COMMERCIAL  ORCHIDS. 

[A  paper  by  J.  A.  Newsham,  New  Orleans, 
read  before  the  Society  of  Southern  Florists,  at 
the  New  Orleans  convention,  February  14  to  16, 
1907.1 

In  presenting  a  paper  on  this  subject 
I  do  so  with  a  full  understanding  that  it 
must  be  done  in  as  few  words  as  is  pos- 
sible. With  a  class  of  plants  so  large 
and  varied  as  the  orchid  family,  compris- 
ing, as  it  does,  many  thousand  varieties, 
some,  both  beautiful  and  curious,  are  not 
available  for  florists'  use.  Many  are  not 
available  because  of  their  scarcity  and 
high  price ;  others,  from  the  fact  of  their 
shyness  to  bloom  under  the  treatment  the 
ordinary  florist  has  time  and  facility  to 
give  them;  so  that  at  the  present  time 
the  number  of  varieties  grown  for  cut 
flowers  is  limited  to  a  few  that  are  easily 
managed  and  not  too  expensive  to  buy 
in  quantity.  But  I  am  sure  the  time  will 
come,  and  before  long,  when  there  will 
be  many  more  varieties  added  to  the 
orchid  family,  or  the  present  list  of 
orchids  for  florists'  use,  especially  when 
their  requirements  become  better  under- 
stood by  the  general  run  of  florists,  with- 
out, necessarily,  being  expert  orchid 
growers. 

When  we  look  back  over  a  few  years  of 
the  cultivation  of  the  rose  and  carnation, 
we  can  count  the  few  men  who,  then, 
really  made  a  success  of  their  cultiva- 
tion, while  today  they  are  being  grown 
in  every  part  of  the  country  by  the  thou- 
sands, by  men  who  have  not  spent  a  life- 
time in  learning  how  to  grow  them  suc- 
cessfully. So  it  will  be  with  the  orchid, 
which  is  a  plant  that  will  stand  rougher 
treatment  than  either  of  them  without 
showing  the  immediate  effect  of  it  or 
ruining  the  season's  crop  of  flowers,  as  is 
often  done  by  a  little  mismanagement  of 
either  the  carnation  or  the  rose.  At  the 
same  time,  when  once  an  orchid  gets  in 
a  bad  condition,  it  is  often  better  to 
throw  it  away  than  try  and  bring  it 
around  again;  and  this  is  one  reason 
why  so  many  have  failed  to  make  orchid 
growing  pay,  one-half  of  the  space  being 
filled  with  plants  which  bring  no  returns, 
and,  in  most  cases,  only  make  a  breeding 
place  for  all  kinds  of  insects  and  fungus 
diseases  to  ruin  the  balance.  Of  course 
there  may  be  exceptions,  in  which  a 
plant  may  be  of  some  special  value,  and 
may  pay  for  time  and  attention  neces- 
sary to  restore  it  to  a  healthy  condition. 

A  Word  to  the  Beginner. 

The  first  question  for  the  beginner  to 
ask  is,  "What  kinds  of  plants  should  I 
start  with?"  My  advice  to  him  is  to 
start  with  what  is  generally  termed  semi- 
established  plants;  that'iS,  plants  which 
have  been  recently  imported  and  have 
already  commenced  to  grow;  and  get 
them  from  a  first-class  house,  that  makes 
a  specialty  of  thte  part  of  the  business. 
By  doing  so,  one  not  only  learns  how 
they  are  potted,  but  will  also  stand  the 


chance  of  securing  special  varieties 
among  them,  as  they  are  not  all  collected 
while  in  bloom,  and  many  of  the  finest 
and  most  valuable  varieties  have  turned 
up  among  imported  plants.  For  this 
reason,  one  may  often  buy  old  estab- 
lished plants  cheaper  than  newly  im- 
ported ones;  but  he  may  be  sure,  all  the 
good  varieties  have  been  picked  out  of 
them.  While  I  have  made  a  list  of  va- 
rieties to  grow  especially  for  cut  flowers, 
I  am  sure  it  will  pay  anyone  who  runs  a 
store  to  grow  a  nice  collection  of  other 
varieties  as  an  advertisement,  using  them 
when  in  bloom  for  the  decoration  of  his 


I  have  seen  them  do  well  under  many 
conditions.  I  prefer  pots  or  hanging 
pans,  mostly  for  their  lasting  quality, 
for,  although  they  will  grow  as  well  in 
wooden  baskets,  there  is  always  the  draw- 
back that  they  commence  to  rot  and  get 
full  of  fungus,  and  it  is  not  an  easy 
matter  to  take  them  out,  as  the  roots 
become  grown  around  them,  and  to  put 
them  in  a  larger  basket  without  taking 
the  old  ones  away  is  sure,  sooner  or  later, 
to  end  badly  on  account  of  the  fungus 
from  the  rotten  wood.  With  pots  there 
is  not  so  much  danger,  as  they  last  much 
longer  and  are  cheaper.  For  potting  ma- 
terial peat  is  good  where  it  can  be  easily 
procured;  if  not,  fern  roots  and  live 
sphagnum  moss  is  all  right.  The  pots 
ought  to  be  more  than  half  full  of 
broken  pots  and  charcoal  and  the  plants 
must  be  firmly  potted  and  staked  until 
they  have  become  established.  This  is  im- 
portant, for  if  they  are  loose  and  shaky 
they  seldom  do  well;  and,  by  all  means, 
use  as  small  pots  as  possible,  especially 
with  newly  imported  plants,  or  any  that 
have  gotten  in  bad  condition  at  the  roots 
from  overwatering  or  any  other  cause. 

Watering. 

Watering  is  one  of  the  most  important 
things     in     orchid    culture.      Too     much

store,  window  or  any  other  purpose,   as 
they  always  command  attention  and  are 
.talked   about   whereve^  rare   flowers  are 
mentioned. 

Potting. 

Orchids  are  grown  in  many  ways;  in 
ordinary  pots  and  pans,  baskets  made 
from  wood,  in  earthenware,  and  the  small 
growing  kinds  do  well  on  blocks  of  wood. 


water  at  certain  seasons  is  the  cause  of 
many  failures,  especially  in  winter,  dur- 
ing their  resting  period.  In  our  climate, 
where  we  do  not  have  to  fire  very  hard, 
little  water  is  necessary;  perhaps  a  little 
twice  a  week  is  suflScient;  just  enough 
to  keep  them  from  shriveling.  I  make  a 
rule  in  the  winter,  when  I  have  any 
doubts  as  to  a  plant 's  wanting  water, 
to  pass  it  by  until  the  next  time;  and  in

the  summer,  under  the  same  conditions, 
I  water  it  then.  I  have  found  it  a  good 
rule,  not  only  with  orchids,  but  also  with 
the  other  plants.  Of  course,  weather  con- 
ditions have  a  great  deal  to  do  with  the 
amount  of  water  needed.  In  the  summer- 
time with  outdoor  plants  and  good  drain- 
age tuere  is  not  much  fear  of  overwater- 
ing,  twice  a  day  not  being  too  much  for 
established  plants  or  plants  in  baskets  or 
blocks.  Of  course  newly  potted  or  im- 
ported plants  would  not  require  it  so 
heavy  until  they  commence  to  grow 
freely. 

Resting;. 

Resting  is  also  important  with  many 
varieties,  especially  cattleyas,  Iselias  and 
dendrobiums,  also  some  varieties  of  the 
oncidium.  When  a  plant  has  about  fin- 
ished its  growth  is  the  time  to  reduce 
the  watering  by  degrees  until  you  give 
just  enough  to  keep  the  bulbs  plump. 
Keep  them  in  that  condition  until  they 
commence  to  show  flower,  when  they 
require  a  little  more  water;  but  never 
get  them  soaked  or  the  buds  are  liable 
to  turn  yellow  and  fall  before  opening. 
Especially  with  a  low  temperature  after 
flowering  they  generally  commence  to 
grow,  and  this  is  a  good  time  to  pot  them 
or  change  them  in  any  way  needed. 

General  Management. 

As  we  cannot  grow  any  of  the  cool 
orchids  in  the  southern  climate,  we  need 


should  be  much  moister  and  needs  less 
ventilation.  This  class,  most  of  them 
not  having  bulbs,  cannot  be  allowed  to 
become  dry  or  they  will  lose  their  foli- 
age, except  dendrobiums,  which  may  be 
wintered  in  the  same  house  as  cattleyas, 
as  they  require  about  the  same  treatment 
while  resting. 

The  American  varieties  do  better  out- 
doors under  slat  shades  from  the  first 
part  of  April  until  they  have  completed 
their  growth,  when  they  must  be  brought 
under  cover,  as  a  wet  season  would 
start  them  into  growth  again.  I  have 
not  .given  the  East  Indian  varieties  a 
thorough  trial  outdoors  during  the  sum- 
mer months;  but  with  most  of  the  vari- 
eties we  can  make  more  growth  in  one 
year  than  they  can  in  the  north  in  two 
without  interfering  with  their  bloom- 
ing. 

List  of  Varieties. 

Cattleya  Trianse,  from  Colombia,  is 
considered  one  of  the  best  varieties  for 
florists'  use,  being  one  of  the  easiest 
to  grow,  varies  in  color  from  pure  white 
to  deep  rose,  and  blooms  here  from  No- 
vember to  April  and  sometimes  twice. 

Cattleya  Mendelli,  from  Colombia, 
about  the  same  color,  somewhat  larger, 
and  blooms  a  little  later  than  C.  Tri- 
anae. 

Cattleya  Mossia?,  Venezuela,  varies 
much  in  size  and  color,  some  varieties 
being  almost   double  the  size   of  others.

only  to  divide  them  into  two  houses,  one 
for  the  East  Indian  varieties  and  the 
other  for  the  American  varieties.  There 
need  be  little  difference  in  the  tempera- 
ture of  the  two,  but  the  one  for  the 
East  Indian  varieties,  such  as  the  cypri- 
pedium,    phalacnopsis     and    dendrobium, 


Blooms  after  C.  Mendelli.     A  good  vari 
ety  of  C.  Mossia)  is  hard  to  beat. 

Cattleya  gigas,  Colombia,  is  the  larg- 
est flowering  variety,  and  in  its  native 
country  is  one  of  the  freest  bloomers, 
having  as  many  as  seven  flowers  on  a 
single   spike;     but   under    cultivation    it 


is  not  often  seen  in  this  condition.  By 
iffrowing  it  in  pans  or  baskets  hung 
r  'Close  to  the  glass  and  given  a  little  more 

heat,  it  will   bloom  quite  freely   during 

July  and  August. 

Cattleya  labiata,  Brazil,  is  the  best 
for  autumn  flowers  and  an  easy  one  to 
manage;  while  not  so  fine  a  variety  as 
some,  it  comes  in  when  flowers  are 
scarce,  and  should  be  grown  on  that  ac- 
count. 

Cattleya  Percivaliana  is  considered  a 
small  variety  of  C.  Mossise,  with  a  shade 
darker  Up,  and  is'  the  latest  of  the  large- 
flowering  cattleyas  to  bloom. 

Cattleya  Skinneri,  Central  America,  is 
the  best  of  the  smaller  flowering  cat- 
tleyas; blooms  in  the  spring,  is  of  a 
deep  rose  color,  and  bears  as  many  as 
eighteen  flowers  on  a  spike. 

Lselia  purpurata,  Brazil,  is  a  fine  va- 
riety, blooming  in  the  summer  months, 
but  is  becoming  scarce. 

Lselia  anceps,  Mexico,  and  its  many 
varieties,  is  easy  to  grow;  blooms  in  the 
fall  with  long  spikes,  which  makes  it 
always  useful  in  any  kind  of  work  or 
decorations;  in  color  from  pure  white 
to  deep  rose. 

Phaleenopsis  amabilis,  Philippine  is- 
lands, is  one  of  the  finest  orchids  to 
grow  in  this  section,  bearing  large 
spikes  of  almost  pure  white  flowers  in 
the  spring  months,  when  they  are  always 
in  demand.  It  is  considered  rather  hard 
to  manage,  and,  as  it  comes  from  a  hot 
climate,  is  grown  too  close  and  confined 
in  the  attempt  to  keep  up  the  tempera- 
ture, especially  in  the  winter  time,  where 
much  fire  heat  is  required.  But  here  we 
have  plants  which  only  receive  fire  heat 
a  few  times  during  the  winter,  the  tem- 
perature often  going  below  45  degrees, 
and  still  these  plants  do  not  seem  to 
suffer  in  the  least.  They  are  grown  in 
an  open  house  all  the  time,  where  every- 
*  thing  is  left  open  night  and  day,  ex- 
cept when  there  is  fear  of  a  frost;  and 
they  have  been  grown  that  way  for 
years. 

Phalaenopsis  Schilleriana,  from  the 
same  country  as  the  last,  is  a  stronger 
grower,  bearing  a  spike  with  as  high  as 
100  flowers  at  one  time;  color,  from  pale 
to  dark  pink. 

Vanda  cserulea,  northern  India,  is  one 
of  the  few  blue  orchids,  varying  from 
light  to  dark  blue.     It  is  always  salable. 

Dendrobium  nobile,  India,  is  one  of 
the  oldest  varieties,  easy  to  grow  and 
flower. 

Dendrobium  Wardianum,  Burmah,  is 
also  an  old  favorite. 

Dendrobium  Phalsenopsis,  New  Guin- 
ea, is  one  of  the  best  for  cut  flowers, 
giving  spikes  sometimes  two  feet  long, 
with  from  twenty  to  twenty-four  flowers 
of  various  shades  of  pink,  and  lasts  a 
long  time  in  bloom. 

Dendrobium  formosum,  Burmah,  is  a 
good  one  to  grow,  bearing  white  flow- 
ers which  are  much  used  for  bridal  bou- 
quets. 

Odontoglossum  citrosmum,  Mexico,  is 
about  the  only  one  of  this  class  we  can 
manage  here;  should  be  given  the  same 
treatment  as  Lselia  anceps,  and  gives 
long  spikes  of  light  pink  flowers. 

Oncidium  crispum,  O.  spendidium  and 
O.  varicosum  are  three  good  varieties 
to  grow,  bearing  long  spikes  of  yellow 
or  spotted  flowers  which  are  fine  in  deco- 
rations. 

There  are,  of  course,  many  others 
which  may  be  grown,  but  I  think  this 
list  will  give  as  good  results  as  a  larger 
one.

THE  GATES  AJAR. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  re- 
produeed  from  a  photograph  of  a  gates 
ajar,  both  glorified  and  simplified  ^by 
J.  W.  Ross,  of  Centralia,  111.  The  piece 
stood  thirty-eight  inches  high  and  was 
twenty-eight  inches  wide.  The  loose 
treatment    adds    immensely    to    the    at- 


tractiveness of  the  design;  indeed,  in  it 
the  solid  design  usually  made  can  hardly 
be  recogaized.  The  flowers  used  were 
Bride  and  Bridesmaid  roses,  callas.  Pa- 
per Whites  and  valley,  the  flowers  from 
some  unsold  Christmas  azaleas  being  em- 
ployed in  the  gates,  for  the  design  was 
made  December  29, 

A    few    makers    of    excellent    funeral 


work  still  employ  the  old,  solid  style  of 
construction,  but  the  newer  idea  is  a 
loose  form.  It  takes  rather  better  flow- 
ers, but  not  so  many  of  them,  and  tho 
effect  -is  of  a  larger  and  much  more  ar- 
tistic piece.  The  solid  design  gives 
the  impression  of  being  a  mechanical 
creation  instead  of  the  work  of  an 
' '  artist. ' '  <^

siui^le    '-|iike:      but     uuiler    cultixatiou     it 


is  not  often  seen  iu  this  contlitiou.  By 
growing  it  in  pans  or  baskets  hung 
close  to  the  glass  and  given  a  little  more 
heat,  it  will  bloom  quite  freely  during 
July  and  August. 

Cattleya  labiata,  Brazil,  is  the  best 
for  autumn  flowers  and  an  easy  one  to 
manage;  while  not  so  fine  a  variety  as 
some,  it  comes  in  when  flowers  are 
scarce,  and  should  be  grown  on  that  ac- 
count. 

Cattleya  Percivaliana  is  considered  a 
small  variety  of  C.  Mossise,  with  a  shade 
darker  lip,  and  is  the  latest  of  the  large- 
flowering  eattleyas  to  bloom. 

Cattleya  Skinneri,  Central  America,  is 
the  best  of  the  smaller  flowering  eat- 
tleyas; blooms  in  the  spring,  is  of  a 
deep  rose  color,  and  bears  as  many  as 
eighteen  flowers  on  a   spike. 

La?lia  purpurata,  Brazil,  is  a  fine  va- 
riety, blooming  in  the  summer  months, 
but  is  becoming  scarce. 

La;lia  anceps,  Mexico,  and  its  many 
varieties,  is  easy  to  grow;  blooms  in  the 
fall  with  long  spikes,  which  makes  it 
always  useful  in  any  kind  of  work  or 
decorations;  iu  color  from  pure  white 
to  deep  rose. 

Phala^nopsis  amabilis,  Philippine  is- 
lands, is  one  of  the  finest  orchids  to 
groW'  in  this  section,  bearing  large 
spikes  of  almost  pure  white  flowers  in 
the  spring  months,  when  they  are  always 
in  demand.  It  is  considered  rather  hard 
to  manage,  and,  as  it  comes  from  a  hot 
climate,  is  grown  too  close  and  confined 
in  the  attempt  to  keep  up  the  tempera- 
ture, especially  in  the  winter  time,  where 
much  fire  heat  is  required.  But  here  we 
have  plants  which  only  receive  fire  heat 
a  few  times  during  the  winter,  the  tem- 
perature often  going  below  45  degrees, 
and  still  these  plants  do  not  seem  to 
suffer  in  the  least.  They  are  grown  in 
an  open  house  all  the  time,  where  every- 
thing is  left  open  night  and  day,  ex- 
cept when  tliere  is  fear  of  a  frost;  and 
they  have  been  grown  that  way  for 
years. 

I'hahrnopsis  Schilleriana,  from  the 
same  country  as  the  last,  is  a  stronger 
grower,  bearing  a  spike  with  as  high  as 
100  flowers  at  one  time;  color,  from  pale 
to  dark  pink. 

Vanda  cterulea,  northern  Imlia,  is  one 
of  the  few  blue  orchids,  varying  from 
light  to  dark  blue.     It  is  always  salable. 

Dendrobium  nobile,  India,  is  one  of 
the  oldest  varieties,  easy  to  grow  and 
flower. 

Dendrobium  AVardianum,  Buriiuih,  is 
also  an  old  favorite. 

Dendrobium  Phatenopsis,  New  Cuin- 
ea,  is  one  of  the  best  for  cut  flowers, 
giving  spikes  sometimes  two  feet  long, 
with  from  twenty  to  twenty-four  flowers 
of  various  shades  of  pink,  and  lasts  a 
long  time  in  bloom. 

Dendrobium  formosum.  Burniah,  is  a 
good  one  to  grow,  bearing  white  flow- 
ers wliich  .are  much  used  for  bridal  bou- 
qiu'ts. 

Odontoglossum  litrosmuni.  Mexico,  is 
about  the  only  one  of  this  class  we  can 
manage  here;  should  be.gi\cn  the  same 
treatment  as  hadia  .am'ejis,  and  gives 
long  spikes   of   light   pink    llowers. 

Oncidium  crispum,  O.  siiemlidium  and 
O.  varicosum  are  three  yood  varieties 
to  grow,  bearing  long  spikes  of  yellow 
or  spotted  flowers  which  are  fine  in  deco- 
rations. 

There  .-ire.  ol'  (;ourse,  many  others 
vvliiidi  may  be  ;^rown.  but  1  tliink  this 
list  will  '^^ive  ;i-  Liood  results  as  a  larger 
•  one.

DONLAN  ON  EXHIBITIONS. 

In  an  address  before  tlie  Tarrytown 
Horti(?iiltural  Society,  Tarrytown,  N.  Y., 
f'ebruary  26,  J.  1.  Donlan  spoke  in  part 
as  follows: 

To  our  mind  the  vast  majority  of 
public^  flower  shows  display  mostly,  and 
merely,  the  egot^m  or  conceit  of  the 
flower  grower.  To  be  suie,  the  very 
highest  cultural  art  is  shown  at  these 
exhibitions,  but  that  is  all ;  and,  as  a 
climax  io  this  self-satisfactory  suffi- 
ciency, no  attempt  whatever  is  made  to 
satisfy  the  hungry  ambitions  of  the  great 
multitude.  The  grower  naturally  stands 
exhultingly,.  admiring  his  symmetrically 
arranged  rows  of  vases  of  flowers  or 
mounds  of  plants  over  which  he  has 
labored  day  and  night  all  the  year  to 
have  them  reach  their  perfection;  but 
his  extreme  monotony  in  arranging  these 
pets  compels  the  average  visitor  to  sniff 
with  a  casual  glance,  pass  along  to  see 
all  that  is  of  interest  to  them  in  a  few 
moments  and  go  out  to  spread  the  news 
that,  "It  is  just  the  same  or  not  even 
as  good  as  last  year."  There  is  some- 
thing radically  wrong  in  all  this  and  we 
are  glad  of  this  opportunity  of  submit- 
ting it  to  the  attention  of  schedule  com- 
pilers  and  the  society  in  general. 

Every  plant  or  flower  has  attractive 
beauty  about  it.  The  aim  of  every 
grower  or  dealer  in  them  should  be  to 
show  that  attractiveness  to  best  advan- 
tage, and  in  doing  so  he  accomplishes  an 
inestimable  benefit,  for  he  not  only  edu- 
cates, but  creates  a  desire.  If  the  grow- 
ers must  have  their  crudely  formal  dis- 
plays, in  order  to  satisfy  a  mistaken 
idea  of  the  best  methods  of  showing  su- 


periority of  culture,  then  a  day  should 
be  set  apart  where  the  whole,  or  as  much 
as  possible,  of  the  exhibits  should  be  re- 
arranged, in  competition,  from  a  utility 
or  artistic  standpoint.  We  contend  that 
inasmuch  as  the  majority  of  stock  is 
grown  and  exhibited  with  a  view  to  its 
adaptability  to  certain  decorative  pur- 
poses, that  that  adaptability  should  be 
exemplified  or  portrayed.

Petunias. 

If  you  are  propagating  petunias  from 
cuttings  be  careful  not  to  leave  them  in 
the  sand  too  long  or  until  they  become 
hard.  Place  in  2Vi-inch  pots  in  light, 
rather  sandy  compost  and  give  them  a 
.light  bench.  In  the  case  of  seedlings,  a 
portion  may  be  put  in  pots  for  special 
orders,  but  they  do  equally  as  well  in 
tints  and  grow  like  weeds  when  trans- 
planted from  them.  It  saves  a  great 
amount  of  labor  and  watering  to  use  the 
flats.  They  may  also  be  pricked  out  in 
frames  with  a  gentle  bottom  heat  after 
the  middle  of  April.  Many  other  plants 
may  be  treated  in  the  same  way,  in- 
cluding asters,  stocks,  verbenas.  Phlox 
Drummondi,  salvias  and  many  others. 
The  flats  have  the  advantage  of  being 
more  readily  handled,  more  especially 
if  plants  are  needed  for  store  trade. 

Cannas. 

While  there  is  still  good  time  in  which 
to  start  the  roots  of  cannas,  if  you  want 
good,  stocky  stuff  they  can  be  taken 
from  under  the  benches,  or  wherever  they 
have  been  stored,  and  brought  into  heat. 
Some  growers  lay  the  whole  clumps  on 
the  benches  and  divide  them  after  they 
start  to  grow.  A  much  better  plan  is 
to    divide   them,   leaving  one   sound   eye 


and  a  few  roots  for  each  plant.  These 
can  be  potted  at  once  into  4-inch  pots 
and  if  treated  carefully  only  a  small 
proportion  will  fail  to  start.  They  must 
be  kept  somewhat  on  the  dry  side  at  the 
start  or  many  will  rot. 

A  better  plan  is  to  lay  the  individual 
pieces  on  a  bench,  closely  together,  where 
there  is  some  bottom  heat  and  where  a 
top  heat  of  60  degrees  at  night  is  main- 
tained. Cover  the  bench  with  moss  and 
scatter  a  little  leaf-mold  or  moss  over 
the  roots.  Keep  them  syringed  twice  a 
day,  but  do  not  soak  them  with  the  hose. 
In  about  three  weeks  growth  and  roots 
will  be  startiag  freely  and  they  can  be 
potted  up.  Treated  in  this  way  excel- 
lent stock  can  be  had  with  less  trouble 
and  expense  than  by  any  other  method 
we  have  tried. 

Giladium  Esculentum. 

Roots  of  that  popular  subtropical 
plant,  Caladium  esculentum,  can  be 
started  any  time  during  the  month  of 
March.  The  largest  roots  are  not  the 
most  desirable.  A  brisk,  moist  heat  is 
needed  to  make  them  break  well.  Set 
them  on  a  bench  in  the  same  way  as 
cannas,  but  if  possible  give  them  more 
bottom  heat.  Pack  closely  between  the 
roots  with  moss,  leaf-mold  or  sand.  They 


will  be  ready  for  potting  in  about  half 
the  time  cannas  are  if  kept  rather  more 
moist  at  the  root.  If  space  on  benches 
is  valuable,  you  can  delay  starting  them 
until  after  Easter  this  year  and  still  get 
first-class  plants. 

Genistas. 

Plants  of  genista  intended  for  Easter 
which  have  been  kept  well  clipped  and 
bushy  should  show  color  by  the  middle 
of  the  month,  in  which  case  they  will  be 
along  in  good  season.  While  these  plants 
are  quite  attractive  and  sell  well,  they 
do  not  keep  so  well  in  the  dwelling  house 
as  azaleas  and  some  other  plants.  They 
should  never  be  grown  warm,  for  if 
forced  the  flowers  will  simply  not  keep 
at  all. 

If  a  supply  of  cuttings  has  not  been 
put  in  of  these,  a  batch  should  now  be 
placed  in  the  sand.  Do  not  place  them 
in  a  warm  house.  A  bench  which  suits 
carnation  cuttings  will  root  them  well. 
If  potted  and  grown  along  they  will 
make  nice  4-inch  plants  for  next  fall. 
Genistas  need  frequent  pinching  to  keep 
them  bushy.  In  the  case  of  larger 
plants  the  simplest  method  is  to  clip 
them  with  a  pair  of  shears  several  times 
during  the  summer  months.  Do  not  at- 
tempt to  plant  them  outdoors  in  sum- 
mer. They  are  hard  things  to  lift  and 
will  lose  about  all  their  foliage,  even  if 
carefully  treated. 

Azaleas. 

If  the  buds  of  azaleas  are  beginning 
to  show  color  now  they  will  come  along 
in  time  for  Easter  in  a  cool  house.  Later 
plants  should  be  kept  in  a  warm,  moist 
house  and  freely  syringed  until  they 
show  color,  after  which  they  are  to  be 
kept  dry  overhead  and  rather  cooler. 

If  you  have  any  plants  unsold  from 
the  earlier  batches,  pick  off  the  seeds 
and  give  them  a  warm  house  to  make 
some  growth  in.  They  can  be  planted 
outdoors  in  a  sunny  spot,  where  you  can 
reach  them  with  the  hose,  and  they  will 
make  fine  stock  for  potting  up  in  the 
fall.  V 

Ferns. 

The  majority  of  florists  grow,  or  ought 
to  grow,  some  ferns.  A  large  variety  is 
neither   necessary  nor  desirable,  for  the

U6S 


call  is  only  for  a  few  sorts.  Of  these 
Adiantum  cuneatum  holds  first  place  and 
is  indispensable  where  bouquet  or  fu- 
neral work  is  made.  If  it  is  possible 
that  some  of  your  ferns  have  not  been 
overhauled  for  a  long  time,  before 
the  spring  rush  starts  in  is  a  good  time 
in  which  to  pot  them.  If  large,  chop  the 
clumps  through  with  a  sharp  spade.  Dis- 
etitangle  the  roots  and  repot  in  sizes 
sufficient  to  allow  an  inch  of  compost 
around  the  clump.  In  the  case  of  plants 
in  small  pots,  all  they  will  need  is  to 
have  the  crocks  removed  from  the  roots 
and  any  loose  soil  shaken  out  before 
being  repotted. 

A  suitable  soil  for  ferns  consists  of 
equal  portions  of  leaf -mold  and  loam, 
with  sand  added.  For  vigorous  growing 
sorts  more  loam  and  less  of  the  leaf  com- 
post can  be  used.  Do  not  use  s£ny  ani- 
mal manure  or  chemical  fertilizer  of  any 
sort.  Plants,  however,  with  the  pots 
well  filled  with  roots  enjoy  an  occasional 
watering  with  liquid  manure.  Ferns  of 
all  sorts  need  a  shady  house  and  a  moist 
atmosphere.  In  summer  they  grow 
splendidly  in  coldframes  under  sashes 
shaded  with  kerosene  and  white  lead. 
Snails  are  sometimes  troublesome  among 
adiantums.  A  dusting  of  air-slaked  lime 
on  the  bench  will  clear  out  most  of  them. 
A  little  should  also  be  dusted  among  the 
crowns.  If  the  pots  can  be  moved  from 
the  bench  and  boiling  water  poured  over 
it  many  will  be  killed. 

A  few  desirable  ferns  to  grow  in  ad- 
dition to  Adiantum  cuneatum  are  A.  gra- 
cillimum,  A.  Charlottse,  Pteris  cretica 
Majdi,  Pteris  serrulata  cristata,  Cyrto- 
mium  faleatum,  Cibotium  Schiedei,  the 
finest  tree  fern  for  house  culture;  Pteris 
adiantoides,  Pteris  "Wimsetti,  Aspidium 
tsussimense,  Davallia  stricta  and  the 
various  nephrolepis,  such  as  Bostonien- 
sis,  Whitmani,  Scottii  and  Elegantissima. 

Care  of  Seedlings. 

