The shows are now over and in ac- cordance with our usual custom for some years past, we will look over the field and see how the standard varieties hold their own compared with the new comers. We were afraid a year or two ago that Eaton and Appleton would have a monopoly of the prizes and that our shows would be monotonous from the sameness of the exhibits. That fear has certainly van- ished and now we have a dozen varie- ties that will size up as large or larger than these two ever did. There has been a feeble wail or two heard, as usual, that the public was tired of the large blooms, but anyone that attends a representative show and takes the trouble to watch the crowds carefully and listens to their com- ments, will find that it's the largest blooms that come in for the greatest amount of admiration. While there was some room for criti- cism anent the coarseness of Eaton and Appleton, there is none about some of the novelties, which are as perfect as flowers can be. I give here a list of varieties in their colors and will de- scribe them in detail later. In yellow, Thirkell, Salisbury, F. S. Vallis, General Hutton, Percy Plumridge, Appleton and Cheltoni are the best. In pink, W. Duckham, Leila FiUdns, Durban's Pride, F. A. Cobbold, Mrs. G. Mileham and A. J. Balfour. In white, Merza, Ben Wells, Mrs. Weeks, Eaton, Chadvrick and Nellie Pockett. In red, S. T. Wright, Lord Hopctoun, Maynell, Henry Barnes and H. J. Jones. In odd colors, Mildred Ware, Mary Inglis, W. R. Church, T. Carringtou. Queen Alexandra, Harrison Dick and Brutus. These thirty varieties will give any grower such a choice of color and form as to render him invincible on the show- table if he grows them right. Last year I said that Mrs. Thirkell was the king of the yellows and the way it has been exhibited this year fully bears out that statement. Its only fault is the rather bare neck when taken on the early bud, which is the bud that produces the largest flower. General Hutton makes as large a flower, but it has a narrow line of crimson running down the side of each petal that detracts from it when exhibiting it as a yellow, though in a class of six sixes it makes a grand vase. Lord Salisbury also often comes bronzy red on a late crown and, while it will come pure yellow from an early bud, it can also be set up in the "any other" class. It is more delicate in growth than tho two preceding varieties and will drop out sooner. Appleton was, as usual, very prominent, but it is no longer the only yellow, and Mrs. Thirkell will beat it in the eyes of nine .iudges out of ten. P. S. Vallis takes the place of yellow Carnot. It is an easy grower, comes .iust as large as Carnot and is much the same color. Cheltoni, the yellow sport from Nellie Pockett, will undoubtedly be largely grown for next year. It is a lovely thing, but stock is already be- ginning to run short. Percy Plumridge beat Yellow Eaton at New York and was very favorably commented on there. It has all the earmarks of a good thing and next year when it is sent out, will un- doubtedly show up good. Yellow Eaton I have omitted to mention as an exhibi- tion yellow because I think it is out- classed. As a matter of fact, white Eaton is also, but the white section is not at present so well filled as the yellow. In pinks, W. Duckham is the variety of the year. It seems to have every de- sirable attribute. The ten flowers of this variety that won tho silver cup at New York were the finest flowers in the exhibition and either as a commercial or an exhibition pink it will for years head the Ust. Good pinks are getting num- erous now. Durban's Pride is rather pale and not much use for setting up as a long stemmed flower, but Filkins and Cobbold are both excellent, Cobbold being a particularly strong grower. Mrs. Mileham was set up very fine this year form. There seems no limit to its size in the hands of some growers. The red section is now well enriched and in collections of twelve or twenty- five varieties they are telling colors. S. T. Wright is the king of the batch, with a glistening velvety sheen on its petals that is not seen in any other red. All of this section are now strong growers, Barnes in fact being a very tall grower, but its many virtues atone for that fault. One good grower told me that this year he had Eaton fourteen feet high, by which it can be seen that we have giants in these days. Barnes is a true Jap and shows its color to the best advantage. Maynell is the strongest grower of the lot, though its color is not so fine as Wright. It should be kept in the open sunlight to make all the petals reflex nat- urally. In the odd colored class, Carrington is the only old variety, the others being mostly novelties. Mildred Ware made a grand record in England this year, and next fall, when it is disseminated gener- ally here, it will be a popular variety. A much improved Lady Anglesey is nearest to describing it. It is a Carnot seed- ling and somewhat resembles that va- riety in the arrangements of its petals. W. R. Church has proved itself 'worthy of all the praise I bestowed on it last year. As set up at New York, it won the ad- miration of everyone. Its color is unique and telling, but I am afraid it takes an The vase of Wm. Duckham shown at New York. in several places, as was also A. J. Bal- four. This latter is a splendid color. Its only fault is a sparsity of petals that cuts it down considerably in size. In the white class all the varieties mentioned are well known and need no comment, save Ben Wells. This variety vrill rank high when known, for it is as easy a grower as Eaton, immense in si'' yet finely finished and gives no trouble whatever. Merza is holding out in great expert to grow it to the best advantage. It is a poor grower in the spring, being hard to get growing away from its habit of producing buds, but it richly repays the trouble taken with it. Harrison Dick will become a favorite with the store men as well as an exhibition flower. The ground color is yellow, which is thickly overlaid with red, and the effect is very pleasing. Mary Inglis is an immense, large nctalcd flower that seems to pre- The Weekly Florists' Review, November 2C, 1003. sent limitless possibilities as to size. Its general effect i3 bronze though on the early bud it is almost a yellow. Jt seems to be very slow in producing stock and the demand this year will probably be greater than the supply. To sum up, I would say that no year since I have been watching the exhi- bitions and the new varieties has there been so much interest displayed by the general public or so many good new va- rieties set up. The croaker will croak his usual lay about the interest waning, per- haps, but I think more exhibitions will show a balance on the right side of th'^ ledger than for 3'ears past, and certainly it has been years since we had twelve or fifteen new varieties come out at once and show such wonderful progress and development in size and finish. It seems as if, the world over, the chrysanthemum was again on the flood tide. In France the opening of the national show was considered worthy of a special cable to the great New York dailies, and one gentleman gave an estate worth half a million francs to encourage the cultiva- tion of the queen of autumn. What will happen if one of our billionaires lays him- self out to beat that Frenchman, I shud- der to contemplate. Elmer D. Smith will be getting a million dollars in return f'^i- naming some new seedling Mrs. Astor- bUt, and the rest of us may be able to settle with the coal dealer for last win- ter's coal by growing it for the market. Brian Boru. NEW MUMS. The accompanying illustrations show the two novelties "exhibited early this sea- son by H. W. Buckbee, Kockford, III., and favorably commented on in these columns. The photographs, in our opin- ion, hardly do the varieties justice. The following are the originator's descrip- tions: Mrs. H. W. Buckbee. — Niveus X Mrs. Henry Eobinson. Pure white, slightly in- curved, lower petals reflexing; growth form with lots of substance; grand stem and foliage; at its best October 20. This ^vill nuike a fine commercial variety, every flower coming good. It is an easy grower and grows to about three and one-half feet from June planting. Scored SS points before Chicago committee of the C. S. A. TROUBLE WITH MUMS. This is my first year with chrysanthe- mums. I grew about 200, flowering them in 6 and 7-inch pots. I pinched them back twice during the summer and al- lowed from four to six flowering stems to tho plant. The plants were twice fed with bone meal and liquid manure was given seven times, at intervals of a week. I am very much disappointed at the re- sult and do not know just what the fault is. The entire stock was rooted in April and shifted gradually at thirty- day intervals \intil it reached the 6 and 7-inch pots. The dwarf varieties grew from twenty-five to thirty-five inches high, making ungainly and unsalable plants. The late varieties bloomed too early and on many of the varieties the bloom was very imperfect. I would like to know the cause of my failure, also when chrysanthemums should be rooted to produce the best results, single- stemmed plants in pots and benches. ^Vhen should liquid manure be used and how often? Where should stock plants bo stored? W. H. F. It would be rather a large order to an- swer this letter in detail, or to teU him without seeing his plants the cause of his poor success. He does not say whether he kept his plants inside all summer or had them out in the garden. It has been almost an impossibility of late years to get any kind of plants by growing them outside, and if that has been his treat- ment I would certainly try them inside another year. By running four to six shoots on a 6-inch pot one cannot look for anything but small flowers. A 6-inch Chrysanthemum Mrs. H. W. Buckbee. somewhat like Nivens but not so tall; height attained from June planting four feet. Flower of good size, with fine stem and foliage, at its best the last of October; a fine commercial variety; scored 91 points before the Chicago com- mittee of the C. S. A., October 24. Kockford. — Mrs. Henry Eobinson X Col. T>. Appleton. Yellow incurved; fine pot is a proper size for a single-stemmed plant ; that is to say, a plant grown to produce only one flower. Quality is only produced at the expense of quantity. Where dwarf plants only are needed pinching must be kept up till June, or else propagate the stock later. For sin- gle stems cuttings rooted end of May or early June give best results for 6-inch pots. They keep dwarf, hold their foli- age and if well supplied with food make very good flowers. For ' ' very best re- sults, ' ' by which I assume W. H. F. means the exhibition grade of flowers, the cut- tings should be rooted in March or April and planted on the benches in May. This can only be done where one has six or seven feet of head room for his plants. Feeding with liquid manure may be practiced in the case of pot plants as soon as the plants are well rooted in their final shift. For bench plants ten to twelve weeks after planting is soon enough. There is no definite rule one can follow. The condition of the plants themselves is the only true index and how to judge the condition of the plants is simply a matter of long years of experi- ence. The flowers that W. H. F. sees at the large exhibitions were grown by men who have devoted years of their life to the study of that one particular flower, and he cannot expect to come near that stand- ard the first year, or the second either. The buds being imperfect may be ac- counted for in several ways. Insects, un- less closely watched, particularly grass- hoppers, will raise havoc with tho buds. If the plants were allowed to get dry a few times the check thus given the plant will sometimes cause the bud ' to dry up and never develop. Again, if buds are taken too early in the season, say early in August, they will not develop properly. The last week in August is early enough to take buds as a general rule. The place to keop stock plants is any- where in a light, airy house, with the night temperature just a little above freezing. A cool, dry place is all the chrysanthemum asks for the winter. I would advise W. H. F. to look up his old papers and read the cultural notes there found from week to week. This, with his own experience and observation, will help guide him along better next year.

Florists' Beview: — Replying to your inquiry in regard to the chrysanthe- mum shown at New York as Dr. Engle- hardt and passed upon by the New York committee as Dr. Engelhard, would re- port as follows: The variety was raised by Auguste Nonin, Paris, France, and is given in his list as Dr. Enguehard. The variety was exhibited before the Cincinnati committee, a week ago, under this name as reported to you. In send- ing the announcement to the papers, an exact copy of the report of the New York committee was made. I have already noticed two or three different spellings of this variety, but Dr. Enguehard is the only one authorized by Nonin 's list. Fred H. Lemon, Secretary. PIERSONI AND ANNA FOSTER. J. W. S. asks: "Will some one tell me through the columns of the Review what temperature and treatment gets the best results with Piersoni and Anna Fos- ter ferns?" The genus nephrolepis are all natives of the tropics. Nicholson says: "A small but widely distributed genus all natives of the tropics." N. cordi folia, better known to tlorists as tuberosa. is a native of Central America and so, I think, is N. exaltata, and it's from this fine species we have the form Bostoniensis and then Piersoni and Anna Foster, and there will likely be many other variations in this fine fern. It is strange to note that al- though N. exaltata was found and in- troduced as long ago as 1793, almost a century elapsed before it became the widely grown and deservedly popular plant that it now is. As it is a tropical fern, then a warm house is the place to grow it to perfection. On a recent visit to the botanic gardens in Buffalo I no- ticed specimens of exaltata planted out among the rocks in a warm fern house, plants that must be nine to ten feet across, with fronds at least five feet long. There this fern was at home. In most commercial places the growing of this fern is done in the summertime, when we have, under glass, the tropical conditions. In winter, if you expect them to grow fast, you would have to give them 65 degrees at night. But if by Octo- ber you have produced good sized plants, then from that on during the winter months 55 degrees will do them very well and put them in condition better suited for decorations for your customers than those taken out of a warm, moist house. As to treatment, if you have grown Bostoniensis well, you can grow the two beautiful forms, Piersoni and Anna Fos- ter. Some growers plant out, in five or six inches of soil, all the runners they can get and lift them when tliey have grown to be plants large enough for 6 or 7-inch pots. The finest plants are, I believe, better grown entirely in pots. There seems to be no particular quality or texture of soil suited or essential for these free growing ferns. A good yellow loam (not sandy), with some leaf mold and rotted manure added, would be ideal. Yet I know that such soil as you would put on your benches for tea roses 1 ^^^P^^^^^l ■ i IP 1 I^E '^i'^ ^^ ^^^^^^HE ,i h^K 1 ■ t'/^Tf . ■ Wl 9 1 m 1 ■ ^^^^^^^n mm ^^h ^ Seedling Chrysanthemum Rockford. will grow these ferns well. They want plantj- of moisture at the roots at all times and shade only during the hottest months. Whoever saw the mother plant of N. Piersoni surrounded by her two or three dozen very small oifspring in the fall of 1900 and less than eighteen months afterward saw the many grand specimens exhibited by Mr. Pierson could have lit- tle doubt of the freedom and rapid growth of the variety. W. S. CARNATION NOTES-EAST. Bursted Calyxes. Some varieties of carnations are more liable to burst than others, or rather, certain varieties possess a naturally weak calyx, and in consequence, any sud- den deviation in treatment or direct vio- lation of laws governing proper culture, shows its effect here. Any variety will burst under radically wrong treatment, so when we see it stated that a certain sort never bursts, it is reasonable to take the statement to mean that its calyx is naturally strong and if handled rightly will give no splits. The cause of a large percentage of this trouble can be traced to tempera- ture and generally it is a case of its being allowed to fall at a time when the buds are about to show, or are ,iust show- ing, color. On the morning of a bright day the ventilators may have been raised too high in one operation or left open too long toward night. Perhaps a sudden drop in temperature outside took place during the night, or in some way the plants received a chill. The imme- diate effect is to retard the progress of the petals outward, toward and through the top of the calyx. Doctors of medicine would call it congestion, and so it is here, the effect being that on returning to a higher temperature the petals begin to unfold before the congestion can be re- lieved, resulting in the calyx giving way. Another cause is carrying the temper- ature too high during cloudy or stormy weather, in which case the amount of heat employed is not attended with suf- ficient light to maintain the balance that should always exist between these two important agencies. With a scarcity of bloom you would never resort to raising the night tem- perature 10 degrees. Why, then, on a dark day, when the thermometer should stand about 60 degrees, allow it to run up to 70 degrees or over, as I have heard related? Any attempt to force matters by using very rich food in the way of soil, top dressing heavily or strong liquid manure, will result in a crop of mal- formed and split blooms. The variety Eldorado is one in particular which re- sents liberal use of fertilizers. Overwatering is injurious in many ways and ■ndth some varieties this error in treatment shows a marked effect on calyxes and this is especially true of those impatient of disturbance at the roots and slow in getting established after housing, notably Lawson. Could we produce a race of carnations having absolutely non-bursting calyxes, skill in the culture of carnations would become unknown, but of this there need be no fear. The heating appar^^tus must be ample to resist the sudden changes of weather and under perfect control, also ventilat- ors arranged to operate without causing draught over the plants, regardless of direction of wind. Never allow the tem- perature to run up too high and then put on a wide crack of air at once, but trim your sails to meet the weather. Dur- ing any time of year when the outside temperature makes it necessary to close the ventilators at night, it is the watch- ful grower who, between the hours of seven and ten in the morning, has made several trips through the houses to man- ipulate the ventilators. If you are growing acknowledged lead- ing sorts and some are splitting badly, correspond with the originators, who will gladly supply advice. Lawson bothered most of us at the start, but Mr. Fis-licr put us on the right track. Geo. S. Osborn. The Weekly Florists' Review. November 2G, 1903. INSECTICIDES. A correspondent writes: "Let me know what to do with carnations that are covered with green bugs and arc in with other plants, such as coleus and be- gonias." Another says: "Kindly state in your valuable journal what insecticide you would recommend for use on carna- tions and roses in a house with a general stock of pot plants." These inquiries are so near the same that one answer will apply to both. There are several tobacco preparations on the market and all are good. We have used Nicoticide with good effect and I know several large growers who use Aphis Punk and they all speak well of it. Most of these preparations seem rather expensive, but when you consider that they do the work well and at the same time do not injure the most tender plants, they are cheap in the end. The old fash- ioned way of burning tobacco stems will not do when you have to fumigate a house containing very tender foliage plants or delicately colored blooms, as the smoke will burn the one and take the color out of the other. If you have only carnations or roses in the house the tobacco stems will do, but be sure you cut the blooms close before you smoke and have the ventilators raised several hours before you cut again, to let the burnt tobacco odor out of the house. Carnations especially retain the odor a long time. A. F. J. Baitr. ROSES. Cutting and Packing. Care should be exercised in cutting the blooms so that the proper and most suitable eyes may be left to provide strong stems for a future crop. This operation should never be done in too hurried a manner, nor should any care- lessness be tolerated, as if these most suitable eyes are removed we run the risk of getting puny wood, which, if it is not blind, is quite incapable of bear- ing a high grade bloom. There is a practice also in vogue is some places which even with the most careful help often leads to the same re- sult. I refer to the practice of cutting by lamp light during the early morn- ing. Under such conditions it is nearly impossible for even the keenest sighted to always select the proper eye at which to cut. The disastrous consequences of such a practice can only be avoided by relegating it to the realms of innocuous desuetude. If there was any real necessity for this practice it might even, with all its attendant evils, be tolerated, but it is surely detrimental to the best interests of tlie trade to pack and ship this hur- riedly taken cut without giving it any other preparation but a few minutes of a dip in water. Immediately after the cut is taken, and before the wound has had time to dry, the stems should be immersed in water at a temperature not to exceed the temperature of the house from which they were cut, nor to drop so low as 41 degrees. They should then be plactd in the cold room, which should be at a temperature of from 48 to 52 de- grees. The most satisfactory results are ob- tained if they are allowed to remain at that temperature for ten hours before being shipped. If they have to remain any longer the water ought to be changed. After being kept in the cooler for thirty-six hours, the conscientious grower will refuse to ship them to his customers. Year after year we have the same complaints from retailers and commis- sion men who, during the Christmas holi- days, receive large consignments of salted stock from growers not over scru- pulous. The damage done to the trade by thtse transactions is incalculable, be- sides destroying the confidence and friendship wliich ought to exist amongst the craft. In packing the greatest care should be taken to place each individual bloom in such a manner that the petals mav not be injured nor the necks broken. A small roll of cotton batting or tissue paper should be placed under the necks of each row of buds so that the whole weight of the bud may not rest on the petals. Always have the paper next to the buds new and clean. This gives the flowers a much fresher appearance than if newspapers or soiled paper be the material used. The wrappings should always be abundant and sufBcient to withstand severe frost. By attending to these matters, which we will do if we wish for the prosperity of our cus- tomers, which is identical with our own. and not acting too hastily when a kick comes, as come it surely will, wc mav please our customers and have the satis- faction of a clear conscience, which is a great reward in itself.

An appreciative reader of the Review speaks in most pleasant terms of an arti- cle from this pen about propagating summer-blooming tea and" other roses. To use his own phraseology would make one blush, but he continues and says: "Cannot some of your correspondents give us a good plain way to propagate hardy roses from the cutting to the field.'' Doubtless several correspondents ooiild give us very accurate instructions along these lines, and the little I am go- ing to Siiy may bring forth the latest and best methods. If in criticism and correction to what I say, so much the I letter. As is generally known, that great class of roses known as hybrid perpctuals, wliich we buy of American nurserymen and sometimes import, are always liuclilod. Our own nurserymen use the Maiii-lti slock: so do the English and Uiitch, but sometimes the wild native rose. For the standard trees so much in favor in Euroi>e and so great a failure in our northern states, the wild briar stock is always used. The budding opera- ticn is done in the field in July. It is a nurseryman's business, and if you use hut a thousand or two of these roses, either for forcing or for your customers' gardens, you had better depend on buy- NovuMBKR 2ij. i;>ij; Tne Weekly Florists' Review. ing your iit'tds of a reliable luirseryniaii or a oonseientious iiiipcrter. Both ex- ist. A lar:;o proportion of the finest varie- ties of hybrid perpetual roses do very poorly on their own roots. I think Bar- oness Rothsehild and Magna Charta are instances of this, while General Jacqne- niiniit and Ulrich Bninner grow free enough on their own roots. This may seem strange, on first thought, but re- member that some of the varieties that bear the finest blooms have come from the seed of parents that for years did not grow on their own roots, so it is a ease of hereditary disability. Darwin in his "Plants and Animals Under Domestica- tion," mentions that for 200 or 300 years the Scotch shepherds have so persistcntlv out off the tails of their dogs that at last appeai'ed a tailless breed of dog-. This reui.irkable physical abbreviation was not effected in one generation, or ten. but in 200 or 300 it was. for we have seen the dogs. So the hybridist has produced a breed of roses that will not stand on their own legs, but need an artificial and vigorous support. Those varieties of hybrid perpetual roses that grow freely on their own roots can be propagated as follows: In No- \ ember, after the wood is ripe, but not too seveiely frozen, cut the medium- sized canes. Cut into lengths with three eyes. That is the cutting. See that the lower ends of the cuttings are all about even. Tie in bunches of twenty-tive and around the base of each bunch tie a buncli of moist sphagnum moss, not wet. but just moist. Place the bunches of cuttings in flats, with moss between them, and place the flats beneath a very cool bench as far removed from any arti- ficial heat as possible. During winter they form a callus. By the end of Feb- ruary or still later put each cutting in a 2-inch rose pot. This is the critical time with them. A slight bottom heat and cool top would be the ideal condition. After they have sent out roots there w'ill be no trouble, and grown along in a night temperature of 50 degrees and gradually given plenty of air. they can be planted in the open ground after all danger of frost is past. \\'hen the cut- ting is fast breaking into growth thev should not be exposed to any cold draughts. These roses can also be propagated in the same way as many of our hardy shrubs: that is. in a hotbed in July with two or three inches of soil over the manure and three inches of sand on that, keeping the glass heavily shaded for the first two weeks and giadually giving air and light. The condition of the cutting is of most importance with this method, as it is with a deutzia or weigelia. You want the young, green growth, but it should not be the very tender tops or the too ripened gi'owth. The Eamblers are propagated from medium-sized growth taken in October, when the leaf and stem are yet untouched by frost. Cut into two or tln-ee eyes and put into the sand on any ordinary bench. A little bottom heat will help, but the atmosphere should be cool. Yet a very sure way with the Eamblers is to rob the plants you are forcing for Easter of the young, fiowerless growths and put into the sand and treat just as you would your cuttings of tea roses. To revert again to H. P. roses. Ameri- can Beauty is a hybrid perpetual, an-r^ we all know that this all important rose John Cook's White Rose, Seedlirg No. 1 15. is propagated by the million in Februarv. Jfarch and April, from the blind shoots, when the growth is neither too matured nor too succulent, and the H. P. 's would propagate just tlte same, but I will say again in conclusion, you had better leave the propagation of the hardy roses to the nurserymen and attend to your knit- ting in more important lines of your florist business. W. S. COOK'S NEW ROSES. The jiliotographs licrcwith reproduced show the seedling roses which John Cook, of Baltimore, exhibited at the Kew York exhibition. The following descriptions are given : Xo. 11.5 is the largest and purest white rase under cultivation ; tea fra- grance; stiff, erect stems; a seedling of Alice Furou crossed with Baltimore. 2Co. 150 is a cardinal red, a stronger grower than any red rose grown under glass; flower large, with ten to fifteen more petals than Liberty; delicionslv fragrant ; a cross between Liberty and an unnamed seedling raised by Mr. Cook. THE HEATHER. Alexander Wallace lias given us tin- first complete work on the heather (The Heather in Love, Lyric and Lav, pub- lished by the A. T. lie La Mare Co.), al- though the literature of many centuries abounds with references to the flower which stands fcr l^cotlaiid's sentiment, :ind many authors have sought to wield its magic power by incorporating it in the titles of books in no sense relating to the heather. Mr. Wallace, who is a widely read Scotchman, writes in his pref- ace that he has endeavored "to cull from the many references to the heather abounding in Scottish and other litera- ture, and to weave the sprays ihus gath- ered into a literary garland, the beauty and attractiveness of which shall lie in the depth of the sentiment |)ervading it and in the aroma of patriotic love that it exhales. ' ' The result i.s a volume cer- tain to find a cozy corner in the regard of every one who loves Scotland and tilings Scottish. The book is of 245 pages, neatly printed and fully illus- trated. It will be sent postpaid to any- one forwarding $1.50 to the Review. Fort W.wne, Ixd. — Miss C. B. Flick has been having a very successful flower show at her store.

HYDRANGEAS FOR FORCING. J. J. agks for an answer in the Beview to the following: He says he lias sonio hydrangeas, Thomas Hogg and Otaksa, three and fonr years old, \ery mnch root bonnd. They grew tall last summer outside bnt did not flower after one alight 's frost. He has ent them down to within ten or twelve inches of the i)Ot and laid them under a bench in a cool house. He would like some in flower ft.r Easter and some for Hecoration day. Plants that are three and four years old, if they have done at all well should • need a larger pot than a" 7 or 8-in«h. A year-old plant, one propagated last Feliruarv. ivonld be much better for forc- ing. In cutting the Otaksa back so hard you have cut' away, the buds that woukl give you the flowers. I would try but a few of either sort for Easter. Keep- ing them at rest in a cool house is cor- rect, but it should be very cool, and only water eucnigh to keep the wood from shriveling. Start them growing about the first of Mdrch. As they would be dormant you can shake off what soil will i-ome off and give them a larger pot. J don't think you wUl have success with these plants for Easter bloom, but treated as above they may be all right for Deco- ration day. If you try a few for Easter you would, of course, have to start them growing in heat at New Year's. '^^ g. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Covering Pansies. We have had a touch of winter ami may soon expect the real, strenuous ar- ticle and it 's a great comfort to know- that everything is sung and in its win- ter quarters, safe and protected. Here are a few reminders. If von grow pansies in the open field and they should be covered with snow the greater part of the winter, they will ■como out in the spring in good order, but if we are not blessed with snow they will freeze and then heave out of the ground and you will lose many. Hemlock boughs make the finest covering. There is always a bow or arch to these branches which prevents them lying heavily on the little plants. If you are not in the hem- lock belt, then branches of the white pine ■will do and if you are on the prairie, •where neither of these noble trees grow, then rye straw laid between the rows and very lightly over the plants will do, but file evergreen branches are lietter. Hardy Roses and Shrubs. 1 f you made a iilanting of hardy roses for youreslf or your patrons last spring and they have made a growth of three or four "feet, don't indulge in the non- sense of strawing them up; just cut off a foot or so of the longest growths and tie the shoots together and put six inches of stable litter or leaves on the ground l)etween the plants. That is of the great- est benefit. Trying to preserve the tops is folly, because if killed down to within six inches of the ground is of no conse- quence. You would pnine them down as low as that anyway next April. Snow is a great protector of our herba- ceous plants. Some species would perish if it were not for their natural protecting mantle. Yet with us we get "the beau- tiful" in such sudden and copious doses that it frequently breaks down the branches of the deciduous shrubs. I have seen the branches of Hydrangea pauicu- lata grandiflora badly crushed ; also many ottier shrubs. We get called to "como and tie up the shrubs" for our custom- ers. Tying the growths up compactly is well worth doing, but strawing them up like a bale of trees is nonsense, unless you want to find work for your men and make a bill. Protecting Bulbs. llon't be in a hurry to cover the tulip and hvacinth beds that are to look so gay next May. Frost will not hurt them; it is toward spring that the alternate freez- ing and thawing heaves the bulbs to the surface. If they have three inches of stable litter on them by New Year's, it will be in plenty of time. Y'our own flats of these biilbs that are now' out- doors, covered with three or four inches of soil, should be allowed to freeze just an inch or so and then covered with six inches of long stable manur". Leaves would be excellent but its a trouble to keep them in place. So long as the soil in the flats is not frozen these btilbs are making roots, but if you cover too I'arly and keep too warm the tulips that you' don't want till March will have shot np like small yellow snakes standing on their tails and are never worth much for any purpose. I always want the Dutch "hyacinths in 4-inch pots, or a number in 7 or S-inch pans, to be in a frame and, besides the covering of litter or leaves, covered with sash or shut- ters. As you are continually getting out a few of" these you don't want them frozen hard, or any great diflicnlty in getting them out. 1 meant earlier in these notes, while on the subject of protecting shrubs, to sav that our herbaceous plants are often treated shabbily. Perhaps not all but many of our most familiar herbaceous plants are found naturally growing be- neath the shelter of larger vegetation, where leaves have fallen for years or even their own dying foliage has accumulated. We forget this and clean up tbe tops for tidiness' sake and leave them exposed in a bare field, so two or three inches of stable manure thrown over, their crowns is of the greatest benefit, aud particu- larly to those you have planted last spring or this fall. The Storage House. Nothing up to date has in the least hurt our sweet bay trees in tubs but now they shcnild be in their winter quarters. Of late it has been quite a business, this storing sweet bays for our customers. A greenhouse is no place for them. In the first place you cannot afford it, and it is too warm. This business gradually grew on us till we had to build a frame struc- ture, with plentv of big windows for light, and run two hot water pipes around it, to keep out frost. A few degrees of frost would do no harm to the sweet liays, but we have in this shed also a large Hydrangea Otaksa and a few oleanders. So we try and keep the frost out, and no more. AVe do not cater to this trade of storing these plants for the winter; quite the contrary, but ' circumstances arise when you can't get out of it. Make it [la.y, and then there are no tears. Hv- drangeas are deciduous aud when resting in winter want little water. Sweet bays and oleanders are evergreen and should never be allowed to get dust dry. -Of all abominations is the old woman's olean- der. She has great reverence for the old thing but does not want to pay much for its preservation. In fact she would take a .$5 bill for one in a 20-ineh tub and eight feet high, only, "I hate to part u ith it because my mother raised this tree from a slip that an old lady owued in New Jersey and Gen. La Fayette [licked a blossom otf that very tree and wore it on his co.'it. Forcing Bulbs. The Paper White narcissus, if it pays to grow at all, pays best at the holi- days. In fact, I never knew us to have too much at that season. If it is showing white now, it is not too early but it should have a light bench aud not over 50 degrees at night. When this bulb is forced in strong heat it is a poor thing, but in a cool house aud tlie flowers fully expanded it is verv' useful. Konian hyacinths force very easily at this time of J'ear. When about to open their bells they, too, are of mnch better quality if given a house about 55 de- grees at night, aud light. We used to think it very necessary and very grand to have tulips at Christ- mas. They are not wanted at that sea- son. Due Van Thol is the only variet.v that will force so early without extraor- dinary heat, and then it 's not worth while. Ijcave your La Beine. Vermilion Brilliant and Yellow Prince and daffodils outside making roots till New Year's, Avhen if brought in yon can with proper treatment be sure of fine, long-stemmed flowers. Allow twenty days for your cold stor- age crop of valley to be in good order for Christmas. .Six-inch pans of valley in fine bloom are in good demand for a holiday gift. If they are fully matured a few days ahead, so much the better. At this time of year you can use your vallev forcing bed for the present crops. The atmosphere is cool and a little bottom heat w on 't hurt. As the chrysanthemum benches are emptied you will have room to bring in the Japan lilies; not that you should be- gin to force them in too high a beat: 45 to 50 degrees at night will do very well till New Y'ear's, and then begin to give them a strong heat. Last year our Japan lilies were all in by Easter, and .some days to spare, bnt many were too dwarf and we would rather blame ourselves than the quality of the bulbs. We think it was largely due to giving them a strong heat before there were much roots. Christmas Plants. The most interesting work in the green- house now is getting your Christmas stock in proper shape. We see no signs of the Christmas gift taking other than the form of a pretty plant, as for the past NovESiEER 26. 1903 The Weekly Florists' Review. few years. The days of stiff, formal ty- ing of plants is past, but some do need support and it should be done early, so that there is time for the plants to out- grow the stiffness. The Lorraine begonia •vvill need a few tiny sticks to support its slender and flower laden growths, but neither sticks nor threads should be visi- ble. Poinsettias in 6-inch pots will want a stake. They will need it when sold, so do it now. Azaleas will not all come into flower just right. Deutsche Perle is eas- ily gotten out by Christmas, while Simon Mardner and Vervaeneana may want a very high temperature. Be sure and give these forced azaleas plenty of water at the roots and at least one good sprayino every day till the flowers are open. That useful, clieap flower, the sweet stevia. is often past its best at the holidays if kept warm. Anything above freezing will do for it. And if you grow that subdued- colored but beautiful orchid, Cyiiripedium insigne, you can remove the plants to a cool house without doing any harm to the plants and the flowers will hang on in perfect condition for five or six weeks. WiLLiAii Scott. FORCING RHODODENDRONS. During the spring months there are few more showy plants than a Tvell han- dled specimen of rhododendron. In flor- ists' show windows few plants will at- tract more genuine interest, and if the proper methods of forcing are followed they can be sold at a reasonable price with a fair margin of profit. Specimens resent plans are consummated. The ribbon men are placing ' ' original conceptions," as they call them, for the florists under consideration again this fall. Lion & Wertheimers latest novel- ties are violet ties, handkerchiefs and tas- seled scarfs, all very handsome and pop- ular. The supply houses have been over- whelmed with business this season. To talk with the proprietors one cannot fail to believe in the stability and growth of the florists' business generally. To par- ticularize seems unnecessary. I have yet to talk with a florists' supply house or a bulb house that is not more than satisfied with the season 's business. A notable dinner will be that given the football players at the Princeton Inn to- morrow evening. The entire decorations are autumn leaves and yellow chrysan- themums. The work is in the hands of Thos. Young, Jr. Another edition of ' ' How to Cirow A'iolets" is being prepared by the author, CtCo. Saltford, of West Twenty-ninth sti'eet, the demand having completely ex- hausted the second edition. Perhaps this book has had considerable to do with the enormous output of this flower from up the Hudson, where violet growers are legion and increasing by the score every year. A fair estimate of the number of violets to arrive between this and Eas- ter in the New York market is said by an expert to be ea.sily fifty millions. J. Austin Shaw. BUFFALO. The Market. A week of very sharp neather has shortened up the supply of flowers of all kinds and prices have, of course, risen ac- cordingly. Thanksgiving is going to clear out most all the chrysanthemums. So gorgeously they came in with Octo- ber's lovely days; how tawdry like theii" exit! A bench of chrvsanthemiun stumps with a few dozen cripples left dangling about is a depressing sight and it is a relief to see the bench filled with another crop. Still we are studying how many of the wonderful new varieties we will buy, and can almost see a few thousand wonderful prize buds in September, 1904. Those who thought the chrysanthemums' popularity would die out after a few years were mistaken. From my limited vision this year they have been in rather better demand and for fine flowers a bet- ter price has been paid than for several years. Eoses have greatly shortened up, but quality is getting near the mark. Wise Bros., and Wm. Stroh, of Attica, are sending in fine Imperial violets. C. F. Christensen has still some fine benches of Maud Dean and Lincoln 'mums and getting his own price for them. His mignonette is again in great form and so are his Marquis, Prosperity and Crane carnations. Various Notes. It is reported that Joseph E. Keb- stock has bought the house and land of the late Mr. Smiley, at Lancaster. Jo- seph will soon have his hands full, with his Elmwood avenue, Bed Eock and Lan- caster interests, but since his left hind leg is itself again he is reaily for anything. I don't think I have made any comment since election on the effect of defeat on the physical and mental condition of Wm. F. Kasting. The whole democratic ticket was snowed under, but Billy ran 3,000 ahead of the leader of the "ticket and in consequence his spirits have been in a state of effervescence ever since and he has gained thirteen and one-half pounds and a hat one-eighth of an inch smaller fits him and he is a very busy man. Very few visitors of late, and of those we only heard. That brilliant young an- tipodean, Mr. McHutchison. was here and I am very sorry to have missed Mr. Eo- ney, manager of the twelve-acre Lake View establishment at Jamestown. Twelve acres of glass, and yet Mr. Eoney was making contracts with growers in the neighborhood. What an outlet this big place must have. The youngest son of Wm. Scott (Oliver Goldsmith, age 14) has recently gone through a very successful operation for appendicitis, and is now home again ready to give S. A. Anderson or Brother Willie the correct "dope" on the Ben- nings and Latonia meetings. W. S. CHICAGO. The Market. Keceipts have not bivu unusually large this week, hut ample to meet the require- ments of the Thanksgiving demand. Beauties have been amons;- the most plentiful items and there are reports of some concession on large lots from quotations on the extra lengths. Cxood Brides and Bridesmaids were very scarce, and there is i-ecord of sales of small lots of choice stock at prices well above quoted rates, but nine-tenths of the material was of a character not suited to the shipping trade and realized veiy low figures. Cliatenay was one of the most plentiful of roses and sold very well. Carnations were estimated by a number of the wholesalers to have been in not more than half the quantity re- ceived in this market for Thanksgiving a year ago, and prices, therefoi-e. were well maintained up to Tuesday night; 2 and 3 cents has b:;M'n readily jiaid for ordinary' stock, with fancies at 4 cents, and some special stock, like Enchantress, going much higher. Good violets have been in demand and prices satisfactory. The supply of chrysanthemums was con- siderably above what had been antici- pated, and only slight advances in price were possible. Tliere was a very good de- mand for the smaller stock, and it was in this particular that the market was the shoi't^st, most of the receipts run- ning to the better quality of goods. There was as usual more or less evi- dence of pickled stock and, of course, much stock was received too late to supply the demand, for the growers seem never -y NOVE-MBER 20, 190S.

A noteworthy feature •vvas that the buyers were reluctant to place advance orders, not seeming to know what their requirements were like- ly to be. Various Notes. John P. Eiscli reports all preparations complete for the Florists' Club's third annual ball at the Masonic Temple next Wednesday evening. Tickets have been widely distributed and are reported sell- ing well. A complete success seems as- sured for the evening's entertainment. E. C. Amling reports that cattleyas have been very scarce and of indifferent <]uality. but he is now getting some very good stock from one of the large eastern growers. N. .J. Wietor reports sales of Kn- chantress carnations at .8 cents this week. Unfortunately, the supply of this grade of stock was not great. Geo. Reinberg had a heavy cut for Thanksgiving, with many Beauties. He now has carnation cuttings rooted ready to ship. Sinntr Bros, are handling Eeed & Keller's Christmas bells and report a good demand. It is reported that a horse and wagon belonging to the Chicago Carnation Co. was stolen from the street at Joliet last Saturday night. The wagon contained all the provisions for the comiiany's em- ployes for the week. John Zeck, at J. A. Budloug's, says this has lieen the biggest Thanksgiving in their history, but they had plenty of stock to fill orders. Eecent reports from the green district in Wisconsin indicate that picking has ceased in many localities because of snow and cold weather. One well known handler of green reports that he has never known, in more than twenty years' experience, the time when any considera- ble quantity was picked after as lurrd a freeze as that of last week. Very little green has as yet reached this market, and none whatever outside of legitimate channels. There is record of sales of $6 and $7 per 100 pounds. Bassett & Washburn are cutting some very well grown ilrs. Jerome Jones. jj. Coatsworth is at Xew Castle for a few days' outing. Kennicott Bros, have had some very choice Chadwick munrs this week, but E. E. Pieser says it was a tough proposi- tion to get an extra 50 cents 'a dozen out of them on account of the unusual •quality. The sorts that were wanted were the kind that wholesale at from §5 to .$8 per hundred. A.

The Market. A complete change came over the cut flower market at the close of last week and by Saturday night there was really no presentable stull' to be had in town, a most extraordinary thing after the long period of over-production. This welcome change was due partly to the rapidity with which ici(des followed Indian summer, and partly to the rapidity with which the social "wheel is revolving, though not as yet startling. The rose growers, being closer to the city, were much quicker to grasp the situation than their more dis- tant brethren, who grow carnations. Ine latter flower Viecame extremely scarce and from present appearances will con- tinue so until after Thanksgiving. Chrysanthenuims are very plentiful. There seems no probability that this week Avill anywhere near finish them. Prices have advanced on nearly all choice stock, with likelihood of their going higher in the next few days. They are, however, lower in many cases than at this time last year. Easter lilies are now offered in quantities, the Larchmont Nurseries shipping them regularly to S. S. Pen- nock. Paper Whites have also made their appearamc, but Romans are over- due. The Business Outlook. Considerable apprehension has been felt that the season now commencing would prove a poor one. The depression in securities and real estate will, it is argued, have a very serious effect on our business. As evidence of tliis it is pointed out that the month of November is far behind the same month last year. While all this is true, there seems good reason to believe that we are about to experience a very fair season. General business, outside" of stocks and real es- tate, is excellent and the wealth and population of this city and those adja- cent to it are so rapidly increasing that active demand seems assured. The wil- liugness shown by the department stores to spend money on flowers and plants and the speed with which quantities of stock have lately been marketed bear out this belief. Decorative Plants. The shipjiing season for foliage plants is about over. December usually brings considerable local demand and a few orders from out of town points. The quantities of palms sold have been larger tlian ever before and while there arc probably also more left than in the past, few of" them are large plants. The features of the season have been the de- cided preference shown for kcutias over arecas, more marked even than in the past. The distribution of the golden pandanus, now scattered pretty thorough- ly over the (Mitire country, the advent of the Piorson fern, warmly welcomed in this city, and the great auction sale, the first of the its kind ever held in this city, were notable. There are other points of special interest: The making up in in-inch pots of Draca?ana terminalis, so cleverly executed by Lemuel Ball; the reawakening of general interest in Pan- danus Veitchii, deserviug of more favor as a house plant when grown cool and kejit drv; the appearance of the new Ficus pandurata at Robert Craig & Son's,'-, and the immense sale of small ferns in flats. Notes. J. J. Habermehl 's Sons had some very large orders a few days ago. They used a great many cattleyas and lilies of the vailev, iiOO Cypripedium iusigne and a thousand bunches of single violets. Wm. A. "Walton, of Oxford, Pa., has lately purchased an automobile, an en- couraging sign for the flower market sujqiorters. Edward Reid has had some good ship- ping orders lately. He stated tliat one box^ went all the wav to Valley City. N. D. Pennock Brothers have been taking most of the fancy heliotrope that Dunn & Co. are handling. This is a really wonderful thing, large fragrant clusters of flowers borne on s'tems fully three feet long. It reflects great credit on the grower, Arthur Mallon, Jr. Now that Pandanus Sanderi is liecom- ing less plentiful at Riverton, James T. Clark has redoubled his vigilance; not even the vestige of a cutting escapes his watchful eye. Leo A'iesseu is receiving some splendid Liberties from A. Farenwald; his stock promises to be very fine througliout De- cendier. Phil. ST. LOUIS. The Market. During thepastweekthemarkct remained much the same as previously reported, though funeral work was more plentiful. A sliglit improvement is noticed todav (Monday) owing to the approach of Thanksgiving and we are hopeful that the business will continue good from now on. The supx'>ly is still large and plenty of good stock is obtainable at all the wholesale houses. Prices are up a few notches this week on all grades of stock. American Beauties have already reaehfd $-1 to $6 per dozen for special selection, but $.3 is the average price for the good grades. Brides and ilaids are in good supph" and fancy stock figures from $.5 to $8 per 100, wliile $3 and $4 buvs fair stock. Carnot, Meteor, Golden Gate and Ivory are selling well this week and fancy stock is up to $10 per 100 on these. Perlo and Sunset are $4 and $5 jier 100. Carnations are cleaning up pretty well this week and some very fine stock is in the market of Joost. Flora Hill, Crocker.

Dec. 10, the new Breit- meyer rose will be on exhibition and the members will have a ehauee to name it. This attraction alone should bring out a large attendance. With this ex-Pres- idf-nt Dunford will read an essay on "Stem Eot." which should be of great interest to all our carnation growers, and Col. Max Herzog will lead a discussion on heating greenhouses, which is also of great importance. The president ex- pects a full attendance and especially the chairmen of the different commit- tees.

I should like to know if Harrisii and longiflorum lilies can be grown with good success, started in 4 and .5-'Uch pots, then planted on a bench in live or six inches of soil? C. A. M. Yes. most decidedly you can plant out Harrisii or the Japan longiflorum on a bench. There would be no need of start- ing them in any larger pots than 4-incLi and five inches of soil would be more than enough on the bench. Four inches of soil would do just as well. There is a great advantage in starting them in small pots, because then, before planting them on the bench, you can select tlie strongest and earliest for one batch and the next strongest for another, and so on. as well as discard all those diseased, stunts, misfits and those suffering from "general debility." W. S. LOUISVILLE, KY. We ha\e had quite a little winter hero for several days, the thermometer go- ing down as low as liJ degrees, but it is turning somewhat warmer. Business all along the line the past week has been all that could be expected; lots of good chrysanthemums to be had. .Jacob Schulz gave a very fine chrys- authtnuuu show at his store on Fourth avenue, November IS to 21. The interior of the store was decorated with some very large bay trees and palms and ferns, which made the place look very fine. In the rear of the store, in his greenhouse, was the show of cut chrysanthemum?. Vihich were grand. His Yellow Eatons were sure enough extras, some measuring six inches across. The Jerome Jones, Chadwi<-k and Mrs. Perriu were very fine but what attracted the most attention were the Begonia Gloire de Lorraine The plants were growing in 6 and 7-inch nots. To top it off his roses, such as Sunrise and Mme. Chatenay, were won- ders to everybody. Tliere were also fine blooms of" carnations,' Enchantress, Adonis, Xelson, Lawson and Prosperity. A vase of handsome sweet peas was also shown. It was a successful show. Jos. Coenen & Co. have as fine a bench of Mrs. Lawson carnations as can be seen anywhere around here. Their palms and ferns are all in good shape for Christ- mas. It takes John Bohrman and Mike Bell to handle them. Wm. Mann, the good old lily king, out in the souWiern ]iart of town, is alwai's busy when you call on him, but he al- ways has a good worel for you. Fred Haupt 's store is very attractive. His show windows are always done up in fine style. His new delivery wagon is a beauty; you may call it the American Beauty. Wni. Walker, the good old smiling Scotchman, always has a kind word for the writer when he calls on him. His Bride roses and chrysanthemums are verv fine. Hy. Fuchs has made quite an improve- ment in his houses and now has his place in fine shape; The writer made a visit to jVanz & N"euner. at St. Mathews, and took a stroll ihrough the different greenhouses and found everything in apple pie order. Geo. Eeneisen took me through the Amer- ican Beauty house, which was in fine shape, with a heavy crop in sight for Christmas. The carnation houses were all that could be desired, healthy plants md lots of buds. George is taken with Enchantress. Their chrysanthemums were very fine this season. Ed Heitz's place, opposite St. Louis cemetery, is in fine shape. His roses are all looking fine. C. H.

As with many other subjects used for forcing, one of the first essential con- ditions in rluibarb is to have the roots subjected to freezing before placing them in the forcing quarters. At the present, time the frost is not likely to be strong- enough to penetrate so deep as to give the desired results, but the roots can be thrown out on the surface of the ground, and subjected therer to 10 or 15 degrees, of frost without hurt. It is well to' watch the temperature closely when the roots are exposed like this, and if there- is a likelihood of it running more than' 1.5 degrees below the freezing point, to be prepared to cover the roots with loose- litter and prevent their being damaged. Wherever the forcing is to be done, the place should be darkened. This dark- ening not only hastens growth but ren- ders the product much more tender. A, mushroom house is the ideal place for forcing rhubarb, but it can be done un- der greenhouse benches by shading with curtains of burlap or some such material, though as a rule the space under the greenhouse benches does not allow head room enough. It should have space enough from the top of the crowns to- allow the stalks to attain a length of at least two feet.. The roots should be lifted with enough, soil adhering so that no other covering will be necessary. Then the clumps can be packed as closely together as they will stand. We put them up in rows about three feet wide, leaving space be- tween the rows for a passageway for watering and gathering. A plentiful supply of water is neces- sary, ami if it can be given about the same temperature as that of the house, so much the better. After growth is well started frequent waterings with weak liquid manure will help to strengthen the stalks. Atmospheric moisture is neces- , sary to keep the stalks crisp; a dry heat tends to make the product tough and tasteless. Our experience is that a tem- perature of .5.5 degrees is. all things con- sidered, the best. Growth will be ouicker at a higher temnerature, but quality is apt to be sacrificed, where at a much lower temperature growth would be too slow to be profitable. W. S. Croydon. , PROPAGATING THE POTATO. I saw a note in a recent issue of the Eeview about propagating the potato anef ' will give you my experience in raising , the New Gold Coin potato. I got on© pound of the tubers about March 1, 1903, and put them in a box in the green- house. "When sprouted about two inches I took the sprouts out and put them in jiots. When about four inches high I cut. the tops off three or four leaves above tlie soil. These cuttings I potted in a compost of equal parts sand and soil. Xearl.v every one rooted and when four or five inches higli I, took the tops off as before. This was continued until I had 46.5 plants from the one pound of tubers. These were set in the field at ' the proper time and about September 20 T dug 934 pounels of potatoes. Had I left them in the ground another thirty , days I would have had 100 to 200 pounds miire. for many of tlie tubers were not fullv matured. ' J. B.\lbivin.

The pickling varieties of encumber go at from $1-50 to $3.00 per pound. One lot of 1,000 pounds is offered at $1.50 per lb. Evergreen sweet corn is eagerly sought and $5 per bushel has been paid: $7.50 to $10 is about what tliose who have any are asking, and last year's max- imum price of $15 per bushel for Ever- green is likely to be idealized for a genu- ine article. CABBAGES are now seHing at good jirices and a stiff' market is likely to. pre- \ail all tlirough the winter. Onions are also advancing, and as there is not an liver supply, prices for them will proablv soar later. The prices that growers get for these articles during the winter have quite an effect upon the size of their seed order for them the following spring. The severe frost of the past week has not improved the outlook for sweet corn. .V considerable ((uantity that has been counted upon as being available for seed, and which under ordinary conditions ivonld have been all right, was in too green a state to stand the freeze. The worst thing about this is that the sec- tions where the chances for securing good .(uantities of Evergreen and other can- uers' varieties was the best, are the ones tliat have been hit the hardest. Scarcitv of sweet corn is no longer a matter of ■ lebate, it is an admitted fact. GOVERNMENT SEEDS. We are in rc-i'lpt of thn fidlowing cir- cular letter dated 'Washington, D. C.

Smith 's circular he gives fig- ures to shoTv that in 1S96 the govern- ment seed shop sent out $75,000 worth of seeds while in 1004 $290,000 is to be expended. He states that in 1901, under contract, the cost was: $4.4.5 per thousand packets, while this season, cheaper seeds and less quantities to the packet put up under government management will cost $6 per thousand packets. There is much other information of like character fa- miliar to everyone who has watched the government seed distribution, but one statement which may be news to many is that ' ' several firms, who, because of their prominence in the trade, and the positions occupied by their members on various committees of the seedsmen 's organiza- tions, might naturally be expected to aid the movement against the congres- sional distribution, are selling to the de- partment large quantities of 'new and improved ' varieties of seeds which are distributed by the department as 'novel- ties and specialties. ' As each package of such ' novelties and specialties ' con- tains a circular giving the name of the firm supplying the seeds, they are thus given tremendous advertising by the de- partment at the expense of the public purse.

WHOLESALE FLORISTS, 504 Liberty Ave., Pittsburg, Pa. Mpiitliin RqvIpw when yon write. LOCKLAND, OHIO. It was my second visit to "Bloom- liurst, ' ' Mr. Partridge 's comparatively new range of houses. When I first visited the place, some four years ago, it con- sisted of four or five houses, the nucleus of the present large range. Mr. Part- ridge's establishment now consists of twenty large houses, in the neighborhood of 100,000 square feet of glass, with a boUer pit holding three boilers of suffi- cient capacity to provide for six addi- tional houses to be built in the spring. A stroll .through the ten carnation houses proved interesting indeed. Here I beheld the cream of the standard vari- eties as well as those of recent intro- duction ' ' done to a turn. ' ' Clean, strong and healthy will about describe the con- dition of the plants. From all appear- ances they .did well in the field, which accounts for their splendid behavior since housing. Like most of the progressive growers of to-day, Mr. Partridge believes in early planting. That early planting is the better method a glance at any modern carnation establishment, east or west, north or south (and I have seen a few in my travels) would soon con- vince the most skeptical. "Pinch your plants if you do not want your flowers early, ' ' remarked a prominent grower to me, "but give them an early start in the houses if you expect good results." However, to return to Mr. Partridge's carnation houses, like everywhere else, Lawson is boss, among the pinks, though in stem it yields to Mrs. E. A. Nelson. The latter, as grown here, bears out all the claims- that -n-^re made for this fine, though much abused variety. Floriana does equally well, promising to be at its best for ,. Christmas trade. Genevieve Lord, Frances Joost and Melba are still holding their own here, the first one especially, looliing as fine as it did in its halcyon daysi when first put upon the market. ■ What LaWson'is among pinks, Wolcott seems to be among whites, with White Cloud as a close second. Boston Mar- ket, although small as compared with its half-brother or cousin, Wolcott, is never- theless a fine and paying variety. Peru is still given a chance, though in all proba- bility it will be its last chance. Apollo, Crane and Estelle are the trio in red and while all do well, Mr. Partridge thinks (and many growers coincide with him) that there" is ample room for a good one in that color. It is to be hoped that the introductions of this season may meet all expectations. A glance at the rose houses was equally interesting. Planted in time, with good clean stock and well treated since, thei roses, as a matter of course, are yielding good returns.

J. a.«ks: ■•n.,.u shall I treat English pelargouium.s from noTy on till in bloom next spring? They are in S'/i- inch pots and kept on the dry side. ' ' Spring is not the tim.e to propagate the show pelargoninm, -n-hieh is doubtless meant; they should be propagated in September. If these plants have not yet been cut down, do it at once. Cut them down to within three inches of the pot. They will break freely. Give them scarcely any water till the young growth appears, which Ti-ill be in three or four weeks; then shake off all the soil and shorten back the longest roots and repot in no larger pot than they were previously in. Give them a light bench and about 50 degrees at night. They will need t shift in February. The tops of the plants that you cut off will root freely now in sand. The usual time of flowering of these beautiful pelargoniums, so handsome and yet so little grown nowadays, is May and June. Br August they have made their growth and should then be gradually and only slightly dried off and September is the month for propagating, as described above. I will add once more, you must cut low down or the two-year-old pelar- gonium becomes a most unsightlv plant. 'W. S.

The Market, We have had a shortening up in the supply of roses and chrysanthemums dur- ing tiie last few days, but still there are jileutv to meet all demands. Trade has improved considerable with all the store- men and the outlook for a good trade from now on is very good. In roses the i|nalitv has improved and some fine Hrides and ilaids are now in the market, which sell easily. American Beauties are also in the best of condition and meet \Yith good demand. Carnations are in active demand and not near enough arrive to go around. White and good pink in particular are very scarce. Chrvsanthemums are whole- saling at $5 to $15 per hundred; some of the large Jones, Eaton and Golden Wedding bring $20 per hundred; a few specimen blooms 30 cents each. Violets, vallev and mignonette are arriving m laroer quantities and the demand is good, while sweet peas of excellent quality are selling slowly. Smilax is a glut and hard to move at respectable prices. Notes. Mr. Burki is sending in some fine blooms of Enchantress and Prosperity carnations and the best ilaids. Brides and Cusins coming to this market come from his Bakerstown place. Blind Bros, struck it just right on a nice lot of giganteura lilies for Thanks- giving. Patrick Maier is cutting the first Ro- mans and Paper Wliites in this section. John Bader has his greenhouses well stocked with decorative plants for Christmas. G. and J. W. Ludwig are receiving regular shipments of roses from the Dale estate. Canada, among them the new rose, Canadian Queen, which is much ad- mired and quickly bought up by their retail trade. Frank Paulk, one of the few among the craft who is a true nimrod, has re- turned from a successful pheasant hunt. ,Tohn Baldinger, who met with a pain- ful accident some weeks ago, is able to bo about again. The next regular meeting of the Florists' Club occurs Tuesday evening, December 1. Christmas decorative ma- terial, plants, etc.. will be on exhibition and some practical demonstrations made of the various uses of material. A large attendance is expected at this meeting. Visitor: Congenial Jlr. Skidelsky was iu town. He said he finds business very- good. Hoo-Hoo. 24 The Weekly Florists^ Review* November 20, llio,'! CLASSIFIED PLANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

Vio- lets', although generally not eousidered lank feeders, do not do well after a cou- ple of seasons on the same ground, and the best results are obtained iuvariablv tjn new soil. No use is made of the old plants;, aod they are usually plowed up and the ground u.sed for something else. Eed spider seems to be the only draw- back to the successful growtli of violets and. as I stated btfore, in such localities is are blessed with cool and more or less foggy nights this little insect is un- known, and. if the plants are well eul- iivated and the problem of picking them cheaply is solved, the violet becomes a .-cry remunerative crop. I find that raac- of our Italian friends have all the way from six to a dozen children, and the- can all be found out in the fields' from early morning until late in the day, har- vesting the crop. Princess of Wales comprises nine-tenths <.f the crop and a few growers still have rcUches of ilarie Louise, Neapolitan and ■Swanley White, but they are all late blooming kinds and not in great demand. The first flowers were offered about Sen- ber 1 this year and wholesaled at S^l.-jO per dozen bunches. Violets can lit made to flower all the year if the ruu- iier.s are kept picked and |iienty of mois- ture is furnished, but tlie flowers are Aveak of stem and fall to jiieces very soon after picking during our several liot drv summer months. 0. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. We have had an almost steady down- pour of rain for the last five da.vs and business has snfl'ered in consequence. Al- though the dark days are not productive of any great quantity of indoor flowers, these have been ample to supply all de- mands. Several of the stores have had a goodly quantity of funeral work, bitt outside of this there is practically noth- ing doing. Violets are coming in more P'lentifully than they have been at arr time during the season, and I think there will be an over abundance of them in a few days. The Stanford-Berkeley inter collegiate football game on Friday last tised up thousauds of yellow 'mums, and great quantities of red ones, but the side- -walk venders hail the bulk of the busi- ness. Paper White narcissi have made their appearance and are being sold yjt $1 per hundred, wholesalt. If we have plenty of moisture and not too much frost we can count on plenty of these •flowers for several months to come. Val- ley remains scarce, and is in good de- mand. Notes. The Shanahan Floral Company reports business much ahead of last ytar at this time. Their show of flowers is one of the best in the city. H. M. Sanborn, the well known florist of Oakland, who has been keeping a rec- ord of the rainfall for the last quarter of & century, predicts a heavy rainfall for the coming season, Mr. Sanborn is con- sidered quite a weather prophet. The death of Orestes Pierce last week removes from our midst one who was greatly interested in horticulture. Mr. Pierce had ore of the finest collections of orchids in California.

Last season there were not near enough to go around. Better hang a big 8-inch Bell in your window and a small 3'j-inch one near your desk where customers will see it when ordering flowers. There are three intermediate sizes you will find useful for stock : all are well made. Our Red Stars are very effective in decorations where much green is used. You will find our Scarlet Immortelles a valuable aid in giving variety to your work. They can hi made into designs, dotted over our natural wreaths or used in a dozen other ways. H.

After tliree days of zero weather vrp again have moderate temperature, mucli to the satisfaction of the smaller grow- ers, who are short of coal at the present time, owing to the eoal strike that is on throughout the state of Colorado. There has been an abundance of cut (lowers up to the present time, and if ir had not been for funeral work some of our iall months would have been as bad as summer months. Chrysanthemums this fall have not been up to the standard and consequently fBe demand for them has been light. En- chantress grown by Benson and Daniels & Fisher have been superb and conse- quently brought good prices. E. W. Davies, president of the Den- ver Floral Society, buried his eldest son. George, on November 15. The funeral was well attended by the craft and r"- merons emblems were sent, noticeably a large gates ajar by the Denver Floral Club. The Park Floral Co, is about to onen a branch store at Broadway and Seven- teenth avenue, where they have a large store and greenhouses for plants and the first of the year they will move from their down-town "store entirely. The new lo- cation should bo a good one. Scott & Eeynolds have leased a store on Sixteenth street and will start a first- class tlower store there January 1. The Denver Floral Club has resumed its meetings after a summer vacation and great things are expected in the fu- ture. Thokke. PoTTSViLLE, Pa. — H. p.

Business for the past "o.-k has shown a slight incliuation upwanl, -nhile the cut of everything has shortened up con- siderably, and the i-oming week will see the greater part of the 'mums cut and sold.' Pri<-t>s held as last quoted on fresh stuif, but job lots eould be bought at very low prices last week. Notes. A recent visit to the greenhouses of the J. JI. Gasser Co., at' Kocky Kiver, found everything in good shape for cold weather, especially in the new boiler room, where two eighty horse-power boil- ers are taking care of the new section at jireseut. and a new 100 horse-power boiler is held in reserve for later use. The new houses built this season bring the place up to 300,000 feet, and it cov- ers about five acres of land, many of the houses being 28x300. Eoses and ear- nations are the principal plants grown and the stock is looking good. A large house of violets is in with a large cut of flowers at present, and a house of sweet peas showed many fine blooms. Every- thing is arranged" with the view to save time and labor, and ilr. Gasser is to be congratulated on appearance of his place. K.

If the flower show gave trade any boost it has not yet been apparent. Business was fair the past week but there was noth- injj rushing about it. Stock is fairly jilontiful and prices have been increased a little in anticipation of Thanksgiving business. Eed roses and violets are among the short articles. Carnations are more plentiful this season than ever be- fore. In that line the growers are catch- ing up with the trade. Violets seem to bo otf crop, owing to the fine Indian summer or to some condition beyond the grower's control.. Mums are still plenti- ful, but this week will see the most of them gone. Through carelessness on the part of a drayman Holm & Olson lost a large num- ber of beautiful palms by freezing. They were being taken home from the show. X. Y. Z. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. We are having a little winter weather, just about cold enough to keep the flor- ists looking out for their fires. Busi- ness is not as good as it ought to be at this season, but everyone is in hopes of doing a good Thanksgiving trade. The regular meeting of the Florists' Club was held November 12, at W. L. G. Brown's greenhouses and we had a very nice time. Mr. Brown is a bachelor, but you would never know it by the nice lunch he put up for us. We had a very interesting talk on chrysanthemums.

Tho aooonipauyiug ilhistiation of a wedding decoration is from a photograph of work put up by Poolo & Purllant at St. Patrick 's eliurch, Bcllefontaine, O. AVild smilax was largely used about the entrance and white chrysanthemums and ribbon were used along tho central aisle. At the altar chrysanthemums and deco- rative plants were employed to good ef- fect. This is said to have been the most .■laborate decoration erer put up in Belle- ton taine. DRAPERY STUDIES. IV — Mimicry. Among the patterns which can be cop- ied sensibly and legitimately in flower and foliage designing are corn stalks, spider webs, lovers' knots, geometrical figures as found on insects ' wings, and numerous beautiful unnamed forms of decoration seen on plants and animals and even on minerals. Many of these ;ire mimicked from one great natural or- der in another, orchids being conspic- uous examples in their resemblance to the markings of butterflies and other in- sects. The different kinds of spider webs are fascinating copies, and not difiicult to reproduce. Among the accompanying illustrations (see half-tones on pages 48 and 49) is the photograph of a re- production of a simple form of web em- ployed in a screen. The same design has been used on front of a chapel wall, and in the chancel and on either side. The design can be adapted to a large place and can be repeated indefinitely on even or rough surfaces, across corners or in tall doorways or arches. A free adaptation of the corn stalk design is found illustrated. A medium sized string of smila;^ with a few straijds pulled out at the sides and top gives the idea. Lovers' knots of smilax make a pretty frieze on a light background, a detail of which is illustrated. The frieze is a de- sign seldom used in our work, but very effective along the upper walls or above a wainscoting. It may be briefly de- scribed as a panel set horizontally on a wall. However, a step too far in mimicry will carry an incautious worker into the domains of the ridiculous. Similar indis- cretions have led to attempts at reproduc- ing animal life. It is no wonder sensible people laugh at those florists who send out lambs, elks, etc., where the custom- er's taste is not the one to blame. It must always be remembered — perhaps with many of us first learned — that our designs are not ultimate in their pur- pose; that they are merely suggestive, and ^vhen we have reminded the onlook- ers of green pastures and shady nooks. We have aeeomplislied our highest pur- pose. Gertrude Blair. ROSES. Seasonable Treatment. The general care of tlu' houses dur- ing the dark months will entail more critical and accurate judgment in all its details, as any error or carelessness in the a|iplication of feediug material, air, heat, or water will ne certain to liring trouble. This being the season wheu all vegetable life calls for a rest, roses will, under the most favorable conditions, have a tendency in that di- rection. This tendency it is the t<".sk or the grower to overcome by bringing all his knowledge and skill to his as- sistance. By a course of gentle stiuuilation and feeding he can keep his ])lauts continu- ally on the move, though at a much slower rate than during the jireeeding months. Owing to this sluggishness \\io jilants riMpiire much less food and as canes and large buds. When the mulch is partly exhausted an application of nmnure water once a week will also greatly strengthen them. It is better not to use liquid manure when the crops are ready to cut, as this is apt to destroy their keeping qualities. A gen- erous sprinkling of air-slaked lime once or twice during the time they are making wood will helji to give stiffness to the stem and to the necks of the buds. Soils which are deficient in c"' careous matter are prone to produce weak necks if unassisted during the dark days. Color is another matter which must be looked after. Too much rich feed- ing will, as a rule, detract from the brilliancy, especially in pinks, and has to be carefully guarded against. A sprinkling of wood ashes once or twice a month will help to retain the coloring and even intensify it. Overcharging the air with the fumes of either tobacco or sulphur will also bleach the color of pinks, and to obviate this light and periodic fumigations should be prac- ticed rather than wait until compelled to adopt radical measures to effect the purpose. The benches should be carefully ex- amined previous to wate'ring, especial I \- after mulch has been applied, as the mulch may be quite wet while the soil in the bench may be bone dry. A criti- cal examination will also reveal some Church Decoration by Poole & Purllant, Bellefontaine, O. evaporation i5 also at a minimum the supply of water will have to be more carefully apportioned. A repetition of a few general rules for safely conducting the houses dur- inqf this period, with some hints on the methods of their application, may be of some benefit to the less exnerienced. For stock which is in a healthy and vigorous condition, a light mulch of a rich nature should be applied every six weeks. This will help to develop strong spots which are drier than others. These ought to be gone. carefully over previous to the general watering, so that the soil may all be equally wet. Keep the soil at the bottom of the bench from ever becoming dry. Keep a sharp lookout for red spider, and whenever it niiiie^rs rse.tj'e syringe on that spot at once to Keep jt from spreading. If this is strictly attended to we do not need to use a great deal of water to keep; it in subjection. 45 The Weekly Florists' Review. December 3, 1903.

This prevents an ac- funinUition of moisture in the house whicli, when it condenses on the foliage, is very harmful. When a long spell of cloudy weather is with us it is much safer to drop the temperature a few degrees so as to re- tard the growth as much as possible, as the wood produced under such condi- tions is seldom very robust, A careful study of these general rules, care in putting them in practice, the maintenance of a steady temperature suited to the different varieties and the attending conditions, should bring us over tlie dullest and shortest days with safety. Kibes. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Christmas Plants. Presuming that Howcring and foliage as well as berried plants arc going to lie a leading feature of our Christmas trade, there should be no delay in seeing that your stock in these lines is up to date in variety and quantity. If you are the only florist in a small town and ' ' monarch of all you suncy, your right there is none to dispute," you may nol have to keep much variety to please your patrons, but nowadays, in small cities -4is well as large ones, there is keen com- petition and lots of it, and the more costly your location and business ex- penses, the more need of keeping a first- class stock in every line of your busi- ness. We can remember wiring for Christmas stock, such as orange trees, about December 20, and received the an- swer, ' ' Sold out. ' ' Very few retailers even with a dozen houses at tlieir back can or do grow all the plants that are asked for at the holidays. Our patrons, and that includes the whole public, do like novelties. Perhaps we as a nation are not at all peculiar that way, yet I think we slightly are, and the love of novelties must be catered to. Of plants likely to be in favor this coming festive season, the azaleas ought to be just showing- color, and will be in fine order in three weeks, Poinsettias. Some florists would not consider the poinsettia an important plant, yet we do. If you have to buy them, buy small plants in pots and keep them in the pots until a few days before Christmas and then put a half dozen in an 8 or 9-inch pan, Xo matter how little you disturb the roots, they feel it and soon the yel- low leaves appear, so unless they were put into pans two weeks ago, delay it now until you offer them for sale. This reminds me of a little incident I once overheard in my friend, Jlr. Chris- tensen's office. It appears a lady cus- tomer had sent her maid for the fern dish which had been left a few days previously and finding it unfilled, so re- ported to "the Missus," and after wait- ing a few days the good lady arrived via carriage in person and as she bounced into the office she let out: "Why is mv fernery not tilled?" and then came forth the wisdom and diplomacy of the noble Dane, "Madam, I did not think you wanted the fernery till Saturday and we always put off filling them till the last moment. As they begin to die from the lime they are put into the dish, the later they are tided the longer you have thein in good condition." "Oh, I see! Ah! To be sure; but you will send it tomor- row, surely, won't youf Good after- Spider Web Scteen Design. noon." And there was peace and good will all around. Lorraine Begonias, Etc. The wonderful Begonia Luiraine is suri' to be in demand. Prail as this lit- tle gem looks, it travels well and I do hear occasionally of some people keep- ing it looking well in the living rooms. Even if it does drop its blossoms in a week 'or two, it has lasted longer than a Imiich of roses or carnations. There is something in me that whispers low but clearly that more and more will plants lie used for table decorations. All the art that our greatest floral artists can i-ommand can never put together a bunch, a vase or basket of flowers of any kind tliat will compare in beauty and grace to the growing plant, with its flowers :nid foliage. The cyclamen is always a good seller and its price within the reach of all. We made up baskets of cyclamen last year, seven or eight plants from 4-inch pots, and they sold well. Primula obconica is not a great essential, but it is a fine house plant and far outclasses the Chi- nese, lavge-flowcri'd ])rimulas in every way. Bulbous Stock. It is rather late to remind you of pans of lily of the valley and Roman hya- cinths, but both of these are just about as well made u]i the day they are sold, as any other way. Liliuni longiflorum, or rather the Ber- muda type, is sure to be wanted, not so much as a pl&nt as for church decora- tions. We found this year that 5 to 7- iiich bnlbs, potted as soon as received in July and kept in a frame till they were an inch or two above the soil and then kept in a rose house temperature came in, the earliest, just on December 1. So 70 degrees at night for the last two months would have brought them in sev- eral weeks earlier, but in the rose house temperature you can have a full crop by the holidays. Foliage Plants. In foliage plants I don 't think there is any doubt that the Boston fern will take the lead. What is more free and easy and beautiful and, withal, does so finely in the house, office or store? There is one in a high-toned crockery shop in our city, and it has been there three years, that for beauty of growth can't lie approached even by Win, K. Harris. Palms have sold slowly for a year or two past, but you must have a few in value from $1 to .'flO, Kentias, arecas and latanias are the kinds. Paudanus Veitchii sells well and is a most perfect |dant for the drawing room. Dracjena lerminalis has many friends'; its rich col- oring sells it and if we could give it a good character as a house plant more could be sold. Dracaena fragrans and the two fine varieties, Lindeni and Massan- geana, are good house plants and are well liked. Rubbers not over eighteen inches high are asked for, but the branchy plants sell much better. In mentioning the Boston fern I by no means wish to ignore the magnificent aristocrat, Piersoni, and the very graceful Anna Foster but they arc not quite common enough yet and where you have large plants of them they should be worth double the old Boston va- riety. Anna Foster is a particular]}- fine plant as a large specimen. Another fern, Cibotium Sehiedei is not only a most beautiful plant but thrives in the nujst uncongenial surroundings. A cheap hardv fern is Cvrtomium falcatum. riKCEMBEIi 3. 1003 The Weekly Florists^ Review. 49 Novelties. Now there is no iiovcltj- in any of the above. IVrliaps among the berried plants we can introduee one or two. Holly, which thirty years ago was an unknown article to a northern florist, is now picked and transported north by tlie train load and now wo have the European holly in Ijeautitiil pyramid trees in tubs. The Kuropcau holly, or at least the common jjreen species that is a native of the 7-!ritish Isles, grows naturally more erect than our southern holly, which, although 1 have not seen it growing is, I think, a rambling, s]>reading bush. The beau- tiful imjiorted hollies are expensive, but yon should have a pair or two. You are sure to have some customers who will -nap their fingers at expense if the eye is captivated. The Ardisia crenulata is the neatest of the small berried plants •md the berries hang on an indefinite time. The solanums are inexpensive and showy l>erried plants and have a Christ- mas look. Aucuba Japaoica. A phmt we are going to invest in to a limited extent is the berried aucuba. To those who have never visited temperate Europe. Aucuba Japonica is mostly a stranger. It is a common evergreen of the gardens of England and thrives in the little front yards in the smoke and dust of the largest cities, where no other tree or shrub will grow. As a boy I have pulled birds' nests out of aucuba bushes, Imt in all England, and perhaps Europe, the aucuba bore no berries. It ' was grown merely for its handsome, mot- tled yellow and green leaves. Why up to thirty years or so ago was the aucuba berryless .' Simply because the plant or plants brought from .Japan to Europe were of one sex and some thirty or thir- ty-five years ago some plants of the other sex were introduced and then gradually the aucubas of Europe bore berries, Avhieh added greatly to its value. As an ornamental evergreen, buy some and tell ycnir customers that a very cool room or hallway will do for them. They are a patient and long suffering plant and will put up with more dust and dirt, hot air and frost than any plant I can think of, I can remember one in a tub on a ve- randa where an Episcopal minister, every Saturday night, would rehearse his moi- row's sermon, and the poor plant lived on. Pandanus Saaderi. In conclusion, we hope you are well supplied with the leading staples of your , business, but if you have to buy, do it ( at once. In looking over this gossip, I meant to say when speaking of Pandanus Yeichlii that another year we will have with us in quantity that most beautiful plant, Pandainis Sanderi, It's just a little too expensive this year, although for snnsM'; City show, where it was named .nfter tlio veteran florist, Uncle John Thorpe. UEORGE Collins. LAPAGERIA. This gem of the greenhouse is by far too seldom seen in our collections, and very rarely indeed in commercial estab- lishments, although they are among the most beautiful and easily grown of all of our greenhouse climbers. They suc- ceed best when jdanted in a prepared border, although they can be grown in pots or tubs, and trained around a wire trellis, with a certain amount of suc- cess. When properly handled in this way and when in full liower they form one of the most fascinating sights of the showroom or parlor. They are. however, at their best when planted in a pi'e- pared border in the greenhouse and trained against a wall or over a wire trellis or hung from the roof of the house, as then their pendant and waxy flowers are more exposed to view. To attain success in the cultivation of this most beautiful flower it is es- sential that we select the most vigorous and healthy plants to begin with, as weakly plants are worthless, seldom if ever becoming vigorous, even under the most favorable conditions. . The com- post best suited for them is three parts peat to one of librous loam, with about one-sixth of the whole bulk of sand added. When laying down the bed or preparing the pots or tubs ample drain- age will have to be provided, as they re- quire large supplies of water when grow- ing. This has also to be accompanied by heavy syringing during the period of growth. The syringing must be stopped as soon as the blooms begin to open. ff grown in pots or tulis. they re- quire frequent mulching, osjiec-ially when new growth commences. This mulch should be composed of two parts dried cow manure finely pulverized, one part fibrous loam and one part nf peat and one other jiart composed of equal por- tions of leaf mold and sand, the whole to be thoroughly incorporated and ap- plied at intervals of six weeks to the depth of one inch. During the summer they require a cool temperature with a light shade. Their insect enemies are few and easily de- stroyed. Bed spider, being one of the most persistent, is easily kept in check by the syringe. Greenfly can be sub- dued by fumigation or by placing tobacco stems under or near the benches. Slugs and cutworms create a deal of havoc among the young shoots if allowed to have their way, especially when just emerging from the soil, but these can be easily destroyed by any of the arsenate IJoisons if properly applied. The varieties most usual! v grown with Conservatory at Charles Millang's New York Wholesale Store. satisfactory results are Lapageria rosea and L. rosea alba, although there are many varieties between these colors, both jileasing and interesting. By crossing L. rosea and L. rosea alba almost any shade of pink can be obtained, but these colors are variable. The colors of L. rosea, even, are not fijied and certain, as in a batch of cuttings from that variety we maj' obtain many shades. The usual method of propagation is by layers; that is, to plant a vigorous parent plant in a well prepared soil and peg down the runners. AVe can by this method obtain a great quantity of young plants, but many of them will prove to be of weak growth and useless so far as making good specimens. The mp.st interesting method of propa- gation is by seed, as by crossing the var- ieties we can obtain so many shades of color without changing the type, many of them during their first and second year of life greatly surpassing their parents, both in size of bloom and brilliancy of colorLng. They retain their health and vigor and maintain their flowering quali- ties if kept in a temperature not to exceed 55 degrees. Of course, during the hot spells of summer they must often exceed this, but a little ordinary judg- ment will help us along in this strait. RiBES. TIMELY TOPICS. Continually noting the items in the trade journals about this grower who will double his capacity next year, an- other who will cover ten acres, and many others who will erect several large hou.ses each, it has got to a point where it will i(M|uire serious thought as to the )irobablc outcome of all this additional building. To obseiTe the general condition of the market in its present stage, the increased output is plainly seen. There is no more :,nxiety on the part of the buyer as to not being able to get what he wants at any time of the year and standing or advance orders are becoming a thing of the past. The buyer no longer seeks the market, but the wholesaler is now seek- ing the buyer. The grower is -no longer besieged with messages from the com- mission man to make shipments, nor is it necessary to cut the stock before it is in a marketable condition. The good old davs when times of "stock scarce" iirevailed most of the year now seem reversed, excejit for an occasional spurt in demand, or sudden change in temperature to cause a tem- jiorary shortage, which still may have the tendency on some caught short in trying to fill an order, to cause them to immediately purchase material for an- other block of houses. To note in a re- cent issue the stateaient that one Chicago grower controls almost as much glass devoted to cut flowers as all the Philadel- ]iliia growers put together seems like a surprising statement, and yet that is a small proportion of the glass in what is called the middle west district. While all the building is going on by the wholesale grower, the dealer who has been dejiending on the wholesale market is doing likewise, thus continually cur- tailing the shipping territory- until it narrows down almost entirely around tlie liig growing centers. Then what? Com- mon stock or inferior grades have but little room on the market now, and arc the choicer blooms bringing a paying average? ^Novelties remain novelties hardly long enough to get the first cost out of them before they become common property. This looks like the cause of fiverproduction and the pressure brought to bear on the market by the immense amount of other stock thrown on the market daily in all competing lines. As- suming that there is a large increase in the consumption of flowers, and whv shouldn't there be, the volume of stock must go somewhere and many lots are disposed of below the cost of production ami prices are within the reach of all. There is not the same fluctuation in prices as in years gone by. They are mostly forced down by the supply rather than being advanced by demand. We are passing through an era of prosperity and it may be well to look ahead during these times and give some thought to President Burton "s warning at the last S. A. F. meeting. Incog.

I want to grow crtlceolavias and cine- rarias from stetl. I have the plants startoil now, with tlnce to four leaves. I have had no experience in the treat- ment of these plants. Will you please through your columns advise best soii, temperature ami method of growing these plants, ali-o gloxinia bulbs and oblige. W. L. iNotes on both of these cool greenhouse plants have many times appeared in the columns of the Eeview. They need al- most identical treatment. Sometimes seed of cineraria is sown in May or June to have them in bloom at the holi- days, but for the commercial man that is not desirable and sowings at the end of August or in early September will give you good iilants for JIarch and April. Xeither wants, during the winter mouths, a higher night temperature than 4.5 de- grees and the fullest light. Tliey should never be crowded or the foliage has no room to spread and be. perfe<-t, without- which neither of these plants would be worth bench room. The soil is not so particular a point. A fresh yellow loam with a fourth of leaf mold will do well for them. From the time they are shifted from 2 to 4-ineh pots don 't sift the soil ; use it rather coarse but firm. A fine sandy soil is .iust what they don 't like. Althougli both of these showy, plants nre considered beneatli the notice of many of our great aud illustrious specialists, to do them well needs not so much skill as constant care aud attention. If allowed to wilt through negkct of water, the leaves may be lost. If overwatei-ed, or rather if the water do<\s not jiass freely through the soil, the plants will go off dead beyond redemption, i'rom 2 to 4- inch and then to a 0-inch, the flowering pot, is about the shift they want. Their They ;ire now at rest, or should be, aud tlie subjeet can rest till a more season- able time. The seed of gloxinias is not sown till Kebrnary, but the bulbs are so inexpensive that it is better to buy those and start in February and March, of which I will have .something to say in due season, W. S. CALCEOLARIA AMPLEXICAULIS. After such an unfavorable season for bedding plants in general, it is most gratifying to see this charming old plant one mass of bloom. It has been quite a picture all through the summer, and will continue to flower until cut down b.v frost, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine. We have it planted in a larga group, well sheltered from the wind, and in a half-shady position, in good rich soil. The cuttings are taken at the same time as those of that old bedding vari- ety, Golden Gem-, aud inserted in sandy soil in a cold frame, covering the glass at nights when very keen frosts are ex- jiected. About the latter part of March these are transferred into a rough frame, and only covered up at night. By keep- ing the shoots pinched back nice bushy plants are obtained for planting into permanent quarters early in May. When the cuttings are rooted, if a few dozen are potted siugly into 5-inch and ()-ineli pots, placed in a cold frame till established, and then brought into the greenhouse, they will bloom in advance of those outside ami will be found most useful. The flowers of this calceolaria are a most pleasing shade of lemon, a shade not usually met with in any other plants. The rust does not seem to at- tack this, as it does some of the others, and especially Golden Gem. But we have been very free from rust this last two seasons, owing, I think, to planting in shadier places, also where the soil con- Greenhouses of Mueller Bros., St. Joseph, Mo. greatest enemy is the common green aphis.

Keview — Enclosed find a dollar for the Ee\iew another year. I wrote Eibes some time ago. for advice on roses: please thank him for his timely advice and words of encouragement. I followed his direc- tions and the plants responded righi away and have behaved splendidly since. 1 also thank you (this is Tlianksgiving IJay) for your courtesy in publishiug my query and the confidential way you treat- ed my correspondence. One article from the pen of Professors Eibes, Scott, Banr or Osborn is worth, to the man in trouble, a dozen subscriptions to your best of l)apers. W. G. N. Ed. Eeview — I am making a success of my business and it is largely due to tlic lielp I get from the Eeview. Witli me trade has not been so very good for the fall until this month, when it increased over 100 per cent. I benched my carna- tions in July and I do not think I evei had £i finer outlook for the winter. I originated a variety of tomatoes sevt n years ago, which I consider unusually fine. In a good season, very few ot them will go under a pound, and from that to two and one-half pounds. While not all perfectly smooth, they will aver- age 75 per cent smooth ones. This year from 125 vines we had all a family of eight could use, which was no small amount, sold $14.81 worth and canned seventy-one dozen three-pound cans. The crop would h^ve been much larger had they not blighted toward the close of the season. W. C. Scovell. I.oRAix, O. — F. J.

Orchids to the number of nearly 4,000 plants, collected in all parts of Amer- ica's new archipelago in the Pacific and valued by experts at more than .$30,- 000, were received at St. Louis a few days ago and are now in an Old Orchard greenhouse under the eye of John Heth- eriugton, recuperating from their .iour- ney of 7,000 miles over sea and land. These Philippine orchids will be in liloom when the World's Fair opens on April 30, next. At this writing, early in December, the plants are supposed to lie passing through the ' ' rainy season ' ' of the Philippines. They are growing and gaining strength to survive the "dry season" that will begin about the time the fair opens. Then the grcenhcnise which wUl be the orchid's home in tin- Philippine reservation of forty acres on the ex]iosition grounds, will be a -bower of tropic beauty. This wonderful lot of orchids, which was collected by Dr. Gustave Niederieiu, in various islands of the archipelago, has for its star a splendid specimen of the Phalffinopsis Sehilleriana. Thejdaut is worth $500. It is a prolific bloomer, as many as 174 flowers having been pro- duced in a single blooming period. Phal- amopsis Sehilleriana originated in the Philippine Islands, but is now exceed- ingly scarce in the Islands. Among the vandas the most attractive in the colleciion is the Vanda Sanderiana. It was originally discovered, in 18S1, on the Island of Mindanao, one of the Philippine group. Among the small flowering orchids in the World's Fair collection is the Sac- colabium guttatum. The flowers, indi- vidually small, compensate for any defi- ciency in size by the profusion in which they are produced. lu the numerous Decembek 3, 1903.

Vegetable Forcing. jSTORwooD Station, Pa.— D. W. Grouse has a fine crop of tomatoes just coming on. Elwood, Ind. — S. W. Blubaugh has built a greenhouse, 50x86, for forcing vegetables for local market. Chicago, Dec. 1. — Cucumbers, gen- eral run, 90 cents to $1 per doz.; fancy, $1.25 to $1.40. Lettuce, leaf, 20 to 30 cents ease. Mushrooms, 35 to 50 cents pound. Radishes, $1 to $1.25 per 100 bunches. MUSHROOMS. This ought to be one of the best pay- ing crops, providing they are properly handled and a first-class article is pro- duced. • We often hear complaints that certain products won't sell, but when we go to the root of the matter, nine times out of ten the fault is with the grower, who is trying to foist a second or third- class article on a first-class market, and I am satisfied that a great deal of com- plaint about mushrooms not selling is due to just such conditions. It is hardly to be expected that a local market can always be found for mushrooms, which may be classed as a rather high grade vegetable, but any one within reach of a town or city with a good middle class or high class population ought to be able to make this a paying crop. I have often been asked : ' ' Can mush- rooms be forced successfully exposed to light?" And I invariably reply that they can. The yield will be just as heavy as if grown in the dark, but grown under such exposure, although they are just as good, they would hardly sell on ;\uy market on account of their dark brown color, where those grown in the dark are white and clean looking in com- parison. A mushroom house with reg- ular benches and provision made for maintaining a temperature of from 55 to 60 degrees is undoubtedly the best, as it is easier to maintain the proper atmospheric conditions, but there is no reason why good mushrooms cannot be grown under greenhouse benches, if not too close to the hot water pipes, the dry- ing infiuenee of which would be detri- mental to the crop. If the bed can be made under the center bench of a house where the pipes are under the side benches only, and the proper tem- perature can be maintained, there should be no trouble in producing a good crop of mushrooms. The old custom of using all fresh manure and keeping it turned for eight or nine days, until the heat was pretty well worked out of it, is very seldom practiced now, all good growers recog- nizing the fact that by this method a large percentage of the ammonia must escape and that this ammonia is one of the principal ingredients that ought to be retained. The manure should be pro- cured as fresh and free from straw as possible and mixed w-hen received, with soil and old rotted manure. We have had \er\ satisfactory results with a mixture of one-half fresh manure and the other half well rotted manure and soil, rather more manure than soil being allowed. The whole is turned over twice to thor- oughly mix, and the bed made up without further delay. Opinions differ a good deal regarding the depth of the bed. Some make them as shallow as eight inches, while others make them as deep as fifteen inches. A deep bed is less liable to dry out and will continue to bear longer, but it is doubtful if the extra yield will pay for the extra ma- terial necessary to make a fifteen-inch bed. I think a depth of twelve inches is, all things considered, about best. W. S. Crotdon. NEW GLASS IN MISSOURL Mueller Brothers, of St. Joseph, Mo., have for some years been engaged in growing vegetables with no better facili- ties than are afforded by hot-beds, but last year they put up a fine range of four greenhouses, intending to force vege- tables for a season or two and work into cut flowers. They built on the Dietsch plan, the houses being 100 feet long by fourteen feet nine inches wide. There is continuous ventilation and the houses are high and airy, the gutters resting on iron posts seven feet six inches in the clear. Each house has two benches five feet six inches wide and two walk? twenty-one inches wide. The accompany- ing illustrations give an idea of the char- acter of the plant. WORLD'S FAIR LAWNS. The World's Fair lawns, in the sixty- nine acres comprising the agricultural section, are exhibits, and they have been as carefully planned as any of the other show spots in the outdoor section. Joseph H. Hadkinson, superintendent of outdoor planting, appreciates the value of the lawn in giving an artistic finish to his work, and the lawns, all of which were planted under his personal direc- tion, wUl be admired by millions of vis- itors during the fair. All along the east side of the great Palace of Agriculture a few months ago was a mass of yellow, sticky clay. A ravine, seventeen feet deep, was filled with clay brought from the top of a neighboring hill. This was smoothed, plowed and harrowed and a top dressing of good soil, nearly a foot thick, was spread over the clay. This was worked, pulverized and prepared for the seed. The seed selected was blue grass and rye grass, mixed in equal parts. The rye grass was first in evidence, but it has done the work that was required of it and has passed away. The rye grass comes up in six or seven days, and is a nurse crop for the blue grass. It grows taller and shields the blue grass from the sun. As it is not permitted to go to seed, it dies out and leaves the blue grass alone on the field. One could tell on an October morning in St. Louis why it is called "blue grass." After getting the ground into proper trim the seed was sown, broadcast by hand, one pound to each 100 square feet. The seed was covered with what Jlr. Hadkinson calls a "choppy" mo- tion. A gardener goes over the lawn with a rake, and instead of raking and rubbing the seed in, he swings it slight- ly and allows the teeth to enter the soil about an inch. When the rake is lifted the soil is turned under for about half 54 The Weekly Florists* Review. Decembeh 3, 1903. an inch. The pulverized soil must be treated to fasten the seed in the ground. On the comparatively level places, a heavy roller is used. On the terraces, and some of the World's Fair terraces incline at an angle as great as 30 de- grees, a "pounder" is used. This is a board a foot wide and a foot and a half long, fastened to a handle witli blocks added until it weighs about fif- teen pounds. The surface is "tamped" with this. When the earth is smoothed the final work is done. All summer a great pile of stable manure had lain in a heap in front of the garden. It was thoroughly decomposed. This was run through a soil pulverizer and sprinkled over the ground. The covering is slight, but is all that is needed. It keeps the sun from baking the soil and causes it to retain the moisture. There is one pest that has demolished many a lawn, and the World 's Fair land- scape gardeners had a short bout with it. This pest is the mole. These little fel- lows burrow a few inches under the sur- face of the ground and raise ridges in the lawn. The moles feed on the earth- worms and harm the roots of the grass only incidentally. But if the moles are not killed they will destroy the lawn. "Gus, " Mr. Hadkinson's foreman, watched Mr. Mole and studied him. The mole takes his meals regularly, morn- ing, noon and night. The ridges made by the mole must be beaten down, and watched. When the mole goes over the route again the ridge is again raised. Then the process is easy. Take a spade, drive it in the ground across the mole's route and behind him. He may be easily dug out and dispatched. In less than a month the moles were ban- ished from the agricultural section of the World's Fair. BOUVARDIA KING OF SCARLETS, Last autumn I contributed some notes, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine, on the origin of some bou vardias and their culture, giving at the same time a short selection of varie- ties. To this selection must now lie added King of the Scarlets, which is in every way a decided acquisition. It was first brought prominently before the public on December 9, 1902, when at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society it was shown in good condition by J. Robson, Bowden Nurseries, Al- trincham, and received an award of merit. The flowers of King of the Scarlets are larger than any other of the bright-colored varieties, particular- ly in the width of the lobes, while in color they are of a clear bright scarlet, with the tube almost white. Of rich- tinted forms, the vivid scarlet variety. President Cleveland, which was sent to England from the United States in the latter part of the 80 's, rapidly_ ad- vanced in popularity, and maintained its position as the best scarlet-flowered bouvardia till King of Scarlets put in an appearance. Both, however, are so beautiful, and so distinct, that there should be no question of one supersed- ing the other, as in most gardens a place might well be found for two such charming plants. While the variety, President Cleveland, had a long journey before it enriched our gardens, the new comer had a still longer one, as we are, I believe, indebted for this to our Aus- tralian cousins, it having been raised at Sydney, New South Wales. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Thanksgiving day and all of the past week the trade was good in all lines. The West End florists being busy with decorations and the down town florists with plenty of funeral work. The busi- ness done on Thanksgiving was big and from the expressions of most of the leading florists, it was ahead of last year's business. The weather was most beautiful, just cold enough to stimu- late the retail trade. According to the daily papers there is a big crop of de- butantes in society for this month and there will be quite a lot of receptions, which should help the cut-flower trade greatly. The sujply of stock during the past week was equal to the demand, with prices up on first grade stock. Chrys- anthemums are nearing their end; still NOTE The Editor is pleased when a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In the BEVIEW.

The demand for them has fallen off considerably since Thanksgiving and the buyers are looking more for other flowers, which is better for the trade at large. The market on cut roses is still somewhat heavy; that is, on the poorer grades, and enough of the fancy grades are in for the demand, but they seem to clean up pretty well. Beauties are still in ample supply. Select fanev stock commands $5 and $6 per dozen. Medium length has the best call, at $3 to .$4 per dozen. Shorts sell well and are cleaned up almost every day at $1 to $2 per dozen. The price on smal- ler roses is from $2 to $8 per 100. Brides and Maids are good on an aver- age. Meteors are coming with quite a number of bullheads. Carnot and Gold- en Gate Sell well. Perles are in little demand. Carnations are of good qual- ity and in demand. Fancy stock of Prosperity, Lawson and Wolcott brings $4 and $5 per 100. Joost, Daybreak, Crocker and Crane bring $2 and $3 per 100. Good Hill bring as high as $4. White is in big demand just now. Vio- lets are in good demand at $1 per 100, vdth only California in the market. Valley remains in moderate demand at $4 and $5 per 100. Romans and Paper Whites are more plentiful. Romans are rather sliort in stem and bring only $2; Paper Whites $3 and $4. No Har- risii yet, with callas scarce. The market is again well supplied with ferns and other greens. Asparagus is not overplentiful and in demand. Holly and green have made their ap- pearance and some of the florists have ordered ahead, for wreathing to be used for decorating down-town business houses in about ten days. The weather is favorable for plant delivering and the report is that house plants are mov- ing better. Trade in this line should be good from now on. The plants for Christmas trade at Schray 's, Sanders ', Beyer's and Windier 's are in fine shape, with plenty of everything for the holiday trade. Some good shipping orders are reported by our wholesale men and all three had a busy week. Various Notes. John Young and wife spent Thanks- giving week with their daughter in Chicago. James Young and sou were also in Chicago the past week, visiting- relations. J. Currie, of Currie Bros., Milwaukee. was a recent visitor. Mr. Currie was here looking after the interest of the Wisconsin building at the World's Fair. Wm. Adels, late with Mrs. M. M. Ay- ers, is now with F. H. Weber, at Boyle and Maryland avenues. Mrs. Wm. Ellison, of the Ellison Floral Co., on Olive street, reports business very satisfactory. The com- pany has moved into larger quarters next door to the old stand. George Waldbart made a grand show of chrysanthemums in his show window Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Mrs. M. M. Ayers reports a very busy week, with decorations, and the biggest Thanksgiving she ever had. Alex Siegel and Fred Foster spent a day in Chicago the past week, looking up stock for Thanksgiving trade. Jules Vacherot, chief gardener of Paris, is here to prepare the plans for the landscape work around the French pavilion at the World's Fair grounds. Don't forget the Florists' Club meet- ing next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Odd Fellows' building. Hall No. 2. An exhibition of roses anu car- nations is expected. Mr. Brown, tlie English landscape gardener, Jules Vach- erot, the French gardener, Messrs. Tay- lor and Hadkinson, of the horticultural department, and Dr. Wm.

Trade is very quiet this week, and great is the disappointment thereat, for everyone in the market had been hop- ing that business would continue at its accustomed gait after Thanksgiving. Beauties, ordinarily one of the most staple of products, are the weakest item in the list this week, particularly the extra lengths. All the big growers seemed to get good cuts on just before Thanksgiving and, with light demand, the long-stemmed stock has been mov- ing at rates, where a quantity could be used, probably lower t- an this mar- ket has ever before seen at this season of the year. Medium grades have held up fairly well. There is very little call for Maids and none too much for Brides; little good stocK of either va- riety is available. Chatenay, Liberty, Sunrise, Carnot and Meteor do a little better and are shown in much better quality. Carnations hold stiff, supplies being not in excess of demand and qual- ities good. Last week colored carna- tions were in the lead, some whites be- ing left on Thanksgiving day, but this week the greatest call has evidently been for funeral flowers. Chrysanthe- mums are about at the end of their sea- son. There are still quantities about but the quality is generally lacking. Violets were in sad overabundance at the end of last week, but receipts have fallen off and Tuesday saw the market strong, even with little demand. A few poinsettias are seen. It develops that the wholesale busi- ness for Thanksgiving was not so much below last year after all. The total of sales was fair. Beauties did not bring what they should and violets went to the bad Wednesday afternoon aua Thursday morning. Also the better grade of mums did not come up to last year's prices. These discrepancies ac- count for whatever shrinkage there was in sales. Christinas Near. Christmas is only three weeks away and there is already considerable specu- lation as to the supply and demand. Some growers fear that the Beauty crop will be off. Other roses are expected to be in good supply. Carnations seem likely to be scarce; in fact, there could hardly be too many. Better size up the situation and book your order early. One thing the growers need caution- ing about is the matter of holding back stock. Pickle if you must (but pickling is going out of fashion) but get your stuff onto the market by December 23. It is a pietty safe assertion that up to that day there will not be as much stock of shipping grade as could be used. The next day the out-of-town demand will be over and the local buyers will be in pos- s'ession of the market. This is a matter which has been spoken of so often that it would seem that nothing more need be said, but nevertheless, at Thanksgiving one big grower hoarded his cut Monday and Tuesday, when business was good, and brought in a great stock to meet a slack demand on Wednesday. Various Notes. Frederick Weber, of Weber Bros., who operate the Grossman place, has bought a piece of ground about 200x325 adjoining H. Bauske's place in Bow- manville and has ordered glass and ma- terial for a range of seven large houses, which he will push to completion as early as possible in the spring, as it is his intention to plant Beauties. The Florists' Club's third annual ball was held last evening at the drill hall in the Masonic Temple. John P. Eisch was the manager. E. E. Pieser says that with Beauties so plentiful, the late mums will be a forced sale. Glass is at a low level just now and there are those in the trade who look for a rise, as the new wage schedule is the highest on record and the big glass manufacturers are all pretty close to- gether. George W. Walther has a very neat store on Sixty-third street, in the best part of Englewood, and does a nice trade. An invitation to a chrysanthe- mum show, recently mailed to everyone for a mile around, helped to keep l;is place busy. L. Baumann & Co., capital $^0,000, has been incorporated to manufacture florists' and milliners' supplies, by F. H. Gelderman, Ludolph Baumann and G. A. Malmcrop. O. W. Frese, of George Reinberg's, says he looks for a big Beauty crop for Christmas. John Muno is handling very good Meteor. L. Coatsworth, of Benthey & Co., who was at New Castle last week, says all the stock down there is looking fine. Poehlmann Bros, are still cutting chrysanthemums in quantity. E. F. Winterson is suffering from poisoning in the face. N. Welter, at 4321 Western avenue, is preparing to erect three houses 20x200. Bassett & Washburn are cutting a heavy crop of fine Liberty, a good part of them very long-stemmed. C. H. Fisk is now devoting his entire attention to his west side retail store. Sinner Bros, are well pleased with the sales on folding Christmas bells; they say the leading retailers are tak- ing to the device. John Zeck, of J. A. Budlong's, has been suffering with a severe sore throat. Will Kyle, of Kennicott's, received a telegram on Tuesday notifying him of the severe injury of a brother-in-law in a railroad wreck in Nevada. Webster City, Ia.— James Follett has added 1,500 feet of glass for carnations. He reports trade good this season. Manchester, .Vt. — W. H. Graham has enlarged his greenhouse and is doing a good trade. Wareensburgh, N. Y.— S. E. Prosser has dismantled his greenhouse on Main street and transferred his stock to his new establishment on Horican avenue. Mitchell, S. D. — E. C. Newbury & Son have recently completed the remodeling of their range and have the place in Jine shape. The business was established nine years ago and trade is good this fall. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The volume of business in cut flowers has been very large since last week's re- port. An excellent Thanksgiving, closely followed by an unusually heavy Satur- day, consumed practically everything in the market. This week the first german in Baltimore on Monday night, for which many Bridesmaids, violets, Beauties and lilies of the valley were shipped from this city, was followed here by a week of teas, dinners, etc., which has kept the local retailers busy. The demand for Beauties has been very heavy. Chrysan- themums are on the wane, but some real- ly fine flowers of Chadwick, Maud Dean, Eaton and a few other sorts can be had. They sell readily at high prices. Carna- tions are not plentiful, but the quality is very fine, Lawson being particularly well done. Poinsettias and white lilac have made their appearance, the former at Dunn & Co. 's the latter at Edward Reid's . There is a little bouvardia to be had. George Carpenter has just be- gun sending in some choice pink and red sprays to W. J. Baker. A few Ro- mans have made their appearance but they will not be plentiful until another week. Greens of all kinds are very fine and can be had in quantity. Shipping trade is very heavy. Some Ideas in Plants. I remember with painful distinctness a certain morning spent some years ago among the storekeepers of our great city. I say spent, because it was an absolutely profitless morning at a very busy time. X had a house nearly filled with fine lilies and wanted to market them. Of course they went in due season, but not on that sad morning. Every storekeeper said that before ordering anything for Easter he must see what Harris and Craig had to offer; some said Craig and Harris, but they all mentioned these two and all declined to consider my stock until they had seen both these growers. This made me feel that Messrs. Harris and Craig or Craig and Harris pretty much owned the town, floriculturally speaking. I have since somewhat changed this opin- ion, now believing that, while they are very highly appreciated, especially at Easter, still the world is a big place and there is room for good stuff at nearly all seasons. Be that as it may, this morn- ing's lesson to a newspaper man means that the Review readers want to know what is going on at these growers' places from time to time. So lately the Review man, accompanied by a friend to cheer him on the way, trotted out to West Philadelphia to see what was doing at William K. Harris'. The proprietor was absent, but his place was ably filled by Mark B. Mills, who made time to show the visitors about and talked in a way that was an inspiration in itself. The chrysanthemums were pretty well cut out; Thanksgiving finished them prac- tically. There were just enough left to give an idea of what they had been. Our Dear Friend was there and beside it a single plant, with three beautiful orange flowers, a sport from it that should be heard from in a couple of years. There was a house and more of yellow English primroses, in full bud and bloom, in all sizes from 4 to 10 inch, the smaller pots, the larger pans. Many 56 The Weekly Florists' Review. Decembeu 3, 1903. specimens were hung from the purlins. This is a novelty here and very pleasing in appearance. The place is strong on berried plants for Christmas, fine specimens of holly, Jerusalem cherries, Aucuba Japoniea and Ardisia erenulata filling several houses. Then there are numbers of evergreens in handy little tubs, some of them very choice. The place is very strong on bulbs. Daffodils are already started; this is earlier than ever before noticed. Boston ferns flourish in quantity and beside it the coming N. exaltata Harrisli, a com- pact variety mentioned before. Genis- tas, azaleas and hydrangeas are inside in good condition for growing into flower. There is a large stock of foliage plants, arecas, kentias, ficus, Pandanus Veitchii, Dracffina terminalis, etc. Dwarf oranges and ponderosa lemons full of fruit are also specialties. Bulbs will be grown even more extensively than in the past. Variotis Notes. Eugene Weiss has a new grower in charge of his rose houses at Hatborough ; the cut, it is stated, is of very fine quality. Brides and Maids are special- ties. Frank Gaul, the enterprising manager of the Century Flower Shop, has been pushing business in great shape of late. The ~ election of Alfred Burton as a director at the Flower Market has proved a popular choice. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are experienc- ing a heavy demand for Christmas sup- plies. Immortelle wreaths and Christ- mas bells appear to be favorites. S. S. Pennock is receiving some choice fancy carnations from Ehode Island. He keeps his brother busy with telephonic orders for valley. M. Eice & Co. state that their business has increased enormously over past sea- sons. They are working like beavers to get their orders out in time. Leo Niessen had some good orders for out of town this week. Pennock Bros, had a handsome Thanks- giving window decoration, using wheat, emblem of har\est. Herman Sehoenfeld had some nice or- ders this week. Evidently his new store is popular. Phil. NEW YORK. The Market. The market has made a good recovery after a long illness, which looked at one time as though it might result fatally. It was the sickest patient in November the wholesale section can remember. The "oldest inhabitant" never saw anything like it. But it lifts its head again, and its appetite has improved so that it be- gins to sit up and take notice. It even became aggressive Saturday, when Beau- ties in some cases touched 50 cents each and Maids and Brides 15 cents each and violets $2 per 100. It was like old times and with proper care there is no need of another retrogression before the rob- ins nest again. Carnations, with the spe- cial at $6 per 100 and the novelties at $S per 100 were "in the running" and chrysanthemums are growing scarce and more valuable every day. Business in the supply line is already phenomenal. Everything looks cheerful, even the stock market, that great indicator of metro- poUtan floricultural prosperity. Various Notes. Friday of this week the dinner to Gen, Corbin will take place, under the deco- rative supervision of Thomas Young, Jr. The red, vs-hite and blue effect on the tables will require large quantities of Meteor, Kaiserin and violets. At David Clarke's Sons, on Broadway, the immense floor space and basement seem none too large for the display of stock in preparation for the holiday trade. The windows are already gay with cyclamen, heather and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. Dreer's new pan- danus seems to be a great favorite here. A light basement is utilized as a con- servatory. An average of nearly a wed- jincr a day indicates the trend of trade. The novelty of Pompaeian jardinieres and baskets at the Ansonia store of War- rendorff is much in evidence. Several (it the Broadway bon ton stores will handle this original conception. These Ere the days of novelties, and some at- tractive creations are ready for their (I. 'but as Christmas approaches. Hanft Bros., of Madison avenue, had a large wedding at the Savoy, November •25, the Schumacher-Harbhold nuptials. Ijttcen tables were handsomely deco- rated with white roses and chrysanthe- mums.

Stumpp made a splendid dec- ovation at the Holmes-Crimmons wed- ding, on last Wednesday, one of the most elaborate of the year. An epidemic of bronchial troubles seems to have full sway in the whole- sale district, some of the very best talk- ers scarcely speaking above a whisper. W. Ghormley has been having a siege with his old rheumatic enemy, but is again on deck, none the worse for a ten davs' encounter. Geo. F. Kruse, of GreenviUe, N. J., <52 vears of age, was buried on Monday. He ' was highly respected and his be- reaved family is tendered the sympathy of the trade. Mr. Horan handled the stock he shipped to the New York mar- ket. On Saturday one of the best known aardcners of 'the east, George Cottam, Toined the sUent majority. Few men m their time were more popular, and many of his old-time friends attended the fu- neral services at St. Andrew's church, Y'onkers, on Tuesday evening. He was a member of the New York Florists' Club. Carl Jurgens, Jr., of Newport, was m the city on Monday. The new Science church, the grandest church edifice in America, built at a cost of $1,185,000, was dedicated on Sun- day. The decorations were most beauti- ful and every room showed evidence of the florists' art. The grounds around the church were completed in the sum- mer and made beautiful by Wadley & Smythe. The Academy of Music, Brooklyn, was destroyed by fire on Monday, entaiUng a loss of nearly a mUlion dollars. A great dinner to Senator McCanen was to have been given there in the evening. John Wier & Son had a great quantity of palms and dozens of cases of wild smi- lax already installed when the sudden- ness of the conflagration swept every- thing away. A force of twenty men and women from Mr. Wier's were in the building and barely escaped, thanks the "uidance of John Wier, Jr., whose knowledge of the exits enabled him to pilot the frightened people to safety. John Young is handling a large num- ber of orchids and seems to always have an abundant supply. On Monday he shipped 200 sprays of oncidiums to one house in Philadelphia. His window is biiiliant with a sample bank of Wards' Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, of which he expects to handle a large quantity for Christmas. C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens, has now the carnation that has so long been sought for. On Saturday he sent to John Young twelve blooms of his scar- let seedling and it created a sensation in Twenty-eighth street. All the buyers who saw it declared it to be the best scarlet carnation that has ever been introduced, ehas. Thorley bought these twelve flow- ers at once 'for 50 cents each and de- clared it to be "the finest carnation he had ever seen." Mr. Young has al- ready several offers from prominent re- tailers who desire to control the blooms of this gem. Mr. Ward is certainly to be congratulated on producing this mag- nificent flower and a brilliant future for it is assured. For size, fragrance, strength and beauty it is par excellence. I notice that John Birnie has received credit for skill in disposing of plants at auction in the absence of Mr. Elliott, who was "serving his country," and while I am conscious of Mr. Birnie 's abil- ity to accomplish anything he undertakes, it" was John Bemis to whom credit is due. Kindly correct, as I want to make it safe to attend the next meeting of the Florists' Club on Monday, December 14, and John Birnie will be there. This meeting is one of special interest. The new officers will be elected. The exhibit of flowers will include some splendid novelties and the old year will receive fitting farewells in speech and song and "the cup that cheers." That should insure a fine attendance. The breath of the north woods will soon dominate the atmosphere on the river front, where millions of Christmas trees will usher in the festive holiday season. Next week will see West street a forest of evergreens. -■ Dimmock's address is now 31 Barclay street, with Suzuki & lida. C. W.

Thanksgiving trade was good and came up to all expectations with the store men, but the growers and retail tlorists who have stands outdoois complain and say business was not good. The weather, which was cold but very pleasant, had a bad effect on business with the side- walk merchants. Summing up the gen- eral amount of business, I be- lieve all will agree that busi- ness is gradually increasing and we are not feeling the depression in our stock market as much as we expected. Busi- ness is ahead, so far this season, with the corresponding time of last year. The majority of flowers received last week were chrysanthemums. The whole- sale places were loaded down with them : every grower had plenty and all seemed to ship at one time. Nevertheless the queen of autumn held its own and on Thursday morning the wholesalers were cleaned up very nicely. The shortage of supply in carnations and roses stimu- lated a demand for mums, which were sold at reasonable prices, ranging from $6 to $15 per 100. Some of the fancy brought $20 and $25. Carnations were scarce and not nearly enough to supply the demand. Eoses were also short in supply, especially Brides. Quantities of American Beau- ties arrived Wednesday, of which the quality was extra fine, Isut the demand was limited. A fine lot of longiflorum lilies of the gigantic type are now in the market and meet with good sale. The new additions are baby primroses, Eoman hyacinths. Paper White narcissi. sweet peas, candytuft, sweet alyssum and stevia. Violets both double and single varie- ties are now to be had in unlimited quan- tities. The demand for chrysanthemums since Thanksgiving has fallen off very noticeably and their existence after that day is not very desirable. Various Items. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is show- ing some very choice boxwood sprays. Mr. Langhans reports a big demand for this pretty green, which is such an indis- pensable article at Christmas. Ben Elliott is cutting fine Paper White narcissi. Charles Koenig, of the Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co., reports that the stock at Bakerstown is in fine condition and the prospect for a good cut for Christ- mas. C. T. Siebert has a new delivery wagon. Wm. Loew, our local green goods man, lost $400 worth of his goods by fire. His loss is fully covered by insurance. It is just one year since John Herron, late assistant superintendent of Alle- gheny parks and a man known to all and respected by all local florists, was carried to his last long sleep. The occa- sion was fittingly remembered by one of his former associates in the park by de- positing a wreath of flowers upon his grave. May his memory be long kept green. The craft also extend their heartfelt sympathy to Frank Sehoen, who lost his wife November 27. Visitors: George L.

The volume of trade done during Thanksgiving week was about the same as last year, and prices ruled much the same. The supply of roses was good and the quality excellent. Beauties were fine but rather scarce. Carnations fell far short of the demand, the crops being a good two weeks behind. Most of the growers are evidently reserving their best efforts for the Christmas hol- idays. Violets were good but not over- plentiful. Of green, such as smilax, as- paragus, adiantum, etc., there was an abundance. Mums were nearly past but anything fresh sold readily at good prices, especially in pot pjants. The prices ruled somewhat as fol- lows: Beantles, wholesale. $1.50 to $4 per doz. Beauties, retail, $2 to $6 per doz. Teas, wholesale. .$8 to $7 per 100. Teas, retail. $1 to $1.50 per doz. Carnations, wholesale. $2 to $4 per 100. Carnations, retail, 60c. 75c and $1 per doz. Violets, wholesale, $1.50 per 100. Violets, retail. 25e per doz. Mums, wholesale, $2 to $4 per 100. Mums, retail, BOc to $1 per doz. News Notes. The Dunkley Floral Co. reports a trade that compares favorably .dth that of last year, selling out clean on roses anu carnations. G. Van Bochove & Bro. are well satis- fied with the trade done. They, like the rest, were short on carnations, the quality being excellent, their fancies retailing easily at $1 per dozen. For the convenience of their city customers and t» accommodate their increasing trade, they have opened a store in the business part of the city, which they have thoroughly equipped with up-to- date improvements, including the new- est pattern of refrigerator, telephone, etc. In the basement they are building a commodious cool room on the most approved principles. Their opening dis- play was very showy, the arrangements being very tasteful. Keports from the east and north sides are equally good. R. seng roots to experiment with, he will probably receive information enough to pay him for the money expended, but ho" should not be disappointed if he re- ceives no financial returns from his in- vestment, and he should charge up the money spent as tuition for his educa- tion. Let the other fellow make the profit on ginseng. L. A. Cunton. _ Director Storrs Agricultural Experi- ment Station. PROPAGATING THE POTATO. Nothing but praise and that of the very highest is forthcoming for this ad- mirable potato, Northern Star, says a writer in the Gardener's Chronicle. Whether or not it will retain the high character formed of it is doubtful when we consider the means taken to propa- gate it. Many tons will be sold this season, which will be the produce of propagation by cuttings, and althoiigh probably the crop so produced will give satisfaction to the grower this season, I maintain and from experience state that this system is wrong, and can only have one ending — rapid degeneracy. Referring to this method Mr. Findlay says: "That everything possible should be done to put a stop to this pernicious innovation." Surely a warning like this from such an expert will doubtless decide many purchasers to ask for _?. guarantee, when procuring seed of this fine variety, that the crop was grown from tubers and not from cuttings.

At the present time many of the ag- ricultural papers of the country are ad- vertising and recommending that farm- ers grow ginseng, and those who have ginseng seed or roots for sale are send- ing their circulars broadcast over the land, telling of the wonderful profits which are to be secured by all who grow ginseng. While we do not wish to in any way injure the business of anv one, yet we do wish to warn the farm- ers of Connecticut against investing heavily in ginseng. Without doubt some few have made money on ginseng, but for one man who has made money, one hundred have lost all the monev they have put into it.

Thauksgiviiig trade was fair in all lines, with plenty of all kinds of flow- ers to fill the orders. Chrysanthemums, as usual, had first place, and many grand flowers were seen in the down-towTi stores. Carnations seemed to have a better call than roses, and the first part of the week were very scarce, but on Wednesday most orders for them were filled satisfactorily. Roses, with most growers, were off crop, and also off colo.', and not as good as they might have been. Prices advanced on Tuesday and are still held at $3 -to $8 for roses, $2 to $4 for carnations, 75 cents to $1.50 for violets, and $8 to $20 for chrysanthe- mums. Some very nice Beauties were offered at from $1 to $5 per dozen, ac- cording to quality. Smith & Fetters, Wagner, Eadie, Gas- ser, Westman & Getz and the Grant-Wil- son Company all had elaborate and ver}- attractive window decorations, and all report a good trade. The growers who retail at the greenhouses were well sat- isfied with the business done, while the market people did not fare quite so well, owing to the stormy weather. Some very nice Paper White narcissi were seen last week at the P. R. Williams Co. s store. Thej' were grown by Mr. Braund, who forces a large quantity of bulb stock each year. H. E. Ca!rleton, of Willoughby, is send- ing in some very nice violets, and his dagger fern is fine. The weather for the past week h;is been cold and cloudy, with lots of snow and good sleighing on Thanksgiving day, but it has made quite a hole in the coal pile, as it has been steady firing night and day.

HARTFORD, CONN. Thanksgiving trade cleaned up every- thing except chrysanthemums, which held out through it all. The cold snap has stiifened up the price on carnations and, Tvith the many receptions taking place, trade in general has assumed a more healthy tone. A number of down-town stores, after a brief existence, have closed, leaving the field to the old guard, Coombs, Spear, WeJch, McClunie and ilunsell. The South End Greenhouses, formerly run by W. A. Power, have been re- opened by a son of J. G. D. Newton, of the Park Street Greenhouses. John Coombs made liberal use of paint last summer, making his rose houses look like new. A look over his store shows everything in shape and from the stock of paper boxes, a heavy trade is anticipated. Genial Joe McManus, at Spear's, is authority on the, correct thing in color, style, make-up, etc. "Yes, madam, this is the very latest and highly ex- clusive." So it goes, as there is n appeal from Joe's decision. A visit to Mr. Welch's place found everything span clean, although it was learned that he was at home sick. L. A. Clinton, Director of the Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station, this state, has called attention to the decep- tive character of much of the literature on ginseng culture. The article strikes at tha root of a matter that has long seemed to need scientific investigation. O. CouiiD not keep house without The Ee- viEW. — E. E. Allen, Blairsville, Pa.

There was all kinds of stock, even car- nations coming in much larger quanti- ties than was anticipated. But the ma- jority of the retailers say that business was not what it might have been. There was not much call for high grade stock. Medium mums and ordinary roses and carnations sold best. The flower market was loaded with cheap flowers of all kinds and the general re- port is that trade was poor. Since Thanksgiving the demand has dropped off a great deal and business is only fair. Chrysanthemums of all kinds are scarce, as many growers nave cut out their entire stock and others have but a few late ones left. Carna- tions are scarce and prices rule high. Roses are about equal to the uemand. American Beauties are plentiful. Vio- lets have been doing fine all this sea- son, but now the demand for them is light. There is a good demand for val- ley and some fin© stock is to be had. A few narcissi are seen now and then and they sell readily at $4 per 100. Notes. Chas. Jones, of the Walnut Hills Floral Bazaar, had the most elaboi.1,9 wedding decoration that has been seen in this city for many years. White chrysanthemums were the main flowers used, with great quantities of wild smilax and many large decorative plants. Ben George is raising some whiskers in true English style. Ben is an Enp'- lishman by birth and now, for the first time, he is showing his ability to culti- vate the aistinctly English facial adornment. Theo. Boek was a visitor and ap- peared none the worse for his illness following the Indianapolis show. The next show to be given by the Florists' Society will be devoted al- most exclusivelv to roses and will be held Saturday, ' February 18. Besides the regular premium list, the silver and bronze medals of the S. A. F. will also be competed for. C. J. Ohmer. DES MOINES, lA. ^ Jottings About Town. We took a ten minute layoff the other day at J. F. Marshall's and found aim and his men staking and tying up carnations and, incidentally, disbud- ding. i±is stock is looking good, some fine Lawson, good Crane and splendid McGowan. He still holds to old Lizzie because he can take more dollars from the same amount of space than witii anything he has found yet. And when other growers who have thrown it out see his, they say: "I would throw out some of my Wbite Cloud and Hill and put in MoGowan if I could grow them as you do." He also has some re- markably fine seedlings now in their second and third year. We next stopped at Julius Ledig's, about one and one-half miles farther west. Here we found him, as usual, doing two men's work. His stock is looking well for the time planted. He moved his houses from the flooded .dis- trict the past summer and has a much better location now. He has three houses, I think, 16x100, 18x100 and 20x100. We then ealleid at a new florist's store at Seventh and Locust streets, where Miss Lillian Anderson is prepared to furnish cut flowers and floral emblems. We wish her success. Then we dropped in at the green- houses owned by A. Anderson, at Twenty-second and University avenue. He has leased his place to a couple of young men. The firm name is Lindgren & Lund. The boys are practical men and their roses show it. Here we saw some fine Bride, Ivory and Maid. Their chrysanthemums were extra fine and we saw some Merry Christmas that are good. They are carrying a general as- sprtment of stock, besides a house of roses and one of carnations. Their palm house is looking good and ferns also, including Piersoni and Anna Fos- ter. They are building another house 15x116. We next stopped at Charles Brandt- man's. He has his new place looking well. His stock is in splendid condi- tion. He grows an assortment of stock, also Bride, Golden Gate, Maid and Wootton roses and has planted quite a lot of bulbous stock. Charles is cer- tainly improving his opportunities. We had expected to call on John Lambert, and have him go with us to town and have a game at the bowling allej', but our ten minutes were up. J. T. D. F. OMAHA. The trade for Thanksgiving week was all we could ask. The mums were cleaned out — and at good prices. Other stock is also first-class, roses particu- larly having made a wonderful im- provement in the past two weeks. So- cial activity indicates a continuation of brisk trade and with fair weather there will be no halt from this section. The branch store of A. Donaghue will be ready for occuiiancy this week.

Seager, Rochester, N.Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. The twenty-eighth annual convention will be held at Atlanta. Ga., June, 1904. Zanesfield, 0. — John Kinney, son of Israel Kinney, the nurseryman, died November 20 aged 25 years. CONSTANTIA, N. y. — Barnes & Koyce have sliipped nineteen cars of moss to the nurseries at Rochester, Newark and other towns. It is reported that C. "W. AVard has the only planting of jieonies on the St. Louis World's Fair grounds. His stock was planted last spring. John C. Shaw, of the Rochester Nurs- ery Co., Rochester, N. Y.,' has the sym- pathy of the trade in the loss of his wife, who died November 27. The forty-eighth annual convention of the Illinois State Horticultural Society will be held at Champaign, December 16 to IS, with many nurserymen in attend- ance. The fourteenth annual banquet to the gardeners of the Missouri Botanical Gar- den, St. Louis, and invited florists, nur- serymen and market gardeners will be held December 11. Of shipments aggregating 10,000 fruit trees sent by outside firms to nursery- men at Taeoma, Wash, and vicinity, but 350 were rejected because of infection, which Inspector T. A. Warnock says is a new record for cleanliness. The pin oak, Quercus palustris, is slowly coming into its own; it is to be more largely used for street planting be- cause of its many good qualities. There is a general opinion that it is a tree of slow growth, but this only applies to re- cently transplanted stock; after a year or two they will compare favorably in growth with any of the better class of shade trees. Another park is contemplated for New York, of 4,000 acres, three times larger than the largest park within the city and five times the size of Central park. The land is on Staten island, reaching from the beach to the highlands in the center of the island and commanding a glori- ous view of the city and the sea.

The Kew Belladonna. — The super- iority of this form of Amaryllis Bella- donna over the other two, viz., the type and that known as blanda, may now be seen at Kew, where all three are flower- ing in the border against the south wall of the orchid house. There are twelve flowers open on one scape of the Kew variety, whereas on the others not more than live can be found. The flowers are larger and the color a' richer shade of rosy-crimson than in any other Belladon- na. The origin of this fine plant is doubtful. It is supposed to be the result of a cross between Brunsvigia Josephinse and a Belladonna lily; but Mr. Baker, after carefully examining the plant, was of opinion that it was nothing more than an exceptionall}' fine variety of A. Bella- donna. The cross between these two has since been carefully made at Kew, and the progeny will soon be old enough to flower; we shall then see if there is any- thing in the story of the origin of the Kew Belladonna. It is certain, at any rate, that this cross can be made. Ipomoea Eubro-coerulea. — This love- ly convolvulus is sometimes seen in hot- houses, but rarely in the open ground. Being a native of southern Mexico, it requires to be started in a warm tem- perature; but when the plants have at- tained a height of eighteen inches to two feet they may well be used for the deco- ration of the conservatory, or even plant- ed against a sunny wall in the open. There are over 300 species of ipomoeas, the majority of which are not in cultiva- tion, but none exceeds in beauty the sub- ject of this note. The large flowers, from three inches to four inches in diame- ter, are of a lovely pale-blue tint, and are rivaled in hue by no other plant in the open garden. The plant is an an- nual, but will continue to flower under glass protection, where sufficient heat is afforded, until December or January. In the open its season of beauty is naturally of shorter duration; but there is no rea- son why it should not be used to orna- ment warm walls through August and September. The present summer has been exceptionally wet, dull and windy, yet for the past five weeks this species has afforded a charming picture on a south wall, where its twining growths ascend perpendicular wires to a height of four feet, and charm beholders with numbers of pale-blue flowers. The plants are put out in rich and porous soil in mid-July, when the first flower-buds are just formed. They are grown singly in 4%- inch pots, and care should be taken not to disturb the ball in planting. Few are aware what beauty they miss by not em- ploying this lovely annual convolvulus for affording color to southern walls with its clear blue flowers in late summer and early autumn. KNIPHOFIA RUFA. Several species of the red hot poker plant have been introduced from South Africa recently, including that under notice, which hails from the Orange Kiver Colony. I should not recommend it for those who believe only in big heads, such as are produced by the common K. aloides, but it nevertheless has a beauty of its own, and bears its stems much more gracefully than the heavy-headed ones, says a writer in the Gardening World. The spikes vary from two and one-half feet to three feet in height, and bear a raceme of flowers rather sparsely placed over the stem, so as to form a sort of open spike. These flowers arc dusky red at first, but they change after expansion to a clear bright yellow, except the short lobes at the mouth, which are nearly white. The three-edged leaves are narrower than those of the common species, and of a light glaucous green. It is well worthy of cultivation for late summer and early autumn effect. PANDANUS VEITCHII. To have well colored plants of this useful stove subject it is necessary to keep up a stock of young plants. As a rule, when they become old they lose the variegation which is their chief characteristic, says the Gardening World. Those that have become green or too large to be of service may now be destroyed, and the highly colored suckers pulled off from the base, tak- ing pains to retain roots where possible. Insert these singly in small pots; a suitable compost consists of three-fifths good friable loam to one each of peat and leaf-soil, adding some nodules of charcoal, silver sand, a little bone-meal, and a handful of lime. Plunge in a frame or propagating pit, and when well rooted place on a light shelf and grow on gently all the winter. No re- potting should be performed until the following February, when they may be shifted on into a size larger pot and grown on in heat freely. A fruitful source of green foliage may be attrib- uted in great measure to over-potting and over-watering. Pewahkee, Wis. — iFrank SchoU will embark in the greenhouse business on Ormsby street, this town affording a good opening for such an enterprise.

The season will soon be at hand when large shipments of trees and shrubs will be received through the San Francisco custom house from Japan. The taste of the public has undergone somewhat of a change in the past ten years regarding Japanese stock, and such articles as fancy leaved maples, cedars, single camellias, junipers and azaleas are no longer in great demand at fancy prices in this sec- tion of the country. We depend upon Japan, however, for cheap camellias, rhapis, cyeas, aspidistras, sword-ferns, fern baskets and several varieties ot hardy palms. Before laws regarding scale bugs and injurious insects were so strictly en- forced as they are at present it was al- =THE AMERICAN= CARNATION HOW TO GROW IT. FULLY ILLUSTRATED. By C. W. WARD.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 77 most impossible to get anything that was not infested with some sort of a bug. It took a long time to convince the Japanese nurserymen that they had to keep their stock clean, and many con- signments were burned by order of the local inspectors before we were able to get stock in good condition. The Japanese camellias have to a great extent superseded the European varieties. Although they do not have such a variety of shades, especially in the light colors, many of them are very beautiful and succeed very well as garden plants when the situation they are planted in suits them. All they require is heavy soil, good drainage and plenty of water in the summer season. Many people try to grow them as pot plants, but unless they are watched very carefully they do not thrive well. Plants can be landed in San Francisco, IS to 24 inches high, full of flower buds, in assorted colors, at from $20 to $2.5 per hundred. Japanese azaleas are not to be com- pared with Azalea indiea, and although the single white varieties are very fine and very hardy the other colors are not so desirable. Aspidistras are grown in the open ground in Japan very largely and are sold by the leaf instead of ac- cording to the size of the clump. It is almost impossible to have them delivered here so that the leaves will be perfect enough to make a salable plant when potted and it is generally necessary to keep them over a year before they are really good. Cycas revoluta is perfectly hardy here and if it was not of such slow growth it would make an admirable garden palm, but it is handled principally in pots and is not so hardy as a kentia, that is it will not stand as much rough usage. The rhapis is also hardy and succeeds well with us in sheltered situations. It is of very slow growth but large specimens are very eifective. The livistona is a very desirable palm and perfectly hardy, as are also several varieties of chamaerops. We have acclimated most of the desirable varieties of Japanese bamboos and we find that they do as well here as they do in the native climate. Tree peonies are very beautiful but not very satisfactory as garden plants. Fern baskets have not sold well for sev- eral years, although at one time they were in great demand. Japanese decid- uous magnolias do not sell well and of late years they have been sending us large quantities of grafted Magnolia grandiflora — the most popular variety here. G- SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. I am inclined to think that business was not as good during Thanksgivin week this year as it was in the corre- sponding week a year ago. We have been having beautiful, bright days for the past week and this, coupled with warm nights, has brought into market an abundance of flowers, and prices were low. Violets seem to be scarce; in fact, they are the only flower that was not plentiful. We had plenty of violets last year at this time, but they seem to be slow in blooming this sea- son, and $1.25 per dozen bunches was the ruling price. Long-stemmed .Amer- ican Beauties were in scant supply but other varieties of roses were plentiful enough and of very good quality.

The Thanksgiving trade was fairly satisfactory and hold its own, with a slight gain over last year, which was a record maker for that day. Good chrys- anthemums sold well and at fair prices. Beauty roses were also good property, with a fair demand for common roses, carnations and violets. Good chrysan- themum plants also sold well. There was not much advance in prices on cut flowers and indications are that the buy- ers on this day expect to get a good deal for their money. Notes. F. Seuchenmeister has resigned his position as park superintendent, giving as Ids reason that he needed all his time for his own business in his green- houses in Riverside. His strong point this year is carnations. C. A. Rose put a new roof on his green- house this fall and has added a nice wall case to his store on Main street. C. P. Mueller is tending strictly to business, with a good lot of carnations and general stock. Mr. Mueller, so it is reported, contemplates extensive changes and additions the coming summer. The Herscy Greenhouses, of the North End, were "in it" this season with some good mums and say that it pays to grow good stock. Harry L. Hunt & Co. is the sign in the window of a new store on one of the best corners in the city, sharing the room with the United States Express Com- pany. Mr. Hunt has been connected with the trade in Wichita for more than fifteen years and for the last four years has carried on a business at his own greenhouses near College Hill. W. H. Gulp & Co. find their new loca- tion on Market street, to which they moved a year ago, very satisfactory, but would respectfully remark that it is no fun to move a greenhouse plant, even if it is only across the alley. They had a good lot of chrysanthemums this sea- son, having probably the most shapely, even sized, salable plants ever grown in Wichita. Mr. Gulp has built himself a new modern ten-room residence, into which he has moved latelv. UxiONTOWN, Pa. — Mrs. Sarah A. Bar- ton died November 27 at the advanced age of 81 years.

HENRY A. DREER, Philadelphia, Penna. 80 The Weekly Florists' Review. December 3, 1903. GRAND RAPIDS. The Market. Thanksgiving was notable in some re- spects. A week in advance of the day itself prices stiffened, enough flowers could hardly be obtained to supply re- tail trade and a steady, heavy shipping demand, that was better than last year. The Saturday preceding shippers bought up what stock was available at home, and one firm is known to have had nearly 1,500 carnations shipped in from Chicago and had not a scrap left at night. The market is now as active as could be de- sired. Eoses are about equal to the demand but carnations are scarce, especially red, white being the easiest to obtain. Ameri- ican Beauties are scarce. Chrysanthemums are about over and we heave a sigh of relief and make a memorandum of the varieties we must grow for next season. Violets are good and in fair supply. As a whole, business was about the same in volume as last year. Prices as follows : Kosfes, $1 to $1.50 per doz. ; A. B.'s, $2 to $4 per doz. ; carnations, 50 to 75 cents per doz. Some of the small greenhouses were retailing carnations at 35 cents. The weather was moderately cold and fine and retail trade in harmony with it. Notes.

With Christmas only two weeks awaj', no time is to be lost in preparing stock for the great rush which is sure to come. It is necessary to plan ahead, for supplies of such stock as is most in demand for Christmas gifts is not to be picked up and thrown together on Christmas eve, when it comes time to fill your orders. With plant arrange- ments, hollj' wreaths, etc., it is possible to work up a great deal of the stock several da3-s in advance of delivery, and it is a good plan to have some of the arrangements ready for exhibition in the store a couple of weeks in ad- vance of the holiday; it will aid ma- terially in booking advance orders, which is a great help, for nearly al- ways the last couple of days bring more customers than can be waited on satisfactorily. By all means get your orders as early as possible; large retail- ers who have tried it find it pays to mail to customers a neatly printed card pointing out the advantages of buying before the rush. One of the items for which there is always sale if offered, is the well made wreath, not the common, plain immor- telle wreath, but such a one as that shown in the accompanying illustration. It is made of red immortelles, to be sure, but the addition of the broad crimson ribbon, the dried sumach flow- ers, the bitter-sweet berries and the Hartford fern is what gives it the win- ning touch. Many variations of this wreath may be devised with a little thought and ingenuity. Of course, the plain holly wreath is one of the indispensable articles. You may buy them or make them; probably most do the latter. Holly is fairly well berried this year, but it is usually the case that at least part of the stock is found none too well furnished in this respect. Buy a case of the red Christ- mas berries and supply the deficiency, as shown in one of the accompanying illustrations. Furthermore, the red win- ter berries and a few holly leaves work up into a very popular dinner table center piece. Add a bow of holly red ribbon to the wreath and it will attract many who would think it too plain oth- erwise. Nearly every retailer who has what can be called a first-class trade finds Begonia Gloire de Lorraine the Christ- mas plant par excellence. It lends it- self to many uses and makes up well in arrangements which can be sold from $3 up. Probably in no way can a more attractive article be prepared than by placing a plant in a handle basket. If the basket is showy of itself, a ribbon is all that need be added, but if a plainer receptacle is used it may be wrapped in Porto Eican matting. The more poorly shaped plants in one's stock can be used to good advantage in this way. The araucaria is a salable Christmas plant, particularly with tasteful embel- lishment. Porto Eican matting of var- ied color should be in every florist 's stock of supplies and the red shades harmonize with the green of the pine. Some decorators also weave in red rib- bon, with a bow, but to the writer's taste this is going to an undesirable ex- treme. Azaleas, too, seem most popular with the pot wrapped in matting or crepe paper. Don 't use so much paper that the plant is half concealed and its bination. The Christmas pepper is an- other plant affording the same oppor- tunity for inexpensive embellishment and large sale. Good specimens of the Otaheite orange are good sellers to the better class of trade and with them pot covers of many sorts may bo used; the gilt basket and ribbon of a harmonious shade are, per- haps, most frequently used. The ericas are largely used in the east, but are not often seen in the west, where the de- development of the holiday plant indus- try has only just begun. At the Christmas season cut flowers must be of good quality to be salable, for the call is almost always for first- class stock, sent out loose; that is, in boxes. The supply houses offer a great variety of fancy boxes, hampers, etc., which can be handled very profitably r.t this season. And baskets of choice cut flowers will also be found to take An Embellished Christmas Wreath of Immortelles. beauty lost, and it you use ribbon do it sparingly. Poinsettias in pans may be treated in the same way, but always re- member that it is the plant which is the thing; don 't overdo the adornment. The cyclamen is a plant which can be sold in large numbers because it can he offered at a moderate price. Many styles of baskets may be used effect- ively as receptacles for these. The gilded wicker basket, red ribbon and the green foliage make a happy corn- average customer will not consider a wreath or other made up piece. The arrangement of carnations illustrated in this issue is a canoe-shaped basket of willow, filled with the light pink En- chantress on one side and with the darker pink Marquis on part of the oth- er, the two varieties being mixed on the handle. Asparagus was used for green and some carnation foliage and quite a number of buds. There is a bow of green ribbon on the lower front. 112 The Weekly Florists* Review, December 10. 1903. The arrangement of roses is a low basket with a high handle of grape- wooil, filled with a eonibination of Pres- ident Carnot and Mnie. c:hatenay, a number of which were well open, with manv buds interspersed, the two shades of pink blending nicely. There was lit- tle foliage used other than that of the roses and a few sprays of Asparagus pluniosus. On one side of the handle is a bow of green ribbon, of a shade to match the foliage. Violets are commonly sold in small fancy boxes or baskets, but where some- thing out of the ordinary is wanted small high-liandled baskets may be used, with ribbon. do through your order books for prev- ious years and list the names of cus- lomcrs who bought Christmas trees. Call them up on the telephone and you will likely get their order again, or, if this is too big a task, a good way is to send a printed postal card inviting the customer to call and select his tree and have it reserved for him. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Cbrisimas Greens. A feature of our business at the holi- day season of late years has been the "green" business. It has grown till it takes up a lot of time and we must ei- ther make up these wreaths and garlands ourselves or buy them. Some can be bought to advantage, while others are difScult to get in the right quality. Hav- ing these wreaths and wreathing in suf- ficient quantity, and kept so that they will be in good order for Christmas eve, exposed to very severe weather. The cases should be stored in a cool shed. A dry heat will shrivel it up. A cool, rather moist cellar would be the ideal place. Use the short stuff for making wreaths and the good branches and sprays for selling as 50 cents' worth, or a 'dollar's worth, or two dollars' worth, for there is a great demand for it in that way. If you don't have this cool cellar for storing the loose branches, and more par- HoUy Wreath with Winter Berry Worked in and Ribbon to Match Berries. will require no little thought and man- agement. The Care of Holly. Holly is, perhaps, our most important article in this line. It should never be ticularly the wreaths when they are made up, perhaps a week ahead of time, then we have found they keep very well be- neath a bench in a cool greenhouse, lay- ing coarse paper on the ground, to keep the wreaths clean, and newspaper over them, to keep the light away. Don't put down more than two layers of the wreaths, or the weight will flatten out the lower ones. Some make these holly wreaths with ground pine on one side and holly on the other. We never have demand for any but all holly. Get your local wire worker to supply you with the wire frames for the wreaths; he will supply them as cheap and neater than you can make them. Laurel Wreathing. The so-called mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia, is by all odds the nicest ma- terial for wreathing. It is a pretty green, clean, does not drop and has not the cheap look of the ground pine wreathing. Use it in all decorations where you can. It is perhaps double the cost of the ground pine wreathing, but it looks it and is worth it. Here is an article, though, that you can buy by the yard, made up, rather cheaper than you can buy the sprays and make it up yourself. We are always asked for some laurel wreathiag ' ' extra heavy, ' ' and this we have to make up for the occasion, for wliat you buy is not good enough. This beautiful shrub adorns the bleak and snowy slopes of our Allegheny moun- tains 'and no amount of frost hurts it. A cold frame, with the light excluded, is a very good place for it, but don 't make too great a thickness of it, for it flattens out in the sardine style and then it's anytliing but ornamental. That is the only trouble with the wreathing you buy ; it needs to be rufBed up and shaken out. Bouquet G'efn. I suppose the old ground pine, which has several aliases, will come next in importance. We all know that it is a carpet to some parts of our most north- ern states and is as hardy as an icicle, but it browns up quickly when used in a warm room. Even while in crates un- packed some cloth or covering of some sort should be thrown over it to keep the exposed outsides from losing its fresh green color. We used to soak the bunches for an hour or two before mak- ing into wreathing. That we found wrong. To dip the bunches in water for a minute or two will make the sprays pliable and easier to work, but if over- wet it will all the quicker turn brown or black after being made up. With us, about one-tenth as many ground pine wreaths are sold as holly. The wreathing that is made up by tens of thousands of yards and sold to the florists for them to retail is altogether too thin and dried up an article for our use and we much prefer to make the wreathing and then store it away in some frame or very cool shed, but always cov- ered, so that the light and air will be excluded as much as possible. The above three materials are the prin- cipal things for our holiday decorations. There are other things used in a small way. Tlie beautiful leaves of the Mag- nolia grandiflora are very ornamental on small branches, but not often seen. Wild Smilax. There is nothing for me to say about that most decorative of all hardy climb- ers, the southern smilax. It is in season from October until April and you buy it by the case when you want it. The merest novice can tack this up and it can't be otherwise than graceful. It's December 10, 1903 The Weekly Florists' Review^ U3 A Christinas Basket, Lorraine Begonia and Porto Rican Matting, something like the beautiful Asparagus plumosus in this respect, only tlie smilax is invaluable in the large hall, while the plumosus is at home in the drawing- room. Mistletoe. Don't forget a few dollars' worth of imported mistletoe. There are no "privi- leges ' ' allowed with the native speeies. I don't know that the mistletoe^ which has such charming associations, lends extra bliss to the exercise under the bough when well berried, but certain it is that it comes to us very berryless. The berries are in the bottom of the case and there is no harm in your gum- ming them on again. It won't be seen. If you buy ten dollars' worth of mis- tletoe you will, perhaps, only get your money back, but you won 't do that if you leave it in the case and let every boy you have maul it over when wanting to select a fifty-cent or dollar spray. Unpack and sort it and put a price on tach group, so that you can readily pick up what your customer wants. The Christmas tree, in large cities, at least, is no worry to the florist. Car loads come in and are handled by the market people, and the jieople go there for them. I don't know of any novelty that is likely to be the fashion this holiday time. Holly and the scarlet im- mortelle bells and electric lights are sure to be very prominent in Christmas deco- rations and if you get a decoration of that sort the poinsettia is sure to be asked for, as it is now known in many cities as the Christmas flower. William Scott. VIOLETS. Seasonable Treatment. Our continued cold weather for the past few weeks has been good for violets, although we have been without snow in our section until last week, when we had a fall of light snow about six inches deep. This will be an improvement as regards firing and keeping frost out of the houses, and it also makes the houses lighter these dark days. Your violets should be looking their nicest now, else there is no money iu growing them. You must take especial care to keep them thoroughly cleaned up, having no old or dying leaves in the crown, but as I have said before, do not put any careless or inexperienced help at this, at any rate not till a good deal later in the season, for if you do they will surely snap off more pennies (buds) than they save by cleaning up the plants. They are so sure to catch on the stems and then they go like the roosters that we used to fight when children. Don 't fail to keep the air fresh and pure ; change the air every day, even if you have to keep heat on while doing it in order to keep out frost. Of course storms, etc., may prevent, but as a rule do so. Watch out for sow bugs, spot and aphis, both black ant" green. Do not let any of these get a foothold under any circumstances, for they are all fatal to flowers, that which we are looking for. We never gave a real good compara- tive trial of single crowns versus good medium sized clumps till tills winter, for we always thought we preferred the lat- ter, and we still have no reason to change our opinion. I do not mean by this a large, overgrown clump, but a good medium sized one which will pro- vide you with more leaves for the plant to breathe through and still leave you some to pick, and also give you more blooms and better ones. Care and con- stant vigilance are large factors in suc- cessful violet growing, although these do not always insure success, as nearly all growers find out to their sorrow sooner or later.

Choose only those chunps that are giving you tho best, long- stemmed large ilowers and a large crop for the holidays, as it always pays, as far as possible, to breed up in plants as well as stock, and needs as much time, also, if one is to make a success of it.

ROSES. Propagation. As the propagating season is again approaching, we should begin to gtt ev- erything in readiness so that there may be no drawbacks to hamper that most important work. The propagating house should claim our first attention. The benches should be looked over and any necessary repairs made, pipes tested and ventilators adjusted. The benches should have a good coating of hot lime wash to help destroy fungus and insect eggs and the house should get a thorough fumigating. The propagating medium, whether sand or coke, should be secured whUe the weather is open, and in sufficient quantity. The question of which is the best material for this purpose is still an bench to a depth of five inches and then watered. When partly dry it should be pouuded quite firm and made of even depth all over. This will make the depth of the sand something like four ini'Iieir. The cuttings should be inserted in straight lines about one and a half inches apart and one iuch between the cuttings. Beauties will rex^uirc much more room, as they do not like crowd- ing. The heel of the cuttings should be at a uniform depth of an inch and a half in the sand and, with other eondi- tious right, they will all form roots in about the same period of time. The selection of proper wood for pro- pagating is one of the fundamental ele- ments of success. A thorough knowledge of what is best, with care and patience in selecting being really essential, this duty should never be entrusted to any but the most experienced. We frequent- ly see whole batches of cuttings taken indiscriminately, small underwood and stout pithy flower stems, and while these will form roots, they never can make thrifty plants and the grower who uses such methods is courting failure. Good, stout, well ripened blind wood with short joints will root more uniformly and make, with careful handling, as good stock as can be desired. The wood should not be allowed to stand long in water before being made and put into the sand, as this causes that condition known as "water heart." A well sharpened knife is essential in Azalea with Pot Cover of Porto Rican Matting. open one, but where clean, sharp sand is available there need be no grumble on this score. Clean sand possesses no nu- tritive qualities which can cause decom- position and as a medium for retaining moisture in sufficient quantity for this purpose without souring it is nearly perfect. This should be laid on the successful cutting making. The cut should be made as short as possible, as tlie smaller and cleaner the cut, so much earlier will the wound heal anel form a callus. The cuttings should also be as near of a size as possible. Tb^ ideal cutting for teas and hybrid teas should have at least three eyes, one at the heel of the cutting and two above ground. After being inserted in the sand they should be thoroughly watered, to settle the sanel around the heel and stem, and shaded from the direct rays of the sun. They shoukl not be allowed to remain shaded for any length of time after the sun ceases to shine on the bench, as this has a very weakening effect. The sand must never be allowed to become dr^-, a gentle sj'ringing twice a elay during very bright weather being nearly suf- ficient to supply their wants that way. The temperature of the sand should never range higher than 62 nor lower than 60 degrees, if possible, while a house temperature of 48 to 52 degrees will be sufficient to check the breaking of the eyes and consequent growth dur- ing the process of root formation. In from twenty-eight to thirty days the roots will be large enough for pot- ting, and this should be done as soon as they are ready. Every day they stand in the sand after the roots are formed is a very severe check and the grower who has a pricle in having the best will not let this condition long remain. ElBES. CARNATION NOTES— WEST. Christmas Stock. Only two weeks after these notes go into print you and I will be working as hard as ever we can to take care of our share of the great Christmas trade. But since these notes are to go into the Re- view's Christmas number we will talk a little about how to handle the Christmas stock so as to give the most satisfaction to both yourself and your customers and their customers, if you happen to be a wholesale grower. The retail customer is alv.ays the important one to consider. It is he who causes either trouble or sat- isfaction, increased trade or diminished trade. If he is satisfied and pleased with a certain lot of flowers, the retailer is very apt to have an increased call for that kind, and the grower who supplied tiiem is, of course, called upon to fur- nish more of them. You may be ever so vrell pleased yourself Vfith a certain va- riety, or a certain lot of blooms, and your retailer may think they are just right, but if the one who buys them is not pleased with them your trade will suffer. I am writing this especially for those who are in the habit of holding up their stock too long before a big day, or, in other words, pickling it. These men seem to imagine that if the blooms are in fair shape until they can ship them to the retailer, or -until the retailer has sent them to his customer, that all is well. They do not care if the blooms are asleep or falling to pieces the next day after they are sent out, thereby cutting off their own nose. The cut flower grower can make no greater mistake than this. It is unfair and unjust and any man with judgment who cares for his business will not practice anything of the kind. The customer, after paying double and treble the regular price for the flowers, cer- tainly has a right to expect them to keep as long as they do ordinarily. Is it any wonder that in so many cases he will fight shy of cut flowers, having been bit- ten a few times, and turn to the next best, the blooming plant? A bunch of fresh carnations or roses ought to last as long as the average Gloire de Ivor- December 10, 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review, 115 raine, but such blooms as are too ofteu sold will not do it. I know as well as any one how hard it is to apparently give away money by selling a lot of stock for a normal price when it could be kept a week and forced onto an unsuspecting customer at double the price, but I have seen both ends of the business and all of us can readily reason out what it will eventually do to the man 's business who practices pick- ling. A satisfied customer is the best ad- vertisement. And a customer who will tell his friends that your flowers are in- variably fresh and the best, is better than one who will have to admit that he has had old flowers a few times from you, but that you replaced them usually. As a grower you need your customer's con- fidence. He must know that whatever you send him is fresh and just what you represent it to be, and he will always be willing to pay the top price to the grow- er whose word is as good as his bond. You gain by it, even though at times you may think you could make a little more out of your cut of a few days. Now, I do not mean to say that you should cut your crop and send it in right along, just as you do ordinarily. That would be foolish and I would not advise it. because we don 't do it ourselves. The pubHc demands at least five times as many flowers during the two days be- fore Christmas as are needed on two ordinary days and it looks to the grower to supply them. This demand can be met, with the proper forethought and judgment, and with stock as good as is sent in at other times. With proper cut- ting and handling you can save practi- cally all your cut of a week pre\'ious and have it in fine shape and by put- ting on a little extra heat you can in- crease your cut to nearly double what it is ordinarily. Now, here is where the judgment comes in. Don 't get the idea that if you can hold up 1,000 blooms in one week that you can save up 2,000 blooms in two weeks, and if a rise of 10 degrees in the temperature will increase the cut 100 per cent that an increase of 20 de- grees will increase the cut 200 per cent. You can 't keep carnatioa blooms two weeks and have them in good condition to sell. Your plants will stand about so much increase in temperature and will unfold their buds more rapidly on account of it and keep up the quality, but when you step over that limit, al- though unfolding will be more rapid, resulting in a few more blooms, the in- crease in the quantity will be more than offset by a decrease in quality. Per- haps you ■n'ill not care so much if the blooms are not the very best ; they will sell any way at Christmas. Yes, they will sell, but after Christmas poor blooms will not sell and if you overtax your plants lor your Christmas cut they will surely produce a soft and inferior cut for some time after, and there is where you lose more than you made while you were plaving, your smart trifk. Every year after the holidays we see and hear of a lot of weak stemmed stuff coming in that was ruined in just that way. And often it comes from growers whom we give credit for more judgment. Just about two weeks before the day, you should commence to increase the heat by raising the temnirature one de- gree each night for eight or ten nights. This will give the buds a chance to swell and unfold gradually and they will not ^^^^^llr^¥' \ Large Flowered Cyclamen in Gilt Basket, Dressed with Red Ribbon. feel it so much. A too sudden rise will cause them to make a jump and many calyxes will burst as a result. By hav- ing the temperature at the highest point three or four nights you will get all the blooms open that you can get without hurting your plants and the greatest in- crease in the cut will come just when you want to use it, and there will be less storing to do. Cutting must be done somewhat closer, too, when the temperature is away up. A carnation bloom that hangs on a plant in a temperature 10 degrees higher than normal will ripen quickly and will begin to eleteriorate all the more rapidly. Un- der the conditions the blooms should be cut just as soon as the petals are un- folded and kept in a room where the temperature is about .50 to 52 degrees. Not quite so cool as you ordinarily have your cut flower room. You don 't want to stop them from developing, which they would do in a temperature of 4.5 tle- groes. In 50 to 52 degrees they will grow and develop into much finer blooms than they would on the plants while the temperature is . away up. \ weak dose of liquid manure will help them and so will a sprinkling of lime or wood ashe-s. Give the first named vrhen you begin to raise the tempera- ture and the latter a week later. They shoidd not suffer for water, either. Now, another thing that does not be- long to the, growing end. but which is of much importance just the same. Don't hold your stock until the last min- ute. Consult your customer or selling agent freely and take his advice as to the best time to send in the stock. He knows better than you do just when it is wanted. Often a fine batch of stuff brings little more than a normal price just because it came in too late to meet the best demand. A. F. J. BAtiR. CARNATION NOTES— EAST. Christmas Preparations. Christmas, the time of heavy demand and good prices, is but two weeks away and close attention should be given to all the details that give to the product that high finish so quickly perceived and appreciated by critical buyers and, in consequence, of direct benefit to ■ ■ grower. While we would all desire an extra large quantity at this time, it is not advisable to give so much attention in this direction as to lose sight of qual- ity. Prices will naturally be high anif I am one of those who believe, in order to maintain the public's confidence anek interest in the improvement of the car- nation, that quality should compare fa- 116 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 10, 1903. vorably with price and it is for our in- terest to use our best efforts to proiln; a grade of goods which will encourage the custom and increase the use of tho arts of the country. This is as it should be. Carnations have for years been grown at little or no profit. If ihe grandmother and your wife and chil- dren all worked at it, and you managed to keej) out of debt, or perliaps you grew other things that did yield a profit bur without keeping any account, you thought the carnations were earning you a living. The long-stemmed fine carnation that is ^v:^nted today should bring close upon the same price as a Bride, Bridesmaid. I'crlc, ;\Iorgan or any of the popular tea ruses. Why not? I heard an ea.stern rose grower, who does not by any means brag of his skill, say that his Brides- maids averaged twenty-six buds during tlie year, and a western grower said at the same meeting that liis roses of the same varieties averaged forty-nine buds. Can anyone of you do much better with the fine varieties of carnations than twenty-six flowers? Then there is only the little difference in cost of fuel, and its not enough to count, and labor i« about, the same. A dozen Prosperity-. lOnchantress or Harlowarden should be worth just as much, wholesale or retail, as a dozen Bridesmaid or Meteor roses, relative quality being the same. Buffalo seems well off for flowering plants for the holiday season. Palmer, Kebstock and Anderson are all making lavish displays of Begonia L,orraine, aM home grown. Jlr. Rebstock has enough for the eighth judicial district, nhi to Miss Eberhardt, of the same place. Moore, Hentz & Nash are again re- ceiving fine stock of the Queen of Edgely rose, for which they are sole agents in New York city. James A.

J. Austin Shaw. PITTSBURG CLUB MEETING. The Pittsburg and Alkghuiy Florists' and Gardeners' Club held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening, De- cember 1. The subject before the club -was Christmas plants, flowers and ma- terials. Antoine Schultheis, College Point, N. Y., exhibited a nice lot of young Dalms, solanums in berry and cape heaths." The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. had a large assortment of wreaths, bells, statice, everlastings, boxwood, chenille cord and Christmas greens, ferns and misletoe. Julius and Gustave Ludwig had an assortment of Christmas greens, including large branches of the strikingly beautiful Dahoon holly from northern Florida, also flowers. John Bader had a magnificent specimen of English holly, scarlet all over with berries; also an as- sortment of palms, araucarias, screw- pines, begonias, azaleas and cut flowers. Eandolph & McClements had big plants of the Anna Foster and Piersoni ferns, and Schenley park sent some pretty Lor- raine begonias. Altogether there w-as a very nice exhi- bition and abundant food for thought and eliseussion, and we did discuss things' quite lively, too. Nothing very new, either in materials or make-up, was elicited. The growing scarcity of ground pine, hence higher price, was talked about. All expected a big Christ- mas trade, so all were happy. The Cut Flower Co, declared they had perhaps the finest green boxwood ever offered for sale, and Mr. Clarke waxed warm when he assured the boys that his folks had everything in the line of Christmas materials on liand that could be found anywhere. John Bader raid he would sell that holly for $.5, as he had lots more of it at home. Some of the boys tried to squeeze out of him how- much he paid for it in Holland; they wanted to know what profits he was mak- ing, but John didn't tell all he knew. He urged, however, that holly just as good could be gro-wn in our southern states. .Jackson Dawson, superintendent of Arnold Arboretum, Boston, sent a lot of \ery bright and beautiful haw, holly, barberry and other hardy berries that might be used to good advantage in win- Decembeb 10, 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review. 127 ter decorations. They were full of sug- gestions and much admired. The Lorraine begonias were complained of as being a little soft for a rough and ready Christmas trade, and that they don't last long in dwellings. Mr. Meyer, of Robert Craig & Son, Philadelphia, was present and told us that in his town the growers pack the Lorraines, ready for retail delivery, so that there is no time lost in the stores in this work. A tele- phone message brings in the plants, all clean and packed as fast as a horse can trot into town. And thev should be grown cool for some time before ship- ment. Mr. Meyer brought on a lot of sample palms, ferns, crotons and other plants with him from Craig 's and had them spread out in the room in his hotel. When he saw what kind of meetings the florists here have he felt like kicking himself because he hadn 't brought his plants into the meeting room, and we, too, felt like kicking him because he hadn't told us in time about them. Geddis & Blind, a firm of retail flor- ists, were very much wrought up about the way the funeral directors have of squeezing discounts out of the florists and how tardy they are in paying their bills. A committee of three, namely Mr. Geddis, Ernest Ludwig and E. C. Eeine- man, was appointed to look into the mat- ter and report with recommendations at the next meeting. Four new members were elected and one proposed. The subject for our January meeting is to be roses. W. F. ONiTHE BASIS OF QUALITY. The following article from Printers' Ink, the journal for advertisers, is worthy the careful consideration of every florist, for the truths embodied are as applicable to our trade as any other: This much can be said in behalf of ad- vertising which seeks to win the trade of those who will pay reasonable prices for the better grades of goods, as against ad- vertising based upon cheap goods and low prices. When a customer has once been educated to quality he will seldom return to the masses who seek shoddy and sham goods at split-penny prices. Teach a man to wear good clothes, to drink pure liquors and wines, to register at a high- class hotel; teach a woman to buy solid furniture, to demand the best grades of food and to patronize a dressmaker who is an artist; teach them both to spend money with a reasonably open hand for necessities or pleasures, and their spend- ing capacity has been permanently in- creased. Eather than revert to the bar- gain-hunters, they will increase their earning capacity, and the store that ap- peals merely to the desire to save pen- nies will seldom win them away from the store that makes worth the first consid- eration and pennies the last. It must be admitted, of course, that hundreds of retail advertisers are located in communities where quality arguments would be out of the question — ruinous in fact. Tet there are many depending wholly upon price arguments in communi- ties that would respond quickly to n campaign of education in the buying of quality commodities. The great force be- hind the advertiser who preaches quality is the capacity of every sort of good mer- chandise to win its way after introduc- tion. Quality advertising is sometimes a slow trade-builder, but it builds exceedingly strong. The retailer advertising on a quality basis has several lines of argu- ment. He can show, by plain reasoning-, that quality goods are better than bar- gain commodities, and he can also dem- onstrate the points wherein cheap goods fail, and how costly they are in the long run. He can show readers that notwith- standing the apparent saving of twentv- five or fifty cents or a dollar, it is im- possible to get something for nothing in the world of business — that all merchan- dise is sold by a hard and fast business system that makes it impossible for :i merchant to give five dollajrs for three — that there is evermore a decided hole in a bargain. He can demonstrate that tin- difference between two grades of a commodity is accurately determined by experts long before they are offered to consumers. Arguments of this sort -will hardly fill a store with people the day after the adv. is printed, but they lay a permanent foundation for lasting trade. Quality has been behind nearly every business house that has built up a soUd reputa- tion and is behind some of the great- est advertising campaigns — if not behind those that make the most noise, at least behind those that will go farthest. Many a retailer who is now using publicity on a price-cutting, competitive basis, would find through systematic experiment that his community is far more susceptible to quality arguments and prices than he has ever suspected. FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. The Gardeners' Magarine. The Royal Horticultural Society has given an award of merit for Dracaena Pere Charon to L. J. Draps-Dorn, Laeken, Brussels. It is so well propor- tioned and so brilUantly colored that it is likely to become extremely popular. The leaves are about five inches across at their broadest and from a foot to eighteen inches long. The younger cen- tra! leaves are brilliant scarlet and pink, and the scarlet coloring is also very pronounced on the older leaves, accom- panied by dark green. Asparagus plumosus cristata received an award of merit from the Royal Horti- cultural Society July 21. This is a dwarf-growing variety with the tips of the frond-like growths both divided and crested in a manner well knovm to fern- lovers, and as seen in gymnogrammcs and pterises. It has lost the climbing habit, and makes a handsome pot plant about eighteen inches or two feet high. The beautiful double white stock. White Christmas, can be had in bloom for Christmas by planting the seed about the middle of April, Hollyhocks. — As yet no means of ef- fectually preventing the spread of the puccinia by which the disease is caused when it has become established upon the plant has been discovered, but plants raised from seeds are practically free from the attack of the puccinia until after they have produced their first flower spikes, and with care in saving the seed the several varieties reproduce themselves quite true, both in form and color. Where so many people err in hollyhock culture is being far too niggardly in giv- ing space to the plants, and manure to the roots. Abundance of air about them, and a freedom of growth which can only be obtained by liberal cultivation, are the secrets of success. Direct fertilizers contain elements which, added to the soil, are at once available as food for plants; such, for example, is nitrate of soda. Indirect fertilizers may be material of which the soil is not destitute, and which is not in itself a plant-food, but which acts on the matters already in the land, and changes some of them from the unavail- able to the available form; lime and marl may be classed among these sub- stances. If it were necessary for a manure to contain all the food needed for plant growth, fourteen elements would have to be present to make it complete. But most fertile soils contain an abundance of at least ten of these elements; the only ones often deficient being nitrogen, potash, and phosphoric acid, and, some- times, lime. It has been fully demonstrated that all of these essential elements must be present in the soil in sufficient quantity, and in suitable form, to ensure fertility and the successful growth of plants. A deficiency of any one of them wUl diminish production and prevent a profit- able crop, causing the soil to appear ex- hausted when in reality it lacks but a single substance. This partial, or one- sided, exhaustion is the common condition of what is caUed ' ' worn-out soUs. ' ' Carbon comprises about one-half of the soUd constitutents of plants, and is wholly derived from the carbonic acid of the air; this is absorbed by the leaves, aud decomposed in their green cells by the action of light, the carbon being re- tained in the plant tissues for bmlding up the structure, while the oxygen is again set free. Of the element carbon nature always provides an abundant sup- ply in an available lorm for all the necessities of the plant. But the growing crop, of whatever its character, cannot absorb and make use of this carbon un- less there is an available supply of min- eral substances, potash, lime, and phos- phoric acid in the soil. Water is by far the most abundant constituent of all gro-wing plants. This element is nearly all derived from the soil, being absorbed by the roots, and carries with it into the tissues of the plant, in solution, all the ash constituents, and most of the nitrogen which the plant contains. It serves also as a carrier by •n-hieh the products assimilated are trans- ferred to the places in the plant where they are needed; and finally by its de- composition supplies nearly all of the gaseous elements of oxygen and hydrogen to the plant. It is thus evident that suc- cessful gardening is more dependent upon a proper supply of moisture in the soil than to any other factor. Water has, therefore, been called by an eminent ■svriter "the paramount fertilizer." I -WISH to state that I am well pleased with Scott's Manual, -which I got last year. It is very helpful. No florist should be without one. John L. Mjeteb, Devon, Pa. "The classified advs. are worth, in time saved to the reader, more than the price of subscription." — George Ellison, Fort Worth, Tex.

Trade Notes of Interest. Oitobor wcallior iu Uooembor has a teudeucy to hurt tho floral trade, ospo- eially iu the init flower departmeut, ami consequently business in tliat line has been rather (|uiet in Denver for the past few weeks, but notwithstanding these conditions everybody is busy getting reiuly for Christmas. Up to quite re- cently the cut flower market has been overstocked, but the commission house has been tho means of getting a lot of sur^ilus stock moved out of the city, which would otherwise have been thrown away. Mr. Waterbury's enterprise is yet "in its infancy, and time alone will "demonstrate tho necessity of such an es- tablishment iu the Rocky mountain re- gion, but if a comprehensive and impar- tial attention to the interests of the va- rious growers is all that is required he will make it pay. The plant trade is becoming an ex- tensive feature in the retail stores and good stock is always in demand at paying prices. Just now cyclamens are taking the lead and those from the Park Floral Company greenhouses are certainly tin". Mr. Sked, who is foreman at this estab- lishment, has given the hybridization of this valuable w-inter flowering plant close attention for many years, and is now- producing many new shades, as well as some very large semi-double varieties. It is astonishing what results can be ob- tained from close attention to the cul- ture of this plant. Some of the plants grown at this establishment I have know n to carry 100 flowers at one time, and some of them have sold as high as $'.i at Christmas. Plants now in the green- house twelve to fifteen months old are now retailing at $2 each. Lorraines and poinsettias are also in a high state of perfection at this establishment and pre- liminary sales have demonstrated their unceasing popularity. The Colfax Avenue Floral Company is well represented in plants, especially tho cyclamens, which are fine specimens, only of the old fashion types. The Scott Floral Co. hung up its shingle in a large storeroom in the Masonic Tem- ple last week. Phil's big window of twenty feet was quite attractive with poinsettias. backed up with an eight font wreath of gaJax, the whole artisticallv associated with palms, ferns and south- ern smilax. Kmil Glauber, of Montclair, is stocking up the retailers with a fine lot of plu- mosus. Being anxious to learn how lie produced such fine stock, I visited his greenhouse recently and found other things of greater interest to the frater- nity. His plumosus are grown under latli screens during summer and removed into a cool house before frost, where thc- are thoroughly hardened. They are mostly in 5-inch and represent at retail from'$l to $1.50 each, and sell readilv. Mr. Cvlauber has been the only exten- sive grower of the Chatenay rose in the locality and this year he is more .iubilant than ever over "his success, as he has certainlv surpassed all his previous ef- forts "He has three houses in the most perfect state of health and all coming in for Christmas. He informs me that he cuts fif tv per cent more good flowers from this variety than he does from any other, and gets a" better price than for any other tea and ther have proven a more healthv and freer grower than other teas. This point is worthy of consideration. He is now ready for potting 10,000 two-eyed cuttings. A peculiarity of this rose is that the select blooms, which come from the strong bottom breaks, lack the color and durability of the other grades. Can anv of your readers explain this? I al.5c) saw at this place a fine lot of 'mums for t^hristmas. Among them the old favorite Minnie Wanauiaker. which Mr. Glauber savs he will not give up for many of the later introductions. He also has a fine lot of Maud Dean. Yellow Eaton an Manager. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY The FLORISTS' Publishing Co. 630-535 Caxton Balldlng. 334 Dearborn Street. Chicago.

Please let me know if tliere is any way to make soft water from liard. We have here all hard water and full of alkali, so that we cannot use it on our stock. P. J. K. There is more to this query than ap- pears on the face of it. Any method which I could recommend would be too ■expensive for a florist to adopt. The best and surest method is to distil the •water, but, of course, that is out of the qiu'stion. Some acids will neutralize the alkali but this is a question for an ex- ptrt chemist. AVould advise P. J. K. to ' forward a sample of the water on his place along with his query to the faculty of the Agricultural College of his state. They, as a rule, are willing to lend their aid in such cases. Kibes. A BROKEN GASKET. T ha\e a sectional builer that was put up this year and there is a flaw in one of the gaskets (asbestos ring) that goes ■between the sections to make them wa- ter tight.

Whenever the boiler cools oft' it con- tinues to drip into the ash pit and soaks the ashes. As it is too late in the sea- sou to replace the gasket with a new one without a great risk to my plants, can you suggest any way of making the joint tight? The bolts are as tight as I can screw them up and still, as I have said, the action of the fire causes the joint to leak, especially when the fire is out or low. What I want to know is, shall 1 let it alone for the present or is there any danger of the leak getting worse? 1 don't know if I have made this clear, but I shall bo glad to get advice on the matter. The leaking joint is near the fire box, but does not hurt the fire at present, as it runs down the side of the ash pit. W. P. E.

Several uote.s appeared in the trade papers shortly after the New York chrysanthemum show, referring to the gift of Elmer D. Smith, of Adrian, Mich., to the chrysanthemum society of America. As was stated at that time this gift con- sists of a list of all the varieties of chrysanthemums introduced in America since the early SO 's. These records have now become the property of the C. S. A. and are in the hands of the secretary. The care with which the records hav been compiled, the earnest and painstaJi- ing effort which has been made to cover the ground thoroughly, and the eminently practical and convenient manner in which the records are gotten, up, call for the liighest commendation from all lovers of tlie chrysanthemum tliroughout America. A brief explanation of the system fol- lowed, may be of interest. The well known card index system is used. White cards designate varieties raised in America, blue cards imported varieties, and synonyms are placed on yeUow cards. The name of the variety is given^ fol- lowed by the name of the introducer, anil the raiser, when possible. The year it was sent out in the United States and the description complete the card. Each year the secretary will add cards cover- ing all the introductions of the yoar. thus keeping the records up to dat" When the report of the convention, held in New York November 10, is pub- lished, a copy of this list will be iuchi.' ' and will become the property of each member of the C. S. A. Fbed H. Lemon, Sec'y. The Mount Greenwood Cemetery As- sociation sends to lot owners a neatly printed circular suggesting the appro- priateness of placing holly wreaths on graves at Christmas. Au order blank is enclosed and the prices quoted are those at which holly wreaths are ordinarily sold in Chicago. 144 The Weekly Florists' Review, December 10, 1903. Seed Trade News.

Warren, representing Wood, Stubbs & Co., Lou- isville, Ky. Seedsmen usually are not backward in quoting prices. If they feel diffident about doing so at this time there are rea- sons for it. It is stated that a coming seed novelty was "grown on the plains of Abraham, and watered with Job's tears." It should be a winner. Shipments of beans on contract orders are unusually delayed this year, owing to the difficulty of getting them thresheil out in many localities. This year there seems to be consid- erable anxiety lest farmers who grow sweet corn and other crops on contract deliver to the wrong parties. Chicago. — Judging from the quantity of Christmas trees, etc., in and about their warehouses, all tagged for shipment, W. W. Barnard & Co. must be having .t splendid Christmas trade. Visited Chicago: W. J. Fosgate, of Santa Clara, Cal.; Arthur G. Lee, of Ar- thur G. Lee & Bro., Fort Smith, Ark.: H. M. Clair, representing the Planet Jr., goods, Philadelphia; C. Eeno Root, Den- ver, manager for F. Barteldes & Co. Bouquet green is arriving from tho woods in much less than the usual quan- tities, but probably enough for orders .it prevailing prices, $7.50 to $9 per li pounds in the Chicago market. Holly is coming fast and of good average quality. Some sweet corn is changing hands throughout the east at $7..50 and upward per bushel. Many dealers having thought early prices too high, have not yet pur- chased, and canners are largely short of supplies. Very bttle corn matured for seed in this section. The sweet corn values named in this column three weeks ago continue to pro- vail and the outlook points to even higher prices. The feeling in the east is easier than in the west, but as the returns from plantings in the west, where the main part of the crop usually comes from, are so far below what they should be, nothing can well prevent extremely high prices. Philadelphia. — The recent cold snap which extended as far south as middle Florida, has brought many rush orders from that state, beans and tomato seed being in particular demand. Nearly ev- ery mail brings inquiries for cucumber, melon and wax beans. Judging from the inquiries the standard green pod beans are quite as scarce as the wax sorts. There will evidently be an un- precedented demand the coming season for tomato and cucumber seed. As an evidence of how eagerly these seeds are sought by the local seedsmen, a small SURPLUS BULBS.

New Jersey farmer recently wrote five houses here on the same day offering about tifty pounds each tomato and White Spine cucumber seed at $1 per pound and received five telegrams all within forty-five minutes for the seed. One of the younger houses secured the prize, being first to land their telegram. Certain western seed growers are out with offers of cucumber and squash seeds at about -500 per cent above con- tract prices, seed wliich they state they ' ' secured from parties who grow on their own account." As these are offered in lots ranging from 350 to 1,000 pounds each, comment is unnecessary. Arthur G. Lee. of Fort Smith, Ark., reports tho outlook for seed business in the south and southwest as being fir«t rate. It is expected that onion sets will be in good demand after the first of tin- year. The slump in price after purchases had been made last season has had i tendency to keep dealers from ordering any sets in advance this year. The seed business in Arkansas is growing and the opportunities for branching out are of tho best. DUMMY INQUIRIES. We are in receipt of the following let- ter from one of the best known eastern seed houses: This is tlie season when the seedsman who wants to know the prices at whirh his neieh- bors are purposing to cntaloffiie seeds is send- ing out his dummy lists. The past week we have received two in familiar handwriting, one purporting to come from Samuel Allen. Lansing, Mich., and the other from H. A. Mer- rill, of Saginaw. Mich. Both of these parties are expecting to go largel.v into trucking the coming season, and they are hoping to sell some seeds to their neighboring truckers. They apologize for wanting prices so early, but they do not want to be delayed in their spring planting. They promise orders by the last of Novi'raber. Following this is a list of nearly everything in the catalogue, ranging In quan- tity from a quarter of a pound to three pounds. .\lien signs himself, "Answer nuickl.v, yours for business," Merrill signs himself. "Now. if you want my order hurry np and quote me low prices quicli and maybe I can give you the order. Yours for great big crops." etc. We are making some little inquiry to find out what seedsmen these pnrties are clerks for and when we get the information we will write again. .70HXS0N & STOKES.

Trade for last Tveek was very good and the outlook for its continuance for the rem;iinder of December is very en- couraging. Debutantes filled the social calendar of last week; the demand for novelties in choice cut flowers and other good stock for debutante bunches was i-|uite heavy. Tlie present supply and de- mand of this market is about equal, ex- cept on white carnations, which are scarce and not nearly enough to supply the demand. Chrysanthemums are still about, mostly the ordinary kinds, but they sell at fair prices. The supply of Beauties has shortened \ip considerably. The ones received are of extra fine qual- ity and touch $5 per dozen. The best quality of Maids and Brides are scarce, the minor gratles very plentiful. This is a poor valley market ; the de- mand is veiy spasmodic and for that rea- son I judge none of our growers force them in any great amount. However, more valley is being used here every year and the increasing demand should induce some one, locally, to supply the market thronghout the seasou. Various Notes. T. M. TJlam & Co. had the decoration for the Crucible Club dinner to Gen. Jliles. The scarcity of bouquet green is stim- ulating the demand for boxwood sprays and laurel wreathing. On Jlonday the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. received a car load of wild smilax, which came to them by express. Mr. Clarke reports the demand for it stead- ily on the increase, for it is being used more and more by the country trade. At John Bader's plant and greenhouse everyone is busy preparing stock for shipment for the holiday trade. Mr. Bader has a fine collection of Christmas plants, ferns and palms. C. T. Siebert had the decoration for the Mellon reception. Ernest Zieger su- pervised the work. T. P. Langhans is confined to his home with an attack of the grip. The demand for Christmas decorative material is very good. Bed immortelle bells and moss wreaths are again a fea- ture this season. Tlie last meeting of the Florists' Club was not very well attended, but the dis- play of decorative plants and material was elaborate and good. Plants and ma- terial did double service, as they were exhibited at the botanical meeting on Thursday night following the Florists ' Club meeting. Hoo-Hoo. TROY, N. Y. =^THE AMERICAN= CARNATION Fire Destroys Greenhouses. John Pickering, proprietor of the Wil- low Bank Greenhouses, situated on Tib- bits avenue, in Brunswick, just east of the city line, sustained a severe loss by tire December 1. The fire originated about 3 0 'clock in the roof of a work- shop connected with the greenhouses and was "aused by a defective tluc. The fire quickly spread over the workshop and made its way to a connecting house lead- ing to the greenhouses. The shop, which was a wooden structure, aiforded fine ma- terial for the flames, and the connecting HOW TO GROW IT. FULLY ILLUSTRATED. By C. W. WARD.

But three of the seven large houses were saved. The residents of the vicinity provided as much assistance as possible, and members of the Sycaway fire company worked hard to counteract the flames. This was the only protection there was at hand. While the fire was kept from three of the buildings, this was no source of protection to the stock, as the entire stock was practically destroyed. Mr. Pickering said that his loss was be- tween $4,000 and $6,000, The insurance amounted to only ,$600, and this was on his tools. December 10, 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review.

Among the most beautiful of our na- tive flowering plants is the California azalea. It is a wonaor that more of them are not used by our landscape gardeners. During the latter part of May and during June and July our mountainous country from Oregon on the north to southern California on the south, especially along the banks oi mountain streams, is covered jcor miles with the bushes, the rich green foliage of which is often obscured from view by the magnificent clusters of white and yellow, or sometimes pinkish, flow- ers. The shrubs grow from two to ten feet high and flowers and leaves cluster at the ends of the branches, as is the case with all the azalea family. They are very easily handled in the winter season. Last year I transplant- ed about two dozen of them from the Santa Cruz mountains and planted them in the neighborhood of San Fran- cisco. They commenced to bloom earlv in June and during that month and through July they were the wonder ;.. 1 admiration of the neighborhood. Farther north we have the California vose bay, Rhododendron Californicum, also a gorgeous native flower. Unlike the azalea, to which it is closely re- lated, it inhabits the higher lands and is often found on bleal- mountain sides. It is also an evergreen and grows from three to fifteen feet in height. The leaves are from six to eight inches long, resembling, somewhat, those of the Magnolia gr&ndiflora. The flowers are rosy pink in color and are borne in very large clusters. To see a mountain side covered with this gorgeous mass of flowers is a sight never to De forgotten, and I doubt if it can be rivaled anywhere else in Amer- ica. I do not find them quite so easy to transplant as the azaleas, but thev are such a grand shrub that it is well worth the trouble to try to use them as a garden flower. These azaleas and rhododendrons are not fragrant, but they have the odor of the woods around the flowers and foliage that is verv suggestive of our beautiful California mountains. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Although it is now the first week in December we have had no cold weather yet. The temperature has been from 55 to 60 degrees during our long nights for the past week. We have had considera- ble fog and roses have not been very plentiful, but carnations can be had in any quantity, although the prices are gradually climbing. Fancy Lawson and Prosperity are selling wholesale at from 60 to 75 cents per dozen, Cressbrook and Estelle at 50 cents, Crocker and other varieties a shade cheaper and Portia and Scott at 25 cents per dozen. American Beauty can be had at from $2 to $3 per dozen and short-stemmed cheaper. Bride, Maid, Testout, Kaiserin and Lib- erty are selling at about 75 cents, al- though some fine stock brings $1 and short and weak-stemmed about half that 500,000 Rooted Carnation Cuttings r':;.

LOOMIS FLORAL CO., LOOMIS, GAL. MentloD Review when yoo write. price. Business, outside of funeral work, iias been very quiet since Thanks- giving. The funeral of Samuel Eaiuey a week ago was a big occasion for many of our florists. There were countless de- sisins and some of them were very elabo- rale. The Shanahan Floral Co., F. Shib- eley, Sievers & Boland, Podesta & Baldoc- chi, F. Pelicano and Thomas H. Steven- son had the bulk of the orders. Violets do not seem to be as plentiful as we expected after so much rain as we have had and I cannot account for their scarcity. The.v still wholesale for $1 per dozen bunches, which is about twice their usual price at tliis time of the year. Mums are not quite so plenti- ful, but they are still of fair quality. Sonie very fine oiitdoor grown Bonnaf- fons and several late white sorts are in good supply. Smilax is very plentiful but maiden-hair fern seems to be in rather short Supply at present. Wild ferns and red berries are used in large quantities for decorating in the store windows and everything except the weath- er makes one think of Christmas. Various Notes. A.

HENRY A. DREER, Philadelphia, Penna. J 50 The Weekly Florists^ Review* December 10, 1903. MILWAUKEE. The Market. Trade for Thanksgiving was excep- tionally good. There was no perceptible shortage in any line. Violets and carna- tions led the call and were cleaned up at good figures. There were more nuniis in tho market than ^Yere anticipated and prices were unsteady. Plenty of choice blooms went at $1.50 per dozen and in- ferior grades went begging. Stevia came in quantity and sold well. This is a most popular tlower during its season and comes in handy to fill in for any occa- sion. Some fine violets are in and find a ready market. The call for roses is about equal to demand. Club Meeting. A regular meeting of the Florists' Club was held last week. A new consti- tution and by -laws were adopted, calling for the election of officers annually the first Tuesday in December. The follow- ing oifieers were elected at this meeting: President, W. A. Kennedy; vice-presi- dent, F. H. Holton; secretary, H. V. Hvmkel; treasurer, C. Dalwig; trustees. J. G. Heitman, F. P. Dilger, C. Zepnick. It -was decided to secure the Exposition building for a flower show next fall and a premium list of $1,500 was approved. Doubtless much more will be raised for special prizes. Incog.

The flowers do not fade off to mauve, as so many of a similar color do, but turn to a paler sbade of blush before falling. Begonia Marie Boucliet has been given an award of merit by the Royal Horti- cultural Society. It is a free-growing begonia that is suitable for basket culture by reason of its long, slen- der growths.

Protection from Frost. — Althougli wire netting is not usually classed with the materials suitable for the protection of fruit trees from frost, there can be no doubt that it possesses considerable protective value. In the gardens of Syon House there has been so great a diffi- culty in keeping the buds of the goose- berry bushes safe from birds daring the winter and e-arly spring nionths, that Mr. Wythes has had a considerable area en- closed with wire netting. The frame- work is formed with slender posts and strips of deal, and is about five feet high. This is covered with wire netting having an inch mesh, and is a most eflS- eient protection from birds. This year it has been a most efficient protection from frost also, for in April, when the frost was so severe at Syon as to prac- tically destroy the whole of the young gooseberries on the unprotected bushes, not a fruit was injured on the bushes enclosed by the wire structure. Anemone King of the Scarlets was given an award of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in May. For bril- liancy of color it would be hard to find a flower to beat this handsome anemone. The flowers are three inches and more across, qidte double, and yet spread out flat. The outer floral segments are large, but sharply pointed, and then come the petaloid stamens laid out in regular cir- cles, one within the other. The whole flower is vivid velvety scarlet. The vari- ety appears to be very free flowering. The forty-fourth exhibition and con- gress of the Pomological Society of France was held at Clermont Ferrand in September. A single-flowered garden rose named Blush Rambler has been awarded a gold medal by the National Rose Society. It was secured by crossing Crimson Rambler with The Garland. It bears a profusion of soft blush-])ink flowers, each with a THE FLORISTS' MANIAL, Is a book of 2U large pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review) and contains about 200 articles on commercial plants and cultural operations, each giving "the meat " only, from the personal experience of a thoroughly practical man who is in daily touch with each department of the business, and who has that rare quality of being able to tell others what they want to know. The articles are arranged alphabetically, like those in an encyclopEedia, and in an instant one can turn to the subject upon which light is desired at the moment. The book is illustrated by over 2U0 fine half-tone engravings. It is A Complete Reference Book for Commercial Florists and is a whole library on practical commercial tioriculture in one volume. It is very handsomely and substantially bound in half leather, with specially designed title in gold.

SCOTT. After reading Mr. Wm. Scott's Manual, we wish to say that we consider it without equal as a book of reference for busy florists. GEORGE ,M.. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr, Scott's superb work. "The Florists* Manual.'* was indeed worth waiting for. When compared with the amount of practical infor- mation it contains, the selling price, $5.00, eeoms a mere bagatelle. Oakland. Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It is the best book of the kind ever pub- lished. There is more in it than in any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. No progressive florist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Manual. The old florist needs it. for reference, to aid a defective memory, and the young florist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of '. ibe florists' business. J. T. TEMPLE. Davenport, la.

I am very well rieased with same. The more I read it the better satis- fled I am with it. and there are one or two articles alone in it that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything is mads so plain and all details are right to the point.

FOR EARLINESS--We beat them all. FOR QUSLITY-We lead. FOR QUANTITY--We have the Commercial White Carnations.

Our large stock still enables us to offer some February delivery. Price ~ $12.00 per 100 ; $100.00 per lOOO ; 2500 at $95.00 per lOOO ; SOOO at $90.00 per 1000.

UTICA. N. Y. The Utiea Florists' Club holds its meetings on the first Tuesday of the month in rooms in the Mannerchor build- ing. Our last meeting was very well attended. Two new members were elect- ed and three proposed. We have now about fifty-five members and still there are more, and we want them, but they are coming our way all right. It was decided at this mooting that we hold a carnation meeting some time in Febru- ary, the date to be decided later. There are a great many carnations grown here- abouts and it ought to bring out a good show of kinds that are being grown to- day, as well as the new ones. It was decided to open the show to our friends by invitation. Baker & Son say that Thanksgiving trade was good and I think it was gen- erally so, but a shortage of carnations all around. Their place is looking fir.<'. Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, will be in Utica on December 16 to talk to the Utiea Florists' Club on what he knows about carnation culture and every member of the club should make an effort to hear him, as he is a good talker and writer, as we all know who read the Ekview. This -nill be a grand opportunity to get acquainted with him. Trandt *& Powers, of Canajoharie, were in town last Tuesday; Mr. Byam, of Rome, on Friday, and Mr. Hakes, of Ilion, on Tuesday. W. A. Bowlands has gone to New York and I tldnk when he comes back he might tell us something. Just wait and see, boys. A party of Uticans is expecting to go to SvTaeuse soon t'o see Flamingo at home!

Mention the Review when you write CASSIA COR YM BOS A. For covering bare walls or trellises in the greenhouse this plant is unrivaled and is of eaey culture, saj's the Garden- ing "World. The rich yellow flowers are borne in corymbs during the summer months, and are extremely useful for cutting purposes. The sprays should be ■cut eighteen inches long for placing in vases, as then the real beauty of the flowers is displayed to advantage. The plant attains to ten or fifteen feet in height, and if accorded liberal treat- ment soon covers the space allotted to it. Half-ripened shoots are plentiful at this time, and these strike root readily if inserted round the sides of four and one-half inch pots of rich soil composed of equal parts of loam, peat, and leaf- soil, with plenty of sharp sand added to make it porous. Plunge the pots in a ■ hotbed or in the propagating pit and keep well sprinkled. RECENT DECISIONS. Judge Funk, in the Circuit Court at South Bend, Ind., has decided that the •charging of demurrage for ears held over a stated length of time is legal. Judge Funk cited decisions in Illinois and Georgia, holding that freight in a car is as if stored in a railway ware- house and that the railways have a right to make the same rules governing both situations. While the word "warrant." especially where the contract of sale of a chattel is reduced to writing, is most generally and appropriately used, still the term is not absolutely necessary to express a war- ranty by the seller, for the rule is well settled that in sales of personal property no particular form of words is essential to establish or constitute a warranty. Any positive representation, assertion or affirmation made by the seller during the pendency of the negotiations for the sale, not the mere expression of an opinion or belief, which fairly expresses the inten- tion of the seller to warrant the article •or property sold to be what it is repre- sented, will constitute an express war- ranty.— Smith V.

Among plants that occupy a far nioic> prominent position in gardens than they did a generation ago must be in eluded the abntilons, says the Garden ers' Magazine. Their value for ditt'er ent purposes has now been generall\ liroved. Some of the true species, ^^ well as n'.any hybrid forms, are well adapted for training along the ra^ter^ oi- roof of a greenhouse; indeed, the yel- low-flowered variety. Golden Fleece, so situated in the conservatoiy at Kew. has long proveil to he one of the mosi striking features of that structure. For clothing jtlie back wall of a eon servatory, or in a, similar j)Osition. abn- tilons have nuieh to commend them, nol the least imiiortant item being the fail that if the structure is kept fairly warm flowers may be had to a greater or lesser extent throughout the winter. Large ])lants gro\Yn..as standards form a notable feature, either in the conserv- atory or plunged out of doors during the summer, the drooping character of the l)lossoms being well shown when the i)lants are treated in this way. Not Ihe least desirable feature of the abn- tilons is that many of the varieties soon reach an effective size. Lastly, the ma- jority of the different forms can be grown as neat bushes- in 6-inch pots, and in this way will flower freely, the restricted root-room being very condu- cive to the production of flowers, but to ensure .success an occasional stimu- lant is necessary. As cut flowers the pure white variety, Boule de Neige, is appreciated by many, particularly in the formation of wreaths, for it is one of the best of the winter flowerers. The propagation and culture of abu- tilons is of the simplest, as cuttings strike root very readily, and seedlings are also easily raised. The plants grow freely in ordinary potting soil if care is taken to give some weak liquid man- tire from time to time, otherwise if at all starved many of the leaves will quickly drop. The same results are ob- tained if red spider effects a lodgment on the foliage, and in order to prevent this a libera] use of the syringe is nec- essarv.

The Weekly Florists' Review, J73 MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Christmas Reminders. With the general grower and retailer there will be little room or time to do much but prepare .your stock for the holi- day sales ami there is nothing so im- portant as being prepared, with your bus- iness down to a system. I yery distinctly remember years ago a young man in our business whose cash sales would average •$i!.30 a day and his charges about $3.7."). He had one bencli, or counter, in the shed, which was used for w-rapping phuit.s. In one corner were the books of the firm and scattered about was a ball or two of string, wrapping paper, etc. Before suspension of business for the day and after this tremendous rush a young man (the only help) was kept busy twenty minutes jjutting things in their places, cleaning up, 3'ou may say. I know and freely admit that there are times and liours in a rush when some dis- order is inevitable, but in the great ma- jority of eases it is not pressure of bus- iness that's the cause; it is the absence of the bump of order. Midshipman Easy's father had a phrenological ma- chine for depressing vicious bumps and developing the useful and virtuous. But, in the absence of the machine, remember your failing and try and be orderly and systematic. There is a place for every- thing, and it should be there. Nothing raises an irritation of the epidermis in me quicker or more violent than to se<^ plants, either on the bench or on the patli, that are past their usefulness and never can yield a cent. And in the sheds there is often great disorder and needed room taken up witli useless truck and muck. Remember tliat the smaller the place the greater the need of order and system and economy of space. If you have acre.-: around you there is plenty of room "out of doors" for things the elements won't hurt, but city places have not that f commodation. Here are a few reminders of some things that can be seen to ahead of time: All sorts, sizes and shapes of boxes f'lr cut flowers should be made up and ready for use. You will find some clean dry place for them. To keep a woman, or man, either, waiting while Charlie runs back to make up a box to hold a dozen roses impresses the customer that you ^-t slightly ' ' one horse. ' ' All ribbons, mat.s, paper, etc., you are supposed t^i have in "elegant shape." The Care of Cut Flowers. It pays on this occasion to have a good smart lad who is familiar with the busi- ness to take care of the cut flowers and do nothing else. Harry dives into a vase of fifty roses or carnations to select a dozen and leaves three or four hanging over the edge out of water. But it's not in tliat trifle so much as in the cellar that a manager of your stock of cut flow- ers is necessary. I am sorry for the man who has not a cool, moist cellar. I quite understand that I say "moist!" For roses it is most certain that the atmof- phere should be slightly moist, and 1 liave never seen it do anything but good to carnations, or any other flower. 1 mean such moisture as would bo produced by a w'et or damp floor. The ice box is the great attraction of a store. Magnificent are some of the creations in this line, and fascinating to tlie obseiTer, but a poor place to keep floi\'ors if you expect them to be satisfac- tory to your customer. I am not going to enlarge on store management, it's no; my forte, but I will just remind you tliat if you want to u.se cut poinsettias in aii>' decoration you must cut them twenty-four hours ahead of time and when fresh cut put the stems in a jar in almost (not serve a good lot of carnations without unduo "embalmificatiou." Dressing the Plants. Now to the greenhouse. Those having (inly a retail store should have every plant iu it dressed for the occasion, but if yon have a conservatory iu the rear, or a greenhouse at your back, there is no need of every plant being decked with mat and ribbon. Enough of everything you have should be on display in its best frills and tucks and others can be fixed up as need- ed. There is no possible excuse why the pots of every plant you are likely to sell at this season sliould not be scrubbed an-ill become more uniform and tlieir pro ductiveness, especially in medium lengili stems, will be increased by twenty-five per cent. This statement is deduced frnni actual experiment and supported by re- ords. By confining ourselves to short joint- ed wood we are enabled to get our cui tings of a like condition of ripeui— . which insures a more uniform root foraiM- tion than if we use long stems for cur ting wood, as it is impossibh' that all the eyes on a six-foot stem can in anv way approach each other in this resp.it. the consequence being that the rootin'^ stage will be very uneven. A cutting nirii three or four eyes 1 have always preferred to a oue-eye prevent the cuttings from shedding thetr leaves, great care will be required not to overcrowd them in the bench, giving them sufficient room for a free eircul.T- tion of air among the le.aves, so that thev may dry out quickly. A temperature .if 62 degrees in the sand with a house tem- perature of .55 degrees is about the ideal, lint I have seen some fine batches of stoi-k at a much higher temperature; 1. however, find tl'.e cooler rooted prefer- able. There is great danger to Beauty cnt- ming and inserting in sand. It is true the time should not be long, but every second a cutting lays out under full ex- posure to the air, its vitality is ebbing away. Kemember you are not dealing with gei-aniums or cacti, which are said to better resist damping off, especially tBe latter, when the cut end is allowed a few days to sear over by exposure to the air. In trimming use a very shar]i knife, in- suring a clean cut surface which nnll callus much more quickly than when the tissues are in any way torn cr mangled bv the use of dull instruments. Plant tissue is like human flesh; a cut from :; sharp tool heals s the- tips of the grass, find their way into the sard. They will decay t'nd cuse trouble if alK wrd to remain. G. S.

During tJie period that the callus is forming they must be care- fully tended, as the least tendency to dryness results in wilting, followed by leaf-sheddiiig when the cutting, even though it does form nice roots, will be practically worthless and had better be dumped. They are also very sensitive at this ])eriod to over watering, which has practically the same effect. Just r.s soon as the roots are formed, even when they are only one quarter of an inch iii length, they should be potted, as no rose shows deterioi"ation iu the sand so quickly. During tJie whole of the time they are in the cutting bench particular pains must be taken in shading. Having sucii heavy foliage to support it takes veiy little direct sunshine to dry the life out of the leaves. I frequently see shading done in the old, caaeless and slipshod method; viz., by a mass of old news- papers spread over and lying on the cut- tings. This is a custom which cannot Ijo too earnestly deprecated. Apart from the injury* done to the cuttings by the weight of the paper, they do not servo the purpose intended, as it is nearly impossible to keep them from blowing ofif. They also serve as a condenser of the moisture and conserve the heat among the foliage which will, if anything can, heJp in denuding the cuttings of their lea\es. A roll (.f very thin eheeseloth arranged at almut fifteen inches above the sand and made so that it can be withdrawn or rolled up immediately the direct rays of the snn have left the bench suits the case admiralily. They should have all the light possible, in order to keep the leaves hard and crisp, so that they may be able to make full use of them when the roots are once formed. Requiring a deal of care and systemat- ic attention, it will certainly pay us to give tJ\em of the best, they being of all our roses the ihost impatient of neglect in their earlier stages and as neglect in the cutting bench is responsible for many of the after troubles which affe/'t tlii'^ rose, look to its well-being now. ElBES. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Perhaps not nuich. Long familiarity" with the strange, awkward and faut^astic names of men, localities, cities and towi;s make us forget or cease to notice their crude and unpoetical sound. Most men inherit their family name from their father, and if they are not pleased with it iu after years, it costs, iu some couu- ti-ies, a good sum to legally adopt another. 1 remember a most estimable gentleman who inherited the family name of Cat, and it cost liim $.5,000 in England to a.s- sume the name of Belden, or some such name, and shortly afterwards this studi- ous man of leisure was reading a book while in the saddle. The horse was al-o in a reverie, possibly meditating on some metaphysical subject, or oats, and bolli went over the brink of a chalk pit and life went out of both. But everyone who has changed his name has not met with that melancholy end. That was on the beautiful south downs of Old Eng- land. Of all the British names of rivers, mountains and lakes, and I think 1 could say also the towns and cities, those of Scotland undoubtedly are the most pleasant, and Ireland is nest. The Welch are, of course, unpronounceable, unless you speak the language, and the English are cold and harsh. There is noth'" musical in Thames, or Humber, or Cam. Olengariy, Ijoch Lomond, Kentyre ajid Blair Athol have a warmth and richness, and even Tipperary and Kilkenny as.so- ciates you with such a rich, mossy brogue tliat you feel slightly, elated. Unfortu- nately too many of our American anil Canadian towns and cities are named after . old English . towns, or the man who first arrived.' If. a Mr. Potts emi- grated to Pennsylvania in 1742 he built a house and called it Pottsville. Toronto was called Little York up to seventy years ago; then some ])(»<)ple of good taste had it changed to the beautiful name it now bears. Mr. .Innes founded .lonesville, and Mr. Tubbs, Tubbsville. And what sounds very absurd at first hearing is the little country villages inhabited by peo- ple wIm never heard of the classical cities for which their four corners are named. Athens, Daricn, Antioch, etc. Of all the mimes, not only appropriate but pleasant and poetical, for cities and states, the Indian names must be acknowledged by all to have the prctcrence. And many of them, thank goodness, have been most wisely adopted. Perhaps names are largely accidental, after all, so I had better get to the point. We can name a new flower or a new baby what we like, aiul it's a pity that after ten thousand names had been sug- gested for .John Breitun-yer & Sons' beau- tiful new rose that no prettier name i-ould hav(» been selected than La Detroit. We have already heard disappointment exjiressed in several quarters. It is neither descriptive nor pretty. If an as- sociation of the locality from which ik was sent out was desired, why not have christened it Cadillac or St. Clair? A young florist unacquainted with conti- nental I^uropean languages asked the writer what the ''La" meant. I told him, of course, it was because the rose was a "la la." What a pity a name could not be found as beautiful as Sun- set or JMcteor or even Bride or Brides- maid! There is nothing musical or eu- phonious about the name Detroit, beauti- ful as the City of the Straits is iu itself. If we are going to name new varie- ties of onr florists' flowers after the cities where the.y originate, I can think of sev- eral pleasant results. There is a man in the state of Xew York has a cross be- tween an American Beauty and an Aus- trian Briar; it's a sort of a chestnut shade, and I shall suggest that he name it after his town, which is Horseheads. 178 The Weekly Florists^ Review. December 17, 1903. Then there is a promising seedling carna- tion in Hornellsville, N. Y.; that's a lirotty name. If you get a rose that i~ inclined to sjiurt too much you might call it Sing Sing. And why stick to your native town? The next dark carnation that beats The President, Mr. Ward might name Timbuetoo, aud the writer has a sort of ochre yellow which we are goinn to call Constantinople. Mrs. Jones, or Our Mary Ann, or Lafayette McMul- len will do very well for gladioli and dahlias that come and go quickly, but a rose that is likely to be grown by every- one and constantly on the lips of every florist and flower lover should have a prettier name than La Detroit. But I am glad it was an angelic woman who got the prize. They have, amoiiy other divine gifts, the majority of all the inspiration that is sent into the world. But my inspiration would have suggested simply Our Phil. COM.IKCHE. A PROGRESSIVE RETAILER. Chicago has a reputation to sustain in the matter of hustling and the florists, growers, wholesalers and retailers, are doing their share to maintain the city's credit undiminished in this respect. Among the most progressive of the store men few- are more active than August Lange. Everything is grist which comes to his mill and his two stores on Monroe street, opposite the Palmer House, han- dle immense quantities of both cut flow- ers and pot plants. He was one of the first to see the advertising value of large window displays and in many other ways he has reached out for new trade until he has built up a very good business. Mr. Lange is 35 years old, a native of Berlin. He has been in the retail flow- er business since he was 13, having begun as a boy in the store of James Farrell in Chicago in 1881. For a time he was a partner in the tlrm of Harmes & Lange. First he was located at 189 N. Clark and in the World 's Fair year at 111 .State street, in IsKT he opened for him- self at his present location on Monroe street. Doing a profitable trade the first year there, last year his business was three times that of the first season. Last April Mr. Lange opened the Floraba, only a couple of doors from his other store. Miss Ida Lange is now in charge there and both places are doing well. Mr. Lange has attended many conven- tions of the S. A. F., but he will always look back upon the Omaha meeting as the best of all, for there he made the acquaintance of the lady who is now Jlrs. Lange. She is a sister of Mrs-. Swoboda, wife of the junior partner in the Omaha firm of Hess & Swoboda. CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Two Crops From One House. We have a house, 20x100, and think of putting in mums next year. This house has solid beds and we thought of planting some early varieties and hav- ing enough late sorts plantea m boxes outside, so that when th« early ones are cut we can bring in the late ones and set them in the bed. Our idea is to get two crops of mums from one house. Could it be done! A. B. C. I would say that it can be done, but whether it would pay is another ques- tion. By growing kinds like Fitzwygram, Marquis dp Montmort, etc., and taking the early bud the flowers can be cut away before October 1 and the later varieties planted out in boxes could be rushed in to iUl the space. There are several objections to the plan. One is that the early flowers would come in so early that they would be competing with asters and dahlias in the market. The earliest flowers of lale years have brought only a poor price. The grower knows what his market wants and what he could get, so he is the best judge of that particular point. Another objection is that growing plants outside in pots or boxes is a very unsatisfactory method. Every insect that comes along takes a shy at them and they get alternately washed out and burned up in this delightful climate of ours, so that when housing time comes they are about ready for the rubbish heap. A. B. C. will also run his chances on getting caught by an early frost, which is generally due in his section about September 20. Rather than grow the late stock in pots or boxes outside, if T were going August Lange. to try it, I think I would plant my stock 1)1 the open ground and pinch it until .Inly 1. This would give plants which woidd be dwarf enough to lift without much inconvenience to them at that time, if the house be well shaded for a few days after planting, and the late stop- ping or pinching would throw the buds- late, so that they would be very small at the time the plants were lifted. My candid advice to A. B. C. would be not to bother with it. Get one good crop of mums and then fill in with Easter lilies or something of that description aud I think the balance at the end of the year will be larger. Brian Boku. THE CHRYSANTHEMUM IM 1903. The following are the remarks of Ar- thur Herrington, president of the Chrv santhemum Society of America, before the Farmers'. Club and Horticultural Section of the American Institute at Xeiv York, December 9: Exhibitions. Reviewing the season that has just closed, the fact is self-evident that the chrysanthemum still holds undisputed sway as the queen of autumn, and ■>■•' shoiild anyone look with disfavor up-- the supremacy the flower holds in its brief season? Roses, carnations and even the aristocratic orchids are with us throughout the year, and the fragrant violet is obtainable a large portion of the year, but there comes a time when all of these flowers are subordinated to the chrysanthemum. The enthusiasm for the flower shows no abatement and there is no necessity to advance reasons for its general pc. larity. The present year has probably seen more floral exhibitions held in chry- santhemum time than ever before, at " would seem to justify the claim that the chrysanthemum is the prime factor there- in. Nor does this apply to our country alone, as European papers, especially those from England, bring reports of numerous exhibitions and in small coun- try towns as well as the large center.s of population. Without any available figures to sub- stantiate the assertion, it may be stated with little fear of contradiction that the exhibitions held in chrysanthemum time greatly exceed in number the aggregate of the balance of the year, and while their primary object is to display the chrysanthemum in all its variety and per- fection of beauty, we are accomplishinsx something more. In proportion to their patronage by the general public they must surely be an effective influence in Ijromoting the growth of floricuhure, the love of flowers with lesultant bene- fits accompanying to those engaged in the profession. Have we not in the past taken a too narrow-minded view of the results of our exhibitions in apprais- ing their success solely on tlie basis of gate receipts? We may be pardoned for expressing mutual congratulations upon the recent successful exhibition held in Xew York, and especially in point of at- tendance. It is idle to suppose the in- fluence and effect of that grand exhibi- tion ceased with the closing of its doors. It must have aroused a spirit of emula- tion in some who saw it, a desire to grow, themselves, such flowers as were there displaj'ed. Close observation of the attendant crowds forcibly demonstrated another fact. It has become a fad of a few, ot late, to decry the big blooms as coarse and unlovely; in fact, ugly, some will hay. This is not the verdict of the p-e ■ cral public. It refuses to put its seal of approval upon artistic disquisitions that claim the maximum of beauty is found in diminished size. While in the crysan- thenium there is variety of form and of size, too, to gratify all tastes, the bi" blooms will appeal to. and win the ad- miration of the vast majority and the ■■how that has thousands of them will be a popular show if the fact is publicly known. Within the last two years our exhibi- tions appeared to be more or less domi- nated by a few viarieties and rearranee- ment of schedules was considered to c-" rect this fault. It has been corrected in a much more satisfactory manner. It was hard to avoid the dominance of Appleton and Eaton when they wen' giants in a class almost alone. Wliat has the present season shown? Many more giants forthcoming, of variable form and hue. We had a slight foretaste last year in the appearance of some Aus- tralian novelties. A new source of sup ply had been tapped, which raised our ex- pectations to the highest pitch. The realization has been rich indeed and the salient feature of this year's ex- hibitions, wherever they displayed the Decembek 17, 1903. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 179 newest varieties, lias been the all-round superiority, the surpassing excellence of the Australians, supplemented by quite a t'e«' sterling acquisitions from Englisli and French raisers. American contriblitions to the chrysan- themum in 1903 appear to have been out- classed, but mention should be made of Yellow Eaton, which, although but a sport, has proved even better than its parent.

The chrysanthemum has shown facility •of adaptability to the cultural condi- tions necessitated by the climate of our eastern and middle states and we have made it a greenhouse plant entirely. Eu- ropean growers are able to have their plants in the open air for several months, but the man who attempts to follow this practice beneath North American skies is foredoomed to failure. But even with the plants beneath the glass all the time eternal vigilance must prevail, and varying conditions must b;> observed and counteracted if unfavor- able in tendency. No two seasons are exactly alike and the lines of treatment that have brought marked success in one may have to b9 materially modified in or- der to. achieve the same success the fol- lowing year. The past season has been of a peculiarly trying nature. The sum- jner months were excessively wet, but ifavora-ble to the growth of the plants. A continuance of this weather far into the autumn led to an adverse couilitiou of things, as when the buds were taken the plants lacked that essential stability brought about by a proper ripening of the wood, as we know it, and hence were badly handicapped from the start for the future development and perfection of the flower. October, unusually warm, further ag- gravated the evil by hastening the ad- vancement of the blooms and a continu- ance of warm, humid nights caused con- siderable damping of the blooms, in tho collections of some growers to a most disastrous extent. The thought naturally arises, how can .this be prevented. Again, why does .'i certain variety suffer and another grow- ing beside it prove immune. Oiie exam pie may be cited. A batch of Jeannio Falconer is ruined iu a day and next ii a batch of Miss Alice Byron remains perfect. Of course it is easy to say that certain varieties are soft, but after all wo have seJn this year of effect, can- not some research be made to throw more light on the cause. Observation has taught us to note generalities that are predisposing causes, but it would seem possible to pursue in- vestigations deeper, to the extent of even making a microscopical examination and analysis of the tissues of plant and flow- er. If some of our experiment stations would take up this matter, ably equippetl as they are, more light might be thrown upon the cause of this perplexing trou- ble. Meanwhile the grower does the best he can to maintain a dry, buoyant atmos- phere in the house and a slight shade has also proved very beneficial in arresting tho evil. Those who do not grow ex- hibition flowers tell us they have none of these troubles, but this is poor con- solation. Granteil that damping of the hldcmis is an attendant evil to intent cultivation, the problem is how to rectifv the evil. We have seen too much of the effect ; we need now to know more of NOTE The Editor is pleased when a Beader presents his ideas on any subject treated In the SEVIEW.

T. E. in regard to a broken gasket, page 136. 1 was recently iu the store of Joseph Kift & Son and Mr. Kift showed me a leak iu his sectional boiler and asked me the best thing to do with it. A stream nearly as thick as a small lead pencil was running into the fire box. I at once said that he would have to get a new section put in the boiler. Mr. Kift said it had leaked once before and ho had put brau in the boiler and it had stopped it and he would try it again. I saw him a few days afterwards and inquired how the boiler was doing and he told me it was all right. 1 Ihought it was the cheapest way of get- ting a "bran" new boiler that I had heard of. It is worth trying. Joseph Heacock. The Eeview does the selling but it ■e foliage dry, as they are very susceptible to a disease very much resembling mildew, which is also very contagious and is induced b.y too much moisture in the air or by having the foliage in a state of dampness. The leraedy for this trouble is to dust the foliage with flowers of sulphur, taking care not to allow any of it to reach the soil, as it has a very debilitating effect on this class of plants. The most suitable soil is a fibrous peat, with about one-fourth of clean sharp sand. A few broken pot-sherds mixed with the compost serves to keep it porous .'iiid sweet. This must be rammed very firmly around the ball, so that the water may percolate slowly and evenly. Care must be taken when potting not to get the plant either too deep or too shallow. If too deep in the least degree the plant will rot off nt the neck and if too shal- low the sun will destroy the roots. Am- ple and perfect drainage must be pro- vided. During the summer they should bo placed out of doors in a dry and airy sit- uation, where they can have the benefit of full sunshine. The plants should be placed on inverted flower pots or bricks and sufficient moss put into the frame to entirely cover the pots, so that the very fine roots may be protected from the hot sunshine. It is safer to have the frames so arranged that the sash can be used during a very wet spell. These plants should be pruned annu- ally. As soon as the flowering season is 180 The Weekly Florists' Review. December 17, 1903. over the stronger stems >ihoiild be out bai'k to within im ini-h of the older wood and the weaker side growths should also be out back, but uot so much. The greatest drawback to the success- ful culture of heaths in this country is improper soil, our peat beiug so deiicieut in liber. llany growers make use of imported peat, with a small admixture of light, fibrous loam. Others use the na- tive article with a mixture of cocoa iiber, and with success. Where the mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia, flourishes, good soil for this purpose can always be had, as they really do as well in this as in the imported peat. Where there is any sus- picion of lime in the water it is safer to use rain water, as lime is fatal to the erica. Rises. STEM ROT. The following are the remarks ot James W. Punford before the St. Louis Florists' Club on December 10: There is no disease known to the car- nation grower that causes more heart aches, more discussion and more empty places in bench and tield, than stem-rot. Nor is there any insect that preys on the divine flower that we dread like this most modern disease, stem-rot. A few ye;irs ago it was practically unknown. In the good old times when any time before frost was early enough to plant from the field, and long-stemmed flowers early in the season were scarce, we did not know what troubles were in store for us. Who knows an effective remedy for this disease? Did you ever hear of onef I had hoped to give you something ne.v on this subject but am not able to. My personal views and deductions are given below. None of them are guaranteed and I reserve the right to change any of them at any time. Stem-rot is inherited. This I think is positive. Never propagate from diseased plants or unhealthy look- ing ones. Never buy rooted cuttings from anyone who sells at staiwation prices, for you may be sure that care was not taken in the selection of his cuttings. Don 't plant cuttings in soil, or pot them, unless they have plenty of roots; give them a good start. Keep young stock cool and don't plant in ricli soil. I believe that any sudden check in the growth of any carnation plant, un- less counterbalanced by the proper treat- ment is most conducive to stem-rot. Any soil heavily enriched with stable manure and planted with the healthiest stock will develop the disease. This is certain; any part of a bench that gets much drip from leaks in the gutters, or any part that through carelessness got too much fertilizer, will prove a bon- anza for stem-rot. Summer blooming carnations that are mulched for econ- omy 's sake, will in a wet season go like lambs to the slaughter. Carnations planted too deeply also succumb. One of the worst things to do is to give too much water when plants are put in the houses. Sterilizing the soil by baking, in houses, or the steaming process, will certainly kill all germs in the soil, but will not prevent the disease. There ;= no effective remedy known for stem-rot. If a variety persists in giving way to the trouble after you have done your best, throw it out. Remove all plants from the field as soon as affected. Don 't plant too deeply. Don't be too liberal with your fertilizer; be satisfied to make up for the deficiencies later in the season ■when the plants are growing nieelv. Lime is good for more reasons than one, and is said to kill a few of the germ-.; try it by mixing some in the benches be- fore you plant. Water liglitlv until the plants are well established "and don't plant in any place where there will be a drip every time it rains. I have found that in a variety like Crane, which seems to take tlie disease more than any other kind, tliat cuttings rooted in Februa'- and March, planted in the field from 2- inch pots were nuieh mere satisfactory than older and bigger plants. We must improve our methods. ■ The time is past when anything and any war will do. Did you ever try plants that were put in the field from 2-inch or 21/..- inch, cool grown and not pot bound. Just try them. These are the ones that hold the dirt when transplanted to lienchos. This early planting seems to make it imperative that we make more and more of an effort to guard against all checks to growth at any stage, for it comes at .-just the time when nature says. ' • You would better leave well enough alone for a month or two. ' ' I intend to plant almost entirely from 2-inch pots to the field. It seems to me the time is not far distant when we shall plant our carna- tions largely from 3 and 3io-inch pots, the first week in June, .just as roses are planted. Why not? I tried some one .vear planted June 1 from 2-inch pots and they grew like weeds and made fine stems and had no stem-rot. You will note that I have not burdened you with the Latin name of this disease. It is not necessary; .just plain stem-rot is good or bad enough. Our only hope is that some genius will find a remedy or that we can build the carnation up- constitu- tionally, so that it will be ablr^ to s;.y boo to stem-rot without danger of infec- tion. CHICAGO. The Market. Local trade has been very dull this week, possibl.v largely due to the ver.v severe cold weather which arrived on Sun- day and which has made the growers a great deal of trouble, for many were un- ])repared for from 10 to 17 degrees below zero. It has made the consumption of coal very great and even some of the big growers had no more than a couple of da.vs' supply on hand. Shipping trade is not as active as it lias been in re- cent weeks, but receipts are light and good stock is going out tairlv well. There are still large supplies of Beau- ties, and tea roses are plentiful. Good Brides and Maids sell out clean each day and verv good prices are realized for some of the extra select stock, but there are quantities of the lower grade mate- i-ial which are hard to move at any price. Chatenay is in good supply and of excellent quality. Sunrise and Carnot are also seen in first-class shape, but in not very large supplies. Liberty is first- class with one or two growers, but in gen- eral not very long in stem. Carnations continue as in the past two or three weeks, with prices holding up well. Every now and then, however, a wholesaler hangs on to a couple of hun- dred good flowers rather than make a small concession in price and cai-ries them over until the next day, with the result that the.T lose half their value. The trade seems to prefer the medium qual- ities, and it is unsafe to hold high grade stock, and the low grade material is hard to sell at $1 a hundred. Violets are plentiful, again, with prices going no higher than $1.50 per hundred. There is good demand for Harrisii lilies and valley is selling very well. Green goods of all desiri]ilions are plentiful. Christmas Prospects. The near approach of the holida.ys docs uot see an.y great unanimity of opinion as to supplies or prices. There are those who believe that receipts will be very light and others have conceived the idea that stock will be plentiful. Orders are not coming in very rapidly, but there is every other indicatiou of good business before the arrival of Christmas. It is to be hoped that the growers will not pickle their stock, because the market at present is declining to take anything that bears the marks of age. Anj' carnation grower who holds back stock on such 3 market as this is defeating his own ob- .fcct and with plenty of roses in the mar- ket it will be foll.y to accumulate any quantities of Brides and Maids, for the quality is sure to be apparent. The Monthly Exhibition. The third of tlie Chicago Florists' Club's monthly trade exhibitions was held in the Atlas block yesterday afternoon. Christmas plants were shown, also roses and carnations, the exhibition being on the whole very creditable, for holiday plants have never been largely grown for this market. The greatest variety of stock was shown by J. P. Kidwell & Bro., who had Piersoni and Boston ferns, Asparagus plumosus, crotons, azaleas, dracaenas, camellias, primroses, tulips and poinset- tia.s'. all in good shape. J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, sent three fine Lorraine be- gonias. Kalous Bros., who are the cham- pion cyclamen growers in this neighbor- hood, showed some splendid plants. Kuehne & Pearson had rubbers. \V. L. Palinskv showed azaleas and asparagus. The Garfield Park Floral Co. (Oechslin Bros.), brought some of the best poin- settias ever seen here, dwarf, stocky, big headed plants in pans. They also had good azaleas, mignonette and cyclamens. The George Wittbold Co. exhibited palms, pandanuses, asparagus and made up baskets of plants. Vaughan 's had a nice lot of plants, including some very fine imported hollies, both green and varie- gated. Leopold Koropp showed two made-up baskets of plants. In cut flowers, the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, showed a vase of wonderful Golden Gate roses, also an equally good vase of Fiancee carnation, which gets bet- ter every time it is shown here. They also had Lawson, Harlowarden and Crusader in good shape. Nathan Smith & Son sent a half dozen blooms of John Bur- ton chrysanthemum, light pink and very good for so late in the season. Peter Reinberg showed his new rose. Uncle John. L. E. Marquisee, of Syracuse, sent a vase of Flamingo camaHon, but it had not traveled well. F. F. Benthey was the manager of the show. A club meeting was held in (he evening. Various Notes. Flint Kennicott has been on the sick list for two weeks and is just getting around again. J. A. Budlong has bought glass for two new greenhouses, 30x.'?00, for carnations. This will leave him just room for two more such houses, and he may conclude to fill up his lot this season. DCCEMBliE IT, 10()3. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 181 Sinner Bros, have sold their entire stock of the folding Cliristmas bells with- out doing more than partially supplying the demand. The other supply dealers are also reporting good sale for Christ- mas bells. The bowlers met at Mussey's alleys Tuesday evening for the last praetiec match until the regular handicap tourn- ament is started early in the new year. W. A. Peterson, the nurser3-man, was proposed for membership in the Florists' Club last night. H. Kruchten is one of the few growers who are fortunate in having a good crop of carnations on for Christmas. D. C. Noble, of Columbia City, Ind., i> sending in some of the finest Lawson car- nations which reach this market. E. E. Pieaer reports that he has never seen so many frozen shipments from tlic growers .as have been caught this week. P. Jl. Broadbeck, who is one of the most careful shippers, lost his entire eousign- meul coming in from Evanston Sunday morning. Bou(|uet green is worth about .$8.50 in this market this week. At this price it hanlly jiays to make it into wreathing at *:t.')ti to '.$4 per 100 yards. Holly is plentiful and all the supply houses are busy making up wreaths. S. Garland, Jr., at Des Plaines, has one of the few fine lots of Adonis carna- tion in this" vicinity. He bought 500 plants and lost about 1.50 in the field; the rest are in fine health. Thos. H. Best. Aviio was with S. iluir, has gone to Akron, O., to enter into part- nership with E. J. Bolauz, Peter Rcinberg says he A^ill plant from 20,0110 to 30,000 of his new r.ise. LTncIe John, next year. He has another novelty on his place of which he thinks highly. It is Perle Yon Godesberg, which was sent iput in 190J and is i-atalogued by Peter Lambert as a yclk^w sport > f Kaiserin. i AValtei- Kreitling had the decorations ' at the Cliicago Club- last Friday for the dinner to the principal representatives of the three leading wholesale dry goods houses of the city. He put $300 in stock on the table, mostly Beauties. Mr. Kreit- ling also has the annual New i' ear's dee- ] oration at the C!hicago Club. i Geii. Wittlx>ld Co. had one of the largest decorations of the year at the Auditorium on Tue.sday evening, for tlie bal poudre for the b"neflt of St. Luke's Hospital. Slyer Heller, of New Castle, was a visitor this week. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Business continues excellent, with prices advancing, especially on carna- tions. The figures oljtained for anything worth having of tlie divine flower are so high as to deter many customers from buying. The growers who do not take advantage of this opportunity and ship their stock as fast as it is ready, will make a serious blunder, as it is improb- able tluit prices, even at Christmas, will average much higher, while any stale stock will liring almost nothing. White and red caniations are bringing better prices than pink of the same grade. Mrs. Lawson, so largely planted by many growers, should iirove very profitable at . j market rate.s. Prosperity is very late f this Sf-ason, few being seen. The short- age of carnations has increasett tne de- mand for other flowers, whicti are selling unusually well. Roses, especially Beauties and Liber- ties, are eagerly sought. The cold weath- er is helping to make stock of very fine (juality, especially roses. As Christmas approaches the bright colors are more appreciated than the paler shades. There will be plenty of poinsettias to meet the demand. Orchids will be verj- scarce for Christmas, but the general feeling ap- pears to be that we shall experience a iieavy holiday business, with enough stock to meet the demand. Valley is in good demand ; violets rather scarce. Philadelphia Flower Market. Tlie h'KviKW t;ikcs pleasure in present- ing its readers this week witli a repro- duction of a photograph taken at the Philadelphia Flower Market. The view slions a section of the stalls, some choice stock and some of those who have made the place. Charles E. JNIeehan, who has made such a splendid record as manager, is standing at the right in the picture. By him, is the lady, evidently a lover ot carnations, who presides over the bcoks. Her associate in this department was unfortunately rjetained by a customer who wajitcd his liill. These customers are unknown outside the Quaker City. Above these two on the right of the line on the stalls is William Stevens, who so ably represents John Burton, presi- dent of the S. A. F. Next to him is the junior partner of the Beauty grow- ing firm of Myoi's & Samtman. Just think, these tAvo quiet looking men con- trol most of the fine Beauties brought into the Market. The next man is Geo. F. Kruegcr, of Narberth, brother of the dealer in the Reading Terminal. The second man beyond the column is a violet grower namecl Bloomer, an inspiration to his stock. Then comes George Water- field, of Wyudnioor; then Frank Hast- ings, of F. and IL Mergenthaler; next to him is the famous Doylestown grower. R. G. Palmer. This trio is all important in the tea rose market. Next comes Edgar T'liton, who represents another Beauty place, .7. AV. Young's, a vase of Liberty near him. Carefully guarding a pot "marked R. G. P., is Robert Gaul, of the Market 's pony battery. Below him, with the lilies, is his iissociate, Jlax .Tanow. Next but one to the end is Lovett, of Wieland 's, at Newtown, a well known place. Richard XJmphried, the cheery assistant manager, is filling a car- nation order just annind tlie corner. In the background can be seen the stand- of Whetstone & Co., and the Henry F. Miehell Co. Various Notes. H. H. Battles has quantities of fine poinsettias in one of his houbcs at Thorn Hedge, at Newtown Square. F. S. .Jack- son has managed this stock cleverly. Hugh Graham has a handsome Christ- mas window, a large specimen Pandanus Sanderi, which lights up beautifully, and a bunch of poinsettias tied T\-ith holly red ribbon. Ernest Heming addressed the German- town Horticultural Society at the month- ly meeting on Monday evening. Representatives of some of the lead- ing out of town firms are in the city this week doing their Christmas shop- ping. The yellow primrose has made a hit. Plants in 4-ineh pots that wholesale at 3.5 cents each, have retailed at .$1. pret- tily .dressed in crepe paper to harmonize. fhe business being done in holly, mis- tletoe and other greens is enormous, Arthur Mallon, Jr., who has made such a success of Louis Burk 's place at Olny, has accepted an offer to take charge of George McFaddon 's place at Rosemont. A. Farenwald is sending in a magnifi- cent lot of special Liberties to Leo Nie3- sen. C. A. Dunn & Co. have made their annex attractive by a bright display of scarlet immortelles. W. J. Baker has been handling some fine Stevia serrata. H. C. Geiger states that his fii-m, the Floral Exchange, will cut 30,000 tea roses during the second half of this month. Myers & Samtman are cutting quanti- ties of fine Beauties. Phil. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Last Saturday- we were treated to some real winter weather. A big snow storm raged all afternoon and the glass went down to zero before Sunday morning. It is reported that .some consignments cama in frozen on Sunday morning. The busi- ness the past week among the retailers was very good in funeral work only; out- side of this kind of work it was only fair. Our retailers are all busy making up wreathing and wreaths for Christmas sales. Ground pine is scarce and the commission men are asking as high as $12 per crate of 100 pounds. Holly is very- plentiful and cheap and of very fine quality. With the Christmas holidays close at hand, there is much speculation as to the amount of stock this market is going to have ami the retailers hope that the growers will not engage in any pickling and hold stock back until the last dav, as prices are almost as high now as they will be for Christmas, iluch, of course, depends on the weather, which is verv changeable at this time of the year. At the present time there are enough flow- ers in the market for the demand. The supply of carnations is large and most of the flowers are of a fancy order, e.speciallv those sent in by Henry Baer, of Peoria. III., and H. W, Tide, Jr.. of Kirk\\ood, Mo. Their Enchantress, Queen Louise and Lawson are fine. These com- mand as high as 6 and 7 cents each. Other varieties bring $4 and only com- mon sorts bring *3 per 100. In roses the supply is large in the second class stock; extra selects are scarce and in good de- mand at $10 per 100. Beauties are sell- ing high and are not in oversupply, those of .1. F. Ainmaun. of Edwardsville, being of the best. For extra fancy $10 per doz- en is a.sked and from that down to $3 per dozen for fair stock. Belle Miller's Carnots are in great demand at from $« to $10 per 100. Other stock from her place sells well. Yiolets seem plentiful just now and we hope they will continue so until after the holidays; $1 per 100 is the price to date. Romans, Paper Whites and vallev are in good supply at the usual prices. Christmas prices will be about the same as those quoted by the Chicago florists in our last big issue. Florists' Club Meeting. The St. Louis Florists' Club held one of the largest attended meetings of the year last Thursday afternoon, thirty-one members being present and several dis- 182 The Weekly Florists' Review. Decembek 17, 1903. tinguished visitors. There was also a fine exhibition of cut flowers, among them being a fine vase of the new Breitmeyer rose, La Detroit, and an extra tine vase of Corner's new white carnations. Lady Bountiful and The Belle. These were exhibited by C. A. Kuehn. Two essays were read, one from Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, N. Y., on ' ' Greenhouse Heating," and the other by J. W. Dun- ford, on "Stem-rot," both being well received. Mr. Scott 's essay was read by ex-President Fillmore. Both gentlemen received a hearty vote of thanks by the club. The meeting opened at 2:30, with all the officers pres- ent. John Koenig and Theo. Klocken- kemper were elected to membership b^- a full vote. F. W. Bruenig and Henry Felter made application for membership. Mr. Brown, of London, England, who has charge of the landscape work of the British pavilion at the World's Fair grounds, was elected an honorary member of the club. The resignation of A. S. Halstedt was read and accepted. The carnations exhibited by F. Dorner & Sons Co., of Lafayette, Ind., the judges, Messrs. Winter, Steidel and Dun- ford, voted very fine, having all the re- quirements of first-class carnations. Th'^ Breitmeyer rose, La Detroit, was voted a first-class pink rose by Messrs. Am- mann, Fillmore and Emmons. The cut flowers were much admired and were one of the attractions of the meeting. After Mr. Scott's essay a discussion was led by Max Herzog on "Green- house Heating, ' ' which was partic- ipated in by Messrs. Dunford, Em- mons, Ammann, Tide, Winter and Fillmore. This was one of the fea- tures of the meeting which was much enjoyed by the members. Mr. Brown made a few remarks on greenhouse heat- ing from an English standpoint and joined in the discussion. The hour was growing late and the question box was laid over until the next meeting. For the next meeting of the club Wal- ter Gilles, of the Missouri Botanical Gar- den, will read an essay on ferns and a discussion will be led by F. J. Fillmore on propagating roses. This meeting will be held on Thursday afternoon, January 14, at 2 o'clock. Club Notes. Fred Ammann and Henry Emmons were the only members present from across the river. From Kirkwood, Vice-President Win- ter, H. G. Ude, F. W. Ude, Jr., and W. J. Pilcher were in attendance. Those from Clayton were J. AV. Dunford, John Steidel and R. F. Tesson. A new order of business has been in- augurated by the president at the meet- ings, that is to announce. ' ' Does any member wish to become a member of the S. A. F.?" By this six new members were added. State Vice-President Chas. Juengel is a very regular attendant and was busy talking up S. A. F. membership and succeeded in capturing a few. Mr. Hummell and Walter Gilles, of the Missouri Botanical Garden, enjoyed the meeting very much and will not miss many after this. Mr. Brown and Wm. Bouche, from the World 's Fair grounds, came together and were much taken with the proceedings and promised to come often. The club now has sixty-seven members and it is expected by the time of the Societv of American Florists meets here in August, the membership will reach 100, and efforts will be made after the first of the year to accomplish this. Charlie Kuehn and Frank Ellis, two of our wholesale men, were very much interested at the meeting. These two gentlemen never miss a meeting. After the meeting adjourned the mem- bers missed Carl Beyer, Theo. Miller and Frank Ellis. They were afterwards found in a nearby bowling alley. Messrs. Pilcher, Koenig and Kuehn promised not to talk chickens at the next meeting. Various Notes. Henry Baer, of Peoria, 111., spent t\\" days with us the past week, calling on tin- trade. Eodger Peterson, of Cincinnati, was in town Friday, showing fine Gloire de Lor- raine begonias to the trade at Suehn'-;, Miss Belle Miller, of Springfield, 111., spent a day in .St. Louis last week, bu ing Christmas presents. Mr. Gullett, of Lincoln, 111., came down on an excursion to see the sights, but was caught by the big snow storm, which prevented his going out to thr World 's Fair grounds. The past week the Missouri Horticul tural Society held its forty-sixth annual meeting at Columbia, Mo., and many the leading horticulturists of the state attended. Charles M. Figeley, representing E. H. Hunt, of Chicago, is with us this week in the interest of bulbs and florists' sup- plies. Shaw Banquet. At the Mercantile Club last Fridin' night the fourteenth annual banquet was given to florists, nurserymen and garden- ers by the directors of the Missouri Bo- tanical Garden. The attendance was nc t quite so large as usual. The entertain- ment furnished by Messrs. Kessler aini Taylor, of the World's Fair, was one of the' features. They gave stereopticoM views of the landscape work and buiM- ings at the World 's Fair grounds and lec- tured on them. Prof. Wm. Trelea.so acted as toastmaster in his usual hap]iy style. Among the florists who attenilid were Emil Schray, J. F. Ammann, J. W. Dunford,* E. F. Tesson, Frank Fillmore, Max Herzog, Otto Koenig, C. C. Sanders, Theo. Miller, Wm. C. Young, E. W. Guv. F. K. Balthis, E. J. Mohr, C. J. .Tuengcl, J. J. Beneko and others. Andrew ileyer. Jr., our renowned park superintendent, was also present, but Park Commissioner Anil failed to come. The decorations were, as usual, very tasty. Bowling. The last bowling before the holidays was done Monday night, with only a few present. Mr. Warren, of Louisville, Ky., was a visitor.

O'Neil, Wheeling, W. Va. Club Meeting;. The last club meeting for the year de- veloped an attendance of over fifty mem- bers and a most happy and harmonious time. Lyman B. Craw, of the Lord & Burnham Co., was elected a member and six new names were proposed. Letters of declination were read from Messrs. Birnie, Duckham, Haffner, Wheeler, Sie- brecht and Mauda, who were nominees for office. The voting for the club's of- fices resulted as follows: For president, Traendly, 17; Troy, 13; Siebreeht, 1; Beaulieu, 1. For vice-president, Traend- ly, 14; Du Rie, 9; Duckham, 3; Sie- breeht, 3. For secretary. Young, 31; Wheeler, 1. For treasurer, Weathered, 31; Nash, 2. For trustees, Wallace, 28; Elliott, 25; Long, 13; Nugent. 12; Mil- ler, 10; Thomas, 10. Mr. Traendly hav- ing received the distinguished .honor of being elected both president and vice- president, a second election for the lat- ter office resulted in the selection of Mr. Butterfield. Eloquent addresses were made by the successful candidates, in which the club's welfare was the principal theme and everything said gives promise of a stren- uous year in the hands of the new offi- cers. . Dinners, outings, bowling, exhibi- tions and interesting monthly entertain- ments being among the responsibilities, assumed. The 19U3 outing committee received the club 's vote of confidence in their unanimous election to the dinner committee and the club almost unani- mously decided upon a repetition of last year's banquet, in preference to a beef- steak dinner, notwithstanding the epi- curean eloquence of Mr. ElUott in its favor. A committee, Messrs. O'Hara, Henshaw. Plumb and Elliott, was ap- pointed to draft suitable resolutions on the deaths of George Cottam and Thomas Weathered. The committee on awards, Messrs. Leu- ker, Birnie and Miller, gave an excel- lent report on the seedling carnations shown by John Eeimels, of Woodhaven, L. I., and recommended a later exhibit of a larger number of blooms. Two va- rieties were shown, one an immense red, the parentage of Crane and Prosperity; the other a beautiful light pink, a cross of Mrs. Jas. Dean and Prosperity. Mr. Reimels has four pinks, four whites and several more reds in his collection of seedlings, samples of which he will doubt- less exhibit at the Detroit convention. The closing ceremonies included an elo- quent address by E. G. Hill, who char- acterized the former speakers of the evening as ' ' educated, briliiaiit and hand- some," giving the palm to Mr. Elliott as the best looking of the galaxy. He said the west was as busy christening new roses and raiding nei> "arnations and chrysanthemums ancf so trying to keep within srieaking distance of the Daillcdouzes, Wards, Herringtons and Duekhams of the east. He said the west- erners were up and doing and making progress, referred to the large areas of glass in Illinois, Indiana and ^Michigan and the old fear that its supply might be overdone, whereas the contrary had been most encouragingly demonstrated, flowers never having been in such de- mand nor such prices realized in the past as now. This, he said, sneaks well for the florist business. Wealth and intelli; gence are on the increase and onr busi- ness is bound to progress, as we are on the threshold of greater results than have ever been achieved. It was a niost Deck-MBKK 17, 1903. The Weekly Florists^ Review, 183 optimistic and inspiring address and was heartily appreciated by all. Mr. "Siebrecht, Mr. Traendly and Mr. Lang urged the present as an opportune hour for the formation of the New York Bowling Club for l.;04 and a do^en mem- bers were enrolled and arrangements made for active worlf the first Monday in January. Nearly all tiie prominent bowl- ers of the club signed the roll and the new year will find an enthusiastic mem- bership and the nucleus of a club that will do itself and the city credit iu the great tournament at St. Louis in August. And so ended one of the best meetings in the New York Florists' Club's his- tory. The new ofiScers are men of ex- perience, ability and untiring energy and they will give a good account of them- selves. Varioxjs Notes. Last Friday and Saturday the up state storm delayed the arrival of violets so seriously, especially the later day that thousands were left over for Sunday sales, which a terrific rain storm pre- vented, and by Monday the whole lot was unsalable. The shipments of vio- lets continue in enormous quantities and it is seldom that the specials touch the top figure of $1.50; 75 cents to $1 is high tide many a day. The high values of other years need no longer be counted on, even for the holiday trade. J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, has been here with his samples of Farleyense and Begonia Lorraine. Local oiferings of the latter are greatly in excess of last season 's supply. E. Chauroux, of Flushing, a member of the Cut Flower Exchange, died on De- cember 5. The business will be contin- ued by his son. .John Ct. Esler, of Saddle Eiver, N. J. ; C. W. Cox, of San Francisco ; J. D. Thompson, of Joliet, and E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., are recent visitors. Mr. Hill will remain several days and is visiting the leading carnation and chrys- anthemum growers' of this section. The Cut Flower Co. is handling grand Beauties from the Scarboro factory of Paul M. Pierson, where every house is devoted to this variety, and the "Beau- ty King ' ' declares he believes the Christ- mas rush will be quite up to other years. Traendly & Schenck are handling their usual superb quality of violets and among their roses Golden Gate is coming especially strong and salable. Not so long ago, it was difficult to get orders for Princess pine at 7 cents a pound ; now good stock readily commands 12 cents, the poorest grade brings 10 cents and there will be nowhere near enough to go around. Dunne & Co. have added to their sun- dries an invention by Mr. Dunne, a strap lock for valises and light trunks that is very serviceable and are having quite an extensive demand for it. Jas. McManus has been shipping cat- tleyas and Dendrobium formosum to Philadelphia, Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans and finds the demand growing rapidly. M. Rice, of Philadelphia, was in the city Tuesday, visiting friends and mak- ing fraternal calls upon the supply and wholesale houses. John J. Perkins is celebrating his thirty-first Christmas in the business this year, and has among his growers some who have been loyal : to him_over -a. quarter of a century. He is handling some special Brides and Maids and this season has a good stock of single violets for the holidavs. One of Mr. Ghormley's violet shippers is very patriotic, bunches of "red, white and blue" violets neatly arranged form- ing a uni.00 to $8.00 Brides, Fancy .

With almost any cl.-iss of plants grown under glass it is a ca.'^e of waging continual war against insects and the vegetable grower has, I think, more than the usual share to contend with. Con- ■stant vigilance is necessary to keep them in check and prevention is always better than cure. Greenfly is one of the most troublesome pests, especially in the lettuce house. and only those who have had experience in fighting it know how quickly this lit- tle fellow can nuiltiply, for it does not take it and its offspring long to make a plant look sii-kly. once they aet estali- lished. Tobacco stems freely us%d around the house is about the easiest way of up- setting their family arrangements. The stems should be tied in bundles, to pre- vent their getting scattered around, and laid on the hot water pipes. An occas- sional soaking with water will freshen the stems and when they fail to give off the desired aroma after being soaked, it is time to replace with fresh ones. On the cucumbers red spider and some- times thrips will put in their appearance, especially if the weather is such as neces- sitates Iiard firing and little air can be given. Frequent syringing is about the only preventive for these, but on account of the softness of the foliage too much force must not be used. A fine spra\' diligently applied will keep the plants clean, but to be effective it must be be- gun at an early stage of the plant's growth, before the insects put in their appearance. The white tomato fly is of more recent introduction. It is only within the last few years that it has visited this section. and of all the insect enemies we have, it is the hardest to eradicate. I believe that nothing less than that extreme measure hydrocyanic acid gas will kill it out, but as this must be used so very carefully 1 would not recommend it to those who have had no experience with it. Tobacco stems distributed as recommended for greenfly, and frequent light smokings with tobacco powder, will keep it in check. I say light smoking as heavy smoking will injure the foliage of toma- toes very quickly. I like the powder better than stems to smoke with, as it burns more slowly, never causing a dense smoke. If started in the evening it will keep burning the greater part of the night. I place a 6-ineh potful on a piece of tin, which is laid on the floor of the house, and in the center of the dust place a piece of Uve coal to start it. For a house 18x50 feet I use two potfuls, one near each end of the house. This maV"^ the smoke just about as strong as the tomato plants will stand it. W. S. Crotdox.

Sec'y and Treas.. C. E. Kenael, Cleveland, O The 22d annual meeting wUl be held at St. Louis Mo.. June. law. (,'Hic.4.G0 seems to be the center of the sweet corn disturbance at present. The Sunday Keview, of Decatur, 111., contains a write-up of J. C. Sufferu 's work in seed breeding and growing. Many of the green podded varieties of beans which it was thought would thrash out big, are falling down iu quite serious fashion. The recent report that C. C. Morse & Co., Santa Clara, Cal., have fenced their barnyard is supplemented by late advices to the effect that the fence will soon be painted. The Customs Appraiser at Philadelpliia has recently raised the valuation on sev- eral consignments of seeds from France without regard to what the stock was contracted for months ago. Cucumber tests show up a great tleai better than it was thought they would. Out of twenty dift'ereut lots tested only a few have fallen below seventy per cent. This is considered a good showing for crops harvested this year. There is one thing that must not be lost sight of when the value of sweet corn is in question. It is germination. Sweet corn that will test up to ninety per cent is of double the value of that which tests fifty to sixty per cent. Visited Cmci-GO: Chas. W. Kimber- lin. of J. M. Kimberlin & Co., Santa Clara, Cal.: C. P. Braslan, San Jose, Cal.; W. H. Johns, of Sioux City, and his brother, who has charge of the Sioux Cit.v Seed Co. growing affairs at Milling- ton, Mich. The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, re- ports that its new onion set warehouse at Jefferson Park is quite an improve- ment over the city storage formerly tised. A properly built onion house has many advantages, not the least being its added security as a frost proof shelter during zero weather. Several inquiries have reached this ofiiee desiring full information as to the new postoftice ruling applying to inserts in seed catalogues. There has been no new ruling; the same rules apply this year as last. There is a summary of all the postoflBce rules totiching third class matter to be had at any postoffice for the asking. The appearance of the 1904 issue of some of the retail catalogues is expect- ed shortly. It is hoped that the usual mesmeric sympathv will have worked in the minds of those who decide the prices. The bulk of the press work on many of the catalogues is well under wav. conse- quently any radical price changing is out of the question. The standard varie- ties, as a nde, are likely to be priced about the same as last year. There may be considerable variation in the sweet corn prices. Cucumber prices are likel.v to be quite uniform, as the shortase of that standard is well understood. Onion seed niav varv, but each individual firm has its own special stocks, which go re^ gardless of the lower or higher price quoted liy others. The standard varie- ties of onion are likely to be lower, rather than higher, as compared with last year. (ireen podded beans should be higher than last year; wax pods and poles about the same. Hubbard squash will stand an advance; other varieties in general will be about as last year. It is remarkable how uniformly ]jrice3 average up in the seed catalogues when each firm is so cautious about giving anvthing out iu advance as to what their prices will be. The source of supply is open to all, and all are used alike in the deliveries. There should be less ttneasi- ness and more harmony iu this matter of prices. The John H. Allan Seed Co. has just issued a circular letter to the trade, dated at Shebovgan. Wis., which shows a se- rious falling off from deliveries they ex- pected to make some time back. They regret that the report comes so late, but state that conditions have been so un- usual this season that nothing short of actual weighing up after milling and hand picking determines quantities. Es- timates based upon the usual conserva- tive methods of determining probable re- turns won 't hold good this year. The report covers most of the varieties of peas and beans and it will be a disap- pointment to many who have been ex- pecting better returns. SALE OF LANDRETH FARMS. .Tudge McPhersou, in the United. States District Court, en December 12, granted the petition of Bayard Henry, receiver of the bankruptcy estate of D. Landreth 's Sons, seed merchants, for leave to sell certain property of tlie estate to Burnett Landreth and S. Philip Land- reth. The proiJertv to be sold is the Bloomsdale and Eeedland farms, in Bucks county. Pennsylvania, and Bur- lington county, Xew .lerse.v, and the Court approved the price, $13,563.97. by the receiver for the farms.

Some varieties have been reduced from one-third to one-half in bulk while milling. One of the large growers states that the entire acreage of Chicago Pickle seed has been sold away from them, as well as forty acres of France and .Terse'- Pickle.

I'nder date of Waterloo, Neb.. Decem- ber 7. J. C. Robinson sends the follow- ing circular letter to the trade: I have just received the announcement of re- moval as sent out by the Western Seed and Iirijration Co., who formerly were at this place. As this announcement does not state the facts as Tjiey appear to me. I wish to make this statement; In buying out the Western Seed and Irrijration Co.'s warehouses at this place there veru some ctinditions that entered into the transaction outside of the actual money con- sideration. One of these conditions was that we were to- jointly announce the change to tlie Seed Trade, and each was to have the privilog** of sending out a personal circular letter, it being understood that such letter was to be of a satisfactory character to the other parly. ViMi liave received my oiieular letter, which was a very plain, moderate statement of the sale. Mr. Emerson's letter in behalf of the Western .Seed and Irrigation Co. is very unjust to M'aterloo, its soil, its people and its seed dealers. Emerson bettered his railroad facilities at Fremont by having the C*hicago and Xorth- Wtjsterti railroad tracks; other than this he is nu better located than before. As to the soil. I would not trade one acre of my land at Water- loo fur any two acres at Fremont, outside of the corix'rate limits of the city. On one side it is heavj- wet gumbo and on other pretty nearly clear sand, only suitable for growing peanuts, and in some years possibly watermelons. As a matter of fact, Fremont has not and never will grow vine crops successfully, and Emerson has not been getting his vine seed around Fremont; neither lias he failed with his crops here at Wateiloo, as be states, for the reason that for fuur or five years past hp has had very little indeed grown near Waterloo. We are hard struck this year. but. notwith- standing it all. we have the best soil for grow- ing vine seed that there is in the United States, but are unable to overcome floods and climatic conditions that extended fourteen miles west of us just as completely and just as destructively as here at home. We wish Mr, Emerson well at Fremont, but. believing an injustice has been done in his let- ter of announcement, we wish to state that we aro still in the ring here and purpose to be sf»mewhere near the front on the home- stret<:h. THE SEED GROWERS' TROUBLES. T note the Review closely, and as yet have seen but very little said concerning the situation of the seed grower. The last two. seasons have been generally un- satisfactory to the vine seed growers. Most growers were unable to till their or- ders complete, and under the circum- stances were unable to get any benefit of the increased values of seeds. The cost of seed production is increasing, and the increased values of seeds certainly tempt one to cut out the contract business and sell his product on the market. This will be done largely if the dealers decline paying more for seed another year. The freed famine for two years in succession will practically clean up all surpluses and. should we make full crops next year, we would have no trouble to sell SURPLUS BULBS.

The JMarkeu Eoses, carnutioiis aua mums are get- ting scarcer, and if tlie cuts keep get ting ^lighter there will be a decided shortage for the Christmas demand, and prices will probably reach .$8, $12 and $15 for roses and $3, $4, $6 and $8 f(ir carnations. A few mums will be on hand, but no prices are quoted on them. All of our rose growers are off crop, au'l there will not be any change for the better until about January 15. The car- nation growers are complaining bitterly about the small cut so far this season and unless the plants do much better than those of last season the profit on the year's work will be very small. Various Items. The weather up to Saturday was fine; then a thaw with rain set in, which made it very disagreeable, and on Sun- day it was snowing, with a high wind and the temperature about 20 degrees above. The west side florists have been very Inisy the past week, with funeral orders, the Ehrbar Floral Co. having one seven- foot broken column that required four men to handle. This was sent to tli,> funeral of one of our patrolmeu, with many other fine pieces. C. B. Wilhelniy sent out many pieces last week, and was very busy. H. Piggott was too busy to stop and tell how the new store was do- ing. C. B. Wilhelmy has cut most of Ir- mums ana says he is very sorry to ha\e them so near finished. E. NEW HAVEN. CONN. Trade has fallen off a little, which is generally the way in this city before the Christmas rush begins. If it were not for the debutantes there would have been a greater slump in the cut flower market. At the reception for Miss Fitch, bouquets of orchids, American Beauties and violets were presented. The draw- ing rooms were bowers of Bride and Bridesmaid roses, maidenhair ferns, being used for a backgrouna. Miss Chit- tenden was also presented with bouquets of roses and violets in profusion and the rooms decorated with palms and cut flowers. Holly and Christmas greens have made their appearance in great quantities and Christmas bells and chimes are seen in all the windows. You lose a cent, the price of a postal, if the samples we send you do not prove that RIGHT BIB- BOITS are better in quality and lower in price than the ribbons you are now using. Being' better in quality and cheaper, you will save m^ny cent^, (yes. dollars as wel' ) and improve the appearance of your flowers. No other mill has better facilities for manufacturinsr the 1 ight kind of ribbons for Florists to n se. Bibbons are woven and colirs dyed specially to match, and the result is a trifle advance over the usual kind.

HELLER BROS., south Park ^t^ CASTLE, IND. Flural Co.. ,» Rpview when yon wrltp. Violets seem to be the only cut flower which exceeds the demand. Eoses keep up to the demand, although red ones are being held back as much as possible. Carnations are the scarcest cut flower in the market and it is a continuous hustle to get enough to fill orders, A few sweet peas have been sold but the people of this city do not take kindly to sweet peas untH March or April. Most all the retailers have been to New York and New Jersey buying vip large stocks of cyclamen, Lorraine be- gonias and azaleas, as they expect tliis vear to be a record breaker. S. H, W.

Dark weath- er has prevailed for three weeks now, and following, as it has, a long spell of bright, warm weather, florists have been thrown off their guard and present appearances are that we will have a fine lot of stuff about the middle of .January. Of course we do not intend to try to post- pone Christmas to suit our belated com- rades, but we can only extend them our sympathy. It is a peculiar thing to note that the florists who were considered to be behind time, who were late getting their new houses built, and late getting them planted, are going to be the men who will have the heaviest cuts for Christmas. The fact of the matter is that while the florists who had their houses planted early cut their first crop scime time ago and expected their second crop for Christmas, are out, while the florist who was behind will be cutting his first crop. We don 't recommend this system, as he might not hit on this again for a long time, but 1 have mentioned this to show the slow growth during the last month. Business has been brisk in all lines an,l especially do we notice the big demand for supplies, includine Christmas bells and other novelties. We do not hesitate to make the statement that one store in Toronto this year will sell as many bells as were sold in the whole of Can- ada last vear. The demand for wreath- ing has been great and with tlie heavy snow in early winter, the supply has been, very limited and nearly all of the sup- ]ily houses are run out of moss for wreathing. Notes. Dunlop. during the week, has been showing a fine window of poinsettias- and Prosperity carnations, the higher- decorations for the window being Christ- mas bells and southern smilax. The attractiveness of this window stopped^ many a passer-by. S. Tidy & Son have a window of Amer- ican Beauties, which were certaiuly a- credit to the grower. They are excep- tionally fine for this time of the year. We noticed among visitors to town this week: Jtr. Webster, of St. Thomas; Ifiss F. E. Townsend. of Hamilton, and' W. Findley, of Brampton. D. J. BAYSIDE, L. I. John JleDonald has begun an action- in the Supreme Court, as administrator of his wife, Sarah, against John Taylor,, to recover $20,000 damages for her death. The complainant says that ilc- Pcnald was a fireman in the employ of IMr. Taylor and lived with his wife in a cottage o^^■^led by the florist. The plain- tiff alleges that in .January last, after a quarrel, the defendant ordered him to vacate the house. The weather was verv cidd and the wife in delicate health. .She died later, and ilcDonald claims thafr Taylor is responsible for her death. The- defendant made a motion Ix^fore .Justice Mai-eau December 8 to compel the plain- tiff to give security for costs, but Jns- ticp ilareau denied the motion.

Santa Cruz, C.u..— The Leedham Bulb (Jonipany is now cutting large quantities of Paper White narcissi from outside bed.s, and is beginning to out Ard Kigh daffodiJs inside. Geo. Butler has pur- chased the glass for a large new house to lie erected soon. The vines in his cu- lumber houses are in splendid shape and ho is beginning to cut in quantity for market. PLANT NOTES. Carnations and Gophers. Any nurseryman in this part of Cali- fornia will tell you that the demand for carnation plants for use in private gar- dens is not as lai-ge as it was formerlv. There are several reasons for this. The skill of the greenhouse grower has devel- oped such a large, perfect flower and lung stem, that those grown outside, even under the best conditions, are not to be compared either in texture of bloom ..r quality of stem and the only dealers -.x ho use them are the street venders who sell largo hunches for a mere trifle during the spring and summer months. Another reason given by people who have often very fine collections of garden plants is that the gophers have such a liking for the roots of any kind of a carnation that when they taste one they burrow under an entire garden and cat off all the carna- tion roots first before they bother with anytliing else. One gopher will clear out s- niaid. Bride, Testout and Kaiserin are selling at 50 cents per dozen for the shorter stemmed flowers and 75 cents per dozen for fairly good stock. Maiden hair fern is scarce with most of the gi-owers, but there is plenty of asparagus and smilax. Violets are still scarce; in fact, 1 have never seen so few of them ■''^r sale on the streets at this season of the year. The cold, frosty weather seems tu keep them back so much that most nt the growers who usually cut from ten to twenty dozen bunches per day have to be satisfied with half that quantity. Tiie best flowers sell at from $1 to $1.25 pe- dozen bunches and the bunches are nnt very large either. It will be necessary to have another good spell of rainv weather before violets become plentiful. Roman hyacinths are being brought in 'ii fair quantity and Paper White narcissi are more plentiful. They are used b.v the smaller dealers in large quantities in funeral work and sell wholesale at $1 per hundred stems. Chrysanthemums a;'" daily getting scarcer and more sliahln : that is, those grown outside. Some very fine Bnnnaffon and Mrs. .Terome Jones are exhibited by Sievers & Boland, but they are about the last of the season. Notes. James Skinner, of Portland, Oregon, is in town. He ships large quantities of Oregon graperoot leaves (Mahonia acjui- folium) to the dealers in green good^ here and is .iust now making arrange- ments to deliver several car loads of Christmas trees to the dealers. G. LOS ANGELES, CAL. Business in the stores and nurseries is excellent. The local carnation growers have been unable to fully meet the de- mand, and consignments have been re- ceived from San Francisco. Captain Gray, of the Ingleside Floral Co., has placed his nursery in charge of J. Gilmore, who was formerly with E. W. McLellan & Co., of Burlingame, Cal. The Ocean Park Floral Co. is at pres- ent busy planting carnations out in the field, direct from the propagating bench. 500,000 Rooted Carnation Cuttings TBANSPIiANTED AT SAME PRICE. Now Ready.

Mention Review wbeo yoa write. Dietricli it Huston, nurserymen, nre putting np two new lath houses and a largo propagating house. A good many eastern gardeners have arrived in Los Angeles during the last two months, and I believe this is due to an article signed ' ' Poppy ' ' in another trade paper last August, stating that there was not a competent gardener in southern California. There are and al- ways have been gardeners of the best type in southern California. ' ' Poppy ' ' was driving a hotel bus not long ago. A few years in the nursery business would be a benefit to him. There is plenty of room here for prac- tical growers with capital enough to en- gage in business. Of the other kind the supply more than equals the demand. Considerable has been said and writ- ten about stem-rot in eai-nations. It can be avoided by proper treatment. When planting out in the field plants for later use under glass, use a hoe and open a furrow as deep as your hoe. Fill this furrow two-thirds full with as good soil as you will use on your bench, and then rake in enough of the field soil to fill up the trench. Then with the hoe chop the, length of the trench, after which tread ROOTED CUTTINGS NOW READY. lUO 1000 MrsHlgbO'm 1,30 $12,00 Mrs P,Palm'r 1,30 12 00 Eldorado 1,20 10,00 Prosperity.,,, 1,40 12,50 price.

This re- sults in concentrating the roots, the sides of the trench being harder than the soil in it, and the roots run in the trench instead of over the field. This enables you to lift a ball of fibrous roots in- stead of merely a main root and a few branches. Plant as deep as your plants will allow. When lifted for the bench you will find a stem at least three inches long. Plant in bench to the top of the ball, and the stem, if the plant is not vsfaterlogged at the first watering, w-ill harden so there will be no danger of stem- rot or other rot attacking them. For field blooming stock I advise plant-, ingas shallow as possible, thereby keep- ing the stem well up in the light and air. H. B. 204 The Weekly Florists' Review, December 17, 1903.

HENRY A. DREER, Philadelphia, Penna. 206 The Weekly Florists' Review. DECEilUEK 17, 1903. LA DETROIT. It is stated that over 11,500 sugges- tions were otfered in the contest for the premium of $100 offered by Johu Breit- meyer's Sons for the name which should finally be adopted for their new rose. The winner is Mrs. Ezra Miller, of Lan- disville, Pa. The name was also sug- gested bv two other women, Mrs. Henry PfeiflPer "and Mr.x. Frank H. Croul, both of Detroit, although the winner was twenty-four hours ahead in the compe- tition. A handsome lithograph of the rose will be sent to each one who offered a name. The rose is considered the most im- portant of recent acquisitions to our list. It is a seedling of Mme. Caroline Test- out and Bridesmaid. It was raised by George Hopp, in Grand Eapids four years ago, and was acquired by the Breitmeyers early in the spring. Over 17,000 plants are now being .grown for propagating, 11,000 in Detroit; 4,000 in New Jersey, and 2,000 in Grand Rapids. April 1 is the date set for the distri- bution. CYCLAMEN. Enquirer sends a cyclamen corm with diseased leaves and buds. He says they were kept plunged in tobacco stems all summer, in a partly shaded house. They grew finely till November, when they were put in a warmer house. Then they threw up a fine show of buds, when the young growths began to ' ' draw and pucker, both leaves and buds." "Pucker" is a very good word and describes their ap- pearance better than any word I can think of. I could not see any signs of aphis or thrips and I think the trouble is that the little cyclamen mite got in his work. I don 't know the scientific name of this little pest or whether it is pecu- liar to the cyclamen only, but it exists and is microscopical in size. I have scc-i only this fall two first-class gardencj"! lose their cyclamen by the same trouble, so don 't think. Enquirer, that it 's all your fault or that you made any great mistake in their culture. It 's not very definite, what you mean by putting them into a warmer house; 55 degrees at night is warm enough after you have to use ar- tificial heat. My advice is poor consola- tion, but it is sound. If all your cycla- men are .anything like the sample sent, don't bother a moment with them; con- sign them to Sheol without delay an. I start again. There is time yet to sow for next winter's plants, and I hope we shall be able to find some means of keep- ing down this small but destructive foe. W. S. There is no paper that comes to me which is read with more real interest and benefit than your excellent publication, and I trust it may remain with us long, and continue to improve. — Wm. M.

The past week, compared to tlie previ- ous ones, was somewhat quiet. The cause was probably the indifferent weather, one day rather warm but cloudy, the next day the thermometer registers zero, and surely such weather is not r trade producer. The monthly meeting of the Nebra-sk.i Florists' Society was called to order by President J. J. Hess on December 10. After the minutes of previous meeting were read and approved the chair was turned over to President-elect S. R. Falconer. There seemed to be a new life injected into the society, two new members were elected with two es-meni- bers re-instated. It is hoped by all that such interest may keep up. Owing to the lateness of the hour but one game of tenpius was rolled. Sides chosen by Hess and Bath, of five men each, were pitted against each other. Through the excellent work of Ellsworth on the heme stretch, Bath and his braves won out by thirteen pins. After the holidays n bowling meet will probably be held each week. B.

You will be surprised at the added distinction and elegance which the Right Ribbons imparl. Strange, the Right Ribbons cost you no more than the ordinary kind bought elsewhere, and yet, the reason is plain. Right ribbons are manufactured with a distinct purpose in view. This purpose is— Ribbons woven in colors to perfectly match Roses, Violets, the Foliages. Ribbons woven lustrous and of quality. Usually these would cost more than the ordinary kind, but when buying direct from the mill " you save all between profits." Representative florists are using these qualities MONARCH— Satin TaHeta- CLIMAX. CONQUEROR— Metallique Taffeta— CYCLONE. OFFICE AND SALESROOMS: 806-808-8JO ARCH STREET.

By the time tliese notes reach yon tli(> Christmas rush will be over and yonr at- tention will be tnrned toward getting things back to normal conditions again. Whether this will prove a diffienlt task or not will depend altogether on how con- siderate yon were of your plants this week and last. If you used good .iudg- mcnt and did not allow greed to get the upper hand, you will not find it such a big job, but how many there are who can- not see past the extra dollars they could make by taxing their plants a little heav- ier. Every year we see much poor, soft, weak-stemmed stuff sent in by growers of this class, and isn 't it strange that (hey can't understand why their stock does not grade up later on with that of the wiser grower who does not let his greed run away with him at such times of temptation? At the time of this writ- ing reports are not very flattering in regard to the cut of carnations in this sec- tion, and I expect to hear of the usual amount of kicking about soft stutf after Christmas. When I started this letter I did not mean to preach about this over-forcing, but I feel that until it is stopped or at least materially checked, too much can- not be said against it. What I started to write about was how to get back to the normal temperature, etc. Immedi- ately after Christmas you should begin to lower the temperature as gradually as you raised it. More direct harm will re- sult fropi a sudden large drop in the temperature than could possibly result from an equally sudden rise. You know how a variable temjjerature will cause many varieties to burst many of the calyxes, and then just think how harm- ful a drop of 10 degrees must be to plants that have been working at a high tension for a couple of weeks. While the growth would not show the effects of such a drop, in the shape of mildew ''r .' Tlicso |plauts arc infected by the para- sitical fungus known as rose anthracnosc (Cilocosporium rosse). This fungus at- tacks the wood near the top of the cane, depriving that portion of the stem above the point of attack of all nourishment, eau.sing the leaves to become thin and yellow and eventually to fall off. It spreads very rapidly, usually in the direc- tion towards the top of the cane, while the underpart of the bush continues to fallen, these should be collected and burned. The affected parts of the stems should bo cut off, cutting well back, and also burned. Spray once a week with Bor- deaux mixture; keep the soil rather dry, give free ventilation on all favorable occii- sions and whenever possible keep a crack of air on during the night. I'lants which arc so badly infested as the smaller of the specimens should bo pulled up and destroyed; they are past redemption. 1 particularly commend the way these plants were packed, they having reached 1110 in as fresh a condition as when they were lifted from the bench, which con- dition considerably simplifies a diagno- sis. KrBKs. TROUBLES. As you invite correspondence, I sub- mit a few of our troubles and hope to get some light on them. First, is mil- dew on roses contagious? During one nf the very cool nights in September a door in our rose house blew open and the roses got badly mildewed. Since then we have treated them with sulphur in various forms, but the new growth seems still mildewed, while they have not been exposed to cool draughts since the first exposure. Second, will it do to propagate from such wood? What can be done to get rid of uiolos? Wo have our carnations in ground beds and the moles are rambling all llirough the beds. They work too deep to see their road nuirks on top of rlie grcuind. 1 liave tried sulphide of carbon, also earthworms soaked in strychnine, all to no effect. Tf anybody can suggest a remedy that will drive the little pests away we shall be truly thankful. We have a young man in our employ who is a sort of a crank on electricity. He has rigged a battery m the rose house, so arranged that when the temperature gets down to 53 degrees it rings a bell in his bedi-oom, and wakens him so he can House of Decoralive Plants Grown by A. C. Oelschig, Savannah, Ga. send out strong young canes which are in turn attacked and destroyed. A mi- croscopical examination of the aft'ected leaves and stems will reveal pinkish col- ored blotches which keep on bursting and scattering the spores in countless num- bers. If the trouble is not caused it is great- ly fostered by a moist and stagnant at- mosphere, great fluctuations of tempera- ture and imperfect drainage. As the fungus continues to grow and develop spores on the leaves, even after they have replenish fire; then he can go to sleep again without risk as to oversleeping and letting his fire go out. I do not sup- pose it would be very useful in a large estiiblishmont, but in a small place like ours (about 4,000 feet of glass) it makes it easy for the fireman. J. W. M. Yes, mildew is contagious, and will continue to spread, grow and scatter the s'[iores by millions, which, if the condi- tions are suitable, will find a lodgment, germinate and spread like the parents, December 21, 1003.

There are those w'ho believe that the progressive spirit which has enthused our trade in the north these recent years has not yet been awakened in t)ie south, but in this they arc mistaken. Of course climatic conditions and environment compel, or make possible, as the case may be, many modifications of the prac- tices in vogue in the regions of lower temperatures, but the w'ish to go ahead is manifest and the energy is shown in the recent development of many places. A. C. Oelschig, of Savannah, Ga., has been steadily adding to liis place until lie has Viuilt up a range which would l.'O a credit to any city of its size. He has everything in the most modern shape. Tho entire place is lighted with electric light. There is a windmill which pumps into a tank of 12,000 gallons capacity, but the windmill is taken down during the stormy season, September and Oc- tober, and then a gasoline engine does the work; also at other times it supple- ments the wind in pumping from the artesian well, 387 feet deep. The gaso- line engine pumps 2,000 gallons an hour and furnishes power for a circular saw, grindstone, emery wheel and drills. Mr. Oelschig says it saves its cost in labor every year. One of the accompanying views shows as much of the place as it is possible to get in one photograph, including a range of new houses for roses and carnations, also the lath shade for variegated fieus in summer. The new rose house is Sfi.': 120, with three center benches eiich six feet wide and two side benches each three feet wide. The roses are in solid beds on the ground level, six inches of oyster shells being provided for drain- age. Another of the illustrations shows a ficus house 40x100 which is not seen :'.t all in the general view. They had a fire in this house last winter and about half the stock was destroyed. The oth- er view shows a house of decorative plants, 45x100. There is a large retail trade and a good stock of plants is car- ried for use in decorations. Mr. Oelschig is a pretty regular at- tendant at the S. A. F. conventions ami made an exhibit at Milwaukee last Au- gust. He studies northern methods and iu so far as possible applies thenr to his own business. He has .a son who is, gaining knowledge of the various branches of the trade by working with northern concerns, having recently left Wittbold's, at Chicago, to go to J. M. Gasscr, at Cleveland. A NEW YORK DEPARTURE. Manager Alfred Ohasscaud, of Her- ald Square E'xhibition Hall, where the big chi-ysantheinum show was held in New York in November, is arranging for a business display of Easter stock in the same place. It will be a depart- ure which will be watched with intCi'- est, for the plan is such as to make the affair of direct concern to all iu the New York market. It is to bo called the Easter Elov.fer Fair and is to bo held the two weeks preceding Easter. Mr. Chasseaud says: ' ' This project appears to be what is sorely needed in the metropolis, a sales- room or market of ample size, wher.> grow-ers and dealers ami tho general public can meet in comfort day and night to do business." The plan is to sell floor space to the various parties who have Easter stock to sell. The hall will be open day and evening and all night on Easter Satur- day, giving every facility for handling either wholesale or retail trade. Ad- mission will be free during the day, but an admission of 25 cents will be charged in the evening, when there will be mu- sic. Mr. Chasseaud says he has the co- operation of the largest growers and wholesalers in the country. BOUVAKDIAS. — ^As these useful flowering plants go out of flower reduce tho sup- ply of water gradually in order to assist in ripening the wood, as on this depends in great measure profuse flowering next year. The plants must still be kept in a house where some fire-heat is applied for the sanio reason. AVhon all the foliage has fallen they may be stored under a stage in the grecenhouse, where drip does not reach the roots. — Gardening World. THIRTY RECOMMENDED MUMS. Jessie lUibliins asks me to give the average height, season of bloom, etc., of the varieties I noted in these col- umns a few weeks ago as exhibition kinds. I take pleasure in doing so for the benefit of the craft at large, as far as my own experience goes, but it must be reinenibered that the time of plant- ing greatlv att"ects the question of aver- age height, as stock set out in May naturally grows taller thau stock planted in .Tune and plants set closely in the bench will draw up longer than plants given lots of room. The heights given are such as jjlants will attain with general cultivation for ixhibition flowers. y. .]!,,„ Ilclglit, tcct. Soiison to bloom. Mi-S.

Uuekham, flowers were cut October 10 from buds taken early in August, but the finest flowers were produced from buds taken about August 20, as the earlier flowers do not have the broad, massive petals that are the chief charm of this variety. Speaking in a gen- eral way, I would not like to try to grow exhibition flowers in a house that would not give mo five to six feet of head room above the bench, and more would be better, as the loss from flowers damp- ing is less when there is a good body of air circulating between the flowers and the glass.

About February 1 we take a cutting off every plant. The plants that have lieen stopped, break out with two or three shoots and make bushy plants. As early in April as we eau get tlii> room and tinu>. we shift into 4-incli. test summers; while in wet, cool sum- mers they grow too much to leaf, with little flower. You can not produce the ideal conditions under glass in the mcnitlis of February or March, but you can a]ti>roach it with good results. W. S.

Adi:nitum cuneatum is vcrv little used A View in the Store of E. Asmus & Co., Chicago. These jjlants begin to bloom by the mid- dle of May and are at their best, both for bloom and vigor, by the end of May or planting out time. We never try to give these geraniums over 4.5 degrees at night during the cold months, for you Jo not want anything like softness in a geranium that is not to be planted out until near the first of June. Kow to get some plants in flower by Easter, do not try to get a cutting; best ,iust pinch out only the top of the growth, and if they are well rooted shift at once into 3 or Si^-inch; by the middle of February shift into 4i^-inch. Use a rather stiff" loam, mth a fifth of well- rutted manure and pot firmly. M'ith our bedding geraniums we use in our last shift alxnit a pint of bone meal to one Inushel of soil, and I think it helps the tlowering. Avoid leaf mold or too much animal manure. You want flowers and not leaf growth. All the above is on the right road, but you will not get flowers in Al)ril unless you have a very light house and can give them a high temperature. Give them llie fullest light at all times and plenty of room between the plants. Fifty-five to 60 degrees at night will not hurt, if you are able to give them 70 to 7.5 de- grees on all clear days during the day- time. Kemember how grandly the beau- tiful zonale geraniums thrive and blos- som in our flower beds, even in our hot- ter fern dishes, except where it is for some special occasion, for one or two nights only. There is a great variety of other small ferns that are used for this purpose and which continue in good order for several weeks or even months, if sen- sibly and carefully managed. JIany firms ;nake a siiecialty of these small ferns. Smijll growing pterises are among the most useful. If it is Stevia serrata, or sweet stevia that is alluded to, then it is strange to hear of its not being in flower by Christ- mas, and I can only account for the same by the warm climate of Alabama kee])ing it growing, and there being no cool nights in September and October to ar- rest growth and develop flowers. In the north this useful flower kept as cool as we possibly can above freezing, is always in its best condition by the middle of December. I should think that in the warm climate of Alabama, this stevia would not be worth taking into tlie greenhouse. Planted in convenient sizod beds and protected from frosts, by soui' cheap doth, would be all vou need. W. S. THE READERS' CORNER. Ed.

Hadkinson superintendent of floriculture at the St. Louis World's Fair, the management showed its appreciation of the splendid work accomplished by Mr. Hadkinson on the seventy acres of land surrounding the palaces of agriculture and horticul- ture. When Mr. Hadkinson joined the World's Fair force he v:ls made head gardener on the recommendation of Frederic W. Taylor, chief of the de- partments of agriculture and horticul- ture. Most of his domain was a £eld of barren yellow clay. In less than a year he has worked wonders. There is a tix- acre rose garden that even last summer made a splendid show and gave but an earnest of the beat ty it will present when the great fair opens. All of the shrubbery installed by Mr. Hadkinson has prospered, and every flower bed has received his personal at- tention and profited by his practical knowledge. As superintendent of flori- culture Mr. Hadkinson will be in charge of all the gardens and also of the flow- ers displayed in the conservatories which form a part of the palace of hor- ticulture. Mr. Hadkinson was born in Manches- ter, England. When a youth his par- ents emigrated to America and settled in Nebraska. He had studied in the botanical gardens in London, and in his new home he embarked in the nursery business. He gave that up to accept a position as instructor in horticulture in the University of Nebraska under Cliief Taylor, who was then professor of agri- culture at that institution. Mr. Had- kinson did the gardening at the Omaha exposition and had charge of Nebras- ka's horticulture exhibit at the Pan- American exposition at Buffalo. But at the World's Fair he has accomplished his greatest work. ■ GREENHOUSE HEATING. The following is a paper written by Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, and read before the St. Louis Florists' Club at its meet- ing December 10. Mr. Scott's experi- ence with hot water heating extends over forty-five years and he may fairly be said to have a thorough knowledge of the practical, every-day side of his subject : Supposed improvements have been made in methods of greenhouse heating by hot water within the last twenty years, but actually after trying many different systems the writer can discover nothing new and no improvement on the plan and system used fifty years ago and which will be found most plainly and naturally explained in that splendid work, ' ' Hood on Hot Water," published in London, England, some fifty years ago. Remember that the circulation of water when heated in a so-called "boiler" is a ■^^^ ^jjKrK W Joseph H. Hadkinson. (Superintendent of Floriculture, St. Louis World's Pair.) natural law. It is the law of gravita- tion. The water in the return pipe being- heavier, or, as scientists would say, of greater specific gravity, it presses down on the warm water in the boiler, which flows out at the flow pipe. So the greater the perpendicular drop in the return pipe, the faster will be the circulation. A perpendicular drop of six feet will do. but ten feet would be better. It should be needless to say that where the con- trary exists and there is only a foot or so of fall in the return pipe, the circulation is slow and a great amount of fuel has to be burned. The faster the circulation the less time is there for the water in the heating pipes to get cool and the less fuel it takes to warm the water as it passes through the boiler. tip to about twenty-five years ago noth- ing but the 4-inch cast iron pipe was used for heating greenhouses and Hitchings & Co., of New York, were pre-eminently the leading firm in that business, and scarcely any improvement on their system has yet occurred. Then some twenty years ago we began to hear of ' ' overhead heating," "uphill plan," "down hill system, " " hot water under pressure, ' ' ' ' the use of small pipes, ' ' etc. We will dismiss the overhead system by merely saying that it is utterly wrong in every particular. Any pipe higher on the walls than where the sash bar springs from is wasted. I do not say that pipes should necessarily be beneath a bench, for in carnation and rose grow- ing I think it is of no benefit, rather a detriment, but they should be low enough on the side walls or paths to create a free circulation of heat among the plants. With soft-wooded plants in pots it is a great advantage to have the heating pipes beneath the benches. The ' ' down hill system, ' ' or that sys- tem in which the flow pipe rises to its highest point over the boiler and from there gradually drops through the heat- ing pipes to the boiler, is wrong. You are diminishing your perpendicular drop at the boiler, which is your motive power. The ' ' up hill system. ' ' if that means a rise of two feet in 100, and a correspond- ing drop in the returns, is also wrong, because the water at ninety feet from the boiler is cooler than where it enters the house, and has a tendency to weigh back on the warm water. "Hot water under pressure" is not generally understood. I have a small system where the only vent for expansion is the city water main, which in our city is under a pressure of thirty-five pounds to the square inch. When the water ex- pands with heat it must go back against this pressure. This works most admir- ably, there being two pet cocks at the two highest points of the system, to let out any air that may have accumulated there, but after the first week of firing we find no necessity of opening these pet cocks oftener than once a week. Good as this system is, it is not hot water under pressure. As I understand the true pressure system, you fill the system and begin to fire ; there is no ex- pansion tank or relief of any kind except a safety valve. There being no space foi 224 The Weekly Florists^ Review. DECliMBER 24, 1903. Bteam to be made, the water can be heated a hundred degrees hotter than steam. If tlie safety valve was set at 300 pounds it would, when the water was that hot, blow off and reduce the pres- sure. 1 have heard of a system of that kind in a large rose growing establish- ment in Pennsylvania which is entirely satisfactory, but I have not seen it and believe that for large ranges of glass. •where hot water would be inconvenient, steam would be more satisfactory, and for large places steam is undoubtedly all "we want. Kot many years ago a most estimable and well meaning gentleman of Indiana said in answer to an inquiry that "if steam is used you must get the boiler down low, some eight or nine feet below the surface of the house. If hot water is used then you could put the boiler on the same level as the surface of the house. ' ' How utterly wrong both propo- sitions! The exact contrary in each case is correct. The large steam heated estab- lishments now put their boilers on a level with the houses and you will never get the best results from liot water circulation till your heater is at least seven feet be- low "the heating pipes in the house. 1 said at the outset of this paper that the circulation of hot water is a natural law and so it is. You can improve steam systems or steam engines or cotton gins or threshers or mowers, but you cannot violate the law by which hot water cir- culates. Now, as I have said what I believe is wrong about these innovations in hot water heating, it is about time I gave my views on what I think is correct, and I assure you, gentlemen, I have seen many systems installed and operated, some al- most perfection, some working fairly well and some very badly. Use no pipes less than 2-inch. Some years ago I reasoned that as a 4-inch "pipe holds about sixteen times as much water as a 1-inch that had one-fourth its radiating surface, the advantage must be with the 1-inch. Nothing of the sort. What with friction and its too rapid cooling, nothing less than a 2-inch should ever be used in what we call the open system, and that is what 999 out of 1,000 of all our hot water systems are. The outlet and return pipe from and into the boiler should be at least fifty per cent of the capacity of the pipes in your heat- ing system. To make this plainer, if you had i"n the houses eight 2-inch flows, then the flow from your boiler should not i less than a 5-inch. Rise perpendicularly if you can to the level of the flow pipes in "the house ; from there rise to the end of the house. Now here comes the most important point. Experts on heating say six inches in 100 feet. Why? It is wrong and I don't fear contradiction. If it was not that you wanted air to pass to the further end and as occasion may arise you want to draw off the water, then a perfect level in the house would be ideal, but two inches in 100 feet is all that you should give as a rise. There are automatic air valves made, but auto- matic contrivances are fine when they work and all wrong when they don't. So I prefer to tap into the highest point of the pipe or manifold a i^-inch lead or zinc pipe and run it up a rafter six or seven feet higher than the heating pipe. If there is any air in the pipes it will be at the highest point and always escape ont of these small pipes. If the flow and return pipes are of equal capacity it is well, but if that is not convenient, as in the case where you want to use five, or seven, or nine pipes on a side, then let the return pipes be in pre- ponderance. Fall back to the boiler with no more decline than you gave incline to the flows. Keserve all the drop you can till you get to the boiler. In the boiler shed erect a barrel or small tank of twenty gallons capacity and let it be a foot or so below the level of the top of the air pipes at the farther end of the house. Call that the feeding cistern and several ways will suggest to you how to keep it replenished and how to tell when it is full. An inch pipe leading from it and tapped into the bof- toni of the boiler or on the returns near the boiler will always keep your system full. If you prefer to connect your boiler with your water system and not bother with the "feeding cistern" then instead of those small air pipes at the farthest and highest point, you will have to put in pet cocks, which should be opened once NOTE The Editor is pleased when a Beader presents his ideas on any subject treated In the REVIEW.

The latter system I have and it works to perfection, but there is always danger of the fireman forgetting the air cocks. I am aware that there are many twists and turns that have to be overcome in putting in a system and to go into that would fill a small book, and I have orJv tried to give my views of the broad and fundamental principles of hot water heat- ing. Keep your boiler down low. Ee- serve your drop in the return pipe till you get to the boiler. Don't expect a 2-inch to feed two 2-inch; it takes " 3 -inch to do that. Keep your pipes al- most level in the house and don 't use any pipes less than a 2-inch and you can't make much of a mistake. Always put in a boiler that is twenty-five per cent more powerful than your need and enough radi- ating surface for the most extreme weather and then on the ordinary winter weather you are saving much fuel.

AsmuSj the well-known rose grower, died at his home at West Hobo- ken, N. J., on Thursday, December 17. The funeral services were held at Trinity Church, Hobokcn, Sunday afternoon, in- toiinent being at New Durham. Thus is the final chapter told in the career of one of the strongest men in American floriculture, for few there are among the craft who, from such small licginnings, by the sheer force of a clear head, indefatigable industry and consum- mate honesty, have accomplished so much in a mere material way or become so firmly seated in the regard of those with whom they have had business or personal iclations. Mr. Asmus may well be upheld to the younger generation as an example of that quiet, undemt»nsirative, earnest, energetic, conservative element which is the mainstay of the business world. Born at Hamburg. Germany, November 27, 1844, the family came to America when the boy was 8 years old and locat- ed near New York, in the vicinity which for half a century has been the scene of the uninterrupted development of this strong character. The father was a car- penter, but the whole family soon became engaged in the flower business at West Hoboken, where the initiative was taken by Ernst, then in his twelfth year. The first greenhouse was a lean-to ; then they rented a place of three houses in fair shape for those days, but hardly recognizable a.s greenhouses if set beside the new plant recently built at Closter. For a time Eudolph Asmus, an uncle of E. G., was -svith them, but soon the busi- ness was in three separate hands. In 1880 Mr. Asmus bought out Peter Scliu]ip, a veteran, at West Hoboken, and here the real development of his busi- ness l>egan. In early years Mr. Asmus grew pot plants; later he was known as an ex- tensive bulb forcer, but of late his en- ergies have been cliiefly devoted to grow- ing roses for the New York market. Carnations and valley have also been handled. He was a prime mover in the affairs of the New York Cut Flower Com- pany and it was in its market that his stock has found its outlet. But perhaps Mr. Asmus will be best remembered through the length and breadth of the land as the disseminator and sponsor for the Liberty rose. Mme. Testout and President Carnot found their way to the American trade through his hands. Mr. Asmus was a member of the S. A. F., the American Eose Society and New York Florists' Club. The business will be continued by the sons, who for some time have had an active part in it and have already demonstrated' that they have inherited many of their father's sterling traits. Toledo, 0. — Keller Bros, are repairing one of the greenhouses at Walbridge park and there are two other houses which must shortly be remodeled. Washington, Pa. — Warrick Bros., of 498 Locust avenue, have completed their new greenhouses for the growing of let- tuce in a commercial way. The houses are five in number, each 15x120 feet, with a potting shed and boiler house on the east end, 12x70 feet. In addition to growing lettuce they will also grow cu- cumbers, parsley, cauliflower and egg plants for market. December 24, 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review^ 225 NEV YORK. With the Retailers. If one may judge by the enormous quantities of blooming plants and tbe gorgeously brilliant windows of the re- tail stores, tliis is to be an old time Cliristmas, with enough and to spare for all. There seems to be a contidenco and expectancy in the great floral centers as great as in other years and there can bo no doubt as to this being tho greatest plant Christmas on record. At this writ- ing, Monday evening, the stores are ablaze with color and day and night the plantsmen are delivering their fin- ished work and the increased force is busy banking, arranging and preparing the stock for the grand display of "Wednesday and Thursday, when the great retail stores of the metropolis will present to the admiring public an exhi- bition that pales any ordinary flower show into insignificance. No wonder the usual flower exhibition fails to draw crowds in New York when such a mag- nificent display is made every Christmas and Easter in our retail stores, the like of which is seen nowhere else in the country. It would be difficult to particularize where all do so well. Red is the prevail- ing color, of course, and poinsettias, bells and holly are used lavishly every- where. Some fine specimen azaleas are in evidence and this plant is used more ex- tensively than ever before for Christmas. Gloire de Lorraine begonias are numer- ous and beautiful. All the growers have them this season. Ward's baskets of this plant are superb. Orange trees are everywhere and heather is exceptionally profuse and excellent in quality. So, too, is the hoUy; green, well berried and util- ized as never before on the walls as a background for the blooming plants. Bells in all sizes and styles, and red ribbons galore, make the display a bril- liant one. Then, to add to it all, come the novelties of the year and the left over novelties of the years that have gone. There are ham{>ers of dark wood, grand pianos in purple and white, char- iots of gold and trunks in green and purple, autos and imported vases and the new Russian and Pompaeian designs in wood, exquisitely painted, made into bas- kets, jardinieres and sleighs and very popular, all the best establishments using them. Siebrecht & Son's "palace" opened on Monday, as determined upon a few months ago, an accomplishment that then seemed impossible. This firm is occupy- ing all of the immense space on the ground floor of their building — three large stores — with Christmas goods of every kind. The lighting effects here are very brilliant. The entire store is en- closed by immense plate glass windows. The furnishing will entail an expendi- ture of nearly $10,000. It is without a doubt the finest floral establishment in the world. Mrs. ScEillen's new store in the Im- perial Hotel, where her husband estab- lished the business twenty-three years ago, is complete and open for the Christ- mas trade. It is one of the handsomest shops in New York and has a splendid location. President Traendly. President Traendly, of the Naw York Florists' Club, was born in Brooklyn only thirty-six years ago. He comes nat- Frank H. Traendly. (Prealdent New York Plorlats' Club.) urally to the florist pasture, his father liaving conducted a flower business at Fulton street and Ft. Greene place for many years. At the age of sixteen he was in the service of Fred Donahue, on Fourteeutli street, and later was one of the lieutenants witn Thos. Young, Jr., at 11 West Twenty-seventh street. In June, 1893, he formed a partnership with Chas. Schenck, in the wholesale com- mission business at 38 West Twenty- eighth street, where they still hold the fort and are adding yearly to the volume of their business. Mr. Traendly has been a member oTE ' the New York Florists' Club for over ' ten years and has always been an active worker, well deserving the honor which has been bestowed upon him. He has been a trustee and committeeman, often had much to do with the successful out- ings of the club and is a strenuous and enthusiastic bowler. His management of the canteen department has immor- talized him and endeared him to his fel- low members and he will make an excel- lent presiding officer, dignified, devoted and deliberate. The Asmus Obsequies. The funeral services over Ernst Asmus were held on Sunday afternoon at Trinity church, Hoboken, and a very large num- ber of his friends in the trade were present to pay the last tribute of respect and affection to his memory. Represent- atives from many neighboring cities and towns and a large number from New York and Brooklyn attested to the uni- versal regard felt for Mr. Asmus. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent to the bereaved family, that of the American Rose Society being singularly appropri- ate. An immense tablet made of Bride, Maid, Liberty, Golden Gate, KiUamey and Franz Deegen roses surmounted a vase of American Beauties. Mr. Asmus was beloved by all who knew him inti- mately. His cheerful, happy personal- ity made friends wherever he was known, and his success in his profession made his reputation national. Various Items. The stock of the supply houses is about depleted. Never has there been such a demand for holly and evergreens. Day and night the shipping has been in prog- ress. The Christmas tree department is of especial interest. It is estimated that New- York spends $2,000,000 this year for "green goods" and that half a million trees will be distributed within the confines of Greater New York. Prices for Christmas trees retail, range from 25 cents to $25 each. The usual rate paid by the florists is $50 per 100 bundles. Bundles contain from one to ten trees and vary in height from two to twenty-five feet. Mistletoe is plenti- ful and perfect this year. The imported is especially good and in demand. The handsome conservatories in Bronx park escaped destruction last week in a terrific dynamite explosion that shat- tered the glass there and the windows in the botanical museum, 400 feet away. Fortunately no one was injured. Henry Berger, of Irvington, N. Y., who has been gardener for Miss Helen Gould for over twenty years, met with a sad loss on Saturday, his daughter 226 The Weekly Florists' Review, Decembek 24. 1003. Susan being run over and killed by a train. Desebrock & Co., the originators of the Russian jardinieres, baskets and novel- ties, have entirely sold out their manu- factured stock for the Christinas trade. Their work is a detailed novelty and has been in great demand. Mr. Desebrock \\-ill shorth' visit the large cities with samples of his handiwork. He has been a resident of New York for four years. His father, Gustav, of Hamburg, is the owner of two fine florist stores there and the oldest florist in that city. Henry Hentz, Jr., of Madison, the grower of special Beauties, has wisely entered the ranks of tbe Benedicts and added an " American Beauty ' ' to his collection last week, on aceou'nt^of which his brother florists extend coiS^ratula- tions. * C. W. Eberman, manager of the conj-. servatories of Siegel Cooper Co.,. has built up a great business there .during the past year and in a way that has an- tagonized none of the florists .of New York. Prices are maintained "at "regu- lar rates' and only the best of stock is haiidled. Mr. Eberman managed th^'.' business i for , Dressel & Smutz for six' years, when they had charge of these cciisorvatories. Eowehl & Granz, of Hicksville, L. 1., I'.ave just sold their entire stock of 100,-. 000 dahlia roots to Clueas & Boddington, who will in the future handle their entire output of dahlias and gladioli. Mr. Schepke, formerly with Bobbink & At- kins, is now one of the traveling sales- men for tliis house. Geo. Lorenz, of Astoria, is very ill with t.-s-phoid pneumonia. John Young handled some grand im- ported holly trees for Christmas. Many of the wholesalers indulged in a "plant flyer" this season and disposed of large quantities of ferns, also, as well as blooming stock and holly. Kurzmau- Dacre Co., Young & Nugent, Thos. Young, Jr., Bradshaw & Hartman, Rie- del & Spicer, Alex Guttmau, James Ham- mond and Chas. Millang were all active in this respect and made fine displays in their windows. Mr. Millang predicts that plantsmen will ultimately consign their stock to the wholesale men for sale!, in the same way the cut flower growers have adopted. His new con- servatory just completed covers the en- tire yard back of his wholesale store and he has handled an immense lot of plants for Christmas. There were shoals of violet growers from up the Hudson in town on Monday. They came to feel the market and get a line on its capacity. Some predict an avalanche of violets for Christmas. Prices for specials in 100 lots and selected will rarely touch $2.50 unless all signs fail. Last year cut flowers of all kinds were liigher on the corresponding days before Christmas. The past week was just about as predicted — exceedingly dull and depressed, the improvement being hardly noticeable on Monday. Langjahr has received some fine cyp- ripediums from Zeller, of Flatbush. that readily sold at 15 cents, which is top price for many a day. He thinks the new led carnation he is haodling ought to go above $25 per Iiundred before the week is over. The Long Island florists are suffering from thieving visitations, Louis Dupuy, of Whitcstone, being the latest sufferer. It would seem wise for the Long Is- | landers to add to their assets a good dog, a bear trap and a seven-shooter as pre- liminary precautions before Christmas. J. Austin Shaw. A VISIT TO UTICA. The writer was invited to go down to Utica and talk a little on carnations. Ilow presumptuous to accept! Yet he did and if he told them nothing new he created a laugh and that 's a mutual pleasure. Utica has about 00,000 people, mostly florists; at least when you ar)^ riding around the city you would think so. It has more florists' establishments to the square mile than any section of the country I know of, twice as many as our city, w'ith a population at least six times as large. It is not Utica or its many surrounding small towns that use the product of these many establish- ments. Its roses, carnations and adian- tum go to our big cities east and west. To see all or a third of these places was impossible and as it was 2 degrees below zero and eighteen inches of snow during my stay it was not so delightful ■M^P S*^' around. .Utica will soon be known as a carna- tion center. There is Dr. W. A. Row- lands, with four up-to-date houses with nothing but carnations and among t'-om one grand houss of Lawson, fine Pros- perity, a most well grown lot of Joost, and many of the newer sorts in smaller quantities. The Doctor has fairly got the fever and will continue to grow and expand. W. P. Pfiefer has doubled his area of glass since I last saw him and the leading article is the divine flower, most- ly well done. Wm. Mathews, besides his pets, the orchids, has five or six houses of carnations and here as elsewhere you see the incomparable Lawson superior to everything. At Frank Baker's all was hustle and bustle and I was glad to see the energetic young alderman doing such a fine business and having such a fine stock to do it with. He also has converted one of his places almost en- tirely into carnations. Mr. Spencer, of Oneida street, has a house or two of carnations looking well, but what interested me mostly was a scarlet seedling of great promise now in its third year. It is of identical pa- rentage with Flamingo and, I believe, with the expert handling of a Daille- douze, or Ward, or Hartsliorne, suscepti- ble of producing a prize-winning variety. If all the city places have enlarged and improved their carnation culture as the few I saw, then the "pent up" city will soon be a center. Y'ou all know Peter Crowe and his now famous Adiantum Croweanum. Happy, rotund man, he has no care now but a dozen houses of this splendid fern, num- bering, big: and little, hundreds of thou- ands, and if the cut was ten times what it is, he could dispose of it. The variety or form of the fern is one thing, but how to grow it is another. If I could grow it with such freedom and luxuriance I would Crowe, too. The fifteen large modern rose houses are leasee found at the Blue Ribbon alleys. The ladies bowl every Wednesday afternoon and the juniors every Tuesday night at the same allevs. J. J. B. CHICAGO. The Market. Writing on Wednesday at the height of the Christmas activity, there is only one point on which the wholesalers agree: They all say it is a very satisfactory weeic, as to "the aggregate of sales, but from that point reports diverge. One house is short on long Beauties; an- other has them to spare, but can't get the first mentioned to buy. Some are short on good roses; others have enough for all orders. One house has double violets by the thousanas; another has wired its growers for more. Even on the carnation proposition there is a difference of report. Caxnations are scarce, yes, but one house closed up Tuesday" night with at least 10,000 on hand, and several others had plenty, simply Ijecause the buyers could not use them at the prices asked. Receipts on Tuesday were larger than had been ex- pected, and again on Wednesday arrivals were liea^-y. While many shipping or- ders have gone out only partially filled, it begins to look as if it would take a considerable recession from quoted rates to move the lower grades, particularly whites, and once more the grower who stored his stock stands in a position where he may be sorry. W^hen prices are held too firmly wholesalers will not buy of each other, for there is no com- mission in it and the possibilities of loss are too great. Y^et, after all the recent cry, the growers expect 5 and 6 cents for their carnations. One of the notable things has been the call for Liberty roses. Every order has required more or less and calls for from 200 to 500 select eat up the avail- able supplies very fast. There has been some very fine stock about, well worth, the 2.5 cents asked, but there have also been quantities which bore the marks 228 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Decembek 24, 1903. of extreme old age. In general it may be said that roses sold better than last year because 'the average price was a little lower, that carnations sold slower because the prices were higher and that bulb stock went well because everyday prices prevailed. Various Notes. The Chicago Florists ' Club will hold a series of meetings in the various sec- tions of the city, north, south and west, between January 1 and February 17, the exact dates and locations to be announced later. All persons in any way engaged iu the trade are requested to be present, especially employes who are not members of the club. At the last club meeting W. X. Eudd invited the craft to "picnic" at his place on Friday, December 18, and many accepted, but only a small party showed up at the appointed hour. Those who absented themselves missed a veiy pleas- ant afternoon. Phyllis, Mr. Rudd's new light pink, was, of course, a center of interest, for the variety always shows up strong. He has a large planting of an imnamed white seedling of 1898 w-hieh came in for general approval. It has never been staged at a flower show, and it may not be an exhibition variety, but it looks to be a first-class money maker. There is a red, with an exaggerated stem that may be exhibited next year. Mr. Rudd says White Lawson is in every way better than the parent and certain- ly the plants on his place bear out his statement. The $50 premium money donated by Peter Eeinberg and Wietor Bros., for last week's? Florists' Club show, was dis- tributed as follows: $20 to Garfield Park Floral Co., $10 to J. A. Peterson, $5 to W. L. Palinsky, $5 to Kalous Bros., $10 to Chicago Carnation Co., each of whom had a meritorious exlubit. One well-known carnation grower, al- though not a large one, says he finds it profitable to put a union label on every carnation bud as soon as it shows color. The little rubber band eflfeetually pre- vents the calyx from Dursting, does not retard development and is quickly cut off when bunching the flowers. John EeJtmeyer has a range of seven houses at St. Louis and Foster avenues, all devoted to carnations and doing well. His Enchantress are particularly good. Randall handles his cut. Mr. Reitmeyer was one of tlie first greenhouse builders north of town, but has given up con- tracting altogether. J. F. Klinmier says that from 5,000 carnation plants, his cut lately has been 700 a week, where in October and early November he got twice as many. A handsome Christmas present came to John Steinmetz, one of the ti"avelers for W. W. Barnard & Co., in the shape of a nine-pound son, arriving December 21. Harry Eowe has the decoration at Rec- tor's for New Year's eve. Klehm's Nursery was in with a very big cut of Liberty for Chi-istmas. The stockholders in the Flower Grow- ers' market will hold their annual meet- ing January 2. Mrs. Stollery comes down each morn- ing with a nice lot of plants, including peppers, azaleas, poinsettias and bulb stock in pans. The secretary of staie at Springfield has licensed the incorporation of the Chicago Florists' Bowling Club. It is stated that the appUeation was made by two members and others without au- thoritv from the club. OUR FLORISTS' CLUBS. In a recent issue of the Gardeners' Magazine, London, William Falconer, of Pittsburg, writes in part as follows: ' ' In most all of the big cities of the United States the florists and gardener? Iiave wiiat are known as florists' clubs, (.ne iu each city. The club meets once a month and discusses timely horticul- tural topics. These clubs, when properly handled, do much good; they bring the members into close acquaintance, and all become familiar with the newest and best varieties of plants to grow, and the best paying and most progressive meth- ods of cultivation and construction, etc. These clubs are not beneficiary societies in any way. "As I have for several years been president of The Pittsburg and Alle- gheny Florists' and Gardeners' Club, I will tell you something about what we do, and this may be suggestive in inducing you to go and do likewise. We hire a small hall one night a month. Our an- nual dues are $2 a year, just enough tu ))ay our expenses. AVe meet at night from 8 to 10, but it is often 11 before we get through, and our meetings are well attended, bright and interesting. Rout- ine business is brief, and long discussions are disallowed. A special subject, as the rose, carnation, palms, house decora- tions or the like, is taken up for consid- eration and discussion at each meeting; it is announced at the previous meeting, and all come prepared to handle it, and a special exhibition of the subject is made. For instance, if it be roses, the several growers of roses send in a few of their choicest flowers, and a letter of request is sent out to the uttermost ends of the country to the raisers of new varieies or growers of special kinds for exhibits of their roses and a few notes about them. This brings together a most instructive display. No papers are prepared or read. A busy gardener or florist has no time to prepare a paper; besides, the very tliought of ha\-ing to prepare and read a paper would scare some of our very best growers clean out of our club. But the most diffident cultivator will an- swer questions as fast as j'ou ply them at him. "The president takes the chair and gets through the routine business as quick as possible. Now we come to the subject of the evening, viz., Roses. The stand- ard sorts are taken fh-st, and one variety at a time is placed on his table. These American Beauties were grown by John Smith. John is asked the condition of his crop, when he planted them, how far apart, how deep the soil, the composition of his soil, about temperature, ventila- tion, training or tying, second crop, mil- dew, red spider, fertilizers, etc., and John will answer each question pointedly and promptly. Then the chairman will ask other growers pointed questions as re- gards their experience and practice, and there will be an explanation of differ- ences in treatment or marketing or crop- ping. There is no hesitation or dull- ness; sometimes three or four men try to speak at once. The Beauties are passed and removed, and on to the table come Meteors, and after them Brides, Testouts, and so on, each one in its turn. Then come the new varieties, and the way they are torn to pieces sometimes makes one sorry they ever appeared. But it is a critical audience and an honest one. ' ' For each month we select a seasona- ble topic and all of our local daily news- papers report these meetings, and they also ai-e noted in our horticultural or flor- ist papers. And once a year, in the sum- mer-time, we have an outdoor picnic." Vegetable Forcing. Chicago, Dec. 23.— Radishes, $1 to $1.25 per 100 bunches. Lettuce, head, 30 to 50 cents tub. Cucumbers, 50 to 60c dozen. C.^NANDAIGUA, N. Y. — Duucau Rhind & Son grow grapes and vegetables as well as roses and carnations. They also have a large stock and fruit farm. The English horticultural journals are taking favorable notice of the pure cul- ture method of making mushroom spawn practiced by Paul Swanson, Chicago. The French growers have had good re- sults by this method, and the English papers ' have frequently advocated its trial in that country. FUNGUS IN LETTUCE. If it were not for the attacks of fungus, the growing of lettuce under glass would in most cases be an easy matter, but as it is, it requires constant care and watching to ward off, or keep the diseases in check. Much trouble may be avoided by keeping the plants in as healthy a condition as possible, as a healthy plant is not nearly as susceptible to the attack of any disease as a plant of weakened vitality. "But as a healthy man is not immune from contagion, no more is a healthy plant immune from a fungous disease if the spores of fungi are brought in contact with it and the at- mospheric and other conditions are suit- able to the development of the fungus. The first step toward the prevention of the trouble is to see that the house gets a thorough cleaning before crop- ping is begun, so that no spores will be left hanging around. No decayed ma- terial or rubbisli of any kind should be left under the benches. All old soU should bo taken out and the benches given a thorough washing with hot lime, or a spraying with copper sulphate solu- tion before the new soil is put in. It is short-sighted policy to try to raise a crop from old soil rather than go to the trouble and expense of put- ting in fresh material. The old soil may look all right and one might think that the addition of fertilizers would renew its worn-out qualities, but the chief danger is from its having been subjected to the influence of summer weather and having become more or less dry and powdery, after which condition fungus is almost certain to develop as soon as water is applied. If any one wants to prove this let him apply water to soU that has been severely dried, and he will be surprised to see how quickly the soil will become covered with minute fungus. Let him sow small seeds in it, and he will find that no sooner are the seedlings DECEMBEn 24. 1003. The Weekly Florists' Review* 229 over ground than they begin to damp oflf. This dani)iinf; off, as it is commonly called, is tlie. work of a fungus. From my own experience and observa- tions I am satisfied that the cause of most of those fungous diseases can be traced to the soil, and the experiments of others in sterilizing, etc., have proved that when the .soil is perfectly free from the spores of fungus, with suitable eon- ditious for the crop under cultivation and ordinary care, these diseases seldom make their appearance. Atmospheric conditions have more to do with their de- velopment than their origin. Overhead watering and drip are often blamed for certain diseases, but condensation from a close and huniid atmosphere is more suitable to their development. I am never afraid to water such tender sub- jects as lettuce overhead on bright days when I am satisfied that the foliage will be dry before time for shutting up the house. The spores of fungi certainly require moisture to develop, but being minute bodies have little chance of re- maining on the foliage when water is be- ing applied in any quantity, whereas when the foliage is merely moist, as it would be from condensation, it affords excellent conditions for their lodgment and development. The whole Icttuee plant is edible and any disease attacking its leaves, though not killing it outright, will render it unfit for market, while diseases in other plants, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. can be checked by spraying with fungi- cides. Hence the necessity for proper conditions and treatment and the exer- cise of every possible means of preven- tion for the successful growing of the crop. W. S. Crotdon. CLEVELAND. The Market. Business in all lines has been almost at a standstill, but as the cut of flowers has been very light, nothing has gone to waste, and as every grower in this vicinity seems to be off crop, prices hold up to previous quota- tions. It is almost impossible to get a quotation on carnations, with a promise (o fill the order. There will be quite .-i few- nnims ottered this week and prices will be good on them. Paper Whites and Romans are coming in more freely, and will help out on funeral work. Notes. Frank Biley is back again with 8mith & Fetters, having left E. J. Bolanz, of Aki-on, when the new partnership of Bolanz & Best was formed. Mr. Best is one of our Cleveland boys, and we are pleased to learn that he has left Chicago and is getting nearer home, and wish liim every success in Akron. E. THE COMMISSION MAN. Says a well-known English writer in the Gardeners ' Chronicle : " I am aware that there are many country growers who send their goods to Covent Garden to be sold on commission, and in many in- stances it is when the supply much ex- ceeds the demand that these extra con- signments reach the commission men, and when returns are made the senders are sxirprised at their smallness; but, as one of the large commission men explaineil to me the other morning, they are obliged to look after those first who send every day through the year, and though consignments from casual senders may be good, they of necessity get left over until all the best trade is supplied. The commission-man 's position is not al- together a pleasant one, for though he may conduct his business on the strictest and most careful lines, he finds it im- possible to satisfy all concerned. Yet I am sure that the grumblers would not do better if they acted as their own sales- men." LOSS OF VIGOR IN PLANTS. In discussing the loss of vigor in plants through propagation by cuttings, A. Hemsley writes: "I think there is little doubt that some species of plants ilcteriorate w-ith age. I will take carnations as the first example. While man}' varieties will retain their vigor for an almost indefinite time, others only last for a comparatively short ]ieriod. The yellow varieties appear to me to lose some of their vitality sooner than any others. I remember when first handling Pride of Penshurst that I propagated sev- eral thousands, and they all made bushy, healthy plants — in fact, I never knew any variety of carnation to do bet- ter; yet the following season I could not succeed so well, and year by year the stock got worse, until I had to give it up alto- gether; but before doing so I obtained a stock from another grower. I had a similar experience with Andalusia, a win- ter-flowering carnation, a great favorite twenty years ago, which is hardly ever seen now. Some other varieties have also dropped out of cultivation, but thei-e are none better to take their places. My ex- perience was gained in establishments where plants were grown for sale, and it may be that owing to the strongest and best plants always being sold, and cut- tings and layers from weak plants were made use of, the s'toek deteriorated more quickly than it otherwise would have done. "I will now take Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, which has always proved abor- tive; in fact, it rarely produces female flowers; and this variety, instead of de- teriorating, appears to gain in strength from year to year. There seems little doubt that all plants which fail to ma- ture seeds may be propagated from cut- tings and a healthy stock kept up for a much longer period than can be done with such plants as seed freely; and yet it is posiBible to grow many of the seed-bear- ing plants for an indefinite period with- out ill effects being apparent. I luive often referred to the necessity of prop- agating from strong, neaJthy stock and I have noticed that with some species a long time is required to make good jilants from weak cuttings, and in some instances it is impossible to do so. Take Erica hyemalis, a species which must have been in cultivation for at least half a century ; it has always been raiser! from cutting.s, and as grown at the pres- ent time it is more robust than it was twenty-five years ago; and the same may be said of other ericas. I will refer to one other subject, viz:, Asparagus plu- mosus. I have found that all seedlings will grow vigorously if potted on as they require it, and otherwise treated liber- ally ; but grown in poor soil and after being divided several times the growth gradually becomes weaker, till at last the variety "nanus" is' evolved. It is much the same with Aralia Veitchii and A. gra- cillima, which are usually cultivated in light, ])eaty soil ; but potted in rich loam and afforded good treatment they grow quite out of character. It is not difficult to get these into the vigorous growth, but it takes some time ere the plants get back to the thin gract-rnl habit. "There is one more point I may refer to. viz.. the propagation of plants which produce terminal inflorescences, such aS Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia), the plants raised from early cuttings of which grow at the least three feet in height before they come into flower ; but the tops may be taken oft" and rooted, and if treated properly, large heads of bracts may be obtained on stems not more than nine inches or a foot high. There are other plants which may be treated sim- ilarly, but it would not be safe to trust to these late propagated plants for the next season 's stock. There is much more in the choice of stock plants and in the se- lection of suitable cuttings than is gen- erally supposed." — Gardeners' Chronicle. THE HAIL ASSOCIATION. The Florists' Hail .Association of America has been org~anized over six- teen years, during which time the mem- bers of the association have paid thir- teen assessments, including the one paid upon joining. The association is a pure- ly mutual organization, in which the members place in the hands of the treas- urer one advanced assessment in order that losses may be paid promptly. The present membership numbers over 1,200 located in nearly every state in the Union and in Canada. Over nineteen million square feet of glass is now in- sured. Over $65,000 paid to members, representing 740 losses, is the record for the past sixteen years. .lohn G. Esler, Saddle Eiver, N. J., is secretary. FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. The Gardeniag World. Forcing Lilacs. — Like most hardy plants and shrubs, the lilac resents hard forcing; a temperature of .30 or 5.5 de- grees will be ample for the first fort- night after housing; afterwards a rise of a. few degrees by sun heat may be accorded. Those who have lofty stru<-tures may lift one or two large bushes that have been Iransplanted during the last year or two, taking care to retain a. good ball of soil to them. It is not absolutely necessary to pot these; they may be stood upon t)ie floor and the roots covered with old potting or other soil. Abundance of tepid water both at the roots and over- head is essential until the blossoms begin to open, when the overhead syringing should cease. Excellent varieties for the j>urpose are Charles X, single, Madame Lemoine, Virginite, and Leon Lemoine, double. Akebia Lobata. — The leaves of this climber consist of three leaflets and the fruit of an ornamental character, being tiiree inches to four inches long, and ]iurple in color. It belongs to the bar- lierry family, and comes from .Ia)ian. A plant was recently fruited in a Notting- liamshire garden. The better known A. quinata does not often fruit, although it flowers freeh' enough, both under glass and on an outside wall. Frankfort.

A (lay or two ago I sent you ivliat we thought was a petrified calla bulb. Some time ago our men were digging open a trench where there was a isteam pipe buried for several years and one of them unearthed this specimen. ^Yheu the pipe was tirst put in it might have gotten in with the filling material. It happened to be buried mostly in gravel. Can you make anvthing else out of it? A. F. J. Baur. The petrified ' ' something ' ' has ai rived. But why, ilr. Editor, do you send it to a simple gardener? 1 am not a geologist. I wish I were. The state geologist would be the proper person to determine whether this was the petrified corm of a Eichartlia Aethiopica or mere- ly a fragment of some marine plant or Crustacea that lived and died iu the early ages of our planet, so distant in the re- mote past that, like space and eternity, the mind cannot grasp it. Without call- ing yourself a geologist or even admit- ting that you have a smattering of that glorious science, the truths of which have so enlightened and expanded our knowl- edge of the earth's past history, yet it is the duty of all intelligent men to ac- quaint themselves with the great and broad ti-uths of the science, and ho"- many intelligent men can say that sucn marvelous revelations do not interest them is beyond understanding. There are Mil- lions of smart men troubling themselves about hazy traditions, fictions and ghost stories in connection with man 's com- paratively brief occupancy of this ter- restrial sphere that are not the least interested in the fact that it took two millions of years to form the coal meas- ures alone, or that perhaps another million years the face of the earth was covered with reptiles or kindred monsters, the remains of which are now found in im- mense quantities in our states of Vv'yom- ing and Montana. Creatures with bodies seventy-five feet long and a spread of wings 100 feet across once flew over the city of London. What a nice birdie to settle on the roof of a greenhouse! But there were no greenhouses then, no man in his most primitive form, perhaps no true mam- mal or warm blooded animal, no flower- ing plant or fruit bearing tree. How easy to be led off into the wonders of the past, so I will pull up merely to say that accepting the nebular system and then following through the inorganic rocks up through the carboniferous ido through successive ages to the tertiary, it is not difiScult for any of us to real- ize the stupendous age of the earth, as well as by the remains of former life in these past ages to see the gradual devel- opment from the minutest denizen of the ancient seas up through the shell fish, Crustacea, fish, reptile, bird, mammal and, last of all, the crowning work of the Creator, biped man, and later, much later, a man with a conscience. John Fisk, professor of history, philos- ophy and several other things at Har- vard, one of America 's greatest men, ■who died three or four years ago. in his beautiful little book. Through Nature to God, which every soul who can should read, says, ' ' Man has without doubt ex- isted on this earth a million years in his present physical form but in a low men- tal form. ' ' He then adds that there is every evidence that man was on the earth during and survived the glacial period. 8ome bigoted or wilfully blind persons nmy ask how John Fisk knows all this .' From the vestiges that man has left be- hind him. and great minds have made a life study of prehistoric man, and sure- ly they are a better authority on such a subject than the great divines of the past, present or future. The divines have a different sphere of iisefulness and when they antagonize the revelations of science they always receive a ' ' solar plexus, ' ' but they recover from the blow and what they deny in this generation they admit to be the indisputable truth in the next. In the little farm in Genesee county, X. Y., where the writer tries to grow our staple flowers, the land has here and there a large granite boulder; perhaps a few rods farther on is a great slab of limestone. Both the granite and limestone must be countless ages older than the soil or sub-soil, or anything you can dig up for fifty feet beneath the surface. These granite boulders and limestone chunks were carried by the glacier from hundreds, perhaps thou- sands, of miles north and in its move- ment south, as it slowly melted, it dropped here and there pieces of rock that it had scrajied off and carried along from northern lands. In New England and some parts of fertile Ontario you will see the boulders so thick you can jump from one to another for a mile or more. This must have been where a glacier took a long rest and deposited its rocky increment. One day a few years ago one of the men who was working on the laml brought me two fossil horns, or what he thought were horns of some ancient short-horn cattle. They tapered from the base, where they had grown on the skull, and had the rings and were in- deed very like petrified horns, but thev were nothing of the sort. My learned friend. Prof. Cowell, who is a geologist, said they were the remains of some mol- lusc and had come to where they were found in the limestone deposited in the glacial period. Now the petrified article of Mr. Baur's is almost identical in ap- pearance to a piece of those "horns." It is possible that it may be the corm of a ealla and the action of the gravel has produced petrification, and I am go- ing to submit tliis curious specimen to the same learned authority and let you know and apologize for this long yarn, hut being indo. 000; half cash, balance on lime; or will take a partner with $1 000 or $1 500.

There is very little stock at any of the ^vhole- sale houses, but I do not doubt but that if you were to visit the cellars at the various greenhouses you could find au abundance of nearly everything. Taken in all branches business is better than last iveek, but is still nothing to brag about. Carnations are shorter than ever, if possible. Eoses are in fair supply. Harrisii lilies, also callas. are coming in and meet with ready sale. Violets are scarce and many more could be sold. Valley and narcissi are in good form. A few short and medium chrysanthemums now and then are quickly snatclied up by the retailers, as white iJowers are scarce. Sniilax is in over-supply at present, but Aspargus Sprengeri, plumosris and adi- antum are not equal to the demand. Various Notes. .T. A.

Stock in Good Shape. Denver's cut flower market will be better supjilieil this Christmas thau at any previous stage in its history and the same might be said of its plant de- partment. Never in the writer 's mem- ory has he seen such good material at this time of the year, and all growers, as well as dealers, are looking for a good holiday trade. Beauties and violets may be rather -short, although Mauff's big addition to his plant, as well as the Hall and Glauber crops, will supply a large addition to what has been cut heretofore. Maler & Denkworth and the old reliable, A. Schenkel, are our only successful violet growers here and will be pretty well supplied with stock. Many of our carnation growers were late in getting their plants housed and consequently Lheir main crop is now good. Peterson, of Barnam, who de- votes all his establishment to carnation culture, has been exceptionally late this year. Did angling for the speckled beauties last August have something to do with it. Ben Boldt's Poinsettias. Tlie olil Mml Lake greenhouses, at Harris, which have had many ups and downs since they were first started, some twelve years ago by Haycox & Huddard, aud now owned by the Dan- iels & Fisher department store, have been completely renovated and I might saj', resurrected, under the able man- agement of Ben Boldt. Ben's friends here are numerous aud this, along with his being a good entertainer and his stock worth seeing, takes many of the Denver fraternity out to Harris. Poin- settias, roses and carnations are in the highest state of perfection. In fact such poinsettias were never before seen in Denver, although Ben has before now produced some good ones at another es- tablishment. His mode of propagating is quite new in Denver, and probably so in other parts of the country, and may be worth referring to here. The orig- inal stock was received last spring in a dormant condition from California. This he placed on a gentle bottom heat. Some of the canes produced from these stumps were big enough to look through and far too big for the boys to make pop guns from. This first growth, as most gi'owers know, is rather difficult to propagate, but the second crop of cuttings are the ones lliit hnvc pro- duced such large si>eciiuens as are now seen, bracts fully as large as those seen around Los Angeles and far more dura- ble. The wood propagated in August, although not as tall, produced bracts fully as big, some measuring twenty- n Invitation is extended to buyers of D ACS AC **"• CHRISTMAS ■ClF9t?9 and all Winter to come here and sec the quality and quantity we can supply.

The old stumps were uti- lized for bush plants and are far more decorative and natural in appearance than the flat, made-up pans. Those in 10-iueh pans, carrying about twelve bracts of varying size and height of stem, make novel specimens. I would like to learn how extensively the Cali- fornia stock has been used and if the results are good. The late propagation from this stock makes better stuft' for S-inch pans, as they produce much larger bracts and healthy foliage. The Best Carnations. The carnations and roses are in the highest state of cultivation. Chatenay is very good here and seems to be an easy rose to grow. Norway and White Cloud are the white carnations grown here, and Enchantress, as elsewhere around Denver, has been very satisfac- tory. I measured several which went four inches. This carnation has proven a good keeper under various treatments and can be utilized in so many kinds of floral work that it is considered the best all around variety that has visited the Eockies. Lawson, which is as pro- ductive as ever, has deterioratea in size out here, but Mauif is growing some very good flowers. Davis Bros, confine nearly all their establishment to this variety and have all their crop looking very good. Adonis is considered the best red out here and Harlowarden *lie best crimson. The latter is fine in stem and form and Benson thinks it superior to the other crimsons in color. Of the older whites, Wolcott is holding its pop- ularity and Crane is taking a back seat, especially at the Park Floral Com- pany 's, wh«re a new seedling of Mr. Valentine's has superseded it, clearer in color, larger and far more produc- tive.

Tl|( by WiLUAM Scott Is a book of 224 Urge pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review), 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, hke those in an ency- clopedia, 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 aoo fine half-tone engrav- ings. It is A Complete Reference Book for Commercial Florists and is a whole library on practical commeicial flori- culture in one volume. It is very handsomely and substantially bound in half leather, with specially designed title in gold. Price, $5.00 Carriag-e Prepaid. Florists' Publishing Co., 'Tild>ng. Chicago. FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. The Gardeners' Chronicle. Chrysanthemums. — The new set of "W. Wells & Co., Surrey, iucliides a yel- low sport from Miss E. Fulton; Dora Stevens, rosy cerise ; J. H. Doyle, the gold medalist of Jlelbourno. Australia; Mers- tham Eed, Merstham Yellow, Mrs. H. A. Allen, a deep, rich, rosy pink, similar to Mme. Carnot, on a four- foot stem; Mrs. W. Duckham, Mrs. Barnard Hanlsey and Mis-s Alice Dighton, the two incurved which received first-class certificates at the National Chrvsanthemum Society's Show; Yellow Petit Amie, Red Barkley and the yellow Ivy Stark. Nephkolepis Westoni. — This is a very pri'tty cre-sted variety of X. ensifolia. The type is remarkable for the thick, leatliery substance of its fronds; the va- riety partakes of this quality, aud should make a useful market fern. At first sight it somewhat resembles N. daval- lioides furcans. but tlie branching crests from each pinnule are shorter, and all the fronds on the plants shown were fer- tile, while in X. davallioides furcans it is rarely that fertile fronds are pro- duced. The symmetrical habit and good substance of the fronds should insure its becoming a useful market fern, and the award of merit was well deserved. The Rubus. — Rubus reflexus (or mo- luccanus), which was one of the plants of the year at Ghent this spring, is grown largely at the famous establishment of M. Truffaut, at Versailles, France, and is making its way steadily into public favor. Begonias. — Perhaps no changes in plant form are more remarkable than those that have been effected in begonias. Two novelties iu the fancy foliage sec- tion are His Majesty and Our Queen, the result of reciprocal crosses of B. Rex and B. laciniata. The leaf has much the shape of laciniata, but the markings are very distinct and novel. The merits of both were recognized by the floral committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. Roses. — M. Bailiff describes Zephyrine Drouhiu as being remarkably hardy, being cultivated at high elevations among the Alps and Jura mountains; and he also notes that it is a thornless! variety. The foliage is subpersistent, and the va- riety strong-growing, floriferous, and an excellent climber. Its pretty and scented blossoms are semi-double, of a tender rose color, and open in succession from May to late autumn. This rose does well as a bush, or as a climber on trell- ises and walls. It is easily grown from cuttings of the ripened wood. Canand.\igua, K. Y. — McKerr & Haw- ley have five houses of good stock, prin- ciiially roses and carnations, and are doing a nice business. 242 The Weekly Florists' Review, December ^4. 1903 CLASSIFIED PLANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

Hawes, head gardener to the Eoyal Botanic So- ciety, writes: "A number of experiments are' now being conducted in flio glass- houses and gardens of the Eoyal Botanic Society, Eegent's Park, with a view to thoroughly test the value of hydrocyanic acid gas for the destruction of insect pests on plants. The gas is used as a fumigant. Although it is too early yet to arrive at a general conclusion, or to make recommendations, it seems cer- tain that with proper care hydrocyanic acid gas is safe and effective. Its action on mealy bug is all that can be desired, and the" plants themselves do not suffer. When the gas is more easily obtained, and better understood, I feel quite sure it will be adopted bv all growers for the destruction of insect pests. Other mater- ials are also being experimented with, and from the same point of view, and there is every reason to assume that ere long some useful remedies will be placed in the hands of cultivators." Cactus Dahlia Dainty. — Cactus Dah- lia Daintv. which obtained a first-class certificate" from the >^ational Dahlia So- ciety, and also an award of merit from the"Eoval Horticultural Society, ou Sep- tember" 1.5 last, very nearly approaches the ideal we have repeatedly held up m connection with the cactus section. It is of good form, attractive color, and has stiff, wiry stems that hold the blooms erect and clear of the foliage without artificial assistance. The flowers are not of the largest size, but this can in no way bo regarded as a fault. The coloi' is. "for the most part, a pleasing shade of rose, but the central segments are heavily shaded with old gold, as also are the bases of the outer segments, this bright glow of color, combined with the bright rose, giving the flower a charming and dainty appearance. This new va- riety is one raised by Hobbies, Ltd., of Dereham, Norfolk. Chrysanthemums. — C. Harman Pavne writes: "Although I have for some years past had correspondents in almost every country in Europe where chrysanthemums are grown, yet until this week 1 never had one in Spain. It is interesting to find that even in that coun- try the gorgeous golden flower from the far east is likely to make a foothold. An English gentleman, writing to mo from one of the northern towns, is de- sirous of knowing the rules upon which cut blooms are judged. He rightly says that he presumes something besides size is required to gain a prize. ' ' Chrysanthemums. — No Japanese chi-ysanthemum has stood out so conspic- uously good in the leading exhibits dur- ing tiie present chrysanthemum season as the yellow, graceful F. S. Vallis. Mrs. Mileham has run it close, perhaps, but M. Calvat's seedling named after the enthusiastic and highly successful young grower of Bromham, Chippenham, has been first favorite. Although of large size, this variety is exquisitely beautiful, the long, drooping florets making up a deep and refined flower of great attrac- tiveness.

WESTERN WHOLESALERS MEET. Representative nurserymen from Mis- souri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Ne- braska, Iowa and Alabama have been in session at Kansas City. It was the an- nual meeting of the Western Association of Wholesale Nurserymen. Owing to tlie absence of A. L. Brooke, of Topeka, the president, the sessions were presided over by the vice president, R. H. Blair, of Kansas City. The secretary is E. .J. Hol- raan, of Leavenworth. Aside from a dis- cussion of matters intimately connecteil with trade affairs, there wa"s a list of addresses on general topics. A. Willis, of Ottawa, Kan., urged the necessity of the association forming a fund to punish dishonest dealers and salesmen, and pre- sented feasible plans as to how it can be done. Other papers presented were from J. Brown, of Geneva, Neb. ; E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, la.; F. N. Stannard, Otta- wa., Kan.; J. H. Skinner, Topeka, Kan.; J. AY. Schuette, St. Louis. Favorable comment was expressed by the delegates that farmers are devoting more attention to fruit culture, and are reaping the ben- efits from the good prices brought for apple.s, peaches and plums. There is also a growing demand for western fruit trees in the coast countiy, and the num- ber of exclusive fruit growers is increas- ing. Spkixgfield, Mass.— Wm. F.

The eamt'llia is hardy in California and thrives well in most locations except in our warm interior valleys. For many years the plants .sold by local dealers were imported either from the eastern nurseries or from Europe. In the last fifteen years wo have received many thou- sands of the native Japanese camellias and some of them are very tine, and when |>roperly handled make a very satisfac- tory garden plant. We used to think that the plant liked a shady place and matured its flowers better when sheltered iu the neighborhood of some wall or building, but experience lias proven that tliey sneceed fully as well in the open if the drainage is good and they are given an abundance of water in the summer time. The single camellias seed very freely and there is no trouble in raising plants for grafting or in arching and strong stock is easily propagated in this way. They can also be grown from cuttings, but aro not very quick in rooting and it takes fully four years l)efore a salable plant is the result. In .Tapan camellias are propagaled both by cuttings and grafting and the climate being exactly suited to their requirements they make a Iilant large enough to sell iu much- sliorter time than they do liere. When they are grown in pots they make a sliort. stubby growth and when grown in the open ground the growtli is ranker and with less flower buils. The old wliite variety Alba Plena is still the finest of its color and succeeds better under glass — that is, the flowers come more perfect than they do outside. This is true of all the white varieties, but of the other cohu'S there is no advantage in growing any of them in a greenhouse. One of the best points of this beautiful shrub is the fact that its flowering sea- son begins about the niidille of November and extends tln-oughout the entire winter and a. portion of the spring, or until ths warm weather in April starts the young shoots growing and then we have a mass of bright glossy leaves all through the summer and fall. Regarding the merits of the dift'erent tidwers I must say the Eni"opean varieties are superior to the .Japanese. Although- some of the latter are verv fine, and I have seen many different shades, I have not found anvthing to eqiml such .sorts as Alba Plena', Mrs. Abby Wilder, Daniel Wel>ster or Sarah Frost. The .Japanese are very fond of single varieties and some of the colors are very beautiful, but they are not as much in demand here as any nf the double sorts. \Vlicre a camellia is j)lanted in the groinul and does well its growth is re- markalily rapid. We have a tree in San I'rancisco o^'er twenty feet in height, and in Sacramento, Cal., there are many specimen plants from ten to fifteen feet high. During their flowering season these trees are a beautifid sight and the won- der and admiration of our eastern visitors. Several hundred perfect flowers are to be counted at any time and when there is a great scarcity of garden flow- ers, as is cust(»mary in flie winter time, the camellia beccunes (Uir most valued' garden slirub.

HYBRID CARNATION SEED of above varieties, mixed $1.00 per lOO; $9.00 per 1000. California Carnation Co., °-» Loomis, Cal. SAN FRANCISCO. The MarkeU We have Ii.iJ considerable rain during the past week, but the weather is not cold; in fact, we have had only three frosty nights thus far this season, and it is now almost Christinas. Business is quiet in all the stores, and there is lit- tle doing except funeral work. We all expect a big Christinas trade, but wheth- er it comes up to expectations or not I will be more able to tell you later on. Carnations, owing to the warm weather, are still very plentiful, of good quality and very cheap. The best of the fancy varieties are selling wholesale at from 35 to 50 cents per dozen. Lawsou, Crocker, Estelle, Cressbrook, Flora Hill, Bradt and almost all the other good kinds are selling at from 25 to 30 cents "per dozen, and Portia, Seott and Joost at 20 to 25 cents. This is really no higher than they have been for the last two months, and fully 25 per cent cheaper than they were last year at this time. Should the weather get colder prices may stiffen somewhat, but it is very evident there will be no shortage of carnations this year. With roses it is somewhat different. I have visited not less than a half dozen of our largest growers during the past week and with most of them there seems to be a great scarcity of first-class t stock. Several have large houses devoted to American Beauties, and they are generally off crop. Brides, Maids and Testout are fairly plentiful, but fancy stock of these varieties is scarce. Several growers are sending in large quantities of small, weak-stemmed flowers, but there is little STRONGLY ROOTED C4RN4TI0NS ■- NOW Ready. GBOWN- OUT OF DOOBS AND BOOTED WITHOUT EEA.T.

Business is opening up in pretty good shape and if it increases as the week progresses we shall be satisfied. There are wliisperiugs and mutterings here and there that business in the large depart- ment stores is not up to expectations. We know there has been a serious check to the wonderful prosper- ity of the past two or three years, but it will hardly affect our little business. In bad times our busi- ness is tho last to feel it and the slowest to recover, but I don't want to be pessi- mistic and during tho holidays to come I expect to see everything salable go and at a good price. Holly is plentiful, but ground pine is not to be had and of course, as it is very scarce, it is in great demand. Our Main street florists are showing windows that are gorgeous in color. Nothing like it. ' ' Wash all you got and hang out all your wash, " is a most excellent business motto and I daresay was understood in ancient Pompeii as now. Various Notes. The weather has let up in severity, but it never was cold compared to a taste of central New York recently experienced in the city where Flamingo soars su- preme. Eemarks made by Mr. Marqvdsee on Friday last froze in my ears and not till I was in a warm ear of the N. Y. C. did I get their full meaning. Miss Rachel Eebstock is finely equipped to do business. Besides Mr. Peek in her employ, she has now the artistic assistance of Mr. Schnell, late of Thor- ley's, later of Palmer's and now late of Butte, Montana. Governor Odell was the guest of the Chamber of Commerce on Saturday even- ing and sat down with 300 of our city's leading spirits. Flowers were not lav- ishly used. Miniature holly trees in prettily decorated jars were the feature and very appropriate, too. Y'ou will all be so busy counting the proceeds of Christmas business that any more Buf- falo notes will be wasted. W. S. I HAVE dropped other papers in pref- erence for the Review. — C. C. Wonne- MANN, Mexico, Mo. FLSIV1INGO The finest scailet carnation ever intro- duced. Brilliant color: large, line flower: fra- erant: Kreat keeper: Iodb. stifY stems: early, free, continuous and ideal in babit. ALBATROSS The whitest of the whites. Early, will produce fine flowers in the field. A constant bloomer, never produces a weak stem, strongly clove scented. A most extraordinary keeper, a business carnation, a money-maker. SUNBIRD The strong'est, most vIetotous and most prolific of the yellows. Beautiful form, large flower, etifl stems, as free as any variety, is universally admired and sells readily. L E.

The best that the market affords. Place your orders with us and you will not be disappointed. C. C. POLLWORTH CO, MILWAUKEE, WIS. PITTSBURG. The Market. Business last week was similar to pre- vious years; the week oefore Cbristmas was a (lull one. Eoses arrived in large quantities and some of the stock was not fit for sale, it had such a soft and un- healthy appearajiee. Maids and Brides were sold at very low prices. Carnations are very scarce; in fact, have been so since November. The stock which is of- fered is fine. Sweet peas, mignonette and cut baby primroses are very plentiful and sell well. Smilax is slow sale. Store Decorations. Eandolph & jreClements had a beauti- ful window decoration of poinsettias; they also displayed many new designs in fancy baskets, etc. Mrs. E. A. Williams' pretty down-town store has taken on its Christmas attire; in fact, it is a dream. Mr. Shieflf, manager, reports business fine. Breitenstein & Flemm are displaying many new and unique novelties in box- wood and immortelle work. Geddis & Blind have a very striking window dis- play of red bells at their new store. L. I. Neff is selling quantities of boxwood and immortelle wreaths. Mr. Neff has one of the oldest down-town cut flower establishments in Pittsburg. Thomas M. TJIam has one of the prettiest windows in Pittsburg, of red bells and poinsettias. Various Items. G. & J. W. Ludwig made up an arm chair last week for a funeral, for which they will receive $150. Their work was well executed. E. C. Ludwig reports business fine and has more advance orders for Christmas than last year. Ernest will open up a new store in the Allegheny Diamond, April 1. Several losses by frost were reported last week. W. E. Maebius had a wagon- load of decorative plants frozen; loss $60. H. L. Bund & Bros, also received a shipment of azaleas which came by freight and was frozen beyond recovery. David Geddis is receiving congratula- tions on a fine baby boy. Mrs. Geddis and son are doing well. Eeeent visitors: A. J. Guttman, New York; Ed. Rcid, Philadelphia; J. M. Gates, Sistersville, W. Va, ; Arthur Lang- hans, Wheeling, AV. Va. ; I. S.

  • lcntiful. There will also be a good su]iply of bulbous stock, poinset- tias, azaleas, cyclamens, etc. The only notable shortage is violets. While the |dants are clean, vigorous and healthy, lliey do not bloom. This seems to be the general complaint with all the growers. Bouquet green is very scarce, but holly is plentiful and good. Commission men are offering it at a low figure, as usual, but a good quality article sells readily at .+0 per case. Mistletoe is especially line this season. Pepper berries are seen in some of the stores and are very at- tractive. X. Y. Z. Toledo, O. — Mrs. E. Suder says busi- ness is good but there is a great scarcity of carnations.

MUMS DAMPING, We have sent you some mums that we are having trouble with. The varieties are Robinson, Eaton and Appleton. We benched them .June 1-5 in rotted sods and mixed with l.ione meal. They grew nicely all through the summer and were six feet high by the first week in November, with large buds partly developed. But the outer petals start to decay. We have had bright sunshine every day for six weeks, and that made the mums grow quite fast, the temperature rising to 70 degrees in the daytime and 50 degrees at night. Kindly tell us why the outside petals decay. E. B. It is late in the day to answer this query, since it has been lost in the mails for a month, but as a matter of courtesy to E. B. we would say that his troubles were what is kuowu as damping of the flowers. This trouble was very prevalent this fall iu many sections of the eoiuitry and was due primarily to the warm weather, which made the flowers soft and susceptible to injury from the moisture condensing on the petals. AVlien this appears I would rec- ommend always to shade the glass by spraying some lime over it with a syi-inge. This will keep down the tem- jierature and keep the sun off the flow- ers. Xever close the house up tight when the flowers are developing, except in very severe weather. The chrysanthemum needs, when the flowers are finishing, a i-ool, dry moving atmosphere. Spraying should be stopped and only such water applied to the benches as is necessary to ieep them moist. As a general thing the finer grown the plants the more suscep- tible are the flowers to damping and much care has to be taken when the days are warm and bright, as they were this year. Brian Boru. STOCK MUMS AND EATON. .Mv ciirysanthenuims are cut and I am needing bench room for lettuce. How shall I handte the old plants so as to get stock off of them for next season? Can I remove them from the bench? Also Store of J. W. Dudley & Son, Parkersburg, W. Va. 266 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Deckmbku VA. 1903. please tell me whr my Batons did not open in the center but turned black. L. IT. W. The plants may be moved from the bench and replanted in boxes or pots or planted closel.y together at one end of the bench, whichever may be convenient. There is no ditficulty in handlini; stock plants if they are only placed in a cool house for the winter months. If room is very limited the cuttings may be taken ofif now and rooted in sand. Then the old plants may be thrown away entirely and the stock increased in spring by top- ping the cuttings rooted now. This lat- ter course is preferable to setting the stock plants under the bench, somewhere where they are neglected entirely until needed in the spring. With regard to the Batons turnine; black, L. H. W. is only in the same pre- dicament as manj' other growers. The weather was too warm and the flowers were very soft and spotted easily, the consequence being that many varieties suffered heavily. If his flowers were not spotted except .iiist the center it is;pos-,!| siWe that L. H. W. had been spraying his plants too much after the bud showed color. The cup-shaped formation of the bud of Eaton is such that water l&ys in it and spraying should be stopped as soon as the bud shows color. BKrAX BoKX\ PRIMULA POISONING. Several subscribers having recently written as to having been poisoned by handling Primula obconica, we reprint herewith notes as to remedies which have been published when the question has previously been under discussion : One reader writes: "As to a remedy for poisoning by Primula obconica, would say I have been poisoned several times_ I used Luytie's Pinus ointment as a local application and sulphur and cream of tartar to purify the blood. I used one-third cream of tartar and two-thirds sulphur, mixed well. Dose, one teaspoon- ful every morning in milk. Also take good nourishment. I have never known it to fail." Another sa.ys : ' ' Tell the sufferer to try good thick sweet cream well and fre- quently rubbed on as a lotion. This has with us proved a sovereign remedy. ' ' A Connecticut reader writes : "It seems to me that the action of Primula obconica poisoning is similar to that of the poison ivy. The cure in both eases, UK far as my experience goes, is a free application of tincture of blood-root. .\pply the tincture with a sponge or clean cloth to the parts affected. T hav(^ known of several cures by this tincture where the poisoning has been caused by either the ivy or the primula." ' ' A few applications of peroxide of hydrogen gave me relief, ' ' writes a Pennsylvanian.

The new year will bring with it much work in the houses, ilany crops have been disposed of, or shrunk in volume, and future crops will need attention. Of as much importance as any crop is the Easter lilies, both the Japan and Ber- muda. I hear some growers still say that they like the Bermuda variety the bt>t ; that 's because they may have some difficulty in getting the Japan-grown bulbs in time. Those that have the Ber- muda bulbs up seven or eight inches now will certainly have no trouble in getting them in bloom by Easter, even in a night temperature of 55 degrees. 1 know that some eastern growers do not care about getting their Japan bulbs into heat much before New Year's. If they are well rooted and have but an inch or so of growth at this time, they have no trouble in flowering them in time. To leave them in a cold frame till New- Year's would have been, for us, risky this year, for we have had a most steady cold December. So we brought them in early in the month and kept them in a cool house and they are now not two inches above the soil and, if well rooted, that will do. From now on, for two or three weeks, give them 55 degrees at night ; then increase to 60 degrees and the last month they will need 65 de- grees. The degree of temperature must be governed by the condition of the plant. ^' -h-m. ^.M, ' %'"#■ A House of the New Scarlet Carnation, Crusader. You cannot put a thousand lilies into a house at any given temperature and expect that the whole lot, or even half of them, will bloom at the same time. They will not ; there will be a difference of several weeks. This is more notice- able with the Bermuda than with the Japan bulbs, showing that the Bermudas we get nowadays are a very mixed lot. So some handling, perhaps a good deal, is needed to get ninety per cent in bloom at the right time. I have found that these lilies do not like to be taken at once from a night temperature of 60 degrees and placed in 50 degrees. Un- less their buds are about ready to open they will just about stand still, but it will be some time yet before that will be necessary, and I will remind you again. No one has said positively what is the cause of the tips of the lily leaves turn- ing brown. It may be the constant fumi- gating that is necessary and the slowly burning tobacco dust is preferable to burning stems_ There is more nicotine and less hot smoke. There is, however, no doubt that the twisting and bursting of the buds is the result of a puncture by aphides when the buds are very small, and therefore a spraying with weak to- bacco water into the heart of the crown of the thickly clustered leaves is essen- tial before the buds are visible. Dutch Bubs. Tulips and Von Sion narcissi can now be brought in without much fear of failure. The greatest essential to early flowering is that they be well rooted in the flats and those put into the flats soon after received will now be in tliis condition. For all of January and part of February a strong heat is necessary. It should be evident to all that the nearer you get to their natural flowering time the less forcing is required. This holds good not only with bulbs but with all the roots and shrubs we flower in the greenhouse. Vermilion Brilliant, Y'ellow Prince, Cottage Maid, Proserpine and La Reine, among tulips, and Trumpet Major and Von Sion narcissi you are sure to grow and they will want a top heat of SO de- grees at least. Only those forcing large quantities have a house that can be called such a hot box as that, but you can, by putting some cheese cloth over them and hanging it down in front of the bench, easily confine the heat around them. I am supposing you have a bench with two or three hot water or steam pipes be- neath it and you let the heat come up between the wall and the bench. They want no bottom heat; in fact, a strong I)K.rr.Mni;ii :;i. 1003. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 267 Carnailon Crusader. Carnation Reliance.

A strong, moist top heat is what they want and the shade of the cheese cloth will draw up the stems and this drawiug up by shade is necessary until the middle of February, after which they make stem, enough. Water copiously every day and if you are tiring hard, spray once be- sides. Lily of the Valley. You can from now on force the newly imported roots. As I have had occasion to say before, the conditions for success- fully forcing the valley are almost di- rectly opposite those for tulips. The val- ley makes no roots : it is brought in per- fectly dormant and by great heat at the roots the flower is forced up. Not less than six inches of sand should be in the bed for, little as the roots seem to do. they should have only their tips chopped off. If the sand is 85 degrees and the atmosphere 50 you will have about ideal conditions. The base of the pip should he even with the surface of the sand. We have covered the pips or crowns with sphagnum moss and left some uncovered and noticed no difference. One of the most important features of ^the operation is that the edge of your bench should have a board hinged at the level of the sand and when you water the sand, which is daily, this board can be let down so that you can water the bed without wetting the flowers. For the fii'st two weeks they can be watered over- head, but as soon as the spike appears only keep the sand moist. Above the level of the sand the boards on all sides should be one foot higher. The first two weeks we cover with a shutter made of 14-inch boards. Then we use in place of the boards a frame of cheese cloth and for the last few days, unless the sun is strong, nothing at all, as full daylight gives color to the foli- age. There were many experiments and mistakes made in forcing this daintv flower and perhaps the writer does not know it all yet, but we know that a warm, wet sand and cool top, keeping water away from the Imds and flowers are the great essentials. By putting in a few hundred or few thousands, according to your wants, every week without a miss you will have valley till it is in flower out of doors. If you should be going to rig up a bed to hold a few thousands, don 't let it be in a house that perhaps in March you will want to run up to 70 degrees to force some belated lilies. If you do your val- ley will be a failure. Keep a cool top. Lilacs. It is very nice to have a few white lilacs from now on. They are easily brought into flower if you have the tem- jierature, which for some weeks yet should be 70 degrees. Keep them well sprayed till they show color. Shifting Geraniums. One of our most important jobs at New Year 's is to shift our zonale geraniums from a 2-inch to a 3-inch. Some may consider this a waste of labor and mav keep them in the 2 or 2i->-iDch till the middle of February and then shift into 3V2 or 4-inch, their last shift. We think the shift now into a 3-inch pays well. They will take up little more room and be much stouter and more vigorous and by the end of this month will give u.s, the most of them, a cutting, "a little piece off the top. " And by this shift now their roots are active and they break strong and sturdy and the final shift into 4-inch, wheii they _ will want lots of room, can be deferred till after Easter. Eambler and hybrid perpetual roses will want starting soon, but they will wait a week. Willi.a-M Scott. CARNATION NOVELTIES. The accompanying illustrations show two of the Chicago Carnation Com- pany's novelties. Crusader is the scar- let which showed up so well at the last Chicago Florists' Club exhibition. Mr. Hartshorne says, in speaking of this variety: "A¥e did not claim great " +'0- it as an exhibition variety, but now it seems there is nothing in sight that can equal it in this respect. The color is even, there being no white spots on it at all. Mr. Wieuhoeber, of Chicago, who handles tlie blooms, claims it to be the ideal shade of scarlet for his trade, it being more of the old Portia color than the Adonis. ' ' The photograph of the house also repro- duced here shows a very fine growth and a big crop of buds. Reliance is their new white, a very regularly formed flower and a free ' •!» sforpil iHl points on sev- eral occasions, but Mr. Hartshorne says it is no more than justice to state that in the recent cold, dark weather, from 10 to 20 per cent have bureted. VIOLET GROWING. Violet growing is something that every florist must have a try at before he can be content, and it is a business which many a woman, and man, too, believes can be engaged in without experience but with quick success. To the latter the article on A^iolet Growing as a Business, by B. T. Galloway, published . in the January issue of Country Life in Amer- ica, will probably be an encouragement to make the experiment, although Prof. Galloway canuot be charged with not having sought to point out the difficult- ies and the chances of failure. Prof. Galloway is chief of the bureau of plant industry in the United States Department of Agriculture and author of Commercial Violet Culture, the stand- ard work on the subject and now in its second edition. The article under review deals with the writer's experience in company with P. H. Dorsett in building the violet growing establishment at Gar- rett Park, Md., now conducted by David Bisset. The aim is primarily to interest the amateur reader, but many points covered are of interest to the trade grower. Beginning with twenty hotbed sash, t'ae first step was to buy stock from the advertisers of " cuttings. " " We found,'' says Mr. Galloway, "that they could be purchased all the way from $5 to .$20 per thousand, but we did not find, until a year later, that the $20 cuttings were often many times the cheapest. Thev were really divisions of 268 The Weekly Florists* Review. Decemdek ai. l'J03. the old crowns anU had not been rooted in sand at all, as should have been the case. ' ' The first year's expense, including material for a house 20x60, -sras $130, and the receipts $260. The next season $410 was spent and $640 received. The third year $250 was the outgo, no addi- tions being made to the glass, and the income was $1,220. The fourth year a new house was built and expenditures were $430, with receipts of $2,700. All the work of building, etc., was per- formed by the partners to the yenture. Tlio sash bars, etc., came from a western firm, for ' ' we found we could get the material and have it shipped a thousand miles cheaper than it could be made for us by local dealers. ' ' ' ''the article shows that in the second year, with average commercial stock, 916 plants of Marie Louise gave 21,215 flowers, or an average of slightly more than twenty-three to the plant. At the same time 1,895 plants of Lady Camp- bell gave 97,485 flowers, or more than fifty-one per plant. But the most inter- esting feature to the trade grower is the success which attended the use of sand-rooted cuttings taken from care- fully selected plants. The best 200 plants were marked with a wire stake to which a shipping tag was attached for recording the cut. With the use of this tobacco killed aphis, but brought on spot. Cyanide gas was found the best tumigant after its use was thoroughly understood. But perhaps Messrs. Gal- loway and Dorsett did not lack in the foresight and attention to little things, which they say is at the bottom of most failures in violet growing. To the mind of the average trade reader one sentence in Mr. Galloway's very interesting article fails of the proper emphasis. It is this: ' ' Thomas Devoy & Sons are pioneers in the business and have gone on suc- cessfully from year to year, althougli others about them have succeeded for a while and failed." (The italics are ours.) ' ' Succeeded for a while and failed. ' ' There's the rub. Far better were it if failure came in the beginning, when the place is small, the loss light and youth and ambition remain to seek suc- cess on some road where the end is not almost certain discouragement. FREDERIC W. TAYLOR. The chief of the departments of agri- culture and horticulture at the St. Louis World's Fair was born in Nebraska in I860, and, though widely traveled and having spent two and a half years in the Pan-American Exposition in Buf- falo, is essentially and always a typical I ^^^^^1^^ ^ 1^^ ■■ . s\:''^wm'^^w^m^' ::■' • Frederic W. Taylor. (iuperiQtendent of Agriculture and Horticulture. St. Loui8 Exposition ) stock and a very small increase in the number of plants the returns were prac- tically doubled. The next year cuttings were taken from no plants which did not give at least seventy-five flowers, and thei'e was a still further increase in crop. This is a point worth the thought of every grower. Mr. Galloway does not seem to have enjoyed more than a mild experience with the many ills which ruin other growers ' crops almost in a day. He says he found red spider to be controlled by the hose. Heavy fumigation with western man, with the energy and push which that term implies. His father, William Taylor, was a well-known nur- seryman in western Iowa, and almost immediately upon reaching his majority the son embarked in the business for himself, at the same time managing a large stock farm. In 1887 ilr. Taylor was, without any knowledge on his part that he was being considered, oflfered the professorship of horticulture at the Uni- versity of Nebraska. This position he accepted and held for several years, at the same time carrying the organization and management of the farmers' insti- tutes of the state and of the extension of the university. At the Chicago World's Fair Mr. Tay- lor had charge of the Nebraska horticul- tural exhibit, which the chief of the de- partment wrote to him was not, in his opinion, excelled by any exhibit there when the amount of funds available was considered. A year before the Trans- Mississippi Exposition opened in Omaha in 1898 Mr. Taylor was appointed super- intendent of agriculture and horticul- ture. It is doubtful whether as good a purely agricultural exhibit has ever been made in tliis country. Mr. Taylor in- sisted upon the use of the agricultural products, grains, grasses, etc., in the in- stallation, to the exclusion, so far as possible, of mere showy furniture and carpentry work. The result was aston- ishing and most satisfactory, a. 1 1 1 1 II ff k[^ 1 1 1 1 1 1,1 ' ■ r\ 1 eiJ^^n ■?-t r c -©ox T ' 1 7, r=. ^ f^ 1 L i 1 1 "— Plan for Furnace and Flue wilh Hot Water Coil in Fire Box. FURNACE AND FLUE. I Tvaut to heat a greenhouse ISxoO feet, even span, runuing- east and west, no glass in ends or sides. The side walls are four feet high and the roof is at an angle of about 3.5 degrees. A night tempera- ture of 50 degrees is necessary when it is 10 degrees below zero outdoors. I want to use a tlue and would like full dircc-- tious for building both furnace and flue. I also want to heat an adjoining greenhouse 10x20 feet, glass in one end. roof at an angle of 35 degrees, even span, side walls four feet high. Here a night temperature of 60 degrees is need- ed. I want to use hot water to heat this small house. How can I arrange pipes in the furnace in the larger house to heat the small one? Also how many and what size pipes will it take to heat the house ? E. W. H. While the flue is not to be recommendeil where other plans of heating can be af- forded, the house in question can be heated by a flue and furnace constructed as shown in the sketches. Fig. I and II. Locate the furnace at the wes^t end of the house. Dig a pit about four feet wide and two feet deep extending at least five feet inside the gi-een- house and any convenient distance on the outside. Construct a drain of tile on boards to carry off any surface water which miglit get into the pit. In Fig. I a plan of the furnace and flue is given. The furnace extends about nine inches outside the greenhouse wall; has walls fhiitecn ii'chcs thick, nine inches com- mon arch brick lined with Are brick. For this building the furn&ce should bo three feet long by one foot eight inches wide ;n the clear on the inside, which gives the furnace five square feet of grate surface. An ash pit eighteen inches deep, count- ing from the top of the grate bars, should be provided. The fire box should •ilso be at least twelve inches in height from grate surface to position of the IVt inch pipes shown in Fig. II, which should be connected at the front of the furnace with return bends and at the rear with cast-iron manifolds. One pipe of each of the five pair should be carried into a manifold to receive the return water and one from each pair carried a little far- ther back into .a manifold to receive the flow pipe wliich is tc heat the 10x20 house. The flow had best be 2-inch pipe. At the end of the manifold "T" on the returns marked "exp." in Fig. II a ^'4-inch reducer should be placed in the tnd of the manifold and into tliis screw a street "L" which should carry a -j,- iueh pipe leading to the peak of the greenhouse and into the bottom of an expansion tank which should hold ten or fifteen gallons. A second-hand steel wa- ter tank is ideal for this purpose. The 2-inch riser or flow pipe cau be carried from the heater directly under the benches in the 10x20 house and thereby i\ manifold be broken up into four 11^- inch pipes running around the house and again uniting in a manifold at the op- posite side of the house. The cooled water would be returned by a 114-inch pipe to the manifold at the rear of the furnace marked (ret) in Fig. II. The heating surface in the furnace will be made up of ten 11/4 -inch pipes running from end to end of the furnace as shown in Fig. II. The flue should run entirely around the house and discharge into a chimney built on top of or by the side of the furnace. The throat "of the flue should be four inches wide and about ten inches deep at the end near the furnace and will be most convenient if taken off at the side of the furnace, as shown in Fig. I. For the first thirty feet the flue should be made of brick four inches and lined with fire brick set on edge, thus making a 6-ineh side wall, which should be capped with a layer of fire brick and jacketed with common brick. From thirty feet on, the flue may be made of ordinary 8-inch terra cotta pipe, using elbows at the corners and packing the .joints thoroughly with the best cement. The earth or supjiorts for the flue should make a uniform grade around the house and have a rise of at least two feet in the distance, which will be' about 110 feet. A "T" joint of terra cotta pipe can be placed on top of the furnace at the proper height to receive the end of the flue, and by extending the perpendic- ular portion of the terra cotta pipe the chimney can be made.

We have in our collection a large rub- ber tree six feet high which I think is diseased, as enclosed leaf shows. Kindly give me advice as soon as possible in the Bevtew. b_ X. The leaf in question does not appear to be diseased, but has been injured by a bad attack of thrips, there being abun- dant evidence of the work of these trou- blesome insects. Unless there are some tender plants in the same greenhouse that may be injured by strong tobacco smoke, I would suggest, as the easiest method to get rid of the thrips, a strong fumigation with tobacco dust, or Aphis Punk on two or three evenings in succes- sion. If not convenient to do this, the plant could be carried out into the potting shed, then laid upon its side on the bench or floor, and given a thorough syringing with strong tobacco water or solution of tobacco soap, turning the plant around in order to reach all the foliage with the insecticide. From the fact that it is not easy to reach all the insects with one ap- plication, it may be found necessary to repeat the dose. W. H. Taplin. A VISIT TO SYRACUSE.

To me the house that was devoted to flowers was a most beautiful sight. Most of you carnation specialists have seen the blooms of Flamingo, but only a few have seen it on the benches. The writer always carries a two-foot rule in his re- volver pocket and a number of the stems were measured. They would average from soil to flower three feet. This would give you a 30-inch stem without crippling the plant. Surelv that is stem 270 The Weekly Florists' Review. Deckiibee 31, 1903. enough, and they hold the flower up per- fectly. While some of the largest flow- ers measured over three inches, you might caU it a plump 3-inch flower. There is no stubbv slow growth or useless grass about Flamingo, every growth runs up to a flower. I saw no bursted flowers or buds. Perhaps when cut the color of the foUage may not be of particular value, but as a growing plant the habit and deep bluish green of the foliage gives it a rich appearance. There may be some other scarlet carnations coming on, aspi- rants for fame, but I have not seen them and the sight of these beds was to me as much an advance over any scarlet ear- nation I have ever seen as Enchantress is over old Morning Glory.

Considerable quantities of eastern violets, all Marie Louise, were received, fifty in a bunch, liberal count, and magnificent stock as compared with even the best Campbell. But even some of this was left over. Cut poinsettias did not clean up. Valley was in large supply and so were Romans and Paper Wliites. Sweet peas found little favor, and tulips on three- inch stems did not have great popular- ity. Large quantities of Sprengeri and asparagus sprays were sold. Since Christmas. All day Saturday the temperature was eight degrees below zero, which isn 't good for business, but the market held firm. Eeeeipts were light, although some of the violet growers had evidently spent their holiday picking to replace the stocks which went into the barrel. White has moved up into line with other stock. Beauties have eased off fully as much as anything, but all crops were cut close and New Year finds tne market active. Local trade has im- proved, and out-of-town business is al- ways brisk in holiday week, for so many young people are at home from school that it is a period of much social life. The cold weather stilJ makes heavy wrapping necessary. Various Notes. Announcement is made that Charles W. McKellar will again engage in the trade on January 1, having jought the selling end of the business of John Mvmo. He has rented the room on the fifth floor of the Atlas block, where the recent flower shows were held and will carry a full line of florists' supplies, in addition to doing a commission business in cut flowers. H. J. iluno, who has had charge for his father, will remain %vith Mr. McKellar. Mr. iluno is con- sidering several changes at his green- houses for next year. He may plant it all to carnations or may put half in lettuce. It behooves those who are known as the local violet growers, which includes those at Grand Eapids and other Michi- gan points, to go out in one corner of a cool greenhouse and take a serious think. Lady Campbell is grown by nearly all, but with very few is the quality sufiiciently good to sell when there are even indifferent grades of Marie Louise to be had, or singles. The very large supplies of Louise in the New York market has led a number of the Hudson river growers to either take con- tracts to supply Chicago retailers for the season or to send consignments to com- mission houses. E. E. Pieser says, and he is in a position where he ought to know, that if our growers cannot do Louise as it is done in New York, they had better get out of the violet business, for eastern violets will soon drive Camp- bell clear off this market. But even the fancy eastern stock is not selling this week. Peter Eeinberg says he doesn't expect to add to his glass this year, but that he will rebuild a large section on the lines of the high houses put up last spring, where the stand of Beauties is now, he says, the best he ever had. The narrow pattern of Garland's iron gutter will be used again, on the high posts. Mr. Eeinberg says Chatenay has been his money-maker this year. He is so well satisfied with uis experience with Liberty that He will cut down his plant- ing one-half next year. E. C. Amling gives it as his opinion that as many carnations were handled at Christmas as in any previous year. Oue of his growers sent 17,000 blooms in good order. The George Wittbold Company has an order for a decoration at Manclel's next month, for which they have bought 350 strings of asparagus." This ought to attract the attention of other State street decorators to this green. C. L. Washburn says that the man who spends all his time in town may know that the lake breeze is chilly, but that he has no adequate conception of what an old-fashioned winter we are having. Out at the greenhouses all efforts are bent on keeping things warm. Five teams are hauling coal seven days a week at Bassett & AVashburn 's and Peter Eein- berg says that forty-five tons a day are burned at his place even when the sun shines. Some of the wholesalers had a pleasant holiday experience with a house in Texas wliich refused C. O. D.'s. But exchanges of confidences are steadily closing this market to those who do not deal squarely. George Eeinberg has 40,000 carnation cuttings ready to ship. He is going in strong on Lawson, not haWng been able to supply the demand last season. The McCormick estate is adding about $10 a month to the rent of each of the wholesalers in the Atlas block, and there is debate as to whether or not cheaper quarters around on Lake street would not give just as much business. Wietor Bros, are cutting a splendid, steady crop of carnations. They find Norway the most satisfactory of the whites, because of its superior keeping quality. A. B. Everett suffered verv heavy loss through the giving out of a boiler on the night of December 21. Mr. McGill, of Barnard's, is suffering from the prevailing complaint of too much weather. The West Park Commissioners an- nounce that $150,000 has been appropri- ated for building a conservatory in Gar- field park. The work will begin iu early spring. The society weddings are numerous and the fashionable retailers are having a good week. The E. F. Winterson Co. is still hand- ling quantities of very fine poinsettias. The next meeting of the Florists ' Club will be held on January 6, when the holiday trade will be the subject up for discussion. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Everybody in the trade reports satis- factory Christmas business. Some of the larger West End establishment 's reports were above expectations and we can safely say from all reports that this was the best Christmas in years in both cut flowers and plants. The wholesalers were busy all week with shipping orders and attending to the wants of the local flor- ists The weather for delivering cut flowers and plants could not have been improved upon. The big snow storm and blizzard that came all of a sudden on Cliristmas afternoon found the florists all smiling, as everything was delivered and the empty wagons returning home. Most of the West End florists started the de- livery of plants on Wednesday, which was a great advantage to both buyer and dealer. The demand for plants favored the bright colors. Poinsettias, Gloire de Ivorraine begonias, colored primulas and dwarf holly trees sold well. Of these a fine lot were seen in the show houses of Weber, Waldbart and Ayers. The green trade was big, ground pine being very scarce. Holly was plentiful and mistle- toe very fine. The demand for wreaths and wreathing was the best in years and almost everybody reports having sold out early. In cut flowers there was a lively de- mand for almost anything of good qual- ity and especially for roses and carna- tions. These were cleaned up early at exceptionally good prices and many more carnations could have been disposed of. for the supply was not near enough for the demand. Special Beauties were lim- ited and commanded $12 per dozen at the wholesale houses. The $8 and $10 per dozen sorts were more plentiful than the specials and shorts at $2 to $4 per dozen sold out clean. Fancy Bride. Maid. Meteor and Gate brought from $12 to $15 per 100; Carnot $18: Perle $S and $10. Of these 'Brides and Maids were most plentiful. The demand for white roses ran far below that for the colored roses. Carnations were fine in quality and fancy sorts commanded $12 per 100. The varieties that brought this price were Enchantress, Prosperity, Law- son, Gov. Wolcott, Queen Louise and Es^ telle. Good common stock went for .$5 and $6 per 100 Very few were sold for less than $4; the supply was large but not near enough to go around. California violets were also limited and of very fine quality; $2.50 and $3 per 100 was asked for these, with clean sales all around. Bulbous stock, as usual, sold some- what slow, with plenty of it in the mar- ket for all demands, with no advance in prices. Eomans and Paper Whites were .$4 and $5 per 100 for choice stock, but the bulk went at $3 and $4. Valley, too, sold slowly at $4 and $5 and not of extra 1 good quality. Choice mignonette sold at IlECEMBEI! 31. I'.Kiy The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 275 $5 and $0, with fair Jemaud. 8milax aud asparagus and all greens sold «ell at tlieir usual price. The market at present has again as- sumed a normal aspect, which will not change materially because of New Year's trade, as this holiday is not observed much by the tiower loving public here. Stock is not over-plentiful and won't be for some time, with Christmas prices on most of the choice stock. Christmas Retail Trade. Among the retailers tliorc is a general e.vpressiou of satisfaction. In the West End FVed Weber, Theo. Miller and Kalisch & 8ons say that their sales were materially larger than last year, with prices higher. Everything choice sold rapidly. The leading demand was for Beauties, violets and carnations. Their plant trade was the best in _years and a big demand for holly and mistletoe. On Grand avenue, George Waldbart, Mrs. Ayers and the Ellison Floral Co. report a big trade. Mr Waldbart says everything sold out in plants and cut flowers in all classes. Mrs. Avers and Mrs. Ellison have the same story to tell and are glad it's over. P. H. Weber, at Maryland and Boyle avenues, had a big trade in everything. This was his first Christmas in business on his own hook. Mrs. Newman also reports a big holi- day trade, the best in years. Henry Ostertag reports all the busi- ness he could get away with, and more too, for stock ran out. C. Young & Sons Co., as usual, had a fine display of plants and cut ilowers and their big force was kept busy at all times. Everything sold well at this place. Miss Badaracco reports a very satis- factory trade in all lines. At the Riessen Floral Co., Mrs. Buechel says that this Christmas beats all in the cut flower trade and they had to refuse orders that came in late. The North and South End florists all had a good trade to report The Egge- ling Floral Co., on South Grand avenue, say they never had so much to do since they started in business. Various Notes. J. A. Evans, the ventilator man from Richmond, Ind., was in town with a force of men putting up his apparatus at the World's Fair grounds. .T. D. Carmody, of Evansville, Ind., looking finer than silk, spent Sunday in St. Louis, calling on friends on his way to Texas. Arthur Y. Ellison is back from Butte, Mont., where he was with the State Nurs- ery Co. Arthur says he will stay in town until after the World's Fair and will be employed by the Ellison Floral Co. He will also strengthen our bowling forces, being one of our best. Mr. and Mrs. Max Herzog, who were reported sick in the last issue, have not improved much. At this writing Mrs, Herzog is somewhat better, but Max is still a very sick man. Pneumonia in both cases. John M. Hudson, formerly in business here and well known in Philadelphia, had a paralytic stroke the past week, with verv little hopes for recovery. The Florists' Club meeting January 14. in the Odd Fellows' building, should not be forgotten by the members. A dis- play of new carnations is promised and an interesting time is expected. Bowling.

J. J. B. CINCINNATI. The MarkeL The weather which a kind Providence gave to us for our Christmas business, could not have been improved upon The temperature was above freezing, so that no extra care in the delivery of plants and cut flowers was necessary. As a. re- sult our Christmas trade was the most satisfactory that we have had for many a year. Store men as a rule say that there is no money for them in any holi- day business, owing to high prices and the fact that they don 't have the time to give each order the attention it should have, resulting in many kicks and loss. But this year I have heard several of our leading retail florists say that they are satisfied that there is a balance on the right side. It is yet a little early to state .iust how much of an increase there was over last year, but the fact that there was an increase is evident and everyone seems to have had his share. The wholesale houses did a rattling good business ami by noon of Christmas day the ma.iority of them did not have a flower of any description on hand. As usual, Beauty headed the list and the supply was very large, but more could have been used. Medium grades especially were scarce. Meteor and Lib- erty were hard to find at any price. Other roses were about equal to the de- mand, but more first grade stock couhl have been handled to advantage. It was expected that carnations would be very scarce, but many more were han- dled than was anticipated, there being almost enough to fill all orders. Alto- gether they sold for the highest average price ever obtained for this flower in this market. Valley, Romans, narcissi, callas and Harrisii all sold first class and the qual- ity of the stock was very good. There was a large supply of poinsettias but none too many. There were a few mums, some of them very good and all found buyers. To the surprise of all violets turned out to be somewhat of a drug and towards the end the price dropped con- siderably. Some fine Princess of Wales were handled and brought $3 per lOn. This was a banner year for holly and the greatest portion of the stock received in this city w^as first class. Mistletoe, too, was fine. At the present writing stock of all kinds is scarce and Christmas prices still hold good. Indications are that New Year's trade will be very good and that there will be none too much stock. One noticeable feature of the Christ- mas trade was the small amount of pickled stock seen. It is needless to say that this was a very pleasant feature. Various Notes. The next regular meeting of the Flor- ists' Society will be held a w^eek from Saturday. Very few membei's attended the last meeting, owing to the severe weather. At noon Christmas day the tempera- ture was 40 degrees and at midnight it was zero, with a very high wind blowing. Considerable damage was done and many a florist about here spent a sleepless night. Geo. J. Ball, with John Brod, Niles Center, 111., was a visitor. C. J. Ohmer. Wheaton, III. — D. F. Hawkes has been in very poor health this winter and unable to be about. Marietta, 0. — Eufus Turner, the man- ager of J. W. Dudley & Son 's store here, has been dangerously ill in the hospital, but is now slightly improved. Sedalia, Mo. — Holiday trade was very good, but Gelven & Son say that there was plenty of stock to fill all orders, in- cluding those from neighboring towns, while surplus, sto;k was shipped to St. Louis. Auburn, N. Y. — George Dobbs & Son .say trade was the best ever known at Christmas, stock plentiful, but good prices realized. The "Floral Store" started a year ago did an enormous busi- ness. EsTERViLLE, lA. — On the morning of December 18 fire destroyed the residence and greenhouse of Mrs. H. A. Jehu, noth- ing being saved. The loss was about $;?.000, with little insurance. The fire started through a defective heating sys- tem. Winona, Minn. — The Winona Floral Co has taken a long-time lease on the Vo'elker greenhouses and has bought the stock. Tlie plant will be operated in connection with the company 's main es- tablishment, their increased trade having necessitated enlarged facilities. Maxc'hester. Mass. — Hermann Thie- manr, for many years superintendent of the :\Ic:\Iillan e'.»tate at Eagle Head, has an eighty-acre farm near Owosso, Mich., to which he will remove April 1, to en- gage in growing dahlias, peonies and other stock of like character. Springfield, O. — Incorporation papers have been taken out for the Aberfelda Floral Company, capitalized at $10,000. The stockholders are George D. Leedle, Charles C. Leedle, C. P.

Deckmber 31. 1903. Vegetable Forcing. STRING BEANS. This crop is more often grown by tlie private gardener than by the commer- cial man and I am somewhat doubtful if the latter can make it a paying crop for forcing in winter, as it is hard to ob- tain the necessary price. The fact that beans can be shipped from a distance and be quite fresh at the end of the jour- ney brings the southern-grown article into competition with the home product, and it stands to reason that the}' can be j,'rowu !nuch cheaper in the open ground than under glass. Though the express charges run up the price of the southern article somewhat, still it is not enough to balance the price. Yet they can some- times be worked in as a catch crop to fill up space, and where the grower is convenient to a good home market, where a first-class article is wanted, a sufficient price can be procured for them. It is a crop that is easily done and one that is little troubled by insects or disease. Ked spider will sometimes make its appear- ance if the atmosphere of the house is kept too dry, but if this condition is avoided and the plants syringed fre- ciuently little trouble should result from this source. We have tried several varieties for forcing, but find Early ilohawk the best. Some of the others may mature a little earlier, but this is the healthiest grower, freest and produces the largest beans, the quality being excellent. Eaised benches suit the crop best, as they like a warm soil and need to be kept near the glass to encourage stocky growth. Any fairly good soil will suit them. "We sow in rows across the bench, making the rows twelve inches apart, and place the seeds far enough apart so that no thinning will be necessary. But we al- ways take the precaution of first testing the seeds to make sure they are good.

Chas. McCullough, Cincinnati, O.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O, The 22d annual meeting will be held at St. Loula Mo., June. 19(U. L. L. Mat & Co., St. Paul, are mailing their 190-1 catalogue. Vert few 1904 retail catalogues have yet made their appearance. E. H. ViCK -nill start west shortly in the interest of Wra. Hagemann, of New York. The only thing that can be done is to make the best of the short deliveries that are being made. Sevekal sales of sweet corn are re- ported from St. Paul at prices ranging from $6 to $8 per bushel. It looks as though the difference be- tween wholesale and retail prices will be smaller than ever during 1904. The Haven Seed Co., of South Haven, Mich., has been dissolved and will be reincorporated at Arroyo Grande, Cal. The same trouble is being experienced this year as last upon the appraisement of foreign seeds. Vexatious delays are the result. This season preference will be given to the orders from market gardeners and small consumers by many seedsmen who issue catalogues to the trade. The seedsmen who deal in Christmas goods report a fairly good trade. Some over-purchases of Christmas trees have lessened the profits in some instances. A Baltimore seed dealer writes that the trade in general in that vicinity has not anticipated its wants in anything like as heavy quantities as a year ago. The Albert Dickinson Company will proceed at once with an investment of $80,000 in a seed warehouse on the tract of land recently purchased between Min- neapolis and St. Paul. Alfred Plant, of the Plant Seed Com- pany, St. Louis, has passed his eighty- second birthday and spends much of his time at Webster Groves but he keeps well up on what is going on in the trade. The large jobbers report a very lively time at present. All customers are clamoring for shipments. It is slow work getting beans and peas in shape. Sweet corn that has been purchased hangs back remarkably. Foreign goods are being held up at the ports of entry. The rail- roads are wilUng to place cars on track but to get carloads of stuff ready under the circumstances taxes the facilities of the best of them. Burpee's Farm Annual quotes Stowell's Evergreen sweet corn at $6.50 per bushel, but an insert states that ' ' some thousanas of the ' form ' were printed, when an un- expected and unusually severe freeze in- jured a considerable portion of Stowell 's Evergreen sweet corn, as it was not yet thoroughly cured. This reduces the sup- ply to such an extent that we are obliged to advance prices to $2.00 per peck or $7..50 per bushel. Prices on other varie- ties remain unchanged. ' ' Cory is priced at^ -$6.50, Crosby's Early at $6.50 and Country Gentleman at $9. Arlington \\Tiite Spine cucumber is quoted at $2 per pound, and Jersey Pickle at $1.85, Idvingstou 's Evergreen at $1.75. The St. Louis Seed Co., successor to the retail department of the Plant Seed Co., proposes to make florists' seeds and bulbs an important department. They had a big bnlb trade this fall, but have a small stock of many varieties still on hand. The business men of Dallas, Tex., are organizing a corporation for the pur- pose of distributing early maturing cot- ton seed among the farmers of the southwest. The belief is that in early maturity comes immunity from weevil and prosperity for the state. BUT THEY DO. The League of Wholesale Seedsmen protests against the distribution of seeds by the Agricultural Department to the farmers. They needn't worry; the seeds rarely come up. — New York Times. But they do; just there's the trouble. So long as the Department was sending out stuff that was no good, no one cared very much, but now that as good seeds as any are being sent out, it cuts a big hole in the mail order and packet trade. In the cool of the evening one day last summer a well known seedsman not far from Chicago dropped in upon a distin- guished jurist, who had recently become a relative by marriage, and found him taking exercise at work in as well ordered a little kitchen garden as one might ask, "the seeds all sent me by my friend, the congressman, you know. ' ' When the gov- ernment gets to supplying seeds to the seedsmen 's own relatives, what 's one to do? We esteem the Eeview very highly for its Seed Trade news. — Binghamton Seed Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Here's another dollar for the Eeview, which we certainly cannot do without. — Gelven & Sox, Sedalia, Mo. NEBRASKA CITY, NEB. Trade in this city Christmas week showed an increase of lifty per cent over last year and a better understanding of Christmas prices than heretofore. As an afterthought the idea presents itself as to whether a neatly printed slip or card sent with each azalea, Lorraine or poinsettia giving briefly some of the things to do or not to do in order that the plants may remain in good shape as long as possible, would not be a practi- cal and business proposition. Too often the day after Christmas or Easter some one will call up and complain that the azalea is all wilted or the flowers are all falling off, when a glance will show that the ball of roots is as dry as pow- der, or perhaps the plant is standing in a jardiniere or saucer of water. My trade is a trade which has not here- tofore used much of this expensive stock and it seems to me that as a business policy the purchases should be made as satisfactory to the customer as possible. Would not this idea be as practical ap- plied to the retail trade as to the whole- saling of rooted cuttings? I would like to hear what some of the older retailers think of the proposition. H. H. Cottox. Elkhart, Ind. — Anna Schenk, of Gar- land, Ohio, and Clara Seibel, of Polk, Ohio, aged respectively 9 and 19 years, who were risiting here were fatally scalded by steam December 28, in a green- house boiler room.

Death came after he had made a jocose remark to Grand Scribe Hall, of Philadelphia Canton, No. 1, in the latter 's oflice on the first floor. Heart failure is believed to have been the cause.

Bright, sunny weather up to Decem- ber 22 had a tendency to retard orders for Christmas flowers, but a slight snow- . storm on that date brought the public to realize that Christmas was on hand and business became quite brisk. The day before Christmas was a record breaker in the plant department and those who had a limited amount sold out on the 23rd. Prices were no better Than last year and in some cases not quite as good, especially on Begonia Lorraine, which in this dry climate has not given the best of satisfaction to the amateur as a house plant. All retailers have complained of the unsatisfactory results from handling Lorraines, which lose their attraction in a few days from store treatment. Stock of this plant was one month too early out here, consequently there was great loss from this cause. While the cut flower trade was very satisfactory and probably equal to pre- vious years, there was considerable stock left over, owing to the fact that the in- crease in supply was one-fourth over last year and no extra provision made for handling on a retail basis, but the com- mission house came to the rescue again and got rid of the surplus to a great ex- tent by shipping to mountain towns. I think the prominence given plants, and their superior character as grown out here, lessens the sale of cut flowers somewhat, especially among the middle- class, who were formerly our best buy- ers and who now prefer an attractive plant, which has more utility and con- veys the same sentiments, to the extrav- agant dozen of roses, which loses its beauty in a short time. ' The recent change in location of one of the promi- nent retail stores and the establishment of a new firm does not seem to have changed the business of the older firm to any extent, although the new firm re- ports a good trade, especially in plants and Christmas decorations. Great Divide. Various Notes. Christmas opened bright and pleas- ant, with all the florists as busy as could be. Take all of the different es- tablishments, plants ran neck and neck with cut flowers. The main part of the trade came on the last two days. In regard to Christmas greens the florists all had their share and the hoUy in the hands of the florists was fine, with lots of berries. But this line of business is uow mostly in the hands of the street venders, who use an inferior article and sell much cheaper than the florist can afford to. In plants the leaders were "Quality" Many of onr customers tell us that since they commenced using* Our Roses they have no more trouble with g-etting* Satisfactory quality. DON'T YOU WANT TO TBY IT? HELLER BROS., l?o"r*a^l"o^' NEW CASTLE, IND. Mention the Review when you write. poinsettias, azaleas, cyclamens and Be- gonia Lorraine. On the whole the de- mand this year was not so much for Mgh priced plants as for those of medi- um prices. The supply was about equal to the demand. In cut flowers the lead- ing call was for Beauties, roses, violets and carnations. Lyle Waterbury, the commission man. reports good sales of all flowers, with especial call for Madame Chatenay roses and poinsettias, also quite a lot of late mums which went off in a hurry. He had large sale for red bells, etc. His greatest call was for carnations. Owing to labor troubles in the mountains the shipping trade of all fell off a good deal. All the store windows were handsomely decorated, the most noticeable being the Park Foral Co. and the Scott Floral Co., especially that of the latter, which was in red effect, mostly poinsettias and the lights red to match. The Scott Floral Co. reports a great run on the Hunt Christmas bell of tissue paper ros- ettes and ribbon. Emil Glauber brought in a fine lot of Chatenay roses and Uly of the val- ley, which were good sellers. Enchantress was decidedly the leader in carnations, the finest of them com- ing from Benson and Ben Boldt, of Daniels & Fisher, and Ben also had the best poinsettias in the market. At the City Park they had, as usual, the finest bed of poinsettias agoing, but as they are not for sale they did not conflict with the market. The finest azaleas were from the Colfax Avenue Floral Co. and the Park Floral Co., but .Tohn Sked. of the Park Floral Co., led in cyclamen and Begonia Lorraine. Thorne. Omaha, Neb. — Alfred Donaghue, Jr., opened his new store on Farnum street just before Christmas. It is a handsome establishment, with a conservatory in the rear and trade has started out very well.

New Lilies. — Though no particularly new lily has been brought prominently forsvard this year, no less than four have received either first-class certificates or awards of merit from the Royal Horti- cultural Society. This is in excess of many previous years, the general rule be- ing one or two. Lilium auratum platy- phyllum Shirley variety, which gained the higher award, is a very fine form of the broad-leaved variety of L. auratum, and in eveiy way a striking lily. The absence of spots on the flowers is pro- nounced. L. Kelloggi, if exhibited as a hybrid between L. pardalinum and L. rubescens, would be regarded as strictly intermediate between its parents. L. ele- gans Peter Barr is one of the finest vari- eties of L. elegans. L. speeiosum mag- nificum is in all probability an importa- tion from Japan, and is certainly in every way a very fine lily. The color is a deep reddish-rose, with lighter tips, while the basal half of the petals is dotted with crimson. EosES. — With regard to the varieties of a rambling character that are suitable for the formation of pillars, I would sug- gest that less attention should be paid to Crimson Rambler. . It is a marvelous- ly beautiful rose, but it should not be grown to the exclusion of all other varie- ties of a similar character. Not only is variety desirable, but this old favorite appears to greater advantage when associ- ated with others differing in color than when grown exclusively. I would suggest the following, with Crimson Rambler, as desirable where there is space for a few only: Blush Rambler, Dorothy Perkins, Debutante, Queen Alexandra, Perle des Neiges, Psyche, Sweetheart, Tea Ram- bler, Thalia and Waltham Rambler.

Mention the Review when yoa write. INTERESTING IF TRUE. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch of Decem- ber 24 prints the follcwing: Back of the technical charge of petit lar- ceny acainst Thomas Little, based on alleg;a- tlons o^f the theft of a pickax and shovel valued at $1.50 from Dr. O. F. Barnes, of 1431 North N'ewstead avenue, lies the more im- posing charge of substituting poison ivy for smilas and miserable little tea roses for Amer- ican Beauties in laying out front -yard flowers gardens. Little is a floriculturist and landscape gar- dener. Dr. Barnes charges that he gave Little a commission to arrange his flower garden and ornament it with beautiful vines and fragrant flowers, but that Little instead of planting smilax and American Beauties, planted poison ivy and tea roses. Then, he says. Little went away with the pickax and shovel. It is charged that Little represented him- self as the agent of a florist at Union and Spalding avenues. He is under arrest on a warrant charging hira with petit larceny. EVERY BINCH of roses or flowers that goes out of your shop tied with the RIGHT RIBBONS is an advertisement of quality. Your roses and flowers will look better, therefore their value is enchanced. Better value means better prices to you. This however at a less cost, for the RIGHT RIBBONS are betUr quality than the usual sort — dyed better, woven better, and cost more to make. But — when you buy direct from a mill "you save all be- tween profits." ®J}0 fixxt Q^vtt Mk MxUb (Eomyang These noted qualities are used by Florists: MONARCH— Satin Taffeta— ClilMAX.

Christmas trade Tras active and sales equal to, and with quite a few in ex- cess of, last year. Transient trade was very light and consequently cash sales were not as good as last Christmas. The demand was for the better quality of flowers and plants; prices seemed to be no object if the quality was there. Very unfavorable weather conditions Decem- ber 24 cheeked business to some extent with all. The Pittsburg and Allegheny market florists, who have their shops out in the open suffered considerably. The warm, balmy days of December 23, 24 and the morning of the 25th permitted the florists to make their deliveries with- out extra packing; the blizzard held off until Christmas night. Stock was plentiful enough for Christ- mas; in fact roses were in big supply and quantities of the poorer qualities and unhealthy stock remained unsold on the hands of the wholesalers. Receipts on roses on Monday and Tuesday were larger than expected and again on Wednesday and Thursday they arrived in large quan- tities. Carnations and Beauties were in large supply and the demand was brisk. Paper White narcissi and Eoman hya- cinths and red tulips sold slowly. The demand for violets and valley was heavy. Mignonette, sweet peas and white lilac sold only fairly well. Prices were lower than last year "on tea roses and Beauties, while carnations sold at a better figure. The quality of much of the shipped stock was soft and salting was again notice- able on roses. Few of our local growers practice the hoarding up of stock until it is unfit for sale. There was little business on Christmas morning and the Saturday following, the advent of a heavy snowstorm and cold wave which struck us Christmas night cheeking the demand for stock. Various Notes. The call for decorative greens was very good and everyone sold out fairly well. Holly of fine quality was plentiful and cheap. In large lots one could buy it at $2.50 per case. A. M. Murdoch had an elaborate deco- ration at the Pittsburg Club on Christmas eve. John Bader reports business very good and the demand for pot plants for Christ- mas is on the increase every year. P. Maier brougbt in a fine lot of Pros- erpine tulips for Christmas. Fred Burki 's place, The Pittsburg Eose and Carnation Co., was in full crop and their cut of Maids, Brides and carnations was immense. Undoubtedly the finest Maids and Brides in the market came from this place, Lloyd Swarthout, of Washington, Pa., had a house of elegant poinsettias which came in just right for Christmas. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. received some fine Enchantress carnations from B. L. Elliott's Cheswick greenhouses. Wm. Kroeck, our old friend BOly, re- ports good Christmas business. Sidney Gibbs is shipping some very fine stevia to the Cut Flower Co. Do not forget the next meeting of the Florists' Club Tuesday evening, January 5. It will be "rose night." G. A. MeWilliams, of Natrona, left last Monday on a pleasure trip. Florida is his destination. This year closed with better prospects than expected, and the trade outlook for the New Year is cheerful. Hoo-Hoo. DAYTON, O. The trade in Dayton was all that could be asked or expected. All the florists had a fair supply of flowers. One florist handled seventy-five cases of hollv in a retail way and made and sold over 4,000 wreaths. The Jliami Floral Co. had a fine cut of roses and carna- tions of a good quality, they having the only wholesale place in the city, and the Dayton florists were very glad to be able to obtain such good stock delivered promptly, therefore not much shipped stock in our city this season.

Tliey are generally ripe about Thanks- giving and then the marketing begins. The stems are broken off about a foot in length and packed tightly in boxes, care being taken that the berries do not rub against the boards. Our finest qual- ity comes from the interior mountain valleys, where they are not subjected to too much fog, those on the coast being smaller in size and inferior in color. The ruling price is $40 per ton, wholesale, and some florists in Jsan Francisco use as much as ten tons during the holiday season. This year has been an excep- tionally good one for berries, as we have not had over two or three nights' frost thus far and the berries are at their best. The street venders, of whom there are hundreds here, tic the berries in small bunches and sell them at the uniform price of 10 cents. The berries are found growing wild in California from San Diego on the south to Mendocino on the north and are not of natural growth, either in the northern part of Calilornia or in Ore- gon or Washington. The tree makes a handsome shrub in cultivation but is of somewhat slow growth. It has much of the characteristics of the strawberry f-hrub (^AvbutU!-' uncdo} and is our most valuable wild flower. The wild pigeons are very fond of the berries and when they are perfectly ripe they eat them greedily so that by the end of January tliey have generally all disappeared. The berries have a rather pleasant taste, somewhat acid and astringent and are eaten by the Indians with great relish. The Spanish Californians used them in the preparation of a very agreeable drink. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. All our San Francisco florists have had an extremely busy Christmas. Up to Wednesday evening the prospects were iKine too bright, but Thursday eclipsed all expectations and we are all satisfied. I liave spoken with a score of our prin- cipal retailers within the last twenty-four hours. Our weather is beautiful, bright, warm days for the past week, and winds somewhat to the north, but plenty of dust living. Our nights have been somewhat cold, but not enough to interfere with outside crysanthemums thus far. Trade seemed to be divided among all classes lit stock about evenly, although 1 do not tliink palms sold as well as in former years. Some good azaleas, poinsettias and Lilium Harrisii were exliibited by our larger dealers, but the showing of all kinds of pot stuff was hardly up to the mark ancl the public generally con- fined its purchases to cut flowers. Owing to our extremely warm weather for the past two weeks the supply of greenhouse stock, with the exception of roses, has been more than equal to the demand, and the prices have suffered in consequence, but within the past forty- eight hours, owing to the almost unpre- cedented demand, the wdiolesalers raised their prices about 200 per cent. Violets are still very scarce and they are being sold wholesale toda.y at .$2 per dozen bunches, and only a fair supply at that price. American Beauty roses sold at from $3 to $5 per dozen ; Brides and Maids at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen; Testont, Kaiserin and Libertv at from DKCE.MBKn 31. l'.)03.

This tou will notice is considerably more than the quotations I have been sending recently, but it merely shows how a spurt in busi- ness will raise prices. With carnations the same rule has applied, although there was not so much difficulty in getting sup- plies. Any sort brought 3.5 cents per dozen, no matter how small the flower or how weak the stem, and such sorts as Lawson, Crocker, Estelle and Triumph sold anywhere from 50 cents to 75 cents per dozen. A few fancy sorts, including Prosperity, Cressbrook and some of Siever 's varieties sold at from 75 cents to $1 per dozen. As the weather is par- ticularly favorable, however, 1 look for these prices to lower somewhat in the near future. Poinsettias were in good demand and could be handled by the retailers at a handsome protit. Jlany we received from Los Angeles and delivered iu good order and cost the stores not over $1.75 per dozen. They could easily be retailed at from 25 to 50 cents each, and were a money-making proposition. They are grown outside in southern California and, as we are only a few hours distant, it was no trouble getting them in good or- der. Those sold in pots were home- grown, and wholesaled at from $6 to $9 per dozen. The retailers asked from $1 to $2 each in the stores and there were not nearly enough to go around at those prices.

Mention Review when yon write. eastern holly was handled by many of the dealers. The trouble with eastern holh' is that it costs in expressage to San Francisco $8 per case, and the original cost of $4.50 being added, makes it foot up $12,511, which is a big price to pay for that article. Many of our largest florists closed their doors early Christmas to get a chance to catch up with orders and I think I am safe in saying that the Christmas of 1903 was the best day for business that either the growers or retailers have ever had.

Christinas trade was good and lots of plants in bloom were sold. Some very fine Gloire de Lorraine were to be seen and sold well. Prices ruled about the same as last year, no increase whatever. Lots of holly was sold, but very cheap. The florists here have a lot to "contend with. The peddlers will make holly up in wreaths and sell them at 15 cents, or two for i^o cents. The weather the day before Christmas was all that could be desired, but ou Christmas night a very dangerous storm swept over our city. The wind blew at the rate of sixty-five miles an hour, but no damage was done to any of tlie greenhouses. Various Items. .Tai-ob Schulz made a very liaudsome •display at his store on Fourth avenue for Christmas, and reports a very satis- factory Christmas trade. F. Walker & ■Co.. across the street, had all they could attend to. Xauz & Xeuner's window was ablaze with Christmas bells and some very fine Begiinia Gloire de Lorraine. ilrs. C. B. Thompson made a fine dis- play of ferns, palms and blooming plants for her trade. Jos. Coenen & Co. are smiling all over, and they ought to be, as they sold all their big ferns for Christmas." J. E. ilarret and E. G. Eeimers each did a fine business for Christmas. Louis Kirch, of JNIilton avenue, has two houses devoted to carnations and one house is planted in Norway and Queen Louise which are hard to beat around here. The plants are healthy and in fine growing condition. The other house is planted with Crane and is also very fine. Louis was married a while ago and he tias built a verv handsome residence. C. H. Kuuzman, of the West End, has put in a new Burnliam boiler. Henry Fuchs is building a new resi- dence at his place. Adam Heitz has bought a piece of ground near his place for $1,250. H. LlCHTEFELD.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO Caxton Building CHICAGO* 298 The Weekly Florists' Review. DncKMBER 31. mo.'!. DALLAS, TEX. The Market. Anothoi- Christmas rush has passetl and the ilorists have a smile on their faces that denotes satisfaction, as far as busi- ness goes, but a tired set were they when they closed the doors of their stores at nnon and hung out the card "sold out" to greet the belated buyer. All flowers brought good prices. Bulbous stock was none too plentiful, and Romans and r-- eissi sold readily at $1 per doz. Holly was in good supply and poor, but wa.s readily sold. Mistletoe was on all cor- ners and could be bought at any price you wanted to pay. I never saw it finer "than this season. Christmas trees were on sale at all corners and while it looked as if the supply was ahead of the de- mand, there was a clean market before right. Flowering plants were scarce and what few were to be had were soon disposed of. The supply of palms and ferns was good and they found a good sale, for those wanting flowering plants had to fall back on these and the supply was well disposed of. Notes. E. H. S. Green, the railroad magnate, of Terrell, is putting up a large range of houses for growing cut flowers for the southern trade. He will erect some twen- ty large houses, all of modern construc- tion. He will also have a government experiment station.^ He has several hun- dred acres of rich,' loamy ground and an abundance of good water. Mr. Green has the capital and push to make this the best plant in the southwest, and there is surely an opening here for several more good wholesale establishments of this class. y. W. Beach, late manager of the Haskell Avenue Floral Co., has resigned his position, and will take a few days of rest before locating anew. B. ADDRESS WANTED. I would like to inquire through the columns of this paper for the gentieman who last season had a light pink Lawson carnation.

There has been a good supply of everything ex- "cept red roses. The Christmas trade was very good. Blooming plants sold best, next berried plants, such as ardisias. oranges, etc. There was a good demand for holly and greens, also red bells. The cut flower demand was up to the usual standard. The weather was perfect for delivering. Good Brides and IMaids brought S8 to $15 at wholesale, $.3 a dozen retail. Good colored carnations brought $4 to $5 per 100 wholesale ant .$1 ]?er dozen retail. Fancy carnations were ■$! per dozen wholesale and $2 re- tail. Violets were a glut at the last mo- ment. Jlost of the stock arrived in good shape, as the crop was off with a good manv "-rowers. Some carnations showed the cfl'eets of being salted. The violet growers had been holding ofT since Thanksaiving and came to the front at the last" nuiinent with, "How many do vou want, $1.50 per 100?" Some had the ncv\r to ask more. Notes. Thomas Curley had a fine lot of poin- settias to cut. . F. Macrea & Sons had a merry Christ- mas with chrvsanthemums. J. Wood made a great showing of red bells and immortelle designs. T. Keller's father is visiting him, after a number of years' absence. He helped Tom out in the rush. T. J. Johnston had a great showing of fruited and blooming plants, with pol- ished oak tubs with brass fittings to set them off. O'Connor did a land office business, working day and night. T. r.. Peterson reports good trade. John Macrea's Lorraine begonias were little beauties. J. A. Budlong & Sons ' big cut of roses and carnations all went to the Boston market. ^ ^- I- Enclosed find the final payment on my Florists ' Manual, by Wm.

Another (.'hristnias has goue into his- tory and it goes on record j4s a satis- factory one in general for the florists' ■trade, r The Christmas price lists were sent out earlier than usual and buyers were more prepared in booking orders, and there was less complaint on the ad- vanced charges. Shipping trade was fine, but the demand was principally for coT- ored carnations and red roses. Good Crane, Lawson, Lord and Marquis went at $8 per hundred and other varieties according to grade. Eoses sold well; even white was cleaned up. They ranged from $8 to $lo per hundred for shipping stock, according to quality. There were plenty of smaller flowers, such as Romans, val- ley. Paper Whites, and stevia, to go around without any advance in price. Violets sold well at $2 per hundred. The quality of stock in general was above the average, and no pickled stock was on the market. The plant sales were fully fifty per cent ahead of last year, principally due to the excellent weather and the fine supply on hand. C. C. Pollworth Co. had a choice lot of azaleas and poinset- tias which sold all right. There were also a lot of c.yclamens, primroses and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine in the mar- ket. Notes. Currie Bros.. M. A. McKenny & Co., Kapsalis & Lambros and J. Fo.\, the East Side llorist, all had fine window displays which brought in many doubtful buyers. Wm. Edlefsen and Mrs. Baumgarten, on the West Side, displayed a fine lot of blooming plants in great variety. The demand for holly was larger than ever and more fancy stock could have been sold had it been available the last dar. Incoc. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

The retailers were well supplied with first-elass stock, and all report the best Christmas they ever had. Beauties were enough for all orders and good ones, too. Bi'ido.s and JIaids were equal to the demand, although some were very soft and lacked that crispness which is a large part of the value. Carnations were in great demand and better ones were never seen. Prices were the best ever ralized in this city. Violets were hardly callou for. Poinsettias were in greater demand than in any previous year, and the trade was well stocked with them, but Christ- mas daj- saw the last. Begonias sold well in all sizes. Azaleas were better than previous years, and sold well at 200 per cent iirofit. Cyclamens were not so large as usual, and quite a few were left over. Primulas sold well and a great many were seen in pans. J. N. Champion Co. made a specialty of large fancy baskets trimmed with rib- bons and tilled with Lorraine begonias, ferns, poinsettias and Pandanus Veiti'hii for the center. These baskets sold read- ily at from $10 to $15 each. Roping and wreaths were in excess of the demand, and plenty of each were left over. Christmas bells sold well and the new folding bell was a great seller. The chimes sold as a novelty and took the eye of the public at large; still the old im- mortelle bell holds its own. S. H. W.

This re- quires two materials, lining for the frame, and moss for the filling. The best lining now in use is common fern leaves. Lay a thick mat of wood ferns all over the inside of the frame, not forgetting the sides and corners. A part of this lining is shown in the first illustration. The process of design construction is shown here, each stage occupying a sec- tion of the design frame. Tin foil is no longer the best appearing nor the most economical lining. If used as lin- ing for good work it must have a green covering on the back, while the ferns serve both purposes at once. After laying in the lining, fill the en- tire inside of the frame with sphagnum moss which has been soaked in water from twenty to thirty minutes, and wrung out tightly enough to prevent dripping. This moss is sold in bales by all florists' supply houses. Fill the sphagnum in snugly, especially in the corners and edges, level with the top edge of the frame. To secure moss from falling out in case the design is fumed upside down, as often happens in shipjjing, lace hemp twine across the top of the frame, tying with a hard knot (o the wire. The twine wrapping shows over the empty part of the frame and the panel of fern lining in the illus- tration! Having caught in all the loose ends of the snhagnum and tucked them out of sight inside of the frame, we are ready for the construction of the de- sign florally. Stemming the Flowers. There arc many stylos of arrange- ment for a pillow, but all things con- sidered, it is thought best at this time to use the solid carnation background as a model here. A beginner should have learned to stem before attemjrting the construction of a design. If not, here is the process of stemming carna- tions for background work: Have at hand as tools a strong jiair of shears that will cut heavy stems, wire and soft wood; two or three grades of fine wire, soft wood toothpicks, and some invisible hairpins. In the wire have at least Nos. 24 and 36. Some florists use tweezers, but they are scarcely needed for ordinary work. Fingers are as good and cheaper. Shorten the ear- nation stems to within half an inch of the calyx and cut off one-fourth of the length of the toothpicks. A handful can be cut at once with the heavy shears. Insert a three-quarter pick in each carnation from the top down through the heart of the flower and through the calyx, till it emerges paral- lel with the stub of the stem, the point being at least half an inch below the end of the stem. The blunt end will be out of sight in the heart of the flower. Put all the carnations to be used for background work through this process at once. The carnation, by the way, is the only flower to be stemmed in this way, with the pick inside the flower. Next cut some No. 36 wire into six- inch lengths, and carry a bunch between the thumb and first finger of the left hand. With the right hand wrap the carnation flower tightly to the pick, using a single strand of wire from the bunch. Let the wire wrapping extend from about half way up the calyx near- ly to the end of the pick. Be careful to catch in the lower end of the carna- tion stem exactly at the point, so that it cannot stop the newly stemmed flow- er from being pressed quickly into the sphagnum. Learn well the mechanical parts of the work. Aim at accuracy and neatness first. Speed will develop with practice. Construction. Having stemmed all the carnations needed, allowing one small carnation to each square inch of space, or one large carnation to each two inches, fill is the habit of many florists to edge all designs with smilax. But the solid car- nation finish is a change, and therefore commendable. If smilax is used, cut a string equal in length to the distance around the pillow frame. Where the smilax follows the corners, tie it on with a fine wire, and trim off the ends so that the fastening cannot show. We now have a strictly outlined design with a smooth white background. This fin- ishes the mechanical part, except the stemming of the flowers and green to be used in trimming, and the lettering. Lettering. The lettering can be made in flowers on a large enough piece. Violets are the best flowers, but carnations will do for a short name. In all cases where let- tering is used there must be a sharp contrast between the color of the let- ters and the color of the background. Of the manufactured materials for let- tering, chenille is commonlj' used. The most serviceable colors are purple, white, blue and red, in silk and wool. Silk is softer looking on the flowers, but will not stand moisture. Tlie wool is coarser, but more durable. It is all wired, and can be bent in any shaped letter, and cut with the shears. Press the letters down flat against the back- ground, and pin them through the car- nations firmlj' with invisible hairpins or tiny staples made from No. 2-1: wire. Immortelles, if used for lettering, should be stemmed and inserted individually. Then there are many made-up letters and words with pins, to be had. Lettering is usually set on in panels straight across the pillow. If the name A Floral Pillow, Showing Three Stages of the Work. in the background by inserting the stemmed carnations straight into the moss, and close enough together to hide the sphagnum. The lower right hand corner of the pillow in the first illus- tration shows this process. Cover the corners carefully, and extend the car- nation background ov- iect mav seem a waste of space, but to the ma'ioritv of the American trained whose 'knowledge consists of what he mav have been able to pick up by acci- dent or absorb from his environment an article on this subjeet given from a prai-- tical standpoint has quite a .liflerent value. Grafting operations usually begin in .Tanuarv and are continued by smue grow- ers even as late as Jlay, but the most successful batches are produced from the middle of January to the middle ot March, as during that period we have more control of conditions as regards tem- iierature, moisture and shading than wi- rau have when the season is further ad- v.'inied. The Grafting Frame. Tlie first essential towards successful crafting is to have a good frame or pit in which to place, and care for the liewlv grafted stock. This can easily be .-onverted out of an ordinary bench by boarding up the back and front, so as to conserve the heat, much in the same wav as we make a propagating bed out ot aii'ordinarv bench when pressed for room, but to get" full benefit it must be as air tight as possible. There should be suflicient luping to m- mire at all times a bottom temperature of 7') or 80 degrees. The boards of the bottom should, if -possible, be at least fifteen or eighteen inches above the pip- ing and have a covering of loose ashes at least one inch deep, on which to place the plants. The glazed sash sh(nild be high enongh to give the iilants ample headroom. The Style of Graft Munv are the styles of grafting rec- ommended, but as expediency and speed are the principal objects to be attained, nearly everv propagator has his own, usuallv being the one at which he is most expert.

The manujil part of this operation, while being quite simple, is rather iliffi- I'ult to deserilie, a very sliort object les- son being of more importance than eol- uinns of descriptive matter. Tlie funda- mental principle pertaining to all styles of grafting is the necessity of having a direct communication between the layers of inner bark in all the parts to be unit- ed, as without tliis a perfect union can- not be effected. The woody parts of the stock and scion never unite but are usual- ly so covered uji liy the outer growth that unless the parts are dissected it is never discovered. If this ])rinciple is at- tended to the style of grafting may be varied at pleasure with the same assur- ance of suece.ss. A well sharpened knife is one of the iirst re()uisites, as a clean cut will unite much sooner than one made with a dull knife. The scion should lie tied firmly but not tightly in its place, with some soft tying material th-.it will not cut into the bark. The Manetti stocks should he brought in and placed in the bench some time previous to grafting, so that root action may be started, thus giving a supply of sap for the immediate support of the scion, hut not left long enough to cause the eye« to break. The scion should be of the same quality of wood as that used for cuttings and should be selected with the same critical care. Aif and Temperature. Immediately after the scion is attached they .should be replaced in the frame, syringed and the sash closed tightly. The case should b<' kept closed for the first ten days, opening it only for a few minutes morning and night to dry off the superfluous moisture and to change the air. As soou as union has taken place they should get a little ventilation, which should be gradually increased, a careful watch being kept to prevent wilting. In about three weeks from the time of graft- ing, if all conditions have been right, they can be removed to the ojien bench, where a temperature of 60 degrees is maintained, and given a light shade on very bright days for a week or so, until they are hardened off, gradually reducing the temperature till it drops to 56 de- grees. In syringing they require more care than stock on its own roots, as the scions are liable to get detached if too much force is applied; otherwise they can re- ceive the identical treatment as own-root stock. From time to time they should be looked over and any suckers from the stock removed, as they, if allowed to re- main and develop leaves, being nearer the source of supply, soon deprive the scion of nourishment. The Manetti, possessing vigorous root action, will require careful attention as regards potting so that they may not be- I'ome pot bound, which causes the stock to ripen ])rematurely and acts as a check upon the sap supply, upon which the life of the scion depends. Ribe.s. LONDON FLOWER MARKET. The flower market for Christmas is thus reported bv the Gardeners' Chroni- cle: For cut flowers, though supplies were plentiful, there was a general advance in prices. Lilium longiflorum and ar- ums or callas were fetching from .5s. to lis. per dozen. Good chrysanthemum flowers arc also dearer. Carnaticuis are much in demand. Good roses sell well, but the large quantities now imported from France affect the sale of smaller blooms. The variety Safl'rano from France has hten very good and abun- dant. Some of these flowers have been selling in the streets, three good blooms on long stems for a penny. Violets have been equally plentiful and cheap. Kuch- aris has been plentiful ; the flowers seem to have come in rather too early. The jirices of lily of the valley do not lluctuate greatly. Camtllias, gardenias and tuberoses are plentiful. EASTER LILIES. Will someoHi' ]p|case inform rae when Harrisii lilies that are now fine, strong plants, but kept in 50 degrees night tem- perature, should be moved to 60 degrees to bring them in for Easter? K. If K had told us how high or how for- ward these "fine, strong plants" »-ere at the present time we might speak more definitely about temperature. They may be fine and strong and only six inches above the pot, or they may be eighteen inches high. If the former, then they ma.v lie kept at .55 degrees at night till early February and then moved into 60 degrees, but if by early February you can ,jn.st discern the buds forming in the crown of leaves you will not want to give them any more heat. As very recentlv said in these columns, you can't bring all those Harrisii lilies in at Easter without I'on.siderable moving. Some individual plants will want a higher temperature than others. By the middle of February you will be able to tell which plants will need more heat than others. If you can see the buds plainly, so that you can count them six weeks before Easter, you will be safe without any great forcing. W. S. LONGIFLORUM LILIES. I liavo sonic longiflorum lilies in cold storage that I want to flower during June. When should they be potted and 314 The Weekly Florists* Review. January 7, 1004. at what teniperature should they be kept after growth commences? ' L. N. If bench room was of no j^reat im- portance to Tou, then it would be best to pot these iilies at once and liccp them in a very cool house, say 40 degrees at night, or even beneath a bench where there is not too much drip would do very well for a month. It is better for the bulb to bo in the soil and slowly mak- ing roots, than it is to be in cold stor- age. Although for July, August and September flowering we have had very satisfactory results from bulbs kept in cold storage till May or June. June flow- ering is not late and if started at once and brought along very cool they would ■ not be in flower before June. If space is of great importance to you, then you can defer starting them till the middle of March, but then you will have to give them a brisk heat both day and night during April and May. This may be some guide: A few years ago we received 2,000 Japan bulbs too lato for Easter, or we then thought so. We left them in cold frames in 5-inch pots till after New Year's, then kept them in a cool house, 40 degrees to 4S degrees at night. With the natural in- crease of heat and sun as the season ad- vanced they came in just precisely right for Memorial day the last of May. W. S. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Starting the Easter Roses. Last week 1 spoke of Easier roses soon . needing attention. The most important of these arc the Crimson Eambler and li.vluid perpetuals. It is of no use now hi mention the varieties of the hybrids liest suited for forcing, as you have them already. To begin with the Ramblers. Perhaps (Jie largest growers of these lift them fi-om the field about the middle of No- vember and keep them in a coo!, shaded house or shed, with frequent syringing, so that the canes do no shrivel nor are the eyes injured. They slowly get hold (if the soil and will now bear a little more heat and the fullest light. Perhaps .-ibout 4.5 degrees at night would be a good temperature till the leaf buds are ready to break, then 50 degrees at night for some weeks, finishing off with 55 degrees at night. I am certain that if you can develop their beautiful trusses of bloom in 5.5 degrees you will have a much deeper, finer color to the flower than if done in 65 degrees. Spraying the foliage on every briglit day till the flow- ers are out should be done. It helps' tlicm to break into growth, keeps down red spider and produces an atmosphere congenial to a healthy growth. Ramblers Grown in Pots. Plants that were grown in pots last summer and have made three or four good canes and have been resting in a cold frame since the first of November will make the most satisfactory plants and will do it with little trouble and no risk of their coming blind. They will force in less time than the lifted plants if you choose, because they have active roots undisturbed. Still they are better given plenty of time and the middle of the month is late enough. Start them slowly and increase the heat as they need it. These plants, grown all summer in pots, will have about used up the soil, so take off an inch of the surface and replace with two inches of not over-de- cayed cow manure. I think every one prefers a ttembler rose that is not over-tall, but one that is clothed with foliage and some flowers from bottom to top. Three or four stakes three feet long and pushed into the soil of a 7 or 8-incb pot will enable you to tie the canes spirally aroundthese stakes and make a far more attractive plant than one having only flowers three feet from the pot. Mildew on Ramblers. Mildew often attacks tlic I\amblcrs. It was quite bad outdoors last summer, on pl.ants that were growing vigorously in the open ground. That could be ac- counted for by a few scorching days in .Tuly. then a night of cold rain and tn« temperature down to 43 degrees on July 20. How is that for a subtropical cli- mate? Under glass it can be avoided. But there are several causes for mil- dew, any one of which will account for it. Letting the plants get dry at tlie root, dry to the wilting condition, will bring on mildew, but the most fruitful cause is a serious fluctuation of temperature. A week of bright sun in March, the temperature of the house SO degrees and during the night 60 degrees, and then through carelessness or bad luck (?) a drop to 45 degrees some night, and you have mildew. A^entilators left open an hour too long and a chill settles on the plants which w^ill "fix" them. The cooler or rather more moderate the temperature the less fear of mildew. Dorothy Perkins. I hope you have some Dorothy Perkins to force along with your Crimson Ram- blers. It wants just about the same time and treatment and the few we had last year were quickly picked up. It 's a beautiful pink. The truss of bloom may not be quite so large, but the single flower is as large as Crimson Eambler. The habit of the plant is fine and the small, dense, bright green foliage makes it most attractive. Hybrid Perpetuals. Few hybrid pci-potual roses are grown in pots the previous summer for Easter blooming, for there is no need of it, they do so well lifted in the fall. It's quite a different case from the Ramblers. On them you retain all the wood ; on the hybrid perpetuals you cut off at least two-thirds of the previous summer's growth and they have comparatively only a few eyes to support and roots are made as fast as the top growth progresses. I said last November to pot these rose* and, after a good soaking, to lay them on their sides and cover with four or five inches of earth and later a few inches of straw or litter to keep severe freezing out. I trust you will have little difficulty in getting them out and you will find the wood and the eyes plump, more so than if you had stood them up in a cold frame. The middle of the month is time to start them and, as far as temperature, spraying, etc., the treat- ment needed is just the same as with the Ramblers lifted from the ground. There are no active roots and, therefore, they must start slowly. Cutting Back Important. The cutting down is a very important point. If cut too high you will have only the top eyes to break, with six or seven inches of bare stem. If cut too low the eyes at the base of the growths may come blind and then, as a pot plant, your labor is in vain. It's difficult to teach without having a plant before you. T would say leave three or four good, plump eyes on each growth, cutting out the weak growths entirely. If these rosi/ ]ilants were budded high it is almost im- possible to get root and stem into a 6-ineh'pot and make a presentable plaut. That is why all roses planted for this jmrpose iu the spring should be low Ijudded, so that whe'n severely cut down at planting time the young growths start almost at the surface of the gr(iuu llrst president of uur urgan- liatlou li"S Iwen called from us by death. lea\ ing a void which to us. seems one that eannol be filled, and , ^ ■ . i ,,..,i WHKltB.\S, We. who have been ass... l.iteu with him iu this organization, feel tliat u l>. but i.ri.iier that w.- place on record ...ir estlmnli of his eharncter and worth, and the slneere sorrow which each feels at pnrtius with suj-h a dear friend, able associate, and worthj- <-o- laliorer. therefore t)e It ., ., , ,, RESOLVED, That the members of the boaul of directors of the New Yorlc Cut Fb.wer to. do hereb.v extend to the tamil.v their suict-re svmpathv at this bereavement, assuring them tiiat bv "his death not only are we made mutiT- ally mmirners for one beloved ami respe.'ted.

Stewart, secretary of th,^ Society of American Flor.als read at the meeting' of the Clncago Florists Clut) January 0,] Gentlemen: In complying with your request for a few notes relative to the holiday trade of New York and Boston, I am Jileased to be able to start with the premise that, notwithstanding the wide- spread financial depression and consequent leaning to economy in matters of luxury, the expenditures for the products of flori- culture in this section during the recent holidav season are believed by competent judges to have fully equaled any past rec- ord. Among the most significant features ot the trade I would mention the evidences of steady advancement in the popularity of growing plants as holiday gifts and the higher and more uniform quality dis- played iu the stock offered. To what ex- tent the cut flower industry is, by its mis- takes, directly responsible for a move- ment which means dispossession from its most cherished holdings is not readily demonstrated, but there has been no lack of warning from year to year and it must now be evident to all that the absolute loss of confidence on the part of buyers in the integrity of the cut stock sold to them must have contributed not a little to the )iresent conditions. However, we cannot look upon this drift of ]io]iular favor in the direction of living and gro\y- ing objects, as other than natural and it is gratifying to note in the cultural im- proveiiient seen in the holiday plants a hopeful augury, for it tells us that the long-wished-for incentive to expert com- meivial plant-growing in this country is now to be given and thereby glorious pos- sibilities are opened up for the future of our art in its higher phases. The head-strong tenacitv of cut flower growers in adhering to discredited long- standing practices in the storing-up and valuing of their prodiu^t and the utter col- lapse of the flower market, in conse- anence. was another feature of the holi- dav experience in New York city. "For- ture makes him fool whom she makes her darling," and it needs no super- natural vision to see that the pickle-pot JANIAIIV The Weekly Florists' Review, 317 has been no small factor in the once im- perious holiday eiit flower 's iiudoiny. Fortunately for Boston, she fared rather Ijetter than did New York because, ow- ing to a number of reasons, she still enjoys a good suburban and country trade in cut flowers and the outgoing shipments for the holidays and at other times tend to materialh' relieve and steady the market. Whether these local advantages are a permanent asset re- mains for the future to show. The changes constantly going on progress so stealthih- that it is impos- sible for us to distinguish where one condition ends or another begins, each period quietly disappearing into its suc- cessor; but in shaping one's course for the future, if we are to achieve continued success, it is imperative that we clearly recognize that the conduct of any branch of the florists ' business today is a wiilely dilt'erent jiroposition from what it was a few years since. T^nfortunately, thus far the habit of imitation would seem to be a more con- spicuous characteristic of the American floriculturist than the attribute of origi- nality. Instances demonstrating the truth of this ])resumption will, no doulit, come readily to the mind of everyone. The bringing to light, by an enterpris- ing fellow florist, of any new or profit- able line is the signal for a headlong lush from all sides to do the same thing. Production in certain fields has thus out- stripped by far the demand therefor and it is plain that until strennousness is curtailed or else diverted to other lines or some means of increasing the capacity of the market is put into operation, the troubles comjdained of in New York, and to some extent elsewhere also, are bonnd to intrude themselves with increas- ine frequency. So long, however, as the old operators hold out and continue to aild to their productive capacity and new-comers still find room, under estab- lished methods of distribution, how can we a.ssume otherwise than that, despite all the protesting we hear, values have not yet fallen below the ]ioint of profit. We know this — that when that limit of de|iression has been touched, then the penalty of imprudent over-doing must be paid and history will rejjeat itself in the survival of the fittest.

It could be made a popular decorative article in a com- mercial way. It admits of long lian- dling with little injury and can l)o c\it in the desert districts in tlio southwest extensively, and can be freighted easily. It is quite generally grown in nurseries and old plants can be cut down and yet enough foliage left on the crown to not kill out the pUnt if cut in fall. We have cut it and set it in water in the cellars and it has kept for six weeks. Then we have taken it and kept it in a cellar storage without water and the leaves yellow on the edge, retaining a green center and still are fine in effect. We cut the plant so as to remove most of the top and then place a rubber band over the leaves near outer end, so the leaves will not drop or split off. In us- ing them it is well to drive three or four spikes through a piece of board a foot square, and set the plant between the sjiikes, the rubber band down and bring out the leaves' as you would wish, throw- ing any green thing around the base. A bank of them is quite effective and a complete change is at times refreshing to decorators. Their great keeping quali- ties, cheapness and ease with which it is possible to secure them, should make the trade investigate and test this as an additional decorative green. W. M. Bomberger. BENEFITS OF COLLEGE COURSE. ruder the title, "The Benefits -i Young Florist or Gardener May Derive from the Agricultural Course at State College, ' ' Alfred Burton addressed the Florists' Club, of Philadelphia, on Jan- uary .1, 1904. While his remarks re- lated to the value of the course at the Pennsylvania institution, they are ]irinted for the reason that nearly every state has a school providing a similar course of instruction.

I would like to know how to get rid of the little white fly in the houses of mixed ;' t plants. We have used tobacco smoke and strong spraying but cannot get riJ of them. They deposit their eggs on the nndersTde of the leaves of ^egomas and other plants and nothing seems to disturb them. Last summer was the first i saw of this pest, on tomatoes, and m the fall they moved into the greenhouse. In addition to the above, I have jast received another complaint fjom a Mr Robert J., enclosing a leaf 0*7^^*^^^ be a greenhouse hibiscus. Whatever it may be H's a dreadful sight.

Keep the atmos- phere moist and shade lightly until the young roots appear on the outside of the ball, when thev can be gradually in- ured to the light and air. During sum- mer they can be jilunged outside in an open frame, but the jiots must be pro- tected from the sun. This is best ac- complished by plunging them in either moss or exhausted hops. They should be housed before there is any danger of frost, and should be pro- tected from the cold fall rains, as this causes a discoloration of the foliage, and is very detrimental to the health of the plant. The best varieties for greenhouse cul- ture will be found in the following list: S. arborescens, blue: Bourgsi, purple and white; brassica-folia, purple, the liest; Halfordi. a garden hybrid, blue: profusa, a variety with purjile calyx and wliite corolla, a Halfordian hybrid. The care and attention required by these varieties does not exceed that re- <(uired by ordinary bedding stock and even if the plants do not prove a selling item the returns from the cut blooms will be amplv remunerative. They are well worth a' trial in any retail estab- lishment. T?IBF,S. tion of the florets and general bmid of the flower is somewhat similar to F. b. Vallis.

The great disaster at the Iroquoi.-; has brought sadness to every heart and for days has occupied the thoughts and con- vei-siition of the people almost to the ex- elusion of other topics. It was a stun- ning blow, the loss of the lives of 60n pleasure seekers in an instant of wild panic; the sight of wagon loads of charred bodies carted to the morgues; the long lines of tearful searchers tor their dead; the processions of funerals. The shock was so great, so swift, that the full strength of the blow, the awtul- ness, the horror of the disaster have scarce been realized. It is beyond the power of benumbed brains to grasp. The victims were women and chiUlren. Scarcely a block in the better neighbor- hoods but what has had its funeral, niauy times with two hearses, frequently with three and several times with four, for whole families were wijied out in many instances. Six hundred dead! It jiasses comprehension. A little girl was given a partv and took seven little friends. Not oiie returned. A family of twelve had a reunion and not one reached home. When the schools opened after the holi- day vacation forty teachers were countea dead. One does not meet anyone but those who have lost friends. \ week ago the retailers were well supplied with orders for decorations; twenty-four hours later they had none; practically all were canceled. On some few orders work was already unocr way. Not many were permitted to be liii- ished. When Harry Kowe went into Hec- tor's with nearly a hundred table center- pieces and stock to decorate the restau- rant for New Year's eve, he was told to deliver the flowers to the hospitals. Everywhere New Year's eve festivities were' stilled and 1904 was born without a note of the glad acclaim with which the new year is ordinarily welcomcl. Then came the rush of funer; 1 ord. is. It caught the market unawares. White stock was scarce. The first few sales Saturday morning cleaned things up and then ensued such a scramble as iias sel- dom been seen. With very little left to sell there was nothing which lOuKI be called a market price; it all depended on how batUy the buyer needed the goods and how hard the wholesaler cared to stick him. There are tales of 20-ceut roses, 10-cent white carnations and S- eent valley, but such prices were paid i„ not many cases, had little effeet_ on growers' averages and were ill advised Xt best for when the retailers, who had not foreseen the situation, realized the condition, they at once raised their own prices, to the point where people stopped buying. Bv the time the growers go. stock to town on the wholesalers calls, the market was dead and the growers areativ disappointed, for there hasn t been "anything doing since. Th.. great majority of fire victims were buried with few flowers. On Monday the market was very easy. Local trade had practically stopped. All the retailers reported cancelhiti.uis on orders for weddings, receptions, dinners aud other social afi:airs. It locks as though the market will have to dejiend on out-of-town orders for some time. The Heauty niark-?t iias cased up in com- mon with" e.erytliin;; elsi . Tea loses hold their own better than ether iiems for the reason thai cuts just on for Christmas are now u;oin,J off. Carnal ions have become very plentiful, with good crops in sight. Monday prices were weak and Tuesday the buyer was very critical of quality. Violets are still in the dumps; even when funeral stock was scarcest they could not be moved. Some magnificent bunches are still coming from the east. Bulbous stock is plenti- ful. Various Notes. The weather is still making the grow- ers' profits vanish up the chimney. Bas- sett & Washburn's coal bill for Decem- ber was a little more than *5,S00, an.( they have no more coal in the shed than they had when they began. John Sterrett surprised his friends in the market by taking unto himself a wife on New Year's eve. Andrew ifcAdams was down town Sat- urday for the first time after an illness of several weeks. The Florists' Club met at Handel hall last night to discuss the holiday trade. The Flower Growers' Company had its annual meeting last Saturday, the only business being the election of Alex. Hen- derson and Walter Tonner as directors to succeed Frank Beu and Mrs. Schaffer. Joseph Ziska, the old-time wire work manufacturer, is moving down town, to the Atlas block. O. P. Bassett, Mrs. Bassett and her motiier, Mrs. Andrews, leave January 13 to spend three months in California. W. K. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, agrees with the proposition that the eastern vio- lets will soon drive the local stock clear out of this market. _ . C. Pniner, of E. F. Winterson s. is again laid up with his bad foot. He is fearful of the consequences. Harry Rowe made six pieces yester- day for the funeral of Mr. Reed, of Rand, McNally & Co., for which the- total was $'200.

New Year's day was rather light and hardly any preparations were made for extra stock, as not mucli is expecteil on that day, although some of the West End florists report some extra orders from the way-up society folks. Funeral work has been good, as several prominent people died during the past week, which made an extra run on white flowers. Still the wholesalers seem to clean up a good bit of colored stock every day and we might say that we are not suffering the usual reaction which gen- erally follows the holidays. In cut stock at the wholesale houses roses are quite plentiful ; not a glut by any means, but enough to go around. The general quality is very good and especially Bride and Bridesmaid. Ex- tra fancy Beauties are down to $6 and $8 per dozen. In the medium grades a great many deformed blooms are seen, the best of this stock being from $3 to $-i per dozen. Shorts are more plentifid at $6 per lUO. Good tea roses are up as high as .$10 per 100. Bride and Maid are most plentiful of all. Enough Me- teors are in for the demand. Carnot, (jate and Perle are all selling well at from .$10 down to as low as $4. The price of carnations is still keeping up, $0 and $S for fancy stock and all I'ommon grades bring $4. Those with rubbers on bring only $.■). as they are only used for work. The market is well supplied with some fine carnations of all varieties. Violets are most plentiful and are down to $1 per 100 for the best. The demand is excellent and clean sales are reported on these. Romans and Paper Whites are very abundant and sell fairly well at from $2 to $4 per 100. Harrisii and callas are somewhat scarce and so are freesias. Tulips and single jonquils are not in the market yet. There is a good demand for valley. Smilax and all greens are in lively demand and some good sales are reported at the usual prices. Various Notes. A few fashionable weddings are on for this week and among the ])retty deco- rations of the past week was one by Henry Ostertag, who did an elegant job at Faust 's, w liich was greatly admired by great crowds on New Year 's eve. The Florists' Club meeting next Thurs- day afternoon will be of great import- ance to all the members and they arc- requested to attend. A fine display of new carnations will be on exhibition. Messrs. Crillis and Fillmore are lioth ready with their essays. A. C. C'anfield, of Springfield, HI., was a visitor the i)ast week, making friendly calls on the trade. A. S. Halstedt. of Belleville, was in town the past week on his way to Spring- field and reported that he will visit <'hi- cago before coming home. Carew Sanders has been sick for the past two weeks but from reports is im- proving and exjwcts to attend the next club meeting. Frank M. Ellis acted the part of the hero last Saturday, saving a lady from being run down by a street car. Only for the timely arrival of Jlr. Ellis the lady would have been crushed to death. Max Herzog, who has been reported very sick, is improving somewhat, also ilrs. Herzog. The last report from .lohn M. Hudson is that he is somewhat lietter. The members of the club extend their sympathy and hoj)e for their timely recovery. Emil Schray had his hand jioisoned by handling Primula obconica. The recom- mendation for the cure printed in the last issue, page L'HIi, will no doubt put his hands in go. R.

J. J. B. ST. PAUL. The Market. New Year's trade was hardly up to the average of recent years, although there was a good demand for all kinds of flowers and for some plants. There was a very perceptible falling off in the country trade. Cut blooms were plentifid in everything except red, the demand for this color being in excess of the supply. Prices were from twenty-five to fifty per cent lower than at Christmas. In bloom- ing plants azaleas and begonias were good sellers. It is to be regretted that we cannot have average sales like New Year 's throughout the year, rather than the spasmodic ett'orts of (liristmas and Faster, when many customers feel that they are being defrauded and buy noth- ing until the following year, when they repeat the performance. But we cannot alter condition.s, although we believe trade in general would be better through- out the year if it were not for the gen- eral increase in prices at the holidays. Various Notes. Gust. Colberg, for many years with I,. L. May & Co., has purchased an inter- est in and assumed the management of the Swanson store but recently opened at 31 East Sixth street. His friends in the trade wish him success in the venture. R. C. Seeger has recently put in a new refrigerator which adds very much to the attractiveness of the store, which is pre- sided over by his daughter. He is cut- ting some very fine roses, carnations and violets. N. C. Hansen has two nice houses, in which he is cutting some very fine car- nations. Some old time favorites are found here, producing good crops of bloom. Jubilee and Daybreak are con- sidered as profitable as any and are certainly producing some fine blooms on long, stiff stems. Other varieties grown here are White Cloud, Flora Hill, Mrs. Bradt, Mrs. Joost, Crane, Guardian .Vngel, Marquis, Triiunph and Prosperity. .Vnother season Enchantress and Lawson will be i>lanted. A carnation support of his own invention is one of the cheapest and best I have seen. The larger house, erected in 1902, is 24x100 feet in di- mensions; the smaller, erected last sum- mer, 21x72 feet. Double strength, 18x20 butted glass is employed. Mr. H. says he would use no other. Care was taken in laying the glass and there is no drip noticeable inside. The houses are erect- ed on a gentle southern slope and are ad- mirably located for growing good stock, being away from the dirt and soot of the city. My. Hansen 's reputation as a grower is second to none in the city. By hard work and careful management he has made a good start in the business and should build up a good trade. One-half mile south of the above houses is located the extensive range of that veteran grower. Christian Hansen. I say veteran grower althcnigh he started in business only fourteen yeai's ago and is still a young man. But the phenomenal success which has attended his efforts makes him a veteran, comparatively speaking. His principal crops are roses and carnations. With the latter his suc- cess this season has been very gratifying and he has been cutting a fine crop for several months. Enchantress, Guardian Angel, Queen Louise, Crane and Mrs. Lawson are the jirincipal sorts grown here. The blooms were close cut at the time of my visit but there was a perfect forest of Ijuds on all varieties, while his Christmas cut was enormous. In roses he grows Liberty, Bride, Jlaiil and Golden Gate, planting grafted stock only. A fresh lot of 5,000 Manetti stocks for new- grafting has just lieen potted up. Some two-year-old Golden (iates are throwing up enormous canes, promising big croj)s later on. In the management of this place he is ably assisted by Leopold Low and his son. Christian, .Ir. X.

The coldest ■weather of the season ar- rived on Sunday and zero temperature was reached in the city. It is the first old-fashioned winter New York has seen for many a year. The snow-fall Sun- day was over seven inches and over a quarter of a million dollars was spent in its removal. On Monday the severe cold continued and business was about paralyzed, as were the people. In the morning the cold was intense, zero being touched in several places, and shipments of cut flowers reaching their destination here frozen stiff and useless. Trains were late, especially in the afternoon, and some of the violet shipments were hours behind schedule time, making mat- ters very disagreeable and disappointing for those having out-of-town custom- ers. The market was utterly demoralized, for the weather cut down the local de- mand to about nothing, the only real scarcity being violets. The best specials again command $1.25, 100 in a bunch, and are likely to be worth this for some time to come, but they have to be per- fect to reach this figure and the great bulk of the shipments of first-class stock sells at for 75 cents to $1. The Christmas slump is still a topic for discussion. The lesson was a severe one. If its effects are permanent, then the experience was of more value than all the losses aggregate and there is no good reason why such a condition should ever exist again. Easter is only eleven weeks away and it seems as though every- body who has suffered with ordinary forethought may avoid such demoraliza- tion in the future. The plantsmen have reaped the bene- fit of the cut flower episode and if an effort is made at Easter to advance val- ues again beyond reasonable prices, there will be a repetition of the ordeal. The days of abnormal rates have passed and they can never return. Various Items. With the change of the city oflScials January 1, came the appointing of the new park commissioner, John J.

An- other park is projected on the East River near Barclay street, in the twelfth ward, in a section where it is badly needed, and the acquirement of the 4,000 acres on the south shore of Staten Island will se- cure to the city a section of desirable land for park purposes unequaled in any city in the world, a great ocean beach park with bathing facilities unex- celled.

The Duke of York pea is a coming favorite with market gardeners. Its ex- ceptional merit for market planters is only beginning to be realized. The Bountiful bean bids fair to outdo some of the other standard sorts. It is hardier, more jirolific and, for the markei gardeners' use. excels many of the others.

The season is open- ing u]i at Xeiv Orleans, and some short- ages of stocks have to be looked for. The Davis wax bean is about the scarc- est of wax sorts. The older varieties will have to take the place of it. Warduell 's, wliich is also very scarce, is the only olher variety that will satisfy those who' prefer Davis. When these two are sold out, i1 will be an even stand off with aii/ other wax variety the dealer may have. The highest printed net retail prices so far noticed for a standard variety of sweet corn are .$1.^ jier bushel ; ,$4 per peck, 55 cents per quart, for Country Gentleman. Evergreen in the same cata- logue is, bushel, $10; peck, .$2.73; quart, 40 cents. These prices are made liy a well posted house and are likelv to lie close to proper values. ST. PAUL. Eecent developments do not change the corn and cucumber situation and prices remain firm with an upward tendency. Sales of Stowell 's Evergreen and Country Gentleman are reported at $10 per bushel.

'I'lio holiday business in this city was all that was expected and in some cases more Ihan was looked for. Early in the week it became very apparent that good carnations would be very short and all the growers had more promises out than they could fulfil. Four bright ilays helped matters somewhat and most of the orders were filled satisfactorily. Eoses were in liettcr supply. There were the usual number of poinsettias and flowering plants, such as azaleas, begonias and cyclamens, and all sold well. Prices ruled somewhat higher than usual and good stock brought whatever was askeil for it. Prices since Christmas have held up well, and uri to New Y'ear's they had not fallen at all. At the present writing prices are easing up a trifle and soon the normal rates will rule. Cold 19 degrees lielow zero on Sunday morning diil not have much tendency to cause jirices to drop, however, (^oal piles are suffering and many growers who laid in their reg- ular suppl.y of fuel will have to Ijuy be- t'nrc spring unless it comes very earl.y this year.

The plant produces an abundance of fiowe's with long, stiff stems and continues flowering for a long time, in fact, some sprays were sent over to the sliow in New York in November. We could ship a few hundred stools at £12 lOs. per 100 (these are full of cuttings), or young plants at the end of April at £10 per 1000. We can supply 50.000 plants of this variety.

Those who thought our extremely early winter was but a cold snap and would let up before real winter have been sadly mistaken. As King Frost grows older he grows more searching and severe and the last few days it 's a terror. But we have seen much worse, so don 't let us complain and, after the unspeakable afflictions that have visited a great city and wrecks and ruins in other localities, we should be more than thankful that we have health and coal to warm us and many blessings that we don 't half appre- ciate till misfortune arrives. State of Trade. It would not be just the thing to men- tion who says their holiday business was better or worse than last year. Some were satisfied, a few say it was decidedly ahead of last year and still a few say candidly that they were disappointed. So, striking the average, it may be put down as about like a year ago. One of our Main street florists, S. A. Anderson, went into the advertising line in quite a departure from the usual florists' venture. A whole broadside sheet was used in our leading daily newspaper. This means a great outlay and business has to respond and I understand it did. But only one or two at a time could afford to adopt this department store scale of advertising, because the retail business in our line does not exist and all the advertising you could pay for ■would only slightly increase the normal volume of sales. We think it is entirely a different matter with a department store, which handles something that every man, woman and child in the community is looking for. However, these remarks are not intended to discourage those who want to show such enterprise and I ad- mire the pluck of the man who is the first to do it. There were certainly rather more flow- ering plants offered than were wanted. A good lesson would be to grow less and grow them better. Palms showed an in- clination to come back to their former popularity and many were sold, and so were nice ferns. Berried plants did not go at all. Azaleas, cyclamens and be- gonias were most in demand and hand- some pans of poinsettias, but single plants of these sold slowly. Various Notes. On New Year's night the Buffalo Club gave its annual ball. The decorations were very handsome, went into four fig- ures and were done bv W. J. Palmer & Son. New Year's was a bright day and the sun shown out and sleigh bells tinkled.

NEW CASTLE, IND. Mention the Review when .von write. Violets sold in large quantities. New Year 's, once the great florists ' day, has for years been little more than any other day in midwinter. Yet this year it seemed more like old times. Perhaps the old New England New Year's is com- ing back to us. As you get old you are no longer a fit person to take charge of a compli- cated decoration. Leave it to young blood. But what a difference in the people who give you the order and what 3'ou have to put up with. There are some .iobs I would like to make the bill out for in this style; it would never be collected, yet it would be a great satis- faction to let these creatures know of your sweet sentiments toward them : Miss Inlierited Dongh.

Ye scribe visited a pretty establish- ment in Mattoon, 111., last week, that of Mr. Schrader. His houses are in fine condition. In carnations he grows White Cloud, Lawson and Enchantress, and he makes a success of it, too. His house of Enchantress is just coming into bloom and such magnificent flowers they are that he easily disposes of them at $1.25 per dozen. Indeed, he disposes of all his cut and very often has to call for outside help. Besides his carnation houses he has roses, also some general stock and a pretty pahn and fern house. Mr. S. seemed delighted to find a cus- tomer who could talk with him of friends in the S. A. F. and I feel sure our new president's ears must have burned at the nice things said about him, and his beau- tiful rose, La Detroit, is expected to make her debut in Mattoon next season. On our homeward journey we stopped off in Chicago, where we hoped to see some of the familiar faces, but time be- ing limited, and it being Sunday, and a standing invitation to dinner calling us out in Rogers Park we were sorry not to be able to see anv of our florist friends. P, B. F. ilARiON, Ikd. — Gunnar Teilmann says trade was probably better than ever be-, fore at Christmas. Everything sold out clean at good prices. He had a nice lot of azaleas which went well.

Xew Year's created no special demand for stock in this market. The only no- ticeable call was for violets. Last week we experienced consideralile disagreeable and very cold weather which had a bad effect on business, the supply of stock exceeding the demaud, Roses and car- nations are steadily increasing and prices are weakening. Maids and Brides continue to improve in quality and some of the best blooms are being sold at $1^ per 100. Medium and smaller roses are very plentiful and fine flowers with poor stems were offered as low as $3 per 100. American Beauties sell slowly at $5 to ."tiG per dozen for the very best. Carnations are holding their own. En- chantress and Prosperity are the high priced Tdooms and frequeutly touch $10 per 100. Lawson, Hector and White Cloud are \ery jdentiful and are offered as low as ^^ tier 100. Scott, .Toosf. and Flora Hill arc offered at .$3. Split and inferior stock has no v;ilue and is diffi- cult to move at any price. White lilac, sweet peas, mignonette, valley. Paper White narcissi, and Romans are more than plentiful. In all bulbous stock a superabundance exists, and quan- tities of it are left unsold. Various Items. The Pittsburg Rose and Carnation Co., at Bakerstown. and .1. L. Wvland, F. H. Westhoff, A. Lorch & Co., 'and Charles Hoffman, located at DeHaven, are all ))roducing some very elegant carnations. These growers all increased their glass last summer and are growing the newer varieties. Among the few growers in this sec- tion who are fortunate enough to have their own natural gas fuel are the Pitts- burg Rose and Carnation Co., at Bakers- town, and .1. L. Wyland. The rest of us are now paying S cents to 12 cents per bushel (76 pounds) for coal. Does this not make it quite necessary that good prices should lie maintained throughout the season? Blind Brothers, at West View, are cutting a limited quantity of cattleyas. They have a nice collection of orchids and so far have been quite successful with them. The demand for orchids here is large, and your correspondent ventures to say that the grower who will invest in and grow the eonunercial sorts of orchids in quantity will find it a paying investment. The Washington Floral Co. is shipjiing in some extra fine Golden Gate roses. Theo. Beckert is now cutting a fine lot of ijink and white sweet peas. The Cut Flower Company sustained a loss of .$150 of shipping boxes in the recent fire of a big storage house in this city. Almost all the growers and retail flor- ists of this vicinity say they have ex- perienced a prosperous year. The whole- salers and commission men report good business, but poor collections. A very interesting )necting of the Flor- ists ' Club was planned for Tuesday night, .January .5. The subject was "Roses." The following parts were assigned to its memliers: "Best Re- tailing Roses and Why, ' ' by Gustav Ludwig; "Best Shipping Roses and How to Pack Them." by T. P. Langhans; "New Roses; Wliat About Them," by Fred Burki; "Pot-grown Roses, and How to Grow Them," by ,T. W. Jones; "Roses for Private Cultivation," by David Eraser ; ' ' Kicks about Roses, ' ' David Geddis. Hoo-Hoo. 334 The Weekly Florists' Review, January 7, 1904. CLASSIFIED PLANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

Generally sptaking all soft-wooded plants are hardy in central and south- ern California and many of them in the northern part of this state as w'ell as in OVegou.

G. SAN FRANOSCO. The Market. This is Xew Ve;ir's day and althougii the stores have not had a Cliristmas rush they have ke|)t comfortably busy. We haii a very dull week after Christmas but the price of flowers has not cheapened to any extent, ilost of our growtrs cut so closely last week that many of them have had little to oft'er. The weather is warm again and in a few days we will have an abundance of stock of all kiu'^..^. ("'arnations are good and the prospects are for a fair su])ply indefinitely. Fancy stock is ijuoted wholesale today at from .50 to 75 cents per dozen. This price includes Lawson, Prosperity, (.'ressbrook, Estelle and other large-flowered varieties. Crocker, .Toost and Triumph average about 3i) cents and smaller kinds 2'> cents per dozen. Roses are still in short sup- ply excejit short-stemmed Brides and Maids. Good Biauties sell at from $3 to $4 per dozen auil short-stemmed flowers at loss than half that price. Kaiserin and Pres. Carnot sell at 75 cents to $1 and Liberty at 75 cents per dozen. Plenty of Koman hyacinths, both in pots and as cut blooms, and valley is in good supply. Romans sell at three dozen for •$] ami valley at 50 to 75 cents per dozen. Single yellow daffodils are of- fered in small ijuantities and sell at 50 cents per dozen. Poinsettias at $2 per dozen and Lilium Harrisii at -$3 are in good demand. Violets have dropped somewhat in price during the past week and they can be bought for $1 per dozen bunches. Xone of them go begging, as the supjily has been unusually short this season. Chysanthemums, owing to the favorable weather, remain with us a remarkalile length of time t'nis season. Good outside yellows and whites can be bought today at .1;3 to $4 per hundred Thiy are of good color and substance and the indications are that they will be In season for sineral weeks yet. Notes.

Pkivet.s. — The golden oval-le:ived pri- vet, Ligiistrum ovalifoliura foliis-aureis, is one of the most popular and useful for all purpose.s, being bright in color and with a neat appearance, answering well when < losely pruned to form a dense growth or allowed to make a specimen. L. argt^nteum excelsum, though seldom seen, is one of the most effective, and quite distinct from any of the others. Though not a strong gi-ower, it forms a shapely bush, and tlie variegated foliage when young is pl»>!isingly suffused with pink. L. ovalifolium argenteum elegans is a somewhat new variety with pale' green foliage, edged with light gold, and worthy of a place on account of its dis- tinct variegation and habit. Primula Forbesi. — This is one of the only two monocarpie or annual species knowni, which, however, may be perpetu- ated indefinitely by divisions of the root- stock, but it is qu(>stionable if the re- sultant plants will possess anything ap proacliing the vigor of plants raised an nually from seed. When raised from seed, it is advisable to pick out the flower-scapes until the plants have at- tained their maximum size. It forms neat little plants. i)roducing very freely, in verticillastei-s. pretty pink flowers. STRO^GLY ROOTED C4RN4TI0NS - NOW Ready. OBOWH OUT OF DOOBB AHD BOOTED WITHOUT HEAT.

Violots were a little scarce, but other flowers were enough to go around. Plant trade was very good. azaleas, cvclaiuens, primroses and idierry trees being the most called for. E. S. Haskell reports the largest busi ness on ferns and palms he ever did; savs he cleaned out of everything. E. H. Chamberlain says he had the best business he ever did. Wm. Pierce did ten per cent better than last year. R. E. Xofftz is gathering the fruits of his tri]i abroad the past summer. Dick bought heavily of bulbous stock, azaleas, etc., and is ship])ing them everywhen", having a gooil deal more than what the local market can handle. The next liieeting of the Florists' Club will be with R. S. Xoxie. at Mattapoisett. Thursday evening. January 14.

C. POLLWORTH CO. MILWAUKEE, WIS. MANUFACTURERS. CATALOG ON REQUEST. Mpiirlitn tht" RhvIpw when yoii writp TORONTO. The Christmas Trade. Christinas over, we have now time to reflect upon the amount of business we did and the amount our neighbors did ; especially do we note the reflective mood on what our neighbors did. On the whole, the flower trade of Toronto sur- passed other years by a considerable margin. This is very encouraging, con- sidering the reports of the stagnant con- dition of trade in some other lines, of what are known as luxuries. The supply was pretty well up to the demand, while in some lines we noticed a considerable shortage, on single vio- lets, red carnations and good red roses. Colored carnations were scarce all around, the supply of white being much heavier than colored. We don't think any wholesaler filled all his orders, but the retail men of the city and in fact all Canada would be terribly disap- pointed if they received their orders filled in full at this time of the year. It has got to be a custom to order about twice as much as you want, expecting the wholesale men "to ship you a certain per- centage of your orders. H. G. Dillemuth, of Dunlop's, reports his sale considerably in advance of other years, and accounts for part of this for the large advance sale of bells, fancy baskets, etc., but reports his chief short- age in good roses. Chas. Tidy, of S. Tidy & Son, who perhaps has the most conservative trade, reports very favorably on Christmas and the sales between Christmas and New Year's far surpassed the same week last year. J. S. Simmons reports a busy day be- fore Christmas, having taken in .$500 more than the same day last year. W. J. Lawrence reports brisk trade iu plants. He had a quantity of fine poin- settias in pans, which sold well. Also red tulips and single daffodils. Jay & Son report their old time brisk Christmas trade, their shortage being good colored carnations. Wm. Hill, on Younge street, who con- ducts an extensive business in plants and flowers, reports sales quite up to expecta- tions, and had to refuse many customers Thursday afternoon. Quite worthy of mention were a quan- tity of poinsettias sent in from the Georgetown Floral Co., which were, with- out exception, the finest seen on the To- ronto market for some time. T>. J.

The weather previous to Christmas was loUl, extii'incly rloudy and snowy, iust as unfavorable for cut tlowors to blos- som as could l)e imagined. Flowers were scarce, especially red carnations and red roses. The supply itself was larger, fully thirty per cent or more, than it was last year on account of the increased glass area; oth"rwise business was about th^ same as last year, everything selling out close in the cut tlower line. In jilants. the sui>ply was less than last year, and was totally inadequate to I he demand. There were cyclamens, primroses, poinsettias and Christmas pep- |«'rs, poinsettias in pans selling the iiest. Boston ferns came next in popularity, with occasional palm and decorative plant sales. .\meriean Beauties, high as was th<: price, were in short dcmaml. The de- mand for red was persistent, soon ex- hausted, then customers were content to use pink and in many instances white, instead. Shipping was especially heavy and steady up to Christma.s morning, and taxed the resources of the growers. Violets were the only tlower in abun- dant supply, and they did not sell as freely as in former seasors. Holly was as usual very popular and the fad of hai'ging a holly wreath tied with red rib- bon in each front window still holds sway. Every grocery store almost iu town had holly to sell. Brown 's seed store lomdled several carloads of the article. dollTig it out to the stores and tlorists as "('11. Very little mistletoe was sold, al- though it was retailed down town at 30 cents per pound. This year it was in better shape than ever seen here before, being well berried. The shipping continued brisk through \ew Year's day. although not like Christ- mas. A brisk demand for funeral flow ers kept even the short-stemmed roses and broken off heads of carnations from go- ing to waste. G. F. C. 1-AKF, C.ENEVA.

An inch of screened ashes on the bench makes an ideal bed on which to place the pots as the drainage is perfect anil earth worms avoid this material so long as it is fresh. They will require shading during bright sunshine for the first week but this should be removed iust as soon as the sun ceases to shine on the bench, as the more light they get so much sooner will root action commence. On bright days they should be syringed morning ancl afternoon — this prevents the ravages of red spider and encourages the eyes to break freely. Due care in ventilating and discrimi- nation in the use of water at this period are absolutely necessary in order to pro- duce hardy, healthy and stocky plants, the only kind that will ever reoay the care bestowed on them. RiBES. TROUBLE WITH ROSES. l[y roses for some reason do not do at all as thej- ought. They were pilanted in June, the soil very heavy. They started out very well but when cool nights in August came they got a check in some wav. which gave them a bad dose of mildew. Since I got them out of this thev have never worked as thev should. Tiiinking the soil was too poi>r I gave them a light mulching the tirst of Sep- tember, but it was of little benefit. In October they started with a good crop and I gave them wood ashes, also lime about every fifteen days. I slake the lime to a powder in a box, scatter it lightly on the bench and water it in, right away. Is that right? The water is pretty hard. I gave them another mulching last month. Now the plants are large anel I have cut a fair crop, but in general the stems are short and weak, also a lot of blind wood. The plants seem very hard anel the wood is turning brown. The new breaks are a pale green and in some places the buds don 't open properly. The foliage is a dark green, healthy color. The soil seems to be all right. The houses are run at from .55 to (iO degrees at night. 70 to 74 by day and freelv ventilated. I send a samnle plint. What is the trouble? E. F. H. The wood and buds reached me in such a withered condition that it was prac- tically impossible to detect any disease, even if it had been present, so that I must rely entirely on the data as given in the letter. The conditions described can resvdt from various causes. "While the general treatment seems to be along the right lines, there is without doubt some 358 The Weekly Florists^ Review, JAXIAKI 14, 111(14. special cause wliicli proiluces siuli re- sults. The fact that the foliage is o f the proper color is evidence that tlie sys- tem of watering is not at fault. The e.vcess of blind wood can be ac- counttd for in two ways; viz., by using deteriorated stock, which is a most frnit- ful cause. That this is the cause is partly confirmed by the young growtlis leing of such a weak color. This would also account for tlie buds failing to prop- erly develop. Improper cutting of f'e flower stems will also cause blind wood; where too many eyes are left they usually are too weak to produce buds. The correspondent fails to mention tlie component parts of the mulch. The cou- -ineh pine. This gives him a uniform spray for the entire length of the line. Smaller pipes are, of course, used for shorter lines. There are a great many ways in which Jhe apparatus may be installed. The pipes may be placed close to the ground or elevated anv distance, as the circum- stances seem to make advisable, and thev may be arranged to turn from side to When we sent out for the remainder of the Cook roses and found them the ashes of a bonfire, great was the janitor's pain and our consternation. But these roses are very beautiful indeed. The white ones were big, full, magnificent and on stiff, leafv stems. The pink has beauti- ful buds 'and is reported as being very prolific. The red was looked upon with much favor as a substitute for Meteor, where Meteor cannot be grown suecess- fullv. About frozen flowers: Mr. Langhans, of the Cut Flower Co., advised that when flowers come frozen they should not be unpacked and put into dishes oV sprinkled over with water, but instead remo\e the cover from the box, place paper over it and put the whole into a cold, dark cel- lar to thaw out gradually. Mr. Breitmeyer and some Canadian people sent roses, but on account of the delav on the railroad caused by the- snowstorms, they did not arrive in time for the club meeting. Our home-grown Bride and Bride«maid roses were magnificent, the finest coining from Fred Burki's place at Bakerst..wn. Tom Ulam said more Bridesmaids were used and sold in Pittsburg than, prob- ably, all other kinds combined, and next to it Brides. Mr. Burki went into detail regarding manv new roses he had grown, bu't Bridesmai'd, Bride and American Beautv are his stand-bys. Cms Ludwig corroborated the same as regards mar- ket sorts, but they are getting some fine roses of other sorts, as Sunrise and Canadian Queen, from Canada, that sell on sight. Randolph & McClements are using La Detroit with esteemed ef^'ect in aristocratic decorations. The Bhml Brothers are growing fine Meteors. John Jones described how pot-grown hvbrid perpetuals are grown at Phi pus Conservatories and D. Fraser told how he grows roses in winter in a private greenhouse. Mr. Langhans gave us a very pertinent lesson on how to pack cut flowers for sending a long distance. He uses liffht wooden lioxes and lines them witli mniiy folds of common newspaper, then a Im- iii.r of wax paper in the inside next the flowers.

Lay them in single rows of ten, heads close to- aether, and alwavs pack the blossoms dry snd never springle them over with water. Over these flowers place a strip of wax paper and pack again, layer after laver from both ends. Here and there over the flat steins of the packed roses put in a one-half inch square cross cleat wrapped around with tissue paper and with a small nail-pin in each end to fasten into tlie sides of the box.

We mail you a frond of Pteris tremula on which there is some scale. Wo have tried Rose Leaf Extract. Kindly tell us what they are and how to get rid of them. H. H. C. An examination of the fern frond re- ferred to proves that the insects in ques; tion are the common turtle scale, also called largo brown scale, one of the pests to which ferns in general are sub- ject, and a pest that spreads very rap- idly among these plants, especially those that are grown in a warm greenhouse. This insect may be kept down by re- peated doses of a solution of the to- bacco extract, the best method of apply- ing the treatment being to dip the plants in the solution anel then to lay them upon their sides to drain off. But it is im- possible to eradicate the insects by one or two doses, from the fact that the solution of tobacco can only be used of moderate strength without injuring the ferns, for example, one part of the Rose Leaf Extract to 100 of water. W. H. Taplin". GLADIOLI BY THE ACRE. Before the recent session of the New Jersey State Horticultural Society, Ar- thur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., read a pa- per on the gladiolus, from which the fol- lowing is an extract: It may interest you to know liow large fields of gladioli are grown. The grounel is well plowed in the autumn, re- ]ilowed, harrowed, drilled and fertilized in the spring, reacly for the planting gang, which on a plantation of seventy acres requires about 100 men, boys and girls. The rows are drilled thirty-three inches apart, into which the bulbs are strewn, after which the back-aching task of setting takes place. Every bulb is set by hand, two, three and four inches apart across the drill, according to the size of bulb, then covered to a depth of from three to four inches of fine soil. In adelition to the bulblets, the growers' stock in trade consists of the small cormels, which are formed among the roots and about the new-grown bulb. These cormels are sowed in row-s twelve inches apart and must be kept free from weeds by'hand. The first year from these are produced small bulblets, which must be again planted another year to secure a m?i-ketable bulb. Ir, most strains few of the cormels bloom, but in the new hybrids many show a fairlv good spike i^hilo forming the bulblct. Before the planting of this acreage is completed the early spike begins to show and horse cultivators are started and are kept in motion day after day until buds begin to appea>', after 'which the soil is not disturbed except tn remove scattering weeds by hand. Some ' se.i- fons the cost of cultivating is much in- creased by the necessity of hand weed- A Cincinnati Store in its Holiday Garb. ing. which is occasioned by the inter- ruption of horse cultivation by exces- sive i'aius. The ground is never worked when there is surface moisture. The last seasou was very aggravating iu this lespect. The most interesting but perplexing part of the work eluring the blooming season is the classification anel rogue- ing. The most of this is done by girls who are constantly 'n the fields, except when prevented by rains. To strengthen the growth of the bulb is one of the most important oper.o tions and one which excites the raosb comment from visitors. This is done by the removal of the bloom after a few of the lower flowers have withered. During these cuttings we are besieged with visitors, who carry aw-ay these flow, ers by wagon loads and deplore the sgeming waste of the quantities left on (he ground. Harvesting is the most simple but tedious part of the grower 's work. Plowing on either side of tJ'e rows loos- ens the soil, from which the bulbs are, liftcel by the spike, which is immediately clipped close to the bulb, after which the bulbs arc spreael upon sheets to euro before storing in the houses, where, eluring the winter, the roots are removed and the stock is sorted, sized and counted for market. In shipping, pack- ages are lined with several thicknesses of paper for frost protection and the bulbs arc packed in planer shavings, so as to prevent bruising in transit. I have many times been asked, how many bulbs could be grown upon one acre. Practically the only reply which could be made to this question is, from 100,000 up to 1,, 500,000, elepending en- tirely upon the size of stock planted and the elistance apart. PIPING FOR STEAM. I propose to enlaTge my greenhouses and replace my hot water boiler with a steam boiler. It has been suggested to me that I could leave my 4-inch pipes or a part of them and use them in place of putting in an entirely new system of pipes. Would this be desirable or prac- ticable"? Part of the pipes are east iron and part boiler flues cemented to- gether. The houses connected run nortl* and south, north ends protected, soutli- gables glass, with eighteen inches glass- on the east side. With the proposeiJ addition there will be: House No. 1,. 12x70, east beech for roses or bedding stock, west bench for cuttings. House No. 2, 17x70, roses. No. 3, 12xS0, roses- ox cuttings. No. 4, 25x90, carnations. No. 5 runs east and west from the shed,, across the ends of the others. 12x65- feet, and is used for palms, begonias,, etc. How shoulel these houses be piped- for steam? C. J. B. It is not practicable to use either th»- 4-inch cast iron pipes or the cemeat joined boiler flues for steam. The ex- pansion is too -great. • The calked joints will not stand it and, in the seeo-nd! place, the radiating surface, if the same piping w-ere to be used, would be too great. For steam under five pounds pressure- house No. 1 will recjuire a 2-iueh riser running from front to rear under tha- gablo and at the south' end divided! and made to ■ distribute into five I%j- inch pipes on the west side under is&ef bench and four on the east side. Hoose* No. 2 will require practically the same- piping. It is somewhat less exposed- anel can be heated by 'five pipes under- each side bench, if a two-bench house or' if a three-bench house by three- pipes under each side bench with four pipes under the middle bench. This* house should also be provieled with O' 2-inch riser running from end to end^ game as in No: 1. House No. 3 ■v^ill be- sufficiently heated by a 2-inch riser- divided at the south end to return un-- der the two side benches in four 1%- inch pipes under each bench. Houso- No. 4 will require a 2%-inch riser dis- tributing into fourteen l^^-inch retnrcs=- under the benches. A satisfactory ar- rangement for these will be' four pipes- under the west bench, five under the- east bench and five under the center- bench. House No. 5 will require a 2-incia 362 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 14. 1904. riser and five IVi-inoli pipes under each of the side benches. This house is some- what more exposed than any of the oth- ers and will require more pipes in con- sequence. The piping specified should maintain a temperature of 70 degrees with five pounds pressure on the boiler during severe weather, pro\rided the sides of the houses are not more than four feet high and are well constxucteil. L. C. C. THE READERS' CORNER. Coal Consumption. Ed. Review: — We notice in your paper the item on the amount Bassett & Wash- burn paid for coal last month. It is a source of satisfaction to hear how much coal others require to run their places. We have often wondered if we were not using more coal in proportion than our brother florists. We would like to ask through your valuable columns to hear from others as to their coal bill for December, giving the amount of glass and how heated. We have 42,000 square feet of glass, all lapped, well bedded in putty, size of almost all our glass 16x18. Our outside walls are in good condition and build- ings generally in good shape. We have two tubular boilers, one sixteen feet by sixty inches, with forty-four 4-inch flues; the other fourteen feet by forty inches with 314-inch flues. We use the More- head steam trap to return condensation. Our boilers are on top of the ground. We would like other opinions as to which is best, to use the steam trap or to have a tank for the condensation .and use a pump. We bum slack coal at $1.75 per ton. Our bill for December was a little over $400 and for November $267. We would be glad to hear from other's to see if we are burning up more money than our brothers in the trade. Also will someone tell us if our system can be improved? Gesler & Drury. Sports of Mrs. Lawson. Ed. Eeview: — Seeing in a recent Ke- viEW where D. C. Noble, of Columbia City, Ind., asks for the address of a gen- tleman who has a light pink Lawson, stating that he (Mr. Noble^ also has one of the same color, I suppose these are both sports from the Lawson. Some time ago I saw in the paper where some- body else has a white sport of the Law- son. Now, if this is correct, the Lawson must be a regular sporter, so to speak, as I also have a sport from it, only different in color. The sport I have is white, flushed with delicate pink, shading away to a slight scarlet. It is a much larger flower than the Lawson alongside of it and seems to be a good bloomer, as I already have the second flower on it. One is just closing up and me other just opening. Both are on the Lawson, on two difEerent branches. Three other branches have the Lawson, also in full bloom. GtJS. Obermeter. Heating Problems. Ed. Eeview : — The able paper of Wil- liam Scott on heating is one that should be read by all in the trade. Heat is the life of our business and heating is a subject to be often thought about and discussed. I have seen many s,ystems used, mostly fixed and arranged by in- experienced men, but I must say with Mr. Scott that the best house that I have ever worked in and that gave the best satisfaction with the heating was one installed by Hitchings over twenty-five years ago. I think we will yet go back to the old four-inch pipe with just one return to each flow. By many experts we are told to have three or four returns to each flow. I have one house so arranged, but I find that the lowest pipe is alwav-- colder than the others, which shows that the circulation is not right. If a perfectly level flow is ideal, why not run it so? There will be practically little or no water left in the pipes when wishing to empty the system. If the water presses back on the warm water in the up-hill system it also presses back on a rise of two inches, although to a less extent. Why would it not be better to have the flow perfectly level, or with just two inches fall and return vpith two inches fall? The pet cock could be placed on the highest place above the boiler. Before reading Mr. Scott's paper I was thinking how I could install a good heating system and if it would be a NOTE The Editor is pleased when a Reader presents his ideas on any subject treated in the REVIEW.

Now, as Mr. Scott says it is the best way, I will carry it out. Now another question arises: Will four two-inch flows and four two-inch returns give as much heat as four two- inch flows and eight two-inch returns, us- ing the same boiler and firing the same, as the water in the lesser number of pipes will be hotter and can be main- tained at a higher temperature? Will one foot of radiating surface at 150 de- grees give off as much or more heat than two feet at 75 degrees? What 1 am anxious to find out is if it is better to have fewer pipes at a higher tempera- ture or more pipes at a lower tempera- ture in very severe weather, say 20 de- grees below. In a house twenty feet wide would it not be better to have some of the flows and returns in the center? I hope this will bring out a number of opinions and experiences. P. McG. A Word for Adonis. Ed. Review: — We want to put in a word for Adonis. .Considering the late- ness of the delivery of that varietv last spring, and a few other mishaps it evi- dently had with the disseminators the previous season in the field, we think it has done very well, indeed. At any rate, this is the impression we have of it now, judging of the behavior of the plants we have been able to save. Since housing the first batch of about 300 plants in August, and about 500 Sep- tember 20, we have scarcely lost a half dozen plants and, while the growth has not been rank, it has been uniform and healthy, and seems "fast" enough to become a very profitable variety from early struck cuttings, not later than the' last of February. It easily surpasses any scarlet on the market now, and we look for a very decided improvement next season. H. Webee & Sons. PRESSURE ON TWIN BOILERS. Will some one tell me how to arrange two boilers for low pressure steam so that they will work together harmoni- ously. We have two boilers twinned vrithout checks in the main returns. Whenever one boiler is fired a little haru- er than the other the water is driven out of one and into the other. How can a uniform line be kept? They are on the same level. F. W. F. W. can remedy his difiSculty to some extent by placing swinging check valves in the yoke at the rear of each of his boilers, which connect with tlie main return. If the returns are hign enough so the yoke on the return can be placed on top of the shell of the boil- ers the difiiculty can be remedied by rais- ing the yoke to this height and placing swing checks in it, as before stated, or by tapping the boilers on top and feed- ing the return water through pipes which discharge insii-e the boilers on top of the flues below the water line instead of being connected with the blow off on the underside or at the rear of the boilers. In any case it is advisable to use a check for each boiler. L. C. C. BEST SWEET PEAS. The committee of the National Sweet Pea Society of England decided that an audit of the varieties of sweet peas staged at its exhibition to be held in London on Jul.y 15 and 16 should be taken, with a view to discover what varieties were the most popular. It is rather surprising that in the first prize collections no less than seventy-one varieties were shown among a total of 216 bunches, whereas there were only ninety varieties in the total of 991 bunches staged in the whole competition. This points to the conclu- sion so many seedsmen have arrived at, that the varieties catalogued might be very materially reduced, and that among those in commerce there are a great many that have long since been super- seded. The following is the selection made as the best of each color: Salopian, crim- son ; Prince of Wales, rose and carmen ; Lovely, pink; Jliss Willmott, orange shades: Duchess of Sutherland, blush; Lottie Eckford or Maid of Honor, pico- tee edged; America, red stripes; Prin- cess of Wales, purple and blue stripes; Hon. Mrs. E. Kenyon, yellow and buff; .Teannie Gordon or Triumph, bicolors; Navy Blue, blue; Dorothy Tennant, mauve: Duke of Westminster, violet and purple: Black Knight, maroon and Januaey 14, 1904. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 363 bronze; Lady Grizel Hamilton, laven- der; Dorothy Eekford, white; Gracie Greenwood, fancy; George Gordon, magenta; Coccinea, cerise. A NEW RED ROSE. We rosarians have been patiently waiting, says a writer in the Gardeners' Chronicle, for the red ever-blooming rose which we could put side by side with Hon. Edith Gifford, Kaiserin Au- gusta Victoria, Madame Eavary, Killar- ney, and so forth, and to us it has come in M. Pernet-Ducher 's new Etoile de France. First of all it is bright, bril- liant red, as red as Fisher Holmes; and, secondly, it is even more fragrant than La France, which, partly for this abounding and delicious quality, we sus- pect is one of its parents. It has, too, on its petals a bloom which at once sug- gests Victor Hugo. Are these two roses, then, its actual parents? We had better not pry further into M. Pernet- Ducher 's secret, but be content with thanking him for one more of the many benefactions his skill has bestowed upon our gardens. Looked at critically, it has little, if any, yellow in its compo- sition; while, on the other hand, there is just that suggestion of blue which marks La France. This is its only weak point, for it comes to us warranted by its rais- er to be at once hardy, vigorous, and contiuously in bloom. BENEFITS OF A COLLEGE COURSE, One of the subjects up for discussion at the Florists' Club of i-niladelphia at the January meeting was "The Benefits a Young Florist or Gardener May De- rive from a Course at His State Agri- cultural College." The following are the remarks of Francis Canning, for- merly gardener to S. T. Bodine, ViUa Nova, Pa., now at the Massachusetts -^.gricultural College, Amherst, Mass. Apart from the educational advantages of a coUegiate course in a state agri- cultural coOege, many special features usually obtain in them which will es- pecially appeal to the gardener and flor- ist. Usually gardeners and florists are desirous that their sons should have a better start in life than they luemselves obtained, and frequently a desire for a better education, and are vpilling to sac- rifice time and expense for this com- mendable object. Frequently, however, such a course diverts the student from the pursuit in which he is in after life expected to shine. In perusing the curriculum of an agri- cultural college, ii will be gratifying to find , how many studies are presented which treat upon tne broader principles lit' agriciillura! and horticultural pur- suits, wherein an outline of many im- portant principles in gardening are ma-de special features. Apart from this some agricultural colleges have provided a course of studies which cannot help but appeal very strongly to the gardener and florist, notably the Massachusetts Agricultural College, wherein the stu- dents are enabled to make major studies of horticulture, landscape gardening, floriculture and greenhouse management. The whole is under the direct supervision of Professor F. A. Waugh, an acknowl- edged authority and author on those sub- jects. The subject horticulture deals largely with vegetable and fruit growing. Prac- tical examples consisting of large acre- ages of vegetables, small fruits and or- chards are available for field notes and observations, which are daily recorded by the students. Visits are also made to diflierent neighborhoods to note conditions and students are frequently appointed judges at county fairs, when large dis^ plays of fruit are frequently seen. Men with a national reputation along some of these lines lecture upon their special subject, affording the student the op- portunity to note the qualifications re- quired for that branch. In landscape gardening a preparatory course has been going on from the fresh- man year by the study of mathematics, so that when a student elects landscape gardening in his junior year he has already some valuable information to help him in the many problems which present themselves. A well equipped room is furnished with a number of instruments of the best design and every- thing is thoroughly up to date. Field work, in teams of three, is taught, sur- veying, etc., and each receives a thorough acquaintance with all instruments used by the landscape gardener. This is sup- plemented by drawing maps, plans, etc. Nor is this all. Each student must be- come acquainted with the living material with which his pictures are composed. This means knowing the plants used, starting with annuals, perennials, climb- ers, shrubs, trees, evergreens and bed- ding plants. Large numbers are grown and used on the grounds, exemplifying the purposes of each. Visits are made to local estates and neighboring towns and an enthusiastic interest is soon man- ifested by those who have the subject at heart. In horticulture and greenhouse man- agement no efforts are spared to make the course interesting and instructive. Instruction includes seed sowing, mixing soils, potting, propagating and growing many kinds of florists' flowers; green- house construction, heating, science of ventilating, etc. Visits to commercial es- tablishments and general acquaintance with all plants used by the florist, va- riety names of roses, carnations, chrys- anthemums, etc., and their special treat- ment. Large greenhouses wherein this material is grown are always accessible to the students. It can readily be seen what a broad- ening of mind a student receives in such a course. At home he may have learne.i one particular subject better, but how much better equipped is he now to branch out and be a credit to his parents' fore- sight. RADIATION. When new houses are in contemplation the piping is generally a prominent con- sideration. There is often a mistaken idea that what is usual is suflficient with respect to heating requirements, but there is nothing like plenty of heating surface. The greater number of pipes, the less difficulty of securing the de- sired degree of temperature, without the undesirable fumes and unsatisfactory ef- fects of excessively heated pipes. A little money spent on an extra row of pipes will soon be refunded in fuel saved with less risk of injury to the plants. H. J. C. LoCKPORT, N. Y. — On January 8 fire did $2,400 damage at the greenhouses of Frank B. Lewis. He had no insiir- CHICAGO. The Market. This has been another very quiet week and it is only a grain of consolation to hear that trade is dull in many other cities. The local stagnation has been charged to the after effects of the great theater disaster, but no cause can be as- signed for slack shipping demand save that trade is dull throughout the country. Most of the wholesalers report the usual number of orders coming in, but most of them are small, and they do not take up stock very fast, with the result that prices are steadily retrograding, except on the best grade of tea roses, and these hold firm because of Ught receipts rather than from large demand. With most of the rose growers crops seem to be still going down hill. There are plenty of Beauties and quoted prices are down to a point wliich might almost be called bargain rates for January and such fine long stock. Chatenay is selling weU and Liberty is both good and popular, the best grade." commanding fair figures. A few very special Brides and Maids seen in one or two houses are still bringing 12 to 15 cents over the counter, but the grade usually sold goes at 6 to 8 cents. Carnations are not in such heavy sup- ply as had been anticipated and were trade progressing at its normal pace there would be no over-stock, but never- theless values are shrinking day by day. Much of the stock is of fancy quaUty but there are complaints that it will not keep, this being the usual story just after the holidays, and this year the wholesalers know whether it is true or not, for they have ample opportunity to make tests. There are large quantities of bulbous stock about. If anyone feels that he was held up on the price of valley or Paper Whites the day of the great rush for funeral stock he can now get even by buying all he wants for 2 cents, al- though it may not be the freshest of stock. Violets are still in the dumps, bargain rates being quoted, even on the fancy Hudson river goods. Various Notes. It has been announced that the Flor- ists' Club will hold a series of meetings in various parts of the city in the next few weeks and the first of these is sched- uled for Saturday night, January 16, at Matt Evert 's, Rose Hill. This is close to the Reinbergs' and many other grow- ers. Everybody is expected to go. Take the Lincoln avenue cable and transfer to Robey street; the end of the line is in front of the meeting place. The party from down town is expected to meet at the Perfecto, Wabash and Randolph street, and proceed from there at seven 0 'clock. Wietor Bros, propose to extend their business in all directions this year, and will have a larger lot of cuttings for the trade than ever before, notwithstanding that the requirements for their own place will be largely increased by a new range of glass in the spring. They have a couple of very good red seedlings, one a cross of Triumph and Jubilee, the other of Lawson and Prosperity. If these pan out it is not unlikely that they may try their hands at introducing novelties. Wienhoeber had a decoration on Tues- day in which he used 125 cattleyas, sup- plied by E.