Many  of  the  earUer  sown  batches  of 
annuals  will  now  be  ready  to  pinch  off. 
This  work  should  not  be  delayed  a  day 
longer  than  absolutely  necessary.  We 
are  mostly  prone  to  sow  our  seeds  too 
thickly  and  a  few  days'  crowding  will 
ruin  many  of  the  little  seedlings.  Shade 
with  cheese-cloth  or  newspapers  for  a 
few  days  after  the  pricking  off.  Do  not 
overwater  them  and,  on  the  other  hand, 
be  careful  they  are  not  allowed  to  get 
dusty  dry.  Use  a  watering  pot  in  lieu 
of  a  hose  for  watering  purposes.  Keep 
all  flats  of  seedlings  which  are  not 
pricked  out  well  up  to  the  light  to  keep 
them  stocky. 

Brief  Reminders* 

Buds  of  Easter  lilies  -should  now  be 
starting  to  droop.  Those  which  still 
point  upwards  need  a  little  hurrying. 
Now  is  the  time  to  get  in  the  extra  forc- 
ing needed,  not  the  week  before  Easter. 

Sow  seeds  of  Canterbury  bells,  wall- 
flowers, Campanula  persicifolia  and  C. 
pyramidalis,  and  any  of  the  perennial 
delphiniums  if  you  want  strong  plants 
by  fall. 

Marguerites  should  not  be  subjected  to 
any  forcing.  The  flowers  of  these  re- 
main fresh  on  the  plant  a  long  time  if 
they  are  not  allowed  to  become  dry. 
Flowers  should  now  be  opening. 

If  you  see  color  in  the  buds  of  Bam- 
bler  roses  by  March  15  you  should  have 
them  in  season  for  Easter. 


Charles  Knopf. 


Elkhart,  Ind. — The  greenhouses  of 
Mrs.  E.  M.  Bullock  were  entirely  de- 
stroyed by  fire  at  5  a.  m.  February  28. 


THE  GLASS  MARKET. 

The  jobbers  of  greenhouse  sizes  of 
window  glass  who  are  advertising  in  the 
Review  find  the  demand  considerably 
ahead  of  last  year.  Ever  since  the  be- 
ginning of  the  season  the  number  of  in- 
quiries has  been  greater  than  usual. 
There  are  not  so  many  large  orders  be- 
ing placed,  but  a  much  greater  number 
of  smaller  orders.  All  through  the  coun- 
try growers  are  adding  one  or  two  houses. 

The  price  of  glass  has  been  stiffening 
steadily  since  the  strength  of  the  de- 
mand became  apparent.  The  window 
glass  industry  seems  in  a  strong  position 
this  spring  and  manufacturers  are  re- 
luctant to  cut  greenhouse  sizes.  It  ap- 
pears certain  that  when  the  end  of  the 
season's  fire  comes,  in  June,  there  will 
be  no  great  stock  of  greenhouse  sizes  on 
hand  to  meet  the  demand,  which  will 
continue  steady,  probably  clear  through 
September.  The  result  will  be  that 
prices  during  the  summer  are  likely  to 
see  a  still  further  advance. 


CHARLES  KNOPF. 

Charles  Knopf,  of  Richmond,  Ind.,  has 
loved  flowers  ever  since  he  was  old 
enough  to  admire  their  beauty,  and  was 
always  near  them  whenever  he  had  the 
opportunity.  He  flrst  started  in  the 
florists'  work  in  Richmond  about  fifteen 
years  ago,  at  the  Cascade  Greenhouses, 
and  from  therjB  he  went  to  the  E.  G. 
Hill  place.  It' was  here  that  he  acquired 
a  general  knowledge  of  the  business  and 
the  raising  of  new  carnations.  He  re- 
mained there  about  two  and  one-half 
years,  and  then  went  back  to  the  Cas- 
cade Greenhouses.  While  there  he  dis- 
covered the  value  in  the  carnation  Dor- 
othy, but  it  was  not  a  seedling  of  his 
own  raising.  Shortly  after  being  at  this 
place  the  second  time  he  saw  a  good  op- 
portunity to  establish  a  wholesale  busi- 


nes  at  the  E.  T.  Grave  place  in  Rich- 
mond, which  at  that  time  was  only  two 
small  houses,  more  for  the  pleasure  of 
Mrs.  Grave  than  for  profit.  Mr.  Knopf 
went  to  work  for  Mrs.  Grave  as  grower 
and  manager.  He  then  bought  the  va- 
riety Dorothy,  in  a  short  time  proved 
its  worth  and  worked  up*  stock  and  in- 
troduced it  to  the  trade.  It  proved  to 
be  a  valuable  variety  for  the  trade,  as 
it  is  still  quite  extensively  grown  in  cer- 
tain localities.  He  remained  with  this 
firm  five  years  and  then  established  the 
firm  of  the  B.  K.  &  B.  Floral  Co.,  of 
which  he  is  manager. 

Mr.  Knopf  has  raised  many  seedlings 
and  has  a  number  now  on  the  place. 
Sarah  A.  Hill,  white,  is  his  best  sort  and 
shortly  to  be  introduced  to  the  trade.  It 
is  named  for  the  sister  of  E.  G.  Hill,  who 
is  associated  with  the  Hill  company,  and 
who  is  a^  well  informed  in  trade  matters 
as  any  other  member  of  the  firm.  She 
has  charge  of  the  office  work,  and  is  usu- 
ally the  first  to  greet  the  visitor.  If  the 
carnation  achieves  a  place  as  high  in  the 
estimation  of  the  craft  as  has  the  lady 
whose  name  it  bears,  Mr.  Knopf  can  ask 
nothing  more. 


HORTICULTURAL  EXHIBITION. 

The  bureau  of  publicity  of  the  Mann- 
heim exposition  of  1907  sends  out  the 
following: 

A  great  horticultural  exposition,  in 
combination  with  an  international  expo- 
sition of  art,  will  be  opened  May  1  at 
Mannheim,  on  the  Rhine,  Germany.  It 
may  be  of  greatest  interest  that  a  num- 
ber of  most  exquisite  artists  participate 
in  this  arrangement  by  creating  special 
gardens,  each  one  promising  to  be  re- 
markable because  of  its  originality. 
Probably  modern  horticultural  art  will 
obtain  numerous  new  incitations  and 
great  impulse  from  this  exhibition. 

The  exposition  at  Mannheim  is  especi*

ally  a  national  undertaking,  yet  Ameri- 
can gardeners  will  haw  opportunity  to 
exhibit  in  several  departments.  Inter- 
national are  the  exhibits  of  orchids, 
cacti,  modern  horticulture  and  the  exhib- 
its of  fruits  and  greens.  England, 
Prance  and  even  the  primitive  forests  of 
South  America  will  contribute  to  the  ex- 
hibits of  orchids.  Besides  cultivated 
plants  from  England  and  France  there 
will  be  exhibited,  as  curiosities,  the 
strange  forms  of  wild  orchids,  gathered 
with  difficulty  in  Mexico,  l^r^ail  and  on 
the  banks  of  the  Orinoco  river. 

The  cactus  exhibit  will  contain  a  great 
number  of  interesting  and  peculiar 
plants,  representing  a  rich  collection 
from  all  tropical  countries.  There  will 
be,  for  instance,  gigantic  cacti  from 
Mexico  and  South  America. 


The  exhibition  of  horticultural  novel- 
ties, by  cultivators  from  Germany  and 
foreign  countries,  surely  will  be  of  great- 
est attraction.  The  progress  of  Ameri- 
can horticulture  in  fruits  and  plants,  as 
well  as  in  greens,  will  be  shown  here. 

Eight  special  exhibits  will  give  oppor- 
tunity to  all  countries  of  the  world  to 
show  by  their  products  their  degrees  of 
advancement  in  fruit  cultivation.  Amer- 
ica, a  country  which  sends  every  year 
many  thousands  of  quintals  of  fruit  to 
Germany,  will  take  justifiable  interest  in 
exhibiting  its  products  at  Mannheim  and 
in  demonstrating  the  different  methods 
of  preparing  them  for  a  long  voyage. 
People  will  be  interested  in  the  differ- 
ent methods  of  preserving  fruits  and 
greens  and  the  various  forms  of  cool- 
ing apparatus. 


CARNATION  NOTES —VEST. 


Shif  ting  Young  Stock. 

If  you  propagated  a  lot  of  carnation 
cuttings  early  and  have  had  them  potted 
six  weeks  or  so  you  will  have  to  give 
them  a  shift  within  the  next  few  weeks. 
The  first  two  weeks  in  March  is  the  best 
time  for  this,  as  a  rule,  because  it  gives 
the  plants  plenty  of  time  to  become  re- 
established and  to  make  a  good  growth 
before  time  for  planting  out. 

Don't  think  that  because  the  young 
plants  may  look  young  and  tender  and 
not  excessively  pot-bound  that  they  will 
stand  all  right  in  the  small  pots.  Young 
carnation  plants  want  to  be  kept  con- 
tinually on  the  move.  By  that  I  do  not 
mean  that  they  should  be  induced  to 
make  a  large,  rank  growth,  but  it  should 
be  slow  and  steady'  and  should  not  be 
checked  by  being  pot-bound,  which  means 
not  only  starved,  but  later  on  it  means 
frequent  drying  out  at  the  roots  during 
warm  spring  days.  The  latter  is  as  in- 
jurious as  the  first  named,  if  not  worse. 

We  like  to  plant  from  pots  and  prefer 
shifting  the  young  plants  from  2-inch 
into  3-inch  pots  and  planting  from  these 
into  the  field.  There  are  several  reasons 
for  this.  When  planting  from  pots  you 
have  a  good  ball  of  earth  and  you  have 
every  root  that  belongs  to  the  plant  in- 
tact. Taking  the  plant  from  the  green- 
house out  into  the  open  field,  subjecting 
it  to  the  strong  sunshine  and  the  drying 
spring  winds,  is  trying  enough  for  the 
young  plants,  without  having  many  of  the 
roots  torn  or  cut  and,  in  many  cases, 
most  of  the  soil  shaken  from  them.  If 
there  is  no  rainfall  for  a  few  days  the 
suffering  is  not  so  intense  when  a  good 
ball  of  earth  is  kept  intact,  nor  will  it 
begin  so  early  as  it  will  when  the  soil- 
is  shaken  from  the  roots.  You  will  find, 
too,  that  this  ball  of  earth  will  hold  to- 
gether in  the  fall  when  you  dig  the 
plants  for  housing  and  it  is  a  great  help 
at  that  time.  I  have  also  found  that 
the  roots  on  such  plants  will  be  more 
bunchy  and  you  can  get  more  of  them 
with  the  plants,  when  digging  them. 

Another  way,  which  is  practiced  by 
many  large  growers  and  which  is  a  modi- 


fication of  the  above,  is  to  pot  the  cut- 
tings into  2-inch  pots  and  about  this  time 
plant  them  in  three  inches  of  soil  on  the 
bench,  setting  about  three  inches  apart 
each  way.  This  method  will  produce 
fine,  strong  ^oung  plants  and  the  3-inch 
pots  are  dispensed  with.  The  ball  from 
the  2-inch  pot  will  hold  together  when 
taken  up- to  be  planted  in  the  field,  but, 
of  course,  many  roots  are  broken  and 
the  transfer  is  accompanied  with  more 
suffering  than  when  planting  is  done 
from  pots.  The  growth  is  more  apt  to 
be  rank  and  soft  under  this  method,  too, 
which  is  not  desirable.  There  will  not 
be  so  much  drying  of  the  soil  as  in  the 
pots,  which  is  a  good  feature  and  insures 
a  steady  growth.  Either  of  these  meth- 
ods is  commendable,  though  we  prefer 
the  pot  method.  We  do  not  approve  of 
planting  the  rooted  cuttings  right  on  the 
bench.  The  roots  run  out  too  long  and 
are  mangled  too  much  when  taking  up 
the  plants. 


Cuttings  taken  from  the  sand  after 
this  date  can  be  potted  right  into  2%.- 
inch  pots  and  left  in  those  pots  until 
time  for  planting  out.  When  these  are 
set  on  a  bench  near  the  ventilators,  or 
where!  a  draught  will  strike  them,  the 
pots  should  be  plunged  abafGlNiialf-way 
in  sand.  This  will  retard  drying  out  and 
will  be  a  great  help  next  month. 

Keep  the  young  plants  sprayed  with 
the  tobacco  extracts,  to  prevent  aphis  or 
thrips  from  getting  a  foothold  on  them, 
the  same  as  you  do  the  blooming  plants. 
Dusting  them  with  tobacco  dust  will  be 
found  a  great  help,  too,  though  we  pre- 
fer the  spraying  as  being  more  effective 
and  cleaner.  Syringe  them  hard,  at 
least  once  each  week,  to  keep  off  red 
spider  and  to  keep  off  rust,  dust  them 
with  air-slaked  lime.  Be  sure  they  have 
an  abundance  of  sunlight  and  ventilation 
to   promote   sturdiness.

SOIL  FOR  CARNATIONS. 

I  shall  grow  carnations  in  benches  next 
year  for  the  first  time,  having  grown 
them  under  glass,  but  in  the  ground.  I 
want  to  get  the  right  kind  of  soil,  but  I 
cannot  get  rotted  sod  or  cow  manure 
here.  I  can  get  a  rich,  black,  sandy 
loam,  almost  silt.  What  shall  I  put  with 
that?     Leaf -mold  is  obtainable. 

A.  L.H. 


There  is  no  use  describing  what  we 
consider  the  ideal  carnation  soil  in  this 
locality,  since  you  say  you  cannot  secure 
the  two  principal  parts  that  we  use. 
Rotted  sod  and  cow  manure  will,  without 
any  doubt,  make  the  best  soil  for  carna- 
tions; but  we  have  known  fine  carnations 
to  be  grown  where  one  pr  both  of  these 
were  lacking.  Carnations  do  not  like  a 
rough  soil  like  roses  do,  but,  rather,  a 
porous,  well-pulverized  soil  bordering  on 
a  sandy  loam,  though  not  too  light. 
When  cow  manure  is  added  in  liberal 
quantities  to  enrich  it,  you  have  a  first- 
class  soil.  In  your  case  with  such  a  light 
soil  as  you  have,  if  your  soil  is  rich,  you 
will  likely  get  a  heavy,  rank  growth  and, 
unless  you  can  make  it  heavier  with  clay 
or  cow  manure,  you  will  not  get  the  qual-

ity  in  the  blooms  you  ought  to  get.    The 
fitems,  too,  will  lack  in  s&ength. 

If  your  carnations  in  the  natural 
ground  gave  fairly  good  results,  then  I 
would  use  the  same  soil  on  the  benches. 
If  you  use  stable  manure  rake  out  as 
much  of  the  straw  as  you  can.  Sheep 
manure  would  be  better ;  use  a  big  wheel- 
barrowful  of  sheep  manure  to  a  yard  of 
soil.  Turn  this  over  several  times,  a  cou- 
ple of  weeks  apart,  so  it  will  be  well 
mixed.  After  filling  in  the  bencnes,  rake 
in  a  liberal  supply  of  bone  meal,  before 
setting  in  your  plants.  After  that  de- 
pend on  sheep  manure  for  mulching  and 
bone  meal  and  wood  ashes  to  stiffen  the 
stems  and  heighten  the  quality  of  the 
blooms.  You  must  watch  your  plants 
and  give  them  what  they  seem  to  need 
from  time  to  time.  One  cannot  give  ex- 
plicit directions  without  knowing  more 
about  local  conditions,  etc.,  than  I  do 
about  yours.  A.  F.  J.  B. 

HELLENTHAUS  CARNATIONS. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  pre- 
pared from  a  photograph  made  in  one 
of  the  new  houses  of  J.  R.  Hellenthal, 
at  Columbus.  There  are  four  varieties 
of  carnations  in  the  house.  Enchantress, 
Lawson,  Lady  Bountiful  and  Ethel  Ward. 
The  plants  of  Enchantress,  according  to 
Charles  M.  Jones,  who  is  grower  in 
charge,  are  a  long  way  ahead  of  any- 
thing else  on  the  place.

DELPHINIUMS. 


The  larkspurs  are  useful  annual  and 
perennial  plants.  The  boldness  of  the 
plant  and  the  beauty  of  the  flowers  will 
always  attract  attention.  They  are  ef- 
fective when  planted  in  beds  or.  massed 
in  front  of  shrubs.  In  color  the  flowers 
range  from  palest  to  deepest  blue,  and 
include  pink,  red  and  white,  but  rarely 
yellow. 

The  culture  of  larkspur  is  simple,  ob- 
serves the  National  Council  of  Horticul- 
ture. They  will  thrive  in  almost  any 
good  garden  soil  and  in  almost  any  sit- 
uation. The  perennial  kinds  should  be 
propagated  from  seed  sown  early  in  the 
fall.  In  the  spring  young  seedlings, 
which  have  been  kept  during  the  win- 
ter in  a  coldframe  in  2-inch  or  3-inch 
pots,  should  be  available  and  should  be 
set  out  two  or  three  feet  apart  in  rich, 
sandy  loam,  in  a  sunny  exposure.  Peren- 
nial larkspurs  may  also  be  propagated  by 
taking  up  an  old  plant  and  dividing  its 
roots.  In  fact,  a  bed  will  remain  in  con- 
dition longer  if  the  plants  are  dug  up 
and  replanted  every  three  or  four  years. 
The  roots  or  young  seedlings  may  be  ob- 


Carnation  House  of  John  R.  Hellenthal,  Columbus,  Ohio. 


tained  from  most  wholesale  dealers  in 
hardy  plants.  Grandiflorum,  hybridum, 
and  f  ormosum  are  the  best  varieties. 

Seed  of  the  annual  varieties  may  be 
sown  in  beds  or  borders  in  spring  or  fall, 
preferably  the  latter,  so  germination  may 
take  place  in  early  spring.  As  the  seed- 
lings grow  they  should  stand  twelve  to 
eighteen  inches  apart.  Seed  sown  in 
April  will  give  good  results.  When  the 
plants  are  established  they  should  be 
transplanted  to  light,  rich  soil,  where 
they  will  grow  rapidly.  The  so-called  an- 
nuals are  really  hardy  biennials,  but  be- 
cause they  bloom  the  first  season  they 
are  treated  as  annuals.  Two  successive 
flower  crops  may  be  had  the  same  season 
from  the  same  plants  if  the  faded  flower 
stems  of  the  first  crop  are  removed. 
Among  the  better  varieties  are  Ajacis, 
which  grows  from  fifteen  to  eighteen 
inches  high,  and  has  graceful  spreading 
branches,  and  grandiflorum. 


THE  ILLINOIS  APPROPRIATION. 

An  amendment  to  the  bill  providing 
the  annual  appropriations  for  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois  has  been  introduced 
at  Springfield  by  C.  J.  Lindley  and  is 
now  in  the  hands  of  the  sub-committee 
on  university,  of  the  house  appropria- 
tions committee,  of  which  Frank  J. 
Heinl,  of  Jacksonville,  is  chairman. 
These  gentlemen  are  looking  after  the 
florists'  interests,  but  when  the  amend- 
ment is  reported  out  with  the  bill  men- 
tioned, it  must  have  as  broad  support 
as  the  trade  can  get  for  it.  The  follow- 
ing is  the  text  of  the  amendment: 

That  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Agricultural 
Experiment  Station  to  discorer  and  demonstrate 
the  best  methods  of  producing  plants,  cut  flow- 
ers and  vegetables  under  glass,  and  the  most 
effective  remedies  for  disease  and  Insect  enemies 
of  the  same,  to  Investigate  and  demonstrate  the 
best  varieties  and  methods  of  producing  orna- 
mental trees,  shrubs  and  plants  suitable  for  pub- 
lic and  private  grounds  In  the  various  soils  and 
climatic  conditions  of  the  state,  and  to  dissemi- 
nate information  concerning  the  same;  and 
that,  to  carry  out  the  provisions  of  this  section, 
there  be,  and  hereby  Is.  appropriated  the  sum 
of  ten  thousand  dollars  ($10,000.00)  for  the  year 
1907  and  five  thousand  dollars  ($5,000.00)  for 
the  year  1908;  provided,  that  the  work  under- 
taken and  outlined  in  this  section  shall  be  car- 
ried out  In  lines  to  be  agreed  upon  by  the  direc- 
tor of  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  and 
an  advisory  committee  of  five,  to  be  appointed 
by  the  Illinois  State  Florists'  Association. 

This  asking  is  supported   by  the  Illi- 


nois State  Florists'  Association,  Chicago 
Florists'  Club,  Horticultural  Society  of 
Chicago  and  all  the  leading  growers  of 
greenhouse  products.  Each  florist  should 
see  personally  or  write  his  representative 
at  Springfield  to  support  the  appropria- 
tion asked  for. 


USING  HAND  PUMP. 

Can  water  be  forced  with  a  hand  pump 
a  distance  of  350  feet,  which  includes 
an  elevation  of  seventy-five  feet  above 
the  water  in  the  well  ?  J.  K.  H. 


Your  question  is  not  quite  clear,  but  if 
the  well  is  not  over  thirty  feet  deep  the 
^vater  can  be  raised  by  suction  to  that 
height  and  then  forced  any  distance  into 
the  tank.  If  the  well  is  over  thirty  feet 
deep  it  will  be  necessary  to  place  the 
working  cylinder  of  the  pump  within 
thirty  feet  of  the  water-level  in  order  to 
make  it  work.  Water  can  be  taken  from 
a  well  300  or  400  feet  deep,  but  the 
Avorking  cylinder  is  usually  placed  well 
down,  even  below  the  water-level,  so  that 
there  can  never  be  more  than  thirty  feet 
suction.  Above  the  working  cylinder  it 
is  simply  a  matter  of  lifting  a  column 
of  water  to  the  height  desired,  which 
simply  requires  power.  While  the  work 
in  question  can  be  done  by  hand  power, 
it  will  be  hard,  and  an  engine  or  wind- 
mill should  be  carefully  considered  if 
there  is  much  pumping  to  be  done.

had  been  inspected  little  time  remained

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


Mabch  7,  1907. 


VEILAND  &  OLINGER  PLANT. 

The  establishment  of  Weiland  &  Oliu- 
ger,  at  New  Castle,  Ind.,  consists  of  six- 
teen houses.  Ten  of  them  are  devoted  to 
tea  roses,  three  to  American  Beauty  and 
three  to  carnations.  The  accompanying 
illustrations  are  from  photographs  made 
November  20.  Enchantress  is  shown  in 
one  of  the  interior  views,  Beauty  in  the 
other.  Peter  Weiland  gives  his  personal 
attention  to  the  Beauties  and  had  a  fine 
crop  on  for  Christmas.  He  is  one  of  a 
well-known   family   of   florists,   being  a 


son  of  M.  Weiland,  of  Evanston,  III.,  a 
nephew  of  Peter  Keinberg  and  related  to 
the  Wietor  brothers,  Adam  Zender,  John 
Muno  and  others  in  the  trade.  Mr.  Olin- 
ger  is  his  partner 's  brother-in-law.  They 
have,  in  addition  to  the  range  of  glass, 
a  big  field  of  peonies  of  the  best  varie- 
ties, planted  for  cut  flowers.  Last  season 
the  weather  was  so  unfavorable  just  at 
the  blooming  period  that  it  ruined  most 
of  the  crop,  but  the  field  has  now  been 
planted  long  enough  for  the  stock  to  be 
well  established  and  better  luck  is  hoped 
for  this  year. 


GREENFLY  AND  RED  SPIDER. 

As  spring  advances  we  may  look  for 
a  rapid  increase  of  greenfly  and  red  spi- 
der and  special  efforts  should  be  made 
to  exterminate  them  before  they  become 
too  numerous. 

It  is  almost  impossible  to  fumigate 
with  tobacco  as  frequently  as  is  neces- 
sary to  keep  greenfly  in  check,  without 
at  the  same  time  causing  injury  to  the 
flower  and  foliage  to  some  extent. 

The  petals  of  the  pink  varieties  are 
so  easily  bleached  that  heavy  fumigation 
frequently  makes  them  unsalable  and, 
although  the  injury  to  the  foliage  is  not 
so  apparent,  it  is  there  nevertheless,  and 
a  careful  microscopic  examination  will 
show  the  injury  done. 

This  method  of  keeping  greenfly  in 
subjection  is  yet  the  most  commonly  used 
but  it  is  far  from  being  perfect;  nor 
have  we  as  yet  found  a  substitute  that 
can  be  used  with  the  same  freedom  and 
safety. 

That  cyanide  of  potassium  is  more  ef- 
fective and  less  injurious  to  bloom  and 
foliage  there  is  no  doubt,  but  many 
growers  show  a  decided  inclination  to 
avoid  the  attending  dangers  consequent 
on  the  use  of  this  deadly  gas.  Where 
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  be  out  of  the  way  and  cause 
no  untidiness.  By  renewing  these  peri- 
odically greenfly  can  make  no  headway 
and  there  is  not  the  least  danger  to  even 
the  most  delicate  leaved  plants,  such  as 
ferns,  spiraeas  or  cinerarias. 

If  spider  is  present  in  the  house  keep 
the  syringe  going  on  every  favorable  oc- 
casion and,  particularly,  keep  an  eye  on 
the  young  plants,  as  this  is  oro  of  the 
most  insidious  and  injurious  pests  they 
have  to  contend  with  in  their  present 
stage.  BiBES. 


SOUTHERN  ROSES  UNDER  GLASS. 

[A  paper  by  R.  Lockerbie,  New  Orleans,  read 
before  the  Society  of  Southern  Florists,  at  the 
New  Orleans  Convention,  February  14  to  16. 
1907,  continued  from  the  Issue  of  February  28.] 

Plantins. 

The  operation  of  planting  is  simple, 
but  must  be  well  done.  Insert  the  plant 
well  beneath  the  surface  of  the  soil  and 
press  it  down  firmly  with  both  hands. 
The  soil  around  the  plant  must  then  be 
firmed,  leaving  a  cup-like  depression  at 
the  base.  Eoses  naturally  love  a  firm 
footing,  but  where  the  soil  is  of  a  heavy, 
clay  texture,  less  firming  is  necessary 
than  where  it  is  of  a  loose,  sandy  nature. 
In  the  latter  case  you  can  hardly  make 
the  soil  too  firm,  so  you  must  let  the 
nature  of  the  soil  guide  your  judgment 
in  the  matter.  Be  careful  in  all  this 
firming  process  not  to  mash  the  ball  of 
the  young  plant.  I  have  found  no  imple- 
ment so  handy  for  this  "purpose  as  a  pint 
beer  bottle  filled  with  sand  and  corked. 
Like  a  certain  brand  of  soap,  this  "just 
fits  the  hand,"  and  beats  the  bare  fist 
or  a  brick  all  hollow.  Where  three  men 
work  together,  one  inserting  the  plants 
and  the  other  two  using  the  bottles,  a 
great  many  can  be  speedily  planted. 


Watering  at  Plantiiig.    ■ 

After  planting  a  few  rows  fill  the  de-' 
pressions  full  of  water,  so  that  the  bench 
will  be  thoroughly  saturated  to  the  bot- 
tom, and  spray  the  plants.  By  delaying 
this  waterm^,  until  a  whole  bench  is 
planted  you  m^y  find  a  great  many  of 
the  plants  have  evaporated  their  mois- 
ture and  lost  the  tips  of  their  young 
shoots.  Every  bright  day  the  plants  will 
require  copious  doses  of  water,  in  the 
depressions  only,  and  also  a  good  syring- 
ing. Do  this  in  the  morning  and  repeat 
the  syringing  after  dinner  all  during  the 
hot  summer  months.  The  walks  and  un- 
derneath the  benches  should  also  be  well  - 
wet  down  a  few  times  each  day  to  neu- 
tralize, as  far  as  possible,  the  enervating 
effects  of  the  summer  heat. 

There  is  a  wide  margin  between  the 
terms,  too  wet  and  too  dry,  but  this 
cannot  be  measured  out  in  talk,  and  each 
grower  must  study  this  out  for  himself. 
It  is  difficult  to  give  too  much  water  ' 
during  the  summer  months,  if  the  roseS 
are  in  a  good  growing  condition  and  the 
drainage  has  been  properly  provided  for. 
It  is  also  well  to  remember  that  a  rose 
plant  during  summer  will  quickly  go  tO' 
pieces  if  kept  too  dry,  and  is  much 
harder  to  restore  than  one  that  has  been 
kept  a  little  too  wet. 

The  grass  and  weeds  will  quickly 
spring  into  being,  but  there  need  be  na 
haste  to  remove  them.  For  the  first 
three  weeks  they  serve  two  important 
purposes,  which  more  than  compensate 
for  the  little  nourishment  they  take  from 
the  soil.  First,  they  take  up  any  surplus 
moisture  the  bench  may  receive,  thus 
keeping  the  soil  sweet,  and  second,  they 
act  as  a  shield  against  the  sun's  rays,, 
keeping  the  soil  cool  and  giving  the 
young  plants  a  good  chance  to  start  into 
active  growth.  After  this  they  must  be 
religiously  kept  down. 

Supporting. 

Staking  and  tying  up  are  next  in  or- 
der. The  sooner  tea  roses  are  tied  up,, 
the  better  and  stronger  will  the  breaks 
be.  Beauties,  on  the  other  hand,  ought 
to  be  left  to  wander  at  their  own  sweet 
will  until  the  breaks  have  started  fronk 
the  bottom.  It  seems  the  gentle  over- 
hang is  just  enough  to  induce  the  eyes  at 
the  base  to  start  into  active  growth. 
Use  wire  stakes  three  and  one-half  to 
four  feet  long  for  tea  roses  and  six  feet 
long  for  Beauties,  and  tie  each  stake  t» 
an  overhead  wire  running  the  whole 
length  of  the  bed,  over  each  row  of 
plants.     Keep  the  plants  always  neatly

tied  up,  but  not  too  tightly.  Remember 
that  the  air  must  circulate  freely 
through,  as  well  as  around,  the  plants. 