Fleischman used 1,000 Uncle John roses in a recent decoration. Flint Kennicott is again laid up with the rheumatism. F. Stillo, at Niles Center, lost a child last week, 6 years of age, and has the sympathy of everyone in the market. P. J. Hauswirth was at Jacksonville, 111., on Tuesday in charge of the tlowers at a funeral in the family of one of his customers. The bowlers had a good session last Thursday evening. There was a fine turn out, the Stolley brothers, Asmus, ilrs. Hauswirth and Miss Kreitling, making particularly fine scores. In the future practice will be had on Tuesday even- ing. John Lambros states that the otlier club will bowl each Thursday' beginning- tonight. rieischman is reported to have lost a lot of Christmas stock frozen in a broken down automobile. E. F. Winterson says that whenever business in cut tiowers slacks up a little he can always find something doing in the suppl.y department. F. G. Hunt is no longer with W. X. Rudd at Mt. Greenwood. The A. L. Randall Co. is handling a nice lot of white lilac and some of Buettner's fancy mignonette. Frank Garland is getting in Paper Whites by the thousands, in fact a little faster than he wishes he was. He is still cutting a few mums. C. W. McKellar is now getting in " a little of everything ' ' and finds a fair trade on miscellaneous flowers on a floor lieretofore given up to roses and carna- tions. The annual meeting for election of of- ficers of the Horticultural Society of Chicago was called for the Great North- ern hotel Tuesday afternoon, but a cjuorum was not obtained. Sam Graff is here from Columbus, where Gratf Bros, are doing a nice wholesale and retail trade, and "Billy" Graff is now in charge. One of the brothers does the buying in this market, the other the selling at Columbus. Bassett & Washburn report a very good run of shipping trade the first part of this week. Fred Klingel, bookkeeper for Peter Reinberg, is again quite ill. A surgical operation was performed on him Mon- day. Lloyd Vaughan has started on another trip for E. H. Hunt. E. H. Stewart, of Milwaukee, was a recent visitor. CINCINNATI. Club Meeting. Saturday was the regular meeting of the Florists' Society and though scarcely more than a quorum was present, einsid^ erable business was transacted. Owing to the absence of the secretary, Geo. Mur- phy, Henry Schwarz was appointed to fill the post. E. E. Brann, of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Co., was admitted to mem- bership. The schedule for our rose show, to be held in our club rooms the second Saturday of February, was adopted and ordered printed and sent out to prospec- tive exhibitors. A. F. J. Baur, of Baiir & Smith, In- dianapolis, was present at the meeting and exhibited a vase of their new carna- tion, Indianapolis. This is certainly a beauty, with fine stem, color, size and calyx, in fact everything that goes to make a fine flower. It appears to be a prolific and early bloomer, and judging by the report of those who have seen it growing it is a good commercial variety. A committee of judges was appointed consisting of Wm. Murphy, Ben George and August Hoffmeister, to pass upon it and they awarded it the society's certifi- cate of merit and recommended it as a commercial variety. Mr. Baur says that it is a cross between Armazindy and Joost. The Market. The least said of business at present, the better. Besides funeral work there is very little doing. Once in a while there is a spurt but it soon subsides into the same slow rut. Roses are about equal to the demand but prices have dropped considerably, especially on pink. Carna- tions have increased greatly in supply and the price has dropped fully fifty per cent on ordinary grades, with more than enough to go around. Violets have been almost a dead letter and some days they would scarcely move at any price. Bulb- ous stock has moved well and valley is scarce. Sprengeri and asparagus are scarce but there is plenty of smilax. The coming week holds forth better prospects as society is beginning to bet- ter itself after the post-holiday rest. Various Notes. A great many of the trade are on the sick list, none seriously ill, but still un- able to attend to business. Among the invalids are Chas. Jones, R. A. Betz and T. W. Hardesty. Geo. Murphy reports one of his chil- dren as very sick with pneumonia. R. Witterstaetter 's mother-in-law died last Friday. She had been very sick for some time. The funeral took place Sun- day afternoon, the burial being in Spring Grove cemetery. Miss JHinnie Culton, who for many years has been stenographer for J. M. McCullough's Sons, has just received the appointment as chief stenographer to Wade H. Ellis, attorney general of Ohio. Theo. Bock, of Hamilton, is on the sick list. It all came through a leaky boiler. Mr. Bock was obliged to attach a traction engine to his heating pipes in order to keep up the required temperature in his houses. Everything moved along nicely till one night the engineer went to slee-^ and before he awoke about $300 wortli_ nf plants were frozen. Mr. Bock in doing what he could to save his entire plant, caught a severe cold. He is much better at present. Two new retail stores will be opened for business this week. One on McMillan street. Walnut Hills, by Lew Villner, the other in the • Arcade, between Race and Yine streets, by Freemas & Co. C. J. Ohmee. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Everyone has felt a falling off in business the past fortnight as compared with the same period a year ago. Peo- ple are not buying our stock now. Prices are low and irregular, consignors are dis- pleased, stall holders gloomy and the dealers have their own troubles. The weak-kneed chaps are blue; comparisons appal them. The spunky chaps are quiet but hopeful; they expect to make it up later. A prominent dealer, when asked whether there was any strong item on the list, replied with a smile, "wild smilax." Single dift'odils are in ; W. K. Harris has them in pots. The feature of the mar- ket is the arrival of gardenias. Robert Scott & Son have cut the Gordian knot and S. S. Pennock is now able to offer the swells their cherished English bou- tonniere iu midwinter. Leo Niessen had some shipping orders for Trenton on Tuesday for the opening of the state legislature. This week is better than last, anyway. "R. L. H." The letters "R. L. H. " are printed on certain railroad envelopes and are said to indicate that dispatch is required. It is said that these letters are the initials for "run like hustler," and are bor- rowed by the railroad men from the flor- ists, whom they know to be quick. The profanely inclined attach a different meaning to the last letter, but florists are not profane and will agree with me in interpreting them. Evidently they were forgotten on Phil's last letter to the Review-, or else the railroaders were too busy thawing out frozen switches to heed th'em, for everything was held up on the way except a few little things and the Florists ' Club meeting wire wds hardly recognizable. Know then, kind reader, that the market last week was bad, very bad. Prices fell and flowers spoiled. Then, to add to our trials, there was a big storm that consumed much energy, coal and oil. That the club meeting did Sec- retary Lonsdale proud. Alfred Burton's pa]ier on the advantages of horticultural education was a good one; the fruits of it show at Wyndmoor. Francis Canning sent another clever paper on the same subject. Besides, C. W. Ward and Rob- ert Craig spoke on carnations. John N. May's exhibit consisted of The Bride, a white carnation of great size, and some blooms of a free flowering red rose called General McArthur. Will- iam Bidden will. I trust, pardon the way his name was spelled, while Robert Craig & Son, with a fine lot of Adonis and others; John Kuhn, with a fine seedling. And Adolph Farcnwald, with his superb Liberties, will, I know, exercise the same CHiristiau virtue regarding their being side-tracked altogether. , The Ball Season, The ball season is well under way. One or two big affairs preceded the holidays, but the season proper has just opened, with a huge private ball, a veritable rout, followed by the first assembl.v and another dancing class and the dinners, etc., incident thereto. Unfortunately they don't cut much ice for florists, in general, just a spalsh that momentarily disturbs the serenity of the pond, that's all. The season is a short one, Lent begins February 17. From present indications we shall have plenty of business until then. The Germantown Horticultural Society met January 11. The speakers sched- uled were Frank M. Bartram and War- ren J. Chandler. Orchids, cut flowers, ferns and fruits were shown. Dunn & Co. claim to have been very successful since opening and sa.y the out- look for business in 1904 is very en- couraging. Phil. jANUAnv 14, 1004. The Weekly Horists' Review. 5bf3 NEW YORK. Club Meeting:. The Xew York Florists' Club's first meeting of 1904 was held at the rooms iu the^Grand Opera House building on Mondav evening, and nearly fifty of the prominent members of the club were present. In the absence of Mr. Troy, the late president, John Young intro- duced the new presiding officer, i'rank H. Traendlv. who acquitted himself with all the dignity and ease of a veteran, demonstrating the club's good judgment in its choice. Mr. Traendly's address, which was practical and to the point, did him much credit and follows in full : In assuming tbe duties of in-esideiit I desiri' to thaiil; vou fur tlie boiioi- you liuve contei-red upon roe bv selecting me as your presiding officer (or tbe present year. Tbe club is to be congratulated on Its condition, baving shown progress durinir tbe past year, as is shown by the followini figures: Receipts. $1,072.50: dis- bursements. $038.33; balance on hand, $912.a,'<; due from members, $752.50. Amon;.- the suggestions I have to otter for tbe good and welfare of the club for tbe com- ing year is the establishing of special nights tor 'the exhibition of different varieties of flowers, devoting one date for carnations, an- other for roses and so on through the list. I am fully aware that this is not a new sugges- tion. Init trust tbe committee of awards may be able to stimulate interest in these particular Bights. I think the club win agree with me that something more interesting is needed than to attend the monthly meetings to transact routine business and listen occasionall.v to an essay. It requires some courage to refer to a subject that recalls disagreeable memories, that of tiower shows, yet I have in mind that a way might be devised to arrange to hold an exhibition on a small scale in a hall of moder- ate size, open to the public free or by charging a nominal admission. I suggest that an ad- visory committee be' appointed to consider the advisability of such a plan and report at an early date as to whether such an exhibition could be given without involving the club to any great extent financially, or. in fact, wheth- er it would be at all practicable. I merely make the suggestion for what it is worth and to get an expression of your views on the sub- ject of future shows. I would recommend to the board of trustees that it might be well to have the funds of tbe club deix>sited with a trust company, where they would be earning fi-om two to two and one-half per cent a year, as every little helps. That the summer outings are popular with our members is shown by the success attending them for the past three years. If it is your wish to have another this summer, a committee, should be appointed at once, with power to go Ahead and make arrangements and secure suit- able grounds. I should like to see the dinner committee get to work and complete arrangements for ttiis «vent. Having served my apprenticeship with tbe entertainment committee. I feel that I am justi- fied in venturing the advice to the club to show a moderate liberality in an appropriation fur the use of the committee. While the "canteen" serves its purpose, the committee should also bear in mind that something in the library line would also be welcome. l.^nle>s the Xew York Florists' Club wants to be relegated to the ranks of tbe "has beens" as bowlers, it would be advisable for its ath- letic members to take an interest in tbe lK>wling club, so that we may be creditably represented at the St. Louis convention this summer. I would impress upon you the importance of being on hand when the meeting is called to order at 7:.30. that we may encourage out-of- town members to attend. In conclusion let me ask your indulgence for any shortcomings on my part: I have the best interests of the club at heart and will, with .vour support and co-operation, endeavor to per- form my duties to your satisfaction. Mr. Traeudly was followed by Messrs. Butterfield, Young and Weathered, each of whom acknowledged gracefully and gratefully the honor bestowed and prom- ising their co-operation in making the coming year the banner year in the club's history-. The various committees wore announced by the president. Mr. O'Mara spoke eloquently of the club's apprecia- tion of the good work of the committees of 1903. and also read the resolutions on the death of Thos. W. Weathered and Ceorge M. Cottam. The annual dinner committee consists of Messrs. Lawrence Haflfncr, Lyman B. Craw and Walter Sheridan, and has in- structions to arrange for the festivity soon after the next regular meeting of the club, the second Monday in February. Six new members were elected and eight proposed, evidencing a renewed in- terest that should bring the total mem- bership close to 300 before the end of the year. Letters of resignation were read "from Messrs. A. Herrington and J. M. Keller and regretfidly accepted. The secretary of the Morris County Garden- ers' and Florists' Association sent a letter of invitation to the club members to attend the annual banquet on Wednes- day evening and a vote of thanks was tendered for the courtesy. Quite a few will doubtless accept the invitation. The reports of the secretary and treas- urer were very interesting and showed an excellent standing of the club as to mem- bership and finances, 237 names being on the roll and nearly $1,000 in the treas- ury. Mr. Sheridan, president of the board of trustees, in his report com- mended the treasurer for the splendid showing made and the secretary for the neatniss and accuracy of his records. A discussion of the president 's address was participated in by Messrs. O'Mara, Samuel Henshaw and Mr. Butterfield. References to the splendid success of the florists' clubs of Europe and especially Holland in their exhibitions and the act- ive co-operation of their members, were made as an incentive to progress here. Mr. Henshaw gave interesting reminis- cences of the exhibitions of twenty years ago, and declared that he himself was "as young and enthusiastic today as fifty years ago." A motion was passed entrusting to the club's oflScers the mat- ter of holding a flower show during the present year and the advisability of co- operating with the American Institute and using the same grand hall as in 1903. An excellent outing committee was ap- pointed, with W. J. Elliott as chairinan, and another summer celebration similar, to the last is already under way. A committee was appointed at the sugges- tion of Treasurer Weathered to arrange for the printing of certificates of mem- bership in keeping with the club's repu- tation. Jlessrs. Young, Nash and Daille- douze were appointed to draw up suit- able resolutions on the death of Ernst G. Asmus. A splendid exhibit of seedling carna- tions was made by C. W. Ward. A fine white, a pink, No. 31 of 1900, and the grand red. No. 303 of 1901. The com- mittee of awards reported most favorably as to all and a committee was appointed to visit the Cottage Gardens and report at the next meeting of the club as to No. 303. W. H. Elliott, of Brighton, Mass., was a visitor and gave a very interesting ad- dress, commending the enthusiasm and interest shown by the club and its pro- gressive character, declaring he was un- able to detect any signs of paralysis, and adding his testimony as to the efficiency of the canteen service. He congratulated the president and members on the discus- sions and speeches he had listened to with so much interest and closed with manv practical suggestions as to exhibi- tions, especially of carnations, to which flower he awarded the palm for progress during the year that has closed. He^an- ticipates a great chrysanthemum show in Boston in November. His admiration of the courage of the New York club, after its vicissitudes in the flower show business, was unbounded. He spoke feel- ingly of his friend, Ernst Asmus, and the collapse from overwork he suffered at the Lenox Lyceum exhibition some years ago. Various Items. The seedsmen have their ears close to the ground and hear the voice of the vernal season. William Elliott is already- perfecting plans for the opening of the auction season, which will announce itself unusually early this year and doubtless in time for Easter, which now is only ten weeks away. We are already forget- ting that a week ago we had the coldest wave that has swept over New York in a generation. Among the victims of the zero visita- tion is Wm. Hanft, of Thos. Young, Jr. 's. Sixth avenue store, who has been confined to his house a week with a se- rious attack of the grippe. J. O. S. Hanft, of Hanft Bros., Madi- son avenue, is convalescing at St. Au- gustine, Fla., after a long tussle with typhoid fever. It was a close call and he will not return to business before May. The present week is "banquet week for sure. On Wednesday evening the Dutchess County Horticultural Society celebrates at Poughkeepsie, while the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society has a smoker and vaudeville at Madison. On Friday the New Jersey Floricultural Society dines at Orange. Fortunately the Tarrytown people didn't get hungry the same evening and have placed their ' ' feast of reason ' ' ahead to January 28. The ' ball season, too, has awakened, and the regular events of the season in this line are at hand. On Thursday the Young Arion ball takes place at Arion hall, and on February 5 at Madison Square Garden the annual Arion ball, the greatest of its kind, with elaborate dec- orations, both in charge of Hanft Bros. The latter has been their especial prov- ince for over a quarter of a century. This firm had a novel decoration at the dinner of the New York Athletic Club on last Thursday evening, a floral printing yiress with wheels, cylinder and all the features elaborately worked out in roses, smilax, purple fciil, etc. Two bunches at the Hammersely funeral sent by Hanft Bros.. were of the finest orchids, one composed of six dozen cattleyas and the other con- taining 470 white orchids. At all of the private balls the best work of the Metropolitan florists will be in evidence and with the opera season in full blast and cat, automobile, and other society exhibitions attracting fashionable people the good effects should soon be- gin to be felt by the florists generally and from now on until Lent there should be "something doing" all the time. Bloomingdale Bros, will have, when completed, one of the finest conservatories and tlorist stores in the country, under the able management of Mr. Burnham. During the past ten years this establish- ment has grown rapidly and on legitimate lines. No antagonism to the legitimate florist trade has been developed. Only the best of stock is handled and fair prices are maintained. The new green- house on the roof being built by Hiteh- ings & Co., will be 42x98, and connected wiUi it will be a reception room 22x42, fitted up in the latest Parisian style, wifB palms, fountains and all the accessories. The old conservatories are 25x150, and 25x50, the new store will be 40x40 and beautiful in all its fittings and details. Flatbush celebrated its annual depart- 366 The Weekly Florists' Review.

The prizes were all valuable and the winners lined up for their pick in the following order: Alfred Zeller, Patrick Eiley, David Jlellis, Henry Dailledouze, Eugene Daille- douze, Louis Schmutz, Clemens Woeker, I. T. Irwin, Paul Dailledouze. Cigars, vases, mufflers, tobacco jars, bottles, etc., figured in the general distribution. The greenhouses owned by William Bell, of Bayside, L. I., were completely destroyed by fire last Wednesday. There was no insurance. Mr. Bell is highly es- teemed by his brother florists, who feel much sympathy for him. Cassidy & Sons, of Blissville, L. I., who were also burned out sometime ago, are rebuilding two greenhouses 22x90. Mrs. John Donaldson, who has been very ill with pneumonia at her home in Elmhurst, L. I., is out of danger. W. E. Marshall, the wholesale seeds- man, came to the club meeting Monday evening somewhat battered but "still in the ring," after his accident at New- port. John Birnie, too, appeared with a nose almost out of commission, the re- sult of some strenuous curling with brother Scots over in Jersey. Patrick O'Mara was again on deck after a tussle with one of Job's comforters, which held him captive for two weeks. A boil on the toe is an unusual affliction. After the club meeting Monday night a half dozen enthusiasts, chaperoned by Capt. Lang, visited the bowling alleys se- lected for the new club and unanimously decided they were "out of sight." The club starts with a membership of twenty, all the old-timers among them. The place selected, Twenty-third street and Tenth avenue, with its four alleys, is one of the best in the city, and Monday evening next at 7:30 the opening ceremonies will take place. With the material engaged the captain should take a team to St. Louis that will restore the old-time pres- tige to the New York club. C. W. ducas lives during the summer season at Sparkill, on the Worth estate of thirty acres, which the firm has pur- chased and where nursery and trial grounds are already established. Here roses, shrubs, conifers, ornamental trees and herbaceous plants will be grown ex- tensively. Mr. Clueas is a resident of Orange, N. J., during the winter and Mr. Boddington resides at Tonkers. B. S. Slinn, Jr., has the decoration for the Arkwright Club this week at 320 Broadway, of which he is a member. Over 500 American Beauties, vrith abun- dance of smilax and lilac wiU be used at the banquet. C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens, is at Charlestown, W. Va., this week, and will return to the citv Saturday. W. H. Elliott, of Brighton, Mass., was in town on Monday. .John B. Nugent, of Young & Nugent, was unfortunate, with many others of the wholesalers in New York, in having several large shipments of stock frozen during the cold snap of a week ago. He is handling superb Liberties, 500 to 2,000 daily, some with four to five-foot stems, for which he realizes as high as 50 cents. Arthur Cowee.was in town on Satur- day on his wav home from the meeting of the New Jersey State Horticultural Society, before which he lectured on his favorite theme, the gladiolus. He has secured two acres of space at the St. Louis World's Fair for his exhibit there next summer. J. Austin Shaw. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The weather the past week has been most beautiful, it being warm, with plenty of sunshine. Cut flowers are in great abundance at the wholesale houses. Com- plaints are heard on all sides of dull busi- ness. Some of our florists have orders for decorations for small affairs and there is about the usual activity in funeral work, but transient trade is reported as generally poor. The fakirs, who have been kept indoors during the holidays, are out again in full force during these mce days. Prices on stock have fallen, especially on violets and carnations. Of the first named, Californias are coming in heavier every day and consignors have to be sat- isfied with whatever price they bring. Double violets are very much neglected in this market. Therefore with the ad- vent of southern stock we look for very cheap violets during the rest of th(! month. At the present time they nro selling at 25 and 50 cents per single hun- dred, but much cheaper in 1,000 lots. Of carnations we may say there is a big glut of all varieties, including white, which has a fair demand. The quality of the stock is very good, with prices as low as $10 per 1,000, In 100 lots $2 to $4 is asked and for extra fancy $5 and .$(5. Signs are again displayed in down-town windows which call for 25 cents per dozen, a great contrast with only a few weeks ago. There is also a big pile of bulbous stock coming in, in fact more than the wholesalers can dispose of. Ro- mans, Paper Whites and valley are selling very cheap. Callas are more plentiful and sell well until Harrisii comes in, which will be about next week. Some freesias are in, but not many. Some calls were heard the past week for tu- lips. Von Sion and Dutch hyacinths, but none are in the market as yet. American Beauties are arriving in bet- ter quality than the.v have been, still a great many of them are "bulls." Some excellent stock was seen from Ammann of these. Eancies are scarce, but plenty of those with medium stems are in, also shorts. Good tea roses are not so plenti- ful, still enough Brides and Maids are in for the demand. Meteor and Liberty of the second grades, with short stems, are abundant but fancy grades are some- what scarce. Golden Gate, Carnot anrl Ivory sell well, also Perle. Top price on these runs from $6 to $8 for selects and $3 and $4 for firsts; seconds sell at al- most any price. All greens seem to move well at their usual prices. Various Notes. W, Murra.y Hendrix, of Gainesville, Ga., was a visitor, representing the Stone- wall Lumber Co,, selling orchid boxes. E, W. Guy, of Belleville; J. W. Du"- ford, of Clayton, and "Billy" Winter, of Kirkwood, made friendly calls the past week, Mr, Winter reports that he will visit Chicago and Joliet this week on tli" lookout for new carnations. Rudolph J. Mohr's new card reads, "Superintendent of Landscape, British Pavilion, World's Fair Grounds." Thomas Maher, landscape gardener, fell while trimming trees in front of Dr, Fos- ter 's residence last week and died at the f-ity hospital, his skull being fracture il and three ribs broken. Henry Ostertag was kept hustling with some big decorations the past week. The Eggeling Floral Co. and Emil Schray, in South St, Louis, report some heavy funeral orders of late. At Grand and Olive streets the four florists in this section are making an ele gant showing of cut flowers but report trade somewhat light the past week. There is nothing but good news to re- port from our sick brothers. Max Herzog, Carew Sanders, Julius Koenig and John Hudson, All are coming around nicelv and will soon be out to greet their friends. The prospects of a big delegation froni here to attend the carnation meeting at Detroit, March 2, is good. Some ten are now in line, with more to hear from This delegation will make an effort to have the carnation society come to St, Louis in 1905, We are very sorry to have to report this week the sad news of the deif- Mrs, Max Herzog, which occurred Sur day afternoon at her home at Gratiot Station, The funeral was held on Tues- day at 2 p, m. Mr, Herzog 's many friends, I know, are with me in exteml- ing to him and his daughter our heartfelt s.ympathy. Bowling.

In the last three months of 1903 Paul Swanson, Chicago, says he picked 3,200 pounds of mushrooms from 4,500 square feet of beds. Prof. Galloway, of the bureau of plant industry of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, has asked for an appropriation of $10,000 to be ex- pended in the study of means to amelio- rate the iUs with which the crops of vegetables forced under glass are af- flicted. CUCUMBERS. Where a grower 's facilities are not of the best or the houses not of the bright, up-to-date build it is rather up- hill work to handle a crop of cucum- bers through the dull months of the year, but if started now, by the time they get well under way the days will be growing longer and brighter and the handling of the crop will be compara- tively easy. In a former article I gave my ideas regarding the starting of the seeds, but foT the information of beginners who may not have seen the article mentioned and who may want a little enlighteu- ment, a few hints may not be out of place. The White Spine variety seems to take the market best and is the easiest to handle. Starting them now, I would place three or four seeds in a 4inch pot in a light, free soil, such as one composed of equal parts of sand, leaf- mold and loam finely sifted. Care should be taken to place the seeds with the thin, flat end downward, as the root is emitted from this end, and they will start quicker and stronger if the seeds are properly placed than they will if carelessly thrown in. A propagating pit, where a bottom heat of about 75 degrees can be main- tained, will be a good place to start them. Cover the pots with glass to help conserve the heat, and also keep mice from getting at the seeds, for which they seem to have an especial fancy; if there are any mice around, they will quickly find the seeds and root them out. When well started remove to lighter quarters to prevent drawing, but shade from strong sunlight for a few days, then gradually wear the shading off. They should not be allowed to become pot-bound OT a check may result. Don't attempt to divide the potful, but plant it in as it is, and if four plants are in the pot thin out to three after they have got a hold of the new soil. Cucumbers require a fairly rich soil. One composed of good, fibrous loam, not too finely broken up, with a liberal ad- dition of old cow manure, will suit , them. The old custom of placing a few I shovelfulls of soil in a hill and plant- ! ing in this in place of filling the bench up at once is, I think, a good one, as when water is applied it quickly drains off and elminiates the danger of stem- rot, which is sometimes troublesome if the soil around the plants is kept too wet before the plants are strong enough to take up the moisture. Fresh soil can be added from time to time, as the roots appear on the outside of the hills. Only a little need be added at a time. This system seems to coax the plants along. Probably the freer admission of air to the soil has much to do with it, but cer- tainly the plants come along quicker and grow stronger than when the bed is filled up at once. About four feet apart is the best dis- tance for the hills. When a growth of about two feet has been made the points of the leading shoots should be taken out to throw the strength into the side shoots, as it is on the latter almost ex- clusively that the female flowers axe produced. Hand pollination is necessary to in- sure a good set and the operation will be most successful if done when both the flowers and the atmosphere of the house are dry. The simplest means of pollination is to pull off the male flow- er, first making sure that the pollen is ripe, and shake on to or rub lightly over the pistil of the female flower. If prop- erly handled, fruit should set at almost eveiy joint. The pinching off of the lateral shoots will need frequent atten- tion to prevent the plants from becom- ing too thick and the shoots from crowd- ing one another. The atmosphere of the house should be kept damp and the plants syringed on bright days to prevent the attacks of red spider. Regarding temperature, they can be grown at 60 degrees by night, but if 65 can be kept up, so much the better. It won't do any harm to run them up 20 degrees higher by sun heat, as long as a little air can be kept on. When the plants are carrying a heavy crop they can be assisted by the appli- cation of liquid manure. It is better to apply this often and weak rather than run the risk of causing injury by making the liquid too strong. W. S. Ckoydon. Batside, L.

They have recently completed the entire reconstruction of their houses to obtain facilities equal to the require- ments of their increasing trade. Reading, Pa. — Henry J. Huesman & Son have bought out the well known Brookside cut ilower store at Fifth and Franklin streets, and will continue it in connection with their greenhouses at Schuylkill and Greenwich streets. The firm enjoys a large retail plant and cut flower trade. Savannah. Ga. — Christmas and New Year's trade was considerably better this year than ever before, good stock, plenty of it and good prices. Everyone sold out clean. A, C. Oelscnig says flow- ering plants went better than ever. This has been the coldest winter on recoru; since the middle of November the fur- nace has never been out of use, but for- tunately we have coal this season. 368 The Weekly Florists' Review^ JANUABY 14. 1904. TORONTa Christmas trade was greater than ever. Koses, carnations, violets and val- ley were all ordered ahead of time. There were a tew nice mums for sale and poinset,tias were one of the leading red flowers, which realized good prices and ready sale. Azaleas were the queen of plants offered and were of good quality. Some very fancy obconicas were grown by John Webber. New Year's trade was fair, some cus- tomers returning the Christmas gifts. Grobba .«. Wandrey are sending in •some fine lilacs, azaleas and Trumpet Ma.ior daffodils. William Hill has displayed in his window some very fine stems of Eu- phorbia jacquiniseflora, which proved to he quite an attraction, a novelty to the public, apparently not having been ex- ihibited in Toronto before. Funeral work has been plentiful and some good pieces have been turned out. I might say the coldest snap experi- enced in years came Monday, January 4, when the thermometer registered lo- yally from 12 to 25 degrees below zero, and a few small places had Jack Frost •visit them.

Good Bowlicg. It is not often I bother rou, Mr. Edi- tor, Ti-ith any .sporting news or bowling scores, but liaving attended a tourna- ment game last night I feel proud to recount the prowess of tlie five athletes wlio call themselves the Florists in the ■"Big Five" tournament now going on in this city. The '"Big Fives" are ten teams of five men each, and the tourna- ment began in October, and will last till April. Some of the teams are the strong- ■est in the country and include Champion Eddie Gebhardt with an average in thirty games of 202, and mar.y other.-s. The Florist team is in sixth place, but •coming fast. Last night they took two •out of three games from the "Oppor- tunes, ' ' a team any one of the five of •wlioin could give George Asmus or Mr. Wilcox a terrible laying out. A few of our florists might call around on the nights our boys play a match. I am sure it would encourage them. If this team holds together, it's all off at St. Louis and interest will center about in who will be second. As I sat watching the foul line last night I thought what an entertainiug thing to have instantane- ous photographs of tlie men taken at the instant of delivery and the few following seconds and then reproduced on the bio- graph. .Staid old business men were playing there in a business men's league and the attitudes they put themselves in to watch the results of their effort could not have been more earnest and serious if they were guiding the launching of a 700-foot vessel of their own building.

AMLRICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCUTION. Pres., 9. P. Wlllard. Weibersfleld. Conn.: Plrsi Vlce-Pres.. J. Ohas. McCullough. Cincinnati, O. ; Sec'y and Treas.. C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O The 22d annual meeting will be held at St. Louis. Mo., June. Iy04. Visited Chicago: — W. H. Grinnell, Pjerpont Manor, N. Y. Visited St. Louis: — Frank J. Eies, representing the Goodwin, Harries Co., Chicago. W. E. French, dealer in hides ana wool at Waterloo, la., is also a buyer of seeds. W. E. Marshall, New York, was thrown from a sleigh at Newport, E. I., January 7 and dislocated his shoulder. Onion sets are quoted at $7.60 per bushel in the 1904 catalogue of a promi- nent seed house. This is evidently a mistake. A SOUTHERN truckers ' guide to hand this week quotes Stowell's Evergreen and Country Gentleman sweet corn at $3.25 per bushel. This is likely to be a year when it would have been well for the trade to have adopted a uniform scale of prices previous to printing their catalogues. The scarcity of some of the wax podded varieties of beans is so great that there will be a dithculty in getting enough of them together for stock seed purposes. Between $3.25 and $15 there is quite a difference. These are the highest and the lowest bushel prices noticed in the 1904 catalogues, for Country Gentleman sweet corn. Gradus peas are quoted in some of the retail catalogues at $9 per bushel. This is $3 per bushel less than .iobbers are offered for five to ten bushel lots of this variety. Thb only shortages that seem to be serious are beans, wax podded varieties; sweet com, all late varieties; cucumbers, all pickling varieties; egg plant, choice stock; asparagus seed, most varieties; beet, Edmand's; peas, Gradus; rhubarb. None of the prices asked for wax beans in the 1904 catalogues are high enough. If the dealer has to buy at present values to complete filling his or- ders he will pay the jobber as much nr more than he asks in his retail cata- logue. That current catalogue prices are not the actual values of sweet corn will be made plain by ordering the article from any of the dealers who quote low. If money is enclosed with the order the chances are that it will be returned with the statement that stock is all sold, , or "we have some secured later at a higher price that is available." All the important catalogues have now been mailed and the general report is that mail trade with the south is open- ing satisfactorily, but that demand from the north is slow in starting, possibly due to severe weather, where it had been expected that the well understood short- age in many lines would result in early orders. The one hundred and third annual edition of the general catalogue of J. M. Thorburn & Co., New Y'ork, is worthy of the study of all catalogue makers. The cover is rich without being gaudv and the mechanical features of the book are excellent. The type is clear, the paper heavy and opaque, so that the half-tones show up much better than on most highly calendared stock. The bind- ing, too, is noteworthy in that the book is sewed with thread instead of being stitched with wire staples, as is the case in other catalogues. This permits the catalogue to open flat. CORN BREEDING. Funk Bros. Seed Co., Bloomington, 111., has attracted much attention by the success which has attended efforts at up-breeding in corn. At the annual meeting of the American Breeders' As- sociation J. D. Funk gave an account of the work, which is summarized as fol- lows in the press report recently is- sued : Commerciallv the corn breeder must have one aim and only" one. that is utility. The acre is the farmer's unit. There are three ways to increase his profits per acre; improvement of fertility, improvement of culture, and improve- ment o't productiveness of seed. The commer- cial breeder of corn must increase the number of shelled bushels of grain per acre, and also increase the feeding value of the bushel. On farms aggregating 25,000 acres in area, Mr. Punii and his partners breed a number of va- rieties of corn. They have twenty or thirtv isolated, small fields or com nurgerie». On each are planted the seeds from each of titty or sixty numbered ears of a certain .variety, each ear being planted in a single toW which is also numbered. Before tasseling, all plants that are seemingly barren of an ear are de- tasseled, and weak or objectionable rows are entirely detasseled and thrown out. Each row is husked separately and the corn weighed. By this means is secured the yield per plant of the progeny of each mother plant. From each of the eight or ten rows giving the high- est rate of production, thus showing their mother ears to have had the highest breeding power, are saved several of the best ears for mothers of rows in the next year's nursery. From these same best rows, seed is also saved for larger plots, tlie yields of which the next year are also recorded. The yields of the rnother jDlants, their centgener yields in nur- ^sery rows, and the yields of the field plots, become performance records of the strains of corn as the individual track record and the record of numerous of his progeny, become the performance r.r-cnrd.^ of tiie troflmg horse.

I would like to ask about connecting our boiler with city water. As it now is vre have an expansion tank set on top of the house, about twenty feet above the boiler, with a supply pipe from the city main. This tank is made of wood and has got to leaking and the question is should we abandon the tank alto- gether and connect with the city water direct? Or shou... we put up a eloseil tank in place of the old one? Which ■would you recommend? If you think a closed tank would be best please tell us how to make it. Would heavy galvanized iron answer the purpose? i cannot see why direct connection with the city main would not do. '^aq city pressure is about sixty pounds and our supply pipe %-ineh. J. W. M. Many plants using hot water under pressure are connected directly with the city mains. Unless the piping is all or maleable iron, put together with thread- ed joints, it will not be advisable to adopt this system, as few hot water plants or boilers are constructed to work under sist.v pounds pressure. Your safest plan would be to replace the present leaky expansion tank with a galvanized iron tank of proper size, similar to those used for the storage of water heated by a water front in a kitchen range. These tanks range in size from fifteen to 100 gallons and will probably prove less expensive than a similar tank made of any other metal. It will not be sat- isfactory to tise a. closed tank. Even if the hot water tank referred to be em- ployed it must be provided with a small vent pipe to allow for escape of air or overflow in case too much water gets into the system. L. C. C.

In his inaugural address President Walcott said, among other thii'gs: ' ' There seems to be an impression in some quarters that it has been and is the wish of a portion of the society to curtail the exhibitions, either in number or extent. Those whom I have seen in the hall and at the exhibitions do not have this intention. The exhibitions in the future are liKely to be just as many in number as they have been in the past. ' ' The societv has net assets of $782,- 021.09 Chf ysanthemum Society Invited. The board of trustees of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society held a meeting January 2 and voted to extend an invitation to the Chrysanthemum Society of America to hold its third annual convention and exhibition in Bos- ton next November, in connection with the fall exhibition at Horticultural Hall.

The Gardeners' Magazine. ilicii-VELMAS Paisies.— Asters of tlie iliohaelmas daisy persuasion have been so wonderfully developed of late years that they undoubtedly form one of the chief attractions of many gardens in the autumn, but the great bulk, of the varieties have a terrible habit of abso- lutely invading the garden unless they be subjected to a persistent process of weeding out, and even then are, as a rule, far too robust and bushy for as- sociation with plants of ordinary garden size. Huge shrub-like masses, sis feet high and nearly as much through, pre- sent, certainly, 'a rich effect when cov- ered with their pretty star-like flowers, but when it is found that not only do they overshadow and crowd out every- thing of less lofty pretensions, and that their seedlings come up in such profu- sion and with such inherited self-asser- tion as to • become veritable weeds, the gardener becomes in time sated with them and is likely to oust them al- together. But recently some dwarf forms have made their appearance. Varieg-\ted Ferns. — Probablv the finest variegated fern in cultivation is Ptcris tricolor, the ground color of the fronds being a vivid dark green when mature, though rose-colored in the young state, the center of each pinna purplish- red or crimson, margined with white or silverv-o'ray. Though somewhat variable under cultivation, the effect of this plant is frequently enhanced in good speci- mens by the" diversity of colors displayed in the fronds by the continuous growth, development and maturing of the same, conjointly with the production of the pigmental matter. By some authorities P. tricolor is simply held to be a varie- gated form of P. aspericaulis, an East Indian species. Too Many G.^deners. — Overproduc- tion is a question of more than passing importance at the present day among pri- vate gardeners. The advertisement col- umns in the papers every week tell their own story of gardeners in need of situa- tions. Why do the "situations wanted" so far outweigh the "places vacant"; why do gardeners tremble at the thought of "leaving a situation for the fear that they will not be able to secure another one; and why do young men who wish to become head gardeners have to fre- quently wait long and wearily for the fulfillment of their desires, till hope de- ferred makes the heart sick? There can only be one answer, and it is that the oufput is in excess of the demand. PLEASE MENTION THE REVIEW WHEN WRITING ANY OF THESE ADVERTISERS. 386 The Weekly Florists' Review^ January 14, 1904.

It was discov- ered first in the Ventura mountains, where it grows naturally in great abund- ance, and from that neighborhood it has been disseminated until it is known in all parts of the state. It is liable to be cut down by our severe frosts, al- though in the vicinity of San Francisco, where we have many grand specimens planted, it has survived the cold weather thus far. The roots, of course, do not die, and the branches come up very early in the spring. The stems are heavy and numerous and grow from four to fifteen feet high and are covered with long, narrow, segmented glaucous, smooth leaves three to five inches long. The massive, pure white, fragrant flowers are borne on solitary stems from six to nine inches across and consisted of six white petals with very numerous yeUow stamens. It is not a plant suited to small gardens, owing to its massive pro- portions, but makes a grand adornment for a large place or public park, where its great, showy blooms can be seen from a long distance. It is regarded by English gardeners as a wonderful treas- ure and although it has to be carefully handled in a colder country it well repays the trouble it causes. Fii-'ji*. F»Tns.

As a florist's flower it is all to be de- sired. The flowers when cut should be only half-blown, and it keeps well for a week in water. I have found the plants very difficult of propagation from cuttings, but by root division early in the spring they can be multiplied easily. The flowers seed very freely, but ther are extremely slow iu germination. I planted about half an ounce of fresb seed that I gathered fully a year ago, and up to date I have seen only about twenty-five show themselves, and these within the past four weeks. They grow very quickly when transplanted in the open ground and bloom freely the first season. G. PORTLAND. ORE. The Holiday Trade. The holiday trade was the best ever! Nothing like it in the history of the trade here. When discussing the vol- ume of business done Christmas week two of our leading firms pronounced it their banner week. Active buying be- gan as early as Monday and continued most satisfactorily until New Year 's night. Everything favored us this year. The weather, usually so disagreeable at this season, was clear and cool, but not frosty, which made the delivery of plants comparatively easy. Local grow- ers fared well and supplied us with a fine lot of cut flowers. Stock imported from California also arrived in excellent condition, probably due to a few vigor- ous kicks by the florists to the express company for their carelessness a year ago through which all lost so heavily. The supply was equal to the demand and prices averaged as high as last year. Carnations in leading varieties retailed at $2 per dozen, with beautiful En- chantress, monarch of all, commanding $4. Koses sold readily at $2 and $3 per dozen. We had a few hundred choice chrysanthemums, the best blooms retail- ing at $8 per dozen. In flowering plants the cyclamen and azalea headed the pro- cession, and, when displayed in the cus- tomary Christmas trimmings, were speed- ily moved. The florists ' windows were decidedly attractive and appropriate to Christmas, the greatest hit being a striking com- bination of Oregon holly and red bells. We wired New York a duplicate order for bells and received reply that all were disposed of. The sale on green goods equaled that of a year ago. Ore- gon grown holly and mistletoe is un- surpassed and there was a sufficient quantity to supply the local demand. Holly is sold here by the pound weight and the disposal of same is now more widely distributed than heretofore, the street venders having a small corner on the market. Special orders for holly wreaths at $2 each were shipped as far east as New York and Maine. Mail orders for loose holly could not be filled and it is to be regretted that more at- tention was not given to the cultivation of same ten years ago, as we would now be supplying all the northwest and Cali- fornia. Holly grows luxuriantly in our climate and one of our florists recently imported 5,000 plants from France, and, as he practically put it, they will prove the best life insurance policy he can carry.

We have had an abundance . f bright, warm days and flowers are be- ginning to be brought into market a little more profusely than they were a week ago. Prices still remain fairly good and I do not look for any reduc- tion this month. Carnations are selling at from 50 to 75 cents per dozen and some of the smaller varieties at 30 cents. Prosperity and Lawson have sold as liigh as $1 per dozen during the past two weeks, but this price was for extra tine stock. Good Flora Hill are in de- mand at 50 cents. Good American Beauty roses are scarce and sell whole- sale today at $2 to $3 per dozen. Fancy stock of this variety is not to be seen anywhere. Bride and Maid are becom- ing somewhat more plentiful and sell at from 75 cents to $1 per dozen. The quality is very fair. Kaiserin and Test- nut are scarce and from the reports of most of the growers it will be several weeks before any good cuts will be made. Chrysanthemums, owing to the favorable weather, are still considerably in evidence and are very good consider- ing the lateness of the season. The best outdoor flowers can be had at from $3 to $4 per hundred and some extra choice stock at about $6. Narcissi are in good supply, both the single white and the double yellow-centered varieties. They bring from 75 cents to $1. Lilium Harrisii is scarce and valley about equal to the demand. Smilax was cut very closely for the holidays. I spoke to a florist today who had received an order for 500 strings and he told rae he had quite a time to get it filled. Violets are still scarce, although the price has been reduced somewhat. They are quoted to- day at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen bunches. Adiantum and asparagus seem to have been clipped very closely, as several of the florists complain that good stock is hard to procure. A few good daffodils are seen and they are eagerly bought up. It will be several weeks before they become plentiful. Various Notes. I regret to have to chronicle the death of Mrs. Honorah Galloway, wife of Al- bert Galloway, the well known carna- tion speciaUst of Fruitvale. Mrs. Gallo- way was buried last Friday and her husband has the sympathy of all the florist fraternity in San Francisco and Oakland.

THE COTTAGE GARDENS, Queens, N. Y. I PITTSBURG. The Market. Since m_v last notes the market has weakened and prices took the downward course. Stock is now plentiful, a large surplus in all flowers existing. The de- mand for flowers was practically shut off by the very cold weather which prevailed most of last week. The temperature fell as low as L'O degrees below zero. Many of the florists who received shipments from distant points had heavy losses by freezing. Quantities of stock were re- ceived frozen into solid mass, which never recovered. Carnations are abundant and selling slowly; in lots of 1,000 they are offered as low as $15 and $20. Eoses are farii"- better, the supply being just about equal to the demand, but the call for Beauties is limited. An over-production in Paper White narcissi and Roman hyacinths is quite noticeable, and quantities remain unsold on the wholesalers ' hands. Tulips, Proserpine, Yellow Prince and La Beine, are being received in quantities but sell slowly. Various Notes. Wm. Lauch is cutting on a fine crop of carnations. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is receiv- ing yellow Trumpet daffodils of good quality. T. M. Ulam had a busy week in funeial work. Breitenstein & Flemm made a lavish window display of violets and baby prim- roses last week. Mrs. E. A. Williams had several prettv decorations the past week. Randolph & McClements furnishe'S the decorations at the Duquesne Club, last Saturday, for the annual dinner of the heads of departments of the Carnegie Steel Co. E. C. Ludwig is issuing an artistic and costly floral album. The album contains new and original designs of his own handiwork. After the installation of the officers of the Florists' Club at the next meetinf. Tuesday, February 2, a "smoker" will be held. The committee is C. C. Eeine- man and Gustav Ludwig, who are making arrangements for a good time. Mr. Reine- man wants all members of the club to at- tend and come prepared to smoke a pipe, sing a song, dance a jig, or tell a story. Boys, refreshments will be served, so don 't eat your suppers before. C. T. Siebert, the inventor of the zinc glazing point, reports a heavy demand for this article. ' Hoo-Hoo.

Edwin Lonsdale will preside and Ernest Hem- uiinjr will deliver an address on "The Old Fashioned Flower Garden." T. H. Peachy will talk on "The Making of Farmers." J. Otto Thilow will discuss "Improvements in Vegetables." James Boyd will describe a recent trip through Syria and Egypt. Other papers to be read are ' ' Lawns and Lawn Making, bv Professor K.

C. Wat- son. OMAHA. Christmas trade was up to the mark; every store man and grower is satis- fied. There seemed to be no favorites. Whatever was offered, if nice ana worth the money, was sold. Some nice Begonia Gloire de Lorraine were seen at A. Donaghue, Jr. 's new store, along with several plants of English holly in tubs. Azaleas and all plants in bloom sold very rapidly; in fact, more pot- plants were sold than ever before. The supply of cut flowers was equal to the demand, with carnations leading, a trifle higher than last year. Hollv, roping and mistletoe were very plentiful; in fact, a glut of the latter. One commission house disposed of 16,000 yards of roping. J. H. B. CARNATIONS 50,000 ROOTED CUTTINGS The profitable ones to ?row tor Cut Plowere. Our stock Is exceptionally fine.

VCe have luul geuiiiue winttr weather with tlie thermometer hovering between 10 anO 20 degrees below zero day and night and an occasional brisk breeze to help it along. However, at the time of writing there appears to be a change and bright days with moderately cold nights will very materially reflnee the amount of coal that onr ilorists are consuming. One of our brothers who is somewhat in- clined to scoff, made the remark the other day. when asked how he was feeling. "Oh. I'm all right, but my coal pile has the ' galloping consumjition. ' ' ' The lack of sunshine we note has made itsdf felt considerably on carnations, which are very soft at present and many complaints are being made about stock not keeping, while some growers tell us that their great trouble is to get any- thing to keep. Eoses are somewhat over- plentiful, especially Xo. 2 stock, wlii'di seems to be more abundant than anythi'"; else. Various items.

T). .1. SALT LAKE CITY. Kverything is dull here at present, ow- ing to the cold weather now prevailing in Utah. During the holidays business was good and went far beyond expecta- tions. The holly trade has passed out of the hands of the florists, the grocery and candy stores handling in large quantities, both loose and made up in wreaths, much to the discomfiture of those to whom the business legitimately belongs. We are looking for a bie spring trade for all the business men here are confi- dent of a very prosperous year. H. T.

January 14. 1904. OCEANIC. N. J. The meeting of the iloumouth Couuty Horticultural Society was held Jauuary S, President Turner in the chair. One new member was elected. The discus- sion of the evening was "The Forcing ■of Lilacs and Azaleas," in which most ■of the members took jjart. Two tables of flowers were shown. II. A. Kettel, .gardener to James Loeb, had five varie- ties of tulpils. some narcissi, Bride and Maid and Golden Gate roses in grand form. William Turner, gardener for M. ■C D. Borden, showed carnations En- chantress, Lawson, Bradt, Prosperity, Queen, Lorna, Roosevelt and Governor Wolcott. Mr. Turner lias about the best ■carnations in this vicinit.v and his En- chantress are exceptionally fine. N. Butterbach, gardener for C. N. Bliss, had Lawson, Prosperity, White Bradt, Manley and a seedling, a soft pink, unique in its shade, which scored 9.5 points and bids fair to surpass Law- son in shape, color and substance. George H. Hale showed a big vase of poinset- tias, which are not easily excelled. Mr. Hale was asked to give a few points ■on the culture of same, which I am sure were a benefit to every one present. The .judges for the night were W. AV. Keu- ned.y, John Kennedy and W. H. Griffiths. The society decided to hold its meet- ings twice a month during the winter, as previously. The eighth annual ball ■of the society will be held on February 12. " B. ■ CANANDAIGUA, N. Y. Business here during the holidays was all that could be desired, plants and ■cut flowers selling equally well. Carna- tions were in short suppl.v, while roses and violets were about equal to the de- mand. Trade has held up very well since Christmas, with never at any time enough cut flowers to go around. McKerr & Hawley have had two very ■fine decorations since Christmas, the ■most important being for the Suther- land-Smith wedding, which was the largest affair of its kind which has taken place here in many years. Eob- ert H. McKerr put up the decorations in both house and church. This firm is growing some very good carnations and roses. CIT FLOWER BOXES. WATERPROOF. Comer Lock Style. The best.

Some of the cuttings you put into sand early last month will be rooted by this time and you should pot them as soon as they are ready. Most propa- gators put their cuttings from four to six times closer together in the sand than they would ijlant them after they are rooted. After they are rooted they at once begin to grow and if they are allowed to grow much they draw up quite rapidly and it takes but a short while for them to draw vip into spindling weak cuttings that are hardly Worth pot- ting. Then, again, the growth will be thin and weak for lack gf , nourishment, which is nearly always absent in the, propagating sand. While the cutting has no roots it needs only water to keep it fresh, but after the roots are formed it is a plant and requires the same food as any growing plant. If these foods were found in any quantity in the sand the cutting would rot in most cases. After the cuttings are rooted we with- hold the water a little in order to pre- vent the cuttings from becoming soft and watery which they will do quickly if the sand is kept as wet as while they are rooting. Don't let them get very dry, however, as that will harden them too much and perhaps stunt them. Also, if possible, let the sun strike them all day for a few days before you take them up. They will suffer less if hardened off just enough so that they are not too sappy. Many growers plant the cuttings into flats about two inches apart and plant from them into the field, while others pot them from these flats a few weeks before planting-out time. We believe in planting from pots and if you will do it the latter plan is all right, but so often you start out with intention of doing it and when the time comes for the potting, you are busy, room is scarce and the young plants are growing nicely, and so the potting is omitted and the young plants go from the flats into the field. The next fall, when your plants won't lift with any ball to them, you swear that you will never plant again except from pots, but the next spring it goes the same way again. We have been in the same boat, but we have learned from the experience. Up to the latter part of January wo pot into small pots, 2-inch or less, and from these about March we shift into 2% or 3-inch pots, according to variety, etc. From about February 1 on we pot right into 2%-inch pots and they usually do very well in them until planted in the field. A light, well ventilated house is just as essential to growing these young plants as it is to the blooming plants. Many growers have a mum house and where these can be used for the young carnations you can give them just what they want. The temperature should be rather lower than liigher than the bloom- ing stock is kept at. Thev shouhl grow ?lowly and stoekily and this can only bf in a cool temperature, say between 45 and 48 degrees. I would not advocate a lower temperature than 45 degrees, as below that you would have trcnilile in keeping the atmosphere dry, and tlie yonng plants enjoy a dry atmosphere as well as tlie older ones. If you have only your carnation houses you can no doubt find a bench in one of the coolest houses that has yielded the greatest part of its season's crop, or perhaps some varictj' has not done very well and yon will be glad to throw it out. Take the soil and all out and put either sand or sifted cinders on the bench to set the of the n(T\-elties as they arrive. If you follow his advice you will have little r rouble. I just want to emphasize what lie says about not placing these young cuttings in a forcing house in order to j;i't a cutting off of each plant, but rnther grow each cutting into a sturdy voung plant that will be able to show what the variety really is. Not long ago I heard a large grower say that last spring he bought 200 Enchantress, but when he planted them in the field he had just about 800 of them. Think liow lie must have pushed them and slaughtered them after they had made a big growth. Don't you believe that he will be one of the first ones ready to throw it out on acount of disease and deterioration? I won't tell you his name, but I will remember that remark if he ever complains along that line. It some- times happens that you can get a cut- ting from a young plant that is grown cool if it was propagated quite early, Init they should not be forced along with that object in view. Some of the novelties are arriving and Rose Mme. Chatenay as Grown by Peter Reinberg, Chicago. pots on. Never set the pots on soil, as the roots will go down into the soil and the plant will feed on that soil, making a large, soft growth, and when you pull them loose the plants will wilt badly. Pishworms are also more troublesome when the pots are set on soil. Disseminating Novelties. Mr. Osborn has a good article in last iveek's issue on caring for the cuttings most of them are nice, clean stock. Some of them are a trifle soft, cause?, no doubt, by being rooted rather warm. We will always have more or less of this to contend with, however, as long as we demand our cuttings as early aa we do. Everybody wants his cuttings in January or early February and the disseminator is obliged to take many cut- tings a week or two before they really ought to be taken and he has to turn 404 The Weekly Florists* Review. Januaby 21. 1904. ou a little extra heat to get them rooted as quickly as possible, and so it goes. We lose our temper if he asks vis to wait a couple of weeks because the cut- tings are not quite ready and, after being urged to ship as soon as possible by a dozen parties, unless he wants to cancel the orders, he takes them out a week earlier than they should be, and then is when his trouble really com- mences, and all because he tried to sat- isfy his customers. And now and again he runs across a man who will unpack the cuttings, pick out the very best ones and, if there are any among them that are not as heavily rooted as might be, send back the few poor ones. Every grower or propagator knows that when he takes a batch of cuttings out of the sand he finds some heavily rooted, others only medium and a few not rooted at all. He knows that those with less roots will grow as well as those with heavy roots and make as good plants, and so he pots all that are rooted at all. You should remember that a nov- elty roots the same way and unless the disseminator leaves the cuttings in the sand longer than they should be, at the risk of having them draw up and become soft, he is sure to have many with medium roots. If he sends out only heavily rooted cuttings he will soon find himself in poor shape to till his orders. Of course you have a right to ex- pect good, clean stock that will grow if given reasonable care, but if a lot comes in poor condition don't ruin thfm altogether by repacking them and ship- ping them back, keeping them on the road a week instead of three days. Pot them up and take good care of them. Notify the shipper at once and he is a poor business man who will not be fair enough to replace whatever you lose after taking the best of care of them. Be as considerate toward the dissemi- ings before, you should always state what express company you prefer. He cannot know which one gives you the best service. Don't be offended if he sends you a box C. O. D. if you have never bought of him before. If he knew you better he would not do it. If this were done more there would be less financial embarrassments. These are all small things in them- selves, but I have seen many gray heads that were brought on a few years too early by just such conditions and actions as named above. A. F. J. Baur. ANOTHER WORD FOR ADONIS. James Hartshorne, of the Chicago Car- nation Co., writes that "noting the words for Adonis in your last issue, l^y H. Weber & Sons, I wish to state that our experience with the variety is very similar. We are so favorably impressed with it that we shall grow more of it next year. While our plants are rather weak and not all healthy, we actually believe the blooms that they are produc. ing are superior to anything the intro- ducer ever saw. ' ' BEST PINK CARNATIONS. Will Mr. Baur tell us what pink car- nation is as good and as easy to grow as White Cloud or Flora Hill? Have Mrs. Joost but for some reason it does not do very well with us. White Cloud and Hill do nicely. Z. When you ask for an easy growing, first-class pink carnation you ask a question that is not so easy to answer. There are several pink carnations on the market that are first-class and there are several that are easy growers, but to find one variety that possesses both of these qualities is another matter. Mrs. Lawsou is good, but not easy to grow. Establishment of S. S. Brenneman, Webb City, Mo. nator as you can. Eemember that he is usually a hard worked man, and that he will do the very best he can to fill all orders satisfactorily. I have as- sisted in the dissemination of a good many new varieties and I know that on the "disseminators' places usually there is nothing that causes as much anxiety as the novelty that is being sent out; anxietv to fill the orders and to fill them satisfactorily; in fact, to satisfy the whole trade. Unless you buy from some dealer or grower with whom you have had deal- Mrs. Nelson is good and grows easUy, but it is hard to propagate. We con- sider Floriana right good and easy to manage. These we consider the best among the standard varieties, but we place our own variety, Indianapolis^ ahead of all other bright pink varieties, for easy management, freedom of bloom, and general excellence in quality. It is our main pink for cut blooms. As I have said in another answer to- day, you will just have to try the dif- ferent varieties yourself until you find one that suits you, and when you find one that does well with you make it your main stand-by and try the new ones as they come ou*", always in search for one that will do better for you than what you already have. You will never find yourself witnout a good variety then to take the place of some old fa- vorite that has run its race and is de- teriorating in health and quality. A. F. J. Bauk. FAIRY RING. I send herewith a bud of Cerise Queen carnation. Can you inform me as to the cause of the spots on the calvx and foliage? O. A. S. I think the disease on the specimen sent is what is called fairy-ring. It is caused by a fungus and must be handled accordingly, and as such it spreads readily if not held in check. First, go over your plants and remove all leaves and buds showing signs of it and burn them. Then spray about once each week with the copper and ammonia solution. Give all the ventilation you can, and in fact do all you can to keep the atmos- phere dry and sweet. This is a bad dis- ease and should not be allowed to get any headway as it will do a great amount of damage in a very short time and then it is hard to get rid of. Burn every sign of it. A. F. J. Batjr. BEST WHITE CARNATIONS, We have not yet found a satisfactory white carnation. Want a medium-sized flower and a healthy productive plant. Have tried Flora Hill, Queen Louise, McGowan, Glacier and Lillian Pond. Is there anything in white with size, shape and productiveness of Frances Joostf I. V. K. About all I can advise you to do is to keep on trying new varieties until you find one that seems to like your soil and treatment. You may find some variety that is not generally considered very fine that will do extra well with you. Flora Hill and Queen Louise are two very good varieties and Lillian Pond is considered by some a very fine white. With us it has done fairly well this year. Innocence is troubled some with bacteria this year but otherwise we think well of it. Her Majesty is a very fine variety we think. The bloom is of good average size and it is extremely free. The color is not pure white, but a little creamy, with a few light pink stripes. I have seen Boston Market growing on several places, and it seems to be a good mate for Mrs. Joost in size, habit and freedom. I have seen most of this year's novelties in white growing and all are promising, but you will have to test them for yourself to find out which is best for vou to grow. Try a few of each. A. F. J. Baur. FOR SUMMER BLOOMS. Last season I set out, for summer bloom, several hundred carnations. They were propagated in October and planted out early. They grew into fine, large, healthy plants, but produced very few blooms. The varieties were Flora Hill, Joost, Crocker and White Cloud. The soil was a heavy alluvial loam. I am very anxious indeed to grow carnations in the field and believe it is a question Januaky 21. 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review* 405 of soil. Is that the reason my plants did not bloom? K. C. I am at loss to know just what could have caused your carnation plants to re- fuse to bloom last summer. The varie- ties were all right except White Cloud, which is not a good summer bloomer. If you set out good young plants and they grew into tine large plants there was nothing wrong with the soil, I am sure. Perhaps you make the mistake of top- ping them after planting them out. Or perhaps they did not get enougli rain to keep them growing through the hot weather. Blooming carnations need to be handled differently from plants that are to be housed for winter blooming. You should be prepared to supply them abundantly with water through tlie sum- mer and keep them growing whdi the others are taking their summer nap. I am inclined to think that either one or both of above mentioned reasons were at the bottom of your trouble. You must bear in mind, too, that you must not expect them to produce a crop in midsummer like they do in the houses. d ■ A. F. J. Baur. A SWING AROUND THE CIRCLE. It is the custom for one of the Daille- douze brothers, of Flatbush, N. Y., to take a trip each year to the principal carnation growing points, as far west as Chicago, and usually it is Paul Daillc- douze who makes the swing around the circle. His visits are always welcome, for he usually leaves more new informa- tion than he takes away. He told the Chicago Florists' Club what he had seen in his travels and here are some of the things he said: Leaving Brooklyn, his first stop was at Cincinnati, where E. Witterstaetter has large batches of seedlings under test. Mr. Dailledouze considers several of them very promising, particularly No. 820, a red which he thinks an all-round better thing than Adonis. At E. G. Hill's, Richmond, he found a house of Adonis which was a splendid sight, in as good shape as anyone could ask, and he concluded that it would not do to pass this variety up without an- other trial. He was confirmed in this opinion 'ly what he saw at the Chicago Carnation Company's place. He visited the Mrs. Grave place at Eichmond, to see if he could learn how to do McKinley, which has proved a dis- appointment at Flatbush. He also called on Chas. Knopf, formerly foreman at the Grave place, now a member of the firm known as the B. K. & B. Floral Co. Their ,Block looks good. Reverting to the Hill place he said that they have a red seedling rose that looks to him to be an all-round better thing than Liberty. It has the color, more petals, better growth, and it is said to keep going all winter. At Indianapolis Mr. Dailleclouze was favorably impressed with Baur & Smith 's new pink and aelviseel that it be tried. Going to Dorner's he was well pleased with both Lady Bountiful and The Belle. He thinks each worth a trial, but prefers the former for his own use. At W. N. Eudd's he liked the white he is growing, also Phyllis, the light pink, and said the latter ought to have a good place beside Enchantress wherever a shipping trade is done, for he heard Rose Uncle John, a Pink Sport of Golden Gate. many complaints that Enchantress will not ship satisfactorily. He liked the looks of the stock in the big cut iiower plants around Chicago, several of which he visited. Going out to JoUet he was well pleased with Crusader, but he was all eyes for Fiancee, a few plants of which he had seen at Dorner's. He says that there is nothing in sight to equal it. THE BRENNEMAN PLANT. The accompanying half-tone was pre- pared from a photograph recently taken of the greenhouses of S. S. Brenueman, corner Roan avenue and Joplin street, Webb City, Mo. Mr. Brenneman 's prin- cipal crop is carnations, but he also grows roses, ferns, green goods, etc. He reports a fijie holiday trade both at the greenhouses and his retail store at .Top- iin, Mo. A WINNING COMBINATION. Kindly discontinue our Carlson's aster seed advertisement. Although we have had this in your paper only one week, our stock is exhausted owing to the ex- ceedingly heavy orders received since our advertisement appeared. We do not know whether this is due to the fact that your paper goes in the hands of so many live florists or because the florists in general recognize the superior quality of this seed. ' E. H. Hunt. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. During the busy season of propagating and caring for the young stock it fre- quently happens that the old stock, so long as they appear in good health, are somewhat neglecteel anel left to take care of themselves in a great measure. Proper attention to training so that every flower stem may be kept in an upright position and have the buds as fully exposed to light and as free cir- culation of air as possible, will result in a larger cut of high grade blooms. Neg- lect in this respect particularly at this season is conducive to the growth of weak, sprawly wood, which, if it does not come blind, will only produce weak necks and these are year by year, as cultural methods improve, becoming less marketable. To secure a nice straight stem with peifcct foliage and well developed bud the lateral shoots should be removed while they are yet young and soft. If they are alloweel to remain long enougli on the stem to become hard and woody they have by that time used a great deal of the nourishment which should properly have gone to develop the bud. The stem also will be more or less kneed, which spoils its gracefulness and detracts from its value. Could we thoroughly realize the im- 406 The Weekly Florists^ Review, Jaxl.vry 21, 1904. portance of deauliness aud pure air and how eloselv these conditions are asso- ciated Ti-ith health, the ground under the benches and the walks would be as free of weeds and decaying matter as the soil on the benches. Were thtse matters more closely studied there would be fewer diseases, and as weeds and rub- bish are the favorite sheltering places of thrips and red sjiider, if these are rigidly excluded, these 'pests will be easier kept in subjection. We can now expect an increase in the duration of sunshine from day to day and can with more confidence resort to liquid feeding. This can now be applied to healthy stock more frequently, adding a little to its strength as the season ad- vances. Mulching should also be re- newed when necessary. Ventilation can also be given more freely and advantage should be taken of every bright day to admit plenty of fresh air, as this is one of the most essential requirements of health. While this is being practiced due care must be taken to guard against sudden and extreme fluctuations of tem- perature, as this is a fertile source of mildew. These sudden changes also se- riously affect the tender growths, caus- ing checks which often result in mal- formed buds, especially in Beauty crops. and causing black heads in Meteors, which, when once started, are hard to bring back to good color again. At this season any neglect in the weekly fumigation will be followed by the appearance of hosts of green-fly which now multiply rapidly and which will greatly add to our troubles and call for more energetic efforts to again get them under subjection. Eibes. SPIRAEA JAPONICA. We have about thirty pots of Spiraea japonica which were planted about the first of November and put immediately into the propagating house. About the first of December we moved them into the rose house. Only one has shown any signs of leaves. The roots look strong and healthy. Please tell us how they should be treated. L. L. B. We think there is nothing the matter with the spiraea roots, only a great mis- take was made. If they were imported roots you must have put them into the |)roj)agating house directly after they were received. It 's simply a ease of I heir having no rest and they will take a few weeks' rest in spite of the heat you gave them. So many times has the very simple operation of forcing the spiraea been written up in the columns of the Eeview that I don 't understand how you have escaped it. ' ' Read, mark and inwardly digest" all you see in the Re- view and you won 't make many mis- takes. By this time most likely your spiraeas will be showing signs of growth and if you want them for Easter, and that's the only time they are profitable, it will likely still be too early unless you keep them cool anel shaded during the month of March. Next fall unpack and place in flats with a little soil or litter over the crowns and keep them under the snow and allow about ten weeks in the greenhouse to bring them into flower. W. S. ROSES A SECOND YEAR. We purchased last year a very fine stock of roses from the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. The roses are in very fine condition and as they are not quite a year old, I hate to throw them away this year. They are in excellent condi- tion, and have been blooming well this season. Now, the question arises, can we grow these roses another year by giving them three or four week 's- rest in May? Will they pay us in the cut flower business, and will we get good results from same the coming season? C. E. S, Tliis is a question which is propounded to mo several times a year. It does seem like a sacrifice to throw out stock just when it looks to be approaching its best, but experience teaches us that there is greater risk of failure, more work and skill required to carry a house over with profit than in handling young stock, ilost of us have given way to this feel- ing from time to time, and many have been the attempts to do this successfully. Some have succeeded fairly well in car- rying them over, not only one season, but three or four. One grower of my acquaintance has a house which is three years old, and so well is he satisfied with his experiment that he contemplates car- rying it over yet another season. The majority of these experiments, however, are usually so much of a fail- ure that one trial is all we care to risk. PersonaU}', I favor young stock, as by this method I have had most success and have seen more success attending well handled young stock than with car- ried over stock however skilfullv han- dled. I have a theory that in the future our cultural methods will so improve that carried over stock will be the rule, as it is among English growers. This, how- ever, being in the experimental stage, is a subject for expei'ts and as experiments are simply a groping after knowledge and are therefore liable to failure, it is safer for the ordinary grower to abide by established and certain methods if he wishes to avoid such. Ribes. SOFT GROWTH. We have Bride and Bridesmaid roses that are growing nicely, but the trouble is that when a,, bud sets on a cane it stands open, with stumpy green petals. By, leaving it on it makes a tolerably faiT rose, but is wide open. The side branches of the same plants make good buds and roses. We used rotted sod, four parts to one of manure, with ten pounds of bone meal to 100 square feet of bench. What is the trouble and the remedy? C. H. H. Those canes which are produced from or near the base of the plant during the short and sunless days are frequently so devoid of woody fiber that they are in- capable of developing the buds properly. Cutting them back to the eyes which are likely to produce the strongest lateral shoots is the most profitable way to treat them. As this condition is most preva- lent where the soil is deficient in cal- careous matter, a sprinkling of lime has often a very beneficial effect. As the days lengthen, accomp.anied by a longer duration of sunshine, when ventilation can be more freely given, the wood will be of a better quality, and the defect will disappear.

Wein- schenk gretnhouses, at Xew Castle, ta., in this issue show what may well be said to be the most remarkable vegetable forcing houses in this country. The nearer house, of which only a part is seen in the photograph, is 60x200, the further house 80.\-200. As is seen, the houses stand on a side hill, the grade being steepest under the narrower house and four inchts to the foot under the house which is eighty feet wide. A cross section of this house is also shown, illustrating the style of construction. Under the long slope there is a line of purlins every six feet, the roof being seven feet six inches from the ground at the ridge and four feet at the south gutter. The ridge is twenty-seven feet and eight inches above the south (lower) gutter, but ilr. Weinschenk says he finds no trouble in ventilating or in heating. There are twenty-three four- foot ventilator sash, each the width of four lights of 20-inch glass, along the south side of the ridge, and in the side wall there is a continuous line of 20x30 ventilators. Both houses have solid beds, made of swamp muck twelve inches deep, liber- ally enriched with cow manure. In the nearer house there are four beds, each twelve feet wide, each bed elevated four feet above the one south of it by a retain- ing wall. Xo walks are provided, a line of 6-inch boards being laid along the center of each bed before planting, for convenience in setting plants and water- ing w'hile the crop is being started. The wider house is on the same plan as the other except that there are no retaining walls, there being a gradual rise of four inches to the foot. The narrower house is heated by a No. S sectional steam boiler, by the over- head system, having one 3-inch main and eight IVi-inch flows near the glass, the same returning about fifteen inches from the ground. The bottom bed has about forty per cent of this piping, there be- ing proportionately less as the house rises, it being obvious that on account of the sharp incline the heat rises quick- ly to the top. Nevertheless, an even temperature is maintained, varying but little except for a few feet at the bot- tom wall in severe weather. The wider house is heated by a No. 10 sectional steam boiler, with one 3-inch main and eleven 1%-ineh flows and returns dis- tributed as described for the other house. Both these houses are devoted to veg- etables, growing three or four crops of lettuce and one of cucumbers from Oc- tober to June, or beginning with cucum- bers in September, followed by two crops of lettuce and ending the season with another crop of cucumbers. Mr. Wein- schenk says these houses are especially adapted for these crops and under favor- able conditions, with good stocky plants, lettuce is usually ready in about six to seven weeks in mid-winter, often averag- ing ten to twelve ounces each. Grand Rapids is the variety grown, planted 8xS inches. But cucumbers are the most profitable crop, the plants fruiting heav- ily in the fine light. Jlr. Weinschenk built the wider house after having tested the other, the plans and material being supplied by the John C. Moniager Co., Chicago. He says that he is satisfied that where these wide houses can be erected they possess many advantages over a range of smaller ones, getting much more light by eliminating shade from gutters or walls. There is also economy in construction and heating and Mr. Weinschenk says they are much more convenient to work in. TOMATOES. I can sell a good many tomatoes during .Juno and .July. How "long does it take from the time the flower is set until the fruit is ready to pick? Can I grow them in pots and plant out about May 20? What size pot would be required and how far advanced would the plants have to be at that time? It is intended to grow them to one or two stems. What variety would be best and when should seed be sown? L. N. The time between the setting of the flower and ripening of the fruit depends so much on the weather that no definite time could be specified, but under aver- age conditions it would probably be from six to eight weeks. Seeds should be sown not later than the middle of Febru- ary, and the plants kept growing on and moved up without a check. They will need S-inch pots before the time of planting out. We grew a lot with this same end in view last year and they proved quite a success. Although the plants could have been held over in 6- inch pots we considered that the larger shift was necessary to avoid a check which would have resulted if the plants had been pot-bound at time of planting out. Even with this precaution and care- ful hardening off before planting out they lost quite a few of the bottom leaves, but it did not interfere with the ripening of the fruit, several trusses of which were set on the plants while still in the pots. As to variety the most productive one we had was Sterling Castle, though the fruit of this was rather small. Lorillard was good, the fruit being larger. I chose these two varieties because I knew they were free setters, but I should think any good early variety would act all right. W. S. Croydon. PARSLEY. This is one vegetable that no one need be in any doubt about growing, as it always finds a ready sale, being univer- sally used by all sorts and conditions of people. The thrifty housewife would not consider her soup complete unless she used a few blades of parsley to flavor it, neither would the high-class chef con- sider many of the numerous creations of his fertile brain complete unless gar- nished by the same indispensable green : for him there is nothing just as good; it must be parsley and parsley only. And, 408 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Jantjary 21. 1904. this on the "q. t.," when the cook has been filling her hollow tooth with something that makes her breath smell suspii'ious, there is nothiiiR that will counteract the odor (juicker than the chewing of a blade of parsley. These and many other uses to which parsley can be put combine to create a demand that must be supplied. To supply this demand in winter re- quires a little forethought, as parsley is somewhat slow in the earlier stages of its growth. When sown in spring in the open ground it does not require so long to attain sulBeient size to be fit for use, but during fall and winter it takes about four months from seed to produce fully matured leaves. The best time to sow for winter use is during the month of July. Any garden spot, where the soil is fairly good, will suit. The soil should be forked over and well pulver- ized, the surface being smoothly raked. Sow rather thinly in shallow drills about one foot apart. Firm the soil well over the seeds and if the soil be dry give a good watering. All the attention need- ed until time to take indoors will be to keep clear of weeds and water occa- sionally if dry weather prevails. Xo thinning should be necessary unless the seeds,. have been sown too. thickly. About tie middle of CUrtober is a good time to lift the plants, before dan- ger of hard frost. A little frost will not do them any harm but the less they get the fresher they will be. When crowded for space we have often kept the plants protected by covering with boards at night until after the chrysan- themums were cleared from the benches. Lift with a spade in clumps and set about the same distance apart as they were outside. Pack moderately firm in the benches, give a good watering and shade for a day or two until they have taken to their new 'quarters. Once well established an occasional watering with liquid manure or a top-dressing of sheep manure will help to push the growth along. Parsley will not stand hard forcing. A night temperature of from 40 to 45 de- grees is quite high enough, a higher tem- perature only induces soft growth, with leaves of thin texture and is almost sure to bring on attacks of aphis. These will sometimes put in their appearance, even at a low temperature, but a few tobacco stems spread between the rows and re- newed occasionally will prevent any trouble from this source. Tobacco pow- der should never be used, as the forma- tion of the leaves makes it very hard to wash off and tobacco is not a desirable flavor for any kind of soup. If it is intended to keep up the supply untU the outdoor article is ready it can be dong in two ways. Either sow seeds in cold frames about the end of July and win- ter over for spring use or sow in flats about November and make a fresh plan- tation in the benches when the plants are large enough. The plants from which the winter supply has been picked are apt to run to seed by about the be- ginning of April, so they can be dis- pensed with then and the supply pro- cured from the younger stock or from the frames. It is short sighted policy to pick too closely at any one time. If the plants are hard cut back growth will be stunted and both quantity and quality considerablv reduced. W. S. Crotdox. VIOLETS. Seasonable Notes. Well, if the holiday season lately past is not a lesson to the violet grower, then I think he will never learn wisdom by experience, for, according to all reports, both as to the quantities picked and the prices received for same, the violet busi- ness is very greatly overdone, and one would well think twice (or three times) before increasing his glass devoted to violets, or starting to grow them, unless for his own trade, where the demand is assured and for which he now has to buy. The day is past when the grower should hold all he can for these special days. Far better is it to send in a rather The Moore, Hentz & Nash Silver Cup. (Prt'eeoted to Joseph RupieUa- foreiuan for L. A. Noe. Maillson. N. J. atClubMeeurs Jaauaiy 13.) •heavy supply for a week or two previous, for, like this year, the price is likely to be better then than on the day itself. This, of course, has reference to the grower consigning to a wholesale market. Have you been over your houses now since you finished your holiday picking, cleaning up all the old leaves, looking after the sow bugs, snails, aphis, etc.? If not, do not neglect it, as an ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure. Look the borders over carefully, pull out and burn any questionable plants, any that are' not right healthy and that did not yield a good crop of flowers for the holi- days, as you do not wish to propagate from any such plants. If you fail to do this now they will soon be starting with their spring growth, and the first thing you know, when you go to making cut- tings, you may not be able to tell these poor plants from the others ; in fact, they frequently make the larger growth and tlie greater quantity of cuttings. It will soon be time to take cuttings, and here, again, if you wisli nice healthy stock, do not make the mistake of think- ing any old sand will do for this that you have used for the past year or so. Have nice, fresh, clean sand that has never before been used and is not full of germs and a good propagating place for disease. Keep your temperature as nearly even as is possible. Of course it takes a lit- tle extra care this season, when the thermometer outdoors goes from 22 de- grees below zero to 32 above in perhaps twenty-four hours' time, but this is one of the violet grower's pleasant experi- ences. While we are having no bright, clear days as yet, still we should have them before long, and then you will find that the watering may be done a little oftener, also a little more heavily, as a good bright sun will use up water fast, especially when the ventilators are open. To keep your violets of good size and good color watch your ventilators and heating pipes closely, for if you do not and let the stock get too warm you will soon run the plants out and get off crop, lose color and stem, etc., and of course you wish to hold till Easter is over, when you have no further use for them. R..E. Shuphelt. MADISON, N. J. The annual smoker of the ilorris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society was held on Wednesday evening. Janu- ary 13, and passed off with the usual great succ€ss. A short business session was first held, when the newly elected officers took their stations, as follows: President, Wm. JIcAIillan; vice-president, M. AIcNulty; treasurer, Wm. Charlton; secretary, Samutl Bedstone. The re- port of the treasurer showed that all bills were paid and that a balance of over $500 remains in the treasury, an encour- aging condition of finance compared with many societies operating in a larger cir- cle. During the business session ilr. Herrington presented the silver cup of Messrs. Moore, Hentz & Nash to the for- tunate winner, J. F. Eusicka. In ex- planation of this award it should be stated that for several years the firm above mentioned has made it its busi- ness to award silver medals to the actual growers of the first prize exhibits of roses and chrysanthemums at the an- nual exhibition. This is, so far as I know, the only prize in the country that is given solely as an encouragement to the ■ ' jiian behind the gun, ' ' and Messrs. Moore, Hentz & Kash deserve the praise that is so frequently given them for this kindly action. This year Mr. Eusicka was fortunate enough to win three out of the four medals, and consequently it was decided to buy him a silver cup suit- ably engraved as a fitting memento of the occasion. The other medal, for the chrysanthemums, was won by Samuel Bedstone, the genial secretary, who also won it last year. Mr. Herrington also made a pre.sentation to J. Austin Shaw, the representative of the Beview, which on investigation proved to be an im- mense bunch of celery. Thereby hangs a tale, but as SipUug remarks, "that's another story," The evening was wretched and the out- of-town attendance, as might be ex- pected, rather slim on that account, but those who elid attend were well repaid. The claret punch, for which this club is famous, was in evidence, brewed by A. Herrington and C. H. Totty, and ru- mor has it that some of the boys are not yet down to normal conditions. The entertainers were fine anel the only thing to be regretted was the fact that Mr. Duekham, always a shining light at this event, was on this occasion confined to his bed with sickness. B. B.

In addition to the open flowers a number of buds were used, and these added ma- terially to the beauty of the arrange- ment, though they do not show very plainly in the photograijli. Callas are generally considered very difficult to ar- range gracefully, but this difficulty can be overcome by the use of buds and foliage. And there is no foliage — coarse though it be — that will combine so ef- fectively with these flowers as that with which they are associated on the plant. The foliage of the calla lasts quite as well as the flowers if the stems have been stood in water for a few hours previous to using. In response to a discriminating ile- mand on the part of the public foliage is being more and more freely used in fioral combinations as well as in decora- tions, and the wise florist will proride a supply of suitable material, and will not confine himself to ferns, smila.\ and asparagus. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOOETY. The Massacluisctts Horticultural So- ciety has invited the Chrysanthemum So- ciety of America to hold its next annual convention and exhibition in Horticul- tural Hall, in Boston, November 3 to (i, 1904. in coniunction with the annual exhibition of that society. This invita- tion has been unanimously accepted by the executive board of the Chrysanthe- mum Society. An invitation was also received from the American Institute to repeat the success of last fall, in Xew York, and although the officers and executive com- mittee fully appreciate the kindness of the American Institute in extending this invitation, they feel that it will be for the good of the society to change the location every yfar, if possible. We are expecting next November the greatest show ever held, and every effort will be put forth to accomplish this re- sult. Fred H. Lemon, See 'v. THE USE OF CYANIDE. In an article on the use of hydrocyanic acid gas for fumigating, W. S. gives, page 318, issue for January 7, the fol- lowing formula and directions: 1 quart sulphuric acid. 1 quart water. .5 ounces cyanide of potassium. Mix the acid and water in a two-gallon butter jar. When your jars are all in place walk along and drop in the five- ounce parcels of c.yanide. Don 't lin- ger over the jar, because the fumes are not healthy for anything that has lungs. The above quantities are for 2,000 cubic feet of air space in the house. Keep the house closed all night. Commenting on this Albert F. Woods, pathologist of the I'. S. Department of Agriculture, writes : In houses with not more than two paths or where not more than two or three sets of jars, two or three in each set, are required, it is possible to put the cyanide in the jars in the manner described. The dose for each jar should be carefully wrapped, however, in two thicknesses of ordinary newspaper, or may be put in a small paper sack. It takes the acid about half a minute to eat through the paper and attack the A Funeral Bunch of Callas With Their Own Foliage. potassium cyanide. If one operator works on each line of jars and they will start at the same end of the house and come out at the other end this method may be safely used. There seems to be an implication in the statement of W. S. that he is not much afraid of this gas. He says: "There seems to be a dread of this gas with many people, and on the part of some whose opinion and experience I am bound to respect." The dread of the gas exhibited by all people who know its qualities is well justified. It is perhaps the most poisonous gas known and causes death almost as quickly as electrocution. It is quite true that the inhalation of a very small quantity of it may do no serious harm, but, like all other poisons, it must be used with the greatest caution, and carelessness on the part of an operator is not justified. It is perfectly safe to use the gas if the proper precautions are followed, but no laxity in observing the strictest precau- tions should be allowed. I do not mean by this that it is not safe to drop cy- anide into the jars by hand if the cy- anide is carefully wrapped and if the operators all start at one end of the house and work toward the other, care laeing taken that no operator is cut off by drojjping the cyanide into a jar be- tween the operator and the exit. Of course, it might be possible in such case for the operator to hold his breath and get out, but if he did not think to hold his breath he would probably draw his last one very quickly. Five ounces of cvanide of potassium to 2,000 cubic feet is about half the strength usually recommended for dou- ble violets, but we do not recommend leaving the gas in the house for longer than thirty minutes. Of course a weaker dose may be left in longer without seri- ous injury if the house is not very tight, but there is always danger of a certain amount of moisture collecting on the leaves of plants as the temperature falls, and any moisture forming on the foUage of any plant exposed to this gas will cause "the portion of the leaf having the moisture on it to be injured. The field of use for hydrocyanic acid gas in green- house fumigation has been barely opened and it is such tests as W. S. has been making which gradually widen its useful- 410 The Weekly Florists' Review. January 21. 1904. ness. We have been conservative in the recommendation of this gas except under conditions and for crops vvliere we feel that its useiulness has been amply dem- onstrated, and -wliere used according to directions there is no danger of serious injury to the crop. TROUBLE WITH VALLEY. When you told how to handle valley jiips as they are imported, you said that if they were dry to dip them in water and then pack in sand or moss. Xow I had 12,000 valley pips that I packed with- out dipping and they are all right. But I had 5.000 come two weeks later and, as I thought they were a little dry, [ dipped them and every one of them rot when they are brought in. Can you tell me the cause? Would they be any bet- ter to let thtm go till spring and then use them? J. -T. L. There must be some other cause than the dipping to account for all these pii>s rotting. As it was this pen that recouV- mended the dipping, I did not intend to imply a soaking: just dipped a moment to wet the roots before packing away in soil if they were dry, and if that is all that was "done it is impossible that it could in the least injure the pips. Tf not protected from rains and a wet, rainy time occurs, the pips are often in- jured. The lily of the valley is one of the hardiest of all the beautiful flow- ers we force, yet if exposed to a sudden severe freeze ' and then a quick thaw, they will be greatly injured, as many hardy plants will be. If" they are soft and rot when brought in, it is not likely they will improve with age, but as they are not taking up -valuable space leave them for April forcing. We have been receiving weekly.:, all summer a few hundred valley pips from an eastern firm. Scarcely one per cent failed to give us a fine spike. It was a most satisfactory arrangement. About December 1 we received 1.000 for our Christmas batch and on unpacking them we found the pips about of the con- sistency that a Teutonic epicure likes his Liiiiburger cheese. The cause we do not know. The stock was not hurt in transit. Perhaps the cold storage house was let down suddenly to a very low temperature, but more likely the acci- dent occurred during the time after they left the cold room and before they were packed. W. S. THE READERS' CORNER. Art in Floral Designing. Editor Eeview: In the columns of your really inspiring paper I have read with pleasure the masterly articles of Miss Gertrude Blair. Without donbt we who "make up" flowers for a living, dull the keen edge of our artistic per- ception in studying the individual de- sires of our patrons, but is this not one of the most essential features of "floral designing"? For if we are not success- ful in this, will we be successful in any way long? Most of us, in all probability after dinner, or in the cafe chantaiit. like to allow our imagination to fashion misty sprays and garlands as the smoke floats upward, but behind our counters in the morning when our pipe is out we will find ourselves at the same metaphysical study of what our patron imagines she wants, and how much we can safely make her pay for it; and if she is Ger- man and an old flower buyer we will probably not forget to put on lots of tin foil and make it about as we did ten years ago. Alfred Donaghue, Jr. Greenhouse Heating. In your issue of DeciMiilier l!4 appears au article by William Scott ou hot wa- ter heating and in it Mr. Scott raises several points that are at variance with the ideas held by your humble servant, and I should feel much obliged if Mr. Scott would go further into the matter with me. In the first i)lace he seems to main- tain that the only power which induces circulation in the system is that of gravitation in the returns. How about the water becoming lighter under the influence of heat and thus rising to the hiirhest point? Surely this is as import- ant a factor as the gravitation back to the boiler. And yet he seems to take some account of this force, for, iu speak- ing of the uphill system, he mentions that the water being cooler at ninety feet from the boiler, presses back on the lighter water, thus impeding circu- lation. And now to the point that causes nie to rush madly in where angels fear to tread. This perpendicular drop. A col- umn of w-ater thirty feet high and one inch square weighs about fourteen pounds. If the column be perpendicular the pressure indicated is as given. The same pressure will be shown if the col- umn be placed at any angle so long ::s the thirty feet head is maintained, al- though the volume of water may be in- creased manifold. For purposes of ar- gument we will eliminate friction. This primary law of hydrostatics is illus- trated in hydraulic mining. Water is brought miles in pipes usually at a very small grade, but the pressure is there just the same. This being so, how can a perpendicular drop in the return close to the boiler be any better than a grad- ual fall from the highest point? And how can the back pressure that Mr. Scott mentions as existing in the up- hill system, when a rise of two feet to the 100 is maintained, be less than when a rise is straight up from the boiler and then only two inches to the lOO feet used in the pipe run? The same elevation is attained in both cases and therefore the same pressure exists. Tlie route that Mr. Scott recommends in the longer course for the water to travel and consequently it will be cooler. It must be distinctly under- stood that these remarks of mine ap- jily solely to circulation and must not 1)6 confounded with arrangement of pipes for economic heating. The over-head flow that Mr. Scott so summarily dismisses is iu my opinion not always to be foregone. Of course a great portion of the heat radiated from it is wasted, but if you happen to have a system in which the circulation is poor you can often remedy the evil bv arranging an overhead flow. Low- ering the boiler would be better, but the expense would be greatly in favor of the overhead flow. Twenty-five years ago my first boss advised me to study heating. "My boy," said he, "fortunes are made and lo.st in the stoke-hole. ' ' Since then I have had to do with many systems, some good, some bad. some fearfully and wonderfully constructed. I once handled a boiler which from a 2-inc)i delivery fed four 4-inch flows, and the water in the same number of returns came back to the boiler through a 2-foot length of 2-inch pipe. The result can be imagined. In my experience, provided you have a good rise, a sufficient capac- ity in the main flow and return and u boiler of ample power, it matters little which method you adopt, uphill, down- hill or level. 'Edw. Alex. Wallace. ORANGE, N. J. At Orange on Friday evening the year- ly banquet brought together a large num- ber of the members of the New .Jer- sey Floricultural Society. Visitors were not numerous, apart from Messrs. Mc- Millan, Totty and Redstone, of Madison, and the writer. Letters of regret were read from Messrs. O'Mara, Hcrrington and Leonard Barron. A fine floral exhibit graced the banquet table. Vases of mag- nificent carnations were contributed by President George Smith, John Hays, Mal- colm Macrorie, Peter Duif and Mr. Kindsgrab, also a fine dendrobium by W. A. Manda and a vase of euphorbia. At the regular meeting the certificates were distributed to the successful com- petitors of the year, and further com- petitions for cups and medals were an- nounced open during 1904 to members of any horticultural society. Jos. Da- vis was entrusted with the installation of the new oflicers and did the work gracefully. The popular George Smith was re-elected president, a well won honor ; Mr. Kindsgrab, vice-president : ilr. Bennett, secretary, and Malcolm Macrorie, as usual, treasurer. The so- ciety is nearing the 100 mark in mem- bership, and ought to reach it in 1904. The four generous associate members of the society will present silver cups, as in 1903, for general competition. After the banquet speeches and songs continued until the wee sma' hours. When I left. Peter Duflf had just fin- ished a melody and John Hays' silver tongue was warbling something about the memories of other days. The opening address by President Smith was a revela- tion, fullof eloquence, poetry and pater- nal advice, in which he characterized gardening as "the middle ground be- tween God and man, the playground of the soul, the nearest profession to the divine. ' ' Dr. Kitchen was in a story-telling mood and kept the company in a roar through- out his" interesting response, as he toasted the press, the pulpit and the petticoats. Mr. McMillan responded to the toast of the Jlorris I/'ounty Society, of which he is president, and was ably seconded by Mr. Totty and Mr. Redstone, of the same society. Mr. Totty discoursed elo- epiently on the value of co-operation. W^. A. Manda gave one of his prac- tical and advisory addresses and Mr. Davis spoke very entertainingly. Mr. Campbell and Robert McCarty, ex-presi- dent, spoke briefly, and the songs of Messrs. Duflf and Hays were still ringing in my ears as the whistle of ' ' the last train" sounded the close of a very pleas- ant evening to the lone New York press representative. J. Austin Shaw.. Syracuse, N. Y. — A petition in invol- untary bankruptcy has been filed against Henry Morris, and Charles A. King named as receiver. No schedule of assets and liabilities has been given out. Januaby 21. 1304. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 411 NEW YORK. The Market. The market seems to have steadied at the quotations given last week and the bottom doubtless has been seen for the winter season. From now until Lent there sliould be a gradual improvement, and there is little danger of the utterly abnormal conditions that have prevailed since the New Year. It has been Lent for the growers and wholesalers for more than forty days. While the rest of the world is in mourning for their sins let us hope the florists may rejoice. They certainly deserve to and their sins have surely been atoned for. On Saturday there was a tendency to improve in the special Beauty market. As high as 35 cents was reached by a few of them, though many were cleared out at 25 cents. Lower grades remained quiet, and the short stems were having a hard time of it, and many were unsal- able. Bridesmaids hold their own al- ways, good ones, and are the first to feel the upward movement. The best stock found a ready sale at a higher price as the week closed, and the present week with its balls, its notable weddings and its society show in the automobile line should be about the best of the uew year to date. Fine Liberties have held quite as high a value as Beauties lately. The carna- tion market has been in the dumps in more ways than one. The "dump'' has engulfel thousands of the common ones, while the fancy and novelty grades have lost about half their prestige. Even or- chids have been too plentiful for the de- mand and prices have fallen. Tulips, narcissi and hyacinths are abundant, sweet peas also and mignonette. The latter is this season more abundant and worth less than ever before. Violets are swayed by the ebb and flow of demand. In supply there is always an abundance ; in quality they are unsurpassed. But the prices are a nightmare and manv boxes that go down the line come back unopened. It's a good thing "hope springs eternal in the human breast.'' Various Items. The Young Arion ball last Friday evening was decorated from basement to roof by Hanft Bros., and in addition to azaleas, lilacs, poinsettias and other flowering plants, immense quantities of laurel, hemlock and needle pines were used and twenty cases of wild smilax. The severe weather continues to add to its victims. William Duckham, of Madi- son, has been very ill with an abscess of the ear. J. W. Bebus, of Wm. Elliott & Sons, has just recovered from a ten days' siege with grippe. John N. May. of Summit, has been confined to the house for a month and convalesces slowly. W. J. Elliott leaves next week for his annual trip to Bermuda. Arthur Herrington, president of the- Chrysanthemum Society, sails on the Lu- cania next Saturday for England, ming- ling business with pleasure. Weeber & Don report particularly gra- tifying results from their catalogue and all the wholesale houses have dissemin- ated handsomer catalogues than usual this year in evident anticipation of a continuance of the good times of 1903. There is a rumor concerning the con- templated plunge of a well-known bach- elor into the seething sea of matrimony; a seedsman who has long held out against the attractiveness of the gentler sex. Too much gas has caused a severe loss in the greenhouses of Geo. M. Stumpp, the Fifth avenue florist. The slim attendance at the Flatbush alleys on Thursday is partially accounted for by the western trip of Paul Daille- douze among the western carnationists and the fatherly solicitude of Carl Woer- ner, whose wife presented him with an- other florist, the boy being his first born and none of Carl 's hats large enough to venture out in the freezing weather. Wm. Fogarty also has had a visit from the stork. This also was a boy. Our old friend James Dean maintains his place in the estimation of his neigh- bors, having just been honored with the presidency of the Freeport, L. I., Club for the third consecutive year. Lewis Collins, secretary of the former Brooklyn Tree Planting Society, died Saturday, January 9, aged 71. The next meeting of the Horticultural Society of New York at the American Institute, will be held the second Wednes- day in February, and will be devoted to the subject ' ' Orchids, ' ' and by a unan- imous vote it was decided to try the holding of meetings in the evenings in- stead of the afternoons with a view to an enlarged attendance. At the Janu- ary meeting, the president had on ex- hibition superb samples of cucumbers, cauliflower, tomatoes, radishes and water- cress. The day was stormy and disagree- able and the attendance light, but the program was very interesting and in- structive. Henry A. Siebrecht discoursed on ornamental trees, shrubs and plants, giving a practical lecture involving every variety of desirable tree and shrub utilized in American horticulture. T. Withers followed in an interesting ad- dress on "Our Native Trees in Land- scape, ' ' evidencing a thorough, practical knowledge of his subject. The ' ' smoker ' ' at Madison last Wednesday evening was well attended. Its details will doubtless be covered by your regular correspondent. The vaude- ville entertainment was excellent. The chicken, celery and punch of 1904 "vint- age. ' ' and the formal meeting of the so- ciety showed a most prosperous condi- tion of affairs. The presentation of the Moore, Hentz & Nash silver cup to J. F. Eusicka, rose grower for L. A. Noe, of Madison, was a pleasing feature. Slinn & Hughes report a growing de- mand for Amaze, Jerome Suydam's fine red carnation, which they say has brought :fo per 100 during the season. Mr. Slinn spent last Sunday with the violet growers of Ehinebeek. Bonnot Bros., of the Exchange, are handling daily some very fine Golden Gates, which rose is a specialty with them. .Jos. Millang, the Beauty king, saj-s American Beauties will not touch lower prices again this season and that a bet- ter business from now on in all lines is confidently anticipated. Joseph and Frank Millang had an all-night fire fight Sunday evening at Bayside. where they reside, and are prominent members of the fire department. Joe says he carried a piano out himself, but rumor says it was the pianist that he saved. Mr. Krashover says he is hanelling an average of 150 cases of wild smilax weekly, and that the demand for all kinds of decorative gre'en goods is quite up to last season. At the next meeting of the New York Florists' Club, February 8, it has been decided by the executive committee to hold a carnation exhibition, to which an invitation to all carnation growers is cordially extended. The ladies also are invited and a most interesting evening is confidently anticipated. The outing committee met at President Traendly 's ofiice on Monday evening and Chas. Sehenck was appointed treasurer and Mr. Shaw, secretary. Mr. Elliott, the chairman, was directed to engage the boat and grove utilized last year for the most desirable day .possibly the last week in June. A splendid attendance and much en- thusiasm materialized at the first meet- ing of the New York Bowling Club, Monday evening at the new alleys, Twen- ty-third street and Tenth avenue. Cap- tain Young has called a meeting for 7:30 sharp n".xt week Monady, when ofii cers will be appointed and all arrange- ments as to prizes, match games and other interesting features will be then consummated. The bowlers were a little nervous, as the appended records indi- eatc. Another week of practice and there will be a different story. Here are the best games of each participant: Lang 158 169 1S4 169 Elliott 109 129 144 157 Craw 130 94 OS HatEiier 122 177 141 I'u Siebrecht 191 15.S 145 12.S Traendly 1.34 1,36 141 Gibbs 137 158 15(1 145 Shaw 140 121 108 122 Nugent 70 6.S 76 84 Wallace 112 106 Butterfleld 155 140 Young 139 Ford 126 Thirteen members, altogether, a lucky number. The alleys are very satisfac- tory. A spirit of fraternity and good will was prevalent and it was midnight before the last of the enthusiasts de- parted. Sister clubs will be heartily wel- comed and every effort made to have the weekly meeting helpful and harmonious. A larger attendance next Monday is re- quested. At least twenty regulars are expected and there is ample accommoda- tion for all. J. Austin Shaw. CHICAGO. The Market, Trade has pursued the even tenor of its way this week, with few features out of the common. Beginning last Saturday there was a little stiffening in values, but not enough to count for much. Beauties are not so plentiful as a few weeks ago and quality has de- teriorated, particularly in the shorter lengths. Tea roses are now pretty well off crop and good stock commands ready sale at fair prices, but most of it goes out on shipping orders, for local busi- ness is still very quiet. There are plenty of carnations but the market is in better shape than a week ago, when average returns to the growers were the lowest in a long time. But still very good stock is to be had at $20 per 1000. White sells best. Violets have not bene- fited by the slight improvement which has taken place, even though receipts are reduced. Some of the eastern grow- ers who found this market profitable around Christmas have stopped shipping, but this does not seem to help the sale of the locally grown Campbells, for after a taste of high life in the form 412 The Weekly Florists' Review. Jaxlary -21. 1!104. of good ilarie Louise the buyers will not be content with the pale variety; but for that matter there are still plenty of the eastern violets about. Bulb stock is shaiiug tlie depression in the violet market. The overstock of Paper Whites continues and there are tales of some very low sales in quan- tity, sales at prices which will not re- pay the cost of the bulbs. Romans do a little better. Daffodils sell fairly well, but tulips do not seem to take hold. Not many eallas are coming in and they generally sell well. Easter lilies are seen in most of the houses, but in most cases the quality is poor and the sale slow. Freesias are in. There is a good sale for green goods ; nearly every shipping order calls for something in this line. Sprays of As- paragus phimosus seem to be the most popular item, but strings are also going well. Ferns are up to $2.50 per 1000. Club Meeting. On Saturday evening the Chicago Florists' Club went proselyting to Rose HUl. It was the tirst of the series of meetings planned for the several sections of the city and was successful in all its features. The attendance was very large and a considerable number of new names were added to the raembershiii roll. Paul Dailledouze, of Flatbush, N. y., was a visitor and gave the club the benefit of what he has seen in his trips among the growers. As there are few better posted men in the trade, what he said of the new carnations should make the evening a very profitable one for many a grower present. Meetings of similar character will shortly be held on the south side, at the Drexel cafe, Thirty-ninth and Cottage Grove avenue ; on the northwest side, at Metropolitan hall, 856 North Cali- fornia avenue, and on the west side, dates to be announced later. The club held its regular meeting last night at Handel hall. It was the first allied trades meeting and pipe, fittings, valves,' glass, paints and putty were named for discussion. Various Notes. Frank Garland will vacate his present stand May 1. He has not yet decided whether to go up stairs in the same building or to rent a couple of tables across the street. The rooted cutting specialists say trade is opening rather slow. The novel- ties are selling well, but it is reported there is no rush for the varieties out of the same seed pod as Enchantress. The craft regrets to bear of the death of Hugh McMichael, of Wilmette, which occurred last week, after a brief illness with pneumonia. He was in the prime of life and a good grower. For a time he was foreman for Paul Kreis- mann at the Morton Grove Greenhouses and went from there to Weiland & Risch, where he was foreman until he secured the Nicholas Miller place of about 12,000 feet of glass at Wilmette. buying the stock and making a very favorable lease on the houses. He was doing well. In- terment was at Rose Hill on Sundav. Mrs. McMichael will not undertake to continue the business longer than is necessary to find a purchaser for the stock and lease. J. A. Budlong is confined to his bed, having a tough time with rheumatism. It seems strange that one as vigoroiis as he should be laid up with this disease. E. F. Winterson is getting in some fine blooms of W. N. Rudd's Phyllis car- nation and says his out of town buyers prefer it to Enchantress as it is a much better traveler. L. Coatsworth says coal is going down. On Tuesday he bought five cars at 55 cents a ton less than he paiil for the same grade last August. A. L. Randall has been having a bad time this week with neuralgia in his jaws. Mrs. A. L. Vaughan and little daugh- ter expect to leave in a few days for a visit with relatives at Collinston, La. O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett are at Hotel La Pintoresca, Pasadena, Cal. Some of the Greek sidt^waiK merchants some time since applied for an injunc- tion restraining the city from interfering with them in the concluct of their busi- ness on the streets. On January 14 the Appellate court affirmed the Circuit court decree upholding the citv 's author-' ity- ST. LOUIS. The Market. The florists' trafle has now entered upon the regular social season, but from the reports of the ditt'ereut retailers the season will not be a lively one, as the orders booked aheael are not for the usual elaborate affairs of a year ago. This kind of work should be quite plen- tiful from now until Lent sets in. The ciit flower trade during the past week showed very little improvement. Transient trade is very quiet, but fun- eral work seems plentiful and white are about the only flowers in demand at the wholesale houses. The weather is still fine with us, with ple>nty of sunshine to make cut flowers of all kinds plentiful. Violets and carnations especially have suffered by the slow demand. Roses are not over-plentiful, especially white. Plenty of Bridesmaids are to be had. Good long Beauties are very scarce in this market, but we are fairly well sup- plied with short stock. Small Meteor and Liberty are also plentiful. Bulb stock is still over-crowding the market, Romans and Paper Whites. Val- ley, too, is moving slowly. Callas are more plentiful, with Harrisii lilies still absent. Tulips and freesias are coming along slowly. Shipping trade in cut flowers is slow at the wholesale houses, but supplies and wire work are in good demand. Florets' Club Meeting. The Florists' (Jkil> held another of those large and enthusiastic meetings last Thursday afternooon, in the Odd Fellows' building. The large attend- ance was attracted by the exhibition of new carnations, essays and other impor- tant matters. The Chicago Carnation Co., of .loUet, III., staged a large and beautiful vase of their new scarlet carnation. Crusa- der, which attracted a great deal of at- tention. F. M. Ellis showed a number of varieties from Thompson, of Joliet. C. A. Kuehn staged a large vase of In- dianapolis from Baur & Smith. These received a great deal of attention from the carnation growers present. The meeting opened at 2 p. m. with all of the oiBcers present except Vice- president Winter, who was in Chicago at the time. Three applications for membership were receiveil. They were from Hugo Gross and John R. Stein- icke, of Kirkwood, and E. Rotenhoefer. of St. Louis. Two members were elect- ed to membership, F. W. Brueuig anel Henry Felter. With these the member- ship is now seventy and only thirty more are needed to make up the hundred. F. C. W'eber was elected a trustee: The trustees were instructed to prepare an entertainment next month for the mem- bers and their families. Messrs. Am- mann, Fillmore and Koenig were ap- I)ointed a committee to draw up resolu- tions on the death of Mrs. Herzog. Walter Gilles, of the Missouri Botan- ical Garden, read an essay on ferns, which was well received by the members and was given a vote of thanks. The etiscussion on propagating roses, lead by F. J. Fillmore, was very interesting. Those who participated in the discussion were Messrs. Ammann, Dunford ane] Guy, who did not agree with Mr. Fill- more in using blooming wood for cut- tings, holding out for the blind wood. The president appointed Messrs. Steidle, Ude and Ounford to make a re- port on the carnations on exhibition, which was as follows: Aelonis, very fine red ; Harry Fenn, improvement on Roose- velt; Enchantress, very fine; Nelson Fisher, good carnation, better stem than Mrs. Lawson; Gov. Wolcott, best white seen ; Hanna Hobart, good, large flow- ers, weak stem; Crusader, very fine blooms, with long stems ; Indianapolis, very fine pink, large flowers with good, long stems. The next meeting of the club, Feb- ruary 11, will be our annual carnation meeting. Prizes of .$5, .$.3 and $2 are offered for the best v; -c^ of carnations, competition open only t ) local growers. Growers of n^w carnations are requested to make exldbits for the benefit of our carnation growers. At this meeting F. .1. Fillmore will read an essay on "Car- nation Growing." and E, W. Guy, of Belleville, will lead a discussion on pro- pagating carnations. Various Notes. W'. S. Lemar, late keeper of Forest park, one of the best men for a place of that kind, is now heael of the land- scape department at the World 's Fair grounds. He^nry Johann, of Colliusville; J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville ; E. W. Guy and A. G. Fehr. of Belleville, 111.; A. .Tablonsky, of Wellston, ilo. ; ' J. W. Dunford, of Clayton; John Steidle, of Central; W. J. Pilcher and F. W. Ude, •Ir., of Kirkwood, were the out-of-town members who atteueled the club meeting last Thursday afternoon. The Mtasic Hall, Coliseum and east nave in the Exposition building have been engaged by the committee in which to hold the next meeting and trade ex- hibition of the Societv of American Florists, August 16 to" 19, 1904, sub- ject to the approval of the executive committee, which meets here in March. The committee which will have charge of entertaining the executive conmiittee is hard at work perfecting arrange- ments. A committee composed of F. C. Weber, Otto Koenig, F. ,T. Ammann, Fred Mein- hardt, Theo. Miller, Emil Schray and .1. J. Beneke will meet this week Thurs- day at Mr. Weber's store to confer with J. H. Haelkinson, superintendent of flor- iculture, World 's Fair, in regard to flower shows to he held at the fair January 21. 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review. 413 groiiiuls during the season, similar to those held during the Pan-Amerieau at Buffalo. The Eiesseu Floral Company is mak- ing a fine show in the Broadway store windows. The eompany reports plenty of funeral work sini-e the holidays, J. W. Duuford, of the St. Louis Car- nation Co., reports that they are having great success with their sale of rooted cuttings. The Ellison Floral Co., at Grand and Olive streets, has very attractive win- dows in the new quarters and is making splendid displays for the public. C. Young & Sons Co. is making prep- arations for the spring seed trade. They do a large sliipping business in plants, seeds and bulbs during the season. John W. Kunz, formerly in the retail business here, liut now" in the employ of Uncle Sam, has a team of bowlers com- posed of letter carriers and has sent a challenge to the florist bowlers for a match game to be played the latter part of this month, three games to be rolled on the florists ' alleys and three on the postoflioe alleys. These games promise to be very exciting. Visitors: — Charles F. Meyer, New York; W. J. Hussey, Dayton, O. ; J. B. O 'Neil, Chicago. Bowline. The two teams got at each other again Monda.v night, this time team No. 2 win- ning two out of three games played, by close scores. Carl Beyer and A. Y.

The latter variety was in good shape for the holidays and although not a true red filled in a big gap and sold well. This variety is far prefer- able to Apollo in color and when prop- erly handled not only sells well but lasts a long time in flower. Lilies are likely to be a success this season. Verj' little if any disease is seen and I noticed the same conditions in this valuable flower at Colorado Springs on a recent trip to that city taken by a few bowling aspirants who went down there for a little recreation and got far more than they bargained for. But if fools will occasionally en- ter where wise men know enough to keep out, they must take their medicine without a murmur. One of the consola- tions connected with the trip is the hos- pitality of the fraternity in that beauti- ful city. The other consolation is that retaliation is sweet to some and a chance to get even is to be given in the near future. The Scott Floral Co. has been busy since New Year's renovating the old store of the Park Floral Company, to which they moved on New Year's day. The light coloring used throughout the store shows off stock of all character to better advantage. Phil Scott and Ed Reynolds, who comprise the firm, are both old storemen and are pretty well acquainted with the trade here. Phil, although a scion of the Great Scott, may not be as great an expounder of the sci- ence of geology as is his progenitor, but is, I think, in the art of blending color in flowers and making a little go a long ways, well up to any other member of the Scott family.

Trade is v;iriablo but quite satisfac- tory in general. With plenty of sunshine there has been a good supply of stock, the only noticeable shortage being Beau- ties and other red roses. Violets are be- coming more plentiful and bulbous stock has made its appearance. Hyacinths and tulips in made-up baskets are attractive sellers, while Trumpet Majors give the tirst touch of spring to their surround- ings with their bright yellow colors. Funeral flowers have constituted a large percentage of sales. Society circles seem very quiet this winter. Country trade keeps up remarkably well, whicli shows that our country cousins have money for luxuries as well as necessities. With big crops and all farm produce bringing a good price, prosperity seems assured. Notes. W. G. Schucht is calling on the trade this week in the interest of C. C. Poll- worth Co., Milwaukee. E. H. Vick, rep- resenting Win. Hageniann & Co.. and Mr. Schwake, with Chas. F. Jleyer, were also callers. A. S. Swanson has added one new house for roses, one small bulb house, and installed a new boiler, besides re- building two houses, giving him one of the largest plants in the city. He grows a great variety of plants, bulbs and flow- ers, probably a larger variety than any one in the state. Liberty on two-year- old roots is looking nicely and throwing long stiff stems, but three-year-old plants have not done well. American Belle has always done nicely here and Mr. Swanson considers it far ahead of Queen of Edgely. Chatenay is a superb variety. Its popularity, however, is lim- ited, as the buying public does not seem to ask for it. Prince of Naples is one of those rare kinds whose great beauty and worth have not become known. The rose is very large, rivaling the Beauty in size, of a light pink shade not unlike the old La France. The foliage is su- perb. The growth is very strong and it is a good bloomer. Mr. Swanson has always been an enthusiastic and success- ful bulb grower, forcing more varieties than any grower here. One house is planted to Spanish iris. A large number of lilies are grown for Easter. This seAson he is growing Harrisii exclusively. Many blooming plants are also grown. This place is superintended by himself. A down-town store is managed by Mrs. Swanson, while a half interest is main- tained in two other stores, one in Minne- apolis, managed by his brother, the other but recently opened in St. Paul and man- aged bv Giist Colberg.

Smith, representing Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. Oxiox sets are beginning to get a move on. Several of the jobbers are pushing ear lots forward. CoxsiDERiXG the pronounced sTiortage in cucumber seed the prices are remark- ably uniform in the spring catalogues. The cucumber and sweet corn prices in the D. M. Ferry & Co. retail catalogue are cited as good evidence of a shortage in those items. The one who thinks sweet corn is not scarce, also the one who thinks sweet corn is scarce, can easily pick out a seed catalogue to prove it. This is the season when a small urder written on a large order sheet is a dis- appointment, and quite at variance with the eternal fitness of things. The hustle to cover shortages of lieans and other staple seeds that is now epi- demic at the south will likely spread to other points as the planting season conies around. Curbie's Black Wax at $7 per bushel and .$10 per bushel for Wanhvell's, are the prices at which orders have been booked by wholesalers for immediate shipment during the week. Flaxseed prices are moving upward. May closing at $1.08 at Chicago Jaiiu ary li). Timothy is slow; country lots soid from $2.40 to $3.2.5. Clover seed easy, spot lots .$8.50 to $11, according to tjuality. It is safe, and perhaps it is good pol- icy as well, to (|uote the bushel price of sweet corn low where the greater propor- tion of the orders looked for are for quarts or less. This does not make the prices of those who are calleil upon to fill bushel orders look any more attract- ive, however. There has as yet been no adjustment of the loss on the Buckbee seed ware- house loss at Rockford many mouths ago. The proofs of loss claim $il8,(liU), while the insurance is $77,000. The under- writers' adjuster is insisting upon the cost value of the seeds, while Mr. Buck- lice uiaiutains that he is entitled to ap- jiraise them at market value at the time of the fire. Wm. S. Gilbre.\th, for fifteen years associated with the Illinois Seed Com- ]iany. of Chicago, and one year with the ,T. M. McCullough's Sons, Cincin- nati, is about to open up a new seed house in Indianapolis under the name of the William S. Gilbreath Seed Company. The concern will conduct a general grass and tieM seed, grain and storage busi- ness. W. T. Philipps, formerly president of the Henry Philipps Seed and Implement Co., Toledo, O., has sold his stock in the corporation to his brothers and has or- ganized a competing concern and opened as the W. T, Philipps Co., at o]9 ilouroe street. There are six brothers contin- uing with the old firm. Herman, Henry .1., Albert .!., Charles .1, S., Fred and August J. Ax authority on the sweet corn situ- ation says: There is a hitch at present between the farmers who grow sweet corn for the factories antl the cariners for whom they grow regarding the price that green corn shall be contracted at for the coming year. He thinks that as soon as a satisfactory rate can be agreed upon a boom will take place in seed sweet corn.

There is a bettor toue to the market this weok. Winlier has been with us in grim earnest, verifying so far the stormy times predicted for the next three months by the chap with the goose bone^ and shortening stock considerably. We have .-just entered on the good month preceding Ash Wednesday. The buyers show a keener interest in securing good stuff, which has steadied prices, with here and there a slight advance. Bulbous flowers are becoming more nu- merous, though perhaps that expression is slightly misleading. Julius Kohen & Son are sending in nice scarlet Due Van Tholl tulips. Freesia can also be seen if you look quick. Campernelles and Trumpet Majors, are also here. Brides and Maids are better stock now than at almost any time this season and have advanced in price. Callas are moving slowly. Dunn & Co. are handling some nice Princess of Wales violets. A Wedding of Interest. A wedding of great interest occurred on Tuesday last, when Miss Madeline Michell was married to Leo Niessen. The bride is the daughter of Fred J. Michell, vice-president and treasurer of the well known seed firm of Henry F. Michell Co. The bridegroom has' bv industry and ability established the splen- did cut flower house that bears his name. The happy couple have the best wishes of their many friends. A New Commission House. William Berger, the well-known florist of Germantown, has five sons engaged in different branches of our business. Three are still with him. Two other sons, John Berger, for fourteen years with his father, and Harry Berger, who has had nine years' experience in dif- ferent branches of floriculture, will on Monday, February 1, open a new com- mission house at 1220 Filbert street, un- der the name of Berger Brothers. The new firm will handle a general line of cut flowers. They are conveniently situ- ated, close to both terminals, and will have all facilities for handling business. The Best Profession. Secularly speaking there are three professions, law, medicine and floricul- ture. Of these the best is floriculture. The reasons for this bold assertion are two. First, no other profession appeals to and cultivates the finer instincts as does floriculture. It lacks the dryness of the other two, giving its students re- turns in pleasure as well as in profit. Our Ist and 2nd Quality TEA ROSES Many of our customers tell us are the equal or better than others sent out as higher grade. Then, you know they are "fresh " Sent out the same day they are cut. The prices are 3c and 5e tor these grades. HELLER BROS., i?o"rV^^I? NEW CASTLE, IND. Mention Th^ Rpvlew wbeo you write. Second, no other profession is considered so desirable for young men, by those who have achieved success in it, as floricul- ture. The successful lawyer thinks the law too difficult and uncertain for his son; four-fifths of the lawyers in this city, he will tell you, are not self-sup- porting. He will start his son in some- thing more promising. The successful doctor feels that it is unfair to ask his son to lead the hard, dog's life he has had to do, getting up at all hours of the night with never a minute he can call his own. The counsel and practice each can give count for nothing in their minds against the known difficulties. The florist, on the other hand, feels that his profession is a splendid one, the finest opening his son can have. The fact that flowers and plants are a lux- ury and the destruetibility of glass houses are obstacles, obstacles to be over- come. This may be startling, but the proof is at hand. One of our pioneer florists, Abram L. Pennock, has seven sons all in our ranks : Samuel S., the well-known whole- saler; J. Liddon, of the firm of Pen- nock Brothers;' C. and G. L., rose grow- ers; A. J., our valley king, and Herbert A. and Henry, both southern growers. Two sons of the late Hugh Graham, Hugh and William, are following their father's profession. Then there are Robert Craig & Son, .T. J. Habermehl'g Sons, Thomas Meehan's Sons, Joseph Kift & Son, Chas. Schott's Son, Joseph Bevis & Son, Julius Koehler & Son, Rob- ert Scott & Son, and many others. The year 1904 has brought another il- lustration of this fact. Robert Craw- ford, Jr., has taken his son, William W., into partnership under the firm name of Robert Crawford & Son. Mr. Crawford is very successful and the fact that he has taken one son in with him and put the other son, Harry, into the Philadel- phia Carnation Company, will go a long Ferns A Sue lot of PIEKSONI FERN.S In'i ands-in. pots. ready for a shift: also, ."i, e.. 7, S and lU-lnch, all at low prices.

An Outsider's Query. One of the Beauty growers recently re- ceived a letter from a friend, which read as follows : "I had occasion to buy a few flowers just before Christmas and learned that thp price was $2.5 a dozen. What will you do with aU the money y6u are making?" This is rather a difficult question to answer off-hand; at least the grower who received the let- ter thought so. Perhaps William Scott will be able to elucidate. Phil. C. W. Ward has an interesting article on the Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, in the January issue of Floral Life, the il- lustration being from a photograph by L. V. Hallock.

The articles are arranged alphabetically, like those in an ency- clopedia, 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- ings. It is A Coxnplete Reference Book for Commercial Florists and is a whole library on practical commercial flori- culture in one volume.

SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The weather has been mild enougli during the past week to suit any one. \Ve have had only a few slight frosts and flowers continue fairly plentiful. Business has been quiet with all the retailers, so that there is an abundance of stock to meet all requirements. The quotations I gave last week have not changed materially, although I expect to see carnations somewhat cheaper in a few days. Tulips, especially the Rem- brandt variety, have made their appear- ance in most of the stores and arc selling at 50 cents per dozen. The flor- ists generally pack about a half dozen in a 6-inch flower pot and retail it for 75 cents. As a great many growers have planted heavily in tulips I expect an avalanche of them in a couple of weeks, especially of Keizerskroon. Val- ley is in good demand and of good quality. I am inclined to think they have been a veiy profitable crop for the growers thus far this season. Maid- en hair fern is very scarce and as there is quite a shortage of the wild variety, owing to the want of sufiicient rain and the cold winds, the florists have had to use much asparagus and other greens in consequence. Mums are holding their own splendidly and I do not know what the florists would do without them, especially in funeral work. The out- door, cheap flowers have disappeared al- most entirely except narcissi, ■ and it will be many weeks before much else is offered. Chrysanthemums, however, are good, both in stem and flower and are selling at from $2 to $i per hundred. Various Notes. Matraia & Bertrand have leased a large store in the new Flood building into which they will move when the edi- fice is finished. This firm is one of the most enterprising on Powell street, and the location of their new store will be second to none in town. Rosaia & Rossi have established them- selves in good shape in the store va- STRONGLY ROOTED C4RNATI0NS -■ NOW Ready. OBOWN OUT OF DOOBS AND BOOTED WITHOUT HEA.T.

The Indiaua State Florists' Associa- tion held its annual meeting at the Commercial Club rooms on January 12, and although only three out-of-town members were present, there was a good attendance, and much business was trans- acted. The most important was the elec- tion of new officers and an executive com- mittee. E. A. Nelson, of this city, was elected president; J. S. Stuart, of An- derson, first vice-president ; H. Junge, second vice-president, and J. Heidenreieh was re-elected treasurer. Our worthy secretary of the past two years, Mr. H. Junge, announced that he was not. a canclidate for re-election, so Fred Huck- riede was elected to take his place. The executive committee elected consists of the following members: Mr. Hatfield, J. Eieman, J. A. E. Haugh, F. Alley and A. F. J. Baur,' This committee at once held a meeting and elected Mr, Haugh chairman and Mr. Baur secre- tary. It also outlined a plan of present- ing to the society at its meetings some- thing of interest, either in the shape of a paper by some member or a discussion on some subject of commou interest. The exhibition was not very extensive, but what there vras was fine. J. Hartje showed a vase of Moonlight and a light pink on the order of Fragrance, but lighter in color and much larger, also a large, deep pink seedling. The first two received certifieates of merit. Baur & Smith showed a large vase of fine In- dianapolis blooms which were awarded a certificate of merit. They booked some nice orders on the strength of that vase. Those present from out-of-town were J. S. Stuart and J. A. E. Haugh, of An- derson, and Vernon D, Grave, of Rich- mond. A day late came Fred Lemon, of Eichmond, and Paul Dailledouze, of Flatbush, L. I., but they did not come to attend the meeting. Mr. Dailledouze is making his annual swing around the circle to see what is doing, and what there is good sticking around in the odd corners of the country. Of course, he could not miss the chance to have a look at Indianapolis, which struck his fancy just about a year ago. He had some good words to say about some of B. Witterstaetter's seedlings, which he had seen a day or two before. We enjoyed his visit very much, only it was too short. A. B, ROOTED CUTTINGS.

AVe are ox)ierienc-iiig a spell of very uiiccmfortalile ami disagreeable weather, which has a rather ileiiressinu; effect on tiMiisient liiisiiiess. While tlie general re- ])ort on business among the rctajl florists is very favorable, the wholesalers and growers complain. There is certainly a kill in all branches of trade at the pres- ent time, and it has some effect on tlu> florist. Stock of all kinds is (|uite plentiful at this writing. Carnations aie coming ;•■ hea%'ily and of very good quality. Witli prices ranging as low as .$S per 1,000 (in small lots $2 to .■f4 per 100) stock lilies not clean u[i at all satisfactory, ilaids. Brides and Liberties are in very fair demand and clean sales are report- ed. Prospects are that rose cuts will shorten up and prices will stiffen. Spe- cial American Beauty roses are anything but plentiful ; of shorter grades there are more than enough. Tulips are very, plentiful and poor sale. Paper White narcissi and Koman hyacinths still re- main a glut. In greens the market is well supplied, plenty of smilax, aspara- gus and Sprengeri at usiuil prices. Various Items. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- ceiving some very fine wMte lilac and freesia. The Wabash Eailroad, which dealt so cruelly with our friend, Christ Eieger. evidently did the handsome thing, for he is building a five-story brick and iron factory building at Forbes and Boyd streets. Randolph & McClemeuts did the deco- rating for the Fairbanks-Cassidy wed- ding. Instead of the traditional white bridal bouquet the bride carried a hand- some bunch of ilarie Louise violets.

Hunt, a life-long resicknt of this city and for many years in the florists' business, died January 6 of paralysis, the day being the sixtieth an- niversary of his birth. He had suf- fered three previous attacks of paraly- sis and had been in feeble health for some time. Mr. Hunt was born in Mans- field and held a po.sition of esteem in the community. He was a member of sev- •eral fraternal orders, including the Odd Fellows and the G. A. E., for he served through the civil war in the 64th Ohio. He leaves a widow and three sons. For ■some years Mr. Hunt and one of the sons, Homer D., had been engaged in the florists' business, which will be continued as before, under the old name of Geo. "\V. Hunt & Son, bv H. D. Hunt. NORTHAMPTON, MASS. Holiday trade in this city was fully up to last year. Carnations were of fine quality and sold at good prices. Cycla- men. Gloire de Lorraine begonias, pri- mulas and azaleas sold best in flowering plants, in the order named, and supply ■was up to the demand. The call for palms and ferns was less than last year, owing undoubtedly to the good supply of flowering ]ilants. The westher for a ■week before Christmas was very fine; since that time it has been very cold. On Tuesday, January 5, the thermometer registered 26 degrees below zero, which ■was the lowest in this city for thirty- three 3-ears. G. H. S.

Business coutinued good for a few- days after New Year's but since Jan- uary 5 it has fallen off. I don't mean that it is quiet, like early fall and sum- mer, but it is not like it was last sea- son. Prices have dropped until they are ridiculously low compared with the sea- son and the price asked at the holidays. It looks like an off season, especially for the grower. The cause we have to guess at. However, with the few longer days before the Lenten season there will be something doing, we hope. The city and state inaugurations called forth quite a number of orders for flow- ers directly after New Year's but the supply was more than equal to the de- mand. Funeral orders have been limit- ed, notwithstanding that there has been a long list of death notices. Notes. The Bhode Island Florists' and Gard- eners' Club held its seventh annual ban- quet on January 14, about twenty-five members and ten invited guests being present. A very enjoyable evening was spent. ,■ ,. i) The J. A. Budlong & Sons Co. is mar- keting part of their cut here now after the hoUdays on account of the slump in prices in Boston. The violet growers no longer say they are short, 50 cents per 100 being readily accepted at present for good stock. Azaleas are a drug on the market at present. It looks as though there would be some changes in the locations of the retailers next season. Mary (Forrest) Pollock, for quite a long period connected with the Broad- way greenhouses, and now for some months in business for herself at the old established Franklin street place, re- ports good business. T. J. The seed and plant catalogue of the Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O., has as a color design fronds of Nephro- lepis Piersoni lithographed in natural colors.

It will be obser\'e<3 that Lawson is the one variety most liked by all; on nearly every other standard sort opinions differ, indicating a wide variance in results in different soils and under various cultural methods : Mrs. Lawson. Bassett & Washburn: — This is the best dark pink we have ever grown. Peter Eeinberg: — They all doff their hats to Lawson; it is surely the best dark pink. J. F. Wilcox: — ^This we consider our most profitable pink. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Best in its class. Wietor Bros.: — Anybody and every- tpdy is growing this and all have good success. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall plant about 30,000 next season. Mrs. Nelson. Peter Reinberg: — We think it the best variety of its color; very good producer and popular with buyers. Chicago Carnation Co. : — -We like it very much ; requires careful treatment. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Next season 1,000 will be enough. J. F. Wilcox: — -Is a shy bloomer with us, but will try it another season. Guardian Angel. Wietor Bros.: — Best money maker of all the pinks, always in crop, good stem and color and a good shipper. Peter Reinberg: — One of the very best from a financial standpoint; it is the "bread-winner" for many growers. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not use it. Bassett & Washburn: — It is "n. g. " with us; too small. Mrs. Joost. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Expect to plant 10,000 next season. Bassett & Washburn: — ^Does weU in spring and summer, no good in winter. Peter Reinberg: — Discarded for Mrs. Nelson and Guardian Angel. J. F. Wilcox: — Have discarded. Cressbrook. Chicago Carnation Co.: — No use; too much variation in color. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — None for next year. Bassett & Washburn: — Shall throw it away. Flowers have very poor color and form and split badly. Peter Reinberg: ^Discarded in favor of Guardian Angel and Mrs. Nelson. Wietor Bros.: — It won't do. Enchantress. Bassett & Washburn: — This has done well as far as production is concerned, but it is such a poor shipper that we are in doubt about it. Will give it a good trial next season in a separate house. .T. F. Wilcox: — Does well with us and will increase our planting next year. Wietor Bros.: — The largest and best light pink, but not the best for shipping purposes; fine seller in Chicago market. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not grow it. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Best in com- merce. Higinbotham. Peter Reinberg: — Very good commer- cial variety; desirable shade of pink and very prolific. Chicago Carnation Co.: — ^Most profit- able light pink ; this variety is improv- ing everywhere; very free; strong con- stitution. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Morning Glory will be our light pink,.next_year. grand shape, never splits and always in crop. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall plant 5,000 next year, no other light pink. Peter Reinberg: — Discarded in favor of Higinbotham. .T. F. Wilcox: — Does not do well with us; will discard it. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Constitution gone. White Cloud. Bassett & Washburn: — This has proved one of the best winter bloomers with us. It shows no signs of playing out and is very steady. .T. F. Wilcox: — Does well with us and will continue to grow it. Wietor Bros.: — The old reliable, best ))aying white on our place; our soil seems to be just right for this variety. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — ^Next year 1,0(111 plants will be enough. Peter Reinbtrg: — A good midwinter variety. Cuiiago Carnation Co.: — Will discard. Flofi Hill. Jood for continue to Chicago Carnation Co.: summer bloom only; will grow it for that purpose. Wietor Bros.: — Will discard; cannot make it pay during winter months. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — We shall plant 3,000 Hill next year. Bassett & Washburn: — ^We grow Hill Carnation Adonis. (A variety whloli bids fair to df moustrate tliat ■" a poo- start makes a trood endin? Wietor Bros.: — Have it in fine condi- tion; good flowers and stiff stem. Morning Glory. Wietor Bros.: — Best of all the light pinks of its size; fine color, good stiff stems and an elegant shipper. Bassett & Washburn:— The best light pink with us. It takes to our soil in only for spring, summer and early fall blooming. Peter Reinberg: — Good commercial varietv. J. F. us. Wilcox: — Its last season with Norway. Wietor Bros. : — Bather shy bloomer but good seller and a fine keeper. 452 The Weekly Florists' Review, Jaxuakv 28, 1904. Bassett & ■Washlmrn: — This has im- proved this season witli )is and is the best all-rouiid 'white ■»© have grewn. Lakeview Kose Gardens: — Shall plant 10,000 for next season. J. F. Wileox: — Does not do well with us and will discard it. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Will discard. Queen Louise. Peter Keinberg: — Very good bloonuT but at times inclined to burst. J. F. Wilcox: — Consider it our most profitable white in the common varieties. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Good only for retail place where splits can be used; will discard. Wietor Bros.: — We have fine plants but it is far from being an ideal white. Bassett & Washburn: — Too small. Lakeview Bose Gardens: — Expect grow 2,000 next year. Gov. Wolcott. J. F. Wilcox: — Well pleaseil with and shall grow more of it next season. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Not protitable enough; will continue to grow a few for stock only; it is a good exhibition vari- ety, which creates demand for cuttings. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Like it well enough so that we expect to plant 10,000 next year. Bassett & Washburn: — Prodvices exce|i- to it Lillian Pond. Chicago C!arnation Co.: — Bursts and .stemrots; will discard. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not licnch it next year. Bassett & Washburn : — We are disau- pointed, as it splits so badly. The size of bloom is good. Will gixe it another trial next year. Gov Lownde.'. Chicago Carnatiiui Co.: — Very fine if (■(institution holds out, which seems doubt- ful ; worth trying again. Peter Reinberg: — We have not had blooms enough from it. Peru. Peter Reinberg: — The best white we grow; prolific and continuous bloomer; pure white. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not jilant it next year. Other Whiles. .1. F. Wilcox says Boston Market does well with him, and he will increase his ])lauting next year. The Lakeview Rose Gardens have 10,000 Lorna, .5,000 Bon Homme Richard and are still growing Genesee. Bassett & Washburn say they are disappointed in White Bradt. Mur- phy 's White is too small for them. ex- Carnation Governor Wolcott. (A flower hard to beat as a fancy white.) tionaljv fine flowers, but not in such quantities as either White Cloud or Nor- way. It. splits quite a little. Her Maj'. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Our most profitable white. Wietor Bros.: — Found it a good bearer of good quality flowers; will give it more bench room next season. Bassett & Washburn: — Have only a few and the trial was hardly enough to give an idea of it, but won't try again. Lakeview Rose Gardens:— Will plant 1,000 for next season. Adonis. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Favorably im- pressed with it. Exjjerts will succeed with it if patient. We shall increase our planting next season. Bassett iSt Washburn: — The cuttings received had such a hard struggle to keep alive that it will take another season be- fore a fair opinion can be given. Peter Reinberg: — Despite bad showing so far we think it will turn out to be a fine variety. It is improving rapidly anel now looks very promising. J. F. Wileox: — Does not do well with Wietor Bros.: — Have none left. Lakeview Bose Gardens : — Don 't pi'ct to grow it. Estelle. Peter Reinberg: — Best red we grow; very prolific ; flowers large enough for commercial use. Chicago Carnation Co.: — One of the best. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Can use- 3,000 next year. J. F. Wilcox: — Does fairly' well with us, except that the stems are very short; we will only grow a limited amount next season. Wietor Bros.: — Best of the scarlets now in cultivation ; fine color and gooel keeper. Crane. Lakeview Rose Gardens:^ — Shall make it our principal red; plant 10,000 next year. Bassett & Washburn: — This is the best red for early. It is hard to keep it from elying out late in the season. J. F. Wilcox: — Have discarded on ac- count of stem-rot. Peter Reinberg: — ^Discarded for Es- telle. America. Wietor Bros.: — Gooel for spring; brings a fine crop of good flowers. Bassett & Washburn: — Good in the spring; worth growing on that account. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — We have 5,000 now on the place. Mrs. Palmer. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Very free; has given good satisfaction but shall dis- card for newer varieties. Wietor Bros. : — Large flower and of very good color, long, stiff stem. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not grow it next year. Peter Reinberg: — Discarded for Es- telle. Red Bradt (Chicago). Wietor Bros.: — One of the best scar- lets; will plant more of it next season. Bassett & Washburn : — Very large flowers, similar in habit to Mrs. Bradt. Peter Reinberg: — Would like it if it gave more flowers. Harlowarden. Bassett & Washburn: — Very fine flow- ers; had so few plants that we can only give a limited experience of it. Peter Reinberg: — Probably the best crimson ; does very well with us. Chicago Carnation Co.: — We eonsicler it the only one of its color, very free; we are now growing 10,000 plants. J. F. Wileox: — Does fairly well and will continue to grow it. Wietor Bros.: — Best of all the crim- sons. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Don't ex- pect to grow it. Roosevelt. Peter Reinberg: — One of the best of this shade and a good bloomer. .1. F. Wilcox: — Does well with us; will increase our planting next season. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Expect to plant 5,000 next season. Bassett & Washburn: — Very shy bloomer; Maceo gives more flowers than .■itiy other maroon variety. Janoaet 28, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review. 453 A House of White Cloud Carnations Grown by Wietor Bros., Chicago, Where it Seems Perfectly at Home. Prosperity, Chicago Carnation Co.: — Indispens- able; can be grown at a profit if blooms sell for 5 cents average for season. J. F. Wilcox: — We do not find it profitable, but will continue to grow a limited number. , Wietor Bros.: — Best variegated for size of flower, stem and keeping quali- ties. Peter Reinberg: — Good flower but rather shy bloomer. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall plant 5,000 ntxt season. Bassett & Washburn: — Best varie- :gated. Mrs. Bradt. Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Of 9,000 variegated next year, 3,000 will be Bradt. Bassett & Washburn: — Will discard it as the demand is so small, also the stems come too weak. Chicago Carnation Co.: — Discarded for Stella, wliich will try again. Peter Reinberg: — Still the best varie- gated. J. F. Wileox: — Shall discard this sea- son for Stella, which does much better "with us. Other Variegated. Bassett & Washburn speak highly of ■Gaiety. Lakeview Rose Gardens will plant 1,000 Stella next season. Chicago ■Carnation Co. says Dorothy Wliitney is a wonderfully profitable variety, the only yellow in commerce worth growing. Bas- sett & Washburn say Ciold Nugget is the best yellow with them. Lakeview Rose Gardens have 5,000 Eldorado this year. Novelties. The Lakeview Rose Gardens will plant Indianapolis, Flamingo, Albatross and others next year. Bassett & Washburn will try Crusader, Flamingo and Lady Bountiful. .T. F. Wilcox will plant Cru- sader, Flamingo, Lady Bountiful, The Belle and some others, not yet fully de- cideil on. Tlie Chicago Cam;5ition Co. will try Lady -.Bountiful, White Lawson, Reliance and The Belle, for white ; dis- card all but Adonis for Crusader in sear- let; Flamingo will be tested; a few plants of Indianapolis lead to a larger trial. Wietor Bros, will plant Lady Bountiful, Flamingo and others. CARNATION NOTES-EAST. Feeding. Witli the holiday strain well over and the plants back to normal conditions, the time has arrivenl when it is but natural that the plants will relish an addition to the bill of fare in the shape of food in liquid form. I wish to state, however, that this statement applies to healthy plants only. The soil in the benches should by this time be filled with a network of roots eag- erly in search of food, and if the product is to be kept up.ito the , standard as re- gard.s size, brilliancy of color, stiffness of stem and, in fact, all that goes to make up high grade blooms, it is evi- dent that those elements which have been taken from the soil, must be replaced. To supply the needs of the plants thus far, I have advised the application of top dressing, principally for the reason that I am not in favor of using liquid man- ure while the days are growing shorter, but we are now coming to the point where the plants will begin to teel the influ- ence of the sun 's increase in power, growth will naturally be more rapid, food consumption greater, and if this can be supplied in a form easily assimilated there will be a perceptible gain. My objection to the use of liquid man- ure during the darkest days of winter is based on the principle that complica- tions arising, or apt to arise, from over- watering cannot be too strictly guarded against during the time mentioned. Every grower knows the operation of watering to be an art learned only by close obser- vation ajj'i^-" thorough knowledge of the requirements of the varieties under care and as the real object of using liquid food is not inteneleel to serve the double purpose of supplying food and water at the same time, it is obvious that the safer plan is to defer this operation until more bright weather may be expected than generally occurs during the short days of winter. O'f course, one cannot feed in this way without wetting the soil but the meaning I wish to convey is that the plants should not be suffering for water when an application is made. On the other hand, it is often the case that although not in want of water, there would be a lack of nourishment had not a top dressing been applieel, the good elements of which have reacheel the roots through necessary watering. It is important that due consideration bo taken of how the plants have behaved since housing, of the quality of the soil when benched, also their present appear- ance as regards health, for, as I before remarked, it is only healthy plants that will be benefited by liquid food and it is assumed that your judgment will tell you that if for any reason a variety has not given good returns in suitable soil, it would be a waste of material to in- crease the food supply, to say nothing of the danger likely to occur through over . feeding. Various manures can be employed for this operation, either separately or in combination, but from experience I am of the opinion that a combination gives the best results, for the reason that the opportunity is afforded of maintaining a better balance between the different fertilizing elements. But this is a sub- ject which requires careful study, not only in order that those varieties with which we feel quite familiar may be properly cared for, but we must be prepared to judge the needs of new introductions which in course of time are bound to dis- place the present standard sorts. Cow manure is without doubt the best 454 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ January 28, 1004. for a foundation, while that from sheep I would place next. While hen manure is inclined to be of a fiery nature, it contains properties the value of which should not be lost sight of and when used in conjunction with other manures no harm will result. We have had unvarying success with a mixture in the proportions of two parts cow and one of sheep man- ure with an occasional addition of a dou- ble handful of hen manure to a bushel of mixture. Bone meal will be found profitable to use at times when the hen manure is left out, adding in about the same proportion. Means should be devised whereby the solution when ready for use will be clear, thus facilitating distribution. It is im- possible to give any exact directions as to the quantity a bench should receive, ow- ing to the difference in strength of ma- terials employed, how handled and time consumed in preparation. However, it is safe to begin with a solution of medium strength and, if good results follow, the plants will probably stand a stronger ap- plication later. Weather conditions this month have not been conducive to ideal growth in carnations. There -is a disposition to softness which is quickly perceived when we are now and then blessed with a day of bright sun and when considering the question of feeding this soft condition must be taken into account and before operations are begun in earnest it w-ould seem best to wait until the plants are firmer in tissue and indications point to a larger percentage of bright weather. I will probably have more to say on this subject next week. Geo. S. Osborn. CARNATION NOTES- WEST. Exhibilion Preparations. It is only about five weeks from the time the Review goes to print this week until the American Carnation Society opens its convention at Detroit, and it ties in fine shape and you want your reputation as a carnation grower to spread a little outside of your own lo- cality, that's the place to show the re- sults of your skill. If you have neither one to show, it will pay you many times the price of the trip to go and see what is doing in the line of improvement in the carnation. The date being two weeks later than in past years, it is to be hoped that milder weather will prevail, making it less risky for those shipping blooms from a distance. During the past five years at every convention there were always several who either had their blooms ruined by freezing or the severe weather delayed the trains so that many blooms did not arrive until near the close of the convention. This is especially vexa- tious to those having novelties they wish to disseminate the next season. They lose the best chance for publicity they could possibly find. Those who have blooms of standard varieties frozen or delayed can recover a large part of the loss from the express companies, but the novelty owner cannot hope to recover even a small per cent of the damage he sustains through the loss of sales he would make on the strength of his ex- hibit. What I started to write about is the preparations that might be begun now for that exhibition. By March carna- tions are usually fiue and plentiful, and you will need extra fine "blooms if you want to make a hit. A little feeding mil be necessary, and, in fact, if the plants are growing strong and the growth is free, you can feed quite regularly now, according to the weather. During dark, cloudy weather you must not feed much with manure, but rather confine your feeding to wood ashes and lime. When the weather is bright you can make the liquid manures the main diet, with an occasional dose of wood ashes or lime between. You will soon see a Store and Show Houses of the Winona Floral Co. is not too early to begin preparations for the exhibition to be held in connec- tion with 'it. That every carnation grower of any importance in the country will be there goes without saying. De- troit is quite centrally located, and is easily reached from all directions, and there surely will be a great attendance. If you have anything new to show to the carnation trade, that's the place to show, or if you have the standard varie- difference in the size and texture of the blooms and the strength of the stems. Disbudding must, of course, be at- tended to as soon as the laterals can be handled without injury to the main buds. Take them off down as low as you will cut the stems. If you want the cut- tings down low take them off and get them into the sand, but don 't leave them on the stem to rob the bloom of its size. Also be sure the stems are well sup ported, so that the large blooms, by th» time they are half-developed, do not be- come too heavy and gradually weigh the stems down. Varieties that are in- clined that way will be benefited more by wood ashes than by manure. You want to stiffen the stems all you can. Unlesf the calyx of your variety is extra strong and the crop of buds extra heavy I would not remove any of the blooming stems in order to throw more strength into the exhibition bloom, but I would rather depend on a good strong growth and liberal feeding to produce as good a bloom as the variety is capable of, without running the risk of bursting most of the calyxes. Nothing will cause calyx splitting quicker than the removal of growths in considerable quantity. You have noticed this fact when you propa- gated all you could of a fine variety and you robbed the plants of all the cuttings you could get. It is too early yet to put on much of a mulch, so you must feed with liquid. There are many manures and fertilizers you can use with success, according to the texture of your soil, but be sure you begin with weak doses. To make it too strong at the beginning is worse than to give none at all. A. F. J. Baur. ANOTHER WHITE LAWSON. We are just in receipt of a fine white carnation flower from E. Metzniaier^ of Columbus, wliich he claims is a sport from Lawson, having the same style of flower and habit and as free in blooming. Mr. Metzmaier has taken quite a num- ber of cuttings from this sport and ex- pects to have quite a few plants for next fall 's planting. Livingston Seed Co. THE STEM BORER. We enclose some carnation cuttings which show the work of a little white worm which attacks them at the surface of the soil and makes its way upward, completely destroying the stock. The worm itself is also sent in a vial. This pest is only found on one bench of young stock. Other plants of the same varieties and in the same soil do all right on other benches. What is this pest and what shall we do to get rid of it? A. G. A. I cannot give you the Latin name for the worm, but I am of the opinion that it is no other than what is usually callect the stem borer. You will usually meet it in the field, attacking the carnation plants in the same manner as they are attacking these cuttings. I do not know much about this borer and can only sug- gest a remedy without knowing whether it will rid the place of it or not. I woulcf soak some tobacco stems in boiling hot water and after cooling it oif I would water the soil thoroughly with it. Then I would dust them heavily with helebore or slug-shot. Shoot it into them hard so that it will get all over the stems well. They will bo pretty sure to get some of it when starting in on a plant and most likely it will kill them. The tobacco wa- ter may drive them out of the soil if it does not kill them. Unless there are a big lot of these cuttings, or they should be very valuable, I would burn them up and steam the soil before taking it out where they could get into your planting ground. Once you get them in there you may have a hard job getting rid of them. A. F. J. BAtJR. January 28. 1904. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 455 AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The premium list for the fifth annual exhibition of the American Rose So- ciety, to be held at Philadelphia, March 22 to 24, provides classes similar to those of the previous shows. The regular classes are as follovps: Division A, teas and hybrid teas, twent3'-five cut blooms, open to all, premiums for American Beauty and Queen of Edgely, $10 and $7 ; other varieties, $10 and $5. Division B, teas and hybrid teas, twelve cut blooms, open to growers having not more than 20,000 feet of glass, premiums $5 and $3 for best exliibits of each variety.

There are liberal premiums for six stand- ard plants, specimen' standard, specimen plant other than standard, specimen plant in not less than 12-inch pot, six Crimson Eamblers and six plants of distinct va- rieties. The special prizes include an offer of $25 for plants in pots, three of each of eight varieties; also $25 for six plants each of Magna Charta, Ciabriel Luizet, Mrs. Laing and Mereville de Lyon.. The American Rose Society's medals are offered for novelties. MISCELLANEOrS SEASONABLE HINTS. For the Orchid Growers. In these dark days, when growth is slow, there is time to look over the or- chids, if you grow any, and there are a number of florists like the writer, who grow a few dozen plants of the leading commercial species. It is for them these hints are given. Cypripediums. Cypripedium insigne will be about all cut. This is a terrestrial orchid that has no pronounced period of rest and a good healthy plant does some growing the whole season. If they have out- grown their pots, or the compost is in poor condition, or they simply want sur- facing, now is the time to do it. Per- haps you may desire to increase your stock by dividing some of the large crowded plants. Fill the pots half full of clean crocks and in the case of re- potting remove all the old soil that has become sticky or compact. Keep the crown of the plant above the rim of the pot and then surface with fresh, live sphagnum. The material to use differs with some expert growers. What is known as peat is used by some grow- ers; others have equally good success with fibrous, turfy loam. Just a word here about peat and sphagnum. The peat that is used in Eu- rope is the surface, two or three inches, of some hill that has been previously covered with low growing heaths and then all the fine particles are shaken out, which leaves little but roots and fibers. Our American peat, at least all I have seen, is the chopped up, fibrous roots of our strong growing native ferns, such as Osmunda regalis and others. Perhaps one is just as good for the purpose as the other, for both simply act as a me-, dium for the roots to creep about on and absorb moisture. The sphagnum moss every florist knows, even the dude be- hind the counter who hardlv knows but what a cyclamen is an orchid, can pro- nounce sphagnum. But don't think the dead, dry material that you stuff a wreath with will do for surfacing or- chids. It must be fresh and alive and when you ste the sphagnum green and growing, you can be almost sure that your cypripediums are doing well. About 50 degrees at night, or a trifle higher, will do for the winter months. April, May and June is the time of the most active growth and then the greatest amount of moisture is needed, but at no time should the surface moss be allowed to get dry. Caltleyas. Pretty and subdued the cypi'ipedium is, and in some arrangements most chaste, but the large public, when it asks for an orchid has in mind the beautiful cattleyas. C. labiata is out of flower by New Year's and most of them a month before. C. Percivilliana will soon be gone. After they are out of flower they need little moisture till they begin to break and make new growths. While resting, and that is now, is the time to give them attention. These cat- tleyas are grown in pots and baskets and on blocks of wood. For the com- mercial florist the basket is the better method, for then they can be suspended from the roof, and that's economy of space. A thorough cleaning of the leaves and bulbs is always in order. Scale is their worst enemy and must be removed with something that won 't scratch the surface of the leaf, say the handle of the budding knife, and then sponge with warm water. Peat is the only material that they need for their roots to work in, or on, and then surface with sphagnum. Don't increase the supply of water till the young growths are an inch or so long. Sixty to 65 degrees is the minimum temperature that they should have at any time. While it would greatly check the growth of a cattleya to disturb its roots when in active growth, say the month of April, at any time of the year you can with great benefit pick out and renew any decayed peat or sphagnum from the surface. Onddiums. Oncidiura varicosum Eodgersii is grown in several ways, in baskets, pans or on blocks. A shallow pan is the bet- ter way. Peat with an addition of broken up charcoal (not dust) suits them well. Do any shifting or surfac- ing as soon after flowering as you can, because they soon start their new growtlis. Xeep them in a night tem- perature of 65 degrees. The dendrobiums are a most beautiful genus, but unless you cut the whole flower bearing stem, or so-called bulb, they are not very useful except in deco- rations where the whole plant can be used, and then what could be more beau- tiful than a well flowered D. Wardi- anum? It would adorn the reception room where Theodore Roosevelt settled the dift'erences of the Czar and " the Mikado, all three being represented in person. T>. nobile and D. Wardianum are the two , most profitable and easiest man- Store of the Winona Floral Co., Winona, Minn. 456 The Weekly Florists' Review. January 28, 1904. aged, although both are geuerally worn out in four or five years. Xobile can be renewed by propagating from your own stock, but Wardiauum is not so easily increased. They are always bet- ter suspended from the root in small pots or baskets. Their growth is pecu- liar. About the flowering time, which, with nobile, is in December and Janu- ary, they send out young growths frorn the flowering growths. These can be taken off and, if well managed, make the second year fine bulbs that will make the finest of plants. Several, or to be more definite, a dozen of these off- shoots can be put into a 12-inch pan. Although these dendrobiums will en- dure, during the fall months, a temper- ature of 50 degrees or a little below, they are tropical and when flowering and making their growths want 65 de- grees at night. When dormant, wliich is before flowering, is the time to repot or surface them. Because you have re- plenished the little peat around their roots you need not start them growing. If nobile or Wardianum make a start to grow you must let them grow by bring- ing into warmth or they will not make a growth that will be of any use for nest year. CaUnthes. Calanthes are grown by a few. It's an orchid but does not look like one. Veitchii is the best species, a beautiful spike of pink flowers. They are or will soon be out of flower. When started the latter part of September or October they begin to make the growth which will form the bulb for another year. And after the flower is cut growth must be encouraged and continued until the bulb is fully developed, which may be the middle of April. Then they can be put to rest in any warm corner till next September and kept absolutely dry. They are a truly terrestrial orchid and want for potting material a good fresh loam with a fourth of rotten cow ma- nure and, while making their growth, from now for the next few months, relish liquid manure. William Scott. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. Those roses which were 'rooted in Oc- tober or November with a view to planting them for summer bloomers should now be large enough for bench- ing. Such varieties as Kaiserin, Lib- erty, Ivory, Golden C4ate and Chatenay are largely used for this purpose be- cause of their ability to withstand the hot summer weather without showing serious deterioration in size and quality. By planting now these varieties can, •with proper care and attention, be brought into flowering condition by Me- morial day, just in time to take the place of those winter blooming varie- ties which have to be thrown out to make room for the young stock. Those who have made no provision to have soil in good condition for this purpose will be badly handicapped this season, as it will take considerable time to get soil which has been ex- posed to the elements all winter into good, hearty condition. Wliere this system of culture is practiced it will pay to have a good soil shed, where the soil will at least be protected from rain and snow, so that it will be avail- able for use however bad the weather may be. If the soil is wet or frozen it should lie allowed to lie on the bench at a rather high temperature until it gets nielliivv, when it can be spread and planting; proceeded with, following the same methods as recommcuded for sum- mer planting. As the comparative lack of sunshine during the first few weeks after plant- ing will incapacitate the young plants from using a very rich diet, it is bet- ter to refrain from using bone meal or other fertilizers until they are well started. Careful watering, ventilating and frequent cultivation will constitute the principal requirements for the first three weeks. When the young plants have taken a good hold of the soil, and show a good growth, they will be greatly benefiteH by a sprinkling of bone meal, which should be lightly stirred into the soil while cultivating is being done. Thia can bo alternated by a sprinkling of air-slaked lime every two weeks. Until the warm weather commences and the soil is well filled with roots it is safer to refrain from liquid feeding, as this has a tendency to cause sour- ness in the soil and has a very sicken- ing effect on young stock. When the weather becomes hot a light mulch will protect the tender roots from the strong sunshine, keeping them cool and ma- terially aiding in keeping up size and quality of bloom. The summer blooming stock which has been resting during the past two months should now be started, so that a good growth may be obtained by early summer. All the small and strag- gling wood should be removed, and as the plants are now in a dormant state they won't suffer from a good pruning. The strong canes should be cut back to three or four eyes. The soil between the plants should be removed as much as possible with- out causing injury to the roots and the whole surface given a sprinkling of air-slaked lime. The bench should be refilled with a compost of equal parts of rich loam and well rotted cow man- ure and given a thorough soaking. The canes should be bent horizontally and tied in that position. This causes the dormant eyes near the base of the plant to break and it is from these e^'es the best canes are produced. Tlie temperature should now be raised to 42 degrees and the house kept rather close till the eves begin to break, when the temperature and ventilation should be gradually increased until in three weeks it reaches the normal, 56 degrees. Syringing will have to be practiced every bright day. This not only keeps spider in cheek but encourages the eyes to break freely by keeping a proper amount of moisture in the atmosphere. As the young growths increase in size the supply of water will have to be ap- portioned to keep pace, so that they may not receive a check from being over dry, nor get chilled by too mucli, as they" are very impatient of wet feet. ElBES. TROUBLE WITH ROSES. I send you some sample rose plants and soil. What is the matter? These are from a section in one bench that has been replanted three times and given dif- ferent treatment, but they die within two months. Other plants in the same bench are two and three feet high arid give fine blooms. J. J. L. These plants are to all appearance en- tirely free from disease, but they are far too weak to make any headway dur- ing winter weather; in fact, the two smaller specimens would never make thrifty, profitable plants under any cir- cumstances, not because of their size alone, but because of the very poor qual- ity of wood used in propagating. The soil is good and if properly composted is capable of growing fine stock. There must be tome defect either in the bench or its position in the house. If the drainage of that part of the bench is perfect, and it is not subjected to more heat, ecld, or draught than other parts cf the house, it must be one of these enigmas "which no fellow can un- derstand." Throw out the plants and, soil and give the bench a good washing down, then give it a hot lime wash, fill it with soil composted in the proportions - of fonr of soil to one of decomposed cow, manure. Select healthy and stocky plants and water only around the ball for the first three weeks, keep the night tempera- ture 56 degrees, day temperature 60 to 75 degrees, according to intensity of sun- shine, ventilate freely on all favorable occasions, and these plants must grow. As soon as they begin to grow cultivate freely, but do not attempt to feed until warm weather begins. Eibes. HEAD ROOM FOR MUMS. We want to plant one house next sum- mer with nmms, and as it is rather low on the eaves we think of putting in Ivory or Alice Byron. The house is three feet at the eaves, and if we take the plants from sand the first of June, pot them in 2y2-inch pots, and plant them in the beds the first of July, will thev be dwarf enough to grow, in the thirty-inch head room? Will they throw off good blooms? Is White Ivory more dwarf than Alice Byron? X. Y. Z. I see no reason why Byron or Ivory should not grow all right with the head room mentioned and if given good cul- tivation they will make very fair flowers. Buds can be taken on Byron any time after August 10, if they appear as soon as that; two and one-half feet is ample height. I don 't know that Ivory is more dwarf than Byron; certainly not as I have grown it. I have had very fine flowers from this latter variety on a 12- inch stem, by taking the August crown. If plants are set very closely together in a bench they are apt to draw up much more and I would recommend X. Y. Z. to plant not less than 8x6 for good flow- ers. Of the two varieties I would cer- tainly prefer to grow Byron. As I have before stated in these columns I consider Byron the best early white on the mar- ket todav. " Brian Bobu. HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Will vou kindly publish in your jour- nal a list of outdoor chrysanthemums hardy in the northern states, giving names and colors? A yellow that, with- out disbudding or any special care, fur- nishes blooms from one to two and one- half inches in diameter, is frequently seen in gardens, and occasionally a pure white of the same general character and size is noticed; but I would like to get information upon all varieties that may be depended upon for autumn blooms and I am sure others would appreciate a list such as that referred to. S. L. Kot being familiar with the varieties January 28. 1004. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 457 of hardy pompon chrysanthemums that are grown outdoors in the vicinity in which this correspondent resides, I will not undertake to answer the gentleman as to what special variety he has ref- erence to. There are many good varie- ties which stand the winters in the New England states. In yellows such varie- ties as Donkelarii and Mrs. Snyder are of the large-flowering type. What I mean is that they make flowers from two to two and one-half inches in diameter without disbudding. For small flowers there are Golden Fleece, Eagle d'Or, Gold Standard, etc. For white I would sug- gest Pi-ince of Wales, Queen of Whites and Souvenir Melaine for large flower- ing, the best for cutting, and for small Ehoda, Labanah, Snowflake and Maid of Kent as among the best. In pinks there are Mrs. Vincent, St. Illoria and Day- break for large, and Edna. Captivation. Ivanhoe, President and Nellie Ely for small. In red or bronze use Georgiana, Grandeur and Julia Lagravere for large flowers, and Druid Hill, Gold Finch and Princess Louise for small. While this would make up a list that would some- what cover the ground, it is only a sam- ple of the good things found in the col- lection of any first-class nurseryman or florist who makes a specialty of such stock. E. A. Vincent. TO RCX)T REX BEGONIAS. I would like to know the best tem- perature of house, sand and air for root- ing Kcx and flowering begonias'? W. E. G. The Eex begonias, which are propa- gated by sections of the leaf, require a higher temperature than the great ma- jority of the flowering species and va- rieties, and therefore the Eex is most easily propagated at the time that you are firing briskly, say from the middle of December to March 1, but the earlier you put them in the sand the better plants you will have for summer use. An ideal temperature for the Eex type woiild be 75 degrees for the sand and 60 de- grees for the atmosphere. For the flow- ering varieties 6.5 degrees for the sand and 50 degrees for the atmosphere will do very well. As most florists know, nearly all flowering begonias propagate freely by cuttings in May and June, when the air of the house is warmer than the sand, but I never could root the Eex varieties at that season. W. S. GIVE THE DETAILS. To those who wish replies to heating questions we would say that the dimen- sions of the houses, the purpose for which they are to be used, as well as specifications of boilers when these are at hand, must be included in all ques- tions, otherwise a part of the data must be assumed by the person answering the questions. L. C. C. PLAN FOR WATER HEATING. How shall we arrange our heating plant for this range: Houses run east and west, without partition walls. One house is 32x100, twelve feet to ridge, one house is 20x68 and two are 16x54, the three latter ten feet to ridge. There is glass in the ends and thirty-two inches in the south wall. All the houses have solid beds eighteen inches high. The boiler pit, eight feet deep, is at the east end of the largest house. A ten horse- power traction boiler is used, with thir- ty-five 2-inch flues. The top of the sup- ply tank is twenty feet above the boiler floor. J. W. M. I believe that the best plan would be to use overhead or top heat supplied by a 3-inch riser under the ridge of the thirty-two-foot house and returning bv twenty-two 1%-inch pipes over the benches at a height of eighteen to twen- ty-four inches, depending upon the cron to be grown. The other houses should be piped in like manner. The 20x68 house will require a 2-inch riser and fif- teen 1%-ineh return pipes, while the houses 16x54 will each require a 2-inch riser and eleven return pipes to main- tain a temperature of 70 degrees dur- ing zero weather. If a lower tempera- ture will answer fewer pipes can be used. If steam is substituted a consid- erable reduction in heating- surface can be made. If it is practicable to run compact coils built out of manifold T's along the partitions or under the walks much less light will be obstructed and equally as good results obtained with many crops. I doubt if the ten horse- power boiler has capacity enough to heat these houses. It certainly has not capacity enough to carry the piping specified, which gives 1,932 feet of radi- ation, while the boiler is capable of sup- plying about 1,600 feet. If, as before stated, you can get along with a lower temperature and use less radiating pipe the boiler may carry it. It is poor econ- omy, however, to attempt to get along with a small boiler. L. C. C. GREENHOUSE HEATING. That little article that I innocently sent to St. Louis, which I never dreamed would get into print, has gotten me into lots of trouble. It's been a regular hot water circulator. Now I stand by all I said, only the system I attempted to describe was the ideal if starting under favorable circumstances. I did not go into particulars as to what could be done under unfavorable conditions. A com- munication like that of Edw. Aleck Wal- lace I like, but the long personal letters from people in trouble I must refer to the hot water professional expert. Mr. Wallace invites me to explain one or two points at which he is at variance and, as briefly as I can word it, I will. He says: "How about the water be- coming lighter under the influence of heat and thus rising to the highest point? Surtiy, this is as important a factor as the gravitation back to the boiler." I am sure it is but a small factor. The warm particles of the water would rise and do where there is no circulation at all, as the warm particles rise from the bottom of the tea kettle to the surface .and surface colder ones drop to the bot- tom. If there was not the motive power (if it may be called so) of the return pipe the colder particles of water ten feet from the boiler would be pressing back or filtering back through the hotter particles that had later left the boiler. The water in the . heater, improperly called boiler, is made lighter than that in the return pipe and its superior weight displaces or forces the hot water out of the flow pipe; therefore the heavier the column of water in the return pipe the faster will it displace the hot and lighter water in the heater. And the speed of the circulation will depend entirely on the difference in weight of the water in the heater and that in the return pipe. Supposing you have two columns of wa- ter each six feet high, say iu 2-ineh pipes or any size you like. They are connected at the bottom by a cross pipe or like the letter U. Half way in this cross pipe you have a valve. Close the valve, fill one of the vertical pipes with boiling water and the other with cold water. They are both the same height. Open the valve connecting these two col- umns of water and immediately there will be an overflow of the hot water and the cold water will go down in its pipe an inch or two, and that is the power or force which gives us the circulation. I must admit that Mr. Wallace is cor- rect in stating that according to the sci- ence of hydrostatics it makes no differ- ence whether the drop in the return pipe is six feet in 100 feet or a perpendicular drop of six feet. The pressure where the return water entered the boiler would be l!ie same. Yet in practice the per- peuflicular drop has been proved to be the better method. Perhaps it makes lit- tle difference whether there is a rise of two inches in 100 feet or a drop of two inches in the flow pipe, but after leaving the rising flow pipe near the boiler, to enter the house as near as possible level is much better than any great devia- tion from level. '['he arraugeraent of heating pipes is too large a subject, so I will conclude by referring to the overhead pipe which I "so summarily dismissed." If you were heating the second floor of a fac- tory it would be foUy to do anything but place the heater on the ground floor. There are many instaEces where a heater cannot be placed mere than a-foot or two below the level of the greenhouse floor on account of the drainage or some other cause. Then 1o run the main flow pipe near the ridge v/ill undoubtedly help the circulation; tut you are wasting the heat and that flow pipe near the roof should be so encased with some asbestos or mineral wool thqt not a particle of radiation could escape till the water en- tered the pipes on the walls or beneath the benches. William Scott. THE READERS' CORNER. Twinned Boilers. Ed. Eeview: — On page 362, in your issue for January 14, F. W. tells how the water is driven out of one boiler into the other, the boilers being set level and twinned, w-ithout check valves in the re- turns. He also asks how a uniform level can be kept in both boilers. In re- ply to this we would say that this dif- ficulty mostly occurs if the header, the main cross steam connection, is too small to provide an equal pressure in both boilers. It will be necessary to enlarge the present header, or better, place a large equalizing pipe from one boiler to the other. By so doing the pressure will be equal in both boilers, even if one is fired and the other not. With the above arrangement it will not be necessary to have check valves, but cheek valves are advisable wherever the boilers are valved off. E. & R. The Rose Society.

M. VIOLETS. The Situation at Rbinebeck. The very many violet growers in the vicinity of Rhinebeck, N. Y., as well as other sections, have experienced one of the worst years financially that have been linown since the development to large proportions of the cultivation of the fragrant, modest little flower. There is no better bloom grown, either in color, size or perfume, than is found in Rhine- beck. The flowers of the best growers have been fully up to the average in quality this year; yet the cut in price has been really appalling. There are many causes alleged, among them, and perhaps foremost, the great financial straits in New York and other large cities. The violet is truly a rich man's flow- er. Its freshness is its perfection and so it must be replaced very often, thus giving an outlet to the grower, who in turn must study to pick just at the right time and before any of the fragrance or color is lost. The overproduction of poor violets, and there are many, has certainly had its bearing on the study, carefulness and order of the first-class growers, while retailers, in order to dis- pose of the poor stock at all, have been obliged, no doubt, for their own percent- age, to cut on the price of the good stock in order to appease the cry of the "any- thing that has a bloom" grower. The winter has also been an unusually severe one and the street venders, who are able to thus dispose of the left-over or sec- ond grade, have been obliged to go out of business. As to the future of the vidlet much is to be said in encouragement to the pains- taking grower and the careful shipper. The poor article should, and no doubt will, in the near future be given an hon- est cut price, thus encouraging or giv- ing impetus to do better or go out of business. There are very few new plants going up in Rhinebeck this spring. Many of the new growers are discouraged and willing to sell out, truly finding that money does not grow on bushes. A Rhinebeck Grower.

Carthage, Mo.— Perry Finn has just completed a greenhouse 30x200 for forc- ing vegetables. LETTUCE. All space should be kept filled up as soon as it is vacant. It will soon be too late for planting in raised benches. In these the crop will do all right through the month of March, but when April ar- rives the sun becomes rather strong and has a flagging influence on the crop, and even with all the moisture, atmospheric and otherwise, that can be given they lose that desired crispness that gives quality to the product. When solid benches are used, or where the crop is grown on the ground level, the natural moisture of the soil will be of material assistance in eliminating this flagging influence and in maintaining quality. Under those conditions, the indoor season can be considerably extended, and with judicious shading even kept on to meet the outdoor crop. But with the raised benches it is different, and I find it bet- ter to bring in a crop in cold frames be- tween the indoor and outdoor crops, as the plants are easier managed in frames through the spring months than in the greenhouse, and it gives the space in the latter for other things. A stock of young plants for this pur- pose should be kept coming along now. Any time after the middle of February planting may begin. By that time the sun 's rays are of sufficient strength to thoroughly warm up the frames through the day, and, with covering at night, they can be kept warm enough. Harden- ing off of the plants is a very important matter. If taken right from the green- house and planted in the frames at once, the change in temperature and the check in planting is apt to be too much for them, and a set-back may result. It is therefore better to set the flats containing the plants in the frame for a week or so, to let them become acclimated be- fore proceeding to plant. If the soil in the frames is of ordinary good quality, it will not be necessary to change it, but it should be enriched Ijy a liberal application of well-rotted barn- yard manure, which should be thoroughly worked into the soil to a depth of at least a foot. This, too, should be done a few days before planting, and the sash bared to the sun through the day and covered up at night to concentrate the heat so that the soil will be warmed up as well as possible to make it more genial for the little plants. And unless the frames are set well down in the ground some rough material had better be packed around the outside to prevent frost from penetrating through the boards. ►Several varieties that are hard to do in the greenhouse can he grown without much trouble in the cold frame. With ordinary care leaf rot and such diseases seldom or never attaet them there. The Boston Market and Big Boston varie- ties are the ones we usually employ. Dea- con also makes a splendid frame variety. -Although a little slower than the others, it is worth waiting for, as it makes a firmer head and stands long before Tun- ing to seed. W. S. Croydon. CHICAGO. The Market. Most of the wholesalers are in the habit of making pretty close compari- sons of their sales, day by day and week by week, with the same period in pervious years and to a good many of them, after looking at last year 's rec- ord, the business this week looks pretty bad. The corresponding week a year ago was one of the best of the sea- son; this week will not approach it. Not only is business dull by- comparison, but the stock is not in sight to do much. However, much of the difference comes in the low prices now prevail- ing. Good Brides and Maids are the only items which sell well ; there are so few of these that it is hard to satisfy cus- tomers. Stiff prices prevail here but the small soft stock hangs fire. Beau- ties are scarce, except shorts, which are generally of poor quality. Carnations are again easing up, the lower grades needing considerable assistance in the quest for a buyer. Bulbous stock is in a worse position than ever. Paper Whites are doing little better than previously. They have hardly brought the cost of the bulbs in the past few weeks. Tulips, too, are cheaper than ever before, stock which a year ago readily brought $5 per 100 now going slowly at $3. Valley must be good to sell, and other bulb flowers, including callas and Harrisii, are in the same predica- ment. The violets are having as tough a time as the bulbs. There is only one ray of light, and that not a bright one. The fact that every day sees a'dditions to the list of Hudson river growers who are shipping here shows that this mar- ket is fully as good as any in the coun- try. But this is a mighty poor week for a comparison of results, for Monday was 20 degrees below zero. The weather man had to go back sixteen years to find as cold a day, and it has not yet warmed up very much. Tlic New York violets were delayed twelve hours on Monday and several ship- ments arrived badly frozen. Several consignors shipped for the first time Saturday night and as a consequence are not likely to be pleased with re- sults. However, as one party writes that Rhinebeck alone is producing 150,- 000 a day, if these consignors do not stick, the local dealers feel that doubt- less others will be found to take their places. Quality seems to be good with all of them, at least the Campbells pro- duced locally are having a hard time of it. Singles do better. Various Notes. A. H. Schneider, of Oak Park, has leased for ten years a piece of ground inside Concordia cemetery on which he will at once erect a couple of green- houses to take care of the spring plant trade in the cemetery.

The Fleischman Company, he states, has no thought of moving from the Palmer House, where they recently made a new lease. T. D. Moseonesotes, of the Masonic Temple, has leased a room at North State and Division streets and will shortly open a store there. It is not far from Wienhoeber's on one side and Wittbold's on the other. The building occupied by the Ander- son Floral Company is to be demol- ished May 1 and Otto Young will build a sky-scraper there. Bassett & Washburn are still cutting fine Liberties, stock that sells at $2 to $2.50 per dozen. Peter Eeinberg has placed an order with George M. Garland for close to 4,000 feet of iron gutter to be used in rebuilding the big section of his place running from the residence to Balmoral avenue. It will be a big job, and the old houses, only up about ten years, are still in fair shape, but Mr. Eeinberg is 80 well pleased with the high gutter range erected last year that he thinks it will pay to put this piece in the same shape. On the night of January 22 the Chi- cago branch of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company was burned out for the second time within a year. This time it was a total loss, approximately $200,000. The company has booked several good sized orders for greenhouse glass for early spring, but delivery will not be delayed on account of the fire. On January 20 Herman Eennock, who shot Oscar Kreitling, was found not guilty of murder. In a previous trial the verdict was for conviction. C. W. McKellar is making orchids ;i specialty, handling laelias and others as well as cattleyas and cj^jripediums. James Hartshorne brought vases of Dorothy Whitney, Fiancee, Harlowar- den, Eeliance and Crusader to the Grow- ers' Market last Saturday. It was all very good stock and he booked a num- ber of orders for cuttings on the strength of the display. He says he already has orders for 175,000 Fiancee, to be sent out in 1905. It is reported that labor troubles are imminent in the wooden box factories and the wholesalers are filling all avail- able space with boxes "in the knock- down." The Florists' Cluh will hold its sec- ond outside meeting this evening at Metropolitan hall, 856 North California avenue. Tlie subjects scheduled for the last regular meeting, having to do with greenhouse building, will be discussed. W. H. Hilton is at home from his trip to Cuba, having stopped for a day or two in New Orleans. Mardi Gras at New Orleans comes February 15 and 16. It always brings a good many orders to this market. Benthey & Co. are going into the rooted cutting business on an extensive scale, having made arrangements to supply practically everything in this line. * Leonard Kill has recently proposed twenty-four names for membership in the Florists' Club. H. W. F. Goetz, with John B. Goetz, Saginaw, was a recent visitor. C. Pruner, of Winterson's, is at his tome in Ohio trying to get weU. John Zeck, of J. A. Budlong's, has been hobbling this week as the result of a fall on the ice which severely in- jured one knee. J. Stern, the Philadelphia supply dealer, was in town this week, visiting his brother and the trade. NEW YORK. Tue Market. The opening of the week finds us en- during another siege of old-time winter weather, the outskirts, doubtless, of the cold wave that envelopes Chicago in a temperature of 20 degrees below zero. A few hours ago it was raining and over- coats were a burden. Now the festive ear muff is again in evidence. These sudden changes ktep the growers on the anxious seat and accentuate the univers- ality of the bronchial epidemic, which seems to affect about everyone in the trade. There seems to be enough and to spare of every kind of cut flower stock. The very finest American Beauties touched 40 cents occasionally last week and Maids in a few special lots reached 12 to 15 cents. There was little change in the ordinary grades. Violets and carnations are plentiful and superb again in qual- ity. Orchids are being called for by out-of-town buyers and hold steady. Bulbous stock of all kinds commands low rates in comparison with last year, and in fact everything, when compared with the same dates in 1903, shows a marked recession from the prices then obtained. The outlook for improvement is some brighter, and a continuation of extreme cold weather will doubtless be reflected in a general improvement in demand. All the social functions, the iipera, weddings and dinners are in full blast and balls of national repute will fill the intervening weeks till Lent with abundance of festivity and floral decora- tions. Various Notes. ' ' Carnation night ' ' at the next meet- ing, on February 8, of the New York Florists' Club promises to be of unusual interest. ' The rooms at the Grand Opera House building, corner of Twenty- third street and Eighth avenue, will be crowded, not only with members and ex- hibitors, but the ladies have been invited to attend the exhibition and will be the recipients of snecial courtesy. Not only members of the club who are carnation- ists are expected to exhibit, but displays will be welcomed from any grower de- siring to place flowers of any kind on exhibition. They may be sent to Sec- retary John Young, 51 West Twenty- eighth street, who will properly care for and stage them for any unable to give them personal attention. Exhibits are expected from the leading growers of the country. It will be a splendid oppor- tunity for all having novelties to make a preliminary display prior to the great convention a few weeks later, at De- troit. Friday of tliis week is Carnation day and McKinley day, and it is much to be desired that the enthusiastic efforts of our friend Altick, of Dayton, in be- half of the McKinley memorial fund, are meeting with merited recognition and that the custom of wearing a carnation on January 29 in memory of the martyred president may be universally observed. A. J. Fellouris is receiving splendid stock of galax and leucothoe daily and reports a busy season. Nicholas Lecakes, of Twenty-ninth street, whose dealings in green goods of every kind have been rapidly increasing, has sailed for a well earned rest in Eu- rope and will doubtless plant wild smi- lax on Mars Hill and in the pass of Thermopylfe before his return. The large phoenix sold by the collector of the port of New "iork last week on account of siezure by the customs au- thorities, were disposed of at famine prices, some stock worth $20 going at $4. Few florists were in attendance. The plants were ten to twelve feet high. Charles Millang 's conservatory proves a great convenience for city florists and the number of palms, ferns and flower- ing plants handled daily there is far in excess of expectations. Mr. Millang contemplates adding considerably to his room and facilities, having leased the whole building at 50 West Twenty-ninth street. He disposes of several thousand small ferns daily. Croweanum holds steady at $1.50 per 100 at .John I. Eaynor's, the only New York source of supply for this beautiful novelty. J. K. Allen is receiving a nice stock elaily of the fine pink gladiolus Shakes- peare, excellent quality for the season and for wliich there is a ready sale. F. E. Pierson 's new dark crimson car- nation is a beautiful thing. It origi- nated with W. C. Eussell, superintendent of the C. F. Dietrich estate at Millbrook, and the stock was purchased by Mr. Pierson. The Pierson Co. also has a good novelty in a new smilax, Medeola asparagoides myrtifolia, a German intro- duction for which they have the Ameri- can agency. The winter residence of E. W. Clucas, of Clucus & Boddington Co., was er- roneously stated in my last to be Orange. It should have been Summit, N. J. This firm has just received a large shipment from Japan of flowering wistarias, plums, peaches and cherries trimmed in attractive shapes and in fine condition, also immense quantities of tuberoses from their southern plantation. On Thursday evening the fifth annual dinner of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society will be held in the new hotel there and the secretary, Mr. Newbrand, announces the certainty of a large at- tendance. Benj. Dorrance, of Dorranceton, Pa., will bask in the sunshine of the Florida climate during the balance of the winter. Paul DaiUedouze was delighted with his western visit, and the courtesy of his reception everywhere. The trade extends its sympathy to A. L. Don, of Weeber & Don, seedsmen, in the loss of his mother in Scotland. The deceased lady was in her eighty-seventh year. Hicks & Crawbuck, of Brooklyn, find the florists' supply department a good business venture, and havb just added a fine team and new wagon to their facili- ties. Theo. Paits, one of the old-time florists of New Lots avenue, East New York, died suddenly and alone at his green- houses last Wednesday. For years he made his daily calls on the florists with hyacinths and valley as his spei-ialties and personal memories of his frequent visits ten years ago remind me of his faithfulness to promises and sterling honesty that more than atoned for ec- 460 TheWeekly Florists' Review. Januaki 28, 1904. centricities. He was very fond of ani- mals and a peculiar coincidence was the death of a faithful horse at the same hour he passed away. He was nearly 70 years old. The proximity of the Detroit carna- tion convention developes a widespread interest in the east and a good attendance is certain from New York and vicinity. The railroads have announced a fare of one and one-third rate for intending vis- itors. It is quite likely a Pullman will be filled for the journey via the West Shore. One of the most interesting exhibits at the great automobile exhibition here was that of the Caldwell Lawn Mower Co., of Newburg, N. Y. It was a steam lawn mower and its value for parks and large estates is evident. Its weight is about one and a half tons. It can be used as a roller, as well as a mower and attracted much attention at the show, which was attended by over 100,000 visi- tors. The Bowling Club elected as officers of the new organization "Wm. Siebrecht, president; Jno. B. Nugent, treasurer; Wm. Ford, secretary; Theo. Lang, caD- tain. The second meeting was a most harmonious gathering, and thirteen mem- bers again demonstrated the luck of the proverbial unlucky number. Patrick O'Mara was present, still recuperating from his long struggle with Job's com- forter, but will be in condition for his share of the sport by next Monday even- ing. The full membership is expected to total twenty. The scores follow and show marked improvement. Philadel- phia and Flatbush may look for chal- lenges before another moon.

Austin Shaw. ST, LOUIS. The Market. Business seems to have improved some- what the latter part of the past week and the demand for stock is greater than for the last ten days. Since last writing we have been treated to some real winter weather, with a good faU of snow. This kind of weather will no doubt make a scarcity in the market. During the past week there were a number of dinners, weddings, receptions and other entertain- ments, which used up considerable stock. Counter trade is better and the down- town dealers claim that they see quite an improvement in this line. The street corner men are not able to sell in this kind of weather. In carnations the market is well sup- plied, especially with pink sorts. Others seem in big demand. All whites sell weU; the price on these is not so high; $2 to $4 buys a hundred fairly good blooms. Fancy stock runs $5 to $6. The best stock" comes from Henry Baer, of Peoria, HI. This stock is very fine and sells quick at top prices. The rose market is somewhat weak but the demand is good for choice stock, the shortage of which seems generaL The prico is rather high, the best being not very fan"v. The best of the BriJes and Mairis bring $(! to $8, Meteors as high as $10 and Gates $4 to $6. The market is not likely to be relieved if this cloudy weather continues. Violets are in big demand and none too many are in the market. The price the past week was 75 cents per 100 and they are likely to go up to $1 this week. The quality of the stock is very fine. Bulb stock is still plentiful, but in bet- ter demand, as funeral work uses much of this, especiallv Eomans and Paper Whites. These sell at from $1 to $3 per 100. CaUas are in big demand at $12.50 as Harrisii are not in the market yet. Valley is very plentiful at $3 and $4. Most of the tulips are very short- stemmed to bring regular price. Freesias are scarce. A big lot of galax was sold last week, more bronze than green. Smi- lax, too, is selling well at 15 cents per string, also Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri. Ferns have gone up to $2 per 1,000. Various Notes. Dr. A. S. Halstedt, of the St. Clair Floral Company, Belleville, was a caller last week. He reports that the Belle- ville florists have been kept very busy of late with funeral work. His new range of Dietsch houses is all ready for the glass and he says that the new addition will give the company much needed room. It was learned at the Missouri Botani- cal Gardens that George E. McClure, whose home is in Buffalo, son of the well- known George, of that city, is to desert the ancient order of bachelors and be- come a benedict. He will lead to the altar Miss Ida Norton, librarian at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, on the morn- ing of February 1. Congratulations are now in order and I know the members of the club are with me in wishing the young couple much happiness. J. H. Hadkinson, superintendent of floriculture at the World's Fair, visited Omaha the past week on business con- nected with his department. The meet- ing of the committee from the club will take place this week. J. S. Stern, of Philadelphia, was with us last week, selling florists' supplies. Jos. Koelker, of New York, was also a caller, selling bulbs. Miss Birdie Jordan McDermon, young- est daughter of the late John M. Jordan, died last week at the home of her mother on Bacon street. Henry Laucher, formerly with Edwin Lonsdale, Philadelphia, and later with John Brod, Niles Center, 111., has taken a position with F. C. Weber, at 4326 Olive street. Mayor Wells has asked for an addi- tional bond of $550,000 from the expo- sition authorities as a guarantee to re- store the western part of Forest Park to proper shape after the fair. A bond of $100,000 has already been filed. William Adels has left the employ of F. H. Wcbcr and is now with Fred Fos- ter, at 505 Olive street. Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., spent Sunday in St. Louis with friend.s. Fred reports everything all O. K. at his place and that he had a visit from his friends, Messrs. Steidle and Jablonsky. In company with Mr. Jablonsky and hi? foreman, Henry Blixen, he will pay a visit to Chicago growers next week. J. J. B. Battle Creek, Mich. — H. M. Burt has opened a branch at Bradshaw's drug store at Marshall. ART IN FLORAL DESIGNING. Like Mr. Donaghue, I ' ' make up ' ' flowers for a living, but must confess that instead of dulling the artistic per- ception, daily contact with this kind of merchandise has rather sharpened it. Neither has the study of human nature over the counter interfered with the de- velopment of a taste for the purer and sweeter objects which we call flowers. The financial part certainly is very es- sential, as is also the part of pleasing the patron. When I find that my ideas contUct with those of the customer, mine are immediately resigned. And it is well by the way, to be open to suggestions from customers. I am indebted to them for many valuable ideas. But at the same time, it might be suggested to Mr. Donaghue that he implant and cultivate in his patrons, as opportunity offers itself, an appreciation of the highest type of work he is capable of producing. And all this for his own benefit. This can- not be done in a minute; it takes long time, and patience of the same dimen- sions. 1 have stood behind the counter for years, selling designs, and turned around and put up my own orders, and can testi- fy to the fact that it pays, as well as pleases, to do things in the most artistic manner possible. Describe and illustrate different styles of work, imtil you hit upon a style that pleases the customer, but the working out of the details be- longs to you. Be able to do rich, mas- sive work, but be able also to spin misty sprays and garlands, like Mr. Don- aghue's, but don't leave them in the air as he does. Fasten them on your pillows, wreaths and columns whon you have op- portunity to finish off a ]>ieee according to your best judgment. There isn 't one customer in 500 who would ever inquire whether a design is lined witb tinfoil, or any other kind of foil, if it pleases her in other respects. By all means study the inclinations of your patrons, each one individually. Know to whom you dare to make suggestions, and as well those who woiJd not welcome your ideas. But there are dozens of people who prefer your suggestions to one who has a stiff pref- erence for her own. A piece that is poorly designed and well constructed is worse than a good design poorly constructed. It is all an error to suppose that beginners cannot take artistic instruction from the start, as well as mechanical details. Let them think along both lines at the same time. A large per cent of the designs sent out as models and samples are not up to the standard which they should reach. We have used Long 's because they are almost the only ones available, and if is too ex- pensive to make enough of our own. But many a time we have suggested improve- ments on these designs, while discussing them with customers, and they appre- ciate any such interest and suggestions. Gertrude Blaie. Lexington, Ky.— J. P. Keller says that they btiilt three greenhouses last season and expect to put up two more this spring, for trade is better than ever. He says that the building of interurban trolley lines helps them considerably. Mr. Keller manages the city store and his father directs the growing at the greenhouses. PiANT an adv. in the Review and see your business grow. January 2S, 1004. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 46f OAKLAND, MD. Death of Henry Weber. Henry Weber, the senior member of the firm of H. Weber & Sons, died at his home in the suburbs of Oakland, at 2:15 on the afternoon of January 21, after an illness of several months. He was 68 years of age and ividely known in the trade. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, January 23. Mr. Weber was born in the Province of Hesse-Cassle, Germany, in 1835, and was a gardener by instinct. He had his own garden as a boy and after com- pleting the usual course in the govern- ment schools he was apprenticed to the trade. At 19 he was in charge of the place as foreman. Enlisting in the British army, he saw active campaigning in the Crimean war, in 1854 and 1855. Later he participated in army opera- tions in New Zealand, Asia and Africa, continuing in the service for ten years. In 1865 he came to America to join a brother, John, who had preceded him. The two engaged in market gardening near Mt. Savage, Md., continuing for five years. In 1870, Mr. Weber, having sold his interest in the business, re- moved to Cumberland, Md., and started at market gardening and plant growing. In 1879 he bought the property at Oak- land where he has since Uved. It was almost a marsh when he bought the land, but he converted it into an ideal property for growing cauliflower and celery for market. Soon, however, he was attracted to the possibilities in the line of florists' plants and cut flowers and in a few years developed this branch to large proportions. He was always alive to the value of the best cultural methods and was one of the first to take up the good work which has placed the carnation in the forefront as a florists' flower. Among the best known \Veber introductions are Genevieve Lord and Governor Lowndes. Mr. Weber had three sons in the business with him and of recent years had left it largely to their care. One son, WiUiam, was vice- president of the American Carnation So- ciety. They will continue the business as heretofore. CXEVELAND. The Market. Business since January 1 has been so light and everything so quiet that there has been nothing to write about during that time. Prices have been gradually falling until at present cut flowers are quoted as follows: Beauties, 75 cents to $3 per doz. ; Meteors, Maids and Brides, $4 to $8 per 100; carnations, $1.50 to $4 per 100; tuUps, $2 to $4; Romans, $3; valley, $4; violets, single, 50 to 75 cents; N. Y. double, 75 cents to $1; smilas, 15 cents per string. In large quan- tities these prices have been shaded heav- ily, and even then lots of stuff has been thrown in the dump pile. The down- town stores have kept very fine window displays, but even that does not seem to create any demand, and they all report nothing doing. The cuts vrith almost all the growers are light, which fact ought to make them feel very thankful. Various Notes. Sutton Parks will open a retail store in the Citizens' Bank building, on Eu- clid avenue. This location is a good one and is about half way between the stores of Smith & Fetters and the J. M. Gasser Co. Mr. Parks has been in the business for the past six years, is well known and already has a good traae established with the best flower buyers of the city. The trade has been agreeably surprised by the receipt of a notice from the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., announcing the opening of their commission and sup- ply house at 52-54 High street on Feb- ruary 1. The company was organized under the laws of Ohio and has a capital of $10,000. It will do a strictly whole- sale business in cut flowers and handle a full line of florists ' supplies and has a force of men manufacturing wire designs. The first move of the new company was to purchase the stock, fixtures and good will of Bate Brothers and the F. E. Williams Co. Messrs. Geo. Bate and F. E. Williams will be found with the new company. E. DETROIT. Carnation Convention Plans. The time has arrived when the carna- tion grower is thinking of the annual meeting of the American Carnation So- ciety and wants to know what prepara- tion is being made for the success of the meeting, which is to be held in the most central city in the Union, Detroit, March 2 and 3. The local club has been quietly working, has a meeting place that cannot be excelled anywhere and a program that should please all. The meeting wiU be held in Harmonie Hall, the exhibition on the top floor and the business sessions on the second. This is the same hall in which the S. A. F. met in 1899, and is sufficiently commodious. The banquet will be in the same hall and commence at 7:30 p. m., giving ample time for a pleasant program. The committee hav- ing the matter in charge has secured some of the most able speakers in the country for the occasion and a most en- joyable time is expected. The exhibition promises to be the larg- est ever held. One grower has already written that he wiU bring over 3,000 blooms. As the one and one-third fare is secured from the railroads, there is every reason to expect the banner meet- ing of the society, and if the eastern growers appear with as good a repre- sentation as did the western growers at Brooklyn last year, the meeting is an assured success. Detroit has ample ho- tel accommodations of a first-class order !ind all who can should be on hand to help and to learn. The visiting ladies \fho attend will be asked to enjoy the banquet. There will be three most interesting papers read and discussed, of interest to every member of the societv. The presi- dent, G. A. Eaekham, will be glad to secure hotel accommodations for any one in advance or give any required informa- tion. The members of the club will be glad to meet any and all delegations on arrival here and wish to be notified as to time of arrival. They also wish everyone to register on the first day of the meeting and procure their banquet tickets. It is necessary, to secure the one and one-third fare, to procure a certificate on buying a ticket and on arrival here turn it in to the secretary for validation to enable the holder to buy a return ticket for the one- third fare. Now let us get together once more for benefit and a social time. Ear. BUFFALO. Current Topics. The most optimistic of our brethren pronounce the present state of business as quiet, and all will agree that there are plenty of flowers of all qualities to meet the attenuated demand. Very good long- stemmed tulips have been plentiful for the past week, but are not yet in brisk demand. Violets are in fair supply and few go to waste. Good carnations are always cleaned up. Eoses appear to be rather more plentiful just now than is usual at this time of the year and there are too many of second, third and fourth grades. The public has not and perhaps never will fall in love with Golden Gate and Ivory wUl never sell if there are enough Brides to go around. Not every one wants big roses at an expensive price. A first-class Bridesmaid or Bride should retail now at $2.50 or $3 per dozen at least, and then you can pay the grower what he should have and what it is worth to produce them, but weak necked, limp and poorly colored roses of those varie- ties are wanted by no one. And there is where I think there is an opening for most of us to grow perfect flowers of varieties that will produce a large quantity and can be sold at, say, $1 or a little more. W. J. Palmer & Son, of our city, grow a quantity of pretty, old Bon Silene and find a constant and profitable demand for it. Morgan is an- other variety, and what's the matter with sweet old Safrano, and Wootton seems relegated to oblivion. These varieties may not be the thing for the grower who ships his entire cut, but for the grower who retails his product there is room for at least some of them. Perhaps Mme. Chatenay will be one of those roses that can be produced in quantity and sell at a moderate price. There is as much need for a dollar-a- dozen rose as for 50-cent carnations; there always will be, and this demand is not filled by a third quality of our finer and more expensive varieties. We tried to have a meeting of the Florists' Club last Friday, but the slim- ness of attendance was excusable. AV. F. Kasting was taking his forty-third de- gree of Masonry, better known as the "convivial rites." The secretary was suffering with ' ' rumatis, ' ' to whicii he is a martyr. W. A. Adams could not ven- ture across the street for fear of being I'lrowneo in semi-liquid snow. Others had o(!ni! excuses anl the country members could not be expected to travel through the flood. The executive committee de- cided to make the February meeting a carnation gathering, endeavor to get a few flowers of most advertised new va- rieties as well as some of the best home- grown standard varieties and a talk on the divine flower by some acknowledged authority, not a Buffalo man, of course, because he could not draw an audience. We shall be delighted to see Flamingo take flight from Syracuse and Lady Bountiful come, accompanied by her Fiancee from the west, and Cnisader we wiU be particularly glad to see if he can leave the Holy Land, and others that can be spared. W. S. Bellingham, Wash.— The bulb grow- ers of Whatcom and Fair Haven should now be addressed at this place, as the two cities have been consolidated under the name of Bellingham. 462 The Weekly Florists^ Review. January 28, 1904. THE TRADE AT CLEVELAND. In the Review under date of January 14 there appeared a notice of the incor- poration of The Cleveland Cut Flower Co., by George Bate, F. R. Williams and others, and if space will permit I would like to say just a few words about these Cleveland tiorists and the Cleveland trade in general. George Bate and F. R. Williams are among the leading men in the cut flower trade in Cleveland and it is gratifying to know they have joined forces in this new enterprise. Cleveland is fast becoming a great cut flower market and the demands of the trade must be met in an up-to-date and business-like manner. On the one hand, the grower who sends his stock to market to be sold demands the highest market prices, and usually expects his entire shipment will be read- ily disposed of. On the other hand, the retailer always wants the best of stock at the lowest price and expects the com- mission man to let him select it himself. And right here is where the commission man 's troubles begin. Only too often stock comes to market in anything but satisfactory condition, and when, in all justice to the grower, the commission man asks the market price for it, the retailer sets up an awful wail. Our wholesale men must use much tact and diplomacy, to say nothing of good common sense, if they wish to suit both retailer and grower, especially if stock is plentiful and weather conditions unfavorable. And then there is the question of the street fakir t' be considered. While he is not particularly active in the winter time, he is everywhere in evidence during mild weather in the larger cities, and is a great help to the grower and the market in general. The class of people who buy flowers of a fakir on the street seldom patronize a florist's store. These are questions which have been discussed quite often before and it is not necessary to go into more lengthy details now. But there is a class of florists who are neither wholesalers, store men nor fakirs, but who often do themselves and the market in general more harm than they are aware of. They are the small florists who, when they find that they have more stock than they can sell to their customers or the home trade will persist in peddling their goods to the store men at cut-throat prices. They won 't send it to the commission man, who will get for it what it is worth, for they can't bear to think of paying a few cents' commission, but they will drive several miles to market, neglect their greenhouses and spend several hours go- ing from store to store, never thinking of the time they are wasting. Bate Bros, have made a remarkable record for themselves in the short time they have been doing business. The firm is composed of three brothers, all young men, and hustlers, too, and their modern range of about 3.5,000 feet of glass is devoted exclusively to growing cut flow- ers for the wholesale market. Roses, carnations, violets and adiantum are their specialties, and these are always well grown. Robert Hand has charge of the rose section and much credit is due this young grower for the fine stock he pro- duces. The carnations, violets and other items are always good and better adian- tums cannot be seen anywhere in Cleve- land. This young firm had much to contend with when they launched upon the sea of business. The houses they bought were getting old, the stock was run down and their capital was not very large. By persistent effort, strict attention to busi- ness and fair dealing they have gradu- ally climbed to the top of the ladder, and now they have a fine range of houses in East Cleveland, just outside of the city and a visit to their place is well worth the time and trouble.

What shall we do with Von Sion tulips and Dutch hyacinths that were left over and just now potted up in pans and flats? Must they be at once placed out- side or will under the bench answer, well covered over and in a cool house, say 45 to 50 degrees at night "J Is it necessary they should freeze, and about when and with what treatment may they be brought into blooBi? " C. il. B. These bulbs will be ready and anxious to make roots directly if they are put into pots or flats and given water. Be- neath a bench, where it is never over 45 degrees, and covered with four or five inches of soil or tanbark, or any ma- terial that will keep the light away from them may do fairly well for them, and in six or seven weeks they will be so well rooted that when put on the bench they will flower quite satisfactorily. It will then be so late in the season, say the middle of March, that they will flower in a night temperature of 50 de- grees and require nothing that we call forcing, such as those flowering at this date have required. If, however, you have a frame where you could cover them with a few inches of soil and then stable litter, to keep the soil in the pots or flats from freezing, I would much pre- fer it than beneath a bench in the green- house. Freezing is not at all essential. Tulips and hyacinths freeze hard in the beds when planted out for spring flower- ing, but they have made roots in the fall before freezing up and make more in Peter Reinberg 51 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO, WHOLESALE Cut Flowers.

New York: The catalogue of Peter Henderson & Co., is delayed on account of a fire at their printers'. W. F. Massey tells the North Caro- lina tuberose growers to get together and they may easily control the market. In general the reports from the cata- logue seedsmen indicate that the extreme cold weather is keeping back mail orders •considerably. Eepresextatives of eastern wholesal- ers are in the west with a knife fresh from the grindstone ; ' ' orders ' ' is the watchword, regardless of price. _M. J. Shields, Moscow, Idaho, a large shipper of grass seeds, estimates the grass seed crop of Latah county as ■worth considerably more than $50,000. The ti-ade is just beginning to realize how short many of the standard varieties are. The week's quotations by the whole- sale dealers have been thought too high in many cases. Eefusals to pass orders at the prices asked, havo, however, been foUo^^ed by orders which in some in- stances have been refused except at a higher price. The drought in the southern and cen- tral valley counties of California has at last been broken, and the outlook for the crops is much more cheerful. In some of the southern counties there had been no rainfall of importance or value since last May. A copious downpour in nearly all sections on January 17 was welcomed with universal gratitude. The seed farms in the Santa Clara valley will be much benefited, Eeports from the vicinity of Omaha, Neb., show quite a disturbance there. Chilly temperature with occasional hot flushes prevails between the representa- tives of eastern and western houses. Con- flicting statements are given out as to the cause of the short deliveries made by the corn growers. The local dealers put the blame for their failure to make de- cent deliveries upon outsiders who bought up sweet corn, intimating that the outside parties bought corn that the local people owned through contract. This is consid- ered a lame excuse by those who expected a fair delivery on their contract orders, as they claim to have knowledge that shipments in good sized lots have gone out from the said local dealers at the higher prices which have prevailed. The calmness which usually characterizes the actions of seedsmen and other good busi- ness men in cases of emergency is lost sight of and the present temper of the interested parties is hurtful to the well being of the seed trade generally, CONTROLLING PLANT DISEASES. At the recent meeting of the American Breeders' Association, W. A, Orton, of the United States Department of Agri- culture, discussed plant breeding as a factor in controlling plant diseases. His conclusions are summarized as follows: Hybrid watermelons resistant to the dreaded watermelon wilt have been obtained. Sutton, of England, has produced potatoes resistant to the disease called "phytopthtora." Milliard produced disease resistant grapes, and Nlllsoa has produced a vetch resistant to peronospora. The United States Department of Agriculture has developed strains of cotton resistant to the cotton wilt. The best of these, the Rivers' Sea Island varieties, produce full crops of cot- ton of high quality on the worst wilt infected land. This department has also originated the Iron cow pea, which is entirely resistant to the cow pea wilt, and also to root knot caused by nematodes. Other new hybrid cow peas have been obtained, also resistant to both of these diseases and of better yield and quality. It has been found practicable to breed for resistance and at the same time increase the value of the other desirable qualities of the variety. Mr. Orton emphasizes the selection of individuals and particularly for the resist- ance of their "blood" to disease as shown by the disease resistance of a large number of the progeny of Individual mother plants. Hy- bridization should be resorted to when selec- tion fails to accomplish the purpose. In using hybridizing as a means we sometimes have the added difficulty of fixing the types. There is no likelihood that the fungi causing disease will change their habits and become parasitic on the resistant strains. PHILADELPHIA. The Holiday Trade. The January meeting of the Chicago Florists ' Club was the occasion for two papers on the holiday trade, which have proved of more than ordinary interest. One paper, prepared by William J. Stew- art, covered Boston and New York. An- other, written by G. C. Watson, covered this city. Both writers are warm sup- porters of the future of the Christmas plant, and treated the subject from the plantsman's standpoint. Both papers give an impression that plants are driv- ing cut flowers out of the market at the holidays. With regard to this city, this idea is not borne out by the facts. William J. Baker obtained a better average price than ever before for carna- tions. The Flower Market growers pro- duced an immense quantity of the finest Beauties, and sold completely out of all flowers except a few poor teas. Leo Niessen sold more stock and realized a larger amount from Christmas sales than ever before. More examples might be given, but these are enough. They may be summed up as follows: Cut flowers, more stock produced, more used, prices lower except on carnations. Plants, a slight increase at good prices on foliage and a decided increase also at good prices on choice flowering stock. The volume of business done in plants of all kinds at Christmas is small when compared with that done in cut flowers. It was a wise move on the part of the Chicago Florists' Club to have exponents of the holiday plant give their views. There is danger in the extremely high prices. There is even more danger in stale stock. There is also a great open- ing for plant growei's, but the field is lim- ited as yet. Midwinter is not the best time to handle plants. At that season the general public prefers flowers, provid- ed they are good and not too expensive. Let us hope they wUl continue U> do so. , Phil. BocKFORD, III, — Mrs, J.

The weather during the last week has held to the traditions of the genuine old- fashioned winter. When it did decide to give us what sometimes is called a January thaw, about six hours was all it could spare. This has had its effect on the cut flower trade, and one of the most noticeable features has been the rise in the price of roses to what is known as Christmas prices. Carnations have been scarce, that is, good stock. Bulb stock of all kinds is coming plenti- fully now, which is helping considerably to make up for shortages in roses and carnations. The severe weather has almost entirely demoralized train service, so that we never know when express goods are com- ing in or when stuff sent out by express will be delivered. Trains are running from five to twenty-four hours behind time. Various Notes. The Gardeners' and Florists' Associa- tion held its annual election of officers in St. George's Hall on January 19, when the following ofBcers were elected and in- stalled for the ensuing year: Presideut, W. H. Ford; vice-president, Geo. Doug- las ; second vice-president, Geo. Manton ; treasurer, Geo. Mills; secretary, E. H. Collins; executive committee, W. Mus- ton, T. Manton, W. Jay, D. Eobinson, J. H. Dunlop. H. Dillennith, J. Ede; repre- sentatives to the exhibition board, W. Jay and T. Manton. W. J. Lawrence is at present cutting some nice Harrisii lilies. His roses are considerably off crop at present, which I might say is quite a common com- plaint with so many of the florists around town. Among the younger growers who have lately embarked in business on their own account, Geo. Allan, of Toronto Junction, and John MiUigan, of Mimico, are cer- tainly making very creditable shovrings, their principal stock being carnations, and these have had good sale. John Cotterill, who for years has had a reputation as a grower of Asparagus plumosiis, has this year gone more ex- tensively into carnations, violets and bulb growing and is sending in quite a quantity of good stock. His big houses of asparagus have been supplying the bulk of the asparagus put upon the To- ronto market during the last two or three weeks. D. J. . Texaekana, Ark.— M. S.

Editor Review : In your issue of Jan- uary 7, I note that .J. E. P. would like to know how to get rid of that little white fly. We had lots of trouble with the same fellow for the past two years, but I think we are entirely rid of it now. I use two jars of any description, holding about one quart, as the mixture is liable to boil over. It consists of one ounce water, one ouu'-e sulphuric acid, three- fourths of an ounce of cyaniJj of potassium. ! use this quantity in each of the two .jurs for a house thirty-thres ffet long, twelve leet six inches wide and eight feet Iffo inchc s h the ridge, in- side measurement, evej span. Allow the mixture to remain in the house all night and use two nights in succession. I also paint two of the hot water pipes with equal parts of lime and sulphur mixed witli sour milk and let the latter remain on the pipes all winter. J. E. P. will find the above too un- pleasant for the fly to stay with him very long after the above dose. I have also noticed we have been free from tomato rust and blight since using the sulphur and lime on the pipes. S. J. Trespess. Your paper does the work, all right. — J. 0. Schmidt, Bristol, Pa.

Three days of steady rain and two days of flood hurt the flower business of this city last week. On January 23 and 24 the raging Allegheny and Jlononsahela rivers overflowed their banks and Hooded the lower part of Kttsburg and Alle- gheny. Aiiiong the florists who have their places of business in flooded dis- tricts are ilis. E. A. Williams, L. I. Neff, Geddes & Blind, Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., Breitenstein &, Flemm. and W. C. Berkert, of Allegheny. Timely preparations were made by these firms and all goods were removed to a place of safety. Prices on all flowers descended very muth last week; they surely reached their lowest point; never befcre has good stock brought so little as now. Quanti- ties of good carnations and roses are ar- riving and the demand for them is lim- ited. Tulips of very good quality are being received. The demand for Romans and Paper White narcissi is light. Notes. The committee which has the Florists' Club smoker in charge has sent out a very unique announcement, a programme which should insure a full attendance. Visitors: Edw. Reid, Philadelphia; A.

CINCINNATI. The Market. Business remains very much the same as last week. Stock of all kinds is being fairly well cleared out, but the price is nothing to brag of. Altogether the total business doing foots up pretty well, but there is no life to the demand. The buyers do not appear to care whether they get what tliey ask for or not, and for that reason there is no hustling to fill orders. This has more to do with the low prices than anything else. Eoses of all kinds are of poor quality, especially American Beauties, the major- ity of which come bull-headed and bnds that will not open. Short ones, especi- ally, are hard to move. Liberty and Meteor are the only roses that are in short supply. The greater portion of the carnations are of very good quality, and the better the quality the better they sell; it 'a only the cheaper kinds that are hard to move. Bulbous stock has not been doing any too well, especially narcissi and valley, which are rather slow sale. Romans are doing somewhat better. Callas and Har- risii are selling nicely. Violets are not doing so very well. Many of them do not find buyers at any price. Ivong- stemmed single ones do best. Notes. J. M. Gasser, of Cleveland, was a caller during the past week. He is on his way to San Antonio, Texas, where he will spend a month or so. En route he is stopping at various cities to see his friends. The stork has been working overtime in this vicinity lately and the result is the arrival of two lively little chaps, one at the home of Geo. Meyers and the other at that of Jos. E. Goldman, Middletown, Ohio. One of the errand boys of Fred Gear fell three stories down an elevator shaft, but as luck would have it, he was only bruised a trifle. Those over-the-Ehine boys are pretty tough customers. Herbert Heller, of New Castle, Ind., was in the city Sunday. C. J. Ohmeb.

The semi-monthly meeting of the Mon- mouth County Horticultural Society was held in Kedraen's Hall, January 22. The oflScers were installed and Prof. C. H. Walling officiated. . The officers are as follows: President, Wm. Turner; vice- president, George H. Hale; recording sec- retary, H. A. Kettel ; financial secretary, George Kuhn ; treasurer, W. W. Kennedy. The treasurer 's report showed a good balance on liand from this year, in addi- tion to the stocks the society holds, for this is one of the most prosperous so- cieties in the state of iSew Jersey. Some beautiful roses were shown. Geo. H. Hale had Morgans, which scored eighty points. H. A. Kettel had the finest Brides, Maids, Carnots and Golden Gates ever shown to this society and scored ninety-seven and a half points. He also had some fine sprays of cleroden- drons and two varieties of tulips. James Dowlen had a crimson carnation seed- ling, a splendid bloom with a strong two- foot stem, which scored eighty points. He also had a good scarlet, but not enough blooms to be judged. The judges of the evening were Geo. H. Hale, James Dowlen and A. Williams. Mr. Hale read a list of chrysanthemums, 117 varieties, which he grew ten years ago in Brookline, Mass., but there is not one of these varieties grown at present. The discussions of the evening were ' ' Strawberry Forcing ' ' and ' ' Eemedies for San Jose Scale." After the business meeting a lunch was served and the boys had a high old time. B.

Mpntlnn th«* RpvIpw when yon writp NEW BEDFORD. MASS. We have been having weather that the old-timers tell us has been the coldest for thirty years. The snow has been kind to the florists, having frozen so hard on the greenhouses that it made a good protec- tion. A. B. Hathaway is the only one here who lost by the snow to any extent. He was going to put some extra stays In his new house, but forgot it, and the cen- ter caved in. Moral : Don 't put ofiE until tomorrow what you can do today. Business is very quiet. There are plenty of flowers around that are loafing. The regular meeting of the IN'ew Bed- ford Horticultural Society was held Jan- uary 12 and the following officers were elected: President, Wm. Keith; vice- president, Peter Murray; clerk, J. C. Forbes; assistant clerk, Geo. W. Woods; treasurer, Wm. F. Turner; executive com- mittee, Dennis Sea, Peter Murray, James Gartley, August H. Jahn and A. J. Fish. After the meeting a supper was served at Wickham's Cafe, thirty-one plates be- ing laid. President Keith acted as toast- master and Thomas Gray, of Boston, was the guest of the evening. The regular meeting of the Florist? ' Club was held at E. S. Noxie's, Matta- poisett, and we all had a very pleasant evening. W. L. G. Brown gave a very interesting talk on boilers and heating. Mrs. Noxie provided the members with a very nice supper. The next meeting of the club will be held with the down- town florist. W. G. Krceber, of Banbury, Conn., has returned to New Bedford with his family. C. MiDDLETOWN, N.

The easiest and cheapest to put up and the easiest and cheapest to operate. Has been in use in the invent- or's garden for the past 6 years and so has been thoroughly tested.

Since then, though the change has been slow, business has now regained its former footing and remains steady. The sujiply of roses is at about the lowest ebb, the old crops being entirely off and the new cut just beginning. The prospects are good for a very fine cut in the near future. Beau- ties are producing some very high grade blooms but the supply is far short of •what it was at holiday time. Carna- tions are in full crop. The ilemand is fair but prices, as a rule, are not so satisfactory. The lily crops for Easter are showing up in excellent form, little or no trace of disease having as yet appeared. The quantities grown will l>e largely in excess of last season. Bul- bous stock of excellent quality has been on the market for some time and com- mands a ready sale at good prices. Tlie Van Bochoves have been cutting some very fine Harrisii since before the holidays, their cut being sold out every day. The weather has been cold and cloudy and on Sunday wo had a blizzard with the temperature S degrees below zero. E. CARNATIONS REGISTERED. H.

The result of a cross between seedlings of Scott extraction on one side and of Daybreak extraction on the other. The vigorous characteristics of these two varieties are' fully conserved in the New Daybreak; the color at no time of the year has a washed-out a])- pearanco. Blooms three inches and o^■er in diameter, stems eighteen to thirty inches during the season and always strong enough to hold the flower erect.

Making a flat bunch may be termed the free hand drawing of our art. There is no excuse for its not being well done. Often in filling design frames the artistic value of a flower must bo sacrificed for a mechanical reason.' Cer- tain space must be filled or covered, •whether the best effect is secured or not. While the utmost care should be exercised to prevent such a necessity, there are times when it cannot be avoided. But in the arrangement of flat clusters there is no need of that kind of scheming. We are free to exe- cute our best ideas and the first neces- sity is to find an idea, or rather, the source of ideas. Start right. But how start right? Form correct habits of observation. This is no easy tas^k, yet there are many more difficult ones. For absolute standards of correct- ness in design natural objects are the only models whose style no one can at- tack. TliCTefore, to start right, cut out all remembrance not only of pyramidal, stiff necked, clubby "bouquets," but even those much more creditable and modern, and clear the mind for a new impression. The natural object selected for this pattern is one ready at hand, a single long-stemmed rose, one of the number out of which the cluster is to be made. First grasp its character by analyzing its form and studying its curves. Get the general trend of the stem; see where the foliage is placed and how it hangs; the taper of the stem; how the flower hangs;, the shape of the bud, whether it is long and pointed, or round. Shut your eyes an. I see its image in your mind's eye. Take another look and compare the mind's image with the real rose. Elaborate the Flower Model. Soon there will flash across your mind the picture of a cluster which takes the same general appearance as our model flower. You can see the easy sweep of the spray and the curve and bend lilce that of the pattern. The lines will be thicker, but not any thicker in propor- tion; the spray will point out like the bud; a little branch will show where a leaf was conspicuous on the pattern; the stem end of the cluster will be heavier than the tip, and the bunch as a whole will be a second edition of our model rose. If this principle is followed out, there ■will be no need of copying other peo- ple's work. You will have an unfail- ing source of ideas, for no two flowers are alike, much less the design of a branch or a flower stalk. Your work will be varied in proportion to your powers of observation and adaptation. The Form and Tie. The ribbon tie conforms to the char- acter of the bunch by following the lines of the cluster. Observe that it is nut square with the stem ends. Th.ir woidd be awkward here. A rose is drawn back from the main part of the Ininch through the U]iper bow and falls over one of the ribbon ends. The bunch is tied with wire before the ribbon is put on. Observe that in this bunch the flow- ers are at irregular distances from each other. It has no built-up appearance. The flowers composing it have a relatioii to each other, which is taken from the grouping of buds as they often appear in clusters on the stem. There is a con- nee.tion, not only between the ind? viduals of these little groups, but be- tween the groujis themselves. Don't be afraid of using space. There is plenty of it. Let in a little liglit here and there through the bunch. It will help wonderfully. About one-thir'. of the foliage is removed toward the lower ends of the stems, to prevent th<^ As to Colors. Now, as to coloring in the rose bunch, tliis cluster was for an elderly man's funeral. The roses were Ivory, and the ribbon light violet satin. The general tendency now is to use flowers of one color in one bunch, but there is no rea- son why a touch of a contrasting color, or a shade or tint of the same is not [lerfectly in keeping with the most fastidious taste. By the term tint is meant a ligliter tone, and by the term shade is meant a darker tone of the color in question. In selecting colors for use together in one bunch, many people will expect to sec you use half ot one color and half of another. But instead of checker-board combinations like that, let one color be in excess and introduce just enough of another color to relieve or touch the predominant color. That cannot take from the sim- plicity of the cluster, which should bo the rule, both as to arrangement and coloring. The Carnation Cluster. In the carnation cluster the sama idan is used, both in obtaining the de- sign and in following its pattern in the cluster. There is selected as a pattern a carnation flower with a spray of foli- age on the same stem, ancl the carna- tion bunch is a product of similar style. There is no attempt made with the car- nations to have a- long, slender cluster. Design for Cluster of Ivory Roses, Afer a Rose of that Variety. "humped" look under the tie on the stem end. As a rule, one kind of flowers is best for beginners. Roses and carnation? are not happy partners for the same c Ulster. If compelled to use them to- gether, make separate clusters, and throw the smaller one over the stem end of the other, in place of a ribbon tie. Tt is quaint and bunchy, more in keep- ing with the appearance and character of the carnation as a flower. A thick mat of asparagus should be set under the bunch to raise it off the flat surface. Carnations do not lie flat gracefully, as most roses do. AVTiere it is possible always use the natural foliage with its own flowers. Don 't throw away the long-stemmed 500 The Weekly Florists* Review. FEnniARY 4. 1904. buds which remain when carnations are used for design work. Use many of them among and under the flowers. If the natural foliage cannot bo had, get foli- ag9 which most nearly resembles it in color and form. Ccntaurea gymnocarpa, any of the pteris ferns, asparagus and fancy grasses are good substitutes for carnation foliage. Narrower ribbons with plenty of loops suggest themselves as ties. But don't tie all the bunches with ribbon. Use as many bunches without. A spray of green often makes a dainty tie. Some- times at a funeral the amount and va- riety of ribbon is entirely too dazzling for the everlasting fitness of things. There is usually enough variety in tlie different kinds" of flowers used nowa- days, without aggravating the condi- tion. Gertrude Blak. PIMELEAS. These beautiful greenhouse shrubs are nearly all natives of Australia and New Zealand, and consequently require cool greenhouse treatment. They are easily grown, are profuse bloomers, the tip of each shoot producing a flower head, and when they are properly handled and of sufiScient "age the number of these shoots is large, so that a three or four-year-old plant will average from fifty to 100 blooms. Being compact in habit of growth they require little training, the only pruning required being to cut back the bloom- ing stems to about one-half of their last growth. They succeed well in a com- post of one-half fibry peat soil and one- half good fibry loam, to which must be added about one-s-ixth of sand, broken pot-sherds and charcoal in equal propor- tions. Unlike most other hard-wopded plants, they delight in plenty of water, so they must be provided with perfect drainage and as red spider is particularly fond of them they require frequent syringing. As soon as the flowering season is over the shoots should be cut back and the plants removed to a cool house or, if the season will permit, to an outside frame, where they should be kept cool by shading and moist by covering the pots with moss until the eyes break, when the shading should be discontinued. Dur- ing this stage they should be frequently syringed to encourage the eyes to break. When there is a good start made with the new breaks they should be repotted and shaded for a few days. Although they blight in a cool temper- ature, 40 to 45 degrees during winter, they are very susceptible to frost, the first touch causing them to shed their foliage, so they must be housed before there is the least danger. Propagation is usually effected by cut- tings in sand at a temperature of 48 degrees, kept moist and shaded until the hairlike roots appear, when they should be potted and placed in a cool, moist atmosphere until the ball is well filled with roots, when they can be fully ex- posed to light and sun. They can also be propagated by seed but the process is too slow to be either profitable or in- teresting. Well-grown specimens, by their at- tractive shape and color of bloom, usual- ly command a ready sale, as they make a good window plant and coming into bloom .iust as most other hard-wooded plants are going out, they are doubly valuable. They remain in bloom from three weeks to a mouth. Their colors vary from deep red through all the shades of pink to a pure white. Some of the varieties best suited for commercial work will be found in the following list: P. arenaria, white; de- cussata (ferrngiiiea). rose; glauca, white; Gnidia, red; ligustrina hyperici- na, white; rosea, rose and pink; spec- tabilis, white tinged with pink. These plants can be flowered in very small pots while in a young stage but this ruins them for afterwork. The cut flowers have good keeping- qualities and are very effective in design work or sprays. RlBES. CARNATION NOTES— WEST. Notes on Varieties. Before reeei%"ing the last number of the Review I had decided to give my im- pression of some of last spring 's novel- ties, of which we bought more or less quantity for trial, and as only a few of these are mentioned I will go ahead. We make a practice every year of buy- ing at least a few of nearly all the varie- ties that are introduced and are likely to be of value to us. Some few that we did not buy I have seen growing on other places, and was able to get an idea of what they looked like on the bench. Two varieties have stood out above all the rest with us, but most of the others have some very good points about them and some of them will no doubt be grown in quantity for a few years. Enchan- tress has produced a good crop of large blooms on fine stems. The color is fine when the bloom first opens, but it wants to be cut when three-quarters open, else the edge will fade. The center does not open quick enough. It keeps well with us. Harlowarden is a grand crimson and so far ahead of Roosevelt that we do not want the latter any more. It is very early and free in spite of the long stems it makes. The color is a trifle dark. It never splits and will stand lots of feed- ing. Gov. Lowndes made a poor growth in the field, but after housing it at once shot up long, strong stems and made good blooms. This may make a good commercial sort. Lillian Pond has disappointed us some- what. We were led to expect a big crop of large blooms extra early from it; three and one-half inch blooms in Sep- tember, we were told, but we failed to see them. It is a strong, sturdy grower and produces large blooms, rather late with us. Splits some in midwinter. One large grower told me not long since that it will be one of his main whites next season. Her Majesty we consider a very fine thing. It comes in early and blooms steadily. The blooms are of good size and it never splits. We are making all we can of this. Will stand heavy feed- ing. Mrs. Theo. Roosevelt has a beautiful color, neither red nor pink. The early blooms came rather single and flimsy, but it rounds up in good time. Perhaps it wants more feeding than we gave it. Innocence would be a grand carnation if it did not inherit a bad fault from one of its parents. Flora Hill. With us it has a little bacteria this year, but we hope to keep it clean next season. A nice round bloom, pure white and a fine stem. Makes a fine plant in the field and is very free. Murphy 's White has not done well for us, but some say that for quantity of me- dium grade blooms it is hard to beat. Sybil stem-rotted badly with us, but what was left made good plants and fine long stems. The bloom is average size and the color is a fine soft shade of cerise. Should be a good commercial sort. Fragrance is a free flowering variety of a blush color. The. blooms are fair sized. The stem and calyx are good. Pres. McKinley has not made good with us, but I am inclined to lay the blame on ourselves. On the originator's place it is doing fine and also on another place not far away. Both of these grow- ers have a very rich soil and their carna- tions make a very strong, heavy growth. I think a lack of food is the cause of this variety 's poor showing on so many places. Give it a heavy diet next year and see if it does not improve. Success has not shown us anything very good yet. The growth is very thin and wiry and we did not expect a large bloom. The bloom is quite small, but the color is very pleasing. Too small for us. Adonis has surprised us twice this sea- son. The first time by refusing to take hold of the soil after we planted fine strong plants. The plants seemed to dwindle away until they looked fit for only a hospital. The second surprise was when those sick looking plants shot up some fine stems and produced blooms that would make a seedling raiser 's heart leap for joy. We are going to learn to grow this variety if we possibly can. It will never become an every-day scarlet, like Crane, but it always brings a fancy price and will most likely be a paying variety. WUl try indoor culture on a few of it. We did not buy any of The Queen, but have seen a couple of batches that looked very fine indeed. Large blooms on good, long stems and very free. Fair Maid is also liked real well by Febhlauy 4, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review. 501 those who bought it, I understanil. It is very early and free, though not ?o large nor of as good form as Enchantress. Recommended as a fine summer bloomer. And few plants of the new Eichmond Gem have demonstrated that this is going to bo a factor in the race between the scarlets for commercial favor. The color could not be improved. The stem and calyx are perfect and in productiveness it has no equal among the scarlets. The size of the bloom is equal to Crane, or perhaps a trifle larger. An easy doer ; keep your eye on it. Most of the above varieties will be tried again next season. Of some we shall plant only a hundred or two, while of a few wo will plant all that we can make from what stock we have. Some of those that look only medium tliis year may surpass the more promising ones next year, when we will know their wants a little better. We think that every variety that shows the least bit of promise should have at least two years ' trial before it is discarded. You don 't need to go into them heav}'. You will often save for yourself a fine variety that did not get the treatment it wanted at the first trial and could not show its good points. Many a grower will dis- card Adonis this year, but I will ven- ture the prediction that many of them will try it again in a year or two. A. F. J. B.\UR. NOTES ON VARIETIES. I was mucu interested in the opinions of the different large growers on the va- rieties of carnations in last week's Re- view. Now, those opinions are all right and a guide to other large growers who have but one, two or three varieties to a house, those varieties doing well under the same treatment. But I would like to see the opinions of some of the smaller fellows, wno grow, say, from 1,000 to 5,000 plants, the blooms of which they retail over their own counter. They usually have to grow several varieties in one house. In that way we could find out ■which varieties were best to grow for one's own counter trade. Of course we all know that Lawson is at tue head of the list, and if the diff'erent sports that are springing up all over the country prove as good, as profitable and as easy to grow as the original, I am not sure but what most of us will oe growing Law- son and Lawson sporto and give all other kinds the go-by. S. P. BEST WHITE CARNATIONS. I note I. V. K. asks for the best white -carnation in your issue of January 21, and in Mr. Baur 's reply ho has given a list of good varieties. With us some have done exceptionally well, but there are a couple of others that in our dis- trict are very largely and successfully grown; in fact, one variety is considered the most prolific and best type of com- mercial white in the list to-day. That is the Glacier. This might be more suc- cessfully grown than the ones enumerated. Peru has also done well here. These are not show flowers, but for good average commercial whites they are more profita- ble and easily grown. Glacier will not ^ve a long stem early in season, but by November it is all right, while Peru gives a good stem early and is a con- tinuous and prolific bloomer. I would «ay that either Glacier or Peru are more A Bunch of Carnations After the Natural Form. prolific and better average flowers than Jlrs. Joost or Lillian Pond. The latter has been a very constant bloomer and of superior size and substance. Flowers of pure color, well built, and bringing a higher price than any other white. John H. Dunlop. SUMMER CARNATIONS. Please tell us the best carnations for bedding outdoors in summer. L. L. B. Some of the very latest introductions may be fine for this purpose, but we can 't speak from experience and. again, some varieties that have lost their use- fulness for winter flowering are still very satisfactory for summer blooming. An instance of this was old Portia that gave us fine blooms in the field in Au- gust and September for several yeai's after it was " N. G. " for inside. Not everyone knows what a grand variety Estelle is for flowering in the field, but last August I had the pleasure to give John Dunlop the first prize for a vase of Estelle picked from plants in the field, and if we could all grow them like that there would not be need for look- ing any further. I would plant for summer blooming any of the following in their color: Crane or Estelle, scarlet ; Crocker, Scott or Joost, pink ; Boston Jlarket, Evelina or Her Majesty, white; Harry Fenn, crimson; Mrs. Higinbotham or Morning Glory, light pink. Of all of the above, unsatisfactory as Ethel Crocker is dur- ing the winter, it is a wonder for th» fall months outdoors. W. S. ROSES. Seasonable Hinls. Young stock which requires repotting should be attended to without delay, as any approach to being pot-bound will be certain to cause a cheek to their growth. As the larger and better grown stock al- ways makes the oest plants for benching, start earlier, grow better and give the most satisfactory results as bloomers, they should have the very best of care whiia in this stage. To produce hardy, stocky plants with sho~t-jointed, solid wood, a half inch shift is preferable to a larger one. This, while entailing more labor, saves a good deal of room, which, during the next two months, will be especially valuable. When new pots are used particular cara should be taken -n-ith the first watering, as they absorb so much of the water that it is more difficult to get the soil equally moistened, so it is better to water lightly and frequently till this is accomplished. Pots which have been previously used should be washed thoroughly, outside and in, and allowed to become dry befora using. When plants are shifted from a 2-ineh to a 2 1/2 -inch they require no drainage, as the bulk of the soil added is so small (hat there is no danger of souring, if the soil is properly packed and the mater- 502 The Weekly Florists' Review, Febkuaiiy 4, 1904. ial upon which they are to be set is fresh and free from nuid. ' As there is so little room around the ball when a half-inch shift is practiced, the soil should He made fine by passing it through a quartor-inch screen, and if the soil is in a hearty condition it can bo passed through readily without cak- ing. The ball should l)e disturbed as little as possible, simply nibbing off the sharp edges around the upper part and placing it in the pot so that the surface of the ball will bear the same relation to the new pot as it did to the old. After repotting tne stock should be returned to the house without delay and not be allowed to stand around in the potting shed, wuere there is always more or less draught, which is very injurious. Before commencing this repotting the planting plans should be so far completed that a definite knowledge of the number of plants required should be had, so that any weak plants may be discarded. Twenty or twenty-five per cent, margin is amply sufficient to give a good pick, unless thjre is a wish to have a large sur- plus for sale, which is very rarely prof- itable. It is better to give the space, care and attention to that which has to earn the monej' next season tiian to have them crowded ana half eared for in order to gain a few dollars by surplus stock. Precaution should be taken against mil- dew by using tne sulphiri' blower once a week and keeping the jiipes painted with the sulphur mixtuie and paying partic- ular attention to ventilation, it being so easy to induce an attack of this pest, especially when the plants are in .such a soft growing condition, and so har^, to get rid of for the same reason. By giving the young plants plenty of room it is easier to keep spider in check and is beneficial to the stock by admit- ting more light and a freer circulation of air among the foliage. Ribes. WEAK STEMS. My roses were planted in June, half of them on raised benches, the others in solid beds. So far those on the benches have out-bloomed the others by about one-fourth, but now those on solid beds seem to be (Pitching up pretty well. The trouble is, all have weak steins, those on solid beds being weaker than those on the benches. I twice gave them a mulch four parts cow manure and one part soil, with one quart bone meal to the barrow load of mulch. Having bright weather in December we fed twice with liquid ma- nure. The plants look healthy and the blooms are of good size. We watch thi> icii'.ptrature closely .'ind \ >ntilate when needed. We gave the benches some lime between the mulches, but without results. The soil is three-fourths sod and one- fourth cow manure. What is the cause of the weak stems? A. B. 8o far as the evidence furnished goes there seems to be nothing w-rong with the general treatment of this stock. A. B., however, fails to mention the night and day temperatures at which he runs his roses, a most essential piece of informa- tion where weak stems constitute the principal trouble. The roses on raised or table benches, no doubt, will do better during winter than those on solid beds, as the roots and drainage are more under control. For suminiT blooming those on solid beds generally give best satisfaction. There may be some very essential ele- ment absent or deficient in his soil, and as wood ashes contain every element nec- essary and in the right proportions to in- sure rapid growth and ]ierfect maturity, a sprinkling of thess might be of benefit. But as these elements are in a very con- centrated form, ashes must be used with caution. One peek is sufficient for every 500 square feet for a first application, one such application every two weeks, closely watching the results and increas- ing or diminishing the quantity as results warrant. If these are, as I assume, tea roses, the night temperature should be ^d degrees, with a day temperature ranging from 60 to 7.5 degrees, according to sunshine, ventilating freely on all favorable oeca- sicjns and whenever possible keeping a small crack of air on at night to keep the air in circulation.

He re are a dozen that, with good fresh soil and cultivation in the way of water- ing and hoeing and mulching, will be most satisfactory. Only a few of our monthly roses are hardv in our northern states. White Maman Coehet, Pink Maman Cochet, Admiral Schley, crimson ; The Burbank, she 11 pink; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, white; Souvenir du President Cariiot, delicate flesh pink; La France, rose pink; Perle des Jardins, yellow; Clothilde Soupert, blush white; Rose D'Evian. red; Safrano, deep copper yel- low ; Bon Silene, sulphur yellow ; Isa- bella Sprunt, deep pink. The last three are very old and well- known pure tea roses that give a great abundance of blooms in the fall months, which most of the newer, fine tea roses will not do in the open ground. W. S. CHRISTMAS MUMS. We have read in the Review of mums being had for Christmas. How is this done and what varieties are used for this purpose? M. B. C. It is not a very difficult matter to hold back mums for Christmas if the right varieties are used. Whether it pays is another question. Personally I don't think it dots and the demand seems very limited after Thanksgiving. M. B. C. must figure out the question of profit and loss for himself. For late work plants may be set out as late as August, but they should be grown in a separate house from the early and midseason kinds, as they require some- what different treatment. The plants should be encouraged to continue grow- ing just as lone as possible. When crown buds form rub them off and let tho plants continue growing until the last or terminal bud appears. This will not be until many of the earlier varieties are in flower, which explains why a separate house is better for late flowers. Treat- ment does not differ to any very material extent after the bud is taken, only that the house is kept as cool as possible, short of admitting actual frost. Kept cold in this manner not much water is needed, and buds develop slowly and, of course, once the flower is developed, it is only a matter of holding it as long as jiossiblc without spoiling. As to varieties to use, the old Lincoln was a good late one. Bonnaffon, Mrs. .Terome Jones, Christmas Eve, Chadwiek and Rieman I have held back with more or less success. Nathan Smith & Son have sent out several kinds of late years that they recommended for late flowers. Not having any use for flowers after Nov^mber 20, I never tried them, but I have no doubt this firm could assist M. B. C. in a good selection of up-to-date varieties suitable for his purpose.

In the foreground is the floral float con- structed by Jlr. Winterich. The wagon platform is 8x16 feet. The American eagle was made of chicken wire netting covered with crepe paper and measured five feet from tip to tip of wings. Tlie globe was covered with wliite cape flow- ers and stood in a base covered with Wm. Languth geraniums which were in turn surrounded by S. A. Nutt geraniums in full bloom. The platform carried palms and ferns. Around the edge of the plat- form hung Asparagus Sprengeri and the name was made of the same material. The idea was that the eagle represented the nation as above the world, or the other nations. The figures on the float were hailing Uncle Sam as the leader of the nations. CYCAS AND BOSTON FERNS. Would you please let me know through your valuable paper how to take care of the sago palm from starting the stem, also the best treatment for Boston ferns? M. S. The dormant stems of Cycas revoluta are usually received from Japan in the spring, and should be potted up as soon as possible after their arrival. The stems should be put in as small pots as they may be conveniently potted into; for example, a stem that weighs three or four pounds will usually go into a 6-ineh pot without much trouble, though sometimes a 7-inch pot may be required for one of that size. Pot firmly and then give a good wat- ering, placing the stems in a warm and shaded greenhouse, a night temperature of 70 degrees being enough to start the stems into growth gradually, the object being to get some root growth at the same time as the leaves come up. A syringing over the stems once or twice a day will help to swell them up and start the leaves, but until the growth ■ shows they will not require daily water- ings. The young leaves of a cycas are very tender while they are unfolding, and they must therefore be handled very carefully at that stage. A good rose or carnation soil will grow cycas all rigli^. but avoid fresh manure when first Dot- ting them up, a sprinkling of bone dust in the soil being better at that time. A stiff soil with a moderate quantity of well decayed stable manure is the best for tlie Boston fern, the use of a light soil with peat or leaf mold in it re- sulting in long and thin foliage and a plant of less substance. Grow them in full sunshine at this season and only give moderate shade in the summer. Give the plants space enough to get plenty of light and air, and see that they do not get dry, shifting them on into larger pots before they get starved and runty. Set the plants over from time to time and cut off the runners that are outside the pots, this helping to keep the strength of the crown and to develop a sturdy and compact plant. If you wish to get up a stock of the Boston fern, plant out a few plants on a bench in a house kept at about 65 de- grees at night and the runners will so'^" take possession of the bench after the fashion of an old strawberry bed, but if the most satisfactory kind of plants for the retail trade are desired, it is much the better plan to grow them in pots during the whole season, rather than to adopt the plan of growing them in a bench and lifting and potting the ferns in the fall. W. H. Taplin. THE MAKING OF WINDOW GLASS. Being asked to tell the Chicago Flor- ists' Club something about window glass, M. G. Holding, of the Sprague, Smith Co., described its manufacture in the following words, read at the meet- ing January 28: The materials of which window glass is made are chiefly white sand, lime and alkali, all melted together by intense heat, about 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit, ap])lied for about fifteen hours. Formerly, and for many years, all glass was made in crucibles or pots made of fire clay, very thitk and heavy, to stand the heat and hold the weight of the batch. In later years a large pro- portion of window glass has been made in what is known as the continuous melting tank. The first successful tank was built in Belgium, in 1884, and created a great disturbance with labor and in 1886 a mob destroyed the factories. Ever since the rebuilding, the tanks have been in successful operation. The adoption of the tank came in this country much later and they have now largely displaced the old pot factories. Still a large quantity of glass is made in pots, the capiUil required for a tank factory being large compared with that for a pot factory. It would be impossible to give you in words any adequate description of the process of making window glass. It must Im- seen to he a.ppreciated. In gen- eral the gatherer dips the end of the blow pipe, which is a heavy iron tube, into the melted glass and brings out a ball of the material, which is then taken by the blower and gradually blown into a large cylinder. The cylinder is cracked open with a hot iron and it then goes to the flattening oven, where it is flattened and annealed, and is then ready for the cutter. It is interesting to watch the blower make from a ball of glass a cylinder from twelve to eighteen inches in diam- eter and from six to seven feet long, of even and uniform thickness. In fact, the whole process of making window glass, from the melting of the batch to the cutting table, requires skill of a high order and can only be learned by long practice and experience. It is no easy work to handle on the end of a heavy blow pipe, four feet long, a heavy cylin- der of glass six or seven feet long. The skilled labor around a glass fur- nace is very well paid, the average wage being high, and some of it very high. It is not unusual for a blower of large double strength glass to make $400 per month. Of course the average is much below this. The workers have had for many years the strongest kind of a union and have kept wages high, taking advantage of the very high tariff on window glass. The worker in Belgium receives much 504 The Weekly Florists' Review.

The Market. Tlie past few weeks we liave been hav- ing all kinds of weather, from spring to coldest winter. Last Wednesday the mer- cury ranged from 6 to 10 degrees below zero, with 17 below reported by J. Lodder & Sons, of Hamilton, O. This winter has been, without a doubt, the most severe that we have had for a great many years, and the expense of running greenhouses consequently, is greater. It is to be hoped that the returns for stock produced will show enough increase to warrant the extra expense. As far as this market is concerned it is safe to say that it has. The demand for stock of all kinds is much better than last week. The supply is about the same. The store men are beginning to hustle about more tnan at any time since the holidays, and they are not nearly so particular about the kind of flowers they get. The main idea is to get the stock. This has a tendency to raise the price, and all grades are ))ow helu stiff at the quoted figures. American Beauties, which did not ilo very well at any time during the past month, are i.ow in better demand, and there are not enough to go around. Tho same may be said of all other kipds uf^ roses, wiiu the Liberty and Meteor very scarce. The receipts of carnations are somewhat heavier, but still they are not enough to go around ; almost anything that looks like a carnation is good for $3 per hundred now. Violets also show signs of waking up, and the wholesalers now look with more favor on shipments of these as they come in. All kinds of bulbous stock is moving well and there i.i not enough Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, smilax, etc., to mfiot the de- mand. Notes.

It is highly proper to have the carnation the official flower, but >c is decidedly wrong to name the color. From a florist's point of view it is unnecessary to give any ar- guments for this, they are too obvious. Fred Walker, brother of Geo.

Campbell died January 18, aged 81 years. Up to a year ago he was actively en- gaged in the florist business. Canton, O. — Carnations were in large demand here January 29, McKinley day. Rftiny liandsome designs were sent to Mr. McKinley 's tomb and carna- tions were used everywhere. Florist Charles Brown put a pink carnation in the buttonhole of every street car em- ploye, which served to remind many of the significance of the flower that day. Ce:ntral Isup, N. Y. — ^William Thompson, gardener at the Manhattan State Hospital, died suddenly January 17 at the age of 68 years. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, and came to this country in 1888. He has become widely known' as a g.ardener of much skill and his exhibits of vegetables, plants, etc., at the fairs of Eiverhead, L. I., Hunting- ton, L. I., and at the Berkeley Lyceum, New York city, were awarded the high- est prizes. He was formerly gardener at the New York Experimental Station, Geneva, N. Y. 5J0 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Fberuaky 4, 1904. DENVER, COLO. The Market. The cut flower market has been rather quiet lately, more on the account of the scarcity of stock than otherwise. Quite recently carnations were so abundant that some of the growers proposed donating them to tho hospitals, rather than put them on the market at a figure far below their value. Now the demand is in excess of the supply. Eoses also are very scarce, especially teas, and their scarcity is felt more than that of the carnation. All roses have been rather poor for some time ; the qual- ity as well as the quantity is something unusual in this sunny clime at this time of year. Some growers who reaped the harvest at an early stage seem to be now off crop, while a few are really off alto- gether, which accounts for the condition of the market. Beauties, which always fall off in crop at this time of the year, are really more scarce than teas and are more rare than they have been for many years. Almost any grower seems capable of producing this favorite rose in abundance through- out the fall and early winter, but after the mid-winter holidays the results are either long, unproductive wood or a lot of short, scrubby flowers which no first- class retail man wishes to handle. Eastern Beauty growers, on their arrival here, are astonished to hear oi such results, but have never been able to rectify this un- accountable deficiency in crop, which in- variably occurs at this time of the year. Two Good Ferns. There are few plants that are a gen- uine success in the dwelling house in this arid country throughout the winter months. The dry, light air, coupled with the artificial heat, seems to absorb all the sap or vitality of both leaf and blos- som. But among those grown solely for their ornamental foliage and which are most popular after the palm family, is the nephrolepis family of ferns, which flourish where many other hardier types of plants are almost a failure. I think Bostoniensis has sold better than any other plant for many years; but its new rival, Piersoni, is going to give it a hard tussle for popularity in the future. Its scarcity, and consequently high price, is the only check to its selling qualities. Its character of growth has been proven to be fully equal to the Boston, and its type of foliage will make it far more at- tractive. It is well named, the ostrich plume fern. While speaking of sword ferns I would like to say a few words about Mauff's new variety which was exhibited at Mil- waukee last summer. He now has sev- eral thousand on hand and is stiU in- creasing the stock. It possesses a more compact growth, more numerous fronds than Bostoniensis, and is more full in the crown, which will make it better adapted for house culture as a pot plant. When disseminated it will make a val- uable acquisition to this family of plants. Various Notes. Begonia Lorraine is receiving special attention at the greenhouses of the Park Floral Co. just now. They are making special efforts to turn out young stock by the thousand, and so far have had commendable success. Leaf cuttings are 51 Wabash Avenue, Wholesale Florists, CHICAGO.

J their principal wood, and so far they have rooted them on an open sand bench in the propagating house, but they find as the season advances it is necessary to protect them with glass covering. This assists in holding sap and color in the leaf, which at this advanced season of the year becomes discolored and dry. Ben Boldt has recently secured a lease on the Mud Lake greenhouses belonging to the Daniels & Fisher Dry Goods Co., which takes effect in August. This place has proven too much for many, but as Ben has had unprecedented success, he feels justitied in his undertaking. He is now making contracts for his whole output for the coming season, and as he is noted for growing only the best, he has no trouble in placing all his product beforehand. Another grower who -.as practiced this; system of uisposing of his stock is Ben- son, of South Denver. He has for many years contracted lor the bulk of his crop with a prominent retail house, and the transactions have been so satisfactory to both parties that it is made already for another year. Of course reputation for growing good stock is what gives a per- son such a desirable position in the pro- fession, and as Benson is considered the soul of honor in this community, com- mendation is frequently extended by his fraternal brotherhood.

The winter's slipping past: I face the future hopefully. My coal bids fair to last." This may possibly be the song of some of our western fellow-craftsmen, but those I have met while making a tour through the Empire state are what is commonly termed ' ' on the anxious seat, ' ' for the coal pile is diminishing and the predictions are for more cold weather. Today was the first bright day in two months. No wonder flowers have been scarce when most needed. Yet in con- versation with several retailers, they feel, and perhaps justly so, that no condi- tions warrant the tremendous advance in prices around the holidays. It is forcing many into adding to plants al- ready deemed sutficient for ordinary purposes and it means that at a no very distant date the business of the com- mission man so far as out-of-town ship- ping is concerned, wiU be a thing of the past. Want of confidence between the two parties is to be deplored, and will be the means of bringing about an un- desirable state of things. L. E. Marquisee, of Syracuse, N. Y., is doing his utmost to fill the pile of orders placed for Flamingo. Stock is so badly cut to pieces for cuttings that it is doubtful if a very good showing can be made at the coming convention. Even visions of the gold medal have failed to stay the knife of the propagator. Alba- tross is a beautiful white and has sold well. Frank Baker wished me not to men- tion anything regarding the new place he has purchased just on the border of Utica, so I will not do it. J. C. Spencer may exhibit specimens of his seedling, Jubilee X Red Jacket, the same parentage from which sprang Flamingo. TMs seedling is more serrated in bloom, lighter in grass and stem, but very free. Flower is a shade brighter than Fla- mingo. J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., was hammering away on the rafters of a new 200-foot house, when I looked in at his new place at Hoffmans, situated about five miles from the home plant. ' ' Must rely more upon ourselves, ' ' re- marked Mr. Hatcher, "we know what we can grow and can see what we grow. ' ' J. O. Graham, of Little Falls, N. Y., reports business about as usual at this season. Being unable to enlarge his present plant, he is looking for a de- sirable location near by. C. A. Dole, of L/ockport, N. Y., re- ports business not nearly as good as usual. Thos. Mansfield speaks in a sim- ilar vein, but doubtless with a spell of A Specialty. I can always Bupply limited quantities on sbort notice. With reasonable notice can - - supply large quantities. Cattleyas, 86 doz. Paellas, 82 to 83 doz. Cypripedinms, 82 daz. Calanthes, 82 doz.

Eoney, of Jamestown, N. Y., of the Lake View Eose Gardens, says he does not remember so long an absence of sunshine at this season of the year. Car- nations could not be persuaded to unfold their petals or even to burst their calyxes. Eoses were much freer. Paper Whites, lilacs and lilies are forced in large quan- tities and have sold well right along. The growth and sale of smilax and as- paragus seem as good as ever. The weekly bulletin issued by this firm makes interesting reading. Invariably opti- mistic, it tones up the spirits of its readers in addition to being a valuable price list to its patrons. Dropping in on Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, N. Y., I found him preparing his week- ly batch of valuable notes, and I won- dered how he manages it, pausing be- tween whiles to ask some pertinent ques- tion of his able aides or to reply to a volley of inquiries from a customer.

Trom seed bought from dealers it is very seldom that all the seeds germinate, perhaps out of thirty seeds one may come up, saysa-nriter in the Gardening World, but if seeds are saved at home they will be much more easy to germinate. Out of every fifty seeds one may die if seeds are saved at home. Another way to in- crease stock is, when the plants are large enough, say seven inches high, pinch the top out of them, and also keep the tops. Prepare and make into cuttings by cut- ting clean at a joint, and placing them in small pots of leaf mold, sand and a little peat, teased fine, and place them under a handglass and keep close for a few weeks, when the glass may be lifted off alto- gether, and the cuttings gradually brought into a cooler temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. When the pots are nearly filled with roots give them a shift into a compost of leaf mold, sand and loam, and a few pieces of lime rubble to keep the soil open. When the plants are in bloom select the finest blooms and colors, and on bright days fertilize with a feath- er or something soft to be sure of a good set of seed, and it will pay for the trouble taken.