In  about  six  weeks  from  planting  each 
young  plant  should  have  filled  the  cup 
around  its  base  with  roots,  and  the  whole 
bed  can  -then  be  leveled  off  and  firmed 
evenly  all  over.  A  dusting  of  air-slaked 
lime  may  then  be  applied  and  the  sur- 
face loosened  up  with  a  hand  cultivator. 
Repeat  this  cultivation  every  week  if 
uecessary  until  the  roots  reach  the  sur- 
face, when  all  cultivation  must  cease. 
The  firming  of  the  soil  is  necessary  to 
produce  fine,  large  foliage,  the  proper 
accompaniment  to  a  first-class  bloom. 

The  Trying  Months. 

The  months  of  July  and  August  are 
very  trying  ones  on  the  young  plants. 
Then  we  have  almost  daily  many  hard 
thunder  showers  which,  followed  by  the 
bright  sun,  produce  a  warm,  moist  at- 
mosphere, causing  a  soft,  rank  growth, 
which  is  liable  to  breed  trouble  later.  I 
would  recommend  a  light  mulch  of  any 
old,  wornout  manure  at  this  time  by  way 
of  protection  against  the  sun's  rays  and 
after  each  shower  syringe  the  plants  and 
wet  down  the  walks.  This  mulch  will 
preclude  the  necessity  of  cultivating  the 
benches  so  often.  Renew  it  when  it  gets 
worn  out. 

During  the  summer  months  top  and 
side  ventilators  and  all  doors  should  be 
wide  open  day  and  night,  except  during 
heavy  rain  storms,  when  they  should  l^ 
closed  just  enough  to  turn  the  rain. 

About  October  1  in  this  latitude  is 
soon  enough  to  close  the  side  ventilators 
at  night,  but  the  ones  at  the  ridge  should 
always  be  more  or  less  open,  according 
to  the  state  of  the  weather. 

Particular  care  should  also  be  taken 
with  the  watering.  The  plants  will  need 
less  water,  and  should  only  be  syringed 
in  the  morning,  so  that  the  foliage  will 
be  thoroughly  dry  before  night. 

October  is  generally  very  fickle  and  is 
liable  to  usher  in  a  few  very  cool  nights 
without  much  warning,  which,  unless  your 
heating  apparatus  is  ready  for  action, 
will  either  check  the  growth  of  the  plants 
or  start  a  healthy  dose  of  mildew.  A 
check  in  the  growth  at  this  time  is  a 
serious  matter  and  something  that  is  to 
be  avoided  at  all  risks.  The  transition 
from  summer  to  winter  conditions  should 
come  gradually  and  every  effort  be  made 


to  keep  the  plants  healthy  and  growing. 
"When  the  thermometer  outdoors  falls 
below  60  degrees  at  night,  a  little  fire 
heat  is  beneficial.  Start  your  fires  and 
open  the  ventilators  a  few  inches.  This 
insures  a  good  circulation  of  air,  and 
tends  to  give  the  roses  that  strong, 
leathery  foliage  so  much  desired.  In- 
deed, there  are  few  nights  when  it  is 
needful  to  have  the  ventilators  tightly 
closed,  and  make  it  a  rule  never  to  have 
them  closed  at  night  unless  you  are  fir- 
ing. The  fuel  is  not  wasted,  even  if  you 
have  to  open  the  ventilators  to  keep  the 
temperature  down. 

Temperature. 

The  best  night  temperature  for  tea 
roses  of  the  Bride  and  Bridesmaid  class 
is  56  degrees,  but,  unfortunately,  we 
don't  often  get  it  cool  enough  to  reach 
that  mark.  Kaiserin  and  Perle  like  it  a 
little  warmer,  and  60  degrees  at  night 
suits  them  well.  The  Kaiserin  is  a  fine 
rose  for  the  south,  and  is  just  as  free 
during  the  shorter  winter  months  as  The 
Bride,  and  in  the  fall  and  late  spring  is 
far  superior  to  that  popular  variety. 
Beauties  require  a  night  temperature  of 


60  degrees  and  Meteor  requires  68  to 
70  degrees.  Since  the  advent  of  Rich- 
mond the  Meteor  has  been  relegated  to 
the  background,  but,  nevertheless,  it  is  a 
fine  rose  for  the  south. 

The  day  temperature  on  dull  days 
should  run  2  degrees  to  5  degrees  higher 
than  the  night  temperature  and  on  bright 
days  the  thermometer  may  go  10  degrees 
to  20  degrees  higher  and  even  more,  but 
with  plenty  of  ventilation  on  the  houses. 

The  whole  subject  of  ventilating  is  a 
particular  science  in  itself.  Outdoor  con- 
ditions must  be  closely  observed  and  as 
the  temperature  begins  to  rise  you  must 
raise  the  ventilators  a  little  at  a  time 
and  keep  them  going  up  with  the  mer- 
cury. As  the  temperature  begins  to  fall, 
so  must  the  ventilators  gradually  come 
down.  The  man  who  can  do  this  thor- 
oughly under  all  conditions  has  mastered 
one  of  the  most  important  factors  in 
rose  growing. 

Syringing. 

Other  important  points  are  the  water- 
ing and  syringing,  two  entirely  distinct 
operations.  Every  morning  the  beds 
ought  to  be  closely  examined  and  any 
dry  spots  watered  before  they  get  a 
general  watering.  Conditions  are  re- 
versed from  summer  and  the  beds  are 
easily  overwatered.  Light,  sandy  soils 
will  use  quite  a  lot  of  water,  while  heavy 
clay  soils  are  long  in  drying  out  and 
consequently  will  use  less  water.  Care 
and  judgment  must  be  observed. 

Every  bright  day  the  plants  must  be 
syringed;  otherwise  red  spiders  will  get 
in  their  fine  work.  A  fine  spray  of  water 
must  be  so  directed  as  to  hit  the  under 
side  of  the  foliage,  where  the  spiders 
congregate.  These  little  pests  are  faith- 
ful to  their  destiny,  "be  ye  fruitful  and  t. 
multiply,"  and  their  instinct  leads  them 
to  seek  the  under  side  of  the  foliage  as 
the  safest  spot.  To  syringe  properly, 
the  lower  half  of  the  nozzle  should  be 
closed  with  the  forefinger,  which  gives 
the  stream  of  water  a  natural  upward 
direction  and  makes  it  easier  to  reach 
the  under  side  of  the  leaves. 

I  again  emphasize  the  necessity  of  this 
operation  as  early  as  possible  in  the 
morning,  so  that  the  foliage  may  be  dry 
before  sundown.  If  the  foliage  is  not 
thoroughly  dry  by  night  it  will  soon  de-

velop  a  red  rust  that  is  baneful  in  effect 
and  detracts  from  the  market  value  of 
the  blooms. 

It  sometimes  happens  that  immedi- 
ately after  syringing  the  weather  be- 
comes cloudy,  in  which  case  I  would  ad- 
vise putting  a  little  artificial  heat  in  the 
houses  and  opening  the  ventilators  a  little 
wider. 

You  will  find  the  red  spider  most  trou- 
blesome on  Beauties  and  roses  with 
hybrid  blood  in  them.  Possibly  the 
heavier  foliage  of  these  varieties  offers  a 
better  protection  from  the  force  of  wa- 
ter. Some  growers,  in  regions  where 
syringing  is  often  impossible  for  days 
at  a  time,  use  a  weak  solution  of  Paris 
green  to  keep  the  spider  in  check;  but 
I  have  had  little  experience  with  it,  so 
am  not  competent  to  advise.  Where 
there  is  plenty  of  force  of  water  and 
enough  bright  days  to  allow  of  syringing 
twice  or  three  times  a  week,  there  will  be 
little  trouble  with  the  pest.

SEEN  IN  NEBRASKA. 

The  accompanying  illustration,  repro- 
duced from  a  photograph  made  at  the 
home  of  J.  F.  Eosenfield,  at  West  Point, 
Neb.,  is  interesting  for  several  reasons, 
not  the  least  of  which  is  the  fact  that 
it  controverts  the  general  eastern  idea  of 
conditions  in  Nebraska.  Those  who. 
think  of  the  state  as  regards  horticul- 
ture, usually  apply  to  it  only  the  terms 
properly  pertaining  to  the  western  and 
the  northwestern  counties,  where  the  ele- 
vation is  as  much  as  5,000  feet  above 
the  sea,  where  the  land  is  principally 
sand  hills,  which  give  way  to  the  buttes 
and  bad  lands  of  the  extreme  western 
part,  and  where  the  wind  is  never  weary. 

West  Point,  the  home  of  J.  F.  Eosen- 
field, is  in  Cuming  county,  in  the  eastern 
section  of  the   state.      This  is  a  section 


THE  EXPERIMENT  STATION. 

[A  paper  by  Professor  A.  C.  Beal,  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois,  read  before  the  Illinois  State 
Florists'  Association,  at  the  annual  convention, 
ut   Bloomlngtou,    February  19,   1907.] 

President  Eudd,  in  his  address  to  the 
S.  A.  F.  in  1899,  said:  "We  are  not  as 
a  class  receiving  from  the  experiment 
stations — institutions  established  and  con- 
ducted with  public  funds  and  for  the 
public  good — the  benefits  to  which  we  are 
entitled.  For  this  state  of  affairs  no 
one  is  to  blame  but  ourselves.  We  have 
neglected  to  make  our  wants  known  in 
an  intelligent  manner,  and  have  not  ac- 
cepted gracefully  what  little  work  has 
been  done  in  our  behalf.  * ' 

President  Kasting,  last  year  at  Day- 
ton, called  attention  to  the  work  of  the 
experiment  stations  and  advanced  the 
opinion  that  florists  should  use  their  best 
endeavors  to  see  that  the  stations  are  pro- 
vided with  suflScient  funds  for  carrying 
on  their  work. 

Since  there  has  been  a  movement  in 
Illinois  during  the  last  two  years  look- 
ing toward  closer  relations  between  the 
florists  and  the  State  Experiment  Sta- 
tion, I  thought  it  might  be  well  at  this 


Hedge  of  Viburnum  at  J.  F.  Rosenfield's,  West  Point,  Neb. 


adapted  to  apple  growing  and  native 
plums  and  cherries  are  recommended  by 
the  state  horticultural  society.  Grapes 
do  well  here.  The  picture  shows  that 
there  is  nothing  of  the  arid  character  in 
this  section  of  the  state. 

In   the    foreground'  of   the   picture    a 
peony  plantation  is  shown.     Mr.  Eosen- 


time  to  call  attention  to  the  object  of 
experiment  stations,  what  has  been  ac- 
complished and  what  in  floriculture  needs 
to  be  done. 

Work  of  the  Experiment  Stations. 

The   work  of   the   experiment   stations 
is  thus  outlined  in  the  Hatch  act,  which 


provided  an  appropriation  of  $15,000  an- 
nually for  establishing  and  maintaining 
a  station  in  each  state :  "It  shall  be  the 
object  and  duty  of  said  experiment  sta- 
tions to  conduct  original  researches  or 
verify  experiments  on  the  physiology  of 
plants  and  animals,  the  diseases  to  which 
they  are  severally  subject,  with  the 
remedies  for  the  same ;  the  chemical  com- 
position of  useful  plants  at  their  differ- 
ent stages  of  growth;  the  comparative 
advantages  of  rotative  cropping  as  pur- 
sued under  varying  series  of  crops;  the 
capacity  of  new  plants  or  trees  for  ac- 
climation; the  analysis  of  soils  and 
water;  the  chemical  composition  of  ma- 
nures, natural  and  artificial,  with  experi- 
ments designed  to  test  their  comparative 
effects  on  crops  of  different  kinds;  the 
adaptation  and  value  of  grasses  and  for- 
age plants;  the  composition  and  digesti- 
bility of  the  different  kinds  of  food  for 
domestic  animals;  the  scientific  and  eco- 
nomic questions  involved  in  the  produc- 
tion of  butter  and  cheese ;  and  such  other 
researches  or  experiments  bearing  direct- 
ly on  the  agricultural  industry  of  the 
United  States  as  may  in  each  case  be 
deemed  advisable,  having  due  regard  to 
the  varying  conditions  and  needs  of  the 
respective  states  and  territories." 

According  to  the  last  available  report, 
there  are  sixty  experiment  stations  in  the 
United  States,  of  which  fifty-three  re- 
ceive support  from  the  federal  govern- 
ment. Although  there  are  710  persons 
engaged  in  the  work  of  these  stations, 
floriculture  is  not  recognized,  and  but 
one  person,  George  Coote,  in  the  Oregon 
Experiment  Station,  is  specifically  charged 
with  experimental  work  along  this  line. 

During  the  twenty  years  that  the 
United  States  experiment  stations  have 
been  established  in  the  various  states, 
there  have  been  issued  not  less  than 
5,000  bulletins,  of  which  sixty  are  on 
floriculture  and  allied  greenhouse  sub- 
jects. Of  these,  eight  were  on  outdoor 
flowers,  five  on  florists'  flowers,  twenty- 
four  on  vegetables  under  glass,  five  on 
diseases  and  seven  on  insects  affecting 
greenhouse  plants,  three  on  greenhouse 
management,  two  on  construction,  three 
on  electro-horticulture  and  one  on  forcing 
fruit.  Of  the  sixty  bulletins  issued  one 
was  from  Illinois,  the  leading  state  in 
floriculture. 

A  Broad  Field. 

One  of  the  reasons  why  more  work 
has  not  been  done  for  the  benefit  of  the 
florist  is  that  in  many  of  the  stations 
one  man  stands  for  the  whole  subject  of 
horticulture,  and  not  only  would  this 
seem  a  broad  enough  field  for  any  man 
to  cover,  but,  in  addition,  the  position 
is  often  linked  with  either  botany,  for- 
(!stry,  entomology  or  agriculture. 

If  horticulture  includes  orchids,  onions, 
oranges,  apples,  bananas,  greenhouses, 
canning  factories,  cold  storage,  cover 
crops,  spraying,  plant  breeding,  white 
fly  and  landscape  gardening,  can  one  man 
do  justice  to  them  all? 

In  the  beginning  of  this  station  work, 
the  farmers  themselves  were  indifferent 
and  often  prejudiced  against  it,  so  that 
the  work  had  to  be  made  intensely  prac- 
tical, and  therefore  it  was  confined  to 
the  food  products.  The  result  has  been 
that  the  orchard  products  were  empha- 
sized and  the  training  of  the  students 
in  the  colleges  with  which  these  stations 
were  connected  was  principally  along  this 
line.  Since  the  horticulturists  have  been 
trained  in  pomology  and  their  inclinations 
were  in  this  direction,  and,  recognizing 
that  no  man  can  obtain  recognition  in  the

scientific  field  unless  he  is  a  specialist,  it 
is  not  strange  that  this  line  of  work  has 
received  the  most  attention  and  support. 
Illinois  has  taken  the  lead  in  recogniz- 
ing the  need  of  specialization  in  horti- 
culture. In  the  university  one  man  is 
charged  with  the  development  of  the 
work  along  each  of  the  following  lines: 
Pomology,  vegetable  gardening,  landscape 
gardening  and  floriculture.  This  institu- 
tion is  therefore  better  able  to  carry  on 
investigations  in  horticulture. 

Stations  Poorly  Equipped. 

The  chief  reason  why  more  work  is 
not  done  for  the  florists  is  that  stations 
have  not  been  properly  equipped  for  car- 
rying on  work  in  floriculture.  The  Hatch 
act  assumed  that  the  states  would  pro- 
vide suitable  buildings  for  the  station 
work.  Many  states  were  slow  to  do  this. 
Illinois  did  not  support  its  station  until 
1901.  At  the  present  time  the  station  re- 
ceives from  the  state  $95,000  annually, 
divided  as  follows:  Animal  husbandry, 
$25,000;  soil  investigations,  $25,000; 
com  investigations,  $15,000;  dairy  inves- 
tigations, $15,000;  orchard  investiga- 
tions, $15,000.  In  addition  to  the  above, 
the  college  receives  $50,000  annually  for 
equipment. 

During  the  last  two  years  the  follow- 
ing problems  have  come  to  us  for  solu- 
tion: A  prominent  grower  of  cucum- 
bers under  glass  appealed  to  the  station 
for  aid  to  solve  a  trouble  which  was 
destroying  his  plants  and  threatening  to 
wipe  out  a  special  trade  which  he  had 
developed  in  cities  all  over  the  north- 
west. In  response  to  repeated  appeals,  I 
was  directed  to  visit  him  and  investigate. 
I  found  his  plants  dying  from  a  bac- 
terial trouble,  the  organism  multiplying 
in  such  numbers  in  the  water  channels  of 
the  stem  as  to  cut  off  the  water  supply. 


so  that  the  plants  wilted  and  died.  Hav- 
ing determined  the  cause  of  the  trouble, 
we  were  unable  to  go  further  and  assist 
him  in  what  he,  above  all  else,  wanted 
to  know — that  is,  how  to  get  rid  of  the 
trouble.  We  should  have  been  in  posi- 
tion to  have  planned  and  carried  out 
some  experiments  in  those  infected 
houses.  I  tried  to  reserve  one  of  our 
own  small  houses  for  some  work  on  this 
trouble,  but  had  to  yield  it  to  a  gradu- 
ate student  for  a  piece  of  work  for  a 
thesis.  The  houses  we  have  were  built 
for  instructional  purposes.  We  must  have 
separate  equipment,  especially  designed 
for  experimental  work. 

Last  fall  some  infected  leaves  of  a 
chrysanthemum  were  received.  After  a 
careful  examination  no  disease  was 
found.  Whether  we  failed  to  get  the 
fruiting  stages  of  the  fungus  in  the 
leaves  sent,  or  that  the  trouble  was  physi- 
ological, due  to  something  out  of  bal- 
ance in  the  growing  plant,  or  that  it 
was  caused  from  something  sprayed  on 
the  plant,  we  were  unable  to  determine. 
A  visit  to  the  greenhouses  would  have 
furnished  the  clew. 

At  the  present  time  in  the  city  of 
Springfield  is  a  trouble  affecting  roses, 
which  at  first  sight  a  grower  would  say 
was  due  to  overwatering,  but  the  trouble 
is  not  a  new  one;  three  expert  growers 
have  come  and  gone  in  the  establishment, 
but  all  failed  to  solve  it.  The  amount  of 
water  has  been  varied.  It  affects  both 
grafted  and  own  root  plants  and  also 
benches  with  and  without  bottom  heat. 
The  owner,  seemingly,  has  tried  every- 
thing, yet  there  is  an  annual  loss  of 
$5,000  on  account  of  not  being  able  to 
solve  it. 

An  insect  especially  destructive  on  Me- 
teor rose  was  the  subject  of  an  investi- 
gation   by    an    entomologist    who    pub- 


lished an  excellent  scientific  account  of 
the  life  history,  but  did  not  tell  the 
growers  how  to  combat  it.  Here  was  an 
excellent  opportunity  for  practical  in- 
vestigations of  benefit  to  the  rose  grow- 
ing industry. 

President  Vaughn,  at  Washington, 
spoke  of  the  need  of  investigations  with 
fertilizers  and  cut  flowers.  In  addition, 
some  investigations  on  soils  for  green- 
house crops  need  to  be  undertaken. 

Efforts  for  an  Appropriation. 

Two  years  ago  the  florists  of  the  state 
went  to  Springfield  and  asked  for  $30,000 
to  build  greenhouses  at  the  Experiment 
Station  and  to  carry  on  investigations 
in  floriculture.  The  men  who  went  made 
a  good  impression  and  some  persons  in  a 
position  to  know  thought  we  would  get 
something.  The  bill  looked  as  though 
it  would  go  through  until  the  last  ten 
days  of  the  session.  The  house  appro- 
priations committee  recommended  the 
bill  out,  carrying  $15,000,  and  next  day 
reconsidered  and  killed  it  on  the  score 
of  economy.  Every  one  in  this  associa- 
tion should  recognize  the  fact  that  few 
people  have  any  conception  of  the  amount 
invested  in  floriculture  and  that  we  had 
to  carry  on  an  educational  campaign. 
Much  has  been  accomplished  in  this  line 
and  this  association  can  do  a  great  work 
in  bringing  to  the  people  a  realization  of 
the  extent  of  floriculture. 

As  most  of  us  were  inexperienced  in 
getting  legislation,  we  made  some  mis- 
takes last  time,  but  these  have  been  over- 
come in  our  present  endeavor  to  accom- 
plish the  securing  of  an  appropriation. 
The  assurances  are  promising  that  we 
shall  succeed.  Our  state  is  in  good  finan- 
cial condition  and  we  must  get  our  appro- 
priation this  year  if  at  all.  If  a  period 
of  depression  should  come,  we  could  not

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


March  7,  1907. 


It  is  in  the  best  section  of  upper  Broad- 
way and  should  prove  a  profitable  ven- 
ture. 

J.  B.  Kidd,  lately  with  the  Hinode 
Co.  and  with  William  Elliott  &  Sons, 
has  been  appointed  customs  inspector 
for  the  port  of  New  York  in  the  seed, 
bulb  and  plant  department.  There  were 
a  great  many  applicants  for  the  position 
and  Mr.  Kidd  is  to  be  congratulated. 
He  is  competent  and  practical. 

Wilson's  plant  oil  is  as  popular  with 
the  nurserymen  as  the  florists.  Andrew 
Wilson,  of  Summit,  is  a  young  man,  but 
the  inventive  bee  is  in  his  bonnet.  His 
brother  has  patented  his  cement  bench 
and  Eobt.  G.  Wilson,  of  Brooklyn,  has  in- 
vented a  style  of  white  bark  decoration 
that  has  made  his  store  the  finest  in  the 
city  of  churches.  The  Wilsons  are  cer- 
tainly an  inventive  family. 

H.  H.  Berger  &  Co.  will  move  from  47 
Barclay  street  to  70  Warren  street 
May  1. 

William  Elliott  announces  the  first 
auction  of  the  year  Qn  March  12. 

The  H.  A.  Stoothoflf  Co.  is  having  a 
wide  call  for  its  Aphicide  nicotine  paper, 
one  of  the  most  effective  of  fumigators. 

The  cut  flower  exchange  and  market  on 
the  top  floor  of  the  Coogan  building  is 
to  return  to  first  principles  and  open  at  5 
o'clock  in  the  morning.  There  is  no 
limit  to  the  strenuous  life  of  the  horti- 
culturist and  soon  there  will  be  no  limit 
to  the  hours.  One  would  suppose  6  a.  m. 
early  enough  for  the  opening  services. 
Before  long  there  will  be  all-night  flo- 
rists, just  as  there  are  all-night  banks. 
The  market  claims  it  had  to  change  the 
hour  of  opening  to  meet  the  example  of 
some  of  the  adjoining  wholesalers,  who 
have  for  some  time  been  on  deck  as  early 
as  5  a.  m. 

Bonnot  Bros,  are  handling  and  ship- 
ping fine  Enchantress  and  roses  at  their 
stand  in  the  Coogan  building.  Frank 
Millang  has  completely  recovered  from 
his  broken  ankle  accident  and  will  be  in 
line  with  the  Long  Island  and  Jersey 
growers  at  the  early  hour. 

John  Seligman  &  Co.  lately  have  added 
some  growers  of  fine  roses  to  their  staff 
and  are  preparing  for  a  large  Easter 
call  from  out-of-town  buyers,  as  well  as 
their  rapidly  growing  local  trade. 

Perkins  &  Schumann  find  their  quar- 
ters cramped  for  the  increasing  clientele 
since  moving  to  the  ground  floor  of  the 
Coogan  building.  Before  another  year 
they  expect  to  double  the  size  of  their 
present  quarters. 

The  Geller  Florists'  Supply  Co.  is  dis- 
tributing a  neat  protection  for  telephone 
mouthpieces  that  involves  utility,  con- 
venience and  good  advertising.  Twenty- 
eighth  street  continues  to  be  the  Mecca 
of  the  wholesalers.  There  will  be  fur- 
ther removals  from  adjoining  streets  to 
this  center  this  spring.  Centralization 
is  the  watchword.  On  Twenty-ninth 
street  estates  are  changing  hands  and 
rents  are  rising.  It  looks  as  if  both 
sides  of  Sixth  avenue  would  ultimately 
harbor  about  an  equal  number  of  the 
trade  with  Twenty-eighth  street.  It 
would  seem  an  excellent  plan  if  Presi- 
dent Totty's  prophecy  should  be  ful- 
fllled  that  the  New  York  club  locate  its 
home  on  this  famous  street. 

George  J.  Allen,  eldest  son  of  J.  K. 
Allen,  celebrated  the  christening  of  the 
veteran's  first  grandchild  with  a  reunion 
at  his  home  on  Sunday  evening. 

Siebrecht  &  Son  have  a  new  yellow  rose 
that  is  very  popular  and  which  the  firm 
expects  to  exhibit  at  the  rose  convention 
in  Washington.  J.  Austin  Shaw. 


hope  to  get  an  appropriation  for  floricul- 
ture. If  we  fail  this  year  we  may  wait 
ten  years  to  get  anything.  Once  the  in- 
dustry is  recognized  we  can  demonstrate 
the  need  of  experimental  work  and  con- 
tinue the  appropriation.  Our  asking  will 
not  fail  if  this  association  properly  sup- 
ports the  movement.  Each  member 
should  personally  see  his  representative 
on  the  appropriations  committee  in  the 
assembly  and  ask  his  support  for  an  ap- 
propriation for  work  in  floriculture. 

The  following  tables  will  show  the 
growth  of  floriculture  in  Illinois  in

TheVUaktL 


The  promise  of  the  old  proverb  con- 
cerning March  should  encourage  all 
who  labor  for  and  anticipate  a  profit- 
able Easter,  The  fickle  month  has  come 
in  like  a  liou,  so  we  may  depend  upon 
sunny  skies  and  pleasant  weather  for 
its  close.  But  no  industry  can  realize 
the  planning,  difficulties  and  dangers  of 
this  movable  festival  of  Easter  so  viv- 
idly as  do  the  florists,  and  it  would  give 
general  satisfaction,  to  this  trade  at  any 
rate,  if  the  ecclesiastical  authorities 
would  get  together  and  fix  upon  April 
15  every  year  for  this  spring  celebration 
and  cut  the  moon  out  of  it  altogether. 
The  only  consolation  this  year  is  that 
Easter  comes  some  years  as  early  as 
March  22. 

Winter  is  making  up  for  lost  time 
and  we  have  more  snow  than  Canada 
can  boast,  as  a  visitor  from  Toronto  has 
.lust  informed  me.  The  week  opens  with 
iow  temperature  and  business  showing 
little  improvement.  Last  week  was 
called  the  dullest  of  the  year  and  prices 
of  everything  were  at  the  bottom.  The 
cold  hampered  the  street  merchants  and 
so  dammed  the  violet  outlet.  It  is  safe 
to  say  that  at  times  a  million  violets 
were  spending  the  night  in  the  whole- 
sale district,  dependent  upon  the  weath- 
er and  the  Athenians  as  to  whether 
they  would  ever  see  the  light.  The 
finest  specials  just  in  sold  as  low  as  40 
cents  and  hordes  of  leftovers  were 
closed  out  gladly  at  $1  a  thousand.  It 
is  painful  to  contemplate  and  perhaps 
the  less  said  about  it  the  better.  The 
oldest  wholesaler,  and  there  are  several 
of  them,  says  he  has  never  seen  any- 
thing like  it  at  this  season  of  the  year, 
and  yet  if  one  consults  the  records  of  a 
year  ago  he  will  find  that  this  is  but  a 
recurrence  of  past  experiences  and  that 
every  year  the  weeks  just  preceding 
Easter  are  "dead  ones."  With  Lent 
and  winter  out  of  the  way  the  old-time 


prosperity  will  rapidly  materialize  and 
by  March  31  we  will  forget. 

Just  now  there  is  enough  and  to  spare 
of  every  variety  of  flower.  Boses  are 
coming  in  quantity  and  color  to  the 
satisfaction  of  buyers  and  prices,  which 
have  held  firm  while  all  else  retrograd- 
ed, arc  now  shaded  considerably,  the 
best  Brides  and  Maids  selling  as  low  as 
$10  per  hundred  on  Saturday.  Beauties 
hold  better  than  any  other  Atariety  and 
there  has  been  no  change  in  quotations 
for  several  weeks,  the  best  grades  still 
not  equal  to  the  demand.  Chatenay, 
KlUarney  and  Richmond  have  held  their 
own  and  are  in  a  class  not  dependent 
on  oversupply,  for  there  are  never 
enough  of  them. 

Spring  flowers  are  much  in  evidence, 
sweet  peas,  forget-me-nots  and  stocks, 
with  slight  demand.  Where  the  nar- 
cissi come  from,  if  not  the  south,  is 
hard  to  estimate.  There  have  never 
been  such  heavy  receipts,  every  whole- 
saler being  overwhelmed  with  them. 
Thousands  were  sold  at  10  cents  a 
bunch  and  some  large  clearings  were 
made  at  50  cents  a  hundred.  There 
seems  no  end  to  the  lily  of  the  valley 
and  the  number  of  gardenia  growers 
must  have  been  greatly  increased  since 
a  year  ago.  Easter  lilies  are  not  yet 
plentiful. 

Carnations  are  especially  weak,  some 
grand  stock  selling  as  low  as  $20  a 
thousand.  Enchantress  and  many  of  the 
novelties  included.  Samples  of  the  green 
variety  are  already  on  exhibition.  The 
supply  men  have  the  secret  of  manu- 
facture widely  disseminated  and  every 
man  of  the  60,000  in  the  parade  March 
16  will  doubtless  depend  upon  the  florist 
for  suitable  decoration. 

Orchids  grow  more  popular  as  the 
varieties  increase  and  the  retail  win- 
dows are  made  attractive  by  profuse  use 
of  them,  the  prices  being  most  reason- 
able with  Easter  only  three  weeks 
away.  McManus  says  orders  are  already 
being  booked  for  shipments  at  that  time 
to  every  large  city  within  a  radius  of 
a  thousand  miles. 

Vartoisi  Notes. 

Monday,  March  11,  is  rose  night  at 
the  New  York  Florists'  Club  and  ex- 
hibits are  solicited,  not  only  of  roses, 
but  of  every  novelty  in  plant  and 
flower.  An  interesting  evening  is  as- 
sured. 