DEARBORN ENGRAVING CO.. 300-306 Dearboin St. CHICAGO. TARRYTOWN, N .Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held in Vanderbilt hall January 28, with a good attendance. The principal busi- ness was changing the dates of the monthly meetings from the last Thursday to the last Tuesday of each month. It was also decided to try and cultivate more sociability at the meetings, and with this end in view it was voted to have an open evening once every three months, when light refreshments will be served. Some of the members were in favor of having the annual fall chrysanthemum show held in White Plains or Yonkers, but after some discussion it was decided to hold it again in Tarrytown. The dates se- lected are November 1 to 3. The prize for this month 's exhibit was awarded to President Jas. Ballant3Tie for twelve roses. His exhibit consisted of ex- cellent blooms of the new Killarney rose, Wootton, American Beauty and Brides- maid. He also exhibited a very fine vase of Killarney roses. These were excep- tionally good and very much commented on. Mr. Ballantyne said it wag a first- class grower, and no doubt more of it will be seen around this vicinity next year. F.

THE STORRS & HARRISON CO. ^^Th"i^^"^" Hall, offered a box of cigars as a prize for the best bunch of fifty double violets, to be competed for at the next meeting. New members elected were R. Barton, gardener to L. Stern, Tarrytown, and Mr. Parker, of Irvington. Proposed for membership were A. Brown, of Tarry- town, and F. Koenig. The business meeting over, the mem- bers adjourned in a body to the Perry House, where a very substantial colla- tion was awaiting, otherwise known as the annual dinner. In all about sixty members and invited guests were pres- ent. The tables were very tastefully decorated with fronds of Nephrolepis Piersoni and vases of roses and carna- tions. The carnations, especially, were the object of much comment. John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., brought along a very fine vase of a new scarlet variety, named after himself, which was the largest carnation ever seen in Tarry- town. He also had some white and var- iegated seedlings. The F. E. Pierson Co. supplied well grown examples of White Lawson, Daheim and Enchantress, H. Nichols, of Yonkers, brought some very good blooms of Golden Gate roses, and President Ballantyne 's prize winners were also placed upon the tables. As soon as the cigars were passed, President Ballantyne, in a neat speech, in- troduced J. M. Smith, of White Plains, as toastmaster. The first to come under his eye was the Hon. C. P. McClellan, who is easily a pa^^aster as an after dinner speaker. He referred to the time when he himself grafiuated from the spade and wheelbarrow, and kept the as- semblage in good spirits with repartee and humor. The poet laureate of the profession, J. Austin Shaw, of New York, gave an example of his ability in a poem, which he named Tarrytown, and in which he managed to gather most of the gard- ening fraternity of the neighborhood and named the virtues and qualifications of each. The song bird of the profession, J. J. Butterfield, of New York, warbled his sweetest notes. P. E. Kessler, of New York, spoke for the gardening press, J. Dowling and J. Newman, from the Monmouth County Society, Oceanic, N. J., replied to the toast "The Visitors." Wm. Scott spoke for the gardeners, re- minding those present that theirs was the oldest profession on earth, and good humoredly twitted some of the different professions present and gave some ex- amples of why the Creator did not choose theirs as the first occupation for man. Jas. Scott gave a himiorous account of his experiences as gardener at the House of Bef uge on Randall 's Island. Mr. Mc- Farlane recited in his best form, and after a few more speeches the evening came to a close with votes of thanks and the singing of Auld Lang Syne. T. A. Lee. DATE OF EASTER. Note that Easter, 1904, falls on April 3. In 1905 Easter will be the latest in many years, falling on April 23. Hamilton, O, — Theo. Bock says stock is in very fair shape throughout this dis- trict. Carnations are the best sellers, better than roses. 522 The Weekly Florists' Review. Fbbbcabx 4, 1904. CLASSIFIED PLANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

I liai'e grown a sash house of parsley 6x80 in this way for si.\ years with good results, but this year we were about six weeks behind with our work in the fall, due to doing so much build- ing and an unusual amount of business during the summer months. I thought it would be better to leave this parsley planting alone and dig up some heavy roots in the late fall and pack away. But the cold weather set in and it froze hard, not having the parsley protected, and in two weeks it thawed. We went out and dug Up the frozen clumps and packed in the parsley house, as I call it, it being built for that purpose, but instead of thawing open and gro%ving all winter, as I had expected, it began to rot and now there is nothing left of it. I have almost all the hotels and board- ing houses in our town to supply with vegetables the year around and had to cut out the parsley for the past three weeks. Now I shall have to buy a quantity weekly for about tliree months till my seedlings make foliage. Cha.s. W. Eifler. TOMATOES. I have some very nice tomato plants under glass and would like to have you tell me what you mean by pollination, also if I must remove the first flowers which set on the plants. They have been planted about six weeks and are two feet high and verv healthv. G. P. C. Pollination is the act of transferring the pollen, a yellow floury substance, from the stamens to the pistil of the flower, where it must be placed before fertilization takes place. Tomato flow- ers are seldom self-pollinating. Though the pollen and the stigma (the part of the pistil adapted to receive the pollen) mature together, the pistil usually out- grows the stamens, and by the time the pollen is ripe extends so far beyond the stamens that contact is hardly pos- sible. Under natural conditions, where the plants are grown in the open air, the pollen is disseminated by natural agencies, such as wind and insects, but under artificial conditions, as under glass, artifieial means must be employed, hence the necessity of hand pollination. The stigma is provided with a sticky substance which holds the pollen when- ever it comes in contact with it, and on bright days by shaking the vines the pollen is often liberated, carried around by the air and in this way brought in contact with the stigmas, thus accom- plishing pollination. But during the dull, short days of winter pollen is not so freely produced nor so easily set free. Then the only certain method is to transfer the pollen by hand. We find tho easiest way to accomplish this is to shake the pollen frcm the flowers onto a piece of glass and from there trans- fer it to the pistil with a camelshair brush. Don't remove the flowers that are al- ready set; the more you can set at aii^ early stage the better. If the plants are healthy there is no danger of this retarding their growth to the extent of doing any harm, though it may assist in keeping the plants from becoming too gross. W. S. Croydon.

PLANT NOTES. Budded Roses. Some years ago there were many large rose growers who advertised their rose3 as being grown on their own roots and made much of the fact that they did not grow nor handle grafted stock. As a consequence the general public, when it became necessary to visit any of our local nurseries in quest of roses with M-hich to adorn their gardens, generally insisted that they be given plants that were grown on their own roots. Although in almost all cases the buyers had not the sliglitest idea why roses grown this way were more desirable than the grafted ar- ticle, still they had that idea in their heads and as a consequence generally bought little plants with hardly enough life in them to stand transplanting. All rose growers know that many of our finest varieties, especially among the tea family, make very few and very poor roots even under the best conditions and it takes usually at least three years be- fore they grow as large as the same vari- ety would grow if budded on some vari- ety of wild stock that is suited to it. In the first place the reader will bear in mind roses are grown outside in Cali- fornia entirely. In the second place also make a note of the fact that we do not graft roses to any extent on this coast. I used the term grafted roses merely because roses are grown that way both in Europe and in our enstorn states, but strictly speaking three-fourths of the plants handled here are budded stock. My leasons for preferring budded roses to those gTown on their own roots (ex- cept for some strong growing kinds and a majority of the climbing varieties) are that, first, they grow stronger; sec- ond, they are longer lived; third, they are easier transplanted ; fourth, the roots are not subject to borers and other root pests. In our large rose growing estab- lishments about six different varieties of wild stocks are used on which to bud the different sorts of roses. This represents the results of many years of experience, for we have found that certain varieties do well only when budded on certain varieties of wild roses and to have the most satisfaction from your plants they must mate properly. This is really the most important item in growing budded roses. Another feature that must not be over- looked is the disbudding of the wild stock. By this I mean the cutting out of all the eyes below where the bud is inserted. This is done after the cuttings are made and before they are planted. This removes the objection that has heaped odium on roses that were grown in any other way than on their own roots. We grow Marechal Niel on this coast five feet high from the bud the first season, and Climbing Niphetos five to six feet high. Such varieties as Caroline Testout, Liberty, Belle Siebrecht, Kaiserin, Me- teor and Perle des Jardins, average three feet high the first season and entirely STRONGLY ROOTED C4RN4TI0NS -- NOW Ready.

This accounts for the fact that our rose grow- ers who force for cut flowers under glass are falling in line and year by year are planting less stock on its own roots and insisting on big strong plants grown with- out irrigation on some vigorous wild stock. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Warm weather during the past week is bringing flowers into market in some- what larger quantity than for some time past. Freesias are now at their best and are a good selling article for the florists. They are wholesaled at 75 cents to $1 per hundred spikes and re- tail at about three times that price. Valley is plentiful at $4 per hundred and tulips are selling rapidly at $3 per hundred wholesale. Daffodils are not as plentiful as they should be at this season and they will not be offered in quantity for several weeks yet. The single Trumpet Major is the only vari- ety in bloom at present. All sorts of narcissi are plentiful and cheap. Vio- lets in abundance, the Princess of Wales variety, at 75 cents per dozen bunches are retailed by the thousands daily by the street venders and remind us that spring will be here very soon. Carna- tions are fairly plentiful except good whites. The best red and pink sorts are selling at $3 per hundred and just about enough to fill the demand nicely. Roses are not in over-supply, but are getting more plentiful daily. The prices rule about the same as those quoted the past two weeks. Lilium Harrisii are not up to the standard in length of stem. They wholesale at $2 to $3 per dozen. Wild maidenhair fern, owing to our continued dry weather, is very scarce and the cultivated variety is short and soft, so that green stuff is not up to the standard. Business out- side of funerals is very quiet, nothing except a little wedding work at present. Notes. E. Gill, of West Berkeley, has just finished planting thirty-five acres of rose cuttings. Mr. Gill is the largest rose grower on the coast and his sales thus far this season foot up close to half a million plants. Miss A. Sherling and Miss V. W. Stevens, of Oakland, have formed a partnership to engage in decorating of all kinds. Both ladies are well known on both sides of the bay and have had considerable experience in the florists' line.

'"■enty-eletth annual convention win be held at Atlanta. Ga.. June. liKM. A KEPOKT shows that there are 90,000 acres of orchards in Colorado, with 780,- 000 acres suitable ami available for or- chards and small fruits. The Hopedale Nurseries, Monticello, III., recently shipped twelve bushels of acorns to an eastern nursery and 300 pounds of tree seeds to other parties. C. W. Stuakt, of Newark, N. Y., says that in planting an apple orchard his company commonly seeds the tract to alfalfa after the trees are well started. The West Michigan Nurseries Co., Benton Harbor, Mich., has re-elected as president, J. W. Bedford; vice-president. P. M. Kelley; secretary and treasurer. H. L. Bird; other directors. Milton Preston, W. B. Moshier. A. C. Bird and John E. Bell. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has lately completed the work of plant- ing 50,000 young locust trees on land which the railroad purchased a few years ago west of Conewago Station, Pa. An official of the company says that it is the purpose of the company to plant 1,000,000 trees in the next four years. The timber is to be used for railroad ties. ALABAMA HORTICULTURISTS. The year-old Alabama State Horti- cultural Society met in convention in Mobile January 26 and 27, with Presi- dent Heikes, of the Huntsville Nurseries, in the chair. Professor Mackintosh, the state horticulturist, is secretary. Some very interesting papers were read and discussed, mostly pertaining to fruit and truck farming, spraving and fertilizers. Chas. Pabst, of Ocean Springs, Miss., in his fine treatment on pecan culture, disclosed some heavy frauds in the selling of what are sup- posed to be grafted and budded pecan trees and put every member on the look- out for such. Professor McKay, Missis- sippi state horticulturist, gave some most interesting facts about what he got out of a six-acre peach orchard, utilizing the space between the trees for vegetables, which every member, until they heard how he did it, would have considered an impossibility. The meet- ing on the whole was in every way suc- cessful and pleasant. The society is still in its infancy, but bids fair to be- come a mighty factor in the fruit and vegetable industry of Alabama. It has already succeeded in getting a state law protecting fruit and truck farmers by excluding crop pests of all kinds, and furthermore got an annual appropria- tion of $1,500 for defraying the ex- penses incurred through this act. Pro- fessor Mackintosh assured us that he will leave no stone unturned to eradicate what pests there are in the state antl keep out what we have not yet con- tracted, and we believe he is the man to do it. H. P. L. THE MARKET FOR COAL. The leading coal trade journal, the Black Diamond, reports that while prices have been firm in the east and coal has been difficult to obtain in some cases, in the west the leading markets have been in the dumps. At Detroit, Cleve- land, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City prices have been receding and there has been an accumulation of coal. Detroit has occupied a somewhat better position, but the recent reduction in prices on some Ohio coals in that mar- ket resulted in more or leas cutting of prices on the part of other producers. At Cleveland the principal oversupply of coal has been in the steam grades, which have been in excess of actual demand. In the Chicago market all grades of bi- tuminous coal, with the single, exception of smokeless, have been considerably lower. ' ' Free ' ' coal from western sources, which has held unusually firm for the past eight months, has partici- pated in the decline and is fully 25 cents lower than it was the first of the year. At St. Louis prices have shaded nif 15 to 25 cents and there is a plenti- ful supply of coal on the east side of the river. Kansas City shippers have managed to maintain prices fairly well, but there is an accumulation of coal on track. We like the Review better than ever and would not want to do without it — Wm. Dyer, Three Rivers, Mich. etc., have been the standard of excellence tor half a century. The best always cheapest.

Eoses are all off crop; ear- nations just as bad and very high priced. Bulb stock was mostly all forced in for the holidays and is now very scarce. But we are all getting in some fine violets and there are a few good callas and longi- florum lilies on the market, which have been a great help in making funeral work lately. Greenhouse men do not seem to be so busy; not having much to cut they do not get down-town as often. All of them are getting after their spring stock for bedding out in good shape, and are looking forward for a good spring busi- ness. L. M. S. PRIMULA POISONING. I see the question constantly cropping up in the Eeview as to primula poison- ing. Having grown Primula obconica for the last twenty years, I feel some- thing should be said in favor of the maligned plant, especially as cultivation and science have now brought it to such perfection. Years ago we were satis- fied with a blossom about half an inch over, but now I have a bed vrith flow- ers one and a half inches in diameter and twelve and fourteen on a truss. These are from seeds imported each spring and are easy of cultivation. As to the poisoning, I take little notice of it, as moistened carbonate of soda rubbed on the part affected will allay the irritation directly, and even this could be prevented by wearing leather gloves when handling the plants. B. B. B. Butler, Pa. — Ealph Willis, formerly with the Salineville Ploral Co., Saline- vUle, Ohio, and now with E. M. Holt here, has been ill with typhoid fever, but is now able to be on duty again.

Review: — In the last issue of the Review I note the remarks of Gesler & Urury about coal consumption. Tell thtmto quit burning slack coal unless it is Pocahontas slack and they will, with a good fireman, one who understands his business, cut down their coal bill one- half. Run of mine Pocahontas coal, if one understands how to fire with it, is the best coal for greenhouse use; I know this from experience. I have been burn- ing it for three years as night fire- man, and would not fire for anyone unless they used Pocahontas coal. It took me about two weeks to learn how to use Pocahontas run of mine. I had two boilers, same make each, eighty-four 3- inch flues sixteen feet long; could be connected or disconnected according to weather, and 45,000 feet of glass, or nineteen houses. Had to hold thirty-five to forty pounds of steam steadily and could make fire last from three-quarters of an hour to one and a half, and even to two hours, according to weather with Pocahontas coal. (Prefer some lump mixed with slack.) A firm can save more coal and more money, no matter what kind of weather, warm or cold, if the night man does not have anything to do but to tend to his fires and houses, which is enough and what he is really hired to do. But many places have the night man do some potting, boxing, cutting of iiow- ers to get an early start, wash pots, do disbudding and often get in soil, etc. By doing this he will naturally neglect his houses and fire also. For instance, if I think my fire needs tending I go to see; perhaps it will last about a half hour longer, but to avoid another extra trip I will fix it then, thus losing, say, six to twelve shovels of coal. Who is out? Nobody but the firm. That is the ease in many places today, and then they wonder why they need so much coal. He gets these little jobs, as the boss says, to keep awake. A good man will never sleep and neglect his fires and houses. I know I won't and I never hear anv complaint about the houses or coal bill. M. K. S. In the advertisement of W. W.

We wish to ascertain how best to heat three rose houses, one 25xG0, the others 20x60. All are even span, with glass sides and ends. We need 65 degrees in- doors when the outside temperature is 20 below zero. The source of heat is a ■fifty horse-power tubular boiler set about a foot below tlio level of the return. It is also used to heat- a house 20.\67, one 20x.'J0, one 20xlL'o and a dwelling and office with about 125 feet of radiation in each. The fuel is steam coal. What size of pipe is best for radiation in all the houses! W. F. C. The rose house, 25x60, will require about 375 feet of radiation, equal to 862..') lineal feet of IVi-inch pipe when the boiler is working under ten pounds' pressure. Each of tho houses, 20x60 feet, will require 300 feet of radiation, equal to 690 feet of 1%-inch pipe. The house, 20x67 feet, will require 325 feet of radiation, or about 750 feet of 1V4- inch pipe, while the house. 20x50 feet, requires 240 feet of radiation, or about 552 feet of IVi-incli pipe. The house 20x125 feet takes 600- feet of radia- tion, or 1,380 lineal feet of IVi-iuch pipe. In addition to the above each of the houses should bo provided with a 2- inch riser or supply pipe running from the boiler to the far end of tho house, then divide into coils under the benches which shall contain not less than the number of lineal feet of pipe specified for each house. I .judge that one of the chief difEcidtics with this plant lies in the fact that the boiler is not far enough below the level of the returns. If the •returns can be raised or -the boiler low- ered, results will be much better. If neither of these is possible a steam trap or siphon pump will overcome the dif- «culty. L. C. C.

Geraniums. Geraniums of the zonale type that were shifted from 2-inch pots soon after New Year's, should now give you a cutting, which, if potted into a 2-inch, will make a good bedding plant by June 1, and you are sure to need them after the 4-inch plants are gone. These cuttings, the tops of the 3-incli plants, are much bet- ter put into soil, potted firmly, than prop- agated in sand. After one good water- ing, keep them rather on the dry side until they have started roots. A light bench at about 50 degrees at night is the place for them. Although this is a very simple subject, I must repeat once more, that for the sake of a cutting don't murder the 3- ineh pot plant. If you can leave at least two good eyes, all right, if not, don't look for a cutting but just pinch out the top of the plant and you will have a fine, bushy geranium. It should be needless to say that after you have cut away half of the stem and two-thirds of the leaves of these geraniums they need lit- tle water until the eyes break and new growth begins. We seldom have room to give the fall propagated zonale ge- ranium.* their final shift, a 4-inch, until after Easter. Fortunately for the ge- raniums, perhaps unfortunately for oth- er important crops, Easter is very early this year, April 3. So that will give you an abundance of time to shift them after Easter and have them in good flower at the bedding out time, with us from May 20 till June 1. Cyckmen. I have received very recently a terri- ble specimen of a cyclamen. The leaves were not apparently diseased, but the flowers had all the ills that a cyclamen is heir to. This is no stranger around here and it has stricken several growers who are acknowledged careful, good gardeners. The plant may be and often is most vigorous during the summer and up to October, when the flowers begin to rise from the corm, and when they ap- pear above the foliage and later make the abortive attempt to expand their lovely petals and beautiful shades of coloring, they have only the mottled shades of liver sausage and the form of flower that could be imagined after pass- ing through a sickness of St. Vitus' dance and general debility. It may not be out of place just here to say that two of our local florists had, in September last, as fine a lot of cycla- men plants as the writer has ever seen: a most vigorous leaf growth and very large plants, but not a perfect flower. I understand it is neither aphis, thrips or red spider, but a minute mite. I wish I could prescribe a remedy, but I cannot. Let us hear from someone who has over- come this pest. We have escaped so far, and this leads me to say that as the little seedling plants are now, or soon will be in 2- inch pots, or transplanted from the seed pans into other pans or small flats, it is most desirable to surround them with to- bacco stems, and renew the stems when- ever they begin to decay. This is not enough, although a great help. Fumiga- tion, either by burning stems or dust, or vaporizing nicotine, must be faithfully done. Perfectly light position, where they can get the benefit of ventilation, when possible, and a fine spraying on bright mornings, is the place for these little plants for the next two months, with about 55 degrees at night. Salvia Splendens. In answer to a correspondent, I have something to say about Salvia splen- dens. This brilliant, late summer and fall-flowering plant has been growing in favor at a rapid rate for the past few years. Where ten years ago we grew dozens, we now want hundreds. I can recall a delightful ride a few years ago, through and about the lovely home of Germantown, Lansdowne and other suburbs of Philadelphia, and ev- erywhere as a margin to shrubbery or a border beneath a veranda were masses of the scarlet sage. I can scarcely think of any flowering plant that would have settles spider, and greenfly in the house is one of the unpardonable sins. You may think this is a good deal of talk iov so common a plant, but its growing popularity warrants it. Lemon Verbena. Lemon verbena is another favorite plant that is often diflicult to procure if you have missed growing it. How- ever modest may be the little garden, this sweet scented plant is sure to be one of those wanted. Plants that grew in 4- inch pots plunged outside last summer and which have been resting beneath the bench since November, should now be started up. Shake oft' the old soil and repot. Ti'im back the unripened ends of the shoots and put them into a night temperature of 55 to 00 degrees, with a daily spraying, and you will get all the cuttings you need. If kept daily wa- tered in the sand they will root as easily as a chrysanthemum. The lemon ver- bena will make more growth in a mild hotbed in three or four weeks of April or May than it will in three months in the greenhouse. Primula Obcocica. Primula obconica is likely to be a useful Easter plant this year, as Easter is so early. It took years for this beau- tiful plant to become widely popular. Pretty as the Chinese primulas are, ob- conica eclipses them in every way as :i commercial plant. There is a note in last week's Review regarding its poison- ous properties, and a remedy where it does poison. The writer has always con- Primula Obconica. the same cheerful and seasonable effect. Have plenty of them. Shift and grow on the cuttings you have now struck and from them you will get plenty more. There are some decided improvements over the old type. A rather dwarfer growth and early flowering are what is sought. St. Louis has these qualities and is a great improvement over the old type. Red spider and greenfly are the enemies of this very free growing plant. It delights in being svringed and that sidered the poisoning qualities of this plant as largely a ghost story, yet there must be something in it. On inquiry I find that of at least ten men and boys, only two have complained that their epi- dermis was irritated by it. One of our lady florists on Main sti-eet is so affected by it that she can't endure an obconica in her store, but then we have known ladies to have a dread of harmless crea- tures. We well remember a most amia- ble spinster of mature years who ran 548 The Weekly Florists* Review. Februarv 11, 1904. screauiiiifr into the house if she saw a butterfly in ^he garden. This "primula has been so marvelonsly improved that we now have from white through sliades of lavender and blue to rosy pink, and "florets one and one-half inches in diameter and twelve to four- teen on a truss," is no exaggeratiim. So procure the best strain of seed that is to be bought and sow early in March. Sown early, they have time to make good stout plants before the dark days set in. Boston Ferns. There seems to be constant demand for Boston ferns of every size, and fre- quently for plants that have a spread of fronds four or five feet across. This sounds like a very large plant, but it really is not so very large, as you will discover if you measure a plant. \Mien there is a graceful droop to the older fronds they are also much preferred. You may not have such plants, but you can manufacture a few dozen and have them ready for a later date. Few ferns or plants " of any kind so well endure the disturbance of their roots as this nephrolepis, yet it is not quite right to make up a pot or pan of these ferns and sell it the same day, or the same week. Three good 5-ineh pot plants put into a 9 or 10-inch azalea pot now and raised up so that the fronds can spread and droop, will make grand plants in two or three months. Tliere is always some- thing you can grow beneath these "ped- estal" plants. Small plants of the same thing would be all right there. A Few Brief Reminders. Look out for the young growths on azaleas, which, if not kept pulled off. ■will take all the strength from the flower bud and it will perish. Sow verbena seed now. They will be more healthy and vigorous than plants from cuttings and a bed of mixed ver- benas is quite as pretty as one of all one color. houses are in the vicinity of extensive limestone quarries, where the stone is ground up for some purposes as fine as coarse sand, has for the past two years used this material for propagating with the most unqualified success. It is abso- lutely clear of all earthy substances, which sand, either pit or lake shore, sel- dom is. He thinks it far superior for all kinds of cuttings to sand of any quality. He adds that directly after cuttings are rooted they should be potted off, for growth is very rapid in this limestone. This may be no news to some of your readers, but knowing that in some localities sand of any kind is difficult to procure and you may be next door to a limestone quarry, I thought I would mention the fact. This material can be bought of the firm by the car- load. WrLLi.\5i Scott. CARNATION NOTES— EAST. Feeding Again. As stated in my last notes, there are a few things in connection with feeding about which it may be well to add a few words. There are various mixtures which might be recommended as benefic- ial and profitable to use in the operation of feeding, but it is impossible, not know- ing the nature and mechanical condition of the different soils in which carna- tions are grown, to give minute direc- tions as to what is most suitable to use; however, it is hoped in these remarks that I may furnish food for thought. In studying the behavior of different varieties in soil that is practically uni- form in every quality, it will be noticed that while some give good returns others are behind in productiveness, size of bloom and general appearance of health, or perhaps there is a disposition to be grassy. This point I wish to bring to your direct attention as demanding in- telligent thought when the matter of feeding is being considered, and I may House of John Murchie's New White Carnation, Fred Burki. As the season advances the tulips and daffodils will want less heat ar i less shade to produce a good stem and better flower. In a night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees Azalea mollis and Pyrus japoni- ca will want four weeks to be right for Easter. Lilacs and Prunus triloba about five weeks. Dutzia gracilis seven weeks. Propagating Bench Material. A neighbor of mine. C. E. Foss, whose include soil preparation, too, for al- though the term feeding is generally un- derstood to mean the use of liquid man- ure, it must be admitted that growing plants require and are feeding con- stantly. It is only by close observation that one can decide what a variety is most partial to and at what time the differ- ent fertilizing elements in the soil are likely to become lacking or out of pro- portion. The fact that the beds have leceived repeated applications of liquid food does not by any means justify a grower in saying his plants have not suf- fered from lack of nourishment. It may be true that plenty of nourishment was given but the vital question is, have the dift'erent fertilizing elements been sup- plied in proportion to maintain condi- tions conducive to the production of bloom in paying quantities? I might say in answer that the chances are too much of one certain element has been used, particularly at a time when some- thing else should have been more in evi- dence. To illustrate, let us suppose a variety to have given good returns up to this time but indications point to an off crop period ahead. If the plants are healthy and show plenty of shoots coming along for future development of bloom, one would naturally decide that nitrogen was most needed, but if the variety is natttrally grassy you would be careful that it was not supplied in maximtnn doses or at frequent intervals. As the shoots advance and signs of stem ap- pear, potash will be wanted. Later phosphorus is needed to properly develop the flower. This is only one case, btit every grower can learn the elements most in evidence in each manure or fertilizer and by ob- servation during daily association with his plants, be reasonably sure of mak- ing a variation in the composition of his liquid manure to fit his particular case, remembering that stiff soils retain fertil- izing elements much f)etter than those of light texture. Geo. S. Osbor??. CARNATION NOTES— WEST. Late Cuttings. If you for some reason fail to take as many carnation cuttings out of the prop- agating bench as you need for next sea- son's planting it is not too late to take good cuttings of most varieties, with a good chance of making good plants by housing time. In fact, many growers prefer ctittings taken between January 1.3 and February 15 and some varieties tliat naturally grow very rank and rath- er soft will do better when propagated a little late. Such varieties will take hold better if the plants are only medium in size. Norway is a good example. The first year we had fine large plants, but they stiffered severely and it was late in winter before they were really what they should have been. At the carnation con- vention Messrs, H. Weber & Sons showed a vase of blooms that beat everything else in the 100 white class and Mr. Web- er told me they were grown from March cuttings. There are not many of these varieties, however, and as a rule I favor the earlier cuttings if I can get them. Every grower knows full well that he should plant out about twice as many plants as he wishes to house in the fall if he wants to fill his benches with good, healthy plants. That means at least twice as many cuttings as you want plants to house. We are sometimes asked as to the ad- visability of using the propagating sand twice. If there is any sign of fungus you would better not risk using the sand again. Take it all out, wash the boards off and give a heavy coat of hot lime wash and use fresh sand. If the cuttings rooted well, with no sign of damping off. we take off about one-half to two-thirds of the sand and put that much fresh KEUKUAr.v 11, 1904.

The sun is getting stronger and on bright days the houses get quite warm and wilting is more apt to follow. When the ventilators are up be careful of draughts. A. F. J. Baur. PETER FISHER ON STEM ROT. [The following are the remarks of Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass., before the New York Florists' Club, February 8.] In looking up a subject for a short paper on the carnation, I thought noth- ing could be more appropriate at this season of the j'ear than a discussion of extremely early propagation, as related to stem-rot, and its probable causes. And 1 offer a few suggestions as a means of pieventing or minimizing the ravages of this, the deadliest of all carnation dis- eases. During the last summer stem-rot has been most prevalent in the east, especi- ally through Long Island, central New York and Pennsylvania. Many of the largest growers have lost their stock by the thousands, both in the field and after being planted indoors and the financial loss has been extremely heavy. That climatic conditions had much to do with this there is no doubt and with outdoor culture we, in future years, are just as liable to a recurrence of the disastrous results of the past season. This sug- gests to me the question, wherein lies the remedy? During the past five years or so you have dtaubtless observed the growing tendency toward earlier propagation and planting. Sis or eight years ago early August to September 20 was considered about the right time to bench carnations from the field. The method as adopted at present is July planting from the field, finishing as early as possible in August. In some cases indoor culture is almost exclusively adopted, usually benching in May and June, and where space is available I have known some cases where the plants were benched in February with splendid results. I was much interested on looking over an old trade price list of Fred Dorner, that veteran carnationist, to whom we owe so much, to find him offering his novelties with distribution commencing April 1. Think of it! \Miat do we find today? Xearly every buyer wants early January delivery. 9ome will gladly ac- cept their cuttings in December and should orders remain unfilled until March 15 they are liable to cancellation. The points I want to bring up are these. Is this increasing tendency to- wards extremely early propagation anl planting for or against the best develop- ment and longevity of the carnation, and is there not in this a probable cause for so much stem-rot, especially where field culture is practiced ? Where the intention is to adopt in- door culture entirely, I believe in early propagation, potting off the cuttings in January or early February, commencing with 2 and 2%-inch pots and re-potting into 3. 3^-2 and 4-ineh as the case re- quires, but never allowing the plants to get stunted or pot-bound. Such early stock ought to be benched not later than May and. if space permits. April would give better results, insuring strong root action before the extremely hot weather sets in. Cuttings taken a month later can be benched during Mav and June. t'^'--HVJi:% The New Adiantum Croweanum. This method has many advantages over planting January stock in the field dur- ing April or early May and then lifting and benching it in July, because those early cuttings often get pot-bound and stunted before being planted out. The balls, being full of roots, become hard and should the weather be warm and dry for some weeks after planting they dr.y out and wilt and this condition, fol- lowed by hea\'y rains, is the first step toward a severe loss from stem-rot, as the plants are in no condition to absorb the surplus of moisture. A later batch of the same variety, that has not been pot -bound and abused before being plant- ed out, will pull through often with little loss, while cuttings of the same sort potted off, say in April and set in the field, will often make better stock than either of the earlier lots, with lit- tle or no loss from stem-rot. This proves to me that much of the trouble is caused from the stock being allowed to become stunted, pot-bound and abused before being planted out. and herein lies one of the greatest dangers in extremely early propagation. If you do not intend this stock for early plant- ing, indoor culture, it is much safer to use a later lot of cuttings for planting out and benching during .July or early August. My experience has been that if a batch of cuttings once gets extremely dry and wilted, either in the sand or after being potted or put in flats, better throw them awaj". They never recover from the check and are sure to be a source of trouble and disappointment later. Avoid extremes. I believe, for field culture. February and March cuttings preferable to December or January stock and if you cannot house your slock before August, cuttings taken from sand early in April will give grand results. Of course this refers to good, free-growing sorts. Some that develop more slowly need earlier propagation and planting. The one great drawback to indoor cul- ture with the average florist is that he cannot afford to throw out plants that are giving abundance of bloom at a min- imum cost of production during the early summer months. Yet I believe the time is not far distant when, with properly constructed houses, the carna- tion, like the chrysanthemum, will be grown indoors exclusively. There is too much risk attached to planting out in the field, new and valuable stock to he at the mercy of our variable climate. The experiences of the past will only tend to spur us on to devise means by which we shall yet overcome the diffi- culties and uncertainties of our present mode of culture. I believe, for all indoor culture, in wide carnation houses, running north and south, even span, thirty-three feet wide, with five benches, each four feet wide. This admits of a better circulation of air than can be obtained on a 5-foot bench. Height of side walls five feet, three feet being glass; ridge fifteen feet high, with continuous top ventilation on each side, thirty inches in width, also side ventilators to be used judiciously. You will find a house running north and south much cooler and better during the hot summer months than one running east and west and, all things taken into consideration the loss from this aspect during winter is scarcely noticeable in a large, light structure. NOT FEASIBLE. Will carnations planted in solid beds three inches each way the first of April and replanted ten inches each way early in July, do as well as if they were plant- ed ten inches each way in the first place? C. W. I would say decidedly, no. I would not think of planting carnations on a liench and lifting them in July. I would far rather plant them in the field until that time, but if you want to grow them indoors all sinnmer I would advise you to keep them in pots and shift as they need it luitil you can clear the benches or beds for them. You would find that when planted on the bed the plants would 550 The Weekly Florists' Review. Feerdaey 11, 1904. make a strong, soft growth and would suffer severely if transplanted in the heat of summer. When grown in pots they grow harder, and for this reason and the fact that the roots need not be torn in transplanting they take hold more readily and suffer less when plant- ed from pots. The best wav of all, if you can get the room, is to plant in April or early May right where the plants are to remain the next winter. This does away with that midsummer transplanting which is al- w-ays a trying ordeal for the plants, but it cannot always be done except in new- ly built houses, as very few growers are willing to throw out their blooming plants by May 1. A. F. J. Baur. WE AND OUR field; By William J. Stewart, of Boston, Mass. Secretary Society of American Florists. Our Right by Usage. A transposition in the title of this dissertation might betoken a commenda- ble modesty. The typical gardener or florist has, however, always been a some- what aggressive and self-complacent in- dividual. Like the Ayrshire farmer and his wife, one is "Aye richt" and the other "Never wrang." Even before that memorable uprising which resulted in the establishment of our powerful national society — when our interests in all hor- ticultural activities were usually subor- dinated to those of the farmer and the fruit nurseryman — even then the shib- boleth of the craft was "Wha's like us?" "Naebody!" And the less a man knew the more emphatic, oftentimes, his dec- laration. I once read of an encounter on the Delaware between a magnificent steamer and a grimy coal lighter. Officer — "Clear out of the way with that barge." Lighterman — "Are ye the captain av that vessel?" Officer— "No." Lighterman — "Then spake to yer equals; I'm the captain of this." The gorgeous self-sufficiency of some of our oldtime champions overshadows that lighterman's inflation as complete- ly as Philadelphia's bowling record eclipses that of some of her chesty rivals, and since the race is yet far from ex- tinct we shall, in conformity to usage, talk first of ourselves, and then of our field and how we may cultivate it. Basis for Our Pretensions. That we have some basis for our pre- tensions, the vastly enhanced prominence which our art and its literature (not to mention our sporting prowess) have at- tained during the last two decades, stands in evidence. Tlie deduction that we are destined to become of yet greater conse- quence will doubtless pass undisputed, but mere theoretical conclusions have little value and these boasts of future ascendency which we have a habit of making are often little more than hollow generalities in support of which, if pressed for a specific forecast, we might find it difficult to put up a convincing argument. Recognizing in ourselves the connect- ing link betw^een tlie past which we know and the future which we know not, it is healthy to ask ourselves often how well we are filling the places of the sturdy pi- oneers whose heritage we enjoy, and to make it our constant aim to so shape our course that posterity shall see in us a pattern to imitate and not an example •Abstract of a paper read before the Florists' Club of Pbiladelphia, February 2. 1904. to deter. If we are to prove worthy successors of a distinguished ancestry, the masterly proficiency of Harris, the sagacity of Henderson, the noble sim- plicity of Cartledge, the intensity of Mc- nand, the tenacity of Wood, and the sun- ny kindliness of Halliday must find their counterpart in the leaders of today, and we should strive that nothing be lost, either in amplitude or potentiality, of the eminent qualities so well exemplified in the character and lives of these hon- ored men. A Pause to Reverence. Our reverence for old age should, how- ever, cease at the door of the rose cellar and, while we should emulate the ex- ample and recognize the genius of the old masters, there are problems arising daily, as new elements intrude them- selves within our sphere, which bring us to a realization that while the prin- ciples actuating them were of the sterling kind, success today may demand a some- what different application of them. We have with us now the Greek who cares not whether plants are fed on water or on carbolic acid, but who, after si.x months in our country, knows the cut flower market better than do many of our craftsmen who have spent a life- time in the business, and, on the other hand, we find the man who can grow violets or carnations of a quality hither- to undreamt of, but who, somehow, can- not understand why blooms with whisk- ers on them can't be sold at Christmas for three times what they were worth three weeks earlier, before their whiskers started out. Where shall we strike the balance be- tween the dear soul who loves his pro- fession more than its emoluments, who can say in all truth — Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe. Thou foundst me poor at first and keepst me so, and the latter-day flower-factory man in whose transactions sentiment has no place, to whom a blossom is handsome only when going out of the door on the order of a cash customer and who would not hesitate tn accelerate with a brisk movement of his boot the exit of any flower, however beautiful in itself, the moment it should transpire that there was no pecuniary profit in it? "Birds of a Feather." I am persuaded that a goodly portion of the comfort and joy of a horticul- turist's existence comes from his gregari- ous instincts. One of the most forlorn creatures in the world is the gardener so isolated that he is prevented from as- sociating with his fellow gardeners, and almost pathetic is the keen delight evinced by one long shut out, when cir- cumstances bring him in contact with old friends in the profession, "drinking it all in and life never seemed so full before." Study this marked character- istic of the craft and you will discover that the most contented as well as most progressive florists are usually found in those communities where ample facilities are afforded for flocking together. Thus the cohesive influence of our fraternal in- stitutions is a boon which we should, in this era of specialization, prize most highly. Its value as an offset to the dis- integrating forces now at work can hard- ly be overestimated. It begins to dawn upon us that the S. A. F., with its stim- ulus to the fraternal sentiments, came upon the scene at a most opportune time, and we applaud the rare discernment shown by her Philadelphia offspring in respect to providing abundant induce- ment for comradeship which has its time- ly reward in the unparalleled prosperity which this club enjoys, and is sure to continue to enjoy, at least so long as John Westcott's buffet keeps on doing business. Our Field. It is a big field and a fertile one, as wide as vegetation extends, as broad as human sympathy, as deep as roots can penetrate the earth or love the heart, as lofty as the tallest trees can grow or no- ble sentiment aspire, a field in which to cultivate the intellectual faculties as well as material vegetation. Ours a call- ing more ancient and honorable than any other pursued by mankind, whose mission it is to soften the asperities of life, to develop the best in humanity and clothe the world in beauty, whose ad- herents are fellow-workers with nature herself. "God the first garden made; the first city, Cain." Are we occupying this fair field to fullest advantage? 'To do so we must be wideawake to its broader possibilities and take care that narrow vision and trivial controversies are not permitted to limit and monopolize our attention. The great expansion of our business and the influx of capital in certain branches have brought about changed conditions and evolved new problems. How shall we meet them? How successfully elude perils that seem to threaten and which especially concern those working hither- to on a small scale and subject to that most uncomfortable disease, lack of money? Our development has been so many-sided and on such varied lines that our aggregate interests, at flr.st simple and closely akin, now rapidly grow com- plex and diverse. Thus disintegrating forces lead us into divergent paths, the circles widening as our diversified branches multiply. We see the situa- tion through dissimilar eyes, until 'Tis with our judgments as our watches — none- Go Just alike, yet each belieyes bis own. Admitting that no two of us are likely to quite agree in what direction the greatest measure of welMieing presents itself, it seems to nie that those who have cultivated broad habits of visiom who have perceived their business not so much in its essence as through its ef- fects, will agree that the time has gone forever when things can be successfully run as the foolhardy skipper sailed his schooner. "By luck, by God and the moonlight." and that insight, economy and foresight are three cardinal virtues to be henceforth zealouslv cultivated by i'BBEUAnY 11, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review, 551 the florist, whatever his particular line may be. The Christmas Story. Without trespassing too far in the di- rection of special questions, which I have purposely avoided in this paper, let us for a moment turn to that most vital problem of the cut flower industry, the distribution of the produce. At the re- cent holiday time we learned from sun- dry suburban and country papers that the scarcity of flowers for Christmas was unprecedented. "On Christmas eve there was not a rose or carnation of any kind to be purchased in the city," was a sort of stock item all along the line. Why is it that we find florists reporting a holiday famine in towns within an hour's ride of New York city, while growers' cellars and wholesalers' refrigerators are bulging with unsold stock and, perchance, the curbstone stands in the city heaping with flowers of varying ages at a few cents a bunch? In reply to that question we shall avail ourselves of the Yankee's birth- right and answer by asking another: "Why a higher price on flowers at Christmas?" If Jostled, Move Up. I take it that, in a profession so com- prehensive in scope, no necessity exists for long-continued overproduction on any special line. If fortune be unstable our will is free. Wlien you find your- self overcrowded and jostled in your specialty, just watch your opportunity and move up. There is always room at the top. No place is so well con- ducted that some material increase in ef- ficiency is impossible; no plant or flower now popular is so universally well grown that somebody cannot do it still better. The list of good subjects as yet in ob- scurity, that may be made popular, i^ practically unlimited and there is abun- dant latitude for talent and industry in the establishment of improved strains of scores of things that have thus far scarcely been touched. As wealth and refinement increase, the demand for conservatories grows apace ; well grown stock for the filling of such places, in the hands of a well managed concern, is as good as government bonds. So rapidly has this fever for beautiful home grounds and gardens spread in this country that the call for choice planting material far exceeds the stock available here and even foreign sources are being rapidly denuded. Only a few days ago a friend, desirous of constructing a rose garden, complained to me of inability to procure the stock he required. Choice lilacs on their own roots, well grown conifers in reliably hardy varieties, nur- sery-grown kalmias, and similar things are wanted. Where are they? Where can the stock for one substantial plan- tation of hardy rhododendrons, or for a house of foreign grapes, or good plants of the finer peonies, in a business way, be found ? The Need of Brains. Every sign points to a glorious open- ing for the immediate future for the in- telligent gardener with high aspirations and a determination to excel. There is scarcely a line, no matter how unpromis- ing it looks, that will not respond in a profitable way when you put brains into it. While it is true that the worst bowler on the alley may sometimes make the first ten-strike in the game, and that the chance hybridizer may turn up a Calanthe Veitchii. carnation or a chrysanthemum that will sweep the field, yet it is a safe proposi- tion always that in the long run the ex- pert will distance the common throng. The young man who takes up horticul- ture as a calling today, if endowed with common sense and zeal, will not be con- tent to settle into any branch, however lucrative for the moment, which oifers the novice an even chance to locate at his elbow and become a dangerous rival. Think you that Peter Fisher lies awake nights fretting over the possibility of somebody showing up to skim the cream off his carnation milk? Tom Roland can sell ten times as many Lorraine be- gonias as he can produce, year after year. M. H. Walsh hasn't seen rose hybridiza- tion run into the ground just yet, and Tom Butterworth will be a centenarian before he sees a flower-factory able to compete in his specialty of orchid grow- ing. Numerous similar illustrations of my point might be cited and will no doubt come to the minds of all. BALTIMORE FLORISTS SAFE. On Sunday and Monday, February^ 7 and 8, the city of Baltimore was vis- ited by the most disastrous conflagra- tion which has visited any city of the world since the great Chicago fire. Two square miles of the citv were destroved, entailing a loss of $125,000,000. The territory burned was principally the wholesale district and a telegram from W. B. Sands, dated February 10, says, "No florist even damaged." CALANTHES. We are always much interested in Mr. Scott's "Seasonable Hints," which are ever practical and helpful, just what the busy gardener and florist needs. We read with special interest his orchid notes in the last issue of January. In speaking of calanthes, Mr. Scott makes some statements which would lead us to suppose that his meth- od of culture for these beautiful and popular winter blooming orchids is de- cidedly out of the common. His re- marks refer, we presume, to Calanthe Veitchii, for he states this to be the most popular species. Mr. Scott says: "They are, or soon will be, out of flower. When started the latter part of September or Octo- ber they begin to make the growth, which will form the bulb for another year." Does Mr. Scott make a habit of starting his calanthes as late as Sep- tember and still get flowers for Christ- mas? We read further, "after the flower is cut, growth must be encour- aged and continued until the bulb is fully developed, which may be the mid- dle of April." May we ask Mr. Scott what growth is to be encouraged, see- ing that Calanthe Veitchii is deciduous at its flowering season and that the bulbs are also fully matured? What good object is to be attained by giving liquid manure "from now on for the next few months" to flowerless and leafless bulbs? We would like Mr. Scott to more ful- ly describe the culture of calanthes. We have always found it necessary to start them about the end of March in flats and pot as soon as gi-owths were about two inches long. We have found, in addition, that it took some seven or eight months to flower our bulbs, for we rarely have any open before Thanksgiving and still have some spikes to cut. Now, if Mr. Scott can assure us that by giving liquid manure for a few months longer and then rest- ing our bulbs ' ' in any warm comer un- til September and kept absolutely dry" we may still achieve good results, what a saving in time and worry can be made. New discoveries of startling moment are being frequently made in this stren- uous age. Having taught us how to grow and flower calanthes in three months, cannot you wave the wizard's wand. Brother Scott, and induce the fractious cattleyas, Iselias, odontoglos- sums, phalfenopsis and kindred spirits to vield to your magic touch? The or- chid cultivators will then place you on a far higher pinnacle of fame than the discoverers of wireless telegraphy and radium. W. N. Craig. 552 The Weekly Florists* Review^ Februaky 11, 1904. ROSES. Feeding;. The soil in Ihe bGiiohes being liniitcil in quantity and the plants having 1)p.'11 giving crops during the winter, the heavy growth must have extracted from the soil the main constituent part.^ which go to form the plant and left it more or less exhausted and in no condition to supply the elements necessary to a jood spring growth, which will shortly com- mence. As we cannot renew the soil at this season we must have recourse to some other method of supplying the plants with the necessary food and in such proportions as the needs of the plants demand. And in order that the plnnts may derive the full benefit of this new supply it should be presented to them in a form which is easily assimilated, at the proper season and in suitable quan- tities. These foods, to be easily and quickly assimilated, must be reduced to a state of fluidity, or in the form of gas or air. The main object, therefore, to be at- tained should be to afford as much 'jolu- ble matter to the roots of the plants as possible, and in a slow and gradual manner, so that it may be entirely con- sumed in forming the soft and organic parts, leaving no residue to sour the rest of the soil. This can be accomplished by using de- composed cow manure, which contains the essential elements in nearly ihe right proportions, and can be applied either in the foi-m of a mulch, which the necessary waterings will convert into the fluid form, or by applying direct as a liquid. If applied as a mulch in a pure st.Ue it is apt to dry during the bright >uu- shine and this makes it so light that subsequent waterings serve to displace it. Mixing it with one-third of its bulk of good fresh loam gives it more solidity. The whole should be rather finely pul- verized, as it is more usable in that form than if laid on in big chunks. A spiinkling of bone flour added to this compost is also beneficial. This mulch also serves a double pur- pose by protecting the feeding roots, which approach the surface, and keeping them from sudden variations of temper- ature. It also prevents the soil from cracking when warm weather sets in. Liquid manure, being ready for im- mediate absorption, is most effectually employed when the roots are in an active state and in want of a stimulant to as- sist in the development of a crop. T!ie best stage to begin with this is when the young growths are from four to six inches in length and it can be applied onee a w-eek till the buds show color. Wood ashes being usually rich in pot- ash, is also a very desirable manure, giv- ing wiriness to the stem and adding brilliancy to the coloring of the petals, but being of a strong nature requires caution in its use. It is always safer to use these concentrated foods in small quantities, even though it must be done more frequently. Xiiquor of anmionia has also a very beneficial effect as a stimulant, but should not be used frequently, as it has a very softening effect on the foliage. Its strength should never exceed one ounce to four gallons of water. For soils deficient in lime, a little should be used occasionally, but we should be quite certain that it is needed before applying it, as an excess is often very injurious. ElBES. TROUBLE WITH YOUNG STOCK. We are having trouble to keep our yoiuig roses growing. They have fine "roots and start nicely. The roots turn brown. We have them on the nortli bench in a rose house. Tlie temperature has been as low as 52 degrees. There are two pipes under the bench and the pots are plunged in coal ashes. M. B. L. Even though the temperature does get down occasionally as low as 52 degrees, this would not .iccount for the failure. If the cuttings are well rooted and not allowed to stand in tlic sand to become too large and overripe, and potted into 2-:nch standards, they ought to do well. Totting in soil con'.aining too much ma- nure or other fertilizer would have the efl'ect of sickening and rotting the roots. Young rose stock does not require jilur.^- ing; in fact, they rarely do well if treated in this way. Smooth down the ashes and place the pots on top, water carefully and shade during very bright sunshine for the first five days after pot- ting, and while they may not grow quite so rapidly at 52 as they would at 50 degrees, they will, all other conditions being right, certainly retain their health and start into growth as the weather gets warmer. Eibes. TROUBLE WITH VIOLETS. Under separate cover we send two vio- let plants, can you tell us what is the matter with them? About half of one of our houses has gone like this since Christmas. The plants are growing in solid beds twenty-four inches from the ground, with good drainage. Note the color of the tips of the buds; they look as though they had been burned with smoke, but we have not fumigated in six weeks. We give them 42 to 45 de- grees at night and 55 to 58 degrees in day time with air on. Will they grow out of it by Easter? A. B. C. Unfortunately, I was away from home when the plants came to hand, making it hard to determine just what is their trouble, but in our experience there are several things conducive to the condition described. Are you certain that the tem- peratures mentioned have been main- tained all the time, or have there been one or two occasions that the house has been overlooked and the temperature al- lowed to run up and then the ventilators thrown open wide, with a consequent very sudden lowering of the tempera- ture, and a strong draught of very cold air falling directly on the plants affect- ed ? And, again, while the beds are raised twenty-four inches, this does not always insure good drainage, even though it would naturally seem as if it should, for I have known beds as high as three feet, in a sandy soil and only about two and one-half feet wide, where they caught some drip, to become so soggy that this, coupled with heavy airing, would cause the plants to look as described. Then, again, A. B. C. says they have not fumi- gated in six. weeks, but he does not say how soon the buds looked like this after fumigating. The injury is not always apparent at once. StiU another thing will cause plants to look forlorn and the buds white at the tips and spotted, and that is black aphis. Of course, I take it that A. B, C. knows if he has this pest in the house, and, if so, my advice would be to puU and burn the plants at this time of the year and put in some spring crop, as they would never recover, even with severe measures, to be at all profitable for Eas- ter; in fact, unless they pick up very soon I should consider this the better way, whatever the trouble, as a plant that is out of health as late in the season as this is a very questionable article for profit, and especially so in violet plants, as they do not as readily respond to doc- toring as do some other plants.

A correspondent raises the question of the propagation of dahlias, asking if dahlia roots produced from cuttings are equal to those produced from a division of the roots ?

Butte. iloNT. — The Montana Florists' Club held its semi-annual meeting Jan- uary 15. electing the following officers: Pi-esident, Elmer Law; vice-president, Edward Willoughby; secretary, Sylvester Hansen: treasurer, V. Siegel. The club has now been in existence about a year and the membership is steadily increas- The Market. The market has held remarkably steady tor a week, with a tendency to improvement. This encouraging condi- tion may be fairly depended upon until Lent begins, and anyway Lent is grad- ually ceasing to be a factor in deter- mining the value of flowers and there is no good reason whj- business should not be as good as it is at present until after Easter, which it would be wise to bear in mind is only seven weeks away. The past week was crowded with din- ners and receptions and the charity ball and the Arion used great quantities of cut flowers. Business with some of the Broadway florists on these occa- sions lasted well into the early morning. The funeral of William C. AVhitney was an occasion for floral tributes, the quan- tity and like of which have seldom been equaled. Over twenty wagon loads of the choicest flowers were used at this funeral and nearly every first class florist had his share of the work. The church was decorated with immense palms, by the Eosery Uompany, and the floral tributes from all sources were also arranged in the chancel. The pall of valley and violets was the work of Arthur Merritt. An enormous wreath of white orchids and an immense cross of violets were the most striking and beautiful of the set pieces. The de- mand for orchids of all kinds was enor- mous and the market was depleted. Special Beauties held steadily all the week at 50 cents and occasionally a few of the finest Maids and Brides touched 20 cents, although 15 cents was top price with the majority. The best Lib- erties sold at 40 cents to 50 cents and some superb stock of this variety is in the market. Violets failed, even in special lots, to go above the dollar mark; 50 to 75 cents is the prevailing price for the best stock and thousands of flowers cannot command over 25 cents per 100. Carnations barely hold their owti at last week's quotations. The exhibit at the club may awaken greater interest and possibly boom the specialties, some grand stock of which is seen. Bulbous stock is very abun- dant. Valley goes slowly at reduced prices. Lilies seem to be more in de- maud and good values prevail. Qufa Meeting. Carnation night at the New York Florists' Club brought an attendance of over 200, including about fifty ladies. The attendance of visitors from a dis- tance was especially encouraging. Eose night, a month hence, will find the rooms too small for the attendance, judging i)v the grand success of Monday even- ins?. Patrick Welch, of Boston; T. J. Johnston and wife, of Prqyidence; Pe- ter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass.; M. A. Pat- ten, of Tewksbury, Mass.; E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa.; Peter Duff, of Orange, and E. W. Xewbrand, of Tarrytown, were among the visitors. A lunch was served to the ladies, the canteen was well patronized and there was enough and to spare for all. The vaudevi' entertainment was good and every lady was handsomely decorated by the liber- al exhibitors when the general distribu- tion of the exhibits was made at the close of the entertainment. Over 2,000 flowers were staged. The Cottage Gardens had over 100 varieties, all Mr. Ward's own seedlings, except Prosperity and Enchantress. No. 144, a white seedling shown by Dailiedouze Bros., to be sent out in 1906, received special commendation. Scott's nephro- lepis, in 7, 8 and 14-ineh pots, were grand specimens of the new fern and attracted much attention, as did also six splendid pots of Adiuntum Farleyensa trom A. X. Pierson. The exhibits from Baur & Smith, of Indianapolis, and the Thompson Company were unfortunately frozen in transit. The carnation exhibits included Adonis and Vesper, from Craig & Son; Helen Eeid, from William Didden, Phi- adelphia; Mrs. Patten, from Patten &, Co., Tewksbury; a red seedling from C. J. 'Thorp, of Bedford Station; Albatross and Flamingo, from L. E. Marquisee: Oov. Odell, from A. & L. Pathey, Bay Shore; Amaze and some seedlings from J. A. Suydam; J. E. Haines, Star of Bethlehem, Juno p.nd No. 77, from J. E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa.; Gcmez, Law- son and some seedlings from John Beimels, Woodhaven; Alpine Glow, Oc- toroon, Ethel Ward, Enchantress, No. 303, Sensation, No. 622, Judge Hins- dale, Mackinac, Prosperity, Wliite Roosevelt, Mrs. J. A. Thayer and a large collection of seedling.^ from the Cottage Gardens; the Cardinal from E. Witterstaetter, Cincinnati; a white seedling from L. E. Small, Tewksbury; Nelson Fisher and Mrs, Patten, from Peter Fisher; Yorkston, from J. E. Krayer, Villa Nova, Pa. ; Mrs. Patten, from M. A. Patten; Bride, from J. N. May; No. 144, from Dailiedouze Bros.; Daheim, Adonis, White .Lawson and Enchantress, from F. E. Pierson Com- pany, Tarrytown. There were freesias from J. A. Shellem and Eudolph Fish- er, ferns from A. N. llerson and John Scott. Peter Fisher's paper on stem-rot, the deadliest of all carnation diseases, was of great interest and held the attention of all. Mr. Fisher paid his respects to Messrs. Ward. Craig and Scott and in- troduced his subject in his usual happy vein. He was followed by Eobert Craig, of Philadelphia, in one of his delight- ful addresses. He complimented the clu'r> oji the attractive display and the value of the exhibition. It was one of his most polished efforts and stamps him as the Demosthenes of the profession. Mr. Ward followed in a practical address of much value and interest, with interest- ing criticisms and elaboration on the subject of Mr. Fisher's paper. Mr. Dail- iedouze, Mr. Haines, Mr, Patten, C. H. Allen, Harry May and Mr. O'Mara fol- lowed in brief addresses. The report of the advisory committee indicated the decision to confine exhibi- tions for 1904 to the rooms of the club. Walter Sheridan, for the dinner com- mittee, reported every arrangement made for the annual festivity at the St. Denis February 20, at 7:30, and a large num- ber of tickets already sold for the occa- sion. All the best features of former dinners may be depended on. Mr. Haff- ner reported, for the bowling -commit- tee, a warm invitation for all florists to participate in the annual prize con- test next Monday evening. The outing committee has secured the grove and boat for the annual outing June 29. The committee of awards reported a visit to the Cottage Gardens to see the seedling No. 303 and recommended the awarding of the club's certificate of merit. Six new members were elected and one pro- posed. Letters of resignation from Jul- ius Eoehrs, J. H. Troy and Rudolph As- mus were read and accepted with re- gret. 554 The Weekly Florists^ Review. FEBiaARV 11, I'JOl. Deaths in the Trade. Joseph Magill. ticasuror of the A. T. De La Mare Printing and Publishing Company, whose death from pneumonia on Friday was universally regretted, was buried on Sunday, February 7, from the Presbyterian church, Jersey City, N. J., many of his associates and friends in the trade attending. Mr. Magill was a gen- tleman of rare optimism and possessed of a sunny, cheerful nature that endeared him to all whose privilege it was to know him intimately. No higher tribute to his sterling worth can be given than that of his business associates of tlie Florists" E-Kchange, who knew him best. One of the oldest of the eastern florists, William Burgess, died Sunday. January 31, at the ripe age of 82. He was an es- pecial friend of Samuel Henshaw, who attended the funeral and to whom we are indebted for particulars of his career. His daughter has continued the business since his retirement and has a handsome store on Bedford avenue, Brooklyn. His father was the originator of the ISeesvving dahlia, in 1844, and he himself was the introducer of the Marechal Neil rose in this country. He has been a resident of Glencove for thirty years, where he con- ducted an extensive .florists' establish- ment, his reputation as a grower, es- pecially of roses and dahlias being widely kno\^^l. His later years were spent in connection with the Brooklyn park de- partment. A widow and nine children survive him. Jas. Northcote, the well-known land- scape artist, died at his residence in Brooklj'n, on Friday last. A widow, two sons and a daughter survive him. Mr. Northcote was born in England in 1822 and has lived in this country since 1858. Jackson Rcid, of Brooklyn, for many years a faithful employe of Siebrecht & Wadley, and later of Siebrecht & Son. died last week of pneumonia. He was a brother-in-law of Henry Siebrecht, Sr., and a man of rare faithfulness and in- tegrity.- Various Notes. It is rumored that one of the old es- tablished firms on Fifth avenue will shortly dissolve partnership. The new Park Commissioner Pallas re- duced the salaries of 300 employes of the park department last week. Alex. Guttman is rapidly developing an out-of-town shipping trade that makes his headquarters a lively center daily. A splendid stock of sweei. peas, Meteors, Maids, Enchantress. Lawson and Pros- jjerit}' attracted special attention last week. Saturda}' evening Wm. H. Gunthei' celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of his wedding with a banquet to his friends and a theater party at Daly's. Bowe reports a fine trade and has added to his force the well-known floral artist, Peter V. Downing, formerly of Thorley's and The Eosery. The partnership between Geo. E. Brad- shaw and John R. Hartman has been dissolved by mutual consent. Mr. Brad- shaw continues the business at the old stand and assumes all liabilities. He ex- pects to merit the continued support of all his old friends and customers of the past thirteen years. H. H. Berger & Company attribute the early shipments from Japan to that na- tions knowledge of the fact that war was inevitable. Mr. Dacre, of the disbanded Kurzman. Dacre Co., has nearly recovered from liis severe illness. The report of his dan- gerous condition was unwarranted. Victor Dorval, of Woodside, has pur- chased property at Manhasset. L. I., and will erect greenhouses there shortly. Mr. Hanft, of Thos. Young, Jr.'s Sixth avenue store, has the trade's sympathy in the loss of his mother, who died on Mon- day, February 1 . Bowline.

Austin Shaw. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. There is great activity in this, the last week of the social season. Flowers arc not very plentiful and yet there are enough of most varieties to answer all purposes. Beauties with long stems are scarce and in active demand. Myers & Samtman are producing more of these at present than any other growers. Beau- ties with medium stems are still scarcer, but shorts are plentiful. The supply of Liberty is excellent and fills the place of the mediiun grade of Beauty nicely. Car- nations are a little .scarcer, but equal to the demand. Many choice Lawsons and some I'rosperity and Enchantress may be seen. Single and double dafl'o- dils. tulips in variety and freesias are very fine; they are sold in large num- bers at moderate prices. Violets are go- ing better ; valley is splendid. Sweet peas seem to he a little over done; they are more popular toward Easter. Orchids are hard to obtain. Lilacs are more abundant. W. K. Harris is sending some splendid sprays to the Flower Market. Gardenias are coming in quite freely: the problem < certainly appears to be solved as to producing them in winter. Death of C. A. Dunn. Clarence A. Duun, head of the whole- iale commission house tliat bears his aanie. died Wednesday morning of ■>neunioiiiu after a sliort iliru'ss. Germantown Horticultural Society. The February meeting was held in Association hall last ftlonday evening. Albert Woltemate gave some ideas on the culture of orchids. George Redlcs read an interesting paper on mignonette. Tlie society is in a flourishing condition, with an active membership of about sev- enty. This is largely due to the work of Secretary Redles. who has developed the interest for horticulture among the ama- teurs and gardeners of Germantown by his interest in the efforts of each one and by his splendid talks on every branch of floral life. Not since the days of Thomas Meehan has there been such a series of interesting talks. Answers to Correspondents. Review readers are invited to send any questions relating to the culture or marketing of plants and flowers in Phila- deliAia to Phil, in care of any of the leading seed or commission houses or the Flower Market. Each question will be submitted to a competent person and answered under number. Correct name and address must always accompany in- quir}-, but will not be published. 1. — What varieties of fancy carnations have been most in demand this season? Lawson and Enchantress. Prosperity sells well but seems rather a shy bloomer. 2. — Who presided at the Institute meeting at Horticultural Hall, January 1!)? David Rust in the absence of Ed- win Lonsdale, who was confined to the house with a cold. A local paper pub- lished a picture of a fierce looking gen- tleman wielding the gavel, with the name. E. Lonsdale, underneath. The fierce- ness and the name were creatures of reportorial fancy. 3. — Why was G. C. Watson asked to speak on holiday trade before the Chi- cago Florists' Club? Mr. Watson is one of our ablest speakers; he is well- read, interested in all branches of hor- ticulture, and combines an excellent deliv- ery with a happy faculty of clearly ex- pressing his ideas. It is probable that an exponent of the possibilities of plant development was also desired. 4. — I carry my flowers from store to store, but sometimes have to sell out to the fakirs. Would the Flower Market benefit me? You would get oflice, tele- phone and delivery privileges at les« than you could secure them for by yourself, besides selling privileges. 5. — Please recommend a good com- mission man in your city to me. All the Philadelphia commission men who ad- vertise in the Review are reliable. Notes. J. F. Krayer, Villa Nova, Pa., exhilv ited a handsome carnation of Daybreal; shade. Lawson blood, before the Florists' Club last week. John A. Shellem also staged a vase of his fine freesias. Johnson & Stokes report seed busi- ness opening auspiciously. The short- age in beans is more serious than at first anticipated : not only wax, but green beans are affected and the prices are advancing sharply. Berger Bros, are receiving some good shipments of roses, violets, etc. ; they feel encouraged by the outlook. Adolph Farenwald will tell his fellow members of the Florists' Club something about the Liberty rose at the March meeting. He is cutting a great many special blooms from his two-year-old plants, borne on stout stems four to five feet long. This grade is a decided novelty, demanding a high premium in the New Y^ork market. Walter P. Stokes has improved his lily of the valley until it has reached at present a high standard of perfection due to careful selection and skillful cul- ture. He now devotes one of his houses at Moorestown especially to forcing val- ley pips, securing long stems and perfect hells evenly developed. Spring flowering plants are making their appearance in the shop windows. Azaleas have been reinforced by primroses, cinerarias, as well as daffodils and tulips. Philadelphia sympathizes deeply with Baltimore in her severe loss by con- flagration. Phil. We like the Review better than ever and would not want to do without it — ■ Wm. Dyee, Three Rivers, Mich. l''EBKI AKV 11. IIMM. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 555 CHICAGO. The Market. The iiiaiket has been more active this week than for some time past, the de- iiiaiKl, liowever, being almost entirely from out of town. City trade improves very slowly, if at all, but the .southern buyers have been callinff for larjfe i|Uan- titles of stock this week and have kept the wholesale houses completely cleaned out on shipping roses. Keceipts in this department are very light, indeed, there being very few good Beauties and not enough Brides or Maids to meet the re- <|uirenients. Red roses have been very scarce and what few Liberties have been available have brought close to Beauty prices. Meteor is almost an unknown quantit}'. although now and then a pot of this variety is seen. Several of the commission men agree on the proposition that the carnation growers are not cut- ting to within twenty or twenty-five per cent as many flowers from a given si)ace as they were at this time last year, but the receipts are ample to the require- ments, in general the stock grades very high and prices are low by comparison. As a matter of fact the fancy stock is selling so cheaply that it makes the low grades hard to sell at any price. Bulbous stock continues to be in large supply, but the better grades are selling •Hit fairly well. There is a good de- nurnd for first-class red tulips and good yellow tulips find ready buyers. Paper Whites and freesias go slowlj-. Callas have been in demand this week. The receipts of Harrisii lilies are increasing steadily and of late the stock has shown considerable improvement in quality, very fair flowers being obtainable at from •li-i "to ,$2.50 per dozen. It is noted that a good many of the bidbs are producing only one or two flowers for some of the growers and there is not much money in that. Violets are not so abundant as a few weeks ago and are affording little con- cern in the market. Smilax has become one of the few scarce items and the first of the week was selling higher tluin the light strings of asparagus, something probably never before known in this mar- ket. Orchids are in good demand. ilardi Gras at New Orleans ne.xt week should keep things going for a few days more and St. Valentine's day, February 14, ought to help the violets a bit. Club Meetings. There was a very good attendance at the regular club meeting, February 3, the growers being interested in hearing what the building material men had to say on the latest wrinkles in greenhouse construction. Several of the local firms made exhibits and Lord & Burnham Co., Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y., sent some excellent photographs, illustrating their methods of construction. R. W. King, of Toronto, was present and spoke like one who knows his subject. He is to have charge of the erection of the mil- lion feet of glass to be put up at Elmira, N. Y., by the United States Cut Flower Co. Stollery Bros, showed some fine tulips at this meeting. On Saturday evening the last of the revival meetings will be held, this time at the Diexel Cafe, which is very ac- cessibly located, at the corner of Cottage Grove avenue and Thirty-ninth street. A good program has been prepared and ev- erybody should be on hand to help give the ball another shove. It is rolling well now. Club members lia\e received tickets for distribution to their friends for the ex- hibition to be held in Handel hall next Wednesday. February 17. It is to be open to the (lublic from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. It .seems certain that there will be a good show of carnations and bulbous .stock. P. J. Ilauswirth has the arrangements in charge. The club has placed all bowling alTaii-i in the hands of a committee, consisting of P. .1. Hauswirth, George Asnius ami George Stollery, There is a meeting for practice at the Gereaux alleys on Mad- ison street every Tuesday evening. There is a good attendance, two alleys lieing placed at the disposal of the niemljers' wives. The Carnation Meeting. Chicago will be well represented at the Detroit carnation convention. It is ex- l)ected that the delegation will go down on the Wabash on the afternoon of ilarch 1. reaching Detroit the evening before the convention. In the party will lie W. N. Rudd, Jas. Hartshorne, 'C. h. Washburn. Peter Reinberg, N, J, Wietor, Leonard Kill, L, Coatsworth, Anton Then, Fritz Bahr, E, F. Winterson, P, J. Hauswirth, P. J. and J. P. Foley. Wm. Kroeschell and several others, including a number of ladies. Various Notes. C. M. Dickinson, manager of E, H, Hunt's, has been elected secretary of the National Oil Refining and Manufac- turing Co,, a million dollar corporation, which is developing a big tract of oil land in the Kern river district in Cali- fornia, Tlie concern has its general of- fices at 79 Dearborn street, Chicago, Those who have visited Poehlmann Bros.' establishment recently say their Beauties are coming on finely. They had the misfortune to get the stock in several houses frosted last fall and have ijot had much out of them, but they are now in good shape. A. H. Budlong is now in personal charge of affairs at J. A. Budlong's wholesale store. Frank Garland has leased a room on the second floor of the Atlas block, ad- joining Peter Reinberg's, to which he will remove May 1, E, F, Winter.5on Co. reports the call for fancy baskets much below last sea- son's demand and says the retailers are not using them as much as formerly. Last Saturday a water pipe burst in the Atlas block and flooded Deamud and Garland. Little damage was done. Henry Muno has left C. W. McKellar and may start a retail store or go into some other line. Henry Hansen, son of H, Hansen, the North Clark street carnation grower, and Miss Mary Smith were married yes- terday, Mr. Hansen sells his father's stock at the Growers' Market. John Hoeft has sold his retail store on North Campbell avenue to Kuehne & Pearson and will devote his attention to his greenhouses at Park Ridge. He is planning a trip to California for his health. A. L. Randall Co, is getting quantities of white lilac and very fine valley from Buettner, Bassett & Washburn have a fair cut of Liberty, and red roses are at a pre- mium, Wietor Bros, are cutting good Beau- ties, Kcnnicott's are getting in Klehm's Novelty tulip in quantify and it is sell- ing fairly well, A. C Kohlbrand, of E. C. Amling's, is ill this week. Among recent visitors were E. G. Hill, Richmond. Ind. ; Mr. Smith, of Smith & Fetters, Cleveland; Mr. Hill, of the Grand Rapids Violet Co., Grand Rapids. ST. LOUIS. The Market. We are having most beautiful weather in sj)ite of Mr, Ground Hog, who re- turned to his winter quarters after see- ing his shadow last Tuesday, Business during the last few days 'of the past week dropped oft' greatly,' The fine, clear, warm weather has brought out an abun- dance of cut flowers of all kinds and of the best quality. Prices, of course, have dropped and on Saturday good carna- tions were selling at $15 per 1,000 and $2 and $2.50 per 100 in small lots. Among them were seen Mrs. Lawson, Mrs. Nelson, Enchantress. Prosperity, Queen Louise, Wolcott and other good stock. Brides and Maids are again plen- tiful; so are Meteors, Gates and Perles. About the only scarce rose now is fancy American Beauty. Some good flower's are seen but very short stemmed. Prices on roses run from $4 to $10 per 100. Bulbous stock is moving slowly; plenty of it in the market for all demands, es- pecially Roman , hyacinths and Paper Whites. Very few Dutch hyacinths are in as yet, Harrisii are in and are sell- ing well at $12,50 and $15 per 100, Cal- las, too, are plentiful at 10 cents, Lily of the valley is very slow at 4 cents. Tulips are coming in fine, but not mov- ing as they should at 4 cents. The Nov- elty tulips at Keuhn's are fine, going at 5 cents, A big supply of California vio- lets is in the market at 50 cents per 100 and about 35 cents in 1,000 lots. Street fakirs are peddling them out at 10 cents a bunch. The green market is healthy and there is plenty of everything and especially fine asparagus and smilax, which has quite a demand. Various Notes. I paid a visit Sunday to two of our well-known florists in South St, Louis, Messrs, Fillmore and Schray. At Fill- more's I found Frank just awakening from liis afternoon nap. Everything is moving well at this place. A fine crop of callas was seen, also a large number of deep wooden boxes filled with Asparagus Sprengeri, from which thousands of sprays can be cut, A fine bench of Mrs, Nelson carnations was seen in the next house, of which Frank is very proud. For white he backs his money on the Hoosier Maid, which is by Anders Rasmus- sen, of New Albany, Ind, The flowers are large, well formed, good stem and calyx never bursts, A few Enchantress also looked well. Roses have been off crop for some time but from the looks of the houses his big four, Brides, Maids, Perles and Woottons, will yield him a big crop soon. They also report plenty of funeral work of late. Their faithful dog. Monkey, which is a terror to drum- mers and w-hich saved the place from de- struction by flre some time ago, is still on watch. At Schray's place evei-ything is looking well, Mr, Schray is forcing a lot of li- lacs, which will be blooming this week. We were also shown a lot of white poin- 556 The Weekly Florists' Review.

The Civic Improvement League has prepared an ordinance. M'hich will be laid before llie Board of Public Improve- ments, ereatina the position of city for- ester. This otiieial is to be under the di- rection of the street commissioner, to make the city beautiful by planting trees throughout the residence district, lliis is considered a good thing, providing they give the position to an experienced mail and not to a politician. George Waldbart is showing some ex- ceptionally fine roses and carnations. Blooming' plants are having quite a run at this place. Jlr. Perry, who has charge of the gieenhouses and landscape work at the World's Fair, and George E. Kessler, chief landscape architect, say that the work of setting out the big stock of plants will begin about March 1.5 and continue until the fair opens April 30. Everything promises to be in good shape for the openinff. .J. r. Ammann, Henry Blixen and A. Jablonsky have returned from their in- spection trip and are much pleased with their treatment in the hands of those they visited and claim they saw and learned a great deal. The club meeting this week Thursday promises to be the largest of the year, especially well attended by the carnation growers, who are very much interested in new varieties and carnation talk from experienced growers. Bowline. Ou Jlonday evening team No. 1 again suffered defeat at the hands of team Ko. 2.

WORK IN THE HOUSE?. Watering and Feeding. As the days begin to lengthen and the strength of the sun 's rays increase, tho benches will dry out faster and re- quire watering more frequently. There will also be less danger from over- watering, as growth will be more rapid and the plants will absorb moisture faster. Liquid manure can also be applied more frequently to assist in maturing such crops as cauliflower and tomatoes with less danger of running them into soft growth. A little may also be ap- plied to lettuce should the soil they are in be of rather poor quality. As a good general liquid fertilizer we do not find anything better than that made from sheej) manure. We procure the pulverized article and use about half a bag to a large barrel of water. After tying up the bag, we put bag and all in the barrel. All the substance of the manure will soak through the bag and give a liquid free from sediment. Soaked thus over night, the liquid ought to be ready to use the next day and will re- quire to be diluted to the proper strength. Of this the operator will have to judge, as no hard and fast rule can be laid down. So much depends on the quality of the manure procured, but it is better to be on the safe side and make it weak rather than too strong. A strong dose is never advisable. It is better to apply weak and often, as the plants can only take up a limited quantity at a time. Just what they can take can only be decided by careful observation, as by this alone can the operator tell when they are getting enough or when they are getting too much. Airing. This is one of the most important parts of greenhouse work, and here again careful study and observation is the only teacher. It is all very well to say "keep the house at a certain temperature," but cold draughts must be avoided, and when the air is cold and the sun bright it is often better to let the temperature of the house run up over the desired degree rather than run the risk of getting a dose of mildew through having a cold draught beating down on the plants. On such days the house should be shut down early to conserve all the sun heat possible. There will be little conden- s.ation on account of the coldness of the atmosphere. Again, when the day may be rather dull and cloudy, if the air be warm, it won't do any harm if the house is kept below the desired figure. Ou such days we like to get air on the house as early in the morn- ing as possible to help dry up the con- densation, which is usually pretty heavy on such moruings, and on account of the mildness of the atmosphere little heat can be used. On such days the taking off of the air can be delayed much longer, and if the night is likely to be mild, a little night air on the lettuce houses will do no harm. Cleaning Up. Keep all decaying and yellow leaves picked off the plants, as they appear; if left around to decay fungus may be generated, which is liable to spread and may result in considerable trouble. Cleanliness is one of the best agencies in combating fungous diseases when the plants are affected, as well as one of the best preventives when the plants are free from disease. Stirring the surface of the beds should be attended to as frequently as time will allow. This not only keeps the surface clean and free from mosses and weeds, but the keeping of the sur- face open is of great assistance in pre- serving the health of the plants, besides assisting the beds to dry out by the freer admission of air. Stirring should not be done when the soil is wet, or more harm than good may result, as then it would close, rather than open the surface. The best time for the operation is when the soil is rather on the dry side, or just before water is to be ap- plied. With a loose surface, water soaks into the bed more evenly than when the surface is hard, as it is apt to run off the drier parts of the bed and soak through in patches, thus making watering very unsatisfactory and in- effective. W. S. Ckoydon. CAPACITY OF BOILER. I have a horizontal boiler forty-two inches in diameter and ten feet long, with sixty-eight 3-inch tubes. Used for hot water, how many square feet of glass will it heat? What will be the necessary length of grate, supposing it to be forty-two inches wide'? What the size of the outlet and inlet pipe holes? What should be the size and height of the stack? W. K. G. The boiler has a capacity for about 5,000 feet of radiation, 5,400 to be ex- act. It should have a fire box forty- two inches long, if soft coal is to be used and the boiler set to work as a re- turn tubular, which I assume to be the plan. If hard coal is to be used the grates should be four feet long instead of three and one-half, as for soft coal. The smoke ]iii)e should be fourteen or fifteen inches in diameter and twenty feet or more in height, depending upon surrounding objects. Size of opening for both riser and return for hot water should not be less than four inches. L. C. C. WAHwacK, E.

Tlie midwinter gathering of the Per- ry Florists' Association was held Feb- ruary 4-5, at Albert Lea, Minn., enter- tained by P. Clawsen & Son. The places that were represented were Austin, Cres- co, Dccorah, Charles City and Osage. Everything at Clawsen's was looking its best. Carnations are their specialty and here are growing many new varieties. Enchantress and Adonis were much ad- mired. These varieties will have quite a space in their houses next season. Eac!) one went home carrying samples of the two, as well as stock of same. Dorothy Whitney was also looking fine and pro- noimced a good yellow. These meetings are very helpful and always enjoyed. Subjects of all kinds are brought up for discussion and in that way one gets lots of new ideas, which they could not get in any other way. A good story told now and then by Jlr. Clawsen and responded to by Mr. Symonds kept all in good hu- mor. The inner-man was well provided for, for which the ladies have our thanks. W. T. Symonds. of Decorah, was elected president for the next year and W. S. Hall, of Osage, secretary and treasurer. Tlie next meeting will be at Osage, la., with W. S. Hall, the latter part of July. A. X. Kinsman, of Austin. Minn., says that his roses were never finer than this winter, especially those growing in the same soil for the third season. He will add to his plant about one-third this season, planting grafted roses. W. B. Perry, of Cresco, la., says busi- ness is good and stock looks well. Here may be seen Glacier carnations growing to perfection. W. T. Symonds, of Decorah, keeps his place up to date with a good business. His display of carnations at the con- vention showed that he knows how to grow good ones. M. H. Wetherbee, of Charles City, re- ports everything prosperous. He has had lots of design work this season, which is his specialty. E. M. Sherman, of Tlie Sherman Nurs- ery Co., of Charles City, reports a good cut of roses, with prospects of a fine crop from now on. American Beauties are their specialty and we think their foreman knows how to grow them. W. S. Hall, of Osage, says business is fair, with prospects of a good sprins. His houses are filled with young stock, such as is grown for catalogue trade, which is his specialty. W. S. H. Boston, Mass. — John Washek, an Aus- trian, dealing in florists' supplies in a small way at 12 Hawley street, shot him- self January 28. He leaves a widow and seven children. The Review is as necessary to the suc- cessful florist, as air and water to his plants. — W. W. Nash, Montrose, Pa. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

Business lias been improving slowly for tlie past two weeks, no flowers going lo waste. Hulboiis stulV is rather slow, ^ood roses rather scarce and first-class carnations are never over plentiful. Kreesia is beginning to be plentiful and the flower buyers like it. When the sun shines brighter and the temperature is higher it will help business all around. \V. ¥. Kasting is now preparing to move into his new quarters. Turn Hall, on Ellicott street. Talk about evolution from the tadjrale to the finished article. Think of the little 4x0 store in which he first did liusiness. then of the commod- ious store which is now his headquarters, then of the large overflow warehouse for his heavier goods and wire work manu- factory, and now he has rented this old German theater, large enough for a na- tional convention of the prohibition party. Surely this will hold him for a time, but he needs lots of room. It's not so much the business that is done, but when there is a full meeting of the Buf- falo florists the hot air that escapes needs a lofty building to be healthy. A few \isitors have braved the arctic weather of late, but the few drummers who have arrived are merely the advance guard. The leonine Arnold Eingier. of \V. \\ . Barnard & Co., Chicago, made his usual two days' stay. He is a great fa- vorite among the boys, who eagerly lis- ten to his philosophy and profit by his example. Walter Alott gave us his usual tri-annual call. He reports the Walter Mott Seed Co.. of Jamestown, largely in- creasing its business, especially locally. In the pastoral regions of the' Ix^autifiil counties of Alleghany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua there should be an immense demand for timothy red top, clover, ruta- baga, not to mentiou brussels sprouts and other epieurian green stufT. We had a call this morning from Nashville. in the shape of Mr. Joy, who had been, taking a trip through the north. Very sorry I did not see him personallv. T, Knight, in the interest of Julius Roehr.,, also favored us with a call. This has been a winter of records. In neighboring country towns they have had up to date over eighty- five days of con- tinuous sleighing and' the frigidity has been away below all weather bureau sta- tistics, but that is not all. the first Dutchman arrived on January 20. Al- though from Holland, he had" more the appearance of an English sparrow, small, chipper and persistent. The in- terview lasted but three minutes, while fifteen years ago, just for politeness, it would have lasted an hour and so ha passed on to give someone else the boon of his bargains. Xow by long odds the important pari of these notes is to come, serious and important as the above are. (In Wednes. day. February 17, the Buffalo Florists' Club will have a carnation meeting. Many, in fact nearly all the leading firms who are sending out novelties, have promised to send exhibits and (here will be a large display of the leading stand- ard varieties. A competent committee will pass on the merits of the latest in- troductions and. although a certificate from this committee may not be of the same importance as that granted at the great Detroit convention in March, it will have some weight.

I have decided to change from water to combination steam and water, ily houses, two in number, are each 24x123, thirteen feet to riilge, joined together with glass partition. The south wall is five feet liigh, with two feet of glass; the north wall six feet and double boarded. The east gables are glass to within two feet of the ground. The boiler room and shed across the west end are two feet higher than the houses, breaking the coldest winds. We use solid beds. The piping consists of fourteen runs of 2-inch pipe in the south house. used for roses, and twelve runs in the carnation house. It is piped on the gravity system, with high point and ex- pansion tank over the boiler. To use steam in cold weather, how does the piping need to be changed? The connec- tions to the boiler, both flow and return, are .S-inch. Some of the coils are one flow and three returns, and some two re- turns. I heat my dwelling from the samff system, with radiators, taking water in at the top. I suppose it will be necessary to take in at the bottom with the new arrangement ? W. L. F. The piping system described for both greenhouses and dwelling will work well with steam. It will only be necessary to place check valves in tlie returns near the end of each coil and to place a globe valve and a check at each end of a suffi- cient number of the pipes in each coil Peter Reinberg 51 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO.

Fine Mid- Winter Exhibition. Tiie first of the regular Saturday ex hibitions at Horticultural Hall under the new management of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society was hold on January 30 and brought out a remark- ably fine show. Orchids were tlie star feature, being shown i.n large cjuanti- ties, some 600 bottles of cut blooms be- ing staged in over 300 varieties and species. In the class for best display of cut orchids W. N. Craig, of the V. L. Ames estate, won the Appleton sHver gilt medal with 200 bottles, mostly dis- tinct. Emil Johannsou, gardener to J. E. Eothwell, took the silver medal and William Thatcher, gardener -to Mrs. J. L. Gardner, the bronze medal. Tcorge Melvin, gardener to Colonel Charles Pfaff, also had a fine collection. There was never a finer showing of cut or- chids at any previous Boston .show. Carnations, owing to McKinley day occurring ou the previous day, were not largely shown. Eockland Gretuhouses showed a plant and vase of cut blooms of a beautiful variegated sport of Mrs. Lawsoii, which received a certificate of merit. This will push Mrs. M- A. Pat- ten close, if it does not eclipse it. S. J. ■Goddard's new seedling yellow attract- ed favorable notice. For collection of violets N. F. Comley won, showing sev- en varieties. Mrs. E. M. Gill had the best freesias. Primula sinensis, P. obconica and P. stellata were well shown by William Thatcher, who won two first and one third prizes; E. .7. Mitton, J. Lawson, gardener, and E. W. Breed. Robert Cam cron, of Harvard Botanic Gardens, was .iwarded a cultural certificate for two grand specimens of Chorizema ilicifo- lium, also a certificate of merit for the new Acacia Baileyana. George Melvin secured cultural commendation for a large well flowered basket of Coelogyne cristata. W. N. Craig showed well flowered pans of the Chatsworth variety of ccelog\-ne.

The sup- ply keeps up just about equal to the de- mand in most lines, but some articles are short. Good red roses are very scarce and American Beauties of first quality are few and far between. There is a heavy demand for all kinds of flowers suitable for funeral work and consequent- ly short-stemmed roses are scarce, Brides especially so. Carnations are increasing in supply daily, but still they sell well and none go to waste. Valley is selling rather slowly, but other bulbous flowers are do- ing fairly well. Calla lilies are in espe- cially good demand and more first-class blooms could easily be sold. Tliere is a good demand for Harrisii. Sprengeri has been .selling exceedingly well of late and the supply is scarcely a drop in the buck- et. Smilax is going better. Notes. A severe storm visited this city la-t Saturday night. Heavy wind accom- panied by hail did considerable damage to the various greenhouse plants, but nothing that could not be repaired iir fore any more serious loss "resulted. Theo. Bock will be in the city Satur- day and act as judge for our rose show. Breitmeyer's Sons will send a vase of their new rose.

The Leedham Bulb Co., Santa Cruz, •Cal., has sent us a remarkable daffodil iloner. It came from a bulb among their lot of Ard Eigh and the trumpet is similar to that of this variety, but it has ten .>-<;j>als instead of the usual six. The sepals are all perfect in form and regu- larly jdaeed. It is a very handsome flower. The bulb has been marked and should it and its increase retain the pe- culiarity of producing flowers with ten sepals there wJl be a very notable addi tion to the daffodil family. PLANT NOTES.

FORM — Large cup-shaped, heavy petal, shell-like in formation. GROWTH— Strong and healthy, with a rich, glo.ssy foliage, rampant and vigorous. with astrong tendency to long shoots: very prolific.

The Rfvu'w win- PITTSBURG. The Market. There is a decided shortening up in the cut of all flowers at this writin;^. but it is most noticeable in white roses and white carnations, for which the de- mand exceeds the supply. Beauties of the highest grade are scarce and are held at 50 cents each; best Brides and Maids are 12 cents; occasionally some specials bring 18 cents. Carnations are in only limited demand, and prices are imder those of last year at this date. $1.50 to $3 per 100, with some good Enchantress and Prosperity selling at G cents. Paper White narcissi, Roman hy- acinths, daffodils and tulips are better sale, no accumulations now. Single and double violets of good quality are plen- tiful and meet with very fair demand. Fine long-stemmed sweet peas are be- ing received, which are sold very low in order to clean up, the price being 30 to 50 cents per 100 in quantities. Migno- nette, pansies. daisies, primulas and lilacs meet with a steady call. The whole- salers report shipping business steady. Various Notes. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- ceiving quantities of fine Enchantress carnations. Maids and Brides from Mr. Burki's Bakerstown plant. Patrick Maier and M. C. Dunlev-y are among the largest forcers of bulbs this season, and they are cutting some very fine tulips and daffodils at present. The window displays at Mrs. E. A. Williams' Penn avenue store are at- tracting lovers of the artistic to some- thing new every day. A. W. Smith w-as busy last week with several good sized wedding decorations. E. C.

INDIANAPOLIS. On Fcliiuniy 2 the Stale Florists' As- sociation lield its regular monthly meet- ing, with President E. A. Nelson in the chair. On account of the severe cold weather the attendance was very small, but if the stay-at-homes had known what was in store for them in the shajie of an interesting paper by .J. A. E. Haugli. of Anderson, on the subject "Our Cus- tomers." there undoubtedly would have been a larger attendance. Mr. Haugh's paper wa.s brim full of practical sugges- tions to the retailer and especially to those having greenhouses in connection with their store. They have an order sheet that is just about perfection an I Mr. Hnugh says that they never have any trouble if the blanks are filled out properly, ilr. Haugh was the only oiii- of-town member in attendance. At the next meeting .J. A. Ricman will read a paper on "Cutting and Handliiii; Flowers." All the members are urged to come and be prepared to he!]) in the dis- cussion following the reading. On February 8, A. Wicgand started south with a train load of business men from this city.

Business Dull The flori.sts of tliis city are exper- iencing the dullest period they ever had. Business since New Year's does not seem to pick up a bit and from what 1 hear it is general among all re- tailers. Good roses arc very scarce and evcu those which could always be disposed of are now thrown to the waste. The inactivity iu the business is mainly due to the reverses that the stock brokers are experiencing all over the city. The florists are certainly the first to feel its consequences and many changes in the trade are feared -to be recorded in the near future. The weather also is not helping to improve the state of affairs. Snow storms are succeeding each other at close intervals of sharp and bitter cold, bringing the mercury down to 30 de- grees below zero. Club Doings. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club is progressing. Tlie last meeting, held on February 1, had the best attendance seen for years, owing, probably, to the matter of electing a new president to replace W. Whiting, who has left Mon- treal, Joseph Bennett was unanimously chosen to occupy the chair, but not with- out some objection on his part, saying that he was not in position to preside at all meetings with regularit}', as the chairman is expected to do, because he would be obligfil to attend to his houses with more of his time than he has done in the past. But the club made things easy for him and he took the chair with the applause of the members. A. Bee. PETOSKEY, MICH. Our winter has been a very cold one, 20 degrees below zero some mornings, and it has snoired every day for seventy days. When it ranges from 12 above to 16 below for four wefks it takes fuel and a man at the stoke hole most of the time, Boses are poor; the nights too cold. Carnations have done well consid- ering the dark days and no sunshine; lack of ventilation makes havoc with the blooms. Lawson is not nearly as good as last season. Roosevelt, Bon Homme Richard and Mrs, Palmer are blooming well, except that the latter splits badly. The price of carnations has held at .50 cents a dozen all winter; that is stiff for these parts. Funeral work has kept us busy and stripped of all salable stock. Fitzgerald, Ga.— Joel Thomas says the weather has been favorable, the coldest night so far IG degrees above zero. He is looking for a good trade in a few \veeks. GERANIUMS and MISCELLANEOUS STOCK. From 2X-in. pots. Good Stock. Not less than 5 of any one variety sold.

Although the flowers of the several species of cactus knoirn to cultivators have not revolute and twisted petals, they are for the most part less formal than the flowers of the plants on which past generations of florists lavished so freely their love and care. Hence the term ' ' cactus ' ' has in the case of flor- ists' flowers come to be regarded as syn- onymous with lightness and elegance. The first of the flowers to which the term was applied was the dahlia, and this as first used in connection with Dahlia Juarezi was more truly descrip- tive of that brilliantly colored form than it is of its more recent descendants. That, however, is a small matter; the designation is prefectly well understood by all who take an interest in the flowers, and it is perhaps as well suited as any name that could have been selected for popular use. We have now "cactus" cinerarias, and, judging from the rapidity with which they have been developed and the attention the varieties have received from flower lovers generally, it is reasonable to infer that they wiU enjoy a large measure of popularity. Let us hope that this will be so, for while we have no ■nish that the varieties of the old type, ■nith their large circular flowers and broad over-lapping florets should be su- perseded, it is most desirable that there should be a considerable degree of diver- sity in these as in other flowers under the gardener 's care. Differences In color and form of the flowers and in the style of growth in the several classes of plants are important factors in the maintenance of interest in them, a fact which the past generations of florists unfortunately failed to recognize. — Exchange.

MpnTlon thp RpvIpw when ynn wrlfe OCEANIC, N. J, Tlie Sfmi-moiUlily meeting of tlie MoimioMth County Horticultural Society was held February 5. President Turner presiding. The meeting was a very in- teresting one and well attended. The cut flower display was grand. H. A. Kettel, gardener to James Loeb. had some fine lily of the valley, roses. Lili- iim Harrisii and narcissi, scoring in all 220 points. James Dowlen. gardener to H. L. Terrell, had a well flowered plant of Ccelogyne cristata, a vase of gootl roses and a vase of carnations, scoring in all 235 points. Mr. Dowlen also exhibited several carnation seed- lings, a crimson scoring 90, a red 90, a scarlet 85 and several whites scoring 70 points. Geo. H. Hale, gardener to E. T>. Adams, had some well grown freesias, Princess of Wales violets and imantophyl- lum, scoring in all 250 points. The judges of the evening were W. \V. Ken- nedy. A. G. Williams and Wm. Turner. The members who visited Tarrytown. X. Y.. to attend the annual dinner of the Horticultural Society, arrived home in pretty good condition, notwithstand- ing the hardships they went through. As I understand, the snow was a little too deep for them in some places, the . elevated too crowded and the ferry boats frozen in their slips. They reviewed their trip in detail, stating they enjoyed it verj' much, especially the dinner nt Tarrytown. J. Yomans, our Oceanic Chauncey Dcpew. made a speech which won't be forgotten for a long time at Tarrytown. The discussion of the evening was on experiment stations. San Jose scale and its treatment in winter and summer. Most of the members present took part in the discussion. Mr. Hale asked a question to find the view of the mem- bers, "if tlicy thought it essential for a person learning the gardening profes- sion to study botany to become a good gardener?" Most of those present gave their views, some stating that if a gar- dener could combine and carry the two he would be the stronger, but the gen- eral trend of their views was against it, stating it was not necessai"}', as botany is a study of itself and from their ex- perience and observation botanists as a rule made verj- poor gardeners, ilr. Kettel asked the craft a few conundrums, which were not easily solved, but he soon enlightened them on the difference of things and also explained what some people called patience, which was en- jojed by all.

When the thermometer stood at 30 below zero this morning I could hold tlie temperature at 60 very easily with a saving: of at least 36 per cent of coal. It is without a doObt the finest hut water boiler jn the land, as it will heat about doable t he aninant of griass that other boilers do with the same aiuount of coal. It has proved so satisfactory that I must express my feelings. B. F. Vaxdervate. Chicago. Dec. 1. lyii:^ KROEsrHELL Bhos. Co :— The two No. 4 boil- ers you installed in my greenhouses at Hart- land. Wis., did very satisfactory work last winter. I had been using cast iron boilers pre- viously, but threw tbem out to p tt in your steel boilero. Your boilers have done better than I had expected: th'y require lesn coal, and mach less attention than did the cast iron boilers. I estimate trie savin?: in coal with your boilers was about 15 per cent To anyone dealring^ a perfect greenhouse boiler, I would certainly recommenl yours. James A. Kirk. Philadelphia. Feb. 27. 1903. Kroeschell Bros. Co.:— We wish to tell you hew much we are pleased with your boiler we put In last fall. It replaced two cast Iron bollt^rs, has done the work very much better, reqaires much les** attention, and besides as near as w,e can judge will use about 30 per cent less coal than we have been using. This coal item is not compared with only one sea- son, but with at least 20 years' experience with several different kinds of cast iron boilers. We are more than satisfied and have taken pleasure in showing and recommending your boiler to a number of growers. Pexnock Begs. KROESCHELL BROS. CO., 5i Erie Street, Chicago.

Februabt: 18, 1004 The Weekly Florists' Review. 595 CARNATION NOTES-WEST. Early Shading. As the sun gains strength you will be- gin to see the need of a little shade over some of the bright pink and the Daybreak shade varieties. Nearly all the varieties in the Daybreak class fade quickly in the strong sun and unless they are shaded some they take on that dirty white ap- pearance, which makes them unfit to sell. Especially is this true with those that open slowly and consequently fade most around the edges. A bloom that has an even color all over, though it be fade! somewhat, does not look nearly so bad as a bloom that is faded only in parts, The fading is not so noticeable. Among the bright pink varieties Mrs. Xiawson is the worst to fade and needs a little shade a few weeks before most of the others. A bright, clear day's sun will bleach the half opened bloom on the side that is fully exposed to the sun so that when the bloom is opened it will be blotched all over with light spots that make it unfit to sell. If the bloom would merely fade a shade or two lighter it would not be so bad, but it bleaches into such an unsightly dirty color that nobody wants it at any price. You ■can take the buds that show color after a bright day and see distinctly which side was exposed to the sun. Such varieties as Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Joost, Floriana and Crocker will not need any shade for several weeks to protect the color and as the plants wUl enjoy all the sun they can get for quite a while you should not be in a hurry to put any shading material over them. A great deal of judgment must be used in put- ting on shade this early and especially is it quite dangerous to put on a perma- nent shade, such as we use in summer. Por another month we are likely to have as much cloudy weather as clear and a heavy shade on the glass during a pro- longed cloudy spell will do as much damage as the same amount of bright weather without any shade. The dark- ness will soften the blooms and render them more susceptible to the sun 's bleach- ing effects than if the light at all times were stronger. The growth, also, will become softer and will succumb all the sooner to the summer heat a little later. Another thing that will aggravate the bleaching is to let the plants suffer for water at the roots. By this time the soil is pretty well filled with roots and dries out rapidly where the sun can strike it along the edges and you will need to water along the edges every bright day. A light mulch of some loose material spread along wherever the sun strikes the soil will help to retard evaporation. If you have only a bench or two that need a little shading it will pay you to buy enough cheese cloth to hang over them in such a manner that they will be protected from the bright sun and yet have a good strong light. Arrange it so tliat you can remove it or tie it up at night and on cloudy days, as it is not wanted then. The cheese cloth will not cost much and you can use it several seasons. If you have a whole house or several houses to shade you will, of course, have to put some kind of a shade on the glass. For this I would use whitewash made of air slaked lime, and quite thin at that. Whitewash made of air-slaked lime will wash off much eas- ier than that made from hot lime and for several weeks you want a shade that will wash off with the first good shower. You can put on another as soon as it is needed again much easier than you can get rid of one that will stick like white lead and oil. You can't put this on with a brush with any satisfaction as it will be too thin, but you can put it on to perfection and very quickly with an ordinary greenhouse syringe. Don 't shoot the liquid straight at the glass, but shoot it up high and let the wind break it up into countless little drops, which will fall onto the glass like rain, covering the glass with little spots and yet not shutting out the light as much as if the glass were painted solid all over. We use this method all summer, making the lime wash thicker and putting more of it on the glass as the weather gets hotter. One man can shade 10,000 feet of glass in an hour this way, while with a brush it would take him at least a day. Of course you will want this shade only on the south side of the house for at least six weeks or two months, as the sun does not rise above the ridges of any of the houses yet, and for some time after it does it will strike the glass at such an angle that it will have little strength after passing through. The blooms should be cut early in the morning before the sun gets very high. They are fresh and full of sap and will draw water better than if they are picked while the sun is beating down quite strongly, and, of course, naturally, they will keep longer. You will also notice that after a bloom is opened to the stage when we consider it ready to be cut it will begin to bleach much quicker than while it is opening. Developed blooms should not be allowed to remain on the plants through a bright day from now on, of those varieties that are in- clined to bleach. Better cut them a lit- tle close and hold them in water until they are developed enough to send in oi- to sell. During December, January and February many growers pick their blooms only as they sell them, but from now on it will pay you to pick what are ready to pick each morning and depend on your cut flower room to hold them until you can dispose of them. A. F. J. Baur. VARIETIES FOR SMALL GROWERS. I have just one house, 30x155,, planted to carnations, and I wish to give my opinion on the varieties for small grow- ers to handle for profit. I will com- mence with whites. I find Peru much ahead of any for production, a good. clear white flower on a good stem and never bursts and will pick a third more llowers from it on my place than any other white. Of reds. Crane is much ahead of any I have tried, as my plants are still in the best of health without any signs of stem-rot. I would not part with it for any of the new ones I have seen. I have given up Adonis. Palmer bursts. In pinik, Joost does fairly well here, especially in the fall and spring, but in the winter is a little slow. In light pink I have Morning Glory and Enchantress. Morning Glory is a fairly free bloomer but does not produce a sood enough flower. I shall strike it off the list after this season, as Enchantress will pick more flowers and of much higher grade. I have averaged from this variety about four and one-half blooms since November 1, which I consider a good average and there are from 3,000 ' to 4,000 buds in sight at the present time. I have about 000 plants of this variety and they stand over three feet six on the bench, stems like canes. I also have a sport from that variety, which I consider promising. It is not quite a clear color but is something the shade of Joost tinted with light spots, but is larger than Enchantress and much stiffer, as it seems to stand without any sTipport. H. Merritt. GROWING CARNATIONS. [A paper by F. J. FiUmore. read before the .St. Louis Florists' Club at its meeting Feb- ruary 11, 1904.] I am not an expert at growing the di- vine flower, but aim at growing the best I can, as I am certainly handicapped by being situated almost within range of our city's smoke. There is no doubt that a grower situated far out has a great many advantages over those who are not so fortunate. Pure air and pure soil are the main requisites in grow- ing any plant, coupled with experience and lots of common sense. Propagation, We always have good, sound boards in the bed, with a small crack between them and a few auger holes in the boards, also a hot coat of thick white- wash is applied every season. ' We pro- cure good, coarse river sand, which is thoroughly washed. This is used the whole season and after being spread and pressed firmly to the depth of three and a half to four inches, is thoroughly soaked. We are now ready for the cuttings, taken chiefly from the base of the flowering shoots. When short of stock, I take some shoots that would bloom later on. As soon as cuttings are taken, I put them in a bucket of water for about fifteen minutes, no longer. Take them out and if not ready to make at once, cover them from the air. In making them, trim off the ends if they are uneven, if not uneven do not cut them at all. Trim off a few lower leaves and shorten back the upper ones and insert them in the sand about one inch deep, three-quarters of an inch apart and about two inches between the rows. Then soak them thoroughly and sprinkle lightly almost every day, ex- cept in very cloudy, damp weather. Water the bed about every three days. It is hard to lay down any given rules on this point, as so much depends on the weather and temperature. I find that with the greatest care I have, at times, a good deal of loss, and there is such a difference in varieties, also. I 596 The Weekly Florists' Review, Februaiiy 18, 1004. have rooted them in different tempera- tures, but I think the ideal is CO de- grees bottom and 50 degrees top, no liigher if possible. I have sometimes rooted them very cool, with scarecly any heat, and very successfully, but it is a very slow process. Air is given to the house whenever possible, or nearly every dav, and the cuttings are shaded from all" sunshine until they begin to root; then sun is admitted gradually until when rooted they are fully exposed. I have used papers in shading ever since I was initiated in our profession, and that is quite a few years, but this season am using as shades frames made a conven- ient width, cut of half-inch strips, and covered -n-ith white muslin. These rest on a board back of the bed and are sus- pended in front by wire fastened on the sash bar. This shade keeps the direct air from striking the cuttings and at the same time gives them sufficient, as it is about four inches above the bed. Out- side shade is given with lath shades as the weather gets warm, to keep down the temperature. When the cuttings are rooted, say roots about a half-inch long, they are potted into 2-inch pots in soil four parts well rotted sod to one part thoroughly decomposed stable manur?, with a liberal sprinkling of lime and some sand. This is sifted through a half-inch sieve. Care of Young Stock. Cuttings are potted moderately tirm, watered thoroughly, treated the same as the cuttings for "about a week and at about the same temperature, when they are gradually given more air and kept 45 to 50 deigrees at night and 60 de- grees in the day, with air. Propagating is done from jsfovember on. The early cuttings for summer blooming, when needed, are shifted into 3-inch pots. The later ones I am going to pot this sea- son into aVa-inch pots and plant from them. When weather permits they are removed to cold frames and gradually hardened off, avoiding all extremes of temperature as far as possible and pinched back when about three or four inches high. Field Planting. As soon as weather permits, planting out is proceeded with, from about Apri 15 on in our section of the country, f>^' course according to the weather. The plants are thoroughly watered. The ground is thoroughly manured about every two years, about two inches deep, half rotten, and well spaded. A coat of lime once in a few years is also given. My garden, as I always term it, is only 40x125 feet and I have grown plants here for eighteen years. Now almost every grower believes in growing carna- tions on different ground every two or three years at least and there is no doubt it is a great advantage in growing good stock. I plant firmly. SxlO inches apart, covering the ball thoroughly but avoid covering the foliage. If we do not have rain about every two or three weeks, I give the plants a good water- ing with an automatic sprinkler. I find this does it more thoroughly than when done with the hose. This is repeated throughout the season of growing. I know opinions differ greatly as to water- ing stock while in the field, but the more experience I have the more I advocate it. If the summer is continually dry I water at least once a week. It is not much use to water unless started in good time. Plants are kept free of weeds and hoed quite often, gone over every week and those needing it are pinched back until housing time, about August 1. Now methods of culture have changed. The first essay that I wrote was on the grow- ing of the divine (lower about ten years ago. I then advocated September 20 as the date for housing. Now it seems we can hardly house them soon enough. I have always maintained of late years that the time will come when we will plant them the same as roses, as some are really doing on a small scale. Filling the Benches. We prepare the benches by repairing, sweeping off the boards thoroughly, turning them over and giving a good coat of hot whitewash. Space the boards off with about half an inch to three-fourths of an inch between them. While we prepare the soil all parts of The Lyre I By Wm. H. McDoilg:ill. Chicago.) the benches get a good sun bath. Soil is composted of about three-quarters well rotted sod to one-quarter well decom- posed hotbed manure. All is thorough- ly mixed, the soil being chopped as fine as posi-iule. About a shovelful of air- slaked lime is addel to each barrow- load of soil. For drainage on the spaces in the benches we use straw. We for- merly used sod but it is very hard to obtain, especially in dry weather. Straw- is cheap and much quicker handled th;in sod. The soil is wheeled right on to the benches and spread to the depth of about five inches. This gives about four inches after the plants are in and watered. The plants are lifted with a small ball of soil whenever possible. Varieties dif- fer in this respect, as some retain soil easily while others do not. lUey are taken into the house or potting shed. House Planting. I usually lift a good number early in the morning and again late in the after- noon. They are heavily sprinkled at once, all dead foliage is removed, the house being previously shaded with old soil run through a quarter-inch sieve, mixed with water to a convenient thick- ness and applied with an old broom. I now proceed to plant, just covering the ball thoroughly and firmly pressed with the hands. Strong growing va- rieties are planted about 10x12 and some 12x12, others about 8x10. I have some planted closer, but I think we really ought to give more space to our plants than we do, to permit a freer circulation of air. As planting is proceeded with, I water several times until the soil is good and damp but not soaking wet. We syringe about three times a day, moisten- ing the walks at the same time. The house is kept a little close during the day, with Eill air possible at night. I think that if the plants are good and sturdy they really do not need to be kept very close. I do not intend to do so in the future, as plants very seldom wilt with me and I really think this keeping close and damp is the main cause of stem-rot. At least I have al- most come to that conclusion, after close observation. House Culture. After the planting is done we clean all the rubbish from under the benches and sometimes scatter air-slaked lime after all is cleaned up. If we have no rain in about ten days, the shading is washed off with the hose. The soil is kept in goofi moist condition, not soak- ing wet. These conditions are reversed to a certain extent in the short days of winter. We were late in planting this season, so were delayed all around. We usually clean the plants again before staking, but this was not done this sea- son. The plants have thrived fairly well, but I am a great believer in cleanliness and we usually clean them again about this time. We stake them with the Kuehn support, which to my idea is all O. K., giving a free circulation and al- ways convenient to clean and apply mulch. After staking this season we applied mulch one-half inch thick, the same as we used on our roses, composed of one- third rotted sod or soil and two-thirds well rotted hotbed manure run through a one-half inch screen, to which was added bone meal, an ordinary-sized coal bucket to about fifteen medium-sized bar- row loads of the compost. We scatter lime occasionally over the surface of the benches and tolsacco ashes which I save from fumigating, also wood ashes when procurable. Liquid manure is used after the mulch has been on some time, weak at first, increasing in strength as the sea- son advances. As I use the Kinney pump for this purpose, a double quan- tity of manure is placed in sacks, as pressure is obtainecl from city water, which dilutes the liquid to one-half the strength. About half a bushel of shee-i manure, or a bushel of cow manure, or one and one-half of horse manure is used to each sack. One sack to a bar- rel makes the liquid of medium strength. About this season of the year, or a lit- tle later, about one-half inch of mulch of rotten manure is put on and later in the season one inch. Daily syringing is stopped as soon as short days start in, except at the ex- Februaky 18, 1904 The Weekly Florists^ Review. 597 treme warm ends, where the main steam pipe is. These are syringed every day and the walks dampened down. I gen- erally syringe about twice a week in other parts of the houses. As the sea- son advances daily syringing is grad- ually given on all bright days, and twice a day in hot weather, with plenty of water at the roots. I should have stated before that the houses are left wide open day and night except in stormy weather until cold weather approaches, then a pipe is turned on, with enough air to maintain the right temperature. Thera are very few days in the season but what some ventilation is given, if only for a couple of hours. The temperature for those varieties that do best in a cool house is about 50 degrees. A variation of a degree or so cither way is allowed. In the warmer house about 54 degrees is kept, the varia- tion the same. This, of course, is the night temperature, the day being from 10 to 15 degrees higher, with abund- ant ventilation. I ilever force carna- tions for any occasion except to allow the houses to run about 3 degrees higher than the normal. Tliis is not forcing. It stands to reason that it must weaken the stock to a certain extent. As .soon as possible, even if the weath- er is warm, I fumigate in the old fash- ioned way, just closing the house for nn hour or two and then opening up again for the night. Fumigation is kept up throughout the season, Ughtly, about once a week, and I have never seen any bad effects on blooms, though some ex- perts differ on this, and as far as odor jrom tobacco is concerned, T have never noticed it on the blooms after being in the cellar in water a couple of Lours. I have never shaded carnations after being established, but have no doubt where large quantities arc grown it is beneficial to do so with scnio varieties that are inclined to fade as the weather f},vt'} warm in the spring. IXiving tiie clirysanthenuim season I only hIIow ;iboi:t a quarter of the plaMs to bloom.. "When the buds get a fair size we cut them back as you would a bloom. Dis- budding is attended to throughout the sr^Rson. Sometimes when very busy this is ceglscted; if so I always look after the colored ones first, as the white va- rieties can be used in design work for our retail trade. Blooms are picked early every morn- ing. They are allowed to develop fairly well, as I think when they are picketl too closely it causes them, to go to slee much quicker. At least this is our ex- perience, as we never have complaints from our customers. On the contrary, we often have compliments as to the keeping qualities. After being picked they are placed at once in cool water and set on a cemented cellar floor, never in the ice box. "We always maintain a fair price, no bargain days, but in periods of glut give our customers the benefit by giving them liberal count. This we have found to be very satisfactory and it pays much better than selling at cut rates. As to Varieties. Mrs. E. A. Nelson is the best with me this season in quality and quantity of good flowers. Flora Hill is next in pro- ductiveness. It is about the same as wh^n I first grew it, but the quality is not so good; a granel summer bloomer, however. For red we have Crane. 1 have Murphy's "\\niite and Lillian Pond in small quantity and am inclined to Desifn for the Funeral of a Member of the Masonic Older. (B.v Will. H. McDouL'a 1. Chica^ij. i think they will take the place of old Flora for winter bloomers. These va- rieties are in the warmest house. In the cooler house we have olel Day- break. This will be the last season we shall grow it, as it has deteriorated too much. The Marquis is a grand variety, we think, for retailing, but it is always late in coming into bloom and after the heavy spring crop is of no further use, therefore not being profitable for whole- saling. Hoosier Maid is really a white Daybreak, only a medium-sized bloom but very productive; takes the place of Flora Hill in midwinter; it blooms from early to late. Mrs. Higinbotham and Gaiety are failures with me. Enchantress is a very fine variety but I have lost about one-half of the hun- dred which I had, with stem-rot. When I planteel them in they were the finest plants that I ever had, about twelve inches in diameter. I only gave them about eleven inches of room each way and I think probably that was the main cause of losing them, by not having sufficient soace to allow free circulation of air. "We live and learn and if we wish to improve we must try some new varieties each year auel if we only find one or two better than we had, it certain- ly pays. I have not room enough to plant many new ones, as I only grow about 3,000 plants. In closing, I hope I have not wearied you with this long essay. All the points covered are founded on practical experi- ence, not theory, and I think we should all strive to raise the best blooms that are possible. By this way of doing them there would be less danger of gluts and certainly more credit and pleasure to the grower. I know I am never satisfied, but you all know my situation. If I had the same advantages as some of my friends here I think I might be able to raise as good blooms as they do, which I am not able to do in my present loca- tion. A Reverie. Just at this time I fell into a reverie and saw that gay though antiquated "Wil- liam Scott with that aged but good old spinster, lizzie McGowan. But being full of Gaiety he became enamored with Flora Hill and exclaimed, "You are my Enchantress. ' ' About this time that noble Marquis came on the scene with the modest Hoosier Maid, not even notic- ing the beautiful Lady Bountiful, who very quickly made the acquaintance of Apollo, though he was admiring the popu- lar favorite, JNIrs.

When the 'White Cloud passed away they were all seen crane-ing their necks to see the Daybreak over Alaska and, after wish- ing Prosperity to all. Flamingo departed to see his affianced Bride in Indianapolis. About this time I awoke and found all were being Marshalled in the Field by President McKinley. FRANK J. FILLMORE. The portrait herewith reproduced is from a photograph of one of the most valued members of the St. Louis Florists' Club, a member who has a record for never missing a meeting. Mr. Fillmore has also been a member of the S. A. F. for thirteen years. This is the first time his portrait has ever appeared, in print. If all the members would follow the exam- ple set by Mr. Fillmore, what grand meetings we would hold every month. ■ J. J. B. ROSES. SeasonAble Hints. With the advent of spring we may look for a rapid increase of greenfly and special efforts should be made to exter- minate thep before they become too numerous. It is almost impossible to fumigate with tobacco as frequently as is necessary without injuring the flower ous injury has been done to the surface of the leaves and requiring a longer time to dry than if no fumigation had oc- curred. This method of keeping greenfly in subjection is that most commonly used but is far from being perfect, nor have we as yet found a good substitute. It is claimed that the cyanide of potassium is more eifective and less injurious to flower and foliage but to this method there are also objections, particularly on account of its dangerous character, and some growers of long experience hold that it is even more injurious to the plants than tobacco fumes. AVhere plenty of tobacco stems can be had it is a very safe and effective way to keep these under the benches, on the pipes, or in fact anywhere in the house where they will not be in the way. By renewing these periodically greenfly can make no headwaj'; with a little care they need not present an untidy appearance. Whatever means is employed in the ex- termination of this pest must be ac- companied by patient persistency, as during the spring months the rate of re- production of these insects is something appalling. Not only do they reproduce their kind by laying eggs like most other insects, but as if that were not rapid enough they also for eleven months of tilt year bring forth their young alive and in a perfect state, ready to feed and in an incredibly short time to re- produce like the parent, and without even the presence of a male.

The petals of the pink varieties are often so bleached that they are unsalable, es- pecially after a heavy fumigation, and although the injury to the foliage is not quite so apparent, it is there neverthe- less, as a microscopic examination will show. The first syringing after fumigat- ing leaves the foliage in a wet and be- draggled condition, showing that a seri- who made the life history of these in- sects a special study, gives us some in- teresting facts concerning their mode of living and reproductive proclivities. He isolated one of these new-born insects, so that there could be no communication with any of its kind, and after watching it for some hours he actually saw it re- produce living young. One of these h:; also isolated .and found that it also possessed the same power. He carried the experiment to the fifth generation, when they showed no sign of diminu- tion of the reproductive faculty. He calculated that at the end of the fifth generation, if left undisturbed, this fatherless progeny would amount to the enormous total of 590,490,000, a nice little family to house and feed. These young flies are easily destroyed during their infancy and never attain maturity where plenty of fresh stems are strewn under the benches. Eibes. THE SUCCESSOR TO LIBERTY ? The E. G. Hill Company, Kitlimond. Ind., has a number of very promising seedling roses and in a red seedling of Lady Battersea crossed with Liberty Mr. Hill considers he has the most prom- ising novelty it has ever been his good fortune to possess. The flower is much like Liberty in form and color, but a little more on the scarlet order and is; more double. But it is in growth that the variety is expected to prove itself superior to any red rose now in sights It is as easily handled as Bride or Maid, keeps going all winter and Mr. Hill savs that, if such a comparison can be made, this seedling grows half again as strong- ly as Liberty. His stock now consists of eighty-five plants, for which he is re- ported to have declined an offer of $.5.- 000. So strong a grower is it that there will be no strain on these plants to in- crease the stock to from 8,000 to 10.000 plants for next season, which will per- mit of its dissemination in the trade in 1905. THE CHICAGO SHOW. The Chicago Florists' Club held an- other of its periodical shows at Handel hall on Wednesday afternoon and even- ing and scored the success of the season. The exhibits gathered by the eiforts of P. J. Hauswirth, the manager, filled the hall so completely that little room was: left for visitors and the place was thronged from opening to close. The general effect of the show was excellent. On entering the hall, the center of the view was occupied by a splendid display of roses from Peter Reinberg. Uncle .Tohn and Chatenay were ths leading fea- tures of the exhibit, but there were also vases of Beauty, Ivory. Liberty, Golden Gate, Bride, Bridesmaid, Perle and Sun- rise, equally well grown. Considering the state of the rose market this display represented a tidy sum. Benthey & Co. showed a splendid vase of Bridesmaid and another of Bride. George Hopp, of Grand Rapids, sent some good blooms of a pink seedling hut they were found slightly frosted when the box was opened. Baur & Smith, of Indianapolis, sent a very fine vase of their pink carnation,. Indianapolis. Local growers like it bet- ter every time they see it. The Chicago Carnation Co. showed a fine vase of Crusader, another of Har- lowarJen and a smaller vase of Alba, the latter probably the largest white flowers ever staged in this city. Mr. Hartshorne states that its one fault is its slowness. F. Dorner & Sons Co., Lafayette, sent Laelv Bountiful, which evervone likes. The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., was represented by a vase of Adonis which was a pleasure to every visitor. It left littls to be desired. W. N. Rudd put up a vase of Phyllis, witli the merits of which this market I Febbuaev 18, 1904 The Weekly Florists' Review, 599 View in the Large Daffodil House of the Leedham Bulb Co., Santa Cruz, Cal. (Seepage 617.) has become thoroughly familiar, also a vase of his good white, which he has christened Chicago White. Wietor Bros, staged Enchantress, Morning Glory, Guardian Angel, Law- son, Harlowarden and Chicago, blooms from regular stock but up to exhibition standard. Sinner Bros, showed America and Lawson in good shape and also a white sesdling, from Norway crossed White Cloud which looked pretty good. Anton Then had a vase of No. 122, a good variegated. John Reardon put up two fine vases of Mrs. Lawson. From F. E. Thornton, of Gesler & Drury, Galesburg, 111., came a pink setd- ling christened Illinois. The Thompson Co. also made an ex- hibit of carnations. The George Wittbold Co. put up a very fine lot of bulbous stock and a couple of rhododendrons in handsomely decorated pots. The public liked this exhibit rath- er better than anything else. G. Swenson, of Elmhurst, was. repre- sented by good California violets. Oechslin Bros, put up a large group of the well grown decorative and flower- ing plants on which thtir place in becom- ing so well known. H. N. Bruns had a good vase of valley. W. L. Palinsky brought well grown cinerarias and Primula obeonica. Last but not least was the exhibit of Klehm 's nurseries. This was valley from home grown pips labeled ' ' the true Berlin variety.'- Certainly no finer val- ley was ever seen in this market. They also had La Eeine tulips in splendid shape. The sum of -$100 in gratuities was di- vided among the exhibitors. FOR SHADY SITUATION. Can you suggest any plants suitable for beds in front of a residence facing east and shaded at a distance on the south by taU trees? They get nearly all the morning sun. ]\Iy customer says geraniums seem to run to leaves and they get very few flowers from any plants used. Can the trouble be that they are in too rich a soil and get too much wri- ter? Would scarlet Phlox Drummondii or scarlet verbena do for an early show of bloom among Niitt geraniums if the bed is not watered too much ? I think they wish a red flower display rather than tropical foliage effect. Or would salvia be a good blooming plant if grown somewhat dry in such a location ? G. F. H. The conditions described, "shade at a distance," and the "sun up to noon" are by no means unfavorable and we think that a rich soil and the curse of the senseless use of the hose is the main cause of the failure of the geraniums. It's true that the zonale geraniums do best in the broad sun without any shade whatever, but we have all seen them go to leaf with little flower in a very wet season or when kept soaked with water. Scarlet Phlox Drummondii would make a brilliant bed if the flowers were kept picked off and if, in a long dry spell, an occasional soaking was given the bed. Verbenas would make a pretty bed, but I would not mix them with geraniums. The taste for coleus, achyranthes and that class of foliage plants is very much on the wane and flowering plants are cor- respondingly on the increase in favor. The objection to the scarlet salvia for such a position is that it's rather late flowering. Yet from August on till hard frost, what is more cheering and beauti- ful than the scarlet salvia? It seems to blend with tints of the foliage and the ripening fruits and berries of our woods and orchards. It gives us a feeling of warmth. However, the flowering ])lant that the writer would advise for such a bed would be a good, dwarf, free-flowering canna. Tarrytown is a grand variety, and a brighter scarlet and very dwarf, with plain green foliage is The Express. The latter is not very common yet, but it is a jewel where a pure scarlet dwarf canna is needed. The canna has another ad- vantage: neither the owner or the hired ".John Thomas" could injure them with the profuse or careless use of the hose. William Scott. DAHLIA PROPAGATION. Being interested in your notes on prop- agating the dahlia, it might not be out of the way for me to state that com- mercially the general method pursued has been by cuttings, as a new variety can be increased very much faster in that way, but it is at the expense of vitality. The clumps grown from cut- tings are smaller and need a second year's growth to make full sized, strong clumps. When the regular clump is di- vided and one, two or three tubers are planted together, the stalk allowed to grow has a good foundation to live on while the roots are forming in the soil. A stronger plant and the consequent stronger clump is bound to be the result. Time and care ar? the two main fac- tors in the result, understanding, of course, that we have good soil in either course pursued. When the cutting is t^'.ken off it is of necessity a weak thing. Properly cared for, it soon strikes root, but must get all its nourishment from the soil. The growth is necessarily slow. 600 The Weekly Florists^ Review, February IS, 1904. because everrthiug is formative, but with good care throughout the season, close, small dumps are formed that will bring excellent results the second season. On the side of the divided root you have a reserve force in the tubers that sends the shoot upwards regardless of the soil, and as roots are formed the stalk is nicely growing and ready to assimilate all tlie vitality both clump and root can give. Consequently, as far as the single plant is concerned, the divided root is greatly preferred. However, when a large number of plants is desired to dis- seminate a new variety, the system of propagating by cuttings is the one to be employed and vitality brought up by the second year 's growth. E. S. Thompson. Dahlia specialists in Europe propagate during summer from cuttings in small pots. The small tubers thus produced are kept in the pots or, which is st> better, packed in dry^ sand in boxes away from frost or heat. The small tubers give better satisfaction than either divided clumps or spring cuttings. E. FtRR-VKD. SOCIETY- OF AMERICAN FLORISTS Executive Board to Meet.

Review: — I have been much in- terested in the recent articles on the white fly, which is indeed a tough pro])- osition. He '"holds the fort" and laughs at our etTorts to dislodge him. He thrives on smoke and as for shower baths of whale oil soap, kerosene or nicotine, they are all the same to him. Let us do justice to the aphis, mealy bug and red spider; they 'take their medi- •cine" and die like true Americans. Not so the white fly. We may make our de- ■coctions ever so deadly and with steady aim and murderous intent discharge them at his innumerable army. And what happens ? He ducks, dodges and on triumphant wing disports himself at a safe altitude until the exercises are over. Then he at once returns to busi- ness at the old stand. I am indebted to the white fly; he has given me something to think of. It was a case of conquer or be conquered, and I was about fesigued to surrender when I found liis one vulnerable point. I grow only plants for spring sales, so a very moderate temperature suits my pur- pose. A temperature below 50 degi'ees discourages the white fly and makes him sulky and not disposed to aerial flights. Take due notice, therefore, and govern yourself accordingly. Attack him with your favorite "hell broth" early on a cold moriiing and victory .will be yours. I simply used a fine syringe and water at a temperature of 120 degrees and cleaned out the entire swarm except a few stragglers. When I think of the mvriads that threatened to overwhelm me, and now of my clean plants, I know .■iomething of the joys of victory. J, Thorxiley, That Perpendicular Drop. In your issue of January 28 Mr. Scott's answer to Mr. Wallace, on the heating question, interested me very much, particularly where he says: "I must admit that Mr. Wallace is correct in stating that according to the laws of hydrostatics it makes no difference whether the drop in tlie return pipe is six feet in 100 feet or a perpendicular drop of six feet. The pressure where the return water enters the boiler would be the same. Yet in practice the per- pendicular drop has been proved to be the better method," Mr, Wallace and Mr, Scott have evidently both overlooked the fact that they are dealing with water of varying temperature, and there- fore varying density. In Avery's Elements of Natural Phi- losophy you will find: "The pressure on the bottom of a vessel containing a liquid is independent of the quantity of the liquid or the shape of the vessel, but depends upon tne depth and density of the fluid and the area of the bottom," Xow when there is a vertical drop in the return near the boiler and the pipes in the houses are nearly level, the ver- tical height of the water is almost en- tirely made up of the portion of the liquid which is the coolest and therefore of the greatest density and does exert a i;reater pressure at the boiler than if it descended gradually, and the average temperature throughout the vertical lieight were greater. Again, the vertical rise in the flow near the boiler, where the water is least dense, exerts the least pressure possi- ble in the system. As this arrangement tends to increase the pressure in the leturn and decrease that of the flow and the circulation is directly depend- ent on the difference, it can readily be .*een that there is a very good reason for this method of piping, where it can be had, having been "proved to be the bet- ter method," If Mr. Wallace's contention that the vertical height from one end of the sys- tem to the other was the only thing that gave pressure, and if the tempera- ture did not have to be taken into ac- count at the particular place where th" water took its rise, the pressure in both flow and return, having the same vertical height, would be the same ; the system would balance and there would be very little chance of circulation, Peter F.

It is a purely local trade. A TOUR OF INSPECTION. Two well known growers for the St. Louis market, A. Jablonsky, of Wells- ton, and J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, the latter accompanied by his foreman, Henry Blixen, recently made a trip to Chicago and other cut flower growing points. Mr. Ammann told the St. Louis Florists' Club what they saw at its meeting February 11. Here are some of the things he said: On arrival at Chicago our first call was on A. Dietsch, the short-roof ma- terial man. There we were taken through the mill and shown how the ma- terial for these successful 'houses is manufactured. Thence we journeyed to Peter Beinberg's wonderful establish- ment. We were a little late but still in time to see the Sunrise in all its glory. After getting lost in these immense greenhouses a few times, we finally met the genial foreman, Mr. Collins. He took us around and introduced us to his honor. Uncle John, and Madam Chatenay. Both were in fine form and regardless of the inclemency of the weather (I hate to speak of it, for it makes me shudder) were in full dress ready for any recep- tion. Uncle John, the bolder of the two, although the younger, impressed us very much and we predict a great future for this rose and will add that if it fills a place in floriculture as has its name- sake, we say, well done. Next we went to the Budlong green- houses and found an immense lot of stock, both roses and carnations looking well. Then we went to what they call in Chicago a small place, that of Weber Brothers. This, gentlemen, was a sight. It was almost dusk on arrival there, but those Brides and Maids caused our eyes to open so large we could have seen even were it pitch dark. Four-year-old plants, and to see these two grand old stand-bys done that way one forgets ever wanting anything else. Simply wonderful! Here we also saw the finest house of Liliura longiflorum either of us had ever seen. These men certainly know their business. The next morning we were out blight and early, ready for another day's jour- ney. We made a short call at a few wholesale houses and took the train for La Fayette, Ind.. where we called at F. Dorner & Sons ' store. There we met the genial son-in-law and his estimable wife, who has charge of the store. They at once ordered a eariiage and had us taken to the greenhouses. I suppose they could tell by our looks where we wanted to go. There we met the old carnation veteran, F. Dorner, Sr., and his sons, and the old gentleman himself took U3 in charge. We were first shown the many thousands of cuttings in the sand, all as clean as could be. Next we were introduced to Lady Bountiful and The Belle. Now there are a pair of beauties, the Lady Bountiful with her dress of lux- urious foliage, stiff stem and beauti- fully fringed flowers and the B«lle, so graceful and a flower as white as white can be. They certainly impressed us as being a pair well worthy of their names and all that has been said of them. Next we were taken to a house of seedlings, and such a sight we never could even imagine. It was here Mr. Dorner realized he had too much of a job to watch all of us, so he delegated his son, a fine young man, to keep an eagle eye on Mr. Jablonsky. He being from Missouri was, of course, considered the most dcs- |ierate and had the old gentleman known E^BRnAKY 18, 1904 The Weekly Florists' Review. 601 ■what I did, namely that Jablonsky was a grower of seedlings himself, I am sat- isfied he would have barred him alto- gether. Mr. Blisen and I being rose growers (I am not afraid to say that in St. Louis) were not watched so close- ly. This place is indeed a wonder in earnationdom and the hospitality shown there is unbounded. We arrived at Indianapolis late in the evening and after getting lost a few times finally found a hotel. After sup- per Mr. Jablonsky, seeing everything looked so different from Missouri, sug- gested a stroll around, but we had not gone very far before we missed our friend. On retracing our steps for several blocks, we found him taking notes of a well grown cyclamen plant in a store win- dow. Next morning, bright and early, we were on our way to Baur & Smith 's. Here Mr. Baur took us in charge and introduced us first to Indianapolis. The city itself is noted for its cleanliness, but it's simply not in it with the carnation that bears its name. It is certainly a clean grower, a good producer and we believe has all the qualifications claimed for it. We were next shown the cut- tings in the sand, all in fine, healthy condition. Next we went to the seed- ling house. Here I made it my espe- cial business to watch Mr. Jablonsky, while he watched the seedlings, and as soon as I discovered that he was getting nervous I suggested it was train time an,! with a vote of thanks to Mr. Baur we departed for New Castle to see roses. Our first stop was at Heller Brothers', of the South Park Floral Co., and right here is where Jablonsky got the laugh on us, for the looks of their roses I must admit did not exactly agree with mc. But I felt much relieved on looking around at my foreman, Mi-. Blixen. You ought to have seen him. I was afraid Mr. Heller would notice it and at once suggested that the smeU of natural gas did not seem to agree with him, as he had never been near any before. When T say that all the stock here is as good as usual, I think it is enough said. Wc stopped at the Benthey greenhouses just long enough to inspect one of the best equipped heating plants either of us had ever seen. A peep at the stock showed it looking very well, and now for home. LONDON AUCTIONS. A. Hem^ley writes that on January 20 there was a very large consignment of Japanese liliums at the auction rooms. There have been several sales previously, but they continue to attract large num- bers of buyers. Among the buyers on the above date were several from long distances. Some of the bulbs offered were the largest I and others have seen. In the catalogue they were aptly de- scribed as ' ' mammoth bulbs. ' ' No ex- ceptionally high prices were made, unless it was for L. speciosum album ; for bulbs of this there was lively competition, the largest being particularly in demand. In all other varieties it was the largest bulbs that attracted most attention. The medium-sized bulbs were bought in largo quantities by market growers. Judging from these sales, it would appear that though the trade may be dull just now. growers anticipate a better time later on. American Pearl tuberoses were sold in large quantities. In all there were up- wards of 200,000 sold. These fetched about 26s. per 1,000. Palm seeds sold well, cspeciallv Cocos Weddeliana and Kentia Belmoreana, but Kentia Forstcr- iana did not make quite such high prices, although the samples were very good. Lily of the valley Fortin 's Giant sold well at about double the prices made by the ordinary Berlin crowns. — Gardeners ' Chronicle. DETROIT. Carnation Convention, The time is fast approacliing when the met ting of the American Carnation So- ciety in Detroit will be a thing of the past and the anxiety of the members of the club to make it a success will have been either realized or attended by fail-' ure. But we have every reason to be- lieve, from the thought and hard work given the matter, both as to staging the stock and the entertainment, that success will crown our efforts, provided we are given the support of the members of the society in attendance and discus- sion of papers and matters of interest to the society. An invitation will be extended by John Breitmeyer's Sons, through Philip Breitmeyer, president of the S. A. F., to visit their plant at Mt. Clemens on Friday morning to see the new rose. La Detroit, and it is hoped that everyone in- terested in roses will accept. Special cars wUl carry the party and I will say that the special brand of rose juice kept in the Breitmeyer cellars at Mt. Clemens is of the purest, for they make it them- selves. Through some oversight the name of the donor of the prJie in the sweepstakes class was omitted from the nremium lists. This should have read ' ' given by Jlichi- gan Cut Flower Exchange. ' ' If this omission was caused by the president he humblv apologizes to the donor. E.\G. CHICAGO. The Market. This has been a week like old times. Business was steadily on the increase, until last Saturday proved to be the best day of the year to date. Local demand has again shown some signs of life and shipping trade is fine. The feature of the situation is the shortage in th3 rose crops. Beauties are hard to get in any good grade and tea I'oses are not equal to the demand by quite a little. Some of the country buyers have pro- tested at what they called "Christmas prices" when charged 10 and 12 cents for Brides and Maids, but that has been the market rate for the select stock. Qualities in the rose department are un- usually good but the unfavorable weather we have had keeps the plants standing still. Carnations are also of very good quali- ty and in large supply, but the daily re- ceipts are being cleaned up in good style and at fair prices. Valley has come to be a good item ; it has been go- ing slowly for a long time. Violets had a couple of good days, Saturday and Sunday, for St. Valentine's. While large quantities were sold it was not possible to advance the price to any considerable degree. Callas and Harrisii are doing well and in fact all bulbous stock is far- ing better than it has. Ferns seem to be running short and the price has been advanced to .$3.50 per thousand. Various Notes. There was considerable disappoint- ment because Lincoln's birthday last Friday had been overlooked in the matter of its effect on the mails. There is only one delivery on a holiday and a good many orders which had not reached the Chicago postofiBce by 8:30 a. m. were not delivered until the next morning. And it is not even possible to get the letters by going to the postoffiee after them, so bear this in mind for Washington's birthday, next Monday, February 22. The Florists ' Club had the last of its outside meetings on the south side last Saturday night. Supper was had at a cafe and adjournment taken to a hall across the street, where W. F. Bums dissertated humorously and patriotically, a gantleman named Woodruff talked ' ' business ' ' and some colored gentlemen whom George Asmus brought along dem- onstrated that they were all right. There was a large attendance and everybody had a good time. The George Wittbold Co. reports no trouble with shipments of plants even in the worst weather of this most severe winter. They shipped specimen plants worth $250 to Smith & Fetters, CTeve- land, the other day and they arrived all right. Their own heated wagon takes the stock to the depot and a letter is sent the day before to the express agent at destination notifying him that the shipment is coming and directing that if the weather is freezing the box be not delivered but set in a warm room and the consignee notified. Bassett & Washburn are grafting 100,- 000 rose plants, probably more than were ever grafted by any rose forcers in the country. Just now the cut they are getting shows the value of grafted stock. Mr. Washburn says thaf their order is now for delivery to them of ninety tons of coal a day. J. A. Budlong has decided to go ahead with four new houses 27x300, which will cover up all his real estate. The main party to the carnation con- vention will leave on the Wabash at 3 p. m., March 1 and another party, in- cluding several with exhibits, will be on the 11 o'clock train. Everyone passing through Chicago is invited to join the local delegation. The secretary of state has licensed the incorporation of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., capital stock $10,000, objects, a gen- eral florists' business, incorporators, Louis Coatsworth, Frank F. Benthey and Philetus Smith. It is stated in political circles that P?ter Eeinberg is likely to receive the democratic aldermanic nomination in the Twenty-sixth ward. On the morning of February 12 fire did $400 damage to the greenhouse of Herman Krause, 7801 Jeffery avenue. The fire started from a defective flue in the boiler shed. C'attleyas have become very scarce. C. W. McKellar reports a nice business on orchids. Kennieott Bros. Co. is getting fine vaUey from Klehm 's. G. E. Pieser, of this house, spent last week in Iowa. Sam Pearee is sending in fine Murillo tulips and other growers are also cutting this variety good for so early. A.

A bowling contest between teams repre- senting the principal cities will be an additional attraction to several. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The social season closed with plenty of business for everybody. The supply of flowers was hardly equal to the demand. Roses and carnations were very scarce, despite good shipments from some of the growers. St. Valentine 's day created a hirge demand for violets, also for pan- sies and myosotis. The only drag on the market was bulbous flowers. La Reine tulips were sold to replace white carna- tions and white roses, but colored tulips wont rather slowly and daffodils dragged badly. Great quantities of smilax have been used lately. White lilac and Har- risii lilies seemed more plentiful and were in demand. The Beauty growers with one or two exceptions appear to be off crop. Brides and Maids are better than at any time this season. Leo Xie'ssen is receiving white poet- icus. C. A. Dunn. The sad death of Clarence A. Dunn, briefly noted in the Review last week, came' with startling suddenness to his many friends. He was absent from busi- ness" but a few days and was supposed to be suffering from a mild attack of grippe. Many have been the expressions of deep sorrow among our florists at the loss of their comrade and of heartfelt sympathy for his family. The funeral last Sunday afternoon was attended by many friends. The wholesalers almost to a man sent floral tributes, as did a num- ber of others. Mr. Dunn was 43 years of age. He had been in the florist busi- ness for over twenty-five years. It is said that he began as a grower in Nor- ristown, coming from there to Robert Craig, at Forty-eighth and Market .streets. Later he had a store in West Philadelphia and then entered the em- ploy of La Roche & Stahl, at Thirteenth and Chestnut streets. AtTien that firm failed he became right hand man to Leo Niessen. Later he occupied the same position at Dumont & Co. 's, where he afterward became a partner. On Sep- tember 1 he started the commission house that bears his name. He leaves a widow and four children. Logao. This well-known place on the old York road has been famous for years for its fine stock of decorative and flowering plants. A flying trip was made there this week for the special purpose of see- ing the carnations. The owner, Mr. Graham, was at his place of business in the city, but the foreman, Mr. Groshans, showed" us the stock under his care. The feature of that part of the place devoted to carnations was a house of Mrs. Law- son with plants full of flowers, many of them measuring four inches across. It was a fine sight, made more striking from the fact that the rule was handled by the husband, if names go for any- thing, of the lady whose name the flower bears. There was a very fine house of white varieties. Gov. Lowndes, Glacier. Gov. Wolcott and Lillian Pond, all full of good flowers. There was another house with interesting seedUngs, one resemb- ling Mrs. Lawson with rather longer stems, but smaller flowers. Another was a dazzUng scarlet. A house of Liberty roses was in good shape, also one of Beauties. There was a splendid lot of decorative and flowering plants that give promise of good results. "At the Sign of the Rose." A visit was paid to that unique shop a few days ago for the purpose of seeing some Bridesmaids, said to be the finest coming into the city at present. They were sent by A. J. Pennoek, the valley specialist, to his brother S. S. Pennoek and had been selected that morning as the cream of a shipment of 500. The flowers were magnificent, their beauty en- hanced by the white lilac with which C. H, Fox had tastefully arranged them. Notes. The business of C. A. Dunn & Oo. will be continued by Charles F. Edgar, who has helped develop it from the start and is thoroughly acquainted with every de- tail. Edwin A. Seidewitz and William Era- ser, of the Baltimore Exchange, were in this city lately. James Verner is shipping some very fine Brides and Maids to Leo Niessen, whose stock of these roses is remarkable. In Andre, Bevis, Campbell and Verner he has a quartette of tea rose growers hard to equal. Edward Reid is handling the fine val- ley from W. P. Stokes mentioned last week. The Flower Market's Beauties, lilacs and violets have been highly praised -by the critics. Answ^ers to Cotrespondeats. Review readers are invited to send any questions relating to culture or mar- keting of plants and flowers in Philadel- phia to Phil, in care of any of the lead- ing seed or commission houses or the Flower Market. Each question will be submitted to a competent person and an- swered under number. Correct name and address must always accompany inquiry, but will not be published. Question No. 6: — What are the best varieties of white dahlia for fall bloom- ing? Without doubt Storm King and .John Walker. They are both equally good. Storm King should not be plant- ed early if for fall blooming and on the other haud John Walker requires earlier planting. Storm King responds to high cultivation with immense quantities of finest flowers. John Walker, being a late bloomer and developing to perfection during the late, cool weather, we can get the very best from it with little at- tention after Storm King is over. Phil. NEW YORK. The Market. The market has been as steady as we anticipated during the past week and the average prices of the past ten days have been maintained. It remains for Wed- nesday to demonstrate the influence of Lent and the reduction in festivities among the 400. Little change of impor- tance has marked the advent of the sack- cloth in ashes period of late years and this will hardly be an exception to the new rule. We look for a fairly good market until Easter. If any decided slump occurs it will be in violets. Even last week fine boxes of specials went down the line appealing in vain for rec- ognition at over 60 cents per 100. Many of the wholesalers who handle hundreds of thousands weekly anticipate 50 cents as high mark from now on, so enormous is the crop and so overwhelming are likely to be the shipments, judging by other years. Roses seem to hold steady and occa- sionally add a little to the regular price. Beauties of the best grade even touch CiO cents. Brides and Maids remain as cjuoted a week ago. Liberty is abundant and a goodly supply of Sunrise and Gol- den Gate is seen in the retail windows. The carnation supply is sufficient for all demands and the quality superb. Some grand Prosperity and Enchantress com- mand 10 cents. The ordinary grades are lower and abundant. Cattleyas have ad- vanced to 50 and 60 cents again. Lily of the valley has to be of extra grade to bring $2 per 100 and in large quantities has sold as low as .$10 per 1000. Good lilies still hold at 10 to 12 cents and bulbous stock increases in quantity daily. St. Valentine 's day fell on Sunday and fell flat, too, so far as helpfulness to the flower market goes, for the influence of the Saint was more than discounted by the immense shipments of violets, in an- ticipation of an increased demand which did not materialize. Various Items. Langjahr is handling some special valley and violets and is confident he has made no mistake in making New York his headquarters. Saltford shows with pride some large shipments daily of grand Lawsons from V. H. Pilat, of Ossining, N. Y. The Stumpp & Walter Co. is making extensive improvements in its store on Barclay street, including a new front with an abundance of mirrors, making it very attractive and up-to-date. Geo. H. Goldner, formerly with Reed & Kel- ler, is now traveling for this firm. J. G. Leikens and wife have returned from an anniversary trip to Montreal and other Canadian cities. The white palace is now completed and Mr. Siebrecht has the credit of having brought into being the most beautiful flower store in the world. Wednesday evening last the American Institute inaugurated its new departure, holding its monthly meetings in the even- ing. The change promises well. The attendance was far in excess of the af- ternoon average, over fifty being pres- ent. Splendid specimens of many of the best varieties of orchids were displayed by Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, N. J. C. W. Schneider, of Irvington, read a paper on leaf mold for orchids, which was discussed by Messrs. Siebrecht and Lager. Secretary Barron read a very in- teresting essay by E. 0. Orpet, of Lan- caster, Mass., on cool orchids, which was followed by a stereopticon exhibition of colored slides from the collection of Mrs. Van Brunt. Many ladies were in attend- ance. J. W. Ludwig, of Pittsburg, was in the city last week, as well as Harry May, of Summit, and L. Small, of Tewksbury. Mr. May reports his father still very ill and unable to leave his room. Chas. Dards, the retail florist, has de- parted for an outing in the sunny south. William J. Elliott has about decided to cut out his Bermuda trip. The auc- tions begin in less than a month and the bowling contests, annual dinners and rapidly increasing spring business makes absence undesirable. Patrick Welch was so delighted with the carnation night at the club that he FliBKUAIIV 18. lOO-t The Weekly Florists' Review. 603 prolonged his stay in the city among hit brother wholesalers for several days. At the rose night of the New York Florists ' Club, March 14, Eobert Simp- son, of Clifton, N. J., will read a paper and all the prominent rose growers of the east have already signified their in- tention of exhibiting and many from the west are expected. The club dinner on Saturday evening promises well. Mr. Sheridan announces that a good attendance is already as- sured and orders for tickets are coming in daily, many of them from the neigh- boring cities. It is expected that nearly 100 will attend. President Traendly will be toastmaster. The Millang brothers, Charles, Frank, Joe and Gus, on Sunday celebrated the seventieth birthday of their mother, at her residence in Bayside. The old lady is hale and hearty and greatly enjoyed the family reunion and the gifts with which the boys were ladeu. On Febru- ary 15, eighteen years ago, Frank Mil- lang, Sr., died, the father of this har- monious quartette, himself a florist of many years' experience and the son of a Belgian florist. The Millang boys en- joy the good will of everybody in the trade and are themselves good examples of harmony and unselfishness, of whom their honored mother is justly proud. The prize bowling contest on Monday evening was a thriller and proved a most successful departure from the beaten track. So much so that monthly prize contests have been decided upon. The second game of the evening was chosen as the test of nerve and skill and re- sulted as follows: Gibbs 191 Silver cigar cutter. Haffiier 168 Box cigars. Siebreclit 156 Homemade wienerworsts. Guttman 125 Pair of vases. Mansfield 120 Six silli neckties. Sbaw 116 Handsome stein. Bennett Ill Fane.v cane. Butterfield 106 Bottle champagne. Nugent 92 Bottie Wilson Whisliej'. Traendly 89 Bottie Nervine. Lenlier 73 Bottie brandy. By a Strange coincidence the bowlers whose scores show the need of stimulants chose them. An excellent dinner fol- lowed the evening's sport and many vis- itors arrived before the games were over. The best scores for the evening follow, not including the prize contest: Guttman 113 139 Traendiy 132 lliS Gibbs 116 lis 152 Smith 147 135 146 Young 117 192 118 Mansfield 138 167 142 173 Sampson 122 122 91 130 Nugent 69 90 108 141 Hatfncr 134 171 114 Bennett 162 106 137 123 Lcnlier .' 43 67 66 97 Slebrecht 148 151 138 133 Butterfleid 147 158 137 121 Shaw 147 151 138 133 J. Austin Shaw. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The condition of the cut flower market is not very satisfactory to the retail trade at the present time. Prices seem to go up and down every other day. The same can be said of stock; one day there is plenty and the next hardly enough to fill orders. The demand was very brisk the latter part of the week. There was an extra call for St. Valentine's day. which seems to have come to be one of the florists' busy days, as most of the re- tailers were busy sending out boxes of cut flowers for valentines. The greatest call was for violets and the wholesale men slipped up the price to 75 cents and $1 per 100. It is claimed that some 40,000 violets were disposed of on last Saturday and about as many more on Sunday. All of these were California, of the finest quality, as double violets have very little call in this market. Roses, which it was thought a week ago would be more plentiful, are again very scarce and a great many orders could not be filled on Saturday. Brides are selling at from $6 to $12 per 100 and Maids from $5 to $10 per 100. Liberty and Meteor run from $4 to $10 per' 100. Good Beauties seem out of the question in this market, with shorts and medium grades only in limited quantity. Carnations are quite plentiful, with r good demand for the best stock. The past week our wholesalers sent out some very fancy stock of White Cloud, Law- son, Prosperity, Enchantress, Triumph and Estelle. Prices on these ranged from $3 to $5 per 100, a few common sorts go- ing at $2. Any white sells well. Smi- lax, asparagus, adiantum and bronze galas are in good demand, with no ad- vance in price. The wholesale houses are still well stocked up with bulb stuff. Roman hya- cinths, Paper "Whites and lilv of the val- ley are in abundance. Tulips seem to sell well of late. Harrisii are still lim- ited as to quantity. Callas are more plentiful. Freesias are a drug. Dutch hyacinths are not over-plentiful and sell well. As to prices they remain as last reported. Club Meeting;. On last Thursday afternoon the Flor- ists ' Club held the best attended and most interesting meeting in its history, it being our annual carnation meeting. The exhibits of carnation blooms were large and fine. From the outside came a large vase from R. Witterstaetter, Cin- cinnati, of the Cardinal, a beautiful red. BauT & Smith, of Indianapolis, sent a magnificent bunch of Indianapolis. Cor- ner & Sons Co., of La Fayette, sent the Belle and Lady Bountiful. The Chicago Carnation Company, of JoUet, staged the grand Crusader, Fiancee, Harlowarden and Dorothy Whitney. The Thompson Company also showed several varieties. All of the above made a beautiful dis- play and all were staged in the east end of the hall. The local exhibits were staged in the west end. J. F. Ammann showed a vase of White Cloud and Queen Louise ; F. W. LTde, Enchantress and Prosperitv; John Steidle, Harlowarden and En- chantress; St. Louis Carnation Company, White Cloud ; A. Jablonsky, Peru, and Frank Fillmore a vase of well grown mixed varieties. Visitors at the meeting were James Hartshorne and J. D. Thomp- son, of Joliet; George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, and Martin Eeukauf, of Philadelphia. The meeting opened at 2 o 'clock and the attendance reached forty by 3 p. m. Three new members were elected, Mr. Rotenhoefer, Hugo Gross and John Steinecke. These gentlemen are request- ed to attend the next meeting of the club. F. W. Maas, of the St. Louis Seed Co., made application for membership. James Gurney, of Tower Grove Park, was made an honorary member of the club. The judges appointed by the president on the local exhibits were J. D. Thomp- son, F. C. Weber and Theo. Miller; on out-of-town exhibits, John Steidle, Wm. Winter and A. Jablonsky. On home grown stock results were as follows: John Steidle, first; F. W. Tide, Jr., sec- ond, and A. Jablonsky, third. The re- port on exhibition stock was as follows: The Cardinal, very fine red, large flow- ers with long stiff stems; The BeUe and Lady Bountiful, very fine, large flowers, very good white; ludianapoUs, best pink yet seen; Chicago Carnation Co., Fiancee and Crusader attracted a great deal of attention and were voted the best of their kind; Harlowarden and Dorothy Whit- ney also came in for their share of praise from the judges. The Thompson ex- hibits came in for their share of com- ment, being fine blooms. Frank Fillmore 's essay on ' ' Carna- tion Growing ' ' was very interesting and the essayist was frequently applauded during the reading. E. W. . Guy next led a discussion on propagating carna- tions. Mr. Guy showed from a plant how they used to make cuttings years ago and how they are made at the present time. This brought out a long discus- sion between Messrs. Hartshorne and Thompson, of Joliet, and Messrs. Dun- ford, i"111more and Guy, of St. Louis. This really was one of the features of the meeting. J. ■ F. Ammann next gave a very interesting reading of his trip through Indiana and Chicago, in which ha paid a high compliment to all those they visited and told of the fun he had at the expense of his friend Jablonsky. The next meeting of the club will be held March 3, at 2 o 'clock. At this meeting J. H. Hadkinson will read an essay on ' ' Landscape Gardening at the World's Fair," and Henry Emmons will lead a discussion on propagating gerani- ums. The entertainment and ball which will be given by the Florists ' Club will take place Friday night, February 19. This promises to be one of the finest affairs ever given by the club. The hall will be handsomely decorated with plants and wild smUax. A fine band of music has been engaged for the occasion. The en- tertainment will be furnished by local talent from the club members. Ice cream, coffee and cake will be served. The committee reports that a large num- ber of tickets have already been dis- posed of. Committee Meeting. The arrangement committee met at Weber's store last Friday night and completed the arrangements for the en- tertainment of the executive committee, which meets here March 5. The banquet will be held at the Missouri Athletic Club on Saturday night, March 5. On Sunday a troUey ride to the World's Fair grounds to be entertained by Messrs. Taylor and Hadkinson, of the horticultural department. Monday will be spent in the selection of the meeting and exhibition hall and a general call on the trade and perhaps a bowling game before train time. The AVorld's Fair flower show commit- tee met the same night and made out its lists and the dates on which certain cut flowers and plants will be exhibited. It was also decided that the club would hold its annual flower show in Novem- ber in the Horticultural building, with the usual prizes, including the Shaw premiums. The prizes will be large and will no doubt attract all of the largest growers in the country. Various Notes. We have been favored with a great many visitors the past week. Among them were B. W. Greenlaw, representing N. F. McCarthy, of Boston; B. Eschner, 60 1 The Weekly Florists' Review. I'^EBKLARV IS, 1904. of M.

J. B. RANDOM NOTES. I notice in your issue of February 4, John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, speaks highlv of Carnation Glacier. He has grown it ever since it was first sent out and is well qualified to pass on it. Horn & Bro., Allentown, Pa., tell me it is their best white. They grow sweral other whites, but none is so satisfac- tory with them. Gov. Bliss is their fav- orite scarlet. Alpine Glow is an excel- lent substitute for Morning Glory. These two were selected by them at C. W. Ward's, where they were seen in splendid shape. Messrs. Horn have faith in Adonis and will give it a good show next season. Lawson, here as elsewhere, is the standard pink. The extent of this place is 42,000 square feet of glass, well built houses, fine stock, supplies two stores. Enchantress will be given a trial. I saw a grand lot of this beautiful variety at H. W. Fields. Northampton, Mass. His whole plant was devoted to the newer kinds. Harry Sinclair, the able grower, is of the opinion that the absence of sunlight seemed to affect many of the older kinds, more so than the newer. Your estemed correspondent, George S. Osborn, of Hartford, Conn., was slow- ly recovering from a serious illness at the time of my visit. His busy life partner was doing her best to stimulate the plants into bloom and I question, had the boss been around, if he could do much better with weather conditions such as we have been experiencing of late. John Coombs says he never saw anything like it, but rubbed his hands with satisfaction as he looked over the sea of buds bearing promise of a tre- mendous crop soon. Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass., says this has been a banner plant sea- son. Frank Burfitt, his grower, is a past master in the art. A. N. Pierson "liips much of his choicet-t cut stock to .•\ it ken. It was McKinlev day during my visit to Wilkesbarre, where Ira G. Marvin was handing out his fine stock as fast as it could be sent in from his big plant at Plymouth. (Seorge R Clark, Seranton, Pa., was too busy to talk, but insisted on my wearing a bloom rubbered with one of MicheU's bands. An excellent thing in its way, but I tumbled onto an invisible wire at a big plant the other day which heats all for originality and usefulness. Jno. B. Tully. of Binghaniton, N. Y., is sick. This winter of hard firing has knocked out many of our old friends who do their own firing. Mrs. Barnes has been indisposed for sometime. Her right hand man, H. Wilbur, looks after the stock most cleverly. At Elmira I learned quite a little re- garding the new plant which has created so much interest through this section. H. N. Hoffman is in close touch with it. His stock is looking in splendid shape; sun evidently been shining since my last visit. G. P. Rawson is giving his at- tention to the store end of his big con- cern since Mr. Durand has embarked in business, expecting to handle locally the cut from the new company. A. H. Woeppel, of Corning, got his new plant running before cold weather set in and says he has had a fine season, stock doing better than in the old place. Hn has an industrious family who contrib- ute to and share in his successes. W. A. Wettlin, of Hornellsville, has been under the weather for some time. Business has been good, stock scarce and high. Alfred Patrick, of Auburn, is delighted with the rose, Ivory, which he can grow as large as Beauty. He intends grow- ing La Detroit. Will Cass, of Geneva, N. Y., has been re-elected alderman for the tenth term, sliowing the esteem in which he is held by his fellow citizens. " Fred Goldring. of Slingerlands, N. Y., says roses grew and sold better this season than for years past. The bulk of his glass is devoted to the queen of flowers. Violets failed with him, just at the right time, when prices did not pay to raise them. G. L. Graham, of Bradford, Pa., has a sport of Lawson variegated. It prom- ises to be a rival to Bradt. The new greenhouse plant is in running order. DENVER. COLO. BowUng in the West. The florists, like many other profes- sional men, need a little recreation once in a while, but out here in this western country there are not many pastimes that have any attraction for the posey man. At this time of the year bowling seems to take the fancy of quite a num- ber of the fraternity and it is indulged in to a considerable extent and is looked upon as a legitimate sport rather than a fad for the fashionable. Among the florists there are a few who are entitled to special note. First is N. A. Benson, our carnationist. who now stands near the top of the city league of bowlers. In his two last contests, of five games each, he rolled a total of 2,018 pins, which is an average of over 200 per game. This contest is for the World's Fair prize, which is a free trip and all expenses to the World's Fair at St. Louis this sum- mer. If Ben gets there the top notchers of last year at Milwaukee will find it a hard matter to retain their honors. Phil Scott and Albert Mauff are two others who are bowling with the City League and are holding their own in fast com- pany, especially Scott, who now litis an average of 182 in thirty-six games. In the amateur class, which comprises the old timers, such as Berry, Glauber and Kurth, and a lot of young aspirants, the scores are also significant because of their diminutive character, and the chances for strengthening the convention team is not very encouraging just now. although strenuous efforts are being made by this division of the bowling fraternity. Up to the first of January of this year the following scores were made by the most frequent attendants: Player — Games. Total. Average. Chcs. Benson 31 4994 155 John Berry 31 4562 147 Geo.

Valentine has presented a val- uable trophy to be contested for by the members.' It is known as the Park Floral Company trophy and is made in the style of eight gold bars of smootli surface for engi-aving and linked to- gether. The eight pieces represent the eight months of the rcntest and tiiereon is"^ engraved the name of the successful individual each month. Frank Eraser is having the honor of wearing the prize during the month of February, his in- crease being 12 per cent over his record, l;. S. Mahan is the other contestant who made any material gain, but is only one- half that of Eraser's. This premium has created an incentive to become proficient i:i this manly sport. On February 6 the Colorado Springs boys paid us" a visit and gave us a chance to return compliments but, as the dose was small and not bitter, they took their medicine with very good grace.

We have had no time to go salmon fishing in the Columbia river since re- porting on the Christmas trade. Janu- ary sales showed a most substantial in- crease over the same month a year ago. Portland has recently been honored with several large gatherings of noted men, the most important from the florists ' standpoint being the stockmen 's conven- tion, for which some very elaborate dec- orations were made. Honors were evenly divided, as we were all given an oppor- tunity to display our skill in the spacious banquet hall. ~ The excessive demand for funeral work is more than one ordinarily expects in midwinter and everything home grown, as well as daily shipments from Califor- nia, is quickly disposed of. The Califor- nia growers are shipping in consign- ments of ten-inch stem violets and car- nations which retail at $1.50 and $2 per dozen. We regret to say that we could not follow the custom of the eastern cities in observing McKinley day, although it was our intention to do so, but we simply could not get the necessary flowers. A Visitor. Gradually the traveling salesmen are reaching into the northwest. The latest arrival was John R. Fotheringham, rep- resenting F. E. Pierson Co., of Tarry- town-on-Hudson. This makes his third trip to the coast. It was noticeable that John was more sedate than while here a year ago, as nothing could induce him to take in a Scotch high ball or a variety show. He had to confess to a course lec- ture from Mrs. F. on his departure from home. H. J. M. East STRorrosBrRO, Pa. — Oscar Stem- pie, formerly a florist, died February 8 and the death notices chronicle the fact that he requested that no flowers be used at his funeral. COBLESKILI., N. Y. — The boiler shed at the greenhouses of Alfred Goldring was discovered to be on fire February 4. It was a stubborn fight, but the fire depart- ment extinguished the blaze with but little loss.

Hale, KnoxvlUe, Tenn.: Vlce-Pres., P. A. Weber, St. Louis; See'y. Geo. C. Seager, Kochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates. Rochester, N. Y. The twenty-elehth annual convention will be held at Atlanta. Ga., June. 1U04. J. A. Taylor, Wynnewood, I. T., has been elected president of the Oklahoma Horticultural Society. The Ben Davis apple grown in Colo- rado takes on a particularly high color and is preferred in eastern markets on that account. F. W. IMallt, of Garrison, Tex., re- ports a good outlook in the nursery trade of the southwest. He has been at Houston recently. Samuel Rogers, of Mt. Holly, N. J., will retire from active business, leaving the management of the nurseries in the hands of his son. N. E. Hansen, of Brookings, S. D., has recently received four good sized shipments- of hardy fruit trees from the north of Europe. The nurserymen at Geneva, N. Y.. re- port a light fall because of the short planting season, but have a good lot of orders on tile and expect a big spring season. E. Gill of West Berkeley, and the California Nursery Co., of JSfiles, were awarded the contracts to supply the towns of Oakland and Berkeley with American white elms for planting on the public streets. GRAND RAPIDS. The Market. Extreme cold weather still prevails. The mercury hugs the zero point as if loath to leave it, unless to drop back into its snug retreat 10 below, where It can usually be found after nightfall. Once it) crawled up above freezing to see what was going on and forgot the way back and such a thaw as we did have; water, water everywhere, not a dry spot to set your feet. Last week would have been quiet, but for the funerals of sev- eral prominent citizens, including Fred Macey, the mail order furniture man. The quantity of flowers used was enor- mous and cleaned out every florist in town. Flowers, particularly roses, are very scarce. American Beauties are unobtain- able, except shorts, and these move fair- ly well. Carnations are in good crop and equal to the demand. Callas and Harrisii are scarce. Except Paper Whites, that people don't care for, and Romans, there is practically no bulb stock to offer. Prices remain stiff. Various Notes. Henry Van Hartesveldt Bros, have gone into bankruptcy, with liabilities of over $3,000, and numerous florists among the creditors. They ran the Fifth Avenue Floral Co. greenhouses, which have been sold to the Wealthy Avenue Floral Co., which tore them down and will erect two new houses out of the glass and material obtained. A groceryman. Porter by name, lon^r enrious of the get rich quick habit of the florists, has decided to make his for- tune, purchasing two acres of land on Burton avenue near South Division street and intends to put up a .$10,000 plant to grow cut flowers for the Chi- cago market. Tlie Grand Rapids Floral Co. has put in another eighty horse-power boiler to mate the one obtained in Chicago early in the spring. Crabb & Hunter's boiler at the lake sprung a leak during the severest weather and caused some uneasiness, but was temporarily stopped by putting l)ran in the boiler. It worked its way down into the crack and stopped it en- tirely, so now it does not leak a drop and is hoped will hold out till spring. Anticipating po.ssible trouble, a thrash- ing machine engine was hunted up, with the end in view of connecting it with the supply pipe in the boiler room while repairs were being made. Hancock, of Grand Haven, was over during the week canvassing for rooted cuttings of. carnations, particularly of the new kinds, of which he booked sev- eral nice orders. It has been too cold to think much about the carnation convention, but it is safe to predict a good delegation, with hopes of the best meeting vet. G. F.

CAULIFLOWER. Suceessional sowings and plantings may still be made in the greenhouse or, if the space is wanted for other things, plantings may be made in cold frames from this time on. Cauliflower Ukes a good rich soil and no kind of manure suits it better than that from the barn- yard, only this should not be used in too fresh a state. Cauliflower is a deep root- er, so the soil in the frames should be well dug up and the manure thoroughly incorporated. As I recommended for let- tuce in a former article, prepare the soil a few days previous and bare the sash to the sun in the day time and cover up at night to get the soil as warm as possi- ble before planting; also have the plants gradually hardened off, so they will not receive a check. For crops nearing maturity indoors a little nitrate of soda given at intervals of three or four days will be of great as- sistance to swell the heads. In large houses _ it may be most expedient tn mis this in quantity, allowing about one ounce to two gallons of water, but where a small quantity only is wanted it may be more convenient to mix it as it is used, simply adding about a teaspoonful to a ten-quart can of water. The nitrate being easily soliible, all that is necessarv is to stir the water a little when adding it and it will be almost immediately dis- solved. It is better to apply this and kindred manures when the soil is not too dry or, if the soil is dry, give a watering of clear water first and apply the fer- lilizeir after the water has drained off. The oper.ator should be careful not to wet the foliage with the liquid or burn- ing may result. W. S. Croyeon. PIPING VEGETABLE HOUSES.'^ i We have two houses 25x85 feet, with no partition wall, and another housv' 21x75. They run north and south, one . ten feet to ridge, and have four-foot side walls with side ventilators every four feet aU around the outside. The two larger houses have solid beds, the small- er house raised benches. The boiler shed nms along the north end and a twenty- five horse-power boiler sits in a pit four > feet deep. How shall we arrange the piping to get the condensed steam back to the boiler without a steam trap? The houses are used for lettuce and cucum- bers and 50 degrees at night is required when it is below zero outside. A 2-incb flow and 1^4 -inch returns are to be used. C. W. The condensed steam may easily be returned to the boiler from each of the 25x85 houses by arranging the piping over the benches so as to bring the low- est point in the radiating system at least twenty inches above the water line in the boiler. The height of the water line will, I judge, be about five feet above the bottom of the ash pit, or one foot above the floor of the greenhouses. By placing the radiating pipes eighteen to twenty inches above the benches the condensation wiU return to the boiler on the gravity system. There should be a 2-inch riser running from the main supply pipe under the ridge to the south end of each house, where it should divide and return in 114-inch pipes over the benches. The. house, 21x95 feet, can be heated by compact coils placed on the outside walls close to the gutters. If there is not room for more than three pipes between the top of the bench and the gutter, one coil can be placed in front of the other, say a three-pipe coil against the wall and a two-pipe coil in front. These can be arranged with valves so that either coil can be used independently, or so both can be used at the same time. By such an arrangement the condensation can be returned to the boiler without traps or vacuum pump. If the boiler is not al- ready set and it is possible to make the boiler pit eighteen inches or two feet deeper it should be done by all means. L. C. C. Seed Trade News. AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOOATION. Pres., S. P. ■Wlllard, Wethersfield. Conn.: First Vice-Pres., J. Chas. McCuUoueh, Cincinnati, O.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. The 22d annual meeting will be held at St, Louis, Mo„ June, 1904. New Yokk. — C. P. Braslan and Mrs. Braslan, of San Jose, Cal., are at the Waldorf-Astoria. T. J. CoRBRET has bought a tract of five acres at Long Beach, Cal., and will engage in the business of growing flower seeds. The mail order houses generally are hopgful that a break in the weather wUl make up the January and February shortages of orders. Fifteen seed firms with from one to four repressutatives each made the can- ners ' convention seem like a minority meeting of the American Seed Trade As- sociation. The Griffith & Turner Co., Baltimore, announce that the loss of their Light street store will not interfere with busi- ness, as their warehouse was outside the burned district. The Missouri Valley Seed Co., St. Joseph, 5Io., entertained the Platte County Purchase and the Buchanan County Horticultural Societies at lunch at its warehouse, February 6. The developments of the week show an active demand for Valentine beans. The wax sorts are holding stiff at the quotations of last week and in some cases an advance of 50 cents to $1 per bushel has been obtained. The weather thus far has been such as to give no idea of what the real de- mand is to be and many of the items in the seed lists that are thought to be more or less of a drug may be in quite brisk demand before the trade realizes actual conditions. Canners claim that some Evergreen corn was offered at the convention as low as $5 per bushel, but it was not admitted that the offers were for stock of depend- able quality. The high prices for market onions and the recent sharp stiffening of the onion set market should aid in lifting the de- pression caused by an oversupply of onion seed, where this condition prevails. The question of germinating quality continues to regulate the price of sweet corn. The inquiries for an article that will test up to 85 per cent are more abundant than offerings. Low prices are no inducement where there is any doubt about good vitality. The following seed firms were repre- sented at the canners' convention held the past week at Columbus, Ohio: Jerome B, Rice Seed Co., Everett B. Clark Co., S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Livingston Seed Co., Vaughan's Seed Store, Goodwin, Harries Co., John H. Allan Seed Co., D. M. Ferry & Co., Harry N. Holmes Seed Co., W. H. Grennel, L, J, Coryell Seed Co., L. L.

The annual rose show was held last Saturday in the club rooms of the so- ciety and, considering how scarce this flower is at the present time, it was a decided success. Among the exhibitors was W. K. Partridge, who made a grand show of roses, also many vases of the newest varieties of carnations, all extra well grown. George & Allan also staged some fine stock. Their roses, especially, were extra and reflect much credit upon this firm. They also showed various kinds of bulbous stock, all nicely forced. The E. G. Hill Co. sent some fine speci- mens of their roses, a vase of Liberty being the finest I have ever seen of this rose. It was truly magnificent and if their new crimson rose is still better, it will be a world beater. E. Witterstaetter staged a vase of The Cardinal, better known, perhaps, as im- proved Estelle. It was in fine shape, and I would advise growers to have their eyes open for it at Detroit. Baur & Smith sent a vase of their Indianapolis. It arrived in good shape and showed up finely. J. W. Eodgers made the only exhibit of violets and showed some nicely grown Princess of Wales and California. I am sorry to report that a vase of La Detroit did not arrive until Sunday morn- ing. It was on exhibition at E. G. Gil- lett's wholesale house and all who saw it seemed to be very favorably im- pressed. Some blooms of Crusader and Harlowarden from the Chicago Carna- tion Co. also arrived late but they were in fine shape. Theo. Bock, of Hamilton, was the judge, and the awards were as follows: W. K. Partridge, first on Bridesmaid, Bride, Meteor, Golden Gate, Ivory and on best general display; second on Beauty and Liberty. George & Allan, second on Maid, Bride, Meteor and Perle. The E. G. Hill Co., first on Liberty, sec- ond on Ivory and third on Bride and Bridesmaid. Mr. Eodgers got the prize for violets. A meeting of the society was held in the evening. Chas. Murphy was taken ia as a new member. James Harts- horfae was made an honorary member. Fred H. Lemon was present at the meet- ing and made an interesting talk concern- ing the new roses of The E. G. Hill Co. The Market. Business is now very good, with stock scarce. Roses and carnations are far below the demand, and first-class prices are ruling.

I6th street, OMAHA, NEB. PACIFIC COAST. BULBS, Referring to recent references in the Review to bulbs for early forcing, E. Leedhani. of the Leedham Bulb Co., Santa Cruz, t'al., says that early ripen- ing of tlie bulbs greatly facUitates earl,y forcing. Though he does no forcing in the sense the word is used in the east, he gets earlier and a better quality of blooms by planting undei' cover. It has been an advantage to him to afterward ril>en up the bulbs as soon as possible and he soon noted that those bulbs which had been ripened early bloomed earlier the following season. He now has bulbs of datTodils that have teen ripened early for several years in succession and these bloom very much earlier than others. This is cspncially noticeable in Golden Spur. Ard Righ, single Von Sion and Trumpet JIajor, though the latter is full of old maid freakishness. Even Prineeps and oth- ers show the tendency to earlier oloom- ing when the bulbs are ripened early. To ripen the bulbs early in Santa Cruz they must be protected from the late spring rains. Though he has so far used all the increase in his liulbs for planting for cut flowers, he believes the bulbs can be produced here as economi- cally as abroad and of better quality. He says also that early ripened Cali- fornia grown daffodil bulbs of the early varieties could be delivered in the east via Panama in early August. PLANT NOTES. Rose Pruning. This little note is not intended to give any ideas regarding the pruning of forc- ing roses that are grown under glass, "but merely a few suggestions as to the trimming of bushes that are grown either as ornamental shrubs or climbers for the garden or kept for commercial purposes, whetlier as stock plants or for flowering purposes. The best time for rose pruning depends to a great extent on the weather, but is usually during the months of -January and February. They should be as near dormant as it is possi- ble to have them and when the roses have been watered considerably, late in the season or when we have ])lenty of early rains and very little cold weather, the plants continue to bloom and grow far into the winter. In such seasons the best time for trimming the plants will probably be about the first to the middle of Februarv. »f "a Wei Wail from the Woods (m»n)" "Quality Counts ("THAT'S ALL") This stock can be had only direct from the Introducers or their agents.

Hybrid perjjetnals anil hybrid teas will stand much moie cutting than the tea loses. In fact. I have fuund that many of our finest teas do not respond readily when the shears are applied vigorously and unless I need the wood for propaga- tinjf purposes I trim very sparingly, and tlien onlj' the small side shoots and such stems as are necessary to leave a shape- ly plant. Such sorts as Niphetos, Bride, Bridesmaid, Catherine Jlermet. Papa Gontier. Eainbow and Marie ^'an Hou- tte, certainly our most valuable garden roses, I find belong to tlie class that will not stand any slashing with the knife. With hydrid i)erpetual roses such care need not be taken, and my rule is to cut out all lateral shoots and leave only three or four good stiff stems, as these will be ample to handle all the flowering stems that the roots can supply.

This is not a very extensive list, but these are the most satisfactory kinds to handle and there is no difficulty in sell- ing the blooms, which, in the springtime and again in the fall, bring as good a price, when well grown, as do the indoor roses at the same time.

In sandy soil roses are generally not very long- lived and unless the ground is kept con- stantly enriched the blossoms are not up to form or color. None of the climb- ing roses is of much value commercially for cut flowers and all of them will stand considerable pruning. Leave the strong, straight canes and trim out the short, crooked wood. • Roses are very rank feeders and un- less the soil is heavy and rich it is hard to make them do well except for a few weeks in the spring. The lifetime of a rose depends on many conditions, but I have found that they generally outlive their commercial usefulness in about four years, although I have a La Marque that has been growing on my grounds for over thirty years and from which I cut thousands of blossoms yearly. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The rain for which we have been look- ing finally arrived and this portion of California received a good drenching. This will keep violets in good shape and make daffodils and other bulbous stuff appear in larger quantities than for some time. The wild maidenhair has been very scarce this season and many of the florists rely to a great extent on it at this time of the year, to say nothing of the street venders, who are the largest consumers. Carnations are still well up in price and not very plentiful. Some of the fancy varieties are selling at 7.5 STRONGLY ROOTED CARNATIONS - NOW Ready. GBOWN' OUT OF DOOBS AITD BOOTED WITHOUT HEAT.

The Richmond Florists' Club held its January meeting at the greenhouses of its president, George E. Gause. After routine business Fred H. Lemon read an excellent paper, discussing the drawbacks to successful carnation growing, together with experiments with different fertiliz- ers and the results obtained therefrom. The paper and the discussion which fol- lowed, participated in by all the mem- bers of the club, proved both interesting and instructive and could not help but be of material benefit to all. Mr. Lemon appointed L. H. Schepman to prepare a paper for the February meeting and as each one is allowed to select his own sub- ject, a large variety of topics will no doubt be the result. Various Notes. John A. Evans, not to be behind the rest of the boys, has come to the front with another fine son. All well. The February meeting of the club will be held at the Grave greenhouses west of the city. At the close of the meeting at Gause 's, several waiters appeared with hot coffee, sandwiches and fruit, and the way it disappeared showed that the members of the club had their appetites with them. H. C. C. KANSAS CITY. Florists have been very busy and stock the scarcest that I have ever seen it. Everybody had funeral work the early part of the week. Bride and Gol- den Gate roses were not to be had at any price and everybody was looking for them. Maid and Sunrise are our only stock in roses. Beauties are off crop here. Carnations are as scarce as they were after the holidays. Lilies, tu- lips and other bulbous stock is coming in more plentifully and is a great help. Every florist in tovm reports the big- gest Valentine business ever known in red carnations and violets, and stock was not near enough to go around. Arnold Eingier, of Barnard 's, was in town and seemed to be doing a big busi- ness with everybody. L. M. S.

DREER, 714 Chestnut Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Mention The Review when yoo write. NEW HAVEN. CONN. The majority of violet growers of this town are disgusteol with the prices re- ceived and the amount of flowers called for. Several of the growers are getting ready to pull their plants out and rent the space to truck gardeners, who are expecting a late spring and cannot see any chance of using cold frames this year. Others are going to raise tomatoes and cucumbers in their houses for spring sale. It has been rumored that Get). Hunter and Geo. Xeil are both willing to rent or sell their places on account of the slump in violets this year and that E, J. Morse is going to put one of his violet houses into carnations. J. H. Slocombe is going to put one of his vio- let houses into carnations and also to build another carnation house, ilr, Kraus has turned his large houses into sweet peas and it looks as if he would have a fine crop by June, if not before. The past week has seen a let up as far as the cold weather is concerned and flowers sold better. The demand for cut flowers for St. Valentine 's day was like a Christmas rush and everything sold well at good prices. S, H, W, Geo. Wittbold Go. 1657 Buckingham Place, CHICAGO, ILL.

The Market, The market conditions are about the same as last reported, except on carna- tions, which are meeting with better de- mand, due to the scarcity of all kinds of roses. The supply of good and fancy carnations is large. Tulips, narcissi and other bulbous stock is in good demand. On Easter lilies the supply is gradually increasing. Prices on all good stock hare advanced somewhat and weather conditions are still unfavorable. St. Val- entine's day created no special demand for stock. Various Notes. Ernest Zieger, manager of C. T. Sie- bert's retail branch, reports business good, with a number of good sized deco- ration orders before Lent. Pittsburg will be well represented at the carnation convention at Detroit next month; so far the delegation will num- ber fifteen persons. S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, and D. MacEorie, representing W. A. Manda, were visitors last week. Hoo-Hoo. OCEANIC, N.J. The eighth annual ball of the Mon- mouth County Horticultural Society was held in Eedmen 's hall February 12 and was the grandest affair of the season and the best ball the society ever had. Over 100 couples were in the grand march and about 250 guests were present. The hall was beautifully decorated with garlands of flags and flowers and around the pic- ture of President Lincoln was a beautiful wreath of poinsettias donated by G. H. Hale. Eefreshments were served at 12 o'clock. Those who were not dancing had some enjoyments of their own, but this is not to be given away. A search is being made for those who did not come. The committee of arrangements were W. H. Griffiths, H. A. Kettel, J. roemans, G. H. Ashworth and G. Kuhn. Syracuse, N. Y.— The Federal High court at Caracas, Venezuela, on January 28, held that the claim of the Warner- Quinlan Asphalt Co. to the Felicidad mine, under a concession made in 1897. is null and void. P. R.

Just outside the corporate limits of Minneapolis, on Nineteenth avenue north, is located the largest, one of the best equipped and most successful carnation establishments in the North Star state. Twelve years ago Eeinhard Will, a Ger- man by birth and a florist by profes- sion, purchased forty-six acres of land and erected two small gi-eonhouses, in which he grew bedding plants. His boys grew to manhood and three years ago the first range of houses for carna- tions was erected, about 25.000 square feet of glass. Just after they were com- pleted a hail storm destroyed more than half the glass. The range was imme- diately reglazed and the benches planted, fairh' good success being achieved the first year. Last summer the place was more than doubled by the addition of another range of houses, containing about 3.3,000 square feet of glass. Quite a number of varieties are grown, it being their policy to ti-y the best of- ferings each year. About 50,000 plants were benched this year. In white. Gov. Wolcott. Peru and Queen Louise are grown, Peru showing the best returns so far. For an all around white variety it fills the bill. Wolcott is a good show variety but hardly as profitable as Peru. Queen Louise is a nice, well built flower, but so far has not been as prolific as Peru. Next season's planting will in- clude several thousand Boston Market. In dark pink Mrs. Lawson is grown very extensively, there being 10,000 plants benched this season. Guardian Angel is also grown extensively and has proven as profitable as any. One bench of Marquis is grown and seems to uphold its reputation in fine shape. In light pink Enchantress is the lead- er and is being propagated extensively. Morning Glory has done well here, al- though it is of small size and not as profitable as Enchantress. I forgot to mention in passing that Lawsou will be grown entirely ii. pots tlii-i season. As its greateit gvcwih crmo kite in the season and any severe diotur'i'ance of its root system, like transplanting from the fieli, checks its growth and causes short stems, ci-nse- quently the pot method will be tried this season. Nelson Fisher may be planted another season, though Otto Will thinks it but little, if any, improvement over Lawson. In scarlets, Crane, Chicago and Apol- lo are grown this year. Apollo is a handsome shade of color, but is too shy in flower to be profitable. Estelle is grown, but is too short stemmed and will be discarded. Flamingo will be grown next season and is considered a most valuable acquisition in its color. Harry Fenn is the only crimson grown. The new range was completed rather late in the season and, as it was very wet at that time, soil had to be taken from the highest knolls on thj place. This has not been conducive to the best growth. Two 35 horse-power high pressure boilers supply the estab- lishment with heat. Water is pumped from a nearby stream. Iron posts and iron gutters are used in the construction of the houses, the drainage being car- ried inside. The Foley ventilator lift is used. The houses are on a southern slope. Otto Will is the manager. The goods are all sold at wholesale in Minneapolis. X. y. z. I HAVE alwaya found your paper a very good value for a dollar. — G. H. Mills, Toronto, Ont.

Kvciy plant grower and every pot maker lias had repeated experiences to prove the advantage of porous or un- glazed pots over glazed ones. But Trhik- a porous pot is an advantage a porous saucer is equally as great a disadvan- tage. Porous saucers w-ill not hold wa- ter; they wet through, thus spoiling any article of furniture upon which they hap- pen to be placed. After attempting to overcome these disadvantages by paints and shellacs of various kinds, I finally asked our pot maker to treat the in- side of the pot saucers to a coat of glaze, the same as is used for so-calleil vitrified pipe. This was done and now we have a saucer the outside appear- ance of which is exactly like the pot, but the inside has a non-corrosive water- proof glaze. This solved the difficulty and, believing that it is worth the at- tention of pot makers, I take tiiis means of bringing it to the attention of the trade. I know it will be an improve- ment welcomed by everyone wlio at- tempts to grow potted plants in the liv- ing room without the jardiniere. A COIL HEATER. I wish to ask a question with regard to a coil heater in a box stove twenty inches long. The coil is ';4-inch pipe, one coil of four pipes on the bottom and one on top. The cold water en ters the bottom coil, goes to the to]i coil and then to the 1%-inch coil undt-r the propagating bed. Have air cocks in the tiow pipe near the stove, at the highest point. It works, but not right; it is a regular kicker. There are no headers, but return elbows in the coil. J. T. I believe the trouble can be eutirelv overcome by using headers at each end of the coil, instead of return bends. The headers can be made up from 1- inch T's with %-ineh center openings. The %-inch pipes used to make up the coils can be put together with long screws. The return from the coil un- der the bench should be taken into the lower header of the heating coil and the ri.ser out of the header at the up- per end of thi; heating coil. The circu- lation would also be quicker and the heating more efBcient if headers were arranged at each end of the radiation coil under the bench, with the riser en- tering at the far end. This should also be til'-' highest point in the svstem. ' L. C. C. WHT HOT BUY RED POTS OF US? STANDARD SIZE. Quality—No IJetter, Carefully Packed in Small Crates. Easy to Handle. Price List Free.

(3\t«4 ivA ^airei- Galena, III.. Jan. 28, 1902. Kboeschell Bros. Co.:— Ttie boiler I bought of you is givlug- perfect eatiafactlon. When the thermometer stood at 30 below zero this morning' I could hold tlie temperature at 60 very easily with a savings of at least 25 per cent of coal. It is without a doubt the finest hot water boiler in the land, as it will heat about double the aiuouut of glass that other boilers do with the same amount of coal. It has proved so satisfactory tbat I must express my feelingrs. B. F. Vandervate. Chicago. Dec. 1. iy03. Kroeschell Bros. Co :— The two No. 4 boil- ers you installed in my greenhouses at Hart- land, Wis., did very satisfactory work last winter. I had been using cast Iron boilers pre- viously, but threw them out to put in your steel boilera. Your boilers have done better than I had expected: they require less coal, and mnch less atteniion than did the cast iron boilers. I estimate the saving in coal with your boilers was about 15 per cent To anyone desiring a perfect greenhouse boiler, I would certainly recommend yours. James A. Kirk. Philadelphia. Feb. 27. 1903. Kroeschell Bros. Co. :— We wish to tell you how much we are pleased with your boiler we p\it in last fall. It replaced two cast Iron boilers, has done the work very much better, requires much less attention, and besides as near as we can judge will use about 30 per cent less coal than we have been using. Tais coal item is not compared with only one sea- son, but with at least 20 years' experience with several different kinds of cast iron boilers. We are more than satisfied and have taken pleasure in showing and recommending your boiler to a number of growers. Penxock Bros. i KROESCHELL BROS.

The Easter Stock. Our Easter crops are now the absorb- ing subject of band and brain, and bow wo would like to know what tlie weather is going to be in the long month of March! As little difference as the ■weather makes to some of our midwin- ter crops, it has all to do with most of the plants that we grow for the Kaster sales. The Lilies. If you can count the Ijuds in the crown of the Japan lilies b.y March 1 .vou will have no trouble in getting them in at a night temperature of 60 degrees, and some sunshine to help, which is due us in considerable quantities next mouth. If your lilies are earlier than this no liarm is done, so don't get alarmed and move them to a cool house to retard them or they will .iust stand still. When the buds are turning white you can put them into a much cooler house, for when ad- vanced to that stage they will open al- most anywhere. I have noticed that the public knows enough to prefer some plants, an azalea, for instance, that is not so fully out. But a lily they want with every flower open, and witlT many people a fine plant with one expanded flower and ' ' these four buds will all open, ma'am," don't go. After the buds are above the leaves there should be no further danger of trouble from aphis. A moderate fumigation on two successive nights each week will keep them clean. The Roses. Crimson Eambler roses should be just about showing the clusters of buds, and will be in time without any extra forc- ing. If you can get them in bloom in a night temperature of 55 degrees they are much better in color than when you have to give them 5 or 10 degrees high- er, and this also applies to the hybrid perpetuals. Keep them cool if possible. Now here is a plant, above all a h.ybrid perpetual rose, in a 6-inch pot, that your customers don't want with all the buds out. No matter how attractive a few flowers of an Ulrich Brunner may be, every one knows how soon their pet- als drop, and unless there are buds yet to open they don't want your rose plant, so it takes some careful management to get them just right. > The Azaleas. The azaleas are now one of our most important plants. Easter's early date will suit most of them better than if it were two weeks later. A few azaleas are selling all the time, and these you have had in a temperature of 55 to 60 de- grees. But the main lot that you are growing for Easter has done well in a night temperature of 40 to 45 degrees. Now is the time to do the regulating and not wait till some varieties are in full bloom and others so backward that no amount of heat will open theii- buds. It is not necessary to mention varieties, because it is so easilv observed at what stage of development tlie liuds aie. Here, however, are a few varieties of the con- dition of which 1 have just made note. That great favorite, Mme. Van der Cruyssen, will at about 45 degrees at night be about right, and so will Em- press of India. Niobe is showing rather early and must be moved at once to some house where it can be kept at 38 to 40 degrees and shaded, and you know that if it went down to 35 no harm is clone. Mme. C. Van Langenhove is too early, and so is that most densely flow- ered' white, Sakuntala. De Schryveriana will also have to go to cooler quarters. Bernard Andre alba may need 55 de- grees a little later, as it is rather back- ward, and so on. It is easy to see what they need, only don't wait till it is too late. Many a patron is disap|iointed with an azalea. "It all wilted down; it must have been frozen in deliver.y. ' ' is the little song w'e often have to hear. It's nothing but want of Avater, and even greenhouse men, I notice, on some occa- sions don't realize how thoroughly they should be watered. Last fall's import- ed plants have made no roots into the soil that we rammed in around the ball of peat, and unless we get water into the old ball we are not watering the plant. On dull, cool days an azaJea may not show that it is suffering, but some bright day in March will soon show your neglect; and if the plant is in flower great injury has been done. The Dutch Bulbs. In another column I promised an in- quirer fuller particulars as to the num- ber of days to give hyacinths, tulips and daffodils to be in flower for Easter. It's a simple subject, and yet it's not so easy to speak definitely about any number of days. There are several things to consider. Some twenty or more years ago, when rather new at the bulb busi- ness, Easter came on April 24 or 25, and along about the middle of the month we had a few days of midsummer heat. We had broiight in our Tournesol and Muril- lo, as well as all the single tulips, daffo- dils and hyacinths, four weeks ahead of Easter. The result was sad. We re- sorted to sub-basements and cold frames with heavy shade, but to little purpose, for the honey bees hummed through the frames and we lost the greater part. The next year Easter was very early and the weather mostly cold and dull. Ee- membering our experience of the pre- vious year, but without reasoning about the difference of dates, we allowed only two weeks to get our bulbs in, and that was nearly as big a failure, and instead of the cold frames and cool cellars we had to resort to the Russian bath meth- od, and then only partially got there. I don 't remember that we have missed it since. The weather, w-hether cold and cloudy or bright and mild, will make a differ- ence of five or six days. One other very important consideration is the fact that those who keep their flats of bulbs out of doors,, covered, with soil or tan bark and stable litter, have found tliat this arctic winter has frozen clear through all covering and into the soil of the flats. This has not hurt tulips, hya- cinths or daft'odils, but it has greatly re- tarded their growth, which means two or three days more under glass. After we chop out the flats it takes two days in a warm shed to thaw them out. After March 1 these bulbs should not lie forced in any hot box or warm, shad- ed bench. They should come along in f\ill light, in any house w^here the night temperature is from 50 to 55 degrees, and they will be better in texture, color, form and, above all, stem, than those we had to force and shade earlier in the season. Better be safe and, considering the earliness of Easter and the present coa- dition of the bulbs, I would say give daft'odils and single tulips twenty days on the bench, Dutch hyacinths about the same and double tulips three or four days more. There is no need to wait for getting in your bulbs just for Jhese days; take advantage of a fine, warm da.v, even if it is a week earlier. in a cool shed or beneath a bench in a cool house they will make little prog- ress. Some yeaTS ago we depended for pans of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths entirely on those planted in pans in the fall and placed out of doors, as we do the flats, or perhaps in a frame a little better protected. There was always considera- ble breakage of pans and many pans ATOuld not be uniform in growth. For two or three years past we have made up these pans from the flats just about the time the flower is fully developed. If lifted out without losing much roots the flowers last equally as long, stand up as straight and are in every way aa satisfactory as those grown in the pans. There is no fraud about this and you can ' ' manufacture ' ' a more perfect and prettier arrangement than j'ou can get the old way, and save some losses. William Scott. STOPPING GERANIUMS. Will some one tell me tlirough the columns of the Eevieav how to make my geraniums grow more stocky, instead of running up to single stem. I once read an article about topping. I tried it the last two .years, but the most of them would throw out one side shoot and start heavenward again. Should the topping be done at shifting time or some time before, or after? Should the.y be cut back severely or just a little oft" the top? J. N. S. This very simple subject has been ven- tilated in the columns of the Eeview ' ' many a -time and oft. ' ' If .your plants were propagated in September or Octo- ber and supposing you shifted them into a 3-ineh at New A'ear's, then by Feb- ruary they should be pinched or stopped. The majorit.y should give you a cutting and yet leave two or three eyes on the jilant, which if given daylight and not crow(led will ahva.vs break anil make a stocky plant. If vou don't desire the cutting, or the plant is not large enough, then just pinch out the top and you will have the same bushy plant. Stop- ping or pinching out the top should not be done at the time of potting. Let them be in active root growth when that is done. If J. N. S. will refer to the Review of February 11 he will see this very subject treated of at some length. 644 The Weekly Florists' Review, E^BKUART 25, 1904. I Ti-ill just add that the zonale gera- nium, perhaps our most important sum- mer flowering garden plant, is such an accommodating, free growing plant that it is abused and in many plant manufac- turing establishments it is entirely quan- tity, not quality, that is sought. In one place Tou wUl see the lifted stock plants along "the side of a walk on the ground ; in another place you will see cuttings stuck in the sand as tliick as the pio- Tcrbial hair on a dog's back, crowded so that neither light nor air can pene- trate between them, and if you are guile- less enough to buy a thousand of these plants at some seemingly low figure, you will find they are worthless for any bed- ding purpose that year, but may do to plant out for getting a few cuttings off of the following fall. Bench room is what counts in our business and a gera- nium can't be sold cheap, for it takes room to grow it. W. S. CARNATION NOTES-EAST. Topping Young Stock. Young stock will soon need attention in the way of topping and the future habit of the plant will depend much on the manner in which this operation is done. Every variety has its own peculiar habit, and "if left to itself the general disposition will be to produce plants of undesirable shape, consequently a con- stant watch must be kept on the stock in order that some plants may not out- grow others and get beyond control, for in spite of our plan to set plants of one size together we find a certain propor- tion grow more rapidly than others. I would not advise pulling out the cen- ter shoot when topping, as there is danger of moisture collecting in the heart of the plant, which is apt to result in decay. Let by judicious topping a shapely plant can be built up. Queen Louise possesses an ideal habit and is easily grown into de- sirable plants. All varieties tend to draw up some- what under glass, but in the field take on a more compact habit. A great deal depends, too, on the general make-np of the cutting as to the future shapeliness of the plant, long jointed ones being al- most sure to tax the patience of the grow- er in his desire to obtain stocky plants. A little extra attention now will not be regretted later. Geo. S. Osboen. SOIL AND TEMPERATURE. We wish to know what soil is used and what night temperature is main- tained through the flowering season for best results with the following carna- tions : Mrs. Lawson, Enchantress, Pros- perity, Gov. Boosevelt, Mrs. Palmer, Adonis, Genevieve Lord,' Morning Glory, A Bench of Carnation Gov. Wolcott, Grown by the Livingston Seed Co. Flora Hill, Norway, White Cloud, Wol- cott and Her Majesty. J. C. F. You can divide the list of varieties you ask about into two classes and suit them all pretty well. That is, of course, providing you have a fairly heavy soil of average fertility. I would grow En- chantress, Gov. Roosevelt, Mrs. Palmer, Adonis, Genevieve Lord, Morning Glory, White Cloud and Her Majesty in 50 to 52 degrees at night and I would raise the temperature about 5 degrees for Mrs. Lawson, Flora Hill, Norway and Woleott. I understand Prosperity wants to be kept just about between the two, say about 52 to 54 degrees. The cool end of the warm section or the warm end of the cool section would be the place for it. Try a few Norway in the cooler section, too. A. F. J. Baur. CARNATION GOV. WOLCOTT. We wish to add a good word for Carnation Gov. Woleott; to prove what we say we send herewith a photograph of our patch, a flashlight, taken Febru- ary 1. Alongside of Norway, Queen Louise, Flora Hill, Innocence, Her Ma- jesty, Lorna and White Cloud, it is in every way by far the best white with us. It is more productive, has longer, stiffer stems, larger flowers, finer form, pure color, is a grand keeper and leaves nothing to be desired. AVhen compar- ing the illustration with others, bear in mind that between December 1 and Jan- uary 1 every available shoot on the plants was used for propagating. We also send a photograph of a bench of Lawson in the same house, which is the best we ever liiid it. By actual count, if we had only Lawson and Wol- eott in the house, i\e would cut six times as many flowers as we do now, not to mention quality or value. Both Lawson and Woleott are remark- ably even, averaging three and a half inches in diameter, on long stiff stems. Other varieties in the house are lacking in some essential. Mermaid has no stiffness; Innocence, no constitution; NTorway, too slow to bloom although a giant in growth. Compared with Nor- way, Woleott will make a flower in half the time. There are about twenty varieties in the house, the main object being cuttings for plants for our catalogue trade. The plants were benched August 16 and v\ere very small, the summer being so dry, the cuttings propagated late and, planted out late, June 1. Every flower- ing shoot was stopped up to October 10 on all varieties, it being the desire to get early cuttings. Between Octo- ber 10 and December 1 the shoots were the plants get to that heiglit where the stem can be seen between the joints, then with a sharp knife make a clean cut, leaving from four to six joints above the soil, according to the natural habit of the variety. I would lay particular stress on the advisability of using a sharp knife in all operations concerning the trimming of carnations. Wounds made by careless breaking or pinching off are slow to heal and many times offer a means for lurking diseases to gain a foothold. You ^vill notice a great difference in the natural growth of the different varieties and it is by close observance of this dif- ference that we are able to maintain a bushy habit in every sort. White Cloud, for instance, is of sprawly growth, but A Bench of Mrs, Lawjon Grown by the Livingston Seed Co. FKBRCAET 25, 1904. The Weekly Florists^ Review, 645 Carnation Night at the New York Florists' Club. allowed to form flowers ; after Decem- ber 1 everything available was used for propagating. Interesting i^ the record of time made by varieties coming into bloom. First was Wolcott, then Manley, Dorothy, Joost, Flora Hill, Harry Fenn, Crane, Adonis, Cressbrook, Queen Louise, Eoosevelt, Lawson, Mermaid, Golden Beaut.y, Inno- cence. Her Majesty and Harlowarden, with Norway last. Wolcott bloomed De- cember 10, the rest following in suc- cession as above, Lawson being in about January 15 and Norway February 10. Accordingly it would take Wolcott two mouths, Lawson three and Norway four months to come into flower. The house was run in the fall 52 de- grees at night and after January 1, 55 degrees. No tobacco smoke or insecti- cide of any kind has been used in this house and the plants are today as clean as one could wish. Fred Windmiller. NOTES ON VARIETIES. The following notes on commercial varieties will be found of interest at this time, when planting plans are be- ing prepared for next season. C. W. Ward, Queens, N. Y. White Cloud and Flora Hill have not been grown here for several years. Nor- way was of no use with us. Wolcott bursts badly. Peru we never grew. Queen Louise does not ship well. Her Majesty was not good. Lillian Pond we did not try. Mackinac is all right, Lorna good and Gov. Lowndes fair. In light pink Morning Glory is an- cient history; Higinbotham of no use to us, but Enchantress is fine. We also grow Mrs. Thayer, which is all right, and Alpine Glow good. la reds, Estelle did not do well with us. Adonis need?, another trial. Crane is discarded, also Eoosevelt, for new sorts. Palmer did not do well for us. Harlowarden is in a color where we have our own seedlings. We grow Har- ry Fenn, Octoroon and President. In scarlet we have Christmas Eve and Gov. Bliss. In dark pink Lawson is all right. Nelson and Gressbrook did not prove of commercial value. Joost was long since discarded. Guardian Angel we did not try. Ethel Ward is all right, Floriana good and Mrs. Roosevelt fair. Prosperity is all right. So are Judge Hinsdale and Mrs. Patten. Sensation is good. Stella did not do. Bradt is past histor.y. In yellow Golden Eagle is all right, Gloriosum good and Golden Beau- ty poor. E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. Wolcott is the finest white on the place at present writing; all that could be desired this year; does best in 56 degrees. Flora Hill is the best white for early, late and midsummer; failure in midwinter. Lillian Pond was very slow in getting into condition after housing; very prolific, but inclined to burst during dark weather. Her Majes- ty does fairly well with us, but Queen Louise does not and White Cloud and Norway do not seem to like our soil. Peru has been discarded. Glacier is fine for side benches. Gov. Lowndes is promising; extremely large and getting into magnificent condition; shall watch carefully throughout the season. Lawson is the finest carnation to date, but Nelson we consider an ex- tra good pink. Joost we find still in heavy demand. Floriana is an excel- lent general purpose pink. Everybody likes Enchantress for light. ' Estelle is a grand variety; every grower should study its requirements. .Idonis is doing extra well this year; unquestionably the finest scarlet. Crane is still one of the best. Gov. Roose- velt is excellent and Harlowarden very good indeed, but Harry Fenn is the best of all the crimsons. Prosperity is fine, but expensive to grow. Bradt is largely discarded. H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md. Mrs. Lawson w^ consider peerless in its color. Mra. Nelson is a good pro- ducer of good, average grade flowers. Mrs. Joost was long since discarded on account of stem-rot. Cressbrook is a very free winter bloomer, but it be- gins business too late and stops too soon. Enchantress is a tree producer for its size; a marvel, but does not hold its color any too well and might be a little better' keeper. Neither Morning Glory nor Mrs. Higinbotham have been grown in sufficient quantity to war- rant a verdict. For a popular shade of pink our own Genevieve Lord excels all other varieties with us, being very ]]roductive, a good seller and an ideal shipper and keeper. President McKin- ley is expected to do better next sea- son. It is a good producer. Mrs. Roose- velt is a very fine color, but not free enough. Sybil is affected by stem-rot, makes too much grass and is not large enough, but it is a fine color. Fra- grance has plent.y of that rich, spicy odor, is of good size, but not especially free; it is affected with stem-rot. Suc- cess is not a success with us; color fine but bloom much too small. Enquirer is large, fine color, but a poor keeper and bursts; not profitable. New Daybreak is a large-sized commercial bloom, hold- ing its color and productiveness well into the summer. We have discarded White Cloud, Flora Hill and Queen Louise. Norway is our all around white; free, large blooms, fine constitution, extra fine keeper and shipper. Wolcott is good, but must be grown warm or will split. Lillian Pond has produced some very fine blooms of very pure color, but is affected with stem-rot and splits badly; not especial- ly free. Gov. Lowndes is the finest white we have ever seen and had it a constitution like Norway or Lawson it would be in a class all by itself; with careful selection we expect extra fine results. Lorna is a good flower, but not profitable with us. White Bradt is recommended to those who grow Bradt successfully. Adonis, all things considered, we think easily the finest scarlet; has enough "go" in it to make it profita- ble; we expect much improvement in 646 The Weekly Florists^ Review, Febkdary 25, 190-i. it next year ami shall ))lant more. Es- telle holds the banner as the best pay- iny commercial scarlet; not a fancy va- riety, but an up-to-date commercial cue. We have discarded Harry Fenn, Crane, America, Palmer and Koosevelt and shall drop Apollo. Harlowarden is the finest crimson we have ever grown and profitable. Pi'osperity is the American Beauty of the carnation world, free for its size and profitable. Sirs. Bradt is still the best red and white variegated. We are not satisfied with Marshall Field thus far, but it may do better next year. We still grow some of the old Butter- cup, hoping that through crossing we may be able to transmit some of its matchless color to a larger flower. Gold Nugget is a good, large yellow, if grown warm enough. J. A. Valentine, Denver, Colo. Wolcott is a fine flower, a free bloom- er and good keeper, but splits consid- erably. This latter does not count for much with a grower who sells at retail, but makes it bad for one who sells only at wholesale. We shall grow it heavily the coming season. As done by Benson, of this city, Norway ia the best and most profitable white in this market; witli others it does not do so well; we shall drop it. Her Majesty is a free bloomer, but not extra quality as grown here; not a good keeper. Have not grown Queen l«ouise ourselves, but one or two growers here seem to find it a money maker; it is not a fancy. Flora Hill has been pretty generally discard- ed and have dropped White Cloud; stock seems to deteriorate except in very skillful hands. Lawson leaves much to be desired in stem and uniformity of color, but it is free and so far nothing in dark pink can take its place. Mrs. Nelson has done reasonably well with other grow- ers here, but cannot be called a fanc.y. Morning Glory is small, unhealthy and generally worthless in this climate. On the other hand E'nchantress is the best that ever came over the pike; large flower, good stem and calyx, easy to do and very free. < Estelle has been thoroughly tested here and discarded. Adonis has fine color; flower of fair size, but not ex- tra; seems to be improving and may show better results next season. Crane is not satisfactory, but will be grown until some more profitable scarlet can be found. Harlowarden leaves nothing to be desired where one needs a crim- son ; stem and flower are both excellent and it is very free. The more we see of Prosperity the better we like it. Tt is not an easy one to do well, Vjut when its peculiari- ties are known it can be made profita- ble if there is a market for it at a fancy price. Stella seems to be the best of its class so far; bloom good size, stem good and flowers freely pro- duced. Bradt has been discarded, flow- er good but stem too weak to support it. Dorothy Whitney is a profitable yellow. J. V. Dunford, Clayton, Mo. Flora Hill is only useful for summer blooming; we have several better whites for winter. Wliite Cloud is still a good one four months in the winter, but Lorna is better. Norway is one of the healthiest and best carnations we know, our best commercial white, but no good in summer. Wolcott is a fine flower, but splits badly with us and seems to be a cropper; worth further trial. Queen Louise is the best all-the- year-around white; no carnation blooms more freely than this. Alba is too slow; shall drop it. We discarded Morning Glory long ago; poor grower, subject to stem-rot. We like Higinbotham much better this year than last, but it will have to give way to Enchantress, which is proving to l)e all that was claimed for it, a rath- er unique distinction. Estelle is the best red except Adonis; must be planted early to get good stems; many of the flowers come single. The stock of .\donis was exceptionally poor when we got it and did poorly in the field, but it seems to have a vigor- ous constitution. Eoosevelt is good, but super.seded by Harry Fenn, which is better in almost every point. Shall have to discard Crane; always off crop when flowers bring the most money and very subject to stem-rot. Palmer will also be dropped. Manley is a good red, but must be planted early. Ameri- cf is a cropper; will discard. Apollo has all the faults of Crane. Lawson is a hard variety to beat in its color; needs to be planted early to get good stems; stem too stitf for an artistic looking flower. Nelson gives but few flowers in midwinter if not handled properl.y. Joost is still a stand- ard in its color, but very subject to the dry rot. Shall discard Ctessbrook; very poor with us. Old Scott is still a good one for summer, one of the best, with Crocker and Dorothy. Lord is a good one for a shady bench. Enquirer is slow and splits badly. Prosperity is the only one in its class, but is hardly free enough. Could do nothing with Bradt; threw it out sev- eral years ago. .^lella is better; shall give it another year 's trial. Gaiety is slow and a cropper. Dorothy Whitney is a good yellow. VARIETIES FOR FLORIDA. I :\ish you would give us the names of the three best carnations for Florida. We have some warm days and cool nights, but the average is about 40 at night and 70 degrees in the daytime. The night temperature we can raise very easily, but the day temperature we have no control over. I have not grown car- nations; all our space is given to roses. But as there is a demand for them, I want to try a few. Our trade calls for the best and the heavy crop is wanted between January 10 and April 10. H. V. B. I would advise you to try more than one variety of each color, as you will have to experiment a little with sev- eral varieties before you can find which ones are best suited to your climate, etc. I have never been in Florida, and so I cannot say with certainty that a certain variety will be the one for you to grow. I can only suggest to you a few varieties which I think will be more likely to thrive in your climate than others. I imagine that those varieties requiring a higher temperature than the average would be the ones for you to take up, but I would try many others in a limited way. For white I would rec- ommend Flora Hill as the best warm weather white on the market, and Gov. Wolcott will likely prove a good one for you. Also try a few of Her Majesty. In pink I would recommend Ethel T'locker and Mrs. Lawson, both of which want warm night temperatures. In red (i. H. Crane and America would likely be tlie best, but I would advise you to try a few Estelle. These are all good varieties and any one of them is liable to prove superior to all others under vour climatic conditions. A. F. J. B.4.UR. THRIPS. Please tell me what is wrong with my Wliite Cloud? 1 send some sample blooms and you \;ill see that they are useless. Half the floweis are like this. The temperature is 52 degrees, pipes under the benches. Have fed with liquid manure and given a little lime at times. In the same house are Crane, Prosperity and Lawson doing all right under the same treatment. J. K. E. The White Cloud carnation blooms came in good condition and showed plainly what is causing your trouble. In the half-open blooms I found sev- eral thrips, and that is what is doing the damage. Just why they are attack- ing the White Cloud and not the others I cannot say, except that, like many other pests, they have their preference, and White Cloud is one of their favor- ites. Take any bud that is about to un- fold its petals and pull the petals apart and look for a tiny creature from one- sixteenth to one-eighth of an inch long and about one-quarter as thick. The color varies from a light yellow to a dark brown, according ■ to their age. They are quite lively and you will have to look well to find them. They may be on your other varieties, too, without your knowledge, as the Lawson and Crane would not show the effects in quite the same way. On most of the red varieties and on Lawson they cause white specks along the edge of the petals in- stead of brown, as you see on White Cloud and all other whites. The feed- ing would not be likely to cause any such eifect. The remedy for this pest is tobacco in any form you may wish to apply it, and in addition to the tobacco it takes perseverance. While they are between the petals of a bud you cannot reach them, but when the bud opens they will be exposed and then is when you should bo after them. Smoking every evening for a couple of weeks will likely rid the place of them, and it is a good idea to dust the plants well with tobacco dust. Get rid of them before warm weather, else you will not pick a salable liloom from the beginning of warm weather on. A. F. J. B.\UR. VARIETIES FOR BEGINNERS. What varieties of ■aniations would you advise a beginner to grow for a re- tail trade? Have a house 15x60 and would want one-third white and two- thirds pink, the season being from No- vember to June. How many flowers per week would be a fair crop from this space? G. J. S. Since you have only one house in which to plant all your carnations, you should select varieties which need about the same treatment and temperature. Al- though this will prevent you from plant- ing a few of the best paying varieties, you will be better off in the end. In white I would try Flora Hill, Queen Louise and Her Majesty. In pink 1 would try Mrs. F. Joost, Floriana, Mrs. Februaky 2o, 1904. The Weekly Florists* Review. 647 E. A. Nelson and Dorothy. All these varieties are good bloomers and of aver- age quality. It would be hard to give a fair estimate of how many you ought to pick each week from such a house. So many different things would have more orless bearing on the results that I would not like to make an estimate. It would also be wroug to expect the same quantity each week through the season, as some weeks when the weather is bad you may not pick a hundred Ijlooms, while other weeks during a fine spell you may pick ;i thousand or more toward spring.

Trade kept up well the earlier part of the past week, but since Wednesday, which wound i.p the social season, busi- ness has been slack. On Monday of last week cut flowers of all kinds were very scarce and funeral work in plenty. Everybody feemed busy with that kind of work "and most every one was hunt- ing up stock to fill orders. The whole- salers reported plenty of telegrams from neighboring towns asking for shipments, but as the local trade demanded all, they had to be turned down. Prices of course went up at on^e on carnations and roses, which were haio to get at any price. There has been a decided drop in the (emp'^rature, with snow and cloudy weather, wh'ich made cut stock scarce, and the market cleaned up nearly up to Wednesday. Since then the market is much better and stock of all kinds more plentiful, with prices still up on first- class stock. But common grades have come down in price. Quite a lot of this material can be had at the present time and we look for no scarcity from now on until Easter. In roses Brides and Braidesmaids of the highest grade stand at .$10 per 100 and running down to $5. The best de- mand has been for Ught colored stock. WTiite stock also sold well. Beauties are in their usual demand, with fancy stock not to be had and firsts and seconds sell- ing well. Carnations are again becom- ing more plentiful— that is, colored stock. Whites are pretty well cleaned up each day and so are good fancy Lawson and Enchantress. Wolcott, White Cloud and Queen Louise are among the best whites in the market, Crane and Estelle in red and Mrs. Nel- son, Joost and Guardian Angel in pinks. Prices range from $3 to $5 and com- mon sorts are sold at $2. Violets held their own during the week and enough were in to supply the demand at 50 and 75 cents per 100. From now on there will no doubt be an over- production of these. The bulb market is also well supplied at the present time. Harrisii sell well, with not any too many in the market; $15 per 100 is the price, with callas the same. Valley im- proves in quality, also freesia. Romans and Paper Whites have quite a demand. Tulips are very plentiful at $3 and $4 per 100. Smilax is abundant and of good quality, also asparagus strings. The Club Entertainment. The entertainment and ball given by the Florists' Club last Friday night was a grand success in every way, and those who did not attend missed a good time. The florists, with their families and friends, began to arrive at 8 o 'clock, and at 9 the dancing floor was well filled. The entertainment was interspersed be- tween the dances. The hall was beauti- fully decorated with carnations, kindly donated by Messrs. Kuehn and EUis. The wild smilax, donated by Caldwell the Woodsman, arrived a day late. The entertainment was furnished by Mrs. Otto Koenig and Mrs. John Koenig, who sang beautifully. Miss Pearl Ellis ren- dered diflScult selections on the piano. Miss Willow gave an interesting Spanish dance and Miss Stauiin played the latest selections on the piano, each lady re- ceiving a large bunch of roses and car- nations. The affair was managed by Otto Koenig and Fred C. Weber, who deserve great credit. Mr. Brown, the English gardener, and his assistant, R. J. Mohr, better known at the World's Fair grounds as "the long and short of it," in company with the French gardener, thoroughly enjoyed the ball. Frank Fillmore acted as usher in presenting the bouquets to the per- formers and did his part in a graceful manner. The bouquets were furnished by Fred Weber. We missed our subur- ban members very much. W. J. Pileher and wife, of Kirkwood, were the only ones to attend. The east side mem- bers were also noted in their absence. Mr. and Mrs. John Y'oung left for Chi- cago Friday night on a visit to their daughter, and so missed the ball. Re- freshments were served on the second floor and enjoyed by all. Club Meeting. Don 't forget the dub meeting next Tlrarsday afternoon. March 3, at 2 n 'clock. This will be one of the most important meetings of the year. J. H. Iladkinson and Henry Emmons will be the essayists at this meeting. The ar- rangement committee will have its re- port ready on entertaining the executive board of the S. A.

B. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Busiucss is exceptioually good for the beginning of Lent, although there have been one or two quiet days. Violets have sold well and are of fine quality. Brides and Maids are more plentiful, also fancy carnations. Bulbous stock in general and daffodils in particular drag at times. Easter lilies are to be had in quantity, also white violets, both rather scarce until Flowertown. The tavern keeper and all the natives spell it Flourtown, at least all of them who adhere to higher education, but vis- itors who trudge out the Bethlehem pike lo the second rise beyond the one where they tell such famous yarns that the place is known as Chestnut Hill, one part of it even as ' ' Windy iloor, ' ' shortened latterly for the sake of euphony, will agree with the above spelling. For there George E. Campbell has taken root and flourished exceedingly, as may be seen at a glance or learned from the state- ment that he cut 110,000 Brides and Maids from two houses each 20x150 feet in twelve months. The romantic days of camping out in a big tent are over long since; his home is too comfortable to make that a regret. There is a nice stable and a newer icehouse, just filled with sixty solid tons of frozen water that makes their possessor feel that summer heat has no terrors for his rose buds. There are four 150-foot houses now, two each in Brides and Bridesmaids in the pink of condition, throwing up strong bottom canes that make specials and firsts easily outnumber seconds and thirds just at the right time. Mr. Campbell says that ' ' care ' ' does it. Certainly, as my friend K. would put it, the combination between care and Campbell seems to make a winner. Perhaps it ought to be Camp- bell and care; he takes care you know. Little Acts of Kindness. It is generally admitted by the intent in and about this City of Brotherly Love that if you strike a heating snag you run out Woodland avenue and consult George Anderson. It would be interest- ing to know how many of our florists have done this; when the number is told you will know how many have benefited by his knowledge and experience. George Anderson is thoroughly up in steam fit- ling, as well as in all kinds of iron work relating to greenhouse construction. He is said to have been the first florist here to heat his place by steam and to cut and drill his own purlins. He is not practical, but he understands the principles that govern steam circulation so that he se- cures results for his work. Many a knotty problem has been submitted to him, why this or that arrangement wouldn't do, that he has solved, making the remedy clear with a rapidly drawn sketch on some convenient post or board. Yes, post, be- cause though a firm believer in iron, Mr. Anderson thinks the iron post of today must be strengthened to fill its place prop- erly in the modern greenhouse. And so with the little sketch in mind each one has returned to his own place with a warm spot under the left side of his jacket for the man who had so freely Febkuary 25, 1904.

Wednesday was ladies' night at the Florists ' Club, w hen a reception, games and refreshments were enjo.ved by many fair women and brave men, PiriL. NEW YORK- The Market. The market feels keenly the Lenten season. The general tendency is down- ward. The supply of ever.vthing has been in excess of the demand and of vio- lets it may safelj- be said the ice boxes are never empty. The best Beauties hold steady at 50 cents and occasionally com- mand a little more. The supply of car- nations is increasiug. The holiday on Jlonday found a stagnant market, which it failed to energize. Many of the whole- salers closed early in the afternoon and the street merchants seemed to be doing the bulk of the business. There was a flood of violets in the market and hardly any demand for them. The weather turned warm and rainy Sunday. The Club Dinner. On Saturday night the annual banquet of the New York Florists' Club was en- joyed at the St. Denis hotel. The at- tendance was not as large as was an- ticipated. However, the enthusiasm and <"njoyment were quite up to the record of the club. President Traendly filled the toastmaster "s chair with dignity and skill. The committee displayed rare se- lective ability in the choice of orchestra and "vaudevillians, " some of the best artists in the musical and elocutionary line having been engaged. The toasts were fine and the orators of the club, Messrs. 0 'Mara and Wallace, did them ample justice, Mr, O 'Mara spoke to the toast ' ' Our Night, ' ' and gave a brilliant address, referring to the fact that ten .years ago it was his privilege to respond to the same announcement. He descanted feelingly upon the faces that had van- ished and the tender recollections that i-rowded upon us of the men who ' ' fought the battle of the flowers. ' ' He asked for pledges of mutual support and loyal- ty to the president and to each other. He referred to the healthy condition of the club, the success of its new departures in the triumph of the carnation exhibition at its rooms and the prospect of dupli- cating its success on rose night on March 14; never in his memory did the future of the organization seem so bright. He interspersed his eloquent address with manv amusing stories and evoked consid- erable demonstrative enthusiasm through- out. Alex Wallace was at his best on the familiar subject, to him, "The Press," which he himself declared ' ' could not have fallen into better hands, ' ' John H. Ta.vlor made a strong plea for the strength and effort of the young man in horticulture. He spoke eloquently of the glorious field that opens to his view and the heritage which the older ones are gradually but surely yielding to the com- ing generation. The flowers on the table were contrib- uted by Lager & Hurrell, William H. Sie- brecht, Alex. Guttman. Traendly & Sehenck, Walter Sheridan and John Young. Those present were F. H. Traendly, S. S. Butterfield, John Young, P. O'Mara, L, B. Craw, L. R. Cobb, Frank Moore, Henry Hentz, Jr„ John Nash, Chas, Lenker, Alex Guttman, John Scott, A, L, Miller, Paul Kessler, Chas.

All the new roses will be displayed and exhibitors from all parts of the country have promised co-operation. Notwithstanding Carrie Na- tion's objection, the canteen committee promises special demonstrations. The Detroit carnation convention will have a fine representation from New York and vicinit.y. Mr. Haffner, of the West Shore, has been particularl.v courteous and attentive to intending travelers and it looks as if a Pullman will be comfort- ably filled under his chaperonage. The display of new varieties from this center will include some e.ye openers. The firm of Wadley & Smythe has been incorporated with a capital of $50,000.

BUFFALO. The Carnation Show. The chief event among the fraternity last week was the meeting of the club oa Wednesday and a very fine display of most all of the carnations being dissem- inated this spring. The program was not carried out just as it was arranged. The exhibition was intended to be in one of the rooms of Turn Hall, the recently acquired spacious quarters of Wm, F. Kasting, but the very severe weather and the heating system not being complete, it- was thought best to make the display in Mr. Kasting 's present wholesale empioi- rium. The vases of flowers bad ample room, but spectators were rather con- gested. We were glad indeed to see such a gathering of the local craft, as well as many from nearby towns. At 8 p. m. we gathered in the large dining room of the Genesee hotel, where Mr, Gammage, of London. Ontario, gave us a half-hour's talk on the divine flower. Mr. Gammage did not enter into cultural directions, but most entertainingly discoursed on the rise to popularity, the present status and pos- sibilities of the carnation. The discus- sion which ensued lasted a full hour and touched upon every phase of the subject, benches, tile benches, solid beds, sub- watering, propagation, field culture, all- iinder-glass culture and, in fact almost every other feature that perplexes the carnation grower. The talkers were principally Charles Roney of Jamestown; Henry Wise, M. Bloy, Charles Guenther, L. H. Neubeck, Prof. Cowell, Mr. Foss, C. H. Keitsch, C. Sandiford and others more or less, and the chairman, W, S., sandwiched in a little "jolly" between speakers. It was a good meeting and I think enjoyed by all. Now, where there were so many fine varieties it would not be my province to speak of an.y that seemed best to please. Prof. Coweli, George McClure, C. Sandi- ford and Charles Guenther carefully scaled, all the new varieties as per scale of the A. C. S., and in their judgment rendered the follo^\-ing: Variety. Exhibitor. Scored.

We regret very much that Mrs. Patten and Nelson Fisher from the Thompson Co. and Lady BountifuJ and The Belle from F. Dorner & Sons Co. splendid flowers, arrived late the same evening, after the meeting was over. Con- sidering the weather of the previous day it's a wonder that anything arrived on time and in the perfect condition that without exception all seem to have done. And now I take this opportunity for the Buffalo Florists' Club to sincerely thank all those gentlemen who so kindly sent us such fine exhibits. Keeping Qualities, It just occurred to me that a word about the keeping qualities of some of these varieties might be of interest. On a table in front of me are a few flow- 652 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Febbuaby 25, 1904. ers of several of the varieties. When they were picked I can 't say, but they arrived in this city last Tuesday morn- ing. They must have been cut eight days ago. They withstood for eight or nine hours a most crowded room. They have been lugged out of an ice box fifty times, then brought over in their declining days into a warm room. And this Tuesday morning, here are some that are stand- ing up with petals expanded and scarce- ly a blemish to mark the ordeal they have undergone: Cardinal, The Presi- dent, Ethel Ward, Judge Hinsdale, In- dianapolis, Mrs. Patten, Crusader and Lady Bountiful. I have nothing to say about the keeping of other varieties, be- cause I did not have an opportunity to test them and this was no test, it is simply a fact observed. Various Items. Business has been decidedly improved the past two weeks. A call at the Main street stores last week found them all rushing and when W. J. Palmer says, "We have been awful busy today," it sounds good. Mr. Miller, of Timothy Eaton fame, all the way from Toronto, came to attend our meeting. Peter Croweanum, of Utica, has spent a couple of days in town. Mike Bloy, of North Ohnsted, O., and Jas. Mc Hutchison, of New York, were recent visitors. Mr. Snell, formerly vpith W. J. Palmer, has taken a permanent position with S. A. Anderson. This makes his store help strong, both in working force and artistic ability. Now my story is long enough, I hope, and think the attendance from here to La Detroit wiU be good, as it should be. It is but six hours' ride from this city. W. S. PITTSBURG. The Market. The first week of Lent had really a stimulating effect on the market. Con- trary to all expectations, business was very good and prices did not decline. At the present writing this market is in a very healthy state. Roses of extra fine quality are arriving in quantity now. The best grade of Maids and Brides bring $15 per 100, but the ordinary grades are considerably lower in price than they have sold for some time. Beauties are decidedly off crop. At present carna- tions are moving out at very fair figures ; the supply is sufficient to meet all de- mands. Daffodils and tulips, in fact all bulbous stock, are abundant. The de- mand for i^d flowers and violets for Washington's birthday was heavy, but the supply was equal to the demand. Various Notes- Quantities of grand Maids and Brides are being sent in by Fred Burki and B. L. Elliott. Blind Brothers also report a very good cut of roses. As usual, John Bader has a splendid collection of blooming plants, palms and ferns. His Easter stock will be in just right. Wm. Lauch, of Carrick, is sending the Pittsburg Cut Plower Co. some extra fine specimen plants of azaleas. This firm is also getting daily consignments of very choice lilies, mignonette and lilac. The Valley Greenhouse Co. is cutting some of the finest Harrisii lilies seen in NEXT WEEK THE GflBHIITIOli HDPEB Next week's Review will contain a full report of the Detroit Carnation Convention. It will be an issue of particular interest to the thousands of growers of carnations, many of whom wait for the verdict of the Convention before placing their orders for cuttings. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS SHOULD BE FORWARDED WITHOUT DELAY. FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. Caxton BIdg., 334"Dearborn St., | ■ OhiC9QO« this market for a long time. Mr. Buech- ler, their foreman, reports practically no disease among his lily bulbs this season. E. C. Ludwig will open his new staml in the Allegheny market, March 1. Mr. Ludwig makes a specialty of design work and has made considerable outlay in the way of advertising; a new floral album, issued by him, should bring good returns. The modes of handling flowers in the Allegheny market are a little different from the usual methods employed. The displays of cut flowers and plants are on a very large scale, in fact, G. & J. W. Ludwig, Frank Falk and F. Breitenbaugh & Bro. all make daily exhibits which com- ]>are well with any small sized flower show. T. M. Ulam & Co. received the order for the Americus Club floral emblem, which was sent to the funeral of Sena- tor Hanua. The regular meeting of the Florists' Club has been postponed until Tuesday, March 15. At this meeting carnations will be discussed and the members who attend the carnation convention will be called upon to tell us what good things they saw at the convention. This meet- ing will be one of the most interesting and profitable of the season. A large at- tendance is ex-peeted. Xavier E. Schmitt, head gardener of Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia, Pa., was a visitor last week. Hoo-Hoo. CINCINNATL The Market. On an average trade is very good. There are a good many funerals, in spite of the so-called cold, healthy weather we have been having. Lent has had little or no effect on the market. While there is but little rushing about to fill orders, yet there is very little stock left over. Roses are coming in larger quantities and the quality is first-class. AH grades are sold out clean. Carna- tions are in much larger supply and some fine stock is seen. They also sell out well. Bulbous stock is doing better. Harrisii and callas are especially good property. Valley moves a little slow. There are lots of violets, especially sin- gle, and they are very good. At times they sell well, but at others they are hard to move at any price. Smilax and asparagus have been in heavy demand. Ferns, too, have been selling well. Notes. During a heavy wind storm the roof of one of Geo. Murphy 's greenhouses was lifted off and thrown upon an adjoining house, causing considerable damage. Mrs. Garges, of the firm of Coates & Garges, is confined to her bed with the grippe. Wm. Murphy and Thomas Windram left Monday night for Chicago, where they wUl spend several days visiting the large establishments. From there they will go to Detroit to attend the carna- tion convention. The carnation meeting is almost here and it looks as if there will be quite a representation from this city. They wiU leave this city next Tuesday at 9:45 p. ra., via the C. H. & D. The rate will be a fare and a third. Any one wishing to join the Cincinnati party is cordially invited to do so. H. M. Altick, of Dayton, Ohio, was in this city representing the florists' end of the McKinley monument fund. He is working very hard to raise as large a sum as possible among the florists, and certainly deserves success. The fact that McEanley day brought forth such a heavy demand for carnations, thus bring- ing the florists a large profit that they would not otherwise have realized, makes it look as if every florist in the country could well afford to make a donation, however small, to this fund, and still be money in pocket, with many McKinley carnation days coining in the future. A trip through R. Witterstaetter 's car- nation houses was a treat that the writer recently enjoyed. There were seedling carnations by the thousands and of al- most every color, and the general ex- cellence of them all is surprising. Sev- eral houses of his new scarlet, Cardi- nal, were a mass of bud and bloom and a great sight. The color is extra fine and that Dick has a good thing in this variety cannot be doubted. C. J. Ohmer.

Edward Harris. February 25, 1904. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 653 GRAND RAPIDS. Coal Scarce. The temperature still persists in dodg- ing from zero to 20 degrees below, fre- quently accompanied by a stiff breeze that penetrates through every crack and crevice, taxing boilers to their fullest capacity. It will take at least forty per cent more coal to get through this win- ter than last, with the same amount of glass. Besides we are beginning to face a coal shortage which, had it oc- curred thirty days earlier, might have caused serious concern. There are plenty of cars of coal between the mines and Grand Rapids, but it cannot be gotten into town by the railroads. The boiler at Frank Strong 's, vege- table grower, gave out reeentl}'. He is temporarily out of commission, but will start up as soon as the boiler can be put in repair. There are rumors daily of frozen plants near the far ends of houses, or near a crack in the glass, but so far no serious freeze-up is reported, except the one noted. Carnations welcome the sun, for they were verv weak in the stem. Eoses are beginning to improve in quality; in fact everything is beginning to feel the influence of the sun's rays. Business has been good, the out-of-town call for flowers being so heavy that no flowers have been wasted. Prices remain the same as at my last report. Bulbous stock is becoming more plentiful. Several have signified their intention to attend the Detroit convention, pro- vided this kind of weather don 't hang on that long. Anyway we are praying for fine weather and a successful con- vention. G. r. C. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Advertisements under this head one cent a word, cash with order.

The catalogue of Thomas Meehan & Sons, of Philadephia, came to us by ex- press. Syrixga japonica extends the lilac season a full month. The flowers arc white but scentless. "An old-fashioned, hardy garden for $5" is the way one nurseryman makes a bid for mail orders. These are few better trees for small lawns than the birch, which is described by its name, Betula alba laciniata pen- dula. E. E. HuRLBtTRT has bought the in- terests of G. B. Spitler and W. B. Hun- ter in the Mt. Zion Nursery Co., Mt. Zion, 111. The Eeliance Nursery Co., Geneva, N. y., has been incorporated with $20,000 capital stock by John M., Timothy J. and MaVy E. Twomly. The Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City, Minn., incorporated with $100,000 capi- tal stock, has been licensed to operate in "Wisconsin with $10,000 capital. The sugar and Norway maples are preferable for permanency to the more rapid-growing silver variety. These do well in most soils and are probably the most frequently used trees for street planting. The Wm. H. Moon Co. has issued one of the handsomest nursery catalogues of the year. The cover is white, green and gold, the paper and presswork good and text and illustrations commendable. The book is sewed with thread so that it opens flat. It is stated that Otto Katzenstein, formerly with the Pinehurst Nurseries, has formed a partnership with S. Z. Euff to handle extensive southern fields of Rhododendron catawbiense and Kal- mia latifolia which they have acquired. Their headquarters will be at Atlanta, Ga. Evert retail florist who has a piece of ground should plant specimens of a few of the best and most salable trees, shrubs and fruits.

Chicago, Feb. 24. — Radishes, 20@40 cents doz. bunches; lettuce, 25 cents case; heads, $1@$4 bbl. ; cucumbers, 50 ceuts@ $1.25 doz. RADISHES. It is better to continue sowing this crop in the greenhouse for some time jet. Frames would be rather too cold to insure the quick growth on which de- pends the quality of the radish. Besides, the returns would be so slow that it would hardly pay for the trouble neces- sary in caring for them in cold frames. We have tried several varieties of rad- ishes this winter, but have failed to find any better suited to our purpose than Non Plus Ultra. W. S. Croydon. APHIDES ON LETTUCE, I am sending a few leaves of lettuce and would like to know if aphides are responsible for their appearance f I know there are aphides on some of these leaves but I find some leaves that look the same way but on which I can £nd no insects. G. B. The plants are undoubtedly affected by aphides and they seem to be caus- ing all the trouble, as I can find no trace of any fungus or other disease on the samples sent. The fact that on some of the affected leaves no aphides are found does not prove that aphides did not do the harm. These leaves have probably been injured while in a younger and more tender state; they would not assume the appearance they have now, immediately after the insect had done its work, but would probably take eight or ten days to reach the present stage. The aphides,, affei* Jieachipg, the mature state seem to give their attention more to the ^production of offspring than to feeding: It is while in the more minute stage that they seem to do the most harm. The first indications of their presence is the curling of the young, tender leaves. This curling is caused by the nerves or stronger veins of the leaves being punctured by the insects. The leaves will outgrow this curling to a certain extent, but the withered appear- ance of the nerves of the leaves, as on the sample sent, is proof of this having been damaged at an earlier stage. W. S. Crotdon. WHITE FLY ON TOMATOES. Our experience with this tough little customer is that nothing short of hydro- cyanic acid gas will eradicate it when it once gets a foothold. Though we have kept it in check with tobacco, we were never able to clean the house of it until we used the gas. Our first experience with the gas on tomatoes was in a house containing about 2,700 feet. In this we used one quart water, one quart sulphuric acid and five ounces cyanide of potassium, using Qn^ jar only and placing it on one side, albp.ut half way along the house. We hafl to set it on one side as there is no passageway in the center of the house ; the passageway runs around the house between the center and side benches. On the center bench were two rows of tomatoes on which the first, fruits were just beginning to ripen, while the side benches were occupied by smaller plants. To the plants in the center lit- tle or no damage was done, but where the gas went over these and struck the young plants the tips and more tender leaves were pretty badly scorched. At the ends of the house no damage whatever was done, nor was any damage done on the side of the house where the vessel stood'. The next time we had occasion to use the gas in the same house, in place of us- ing one vessel we divided the same amount of material into two equal por- tions and used two jars, placing them in the passageway at either end of the cen- ter bench. This gave a more even dis- tribution, but still there were a few of the tender leaves slightly scorched. No fly was left alive in eitlier case and we found this sufficient to clean the house, no eggs even hatching out afterwards. Wherever this persistent little customer comes from, we find that he pays us a visit in the tomato house every year. This year we used only about two- thirds of the former quantity and no damage whatever was done, but we found it necessary to give a second application about eight days after the first. This last was given about Christmas time and we have seen no white fly since. In a former article I said that I hesi- tated to recommend this gas, on account of its being so poisonous, but I am glad to see the articles relating to it in the Review. The better it is known the less danger of accident from its use. The great danger lies in people attempting to use it before they are thoroughly alive to the harm that may result through care- les.sness. W. S. Crotdon. Seed Trade News. AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. Pres., S. F. WiUard, Wethersfleld, Conn.; First Vlce-Pres., J. Chaa. McCullougrh, Cincinnati. O.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendet, Cleveland, O. The 22d annual meeting will be held at St. Louis, Uo., June. 190i. It looks as though onion sets might soon be worth as much as last spring. The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, ex- pects to open its new retail store at 81 Kinzie street about March 1. Market gardeners ' trade is brisk at Chicago, compensating in a measure for slow business in the mail order depart- ment. The new Wm. S. Gilbreath Seed Co. of Indianapolis, Ind., is doing business at its temporary quarters, 368 S. Merid- ian street. A report from Traverse City. Mieh., states that the Jerome B. Eice Seed Co. has contracted" for 4,000 acres of peas in that vicinity. In lower Michigan 1,500 acres of beans, radish, squash, pumpkin and cucumber are said to have been con- tracted for. The season is not far advanced and the outlook is for a steadily rising mar- ket up to the limit of what the consumer can afford to pay for all stocks that are scarce. The more plentiful stocks are likely to be influenced by the prevailing conditions and an advance in the prices or at least a stiff demand for all of them is anticipated. The eanners' varieties of peas seem to be up to the demand, but many of the popular garden varieties are becoming short. ONIONS? A novelty in the advertising line is the street ear card appearing in Chicago. It reads as follows: Have you asked your grocer about Budlong's Boilers? "Why not? They are Tender, Juicy. Either kind, Yellow or Eed. L. A. Endlong Co., Chicago. LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT. Ofttimes the little things in business matters are overlooked, and as often, instead of being unimportant, they have the greatest possible of influence in de- termining the customer to buy or not to buy, as the case may be. Facts of this sort were noticeable during a recent trip taken by J. E. Bonwell, secretary of the Bonwell Seed Company, Nebraska City, Neb., who writes Agricultural Ad- vertising. He says: I have just returned from a little trip over the State and have picked up one or two things that may be of interest to agricultural advertisers. During the trip I came in contact personally with a great many farmers and secured from them their views on the adver- tising question. Early this season we used some perforated gummed addresses and mailed some special matter direct to the farmers. While on this last trip one farmer called my attention to this in about the foilowmg words: "You spend a good deal of money and time in try- ing to have your printed matter effective, and tlien when you mail it you use a little printed address stuck on the envelope, sometimes curled up or crossmse. and expect us to make no comparison between the outside and inside of the envelope. I can tell you that in order EUROPEAN DEPARTMENT. In writing these advertisers please mention the Review. A. LeGOQ & GO.

The lovers of ;ui old fashioned winter are surely satisfied with this one, for it began here about April ], last and has been severe enough to suit most anyone, especially the coal man and the ice man, but the latter is deliberating on putting the price up on account of the increased expense of harvesting and delivering the crop by reason of the extra thickness of the ice, showing what combined effort can accomplish. But in the way of combined effort, I think the coming carnation meeting will be a proof of what the Detroit Club can do when it tries. It is the desire of the club that all delegations notify our secretary as to their time of arrival, so that they may be met by our reception committee and escorted to the hotel in safety. It is also urged upo!i all members of the society to show their badge and register at once on the first day with our chairman of arrangements, Air. Beard, and secure their banquet and other tickets so that all members can be properly eared for. Please do so as early as possible and help the manage- ment out, so that they can have some time to enjoy the company of the vis- itors. Everyone will be required to be a member of the society to secure tickets to the banquet, with the exception of members of the local club. Arrangements have been made with all the express companies to deliver at once all packages directed to J. F. Sul- livan, Harmonia Hall, day or night, to the end that we shall have no stock frozen in Detroit. About three weeks ago Mr. Eackham. wishing to change the diet of his car- nations from cow and sheep manure gave three houses a very light dose of horse manure and the result was the complete ruination of every bud and flower by the ammonia. He says no more horse manure for him in the greenhouse. Bag. Lebanon, Ind. — Paul O. Tauer has bought a tract of three acres just out- side of town and intends to erect a range of several houses, 20x150. for roses and carnations for the wholesale market. He will heat bv steam.

TORONTO. The Market. Trade during the last two weeks and up to ash Wednesday was almost all that could be desired. The demand was good aud, although we heard complaints of an oversupply of bulbous stock, yet that was riot the fault of the market. This was the fault of the growers themselves, who overestimated the demand, and more bulb stock was forced in than the market at its best could consume. Roses have been fairly scarce, especially good stock. In carnations the supply of good stock about equals the demand, while the in- ferior grades have to hunt a purchaser. Since Lent began we have noticed a slack- ening of demand, and the supply does not seem to take the hint to hold up accord- ingly. However, at the time of writing, prospects point to a good week 's business. The severe weather has played havoc with the wholesale shipping business and the large retailers have felt it consider- ably, as well. Throughout Ontario dur- ing the last two or three weeks the ex- press companies were backward about ac- cepting perishable goods. A Freeze Out. We are sorry to have to report a very disastrous freeze-out with the Georgetown Floral Co., of Georgetown. This is a new concern, which took over the business of the Floral View Greenhouses and built a new plant last summer. It was con- sidered one of the most up-to-date green- house plants to be found anywhere. Dur- ing the night of February 15, with the temperature below zero and a stiff wind blowing, one pair of boilers sprung a leak. This left the whole strain on the other pair of boilers. The heavy firing in the endeavor to keep frost out was too much for them and before morning they gave out, leaving the whole plant without steam for some four or five hours, until repairs were made. During this time the temperature fell to about 18 degrees. D. J. Sinclair, who has been at Preston Sulphur Springs for the past two weeks, has returned home much improved. D. .1.

The firm of Chessman & Sehepman was visited by a disastrous fire on Sunday night. February 21. They had a range of nine houses and of these seven were prac- tically destroyed and the contents ruined. The loss is estimated at $7,000 and there was but $1,000 insurance. The proprie- tors are hard working, conscientious men and popular in the trade. They have the sympathy of everyone in the setback they have suffered. The Eiehmond Florists' Club met in regular monthly meeting at the green- houses of E. T. Grave, with a goodly number present. President George E. Cause in the chair. In the absence of Mr. Sehepman, who had been appointed to prepare the paper, the secretary read the paper, the subject being "Heat and Heating Systems," a subject near and dear to the heart of every florist. The paper brought out a full and free dis- cussion by the growers. Refreshments were provided by the hosts of the evening. Mr. Sehepman appointed Vernon D. Grave to prepare the paper for the March meet- ing, to be held at the ventilator works of John A. Evans. L. H. Sehepman is the proud father of a baby girl, born February 16. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

At the time of my visit, a house of this promising addition to the list of new varieties was a fine sight, surpassing anything I have seen this sea- son. It should make an ideal commer- cial carnation. It has been noted that many varieties do not succeed well in different locations, but Mr. Murchie fa- cetiously remarked that this variety has proven well, being grown in two states, yet only in one house. He is charmed with Enchantress and considers it his most profitable pink and ranks it next to Lawson. It would be diflfieult to find a finer lot of Golden Gate roses than can be seen here just now. Fred Burki stopped over on his way from Bakers- town to Jamestown and with the writer spent a pleasant hour with the Messrs. Murchie, father and three sons. J. J. Beck, of Newcastle, Pa., is one of the few who grow mushrooms under rose benches without detriment to either stock. Considering the outlay 40 to 60 cents per pound is not a bad figure. He devotes several houses to radishes, three varieties, Eosy Gem, Icicle and Cincin- nati Market, and has obtained top prices in the Pittsburg market right through the winter. The last crop will be pulled in time to fill up the beds with spring stock. Lawson is his best carnation and does so well that he will devote 20,000 feet of glass next season to it. W. D. Fischer & Sons escaped the flood which at one time threatened their store. A quantity of wire designs broke away with the exception of the anchors, which held fast! Business has been fair of late, but not so good as last year at this time. Butz Bros, report similarly. Stocks arc exceptionally good with bright prospects for Easter. W. T. Bell & Sons, of FrankUn, Pa., have made additions to their new plant at Belleville, which supplies the homo trade with carnations. E. C. Eeynders, of Oil City, Pa., is rejoicing in the fact that there is a pos- sibility of the extension of the firm name to Eeynders & Son. The promising young scion arrived recently. W. M. Geo.

Weaver is not a large grower of carnations bnt is doing a nice business and adding to liis plant every year. He has a carnation house 20x85 feet, with glass ends and side and grows first-class stock. Last year he averaged 61 cents per plant all through the house. Law- sons are extra and money makers but Joost is a close second ; he has them of remarkable size. He tried a few Lorna but is disappointed with them; they are sprawly and did poorly until Janu- ary; now they are giving some very good blooms, but the variety will be discard- ed. Harry Fenn is good but the flowers burst badly. White Cloud and Morning Glory are always good and pay well here._ Estelle is short in stem and wUl be discarded for Crane, which is nearly as large a flower on a better stem. LOUISVILLE. KY. Business the past week has been all that could be desired, with a great deal of funeral work. White flowers are in demand. We are having some real win- ter weather here at present. Jos. Coenen & Co. have a bench of Lawson carnations in fine shape that would be hard to beat anywhere. Jacob Schulz 's carnation houses are in fine shape. His Enchantress is the wonder of everybody, having large flow- ers and good, long stems. Henry Fuchs will soon move to his new residence, adjoining his green- houses. Wm. ilann, out in the southern part of the city, reports trade good. Nanz & Neuner made a handsome dis- play in their show window on Valen- tine's day. It was admired by every- body who passed by. John Bohrman, of Jos. Coenen & Co., is confined to his bed with a bad cold. F. Walker & Co. report trade very good for February. Hy. Lichtefeld. Bata\ia, III. — The Williams & Sons Co. is preparing to rebuild its green- houses and put the plant in modern shape. Jeeset Citt, N. J. — There is a pret- ty little story going the rounds as to how Daniel Cole put a cage containing a lion cub in his show window to at- tract attention to his flower store ; the cub broke loose and destroyed the lion 's share of the contents of the store.

I intend to dis- tribute flotver seeds among the school children. Which two varieties of annuals would be best for continuous blooming and easy culture? J. J. L. We suppose that the annuals wanted to distribute to the children should be those (inly that would need no protection of any kind to start in spring, such as asters, ten-week stocks, dianthus, etc, which in our climate are hardly worth sowing un- less you have the help of a greenhouse or cold frame. Presuming the above to be the ease and that they must be sorts that will thrive and flower where they are sown in the open ground, I would say let mignonette be one, and it is diflScult to choose the other where there is such a field to choose from. Let sweet peas be the other, because industry, care and at- tention would be rewarded by superior flowers and that might bring about harm- less rivalry and that is what would tend to create a love of flowers and gardening. W. S, WINDOW GLASS SITUATION. The labor organizations of the window glass workers have recently issued quite an elaborate plan for consolidating the two rival unions and compelling all man- ufacturers to join the w-indow glass and selling agency. If this movement is suc- cessful, it is obvious that higher wages will be paid, higher prices obtained, and a stable market enjoyed once again. In the meantime, however, the stern law of supply and demand is controlling the market and as the production is limited, and there is more than a fair chance that the workers will be successful in their efforts to consolidate, it would seem that glass at present prices is cheap. — Patton 's Jlonthlv.

Mention thp Rpvl<»w whpn vnii writp WAYSIDE JOTTINGS. The craft at Titusville, Pa., complain of a bard winter, ivhich, with the re- cent flood, has dampened their spirits somewhat. AV. Bay says it was pump, pump or be drowned. Thos. ilurdock, says it was fire up or be frozen up, L. J. Eowe is the latest addition to the ranks and says there is more money in tapping oil wells. W. Si. Lott, of Warren, Pa., has re- turned to his former love and can be found in a snug store downtowu. Wii was compelled to give up the green- houses, owing to expiration of lease, and is looking for a desirable location for a new plant. Dan Offerle has built a handsome store with residence above. The store is 26x.50 feet and is thorough- ly up-to-date in every respect. The old office is still standing, a striking illustra- tion of the rapid strides made in our profession during the past decade. Mrs. F. H. Johnson, of Olean, N. Y., is the proud possessor of the only or- chids in town just now. Cattleya lab- iata and Ccelogyne cristata are in bloom and attract much attention. Llewellyn had the misfortune recently to lose one house of roses in some unexplained way. D. R. Herron has had excellent carna- tions, but fewer in number than usual. W. C. EockweU, of Bradford, Pa., will be missed from the convention at De- troit. He is rusticating in Florida hunt- ing 'gators. Walker & McLean, of Youngstown, O., are giving up foliage plants for flower- ing stock. Space is too valuable unless a specialty is made, when doubtless well- grown stock such as is produced here will always find a steady sale. Carnations have not done so well as usual. En- chantress has proven as profitable as any, not excepting Lawson, which is as profit- able as ever. Queen Louise is the best all-around white. WhUe it splits badly the flower can be used in design work and its free flowering qualities overcome this defect. Boston Market is consid- ered a profitable white and will be grown more extensively another season. ' M. W. The F. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a monograph entitled "Beau- tifying the Home Grounds," by L. C. Corbett. horticulturist in the Bureau of Plant Industry.

It is clean and healthy. It has a strong, robust growth, but produces no surplus grass. It is early flowering and the best producer throughout the entire season. Its keeping and shipping qualities are far superior to any other white carnation. If you grow Lady Bountiful you have a white carnation where every flower is a flower with a stiff, wiry stem, a perfect calyx and no splits. It does well in either a medium or heavy soil. You cannot miss it by placing your order now before all the early stock is sold. We have, up to date, booked more orders for Lady Bountiful than the whole season's sales of any new carnation we have vet introduced. IT IS A WINNER. The Belle Is an excellent companion to Lady Bountiful, with equally good points to make it a favorite paying variety with all growers. Our large stock and easy propagation still enables us to offer March delivery. Price for well rooted cuttings, $12 per 100; $100 per 1000 Also Ready Now: FLAMINGO, NELSON FISHER, INDIANAPOLIS, MRS.

The American Carnation Society Holds a Successful Meeting and Splendid Exhibition. President, James Hartshorne, Joliet, III.; Vice-President, Wm. Gammaje, London, Ont ; Secretary, A. M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa.; Treasurer, Fred. Dorner, Jr., Lafayette, Ind. NEXT MEETING AT CHICAGO. Detroit did herself proud this iveek. There is an old superstition that thir- teen is not a number of happy augury, but the fallacy of the belief was never more fully disproved than by the suc- cessful culmination of the thirteenth an- nual meeting of the American Carnation Society, a success which was in part due to the large attendance and wonderful exhibition of masterpieces of the grow- ers ' art, but in no less measure to the hard preparatory work by the officers and members of the Detroit Florists' Club. To J. F. Sullivan, for his man- agement of the exhibition, a large meas- ure of praise is due. The attendance was large and repre- sentative, although certain of the princi- pal cities were not on hand as usual and some of the familiar faces were missing. There was a large representation of the smaller growers and most of the better known workers in the field were present, but Peter Fisher was missed, and the man who made his Mark-you-see was not in evidence. Doubtless he was too busy taking cuttings of Flamingo. But there were enough of the wheel horses and the younger, progressive element present, with their blooms, to give the cause of the carnation such an uplift as it has never known before. An idea of the extent of the exhibi- tion may be gained from the statement that in several of the classes as many as 800 blooms were staged. Several ex- hibitors brought from 1,.500 to 4,000 blooms, one of them having twenty-seven boxes and another nearly as many. It was a great task to stage so large a quantity of stock, but the work was ac- complished without disorder, due to the careful preparations of the secretary, the manager and the Detroit club. It looked as though the fate of having a large number of exhibits barred bv the time limit was to overtake the society again, as the eastern people were delayed five hours by storms and only reached the hall at the very last moment. Many willing hands made short work of get- ting their stock into place. Harmonia hall is a big affair, but it was not large enough. It accommodated the exhibits and the society very nicely, but the public was admitted by card dur- ing certain hours and then the place was crowded to the last inch and utter de- moralization of many a fine exhibit. And it was a show worthy of the praises heard at every hand. Not alone in quan- tity was it ahead of all records, but qual- ity was there. Better stock was never shown; it seems, almost, that the pinna- cle has been reached. "What more could we ask? Certainly it looks as though much of the improvement to come in our carnations must be along the lines of productiveness, fragrance, keeping qual- ity, etc. One notable feature of the show was the uniform high standard of the exhib- its; true there were some poor vases, but Smyth, Hauswirth and Lange putting in a busy morning, and the stock they handled showed the benefit. Occasion- ally there is a grower who can stage his own stock to best advantage, but he is a rare bird. While it was a carnation show, and a trade exhibition at that, yet there were enough exhibits in other lines to give a touch of variety. Three new roses were shown, and one not so new, also some old favorites so well done as to excite much comment. There were violets, sweet peas and pot plants, even heating requisites. But the pictures we will publish next week vrill tell the rest about the exhibits. The Opening Session. Judges having been appointed in the morning, the society was called to order for the business session at seven o 'clock Tuesday evening, President Eackham in- troducing Robert Flowerday, president of the Detroit Florists' Club, who made a neat little speech of welcome on behalf of this most active organization. He then introduced Mayor Maybury, whom many present had met before. He is one of the few municipal chief executives whom the trade societies have encoun- tered who never makes a slip. An ora- James Hartshorne, Joliet, lU., President-Elect American Carnation Society. a perusal of the awards will show that no one grower monopolized the show ; in fact competition was so keen that in one case one set of judges reversed the action of another when called upon to pass upon the same class. One item worthy of note is that the growers who had the forethought to arrange for capa- ble assistance profited largely thereby. Get the retail men to put up' the stock. Several of the Chicago retailers arranged vases for their fiiends, Samuelson, tor of attainments, he extends the glad hand of a cordial welcome in words well chosen and with phrases which show that he knows whereof he speaks. He was at liis best this night and was listened to with evident appreciation. William Scott, of Buffalo, was called on to res- pond and received a round of applause which put him on his mettle. President Eackham then delivered his annual address, which was as follows: 696 The Weekly Florists' Review. March 3, 1904. President Rackham's Address. AVere I a believer in signs or omens, I should be fearful of the success of this meeting, for it is the thirteenth con- vention of our beloved society ; but X cannot doubt when I look at this large body of enthusiastic carnation growers present, but that this will be the blue ribbon meeting of the society, and I ask you as a personal favor to myself aii matter of entries, etc., would not be set aside and forgotten, and a final postal card reminder was sent Febrrrary "2. An atterrrpt was made to get reports from the various shows giving the merits ar-d defects of the carnations shown throirghout the country, so that a suni- rnary could be made covering the whole season. Your secretary -nTcte to members of the socirty in various sections where such shows were being held, also to the Carna ijn Fiancee. — Hattshorne. 69& The Weekly Florists^ Review, March 3, 1904. different secretaries of the clubs holdiug such shows. Some fifty letters wer;- vritton and the responses secured mim- bcred three, one by your president, one by W. N. Eudd and one by your siceri- tary, so that this seems to be a matter of "love's labor lost" and we are left to rely on the trade pajiers for our in- formation. The matter of advertising in tlie ])rein- ium list, which is a very .necessary source of income to the society, is not quite up to the mark this season, in spite of tli.' fact that strenuous efforts were made to increase this feature. In addition to the regular notice to the members over lOn personal letters were written to adver- tisers of our and kindred products. There should be some method adopted whereby the society would have a larger and more permanent income than that committee on McKinley memoiial fund and the committee was continued. \V. X. Rudd was then introduced and read his pajicr on "Exhibition Manage- ment," which appears in full in this is- sue. It was very favorably received. J. F. Sullivan was called upon to open the discussion which followed. Still leg- weary and no doubt temper-tried by the labors of the day, he endorsed Mr. Eudd 's remarks in full, adding a few words as to the trials of an exhibition manager. He called particular attention to the exhibitor who brings a great amount of stock and insufficient help to stage it properly in the time allowed. Other speakers were C. W. Ward. E. H. f'ushman, Lewis Ulrich and William Scott. The judges' report was then present- ed. The following awards were made: Carnation Lady Bountiful.— Dorner. derived from its limited membership and advertising. Our membership is con- stantly changing, and while we are add- ing a few each year over what we lose, ■we are hardly gaining enough to meet the increased demands upon our income. The carnation is forging ahead very fast and we need to give work and seri- ous thought to our society so that it keeps up the same rate of increase. Re- spectfully submitted. Albert M. Herr, Sec'y. Fred Domer, Jr., treasurer, reported receipts for the year as $95.5.41 and dis- bursements $766.26. The permanent fund now contains $l,910.i.'l. The Constitution. The matter of the constitution adopted provisionally one year ago was brought up by President Rackham and after a brief discussion the document, as previously published, was adopted, on motion of E. G. Hill, seconded by William Scott. H. M. Altick reported progress for the The Judges' Repoit.

J. Pal- mer, 87. The poor condition in which some of the varieties arriveel is account- able for some of the low scores. Phyllis and others were not scored at all. Miscellaneous Exhibits. There were a number of meritorious exhibits outside those passed on by the judges. Baur & Smith, of Indianapolis, staged 200 Inclianapolis carnations which made a splendid vase. It should have lictn en- tered for the silver cup. Peter Reinberg, Chicago, staged a fine vase of Uncle John rose, which made a very favorable impression, and a vase of Chatenay which was a revelation to the rose growers and retailers. It was ar- ranged by P. J. Hauswirth. Jas. Taylor, Mt. Clemens, staged a very good vase of Lawson ; it should have been entered in the class for 100. Frank Holznagle showed a vase of Brides and Maids of remarkable quality. Breitmeyer's Sons showed La Detroit in such shape that it was constantly sur- rounded by admirers. Geo. Hopp, of Grand Rapids, lad vio- lets, ajid his new seedling rose. J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, showed Lorraine begonias, also a large-flowered sport, and a very good strain of Prim- ula obconiea. The F'. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, had fine flowers of the White Lawson carna- tion. Aug. Von Boeselager, ilt. Clemens, sliowed good Morning Glory and Lawson carnations, fine violets, anel superb sweet pe.Ts. Wm. Sim, Cliftonelale, Mass., had fine Princess of Wales violets and superb Mont Blanc and Blanche Ferry sweet peas. H. R. Carlton, Willoughby, O., showed Gov. Herrick, a new violet which looks good. The MacArthur rose was shown as grown by Heller Bros., New Castle. The Moorehead steam trap was shown in operation and was watched with much iuteresi:. ('. Lund. Wausau, Wis., had a section of bench showing a new wire support on which he has applied for a patent. There was an exhibit of the To- Bak-Ine products by the Detroit Nico- tine Co. There were a large number of seedling carnations of which no recorei was ob- tainable, and there were two large ex- hibits of carnations arranged for effect in which class no premium was awarded as the judges did not like the effect. Mackinac— Ward. 700 The Weekly Florists* Review. Makch 3, 190-4. Late arrivals were good blooms of Prosperity and Enchantress from the Park Floral Co., Denver; a nice collection of orchids from Lager & Hurrell and some sample begonias from Clueas & Bodding- ton Co. Meeting Place and Officers. Secretary Horr read an invitation from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society to meet in Boston in 1905, also one from the Chicago Florists' Club on behalf of Chicago. Mr. Peirce, of Waltham, spoke enthusiastically for Boston, but it developed that the Boston growers prefer the meeting in 1906, and William Gammagc said that Canada wants it that year also. On motion of E. G. Gillett, Chicago vpas chosen for 1905. The City Hall is emblazoned w-ith a great electric sign, ' ' Welcome American Carnation Society. ' ' Fred Corner lost his overcoat, but the watches were safe. C. W. Skinner was on liand to show the growers how to save the stock in the field. Some people saw evidences that the high feeding policy is apt to give a fine crop of blasted hopes. One man brought good stock in a trunk. Partridge had a double header in his vase of Enchantress.

In judging the vases of one hundred ecure a well balanced exhibit it is advisable to block out the list first and then solicit the prospective donors to assume the paynu'iit of various premiums therein, rather than to otl'er special pre- miuni-i. It shou'd be borne in miuil tluit the exhibition is held in order to interest the public and the list must be designed to secure a con,])rehensive and attractive exhibit. After thi.s. and al- most of equal importance, the list must be so arranged as to attract the ex- hibitor.

It is customary to divide the work of ex- ploiting and holding an exhibition among various committees, and this is an excellent method if the proper men can be placed on the committees, and the proper co-ordination can be secured and the proper amount of enthusiasm developed among them. The manager should, however, be in constant touch ■with all the committees and have an in- timate acquaintance with tlie w-ork they are doing. After deciding to hold an exhibition, the first thing to be done is to issue a premium list. A preliminary premium list should be gotten out as early as pos- sible; a year in advance will be noite too early. Of course the extent of the Ifsl and the size of the premiums will be immense incentive an exhibition is to the buving public. Every exhibition makes new buyers and nmkes old hu_yers purchase more frequently and pay higher prices for better goods. Added to the general increase of sales and prices in the locnl market is the direct advertis- ing value to the grower of a good plant cr vase of flowers, or to the store man exhibiting an artistic arrangement. While something can lie done in the way of missionary work, it must be ad- mitted that the prizes must be made as large as possible in order to appeal to a large proportion of the growers, and — let me whisper it — a still larger propor- tion of the store men. To secure quantity and variety a cer- tain number of premiums for "collec- tions'' are necessary, but there are but few growers who can compete in such classes, and the bulk of the premium money should be offered for specific things. When the individual premiums are not so large as might be desired, sweepstakes, open to the winners in sev- eral other classes, are attractive. ' Pro- vision should be made for gratuities to exiiibit.s not coming w-ithin the classified list of premiums. A final premium list containing rules, dates, iocation of exhibition, addresses, miscellaneous information and the re- vised and numbered premiums should be mailed at least two weeks before the exhil)iti()U. The ]n'emiums should be groujjed under the day and date on which they are to be staged and should be numbered consecutively, as "class 1," '"class -2," etc. Repeating the same num- bers under different divisions or grand classes must be condemned, as it leads to confusion and error. The final list may be arranged to be used as a pro- gram for the public but a special pro- gram giving the musical numbers for each day. as well as the premiums, is better and can generall}' be paid for by the advertising privileges in it. As soon as it is decided to hold an exhibition the press should be notified anil short notes, more or less directly bearing on the show, should appear at intervals. About three weeks before the npening day the "strenuous" advertising \MJik shciuld be done. The press should lie supplied with photographs and mate- rial for reading notices. This work should culminate upon the Sunday be- fore the opening day. If the dates have been so arranged that the exhibition does not immediately precede some event of ci\eish;idowing importance, such as a po- litical convention, or — sad to relate — - the hor.se show, with tact and hustle on the part of the advertising committee, the newspapers can be induced to give liberal space. Banners across the street, street car advs. large billboard posters and small posters in shop windows, res- taurants, hotels and public places are all good. On the evening before the opening day an effort should be made to induce the reporters and photographers for the morning papers to be present and pre- pare illustrated write-ups. The after- noon papers upon the opening day will fidlow with pictures and descriptions of the completed show and the exhibits and a part of the awards. An effort should be made each day to reserve part of the awards to be first published by the morn- ing papers upon the following day. A press committee should be appoint- cil. some member of which should be ]>resent at all times, while the show is open, to talk with and explain the exhibits to the reporters. The best men available should be detailed for this purpose, as the amount of space given in the papers will largely depend on their work. Ar- rangements should be made for quickly copying and manifolding the awards, which should be sent direct to each pa- per by a trustworthy messenger. A first-class press agent will be well worth his hire, but he must be kept in close touch with some one well posted on horticultural stibjects, or the informa- tion given to the public will he weird and wonderful. Tlie newspaperman or press agent simply cannnot spell botan- ical names. As soon as the premium list is out the manager should by personal visits and by personal letters begin drumming up exhibits and keep at it until the show opens. If possible a treasurer snould be ap- pointed who will be responsible for the ticket taker and seller and the handling of all mone.v. Small bills, after receiv- ing the O. K. of the manager or propeir committeeman, can be paid by the ticket seller, the receipted bill being retained and turned in at night as cash, larger items being, of course, paid by check ii» the usual way.

While the writer does not intimate that all are dishonest, he has met among them some of the most finished rascals npon the face of tlie earth and the non- professional show man is a lamb in their hands. A convenient form of ticket is tliat printed in a continuous strip and notched so as to be torn off readily. The tickets are numbered consecutively. Each strip, containing 1,000, is coiled and sealed. The tickets should be ob- tained from a firm making a specialty of such work and preferably located in an- other city to avoid leakage in the press- room. The ticket seller should receipt for tickets received in the morning and at niglit return all unsolu tickets, with a written statement of sales and cash to balance. A locked box should be pro- vided for the ticket taker in which to deposit tickets. In closing at night the treasurer should examine and count all tickets in the box and personally see that they are destroyed. Passes and free tickets should be issued by the treas- urer, on the written order of the proper persons or committees. The press must be taken care of, members of the society are generally admitted free and exhibi- tors are entitled to free admission, but the is.suance of free tickets should be hedged around with all possible difl!i- culties, as the free list is often responsi- ble for a large part of the almost uni- versal deficits which result from horti- cultural exhibitions. When receiving cash at night at least two trustworthy persons should remain with tlie treasurer and accompany him until the funds are put in a safe place. An incompetent secretary or a poor system can create a deal of trouble and arouse a deal of criticism. The writer prefers what may be called the De La Mare system of exhibition accounting as being simple, speedy and accurate. It consists of an exhibitor's book, a class ,jok, a judge's book, entry cards and envelopes for them, and a set of gummed labels of different colors, "1st premium," "2nd premium," etc., to be attached to the entry cards by the judges as they complete each class. The exhibitor's book has a large leaf, about cap size. At the top appears the name of one exhibitor and his entry number. In a column at the left appear the numbers of all the classes in which he is entered. This is copied from his entry blank. In the middle space is en- tered on the line with eaen class number, after the judges have passed on the class, the premium won; as, "first," "second," etc., and in the right-hand column, which is ruled for dollars and cents, is entered the amount of the prize, so that when all are entered a footing of that column will give the total amount of his win- nings. The class book is similar to the ex- hibitor's book, except that each page is devoted to one class, and in the left- hand column are written the entry nmn- bcrs of all persons competing in the class. In the middle column is written the prize won and at the right the amount. The footing of each page will give the total awarded under the class in question, and it is evident that the total footings of the class book and the exhibitor's book must agree, thus mak- ing an excellent check. All entries in liotli books should be made from the ex- hibitor's entry blank ana should be care- fully checked over to insure absolute ac- curacy. It is well to enter tlie amounts of each premium ofl'ered at the head of the page of its class. The judges' books are smauer and have perforated pages to be used in du- plicate by carbon. At the top appears the class number and the total number of entries in the class, and below are written the awards as made, giving both entry number and exhibitor's name. In use, an assistant will remove the envel- opes from the exhibition cards and affix the pasters as instructed by the judges. The .secretary or a trustworthy assistant Carnation Juno. — Hiincs. 706 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Mabch 3, 1904. who should accompany the judges, hav- ing the carbon sheet in position, will write in the awards. Each judge will then in turn take the book, see that the class nuinbtn- is correct and that he has examined the total number of exhibits entered and see that the names and en- tiT numbers of the prize winners are properly entered under the prize won. signing his initials. This method, if properly carried out, gives an almost absolute guarantee against errors and, as this is the most vital part of the bookkeeping, this method should never under any circumstances be varied from. As fast as a class is judged the dupli- cate sheet may be torn out and sent to the press committee, avoiding vexatious delay to the reporters and assuring tlieni an accurate list, while a complete and certified list of awards remains in the book. The exhibition cards will have the class number, the name of the class and the exhibitor's number and name. They should be enclosed in an unsealed en- velope bearing on the outside nothing but the class number. It is a common mistake to place the entry on tlie en- velope also. This is wrong, as after opening a few envelopes the judges will know the names, and wliile a knowledge of the exhibitors" names will rarely in- fluence a judge, he much prefers not to know them until the decision is made. These cards will all be made ready in advance and tied in bundles, with each exhibitor's name attached to his bundle. They are delivered to the exhibitor and attached by him to his exhibit. Here, as everywhere, checking, preferably by a judge is much better. One man. realiz- ing that the burden is on him alone, will be much more likely to exercise greater care tlian if he can shift two-thirds of the blame on his "wicked partners." If possible at least two of the judges should be residents of a distant locality. In close decisions the work of such judges is much better received by the exhibitors than that of local men and charges of favoritism are much less apt to be made. In general a grower is a better judge of plants and flowers than a retail man, and the store man is a much better judge of artistic arrangements than the grower. It should be borne in mind, however, that, over and above all. the necessary quality in a judge is the judicial tem- ])erament. There are many first-class growers having wide knowledge of plants and tlowers who are absolutely unfitted to act as judges. Men who have had experience as judges are always to be preferred. Of course a judge's absolute honesty must be beyond question. A committee of ladies selected to judge a limited number of exhibits will often add to the public interest. All protests should lie filed in writing over signature and should state in full the grounds for protest, and should be filed at once. 'Phe protest should at once be placed before the proper com- mittee, who will first call in the judges and learn their grounds for making tlie award, after the grounds of the protest are made known to them. They should be given a chance to rejudge. if they de- sire, after which the committee niiiy ex- amine the exhibits and confirm or alter the awards as mav seem best. Carnation Richmond Gem, bloom full size. second person, is the order of the day. There must be no mistakes. After the awards are all made a voucher is to be made for each winner, showing in detail and in total the amounts won, which voucher will go to the treasurer for payment. Three judges are commonly invited to act, although the wTiter believes one The judges, especially in a large ex- hibition, should not be required to ex- amine exhibits, count blooms, or other- wise be responsible for compliance with the rules. It wastes, their time and dis- tracts their attention from their proper work. A properly selected examining committee should precede them. They should count all exhibits requiring a specified number and relentlessly reject any exhibit which, by overplus, or short- age, or in any other way, does not abso- lutely and literally comply \rith the rules. It is not fair to the man who faithfully lives up to the rules to allow another who, whether by accident or de- sign, seeks to evade them, to compete with him. Any rule which cannot be enforced must be struck from the list, while those retained must be rigorously enforced. The examining committee will note grounds for rejection on the cards of all exhibits thrown out, and will O. K. the envelopes of all those accepted. An entry blank should be enclosed with each final premium list, and entry should be made on this by number only. Entries should be closed at a certain time before the classes are to be staged, in order to allow the secretary to get his work in hand and to enable the man- ager to arrange proper space, tables and vases. A fine should be assessed against every exhibitor failing to stage an ex- liibit entered, unless it has been declared out, at least by noon the day before the class is to be staged. Some decorating, more or less elab- orate, will l)e needed in the hall. As there are many florists in nearl)' all cities who are experts at this work, the writer need not enter into minute de- tails. It should be borne in mind, how- ever, that the decorations are simply a background to set ofT the flowers and plants, and should be subordinated to that purpose. Flags, bunting, paper flowers. Japanese lanterns, and the like, are in most eases better excluded. Among greens, the wild smilax and evergreen boughs are pre-eminently the thing. Per- haps there is no more ett'ective back- ground for cut flowers, especially chrys- anthemums, than the dull-colored au- tumn foliage of the white oak. The brilliant scarlet and yellow tints of maple foliage are not so good in large masses. Evergreen trees can be used where there is a scarcity of palm groups, and for screens. Spanish moss is elTective, but expensive. Corn stalks may often be used to good advantage. Wild smilax may be used to drape tables and twine around cut flower vases, thus relieving what is frequently an ugly blotch in an otherwise beautiful picture. Tlie deco- ration should be started as early as pos- ^sible and finished, and debris removed before the exhibits begin to arrive. The problem of installation is greatly simplified where space is sold, as the hall can be mapped and the exhibitor can be trusted to fill the space he has paid for. With such exhibitions, how- ever, this article does not largely deal. In public exhibitions, where so much de- pends on the general appearance, this plan cannot be pursued. The writer has learned by dear experience that from the average exhibitor no adequate idea of the extent of his exhibit can be had. He has seen a promised carload of plants dwindle to a small express wagon load and a small group expanded to a mov- ing van full, at the last moment. The manager must see the plants in hand shortly before the show, by as many exhibitors as possible, and get as complete an idea as possible of the size, quantity and character of them : he must study his hall frequently and carefully in connection with the knowledge he has gained of the exhibits and sketch out a skeleton of the picture he wishes to create, locating his prominent groups. He will then endeavor to induce as many Maiuh The Weekly Florists* Review, ^07 as possible of the dependablo exhibitors who have the material and the skill in arranging to meet him at the hall one by one (never two at a time) and en- deavor to induce each to accept and till the space which lie, the manager, wishes filled. This requires diplomacy, but can generally be done. The cut flower tables must then be lo- cated, also the space for table decora- tions, or other large decorative work. These, especially the table decorations. are best located in a separate room, if possible, although there must be a good- ly quantity of color in the main hall. The rest must be left until the e-\hibits arrive and the manager can size them up and place them where the best effect will be produced. In this process the manager must coax and wheedle, brow- beat and bully, perhaps "cuss" a little, and at last possibly demonstrate that he is the czar of all the Russias for this day and date. At this time there must be one "boss'' and there must be no ap- peal from his decisions. He must dem- onstrate that he is fair but at the same time must make it emphatically known that the whim of no one exhibitor is to be allowed to injure the effect of the dis- play as an artistic whole. Let him ex- plain and argue, If there is time, but if not. let him command and see tliat his commands are obeyed. Of course the arrangement of exhibits in classes for judging and their re- arrangement before the public is admit- ted is desirable, but in large exhibitions where the hall rental amounts to many hundreds of dolars per day tliis cannot be done. Well in advance of the work the necessaiy men will have been en- gaged and instructed. Tables, stands, vases, paper, hammers, wire, laaders, wa- ter cans and all the other thousand and one requisites will have been provided, placed in convenient location and put in charge of a trustworthy man. From the time the exhibits begin to arrive until the doors are opened to the public the manager must be in the hall. He must be prepared for every conceivable aoci: dent, and many that are not conceivac ble. A time should be set at which no more exhibits or material shall enter the hall, ana he must have a man at the door who will be proof against entreaty, bulldozing or physical force. Another hour should be set at which all must be ready, and he should begin early and notify all at frequent intervals that the rule will be enforced. It is not fair to the public to admit them to a half- staged exhibition after they have paid to see a finished one. and it is not fair to the exhibitor who is on time to have his display stand and possibly suffer to help out the delinquents. When the first day's exhibit has been installed half the battle is won. but un- tiring effort and unceasing watchfulness are necessary until the last plant is out of the hall after the show is over. Thefts must be guarded against. The public does not realize the value of the mate- rial shown and the stealing of flowers is considered no great crime by many — and, besides the public, tnere are often others. Each day the water in vases should be changed, withered flowers re- moved and stems shortened. At crowd- ed times plants and flowers must be pro- tected from injury. Faded or damaged material must be removed or placed in less prominent positions and places made for new, fresh and novel exhibits as they come in. ^^^r "^ m V W- 1% 1 ^,*- £.■ ^f 'Wsta* I -SI**?; ^^H m A mJ/ be no reason to object.

TheMaikeU Trade the past week was first-class, and from the reports of the different fiorists throughout the city Lent has hardly been felt. It is true that there are no large weddings or receptions, yet a few dinners and luncheons, with plenty of funeral work, kept most of us very busy last week, and everybody seems well pleased with the business during the first week in Lent. Wholesale men also report a good shipping trade, w'hieh helped to clfan up some of the surplus stock. The weather is most beautiful and the indications are that by the end of the present week there will be a big glut in carnations, violets and bulbous stock. Roses have not been any too plentiful, but of an improved qualitj-. At this writing they are in heavier supply, es- pecially Bride, Maid, Meteor and Perle. American Beauties are still scarce, with a brisk dciuaml. Those that come in are off color and poor in quality and are shipped in from the outside. Meteor and Bridesmaid are of good color. Some good Liberty are also seen, but with short stems. Carnations are coming in heav- ily and of very fine color.

Some of the smaller growers are a little behind, but a good bottom heat will bring them to the front in time. From present prospects quite a few new greenhouses will be added this sum- mer among our carnation growers around Kirkwood and Clayton. Tliey all have had a good season, big crops and big prices. James S. Wilson, of Western Springs, 111., was with us from Saturday to Mon- day, leaving here for Detroit to attend the carnation meeting. Dr. A. S.

David Banz- hof has left Forest Park. Ed. Glenzing, of Kirkwood, lost all three of his houses by fire the past week. The loss of the plants was due to freez- ing and smoke. F.

A partic- ularly good one is a cross between Jubi- lee and Old McGowan, color a shade lighter than Lawson ; it is also a great producer. He also has a fine white, both being good keepers. Everything is in readiness to receive the executive board on Saturday morn- ing, and from that time on we will make them feel at home.

The tone of the market since my last notes has changed materially. The Len- ten sea.sou is now being felt by every- one and the market in general is very irregular. Weather conditions also af- fected values. Prices have fallen con- siderably and one can buy roses and carnations in quantities at one's own figure. All bulbous stock is a drug. The carnation supply is very heavy and lots of 1,000 are offered as low as $15 for fancy stock. Roses are meeting with better success; while the supply is very large, prices remain firmer, fancy stock still selling at $10 per 100. Beauties are scarce, the best bringing $5 per doz- en.

The follon-ing notes on commercial varieties will be found of interest at this time, when planting plans are being pre- pared for next season. Adam Liub & Sm, Hugaonsville, N. Y. Wliite Cloud is doing fine with us and always did. It must be that the soil has a great deal to do with it. Our soil is a sandy loam. Night temperature is from 50 to 53 degrees. G. H. Crane is a lit- tle slower than in former years, but shows up good this past seven weeks, with a temperature of 53 degrees. Lawson has been exceptionally fine all winter with a temperature of 55 degrees. Enchantress is all that was claimed for it.

TORONTa Trade during the last week was con- siderably better than the week previous and Saturday made a good finish, and a great quantity of cheap stock was cleaned up. Of course we note that the price was pretty low on some stock, especially bulb stock, tulips and daffodils retailing at 10 cents per dozen and carnations at 15 cents. Of course the best stock brought better prices but this oversup- ply of cheap stock helped to hold down the prices considerably. At time of writing, the fiercest storm of the season is passing over Toronto and the general prospects are that it will demoralize the trade for a few days at least. Mr. T. H. Milligan, who took over the greenhouses in connection with the Mimico Industrial School last fall, has opened up a store on Queen St., West, and reports business very satisfactory for a beginning. We had a call during the week from Mr. E. H. Wright of Ottawa, who came through, doing a little pastoral visiting. He reports business very good during the winter, and as the opening of parliament takes place in a very short time, he ex- pects that will boom the florists' trade in Ottawa and will put a "Garrison" finish on a good season 's business. D. J. ROCHESTER, N. Y. We are in need of sunshine, as we have scarcely been able to take a look at the sun this winter. It has made cut flowers of every description very scarce. The ruling price for carnations has stayed at $2.50 to $3 per 100 for common stock, some of the poorer grades bringing $2, with fancies from $4 to $6. Most of the carnation growers are getting excited over the stiff prices, as I scarcely know of one who does not intend to increase his glass this summer, ^ome of them will almost double their places and a good many of the market gardeners are going to plant carnations instead of let- tuce next season. The scarcity has been felt most by the small retail men, as they had to refuse orders because they could not obtain flowers without buying them at the retail price. One of the retail men remarked to me the other day that if things did not change he would have to go out of business. H. E. Wilson is doing a fine business, as it is on the increase every day. They have been working almost night and day at funeral work and are bringing up a nice lot of cut flowers from their green- houses. Miss Callaster has sold out her carna- tion plant to a man who expects to erect another house this coming season. H. M. TARRYTOWN. N .Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held on February 23 and was very largely attended. The monthly prize, given this month by F. Gibson, was won by H. T. Kastberry, gardener to the Misses Mas- ters. Dobbs Ferry, for the best bunch of fifty violets. Other competitors were President Ballantyne. Vice-President Jos. Bradley. I. Bryan and others. Mr. Bryan exhibited a very fine bunch of Princess of Wales, each flower measuring two inches in diameter. A splendid vase of the new Daheim carnation, shown by the F. E. Pierson Co., attracted a great deal of attention, with its massive and heavy flowers of the deepest and most beautiful shade of crimson scarlet, measuring over three inches across. Mr. Pierson tells us that one good feature about it is that it never bursts the calyx. A. Brown and Fred Koenig, of Tarrytown, were elected active members. Francis Pammer, of Tarrytown, one of our most prominent landscape garden- ers, gave a very instructive illustrated lecture on his travels through Europe last summer. Coffee and sandwiches were served and the entertainment of the even- ing commenced with songs and recita- tions by Messrs. Scott, Lee, McFarlane, Malony and others, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Walquist. This was the first entertainment given after the reg- ular meeting and every member seemed to enjoy himself and everyone agreed that it will be a very good way to get a bet- ter attendance and bring the members closer together. Each will try to do his best at the next sociable evening, which is in May. T. A. L. LONDON, ONT. Iq the first week in January I took a trip to London, Ontario. It was three days after the very disastrous fire in which the chief of the London fire brigade lost his life. I called at the chief's house and found a large number of beautiful floral pieces made up by the London craft, also a number of fine tributes sent from Toronto, Berlin and other places. The first greenhouse establishment vis- ited was that of the old and well estab- lished firm of J. Gammage & Sons. As on many former occasions, I found the roses, carnations, palms, the large line of potted plants and bedding stock in fine condition. Owing to the big demand for Christmas and New Year's festivities, as also to the very dark weather in Decem- ber, blooms in the rose houses were very scarce. The carnation houses made a very good showing of bloom, notwith- staneling the very heavy cut. 'Two styles of houses, radically different in their construction, are used in growing carna- tions. One the old, wide style of houses, with elevated wooden benches, the others very narrow houses, not more than ten feet wide and not over three feet high at the gutter line. A path runs through the center of each house, and on either side of this is a solid bed. There are no tile used in the bottom of these beds, the soil for growing the carnations resting on a natural cushion of sand. Here is an object lesson for those of us who are un- decided as to whether carnations will thrive best in solid beds or on raised benches. From what I saw here, from what I have seen at other places and from the little experience fjainea at my own plant, I am convinced that solid beds are best for those houses and those plants that we desire to cut a heavy crop from in the spring and summer, and raised benches, including brick and tile benches, for plants and houses from which we de- sire to do our heavy cutting in the fall and winter. Lawson, Glacier, HiU, White Cloud, Crane, Roosevelt, Golden Beauty and many others were in fine condition, but in my opinion Enchantress is empress of them all. Why I entertain this high opinion of Enchantress, I will communi- cate at some future date. The next place I visited was that of F. Dicks. This gentleman is a carnation specialist. The houses are not of the most modern construction, but they are well built, well kept and form a compact block of greenhouses and, like those on the Gammage place, are heated by steam. What was said about Lawson, Glacier, Eoosevelt, etc., holds good here also. In addition to these a number of houses of Cerise Queen and Queen Louise and extra heavy crops of buds impressed me most favorably. Very little else in the plant line excepting carnations is to be seen on this place, but the neat and cleanly appearance of the houses, the healthy and thrifty condition of the plants testify to the fact tbat Mr. Dicks is a most expert crrower.

APHIDES ON LETTUCE. Gardeners of the old school had a the- ory that tnseets would not attack a healthy plant; that it was only when a plant was in poor health that they made their appearance. This may be true with a plant grown xnider natural con- ditions, but grown under artificial con- ditions, as lettuce in a greenhouse, no matter how healthy a plant may be, it is not immune from attack, though a healthy plant is less liable to serious in- jury than one in a more or less sickly condition. Aphides are most apt to put in their appearance when hard firing is necessary to keep up the heat during excessive cold spells, and it is well to be prepared with some preventive. We find that the smell of tobacco through the house will pre- vent the insects from getting a foothold about as well as anything we have tried. The cheapest and easiest means of using this is to have stems distributed through the house and have them renewed occas- ionally when the strength is exhausted. We have seen them spread on top of the hot water pipes, but this is rather an un- tidy way ; besides they dry out so quickly that the strength is soon exhausted. It is better to tie them up in bundles, so that they will not get scattered around, and suspend the bundles under the benches, not too close to the hot water pipes, moistening them occasionally should they become dry, but the water tliat drains through the benches is usu- ally suificieut to keep them moist enough. If kept too wet they will get musty and rot. This bundle system is much cleaner, as they can be easily changed without making any dust or dirt. Green aphides is the commonest enemy of lettuce, though the black variety will sometimes attack it, and the latter is far the harder to kill. If either of them should get a foothold tobacco smoke is as safe a remedy as any, but it is bet- tor to smoke lightly two or three nights in succession rather than apply it too heavily at one time.

The writer believes a true report of such occurrences are valuable as a means of warning others against the dangers and damages liable to result from bad management or negligence of the water iine, and he has no sympathy with those desiring to shield any entitled to blame by attributing accident to causes of a mysterious or miraculous nature. Boilermaker. THE FREEZE-OUT AT GEORGE- TOWN, ONT, Ed. Review: — The writer notes an ac- count in your February number, page 668, of a freeze-out at Georgetown, Out. If your correspondent had obtained cor- rect information he would have been able to report that the leak in the boilers re- ferred to was caused by firing the boilers while substantially empty of water and that it applied to the whole battery. I am able to certify the correctness of the above, having personally inspected the TO RUN REGULARLY. There is pulling power in every clean paper. We emphatically do not believe in intermittent advertising, but keep hitting the nail everlastingly on the head. Our contracts are made for twelve months, to run regularly.

If all the growers knew how to market their stock what would happen to those who are already onto their .job? Cut it out. How do you suppose we are to get holdiday prices during the week before a holiday if the rest of them don't pickle and leave us a bare market to take our stuff? The pickler is all right.

Cherrt trees are one of the scarce items from Maine to California. R. il. Kellogg, the noted strawberry raiser, of Three Rivers. Mich., died Febru- ary 17 of Bright 's disease. The leadinET nurseries are findin>; their landscape departments among their most profitable aids in securing busi- ness. It is worthy of note that many of the largest nurseries, where the visitor, be he customer or not, is most hospitably welcomed on week da.ys, are not open to the public on the Sabbath. PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y. — The Sunnyside Nursery Co., authorized capital $5,000, has been incorporated by Frank B. Lown, John B. Grubb and Harry C. Bar- ker to a general horticultural business. This is a season when the western fruit tree growers will have their full share of the trade in nursery stock. Tho western farmer is fast becoming a tree planter; as yet it is fniit he wants, a little later he will indulge in ornamen- tals. EvEKGREENS may be planted in either spring or late summer, August and Sep- tember. Frequent root-pruning in mid- summer or early autumn makes for suc- cess after leaving the nursery. For ship- ping, good balls of earth should be se- cured and the roots protected by burlap. The collection of kalmias and rhodo- dendrons has become a considerable in- dustry in the mountains of North Caro- lina. Many carloads are shipped out each season. In some instances nursery- men have sent down men to gain control over desirable areas or to do their own collecting. The stock stands shipment well. WANTED. 6 or 8 LAIREL TREES. STAIVDARD.

Field corn that irill grow is the nest item that will be hard to secure. Visited Chicago : Chas. P. Braslan, of Braslan Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal. -A SHARP advance in onion set prices at Louisville, Ky., is a development of the week. The properly grown Chicago onion set continues to bring the top figure in a rising market. The demand for bush beans of all va- rieties continues. There seems to be no surplus anywhere. The Baltimore seed houses which were burned out have all found adequate tem- porary locations, and are doing business again. The increase of orders as a result of the milder weather of the past few days shows what may be expected when spring opens up properly. It is a long time since seed orders gen- erally have been so hard to fill in full as this year. This applies to mail orders as well as to "fill in" orders from the trade. The scarcity of home-grown standards, and the most needed parts of foreign shipments in the hands of the appraiser, keeps the seedsman from worrying about other things at present. The new seed committee of the Phila- delphia Commercial Exchange is com- posed of Chas. B. Koch, Chas. G. Alex- ander, Herbert W. Johnson, Geo. E. Taylor and Casper T. Sharpless. As long as it is advertised that a dol- lar's worth of seeds may be had for twenty-five cents it will be hard to con- vince the consumer that a free distribu- tion of the goods is very far wrong. The western and southwestern growers of onion sets, who have planted no in- considerable acreage in recent years, are reported to be satisfied to turn their con- tracts over to the Chicago district this season. The firm of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. has done very little magazine advertising in the past two or three years, but is making up for it in a measure this sea- son, having fuU pages in most of the March issues. "The seeds you sent me were no good," wrote a constituent to Eepresent- ative Lacey, of Iowa. "Nothing but weeds grew where I planted them." By the next mail Mr. Lacey sent a reply. ' 'I take pleasure in forwarding you, "under another cover," wrote the lowan, "a copy of a bulletin from the Department of Agriculture. It is entitled 'Weeds and How to Kill Them.' " — Minneapolis Journal. The Buckbee Seed Co. loss at Eock- ford, which has attracted wide attention, has been settled by compromise. The fire occurred in June, 1903, and a con- test was precipitated at once by the re- fusal of the companies to settle on the basis of seed values that day, they eon- tending for cost value. The insured claimed a value of $121,875 in stock and fixtures, with insurance of $80,500. This would make the loss total to insurance. The claim was compromised February 25, the companies paying $72,450, a reduc- tion of $49,425 from the original claim. This is on the basis of 90 per cent on the insurance.

SVo are liaving some of the warmest weatlier since last fall, and it seems to be doing business a good turn, as there is more snap to the market than there has been for some time. All kinds of flowers are getting a chanee at it, too. Roses are in larger supply and some first-class stock is seen. Red is still very scarce. Beauties are improving in quality and the supply is larger. Some extra fine Gates and Ivory are selling at good figures. Carnations are about equal to the demand, with the price a notch or two lower than last week, es- pecially on the better grades. The qual- ity in most cases is very good. Bulbous etoek moves rather slow, callas doing better, perhaps, than anything else. Har- risii go but ]ioorly and valley is almost a drug. Thousands of jonquils are be- ing shipped in from West Virginia and eell as low as $5 per 1.000. Some days violets are scarce and the price jumps up, but the next thousands of them are in sight, and many go to waste. Thus a grower's returns depend gieatlv on his luck. Various Notes. The annual carnation show of the Florists" Society will take place March 12. Everything points toward a first- class show. Out-of-town growers are in- vited to make exhibits and tlicir stock will be carefully staged and cared for by the society. Growers and introducers of new things are especially requested to send us some sample blooms, so that the Cincinnati bovs can see what thev aie like. James Hartshorne, of the Chicago Carnation Co., was in the city last week, and it is no idle rumor that he took back with him the ownership of R. Witter- etaetter's new carnation, 'ine Cardinal. It's a mighty good carnation and looks to have a future. E. G. Gillett and .J. A. Peterson spent the greater part of the past week in be- ing initiated into the mysteries of the Scottish Rite and Shrine. Chas. Weltz, of Wilmington. 0., joined them in cross- ing the burning sands. Eight or ten left here Tuesday night for Detroit. They were the usual stand- bys, well known at the conventions. L. Pfeiffer Sons are building a new house. 22x100, to be devoted to Brides and Maids. H. H. Ritter, of Dayton. 0.. was in attendance at the Masonic meetings last ^veek. C. J. Ohmer. FERNS SPECIAL OFFER.

San Francisco, Cal. — The Board of Public Works has granted the petition of the Retail Florists' Association and or- dered the flower peddlers off the streets. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. We have had an almost continuous downpour of rain for the past tuo weeks and the eflfeet on business is very marked. Outside of funeral orders, which have been fairly steady, there is very little doing, and stocks of flowers have piled up at a tremendous rate in all the stores. Violets have become so plentiful that many of the growers have ceased to pick any, or only a small portion of the crop. The fact that the basket ped- dlers have been driven off the public streets adds to the quantity that is dumped daily in the stores. Bunches containing 200 fine blossoms are sold Avholesale at 50 cents per dozen, and there is no prospect of the supply dimin- ishing. All kinds of outdoor bulbous stock, and especially narcissi and dafl'o- dils, are a glut. The former sell at from 25 to 50 cents per hundred and the lat- ter at about 50 cents per hundred for the best quality of flowers. Many of the dealers handle considerable fruit blossoms and almond, peach and cydonia ■are at their best at this time. Carna- tions remain stationary in price and, although not very plentiful, there are more than enough to lill requirements. Roses are about the same iu price as they have been for the past three weeks and about enough to supply demands. In- •door freesias are coming in good lots and find a very ready sale. There has been a gi'eat improvement in the quality - of this popular flower over those of the past few years. There is a freesia spe- -ciali-st in Oakland who grows his flow- ers on stems two feet long and over and stiff as carnations, and he has found a splendid sale for them at $3 per hun- dred spikes. Valley is very plentiful and Lilium Harrisi is becoming more plentiful. I think most of our growers will have a good supply for Easter, judg- ing by the condition of the plants in some of the nurseries I have visited. Dutch hyacinths in 6-inch pots and tu- lips, especially Keizerskron and Yellow Prince, help to make windows especially ■ attractive at this time. Some very fair samples of Crimson Rambler in 7 and 8-inch pots and in full bloom are be- ginning to come in and everj-thing here Your Easter display should be different ; above the average. The RIGHT RIBBONS will help to make it so. You will be surprised at the elegance and distinction which these ribbons of quality give to your plants and flowers. Woven with especial reference to florists' use, the textures a-e firm and lustrous, and the colors are as near the shades of flowers and foliage as can be produced. -■ind yet— till- Hight Eibbons cost vou lest- than the usual sort, for "you save all betw«en profits" by buying direct from the mill. 5plttlabrl^l|ia R-'viow Tvhon you 99 A Wee Wail from the woods (man)" "Quality Counts ("THAT'S ALL") This stock can be had only direct from the introducers or their agents.

Apropos of the fact that the Italian flower venders have been ordered off the streets by the city authorities, the Mer- chants' Association of San Francisco has sent a lengthy communication to our Board of Supervisors, in which they state that as the flower peddlers were distinctively a feature of San Francisco life, and that they were not detrimental to the florists' trade in general, but that it cultivated a taste for flowers with many who do not ordinarily visit the stores, and that in the end trade at large was much benefited. This is ex- actly the opposite of what is contended by the Retail Florists' Association, which secured the abolition of the free flower mart. The florists all over the city claim that all the peddlers should be driven off the streets, as it is an un- fair proposition to allow them to sell their goods in front of the stores and on the most popular thoroughfares with- out charging them a heavy license to even matters. The war goes merrily on and we will know in a week or two whether the venders will be permitted to resume their usual vocation or not. G. THE MAKING OF LAWNS. Although the making of lawns does not come strictly within the province of the florist or nurseryman, our advice is constantly sought regarding their plant- ing, care and re-seeding. The practice in California is somewhat different from that of other places. To begin with, let me say a few words regarding the variety of grasses used. Kentucky blue grass makes the best sod unless it is planted either in the shade of trees or houses or on very sandy soil. It is used more than any other giass because it is easy to cut and makes a very velvety sward. Where there is much shade and a deficiency of water Australian rye grass is found to be much more serviceable than blue grass. It roots very deeply, grows luxuriantly 728 The Weekly Florists* Review.

These two grasses are practically all that are used here, although some people like a white clover lawn. But clover, unless carefully handled regard- ing watering, has a tendency to die out during our six months of summer drought and it has not become very popular on that account. The time for making a lawn here is from the first of March until September. After that month, on account of cold nights, seed germinates very slowly, and when frosty weather comes it is almost impossible to get the grass up at all. This is especially true of the Kentucky blue. I have seen many lawns that were very carefully planted and after the seed had sprung up and grown an inch or so they were completely killed by the frost. This does not happen with Australian rye grass or clover, and consequently if a lawn must be planted between Septem- ber and the following March do not plant Kentucky blue grass. During the spring and summer months blue and rye grass come up very quickly. From four to ten days is the average length of time for the young blades to show themselves. To obtain a good, long-lived lawn the soil should be at least six inches in depth and should be weeded twice during the first two months and after that cut on the average of twice a month during the warm months and once in two months during cold weather. If the soil is poor it should be enriched with bone dust every spring, and if that is not available well rotted manure can be used to ad- vantage. I find March the best month STRONGLY ROOTED CARNATIONS - NOW Ready. GBOWN OUT OF DOOBS AND BOOTED WITHOUT HEAT. White 100 Queen Louise $1.20 Flora Hill 1,20 Alba 2.50 Gov.

I prefer bone meal for all kinds of lawns, as its action, although it begins slower, lasts much longer than any other kind of fertilizer, and it has the advantage of not being full of the seeds of noxious weeds, as manure usually is. Dandelion and red sorrel are the great enemies of lawns in this country and the only way to eradicate them is to dig them out by hand, not a very pleasant but the only t'fl'ei-tual way I know of. G.

CATAI.OOS ON AFFI.IC&TION. -MrntiriTi Tbe Itcvi wlinn yon writo DENVER. COLO. With the mercury in the vicinity of 60 degrees in the shade for the month of February, it would be natural to expect big results in the production of flowers. Tlie influence in this respect has been vei'y satisfactory and especially so in the ■carnation line. Such carnations as are now on the market here lead one to be- lieve that Uncle John's prophecy is near to realization. Forty years ago the Mal- maison was considered the ideal of per- fection in the carnation family, and even as late as ten years ago it was grown ■as the leading pot variety in the vicin- ity of London. But they lacked the fin- ished form of Prosperity, Enchantress and Adonis. Tliese three varieties have taken the lead, both in popularity and price, the past season, and have always found ready sale at good prices. Pros- perity, while not the money maker that Enchantress is, is much sought after and the leading stores here think it indis- pensable, but Enchantress is considered by grower and dealer out here as the money maker of the da.y. One grower in- formed me quite recently that he picked from 500 plants of this variety last December just 4,000 blooms, and when seen the past week they looked to be running pretty close on that record. Of course our bright, warm sun, with plen- ty of genial air, is conducive to such results, which cannot possibly be at- tained anywhere east of this region at the time mentioned. Adonis has created a favorable impression here and will be grown for all it is worth the coming season. It is considered the leading scar- let out here, its only fault being its deficiency in wood for cuttings, as it produces a flower on almost every growth it makes. A prominent Chicago retailer, who has been on a visit here, was very favorably impressed with it as it is produced out here, and has clianged his opinion of it, when compared with what he has seen elsewhere. Bulbous stock is now coming into the stores in good quantity and quality. This is the first year in many that either grower or dealer has had any satisfac- tory results from handling it. This con- dition may be accounted for by one of our largest bulb growers not being suc- cessful in getting his order last fall. Those who are fortunate enough to have them on hand are making a profit on them, to their surprise. Lilies are not holding out in health as well as was ex- pected a few months ago, and the pros- pect now is that about one-fourth the crop will be a failure. But .Japan-grown longiflorinns are looking well and those fortunate enough to have them in quanti- ty will to some extent be reimbursed for their losses on Harrisii. NEW ROSES!

The Review when you write. Beauties are keeping up their estab- lished reputation for producing non- productive wood, or no wood at all, at this time of the year. One of our lead- ing growers is utilizing the blind wood for layers and in this manner propa- gates considerable of this stock for next summer's planting. The wood is bent over and brought to the ground and tongued and inserted in the soil at a point when the wood is most favorable for the operation. Tliis stock has proven as satisfactory as that obtained by the usual method of propagation. J. A. Valentine is on his semi-annual trip in the East in quest of meritorious stock for his establishment here, and subsequently to take in the carnation convention before his return.

Will you please publish a rule for es- timating the horse-pqiver of a tubular steam boiler and also a rule for esti- mating its capacity for greenhouse heat- ing, both for steam and hot water? S. B. It is not an easy matter to estimate the horse-power of a boiltr, as the num- ber and size of the flues, the length of the shell and the number of pounds pressure maintained all go to determine this point. There are, however, simple rules governing the heating capacity of boilers. This is determined by the heat- ing surface of the boiler, the grate sur- face and the kind of fuel used. The heating surface in a boiler is that por- tion of the boiler which is exposed to the direct action of the fire or the heat- ed gases. In practice one square foot of grate surface is allowed for forty feet of heating surface in the boiler when hard coal is used, and one foot of grate surface to eighty feet of heating surface when soft coal is used. One foot of heating surface in a boiler will supply heat for about eight feet of radi- ation," and one foot of radiation will sup- ply heat for three to nine square feet of glass, depending upon the conditions it is desired to maintain. If you have a specific problem send it in; we may be able to assist vou in solving it. ' L. C. C. HOT WATER HEAT. I have a house even span 30x200 fcst, nine feet to ridge, three feet of glass on the sides. I wish to heat it with _ hot water to maintain 50 degrees when it is 20 below zero outside. With a 3-inch flow how many 2-inch returns will be required. P- F. The house under discussion, using hot water at ISO degrees, will require 1,700 square feet of radiating surface to main- tain a temperature of .50 degrees during cold weather. That means 2,720 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe, or fourteen returns the length of the house. A 3-inch riser is not large enough to care for this amount of radiation. A 3-ineh pipe is capable of supplying only about 90' i square feet of racliation. A 4-inch riser will, therefore, be necessary to carry the fourteen runs of 2-ineh pipe needed in this house. This presupposes that the boiler bas sutlicient heating surface to supply the house with water at 180 de- grees. JIJ- C- C. GERANIUMS and MISCELLANEOUS STOCK. From 2%-va, pots. Good Stock.

OP SPECIAL INTEREST TO CARNATION GROWERS WHO HAVE LARGE FIELDS OF PLANTS SUFFERING IN SUMMER DROUGHT. Under this system we get results that cannot be had under any other method. In the first place we apply the water as uniformly as rain. Secondly, the water is applied so slowly there is no crusting or baking of the soil, and the soil is always loose and porous. This is the reason everything grows so much stronger when watered by our system. Third, we are able to water the whole length of the row at one operation, so that there is no hindrance to cultivation Fourth, where city water or our gasoline pump is used, there is no time lost in watering ; all you have to do is to open the valve and the water is put just where it is wanted. There are many other advantages which we cannot name here but will be glad to explain to anyone interested. We shall be pleased to send our illustrated circular to all interested and will quote special prices to introduce. Address for further information C. W.

Because some of the largest green- house establishments north of Chicago are not insured in the Florists ' Hail As- sociation it has been argued that the protection is too expensive, but such is not the case. Particularly to the man with a moderate-sized place, possibly representing all his resources, insurance is cheap. For example, a man who has 10,000 feet of glass would pay a meraoer- ship fee of $6 on joining the associa- tion. If his glass is single thick he will pay $8 a year for assessments, if double thick only $6. If he suffers a loss by haU, he gets 5 cents per square foot of single thick glass broken, or 7 cents per square foot for double thick. The as- sociation is purely for mutual benefit, so that the expenses are light, the six- teen years' experience showing that in- surance has cost the association 64 cents per 1,000 feet of double and 48 cents per 1,000 feet of single thick glass. The result is a veiy comfortable reserve fund. \fB.t NOT Bpy RED POTS OF US? STANDARD SIZE. Quality— No Better. Carefully Packed in Small Crates. Easy to Handle. Price List Free. Syracuse Pottery Go.

When the thermometei" stood at 30 below zero this morning I could hold the temperature at 60 very easily with a saving of at least 25 per cent of coal. It is "Without a doubt the finest hot water boiler in the land, as it will heat about double the amount of glass that other boilers do with the same amount of coal. It has proved so satis- factory that I must express my feelings. B. F. Vaxdeuvate. Chicago, Dec. i, 1903. Kroescheli. Bros. Co. :— The two No. i boil- ers you installed in my greenhouses at Hart- land, Wis., did very satisfactory work last winter. I had been using- cast iron boilers pre- viously, but threw them out to put in your steel bollera. Your boilers have done better than I had expected; they require less coal, and luueh less attention than did the cast iron boilers. I estimate the saving In coal with your boilers was about 15 per cent. To anyone desiring- a perfect greenhouse boiler, I would certainly recommenii yours. James A. Kikk. Philadelphia, Feb. 27, 1903.

Your issue of last week so fully cov- ers every feature of the late convention, Mr. Editor, that perhaps little of im- portance can be added. Yet the writer was so pleased with every phase of it that he would like to comment on a few impressions. President Eackham told the writer that he (W. S.) always saw that the last exhibition far surpassed all pre- vious ones. Perhaps I have had good reasons to say this on previous occa- sions, but never with more sinccritv truth than at Detroit. Think of the evolution, both in quantity and quality of the blooms displayed, since the first exhibition held in Buffalo some four- teen years ago! This marvelous prog- ress has not been made in one or two leaps; it has been steady progress and if you will compare the display at De- troit with the first held by the society, you must admit that there has been ample room for each succeeding display to have eclipsed its immediate and all other preceding exhibitions. But it was not alone of the beautiful display of carnations that we shall all have the most pleasant recollections of the Detroit convention, or yet of the right good fellowship and splendid hos- pitality shown us; it was of the business proceedings as well; of the executive port of the judges. This is a new rec- ord and is to be attributed to a greatly improved method of judging as well as a great reform in entering and ticketing exhibits. Where so many grand varieties are shown, it is indeed difficult to say what we shall grow. Fortunate is the man who can try many of them. One thing is sure, if you cannot give the very newest a trial you can strive to grow your very best, varieties that were sent out last year and two and three years ago, for there were magnificent samples of some that are beginning to be called old varieties. I will not pretend to mention all, or half, the varieties staged, but only those that mostly impressed me, and in doing that many beautiful varieties are missed. Fiancee deservedly took the Lawson gold medal. If I were inclined to slang, I should say ' ' She 's a bute. ' ' Indian- apolis is a graml bright pink and showed up well, with a splendid stem. Judge Hinsdale is a splendid white variegated, great form and stem. Lady Bountiful is a beautiful white and so Alba proves itself to be wdieu rightly grown. Ethel Ward is a most beautiful shade of pink and bound to be a favorite. The Car- .:linal took the first prize for 100 scarlet; it's a wonder. The President we think far surpasses all previous efforts of Mr. Fred Burki, shown by John Murohie, is a most beautiful white. The red sport of Lawson, shown by W. J. Palm- er, was much thought of and demon- strated its fine keeping qualities. W. J. & M. S. Vesey staged a fine pink. There were others. Now, if you will look at the premium winners, you will notice some compara- tively old as well as newer varieties carrying oif the honors. Enchantress is alone in its class. Adonis when well grown is yet the grandest scarlet. Law- son, Estelle, Wolcott, old White Cloud, Morning Glory, Cressbrook, Mrs. Nel- son, Marshall Field, Gov. Lowndes, Stella and, of course. Prosperity, all showed up in fine style, which only goes to show that if a variety does well with you it is foolish to discard it. What some may fail with others can do finely. That vase of Chatenay roses was a beauty and if we can grow it as Peter Eeinberg does it's a great acquisition. La Detroit had the place of honor, and fine as this rose looked the first day it was far more beautiful the second and when that armful almost smothered Mrs. Vesey at the banquet, the rose had a beautiful setting and there was a mut- ual enhancement of charms. Frank Holznagle's vase of Bride and Brides- inaid roses were of the very highest quality. J. A. Peterson 's large-flowered type of Gloire de Lorraine is certainly a fine thing and his Primula obconica were splendid plants. The sweet pea.s shown by William Sim, all the way from Mas- sachusetts, were phenomenal, and the new single violet raised and shown by H. E. Carlton is a beautiful deep blue. And now I must close on exhibits, or. Adonis — E G. HIU Co Mrs. Patten.— Tbompson Co. Lawson.— Basaett & Washburn. Harlowarden.— C. C. Co.

We knew well it would be so. In spite of delayed trains from sev- eral directions, all exhibits were ready at the appointed hour and the judges could go to work, and they did, and the same evening the secretary was able to give the convention a complete re- Ward in the line of crimsons. It is a perfect flower. That grand crimson, Harlowarden, we have apea in better form. We know from experience that it's a splendid crimson and easy to grow.

That address of welcome by Mayor Maybury was truly a peach of the large, juicy Crawford variety and every sen- tence of it should have been published. There were allusions to the influence of flowers and our association with them in our calling that were touching and beautiful and should make us all proud 756 The Weekly Florists* Review. March 10, 1904. to be horticulturists. That eloquenee was not easy to respond to and the one chosen to respond suffered sadly in com- parison. Brother Rudd's essay on "The Man- agement of Flower Shows" covered the whole ground from A to Z and as he is a past master as a manager, it was greatly enjoyed and wdll be many times referred to for assistance by men un- dertaking such duties. We never knew this classical gentleman from Chicago in better voice or more graceful in his delivery. Little discussion ensued be- cause it could not be criticised, except by John P. Sullivan, who in commending Mr. Eudd's paper very smartly gave a .iar to some exhibitors who had every chance to stage their flowers on time, but through indolence and carelessness did not, and caused needless anxiety and hard work to the manager. The essay by William Scott was rather radical and socialistic in its propositions and brought down on his bald head a good deal of abuse from the leading lights of the society. It gave rise to lots of debate and the criticisms and ridicule that were heaped on him were greatly enjoyed by himself and his fear- less champion, Mr. Altick. I would rather be right than be Carrie Nation. The meetings were well attended. They were snappy, lively and interest- ing and G-eorge A. Eackliam has not only been an ideal president from the day he was elected, but he is a clean- cut, decisive chairman. Of course you all realize that in elect- ing James Hartshorn e as president you did exactly the right thing. His elec- tion was a foregone conclusion, because he deserved the honor. He has been a loyal supporter of the society, always a large exhibitor and I am glad to say at Detroit a very large prize winner. The banquet on Thursday evening was enjoyed immensely by everyone who had the good fortune to be present and 1 am truly sorry for the few who thought they must leave for home, or some- where else, before the hour for the de- lightful function. Like my notes on the carnations, I don't assume to speak of all who added to the pleasure of the evening, for they were many. Who cares much for the menu? If they do, the most delicious viands were there. But pork and beans is a banquet if you are hungry. It was "the feast of rea- son and flow of soul" that we were hungry for, and a feast we got in both these attributes of man and woman that distinguish us chiefly from the lower animals. The instrument,!! music was delightful and the high-toned vaudeville that was sandwiched in between speakers was greatly enjoyed. That wonderful bari- tone that stood right behind the writer when singing, actually made the few gray liairs -left stand up S't.rajght. The musical events that were the surprise and pleasure to me of the whole evening, were the two selections from the ' ' Bo- hemian Girl" by Walter Mott, of Jamestown, N. Y. We can remember when Walter's performance was good enough for an English ' ' free and easy. ' ' Now he will do for grand opera, sucli will study and practice do. The only number I did not enjoy was the robust blonde in the coon songs. Lets have sweet woman as feminine as possible, or what she should be, and let the .coarser sex portray tlie lower civilization. I can single out none of the speakers above another, for they were all good. E. G. Hill never was in better form and is more and more becoming a Inimorist. The w'brd picture of the spotted cow fitting- on the thistle bush and singing like a bird and talking like E. G. H. was very realistic. W. S. told about oily rubber trees and otheTi things. Mr. Altick gave us an earnest talk on the McKinley league. He deserves the great- _ est credit for the hard work he is shoul- dering in this patriotic cause. Mr. Ulrieh, of Tiffin, Ohio, who is blessed with a splendid voice, talked on the benefits of our society and its meet- ings under the head of "Did It Ever Occur to You, ' ' and it was very evident that many fine thoughts had occurred to him. A most beautiful address was that by Dr. Smith, an honorary member of the Detroit Florists' Club. He began with the scientific and chemical and physical benefits of plant culture and finished with the spiritual and moral blessing of flowers as he had seen their effects on the bereaved, the sick and even on the convict. His talk was in- deed a treat. Then there c^me sturdy John F. Sul- livan, who loudly and ably proclaimed the blessings of florists' clubs and what they had done for Detroit. Very grace- fully did the president of the S. A. F., Phil. Breitmeyer, thank all of us for be- ing present and asked for a good attend- ance and support at St. Louis. Then Alex. Wallace sang one of his good Scotch songs. Then to thie delight and surprise of manj-, we listened to a wittv, clever, modest talk by Mrfe Judge Ve- sey, of Fort Wayne. No wonder the judge— well, he is a lucky man. Then Mr. Thompson presented a beautiful cuii to Mr. Partridge, who feelingly thanked him and the society. T'he chairman then presented the president-elect, Harts- horne, the magnificent Lawson Gold Medal and after some remarks, which surely came from his helart, he most graciously handed the beautiful medal to Fred Dorner, .Tr., for it was that gen- tlemen's firm which raised the lovely Fiancee. Mr. Eackham made a fine ad- dress on the carnations of the past, and the last, but not least by a jugful, we were kept in roars of laughter by a ten- minute yarn from the wit of the society, ;\Ir. Peirce, of Waltham, Mass. More of this great old man hereafter. Mr. Flowerday, as toastmaster of the evening, was ideal in his position, and here endeth my notes of a convention that has never been surpassed in exhibi- tion, in business and in pleasure in the history of our good society. William Scott. W. K. Partridge's Vase of Carnation Enchantress. (Tlie oiil.v v:ise In llie show which touU two first pi-BniluniH.) NOTES ON VARIETIES. You hare had in last week's issue a complete report of the awards at the Detroit convention, and so I will merely give you a few notes on the impressions gained while looking over the exhibition during the two days. In the first place T want to say that Mr. Sullivan made a good exhibition manager, as good as we have ever had and better than most. The arrangement was good and everything was so well planned that no confusion was possible. All the vases competing in the same class were set together and the judges had no trouble in finding all the entries in each class. This idea should be adopted at all the exhibitions in the future. So well was everything planned that by the time specified in the premium list every exhibit was in place, something very unusual. The average quality of the blooms was \ery high indeed. There were very few that would not have stood a good show for first money at most exhibitions and Makch 10. 1(1(14. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 757 General View of the Exhibition of the American Carnation Society, Detroit, March 2 and 3. many a rase that was almost good enougli •for a first premium had to drop back into the ' ' also ran ' ' class. Competition was very keen and in many classes the .judges had a haT<\ job to decide. I was told b.v one of the .judges that it took them full.y fifteen minutes to decide be- twefn two vases of fifty blooms and even then there was room for doubt. There never was more universal satisfaction with the judges' report than this year, which speaks well for their ability. Jlost of the blooms came through in good shape and were in good condition when staged, due to the moderate weath- er and arrival on schedule time. Over- feeding was very apparent in the exhibits of several firms and several learned a les- son at a high cost. One firm had sev- eral thousand blooms, most of which were asleep within three hours after unpack- ing. No other reason than overfeeding could be given, as blooms which came from the same locality and others shipped much farther held up until the very last. This has suggested to my mind that there ought to be some arrangement whereby the vases that show, up best by noon of the second day should receive some kind of premium. The keeping quality of the carnation is one of its good points and a little more attention should be paid to it. One of the surprises was the fine show- ing made by Adonis. Judging by the reports of its behavior the past winter no one expected it to make more than just an average showing, but it was almost the only variety shown in the scarlet classes and it carried away nearly all the premiums. The vase of 200 shown by the E. G. Hill Co. easily carried away that premium, although those blooms were the ones left after the flowers for the fift.v and 300 classes had been se- lected. Mrs. Lawson showed that it is still to be reckoned with when a deep pink is wanted and it is grown properly. It was the only variety shown in that class ex- ce])t Dorncr's Eclips?, which took the sec- ond premium, and Thompson's Nelson Fisher. Enchantress was shown in all stages, good, bad and indifferent. This variety sliowed more than any other the effects of overfeeding. One firm had hundreds of blooms and all went to sleep within a few hours, while on the other hand the 100 blooms staged by W. K. Partridge lield up fine to the close of the show. Harlowarden was it in the crimson classes, while Dorothy Whitney had her own way in the yellow classes. These facts certainly prove one tiling and that is that the carnation is being greatly im- proved. Almost without exception the premiums were capturetl by varieties of very recent introduction and many of them are. not on the market .yet. Most of the varieties being dissemi- nated this year were shown in fine shape and if any of them failed to win in their class it was not because the blooms were not fine, but simply because another lot of blooms was still finer. In white Lad.y Bountiful and The Bell? from Dorner's were grand. F. Burki, from J. Murehie, looks like a good thing. Mr. May's ex- hibit would have been helped by another (lav on the plants. All these were way ahead of the other whites, except Alba, from the C. C. Co., which took first prize. In pink Ethel Ward looked well and captured first in its class. Our own In- dianapolis was not entered for competi- tion, but it won many friends by its fine color and keeping qualities. Nelson Fish- er was too soft and went to sleep. In red we expected to see Flamingo sweep the boards but not a bloom was seen at the show. Crusader was fine. In varie- gated Mrs. Patten was very fine and so was Judge Hinsdale. Ward 's crimson. The President, has the best color and form of all the crimsons up to date. F. R. Pierson 's Daheim was asleep when it arrived. H. Weber & Sons' New' Bav- break showed up very fine and should make a good variety. There were a good many seedlings shown and among them were some grand things. Some competed for premiums and won out over the standard varieties. Fiancee easily distanced all others. Cardi- nal was shown in tine shape and took first in 100 scarlet. We would like to have seen this and Flamingo side by side. Richmond Gem won a certificate with its fine color. This should prove a good bread-winner. J. E. Haines is a "fine large scarlet, which I want to see more of. Dailledouze Bros. ' No. 14-t is cer- tainly a grand thing. They were the largest blooms in the hall and attracted a great deal of attention. No. lOOOA, by Witterstaetter, is also a fine thing^ so fine that the judges could not decide which was the better, this or Daille- douzes' white. Mrs. Vesey brought a variegated seedling that was grand, ex- cejit that it lacked a little in the stem. Red Lawson was shown by Palmer & Son and it looked nice by night, a trifle dull by daylight. Eclipse, a pink shown by Dorner, is a very fine thing; it took second in the 100 Lawson shade. PhyUis came in poor shape and was not scored. After seeing it in fine shape last fall, I did not recognize it at all. There were many others of more or less promise, but the above looked the best to me. On Frida.y a number of us went to F. Holznagle 's, one of the neatest places I have ever seen. The stock is all in fine shape, as is proven by the fine vase of roses he brought to the show. There is a house of Lawson that is fine and an- other house of mixed varieties, all fine. On the wa.v home Mrs. B. and myself stopped oif at Lafayette, where Lady Bountiful and The Belle reside. Both are enjoying the best of health and pros- peritv. and it was a delight to look over several benches of each. The set of nov- elties thev are seufling out is certainlv very attractive anel just the thing for 758 TheWeekiy Florists' Review^ MiECH 10, 1904. the retailer. Of stedlings there aro thousands and of course some very fine ones. Of Kclip.se there is a whole bench and if it keeps up it is to go out next year, I understand. A. F. J. Bavk. CONVENTION JOTTINGS. The trip to Mt. Clemens was one of the pleasautest features of the conven- tion. The Breitmeyer 's Sons provided a special train for tiie party, which num- bered about 200. Carriages were at the station to take the ladies to the green- houses, and it was only a pleasant walk for the men, sharpening appetites for the buffet lunch which was ready, in- cluding the famous Breitmeyer home- made wine. After the refreshments had been partaken of the party broke up into squads for a tour of the green- houses. Everything was in tine shape but of course the principal interest was in the new rose, La Detroit. The condi- tion of the stock plants and of the young stock shortly to be distributed was fa- vorably commented on. Practically every grower who visited Detroit will try the rose next year. On the end greenhouse was a line of C. W. Skinner 's pipe for field irrigation. Mr. Skinner was on hand to. show it working and all the growers were much interested. Eeturn- ing to the city, the party was in season for the afternoon trains. President Breitmeyer and the S. A. F. executive committee going to St. Louis and most of the others to their homes. Among the seedlings of more or less distinctiveness and merit staged at De- troit of which there was no mention in the judge's report, were the following: A good yellow. No. 14, from H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md. ; No. 12, a good white from Frank Holznagle, Detroit; J. E. Smith, a red, from Baur & Smith, Indianapolis; a fine white in which was a card of F. B. Stroup, New Philadel- phia, Pa.; four varieties from John Hart jc, Indianapolis ; the good ' yellow, Star of Bethlehem and others by J. E. Haines, which had a rough journey; Hel- en Bosler, a promising yellow variegat- ed from Geo. Guignet, Carlisle, Pa. ; Glendale and Gen. Wayne, from W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort M'ayne, Ind. As once was said, "fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Certainly there was some surprise at the way the sparks flew when one or two venturesome or, more likely, thoughtless ones crossed sworJs with E. N. Peirce, of Waltham. "Farmer" Peirce (pronounced Purse), they call him down Waltham way. In many respects he is the typical Yankee, and a keener wit has not enlivened a convention in many a da^'. ' ' I am not a speech-maker, ' ' was his usual way of concluding his remarks. "I know what I wanted to say; I don't know whether I 've said it or not. ' ' Opinion was usual- ly unanimous that he had. On the train from Detroit to Mt. Clem- ens last Friday morning C. W. Ward announced that he had sold a half in- terest in his unnamed brilliant vermil- ion scarlet, No. 303, to the J. D. Thomp- son Carnation Co. for $10,000. It will be distributed jointly in 1906 and it is stated that in the meantime no plants will be sent out for trial. It is from Lawson crossed with a pedigreed scarlet from a line of Maceo seedlings. It has the Lawson habit, the flower a little larger than that • variety. It scored 92 F ^ ^ K^^Si 'W^ ■■ I^^^^Hi «i^l iMM ^^^^1 1 ^^^^ ■^■' C.irii.ii,,,.

The Thompson Carnation Co. brought about 4,000 blooms to the exhibition. They were in fine shape when unpacked but many varieties went to sleep before they could be staged and others before judging. Mr. Thompson asks that at- tention be called to the hard luck whicli overtook his stock in explanation of his failing to take any first premiums. Rudd's Phyllis also went t,Q sleep, and it has a reputation as a keeper. The grower says it waa because -it recently got too heavy a dose of wood ashes. C. W. Ward is much interested in Carnation Glacier. It originated on his place but did not do well and was only sent out because Arthur Herrington urged it, after trying it at Florham Farms. It has done finely in Canada and in several other sections and is now work- ing its way back into the neighborhood from which it was disseminated. There was a fine bench of it at Breitmeyer 's and several growers decided on the spot to drop a bench of Flora Hill and put in Glacier for another trial. The Detroit Florists' Club did itself proud at the banquet Thursday evening. It was a fitting finale for a most effi- ciently managed convention. Messrs. Kackham, Flowerday and Sullivan, as leaders in the work, have every reason to feel satisfied with success which crowned their efforts, and they were well backed up by their club members, every one of whom put a shoulder to the wheel. Many comments were made on the sleepiness of the stock, some contending that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the hall. Fred Dorner said he laid the sleepiness to the long continued cold weather which has made ventilation both difficult and expensive all winter. Others pointed out that it was the fiowers of those notorious for high feeding which were sleepiest. E. G. Hill prefaced his toast at the banquet with the statement that it is not on record that a gardener ever made a speech. Twenty minutes later it was the unanimous opinion that now, at least, a gardener had made a speech of which any orator might be proud. It was the gem of the evening. The statement that J. A. Valentine, E. G. Hill and Eugene DaiUedouze were appointed a committee on "affiliation" with the Rose Society hardly covers the ground. The idea is to get the Rose So- ciety to hold its meeting and exhibition at Chicago on the same dates as the carnation meeting. Wm. Swayne, of Kennett Square, says that as soon as he began to use young, soft cuttings he had no trouble rooting Adonis. C. W. Ward and E. G. Hill lioth agreed with this and said they had not lost one per cent of their Adonis cuttings this year. W. j. Smyth, the well known Chicago retailer, put up the prize winning vase of 200 Adonis for E. G. HUl. It was a credit to his skill and there are those who said it simplified the work of the judges. Fiancee is a great keeper. Mr. Hart- shorne says that he began picking blooms February 15 to 20 for his exhibit that won the gold medal March 2. Kancee has no pollen. Many were the admirers of a bench of the old rosejMme. Hosts, found at Breit- meyer's. Phil Breitmeyer says that it has been about the most profitable bench on the place this season. The show was proof of a general im- Makcii 10. Uin-1. The Weekly Florists' Review 759 provement in cultural methods. Every section now has its grower who has adopt- ed the most enlightened methods and others are following his leadership. Lady Bountiful was pretty close to the best vase in the class for 100 white and it is noteworthy that the Dorners were the raisers of Alba, the winning variety. It is stated that F. Dorner & Sons Co. had sold to February 1 more cuttings of Lady Bountiful than the total sales of any other carnation the firm ever sent out. Grandpa Hill is proud of the way Adonis is vindicating his judgment, but he talks more about that nine-months- old son of Flora Hill Lemon. It was a graceful act of James Harts- home to present the Lawson gold medal to Fred Dorner as the raiser of Fiancee. C. L. Washburn liked the looks of John Murchie's new white, named for Fred Burki. MRS. LAWSON. It is nearly time for planting out- doors. Please answer through your col- umns a few things about carnations. Do you think it advisable to grow Lawson entirely in the house or would it be bet- ter to let it go to the field for four months? In transplanting, which is best, to take the pot dirt from the roots or leave the ball on them? Last year our soils all got very hard. It was all we could do to keep them from baking. However, it was an unusuallv bad spring. T. N. C. Most of the successful growers of Law- son grow their plants of this variety in- doors through the summer, and I think I can safely say that none of them leave it in the field as long as four months. If grown in the field during the summer it must be housed extra early if you ex- pect to get a decent stem by Christmas, and even with early housing the stem will be shorter than when grown inside. Lawson is one of the varieties that does not like a check of any kind, and espe- cially when the weather is hot. That" is what causes the stems to come so short if the growth is checked after the plant has gotten into a vigorous growth and the later in the growing season that this check occurs the less chance the plant has to regain its former vigor. When housed very early the plants become es- tablished and started into a vigorous growth before winter, and the crop from a vigorous growing plant surely must be better than the crop from a plant that is just trying to get established. When lifting plants from the field we nearly always try to hold a ball of soil on the roots as large as your fist, and we do not care whether all or only one- third of this ball was brought out of the greenhouse. That soil is not so much for the plants to feed on as it is to save the rooti? from being broken and to sup- ply them with moisture while they are being transferred to their new quarters. In short, it is supposed to prevent a com- plete cessation in the growth of the plani while it is being planted into its new quarters. As soon as the roots take hold of the new soil they spread out in «very direction, and come up to the sur- face or wherever they can find food, and it will make very little difference to the plants whether the soil right at the base of the plant is new soil or old, as the Carnation Fiancee. (Vase which won the Lawson Gold Medal at Detroit.) real feeding roots are those farthest away from the plant. Those that will be in the soil you brought in are the an- chors that hold the plant in its upright position. A. F. J. BaUR. ROSES. The Easter Crop. As Easter draws near we will be get- ting anxious as to whether our crops of Beauties and other roses will be on time, as a few days too late with this harvest means a good deal financially to the grower. Many are the schemes adopted to has- ten crops which at this season show a tardiness in forming buds. Beauties par- ticularly require a great deal of thought- fulness and care to prepare them to come to time. Where these are showing a tendency to run to wood rather than to form buds it may be well to run them rather on the dry side for a week, but never so dry that the soft tips show signs of wilting. If this is allowed to take place the buds will come deformed and many of them little more than singles. Plenty of ventilation during sunny weather and judicious feeding with liquid manure has a tendency to hasten the formation of buds and to perfect their development. To the ordinary liquid food an addition of liquor of am- monia can be made at this season with advantage, but this must be used with caution, as it is very strong and fre-. quently varies considerably in strength. One ounce to four gallons of water is a safe proportion. Nitrate of soda has also a very beneficial effect and is very rapid in its action. Bride, Bridesmaid and Ivory, not being such gross feeders as Beauties, should have these stimulants slightly reduced in strength. As the days are lengthening, with a longer duration of sunshine, an increase in temperature of 5 or 6 degrees during the night, when deemed necessary to push them along, will do considerably less damage than would be accompanied by a rise of 2 degrees before the Christ- mas holidays, as the possible admission of plenty of air will keep the foliage in tone. By allowing the temperature during bright weather to rise a few degrees above the normal for such days the buds will develop more rapidly without the slightest danger of injury to either foli- age or buds, provided there is plenty of ventilation and a sufficiency of moisture in the atmosphere. A careful inspection daily will determine the amount of heat necessary to bring them to perfection in time for the Easter market. If the crops show signs of developing too rapidly and require retarding, a gradual lowering of the temperature ac- companied by free ventilation will have the desired effect. This drop in tem- perature, if not carefully administered and well regulated, may be the means of introducing a dose of mildew which from now on, owing to less heat being used, will be the more difficult to get rid of and should therefore be carefully guard- ed against. By careful study and calculation, these crops can be brought closely up to time and shipped to our customers just in the right condition, which is more sat- isfactory than to have to ship soft, poor- ly developed blooms, or to have to re- sort to the pickling process. ElBES. 760 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Mauch 10. 1904. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Cannas. It will soon be time to start the can- nas. There is nothing like having good, strong plants. They need take up but little room on your benches until after Easter, when you will have plenty of room to pot them. Years ago we used to put the dormant roots of these and caladumis at once into 4 or 5-inch pots, oceup^ng much space, and they did not start :k quickly or surely as they do by a more modern "and better plan. Trusting that the clump of roots dug in the fall and stored beneath a bench have kept sound, divide them now. A piece of root with one good eye or bud is enough to make a fine plant, but sometimes two eyes can be left to advantage. If the root is found, in cutting it up, to be the least unsound, don't save it; its only waste of labor. In a light house where the temperature is 55 to 60 degrees at nipht and on a bench preferably with heating pipes be- neath it, spread an inch of sphagnum moss, or coeoanut fiber will do just as well. Then place your canna roots. They can be set quite" closely together, for they are only to remain there three or four weeks, "or until they make a start to grow and a few roots. Shake over them a little sphagnum or the fiber, just about enough to hide the roots. ^ Keep the moss just moist only, and in two or three weeks all the sound pieces will have sent out roots, a growth will have started and then they will need potting in a 4 or 5-inch pot, or whatever size you want to sell them from. We try to grow them all in 4-ineh pots, but some of the coarser growing varieties may be better if given a 5-inch. "With this start of root growth they have made in the moss, they wUl continue to grow without a halt when potted, and any that do not start in the moss you have wasted little labor or space over. Too often we see cannas grown in the month of May in a shaded house. They never should have shade at any time. A bright, warm, sunny house is the place for them, and, even tropical plant as they are, I would rather have them without fire heat in the month of May, than have them under a heavy shade. Caladiums. The Caladium esculentum is another of of our sub-tropieal garden plants that can soon be started. Don't buy large bulbs. One from two to three inches in diameter is large enough to make the finest growth and leaves. Put an inch of rotted manure in the bottom of a bulb flat and place the caladiums on it, about two inches apart, and then fill in between bulbs with sand. If you can place the flats over some bottom heat, so much the better. You can always find a place a foot or so above a coil of steam or hot water pipes. Light is not wanted when starting them, but heat and moist- ure are, and almost at once will an abundance of roots be made. Two weeks of this treatment will put the caladiums farther ahead than six weeks in a 5-inch pot on a cool beui/li. and you have saved a lot of bench room. They will, of course, need potting in tliree or four weeks. I don 't think tliere is any fear of these sub-tropieal ~ plants, particularly the canna, losing any of their popularity. Ever since the advent of the beautiful Crozy varieties, known as the flowering cannas, to distinguish them from the old varieties, which were grown entirely for the beauty of the foliage, their flowers being unattractive, there have yearly been given to us some beautiful varie- ties. Yet as in all our florists' flowers, a few old varieties are still favorites. We now have almost all shades of color ex- cept blue, and some that do not exceed two feet in height, like that brilliant scarlet. The Express, to Kate Gray tow- ering eight feet high. Tuberoses. We do not have much use for tuberoses nowadays, although the prejudice against them, which has existed for some years, is slowly wearing away. We are always wanting them to sell for our customers' gardens. They, also, can be started in the same way as described for caladiums, in flats of two or three inches of sand or sand and leaf mold, only don't put the bulb more than half its depth in the compost. Place them deeper in the soil when you put them in the 4-inch pots. They will quickly start to make roots in the flats if given a little bottom heat, and once more you will save bench room. If for flowering in the greenhouse you can start some at once. If you only waut them as a flower garden plant, April 1 is soon enough, because after removing from the flats and potting them, there is no place that suits them better or produces more sturdy plants than a mild hotbed. Asters. The middle of this month will be time for a large sowing of asters, which of lato years have taken rank among the leading summer and fall florists' flow- ers. I am not going to say which va- riety or type to grow. If your business warrants it, you need to gi'ow the early Queen of the Market, to be followed by the Comet and Truffaut's Paeouy Flow- ered, and later still come the large- flowered, branching varieties that have been so greatly developed the past ten years. Don't think I mean that these varieties should be sown at difl'erent times. You may want a successional crop of any of them, but remember that if Boston or Queen of the Market aud Sem- ple 's Branching were sown the same day the Queen of the Market would be cut and gone six weeks before Semple's showed the color of its petals. Time was within the memory of many of us when it was thought impossible to get a good strain of aster seed unless it was imported in sealed packets from ■ continental Europe at a most tony price. That time is pa.st and our climate and our aster specialists provide us with the best of seed. For that matter, we have in this neighborhood a young man who has the right land, and right industry, and who brings into the town the finest asters the writer ever saw in any land, Carnation Indianapolis.

AVe can all do it. It's merely a matter of selection. Yet I believe in division of labor, let the specialist sup- ply you with seed. Seed Sowing. It is a long time since I have given my little talk on sowing seeds, and I hesi- tate to do so now, for it is like repeat- ing an old story to the same old audi- ence. But a few strangers have joined the audience, and so the old heads can look the other way. I always did and always will consider that raising jilants from seed (I allude particularly to our florists' flowers and plants) calls for the greatest skill, the greatest care and watchfulness of any of our florists' operations. We have any amount of young and old men calling themselves gardeners, who can stand up at the bench and pot or shift plants very proficiently, but few can be trust- ed to sow and care for the seeds of cineraria or begonia, or even asters and coarser seeds. Whatever soil may suit a plant in its future or maturer state, it is sure that a light or friable soil is what it needs to germinate in, for in nature a seed dropping from the parent plant or carried by the winds to a rest- ing place, would not bury itself in the soil, but would merely be covered, if covered at all. by the decayed leaves of the year before. So make the compost for your seed flats light, either with the addition of sifted rotten manure or leaf mold or, what is excellent, well de- cayed refuse hops. For asters and that kind of plants I pre- fer flats two inches in depth, putting one inch of coarse soil or manure in the bot- tom and filling up with an inch of the prepared, sifted compost, ilake the sur- face as level as you can and press down with a smooth board, slightly, firmly and evenly. Then place your flats or seed pans on the floor and with a fine sprink- ling rose water these flats till you think all the soil is moist. In ten minutes or so this watering will have soaked away and you can begin to sow. After the seed is sown another gentle pressure of the board imbeds the seed and you are ready for the covering of finely sifted soil. This last covering needs but the slightest wetting, which will not wash the seeds, as it would if you had to water sufficient to wet to a depth of two in- ches. Somebody once said that a good rule was to cover seed the depth of its own thickness. This would mean that be- gonia or calceolaria should not be cov- ered at all, which is about true. And the aster, phlox or seeds of that size should be just covered enough to hide them. Although we know there are many exceptions to this, a grain of wheat will force itself through soil forty times its thickness and an acorn will germinate in the forest with no covering. .lust cov- ered out of sight will do very well for nearly all our annuals except those mi- nute seeds that you dare not attempt to cover at all. A uniform moisture of the soil is the great essential until the seeds are well up through the soil, and after that full light, so that the little seedlings do not draw up spindling, is another. I meant to add earlier that we are all inclined to sow almost everything too thickly. Sow thinly. My chapter is now so long that I will ask permission to say some- thing about the care of seedlings and their transplanting in our next. William Scott. GREENFLY OR APHIS. I have noticed several complaints in your paper concerning the aphis or green- fly, which seems to give so much trouble to many florists and gardeners. We used to have great trouble with them, espe- cially on roses and sweet pea vines plant- ed outside. The plants being in the open air, we could not use tobacco smoke to advantage. We tried kerosene emulsion, but found that if we used it strong enough to kill the aphides the plants were burned by the solution. As some of our roses were rather small, we began ffeding them nitrate of soda, and in so doing discovered a sure rem- edy against greenfly or aphis. A few days after the first application of nitrate we noticed that the aphides had disap- peared. On looking over the plants we found the bodies of a few of them. The}' were of a light brown color and were all dead. We next tried the nitrate on the pea vines, and drove the pest from them also. The past year we had a bed of Helen Gould roses which became infested with greenfly ; we applied nitrate and in two weeks they had all disappeared. The remedy is much easier applied in green- houses than tobacco smoke. It does not discolor the flowers and is cheap. In explanation, the aphides seem to go only to those plants which are not grow- ing well or, in the case of roses, to those which have been attacked by black spot or mildew. The aphis will not suck the sap of a healthy plant. Nitrate of soda furnishes nitrogen in a quickly available form, the results from its use being seen in twenty-four hours. It purifies the sap of the plant and starts it into vigorous growth. Its presence in the sap seems to be poison to the aphides. We use one tablespoonful to a twelve quart pail of water, giving the plants a thorough watering. A second application should be given in about two weeks if necessary. Rose growers especially should try this remedy and see for them- selves. " Eay H. Palmer. MOSS EVERYWHERE. AVould you please let me know through your valuable' paper the reason why all the pots and the soil in them in my greenhouses are covered with a thick layer of moss. W. G. It is almost impossible in a few months for a thick layer of moss to grow on either soil or pots, and a few months is as long as the majority of our green- house plants occupy the same pot. We have seen azaleas and camellias and other so-called hard-wooded plants oc- cupying the same pot for years become moss grown on the surface of the soil, and the pots green with another species of ' ' moss. ' ' The word moss covers a multitude of humble plants, perhaps thousands of species. The old oaken bucket that hangs in the well, the poet tells us, was covered with moss but there is no authentic in- formation as to whether that dear old vessel that elevated this temperance drink was enshrouded with sphagnum, Iceland moss or Selaginella denticulata. Want of drainage is one of the prin- cipal causes of moss growing either on the soil of greenhouse plants or in pas- tures outside. If sod taken from a low, undrained piece of groimd is used for any of our indoor crops, moss will be sure to appear. The damp exterior sur- face of our common flower pots is an excellent medium for the ever present spores of these low plant organisms to vegetate and the surface of the soil in a poorly drained plant constantly moist is another. Briefly, I would say want of 762 The Weekly Floristf^' Review. >Uech 10, 190-4. proper ventilation and an unhealthy dampness is the main cause of moss on soil and pots and free circulation with a healthy atmosphere the best preventive. W. S. ROSE STOCKS. Can roses for greenhouse culture be grafted on hardy northern-grown wild roses and give the same result as grafted on Manetti stock? We have unlimited quantities of the former here and can use first-class stock. A. N. This is a question that could be an- swered by simply saying to A. N., try some stock of your native roses and you will soon find out whether it is practical and would pay. In western Xew York our wild roses are not found in such quantities that it would begin to pay. There is no doubt that if you had stocks of your native rose in the right size and condition that a successful graft could be made. But could you make cuttings and get them to the right size and condi- tion or dig up small plants of your rose at anything like the price at which you can buy the Manetti stocks? I don't be- lieve you could. In Europe there used to be a method and perhaps is still, of grafting the hy- brid perpetual roses on pieces of root of the wild briar. It was done in mid- winter. When the graft was made they were stored away in some cool place, such as a cold frame or cool house, and plant- ed in the open ground in April. This, CANNAS. As we grow more cannas for general bedding than any other plant, we have made several experiments, especially with the Tarrytown canna, which is the finest canna for color, amount of bloom and dwarf habit we have ever tried. This canna should be started at least two weeks before other varieties. Kow is a good time to start them, as it takes long- er to root this variety than any canna we have had in the bench with it. Also a little longer to recuperate after being potted. We find the sand or propagating bench a better place to root these tubers than in flats under the bench. They can be given better attention in less time and make stronger plants and give better re- sults than those long-drawn, often for- gotten cannas you frequently see under the bench. As it does not take a great amount of room in the sand they can be closely packed together, leaving a space of one to two inches between rows, with the eyes just above the surface of the sand. One-eyed tubers are the best, with not too large or small amount of tuber; two inches long is about right. Of course this sometimes depends a great deal on the size of tubers and variety. Some cannas produce very large tubers, with eyes far apart, while others are small and the eyes close together, and of course would have to be cut smaller anyway, so they can be nicely potted in 4-inch pots. That size pot is plenty large enough. Bride and Bridesmaid Maxima Supetba. (Exhibit of Frank Holznaslf^ at tl»t= Detroit Couventloo.) however, is foreign to the subject. If A. N. is familiar with the operation of grafting our greenhouse roses on the Manetti stock, as is now so largely prac- ticed by all the leading growers, I would say by all means give the native rose a trial for this purpose. W. S. Ttkell, Tex. — ^E. H. B. Green has built a range of greenhouses 100x150 on the very fine place he is equipping here. We used for potting last year's rose soU with about one-fifth well-rotted cow manure with a little sprinkling of lime. We ran this through a half-inch mesh sieve, then through a quarter-inch mesh. The coarse soU that remains in the last mesh we used for drainage, which gen- erally contains little lumps of manure, soil, etc., which will give better drainage than pieces of broken pots, also it helps to stimulate the roots. Cannas like a great amount of water, but the soil must not become sour or soggy; therefore they require plenty of drainage. We fill the pot a quarter full of this' and by the time you are ready to set out your plants you wiU find the roots perfectly matted around the drainage material. The best time to water cannas is late in the after- noon; give them a good watering and they will get more benefit than if wa- tered in the morning. The tubers should be potted as soon as the roots are about one inch long and will do better than if allowed to run in the sand until it takes, perhaps, a 6-ineh pot to hold them. Cannas should be pot-bound at least two weeks before set- ting out in the beds, so as to start new shoots. About that time we give them a good watering with liquid cow manure. All our common varieties of cannas can be started about March 15. Plants treated in this manner will make nice, thrifty plants by the middle of May, with from one to four nice shoots that will be nicely in bloom in June. Sixty degrees is about right for cannas. They like plenty of light if they can get it. but will do well with less. We grow our cannas in a north lean-to, running east and west, with only the sun on the east end in the morning and west end in the afternoon. We are not canna ex- perts, or am I writing this for old canna growers, but for those just beginning. If there are florists who have a better way to handle the plants we would be pleased to hear from them. Chas. B. Eodz. WORLD'S FAIR EXHIBITIONS.

Not so very main' 3'ears ago it was the practice to consign to the rubbish heap all the old plants thrown out when preparations were begun for replanting the rose houses. But lately it has been found that there is a profitable market for the Beauty plants and very many thousands are sold each spring for plant- ing in the garden. At first the sale was through the houses which have big mail trade, but soon the florists through the country were each buying a few hundred plants from some big grower and retail- ing them to their home trade. But it re- mained for that enterprising firm, the Heller Bros., of New Castle, to demon- strate the feasibility of going direct to the public with their offer of plants. This they did last year for the first time, expending several hundreds of dol- lars in advertising in magazines of large circulation. They asked what looked to the trade like a big price for the plants, but offered to prepay all stock to desti- nation. A good price was necessary to cover cost of advertising when, as in the Ladies ' Home Journal, space cost $84 an inch for one insertion; but that the results were satisfactory is shown by the fact that they are at it again this spring with some very attractive adver- tisements. CUTTING BENCH FUNGUS. Kindly give me some remedy for fun- gus in the cutting bed. It is almost im- possible for us to get new sand during the winter and we have had a great deal of trouble with fungus lately. Would sterilizing the sand answer the purpose, and how would you go about it, or what else would you recommend? L. 6. If fresh, clean sand cannot be had the next best move would be to get coke screenings from the nearest gas house. I have never known bench fungus to af- fect cuttings where this material was used as the propagating medium, but as a precaution it would be well to thor- oughly wash the bench and give it a coat of hot lime wash before filling. When the sand is so badly infected as this ap- pears to be, it is taking too much of a risk to use it again, even after being sterilized, the latent spores of such low forms of vegetable life being very diffi- cult to destroy. Eibes. THE READERS' CORNER. Fifiag and Other Notes. Ed. Eeview: — I am glad to see that you give night firemen space in your paper to express their views, as it gives the novice a chance to learn and ask questions. I quite agree with the fire- man who has nineteen houses and two boilers ; he does not need any odd jobs to keep him awake. I at present have two houses, one 20x50 feet, the other 20x30 feet, standing end to end. The partition has been taken out and they are operated as one house. There is an- other house 20x100, which we are not running yet. These houses stand east and west, contrary to local greenhouse etiquette. I suppose the builder, like the tailor, cut his garment according to his cloth. I have a small boiler, with fifty 2-inch flues, and a high brick smoke- stack. Firing is comparatively easy and I am glad of small jobs to pass away the time. Mme. Chatenay as Exhibited at Ddtroit by Peter Reinberg. One question I would like to have ex- plained by some of the craft is why a fire consumes more coal the first half of the night than the second half. Whether the temperature be cold or moderate out- side, I burn a third more coal from 7 p. m. to midnight than I do from mid- night to 7 a. m. I hold the temperature inside steadily at from 60 to 65 degrees. I would like to know what slack coal is costing in the States. Here in Outario, at present prices, a good sized coal pile is better than a small bank account. George Lloyd, who up to three years ago ran a general florist, and nursery business in Napanee, has had some ex- perience in starting up plants in mid- winter. Two 3'ears ago last December he thawed out two houses for Miss L. 0 'Sullivan, of West Superior, Wis., and brought them out successfully. On Jan- uary 2d he took charge of where I now fire. It was in a verv dilapidated con- dition, everything frozen up, over 200 panes of glass out and snow two feet eleep in some parts of the houses. He patched the glass, started the fires and proceeded to build benches and fill them. He has radishes, cucumbers and lettuce up and a stock of florist 's plants under way for spring. Sunshine is a vei'y scarce article here; too much zero wea- ther. E. E. NORVELL. Tuberous Begonias. Ed. Eeview:— I notice that G. F. H.. in your issue of February IS, asks for suggestions regarding suitable plants to grow in beds on the east side of a resi- dence shaded on the south by tal! trees, but getting the morning sun. The gor- geous tuberous begonia will distance all competition in such a situation, or on the north side of a house. It is a mag- nificent flower anel when once tried in such a location, where it will not get the hot sun between 11 a. m. and 4 p. m., will never be abandoned. The singles are the best bedders. I have grown them for the past seven summers on the Michigan Eeformatorv grounds, Avith prison labor without the aid of a florist, so I assume the\' are not dif- ficult to handle. For early flowering I start them uneler glass about April 1, or they may be planted in the open ground the first week in May amd will flower the mieldle of Jul.v. ^ Otis Fuller. Twinned Boilers. Ed. Eeview: — In answer to F. W. in Review of January 14, I would say avoid cheek valves; they are a delusion and a snare. I woulel suggest that you have the returns enter the boiler No. 1 onl}'. Have it come in half way up the diameter of the boiler; elo not enter at bottom. Place a good, tested valve in the return close to the boiler. Next mn a pipe from No. 1 to No. 2, placing a valve in it facing No. 2, tapping into each boiler half way up the side. Con- nect both boilers to the flow at the top, placing a valve on each boiler. To op- erate we fire No. 2 the hardest. When the water gets low in the gauge of No. 2 wo go to No. 1 and close the valve on the return' to prevent the water from backing out into the mains. Close the valve on the top of No. 1 to raise the steam pressure, open the valve connecting 764 The Weekly Florists' Review. March \i>. I'.kh.

Close the valve and open the flow and return valves on No. 1 it will immediately fill up from the return. It requires no more atten- tion than a steam trap does. .1. J. 1'- A CASE FOR THE COURTS. Ed. Review:— I herewith send you several pieces of glass, also some branches of roses. The glass is of a house 22x100 feet. The center bed is ten feet wide and there are two side benches, three feet each. The house runs east and west and has the sun from morning till night. The south bench does not shade the bed of Brides and Bridesmaids, as the bed is eighteen inches high. It contains 350 roses two vears old next June, and 160 one year old in June. Last fall we were getting a good cut of roses daily. In the house described I have Brides and Bridesmaids for four years, the sani plants in solid beds and they always did fine. I remember one winter the plants, three years old then, made a won- derful growth of three and four shoots to the plant from the roots, some as thick as mv thumb. They had a night temperature of 56 to 60 degrees and 65 to 70 degrees in the daytime if cloudy, with sunshine 70 to 75 degrees. With such treatment I had always success un- til this winter. There is a power house of an electric street railway about 500 feet east of my place, which was put up two years ago. 1 have been in this place since 1903. The plant has a steam exhaust that carries with the steam an oily substance. Quite frequently, if we have an east wind, it comes over the greenhouses and settles on the glass. One can \isually feel it in the face and on the bare hands as it comes down. In the last three months it has covered the glass of my green- houses with a black substance of an oily nature that water does not touch. 1 find it necessary to get on the roof with a rag and rub hard to clean the glass. I cleaned six rows of glass, then 1 placed a thermometer under the cleaned glass in the sun and it indicated 80 de- grees. I placed it under the dirty glass the same distance from the ground as before and it showed only 74 degrees. The glass being covered, shaded the roses to such an extent that they are worthless. The growth is yellow an' small. I will have to plant the house with young roses this spring. In the other house, 30x100 feet, I have callas that do not come out white; the flowers stay green. The Harrisii are also affected. The stock plants of chrys- anthemums make long, weak, spindly growths, no good to use as cuttings. The geraniums and other bedding plants are also growing spindly and soft. The temperature at night runs from 54 to 5S degrees, in the daytime 60 to 70 degrees if cloudy and 70 to 75 degrees with sunshine. I would like to have the opinion of some of, the leading growers, telling me what I am entitled to from the street railway company for damages, not hav- ing cut more than one dozen roses daily •and these of no value, for the last three months, finding it necessary to replant the house with young roses this spring, consequently not having any roses to cut before September also the buying of 3,- 000 chrysanthemums, 2-inch, the lilies not blooming and all the 10,000 4-inch pot plants being affected by the coating on the roof. Besides the exhaust, they have a pile of hot ashes outside smoking continual- ly and throwing off sulphurous fumes, whicdi affect a person 's throat 500 feet away. The fumes certainly have a bad effect on the soft growth. The pile of ashes is at least 40x40 feet square and six feet deep. The main part of it is continually burning and smoking. I invited several florists to see the roofs and they all say they never saw anything like it before. Different par- ties tell me that the street railway com- pany is putting a certain oil in the steam cylinders, which is carried off with the exhaust. Fresh fallen snow around their building turns yellow in a few hours and their own slate roof is full of the same substance. I would like to hear from florists who have had damage suits similar to my case. Chas. Lindacher. John Cook's New Pink Rose, Enchantress. TROUBLE WITH BULBS. My hyacinths and bulbs are att'ected by mealy luigs and some other kind of Inigs that look like the woodtick. It is t he size of a radish seed, color pinkish. Tlie flower pot is also full of thin, white worms. What is the cause of them; also wlmt can I do to get rid of them? G. W. K. I cannot account for the presence of mealy bugs on your hyacinths and other liullis, unless vou have other plants in the same house infested with this dirty insect, ajid then it would be strange that the bugs would travel to the hya- cinths in the few weeks they have been in the greenhouse. From the description of the other creature, "the size of a rad- ish seed," I can t determine what it is. The "thin, white worms" also add to these distressing circumstances. .\s soon as spring trade is over and vouv houses can be temporarily emptied, liiirn sulphur in the house, paint the in- terior, remove every particile of soil and liegin with a fresh supply and you must get rid of these pests. For immediate lielp syringe the hyacinths hard and that will remove the mealy bug. For the worms in the soil put a piece of quick lime the size of your fist in twenty gallons of water and when dis- solved and the water is clear, give the idants one watering with this lime wa- ter. This will bring angle worms to the surface to perish and it will most likely kill vour white worms. W. S. Frankfort, Ind. — H. M.

March was ushered in like a little lamb. The florists finished up their or- ders for a few late social gatherings and the effect of Lent is felt somewhat at present, though orders for funerals have kept up. This is about all the work that is going on at the present time. Prices on all kinds of stock are on the down- ward grade, this being particularly so with carnations and violets. Stock of all kinds is very plentiful, also of extra good quality. Eoses are more abundant of late and the demand not as active as for other stock. American Beauties are of better color and long-stemmed stock is more plentiful, with prices ranging from $3 to $6 per dozen for the best. Brides and Maids run 6 to 8 cents, sec- onds 3 to 5 cents. Meteors are very plentiful, with a slow demand. Carnations are of fine quality and more are in the market than the demand calls for. The price on fancy stock is down to 4 cents; 2 and 3 cents for the other grades. In 1,000 lots the price is .$15. A few more bright days will no doubt bring on a big glut. Violets are badly overstocked and the wholesalers have great diflSculty in moving them; 30 cents per 100 and $2.50 in 1,000 lots is the price just now. In bulbous stock the market has plenty of everything to offer at greatly reduced prices. Lily of the valley is a drug and can't be moved at any price. Romans, Paper Whites and tulips sell slowly. Harrisii is coming in fine at $2 per dozen for the long-stemmed and $1.50 for the shorter ones. Pink and white sweet peas are fine, but with rather short stems. These sell well at 50 cents per 100. Smilax is very scarce in this market at 20 cents per string. Common ferns are up to $3 per 1,000. Some fine adiantum brings $1 per 100. Executive Committee Meeting. The executive committee of the S. A. F. met in St. Louis Saturday and Mon- day. Those who attended the meeting were President Breitmeyer, of Detroit; Vice President Beneke, St. Louis; Secre- tary Stewart, of Boston; Treasurer Beatty, of Oil City, Pa.; H. M. Altick, of Dayton, O.; Theodore Wirth, of Hartford, Conn.; Philip J. Hauswirth, of Chicago; G. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo.; J. F. Ammann, of Edwards- ville, HI.; E. P. Tesson and Otto Koe- nig, of St. Louis. The delegates were met at the depot by Messrs. Beneke and Koenig and were escorted in an auto- mobile to the Southern hotel, where they at once went into session. In the eve- ning they were the guests of the St. Louis Florists' Club at a banquet, held at the Missouri Athletic Club. This was a very fine affair. The tables were decorated with La Detroit roses, for which we have to thank J. F. Sullivan, of Detroit, which was a great surprise to our president. Other decorations con- sisted of carnations and violets. Mr. Beneke acted as toastmaster. All the delegates responded to a call with re- marks for the good of the S. A. F. and the next convention. Sunday was taken up with a trolley ride to the World 's Fair grounds, which was a great treat to the delegates and the members of the local club as well. At the grounds we were the guests of F. W. Taylor and J. C. A. Kaehn. (Superintendent Trade Exhibition. S. A. P., St. Loins, 1904.) II. Hadkinson. We were taken in wagon- ettes and shown over the grounds. After seeing all the sights (which were such as to surprise our Chicago friend, Philip Hauswirth) we were taken to the Eng- lish building as the guests of Mr. Brown, the English landscape gardener in charge, who served refreshments, which were very much relished. The evening was spent at the theater. Mon- lay the executive session was resumed and at 11 a. m. all the work was fin- ished for the next convention. The afternoon was taken up sightseeing about the city. The evening was spent at the bowling alleys, after which the delegates departed for home, satisfied that the next convention of the S. A. F. will be the greatest in its history. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club held its regular meeting March 3. The meeting was at- tended by thirty members, who tn ' great interest in the proceedings. Tb" entertainment committee reported that the entertainment and hop given by the club last month was a financial success, and was discharged vrith thanks. The blue book committee reported through its chairman, F. C. Weber, that thev had completed their work and the book is in the hands of the secretary, at the disposal of members only. F. W. Maas was elected a member. IVaiik H. Weber, who is vice president of the American Association of Nurserymen, made a'^- piication for membership. F. Lauder- milch, of Kirkwood, Mo., exhibited his new white seedUng carnation, which was fairly well thought of by the com- mittee. J. H. Hadkinson, superintend- ent of floriculture at the World's Fair, read an interesting paper on "Land- scape Gardening at the World's Fair," to which the members listened atten- tively. It brought out a big discussion. After this Henry Emmons of Belleville, lead a discussion on "Propagating Ger- aniums." Both gentlemen received a hearty vote of thanks for their efforts. Messrs. Miller, Sanders and Herzog, our sick members, were reported as doing nicely and out of danger. All three ex- pect to be present at the nex' meeting. April 14 will be rose meeting, with prizes of $5, $3 and $2 for the best vases of twenty-five roses, American Beauties excepted, open to local growers only. Any new roses from the outside for exhibition will be appreciated by the members. It was decided that after this all exhibits will be judged by jioints, which will be more satisfactory to the exhibitors. At this meeting George Windier will read an essay on "Pot Grown Chrysanthemums," and John Steidle, of Clayton, will lead a dis- cussion on "Field Planting and Growing Carnations." Among the out-of-town members who attended the last meeting were J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville; Adolph Fehr and Henry Emmons, of Belleville; Henry Johann, of Collinsville ; F. W. Ude, Jr., W. J. Pilcher and Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood; John Steinecke, of Old Orchard; Joseph Furber, of Webster Groves; John Steidle, J. W. Dunford and Robert F. Tesson, of Clayton. Next week a meeting will be called of all the chairmen of the different com- mittees who have charge of the affairs of the S. A. F. convention, in order to review the work done by the executive board and from that time on the com- mittees will start work perfecting their plans for the coming convention. The 766 The Weekly Florists' Review. ilABCH 10, 1904. m-eeting will be presided over by the vice-president of the society. All chair- men will receive notice when and where to meet. Notes. H. G. Ude has left Kirkwood and is now located at Hichmond. Ind.. but not in the flower business. H. Hartman. who was formerly employed by Mr. Ude, is now in charge of the place. The father of Wm.

The Market Monday was one of the most disagree- able days of the year. A cold, drizzling rain from farly morning until long after midnight added to the stagnation in the wholesale market. There was literally nothing doing in the florist business and conditions give little evidence of improve- ment during the continuance of Lent. There is an abundance of everything, prices have sagged steadily and the weather has retired the street venders, so that even at unprecedented low prices thfse gentry hold aloof and so destroy this last hope of clearing the ice boxes and giving a semblance of demand to meet the enormous supply. Bulbous stock is in evidence every- where. Fine narcissi are offered at $1 a dozen bunches. Tulips are unsalable at any price and as to violets, the very best do not go above 3.5 cents and hun- dreds of thousands have cleaned up at $1 a 1,000. On Monday I saw a box of 5,500 splendid single violets, thrown into the barrel utterly unsalable. But the bottom has certainly been reached and the improvement will soon begin. Easter is so near that a general feeling of hope and expectation prevails. Various Notes. The first auction of the season took place at Elliott's on Tuesday. A fair attendance and good prices encouraged the veteran autocrat of the gavel and from now on, every Friday and Tuesday, the voice of the spring harbinger will be heard until further notice. Next week there will be offerings of Easter goods and the amount of importations of hardy stock for this purpose this season is ex- ceptionally large. All arrangements for rose night at the New York Florists' Club, Eight)i avenue and Twenty-third street, are now completed. A splendid exhibit by many of the leading rose growers of the coun- try is assured and a very large attend- ance is anticipated. All florists, whether members of the club or not, are cordially invited to attend. The bowling club will meet at its alleys at 3 p. m. on Monday. The membership of the club i.< growing steadily and the attendance constantly increasing. Dr. F. M. Hexamer, the veteran of the American Institute, is very ill with rheumatism at his home in Stamford, (.'onn. Ralph Perkins is not expected to re- cover from a second attack of pneumonia and pleurisy. On Saturday the father of E. B. Punne, of West Thirtieth street, died of pneumonia, after a six weeks' illness, at the age of 78. The mother of Chas. Habermann, the retail florist of One Hundred and First street and Broadway, died last week of asthma. E. W. Young, of Avondale, N. J., is sending some splendid shipments of sweet peas to John Young of West Twenty-eighth street. Jas. McManus says the demand for or- chids continues brisk from out-of-town buyers and shipments to other cities are made by him daily. The amount of violets left over last Sunday was enormous. One wholesaler on Twenty-ninth street had over 100,000 to dispose of Monday. It was a slaugh- ter. The New York visitors to the Detroit convention have a very happy experience to remember, judging by their enthusias- tic references to the trip. Mrs. Guttman. the only lady visitor from the east, was especially delighted with the courtesy manifested and the delightful time af- forded at the theater and banquet by the Detroit ladies. Mr. Guttman says the craft misses an invaluable opportunity for benefit by failing to attend the con- ventions and that every man who takes a practical interest in his business can- not afford to miss them. He considered the banquet and entertainment provided the most elaborate and enjoyable in his experience. Everything was most credit- able to the Detroit Club. Mr. and Mrs. Guttman visited Buffalo and the Falls on their return. Adam A. Treppel, of Brooklyn, has been added to Mr. Gutt- man's force of salesmen. President Traendly and .Tno. B. Nu- gent, who traveled together to Detroit arrived home on Saturday in good con- dition and full of enthusiasm, and gave a glowing account of the exhibition and the generous reception accorded them by the Detroit brethren. They were par- ticularly reminiscent as to the banquet and vaudeville entertainment, the visit to the baths at Mt. Clemens and the glories of the new rose at President Breitmey- er 's, which they say is sure to become very popular and to meet with universal demand. Geo. Bradshaw has added fern balls and lilies in pots to his supply department and is handling large quantities of fine pmilax and Sprengeri daily. Fred Zahn, who has been verv ill for three months, lias entirely recovered his health and his many friends in the trade will be glad to know he expects to open his new store on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, in time for the Easter trade. His present address is 137 West One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. His experience in floral decorating cov- ers a period of over twenty years in New York City. Johanu C. O. Schulze, of West Nyack, disappeared December 21, from G. E. Bradshaw 's wholesale store, 53 West Twenty-eighth street, and has not been seen nor heard from since that time. Any information as to his whereabouts would be gratefully received, either by Mr. Bradshaw or by the wife, Mrs. Schulze, at West Nyack, N. Y. His age is 41, height five feet two inches, round face, sandy mustache, gray hair, light blue eyes, the right lid partially closed, weight 160 pounds. It is thought that he is in the west. He had considerable money with him the day he disappeared. The bowlers are doing finely. The at- tendance increases each week and the scores show that there will be close riv- alry for positions on the strong team which will represent New Y''ork at the St. Louis convention.

Roses are not very plentiful, though Liberties are coming in more freely. Beauties are still scarce, with no immediate prospects of a heavy in- crease. The changes in the market from last week 's report are the increased quan- tity of Easter lilies, all the commission houses and the Flower Market being well supplied; the demand for gardenias, which are taking well at reduced rates, and the falling off in demand for sweet peas, which will probably come to the front again immediately after Easter. There are some good varieties of fancy tulips to be had in limited quantities and thousands of daffodils. Commissioo House Change. The firm of C. F. Edgar & Co. has succeeded C. A. Dunn & Co., at 1516 and 1518 Sanson! street. Mr. Edgar, who has been with the old firm since it start- ed last fall, has just returned from a flying trip through the center of the state, where he received many assurances of support from both growers and buy- ers. The firm 's growers have shown their confidence to a man by continuing regu- lar shipments while several new consign- ors have been added to the list. Mr. Edgar and his able assistant, Mr. Muth. have the best wishes of their many friends for the success of their enter- prise. Majich 10. 1904. The Weekly Florists* Review. 767 Propagating Dahlias. We are indebted to W. P. Peacock, of Atco, N. J., for some valuable ideas on this subject, as follows: "We have just had a photogiaph taken of three roots of the new dahlia, Kriemhilde, raised from cuttings described by some as 'a weak thing. ' Two of these, which were about the average size, or a little over the average, weight one and one-half pounds, while the largest one weighed three and one-quarter pounds. In order to show the comparative sizes we had a foot rule photographed right with the roots. We used the rule so as to show the comparative size of the roots and that it actually weighed what the num- ber called for. We used the variety Kriemhilde because it is the bang-up variety just introduced from the other side, and of which there were no roots in this country raised from divided roots. Many other varieties grow much larger, and of course others grow much smaller, but we took roots of this variety for the above stated reasons. In addition we do not think it is right to show a dahlia root on the basis that a root is a root, as no two varieties are exactly alike, or grow exactly the same size, and it is best, therefore, to come right down to a given variety and there is, of course, then a basis for estimating in other varieties. ' ' Notes. IJeo Niessen has been receiving gar- denias ever since New Years from John Wilde, of Swarthmore, Pa. The Flower Market is receiving some splendid Mrs. Lawson and other choice carnations from Charles A. Schaefer, of York, Pa. Henry A. Dreer Co., report an excellent demand for small palms and ferns throughout February. They have alreadj' accepted orders for azaleas in large num- bers for Easter delivery. William Munro, of Lansdowne, Pa., is sending fine Bridesmaids to Edward Eeiii. Eugene Bernheimer is pleased with the season's business so far. The quantity of stock marketed exceeds that of last season. While prices have not, of course, been so good the returns have averaged well. He believes that carnation grow- ers with a limited amount of glass should confine themselves to three or four va- rieties that do best with them, paying special attention to a good white. Mr. Bernheimer has just returned from a fly- ing trip among the growers. Mrs. Smith, of the firm of Smith & Fetters, Cleveland, Ohio, was a visitor in this city recently. The Henry F. Michell Co. has about completed the improvements, which make the store one of the finest in the city. The show windows are verv attractive. Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., have a fine lot of Crimson Ramblers in large pots, carefully trained into the round shapes so desirable. Leo Niessen was able to furnish the Wm. Graham Co. mth $100 worth of Acacia pubesceus for a decoration. This would have been an impossibility a few years ago. The Florists' Club will tender a com- plimentary banquet to the American Rose Society, when it meets in this city week after next. Wm. J. Baker continues to handle a fine lot of fancy and standard carna- tions. D. T. Conner, representing the Lord & Burnham Co., has contracted with George II. Burk, Atlantic City, N. J., for one new greenhouse, and also with John Bur- ton, Wyndmoor, Pa., for one large house to replace a house to be torn down short- ly. Mr. Conner has a number of in- quiries for new houses and expects a busy season. Aaswets to Correspondents. Review readers are invited to send any questions relating to culture or market- ing of plants and flowers in Philadelphia to Phil, in care of any of the leading seed or commission houses or the Flower Market. Each question will be submitted to a competent person and answered under number. Correct name and ad- dress must always accompany inquiry, but will not be published. Question No. 7. — Will Prosperity bloom earlier if propagated in December and housed in August? Probably it wiU. A better plan for securing early bloom is to grow it indoors all summer. Question No. 8. — WUl Estelle give good results when propagated from plump tops! Yes, and you can get more cut- tings that way. Question No. 9. — Is Governor Roosevelt superior to General Gomez as a commer- cial variety? Governor Roosevelt has not proven entirely satisfactory throughout this country. It appears to be very sub- ject to rust. Harlowarden is today con- sidered better than either. Phil. CHICAGO. The Market. The market has shown little change during the past week, mid-Lenten condi- tions prevailing. There are ample sup- plies of stock in all lines and quality is good in almost all items. Good Beauties are the one thing which are not seen in large numbers. Of Brides, Maids and other roses there axe enough for all re- quirements and nearly all the gi-owers are cutting first-class stocW. Liberty is in the lightest supply of any of the smaller roses. Carnations are of fancy grade with most of the growers and the supplies are large. In fact, during the week prices have been below the dollar mark for a very fair grade of goods. White is holding a little firmer than the colors because the principal demand is for fu- neral flowers. Local trade is very quiet indeed, but shipping business is fairly active, although most of the orders are small. Now and then a department store special sale cleans up the market on carnations. Easter liUes and callas are very abun- dant and making slow sales. Prices have taken a drop in this department. The receipts of tulips and other bulbous stock are hardly as heavy as a week ago, but no better values are being obtained. Violets are still coming in heavily from the east and it looks as though they would not find much improvement in sale before the Easter business. Green goods are in demand, the use of asparagus having become general with the retail- ers. There are ample supplies in all lines. Various Notes. Those who have canvassed the Easter lily situation report that there will be plent}' of lilies, although not so many as a year ago. Of quality not much can be said. Good lilies will be good property before the Easter business is over. Poehlmann Bros. Company has con- cluded to add another 100,000 feet of );lass to their range this season. They vrill also rebuild several of their old houses, and have placed an order for 5,000 feet of Garland's iron gutter and the neces- sary iron posts. It is stated that J. D. Thompson is now the owner of all the stock in the Thompson Carnation Co., of which he is now the president. The Florists' Club held its regular meeting at Handel Hall last evening. There was a good attendance and con- siderable business of importance. William Kroeschell was a day late in getting to the Detroit convention, be- cause of a trip to St. Louis to secure an order amounting to $35,000, which he landed last week Tuesday. Benthey & Co. have their plant nearly all in three-year-old roses and are cut- ting very fine stock. Most of the es- tablishment will be planted with young stock this season. W. J. Palmer, of Buffalo, was one of the week's visitors. James MeHutchi- son, of New York, was in town on busi- ness and J. A. Valentine stopped a few days enroute home from the convention. P. J. Hauswirth attended the meeting of the S. A. F. executive committee at St. Louis from Saturday to Monday. In a shipment of eastern violets Ken- nicott Bros. Co. found the phenomenal bloom of the season. It was as big as, and had as many petals as are found in many a bunch of Lady Campbell. George Reinberg reports the rooted cutting trade booming at present. L. Coatsworth went over to Canada after the convention for a visit to his old home. Peter Reinberg showed a fine vase of Chateuay rose at the Louisville club meeting Tuesday. John P. Risch is doing jury duty this week. James Curran, formerly with Oscar Friedman, is now with Joh'nson & Swan and Johnson & Swan's man has taken Mr. Curran 's place with Friedman. C. W. McKellar is again getting cat- tlevas. PITTSBURG. The Market The supply of all kinds of flowers is quite heavj' and fine stock is offered at exceptionally low prices. The only no- ticeable shortage is first-class American Beauties; these are very scarce. The few days of warm sunshine produced a heavy crop of Maids and Brides, and prices have dropped to $10 per 100 for fancy stock ; medium and smaller grades are offered as low as $3 per 100. Brides are moving out while Maids accumulate. The supply of carnations is increasing; they sell at $1 to $3 per 100, and in 1,000 lots the finest stock can be bought at $20. Good lilies Are plentiful enough and meet with fair demand; inferior flowers one can buy at $4 to $6 per 100. In tulips, narcissi, daffodils, sweet peas, valley and violets large accumulations exist and are offered in quantities at ex- tremely low figures. Various Notes. Our delegates who attended the Carna- tion Society's meeting in Detroit re- turned last Saturday. At the Florists' Club meeting next Tuesday, March 15, we will hear the report. By good au- thority I am informed that John Mur- 768 The Weekly Florists' Review* Mabch 10, 1904. chie's new irhite carnation, which he has named Fred Burki, was one of the best white carnations at the convention; its size, stem and lasting qualities all surely demonstrated this fact. The recent floods destroyed many of the railroad and county bridges between Bakerstown and this city, which impedes all traffic for the growers from that sec- tion. It was necessary for the Pittsburg Sose & Carnation Co., J. L. Wyland, W, F, Westhoff, A. Lorch & Co. and Wm, Hoffman to haul their flowers across the vountry last week. M, C, DunlevT & Sons, of Carnegie, are • shipping the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. quantities of very fine bulbous stock, among which is a trumpet narcissus worthy of mention, named Sir Watkins. It has light yellow petals with dark trumpet. Uncle John Wyland well foretold this cold winter last faU. He guessed it from the goosebone. He said the goose- bone had a thick covering of fur and reminded him of a thin girl in a rabbit- skin ulster. Something unusual for the goosebone. Uuele John further quotes: This winter was confounded long, .'.nd more than th;it. darned tough; It came u,or>n us greenhouse folk, A Iirooo^'ition rough.

Winsor, •of Fairhaven, are annually thrown open to the public for a few days in February and large numbers of visitors avail them- selves of the opportunity to inspect an exceedingly well kept private establish- ment. The opening day this year was February 25, and once more Peter Mur- ray, the able gardener in charge, had his houses beautifully arranged and a blaze of bloom. Orchids are particular favorites with Mr. Murray and his em- ployer. His show of dendrobituns at^' odontoglossums was superb. Coelogynes, cypripediums, cattleyas. phalsenopsis, cymbidiums and other sorts were also in fine condition. In carnations, Lawson was very fine. A new seedling, named Winsor, similar to Lawson in habit but intermediate in color between that va- riety and Enchantress, was in fine condi- tion. All kinds of bulbous stock, lUy of the valley, primulas, cyclamens, genis- tas, azaleas, Lilium Harrisii and other seasonable flowers were effectively ar- ranged and the whole devolved great credit on Mr. Murray, who is one of Massachusetts' most up-to-date private gardeners. ORANGE, N. J. The regular monthly meeting and show of the New Jersey Floricultural Society was held March 4.

FLORISTS SHOULD ADVERTISE. Do florists who sell at retail advertise sufficiently in this age of advertising? Does not the selling of flowers follow the same laws of supply and demand as any other business? Would not any flor- ist make earnest efforts to increase his supply if he found an increasing de- mand? Of course he would; he has reached the profit stage, and every addi- tional demand now means an increase, not onlv of business, but also of prof- its. The shrewdest, most far-seeing busi- ness men in the country realize that there is a way to create an additional demand for what they have to sell. That way is by advertising. Why, then, should not retail florists, who surely realize the advantages of an additional demand, follow the methods that have proved so advantageous in other lines of trade? Florists are engaged in one of the most beautiful businesses in the world. Esthetic advertising has proved to be a most effective bringer of business. It is much easier to advertise flowers es- thetically than it is patent medicine, or even soap. What will benefit one busi- ness is likely to benefit another. Busi- ness is business, wherever we find it. — Retailer and Advertiser. Beatkice, Neb. — Articles of incorpo- ration of the Dole Floral Co, have been filed in the ofiice of the county clerk.

Pepper, the well known gardener and florist, died suddenly March 3, due to heart disease. About 7 o'clock he was attending to the furnace at his home, corner of Gansevoort and Prospect streets, and not returning as expected, a member of the family went below to learn the cause. Mr. Pepper was found lying beside the furnace in an uncon- scious condition. Medical aid was sum- moned, but he died before the arrival of a physician. Deceased came to this country from England seventy-two years ago, being then a child of two years. He settled in Little Falls in 1861, and in time acquired considerable property. He was a florist and conducted a green- house for a number of years. He was a man of strong convictions and of an uncompromising character. He was a pronounced prohibitionist who was never cast down so long as he had strength to rally in support of the cause. An able speaker, he had conspicuous part in conducting the affairs of the party, whose nominee he was at different times for offices, including assemblyman. He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Maria Partridge, of XJtica, and by two adopted sons. IMPERISHABLE CYPRESS. The following paragraph was written and published in 1894; of course it was then, is now and forever will be, true: "The phenomenal durability of cypress is believed to proceed from the presence in its natural chemical com- position of an acid having the active qualities of creosote. There is, of course, some natural cause for its dem- onstrated proof against the ravages of water, air and time, and that cause is equally of course of a chemical char- acter. In other words, nature seems to have treated cypress in a manner some- what corresponding, in its results, at least, to that of the artificial use of creosote as a preservative," — Lumber Trade Journal. Bloomington, III, — A, Washburn & Sons are preparing to put up a fine three- story business block of pressed brick, the lower floor to be occupied by their store. March 10. 1904. The Weekly Florists^ Review, 769 CINCINNATL The Market. We are having warmer weather and it is quite agreeable. It is to be hoped that we have seen the last of cold weather for this season, as we surely have had our share. Trade is quiet and though the sum total of business done is quite equal to last year, if not bet- ter, still things seem to drag and there is no life in the demand. There is no oversupply in either carnations or roses, but the prices obtained have dropped. Bulbous stock is being hit the hardest, especially callas and Harrisii. At times it is next to impossible to even give them away. Tulips, daffodils, hya- cinths and valley go somewhat better, but they are selling very slow and at very low figures. Violets are doing bet; tei-, but very few bring above 50 cents per 100. Smilax is very scarce. Other greens also are in heavy demand. Ferns are getting to be a precious article and are snapped up by the stores whenever they see them. Not^s Saturday will see the regular month- ly meeting of the Florists' Society and also the annual carnation show. There will be some fine carnations staged and a number of out of town florists will be on hand. All growers who have something new or of special merit will confer a favor upon the society by send- ing blooms. The Cincinnati boys who went to the convention are all home again and all express themselves as well pleased at the treatment they received in Detroit. They are very enthusiastic over the show and all in all pronounce it the banner convention. Dick Witterstaetter and W. K. Part- ridge are busy receiving congratulations for their well-earned victories, ft is a pleasure to note that though we do )iot raise such vast quantities of carnations, still what we do grow cannot be beaten. Adonis and The Cardinal, Enchantress that does not go to sleep, are Cincinnati products. C. J. Ohmer. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Adveriisements under this head one cent a word, cash with order.

Stock is still scarce and there is plenty of work for everybody iu the flower business. White roses and car- nations are not to be had for funeral work. Lilies and Golden Gate roses have to be used by everyone. Floral wreaths and casket covers are Ijeiug made by every florist in town. The last ten days were the busiest for funer- al work ever known in Kansas City. Green stock for background work is .Qs scarce as flowers. Every grower around the city seems to be having a good crop of sweet peas and violets on now, and they have been a big help to all of us. Notes. Three of us journeyed out to the Rock- Heite greenhouses on South Troost ave- nue last Friday and saw carnations grown as only Charley Heite can grow them, and he has had great success with roses in the one house that lie has tried to grow them in, 28x200. Their Easter plants are all looking as if they would make it in good time and a fine lot they will have in azaleas, lilies, spir- aeas, hydlangeas and Eamblers. They also have a good looking lot of palms and ferns, in fact everything and ev- erybody about the place seemed to be doing well. L. M. £•. Tiffin, O. — As a result of the paper read some time ago before the local hor- ticultural society and shortly after pub- lished in the Review, Lewis Ulrich is each season selling about 3,000 rose plants taken from the benches at 15 cents each.

A COIL HEATER. We expect to install a new boiler in the spring, one we made ourselves, on the same principle as one that we are using, only about six times as large. The one I am using at present is made of inch piping and I can heat 4,000 square feet of glass when it is 20 de- grees below zero outside. This winter we maintained 50 degrees in a carnation house of 2,000 square feet of glass am"! 40 degrees in a lettuce house of 2,000 square feet. The back is a cast hollow core with a pocket cast on it, where two 3-inch returns enter the boiler, one on each side, and out of it flow the pipes that run forward and back, forming a coil which, all told, equals about 325 feet of l^.i-inch pipe, the flows going out at the top. Now, what I want to know is how many feet of 2-inch pipe should i', heat? I am putting up a new house for roses, but it is small. I am going to use it for show and salesroom in a few- years. It is about 15x35, ten feet to ridge, four feet sides, glass ends and sides to one foot of the ground. Will one 3-inch flow feed six 2-inch returns and heat it and maintain a temperature of 56 degrees at 10 degrees below zero? I intend putting the boiler in a pit two feet deep. I would put it lower, but cannot on account of drainage. I will run an overhead feci of 3-inch pipe and return with six 2-incli pipes. I burn natural gas to heat my boiler, in fact have never used anything else. About how does it compare with coal, gas 20 cents per 1.000 feet, coal $6 per ton? L. H. W.

A water tube boiler is always more efficient than 'a fire tube boiler. The arrangement described, if it is equivalent to 325 feet of l^A-inch pipe, should have capacity to carry 1,300 feet of radiation or about 2,100 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe. The 33-foot house to be maintained at 56 degrees in cold weather will require at least 202 feet of radiation, which will require an equivalent of 325 feet of 2- inch pipe in the house. With a 3-inoh riser eight 2-inch returns will be suf- ficient. With natural gas at 20 cents per 1,000 cubic feet it would be about equal in value to the best coal at $6. The usual basis for estimating these fuels is to con- sider 30,000 feet of gas equal to one ton of the best coal. The poorer grades of coal at $6 per ton would be more ex- pensive for a given number of heat units than the gas at 20 cents per 1,000 feet. Then, too, there is a great saving in la- bor with the gas. No firing is neces- sary and there are no ashes to remove, which is a big item with a large plant. L. C. C.

TowNSEXD and Bryant Fleming, landscape architects, announce that they hare opened an office at 1326 Prudential building, Buffalo, N. Y. The Cannon Bros., nurserymen, Detroit, Jlinn., have been succeeded by Cannon & Anderson, O. D. Cannon having sold his interest to A. W. Anderson. Less landscape work than in recent seasons will be done this year in the summer residence neighborhoods in the vicinity of Xew York ; "Wall street is still dull, A RECENT issue of the Des Moines Capi- tal contains a half-page iUustrated write- up of Shenandoah, la., as the nursery center of the west and of E. S. Welch as proprietor of the leading institution there. Western nurserymen find comparative- ly little sale for the arbor-vita; as a hedge plant, but in the east they are in good demand, several recent orders call- ing for considerable stock in the larger sizes. Catalpa Bungei is a curious, round- headed dwarf tree which attracts nearly every one. It is quite hardy and top grafted on tall stems it has in certain cases taken the place of the bay tree in formal work. There was a time when the platting of new additions to the city of Chicago served to make good business for nursery- men, but this season will be like its im- mediate predecessors, "nothin' doin' " in that respect, Brooklyn seems to be the theater of the real estate speculators' operations just now. The nurserymen in the states contigu- ous to the great lakes are fearful of much damage to stock by reason of the long and severe winter. They also fear a short shipping season because of a late spring. There was a short digging sea- son last fall and most firms have only one-third or one-half as much stock as usual in the cellars. Orders are coming in rather slowly and on the whole it does not look like a good season. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. Elm City iSursery Co., New Haven, Conn, nursery stock; Wm. H.

WHITE FLY AND WINTER BLIGHT. I read with a great deal of interest the opinions and instructions of your ex- pert writers. Considerable has been said of late about the little white fly, which apparently succumbs to nothing but hydrocyanic acid gas. I have experi- mented somewhat with the gas, but find it so irregular in its action that I don't feel that I have gained much real knowledge about its use. I never used one-half as much as I see recommended in your valuable paper and yet I have had every leaf killed on tomato plants six feet high by a quantity which on previous occasions had killed the flies without apparent injury to the vines. I think the tightness of the house and the moisture conditions indoors and out have much influence in determining its efficiency and destruetiveness. I have a trouble in my tomato house, which I am at a loss to fight. Tears ago I read in Prof. Bailey's book on Green- house Management, of what he called "winter blight." As near as I can judge by his description and picture it is what troubles me. and I have it bad. He did not pretend to give a remedy, preventive or curative, but in a few years it left him. In my case it grows worse. I have tried the most highly recommended fungicides and have prac- ticed for years pulling out every affected plant. I grow them on the ground and therefore can 't well change the soil com- pletely, but I change to other houses and it follows me. Has anyone ever been able to get rid of it after it has once appeared? Doesn't someone know more of its nature and management than the professor seemed to at that timef G. H. A. TOMATOES. We are just about to make our last indoor planting for the season. The house has just been cleared of a former crop and will receive a thorough cleaning and a fumigating with sulphur to kill any insects and germs of fungous diseases that may be hanging around, before the young plants are set. The growing of this crop will be much easier than the one just cleared out, but we can 't expect to realize as good prices, which, by the ivay, have kept up fairly well all through the winter. By the time they come into bearing they will come into competition with the southern arti- cle. StiU, as less firing will be needed to maintain a night temperature of about 60 degrees and, unless during dull, damp spells, no firing at all will be necessary during the day, it will cost less to mature the crop. If fair prices can be procured they ought to pay. Markets are always more or less uncertain, but we find to- matoes are a product that there is al- ways a demand for, and are never a drug on the market until the outdoor article begins to be plentiful. Customers will always pay considerable more for a nice fresh home-grown article than for an article that has been shipped from a distance and has lost more or less both in appearance and quality in transit. It will hardly be necessary to renew all the soil in the benches for this crop, but the old soil shoidd be removed just where the plants are to be set and enough new soil supplied to give the plants something fresh to work on untU they have a good hold. The remaining old soO should be loosened up and some bone meal or other similar fertilizer worked well in through it. But it won 't be necessary to use a large quantity of this, as it might induce rank growth at the expense of fruit. Nourishment can be supplied la- ter, if necessary, in the form of liquid manure, just when it is going to be most beneficial to the advancement of tffe fruit. If the leaf growth is over-abundant it can be regulated by cutting off the half of the leaf, but it is better to have the growth balanced so that this won't be necessary. If the plants are any way drawn or leggy don t be afraid in plant- ing to set them well down, as roots will be emitted all along the part of the stem covered. Getting them down well at first, with the proper amount of light and air to promote stocky growth, the first flow- ers should show and the first fruits set not more than nine or ten inches above the soil.

Kendel, Cleveland, O. The 22d annual meeting will be held at St. Louis, Mo., June, 19M. Mail orders are coming in with a rush. The high price of potatoes in the pro- vision markets is having its effect on seed potato prices. Onion sets have not been in such brisk demand at good prices since the year of the Chicago World's Fair. One of the largest dealers says he has to date sold twice as many canna roots as in all of any previous season. Field corn is hard to buy and seed potatoes are getting beyond the reach of those who are accepting orders at retail catalogue rates. It is found that retail catalogue prices are much too low on many of the varie- ties that were thought to be plentiful a month or two ago. Onion seed is bound to be in better demand than anticipated and the supply may not be so much in excess of the de- mand as has been supposed. Tests show a great variation in the germination of alfalfa seed. At the seed laboratory at Ottawa, Canada, samples have germinated from five to eighty-five per cent. The greatest vitality was in samples of a bright greenish yellow col- or. But if seed is of known low vitality it can be sown more heavily. A NEW departure in the seed line is a price list offering trash at low figures. Its redeeming feature is its apparent honesty. It assumes that the consumer, for the sake of low prices, will buy an article that properly belongs in the dump heap. On February 25 the Joe L. Ullathorne Seed Co., of Memphis, was issued a char- ter authorizing a capitalization of $100,- 000. The incorporators are Joe L. Ulla- thorne, O. C. Armstrong, A. S. UUa- thorue, Geo. S. Hooper, W. A. Bickford, A. Walsh and Henry Craft. SEED WARRANTY. On the question of warranty of seed, the recent suit of Gardner vs. Winter was decided in favor of the dealer by the Supreme Court of Kentucky, which affirmed the Judgment of a jury in the Circuit Court of Mason County. Gardner asked for and was shown western Ger- man millet; and Winter & Co., not having enough of this seed on hand, ordered from a wholesale seed house in Cincinnati, and had de- livered to him eighteen bushels in the original packages. Winter & Co. testified that there were two qrjilities of western German millet seed — one grown in the south, which was raised almost entirely for seed purposes; that this seed was cultivated in hills, like com; and that the seed was sent west and resown, and pro- duced what was known to the trade as western German millet seed to distinguish it from the genuine southern seed; that after the western German millet seed had been resown for sev- eral years, it had a tendency to run out and deteriorate, so that it did not produce so luxu- riantly as the southern seed. They also in- troduced testimony to the effect that the seed had germinated all right but that early in June a severe drought set in. which lasted until November, and that this prevented the millet, a hard crop on land, from growing on thin land like the plaintiff's. The ruling is: Where plaintiff, relying on his own judgment and past experience, bought of defendants, who were dealers in seeds, a specific article, known as western German millet seed, there was no im- plied warranty that the seeds would germinate and produce good crops, nor that they were reasonably fit for the purpose to which they were to be applied. Whether the seed sold to hiui actually belonged to that variety, is for the jury. Your paper does the work, all right. — J. C. Schmidt, Bristol, Pa. A. LeCOQ & GO.

TORONTa The Market Trade during the last week has been, to use a slang term, ' ' nothing to write home about. ' ' The storm the fore part of last week blocked trafiSe so that the shipping trade was completely demora- lized and many of the branch lines are not yet open. We have been treated to all kinds of weather and we have noted that these sudden changes do not tend to stimulate business very materially. A birch bark canoe now makes a very ap- propriate window decoration. AH lines of cut flowers are plentiful at present and, though it is hard to fore- cast what may happen between now and Easter, from the way many of the grow- ers are chasing Easter orders it would look as though they were afraid stock was going to be left on their hands. Various Notes. The Toronto Horticultural Association and the Toronto Gardeners ' and Florists ' Association hold their annual carnation exhibition in St. George's Hall on Fri- day, March 11. We don't really expect this will eclipse the Carnation Show we are at present reading about, just held in Detroit, but the prospects are that it will be a good; show, of a very entertain- ing kind. This will give the carnation growers a chance to see all the new varie- ties, as well as many of the staple va- rieties grown as they should be. Some time ago considerable was v?Tit- ten from this district about crepe-chas- ing and we are glad to note that the prac- tice has been stopped. But our atten- tion is now called to a new scheme, which can only be checkmated by concerted ac- tion. Being well connected socially a party is able to scent receptions, teas and other social functions considerably in advance of the date they are to be held. She then proceeds to solicit the order for floral decorations. She finds out the florist from whom they have been usually getting their supply, takes Rooted Carnation Cuttings.

We are having bright weather again, after an almost unprecedented siege of rain, and we are all glad of the change. Business, outside of the usual work for funerals, is nothing to brag of, but the funeral design portion of it has been good for the past two weeks. Flowers in genera! seem to be a bit more plenti- ful, except roses. American Beauties are selling wholesale at from $1.50 to $3 per dozen and very few good blooms of- fered. Brides and Maids bring 50 cents to $1 for fancy stock, which is a good price. Liberty are 50 to 75 cents per dozen and a few Testouts fetch 75 cents, which completes our supply of roses. Carnations are held at the same figure as they have been for the past six weeks, although I expect prices will fall some- what in the next few days. Violets are iiardly worth picking — they are so cheap and since they are not being handled by the hucksters on the street corners they are a perfect glut. Great bunches con- taining 200 blooms are sold wholesale at 50 cents per dozen. A few mums are holding on remark- ably well but the stems are almost de- void of foliage and the flowers are used principally in designs. The early daf- fodils are beginning to disappear and some of the later varieties are coming in to take their place. They sell at from 50 cents to $1 per hundred. Valley is plentiful and a few growers are bring- ing in fair Harrisii. Freesias are get- ting scarce but tulips are still holding their own. The last few days of sun- shine have brought out a wealth of nar- cissi and they can be had at any price, but their season is almost over. Notes. A. Ringier, of W. W. Barnard & Co., Chicago, has arrived in town. He re- ports everything along the road in good shape and business ahead of last year. The agitation regarding the right of street venders to sell on the public side- walks has been the topic among the San ' aneisco florists for the past week. The Retail Florists' Association is to appear before the supervisors on Thurs- iltv night of this week and renew the fight to have the ordinance recently adopted made permanent. For some un- accountable reason one of our largest daily newspapers has championed the DO YOl know how much you s when you buy Ribbons direct from a manufacturer ?

Such rubbish is very disgusting to our city florists and to the trade in general, and it is to be hoped that the supervisors will make the license high enough so that the hucksters will be compelled to charge a fair price for their stock. G. WAYSIDE JOTTINGS. At Golden Gate park, Peter Rock is a vary busy man just now. He has a crew of men lifting trees, etc., to beautify the small parks of San Francisco, especially those located south of Market street, where there is an element that not only gets away with the shrubbery, but occa- sionally some of the statuary and por- tions of the fountains disappear. This is a growing locality. The stock in the nursery rows look fine after the rain we have had and does credit to Mr. Rock, the painstaking superintendent. He has a block of Erica persoluta alba that is particularly noticeable. H. Rodfish, of Dwightway, Berkeley, has a grand display of Enchantress. His Lawson and Queen Louise are well grown, "assuming the God-like attitude of freedom" from carnation diseases. His roses, on Baltimore Belle stock, are vigorous and clean. A. Massey, of Elmhurst, is busy get- ting his carnation cuttings into the sand. He propagates from selected stock. The houses are neatness itself. A new range has been installed and there seems to be but one thing lacking about this place, viz., "Highland Mary." At Ocean View the hillsides are beau- tiful with thousands of violets, and the pansies from this locality are perfectly grand. In San Francisco violets) are being re- tailed m large bunches at 10 cents per bunch "all over town." The camellias are a sight. We measured some five inches across the back of the flower. Bride and Maid roses are unusuall.v 784 The Weekly Florists' Review. March 10, 1904 LOOK THIS ADV. OVER Asparagus Plumosus Nanus, The true Nanus.

One fine lot sold (in bloom) at 5 cents per string, strings five and six feet long. Other green goods are getting more plentiful, but good quality is still in demand. Frank & Parodi, of 33 Geary street, have leased another building a little far- ther up the street. Eents are advanc- ing in the vicinity of the old stand. A "war of roses" exists around Lot- ta 's fountain, the stores acting on the defensive and the basket men driven to the streets. In Alameda county the horticultural bug hunter would be rewarded by visit- ing some of the Asiatic establishments. This county is doing some good work in street tree planting. In the coast coun- ties of this state shade trees are not so desirable as ornamental trees, palms, etc. In the southern part of California, the weather has been so favorable to out- side carnations this winter that they are not using near as much bulbous stock as thev did last season. The Cox Seed Company reports a good demand for nursery stock. Mr. Cox thinks this will be "their heaviest ship- ping season, but complains of the freaks of the trade on this coast in having to stock up one month with things that are not in demand a few months later. This, however, has always been characteristic of the Pacific coast. People seem to go to extremes in everything. W. E. King, of Santa Cruz, has been making a trip around the nurseries and reports business generally good, but de- layed by the late rains. Can anyone tell why so many camel- lias have dropped their flower buds this year? Mutu.vl Friend.

A GOVERNMENT STATION. The horticultural authorities at Wash- ington have been contemplating for some time the establishment of a great outdoor nursery in California. This is quite a distinction in favor of our glori- ous climate, as it has been demonstrated in several of the agricultural sub-sta- tions already started that we are able to grow and ripen in perfection many of the tropical fruits that are of great commercial value and for which the country pays many hundreds of thou- sands of dollars yearlj' for its imports. The great trouble has been that such portions of the Pacific coast as are adapted to the growth of tropical fruits are not blessed with the copious rain- fall that makes such vegetation of natu- ral growth. But by the systems of irrigation that have recently been in- troduced many thousands of acres can and will be brought under cultivation. G. No. ToNAWANDA, N. Y.— The King Construction Co. recently shipped the ma- terial for two greenhouses to a point in California to which the freight rate was $1.67. It looks as though someone thinks a good thing worth going a long way to get. We cannot afford to do without the Review. — G. M. Thost, De Soto, Mo. Makch 10, 1904.

GREENHOUSES, HINSDALE, ILL ■U^^-U:»-U;*<^:9^^t:^-Vi9^-^^ HEATING LONG SASH HOUSE. Can a sash house, running east and west, 12x200, built on a side hill, east end four feet higher than the west end, be successfully heated by placing the boiler at the lower or west end, the pip- ing to be one 2-ineh flow and two 2-inch returns on each side, hung upon the side posts to house, one above the other, with the same grade as the house, i. e., four feet rise to flow from boiler to farther end of house, and four feet fall on re- turn to boiler, or in other words, the flow and returns to be parallel to each other, and run at the same grade as the ground? Can 1,200 feet of 2-inch pipe be heated as economically in the above house as it could be in two houses of half the length each? S. s. P. The sash house can be heated vrith the pipes arranged as described. With water at 180 degrees the six pipes should be sufficient to maLntain the house at 40 to 45 degrees in severe weather. The sys- tem will be more economical and more efficient if the runs are kept at 100 feet or less. Hot water moves slowly and decreases rapidly in efficiency in systems with runs over 100 feet in length. If it is practicable to build two 100-foot houses instead of one 200-foot house hot water pipes arranged as above described will prove more efficient than in the lon- ger house. L. C. C. CLEVELAND. James Eadie has made all preparations to remove and rebuild his establishment at a more favorable location as soon as the building season opens. He wall have a range of 20,000 feet of glass in fine shape when the work is completed.

We are thinking of building a boiler pit and the same will have to be blasted in the solid reek. We would like to know if anyone has experimented with steam boilers by placing them on top of the siound. b. B. H. There are many ranges of glass heated by steam with boilers on a level with the houses. With such arrangements steam traps are used and the return water discharged into cisterns or reser- voirs sunk below the level of the returns, from which it is pumped back into the boilers. For this purpose boiler feed pumps can be used or the returns may discharge directly into a tank or reservoir to which a steam trap, which works on the vacuum principle, is attached, which will return the hot water directly to the boilers. For plants which are small the steam trap is very satisfactory when there is considerable drop in the returns, and when the boiler pressure is main- tained above eight pounds. Few of the traps work on a pressure of less than six pounds. For very low pressures there is no successful system which returns the water to the boilers except the grav- itv system unless other power, such as electricity or an auxiliary steam boiler, is maintained to run a pump to feed the return water into the boilers. If it is practicable, maintain a gravity svstem. L.' C. C. DOBBS FERRY, N. Y. The regular meeting of the Dobbs Ferry Horticultural Association was held Saturday evening, February 27, with President Henderson in the chair. There was a prize given for the best flowering plant grown in not more than a 6-ineh pot, which was awarded to C. Wilson, for Primula obconica. Other exhibitors were Mr. Kasberg, Mr. Boreham, J. Bradley and T. D. Lee. Mr. Noodle and Mr. Knifl were the judges. An interesting discussion followed on the culture of the exhibits, in which almost all the members present took part. A schedule was made for the exhibition to be held on Tuesday, June 14. It was voted that this exhibi- tion should be free to the public and that exhibits should be sold on consent of the exhibitor and the proceeds be given to the Dobbs Ferry Hospital Association. ; A. C. Field, Dr. Todd and B. Huston were elected honorary members. 50,000 PIERSON FERNS!

As regards soil, etc., it may be stated that the tulip delights in a nice rich light soil,, and, when potting, leave the top of the bulb level with the surface of the soil, and do not press loo firmly. The great point in forcing tulips, says a writer iu the Gardening World, is to be sure that the bulbs are well-rooted ere commencing to force, as on this point much of their successful cultivation de- pends. The Due Van Thol varieties are the earliest for forcing; these are -too well known to need description. A tulip well worth forcing iu large quantities is Mon Tresor, a variety with large, rich, golden- yellow flowers of very attractive appear- ance, which can be bad in bloom by Christmas easily; moreover it grows to a good height (11 inches). Pottebakker White, too, is very effective, as is Canary Bird, a rich, beautiful yellow. Proser- pine, a rich, dark, silky rose, should not be omitted from the list. One of the finest for pot work is Vermilion Brilliant, which does not belie its name, and is worthy of a place in every collection. The writer has also found Bacchus a very useful variety for forcing. Then Cottage Maid and Rose Gris-de-Lin are both liked, their colors being so delicate, yet very distinct and pretty. Both re- spond readily to forcing. La Reine is too well known to need any description. L'Immacule, too, is a nice, early white variety, and is not expensive ; while to those who desire a first-class tulip, Joost Van Vondel White is a lovely variety, albeit rather expensive. Pink Perfection is another variety of great merit, with its beautiful deep pink flowers, and is always appreciated. Keizerskroon is very effective, with its bright red, yellow- edged flowers. Three very fine scented varieties much liked are Prince of Aus- tria, a delightful orange-shaded scarlet variety, and a nice, tall grower; Thomas Moore, rich orange, and Golden Prince, both of which latter are well known. The writer forced all the above-men- tioned varieties last winter, and they did so well as to merit another trial this year. In connection with tulip forcing, one often hears the cry of short stalks, but the writer averted this by the use of inverted boxes and pots to fit over the other boxes and pots, thus drawing the stems. In conclu.sion, the writer must not omit to mention Murillo, a double tulip. Double tulips do not, as a rule, "catch on" like the singles, but Murillo, with its fine double rose and white flow- ers, more like a peony, is always wel- come. Mt. Clemens, Mich. — Robert Klagge is preparing to put up three more houses as soon as the weather will allow. He has his carnations and violets in fine shape. He still grows violets in bottom- less pots, something the average grower used but one year. Bay Shore, N. Y.— H. L. Patthey has a good thing in his Gov. O'dell carnation. It is a strong grower, free bloomer, with perfect flower and strong calyx. The color is a clear light pink. He has an- other variety, named Successor, which he proposes to put on the market next .vear. It is a cerise pink of good growth, fine flower and very long stem. It is much like the olel William Scott in ap- pearance but a much larger flower and better iu every way. Anonymous queries cannot receive at- tention. Names and addresses are neces- sary.

I want to build two houses, about 15x60, to ruu nearly east and west, one for carnations and one for general stock, with [lotting room at the west end, which will help to keep off the cold Avind. What would be the best way to build tliem, separate or attached, and what kind of wall would bo best; glso what size boiler and how many pipes to keep the temperature up to 60 degrees when outside it is 16 below freezing. I want to use brick flues in case we have extra cold snaps, but 16 is the lowest we have had here for six years. G. J. S. In niv judgment the ridge and furrow plan w'ill' prove most satisfactory for two houses of the dimensions stated, to be used for stock demanding tempera- tures so near alike. Experience has made me an advocate of a nine-inch brick Avail laid in double courses, with air space between the courses of brick, using a header course every fifth course, and a header course on top directly under the plate or gutter. A three-piece cypress gutter with cypress sash bars and a \- shaped valley between the houses sup- ported on 2-inch gas pipe, the ends of which have been split and flattened by a smith to form a Y into which the gutter will fit will form suitable supports, pro- vided the bottom end of the uprights arc set firmly upon a stone, brick, or cement base. If, after the gutter is lined up, a concrete base can be made about the base of each upright by filling in for twelve or fifteen inches with soft con- crete, which should be allowed to harden before the weight of the gutter is al- lowed to come upon it, a most satisfac- tory foundation will be secured. Such supports should be at least as close as six feet apart. For your climate and houses of the size you mention hot water heating Avil; prove most satisfactory. The houses can be piped with one 2-ineh riser runiiins under the ridge and dividing at the far end into twelve li/i-inch return pi]iOS, ■which can be distributed under the benches or along the side wa.lls, as maj- seem most convement, always allowing at least one extra pipe under each of the benches next to the outside walls. The boiler should have a capacity for at least 1.000 feet of radiation and should be arranged to work on the pres- sure system, with an expansion tank at- tached to the return near the boiler and opening into a forty or fifty gallon ex- pansion tank located at least ten feer above the highest point in the flow pipes. The highest point in the flow pipes should be at the point farthest from the boiler, or where it subdivides to supply the returns. Ij- C. C. Grand Rapids, Mich,— C. E.

The Weekly Florists^ Review. an MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Handling Seedlings. lu concludiiicr my notes last week I said I would like to sa,v something more about the care of seedlings. Seeds do not certainly need the light to germinate, for nearly all are hidden from the light by the covering of compost of some kind, but as soon as they are above the ground light is very essential or they will draw up and be spindling, and that is a poor start for them. Especially is this true of the dicotyledons, which includes the vast majority of our flowering plants. So, when above the ground, the fullest light should be given them. A tempo- rary shade during the brightest hours of a sunny day is of benefit, for it prevents a sudden and severe drying out which would not be at all desirable, but you don 't want them under glass that is whitewashed. Asters, marigolds, phloxes, balsams, ten-week stocks, dianthus and all that class of annuals you will be sowing now and if you have sown thickly, which we are all so guilty of doing, the little plants, in spite of all the light and air you can give them, will quickly run up an inch or so above the soil before the seed leaves are expanded. As soon as the character leaf begins to show, it is time to transplant them into the flats from which they are sold or planted out of doors. The more room you can giv- them when transplanted, the stouter win they grow. Some may want an inch and a half apart, some two inches. This is when your asters begin to take up sonic space in your benches, but it is after Easter by that time and your congestion is over and cold frames and hotbeds have come into use. Transplanting. Just a word about this operation of transplanting the seedlings. In that well- known book on market gardening, "Gar- dening for Profit." by Peter Henderson, he impresses on the gardener the neces- sity for what he calls "firming" the soil round the roots of such plants as cabbage and cauliflower when putting them into the field. Transplanting these little flowering annuals into flats of 3 inches of soil, or maybe a bed or bench, is the same in miniature. It is no use to elaborate on hon- senselessly this is often done, or how not to do it. Make the hole in the sod large enough so that the roots can go down straight, and deen enough so that the roots and stem will go down and leave the seed leaves al- most lying on the sod. Don 't squeeze the soil at the surface tight around the little, succulent stem, the watering will do that, but get your dibbling stick down where the roots are and be sure the soil is compact round the roots, where they can at once take hold. I have seen several thousand little asters pine and grow yellow, because a big tall man punched the soil around the stem at the surfare~tind let the roots hang in va- cuum. Excuse me for alluding to cabbage and laiiliflower in tlicse notes, but iir. Peirce, of Waltham, Mass., says that cauliflower is simply a cabbage with a college edu- cation and the great Dr. Johnson said it was his favorite flower. The Cobaea. There is that free growing summer rlimber, or vine, that we have to grow, Cobiea scandens. With us April 1 is plenty time to sow it. When it gets growing it grows so rampant that we lose control of it and it is none the better for planting out with too much growth inside. If you don 't know which end of the seed to squeeze into the ground, then sow it edgewise, not flat. Push each seed into the soil till the top edge of the seed is even with the sur- face and keep in a house at .5.5 to 60 degrees. When the true leaf begins to show, pot singly into 2 or 2^4-inch pots and later shift into 4-inch. There is always a demand for this quick-growing empty space in your sand should be al- lowed now, for cuttings put in now will not bother you till after the Easter rush, when bench room is available. If you need them, put in all you can of coleus, achyranthes, ageratum, santolina, lemon verbena, heliotrope, lantana, in fact all that class of plants that enter into your spring trade. If you grow Hydrangea Otaksa as an Easter plant, you will have propagated some young stock, perhaps two months ago. Don't leave them in 2%-inch pots to draw up into lanky plants. The foun- dation of a good plant for forcing is laid now. Shift them into 3% or 4-inch pots and pinch out the crown of growth and give them room to make lateral growth as they need it. A light bench and 45 degrees at night is enough. Easter Plants. Easter is getting so near that it is uppermost in our minds and a few words about the principal plants for that all- important time seem unavoidable. We fully expected after three and a half months arctic winter that March would be mild and winter would be gone, or going. It is not so with us. Snow, ice and cloudy days are still with us and this makes all the difference with our crops. It is too late now to give any ad- vice, for everything is under glass. Early as Easter is, it seems after all to New Form of Boston Fern Originating with A. E. Mauff, Denver. climber and the price we get for it makes it more profitable than many things. High Time to Propajate. As the season advances there will be more sun heat, with the temperature of your houses higher, and less fire heat, with the sand of your propagating bed cooler. This is the reverse of favorable conditions for propagating nearly all soft-wooded plants and therefore no suit the majority of the crops quite as well as if it was fifteen days later. I can only mention some plants whose con- dition I notice and think about right at this date, March 14. If the largest buds of the Crimson Eamblers are just show- ing color they are all right. If the buds of the Japan lilies are beginning to point downwards they are none too soon and don't put them into a cool house until the buds are about ready to expand. 812 The Weekly Floristfi' Review. RUkcu 17. 11104. Tulips, hyacinths and other 'bulbous stuff you have only just brought in. If the sun shines they will be all right in a cool house; if cold and cloudy they may want 60 degrees at night. Don 't be late with that beautiful double tulip. Murillo. It wants to bo out several days to show its satiny pink shade. If azaleas are showing color they are just right ; if too forward put them in a cool, shaded house. A bright, sunny day, if not shaded, makes them jump. Rhodo- dendrons will do if just now showing color. They drop tlieir flowers quickly and you don't want them a day too earlv. Spirsea (astilbe) with the very earliest of their flowers showing white, will be all right and they are wonderfully im- proved if each plant is stood in a saiicer and some liquid manure is constantly kept in the saucer. Lilacs como on so fast that you are not likely to be late with them, but they last a long time in a cool house, so get them out. Every year we have sold 6 or 7-inch pans of double vio- lets. Don't lift them till the last mo- ment, for they are never as good as the hour or day you make them up. If you had Lawson carnations in Ci-inch pots_ with a dozen flowers or buds, how they would sell. William Scott. CARNATION NOTES-WEST. Preparation for Easter. Two weeks from next Sunday Easter will be with us and, as usual, you will year than it is at Christmas. Not only is it easier to get the blooms open on ac- count of the increased sunlight and the natural strong, quick growth the plants always make about this time, but it is not so dangerous to the health of your plants. Raising the temperature at this time of the year is not so apt to injure your plants or make the stems weak, be- cause the plants are more robust and growing stronger than in midwinter. Not only do they suffer less, but they will recover quicker. That is, of course, providing you do not overdo it. To raise the temperature 20 degrees and keep it up there for a week would go a long wav toward ruining your plants for a good spring crop. You can get as many blooms to open by raising the tempera- ture 10 degrees as you can by raisins; it 20 degrees, and it will not injure 3-our plants. If you have not commenced to feed reg- ularly you must prepare to give your plants a little extra food during this pe- riod of forcing. The soil will be pretty well exhausted and unless you supply a little extra in the way of a liquid or a ton dressing the blooms will come out small. A sprinkling of wood ashes would be an excellent thing-, or a light dressing of sheep manure, about a good handful to every four plants. If you have neither of these, you can give a dose of liquiil made of cow manure once each week. Also see that there are no dry spots in the beds near the steam pipes or along Carnation Imperial. — Haines. this high tompei-ature is red spider. After this long continued firing and in- frequent syringing you will most likely find a spot here and there near the steam pipes where a few spiders kept themselves hidden all winter and are now multiplying rapidly, and unless you get rid of them at once you will find it a hard task to subjugate them when the days are bright and warm. This spell of raised temperature would give them such a start, too, that it would tax your efforts to the verv utmost to head them off. With saving up the blooms you should proceed much the same as j'ou do at Christmas, only you cannot save them quite so long if the weather is warm. They come quicker and they go quicker. Whatever you do, don 't hold back a lot of fine blooms which would bring a fair price until they become a lot of trash and will not only bring a trashy price themselves, but will injure the sale of your good, fresh blooms. In short, try to be fair to your plants and your cus- tomers. A. P. J. Bauk. want to cut about four times as many blooms during the week previous as you do during ordinary weeks. It is a much easier task to do so at this time of the the edges. That will tell on the quality as quickly as anything when the davs are bright and warm. Another thing you should look for before beginning with ROSES. Composting the Soil. As soon as the frost is out of llie ground the selection, collection and com- posting of soil for planting purposes should begin. This work, when left till near planting time, does not give the compost time to get thoroughly incorpo- rated and put into the condition that the young stock requires to draw its food supply from, and consequently if too fresh the young plants have to remain in a starved condition while the food is being prepared by the process of decom- position. The quality of soil being of para- mount importance, its selection should be accompanied by careful, intelligent study and a thorough knowledge of the re- ((uirements of the different varieties to be grown. A stiff, fibrous loam is the most suitable for most of the varieties at present cultivated under glass, and this should, if possible, be taken from old pasture land which has a good, grassy sod. The top spit, six or seven inches deep, is the richest part and contains the most fiber. It is therefore the best and, when this can be obtained in quan- tity, it is preferable to going deeper. This should be put into a neat pile on ground a little above the surroundin<^ level and well decomposed cow manure added in the proportion of four of soil to one of manure for such varieties as Bride, Bridesmaid and Ivory. For Beau- ties and Meteors it can be made even a little richer. This should be allowed to lie for at least three weeks before being chopped up. After bcincr chopped it should be allowed to lie for about ten days and then turned over. The turning over should be done, if possible, during bright sunny weather. Turning the pile over two or three times will pre%-ent weeds from growini^ and put the compost into that hearty and mellow condition so dear to the grower's heart. The young plants will then im- mediately go to work when benched. Soil collected during the spring and handled thus is preferable to that col- lected during fall, as it does not sour so fiuickly and is not so liable to produce that objectionable crop of green scum on the surface.

WORLD'S FAIR LANDSCAPING. [Read before the St. U.uis Florists' CIu!). March 3. b.v J. H. Hadkinsou, Superintendent of Florieultiu-e. Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion.] Landscape gardening, what is it ? I will try to answer this question. To some it implies a mansion or palace on a corner lot, or surrounded with a few feet of lawn, probably a terrace with a line of balloon-trimmed trees along the curb and another band of grass. To others it means a stretch of lawn with geometrical curves, angles, beds, etc., with statuary, fountains and trimmed trees as adjuncts, and to another class it is nature as near as can be, with a little of the art of man added, which very seldom improves it. This latter shows the hand of civiliza- tion in its progress, if so we may call it. How often in this style of gardening do we find trees and shrubs planted as if the planter was afraid of his first at- tempt and tried to hide by planting others in close proximity, Wby not show the characteristic growth of the plants or shrubs? Is it because the planter is sup]dying the stock and needs to place a large bill before his client? Better plant to give a future effect. There are other questions I might ask. Does a person plan a large dwelling or building without consulting an architect of repute? Why does this stop here? Is it because the owner can get his work done by men whose interests are of a financial nature and end here, never tak- ing into consideration the future gi'owth of these trees and shrubs? TMiy not em- ploy a person whcse previous training lias been in tliis line and who can bring out, by planting, the prominent architectural features of the building and also block out by planting all uusiglitly objects in the distance and even close by, giving the desired etfects and taking in by vistas, etc., the surrounding beauty spots? Why are homes crowded dose together on small lots? Is it because this country is small? No, I say, but why is it? If I could allot this, I woidd give every person at least half an acre, so their families might enjoy freedom and fresh air. However, I am leaving the part I wished to speak of off, naturalistic gar- dening. I can cheerfully quote the say- ing of Eichard Bothe, "that the ulti- mate American will become heir to all tile good qualities of his ancestors," therefore, as the boundless natural re- sources of our country continue to guar- antee prosperity there is hope that the present century will yet witness the dawn of a new era of triumph for Amer- ican science and art. As for the art of ornamental gardening, let us rejoice in our progress, but let us also realize that much more is to be learned in the nat- uralistic than in the formal line of work, I cannot close my paper without a few remarks on the progress of the land- scape gardening at the World's Fair, St, Louis, where many styles of this work will be found. The English, French, German, .Tapanese and even the depart- ment of landscape gardening and the de- partment of horticultural, have their dif- ferent styles, where visitors may choose or criticize as they deem best. The landscape department has achieved quite a success in the work around the cascades, which ought not to pass with- out a word of recognition. The sunken gardens between the Mines and Metal- lurgy and Liberal Art buildings, also the garclens between Transportation and Ma- chinery, come in for a share of praise. The sites of the Agriculture atid Horti- culture buildings are surrounded by a tract of land given up to the department of horticulture to plant with exhibits of shrubs, trees, plants and grass seed, and which was plotted by this department and is now mostly planted, except the exhibits, which are to come in seasonable weather a little later. The whole tract comprises seventy-three acres, the build- ings covering twenty-six acres, leaving forty-seven acres to be divided among exhibitors and their exhibits placed in as pleasing a manner as possible to give a good appearance when finished. During the latter part of April, 1903, work was commenced by this department on this tract, which was then clay hills and banks, to subdue it and get it In proper shape for planting exhibits. This was up-hill work, as engineers, contract- ors, graders and others were working and endeavoring to get ahead with their work and ahead of each other, so each could make a showing, and the results of this at the present time is that everything is in fine condition for the finishing touches in the spring. Twenty thousand roses were planted by this department, which made as fine growth as six feet, Paul Neyron plant- ed May 13 made four feet three inches. Shrubbery was planted as late as June 12 and all has made a remarkable growth. The first bed of roses, a circle of fifty feet diameter, was planted when steam graders were working all around, and the next bed was planted a quarter of a mile away. By this you will understand what difficulties had to be bridged over when 814 The Weekly Florists' Review^ March 17. 1004. commencing. At tlie present time every inch of the ground has Been edvereii with from three to sixteen inches t)f good black loam, as necessity required, and lawns of moS-s'y grass have aj)peared in places which were clay mounds. East of the Agriculture building is located the rose exhibits in this sec- tion, six acres in extent, being contrib- uted by many nurserymen. Adjoining this is a section given up to conifer ex- hibits. Directly north of the north main entrance to this building is located the floral clock, which has a dial of 100 feet in diameter. This dial will be planted with flowering and foliage plants. The minute hand is fifty feet long, and last, but not least, will keep time, the minute hand moving six feet every minute. The mechanical working of this clock will be revealed by doors in the tower opening at each hour. It will also strike, marking the hours and half-hours. Electricity * will make it possible to see the time by this floral feature after darkness sets, for 2,000 lights are dispersed over the dial. On the west side of the Agriculture building, north of the center, will be massive beds of cannas, gladioli, cala- diums and dahlias, in extent from 400 feet to one-half acre. South of the cen- ter on the west side of the Agriculture building, on a two-acre tract, will be located the wild flower section, these flowers varying from nymphaeas to opun- tias. Fall flowering perennials will be prominent in this planting, also the beautiful autumn foliage. Returning to rose gardens, we will journey south adjacent to this section. On the south are collections of shrub- bery and specimen lawn trees. Farther south, northeast of the conservatory and southeast of the Agriculture building, the aquatic sections are located, the larger being one acre in size and 800 water plants will be used, mostly nym- phceas. The space between the Agricul- ture and Horticulture buildings will be given over to formal treatment. Flower THE GULLETT ESTABLISHMENT. We present this week two views of the greenhouses of W. H. Gullett & Sons, rose and carnation growers, of Lincoln, 111. One illustration shows a partial exterior view ; the other shows two new iron gutter carnation houses, the one nearest the camera being the Lawson house in full crop. Gullett & Sons' place consists of twenty-two houses and about 80,000 square feet of glass, mostly devoted to the production of cut flowers, which are shipped principally to the St. Louiu market. The firm has some very fine fancy carnations, Adonis, Pros- perity and Enchantress, as well as most of the good standard sorts, and grows some fine Brides, Maids, Meteors, Perles, Ivory and Golden Gates; also two houses of American Beauties. THE GLADIOLUS. The following is an extract from a paper re- ceutl.y read, before the New Jersey State Horti- ;ultural Society by Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y. While I do not claim to be an author- ity on the gladiolus, I do lay claim to being the most enthusiastic growc-r in the country, and I think justly so, too, for annually I have thio confirmed by amateurs, seedsmen and professional growers who visit my fields, leaving them reluctantly and always with the re- mark that they have never seen better quality and in such quantity. Being an enthusiast and having ex- perimented with almost every known type of this flower, with varied results, naturally I have found some strains so much superior to others that I am con- strained to more especially refer to them. It is an acknowledged fact among all growers of summer flowering plants, shrubs and bulbs, be they professional or amateur, that there is no flower grown which requires so little attention and care, and so limiterl a capital commen- surare with tlie results, as the _,;l idiohis. Althougti it is a llcwer which is espe- cially adapted for indoor blooming after the buds are well developed in the gar- i'.: Ill iniH»Bisi i«"i)«jT="1Si 'jinuii ■ ^v^^<» ■ aw^pc/ratK.:^ Carnation Range of W.

A terrace 500 feet long, with promenade along entire length, will be treated formally. PlEKRE, S. D. — The American Mush- room and Greenhouse Co. has been licensed to incorporate with $300,000 cap- ital stock. den, still a most maguificent display can be secured by planting en masse or by the use of this flower as a background for continuous blooming dwarf annuals. With a succession of from two to three plantings about two weeks apart, there would be no lack of bloom during the entire season in our northern climate, and with more plantings, our flower loving friends in the south and warmer climates could prolong the blooming season. When but a boy on the farm I be- came especially interested in the glad- iolus, noting the many attributes which combined to make it one of the most popular and valuable of flowers. Little did I think, however, at that time that there were such possibilities in the de- velopment of the size and beauty of the flowe^, strength of spike, vigor and vi- tality of corm as has been accomplished. From the common red varieties, with a few inferior light and mixed colors of a few years ago, have been realized by the hands of the skillful scientific hybridists, thousands of the largest and most gorgeous colored flowers, and in some strains the small flower of a few years ago is now the exception. With the idea of securing the highest quality possible, naturally, without the knowledge since obtained, I turned to the high-priced European and American novelties as a basis for a large collection. Many of the former, however, for the first one or two seasons, would produce magnificent results, but afterward, owing to some unfavorable climatic conditions, or to supposed improper breeding, such varieties would show deterioration not only in the size of flower, but in the size and strength of corm as well. 1 have spent in one season as much as %1,000 upon one variety, paying for the same in the neighborhood of 50 cents each for the corms, to find three years after but thirty bulbs left. A most magnificent flower and well arranged upon the 5pike, but not of suificient vitality to prosper even under the favorable conditions which my fields afforded. This same va- riety, protected and coddled like a sick child, has been retained by a few grow- ers. Then, too, the multiplying qualities of most of the novelties of both foreign and domestic origin have been so meager that it would take many years to increase them suflBciently so as to place them -within the reach of .other than the wealthy. Whereas, with the new hybrids, the reproductive qualities have been strengthened so that not only quality but quantity is as readily secured, there- by placing them within reach of the masses. I remember very well my first experi- ence with that old red variety, Brench- Icyensis, which is generally considered to be a very rapid multiplier, but which, ■ompared with some hybrids with which I am most familiar, is very slow indeed. It is unusual to find more than 100 cormels attached to this old variety, while upon the new hybrids it is quite the rule to find hundreds, and these, too, from bulblet planting. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that many growers of this queen of flow- ers have become discouraged and dis- gusted with its cultivation, after having secured at high prices varieties bearing the name of some distinguished person or place, and at the same time a most en- ticing description, to find that these lauded varieties are chance hybrids, the work of bees, butterflies, etc, and not the result of the work of the careful hy- bridist, with whose extended experience and knowledge of the proper selections of parent plants, these same hybrids or their counterparts could be secured, and of such vitality and vigor that the liability of deterioration would be remote, com- pared with the chance hybrids which in most strains are the rule rather than the exception. In making the above statement I do not wish to be understood as taking the position that all named va- Makcii 17, 1904. The Weekly Florists* Review. 8J5 A Partial View of the Establishment of W. H. GuUett & Sons, Lincoln, lU. rieties are chance hybrids, for there are many which have been secured by careful work and are a credit to the hybridizer. Nor do I say that there aTe not some fine creations secured, the result of pol- len-carrying insects. The percentage of worthy varieties thus produced, however, is very small, and the parentage of even these too questionable to rely upon. The fundamental points of excellence to which the hybridizer directs Ms at- tention are beauty, qualit.y, purity of color and a constitution able to produce healthy and vigorous growth under cli- matic changes, consequently in working up to his ideal, many fine specimens have to be discarded, which, under most favor- able conditions, might be retained. These points of excellence, of course, are not considered by the honey searchers, and there are few hybridizers whose standard of quality is so high but that they retain many varieties lacking some of these attributes. My principal object in making these statements is to impress upon you that it is not always the highest priced bulb which gives the best results, for from a system which is quite contrary to the general rule which has been followed by gladiolus hybridizers, there have been ob- tained strains the quality of which far supersedes many of the high-priced named novelties, which strains, by reason of their prolific multiplication the grower has been able to place upon the market at exceedingly low prices. These strains can be multiplied by the purchaser with little fear of deterioration. But a few years ago, and even today among many flower enthusiasts, the blue gladiolus is unknown, while there are to be had many shades of this color, em- bracing also delicate hues of lilac, helio- trope and clematis, enhanced and re- lieved by wonderful stains and blotches. The foundation of this strain is the spe- cies Papilio, and although the flowers are small, compared with most commercial strains, yet, through crossing, larger and more magnificent flowers are being secured yearly, which is sure to make this strain most popular. ANTHURIUMS. This genus of warm greenhouse or stove aroids are mostly natives of the West Indies and tropical America and form one of the most handsome and at- tractive groups, both as regards flower aud beauty of foliage. The intensity of color and brilliancy of some of the flow- ers, such as A. Scherzerianum Veitchii, is unique and startling, and has been named the flamingo plant, from the fancied re- semblance which the flower and stem bears to the head and neck of that bird. This variety must not be confounded with A. Veitchii, a white variety intro- duced in 1S77 and grown more for the beauty of its foliage than for its flow- er, which is inconspicuous. A. Scherzerianum is also a very hand- some and striking variety, with intense scarlet spaths three inches long and two inches broad, and has an orange colored spadix, compact habit ; height, one foot. A. Scherzerianum maxipium is a very fine variety with brilliant scarlet spathes. which measure nine inches in length by four inches in breadth. A. splendidum, which is grown for the beauty of its foliage, is quite distinct from any otbers of the genus. It is a noble looking plant and would grace any collection. There are many hybrid or garden va- rieties which are beautiful in foliage and flower and are quite as easily grown as the species. They all require a warm, moist temperature, and until the plants are well established a good deal of in- telligent care, which is amply repaid by the beauty and lasting qualities of the blooms and by the gorgeous tropical ap- pearance the wealth of foliage gives to a house. As a parlor or window plant during the summer they are unsurpassed. The method of culture which seems to suit nearly all the species and varieties, whether grown for Ijeauty of bloom or foliage, is nearly as follows: The true condition of atmospheric nioisture seems to be essential for this class of plants, and any one who wishes to be successful in the culture of these aroids will have to study the climatic conditions which they enjoy in their na- tive habitat. The soil or compost in which they thrive best is composed of two parts fibrous peat broken into pieces of about half an inch square, one part fibrous loam of the same dimensions, and one part sphagnum. To this should be added some broken potsherds, some char- coal aud some silver sand. The pots must be perfectly drained, so that all surplus water may escape freely. The roots must be carefully spread out and the compost worked in between, keep- ing the crown of the plant a couple of inches above the rim of the pot, the com- post to form a sort of a mound leading up to the crown. They must be syringed frequently and the atmosphere of the house kept moist. They succeed well in a temperature of 6.5 or 70 degrees and after the season of growth is past a partial rest at 60 de- grees for two months will do them good. Some of the less tender varieties even succeed in maturing their growth and flowering at this temperature. Af- ter being potted they should have a light shade until growth is commenced. Propagation can be effected by seeds, but the process is so slow that it is not very interesting, requiring about a year from the time of fertilizing until the seed is ripe and another year before the plants are fit for anything. The usual method employed is to divide the crowns during January and treating them much in the same manner as the old plants. 816 The Weekly Florists' Review. Maucii 17, 1004. As they are moisture loving ))lants, tliey must have copious supplies of water at all times, ami partii-ularly during the growing perioii, whieh is during spring and early summer. Kibes. A CENTURY OLD. The Koyul IIortiLuItural Society of Great Britain was organized March 7, 1804, and the Gardeners' Chronicle com- memorates the centenary by a special is- sue containing a story of the long and honorable career of the society and sketches of the founders, all fully illus- trated. As the historian concludes, "in spite of all its vicissitudes the record of a hundred years is decidedly inspir- ing. The second century opens well and hopefully. The future of the society, in so far as the advancement of horticulture is concerned, will depend upon the prac- tical recognition of the fact that no real jirogress is possible without the exten- sion of scientific knowledge and its ap- plication to practice." TRICYRTIS HIRTA. Herbert W. Greensmith, who has charge of Dreer's hardy garden at River- ton, N. J., writes as follovi-s to our English contemporary, the Gardeners' Chronicle : The recent notes on Trieyrtis hirta were very interesting to me, as this beautiful" plant does well here without very much trouble. All it asks of us is to give it a semi-shaded place to protect it from the burning rays of our summer sun. If planted out in the open the fierce light first burns the ends of the leaves and ultimately the stem, till by the end of August the whole plant is alriiost ruined. It will, however, even chen send up shoots from the base, and attempt to flower; and should we have a prolonged fall, it will do so bravely. But jilanted where the sun will not strike it till towards evening the result is very gratifying. If not disturbed for two or three years it then grows four to five feet high, and produces from thirty to forty of its quaint but prettily s]iotted flowers on each stem from the summit and axils of the leaves, during the latter part of September and Octo- ber, for four weeks, or even longer, if there is cool, clear weather; I have known them to last into November. It is not at all fastidious with us as to soil, growing equally well in sandy and moderately heavy but w^ell-drained soils. I have never had occasion to use any peat, and the plant has been left unprotected during the winter months when our thermometer has shown a tem- perature of 3 degrees below zero, but has received no injury. I have found it to give most satisfaction when closely divided each year to single crowns or from autumn-struck cuttings, which give the same results. These I plant as early in the season as is possible about six inches apart each way in a solid bed; thej^ then grow about a foot high, and for four weeks or more in the fall are a beautiful sight, being one complete mass of prettily spotted white-and-purple flow- ers. I have had as many as twenty-three fully developed flowers on a single stem at one time from plants thus gi-own. Another advantage in keeping them dwarf in this way is that they can, if necessary, be easily protected from early frosts, and thus massed" in a solid bed are much more effective than a few iso- lated plants would he. Cuttings of the growing tips taken in the fall root very readily if inserted in sand and placed in a cold frame in a box or pan. Propa- gated in this manner, I never care to risk them during the first winter without protection. The tops will die down at the approach of severe frosts to the newly-made callus, from which springs an eye for next summer's growth. Wo have also a variegated variety im- ported as Trieyrtis macropoda variegata. The flowers are not very conspicuous ; jierhaps this is on account of its not l)eing so happy as the one previously mentioned. This variety flowered in May, and produced large inflated pods, and afterwards purplish-black fruits. Towards autumn the foliage is prettily striped with white, so I should judge, from the Dictionary of Gardening (Nicholson's), it is T. maicropoda striata. NEW YORK. Carnition The Belle. The Market. The market has not yet improved greatly. The cloudy weather has had its influence on the quality of shipments and stock is not up to the mark. Quoted values cannot be considered arbitrary. Often it is " take what you can get. ' ' The supply is far in excess of the regular demand and nothing is happening now to create an unnatural call. Notwithstanding a generally expressed fear that there will not be enough lilies for Easter to go around, the cut flowers are selling at from S cents down. Ad- vance orders for pot lilies are being booked generally at 12 cents. Inferior stock may go at 10 cents then, but 12 cents may be safely banked upon as bottom for first quality. A few bright days last week relieved the violet congestion and many thousands were cleared at $1 per 1,000. There have been very few harvest days for the street merchants during the severe win- ter. Now their day has come. Its a good thing for the cut flower market. These gentry whom we all decried as a menace in tlie old days, we now realize to be a great help under certain circum- stances. Southern narcissi are coming in thick and fast, lowering prices still further. The bulb growers have just cause to feel disheartened. Tulips are simply of no account, except a few fancy doubles. Sweet peas are here in floods. Carna- tions are abundant and prices sagging. The very best of these and roses always find a market, but even the select never go above the pi ice quotations. An exami- nation, however, of last year's prices at this date is interesting. Quotations last March 25, were Beauties specials, $15 to $25; Brides and Maids, $6 to $10; carnations. 50 cents to $8; lilies, $8 to .■flO; violets, 20 to 40 cents; smilax, $10 to $15 and valley, $1 to $2. The general inerage is about the same as now. Rose Night at the Club. The New York Florists' Club's reg- ular meeting took place on Monday even- ing, it being rose night. The attendance was about 100 and many were doubtless kept away by the severe storm. The reso- lutions on tlie death of Ernst Asmus were read and embodied a touching and beauti- ful tribute to his memory. Mr. Sheridan, of the dinner committee, made a very satisfactory report. Mr. Nugent, of the entertainment committee, received evi- dence of the club's appreciation in a special appropriation of funds. The out- I ing committee reported complete arrange- MAncn 17, 1904. The Weekly Florists* Review, 817 ments for the summer festival. E. A. Asmiis, of West Hoboken, and Henry May, of Cliatliani, were jiroposed for membership and Jos. Hayden, of Floral Park, was elected a member. The exhibits of roses included vases of Golden Gates, by Eobert Simpson ; Chatenay, by Peter Eeinberg, of Chicago; La Detroit, by E. G. Asmus ' Son ; Uncle John, by Peter Eeinberg; Liberty, Brides and Maids by John H. Taylor, of Bay- side; Maids, by Frank L. Moore, of Chatham ; Brides and Maids, by Henry Hentz, Jr., and Gen. ilacArthur, by John N. May and A. Farenwald. A vase of the "whito Lawson, grown by Chas. H. Allen and exhibited by the F. R. Pier- son Co., and a vase of red seedling carna- tions, by J. M. Cooper, of West Grove, Pa., completed the exhibits, which were all of the very highest quality. Eobert Simpson 's paper was entitled "The Eose Grower and his Problems," and was listened to with intense interest. It proved to be most fearless, instructive and original. It condenses the problems of twenty years ' experience. He advis- ed the production of high grade stock, even if efforts were confined to the grow- ing of but one variety, so that this may be grown first class and so establish 'a reputation for doing things well. He spoke of the lelnetance of buyers to take up a new variety and considered this an injury to the business, advising a greater variety for the flower loving public. He suggests the resumption of some of the old favorites, mentioning especially Hoste, Watteville, Papa Gontier and Bon Silene. A. Farenwald gave an interesting im- promjitu address^ referring particularly to Liberty and La Detroit, to his svs- tem of disbudding and destroying infer- ior flowers to the end that perfection might be attained, declaring that only by keeping the standard of roses high could the place at the head of the pro- cession be maintained. The danger of the carnation taking the lead was des- canted on and a hearty invitation to all present was given to attend the meeting next week of the Rose Society at Phila- delphia. Antoine Wintzer. of West Grove, Pa., gave a practical and interesting talk on the history of the rose and especially of Golden Gate, one of seven sent to the Dingee & Conard Co., in 1885. by Robert Little, of New Orleans. He gave a his- tory of the rose since 1870, and its prog- ress, speaking especially of the Duchess of Edinburgh, Papa Gontier, Perle des Jardins and American Beauty, of the ditficulty of estimating the value of a novelty and the wisdom of an experi- mental station for the careful trial of all new roses before their dissemination. He especially commended the Crimson and Philadelphia Ramblers and Dorothy Perkins for outdoor culture and for Easter forcing. After Mr. Heller, of New Castle, Ind , was introduced, Mr. 0 'Mara gave one of his practical and witty talks. The en- tertainment committee did itself proud by a liberal supply of the best the mar- ket affords in the line of refreshments. The club's exhibition nights arc a fea- ture that merit perpetuation.

Carnation Lady Bountiful. Friends of Wm. Tricker, the veteran water lily specialist, will be pleased to know of his engagement with the Per- oival Roberts' estate, at Narberth, Pa. Robert Bottomley. dear to Asheville conventionists, has located at Bernards- ville, N. J., with Senator Drydeti. Anton Schultheis, of College Point, has again been appointed school commis- sioner. Evidently he made a good rec- ord and they had to have him for a sec- ond term. J. F. McConnell. of New Rochelle, manager for L. M. & L. A. Noe, met with a nerve racking experience last Fri- day night, which included an interview with a burglar and the loss of about .$200. A $300 diamond brooch was dropped in the gentleman 's haste to close the session and the silver was overlooked. The entry was made from the upper win- dow while the family were dining, and Mr. McConnell could not induce the visi- tor to "stay and have something." Lewis A." Muller, of the Noe force, has been in line with the rest of the boys ; home a week with the grippe. i The New York Cut Flower Co. holds its regular meeting this week. Charles Jlillang. whose conservatories have become such an extensive adjunct to his business, employing, .four men con- stantly, started this line of wholesaling in a small way some eight years ago. Mr. Millang has added to his ofiice force and has secured the whole floor above his wholesale cut flower department for a special Easter display. Eugene Dailledouze has only good things to say of the Detroit convention. Ho brought back, among other things, a touch of lumbago. John Scott has throe houses filled with the Scottii fern in all stages of develop- ment, from myriads of runners to 14- inch tubs and specimens that for per- fection of shape and complete retention of variety and strength of foliage can- not be excelled by any fern in cultivation. It is such a prolific reproducer that or- ders which were not promised to be filled before June 1, will go out early in May. Thiee years ago last October there was but one plant of it, with four fronds; now there are three houses 1.50 feet long crowded with it and after Easter the en- tire Flatbush plant will he utilized for it and Scottii will reign supreme. I saw a single order on Mr. Scott 's books for .$1,000 worth of large plants from a Fifth avenue florist for fall delivery. Mr. Scott has about 8,000 pots of as fine lilies as I have seen this season, car- rying from five to fifteen flowers. There have been several cases of prim- rose poisoning lately. Mrs. Warendorff, the florist and mother of florists, has been the principal sufferer. Charles Weathered has been confined to his home for some weeks with a severe attack of rheumatic gout, but is convales- cent and was able to attend the club meeting a short time on Monday even- ing. The New York Market Florists' Asso- ciation met 'on Tuesday evening for con- sultation about the use of a large tent for market purposes during the spring and summer season, the intention being to cover the entire block at the old stand. The shamrock will be greatly in evi- dence on Thursday. The morning papers report an "unprecedented consignment of them from the auld sod." There is an annually increasing sale for the plants in the city stores. Wm. C. Krick, of Brooklyn, removed May 1 to his new establishment. 1164 Green avenue, giving up his retail busi- ness. In the wholesale factory he will have new and modern machinery for the 8J8 The Weekly Florists' Review. March 17. 1904. manufaoture of his letters and novelties. The Tree Planting Association is agi- tating the idea of extensive tree plant- ing in the streets of New York from a health standpoint. Madison seems quite like old times again, -nith Arthur Herrington home from his English voyage and William Duck- ham recovered from his long and severe illness. John I. Raynor's lieutenant. Mr. Smith, has added to the prospective wholesalers of Twenty-eighth street. The boy and mother are doing well, and Mr. Smith can now attend to his bowling duties with renewed courage. The Easter show and sale at the Her- ald Square exhibition hall has been abandoned. The growers did not take to the idea. S. R. Wiley has opened an attractive store at 9.52 Madison avenue, an excel- lent location. Bowling. The Bowling Club will have another prize night contest JIarch '2S.

Austin Shaw. BOSTON. The Market. Business in cut flowers continues ex- tremely dull. Flowers are coming for- ward in increasing quantities, with a very light demand. There is little prospect of any betterment before Easter and the present season promises to be far from a lucrative one for members of the craft. The weather continues very cold, in marked contrast to a vear ago, and plenty of snow and ice still remain. Fuel bills will cut a big hole in profits and the winter of 1903 and 1904, with its severe cold and seventy-three days ' continuous sleighing, will not readily be forgotten. Roses are coming in of better quality, particularly in the case of Beauties, ,$40 per 100 being top price for them. Brides and Bridesmaids are $6 to $10 for the best. Meteors are cheap, nothing bring- ing over $4, while Liberty has varied from $2 to $10 according to quality. A few Golden Gate, Morgan, Mrs. Oliver Ames, Perle and some nice hybrids are seen, the latter principally Jacqueminot, Magna Charta, Brunner and Mme. Gab- riel Imizet. Carnations of ordinary grades are worth about $10 per 1,000. Fine Lawsons are sold for $2 per 100. Fair Maid and Enchantress bring $3, although some have been sold lower. ■ Very few bring over $3. Large quantities are being handled by the street fakirs, who also have a full line of roses, violets and bulbous stock. Double violets seldom reach over i-- cents per 100 and $1 secures 300 of the finest Princess of Wales. These are placed on the market in very large quan- tities now. Bulbous stock continues de- cidedly ' ' druggy. ' ' Pansies, daisies, myosotis, wall flowers and other flowers suggestive of spring are becoming more in evidence. Opinions vary as to the supply of lilies for Easter, but there will proba- bly be an ample supply for the demand. Prices are still problematical. Disease appears to be very rife still, especially in the Bermuda stock. Some years ago L. candidum was quite considerably grown for the Boston market, but owing to dis- ease was dropped and is now rarely seen. During the past few years some of the private gardeners have taken this in hand and with north of France bulbs have no disease whatever and the spikes carry from eight to fifteen flowers. It would pay some of our enterprising florists to The Kramer Trophy. grow batches of this finest of all white lilies for another reason. Various Notes. At Horticultural Hall on March 12, Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., spoke on the gladiolus, devoting considerable attention to Meadowvale Farm, where seventy acres of gladioli are grown, 10,- 000 bushels of bulbs dug and over 100 hands employed. Mr. Cowee declined to state wliat fertilizers he used in his field to produce good bulbs, but said a mix- ture of three parts bone and one part ashes was good. There will be no lecture at Horticultural Hall on March 19 and 26, the hall being let for an automobile show for the former date and the spring show occurring on the latter. A delegation of twenty-five from the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club visited the Oakes Ames and F. L. Ames estates, at North Fasten, on March 8. Further excursions on field days will be held during the season. The annual grand spring exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society will open March 24, closing on the 27th. Everything points to the show being the best held for many years. E.xhibitors from outside the state will be particu- larly numerous. Special features will be orchids, hard-wooded plants, bulbous stock, cyclamens, cinerarias. Rambler roses, etc. Many of the new carnations will be shown. At the last meeting of the Boston Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, on March 16, there was a large attendance. Several new members were elected. The lecture of the evening was by Irving T. Guild, on landscape gardening. At Prof. C. S. Sargent's estate, in Brookline, Mass., there is at present a magnificent display of imantophyllums, big specimen plants in large pots and tubs carrying a dozen or more spikes each of their gorgeous, orange-colored flowers. The death roll among shrubs promises to be an unusually lengthy one this sea- son. Evergreens have suffered severely, many being killed outright. Deciduous shrubs are also badly killed, the much planted California piivet again being cut to the ground. Bostonians are sorry that the carna- tion convention is not coming to the Hub in 1905, but will welcome it in 1906. W. N. Craig. BALTIMORE. Bowling Contest. The Philadelphia and Washington bowling teams journeyed to Baltimore on Monday night to play in the three- cornered match for the silver cup offered as a prize by F. H. Kramer, of Wash- ington. The boys from the capital put np a good game, but Philadelphia played better and Baltimore bowled best, so that the handsome trophy will stay with them. After the contest the visitors were en- tertained by the Baltimore craftsmen. Elaborate preparations had been made for the event. At the conclusion of the re- past E. A. Seidewitz took charge as toastmaster. The principal speaker was E. Morgan, president of the first branch of the city council. Responses were also made by Captain Ernest, of the Wash- intrton team; Captain Gibson, of Phila- delphia ; Captain Seybold. of Baltimore, and others. It was an occasion long to bo remembered.

The Market. The ground hog certainly knew his business when he returned to his winter quarters after a look at the sun on the second day of February. We had our sis weeks more of winter, and are on our seventh week. The government weather man says that real spring may be ex- pected any minute, but the only way one would know that it is March instead of an average January is by consulting the calendar. The continued cold weather is having the result of retarding production in the greenhouses and helping to tide us over the quiet season preceding Easter with- out a serious glut. There are, indeed, enough flowers, with the possible excep- tion of Beauties, and prices have been weak, but the market has cleaned up on the staples pretty well right along. The process of accumulating a stock for Easter will from this on undoubtedly cause a steadily rising market. Shipping demand continues fairly brisk and steady, and local trade has improved in the last few days. Qualities are good in almost all depart- ments. Beauties are the scarcest item, although few Meteor roses are to be had; indeed, they are nowadays not often called for, the inquiry being almost al- ways for Liberty, of which there are plenty if shorts are allowed to count. Long Liberties, like long Beauties, seem almost always short of the demand. Brides and Maids are equal to all re- quirements. Carnations are in good crop, but cleaning up fairly well. Prices have stiffened slightly in the last few days. Bulbous stock is selling slowly. Callas are still a glut and there are lots of Easter lilies, many of them of indiffer- ent quality. The less said about violets, the better; it isn't a pleasant storv. Smilax is scarce, but asparagus is in large supply. Easter points to big business, as many inquiries for prices are coming in. In general it is thought last year 's list will prevail, at least for advance quota- tions. There are sure to be quantities of lilies, but many of them will be poor; Harrisii show much disease. Roses will be in fair supply, but there is likely to be a shortage or select stock. Many growers report decreasing cuts of carna- tions, so that there is no likelihood of too many for Easter; in fact there seems to be no limit to the quantities of good stock this market can take at moderate figures. Pickled stock won't go at all. Don 't pickle. A good many lilies have been sold for local delivery on the plants. There vrill be large stocks of bulbous plants in pans and azaleas are plentiful and well flow- ered. There are a few hydrangeas and Ramblers and plenty of primulas, etc. There are not many growers of this class of stock and few novelties are of- fered. Various Notes. Speaking of general market conditions, E. E. Pieser says the season 's results are about on a par with last year, except that fancy carnations have not brought to within twenty per cent as much as last season, and violets are off probably fifty per cent in total sales. C. M. Dickinson, manager of E. H. Hunt's, has returned from a two weeks' trip to Los Angeles to look at the prop- A Bench of Brides at the Establishment of the Bcnthey-Coatsworth Co., New Castle, Ind. erty there in which he is interested. He was well pleased with his trip. W. E. Lynch, of the same house, is also back from a trip to Hartford, Conn. P. J. Foley is a director of the Allen Gold Mining Co., with mines in operation at Anaconda, Mont. Paul Kreismanu has sold the Morton Grove Greenhouses to N. C. Moore, of Batavia, 111., who will take possession at the end of the season. It is one of the largest plants in this locality. Last week's club meeting was held at Winterson 's, twenty-six being present. P. J. Hauswirth and W. N. Rudd con- stitute a committee appointed to look after a hall suitable for both the exhibi- tions of the Carnation and Rose Socie- ties next February. The club met last night to hear its report. The George Wittbold Co. is putting up a number of Easter decorations in the State street stores. Wietor Bros, are cutting large quan- tities of choice carnations; they had 18,- 000 last Friday. E. F. Winterson spent last Sunday visiting growers at Milwaukee under the ehaperonago of C. C. Pollworth. He says that all the stock there looks good but none of it better than the roses of his host. E. H. Hunt, who bought out J. A. Lynn 's birch bark ware business, has made up a large stock of this popular Easter specialty. The bark itself seems of particularly fine quality this season, and these goods, are now made up in many attractive shapes. They report a fine trade on it. Poehlmann Bros, report that quite a number of their lilies, like those of other growers, will be too late for Easter, but that the stock is good. They are now getting 12 to 14 cents for fancy Golden Gato roses. The Pictorial Printing Co., at Aurora, in which O. P. Bassett and C. L. Wash- burn are largely interested, had a nar- row escape from fire last Sunday. The plant represents $160,000. Weber Bros, are being congratulated on their success with lilies. They are all longiflorum and a very even lot. George Eeinberg's store has been re- arranged and is in better shape than ever before. Their cut has been steadily iucreasing until they were badly handi- capped for space. Peter Eeinberg has accepted the demo- cratic nomination for alderman in the twenty-sixth ward, and will enter upon an active campaign. The ward is nor- mally republican by SOO to 1.000, but ilr. Eeinberg is expected to win. Cer- tainly no better candidate could have been selected and every florist in the ward, of whom there are many, will get out and hustle for him. It will be a great advantage to the trade to have him in the council. Visitors: S. S. Skidelsky. Philadel- phia; E. S. Thompson, South Haven, Mich.; C. R. Hills, Grand Rapids, Mich. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. A brisk snowstorm gave the city a wintry look at the beginning of the week, slightly retarding crops and adding to the coal consumption at a time when it was thought the worst was over. Roses are more plentiful and, as they appear in slighter demand, prices are easier. Other flowers are about as at last report. Great quantities of bulbous stock are bought at low figures. The event of the week is the shamrock pots and pans offered by W. K. Harris for St. Patrick's day. The department stores bought them in large quantities and the retail florists in smaller numbers, though in the aggregate they consumed a great many. Easter Plants. The outlook for Easter is that azaleas will be plentiful and of extra fine quality. Lilies wOl be offered in fair quantity, but it is probable that really fine stock will be in short supply, with prices rang- ing from 12 to 15 cents a flower. Sev- eral large lots have been sold as low as 8 cents, but it is doubtful whether the grower made a profit on these transac- tions. There will Be many belated lilies, more it is feared than usual. Spiraeas promise well. Hydrangeas of good qual- ity will not be plentiful, except at one place. There is a fair supply of rhodo- dendrons, genistas. Crimson Ramblers, white daisies and pot roses are numerous. 820 The Weekly Florists' Review. March IT, 1904. Bulbous stock will be plentiful. There is a noticeable increase in what might be called the centralization of Easter plant sales. Peunock, Niesscu, Eeid and the Flower Market are all offering choice plants, which should prove a great con- venience to the buyers. Various Items. The American Bose Society will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thursday of next week at Hor- ticultural Hall, in connection with the State Society's spiing show. It is hoped that Messrs. Anderson, Andre, Beavis. Burton, Campbell, Farenwald, Heacock, Knorr, JJortensen, Myers & Samtman, Palmer, Weiss and our other noted rose growers will uphold the local honor against all comers. The Florists' Club will give a banquet on Wednesday even- ing in honor of the Rose Society. The department stoies continue to do a surprising amount of decorating. The Wm. Graham Company embellished Blum Bi'os. ' store last week, while Hugh Gra- ham made fine displays at Girabel 's and Lit 's, both of which were in evidence this week. The Germantown Horticultural So- ciety held its March meeting last Mon- day evening. There was a nice display of blooming plants in great variety. Al- bert Woltemate showed Spanish iris, quite an Easter raiity. W. P. Peacock, of Atco, N. J., the essayist of the evening, was unable to be present. His paper on dahlias arrived .iust at the nick of time l)y special delivery. It was a clever ar- ticle, well read by the secretary and re- ceived a hearty vote of thanks from the society. A number of questions asked will be forwarded to the essayist. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society held a business meeting on Tuesday even- ing to arrange details for the show next week. The note in this column referring to the J. Wolff Moore Co. 's dinner decora- tions, should have read .1. Wolff Moore. The business is carried on individually and not by a company. Paul Berkowitz, of H.' Bayersdorfer & Co.,, returned on Monday from a verv successful business trip. Wm. J. Muth, of C. F. Edgar & Co.. has just returned from a trip up the state. This tirm is much encouraged by their March business. Berger Bros, are receiving fine carna- tions from Davis Brothers, of Bloomsr burg. Their scarlet variety. Crisis, is verv effective. B. Eschner, of M. Bice & Co., is back again from his second trip, with which ho was much pleased. Edward Eeid has lisrhted his basement throughout with electricity. The new rose cellar shows to great advantage under th^ bright light. Hugh Graham has a fine stock of aza- leas in all sizes. Phil. ST. LOUIS. The Market Trade has been ver.y quiet the past week in all lines except funeral work, which seems plentiful. There is noth- ing of special importance going on in the social section. Milder weather enlivens the outlook for spring trade. The plants- men, landscape gardeners and nurserymen are preparing for a very busy season in their lines and many of them report plenty of orders ahead. During the past week a great influx of fakirs was noticed. They came from all parts of the coun- try, no doubt drawn here by the near approach of the opening of the World 's Fair. All the downtown corners are lined with them, selling violets and car- nations. This is not much to the liking of the downtown storemen, who are up in arms. A committee called on the mayor to see what could oe done in order to stop this great nuisance and he has promised to look into the matter at once. The beautiful bright and balmy days we have been having of late will be very conducive in getting the blooming plants in fine shape for the Easter trade. ~ This stock at the present time promises to be fine, especially that of Schray, Beyer, Fillmore and Windier in the south end and Young, Sanders, Felter and Jablon- sky in the west end. These gentlemen have a reputation for having fine blooming plants for Easter trade. In cut flowers, stock of all kind is very plentiful and prices on all gi-ades are down. The market has never been better supplied as to quality and variety. We see today (Monday) a fine lot of Har- risii, tulips, Dutch hyacinths, lily of the valley, California violets, roses and car- nations. All three wholesale houses are stocked up for all demands, at prices in reach of everybody. Shipping trade is good. American Beauties with long stems are somewhat limited as yet, with the price ranging from $3 to .$5 per dozen. For the others the price is according to the length of the stem. Brides and Maids are of fine quality, with the select in good demand at from $6 to $8 per 100. Other grades sell slowly at $2 to $3 per 100. The same may be said of Meteor, Liberty and Golden Gate. Perles are soft, with very little call. Carnations are increas- ing in quantity. Common sorts bring $1..50 to $2. First quality are $3 and fancies run $4 per 100. Qualitv is of the best, with fine long stems to suit any buyer. In bulb stock Harrisii have taken a drop to 15 cents, with the market fair- ly well supplied with good, clean stock. Callas are also plentiful and so are tulips, Romans, valley, freesias, daffodils and Paper Whites. These go at prices to suit the buyer of large lots. California violets and sweet peas are altogether too many for the demand and are sold very cheap in order to make room. Smilax is in big demand but very scarce, at prices ranging from 15 to 20 cents per string; $2.50 and $3 per 1,000 is asked for com- mon ferns. Various Notes. The S. A. F. executive committee which met here a week ago selected Music Hall for the meeting place and the east nave for the trades' display. Both of these are in the Exposition Building at Thir- teenth and Olive streets, which President Breitmeyer says is second to none for the purpose. During the meeting the local club recommended Charles A. Kuehn, whose portrait appeared in our last issue, as superintendent of the trades display. The gentleman was duly confirmed. Mr. Kuehn has already received a number of applications for space and it would be well for those who intend to make dis- plays to communicate with him at once. His address is 1122 Pine street. Mr. Kuehn is at present hard at work making a plan of the floor space in the hall. This will be ready in about ten days and will be sent to exhibitors. Another good move of the executive board was the reappointment of Phil Hauswirth to supervise the bowling contest and Eob- ert F. Tesson the shooting. A great many prizes for both of these contests have already been promised. With the assist- ance of Carl Beyer, the local chairman on sports, these contests will be in good hands. The St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville, 111., through its president, Dr. A. S. Halstedt, send your correspondent a few blooms of a new red seedling carnation, a cross between Crane and Bon Homme Bichard. It certainly looks good and has the habit of the latter in stem and calyx, which speaks well for it. Mr. Halstedt says he will exhibit a number of blooms at the next club meeting. Charlie Kuehn and Otto Koenig visited Max Herzog last Sumlay. They found Brother Max getting along nicely, but not yet able to leave the house. Miss Tillie Meinhardt, who attended the carnation meeting at Detroit, in com- pany with Mrs. M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., and afterwards stopped a week with Mrs. Vesey, returned home much pleased with her trip. The death of Walter Kreitling, at Chicago, was a great shock to his many friends in St. Louis, who are with me in extending to his family our heartfelt sympathy. Beports from the family of Carew Sanders, who had a severe surgical opera- tion performed two weeks ago, is on the road to recovery, to the gratification of his many friends in the trade. Nie. Himmer, out at Meramee High- lands, is making preparations for build- ing four new greenhouses this spring. Each will be 2.5x100. Nic is sending in a fine lot of violets, both single ami double. A new floral establishment is to be opened this week by J. W. Dunford, president of the St. Louis Carnation Co., of Clayton. The store will be lo- cated at Broadway and Franklin avenue, in Johnson 's drug store. It will be in charge of Miss Jennie Bepeto, who just left her cousin. Miss Badaracco, at 1308 Olive street. John Steidle, of Clayton, left Sunday night in company with Fred C. Weber, for West Baden. Ind., to be gone about ten days. Bowlins. Next Monday night the Florists' Club team, composed of C. A. Kuehn, A. Y. Ellison, Carl Beyer, Theo. Miller and J. J. Beneke, will bowl a match game with E. W. Guy's Belleville team, at Wor- den 's alleys. The return match is booked for the Sunday after Easter at Belle- ville. The Florists' Bowling Club's two teams rolled a match of five games on Monday night. Some extra fine work was done, as the following scores will show: Team Xo. 1. 1st. 2ER & GRFSENOORF, Cop. Tnobj A- Western ivs., Rogers Pk., Chic ago WANTED.

The carnation meeting of the Ken- tucky Socioty of Florists was held at Jacob Schulz's residence Tuesday night, March 8, and brought out a very large attendance of florists and ladies who came to admire the beautiful new roses and carnations which were sent from the different growers. The tables on which they were shown were beautifully arranged. Breitmeyer's Sons' new rose, La De- troit, and Peter Eeinberg's new rose, Uncle John, were the centers of attrac- tion and were admired by all who saw them. F. Corner & Sons Company showed their new carnations, Lady Bountiful and The Belle, which were considered the coming whites. Baur & Smith's vase, of Indianapolis, a beautiful pink, took the eyes of everybody. E. G. Hill Company, of Eichmond, Ind., showed a vase of Adonis which was well done and much admired, also their vase of Lawson was hard to beat.

"Will some one please tell me through the Review how to go to work to build a pit that will be water tight in low land, to set in boilers for greenhouses? E. S. H. It is a very difficult matter to build a pit to keep water out. It is much easier to build one to hold water. Proba- bly as nearly a waterproof pit as can be secured would be obtained in the fol- lowing manner: Excavate a pit at least two feet larger on all sides than is de- sired and make the excavation at least a foot deeper than desired. First lay a concrete floor consisting of broken stone, sand and Portland cement in the fol- lowing proportions: One part of cement, two parts sand and five parts broken stone broken about one to two inches in diameter. Mix all thoroughly and moisten sufficiently to make sand and cement adhere to stones, then tamp firmly. Lay a floor composed of such material at least four inches thick over the entire pit. After it has set (har- dened) coat the surface with a mortar composed of one part cement to three of sand, to the depth of one-half to three- quarters of an inch and on top of this build the walls of the pit, laying the stones or brick in cement mortar and plastering the wall with a good coat of cement mortar similar to that used for surfacing the floor. Do not replace earth about the sides of the pit until the wall has set and the plastering on the out- side is hard. It should be done, how- ever, before the cement mortar dries sufficiently to check. L. C. C. LorasviLLE, Kr. — C. H. Kunzman has a new carnation support which he pro- poses to put on the market. It is three stakes carrying two rings and is collap- sible, making it very easy to handle. 826 The Weekly Florists' Review. llAliCH 17. l'.Ml4. NURSERY NEWS. AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSERYMEN. Pres.. N. W. Hale. KnoxvlUe. Tenn. : Vlce-Pres. P. A. Weber. St. Louis; Sec'y. Geo. C. Seagrer, Rochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. The twenty-eighth annual convention WUI be held at Atlanta. Ga., June, lyM. The nurserymen who handle phloxes report an annually increasing business on this item. A HAEDT shrub worthy of more gen- eral use is Andromeda Mariana, some- times referred to as the lily of the val- ley shrub. At Palestine, Tex., thieves have been raiding George Eeuter's nursery. Among the stock stolen were 800 trees of the Eeuter October peach. Some of the shrubby hyperioums are useful as ground covers in many places, as they can be grown in shaded situa- tions where few shrubs will thrive. If the severe winter has killed Cary- opteris mastacanthus to the ground, the young shoots may be e.\-pected to spring up freely and flower the first season. Where Viburnum plicatum is seen in comparison with V. .tomentosum planters almost invariably choose the former; there is now only a slight difference in price. There is a constantly increasing sale for hedge plants. Any florist who can maintain a piece of well kept hedge on his grounds will find it a standing source of profitable orders. The Capital City Nursery and Orchard Co., of Indianapolis, has been licensed to incorporate with $10,000 capital stock. The incorporators are H. G. Beckner, E. A. Henby and Oma Beckner. The ginkgo, Salisburia adiantifolia, is in good demand; it is one of the best of trees for use in cities. Not only is it odd and ornamental, but it is immune from most insects and grows where the unnatural conditions are fatal to many trees. Speaking of the success which attends care in the shipment of collected rhodo- dendrons, the Wm. H. Moon Co. states that last season a customer to whom they sent a consignment of six carloads lost less than two per cent of the plants. They dig a large ball of earth and pro- tect it in damp moss. Ch.\rles a. Saddler, the well-known nurseryman of Bloomington, 111., died March 10, of pneumonia. He was, witli his brother, proprietor of the Home Nnr sery. witli which had been merged the business of F. S. Pha>nix. Mr. Saddler was a man of most exemplary character and high standing in his community and the trade. He was but 46 yeare . C ,■ - and had gained a considerable fortune.

"I DO not know, ' ' says an English writer, "to wliat extent tlie practice of raising onions under glass early in the year, to be afterwards transplanted into the garden, obtains, but it is apparent that those who have accorded it a fair trial are so enamored by the results as to have adopted it instead of the old method of sowing in the open.

HEATING VEGETABLE HOUSE. Will you oblige me by giving points about my heating plant? I have bought a new vertical twenty horse-power boiler and wish to know how to pipe my vege- table house in the best manner for steam. The dimensions of the house are 25x180, fourteen feet to ridge, with span of twenty feet to the south and eight feet boarded up to the north. E. E. B. I judge from the writer's letter that he wishes to use the house in question for the production of lettuce, radishes, and possibly cucumbers late in the sea- son. If so the temperature required by these crops will necessitate about 1,890 square feet radiation or a Si^-inoh riser running from end to end of the house under the ridge and returning by sixteen 1^4-inch returns. These may be ar- ranged upon the outside walls in coils or, if raised benches are used, small coils, say of three pipes at the south side and four at the north, may be placed on the walls, with the other nine pipes distrib- uted under the benches. If solid benches are used the nine pipes may be distrib- uted over the benches about eighteen inches from the surface of the soil. The upright boiler will require a deep boUer pit, as the water line in the boiler should be at least two feet below the low- est point in the return pipes, otherwise a steam trap or pump will be necessary to return the condensed water from a hot well to the boiler. In general upright boilers are not desirable for greenhouse heating on this account and because of the small fire box with which they are usually provided. L. C. C. MUSHROOMS IN CELLAR. In recent issues of the Review I notice W. S. Croydon's notes on mush- rooms and would like to get some fur- ther information with regard to the best way to make a start in growing mush- rooms. I have one cellar 16x27 and another 8x40 feet. C. B. In a cellar 16x27 you can have four beds, two on each side, one being built above the other. The beds would of course run lengthwise of the house and in the width of sixteen feet you can make vour benches six feet wide. As the bed is better to be away from the cold, damp wall, a space of three inches could be left between the back of the bench and the wall. This would leave a passageway three feet six inches wide up the center of your cellar, which would give ample freedom to take in and out the material for constructing the beds. In the cellar eight feet wide the benches would have to be constructed on the one side only, and to allow freedom to work could not be over five feet wide. In a very high cellar three benches could be constructed in each tier, but enough space should be left between the benches and over the upper one to give freedom to work. This would require about three feet of space. The lower bench is better to be raised above the ground sufiiciently to allow of a free circulation of air under it. In a case of limited space sis inches would do, but if a little more can be given, all the better. The benches should be one foot deep and the bottom boards cut so as to fit closely together. It is a good plan to leave the bottom boards of the upper benches unnailed, so as they can be lifted aside when making the bottom beds, those being the first to be made up, thus allowing an opportunity to get into them and pack the material with the feet. To make your cellars suitable for mushroom culture through the winter months it would be necessary to have some means of supplying heat, as this crop cannot be grown with any cer- tainty of success if the temperature faUs below 50 degrees. In a good, close cel- lar, with the assistance of the heat from the beds, a flow and return hot water 4-inch pipe ought to be sufiicient to give the desired temperature in the 8-foot cellar and double that amount for the 16-foot cellar. The pipes should be ar- ranged so that they will not be too close to any of the benches or they would dry the bed out at the point nearest, which would make the crop come uneven and might even result in considerable in- jury thereto. Now that the cold weather is over you could try some beds on the floor of the cellars, making them about five or sis feet wide and about two feet deep. This depth would be necessary to insure their retaining sufiicient heat to mature the crop. The article you mention having read pretty well covers the preparation of manure, the making up of the beds, spawning, etc., but to this I would add a warning to avoid manure gathered from stables where they use sawdust or wood chips for bedding, as there is always the danger of these containing the mycelium of fungi, which if intro- duced would work havoc in the mush- room bed. A moist atmosphere is necessary in the culture of mushrooms, but with the absence of artificial heat the necessary moisture should be easily maintained. Should the atmosphere become dry, how- ever, an occasional sprinkling of the space between the beds may be necessary and even the walls might be lightly sprinkled, but a heavy, stifling atmos- phere must be avoided. Some means of airing should be provided and a little air admitted every day when the air out- doors is not too cold, but cold draughts must always be avoided. W, S. Croydon.

Louisville, Ky. — Onion sets are prac- tically sold out here, no yellows are to be had, and but few whites. The pea and bean growers all agree that the percentage of shrink and the cost of hand picking has been unusual- ly heavy this season. From the jobbers' standpoint the scarce stocks at present are muskmelon, squash, pumpkin, field corn, _ beans, sweet peas, seed potatoes and onion sets. The board of general appraisers has sustained the protest of E. S. Porter & Co. that certain merchandise classed as seed peas by the collector of customs at New York was dutiable as dried peas. Toronto, Ont. — S. E. Briggs, of the Steele-Briggs Seed Co., and W. E. Wel- Ungton, of Stone & Wellington, nursery- men, have been elected members of the executive board of the Industrial Ex- position. The Republican of Ventura, Cal., for March 3 contained an illustrated write- up of the begonias growing on the grounds of the Theodosia B. Shepherd Co,, where many fine varieties, including Marjorie Daw, originated. The market garden trade is the seeds- man's standby. Early or late seasons do not affect it'; hotbeds are made when the time comes, regardless of weather, and a yearly order may be relied on with but slight variations. The cold weather and snow storms at the north and the planting time ad- vancing at the south makes it hard for the seedsman to make proper connections.' An uncompleted southern order is a most annoying thing at present. The longer the bad weather continues the harder it will be to properly size up the seed sweet corn situation. The gaps have not yet been tilled and no sweet corn has been grown since last fall's harvest, but a lack of inquiry caused by weather conditions has a de- pressing tendency and will weaken prices until the weather changes. The G. W. P. Jerrard Co., Caribou, Me., says that potatoes never kept bet- ter in this county than they have the past winter. No rot and very few frosted ones. They are going forward rapidly now at very satisfactory prices. Market stock is netting tlie farmers from 75 to SO cents per bushel and seed varieties are selling at an advance of these figures. The indications are that there will be quite an increase in the acreage the coming season. Oats, 50 cents per bushel; hay, $10 per ton. Maech 17, 1904.

Cut Flower Co. The plans of the United States Cut Flower Company have been materially changed since its inception last summer. It is now fully organized on a substan- tial basis and is composed entirely of conservative Elmira business men, with the exception of William Algie, who comes here from Alton, Canada, having been connected with the management of the Dale Estate greenhouses for a num- ber of years. The directors of the com- pany are Wm. Algie, president and gen- eral manager; W. E. Compton, vice-presi- dent; H. C. Mandeville, secretary and treasurer; Frank Inksater and H. N. Hoffman. Plans are being prepared and contracts let for the construction this spring on their tract of land at Elmira Heights, of a block of seventeen houses each 21x200. The King Construction Company's trussed roof with iron gutters will be used, with double purlins, thus allowing the use of light sash bars, 16x 24 glass and double rows of ventilators. Mr. King's system of steam heating will also be used, without the automatic stokers. The boiler house will be located alongside the tracks of the Lehigh Val- ley railroad and a switch run in for coal, etc. It is expected that this block will be completed by July 1. so that stock may be planted at that time and have flowers ready for market in the fall. Most of the space will be devoted to roses and carnations, with some lilies, chrysanthemums and green stuff. H. Queens, N.

For the first few years I covered them with burlap each winter and even then the ends of the young leaves were bitten, but they have been planted now about five years and are strong enough to hold their own. P. reclinata is inclined to sucker some- what here, but if it was a little more hardy it would be an ideal phoenix to plant in a limited space. P. sylvestris grows slowly with us also but is perfectly hardy. It has not the long, drooping, graceful branches of the two varieties I have previously men- tioned, but it is of a more stubby and compact growth and of a glaucous' green color. The leaves and stems are excep- tionally tough and wiry but I do not think it will ever become very popular here for ornamental planting. We have several specimens of P. pumila here and were it not so tender it would' be an ideal palm. When sheltered it grows a couple of feet a year and when ten feet high the trunk is not over six inches in diameter, after the style of a draeaena. It is very much valued in the southern portion of California but in the neighborhood of San Francisco it cannot be recommended for general planting. The same can be said of P. leonensis, which very much resembles P. canariensis in looks and habits of growth. P. tenuis is a verv graceful variety and makes a good pot plant. It is of fairly rapid growth but will not stand frost and consequentlv is not much cultivated here. The most graceful, however, of all the varieties that have to be kept in pots is P. rupicola. This variety makes splendid, arched branches, very wide spreading and is a splendid seller for a house plant. It is easily handled and good sized plants are al- ways in demand, (j. SAN FRANCISCO. Notes. The florists are beginning to wonder whether the rain will ever stop. Last month we had only half a dozen days that were not showery and this montli bids fair to be likewise. Violets are an awful glut and can be had as cheap as 3 cents a bunch, each bunch contain- ing about 200 flowers. Bulbous stock, such as Sir Watkin and Princeps daffo- dils, can be had at any price from 50 cents to $1 per hundred for the finest quality of flowers, as this weather suits them to perfection.

Mention The Review when you write. low narcissi have entirely disappeared for the season and tulips are on the wane. ' Valley of good quality is plentiful and low in price. Harrisii and longiflorum are becoming plentiful and I think they will be cheap at Easter. Eoses are scarce, owing to the continued dark weather, but there are enough to fill or- ders. The price remains about the same but will lower somewhat in case we get a spell of sunshine. Carnations are not over plentiful for the same reason anJ the price remains stationary. Freesias are getting scarce and short of stem and Dutch hyacinths are disappearing. Azaleas in bloom are not so noticeable as they were a week ago and I am afraid they will not be in their prime at Easter. Several of our largest growers had poor success this season with imported plants. They were packed too dry and when the cases arrived here both leaves and flower- buds had dropped off and to force them was, of course, out of the question, and they will have to be grown another year to get any results from them. No one but a dealer who imports from the east and Europe knows how much stock ar- rives in bad condition. It seems to be impossible to have goods packed so that they can be brought over the continent in the coldest weather and be opened up and found in good order. It takes usually about twenty-eight to thirty-five days to land boxes in San Francisco and as I said before, unless the boxes are well lined and plenty of moss or ex- celsior used we often have a big freight America 1.00 9.00 I Prosperity ... 1.40 2.50 LOOMIS CARNATION CO.

Tho house is 15x40 feet, twelve feet high on the north side and six feet on the south. I want to grow Lawson carnations and pink roses. What is the best way to di- vide the house for that purpose? What varieties of roses should I grow? Would steam or hot water bo best for heating? G. E. F. To have the best success with Lawson carnations the night temperature shovild not exceed 52 degrees, while roses, such as Bridesmaid, Golden Gate and Ivory, which would be the most suitable varie- ties for such a house, do best at a tem- perature of 56 degrees. The house shouhl be divided by a partition and an extra coil of independent pipe placed in the part devoted to roses. This style of house is a veritable sun trap and wou'd require extra ventilators to prevent earlv deterioration of bloom, and in the sec- tion devoted to carnations early shading would have to be practiced. Steam being much easier controlled than hot water, and quicker in its action, would be the best method of heating. Eibes. Barkesboro, N.

Hoxie, of Mattapoisett, is bring- ing in some of the finest white carnations that have been on the market for some time, variety Boston Market. The annual meeting, supper and elec- tion of otfieers of the Xew Bedford Flor- ists' Club was held at the Manuin House, March 10. The following oflBcers were elected: President, E. Y. Pierce; vice- president, A. B. Hathaway; treasurer, W. L. G. Brown; secretary, Wm. Pierce; executive committee, R. S. Hoxie, S. S. Peckham and James H. Cleary. A. B. Hathaway read an essay, "Violets and What I Know About Them, ' ' which was written by E. Y. Pierce and was very in- teresting. Otto Sucher is to write an essay on bulbs, Dutch and American grown, for the next meeting. Wm. Anderson, of Anderson & Wil- liams, Waltham, and Mr. Br.vant, of A. H. Hews & Co., Cambridge, were recent visitors. C. A SHADED HOUSE. I have a vacant piece of ground north of my dwelling and am thinking of building a greenhouse there, but about thirty feet of the greenhouse would be shaded until eleven or twelve o'clock. Would such a house be suitable for car- nations? M. T. O. The absence of sunshine during the forenoon would have a very weakening effect on carnations and would result in very weak stems, with flowers off color. Such a house might be suitable for palms, ferns and some kind of miscellaneous stock which requires a partial shade. To build on such a contracted space would be unsatisfactory, the conditions being decidedly unfavorable. Eibes. Winchester, N. H. — Wm. P. Flint, who, besides being a florist, was a sur- veyor, died Iilarch 5 of pneumonia. ...ROOTED... CAR^ATION ...CUTTINGS... ENCHANTRESS $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per lOOO.