Visitors  are  cordially  invited.  The 
club  is  making  rapid  progress.  An  in- 
teresting surprise  will  make  the  evening 
memorable.  The  attendance  should 
never  go  below  100,  now  that  special  ar- 
rangements are  made  monthly  by  the 
entertainment  committee  to  get  out  of 
the  beaten  track  and  make  the  evenings 
worth  while  to  all  who  come. 

On  Wednesday  Mrs.  W.  B.  Fullerton 
delivered  at  the  American  Institute  an 
interesting  illustrated  lecture  on 
"Beauty  and  Utility  in  the  Home 
Plot,"  greatly  enjoyed  by  a  large  audi- 
ence and  made  especially  attractive  by 
the  colored  lantern  slides  introducing 
personal  experiences  and  accomplish- 
ments. These  lectures  are  given  weekly 
and  on  Wednesday,  March  6,  George  T. 
Powell  will  discuss  "How  to  Lay  Out  a 
Country  Place"  with  stereopticon  illus- 
trations. March  27  H.  Siebrecht,  Sr.,  will 
lecture  on  "Easter  Flowers  and  Spring 
Gardens." 

Messrs.  Siebrecht  &  Son  have  opened 
a  new  store  at  Ninetieth  street  and 
Broadway  and  fitted  it  up  handsomely.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review^ 


U7l 


WAYSIDE  NOTES. 

The  Baltimore  Gardeners'  and  Flo- 
rists' Club  is  justly  proud  of  its  new 
home  and  the  banquet  given  to  the  lady 
friends  of  the  members  Monday  evening, 
February  25,  in  the  hall  of  the  building, 
■was  voted  by  all  as  being  immense.  The 
building  is  complete  in  every  detail,  with 
storage  rooms  in  basement  and  on  the 
ground  floor  and  so  constructed  that  up 
to  the  present  time  no  ice  has  been 
needed  to  keep  the  temperature  down  to 
the  desired  degree.  Manager  Perry,  of 
the  Baltimore  Florists'  Exchange, 
showed  me  stock  that  had  been  held 
more  than  a  week,  owing  to  dull  demand. 
It  was  perfectly  crisp  and  fresh. 

Growers  are  increasing  about  Balti- 
more, but  there  is  room  for  a  good 
Beauty  specialist.  The  constant  call 
for  this  rose  and  good  price  paid  war- 
rants the  investment.  Since  the  great 
fire  wonderful  improvements  have  taken 
place  in  this  city  and  the  craft  have 
shared  in  the  advance.  All  the  principal 
stores  are  located  near  each  other  and 
make  excellent   displays. 

Feasts'  second  store  uptown  is  the  lat- 
•est  move  to  keep  in  touch  with  business 
moving  northward.  They  carry,  un- 
doubtedly, the  largest  stock  of  decorative 
plants  in  the  south,  devoting  two  big 
houses  to  that  purpose.  The  tall  house 
for  asparagus,  built  on  the  W.  H.  Elliott 
plan,  is  a  success,  as,  in  addition  to 
heavy,  long  strings,  sufficient  seed  is 
saved  annually  to  pay  for  itself.  A 
platform  has  been  erected  near  the  ridge, 
along  which  Asparagus  Sprengeri  is 
planted  in  boxes.  The  plants,  having 
unlimited  head-room,  make  great  growths. 
A  fine  lot  of  the  uncommon  Acacia 
pubeseens  was  noted,  also  the  new  daisy. 
Queen  Alexandra,  which,  while  a  finer 
and  larger  flower,  is  later  than  the  old 
variety.  Adiantum  Croweanum  is  pre- 
ferred to  all  other  maidenhairs.  Carna- 
tipns  are  not  extensively  grown.  Cardi- 
nal is  the  best  red,  good  color  and 
keeper,  but  not  free  enough.  Jenning's 
patent  for  benches,  consisting  of  1-inch 
iron  pipe  set  in  concrete,  is  used  entire- 
ly for  roses;  first  cost  is  all  there  is. 
Golden  Gate  is  grown  largely  here  and  in 
Washington,  Ivory  does  even  better 
than  Bride.  Perle  is  stiU  popular.  Me- 
teor is,  at  present,  more  satisfactory 
than  Eichmond,  which  is  grand  farther 
north.  A  battery  of  Furman  boilers 
furnishes  the  heat;  a  gasoline  engine  the 
motive  power  for  pumping  liquid  manure, 
which  is  carried  into  every  house  by  a 
system  of  piping.  An  auto  is  the  latest 
addition  to  the  delivery  system  of  this 
up-to-date  place. 

Dropping  in  at  F.  H.  Kramer's,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  I  had  the  opportunity  to 
see  his  new  rose.  Queen  Beatrice,  in  va- 
rious stages  of  growth,  and  while  the 
newly  cut  blooms  are  most  intense  in 
•color,  those  that  had  been  kept  in  the 
windSw  for  five  days  were  but  just  show- 
ing off  color,  which,  at  this  stage,  re- 
sembles that  old  favorite,  La  France. 
As  the  rose  will  be  at  its  best  during 
the  convention  of  the  Rose  Society,  an 
excellent  opportunity  will  be  offered  to 
see  it  growing.  Mr.  Kramer  says  it  is 
the  best  all  the  time  and  Maids  will  not 
sell  while  the  Queen  is  around. 

Peter  Bisset,  at  Twin  Oaks,  has  a 
promising  seedling,  of  which  Queen 
Beatrice  is  one  of  the  parents;  but  the 
gem  of  his  collection  is  the  result  of  a 
•cross  which  has  produced  a  perfectly 
full-cupped  form  of  the  hybrid  tea,  with 
the   scent  of  a  hybrid  perpetual,  large 


petalled,  good  center,  excellent  forcer,  in 
color  between  Mme.  Gabriel  Luizet  and 
Marquise  de  Castellane.  Unfortunately 
there  will  not  be  a  bloom  open  around 
convention  time,  but  at  the  time  of  my 
visit  I  saw  a  grand  flower,  unlike  any- 
thing I  have  hitherto  seen.  It  is  a  win- 
ner, no  doubt  about  that.  To  visit  his 
houses  at  this  time  one  could  hardly 
conceive  the  grand  display  of  aquatics, 
made  possible  during  the  summer,  and 
for  which  Twin  Oaks  is  famous. 

The  stores  operated  by  the  craft  in 
Washington  are  a  show  in  themselves  and 
will  well  repay  a  visit.  Eetailers  from 
smaller  towns  can  carry  away  ideas 
which,  for  various  reasons,  they  do  not 
originate,  but  readily  copy,  and  it  is 
quite  in  order  so  to  do.  Easter  displays 
will  attract  crowds  of  sightseers  and  it 
is  expected  that  the  rose  show  will  be 
more   largely  patronized  than   any  pre-

THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Herman  C  Baartman. 

Word  has  reached  this  country  of  the 
death  of  Herman  C.  Baartman,  senior 
member  of  the  bulb  growing  firm  of 
Baartman  &  Koning,  of  Sassenheim, 
Holland.  Mr.  Baartman  was  one  of  the 
passengers  on  the  steamer  Berlin,  which 
was  wrecked  off  the  coast  of  Holland 
February  21.  Of  the  143  passengers  on 
board  only  fourteen  were  saved  and 
Mr.  Baartman  was  one  of  those  whose 
lives  were  lost.  He  was  returning  from 
a  business  trip  through  England  in  the 
interests  of  his  firm.  Previous  to  this 
he  had  made  an  even  dozen  trips  to  the 
United  States  and  had  made  a  wide  ac- 
quaintance in  the  trade.  He  numbered 
as  many  friends  as  any  Hollander  com- 
ing to  this  country,  for  he  knew  his  busi- 
ness thoroughly  and  was  most  careful  in 
all  his  dealings.  The  information  of  his 
death  comes  to  his  partner,  John  Kon- 
ing, who  is  at  present  traveling  in  this 
country  and  who  states  he  will  continue 
the  business  as  heretofore. 


Mr.  Baartman  is  worthy  of  special 
mention  from  the  fact  that  he  was  a  life 
member  of  -the  S.  A.  F.  and  was  the 
only  European  member  of  the  craft  who 
was  so  affiliated  with  our  national  or- 
ganization. It  is  to  his  friendship 
with  William  F.  Kasting  that  his  mem- 
bership was  due.  He  joined  during  Mr. 
Kasting 's  administration. 

Philip  Winter. 

Philip  Winter  died  February  22,  at 
the  residence  of  his  daughter,  Mrs.  J.  A. 
Brack,  at  Glenville,  O.  Mr.  Winter  was 
83  years  old  and  a  pioneer  florist  of 
Cleveland.  He  located  at  Glenville  in 
1853.  Four  children  survive  him.  The 
funeral  was  held  Sunday,  February  24, 
from  the  residence  of  Mrs.  Brack. 

Ferdinand  Tschupp. 

Ferdinand  Tschupp,  whose  serious  ill- 
ness was  chronicled  in  the  Review  a  few 
weeks  ago,  died  at  his  home  at  North 
Bergen,  N.  J.,  Sunday,  February  24.  The 
funeral  services  were  held  February  28 
and  were  largely  attended,  as  Mr. 
Tschupp  was  widely  known  and  affiliated 
with  a  number  of  Masonic  bodies.  He 
was  66  years  of  age. 

Isaac  M.  Brainard. 

Isaac  M.  Brainard,  a  well-known  and 
wealthy  citizen  of  Gouvemeur,  N.  Y., 
died  February  26  at  the  home  of  his 
daughter,  Mrs.  Emma  Johnston,  aged  79 
years.  For  about  thirty-five  years  Mr. 
Brainard  had  been  engaged  in  the  mar- 
ket gardening  business  and  operated  ex- 
tensive greenhouses  in  the  town.  He 
leaves  one  son,  William  G.  Brainard,  and 
one  daughter,  Mrs.  Johnston. 

Sylvester  Snell. 

Sylvester  Snell,  a  well-known  market 
gardener,  of  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  died  Feb- 
ruary 26  at  the  age  of  73  years.  He 
leaves,  besides  his,  wife,  two  daughters, 
Mrs.  Herbert  Gumee  and  Mrs.  Frank 
Beckstead,  of  Watertown;  five  sisters, 
Mrs.  A.  Gillett  and  Mrs.  Clara  Holden, 
of  Watertown;  Mrs.  Barbara  Shaw,  of 
Adams  Center;  Mrs.  Joshua  Snell,  of 
Little  Falls,  and  Mrs.  Harrison  Fuller, 
of  Honeyville,  and  one  brother,  David 
Snell,  of  Watertown. 

Frank  Yahnke. 

Frank  Yahnke,  aged  70  years,  who  has 
been  closely  identified  with  horticulture 
in  Minnesota  for  a  number  of  years,  died 
at  his  home  at  Winona  February  27.  He 
was  the  proprietor  of  the  Pleasant  Valley 
Nursery  and  for  a  number  of  years  has 
been  connected  with  farmers'  institute 
work,  acting  as  lecturer  through  the 
winter  months.  He  originated  the 
Yahnke  apple. 

James  B.  Ennis. 

James  B.  Ennis,  a  veteran  nurseryman, 
died  February  24,  at  his  residence  in 
Bloomington,  HI,,  which  place  had  been 
his  home  for  more  than  forty  years.  His 
death  was  due  to  grip  and  pneumonia, 
although  his  health  had  been  feeble  for 
some  time. 

Mr.  Ennis  was  born  in  County  Dublin, 
Ireland,  October  18,  1831,  emigrating  to 
America  at  the  age  of  19  years.  He 
located  in  Philadelphia  and  entered  the 
Eleventh  Pennsylvania  Volunteer  Infan- 
try. After  the  civil  war  he  moved  to 
Bloomington,  where  he  became  employed 
in  the  nursery  business.  He  married 
Miss  Mary  Sheehan,  forty- four  years  ago, 
in  Philadelphia.  Six  children  were  born, 
all  of  whom  are  still  living.

Canary  birds  and  goldfish  are  two 
suitable  and  profitable  side  lines  for  the 
retail  florist. 

The  demand  for  greenhouse  help  again 
has  become  strong.  The  labor  question 
will  be  an  important  one  as  the  spring 
planting  season  approaches. 

Louis  Feeeman  is  to  be  superintendent 
of  the  joint  exhibition  of  the  American 
Eose  Society  and  Florists'  Club  of  Wash- 
ington, March  13  to  15.  His  address  is 
1307  F  street  N.  W.,  Washington,  D.  C. 

Those  who  are  in  search  of  novelties 
should  keep  an  eye  on  the  pages  of  The 
Eeview  devoted  to  European  advertise- 
ments. Practically  every  new  plant 
worth  trial  is  offered  there  as  soon  as 
stock  is  ready. 


HARDY  FERNS. 


Among  the  hardy  ferns  are  varieties 
greatly  differing  in  size  and  form,  from 
a  hair-like  creeping  stem  bearing  a  few 
simple,  moss-like  leaves,  to  the  vigorous 
growing  plajits  with  large  leaves,  attain- 
ing a  height  of  two  or  three  feet.  The 
varying  conditions  in  which  the  different 
species  succeed  is  remarkable.  Many  of 
them  require  a  warm  temperature,  while 
others  do  well  in  cool  and  shady  places. 

Of  the  4,000  or  more  species  of  ferns, 
not  more  than  about  forty  species  are 
suited  to  outdoor  culture  in  ordinary 
soils  and  situations.  These  species  can 
be  planted  in  beds,  borders  or  rockeries, 
or  in  the  foreground  of  shrubbery.  As 
most  of  them  require  a  somewhat  shady 
place,  they  are  especially  useful  for  fill- 
ing   in    places    where    grass    and    other 


light-loving  plants  cannot  grow.  Perfect 
drainage  is  required.  The  soil  should 
have  leaf -mold  in  it,  or  decayed  peat  or 
well  decayed  sod  will  answer. 

Hardy  ferns  are  best  planted  in  the 
spring,  says  the  National  Council  of  Hor- 
ticulture, but  they  can  be  planted  in  the 
summer,  if  the  fronds  or  leaves  are  cut 
back,  making  it  easier  for  the  plants  to 
establish  themselves  before  the  winter 
sets  in.  In  the  winter  the  ferns  should 
be  given  protection,  with  a  covering  of 
leaves,  hay  or  straw. 


LADIES'  AUXILIARY. 

Mrs.  Charles  H.  Maynard,  219  Horton 
avenue,  Detroit,  Mich.,  secretary  of  the 
S.  A.  F.  Ladies'  Auxiliary,  requests  the 
publication  of  the  following: 

"The  following  states  have  reported 
members  of  the  Indies'  Auxiliary  to  the 
S.  A.  P.:  Missouri,  Michigan,  Pennsyl- 
vania, Illinois,  Ohio,  Massachusetts,  In- 
diana, New  York,  Connecticut,  Louisiana,. 
Wisconsin  and  Washington.  The  secre- 
tary would  like  to  hear  from  the  District 
of  Columbia,  New  Jersey,  Colorado^ 
Iowa,  Kansas,  Kentucky,  Maryland,  Ne- 
braska and  other  states  not  reported. 
Our  first  order  for  pins  grows  small. 
Address  the  secretary." 


I*rovidence,  E.  I.  —  The  new  green- 
houses of  Ehode  Island  College,  Kings- 
ton, have  been  completed.  There  are 
two  east  and  west  wings  and  one  north 
and  south.  At  the  north  end  of  the 
latter  is  the  laboratory  building,  includ- 
ing offices  of  heads  of  the  departments 
and  the  caretaker's  rooms.  The  houses 
are  of  steel  frames  and  concrete  founda- 
tions and  cost  about  $15,000.

CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market. 

The  outlet  for  stock  has  broadened 
since  last  report.  The  lessened  social  ac- 
tivity, due  to  the  advent  of  Lent,  has 
pretty  well  worn  away,  so  that  the  legit- 
imate demand  is  about  equal  to  the  sup- 
ply of  first-class  stock  in  roses.  The 
knowledge  that  spring  sales  are  now  in 
order  has  become  general  in  stores  where 
this  market  is  not  drawn  upon  except  for 
special  large  lots,  with  the  result  that 
last  week  the  call  for  carnations  in  thou- 
sand lots  was  so  good  that  the  price 
was  advanced  on  Friday,  when  most  of 
the  big  shipments  went  out.  Friday  night 
one  house  reported  sending  out  20,000 
carnations  on  these  special  orders — but 
it  did  not  serve  to  clean  them  out. 

Beauties  continue  in  short  supply. 
There  are  not  enough  of  the  long  and 
medium  grades  to  fill  orders.  Short 
stock  is  more  abundant   and  less  in  re- 


quest. Quality  is  variable,  but  both  cut 
and  quality  are  due  shortly  to  improve 
materially.  Bride  is  in  considerably  bet- 
ter demand  than  Bridesmaid.  In  fact, 
all  white  stock  is  selling  well  because  of 
a  large  amount  of  funeral  work.  The 
same  factor  causes  short  roses  to  realize 
pretty  fair  prices.  None  of  the  growers 
has  any  complaint  to  make  at  the  state 
of  the  rose  market.  Chatenay  is  seen 
in  fine  form  and  there  are  large  receipts 
of  Bichmond  of  superb  quality.  Kil- 
larney  is  giving  a  good  crop  for  several 
growers  and  maintains  its  popularity. 

The  carnation  market  this  week  is 
slightly  better  than  last,  but  there  con- 
tinue to  be  heavier  receipts  than  the 
legitimate  demand  can  consume. 

A  little  bad  weather  last  week  put 
the  violet  market  in  a  worse  state  than 
at  any  time  thus  far  this  season.  The 
stopping  of  business  produced  an  accu- 
mulation from  which  the  market  has  not 
rallied.  Prices  went  down  to  where  many 
shipments  realized  no  more  than  express 


charges  and  there  was  considerable  loss. 
For  the  very  best  stock  in  the  small  lots 
50  cents  per  hundred  was  top. 

Callas  continue  abundant.  There  are 
increased  receipts  of  Easter  lilies.  The 
quality  is  nothing  to  brag  of  with  most 
of  the  growers.  Tulips  continue  in  large 
supply,  but  not  so  many  daffodils  and 
jonquils  are  seen.  There  is  still  enough 
valley,  but  not  quite  such  heavy  receipts 
as  in  the  last  fortnight.  Sweet  peas  are 
much  more  abundant,  of  fine  quality  and 
selling  well. 

The  wholesalers  are  speculating  on  the 
outcome  in  the  fern  department.  Stock 
is  spoiling  rapidly  and  that  received 
from  the  east  indicates  a  similar  condi- 
tion there.  It  is  predicted  that  $4  to  $5 
per  thousand  will  be  the  price  before 
new  ferns  are  in.  Smilax  frequently  is 
difficult  to  procure.  Orders  should  be 
booked  a  day  in  advance  if  possible. 
Adiantum  also  is  shortening  up.  Strings 
of  asparagus  are  in  fair  supply  but 
bunches  are  small.

Our  reputation  for  having  the  BEST  LILIES  is  because  all  our  lilies  are  shipped  in  the 
original  packages,  packed  at  the  greenhouses,  thus  avoiding  bruising  by  second  handling, 
and  because  they  are  from  the  most  expensive  bulbs,  grown  by  the  most  careful  growers.

Baskets  and  Easter  Novelties 

Just  received  this  week,  a  large  shipment  of  Baskets  and  Novelties.  We  saw  in  the  beginning  of  the  season 
that  we  would  run  short  before  Easter,  so  cabled  for  more.  The  large  demand  we  have  had  has  exceeded  all  our 
expectations,  but  this  new  lot  will  enable  us  to  fill  all  orders  promptly  and  in  a  way  that  will  please  you.  Order  one

St.  Louis  Exhibitors. 

Fred  C.  Weber,  Jr.,  was  in  town  last 
week  asking  the  growers  to  send  exhibits 
to  the  flower  show  of  the  St.  Louis  Hor- 
ticultural Society,  which  opened  March  4. 
Leonard  Kill  is  attending,  with  a  large 
display  of  Peter  Eeinberg's  roses.  He 
took  some  magnificent  Brides,  Maids, 
Richmond,  Chatenay  and  Uncle  John, 
also  an  exhibit  of  Beauties  and  several 
other  varieties  they  grow  in  lesser  quan- 
tity. C.  L.  Washburn  went  down  to  do 
a  little  missionary  work  on  behalf  of 
the  red  carnation.  No.  20.  J.  D.  Thomp- 
son, of  Joliet,  also  took  an  exhibit. 

Williams  and  His  Plans. 

Frank  Williams  and  his  partner, 
George,  of  the  Alpha  Floral  Co.,  Des 
Moines,  have  opened  temporarily  on  the 
corner  of  Adams  and  Wabash,  where  they 
have  a  large  double  store.  They  state 
they  have  a  three  years'  lease  and  have 
ordered  fixtures  to  fit  the  place  up  in 
first-class  style.  As  soon  as  these  are 
ready  they  will  open  a  permanent  store 
there. 

May  1  Frank  Williams  will  close  the 
Masonic  Temple  store,  which  he  has  con- 
ducted since  the  departure  of  Mosco.  He 
states  he  is  making  little  money  there 
and  the  landlord  added  $4  a  day  to  the 
rent.  The  Randolph  street  store  will  be 
continued  as  usual. 

Favors  The  Queen. 

J.  P.  Brooks,  who  is  conducting  the 
old  George  Harrer  place  at  Morton 
Grove,  thinks  The  Queen  is  the  most 
profitable  carnation  in  commerce  today. 
He  has  more  than  20,000  plants  of  this 
variety  and  grows  less  than  1,000  of  any    | 


other  sort.  Last  year  The  Queen  made 
more  money  for  him  than  any  other  va- 
riety he  grew,  and  this  year,  with  greatly 
increased  plantings,  it  is  making  the 
same  comparison  with  other  sorts.  Mr. 
Brooks  was  for  some  time  foreman  for 
the  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.  and  is  an  ex- 
cellent grower. 

Belated  "Wedding  Announcement. 

It  has  developed  that  Julius  Niesen, 
formerly  with  Wienhoeber,  and  for  the 
last  couple  of  years  in  business  for  him- 
self at  Holden's  old  stand  on  Forty- 
seventh  street,  took  unto  himself  a  wife 
several  months  ago.  He  neglected  to 
make  any  announcement  at  the  time,  but 
always  has  a  cigar  in  his  pocket  in  case 
of  emergencies. 

Gatfield  Park  G)nsefvatory. 

Jens  Jensen,  superintendent  of  the 
west  side  parks,  says  the  new  conserva- 
tory to  be  erected  in  Garfield  park  will 
be  the  finest  in  Chicago,  and  those  less 
conservative  connected  with  the  park  ad- 
ministration say  it  will  be  the  finest  in 
America.  The  estimated  cost  is  $225,- 
000.  It  is  to  be  quadrangular,  covering 
230x302  feet.  Tlie  bids  will  be  opened 
next  Tuesday. 

Veather  in  February. 

The  mean  temperature  for  February 
was  26  degrees,  right  on  the  average  for 
the  last  thirty-seven  years.  The  highest 
was  53  degrees,  February  13,  and  the 
lowest  2  degrees  below  zero,  February  4. 
It  was  only  three  above  February  22, 
giving  quite  a  variety.  The  precipitation 
was  only  one  inch,  less  than  half  the  i 
normal.     There  was  ten  inches  of  snow. 


The  wind  averaged  fifteen  miles  an  hour, 
one  mile  more  than  in  January.  There 
were  six  clear  days,  fourteen:  partly 
cloudy  and  eight  cloudy.  January  had 
twenty  cloudy. 

Various  Notes. 

John  Pehrson,  who  was  for  a  long 
time  in  the  retail  department  of  the 
George  Wittbold  Co.,  has  opened  an  at- 
tractive store  on  his  own  account  at  25 
East  Forty-third  street.  It  is  an  excel- 
lent neighborhood  and  only  a  few  doors 
from  the  Illinois  Central  station,  where 
it  is  passed  each  day  by  thousands  of 
people  who  can  afford  to  buy  flowers — 
and  most  of  them  do. 

Jensen  &  Dekema  will  try  four  novel- 
ties in  carnations  this  season,  planting 
each  one  quite  heavily.  These  will  be 
White  Enchantress,  Winsor,  Beacon  and 
Aristocrat,  and  Mr.  Jensen  thinks  they 
are  the  four  finest  varieties  that  ever 
have  been  added  to  the  lists  in  one  year. 

N.  J.  Wietor  says  the  business  in 
rooted  cuttings  is  ahead  of  expectations 
this  year.  Orders  are  larger  than  ever 
before.  One  order  was  for  10,000  Beauty 
cuttings  and  there  have  been  a  number 
equally  large  but  including  several  vari- 
eties. 

Arthur  B.  Dietsch  is  enjoying  a  good 
cut  of  carnations  from  the  late  Winandy 
place,  handled  by  Zech  &  Mann.  There 
also  is  a  good  crop  of  lettuce  now  on 
and  bringing  good  money. 

Michael  Fink,  who  sold  out  his  retail 
store  on  Cottage  Grove  avenue,  is  now 
with  the  A.  L.  Randall  Co.  The  Randall 
Co.  reports  the  call  for  white  lilac  stead- 
ily ahead  of  the  supply. 

The  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.  now  has  115

men  employed  at  its  greenhouses  at  Mor- 
ton Grove.  It  is  said  to  be  the  largest 
force  employed  by  any  cut  flowier  grower 
in  the  United  States. 

The  Florists'  Club  holds  its  March 
meeting  next  week,  Thursday  evening. 
Easter  will  be  the  subject  for  discussion. 

C.  W.  McKellar  says  orchids  have  im- 
proved in  supply  the  same  as  other  items 
and  that  the  demand  is  a  little  slow  at 
present  because  no  great  amount  of  wed- 
ding work  is  done  during  Lent. 

The  Benthey-Coatsworth  Co.  is  han- 
dling some  excellent  sweet  peas  from  the 
E.  G.  Hill  Co.,  Bichmond,  Ind. 

Home-grown  orange  blossoms  are  one 
of  the  March  specialties  of  the  E.  F. 
Winterson  Co.  They  say  the  green  car- 
nation fluid  is  selling  better  than  ever 
this  year. 

P.  Pearson  contemplates  selling  his  in- 
terest in  the  business  of  Keene  &  Pear- 
son, 920  North  Campbell  avenue,  to  en- 
gage in  carpentering. 

It  is  reported  that  J.  F.  Kidwell  has 
abandoned  his  plan  of  erecting  a  range 
of  greenhouses  west  of  the  city  this  sea- 
son, 

E.  Franzen,  sales  manager  for  Schei- 
den  &  Schoos,  says  the  demand  for  car- 
nation cuttings,  especially  Enchantress, 
continues  excellent.  He  is  surprised  at 
the  number  of  inquiries  received  for  un- 
rooted cuttings  of  Enchantress. 

Klehm's  cut  of  Novelty  tulips  is  o%Ter 
for  the  season.  Kennicott  Bros.  Co.  re- 
ports having  done  especially  well  on  them 
this  year. 

James  King,  of  Elmhurst,  is  serving 
on  the  federal  grand  jury,  reported  by 
the  daily  papers  as  about  to  indict  a 
number  of  trust  officials. 


O.  P.  Bassett  has  written  from  Fun- 
chal,  Island  of  Madeira,  that  the  flowers 
of  their  red  carnation.  No.  20,  taken 
with  him  on  the  steamer,  were  still  in 
good  condition.  They  were  shipped  from 
Chicago  February  5  and  Mr.  Bassett 's 
letter  was  dated  February  12, 

The  latest  popular  song  had  been  sung 
by  John  P.  Kisch,  if  with  somewhat  dif- 
ferent words,  for  two  years  before  it 
became  the  hit  of  musical  comedy.  Its 
title  is  * '  My  Irish  Eosie. ' '  A  good 
many  have  joined  in  the  chorus. 

E.  C.  Amling  says  the  sun  has  brought 
out  the  sweet  peas  in  abundance.  They 
have  had  a  brisk  sale  up  to  the  last  few 
days. 

Although  Peter  Keinberg  has  been  de- 
nounced by  Alayor  Dunne  and  his  friends 
because  as  alderman  he  voted  for  the 
new  traction  ordinances,  and  because  he 
favored  Carter  Harrison  for  mayor, 
when  the  Dunne  people  made  up  their 
finance  committee  they  put  Mr.  Eein- 
berg's  name  well  up  on  the  list.  He  is 
expected  to  raise  funds  for  a  cause  he 
does  not  favor.  All  that  Mr.  Beinberg 
does  in  the  present  campaign  will  bo 
done  for  the  democratic  party  and  not 
for  municipal  ownership. 

Adam  Wolniewicz  says  he  will  have 
about  1,000  geraniums  in  bloom  for  Eas- 
ter. One  of  the  sections  of  his  cast-iron 
boiler  broke  last  week,  but  he  patched  it 
with  Smooth-on  cement  and  escaped  loss. 
He  thinks  the  patched  boiler  will  carry 
him  through  tlie  season. 

A.  L.  Vaughan,  of  Vaughan  &  Spcrry, 
has  spent  a  few  days  canvassing  the 
prospects  among  the  growers  and  thinks 
well  of  them. 

"\Vm.  A.  Peterson  and  "Gipsy"  Smith, 


the  evangelist,  have  been  conducting  re- 
vival services  in  various  parts  of  Chi- 
cago, doing  spring  plowing  in  the  Lord's 
garden,  as  it  were. 

At  E.  H.  Hunt's,  C.  M.  Dickinson 
says  the  approach  of  spring  is  made  ap- 
parent by  increased  calls  for  To-bak-ine 
products. 

Kobert  Klagge  and  wife,  Mt.  Clemens, 
Mich.,  were  in  town  last  week. 

Otto  6oerisch  was  lucky  man  in  a  suit 
club  this  week,  on  an  investment  of  $2. 

The  business  in  young  stock  seems 
quite  satisfactory  to  all  this  year.  There 
also  is  an  excellent  sale  for  the  old 
plants  from  the  benches,  especially  Beau- 
ties. 