Various Notes. Business as a whole has shown little change over my last week 's report. Stock of all kinds is arriving in large quanti- ties and prices are low. The forecast on the lily supply for Easter is very satisfactory. The local growers report the stock in the best of condition. The supply will be ample to meet all demands. John Bader reports a good demand for palms and ferns, and advance orders for blooming plants for Easter delivery are good. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is han- dling some very fine Easter lilies. Mr. Langhans speaks very encouragingly ou the outlook for Easter business. The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. will be in full crop for Easter. The Maids, Brides and carnations which they are now cutting are exceptionally fine. Patrick Maier is sending the Cut Flow- er Co. quantities of very fine tulips. Geddis & Blind Bros, are very well pleased with business. Their store is lo- cated near the new Wabash terminal. This will add considerably in the way of transient trade to their business. L. I. Neff has his windows filled witli fine blooming plants of his own forcing. Ch-er in Allegheny E. C. Ludwig is be- ing kept busy with funeral work. G. & J. W. Ludwig say Lent has not affected their business this season. Ju- lius Ludwig has just returned home from New Tork, where he has been buying Easter novelties. One of the prettiest and most costlv decorations of the season was executed by Breitenstein & Flemm last week. Thev transformed a very large ballroom into a garden, which was really a wonderful imitation of the real thing. The eflfeet of hundreds of illuminated Japanese lanterns swung among bay trees, palms and wild smilax, and low masses of blooming azaleas and cinerarias grouped promiscuously, was beautiful. Also bam- boo latticed pavilions covered with vines added much to the garden effect. It re- quired twenty large cases of smilax for the decoration. Hoo-Hoo. SYRAruSE, N. T. — A delivery wagon of P. E. Quinlan & Co. caught fire on a recent evening from the explosion of an oil stove used instead of the usual wagon heater. The fire department was called out and extinguished the blaze. 50,e00 PIERSON FERNS! We have 50.000 fine plants of the Pierson or Ostrich Flume Fern, in 2K-in. pots, price *8 per 100: »7S per 1000.

Burning gas in the windows to keep off the frost is unsatisfactory. Many storemen run elec- tric fans in the windows and this in a measure keeps down the ice, but it is detrimental to the stock in the window. For this purpose the Pharmaeeutisohe Zeitung recommends the application of a mixture consisting of 55 grams of gly- cerine dissolved in one liter of 62 per cent alcohol, containing, to improve the odor, some oil of amber. As soon as the mixture clarifies, it is rubbed over the inner surface of the glass. This treatment, it is claimed, not only pre- vents the formation of frost, but also stops sweating. THE USRS OF SOOT. Market gardeners around London have- the greatest faith in the usefulness of soot. Not only does it act as a rich stimulant and manure to recuperate the much-worked, and severely tasked soil, but it is a great purifier of the ground,, sweetening it, ridding it of grubs, and warding off mice. It is not an infre- quent sight to observe these districts almost black from the liberal supplies of soot which they are afforded. A& regards mice, in some gardens they are a very great nuisance ; time and again I have noticed peas on their first day's showing through the earth looking thick, healthy, and all that could be desired, when, perhaps, the very succeeding day reveals an exactly opposite state of af- fairs. One night has done the damage, and, alas! past recall. Had a good sowing of soot (I am inclined to think the thicker the better) been made either together with the peas, or sprinkled te» a full inch on the top of the row, the crop would doubtless have come up in- tact, and been safe, if protected with peaguards till the latter danger of bird attack when the haulm is swelling. Mice also attack beans quite under- ground, and an effectual remedy advo- cated by some, though a tiresome pro- cess one would ttink, is to redlead each seed. Soot, however, is efficient, and, indeed, is good for wellnigh all smaller seeds, whether cabbage, onion, or car- rot, sufficing to keep off grubs of every kind. In the case of surface sprinkling, if heavy rains wash the soil clean, n subsequent dose is easily afforded, while the black dressing will have gone into the ground to sweeten and stimulate the staple. Soot, moreover, may be liber- ally shaken upon plants themselves, ad- visedly, of course, when wet, otherwise it fails to stick, thus deterring blight, caterpillars, slugs and snails from creep- ing up and devouring the tender stalk or leaflets. I have sometimes made a ring of soot round a marrow, or other plant, which I knew a snail was visit- ing by night, and found it an effectual barrier to a subsequent visit. Both slugs and snails are "death" on young cauli- flower, melon, lettuce, and cucumber; while they are by no means averse to- zinnias, dahlias, and the annunciation lily, stripping the latter two, indeed, mercilessly, and often killing them out- right by entirely eating through the stem. Curiously enough I have never found either of them, or, in fact, any in- sect attack tomatoes, of which I annu- ally grow a large number; presumably they dislike the pungent scent they emit, or their yellow sap. — Gardeners' Maga- zine. TO REFINISH STORE FLOORS. In refiuishing old hardwood floors in stores, if the floor has been tieated with oil or varnish and has bean allowed to become very dirty and rough, V'o old finish should all be removod. With the ii<>c of steel shavings eciTv jjarticle it the old finish can be taken off. The floor may then be finished in every way as a new floor. MANCHESTER, MASS. — F. F.

Ijent has made some ditt'ei'eiicc to tragic the past three weeks and Buffalo beiiiy; the healthiest city in the world, purest air and purest water and most impure government, business has been rather dull. Still from what we hear of prices in our largest cities, we have sonu' rea- son to be thankful. Several of our large department stores are decorating for their .spring openings this week and that helps some. I have more personal gossi]i this week than usual. Various Items. Prof. John F. Cowell took a steamer for another of his West Indian trijis February 20. This time Jamaica is the destination. Let us pray that in that island of tropic heat and almost 'alpine heights he may discover some unknown gem. Wm. Slattery has severed his Conner tions with" the firm of Byine & Slatterv. The new firm may be Byrne Bros. We hope Mr. Slattery will find something worthy of his ability in our city. Joseph Stafflinger, who for several years carried on business on High street, died last week of congestion of the brain. He was a young man but very active in business and made decorations his spf- cialty. We have just had a visit from George Faneourt, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., who stopped off for a day on his return from a trip to Spokane, Wash. He has a most favorable opinion of the salubrious cli- mate of that far off state. It rains and snows most frequently in winter, but both are agreeable. The rain is a bath and the snow is warm and refreshing. No frost in the ground. Mr. Fancouit says floriculture is not as advanced in Washington as many other less virtuous industries, but that it will come with set- tled population and refinement. Sorry to say, our popular park super- intendent, Capt. James Braik, has had five weeks of rheumatism and suffered much. It is about over and he will be around as soon as the parks need him. To see this strong man stretched out and read- ing Alex Wallace's charming book. "The Heather in Love, Lyric and Lay," is a most pathetic sight, but while so well employed you feel like going to see him frequently; if reading local politics or the latest wrestling match you would not. There is likely to be all the Easter plants that the trade will need and we look forward with nervous anxiety to what the elements will give us. It would be interesting, but a sad tale, if all the floods and frosts and fires that have visited the florists could be told of this terrible winter. Out of the bitter experience of many may come good and more will in the future be prepared for very extreme conditions of flood and frost. W. S. We are in receipt of the first annual report of the board of park commission- ers of Lowell, ilass. The pamphlet is illustrated with some very handscuno half-tones. OwATOKNA, Minn. — Thomas E. Gash- man, manager of the Lord Greenhouse Co., and president of the Clinton Falls Nursery Co., has been re-elected mayor of the' city of Owatonna.

In ordering or selecting a wire frame for a broken column, have the diameter of the shaft as large as is consi^tciii with the height of the piece, and the base as wide as the price lyill allow. The wider the base or mounting of a piece, the more imposing will be its appearance. This need not add materially to the cost of the work, for if the selling price is inflexible, youi can help out the size of your piece, or rather the base, with hardy ferns; they are both cheap and effective. The column here illustrated is well proportioned. The distance across the base diagonally is two-thirds of the height of the shaft, and the diameter of the shaft is almost one-fourth the height. These are the proportions of the com- pleted piece. The diameter of the wire frame should be slightly more than one- half the diameter of the finished shaft. The reason for this is that before the carnations or other background flowers are inserted all around the frame, they will begin to push each other out on the opposite side of the column, and before the shaft is completed you will have considerable displacement of a surface which should be perfectly even and smooth. You will need to go over it two or three times again, filling in those spots where the flowers have been pushed out, and smoothing the surface. Filling the Frame Line the bottom of the base with fern leaves, as was done for the pillow, de- scribed in the issue for January 7. This is the only part of this piece to be lined. Pack sphagnum moss in rather more closely than for the other pieces, for it must be solid enough to hold the stems upright, and not allow them to work loose. Have tlie filling of the base deep- est at the foot iif the shaft, sloping to- ward the edge. The construction of the frame may indicate this or it may not. Often one can improve on the shape of the frame either in the filling with sphag- num or in the trimming with flowers and green. Next fill the shaft solid with sphagnum, leaving a depression where the column is broken at the top. The only wrapping needed is over the top of the base filling. XJse thin hemp cord laced over the top of the frame, tied at a few convenient places on the wire frame. The Break in the Shaft. If carnations are to be used for the body of the design, cut the picks for them a trifle shorter than for the pillow for you will find the space all too small for as many as will be necessarily crowd- ed into the column. But we must first prepare the flowers to be used in the broken part of the column. Sweet alys- sum seems to be the material here. Cut the sprays into different lengths, from one to three iuehts. Three or four sprays can just as well be stemmed to- gether, on one three-quarters pick. Hold the bunch of sprays irregularly up and down against the pick, between the thumb and firut finger of the left hand, and have a bunch of six-inch lengths of No. 36 wire ready between the last two fingers of the same hand. Draw out a single wire and wrap the stems in closely, down past the point where the last stem touches the pick, catching all the ends tion. There should be a sharp contrast between the filling of the shaft proper and the broken top. There are two ways of doing this: by a difference in color- ing, or, as in this case, by a different ap- pearing surface. Heie the alyssum fill- ing, by its different length sprays and its new type of flower, makes that part of the column rough and jagged and well represents a break in the shaft. Covering the Shaft. After filling in the break, begin the fill- ing of the shaft, from the top down, to keep out of your own way. In contrast to the arrangement of the alyssum, fill the carnations in just as smoothly and evenly as possible. Make this solid sur- face extend over the base, down to and around the edges, covering the sphag- num eompletcly. Keep a sharp lookout for stray bits of the moss around the lower edges and in among the flowers. Shove in the stray bits, rather than try to The Broken Column. carefully at the point of contact with the pick. Stem barely as many bunches as your sight estimates wiU cover the broken part. Rather have too few, and be obliged to stem a few extra, then have too many stemmed and a part left over. Fill in the broken end first. If flow- ers of about the same color are to be used for the broken section as for the shaft, fill it in irregularly and roughly, as shown in the accompanying illustra- pull them out. struction. That finishes the con- Trimming the Base. Next, prepare to stem the daisies and lilies of the valley to be used about the foot of the shaft. There seem to be about fifty of each kind in this piece. Stem the daisies three or four to one pick, as was done with the alyssum. Only don 't cut off any of the length of the 896 The Weekly Florists' Review. March 24, 1904. stems Leave them as long as they can oe. it IS a saving in time, though not aJways m the Iceeping qualities of the flowers, to stem all the flowers before doing any of the filUng, but it is scaree- iy praetioai for a beginner, for the work proceeds too slowly, and the waiting flowers will show the exposure. Either HJl m the background first, and set the piece in a cool room while preparing the flowers for trimming, or put the stemmed flowers m the ice box while the rest are being made ready. Keep the flowers that are waiting to be stemmed in water till the last minut*. Don't let any quantity lie around on the work table . Having stemmed the daisies in various sized groups, insert the most o'f them ir- regularly from the foot of the shaft to the nearest corner of the base, some erect against the shaft, others noddine sheathed pick m the left hand, place the flower stalk against it so that the lower end will come a little below the middle of the covered pick, and wrap with wire a« in the case of the alyssum or daisies except that the upper end of the pick IS Jett tree from the wrapping. The rea- son tor this will appear a moment later In stemming forced bulbous flowers and foliage, it will take a little careful attention to see that the wire wrapping IS drawn just tight enough to keep the stem from sliding ofl' the pick and still not tight enough to cut the tender stem fn inserting these tender stems into the sphagnum, hold by the pick and not by the stem. They are apt to break in your hand, before they are pushed in ' far enough. Catch the free end of the pick which was sheathed with the leaf, and hoW and insert the stemmed flower by it But there is still another advantage to the sheathed pick: often to hide the up- per end of the pick, a stemmed flower must be pushed into the moss so far that the visible part of the stalk looks stumpy. With the sheathed pick you can not only insert the flower in the way to best display the grace of the flower stalk, but you can have the addi- tion of a delicate touch of foliage which IS alwa.ys valuable in trimming. The circular garniture of valley ex- tends all around the foot of the "shaft through the clump of daisies. Insert the stemmed valley through the carnation background, at various angles to the base Let some swing out and bend over, while others stand more nearly erect, all spring- ing from the same circular line, but vary- ing in their attitudes. Here and there wiU appear the spear-like points of the foliage used in covering the pick, and the larger leaves that are stemmed with the flowers. Making the Garland. -^ow it is time to prepare the roses and asparagus for the garland which is to be thrown around the column. Cut a deli- cate spray of asparagus long enough to reach from the edge of the break on thr upper side of the shaft diagonally around t;ie column, and half way around the foot, a few inches beyond the edge on the left side. If it is necessary to cut the asparagus to get the correct length for the garland, be sure that the cutting is done at the large end, leaving the tip to point out the garland. Select about two dozen roses with tractable stems, in all stages from quarter blown buds to the wide open flowers. Remove about half tho foliage. Fasten a full blown rose downwards a few inches from the tip of the asparagus spray, attach the rose to the asparagus at the decisive curve of the stem, using a fine wire wrapping. Lay the balance of the rose stem on the as- paragus and Jasten again at the end. .Just above the decisive point on the first rose stem, lay down a second rose, and fasten it to the asparagus as before. Re- peat the process along the asparagus The New Shasta Daisy. spray, graduating from the full blown roses to the smallest buas. The distances between the roses will be irregular, and they will fall naturally, .some to one side antl some to the other side. Stem the blunt end of the asparagus on a three-quarters pick and insert se- curely through the carnation background, well into the moss, so that the pick will be buried deep, .just below the break in the column. With the tip end of the garland in the right hand, train it from the starting point, toward the left and diagonally around the column, till it breaks through the circle cf valley on the right side of the column at the foot, and falls a little to the left of the front corner of the base, while the fine end of the asparagus extends beyond the edge airily. Fasten the garland here and there where its weight threatens to pull it out of place, using hair pins or wire staples inserted through the background into the moss. The lowest rose should also be pinned firmly on the base. Character and Coloring. Since this is someone else's design, I can freely say that it is natural, and therefore especially attractive. The slop- ing square base is the best setting pos- sible for the piece and the position of the garland contributes to that good effect. I have seen broken columns where the break was not sufiiciently distinct to be even suggestive. Study to make this kind of a design strong and decided, so as to be recognized at a glance. In this par- ticular arrangement the break is sharply indicated by an abrupt change in the kind of flowers used, and the styles of filling them into the frame. The break occurs obliquely across the upper right hand side and top, and is indicated by the irregularly filled space of sweet alys- sum, in contrast to the smooth carnation filling of the body of the shaft. With the decided yellow of the daisy centers, perhaps pink or yellow roses would be the better colors to use. Red roses would not be a very good combina- tion with this touchy bit of yellow. The break might be filled with a contrasting color, such as pink, purple, or blue. The base might be laid in with a delicate pink, or yellow, with a white shaft. In place of the daisies and valley, there might be used long, stiff stemmed roses, any kind of lilies, tulips, narcissi, long carnations, chrysanthemums, or fine foli- age, such as adiantium, asparagus, or even catchy bunches of wood ferns. Gertrude Blair. A VIOLET GROWER SOUTH. Yes, I believe that there is such a thing as violets, but here in Florida the fra- grance of the orange trees is much more pronounced and when you have been growing violets for years the change in odor is very agreeable and you think it nuu h to be preferred, and yet I eloubt not that you could easily get an elegant suf- ficiency of this also. The wild violets are plentiful here, both in the pine land and hummocks, un- less they have been too lately burned out, the curse of eveiything nice in the state. The blue ones predominate and are beautiful though not fragrant. When you come to cultivated violets you will find that many people have one or two boxes (generally a soap box) full of fragrant single ones. I have as yet to find that any one grows double ones. I think that one of the things that strikes a northerner on coming here is to see the large quantity of window plants that people grow, or perhaps I should say veranda plants. Every house has nearly twice as much veranda as house room and a great quantity of this space will be occupied with plants, such as geraniums, ferns, asparagus, begonias, violets and salvias, and nearly the first question that you ask them is: "Why in this land of flowers and sunshine do you bother with those things; why don't you plant thorn in the ground?" But, alas for your ignorance, their summer is as bad for plants as our winter would be, only with this difference, that they would cook hel-e and freeze north. And so the good housewife spends as much time here in tending a geranium as her MakiH -^4. lilll-1. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 897 Home of Luther Burbank, the leader of American Plant Breeders, at Santa Rosa, Cal. sister in the north bestows on a palm that here would grow luxuriously in fhe o|ien ground with hardly any care at all. And so it goes this worM around; we always tliinli that we want something that wf do not have and spend our time and strength in trying to secure it. But do I hear you say that this has nothing to do with violets? You are right ; still I think if here you would be glad to ' ' wander, ' ' much as you may be interested in them. For instance, yesterday a party of three friends and myself started out in the morning in a nice launch O'l l^'kc Griffin: with our lunch and oranges in the locker.=. we ' ' put out to sea. ' ' so to speak, with no idea of seeking our homes till night. With the balmy air, our light summer clothes, in shirt waists and' straw hats, it was hard to realize that you are tied up in snow at home. We went as far as Es- meralda on the Ocklawaha river, ;ind there went ashore and under the shade of the cabbage palms we made a fire of the old dead palm leaves ami stalks and made a cup of tea to oo wi h our renast. In additon we went into a grove a little way up the shore and filled our i)ockets ■with sour oranges and made "orange- ade. ' ' If you could have seen the picture that was spread before us; the innumer- able shades of green, from the glossy deep green of the magnolias to the yellow and orange of the new "Jack" oaks; the pea greens on the live and water oaks; the cypress, with its delicate, misty tracings of green, and through and over it all the draping of Spanish moss, all of this touched up here and il^ere l^ith the dash of red from swamp maples. And then looking down the river and out over the lake in the warm, hazy distance, being able to see the round tops of the cabbage palms towering above the dim coast line like sentinels. Well, you would be perfectly satisfied to lie down and dream and forget there was such a thing as violets. There is certainly a fascination about the south that there is not in the north, and I do not wonder that the southerner 'ihinks that there is ro place like home, with its mocking birds, cardinals, tow- hees, etc., etc. It takes hold of you and iiereases in:,tead of (l?t make the mistake of putting them into rich soil to make them grow good. They do not need it, in fact, are far better without it. Some good new loam, with a little leaf soil added, if you have it, is all the plant needs in its early stages. Novelties. The novelties are generally pretty well disseminated this month and. while they will stand some increasing, do not propagate them to death and then kick about the constitution of new varieties. Some of the new ones, notably F. A. Cobbold, W. Duekham and Ben Wells, are particularly strong growers and these will stand more in the line of increas- ing than the average new kind. Donald McLeod and Cheltoni are such dwarf, sturdy little fellows that they cannot be increased to any great extent. Mildred Ware is showing a little of the leaf trouble that is characteristic of its parent, Madame Carnot, but it is vigorous enough and will grow out of it when the weather gets warmer. There are some older varieties, that, now they can be bought cheaply should be grown by everyone, for they are grand. Mrs. Thirkell, Lord Salisburv, F. S. Vallis and C. J. Salter are all splendid kinds. While the average flor- ist may not have much surplus cash, after such a winter as this, with which to buy many new things, he will find it a profitable investment to try either of these four varieties. Brian Boku. POMPON CHRYSANTHEMUMS. For Business and Pleasure. To those who have been in the habit of looking at the pompon chrysanthemum as a thing of beauty only, and have not thought of it as a profitable investment, perhaps it may be a surprise to know that there is more money in them, to a certain extent, than in the large flow- ering varieties, simply because better results can be obtained at less expense, as they do not need the attention which must be given the large flowers to bring them to a high state of perfection. First, good commercial varieties must be selected, suitable to meet the several different wants they are to fill. It is not necessarj' to have a large number of varieties. To cover the ground in a general way not more than twenty to twenty-five are required, divided in, say, two or three good whites, both early ancl late; the same of yellow and pink and one or two red or bronze. Care should be taken to select varieties suitable for sprays and bunching, of the admirable large flowering or aster type, such as make flowers from two to two and one- half inches in diameter. Among the A Plant of Nephrolepis Exaltata Scottii in a 14-inch Pot. varieties of recent introduction there is a great diversity of color and beautiful form of flowers, from those as single as a daisy to others, that are densely double, some with petals as curled and twisted as a cactus dahlia, until it seems as if every possible diversity Oi variety has been obtained. Several of the long-sprayed varieties should be selected for decorations, and a few of the small or button types for the finishing up of bunches of the large flowers, as there is nothing which gives a bunch a more perfect finish than a few of the tiny ones of the same color about the stems, or of the exquisite, deli- cate shaded singles. And in making up a box they are fine beyond description, far superior to carnations, violets, etc., and make a delightful contrast. Where the florist has a retail or job- bing trade, especially in the suburbs of large cities or in country towns, thei'e should be some of the very dwarf varie- ties grown in pots, such varieties as Globe d 'Or, Rosinante, etc. They .ire only from twelve to fifteen inches high if grown in 3-inch pots until the first or middle of August, then shifted to 4 or 5-inch pots and plunged in a frame or some position where they can be watered and fed to some extent. They will make better plants .for the critical customer than the large flowering varieties, grown either in bush form or to single stem. They are more natural looking, ea.sier to handle, more catchy, look more in keep- ing with the season and, in fact, seem to fill a long felt want better than any- thing else just at a time when they can, or at least should, be seen blooming in every garden, shrubbery and hedge along the highways and by-ways, in the mag- nificent and well-kept grounds of the wealthy or cheering the cottage of the poor, at a time when all other blooms are gone and everything looks dreary and when there is no more of the ' ' good old summer time. ' ' While they are supposed to be hardy, and a good many people think able to take care of themselves, there is noth- ing that will pay more interest on good comjnon sense treatment. Plant them once and let them take care of them- selves and you will be surprised at the amount of flowers they will produce ; plant good young plants every spring, give them good attention and you will be more than surjjrised at the amount of bloom and what good blooms you can cut. There are some few but not many autumns when the aster varieties will come to perfecliou in the open ground throughout the northern states, for which these notes are intended. The smaller varieties make a splendid ap- pearance if planted where they are pro- tected from the driving winds and rains. Our practice is, for what we want to cut for market, to plant in the field eigh- teen inches apart in rows wide enough to work with a horse, topping occasion- ally to get good bushy plants. We com- mence lifting them the first week in September, then some every week untiv frost, using a cold frame at first, or any place where they can be kept from hard frost, and later putting them in a house where a little heat can be turned on when it is very cold. In this way we have a succession of crops from early October until about Christmas. As a general thing we cut from ten to twelve good sprays from a plant, with stems fifteen to eighteen inches long and four to six flowers to the spray. For this we con- sider Prince of Wales the best white. Grown in the field they make good plants for filling beds in lawns, parks, ceme- 904 The Weekly Florists' Review. March 24. 1904. teries, etc., and what of the small flow- ered varieties are wanted can be grown the same way. When long stems are wanted, or a finer class of flowers needed, it is al- ways best to plant in a house and give the' same general treatment as that given the large flowering chrysanthemums, ex- cept the disbudding, of course; pinching back to produce about five or sis branches to the plant, when they should make stems from two to three feet long. When the object is to get tall sprays, from three to four feet, it is best to keep them to single stems, giving plenty of room that they may bloom all the way up the stems, with plenty of foliage. There is nothing finer for general decor- ative work, in fact thfy promise to equal if not become more popular than the larger flowers for this purpose, as soon as ♦he people become more acquainted with the many different, wonderful and beautiful shades in the new creations. And it will be well for those in a posi- tion to make the best use of public taste to prepare for a demand all along this line in the near future, as there promises to be a change with a large class of buy- ers of the queen of autumn. For Autumn Bedding. When the hills have laid q& their man- tle of green and all nature tells us of the approach of winter, who but has watched with saddened heart the beautiful flower beds take on a very desolate ana dreary appearance: at the first advent of the chilly nights? When the bedding plants have lost their leaves and show only bare and unsightly stalks, somewhat worse than nothing, who but has wished for something to take their place and extend the days of life and usefulness for a greater length of time? The pompon chrysanthemum is just the thing, having been grown ir the garden, along the hedges or among the shrub- bery; in fact. Some should be grown to leave there and bloom. They cafi be transplanted very nicely if taken up with care and well watered and, while they perhaps w:ll not make as fine flowers as those grown under more favorable cir- cumstances, yet they will make a credit- able appearance and will look consider- ably better than the bare stalks of the summer bedding plants. If some protec- tion is given on severe cold nights, or to keep off the rough winds and winter rains, thev will look good late in the fall. The small or button types are the best for outside bedding, as they wiU stand the rough treatment and look better than the aster types; such varieties as Gold- en Pheasant, Little Pet. Labanah and i host of others. There is an old-fashioned yellow, Drin Drin, with small flowers not much larger than the end of your finger, that does very well, planted among shrub- bery. The foliage is a beautiful glossy green and the flowers will stay on until they almost dry up, holding their color way into the winter months. The larger varieties are best for cut- ting and when it is not convenient to grow them in a house they will do very well planted along the protected side of a building or hedge. They do well and look nice planted along the edge of a porch and will, as a general thing, come quite perfect.

Mr. Ward has 7.5,000 carnation plants in benches and in 2i4 and 3-inch pots, every one of which will be used for in- door planting and not a plant in the field for their own use. The houses filled with the established varieties are in splendid condition, an average of 15,000 flowers a week now being cut for the wholesale market, all of which arc handled and disposed of by .John Young. Mr. Ward is cutting from four crim- son varieties. The President. Harry Fenn, Octoroon and Gov. Roosevelt; from three light pinks. Enchantress, Al- pine Glow and Mrs. Thayer: from four dark pinks, Lawson, Ethel Ward. Flor- iana and No. 508; from three whites, Mackinac, Lorua and Gov. Lowndes; from three scarlets. Gov.

Mr. W^ard considers Enchantress his best paying carnation and says of Lieuten- ant Peary that it is a grand white re- sembling Lawson. Two large houses here are devoted to Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, 6,000 pots and baskets being planned for to supply the Cliristinas demand. Tn one of the propagating houses are .50.000 to 60,000 evergreen cuttings, over seventy different varieties, all rooting nicely and includ- ing every popular evergreen grown iu America, and many rare varieties. Three fumigating houses have been erected, one of which is very large and with capacity for the handling of trees twenty-five feet in height. A most per- fect system for generating gas for the purpose has been established and every- thing betokens far-sightedness and foun- dation for future trade of unlimited proportions. The nursery proper consists of eighty acres, nearly all of which are already planted to ornamentals, many trees in size indicating years of growth and all of which are to be devoted to this class of stock. Imports of evergreens are already arriving and over 50,000 will be planted this spring. Mr. Ward is a great believer in the wisdom of planting strong, large, well- grown stock. A peach orchard set out The Enchantress Cup. (Won at Detroit by W. K.

A handsome sight is a block of 1.000 Colorado blue spruce three to six feet high. There are many rare sjiecimens of Japanese evergreens. There are forty acres of woodland full of nut- liearing trees, where azaleas, rhododen- drons and ground-cover plants will be grown and from the highest part of which a view of the ocean and many miles in every direction stretches out before one 's enchanted vision. - On this highest plane some day Mr. Ward will build a home that will vie with any on Long Island iu healthful and beautiful surroundings.

Progressive florists are always on the lookout for the best building materials and recently many of them have been taking up ' ' peeky ' ' cj^press for bench lumber, those who have used it having found it to resist decay much longer than pine or hemlock. The appearance of the lumber is against it as it looks as though it were wormy or decayed, the defects resembling large worm holes which run with the grain and not through it, and florists who first com- mence using it will have to take it on faith and from what the experience of others has been with it. The department of forestry at Wash- ington has not been able to determine satisfactorily the cause of "peck" in cypress. It seems to be a little pocket or cavity in the heart of the tree which is filled with a dust-like substance, pre- sumably caused by \ermiu or a chem- ical action that has taken out of the wood a certain substance that leaves this sawdust-like deposit. If it were not for this defect the lumber would be practically clear heart cypress and, as it is free from sap, it will resist decay as long as any known wood. It has been used in the cities of New Or- leans and Mobile for years for drain ]ilank and all underground work, owing to its lasting quality. I understand that the average life of a bench in a greenhouse when built of pine or hemlock is about three years. I am satisfied that a bench made of "pecky" cypress, if used for this pur- pose, will not decay in fifteen to twenty Tears and possibly longer. Messrs. Bas- sett & W^ashburn. at Hinsdale, 111., have been using "pecky" cypress for bench frames and sides since they first built their greenhouses and have benches that have been in use eight years or longer that show no signs of decay, and I am sure will bo pleased to give full in- formation as to their experience with "pecky" cypress. There are other greenhouses in the vicinity of Chicago where 1-ineh "pecky" cypress has been used for five years or more, and the benches are still in use and do not show decav. I am pleased to state that I have" sold 400,000 feet since last fall to be used in the construction of green- house benches in this vicinity. If anyone would like to have further information regarding this lumber, we could get letters from the city engineers, regarding their experience with it in gutters and underground work. In put- ting in the new drainage system in New Orleans they have used "pecky" cy- press for ail of the drain work under the streets and in excavating in Canal street in December last, they dug up a cypress coffin that was almost in a per- fect state of preservation which they figure had been interred 1-50 years. There was a coffin made of ash that was near it, but this had almost en- tirely disappeared, simply the outlines being left and a few small pieces oi the wood. We can cite you to any number of instances of the lasting quality of cypress, notably the wooden boxes in which the mummies were enclosed in the pyramids, some of them at least 4,000 "years old. Chambers' Encyclo- pedia states that the old wooden doors of St. Peter's at Rome were made of cypress and were in use 1,100 years. Maiicii 24, 1004.

In conclusion I would like to quote an article which appeared in the Lum- ber Trade Journal, of New Orleans, No- vember 1, 1901. "A puzzle well calculated to mystify the average lumberman unversed in forestry lore, is the fact that ' pecky ' cypress loses none of the phenomenal durability of cj-press by being ' peeky. ' Builders and engineers accustomed to the use of cypress in places the ravages of which are particularly trying, under- stand all about it, though, and are never slow to put 'pecky' cypress into any such places. The cavities which form in the tree and are filled with a dust-like substance, were formerly and to some extent may still be at- tributed to the ravages of vermin. It has, however, been ascertained that the phenomenon is only present towards and at the tops of the trees, and it is now believed by others to be due to deficient nourishment. Both deductions are, how- ever, mere undemonstrated theories, but whatever the cause of the freak, the fact is beyond question that the pres- ence of ' peck ' does not impair the power of cypress to resist the ordinary causes of decay in wood. ' ' C. L. Cross. A MILWAUKEE ESTABLISHMENT. Nic Zweifel is one of the largest, most thoroughly up-to-date and successful of the Milwaukee growers as well as person- ally one of the most popular men of the cra'ft in the Cream City. The accom- panying illustration shows Mr. Zweifel 's new plant, erected two years ago from plans made by A. Dietsch & Co. "While this firm 's name is linked with the short- roof style of construction, by no means are all of their houses of that pattern, and Mr. Zweifel 's four connected struc- tures are each 28x200, covering a ground area of 22.-100 square feet, or almost ex- actly half an aci-e under one roof. The side walls and gutters are six feet six inches high and there is glass all around the outside, making the houses very light.' The ridge is fourteen feet six inches. The glass is 16x18. One No. 13 Kroeschell hot water boiler heats the entire place, which, all things considered, is quite a feat. The Eeview Is the cheapest help I ever employed; always ready to help a fellow out, never kicks or has things on the dry side, all for 2 cents a week. — "W. A. Herbert, Wellsville, O. PLAN FOR HEATING. We have a boiler house 20x40 feet. Leading out from this house we have two houses 20x100 feet each, even span, solid side walls five feet high, glass gable at one end. At the end of the boiler house we have a lean-to 10x48 feet. Adjoining it are two houses 24x 100 feet each, which run alongside the other 100-foot houses. The two wide houses have no partition wall. The out- side wall has thirty inches of glass, even span, with glass gables at one end. Back of the lean-to and also against the boiler house we have another house 24x48, even span, with solid walls. We will put an entirely new heating system in these houses, about 14,000 feet of glass. We would like to have someone tell us how to put in a strictly fiist-elass and up-to- date heating plant, giving class of boiler, horse-power, size of fire box, depth of boiler m boiler pit. size of pipes, etc. We want 42 degrees in one house 20x 100; 52 degrees in the other house 20x 100, 56 degrees in the two houses 24x 100 and 60 degrees in the house 24x48. The temperature outside very seldom reaches zero. Southern Kentucky. A steam boiler with 400 feet of heat- ing surface will supply the necessary steam, at five to ten pounds pressure. Instead of using a single boiler with this amount of heating sp 'ace it would be better to secure twf>^®y .-^ller boilers with a slightly greater I'^™ ' Ig surface. Two boilers fire easier ti "'le and maintain a more constant st baYepressure than is possible with a single one, particularly if they are fired alternately. For green- house heating the simple tubular boilers, with or without steam domes, are best, set so as to work on the return tube sys- tem, i. e., the fire box under front of shell, with a flue leading to the rear and opening into the fire tubes of the boiler, which causes the heat to pass under anfl about the shell of the boiler and back through the tubes to the smoke stack di- rectly over the fire box. This scheme increases the heating surface of a boiler over the direct fire tube plan of most portable horizontal and upright boilers. The scheme requires that the boilers be set in brick but while this is an added expense it is economical in fuel and safer. There are many manufacturers of boilers of this type. The boilers should be set deep enough so the water Une of the boilers will be at least two feet be- low the lowest point in the radiating coils in the houses. If it can be placed lower, so nuich the better. The houses 20x100 feet will each re- quire one 2-inch riser running to the far end under the ridge and then dividing into ten pipes either on the walls, over or under the benches, depending upon the crops grown and the type of benches used. The houses 24x100 feet wiU each require a 2^/^-inch riser running under the ridge to the far end of the house and there dividing into thirteen 1%-inch pipes, arranged to conform to the benches and crops to be grown. The house 10x48 demands a 1%-ineh riser and five heating pipes l^/i inches in di- ameter, while the house 24x48 requires a 2inch riser under the ridge and four- teen 1%-Jnch pipes in the heating coils. I would suggest that upon at least four to six of the heating pipes in each house valves be placed at the feed end of the pipes and swing check valves at the return end, so that in mild weather these pipes can be cut out. The cost of the valves will be more than offset by the ease in regulating the temperature in the houses. I have not given dimensions of boiler, fire box, etc., because these are furnished by the boiler makers. All that is neces- sary is to indicate the number of square feet of heating surface desired, which in this case is 400, as above stated. L. C. C. CARNATIONS AT PITTSBURG. It was carnation night at the meeting of the Pittsburg Florists' Club March 15. and we had a fine meeting. The hall was crowded to the door with mem- Ijers and the tables were aglow with masses of as fine carnations as you ever laid your eyes on. Preliminary business was soon dispatched. All smoker bills of the last meeting wel'e ordered paid and still there is a "wad" in the treas- ury. One new member was elected and fifteen new names proposed for member- ship. Fred Burki says we want the carna- tion convention, 1906, for Pittsburg, and so say we all of us. It is stated that Boston wants it, but as the Hub has had it twice to our once, and as the down east boys have always been mighty fair, I don't think they will step be- tween us and our ambition. Will you, boys? You know we have the people here — 750,000 within a radius of twenty miles — and the interest, and the conven- iences and, boys, we have the bawbees, and will spend them. too. So, carnation growers all over the country, make up your mind to come to us in 1906. Now for the symposium. Our exhi- bition consisted of two long tables, one filled by our home growers. Tlie Pitts- burg Rose & Carnation Co. showed great bunches of most of the leading varieties. Blind Bros., of West View, and J. L. Wyland, of Dehaven, each showed splen- 910 The Weekly Floristf^^ Review. March 21. 1904. did blooms of leading sorts. Outside florists filled the other table with their new and special varieties and these were fine. F. K. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., sent Adonis. Enchantress, White Lawson and Daheim. Adonis is behav- ing splendidly with them and Enchant- ress acts superbly. We all fell in love with the White" Lawson. As a dark crimson their Daheim is a stunner. H. Weber & Sons, of Oakland, Md., sent some of their New Iteybreak, a fine flower and of the most chaste and delicate pink imaginable. W. J. Pal- mer, Buffalo, sent the Ked Lawson. It took our eye and our heart. What a splendid trio this Lawson family is, red, white and pink, identical in everything except color, and all colors excellent. Fred Burki got up in meeting and de- clared that the Lawson was the best all around carnation ever raised. John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, sent his namesake, also Juno, Imperial, Star of Bethlehem and No. 77. The variety named John E. Haines is a magnificent scarlet, big, perfect flowers, of firm, last- ing texture and on stiflT, long stems. Im- perial is a variegated, large, of good form and texture, long, stiff stem and excellent keeping qualities. The Star of Bethlehem is a pretty yellow. E. Witterstaetter, of pincinnati, showed his magnificent Cardinal; it is a beauty. Charles Frueh & Son, Sagi- naw, Mich., showed their pretty seed- ling. No. 115. The Thompson Co., Joliet, sent big blooms of Estelle and Fisher. Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, sent a great sheaf of as fine IMme. Chatenay roses as one could wish to see. The flowers were superb, stems stiff as pokers up to the neck and foliage excellent. It is now Sunday night, and three of these roses on my table are still fresh, beauti- ful and firm, but their stems have been shortened. And now for disappointment. Don't swear; we already have done that. Three of the finest "exhibits didn't reach Pittsburg until Wednesday morning, the day after the club meeting. These were from Peter Fisher, the Cottage Gardens and Dorner & Sons Co. Peter Fisher 'a box contained fine blooms of Nelson Fish- er and Mrs. M. A. Patten. From the Cottage Gardens came The President, Ethel Ward, Judge Hinsdale and a large number of seedlings. From Dorner & Sons Co. came The Belle and Lady Boun- tiful. Every bloom in these three lots was simply perfection. But they were not lost, ^^'e unpacked the boxes and cared for the flowers, and on Thursday evening exhibited them at the meeting of the Botanical Society of Western Pennsylvania in the large lecture room of the Carnegie Institute. All of the other carnations from distant grow- ers that were at the Florists' Club and in sood condition, likewise the Chatenay roses, were also exhibited before this so- ciety. Fortunately, it was the biggest meeting we ever had of the Botanical Society, completely filling the large lec- ture room. The members simply "went wild" over the flowers. At 10 o'clock a committee was appointed to distribute the blooms among the audience, and if you ever saw happy people in your life these were they. At the botanical meeting the subject was "Ferns." Every species indigenous in Pennsylvania was shown. Henry H. Negley collected and sent north to us over forty species from southern Florida. The Phipps Conservatories furnished plants of every genus within its walls. Henry A. Dreer sent the rare water fern, ceratopteris, and from Fairmount park and the University of Pennsylvania came filmy ferns. Miss Oberly, an artist, 'exhibited some of her handiwork in cera- mics and Madge Irvin, the artist, had a beautiful study of ferns and carnations in oil painting for this meeting and presented it to the president. Di-. J. F. Shafer, of 1044 S. Negley avenue, an interested member, has invit- ed the society out to his home next Thursday evening, March 24. to see his orchids and have a good time. And ,you bet we are going. The doctor has the largest collection of orchids between the Alleghanies and Chicago, particular- ly of curiosities among orchids, and a great many of them are now in bloom. F. PROPAGATING THE DAHLIA. As the dahlia has now become one of the principal flowers, the subject of the best method of propagation seems to have become a burning question with the trade. Different growers seem to have their own particular ideas, but beneath the facts of the case are oftentimes dis- cerned some particular reason for the diverging views. I shall, therefore, try to give the plain facts based on nineteen years ' experience. The first method, of course, was by seed. This was the quickest and cheap- est method, and as there were no double varieties, very satisfactory results were given; but as particularly /fine sorts were developed these were saved and were increased by division of roots, and where these divisions could not be made to a single eye, the extra shoots were carefully removed and grafted on to tubers of less desirable varieties. Later it was found that it was not necessary to graft these young shoots on to other tubers, and the method of grafting, therefore, fell into disuse, as it was a much quicker operation to simply smooth the cutting off and place in sand. I would state, iowever, that for many years after grc ' "g shoots into tubers of less desiraK Enchieties had been prac- tically abandontroit byes and portions of tubers were st-^^ serted on very large tubers in order t, g«t a stronger growth. Even this practite tas now been aband- oned, excepting Jot experience and pleas- ure. Propagation by seed has also been abandoned, except to produce new vari- eties. We therefore come down to the two principal methods of propagation, by division of roots and by cuttings. Division of Roots. The dahlia is really a tuberous-rooted plant and not a bulb or tuber in the strictest sense of the word, the eyes being formed on the crown to which the tubers ai-e attached. In many cases the necks of the tubers are so short that in break- ing off, or being pulled apart, eyes are attached to the end of the tuber. In other cases, the crown enlarges and ex- tends in the form of a shoulder on the end of a tuber, and in this case the tuber can easily be removed with eyes, but generally the division must be made right through the crown, removing a sec- tion of the crown containing an eye or eyes. In dividing care must be taken that the neck connecting the tubers with the crown is not broken or twisted, so as to obstruct the passage of the nour- ishment from the tubers to the eye, as it is the duty of the tuber to keep the crown and eyes nourished. If the tubers are all removed from the crown, the eyes will shrivel and wither, while if the tuber is detached, it will keep itself in perfect condition under almost all con- ditions. In many varieties of dahlias, particularly in many of the single vari- eties, the tuber is connected by long, slender necks; sometimes a heavy tuber weighing a half-pound will be connected by a slender stem or neck several inches long, to the crown, in which case they are very hard to handle, as all tubers with broken stems or necks are abso- lutely worthless and might as well be cut off. ■ The division of roots can be done at any time after harvesting in the fall un- til planting time in the spring, by experi- enced growers, but amateurs or begin- ners should wait until the eyes become prominent, which will insure every divi- sion having eyes. A great many disap- pointments have had their origin in the belief that every portion of the crown contains eyes, and all that is necessary is to divide up the clumps with simpl,y a section of the crown attached to the tubers. Tliis is a policy, however, that will never be tried the second time. The number of divisions to be made on each clump depends entirely upon the variety. Some varieties make but few eyes, and of course the number of divisions would depend entirely on the number of strong, uninjured tubers and the number of eyes on the crown. The divided tubers can be planted at any time after the danger of freezing is over, as they are placed in the ground and covered completely from two to six inches, according to the ideas of the grower. As the propagation by division of roots is comparatively slow, that is in the way of producing large quantities, or for new varieties, it is only used on the standard sorts; but to offset this, it is by far the cheaper method. Propagati'^n by Cuttings. This method is the exact reverse of the preceding. While all that is required in the former being a sharp knife and a sharp hatchet or cleaver to cut through the heavy stems, this method is a science in itself, as the result depends entirely upon the care, attention and ability of the propagator. The roots are placed in the stock bench in soil about one- third well rotted manure, and the other two-thirds should be well rotted sod, these being well mixed together, and an application of bone thoroughly worked through. This is to supply strong, sturdy, vigorous cuttings without ex- hausting the bulbs. As feeding roots are sent out from the bulbs, this is accomplished and if they are kept fairly dry, the cuttings will come strong during the entire sea- son. That this stock is not weakened by propagation, we bear out in practice every way, by showing as fine a crop of blooms on our old stock roots as can be found in the country. We are aware that many propagators use poor soil in their stock benches, but this will not give the best results. The very best houses are also required for the cuttings, and pure sand about three inches deep should be placed on the benches, firmly packed. When the cuttings have developed about three pair of leaves, they should be cut, the leaves shortened, and planted in the sand of the cutting house or cutting bench with a dibble. Here, again, jiWg- ment must be exercised, as the large March 24, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review^ 9U /'-^i^ l^vx N^^-fn^f Roots of Dahlia Kriemhilde Grown from Cuttings. cuttings must have more space than the smaller ones, and ample room must be given always to insure plenty of light and air. The best distance is about two and one-half inches apart in the rows and one-half to one inch between the cuttings in the row. These cuttings re- quire both air and light, but judgment must be used, as a direct draught would cause the cuttings to wilt, while too little air and too much water would cause them to damp off. Heating is an- other factor. We have seen dahlia cut- ting benches run vrith 80 to 90 degrees bottom heat. This is very apt, however, especially in damp weather, to cause cutting bench fungus. We prefer a bottom temperature of 55 to 60 degrees and would like the top air to be about the same as the sand. We do not be- lieve in having the sand 5 to 10 degrees above the overhead air. We find that a uniform heat of the sand and air gives stronger roots and stronger plants. When the cuttings are placed in the sand, they should be watered thoroughly, and as little water used afterward as possible. There is no set rule to go by; simply vratch the cuttings and the sand. The time of year and amount of heat required will determine the amount of water. In cold weather, when a strong bottom heat is given, it is often neces- sary to water the cutting bench every day. As we use steam exclusively, we do tliis watering at night instead of in the morning. Care should be exercised that the cuttings do not wilt in the bench. This sometimes requires one to three sprayings a day over the tops. This spraying should be done by a fine spray and not with a watering-pot, as keeping the top of the sand continually wet is apt to cause the cuttings to rot at the surface and is, besides, a prolific cause of fungus. The time required for rooting dahlia cuttings is from one to four weeks, ac- cordihg to the condition of the cutting and the variety. A skilled propagator will, therefore, arrange the watering of his stock bench, giving some varieties more water than others, and will allow some varieties to grow larger than oth- ers before cutting down. The main ob- ject is to have the cuttings of each vari- ety handled in such a way that they will aU be rooted about the same time. Another great cause for disappoint- ment in propagating from cuttings is allowing the cutting to stand in the sand too long after rooting. We pot our cuttings when about half of them show roots, the rest being callused and ready to break into roots. If the cut- tings are allowed to remain in the sand until heavy roots and sometimes little tubers are formed, they never make as good plants. The object sought is to take the cuttings out when they are in the best possible condition to make the best plants. Then, as the young roots start out, they begin feeding at once in the soil in the pot, and as they get nicely root-bound, they form heavy, com- pact clumps, as shown in the accompany- ing illustration. After the plants have been potted up in 2, 2% or 2%-inch pots, they should be placed in a house of about the same temperature as the cutting house and shaded from the direct rays of the sun for a few days, or a week, the first, second or third days not allowing the sun to reach them at all, but gradually les- sening the amount of shade until they become established in the pots, when they can stand the full sunlight. Air and water should now be given judiciously, no rule being followed, but whenever the plants require water, give it generously. Many believe that be- cause a dahlia can use lots of water, they should be wet all the time, but this is not the case and the soil should be dry after each watering before another ap- plication. Where too much water is given the plants become very soft and drawn, while good, stocky plants that are hard enough to bear shipment can only be grown by giving plenty of air and light, and only watering when required, and that thoroughly. In planting in the open ground, as much space should be given to the dahlia plant as to a divided tuber, and if this is done, the roots at harvesting time will be found to not only be fuUy as large as those of the divided roots, but for commercial purposes will be much better. By looking at the accompanying illustration, this will be seen at a glance, for in the root grown from a cutting the tubers are wound around and matted to- gether in such a way that they can be shipped long distances and handled even roughly without injuring or breaking the necks of the tubers, whereas, as every one knows who has ever handled dahlias, roots grown from divided tubers are very diflicult to handle without break- ing the necks of the tubers; in which case they are worthless and might as well be cut off. From this it will be seen that even should divided tubers give a strong clump at harvesting time, there will be less weight of actual tub- ers capable of giving nourishment than in the clump grown from cuttings, where the full amount is still in condition, hav- ing suffered no loss from handling. The main objection to propagation from cuttings is the additional cost. It requires skilled help in every branch, modern houses, pots and a large amount of labor. The benefits gained, however, are that we are now enabled to offer new varieties the third year from seed in good quantities; besides, it gives us a more compact clump, worth much more for commercial purposes, on account of standing all kinds of handling. In conclusion I would state that as propagation by division of roots is much cheaper than by cuttings, we plant hun- dreds of thousands of divided roots every year, in fact use this method on all varieties where stock permits. On new and rare varieties, and where we have not sulfieient stock to divide, we are forced to propagate by cuttings, as no dahlia grower can be strictly up-to- date and offer best varieties and still confine himself to the one method. Over-Propagation. Much has been said about the weak- ening of stock by over-propagation. We would state that any weakening of stock is done by injudicious treatment or method, for" as long as the stock benches are properly handled, and strong cuttings grown, and proper treatment given in the cutting bench, and with the young potted plants, no damage is going to be done. The roots in the accompanying illus- tration were taken from a bin of the new cactus dahlia. Kriemhilde. Our ob- ject in showing Kriemhilde is that it is a new German variety of which in 1902 we had one root for trial. We propa- gated all we could the entire season and, were so well pleased with it that we se- cured additional roots, which we placed in the stock bench for 1903. We pushed tliis stock, using every known method to multiply and produce cuttings and in a block of 2,000 plants we failed to see a single imperfect or open-centered flower during the entire blooming sea- son. It will thus be seen that instead of making a weaker root, propagation by cuttings makes fvilly as strong, without loss of vitality if properly done. In proof of which Kriemhilde has been propagated hard every year since it was grown from the little black seed, and the photograph shows the result. W. P. Peacock.

Eegarding the extermination of green- fly in greenhouses, I wish to say that many ilorists do not appreciate the value of the punk preparations because they do not know how to apply them prop- erly. It is the only thing we use in the shape of tobacco, no stems or dust being seen on our place the year around. We have large wire hooks bent like the letter S to hang on the side bench boards; on these hooks we slip on as many rolls of the punk as we wish to use in the house, being careful to distribute evenly or to bunch up where heavier ef- fect is wanted. We apply in every walk of a house and none are lighted before all are placed and ready. Then we have a person in each walk backing up with a small torch, setting the rolls afire as fast as possible. The idea is to produce an overwhelming killing effect at once, which is the cheapest and best. Now as regards strength, you can hardly overdo it, as we have never hurt any plant except Major Bonnaffon chry- santhemum in full bloom. Just now we have a bed of heliotrope in the same house with eoleus for cuttings where the temperature is 68 degrees at night. The heliotrope is as rank as can be and to kill mealy bugs on eoleus we used an enormous charge of punk for two nights in succession, cleaning the eoleus all right and doing no harm whatever to the heliotrope. This is a severe test. As to expense, it costs, but it pays if one considers his time worth anything, the appearance of his place worth any- thing, the absolute control without dam- age to any plant, be it maidenhair fern, heliotrope or spira?a, worth anything. The only plant that suffered is Major Bonnaffon chrysanthemum in full bloom. All other mums take it kindly and a kill- ing dose can be put into the mum house when flowers are fully developed. It is a good way to keep Begonia Gloire de Lor- raine clean. If infested with mealy bug they should be treated before coming into full bloom, as it might bleach the color out of the flowers a. little, mealy bug requiring an awful charge to kill them. We do no preventive fumigating. A killing dose is given when aphis shows. We find we can save money that way. For instance, our carnation house, 22x 100, was operated from August 15 to March 1 without any insecticide what- ever, also other houses likewise. To get the best results select a quiet evening, if cloudy or rainy all the bet- ter, and shut the ventilators and apply. After one hour you can ventilate at pleasure. Fred Windmiller. AN IDEA FOR ROSE BREEDERS. It is now over a year ago since there convened in the city of New York an in- ternational congress of scientific botan- ists for the purpose of discussing the great problems of plant breeding. Then there was the recent meeting of the Na- tional Plant Breeding Association at St. Louis. It all goes to show that there is now an intense interest in new methods of selection and in cross fertilization for purposes of plant improvement. Yet, se far as the writer is aware, no one has ventured to suggest the idea that it is possible to breed away the thorn of the I'ose. Be it remembered that this now hard and sharp process originally acquired by the rose as a means of defense, is no longer of any value to the plant. Thou- sands of years ago, when the rose was yet in its infancy, and when plant-eating aninuUs were feeding on all manner of ]>laut life, it must have happened that during this primitive struggle for exis- tence among the myriads of forms and .structures of jilants, that various means were adopted to preserve their existence. One species would acquire a disagreeable odor, another an acrid or pungent taste, another toxic or poisonous properties, while others protected themselves by de- veloping upon their structures stinging nettles or sharp spines, as the cactus, the hawthorn, the raspberry, the black- berry and the rose. The slightest varia- tion in structure and in habit that would prove advantageous to the species would he seized upon by natural selection and transmitted to posterity. Thus if any jdant chanced to grow upon its stem or leaf a prickly point that would offend the tender and sensitive noses of plant eating animals, and thereby escape de- struction, such plant would survive in the struggle for life and perpetuate its kind. The rose belongs to a large and very interesting family. Some of its mem- bers have grown into gigantic structures and have risen beyond the reach of ani- mals, while others have been forced to acquire habits of an opposite character by seeking shelter and protection beneath the stronger growing thorny and prickly types, ily purpose is here only to point out the extreme flexibility of the entire family, its readiness to yield to cultural conditions and environment. It is scarce- ly necessary to call attention to the great variety of roses, which have all emerged by successive divergences and from very jirimitive types. They all brought with them the thorns. But the rose having come under the care and protection of man, the thorns are no longer needed, are functionless, and are as useless as bayonets after uni- versal peace has been declared. More- over, they are an abomination to the rose plant. They very greatly mar the loveliness and beauty of the rose. Al- ready, however, there may be seen varie- ties that have fewer thorns than others, and occasional plants of a variety may be seen to differ as to number and size of thorns. I maintain, then, that it only remains for the young and energetic rose grower, by careful selection, propagation and breeding, to give to the w-orld the true queen of flowers, a thornless rose. H, Young. THE LABOR PROBLEM. The following is an extract from the address of Robert Simpsou, of Clifton, X. J., at the March meeting of the New York Florists' Club: When a man's establishment has growii too large for his own hands to do all the work in it, and he is com- pelled to employ others, he is pretty certain to encounter difiSculties which will keep him awake late into the night trying to puzzle out. The help problem in its most aggravated form makes a grower often wish that he had been anything in the wide world but a flor- ist. To read the advertising columns of our trade weeklies one would be in- clined to take an optimistic view of the situation. As one's eye runs over the page we find it bristles with talent and experience all waiting to serve the man lucky enough to secure it; each applicant thoroughly fitted for any po- sition of trust and responsibility; "ca- pable of taking charge," is the stereo- typed phrase. With so much talent, all the best, how is a man to make a choice? We make a venture; the se- quel you all know. The man who knew it all when put to work and given the test knew almost nothing, or else had storeil u]i all the knowledge there was and immediately took upon himself the benevolent task of instructing his ig- norant employer. The itinerant florist is a wonder. When a man pulls out a pocketful of testimonials you had bet- ter have a hurry call to the telephone, slip out of the back door, and never come back that day. It seems to me that in trying to solve the labor problem we shall have to do one of two things: employ only unskilled labor and furnish the brains and intelligence ourselves, so that the men will simply need to execute orders and work machine fashion; or else we must try to secure journeymen florists of a higher stamp of morality and intel- ligence than those we have at the pres- ent time. A number of growers that I have talked with are trying the former method with more or less success; they at least have the satisfaction of run- ning their business in their own way and having the work done as experi- ence and common sense dictates. One very serious drawback to this method, however, will be found in the fact that if the intelligence of the overseer is, through sickness or any other cause, withdrawn for any length of time, something serious is liable to happen. If we adopt the other suggestion, I believe we will have to make our busi- ness more attractiv'e, and offer greater inducements for young men of educa- tion and intelligence to seek such em- ployment. Bright boys to-day will not choose a business for life that pays them no better and gives them no high- er rank than that of a common laborer. The treatment which some employer* give their men in the way of long hours, little recreation, scanty and poor food, and utter disregard for all the comforts of life is scandalous in the extreme, I have passed through it. "IT IS TO LAUGH." The following ' ' fairy tale ' ' originated in the brain of one who must have had a previous demonstration of the gullibility of the editors of daily newspapers. The first victim, according to all accounts, was the New York Globe, but the ' ' story ' ' was given credence in dozens of newspaper offices through the coun- try and so reputable a journal as the Chicago Tribune gave the canard a place on its front page March 16. The narra- tive is reproduced here simply because, while the daily papers have published many ridiculous things about the flower business those familiar with the violet market will agree that this is ' ' the best ever : ' ' John D. Rockefeller has cornered the violet market, and H. McIC. Twombl.v has a monopoly of the orchid ontput. This announcement, not new to the florists of New York, who have been buying 30.000 violets a day from Mr. Rockefeller at Dobbs Ferry, and have for many months been depending entirel.v upon the greenhouses of Mr. Twombly. at Madison. N. J., for their suppLv of orchids — particularly those of the popular mauve variety — came like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky to the men on 'Change and the thousands of people who wear violets and are familiar with the Standard Oil Company. Mr. Twombly. who also sells milk, does not, there- fore, depend upon the sale of orchids for his sole revenue. His gardener gets most of ihe benefit. Mr. Twombly merely wears an orchid Makcii 24. 10114. The Weekly Florists* Review* 913 in his buttonliole uow and then, and sometimes inspects the ijreeuhouse. But it is differeut up at Dobbs Ferry. Mr. Rockefeller has the best sort of violets groWD. He charges anything he wants for them. They are Standard, for the debutante, the matinee girl, or the young man who likes them on his frock. They are just like oil. Only they bloom instead of burn. Every member of the famous Sunday school class is presented with a blue bouquet of the finest variety each Sunday. Therefore that day the price of violets down town is higher. They cost 25 cents more a hundred, so the greenhouse men say. The train that runs down from Dobbs Ferry about 9 o'clock in the morning is called the Rockefeller violet special. It is met each day by crowds of local florists, who are anxious to make the first bid and get the choicest bunches. The station at that time, as every one knows, is redolent with the fresh purple perfume. Mr. Rockefeller now and then comes down in the car himself and presides' at the auction. He knows each bunch of flowers, its price — and the Standard Oil rules of procedure hold throughout. Those which are picked by Mr. Rockefeller him- self are said to be the most expensive. The day that Mr. Rockefeller's cow jumped over the fence and landed in the flower bed. as well as the time the ladies from Dobbs Ferry SeminaiT inspected the greenhouse, the price of violets in New York City was doubled. It is said that the merger decision will not affect this horticultural combination. The Rockefeller gardener, when interviewed at Dobbs Ferry today, said: •'Yes, we have a corner on the violet market. Our violets are the best known, most popular, and largest specie! in the world. Sprinkling them liberally with oil each morning induces a rapidity of growth and a poignancy of odor that can be obtained in no other way. I am sory to hear that all other violet gi-owers are going out of business, but. OS Mr. Rockefeller has so oft^n told \is. 'Business is business, in love or war.' " SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Meeting of the Executive Committee. The regular annual meeting of the executive committee of the Society of American Florists was held at the South- ern Hotel, St. Louis, March 5-7. After the usual routine of oflScers ' reports, sun- dry communications, etc., the arrange- ments for the coming convention were taken up. Music Hall, eastern nave and the spacious vestibule of the Exposition building on Olive street, were found to be admirably adapted for the purposes of the convention and trade exhibition and their selection therefor by the St. Louis Florists ' Club was duly approved by the committee. The secretary was instructed to ar- range for the presentation of papers by competent gentlemen upon the following subjects: "Progress of Bulb-raising in America," "Home and Municipal Im- provement from a Horticultural Stand- point," "The Ideal Employee," "De- velopment of an American Type of Eoses, " "Indoor Blooming Plants." The president's reception will be held, as heretofore, on the evening of the first day of the convention, but. the usual evening meetings on the second and third days will be omitted so that members may be free to visit the World's Fair, a session on the morning of the fourth day beinjg substituted therefor. One session will be devoted to addresses by eminent horticulturists from abroad. The bowling tournament will take place on the afternoon of the second day, the shooting and ladies ' bowling on the aft- ernoon of the third day and the visitors wiU be the guests of the St. Louis Flor- ists' Club on the afteronon of the fourth day. New rules were adopted regulating the judging in the trade exhibit, whereby the main report on the exhibits shall be made by the superintendent of the ex- hibition, and the judges, three in num- ber, shall be required to examine and make awards on novelties and improved devices only, due entry of such special exhibits being made in advance with the superintendent. On recommendation of President Beneke of the local club, C. A. Kuehn was appointed sviperintendent of the exhibition, with power to select an assistant, .lirangements were also made for the appointment of a sergeant-at- arms and assistant, a night watchman in tlie exhibition hall and the establishment of a bureau of information, and an agreement was entered into with the rep- resentatives of the St. Ijouis Florists ' Club establishing the salary of the su- perintendent and providing for the dis- jiosal of the proceeds of the exhibition after the payment of all expenses, for the benefit of the St. Louis Florists' Club on a basis similar to that made with the local club at Milwaukee last year. The legislative committee was re-ap- pointed with J. K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, as chairman for 1904, and Messrs. H. M. Altick, Elmer D. Smith and the secretary were constituted a special committee to work in conjunction with them in promoting an agitation fa- voring the passage by congress of the bill presented by the Postal Progress League. Messrs. P. -7. Hauswirth, Carl Beyer and E. F. Tesson were appointed the committee on sporting events for the convention of 1904, and were instructed to rule that all persons (ladies excepted) participating in any games must be mem- bers of the S. A." F. in good standing, and also of their respective local Flor- ists' Club, where one exists. The amendment to the constitution providing for reciprocal relations with other societies, referred by the Milwau- kee convention to the executive commit- tee, was taken up and considered at length, and finally adopted in an amend- ed form for regular presentation to the convention next August. It was voted to offer for the coming year silver and bronze medals for award through various horticultural bodies, as in previous years. The accounts of the secretary and treasurer showed a very substantial increase in both general and permanent fund. The committee on final resolutions, Messrs. Altick, Wirth and Stewart, pre- sented the following resolutions which were adopted by a unanimous vote: V\'e, the members of the executive committee of the Societ.v of American Florists, in meeting assembled, herebv express onr thanks to the St. L«uis Florists' Club, to F. W. Taylor. Chief of Agriculture and Horticulture of the louisiana Purchase Exposition; to J. H. Hadkinson. Super- intendent of the Department of Floriculture; to T W. Brown. Chief of Landscape.

J Beneke, president, and Otto G. Koenlg. treasurer, of the St. Louis Florists' Club. Wm. J. Stewart, Sec'y. GALAX. The splendid Christmas Annual of Country Life in America contained au article on "Christmas Greens and Flowers," by Thomas McAdam, and illustrated with some of the finest pictures ever shown in that hand- somely printed publication. Holly, ground pine, wild smilax, mountain laurel and mistletoe are among the things described in a popular way. Of galax it is said that "it is a hardy little perennial that grows in the south- em Appalachians and nowhere else in the world. The leaves come in two col- ors, green and bronze; the texture is firm and waxy. Galax has now displaced ivy as the standard material for florists' de- signs, for it is prettier, costs less and is more easily kept and handled and has long wiry stems. The leaves are also avaHablein a greater range of size and have the advantage of another color be- sides green. ' ' The introduction of galax to the trade is credited to Harlan P. Kelsey. The commercial use of galax dates back to only 1890, yet today the leaf is known and used the world over and last year no less than seventy million galax leaves, were sliipped from the mountains ol North and South Carolina. Mr. Kelsey states that he had for years been ftmU- iar with galax, but it was not until thir- teen years ago that it occurred to him that there would be a large demand for these leaves if they were known to the trade. "A campaign of advertising was be- gtm, " says Mr. Kelsey, "and samples were sent freely all over the Unitea States. At first" the florists took to them slowly, but eventually galax made its way on its merits and instead of thousands being sent away, the number reached into the millions, until, the coming sea- son, a hundred million is a safe estimate of the number that will be picked and sent out from this section, with many foreign countries, particularly Germany, using their share. ' ' The industry is of untold benefit to the native mountaineer, as it requires the time of thousands of pickers during the idle winter months to supply the demand. Every member of the family, from the father to the little boy or girl who learned to walk last year, is able to earn good wages, so light and easy is the work. On bright days during the late fall and winter the woods ring with the voicea of the pickers, going 'galackiug, ' as the saying is. It is no unusual sight to see a "camping party starting out over the reads to some distant galax ground, in any kind of a vehicle from a large moun- tain 'schooner' to a small sled drawn by a shaggy ox, or sometimes an ox hitche*} with a mule, 'Pap' leading the proces- sion, one of the boys driving, and 'Maw' walking behind carrying the baoy or peering out of the 'sheet,' as the cover is called; the rest of the large family (often from ten to fifteen) riding or stringing out for a considerable distance before and behind. ' ' The leaves are tisually picked in the daytime in baskets, to prevent the crimped edges being crushed, and at night around the eampfire .or fireplace, the family joins in sorting the leaves into colors and sizes and tying into bunches of tw enty-five leaves each, all poor leaves being rejected, for if even a few poor leaves creep in, the entire lot is liable to be culled and thrown aside by the local buyer. "The leaves have now reached our packing-house, where they are packed in light eases, usually of 10,000 leaves each, in assorted lots, of the colors and sizes, in separate boxes, in layers three bunches or seventy-five leaves deep, sphagnum moss between the layers and oiled paper all around the inside of the box. Of course there is much poorly graded galax handled by eountrj' stores, the leaves being thrown carelessly into rough boxes, without proper packing material, but these command a low price in the market and are more often a total loss. "The bulk of the galax leaves go to 914 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Marcu 24, 1904. the larger cities, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago leading, where they are placed in cold storage to pre- vent heating. At a temperature of about 33 degrees Fahrenheit they will keep in good condition till next year's new crop conies in. "The bronze colors appear only late in the year when the plants ripen and the frosts begin, but in the deep woods, where there is dense shade, the leaves never turn color. The area over which galax is now collected extends from Virginia to Georgia, and I am happy to say that I believe there is no danger of exterminating the species. This is partly because the plant is not pulled up by the root, the foliage only being plucked. Another reason is that only absolutely perfect leaves are taken, since the slightest speck or flaw makes a leaf worthless to the trade." Country Life in America is not a hor- ticultural journal in a trade sense, but its breath is that of life outdoors and it is deserving of a place on the library table of every one who loves nature and is fond of good printing. CHICAGO. The Market. Business continued to improve stead- ily last week and by Saturday the mar- ket was apparently more active than it has been in weeks. We say ' ' appa- rently ' ' because some of the wholesal- ers reported that the commotion was as much the result of lighter receipts as it was of heavier demand. But business is brisk and most lines have profited to the extent of a considerable stiffening in prices. Shipping trade is good all through the market and locally retail business is now by no means bad. Ag- gregate sales for the week are about as last year. While receipts may naturally be ex- pected to fall off just before the period of greatest demand, there is little change in the situation at the greenhouses. The same conditions prevail as a week ago. Beauties are blooming no more freely ; there are just as many and no more tea roses, quality is of the same average; carnations are developing just as fast or even a little faster than they were. The only point at which there is any change is in the ' ' green goods ' ' market. Smilax has been scarce for some time and now some of the asparagus growers are re- ported pretty well cut out, so that prices have advanced a little on plumosus strings. Violets had a few days of good demand. Bulbous stock plentiful. While it is quite in the course of hu- man events that the growers should try to accumulate all the stock they can well do for Easter and that prices should more and more approximate Easter rates as the days pass, yet light receipts this week must not be considered as indis- putable evidence that stock will be short for the big demand at the close of next week. It is quite within the memory of those not old in the business when there were practically no flowers for the week before Easter and a very great plenty the day before. With fair prices prevailing in the next week it will be far wiser to send in stock while it is yet good rather than hold it until it becomes stale, for stale stuff won't bring much of anything on even the shortest of markets. There seem likely to be large sup- plies of lilies but the prospect of a large part of them being of indifferent quality is causing orders to come in more freely than they otherwise would. There are no particular crops in sight anywhere and there will not be any to spare on good roses but probably a plenty of ' ' our selection. ' ' Both long Beauties and Liberties will be scarce. Some of the growers have the idea that carnations are going to be very short, and there is little prospect of good grades being more than equal to orders, certainly not until Saturday, but sev- eral houses are still booking orders for thousand lots where anything goes at $30 ; but drowsy stuff does not even get in on this grade. Bulbous stock will be plentiful, also violets. Various Notes. E. E. Pieser says he is looking for a shortage of good roses to develop in the market as Easter draws near. He has it figured out that the more the growers try to increase the Easter supply the lower the average quality will be, and there haven 't been any too many first- I'lass roses even when the demand was lightest. He is looking for the best Easter business on record. At the Florists' Club meeting Wednes- day night it was voted to extend the American Rose Society a cordial invita- tion to hold its exhibition in Chicago next year in the same hall with the Car- nation Society show. The big banquet room at the Auditorium will probably be used for the combined exhibitions. Peter Eeinberg is busy setting a hot pace for his opponent in the race for al- dermanic honors. His is known as the carnation campaign and he is getting a great deal of favorable attention frctn the daily papers. The election is April 5. Poehlmann Bros, are among those who expect to get their lilies in on time for Easter, not less than 20,000 to 25,000 of them. Their stock is all in good shape. August Poehlmann says that thirty per cent of the Beauties have been twenty- four inches or over. They have just given the Moninger Co. an order for ma- terial for five houses 27x500. Last year's addition was 125,000 feet of glass and already they are planning on what the}' will do next year to round out the plant. C. W. McKellar pulls out those trays of orchids for all comers. He keeps the stock in vases ingeniously set in low boxes of corrugated paste-board, the re- ceptacles being inserted through holes cut in the cover. Wietor Bros, have 15,000 Lawson car- nations in pots which they will carry on, shifting as needed, until they can plant them in solid beds following a lot of summer roses. The rest of their Law- sons will go into the field as heretofore. Mrs. Horton. of Bassett & Washburn's, has everyone's sympathy in the criti- cal illness of her mother. Cypress is still high but glass is com- paratively cheap, which goes a long way toward encouraging new building. M. G. Holding, of the Sprague. Smith Co., says that the inquiries for prices indi- cate a great deal of new glass going up in the next few months. The Foley Mfg. Co. has a new gal- vanized iron gutter which they make in long lengths and which they believe will eventually be generally adopted. Peter Eeinberg has ordered one run of it for trial on the houses he will rebuild this summer. The Pittsburg Plate Glass Co. has es- tablished a temporary ofSce at 46 and 48 E. Van Buren street with warerooms at Jackson and Franklin street. Their burned building will be reconstructed at once. Albert Fuchs is going out of business. This time he will sell the greenhouses for removal from the ground. Harry Kowe had a nice St. Patrick's day order, for the banquet at the Audi- torium, for which he imported a large number of shamrocks in pots from the east. P. J. Hauswirth is a committee of one on transportation to the St. Louis con- vention. He may be expected to sustain his reputation as an excursion manager. Peter Eeinberg was so well pleased with the Morehead steam trap which ho saw on exhibition at the carnation con- vention at Detroit that he gave the in- ventor an order for two of them. Sinner Bros, have their place in nice shape and are looking for a good spring business. They are working up quite a shipping trade. Max Ringier, brother of Arnold Ein- gier, is now with the Kennicott Bros. Co. CINCINNATL The Market. General trade shows a great improve- ment over a week ago. The demand was much more steady and every variety and grade of flowers seemed to enjoy the welcome prosperity. For one thing there were numerous spring openings, and they used up large quantities of the second and third grades. This had a tendency to raise the price of the better stock. There was material advance in all lines of stock, with the exception perhaps of American Beauties. But that was due more to the extremely poor quality of the stock coming in than to the lack of de- mand. There is just about enough stock to take good care of the demand at pres- ent. JIaids are perhaps a trifle short. Meteors and Liberties always are scarce in this market, and but few first-class blooms are to be had at any time. Bulb- ous stock is going better, Harrisii espe- cially. Callas, too. are in good demand. Green goods are very short. The outlpok for Easter is very bright, but as is usually the case, carnations will be scarce. The prospects for roses are much better, and it appears as if there will be enough to flll all orders. There will be a large supply of bulbous flowers, but no surplus. It is probable that Harrisii lilies may miss Easter by a week or so. Even at that, this market will be well supplied with them. We are having some beautiful spring weather now and that ought to help bring in a large cut for Easter. Various Items. As the rents received from the stands in the .Tabez Elliott flower market are not sufBcient to pay the running ex- penses, it was decided by the trustees to raise the rent of each stand $5 a year, to take effect the 1st of May, \\Tien it is understood that the rents range from $25 to $30 a year, it seems that the trustees are not imposing a very great hardship upon the standhold- crs.

In the way of orchids, numerous dendrobiums, chiefly forms of D. nobile, are to be seen in the stove house, where a finely grow-n lot of specimen foliaged plants and nepenthes are to be found. In the cactus house the large specimens ]ilanted out are making splendid growth, ifundreds of seedling cacti, some of the'ni of flowering size, fill a long shelf in a cool house. W. N. Craio.

Better a small ad than none at all. 'Tis better to advertise than to be advertised — by the sheriff. Every advertiser is the architect of his owTi fortunes. Faint ads ne'er won fair lady. Given an inch, a successful advertiser will soon take an ell. It's the poor ad that pleases your competitor. Love and a good ad cannot be hid. Some are weather-wise; others ad- vertise. A company is known by the men it keeps. Two ads are better than one. Yon cannot carry a crooked ad in :i straight paper. Advertising is the staff of trade. Ad news travels swift. — AgriculturMl Advertising. FOLLOW THE INQUIRIES. We consider followiug up inquiries the mo.st important part of advertising. Ad- vertising in newspapers, etc., is the visi- ble part of the campaign. Follow up is the invisible part. Most of the bulk of an ocean liner is below the water line — all the boilers, engines and vitals. The vital part of an advertising campaign is often below the water line, too, other- wise the campaign is top heavy. The value of visible advertising everybody now admits, the truth about it has been preached so persistently, but not every business man knows the importance of this invisible advertising. I knew of a manufacturer who began advertising, but quit because it brought him nothing but letters containing inquiries! He did not know they were the raw materia! of financial results. Advertising nowadays can hardly make its greatest success without careful attention to the follow- ing-up of letters of inquirv, — Printers' Ink. DISEASES OF CARNATIONS. From some investigations m;ide at the Connecticut Experiment Station by W. C. Sturgis, on diseases of the carnation, it is concluded that the disease com- monly known as die-back, and stem-rot, is due to a fungus, which gains access, in some way not fully determined, to the tissues at or just below the surface of the soil, and accumulates in the water- ducts of the stem, thus preventing thq free transfer of water upwards. There is a strong probability that the disease may be propagated by means of the vegetative threads of the fungus exist- ing in cuttings taken from diseased plants. Cuttings should, therefore, be made only from sound plants. The spores of the fungus are appar- ently able to retain their vitality for several months and to live over winter in the earth. The fact that the disease can be transferred to sound cuttings by planting the same in soil containing vegetable matter and impregnated with the spores of the fungus indicates that the spores can thrive in such soil and thence gain access to the tissues of the plant. Consequently, when the disease has been present in the greenhouse the old soil should be completely removed, the house thoroughly fumigated with sulphur and the benches refilled with fresh soil. Abundant moisture and an excess of vegetable matter in the soil afford conditions favorable to the de- velopment of the fusarium. These should, therefore, be avoided, as far as possible. Where practicable, sterilizing the soil by means of steam or hot air would be effective in preventing the attacks of the fungus. In this ease diseased cuttings would be the only possible cause of con- tamination. Inasmuch as the production of the fusarium spores, and hence the rapid dissemination of the disease, takes place only at a considerable interval after the first symptoms of the disease appear, the immediate removal and destruction of plants showing these symptoms is to be stronglv recommended.

SIEBRECHT & SON, NEW YORK CITY. 922 The Weekly Florists' Review, March .;4. 1904. Vegetable Forcing. The lettuce growers north of Chicago complain that this has not been their most profitable season to date. Some have had light crops and poor quality, prices running from lo to 35 cents per case of eighteen plants; the average price has been about 25 cents. On this ten per cent commission must be paid and the case costs 4V2 cents. THE MARKETS.

GATHERING MUSHROOMS. In gathering mushrooms it is a mis- take to cut them over at the soil and leave the bottoms of the stems. All the stems should be pulled out if a sec- ond crop is to be looked for, but care should be exercised in doing it; if pulled up roughly a good deal of the soil will adhere, but if twisted around gently they will come out clean and without injury to the mycelium, leaving only a small cavity in the bed. It is a good plan to go over the bed after each gath- ering and fill up the cavities with fresh soil, pres.i^nmpnls sold freely at 18s. per 1,11(111, but last week .some were sold at Mill lilt l.'js. per 1,000. Good sjimplcs of Iventia Forsteriana have been selling at about Os. per 1.000. K. Belmoreana has been making rather higher prices. We do not often see seeds of Oeonoma gra- cilis at the auction rooms, but some were sold last week. They made 20s. per 1,000. Messrs. W. BuU" & Sons have just received a large consignment of seeds of Phoenix ruijicola, the samples being very good. — A. Hemsley in the Gardeners' Chronicle. The recent heavy rains did great dam- age to the seed growing and experimental grounds of the Cox Seed Co., at Termi- nus, Cal. Many acres of valuable stock were under several feet of water and the loss will run into thousands of dollars. A SWEET CORN CONTRACT CASE. At Seward, Neb., March 14, the jury in the case of the Sioux City Seed & Nursery Company against A. H. Beniis brought in a verdict iu fa\or of the de- fendant. The case was tried in the coun- ty court and lasted three days. The nature of the case aroused considerable interest, particularly among seedsmen and growers. Tlie litigation arose over a seed contract. The seed house replev- ined 300 bushels of sweet corn, on Jan- uary 15 of this year, raised by Mi. Bemis on his farm near Seward, and shipped the same to Sioux City, where the corn was sold to the seed company'.s customers. Mr. Bemis by way of answer denied the eoutract under which the corn was replevined and claimed damages for conversion. The evidence brought out the fact that an oral contract was made in January, 1903, whereby Mr. Bemis was to raise si.xty acres of sweet corn and re- ceive from the seed company 7.5 cents a bushel; that Mr. Bemis planted sixty acres of sweet corn, but subsequently the company had tendered Jlr. Bemis $1 a bushel for the corn raised. ilr. Bemis contended that both parties mutually had broken the oral contract and that he was entitled to the market price of his corn. With that understanding he had sold fifty bushels of the corn in the fall to the Griswold Seed Company at Lincoln at .$3 a bushel. Mr. Emer-on, of Fre- mont, and ilr. Robinson, of Waterloo, were used as expert witnes-es on the val- ue of sweet coin. Their testimony showed that GO per cent of the sweet corn raised iu the United States for .seed purposes was raised iu Nebraska. The jury found that the defendant was entitled to ■$1.7.") a bushel for his com and the tosts should be taxed to the plaintiff. 924 The Weekly Florists^ Review March 24, 19U4.

So far as I can ascertain, the crop of Lilium Harrisii now growing in Bermuda will be as large as that of the preced- ing year, when the value of the bulbs shipped was reported as $32,151. The conditions throughout the Islands seem favorable. The continuous cold weather has retarded the blooming of the plants, and there will probably be a scarcity of blooms at Easter. Visitors from the north like to send home these blooms at that time and some blooms are shipped for commercial purposes, but it is not a legitimate business, the trade being in the bulbs. There promises to be a shortage ui the 7-9 and 9-11 sizes owing to a much smaller quantity of the large bulbs be- ing planted this season. I add a table giving the values of the shipments of bulbs, and in some in- stances, the blooms, for the years begin- ning with 1S95. I do not explain why it is that the amount in money has so fallen off. I may fairly suppose that lower prices have ruled from year to year, which would partly explain the difference, also that the planter has had to fight a. disease, a species of fungus that caused a mite that fairly consumed and rotted the growing bulb. There are many enemies to fight in this as there are "in all gardening and nursery work.

Only once within the memory of the writer, who has re- sided in these parts over thirty-five years, have we had so much continued rainy weather. As a consequence many of the early planted fields of sweet peas have all but collapsed. A grower in my neigh- borhood who has about five acres planted in sweet peas has concluded that he will have to replant as soon as it is possible to cultivate the ground. His plants have all turned yellow and instead of stand- ing straight they are sprawled all over the ground. For early peas the seed should be planted in the latter part of October, and if the season is favorable the plants will have attained the height of one foot by February 1. They do not mind considerable frosty weather, as it does not retard their growth after the weather becomes warmer. By the first of April the vines will have attained flowering size and a good qiiantity of blooms can be harvested for a couple of months. By planting seed about the first of February and keeping the soil suffi- ciently moist either by watering or, if the ground has in itself moisture enough, by giving frequent cultivation, quanii- ties of flowers can be had for summer and fall cutting. This year has been a disastrous season to a great deal of early sowed seed. In many places it has rotted in the ground and it has been impossible, up to this time, to replant owing to the almost in- cessant rains. I have noticed that the fall planted sweet peas do not remain in flower as long as those planted later and there will be a short crop with the majority of growers until later in the year. The best white variety with us is Emily Henderson, although some few of the growers plant Mrs. Sankey, Countess of Radnor is our best lavender and Firefly the most satisfactory scarlet. Mrs. Glad- stone is the best selling pink, and next in line is Blanche Ferry. Butterfly, Cardi- nal and Salopian arc also good sorts to plant. The Chinese gardeners in the vicinity of San Francisco have corralled most of the sweet pea business within the past few years and there are only a few white growers who pretend to make a specialty of this flower. Although considered a cheap flower, if well grown and brought early into market, and the problem of picking cheaply is solved, it is a remuner- ative article to grow, as well as a very easy one. California also supplies a great iior- tion of the pea seed that is sold through- out the United States and Europe and in the neighborhood of San Jose there are hundreds of acres devoted to its culture for seed exclusively. Sweet peas, like many other annuals, quickly exhai;st the ground and have to be shifted con- stantly to insure good results. Great care has to be taken in keeping the va- rieties far enough apart so that the colors will not mix. The sweet pea seed crop was short last year and was eagerly bought up by eastern firms, and by the present indications we will not have an overproduction this season either. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. This is the sixth week of steady rain, and to say that all the florists are tired of it is expressing their feelings very mildly. Its effect on business is no- ticeable, although we are in the midst of Lent, and everybody is looking for- ward to Easter. Indoor stock is not very plentiful nor is there any great va- riety to choose from, but there is more than enough to supply all demands. Daf- fodils have brought very poor prices for the past month, and violets, although somewhat scarce the past week, have hardly paid to pick. The weather has been especially unfavorable for roses and they are very pale and wobbly. If this rain lasts much longer it will make good Easter stock scarce, as we must have a fair amount of sunshine to put the proper bloom on almost all kinds of flowers. Various Notes. A. Kingier and C. W. Scott, of Chi- cago ; James Kidd, the eastern repre- sentative for the Cox Seed Co., and Frank Pelicano made a theater party at the Orpheum last Friday night.

Murphy, the head gardener at the nursery connected with Sutro Heights, is very busy preparing the grounds for spring planting. Considerable damage was done there by the recent storm. The Realty Syndicate has commenced to plant Cupressus macrocarpa in quan- tity on the hills back of Oakland, where they own many thousands of acres. This company purchased all the available stock of this tree in California last sea- son and intends to keep planting until the bare portions of their lands are en- tirely covered. The Society Hortensia had a meeting in Oakland last Saturday which was well attended. H. Gresens is piesident of the society. The city of Oakland last week award- ed the contract for planting California fan palms on the city streets to E. GiU. David Neely has asked for a new trial of the suit in which ilary Lanigan was awarded $8,000 for breach of promise several months ago. The medical fraternity is much inter- ested in the case of George Karman, the wholesale tloiist, of Elmhurst. Mr. Kar- man has been in delicate health for sev- eral months, and this week his stomach was entirely removed because of a can- cerous growth. The surgeons give as their opinion that Mr. Karman 's splen- did physique will carry him through. " G. Flatbush, X. Y. — Jerome A. Suydara reports so good a demand for his new carnation. Amaze, that he has sold all his cuttings. Troy, 0.— C. W. Skinner's little son was taken ill while the father was at the carnation convention but is now on the road to recovery. His illness has delayed Mr. Skinner somewhat in start- ing on an eastern trip. He erpects to visit a number of the principal growing- localities during April. His patent irri- gating device is taking well with all classes of growers who have stock in the field. Wholesale Gut Flower Prices. Philadelphia. March 23. Per doz.

Tf?( by VviLUAM Scott Is a book of 224 large pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review), and contains about 200 ar- ticles on commercial plants and cultural operations, each griving '* 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- ings. It is A Complete Kefereuce Book for Commercial Florists and is a whole library on practical commercial flori* culture in one volume.

The regular meeting of the Monmouth I'ountr Hortii'uitural Society took place ^farch IS. Geo. H. Hale showed some tine Princess of Wales violets, very nice liybrid amarvllises, Amaryllis Johnsoni, • ierbera .Jamesoni and Von Sion narcissi, scoring 415 points. The discussion of the evening was "Wliat Constitutes a Table Plant?" which was verv well ventilated by most of the members present and i:hey came to the conclusion that a table plant sliould not be more than twenty inches high. A visitor of the evening was W. M. Campbell, of New York, who showed a truss of roses, Madame Norbert Levav- asseur, a cross between Crimson Ramb- ler and a polyautha, which was indeed beautiful. The plant grows from eigh- teen to twenty inches high and can be well used for the border of a rose bed. The judges of the evening were E. Will- iam.s, .John Yeomans and Nicholas But- torbaeh. b. The price of cyclamen in 2>4-inch pots was wrongly stated in C. Winte- rieh 's adverfisement last week. It should be $36.00 per 1,000. Cle.\f.brooij, Wash. — George Gfibbs l:i-t tnll planted seed of 100,000 each hyacinths, narcissi and tulips. He has a bed of seedling crocuses tliat show new colors. The Washiugton-.grown bulbs are two weeks ahead of the imported bulbs planted the same day. Candidum lilies are large, fine bulbs. Mr. Gibbs will have some sample tulip ' bulbs to dis- tribute to the trade for trial this fall. CiTT OF Mexico, Mex. — .J. A. Mc- Dowell is the Mexican horticultural r-ommissioner to the St. Louis World's Fair. He is making great efforts to have his exhibit the finest Mexico has ever sent to an exposition.

Pre8.,N. W.Hale. Knoxvllle.Tenn.: Vlce-PreB., P. A. Weber. St. Louis; Sec'y. Geo. C. Sealer, Rochester, N. Y.; Trea8.. C. L. Yates. Rochester, N. Y. The twenty-eighth annual convention will be held at Atlanta. Oa., June. 19M. One of the most useful of the low- growing shrubs is Weigela rosea nana variegata. Of all the golden evergreens Eetinos- pora plumosa aurea is the most popular and generally useful. The catalpa gives good satisfaction for a time; then the planter wishes he had chosen a maple, an elm or an oak. O. C. SiMONDS, Chicago, has been at Quincy, III., to suggest a treatment for an addition of eighteen acres to South park. The Miller Nursery Co., Rochester, N. y., has been incorporated with $30,- 000 capital. The directors are F. A. Miller and Ada M. Miller, of Rochester, and G. M. Kellogg, of Hornellsville. The Jonesboro Nursery and Planta- tion Co., Jonesboro, Ark., has amended its articles of incorporation, changing its name to the American Nurseries Co. and increasing its capital stock to $10,000. The liriodendron is a splendid tree of quick growth. One merit is its smooth bark. Transplanting is best done in spring, just as growth commences. It is classed as reliably hardy, but some fine trees succumbed in the vicinity of Chi- cago when we had a winter with little snow and alternate thaws and severe cold. It is beginning to be understood that the oak is not the difficult subject, of slow growth, it has been considered. When frequently moved in the nursery row they form fibrous roots and are not hard to establish in their permanent location. The pin oak, Quercus palus- tris, is of fairly rapid growth and will stand many unfavorable conditions. It should have room for development. Rhododendrons do well in most soils that are free from limestone, but they respond to liberal treatment. The na- tive species are hardy as far north as New England. A shelter belt is effective where the position would otherwise be unduly exposed. A mulch of lawn clip- pings conserves moisture in summer and a heavier mulch of manure in winter protects the roots. Seeding should be prevented. The plants are easily moved in spring or fall and ship successfully if dug with good balls of earth. A Belgian nursery grows immense quantities of cacti from seed. Most of the seed is gathered from old plants in the nursery, but a considerable quantity is imported from America, and it is a curious fact that the nursery afterward finds a good sale for the young plants in the same country. The seed of the mamillarias germinate in three to five days; cereus, seven days; echinopsis, eight days; echinocactus, ten or twelve days ; opuntias, three to four weeks, of- ten longer. Interesting new forms are secured by cross-fertilization. HARDY, ORNAMENTAL STOCK Grown in the Most M'ortliern Nurseries in America.

COLO. With the approach of Eastet every- thing in the floral line seems to be put- ting on its best garb; from the hardy lilac all the way down to the miniatiire primula all seem to be in the greatest profusion of bloom. Weather conditions enable the florists out here to bring in flowering stock with ease. Deciduous shrubs are ready to pop open under a few days' treatment of moist atmos- phere, and a weel^'s notice to the florist enables him to give his patrons a spring decoration of apple, plum and cherry blossoms. Considering the beauty and adaptability of this Ivind of stock and its profusion throughout the country, it is astonishing how little of it is used in floral arrangements. I noticed quite re- cently in the windows of the Scott Floral Co. an attractive decoration of apricot branches combined with light azaleas and delicate pink ribbon, deftly arranged. The apricot in question is the Russian variety, which frequently flowers but sel- dom sets fruit out heTc. It develops into flower in cold water in a few days and possesses the good qualities of keep- ing and having a delicious fragrance. Prospects for the Easter trade are very encouraging, especially from the standpoint of supply, which will be abundant in everything but American Beauties, whicli liave been very scarce since Christmas. Bulbous stuff" will be plentiful and of good quality. Lilies, while better than they have been for several years, are not up to the old-time standard. Hydr.Tngeas, deutzias, lilacs and other shrubs are showing up well and will be quite a factor in Easter trade. A new aspirant for recognition out here this spring is the imported wis- taria, which at this date promises to be quite attractive. It is grown in 6- inch pots and not over eighteen inches high, carrying from six to twelve flowers. The Park Floral Co. is handling this stock and think highly of it. Ben Boldt has a fine lot of 6- inch Rooted Carnation Cuttings.

The State Association of Florists, which was organized last year, held its annual meeting recently at the oflices of the Park Floral Co. Its officers are: President, John Satterthwait, Denver; first vice-president. Frank Crump, Colo- rado Springs; second vice-president, George Fleischer, Pueblo ; secretary, J. A. Valentine, Denver; treasurer, Mrs. Johnson, Boulder. Its membership is made up chiefly from the business es- tablishments throughout the state. Its object is to advance the various interests of the business, foster a social feeling and create an incentive to grow superior stock and exhibit same in friendly com- petition at the annual State Fair and other exhibitions. Several good papers were read at the last meeting. Promi- nent among them was one on carnation culture by N. A. Benson, one on the trials of a commission man by L. C. Waterbury, and a few terse remarivs by Mrs. Johnson on the first year's expe- rience of a flori.H in the business, in which she showed the disastrous as well as the humorous features of the busi- ness from the standpoint of a beginner.

I MfTiti'iii The Itcvipw when you writi'. PITTSBURG. The Market. Business last week proved to be quite active and the apparent upward move- ment from now to EasteT will no doubt be very gratifying to all. Last week the demand was active enough to avoid heavy accumulations of stock. All kinds of flowers are arriving in fine condition and a good share of .sunshine will bring good crops in for Easter. All local growers report stock in the best condi- tion, especially roses, lilies, carnations and all bulbous stock. Notes. At the last meeting of the Florists' Club a fine exhibition of carnations was made and our local growers who exhibit- ed can feel proud of the showing thev made. The exhibit of miscellaneous flowers made by the Tittsburg Cut Flower Co. at this meeting was certainly a credit to that concern. Fifteen new names were proposed at this meeting. "Easter Flow- ers" will be the topic for the next meet- ing, April 5. Hoo-Hoo. A BUSY PLANTSMAN. Godfrey Aschmann turns out surpris- ing quantities of stock at his place on Ontario street, Philadelphia. He gets as manj- crops out of his houses as any grower in the business. Tbe place is always full, something always at hand to take the place of the outgoing, fin- ished plants. The araucaria is one of his all-the-year-around specialties, but just now the azalea is to the fore. Mr. Aschmann makes an annual trip to Bel- gium and his stock shows the result this season in the large proportion of Mme. Van der Cruyssen. This most popular of all azaleas has been scarce for the last couple of years. Ijut Mr. Aschmann was able to secure several thousands. Many he sold on arrival, but upwards of 2,000 are in fine flower for Easter. He also has all the standard varieties in quan- tity. He also has a whole house of cinerarias. 1,800 plants, which make a fine display. No stock of Easter plants would be complete without lilies, and his will nearly all be ready in time. Spi- raeas are another item. Mr. Aschmann is always glad to see visitors. Chatham, N. Y. — B. E. Shuphelt is expected here from the south this week. <*^|«-'.%<*9>>.(*?J.<*^<»^<«^<*^<»^!#^<«^(#^(»^<*^1<-^<»^<*?J.(«^<*^.<«^ t THE BEST NEW SCARLET CARNATION The Cardinal.

Mabch 24. 1904. A GCX)D OPENING. Xo doubt many of your subscribers would be glad to learn of a good open- ing for a progressive young man to en- gage in the florist's business in a pros- perous town of over 20,000 inhabitants, where there is no regular florist. Our twin city of Winston-Salem, North Car- olina, is just such a place. We have no regular florist. We have to send away for our flowers. I have a small private greenhouse for my own use and am so often applied to for flowers that 1 thought I would write to your journal and see if you could not interest some good young florist, with some money to start "with. I would be willing to aid such a florist if the right kind of a man, to start in the florist's business here. I would be pleased to correspond with some young man who thoroughly understands the florist's business desir- ing such an opportunity as is here of- fered. C. A. Heoe. A WISCONSIN BOILER. Some of the florists, as well as many other people up in Wisconsin, are using a boiler which has gained a reputation outside that state as a great fuel saver. It is made by the Burns Boiler & Manu- facturing Company, of West De Pere. Wis., who show many letters which state that when old boilers were re- placed by theirs a saving of 50 per cent in fuel was effected. The boilers are made of flange steel and are inter- nally fired, requiring no brick work. Newton, Kan. — C. L. Shank is mak- ing quite an addition to his up-to-date range of glass, the new houses to be used this spring to accommodate a fine lot of bedding plants. Everything about his place is neat and clean and speaks of prosperity. Surplus Carnations SAND-ROOTED Subject to Examination.

Mr. Peter Reinberg says:^ "When a man has once tried iron gutters it spoils him for anything else. I am rebuilding a range of houses 27x265 feet and although the wooden gutters were in fair shape, 1 am replacing them with Garland's Iron Gutters because I can Save 32 ft. of bench space, 265 ft. long and Build the ran^e with /s less posts. I can also have less shade, more head room and gain in other ways. I expect the 8,480 square ft, of extra bench room gained to almost repay the cost of rebuilding in one season."

Harrington Co., of Vasbon, is breaking ground for two more houses, 20x150 feet, for carnations. Tliey built three houses last year, besides rebuilding two small houses. Their carnations are in good shape and have been producing steadily since September. Enchantress, Adonis and Harlowarden are winners among the new ones this year with them. Their lilies are in fine condition and will no doubt be in time. Their bulbs pro- duced about eightv per cent good plants. The Woodland " Park Floral Co. has the finest lot of roses to be seen in the state. They have just finished rebuild- ing five houses 12.xl50 feet which they have planted to vegetables for the spring and summer trade, after which they will be used for mums, etc. Mr. Hoffmeister. proprietor of the Washington Floral Co., is recovering from his attack of rheumatism. The demand for flist-class carnations has been good this year. There was a scare of a big surplus after the holidays, caused by heavy shipments sent down from Victoria, but now we hear that a great manv of their plants have gone bad. This has been a very bad winter, an unusual amount of dark weather, but not much frost. February broke the rec- ord for rainfall, about eight inches. Sweet peas, snapdragons and verbenas have wintered over; rose bushes have not lost their foliage, and have made some growth during the winter. E. A. Perry, of Vashon. is building three houses for vegetables. This is Mr. Perry's first attempt at the business. AN EARLY AZALEA. We have now to do with a rich rose- eolored rzalea, which, jiulging from the plate in the Revue de ^'Horticulture Beige for February, has flowers of a good shape, fine color, and an early- blooming tendency. It is Azalea indica Rose de Xoel and was raised by M. De Smet-Duvivier as a sport, and flowers in December.

The mocking bird has called her with his melancholy notes and she has donned her gala dress. Orange blossoms adorn her virgin head and roses her bridal gown. The bridal wreath awaited her in gor- geous bloom and peach and pear sent their beautiful blossoms to complete the decoration, while the warm sun bright- ■ ened the day for her welcome. The purple wistaria, with its wealth of graceful sprays, hugs the stately mag- nolia and sends down a shower of fad- ing flowers, while pretty girls in light summer attire peep from behind the latticed galleries hidden under a wealth of scarlet and gold, our favorite climb- ing roses Keiue Marie Henrietta and Marechal Niel. Old Mercury has been up in the seventies, making it rather uncomfortable for palms and ferns in the houses, and in a short time they will be out under slatted sheds. The pansy beds have been in their glory for some time. Violets have gone to rest for another year, while geraniums, helio- tropes, salvias, begonias, etc., are taking the place of the earlier annuals. The lawns are awaiting their first clipping. Everybody is hustling to get the beds in shape for Easter. Greenhouse work is crowding and good help is at a premium. It is too late to pilant trees and shrub- bery; everything is green and blooming. The mespilus is ripening its golden fruit, camellias are passing away and the fragrant Magnolia fuscata fills the balmy night with its rich perfume, fol- lowing the precocious Olea fragrans or sweet olive, which has just shed its last flowers. Easter lilies are stretching their necks trying to be on time and the scar- let Amaryllis Johnsoni is in bud. The first sweet peas in private gardens have made their appearance, a true sign that spring is here for good. We have rea- sons to thank the Lord for a good many things, and especially for the small coal bill, which, however, never assumes pro- portions like those of our northern friends. C. W. Eichling.

E9 E WERE AWARDED FOR THIS FIRST PRIZE FOR THE BEST SIX BLOOMS ANY NEW PINK VARIETY, at the Chrysanthemum Show in New York. This is going to be in Pink Chrysanthemums what Col. D. Appleton has been in yellow and Timothy Eaton in white. It is a fine commercial flower of the largest size and an ideal color; fine, large, compact blooms of great substance; a fine shipper; something that has long been wanted in Pink Chrys- anthemums. It has grand foliage, is an easy " doer," and is a phenomenal variety in every respect. Certificated by the C. S. A., having scored as high as 95 points. Fine, strong plants, ready for immediate delivery. 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen, $30.00 per hundred.

Lawson, the value of a White Lavvson will be at once * A J| apparent, and it will undoubtedly stand as far ahead of all white carnations as Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson stands ahead of all pink carnations for commercial or private use. Nothing need be said in praise of White Lawson except to state that it is a sport of Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, and as good as that variety in every respect, with all of its remarkable free-blooming qualities, but is pure white. No extended description is necessary; its value will appeal at once to every carnation grower. This variety originated with Mr. Charles H. Allen, Floral Park, New York, and recognizing at once its great value to the trade, we purchased his entire stock. As there are other stocks of White Lawson offered, in order to secure this superior stock, the value of which has been well established, ORDER FROM US, as WE CONTROL THIS ENTIRE STOCK.

Heller Bros., of New Castle, Ind., are growing 000 plants of Storrs & Harri- son's new lose, to be disseminated next month. This is General MaeArthur, of which F. J. Ammann said in a talk to the St. Louis Florists' Club: "I tell yon. the General is a dandv. dressed out in true military style. Why, it is worth the price of the rose .iust to see that magnitieeut foliage. The flower is fully as good as Liberty and it seems to be a grower, not a rester. ' ' General MaeArthur originated with E. , G. Hill, at Richmond, and Heller Bros, haye watched it for three years. They do not think it quite so good a flower as Liberty but find it so healthy and free blooming that they prefer it. They say that they think it will proye to be better than any red rose now on the market from the fact that anybody can do it well and cheaply in a house with Bride or Maid. ANOTHER RED ROSE. A European noyclty which will be tried by many American rose growers next season is Etoile de France, which originated with J. Pernet-Ducher. the disseminator of Carnot, Testout, Chate- nay and many other good sorts. The new candidate is a seedling which is de- scribed as haying "inherited from the seed-bearer variety. Mme. Abel Chate- uay. the wonderful habit of growth and free blooming qualities; from the fer- tilizer yariety, Fisher Holmes, it has only kept the brilliant color." Bellefontaine, O. — Poole & Purllant have some seedling geraniums of which they think highly. The seed bearing parent was a white and one of the best of the seedlings is a robust white, an- other a fine light pink. The latter makes a fine pot plant as it carries its trusses well above the foliage. CARNATION 0^^% White. Per 100 1000 White Bradt...$B00 *30 OD Boston Marliet 4.00 35.00 Gov.

J- should be glad of some advice on heating my greenhouses, three in num- ber, each 19x56, three-quarter span. There is glass in the east end and there are 12-inch side lights. We are heating with a twelve horse-power steam boiler and it costs me $12 to $15 per week with coal at $7.50 per ton. I want to know if it would be cheaper to heat my small place with hot water instead of steam? I have two 2-ineh mains on each side of the houses, on the posts overhead, run- ning to the east end and returning on the south side in a coil of three 1%- inch pipes and on the north side in a coil of four 114-inen pipes. The house nearest the boiler is warm enough with one 2-ineh main and the north coil. The temperature required is 50 to 55 de- grees at night when it is 5 degrees above zero outdoors. How many 1 14-inch pipes will- be required for hot water? Would hot water be more economical? E. G. By increasing the number of 1%-inch pipes to thirteen in each house, placing an expansion tank on the return pipe close to the boiler, with the tank at least ten feet above the highest point in the system, making the tank of at least fifty gallons capacity, the houses can be heated with hot water. This will require much less attention than the steam and may prove somewhat less expensive in fuel. If during cold spells the hot water should prove inadequate it is a simple matter to have valves so arranged that the expansion tank can be cut off, the water drained to the proper level and the plant run as a steam plant. When milder weather returns the hot water plant can again be put in operation. This is one of the great advantages which the modern hot water system pos- sesses over the old, open cast iron pipe svstem. L. C. C. 50,000 PIERSON FERNS!

It is also one of the very sweetest varieties ever offered, of very easy culture, as it can be grown in the same temperature as an ordinary Tea variety such as Bride. It is a good, strong, vigorous grower, producing stems 24 to 30 inches long, a free and continuous producer. It can be grown at much less cost than Meteor or Liberty, and is a much brighter color than either; also larger when fully expanded. We predict that this will be the red rose for the multitude.

We liked its looks very much, and last year secured 25 plants from the Storrs & Harrison Co. for trial. We cut fine flowers from them all winter and made 600 cuttings which we are growing this winter. \ye com- menced cutting good flowers from them in November, and have done so continuously ever since, it being distinctly a winter Rose. At this date the bench is a fine sight. The plants are from two to three feet high, and are sending out flowering shoots which are most all one to two feet in length, although quite a number are three feet or more. It has the most beautiful large, lustrous foliage, and most abundant of any rose we have ever seen. The flower is a brilliant red, and has a very fine odor. We find it the best Red Rose we have ever grown. While not as fine a flower as Liberty, with us it is much healthier and so much freer flowering that we prefer it. We have it growing in the same house as Bridesmaid. Yours truly, HELLER BROS. The storrs & HARRISON CO., JOHN N. MAY, PAINESVILLE, OHIO. SUMMIT, N.J. 956 The Weekly Florists' Review, Mabch 24, 1904.

A white double flowered stock shown before the Floral Committee of the Eoyal Horticultural Society in May by Wm. Bull & Sons was pronounced quite remarkable by the committee. The flower-spikes were nearly two feet long, and the individual flowers nearly as large as those of a hollyhock (2 inches across) ; some of them showed signs of prolifieation. There were thirteen fully expanded flowers upon a spike, and thirty to open. The leaves were unusu- ally large. Soil that has been firmly compressed after having first been well pulverized seems to produce the best results in nearly all cases. For the majority of plants it is best to tread with the "foot the beds and border previous to plant- ing. The result is a generally more healthy growth, a more floriferous habit, and improved color in leafage and flower. Firm soil retains moisture much longer than loose ground and its fer- tility is not so rapidly exhausted. -And weeds spring up much less frequently in soil that has been well firmed. The new bedding lobelia, Mrs. Cli- bran, is a very good variety. It has a compact habit, and indigo-blue flowers with white center. YoKK, Neb. — H. S.

Its natural, compact habit admits of its being grown in one-half the space required to grow N. Bostoniensis. Its rapidity of increase is well proven by the fact that in October, 1900, I had but one plant with 4 fronds and at the present time I have three J 52 feet houses full. : : The illustration shows a plant each of N. Scottii and N. Bostoniensis; hoth were (frown in five-inch pots, and it is easily seen how much more decorative N. Scottii is over the old Boston fern.

There was a little christening down at Bichmoud the other day when E. G. Hill returned from his recent trip among the growers, and the new red rose which is hojied will prove to be the forcing rose .of the future is no longer nameless. They call it Etna. Etna is the tallest vol- cano in Eur'ope and its red fires illum- ine the pages of history away back into the legends of Greek mythology. It is not vouchsafed who is responsible for the .choice of the cognomenal appellation but it is pointed out that the rose is the hue of the conflagration, that com- -mereially it is expected to tower above Meteor, Liberty and all other competi- tors in its class and maintain its exalted position until the present day shall be in the far horizon of floricultural re- trospect. It is planned to distribute it ■next yeaiT. VENTILATION FOR ORCHIDS. Whenever the outside conditions are ■favorable, no opportunity should be lost for giving ample ventilation. In years past I have been an advocate of the free use of the roof ventilators, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine, but expe- rience has taught me that the conditions suitable for successful cultivation of or- .chids can be maintained without their use, even in the hottest days of summer. The use of the roof ventilators permits the humid atmosphere to escape, and yet this is the life of the plants. In winter especially, in exposed positions like our own, the use of roof ventilators would 'be little short of the -nilful de- struction of our plants. Designers of horticultural buildings have paid far too much attention to roof ventilation in the past, and even now we often see com- paratively new erections without ventila- tors in the vicinity of the hot-water pipes. I hope to see in the near futvu'O even the side lights dispensed ■(vith, and a substantial brick wall taking their place. The saving in fire heat alone, apart from the possible fluctuations of temperature, is sufficient recommenda- tion in itself to establish the advantages obtained from the more substantial buildings.

In most cases Florists do not have a perfect circulation in their heating sys- tems, which means an extra expenditure for fuel. By placing injthe system a MOREHEAD STEAM TRAP IT GIVES A PERFECT CIRCULATION. Mt. Clemens, Mich. We are grateful to the in- ventor, Mr. John Morehead, for so perfect an article as the Morehead Automatic Steam Trap for returning the con- densation direct back to boiler. We have eight now in use — four of which were in use for five years, and the last four, which are an improvement on the first, are highly commendable for any person in need of traps ; we certainly rec- ommend them for doing the work satisfactorily. John Bbeitmeyer's Sons. London, Ont. It affords us much pleasure to bear testimony to the effi- cient qualities of the Morehead Steam Trap ; it has now been in use five years, during which time it has not cost one cent or has it been out of repair-. It is easily installed, does all the work and keeps the pipes well drained from two forty horse-power boilers, heating over twenty-five thousand feet of glass, and returns all con- densation direct to boiler.

A. S. Chicken manure is so much strongfr than ordinary farm yard manure that it must be used with caution and particu- larly so when applied to greenhouse crops. To obtain good results from its use. it should be composted with at least twelve times its bulk of good, fresh loam and allowed to lie until decomposition is well advanced, when it should be turned over a few times at intervals of ten days. This makes an excellent top dressing for either roses or carnations, but it must not be used as a mulch. Containing strong caustic properties, it is very un- safe to use in potting or planting soil, even when thus diluted. When used for this purpose half this strength would be safer. Rises. EUCHARIS GRANDIFLORA. A correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle sends a photograph showing a group of fine plants of Eucharis grandi- flora and writes as follows: "The plants are never allowed to dry off, as is the practice with some cultivators. They always stand over a hot-water tank, so that they have abundance of atmospheric moisture, to which I believe our success is in a great measure due. We are never for long periods without eucharis flow- ers. One of the plants in the photograph had twenty-two flower-spikes, and some of the leaves are about two feet six inches long and eight inches across. ' ' March 2i. 1904.

We have a piece of land with a southern exposure along which the road runs northeast to southwest. Would it be best to build with this road, facing- southeast, or at an angle and facing a little east of south? The value of land is no consideration. F. T. W. Houses facing a few points east of south get more of the morning sun than if facing directly south, and this counts for a good deal during the short days. Our last block, which is devoted to car- nations, is so placed and has given entire satisfaction. Eibes.

A boiler shop is a very prosaic as well as noisy place but often much of interest is to be found in unfrequented surround- ings. Many a florist comes to Chicago to see the stock produced in the great ranges o^ glass and often visitors make a critical inspection of the boilers in use. but when ready for a heater a mail order will do; they seldom think of vis- iting the place where the boiler is made, although there are many things worth seeing there. The works of the Kroeschell Bros. Co. occupy a half a block in Chicago, the floor space in the shop being 100x33(3 feet. They make high power steam boil- ers as well as greenhouse boilers, but the extent of their business in the latter de- partment is well shown by the fact that there are now lined up on the floor more than forty greenhouse boilers, completeil and ready for shipment when the men who have ordered them say the word. This practice of booking orders early in the year, building the boiler at once and holding it until wanted has been fol- lowed for several years, as deliveries are practically all wanted at once and it is impossible to manufacture a whole sea- son 's output in a few weeks. As to acceptances of boilers ordered long in advance, Mr. Wm. Kroeschell says that in their long experience they have had but two cases where a florist did not carry out his promise. He thinks the florist's" promise is as good as his bond. Mr. Kroeschell attends the S. A. F. and Carnation Society conventions and is heartily in sympathy with their work and proud of his membership. He may be expected to give some substan- tial" evidence of his sincerity when the Carnation Society meets in Chicago next year. Fitzgerald.

March 24. 1904. ROCHESTER, N. Y. Various Notes. C. Curtis, one of our great vegetable growers, reports splendid success vritli his carnations. He planted one house this season for trial and did much better than expected. Ho said hi.s carnation house has paid more dollars than any house on the place and he is going to plant all tho stock he can raise this season. He also has the material for another house 20 s200. E. Latz reports trade encouraging. He built one house last fall for carna- tions, but could not secure plants enough to fill it. He says that if he had had it full he -n-ould have come out in good shape. He has made up his mind to have things a little different next sea- son. Mr. Winehel, another new grower, re- ports business good and expects to be in full crop for Easter. F. Pursell, Salter's foreman, pur- chased E. Canister's place and will erect a rose house 30x150 as soon as the weather will permit. As to varieties I tind Enchantress to be the most satisfactory among our growers and will be mostly planted, as it is much ahead of any other. I have not seen a bench of Morning Glory that was in a satisfactory condition. Those that are growing Enchantress, report that it can be raised cheaper than any other. I can speak for the 600 plants which I have myself; we picked heavy for Christmas and New Year's and will be there for Easter, picking 300 or over a week at the present time, which no other carnation on the market will do. I consider it ahead of any. In white they all speak well of Peru and I think it has come to stay, as it seems to be doing better this year than ever. In dark pink it will be pretty hard for anyone to beat Lawson. Our growers are .iust commenc- ing to grow this variety and begin to realize what they missed. Dark red is not much wanted here. In bright red a good many are raising the old Red Jacket but Crane is the favorite. Growers are purchasing new carnations less this sea- son than ever. I think it would be a profitable advertisement for a grower of any new carnation to distribute it among the leading growers for trial, so as the growers could see for themselves the be- havior of such a variety.

The question of obtaining a satisfactory article that ivould stand the wear and tear of green- house work has long been discussed by users and a hose that would not kink, burst or wear through the cover has not vet been obtained at a reasonable price. The Mineralized Eubber Co., New York, has a hose which seems to fill the re- quirements of greenhouse work, being constructed of a number of plies of fine duck, making kinking impossible, and an extra heavy cover effectually pro- tects it from the wear caused by being drawn around sharp corners of benches, etc. Although it will stand any hydrant pressure, it is as light in weight as al- most any hose on the market. Every man who has had to drag a heavy section of hose around will appreciate this last advantage. The saving in weight is ac- complished by an ingenious idea. It is a well known fact that the supply of water passing through a hose is governed by the smallest internal diameter of any part of that hose and as the couplings of a %-ineh hose are V^ inch at the shank the stream is practically reduced to that size. Now the hose that we refer to is made % inch throughout except at the ends, which are enlarged to admit a regular %-inch coupling, so the size of the stream is not reduced and practically the same amount of water passes as through the ordinary %-inch hose.

THE BETTER PLAN, "Which of these two systems of heat- ing with hot water is the better? Euu a 4-inch main to the far end of the house and drain with runs of 2-inch pipes under each bench into a 4-inch return at the lower end of the house. Or run a 4-inch flow along the lower end of the house, have a 2-inch outlet from the main supplying n coil of 2-inch pipes under each bench, coming back into a 4-inch return beneath the floor. Is 2-iuch too large pipe for the heat- ing coils? J. C. F. The 4-ineh main, or riser, will give a less restricted flow than the 2-inch. It will also give a little more radiation than the two 2-inch pipes. If it is de- sirable to get the greatest efficiency and the greatest radiation, the 4-inch pipe will prove most satisfactory. In hot water heating with an open circuit it is customary to nse flow and return pipes of the same size, usually 3 or 4 inch. With hot water under pressure the coils are frequently made from IVi-inch pipe, and the flow pipes in proportion to the amount of radiation to be supplied. Two-inch pipe is not too large for coils. The size of the pipe is not of as much moment as the square feet of radiation. Neither the size of the house nor the number of feet or heating pipe are stated, so we cannot .judge of this pro- portion. L. C. C. PIPING. How much 2-iuch pipe willTje required to heat a house 16x100? North gutter is six feet, well protected, south wall four and one-half feet with eighteen inches of glass: both ends glass, nine and one-half feet to ridge. Winds from the west are coldest. S. & B. To maintain a temperature of 70 de- grees in the house mentioned with hot water at ISO degrees it will require twelve runs of 2-inch pipe the full length of the house. This house requires 750 feet of radiation, to supply which it requires 1,200 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe. If the water is not maintained at 180 degrees, but runs about 160 degrees, it will require more piping. Fifteen runs the full length of the house will then be required to hold the temperature at 70 degrees. The purpose for which the house is intended is not specified, so I have assumed that 70 degrees would be the maximum temperature required. L. C. C. The WOLF IMPROVED SYSTEM BJENTILSTING APPARATUS Is now operating houses 50 to 740 feet long and is especially adapted to the present style of commercial greenhouses. Is the only system that has proven successful in raising the sash uniform on very long houses, using only one machine, operating from either end or center of house, opening sash on one or both sides of ridge pole, from either top or bottom. Less machines are required, convenience and labor saved in the operation of same, lightness and durability combined. If you are building a new range and need Ventilating Apparatus of any kind and desire to purchase the most economical machine, estimates will be furnished you with a 10-year guarantee, based upon actual results obtained after seven years' experience in the operation of long houses. The heaviest single line of sash raised by one single machine is equal to one continuous sash 22y}4 feet long by 4)^ feet deep. Send dimensions of your houses, with number, size and position of sash.

"BLRNHAM" SECTIONAL BOILERS HOU surely intend to make your business grow and have provided room to extend the greenhouses you are building. NOW IS THE TIME to think of your heating apparatus. If you buy a BURNHAM SECTIONAL BOILER you can get one just the size for your present needs, and later on when you need more heat for additional greenhouse space or a higher temperature in one part of your present structure, all you need to do is to add as many more sections to your boiler as may be necessary. RRESPECTIVE of your future re- quirements, the boilers are the best, because : ' They are economical of fuel. Require no masonry setting except the usual brick bed. Equal to the best tubular steam boilers, while the cost of setting is much less. Contain a larger direct heating surface per foot of grate than any other boilers. Fitted with improved rocking and dump- ing grates which make firing easy. We also make Round "Burnham" Boil- ers for greenhouses of moderate size.

Then there will be breathing time, extreme satisfaction -nith the general result, we hojie, and a new order of work and crops will engage each one's mind and energy. Utilizing Left-Over Stock. Very few of the plants we grow for Easter that may be left unsold are worth the room and care to carry them over for another year, yet there are some which are. Let us look over the list. It will depend somewhat on conditions. If you have an abundance of deep, rich, easily worked land at your service you might save the bulbs of tulips, hyacinths and narcissi. After drying them off in the flats, store them away till next October or November and then plant them out. The.v will give you flowers of a certain quality, yet the.y are now cut off so close to the bulb, just when the foliage shouM be nourishing a formation of the new flowering bulb, that it is hardly worth bothering with these old forced bulbs. For .years we have dumped the flats in the back yard, where a small army of old women bring their fingers and a basket and leave the soil in good condition t(' sell for surfacing lawna. We have never tried planting out thf bulbs of the Japan longiflorum, but w? have often done this with LUium Har- risU, that is, with plants that were not cut down too close to the pots, and they have thrown up a good flowering stem in July or August. Some Useless Plants. Primula obconica has with us been j most useful late winter and Easter plant. This ends them; unless they are plants of phenomenal color or size of florets don 't think of saving them. They are better in every way, particularly in cost, when raised from seed. And just now is a good time to sow. Remember I am speaking of plants only that you may have left over, from one cause or an- other. Rhododendrons are perfectly useless to us. In many localities they could be planted out as hardy shrubs. There is so much lime in our soil that the only use we could make of a once forced rhododendron, kalmia or Azalea mollis would be to present it to a customer we had a grude against. The cytisus is too cheap a plant to carry over, unless it be a very few, and if you do that let them be entirely out of flower and then cut back quite hard. Cut them back into shape and give them a night tempera- ture of 50 degrees and they will mak.'> large plants for next year. A Plant Worth Saving. Acacia armata is worth saving when the flower is quite gone. Say in three or four weeks cut the last summer's growth back to within three inches of the previous year 's growth and they will break and make a new growth that will make the flowering wood for nest year. The metrosideros, or bottle brush, re- quires just about the same treatment. In treating these shrubs (for shrubs they are, in their native clime) after flowering we must not starve them for want of heat or water, for after the cutting down they make the growth which is to produce the flowers of next season, as do our hardy shrubs, such as the lilac, in the months of June and July. I scarcely like to say anything about Crimson Rambler roses, yet there may be a few plants of these left and if cut down the.v will make several strong growths from the base of the plant, which if encouraged to grow and given a shift two months later, would make great plg^ts for another year. 1 have seen Astilbe (Spiraea) japonic.^ planted out in several places but it does not amount to anything. Perhaps if you any unsold plants, cut them down to within five or six inches of the pot, give them light and heat and they will make a growth and with plenty of root room will make large plants for another year, too large for any greenhouse forcing un- less you have an unusual demand. The hydrangeas rooted this last January or February are the plants for Easter. The Azaleas. And now we come to the azalea, I think today the most popular plant we have and the one above all others that it pays to give the best of care to the left-over plants. Year after year our finest flow- ered plants, particularly the large sizes, are plants that we have had one or two years. The azaleas we import from Bel- gium are all grown in peat and are potted when they reach here in quite a different soil, for peat is found only in a few localities. But peat is not essential to azaleas, only that being grown in that soil they do not take quickly to the loam that we of necessity have to give them. If given a mixture of loam and leaf soil when received in the fall, and the drain- age of the pot is air right, they will thrive in the same pot for three or four years. When the bloom is gone and the foliage is healthy and abundant, shorten back all the growth about half its length. If you wish the plant to have that rcnuided shape, which almost all the im- Brtardiff Greenhouses' First Prue Vase of Beauties at Philadelphia. had a cool, moist, black muck you might make it a profitable herbaceous plant, but I have never seen it such, and cut down plants, which you are sure to have plenty of, should be consigned to the diunp pile. Hyrlrangea Otaksa soon grows to be young "white elephants" and they must be well-grown and sell at a good price to be profitable. If you want to grow on ported plants have, then you cut back the growths to an even surface. But a good many prefer a plant of an irregular or more natural form. If the plant is in a healthy, vigorous state very little cutting back or pinching of the shoots need be done. Merely pinching out the old seed pods will suffice. To repeat, the growth that the azaleas are now making is what later will terminate in a flower bud and 986 The Weekly Florists' Review. JiARLH 31, 19U1. give you the blossom for nest winter. If you come into possession of some azaleas ihat luive been dried out or abused and have lost their young growth, then take tlie shears and cut them back hard; never mind if you leave scarcely a leaf on them, Put them into a house at about 55 degrees at night and once or twice a day syringe them and they wiU surprise you with the number of breaks they will make. I don't want to go into the summer treatment of azaleas just now, so will only say keep them growing in a most genial heat till early June, when they should be plunged outside in the broad sun. Some Easter Novelties. We tried several things for Easter this year that we thought would be a novelty in our city and hence profitable. Our experience is already sufficiently ad- vanced to learn that we are out of dollars in cash and labor and space on our benches. Cydonia japoniea and Prunus triloba, and I may as well add Wistaria sinensis, are very beautiful in the imagi- nation when well flowered in a 7 or 8-inch pot, but the imagination and anticipa- tion, like many earthly joys, are about all there is of it. Perhaps in communities where wealth is a burden and when well done, these pretty flowering shrubs may be appreciated, but they are very diffi- cult to do well and there are so many other pretty plants and flowers that we can dispense with them. An Ulrich Brunner rose in a 6-inch pot, with a dozen blooms, or a Lawson carnation in a 6-inch pot, with twenty flowers and buds, will outsell them any day. Don't Overlook the Failures. Although I have been giving you my views to the very best of my knowledge on how to take care of the plants wortli crops. If you had a bench 4x100 of azaleas and every one sold, that would seem good, but if in the same house you had a bench the same size of blind hydran- geas and none sold, it would take all the profit off the azaleas and you may as well not have a greenhouse at all. Some men dislike to discard any old pets. In the terribly keen competition of today you can 't afford to have hobbies or fa- vorites unless they bring a revenue, and rather than waste time, labor and costly space with doubtful old plants, pitch them out and grow something you know you are master of. Every time you have a square foot of bench room that returns you nothing you have wiped out the profits of another foot that you are very proud of. Bedding Flints. The much needed space is now at hand and those engaged in the bedding plant business will have plenty to do from now on. With us the most important thing will be to get our zonale geraniums shifted from 3 to 4-inch pots. Don 't use a light, rich soil or they will go to leaf. Let the soil be a heavy loam, pot firmly and if you have no well decayed manure to add to the soil (about a fifth) then use a 5-inch pot of bone flour to a bushel of soil, but pot firmly. * Poinsettias. It 's about time' to bring up the dormant poinsettias that have been resting beneath the bench. Shake off all the old soil and repot in any size that will hold the roots. Cut back to sound, fresh wood and start growing and in five or six weeks you will get cuttings. Diblia f^uttings.

The plantsman who makes money is the one who grows his plants the nearest to perfection and sells out clean on all his tural journal that has ever happened up to date, in this broad land, or any other land. The article by Mr. Peacock on "The Propagation of the Dahlia" is only one of the many good things. Just as Mr. Peacock gets down to that fine point and tells you to take the cutting when it has "developed three pairs of leaves, ' ' he does not say whether it should be taken off the tuber with a so-called "heel" or not. And he does not say whether or not the cutting, if it is minus the heel, should be cut at or just below a joint. Immaterial as it is to cut most soft-wooded cuttings at a joint, I have always been led to suppose that unless a dahlia cutting was cut at the joint it would make roots but never form tubers. Is that right or is it a fallacy, Mr. Pea- cock? William Scott. SPECIAL AWARDS AT ROSE SHOW.

In conferring the presidency upon Alex- niider Montgomery, of Natick, Mass., the members of the American Rose Society in annual session at Philadelphia last week did credit to themselves and their ori;anization, for their choice is one who has labored long for the rose, and ac- inniplished much, a man of the trade than whom there are few indeed who have ( outributed more largely to the advance- ment of commercial rose growing in America. Like so many of our best men, Mr. Mnntgomery is a native of the land of the heathci", born in 1848, at Port Will- iam in the south of Scotland. The son of a gardener, he served an apprentice- ship at the trade on the estate of the Earl of Galloway, later becoming garden- er at Dysart House, the seat of the Earl of Roslyn. Until he was 24 he spent his time on various private places in Eng- land, arriving at Boston in 1872. Herr he worked at gardening on several estates, notably that of Wm. Gray, whom he brought into the front rank of ex- hibitors at the Boston shows. It was in 18S0 that he joined forces with E. M. \Voo 'for general discu(ssion. Now grafted Brides and Maids are the principal varie- ties grown under the 300,000 feet of glas : at Waban. Other varieties are Beauty. Liberty, Golden Gate, Ivory and Mrs. Morgan, the latter in good quantity. Chrysanthemums are also a specialty here and are grown to perfection, it b - ing on record that the flowers have upo-i occasion brought as high as $1 a bloom in the Boston market. Valley and as- paragus may also be mentioned as among the items grown. Mr. Montgomery married, as all good gardeners do, and has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son, Alexande.. Jr., a graduate of Amher.st, being asso- ciated with his father as assistant su- perintendent at Waban. Mr. Montgom- erv's friends say that the son is "a chip ofl' the old block," for he. too, is an e"- thusia.st on the rose, having done mmli careful hybridizing to so good result th •' he has a pink seedling which will soon be heard from, doubtless in a year or two. URGEIA COMBINED MEETING. The following is the communication nf the committee of the American Carnation Society presented to last week's meeting of the American Rose Society, argui- that the exhibitions of the two societies should be held in the same city and on practically the same dates. This was supplemented by an invitation from the Chicago Florists' Club, but the sentiment of the rosarians seems to have been unanimous against leaving the east, rc;- sibly the purpose of the committee mav be accomplished upon occasion when the Carnation Society again goes east: To THE American Rose Societt : The American Carnation Society, by its com- mittee, sends greeting, and asks for a thoughtful consideration of and a friend- ly response to the following statement and invitation. At the annual meeting of the American Carnation Society held in Detroit. March 2 and 3, the society adojited the follow- ing: Resolved, That the chair shall an- jioiiit a cipniiiiittee of thre.' to confer A. Farenwald's Vase of Liberty Shown at Philadelphia. with the American Rose Society at ils approaching meeting and induce the sail Rose Society, if possible, to hold its next meeting in the same city with this so- L-iety and upon the days immediately pre- ceding »r immediately following the meet- ing of this society, or upon the same days if deemed advisable. Under this resolution the chair an- pointed the undersigned as such commit- tee and we most sincerely urge you to accept the invitation. While .some of the members of each society are only directly in- terested in the rose or in the carnation, as the case may be, the majority of the members are interested alike in the one flower and in the other. Nearly all such members feel heavily the expense and loss of time involved in at- tending one convention, and are unable to attend both meetings when they ar ■ held in separate cities as has been the custom heretofore. The attendance upon the meetings of eac!i society ought to be largely increas?.. and doubtless many florists who have never attended either meeting will be at- tracted by an opportunity to witness such a display as would be brought out 1)V the joint efforts of our two societies. Good fellowship would be promoted and tlie niciiibership of each society largely auamented. Many new and interesting carnation seedlings are displayed each year and a joint exhibition would tend to stimulate ;Mid encourage those who are working fov the production of new varieties of roses, and would doubtless induce others to take up this line of work. Such a result would redound to the credit of your so- ciety and would be a benefit to the trade at large. We firmly believe that a joint exhibi- tion of our two societies will be so at- tractive that the local club in the place of meeting would be justified in chargin ■ an admission fee, which would lighten the burden of entertainment. The next meeting of the American Carnation Society will be held in the cit>- of Chicago, the exact date to be deter- mined by the board of directors, thev having been requested by the society to select a date either in the last week of January or in the first week of Februa'- We hope you will see fit to meet wit'i us in Chicago and that you will author- ize some person or committee to confer with us to tjie end that arrangements mnv be made best suited to the conveni- ence of both societies. Assuring you that the American Car- nation Society as a body is deeply in- terested in your success, we beg to sub- scribe ourselves, Cordially yours, J. A. Valentine. E. G. Hill. E.

Tlie baiiiiui'l U'liiloieJ by tlie i'loiists' Club of Pliibidelphia to tlie American Rose Society was a great success. The menu card was a gem of its kind, the literary quotations appended to eacli toast being exceedingly appropriate and tlie whole a great credit to the man who constructed it. The genial inventor of the world famous Wcstcott Punch, the president of the club, presided. As cus- tomary the wittiest toastmaster of the city, ex-M;iyor Smith, again enlivened tlio evening with his rare good humor and his quick impromptu sallies as he intro- duced the speakers. His is "the smile-' that won't come ofl'.'' His good nature was infectious. Henry A. Siehrecht responded to "Our Honored Guests." His theme was the Rose Society, its work, influence and fu- ture. His eloquent speech was heartily applauded. Wm. f. Gude, of Washint;- ton, the youngest ex-president of the S. A. F., gave a patriotic and stirring ora- tion to the' toast "Our Country." J. Ottn Thilow, of H. A. Dreer Co., made- hi< maiden effort and surprised all with hi^ flow of language and the strong, earnest ring of enthusiastic devotion to his sub- ject, "Horticulture." In the absence of President BreitmeyeT, his brother Fred had a few pleasant remarks to offer on the subject of "Floriculture" and ac- quitted himself well. The Demosthenes of the trade, the ehi- quent Robert Craig, gave an address of rare pathos and beauty to the toast of "The Eose," the hearts of all present go- ing out to him in sympathy and good will. He received an ovation. Wm. K. Harris, the deacon of the cult, whoso years sit lightly, was in rare good humor and gave a brief address to the toast, "Ourselves; Who's Like Us?" Di-. Geo. Goebel descanted modestly on the virtues of his profession, to the toast of "Onr Preservers" and Patrick O'Mara did himself and New York proud in a bril- liant address to the comprehensive toast "The Twentieth Century." John Bur- ton's beautiful tribute to "The Absent" was listened to with appreciative inter- est. A silent toast was given to thoso who had passed away. Informal addresses were made by th^ new president of the society, Alexander Montgomery; by Benj. Hammond, of Fishkill; A. H. Langjahr, of New York, Mr. Butterworth, and many others. A poem on the rose prepared for the oc- casion was read by the writer and the "Press" was responded to by W. J. Stew- art, of Boston. The whole affair was a credit to the efficient committee, which was composed of John Westcott, Wm. K. Harris, Edwin Lonsdale, J. Wm. Colflesh. Robert Kift. Geo. Craig, Geo. C. Watson and David Rust. Some splendid music and solos \verc rendered by an artist specially engaged for the evening and the songs of Messrs. Butterworth and Lonsdale involved the whole company in the chorus. The bowling contest at Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon, between team« from Baltimore. Washington and Phila- delphia was a very interesting event and Some grand scores were made, several goinr; over the 200 mark and one or two making better than 240. Each city will have a great team at St. Louis. As usual the courtesy of winning was generouslv accorded Philadelphia by the visitors.Th- alloys are superb and the enthusiasm wa: music to the stranaevs' oars. THE ROSE. 'riu'y suy a rose by any other uaiue would .iinell as sweet. Hut. don't you know. It seems to me that name is hard to beat. I've tried a dozen others, while inhaling its perfume: I've called it, O a hundred names, enraptured by its bloom! But after all I must confess, and you will I suppose. There's not a name can just as deftly touch your hearts, as Rose. Try calling it a "violet" and realize how blue X name lihe that would make you feel; I'm sure 'twould never do. .Vnd even the "carnation" name, don't seem to at at all. Xor "lily" fair, nor maidenhair, no name amongst them all. There's nothing anywhere, me thinlis, that Old Dame Nature grows. Ill fruit or Hower. on tree or bower, that's half so sweet as Rose. Her children fair and beautiful come tripping o'er the lea. Not one of all but finds a warm embrace from you and me. There's dear old Jacq and Marechal Niel, and modest Bon Silene; And stately Mermet Catherine and Edgely's queenly Queen, .\iid glorious Beauty, which is still the sweetest dower that blows; But. after all. no name appeals to me lilve Mother Rose. O: What a lovely family the dear old lady's reared. Since the first rose, w^ith blushing face in Eden's bower appeared. ' Such children these, so pure, so proud, so beau- tiful, every girl And boy of them, what e'er their age, from Uncle John to Perle; Miss Liberty, the gay brunette, and her Brides- maid; I suppose, A]\ proud to bend their heads in reverence to Mother Rose. Some with a touch of Irish blood and some that need no blarney. Like Siebreeht's Belle and Chatenay and ever dear Killarney. While .etrolling lovingly along with coquetry adroit. Behold angelic maiden. Bride, and her new love. Detroit. » X family reunion, this, as everybody knows; Lets join the happy company and drink to Mother Rose. If I could be a boy again, my first sweetheart would be .V laughing, blushing little angel, trolicksome and free. 1 wouldn't ask her pedigree, nor bother whence she came. But confidentially, I tell you. Rose would be her name. If I should ever marry one of Eve's fair daugh- ters, say. I swear, it wouldn't be because she's wealthy, anyway. Of course a little money, just for comtort and protection, .\nd stately form, brown eyes and pearly teeth are no objection. But when you look thei records up, I tell you just the same. You'll surely find it written there that Rtisie was her name. .Vnd if. as happens often, later on a stork should come And in a basket bring a little one to bless the home, I wouldn't then Investigate, not while the nurse was 'round. Nor care what sex might afterwards by acci- dent be found; But cuddling Mother Rosic's face right close to mine. I'd say. "No matter, boy or girl, dear. Rose, let's call it anyway." When I and all most dear come to the "parting of the way." Life's happy journey ended and night's shadow on my day. If this earthly habitation you to Mother Earth consign. And examining the records, you should find no blot on mine. Then, I pray you. see the silent home wherein my clay reposes. Is perpetually kept a-bloom through all the years, with roses. .\ik1 if. perchance, my soul immortal reaches Heaven's gate, .\ih1 Sir Peter should permit me any preference to state. I'll ask him to direct me where the florists' gardens blossom. Not the section where carnations reign, not the odontoglossom. But the place of many .mansions where each florist's soul reposes. ,Tust the sweetest part of Heaven, just the homeplace of tlie Roses, J. Al'STIN SHAW. CARNATION NOTES— WE5T. Seasonable Notes. Afle.r Easter we usually look for warm- er weather, and where Easter comes about the second or third Sunday in April we can do with very little fire heat afterward in this section. Right h^iie I want to remind you that when- ever you ap]dy these notes to your own place, you must consider first whetfier your climatic conditions are the same as ours and act accordingly. I'oi instance, if Mr. Scott would try to fol low them to the letter he would fin I himself very often just about three wee ~ ahead of time. I am sure he wouhl not think of stopping firing for his car- nations before May, or later, and if wo would start some of our plants and so a our seeds on the dates he recommends we would often find ourselves way be- hind the season. Mr. Scott's Seasonable Hints are very useful to us indeed, but we must always keep from two to three weeks ahead of his dates. You will find it necessary invariably when followiu',' the advice of others to change the date.-^ according to whether you are in the sam ■ climatic zone as the writer, ludianan olis would come in a class with St. Louis. Columbus, Pittsburg and possibly Cin- cinnati, 0., while Chicago, Cleveland ami Bufl'alo are fully two weeks later and Louisville, Ky., and others in line with it are fully ten days ahead of us. When 1 write I take Indianapolis as a base to work on and you can judge for yourse i how the date should be changed to suii your locality. Always bear this in mind. But to return to our knitting. Easter onnies tolerably early this year and un- less we have a big change from the kind of weather we are having this week wo will not be able to take oft our night man for a few weeks. Of course, we will liave a cool night occasionally, which will necessitate a little fire heat and arrangements should be made to give it when it is necessary. Those who grow roses need not give this matter so much thought as the grower who grows car- nations only. The former has to keep i"' his fires way into the summer and the fireman will turn on or off the pipes in tlie carnation houses as they are needed, but when it is a question of keeping the iiioht man on duty at night regular!' «hen fire heat will be needed only one or two nights in a week is quite anothe; question. We are always glad to change file night man to day dutv at the verv curliest opportunity, not only because of the .saving in wages and fuel, but alsc hecause from now on the work is pilimr up and all hands are' kept on the jump to keep things in shape. The houses should never be allowed to run down much below the proper tem- |ioratnre, else you will have a big cron of split calyxes and the saving in fuel and wages will be more than eaten ir by ruined blooms through splitting. Whenever tliere is no fire boat the house* should never be closed tight, but ther" should be at least an inch of air on and in fact that much air can always be left on at this time of the sea.son. as it will not lower the temperature much, while it will do the plants great good. I would rather have the temperature at 48 de- grees with an inch of air on than at .52 degrees with no air and no fire heat. .Mso be sure you do your waterin.sr earl ■ enough so the plants will be dry when iiiolit comes, and keep the walks as drv Makch 3], 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review. 989 o o CO n o' m o TJ o as possible, too. These things will keen the dampness from rising during a cool night and far less damage will result from a sudden drop in the temperature during the night. Of course, every wet. r:iinv night will call for fire heat to keen tlie houses dry, even if it requires a coupie of inches of air to keep the tem- perature down. A. F. J. Bauk. A HOUSE OF LILIES. The accompanying illustration is a re- ])roduction of a very fine photograph of n remarkable house of lilies at the es- tablishment of Weber Bros., north of Chicago. This is the house which J. F. Ammann, of St. Louis, pr-anouflced— six- weeks ago to be the best lot of lilies he ever saw and certainly they" "have come along in fine shape and are a testimonial lo the skill of the growers. A more evea lot could hardly be asked for. These are longiflorums, 7 to 9 bulbs and were su- plied by W. W. Barnard & Co. E. C. Amling sells the Weber output and had most of this stock ordered up well in ad- \ance. GEORGE FANCOURT. It was a great shock to learn of the un- timely death of George Fancourt, of Kingston, Pa., which occurred on Sun- day morning, March 27. And we of Buffalo are but a few who will mourn his deatli, for he was widely known in (be large cities of the east. George was a frequent visitor to our city, and it can be most truthfully said that to know him was to love him. Gifted far above the average man, a lover of the best litera- ture, eloquent, witty, generous, broad- minded and, withal, a gardener and florist of the first water, he was highly esteemed and respected in the communitV in which he lived. Mr. Fancourt had within a few years built an entirely new range of hoiises, some 50,000 feet, but the climate of the Wyoming valley not agreeing with th" health of his family, he sold his estate to Mr. Marvin, of Wilkesbarre. A month ago he made up his mind to make S])n kaue his future home. He told the writer that floriculture in that far off stat" was yet in its infancy, but he believed "the star of empire glittered in the west and if not best for him it was giving his sons and daughters a better chance in the world and he would go. And this day, March 29, they were to start on their long journey. Two weeks ago on Ids return home from the west he speni a day with us all and seemed bright and cheery, with only perhaps a little inde- cision whether to take that long journe.' or accept a very fine position offered him in one of our lake cities. It seems, how- ever, he had decided to go to Spokane. His death, or its cause, is and perhap- ever will be a mystery. Life is a mys- tery and what comes after is still a greater. George had a proud, independ- ent spirit and who will ever know the wounds that spirit received and who will over know the many kind acts that he extended to his less fortunate brother men, friends or not. for his was a nature most happy when making others happv We have the deepest sympathy for his stricken wife and family, two sons and two daughters, just growing into man and womanhood. The writer believes he knew George Fancouit as few did know him. He ad- 990 The Weekly Florists^ Review, Makch 31, 1904. mired him for his gifted mind, for his independent spirit and his generous, ycl fearless character. We have lost a dear and valued friend and our profession has lost a bright star. He never sought prominence in our trade societies, al- though well fitted to adorn any oflice, unselfish to the! last degree. "And e'en his failings leaned to virtue's side.*' w. s. <«^>«^.s ^ >«-=?^-»T^«^i^ <«L>«-i^ BEGINNINGS IN DESIGN... f'fe»l'*^.>*^=fK'^^i^(»g|^^.^>^;fS, (•^l*^!*^ V«J«.. S V -♦=*^l*=gj*^i«2: THE STANDING CROSS. The Frame. In preparing to make a large standing piece, as is pictured here, it" is well to have in mind a few hints about select- ing the frame. Not only is the broad base essential to the looks of the piece, but also to its ability to stand alone. A cross such as we propose to discuss today is probably four to six feet high. No attempt should be made to construct a small piece after this style. To properly balance a design of this height or over, the base should be almost, if not alto- gether, as broad as the distance across the arms. Otherwise the upright piece may lean or twist, and give the specta- tors a very uncomfortable sensation, even if there is no danger of a fall. To guard against any such danger, we have sometimes taken the precaution to have our wire worker extend the cross frame down to the bottom of the base, instead of wiring it to the top of the frame, as is safe enough to do with a light, small design. A 'ivord here in regard to compactness in the construction of floral designs. Never consider a piece finished until it can be handled or shipped without dan- ger of displacing one flower or leaf. The first step in securing this safe con- dition is the critical inspection of the frame to see that it is well balanced and proportioned. A round base and the or- dinary fiat frame are used here. FiUing. Set the empty frame upright before you. Cover the inside bottom of the base with the lining of wood ferns, as was done in the base of the broken column. Next fill the base solidly witli sphagnum and wrap over the top as before. It is not necessary to use the best of the wood ferns for this pur-pose; culls, broken fronds and second class stock will do, although it takes more of them than of good ferns. Often the wood ferns that have been badly wilted may be made as good as new by being plunged in water, frond and stem, and left there over night. Watch these odds and ends. Clean them all up for these purposes, rather than throw them in the trash box. Now, lay the empty cross down on its back, allowing the base to extend out beyond the (idge of the work table, so that the cross itself may lie perfectly flat and not bend the frame. Line the inside of the frame all around with the ferns and fill with sphagnum. Wrap the face of the cross frame with lacings of hemp about three inches apart. Again place the frame upright ready for the flowers. Cut the picks and pre- pare the I'uniatiDns, nr whatever suit- able background flowers are to be usea, in the same way as was done for the broken column. Fill the cross solid with the carnations, precisely as in the case of the main part of the shaft. Cover all sides of the cross, if the price will allow. If not, cover the front and edges. Trimming. In the engraving there is a garland extending from the right end of the left arm across the center of the cross to the lower left hand corner of the right arm, from that point along the right side of tao body of the cross, disappear- ing, and reappearing a little farther up on the left side, and falling to the base on the same side. The same general in- structions as applied to the construction of the rose garland in the last study will apply to any other garland, except that in handling softer stems more care must be exercised to prevent breaking and crushing them. There is another way of producing this garland effect, besides making the garland completely before fastening it in its place on the piece: Stem the flowers separately on three-quartcv picks, leav- ing their stems four or five inches long. Insert the stemmed end into the sphag- num on the back of the frame, with the flower at an angle of about forty-five degrees to the upright piece of the frame. Let the flower stalk be bent around the frame toward the front, and be fastened in its place with a tie of No. 36 wire drawn so tightly around the body of the frame that it disappears between the background flowers. The flowers on the left side are inserted on the side of the frame, instead of on the back, and are erect. But they will need the same fas- tening as the others. Continue this gar- land effect down to the base on the left side, thickening it gradually as it ap- - proaches the lower end. Next cover the base over the sphagnum with wood ferns laid flat, all around, back, front and sides, and extending out several inches beyond the edge. Many other flowers might be used in trimming the base but they should have stems one to two feet long. To stem lilies, Harrisii and its kind, insert a W'hole pick half way up inside of the stem from the bottom. If the stem does not split, that is all the work that is needed. But if the stem does split, wrap with No. 24 wire, as you would a rose with No. 36 wire. Stem irises the same way as the lilies, except a little more carefully, as they have softer stems if they are from forced stock. We often find this class of flowers so soft that they cannot be stemmefl. In such a case bore The Standing Cross. March 31, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review. 99 J H a- 2 I* > O o 3 a deep hole in the sphagnum, plant the stem in it and repack the moss hard around it. But this could not he done with any considerable number of tlow- era together. Instead of grouping the irises and lilies, as was done in the base of the broken column, the base herg is filled in all around. A few fall over the edge on the front and sides. The large leaves used are those of the Cyeas revoluta. Many florists use the dried and painted leaves, but it seems to me that the leaves in their natural state are much to be preferred. Wash them and rub vigorously with a woolen cloth and you will get a polish which is far superior to the painted glaze. Sharpen the lower end of the stem and it will be ready for inserting into the base. No artificial stem is needed. Cyoas revoluta, as its variety name indicates, throws its leaves out in circular form, and this is the most significant hint we can obtain as to their correct arrange- ment in the base of the design. Close to the lower end of the cross, push the sharpened ends into the sphagnum as far as they will go, in a circular position, the larger leaves at the back. Eelieve the set appearance of the front of the liase with a cluster of wood ferns. Stem tliem in groups, three or four to a pick, around it in a circle, and wired on like ;iio bunches of sweet alyssum, except that their thin, wiry stems may be placed regularly or irregularly on the pick, as is most convenient. Critical Notes It would not detract from the richness and dignity of this arrangement to have varied the lengths of stem of the flowers in the base considerably, and also to have grouped the two or three kinds of flowers a little more closely, according to their kind. By this I mean clustering the lilies more nearly together, and the irises by themselves, that is, the bulk of them. Then to relieve the stiffness to which the extreme of this arrangement tends, scatter a smaller number of the two kinds between the groups, and blend the opposite kinds, as a painter blends his various colors into a harmonious whole. A good example of this kind of trimming was seen in the base trimming of the broken column in our last study. The larger and smaller kinds of flow- ers in the upper end of the garland change too abruptly. The finer flowers should extend farther down into the larger spray on one side, while a scat- tering cluster of the larger flowers be- low should be carried up farther into the fine spray that points the garland. Going back to the base again if the lilies used are Harrisii or longiflorum, the stalks with buds would be more stately than the individually stemmed nowers. Geetrudb Blair. A NEW WHITE ASTER. At the Milwaukee convention of the !S. A. F. last August one of the exhibits which] attracted no little attention was a vase of a new white aster shown by C. A. Olmstead, of East Bloomfield, N. Y. This is now being introduced as Olni- stead's White Commercial. Speaking of it Mr. Olmstead says: The new aster has a stem fifteen to eighteen inches long, slishtl.y curved, bearing the flower gracefullv to one side, and of sufiicient strength to support the blooms. In size and form it is distinct from all others. With good fleld cul- ture I have raised hundreds of blooms that were se'ven inches in diameter, full to the center, and with four to five other large ones on the same plant ; but the av- erage size, under outdoor cultivation, is about four and one-half inches, five to seven blooms on each plant. They are of unusual form, pure white and good keepers. We find the Review essential to a well regulated florists' business. — H B. Mitchell & Son, Waterville, Me. Wichita, Kan. — A. T. Buckeridge has several promising seedling carnations, .some of which he thinks as good as Mrs. Lawson. Syracuse, N. Y. — Henry Smith has re- cently returned from a somewhat lengthy European trip. He is the superintendent of the New York State Fair. Midland, Mich. — E. C. Thayer has built a greenhouse of 1,800 square feet and installed a steam heating plant. It is a new departure for this town. 992 The Weekly Florists' Review. March 31, 1904. THE SPRING SHOW AT BOSTON. Till- aiuiual >|.riM,L; rxliiLiitiuii vi t\w Massacliusetls Huiticultural Society, which closed on Jlareh 27, was one of the btst tlie society has ever held. Tlie ar- ran{,'enient was excellent and that the •leneial public appreciated the improve- nient shown was evidenced by the large attendance on all fair days. The cut llowers were displayed in the lecture hall and made a fine showing. Roses were shown by only a few exhibi- tors, but the quality was superb. W:i- ban Rose Conservatories were first for American Beauties, F. R. Pierson Co. being second. In the "any other variety" class Waban Rose Conservatories took first and second with splendid vase's of Golden Gate and Ivory. John N. May showed his new rose. General JIacArthur. of very pleasing color, but not in the estimation of the judges equal to Liberty. ■ For hybrids Col. Charles Pfaff won all the prizes. Carnations made a superb show and th.- quality was first-class. For vase of lOn blooms, six varieties, Wni. Nicholson won with a magnificent vase, M. A. Patten be- ing second and Wilfred Wheeler third. For light pink Wm. Nicholson was first with Enchantress and M. A. Patten sec- ond, with the same variety. For third place J. W. Foote won with Fair Maids which beat half a dozen other entries of Enchantress. In crimson Harry Fenn took all the prizes, M. A. Patten, S. J. Goddard and Wilfred Wheeler winning in the order named. Mrs. Lawson mo nopolized the dark pink class, Mr. Pat- ten taking first place, followed by L. E. Small and E. A. & W. K. Wood. In scarlets M. A. Patten won first and sec- ond with Adonis and J. H. Manley, L. E. Small being third also with Manley. In a good class of whites Wm.^ Nichol- son won with his fine Governor Wolcott. H. A. Stevens being second with the same variety and M. A. Patten, third, with Boston Market. For yellow Pat- ten was first with Dorotliy. Wiitney. Backer & Co. being second with Eldo- rado. E. A. & W. K. Wood, won on \ariegated with Gaiety. For pansies Mrs. E. M. Gill and J. R. Comley won. Violets we're not so . well shown as usual. For 100 Campbells N. F. Comley, Malcolm Qrr, and George Melvin won. N. F. Comley, and J. A. Beebe had the best Marie Louis?. For any other double N. F. Comley took first and second with Neapolitan jind. Swan- ley White. For 100 singles Wm. Sim was easily first, N. F. Comley second and Geo. Melvin third, all showing Princess of Wales. For the best display of cut orchids. Peter Murray, gardener to W. P. Win- ter, won the Appleton silver gilt medal with a fine display of 120 bottles. Geo. Melvin, gardener to Col. Chas Pfafi', won the silver medal. . , Tliero Were numerous miscellaneous exhibits. A few of the best were : Ches- ter Roper carnation from A. Roper, the raiser of the popular Fair Maid, a beau- tiful variegated variety of pleasing form, awarded a certificate of merit. White La'wson from F. R. -Pierson Co. received a similar award. This is not as pure a white as could be desired, but it will doubtless sell well, thanks in a. large part to its name. John X. M.ay's.new variety, The Bride, received honorable mention. It is not equal to L. E. Small's seedling white. No. .3. which received the same award. S. J. Goddard's seed- ling. Helen Goddard. received honorable mention. It is just I he iiieal carnation in form, of good size and is a fine rosy pink color. This variety, as well as Mr. Small's seedling, will no doubt receive a higher award at some future show. Other seedlings were shown by A. Roper and Miss E. J. Clark, John Ash, gar- dener. Peter Fisher showed large vases of Mrs. M. A. Patten and Nelson Fisher of liis usual high quality. M. A. Patten also showed 100 handsome Mrs. M. A. Patten. Tlie same exhibitor showed some tine zonale pelargoniums. William Sim had large vases of magnificent sweet ])eas, Mont Blanc and Blanche Ferry, re- leiving a cultural commendation for the same, also splendid Princess of Wales \iolets. Mrs. S. M. Sears showed Gar- denia florida and Mrs. E. M. Gill a mis- cellaneous display. The display of pot plants was quite extensive, entirely filling the large ex- hibition hall as well as part of the loggia and lecture hall. In the classes for bulb- cius plants the most successful competi- trirs were E. A. Clark, Wm. Riggs, gar- dener; the Bussey Institution and Mrs.' J. L. Gardner, Wm. Thatcher, gardener. Cyclamens were again up to Boston's high standard, plants in 10-inch pots carrying 150 to 200 blooms each. Cin- erarias were also of splendid quality. Tlie leading prize winners in these classes were Geo. F. Fabyan, James Stuart, gar- dener; E. A. Ciark, Wm. Riggs, gar- dener; E. J. Mitton, J. Lawson, garden- er, and Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm'. Thatcli- er. gardener. For si.x Azalea indica prizes went to E. W. Breed, E. MoMul- kin and J. A. Beebe. For six ericas. rx)uis Doipuy was first. M. H. Walsh \vas first and second for specimen rose with large, grandly flowered specimens of his new ramblers. Sweetheart and Lady Gay. T. D. Hatfield, gardener to Walter Hunnewell, had a superb dis- |ilay of amaryllises, filling a long table. He secured first for ten plants. For specimen orchid, W. P. Winsor wbn with a piece of Odontoglossum Rossii majus. carrvins fortv flowers. Col. Chas. Pfatl' and E. J. Mitton followed, each showing Dendrobium nobile. For general display of spring bulbs and jilants the Bussey Institution was first with a capital assortment well grown. The same exhibitors had ten large tables filled with a display of forced shrubs, native plants and plants in bloom which was extrc^iely interesting. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had an extensive, beau- tifully arranged bank of bulbous plants intermixed with palms. Isolepis gracilis, panicum and lycopodium. Robert Cam- eron, from the Harvard Botanical Gar- dens, put up a fine group of palms. Pri- mula obconica. some 200 plants of the latter; imantophyllums. etc. Included was a big specimen of Echinocactus Vis- naga which received a botanical certifi- cate. T. D. Hatfield had a similar award for Amorphophallus Rivieri, a mammoth aroid. ■Tulius Roehrs had a circular group of p.ilms, orchids, anthuriums. etc. A rather scarce palm Livistona Woodwardii received honorable mention. Louis Du- puy had a well-grown group of ericas, marguerites, hydrangeas, genistas, etc. Hydrangea Hortensis rosea received a eertifieate of nierit. If it holds its bright pink color for any length of time it will he a decided acquisition. E. W. Con- verse, TTolierl ^l.u shall, gardener, had a line group of palms, cyclamens and Pri- juula obconica. 1". R. Pierson Co. showed for the first lime their new sport from Nephrolepis I'iersoni, which was greatly admired. Mr. Pierson thinks bipinnatifida would be a good name to describe the plant, but a shorter and more catch}- one would be better. The plant received a certificate of merit and may score higher if shown again. The general opinion was that it was a better thing than N. Piersoni but that it was perhaps too dense to please some. J. E. Rothwell had a fine display of orchids, including odontoglossums, onci- diums, cypripediums, etc., arranged with adiantums. Lager & Hurrell had an ex- tra good display of orchids, which com- ]u-ised most of the seasonable varieties. Their dendrobiums were extra good and the quality throughout up to the firm's usual excellence. E. O. Orpet, gardenei' to E. V. R. Thayer, showed several seed- ling orchids, one of which Cattleya x Katherinae (C. Warneri x C. Schroe- devx alba) received a certificate of merit. J. S. Bailey, J. Nylan, gardener, con- tributed a group of dendrobiums. Last but by no means least, M. H. Walsh put up a magnificent group of beautifully flowered specimens oi his new seedling rambler roses, covering nearly 1,000 square feet of space. Many of these plants were in tubs, six feet high and as much across, and it must have been a considerable task to trans- jwrt them from Woods Hole in such fine condition. Certificates of merit were awarded to the varieties Wedding Bells and Babette. Other varieties shown in- eluded Sweetheart, ilinnehaha. Lady Gay. La Fiama, Debutante and Hiawatha. Tliese have already received recognition from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. It is a pity the American Rose Society could not have enjoyed this unique exhibit. W. N. Cbaig. BUFFALO.

We are creatures of the climate we live in and while the rigors and vicissitudes of our northern clime are trying to comforts, as we look upon them, it makes hardv. vigorous, industrious, ambitious men that dominate the world for its betterment, only don't go much farther north than the wheat fields of Manitoba or you will become a musk ox or blubber eatincr Eskimo. Hope is springing verv lively just now that Easter will be a good, rich har- vest and if the elements favor us I be- lieve' ft will. Tliere are a great number of good plants, home grown, to supii'v the expected call and, if they are not snf ticient. Mr. Kasting has gathered together an enormous stock of evervthing desir- Makch 31, 100-1. The Weekly Florists' Review. 993 able in his new and nigre than capacious quarters on EUicott street. W. J. Palmer has a splendid stock of jiopular plants. S. A. Anderson has a fine' lot of lilies and azaleas. J. H. Reb- stoek is good all around and particularly strong in hybrid roses and Ramblers. Mrs. Schoenhut's four or five houses are crammed with Easter stuff'. D. R. New- lands Co. has lilies, azaleas and bulb ous stuff" in good order and the William Scott Co. has plenty for its own traae and some to spare. Then there are the growers of Will- iamsville, East Aurora, Corfu, Pineridge and other neighboring towns, all con- tributing, so there is not likely to be a scarcity. I have not heard of any marked spe- cialty this year except that Dennis O'Con- nell has gone heavy into standard sham- rocks grown in the fossil hoofs of the great extinct Irish elk. .James Buxton has made a feature of 6-inch pans of Venus' Hy trap (Dionsea muscipula). This is not a showy plant, but it is one of those interesting vegetable creation-; that enabled the great and immortal Dar- win to write his last great work, "In- sectivorous Plants" and philosophical students will undoubtedly prefer these pans to a gaudy azalea. I am scarcely able to say much about out flowers. We are inclined to think there will be an abundance. We are .just about as others report on Beauties, lots in sight but two weeks more would have suited them better. If people want vio- lets they can have them and moderate in price. Carnations are likelv to be again the most popular flower with the major- ity and the home-grown product is in fine order. Bulbous stock is never a stiong feature at Easter, but there is lots of it. Golden Spur. Emperor and Empress narcissi are taking well this year. The Lakeview Rose Gardens, of James- town, with their acres of Easter plants, are likely to have an influence on our local trade, but there are some plant*, notably lilies, that are difficult to ship In- rail. ' Jlr. Slattery. late of Byrne & Slatterv. is now %vith W. .J. Palmer & Son, at the old store. This greatly strengthens Mr. Palmer's force. Michael Bloy, late of the Essex Green- houses, near Cleveland, is in town rest- ing on his laurels, not like Micawber. waiting for "something to turn up." but contemplating which of the many flatter- ing oflTers he will accept. The William Scott Co. has leased for a term of years the greenhouse lately va- cated by Wm. Legg, on Delaware avenue, near the entrance to Forest Lawn ceme- tery. When a sew-er is ))ut in, and a heater, and a general overhauling given, it will be quite a place. Harry Bunyard and Mr. Kasting called Sunday evening on their return from a visit to Friend Christensen in the wild.^ of Eggertsville. Harry charmed our home circle with his puns and witticisms and metropolitan brightness. I wish sincerely a most prosperous -i happy Easter for all. W. S. THE McCarthy establishment. The accompanying illustration shows a greenhouse erected for N. F. McCarthy & Co., Wakefield, Mass., in 1902. It was built of Lord & Burnham Co. 's improved iron frame construction covered with cypress capping. The rafters are fas- tened to cast iron foot pieces which ex- tend about two feet below the grade line. A galvanized iron eave plate runs the whole length of the house on either side. To this eave plate the sash bars are fastened by patent sash bar clasps. There are two continuous lines of top ventilating sashes which are three feet wide and are operated by the Lord & Burnham Co. self-oiling apparatus. The ventilators, as well as all the other wood work, are of the best quality cypress. This is in every sense a modern green- house, from which good results are ob- tained. BOSTON. The Market. Conditions are not materially changed, the market being well supplied with all kinds of flowers. A number of large parties and charity fairs have materially assisted in preventing a glut. Roses, carnations and violets are cleared out tnlerablv well, but there is far too much bulbous stock. Prospects are for an ex- tra good Easter trade. Lilies are being ofl"ered at from $12 to $15 per 100. Some warm days have helped backward stock, but many plants will not be in season. Various Items. A large delegation of growers and other invited guests visited the estab- lishment of W. W. Edgar, of Waverley. March 23, to view Mr. Edgar's annual Easter display. Everything was found in fine condition, two houses of lilies con- taining 7,000 plants being extra fine. Genistas, Rambler roses, acacias, mar- guerites, hydrangeas and other season- able stock was all good. The annual spring show of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society brought many visitors from a distance. Next year when the Rose Society meets with us we will expect many more and will show them what Bostonians can do in the way of an e-xhibition. Walsh's rose ex- hibit at our last show would have been a revelation to many rose growers. See- ing that we have now secured both the chrysanthemum and rose societies for 1905, we would be selfish if we begrudged Chicago the carnation convention next .vear, knowing that it is pretty sure to come our way in 1900. The committee of arrangements voted to dispense with music at our late spring show. An in- creased attendance over 1903 showed that flowers were more of a drawing card than music. Popular Easter plants promise to be lilies. Crimson Ramblers, azaleas, acacias, ericas. Spiraea eompacta and S. astil- boides, hydrangeas, bulbous stock in pans and yellow marguerites. Poinsettias are not usually counted upon as Easter flowers. Houghton & Clark displayed a large vase of these the past week, which were well preserved. At a charity fair held on March 25. at the Hotel Vendome, some fancy prices were realized for cut flowers. Orchids sold well. Odontoglossums in boxes of eiiiht to ten spikes sold at $40, cattleyas for $25, boxes of coelogyne for $10. Or- iliids are not vet back numbers in the Hub. Those who want a brilliant scarlet for Easter cutting should try Anemone ful- gens. It is easily grown and sells on siffht. Visitors in town from a distance in- clude H. Hurrell, Summit. N. J.; J. R.

The past week found everything in the cut flower line very quiet and there was more fine stock than the demand had any use for; it w^as a pity to see a lot of extra fiue, long Beauties going to waste in the wholesale market. The same may be said of bulbous stock, including Harrisii and callas. Prices are rather high for the amount of stock that is com- ing in, but the wholesaieis will not come down on the price, except on large lots. Of course this (taster) week prices will go up somewhat on choice stock, but not much if the cut stock comes in as it has been doing. During the past week extra select Beauties sold as low as $3 per dozeu and fine stock was oft'ered at $2 per dozeu. Brides and Maids have also he&L rather plentiful and chtap for the qual- ity. Meteor, Liberty and Perle sold slowly. The supply of carnations was heavy. Fancy, unless extra fine, sold at $3 and good common stock at $1 to $1.50 per 100. The cut at present is very heavy and there was a great accumula- Uon of surplus stock. There will be no shortage in bulb stock this week, as the market shows plenty of everything in this line. There is a good deal of speculation a» to the Easter supply for the end of this week. Those who have canvassed the vicinity say there will be plenty of Har- risii for the local demand in both cut flowers and plants. A big lot of violets went to waste last week and sales ou them were very slow at 25 and 35 cents per 100. Sweet peas too are over-plenti- ful; white are selling fairly well, hard- ly any sales for pink. Smilax is still selling well, with not enough for the demand. Common ferns are selling at 35 cents per 100, other greens as usual. Various Notes. Arnold Eingier, of W. W. Barnard &■ Co., Chicago, passed through here from Califorida going east. ' S. S. Skidelsky, the man who sells everything in the florists' line, spent sev- eral" days here last week. Charlie Ford is also making the rounds of the trade. A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 111., made friendly calls the past week among the trade. L. Coatsworth and friends, of Chica- go, spent Saturday with us, calling on the trade and visiting the World's Fair grounds. B. H. Walker was in town seUing the McCray Florist Refrigerators. Mr. Walker reports trade good in his line. Henry Beming is the latest victim of the grippe. Mrs. Berning is also sick -it their home. During their absence Julius Koenig and Otto are miming the place. President D. E. Francis, of the Ivou- isiana Purchase Exposition, claims that when the company took Forest Park it was with the understanding not to return it as they found it, but to improve it after the Fair. But the Board of Pub- lic Improvements, which met last week, says they must give a $550,000 bond to restore it as they found it, and that should settle the question. Theo. Miller,: on Delmar avenue, is showing some extra fine blooming planta for his Easter trade. Fred Weber and John Steidle returned from West Baden, Ind., last Wednesday, looking very much better in health. C. Young & Sons Co. are making a grand display of blooming plants this week, their Harrisii being exceptionally fine. The Eiessen Floral Co. reports large church decorations for this week and plenty of orders ahead for Easter. Kalisch & Sons, at Taylor and Delmar avenues, are showing a lot of Easter plants hard to beat. The boys report trade good. Fled Weber's show house is a sight to behold this week; the finest of every- thing in Easter stock at this place. F. H. Weber, on Maryland and Boyle avenues, is also in line with some well- grown Easter stock and a fine show of cut flowers. At the next meeting of the Florists ' Club, on April 14, at 2 o 'clock, every member attending will be presented with a fine souvenir. A large attendance is expected. Essays by George Windier and John Stiedle will be very interesting. Chairmen of all committees are requested to report at the hall at 1:30 to meet the vice-president and superintendent of trade display of the S. A. F., to review the report of the executive committee and receive instructions as to their duty from then on. Bowling. On Friday last the Florists ' bowling team suffered defeat at the hands of the Rosedales on the Palace alleys. The florists won the first game, making 900 pins to the Rosedales' 763, but bad breaks in the last two games lost the match for the florists. A number of oth- er matches will be rolled after Easter with strong local ten-pin clubs about the city. The two teams of the Florists' Chili rolled a match game on Monday night with the following results: Player. 1st. 2d. 3d. T'l.

On March 25 this citj- was visited ir the worst flood in its history. For thirtv hours it rained incessantly, causing all the creeks and the river to leave their banks and cover all the low-lying land. Nearly all the florists' places are on hitrh ground, however, and all escaped iniury except J. Buheit and Dow a* Broadripple. Both had their boiler cel- lars filled and were unable to fire for several days. Buheit reports $50 dam,a'o on flowers and plants that were stored away for Easter. The mercury dropn ■ to 22 degrees on Monday morning, but both kept the frost out with stoves, lamps, etc. The city water was cut off until Tuesday and some had a tough tini ■ getting wateT into the boilers. At this writing everybody is running in good shape again, and busy getting ready for a big Easter trade. A. B. I HAVE always found your paper a very good value for a dollar. — G. H. Mills, Toronto, Ont CHICAGO. The Market. This week did not start off as well as liud been hoped. Supplies of stock were larger than had been expected and sliowed a considerable increase over last week, which was something of a sur- prise, for it was thought that the grow- ers would be holding back large quanti- ties for the Easter rush. As a matter of fact the low quality of much of the stock received Monelay and Tuesday uould indicate that considerable sorting and storing was in progress. If the producers were able to work off their low grades early in the week and have the good stock for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, they wiU be fortunate, for there will be none too much first class material, judging from the number of orders on file. But the result of so much material coming on in the last few days, much of it poor, has been that, with a fair de- mand, good stock has been at a pre- mium, with the bulk of the receipts standing around and selling cheaply. There is no possibility of enough Beau- ties for the week's business, the' only tiling to prevent a considerable advance over quoted prices being the reluctance of the buyers to pay fancy figures at Eastei'. Liberty and Meteor orders, too, will go out short, but there will prob- ably be enough Brides and Maids to go around where the shipper is given some latitude as to quality. There will not be cream for all. There are likely to he all the common carnations the buyers want, with good prospects for a shortage of the 5-cent grade, for orders are very heavy. There need be no alarm about not having enough lilies but the discussion will come on the question of quality. There are a great many that are small and short, so that there is likely to be a wide range of prices and somebody is pretty sure to feel that he has got the worst of it. Bulbous stock was stUl a glut at the beginning of the week and violets were very poor property. It wUI remain for Saturday to show whether there is life enough left in them for a spurt at the finish; otherwise it will have been a mighty poor season for thi» violet growers. Stock has not been carrying well in this damp weather and the floods have tlelayed some shipments. It is to be hoped the elements will be kind for the next few days. Various Notes. Leonard Kill has been devoting his spare time to electioneering for his brother-in-law in the twenty-sixth ward. The boys in the market relate that he spent, the other evening, about four hours and $17, more or less, in the effort to convert two gentlemen he met in a quiet place out near the greenhouses; they were much interested but shook their heads sadly and regretted that they "could not vote for Mr. Eeinberg. " Af- ter the fort.v-seventh round, or was it only the forty-third, on being pressed for a reason why they could not vote for the carnation ' candidate, one of them confided: "Well, we must be going. You see, we live in Kansas City. ' ' The election is next Tuesday and every florist who lives in the ward will vote earlv Maech 31, 1904.

Haus- wirth's on Tuesday afternoon. The fall show was the principal topic for discus- sion and it was finally decided to leave the whole matter to the executive com- mittee. If the committee can find a suitable hall there will doubtless be a good show, otherwise none at all. Joe Currau has bought the Michigan avenue store of Johnson & Swan, taking possession March 28. Mr. Johnsou stati.s that an agreement has been made whereby he will buy out Jolm Mangel shortly after Easter. Mr. Alangel has not enjoyed his usual good health for several months and is thinking of spend- ing the summer in Greece. Fire attacked the block at the corner of Wabash and Adams street Tuesday and the department flooded out the New York Floral store in the basement. This is the headquarters of an aggregation of shrewd merchants who are said to do a large business in buying up surplus lots around the market, shipping the stock to their confreres in several smaller cities. E. E. Pieser says that he expects the Easter trade to foot up ahead of any previous year, with a lively scramble for good roses and carnations before the week is over. He calls attention to the fact that all orders are for a greater proportion of carnations than ever. The big wind at Morgan Park last week blew down Singler Bros.' tall chim- ney and broke quite a little glass. It also took off John Turner's windmiU, breaking some glass. Out at Evanston, the floods got into some of the boiler rooms, making much trouble. Clifford Pmner, who has been at his home in Ohio since the holidays, is in town for a few days. He has nearly re- covered his health. The express companies have declined to give the wholesalers a wagon after six 0 'clock this week and late orders will have to be hustled to the trains the best way they can. The tailor over John Mangel recently moved out and Mr. Mangel has the store for a plant annex this week. The George "Wittbold Co. now has a down-town retail stand in Kaempfer's, 88 State street. They have a fine house of lilies for this week. James Paulsen will shortly turn his place over to his grower and remove to Virginia to make his home for a time. Carl Niemann, president of the Gard- eners ' Union, will shortly leave the West Parks to go into business for himself at Norwood Park, where the family awns some real estate and where a be- ginning will be made at carnation grow- ing by building two 125-foot houses this spring. Mrs. Annie Kreitling Kochman has taken the business of Walter Kreitling & Co. and will continue it. She has been in the store right along and is well quali- fied to make the business a success. There is considerable complaint among growers that the longiflorums are short and poorly flowered. Sam Pearce says that the late, well ripened bulbs are the best but that the essential is to let the plants make a good ro' *■ growth before any attempt is made to loree them. Albert F. Amling is planning another addition to his range this spring, short- span houses set on Garlaid iron gutters. Frank Garland expects to cut 10,000 lilies this week. Wietor Bros, are getting in fine, long- stemmed sweet peas, selling readily at $1.50 per hundred. Mrs. Horton. of Bassett & Washburn 's, lost her mother last week, her illness having been prolonged. Jlrs. Horton has many friends in the trade and they all sympathize deeply with her in her grief. The E. F. Winterson Co. is doing quite a business in dormant ruse plants. Carl Thomas says the A. L. Randall Co. will get in 100,000 carnations within four days this week. C. W." McKellar is handling the Easter chickens and finds the moderate priced ones ready sale, but hardly anybody wants to pay over $4 a dozen. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. There is marked activity in the cut flower centers, with carnations advanc- ing in price and a considerable scarcity of greens, especially smilax. as features. The probability of a shortage in good lilies is generally admitted. Still it is improbable that prices will stiflTen much on this staple Easter flower. Choice ear- nations are promised in quantity, with prospects of a brisk demand. The out- look for roses is fair, but hardly as bright as for lilies and carnations. Smilax is eagerly sought, very ordinary stuff bring- ing fancy prices. The condition of the violet and daffodil supply is a little un- certain. Neither are coming in freely, but there is a growing suspicion that they may sweep down in torrents before the week is out. Easter Plants. Reports gathered from various sources agree that a very large business has been done in blooming plants during the past fortnight. It is stated that most of the wholesale growers were unable to ac- cept orders early this week, some varie- ties of stock being very difficult to ob- tain. It can be safel.y said that this Easter is a good one from the growers' standpoint in so far as the selling of the' finished stock is concerned. Of course the expense of production has been high and in many cases too large a percent- age of plants have not been ready in time. The Show. — Continued. The groups of Cineraria stellata were features in the main hall at the exhibi- tion last week. The improvement in the culture of these plants during the last few years has been very marked. The central group arranged around a half dozen columns by the Wm. Graham Co. was much admired. In azaleas there were some handsome specimens in large tubs, evenly flowered and prettily con- trasted in color. In genistas there were four fine specimens that attracted atten- tion. In spirceas, the variety Gladstone was covered with large blooms. Nearby was the pink variety. Palmetto, seen in two shades of that color. Wm. Robert- son showed some very fine Cineraria hy- brida. Two groups of well-grown geran- iums in half a dozen distinct varieties were shown, besides many other choice plants. The H. A. Dreer Co. showed a plant of their pretty Asparagus myrioeladus. In biUbs there was a large assortment of well grown hyacinths, narcissi and tulips in pans and in pots. One of the latter, Raphael, is a double variety of a very pretty shade of pink somewhat resembling Murillo. James Bell ex- hibited Clirysantheraum segetum hearing many large flowers.

Newbold, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. ; treasurer, J. N. May. Summit. N. J., and secretary, Leonard Barron, New York City. A number of special prizes were promised for next season's show. The Rose Banquet. Fully seventy-five rose growers, whole- salers, florists, seedsmen and visitors gathered at the invitation of the Florists' Club to do honor to the American Rose Society. For a full account of who were there and what things, both witty and wise, were said I must refer you to an- other column. Various Items. Leo Niessen reports an excellent de- mand for wild smilax. William P. Craig opened a florists' shop at Tenth and Chestnut streets last Monday, just for Easter. He has been doing a plant commission business in the past few weeks. Chas. F. Edgar & Co. have had grati- fving returns from their first Easter price list. A prominent bulb grower was in this city recently, trying to locate a grower whom he had been assured wanted 50.- 000 Von Sion narcissi. He left bound for New York and Boston to continue his quest. Miss Eisele, daughter of J. D. Eisele, vice-president of the H. A. Dreer Co., has happily recovered from a severe ill- ness. BeTger Brothers have an attractive horse and delivery wagon on the street. John Berger made a flying visit to New York this week. The price of hardy ferns has advanced from $2 to $2.50 per 1,000. Floral Life recently published a very prettily written account of the violet plant of Francis Bloomer Beatrice Clayton. by Miss Phil. NEW YORK. The Market. The weather turned unseasonable! to- wards the end of the week and the mar- ket has showed no improvement what- ever in values up to this writing, in fact, only accentuated the fact that the week before Easter is always one of the dull- est of the year. The finest Beauties often failed to go above 15 cents and 8 cents was high water mark for Brides and Maids. Special violets were glad to touch 35 cents a 100. Bulbous stock is still overwhelming in quantity and shipments of narcissi from the south add to th" denression. Some rumors of a let-up in shipments were heard and the old fear of pickled stock is again in evidence, li seems some growers never will learn the lesson. If the practice is continued, then it will be a plant Easter again more pronounced than ever. But if stock is shipped regularly and the demand is not "starved" during the early days of tho week, the demand for cut flowers of good quality at reasonable prices will find the market completely depleted on Saturday. The retailers will again do their share in replacing the cut flower department of the Easter trade where it belongs. Death of G. E. Fancourt. The sad news of the death of Geo. E. Fancourt, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., reached New York on Monday evening, and was a great shock to his many friends in this city. He had made every prepara- tion for his trip to Spokane, Wash., and his sudden taking away is much de- plored. A widow and four children are left to mourn his untimely death. Various Notes. The retail stores everywhere in the city were made very attractive for Palm Sunday, the plant decorations in many of the shops being elaborate. It remains for Thursday of this week to demonstrate what the plantsmen around New York have accomplished. There will be no scarcity of anything. Novelties are in evidence, in boxes, vases and unique de- signs in decorative material. No wonder it takes an extraordinary flower show to draw the New Yorkers in the fall when they can "without money or without price" see this week the greatest of flow- er shows. Elliott will have his regular auction on Good Friday, selling blooming plants for Easter. Importations of rhododendrons, roses and evergreens, are large and the interest in his semi-weekly sales is grow- ing and the attendance increasing. Cleary's horticultural hall, 62 Vesey street, is also bidding for a share of the auction patronage. Lansing, Mich., rejoices in the liberal- ity of the Lord & Burnham Co., whose donation to the horticultural department of the college there of a model green- house, is heartily appreciated. The lily shipments from Bermuda are here on time, to cheapen the legitimate stock. Poor enough stuff most of this is. but its influence is a menace to the reg- ular grower whose crop in many places is still, with the dull weather prevailing, a most uncertain quantity. A new wholesale cut flower house is making a bid for a share of Brooklyn's patronage. Beake &, Crist is the title of the firm, and headquarters are at 20 Boerum place. J. O. Hanft. of Hanft Bros., returns this week from the south after a long stay, fully recovered. Tliis firm had the big Rice wedding at Delmonico's last week, in which lilies and daisies com- prised the decoration. A large funeral order Saturday included a pall contain- ins 15,000 violets. Warendorflf had a window crowded last week with his dollar boxes of roses and tulips, a scheme that seemed to make rapid inroads on the surplus. At the next meeting of the Florists' Club. April 11. one of the representatives of the horticultural press will read a pa- per on "The Easter Business in New York," and at the May meeting William Elliott will make an address on the "Idiosyncrasies of the Auction Business," a subject many years of experience en- ables him to treat from every stand- point. He will especially elaborate the humorous side of the question. March 31, 1904.

Terry and James Kelway have for more than thirty years been en- gaged in improving the peony and each has given to the world some fine new kinds which have added much to our collections of choice flowers. I have about eighty kinds from each and for years have had a chance to compare them. At first, as I had to pay about four times as much for the foreign sorts, I thought they must be much better than the "home made" varieties. But I find that Mr. Terry's average up very well with Kelway 's. Many of them are of e-xquisite and delicate beauty. His Pallas is a marvel among peonies. a two-storied affair. Among the whites it is hard to beat the delicate Clara Barton, with its transparent, tissue-like petals, or his La Eeine. Crimson Queen is very fine and his Grover Cleveland a wonder, crimson petals packed to- gether in a solid ball, the most compact of the whole family. If you want a dfiinty, fragrant little thing take his Morning Star. Why has one grower a world wide renown while the other is knovni only locally? The diflterenee is in the use of printers ' ink. Mr. Terry 's list, in its descriptions, is only a bare state- ment of fact and reads like the demon- stration of a problem ; Kelway sets off his beauties in glowing terms. I do not think Mr. Terry ever had a photo- graph taken of any of his marvelous flowers. I often visit this grand old man, for he is now about 78 years old, and when the horticulturists begin to perpetuate memories by erecting monu- ments to our great workers, if such re- minders are necessary, I believe one of the tallest shafts should be erected to H. A. Terry, of Crescent, Iowa. C. S. H.A.RRISON. A WINNING COMBINATION. Kindly discontinue our Carlson's aster seed advertisement. Although we have had this in your paper only one week, our stock is exhausted owing to the ex- ceedingly heavy orders received since our advertisement appeared.

Shumway, Kookford, 111., re- ports a very satisfactory trade, not quite up to tlie business of two years ago, but well in advance of last year to same date. Foe those who complain of the indeli- nate nature of onion seed reports, here is something, comprehensive: "The Bullfrog raised its tail on high And madly rushed across the plain; The I.ishtniug Bug went thundering by And then we had a fearful rain." A COMMON carrier cannot limit its lia- bility for goods lost in shipment, through its negligence, by any regulation or any provision printed on the back or stamped across the face of the bill of lading, un- less the same is agreed upon with the shipper or distinctly brought to his at- tention.—Doyle V. B. & a E. Co. Cir- cuit Court Western District of Pennsyl- vania. San Francisco. — Half the asparagus crop of the state was destroyed by the recent floods in the Sacramento valley. The growers have seen their asparagus beds utterly destroyed and now face ruin. The price of asparagus will be high this year. The canneries of the state will have no crop with which to work and as a result many people will be denied employment by the closing of the industry. Tests of eight lots of seed corn re- cently were made by the Ohio Experiment Station. The corn had been carried through the winter in different ways: In a large crib six feet wide; overhead in crib spread out in a thin layer on the floor; and in a room where the tempera- ture was from 60 to 72 degrees. Of the crib corn (selected ears) only sixty ker- nels out of 100 germinated;" of similar corn kept overhead in crib eighty-one kernels germinated; of that subjected to artificial heat ninety-five out of 100 ger- minated. Reports in general indicate that the business of the month has been quite sat- isfactory. The jobbers arc not complain- ing; popular staples while they la.sted went out at very good prices, and when sold out made a fair market for less popular sorts. Onion sets are well cleaned up and no fall in price is looked for. Mail trade, owing to weather con- ditions, is below the average in most cases. Counter trade, where the principal customer is the market gardener, shows up in good shape, but at the counters where the amateur is mostly looked for the showing has been poor. A Paying Crop Can be secured by sowing our ASPARAGUS SEED now. It is remarkable seed, 80 full of life that nearly every seed germinates under ordinary conditions. We have made a number of tests and we know that this is true. ASFABAGUS FIiTTMOSnS NAITUS seed, greenhouse grown, will germinate nearly 100 per cent. New seeds. $1.00 per 100: $7.60 per 1.000.

THE ONION SET DISEASE. John W. Lloyd, professor of olericul- ture at the University of Illinois, Col- lege of Agriculture, writes as follows to a Chicago onion set grower: Eeferring to the diseased white onion sets which you sent me October 3, 1903, and concerning which you wrote me a few days later. One of the botanists here has identified the organism which is evidently responsible for the disease, and finds it to be the onion anthracnose (Vermicularia circinans. Berk.). The fungus is present on the onions when they are harvested, but it is likely to do most of its damage by later develop- ment during storage. This damage is most severe when the atmosphere of the storage house is too warm and moist. If the sets are perfectly dry when stored, and are kept at a low tempera- ture in a house that can be ventilated in dry weather and kept closed when the outside atmosphere is moist, the disease is less likely to develop badly than if the opposite conditions exist. Also crates or bins which have previously contained diseased sets, should be thoroughly cleaned and sprinkled with lime, or lime and sulphur, before they are used again. Diseased sets should not be stored with sound sets, because the disease can be transmitted by contact, or by the spores being carried by draughts of air. It has been suggested that sprinkling the bulbs with air-slaked lime at the time of storing would probably prevent the further development of the disease, though I can find no record of this treatment having been tried, and do not know as it would be practicable com- mercially. It is also probable that rotation of the crop would be a good thing, since it is likely that the organism may live over winter in the soil or on refuse of the crop.

Houses that were too coM through the winter months can now be utilized for this crop, as- less fire heat will be necessary to maintain the necessary temperature, which should not be less than 65 degrees by night and 80 to 85 by day during bright weather. More advanced plants require frequent and careful syringing and the house should be damped down several times a day to maintain a moist atmosphere, which is necessary to keep red spider and thrips in check. The keeping of cucumbers clean is one of the most important points in their cul- tivation. When this can be done half the battle is won. Another important point is careful ventilation. Although they delight in a moist atmosphere, and such an atmosphere is essential to their well-being, at the same time enough air must be admitted to keep the foliage as firm as possible. Unless air is admitted on all favorable occasions soft growth will result and the sun's rays will have a flagging influence on the plants, even if they have the protection of shade. Slight shade will be beneficial from now on in preventing flagging and scorching of the foliage but care must be taken not to overdo it. Though with bright weather and the freer circulation of air many of the fruits may set naturally now, still it is safer to keep on pollinating by hand, as it insures a better crop. To plants in bearing the frequent application of liquid manure will be of much benefit, both in extending their time of bearing and en- larging the size of the product. W. S. Ceoydon. PARSLEY. The old plants from which the crop has been gathered all winter will now be- gin to be less productive and will show signs of running to seed ; therefore a sup- ply of young plants ought to be about large enough to take their place. We con- trive to have a succession of younger plants large enough to keep up the supply when the old plants begin to weaken. We don 't plant parsley in the house after this date, as we find that the space can be more profitably utilized for other things, and the crop will grow nearly as fast in frames from now on and be less troubled with aphis, which after the weather becomes warm is quite a trouble- some pest in the greenhouse. We usually manage to keep them in cheek with the free use of tobacco stems in the house, though a smoking is sometimes neces- sary. This we apply whenever the pest appears. " W. S. Croydon. FiNDLAY, 0. — S. J. McMichael says it has been a hard winter, b\it he thinks prospects very good for spring. His specialty is vegetable plants. He bedded forty bushels of sweet potatoes for plants and expects to be ready to ship toward the end of April. La.st fall he saved his own tomato seed from selected plants, so that he knows just what he has to ofiFer his patrons this season. Just now he is very busy, making beds and getting ready to transplant tomatoes, cauliflower and cabbage. NURSERY NEWS. AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF NURSERYMEN. PreB., N. W. Hale, KnoxvlUe.

RETAIL NURSERYMEN ORGANIZE. The nurserymen of western New York met March 19 at Rochester, and after dinner, organized the National Associa- tion of Eetail Nurserymen, 'lae plan for this organization was decided upon at a meeting held March 10. It is the first national retail association of nur- servmen to be organized in the country. While it has been organized in Roches- ter, it will, of course, admit to its mem- bership retail nurserymen throughout the United States. The following firms were represented : Allen Nursery. H. J. Bowden, Brown Bros., E. J. Bowden, G, Costich & Co., Chase Bros., Charlton Nursery Co., Charles H. Chase, Ellwanger & Barry, Glen Bros., F. E. Grover & Co., Graham Nursery, Hooker.

Yates, Pin- nacle Nursery Co., all of Rochester; Clark Nurserv, Pierson Bros.' Co., Waterloo; C. W. Stuart & Co., Newark ; R. G. Chase & Co., Geneva. A constitution was adopted, and officers and an executive committee were elected. The officers are: President, Wi'liam Pit- kin, of Rochester; vice-president, O. C. Chase, of Geneva ; secretary-treasurer, John B. Killy, of Rochester. The execu- tive committee is C. H. Stuart, of New- ark; E. S. Osborne and Walter W. Wy- man, of Rochester. The objects of the association are to promote cordial business relations among its members, to advance their interests and prosperity, and to deal with any import- ant matter that may arise in connection with the nursery business. It is expected that the association will have a beneficial influence on the nurserv trade.

Lilium Auratum, Easter Lilies, Valley, Fancy Valley, Roses. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. The bulbs of Narcissus Paper White Tandiflora and X. princeps exhibited by the Jlisses Wilson, of Montgomerj-, Ala., at JXilwaukee last August for test as to- forcing qualities, have been bloomed by Carl Jurgens, of Xewport, E. I., who re- ports that the Paper Whites which flow- ered were very fine and fully equal to imported stock. There were, however, a good many "sets"' in the collection, the bulbs evidently having been grown in n clump and taken up as such and sepa- rated, ilr. Jurgens expresses the belief that had these sets been planted out, as is done in general Ijulb culture, and grown for one season, -they would have! made most excellent bulbs, like those that flowered. As to the X. princeps, results were not so satisfactory, although they were not forced till late and, in Mr. Jungens' opin- ion, the climate of Jlontgomery is too warm for the growing of bulbs of this class.

The growing of standard or tree roses is a subject that most of the florists and nurserymen have had little experience in. The selection of the wild stock that will be of long life is the most import- ant item. Practical growers have long since discarded most of the European and eastern wild varieties and confined themselves to sorts that have proven hardy enough to withstand our dry sum- mers without scalding and bark bind- ing, rooting deeply enough to furnish a plentiful flow of sap to delicate grow- ing heads. Eosa canina, a great quan- tity of which is used in Europe, is almost worthless here, as at the best it does not last over one season. The absence of moisture in the summer seems to be fatal to it and, together with several other wild briars, we have ceased to use it. Manetti stock is used for many vari- eties of hybrid perpetual roses and for some hvbrid teas. We ilsed Baltimore We Speak about Ribbons of merit. The RIGHT RIBBONS specially woven to meet the demands of Florists. These Ribbons are lustrous, firm, heavy to the touch, clean of weave. The colors blend or match perfectly the Rose, Violet, Carnation, Foliages. And the prices — less, very much less than the usual sort, for the Ribbons are sold to you direct from the mill (cutting out all dealers) and therefore J' you save all between profits."

OrnCt ANDJSALESROOMS: 806-808-810 ARCH STREET. M*>nt1on Thp RpvIpw whpn Ton wrltp Belle for a few years, but on account of its liability to suckering it is not of much value. The native Castilian is very long-lived and does not sucker badly, but it is of slow growth and makes a very small stem and does not grow in proportion to the top. I have seen stock of this variety thirty years budded that was not over three-fourths of an incli in diameter and the top three or four feet across. Thje Banksias, espe- cially the white variety, are splendid to grow Noisette varieties on, but they are not used much. La Grifferae seems to be about the best all around stock we have used up to date and I think it fills most of the requirements. It is of strong growth, makes a heavy stem, a good feeder and does not root sucker. The varieties budded in it do not grow out as soon as they do on some other stocks, but it forces them along well and they make good, strong heads in a reasonable time. When plenty of moisture is given it during the growing season it attains a very large size and makes tremendous roots. But one thing in particular should be remembered in grovring standard or tree roses, and that is that they should not be grown too fast by the application of much water, as they are then very diffi- cult to transplant without resorting to heavy pruning. Tree roses that are grown without much irrigation are much easier to handle, even if they are not so big either in stem or head, and the public will have much more satisfac- tion after they are planted. G. CAMELLIAS, A correspondent from California asks why camellias have dropped so many flower buds this season. I have noticed the same trouble, both with large speci- men plants that I have had planted many years in the ground and also with smal- ler stock kept in pots. The trouble I find with camellias is that they must be kept constanth' moist at the roots. Our camellias are commencing to make new growth now and in a few months this new wood will have attained its proper length and flower buds will form. These grow slowly and this is when our diy season commences. The camellia is a shrub that requires plenty of mois- ture to thrive well and when this is de- nied it at the season when everything here has to be watered artificially, the buds will hang on to the stems, but are blighted, and although the plant is ap- parently full of plump flower buds, it only wants our blustering wintry weath- er to cause most of them to partially open and then drop off and leave only a few that succeeded in getting moisture enough to develop. I have found that even our severest frost does not spoil the unopened buds; it blights and discolors the blooms and retards their opening, but does not injure the plant. Camellias like a moist atmosphere and are not especially fond of shady situa- tions, although in partial shade they do well. But to get the full value of the plant place it in the open ground, giv4 it good drainage and do not be afraid of giving it too much water. Some varie- ties are very heavy bearers and I have found it a good plan to disbud about half the quantity formed. In shady sit- uations the camellia does not flower as freely as in the open ground and as i pot plant, especially when the roots are cramped, it blossoms wonderfully, but 1 have seen plants that were gi'owing out- side with fifty to seventy-five buds and open flowers, drop them all when brought into a warm room. This is from the change of dry for moist atmosphere, something the camellia will not tolerate. For the same reason we do not grow it as a greenhouse pot plant, but keep it in general in a shade house where the tem- perature is low. 6. NURSERY STOCK. The demand for home-grown nursery stock in California and throughout the Pacific coast is yet in its infancy. A few years ago, when there were many less large private places than there are JOJO TheWeekly Florists' Review^ March 31, 190-1. at present, the call was only for a few varieties of ornamental trees and was easily supjilied. But in tlie last few years we have had a large influx of eastern people who came to this coast to establish homes and they have created a demand for a greater variety than the local nurserymen have been able to supply. This was the commencement of our branching out on more extensive lines and our dealers are beginning to tlevote themselves more and more each year to the importing and jiropagating of newer and more tiesirable (dasses of stock. Only a few years ago some of our lai-gest nurseries did not pretend to carry over a dozen varieties of ever- green trees and hardy palms. For side- walk trees we had little to offer except cork bark elms or native palms, and for an ornamental hedge Monterey cypress. The demand has shifted considerably, so that we now are planting some of the light, graceful pittosporunis for hedg- ing and for sidewalk purposes umbrella trees in some sections, eastern elms, white maples, European linden, scarlet and white hawthorns, pink and white horse chestnut and many other desira- ble trees. A good demand has also sprung up for specimen conifers and de- ciduous shade ornamentals for garden planting, and as this is constantly on the increase those 'dealers who can read the signs of the times will be amply re- jiaid for their trouble in good orders at remunerative prices. In roses CaJifornia has had abundant stock on hand for the past few- years to supply the coast, sav;? jjossibly for small greenhouse-grown plants on their own roots that are used for forcing. Of these wa import a good many thousands yearly from our eastern growers. Car- nations likewise we grow in vast quan- tities and probably export as many as we receive. Birches of various, kinds, oaks and hundreds of desirable and valuable orna- mental trees are being sought after by planters, and it is high time our deal- ers made preparations to supply the de- mand that is sure to come. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. We are in the eighth week of rainy weather and the end appeal's to be not yet. We are within ten days of Easter and the inquiries for decorations and stock for that occasion are not very heavy at this writing, but as Californians generally put off such small matters un- til the latest possible moment we may have a much different story to tell within another week. Flowers are not over plentiful, nor have they been for the past month, but the florists have not had any trouble to supply their wants, as the demand has been very light. There have been, however, quite a lot of fu- neral orders during this week. Violets have been the grand exception to the rule. They have been brought in by millions and we can now expect them to be scarcer and of poorer quality. It appears that there is hardly anyone growing doubles. Some years ago we had cjuantities of Swanlej' Wliite and Marie Louise, but owing to the greater popularity of the Princess of Wales the double sorts were gradually allowed to fall behind. Eoses are of fair quality and of fair quantity and sell at about the same prices they have brought fe,r STRONGLY ROOTED CARNATIONS - Now Ready. OBOWN OUT OF DOOBS AITD BOOTED WITHOUT HEAT.

Carnations can be had at from 2.5 to 50 cents per dozen, with only a few choice varieties at the long end. From Ingleside, Elmhurst, Berkeley and Burlingame quantities of Easter lil- ies will be forwardtd to town and there will be no shortage, judging by appear- ances now. They are selling wholesale at $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Pot grown plants are offered at from $6 to $9 per dozen and there will be plenty to supply all demands. Good azaleas will not be as plentiful as usual, as most of our growers report their plants past their [irime. White wistarias in bloom make something attractive and quite out of the ordinary, and are being vised ex- tensively this season. They are grown in 6 and 7-inch pots and forced into bloom in the greenhouses. Valley is plentiful but daffodils, except some small flowering late varieties, are about over. Narcissi have disappeared^ except- ing poetieus, which are in full bloom now. Various Notes. Geo. Karmanu, of whose illness I spoke last week, passed away at Elinliurst anil was buried on Sunday. Mr. Karmanu was well known to all the growers in this section and had a large area of glass.

Will Yuu kindly inform us as to the best time to take cuttings for single- stframed ehrvsanthemums? G. B. For bench culture, cuttings may be taken at any time from now on for sin- gle stems, providing one has seven or eight feet of head room from the top of the bench. Cuttings rooted in March need to be planted out in May and wliiU- these early plants give the finest flowers many florists cannot afford to plant their mums until the bedding stock is cleaned out in June. If G. B. has the single-stemmed pot plant in his mind, which is what we in the east always mean when we speak of single stems, these are rooted in late May and early June. They are potted up from the sand into 2% -inch pots and from that to (i- inch, in which pot they are flowere.l. Properly grown the 6-ineh single- stemmed plant is a handsome subject, if suitable dwarf kinds are grown and i have no doubt G. B. can find ready sale for such in his vicinity, though they seem to have gone out of fashion in the effete east Brian Boeu. KALAMAZOO. MICH. This city has been under water, in common with a good share of southern Michigan and northern Indiana, the past week. One of the heaviest losers will be G. VanBochove & Bro. "We have been able to keep up steam through pipe.* from the mill across the street," said Mr. VanBochove this morning. "Our loss is at present impossible to estimate, but will run into the thousands. For- tunately we saved all our Easter stuff, and much of the other stock in the green- houses will be saved. In others wherrj the water covered the steam pipes, wc were unable to keep the plants warm." The Calder greenhouses on East Main street, just east of the river, also suf- fered serious loss. Watehville, Me. — The past winter has been a hard one for florists in Maine. The mercury was below zero most of the time from Christmas until March, and plant trade was very light on that ac- count. H. E. Mitchell & Son say cut flower trade has averaged better than ever and until spring stock came in they were able to get better prices tlian usual. Potted bulb stock has moved pretty well.

NEW ROSES Cardinal and gnchaotress Bead testimonials from tAvo of the largest growers in Washington who have bought a hirge nuiiilifr nf pUlnt^^ after seeing them growing at my place. Washini,;tqn. D. C, February 27. 1904. Your new rose Cardinal came duly to band and we firmly believe it will have a great future, and will certainly be a money maker as it is in a class all to itself, being superior in form and habit to anything that we have as yet seen. Your new rose Enchantress we also think will be a great money maker, judging from its profuse blooming quality, as we have seen it several times in mid-winter. It cannot help being a winner. Wishing you ever success, we remain. Yours trulv, A. GUDE & BRO. American liose Co.. 009 F St.. N. W.. Washington, March 17, 1904. Dear Sir: We gave all the show possible to Enchantress and Cardinal, placing them in our window with placards telling what they were. They kept a week, retaining their brilliant color to the last. Cardinal was as full of perfume the day its petals dropped as when it was first cut. The roses are both matchless, and we believe destined to outclass all roses of their color for forcing under glass. Very sincerely yours. AMERICAN ROSE CO.. per B. D.

The Dillenback Sisters are going to build two morfe greenhouses, which, in addition to what they have, will be am- ple to grow their own flowers. John Fleisehmau has sold out to Mr. Sidles, who will take charge June 15. Charlie Winkler has purchased two and one-half acres on Seventh street, a half mile from the postoffice, and will erect five more greenhouses, each 25x200 feet. Business the last few months has been quiet, in fact more so than for sev- eral years. The winter has been very mild, only once getting dovni to 15 degrees be- low zero. This has been the mildest win- ter that we have had for five years. It has also been the cloudiest and carna- tions and roses have not done extra well. W. LOUISVILLE. KY. Edward D. Morat, for many years identified with the flower business in Louisville, died after a very brief illness at the 6r.ay Street Infirmary, March 23. Mr. Morat had been ill only a day, hav- ing suffered an attack of peritonitis Tuesday evening at his home, 3743 Grand boulevard. He was removed to the in- firmary, but gradually sank until the end. Mr. Morat was born in Germany, but was brought here by his parents at an early age, and had lived here continu- ously since. He entered the flower busi- ness when quite young, and built up a large business. He was 49 years old and leaves a widow and three children. PROMPT RETURNS. Ed.

From Massachusetts: — "Would not know how to get along without the Re- view, as it contains much valuable in- formation every issue. ' ' From Ontario: — "We are much pleased with the Eeview and would not care to do without it." From New York: — "I am much pleased with your interesting paper; it is all anyone could ^wish for." From Nebraska: — '"The Review has become indispensable to us. ' ' From Kansas: — "The recent article on propagating hardy roses is worth a year's subscription to the average nur- seryman. ' ' AS TO NOVELTIES. The season is now here when the aver- age, every-day florist must decide on V new varieties he will grow during the coming year and a word to the one who is undecided as to the novelties he will try may not be out of place. To the buyer there is a bewildering list to choose from and I may ask, is the aver- age florist justified in trying a novelty? Usually by the time the weak points of a novelty are found out the dissemina- tor is ' ' all in, ' ' and is seeking a new love and, further, the buyer must take into account the growing methods of the originators previous to the staging of the novelties. It would take a poet to describe how the new one,s ara- made ready for their lime light exhibition before the judges who are to sc-ore them. You all know the darlings are coddled, fondled, nursed and given attention which the average commercial grower would never think of giving to a stand- ard variety or bread-winner. Do the judges take into account these growing methods? These impracticable methods T I fear not; they do not seem to realize that the novelty is on dress parade and not in every-day attire. One cause for dissatisfaction or disappointment to the buyer is no doubt found in the quality of the propagating material used bv the disseminator who in his haste to get returns from what is necessarily a lim- ited stock, does not use that careful se- lection and restriction which we find the average florist using when seleetin"- material for his own private stock of a standard variety. I do not want to be rated as a backwoodsman ; I believe in advancement. I realize that from the novelties of today must come the stand- ard varieties of tomorrow, but to the rank and file of the florists' profession I would ask, has commercialism entered into the introduction of novelties to the trade?

Our tbriviug city was visited by a destructive hail storm in the evening of March 21 and the florists suffered se- verely. The losses are as follows: In AV. A. Chalf ant's range of eight houses, 11,500 feet of glass, nearly 4,000 feet were broken. This range was glazed with 16x24 double strength. The Suin- nierfield Floral Co., with 7,800 feet, had 7.200 broken; single strength glass. Chas. Summerfield, vegetable grower, with 14,500 feet, had nearly 13,000 broken: mixed double and single strength. E. Koeppen, with 8,000 feet, had 6,500 feet broken, double and single strength. Ed Quinn, with 8,000 feet, had 7,500 feet broken; single strength. All are insured in the Florists' Hail Asso- ciation. In addition to this, rain storms con- tinued and culminated in a drop to 25 degrees on the evening of March 25, with prospects for colder weather. Plants were frozen in the beds and the prospects for Easter trade are almost nothing. Trade has been the best in years and all were looking forward to a heavy spring trade. Several of the tirnis have" begun reglazing and hope soon to be in a normal condition. C. THE SUPERIOR BOILER. One day in summer a man who makes an occasional boiler for florists but who doesn't advertise the fact, was seen ■crawling out' from under a boiler at George Reinberg's, Chicago, and, on be- ing questioned, admitted that he had heard that the Superior was a great heater and he wanted "to see how the darned thing was built." While it may be a little bit apart from the ethics of the boiler making profession to go crawl- ing around inside the other fellow's de- vice, still there isn 't any secret about the way the Superior is built ; it is simplicity itself, as you can see for yourself, with- out crawling under it. There are a great many in use around Chicago and their fame is steadily widening, until last sea- son sales were made in several states. The manufacturer is the Superior Ma- ctine & BoQer Works, and they have this season booked a nice line of business for summer delivery. The George M.

Stock of all kinds has been going nicely. Prices bavo helil up well ami everything has been very satisfactory. Tlie weatlur has been fairly warm, but the gvouml has bejen so wet the groviers have not been able to do any outdoor planting yet. Sonic bright sunshine is much need- ed \ietween now and Easter, as stock is backward at many places. ■ Ctrcen goods are awfully scarce. Car- nations 'are doing very nicely and there is a; fii'st-class demand for them. Eosc s are showing evidences of having been pickled and those received from some growers are almost worthless. It is to be hoped that their Easter stock will look fresh, at least. Bulbous stock is selling well and brings better prices. Harrisii lilies are in much better de- mand. Various Notes, The warm spring days we have been having have started outdoor plants into life. Lilacs are coming along rapidly and other shrubs are also pushing forth their green leaves. Last night we had a light snow storm, but it did not do any serious damage except that George & Al- lan report the loss of about 500 Harrisii which they had stored in a cool shed to hold back. They were badly nipped. E. G. Gillett went over "to New Cat- tle, Ind., last week to have a look at Easter prospects. There will be, lu' found, a very good cut of roses at mo.st of the places there. j\lr. Heller has been on the sick list for a week, and is st^ll confined to his bed, but expects to be out soon. Wm. H. Gear has also been laid uii. but is about again now. Miss White, of Lexington, Ky., was in the city placing orders for. Easter stock. She said that business has been very good this season. C. .L Ohmer. Mamxette. Wis. — George Vatter has .500 pots of lilies, but not many of them will be in for Easter. However, all the other stock under his 18,000 feet of glass is in good shape. Mr. Vatter expects to make a trip to Europe this summer. SOLD BY THE Seed Dealers ^"ABE MARK. A CONCENTRATED LIQUID FUNGICIDE. Directions— 1 quart of solution to 25 g^allons of water.

His received the highest encomiums from the leading cut flower dealers in the country. Buy now. Buy liberally and reap the benefits. ■.<* A Adiantum Croweanum originated at Utica, N. Y., about fourteen years ago, and has been extensively grown by the original owner, Mr. Peter Crowe, who has received phenomenal prices for the cut fronds in the New York and other markets, and his created a great demand for it. The fronds are long, elegantly proportioned and of a texture that renders it the best keeper and shipper of all adiantums. It is a very free and continuous grower, requires no rest, and responds readily to fertilizers. Anyone can grow it and get good money for it.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT IT. WILLIAM SCOTT. Buffalo. N. Y.— ''I con- ;,'rytulate you upon securing the entire con- U-ul of the distribution of the Adiantum (. row ciinum. On my frequeut visits to my friend, Mr. Crowe, I have had an opportunity lo observe this beautiful fern from the time \vben there were but a few hundred plants lill last December, when I saw it oceupyiug 2o,000. sr three months a splendid crop of fronds. There is no secret in its cultivation, but generous treatment. I feel sure yon will find a widespread demand for this beautiful :iMd distinct Adiantum." SAMUEL S. PENNOCK, Philadelphia. Pa.— "I consider your Adiantum Croweanum a very valuable acquisition to this line of ferns. It is an escelleut commercial variety, good keeper, and has given the best satisfaction wherever we have sold it. Our customers much prefer paying an extra price for it than buying the commoner varieties. The great trouble we find is we cannot get euougb to meet our customers' wants." JOHN I. RAYNOR. New York City. N. Y*. — -"Ouring the two years in which I have had the sale of the fronds of Adiantum Croweanum in New York City, the demand has at all times far exceeded the quantity you have been able to supply me with, at $3.50 per 100. while ordinary Cuneatum has been, as a rule, in over-supply at half that price. It is with- out question the best fern for cut fronds ever seen iu this market." ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY, Natick. Mass. — "I am very pleased to hear that you have decided to put plants of your fern Adiantum Croweauum on the market. I have always been more or less 'interested in it, as I understand it originated from some plants of Adiantum Cuneatum that I sold you at the ^\'abau Conservatories in the early eighties. I remember the circumstauces very well, as I sold the balance of our stock to Robert Craig in 1S90. Wishing you ever suc- cess with it.*' C. F. TRUE. Honolulu. H.

As soon as we can get the room this repotting should be attended to in order to give tlie plants more root nourishment, sunshine and breathing space. Beauties, which are the first to suffer from being pot-bound and overcrowded, should re- ceive first attention. When warm weathei- commences these, if left pot-bound, soon gel into a hard and stunted condition from which it takes them a long time to recover. Overcrowding is a sure way to lose the bottom foliage, as during warm weather they require large supplies of water and syringing, which is sure to cause .softness of the leaves and young wood, a condition inviting black spot, mildew and other troubles. I have always had the best success with Beauties when the half-inch shift was practiced, the foliage, though small- er, being of a firmer texture and the wood more solid than when larger shifts were used. And though the plants may not be quite so large at planting time, tliey invariably go to work quicker, make more bushy plants and are not so sus- ceptible to troubles as are the larger and softer stock produced by using the larger shift. Varieties such as Golden Gate and Ivory, being less dense of foliage, do not require so much room as Bride and Bridesmaid, but should have the same amount of attention as regards repotting, ventilation, etc. Green fly and red spider will now re- quire careful looking after, as if ther are allowed to get a foothold among the young and tender foliage they are diffi- cult to get rid of and do a deal of dam- age in a very short time. Frequent sprinkling of the paths dur- in.g bright weather serves to keep the requisite amount of moisture in the at- mosphere, without which it is impossible to retain that fresh and well-fed appear- ance the foliage ought to have. As the season advances more air will have to be given, and as less firing will lie necessary the dangers of an attack of mildew will be multiplied and the means of subduing this pest will he lessened. This condition should make us all the more careful in the ro.gulation of air and the maintenance of a steady tem- perature, using at the same time all the other safeguards at our disposal. New Sorts. Those who intend investing in some of the new disseminations should do so as early as possible, so that the plants may have time to grow into good stocky stuff by planting time and also to get them ac- customed to the soil and water before jilanting in the bench. I have found this a much safer plan than to wait until jilanting time and then have to take the chances of late propagated stock, which may have been treated in quite a difTer- ent manner and under diflferent condi- tion- from my own. ElBES. CARNATION NOTES— WEST. Suitable Soils. If you are having -ume nice bright weather and the around is drying off, ^ou need not be idle while you are wait- ing for the weather to settle. In our section we do not care to risk planting carnations in the field until after April l.i to 20. If your sod pile is not too wet you would better have it turned over now and thoroughly mixed. Especially should it be done now if it was not done last fall, but even if it was done then it will do the soil good to be turned again. Do not touch it, however, if it is in a wet condition, but let it lie until it is dry enongli to crumble nicely when being shoveled over. To handle it in a wet condition will ruin it for planting this season, and only a thorough freezing will put it into usable condition again. Some growers mix a lot of bonemeal and other fertilizers into the soil at the spring turning. I know of no very great objections to this practice, hut I have never considered it superior to mixing it in the summer at planting time. A good sod. from a piece of good ground, with a good one-fifth of cow manure makes a good base for the plants to work on and the other manures and fertilizers can be added as they are needed. If you do mix some bone into the soil at this turning I would advise you to use a rather coarse gi'ade, as it will last much longer than the bone-flour we use in the fall on the benches. When getting your carnation patch leady for planting you should be care- ful, too, that the soil is not too wet when it is plowed. Better wait until May rather than to plow up a wet piece of ground to plant on. It will get lumpv and all the cultivating you can do will not make it fit for plants to grow on. If yon only plant a few thousand it is just as well to plow the whole patch at one time, but if you plant 25,000 or more you would better plow it as you plant it, say enough to last a couple of days at a time. This can he done best with a side hill plow. With one of these you can plow across and back as many times as you like without leaving any furrows. You will find your plants take hold much quicker in fresh plowed soil, lipsides it being much easier to plant in. If there is anything that will try the temper of your men it is to have to plant in dry. lumpy soil, and progress will be very slow. I do not like to put much manure on mi^^L Alex.

The strength will then be washed into the soil by the winter rains, and I think there will be les-. danger of stem-rot. I don't care to have the field soil too rich. A. F. J. Baur. CYCAS REVOLUTA IN BLOOM. The cyeads are a singular class of plants in" many respects, being considered by some authorities as a sort of con- necting link between the conifers and the palms, an opinion that seems to be borne out to some extent by the fact that their stems contain both a resinous sap and a farinaceous pith, being rather a strange combination to bo found in the same plant. The flowers of t'yeas r<>V(duhi arc uni- -sp.xual. the two sexes being found in •different plants and being entirely dis- tinct from each other in the manner of flowering. The specimen we illustrate is one that has been photographed in a Californian garden, and is a male jdant of considerable age, the sex being iii- iJicated by the large cone-like inflores- cence that n\av be seen growing ■ from the center of the crown of the plant. This cone is formed of scales in much tlie same manner as a large pine cone, and produces the anthers of the flowers from the under side of these scales. The female cyeas, when flowering, throws up a crown of short, woolly, al- tered leaves, on the edges of which are produced the seeds, the latter bearing some resemblance to horse i-hestnuts with- out their shells. The inflorescence of the female cyeas is one of the most singular Trith which I am acquainted, and the flowering of such a plant is always an event of some interest to those not fa- miliar with the vagaries of nature as shown in this class of plants. But while the flowering of either a ■male or female cyeas is a matter of "botanical interest, it is not viewed with AN ENGLISH GROWERS' NOTES. There arc lew English growers of the chrysanthemum who arc more widely known than W. Wells, lie has spent a long lifetime in the business and has a minute knowledge of all its departments. In recent years he has liaiulled what is known as the Wcllsl'oikett sets of nov- cllies, which have included some of the best sorts introduced to the American trade. Among last year's set may be mentioned William nuckham. It may also be noted that in the exhibit of twenty-live blooms which captvired the sweepstnkcs cup at the Xew York show last fall, thirteen of the twenty-five va- rieties were introiluced and distributed by ^[r. Wells. At this show he also staged an exhibit of blooms sent all the way from England, arriving in very good shape'. Several years ago Jlr. Wells came o\i( with a treatise entitled "Culture of tlu- t'hiysanthemiun." This ran through two editions within a very short time and he is now out with the third edition, re vi.sed. enlarged and lirought down to date. He covers the entire subject all the way from the introduction of the chrysan- themum from China in 1704 to the nov- elties exhibited at tlie PZnglish and Amer- ican exhibitions in 190.1. He gives cultural instructions and also devotes chapters to the insect pests and diseases with wliich the grower has to contend. One chapter is devoted to a review of the progress of the chrysanthemum in Amer- ica, introduced with the statement that ho believes that few English growers realize '1110 popularity of the chrysanthe- mum in the United States. He comments on the fact that the names of Mr. Duck- ham and ]\Ir. Herrington have been more frequently mentioned in recent years than those of anv other growers in this coun- try. Many differences are jiointed out be- tween the cultural methods necessary in A Male Plant of Cyeas Revoluta in Bloom. entire equanimity by the experienced cul- tivator, from the fact that he knows that such an event is likely to prevent the production of a new crown of leaves on his specimen for that season at least, and sometimes results in the plant tak- ing a rest for two years.

When this is ef- fected It is time for a further shift. Keep i-uttlugs close, either covered with a ghiss or shut up In a ease. This maintains Ibe moisture all around the cutting and pre- vents eviUKiratloii of the juices of the cutting, whieh would otherwise wither and die. Use long, clean labels, upon which place name, date, number, etc., leaving room for fur- ther remarks during the summer. Keep all your dates for future guidance. Use preventives against disease at Intervals, rather rliiin delay till appearance of malady. iieuiember that certain sorts, as Madame Car- uot, require unemiched soil for lirst growth. When receiving new plants from the nursery- men It Is best to keep them close for two or three days. In ease they have been taken from a warm house. .\lways be punctual as regards the time an- nounced for the completion of the staging of y^mr flowers at shows ready for the .judges. .\ rule in vogue at Hull is to ring a bell fifteen minutes before the judging, and an, announce- ment is made that onl.v a quarter of an hour will be allowed. .\t the stroke of the clock the swii'pers cxunmence at one end and every one Is cleared out.

One of our exchanges has published the following authoritative if somewhat technical statement as to the date of Eastei' : There were centuries of controversy over the proper time for the celebration of Easter. It was lu the second century that the dispute arose between the eastern aud western churches. The great mass of eastern Christians cele- • brated Easter on the 14th day of the first .lewish month or moon, considering it to be equivalent to the Jewish Passover. The western churches celebrated it on the Sunday after the 14th day, holding that it was the eommemora- tlou of the resurrection of Jesus, The council of Nicea decided in 325 in favor of the western usage, branding the eastern with the name of "quartodeeiman" heresy, but this decision only settled the point that IJaster was to be held, not on a certain day of the month or moon, but on a Sunday. It was not until 1582 that Easter was def- initely fixed. It was debated at tbe time of the introduction of the Gregorian calendar whether Easter should continue to be movable or a fixed Sunday after the 21st of March be adopted. Ancient usage prevailed. It is not the actual moon of the astronomers, nor even the mean moon of the astronomers, that regulates the time of Easter, but an al- together Imagluarj' moon, whose periods are so contrived that tbe calendar new moon follows the real new moon sometimes by two or three days. The effect is that the 14th of the calendar moon, which had from the time of Moses been considered "full moon" for ecclesiastical pur- poses, falls generally on the 15th or 16th of the real moon. With this explanation, then, that by "full moon" is meant the 14th da.v of tbe calendar moon, the rule is that Easter day is always the first Sunday after the paschal full m J 046 The Weekly Florists' Review. introduction of infested i)Iants. Fi-om the fact that there are but few larva; present up to tlie month of Jlay, but that they increase in number during tlie sum- mer and altogether disappear in late Oc- tober, it would seem that they follow very closely the habits of the British species, Dichelomyia rosarum. The eggs are deposited either in the unfolding leaf buds or under the sepals of tlie blossom buds, the latter position seemingly being preferred by the females where there is an opportunity for selec- tion. In case the former is chosen, the eggs are deftly inserted in the condupli- cated leaves between what would, later on, constitute the upper surfaces of the two halves of the unfolded leaf. The maggots appear to fasten the edges to- jjether with some viscous matter, thus forming a sort of pod within which they attain their larval growth. If there arc few larv;e, their effect is to cause more or less prominent swellings on what would later become the lower surface of the leaf: if there are many larvae in the leaf, it simply becomes distorted and •discolored and dies. In case of blossom buds, the effort of the female seems to be to place her eggs as far under and near the base of the sepal as possible, but there does not appear to be any regu- larity either in their exact position "or numbers. Occasionally they will be found stuck in the sutures separating the sepals. The ovipositor of the female is capable of great cvtension, and I have observed it to be curved, coiled, and twisted in her efforts to push it under the closely adhering sepal of a verv young bud. Frequently, after this has been accomplished she is unable to extri- cate it, and dies attached to the bud. In one case I found two females on a single bud, they having apparently perished in this manner. Nevertheless! the females seem to be strikingly attached to their labor of ovipositing, as, in a propagatim; house where there were thousands of young plants with but few blossom buds, if they were driven from one of these they would fly but a few inches away and soon return. They are exceedingly min- ute, and obscure while on the wing, hav- ing much the appearance of floating par tides of dust. While the larva; are at first usuallv well covered by the sepals and folded leaves, if excessively abundant they will, later swarm out and over the outer sur- face, especially of the blossom buds. In England and Europe there is also a rose-attacking insect which can only be separated anatomically from our species by the number of aiitennal joints, a character known to be somewhat vari- able. Tlie habits of the two are verv much alike, except that in Britain the larva> affect the leaf buds and not the blossom buds, both in the rose houses and in the open air. Our species attacks roses only in rose houses, largely eonfinim; its ravages to the blossom buds, but when attacking the leaf buds affects them as does the English species. In Britain, and in the open air, the wild, or dogrosc, though it grows rapidly, cannot eertainlv make as rapid growth as dees the Meteor in our rose houses, where all the ingen\i- itv of the grower is centered on produc- ing the most rapid and vigorous growth possible. It is doubtful if the American species could, under these sonditions, de- velop in any considerable numbers in the leaf buds, as the growth of the buds is so accelerated bv artifi^'ial conditions tiiat there is not time for the larvae to develop within tlicm before they become too much expanded and too lough to ad- mit of the larva; affecting them. The blossom bud, being of a slower develop- ment, affords a longer time for the larvtc to mature, and, besides, presents food of a different character from that of a leai' bud. To sum up the whole discussion, then, it is not now possible to regard our -American species as the same as that occurring in England and Europe, known as Dicliclomyia rosarum Hardy, but that it is closely allied to that species can not be doubted. We must wait for fu- ture studies to show us whether our .\niericanized form has sufficiently de- veloped to admit of its being separated as a new genus and species. DAHLIA PROPAGATION. If this subjci-t is not already talked to death it seems to me it will be shortly, but as I think I must have been the innocent cause of all this discussion, perhaps a few words are due the public from me, and at the same time I wish to express my appreciation to the publish- ers who have so kindly given space to this question. What is it all over, anyway? Simply that I have presumed, without asking permission, to issue a trade catalogue in which I illustrate the comparative sizes of dahlia tubers. A reproduction of the illustration appears herewith. The fol- lovving is the paragraph relating to the illustration : -V glance at the illustration will show how de- ceptive the words "field clump" or ."whole root" may be. Some growers propagate from eiittiugs and some from tubers. Each produces what is known commercially as "clumps." It is therefore of the greatest importance to the purchaser which kind of a clump the adver- tisemeut or quotation refers to. Fig. 2 or Fig. The figures presented represent fairly the relative sizes of commercial dahlia tubers as grown in this country. As explained in my catalogue, the sizes are comparative and not fixed weights. The variety I used for the illustration was Countess of Lonsdale, which every grower knows is only a medium-sized root, as seen in Fig.' 3. Had I used Earl of Pembroke, Gloriosa, or some other large-rooted variety, Fig. 3 would probably be marked from five to seven pounds and the other figures would be coiTespondingly larger. With one exception all the writers who have expressed themselves are practically agreed as touching the uniform quality of stock grown from tubers and stock grown from cuttings, myself among the rest. The one dissenting voice is that of my friend W. P. Peacock, who in the March 24 nimiber of the Review ex- presses his views freely on this "burning (|uestion," as he terms it. His ideas are so widely at variance with recognized authorities that I venture to say that his position upon a number of "points cannot be maintained by the evidence. In my opinion growers will be slow to accept his statement that a rooted cut- ling planted out in May will grow a lar- ger plant, of superior quality and have a larger root by fall than a tuber under the same conditions. Why should it? Neither am I convinced that propaga- tion from cuttings is more expensive. I have always believed it to be a far cheaper method. The evidence of this is seen in the fact that all dealers offer green plants at a much lower price than the dry tubers. There are good reasons why this should be so, as a green plant can be developed and placed on sale or set m the ground all within a short month, while a tuber must receive room and care for a full year. Neither am I at all convinced that there is no danger from over-propagation or late planting. That a dahlia will stand a great deal of propagation is freely admitted, but there is a limit, espe- cially to late propagation, which will give the young plant no time to mature its strength for the next season 's growth. In my judgment many of the weaknesses of the newer varieties are direeth- trace- able to over-propagation. That tuber-grown stock is necessarily badly broken in the handling, may or may not be true. If careless help is employed it will be true, but I lose onlj' a very small percentage of roots through breakage. And here let me say that all varieties with ill-formed roots or weak necks should be discarded, as they prove a continual source of annoyance to grow- ers, dealers and amateurs. With the many thousands of varieties to select from there is no need of growing any but well- formed roots and flowers. I was particularly impressed by one of Mr. Peacock 's remarks when he said we should get down to a " given variety. ' ' For comparison he has selected Sriemhilde as the subject of his illustra- tion and the major portion of his re- marks. So for the purpose of the argu- ment we will take Kriemhilde. His illus- tration shows three very compact speci- mens not susceptible to division by reason of the interwoven condition of the roots. His contention that these will not break in handling will be admitted. The combined weight of these three as shown is six and one-quarter pounds, or a little over two pounds each for the aver- age. In another article reference is made to these same three specimens in the fol- lowing language : ' ' Many other varieties grow much larger and, of course, others grow much smaller. ' ' By this statement are we to understand that these speci- mens are to be considered a fair aver- age for cutting-grown stock? This will bring us face to face with a business proposition. Many if not all wholesale dealers in dahlias have two prices, one at which the purchaser pays the expressage and one for small orders at which the dealer prepays the package to any portion of the United States. This additional fee for delivery is from 20 to 2.5 cents per dozen. Mr. Peacock has such a notice in his 190-t catalogue. Are we to understand that he will send one dozen tubers of Kriemhilde to a distant city for 2.5 cents? By mail these would of necessity be six packages of four pounds each and $2 worth of stamps would be necessary, not counting any- thing for weight of packing material. This might do with a high-priced variety, but how about those varieties priced at $1 per dozen? Does not this verv general and fairly uniform charge of 25 cents a dozen for postal charges go to prove the correctness of my contention when I place the weight of commercial dahlia tubers at from two and a half to five ounces each, which is amply large for all practical purposes and as large as dealers can handle profit- ably in a mail or express trade? Is there any need of increasing the size of the tuber? Do not the small pot roots as supplied by the English growers, weighing only one ounce, produce just as fine plants and flowers as the large roots grown for the trade in our country? I remember that when I began as an ama- Arr.iL 1004. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1047 Illustrating Comparative Sizes of Dahlia Roots. teur, twenty-three years ago, we had to send to the old country for our new varie- ties, as there was no one ou this side, so far as I Isnow, who specialized or paid much attention to dahlias, although a number of dealers were carrying limited lists of them. Comparing the present with my early experience in dahlia growing, I see a vast change and improvement in varieties, but no change in method of propagation or results. We used both cuttings and divisions then, just as we do now. With some of the statements of the ad- vocate of cuttings all of the craft will agree, viz. : That a dahlia root is a tuber and not a bulb. That the tuber nourishes the eye. That the eye shrivels when the tuber is cut otf. That a tuber broken at the neck is worthless. These things are self-evident. Yes, I had almost forgotten that information about the hatchet and cleaver for cutting the roots apart. My foreman thinks I had better get the cleaver and when not in use on the dahlias he could use it to disbud the carnations. W. W. WiLMORE. NEW YORK. The Easter Trade. Easter 1904 is but a memory, but all things considered it is a pleasant one. After the drizzling rain of Thursday and the steady downpour of Good Friday, Saturday morning dawned clear and beautiful and tloricultural Xew York was saved from disaster. But the long anx- iety ends in universal success. "All's well that ends well." and this was cer- tainly a glorious ending. Everybody has congratulations due. The growers will certainly shake hands with themselves. With hardly an exception the pickling business that has brought so much trou- ble in the past, both to the guilty pick- lers and the honest and conscientious ones w'ho did not pickle, but who sufftreJ in the general retribution, was eschewed. A few roses ashamed to lift their dis- houest heads and a few carnations glad to hide in sleep the record of their fu- tile attempt to hoodwink the careful buyer, were all that appeared to even keep in evidence this shadow of .a sys- tem, let us hope, out of fashion for all time. The Christmas experience bore abundant fruit, not only as to the pick- ling menace, but the day of abnormal [irices seems to be also at an end. Kea- sonable prices were expected by the grow- ers and the result proves the wisdom of common sense expectations. On Sunday at noon hardly a flower of any kind could be found in the wholesale stores and the wholesalers, enco\iragei] by sensible confidence and co-operation on the i^art uf their shippers, madi ;> rec- ord for themselves that will never be foi gotten. They asked only fair prices and not a man of them went home ibs- satisfied to his Easter dinner. In fact, the wholesale district was one vast smile on Sunday and the faces of the patient men who have done so much to make the cot tknrer business what it is weic an inspiration. The ]ilantsmen have especial cause for gratitude. In none of the great estab- lishments to whicli New Y'ork and sur- rounding cities look for their supply can a salable blooming plant be found. The recpurements of the retailers were suffi- cient to clean out everything worth pur- chasing and, bcMt of all, the public, which after all is the important factor in the whole consideration, nobly appreciated the feast the retailers had spread and Sunday night saw barely a salable plant of any kind in any retail store in the city. All day Sunday the selling pro- ceeded, until for lack of supply the weary workers were forced to close the doors and rest. M.Tuy of them had not slept for forty-eight hours. None of the whole- sale houses was closed on Saturday night Jt was one of the "all night sessiona'' that may be recurred to without regret Not only was it a plant Easter, but the cut flower department is again in evi- dence. The public forced it. The re- tailers saw quickly the wisdom of re- sponding. Once again the violet is queen. In the great parade on Fifth ave- nue every lady had a corsage of violets to add its share to the perfume and beauty of the day. Never was such a parade seen in New Y^ork and never was the violet so dominant. So much for fair prices and fine, fresh flowers, which arrived in double the last year's quantity and yet found a growing demand to the very end and long after every flower was gone. The top price for specials touched $1, there were not many of them; 75 cents was the average. Poorer grades sold for 50 cents, a few even less than that. Millions were disposed of, one house handling over a million. Wholesale cut flower men handling plants were well pleased with results. Few were left over. Lilies, especially, sold well. The estimated top price of 12 cents was correct. Every lily plant and every cut lily in the market was sold. Inferior grades brought 8 to 10 cents, but the best were never wavering in value and 12 cents was paid without question or protest. Beauties held well at 35 cents for the very best; occasionally a few touched 40 cents. Brides and Maids, as the day closed, advanced to 15 cents' the stock of the finest being less than expected, but 12 cents was the average. Carnations held well at $3 to $5, with novelties from $6 to $S. Except a few sleepy ones, before referred to, not a flower was left unsold. The only "dead one" was the daffodil. There were too many of them and no one felt very "yel- low" this Easter. The florists' supply firms and the "green goods" men had one of the best Easters in their history. The supply with many was totally inadequate. Next year Easter will .nrive very late and calculations are already making Roses then will be abundant "and I pre- dict violets will honestly demand a high- er price than they secured in 1904. Eas- ter never comes before March 22, not later than April 2.'!. But, of course, this is ancient history, though some mav have forgotten it. Since Easter. ^Monday's cut flower market was a striking contrast to that of Saturday. Business was at a standstill ; values dropped to normal figures; little stock of any kind reached the city. Violets especially were short, but the demand w-as unnoticeable. The reaction was uni- versal. The general rest was beneficial to all concerned. With a continuance of the sunshine and the present temperature the end of the week will see enormous shipments and lower prices. The general expectation, however, indicates a good April, with a better business than any month of the present year to date. Various Notes. The seedsmen are busy with mail or- ders, and are ready for the inevitable rush which will come with the first act- ual spring day.

Austin Shaw. ST. LOUIS. The Easter Trade. Easter trade in our city, from all ac- counts, was somewhat larger than last year, and especially so with blooming plants. The increase in sales on these should run 50 per cent at some of the larger places. Keports from those who handled mostly cut flowers say trade on Saturday and Sunday was much better fhau last year. Among the •west end florists, where the most plants are sold, it presented a very busy appearance in both cut flowers and plants. The north and south end florists also report the best Easter in years. The trade was very fortunate in hav- ing beautiful, warm weather on Satur- day, when most of the plant deliveries were made. The plant trade did not present any especially novel features. The strongest demand was for azaleas and lilies; these, with hydrangeas, Dutch hyacinths, tulips and cinerarias, sold well. Church decorations the past week were quite numerous with the plantsmen. The wholesalers were kept very busy with both shipping and local trade. All these rcjiort a splendid trade in every- thing. A great quantity of lilies were disposed of at $15 per 100 blooms. Tlie inferior grades in roses and carnations sufliered somewhat, but first-class stock was not any too plentiful. In second and third-class stock plenty ■was to be had. Prices on roses ran from $3 to $8 per 100 and carnations from $3 to $6. American Beauties were in good de- mand at from $3 to $8 per dozen. Bulbous stock of all kinds was very plentiful and the quality of the stock unusually good. On this stock the price remained as usual. Violets were poor, ■with the supply somewhat limited, fhe bulk of them being California. The best wholesaled at $1 and from that down to 40 cents per 100. A big lot of sweet peas were in the market on Sat- urday morning, of good quality, with fairly long stems; 40 to 75 cents per 100 was asked for these. What the Retailers Say. St. Louis florists certainly had the biggest Easter trade in years, if re- ports count for anything. Here is what some of the leading florists say of the business: In South St. Louis, Diemer and Oscar Heile report a fine trade. William Schray & Sons, Carl Beyer, F. Fillmore, W. H. Kruse, George Windier and Pred Bruenig were kept busy with plants and cut flowers. At these places things look pretty well cleaned up. Ellison Floral Co. had a very busy week and everything sold well. Easter trade was never better. Ostertag Bros, never had so much to do as this Easter. Henry reports that they have the new Jefferson Hotel opening this week Thurs- day, in which a big lot of cut flowers will be used. The Eggeliug Floral Co. say they could not have done any more business than they did. \oung & Sons Co. sold out pretty clean on everyt'hing in plants and cut flowers. Among the downtown florists Miss Badaracco, Fred Foster, Eiessen Floral Co., Alex Siegel, Jas. Dunford and the St. Louis Palm Co. all report a heavy trade in cut flowers. Very few of these had any plants to speak of. All were kept busy disposing of their big stock of cut flowers. I^p-town, Otto Koenig says he had a big rush on everything, is glad it's over with, and now for the advance work on our convention. Fred Meinhardt also reports the biggest Easter trade in years; everything sold well, plants es- pecially. Max Eotter has a good word for his Easter trade and is well satis- fied with his business. The west end florists are very en- thusiastic regarding their Easter trade from the following expressions: F. C. Weber's trade in plants and cut flow- ers was very much better than in for- mer years. All fancy stock sold clean. Theo. Miller was well pleased with his Easter business; plants and cut flowers sold much better than last year. 0. C. Sanders had all he could do in the plant line and there was not much of any- thing left; cut flowers, too. had a good call. AVith Kalisch & Sons everything sold big, plants better than ever be- fore, with not much of anything left. .T. F. Windt could have sold more blooming plants; everything sold clean and it was the best Easter in years. Miss Xewman had a fine trade, in fact better than expected. George Waldbart had not enough left to carry away in a chip basket; cut flower trade was be- yond expectations. F. H. Weber had a fine trade; plants sold clean, with a big call for cut stuff, Mrs. Ayers had all she could do in cut flowers and plants; ten church decorations kept all hands busy. Various Notes. During the big rain storm last week Thursday hail did some damage. George Windier, at 4059 Delore street, was hit the heaviest. Mr. Windier reports about 250 lights of glass broken. Among the other florists in South St. Louis only a few lights were broken, not enough to make a claim. The storm also did considerable damage to the Cascade Gardens at the World 's Fair grounds, which were repaired at once. Lightning also played a part in the damage to the Dastard Seed Co., on Third street. A thunderbolt passed through the roof, clear to the basement, setting fire to the woodwork. The dam- age is estimated at .$200. The landscape work around the Eng- lish building in the World 's Fair grounds is in fine shape and bulb stock is now in full bloom. Mr. ''Brown, the Englisli landscape gardener, was con- gratulated on all sides for having the first flowers to bloom on the grounds. Other landscape work on the grounds is being greatly advanced by hard work. Robert Karlstrom. forester for the liark department at Hartford.

The volume of Easter business was very large. Opinions vary as to whether it exceeded that of 'ast seajon; probably it did, as there are more greenhou.ses and more stores than a year ago. although few of the dealefs taken individually ex- ceeded their last year's business. Blodii"!- ing |,lant> were, of course, the leading feature of the Easter business. These ^old exceptionally well. Azaleas and lilies head the list. Very many of the retailers had not a salable plant of either left on Monday. Tlie department stores handled lilies in large quantities, one store had about 5.000, but pretty much all w'ere sold by Good Friday. It was said on the street that this stock was piirchased at 8 to 9 cents a flower. It was sold at 12 cents a flower, the pre- vailing price in the wholesale market. The stores, however, obtained 20 to 2."! cents a flower. If they suffered from the competition of the department stores it was not evident. Hydrangeas, genistas, .spiraeas, bougainvillcas and pot roses were all in good demand. Crimson Ram- bler was hardly as popular as in the past. Well grown bulbous flowers in pots and pans were ratlier scarce. Hanm- ers of plants were not so much in evi- dence as in the past. The week of cool, not to say cold weather, greatly favored Die retailers. The inin iTilerforcd .a lit- tle with the shopping perhaps, but there was no temptation to liarter on the cor- ner with the street vender, and the stock, once inside the stores, kept remarkably well. A good many lilies were late and a good many hydrangeas were green, but everything in condition was readily mar- keteil. The Market. t The Easter demand for cut flowers ex- ceeded expectations. A week of cool, cloudy weather kept the quantity down, while it improved the quality and prices held firmly. Violets were the principal article on the list and the quantity used was something enormous. The leading retailers kept their growers busy picking, besides buying all they could get from the commission houses. The price ad- vanced on special orders as high as $1.50 for doubles and .1»1 for singles. Practic- ally all the cut lilies in the market were sold at from $10 to $12 per 100. Car- nations were of fine quality and brought good prices. Wliite' did not seem scarce. liUt led did, curiously enough. Beauties, lirides. Maids and Liberties were all in aclive demand, and in many cases Sun- day morning shipments were necessary to ciimiilctc the orders. Most of the laiiiy IJcautics brougli* 'fii u ■lozcn. Brides and Jlaids $15 100. Sweet peas were in fair demand. Tbere was no particular lall for lily of the valley, though a good many were used in small lots. Smi- lax was verj' scarce indeed. Callas brought good prices, from 121/2 cents to 25 nuts each. At the Stores. H. H. Battles did a heavy business all abing the line. It is wonderful what ]iush and system can accomplish in a limited space. Plants are sold chiefly from sample, quality guaranteed. George Craig seemed well pleased with the business done, both in plants and (lowers. Robert Crawford & Son did a gi-eat business, especially in plants. They thought it exceeded past seasons, at any rate they could not have done more. Ilngli Ciraham did a decidedly larger lui>iness than a year ago. He noticed an increased demand for specimen azalea.s. He sold all his large stock of lilies ad- vantageously. .foseph Kift & Son cleared up an im- mense quantity of stock and wele well iilcased with the Easter results. Their liandsome store looked quite bare on Jlonday. Pennock Bros, handled an immense quantity of plants, azaleas and lilies be- ing leaders. Something over 2.000 large plants were sold. Tliey kept several clerks busy filling violet orders all day Saturday, and had to send back to their growers that night for more. City Council. Easter Monday saw the convening of the new city council, a somewhat smaller body than of yore, but none the less ob- ject's of llie affectionate remembrances of their friends. Robert Crawford & Son decorated the select chamber with hand- some flowering plants, also Beauties and lilies, while the Wm. Graham Co. per- fumed the same office in the chamber of the lower branch. Both firms, besides many others, distributed handsome plants and bouquets on the members' desks to be afterwards delivered at their homes. Notes. M.