ST.  LOUIS. 


The  Market. 


Business  is  still  good  locally,  as  a  fair 
week's  business  was  reported  last  week 
by  almost  all  the  retailers.  Funeral  work 
is  especially  heavy.  There  seem  to  be 
])lenty  of  small  weddings  and  an  occa- 
sional large  one,  in  spite  of  tiie  Lenten 
season.  The  Orthwein  wedding,  March  5, 
was  one  of  the  largest  this  season.  Other 
social  work  is  somewhat  scarce. 

In  roses,  first-class  stock  in  Brides  and 
Maids  is  still  scarce  and  high  in  price. 
Large  quantities  of  violets  are  being 
brought  into  market  every  day  and  the 
demand  for  them  is  excellent.  Prices 
range  low.  The  supply  of  Californias 
will  be  small  for  Easter. 

Carnations  are  a  little  too  plentiful, 
but  still  in  great  demand,  with  prices 
for  extra  fancy  at  $4  per  hundred.  Qual- 
ity is  extra  fine  in  all  varieties,  especially

Nelson  Fisher,  Lady  Bountiful  and  En-

The  run  on  bulb  stock  at  the  wholesale 
houses  has  been  good.  Valley  is  plenti- 
ful, and  so  are  Von  Sions  and  tulips. 
Callas  are  well  up  in  demand.  Dutch 
hyacinths  sell  well.  Eomans,  Paper 
Whites  and  freesia  are  none  too  many. 

Extra  fine  quality  of  sweet  peas  are 
to  be  had,  also  forced  white  lilac.  In 
greens  everything  one  wants'  is  to  be 
had. 

Various  Notes. 

E.  W.  Guy,  of  Belleville,  has  returned 
from  a  visit  to  bis  father,  at  St.  James, 
Mo. 

C.  De  Wever,  who  has  been  very  sick 
for  the  last  three  weeks,  has  fully  recov- 
ered. Mr.  De  Wever  had  a  close  call, 
but  his  strong  constitution  pulled  him 
through. 

Walter  Eetzer,  late  in  the  employ  of 
Mrs.  M.  M.  Ayers,  is  now  with  the  St. 
Louis  Seed  Co. 

J.  W.  Dunford,  at  Clayton,  is  busy 
shifting  his  stock  of  15,000  geraniums 
into  4-inch  pots.  He  reports  that  he  is 
entirely  sold  out  of  pot  lilies  for  Easter. 

C.  A.  Kuehn  reports  that  the  green 
carnation  fluid  put  up  by  the  Manchester 
Chemical  Co.  is  selling  well. 

S.  S.  Skidelsky,  of  Philadelphia,  was 
in  town  this  week. 

Walter  Weber  and  Frank  Fillmore 
paid  a  visit  last  week  to  their  friends, 
John  Steidle,  A.  Jablonsky  and  James 
Dunford,  in  the  country. 

Miss  Meyers,  bookkeeper  for  George 
Angermueller,  says  that  the  rumor  report- 
ing that  she  is  to  be  married  soon  is  a 
bit  too  previous  and  says  that  a  man  of 


her  choice  must  have  100,000  feet  of 
glass  well  filled  with  the  choicest  stock. 

W.  C.  Smith  &  Co.  have  received  a 
large  shipment  of  florists'  supplies  from 
Bayersdorfer,  Philadelphia,  including 
good  styles  in  wicker  baskets. 

Charles  Dauernheim,  Jr.,  of  Kimnls- 
wick,  Mo.,  is  cutting  a  fine  lot  of  extra 
quality  carnation  blooms,  which  are  con- 
signed to  Henry  Berning. 

Oscar  Huettmann  must  be  busy  these 
Lenten  days,  from  the  amount  of  stock 
he  carries  home  each  morning. 

Rude  Windt,  who  has  charge  of  his  fa- 
ther's  show  houses,  has  a  fine  lot  of 
blooming  plants  and  cut  stock.  Business 
is  all  that  could  be  expected  during  the 
Lenten  season. 

Fred  Pope,  on  the  south  side,  has  had 
a  busy  week  in  funeral  orders.  His 
houses  are  well  filled  with  Easter  stock 
of  all  kinds. 

Henry  Ostertag,  of  Ostertag  Bros.,  re- 
ports the  Orthwein  wedding  for  Tuesday 
one  of  the  largest  of  the  season.  They 
ordered  a  large  shipment  of  orchids  from 
New  York.  This  order  will  run  close  to 
$1,000. 

From  present  prospects  quite  a  lot  of 
glass  will  be  added  by  several  of  the 
Kirkwood  growers  this  summer.  Grow- 
ers at  this  place  have  almost  doubled 
their  business  this  season.  They  grow 
little  but  violets  and  carnations. 

A.  Berdan,  of  Kirkwood,  is  sending  in 
some  extra  fine  lily  of  the  valley  and 
other  bulbous  stock, 

John  Burke,  Fred  Foster  and  Alex  Sie- 
gel  tried  to  corner  the  market  in  violets 
last  Saturday  and  partly  succeeded  early 
in  the  morning,  but  later  too  many  came 


in,  so  the  smaller  buyers  had  theii  share 
as  well. 

Monday  morning  the  committee  was 
working  hard  in  the  banquet  hall  in  the 
Masonic  Temple  to  have  everything  in 
readiness  for  the  Horticultural  Society's 
spring  flower  show,  which  opened  March 
4.  I  Complimentary  tickets  have  been 
sent  broadcast  to  business  men  and  soci- 
ety folks.  In  this  way  it  is  expected  to 
enroll  a  large  number  of  the  more 
wealthy  class,  who  will,  in  the  future, 
pay  for  the  holding  of  flower  shows  in 
the  fall.      J.  J.  B.

The  Market. 


Business  last  week  was  fairly  good. 
Nothing  of  great  importance  was  on 
hand,  but  enough  trade  to  keep  everyone 
going  steadily  at  this  time  of  the  year. 
Funeral  work  has  been  the  most  called 
for.  Our  growers  have  no  trouble  in 
disposing  of  their  cut  blooms,  as  we  have 
had  so  vast  an  amount  of  funeral  work; 
in  fact,  any  kind  of  flowers  were  salable 
that  could  be  used. 

We  are  having  fine,  bright  sunshine 
and  roses  and  carnations  are  coming  in 
heavier,  with  a  slight  decrease  in  prices. 
A  large  amount  of  bulbous  stock  is  on 
the  market  and  can  be  had  in  any  quan- 
tity at  reasonable  prices.  The  Harrisii 
stock  looks  unfavorable  in  some  sections 
and  a  short  crop  is  feared.  Sweet  peas 
are  more  regular,  while  violets  are  plen- 
tiful, bringing  50  cents  per  hundred. 
Greens  are  scarce  and  many  order  from 
the  north.  The  cost  and  expressage  make 
them  expensive  and  there  is  not  much 
profit  for  the  retailer.

Various  Notes. 

A  representative  of  one  of  the  out-of- 
town  houses  was  here  offering  carnations 
in  lots  of  500  at  $2.50  per  hundred  and 
selects  at  $3.     He  took  many  orders. 

Edward  Pauth  reports  business  good 
and  can  offer  no  complaint. 

Henry  Eberhardt  has  been  offering  fine 
primroses  and  cinerarias. 

Charles  Cook,  West  Mosher  street,  dis- 
played a  lovely  stall  of  Easter  bulbs  in 
Lexington  market  Saturday  and  disposed 
of  nearly  every  plant. 

Fishniger  Bros,  have  made  their  ap- 
pearance on  Eutaw  street  with  a  large 
line  of  various  kinds  of  plants. 

Club  Meeting  and  Banquet 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Gardeners' 
and  Florists'  Club  was  held  February  25 
in  the  new  Baltimore  Florists'  Exchange 
building,  with  Vice-president  Charles 
Seybold  in  the  chair.  The  meeting  was 
cut  short.  The  new  bookcase  is  now  in 
our  club-room  and  was  admired  by  every- 
one.   Otto  Fielder  was  elected  a  member. 


The  banquet  committee  took  charge  of 
the  larger  part  of  the  evening.  The 
rooms  were  handsomely  decorated  with 
cut  flowers  and  potted  plants  and  while 
the  musicians  played  many  danced. 

August  Bernard  and  brothers  ren- 
dered a  number  of  songs  in  English  and 
German,  after  which  the  chairman  in- 
vited the  jolly  crowd  downstairs.  The 
doors  of  the  salesroom  of  the  exchange 
were  thrown  open  and  at  the  sight  of 
the  many  good  things  a  rush  was  made 
and  justice  was  surely  done.  It  took 
about  two  hours  to  reach  the  last  course. 
About  100  covers  were  laid  and  every 
lady  received  at  least  one  flower. 

F.  G.  Burger  was  the  toastmaster.  The 
arrangement  for  the  special  ladies'  night 
and  feast  was  in  the  hands  of  a  com- 
mittee composed  of  1.  H.  Moss,  T.  Pat- 
terson and  M.  Eichmond.  Those  who 
responded  to  the  toasts  were  Bichard 
Vincent,  E.  A.  Seidewitz  and  Robert  L. 
Graham. 

It  was  said  to  be  one  of  the  most 
successful  banquets  ever  held  by  the  club 


and  the  ladies  were  assured  that  a  ban- 
quet will  be  given  them  by  the  club  once 
a  year.  J,  L.  T. 


BOSTON. 

The  Market. 

The  inevitable  slump  has  come  and 
flowers  are  more  of  a  drug  than  for  a 
long  time.  Values  have  fallen  heavily 
and  vary  so  much  that  it  is  hard  to  give 
quotations.  Ice-chests  which  for  a  good 
many  weeks  were  practically  empty  are 
now  filled  to  overflowing  and  these  con- 
ditions are  likely  to  continue  until  the 
holding  back  of  stock  for  Easter  causes 
a  lessened  supply.  Eoses  are  much  more 
abundant  and  have  dropped  nearly  to 
normal  prices.  A  few  hybrids,  mostly 
Brunners,  are  seen  and  sell  much  better 
than  Beauties,  which  latter  are  being 
hard  pushed  by  Eichmond  this  season. 
Carnations  have  sold  as  low  as  $1  and 
none  but  select  stock  makes  or  exceeds 
$3.  Violets  have  been  slaughtered  un- 
mercifully, prices  of  10  cents  per  hun-

dred  being  recorded  on  not  a  few  and 
only  fancies  reach  the  50-cent  mark. 
Street  fakirs  are  selling  bunches  of  fifty 
at  10  cents. 

Bulbous  stock  is  too  abundant  and 
prices  erratic.  Sweet  peas  even  have 
been  a  glut  and  almost  unsalable.  The 
quality  of  these  is  splendid  and  it  seemed 
too  bad  to  see  such  large  quantities  un- 
sold. Lilies  and  callas  are  abundant 
and  much  lower.  Quite  a  variety  of 
other  spring  flowers  are  seen,  for  which 
the  demand  is  a  little  uncertain. 

Presentation  Banquet. 

About  sixty  members  of  the  Garden- 
ers' and  Florists'  Club  assembled  at  the 
banquet  room  of  the  Boston  Club,  22 
School  street,  on  the  evening  of  March 
6,  the  occasion  being  a  complimentary 
banquet  and  testimonial  to  ex-Presidents 
J.  A.  Pettigrew  and  James  Wheeler.  A 
generous  response  was  the  result  when 
an  appeal  was  made  to  the  club  mem- 
bers for  small  contributions  toward  a 
fund  for  recognizing  in  some  way  the 
services  the  two  esteemed  past  presidents 
had  rendered  to  the  club.  F.  E.  Palmer 
had  charge  of  the  arrangements  and 
these  were  well  carried  out.  The  deco- 
ration committee  had  seen  to  it  that  the 
tables  were  tastefully  adorned  and  the 
room  presented  a  very  attractive  ap- 
pearance. 


After  dinner  had  been  served  and 
cigars  passed,  Edward  Hatch,  the  genial 
treasurer  of  the  club  for  the  last  thir- 
teen years,  assumed  charge  of  the  post- 
prandial exercises  and  called  on  a  num- 
ber of  those  present  for  remarks.  Pat- 
rick Welch,  in  his  own  inimitable  way, 
in  the  name  of  the  club  spoke  of  the 
way  ex-President  Pettigrew  had  re- 
galvanized  the  club  into  life  and  the 
earnest  work  he  had  done  as  presiding 
officer  for  two  years,  also  of  the  earnest 
and  enthusiastic  work  of  his  capable 
successor,  James  Wheeler,  during  his 
tenure  of  office  and  amid  applause  pre- 
sented each  in  turn  with  a  handsome  tes- 
timonial in  the  form  of  a  handsome 
bronze  group,  suitably  inscribed.  The 
two  recipients  gracefully  and  feelingly 
responded,  speaking  of  their  terms  of 
service  being  made  especially  pleasant 
by  the  willingness  of  the  members  to  aid 
them  in  every  way.  A  musical  program 
of  songs,  readings,  etc.,  was  interspersed 
and  the  whole  evening  was  a  very  en- 
joyable   one. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  A.  Pettigrew  lectured  at  Horticul- 
tural hall  March  2  on  trees  for  streets 
and  waysides  before  a  good  audience. 
An  animated  discussion  followed  the  lec- 
ture. 

Fire  of  unknown  origin  caused  heavy 


damage  at  the  establishment  of  Elijah 
Cartwright,  in  Needham,  on  the  morn- 
ing of  February  28.  Efforts  to  subdue 
the  flames  with  small  hose  were  inef- 
fective and  before  help  came  the  head 
house  was  almost  gutted  and  the  ends 
of  several  connecting  houses  burned  out. 
The  stock  in  these  houses  was  almost  a 
total  loss,  carnations  being  mostly 
grown.  Much  sympathy  is  felt  for  Mr. 
Cartwright,  whose  loss  would  not  have 
been  so  great  but  for  the  fact  that  on 
the  morning  in  question  the  thermometer 
was  10  degrees  below  zero. 

Boston's  big  annual  automobile  show 
opens  March  9,  the  whole  of  the  immense 
Mechanics'  building^  as  well  as  Horti- 
cultural hall,  being  utilized  for  the  show, 
which  equals  in  size  and  number  of  ex- 
hibitors the  two  recent  New  York  ex- 
hibitions combined.  The  decorations  are 
elaborate  and  unique.  Mechanics'  build- 
ing is  a  representation  of  a  New  Eng- 
land apple  orchard  with  the  trees  in 
full   bloom. 

Entries  are  coming  in  from  the  spring 
exhibition  of  the  Massachusetts  Horti- 
cultural Society.  While  the  fine  ex- 
hibits of  the  American  Eose  Society  will 
be  missed  this  year,  there  will  be  an 
abundance   of   other  attractive   features. 

Sidney  Hoffman  had  an  effective  win- 
dow of  Ghent  and  mollis  azaleas  at  his 
Massachusetts   avenue    store    last  week.

A  recent  call  on  Joshua  Lawson,  at 
E.  J.  Milton 's  in  Brookline,  found  the 
cattleyas,  which  are  the  special  feature 
here,  in  fine  condition.  In  the  center 
stage  in  the  cattleya  house  the  plants 
are  tied  on  rafts,  six  or  seven  plants  to 
each,  and  seemed  in  excellent  health. 
Dendrobiums  and  some  other  orchids  are 
also  grown.  A  fine  batch  of  specimen 
cyclamens  was  noted. 

At  Mrs.  H.  Dumaresq's,  in  Chestnut 
Hill,  where  William  Downs  presides,  we 
found  excellent  batches  of  Primula  ob- 
conica,  cyclamens  and  other  seasonable 
plants.  In  carnations,  Patten,  Lawson 
and  Enchantress  were  doing  especially 
well.  Another  season  Beacon  and 
Winsor  will  be  tried.  Bridesmaid  and 
Eichmond  are  mostly  grown  in  the  rose 
house.  A  batch  of  exceedingly  fine 
specimens  of  Lorraine  begonias  were 
just  on  the  wane.  Nectarines  were  just 
coming  into  flower.  Mr.  Downs'  cot- 
tage is  both  internally  and  externally 
one  of  the  most  attractive  we  have  seen. 

February  broke  all  records  for  low 
temperature  for  a  long  term  of  years. 
In  North  Easton  we  recorded  zero  or 
below  on  twelve  nights,  the  lowest  be- 


ing 20  degrees.  March  is  rather  severe, 
but  there  is  no  very  springlike  feeling

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Risine  Eastern  Market. 

The  days  when  everything  sold  at  good 
prices  hav«  passed  for  the  time  being, 
and  it  is  now  oftentimes  diflScult  to  mar- 
ket flowers  at  anything  like  satisfactory 
prices.  The  oversupply  of  daffodils  is 
past,  with  daily  expectations  of  southern 
shipments,  now  overdue.  Tulips  are, 
however,  sold  at  distressingly  low  prices; 
really  fine  stock  has  been  retailed  on  the 
street  at  less  than  cost  of  bulbs.  This 
is  merely  an  indication  of  the  depres- 
sion in  the  tulip  market.  The  stock  is 
excellent  in  all  colors.  Violets,  while 
abundant  in  supply,  are  selling  well  at 
moderate  prices.  Sweet  peas  are  also 
extremely  plentiful.  The  best  sell,  but 
the  medium  and  shorter  grades  are  hard 
to  market.  Carnations  are  lower  in  price 
than  a  week  ago,  quality  excellent,  de- 
mand only  fair.  The  situation  in  roses 
remains  unchanged,  excepting  that  teas 
are  more  plentiful.  Smilax  has  advanced 
in  price.

things  so  natural  that  one  could  hardly 
believe  they  are  not  real.  The  leading 
ret.iiler3  have  greatly  praised  this  fern- 
ery, which  has  the  additional  recommen- 
dation of  being  moderate  in  price. 

Among  the  Growers. 

The  average  quality  of  the  Easter 
plants  at  Godfrey  Aschmann's  is  decid- 
edly higher  year  by  year,  showing  the  re- 
sult of  hard,  painstaking  work.  The  lil- 
ies are  nicely  budded,  averaging  five 
flowers  to  the  plant,  clean  and  healthy. 
They  are  already  being  hardened  off  in 
some  of  the  houses.  The  spiraeas,  the  va- 
riety is  Gladstone,  are  well  grown  and 
full  of  buds.  Azaleas  are  here  in  great 
quantity,  the  varieties  noted  being 
Deutsche  Perle,  Vervteneana,  and  Mme. 
Vander  Cruyssen.  Hydrangeas,  cinera- 
rias. Ramblers,  primroses,  begonias  and 
bulbous  flowers  make  up  the  assortment. 


What  especially  impresses  one  about  God- 
frey Aschmann's  place  is  the  care  he  has 
given  to  studying  the  wants  of  his  mar- 
ket (all  the  sizes  are  the  best  selling 
commercial  varieties)  and  the  large 
quantity  of  stock  that  he  disposes  of 
each  season. 

Carnations  at  Craig's. 

Robert  Craig  showed  me  as  pretty  a 
lot  of  carnations  as  one  could  wish  to 
see.  His  Enchantress  paid  him  93  cents 
a  plant  last  season,  a  remarkable  yield, 
and  this  year  promises  to  do  as  well  or 
better.  White  Perfection  and  Vesper  are 
his  whites,  Robert  Craig  his  scarlet, 
while  for  crimson  he  has  a  fine  seedling 
of  C.  W.  Ward's  'as  yet  unnamed.  A 
whole  house  of  seedlings  in  their  second 
year  is  a  fine  sight.  A  pink  of  good  size, 
brighter  than  Daybreak,  is  exceptionally 
promising.

77. — Last  year  out  of  4,000  Jerusalem 
cherry  plants  we  had  one  plant  one-half 
of  which  was  variegated.  We  ]vd\-v  taken 
cuttings  from  the  variegated  side  and 
also  the  berries,  Tlie  seed  is  just  show- 
ing now  and  from  all  appearances  it  will 
come  variegated;  at  any  event,  it  is  en- 
tirely different  from  the  other  seedlings. 
The  berries  on  the  variegated  plant  were 
the  same  as  on  the  green  variety.  It 
made  a  very  pretty  plant.  Do  you  think, 
this  would  take  as  a  novelty  and  do  you 
know  of  any  one  else  who  has  struck  a 
seedling  of  this  nature? 

Ans. — T  think  well  grown  and  well  ber- 
ried variegatt^d  plants  of  Jerusalem 
cherry  would  make  an  excellent  novelty. 
[  have  never  heard  of  variegated  plants 
coming  true  from  seed.  It  is  an  old  law 
that  nature  will  not  reproduce  itself  io 
variegated  form  in  this  way.  Phil.

WASHINGTON. 


Convention  Notes. 

National  interest  is  being  manifested 
in  the  exhibition  of  the  American  Eose 
Society  and  Washington  Florists'  Club 
■which  will  be  held  in  the  Washington 
Light  Infantry  hall,  March  13  to  15. 
Nearly  every  state  and  territory  in  the 
Union  will  be  represented,  as  well  as 
different  portions  of  Canada.  Washing- 
ton is  particularly  interested  in  three 
classes  open  to  amateur  competitors. 
Three  prizes  of  $5,  $3  and  $2  are  offered 
by  John  Clarke  for  best  specimen  of  a 
fern'  which  has  been  grown  in  a  dwelling 
for  at  least  four  months  previous  to  ex- 
hibition, Peter  Bisset  offers  three  prizes 
of  similar  amounts  for  best  specimen 
of  rubber  plant  grown  under  same  con- 
ditions. George  Field  offers  a  like 
amount  for  best  geranium.  Preparations 
for  the  exhibition  have  been  in  progress 
for  weeks  and  strongly  indicate  that 
Washington  will  this  year  have  one  of 
the  finest  exhibits  in  its  history.

Trade  conditions  remain  good  and,  in 
spite  of  brighter  weather,  almost  all 
kinds  of  stock  is  kept  used  up;  prices 
remain  good  and  the  quality  of  both 
roses  and  carnations  is  much  improved. 
There  is  an  abundance  of  bulb  stock. 
The  different  stores  and  the  market  had 
a  decidedly  spring  appearance  last  Sat- 
urday, the  window  displays  being  espe- 
cially attractive. 

H.  W.  Rieman  is  busy  planting  roses. 
His  Easter  plants  look  to  be  in  fine 
shape  and,  no  doubt,  he  will  reap  a  rich 
reward.

were  favorably  impressed  with  Hill's 
new  rose,  Rhea  Eeid.  It  is  the  rose  that 
will  make  the  hit;  a  fine  bud  with  a 
splendid  color.  The  firm's  new  houses 
were  interesting,  not  only  for  what  they 
contained,  but  in  their  construction  and 
heating.  The  firm  has  spared  no  effort 
in  making  this  a  model  plant.  At  the 
B.,  K.  and  B.  greenhouses  the  carnations 
were  fine,  their  Superior  showing  to  good 
advantage,  also  Sarah  Hill,  a  fine  white. 
At  Vernon  Grave 's  everything  was  lovely, 
ixis  benches  of  Enchantress  were  a  sight 
to  see.  All  his  carnations  were  in  fine 
shape  and  promise  well  for  Easter.  The 
nicest  lot  of  violets  in  this  section  of 
the  country  are  at  Ed  Ruch  's  green- 
houses. He  is  certainly  fortunate  in  es- 
caping the  disease  that  has  ruined  so 
many. 

E.  A.  Nelson  has  a  lot  of  spiraeas  com- 
ing on  for  Easter,  also  lilies.  He  is  one 
of  the  few  who  have  had  good  luck  with 
them  this  year. 

Arthur  Smith  and  John  Van  Aart 
leave  for  Philadelphia  this  week,  where 
they  go  to  take  charge  of  greenhouses 
at  Newtown.  Good  luck  to  them.  They 
will  do  a  wholesale  business.  S.

Tuesday  evening,  February  26,  the 
final  meeting  of  the  month  was  held. 
President  Stephens  was  in  the  chair  and

than  usual.  The  matter  of  the  distribu- 
tion of  the  penny  packets  of  both  flower 
and  vegetable  seeds  to  the  children  of 
the  public  schools  received  much  atten- 
tion. The  seeds  will  soon  be  ready  for

closed  the  evening 's  work.     The  meeting 
adjourned  till  March  12. 

Various  Notes. 

While  William  and  Samuel  Graflf  have 
been  in  Chicago,  attending  the  marriage 
of  their  sister,  Harry  Aaron  has  been 
assisting  James  McKellar  in  handling 
the  large  business  of  the  Graflf  Bros. 

The  Fifth  Avenue  Floral  Co.  Avas  espe- 
cially busy  last  week.  Among  other  or- 
ders they  had  the  supplying  of  carna- 
tions daily  to  the  booths  of  the  Ohio 
Hardware  Men's  Convention  which  is 
annually  held  here. 

The  craft  are  most  favorably  com- 
menting upon  the  splendid  American 
Beauty  rosea  at  the  Institution  for  the 
Feeble  Minded.  T.  A.  Sexton  is  in  charge 
of  the  state's  greenhouses  there. 

The  craft  are  glad  that  Mrs.  E.  M. 
Krauss  is  again  able  to  be  back  at  her 
store  after  a  severe  attack  of  the  grip. 

The  Clover  Hill  Greenhouses  have  a 
fine  stock  of  Easter  plants  coming  on, 
and,  as  usual,  their  regular  business  will 
carry  them  off. 

The  Franklin  Park  Floral  Co.  has,  as 
in  past  years,  a  large  stock  of  geraniums 


coming  on,  and,  considering  the  weather, 
the  plants  are  in  excellent  condition. 
The  varieties  grown  here  are:  S.  A. 
Nutt,  Queen  of  the  West,  Single  Gen- 
eral Grant,  Heteranthe  (Double  General 
Grant),  and  Mnie.  Hallock  Foote. 

The  incorporation  last  week  of  the 
American  Mutual  Pottery  Co.,  of  Co- 
lumbus, with  a  capital  of  $100,000, 
means  that  our  Columbus  Pottery  Co., 
recently  destroyed  by  fire,  will  be  rebuilt 
and  operated. 

Another  competitor  for  the  cut  flower 
business  has  appeared.'  The  Columbus 
Drug  Co.  has  added  a  floral  department. 

C.  V.  Heikes  &  Co.,  of  Troy,  O.,  have 
established  headquarters  here  for  spring 
nursery  stock  sales,  and  planting  eon- 
tracts  and  are  so  advertising  in  the  daily 
papers. 

There  has  been  an  unusiial  number  of 
spring  openings  in  the  big  stores,  which 
has  used  up  a  lot  of  stock,  and  this 
week  one  of  the  theaters  gave  carnations 
to  its  patrons.     All  this  helps. 

A  suit  for  .$500  damages  has  been 
brought  against  Gustave  Drobisch,  the 
dean  of  our  florists.  The  plaintiff  de- 
clares  that  the   smoke    from    the  green- 


houses of  Mr.  Drobisch,  has  blackened 
the  walls  of  her  house  and  polluted  her 
cistern  water.  Much  interest  in  the  out- 
come of  this  case  is  felt  by  all  the 
craft. 

The  weather  has  been  exceptionally 
sunny  and  fine  lately,  but  it  has  been 
cold.     A  great  trade  is  sure  for  Easter. 

Zero. 


Tipton,  Ia. — Mr.  Shiffer,  who  started 
the  Tipton  Greenhouse  some  years  ago, 
has  sold  the  plant  to  Mr.  Patterson, 
whom  he  employed  last  winter  during 
the  busy  season. 

Calumet,  Mich. — Fire  threatened  the 
destruction  of  the  greenhouses  of  the 
Lutey  Floral  Co.  February  25.  The  of- 
fice building  and  boiler  room  were  de- 
stroyed, and  some  of  the  plants  were  in- 
jured by  frost. 

Bo.\NOKE,  Va. — The  case  of  McGhee, 
the  florist,  against  the  Tidewater,  was 
closed  February  26.  Mr.  McGhee  claimed 
$1,200  from  the  Tidewater  for  alleged 
damages  done  to  his  flower  beds  on  Jef- 
ferson street,  but  the  court  decided 
against   him  in  the  case.

LEWISIA  TWEEDYI. 

This  plant  is  to  be  numbered  among 
the  most  attractive  of  recent  introduc- 
tions,- says  a  writer  in  an  English  con- 
temporary. It  has  all  the  good  attri- 
butes of  the  best  alpine,  and  possesses 
the  finest  flowers  of  a  naturally  showy 
race.  It  is  a  Californian  plant  that 
grows  wild  under  conditions  that  are 
alpine,  on  the  one  hand,  and  partaking 
of  those  of  the  desert  on  the  other,  inso- 
much that  cultivation,  as  we  understand 
it,  is  more  likely  to  do  harm  than  good. 

It  forms  a  flattened,  leafy  rosette,  in 
some  measure  like  that  of  Echeveria  met- 
allica,  and  averaging  six  inches  across. 
The  flowers  are  produced  in  dozens  from 
the  leaf  axils,  and  are  held  nearly  erect, 
are  multipetaled,  fleshy,  and  funnel- 
shaped,  whilst  the  color  scheme  is  apri- 
cot mainly,  but  later  rose  and  purple 
struggle  for  place  till  the  flower  fades. 
It  is  a  beautiful  plant  in  flower,  and 
quite  distinct  from  any  other. 

Under  cultivation  one  could  select  for 
it  a  sheltered  recess  in  rockwork,  and 
plant  it  in  a  rift  or  seam  between  boul- 
ders, laying  its  roots  back  into  soil  and 
rock  chippings  as  far  as  they  will  go. 
It  cannot  have  too  much  solar  heat,  but 
it  can  have  too  much  moisture,  and  the 
position  noted  is  probably  the  best  that 
can  be  given  it. 

An  importation  from  California  of 
many  adult  specimens  showed  clearly  the 
conditions  under  which  the  plants  grow. 
The  roots  were  exact  copies  of  the  larg- 
est dock  roots  ever  dug — nearly  a  yard  in 
length,  and  they  bore  the  impress  of  rock 
chips  and  stout  yellow  loam  very  plainly. 
The  size  of  root  and  leaf,  and  the  num- 
ber of  old  flower  stems  these  imported 
roots  carried  showed  that  this  lewisia  has 
not  been  seen  under  cultivation  in  half 
its  real  strength  and  capabilities  of 
flower  production. 


The  Review  is  full  of  valuable  infor- 
mation. In  fact,  it  is  the  best  florists' 
paper  I  have  ever  read.  I  would  not  be 
without  it  for  ten  times  its  cost. — Geo. 
Fauth,  Woodlawn,  Md.

The  country  papers,  which  are  quite 
naturally  opposed  to  the  great  mail  order

master-general  is  likely  to  ease  the  fric- 
tion in  that  department.  To  none  of 
the  government's  new  policies  can  objec- 
tion be  made  on  principle,  but  the  appli- 
cation of  the  rulings  has  resulted  in 
much  excessively  fine  hair-splitting  and 
caused  no  end  of  annoyance. 

The  conference  report  on  the  agricul- 
tural appropriation  bill,  carrying  the 
usual  provision  for  free  seeds,  was  last 
Saturday  approved  by  both  branches  of 
congress. 

CALIFORNIA  CONDITIONS. 

Ordinarily  a  fairly  satisfactory  review 
of  the  condition  of  California  crops  at 
this  time  of  the  year  might  be  given,  but 
this  season  is  so  unusual  that  it  is  im- 
possible to  make  more  than  a  very  gen- 
eral statement. 

Boot  crops  are  pretty  Tvell  in  the 
ground,  but  so  far  (February  25)  have 
made  very  little  growth,  and  there  are 
still  many  sacks  in  the  hands  of  the 
growers.  Onions  are  finally  all  planted, 
though  only  within  the  last  fortnight 
one  large  grower  had  2,000  or  3,000  bags 
still  on  hand. 

Part  of  the  radish  and  lettuce  seed  is 
not  yet  planted,  and  some  growers  are 
still  planting  sweet  peas,  though  every 
day  of  delay  now  adds  to  the  risk  of 
failure.  The  success  of  these  late  plant- 
ed peas  will  depend  somewhat  on  the 
time  when  the  hot  waves  come.  If  all 
goes  well,  they  may  make  a  good  crop, 
because  the  ground  is  thoroughly  soaked. 

The  onion  crop,  on  the  whole,  does 
not  look  encouraging.  Some  fields  are  in 
excellent  condition,  but  many  others  have 
been  drowned  out,  and  many  more  have 
been  so  affected  by  water  as  to  greatly 
retard  the  growth  of  the  onions  and  to 
cause  a  thin  stand. 

Weeds  are  also  getting  quite  a  start  on 
some  fields  and  they  will  make  the  work 
of  the  grower  harder  in  this  already  dif- 
ficult season. 

Growers  are  now  hustling  after  their 
bulb  men  for  next  year.     Most  of  the

seed  to  produce  next  year's  onion  crop 
is  probably  already  in  the  ground,  though 
one  grower  was  trying  to  place  contracts 
last  week,  and  the  condition  of  some 
fields  already  planted  or  contracted  for 
is  not  the  best.  It  is  far  too  early,  how- 
ever, to  guess  at  the  prospects  for  bulbs 
for  the  1907  harvest.  Aluum. 


THE  SPIRIT  AND  THE  LETTER. 

The  horticultural  trades  in  England 
are  by  the  ears  over  the  Prevention  of 
Corruption  Act,  which  prohibited  the 
paying  of  commissions  to  employees,  in- 
cluding gardeners,  on  purchases  made 
for  their  principals.  A  trade  meeting 
was  held  and  over  800  firms  have  signed 


an  agreement  to  seek  no  way  of  evading 
the  provisions  of  the  act,  but  to  support 
it  loyally.  Now,  the  old  seed  house  of 
Sutton  &  Sons  has  issued  a  circular,  well 
within  the  terms  of  the  act,  which,  while 
setting  forth  the  firm's  aversion  to  get- 
ting business  by  feeing  customer's  em- 
ployees, goes  on  to  say  that  "while  so 
many  of  our  customers  ask  us  to  recog- 
nize the  care  bestowed  on  our  seeds  by 
the  gardeners  who  have  the  cultivation 
of  them,  we  have  not  the  least  objection 
to  doing  so,  if  we  have  the  express  ap- 
proval of  the  customer  in  writing.  For 
this  purpose  we  append  a  form,  which 
may  be  signed  and  returned  to  us. ' '  Ac- 
cording to  the  English  trade  papers,  it 
has  raised  a  storm,  as  being  a  violation

master  gcii(M-;il  is  likely  to  enso  tlie  fric- 
tion ill  tliat  <lcpartiii(Mit.  To  none  of 
the  govi'rnment  's  new  policies  can  objec- 
tion be  made  on  principle,  but  the  appli- 
cation of  tlie  rulings  has  resulted  in 
much  excessively  line  hairsplitting  and 
caused  no  eiul  of  annoyance. 

The  conference  repfirt  on  the  agricul-

usual  j)ro\ision  for  free  seeds,  was  last 
Saturday  ajijiroved   by   botii   branches  of 


CALIFORNIA  CONDITIONS. 

Ordinarily  a  fairly  satisfactory  review 
of  the  condition  of  California  cro])S  at 
this  time  of  the  year  might  be  given,  but 
this  season  is  so  unusual  that  it  is  im- 
jiossible  to  make  more  than  a  very  gen- 
eral stat'ement. 

Eoot  crops  are  pretty  well  in  the 
ground,  but  so  far  (February  25)  have 
made  very  little  growth,  and  there  are 
still  many  sacks  in  the  hands  of  the 
growers.  Onions  are  finally  all  planted, 
though  only  within  the  last  fortnight 
one  large  grower  had  2,000  or  3,000  bags 
still  on  hand. 

Part  of  the  radish  and  lettuce  seed  is 
not  yet  planted,  and  some  growers  are 
still  planting  sweet  peas,  though  every 
ilay  of  delay  now  adds  to  the  risk  of 
failure.  The  success  of  these  late  plant- 
ed pe.is  will  depend  somewhat  on  the 
time  when  the  hot  waves  come.  If  all 
goes  well,  they  may  make  a  good  crop, 
because  the  ground  is  thoroughly  soaked. 

The  onion  crop,  on  the  whole,  does 
not  look  encouraging.  Some  fields  are  in 
excellent  condition,  but  many  others  have 
lieen  drowned  out,  and  many  more  have 
Vieen  so  affected  by  water  as  to  greatly 
retard  the  growth  of  the  onions  and  to 
cause  a  thin  stand. 

Weeds  are  also  getting  quite  a  start  on 
some  fields  and  they  will  make  the  work 
of  the  grower  harder  in  this  already  dif- 
ficult season. 

Growers  are  now  hustling  after  their 
bulb  men   for  next   rear.     Most  of  the

seed  to  produce  next  year's  onion  crop 
is  probably  already  in  the  ground,  though 
one  grower  was  trying  to  place  contracts 
last  week,  and  the  condition  of  some 
fields  already  planted  or  contracted  for 
is  not  the  best.  It  is  far  too  early,  how- 
ever, to  guess  at  the  prospects  for  bulbs 
for  the  1907  harvest.  Ali.ium. 

THE  SPIRIT  AND  THE  LETTER. 

The  horticultural  trades  in  England 
are  by  the  ears  over  the  Prevention  of 
Corruption  Act,  which  prohibited  the 
paying  of  commissions  to  employees,  in- 
cluding gardeners,  on  purchases  made 
for  their  principals.  A  trade  meeting 
was  held  and  over  800  firms  have  signe<l 


an  agreement  to  seek  no  way  of  evading 
the  provisions  of  the  act,  but  to  support 
it  loyally.  Now,  the  old  seed  house  of 
Sutton  &  Sons  has  issued  a  circular,  well 
within  the  terms  of  the  act,  which,  while 
setting  forth  the  firm's  aversion  to  get- 
ting business  by  feeing  customer's  em- 
j.loyees.  goes  (Ml  to  Say  that  "while  so 
niatiy  of  our  customers  ask  us  to  recog- 
nize the  care  bestowed  on  our  .seeds  by 
the  gardeners  who  have  the  cultivation 
of  them,  we  have  imt  the  least  oiijection 
to  doing  so,  if  we  have  the  express  ap- 
proval of  the  customer  in  writing.  For 
this  jiurpose  we  append  a  form,  which 
may  be  signed  and  returned  to  us."  Ac- 
cording to  th(!  English  trade  papers,  it 
has  raised  a  storm,  as  being  a  violation

A  widely  circulated  farm  paper  of  the

on  congressional  free  seeds: 

"The  distribution,  as  now  conducted, 
is  really  of  small  moment  to  established 
seedsmen  from  a  financial  standpoint. 
Thirty  carloads  of  cheap  seeds  made  up 
into  8,000,000  allotments  of  five  packets 
each  appears  formidable  on  first  thought,

«cent  of  Souvenir  de  la  Malmaison,  very  full  and 
beautiful  form,  an  ideal  exhibition  rose,  a  good 
opener,  and  robust  grower. 

We  staged  68  perfect  blooms  at  the  Royal 
Horticultural  Society's  Show  at  Holland  House, 
July  9  and  10,  1906,  and  after  two  days'  show 
were  as  good  as  when  first  set  up,  and  were  ad-

his  trifling  allotment  of  cucumber,  radish

descending favor  of  his  congressman, 
may  be  led  to  enlarge  his  views  and  buy 
something  worth  while  from  his  near-by

all  loss  to  seed  merchants,  even  in  the

Barteldes  &  Co.,  Lawrence,  Kan.,  think 
they  get  the  brunt  of  the  government 
competition  a  little  hotter  than  most 
seed  houses,  as  witness  the  following 
from  their  daily  paper  of  March  4: 

"The  garden  seeds  sent  by  Mr.  Scott 
to  his  constituents,  to  be  delivered 
through  the  "World  oflBce,  have  arrived. 
A  mail  bag  nearly  full  of  packages  sits 
in  this  office  and  the  packages  will  be 
distributed  to  those  who  call  for  them, 
until  they  are  all  gone.  Get  yours 
early. ' '

PRIMULA  KEWENSIS 

See  neritts'  Review.  Bestoi  repert,  page  1099.  Feb.  28. 

This  charming  addition  to  our  greenhouse 
Primroses  originated  at  the  Royal  Gardens,  Kew, 
as  an  accidental  cross  between  the  small,  bright- 
flowered  Himalayan  species,  P.  floribunda,  and 
the  sweet-scented  P.  verticillata,  a  native  of 
Arabia.  The  plant  is  a  strong  grower,  with 
bright  green  leaves,  and  numerous  erect  flower- 
scapes,  10  to  18  inches  in  height,  producing  flow- 
ers in  whorls  at  intervals  along  their  whole 
length.  The  flowers  are  fragrant,  bright  yellow 
in  color,  with  a  slender  tube  and  spreading  limb, 
nearly  an  inch  in  diameter.  As  a  winter-flower- 
ing decorative  plant  it  is  an  acquisition;  its 
floriferousness  when  in  a  very  small  state  is  re- 
markable.   Per  pkt.,  91.00.

CATALOGUE  ILLUSTRATION. 

After  commenting  on  the  absence  of 
the  usual  number  of  gaudy  lithographs  in 
this  year's  catalogues,  a  writer  in  the 
Rural  New-Yorker  says :  * '  The  substitu- 
tion of  accurate  photographic  reproduc- 
tions of  flowers,  fruits  and  plants  for  the 
old  misleading  woodcuts  gives  an  air  of 
sincerity  to  many  catalogues  that  was 
formerly  lacking,  but  every  halftone  is 
not  directly  made  from  the  object  repre- 
sented. This  process  reproduces  as  well 
from  wash  drawings,  which  may  show  the 
subject,  not  as  nature  produced  it,  but  as 
the  artist  conceives  it  should  have  grown ! 
Little  exaggeration,  however,  is  indulged 
in  except  in  the  cases  of  a  few  incorrigi- 
ble offenders,  whose  customers  must  cer- 
tainly be  accustomed  to  discount  the 
claims  heavily.  The  catalogues  on  the 
whole  present  such  good  appearance  that 
the  colored  lithograph  as  an  important 
pictorial  feature  may  be  largely  discon- 
tinued in  the  future.  A  similar  restraint 
is  creeping  by  degrees  into  the  descrip- 
tive matter,  transforming  seed  and  nurs- 
ery catalogues,  acknowledged  advertise- 
ments as  they  are,  into  reliable  and  in- 
structive monographs  of  value  to  every 
■cultivator. ' '

Vegetable  Forciog. 


The  price  of  lettuce  at  Chicago  has 
fallen  about  one-half  in  the  last  fort- 
night. 

Practicallt  every  florist  who  sells 
bedding  plants,  either  does  or  can  sell 
vegetable  plants  if  they  are  shown  to  the 
people. 

Beussels  sprouts  were  introduced  on 
Long  Island  in  1876  and  have  become  a 
leading  item  with  truckers  there.  "While 
particularly  at  home  on  Long  Island, 
there  is  no  reason  why  they  should  not 
be  grown  anywhere  that  a  success  is 
made  of  cabbage  and  cauliflower. 


FEAST  OR  FAMINE. 

The  season  has  been  far  from  a  favor- 
able one  for  growers  of  ^vegetables  under 
glass,  but  the  higher  prices  realized  have 
in  rf  measure  made  up  for  the  reduced 


S.  J.  McMichaeU 


yields  which  have  resulted  from  the  long 
continued  cloudy  weather.  The  cucumber 
and  tomato  growers  have  suffered  to  the 
greatest  extent,  because  of  the  diflBculty

though  in  a  number  of  parts  of  the  coun- 
try a  generally  mild  winter  has  served  to 
keep  expenses  at  a  minimum. 

Now  the  prospect  is  for  a  reversal  of 
conditions.  With  longer  days  the  crops 
are  coming  on  with  accustomed  rapidity, 
even  seeming  to  grow  faster  than  usual 
in  the  warm  caresses  of  a  stronger  sun, 
and  markets  are  generally  full  of  stock, 
with  every  prospect  of  a  decided  drop 
in  prices  at  no  distant  day. 


McMICHAEL*S  PLACE. 

8.  J.  McMichael  has  built  up  a  large 
business  at  Findlay,  O.,  in  growing  veg- 
etable plants  for  wholesale  trade.  He 
recently  has  built  two  new  houses  cover- 
ing 48x136  feet,  containing  about  11,500 
square  feet  of  glass  and  costing  upwards 
of  $3,000.  He  is  sparing  no  expense  to 
have  his  establishment  up  to  date  in  every 
way.  Following  vegetable  plants  in  the 
spring,  he  does  a  large  business  with 
bedding  stock.

aNONNATI  MARKET  RADISH. 

In  speaking  of  the  Cincinnati  Market 
radish,  the  Livingston  Seed  Co.,  Colum- 
bus, 0.,  says: 

"This  superb  radish  originated  in  the 
vicinity  of  Cincinnati,  with  the  Glass 
Gardeners  there,  and  has  been  continu- 
ally used  by  them  for  more  than  twenty 
years.  We  introduced  it  to  our  trade  in 
the  spring  of  1895,  and  it  at  once  became 
so  deservedly  popular  that  we  have  had 
to  grow  it  ever  since  by  the  thousands  of 
pounds  to  supply  the  demand.  The  tops 
are  so  small  that  the  radishes  may  stand 
touching  each  other  in  the  rows.  One 
grower  says  that  he  never  thins  this  va- 
riety as  he  does  other  kinds  which  run  to 
seed  if  left  standing  too  thickly.  The 
Cincinnati  Market  radish  grows  perfect- 
ly straight  and  smooth,  six  to  seven 
inches  in  length.  Their  attractive  scar- 
let skin  is  very  thin,  the  flesh  crisp, 
brittle  and  of  delightful  flavor.  The 
finest  long,  red  radish  in  existence  for 
forcing,  and  it  outsells  all  others  in 
any  market.  Eemaining,  as  it  does,  a 
long  time  in  perfect  condition  for  the 
table,  after  it  is  first  ready  for  gather- 
ing, it  is  one  of  the  very  best  varieties 
to  plant  in  the  home  garden."

STEAMER  SAILINGS. 

The  tide  of  European  travel  has  again 
set  in.  It  will  gather  volume  as  the 
spring  advances  and  promises  to  be 
lieavier  than  ever  as  summer  approaches. 
Eetail  florists  can  add  to  their  business 
with  no  greater  trouble  to  themselves 
than  the  posting  of  a  list  of  steamer 
sailings  in  the  window.  Or  tell  in  a  neat 
circular  that  you  have  facilities  for  the 
delivery  of  flowers  on  any  outgoing 
steamer.  Then  mail  or  wire  the  orders 
to  be  filled  to  one  of  the  Leading  Retail 
Florists  in  the  Review.

SAN  FRANOSOO. 


The  Market 


Lent  is  here  in  full  force  and  the 
results  are  noticeable  in  our  line  of  busi- 
ness. The  demand  for  colored  stock  is 
limited,  although  there  has  been  no  ap- 
preciable oversupply  of  light  colored 
carnations  or  roses.  Enchantress,  Pros- 
perity and  all  the  fancy  light  colored 
flowers  offered  have  been  sold  quickly 
enough,  and  the  same  can  be  said  of 
Brides  and  Maids.  Beauties  are  few  and 
far  between  in  San  Francisco  at  present. 
It  looks  as  though  the  growers  were  all 
out  of  season  at  this  time  with  their 
supplies.  Bulbous  stock  is  scarcer,  al- 
though we  still  have  a  fair  stock  of  late 
flowering  narcissi  and  quite  a  few  tulips 
are  seen.  Valley  is  plentiful  and  moves 
slowly.  Violets  are  to  be  had  in  any 
quantity  and  the  price  remains  the  same. 

Wild  maidenhair  is  coming  into  town 
in  large  quantities,  much  to  the  relief 
of  the  retailers,  who  have  had  much  dif- 
ficulty in  getting  enough  adiantum  re- 
cently. 

Business  is  about  as  good  as  can  be 
expected  at  this  time  and  there  is  a  fair 
supply  of  funeral  orders  enjoyed  by  the 
retailers.  Over  in  Oakland  business  is 
well  up  to  the  handle  and  no  complaints 
have  been  received  recently  on  that  score. 

The  plant  trade  is  now  at  its  height 
and  florists  who  handle  these  as  well  as 
cut  flowers  are  very  busy. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  H.  Mann,  the  Pinole  florist,  is  in 
town.  He  reports  everything  booming 
in  his  locality. 

Hutchings  &  James  will  make  a  spe- 
cialty of  poinsettias  for  the  coming  sea- 
son. They  are  splendidly  located  at 
Elmhurst  to  handle  the  wholesale  trade. 

Frank  Shibeley  and  Alexander  Mann 
have  opened  in  good  shape  at  1203  Sut- 
ter street.  They  will  carry  a  full  line  of 
florists'  supplies. 

Domoto  Bros,  will  be  in  line  with  three 
houses  of  Easter  lilies.  Their  stock  looks 
well  at  present. 

J.  L.  Dorris  will  take  a  trip  to  Los 
Angeles  and  the  southern  portion  of  the 
state  in  a  few  days.  He  expects  to  be 
absent  a  month. 

Arnold  Eingier,  representing  W.  W. 
Barnard  Co.,  of  Chicago,  is  in  town.

PLANT  TRADE  AT  FBISCO. 

The  effect  on  trade  in  the  line  of 
small  plants  in  San  Francisco  has  not 
been  as  bad  by  our  late  catastrophe  as 
was  predicted  by  many  people.  The  plant 
line  at  present  is  fully  as  good  as  it  has 
ever  been.  There  is  a  good  demand  for 
stock  and  prices  are  better  than  for 
many  years.  The  retail  dealers  are  hav- 
ing a  harvest,  as  it  is  doubtful  if  there 
was  ever  a  season  on  this  coast  where 
there  was  so  much  stock  moving.     This

is  not  especially  noticeable  in  any  one 
line,  but  the  infection  apparently  has 
struck  almost  everything.  There  are  so 
few  really  good  nurseries  on  the  coast, 
and  such  demands  are  being  made  on 
them,  that  they  will  have  little  to  do 
business  with  after  the  season  is  over. 

Even  heavy  ornamental  stock,  such  as 
sidewalk  trees,  hardy  palms,  cedars  and 
material  that  usually  takes  many  years 
to  become  salable,  has  been  well  cleaned 
out  and  it  will  be  several  seasons,  even 
under  the  best  of  circumstances,  before 
the  young  stock  again  will  be  large 
enough  to  make  a  showing. 

The  facilities  for  importing  stock  from 
the  east  are  so  inadequate  and  the  time 
of  arrival  so  uncertain  at  present  that 
many  of  our  largest  growers  have  bought 
sparingly  in  the  east  and  Europe.  This 
also  has  a  tendency  to  make  growing 
stock  scarce  and  as  there  is  no  imme- 
diate relief  in  sight,  the  effect  is  bad 
for  heavy  planting  of  imported  stock. 

Another  feature  is  that  large  tracts  of 
land  in  the  vicinity  of  our  cities,  form- 
erly devoted  to  the  nursery  business, 
have  been  cleared  off  and  cut  up  into 
town  lots.  This  has  been  the  fate  of 
several  large  places  in  the  neighborhood 
of    San    Francisco    this    year    and    the

I  have  not  referred  to  the  cut  flower 
growers  in  this  article,  confining  myself 
rather  to  the  plant  growers  and  nurserj- 
men.  From  indications,  however,  it  is 
perfectly  safe  to  predict  that  they  will 
also  have  prosperous  times  and  that  th© 
idea  of  overproduction  is  ridiculous. 
There  is  more  demand  for  good  stock 
than  ever  in  this  locality  and  there  is 
no  danger  of  too  much  good  stock.     G.

The  demise  of  James  B.  Ennis,  Bloom- 
ington,  111.,  is  chronicled  in  the  obituary 
column. 

The  nursery  catalogues  are  now  in  full 
flight,  and  better  printed,  better  illus- 
trated and  more  numerous  than  ever. 

The  demise  of  Frank  Yahnke,  propri- 
etor of  the  Pleasant  Valley  Nursery^ 
Winona,  Minn.,  is  reported  in  the  obitu- 
ary column  this  week. 

There  is  reported  to  be  a  brisk  de- 
mand for  peonies  that  have  been  heeled 
in  over  winter,  but  no  one  recommends 
spring  planting  of  peonies  except  on  the 
theory  that  the  maxim  that  ' '  a  bird  in 
the  hand  is  worth  two  in  the  bush"  ap- 
plies also  to  orders. 

The  Peterson  Nursery,  Chicago,  re- 
ports an  excellent  local,  business ;  so  good, 
in  fact,  that  they  are  not  devoting  the 
time  they  once  did  to  the  wholesale  end. 
They  have  planted  an  unusual  number  of 
large  specimens  this  winter,  several  hav- 
ing been  hauled  forty  miles  from  the 
nursery. 

EosA  RUGOSA  makes  a  hedge  of  at- 
tractive appearance  from  early  summer 
right  up  until  winter  sets  in.  The  beau- 
tiful flowers  of  this  most  accommodating 
rose  make  a  hedge  of  it  especially  de- 
sirable, not  only  on  places  where  it  is  an 
aim  to  have  something  bright  and  out  of 
the  ordinary  run  of  hedges,  but  it  also 
appeals  to  planters  who  have  occasion 
to  plant  where  few  things  thrive  well. 
Rosa  rugosa  does  well  almost  anywhere 
and  in  any  kind  of  soil.  After  the  flow- 
ers pass  away  the  seed  berries  mature 
rapidly  and  soon  pretty  nearly  take  the 
place  of  the  flowers  in  point  of  attract- 
iveness. 


EUONYMUS. 


Mention  The  Review  when  yon  write. 


Euonymus  radicans  is  one  of  the  best, 
if  not  the  very  best,  climbing  plant  for 
many  purposes,  for  covering  buildings, 
although,  perhaps,  not  so  softly  pleasing 
as  English  ivy  or  Amphelopsis  Veitchii, 
it  is,  nevertheless,  better  than  either  of 
these;  better  than  English  ivy  because 
it  does  not  need  the  protection  in  winter 
that  the  latter  does,  and  better  than 
Amphelopsis  Veitchii  because  it  is  an 
evergreen  and,  for  that  reason,  especially 
desirable  for  use  in  cities  and  in  the 
suburbs  of  cities,  where  anything  green 
in  winter  is  quite  a  consideration.  This 
euonymus  is  desirable  also  because  of  its 
tenacity  in  clinging  to  whatever  it  is 
placed  against. 

Euonymus  radicans  argenteo-variega- 
tus  in  habit  much  resembles  the  former 
and  green  variety,  but  as  its  name  im- 
plies, the  foliage  is  brightly  variegated. 
This  variety  is  much  used  for  edging 
large  and  formal  beds,  for  which  purpose 
it  is  invaluable,  not  only  because  of  its 
being  suitable,  but  also  because  it  grows 
into  such  a  dense  mass  that  the  soil  in 
the  bed  may  be  piled  against  it  without 
injury.  On  the  contrary,  it  thrives  bet- 
ter when  the  soil  is  up  to  it  in  that  way. 
It  can  be  clipped  or  sheared  in  any  way 
desirable.    This  euonymus,  like  the  green

ANOTHER  BCXJIE. 

The  newspapers  in  Pennsylvania  and 
New  Jersey  are  much  wrought  up  over 
a  rumor  of  a  nurserymen's  trust  and 
will  not  be  reassured  by  the  fact  that 
they  can  find  no  evidence,  even  of  the 
organization  of  another  of  the  trade  as- 
sociations which  are  so  numerous. 

The  Trenton  Gazette  of  February  28 
says: 

New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania  nurserymen  are 
greatly  Interested  lu  a  project  to  form  a  com- 
bination to  control  the  entire  ornamental  nursery 
products  of  the  United  States.  W.  H.  Moon,  of 
Morrlsvllle,  Is  said  to  be  Interested  in  the 
project,  but  refused  to  discuss  the  matter  last 
night. 

An  organization  has  been  formed.  It  Is  re- 
ported, and  It  has  been  named  the  National 
Association  of  Ornamental  Nurserymen.  The 
association  held  a  meeting  in  New  York  a  short 
time  ago  and  another  session  is  scheduled  to 
take  place  in  the  same  city  In  the  near  future. 
The  association  Is  keeping  its  plans  secret  for 
the  present,  but  it  Is  understood  that  the  ob- 
jects are  to  get  every  ornamental  nurseryman  In 
the  United  States  into  the  association. 

On  the  same  day  the  Philadelphia 
Public  Ledger  said: 

Members  of  the  Pennsylvania  State  Nursery- 
men's Association,  which  met  in  secret  session 
in  the  Hotel  Walton  yesterday  afternoon,  denied 
that  they  planned  a  nurserymen's  trust.  They 
safd  that  they  favored  legislation  now  pending 
at  Harrlsburg,  the  purpose  of  which  is  to  create 
a  state  department  of  pomology. 

George  Achells  and  Abner  Hoopes.  of  West 
Chester,  attended  the  meeting  in  the  Walton. 
Both  were  seen  in  their  homes  In  West  Chester 
last  night,  and  both  denied  that  the  trust  plans 
had  been  forwarded  at  the  Walton  meeting. 
W.  H.  Moon,  of  Morrlsvllle,  refused  to  discuss 
the  proposed  trust,  although  he  said  that  the 
Walton  meeting  was  to  aid  the  state  department 
of  pomology  plan  alone. 

If  the  "ornamental"  nurserymen  or- 
ganize we  ' '  trust ' '  they '  will  do  the 
purists  the  favor  of  calling  it  the  As- 
sociation of  Dealers  in  Ornamental 
Nursery  Stock. 


HARDY  ORNAMENTAL  SHRUBS. 

The  National  Council  of  Horticulture 
says  that  too  much  cannot  be  said  to  en- 
courage the  planting  of  hardy  shrubs  to 
decorate  home  grounds.  Great  igno- 
rance prevails  concerning  the  varieties 
which  are  most  adapted  to  the  climatic 
conditions  in  the  extreme  northern  part 
of  the  United  States.  The  varieties  given 
hereafter  are  chosen  as  being  among  the 
best. 

The  lilac  is  early  blooming  and  re- 
mains green  in  northern  latitudes  long 
after  many  other  deciduous  shrubs  have 
shed  their  leaves.  In  May  its  trusses  of 
fragrant    blossoms    give    evidence    that

INSECTS  AND  PLANT  DISEASES. 

[A  paper  by  Arthur  H.  Rosenfeld.  assistant 
entomologist,  I>oulslana  State  Pest  Commission, 
read  at  the  annual  convention  of  the  Society  of 
Southern  Florists,  at  New  Orleans,  February  14 
to  16,  1907.] 

The  subject  assigned  me  by  your  very 
eflScient  secretary  was  ' '  Injurious  Insects 
and  Eemedies,"  but,  on  account  of  the 
breadth  of  this  subject,  I  have  decided 
to  narrow  it  down  and  talk  tonight  on 
"The  Value  of  Laws  and  Regulations 
for  the  Controlling  of  Insects  and  Plant 
Diseases."  Any  sort  of  talk  on  injur- 
ious insects  at  large  would  take  up  a 
great  deal  more  time  than  you  gentle- 
men would  care  to  give,  so  I  trust  that 
you  will  bear  with  me  in  my  choice  of 
a  more  restricted  subject  than  was  first 
given  me. 

Valtte  of  Laws  and  Regtilations. 

The  value  of  laws  and  regulations  of 
this  sort  cannot  be  estimated  in  dollars 
and  cents,  for  even  a  conservative  esti- 
mate would  reach  such  a  tremendous 
figure  that  the  mind  could  hardly  grasp 
the  vastness  of  the  sum.  These  laws 
have  resulted  not  only  in  the  direct  sav-

man  would  venture  to  conjecture.  No 
higher  goal  can  be  set  for  any  undertak- 
ing than  the  preservation  of  human  life; 
that  divine  fire,  which  when  once  ex- 
tinguished, can  be  no  more  rekindled  by 
hand  of  man;  that  flame  which,  when 
once  departed,  leaves  the  vessel  which 
contained  it  forever  cold  and  dark.  Had 
these  laws  accomplished  but  this,  how 
grand  would  their  result  be. 