The Easter Trade. I am safe in saying that Easter has again cumc up to all our anticipations; the general report is very satisfactory. The bi'st grade of stock was most in de- luaiiil. Much bulbous stock was left >t Hilling around, in fact tulips, daffodils, Paper White narcissi and hyacinths were not in demand at all; these flowers seeln to be growing less in favor each year. Much of this stock gave evidence of hav- ing been held back. Carnations, roses and \iolets were good sale, in fact, roses and carnations were ordered in greater proportions than ever. The scarcity of smilax and wood ferns created a big demand for asparagus. Lilies held their own, the supply was just about equal to the demand. Quite a number of large flowering plants are left on hand with every retailer; the de- mand for these large plants was not as good as in former years. Tlie cut flower business was not affected this year as much as last by the blooming plants. This may be due to the reasonable prices asked by the wholesalers. The usual in- crease in prices on cut flowers for Easter was not as lieavy as in former years. Ernest Zicger, manager of C. T. Sie- bert's retail stands at Liberty Market, transformed that place into a flower gar- den. He reports Easter business very good. The display of flowers and blooming plants made in the Allegheny Market by the florists was immense. E. C. Ludwig's big new stand was a regular flower show in itself, and business was rushing. G. &■ .7. W. Ludw ig report a very satisfactory business. Frank Falk's pretty stand was a perfect mass of flowers and he did a big business, too. F. Britenbaugh & Bro.^had the finest Cardinal, Yellow Prince and Murillo tulips I saw this season, also daffodils, and all of their own forcing. The cut of the Pittsburg Rose & Carna- tion Co., was extraordinarily heavy and of exceedingly good quality last week. B. L. Elliott had a fine cut of roses and carnations for his Easter shipments. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. reports a very satisfactory Easter trade. Mr. I>anghans says the demand for the better >'rades of roses and carnations is on the increase at holiday times. The annual Easter flower show at the Philips Conservatories is very fine this year. The show is attracting thousands of visitors from out of town places and the railroads put on a special train on Easter Sunday which they named the Floral Excursion. "A carnation with every shine" was the wording of a placard, a progressive shoe shiner displayed on Easter Sunday in Allegheny.

J 050 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Anin. lOiM. CHICAGO. The Easter Market A review of the Easter market shows that stock came in heavily (luring the first days of the week and there was plenty of everything up to Thursday night. On Fi-iday receipts were some- what lighter, demand more brisk and prices stiffened perceptibly. On Satur- day morning 'receipts were again heavy and shipping demand practically at an end and the market weakened, but local trade was heavy and everything was well cleaned out at iioon. Those houses which had considerable receipts on Saturday afternooi. found little doing and carried much of the stock over until Monday. But, taking it by and large, it was the most satisfactory Easter on record. Qualities were fine everywhere. Going into the situation more in de- tail, it seems that the lilies were not the disturbing factor they have been in many years and this portion of the business was handled to better satisfaction than usual. The receipts were very well cleaned out, only a few poor llowers be- ing left on hand. Priceo ranged from S cents to 15 cents, according to the qual- ity of the goods. If average prices may be considered, average goods brought about 12 cents. As was expected. Beauties and red roses were short of requirements, but not so seriously short as was anticipated, because it was well understood that there •would be a scarcity and buyers did not order largely in this department. Good roses sold oiit clean up to Saturday after- noon, but the market had many hundreds of choice stock to carry over Sunday. The grower who held back his stock until Saturday afternoon made a very serious mistake. There was a tremendously heavy busi- ness in carnations, but in the majority of houses all orders ^^•ere filled practical- ly complete. The exceptions were some of the very large orders. As had been anticipated there was considerable low grade stock, which was difficult to move at any price, but in general the receipts averaged of excellent quality and moved out at probably the best average prices ever realized in this market for a week's business. The carnation growers cer- tainly have no cause for complaint, even if there were moderate quantities left un- sold Saturday noon. There were unlimited quantities of bulbous stock all through the week anci, although sales were large, there was at no time a demanl which would warrant an advance over the prices which have prevailed all season. If there was any exception to this it was first-class tulips. Southern jonquils came in heavily and were sold in large quantities at very low prices. The violets were one item which did Bot do much for Easter. Last year at Easter first-class goods made a very fine average, but sales w;erB slow all the week and on Saturday afternoon the lower grades were jobbed off for practically what the buyers would give. There were hundreds of" thousands of violets on hand on Saturday and only the cream of the stock made a presentable figure. Not only are tlie wholesalers well sat- isfied with the outcome of Easter busi- ness, the general report being sales well in advance of any other year, but the re- tailers, too, are generally well pleased although there is scarcely one who did not have more or less material left on hand. The lilies in pots usually sold out but the down-town dealers seem to have had a little the best of the outside re- tailers in respect to cleaning up in the jilant department. There were large azaleas left nearly everywhere, also mure or less bulbous stock in pans, although very great qp.antities were used. Certain- ly the plant business was the heaviest ever known in Chicago. Many of the retailers remark on the lack of call for roses and nearly everyone had stock enough left to carry him through ilon- day and Tuesday of this week. A few had carnations left, but this was because they had bought a great deal more heav- ily than usual. Many of them had vio- lets to spare but this is largely attrib- uted to the fact that Sunday was very cold and unfavorable for transient sales. Business has been dull this week. The country has been heard from regularly but usually in a small way and the re- quirements have made no appreciable im- pression on the supply. Values are rul- ing low now and it looks as though there would have to be a big increase in de- mand or we will get the spring glut in very short order after the plants reco\or from the close cutting for Easter. The Reinberg Testimonial. It was a splendid tribute to Peter Eeinberg's integrity, ability and popu- larity which the voters of the twentv- sixth ward paid to the '■carnation candi- date" on Tuesday. In a ward nominally from 800 to 1,000 republican, where it is hard work to induce a democrat to make a campaign, Mr. Eeinberg, the democrat, received 4,.589 votes, within five of twice as many as his republican opponent. Mr. Eeinberg made a unique campaign and attracted wide attention by the thoroughness ofr his canvass: his strongest adversaries early conceded him a chance of overcoming the repub- lican majority, but not even his most sanguine friends anticipated so over- whelming a victory. It is whispered that the party managers are thinking that a carnation campaign with the same candidate might be a good thing to cover the whole city next spring. Various Notes. The Board of Trade firm of Wanzer & Co., in which Wni. H. Chadwick is the junior partner, filed a petition in bank- ruptcy on Wednesday, scheduling liabili- ties of $114,034 and assets of $90,632.

Nothing was done but it seems certain that a good show will be held this fall as several halls are available, including both the Coliseum and Auditorium.

There was only one thing to prevent this from being the greatest Easter, as far as business goes, in the history of the trade here. All the growers and storemen had large stocks of fine stuff and the demand promised to be very hea\y early in the week. But on Thurs- day night within a few hours almost three inches of rain fell and flooded this section of the state almost as deep as it did a week before. Street car ser- vice was stopped from Friday night un- til Saturday evening and people who usu- ally depend on the street car could not get to the florists' places of business. Especially was this true with those who patronize the Tomlinson Hall flower market. Things looked blue until even- ing, when car service was resumed and a great rush of buyers took everything in sight. The stores all report a great business, but a little inconvenience on account of the crippled car .service. Sunday morn- ing there was a great rush at the stores that cleaned them up nicely. There was a fine lot of stock both in blooming plants and cut flowers and prices did not soar as they do sometimes. Carna- tions took the lead in cut flowers and everything in sight was cleaned up. ]\Iany were shipped in, some of which were very fine, while a large part of them were only fit for the dump. While homegrown stock always gets the prefer- ence, it is this shipped stock that keeps the prices down. There are always those who think they must have about double what they can sell and are not willing to pay the price of good stock. One grower invested in 3,000 4-ceTit blooms and had to sell them out at 35 cents ppr dozen. Another department store re- ceived 8,000 blooms on Saturday and had practically no trade for them. It was impossible to wholesale them, as they were too trashy. The regular growers and storemen have no sympathy for them, but rather hope that they will learn a lesson after they "get stuck" a feAv more times. Those who were con- tented to dispose of their own stock at fair prices are all well pleased with their business, especially when they con- sider the obstacles to be overcome. A. B. Ait.il 7. 11)1)4.

One more Easter has cmnv mid gone and growers, wholesalers ami retailers are jiractically unanimous in pronouncing it the best on record. This is the more surprising when general trade conditions are considered, for business in some of our staple Kew England industries is not of the best; but one thing is certain, viz., that the Easter sales aggregated more than ever before and that growers and dealers, after the strenuous rush, are tired but contented mortals. Plants are yearly coming more and more into evidence and the volume of business done in these reached tremendous proportions this year. On Saturday al- most every other person met seemed to be cari-ying a plant of some description and florists' delivery wagons, ordinary express teams and other vehicles were loaded down with plants. Plants are yearly becoming more popular as Easter presents and those who had a good stock of varieties which took the popular fancy are well sold out. Easter lilies were in decidedly short supply. The quality generally was quite good, although some showed by their limp appearance that they had been sweated into bloom. Boston clings to Lilium longitlorum and probably not one per cent of those sold were Harrisii. Prices averaged $15 per 100 buds and blooms. A few sold liigher late on Saturday afternoon. E. N. Pierce & Co. and "W." W. Edgar supplied the largest quantity and the quality was first class. At one time Lilium candidum was grown in considerable quantity for our market, but not a flower was seen this year. One florist who wanted a sis-foot cross of it for a customer was unable to secure any. Crimson Eambler roses, next to lilies, were in best demand. Plants which had been grown altogether in pots were vastly superior to fall-potted-up specimens, the trusses on the latter being only a frac- tion the size of the former. Yellow mar- guerites, Kalmia latifolia and Acacia armata seemed to take well. Azaleas, especially red and white, sold in large epiantities. The increasing popularity of gardenias was evidenced by some of the retailers stocking up with some well- flowered plants of G. florida in S and 10-inch pots. E. McMulkin had a fine lot of ericas, including Cavendishiana, ventricosa magnifica, Wilmoreana, per- soluta alba, translucens and perspicua nana. These took well. Genistas did not cut much of a figure this year and metrosideros was little called for. Nice- ly flowered varieties of jirunus and pyrus, with Campbell violets growing in the tops of the pots, were in demand. Spiraeas did not sell veiy well, the varie- ties grandiflora and astilboides taking the best. Hydrangeas were fewer than usual; blues seemed to sell the best. Hybrid roses. English primroses, double violets, bulbous stock in variety, lUy of the valley and rhododendrons were seen in quantity. A good deal of bulbous stock was, as usual, left over. Palms, ara\u'arias and ether foliage plants were only in verj- slight demand, although a good business was done loaning them to the numerous churches. Good Friday was a soaking wet day. Saturday for- tunately was a good day for delivering plants. Sunday proved a typical March day, being cold and blustery; tempera- We are Headquarters on ROSES And stand ready %vith the stock to back up our advertisement that we have the best in the ^^est.

Extra good Princess of Wales brought $1 and Campbells 50 to 75 cents per 100. Valley sold for .$3 to $6, the top quality being superb. In narcissi the large tiurapet varieties like Horsfieldi and Emperor went well, as did Poeticus. hut piince]is and double Von Sion were in heavy oversupply at every street stall.

The greatest flower day of the year has come and gone for another time, ami it appears that this year it leaves most pleasant memories. Saturday was an ideal dav, and thousands of people were on the streets. Sunday was not so good, though, as it was cloudy and cold, still it did not affect the sale of flowers gicatly. There' can be no question but that the trade was equal to last year and I believe that in most eases it was ahead. Then the supply of most kinds of stock was about equal to the demand.

As is usual, there was salted stock in •evidence, and some of it was pretty fierce and resulted in a loss to the grower. But taken as a whole the quality of the goods handled was very good. There was fonsiderable l)ulbous stock left over, but that was due more to poor quality than lack of demand. Harrisii and oalla lilies were fine and were in big demand. There was a heavy call for violets and not nearly enough to fill all orders. Carna- tions did fine and brought high prices. First giade roses were none too plenti- ful. Long stemmed Beatifies were much in evidence and sold fairly well. They are not an Easter flower, however, and sn they did not bring such high prices. Green goods were very scarce. The Easter shipping trade was very good and some first-class sto(-k was sent out. The ship|>ing trade from this city is growing constantly and is Iwiund to he .a big factor some day. At present trade is somewhat slow, as it usually is after a holiday, but we are having some fine weather, and it ought to firing forth some fine stock. Vanotis Notes. •Tohn ?;vans is in the city.

We don't uiiss that part of the business any, for where ten or fifteen years ago there was a pretty plant bought to brighten the home or, still oftener, to give to a friend, there are today at least 100. In another column I have spoken of the plants that were greatest in demand, so I need sa)' no more, only to repeat that it seems each succeeding year that plants are the lead- ing feature. There must have been an enormous quantity .sold. Flowers were plentiful. Carnations were of the finest quality and abundant, and you could buy mighty fine ones at $1 per dozen retail. That will compare very well with ten years ago, but is not as good as last year. There were plenty of roses also. American Beauty roses could be bought wholesale at $25 per 100, and there were more than enough. Valley sold fairly well because it is never raised in price. Bulbous stock is al- ways a little slow at Easter. The flower that was decidedly the flower of the day was the sweet little violet, either double or single, but I suppose there were a thousand double to everv hundred single. This man sold 20,000 another 2.5,000, and we can swear that one small firm sold 12,000, so I .should say there must have been 150,000 violets sold on Satur- day and Sunday. W, Ehman sent in from Corfu some 500 bunches of sweet jjeas and they all sold. Those who" look for a large demand from people visiting the different ceme- teries on Easter Sunday, which is the case if the weather is mild and pleasant, were disappointed, for it was much too cold, and but few ventured out. The Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were fine aiid bright, Friday came in dark and cool. On Saturday it was 3 or 4 de- grees above the freezing point, with the wind blowing forty miles an hour. Flakes of snow went scudding along ten miles without alighting on the ground. It was the very worst kind of a day for delivering plants and necessitated the careful wrapping of every plant. Sunday was clear and cold. We are inclined to think that these unfortunate weather conditions were largely local and expect and hope to hear that in most localities the weather was all the florist could de- sire. With all our misfortunes in that way, it was a glorious Eastet for us all anil long may the dear public's fancy turn to a pretty plant or bunch of flower.5 for an Easter remembrance as they did this year.

A SIMPLE test of the vitality of any farm or garden seeds can be made as follows: Place 100 seeds, taken at ran- dom from the stock which is to be planted, on a dish of sand, cover from one-half to one inch with sand, moisten and keep in a warm place, until the sprouts appear. Care should be taken that the seeds are kept moist, but not too wet. It is advisable to make more than one test, and be guided by the average results. A test of this kind is more valuable than one in which the seeds are placed in blotting paper, for seeds may sprout on paper which do not have sufficient vitality to grow. DISCHARGED AS BANKRUPTS.

I would like to ask Brother Scott whether or not he got them in full bloom for Easter? S. F. P. Yes, they flowered and made nice pans.

Sizes to suit small or large Buyy cucumbers? I iutcBd to put it in with the seed. The soil is fin.\ wholly new land, only used once. It wa.s plowed last fall. 0 11. I havfl alvays had good siiccess in growing cucumbers by using tankage. This is manufactured at the slaugliter houses. It contains bone, lAcicCi and t)i;- entrails of animals, the.se beins kiln dried and then ground fine. This con tains a large percentage of phosphoric acid, which makes it quick acting. In- stead of putting in the seed and manure together, I would advise 0. H. to put the manure in the hills about a week before he intends sowing the seed. This will allow the heat of tlie manure to work off. If put in together the heat generated from the manure would be apt to injure the' seeds, which in a good many cases would fail to germinate. We hare no hard and fast rule rejardins- the exact quantity to be used but bv the rule of thumb: use a good handful to each hill. W. S. Croydox. LATE CROPS. I have twenty feet of a liouse. 30.\100. which I wish to plant to some vegetable early in May that will come in early, or in time to bring good prices. Could I be successful with tomatoes? I could get the plants now and grow them on in pots \intil the benches are ready. I have solid IxkIs and a very light house, the glass being two feet wi spells. I'hen little air can be oiv(-ri, a corrc- spondingiy less supply of wacer will be needed by the plants and just enou?h should be given to keep them from suf- fering from excessive dryness. Light and air plav a most important part in the prevention of this disease. If the plants are huddled together to the obstruction of both liaht and air it is hardly to h? expected that they will remain in a healthy condition. Cold draughts and siulden changes of temperature are fruit- ful causes of the development of disease, so great care should be exercised in the matter of airing. Being fortunate in having a good loca- tion, and by the observance of the above |)oints. we have experienced very little trouble with the disease this season. Whenever the disease mad? its appear- ance, which is first indicated by brown spots on the under surfaces of the lower leaAcs. we removed tb- olfected leaves at once and painted the pipes in a few jdaces with sulphur diluted in linseed oil. Thus we managed to hold it in check, though we know from former ex- perience that this is not snibcient to ar- rest a serious attack. \V. .S. CnoyDON. ORDERS COME SWIFT. Ed.

NoELANDER, Glenwood, Midi., says that ash, elm and linden, etc., in liis nur- sery have stood 43 degrees below zero this winter and show no injury. The West Michigan Nurseries, of Ben- ton Harbor, Mich., have recently added a branch at Eau Claire. Wis., where tlicy are doing a nice business. A French scientist has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that trees in full foliage in May or June may be trans- planted with little injury if the moving is done at night. The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111., has been incorporated, with J. A. Young as manager. They have secured a tract of thirty acres which will be planted to nursery stock this spring. Texas points report a frost on March 27. C. E. Stephens, proprietor of the' Iron Ch-e Nursery, at Denison, Texas, and Wm, Munson, of the Munson Nur- sery, think little damage was done to small fruits. J. A. Taylor, of Wynnewood, I. T., re- ports the nursery trade heavy this spring, the' demand almost entirely for fruit trees. He thinks peaches have been little injured by late frosts, but apricots are practically annihilated. Apples from America landed at Liver- pool during the period from August to the thii'd week of December amoiuited to 1.200.000 barrels, as compared with 750,- 000 barrels received at that port during the same period of 1902. It lia^ been announced that Wm. Smith, philanthropist and member of the W. & T. Smith Co.. has temporarily abandoned the plan of erecting the Wil- liam Smith College for Women. The plans for the buildings had all been executed and excavation begun. It is stated that the work will be resumed an- other season. A Few Hundred choice trees of ^ugar Maple and Elm. 12 to 14 feet.

I612 Ludlowll^HILAOElpHIA. DENVER. COLO. The Easter Trade. Easter week opened with very fa- vorable eonditious for a brisk trade, stock and weather being all that could be desired. "Wednesday was considered by many of the retailers as a record breaker. Thursday brought bad weath- er and a complete check was put on the transient trade in the city stores. But the balance of the week was pleas- ant and stock was handled with con- siderable dispatch and little expense. The increase in business, which drifted largely into the plant department, will run twenty-five per cent above last 3'ear. This can be accounted for principally by the superior and diversified charac- ter of the plants put on the market, which were considered by all as the best ever seen in Denver. Prices ad- vanced slightly above former years on everything (Excepting lilies, which .were not of a first-class quality, and retailed at the uniform price of $3 per dozen. Tom Chapman, Ben Boldt and the Cur- tis Park Floral Co. had fairly good lil- ies, but much of the stock throughout the city was rather weak and stunted. Azaleas were exceptionally fine and brought good prices and in most in- stances were all sold out. The best specimens came from the Colfax Ave- nue Floral Co., which were Prof. Wol- ters, Van der Cruyssen, Niobe, etc. Crim- son Eamblers were rather scarce, but what were to be obtained were good and sold readily. The best of those came from Boldt. The Colfax people had a nice lot of field-grown plants in 6 and 7-inch pots. Heretofore we havf relied upon pot-grown stuff, but those plants showed that good marketable stock can be produced from field-growu plants of previous years. The Park Floral Co. had an extensive collection of pot plants, which were well displayed in their down-town conserva- tories. Their hydrangeas were the best ever seen here, and nu^nv of them sold as high as .$15, in 10-ineh pots and tubs. Their best house plant and the most admired was the imported wis- taria, which they used in a window decoration in connection with porcelain- colored hyacinths, lilies and spiraeas. This combination, under the rays of a lavender-colored electric light, was much admired. The Scott Floral Co. handled a large lot of plants. Xoticpahl" nmontr them were some fine rhododendrons and gen- istas, the latter, contrary to prevkius exptq-ience, selling well, ' in fact sold out. Bulb stuff in pots and pans sold well, especially those ranging in price from $1 to S2 each. Maufl' liad the cream of this stock, noticeably in tulips.' such as Proserpine, Keizoi.skroon and Murillo, the latter a l>eautiful rose color and as big as an ordinary peony. While all well-grown stock sold for good prices, it is a noticeable fact that there is an inereasinsr demand for a cheaper character of plants in 4 and 5- inch pots, such as heliotrope, mignonette, r: •-* A Duplicating Sales Ticket Machine ' Especially adapted to the needs of "Wholesale and Retail FLORISTS..

SAN FRANCISCO SPRING SHOW. The spring exhibition of tlie California State Floral Society took jilaee last week in the grand nave of the ferry build- ing. The attendance, despite the miser- able weather, was good. Not one' of our San Frnncisco florists exhibited and tlie reason therefor I will e.vplain. Some weeks ago, when the Re- tail Florists' Association succeeded in getting the peddlers ofl' the streets, a great hue and cry was raised, backed up by one of the city papers, the conse- quence being that the motley crowd of Italians ply their vocation as before. The fact that the California State Floral Society as a body countenanced the. ac- tion of tJie city officials in the matter was a bitter pill for the llorists, many of whom are members of the society. Consequently when the ladies who had the present fair in charge called on the florists, who have always donated stock and time to make the show something for San Franciscans to be proud of. their appeals were in vain. Nevertheless our largest private places and big nurseries exhibited largely and made the show a success, with beauti- ful displa^-s of bulbous and hardy flow- ers. The Cox Seed Co. made a splen- did showing of greenhouse and hardy plants in pots and had the largest exhibit in the hall. It was in charge of John Vallanee. manager of the plant dppart- ment. The California Nursery Co., of Niles. also made a good showing of flowering shrubs and took several first prizes. Golden Gate Park exhibited a general collection of shrubs and hardv stock that wiis much admired. The Vaw- ter Carnation Co.. of Los Angeles, made a good showing with outdnor-grown cr- nations in a half dozen varieties. The most admired collection was the display of the Leedham Tiulb Co.. of Santa Cruz. This firm showed magnificent bunches of daffodils and narcissi. A. J. Pope', ol Burlinganie, Wni. Kitllewell. gardener, made a sood showing of bulbous stock, and E. Knoch exhibited some fancy flor- ists' baskets of his own manufacture. Otto F. Niedermuller had several plan^ of elaborate country places. The balance of the exhibits were from private parties and consisted princiijally of wild flowers and bulbous stock. The next .show will he the rciular spring exhibition of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society. JSIay 12 to 14. A large list of premiums is offered and as there are no strained relations be- tween the retailers and the other mem- bers of this order. T exp?ct to see a big turnout of the craft. ' G. COAST EXPERIMSMT S TATION. The United States Department of Ag- riculture has decided to establish a plant introduction garden and experiment sta- tion at Chico. Cal. Contracts for the necessary land have been closed and work lias been begim on what will undoubtedly be the greatest institution of its kind in America and perhaps in the world. A lie.ffinning will be made with ninety acres, hut it is' the intention of the department to extend the area as the needs of the institution require. The garden will he •devoted to experime'ntal culture of the plants introduced from various parts of the world and to a careful study of plant life. Sucli an instiluliun has Jong been con- templated by the Agricultural Depart- ment. California was sijleeted for its location on account of climatic conditions which admit of the culture of tender plants from the tropics and of northern l>roilucts as well. The ideal location for such an institution is that which admits of the successful cultivation of the widest |)ossible range of products and the com- mission entrusted with the duty of select- ing the site believe they have found it at Cbico. This commission was composed of Prof. P. H. Dorsett, goveinmcnt expert, who will have charge of the institution, and Prof. A. V. Stubenrauch. of the Uni- \'cisity of California. They spent months in making a careful study of conditions atl'ecting plant life in. various portions of the state, visiting and carefully in- .'liecting each localit.v likely to prove available. The decision in favor of Chico was reached some time ago, hut tlie site selected could not be secured and another tract had to be' chosen, which lias now been done and the purchase con- summated. Chico is situated near the eastern border of' the great Sacramento valley, seventy-five miles north of Sacramento, the state capital, and was the most north- erly point considered by the commission. Climatic conditions in California are affected but little if at all by conditioiis of latitude. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market For a wonder the rain ceased long enough to give prospects of a bright day for Ea.ster. The complaint is genei'al that there is not as much shipping to in- terior parts of the state as is usually done at this season. The great abund- ance of eallas has considerable' to do with that, as never have they I>een so plenti- ful. The price today is ,50 cents to .$1 per hundred, and millions to be had. They are relied on for church decorat- ing and during unfavorable years there is much demand for them in country towns. All the retail stores are piled high with blooms and greens of all de- scriptions. Tliere h.as bpcn practically nothing doing for the past week and stocks have accuniiihited wonderfull.y. Easter lilies are plentiful and of gonti quality. The cut stems sell April 1 at from $1..50 to $3 per dozen and pot plants .$0 to .$9 per dozen. Eoses are still scarce, except Bridesmaid. Carnations are in fair supply. Vallev is plentiful nt .$4 per hundred. White irises and fruit biccms are beins used in great r|uantities for decorating. Notes. .Tohn Cook, of Berkeley, has sold the ]iiopert.y on which his greenhouses were' situated, but still retains a portion on Addison street. He received .$40,000 and it is the intention of the new owners to erect stores and offices on the ground. A visit to E. W. :McT>ellan, at Bur- linganie, shows his range of glass con- sisting of 80.000 feet in good shape for Faster. He has six houses planted to Bridesmaid, of which he makes a spe- cialty, and the houses are a mass of bloom at this time.

The principal business of the evening was the schedule of prizes for the Xovember ex- hibition and a few small classes were added to enable the small grower to com- pete. It was moved that a letter of thanks be tendered to the donors of the follow- ing special prizes for the fall exhibition : Silver cup for best twelve blooms Dr. Enguehard chrysanthemum, by tlie F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown ; $2.5 for best ar- ranged table of foliage plants, $1.5 for' first prize and $10 for second, by Mrs. H.

Arehbold, Tarry- town; $10 for best twelve blooms clirysan- themums, four varieties, three of each, $G for first prize and $-1 for second, by President Ballantyne. There was a beautiful display of bulbous flowers at this meeting, for which President Ballantyne was awarded James Smith's prize of a pair of cuff buttons. Joseph Mooney, of Hastings-on-Hitdson, was awarded a certificate of merit for an exceptionally fine display of Lilium Har- risii, and D. MacFarlane received honnr- ahle mention for a vase of white Antii- rhinum majus, H, Nichols, of Yonkcis. and C. Wilson, of Dobbs Ferry, were the judges. Some very lively discussions on the growing of bulbs followed and were very interesting to the members. At the April meeting President Bal- lantyne offers a fountain pen as a prize for the best two plants of calceolaria. It was decided that after the April meeting the monthly prizes for the entire season shall be awarded for the best display of flowers cut from hardy slu'ubs.

Evciyoiie seems to be well satisfied with the Easter business. With senrcoly any e.xception the plant business of To- ronto far exceeded the cntllower busi- ness, and it seems plants are inereasing in demand for Easier. Those who in- creased on their last year's business did so in plants, while some admitted that their cutllower business was not as large as last year. What promised to be an over-supply of Easter lilies a week ago, materialized in the form of a shortage on the last day. the principal reason be- ing that many of the out-of-town growers who had 200 or 300 plants for their own trade did not get them in. consequently the whole demand fell on the few that had. JIany of the retail men who had been led to believe that there was going to be an overplus of lilies and that they could be purchased cheap the last few days, were sadly disappointed, and the fact was that many of them could not buy lilies Friday or Saturday at any price. All kinds of bulbous stock was plentiful; in fact more than enough to go around. Carnations seemed to be quite equal to the demand and some of the poorer stock was left looking for a buyer. Good roses were scarce and every- thing was^ pretty well cleaned up. In plants the principal thing noticed as be- ing unsold was rhododendrons. I think it is quite! safe to say that all Toronto florists increased on last year's business, which is quite encouraging. D. J. Utica, N. Y. — E. T. McQuivey had a down-town store for Easter w^eek and did a big business. Benton Hajibor, Mich.- — A. E. Crooks had a fine stock for Easter, particularly lilies, and reports good business.

NEW ROSES Cardinal and gnchantress Read testimonials from two of tht.- largest growers in Washington ^vho have bought a largf numtur uf iilants after seeing them growing at my place. Washingtox. D. C. February 27. 1904. Your now rose Cardinal came duly to hand and we firmly believe it will have a great future, and will certainly be a money maker as it is in a class all to itself, being superior in form and habit to anything that we have as yet seen. Your new rose Enchantress we also think will be a great money maker, judging from its profuse blooming quality, as we have seen it several times in mid-winter. It cannot help being a winner. Wishing you over success, we remain. Yours truly, A. GUDE & BRO. American Rose Co., 909 F St.. N. W.. Washington, March 17, 1904. Deak Sir: We gave all the show possible to Enchantress and Cardinal, placing them in our window with placards telling what they were. Tliey kei>t a week, retaining their brilhant color to the last. Cardinal was as full of perfume the day its petals dropped as when it was first cut. The roses are both matchless, and we believe destined to outclass all roses of their color for forcing under glass. Very sincerely yours, AMERICAN ROSE CO.. per B. D.

Easter trade was up to the best •ex- pectations of the growers, sufficient quantity of nearly evei-ything being available. Beauties and other roses were , plentiful and of a high grade. Carnations were abundant and of .a fair quality. Wholcsala prices ruled much the same as Chicago quotations. Retail prices were for ordinary stock about the same as usual at Easter times. Special grades commanded good prices. Lilies, which were plentiful, were of various qualities, some first-class, while a portion were poor in quality. The best retailed at 20 cents ix'r bloom and bud, the poorer quality being hard to sell. The supply of green such as smi- lax, asparagus, etc., was sufficient to cover all demands. Pot plants, such as azaleas spiraeas, rhododendrons, etc., commanded a ready sale, especially the smaller plants. There was a good supply of bulbous stock, which was cleaned up early. The Dunkley Floral Co. had a fine stock of lilies. Their carnations, which were in full crop, gave them an abun- dance to supply their numerous cus- tomers. Sam Batson also had a fine cut of carnations and. as he confines himself to this one thing, he invariably does them well. The Central Michigan Nursery Co. had a good display of rhododendrons, lilacs, azaleas and other flowering shrubs. G. Van Bochove & Bro., although be- ing handicapped by, being flooded, made a magnificent showing, their Beauties and other roses being superb. They also had an abundanc? of high grade carna- tions, lilies, callas. and other supplies. which were well cleaned up. Notwith- standing their misfortune they reckon this as being one of their best Easters. The weather was mild, which made delivery a pleasure. Ribes. Clean, Healthy, Strong CARNATIONS.

PIPING. ily plan for piping a grecnliouse is the upliill sy.steiu foi' hot water, but there is a party here who argues that this is wrong and wants me to pipe it with all the pipes running down hill. Which is right ■; E. P.. T. Both the up hill and down hill systems are in use for hot water heating. The up hill system, i. e., an arrangement which makes the highest point in the riser at the most distant point in the .system, is most commonly employed. It is a slightly more efficient system than the other, as it places a heavier column of water upon the boiler and at the same time causes the water to become some- what hotter, especially at the far end of the run than in the down hill system. L. C. C. MIGNONETTE. A. Hemsley, writing in the Gardeners' Chronicle, says that mignonette when well grown is one of the continuously salable market plants. Machet is now the general favorite for pot culture, and some growers also use tliis for providing flowers for cutting ; but he has found Mhnorin's Grandiflora more satisfactory for planting out, the spikes being close and compact and very sweet-scented. It is not always that the true varieties can be obtained. Jlost growers select and save their own seed, but when buying it will pay better to get seed from the most reliable source, even if the price is much higher. Bruxnee, Tex. — T. F.

Judges will be chosen from tlie most eminent specialists for the respective displays. All exhibits must be correctly and legibly labeled. Exhibits must be pre- paid to the exposition grounds. Tlie superintendent will be empowered to re- move' any exhibit that is no longer at- tractive. A business card not to exeee and 1901. Class 9.

En- tries must be in place not later than noon of the opening day. Any exiiibit in one class will not be considered as competing for award in other classes. EVERLASTING FLOWERS. In judging on everlasting flowers (dried) would grasses properly be classed as everlastings? If not would they disqualify the bouquet containing them from competition? Sigma. The term "everlasting" is generally as- sociated with such flowers as helichry- sum, statice, gnaphalium, etc. The.se flowers need no special treatment to ena- ble them to keep for years. They, with a few other so-called everlastings, are bleached and dyed in various colors, but that does not make them any more ever- lasting. The pampas grass plumes, or any of our nature grasses that will keep naturally without any artificial prepara- tion, are as much everlasting flowers as any of them and most decidedly can be used in a bouquet for competition where a premiuiu is ofi'ered for everlastings, A bouquet of everlasting flowers without grasses, if restricted to our native ever- lastings, would be very scant. What I mean by artificial preparation would be such as fern fronds preserved, because they are not naturally lasting unless pre- served between paper or by cold storage, etc.. and that would not do. But any flower that keeps naturally in good con- dition when dry is classed as an ever- lasting flower. W. S. Uebana, 0. — The business of C. A.

The weather was cold, raw and mis- erable with two inches of snow Satur- day morning, but cleared olV about 111 o'clock and with bright sunshine made ;i fine day for the florists. Carnations were in great demand and were remarkably scarce. When Satur day morning came no flowers were ob- tainable to fill shipping orders. Eo*es were also scarce. While there was plenty of bulbous stock, a ^rcat deal w;is spoiled by being encased in h-c and tailing t'^o long to get out. Many batches of hydran- geas, spirtea. lilacs and Ramblers missed Easter. Lilies landed just about ligbt and were of fine quality and sold well. Violets were plentiful and [opuhir. In plants the lily, of course, led, with aza- leas and rose bushes next. Spirieas, deutzias and Ramblers were everywhcrc in evidence; enough to supply all de- mands. Had it not been for floods and a series of calamities that befell the city. business would have been better, but as it wa^ it was equal to that of last year and very satisfactory. G. F. C. POMONA, N. C. Kaster trade this year v.as the best we have ever liad. i'veryihing sold out clean. Good demand in .ill lines, but most noticeable for violets and c.irna- tions, also vallej-. More calls for flow- ering plants in pots than we ever had. Easter lilies were the only thing not so much wanted. There is a new custom in this part of the country, very much to be commetided. the placing of flowers and funeral designs on the graves of relative- and friends on Easter Sunday. Through this custom we cleaned up all our shorl stemmed flowers and other things not suitable for other purposes. The weather Avas ideal for the season, and no doubt i I helped out a lot to make the sales great- er than we ever had before. We have been visited by a few frosts here, but not enough to injure the fruit, which is now in full hlo":ui. Yore City, Pa, — C. E. Smith reports this the best Easter on record, with de- mand considerably in excess of last year, but plenty good stock on hand, Casper Henkel also reports a good business. He inaugurated the Easter season with a re- ception on Tuesday, which attracted s large numljcr of visitors. SOLD BY THE Seed Dealers A CONCENTRATED LIQUID FUNGICIDE.

The popularity of this Violet is astonishing. I have sold in the city of Boston this winter 1,300,000 blooms without having to make any sacrifice. You can do the same if you have good stock. You cannot afford to have poor stock. I have simply the best stock in the country.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 1097 MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. GuaranteeingJHardy Stock. ^fany florists have to dabble a little in herbaceous plants, sknibs and ornamental trees, and it is not a bad business, either, for there is a liberal margin between the price at wjiieh you can buy them from a reputable nursei-ymau and what you are justified in charging your customer. I believe it is a good plan, in the case of herbaceous plants and deciduous shrubs, to sell them with a guarantee that thov will live providing you plant them. You will get a better price, your customer will know that you will bo anxious to do your best and you need not lose one per cent. With the nursery sizes of deciduous trees of the ordinary kinds, such as elms, jjop- lars, lindens, chestnuts, maples, etc., you can do the same. But there arc a few fine trees you cannot guarantee to live and grow, nota- bly the salisburia (maidenhair tree) and the tulip tree. Not that there is any difficulty in getting these trees to grow, but there is a difficulty in getting them in the right condition to transplant. If a nurseryman transplanted a young sali';- buria when it was three or four feet high, root pi-uned it and you bought it the following year, yes, or even in two or three years, when it was eight or nine feet high, you could plant it on your pa- tron 's lawn with all the confidence that you shift a geranium from a 3-inch to a 4-inch pot. But if the nurseryman planted his nursery row of salisburias when they were six inches high and never moved them till they were eight feet high, then it would need great care in digging and a like amount of' care in transplanting and nursing to keep it alive in its new posi- tion, simply because in digging it you could get but few, if any, working roots. The same can be said about the so- called evergreens. You can 't afford to guarantee their living; you can only do your best, just for the same reason, that too many nurserymen leave their Norway spruces or Austrian pines growing too many years without a move. Things are, however, improving in this line. Trans- planting is labor, the greatest expense item of the nurseryman, yet many are transplanting, and they have to charso for their trees and evergreens more than the careless firm. So when buying those things which your customer wants for a permanent adornment to his home, the first cost should not be considered. Don't put yourself in the place of the tree peddler who never desires to see a customer the second time on this earth. Herbaceous Plants. As soon as the ground csm be dug is the time to plant or divide and traiis- plant all of them. As their name implies they are hibernating during winter and before the warm days of spring start them into growth the less will they feel the loss of roots when moving. As all or nearly all the herbaceous plants are per- ennials and necessarily remain in one spot for several, perhaps many, years, it fol- lows that whether for your own cultiva- tion or for your custmuer's hardy gar den the ground should be dug deep and well enriched. I must admit that there are few of the well-known herbaceous plants that are profitable for our cut flower trade. But there are a few and of these the peony stands, of course, first. Short as its sea- son is, it is gorgeous for a few weeks. The wonderful varieties of Delphinium forniosum are fine, even if it is only to decorate your store windows in midsum- mer. Pyrethrum roseuni is a great fa- vorite with cut flower buyers and, both in form and variety of color, there are now some wonderful varieties. The snuiller-flowered. single lielianthuses are useful, and so is the little, low-growjn"; white Achillea The Pearl. Coreopsis lanceolata is a florists' flower and so is the fall-flowering Anemone japonica and the variety Wliirlwind. Fine plant as the hardy herbaceous phlox is for a bor- der, we never found any use for it when cut; it drops too quickl.y. I think it would pay us all to have a good plantinar of Tritoma Pfitzeri. Remember this is a great improvement over the old T. uvaria. The former flowers continuously till frost cuts it off. The above few are onl.y a fraction of the many plants of this class that you year 's growth when transplanting. If you don 't the sap, which is not over- plentiful after transplanting, will seek the ends of the growths, eyes lower down will not break and you will always have a scrawny, naJted bush. Don 't think you lose anything by pruning hard when planting; before fall you will have a bigger and an infinitely better shaped j)lant than if you had not pnined it. ( )iie of the gi'eat mistakes you see con- stantly made by people planting a privet hedge, is that they will plant good young stufl', perhaps thirty inches high and then cut them back to fifteen or eighteen inches. Cut them back to six inches and you will have laid the foundation for a hedge worthy of the name. Hybrid perpetual roses can be classed as flowering' shrubs for the purpose I am writing about and many thousands of these will be planted tliis spring, only to bo disappointing. Like the privet hedge, they should be cut back to .within a few inches of the ground. Then you will get a strong, vigorous growth and even some flowers this siunmer. If pruned back next spring, allowing three or four eyes on the previous summer's growth, you will get fine roses and lots of them. Too many planters just dig a hole for the roots of their shrubs or roses and fill in with the dry soil, trusting to a i^ain ' ' soon ' ' to settle the soil around the roots and start them into growth. If you want success, that is not the way to get it. I have often said there is only one way to plant an oak, a rose or a gera- nium, and I have seen no reason to alter my opinion, particularly with a tree or shrub. Remember it takes a copious rain to go down four or five inches, much less Easter Window at J. H. Small & Sons, New York. may be asked to supply your custodier. Those people whose refined tastes will ad- mire the many interesting herbaceous plants win not expect a show of bloom at all times, but an interesting succes- sion throughout the season. Hardy Flowering Shrubs. These, liko the herbaceous plants, should be planted just as soon as the ground is dry and workable. There is a good deal to say about pruning shrubs. a little of which I will say later, but never mind what species they are, or how- ever well rooted they may be. don't fail to shorten back at least a third of last a foot, and perhaps you will not for a while get a shower. Dig the hole for the roots plenty big enough, partieularlv broad enough. Put in enough soil to cover the roots and steady the rose, or shrub, or tree in position, 'then soak it with water and, when that has disap- peared, fill up the excavation with the soil you have dug out. That watering is worth forty on the surface. I remember last spring receiving 500 H. P. roses from an eastern firm. They were good plants but dug up in Holland in the fall of 1902, wintered in a root house and part of March and April laid 1098 The Weekly Florists^ Review. April 14, 1004. in by the heels, till near the end of April we found time to plant them, Thev were planted properly and cut back hard and not five out of the lot but what grew, and grew strongly. I merely men- tion this to say that had they been planted as too often they arc, not fivp per cent would have lived. Pruning Hardy Shrubs. It may seem a little late to give ad- vice regarding pruning slirubs, but it is not. Any time before they start into growth will do and many shrubs should not be pruned till they have flowered. It's a common ocenrrence to have a dear ROSES. The Rose Midge. The very interesting article by F. M. Webster which appeared in last week's issue of the Review, giving a descrin- tion of the latest rose pest, must certainly be t)f the utmost interest to rose growers in all sections of the country as, if it is like other pests, it is certain to spread, and progressive growers would do well to secure the bulletin describing its habits, etc., so far as at present known, as early as possible. As yet I am thankful that I have had no personal experience with Stumpp, New York, had Lilies and Ramblers in the Easter Window. woman tell us that "a man came around last spring and pruned her shrubs and very few flowered." How could a lilac or viburnum flower if all the shoots that held the flower buds were cut off? You want, broadly, to distinguish those shrubs that form their flower buds the previous summer, and have only to ex- pand their petals the next spring, from those which make a growth of leaf and wood and terminate with a flower. To the former class belong all our hardy fruit trees. Before a leaf is visible are they not a bank or cloud of blossom? Among the familiar flowering shrubs of this class is the lilac, viburnum, pynis. tamarix. prunus, forsvthia and others. Now, if you prune these hard in the spring, or before flowering, it is evident you won't get any flowers, but just as soon as they are out of flower they should be pruned. To the latter class, or those that need pruning before flowering, be- long Hydraneea paniculata, altlia>a, the hybrid perpetual roses, etc. A little ob- servation will soon teach you which is which. You frequently see some trusting pa- tron of a tree peddler recei^nng a few evergreens, or Austrian pine, or Norway spruce, or retinospora along with their pear tree and raspberry bushes in early spring, or as soon as the nurseryman can dig. This is all vn-ong. Evergreens should not be moved till the middle of May, but this is a country of such wide latitudes that an arbitrary date is a poor guide. Just when they start to make their spring growth is the time to trans- i>lant an evergreen, and not before. ■WiLLi.*.M Scott. it, but I have seen the result of its dep- redations. A particular friend of mine, an exten- sive grower whose Meteors have long been noted for their excellence, had just pre- vious to my visit to his place last fall thrown out his entire crop of this va- riety owing to this pest. The investiga- tion at that time not being complete, I was unable to gather very many facts concerning it and, the natural desire to keep such reports from spreading made reticence necessary. However, now that the report is free to growers for the asking, they ought to take full advantage of it, so that they may bo equipped with the best knowledge available. So long as the means of destroying this post remains unknown it will con- tinue to be the most serious menace to rose growing that we have yet experi- enced in this country. I have little doubt that if it continues to spread some one of our brainy growers, aided by the sci- entists, will eventually hit upon a remedy. Every successful fight and tlie means em- ployed should bo duly reported for the benefit of the craft. Having had some experience with the British species which attacks the leaf buds, I herewith give the remedies em- ployed which seemed the most success- ful": Syringing with Gishurst 's Compound, using one-fourth pound to each gallon of water, certainly had the effect of di- minishing the numbers. Syringing with kerosene emulsion had about the same effect. I tried tobacco in nearly all of its forms without effect and finally had to resort to hand picking. Whether this was the most effective remedy I am not sure, but they did not reanpear the fol- lowing season. I may state, however, that a near neighbor who also had an at- tack and used none of these remedies with the exception of tobacco smoke was also relieved of their presence the same season. The bulletin will be of great use in enabling us to identify this pest if it does pay us a visit, which I hope it may not. Kibes. SOIL FOR ROSES. In their work on soils Messrs. A. F. Woods and R. E. B. ilcKenney, of the Bureau of Plant Industry. U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, have found that a great variety of soils can be successfully used for forcing roses, but a moderately heavy loam from rotted turf sods is gen- The Easter Window at Thorley's, New York. April 14. 1004. The Weekly Florists' Review, 1099 Scallen had One of the Prettiest Windows in New York. erally recommended. The lighter types of soil are most favorable for such varie- ties as La France, Perle des Jardins, Duchess of Albany and Xiphetos; while a good stift' loamy soil is required for Bride, Mermet, Madame Hoste, Gontier and Souvenir de Wootton. If the right type of soil cannot be found, light and heavy soils can be mixed to secure a soil of the desired texture. Assuming, how- ever, that the proper sod loam can be obtained, cut the sods in the autumn, and compost with cow or horse manure, using one part of manure to three parts of soil. Turn and mix the heap two or three' times during the winter, breaking up all lumps and getting into good, even condition. At the last turning, which should be made several weeks before the compost is to be used, add ten to fifteen pounds of fine ground bone, free from common salt, to each cubic yard of com- post. This should be thoroughly mixed. Fine ground steamed bone is best for greenhouse use. as it decays more quick- ly than raw bone, and its phosphoric acid thus becomes available earlier. If raw, coarse bone is used, only a small part of the phosphoric acid becomes available during the first season, but the' nitrogen content of the bone manure is a little higher. It is also safe and desirable in the case of roses to add to the bone manure some' form of potash, especially in the lighter classes of soil. We see from analyses that potash bears a very important re- lation to the formation and to the stor- ing up of the other chemical constituents in the plant. About one pound of sulphate of potash or six quarts of pure wood ashes to the cubic yard, applied with the gi-ound bone, will be sufficient for the compost, which must not be too rich to start with, or the roots of the young plants will be injured. After the roses get a good start, and the soil is filled with fibrous roots, additional food will be required. The compost prepared as stated is adapted for plants from 3-inch or 4-inch pots. The potting soil used for the plants up to 'the time they are ready for the beds should be very thoroughly rotted sod soil, as described above, mixed with one-sixth to one-eighth thoroughly rotted cow manure or horse manure, but with no bone or so-called chemical fertilizers. It is considered best, if possible, to sterilize the potting soil with steam from a high-pressure boiler. This will destroy the plant and animal parasites likely to injure the young plants, so that they will usually be able to take care of themselves when set from the pots to the beds. Some of the most successful growers also sterilize their compost for the beds. If this is properly done it destroys all nematodes (eel- worms), grubs, and all plant and animal parasites likely to at- tack the roots, as well as all weed seeds. In large establishments, at least, it will certainly pay to sterilize all soil used, especially where nematodes or other root parasites occur. WOOD ASHES. In potting rooted coleus and other soft cuttings I used dirt in which unleaehed wood ashes were mixed. Could this be the cause of so manv of them djdng? P. J. U. Unless the wood ashes were used in too large a quantity I cannot account for your losing any rooted cuttings of s'uch a free growing, free rooting plant as coleus, except from one cause, viz., want of heat. Don't use wood ashes with any such plant; a good loam with a fourth of well-rotted manure is all you want. If you want them to jump extra fast, then a quart of bone flour to a bushel of soil ■will do it, but these soft-wooded jdants are better in every way, and do better when planted out, when not over- foreed with any stimulant. I want to tell F. J. U. not to call soil, or earth, if you please, ' ' dirt. ' ' Flor- ists don't deal in dirt and no such thing should be on his place. "Dirt" is mat- ter out of place. It is sometimes seen in people's ears, sometimes under a greenhouse bench, or in the back yard. Some broken glass, some broken crocks, a few dead plants and a good sprinkling of soil all mixed together, that is dirt. The rich, brown earth that we use for potting our plants and from which all our sustenance springs, is good, sweet earth and it's awful to hear it degraded by the name of "dirt." W. S. CALLA DISEASE. In your issue of ;\larch 31, page 1016, under caption "Preservation of Hen Manirre, ' ' I saw that hen manure contains a very large percentage of nitrogen. Could tliis be a cause to aggravate the calla disease? In the latter part of the Tsdnter I watered them with a very weak liquid of hen manure. The callas died fast in consequence. F. J. U. If P. J. U. used the liqiud manure very weak, as he says, then I don 't be- lieve it would aggravate the disease. This chicken manure is a very strong ar- ticle, but using it as a liquid is the safest way. Wliile you may use a bushel of cow manure in fifty gallons of water without harming anything, a 6-ineh pot of the hen manuj'e in fifty gallons of water would be strong enough. I am glad to say that I have not yet seen the caUa disease, and was inclined to think that it was not a specifie disease, simply mis- management, but, alas, I learn from good authorities that it is a disease, and a bad one where it has appeared. Just let me say, why do you want to use this strong stinyulant on such a free growing plant as the calla? If quantity of flowers of a useful size are wanted, liquid manure will not help unless the A Corner in the Ansonia, One of New York's Leading Stores. uoo The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 14, 1904. plants are starved at the roots. If planted on a bench in five or six inches of soil, which is deep enough, a mulchiug with an inch of rotten manure in March is all that is needed. It is heat and light that makes callas bloom, not manure. W. S. A TESTIMONIAL. Trade journals as "well as newspapers very laudably axe glad to receive words of encouragement from their subscribers and are properly pleased to print them. A few words of praise costs lit- tle, but here is one that means business and is out of the common run: **I keep all the back numbers of the Review and in the winter while looking after the fires at nisht I take out all pages with nothing but advertisements ou them and then bind the reading matter together and put covers of good heavy wrapping paper on them. I would not take $5 for any one of them.'' Either the man who wrote those words is a most invaluable employee or an earnest, studious employer. We find our night fireman putting in his spare min- utes at a game of pedro or seven-up with some neighbors. If we found him read- ing the pages of the Review or binding the read copies in his homely but sub- stantial way for future reference, we shoiUd assuredly think seriously that he was deserving of promotion. W. S. CONVENTION IMPRESSIONS The foUowiiifr is a pai>ei- by A. F. J. Baiir read before the State Society of IiHiiuiui Florists at its meetiuK at Indianapolis April 5: Yon have had snch full acconuts of the car- nation convention through the trade papers that I dare say most of you know almost as well as I who were there and what varieties made the best show at the exhibition, etc. So I will try as far as possible to steer cleiir of what you have already read in the papers and give yon a few impressioDs that have come to me outside of the exhibition hall. First of all. I want to say that the Detroit boys handled the convention in groat shape. They did the right thing in every respect and nowhere did the t-arnation society feel more at home than it did at Detroit. The iimingements were romnlet*' and the way every detail was carried out showed a thorough organization of the force that had the wTk to do. They seem to be old hands at handling conventions. They have a beautiful hall, which was just right to age. One of the good features was the opening of the banquet at 7:30 instead of 9. as we did ere. It gave ample time for every speaker ti.> have liis say without being limited as to time, and having to cut out some of the best parts. The speeches made at this banquet "were very fine indeed, so interesting, in fact, that in spite of the fact that it lasted at least sis hours, nobody seemed tired of listening. Most of the speakers seemed at their best and. besides the msual amount of jokes and yarns, there was some very sensible and interesting speaking. A Dr. Smith, who is an honorary member of the Detroit Florists' Club, made a speech that appealed to every member present. He spoke of how in many he has found that a pretty plant or a bunch of flowers would do more good than, his medicine. He said that often in his most ditficult cases, he uses Howers as medicine, to cheer up the patient and make them want to pet well. Then he told of how the great forests of the land are being cut away and how the scarcity of oxygen will afifert the human race if the tlorist and nurseryman do not plant shrubs and trees and flowers to supply this life pre- serving oxygen to take up the carbonic gases, which are so deadly to all animal life. He said Easter Window of A. Warcndorff, New York, hold the exhibition. It reminded one of the one in the German House, which we had two years ago. The exhibition, the meetings and the banquet were all held in the same building and in fact we could get oiir meals there, too. so we had to leave the building only when it was time to sleep. It was as convenient a place as the society has ever found for a meeting place. Harmonie Hall Is about as convenient to the center of Detroit as the German House is here. We could walk to and from the hall in a few minutes. Of Detroit, of course, Tve could not see much, as its attractions are attractive only in the summer when the water is open and the vege- tation is dressed in its garb of bloom and foli- that an active florist is a groat benefactor to a community in that way. I wish that we could have a few such men in our society. Men who can talk eloquently and could help us to see more than the bare commercial side of our profession. I under- stand that the late Mr. Parker was such a man, and it would be well for us to hear a si>eech like Dr. Smith's at least three or four times a year. For wit and humor, you want Mr. Pierce from up in Massachusetts. He has his own original style of telling things and sayings that never fail to tickle an audience. For instance, when he arose in one of the business meetings to oppose a suggestion made by another mem- ber, he began by saying; "Mr. President. I don't know just what I am going to say, but I want to apologize before I begin." Then he would talk in a way that left no doubt as to what he meant to say. Lewis Ullrich's paper entitled "Has It Ever Occurred to You?" was one of the best I have ever listened to. Our own Gurney Hill was in fine form and made the banner speech of the evening. You know some men can talk good hard sense for hours, but never a joke passes their lips, while others can joke and spin yams for hours, but very little sense emanates from their mouths. Our friend Gur- ney is a past master at both, however, and when he did not have his audience in an up- roar, he was talking to us in a sensible and elevating manner. Mr. Sullivan displayed a sheet of paper about the size of a page in the News which was en- tirely covered with clippings from the local press about the carnation society and the cou- vention. They realize that to make a success of such a thing you must have the good will and help of the press. They can stir up in- terest among the people that can't be aroused any other way. They reach the people. Mrs. Vesey made a pretty little speech with- out any preparation, and I hope that some time when we have something doing in our town we may have her here to respond to a toast. There were twelve ladies present and they enjoyed the treat as much as the men. The trip to Breitmeyer's place at Mt. Cle- mens was a very enjoyable affair and will be remembered by all who took it in for a long time. This is certainly a progressive firm, as is shown by the way they have been push- ing their new rose. La Detroit. It was to view it that we were invited out there, and I must say it looks good. A few of us ran across the way to a carnation establishment owned by a Mr. Klagge. Their carnations were grand, but the violets could not compare with those at Smith & Young's. After we had been at Breitmeyer's a little while. I could not help but feel sorry for John Hartje because he did not stay to take In this trip, and for Alex. Nelson because he did not come along. A part of the lunch consisted of a twenty-nine-pound fish of some kind. I don't know the name. I know they would have enjoyed a slice of that meat. I'll bet they would not work much if they lived up there. The water is too close at hand, so, perhaps, it was a good thing they were not there. Of the show itself, you have read a good deal and know, perhaps, as much by this time as I do. On the first day the stock looked fine. The quality was very high except In substance in some cases. There was a good lesson there for those who are everlastingly craving fni- size. Enormous size can be reached only through high feeding, and unfortnnately high feeding seems to destroy substance. Blooms that have been fed up to an enormous size will not keep nearly as long as blooms of good aver- age size and grovm normally on healthy plants. I have In mind a grower who is noted for his high feeding, and you oould pick ont his vases all over the hall. Many of his blooms went to sleep before he was through staging his ex- hibits and he had to rearrange many of his vases, picking the best blooms ont of two or three vases to make up one good vase. And even then he was beaten all around. I was glad to see the Lawson gold medal go to an Indiana variety. Dorner's Fiancee won it with 100 grand blooms. Dailledouze Bros, showed the largest blooms in the hall. Their new white seedling from Prosperity is a bloom fully five inches across. This bunch of blooms suggested to me the question: "What size should we strive for In a commercial carnation? Do we want blooma over four Inches ?" It seems to me a carnation will cease to be a carnation when It begins to look too much like a cabbage. From three to four Inches ought to be as large as any one could want for even a fancy grade of carnations, and two and a half Inches makes a very pretty bloom for an ordinary grade. More attention should be given to form, freedom and keeping qualities. There should be some reward given to the vase that shows up best at noon of the second day. One of the carnation's strongest points In gaining the popular favor it now enjoys has been Its keeping quality. It certainly looks bad to see half the blooms asleep before they have been up two full days, when we never hesitate to tell our customers that they can keep carnation blooms in good condition a week or ten days, which Is true. too. There they see the largest and finest looking blooms going to sleep long before the more medium-sized ones begin to lof>k drowsy. Before you know It. they will begin to flght shy of your large blooms. We consider it a great favor conferred on the public to allow them to view our fine exhibitions, but we should be very careful that we do not create any wrong impressions through our desire to win premiums, etc. Some of the vases held up fine, while others of the same varieties went to sleep early. Adonis held up fine and so did Mrs. Lawson, Moonlight and In- dianapolis, while Enchantress retired early, all except Mr. Partridge's vase, which won two first premiums. This showed clearly that the srovring has much to do with the keeping of a bloom. Chicago seemed to be the popular choice for the meeting place for next year and every one agrees that It will be the best meeting we have evor held. I hope that this vicinity will send up a good delegation. By the way. I wonder April 14, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review. noi how many of our boys who joined the carnation society two years ago are still members. I remember there was some talk of everyone Joining for one year out of courtesy to the society. I think that is a very poor kind of courtesy, though. Why not join and stay joined? The $2 won't break you, and just think how much better you will enjoy it all whenever you can, attend the convention and know that you are a member and have a real interest In everything that is going on. And when the banquet n^ght draws near, you won't have to cause some friend the embarrassment of taking you into the banquet hall some way. Have you ever stopped to think what th<» American Carnation Society has done for you? I won't say that it has caused the Improvement of tho carnation. The carnation had been greatly improved and was being steadily im- proved before the society was organized, but here is what did happen: Before the American Carnation Society came into existence there were a few firms who raised seedlings to get new and improved varieties. Each, firm imag- ined that it had to put on the market from three to half a dozen or more varieties each year. It did not take a very good bloom to be as good as the average of that day and every variety that was about as good as the average was put on the market. Most of yon will remember the blooms that were shown at your chrysanthemum shows about twelve to fourteen years ago. It did not take long to glut the market with a lot of inferior varienes and you did not know what to buy. lest you throw your good money away. Only a very few were of any value whatever. It was the American Carnation Society that put a stop to this by requiring a variety to score up to a certain standard before it could receive its approval, and It was soon found that its ap- proval was essential to the successful lauuching of a new variety. This caused a more uniform improvement in the varieties offered to the trade, and a decided cutting down in the num- ber offered. Those firms which offered half a dozen each year are now glad to have one or two each year. I don't say that the carnation society's plan of awarding certificates is per- fect; in fact. I know it is not, and it is trying now to evolve a better plan, and no doubt it T^-ill materialize soon. You all know these things, but do you ever stop to think that you are the men who really profit by the work of the society? Tou do, more than anyone else. While you do occa- sionally buy a variety that does not live up to its promise, you do get a much larger per- centage of improved varieties than you used to get. And the varieties are very few that will not make you as much money per square foot as the old timers did. to say the least. Indi- ana stands right in the front rank in the pro- duction of new carnations and a large percent- age of our bread wimiers. as well as prize win- ners, were born in Indiana. Indiana ought to be well represented in the American Carnation Society and I wish that every one of our mem- bers could be a member of that society, too. It would be nothing more than showing an hon- est appreciation of favors rendered. A FEW HINTS ON PEONIES. They love a well-drained bed or border, and should uot be planted where water will stand during winter or spring, but they will grow and bloom most beautiful- ly in almost any kind of soil. If possi- ble, avoid planting them directly under a tree, or too near a hedge, for that would rob them of the necessary moisture which they should have during the summer, in order to lay up strength for the flowers produced the coming season. For the same reason do not allow blue-grass, or any other weed, to grow and share with your peonies the plant-food which they alone should have. Keep the bed well stirred for at least eighteen inches all around the plants. All herbaceous or perennial flowering plants bloom in pro- portion to the amount of care and treat- ment received the previous season. You should not expect much from anything that is half starved. In making your peony bed or border, do not use fresh manure; it should be well rotted and thoroughly mixed with the soil for at least a foot in depth ; eighteen inches of such fertilizing would give most wonderful results. Be quite liberal with the manure; if old and well rotted it will not harm the roots. Do not have the bed higher than the surrounding ground, but rather a little lower. Apply a coating of more manure each fall, and fork it into the ground in the spring. Always be careful not to disturb the buds that are "■^iB|M«^'# ^.jfT * ^Tnbidiums, zygopetalums and other genera having been successfully inter- crossed. Some especially fine eattleyas have been raised in late years. What we need here especially at the present time is a seedling raiser who will pro- duce large lots of such standard eat- tleyas as Mossise, Trianfe, MendelU an.? labiata, which are superior to all seed- lings so far raised where intercrossed. Such plants when of flowering size would readily bring much higher prices than dried specimens. Seedling raising has, during the past season, been successfully carried on in the open air in Oviedo, Florida, where an enthusiastic amateur has germinated numbers of eattleyas, Ifelio-cattleyas and dendrobiums on the mossy trunks of magnolia trees, pro- tected by cheesecloth. Temperatures of 28 to 30 degrees were frequently recorded where these seedlings were raised. This proves a most interesting experiment and opens up great future possibilities. ' ' Seedling raising under glass is at- tended with many obstacles and diflicul- ties. Good fern fibre of a soft, spongy natiire is suitable upon which to sow the seeds. They will also germinate if sown on the surface of the soil of growing orchid plants or on caHco cloth kept damp. Very great care in watering, ventilation and other details are neces- sary and if all these prove successful, flowering sized plants may be had in from two to ten years, according to the genera being worked upon. "In the matter of compost nothing- is better for the general run of orchids no4 The WeeHy Florists' Review. Apbil 14, 1904. than good Osmunda fern fibre; sphag- num moss we are using less each year. Plants with growing moss on the 8ur- I'acc of the pots or baskets look well, but what swarms of snails they bring and what havoc they raise with flower spikes an\l tender roots! Much has been written during the past few years on the culture of orchids in leaf mold, in preference to fern root. We tried it quite extensively and liked it for a time, but it eventually proved a failure and wt have permanently abandoned it. Odontoglossums, miltonias, eattleyas and (loiidrobiums all deteriorated in it under the most careful treatment, and we do not believe it will ever be of any servie:' in America. ' ' Cattleyas are easily the most popu- lar of orchids in America. With the exception of chrysotoxa, which likes a higher temperature, all the varieties named do well in a night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees in winter, or even a few degrees lower. They like an abundance of ventilation on all possible occasions, and succeed well in baskets, pans or pots either suspended from the roof or on staging within three feet of the glass. Closely allied to the eattleyas are the laelias. There are now numerous Lfelio-cattleyas, but as a rule they are too high-priced to be of general use. " Cypripediums are very useful or- chids. Their wonderful lasting proper- ties and diversity of form will always make them necessary where any number of orchids are grown. Dendrobiums are among the most lovely of orchids. They like plenty of heat and moisture during the growing season, a thorough ripening of the bulbs in a light, sunny house, and the withholding of water until the flower nodes are well advanced. Coelo- gynes,' especially the cristata, are beauti- ful and easily-grown orchids for deco- rative purposes. Calanthes. especially C. Veitehii, with its long spikes of rosy pink flowers, are indispensable winter- blooming orchids. They need a brisk, moist heat during the growing season and should not be placed in a lower tem- perature than 55 degrees even when in bloom. Pot culture in fibrous loam and dried cow manure and applications of liquid manure during growing season are necessary. ' ' Oncidiums are less cultivated than a generation ago. Other East Indian irchids, including the vandas, ivrides, phalsenopsis and saccolabiums, while con- taining many beautiful and graceful species, are not at present as popular as they were twenty-five years ago. Mil- tonias are very beautiful, especially the summer-blooming M. vexillaria. Odon- toglossums are the most beautiful of all orchids and the most difficult to grow in our eastern states. A few other use- ful orchids to grow are Phaius grandi- florus, Sophronitis grandiflora, Platyclinis glumaeea, eymbidiums in variety, Zygo- petalum Maekayi and Epidendrum vitel- linum ma.ius. "We do not believe that private es- tates in America, except in special eases, will form extensive orchid collections aa in Great Britain, and the tendency wiil be more to grow batches of a limited number of species for cut flower pur- poses or for other decorative effects. Their culture, from a commercial stand- point, will not progress as will that in private establishments, but their popu- larity will increase in the years to come and within ten years the number of groweis will be quadrupled. They will no\er be the flower of the masses, like the rose, carnation and violet, but will always be curious, interesting, beautiful and bewitching to the ever increasing army of flower lovers." RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY. At the meeting of the Florists ' Club of I'liiladelphia on the evening of April 5 the following resolutions were adopted: \Vheee.\s, The Florists' Club of Phil- adelpliia, having heard with deep regret of the untimely passing away of their fellow member, George E. Fancourt, be it Resolved, That the F'lorists' Club of Philadelphia hereby expresses its sincere sorrow at the loss of one who was so endeared to every member by his many good qualities of mind and heart. Hi? was regarded by us all as one of the most intelligent and progressive of the craft, .and was held in the warmest affec- tion and esteem by all who knew him. We shall miss his genial, kindly presence at our meetings, and Eesolved, That we hereby extend our sympathy to his bereaved family. EOBT. Craig, David Rust, Geo. C. Watson, Committee. BORDEAUX HAS NEW USE. Prof. B. T. Galloway, of the V. S. bureau of plant industry, recently made a statement to the effect that the depart- ment experts have come to the conclu- sion that Bordeaux mixture will exter- minate the germs of typhoid and mala ria in water, purify and clarify the wa- ter itself, and dissolve the slimy green substance, or ' ' algae, ' ' frequently found on the surface of stagnant pools 'if shallow water. Department experts have been extreme- ly careful not to announce the discovery officially, because it is yet a subject for daily investigation. Experiments are now in progress in New York, Boston, and elsewhere looking toward the appli- cation of the Bordeaux mixture as a means of removing typhoid germs from reservoirs which supply drinking water to those cities. Department ofiicials are not yet pre- pared to recommend that the general public should experiment on drinking water with this germicide, because they have found that one part of the solu- tion to 10,000,000 parts of water seems to be sufficient to kill off germs, and mis- cellaneous experiments might result in exterminating an unpleasant number of human beings. The Bordeaux mixture, according to the department formula, is made up as follows: Pour into a fifty gallon barrel twenty-five gallons of water; then weigh out six pounds of crushed blue stone or copper sulphate, and, after tying it in a piece of coarse sacking, suspend the package just beneath the surface of the water by means of a string tied to a stick laid across the top of the barrel. In another suitable vessel such as a tub or half-barrel, slack four pounds of fresh lime. Slack the lime carefully, pouring on small quantities of water ai a time, the object being to obtain a smooth and creamy liquid free from grit. When the lime is slacked add sufficient water to make twenty-five gallons. As soon as the blue stone is dissolved, which will require an hour or more, pour the lime, mUk, and blue stone solution to- gether, using a separate barrel for the purpose, and stir constantly to effect a thorough mixing. To be certain the mixture is safe, hold a steel knife blade in it for two or three minutes and if the poUshed surface of the blade shows a copper-colored tinge, add more Ume, but if it stays bright, the mixture is ready for use. — Chicago Tribune, DATES OF EASTER.

ST. PAUL. The Easter Market. Trade was not ideal, although business was fully equal to or a little ahead of previous years. There was a good sup- ply of everj-thing, although more lilies and violets would have found a market. In cut flowers retail prices were advancer I about twenty-five per cent. Plants sold at usual prices, although extra fine, well trimmed stock reached fancy figures. All the leading stores had extra displays, prominent among these being the win- dows of L. L. May & Co., the excellent stock of plants of the Swanson Floral Co. and the magnificent display made bv Holm & Olson. Fancy baskets of plants and violet hampers figured more promi- nently than ever before. Lilies were not as good as usual and a great many were late. One of the surprises of the trad ■ was the demand for palms and Boston ferns. Trade since Easter has been very sjr-- tifying and all surplus stock has been closed out dailv. X. Y. Z.

It is hard to realize the contrast be- nveen the past week and Easter week in rhe New York wholesale market. Prices Jiterally tumbled, until by Saturday it was hard to find a word in English ex- pressive enough to cover the conditions that prevailed. Special Beauties ^had fallen to about one-fourth of Easter prices, 10 to 15 cents heins the common i-ate for them. Special Maids retrograd- ♦■d to 6 cents for the finest and medium and inferior stock was cleaned out at any price that was offered. CaUas and Harrissi could seldom touch over 6 cents for the best. Carnations were abundant; 3 cents was top. Thousands went at 1 and 2 cents and even the novelties were as low as 4 cents. Violets were cut in two, that is, the specials dropped to 50 cents and others 25 cents and even 15 cents per 100, according to quality. The warm, sunny weather gives promise of a flood of bloom this week and even lower prices. The after Lent weddings, how- ever, are on the increase, society is blos- soming into activity again and there is good promise of a profitable April. But the era of high prices is ' ' closed for the season. " Club Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Florists' Club took place Monday evening and was well attended. The outing commit- tee reported everything progressing fa- vorably towards the club's annual festi- val in June and placed tickets on sale. Harry Ma}' and A. E. Asmus were elected to membership and A. S. Burns, Jr., of Spring Valley, was nominated. With a view to transportation arrange- ments for the club to the St._ Louis con- vention, Messrs. O 'Mara, Bunyard and Guttman, were appointed a committee. A good!)" attendance from New York is already a certainty. Messrs. Stewart, Butterfield and Weathered were ap- pointed as a committee to draft suit- able resolutions on the death of Mrs. Devoy, of Poughkeepsie, mother of the club's member. P. T. Devoy. Wilhelm Miller, now connected with Country Life in America, was present at the club meeting and gave an inter- esting address in the course of which he announced that Prof. Bailey had secured the passage of the bill by both houses at AJbany, appropriating a quarter of a million dollars towards the establish- ment of the new College of Agriculture at Cornell. He paid a generous tribute to the ability and character of Prof. Bailey. Mr. O'Mara spoke of the value of the government experiment stations and of Country Life in America. The reading of the paper on "Easter in New York. ' ' followed and a vote of thanks was tendered the author, the Review's New Y^'ork representative. The commis- sary department added its quota to the enioyment of the evening. P. T. Devoy, of Poughkeepsie, was a visitor at the meeting. He had vrith him some fine flowers and a plant of his new geranium. Telegraph, which is a seedling of lann. and of which some 10,000 plants are in stock. At the Dutchess County Society in November, a certificate of merit was awarded and the same honor was conferred by the New York Florists' Club at this session. The flower is of rare size and brilliancy, and was greatly admired. Other exhibits were Nephro- lepis Scottii, from John Scott, and the new rose Mine. Norbert Levavasseur. the dwarf Crimson Rambler and a fine thing from Vaughau 's greenhouses. The club's May meeting will have an exhibit of bedding plants and William Elliott will read his humorous paper on the "Idiosyncrasies of the Auction Business." At the June meeting the exhibit will include peonies and summer tlowers, and will be made a ladies' night, preparatory to the outing which follows shortly after. There will be no meetings of the club during .July and August. At the September meeting there will be an exhibit of perennials and asters, and other outdoor flowers. Bronx park and the private gardeners are requested to participate. The October meeting will be devoted to an exhibit of cannas and dahlias, and chrysanthemums and violets will entertain the members and their friends in November. The final meeting •f the year, December 12, will be de- voted to the supply houses and exhibits of novelties and designs for Christmas will be encouraged. More About Easter. Easter still remains a pleasant mem- ory. The returns are all in and there is nothiifg to gainsay the record of the best Easter on record. The sales of vio- lets were phenomenal. On one wholesale sheet the total showed an aggregate of 530,600. Of this immense quantity 83,- 000 were received from pne shipper, al- most as many as reached the New York market altogether a score of years ago. Another wholesale house sold over 400,- 000, another 350,000, another a quarter of a million, and so on down the list, nearly 3,000,000 being distributed from the New York wholesale market. The supply, large as it was, was completely exhausted. A violet expert among the wholesalers tells me that sixteen years ago, 130,000 violets would cover Easter shipments; that twelve years ago $1 a 100 was con- sidered a very high price, while 75 cents was the average. Last year the quality was poor and the prices high, $1..50 per 100. That the atmospheric conditions before Easter decide values and amount of shipments and really control the vio- let market. Fine weather means the sale of all that reach the New York market, while of good stock there never has been an overproduction. Twenty years ago 80,000 violets sold by one wholesale hous" was considered remarkable, while now a single grower sometimes sends more than this amount to the market. He predicts for Easter 1905 a small stoc'; and poor quality, owing to the lateness of the festival. He thinks the success of the present year was due largely to the rainy and unseasonable weather, the com- paratively limited supply, the excellent quality of the stock and the reasonable prices. If the weather had been fine thr market would have been flooded. The favorite carnation was the Lawson. IMany of the wholesale houses disposed of over 10,000 of this variety. The value of not crossing bridges until one reaches them was again exemplified. The ma- jority approached Easter with fear and trembling. The winter was bad enoucrh to rattle any expert and the veterans had lost their nerve. The weather, up to Good Friday night, was abominable. But the whole face of things was changed by the sunlight of Saturday and Sunday noon victory perched upon every banner. The retail stores everywhere shared in the great success. The plants left over in no case, even with the smallest stores, were more than enough to furnish a re- spectable window decoration. The pyra- midal azaleas sold well, as did every nov- elty. The dwarf Crimson Rambler was greatly admired, a plant not over two feet in height, covered with clusters of red flowers and, in fact, not a Rambler at all but the new rose, Mme. Norbert Lmavasseur, whose parentage is Tur- ner 's Crimson Rambler and Gloire des Polyantha. It is a beautiful thing and sure to be very popular. The flowers are of a brighter red and said to be a con- tinuous bloomer throughout the summer. The photos of some of the leading stores, in last week's issue and this, indicate fairly weU the variety of plants sold and the attention paid to artistic and at- tractive groupings. Various Items. The seedsmen are overwhelmed with work owing to the lateness of the season and the sudden coming of summer tem- perature. The next few weeks will be the busiest of their lives. This condi- tion is universal. There is enough and to spare for all and not an establishment fails to share in the general prosperity. The auctions are now in full blast, the advent of spring filling the rooms vrith eager buyers. The stock is first-class and prices are now qmte satisfactory. The greenhouses of Julius Roehrs, at Carlton Hill, were placed upon the list of the generous by the recording angel on the Sunday before Easter, when by the admission of the public a handsome sum was realized for the Passaic General Hospital. It is an example of thoughtful generosity worthy of emulation. H. A. Siebrecht addressed the mem- bers of the Horticultural Society of New York Wednesday evening on "Tree Planting in the City Streets," a subject he is most competent to handle from many years' experience. Last week the inventor of John West- cott's punch and A. B. Cartledge, o± Philadelphia, visited James Dean, of Freeport, L. I. As Sam Bernard says in The Girl from Kays: " Suflieiency. " Chas. Schenck, of Traendly & Schenck, was the proud recipient and exhibitor of a handsome diamond ring last week, the gift of Arcana Lodge, F. & A. M., of which he has been the honored master during the past two years. Ralph Perkins, who was so seriouslv ill. is now on the way to complete^ recov- ery. It was a narrow escape, his case having been given up by all as hope- William Elliott is an original adver- tiser. His latest was a lamb in front of his store on Dey street surrounded bv boxes of his sheep fertilizer with a unique announcement on the cage that can better be imagined than described. H. H. Berger & Co. say that orders for fall delivery are coming in rapidly al- ready and that the outlook is very en- couraging. Adiantum Croweanum grows in favor and its popular disseminator, Wm. Kast- inff. has a winner as usual. Its fronds are great keepers. John I. Raynor has controlled and popularized it in New York. John Scott, of Flatbush, is also m the crest of the wave with his new fern Scotti. a certain and practical success. N. Lecakes is again in the city after a visit to his old home in Greece. no6 The Weekly FloristJ^^ Review. APKIL 14, 190,4. H. C. Steinhoflf, of Hoboken, has left for his annual trip to Bermuda.

The Market Last week's market was very unsatis- factory, the accumulation of stock being decidedly unwieldy and prices low. There was a surplus in practically every line and a great deal of stock was sold in job lots at whatever the buyer was will- ing to give. This week conditions are slightly improved, the few days of dark and cold weather having served to retard production. There is yet, however, an ample supply for all requirements aad prices are not as stiff as should be the case in comparison with the high grade of stock. It is seldom that the average receipts in this market have graded as well as at the present time but there is considerable complaint upon the part of wholesalers and growers that it is impos- sible to clean up each day's receipts; while the prospect is that a few bright days will largely augment the supplv. It looks very much as though the spring glut were at hand. CJountry trade is holding up fairly well, although require- ments are light, but city demand is again very weak, but this is nothing unusual at this season of the year. Various Items. L. Coatsworth and Leonard Kill went to St. Louis last night with some ex- hibits for the rose show to be given to- day by the St. Louis Florists' Club. August Lange has closed the Ploralia. Geo. Eeinberg reports that he used 121' cars of coal this winter. A. L. EajidaJl Co. has put in an ad- dressograph to facilitate getting out price lists on short notice. Frank Garland and M. Winandy will move into Room 218 in the Atlas block the latter part of this week. Lottie Wilson, who was for a long time employed by A. G. Prince & Co., and later by Bassett & Washburn, died on Sunday. Several of the wholesalers sent flowers to her funeral Tuesday. L. P. Kelly has moved his retail store to 423 W. Taylor street. Chas. Balluff is looking for an oppor- tunity to get back into the florists' busi- ness. He has had much experience in both the wholesale and retail depart- ments. A committee consisting of P. J. Haus- wirth, H. C. Rowe and E. F. Wintersoii made an effort to get the mayor to over- ride the ruling which prohibited flowers being sent to the council chamber for the aldermen who took their seats Monday night. They had a petition signed bv practically all the wholesale and retail florists, but were told that they were too lato to do anything for this year and flowers were barred, at a loss to the trade estimated at from $3,000 to $4,000. The same committee will go ahead and endeavor to get the rule rescinded before another year comes around and they will also take hold of the matter of the ban placed on flowers by the superintendent of schools, which is a more important matter, even, than the ono relating to thi- city council. The Geo. Wittbold Co. reports that March was the best spring month in its history, both in the wholesale and retail departments. Stephen Costigan, who formerly kept a flower store on the north side, is reported missing by his mother, who lives in Cleve- land and who has asked the police to locate her son. Among the week 's visitors were F. J. Foster, of St. Louis, and Abraham Grof- vert, of Kalamazoo, Mich. There was a meeting of the Horticul- tural Society on Tuesdaj-. No business was done further than to appoint a nomi- nating committee. There was consider- able discussion of fall flower show affairs. Flint Kennicott has suffered all winter with rheumatism and is now compelled to use a cane. Ludwig Mosbaek lost about $800 in the recent big wind, which demolished a house filled with Boston and Piersoni ferns. His windmill, barn and coal shed were blown a long distance and all the trolley and other poles for a mile were blown down. P. J. Hauswirth had the decorations for the Hamilton Club's large banquet April 9. That many growers were late with their Easter lilies is shown by the quan- tities now in market. They are slow sale. The weather man keeps a record of average temperatures and has it figured out that in the 102 days of the year to April 13 we were just 452 degrees short of the normal amount of heat. PITTSBURG. The Market. Business in cut flowers is anything but rushing and, with heavy crops coming in, a general glut is not far off. Roses are accumulating and so are carnations. The demand for American Beauties is very light; the best can be bought at 30 cents. Brides and Maids are offered as low as $2 to $6 per 100. Some spe- cials bring $10, but these must be fine. Fine carnations are quoted at $15 per 1,000 while fancy novelties bring onl- $3 per 100. Lilies are plentiful; $S per 100 for the very best is the asking price. Violets have no fixed value. An abundance of fine yellow and white daisies, mignonette, sweet peas, candy- tuft, cut baby primrose and Ulae is about. The only decidedly new flower in the market is yellow, white and pur- ple Spanish iris, which is very fine in- deed. Smilax is a very scarce article, but plenty of the other greens can be had to fill out on this green. Bulbous stock, such as tulips, daf- fodils, narcissi, etc., is almost a thing of the past, and I judge from the left- over stock previous to Easter and thi' week following, this industry was just a trifle overdone. With all the growers in this section indications point to an abundance of flowers for some time to come. Various Notes. Theo. F. Beckert is cutting quantities of Spanish iris, which are handled by the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. This firm is also, receiving some extra fine Adonis, Goethe and Enchantress carnations from the Crystal farm at Bakerstown. Burki is adding one more grcenlious? to his Bakerstown plant, also a filteration plant for the water supply is now under construction. Mose Ihinlevy is cutting very fine nar- cissi, Bieolor Empress, Emperor and Sir Watkins as big as any one would want them. Charles Hoffmeyer is cutting strong on a house of Kaiserins of good quality. H. L. Blind & Bros, have a full crop of Maids and Brides which are hard to beat. The season is exceedingly late, and no opportunity for outside work has pre- sented itself. Randolph & McClements say business is very satisfactory. Numerous good- sized wedding decorations are keeping them busy. Nothing but the very best stock is handled bv this firm. L. I. Neff, who has four retail flower shops, reports business fair with good prospects for a busy spring trade. A. W. Smith was very busy last week with several large wedding decorations. P. Peterman is supplying E. C. Lud- wig with pink dahlias, A. D. Livoni, which were forced and came in for Eas- ter. S. J. Hatch, of the Wilkinsburg Floral Co., was married April 5 to Miss Marv Schumaker, of Wilkinsburg. Another florist has also joined the ranks of the benedicts. .Tames Moore, who was mar- ried April 9 to Miss Mary Watt, is fore- man of the Phipps Conservatories at Al- legheny park.

The latter part of the -neek following Easter the weather was cold, blustery and raining, and the past week has been cor- respondingly dull, with stock of all kinds and in all grades abundant and prices about half of the preceding week. The week's business, among the re- tailers, consisted chiefly of funeral work, a few weddings and the opening of the new Jefferson Hotel, which used up quite a lot of cut flowers, also the ball held there which was one of the big social events of the year. Quite a number of weddings, receptions and dinner parties were reported for this week, for which any amount of first-class flowers are in the market. A number of retailers are complain- ing that some of the shipments for Eas- ter were what they termed ' ' bum ' ' stock, especially carnations, some of them unfit to send out to their customers. The lat- ter part of last week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the market broke badly, in roses especially, including Beauties. The special grade of these came in so freely that the price has fallen below $3 per dozen. The smaJler roses, such as Bride, Maid, Carnot, Golden Gate, Me- teor and Perle, are sacrificed at an ex- ceedingly low price, for $3 and $4 is surely a low price for choice stock. The quality of this stock was never better. Carnations, too, are very plentiful at this writing and stock very fine. Fancies in Lawson, Woleott and Enchantress sold as low as $3, with first-class stock at from $1.50 to $2 per 100. These prices bid fair to continue throughout the present week, as the wholesalers say the glut is on good and proper. Violets are becoming scarcer, small and somewhat shriveled up and very much ■off color, still the best sell at 50 cents per 100. Harrisii are plentiful at $12.50. Callas go at $10. Paper Whites and Eomans are almost over. Daffodils are a drug and so are jonquils. Valley is still good, at $3. Dutch hyacinths run $4 per 100. Sweet peas have some de- mand, with plenty in the market for all. First-elasa smilax is scarce, with a good demand at from 15 to 18 cents per string. Shipping trade, which has been good at the wholesale houses, has fallen off since Easter. From reports it was very satisfactory for the season. Various Notes. J. W. Craig, of Philadelphia, is in the •city looking after the planting around the Pennsylvania building at the World 's Fair grounds. The souvenir book of the St. Louis Florists' Club for our S. A. F. conven- tion in August is now being pushed. This will be one of the most handsome books of its kind ever gotten up. It will give the desired information to those who will attend the convention, in fact a complete guide of the city and the World's Fair grounds. It mil also be handsomely illustrated with photographic views of all the prominent places in the city and buildings at the World 's Fair grounds, also of all the prominent mem- bers of our society. So every member of the S. A. F. may look for one at least one month in advance of the convention. Superintendent Kuehn, of the trade •display, has the plans of the exhibition tall in the hands of the printer and will be ready for mailing by the first of th(> week. Mr. Kuehn thinks that space will be at a premium by June 1. The con- vention is only eighteen weeks off and all committees are in working order. F. M. Ellis, chairman of the hotel committee, is perfecting his plans for hotel accommo- dations for the craft before, during and after the convention. Those in the trade who intend visiting us during this time shoidd communicate with Mr. Ellis, at 1316 Pine street, who will be glad to an- swer all questions regarding hotel ac- commodations. The few warm days early in the week found the plant stands in Union Market open and doing a rushing business. Among those who made displays were C. Young & Sons, Wm. Schray & Sons and C. C. Sanders. Trade in fruit, shade and ornamental trees, also hardy shrubs of all kinds, is very good this spring. Seedsmen on Third and Fourth streets report a big trade in gTass seed and expect from now on to be very busy with everything in their line. Bonrling.

Trade has not been very satisfactory since Easter. While now and then there has been a little spurt, on the whole things have been moring along very quietly and there has been little to dis- turb the generally serene atmosphere. True, there have been some good sized wedding decorations and also a goodlv lot of funeral work, but had it not been for these there would have been a glut of no small size on hand. At present transient trade is very quiet. Ever since Easter roses have been com- ing by the thousands and the price has dropped till the buyer has things verv much his own wa.y. The man who buys job lots is now in his glory and if he is lucky enough to have a lot of funeral work he is reaping a harvest. A ma- jority of the roses are of poor quaUty and it is at times hard to fill even a small order with first-class stock. Ivory and Gate are much in evidence and there is some really fine stock of these varie- ties. There is not nearly so large a sup- ply of carnations and at times there are not enough to fill orders. The price is holding up better than on roses. They are showing much better keeping quali- ties than for some time past. Bulbous stock is selling quite well, all things considered, and the supply and demand are about equal. Violets are scarce. Eastern ferns are about used up for this season, but there are some good dag- ger ferns that are selling well. Smilax is very scarce and asparagus of all kinds is eq»ally so. There is very little adian- tura. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Critchell have returned to Atlanta, Ga., after making a short visit with the home folks. L. F. Darnell, store man for the J. M. Gasser Co., of Cleveland, passed through this city Monday on his way home from the south. He put in his time visiting some of our greenhouses. The regular meeting of the Florists' Society was held Saturday night. The at- tendance was quite small but some busi- ness was done. It was voted to award the S. A. F. silver medal to The Cardinal and the bronze to Indianapolis, subject to the approval of the S. A. F. Now that Easter business has been figured up and about all in the trade heard from, I find that on a general average it was fully as good as last year, but I doubt if it was any better. This was due more to the verv bad weather we had than to anything else. There is no question in my mind but that, if the weather had been better, this year's Easter trade would have been fullv twenty-five per cent ahead of last year. C. J. Ohmer. BOSTON. The Market. Since Easter trade has been dull, with flowers generally in oversupply. A num- ber of large weddings which used flowers quite extensivelv helped to support the market. Prices all around have dropped considerably from a week ago. Violets are getting smaller, although Wm. bim and other growers are still sending m extra fine stock. Mayflowers from the Plymouth woods are now quite plentiful and sell on sight. Various Notes. Wm Sim, of Cliftondale. is one of the most successful of the larger growers for the Boston market. His pick of Princess of Wales violets for Easter was 120,000, all of first-rate quality. Sweet peas he also grows superbly; his Easter cut of these was 45,000. The only varieties grown are Mont Blanc and Earliest Of All. Probably no such sweet peas were ever before seen in this or anv other market. Mr. Sim also grows stock for Decoration day trade in quan- tity, chrysanthemums, cucumbers and tomatoes. Azaleas are at present the most salable of pot plants and the various florists are making good displays of them. W. E. Doyle, at his Boylston street store, had his' large window filled with beautiful specimens of Vervseneana the past week. no8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ April 14, 1904. Thomas Galvin, at his Tremont street store, has a window entirely filled with Carnation Mrs. M. A. Patten, one of Peter Fisher's introductions. The blooms were of superb quality and at- tracted considerable attention. There will be quite a number of valu- able special prizes offered at the meeting of the American Kose Society here in 190.5, by residents of Boston and vicinity. Peter Ksher speaks before the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club on April 20. on "The Carnation." He is sure of a large and interested audience. It will pay disseminators of novelties to send a few blooms along for this meet- ing. S. J. Goddard is busy on his new- greenhouse plant at Framingham. He is one of the most successful carnation growers for our market and has one or two seedlings which will be heard from later. Dutch bulb travelers have been quite mimerous of late and claim to have booked very large orders. Some of them are looking up private places and offer- ing goods at the same rates as to market growers, as well as making other ' ' special inducements" to purchasers. The schedule for the JVIassaehusetts Horticultural Society . has usually not been issued before January 1, but this year it is hoped to place it in the hands of all would-be exhibitors not later than September 1. An effort will be made to considerably increase flower and plant premiums. The question is sometimes debated as to whether or not music pays at flower shows. At the spring exhibition in Boston in 1903 music was used at a five-day show. This year it was dis- pensed with entirely at the four-days ex- hibition recently held. The results would seem to justify the change, for John Farquhar, chairman of the conunittee of arrangements, states that the net profits will be about $250 more than in 1903. So far as can be learned, only two ladies were found who wanted their money back owing to the absence of music, and it was cheerfully returned. The results of the late winter are be- coming more evident as we get wanner weather. Rhododendrons are badly killed and where plants are spared flower buds are killed, Bhododendron maximum suf- fering even worse than the Catawbiense hybrids. Kalmias and andromedas also died out badly. Numerous other ever- greens are badly scorched. Crimson Rambler rose, which has also previously proved ironclad, is entirely killed above the snow line. That pretty Rosa nigosa variety, Mme. Georges Bruaut, is killed out entirely. Many other rose species have suffered severely. Some of the %-ibumums, forsytliias. weigelias, steph- anandras, Kgustrimis and other deciduous shrubs are badly killed and much plant- ing will be needed to replace dead stock. There will be a prize exhibition at Horticultural Hall on May 7. Classes are provided for Azalea indica, calceo- larias, pelargoniums in variety, tulips, narcissi, native plants and a variety of vegetables. The energies of growers are now be- ing bent on stock for the Decoration day trade, which assumes immense pro- portions in New England. Probabilities are that more outdoor flowers than u.sual will be in season tliis year, owing to the lateness of the spring. W. X. Craig. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The halcyon days of the cut flower market are over for the season. Stock is coining in freely and a marked de- crease in the volume of business at the close of last week caused a bad break in prices. Some improvement was shown this week, thanks to good local and ship- ping orders, but there is not near enough business to absorb the stock offered. Lilies are as was expected very plenti- ful and can be had in quantity for a mere song. Carnations have fallen oft' considerably, especi^ly the fancy grades, which have been so popular during the season. Violets are also much lower in price, but decrease in production pre- vents their decline being so marked as is that of other flowers. Sweet peas are in good and valley in fair demand, with some pretty nice stock offered. Beauty and Edgely have fallen off about one- half and are very much harder -to sell than at last week 's quotations. Select tea roses are fairly desirable, but sec- onds and culls are a burden indeed. Daf- fodils of every description are to be had for the asking, or nearly so, and tu- lips are little used. The bright particu- lar spot on the list are the greens; smi- lax, asparagus and hardy ferns are all in active demand. Various Items. The April meeting of the Germantown Horticultural Society was held on Mon- day evening in Association Hall. There was a good display of blooming plants. "The Preparation of Soil," by Albert Woltemate, and the "Harbingers of Spring" were the subjects for discus- iiion. ' A Japanese catalogue just received in this country closes with the following de- lightful paragraph: "And I as well as any Japanese, also beg to thank to the kind sympathy expressed by the Ameri- can and English frie.ids toward the present hostilities against Russia." B. Eschner received a message from M. Rice, on the Deutschland in mid- ocean by Marconi vrireless telegraphy. Eugene Bernheimer is receiving fine lavender sweet peas. The Florists' Club is considering a May party in June at Essington. Wm. K. Harris had an unusually good Easter. His stock was exceptionally well grown. A. Leuthy, of Boston, was a visitor lately. The street fakirs are in their glorv now, offering quantities of flowers at temnting prices. Edward Reid has the sympathy of his friends in the loss of his father-in-law. Mr. Anderson, of Garrettford. Albert Woltemate grew a very lar^e stock of plants for Easter. His lilies sold out cleanly. Charles F. Edgar & Co. have had some good shipping orders this week. Tlie bulb growers' salesmen are not meeting with a very good demand this season from florists who force Dutch bulbs for cut flowers. The demand for bulbs for outdoor planting is increasing, however. W. J. Baker still wears the satisfied look of one conscious of hard work well done despite the present quiet. W. P. Peacock, Atco, N. J., was in town this week. Phil. PORTLAND, ORE. Easter Trade. The memory of the past few weeks has been entirely supplanted by satisfaction over the results of the Easter trade. Our efforts were put to a great test in bring- ing stock into bloom at the right time. The pioneers of Oregon do not remember such a wet season in twenty years. Dur- ing February we had twelve inches of rain and only ten hours of sunshine. March treated us little better. April brought the first real signs of spring. The Saturday before Easter was fine until 6 p. m., but from that time till midnight it rained great guns. Sunday was an ideal day. From reports to date we are able to state that a 20 per cent increase was realized over last year, all good available stock being easily disposed of and at a slight advance on regular prices. We have learned that the public will not stand high prices at Easter in our temperate climate. Nothing new in the way of novelties was introduced, but all blooming plants were finely done and trimmed to suit the most fastidious. The Easter lily again maintained its popularity and there were none left un- sold. Azaleas and spiraeas were also in demand, but they sell better here in the winter months. Potted hj'aeinths were the finest seen here in years, single plants retailing as high as 50 cents each. There were enough plants to meet all demands, as cut flowers are a more important fac- tor in our city. Considering the early date of Easter and the absence of sunshine, the quality of home-grown stock was all that could be expected; and liberal importations from California enabled us to fill all orders in the cut flower line. C'alla lilies were more freely used in church decorations than heretofore and there were plenty of them. • We grow them here on five-foot stems, as vigorous as Oregon timber. Those shipped in from California are too soft and poorly packed to be a profit- able investment. The supply of roses was limited, as there is never a surplus here during the wet season. Prices ranged from $1.50 to $4 per dozen. The carnation might be styled the queen of the flower market, as it seems to be a fa- vorite with all and is more generally used here than any other flower. Leading va- rieties retailed from $1 to $2 per dozen. Violets were seen at their best ami were on in full crop. In quantity, bulbous stock predominated and sold fairly well at a moderate price. Most of it was grown outside and that protected from the heavy rain was par excellence in quality. An item which helped to swell the re- ceipts of the week was an unusually large call for funeral work. All good short-stemmed flowers were used to an advantage. H. J. M. Lafayette, Colo. — F. Haenselman, the landscape engineer, has removed here from Denver. The Review is a ray of light, a morn- ing sun to the progressive florist. — J. R. Elder, Sioux City, Iowa. Harrisburg.

NEW HAVEN. CONN. Easter Trade. Easter trade was a record breaker but about all the sales were made on Satur- day. Friday was so wet that there was hardly any business, but Saturday was as if made to order and by noon there was a shortage on many lines of stock. Flowering plants took the lead, with LiUum Harrisii in the front and pink and white azaleas a close second. The azaleas were very good this year, also the rhododendrons and much in demand.

PACIFIC COAST. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Tlio latter part of Kasler week was all that could be asked for as to weather. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were showery — on Thursday the suu eame out and we have had beautiful j\eather ever since. Business for Easter was about the same as that of last year, no special rush anywhere and plenty of stock to fill all requirements. Lilies sold well and there were plenty to be had. The stores re- tailed them at from $4 to $U per dozen stems and plants in pot at $1 each, al- though some extra large stems in 7-ineh pots retailed at $1.50 each. Azaleas sold well in 6 and 7-inch pots at $2 to $3 tacli. Roses were not overplentiful and sold at fair prices. Carnations were in good supplv except whites and they wholesaled "at $3 and $4 per 100. A few growers had patches of Empress daf- fodils and easily disposed of them at $1.50 per 100. Narcissus poeticus at $1 per 100 and valley at $3 to $4, were eagerlv bought up. Some white lilac both in pots and from the open was shown in the larger stores and quantities of cherry and pear blossoms helped keep up the show. All sorts of evergreen stuff sold well and we have an ocean of it at this time. Calla lilies were used for church decorations by the thousands and sold wholesale at $1 per 100. Spirseas in pots sold wholesale at from $6 to $9 per dozen. Take it as a whole, business was up to the usual Easter mark and all the growers I have seen were well pleased with their sales and the retailers with only a few exceptions seem to be satisfied. Various Notes. During Easter week Sievers & Boland had by far the largest and most artistic show of flowers and plants in town. Their windows were a center of attrac- tion and their big trade well justified the trouble this enterprising firm goes to, to keep them up. F. Shibeley had a very busy Easter. He handles nothing but first-class stock and does a good sliipping business as well as conducting one of the largest retail stores In town. Some complaint was made that many of the Easter lilies delivered in pots had been only transplanted in them a few hours, being taken from boxes and staked up for the occasion. They did not hold their heads up well, in many instances not being sufficiently established to stand the change of temperature from the greenhouse to the store. The plants came from the Japanese growers entirely, I am told. G. Ottavsta, III. — Fred J. King was laid up during the Easter rush but is now able to be about again.

Easter business was very satisfacton'. Cut flowers of all kinds sold well, vio- lets taking the lead; thousands more could have been disposed of. Carnations sold at $4 to $6 per 100, or as high a? $1.50 per dozen retail for fancies. There was a good call also for pot plants, especially azaleas and lilies. Since Easter everything has been very quiet, so there is quite a little stuff left over, but it is eleaaied up every day by the Greek at the four corners. G. Bennett reports a small loss since the thaw as water got into one of his greenhouses and flooded his violets. He will build one more carnation house this season, 26 x 150. He grows for J. B. Keller's Sons and expects to be able to cut all they can use next season. C. Fry reports business very satisfac- tory. He has a good many houses de- voted to carnations and ^ives bis fore- man. G. Faust, entire charge and it is run in the best of shape, as they hav- had heavy cuts all winter. He will build another house 30 x 200 feet. Ed. Brockman picked over 2,000 Law- son carnations from 1,300 plants for Easter, which he sold at $5 per 100. . H. JT. PITTSBURG FLORISTS' CLUB.

Indianapolis held up in splendid shape. There are two reasons for this. Indianapolis is a splendid keeper and we have not overfed nor overforced our stock. Our vase of 200 blooms was not en- tered for competition, that's why you did not see it mentioned among the prize winners, but it made a host of friends. We still have about 10,000 for March delivery. Fine healthy cuttir:gs that will make fine stock for next winter's flowering. Will make you more money than any other pink carnation.

ToPEKA, Kans. — James Hayes says lilies could hardly have been in liner shape than they were for Easter. Busi- ness ivas very brisk. Potted plants sold well but the increase seemed to . be mostly on cut flowers. Beading, Pa. — H. J. Huesmann says that this was the best Easter on record, lilies were the popular item and ranged in price from 15 to 20 cents a bloom. Hoskin & Giles, who have t'wo establish- ments, also report a big business. Church decoration was a leading feature of the work. Brooklyn, N. T. — Jacob Thinnes, of 245 De Kalb avenue, died of apoplexy while sitting at a card table at his club. He was 64 years of age and a native of Germany. His 'wife, two sous and a daughter sur'vive. Bloomington, III. — The old game of tlie palm swindler was worked on W. T. Hempstead one evening just before Easter. A stranger ordered cut flowera and plants delivered at the address of a customer, met the delivery wagon and secured the stock, the customer knowing nothing about the transaction. 1122 The Weekly Florists' Review.

In piping a greenhouse fur heating with water it is generally recommended to carry a large flow pipe to the extreme end of the house and there enter the coil of smaller pipes forming the return. 1 have used this system of arranging pipes but have always found the extreme end of the house much warmer than the end near the boiler. As a remedy I have thought it might be best to reverse mat- ters, letting the small pipes carry the flow in a downward course to the far- thest end and collect and return through the large pipe, placing it below the coil instead of above. This would divide the water and cause a more rapid radiation at the beginning of the flow. Will you kindly advise me in this matter and give the results of actual tests if any have been made. F- A. H. I know of no experiment in which the heating pipes have been arranged in the manner described. I am skeptical regard- ing the outcome of the modification sug- gested, for if with the present arrange- ment the end nearest the boiler is too cool it is evident the radiating coils are too long for the rate of flow. If the system were to be reversed and the flow reduced by the friction through the small pipes to the far end of the house I fear the result would be that the far end of the house would be even colder than the end near the boiler is now. It would be safer to place a short relay coil in the end of the house near the boiler if too cool, rather than to attempt to equalize the temperature by reversing the system. L. C. C. Avon, N. Y. — The Erie railroad has decided to go out of the gardening bus- iness and will not plant its station grounds in the future. The green- houses here were established twenty years ago in charge of James Sutoliffe, who has managed the works ever since. He has purchased the stock now in the greenhouses and as soon as he has sold it out they will be torn down. Superior Boilers Are Good Boilers. Read what our customerslsay about them: South Bend. Ind., April 4. 1904. "Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have ever used. You certainly have placed the right name to your Boilers, no effort at all to keep the temperature at de. sired points when zero weather comes. Night after night the past severe winter weather gave yotir Boiler a good test. We are more than pleased with the Super- ior Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettic. Send for Catalogne and Price List.

The popularity of this Violet is astonishing. I have sold in the city of Boston this winter 1,300,000 blooms without having to make any sacrifice. You can do the same if you have good stock. You cannot afford to have poor stock. I have simply the best stock in the country.

The Weekly Florists' Review, 1149 MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. The Use of Cold Frames and Hotbeds. From now till the end of May all our linns that deal in bedding plants will lie gradually growing more congested and every week will see them seeking more space for the rapid growth of the soft-wooded plants at this time of year. In the torpid and hibernating winter- time all nature takes a rest and when the melting snows are welcomed by mother earth and the blue bird and robin tell us with melody that spring is with us again, then also takes place a most marvelous division and subdi- vision of the protoplasm and then, ngain, the poet sings: A young man's fancy lightlv turns To thoughts of — soft lioiled eggs. Some ancient scribe said that in the springtime the young man's fancy turned to love. He was partly wrong. The young man, and the old man ditto. is, and always will be, susceptible of love at any time of year, and the writer has experienced that the lower the quicksilver in the thermometer the higher was the warmth of his whole being and his ardent wish to do a fel- low being a good turn. This is, however, not what I was in- tending to say, except that when spring comes there is a marvelous awakening of all nature. But it is not marvelous simply because it is nature. If the awakening began in the. fall it would be marvelous, but we intelligent beings have sufficient appreciation that it is good _ and blessed. If we were born to exist in steam heat we should think that was blessed. The Eskimo thinks there is no climate like the frigid north. The European born in Calcutta or Cey- lon, when on a visit to temperate Eu- rope, pines to return to his or her na- tive torrid zone, and so you have tl\.' whole world satisfied. And Now to Business. I don 't relish descending from philos- ophy to cultural notes of our common plants, but I must. You can help your crowded houses very much by the judi- cious use of cold frames and, better stiU, by hotbeds. Before the wide- spread use of hot water or steam- heated houses for the forcing of early vegetables, the hotbeds were made great use of and were a most important aiii in that branch of gardening. I do not advocate any such laborious arrange- ments as those that a vegetable grower of thirty years ago used to practice, when he began to collect his material in February and early in March started his lettuce or cucumbers and for many succeeding weeks had to keep a most vigilent care of them. But I do believe in a foot or eighteen inches of Tvell trodden down stable manure, with five or six inches of loam over it, as a grand place for several of our important bedding plants for the month of May. Stable manure is as good as anything. If leaves of the last fall are mixed with it, well and good, and, if your neighbors don't ob- ject, there is no fermenting material better than refuse hops from a brewery. What to Put in Hotbeds. We seldom make use of these hot- beds before May 1, about the time we feel the greatest need of more bench room. There is something about the condition of a mild hotbed that makes many plants actually jump, but not all plants need that stimulant. What to put there and what to keep in the houses is the question. Broadly speaking, plants that want a high temperature and which are slow to grow without it are those that should go into the hotbed. I know of no soft-wooded plants that would not be greatly accelerated in their growth by being plunged in the warm like the zonale geranium, should not go into a hotbed, for it would make their growth so rank that they would be very \infit plants for any flower gardening liurpose. There is not only a blessing in re- lieving your crowded benches in the use of these primitive greenhouses, but you have the great advantage of removing the sash entirely on warm days, so that the plants become inured to the freer air and sun, wliich the}' will luive to endure in a few weeks. The Cold Frame. The cold frame is also a most valu- able help at this time of year, and not half as much made use of as it might be. Any plant that will grow and thrive in a night temperature of 50 de- grees will do very well in a cold frame after May 1. Where is there a better place for tea or hybrid tea roses that have been dormant or nearly so all win- ter? Now you want to grow them along slowly before planting out. 1 don't think I am intruding on either east or west earnationists. all glory to theni. when I say that there will be more houses of carnations planted this year with plants that never saw the fieM than ever before.

I have in mind several plants that are by no means tropical and yet when the" fires are let out in May and perhaps the glass madf opaque with whitewash, just linger and stunt. In the month of May I would put into these hotbeds, alternantheras. acaly- phas, coleus, tuberous-rooted begonias, iresine and. among the colder-blooded plants, the variegated geraniums, verbenas, lemon verbena, mignonette, heliotrope and others will occur to you.

They will keep them in 3 or 4-inch pots till the end of May or June and then plant them on the bench, or, better still, beds, and now is not the cold frame a great essential in this case? It is the o'nly place for them. William Scott. GIANT ANTIRRHINUM. The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of some remarkable snap- dragons grown by John Breitmeyer's Sons at Mt.

They are cutting about 150 a day, some of them four feet long with the flowers proportionately large and covering fully a foot of the stem. Philip Breitmeyer says that at retail they readily bring $3 to $4 a dozen. ROSES. Seasonable Reminders. With warm weather and increased in- tensity of sunshine, young stock will require more attention and care. They should be carefully guarded against any approach to becoming pot bound and, as planting time is also approaching, due calculation should be made to do the potting so that the roots will be at the right stage at benching time. Plants to be in proper planting condition should be at least three weeks in the last shift. This prevents the disastrous effects of having the balls go to pieces during the planting process. Watering and syringing must be strict- ly and frequently attended to, so as to prevent the tender roots from being in- jured by the strong sunshine. It is rare to find a house in which there are no defects in the glass, and these are certain to cause blistering of the tender leaves if not attended to. These defects should be located as early in the season as possible, as burns caused by them have a very debilitating effect. Select a bright day when the burning spots can be most easily detected, and touch them with either a solution of alum or very thin white lead and oil. It does not require a big splotch of paint, which is very unsightly, to remedy these defects. Beauty foliage, even on the old plants is very liable to become blotched and as the most valuable leaves are above the Mue of sight, much damage may be done before it is noticed if a careful inspec- tion is not practiced. Preparations for planting should now be made by getting the soil into the proper condition and having all tools, etc., in good order. The work of that busy season will be greatly expedited by having all supplies, such as lumber, nails and all other necessaries, in stock and in their proper place, so that no time may be wasted in getting the benches repaired, filled and planted. ElBES. WALSH'S ROSES. One of the accompanying reproductions from photographs shows a portion of the magnificent group of Rambler roses staged at the recent spring exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety in Boston by M. H. Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass., the other a well bloomed plant of the variety Lady Gay. The latter is a seedling from Crimson Ram- bler and is of a delicate cherry pink color, foliage glossy and deep green. All the varieties shown in this remarkable group were of Mr. Walsh's own raising and attest his wonderful kill as a rose hybridizer. We hope Mr. Walsh may be able to put up a similar group in 1905, when the American Rose Society comes to Boston. Some of the varieties shown will be very popular as Easter plants when better known. In the way of foliage they are mostly superior to Crimson Ram- bler. 'W. N. Craig. SeedUng Rambler Rose Lady Gay, Raised by M. H. Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass. POT GROWN CHRYSANTHEMUMS. [An essay by George B. Windier, read before tbe St. Louis Florists' Club, April 14, 1904.] When I took upon myself the task of writing an essay on pot grown chry- santhemums I knew that there are men in our club who are more able to do so than I am. I also knew that some will think my effort is of little value; never- theless I felt at that time, and I feel that way now, that every member of an organization or club like ours should endeavor to do something along these lines to bring on discussion and in that way exchange ideas. That, in my opin- ion, is what we are organized for. If the ideas of an essayist are faulty or not practical, then the members, who, by ex- perience or some other channel, know bet- ter, should criticise and criticise freely. That is what brings life into our meet- ings. As we grow chrysanthemums in pots, naturally we have no bench plants to take cuttings from. We keep a few pot plants, as many as we need, of each variety for stock. These are cut down to the ground and the young sprouts that appear by this time are cleaned off, that is, all bad leaves are removed. Then they are put into a house with a tem- perature of about 50 degrees Fahrenheit. By January we have a crop of cuttings to take off, which we usually dip into tobacco water to kill those little black bugs which every chrysanthemum grower knows. Root them in clean sand with a tem- perature of about 60 degrees. This first batch of cuttings is the best one to grow in pots all summer, if you grow them that way. When rooted start them in 2-inch pots in about the same tempera- ture. When they are well established you can place them in a cold frame. From then on, shift and pinch out as they need it. As soon as all danger of frost is past, plunge them out into the open ground. Have them in their flower- ing pots by the first of August. On about this date they should also be pinched the last time. Keep them growing there until the buds show, then remove them to the greenhouse. Plants grown in this way are handled much easier, as far as sup- ports are concerned, than those grown in the field. A plant in a 6-inch pot grown this way can be supported with four canes (bamboo canes we use) en- circled with silkaUne very nicely; where- as with field grown plants you will need a cane for nearly every flower stem to get the plant into a symmetrical shape. Disbud as soon as you can handle the buds. Plenty of water, good ventilation and a light house are essential to the growing of good pot plant chrysanthe- mums. After their buds show, liquid feeding about every ten days is beneficial. On most varieties you must discontinue feeding when they show color. For chrysanthemums grown in the field for pot plants the young stock is handled practically the same way as those grown in pots all summer; the one dif- ference is that you can take a very young or small plant at planting-out time, so long as it is healthy, and still get quite a large plant by the time you want to lift them, which should be done no later than September 1. Keep the soil in the field well pul- verized by cultivating frequently and pinch back as they need it until the be- ginning of August. When lifted they should be shaded until root action be- Aphii, 21. 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review. nsi Wonderful Group of Rambler Roses Exhibited by M. H. Walsh, Woods Hole, Mas?., at the Boston Spring Show. gins anew. And this is the time when they trouble one most; if you don't water enough they will wilt; if you water them too much they will get sic-k roots, and in either case they will lose their lower leaves. Keep a close watch on them when they undergo the change from field to pot. CARNATION NOTES. WEST. We have been ready to begin plant- ing in the field for a .couple of weeks already, but it seems to be very slow in warming up. During the past week we have had as much as ten degrees of frost and very few nights without some frost. While these conditions prevail there is no need of beginning to plai.'t out unless your stock has been hardened off extra well, which in most instances, we do not find to be the case. Most growers grow their young stock in the same houses with the blooming plants, and the young plants are at this time in n good growing condition and hardly in shape to stand six or eight degrees of frost. T would rather wait a week longer and not have my plants exposed to any such dangers. If you are afraid that you will be late in finishing, you can very easily put a few extra hands to help on the job when you do begin. It is a job that should be done as quickly as possible anyway, so use every available man. A little system will help to facili- tate matters, if you have several men and boys helping on the job. For in- stance, detail a man and one or more boys to dump the young plants out of the pots as fast as they are needed. The man should be thoroughly familiar with your stock, as you may have two or three batches of one variety, and, of course, you want to plant all of a kind together as far as possible. This man will know that if a batch is a little dry they should have a good watering, so they will not only come out of the pots easier, but they will not dry out so quickly while being planted. Don 't have them standing out in the sun too long before planting, but rather keep them in the shed after knocking them out of the pots and take them out as they are needed. Have a boy to each planter to drop the plants for him, and see that he does not get too far ahead of him. He can stay just far enough ahead of the planter so that the planter will not have to wait for him while he changes his empty box for a full one, brought to him by another boy who wheels them out as they are needed. We use a line to plant by and use a trowel in planting. There are many advantages in using a trowel, and, in fact, we think it is almost impossible to do good planting without a trowel. If your soil is extra well pulverized and quite mellow you can perhaps dispense with it, but we find that while in some spots the soil will be fine and mellow, in other spots it will be lumpy or per- haps the horse trod just where the plant should be set. Then again, if the day IS warm and the plowing was done a few days previous, the soil at the sur- face will be i|uite dry and with a trowel with a few jerks you can bring enough nice, moist soil to the surface to set the plant in. After setting the plant in and pressing the soil around it, be sure and cover the firmed soil with a half- inch of fine, loose soil. This will pre- vent evaporation and baking of the soil. For the same reason each evening you should go over what was planted that day with the cultivator between the rows. These hints apply equally well whether you plant in beds or just in rows across the field. We plant in rows one after another until we' reach the other side of the lot. The plants are set about eight to ten inches apart in the row and the rows are set from iifteen to eighteen inches apart. We like this way for many reasons, too numerous to mention, but under certain conditions the bed method may have some advantages; particularly in a wet season and on clayey soil where the water does not soak away readily. Be sure you use good sized labels to mark the varieties. The loss of a label may mean a big loss to you some- times, especially if you are not a carna- tion expert and able to tell at a glance what a variety is without looking at the label. Some men have this faculty developed to a wonderful degree, while others are good growers but unable to see the distinguishing marks of the dif- ferent varieties unless they see a bloom. The seedling raiser knows how to ap- preciate this advice. Don't plant out any plants that are not in good condition, especially of the standard varieties. A poor, diseased plant will stand a poor show of making a first-class plant that will produce prize-winning blooms. One may be ex- cused if he has some plants of a novelty that are not strictly first-class. Most of the novelties have behaved well so far, but one variety is so covered with rust that it will be a wonder if they make good plants by August. One other has shown a tendency toward stem-rotting, but we hope to los? no more, now that we know it must be guarded against. If you have some in the sand yet, don't plant them from the sand to the field, but pot them into small pots and leave them to be planted last. Two or three weeks in pots will do them lots of good and they will suffer less when planted out. Of course, your main stock is well established in pots by this time, but you may have a few late cuttings of a seedling or a variety you bought last vear, of which you want all you can get. A. F. J.

The window displays were changed daily dur- ing the wc^k and were a great advertise- ment, attracting much attention from the passers-by.

Austin Sliaw. read beforo the Xew York Florists' Club. April 11.] The honor of reading a paper on any subject before the New York Fieri sts' CUib is oue tliat carmot fail to win the appieeiatiou of tlie fortunate nieinbc- se- lected. The unliappy juit^sibility of ina- bility to write a paper that will keep the meuibers awake or hold them in iheic seats is, however, a serious consideration. If you add to this the fact that oue^s subject is selected for him, and his time is limited, and he writes under the watch- ful dictatorship of your honorable com- mittee, you will realize how T approach the responsibility with fear and trem- bling. If I had been permitted to choose my own text I think I could have given you a more interesting discourse on. say, *' * The experiences of a horticultural drummer within aud beyond the Koeky ■Mountains, " or " The retail nursery business aud the modern method of sell- ing through ageuts, that in the last thirty years has made this country bud and blossom as the rose,*' or, more interest- ing still, *'How a tlorist secured perfect health and a renewal of his youth by fasting and made doctors and sickness unnecessary evils. ' ' On these and a few other themes 1 could have given you the results of per- sonal experiences that would have pro- vided food for afterthought but the president and his lieuteuauts were unap- l>roachable; they would not even allow me to read from my book of unpublished and unpublishable poems. And so T ac- cepted the inevitable and you will have tn make the best of what I have learned, and experienced, and think of ' ' Easter Business in New York." Y'ou will ob- serve I am not handicapped by the men- tion of any year, though I imagine your committee intended to confine me to 1904. Fortunately for me this omission widened my legitimate scope and gave me a field thirty or forty years wide in which to roam. A word or two concerning Easter itself mav not prove uninteresting here. As you all r. -member, the (X)ntroversy as to the prop<-r time to relebrnte the festival began souio 1.70i> Tears ago. The eastern and western ehurrhes disagreeil. It took centuries to set- tle the matter. If the New^ York Club had been umpire we would have bad it every Sun- day for about nine months and rested the other three, or else have cut it out altogether. However, it's too late to butt in now. The eastern Christians celebrated oh the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month and the western Azalea Window of Scott Floral Co., Denver, Colo., at Easter. i-hurches on the Sunday after the fourteenth day. Religious controversy was just as live- ly in those days as now, though on a smaller scale. It was just 322 years ago that a def- inite conclusion waa arrived at, a moveable Easter decided upon, and always a Sunday after March 21. Never cau it arrive after April 25. but it will be celebrated at that late date in 1943 and there is no good reason why some of us here should not live to par- ticipate in its wonderful development. If time permitted I would love to tell you of Easter, 1943. Perhaps the club may request me to read a paper on that occasion. Who can tell? Some of us will be here aul all of us will be somewhere. It is not the astronomical moon, but an imaginary oue that regulates the time of Eas- ter's advent. The calendar new moon follows the real one sometimes two or three days. Easter is always the first Sunday after the paschal full moon which happens on or nest after March 21. If the full moon happens on a Sunday, then Easter is the Sunday after. If these data overwhelm you, the commis- sary department will gladly see that you are in the same condition as the moon. The ar- rangement as to the calendar moon waa made so that the Jewish Passover and* Easter might fall on different days. Occasionally they of necessity get togettier. This was the case In 1903 and will again be in 1923. But that ueedn't worry us. What interest.s you is tn know that Easter will never be as early as March 22 in this century and that nest year it arrives on a very late train. April 23. Easter is, after all, the celebration of the reawakening of nature, the season of the world's rejoicing. Long before the Christian era the old world had set aside a day to cele- brate the beginning of the year's productive- ness. Easter is the original name, a name giveu In honor of the pagan goddess, called by the Teutons Ostara and by the Anglo Saxons Eastre, a personification of returning life and light. The adoption of the egg. thu symbol of new life, also antedates the Chrls- t'iau era. So through all the ages Easter has marked the annual resurrection of nature. To those of the Christian faith it is especially significant. To all of us this year it has been particularly welcome. From our standpoint, long juay it continue a great church festival, en- hanced in its celebration and its beauty more and more by the products of our profession. Some of you remember Easter in New York nearly forty years ago. Then Wednesday was the all-important day of the week in prepara- tion for Holy Thursday, the great day of the Catholic church, which at that time was the principal if not the only celebrant, especial- ly in the use of plants, the Episcopal churrh using none and no floral celebration of any kind being used by any of the other religioiia denominations. The plants in those days were stock gillys. Deutzta gracilis. Spiraea japonica, pyrethrnni I white feather), the hardy Azalea Fielder's White, Azalea alba and Narcissiflora, the lat- ter still occasionally seen. Those were tin- days when the calla lily reigned supreme, their value 30 cents to 40 cents a flower, and $1 to $3 a plant. For Easter Sunday th«' flat bouquets were made on frames In the old style, as some of you can recall, and with these the altars were decorated. There were few roses In those days. The only largt- flower was the camellia. Lycopodlum was the background for the bouquets. There were few- palms. Caryota urens. the fishtail; the chani- aerops and a few latanias. Large crosses, an- chors, harps and similar designs aided in the church decorations. In those days Henry Siebrecht began his Easter experiences In New Y'ork and Alex McConnell grew Neapolitan violets, double pink camellias. Safrano and Isabella Sprunt roses. To these gentlemen 1 am indebted for many reliable reminiscences of the long ago. Leach, of Astoria, was thi- king grower of that time, his list Includin;: smilax. stock gillys, callas, deutzias and swett alyssum. ■ It was not until the early 'SOs that the long- stemmed flowers arrived; then appeared LlUuin Harrisii. Imported azaleas were next in evi- dence, followed by rhododendrons, metrosideros etc. Cut flowers became a factor about ISTn. the red carnation.

Only during the last fifteen years has thf plant trade been an Important part of tin- Kaster busine.ss. The Increase has been grad- ual, enrh year being better than the last, ur- til now it is high tide, a condition which abundant spare and perfect system will per- petuate. As one prominent retailer expresses it: "There are endless pTOwers' interests, your promptness, your generosity, your frequent sacrifice of self that those who entrust their welfare to your care may l>e content. And I believe you are appreciated more and more as vour value and necessity are realized. Time seems to be with you an after con- sideration. I never hear you complain of long hours and I have seen you hustling often through the livcloiig night. Where would the retail florist business be without you? A piginy gasping for existence! In such a city as ours your value, youi' power, your necessitv "■■ dovetailed into the growing and retail- ing departments of the trade so thor- oughly, so harmoniously that you are a fixture as long as plants grow and flow- ers bloom. And you deserve to be; we cannot do without you. And you retailers. Wliat does Easter in New York mean to you, for you have my especial sympathy more than any other branch of floriculture. I know of vour early rising, your lack of rest and sleep, your twenty-four-hour experiences, your conflict with the fickle public, the risks you have to run in purchasing and trusting, the lack of facilities for ex- traordinary occasions, and the danger of catastrophe when, after placing your en- tire possessions on the turn of the cli- matic wheel, one little vagary of the skies may sweep them and yourselves into oblivion." You deserve, as President Traendly would express it, "all that's -oniing 'to you, ' ' and this year you got it. After all you are the balance wheel of the whole" combination. Where would the wholesaler and the grower be with- out you? Your beautiful stores are the pride of the city and the finest in the world. You display the wares of the growers and the distributions of the wholesalers so artistically that you are irresistible. Yours are the real risks and outlays in rentals and decorations that comniend your enterprise and bravery and faith to all. You have created and made enduringly possible an Easter in New York. Yours has been the skill that has developed decorative art, in rib- bon, and basket, and hamper, in harmony of color, in qualitv of design and per- fect blending of variety, until now the whole country looks to New York for new conceptions in ornamentation and novelties in plant and flower arrange- ment. And so Easter of 1904 is de- servedly your banner Easter and none congratulate you more heartily than the wholesalers and the growers who made 1154 The Weekly Florists' Review. April 21, 1904. your prosperity possible. May the trin- ity of interests grow more and more into helpful fellowship. To enumerate the varieties of plants and flowers used in New York this Easter or to tell you of the values realized would hardly interest you after the full and generous criticisms and particulars so thoroughly covered by the trade papers and to which I respectfully refer you. What concerns us most are the lessons taught us all by the Easter in New York in 1904. These are far reaching in their value. It is the Easter of 1905, the late Easter, that must be planned for now. To the cut flower growers no advice is necessary. You know especially it will be late for violets ; otherwise yours is the beaten track, with the consciousness that the public is a lover of meritorious novelties, and remember that several new roses and carnations are knocking at your doors, and many of them with no uncer- tain sound. The plantsmen have perhaps gathered some useful hints, though where every- thing goes it is hard to be too practical. However, thev have learned that the largest azaleas are not as salable as formerly; that the medium sizes and the brightest colors are wanted and the beau- tiful little Holland and Japanese va- rieties were in extraordinary demand. They realize, too, that the Easter lily's popularity is eternal and that in pot. and basket, and tub, well-grown, there can never be an oversupply. They have found a splendid novelty in Hydrangea hortensis rosea and in the new rose. Madame Norbert Levavas^eur, which thev have judiciously christened the dwarf Crimson Eambler. Wo find, too, that the azalea pyramidally grown finds favor, and that our old friend, the camellia, is demonstrating the faith in reincarna- tion or resurrection which some of us have not abandoned. The wholesaler had not much to learn ; simply that his protests against pickled goods had borne fruit and that his ad- monitions as to the wisdom of expecting fair and not abnormal prices at Easter had opened the eyes of the growers to the fact that the age of unreasonableness and the patience of the great public, without whose patronage this whole build- ing would dissolve ' ' like the baseless fabric of a vision, ' ' have reached their limit and that never again will exorbi- tant values prevail. The retailer has gathered wisdom, too, from the phenomenal Easter, as well as an abundance of the one thing needful, and after such a winter none of ns can fail to extend honest cnngratulatinii. He has learned the value of originality in window decoration, the danger of neg- lect or lack of artistic effort, the reward of abundant service and perfect system and, above all else, the benefit of rea- sonable prices and fair profits. He has realized as never before his interests arc interwoven with those of the wholesaler and grower, how dependent he is upon both for the supplies that make possi- ble his own success and how advantage- ous it is to maintain with both a repu- tation for prompt and full settlement of honest obligations. Time forbids, though other interests de- serve consideration in this glance at Easter in New Yrrk. The supnly men are no unimportant part of it; the green goods section spreads its influence in every mart. The novelties and necessi- ties handled by these great lieutenants of prosperity would fill a volume. Let us hope this is the beginning of the golden age for all of us that makes har- mony universal and brotherly confidence and hand grasp inspirational and ever green and sweet the memory of this Easter in New York!

There are in all sections of the country hundreds of thriving towns where the florists are doing a prosperous business in bedding stock, but. in which the peo- ple are dependent on the tree peddler and their own ability as planters for their shade trees, shrubs, fruit trees, etc. And even in the places where there are large and well stocked nurseries it is quite the usual thing to consult the florist who plants the geraniums and cannas on the lawn, about the shrubs to go in the bor- der by the fence, the vines to screen the barn or the trees to plant around the William A. Peterson. church that 's building on the corner. Thus it has come about that an increas- ing number of florists are each year do- ing something with nursery stock and finding that it can be made a highly profitable department of the business. One advantage of the nursery depart- ment is that the planting can be done early in the spring, before it is safe to plant out tender stock and when there is no pressure of other work. And again in the fall there is a period during which nearly all of the most salable things in the line of trees and shrubs may be plantecl, as well as many herbaceous plants, notably peonies. In fact, the fall season is often the best of the two for the florist who does this class of work, for he can book his orders during spring, summer anel early autumn, while the spe- cimens on his own grounds and about town are at their best; then in the fall he gets his oreler filled by some reliable nurseryman and, on its arrival, heels the stock in for the few days which may elapse before it is convenient to plant. 1 f the careful planter bilys ' his stock from some reliable nursery, where it has been regularly transplanted, so as to be- come furnished with good balls of fib- rous roots, all but a few unusually elif- ficult things may be guaranteed to live, particularJy if the seller is so located that he can keep a watchful eye open to see that the stock gets proper care as to watering, etc. Guaranteeing the stock to live inspires confidence, leads to bet- ter prices and makes it easy to get or- ders. There are a great many nursery cata- logues that wilt be of assistance to the florist who deals in trees and shrubs, but there are few which he can use to better advantage than the Manual of Beautiful Grounds just issued by the Peterson Nursery, 170 La Salle street, Chicago. This book, while designed for free distribution and to bring business to the nursery, contains no prices, these being printed in a separate pamphlet, so that the Manual can be shown to a florist's customers without elivulgiug the cost of the specimen at the nursery, which naturally is a good deal less than one is justified in charging for it plant- ed and guaranteed to live for a year. The Manual of Beautiful Grounds is commendable as a piece of beautiful printing, beautifuUy bound. It was ob- viously prepared for elistribution among a class of eliseriminating buyers. It is as little like an advertisement as any catalogue can be. As a matter of fact the name of Peterson appears on only three or four of its eighty pages. The concern does not cater to the mailing trade; as is stated in the Manual, they do not deal in "microscopic specimens; " their specialty is stock in extra heavy sizes, which can be moved without any material setback, and give immediate efl'ect. The first few pages of the Manual are given over to general information, cul- tural suggestions and suggestions on landscape work and tree planting drawn from Wm. A. Peterson's own extensive experience. The balance of the work is a descriptive list of recommended va- rieties, including trees, shrubs, vines, hardy herbaceous stock, etc., illustrated with more -uan eighty halftones, most of them reproduced from photographs taken at the nursery. The descriptions are brief but complete, popular rather than botanical and contain none of that lauda- tion of his wares which the catalogue maker often feels to be essential. But probably in no other feature of his very handsome books does the pub- lisher take so much pride as in his nomenclature. The popular name is given in black-faced type, followed by the botanical name in italics, the latter aecoreling to the Index Kewensis. Mr. Peterson is a student as well as a busi- ness man anei finds it both a pleasure and a source of profit to have his stock tiiie to name, and that the right name. In the absence of any universally recog- nized American authority he has adopted the Index Kewensis, acknowledged as an authoritative botanical list by all the botanical world. Peonies are one of t..e , leading spe- cialties at the Peterson Nursery, the col- lection rrumbering probably more varie- ties than any other in the United States, f(u- everything is tested and proved. It is in ; this line that the nursery does its )>riucipal business with florists. A peony list is published in June but the Manual contains a list of recommended sorts as follows: .

Mr. Scott offers some excellent sug- gestions in the Review for April 14, about pruning shrubs when transplant- ing, and I would even cut back more severely than he recommends in some cases, but his remark that early spring transplanting of evergreens is wrong, is not applicable to our more southern lati- tude and under our hotter sunshine. If we could be sure of plenty of moisture, both in the soil and in the atmosphere, for a month after setting them, it might be all right ana, as a matter of fact, if we could move them in a damp, cloudy day in August and have a week or more of wet weather follow, it would be the ideal lime, but we are very liable to have several weeks of drought in late spring and early summer and when this occurs, late planted evergreens are pret- ty sure to suffer, if they do not collapse entirely. There is another point which I be- lieve is not generally understood. It is now generally recommended to remove all the leaves from Ilex opaca when trans- planted from its wild state and my ex- perience leads me to the conclusion that the same treatment is equally beneficial to all broad-leaved evergreens, at least unless they have balls of earth and, al- though as good an authority as Joseph Meehan claims that coniferous ever- greens do better if a portion of the foli- age is allowed to remain when trans- planted, I would much sooner take the chances with all of it removed than with all left on and I would, at least, cut them back very severely. There is one important difference, also, in the care of newly transplanted stuff between evergreens and deciduous shrubs or trees. When drought gets very severe, we are admonished by the droop- ing foliage of deciduous plants that they are suffering and must have water, but after the new growth of an evergreen gets hardened the first notice we get that they are suffering is by the falling off of leaves, and it is then too late to save them. They must be carefully watched in dry weather to see if the soil around them is getting dry. We once planted several large hemlocks for a customer and cautioned him very thor- oughly about watering, etc., and he got them started and growing fineh', but a late summer drought came and he was not on guard and lost them all. Wm. F, Bassett. Hammondton, N. J. CACTUS DAHLL\S. The improvement in varieties of this charming class of dahlias has made a great difference in the popularity of the flower. Those who are giving attention to the raising of seedlings believe that perfection is not by any means yet reached; and that the possibilities in store are such that the cactus forms are likely to secure even greater esteem among the flower-loving public. It is pleasing to note that those who award certificates to new varieties are not led away by mere size. Perfection in form is "quite the leading point. Only a few years back the better sorts had flat central florets. In the newer kinds, George Gor- don and H. W. SiUem, for example, those in the center of the bloom are narrow and reflexed at the edges in the same manner as the rest. Stiffness of flower stem, too, is one of the principal qualities raisers think of. The past two seasons in England have not been favorable to the proper develop- ment of dahlias, and cactus varieties have not been so double in form gener- allv as they will be when we have a 1156 The Weekly Florist?' Review* APKIL 21. 1904. normal siinimei- and autumn. But stil', there are few subjects in the outsiue garden that give a lengthier or a brigliter display. I would like to see growers give, as a rule, a little more attention to the cultural needs of their cactus dah- lias. It appears to nie that gardeners generally are behind the exhibitor in tlii^ matter. For instance, one could wish that the same caie be takeu in propa- gating young stock, and in growing thera on under glass into nice sturdy i)lants, well rooted in (i-ineh, or even larger, pots, by planting-out time, in the same wav that we find chrysanthemums maa- aged in their early stages. The results would be more encouraging. Instead of this, we too often find the old roots of dahlias stored away under the benches, brought out in spring, cut into pieces, planted, and the same process followed year after year. Cactus dahlias like plenty of room when growing. It is well not to have a plant closer than four fett to its neighbor. A soil deeply dug, and well worked, suits them bettor than one rich in manures. The latter has a ten- dency to produce too much leaf. But tion. Disbudding the blooms of cactus dahlias may readily be overdone. In the case of most sorts this means of gain- ing nicely-shaped flowers will defeat our oliject, and instead we obtain blooms witli faulty centers. In the matter of the best buds, I have especially noticed this. The buds, as a rule, are thrown up in threes. Now, the central one, which looks like giving the finer bloom, usually finishes inferior to the side ones in form, as will as in the stiifness and length of the stems. And, again, it is important that the growing shoots im- mediately under the flower buds be re- moved, because if left they will gro\v faster than the buds, and smother them. I would, however, leave the lower shoots. These advance eventually, and continue the display of flowers. Improved varieties of cactus dahlias are being produced so rajiidly that it is rare any one lasts longer than three or four years, tliat is if we have a desire to cultivate the best. It may be well to first name the certificated varieties of the past year, because it is certain there are among them some very choice things. CeM-tificates at other than the real dahlia Alocasia lUustris. manures placed on the suiface in sum- mer time, .when the flower buds are swelling, are not easily overdone. A good foundation to a well-grown plant ''should be made by thinning the groAvth when young.

Among the highest authorities there is some confusion whether this most orna- mental plant is an aloca.sia or colocasia. Alocasias, colocasias and caladiums are closely allied. The difference is some slight variation in the flower or fruit character. Broadly, we would say that the alocasias are evergreen and the colo- casias herbaceous. We all know the beautiful fancy-leaveel caladiums that are herbaceous. More familiar still is the so-called Caladiiun esculentum. which is not a caladium but a eoloi and familiar to all lovers of plants is Alocasia cuprea (metallica).' The above are types of these three closely allied genera. Nicholson classes illustris as an alocasia, so let it go at that. During the Pan-Ameiican j'ear a cir- cular bed of this most ornamental plant could be seen in front of the park super- intendent 's residence, on Elmwood ave- nue, Buffalo, where thousands traveled to the show. The illustration will give a better idea of its form than any de- scription. The color of the leaves is a rich dark gieen, with olive black spots or patches, but no description can give an adequate idea of the subdued but rich coloring. It is herbaceous. As soon as the frost has injured the foliage, the rhizomes, for they are more that than tubers, should be lifted and laid out on some elry, warm bench till the leaves have dried up. Then they should be stored away in dry sand in some position where drip cannot reach and where the temperature does not go below .50 degrees at any time. They are by no means as easy to winter as Cala- dium esculentum and should be occasicn- ally examined and if, in January or later, they are showing signs of decay, it is better to start them growing at once. When starting them into growth is the time to increase your stock. A piece of the root with a dormant bud can be started in a flat of three inches of sand and when growth has progressed put into suitable sized pot, or you can pot the roots at once into light, sandy soil, but in eitlier case a gentle bottom heat is necessary. They should not be planted out if useel for siib-tropical gardening, till settled warm weather, for they are a tropical plant. A rich, friable, well drained soil with plenty of water is what they want during our warm, dry months. As a sub- tropical bedding plant, I know no rival to the beautiful Alocasia illustris. William Scott. PANDANUS AS A TABLE PLANT. In Pandanus Veitchii we have an ideal plant for table work, that is, if properly colored leaves are to be had. I would deviate from the usual method of propa- gating this, which is generally in a close and warm case in the stove. First, ob- tain good-colored offsets or suckers;, in- sert these in thumb-pots of sand, and place on a shelf in the stove house. You will find that the general routine of the stove will afford sufficient moisture for AriuL :;i. I'jii4. The Weekly Florists' Review. JJ57 Field of Lilium Harrisii at the Establishment of Chas. A. V. Frith, Bermuda. Photographed April 4, 1904. the suckers till rooted. These may be potted on in a sandy eompost, keeping the plants well elevated to combat against damp; 5^,o-inch pots are large enough for table plants, confining some to small pots to correspond with your centre plant. Pandanuses revel in abundance of water in summer, but in being almost dry at the root and overhead in winter. To propagate pandanus in a close and liuniid atmosphere you will soon find out that the leaves assiune a green appear- ance, and the cultivator will liavo diffi- culty to recover the much desired white and green-striped leaves. The plants be- come too large for table work iDgfore the color is obtained. In table plants al- ways endeavor to procure good-colored cuttings to start with, as plants soon pass the stage for dinner-taljle work. — Gardening World. CHICAGO. The Market. Business has shown some impi-ovement in the course of Jhe last week but it has been almost wholly on shipping trade, the local retailers reporting the condi- tions as no more encouraging than at any time since Easter. Prices have stiffened slightly, the change being more pronounced on carnations than on roses. ■There are still ample supplies of carna- tions for all requirements but the mar- ket is cleaning up better each day and the sacrifices which were necessary last week are no longer called for. Quality continues good and reports from the growers are generally to the effect that they have large crops in sight. The weatlifr has been very unseasonably cold and this has served to hold the crops off for a time. Beauties are not in so large supply as in the last two weeks and quality is a little off, considering the season. There are, however, largt receipts of Brides and ilaids in which tlio quality is all that could be asked and cheap rates are still quoted to the buyer in quantity. Lib- ertj' is coming in mote hea\'ily, and of varying quality, but a large proportion of receipts are short-stemmed. The quantity of Easter lilies now in the market is something surprising. They are to be had literally by the thousands and prices are very low. Callas are only a little less numerous and equally slow- sale. Tulips and daffodils are almost out of the market. The indoor stock is nearly all disposed of and the backward- ness of the season has resulted in retard- ing the outdoor crop. The receipts of violets are growing lighter each day and quality is deteriorating rapidly; the prices, of course, are low. In "green goods" smilax continues to grow more scarce, but there are adequate supplies of asparagus. Prices on common ferns have been advanced 50 cents per l.OUU this week. Various Notes. C. A. Samuelson is getting remark- ably fine sweet peas from Aug. Von Boeselager, Mt. Clemens, Mich. Bassett & Washburn are getting the fiist cut from their big house of sum- mer roses. Wietor Bros, are also cut- ting in their houses of La France and Kaiserin. One of the week 's visitors was Mr. Lit- tig, representing Chas. Dannaeher, Dav- enport. Iowa. A. L. Randall is spending the week at his estate near Benton Harbor. Frank Garland and il. Winanely are now nicely located in their new quarters adjoining the Eeinbergs ' in the Atlas block. E. F. Winterson Co. is receiving very heavy shipments of jonquils from the south. Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving regu- lar shipments of Lilium candidum, but K. E. Pieser says tliat with Easter lilies ^ plentiful and cheap they are not badly neecled. Emil Buettner is cutting very fine Morning Glory carnations aneT the A. L. Kandall Co. says they are much more useful than Enchantress or Higinbotham for sliipment to New Orleans and other distant points. Mr. Buettner has had very fine success with his white lilac tliis season. Albert Amling will tear down a part of his old range this spring, rebuild it and also add several new houses, prac- tically doubling the extent of his estab- lishment. The Moninger Co. will sup- pl.v all the material. Nearly all the ad- ditional space will be given to green goods, smilax and asparagus, which has been his specialty this year. John Miller, north of town, has had a very good season. He grows nothing but carnations ancl his varieties are those recommended for quantitv, but he gets pretty fair qualitv at the same time. He is figuring that he may considerably en- large his plant next year. A. Dietseh is at Mobile. Ala., where he will remain until about June 1. His health is considerably improved. C. G. Samuel is running the Wells street store formerly conducted by Benj. Blameuser. There was a small fire April 13 in the building on Clybonru avenue occupied in part by the Kaemper Flower store. Weber Bros, have planted the house vacated by the lilies with year-old plants of ileteor which had been stored out- side all winter and which came out in fine shape. The new Weber establish- ment will be rushed to completion at once and planted to Beauties, reqmring about 8,000 plants. .Tohn Mangel has leased the floor above his store at Monroe street and Wabash 1158 The Weekly Florists' Review* Apkil 21. 1904. avemie and connected the two by an inside stairway. ,.,.,, „,.t J.

Hunt savs- "Weather conditions no doubt are having an effect on trade, especially here in town, and some of our friends are not wearing the smile which would not -come off directly after Easter." Bassett & Washburn took in 229 ears of coal from December 1 to April 1. NEW ORLEANS. Horticultural Society Outing. At its last meeting, on a Sunday, the New Orleans Horticultural Society was the guest of Mr. Alost, at his nursery on the GentiUy road. The members met at Elysian Fields depot at 2 o'clock p. m. and took the train to Gentilly Sta- tion, where Mr. Alost was in waiting with three wagons to drive his visitors to his beautiful country home, arriv- ing there at 3:30 o'clock. The absence of the president, Joseph Steckler, was the only disappointment of the day, he sending his regrets that it was impos- sible for him to be present, owing to the serious illness of his Uttle son. Mr. Steckler sent his team with liquid re- freshments, which proved to be a very welcome article. At 5 o'clock p. m. Mr. Alost rang his old plantation dinner bell, and each visitor took a chair at the table, laden with a most bountiful re- past. After eating two hours, speeches were in order. Mr. Panter acted as toast- master. J. Eblen was the first gentle- man called upon. Others who spoke were Mr. Valdejo, P. Abele and J. A. New- sham. Dan Newsham was called upon to give an account of his trip to St. Louis, he just having returned from a three weeks' stay in that city. He stated that the florists of New Orleans will feel proud when they see their plants and note how they rank with others. A beautiful space has been se- lected in the conservatory for them. Mr. Newsham expects to leave soon with two carloads of plants. The following have sent plants for the state exhibit: U. J. Virgin, J. Steckler Seed Company, Limited; J. Eblen, E. Valdejo, Abele Bros.. J. St. Mard, C. Eble, H. Eehm, E. Zbinden, Quinette Bros., A. Com- mander and Audubon Park Association. After the address of Mr. Newsham Mr. Panter thanked Mr. Alost and his family for courtesies extended the mem- bers of the society, and moved that three cheers be given them, which was done in a hearty manner. Afterward, the visit- ors rambled over the farm and through the nurseries of Mr. Alost, and later as- sembled on the gallery and enjoyed fine violin music by Mr. Lapouyade and P. Chopin. NEW YORK. The Market. The market conditions were anything but encouraging up to Saturday of last week and prices were as low as to sug- gest dreams of "mid-summer nights," tliough the weather contradicted the il- lusion. In fact, one of the first signs of next winter, a veritable snow storm, raged when our eyes opened on Thursday morning. The chilling blasts continue and early birds and worms and spring planting are yet out of the question. Summer will be here on the lightning express when it comes, and 1904 looks now like "the year without a spring." The cold spell or something gave a tem- porary boost to prices on Saturday. Everything advanced a little and to- wards evening the best things were at a premium. Monday showed continued improvement. Better prices prevailed, and stock was cleared to good advantage, the demand taking everything of value. Beauties touched 30 cents for the best and Brides and Maids S cents, while special violets readily brought 50 cents per hundred. -All these quotations are, however, for the highest grade. But warmer weather and larger shipments may make the present week a fit com- panion for the last before it ends. Violets are in the sere and yellow leaf; quality and quantity both are deteriorat- ing and soon they will be but a mem- ory. Even the street merchants have turned to roses and trailing arbutus. Lily of the valley is doing better, but lilies have dropped to the lowest rates of tho season, the finest seldom going above $3 per hundred. The belated flowers are opening in multitudes and there seems no end to the supply. Weddings are increasing and should begin to show a beneficial effect upon the general trade. The Twombley wed- ding last week was the largest of the year to date. Mr. Humphrey says it "was one of the most beautiful he ever superintended. Lilies and American Beauties were the principal flowers, and large quantities of Crimson Ramblers. Various Notes. The severe winter has done incal- culable damage in the nurseries and or- chards around New York. In the Hud- son river valley the estimate of loss to the fruit growers alone is over two mil- lions. The effects of the long continued and extreme cold are evident on every hand. In all the nurseries we have vis- ited the dire results are becoming more distressingly evident daily. The attendance at the auctions in- creases weekly. Many new faces are to be seen this season. Prices realized are more encouraging and the promise of a large business brightens. Elliott's sales of hardy roses and evergreens are quite up to the supply arriving. At Cleary's Horticultural Hall the sale of orchids from Sander & Son takes place on Fri- day of this week, comprising cattleyas, laelias, oncidiums, vandas, cypripediums and hybrids. A visit to Freeport last Sunday re- vealed a good reason for James Dean's locating in one of the prettiest locali- ties on Long Island, where honors muni- cipal have been crowding thick upon him. Here, too, Charles Lenker has a growing business, built up during the last seven years, and ten acres of land which he is" devoting to nursery purposes in a favored section on the Brooklyn trolley line, where it grows daily in value. He has three houses 200 feet long devoted to carnations, stocks, sweet peas and bediling plants, lilies, gladioli. Crimson Eambler aud vegetable plants and will build another house 19x117 thi;* season. In the nursery are silver maples, evergreens, peonies, irises, rhododen- drons and shmbs of many varieties. Joseph J. Levy, who has been with Alex Guttman during the last three years, was agreeably surprised after Easter by the presentation of a beauti- ful gold watch from his employer as a memento of faithful service. J. K. Allen has been wrestling for a week at his home with the grippe and is convalescent after quite a severe at- tack of the prevalent indispositiou. William Nilsson, of Woodlawn, whose artistic work at his grounds near the ■ depot has been admired by so many thousands of travelers daUy on the N. Y. & N. H. E. E., is being crowded away from his present location by the building of the viaduct and is remov- ing the greenhouses to Wakefield. Harry May reports his father, John N. May, of Summit, N. J., recovering from his long illness in the sunny south, and now at Pinehurst, N. C, on his way to New York. The Bowling Club's captain is unfor- tunate in having to shoulder the an- xiety caused by a severe accident to his wife, who is in the hospital suf- fering from a dislocated shoulder. This accounts for the scarcity of 200 aver- ages of late on the club's alleys. Julius Kretschmar, uncle of A. H. Langjahr, the wholesale florist, is very ill, having suffered his second stroke of paralysis at his residence in Brooklyn. The Clucas & Boddington Co. has en- gaged Herbert Greensmith, of Eiverton. N. J., to take charge of its nursery de- partment at Sparkill. N. Y., where he has moved with his family. Bowling. The bowling at the club's alleys on Monday evening was excellent, some splendid scores being made and much interest in the contest at St. Louis was manifested, the club being already as- sured of a strong representative team there. Henry Bunyard, who has just returned from a very successful trip for the Clucas & Boddington Co., was an interested visitor. Mr. Bunyard is suffering from the results of a severe attack of the ' grippe and was obliged to shorten his trip on account of ill- ness.

To show what small net returns some grow- ers are getting, we might state that a carnation grower who produces fine flowers stated that his returns for the two weeks after Easter would average about 75 cents per 100. He felt dis- gusted, and we don't wonder at it. Eoses APRIL 21, 1004. The Weekly Florists' Review. U59 are selling very low and the quality gets poorer. Violets are nearing the end. Campbell is still plentiful but is out- classed altogether by Princess of Wales. Various Notes. A few nice Iris Hispanica have been coming in lately and bring good prices. It is singular that this beautiful and inexpensive bulbous plant, so highly prized in Europe, is not more grown here for Easter and Memorial day trade; it is just what is needed. Wallflowers, English primroses, cornilowers, anemones and ranunculus are displayed in a num- ber of the florists ' windows. Vases of Crinum Moorei and Eucharis amazonica in a Boylston street store the past week attracted some attention. The last named in particular is a useful florists' plant and seems to be coming back into favor. One of the leading retailers made a very effective window display the past week by using yellow marguerites and English primroses exclusivelv. Patriots ', or Lexington day, held as a state holiday on April 19, did not quicken the pulses of the flower trade. A good many take advantage of the day to do their customary spring gardening. Peas, potatoes and pansies are in demand. Weather conditions of late have been remarkable for the last half of AprU. On the morning of the loth the tempera- ture fell to 18 degrees near Boston and almost equally low readings were record- ed on one or two other mornings. On April 16 snow fell steadily for eight hours and a maximum day temperature of 37 degrees was more suggestive of February than April. Vegetation is, for- tunately, very backward and no injury has been sustained. The blessings of an early season are not to be desired in New England and our nurserymen and seeds- men find the chilly climatic conditions a great help to them while they are con- gested witli business. N. F. McCarthy & Co. opened the auc- tion season on April 15, with a large stock of hybrid perpetual roses, trees and shrubs. Prices were well up to the average. The second sale occurs on April 22 and the third is scheduled for ^\pril 26. The bulk of the nursery stock is from Holland, but a considerable por- tion is from American growers. Dur- ing May and June this firm will hold auction sales every Tuesday and Friday. Indications point to a lessened amount of gi-eenhouse construction among flor- ists during 1904. This is not surpris- ing, considering heavy coal bills and lower cut flower returns. A considerable amount of building on private estates will take place. Hitchings & Co. have some half dozen contracts already in hand. E. & J. Farquhar & Co. are stocking up heavily with herbaceous perennials at their nurseries in Eoslindale. At their new nurseries in Sharon, trees and shrubs are being largely planted. A good number of special prizes for carnations will be offered at the coming show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, when the C. S. A. meets with it. Important additional special prizes for chrysanthemums are being arranged for and all horticultural societies in New England will be asked to offer special premiums for competition among their members. Philadelphia Eambler rose -was not counted a success by those who tried it for Easter. The color is good, but trusses are verv small and rather of a drooping tendency. It also seems more susceptible to mildew than Crimson Eam- bler. Pink Eamblers lose their color too soon to be accounted acquisitions as pot plants. A lengthy report published in pam- phlet form and finely illustrated, of the committee on school gardens and her- bariums of the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society, has just been issued, edit- ed by the capable chairman, Henry Clapp, one of the founders of the school garden system. The report makes most in- teresting reading and shows what a won- derful work is being done in this sec- tion on these lines to interest the young in plants and flowers. The offer of Col. Charles Pfaff of a fifty-dollar cup for roses at the meeting of the American Eose Society here in 1905, will soon be supplemented by oth- ers. An advance schedule containing all special premiums, as well as the regular prizes offered by the Massachusetts Hor- ticultural Society, will be ready in Au- gust. ' W. N. Craig. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The fluctuation in prices has been a feature of the past week's business. Quotations in the market report, though given with great care, are totally mis- leading. American Beauties were so plentiful at times that hardly any offer was refused on several days last week, but the supply shortened at the close of last week and this week prices have ad- vanced and hold firmly. Callas and Easter lilies are very poor stock, there being no demand for either. Single vio- lets are about over. . Sweet peas are the most popular flowers on the list to-day. great quantities of fine stock being used at the very moderate prices quoted. Daisies, valley, short Beauties and, to a certain extent, fine single daffodils are also in demand. The general tone of the market is unsteady. Death of George Huster. George Huster, gardener in charge of the extensive grounds and greenhouses of Girard College, who died last week, was buried at Holy Cross cemetery last JMonday. The funeral services were held at the home of his nephew, Leonard Euber, florist, 2003 Fairmount avenue. Mr. Huster had done excellent work at Girard College. He always had a fine collection of stove and flowering plants, while his bedding, especially in front of the main hall, was unusually handsome. He was a member of the Florists' Club and went with that .body to many of the S. A. F. conventions. His death will leave a gap hard to fill among the horticulturists of our city. An Afternoon's Rest. Jacob Becker says that a friend can be rebuked severely while an acquaint- ance cannot. Possibly he meant, with safety to the speaker. My friends ex- ercise this privilege. They say, ' ' why, that article about so and so 's place was miserable; you should do much better than that." Possibly, but conditions count for a great deal. The best plants will not thrive without care, nor can the best account of them be written with- out a cordial reception. Suppose after traveling fifteen miles, more or less, you are received bv a horticulturist who won't talk about his pets, but wishes you in Jericho, and shows it. Can you do justice to that man's place? It is certainly very ditficult. But when on the other hand you are •narmly received and shown all that is of interest, it is quite a different thing. This is always the case at the Eiverton Nurseries, where I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours one day this week with Vice-president Eisele and George A. Strohlein. The aquatics and perennials are features of especial in- terest now. One large water lily pond is In course of construction, while several divisions in the older ponds are being removed for the sake of convenience. One pond is fiUed with roots of varieties ready for shipping, all carefully pro- tected from the unusual cold of the present month, which has caused them to be later starting this year than usual. The tender varieties in the tanks in- doors are in a particularly thrifty condi- tion. This whole department is now under the charge of James T. Clark, who has mastered many of the prob- lems which beset the grower of aqua- tits. NymphiBa odorata rosea is doing splendidly. A very large stock of this sterling variety has rewarded his ef- forts. Steady progress marks this ven- ture, a few years ago considered by many as an uncertain field for commercial en- terprise. The hardy perennials now demand close attention, the planting out season being well under way. Mr. Eisele has this field xmder his personal supervision and promises a most extensive and inter- esting display in August. The hybrid roses occupy long rows of frames, as well as several of the houses. They have carried well throughout the severe winter and are now breaking finely. Magna Charta and Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Ulricli Brunner, Baroness EothschUd and a long list of well-known favorites arc found regularly arranged in blocks, showing order and system. A block of 10,000 or more Ampelopsis Veitchii were just coming into leaf. A couple of frames were filled with the pretty but- terfy violet, Viola cornuta papiUo, said to bloom throughout the summer, either in shade or moderately sunny places. It is useful for planting with rhododendrons or in shrubbery, where a carjiet of blue is desired. A curious plant is one which first makes flowers and then tall leaf stalks, facetiously de- scribed as umbrella substitutes. Golden hops are grown as ornamental plants, not for golden beer. Mr. Eisele spoke with great pleasure of the letter just leceived from a leading retailer, thank- ing him for delivering his azalea order exactly in the condition desired, an en- couragement for future effort. Ferns in small pots have proved ex- ceptionally good stock this season. Great numbers are coming up from seeds sown. Asparagus plumosus com- paeta has been much used in the same way; that is, for fern dishes. A. myrio- cladus, when given plenty of root room, produces beautiful, long-stemmed sprays. A couple of small houses are filled with Cocos Weddelliana. Dracjena goldeana, beautifully marked, is highly prized and it is believed will become more popular when better known. Quite a lot of palms are being shipped, giving room for others to be shifted and spread. J. M. Keller, when at Eiverton recently, said that a florist when ordering palms always meant kentias. now a temporary cutting down of varieties much to be regretted. UbO The Weekly Florists' Review. April 21, 190-i. Xeplirolepis Bostoniensis is considered the fern of the day, Tvith N. Scottii as desirable in small" pots. The packing shed was pretty full of orders picked out for shipment, nothing it was said to what would be seen in a day or two, when a sign calling for volunteer even- ing packers was likely to be displayed. The bedding plant men have taken kindly to the new reddeaved pennisetum mentioned in a previous report. Various Notes. Edwin Lonsdale has made an assign- ment for the benefit of his creditors. J. G. Lamb is named as assignee. James M. Thoirs, of Camden, N. J.. has been particularly busy since Easter. Samuel S. Pennock is receiving some very fine Liberties. Leo Niessen continues to handle many eases of wild smilax. The season for this staple decorative green is still in full swing. Charles F. Edgar & Co. have received some nice orders for florists' supplies. A special meeting of the Florists' Club was held last Saturday afternoon to pass resolutions of regret and sym- pathy on the death of George Huster. The club sent a floral emblem to his funeral. The Flower Market is experiencing ah excellent demand for sweet peas and other spring flowers. AVilliam .T. Baker is handling some very fine daisies and carnations. E. A. Stroud, of Strafford, is still sending superb fancy carnations to S. S. Pennock. Great sympathy is expressed on all sides for Messrs. Craig and Lonsdale. W. P. Peacock, of Atco, N. J., has doubled his area of glass for propagat- ing dahlias. Phil. Resolutions of Respect. At a special meeting of the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, held at the club room. Horticultural Hall, on Saturday, April 16, the following resolutions were adopted : Whereas, The members of tlie Flor- ists' Club having heard with deep re- gret of the death of their fellow mem- ber, George Huster, Eesolved.. That the club make a special minute of the high estimation in which they held Mr. Huster for his loyal and "faithful services on behalf of its interests from its foundation up ti- the time of his death. His professional ability and zeal were widely recognized and ins singleness of heart, earnestness of purpose and high sense of honor were distinguishing characteristics that earned him the affection and respect of all ; and. Resolved, That tlie secretary forwanl a copy of this minute to the relatives of Mr. Huster as a testimony to them of the warm regard in which Mr. Hus- ter was held and an expression of their sympathy in a mutual loss which they all deplore; and, further Eesolved, That the floral emblem of the club be sent to the funeral.

The unseasonable weather of late has made trade in cut flowers irregular and some of our florists are complaining of (lull times since Easter. The greenhouse men have plenty to occupy their minds from now on. 'making prepaiation for spring planting, which has not as J'et uegun, owing to the backward spring, so they are keeping themselves busy fill- ing up with bedding plants, places made vacant bv Easter stock. Some of our re- tailers are kept busy with early spring weddings, receptions and other social af- fairs, while others have considerable fu- neral work on hand. The wholesalers claim that the past week was better than the week previous, as far as trade was concerned. Cut stock was just as plen- tiful but the demand much better. In roses the supply is fairly good. Brides and Maids are of fine quality and color, with the price from .$6 to $8 per 100 for selects and $4 to .$5 for fii-sts. President Caruot and Golden Gate aie selling well. Selects in Meteor and Lib- erty are scarce, though plenty of firsts and seconds are in the market. Fancy Bfanties are quite plentiful at $4 and $.5 per dozen, Init more of the $2 and $3 kind, which sell well. Carnations are still leaders as quick sellers. The mar- ket is well supplied with good stock. Fancv sorts bring $3. fiists $2..50 and ordinarv are $2 per 100, though some are cheaper' in 1,000 lots. AVhite and Lawson sell best. Light pinks are slow. . Plenty of lilies are coming in at pres- ent, in 'fact more than the demand calls for. The same may be said for callas. In other bulb stock,' quite a few Eomans were in the past week. Daffodils anel jonquils are still a drug. A lot of fine white tulips are in the maiket at *2 ])er 100. Valley is in fair supply at $:>. Sweet peas are in better demand this week. The cold weather brought better color to the violets and a good supply was in all week, at 50 cents per 100. Florists' Club Meeting. The club's monthly meeting on Thurs- day afternoon was not so well attended as" it should have been. This, no doubt, was because most of the greenhouse men are busy with outside work. Still twen- ty members, inclueling the officers re- sponded to the call, this being our an- nual rose meeting. The display from out- side growers was very fine. Among them was a fine vase of La Detroit from Breit- meyer's Sons, of Detroit, Mich. Heller Br'os., of New Castle, Ind., sent General MacArthur. Peter Reinlierg, Chicago, showed Uncle John and Mme. Chatenay. Tlie Benthey-Coatesworth Co., of Chicago, exhibited a vase each of Ameiican Beau- ties, Liberty, Bride and Bridesmaid. None of the local growers made a dis- play, all being off crop. A'isitors at the meeting were Phil J. Hauswirth. Leonard Kill and L. Coatsworth of Chicago. All these gentlemen contributi'd remarks for the good of the club and the S. A. F. All chairmen reported progress for their respective committees. Frank H. Weber, nurseryman, was elected to mem- bership. Applications for membership were received from John Cannon, of Web- ster Groves, and J. H. Ahner, of Klrk- wood. After the large lot of communica- tions were disposed of the president ap- ]iointed Messrs. Animann, Guy and Wind- ier to pass on the roses on exhibition. The report was as follows: La Detroit, very fine pink, large flowers with great stems, somewhat bruised through ship- ment. Uncle John, very fine, best of its kind. Mme. Chatenay, very fine, elegant foliage and flue stems. The elisplay of the Beuthey-Coatswoith Co., of Beauties, ilaids. Brides and Liberty, very fine, well-grown stock. Heller Bros., General :\IacArthur, very fine red rose, elegant foliage and fine stem. The report was followed by a discus- sion led by John Steidle, on "Field Planting and Growing of Carnations,-' which brought out a good discussion from the carnation growers. George Windier followed with an essay on "Pot Grown Chrysanthemums," which was well re- ceived bv the members. A vote of thanks was we'll tendered each gentleman for his effort. The question was asked, why don't callas thrive in a bench where chrysanthemums were grown? The an- swer was finally left to some of the read- ers of the Be'view whom we hope will be able to answer this question in the next issue. After disposing of the roses on exhibition the meeting adjourned. The next meeting will take place May 12, at which J. F. Ammaun will lead a discussion on "Replanting Eose Stock" and F. W. Ude will lead a discussion on "Violet Growing." Various Notes. Jeihn Steidle has just finished build- ino- a new carnation house 20x114, which was built bv E. Thompson, of St. Louis. The remarks of Phil Hauswirth at the club meeting were much appreciated by the members. Mr. Hauswirth said that in calling on the different retailers in St. Louis he was much surprised in hear- ing a number of them say that they were not members of the club. He claims that it is the duty of every florist in the city where there is a club to be- come a member of it, and especially when the S. A. F. convention is to be held in its city. Mr. Kill's and Mr. Coatsworth 's remarks were also along the same line. After these remarks, on motion of Henry Ostertag the chairman appointed a committee, consisting of H. Ostertag, Otto Koeuig and George Wind- ier, to look after these new members and report at the next meeting. According to the Daily Republic, which records daily what happened in St. Louis twenty-five 'years ago. stated on April 16, 1879, a heavv hailstorm broke many skylights and wrecked the greenhouses of Charles il. Ellerd. Jordan Floral Co., Theo. Newman. Charles Bleeckert, Alex- ander Walelbart, Benj. Hortou and W. D. Grant. Bowling. Some of the florist bowlers journeyed over to Belleville Sunday afternoon to play a return match with E. W. Guy's team. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. C. A Kuehn, Mr. and ilrs. Carl Beyer. Mr and Mrs Theo. iUller, Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Ellis, Mr. and Mrs. J. J- Beneke and Arthur Ellison. The florists lost all three games and the least said about it the better.

Preceded by a :\eek of moderate ac- tivity, last week's business vras ex- pected to be an improvement but in- stead business dipped to a low ebb. Un- doubtedly the very unseasonable weather has much to do with this state of af- fairs ; the temperature is falling away below the frost mark almost every night. The heavy receipts of all kinds of flowers has caused a severe decline in prices. White roses and carnations are the only flowers that are in active de- mand. Colored stock of all kinds is hard to move. The quality of all stock is exceedingly fine. Lilies are offered at ridiculously low figures. There are still quantities of very good qualities of double and single daffodils in the mar- ket. Smilax is a scarce article. Various Notes. Charles T.

VEGETABLE PLANTS. When convenient to a good market, tlie raising of vegetable plants imder glass for subsequent planting outdoors is often quite a remunerative Ijusincss and even when they have to be shipped quite a distance they are not likely to suffer much in transit. When the season gets late for planting vegetable crops to ma- ture indoors, the houses can often be turned to Isetter advantage for the above purpose, as the piices of produce are often run down through competition with southern products during the late spring months. A great mistake is often made in try- ing to raise too many plants in the space at command, to the detriment of the quality of the stock produced, and I would advise anyone who intends es- tablishing a trade in this line to pay particular attention to the quality of his stock. Once a name is established for sending out first-class stock, a steady de- mand is assured. This cannot be done if the plants are huddled together and quantity made the first consideration. A satisfied customer is the best advertise- ment and such a customer will be perfect- ly willing to pay a higher price for stock that he can rely on than for stock that he is taking a good deal of risk in plant- ing. If you can make ends meet for the start, it will pay to wait a little for the dollars and cents, but just as sure as you send out good stock, the dollars and cents will come. The plants should be firm and stocky and of good color. Such plants can only be produced where ample space and am- ple light and air are given. It is often hard to establish such subjects as peppers and egg-plants in the open ground wlitn adverse climatic conditions prevail, but when good stock is planted they have a much better chance than weakly drawn up things with little or no backbone to them. We have seen poor tomato plants under very favorable conditions pick up surprisingly fast and give good returns, but peppers and agg plants, the latter especially, seldom if ever give good re- turns rrnless good plants are set out to begin with. Another point of the ut- most importance is the proper harden- ing off of the plants before sending them orrt. This matter is too often neglected and the plants are sure to receive a check if carelessly rushed out, rrnpre- pared for the change, where if grad- ually hardened off little or no check will resrrlt.

This may have no material effect on the crop, b\it it will prevent a good start. C'ENTERVILLE, Ia. — D.

Chicago. — No seeding has been dou'i for onion sets as yet, but it is thought that a good movement toward getting seed into the ground will be under way by the end of the week. Eeports generally for the month thus far do not show a sufficient gain in trade to make up for the shortage of March and February, and it looks as though May wiU have to hump itself to make 1904 equal 1903. Indianapolis, Indj — This section, which is now an important onion set point, has. as yet seen no planting of seed. We are two weeks late now, with the prospect of adding another before the weather will permit planting. Toronto, Ont. — Under date of April 16. J. Simmers & Co. write: "We have beautiful spring weather here, six inches of snow on the ground. Yesterday we had as severe a snow storm as any of the past winter; very encouraging for the seed birsiness. ' ' Spinach seed seems to be the only item that is holding its own in price, with a prospect of advancing. The backwardness of planting opera- tions at all points is having a demoral- izing effect on the seed trade. Lack of customary orders is causing jobbers to lower prices in the effort to force sales. This meets with little response, and the planting time for sweet corn, cucumbers and other seeds that are un- usually short is likely to drag along un- til all chance for a proper price for stock has been lost. EASTER LILY BULB SITUATION. V. ][. Henry, of llenrv iSc Lee, was a Chicago visitor this week, having but recently returned from six weeks in Ber- muda. With regard to the Easter lily bulb situatioii he states: ' ' While the acreage planted is about tliat of last year, the stock planted is of 3 smaller grade and growers are practically irnanimous in predicting a shortage of from twenty-five to fifty per cent in the larger sizes, that is, 7 to 9 and 9 to 11 bulbs, with an average crop of 5 to 7. Owing to the short crop outlook prices are quoted about ten per cent higher than last year. Quality shows a little improvement over last sea- sou 's crop. ' ' The prices on Japan stock, Lilium lougiflorunr and its varieties, are quot- ed at an advance from fifteen to twenty- five per cent over those of last year, due to an increase in freight rates from .Tapan and to the land tax levied by the Japanese government as the result of the war with Eussia. An export duty had been feared, but it has been decided not to levy it at this time. The ad- vance in price is more pronoimced on the giganteum vai-iety than on the regu- lar longiflorum. While this is merely a matter of opinion, we do not expect that the war complications TviU interfere with the regular deliveries of longiflo- rums, these shipments being usually made in August and September, but later shipments may be interfered with. ' ' Figures which have recently come to hand show that the average Bermuda crop, say that of 1903, is about 10,000 cases, or two million bulbs. The figures on the Japanese shipments of last year show a total of from three and a half to four million bulbs. The proportion of the 9 to 10 size was between fifteen and twenty per cent of the quantity har- vested of the 7 to 9 and smaller sizes." Wanted-japan Lilies OF AI.I.

A recent hail storm destroyed all the glass in our greenhouses and our crop of rose buds and carnation buds are slightly frozen. How may I manage the plants? r. w. E. When buds have been badly frozen they are unlikely to develop properly, if at all, and should be removed from the plants as quickly as possible. The rose buds should be cut at the proper eye, just as if they were perfect, tluis secur- ing^ the best eyes for future crops. Car- nations should also be picked with the same care as if they were perfect buds. The cultural management should be guided by the extent of damage done to the plants. No forcing or feeding should be practiced until root action is again well established, which will be indicated by the breaking of eyes and the forma- tion of new wcTod. Above all give free ventilation, both by night and day, on every favorable occasion and keep the soil rather on the dry side. Use all precautions against mildew, as these checks are just the conditions that favor the germination and spreading of this pest. I deeply sympathize with those of our brethren who were so unfortunate as to be situated in the path of the hail storms and floods, and as we happened to be among the number we fully realize the disappointment and loss. I?ibes. I HAVE certainly been well pleased with the Review and would not like to be with- out it; I think every florist should take it. — C. L. Shanks, Newton, Kan. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

ETHEL WARD: The Market Weather this last week has certainly been agaiust the development of flow- ers, as well as against the sale of them, having had nine inches of snow on April 15, and decidedly cold weather preced- ing and following it. This has had the effect of making both supply ami demand very erratic. The development of outdoor stock has been retarded so that, where at this time of year we are usually cutting outdoor tulips, we now scarcely see a peep of them show- ing above ground yet. Indoor bulb stock has been scarce since Easter and the demand for roses and carnations has been keener on that account, which fortunately have been quite equal to it. At the time of writing, many of our retail men are making preparations for some big weddings and this will clean up considerable stock. Various Notes, The Georgetown Floral Company, who were frozen out after Christmas, are again cutting some very fair roses. Their carnation plants were completely ruined. The hail storm which visited this locality two weeks ago did considerable damage to the greenhouses in this vicin- ity. Miller & Sons, at Bracondale, had Rooted Carnation Cuttings.

J. BELLEVILLE, ILL. The Democrat, of this place, prints the following under date of April 15: •liimes Gurne.v. the general superintendent of Tower Grove pju-k and iShaw's Garden. In Sr. I>oui8. and Philip C^hle. the foreman of the |.r«.paf;atlon department of Tower Grove park and Shaw's Garden, wore in this cit.v on Wednesday. Tlsitinjr Dr. A. S. nalstedt. of the St. Clair Floral Company. This was the tirst time that Mr. Gurne.v ever visited Kelleville and he was very well pleased with the eitv and promised to renew his visits from time t'> time during the summer. The two gentlemen came here on invitation of Dr. Halstedt to visit the greenhouses of the St. Clair Floral Co., and before leaving stated that they were well pleased with the trip. While here Mr. Gurne.v. who has been a botan- ical student from childhood up. and who since a boy has been connected with Shaw's Gar- den, one of the most famous botanical gardens in the conntr.v, commended Dr. Halstedt on the wonderful varieties of original seedling' geraniums. The St. Clair Floral Co. has tifty- three varieties of geraniums, which were cross- fertilized in the company's greenhouses here. It is the intention of the compan.v to exhibit three of the seedling geranium varieties at tho World's Fair. Wlicn Mr. Gurney learned of this he advised Dr. Halstedt to give up the idea of exhibiting the plants, stating that the plants are worth thousands of dollars, and that the same should be carefnll.y tended and watched. Dr. Halstedt is now considering whether to exhibit the plants, or leave the fiame in the greenhouses. Mr. Gurney was very loud in his praise of the St. Clair Floral (\>. and predicted great success for the same.

Mr. Dieckmann retains his interest in the store business, where Miss Clara P. Forbes is in charge. Petoskey, JIich. — S. J. Long says Easter trade was all that could be de- sired, carnations, lilies and -violets taking the lead. Saturday and Sunday were ideal days for delivering and kept us busy until Sunday noon. Everything cleaned up, even inferior stock went, ex- cept a few lilies which did not open readily. Sales were twenty per cent bet- ter than premous years. U74 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

The Cbronicle, of this place, says that so much has been heard with regard to Ehlnebeck being the floricultural center of Dutchess county, that it believes some- thing should be said for Wappinger's Falls. A half column is devoted to the several fine private establishments, .not- ably those of "W. P. Clyde, Henry Oster- hout, gardener, and Irving Grinnell, John C. G;ilvin, gardener, after which the commercial places are described, as fol- lows: Joseph Jones, in spite of his illness most of the season, produced a fine dis- play of roses, carnations, lilies and smilax. A. Laub & Son, florists, of Hughson- ville, report that their Easter business of this year exceeded any previous year. They have one house 16x100 feet, one 18x100 feet, two 16x100 feet, one 15x3.5 feet, and a carnation house 3.5x100 feet, one of the finest of its kind in the coun- ty, as well as a lily house, and a house for bedding stock. They shipped for their Easter trade 1,000 carnations and 23,000 violets, requiring eleven persons to do the bunching, as they sliipped all the violets on Saturday. James Duncan, formerly superintend- ent for J. F. S. Banks, now conducting the violet business for himself, made an exceptional showing for his first year. He has two houses, 20x150 feet, from which he picked 25,000 violets for the Easter trade, 9,000 of them being extra spe- cials. I. T. N. Harcourt rather exceeded his usual Easter display this year. Mr. Harcourt has on his place three houses, in which he grows carnations, cinerarias, pansies, ferns, palms, smilax and lilies, and especially good callas. Lansdowne, Pa. — Both William Ee- menter and Anthony Language report the Easter business heavier than ever before. Paducah, Ky. — Robert Budolph has purchased the interest of his partner, Mr. Mattison, and is moving the six green- houses to Rowlandtown, where he will continue the business.

I would be pleased to know what car- nations to plant in the warmest part of the house. I shall have Lawson, En- chantress, ITarlowarden, Potter Palmer, Flora Hill, White Cloud. Nelson and Mary Wood. L. A. D. I presume that all these varieties are to be planted in one house. You have a pretty wide range of temperatures in these varieties and unless your hou.<;'> varies a great deal between the two ends they will not all be suited together, t will give you the temperatures best suited to each variety and then you can plant them accordingly: Lawson, 56 degrees; Enchantress, 48 to 50; Har- lovvardeu, 50 to 52; Mrs. Palmer, 52 to 54; Flora Hill, 54 to 56; White Cloud, 48 to 50; Mrs. E. A. Nelson, 50 to 52; Mary Wood, 52 to 54. This is, of course, jiroviding your soil is of a medium tex- ture. If it is very heavy Enchantress will stand two degrees warmer and so will White Cloud. In a light soil and a high temperature Enchantress is liable to have a weak neck and a poor color. It takes a heavy soil and a cool tem- perature to keep the stem stiff and to give it that beautiful Davbreak color. A.' F. J. Batjr. CARNATIONS IN ENGLAND. .John Kneller, gardener at Penrhyii Castle, says tliat Mme. Franco is de- cidedly ahead of other winter-flowering carnations. It has a perfect habit, tree form, iino deep color and much fra- grance. Its one fault is a propensity to split the calyx. Flowertd in 7-inch ]iots many blooms are four inches in diameter. Mr. Kneller says Daybreak is another good variety, but smaller and lighter in color. "Mrs. T. W. Lawson with us is only moderately good and quite third class as compared w'ith Franco. " Xewton, Kan. — C. L. Shanks says bu.siness was very good at Easter, Harrisii lilies being in particularly good demand and his stock unusually good. He is think- ing of putting in a wholesale ilorists' sup- ply hnii.se in connection with his tlorists ' luisincss. This Book will make you money by saving you money.

After a miserably cold spell we are having a few days of good spring weather, not so very warm, but still the sun is shining and it makes us feel as if life is woith living again. Business has taken a braee also and, while it is not working any of us overtime, yet there is a considerable increase in demand. The supply is not nearly so heavy as it was, either, and prices are consequently mov- ing upward a trifle. There have been some good wedding decorations but noth- ing of unusual interest. The supply of roses is not quite so heavy but the quality is much improved. Good quality Liberty and Meteor are scarce. Carnations are about equal to the demand and in very good shape. Prices are holding up first class, much better than on roses. Bulbous stock is moving steadily but at very low prices. There are a great many Harrisii and callas and they sell at about $1 per doz. Valley is in good demand and scarce. Violets sell at sight and whoever hap- pens to have a good crop of them is hitting it rich. Green goods are still scarce. Various Notes. Hardesty & Co. had a narrow escape from fi,ie last Tuesday. The blaze was next door and had it not been for the prompt work of the fire department they would have suffered considerable damage. A number of the craft tendered a sur- prise on Walter Gray Sunday evening, it being the anniversary of his birth. Thfre were all kinds of good things to eat, and a good time was had by all those who were fortunate enough to be present. Fred L. Sehuiz, of Louisville, Ky., was in the city Sunday, visiting some of the greenhouse plants. H. C. Dieterich, of Mlaysville, Ky., was also a visitor. C. J. Ohmer. PECIMEN CACTI. 50,000 CANNAS from |I.

ENTIRE TOWN SOLD, Under the above caption a Youngs- towu, O., newspaper publishes the fol- lowing account of the sale of Templin property at Calla, 0.: Hie-hard and Wilbur Templin have sold their Calla Greenhouses, together -^^ith their good will, to Norman Bashluger, of Columbiana, and Charles W. Hendricks, of Leetoniu. for a con- sideration not given, and the latter will in- corporate and take actual charge of the famous seed farm after May 15. The Calla Greenhouses were organized thirty years ago by Lewis Templin and have since passed into the hajids of his sons and grand- son. They were transferred to Richard L. Templin and Mark B. Templin. Wilbur W. Templin, a sou of Richard, and his father have sold their two-thirds Interest in the pi-op- erty, which is really the whole town. All of the land, together with twenty greenhouses and eight dwellings, were sold to Norman Bashinger. cashier of the First National Bank at Ctolumbiana. and Charles W. Hendricks, teller of the First National Bank at Leetonla. These young business men are hustlers and the change augurs continued prosperity for the l>eople of Calla and success for the members of the corp4>ration that is to organize. Through the enormous business of the Temp- lin company the postolfice there is second to Yonngstown in this county and pays a. salary of $1,700 a year to the postmaster, who is Wilbur Templin, placed there after a hot po- litical struggle. The change may result in his resignation, and it Is said that he and his father may embark in the same business in some other place. They have no plans at present, but their hosts of friends will wish them continued prosperity in any line and in any field. OCEANIC, N. J.

J« J«^ April 28, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review* 1201 CARE OF YOUNG STOCK. Propagation should be continued rigbt along as fast as good cuttings can be procured, as the main crop of stock should bo all rooted this month. Cut- tings so rooted are nice little stock for planting in June, which is a favorite month with the average ilorist. Many of the best exhibition growers plant in May, rightly claiming that the plants are benefited by a longer growing sea- son, but these growers have their stock already rooted and potted up. The divid- ing line between the exhibition grower and the grower for the cut tlower mar- ket is every year becoming more marked in the east, as the latter cannot afford to compete with the former any more on the exhibition boards. More care is necessary from now on in rooting cuttings, because the sun is getting more powerful every day and if the propagating bench is in a position where the sun strikes it at all, shading of some kind is necessary. Much more water, too, is necessary and the cuttings should be frequently syringed to keep them from wilting, as the less a cut- ting wilts the quicker it will root. While on the subject of wilting ic may be well to add that it is a very wrong practice, though quite common, to take the cuttings off the old stools and leave them lying around for hours before putting them in the sand. Get off a batch of cuttings, prepare them, and put them in the sand at once. You will then have less cause to complain about your cuttings not rooting good. When your cutting has emitted roots half an inch long it is time to get it out of the sand and potted up, because if left too long in the sand the plant gets spindly and drawn up and its constitu- tion is greatly impaired. Begin right, with good cuttings, always do things when they need doing, and the chrysan- themum will be found one of the easiest subjects to handle. For a first potting use nothing but a good, fibrous loam, unless it be a little leaf mold or very rotten manure. Bono or any other prepared fertilizer should never be used at this stage, because the plant is not in a condition to use food of that description. I have before now seen cuttings killed by kindness in this respect by young and enthusiastic be- ginners, who were going to show the other fellows how to do things. Fire heat should not be used any more now and if you have by chance other things in your house that need heat yet awhile, the best thing to do is to get the chrysanthemums out into a cold frame. I would rather have my plants out in a cold frame at this time than any other place, providing one has a con- scientious man to look after them. They need considerable attention in watering, ventilating and protecting nights from frost, but it is wonderful how they strengthen up and show by their im- proved appearance how they appreciate the change to what is for them more natural surroundings. Brian Boku. TROUBLE WITH CUTTINGS. i am having difiiculty iu rooting my chrysanthemums. The stock plants were wintered under the bench in a cool house and seem to have been in fine shape when started up to make cuttings. They are planted on a bench in good soil, night temperature about 52 degrees. The giowth is slow and when I take off the cuttings they are slow to root, and many do not root at all. Is it because the growth is too hard! We keep the sand wet and the temperature of the house 65 to 70 degrees. One of my neighbors tells me to take up the stock plants and plant them all but the tops under ground in rather poor soil, keep warm and water well. He says I will get more sprouts, soft growths which will root well. Is that right? Is there still time to try it? How late can cuttings be taken and get the cut flowers for November 1? I grow all my own flowers and can 't af- ford to be late. Would I better bu; plants than try to root them now? A. H. T>. It is diiEcult to sav just what the trou- ble is with the stock of A. H. D. He remarks that the stock plants were win- tered under the bench in a cool house, a proceeding that, while often done, is wrong. I have often in these notes well as he suggests. I would not follow the advice of his neighbor and bury the plants. Such a proceeding would most probably mean that they would die outright. The weather is getting warm now and if A. H. D. has his old plants well established in the bench and keeps them well watered he will get all the cuttings he needs. Cuttings may be rooted up to the end of July and still flower by November 1, as the flowering period is moie a question of bud selec- tion than of early or late propagation, though if he wants good flowers with a two or three foot stem, plants rooted in May are late enough. If A. H. D. finds himself short of stock at planting time in June he had probably better lay in some young stock, but if the old stock gets to growing well they will produce a great many cuttings next month an(^ he can afford to wait for the present. Brian Boru. GRADING MUMS. ' Will you kindly tell us the standarcf method of grading chrysanthemums T Anything else pertaining to mum shows will be read with interest. G. N. Co. If the G. N. Co. is asking for the standard method of grading chrysanthe- mums for market I would say that there is no fixed standard of grade, as there is with roses, for instance. The liowers arc sold on their merits, the largest flowers, if all other considerations as regards fol- iage, stem, color, etc., are equal, bring- ing the highest prices. I have seen chrysanthemums bring from 1 cent up to 50 cents each, wholesale, the difference being entirely one of size and excellence. Festival Hall and Cascades, Worlds Fair. (The Pair opena on Saturday o( this Week and Closes December l.i urged my readers to keep their plants up to the light even though something else had to be thrown out to make room for them. A. H. D. says that "while the plants seemed to be in fine shape when started up, the growth is slow." I have often noticed that stock plants when moved into new soil do not take hold kindly, in fact will sometimes die out- right unless they are made very firm in the soil. A good pounding round the roots with a half brick will perhaps bo time well spent. There should be no difficulty in root- ing cuttings in April if the sand is kept moist and the cuttings shaded. The growth is evidently too hard to root The letter part of this letter referring to mum shows leads me to tliink that perhaps it is information concerning the judging or disposition of classes in an exhibition that is asked for. If this is the case and your correspondent will tell me just what he wants I will be happy to go into detail with him. 1 hope *o have considerable to say in these notes later concerning exhibitions, as I think the subject is one of growing importance to chrysanthemums and chrysanthemum lovers.

I enclose a geranium leaf. Can you tell nie what the trouble with it is an.l what to do for the plants. L. A. D. We have seen this same trouble on some varieties of zonale geraniums, not- ably on the olil single scarlet, General Grrint. While the leaf was dotted over with a number of spots that remained green and apparently healthy, the body of the leaf was withered and yellow. I am not able to say what disease it is, ex- cept that I believe it is a fungus, al- though it docs not show on the surface of the leaf as the common mildew does on our roses and other plants. I don't believe there is any antidote you could applv, or rather that it would pay to bother with, except the best of all cures, proper conditions. A cool temperature with little ventilation and a damp house with, perhaps, too much water at the roots is, I feel sure, the cause of this trouble. The zonale geranium is largely a succulent. If kept at a high temper- ature in winter they will grow fast and then would need a liberal supply of water, but if kept cool during the dark months, as they always should be when grown for flower gardening purposes, thev want little water in the winter months. Pull off all leaves showing signs of the disease, give them the full sun, room to grow, a little fire heat and plenty of ventilation and tliey will grow out of this yellow jaundice disease. Just a word about the geraniums in winter. I can well remember the method in vogue forty years ago in England. A dozen cuttiugs were put into a 6-inch pot, perhaps in November, where thay remained till the following March, and in the mild winters of the south of Eng- land would go through the winter with perhaps not six days of any fire heat the whole winter and for a mouth at a time no water was given them. W. S. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. The Season of Rapid Growth. We are about to enter the month and season when it calls for skill, watchful- ness and energy to keep our rapid grow- ing plants in good order, far more than it does in the cold months of winter, when to keep up the temperature is the main object. Growth is exceedingly rapid just now. If you don't realize it just keep out of a house for a week and notice the great change on your visit again. One of the mistakes too often made by those growing many kinds of bedding plants is to let the fires go out in early May. I would rather have many tender plants in cold frames, where an abund- ance of fresh air could be given day and night, than in a house with no fire and little ventilation. On this important subject I am going to trespass a moment on some good men's territory. Fire Heat in Cut Flower Houses. I never saw after May 1, or when there was no longer danger of tho nights going below 45 degrees outside, ,any harm in letting the fires out in the carnation houses. From early April to the end of May their growth is wonder- ful. But when you cease firing give plenty of ventilation day and night. Now about roses. There is no one who is growing roses in our climate who will not agree that it is impossible to dis- pense with fire heat before the middle of June. And is it wise or profitable to shut off the heat even at that late date? No, it is not. Last summer there were not seven consecutive days when you could do without fire and not have mil- dew. Localities differ. I have seen a first- class rose grower of Darby Koad leavo the end door of the Bridesmaid house wide open in October while he showed visitors around the housf. On bein^ questioned, "Are you npt afraid of mil dew t" " Oh, no, "that won 't hurt, " was the reply. It would hurt sorely with us, and mil.lew would appear. A little steam and ventilation will be the order of things every night this summer uu- less we should "get a hot, dry spell, and then all things should be in readiness in case of a sudden change. I am not going to say any more about carnations or roses, because experts tell you all about them, only the firing ques- tion opened up the subject. Heat for Bedding Plants. In the houses where a great variety of our summer bedding plants are grown the sudden stopping of fire heat is very disastrous to many plants. The show- pelargoniums, as well as the single zonale varieties, will drop their petals the first cool, damp night and the florets of the semi-double zonales will rot. If you had a house with nothing but zonale geraniums in it, if there was not a speck of shading on the glass, if you were very particular that before night came there was not a drop of moisture in the house, and if you had ventilation on all night, then you might get along with these popular plants without fire, but a little beat is much safer through the month of May. Avoid that dampuess that you see settled on the plants in the morning after a night without fire, for it is deadly. Don't think for a moment that a lit- tle heat from the pipes and at the same time ventilation is by any means forc- ing. It is not. Pure, fresh, warm air is more conducive . to hardiness than a close, stagnant atmosphere, even j if it is cool. Coleus, acalyphas, achyranthes, cannas, calauiums, in fact all these trop- ical plants, will just stand still if you let out your fires before settled warm weather. The brightest coleus becomes as lustrous as brown paper. Besides these tropical plants there are any amount of others, such as fuchsias, abutilons, sal- vias, heliotropes, etc., which will be sadly stunted with such a check. There are three places or positions for our plants for the next three or four weeks: the cold frame for the almost hardy plants, such as the young carnations, feverfew, seedling hardy annuals and others; the mild hotbed, where so many things that are slow-growing but want heat do so well, and, thirdly, the greenhouse, with lire heat kept judiciously going. Shading. Shading is important just now, and often as important left off as put ou. (.'(immon whitewash is often used, but white lead and naphtha makes a better looking shade, and will subdue the sun's rays without giving so dense a shade as liiiie. Don 't use any linseed oil in the lead unless you want to get on the roof and scrub it off in the fall. I heard a most illustrious carnation grower when in Detroit say that he had Just shaded his Lawson carnations, that was about March 1. ' ' What shade did you use, Eugene," was the query. ''Cheesecloth tacked on inside the roof." AVe have used this material for shading the cutting bed for years, and it is ex- cellent for the purpose, or anywhere where shading is necessary. Light tut- ors through the thin cloth but it stops the direct rays of the sun. To keep the temperature down the cloth should be ou the outside, but that, of course, is almost impracticable and this cheese- cloth, either inside or out, for general use would be too expensive, so some easily applied liquid shading we have to depend on. Don't put it on with a syringe; you will get over the job quicker with a syringe, but it would not be as well done, and you will use much more ma- terial than with a brush. It is not necessary early in the sea- son, when some shade is needed, that the panes of glass be entirely covered. If it is to keep down the temperature in the bright suns of May, then a streak of the brush down the center of the glass will do, leaving two or three inches of clear glass next to the bar. The sun, or rather the earth, is ever moving, so that every few minutes all the plants in turn get the direct sunlight. Broadly, I would say put off shading your fast-growing, soft-wooded bedding plants as long as possible. They will be all the better suited for outside if you do. Coleus, cannas and caladiums want no shade at any time, and a whole lot of other plants would not if you could keep their roots uniformly moist. It is in the bright, sunny days of May, if water- ing is neglected, that the plants in the small pots begin to suffer. Plunging the Pots. Did you notice, but of course you have, that you can plunge the pots of gerani- ums and even tuberous rooted begonias in the soil of a hotbed and let the fierce rays pour down on the clear glass and your plants will smile and grow strong, simply because the roots are moist, the hot, dry clay pot is not parching the roots? We used, in times gone by, to begin to plunge our zonale geraniums on the benches about May 1 in some easily handled material, decayed leaves, or, best of all, decayed refuse hops. Sup- posing these plants were in 4-inch pots and the plunging material was oidy two or three inches up the side of the pots, as in most cases it was. The difference in vigor, size and robustness of these plants compared with those just stand- ing on the bare sand or ashes was simply marvelous, and so it is with all plants grown in pots. It is not the sun 's rays ou the foliage that burns and exhausts;" it is tlie continual drying out and injury to Apbil 28, 1904. The Weekly Florists* Review* 1203 Lilium Candidum at Easter, 1904, Grownby W. N. Craig at North Easton, Mass. the roots. I am not going to say that all your thousands of bedding plants should be plungtd, but I will say that you can delay shading for a month, save hours of labor, watering and grow infinitely better plants in every respect if you plunge your plants. Protect the Hydrangeas. Last year we had a rather sad ex- perience with a number of large hydran- geas that had been wintered in a shed where there was plenty of light and the temperature kept but a few degrees above the freezing point, an ideal place for sweet bays, hydrangeas, box trees, oleanders, etc. The hydrangeas during April will grow, and grow weak and spindling, and they should be got out- doors as soon as it is safe, but look out for the frosts that may come, and did come last year, about May 20, for this tender young growth will freeze, and that will settle the flower buds for thnt year. They should be outdoors, but in such position that they can be laid down and covered at any danger of frost. The sweet bays will stand any cold that we will get from November on, unless they have been coddled in a greenhouse, and have started to grow. Crimson Ramblers. I think it was in the Boston notes that I saw that the Ciimson Ramblers that were summer-grown i i ) ots ;n;d sold tlie past Easter were mueli superior to those lifted and potted in the fall. Of course they were, and always will be. Now is the time to start with them, either with plants you have in the field, or some you must buy from a nurseryman. Cut them down severely. If you leave two or three inches of last summer 's growth it is plenty. You only want five or six canes of this summer's growth.- Pot into 6, 7 or S-inch, according to size and strength of plant. Pot firmly and put them into tbe coolest house you Lave, or in a cold frame. They will soon make roots, and at the same time start growth. If in a cold frame, I would ]irefer them moved into a light house as soon as root growth is active. When the young growths are an inch or two long, select five or six of the strong- est, and rub off the rest. Let them come along slowly in the greenhouse, no forc- ing. Tie the canes to a stake as they grow, and when real hot weather comes be sure they don't suffer for water at the roots. A hot day and dry at the loots will produce mildew. And as I can see these pot-grown Ramblers on July 4 with canes five and six feet high, I will take a rest. William Scott. LILIUM CANDIDUM. The merits of the ascension or annun- ciation lily, Lilium candidum, were at one time fully recognized by florists and large numbers were disposed of in our eastern oiarkets. During the past six or eight years, however, they have been al- most entirely dropped by trade growers. Not without some reason, 'tis true, for the major portion of the bulbs sold at low rates, produced miserable, diseased plants, yielding only three to five flowers per stem. At one time candidmn lilies cut quite a feature in our Boston Easter market; this year we failed to find a spike in the wholesale flower market and only a few wretched little spikes in one of our Boylston street stores. Our experience with Lilium candidum of late years has been that the cheap bulbs grown in Turkey, Holland, or the south of France are useless; they pro- duce poor spikes and are full of disease. But bulbs from the north of France can be absolutely relied upon; for five years we have not seen a trace of disease on any of our indoor stock. We have had quite good success with bulbs grown in the sanely soil of Cape Cod, in Massa- chusetts and believe bulbs equal to the French' ones could be grown in our east- ern states if some enterprising grower could take them in hand. The culture of this lily is very simple. We pot our bulbs as soon as received, three in an 8-inch pot. The extra large bulbs will need 10-inch pots. We get much better returns by using the larger size pots than can be had by potting bulbs singly in 6-inch pots. A compost of turfy loam, well decayed cow manure and sand is used. After potting the bulbs are stood on a bed of ashes in an open, sunny position outdoors until the advent of frost severe enough to freeze the compost quite hard, when they are placed in a frame. Bulbs for Easter blooming are housed about January 1. Lilium candiehim does not take kinelly to hard filing; in a temperature of 50 de- grees at night it was in good season for Easter this year. Plants in 8-inch pots carried four to six spikes with from six to twelve flow- ers per spike ; good ones had fifteen each. This lily needs plenty of liquid food and is very susceptible to the attacks of green aphis, like others of its family. We consider well-grown specimens of this lily far superior to Lilium longiflorum, either for cut flowers or for conserva- tory decoration, anel visitors are nearly unanimously of like opinion. Its cheap- ness, usefulness and ease of culture should commend it to florists generally. W. N. Craig. Gkand R.\pid?, Mich. — Eli Cross wiU shortly begin work on another violet house.

Please inform me why Trumpet Major narcissus has failed to bloom after the first year 's planting out of doors. Should the clumps be lifted, dried ofT .•iiul re- planted? L- M. Q. In Holland, where these bulbs are grown to supply all Europe, they are lifted every summer, after the tops are ripe and withered, the large bulbs se- lected for sale and the off-sets planted again in the fall. But that is no reason why you should lift them if you want a bed of them. I don't see why they should not thrive and come up and flower annually, as the Von Sions will, or the tulip beds which we have seen remain untouched for many years. You must look to some other cause for their not flowering. If they were planted in the open ground in the fall and flowered the following spring they should flower again the second spring, whether they were lifted during the summer or not. But if they were bulbs that you force^l in the winter and then planted out last fall, that is another thing, and yen should not expect much results for what with the forcing and cutting flow- ers and foliage close off to the ground, and a sudden cessation of growth just when it should bt storing up strength and substance for another year's growth and flower, you are doing the very re- verse of what nature demands. W. S. SEASONABLE WORK. In order to have large thrifty bushes from which to begin cutting in Sep- tember, planting should be proceeded with as early as possible, especially in extensive places, where so much has to be accomplished in such a short time. All planting of young stock should be com- pleted before July. Young stock must now, as the sea- son advances, make its early summer growth, and if the growth takes place while Utt plants are in the pots we must not expect it to be so large or of such fine quality as that produced in the freer possibilities of the bench. Consequently, there is a decided loss in vigor, besides a curtailment of the grow- ing season, which counts for a good deal in houses meant for the early work. Growers who have studied the wants of their customers and the general trend of the market during the past season will now have their planting plans so far completed that they will be in no doubt as to the varieties and their dif- ferent proportions of color wanted, and should let no considerations deter them from proceeding at once. When the market remains good and the plants are producing hea^y crops, it does seem like a sacrifice to throw them out, and this is frequently the cause of a glut in the market, reducing prices to the lowest ebb, where they are likely to remain during the rest of the sea- son. With the early summer crops com- ing we ought to be "able to keep our customers going from half the space required during the winter, thus protect- ing ourselves from an over-supply an 1 its consequence'. To derive a little more profit from the old stock the judicious grower will make an endeavor to find a market for them. Beauties, Meteors, Golden Gate and Ivory make excellent stock for bed- ding out, and if these can be disposed of at prices to repay careful lifting, and delivering, it is like money found ; tlioy have to go anyhow. After the bushes are disposed of Uic old soil should be removed and all accu- mulations of soil and rubbish from under the bench cleaned out. The benches should be thoroughly overhauled, and all necessary repairs made, making certain that they are strong enough to outlast the season. The woodwork of roofs, walls and benches should then get a thorough washing with the nozzle, using sufficient force to remove all acniniulation-s of scum and dirt. The benches should then get a coat of hot lime wash. This acts as a preserva- tive of the wood, and is sure death to insects and their eggs. Some good grow- ers claim that the addition of sulphur in the proportion of about one-fourth of the bulk of the lime is a sure preventive of mildew. Whether this is so I cannot say, but it is an inexpensive experiment and free from danger to either roots or foliage. To prevent the soil from running through the cracks, some straw or sod fiber should be placed on the bench. The soil should then be carefully spread, tak- ing care not to let any inequalities, such as the hard bottom of the hills, remain. The benches should be filled flush, assum- ' ing that the sideboards are five inches high, and if bone is to be used as a fertilizer it should be added now. As this material can be added at any future time, it is better not to be too liberal in its use while the plants are small, twenty pounds to each 500 square feet of bench being within the lines of safety. This can either be left on the surface, or ruffled in previous to planting. Ribes. SHORT STEMMED WOOTTON. Our Wootton roses come full of short- stemmed buds and we seldom get a nice long stem, although the buds are perfect. The plants were set last spring and they commenced to throw an enormous lot of buds, and the more we disbud the more wc produce. The plants are apparently healthy. What is the correct treatment to get better stems? S. S. B. This condition is very common to Wootton roses and often arises from the quality of wood used in propagating. Other conditions, such as poverty of soii, or lack of ventilation will produce the same results. As a remedy, when tak- ing the cut, cut back to one or two eyes, give liquid manure once a week, keep the night temperature at 60 to 62 de- grees, day temperature 75 to 80 degrees, according to intensity of sunshine, and give plenty of ventilation on all favora- ble occasions, both night and day.

In the ease of the American Express Co., which protested at the duty assessed at the port of Buffalo on certain rooted rose cuttings imported for the Heller Bros., of the South Park Floral Co.; John Burton and others, the decision of the Board of General Appraisers is so important that is is given here in full: These protests relate to importations of so- called rooted rose cuttings, which were assessed for duty at 2\^ cents each under the following provision of paragraph 2n2 of the tariff act of 1897: "Rose plants, budded, grafted, or grown on their own roots. 2^ cents each." They are claimed to be dutiable at twenty- five per cent ad valorem under the last sub- division of the paragraph, which reads as fol- lows: "Stocks, cuttings, and seedlings of all fruit and ornamental trees, deciduous and ever- green, shrubs and vines, manetti, multlflorn. and brier rose, and all trees, shrubs, plants and vines, commonly known as nursery or greenhouse stock, not specially provided for In this Act. twenty-five per centum ad valorem." The official samples consist of small rose cut- tings, with slight tendrils or rootlets sproutinL' from the base. The evidence is not In the most satisfactory form, but tends to show that the cuttings have been placed in sand a auffl- clent length of time to start root action In order to make them more hardy for trans- portation ; that they have never been In soil or In i>ots; that they are advertised In trade papers as "rooted cuttings," the price ranging from $1.50 to $2.50 per hundred; that they are Intended to be grown into plants after being placed In soil In pots; that rose plants aro usually sold in soil in pots, and range in price as high as $20 per hundred. The Board has hitherto held that rose cut- tings were not dutiable as "rose plants" un- der said paragraph 252. being the youngest virgin stock from which hybrid rose plants "grown on their own roots." as distinguished from roses grafted, budded, or grown from seed, are cultivated. The record in this case supplies no good reason why a different rule should apply to the so-called rooted cuttings In controversy. On the contrarv it Is per- suasive of the view that the term "plants" was not meant to include articles such as these. In which the root development Is so small and to all appearances so Immature as to be Insignlflcant. The last subdivision of paragraph 252 is not altogether free from ambiguity, owing to the uncertainty as to how far the expression "stocks, cuttings and seedlings of" qualifies the cL-iuses which follow it in the paragraph. The cuttings involved, while they may liave been grown by budding or grafting upon wild or hardy stock — such as manetti, multiflora. , or brier roses — are themselves. It would appear, hybrids, Intended to be reared into plants having such names as "Bride," "Bridesmaid." "Meteor." "Perle." "Sunset," etc. Since rooted rose cuttings can not be said to be either "trees," "shrubs." "plants," or "vines," If these goods are dutiable at all under the pro- vision referred to, it would seem to be as "cut- tings of plants commonly known as nursery or greenhouse stock." This construction. It will be seen, extends the effect of the expression "stocks, cuttings and seedlings of" to all the subsequent members of the paragraph, and reads It as though as it were printed as fol- lows: Stocks, cuttings and seedlings (not specially provided for in the act) of all (1) fruit and ornamental trees, deciduous and evergreen. (2) shrubs and vines. (3) manetti. multiflora and brier rose. (4) trees, shrubs, plants and vines, commonly known as nursery or greenhouse stock. The Board is of opinion that this Interpre- tation should be adopted. Although it may appear doubtful upon a strictly grammaticnl construction of the paragraph, it accords with what we believe to have been the purpose of Congress, viz.. to include within the compre- hensive language of paragraph 252. together with paragraph 251. practically everything In the nature of nursery or greenhouse stock. (Tariff Hearings. 1896-7. vol. 1. pp. 1038-50.) In con- struing statutes the Intent Is to be soupht without controlling regard for mere gram- matical rules. (Endllch on Interp. of Stat., sees. 81. 295. 414, ct seq.) The protests are sustained and the collector's dec^ion Is re- versed in each ease. VIOLETS. Decline of the SpeciaKst. Anyone who will look fairly and un- derstandingly at the situation will be compelled to admit that the day has passed when the grower can make the good money growing violets that he did a few years ago. In our estimation, there are several reasons that cause us to arrive at this conclusion. First is the overproduction that always occurs when someone sees somebody else having what looks Ifke a good thing, and all plunge into it. This, then, leads to another thing, the lessening demand when the product becomes too plentiful and com- mon, and this always to the result that the best paying customers, those who have the most money to spend for flow- ers, naturally turn away and look for something that is not so constantly be- fore them. Another reason is that violets never seem to be grown with equal success year after year, even when they receive the same careful, painstaking attention, due, I think, much to atmospheric con- ditions over which we have no control, and not thoroughly understood, often blocking our efforts for what otherwise gave promise of a fine crop. Notwithstanding these and other rea- sons, violets hold a place, and always will, by reason of their color and fra- grance, that nothing else will till, and will continue to be grown ; but I incline to the opinion that it will be more and more by the individual grower, in con- nection with his other stock, for his own trade, rather than by the specialist, mainly for two reasons: For the specialist it is yearly becom- ing more and more risky, owing to de- crease and uncertainty in prices. The general grower will take them up because he so often wants them on short notice and has not the time to send for them and, owing to the lessened call for them, finds it unprofitable to have a regular daily consignment of them, as at present 1206 The Weekly Florist?' Review. April 2S, 1904. prices those that he is compelled to lose more than counterbalance his profits. He will find that if he has a small house of his own for immediate use he can make them pay their general averajje in his profits on the whole establish- ment. It will be necessary for him to bestow the same constant care on his violft house as he does on his rose, car- nation and other houses, being ever alert that they are in no wise necrlected or un- cared for, as they will be more certain to show it than the other houses do, if possible, although they all must have the care in order to have the best results. A General Grower's Beginning. If you have come to the cletermiuation to grow a house for yourself, it is time that you were planning for it, get- ting any repairing done that may be needed, all the old woodwork removed and old soil cleared out. Then treat the paths and borders to a good liberal coat of fresh lime, too heavy to be called a dusting, and syringe heavily enough to slack the same, letting it lie several days. If it is possible close the house tightly and fumigate heavily with sul- phur, once at least, and twice would be better, with a few days intervening. Then give all the woodwork a good painting. All of this in order that the house may be in the best of shape for your violets when you get ready tc plant the house. What I have said refers to the grower who has to convert to violets a house that he has been using for other pur poses. Of course, where you can do so I would by all means advise building a new house especially for them, one great reason being that they seem to de- light in new quarters. However, I should not hesitate to try the other quarters if this were not possible. Do I hear you say that you have no house suitable? Perhaps, still we have tried them in nearly all styles of houses and find that vou can grow them with care in any of them, only you will have to adapt your cultural care to the ex- posure and style of house, and if I wanted to grow them I should not let this stand in my way, only be sure that you take a house that has plenty of ventilation, as this is very essential. E. E. Shuphelt. CARNATION NOTES.- WEST. Indoor Summer Culture. I just want to say that if you aie going to grow some of your carnations inside this summer, it will pay you to pet them planted just as soon as you can. The end of April or the first half of May I consider the best time to plant them. It is not so hot then as it is in June or later and there is no doubt about the carnation liking a cool tem- perature to take hold and start growing. If you put up your soil last fall you vrill have good soU to plant in, but if you neglected it last fall, and had none left last summer, you will hardly be in shape to give your carnations a good show. Better plant them in the field and house them as early as you can. A few years ago, when Jubilee first came out we planted our JubUees on the benches in the spring. It worked so well that we jumped to the conclusion that indoor culture was the proper way of growing 'lamations, regardless of va- riety. We tried other varieties but found that in most cases our success was not so good as when the plants were out in the field a couple or three months. They get a sturdy growth on them in the field that we have never been able to get inside on most varieties. After that we confined the indoor culture to such vari- ties as Jubilee and Bradt and a few oth- ers that transplant poorly. Most of them have been discarded and now we plant only Mrs. Lawson on the beds in the spring. I do not think that we will ever plant all our carnations inside from pots, but only such varieties as transplant poorly. That it pays to handle such varieties in that maimer I am sure, but I feel equally certain that if there is any gain in indoor culture for most varieties, it is not enough to compensate you for throwing out all the old plants before June in order to replant. And if you want to give your plants the very best show, you should have them aU planted by May 20. The advantages in indoor culture would have to be quite considerable to make us willing to sacrifice the blooms we cut during May and June and for which we find a ready sale. Just now our bed of Lawson is giving us a big cut of as fine blooms as any we could ask for and we would hate to throw them away for at least six weeks yet. A. F. J Bauk. RUST AND THRIPS. I send with this a Lawson carnatiou bud, also some leaves affected with some- thing I win call rust. The leaves are from our Glacier plants. These plants have not done at all well this winter, tho stems being short and weak and the foliage very bad. We have Lawsons next to them in the bed which are not affected at all. The cuttings taken front them are the same way, only getting worse. As a remedy we have put on two or three strong applications of Bordeaux mixture besides giving them a good spraying with kerosene emulsion just a day or two ago. We also notice that about fifty feet farther down in the house, which is 100 feet long, there are some Daybreak that are getting the same disease. Also on the side bench in same house our young stock of Glacier, Peru, Enchantress, Daybreak and others are coming to the same thing. Now 1 want you to tell me what can be done for these carnations in order to clear the house of this rust, for we think we have a pretty bad case. And about the Lawson bud. you will notice that its petals have white spots on them similar to those described in your valuable paper as made by thrips. Our entire Lawson crop shows the work of thrips, if that is what it is. In order to cheek this we tiied smoking six times a week for three weeks, except one night, and burning cayenne pepper in the house for half a dozen nights, besides, using three eighteen-pound packages in the 100- foot house. After this was aU done our regular weekly smoking was continued till now. We could see no marked improve- ment in our blossoms. There are other varieties in the same house which seem to be hardly affected at all. We would like to know if there is any way of getting rid of this pest. The smoking was made very strong, using three pans. We spray the entire bed often, have good sun and good ventilation. J. W. M. The leaves you sent are badly affected with common carnation rust. Glacier seems to be quite a favorite with this disease, and so does Daybreak. The latter was always sure to have some rust on it as long as we have grown it. This disease is not feartd so much, by the expert carnation grower, as it was ten years ago. Bordeaux mixture and ker- osene emulsion will not help you much in fighting it, but dusting your plauts with air slaked Hme and syringing only enough to keep off red spider will check it materially. Pick off all the badly affected leaves before dusting the plants. Unless the plants are too weakened they will grow free from it in a little while after being planted in the open ground. If you could keep the plants dry overhead all winter you would have very little trou- ble with this disease, as it remains dor- mant as long as it is kept perfectly dry, which of course is impossible to do in a greenhouse in the winter. Excessive syringing will aggravate it, and especially if the plants are in a weakened condition. The bud of Lawson showed those white and brown spots we too often see on this variety at this time of the year. While I believe that Mr. Thrips is re- sponsble for these to a certain extent, I a.lso think that the hot sun is responsible for at least half of the damage. During the winter there may be many thrips in your house, and they will cause white spots on your Lawsons and some of the red varieties, but the spots do not turn brown like they do at this season. The thrips bruise the petal and then the hot sun burns the bruised parts. J. W. M. does not say just when he did the smok- ing, but I presume it was while the pres- ent crop of buds was on the plants. If it was as recent as any time during this month it is too early to expect the blooms to be free from the spots. The half open bud may have been bruised several weeks ago, as the thrips are very tiny and they work themselves between the petals long before the buds begin to show color. I would smoke only a couple of times each week, and put a good shade on the glass over the Lawsons and see if that does not help matters a good deal. Do not make the shade too dense, but just enough to break the force of the sun. Give them plenty of water and ventila- tion. " A. V. J. Baitr. CRICKETS ON CARNATIONS.

If any of the readers of The Heview have had experi- ence in combating this pest we should very much like to hear of their experi- ence and remedies. A. F. J. Baur. SUMMER CULTURE INDOORS. [A paper by Peter Fisher, of Ellis. Mass.. read before the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club, April 20, lUW.] I have been asked to speak to you to- night on the carnation. It would be a waste of time to attempt a lengthy re- view in the progress made in the develop- ment and improvement of this popular flower during recent years, as it is no doubt fresh in your minds. As compared with five or six years ago the carnation of to-day looms up Mke a new creation, scarcely recognizable as a descendant from the family from which it has evolved. Strong and vigorous, of mam- moth proportions, in beautiful and varied shades of color; and the end is not yet. With this change in general character- istics has also come a change in modes of culture. Where a few years ago it was considered the proper time to house ear- nations from the field in Septembei, we find them being planted in July. The latter part of August is now considered late. Experiments have also been made in exclusive indoor culture and this method is what I want to say a few words upon tonight. The first requisite to successful indoor culture is properly constructed carnation houses. They must be large and airy, with ample ventilation on both sides of the ridge and in the side walls, the latter to be used judiciously. By that I mean opened on cool or cloudy days or during the night, but closed when a hot, dry wind is blowing and vegetation out- doors is wilting. If opened on such a day, or succession of days, red spider is sure to cause trouble. A very convenient type of house, with which I have been experimenting, is of the following dimensions: Length 300 feet, -width thirty-three feet, height to ridge fifteen feet, height of sides five feet, three feet being glass, with side ventilators and ample ventilation at the ridge. Last season we built a house cf this size with detached roof ventilators. This season we have nearly completed ore of similar size with continuous ventila- tion on both sides of the ridge, using 30-inch glass in same. My purpose is to • (est the merits of both systems. An- jther 300-foot house has continuous top rentilators. but without anv on the sides. Cn this I have grown with excellent re- mits some of our latest varieties. My ntention is to plant directly from pots into the three different styles of houses md carefully note the results. The advantages of indoor culture in- ?Iude perfect control of conditions neces- sary for the sticcessful culture of the plants. They are not subject to the ex- tremes of a dry or wet season, or often extremes of both, which invariably causes stem-rot. You save the time and labor of one planting. You don't check the plants as is the case when Kfted from the field, which process has always seemed to me to be unnatural and gives some varieties. a .check from which it takes weeks to recover, and the larger the plants the more they are affected. Indoor-grown plants give a steadier sup- ply of blooms, are not so liable to crop and are usually of better form and quality, invariably giving a longer stem. Again, there are no doubt disadvant- ages to this method, especially with the average florist, who needs his flowers luring the early summer months and who .:annot afford to throw them out in or- der to plant into the benches before the voung stock gets pot-bound. But if properly arranged there are few who eannot spare at least one house for trial. And where a grower has, say, from 20.- 000 to 40,000 feet of glass, or more, and besides carnations grows chrysanthemums or other quickly developing crops, a little forethought will always arrange sufficient space so as to be available when time for planting comes around. The time for propagating the cuttings to be used for all-bench culture will de- pend upon the varieties and time when siaee is available. Slow-growing or late- blooming sorts ought to be propagated early in any case. But where they are of free and easy growth they may be rooted any time from January to April as required, first potting them into a 2 or 2%-inch ptit, according to the strength of the cutting, and repotting until required for benches. But great care should be exercised never to let them get stunted or pot-bound; a 3V>- inch pot ought to be about the limit in which to. have them growing at planting time, as larger sizes take up too much valuable space. Planting can be done with excellent results any time from February to July. 1 prefer May or June, the distance be- tween the plants being governed by the variety and season when propagated. Strong growing sorts planted before May will require twelve to fifteen by nine inches, weaker sorts or later propaga- tions correspondingly less, but in no case should free-growing sorts b© planted closer than eight by twelve inches. This insures a better circulation of air around the plants during summer, and Ught during winter, which means better stems and quality of blooms, with few if any of second quality. I prefer benches four feet wide to those of five feet or more, as the plants get a much better circulation of air. An extra path in the house is not waste space, for you always get more and bet- ter stems and blooms along the sides of the benches. Care should be exercised not to over-water the plants, as the car- nation thrives best in a moderately moist soil and excess, of moisture will cause the soil to become sour. Always damp down the paths and under the benches freely during hot or sunny days. Fumigate regularly every week for greenfly and syringe every ten days with salt water, two ounces to a common pail, for red spider. No doubt some of the objections to this indoor culture will be the follow- ing: Attacks of red spider or green- fly; over-watering and souring the soil. And yet we have just those same con- ditions to contend with in the field, where it is often very difficult to subdue the insects and we have no power over the excess of moisture, usually accom- panied by severe attacks of rust on vari- eties so inclined. Under glass we can keep those evils under control, the worst condition with which we have to contend being excessive heat. Yet I doubt if the plants suffer as much from this, providing proper ventilation and atmos- pheric moisture are maintained, as they do in the field when a dry, hot wind causes them to wilt. Anything really worth having in this world costs something, and we usually pay the full price. 'This is well, as we are more apt to appreciate it when once obtained. To produce and put upon the market a new carnation often costs far more than the average grower thinks, in time, patience and hard cash, before be- ing tested and its cultural requirements understood. How often have we heard of some originator, on the eve of reap- ing his hard-earned reward, losing al- most his entire stock of some promising new variety in the field, as the result of an unfavorable season, either too wet or too dry. I have come to the con- clusion that it does not pay to run this risk and to my mind indoor culture is the solution. It will be adopted gradu- ally no doubt, but I venture to predict that five years from now few carnations will be grown in the field. There never was a time when a better all around grade of carnation blooms was put on the market, never a time when we growers had less excuse for failing to produce them. With improved varie- ties to work upon and modern facilities at hand for their successful cultivation it clearly becomes a duty, not only to ourselves professionally but to the flower loving and consuming public, to place cur "product on the market in the best possible condition to insure their con- tinued popularity and lasting qualities. Flowers have passed the stage of mere luxuries, they have become a daily neces- sity and among them the carnation is neither last nor least. FLORISTS ADVISE AMATEURS. - The florists of Madison, Wis., and neighboring towns are active members of their local horticultural society and do much practical work in guiding the ama- teurs to safe paths. At the meeting April 22 Wm. Toole, of Baraboo, the extensive grower of pansies, said: "If you want flowers all summer, yoj must put out the plants in the spring and also sow some seed at the same time. If the seed is sown now and until the mid- dle of May plants will begin to bloom in August. They will do best in a medium clay and loam soil. The soil must be well fertilized and cultivated thoroughly all the time. It is not so necessary to water the plants every night as it is to keep the soil well stirred around the plant. The flowers as soon as they reach full size should be picked from the plant if a continual bloom is desired. ' ' Frank Ovenden, foreman for Fred Eentschler, discussed bedding plants, .is follows: "The soU for nearly all kinds of bed- ding plants is similar. If one is making a new bed the chances are that the soil is not what it should be. If this is so, dig out about a foot deep and fill in as follows : "Take well rotted sod or rich, black soil, not marsh soil, about a foot deep. Spread over it a liberal dressing of well rotted manure, about two inches thick. Dig well and thoroughly mix. Hake weU and fine, leaving the center somewhat highest. Just a fine dressing of bone- meal given before raking will give color 1208 The Weekly Florists' Review, April 28, 1904. and quality to the flowers, but should be used sparingly. ' ' The geranium is the oldest, best known and most popular of all bedding plants. It is easy of cultivation and will stand more hard usage than any other, therefore it is often despised and put in 'any old place' and neglected, and then abused because it does not flower well. If given a good location with proper environments it will reP^J" the gardener better than any other bed- der Though the geranium does fairly well in a partially shaded location it should, if possible, have the full benefit of the sun. Plant them about a foot apart and give plenty of water. Keep them weU watered through the summer and all faded flowers pinched off and there will be a mass of bloom aU sum- mer and fall, till frost comes. "The best kind of geraniums to plan„ are young stock which are propagated by cuttings from September to February. They are vigorous, healthy, stocky and will grow lapidly. They have the finest flowers and foliage and bloom more free- ly than old stock. Old, saved-over plants that have been stowed away in the cellar all winter or in some window exposed to the hot, dry atmosphere of the house never give satisfaction as bedding plants. They are too large and lean-looking, bearing small clusters of small flowers. They have but few leaves, which are usu- ally small and far apart. If one cuts them back before planting it will be half the summer before one gets any good from them. The only place where an old 'saved-over' can be used is in an urn out in the cemetery. The best varie- ties for bedding are, among the doubles, S. A. Nutt, a bright crimson, and very thriftv grower and great bloomer; Brii- ant, a scarlet, a good, standard variety, but rapidly giving place to the Alphonse Bicard, a very bright vermilion scarlet; Beaute Poitevine, a salmon pink shaded very light at the outer edge of petals; Jean Viaud, a soft,' pure pink; Frances Perkins and Montmort; La Favorite, the standard double white. "There are but few single geraniums used for bedding.- The best are Queen of the West and General Grant, scar- lets. Nearly all the whites are good. There is one single geranium that stands high up in the list of bedders, E. G. Hill, a salmon pink. No bed of geraniums is complete without a border and I know of no plant better than the pretty little silver leaved geranium, Mme. Salleroi. "The next in importance is the coleus. Though they do well in a shady place, in order to bring out the beautiful colors they must have the full benefit of the sun and plenty of water. They are propa- gated by cuttings in March and April and grow very rapidly, especially as the weather grows warmer, for they are a hot weather plant. "I put cannas and caladinms together as caladiums are seldom used except with cannas. A bed of cannas with two or three castor beans or . an African ba- nana in the center and surrounded with caladiums is indeed a very fine bed. It gives a tropical appearance and a cooling effect in hot weather. When ona has a large lavrn they are one of the finest beds to be had." in Great Britain will be of interest. The extract is from an article in the Gardeners' Magazine for April 12, 1902: "During February and March the work of dahlia propagation is in full swing. The large ground roots kept through the winter, and such pot' roots as may be required of some varieties, are half buried in soil over pits in propa- gating houses, through which pass hot- water pipes. Growths are thrown up from a circle of eyes formed round the base of the previous year's main stem. As soon as they are three inches or so in length, they are taken off and placed round the sides of small pots in a pre- pared suitable compost, plunged in a heated dung or hot-water frame, where they make roots in from three to five weeks, according to the time of year; they are then potted singly in thumb pots, returned to a close frame till root action commences, gradually hardened off, and in April placed in a cold frame for the execution of orders. "It is usual for the green plants un- sold or retained to be stood close to- gether on an ash bottom in a cold frame; they are abundantly watered overhead in dry weather, and in the autumn cut down, turned out of the pots, and dried; they are then known as 'pot roots,' and are very useful for sending long distances during the winter months, and for the execution of orders at that season of the year." DAHLIA PROPAGATION. 1 "" In view of the recent discussion with regard to dahlia propagation, the fol- lowing from the pen of Richard Dean, descriptive of "The Dahlia Industry" SOMETHING FOR THE STREET. Will you or some of your readers kind- ly make some helpful suggestions. A customer wants a row of plants out near the curb on a prominent street. Cannas were tried last year but were not en- tirely satisfactory. Direct sun does not reach them tUl about 11 a. m. and be- tween 3 and 4 p. m. they are in the shade of trees on the other side of the street. Something showy without being very elaborate or expensive is wanted. What will serve the purpose! Also, is the water hyacinth safe or satisfactory for an aquarium? We get many helpful hints from the Review and always look through the classified list when in need of plants. F. A. F. From the limited amount of sunlight that this row of plants would get it is not easy to suggest any shovry flowering plants. It is too shady for geraniums or salvias, and, as cannas were tried, it is supposed that something rather tall is wanted. Why not plant a row of some free-flowering herbaceous plant? Rud- beckia Golden Glow, the dwarf double sunflower, Tritoma PfitzerU, or still bet- ter, the perennial phlox, either of these would make a fine show and last a long while in bloom. Now, I can scarcely imagine a row of flowering plants "out near the curb" of the street; that would be outside the property line and would, I should imag- ine, have a ginger bread sort of appear- ance unless the whole street was so em- bellished. If this row of plants is put there to define the property line, as fences are, then I should decidedly say don't pnt either bedding or herbaceous plants there, because they would be out of place. Plant a row of the beautiful little shrub, Berberis Thunbergi, pretty, neat and attractive in flower, foliage and fruit. Left to its own free growth it is compact and graceful, or it can be kept to a smaller or more formal shape with shears. It is there all the year and far more pleasing, as well as suitable for the position, than any of our summer-flower- ing tender plants. The water hyacinth is all right for an aquarium, but it is a most rampant grower, as the conditions of the rivers of Florida testify. As it spreads throw away the older plants or it will soon cover the entire surface of the water. It is safe in every other way. W. S. HYDROCYANIC FUMIGATION. Results of Various Experiments. The most widely used insecticide for greenhouse fumigation is tobacco in its various forms. In many instances it is without doubt the cheapest and safest insecticide to use against plant lice and a few other greenhouse insects. Its ef- fectiveness, however, under the best con- ditions is not great, as it requires re- peated use at short intervals. Moreover, it may cause serious injury to the plants. In the case of violets it has been found to be of only slight value against plant lice working in the bud, and while it may destroy the so-called green aphis when exposed it is not effective in killing the brown aphis. On the other hand, tobacco may prove injurious to the foliage and flowers, bringing on epidemics of spot. Tobacco is also useless against scale in- sects in general and mealy bugs. The de- sirability of some insecticide as easy to use as tobacco but more penetrating and effective and less likely to injure plants was apparent and became absolutely necessary in our study of the diseases of certain crops, write A. F. Woods and P. H. Dorsett in their bulletin on the use of hydrocyanic acid gas. Hydrocyanic acid gas since its intro- duction by the United States Division of Entomology in 1886 as a remedy against scale insects of the orange has proved of great value as an insecticide. Previous to our experiments early in 1895, though it had been occasionally tried in greenhouses, hydrocyanic acid was not recommended on account of its injurious effects upon plants. As a result of a series of careful experiments we found that, as a rule, plants were less injured by a short exposure to a relatively large amount of gas than they were by a long exposure to a relatively smaU amount. On the other hand, a strong dose for a short time was the most effective in kill- ing insects. Different species and va- rieties of plants, however, were found to vary remarkably in their power of with- standing the poison. This in many cases appeared to depend upon the open or closed condition of the breathing pores, as well as upon peculiarities of the cell contents. Fumigation an hour or two after sundown, with the temperature as low as practicable, was found to give the best results. In all cases the foliage must be perfectly dry or it may be in- jured by the gas. In each case the proper amount of gas to use and the length of exposure must be determined by experiment. It is impossible at pres- ent to give a general rule applicable to all plants in ail stages of development. When the conditions are once determined fl;ey must be strictly followed to insure the g-reatest success. The cyanide, as well as the gas made from it, is exceedingly poisonous, and both must be used with the trreatest care. TliO following are some of the crops en vhich the gas has been successfully Ferns — For Davallia Mooreana infested April 28, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review* 1209 with a scale insect .075 gram of ninety- eight per cent potassium cyanide should be used for each cubic foot of space to bo fumigated, not deducting the space occupied by the plants. Length of expos- ure, twenty minutes. Adiantum cuneatum and A. Ballii have been tried on a small scale and were not injured by the treat- ment. Coleus — Golden Bedder, Verschaffeltii and others; 24,000 plants in pots, badly infested with the white-tailed mealy bug. The house contained 15,587 cubic feet of space. Treated at the rate of one-tenth of a gram of ninety-eight per cent cyanide of potassium per cubic foot of space for twenty minutes, one hour after dark. Mealy bug all killed and plants not injured in the least. All other means of destroying mealy bug had been tiied without effect. Large numbers of the common mealy bug were also killed by this treatment, but it was not nearly so effective as for the white-tailed mealy bug. All coleus cuttings made by the United States Propagating Gardens for the past two years have been fumigated before being prepared for the cutting bed. Double Violets — Marie Louise, Lady Campbell and others. For plant lice and general fumigation fifteen-hundredths of a gram of ninety-eight per cent cyanide of potassium for each cubic foot of space is required. The exposure if made ac- cording to directions will not hurt the plants in any stage of growth. The gas has been used on a large scale in fumi- gating violets for the past three years with the greatest success, only a few treatments during the season being re- quired. Length of exposure, twenty to thirty minutes. Leaf-eating larvse, slugs, millipedes, cutworms, etc., when exposed are killed as well as plant lice. Bed spiders, however, are not entirely eradi- cated by the treatment. The foliage of single violets, like California and Princess of Wales, are sometimes slightly injured by the stronger dose of gas. A weaker dose (one-tenth of a gram potassium cyanide per cubic foot) should be used vrhen they are to be treated. Eoses — Perle des Jardins, Mermet and • Bride. The young growth on roses is particularly sensitive and has been more or less injured in all our experiments. Carnations— Scott, Garfield, Meteor and McGowan will stand one-tenth of a gram ninety-eight per cent cyanide per cubic foot of space for fifteen minutes without material injury. This will kill about ninety per cent of the plant lice, but will not kill thrips. The use of the gas for carnations needs to be more care- fully investigated before it is recom- mended. The same is true of chrysan- themums, on which it has been tried with only partial success, the young growth being very sensitive. BOSTON. The Market. Cut flower prices have hardened con- siderably during the past week, continued cold weather and an increase in social activity each assisting. American Beau- ties bring $25 for the best, but quite good stock is to be had for from $10 to $15. Brides and Bridesmaids are of good quality, $6 to $8 being the ruling price, extra fine stock selling at from $10 to $12 per hundred, and poor grades down as low as $8 per thousand. Liberty brings $20 to $25, and a variety of hybrids from $2 to $16. Carnations bring from $1 to $2, fancy stock being $3 to $4, and a few selling even higher. Quality continues first-class. Violets are still fairly plentiful at 40 to 50 cents per hundred for the best. Liliuiu candidum is more plentiful, and sells better than Lilium longiflorum. Sweet peas seem to be as numerous as in July, the best going for $1, ordinary grades selling for one-fourth that price. Antir- rhinum, stocks, pansies, violets, lilacs and other flowers are plentiful. Gladioli are seen in one or two stores. Club Meeting. The last meeting of the Boston Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, on April 20, was very successful, about fifty members being present. Five new members were elected. President J. A. Pettigrew was appoiuted chairman of a reception com- mittee, which wiU include members from the various horticultural interests in Bos- ton and vicinity, for the coming meetings of the C. S. A. and A. R. S. in Boston. It was voted to award $50 in special prizes at each of these exhibitions. Peter Fisher's paper on carnations, elsewhere reported, caused a very inter- esting and instructive discussion in which many of the members participated. For commercial growers it seemed to be the opinion that indoor culture will eventually supersede the present plan of lifting from the field, but the fact that it pays growers to run their plants the last of June may prevent its general adoption. In regard to fertilizers, Mr. Fisher uses sheep manure and bone. In using the latter he mixes one-half with his com- post in the fall, the remainder in the spring; he did not measure quantity used. He considers horse manure equal to cow manure, especially if the latter is fresh. Mr. Patten has had excellent results from placing two inches of cow manure in the bottom of his benches and mixing none in his compost. He has grown equally good carnations in coal ashes, meadow mud and loam by mixing other needful ingredients. Mr. Fisher considers there is no neces- sity to hose plants for red spider if plants are syringed once in ten days with salt and water, two tablespoons of salt to a pail of water. Eust will be entirely overcome by indoor culture. J. K. M. L. Farquhar said naphthalate of soda was recommended to him by an eminent French professor as a cure for rust. For fumigating Mr. Fisher uses tobacco dust. M. A. Patten considers watering of outdoor stock, if it can be thoroughly done, of great benefit, giv- ing instances to prove it. Mr. Fisher does not believe sub-irrigation will be generally adopted ; it is too expensive and too dangerous. Charles Sander spoke of the "critter" which causes trouble to outdoor blooming stock by stinging the shoot below the bud. Fumigation clears it away indoors. James Wheeler spoke of his acquaint- ance with Peter Fisher on coming to America, and stated that Mr. Fisher wrote to him from America nineteen years ago, when he was coming over, to be sure to bring him a plant each of Croton Chelsoni, white cyclamen and Malmaison carnation. He was then with the late David Allan, and even in those days had a strong regard for the divine tlower. The speaker denounced the com- parisons of Fiancee and Enchantress re- cently given in a contemporary. Others spoke in a similar vein. J. W. Duncan gave a list of varieties disseminated by Peter Fisher. Those of his own raising included Edith Foster, Freedom, Boston Market, Gov. Wolcott, Mrs. Lawson, Enchantress and Mrs. M. A. Patten. Other seedlings are being tried, some of which will create a sen- sation later. John Farquhar spoke of visits he has paid to carnation establishments iu Europe, including Turner 's and others, in England; Penary 's, in Germany, and Vilmorin's and others, in France. Ken- neth Finlayson advocated the use of Mal- maison blood to produce strength of stem, size of flower and fragrance. Mr. Fisher has never used any of this blood. He has always selected extra fine plants of varieties to be crossed, and uses the very finest flowers when the plants are at their zenith; to this he attributes much of lus success. The Chicago Carnation Co. showed a vase of The Cardinal, which created a favorable impression. Emil Johansson, gardener to J. E. Eothwell, showed a finely flowered plant of Odontoglossum Pescatorei carrying forty-five flowers on a spike grown in leaf mold, also a poorer specimen grown in fern fiber. This pro- voked a discussion of the merits of the two composts in which Messrs. Johansson, Craig, Pettigrew, Finlayson and others took part. Various Notes. Doyle made a fine display of the yellow Calla Elliottiana in one of his windows the past week. Horse show week was the occasion of numerous receptions and dinner parties. Ladies attending the show carried more flowers than ever before. Violets seemed to be the favorite. Violets mixed with English primroses were also popular, as were white roses and gardenias. An immense amount of damage was doue during the past winter to trees and shrubs in this section by field mice and rabbits. At the Arnold Arboretum some thousands of shrubs are ruined, many of them very valtiable ones. As snow lay on the ground continuously for fully three months, these animals were driven by hunger to eat the bark from trees and shrubs. N. F. McCarthy & Co. 's auction sales of nursery stock continue to attract plenty of buyers. Eoses, especially, are selling well, ovring to the heavy mortality in outdoor stock the past winter. The governor's proclamation this year recommends the destruction of injurious insect pests on Arbor day. This advice is excellent, as our gypsey, brown-tail, tussock and other moths, also beetles, canker worms and similar foes are very numerous. The trouble is that Arbor day comes too soon, April 30, for some of these pests to show themselves. Weather eonelitions continue to be quite extraordinary for April. Temperatures as low as from 16 to 20 degrees have been recorded as late as the 23d, and showers have mostly been of snow. Tn our neighboring state of Vermont a foot of snow, fine sleighing and a temperature of zero were the conditions on the 20th. The run on the coal pile is continuous, and a change to warmer conditions will be very welcome to florists, to whom the past winter has been a very expensive one. W. N. Craig.

The market has been very erratic dur- ing the past week. The ups and dowus of the morciiry have been reflected in the receipts, and also in tin- demand for stock. The outoftmvn buyers are heard from rtguhirly, and the number of ship- ping orders going out is satisfactory', but the size of the boxes is out of pro- portion to tho supplies on hand. In some quarters it is said that the rose cut is going down, but there is still more first-class stock than the trade Mn use, and the better grades are many times sold at a sacrifice. Cheaper roses clean up better, because tho bulk of the requirements is for funeral work. Carna- tions have taken a relapse after the few days of stiflfening prices last week. There are large quantities of Easter lilies and callas stiU about, but other bulb stuff is little seen. Violets are practically out of fhe market. The receipts of smilax have increased slightly, and there is an abundance of asparagus, but it is in very good demand, as the scarcity of hardy ferns throws the call more or "less to other greens. Some of the dealers still have a few cases of ferns in cold storage, but they are all rapidly drawing near the end of their supplies, and prices are going up in consequence, as no one wishes to riui entirely out before the new crop is in sight. Various Notes. John T. Muir, manager of the estate of S. Muir, has completed the construc- tion of a row of stores and apartments at Grand boulevard and Forty-seventh street The retail flower store will shortly be removed to one of the stores in the new building and the structures and lease at the old stand, 3530 Michi- gan avenue, where the business has been located so many years, are offered for sale. The change was prompted by the fact that trade has been steadily mov- ing south for several years and by the opportunity to make a favorable ninety-nine-year lease on this admirably located corner. The bowlers held a meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the season's work preparatory to the S. A. F. contest at St. Louis." There was but one dissent- ing voice on the proposition that a try- .out should be had. and the proposition of George Asmus, that a handicap tour- nament be rolled at the same time, to keep up the interest, was generally ap- proved. Tlie committee of the Chicago Florists' Club, which has bowling mat- ters in charge, Phil Hauswirth, George Asmus and George StoUery, will prepare rules for a contest to begin at the Gcreaux alleys on Tuesday evening, May 10. when everyone interested in the club's bowling is asked to be present. P. j. Hauswirth goes to Quincy Saturday night to spend four or five days at' a state meeting of Red Men. The Fleischman Floral Co. ia moving from State street to the new store which was leased some time ago in the Railway Exchange building, at 3 Jackson boule- vard. Among the spring flowers in the market this week were peonies from New Or- leans, lilac, jonquils, narcissi and arbutus from the south. The E. F. Winterson Co. is getting in from 40,000 to 50,000 jonquils and narcissi a day. After May 1 N. C. Moore, who has bought the Morton Grove greenhouses, formerly owned by Paul Kreisman, will occupy tho sales counter in the Flower Market recently vacated by M. Winandy. J. A. Budlong is putting in a new and much larger ice box. Bassett & Washburn have 12,000 bulbs of Lilium longittorum giganteum in cold storage for summer and early autunni forcing. At the Florists' Club last Wednesday evening Prof. H. llasselbring read an es- say on coal. The Chicago Carnation Co. exhibited vases of Fiancee and The Car- dinal carnations. Fiancee has been shown several times this season and at each appearance it makes a more favorable impression. Albert Amling's addition this season will cover ground 128.x2G5. He expects to plant it to asparagus eventually, but will put in other crops at first so that he does not get his cut all in at once. Poehlmann Bros. Co. will also build two large asparagus houses this year. The John C. Moninger Co. reports that the greenhouse material business for this year is considerably ahead of last season. A. Lange has been ill for a couple of weeks and Chas. Balluff is helping out at the Monroe street store. Peter Reinberg is the Mayor's choice for delegate to the national democratic convention against Sheriff Barrett, who represents the other faction of the party. Thus far in the contest Mr. Reinberg is ahead. Visitors: — L. A. Jennings, New Cas- tle, Ind.; J. J. Van Leuven, Brighton, Mich.; Mr. Lozier, Des Moines, la. NEW YORK. The Market. Monday was the hottest April 25 in seven vears. The long delayed, snow- bound "and sidetracked spring is hcie. With a temperature of nearly 80 degrees the transition from the snow storm of a week ago is oppressive. From now rn there will be night and day work for the seedsmen and nuTserymen and the ac- complishment of six weeks will have to be completed in less than half the usual time. Never was a winter more disliked and the kick he received as '-e departed was a universal one. Extra fine sweet peas and tullos are abundant. Ford Bros, are b.iii.iring im- mense quantities of thom. The extensive carnation output of novelties from thj Cottage Gardens still keeps the force at John Young's hustling and the orchid supply at this center is always abundant and superb. Brunner is king just now, even Beauties doffing their caps to the transient favorite. The supply is abund- ant. Langjahr handles a large quantity of them daily. The warm spell will see the farewell of the violet. '.Juality imd quantity now are at low ebb. The end of the week will see their finish. Prices on all kinds of cut flowers are falling. The decline began on Monday. The week promises to still further depreciate val- ues. Narcissi and tulips were in good demand last week and prices were excel- lent, as also were lily of the valley and smilax. The spring weflding* continue abundant and the retail houses share the honors equally. Some nf the most elab- orate of the year o'JCut thi'i week. Various Notes. Charles Millang is utilisdng his con- servatories now for a choice selection of bedding plants of all kinds, a great con- venience to the city retailers without tMcilities for the proper care of perish- alilo stock. Lager & Hurrell, the orchid special- ists, of Summit, N. J., have arranged with James McManus, tlje wholesaler of West Thirtieth street, to handle their entire supply of cut orchids and are ship- ping a fine variety and quantity to him .lailv. The American Institute of New York has decided to hold a great flower, fruit and vegetable exhibition at the Herald Square Hall, November 8 to 17 inclusive. Complete arrangements have already been consummated for the big show and a new departure may be noted in the continuance of the exhibition over Sun- day, that day being made the popular day of the celebration. The committee in charge includes. Dr. Hexamer, C. H.. Allen, Dr. Taylor and Mr. Engleman. Henry & Lee, the Bermuda, China and Japan importers, have moved into very handsome and commodious ofliees, one fUght up at the old number, 97 Water street. Mr. Henry is still visiting his western patrons. The Stumpp & Walter Co. is doing a biff nursery business this season. The display at "both its stores includes every variety of fruit tree, shrub and rose worthy of cultivation. They have some exceptional values in dahlias of all the best kinds for September and October flowering. William Ghormley celebrated his "steenth" birthday on Friday last and we noted a handsome silver headed cane encrusted with violets. The Morris County Gardeners' Bowl- ines Club is growing oui'^e chesty since Mr. Duckham's recovery and Mr. Her- rington's return to this country and con- templates challenging that aggregation of veterans, the New York Club, to a series of contests. It will be a case of Russia and the Japs, so far as the ulti- mate result is concerned. It's a shame to have to do it, but unlike the Russians the New Yorkers are ready for the fray and the foe. A week from Monday evening comes the exhibit of bedding plants at tho rooms of the New York Florists' Club and the humorous lecture by WiUiam Elliott, the veteran auctioneer, and the wit of the organization. The combina- tion of exhibit and discourse should crowd the rooms. The promise for a successful outing seems already assured. Out of over 200 tickets sent to the club members only two have been returned and these were from members whose ab- sence in Europe on June 29 would pre- vent their attendance. Every member with the club's welfare at heart will be there. Remittances may be made to Charles Schenck, treasurer. The new fern, Scottii, seems to grow rapidly in practical, popular favor. Mr. Scott has already many orders booked from the leading plantsmen of the coun- try. If they can grow it as well as Mr. Scott there is no doubt of its general popularity. The friends of Alex Wallace, the gen- ial author of The Heather in Lore, Lyric and Uiy, will be pleased to know of the recovery of Mrs. Wallace from the ef- fects of a severe accident that necessi- tated a surgical operation. The Hinode Flofist Co. will soon re- move its headquarters from Seeaucus, N. J., fo Woodside, L. I., and will also erect addiiirinal greenhouses at WTiitestone, L. T., during the season. This company April 28, 1904.

Bowling. The attendance at Monday evening 's game was inexcusably light, the warm weather and the evening both making the enthusiasm scarce. A change to .» more generally desirable and convenient evening seems a necessity.

Austin Shaw. DENVER. Current Topics of Interest. Business among the retailers has been quite satisfactory. The cut flower trade has kept up remarkably well consider- ing the absence from our city of many of our best entertainers. Carnations, as usual at this time of year, are quite abundant and a few varieties of roses are also in excess of the demand. All spring flowers are rather scarce; espe- cially so are shrubs, which generally fill up a vacancy at this time of year. The recent frosts have been very detrimental to lilacs and the crop for this spring will be almost a total failure'. Conse- quently Mr. Valentine, of the Park Floral Co., is importing this popular flower from California and those already arrived have come through in pretty good condition, some of the varieties retaining their fragrance. Judicious cutting and careful packing would in- sure more satisfactory results from uuiny of the California products in t floral line. The past season has been so satis- factory that several additions are now under way with the gi'owers. Davis Bros, are adding to their carnation houses. Fred Hall is increasing his rose plant and the Park Floral Co. is building a range of carnation houses for summer use. These are of the simplest con- struction and will be' covered with light muslin through the hot summer months. The carnations now in the houses will be transferred to them and will in every respect get a field cultivation. This sys- tem has been practiced heretofore on American Beauties, with very satisfac- tory results. The transparency of the muslin admits enough light and the par- tial shade creates a longer stem growth and a better color in blossom, two de- fects impossible to overcome in the open ground in this climate. The transfer- ring of the carnations at this time of the year enables them to plant up th houses at an early date, which insures more satisfactory results in September than from those lifted from the field. Old-fashioned flower gardens are com- ing into vogue here. Shrubs and peren- nials have been in good demand this spring and an annual increase in the call for this stock is looked for here- after. Many of our natives do very -well under cultivation. The! Park Floral Co. has propagated several thousand Begonia Gloire de Lor- raine and is now shipping them east. Albert E. MaufT, of Harmon, is a candidate for alderman of his ward and, although his constituency is in the mi nority, relies upon his popularity to gratify his aspirations. The members of the Scott Floral Co. are eontemplatng a little recreation in the near future; Scott will visit St. Louis in May and Reynolds will go to California in June. Both have over- worked since they started into business last December. John Ferris, who has been growing carnations for the Colfax Avenue Floi-al Co. for the past ten years, is to become a fruit grower in the future, but thinks he will not be able to pick all the strawberries himself, so consequently is going to take into partnership one of the gentler sex. Great Divide. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The conditions of the market have changed but little from those of the previous week. The weather had a great deal to do with trade. The early part of the past week we had a snow storm, which interfered greatly with the land- scape work about town and at the World's Fair grounds. A few weddings in the west end and considerable funeral work among the down-town florists is about all that can be" reported this week. The opening of the great World's Fatr on Saturday should make trade in cut flowers lively. Prominent men from all parts of the world will take part in the opening exercises, and quite a numb'^r of orders for this occasion have been reported. The great concourse of people that the opening will attract should be of much benefit to our trade, at lea.st until the real hot weather sets in. The consignments at the wholesale houses the past week were quite heavy, and prices a trifle easier on first-class stock. Carnations arc greatly in excess of demand, with extra fine quality going at $.3, good firsts $2 and $2..50, and com- mon at $1.50 per hundred. The prices run considerably less in thousand lots. White and Lawson seem to have the best call. The rose stock is abundant at present, also of fine quality, with the prices somewhat unsettled; 6 cents buys some very fine stock. Fancy Beauties sell at from $3 to $4 per dozen. These are Urnited, the lesser grades being more plentiful, with a good demand. Sweet peas arp coming in more plentifully with a good demand at 25 and 50 cents per hundred. Lilacs are expected from the south this week. The first of these, when they arrive in good condition, gen- erally sell well. Bulb stock is overcrowd- ing the market, and it is impossible to qoute it at any regular figure. Paper Whites, Romans, tulips. Von Sions and jonciuils are most plentiful, and a lot of these have to be dumped for want of room. Harrisii and calla lilies are also equal to all demands. Plant dealers at LTnion Market report a fair business the past week. With warmer weather the bedding plant trade will be at its height by next week, an.l peddlers will again be seen in the resi- dence districts, with planting going on in all parts of the city. Seedsmen, too, are having a busy time of it just now. Various Notes. Superintendent Perry, at the World's Fair grounds, reports that comparativelv little of the landscape work remains +o be done, and that the remaining work can be easily accomplished by the end of this week for the opening of the fair. There are now some four hundred land- scape gardeners at work on the grounds, which number will be increased to 600 for this week. Prof, and Mrs. William Trelease were at home Sunday, April 24, to meet the members of the St. Louis Cactus Society. Charles Juengel reports that during the heavy snow storm of last week forty reet of one of his greenhouses fell under the weight of the snow, causing considera- i)le damage' to bedding stock. Henry Ostertag reports a good trade in wedding decorations and funeral work the past week. The Riessen Floral Co. is kept busy with hotel decorations. They have quite a number of orders for receptions for this week. Mrs. Buechel and a number of girls are always busy with some kind of work. Phil Goebel, of Tower Grove park, has a fine lot of plants ready for planting out, which will begin early in May. This park is one of the brigntest spots in our city. The head of the park, James Gur- ney. and his able assistant, Phil Goebel, will make this park the most attractive in the city for World's Fair visitors. Tliis park does not come under the juris- diction of the city park department- George Heimgartner, who came here with Mr. Karlstrom, of Hartford, Conn., to complete the landscape work fur their state building, was sent to the Emer- gency City hospital, and was declared in- sane by the superintendent and Dr. R. L. Moore. The latter was sent by your correspondent, who was notified of the young man 's condition by Theodore Wirth, superintendent of parks at Hart- ford, Conn. The young man will b^ given every attention until some of his people arrive and take charge of him. Bowling.

I2I2 The Weekly Florists* Review, April 28, 1904. PHILADELPHIA. The Market, The week openoJ witli an incieased supply of flowers, many cf tuom of rathor poorer qualiry, due to the sud- Idcn change in the we^.llie-. The demand most satisfactory last week has fallen off and prices are receding. Sweet peae continue active; prices for fancy white and lavender are abuvo market quota- tions on some days. Vi inlets .iro still with us and sell well. Daffodils are ex- ceptionally fine. W. K. Harris has a fine lot of Emperor. Daisies ami i^ansies sold pretty well. Roses an; plentiful; the best are in demand. Carnations are fair stock, not nearly as good as a week ago. The Florists' Club. A special meeting of the club was held last Monday evening to eudorse Edwin Iionsdale for the position of gardener at Girard College, to succeed the late George Huster. Prompt as was the action of the club, it became known be- fore the meeting that the powers that be had already come to an understanding with Mr. Lonsdale regarding his taking charge of the college greenhouses and grounds. The appointment is a splendid one and should make this oasis in the desert blossom even more abundantly than in the past. An April Wedding. A pretty idea carried out recenty on Walnut street for a wedding breakfast was the canopying of adjoining yards with wild snulax. In this improvised dining-room carpeted with rugs, eighteen small tables were placed for the guests at the wedding breakfast. Each tabic was adorned with a different kind of spring flower. The bride 's table had lilies of the valley. A table each was decorated with daffodils, daisies, mig- nonette. Narcissus poeticus, heliotrope, pink sweet peas, white sweet peas, pur- ple sweet peas, freesia, and so on. A beautiful idea, but rather a tempting of providence, one would think, in this month of showers. The church old St. Peter 's, with its high pews and galler- ies, was put in holiday attire with Eastet lilies and pink carnations, a plan effect- ively carred out by Hugh Graham, in whose hands both house and church were placed. Various Notes. H. H. Battles had an elaborate wed ding decoration on Saturday, both in church and house. White sweet peas, lilies and choice ferns were largely used. Pennock Brothers have been very busy with handsome wedding orders on Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. J. J. Habermehl's Sons had the dec- orations for the banquet given by tbc National Casket Company. Joseph Eenard's Sons, of Unionville, Pa., have purchased the place and green- bouses of E. J. Cloud, at Avondale, Ches- ter Co., Pa. August Doemling is sending in somo fine Liberties to S. S. Pennock. W. E. Fowler & Co., Silverside. Del., are sending in excellent Brides ami Maids to C. F. Edgar & Co. Joseph Johnson, of Hightstown, i^ sending probably the best violets coming to this city to the Flower Market. The junior partner of the firm of Hos- kins & Giles, in Reading, was in town this week. Edward Eeid had some fine shipping orders this week. M. Eice has arrived safely in Europe. A calceolaria show, a novelty here, is being held in Horticultural Hall, Fair- mount park, this week.

Mention The Review when you write. BUFFALO. Current Comment. While the people of the large eastern cities had the opportunity to sun them- selves at a game of baseball, we were treated to nine inches of snow, and sleighing was resumed. Still, we were no worse treated than many other cit- ies in our latitude, only if we don 't get more summer than last year it can be truthfully said that our climate con- sists of eight months winter and four months d bad weather. Seriously, it is the most backward season the writer can remember in thirty-six years. Last year we sowed sweet peas in the open ground in the month of March. On this day, April 25, not a furrow is turned, not a pansy blossom or even a dandelion to be seen, and the misguided warblers who left their sunny southern homes last month have been seeking shelter in bams and thick woods, and their voice is not heard. This is going to make a very short season for the nurserymen to handle their deciduous trees and shrubs. There has been nothing very momen- tous in the iloricultural line of late; business fairly good with an abundance of material to do it with. A look in at W. F. Kasting's commission house laso week was convincing that flowers were plentiful, although those of good qual- ity were moving off. What with moving into his large new quarters, attending democratic state conventions and adver- tising Adiantum Croweanum, W. F. has been a very busy man of late. Prof. Cowell is home from Jamaica with a large assortment of West Indian plants. The Professor penetrated somi! of the tropical jungles that he thinks were not previously botanically explored. At any rate he has brought back sev- eral plants new to science. He escaped all snake and tarantula bites, and looks as tough as the commander of a Japa- nese cruiser. Among the visitors in town of late was Mr. Gowdy, representing the Henry A. Dreer Co., and James W. Begbie, in the interest of Arthur T. Boddington. ilr. Bfigbie was accompanied by his wife. This is a good idea, having the "Missus" along, and in many cases would redound to the benefit of the home ufl!,-e. A novelty in spring flowers this year are dahlias. The William Scott Co. has been cutting a number of tine blooms of late, but they were not quite in by Easter, because they were not planted in the bed before the third week in Jan- uary, and Easter was very early. But planted about December 20, there would be no diiEculty in getting them into full bearing by April 1. A vase of the beautiful single Twentieth Cen- tury is as fancy a dish as you would want to lay before a queen, and there are many other beautiful varieties. "The Society for Beautifying Buf- falo" had a bUl introduced at Albany to empower the mayor to create a for- estry commission. The three commis- sioners were to serve without pay but hire a superintendent, with necessaj-y labor, etc., and they were to take charge of all the street trees, dictate what should be planted in certain streets, caie for tha welfare of the trees, remove un- sightly ones, rent or buy land and raise young trees to sell to the property own- ers, etc. The mayor very properly ve- toed it, and it 's a dead bill. Uniformity of planting and the proper care ami preservation of our street trees is much to be desired, but the municipality going into the nursery business is, in the writ- er's opinion, very absurd. I am an ardent advocate of municipal ownership of public utilitiea, which must essentially be monopolies, but begin at the ones that bleed us, the gas and electric light- ing, telephone, etc. We can buy trees much cheaper than a city nursery could raise them, for there is no nursery trust as yet. W. S. GRAND RAPIDa The weather since Easter lirjs been raw, rainy and very disagreeable. There were three hot July days, a transition from January to midsummer. We thought it was spring for sure, but sev- eral cold nights nipped it in the bud. No outside planting has yet been attempted. Business has been brisk, vrith a shorl/- age of flowers until this week, when trade seemed to quiet down. Save for weddings and funeral work there is not much doing. Flowers are plentiful and for the first time this winter beginning to accumulate ; long American Beauties, though, are a bit short in supply. The spring peddling wagons are in evidence, both on the streets and at the main cor- ners down-town. Plant shipping has started and promises to be the heaviest in years. All energies are being bent *o get stock in shape for the rush when it comes. The Grand Eapids Violet Co. is again having trouble in getting water. G. F. C. 12J4 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

His specialty is hardy ornamentals and ho is doing a nice business. The campus of the University of Chi- cago will be improved at a cost of .$18,- 000 this summer. A largo amount of ornamental planting will be done. The Mitchell Nursery Co., at Owa- tonna, Minn., has had about fifty men on the road the past winter and is do- ing a big shipping business this spring. The Pennsylvania Railroad is plant- ing several hundred thousand locust trees for tie timber at Conewago, Pa. The work has been going on for some time. Amsterdam, X. Y. — P. R. Mullins is doing a large business in decorative nursery stock. He has a contract for the planting of 2,500 shrubs and roses at the home of C. W. Wbitney at Lou- denville. The nurseries at Shenandoah, la., are approaching the end of the best sea- son they have ever experienced. The planting season has been unusually pro- longed and the result has been a general cleaning up in all Enes. The telegraph sends out the story of how Howard Gould tried to buy stock last Sunday morning of the William H. Moon Co., but was refused, although he promised the proprietor ' ' the biggest or- der he ever got. ' ' The Moon catalogue states that the grounds are closed on Sunday. It is noteworthy that Hydrangea pani- culata, although not introduced from Japan until 1874, is now one of the most widely distributed of plants in the United States. It is stated that some plants of the original importation are still to be found growing in the Botanical Garlcn at Washington. COST OF HAIL IN MISSOURI. The gentlemen from Missouri have been shown.

The desks of nearly all the aldermen, except a few socialists, re- ceived many designs, baskets, horseshoes and miscellaneous designs. In speaking of the flowers the leader of the social- ists said; I do not believe that the practice is con- ducive to the t>ost government of a city. It is 4rue that some of the aldermen need flowers to hide their reputations and diamonds to shine for them, but we helteve that the practice should be discontinued. It makes the council chamber look too much like a graveyard. In commenting editorially on this one of the local papers said in part : It is not difficult to believe that to the gen- tleman, flowers would suggest nothing but grave- yards, but if there is any place in this world where flowers are inappropriate, where they are not conducive of good government, good feel- ing, good fellowship, human kindness, and every- thing else that is good, that place ought to be closed by the police and kept permanently closed. There are people to whom flowers do not appeal. There are men and women who have little appreciation for the beautiful, either in nature or art; but heaven forefend that they should ever be placed in positions of com- mand where they can make their tastes a rule of life for their fellowmen. The practice of presenting flowers to newly elected and In- stalled servants of the public is a graceful custom that ought to be encouraged, not frowned upon. It may mean nothing more than a token of friendship and esteem, but friendship and esteem are something, even if • the giver Is not worthy to sit in the seats of the godly.

TOMATOES AND MELONS. I have been reading W. S. Croydon's articles in the Ke^ew on vegetable forc- ing, with much interest. I am growing tomatoes quite extensively this year, and at times have ' ' windy, ' ' or hollow, fruit. One variety will be practically worth- less; nice, large fruit, and no good, while beside them another kind will be good, the conditions apparently the same. Can it be that different varieties of tomatoes demand such different conditions'? De- cember 1 I commenced picking from a fine house; for forty days 1 picked the nicest and heaviest crop I ever had, then all at once they got very windy, almost worthless. Later on they were some better, but even now some arc windy. My houses are very light, hav- ing iron posts and four to five feet of glass on the sides; they are of the Dietsch short-span pattern. It can be no fault of inferior houses and poor light. About February 25 I began picking from a big new house. For a month all the fruit was the very best in every way, but ten days ago one variety got windy, and now are very bad. It chances to be the most prolific and best shaped va- riety that goes wrong, and this section was run a trifle cooler, too. What va- riety do you prefer? Do you grow any melons? I am at present experimenting with them. Have had a few very fine specimens, but had trouble to get good seed; it would not grow. Most I have are English varieties ; can't get any French seed to germinate. Frogmore Scarlet is the best I have found thus far. Have one on the vines now that will weigh, I judge, over eig'at pounds. What price should such fruit bring now, and what is the best market? C. D. G. The trouble you mention with your tomatoes, "windy" or hollow fruit, has never come under my notice, and I am unable to say what the cause may be, or what preventive or cure might be used. But from what you say I should think that the variety has a good deal to do with it. It might be a disease that causes the trouble, or it might be that the fruits were not sufficiently fer- tilized to develop the seed cells, of which the inside of the tomato is largely com- posed. In this case the seed would be immature, and by examining them you could find out whether this is the cause of the trouble or not. The fact of your getting good fruit from the picking in December and again in the warmer spring months, seems to point to insufficient fertilization, as it would appear that it is the fruits set through the dull winter months that are most affected by th"^* .rouble, m any case I -;°"l^\f f^^^^^'^ the variety affected and stick to those hie. vou-say do not develop the trouble it seems a pity to have to discara a heavT cVoppe? that produces large well- Sed frui't, for such a variety is hard to set. but when the fruit cannot be de- penfed on, it is not worth while to keep "Veg'Lnuig^varieties, 1 {-ave grown the old LoriUard for years, but find that a good many of the fruits S°'"\'°'\^^.^Z badly shaped at times. This I attribute to insufficient fertilization, as during the fall and spring little trouble is expe- rienced from this source; it is the truis set during the dull and short days o± winter that are apt to come badly shaped. Of late years I have depended mamly on Sutton's Best of All, the fruits of this being very uniform. It is also a healthy grower, and a good, fair jaelder. Stirling Castle is the most prohfic va- riety I have tried, though the fruits are smaller than either of the other two, and in some cases does not take the market so well. I find it a good plan to save my own seed, selecting the best fruits from the healthiest plants and saving them eitiier in the fall or late in the spring, when conditions are more natural than in the dead of winter, and the seed more cer- tain of being fully developed. If you try this plan you will know just what you have, and besides averting disappoint- ment, you will also gradually improve your strain. I do not mean to cast any reflections on the seedsmen, but no mat- ter how reliable they may be, and no matter how careful in buying their stock, it stands to reason that it would hardly pay the seed grower to make the careful selection one can do for himself, and the seeds, though true to name, are apt to be saved from all sorts and sizes of fruit. I am satisfied that there is a good deal more in this selection than the majority of growers think. The same remarks regarding the sav- ing of seed hold good with melons. I find that the English varieties are best for forcing. I have tried Frogmore Scar- let, but think Royal Sovereign is an im- provement. I have never gone into melon forcing to any extent ; in fact, I may say I am only in the experimental stage. I cannot find any dealers who have handled greenhouse melons during the winter and spring months, as they are seldom or ever to be found in the market, since there is no demand for them, but they are a delicacy that ought to take and command a good price if the trade was worked up. Such a fruit as you describe ought to be worth 25 cents per pound, and may even command more after a trade is created. A higher price would be necessary to make them a paying crop through the winter months. W. S. Crotdon, SeedJiadeNews. AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. Pres S. P.

Orlando, Fla. — J. F. Allen is doing a fine business and steadily enlarging his facilities. The market gardeners have lost prac- tu'aliy one planting. Onion sets are well cleaned up, orders more plentiful than stock. Visited Chicago. — Chas. Loeehner, of Suzuki & lida. New York and Yoko- hama. Kepokts from the east are somewhat more encouraging than those from the middle west. The backward season is responsiblo for present offerings of stocks that were '■sold out" some time ago. The city of Pittsburg has appro- priated $5,000 for the purchase of bulbs for fall planting in the parks. Shenandoah, Ia. — There was a small fire at Henry Field's seed bouse last week, but little damage was done. Within the next two weeks sweet corn and cucumber seed will be looked for and those who have the stock should not w^orry till after that. Chicago. — The official weather report shows that on April 20 the temperature did not go above 32 degrees, on April 23 it reached -79 and on April 24 it got back to 41 degrees. Boston, April 25.^Seed dealers report that there is a serious congestion of busi- ness. One firm was over 1,000 mail or- ders behind April 23 and some days must elapse before they can catch up. Counter trade is very heavy. Counter trade in general hangs along without any great spurt. The outlook is that by the end of the season it may foot up equal to previous years, but the expense in caring for it will go into the profits heavily. AVith the jobbers reports in general show that the extra fine weather of last Saturday gave an impetus to fill in or- ders the early part of the week, but the cool weather which so quickly followed put things back to where they were again. Chicago. — Little change in conditions is noted since last week, no improvement in trade and verj' little added to the number of acres planted. The rains in the early part of week shut off seeding for onion sets. Some parts of the high ground are seeded, the largest planting reported being some thirty acres on ridge land. Several days of real good weather will be needed before the average land will stand seeding.

TO MEASURE COAL IN BIN. A soliil cubii; foot of anlhrafitc coal weighs about ninety-three pounds. AVhen broken for use it weighs about fifty- four pounds. Bituminous coal, when broken up for use, weighs about fifty pounds. The consequent rule for the ap- proximate measurement of coal in a bin or box is to multiply the length in feet by the height in feet, and again by the breadth in feet, and this result by fifty- four for anthracite coal, or by fifty for bituminous coal. The result will equal the number of pounds; and to find the cumber of tons, divide by 2,000. Cadillac. Mich.— A. W.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 1225 PACIFIC COAST. San Francisco, Cal. — The busy Kear- ny street flo-wer store of Frank Pelicano & Co. has a new house manager. Arthur Chapdelaine, who during the last seven years has successfully exemplified his merit as a front man on the staff of salesmen at this store, is the young gen- tleman who has received the managerial appointment. A BEAUTY spot in California has been made of the twenty-acre garden section of the State Hospital grounds at Napa. Geo. A. Duheni, a graduate florist from San Francisco, likewise vegetable and landscape gardener, who is in charge as head gardener, is largely responsible. He is a son of a San Francisco pioneer florist, A. Duhem, now connected with Winstrom's Market street floral depot. THE EUCALYPTUS California seems to have the various climates that suit the different varieties of eucalyptus. This wonderful family of trees was introduced from Australia over forty years ago and their wonderful adaptibility to this state soon made itself manifest. The common blue gum, E. globulus, is the best known and most widely planted of the species and many hundreds of acres are planted out an- nually for fuel. They are easily grown from seed and a six-year-old tree will measure fifty feet high and yield half a cord of wood. They grow very straight and symmetrical and when cut down im- mediately grow again from the root and in five years attain another fifty feet in height. In our warmer sections of the coun- try this variety is planted largely on ac- count of its malaria destroying qualities and from its leaves is prepared a liquid used in the removal of boiler incrusta- tions. It has great virtue as a specific for rheumatism and the industry of ex- tracting the essential oils is considerable. The variety next best known is E. ros- trata, the red gum of southern Australia. Although it does not grow quite so rap- idly as the sort I have just described it reaches the height of 150 feet and the wood is very durable. It makes a very showy tree and is planted here consid- erably. E. amygdalina, the well-known pepper gum, is said to attain the height of 500 feet in southern Australia. It makes a beautiful shade tree and is used some- what for avenue planting. E. robusta is the swamp mahogany gum of New South Wales. I have found that it flourishes weU in situations that have a great deal of moisture, but is not of rapid growth. The flowers resemble those of E. globulus, but are larger and of a pure white color, contain a great deal of honey and are much sought by the bees. I have several specimens of E. eitrio- dora, the lemon scented variety. The foliage has the same odor as the lemon verbena and makes a very pretty shrub. The plant is not very hardy when small and has to be protected from the frost. It is a very interesting tree and bears a pure white bloom. The finest garden variety, however, is E. ficifolia, the crimson-flowered gum. This beautiful shrub has very large, dark- green leaves and produces a profusion of large panicles of dark crimson flowers. It is very showy, both in and out of bloom, but is not a rapid grower as are most of the eucalyptus family. It is n native of West Australia, where it at- tains a considerable size, but with us it appears to adopt a dwarfish, shrubby habit. E. Stewartiana, the apple scented gum, has the same habit of growth as the kind I have just mentioned but is much hardier. The leaves have the odor pe- culiar to rose geranium and like most of the family it is a profuse bearer of creamy white blooms. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. We had a very heavy rain on Mon- day and Tuesday nights and since then the weather has been cool and clear. This has had a good effect on all classes of outdoor work. Flowers of all kinds are daily coming in more plentifully. Long- stemmed roses are in very good supply, with the prospects of an avalanche in a week or two. I saw some very fine Beauties to-day from Berkeley. Both F. Aebi and John Young, of that town, have had splendid success with this rose. Brides and Maids are good, but roses will get much cheaper very soon. P. C. Meyer, of Burlingame, is sending in some Liberty that bring top price. Carna- tions are in good supply, although some of our largest growers report off crop at present with some varieties. Lawson and Estelle and all the fancy sorts are selling at three dozen for a dollar, but they have to be good stock to brin^ this price. The other kinds, such as Hill, Scott, Schwerin and Joost call be had at $2 per hundred. Violets are daily get- ting scarcer. Bulbous stock, vrith the exception of outdoor freesias and Nar- cissus poeticus, has disappeared. L. longiflorum at $1 to $2 a dozen stems are plentiful and very fine. Valley is in abundance. Business is only fair. Various Notes. Dominick & Co., located for several years on the corner of Stevenson and Fourth streets, have opened a store at 3 Fourth street. Golden Gate park is taking on its spring robes, and thousands of flowering plants are beginning to show their bright colors.- A large force of gardeners are replanting the innumerable beds that have been resplendent with tulips, daf- fodils, hyacinths and other showy win- ter flowers, and planting instead phlox, stocks, scarlet salvias, petunias, verbe- nas, pansies, lobelias and hundreds of other showy annuals. In the conserva- tories a very tine collection of calceola- rias and azaleas is at present on exhibi- tion. G. LouiSBUBG, Kans. — The Miami County Nurseries do quite a business in bedding plants each spring. They report the nursery trade good. ^urbank's Shasta 20e^pe/l00: LfaiSV oGGU $1.2.5 per 1000: $9.C0 ' per ounce: 34-ounce at ounce rate. LOOMIS FLORAL CO. LOOMIS, CAL.

Already the de- mand lor eoinmencement llowers is be- ing felt. These orders are from out-of- town points, mostly small towns where the schools close early. This, together with considerable funeral work, has kept the market well cleaned up and prices are very satisfactory. There is a good supply of stock but no surplus, in the better grades at least. In "sec- onds" and "thirds" there are at times a few too many, but they can usually be moved at some price. Eoses are coming quite heavily but are selling first rate. Carnations are' not quite so strong and are in good demand. Prices are holding up well, some of the extra fancy grades reaching 5 cents. Harrisii and longitlorum lilies also callas, are in good demand. Tulips are still with us, but their days are numbered. Roman and Dutch hyacinths. also valley and narcissi, are doing nice- ly. Violets sell at sight and many more could be used to advantage. "Greeti goods" arc about tlie same. New ferns will soon be with us. which will help out the green situation greatly. Notes. E. A.

Toronto has been visited by tbe worst fire it lias ever kno«ii, wijiing out what is known as the wholesale district, about fourteen acres. D. J. Sinclair was the only llorist that was at all injured by the" tire, although only slightly. Many who were spectators of the fire and saw the slight damage that was done, re- marked that providence must have had special care over the flowers, as the build- ing was burned on three' sides, and on one side nothing but a glass partition was left between the fire and the flow- ers. S. Tidy & Son were saved only by the wind beinjr against them; the build- ing at the rear of their greenhouses was destroyed. It is hard to forecast what effect this will have on trade. A number of large weddings during the week used up a quantity of stock. Dunlop had an order in which they used a great quantity of southern smilax, Lawson and Prosperity carnations and American Beauties. This was one of the largest weddings' Toronto has had for some time. Roses are plentiful and carnations quite equal to the demand. Bulb stock 'appears to be short. This week we have our horse show, which is expected to make quite a stir. Among the visitors during the week who blew in along with the fire was S. D. Green, representing M. Rice & Co. He is a hot member and we gave him a warm reception. D. J. IXDIAXAPOLIS, Ind. — Thos. D. Hepler has begun suit for divorce against his wife, Emma L. Hepler, who is now in Xew Orleans. "The more we advertise in the Re- view the more we are convinced of its advertising value. It reaches the buy- ers, always.

Supplies of .ill flow- ers except Easter lilies have shortened up and prices have advanced slightly. A general cleaning up on all stock, except lilies, occurs daily. The supply is, however, equal to the demand ; the only shortage noticeable is on white carna- tions and white roses. Among the nov- elties airiviug now are giant snapdragon, in white and colors, also some extraordi- nary fine Iris Ilispaniea, which bring good prices. The demand for sweet peas, single datVttdils and yellow daisies is good. Various Notes. The Kuhn wedding last Tuesday called for considerable fine stock. Charles T. Siebert had (he dceoiation; Mr. Zieger said it was one of the most beautiful decorations he ever superintended. Yel- low irises, yellow giant daisies, American Beauty, Bride and Bridesmaid roses were used in large quantities. L. I. ICeff's Sixth street store win- dow decoration last week attracted con- siderable attention: the baby sweet alys- sum in miniature pots proved to be a very paying novelty. E, C, Ludwig is receiving some very fine trailing arbutus and candytuft. Max Schreiber is sending " the Pitts- burg Cut Flower Co. candidum lilies. Visitor: Gust A. Geng, Youngstown, Ohio, Hoo-Hoo. We are in receipt of a box of fine lead pencils, each stamped with the name of S. S. Pennock, wholesale ilor- ist, Philadelphia. Cle\t:i.and, O.— a bulldog owned by John Travers critically injured a three- year-old boy on April 23. The physi- cians have the dog confined to see if hydrophobia develops. Meadville, Pa.— Geo. W. Haas says that Easter trade was very good and that they might have done much better if they had had stock to meet the de- mand for potted plants. He looks for a good spring trade, as much stock wns killed during the past severe winter. CARNATIONS ! COTTSGE GARDEN WINNERS at the DETROIT EXHIBITION. sow BEASY, $13 per 100; SlOO per 1000.

Judging from the number of inquiries. it seems that the heating problem is yet an unsolved problem for a good many florists and I am, myself, a little in doubt. Our ground is springy and a heater on the level of the piping would be the thing. It is never recommended, but I see the fine baiting plants in our trolley and steam cars; they seem to give the best of satisfaction and are on a dead level. One is the Baker heater made in New York and the other the Peter Smith heater made in Detroit. I wish L. C. C. would give us some light on this system. G. O. K. While I have no personal knowledge of the two heaters mentioned, I have no doubt that they are hot water heaters provided with an overhead riser and a closed expansion tank. This system can be worked on the level and was at one time quite extensively used in car heat- ing. While they serve the purpose for which they are intended, the efficiency from such systems is in general lower than in plants where there is a good fall in the returns and the boiler is placed below tbe level of the return or radiating pipes. With large plants the heating plant is frequently placed on the surface of the ground and on a level with the houses. In fact the water line in the boilers is often far above the level of the radiating pipes. Here the gravity system is replaced by auxiliary steam or jlectric pumps, which are used to circu- late ,7 Piersou-Sefton Co. .1248 Pittsburg Cut Flow- er Co 1219 Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co 1-247 Poehlmann Bros 12'22-28 PollworthCo 1-245 Quaker City Machine Works 1245 Randall Co., A.L.. ..1-222 Rawlings, E. 1 1-2-29 Rawson & Co 1217 Raynor.

Florists here have the ad- vantage of those in the East. It never is very cold here and when the eastern people were frozen up we had flowers in bloom in the garden.

The easiest to grow and the easiest to sell. Has received the highest encomiums from the leading cut flower dealers in the country. Buy now. Buy liberally and reap the benefits. ^ J* Adiantum Croweanum origmated at Utica, N. Y., about fourteen years ago, and has been extensively grown by the original owner, Mr. Peter Crowe, who has received phenomenal prices for the cut fronds in the New York and other markets, and has created a great demand for it. The fronds are lon^, elegantly proportioned and of a texture that renders it the best keeper and stiipper of all adiantums. It is a very free and continuous grower, requires no rest, and responds readily to fertilizers. Anyone can grow it and get good money for it. Will be ready to ship July 1, 1904, out of 3-inch pots (strong plants) at the following prices: $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000; 25 at 100 rate, 250 at 1000 rate. WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT IT. WILLIAM SCOTT, Buffalo, N. Y.— "I con- gratulate you upon securing the entire con- trol of the distribution of the Adiantum Croweanum. Ou my frequent visits to my friend, Mr. Crowe. I have had an opportunity to observe this beautiful fern from the time when there were but a few huodred plants till last December, when I saw it occupving 20,000 sq. feet of glass. Its freedom of growth, length and beauty of fronds and its wonderful keeping qualities must quickly make it the only commercial Maidenhair Fern. From a very small plant you have in two or three months a splendid ci'op of fronds. There is no secret In its cultivation, but generous treatment. I feel sure you will find a widespread demand for this beautiful and distinct Adiantum." SAMUEL S. PENNOCK, Philadelphia, Pa.— "I consider your Adiantum Croweanum a very valuable acquisition to this line of ferns. It is an excellent commercial variety, good keeper, and has given the best satisfaction wherever we have sold it. Our customers much prefer paying an extra price for it than buying the commoner varieties. The great trouble w<^ find is we cannot get enough to meet our customers' wants." JOHN I. RAYNOR. New York City, N. Y. — "During the two years in which I have had the sale of the fronds of Adiantum Croweanum in New York City, the demand has at all times far exceeded the quantity you have been able to supply me with, at $1.50 per 100, wliile ordinary Cuneatum has been, as a rule, in over-supply at half that price. It Is with- out question the best fern for cut fronds ever seen in this market." ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY, Natick, Mass. — "I am very pleased to hear that you have decided to put plants of your fern Adiantum Croweanum on the market. I have always been more or less interested in it. as I understand it originated from some plants of Adiantum Cuneatum that I sold you at the Waban Conservatories in the early eighties. I remember the circumstanc<'S very well, as I sold the balance of our stock to Robert Craig in 1S90. Wishing you ever suc- cess with It." C. F. TRUE. Honolulu, H. I.— "Your Croweanum sent on October 17 came to hand on 29th ult.. in very fair condition. Kindly send me full Information in regard to it." WELCH BROS., Boston. Mass.— "We read- ily dispose of Croweanum for a much higher price than we receive for Adiantum of ordi- nary varieties shipped in by our growers." "By far the best Adiantum that has been introduced to the riorists' Trade. Is a free grower, the darkest green of the Ay m \ F. W. 0. SCHMITZ, I m Prince Bay, N.

For a good liaiid bouquet there will be required from 100 to 200 lilies of the valley, whether it is proposed to have the full shower effect, as shown in the first illustration, or the round hand bou- quet with the partial shower effect as shown in the second illustration. The size and height of the person who carries the bouquet should be considered, also, Don't weigh down a dainty little bride with a half-bushel bouquet, unless she has no more appreciation of the fitness of things than to insist on it herself, and don 't place a ' ' two by four ' ' shower in the hand of a six-footer. The best foundation for such a shower as is first shown is a dozen sprays of As- paragus Sprengeri varying in length from a foot to a yard. Bunch them securely together about four inches from the stub ends. A medium heavy wire is the best tying material, for it not only fastens, but is stiff enough to hold itself in place. With the Sprengeri bunch half a dozen ditl'erent length sprays of Asparagus plumosus, and a bolt of narrow ribbon cut in lengths to correspond with the Sprengeri sprays. Ribbon for a shower houquet should not be wider than No. 9. nor narrower than No. 3. Velvet is the choicest, but embroidered gauze, taf- feta and satin are all used. Having caught in one end of each of the ribbon lengths, we now have a bunch composed of the two kinds of asparagus and ribbon, which, when held up, stem end down, will fall out airily from the hand. It will be our purpose throughout this process of making the shower bou- quet to preserve this airy and light ap- pearance. Set this much of the bouquet in a tall clean vase before you on the table, while the flcwers are being made ready. Remove all the valley foliage from the flower stalks in order to reduce the bulk and weight. Leave the flower stalks full length, and replace about one-third the foliage by folding the smaller leaves loosely, without wrapping, around the lower ends of a part of the flower stalks. Have the sprays of the skeleton bouquet fall half way around the vase. Attaching the Valley, Begin at the top to fasten the lilies of the valley up and down the Sprengeri sprays with one or two wrappings of No. 36 wire, more heavily at the top, 'and gradually thinning the density towards the bottom. A small proportion may be fastened in an erect position at the top, but the most of the flowers are supposed to hang downwards, as though caught ac- cidentally on the green. Knot the ribbon here and there in single loops and double bows, and in the ties have a spike of lily of the valley with its foliage. Let a few of the ribbon ends hang as they are,' with a tiny cluster of flowers cling- ing to them. Through others of the loops pull a valley laden spray of the Spren- geri. Fluff all the sprays out, and see that none of the asparagus sprays are so heavy with the valley flowers that they lose their spring, and hang straight down. Slip about a yard of ribbouj through the stem end of the bouquet upwards and tie in a double bow, leaving a loop under the bow, large enough to slip over the hand or wrist of the wearer. It is a little more comfortable to hold the bou- quet by the stem end, however, and if this method is preferred, wrap the stems this case the lilies of the valley should be prepared as before, by removing all and replacing part of the foliage. This bouquet will require from 150 to 200 lilies of the valley. For a foundation, tie together a dozen stiff, stubby stems of Sprengeri, or something _ else equally strong. Cross the stem ends, and when they are tied tightly they will look like a bottle brush. Next, group the valley flowers into bunches of from six to twelve each, sheatli each group with a leaf and wrap with a wire heavy enough to bear the' weight of the bunch. Begin to wrap about a third of the way from the bot- tom of the stem and wind the wire spii^ ally to the lower end of the stem, leaving the wire eight to ten inches long below, for extra stem length. After preparing all the valley for the main part of the bouquet in this way, take the stubby bunch of asparagus in the left hand and The Shower Bouquet of Asparagus and Valley. with foil and cover with a piece of the wide ribbon which completes the bouquet in a large bow at the back of the bou- quet. Two yards of sash ribbon of a quality to correspond with the narrower ribbon used in the shower, will be suffi- cient. The large bow is not essential, but is often used. With the Green Shower. Another hand bouquet, with a partial shower effect in green, is presented in the next illustration. Perhaps this style is more often seen than the former. In run the wired bunches of valley through it by their sharp ends, till these same wire stems come out among the stem ends of the asparagus. Keep this up till the bunches of valley have all found a place in the bouquet, and its outline has become well rounded, yet not compact, the delicate sprays nodding freely, but securely fastened in their place. If any stray bits of blunt asparagus appear among the flowers, clip off fheir tops, or cover them with valley foliage, or a delicate green stemmed in the same way as the flowers. 1256 The Weekly Florists' Review. May 0, 1904. Having completed the body of the bouquet, insert around the edge long spraj-B of some delicate asparagus. Hav« the lengths of the sprays vary slightly over and under a yard. The stub ends will slip in easily among the wires that carry the flowers, and they will hang out gracefuUj- as shown in the illustration. Place in a tall, dry vase, a.s with the first bouquet, and fasten on a few scat- tering valley flowers, probably two or three dozen in all, as we see illustrated. Last of all, take four or five yards of handsome sash ribbon, wrap the stem end of the bouquet, cross the ends at the top and tie the double bow, leaving one end longer than tlic other, and flic bunch is complete. Use of Other Forms. There are numberless variations on these two styles of hand bouquets, ac- cording to the number of flowers one is restricted to, and one's own skill and taste. Roses are often used for the latter style, but not for the former arrange- ment. But the real shower bouquet, the turn are used for the bridesmaids. These can be made in either of the above styles, wiring and tying the fronds pre- cisely as was done for the flowers. Another attractive style is to use the round bouquet of the second design with a border of narrow ribbon cut in yard lengths, tied around the stem end of the bouiiuct by the upper end of the ribbon and falling in the style of the green sprays in the illustration, and caught in the knots are single flowers or clusters of the flowers of which the shower is composed. No large bow of broad rib- bon is used for this style. Gektkude Blair. VIOLETS. The Rise of the Specialist. In last week's issue of the Florists' liKviEW I saw an article entitled ''The Decline of the: .Specialist." I hope you will pardon me for taking the liberty to difl'er from your correspondent. I sub- mit a few of the reasons for so doing, The Bride's Round Bouquet, with Shower of Green. ideal one, is of fine, delicate flowers. Swainsona, daisies, violets, sweet peas, freesia, white lilac, Roman hyacinths, and all such delicate flowers are especially attractive for this purpose, and all can be made into hand bouquets in the same manner as the valley, f'or a white and oreen wedding, shower bouquets of adian- taking up each article that the writer gives as his reasons for the decline of the violet specialist. He says that anyone who will look fairly and understandingly at the situa- tion will be compelled to admit that the day has passed when the grower can make the good money growing violets that he did a few years ago. I liave had considerable experience in growing and selling violets, have also looked fairly and understandingly at the situa- tion and have come to the foUow'ing con- clusions: First, that there is as much money in growing violets now as there ever was; second, that the demand can only be met by tlie si)ecialist, consequently the specialist should be the one who makes the money. The writer gives overproduction as his first reason, saying that wlien some one else thinks you are having a good thing, then 'all plunge into it. This is the case on any kind of flower growing. It is hu- man nature to do it. If they find it not llie good thing they thought it was, thev plunge into something else, but the spe- cialist, because of present and past suc- cess, goes more into his specialty than before. The writer says the' demand is lessened when the product becomes too plentiful, while I believe the demand increases when the product increases. There is and, the chances are, at certain times there will always be, an oversupply and at certain times the supply will be far short of the demand, like' last Easter, for instance. The real lover of violets will buy more when there is an ample supply than when the product is scarce. I believe the time is not far distant whe'n violets will sell for far less money than they have ever done before, and yet a margin will be left for the growev. Another reason for the decline of the specialist is given that violets never seem to be grown with equal success year after year and the writer blames the atmos- pheric conditions over which we have no control for this. I believe that the one who thoroughly understands violet grow- ing can have! the sanw or even better suc- cess each year. The many failures in violet growing can nearly all be traced to those who, as this writer says, plunged into it without any practical knowledge of their culture. Some have had suc- cess for a few seasons, while others have not had any success. I liave no doubt but chance played a great part in the success of these plungers. But what are our greenhouses for but to control the atmospheric conditions? The modern violet house, when properly handled, should overcome these condi- tions. The specialist here has a decided advantage. If a house now and then is a failure he knows the cause of that failure and profits by it in the future. ITf has a broader field to work on and, consequently, should have more and bet- ter violets, and he has to, in order to meet the demand. If the supply was to he curtailed there would not be any money in growing them, because you could not grow so manv as you could sell. I believe that for the one who can grow and put upon the market first-class goods, year in and year out, there is as good a chance at making money in grow- ing violets as there is in any other flow- er, and the specialist above any one else is the one who is going to make it. I believe that the risk in growing violets has been reduced to a minimum by the specialist. If this was not the case the large modern violet houses which have lipen. and are being, erected by violet spe- cialists clearly show that there is still something in violet growing and that the specialist is as yet not on the decline.

After having made the decision to grow a house of violets you have to make ymiv choice of the kinds that you will grow. Two things, if you have grown them be- fore or handled them from other grow- ers, will influence you greatly in this de- cision. First, the kind which your cus- tomers desire and. second, those that do best with you. This second reason i of course, know nothing about until you try them, if ycu have not previously cul- tivated them. I caimot tell you what is best for everyone to grow, but I may be able to mention some things that may heln your decision. If you don't know what your trade 'wishes and have not before grown any, I would advise planting a fair quantity of all the varieties. This will give you an opportunity to ascertain which kind your customers prefer, and the kind that they do not want at all : also the kind that likes your soil and treatment. You will always find that dif- ferent places have their preferences. Your city or town may wish nothing but single, your next town cares only for double, and still another town will make a decision between doubles, either choos- ing the light and refusing the dark, or contrary wise preferring the dark, though you may find the lighter much the easier to grow. But one thing you will find will never work well, no matter how nice thev are, and this is the two together. The light or Lady Hume Campbell alway> shows to a disadvantage, as JIarie Louise or Farquhar alongside of it make it look faded. If you expect to grow some pot phmt* for your holiday trade, aside from those you "have for cut flowers, you will find T^ady Campbell far ahead in many ways : Longer stems and stiffer. holding the flower up out of and above the foliage much better than the ilarie Louise; fra- grance stronger: will stand a higher tem- perature and make a larger, stronger plant and the individual flower is larger and more rounded. As a usual thing the general grower has better success with it than with Marie Louise for cut flowers for the same reasons, yet some places absolutely refuse to buy it on any terms on account of its lighter color, no matter how well grown. Early in the season yo" will always appreciate having some sinp-'" ones, even if you have no use for the flower, as they then furnish you witli much better leaves for bunching than do the doubles. If you have plenty of stock to fill your house of your own. all right, but if not it is time that you purchased some, so as to get what you want and the best that there is to be procured. Make a lib- eral estimate, so as to have plenty, more than you expect you want. As with all plants, something will happen to sor^" of them, even with the best of care, and they will have to be replaced as soon a« noted. You will also have to decide if you will grow them on benches or in a solid bor- der. We always prefer the latter, still I know of those who always use bencli"s but this is not suited to us at all. the reason being, I think, that it is a light, gravelly loam. However, here is another case of where I would advise you to trv both ways for yourself. Nevertheless, it is safer to grow in borders, as a rule, and I would only try one bench. If it is possible to do so have your border at least two feet above the paths, for the ease of working at them. They also like to be near the glass. We also consider narrow borders much better than wide, for several reasons, the greater reason being the better grade of flower, this ap- parently giving them more circulation of air. In making up your borders be sure and have ample drainage, good coarse cinders, ashes or crushed stone, anything of this kind, putting the coarsest at the bottom and growing" finer as you come up to the soil line, in ordeT that your soil may n"« wash down into same, leaving space for six to ei^ht inches of soil on top. You will also find it a good plan to get this all ready for the soil, water it heavily and let it settle a few days before cover- ing it with the soil, so that you may level up hollows that are quite apt to result after a time.

THE WIETOR ESTABLISHMENT, The wonderful development of the cut flower industry in the vicinity of Chi- cago in recent years has attracted the at- tention of the whole world, arousing the interest of all. the admiration of some and apprehension of others, even to the extent that the president of the S. A. F., at the Milwaukee convention, pronounced a warning to the craft against over- building. Of all the establishments which have spread out so remarkably, none has made a more rapid growth than that of Wietor Bros., at Rogers Park. Chicago. It was just ten years ago, on April 1, 1894. that this establishment first began in the cut flower line. Prior to that time there had been twelve small houses in which Henry Wietor was growing vegetables most successfully. But th^ saw a wider field in cut flowers and added another six small houses and went into roses and carnations. At tliat time they Iiad possibly 50,000 feet of glass, today thev have three immense ranges with a total of between 700.(100 ami 7.50.000 feet of glass. The accompanying illus- trations give as near an adequate idea of the immensity of the establishment as is possible with a camera. All the houses are devoted to cut flow- ers, practically roses and carnations. Beauty, B.ride. Maid. Liberty, Meteor, Golden Gate and Ivory are the principal varieties in roses and of these there are many thousand plants each. They also grow La France and Kaiserin for _sum- mer crops and have a few other varieties in small quantity. They have found it wise to narrow down their list of carna- tions to some dozen of the leading varie- ties, of each of which they have man" thousands, insuring a large cut daily of t258 The Weekly Florists' Review, May 5, 1904. eacli variety. They have had splendid success all through the season. Chrvsuii- themums are resurrected and brought to the front; some of them are so good that if they were offered us under a new name we would snap them up eagerly. Among them I would mention Madame de Watteville, Madame Hoste, Papa Gontier and Bon Silene. A grower in one of our western cities told me con- fidentially last spring that Bon Silene was one of the best selling and paying varieties on their list. Meteor is still a good all-the-year-round rose, and many who discarded it for Liberty are returning to their first love. If well grown. La France would sell as well now. comparatively, as it did fifteen years ago. 1260 The Weekly Florists' Review, >Iay 1904. A HOME-MADE HEATING PLANT. I am about to enlarge my plant and desire some information concerning heat- ing. My present plant is small and the heating was planned and installed by myself, out of cheap material. It has, however, been ver^- effective and an- sweTed every purpose of a plant house. I have been able to keep the temperature at from 45 to 50 degiees at night dur- ing the past winter by burning coke, leaving the (ire for three hours at least, and kept the temperature quite steady. I could have carried a higher tempera- ture by firing more often. My boiler is an ordinary upright, twenty-six inches in diameter and five feet high, having thirty-two 194-inch flues about three feet in length. I laid the boiler on its side, with "the door opening down, and bricked it in, closing tlie bottom with brick. I thus had a fire place that was about fourteen inches wide, fourteen inches from grate to boiler and tliree feet in length. My grate was about thirteen inches wide and eighteen inches long, ordinary bar grate. The fire would be carried along the under side of the boiler through the doorway and return- ing through the flues. I bolted on the cap or dome, which was built for a 10- inch pipe. This I reduced to eight inches, passing into a chimney a few feet distant. Last year I bought a sheet-iron smokestack twenty-two feet high and fif- teen inches in diameter. This I obtained very cheap, but it condensed the smoke and was always cold and dead. It soon rotted out. The past winter I used ten feet of 10-ineh tile and always had a good and sufficieBt draft. The boiler was tapped on the upp°r side, about half way from each end. bv a 2-inch pipe, which rose to a height feet, the four returning under the benches and the bunch of three along the west side wall, all coming together at the north end again into a short length of 2-inch pil^e. my mixer, thence return- ing to the bottom of the boiler. About one-half of the boiler is covered by a propagating bench, which is further heated by a coil of pipe. The green- house is 20 X 43 feet; the west side wall four feet high; twelve feet high in center; the south end connected with office, having a few feet of glass, however. The 1-inch pipe I got for a song. It is in nine-foot lengths and could be used for supports in mj" new house. What I want to know is this: How much more glass will that boiler heat with a reasonable amount of care and what size pipe should I get? I have been heating with hot water. Would it make the boiler more eflBcient if it were tapped with two more 2-inch flows; which would rise to a 3-inch or a 4-inch main flow? It seems to me that it could then be fired twice as hard as I have fired it. Here is another question: In the pres- ent instance, if I had lV2-inch pipes in- stead of 1-inch, or if I had more 1-inch in the said house, would the same amount of firing have created a higher tempera- ture or would it have been necessary to fire stronger to heat the additional pipe ? If I should build an additional house 25 X 150 would you advise a larger boiler and with other additions in view what size and kind of boiler would you ad- vise? I have just finished a propagat- ing house 16 X 16 at the north end of the house 20 x 43. A. W. T. The piping system which you have worked out is certainly a novel one, but since it seems to have been efficient and Hydrangeas Grown by Skillin Bros., Falmouth, Vt., for Memorial Day, 1903. of about seven feet from the level of the floor (the boiler is about one-half its diameter above the level ) , and crosses the end of the house. It commenced to drop from the point above the boiler and when I tapped the 2-inch I did so from the under side. At the center of the house I tapped with l^A-inch, branching to four 1-inch pipes. At the end of the 2-inch pipe it branched to three 1-inch pipes. These seven 1-inch pipes were carried the length of the house, forty fairly economical, no criticism need be made. The small pipes (1-inch), how- ever, make the flow of water slower than it would be in larger pipes because of the greater friction and the small vol- ume of water contained in them. The usual practice is to carry the risers full size to the most distant point in the system, which should also be the his-li est point, and there sub-divide into the required number of returns to provide the temperature desired. You have, as I understand it, fourteen 1-inch pipes running from end to end of your house, seven flows and seven re- turns. These fourteen 1-ineh pipes, if forty feet long, provide oidy 192.6 feet of radiation, which is about 100 feet less than would ordinarily be provided for maintaining a temperatme of 50 de- grees in such a house. The only explana- tion that suggests itself is that you are able to heat the water in the boiler to 200 degrees, which would account for the efficiency of the small amount of pip- ing in the house. Tliis in connection with the fact that the boiler, which is capable of supplying heat for 500 feet of radiation, has only been carrying less than 200. If you increase the amount of radiation by the addition of more houses it will be necessary to somewhat increase the piping in this house because it will be necessary to circulate a some- what greater amount of water. It is likely that vou can heat another house the same siz'e of the one you have with the present boiler. If you can have the boiler tapped out frv a 2V2-mch flow in place of the 2-inch it will carry the full oapacitv of your boiler, or you can nc- complish the same thing by tapping for a second 2-inch flow, i. e.. using two off- take pipes instead of one. The returns should, however, be of nearly equal ea- ''''lf*^T0u wish to build an additional house 25 X 100 feet it w-iU require a verv considerable incre.ise in the size of the boiler. Tlie present house 20 x 4,5, the house 16 x 16 and the house 9.5 X 100 would require a toiler with about 125 feet of heating surface, while the one you have, if dimensions are cor- rectly stated, has about sixty^five ^eet. LEAF-MOLD IN ORCHID CULTURE. The results obtained from the use of leaf-mold in the cultivation of orchids have fully justified the advice we gave o orchidists some two X^-l «g%*° exercise the greatest care, both m the ^rfparation of the composts containing that substance, and in watering the plants growing in them, says the Gard- eners' Magazine. We suggested at the .ame time that the use of this material should be regarded as in the experimen^ tal stage, and pointed out that while a liberal proportion of decayed leaves might, w'ith special care in watering, en- courage a vigorous leaf growth, it may not te favorable to flower production Further experience would appear to show that this is really the case. It appears to be proved to demonstration that used with the requisite care leaf- mold is highly favorable to the rapid development of leaf growth. Seedling orchids, when growing in a mixture con- taining a liberal proportion, make a more rapid progress than m peat or sphagnum, or a mixture of the two, and. as a rule, reach a flowering stage in a shorter period. Not only seedlings, but voung plants raised by division, whether "of home growth or imported specimens, grow more rapidly when potted in leaf- mold, or in a mixture of which it forms a large part, and a noteworthy feature in these and seedlings is the great in- crease in the size of the pseudo-bulbs and leaves, as compared with those of the previous season, for two or three years after the change in the compo- nent parts of the compost has been made. This is only what might have Mav T.KIJ. The Weekly Florists' Review. 1261 Range No. 3 at the Establishment of Wietor Bros., at Rogers Park, Chicago. been expected from the liberal percen- tage of nitrogen in the decayed leaves, and the question of special interest is the capacity of these fat pseudo-bulbs .nnd ample leaves for resisting adverse influences equal to those of plants grown under the conditions that have long obtained in orchid culture. As yet verj- little evidence has been forth- coming as to the desirability of adding leaf-mold to the compost in which es- tablished specimens of large size are grown, whether as regards the growth or the flowering. That leaf-mold is ad- vantageous in promoting the growth of young plants has been satisfactorily shown, and judging from the evidence forthcoming it would appear that it has the disadvantages of promoting the pro- duction of flowers wanting in staying power, more particuarly when cut from the plants. Orchids are now so largely used in decorations on festive occasions that a shortening of the period during which they retain their freshness and beauty is a serious disadvantage. There- fore it is a point of some importance to determine by practical tests whether the staying power of the flowers of all orchids is similarly aflfected, and in the case of those that have their dura- tion reduced the difference in the time which the flowers of plants grown with and without leaf-mold retain their fresh- ness under precisely the same conditions. Half-a-dozen tests of this kind would be more conclusive than any number of general statements, and we commend the question to those who own or are in charge of large collections. SOIL STERILIZATION. Messrs. A. F. Woods and R. E. B. Mc- Kenney. of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. ' Department of Agriculture, have devoted much attention to the subject of soils, incidentally those employed in greenhouses. Soil sterilization is rapidly coming into favor for all extensive work where the process is practicable. The usual method for gi-eenhouse use is to build a large bin. about four feet wide by ten or fifteen feet long, and three feet deep, running pipes through the bottom of the bin, or through the bin a foot from the bottom, a foot apart lengthwise. In a four-foot bin there would be three pipes, with one-sixteenth inch holes drilled in them on the under side, about one foot apart. Fill the bin loosely with soil; turn in steam df about eighty pounds' pressure; put a few potatoes in the top of the soil, an inch or so under the surface, then cover the surface with tight boards or cloth, in order to prevent escape of the steam. Usually one or two liours under good pressure, if the soil is not too heavy, will cook the potatoes in tlie top of tlie soil ; then one' may be sure that the jiarasites and weed seeds have been destroyed. If high-pressure steam is used the soil will dry rapidly after the steam is turned off, and can be shoveled out of the bin without much difficulty, especially if one side of the bin is removable. In sterilizing soil without the use of a bin, the same process is used. The pipes are laid in the ground to be steri- lized in a similar manner as in the bin. If it is desired to sterilize a foot of soil, the pipes should be placed under the soil about a foot, with the drill holes on the under side ; the surface should then be covered with boards, or something to prevent the escape of the steam, and the soil should, of course, first be loosened, so that the steam can circulate through it. A few potatoes distributed over the area will tell when the sterilization has become complete. After the sterilization the pipes can be removed. It is a good plan before' sterilizing to mix in the farmyard or stable manure that is to be used, as this often contains numerous weed seeds. If artificial manures are used, of course it is not necessary to add the'm first. Any small high-pressure boiler 'will serve to make the steam. Some use a small independent boiler for the pur- pose, others attach the' apparatus to their high-pressure boiler. A low-pressure boiler is usually unsatisfactory, as it takes a longer time to circulate the steam, it leaves the soil wet and soggy, and does not do the 'vvork very well. Ltxx, M.\ss. — Gibbs Bros, are build- ing two new greenhouses, one .18x100 and the other 25x120. BOSTON. The Market. Prices have remained quite firm dur- ing the past week. The dark, damp weatlier has materially shortened the out- put, but there has been plenty to go around. Prices on roses have re'mained pretty much the same, best Beauties bringing $30, -with Brides and Brides- maids at from $6 to $10. Hybrids have lieen more plentiful. Carnations con- tinue of fine quality; a few fancies bring $4, good stock $2 to $3 pel- 100 and or- dinary grades $10 per 1,000. Violets still come in but a few warm days will finish them. Outdoor narcissi and tulips are appearing, of good quality. Sweet peas are plentiful and fine. Lily of the valley continues abundant at from $2 to $3. Activity Outdoors. April has been doing herself proud of late in the way of precipitation. For the sixty hours ending April 29 at 8 a. m., the weather bureau reported 5.09 inches of rain. Tliese figures are official and not open to dispute. This certainly beats all records for a good many years back. We do not hear of any serious damage as a result of the heavy rain, ex- cept the filling of some cellars, putting out of a few boiler fires and the flooding of low lands. Warmer weather succeeded the deluge and the result on vegetation has been almost electrical. The click of lawn mowers is universal, daffodils and tulips make our gardens gay and a few early shrubs, which have escaped unscathed from the winte'r's ordeal, are adding some touches of color. A few carnation growers have started to plant out their stock. Planting -will not be general, however, for another week, owing to the danger from late spring frosts. Quite a numbef propose trying indoor culture on a small scale. A good deal of tree planting was done in this vicinity on Arbor day, April 30. In the way of shade trees Norway and sugar maples were most largely planted. Some elms and lindens were also used. The warfare on the gypsey moth was 1262 The Weekly Florists' Review. iUT 5, 1904. waged in the sections infested by this pest and thousands of nests destroyed. Various Notes. An invitation has been ixlcmled to the Daughters of the American Kevolu- tion, who are holding their convention in Boston this week, to attend the exhibi- tion of plants and flowers at Horticul- tural Hall on May 7. Superintendent Doogue has been mov- ing a number of large trees en the Com- mon lately. Boston's historic recreation ground presents a rather incongruous spectacle at present, the ground being manured, plowed and harrowed, prior to seeding. The addition of new loam and manure should greatly stimulate the trees, which were in a half-starved condi- tion. The public gardens are now putting on thev gay spring attire. Narcissi are at their best and towards the end of the present week hundreds of thousands of tulips will be in bloom. Some beds of double wall-flowers are quite effective and much admired. The use of bulbous plants in the more select residential sec- tions of Boston is yearly increasing. Superintendent J. A. Pettigrew and his small arm}- of men are very busy these days in the extensive Boston park sys- tem. An immense amount of planting is being done. Considerable damage to shrubs was sustained during the past win- ter. Mr. Pettigrew's planting is not merely for immediate effect, without any other particular object in view, but he plans and plants for the benefit of fu- ture generations. W. Js. Ckak;. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Saturday, the last day of the month as well as of the week, was a really good day for the florists. At least one whole- saler telegraphed for more carnations. Stock generally was pretty well sold out. This week has not opened so well. Flowers are accunuilating considerably. due to increased production, combined with a lack of life in business. Sweet peas have been in good supply and brisk demand, proving that they are as popular as ever in season. Xota hr.ne : in season. Xo healthy mortal cares about strawberries in midwinter. Carnations are still selling well, the colored sorts a shade better than the whites. To judge from appearances. Beauties are down in price again, but by no means in quality for they are excellent. The other roses have fallen a little. Their ranks have been strengthened by some fine Kaiserins. The overplus of lilies is past; they bring better prices now. Valley has been com- ing into the market in quantity a little more tJian sufficient to meet the demand. Pansies have continued popular. Leo Niessen disposed of 5,000 bunches last week, about his regular quantity. Dou- ble violets can still be se<'n of good qual- ity. Outdoor bulbs are in flower. They are not serious factors, except possibly in reducing the demand. Southampton. It is a well understood thing among the growers what going to Southampton means. You take the lit lie. one-track road for Xewtown fno. not Newtown Square) through pretty, rolling country, past Fox Chase, Paper Mill and other suggestive stations until you reach ,t prosperous looking place where nearly everybody leaves the train. That is Southampton. You avoid the bus driver and strike off into the country. After a short walk between neat cottages and fertile fields you approach an imposing range of glass, much larger than a few- years ago. It is Stephen Mortensen's, tlie original of the famous "Samuelson of Uatboro," about whom my friend K. grew so enthusiastic. "The combination between the soil and Samuelson," he said, '■[>roduces splendid Bridesmaids." There was Stephen himself ready to extend the glad hand of welcome and show you one of the neatest places imaginable. The entire place is de\oted to roses grown for cut flowers. Beauties, Brides, Bridesmaids and Liberties being the varieties grown. The last named sort has won favor and will be more largely planted for next season. It is now mak- ing fine canes from the lower eyes. A narrow house formerly used for mignon- ette has produced as good Libertie.-: through the winter as the large house. Grafted plants of Bridesmaid have shown more vigor and bloomed more freely than tliose on their own roots. The)- will, therefore, be more largely planted this summev and from them will be taken the cuttings for the following year's stock, to secure the greatest possible vigor. Bride is looking w-ell and has evidently been blooming profusely. Tlie method of heating is by hot water. The entire cut of this place goes in each morning, .Sundays excepted, on the 5:30 a. m. train to Samuel S. Pennock. A Spare Moment. It was a pleasure to watch the snap and system displayed by a band of work- ers in a large seed store one morning this week. The pleasure was increased when the head of the house, Henry F, Michell, stopped to say a pleasant word. Business, he said, was late in beginning, but now it is ahead of past years. He spoke of the wonderful beauty of salpi- glossis, the so-called poor man's orchid, as grown from their seed by Edwin Lons- dale, Florists ought certainly to sow it now, and also in the fall, for cut flow- ers. Another seed worth sowing for the same purpose is lupinus, now ob- tainable in separate colors. Both varie- ties of seed n-ill bloom four months after sowing. Various Notes. Wm. J. Riehle, of Lansdowne, Pa., has ordered building material from Lord & Burnham Co. for two houses each 2.3 x 100 to be used for growing carnations. Mr. Riehle is a beginner in "the business. .\bram Hostetter, of Manheim, Pa,, will erect one new house, 20 x 100 feet, and rebuild two old houses, one 20 x 72 and the other 20 x 172, using Lord & Burnham's material throughout. N. D, Comly, of Bustleton, Pa., will erect one house 20 x 150. Like the pre- ceding grower his specialties are violets and carnations, altliough he is unique in following his violet crop with rhubarb, which has proved profitable this sprins. D. T. Conner can be found each morn- ing at the Flower IMarket by wouldhp greenhouse builders, to whom he would be happy to show his Lord & Burnham models. Charles F. Edgar & Co. state that they are receiving nice Kaiserins. Eugene Bernheimer is handling fine sweet peas in three colors. Charles E. Meehan, manager of the Flower Market, went out tn W. K, Har- ris' the other day. He found a new \ariegated form of bougainvillea con- sidered very promising. Tliere w-ere a fine lot of Crimson Rambler roses in pots, not yet in bloom; some narcissi, princeps and poeticus; a promising stock of the butterfly primrose, a fine lot of decoiative plants and many other good tilings, including a hearty welcome. The street says it is so. Voices that will not keep still Bayersdorfer & Co. Have heavy orders to fill. Wm. J, Young is to be congratulated upon the arrival of a little daughter. M. Rice has been successful in securing some very promising novelties in Eu- rope. Phil. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Better weather conditions revive ac- tivity in both retail and wholesale cir- cles. Backward spring has retarded planting in all its branches. Trade im- provement was noticed the past week among the plantsmen, seedsmen and landscape gardeners. Among the florists in the stores the counter trade is gi'ad- ually falling oft' and the warm days pre- vent them from making their usual win- dow displays. Some fimeral work is al- waj-s going on among the down-town store men, but in the west end the re- tailers do more decorative work for re- ceptions, weddings and dinner parties. A lot of cut flower work was done last Saturday for tlie opening of the World's Fair, as a number of state buildings were decorated with plants and large bunches of roses, carnations and lilies, all presenting a handsome appearance. Everybody had a holiday on Saturday, but as usual the poor florists had to work and some of them very hard. ' Choice cut flow-ers are not any too plentiful, but more of the ordinary grades are in than the demand calls for. Roses of all kinds are in large supply. Fancy stock runs from $6 to $S, fiVsts $4 "to $5 and seconds $2 to .$3 per 100. Fancy American Beauties are coming in better, with a fair de- mand at $4 per dozen, with shorts as low as $5 per 100. The best stock in carnations is selling clean, with fancies at $4 and $5, firsts $2.50 and $3 and ordinary at $1.50 and $2 per 100. Fancy Lawson, Prosperity and Wolcott are in great demand but some of the common sorts are generally left over after the morning sales. Bulb stock is in the same condition as last reported ; very little sale for it with plenty of it dumped. Almost any price will buy the best Harrisii and callas are quite plen- tiful at from $6 to $8 per 100. Sweet peas are fine at $1, and from that down to 50 cents per 100. Southern lilac is coming in but not in very good condi- tion. The first sold at $5 per 100 sprays. Tlie latter part of the week the fine weather kept the greenhouse men con- stantly on the go delivering plant or- ders. Trade in this line is going to be big, as everybody is going to look his best for the visitors coming to see the great World's Fair. Death of John 'Y'oung. It pains me to report this week the death of our friend and craftsman, John Young, head of the firm of C. Young & Sons Co, Mr. Young died suddenly on Friday night, of neuralgia of the May 5, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review, 1263 The Late John Young. heart, while attending tlie performance at the Olympic theater with liis wife and daughter. He was taken suddenly ill after the first act and was taken home in a carriage and died an hour later. Mr. Young was a member of the S. A. F., the St. Louis Florists' Club and the Florists' Bowling Club. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, from the late residence, 4536 Forest Park boulevard. He leaves a wife and four children, four brothers and two sisters and a countless number of friends in the trade to mourn his loss. Beau- tiful floral designs were sent by the Florists' Club and the Bowling Club and many others from friends. Nearly all the members of the Florists' Club were in attendance. The pall bearers were liis four brothers, Fred C. Weber and J". J. Beneke. The interment took place in the family lot in Bellefontaine Ceme- tery. The last look at the face of our friend, Whose glance has lost its beam. His brow was cold as the marble stone. And the world a passing: dream; The last press of his kind hand.

Joliet, 111., arrived Sun- day morning with a big lot of cut ear- nations for show in the Horticulture building at the World's Fair grounds. George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., was a visitor the past week, at- tending the opening of the World's Fair. Mr. Kellogg has made applica- tion for membership in our local club. Walter Gillis has resigned his scholar- ship at Shaw's Garden and is now em- ployed at the World's Fair grounds. It will be the duty of the local club to appoint his successor at its next meet- ing, on May 12. Young Mr. Roper, now at the garden, has made application for the place. Tlie next meeting of the Florists" Club will be held next Thursday after- noon. May 12, at 2 o'clock. Some very important business is to be transacted and a large attendance is hoped for. Two discussions will be lead, by J. F. Ammann and F. W. Ude, Jr. Their subjects are "Replanting Rose Stock" and "Growing of Violets,'' which will be interesting to all the members. J. A. Evans, of Richmond, Ind.. spent Sunday in St. Louis. The Missouri Botanic Garden received a thousand-dollar importation of orchids last week.

James is a fine fellow and should make a splen- d id manager. Charlie Young and his wife left last Monday night for a three months' trip to the Pacific coast. .John Steidle, of Clayton, made a fine exhibition of cut carnations in the Hor- ticulture building on Monday. Tliose staged were Estelle, Prosperity, T. W. Lawson, Harlowarden, Gov. Wolcott and Enchantress. Several others have madi' entries, but failed to show. James Hartshorne. of the Chicaco Carnation Co.. was in the building, but his carna- tions failed to arrive. J. J. B. NEW YORK. The Market. The week past was full of clouds and storms, business slumped steadily and some sad clearing out of flowers of every kind took place before the wholesalers shut up shop on Saturday night. In quantities the buyer's offer was final. It would be a shame to quote the fall of some of the good things. Violets made their final exit in disgrace, 10 cents to 2o cents per hundred for the best in the market, which was an ungrateful but apparently universal way of speeding the parting guest. Notwithstanding the flood of April weddings crowded into the last few days of the vernal month, the general market felt none of the exhilaration of the young folks and refused to enthuse. So- ciety seems to be devoted to dinners without number and May opens with weddings at wholesale. But all these in- fluences do not cause a ripple on the placid sea of abundant supply of flowers of every kind. Orchids and valley remain firm. Lilies are abundant; 4 cents is a fair average price for the best of them. Carnations were especially "knocked" last week, until on Saturday any price was welcome. I saw 600 assorted give up their happy home for a $2 bill. Roses shared in the general retrograde. They had as bad a day on Saturday as the Russians on the Yalu. Beauties sur- rendered at 12 and 15 cents. The finest Brides and Maids yielded at 6 cents down for the best of them. It is im- possible to make arbitrary prices, there- fore, in the official list and while those given are accurate on the day of quota- tion, which is necessarily Monday of each week, there is abundant time before Saturday arrives for some mighty strik- ing changes. This should not "be for- gotten when criticisms are made on quo- tations of the early days of any week. The market is a thing of a day and not a week and floriculture lias not yet ad- vanced to the necessity of a daily,'though this may be the case before the pioneers of cut flower wholesaledom are gathered in. The present week opens warm, sunny, springy, with values normal. Spring is Here. The parks are an inspiring vision after the long and dreary winter. Sunday was an ideal spring opening by Madame Na- ture, more beautiful and far-reaching even than Bro. Beneke's wonderful Fair, which has just arrived in such a blaze of glory. I,^ater on when the S. A. F. invades the Ivory City, we hope to rejoice in its .grandeur and realize its horticultural triimiphs. But now in our very midst we have an exhibition that displays the magic touch of the Infinite and reaches every heart, while its beauties are as free as the air and its inspiration awakens all humanity to a new existence. Never seemed the grass so green, the early flowering forsythea so golden and the burning bush so brilliant as now, while "all the trees on all the hills open their thousand leaves." So while "blessings brighten as they take their flight;" bless- ings are infinitely welcome when long delayed. Now the work of a month must be accomplished in a week and the plantings of the seedsmen and the nur- serymen rushed day and night, if ordi- narily practical results are to be accom- plished.

The daily papers are giving a great deal of valuable publicity to the growers' plant nuirket in llie big tents at Canal and West streets. Ne.xt Monday the bedding plant ex- hibit at the New York Club rooms should attract a creditable e.xliibition and a large attendance. The regular monthly meeting of the club will be held and William Elliott will read his paper on the "Idiosyncrasies of the Auction Busi- ness." Dr. Earle, of the New York Botanic Garden, has been appointed director of the new agricultural station at Santiago da las Velas, Cuba, some twelve miles from Havana, A. Miller, a member of the New York Florists' Club and for some time fore- man at the Botanic Garden conservator- ies, has taken a position as head garden- er with Millionaire Barley, of Mount ■Vernon, N. Y., where his skill in de- veloping a new place will have ample opportunity. To give some conception of the enorm- ous sums expended in the vicinity of New York on country estates, L. Blair, of Far Hills, N. J., is stocking his hand- some estate with rare shrubs and trees, and making landscape and other improve- ments that will entail an outlay of nearly a million dollars. The Stow es- tate, at Westbury, L. I., is another ex- ample of horticultural enterprise and development, over half a million dollars having been expended here during the past year. The Horticultural Society of New York holds its annual exhibition at Bronx Park Botanic Garden next Wednesday and Thursday. Leonard Bar- ron, secretary, will forward the schedule of premiums, etc., to all applicants. It includes the usual $50 prize for the best horticultural novelty. It is more than likely another fern applicant for popu- lar approbation may carry off the coveted honor. The attendance at this meeting should be large. In addition to the added enjoyment of a visit to this beautiful park, an illustrated lecture by J. Horace McFarland, of Harrisburg, will be de- livered on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock on "Common Trees and Their Uncommon Flowers." Geo. Saltford has had a two week's rest on the cushioned seats of the jury box, and returns much refreshed to his arduous wholesale duties. John N. May has returned from the sunny south much improved in health. Thursday of this week the stockholders of the Cut Flower Exchange will hold their annual meeting in their office in the Coogan building. The retiring directors are John Johnson, Charles Smith, Philip Miller, Wm. Duncan and John Taylor. The Bonnot Bros, are the king bees at Flemington, N. J., where their green- house plants will be overhauled and added to materially this summer. One of the old retail houses of New York, so long established where the great Flat Iron building now stands, and later across the way on Broadway, has landed in the swim on Fifth avenue, and will shortly open a handsome store between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets, liglit in the heart of llic retail district and surrounded by some of the largest florists' establishments in New Y'ork.

J its headquarters two or three weeks be- fore Easter there were three houses of stock in pots and benches, now there are six at Flatbush and one house full at Keap street, in the city. There are many thousands of the small plants in 214-inch pots ready for June 1 delivery, as well as grand stock in 4-incli pots, which will be ready to transplant into 6-inch. Hundreds of specimens in 6 and 8-inch pots for the retail trade and in pots and tubs up to 14-ineh, will also be ready for distribution. All the leading retailers in this vicinity have placed orders with Mr. Scott, who welcomes visitors at any time. President Traendly. of the FlorLsts' Club, is taking a warm personal interest in the success of the annual outing and suggests that all firms desiring to help the program of sports, communicate witii Chas. Schenck, the treasurer of the com- mittee, to whom all remittances may bo made. It is necessary, also, to know at once how many will attend, that proper arrangements may be made for the comfort and convenience of all. And it is sincerely hoped that not a member of the club will refuse to show a practical interest in its welfare by the return of the tickets already in their hands. The American Institute of New York has all arrangements made for its dahlia show in September, and for its elaborate effort in November, which in addition to the chrysanthemum exhibition will in- clude fruits and vegetables. Dr. Kobert Taylor is manager of both, and the veter- an C. L. Allen declares that "from the encouragement given I think it will be the greatest display of agricultural ana horticultural products ever seen in this or any other country." Bowling. Tlie Bowling Club was fairly attended on Jlonday evening, some distinguished visitors being present. Next Monday- afternoon at 3 o'clock, the club will meet at the usual place, instead of in the eve- ning. A cordial invitation is extended to all who intend being present at the club meeting in the evening to visit thei alleys and enjoy the sport. Matters of importance must be decided and the club selected for the St. Louis convention and President Siebrecht asks a full attend- ance.

TROUBLE WITH TOMATOES. C. D. G.'s trouble in having a propor- tion of hollow or w'iudy winter tomatoes as reported April 28, is quite a common ■one. There are few growers in the east who have not had some experience with it each year. Some kinds seem to be more predisposed to throw windy fruit than others. Eclipse, Frogmore and Che- min occurring to me at this time, the first named being the worst in this re- spect. With Rochford, Stirling Castle and Best of All we have had less trou- ble ; the best w'inter "setters" seem the most prone to come soft. We do not think the most careful arti- ficial pollination will overcome this trou- ble, for we have seen crops hand fertil- ized each day quite badly affected. Too much root run, keeping the soil too moist and lack of bottom lieat are more likely to be the causes. On plants grown in large boxes or pots we have never had any windy fruit; it has always been on plants grown in benches. For success- ful midwinter fruiting tomatoes must have a veiy restricted root run. They should either be in boxes or narrow raised benches. In solid beds success is very doubtful. We do not believe that bottom heat is necessary for a success- ful winter crop, but we find it helps quite a little. A vei-y little steam or hot wa- ter below the benches will do the work. There is little trouble with soft to- matoes except from December 1 to March 1. We would advise a night temperature not less than 60 degrees, one 5 degrees liigher being better; dry atmosphere, greater root restriction and raised benches in all cases. We can confidently recommend Stirling Castle as an Al winter fruiter. It is not large, but sets freely and is with us very firm, a tiifle better than Eochford's. wliich, however, is superior for late fall and early spring use. In regard to melons, almost every grower has his pet variety, each claim- ing his to be the best. In addition to tlie English kinds we would suggest to C. G. D. the desirability of trying a good selection of Emerald Gem and Rocky Ford. These are fine-flavored varieties, of easier culture than the 'English ones, but rather more susceptible to disease. If. however, he can get clean stock and save seed from the same he will find them strictly first-class. We can send ( '. D. G. a "few seeds of Emerald Gem guaranteed if he cares to try them. W. N. Craig. MARKET FOR TOMATOES. Are there many hothouse tomatoes shipped to the Chicago market in win- ter? What was the average price per pound, wholesale, this winter, and what are they bringing now? J. W. E'arl Bros., who are among the largest li;;nd!ers of greenhouse lettuce and cU* cumbers in Chicago, say that there is no regular supply of hothouse tomatoes in ■winter and hence no established market. What few hothouse tomatoes come in arc usually sold direct to the big hotels and fashionable restaurants and do not go through the comm.ission dealers' h.-aids. Probably 40 to 50 cents a pound would be the ordinary price for a win- ter crop of good quality. The first reg- ular supply on South Water street is in February, ' when the Florida tomatoes arrive. These are in six-basket cases and if sound, smooth and well colored the first offered fetch $3 to $4 per ease, ac- ccnling to quality. CUCUMBERS. We have a range of connected houses, no partition walls, in which we have been growing lettuce. Since about February 1, as the side benches were cleared of let- tuce we filled them tvith transplanted cu- cumber plants from pots. Some of my neighbors said I would have to get a swarm of bees or else hand pollinate the flowers to make the fruit set. But it don't look so. Some of the ■vines six weeks on the bench have made a growth of two feet or a little more, with about three or four pairs of leaves. They seem to have set plenty of fruit, if not too much. You can count six and eight little cucumbers on some of the axils. Is that all right? To me it looks like a good deal of fruit for a very little vine. Should any be pinched out? This is my first trial ■with cucumbers and I wouldn't like to lose the crop. It has been a hard winter and we need the money. M. H. I don't think that it is necessary for j\r. H. to get a swarm nt" bees into his cucumbel- house, although they may be useful in pollinating and may be all right after you make their acquaintance; nev- ertheless thev will assert their rights as owner of the house and before you get on visiting terms with them you are apt to get the worst of the argument if you trouble them much. Personally I aiu always more or less suspicious of their tail end, and like to keep as far away from them as possible. It does not take long to run over cucumber houses and set the flowers by hand and this is surer than the bee system. I have always found it necessary to hand pollinate to insure a good set and if il. H. has a variety that will set in bunches of six or eight at the one axil it must bo quite an acquisition unless it is a pickling variety and even on that I have never seen fruit set as he describes on such small vines. On the main stem of the vine it is very seldom that female flowers are produced. Male flowers will usually appear from every axil, and often in bunches, but it is on the lateral or side shoots that we have to depend for the female flowers and even here it is seldom that they are produced otherwise than singly. They ■will sometimes come in pairs but I have never seen them in bunches of six or eight. Even when two come at one axil I prefer to pinch one off, as they seldom both mature well. The female flower has the small cucum- ber or seed vessel behind it and when the flower ■withers up and the little cucumber remains, the inexperienced grower might think the fruit was set, but a few days will undeceive him, when the fruits fail to swell, turn yellow and fall off. White Spine is the most generally grown and best selling variety for market purposes and to insure proper fertiliza- tion hand pollination is the safest and only sure method. The long English frame varieties will swell without being fertil- ized and make just as good fruit but will be useless for seeding purposes, as with- out being fertilized the seed will not ma- ture. Cucumbers are easily pollinated by hand, the flowers being large enough to be easily handled. The male flower should be picked off, the petals stripped from it to free the stamen, from which the pollen can be transferred by rubbing on the stig- ma of the female flower. Sufficient pollen is usually produced on one male flower to polHnate several of the female, but as a rule the male flowers are more freely pro- duced than the female, hence it is safer to use plenty of pollen and insure fertil- ization. It seems to me that there must be some- thing wrong with the cultivation given by M. H. ; probably his temperature is too low, as plants six weeks in the bench, even if they were very small at the time of planting from the pots, ought to have made more growth than two feet. A stunt- ed growth might account for the female flowers being produced on the main stem when the plants were so small. It is a law of nature that a stunted or half starved plant will flower more freely than a plant that is in a healthy, free growing state. We often hear this expressed as a plant flowering itself to death, which is really what a plant will do in attempting to fulfill nature's law and reproduce it- self before it finally succumbs. W. S.

Tlile disagreeable weather conditions from April 23 to May 1 demornlized business oonsiilerably, quietness continu- intr all the uoek, the monotony being relieved only occasionally by small wedding decorations and orders for fun- eral w'ork. About the best that can be said is that, while business was dull, stock shortened up and good stock did not accumulate. Last Saturday busi- ness took a spurt and stock sold up clean except on lilies, which, will not- move out at any reasonable figures. After last week's cloudy, wet and cold weath- er the present prospects are that a few bright days will bring quantities cf stock. In carnations and roses the quality is fine! and prices remain the same as last reported. Pansics, sweet peas and yel- low daisies are very plentiful. The de- mand for violets is limited but those ar- riving are still of good quality. Bul- bous stock is very plentiful, with only an occasional heavy demand. Smilax is still scarce but asparagus strings and bunches are plentiful. The prices on ferns have taken a tumble: line stock is offered now at $2 per 1.000. Various Notes. The long spell of rainy weather has made it impossible to do outdoor plant- ing. May 3 and no carnations in the field!

Oliver, of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, is vis- iting the bulb growers of the Pacific ccast and making notes of ways and means by which the department may as- sist in the development of the industry. The department is evidently sparing no pains to hasten the day when home- grown bulbs shall take the place of those now imported. Mr. Oliver has ar- ranged to send some of the bulbs from his seedling lilies of the Ilarrisii type to growers in various localities on the Pa- cific coast, and it is hoped that at some one of these places the proper condi- tions will be found for the production of the bulbs on a large commercial scale. By starting with seedling stock and in virgin soil complete immunity from dis- ease should be assured. The trade is certainly under heavy obligations to the Washington officials for their efforts in this direction. THE PROBLEM OF HELP. We are in the midst of our busy sea- son and the same old trouble confronts all the nurserymen. Where can we get reliable help? \^'itli the large conunercial places this problem has assumed start- ling proportions, and we are no nearer a solution than we have" been for years past.

The Chicago Carnation Co. is offering, through the Joliet newspapers, $100 re- ward for information leading to the ar- rest and conviction of the man who broke into their greenhouse of Fiancee carnations at 2 a. m. Saturday, April 23. We are informed that the night man saw the thief coming out of the opening which he had made in the glass with a glass cutter, with an armful of plants, most of which he dropped in his haste to escape. He had evidently seen the night man approaching. It will go hard with him if he is caught, as this is not the first time the com- pany has had new carnations stolen. ANONYMOUS.

The 23d annual meeting will be held at St. Loula, Mo., June, 19M. Indiscriminate small lots of sweet corn are offered at low rates. The weather of the past week has been ideal, at Chicago, for onion set seeding and the work is progressing rapidly. Contracting for seed beans is easier just now and it looks as though the growers will get what acreage they need. The Home Gardening Association at Cleveland, O., has distributed 171,812 packets of flower seeds to school children. E.ARLY in the season there was a shortage of the genuine Carlson aster seed, but moderate quantities are now to be had. Contract pea planting has been kept back so much this season that it is sure to have more or less of a_ bad effect on the harvest. Frank E. Rue, formerly with Peter Henderson & Co., New York, is now in charge of J. C. Murray's seed store at Peoria, 111. EOCHESTER, N. Y. — Spring here is the most backward in years, no chance for planting, the outlook very discourag- ing, trade slow. The free seed distribution which be- gan last fall has been completed. About 37,000,000 packages were sent out by t^e government. B. T. HoYT, superintendent of the Hoyt Plant and Seed Co., St. Paul, was mar- ried April 7 to Miss Corinnie Bray, of Pentwater, Mich. Thboughout the middle west planting has begun in earnest. The effect is showii in the increased "fill in" orders that are being received at the jobbing centers. One of the largest jobbers of onion sets is so well cleaned up that the retail department even sold its last pint, some- thing which has not happened in years. FROii Germany. France and England come reports of business falling short of anticipations from one cause or another, with the result that there is a surplus on a number of items. Vert heavy quantities of tomatoes have been coming from southern Florida for some weeks. One Clyde Line steamer landed 12,000 crates at New York on one trip about April 1. The tomato section lies between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with Boynton and Delray as heavy shipping points. At Cutler Peters Bros, have 350 acres in tomatoes and Easterling Bros, have 175 acres.

Ewing & Co., seed dealers of Montreal, Que., recently suffered $2,000 li.ss by fire in their warehouse. The fire V, as confined to the lower floor, and the damage was covered by insurance. W. H. SMALi, & Co., of Evansville, Ind., have recently bought ground, 100x150 feet, on the principal wholesale street, with side track facilities, and during the summer will erect a four-story seed ware- house. A. S. Begg entered peas at the port of Port Huron,-Mich., and the appraiser classed them as dutiable as seed peas. Begg protested, claiming that they were dutiable as dried peas, but the general appraisers overruled. Reports in general for the week indi- cate that local trade with most of the retailers is much improved, and the weather and soil conditions favorable for a rush season of a week or two. They all say that it is rather late in coniine. however. CORN TO PLANT. The question as to whether tips and butts of field corn should be discarded when shelling for seed purposes is likelv to come up again. The corn breeders' associations throughout the west recom- mend the planting of the grains from the cob after the tip and butt grains have been taken off. Seedsmen 'hold that this recommendation is made simply for the reason that evener planting results from grains of equal size and not because of anv superior producing quality inherent in 'such grains. It seems, howevel-, that some of the farmers believe that a better and more uniform crop comes from such grains, and contend that this is the the- ory of the corn breeders. Information from practical com growers upon this point would be a good thing. AN EVERBEARING RHUBARB. The Everbearing Crimson Winter rhubarb is one of the most valuable plants that has been introduced in this country. It is a precocious plant, bear- ing stems for cutting in nine months from seed, after which it is literally everbearing, not requiring any season of rest. It can be transplanted at any time and immediately begins growing. The «tems are a beautiful crimson color, lack- ing the coarse fiber of the old variety, so that it can be prepared for cookin'j without stringing. It requires about half as much .sugar as is usual for seasoning, and the flavor is as delicate as that of strawberries. When cut and dropped into boiling wa- ter, already sweetened, and slowly sim- mered till tender, it makes a beautiful dish, as tempting and as delicious as strawberries and almost as handsome. It has a clear, transparent, rich, pink syrup, with the soft reddish unbroken squares of the pulp, and one is not sat- isfied with one dish, but finds himself, like Oliver Twist, asking for "more."' People who have never cared for rhu- barb, generally, are delighted with this dainty and delicious new variety that can be brought into market in September and October and continued all through the winter and spring months when other fruit i^ scarce. We have grown it now for two years and are more and more enthusiastic in our appreciations of it^ merits and its great value commercially. Luther Bur- bank introduced it • in 1901, offering plants at $1.50 each. We quote from him: "For growing in California or the southern states, for shipping north or east it promises to be more profitable than anything the soil produces. Its fixed habit of winter growth makes it especially adapted for growing in green- houses and under glass." T. B. Shepherd. "GUARANTEED" VARIETIES. Assistant Postmaster Rogers has a large quantity of government garden seeds for free distribution. He has given out a great quantity, and has more for those who api^ly. The coun- ty commissioners had a lot of pack- ages of seed left over from the flood contribution and they have been given out. Mr. Rogers' garden seeds are the guaranteed government varieties. — To- peka, Kans., Journal. SEEDS IN THE PHILIPPINES. Nearly 22,000 packages of assort- ed seeds have been distributed, reaching almost every province in the archipelago. These have included 137 varieties of American grown field and garden seeds, and it is pointed out that the requests have come largely from native farmers. It has been clearly demonstrated that many garden vegetables of American ori- gin may be grown to perfection in the islands. A number of native fruits anO. vegetables are thought to be promising and worthy of experiment to determine the cost of culture, possibility of Im- provement by selection, etc. We esteem the Review very highly for its Seed Trade news. — Binghamton Seed Co., Binghamton, N.

The following retail florists are prepared to fill orders from other florists for local delivery on the usual basis. It you wish to be represented under this heading now is the time to place your order. ALEXANDER McCONNELL, Telei^rnphlr or ing varieties. THE READERS' CORNER. Treatment for Tender Stock. Apropos of your correspondent ' s trovible with coleus dying and Mr. Scott 's reply that insufficient heat might be the cause, I would like to say that it is very easy for men with large, well equipped plants to regulate heat to the requirements of the various houses, but for men like me, small country plants- men doing a local retail business in pop- ular plants, a great variety with no great quantity of any one thing, it is a diflR- cult matter to keep the temperature higli enough for coleus and low enough for geraniums. Much may be done, however, with a little thoughtfulness. As we slack up on firing and the temperature falls to -50 degrees or lowtr at night, to pot off coleus, seedling salvias, etc., in a thoughtless manner, cold soil, cold pots and cold water, and expose them to full sun or cool draughts, means death to many of them. But warm the soil, pot them when the house is warm, in pots both moist and warm, water them lightly with decidedly warm water, cover them with paper and keep them. C'-vcrcd night and day for about a weak, wlien root action -n-ill havo started, and ihe plants will be safe. Thoy will not grow very fast but will make short-jointed stocky plants, large enough at th3 planting time if the man with the hose has brains. The same treatment for egg plants and pop- pers works well. This is not mere the- ory. I formerly lost at least half of my cuttings and tender seedlings; now I lose none. J. Xhornilet. OBITUARY. John Kunzler. At Eockford, 111., April 24, John Kunzler died at the age of 85 years, after a brief illness of pneumonia. He had been a resident of Eockford many years and during the active period of his life was engaged in the florists' busi- ness. John H. Wade. John H.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Department of Plant Registration. Thomas Devoy & Son, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., submit for registration the zonale geranium. Telegraph, a seedling of 1900; parentage, E. G. Hill x The Wonder; flowers, single, two and one-half to three inches in diameter, deep orange-cerise, large and borne in immense compact clusters five to six and one-half inches across; foliage dark green with heavy zone ; habit very robust : height two feet ; a profuse blooming bedder. Wm. J. Stewart, Sec 'v. DEPRECIATION. A gentleman named A'arnum Frost, who hails from Middlesex County. Mas- sachusetts, is quoted as follows in the Massachusetts Ploughman for April 16: "No property is more subject to de- preciation than old greenhouses. The land would often be worth more with- out them. The greenhouse men will yet come to grief. Drop greenhouses like hot potatoes." That would look as though Mr. Frost had already encoitntered the grief which ho predicts will eventuate for us all. but grief is the due portion of one who lets his greenhouses, or any other buildings, depreciate to the point where "the land would be worth more without them." 1280 The Weekly Florists' Review. 1904.

The Westchcsttr, Pa., nurseries are r.ipitUy approachin}; the end of the .sea- son and are letting od' most of tije in- descriminate help employed during tlie Tusb. The call for hardy azaleas, rhododen- dions and kalmias has been heavier than usual this season and large shipments have been made from the mountain dis- tricts of the south. At Albert Lea, Jlinu., O. JI. Peterson and H. P. Olstad have established a' nursery and planted nine acres of stock. yir. Peterson has been with Clarence Wedge for several years. The nurseries dealing in decorative stock report a steady call for the trees and shrubs of odd foliage effect, the blood-leaved, variegated, etc., and those which show high autumnal colors. Many nurserymen are recommending the pin oak as the best tree for lawn or avenue planting where the conditions arc not peculiarly unfavorable. Where it has been transplanted frequently iu the nursery it is not difficult to estab- lish. The United States Nursery Co., of Lula, Miss., is owTied at Springfield, 0. John M. Good, of the Gootl & Reese Co.. being president. They are growing ro.ses in large numbers, the soil and climate being especially adapted for the purpose . The manager is S. W. Crowell, who lias recently been north and attended a din- ner of the stockholders at .SprinwfieUI April 25. All the nurseries in tlie vicinity oi Boston report an e.xceptionally heavv spring demand. A large number of trees and shrubs were needed to replace stock killed by the severe winter. The cool weather has greatly assisted nurserymen in filling orders. Herbaceous perennials are also in strong demand. Tlic call for California privet has dwindled, as the past two winters have cut this popular hedge plant to the ground. A good many ate planting I-igustrum ibota in its place. PEONIES. I have a field of peonies which have been planted about eighteen years, anil about half of them have never bloomed. I would like to ask, through the Re- view, the advice of .1. F. Eosenfield, the peony expert. A. S. A few of the old varieties of peonies are shy bloomers, especially when plant- ed in poor soil and not given enougli room. Up-to-date propagators have dis- carded these poor bloomers. I should judge that A. S. has planted a mixed lot. If they were all of one variety they would all have flowers, unless very crowd- ed. Peonies want plenty of room when cut flowers are wanted, especially for a permanent plantation of fifteen to twenty years. I would advise resetting the best roots next fall into well-pre- jiared, rich soil, selecting only those that bloom this summer. If they are a strong-growing sort set them in rows five feet apart, with the plants three feet apart in the row. Early varieties, like officinalis, can be set in rows four feet apart, with the plants thirty inches apart, and give excellent results. If well eared for in this way they will all bloom finely for twenty years or more. J. F. EOSENFIELD. MOVING THE SALISBURIA. 1 liave just read au article on trees dilHcult to transplant by the venerable Mr. Scott, in which he places the beauti- ful maiden hair tree, or salisburia, as most difiieult. Some years ago my at- tention was directed to a very large specimen that was roughly dug by house movers, presumably with an ax and crow bar; at least, the roots were nearly all cut off and the tree exposed to the try- ing weather of midsummer for a day or two before it was planted, a trying or- deal for any kind of tree, but it grew and is now quite a handsome tree. I am able to recall numerous instances where these trees have been planted, frequently under unfavorable conditions, as on school and public grounds, and I do not recall the failure of one of them. This seems very much at variance with Mr. Scott, but we value the tree very highly and wish it were more used in ornamen- tal planting, particularly in place ef the poorer trees of short duration, which are being so extensively used in the west. To any one who has seen the beautiful avenue of these salisburias near the hor- ticultural buildings at "Washington, they need no further recommendation. Edward Teas.

HYDRANGEA HORTENSIS ROSEA A STERLING NOVELTY: 2'^-inch pots, $6.00 per dozen; $45.00 per hundred For Immediate Delivery : Julius Roehrs, ..EXOTIC .. NURSERIES.. Rutherford, N. J. WASHINGTON. The question of licenses for florists having stands in the several city markets having been raised, A. Gude & Bro. ap- plied for a ruling from the corporation counsel, who advises as follows: ' ' A person who sells flowers of his own raising in or around the several markets is a producer and should there- fore not be required to procure a license BO to do; and that a florist doing busi- ness in one of the markets should be required to procure a florists' license if he does not himself grow or raise the flowers which he sells, without regard to whether he already holds a florist's li- cense authorizing him to deal in flowers at a designated place outside of the market, and that the tax of $5 provided for dealers of every description in the several markets does not apply to flor- ists." The condition of the market is verv good, considering such a short while after Easter. Funeral work is deserving of special mention and all the stores have a good share of this kind of busi- ness. Carnations are in good demand, good stock " bringing from 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen. Roses are also moving along at a good gait. Kaiserins, Brides- maids, Caruots and Brides range about $1.50 to $3; Beauties $3 to $8. These are retail prices. Bulbous stock is fast disappearing, but good stock finds ready sale. The florists of this city at last are to have a club. W. F. Gude sent out notices to all local florists for a meeting to be held May 4. Tlie object of this meeting is to get the boys together, elect officers, determine upon a meeting place and start the ball rolling, after which the going will be easy and prosperous meetings will be assured. Weather conditions prevailing do not furnish many indication^ of the approach of spring. With the exception of a few days, rough weather has prevailed ever since April 1 and at this writing does not show any sign of letting up, which, of course, makes it pretty hard on bed- ding plant growers. Usually quite a little stock is sold out at this time. John D. Davidson has sailed for Porto Eico to engage in the shipping trade. Captain Ernest is working hard with the bowling team to meet the Baltimore club on May 6, and a good time is as- sured. H. B. L. Bexlevuxe, III. — Arthur Cowee will plant a very large quantity of gladioli on the farm" of Louis F. Dintleman, from which he will draw for his World's Fair display.

Last Saturday's News printed a cut of a wheelbarrow load of Carnation In- dianapolis with the following under the head, "Republicans and Carnations." "When it is figured that one firm alone, Baur & Smith, who created the popular Indianapolis carnation, a child of the Mrs. Joost and tlie pretty Armazindy. sells about 500.000 blooms every year, and there are about forty other florists handling the carnation, it may easily be pnicssed that this city is somewhat favor- ably inclined toward the favorite flower of one who sleeps at Canton. That was a reverent love that President McKinlev had for the carnation, and to him is largely due the' present infatuation for the little flower. "The coming republican conventions arc to honor his memory by a wholesale dis- tribution of the carnation in the conven- tion hall and many a candidate hopes to strengthen his chances by putting his carnation instead of his finger in a dele- gate's button-hole." THE FLORENCE HEATER. One of the handsomest pieces of print- ing which has come to hand this season is the catalogue of the Columbia Heat- ing Co., Chicago. The illustrations are perfect and the book contains much in- formation of value on the subject of heating, either by steam or hot water. The structural idea in the boiler is unique and worthy of consideration by every greenhouse owner. NORFOLK, VA. Harry A. Bunyard. of Clucas & Bod- dington Co.. New York, was taken sick at his hotel here last week and was re- moved to St. Vincent's Hospital, where an operation was performed to remove the water from his knee.

Twenty or thirty years ago the verbena as a bedding plant was second only to the pelargonium in popularity, but now it is far from common. In those days Merbenas were almost entirely propa- gated by cuttings, and the plants were very subject to attacks by insects and, sometimes, in a damp or over-manured and grub-infested soil, were liable to disease. It is only in comparatively re- cent years that verbenas have been raised from seed, and such are models of health and vigor, making much more robust plants than cuttings, and producing as much blossom, the only drawback being that unless the seed is raised very early in the year they do not bloom so early as cuttings, which, like pelargoniums, may be showing for bloom even when planted out. Verbenas need a fairly light, dry soil, which is rich in humus and the position must be a sunny one or they will pro- duce more leaf than flower. The bed should be deeply dug and spent hotbed manure and leaf-mold freely added to it. Too much raw manure, like a \vet, close soil, is apt to induce disease in a damp summer. The bed should be prepared early in the spring, thougli where bulbs or other spring flowers are grown on the bed this is not possible. The seed should be sown in heat in light, rich soil in February or ]\Iaicli. preferably the former, and as soon as the plants are in their third leaf they should be pricked out round the sides of small pots, and after the.t' have become est,ablished. kept close to the glass and allowed plenty of ventilation, so as to induce a good sturdy growth. By the end of March or begin- ning of April they should be nice little plants, ready to be potted off singly into small pots, in rich, sandy soil: and when they are well rooted in these pots thev should be taken out of the house and put in a cold frame', near the glass, choos- ing genial weather to make the change, and afterwards putting a covering over the frame on cold nights. By the middle of May they should be hardened off ready for planting out in the bed. care being taken that the sun does not shine on the plants the first day they are taken out of the frame, if thev are at all succulent, and also that they do not suffer from drought at this stage of cramped root-room, as this has a stunting efJFect upon their after- growth. They should be planted out from one and a half to two feet apart, and as they grow the shoots should be securely pegged down over the bed until it is nicely coveted, when they may be allowed to go their own way. On some parts of the bed there is almost certain to be a congestion of growth, and in such places the shoots should be thinned out, as more and finer flowers will be ob- tained from strong shoot? thinly dis- posed than from a tangle of weak ones.

The Weekly Florists' Review, 1297 drought if the bed is well covered, and should not be watered unless the drought is prolonged, watering encouraging the production of leaf rather than blossom. Verbenas have a marvelous brilliancy and variety of color, and, however early they come into flower, they will last un- til the frost comes, so that the object should be to get them into bloom as early as possible. They come pretty true from seed, and various colors may be ob- tained separately. As the mixed seed usually produces an undue proportion of the purples and purple-blues, it is a good plan to sow a separate packet of the scarlet with white eye, the rose, and per- haps the pure white, as well as a packet of the mixed, and then the darker colors can be kept in their proper numerical proportion, as they are neither so showy nor so beautiful as the scarlet and the rose, the former especially being a mar- vel of floriferousness. If an edging to the bed is wanted, there is a beautiful gOOKS ^-^ Florists The following are books which can be recommended, each as the standard work in its own field: The American Carnation, cw WARD Invaluablf to the carnation grower.

For this purpose it is very effective, especially if the border is of one color only, either blood-red or snow-white. If it is desired to propagate some spe- cial favorites, cuttings can either be taken in the early autumn, like pelar- gonium cuttings, and struck in heat, or else, at the approach of frost, the plants can be taken up. with a good ball of earth, and carefully potted, and kept in the house during the winter, the cuttings being made in JIarch from the new shoots. A better way is to put a score of plants in large pots, at planting-out time, and grow them on till they bloom, retaining the favorites in pots through the summer and ensuing winter, and put- ting out the remainder on tlie lx)rders. Verbenas have one distinct advantage over many bedding plants in that, while beds of most plants seldom completely recover from a heavy storm in August, a day or two of sunshine seems to restore the verbena to its former beauty. Be- ing of a naturally low-growing character, and the main branches secured to the soil by pegs, they sustain much less dam- age from wind than most things do. — Gardeners' Magazine. PELARGONIUMS FROM SEED. It is not often that pelargoniums are raised from seed, and yet this is very easily done, and is very interesting work. Seed may easily be saved from one's own plants, and when this is done, of course, the finest varieties will be chosen for the seed parents. If the seed is saved from a plant standing by itself, or from plants on a bed of one sort only, the seedlings may be expected to come' fairly true. It is more interesting, however, to get a packet of mixed seed from a good collection, as by this means a great variety ■ivill be obtained, and some which will be well worth perpetuating. It is sometimes stated in catalogues that plants raised from seed will bloom m eight or ten months from tlie time of «owinff. so that it is obviously no use trying to get blossom the same year as the seed is sown. I have found it a good plan, and one which gives the minimum of trouble in raising the plants, to sow the seed in pans in May or June. The pans may be put in a frame or greenhouse, and care should be taken to keep them shaded until the seedlings are up, as it is a some- what treacherous time of the year to raise seeds if the weather should come very hot, owing to the danger of scorch- ing. The seed should be sown very thinly, as the plants have large seed leaves. When the seedlings are in the fourth or fifth leaf they should be pricked out, putting about four in a forty-eight pot. When well rooted they may be kept outdoors till the autumn, by which time they will be vigorous plants six inches high. The tops may be pinched out, to make them bushy, if they show signs of becoming too leggy. They should be kept in a cool house, near the glass, through the winter, and not given much water, or they will make useless succulent growth. Early in the spring they should be each potted into sixty-sized pots, when, by the end of '!May, they will be fine plants for put- ting out in the open ground, or growing in pots. The foliage will vary from golden-green to greenish-black, and the blossom will probably vary as greatly. Tlie markings on the leaves will be much deeper, and more clearly defined the sec- ond season than the first, unless their first season happens to be a very hot and dry one. The plants should not be given rich soil, as the tendency of seedlings is to grow more rankly than cuttings do. They will not bloom so freely as cuttings the first part of the season, but will improve later. Of course, the plants raised from cuttings from these seedlings will have the restricted growth and floriferousness of plants raised in the ordinary way. — Gardeners' Magazine.

Twii year.s ago, abinit May IT, it inaJe oiu' young carnations look like bleached sea-kale and yet they soon eauglit up with those which escaped the frost. While in western New York and Penn- sylvania it would be folly to put out in liie ground before the end of May any plants that are much injured by tlie slightest frost, such as eoleus, helio- tropes and dahlias, yet there are several important plants that it is of the great,- est advantage to get out and growing before you are rushed to death \\ith your customers" liower beds. It don't matter how much help you have, if you can't get these out by the 20th of the nio''nth you will have no more chance to do it till June 15, for all hands and the cook will be busy planting and tilling orders for your patrons. There are a lot of free-growing bedding plants that there need be no w-orry over, because a very tew plants put out by the Fourth of .July will give you all the cuttings you want in the fall, such as salvias, agera- tuiu, etc. The Geraniums for Stock. What I consider two very important plants are the zonale geranium and the canna. Not only should they go out and be rooting (a little injury to their tops won't hurt if frost does come) but if you don't select good strong plants, particu- larly of the geraniums, you will have only the rank and shabby plants to give you the cuttings in the fall. Get them out, and lots of them. They need not be the largest plants, or most in flower, but they should be healthy and vigorous if you expect healthv cuttings in the fall'. Don't plant them in your own grounds as closely as you would in a ilower bed. The more air and light around the plants the .stouter and better the cut- tings in September. And while you are at it put out the roseleaf and other scented geraniums, also a good assort- ment of the ivy-leaved as well as the variegated varieties. You can't increase geraniums a liundred fold, as you can many plants, and you must have good stock. People who sell on the market may «aiit a great variety, while those whose business is filling flower beds and vases can get along with but a very limited number of sorts. We are always sold out of S. A. Xutt, Le Soleil. deep scarlet. Alphonse Eicard, bright scarlet, and, above all, the beautiful semi-double pink Mrs. Frances Perkins. Jean A'iand is a beau- tiful geranium for Decoration day, but we have not found it a good bedder. There is nothing new about the above few, but they are standards. The Best Cannas. There is no likelihood of there being any decline in the popularity of 'the canna and there is nothing as good or as cheap as lia\ing your own slock. If you are short, buy no«- and don't wait till the wholesale firms have only poor stuff left. Don't forget Black Beauty if you want rich, purple bronze foliage. In scarlet flowered Tarrytown is grand and so are The Express and President McKinley. Souvenir de Antoine Ci'ozy and Queen Charlotte are both fine in the scarlet and yellow section. Buttercup is a pure yellow, without speck of any other shade or color. lh\-art' Florence Vaughan is good in its class, yellow mottled with red. President Cleveland is a very dis- tinct orange scarlet, and there are manj' others, as well as some fine novelties. Xow, with these' important plants for your own stock don't be afraid of some chilly nights. You will save dollars and lots of worry by 1 of these next fall. Gloxinias. If you are growing gloxinias, and they are a most beautiful flower as well as an excellent house plant, they will now be ready to put into their last shift a 5 or G-inch pot. Use a third of leaf mold and put some drainage in the pots. These plants are often ruined by a rust on their leaves. They by no means want to be carelessly watered and yet if the soil is allowed to become dry the flowers quickly wilt and tliafs the end of them. They don't want dense shade, neither do they like too bright a sun. It pays to raise each ])laiit on an inverted 5-ineh pot. An adjustable shade, like' cheesecloth, to be used on bright days would be the ideal treatment. And that brings us to another plant that will be important in our business next Christmas. The Cyclamen. W'e have had such satisfactory results with cyclamen the past few years, keep- ing them entirely indoors, that we are not likely to try the summer hotbed again. \Ve saw several most promising batches of cyclamen go to the dogs last fall, just about flowering time. It is, I believe, a mite that ruins them; anyway it's mighty in destructiveness to flower and foliage of these beautiful greenhouse plants. Now that the plants are in 3- inch pots they snould have tobacco stems between the pots and frequently renewed. It will help greatly to keep down aphis and it may hold off the microscopical mite. If any plant pays to shade from 10 a. m. to 4 p. ni. on bright days, and no shade other hours and dull days, it is the cyclamen, and every bright morn- ing a light spraying. If I were going to prescribe any antidote for this mite on the cyclamen. I should say that a syringing once in two weeks with a solu- tion of Gishurst's compound would be tlic thing. Gladioli. I suppose you have put in youi' first planting of gladioli ; it ought to be in. It seems to me that the late crops of these sold much better than the early ones, but don't get so late that frost nips them before they are out. Plant some evpr\- two weeks till the end of June. Ojchet Roses. Have you ever grown a large planting of Cochet roses? Both the pink and white are grand summer roses. Yet the pink is most useful because we have the splendid Kaiscrin Augusta Victoria in our houses in the summer time. The Cochet is not hardy with us without lots of protection, but it will pay for tiiat and a planting made now will give you lots of bloom this summer and fall and next summer thousands of buds when your Bridesmaids are poor little things or non-existent. A bed of these roses should not be out of the reach of the hose or they will do little good during a hot, dry spell. Dahlias. Dahlias are .sure to be in demand this fall and some free-flowering varieties should be planted. A supposed expert told me once that in the east they did not plant dahlias till after the Fourth of July. It may be so. but that woulil be too" late for us. I just call to mind that I remember a Scotch dahlia enthu- siast [iropagating from green cuttings in April, planting out at the end of May and on July 1 exhibiting at Hamilton. Ont.. twenty-four splendid show varie- ties. That was high cultivation. The man who grows fifty acres, or even one acre, could not afford to put the labor on them. The dahlia wants a deep, rich soil, plenty of water and a cool climate. That is why they give such splendid blooms late in the season, or as long as frost keeps off. Many of the so-called show varieties are gorgeous, exquisite in color markings and form, yet they are not what your customers will want as cut flowers. The cactus, the single and the pompon sections, above all the cactus varieties, is what the public wants for cut flowers. Fuchsias. We used to grow fuchsias well bnce. I ha\'e sold many a plant of old Elm City at .$1.-^0 each. Now the majority of fuchsias are sold for $1.50 per dozen or less. Not getting the proper start is often the cause of a scrubby lot of fuch- sias. A few of the left-over, poor and latest propagated plants are saved to give you cuttings during winter. That is all wrong. One or two of the earliest and strongest plants of each variety should now' be selected and marked "sohl. " Plants that are a good size now will ripen wood during summer and with a few weeks' rest in the fall, and a trim- ming back, will give you stout, vigorous cuttings that will want to grow and not prematurely flower. Xow is the time 1o lay the foundation for next year's fuch- sias. Clematis Paniculata. There is a brisk demand this year for the lovely Clematis paniculata. Plant all you can of it. It is so hardy, so sure to be a success, so fine in every way, tliat your customers will return in a year or two and bless you. You can buy it at a very nuwierate price and make a good profit. About Privets. We are jusl learning what a terrible winter we have passed through. ilan> flowering shrubs nave been killed back J3I0 The Weekly Florists' Review. May 12, U)04. that have stood uiiiiijiiied for several years. But I am not going into tliat now, with one exception, viz., the Cali- fornia privet. It is bailly killed in many places and Uiis is not the first winter that it has suffered. The so-called J-jig- lisli privet, Ligustrum vulgaris, is tlie hedge shrub for our climate. It is per- fectly hardy and I am inclined to think, although not such a shining, glossy fo- liage as the Californian. it makes a more dense, compact hedge and does not ^liow the ell'ect of the shears as much. If 1 mistake not. those wonderful hedges that are so admirably cared for by real gar- deners at Newport are the English and not the Califoinia privet. 1 have been mildly criticised about my advice to defer planting so-called ever- greens ( pro]>crly conifers) till the end of May or until the young growth stjirts. It is possible that in New Jersey and southward it may be better to plant ear- lier, or as soon as tbc ground is work- able, but I still think tbc nortbcin nur- serymen will agree with iiic on tins im- portant question. I enjoyed the pleasant and almost flat- tering criticism, except that ime corre- spoiulent referred to me as tbc "venerable Mr, S." I don't think that gentleman and 1 ever met. 1 am not yet venerable: only a sprouting .\raucaria imbricata and won't be ready to |)lant for several sea- sons. William Scott. THE RETAIL FLORIST i I COLOR HINTS- 1. When an artist takes up a certain study with a box of paints at hand and the landscape before him, he can scarcely ever touch his brush to a color in the box and lay it pure on the canvas. The truer bis eye, the more mixing and blend- ing and toning be must do in order to reproduce the harmony of color that na- ture has painted in the scene which he assunu's to cop3'. A real artist uses few- colors, but many mixtures of his own make. An untrained eye could never analyze the product, nor trace the pure colors in the finished picture. But we have our pictures already col- ored in marvelous beauty and form. Each flower we handle is a picture of itself. It is ours to group these pictures and to make the settings and combinations of flowers harmonious. Our work is large- ly selective and analytical. But there is much in each of these. I was aston- ished to hear a woman of taste and style in dress once remark: "All kinds of flowers look well together! " A .ium- blc of all colors of fabrics couldn't be worse than -a hit and miss collection of flowers. Uemenibering that there is scarcely a flower to be found which is composed of a pure, that is. unmixed color, we should know why certain combinations of flow- ers are good and correct, and why cer- tain others are vile, aside from mere personal taste or fancy, which is not al- ways to be trusted. This is the principle of color combination which we shall con- sider in today's chapter. As a preliminary study we will con- sider a combination which any artist will admire and recommend. It is that of the coloring found in the Perle rose and English violet. What is the reason that this combination is so excellent? Why is it so pleasing to the eye? Let us see the reason, and find out if the same principle can be applied to other combinations, and be a guide in all, or many color combinations. There are two ways of proving this to one's satisfaction and profit. Now, be- fore there can be harmony between two persons there must be found something in common between them, that is, some of the same qualities in each. It is precisely the same in the color world. Get a lit- tle box of water color such as the chil- dren use in school, and actually perform the operation of mixing the colors which we shall fi.nd in the English violet." But somebody will say, ' ' I have no time for such experiments." If you are not in- terested to this extent, here is anothej way of arriving at the same result: Glance at a bunch of violets in or- dinary daylight and you will say they are purple, of course. Now look at the same bunch of violets by artificial light, and they will not look as purple as they did before. They will appear quite red. Whether the blue has disappeared partly or the red has been strengtjieued is not so much what concerns us as that our vio- lets now appear red. Then iu daylight agaiu look well into the heart of the flower and see the streaks of red down toward the ba.se of the petals. Now take your color box and mix a red and a blue and the product W'ill be purple. That is just what has been done iu the violets. Next examine a Perle rose in the same way as you have done the violet, except that daylight will serve our pur- pcse. You will say, at first glance, that tile Perle rose is a soft yellow. But let us see. Look sharply into the heart of a half blown bud and you are bliml to color if you cannot see in among the yellow petals rich wavy red lines reflect- ed back and forth. Then turn a leaf of the Perle foliage wrong side up and you will find almost more red than any other color. The red is laid on in thick lines along the veining and the base of each leaflet. We fail to find any blue in the Perle rose as we did in the violet, but we have found red in both flowers,, and so we must conclude that if the art- ist is correct in calling this a fine com- bination, it must be the red that estab- lishes the harmony. Try another example. This time it will be Bridesmaid roses and marguerites. Examine the Bridesmaid rose in the- same way as the Perle. You will say at once that the pink, which names the rose, is the principal color. So it is, but the pink is not the only color. There- are yellow stamens and yellow blotches on both the inside and outside of the ])etals, especially toward the bases of the petals. Occa.sibnally you will see a tiny thread of red in the veining of the petals, as well as .green intermingled. It will not be difficult to discover the yellow in the marguerites. Here is the key to the harmony. No critic can dis- pute our authority for this combination. Here are some more interesting and harmonious combinations which can be made under the same law of color: Perle- roses with bronze galax leaves ; Perle roses with Morning Glory carnations; Narcissus poeticus with Bridesmaid roses; American Beauty roses with white lilacs; delicate salmon-colored sweet peas with the dark, rich purples; the dull browns in dahlias and zinnias. with the yellows and creams in the same flowers. While many yellows and crimsons, make fine combinations, there are like- wise yellows and crimsons that fight. Residence of J. F. 'Wilcox, Council Bluffs, Iowa. SUi- 12. 19II-). The Weekly Florists'" Review. )3n Decorations for the Reception Given by Mr. and Mrs. J. F. WUcox at Their New Home in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Liberty rose in its prime blends beautifully with the soft yellow of the Perle rose or Xarcissus incomparabilis, but should never be placed near yellow after it has begun to fade and develop the purple. It is always best in com- bining two colors to select one strong color and one delicate color, for in- stance, in the combination mentioned above of the Liberty and Perle rose, where the red is strong and the yellow soft. It would be poor taste to use as strong a yellow as is found in the Narcis- sus Yon Sion. Kaiserin or Bride roses with the Von Sions is an excellent com- bination. After having practiced this color an- alysis a few times you will naturally fall into the habit of trying to detect the component colors of the flowers whi(^ you handle day by day. Your eye will train itself correctly, eoniliinations will suggest themselves to you and you will be able to test them by the above principle. Gertrude Bl.ur. THE WILCOX DECORATIONS. J. F. Wilcox, of Council Blufis. la., built a new home last summer, adjoin- ing his greenliouses, and to open it to their friends in that city llr. and Mrs. Wilcox •;ave a large reception. To show his very many friends in the trade how comfortable Mr. Wilcox is domiciled we present in this issue four views, from photographs, three of which show the rooms as decorated for the formal re- ception. Every room in the house was embel- lished with plants and cut flowers, even to the dancing, billiard and card rooms on the upper floor. In the reception hall were groups of palms and festoons of asparagus, while Bride and Meteor roses were used above the doorways and about the console. In the dining room were palms, white chrysanthemums and poinsettias. A canopy of green and red flowers made a corner for the punch bowl. Lawson carnations were used in the library and Beauty roses in the music room. Tlie dining room was cur- tained from the hall by portieres of asparagus. There was a handsome cut glass vase of Beauties on the table and other roses on the sideboard. On the upper flcKus the decorations were equally elaborate, a dirterent flower being used in each room. La France roses in one. Meteor in another. Liberty in a third, Beauties in a fourth, and so on. Plants were largely used in the billiard and ball rooms. Each of the ladies assisting Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox in receiring either carried Beauties or wore corsages of vio- lets. ROSES. Planting the Young Stock. With the benches filled with soil and the planting plans complete, the first l)roceeding should be to determine the distance between the plants, and the ar- rangement of the same. The most com- mon method, and I think the best, is to run the lines diagonally across the bench. This is termed ' ' staggering ' ' and, while admitting a freer circulation of air among the foliage than if the lines are run at right angles to the bench, it also facilitates syringing, staking and tying. -The usual distance between plants of such varieties as Bride and Bridesmaid is fifteen inches each way, allowing a root area of 22.5 inches, which in good soils is little enough. I am aware that many good growers prefer giving them less, but after many years experiment- ing in many different classes of soil I find this to be the most profitable when quality and quantity are considered. Ivo- ry and Golden Gate succeed best when given even more space than this. Beauties should have at least 324 inches of root area. Previous to turning the plants out of the pots they should be well watered, so that they may withstand the drying heat to which they will be exposed dur- ing the process of planting. Turn the plants carefully out of the pots, disturb- ing the balls as little as possible, even the removal of the drainage having a bad effect and should be avoided. The ball should be placed in the bench just about as deep as will afford a slight covering and no more. A slight depres- sion should be left around the ball to receive the water and keep it from spreading. As soon after planting as possible the plants should be watered, giving each in- dividual plant a thorough soaking. This individual watering should be continued during the first ten or fifteen days, syr- inging twice daily during bright sun- shine, by which time root action will be commenced and weeds will be plentiful. The surface should then be ruffled and the whole surface given a good water- ing. Free ventilation and persistent cultiva- tion must now be practiced, as this is the very foundation of success. Weeds are u.sually looked upon as a pest because work is required to remove them. I look upon them as a blessing in disguise, for were it not for weeds manv rose benches would get but scant attention in culti- vation. J3J2 The Weekly Florists^ Review. May 12, 1904. The benches in the stock house, from which the young plants have been re- moved, sliould still receive the same at- tention at watering time, so that they may retain the necessary amount of moisture and so keep the house bal- anced. The paths should also be sprin- kled frequently during hot weather, so that the young plants may not suffer. The roots being now pressed against the sides of the pots are easily damaged. ElBES. CARNATION NOTES. -WEST. Field Planting. We are having right now a good ex- ample of the value of the sideliill plow, and using it each day to plow what we can plant that day. Since we began planting, on April 29, we have not had a rain. If we had plowed our whole car- nation field, or even half of it, at the start we would have had to stop planting several days ago, and the plant.s put out four or five days after the plowing would be suffering badly by this time. But as it is. we set every plant in nice, mellow, moist soil and all took hold immediately and none is suiTering in the least, at least not more than all other vegetation which has been growing all spring. Unless it rains and the soil gets too wet we will not need to stop before we are through, as the plow will turn up moist soil with- out any rain for a long time yet. Really, I don't see how a florist can get along without one of these plows. Shading. I notice on some greenhouses a very heavy shade, and I just want to warn you not to overdo it. Too much shade is as bad as none at all, and really, I would prefer none at all. All you want is to break the strong rays of the sun during the middle of the day. This is not now so much to keep the house cool as it is to keep the sun from bleaching all the color out of the blooms. The plants would prefer the full sun and if the shade is too heavy they will grow soft and the blooms will lack in suljstance. Give them plenty of water at the roots, but of course do not get the soil into a soggy condition. Here is where the solid beds save you much valuable time during these spring and early summer months. With one-half the amount of watering they will maintain a more uniform de- gree of moisture than the benches. (Jive all the ventilation you can at all times to keep the houses cool and airy. The June Crop. Look right after the disbudding these days, as tho.se are the buds that will give you your blooms nc.vt month, and it will have a grejit effect on the quality of your blooms when they open up. Oood blooms are worth more during .June than they are right now. and it will pay you well to do all you can toward helping the quality. A. F. .J. BxVK. INDOOR SUMMER CULTURE. I am very much interested in the mat- ter of growing carnations indoors all sum- mer and would like to ask if they should be shaded. My houses are not as large or cool as those advocated by 5Ir. Fisher, being but 20x70. connected, with side ventilation on only one, but with doors at each end of all three houses. I am growing Hill, Higinbotham,. Scott. Harry Fenn, Enchantress and Joost. I have my Enchantress in .'j-inch pots and had thought of plunging the pots outside to avoid the setback at benching time. " J. L. U. Carnations that are growing inside the bouses all summer should have no shade over them, but should have all the sun and ventilation you can give them. In fact, you should make the conditions just as near outdoors as you can, except that you keep control over the water sup- ply, etc. You want to encourage a .slow, solid growth to produce short, biishy plants like you get in the field, if possi- ble. If you shade theim the plants wiu grow soft, long-jointed and straggly, which you should do all you can to avoid if you hope to meet with success. I would not plant carnations in the field from 5-inch pots. By fall they would be so large and gi-assy that you would have trouble in getting tliem to take hold when replanted. By all means plant those inside now. If you plunged the pots outside you would luixe to wateV them regularly, and 1 doubt if you would gain much by it. The varieties you mention all trans- plant readily, and personally I would prefer planting them in the field and lift them when they have grown into good average plants. My advice to you would be to plant this spring the house which has the most ventilation and see how you succeed: then if you are satisfied that it is the method for you to follow, vou can adopt it altogether in the future. Try some of each variety to find out which like that method best. You will find that some varieties will do much better under this method, while others will uo best under the field culture method. We would not grow Mrs. Lawson any other way but inside, and I understand it is the proper way to grow Adonis suecess- *"l'.^- A. F. .T. B.WR. CALCEOLARIAS [The follrm-ing is a p.iper read bcfur,. tlip iHiTj-town Horticultural Society. April •>(■, hv William Scott, Ararilcner for Josepli Easliuari larr.vtown. N. \.] It seems to me a great pity that the calceolaria is not more generallv grown. This is no doubt partly due to'tire fra- gile nature of the pla'nts, wliich makers them a poor subject for shipping, either as plants or cut flowers, and partly dm- to their not being more widelv known, for they jiossess a richness of' colorini; and fascinating beauty that cannot fail to appeal to all true flower lovers. If they are used for greenhouse or home decoration, the plants, if not kept too warm, will retain their beauty for weeks and the flowers stand well as a cutting subject. The best time for sowing the seed is from the first to the middle of July, I use well-drained seed pans filled with a light sandy compost, that on top being finely sifted, 1 give a good watering and allow the water to drain off before sow- ing the seeds. These being very fine, lit- i\f or no covering of soil is required, but they should have the protection of a pane of glass over the pan. Subsequent water- ings are given by immersing the pans, allowing the water to be drawn slowly from below. This does away from the necessity of watering from the top, wliich M-ould more or less disturb the seeds, no matter how fine a rose was used. I do not believe in the custom of setting tho pans in saucers of water, as it tends- to keep the soil too wet and increases the danger of damping, to which the lit- tle seedlings are very susceptible. After germination has taken place and the seedlings are well up, the glass should be gradually removed to allow freedom of air. Shade, however, is most essential, as sunshine must never be allowed to strike the plants in their small state, or it will work havoc in the shortest of time. The little seedlings should Ije pricked off as soon as they are large ercuiob r handle, especially if damping off should make its appearance. The same compost as that in which the seeds were sown will be the best for tliis purpose and eirher shallow flats or seed pans used fo a receptacle. The distance apart had bet- ter be an inch each way; this will allow them ample room in which to attain suf- ficient size for the first potting. For this potting thumb pots should be employed and a rather richer soil than that formerly used. A compost of two parts old sod and one part leaf mold, sliarp sand and finely sifted, di-y cow manure in about equal parts, will make a very suitable soil. If the soil is of a stiff, retentive nature, the proportion of soil should be less and dry horse manure substituted for the other, as this will con- siderably help to make the compost more free. The principal aim is to secure a soil that will quickly drain off and ob- viate the danger of stagnation, as if the Jilant* once get overwatered and sour it is very hard to get them back into per- fect health. This compost will suit for subsequent pottings, which should be given as soon as the plants require it. They should never be allowed by any means to become pot-bound. Three or more shifts will be necessary, viz.: 314. 5 and 7-inch pots, this last being quite large enough to mature good-sized plants. But if larger ]ilants are desired, the strongest may be moved into either 8 or 9-inch pots. Regarding the atmospheric conditions, these should be kept rather moist, but not overcharged, and the fem|ierature should be as low as can possiblv be pro- cured through the summer and fall months. In their winter quarters the tem- perature should not exceed 40 degrees by night, with a raise of from 10 to 15 degrees by day during blight weather. More or less shade is necessary, espe- cially during their flowering period, and when the sun begins to brighten in spring. The leaves being of a soft tex- May 12. 1904. The Weekly Florists^ Review* I3I3 Decorations for the Reception Given by Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Wilcox at Their New Home in Council Bluffs, Iowa. ture are easily flagged if subjected to the direct rays of the sun. Great care must be exercised in regard to watering, the extreme softness of the roots making them very susceptible to an over-supply, -while, on the other hand, excessive dryness is just as harmful. The most troublesome insect enemy is the greenfly, to avert which tobacco stems should be freely spread around the bench where the plants are standing, these be- ing renewed as frequently as occasion de- mands, which is as soon as the stems lose their strength. If greenflies are allowed to get a foothold they will quick- ];,' work irreparable damage. Should they make their appearance light smokings may be resorted to, but heavy smoking is apt to scorch the foliage. Light feed- ing may be given after the flowering pots are well filled with roots and the flower stems are well up, but should be discontinued after the flowers begin to open or damping may result. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. The Chrysanthemum Manual. Among the luou who hold ]ilaces of high regard in the esteem of their fel- low craftsmen, few are personally more popular that Elmer D. Smith, who now comes forward with Smith's Chrysanthe- mum Manual, tlie first American publi- cation of value, dealing exclusively with this subject. The writer's large ac- quaintance in the trade would assure for his work a wide reading were he dis- cussing any subject, and on the plant to the improvement of which he has de- voted the best years of a studious life, he is sure of a consideration which would only be given a voice of recognized authority. Following the fashion »vhich leads authors to set forth their reasons for writing, Mr. Smith says by way of in- troduction: Diirinj: the past twenty yeurs I have de- vnted much time and energy to the cultivation anil improvement of the Chrysanthemnm and have received many inquiries from those de- sirous of gaining knowledge on this subject. Confronted with these facts, and realizing the urgent need for a complete as well as a prac- tical treatise, at a price within the reach of all, I make this attempt in compliance with these demands. Mr. Smith then proceeds to set fortli as concisely as may be all the details pertaining to chrysantlieuium culture, beginning with slock plants and their care and treating the many features of the work of the grower, thiough each stage of development, to the final ship- ment, marketing or exhibition of the plants or cut blooms. The cultural directions for both plants and cut flowers are set forth in clear and comprehensive manner, with evident in- tent to present a plain course of proce- dure for those who are beginners in the work, but it seems that at several, points the desire for brevity has led to an eConom.y of woriLs wliich w'ould have been well spent in going a little farther into detail. Indeed, we are of the opinion that with the material in hand the author miglit well have expanded his work into a much more pretentious vol- ume, although had he done so he would, possibly, have added little to the interest with which his book wduld have been re- ceived by the tfade. To the trade grower the value of the work will lie in the bits of personal opinion, based on years of experience, whieli are scattered through the pages, wliich leads to the probability that the chapter on "Seedlings and Sports" will he the mo.st closely read of all, for Mr. Smith has to his credit as many meri- torious introductions as any American grower. He says that for hybridizing he finds the single-stemmed plants in 4-ineh pots best for the purpose, grown natur- ally without an abundance of nourish- ment. Efforts to obtain seed from flow- ers grown for exhibition have in nearly every ease been fruitless. The crosses which give but few seeds generally pro- duce the' best seedlings. It has beeu reported that flowers somctimea sport in form, that is, give a flower of entirely (iifTcrent form from that originally possessed, such as an incurved flower sporting to re- flexed form. Such cases are, at least, few and far between; in fact, we are inclined to (iislirlieve that such changes have really taken place. Cultural conditions often change the form of flowers materially, also buds selected, and doubtless some of the cases reported are simply due to these causes. There is a practical chapter on packing plants for shipment and others on dis- eases, insects, fertilizers, exhibitions, etc., the whole illustrated with eighteen half-tones and etchings. The work is completely indexed and any paragraph mav be found in a moment. The "price wdthin the reach of all" i\t which Mr, Smith decided to sell his pamphlet is 25 cents.

IVparliiient of A,i;rioultuvo has issued, as Fanners' Bulletin Xo. 195, a very practical liandliouk by L. C. Cor- bett. horticulturist in (be Bureau of Plant Industry. The pamphlet is en- titled "Annual Flowering Plants" and describes the cultivation and uses of these plants in an eminently practical and interesting manner. While much of the matter is of the most elementary character, yet it is just such infornuitioii. advice and instruction as is asked of a florist a dozen times a day at the ]ilant- ing season. There are chapters of general advice on the treatment of small places, on the use of plants about a dwelling, on school gardens, on the use and construction of hotbeds, cold frames, etc.. whitb add much to the popular value of the work. In sending out this bulletin the De- parlnu'nt has made use of the far-reach- ing power of the daily and weekly news- papers, which have been sui)i)lieil with brief reviews aiul which have aided ma- terially in putting the pamphlet in the hands of a large number of interested readers, where it will do nmcb to point out the way to success and foster the love for the flower garden.

One more statement; he says that "the modern violet house, when properly handled, should control the atmospheric condition. ' ' This I will also admit par- tially, but not entirely, as you cannot make clear, bright, growing days of dark, damp days, chilly and raw, which are not conducive to growing good flowers, with the best of houses, and if the soil and at- mosphere do not have something to do with good violets why is it that the violets from the Hudson river valley have a repu- tation that none others'attain? Preparing the SoiL After having gotten your border ready for the soil, the question of the soil it- self comes next and, assuming that you had not planned to grow a house of vio- lets until a short time since, of course you did not prepare soil for filling same. In this case we would ad\'ise your using a part of the soil that you prepared for your carnations, this probably coming the nearest to what you want, unless your soil is very sandy, when your rose pile might come nearer the mark, for violets like a moderately heavy loam, with plenty of good sod fibre in it. You can work over your soil two or three times yet before spreading it in the border in the house, and if you had not already mixed vour fertilizer with it, so much " the be"tter. Well rotted cow manure we think is best or all. However, if you cannot procure this, thoroughly rotted horse manure, free from straw and litter, will answer fairly well. We would consider it wisdom to let commercial fer- tilizers alone, unless you are an expert in their use. and even then we would much rather have the cow manure. Do I hear you inquire about bone? Well, I like it very much in many places, but would advise' trying it in very lim- ited quantities on violets, and I really have mv doubts about its being good for them as a whole. In working over the soil use about one-fifth of the manure, S]ireading it out in thin layers, in the orclinan- way of making up soil piles, also add a little fresh air slaked lime. Above all, when handling soil at all times be careful not to work when too wet, as it is ruinous to do so, and yet vou will see men doing it who ought to know better, and who, if spoken to about it, trv to apologize by saying that it was late and that they had to do it, or some similar excuse. Don't do it; wait a few days. If after working over the first time it looks as if you were going to have bad weather that would delay you too long before vou would have an oppor- tunity to work it again, cover the pile with "canvas, old boards or something, so that you may work it as soon as ready, which should be in about a week as a rule E.

Dis- miss the propagating part of the busi- ness, for you can't begin to raise a plant from a cutting and prepare it, well set with flower buds, nearly as cheaply as you can buy the imported plants. The forcing for Easter is most simple. When you receive the plants in November or December, store them in a cold frame protected from severe frost, or a cool cellar, but keep the roots moist. As East- er was very early this year about six weeks in a night temperature of 60 de- grees brought them in flower all right. Next year Easter is very lat« and as the flower buds will be more advanced, four weeks may do, but there is no harm in a cool, shaded house for two weeks. Plen- ty of water at the roots and a daily spraying till the flowers are open is all there is to it. W. S. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Advertisements under this head one cent a word, cash with order.

Lettuce continues fine, at 30 to 75 cents a dozen. Watercress, 30 to 50 cents a doz. Badishes 20 cents a dozen. Parsley, $1 per bushel. Mushrooms very scarce, at $1 a pound, the best coming from Phila- delphia. Tomatoes hold up well, tlie best bringing 2-5 to 40 cents a pound. HOUSE FOR CUCUMBERS. I wi-h \V. S. Croydon would give his opinion of an ideal house for commercial cucumber glowing. Please give dimen- sions and best arrangement of pipes. X. An ideal house for growing commercial cucumbers is one where the greatest pos- sible amount of light can be procured and the proper temperature maintained. The construction of the house depends largely on the system adopted in training. If the plants are to he allowed to spread over the benches, any ordinary width or length of house provided as above would be all right if the benches are about four feet wide, with pipes under same to insure enough bottom heat. Personally I prefer to train to trellises, as I consider that I "have the jjlants better under control and have less trouble keeping them clean. A house in which I have been verj' success- ful in the growing of cucumbers, though it may not strike some as an ideal house, is an even-span house running north and south, width twelve feet, height to ridge eight feet and length seA-enty-four feet, but this could, of course, be extended as desired. The height of the sides is four feet, two feet being glass. The in-side space allows of ample passage room and two benches four feet wide. Heat is pro- vided by two coils of six 2%-inch pipes, one coil under each bench, which is suffi- cient to maintain a temperature of G5 de- grees during severe weather. W. S. Ceoydon. CROOKED CUCUMBERS. Crooked or imperfectly developed cu- cumbers are not infrequently produced. It is maintained by some authorities that crooked or ill-formed fruit is the result of imperfect fertilization. In many in- stances this is no doubt the case, but there are other causes underlying the pro- duction of poorly formed fruit. It can be safely stated, however, that good plants are endowed with the capacity to produce good fruit, and, conversely, that it must not be expected that perfect fruit will be produced on weak plants. From our observations we are led to believe that crooked or imperfectly developed cu- cumbers are in the largest number of oases produced by plants which are not, normal. For example, jdants affected with nematode galls, or weakened by thrips, etc., will develop poor fruit. Any- thing, in fact, that affects assimilation or interferes with the normal function of the plant weakens it, and the result is poorly developed cucumbers. Since cucumbers are sorted into what is known as No. 1 and No. 2, which bring a dif- ferent^ price, the prnduetion of straight fruit IS a thing to be desired from a fin.aneial point of view. One grower, however, informs mo that he has no seconds, as he practices a method of treatment which will develop inferior into perfect fruit. His method consists in the manipulation of the spines. For example, if the fruit is growing too large at either end, the spines are rubbed away on that portion which shows the greatest development. This, it is main- tained, will cause the undeveloped por- tion to fill out and result in a perfectly formed fruit. In the same manner, if one side is developing faster than the other, the spines of that side should be destroyed, wdiich results in stimulating the undeveloped side. As far as I am aware this theory is original with my informer, and we have never discovered any one else who practiced it. It should therefore be accepted for what it is worth. — George E.

I notic-e in one of your recent issues an article dealing with moss on flower pots, and I would like to offer one or two suggestions in regard to the same. I take it that the moss here represent- ed include algae, which very frequently grow on the exterior of pots and on the soil. Tlie algae most common on pots are cladaphora. ulathrix, vaucheria, also various t3'pes of blue green algae such as oscillaria and anabaena, etc. Blue green algae can usually be distinguished by the dark, blue-green cast which they give to the pot, although the yellowish-green and blue-green forms are frequently in- termixed, giving a combination of color between the yellow-green and blue-green. Most of tlie true mosses present a sim- ilar appearance to the yellow-green al- gae in their younger stage, although with the aid of a good hand lens they can usually be distinguished from one another. Certain fertilizers, especially those frequently recommended for forcing flowers, are noted as inducing the gi'owth of algae on the soil and pot. These fertilizers are usually quick-acting ones, especially predominating in ammonia compounds.

Noticing an article in tlie issue nf May .') headed "The Problem of Help," I wish to say that if the Californians would have better accommodations for their em- ployes, such as sleeping quarters, and not put them in an old barn to sleep, not even furnishing a blanket, also give them bet- ter food and not beans three times a day for 36.> days of each year, I think the labor proVilem would be solved. I am one of the many who have been there and taken a liking to the country, but not to the accommodations. So the Californians cannot blame the easterner for being of a roving disposition while there. Carl Hass. Nevada, Mo. — .7. W.

The nursery business begins in Cali- fornia about the first of September and ends about the first of May. By this I mean that during this period all our selling is done. But the greater bulk of the handling of stock is done during the rainy season which, in this portion of California, begins generally about the middle of November and lasts until the end of February or middle of March. In September and October the roses are shifted from the field into the greenhouses, and likewise the carnation plants, although generally a little sooner. All the rose growers had a big business, the largest in the history of the state for more houses are being put up each year and the demand has been great for hardy outdoor stock. Many flower grow- ers have already placed orders with the big nurseries for their roses for next fall's planting and the demand, I think, will be larger than ever. With carna- tions many of the growers propagate entirely from their own plants and do not have as many places to buy out- door stock as the growers, do in the east, but many of our home places root a great many more cuttings than they can use themselves and other dealers get tlie benefit. I do not think from present indications that there will be as ciuch building of carnation houses done this coming summer as formerly; most of the houses that are to be erected are for roses. Now that I have disposed of the months in which these bwo staples are handled principally, I will mention the state of trade for other articles that the ordinary nurseryman handles. To begin with, our season should have opened about the middle of November, but it was a dry month and business was slow starting. Down in southern California rain was very scarce and planting was considerably retarded, December was a cold, frosty month, with a scant supply of water and it was Janu- ary before we knew it. Dealers who make a specialty of fruit trees found very poor demand for anything outside of apples, prunes and cherries. Apricots and peaches went begging and plums and pears were a close second. There was a good demand for wine grapes, fair de- mand for citrus fruits and none at all for olives. Verily, the fruit tree busi- ness is a "corker" in California. One Fresno county nurseryman burned up 100,000 fruit trees last week because they did not happen to be the varieties called for this season, although they were the only kinds that could be sold last year and the year before. And now let me pass on to ornamental stock in general. Our season begins with this class of goods generally about the middle of January. In the months of February and March we had in cen- tral and northern California only nine days in which rain did not fall. The risparagus ^'^"^H Plumosus ^anus. Plants from Flats, $15 per 1000.

Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys were entirely submerged and fully three- fourths of this state received such a drenching that we will for years to come refer to the winter of 1904 as that "wet winter. ' ' The result on business can hardly be appreciated unless one was in the midst of it all, as was the writer. It is now the middle of April, our season is almost over and still the ground in many places is too wet to plant. With fruit trees in blossom a month ago, de- ciduous trees full of leaves and every- thing else far advanced, our planters will postpone improvements until next fall. With small flowering plants and shrubs that are handled here late in the spring there has been a good demand and the balance of this month and the most of next will find the smaller dealers busy with this class of stock. The larger nurseries do not cater to this trade. G, SAN FRANOSCO. The Market. Beautiful spring is here at last and we are having ideal California weather. Business has been very good for the past two weeks and everj-thing ofiered has been handled at a good margin. The price of roses keeps up remarkably well. Good Brides and Maids are bringing $1 per dozen wholesale, which price I con- sider excellent for this season of the year. Shorter and weaker-stemmed roses can be had at low prices but there is a big de- mand for fancy stock. Beauties are selling wholesale today at $2.50 per dozen for the best and $1 to $1,50 for the poorer flowers. Liberty and Testout are bringing 50 cents to $1 per dozen, with a splendid demand for all the good blooms.

DISEASED PLANTS. Enclosed find sample each of a palm, geranium and hydrangea. They all seem to be affected with the same disease. Can you tell me what is the trouble with them? I did not think much of it until the palm started going the same way. J. H. J. Besides the above communication I have received a few leaves of diseased zonale geraniums from Dexter, Maine. We think we have been troubled in years past with the geraniums losing their foli- age as the samples enclosed and, as I said a few weeks ago, we considered it caused by unfavorable conditions and when those conditions were remedied the disease disappeared. A damp, close and cool atmosphere, with little ventilation and too much water, has been the cause of the trouble with us and when the bright days of spring came, with more fresh air and active root growth, it dis- appeared. There is a most marked resemblance between the dead tissue of the leaf of the palm (I think a kentia) and the hy- drangea, but if this is a disease that is destroying the tissue of the leaf, is it possible that it is the .«ame thing that is attacking such widely different plants as a palm and hydrangea? I regret that I am not a microscopist or don 't have one at hand and therefore could only guess what has killed the tissue of the leaves. At first sight I would have said it was a bad case of sunburn, letting the plants get killing dry and the sun pour down on them through poor glass. But surely J. H. ,T. would know if he had been guilty of that neglect. Here is a case where the horticultural section of the Agricidtural Department at Washington will be a great help to us florists when it gets fully started.

The long-expected good weather lias at last materialized and has helped the plantsmeu greatly, in getting rid of a great amount of bedding stock and they are over head in work of all kinds in their line. Of the cut flower trade we will say it is dull and that is putting it mildly, as trade is getting lighter each day and all the symptoms of summer are here. All the cut flowers are showing the etfeets of the warm weather and some really first-class stock went begging on Saturday for want of demand : $4 is now about the best price for roses, although some' extra fancy bring .$(! per 100. Fancy long Beauties are becoming very plenti- ful, and .'?2 per dozen is all they brought on Saturday. Some of Fred Ammann's stock is really fine. Libcrt.v and .Meteors are still good, also some e.\tra rine Kais- erins. A good deal of the stock is com- ing in full bloom. There are plenty of roses in all grades for the demand and at priww to suit the buyer. In carnations the market is glutted with fine stock, hard to .sell at any price. Fancies only brought $2 the lat- ter part of the week, firsts $1..50 and commons $1 in 100 lots. Prices in 1.000 lots went from $6 to .'flO and the fakirs got the surplus for about nothing. In bulb stock the market is almost cut out. Romans, Pa])er Whites, tulips and Dutch hyacinths are out. Callas and Harrisii are still good in supply at $0 and .$8 per 100.

I think it is true that the larger the kernel the more the young plant may profit from the .supply of food stared up in the seed. On the other hand it is equally true, as shown by experiments conducted by our students, th;it the nearer the kernel lies to the tip of the ear the more quickly it germinates ami the more energetic the early gro^'th, and I am inclined to believe that this energy in early growth compensates fully for the lack of food which it obtains from tlie seed. We found the butt ker- nels to give the slowest germination. From the standpoint of yield we should not hesitate to plant either butt or tip kernels and it seems to us that there may be a natural law demanding that kernels from all parts of the ear should be planted. I regret that we have no data from our experiment station work upon the sub,iect. T>. J. Crosby, now of the office of experiment stations at Wash- ington, found, in a line of investigation carried on here in connection with his thesis work, that the size of kernel from the same part of the ear made a weigha- ble difference in the crops produced from these kernels. The difference in the size of the seed in the case of corn did not appear in this case to make so great a difference in the yield as did the differ- ence in the size of seed in the case of oats, peas and beans. ' ' DRYING SEEDS. The following is from the pen of Mar- tin J. Sutton, of Sutton & Sons, Reading, England : Some five-and-twenty years since I read a re- port, written early in the nineteenth century, from an Indian government official, calling at- tention to the tact that he had had seeds raised by his gardener in his English country home for his use in India; that while some of these seeds had proved excellent, others were ahsolntely worthless. On inquiry he fonnd that in the one case the pods containing the seeds had heen hung up in the chimney corner of the kitchen of the English mansion for some time and the seeds placed while warm in bottles and sealed. The seeds that had failed, although dried in a similar wa.v. had not been bottled for a con- 1004.

This hint was suf- ficifnt to start me on a long series of experi- ments, having for their object the safe elimina- tion of the excess of moistnrc which all seeds contain as harvested in the English climate, however dry they appear when handled. This moisture has heen a canse of very great trouble when English seeds, packed in hermetically sealed boxes, passed through the tropics, where the heat in the ship's hold caused the seeds to ■ sweat and become moldy. Naturally. I found there was a very great diversity in the amount of such moisture con- tained in the diflferent varieties of seeds, and that, while s<.>me seeds could safely lose an amount of moisture equal to 10 per cent of their weight, others could not part with more than 5 per cent without injury; consequently, the degree of dry heat to which seeds could be safely exposed, and the proper duration of such exposure before packing, varied very much, while some seeds required much more gradual desication than others. But before the experi- ments were completed, knowledge on these de- tails was acquired, with the result that there seems hardly any limit to the period during which the germination of seeds may be con- served if they are properly prepared by drying In a suitable high temperature and hermetically sealed in that temperature.

Special vn, the weakest should be pulled out, as there is not room for more than four or five to develop properly. From one well-grown plant handfuls of sprays may be picked without spoiling its appearance, if they are carefully cut where thickest. As the laterals "reach from the summit of the main stems, right down to the ground, the lowest sprays should be' picked first, as a heavy raiu beats them on the ground, and ren- ders them useless. If a little superphos- phate of lime is applied in the spring, and hoed in round the plants, their vigor and floriferousness will be much in- creased. Gj-psophila has the advantage of lending itself to association with al- most all other flowers, and serves as blossom and greenery at the same time. — Gardeners' Magazine. New Albany, Ind. — A.

ORANGE, N. J. The regular monthly meeting and flor- al display of the New Jersey Floricultur- al Society was held May 6. A very prac- tical and concise pa|)er upon ''Tlie Com- mercial Rose from Planting to Cutting" was read by Harry 0. May, of Summit, his maiden etlort, which was well re- ceived and provoked considerable' discus- sion' from a large inmiber of members present. Tlie usual display of cut flowers came from Peter Uuli'. George Smith and William Bennett and plants in pots from D. Kindsgrab. Malcolm MacRorie and Chas. Ashmead. Tlie orchids, Cattleya Mossiae. C. ilcndelli, C. Skinneri and Erassavola fragrans. were ficim the houses of William Barr, of Llcwell3'n Park, who devotes an entire range of glass to thesei exotics, grown by Arthur Eodvvell. These were of |)articular in- terest and were noticed in illustrat'cd ar- ticles in the public press. Two new members. Paul Minder, of N'e^vark. and William Reed, who has taken George Smith's place at Colgate's, were elected. A discussion upon new certificates for the society filled out the evening. George Smith has taken possession of the stand of JIa.ssman of East Orange, which he recently purchased. •J. B. D. CINCINNATI. The Market. The good prospects for a rattling bus- iness which were in evidence last week were of such short-lived duration that it almost took one's breatli away to see how- prices tumbled. The bright, warm weath- er brought flowers into bloom bj- the thousands and they were piled into the wholesale houses by the wagon load. The warm weather seemed to have had a depressing effect on the demand, which for a couple of days dwindled to almost nothing. At present business is much better, there is not so much stock in sight and tlic temperature is cooler. Tlie hot weather socjii made itself seen in the quality of the stock. Roses, especially, are getting small and Beauties are losing color. Carnations, also, are losing size and red ones are beginning to suffer somewhat. There are lots of calla and longiiiorum lilies and they sell ifuite .\'ell. but at low prices. Violets have breathed their last and are now out of this market till next fall. Buli>ous stock is also about done. Ferns and "green goods" are as la.st reported. Various Notes. G. Bruuer's Sons, of this city, have gotten out a little catalogue describing their varied stock of hardy hybrid, per- petual, climbing and tea roses for gar- den and bedding purposes. They have been in the business for years and their .stock is of the best and contains many varieties. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Society will be held Saturday evening, May 14. Nominations for board of directors for the coming year will be in order and our annual picnic will also be talked over. Anyone with some new or novel plan will be welcomed. M. Heller, of New Castle. Ind., was a visitor. C. J. Ohmer. BRANT & NOE. A recent visit to the establishment of Brant & Noe, at Forest Glen, 111., where I met many old friends and made some new ones, was one of my pleasant ex- periences. Mr. Brant has the happy knack of making visitors feel so much at home that they almost imagine they are there in fact and so feel no com- punction in critically examining every house. I felt so and did so, and am pleased to record that their roses, the Beauties in particular, are a revelation. In size, color and shape of bud they are simply perfection. The quantity of high grade long steins they are cutting cer- tainly shows that Jlessrs. Kimel and iSahn, the managers, are masters of the art. A finer crop of carnations it has not been my fortune to see this season, and judging from the qualify of the young stock they are at present fielding, and the go-ahead way the work is being conducted, it is a good augury for the coming season. Bibes. CoLUMBU.s. O. — A new greenhouse will replace the dilapidated structure at City park. Architect Frank L. Packard has charge of the plans. The city has no money with which to build the green- house and a bond issue ■will be necessary. 1336 The Weekly Florists^ Review Mav 12, 1904. New York Flower market. The first and most desirable floor of the Coogan Building will shortly be fitted up as a flower market. The second floor of Ihis building is occupied by the New York Cut Flower Co., and the third floor is occupied by the Cut Flower Exchange. Concen- tration of the wholesale portion of any business whatsoever is absolutely necessary. Here is an excellent chance for Commission Men, Wholesale Florists and Growers to get together under one roof. The location is the best in the cily for the flower business and the rent is reasonable.

We have two houses 16x100 feet, nine and one-half feet to ridge, protected by a shed on one side, other wall four and one-half feet high with eighteen inches of glass below gutter, boiler in a pit six feet deep at the middle of the protected side. How would you pipe for steam? Would it be ad«sable to run the flow pipe overhead across the two houses? The houses are to be used for carnations and 60 degrees will be required when it is 20 to 25 below zero outside. We have a lot of 2-inch pipe on hand and would like to use as much of it as possible. Please state amount of radiation and capacity of boiler required. S. O. B. To heat the houses described to 60 de- grees in cold weather at least 900 feet of radiation should be provided. If 2-inch pipe is used it will require a 2-ineh riser under the ridge of each house and seven full length returns disposed, pref- erably, under the benches. Such a plan contemplates 1,600 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe. If it is desirable to run the main riser as indicated a 3-inch pipe should be provided from the boiler to a point directly under the ridge of the nearest house; here a 2-inch pipe should be tak- en off to run to each end of the house and there divide to supply the seven re- turns needed in that house. The riser should be continued as a 2-ineh from this point to a position directly under the ridge of the most distant house, where it should divide into two 2-inch pipes, one running to each end of this house and returning in the seven 2-inch returns which should be distributed so that at least four of them will be under the bench nearest the outside wall. The grade of the main riser should be so ar- ranged that it will fall to the boiler from the point under the ridge of the most distant house. All other flow pipes should have their highest point directlv over the T's, where they leave the large ri^er. If the main riser is overhead as indicated the feed pipes for each of the houses should be supplied from the main by a short pipe carrying them close to the ridge directly over the main flow pipe and drop from this point toward e,Teh end of the house. Carry up a sepa- rate pipe for each flow pipe; do not carry up one and use a T at the top of it Take each flow off the main flow in- dependently of all others. A boiler suf- ficient to carry these houses will be pro- vided in one having 120 feet of heating surface under five pounds pressure. L. 0. C. WASHINGTON.

Kramer vece-president. Everything look>' rosy for the club's future. The committee which had the Philadelphia and Balti- more bowling teams in charge showed the visitors Washington in a sight-seeing au- tomobile and then a sham battle on the monument grounds. This caused the Bal- timore boys to go to pieces. Seybold had to be carried off the field. Tlie writer lias lost tlie score, but what's the differ- ence? Philadelphia did the same old thing. After the game the boys told us what a good time they had and how glad they all were to be with us. Mr. Kramer was thanked by all and given a rising vote for his generosity in presenting the cup, as that was the means of bringing all together. After making a blushing, he replied in a very neat speech in Span- ish. Mr. Clark, of Clark Bros., sang a Mexican ballad and Geo. Cook sang "Home, Sweet Home" in German. Toast- master Wm. F. Gude made a popular speech on "Where is the proper place to pin flowers on a lady?" a subject wdiich will be taken up at the club's next meet- ing. After all had had a say we clasped hands and sang "Auld Lang Syne." R.\MDLEK. Po.vTiAC, III. — Mr. and Mis. Orlin !llil- ler liave a little son, born May 5.

He began with a conservatory for pri- vate use, but as there is no florist in the county he found so strong a demand for flowers that he was compelled to build a liouse for carnations.

The wholesalers are loailed dovra with stock ami the usual iloauiug up is now a thing of the past. Koses and car- nations arc a glut and can be had at one's own price. Lilies remain very plentiful and living prices on these flon"- ers are not to be had. Very fine sweet peas, iu lavender, pink and" white, are arriving in quantities. The demand for medium and short Beauties is heavy. Out- door tulips and narcissi are arriving and are sold at low prices. Asparagus bunches and strings and smilax are again in heavier supply and prices are nearly normal. New ferns from the south are being received, which are offered at $2 per 1000. Various Notes. Mrs. E. A. Williams contemplates erecting several greenhouses at hef Knox- ville plant. Jarvis Smith, of A. W. Smith's, is shipping the city store quantities of very choice bulbous stock from his Cantield, 0., farm. B. L. Elliott is cutting heavy on a crop of smilax which is netting him a hancl- some price.

ASPECT. 1 would like to ask if it would be ad- visable to build such a house as is rec- omnii'uded by Peter Fisher or Win. Sim in a jdace where the west wind has full sweej). havini; the houses stand as they reeomniend. or would it be better to build so the houses will run east and west, with the boiler shed on the west end? What style of house would be best for this lo- cation? What is the best size and ar- rangement of pipes in such a house where the thermometer goes to 15 to 20 de- grees below zero? X. Under the circumstances it would be all right to have the house running east and west, with the boiler shed on the west end. The correspondent does not say what he intends to use the house for, or what temperature he wishes to maintain, neither does he state whether he intends to use hot water or steam, so that it is hard to give the size and arrangement of pipes. Personally I prefer hot water but some give preference to steam and for some crops the latter may be better, only it requires closer attention, and a night attendant must l>e kept, which incurs an e.xtra expense that is only warranted where the range is large. For a house 3.3x.300 feet, which I presume is the one meant, thirty lines of 2ii;-inch pipes would, under average circumstances, be necessary with hot water to maintain a temperature' of 60 degrees during severe weather. These would be best a'rranged in coils of six, making three flows and three returns in each coil, and for a house of that length should be connected to the boiler with pipes not less than six inches for flow and return, or two 4-inch pipes could be used for flow and same for re- t'Tn. W. S. C. OMAHA. Spring has been very late, but has at last opened and prospects are very good. Cut flower trade is fair, with supply about equal to demand and quality up to the top notch. A local department store had a "grand sale" on the remnants of W. J. Hesser's palm gardens. In quantity it comprised several carloads. " J. H. B.

There will be a 2i/i-inch riser to the far end. Steam heat. What temperature is best for Crane and Queen Louise? How much fall must I have for each 100 feet of gutters? How much for 100 feet of steam pipe? About how many gallons of water will be condensed in the pipes of the above house in twenty-four hours of zero weather. J. M. K. At least twelve runs, or 2,040 feet, of 1-inch pipe should be provided fur this house. If it were mine, should prefer to use larger pipes on so long a run, 1%- inch at least, in which case ten runs of pipe will bo ample. We have had good success with Crane in house run 48 degrees at night and about 65 degrees during the day. A slope of four inches per 100 feet will be suiEcient to carry off water from the gutters, but long gutters with this slope should be moderately deep. It is desirable to have at least eight inches' fall per 100 feet in the heating pipes and to see that they are carefully graded. It is difficult to estimate the condensa- tion from such a plant. Your system with 2,040 lineal feet of 1-ineh pipe and 170 feet of 2i^-ineh pipe should, however, under normal conditions, con- dense about thirty-one gallons of water pel- hour. " L. C. C. TORONTO.

Wlien balsams are well grown, they form quite an attractive feature in the cool greenhouse during the summer mouths, or for bedding, as their flowers comprise many beautiful shades of salmon, scarlet, rose, white, purple and maroon. The blooms somewhat resemble those . of a camellia, and some of the blooms out-rival the camellia in beauty. It is very important to secure " seed of a good strain, and this can only be at- tained by dealing with some good firm, as cheap packets of any seed are very dear in the long run. Cultural details are very simple, but must have attention at the proper time to secure good results. It takes from eight to nine weeks from sowing the seed un- til the plants come into bloom. The seeds are best sown in 3inch pots, placing two seeds in each, so that if they both germinate one of them can be removed to give more room to the one left. The soil should consist of loam, leaf-mold and sand, passed through a lialf-inch sieve, covering the seeds over with about half an inch of the soil, ajid placing the pots in a little warmth, such as a nearly-spent hotbed provides. When the seedlings appear, they will iec|uire to be kept as near the glass as possible, to keep them stocky and dwarf. The next shift should be into o-inch pots, using a more substantial compost, such as turfy loam, lenf-soil and decom- pos-ed cow-manuie. At each subsequent potting the plants should be kept as low down in the pots as it is possible to get them. By this time the plauts will do nen if placed in a cold frame, on a damp bottom, closing the frames early in the afternoon to retain a little sun- heat, which will assist the plants in making roots in the new soil. Balsams will require yet another shift when the .5-ineh pot is full of roots; S-ineh or fl-inch pots will suit for flower- ing the plants in, using the same kind of soil as before, but making it firmer. When first ' potted in new soil, water should be given with great care, but as the pots become filled with roots they require plenty of moisture, with -sveak liquid manure once or twice a week.

I Ixave a house llxGo, east and west, east end protected by boiler shed, west gable glass, no glass in side walls; sides four feet high, ridge eight feet. How much 4-inch pipe will be needed to main- tain 50 to 55 degrees when it is 20 de- grees below zero outside? Hot water will be used. H. F. H. If you wish to use 4-inch east iron pipe, as I assume you do in specifying 4-inch pipe, it will require five runs of pipe to maintain the temperature desired. I note a door is indicated at the west end, which it is desirable, I presume, to maintain without pipes crossing it. If so, a good plan will be to carry a riser on the north side of the house under the bench to the west end, there di\-ide into two 4-inch returns to the boiler. A sim- ilar riser can be talsen from the boiler along the south side of the house to the west end and returned by one pipe. This will give a loop at the south side and a loop with two returns at the north side. The five pipes will thus be supplied. If pipe has not already been purchased I would advise the use of 2-lnch screw joint pipe instead of the 4-inch cast. Its first cost will be no more and it is more eco- nomically installed. By the use of an expansion tank and a 2-inch riser under the ridge of the house, returning in four 2-iiich pipes under each bench, a satisfac- tory arrangement will be secured. With the 2-inch pipe nine pipes, one under the ridge and four under each bench, will bo required. L. C. C. UTICA, N.Y.

The Weekly Florists^ Review. 1365 COME TO FLATBUSH And Be Convinced that you are not going to be Disappointed if you Buy NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTII. TO SEE IT IS TO BLY IT. Awarded S. A. F. O. H. Silver Medil at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Spring Exhibition in Philadelphia, March 24, J904. Awarded a Diploma by the American Institute, and also received the New York Florists' Club's Highest Award, "A Certificate of Merit." NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTII is without a doubt the finest Nephrolcpis ever introduced, and is as far ahead of the Boston Fern as the Boston is ahead of all other introduc- tions. It is a rapid grower and to see it in all stages of growth, from a runner in the bench to a 14-inch pot specimen, will convince you that it will positively take the place of its parent, the old Boston Fern.

Dear Sir:— Please accept my order for 1000 Hephrolepls Scottii at $:;00 per 1000. I consider your fern as far ahead of the Koston tern as the Boston is ahead of all the recent introductions of Nephrolepis.

The Show Window. Preparation will be tlie text for to- day's sermon. Begin your advertising a week before Memorial day, and begin at home. There are three methods h\ which you can cultivate j-our Decoration day business. The best of all is a good window. Begin a week ahead. As a background for a window decoration, cover the bottom of the window with a liberal amount of flag bunting. As a central point in the window decoration have a stack of guns, with a large loose Wreath hanging from it. Tie the wreath with flag ribbon. Set several baskets of snowballs behind the gun stack. Here and there in the upper parts of the win- dow hang a number of different styles of wreaths. These need not be elaborate or costly, or is it necessary to sacrifice many flowers for them. Make one or two of leucothce sprays, one of each kind of galas, one of laurel, one of ivy and one jasmines, with red and blue ribbon ties. All of these foliage wreaths may be made by braiding the stems as we as children made clover wreaths. If the wreaths are not stiff enough to hold their form, strengthen them with heavy wire, or they may be made upon the same foundation as the Christmas lycopodium wreaths. The wreath is pre-eminently a Memor- ial day design. Make it of ferns, smr lax, asparagus of any kind, with or without flowers, or all flowers. A foliage wreath with one bunch of flowers tied with a catchy bow will be a taking ar- ticle. Others may be made with green foundation and a spray of flowers tied on extending a third or half way around the wreath. The spray can be wired on with a No. 36 wire drawn across the wreath frame in two or three places. As to Advertising. By a few short write-ups in your lo- cal paper encourage school children to carry small wreaths, and have your win- dow decorations suggestive of these styles of wreaths. Learn all you can about the art of drapery. Keep one or two good-sized flags of soft material, silk if you can. Drape one in the window, and at the point where the drapery is caught draw the flag through one of your tastiest wreaths. This will make a pretty end piece for a window or a glass door. Present the marshall of the day with one of your wreaths to be used con- spicuously in the parade. See that it reaches him a couple of days before the event. This will suggest the need of more. All the old soldiers and members of the Relief Corps should carry or wear flowers of some kind. You will be called upon to make boutonnieres. One good- sized flower with a spray of green will be found most acceptable. A string of smilax of ordinary size will make three dozen boutonnieres. Cut the smilax into pieces of about two joints each, being careful in the cutting to sever the stem at the joints, thus leaving suflieient stem and saving the waste of foliage. If car- nations are used, leave the stems about an inch long and wire them firmly onto the smilax stem with a single strand of Xo. 24 wire held in the left hand as for stemming. No tinfoil or other material is necessary. Be Ready for the Rush. Now as to handling the business after we have it. A week's work will be crowded into each of the few days pre- ceding Memorial day, and in order to work to the best advantage one must keep ahead of his orders. Stuff design frames two or three days in advance, keep the top of the sphagnum moist by •sprinkling two or three times, and the rest will take care of itself. Smilax and ferns can be put on the frame a day before. Sprinkle these also. Write up express books, cards, ship- ping tags, all beforehand. Where one must do many different things and there are not enough people to each have a separate work, the work must be more carefully arranged. A good ready is half the battle. Have all unnecessary articles put out of the w;(y. Clear the work room of everything but what must the certain knowledge that a box of flow- ers is likely to be pitched from one end of the car to the other, and then some.^ Carnations may be packed end for end, that is, with heads each way, but roses should be all laid one way, unless there are enough to be packed in a wooden box and cleated across the stems. Turn rose stems end for end in a small box, and they will scratch each other. Keep all lower rose stems from contact with the flowers. In packing roses, to keep the tips of the flower from being crushed if the box is turned on end, place a thick pad of soft paper just inside of the end against which the flowers are placed. Wrap a convenient sized piece of ice in several layers of absorbent paper and pack in among the stems. See that it is secured in place, so that it cannot be tossed about and damage the flowers. If full telescope boxes are not to be had, make extra size of light wood and place either inside of the box or outside under the lid. If a smaller box is required than there is at hand, split up the larger size lengthwise, box and lid, and slip one half, sideways, inside the otlier. and you have a neat strong box for shipping. For shipping designs, after finding a box which is a snug fit, run a stout twine up through a hole in the bottom of the box into the bottom of the design frame and down on the opposite side of the frame out through the bottom of the box, and up over the outside. Tie at the top. This will hold the design in place in spite of rough handling. We use a little schedule for both ship- ping and city ' delivery for a busy day. We take a big cardboard and rule it up and down into ten good sized spaces and write large enough so that it can be read at a little distance, for when completed Dinner Table Centerpiece of Roses and Adiantum. (By E. Asmus & Co.. Chicago.) be used for the day. Get up before breakfast. Going into this businef-s means a willingness to keep all kinds of hours, breaking dates for social events, and occasionally sitting up all night, as well as meals at all hours and a placid countenance above the counter withal. Shipping Hints. Always advise shipping by express rather "than mail. Have paraffin lined, heavy pastboard boxes, full telescoped if possible. Line the box with soft paper and pack it full. Leave no room for flowers to tumble around. Lead your lo- cal expressman to think that your boxes must be handled tenderly, but pack with the card is tacked on the wall in the ship- ping room. The first column we head "Time," and later enter earliest order first. The second column is for the address, the third for the number of the page in the order book. The fourth is headed "Ship, call or de- liver," the next "Railroad," the next "Direction," meaning the part of the citv; then "express or mail," "card?" "Prepaid?" and finally "Eemarks." If all the orders are entered on this card there can be no confusion or mis- take, as frequently happens when the or- ders are scattered over several pages of an order book which several people are using at once.

Review: It would iijiiicar as if your correspondeut was astonishe older, hard growth to make a good shoot. It occasionally happens that all of the varieties will run to bud with some flor- ists, but this is due to neglect in water- ing. When young plants are allowed to dry out a few times they get hard and woody, and while they often recover on being planted out, I have seen plants that absolutelv refused to come away and make good growth. The obvious moral of this is, never let the plants re- ceive a check of any kind. The culture of the mum is today well understood and the most snecessful exhibitors are those who devote the most time to their plants and watch them carefully from the dav the cutting is put into the sand until the flower has expanded. After planting do not shade the house, but on hot days keep a plentiful supply of moisture in the atmosphere by copious spraying and the plants will be all the better for it. If the house is shaded tha growth is liable to be too soft, particu- larly if we get a few days of dull weather, and the thing to aim for dur- ing the summer months is a healthy, short-jointed, stocky growth, from which will come the future prize winner. Brian Bokit. Pes iloiXES. Ia. — Oswald Qnaas has bought thfi greenhouses and the business of the Bes Moines Plant Co. Laelio-Cattleya Charlesworthi. LAELIO-CATTLEYAS. Xo great effort of memory is required to recall the time when flowering ex- amples of laelias or cattleyas were scant- ilj' represented in our orchid houses during the gloomy winter period, for, with the exception of Cattleya Triano', on the one hand, and Laelia aneeps on the other, there are few commendable species that bloom in winter. Now, how- ever, the great blank has beeti filled, but the hybridists tell us that they have only just commenced, as until recently only the species which, in the case of the small jellow and cinnabar-red flowered members of the laelia family, are not very attractive, were to hand to prac- tice upon. But now, with the resultant hybrids, greater scope, and maybe bet- ter results are anticipated. Even if noth- ing better than the gorgeously colored Laelio-cattleya Charlesworthi, herewith so well figured, had been produced, wo should have no just cause for complaint. Laelio-cattleya Charlesworthi undoubt- edlj- ranks first at present by reason of its floriferous nature, size and color of bloom, freedom of growth and probably too. it baring been exhibited in such gen- erous quantities. It is the result of crossing a good form of C. Dowiana aurea with L. cinnabarina, and was raised and flowered by Charlesworth & Co. at Bradford some four years ago. The plant is compact and erect grow- ing, furnished, when in bloom, with a stout scape, bearing from six to ten shapely flowers, which are almost wholly of a deep, rich orange-red, the lip rosy- crimson, prettily veined with yellow. When shown at the Drill Hall on Jan- uary 23, 1900, it was voted an award of merit. — Gardeners' Magazine. TULIPS. I wish v-ou or some other wise man of the craft would tell me what to do for blight on tulips. It appeared first on one bed last year. This year it is on other beds. The leaves appear as if scalded with greasy water; they wilt down and seem to be rotten. It comes on when the leaves are about grown and buds formed. Shall I try Bordeaux mix- ture or other fungicide?" S. J. G. Here is another question to which I have to reply, briefly, "I don't know." We have been looking up the best mod- ern authorities on this long known and cultivated garden flower and cannot find any reference to any disease that is pe- culiar to it. And with a good many years of experience with the tulip, both for outdoor beds and forcing during winter and spring, we cannot remember ever seeing the leaves in the condition described above. Good authorities say that tulips should not be planted year after year in the same soil, Eotation of crops, as in most of our garden products, is proper, yet that alludes chiefly to producing Ijulbs for flowering the succeeding year, or J 380 The Weekly Florists^ Review. .\IA\ I'.l. 1',III4. where, in fact, tlie same stock would be replanted. If imported Holland bulbs are planted every fall, then tlie same bed and soil will produce the grandest results for many years. Of that we are certain from experience close at home. Far more important is the quality of the bulb you plant than the te.xture or richness of soil. One author says: "A light, deep loam with leaf-mold added and some thoroughly rotten cow manure" is the proper soil. No doubt that would flower thorn grandly, yet the best tulips the writer ever saw bloom in this country, both for size, height, color and durability of blossom, were planted very late in No- vember when the soil was almost the consistency of mud with rain and snow. and the soil was a heavy clay loam, such a soil as would delight a rose grow- er. However that was not producing tulip bulbs; it was merely flowering the strong bulb and esibryo llower bud stored up by the high cultivation and scientific treatment of the frugal Dutch- man. To allow tulips to grow up through their winter protection of litter, which is usually used in covering the beds, and then from protection to suddenly expose their stems and leaves to a hard frost would be liable to hurt them. This would not be a disease, but bad man- agement, and all covering should be off before much growth has started in the spring. The "scald with greasy wa- ter ' ' I cannot account for. W. S. HOUSE FOR CARNATIONS. Will you please tell me which root you would advise for a carnation house 22 X 50 feet that must he set east and west, whether three-quarter-span, with the long span to the south, or even span? What pitch of roof would give the best light, what height of eaves and how much glass on sides is needed? Wouhl glass be needed on the north side .' Would high beds, say a foot or more from the ground, filled to within sis inches of the top with brickbats, be any improvement over wooden benches twcr and one-half feet high? Should there be any pipes under the benches for carna- tions? I am a beginner and have re- ceived much valuable information through vour paper, and would thank vou for this. G. W. P. In answering the questions regarding plans for a carnation house many things must be taken into consideration. Too often too little forethought is given to what the future may bring in the way of expansion in business and the necessity of adding greenhouses in a few years. If you mean to build the one house and have no intention of ever adding another it should not be a difficult matter to plan the construction of it, but since I sup- pose it is to be used for commercial growing it would be poor policy to buihi so that you could not add onto it to advantage in the future. In going about among the greenhouses in our larger cities you will find many old places of which a birdseye view would remind you of a crazy quilt, with the houses run- ning in every direction. In those days most of the florists started in a small way and apparently most of them had no idea of growing into such large estab- lishments as many of them now are. The two or three little houses were squatted down wherever it seemed handi- est to have them and when, after a year or two of hard work and saving, the business grew enough to demand an- other house and the purse was able to pay for one, it was often found that if they had expected to add to their place they would have built different houses or built on another place, etc. But another house had to be built and it again was stuck onto the original block somewhere and some way, often without any con- sideration for the future. It is not so these days. When a grow- er plans to start a new range of glass-- he lays his plans for many years into the future, or at least he plans to - dn nothing which may hinder him in luiild- ing as he finds best in the future. Yor. cau never tell ho^v well you may jirospei- and it is well to set your aim and lay your plans high enough. Then, again, it is well to take into consideration what you intend to grow. Is it to be mainly cut flowers or is it to be mostly pot plants? For pot plants you do not want too lai-ge houses, but ratlier medium- sized ones, and more of them, while for cut blooms the tendency at present (and I think with good reason), is toward large houses, long, wide and high. These large houses are lighter and roomier than the smaller ones and with the same ef- fort on the part of the grower will pro- duce superior stock, but with the much necessary shifting around and the many different temperatures required by the pot plants it is necessary to have sev- eral houses and all jiarts convenient to the packing sheds. For pot plants the houses must each be partitioned to itself, which may in itself lead to different con- struction from what may be employed in building for cut flower growing. I'"or the latter at present the tendency is toward building with gutters raised from six to nine feet from the ground, and no partitions between the houses, ex- cept when another kiud of plant is to be planted. These ranges are economical to build, and are in every way desirable, except that in localities where the snows are frequent and heavy it cannot slide off as it can from detached houses. If there is plenty of land perhaps the most desirable way to build is the long and tolerably wide house each to itself with enough space between the houses to pre- vent the one from shading that next to it, and a corridor running through the center from one to the other. The length, width and height of these houses may vary according to the builders" f aucy, the space between the houses vary- ing according to the house next south of it. lu these houses the eaves need not be so high as the gutters in the connected range, five feet being high enough, but there should be glass in the sides both north and south. The glass should come down to a level with the top of the bed or bench, or nearly so. You can provide for side ventilators in these houses, too. which is a great advantage for most plants. The tendency now seems to be toward the even-span roof, with a pitch of from 40 to 45 degrees, but where the houses are detached, as last described, the ridge may profitably be moved toward the north side, so that three-fifths to two-th'irds of the house will be south of the ridge. This will let the sun strike the north wall from under the ridge a little earlier in the fall and keep it there later in tli- spring, thus giving tlie north side of the house better liirht when the days are short. This must not be done, however, when the houses are attached with gut- ters on account of the shade the house? will thrc:w on those next to them on thi^ north. Another important point is the location of the boiler shed or pit, as the case may be. Of course, it should be on thp north side of the houses and if at all possible it should -be at the lowest point, so that the natural flow will be toward it from the houses. When this is the rase 3'ou will find very little complaini: The Logan Berry Trained to Trellis. Phinls in Bloom in tlie Toper Picture.) May 10, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review, 1381 about the water not returning to the boiler. I know full well that this is iml always possible, but when it is possible it certaiuiy is always preferable. The olil way of running a work shed along tl>'^ east or west end of the houses is a bad one. All sheds or dark buildings should be north of the greenhouses, if at all possible. And still worse than the above is the shed running north and south between two rows of houses. You can never grow as good stoek in thai end of the house which butts against a shed as you can fifty feet away. This answer has lengthened out more than I intended it should when I began, but this thing of starting a new place is a subject which cannot be given too much thouglit and study, G. W. P, will find all his questions answered in the above, except the one regarding solid beds and benches. We prefer the soli.i bods and \\c have only a conjile of raised benches left in our cut flower houses. We use cinders in the bottom of our bed* and the top of the side board is about fifteen to eighteen inches above the patli^. We would not care for brickbats or any- thing very large to till up with, as. the soil would Jikeh- wash down between, unless there could be a layer of gravel or cinders on top. Gravel is as good as anything you can get, but it costs .i good deal when you have to buy it, Wc u.se the cinders from our boilers, and find them first class as a drainage, after thev have Iain out in the weather a few months. There should be no heating liines laid in these beds, but arrange to either hang them all overhead or lay them in the paths. A, F. .T. BAim. THE SLEEPY ENCHANTRESS. Having read and heard, but not wit- nessed, so much about the beautiful En- chantress ' ' sleeping, ' ' thought it would not more than justify this variety to give our experience. We only have a small space, probably 200, in this variety, and with us it is second to none, in product- iveness, keeping qualities and the price realized. We have kept them easily over ten days, and they would have kept "flwake" a good while longer had they not caught the eye of some lover of this beautiful variety. Not only our own grown have had such keeping qualities, but have had shipments from the .T. T>. Thompson Carnation Co. which realh- as- tonished us. Now, can any of your read- ers explain why this is? Is it feeding to excess that causes them to sleep, or are the.v allowed to open too far? We very seldom feed. Probably wo wouhi feed more if we had the time, but would rather sleep this time ourselves than to feed to excess, and then find the carna- tions and ourselves all sleeoing. Wc find that by cutting them a little over half open, they open and last very nicely. There is nothing that has taken so well in the Louisville market for many years, and we expect to plant all we can find loom for. Had no special reason for writing these few words, but woidd like to know why the "big fellows" can't succeed, while us ' ' farmers ' ' are ' ' right there with the goods." Fred L. Schulz. Fruit of the Logan Berry Nearly Natural Size. EiCHW'OOD. 0. — D. W. Beekley has em- barked in the florists' business here, hav- ing built a good-sized greenhouse which he now has stocked with spring plants. Utica, N. Y. — Brant Bros., the rose growers, have opened a retail store. THE LOGAN BERRY. There sceniiug to be some difference of opinion as to the origin of this berry, we give the facts herewith from first hands. The Logan berry was the result of a cross between the California wild black- berry and a raspberry, and it originated on the grounds of Judge J. H. Logan, Santa Cruz, Cnl. The accom[)anying photograpli shows the blossom and the berries in various stages, all life size. It is a very hand- some berry, but is much more acid than the blackberry, and is apt to be more useful for cooking and preserving than as a table berry. But for those uses it is unsurpassed, and is by many esteemed as a fresh fruit for the table. We pressnt other photographs showing the method of training the vines and the same plants when in bloom a little later. This patch contained a thirteenth cf an acre and produced at the rate of a ton of fruit to the acre. When the merits of this berry first be- came generallv known a good deal of trash was sold by irresponsible people as the true Logan berry, in some cases most any brambl? from the woods being pressed into service, and in this way the name came into disrepute. The true Logan berry is well shown in our illus- tration and the picture may be accepted as accurate and thoroughly representa- tive. Though Judge Logan is not a nursery- man and does not sell his productions, he has done considerable in the way of improving small fruits. A notable im- provement in the blackberry inown as the California Mammoth is a cross be- tween the wild California blackberry and one known as the Texas Early. The fruit is fully as large as that of the Logan berry, and even longer, some specimens having measured fully three inches in length. This blackberi-y prom- ises to have a great future as a table berry, as its flavor is excellent and the plants seem quite as prolific as those of the Logan berrv. WORLD'S FAIR FLORAL EXHIBITS.

Vases and other facilities will be provided by the department. The space assigned to the flower ex- l.ilMts is most beautfiully located, be- ing on a floor nine feet lower than that on which are all the pomological exhib- its. The point of view from ail four side.; is perfect and every effort is being made by the management to have these flower shows such great features of the exposi- tion as to entitle them to be considered as leading attractions. This means that newspaper accounts of the exposition will give much space to them and thus se- cure to exhibitors the very best possible kind of advertising. Full announce- ments wUl soon be made by special cir- culars from the department. The chief of the department invites correspond- ence and suggestions, particularly with reference to whether any of the days set should, with due consideration for Vegetable Forcing. THE MARKETS. Chicago. May is.^ — Eadishes, 2.5 to 45e dozen bunches; lettuce, head, 50 to 75c bushel; leaf, 15 to 25e case; cucum- bers. 30 to 60c dozen. I>fEW York, Jlay 16.' — The week has been characterized by a general decline in prices. Tlic heavy southern shipments force down prices on greenhouse stock, but home-grown lettuce still brings $1 to $3 per barrel. Boston, 'ilav 17. — Heavy supplies of all kinds of produce are now coming for- ward and, although trade is brisk, prices are lower all around. Cucumbers are steady at $1.50 to $3 bushel : best to- matoes bring 25c pound; mushrooms scarce at 7oc pound; lettuce in strong de- mand at 25 to 60e dozen; radishes. 25c dozen ; parsley, 75e bushel. Rhubarb and asparagus are now in abundant supply from outdoors. A few- hot-house grapes and peaches were noted the past week. MELONS FOR MARKET. The cultivation of melons in winter dees not seem to have been taken up to any great extent, as an article of com- merce, though in private gardens, where the greenhouse plant is of sufiicient ex- tent, more or less of them are usually grown. The private gardeners claim that this fruit is very much appreciated by their employers, and I do not see why they should not become a good, market- able article when once a trade was es- tablished for them. To make them a paying crop the price required would be higher than the average man would care Rose House of Springfield Floral O)., Springfield, O., with Skinner Irrigation in Operation. all the different sections of the country, be changed to advantage. Suggestions are also invited with regard to what may be used for filling in the open dates. F. W. Taylor, Chief. South Lyon, Mich. — Mrs. S. Calkins is conducting the South Lyon Green- houses and Gardens since the demise of her husband, Bev. S. Calkins. to pay. This price is necessary on ac- count of the limited amount of fruit a plant will produce. To make a com- parison with cucumbers: Taking the average yield all through the season, a fair yield for a cucumber plant would be about fifty fruits where with a melon plant from six to eight would be a fair average. The average price for cucum- bers, taking the season through, would be about 7 cents each or $3.50 per plant. Tc get a paying price for melons on the same basis, the grower would have to get about 60 cents each for them and there is no reason why fruits averaging two and one-half to three pounds each should not command that price when oijce a demand was created. The cultivation of melons does not vary much from that of cucumbers; Ihey require about the same atmospheric conditions but a slightly higher temper- ature. The seeds are probably a little herder to start, requiring a brisk bot- tom heat, but once the plants are started much the same treatment will suit both. When planting, the benches should not be filled up but the plants should be set in hills of a few shovelfuls of good, turfy loam, to which has been added about a sixth part of well-rotted barn- yard manure. More of this compost can be added as the plants require it, or when the roots begin to appear on the outside of the hills. Planting thus in hills obviates to a large extent the dan- ger from damping at the necks, to which the plants are often subject, and as an extra precaution a little finely broken charcoal should be put around the necks of the plants. Different ideas exist regarding the method of training, but the one I have adopted is what might be called the double-stem system. For this the points of the plants are pinched out when about six inches high and two stems taken away. These are trained up to the trellis, eighteen inches apart, the plants being set at three feet. If female (or pistillate) flowers appear on the leaders they should be taken off and the lateral or side shoots depended on to produce the fruit. If only a few flowers appear at one time, even on the lateral shoots, it is better to remove them and wait un- til a sufficient number can be got at one time, or within a day or two of one an- other. Then pollinate by hand to in- sure a set. If only one or two fruits were set at one time they would run away with the supply of nutriment and no more fruit could be set on (he plant. Fruit can usually be set on the secoad or third axil of the lateral shoots and once they are set the point of the shoot sliould be pinched out two eyes beyond the fruit, all growth appearing after that being pinched out and the leaders stopped when they reach the top of the trellis, which, to give them ample space, should not be less than five feet in height. The trellis should run parallel with the glass and far enough away so that the foliage will not come in contact with it. A good, strong trellis is necessary to support the weight of the plants and fruit and additional support must be provided for the latter, as they attain size, as their own weight would break them loose. A sling, constructed of cords or similar material, strong enough to support the fruit will answer the pur- pose, but the fruit should be moved around a little occasionally, so that the cords will not mark it by its being al- lowed to rest always on the one place. I prefer the English type for forcing. Of this there are a number of varieties, but the latest I have tried is Royal Favorite and I find this a very good one. W. S. Croydon. Streator, III.' — F. L. Munson is building two more greenhouses. May 19, 1904. The Weekly Florists' Review* 1383 NEW IRRIGATING DEVICE. The aceompanyiiig illustratious are fiom photographs taken iu greenhouses in which what is known as the Skinner irrigating device was iu operation. The lettuce house is that of John A. Heyl, of Troy, 0., and the rose house one at the es'tablishment of the Springiield Floral Co., Springfield, 0. It is a diffi- cult matter to photograph the system at work in a greenhouse, as the water is liioken up into such fine spray that it appears only as a mist, as is shown in the rose house. But the lettuce house shows the apparatus at work iu particu- larly good shape, for the camera was above the sheet of water, upon which the sun was shining. It is not claimed that this system will do for any or all crops in a green- house; certainly not where a house con- tains several varieties of plants, each requiring different treatment as to water. But tests show that it will be valuable where the house is planted all to one thing, particularly if it is a house which is large enough to give the water a chance to scatter. It promises to be fine for lettuce and other vegetable houses; also for rose, carnation and chrysanthemum houses, up to the point where the blooms are endangered, for fern houses and many other indoor purposes. Not only can the watering be done quickly and without labor, but an even degree of moisture can be maintained for a long period without packing the soil iu the bench, if the crop likes a loose soil. The same nozzle is used for green- house work as for outdoor irrigation, ■except that it has a smaller opening, sixty-four of these being equal to a %; inch nozzle. The nozzles must be placed in an absolute line on the pipe. To break the water an attachment of spriug brass may be slipped on the nozzles, each being like the other, so that the water is kept in line and under control. The pipe may be easily adjusted so that any part of the bench can have more water, or so that the whole bench is watered the same. One pipe waters two benches, one on each side, but two pipes are required for each house. Brass unions and galvanized pipe must be used so the nozzles will not stop up. Any number of houses up to the limit •o.f the water supply can be watered at once. That the system is eminently practical for outdoor use has been already proven by many growers. Ilackburn & Willett, of Newborn, N. C, used a lawn sprinkler set every twenty feet and it cost them $100 an acre for nozzles and valves. Last December they tried the Skinner ' patent and have since ordered 5,500 nozzles of him. Last fall a gardener at Dayton, O., equipped a small plot of ground and now many of the others are taking it up. C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens, •Queens, N. Y., is putting in several acres, which will be under the supervision of the New York Experiment Station and will be tested with the ditch system. The water will be all metered and a record of soil temperatures kept. Springfield, 0. — Home and Flowers, the monthly magazine of floriculture, has suspended publication. TONAWANDA, N. Y. — J. D. Schultz has entered the greenhouse .business with about 2,000 feet of glass. The Skinner Irrigating System in Lettuce House of J. A. Heyl, Troy, O. NEW YORK. The Market. The market during the past week was a repetition of its predecessor and warm neather, tremendous shipments and limi- ted demand made it a serious proposition to dispose of the supply at any price. This condition of things was all the more to be lamented when the splendid quality of the stock was considered. Sat- urday" saw a slight improvement and the high grades appreciated slightly in value. The present week opens with a spring- chill in the air and lesser shipments, and tliero will be probably no cutting of rates that now prevail until after Decoration day. Horticultural Society Meeting. The fifth annual meeting of the Horti- cultural Society of New York was held last Wednesday and Thursday at the New York Botanic Garden. The an- nual meeting took place on Wednesday. The membership of the society is 201. Its work will be continued during the sum- mer in the way of excursions to places of horticultural interest. The treasurer's report shows a balance of nearly $1,000 ii. its favor. The American Peony Society was in- vited to hold its first annual meeting and exhibition with the Horticultural Society on June 8 and 9, on which occasion strawberries, roses, flowering shrubs and vegetables will be exhibited. The old officers were re-elected and John H. Troy added to the members of tlie council. A laree exhibition is expected in .Tune. The exhibits this year excelled those of 190:; in quality. The prize of ."foO for the best horticultural novelty was awarded the V. R. Pierson Co.. of Tarrytown. for its heavily crested, improved Piersoni. Siebrecht & Son made a fine display in the plant classes, having a splendid collection of palms, foliage and flower- ing plants, orchids, ferns and crotons. They also exhibited a grand vase of Liberty roses and also of Killarney. This firm also showed a collection of thirty varieties of cut flowers of stove and greenhouse plants. Weinberg & Padrock. of Woodside. ex- hibited succulent plants. H. T. Clinka- beiTy, of Trenton, showed the yellow calla. J. H. Trov had Dorotliy Perkins; rose and Frank Weinberg a phyllocactus. The group of Scottii ferns in 6 to 12- inch pots formed one of the most attract- ive features of the exhibition. Mr. Scott will have a fine exhibit of this fern at the St. Louis convention. The lecture on Wednesday afternoon, by J. Horace MacFarland, of Harris- burg, Pa., was greatly appreciated and intensely interesting. It was illustrated by many beautiful stereopticon views, showing the unfolding of The flowers of our common native trees, the subject of the address being "Common Trees and Their Uncommon Flowers. ' ' An enthu- siastic vote of thanks was accorded the lecturer. A repetition of the lecture in the rooms of the New York Florists- Club during the coming season would I'lovide a larger and more appreciative audience. Various Notes. Preparations are already in progress for the great horticultural and agricul- tural exhibition to be given by the American Institute of New York No- vember 8 to 17. The Herald Square Hall, the largest for the purpose in America, has been chosen for the show. Silver evips, medals and diplomas in all classes will be awarded, as well as over UMO in cash prizes. The special fea- ture of the first week will be the chrysan- themum show. The directors of the In- stitute are exceedingly enthusiastic and aic determined to make this the great- est exhibition of its kind ever given in America. The New York Flower ilarket begins to look better than a dream. The pro nosed building will be a handsome struc- ture. It is favored by all the city's lead ino' officials. The market will cover a bis space and will be built two stories in height, with every convenience that r.ivent Garden, of London, furnishes, with modern additions that will attract many branches of the trade to a repre- sentation there. Consummated, it will be a monumeut to .John Birnie's persistency and energy. The second Jlonday in June the club's last meetini? until Sentember takes place and in addition to the peony exhibit it "•111 be ladies' night and a midsummer bauouet for the fair sex will make the evening one of snecial interest. Provision will be made for an attendance of 300. 1384 The Weekly Florists^ Review. JLvY 10. 1004. The route chosen for the St. Louis cou- veiition will be announced at this nieet- iufr, and there seems every probability of. the usual eastern contingent attending. Some fear has been expressed as to the lack of suitable accommodations, but I am confident Brother BeniJce and the balance of the big hearted Jlissourians will ' ' show ' ' the New Yorkers what re-!t and comfort mean, notwithstanding the disadvantages of crowds. I am confident the welcome will be warmer than the weather, and if the St. Louis brethren will announce soon the desirable and pos- sible places of refuge selected, prior arrangements can be made. The s.vmpathy of the trade goes out to President Frank H. Traendly, in the death of his only boy, which occurred last week, the funeral being held on Fri- day, from the residence, 421 Third street, Brooklyn, to Greenwood cemetery. Many floral tokens of regard were sent by friends. Ralph, son of J. J. Perkins, is slowly improving in health in the Adirondacks. On account of his manager's long ill- ness. Jlr. Perkins has decided to dispose of his branch store on West Thirtictli street. The wholesalers on Monday began the early closing movement, making 6 p. m. the hour until July 1. During the sum- mer an effort is being made to secui-e the co-operation of all in a half hoH- dav concession, a scheme that could ea'-ilv be made possible and profitable during Julv and August. .Tohn B. Xugent, of Young & Nugent. has been ill for a week with tonsilitis, but is on deck again. Wra. Ghormley is confined to his home in Mt. Vernon by a severe attack of rheumatism. The three representatives of R. M. Ward & Co. have completed their sea- son 's travel and report a very successful year 's business. Bowling. The New York Bowling Club decide! at its last meeting to change the nisht of bowling to Tuesday evenings. The new alleys are on Twenty-third street, rear Sixth avenue, in the old Koster « Biel building, most convenient for all. and on an evening when th" ma.ioritv of the club members will find it possible to b<> nresent. A large turn-out of all the old members and their friends next T'ie=- dav evening is requested. A handsome prize will lie given the member making the greatest score. Some arranifement as to the members to represent the club at St. Louis will be made and the prcs- peetive challenges from Washington, Philadelphia, Flatbush and the Morris Count.y Gardeners' clubs considered. The changes as to evening and alleys have been made to meet the wishes of the ma.iority and every member who has any interest in the club's welfare is requested to show it practically by being at this meeting. The scores on A'onday evening were crcAUtaUe, the attendance light. They are as follows: Plnrer. 1st. 2rt. M. 4th. .">tli. 0th.

Galloway reports that on the morning of May 16 frost did much injurv to outdoor stock, peonies especi- al! v. ■ CHICAGO. The Market. Since last report the market has showr a very gratifying turn for tlie better, not that any unusual activity is appar- ent, but the unwieldy surplus has been cut down to something like the needs of the season and the wholesalers are no longer wholly at the mercy of the Greeks iu the matter of clearing up on the sta- ples. Several days of unusually cool weather have no doubt assisted in re- ducing tlie receipts and replanting the rose houses is r.el! under way with miiny glowers, which makes an appreciable iliflference. Buds are, of course, smaller than earlier in the season, but color is fair. There is good stock in plenty for all legitimate requirements. Carnations are shipping better than they did in the recent hot weather and there is still plenty of good stock, but the receipts are held so well in hand that all command some sort of a price. There are still too large supplies of callas and Easter lilies and considerable waste. Valley moves slowly. Kenni- cctt's at Carbondale, are sending in irises, but they sell slowly. Xarcissi are a drug. Sweet peas and pansies av plentiful. Good lilac is slow sale; so is cape jasmine. All the other miscellan- ci'us items arc abundant, with no steady unirket. Decoration Day Prospects. All thoughts are now centered on Dec- oration day, which has become of very great importance in this market. Al- though stock has shortened up material- ly this week, every one expects ample supplies; a few warm days wall bring on a big cut again. However, early or- ders are always advisable. Decoration day is essentially an occasion for cheap prices and advance quotations show lit- tle if any advance over current rates. But there are those who think the call for ordinary grade carnations may bring an advance on late orders. It is noteworthy that where local peonies are often in full supply for Decoration day. this year we shall have to do business on the southern cut. Old Eed is just coming from southern Illi- nois, while usually the main crop is pretty well cut by this date. There is evident anxiety on the part ■ of Texas and Alabama dealers to move the cape jasmines and unusually large quantities are already in the market. No matter what may turn up short for Decoration day, there will be plenty of <--ipes, and of good quality. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club held its first Thurs- dav evening meeting May 12 in the new hail, the attendance being rather light. The president appointed a committee on (•(.-operation with the Horticultural So- ciety as follows: J. C Vaughan, C. L. Washburn, Leonard Kill, N. J. Wietor, .l(hn Pochlmann. The committee will iK.ve charge of the club's interests in ll], ;uilun'in flower show and will play :in important part in making it the best show ever held in Chicago. The com- mittee on rovisi(jn of the by-laws re- ported lack of progress and was in- structed by the chair to "get busy" be- fore the next meeting. May 26. The new certificates ordered by the club were on exhibition and were pronounced ;i handsome piece of printing. Some time ago the secretary of state at Springfield (Icclared the club's char- lei forfeited for failure to file an affida- vit, as required of corporations, showing tiiat it was not a member of any trust or crmbination ! Tiiis was not discovered lor some time, but the reinstatement of the charter has now been secured by friends of the club without the reincor- poration which was at first feared to be recossary. The FaU Show. Plans are well under way for the fall exhibition of the Horticultural Society of Chicago, the premium list for which is expected to be ready for distribution this week. As was announced in the Review some time ago, the hall selected, cr really three or four halls practically as one, is at the ninth floor of the Fine Alts building and Auditorium Hotel, the two buildings being connected on this floor. It seems an ideal location, even better than the Auditorium theater and at a fraction the expense, which will be a relief to those in charge of the finan- cial end of the show. The visitors will he carried to the exhibition floor by the three large elevators in the Fine Arts building and the exit will be through the Auditorium Hotel elevators. There are t\.o large freight elevators for the hand- ling of "exhibits. The date of the show has not yet been fixed, but it will be about the middle of November, a week after the presidential election. Various Notes. .Tohn Welter has leased the .lacob Fliillip place at Rogers Park and will ti:kc possession about August 1. The place is now in carnations and there are 50.000 plants in the field for next sea- son's planting, but the now proprietor expects to put the whole place iu let- tuce. Another Rogers Park carnation es- tablishment recently changed hands by lease, Albert Lies taking the Paul Gaert- ner jilace. Mr. Gaertner will go into other business. John Muir has a conservatory in course of erection at hi? new place at I'orty-seventh and Grand boulevard. He expects to move about June 1. The Gloede Floral Co., at Evanston, is suiding the E. F. Winterson Co. some remarkable Flora Hill carnations. They J 386 The Weekly t^lorists' Review. May 10. 1904. have three-foot stems, but the length is not so unusual as the stieugth. The plants are said to be growing in lettuce soil. John Muuo has decided to reduce his rose planting and go more heavily into carnations lor next sea.sou. He will therefore keep lus roses going as late as possible instead of replanting very can;', as has been his custom. J. A. Budlong expects to have his new " range ready next week for planting to Beauties. Henry Payne will soon take up, divide and reset all the plants in his big house of adiantum, 4,500 in all, giving him a surplus of divided plants to market. He will also plant some of Kasting's Crow- eanum. Ivory rose is not popular in this mar- ket and several growers will discard it, among them Sinner Bros., who will also reduce their planting of Beauties and give additional space to Brides and Maids, with a few Chatenay. Eniil Kunz is now foreman at this place. Coal on track for immediate delivery is down to a very reasonable figure; de- murrage is piling up on it. Baumann & Co., dealers in florists' supplies and artificial flowers, have re- moved to large quarters on the fourtii floor at 76 and 78 Wabash avenue, over Bassett & Washburn and E. H. Hunt. They make very attractive goods in their line and are already planning their ex- hibit at the St. Louis S. A. F. convention. O. P. Bassett has returned from a stay at West Baden. C. W. McKellar has been getting in large quantities of good outdoor violets which have sold well at 10 cents a bunch. C. jM. Dickinson, manager of E. H. Hunt's, has been at St. Paul for a few days on business. C. \V. Northrup, at La Grange, is sending Kennicott Bros. Co. some unusu- ally good outdoor tulips and Mr. Pieser says they are selling better than the in- door crops did. They have brought as high as 5 and 6 cents. The Andrew McNally funeral last Sat- urday made business for the retailers, nearl.v all the leading stores being repre- sented in the very large floral display. E. C.

The feature of the market was the sharp advance in Beauty roses at the close of last week. George Samtman hail notified his customers that roses wouhl be higher. It is probable that he counted on the crops going oft' about Wyndmoor, basing his conclusion ou that fact only. The festivities attending the coaching parade last Saturday, the visit of our president's daughter. — no, Roosevelt's not Wcsteott 's— and other things brought good demand and higher prices sooner than anticipated. Sweet peas and valley have also been in very fair demand. Thi'-' week the general tone of the market is rather dull, and on Wednesday Beauties •nere lower. There are more poor flowers about than heretofore. The street men are active, snapping up bargains at a great rate. Wyncote. Visiting Wyncote when the genial pro- prietor is away seems much like wit- nessing the play of Hamlet without the prince. While everything looked neat and orderly as always, one couldn't help feeling there was something missing when the genial smile and homely story of Jo- seph Heacoek were not there. A hurried look through showed the great Beauties producing their last crop of specials be- fore the annual house cleaning. A house of Libert}' was not staked, but the plants kept ofl' the walks by wires run along the edge of and above the table. The foliage on this variety was exceptionally luxuriant, promise of a good crop of bloom. A 250-foot house full of palms was a fine sight, the ]dants being tall and bushy, of good color and shape. Tlie carnations were loaded with buds, look- ins fit for much work yet. A feature of this place is the side ventilation, freely used in mild weather during the day. both on carnations and roses. Much im- portance is attached to this form of ven- tilation, and to it may be due in part the general good health of the plants al- wavs noticeable. Thomas Cartledge once urged me to visit this idace, saying it was the most eeonomicallv heated place he knew. This is most true. With tli- houses compactly built on the side of a hill with southern exposure, the sun has full power, cold north winds are cut ofif and steam heat ascends easily to th.^ house farthest from the boilers. Various Notes. Leo Niessen believes that there will be a sood supply of peonies, as well as of choice greenhouse flowers, for Decora- tion day. There is no question that the demand in the city for that day is stead- ily increasing. It is curious how much commotion Utf little word "the" can make. 11. Baj-ersdorfer will sail for Europe, Tuesday, May 24, on the good ship Kaiser Wilhelm, on his annual business trip in search of the best novelties and standard supplies that the market af- fords, ilrs.

The Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society, at its meeting May 11, decided to hold its ninth annual show on October 27 and 28. The schedule is arranged and copies may be had from tl;e secretary of the society, S. Eed- stone. While all the regular classes are well taken care of, there are some spe- cial prizes worthy of attention. Among them are prizes offered by Messrs. Hen- derson and Thorburn for vegetables, a prize for carnations from Messrs. Far- quhar, of Boston, and other specials from Stumpp & Walter, Pierson-Sefton Co. and others. The date is set rather earlier than usual, owing to the fact that sev- eral of the largest exhibitors of chrys- anthemums, notably Messrs. Herrington and Duckham, are already laying their plans to attend the National Chrysan- themum Society's show in Boston and it was deemed advisable not to conflict with the larger organization in the mat- ter of dates. Own-Root Roses Preferred. At this meeting, after the regular order of business had been disposed of, the society listened to a talk on roses by J. Eusicka, who handled his subject in a very masterly way. In an organiza- tion composed so largely of rose growers, it goes without saying that considerable discussion ensued and probably the most interesting point brought out was the fact that the growers in this section are a unit in saying that own-root stock, when proper selection of the cuttings is made, is superior to the grafted stock. Grafted roses have been largely tried and careful comparisons made, and to- day the growers have all gone back to the own-root stock. It is not, however, to be inferred by this that own-root stock is preferable to grafted every- where. It is well known that in certain sections the grafted stock shows a marked advantage, but apparently every grower has to work out his own salva- tion and decide which best suits his soil and climatic conditions. Rose Growers Pessimistic. I find in this section a very pessim- istic view of the wholesale rose grow- ing business. Just at present the output daily is enormous, the quality never better at this season, and the prices never worse. It is generally conceded that the man who has paid his coal bill .and all other expenses and broken even is a lucky man this year. Prices have Ijcen wretched in New York all the winter and the weather being so unpre- cedent'edly cold has simply meant that the small margin of profit has been wiped out. I hear no talk of building operations anywhere and the man who would enlarge in the face of the pres- ent conditions, as prevailing here, would be indeed an optimist. One by one the small, older establishments are falling by the wayside and many of the remain- ing places are for rent. Whether next winter will show any improvement in prices remains to be seen. One thing is certain, if it does not improve, many of the craft will find themselves in finan- cial difiiculties. Visitor. Philadelphia.; — Charles Bond, an Eng- lish gardener, has succeeded Alphonse Pericat as head orchid grower for Mrs. C. B. Wilson. BUFFALO. A Good Week. From various causes, business was quite brisk last week and cooler weather shortened up supplies. Opening of stores, big and little, went on, so alto; gcther it might be called a healthy week. There has been a great scarcity of pan- sies this spring and because there are sfarcly any to be found the demand has seemed great. Winter killed, is the cry. Club Doings. The annual election of officers of the Buffalo Florists' Club, followed by a banquet, was to have occurred on Tues- day last. The banquet did occur all right, but the sticklers for adhering strictly to the constitution and by-laws would not hear of an election, as that must take place on the first meeting in March. So, much against the desires of several of the present officers, they will all hold over to the next legal date of election. The unwisdom of putting off our annual gathering till the busy month of May was clearly shown in the limited attendance; few of the rural members were in. Yet that good and faithful Charlie Guenther was on hand and so was Fred Lewis, from Lockport. If the gathering was small it was mighty select and the committee of arrange- n:ents had done its full duty. The deco- rations were fine and the menu was choice, tasty and in great variety. The orchestra played sweetly and their reper- toire included many old favorites as well as the very latest, such as "I Am Wear- ing My Heart Away for You" and ' ' Bedelia. ' ' John Pickleman and Louis H. Keubeck sang several comic songs in German, which were much enjoyed by these familiar with the Teutonic language, but as the writer has dropped German and taken up Corean he would have bet- ter appreciated these efforts in the Yiang Chiang Ungo. I am not going to inflict on you any long account of the exercises. Mr. Hast- ing, as chairman of the banquet com- mittee, rapped for order and then in- stalled the president, W. S., as toast- master. Now we know several young men and perhaps old ones, too, who ab- sent themselves from these pleasant af- fairs just because they are afraid they are going to be called upon for "a few lemarks. " So the toastmaster announced that he would only call on three or four for speeches and the rest would have to bt volunteers, with a song, a story or anything that they liked to offer, as long as it was fitting the occasion and becom- ing the dignity of a florist. Long before the set speeches were concluded James Buxton contributed a solo, instrumental, cjilled the hand and leg banjo. He said ho saw it on the Columbian Midway. Mr. Kasting, D. B. Long, Charlie Keitsch and Louis Neubeck all made good, sensible talks and then there were very good volunteers. G. StafBinger, who has lately been appointed superin- tendent of Holy Cross cemetery, sur- prised us with his eloquence and up-to- date ideas of cemetery management. His talk was lively, even if it was rather a dead subject. It was a most enjoya- ble evening and there is little excuse for several vacant chairs. It is selfish and V. rong not to support the local club and .1 new bab.y or new business is no excuse for your absence on this one night when I all should meet. One word more. Let J 388 The Weekly Florists^ Review. May 19, 1904. no visiting florist come to town and fail to see the bnililing, the conveniences ami sjiaeious halls and rooms in W. F. Kasting's new qnarters, and there is where the festivities were held. A Visit to Fredonia, The writer paid a short visit to the pretty village of Fredonia one day last week .Tnd if it l;ad not rained continu- ously he might have called on several more florists than he did. It is vino- yards every way you look, not attractive at this time of year, yet beautiful and rich when Concord's purple clusters load down the vines in October. I remember some fourteen years ago quoting figures that were given me which were to the effect that this famous grape belt ex- tending from Silver Creek, N. Y., to Harbor Creek, Pa., shipped in one sea- son 2,900 car loads of grapes. Those figures would look small now. Last fall I believe there were more than 9,000 ear leads. Fredonia has also large canning factories and they have brought a numer- ous foreign population and as foreigners have to eat and wear clothes it has stim- ulated other lines of business, including the doctors', undertakers' and florists'. We called on Edward Button, on West street, who last year built two houses, each 20x100. They are most substantial- ly built. Carnations mostly occupied the benches till Easter and now they are largely filled with a fine lot of geraniums and a good assortment of other bedding plants. ""Mr. Button is sufficiently en- couraged that he will shortly begin the erection of another 125-foot house and other improvements. A walk through the pretty cemetery soon found us at the houses of James Larder, who, besides his florist business, is the superintendent of the cemetery. He has added several houses since I last visited him. It's strange to see old liizzie McGowan carnation grown, and yet there it was with loads of flowers. Mr, Larder says Lizzie must now go. Genevieve Lord, Flora Hill, The ilar- quis and, of course, the indispensable Lawson were the principal benches. Fre- donia is not only blessed with a mild climate, escaping the late spring as well as early fall frosts, but also with a splendid loam soil on gravelly subsoil and the carnations and even the gerani- ums show the quality of their soil. Jlr. Larder has 10,000 zonale geraniums in 4-inch pots in very fine order and he knows the varieties to grow, which were S. A. Xutt, John Doyle, a splendid bed- ding scarlet, F. Perkins, Gloire de France, Jean Viaud, La Favorite, the double white, and the splendid old Beauty Poitevine. The raising of veg- etable plants is quite an item with all the Fredonia florists and 100,000 tomato plants were being handled at this place. Now if it had not rained I might have had a longer story to tell you. So in conclusion I want to say that I noticed with regret the ravages of the past win- ter. Dozens of fine Irish junipers ruined and the English ivy killed, and these are only trifles of what the losses are in less fcivored localities. Landscape architects sit in their cozy offices and draw pretty pictures and when these plans are exe- cuted they include English ivy and holly and tree bos and other plants and shrubs tliat have as much chance of living with us, through such a winter as the last, as a turned loose canary bird in northern Siberia. Strange to say, the rhododen- dion, a complete failure in Buffalo, grows and flourishes in favored Fredonia, \et they don't seem to know it, for you see but a few of this most gorgeous of all hardy flowering shrubs where it thrives, W, S. PITTSBURG. The Market. This market is receiving great num- bers of all kinds of flowers. Eoses and carnations of very good qi ality are ac- cumulating in large quantities and can be bought at one 's own figure. Lilie-, which have been so plentiful since Easter, are now good sale. Callas are in over- supply. "There are plenty of very fine sweet peas for everyone, Pansies are also very plentiful, Violets are now a thing of the past. The demand for Beauties is limited. Quantities of out- door flowers are arriving. Various Notes. Last Sunday we experienced some very cold weather; the temperature went down to 41 degrees. A light hailstorm passed over this section but did no damage. The Kttsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- ceiving large quantities of new ferns. Good prospects for .June are in sight, many weddings, and quite a number ot goocl-sized orders are placed for ilecora- tions, Randolph & McClements have sev- eral very large wedding decorations fur next mouth, John Baldinger, of T, M, Tlam & Co., is ser\-ing as a juror in the United States court. The sale of bedding stock is very slow, as outdoor planting is still limited, due to the cold and backward spring. Carnations in this section are all in the field, and the long needed rain came last Saturday and Sunday, C, T. Siebert has a fine lot of ger- aniums and miscellaneous bedding stock which he grows exclusively for his retail trade. Miss Carrie .Tordon, saleslady for .John Foss, Pittsburg Market, is seriously il! with typhoid fever. Ernest Zieger. who has been confined to his home, is about again. On Friday, ilay 1.3.

Some flowers are carried home again and others disposed of at absurdly low prices. There is no pros- pect of betterment before Decoration day, when a heavy trade will be done. Best quality Beauty ros?s bring $lo with difficulty; first-class i^toek briugs $10. Carnations are getting smaller, al- though some very fine stock continues tu come in. Few fancies exceed $2, while ordinary grades have go*ie as low as 2o cents per 100. Gladioli are quite plenti- ful and outdoor lily of the valley of fine quality has appeared. Other " outdoor slock includes Iris Germarica, Narcissus pceticus in quantity, late flowering tu- lips and lilac. Sweet peas are lower, best blooms being sold at 50 cents. Quite a number of orchids are seen in the bet- ter class of stores. Cattleya ilossis, C. Jlendelli and C. Skinneri, L^lia purpu- ra ta and Dendrohium thyrsiflorum. Decoration day prospects are one of the prime topics just now. A first-class trade is anticipated. There will be prob- ably more outdoor stock than usuallv available, but a few hot days will change all this. An immense quantity of out- door flowers are usually available, such as lilacs, snowballs, German iris, oriental j)oppics, pyrethnims, Pa'onia oflacinalis. Narcissus poeticus, late tulips, lily of the valley, etc. Some of these are already in bloom, including the first four, and un- less the weather continues fairly cool f'M- the next ten days, they will not be avail- able. An early season is the be=t f(!r sale of greenhouse stock. Various Notes. At present all orchards and gardens are a glorious picture, with their wealth of fruit blossoms. Apples, pears, plums and cherries are sheets of bloom. Peaches are nearly all killed outright, the ex- ceptions being those growincf at high ele- vations. Quite a number of the .lapan- e.se plums are also badly killed back. As trees and shrubs come into leaf the full extent of the damage sustained from the severe winter becomes more apparent.

Viburnum plicatum and V. tomentosum are cut down to the suow line. Halesias and exochordas have suffered similarly. Deutzia crenata for the first time in many years is cut to the ground. Ligus- trum vulgaris is the only privet un- scathed. L. ibota has suft'ered badly in some places. Ij. ovalifolium has proved its worthlessness in this latitude and will be generally discarded. The fine New- port hedges mentioned by Mr. Scott in vour last issue are of California privet and have suffered badly the last two win- ters. The syringa family with the laui- ceras have again ]>roved themselves the most reliable of our shrubs. Climbers have suffered severely. Wis- tarias have all flower buds and many growth buds killed. Honeysuckles are cut to the snow lire. English ivy, even where well protected, is badly killc ', Amjielopsis Veitchii has suffered more than ever before. Euonymus radieans has wintered finely. Clematis paniculata, which usually kills back considerablv, is cut to the ground, but is coming up vig- orously as usual. Aristolochias, bignouias, akeliias and other climbers are ."11 right.

The annual rhododendron show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Socielv scheduled for June 4 and -5, will probablv have to be postponed a week, owing to the lateness of the season. The show of rhododendrons is likely to be a small one, as many plants are killed and practicallv all flower buds, except where heavily pro- tected. Many azaleas are also killed ami flower buds generally destroyed. Classes 97. 98 and 99 in the schedule of the so- ciety were by an error not properly classi- fied. They are for hardy azaleas.

Mail addressed to the American Mush- room Co., St. Louis, has been forwarded to Texarkana, where the postmaster re- turned it to sender marked ' ' Fraudu- lent." The sweet corn and cucumber situa- tion is unchanged. A considerable acre- age of each has been planted, but no sign of sprouting so far. It is likely that when re-seeding time comes a boom wil' be on and what little seed is left will bring high figures. The past week at Chicago has been such as to prolong the seeding for onion sets. It was hoped that the end of last week would see all the seeding done, but on low ground, where it was expectcil that a few warm days would permit seeding, work had to be stopped and it may take a week yet to finish up. Trade generally is quite unsatisfac- tory; nothing has been normal durins; the whole season so far. The growing crops are much retarded by unseasonable weather and at all points, owing to thi-, the usual second and third plantings have not been made. The season is so far advanced now that a clear loss of considerable business may be charged up against the weather. THE KENTUCKY SEED TRADE. The following review of the season is from Wood. Stubbs & Co., Louisville, Ky., dated May 7 : The season's trade on grass and field seeds in this market on the whole has been very large, though prices have been in many instances cut very close and comparative little profits have been made by the regular dealer. Anticipated ad- vances in Orchard, Eed Top, Blue grass and Timothy did not materialize and dealers who purchased stocks of Orchard grass in the fall with anticipation of getting higher prices in the spring were disappointed. This is due in a large measure to a con- siderable quantity of grass seed being left in farmers' hands. Many who were offered as much as $1.45 and $1.50 per bushel in the fall, just after threshing time, stored their seed, paid charges and after- wards in the spring sold their seed for a great deal less money. Blue grass has remained about sta- tionary with little profit to anybody, where straight Kentucky has been sold. Red Top also has remained about sta- tionary throughout the entire season, and cleaners of this seed, owing to the small export demand, found prices did not advance as they anticipated. The fact of the wet spring generally prevailing in all parts of the country no doubt kept down the prices of grass seeds and reduced the quantity which would have been sold, so all the dealers here have had increased volume of busi- ness. This is, however, the natural re- sult, because Louisville is fast becoming one of the most important centers for grass seed trade and can offer to better advantage than nearly any other point on general lines. igllliMililil RALPH M.

Our prices are interesting. WRITE US Mention The Review when you writp. The onion set situation was more or less of a surprise to everybody and few dealers reaped any special profit on ac- count of the market advancing in price. We, ourselves, felt a month before the advance came that there was bound to be a heavy demand and knew there were light stocks. We were somewhat pre- pared for a good advance, but did not anticipate it would be anything like as great as actually occurred. This year the acreage will be slightly enlarged, though the season has not been particularly favorable for getting a good stand, and there has been a good deal of complaint from this cause. We expect, however a good fair crop, and growers will naturally expect better prices in the fall than they have been getting for the last two or three years. Indications for the new crop Kentucky Blue and Orchard grass are not particu- larly favorable, though it is early yet to determine about the latter. The! garden seed trade has been very satisfactory, on the whole, with us. WITH THE CANNERS. The season is still backward in all the canning districts and there is danger that it may have an effect on peas. The crop • is ten days to two weeks behind hand. This means, of course, a shorter period for germination and development before the blistering heat of summer causes the crop to ripen almost at once, hardening the peas in the pods before they can be gotten into the cans. In Indiana the iTop is all in, but the acreage is less than for 1903. In Wisconsin planting is pro- gressing, about ten days late. The acre- age is larger than last year, and in 1903 the yield was light. In New York seed- ing is late, one grower reporting six weeks behind 1903. The output will not be increased. In Delaware pea seed was all in a month or so ago, although at tliat the season was a week or ten days late. The acreage is considerably small- er than in 1903. California will have a good-sized pack this year. The situation as to corn acreage and the; germinating power of the seed isn't to the liking of canners as a rule. Seed corn varies considerably in vitality, and acreage is in many sections harder to con- tract than ever before. Letters received from packers show that on the whole there has been a great deal of poor seed on the market. In New York state es- pecially the canners find it difficult to induce farmers to grow sweet corn. Two successive bad seasons have discouraged the farmers in that section to such an ex- tent that they are very reluctant to plant any more corn for canning pur- Mai 19. 1904.

OwATONNA, Minn.— The Clinton Falls Nursery Co.. of this city, is making plans to largely extend its business. Having purchased the Lord greenliouses for re- moval to their grounds, they will erecv two entirely new houses, each 20x180, material for one of which has been al- ready ordered. A space 100x200 in front of the greenhouses will be a display ground for hardy stock of all kinds. The \V. & T. Smith Co.. Geneva, N. Y.. writes: "We have had an average sea- son for our work, although spring opened later than usual. On account of winter closing in so earlv we did not get the iisnal amount of fall work done, and on that account have been more than u.=uallv rushed. Spring sales have been fully un to the average of the last two years' and the demand for many items has been much in excess of the supply.

H, JOOSTEN , IMPORTER ■• 201 West street .- NEW YORK. ; Thp Rovlpw whfn yin wrifo now SO much the vogue, soon requires attention to prevent starvation and mal- formation of individuals. For a few years these close planta- tions may serve the purpose of a nur- sery, and surplus plants may. if needed, be removed to other locations; but it is only a very short time, comparatively, until the ax must be used, and that freely. If specimen plants are required this thinning must be tindertak-en before there is an actual contact between the plants to give the necessary amount of light and air. While the tools needed will be simply the ax and the grub, yet there are fcv operations which require more careful study and pre-arrangement. In the case of trees so many considerations enter into the problem, that haste is impossi- ble, and one should give ample time to its solution. Those to be destroyed as well as those to be saved should be viewed from many positions and at many times. It takes a lot of nerve to cut away vigorous trees, but it must be done. This lack of nerve is undoubtedly responsible for the many examples of crowded, dis- eased and mis-shapen plantations to be seen in public as well as private grounds. — John F.

Once more the Boston fern has dem- onstrated that it is the most popular plant grown in this country. For sev- eral seasons the cry has gone up that the production of Bostons had been overdone and tliat the market would not consume the vast quantities of plants prepared for it. But each spring has seen stocks cleaned out and the demand still unsatisfied. This is the case again this season, even though last fall saw lar- ger stocks prepared than ever before. All the large growers have done a greater business than ever, and hundreds of smaller producers have contributed their share towards the stock. But now many sizes are in short supply and wherever there are good plants there is a market waiting for them if their ex- istence be but made known. PROVIDENCE, R. L The Rhode Island Horticultural Society lias issued the schedule of premiums for its June and September exhibitions. The .Tune show is for strawberries, but there are classes for hardy flowers and a liberal list for garden roses. For the September show there is a long list of prizes for greenhouse plants, for flowers cut out- doors and also for carnations. There are also a number of classes for dahlias, a number of which are open only to ex- liibitors from other states. This is also the fruit show. PACIFIC COAST. The Logan berry is a native of Cali- fornia, the story of its origin being told on page 13S1. The note on cinerarias and verbenas on page 1422 properly belongs under the head of "Pacific Coast," as it refers to conditions in California. The convention city of 1905 will be Portland. Ore., where the Lewis and Clark Exposition will be in progress. Invitations will be extended to practi- c.dly all the conventions of 1904, to hold tiieir next year's meeting on the Pacific coast. The Retail Florists' Association hav- ing failed in its effort to dispose of the street salesmen, F. P. Shibeley has taken individual action in the form of a peti- tion for a permanent injunction against the Board of Supervisors, who issue the peddlers' permits. DimCULTIES WITH PACKING. Pacitie const nurserymen import vast quantities of hardy evergreen and decid- uous stock from France and other Euro- pean countries and each season finds more and more being planted. A great deal more would be used by our dealers if there was any guarantee that , the stock would reach us in such a condi- tion that there would be any likelihood of its growing. It seems to be impos- sible to impress the fact on French nur- serymen that goods destined for Cali- fornia should have any more packing around the roots than those shipped to New York or somewhere in that vicinity. I have for years made special mention in my letters accompanying orders to Eu- rope about this matter and it is only May 10, 1004.

Mention The Review when yon write. occasionally that the Iwxes are opened here and found in good order. The shortest possible time that we can re- ceive goods by freight is thirty days, and it is considered a choice bit of lucli if they arrive in thirty-five; it is usu- ally about forty, so that dealers can fig- ure on having the goods boxed up in the neighborhood of six weeks. It is necessary for the boxes to be well lined to insure against cold weaUier sure to be encountered en route. It is possible to receive boxes from New York by way of steamer to Galveston, but my expe- rience with stock received that wa}- has been that it invariabl.y gets too close to tlie ship's boilers and I usually use the joung plants for firewood as soon as I have time to unpack them. Our American nurserymen, I must confess, especially those who make a specialty of shipping to Paeifie coast points, can usually be relied upoa to pack properly, but the French, Dutch and Belgian growers have much to learn before they arrive at anywhere near per- fection in packing. As a sample let me cite the case of the last two boxes I rr- cived from one of the largest nurseries risparagus ^•^"^ll Plumosus Nanus. Plants from Flats, $15 per 1000. Express paid.

Among the items I unpacked were 500 Lawson cj'press, nice hardy plants three years old. These were crowded in the bottom of the boxes T>ithout a particle of packing around the roots. On top of them were 500 Cryp- tomeria .Japonica, also without any l>acking around the roots. There were not over lialf a dozen live plants in the lot where there should have been no trouble whatever. In another box 1,000 English hollies were piled in a heap without any moss and the foliage Dad been moistened considerably because it was all rotted off. They should have been tied in bunches of 100 each, the roots well wi'apped with moss and cleat- cd in the boxes, so that there was a cir- culation of air between the bundles, to prevent damping off of the foliage. There is never quite so much trouble to levive stock that gets dry, providing the roots are mossed, as when the conifers, evergreens and young seedlings are piled m heaps in the boxes and from the natural moisture of the leaves get heated en route, so that when unpacked they are usually worthless. The only stock that we receive here from foreign ports that is always prop- erly packed is that from Japan. The Japanese nurserymen are very particular in this regard, as they cleat all the stock in the boxes, pack plenty of moss around the balls of earth or bare roots, :.nd in addition cut square holes in the boxes for ventilation, which are covered jnside -nith fine mesh wire screening ti- prevent the rats from getting in the boxes. G. SAN FRANQSCO. The Market. I am inclined to think we are going to have a superabundance of almost all cla.sses of stock for the next few months, and the retailers will have the privilege of fixing prices to suit themselves. The large increase of the quantity of glass that is now coming into bearing would be enough in itself to make a big dif- ference with the amount marketed, to say nothing of the extra acres that have been plantetl in hardy stocks. I fear that the low prices will affect principally the growers who handle the commoner grades of stock, whether in roses, car- nations or mixed flowers. The public is getting more and more particular all the time and only such growers as make a specialty and can be depended on to ]i-.oduce" a first-class article can hope to get any return for their summer crops. Good roses seem to be as much in de- mand as ever and there is not, although wc are at the height of the season, any surplus of fancy stock. The best Beau- ties are bringing $2 per dozen and they are as eagerly liought up as though we were in the middle of winter. Fancy Brides and Maids are netting the grower .•t!! per dozen and Kaiserin, Testout and Liljerty from 75 cents to $1. But I saw a Japanese grower dump in one of our largest retail stores today fifty doz- en mixed Brides and Maids for $2 and then offer twenty dozen Crocker carna- tions for a dollar. These are very low jirices, but the quality of the stock was only fair and the grower doubtless con- sidered he was very fortunate in being able to sell it at all. The sweet-pea growers have had splendid prices for their stock for the past month, and it is only within the present week that rates have fallen below $1.50 per dozen bunches. It has been a very peculiar season for sweet peas. In ordinary years it was no trick to have sweet peas in market early in !Miarch, but this season ii was only on high or exceptionally well drained land that the peas survived the winter. The Chinese have the bulk of this business. Decoration day will soon be here and there will be an abundance of outdoor stock of all kinds to offer. Some of our retailers have a good ship- ping trade to interior towns and any sort of hardy stock can bo utilized. Various Notes. Serveau Bros, are having a big demand for bedding stock this month. They han- dle a good quantity of general nursery stock. Joseph Furtado, head gardener for the Kealty Syndicate, of Oakland, is out of the hospital, where he was confined for several weeks with a severe case of blood poisoning. Thos. Hooper, for many years fore- man for Sievers & Boland, has taken charge of the greenhouses of the late Geo. Karmann, at Elmhurst. F. M.

One of the brightest and most satis- factory plants that can be used to beau- tify a shady, moist place is the cineraria. With us these plants are perennials and if the situation is suitable for them they will come up from the root indefinitely. As they seed themselves it requires no particular care to have them by thou- sands. It is a surprise to me that some of our growers do not cultivate the cin- eraria for seed. The plants make mag- nificent crowns of the most gorgeous flowers and produce big plump seeds in enormous quantities. We cannot import such large, well filled seed from Europe and it seems to me that there must be a great deal of money that is allowed to go to waste, judging by the high prices asked for this popular flower in other places and with us it is considered little better than a wild flower. The cineraria succeeds splendidly in any shady situation either in complete shade under trees, where there are not too many roots near the surface, or in partial shade of buildings or fences. They seem to like a loose, rich soil and plenty of water; when they are supplied they grow as high as four feet, with hundreds of big, shiny blossoms and are never out of bloom from one season to another. Verbenas are also a perennial article with us and as they stand considerable cold weather there is no particular dan- ger from frosts. They do not, however, do anything more than hold their owii during our severe wet weather and such a season as we have just had on account of the superabundance! of water seems to be more than they can stand. As far as I have seen, we are not troubled witli rust or smut on our plants and here, again, is where the seed grower should turn his attention. Our verbenas flower freely ten months in the vear and a single plant will cover a "quantity of space with a wealth of showy flowers. G. Michigan City, Ind.— L. A.

"Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have ever used. You certainly have placed the right name to your Boilers, no effort at all to keep the temperature at de- sired points when zero weather comes. Night after night the past severe winter weather gave your Boiler a good test. We are more than pleased with the Super- ior Boiler." Yours truly. Treanor & Rettic. Send for Catalogue and Price List.

Mjll 19. 1904. 1 1 ROIND "BlR^HAM" BOILERS 1 1 These useful and economical Boilers are designed for small heating plants. Study the Illustration on this page, and note these Good Points; J. — Cast in one piece above the base, eliminating rust and leakage and making it the easiest to install. 2. — The largest heating surface possible in a boiler of this size. 3. — All surfaces exposed to flame have water on the opposite side, making warp- ing or burning out impos- sible. 4. — A deep fire-pot, giving space above the coals for perfect combustion of gases and floating carbon, and suf- ficient room for fuel to insure the minimum of attention. 1(1 5. -Anti - clinker shaking and dumping grates, easy to remove and replace. 6. — Cleaning doors, afford- ing access to every part liable to become fouled. 7. —Adapted for hard or soft coal, coke or wood. 8. — May be used for hot water or steam. In the lat- ter case an ample steam dome is provided. ^^ Write to Our New York Office and Enclose 10 Cents Postage for Heating and Ventilating Catalogue, and Greenhouse Construction Catalogue, 5 Cents Each.