Take  for  instance  the  laws  against  the 
Stegomyia  mosquito,  the  little  insect 
which  is  the  connecting  link  in  the  trans- 
mission of  the  most  terrible  scourge  of 
the  city  in  which  we  are  now  enjoying 
ourselves,  and  without  which  this  scourge 
could  not  exist.    By  enforcing  a  system.

fence  laws,  etc.,  wo  can  safely  look  for- 
ward to  the  total  eradication  of  the  cattle 
fever  tick,  one  of  the  greatest  scourges 
to  southern  agriculture.  "Without  cattle 
there  can  be  no  really  successful  agri- 
culture, and  with  the  cattle  tick,  we  can- 
not have  the  right  kind  of  cattle.  At 
present  very  few  southern  cattle  can 
compete  with  the  northern  grown  animals 
on  account  of  the  continued  sapping  of 
vitality  by  the  tick.  It  is  estimated  and, 
I  might  add,  conservatively  estimated, 
that  this  insect  is  at  present  costing  the 
south  $100,000,000  annually.  Think  of 
what  a  vast  amount  of  money  this  is, 
and  then  picture  to  yourself  some  of  the 
advantages  of  tick  eradication;  the  ad- 
vantage of  removing  from  the  fair 
shoulders  of  our  bonny  south  the  load  of 
this  yearly  depletion  of  her  coffers. 

I  could  continue  these  comparisons  in- 
definitely, but  as  we  are  at  this  time 
most  concerned  with  tlie  nurseryman's 
side  of  the  subject,  I  will  speak  only  of 
those  things  which  bear  directly  upon 
this  phase. 

State  Organizations. 

Almost  all  of  the  states  in  the  Union 
now  have  their  boards  of  entomology, 
crop  pest  commissions,  or  something  of 
the  sort,  which  are  engaged  in  protect- 
ing the  farmers,  fruit  growers,  gardeners, 
florists,  etc.,  from  the  depredations  of 
various  insects  and  plant  diseases  which 
would  otherwise  soon  overrun  the  states 
and  make  the  growing  of  any  kind  of 
plant  a  practical  impossibility.  This 
may  seem  a  broad  statement;  but  when 
we  think  of  the  destructiven»ss  of  some 
of  our  pests,  and  the  wonderful  powers 
of  reproduction  and  spreading  exhibited 
by  them,  we  can  see  the  truth  of  it. 

The  majority  of  the  organizations 
were  formed  primarily  to  fight  the  San 
Jose  scale,  the  little  insect  which,  thirty 
years  ago,  practically  unknown  in  the 
United  States,  is  today  the  most  feared 
pest  in  this  country,  by  all  nurserymen 
and  fruit  growers. 

The  southern  states  will  serve  as  a 
good  example  of  the  danger  of  deferring 
the  passage  of  crop  pest  laws  until  many 
insects,  which  might  have  otherwise  been 
kept  out,  or  their  entrance  greatly  de- 
ferred, have  been  introduced.  Our  crop 
pest  laws  in  most  cases  were  not  in- 
augurated as  soon  as  in  the  majority 
of  the  more  northern  states  and,  as  a 
consequence,  unscrupulous  nurserymen 
in  the  states  having  such  laws  and  also 
in  other  states,  dumped  a  great  deal  of 
stock,  unsalable  in  the  states  having  these 
laws,  into  the  states  not  so  fortunate. 
Here  was  where  the  southern  states 
came  into  possession  of  a  number  of  the 
insects  of  their  neighbors.  Had  the 
southern  states,  as  a  whole,  been  as  wide 
awake  to  the  value  of  these  laws  as  the 
northern  ones,  we  might  have  saved  our- 
selves thousands,  yes  millions,  of  dollars.

The  flowers  are  large,  of  splendid  form,  and  are  borne  very  freely  in  immense  clusters. 
The  color  is  s  deep  rich  shining  scarlet  slightly  dappled  with  crimson.  Foliage  is  a  rlob 
bronze.  Height,  3^  to  4  feet.  We  believe  that  Wm.  Sannders  is  decidedly  the  most  perfect

OTTAWA 

Is  a  strong  grower,  very  robust  and  6  to  6  feet  high.  The  flowers  are  large  and  beau-

sheen  and  you  can  imagine  the  effect  a  few  plants  will  produce. 

NOTE— We  had  this  Canna  on  trial  among  the  Canadian  experimental  stations  last 
summer  and  this  is  the  official  report  of  their  expert:  "Quite  distinct  and  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  shades  of  color  I  ever  saw  in  Cannas.  Of  70  massed  in  one  bed  during  the  past 
season,  this  was  the  most  floriferous  in  the  collection,  coming  into  bloom  eaily  and  con- 
tinuing until  cut  down  by  frost,  as  many  as  13  expanded  heads  of  blooms  being  counted  at 
one  time  on  a  plant,  and  not  a  poor  one  among  them,  all  being  of  immense  size."  50c  each;

The  Market. 


Stock  is  more  plentiful.  There  are 
carnations  enough  to  fill  all  demands. 
Violets  are  also  more  plentiful,  selling 
from  50  cents  to  $1  per  hundred.  Amer- 
ican Beauties  are  selling  slowly  at  pres- 
ent. There  has  been  quite  a  few  cheap 
carnations  and  one  store  had  16,000  on 
hand  last  Saturday  and  disposed  of  14,- 
000  of  them.  This  store  had  a  special 
sale  on  them  at  35  cents  a  dozen.  Two 
or  three  of  the  department  stores  also 
had  carnations  on  sale  at  20  cents  to  30 
cents  a  dozen.  These  sales  supplied  this 
city  with  cheap  carnations  for  a  week. 

AH  of  the  florists  are  getting  ready 
for  the  Easter  trade.  It  looks  as  though 
there  will  be  quite  a  good  many  Easter 
lilies  that  will  not  be  ready  for  Easter, 
as  they  are  forcing  slowly. 

Various  Notes. 

D.  Freudenthal  reports  good  business. 
Carnations  are  mostly  called  for  and  he 
handles  a  large  quantity  every  week. 

The  Kosery  Conservatory,  at  Westport, 
was  incorporated  March  1  with  $15,000 
capital  stock,  paid  up  in  full.  The  stock- 
holders are  Ed  Ellsworth,  president;  Al- 
pha Elberfield,  vice-president  and  treas- 
urer, and  H.  E.  Colvin,  an  attorney  in 
the  New  York  Life  building,  of  this 
city,  is  secretary.  These  three  are  also 
directors  of  this  new  company.  Being 
located  in  one  of  the  best  parts  of  the 
city,  this  new  firm  ought  to  do  well.  Its 
new  store  is  completed  and  is  open  for 
business.  The  last  two  months  of  good 
weather  has  been  in  its  favor  in  com- 
pleting the  store  and  conservatory. 

Amil  Eichenaurer,  formerly  employed 
by  the  Alpha  Floral  Co.,  has  been  sick 
for  the  last  two  weeks,  but  is  now  able 
to  be  out  again. 

C.  L.  Knobe,  of  the  J.  W.  Sefton  Mfg. 
Co.,  was  in  Kansas  City  last  week.  He 
reports  a  fine  business.  W.  H.  H. 


Madisonville,  Ky. — F.  A.  Chervenka 
has  left  Ira,  O.,  in  order  to  take  up  the 
management  of  the  Pleasant  View  Green- 
houses at  this  place,  for  T.  L.  Metcalfe, 
of  Hopkinsville,  Ky. 

Wheeling,  W.  Va. — John  Dieckmann 
&  Co.  have  purchased  twelve  acres  of 
land  on  Mountain  View,  where  they  will 
move  their  eight  large  greenhouses.  Mr. 
Dieckmann  will  also  erect  a  residence  on 
the  property. 


Announcefflent — Aristocrat 

As  we  have  not  made  all  the  deliveries  of  Aristocrat  as  promised,  we

for  delivery  before  the  end  of  March,  which  is  not  too  late  for  Aristo- 
crat, as  it  is  a  very  rapid  grower,  free  from  disease  and  will  do  as  well 
as  earlier  cuttings  when  benched  in  the  fall.  The  variety  is  an  easy 
rooter,  but  owing  to  the  very  unfavorable  weather,  cuttinss  did  not 
root  as  quickly  as  we  expected;  besides  we  are  growinw  them  cool, 
which  takes  a  little  longer.  All  of  the  stock  we  have  sent  out  has 
given  the  best  of  satisfaction,  as  it  is  our  aim  to  see  tbat  every  cutting 
is  first-class  in  every  respect. 

We  wish  to  thank  our  patrons  for  their  patience  and  assuring 
you  of  our  very  best  attention  and  tbat  your  order  will  be  filled  by  the 
time  stated.

MABELLE 

NKW  PINK  CARNATION  FOR  1007 

Color— A  peculiar  shade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lisrhter  than  the  Law- 
son.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the  brightest  sun  does  not 
injure  the  color.  Size— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
established.  Odor  —  Pleasing:,  but  not  strong. 
8t«ma— Invariably  strong,  but  always  grraceful,  raoK- 
ins:  from  12  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Habit, 
•tc— A  very  quick,  active  grrower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  On  ac- 
count of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  yery 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  away  rapidly,  blooms  early 
and  gives  long  stems  right  from  the  start.  Prodoot- 
iTeneaa- Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
use  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  and 
late,  we  have  ever  grown.  Stock  limited.  No  discount. 
Price  112.00  per  lOU;  1100.00  per  1000.

DETROIT. 

Tkc  Market 

The  market  conditiouR  remain  about 
the  same.  Trade  is  good;  but  owing  to 
the  fact  tliat  the  larger  retailers  grow 
their  own  bulbous  stock,  the  sales  at  the 
wholesalers'  ai-e  comparatively  small; 
consequently  some  stock  goes  to  waste. 

Roses  keep  well  cleaned  up  and  with 
white  carnations  it  is  the  same.  Several 
thousand  colored  carnations,  mostly  En- 
chantress, variegated  tulips,  daffodils, 
etc.,  were  not  called  for  last  week.  Con- 
siderable valley  is  being  disposed  of. 
Sweet  peas  and  forget-me-nots  do  not 
sell  as  well  as  might  be  expected.  Com- 
mon ferns  are  becoming  scarce.  Smilax 
and  asparagus  are  also  scarce. 

Various  Notes. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert  Klagge,  of  Mount 
Clemens,  spent  last  week  in  Chicago. 

Some  growers  are  keeping  their  car- 
nation houses  cool  in  the  hope  of  holding 
back  the  crop  until  Easter,  when  they 
will  bring  better  prices,  as  in  all  prob- 
ability the  present  large  supply  will  not 
last  long,  it  is  also  apparent  that  lilies 
will  be  scarce  in  this  vicinity.  Present 
indications  point  to  a  good  supply  of 
the  general  run  of  Easter  plants. 

Hugo  Schroeter  has  the  agency  for 
Detroit  and  vicinity  for  the  Baur  clip 
and  plier,   for  mending  split  carnations. 

The  store  at  245  Woodward  avenue,  for 
many  years  occupied  by  G.  Leadly,  is 
being  torn  down  to  make  way  for  a  large 
music  hall.  Mrs.  Allen  P.  Cox,  who  re- 
cently acquired  possession  of  Leadly 's 
business,  has  opened  at  233  Woodward 
avenue,  a  few  doors  south  of  the  old 
stand. 

P.  F.  Reuss  is  again  in  Detroit.  He 
will  be  in  the  employ  of  B.  Schroeter 
until  after  Easter. 

It  would  not  necessitate  a  twenty 
years'  sleep  to  make  one  feel  a  stranger 
in  the  business  section  of  Detroit.  This 
part  of  the  city  is  rapidly  undergoing 
a  complete  change.  Many  new  buildings 
are  being  erected  and  numerous  firms 
are  changing  their  locations.  The  center 
of  attraction  for  the  florists  seems  to  be 
Broadway  and  there  is  no  doubt  but 
what  this  fine  thoroughfare  will  some  day 
be  called  "florists'  row."  H.  S. 


Hinsdale,  Mass. — The  fern  dealers 
are  having  bad  luck  this  season.  The 
stock  in  storage  has  been  spoiling,  until 
now  there  is  not  enough  to  fill  contract 
orders.

JENSEN  &  DEKEMA, 


CINONNATL 


The  Market 


Last  week  developed  a  weak  market 
and  things  lacked  the  snap  and  go  which 
has  been  with  us  ever  since  the  holidays. 
While  this  state  of  things  is  to  be  ex- 
pected during  Lent,  still,  as  we  had  es- 
caped so  far,  we  were  all  in  hopes  that 
there  would  be  no  slack  Lenten  period 
this  year.  But  it  might  have  been  much 
worse.  Many  of  the  retail  men  say  that 
business  was  just  as  good  as  ever.  But 
there  is  no  question  that  there  was  a 
good  let  down,  in  the  wholesale  market 
at  least.  The  demand  was  poor  and 
prices  dropped  a  little  at  a  time  till  they 
were  down  to  a  fairly  low  level,  low 
enough  to  make  us  feel  a  little  uneasy. 
Monday  there  was  a  decided  brace;  in 
fact,  last  Friday  and  Saturday  both 
showed  a  considerable  increase  in  the 
demand.  It  would  appear  now  that  good 
business  will  prevail  until  after  Easter. 
The  supply  of  flowers  is  not  heavy  and, 
even  should  there  be  a  few  days  when 
the  demand  is  not  all  that  could  be  de- 
sired, it  will  have  little  effect  on  the 
price  of  stock. 

Various  Notea. 

The  outlook  for  Easter  continues  to  be 
good,  but  we  need  bright  weather  or  a 
good  many  growers  will  fail  to  get  in 
with  a  crop.  W.  K.  Partridge  reports 
that  he  expects  to  be  in  with  a  fine  crop 
of  both  roses  and  carnations,  which  of 
course  will  go  to  supply  his  retail  store. 
Max  Eudolph  says  that  his  houses  are 
just  in  shape  to  make  Easter  and  he  is 
happy  over  the  prospects.  As  is  usually 
the  case  though,  there  will  be  numerous 
growers  who  will  miss  it  by  about  a 
week.  Easter  is  early  this  year  and  with 
the  cloudy  weather  that  March  usually 
brings  it  takes  a  smart  one  to  be  right 
in  on  the  dot. 

February  business  was  a  revelation 
this  year  and  every  one  reports  a  de- 
cided increase  over  last  year. 

Fred  Gear  has  just  completed  building 
his  home  in  Clifton.  He  has  spared 
neither  expense  nor  labor  to  make  his 
home  right  up-to-date  and  it  is  one  of 
which  he  may  well  be  proud.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


March  7,  1907. 


PITTSBURG. 


The  Market. 


Another  week  of  Lent  has  made  no 
change  in  business.  There  is  nothing  of 
importance  doing  in  a  social  way,  and,  as 
a  result,  business  is  quiet.  Funerals  and 
small  trade  do  not  create  demand  enough 
to  use  up  the  stock  brought  in  and  prices 
have  fallen  to  the  bottom.  Bulb  stock 
is  not  in  demand,  with  the  exception  of 
Murillo  and  yellow  tulips.  Good  carna- 
tions are  selling  as  cheap  as  $15  per 
thousand.  Roses,  alone,  are  not  plenti- 
ful. Violets  are  in  abundance,  and  if 
you  buy  in  quantities  you  make  the  price. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Pittsburg  Cut  Flower  Co.  is  re- 
ceiving a  limited  supply  of  fine  lilies, 
but  with  prospects  of  plenty  for  the  last 
of  the  month.  W.  Q.  Potter  is  calling 
on  out-of-town   trade. 

J.  B.  Murdoch  &  Co.  have  been  han- 
dling this  season  some  fine  stock  from 
the  E.  G.  Hill  Co.,  Richmond,  Ind. 

John  Wyland  has  a  big  crop  of  Rich- 
mond on  just  now,  which  are  fine. 

Charles  Hoffman,  of  Allison  Park,  is 
handling  real  estate,  in  connection  with 
his  greenhouses,  and  says  the  odds  are 
in  favor  of  real  estate. 

T.  R.  Dunn,  who  is  running  the  old 
Gibb  place,  has  been  on  the  sick  list  for 
some  time. 

The  special  meeting  which  had  been 
proposed  for  the  Florists '  Club  has  been 
postponed  for  the  present,  the  committee 
not  having  been  able  to  make  the  de- 
sired arrangement. 

Randolph  &  McClements  have  three 
houses  going  up  on  their  new  place. 
These  are  the  first  of  a  new  range  and 
are  intended  for  palms  and  decorative 
stock. 

W.  J.  Smith  is  supplying  A.  W.  Smith 
with  quantities  of  fine  sweet  peas  and 
bulb  stock. 

G.  &  J.  W.  Ludwig,  of  the  Allegheny 
Market,  have  been  busy  the  last  week 
with  funeral  work. 

Ernest  Ludwig,  we  believe,  is  the  only 
florist  in  this  country  who  keeps  his  store 
open  day  and  night  the  year  around.  His 
stand  in  the  market  is  worth  a  visit  any 
time.  Hoo-Hoo. 

Cameron,  Mo. — Allan  Pfander,  a  young 
man  22  years  of  age,  has  just  started  in 
business  and  is  doing  well.  He  will  erect 
a  house  here  the  coming  season. 

Enclosed  find  $1  for  another  year's 
subscription  to  the  Review,  which  so 
long  as  I  am  in  the  business  I  will  never 
be  without.— Louis  H.  Seaman,  Danbury, 
Conn.

An  Immense  Stock  of  Choice 

EASTER  PLANTS 

Blooming  Caster  Week 

or  earlier  if  desired,  are  now  ready 
lor  immediate  shipment. 

Oome  or  matl  your  order  direct  to  the  head- 
quarters. Our  reputation  over  the  entire  country 
from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific  In  growing  Eas- 
ter stock  for  the  wholesale  market  for  many 
years  past  ought  to  be  sufficient  guarantee  as  to 
the  truth  of  what  we  say  and  aaverilse.  We 
have  every  bouse,  nook  and  corner  full  of  plants 
aijd  they  were  never  so  fine  as  ibis  year,  1907. 

While  laborers,  merchants.  Jobbers,  contract- 
ors, builders,  etc.,  have  Increased  ihelr  prices  al- 
most double  as  u^ual,  we  have  not  advanced  our 
prices;  but  look,  we  sell  our  plants  at  the  same 
old  prices  charged  two  or  three  years  ago  when 
the  cost  of  producing  plants  was  much  cheaper. 

What  was  my  dnty  on  my  trip  to  Glient, 

BelKlnm  (the  land  of  azaleas,  arancarias 

and  palms),  last  fall,  1906  7     Answer:    Of 

course,  the  interests  of  my  customers,  not 
speaking  of  the  1100  souvenir  cards  which  I 
mailed  to  my  customers  in  America.  For  the 
betieQt  of  my  customers  I  also  C>ought  Azalea 
Indlca  for  Easter  trade,  the  cream  of  Belgium's 
production  that  money  could  buy. 

AZALEAS 

Now  I  am  able  to  offer  to  my  customers,  and  the 
trade  in  general,  two  houses  full  of  Mme.  Vander 
Cruyssen  azaleas,  the  well  known  and  much 
favored  b^st  double  pink  azalea  that  has  given  so 
much  satisfaction  all  over  America  Plants  as 
round  as  an  anple.  just  covered  with  buds,  6  to 
7-ln.  pots,  at  60c,  75c.  II  OU,  11.25  tl.50, 11.75  and  12.00 
each.  Other  fine  varieties  auapted  for  American 
markets,  such  as  Niobe,  Benard,  Andre  Alba, 
Deutsche  Perle  (double  white),  Prof.  Wolters, 
Empress  of  India.  Vervaeneana  (double  varie- 
gated), and  about  eight  more  fine  sorts,  all  cov- 
ered with  buds,  6  to  7-ln.  pots,  76c,  $1.00,  $1.25,  $1.50, 
11.75  and  $2.00  each;  b%  to  6-ln.  pots,  60c  to  60c.

brand  bulbs. 

As  we  sell ourllliessocheap,  some otherplants

lilies  is  expensive.

TARRYTOWN,  N.  Y. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Tarrytown 
Horticultural  Society  was  held  February 
26,  President  Howard  Nichols  in  the 
chair.  Enoch  Evans  and  A.  L.  Marshall 
were   nominated   for   active    membership. 

A  fine  vase  of  the  new  scarlet  carna- 
tion, Beacon,  from  Peter  Fisher,  Ellis, 
Mass.,  was  on  exhibition  and  was 
awarded  a  certificate  of  merit.  Three 
well-grown  plants  of  Primula  stellata 
were  exhibited  by  Thomas  Atkinson,  gar- 
dener to  Mrs.  Henry  Siegle,  Mamaron- 
eck,  N.  Y.,  who  was  awarded  a  cultural 
certificate.  The  monthly  prize  for  twelve 
roses,  other  than  American  Beauty,  Avas 
won  by  James  Ballantj^ne,  with  Brides- 
maid. 

It  was  decided  to  hold  the  June  show 
June  14  and  the  dates  were  fixed  for  the 
fall  show  for  November  6  to  8.  A 
communication  from  David  Eraser,  Pitts- 
burg, offering  a  prize  of  $25  for  twelve 
blooms  Chrysanthemum  Miss  Clay  Frick 
at  the  fall  show,  was  thankfully  re- 
ceived, and  it  was  decided  to  oifer  $15 
for  the  first  and  $10  for  the  second  prize. 
A  third  prize  of  $10  was  then  donated 
for   the   same   exhibit   by   James    Requa. 

James  I.  Donlan  read  a  paper  on  ' '  Art 
in  Plant  and  Flower ' '  and  gave  some 
good  illustrations  in  the  arrangement  of 
cut  flowers.  Joseph  Bradley  contributed 
the  cut  flowers,  among  which  were  Roman 
hyacinths.  Primula  obconica,  mignonette, 
cyclamen,  carnations  and  sweet  peas.  A 
lively  discussion  followed.  This  was  con- 
ceded to  be  the  most  animated  meeting 
tlie  society  has  had  in  many  months  and 
was  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  all.  At  the 
March  meeting  an  essay  will  be  read  on 
* '  Outdoor  Roses. ' '  D.  McFarlaxe. 


ORANGE,  N.  J. 

The  regular  monthly  meeting  and  ex- 
hibition of  the  New  Jersey  Floricultural

lutions were  passed  upon  the  death  of 
O,  D.  Munn,  a  patron  of  the  society.  The 
ofi'er  was  made  of  a  prize  of  $10  for

Greenhouse  Beating. 


SIZE  OF  FLOW  PIPE. 

How  large  a  flow  pipe  would  be  re- 
quired to  heat  60,000  feet  of  glass  to  56 
degrees,  in  zero  weather,  with  ten  pounds 
pressure  on  the  boilers?  The  extreme 
length  of  the  main  flow  would  be  250 
feet.  I  intend  to  use  a  steam  trap,  thus 
doing  awaj"^  with  any  back  pressure  on 
returns.  A.  R. 

A  6-inch  main  flow  pipe  should  be  suf- 
ficient to  provide  heat  for  the  8,600 
square  feet  of  radiating  surface  which 
will  be  required  for  60,000  feet  of  glass. 

It  will  be  much  more  satisfactory  to 
you  to  state  the  dimensions  of  the  houses 
rather  than  to  state  the  glass  area. 
Glass  area  is  only  one  factor  in  a  heat- 
ing problem;  therefore,  the  above  an- 
swer is  not  as  reliable  as  it  could  be  made 
if  dimensions  of  the  houses  had  been 
stated.  L.  C.  C. 


PIPE  REQUIRED. 

How  many  feet  of  liA-inch,  2-inch  or 
3-inch  pipe  would  I  need  in  a  house  22x 
66?  The  south  wall  has  three  feet  of 
glass  and  the  north  wall  five  feet.  I 
wish  to  maintain  a  temperature  of  58 
degrees  when  it  is  40  degrees  below  zero 
outdoors.  I  have  a  Wilks  self-feeding 
heater  30x48  inches.  Can  I  put  a  new 
base  under  this  boiler  with  a  Martin 
rocking  grate  and  have  boiler  capacity 
enough  to  heat  this  house  and  a  5-room 
dwelling  house  added  ?  P.  J.  K. 


To  heat  the  house  in  question  with  hot 
water  at  180  degrees  with  l^^-inch  pipe 
would  require  1,260  feet  of  pipe,  with 
2-inch  pipe  w'ould  require  1,008  feet  and 
with  3 -inch  pipe  would  require  630  feet. 
The  grate  question  is  one  which  can  only 
be  settled  by  the  makers  of  the  boiler. 

L.  C.  C. 


TROUBLE  WITH  HEATING. 

I  have  six  east  and  west  houses,  each 
20x100,  and  a  north  and  south  house 
on  the  west  end  of  the  range.  My  boil- 
ers are  located  at  the  middle  of  the  west 
side.  I  have  the  overhead  hot  water  sys- 
tem, using  two  Kroeschell  boilers,  a  No. 
9  and  a  No.  5.     These  boilers  are  con-

nected  with  an  8-inch  main  flow  pipe 
which  runs  through  the  west  house,  where 
a  tee  divides  it,  and  each  east  and  west 
house  is  fed  by  a  3-inch  pipe.  Just  in- 
side each  house  a  tee  reduces  each  flow 
to  2-inch.  These  pipes  drop  under  the 
benches,  where  they  connect  with  4-inch 
returns,  so  that  there  are  three  flows  to 
six  returns  in  each  house.  The  returns 
are  connected  to  a  5-inch  main  return  by 
2-inch  pipe. 

I  want  to  maintain  a  temperature  of 
60  degrees  in  Illinois  climate,  but  have 
not  been  able  to  do  so.  If  more  radia- 
tion is  necessary,  could  l^^-inch  or  2-inch 
pipe  be  used?  Would  it  improve  mat- 
ters to  have  one  feeder  for  each  house? 
How  high  should  the  expansion  tank  be?

pipe  in  them  should,  with  water  at  180 
degrees  in  the  boiler,  carry  a  tempera- 
ture between  60  degrees  and  70  degrees. 
If  a  single  4-inch  pipe  could  be  carried 
from  the  boiler  direct  to  the  house  to  be 
heated  and  there  divide  to  supply  the 
three  risers  in  the  house,  I  think  greater 
efficiency  w^ould  result.  The  flow  is  cer- 
tainly greatly  impeded  by  reducing  to 
two  inches,  which  should  be  avoided  if 
possible.  The  common  riser  is  not  alto-

How  many  feet  of  2%-inch  pipe  will 
be  necessary,  in  Missouri  climate,  to  heat 
three  east  and  west  houses,  connected, 
15x100,  seven  feet  to  gutters,  and  eleven 
feet  to  the  ridges?  Hot  water  will  be 
used,  with  a  4-inch  flow  in  each  house. 
The  western  gables  are  of  glass  and  the 
south  wall  has  three  feet  of  glass.  The 
houses  will  be  used  for  carnations.  Solid 
benches  will  be  used,  with  one  raised 
bench  on  the  south  side  to  accommodate 
return  flows  under  it.  The  boiler-pit  will 
be  six  feet  below  the  surface.  The 
houses  slope  eighteen  inches  toward  the 
boiler-pit.  W.  B.  O. 

In  order  to  maintain  a  temperature  of 
60  degrees  in  the  houses  in  question,  you 
should  install  twenty-one  21/2-incb  pipes 
in  addition  to  the  three  4-inch  flow  pipes 
you  propose  to  use.  If  it  would  be  any 
economy  to  use  2y2-inch  flows  instead  of 
4-inch,  three  2  V. -inch  risers  direct  from 
the  boiler  will  do  the  work  just  as  well 
as  the  4-inch  pipes,  provided  the  piping 
is  properly  installed.  ^'  ^'  ^-

SIZE  OF  BOILER. 

I  wish  to  put  in  a  boiler  to  heat  a 
greenhouse  with  steam.  What  size  will 
I  have  to  use  to  get  60  degrees  temper- 
ature with  the  mercury  5  degrees  below 
zero?  I  will  have  to  put  the  boiler 
under  the  potting-bench  in  one  end  of 
the  greenhouse,  and  can  put  it  as  low 
as  necessary.  I  will  burn  gas.  The 
greenhouse  is  23x68  and  fifteen  feet  to 
the  ridge.  The  side  walls  are  of  boards, 
two  thicknesses,  with  tar  paper  between, 
and  four  feet  high.  The  greenhouse 
connects  with  the  storeroom  on  one  end. 
I  have  no  cellar.  There  are  three  runs 
around  the  house,  of  2-inch  pipe  under 
the  side  and  end  benches.  Is  that 
enough  heating  surface?  W.  M.  T. 

If  you  desire  to  use  steam  you  should 
secure  a  boiler  with  a  rated  capacity  for 
at  least  800  square  feet  of  radiation.  It 
should  be  set  deep  enough  so  that  the 
lowest  return  in  the  house  will  be  at 
least  eighteen  inches  above  the  water  line

results  from  steam  the  house  should  have

TVIN  QTIES. 


Tlie  Market 


Business  last  week  could  have  been  a 
great  deal  better.  The  first  part  of  the 
week  we  had  a  decided  change  in  the 
weather.  The  temperature  dropped  to 
10  degrees  above  zero  and  was  accom- 
panied by  a  cold,  damp  wind  which,  un- 
doubtedly, kept  the  cut  flower  buyers  at 
home. 

Outside  of  funeral  work  there  was 
little  doing  until  the  latter  part  of  the 
week,  when  the  cold  spell  passed  over 
and  trade  instantly  took  a  brace.  There 
was  then  a  decided  demand  for  bulb 
stock  especially.  Carnations  were  also 
quite  active.  One  of  the  dealers  pla- 
carded his  windows,  offering  them  at  35 
cents  per  dozen,  but  none  of  the  other 
dealers  fell  in  line.  The  general  price 
was  75  cents  and  $1  per  dozen.  It  is 
needless  to  say  that  the  35-cent  variety 
was  a  very  inferior  lot. 

The  situation  in  roses  has  not  changed 
to  any  extent.  We  are  still  getting  an 
ample  supply.  The  quality  could  be  im- 
proved upon  with  nearly  all  of  the  grow- 
ers. Valley  and  violets  are  as  good  as 
we  have  ever  had;  the  demand  is  also 
active.  Practically  all  of  the  dealers  are 
carrying  a  small  stock  of  Easter  plants, 
with  the  exception  of  Easter  lilies.  Fine 
specimen  plants  of  azaleas.  Baby  Ram- 
blers and  spiraeas  are  offered,  but  are 
slow  sale  and  it  is  a  little  too  soon  to 
show  them  to  secure  orders  for  Easter. 
The  city  inquiry  for  Easter  stock  is 
light,  while  from  the  country  points  a 
great  many  have  been  received. 

Minneapolis. 

The  Powers  Mercantile  Co.  reports  a 
satisfactory  trade  for  last  week,  the  de- 
mand Saturday  being  especially  strong 
for  medium  priced  carnations  and  roses. 
It  has  also  turned  over  a  great  many  tu- 
lips and  daffodils. 

The  Donaldson  Co.  continues  to  have 
a  heavy  run  on  about  everything  in  cut 
flowers.  Its  prices  are  the  same  as 
asked  by  the  retail  florists  in  general. 

The  few  bright  days  that  we  have  had 
have  brought  a  little  more  competition. 
The  Greek  candy  stores  have  already 
started  to  offer  stock  at  reduced  prices, 
which  takes  some  trade  away  from  the 
smaller  dealers. 

Amundson  &  Kirschner  show  some  at- 
tractive windows  of  bulb  stock  and  car- 
nations. Business,  they  say,  has  been 
good. 

Our  wire  worker,  Mr.  Kusik,  has  gone 
into  the  florists'  supply  line,  under  the 
name  of  Kusik,  Gerstmann  &  Co.  The 
general  impression  is  that  there  is  a  good 
opening  here  and,  if  properly  conducted, 
a  good  trade  can  be  worked  up.

versity. At  the  solicitation  of  W.  H, 
Griffiths,  gardener  of  the  department,  a 
number  of  varieties  of  carnations  were  on 
exhibition.  The  merits  of  these  were 
studied  and  compared  by  students  and 
visitors.  The  extraordinary  improvement 
which  has  taken  place  in  the  commercial 
qualities  of  this  flower  in  recent  years 
was  noted  and  commented  upon. 

Collections  of  blooms  were  received 
from  John  E.  Haines,  Bethlehem,  Pa., 
who  forwarded  an  exceedingly  instructive 
and  interesting  group,  largely  of  his  own 
origination. 

The  F.  E.  Pierson  Co.,  Tarrytown, 
N.  Y.,  showed  Winsor,  Melody,  Helen 
M.  Gould,  White  Enchantress,  Rose-pink 
Enchantress  and  Eed  Lawson.  The  in- 
teresting feature  about  this  exhibit  is 
that  Gould,  White  Enchantress  and  Rose- 
pink  Enchantress  are  all  sports  from  the 
original  Enchantress.  The  F.  R.  Pierson 
Co.  I'egard  these  as  among  the  leading 
commercial  varieties  which  they  grow. 

Peter  Fisher,  Ellis,  Mass.,  showed  a 
fine  vase  of  Beacon. 

The  Cottage  Gardens  Co.,  Queens, - 
L.  I.,  presented  the  display  with  a  col- 
lection of  some  fifteen  seedlings,  show- 
ing a  great  variety  of  color  and  form, 
and  illustrating  in  a  general  way  the  pos- 
sibilities of  careful  breeding  when  ap- 
plied to  the  carnation.  Many  of  the 
seedlings  were  of  high  merit. 

The  Chicago  Carnation  Co.,  Joliet,  HI., 
provided  a  striking  vase  of  that  hand- 
some carnation.  Aristocrat.  This  variety 
illustrated  in  splendid  fashion  the  best 
points  of  a  good  commercial  flower.  For 
itself,  it  attracted  much  attention  from 
visitors.  ^      ^, 

The  United  States  Cut  Flower  Co.,  El- 
mira,  N.  Y.,  showed  a  general  collection, 
prominent  among  which  were  Enchant- 
ress, Red  Lawson  and  White  Lawson,  as 
well  as  the  original  Lawson,  Bountiful, 
Fred  Burki,  Vesper  and  Mrs.  M.  A.  Pat- 
ten. 

It  is  needless  to  say  that  the  exhibit 
provided  both  instruction  and  inspira- 
tion to  the  large  group  of  students  who 
had  the  privilege  of  examining  and  study- 
ing it. 

Providence,  R.  I.— The  Hall  &  Lyon 
Co.  driig  store  now  has  a  violet  sale  each 
Saturday,  using  30,000  to  50,000  a  week. 
They  are  sold  in  bunches  of  twenty-five 
at  19  cents  a  bunch  and  attract  many 
people  who  would  not  otherwise  visit  the 
store.

..ANNOUNCEMENT.. 


The  King  Construction  Company,  of  Nortli  Tonawanda,  N.Y.,  and  Toronto, 
Ont«9  in  response  to  numerous  inquiries  by  mail,  states  that  the  trussed  roof  greenhouses  which  collapsed 
at  Mr.  Farenwald's  place  near  Philadelphia  were  not  of  the  King  Construction  design  or  construction. 
Moreover  a  number  of  King  houses  in  the  same  neighborhood  passed  through  the  same  weather  conditions 
without  any  damage  whatever.  Also  the  King  Construction  Company  has  just  received  an  order  for  two 
trussed  roof  greenhouses,  each  500  feet  long  and  28  feet  wide,  which  are  to  be  built  for  Mr.  Victor  Groshens 
on  his  place  which  is  only  a  couple  of  blocks  from  Mr.  Farenwald's  place.  Owing  to  having  introduced 
the  trussed  method  of  greenhouse  construction  and  to  having  been  identified  with  it  for  so  long,  the  King 
Construction  Company  finds  it  necessary  to  make  this  announcement  as  a  matter  of  self-protection.

Tt  Clj       TT  C     U^C  our  Interchangeable 

Clamp  Column  Fittings  in  that  Giant  Arch  we  have 
been  telling  you  about  lately.  See  how  the  Purlin  is 
secured  to  the  Gable  Bar  by  that  Purlin  Clamp — how 
every  Sashbar  is  firmly  fastened  to  the  Purlin  by  the 
Heavy  Purlin  Clasp — that  the  Column  Fittings  are 
split  and  tightened  together  by  a  single  strong  bolt, 
making  them  easily  adjustable.  The  whole  thing  is 
a  most  convincing  argument  of  the  strength  and 
neatness  of  this  combination  of  1%  inches  Purlin, 
Column  and  Cross  Tie,  forming  a  light  but  absolutely 
rigid  Giant  Arch  running  the  entire  length  of  your 
house.  It  is  not  only  a  matter  of  strength  but  a 
mighty  lot  of  time  saved  in  erecting,  and  when  used 
with  our  Cast-Iron  Foot  Pieces,  makes  a  certainty  of 
perfect  and  easy  line-up  of  your  roof. 

It's  this  way— we  sell  you  the  house  complete 
or  any  fitting  or  part  of  It  you  want— out  what- 
ever you  do.  use  these  Column  Fittings  and  have 
the  Olant  Arch,  then  you  can  be  sure  your  house 
won't  spread.    Write  for  prices. 

FOR  SALE:    every   part   or   any  parts 
for  good  greenhouses.

NO  NATIONAL  FLOWER  SHOW. 

There  will  be  no  national  flower  show 
at  Chicago  in  November,  1908.  The  ex- 
ecutive board  of  the  Society  of  American 
Florists  in  session  at  Philadelphia  March 
11  and  12  came  to  the  conclusion  that 
the  year  of  the  national  election  would 
not  be  a  propitious  time  to  try  to  arouse 
national  interest  in  flowers  and  voted 
down  the  project  in  spite  of  the  $7,000 
guarantee  fund  which  had  been  raised. 

Those  present  at  the  Hotel  Walton,  in 
addition  to  the  Philadelphians,  were: 
President  W.  J.  Stewart,  Boston;  Secre- 
tary P.  J.  Hauswirth,  Chicago  ;rthe  fol- 
lowing directors,  W.  H.  Elliott,  Brighton, 
Mass.;  Sam  Murray,  Kansas  City;  Theo. 
Wirth,    Minneapolis;    F.    H.    Traendly, 


New  York;  J.  K.  M.  L.  Farquhar,  Bos- 
ton; ex-president  W.  F.  Kasting,  Buf- 
falo; Patrick  Welsh,  Boston;  G.  X. 
Amhryn,  New  Haven,  Conn.;  Felix 
Mense,  Glen  Cove,  N.  Y. 

Instead  of  a  November  show  a  spring 
exhibition  was  taken  under  considera- 
tion. 

Sentiment  was  shown  to  be  strongly 
in  favor  of  continuing  the  summer  meet- 
ings of  the  S.  A.  F.  as  in  previous  years. 

Horticultural  hall  was  selected  for  the 
trade  exhibition  at  the  convention  at 
Philadelphia  next  August  and  the  ftroad 
street  theater  for  the  meetings  of  the 
society.  David  Rust  was  seldctcSd  to  be 
superintendent  of  the  trade  exhibition. 
A  program  was  partially  prepared.

THE  WASHINGTON  MEETING. 

The  annual  convention  and  exhibition 
of  the  American  Eose  Society  is  on  this 
week  in  connection  with  the  spring  show 
of  the  Florists'  Club  of  Washington,  D. 
C.  The  exhibition  is  held  in  Washington 
Light  Infantry  hall  and  is  one  of  the 
best  ever  staged  by  the  society.  Much 
active  work  has  been  done  during  the 
year,  with  the  result  that  the  premium 
list  contained  more  special  offers  of  valu- 
able trophies  than  ever  in  the  history  of 
the  society's  many  successful  exhibi- 
tions. The  quality  of  the  exhibits  is  of 
the  usual  high  character,  and  the  rose  ex- 
hibits are  supplemented  by  the  spring 
plants  shown  for  the  premiums  offered 
by  the  local  Florists'  Club.  Altogether 
it  makes  an  exhibition  of  which  those 
responsible  for  its  being  have  reason  to 
be  proud. 

The  judges  of  the  exhibition  were:  P. 
J.  Hauswirth,  Chicago;  W.  F.  Kasting, 
Buffalo,  and  Eobert  Craig,  Philadelphia. 
The  plan  was  to  have  their  work  com- 
pleted at  the  time  the  show  was  opened 
to  the  public  at  6  p.  m.  on  Wednesday, 
March  13. 

The  first  of  the  business  sessions  was 
called  to  order  Wednesday  evening  with 
a  large  attendance  of  members,  includ- 
ing both  those  in  the  trade  and  many 
private  gardeners.  President  Eobert 
Simpson  delivered  his  address,  which 
will  be  found  in  full  in  this  issue.  Sec- 
retary Hammond  reported  on  the  suc- 
cessful year's  work.  The  treasurer's 
report  also  was  presented.  The  first  of 
the  papers  to  be  read  was  that  of  E.  G. 
Hill.  The  titles  of  the  papers  and  the 
essayists  are  as  follows: 

"The  Hybridization  of  Eoses,  the 
Ideals  Before  the  Worker,  and  the  Means 
Used  to  Work  Up  to  Those  Ideals,"  by 
E.  Gurney  Hill,  Eichmond,  Ind. ;  "Ever- 
Blooming  Eoses  for  the  Garden:  What 
to  Grow  and  How  to  Grow  Them,"  by 
Theodore  Wirth,  superintendent  of  parks, 
Minneapolis,  Minn.;  "Climbing  and 
Trailing  Eoses  in  the  Hardy  Eose  Gar- 
den," by  M.  H.  Walsh,  Woods  Hole, 
Mass. 

The  invitation  to  Chicago  for  1908  is 
almost  certain  to  be  accepted. 


Trcastirer's  Report. 

The  report  of  Treasurer  Harry  O.  May 
showed  cash  receipts  in  the  year  as 
$1,235.91;  disbursements,  $911;  balance

PRESIDENT  SIMPSON'S  ADDRESS. 

[Delivered  before  the  annual  convention  of 
the  American  Rose  Society,  Washington,  D.  C, 
March  13,  1907.] 

We  meet  today  in  the  capital  city  of 
our  country  as  guests  of  the  Washing- 
ton Florists'  Club.  Many  of  us  are 
growers,  and  I  am  sure  that  all  of  us 
are  lovers  of  the  rose.  Some  of  you  have 
come  to  Washington  to  place  on  exhibi- 
tion your  beautiful  flowers,  some  of  you 
have  come  chiefly  it  may  be  to  admire 
the  wonderful  productions  of  others,  but 
a  goodly  number  of  you,  I  trust,  are  here 
to  discuss  with  us  problems  in  rose  grow- 
ing and  problems  that  confront  our  rose 
society.  In  any  event  I  am  sure  that 
no  one  will  say  that  mercenary  motives 
have  drawn  you,  some  from  the  east, 
some  from  the  west,  some  from  the  south, 
and  others  from  the  north,  at  consider- 
able expense  of  time  and  money  at  this 
busy  season  of  the  year  to  attend  this 
meeting;  it  is  to  gratify  your  love  for 
the  beautiful  in  nature,  and  to  signify 
your  willingness  to  do  your  part  towards 
making  this  earth  more  beautiful  and 
attractive  that  you  are  here  today. 

I  trust  that  our  meeting  may  be  help- 
ful and  encouraging  to  every  grower  of 
the  rose,  that  we  all  as  a  result  may  have 
higher  ideals,  and  go  home  more  than 
ever  in  love  with  our  business  and  call- 
ing and  that  this  shall  prove  to  be  an 
epoch-making  meeting  of  the  rose  society. 

Preparations  for  the  Meeting;.

The  Weekly  Florists*  Review. 


March  14,  1907. 


to  hold  the  exhibition  and  annual  meet- 
ing of  1907  was  left  in  the  hands  of 
the  executive  committee,  after  a  discus- 
sion, however,  which  showed  plainly  that 
the  sentiment  of  the  meeting  was  in 
favor  of  going  to  some  city  in  the  west, 
should  the  way  be  open  for  us,  and 
should  such  a  course  seem  to  be  for  the 
best  interests  of  the  society.  The  ex- 
ecutive committee  left  the  mattes  open 
until  July,  thus  giving  every  section  of 
the  country  an  equal  chance  to  compete 
for  the  privilege  of  having  the  rose  ex- 
hibition. 

The  society  did  not  receive  any  invi- 
tation from  the  west;  but  it  did  have  a 
very  hearty  and  pressing  invitation  from 
tho  Washington  Florists'  Club,  which 
sent  its  president  to  New  York  to  back 
up  its  formal  written  invitation. 

The  president,  Mr.  Bisset,  assured  us 
that  "Washington  and  its  people  would 
see  that  the  local  detail  work  of  the  ex- 
hibition was  taken  care  of  properly  and 
that  an  exhibition  there  would  be  a  suc- 
cess financially.  Whether  they  have  kept 
their  promise  you  will  see  for  yourselves; 

There  is  a  great  amount  of  detail  work 
to  be  done  in  arranging  for  an  exhibition 
of  this  kind,  particularly  when  it  is  not 
held  in  connection  with  some  regularly 
organized  horticultural  society  where 
men  have  been  trained  for  the  work,  and 
where  all  the  facilities  for  the  holding 
of  exhibitions  are  at  hand;  more,  per- 
haps, than  many  of  you  realize;  and  I 
wish  at  this  time  to  express  my  appre- 
ciation of  the  hearty  enthusiasm  with 
which  the  ofl5cers  and  local  members  of 
the  executive  committee  have  entered  into 
this  work,  and  have  done  willingly  and 
gladly,  whatever  was  in  their  power  to 
do.  Several  meetings  have  been  held  in 
the  city  of  New  York,  and  some  of  the 
oflBcers  have  not  failed  to  attend  a  single 
meeting.  If  the  exhibition  of  1907  shall 
prove  to  be  equal  in  point  of  interest  and 
enthusiasm  to  that  of  1906  much  of  the 
credit  is  due  to  the  push  and  energy  and 
painstaking  work  of  our  secretary  and 
the  enthusiasm  of  our  young  treasurer. 

The  position  of  secretary  of  the  Amer- 
ican Pcae  Society  is  no  sinecure  I  assure 
you  if  the  incumbent  tries  to  do  faith- 
fully the  work  that  he  finds  to  do,  and 
just  in  proportion  to  the  quality  of  the 
man  in  office  will  depend  how  much  of 
the  work  shall  be  done,  or  how  much 
shall  be  left  undone.  For  good  work  the 
salary  is  totally  inadequate,  but  in  the 
present  state  of  our  treasury  I  dare  not 
ask  for  an  increase.  The  work  of  our 
present  secretary  during  the  last  nine 
months  will  meet  with  your  entire  ap- 
proval, I  am  sure. 

PUn  and  Scope  of  Meeting. 

As  the  program  for  this  meeting  indi- 
cates, we  have  arranged  for  the  reading 
of  papers  on  interesting  subjects  by  men 
eminently  qualified  to  talk  on  the  sub- 
jects treated,  and  I  trust  we  may  give 
to  them  our  undivided  attention  during 
the  delivery  of  the  same,  and  in  the  dis- 
cussions that  shall  follow  we  may  be  able 
to  give  out  and  gather  in  a  vast  store  of 
useful  information.  The  society  is  to  be 
congratulated  on  the  personnel  of  its  es- 
sayists. 

It  has  been  arranged  that  gentlemen 
of  large  experience  and  observation  shall 
start  discussions  on  matters  of  vital  in- 
terest to  the  society;  that  of  increased 
membership,  and  new  work  that  may  be 
done  by  the  society  as  an  organization 
for  its  members  and  the  public.  I  do 
not  wish  to  anticipate  or  forestall  what 


Robert  Simpson. 


these  gentleman  may  advise,  as  I  hope 
for  a  very  full  discussion  when,  in  the 
order  of  business,  these  subjects  are 
taken  up;  however,  in  this  connection  I 
may  be  permitted,  perhaps,  to  make  a 
few  observations,  and  possibly  offer  a 
few  suggestions. 

Suggestions  for  Enlargement. 

Much  good  work  might  be  done  by  the 
society  if  we  had  at  command  funds  with 
which  to  do  the  work;  much  work  should 
be  done  that  has  as  yet  not  been  even 
attempted.  For  instance,  a  committee  of 
half  a  dozen  men,  representing  different 
sections  of  the  country  and  competient  to 
deal  with  the  peculiar  climatic  and  other 
conditions  of  that  particular  section, 
might,  in  conjunction  with  the  secretary, 
prepare  a  list  of  roses  with  general  cul- 
tural directions,  suitable  to  the  condi- 
tions prevailing  in  those  various  sections, 
that  would  be  worth  much  more  to  rose 
lovers  than  the  annual  membership  fee. 
This  committee  could  also  advise  as  to 
the  best  roses  to  purchase,  Dutch, 
French,  English,  home-grown  budded,  or 
own  root  plants,  department  store  stock, 
or  stock  direct  from  nursery.  There  is 
a  vast  amount  of  ignorance  among  the 
general  public  along  these  lines,  and  their 
ignorance  is  frequently  taken  advantage 
of  by  unscrupulous  dealers. 

What  the  society  can  offer  its  pros- 
pective members  as  an  inducement  to 
membership  will  no  doubt  be  a  controll- 
ing factor  in  seeking  to  enlarge  that 
membership;  on  the  other  hand,  larger 
resources,  as  a  result  of  larger  member- 


ship, will  permit   the   society   to  under- 
take greater  things. 

If  the  American  Rose  Society  should 
identify  itself  with  the  various  horticul- 
tural societies  of  the  country  to  the  ex- 
tent of  offering  its  silver  medal  once  a 
year  for  collections  of  cut  roses,  roses 
in  pots,  etc.,  to  be  judged  according  to 
the  scale  of  the  Rose  Society,  it  would 
add  much  interest  to  the  exhibitions  and 
our  society  would  gather  strength  ana 
prestige  thereby. 

If  the  financial  resources  of  the  so- 
ciety were  adequate,  I  would  favor  the 
holding  of  an  exhibition  in  June,  as  well 
as  March,  so  that  the  rose-loving  public 
could  see  and  become  acquainted  with  the 
beautiful  outdoor  roses  that  we  oannot 
place  before  them  in  March,  such  as 
Frau  Karl  Druschki,  Baroness  Rothschild, 
Mrs.  John  Laing,  etc.  The  June  exhibi- 
tion would  be  more  popular,  more  inter- 
esting and  do  more  to  educate  the  masses 
in  rose  culture  than  it  is  possible  to  do 
with  an  exhibition  of  indoor  roses  in 
March. 

If  the  catalogue  men  of  the  country — 
we  have  some  of  the  gentlemen  here  to- 
day— could  be  induced  to  give  a  page  of 
their  catalogues  each  year  to  a  statement 
of  the  aims  and  purposes  of  the  Rose 
Society  and  advocate  membership  in  it 
to  their  customers,  great  possibilities 
would  immediately  loom  up  before  the 
society. 

It  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that  our 
membership  could  be  multiplied  several 
times  within  a  year  if  all  present  would 
resolve  to  make  a  point  to  interest  their

Rule  Governing  Novelties. 

The  society  offers  gold  and  silver 
medals  at  its  exhibitions  for  new  varie- 
ties, the  object  in  offering  these  being  to 
encourage  the  production  of  novelties  of 
sterling  merit;  but  in  ruling  that  a  nov- 
elty must  score  at  least  ninety-five  points 
to  win  the  gold  medal  we  practically 
make  it  impossible  to  win  it  at  all. 

Very  few  judges  would  be  willing  to 
say  that  a  flower  was  perfect  in  form,  in 
color,  in  fragrance  or  distinctiveness  or, 
in  fact,  in  any  one  particular,  yet  a 
variety  with  as  many  good  points  as 
Liberty  or  Killarney  or  Eichmond  should 
have  a  chance  to  win  the  gold  medal  of 
the  society.  .  We  should  of  course  main- 
tain a  high  standard  in  the  giving  of 
such  awards,  but  we  should  at  the  same 
time  avoid  exacting  impossible  condi> 
tions. 

I  ask  you  to  consider  whether  gr  not 
the  rule  governing  the  judging  of  novel- 
ties needs  to  be  revised. 

The  Permanent  Fund. 

At  the  1906  meeting  you  will  remem- 
ber that  much  time  was  taken  up  dis- 
cussing the  desirability  and  practicabil- 
ity of  establishing  a  permanent  fund,  of 
considerable  size,  for  the  uses  of  the 
society  j  all  agreed  that  it  was  desirable, 
but  the  meeting  could  not  agree  on  any 
particular  plan  of  action.  We  have  to- 
day in  America  many  men,  so  enriched 
with  this  world's  goods,  that  their  chief 
concern  in  life  is  to  find  the  best  way 
to  spend  this  vast  accumulation  of 
wealth  that  it  may  accomplish  the  great- 
est amount  of  good  for  the  largest  num- 
ber of  people. 

Art,  education,  science,  religion,  hu- 
manitarianism,  have  each  received  their 
millions  to  aid  in  prosecuting  the  work 
of  blessing  mankind  along  their  particu- 
lar lines.  It  is  a  good  thing  to  pay  out 
$100,000  for  a  fine  painting  and  present 
it  to  a  museum  of  art,  where  it  can  be 
seen  and  admired  and  furnish  inspiration 
to  thousands  of  people.  It  is  noble  to 
endow  our  institutions  of  learning  so  that 
our  youth  may  have  the  privileges  of 
higher  education.  It  is  still  better  to 
provide  the  means  for  caring  for  the 
sick,  the  suffering,  the  aged  and  the 
homeless;  but  it  is  a  question  if,  in  es- 
tablishing a  fund  of  ample  proportions 
out  of  which  this  society  might  dis- 
seminate information  and  furnish  the  in- 
spiration which  would  result  in  the  beau- 
tifying of  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
homes  all  over  our  land,  and  bringing 
joy  and  brightness  into  the  hearts  and 
lives  of  still  larger  numbers  of  our  peo- 
ple, the  man  of  means  would  not  be 
choosing  the  very  best  way,  from  an 
artistic,  educational,  humanitarian  or 
sociological  point  of  view,  of  investing 
the  wealth  which  a  kind  Providence 
has  placed  in  his  hands  and  made  him 
the  steward  and  custodian.  I  am  suffi- 
ciently optimistic  to  think  that  if  a  com- 
mittee composed  of  the  right  men  should 
take  hold  of  this  matter  and  present  it 
properly  to  men  of  large  means  and 
philanthropic  tendencies,  that  a  fund 
could  be  established,  permanent  in  char- 
acter, the  income  of  which  only  could  be 
used  by  the  society. 

Gentlemen,  it  rests  with  you  to  take 
such  action  on  this  and  other  matters  as

I  trust  your  stay  in  the  city  of  Wash-

able. 


ORDER  AND  CLEANLINESS. 

Having  recently  had  occasion  to  visit 
a  number  of  greenhouse  establishments, 
the  writer  has  been  impressed  with  the 
fact  that  the  order  and  cleanliness  which 
obtain  in  greenhouses  are  almost  al- 
ways in  direct  proportion  to  the  pros- 
perity of  the  establishment.  It  does  not 
follow  that  the  cleanliness  is  the  result 
of  prosperity,  but  that  prosperity  is  the 
result  of  cleanliness. 

When  a  man  keeps  his  greenhouse  clean 
and  neat  he  also  keeps  the  stock  grow- 
ing in  it  in  the  same  condition.  The 
result  is  that  it  is  better  stock  than  is 
grown  in  a  disorderly  establii^hment.  It 
sells  quicker  and  it  brings  a  better  price. 
You  would  not  look  for  fine  plants  in  a 
slovenly  establishment.  It  is  an  old  say- 
ing that  the  clothes  make  the  man.  By 
the  same  token,  order  makes  the  success- 
ful business  man. 

They  say  that  cleanliness  is  next  to 
godliness.  There  certainly  is  no  other 
way  in  which  we  may  so  easily  approach 
godliness.  It  costs  little  to  be  clean. 
It  takes  only  a  moment  to  throw  the  rub- 
bish where  it  belongs,  instead  of  under 
the  benches.  Five  minutes  once  a  week 
will  rake  the  gravel  or  ashes  beneath  the 
bench  and  habit  quickly  will  cause  a 
careful  man  to  keep  his  pot  plants 
straightly  aligned.

THE  ROSE  GROWER'S  IDEAL. 

[A  paper  by  E.  G.  Hill,  of  Ulchmond,  Ind.. 
read  before  the  annual  convention  of  the  Amer- 
ican Rose  Society  at  Washington,  D.  C,  March 
13,   1907.] 

Your  president  and  executive  commit- 
tee have  suggested  as  a  subject  for  my 
paper,  *  *  The  Advisability  of  Having 
an  Ideal  in  Mind  when  Attempcing  to 
Eaise  New  and  Improved  Varieties  of 
Roses. ' ' 

It  would  have  been  better  if  you  had 
selected  some  one  to  prepare  this  paper 
who  has  had  a  broader  and  more  ex- 
tended experience  bearing  upon  this  par- 
ticular line  of  work  than  myself.  It 
is  a  subject  full  of  interest,  of  mystery 
and  of  elusive  leadings,  and  of  which 
I  am  free  to  confess  I  have  little  exact 
knowledge.  The  more  I  have  tried  to 
inquire  into  the  laws  governing  cross 
fertilization,  the  more  surprised  I  have 
been  at  the  very  little  tangible  knowl- 
edge possessed  by  plant  growers,  for  it 
would  seem  that  after  generations  of 
attempts  at  crossing  we  should  find 
much  more  accurate  information  at  hand, 
and,  at  least,  a  few  formulas  which 
might  be  followed  with  some  certfiinty. 

These,  however,  are  not  yet  at  hand, 
but  that  is  no  occasion  for  discourage- 
ment, for  of  one  thing  I  am  convinced, 
there  are  underlying  laws  which  guide 
to  certain  results,  and  while  at  present 
we  are  only  groping  toward  them  in 
the  dark,  patient  persistence  will  finally 
give  us  our  working  theorem  which  will 
prevent  the  present  waste  of  utterly 
haphazard  effort,  and  reduce  it  to  a 
science  and  an  art  at  least  approaching 
the  exact.  Nature  does  finally  reward 
the  painstaking  investigator  and  she  does 
reveal    enough    concerning    her    manners

and  methods  to  give  incentive  to   those 
who  would  know  her  better. 

Have  an  Ideal. 

I  should  say,  by  all  means  have  an 
ideal  in  mind  when  attempting  the  pro- 
duction of  a  new  variety  of  rose  through 
the  medium  of  cross-fertilization;  ii; 
fact,  the  ideal  is  persistently  forced  upon 
the  working  florist  by  the  very  short- 
comings of  his  everyday  favorites.  The 
amateur  may  please  his  fancy  and  de- 
light himself  with  the  odd  and  curious 
results  of  haphazard  work,  and  there 
is  much  pure  pleasure  to  be  derived  from 
it;  bpt  the  florist,  with  all  his  love  and 
reverence  for  the  beautiful  in  nature, 
has  a  sterner  purpose  in  view.  The  rose 
has  descended  to  commercialism;  the 
rose  grower  must  raise  it  to  a  pinnacle 
of  perfection,  where  it  can  dominate  its 
special  line  of  commerce,  without  apol- 
ogy for  any  weakness.  And  it  must  be 
confessed  at  the  present  time  that  the 
usefulness  and  the  profit  of  nearly  every 
variety  of  commercial  rose  is  greatly 
impaired  by  some  serious  drawback  to 
its  reliability.  To  eradicate  Hhese  faults 
in  thJB  parent  is  impossible ; '  to  produce 
a  seedling  that  shall  retain  the  good 
points  of  the  parent  with  the  weakness 


varieties,  and  only  after  a  good  lapse 
of  time  hiave  results  been  forthcoming. 
The  purpose  in  view  was  first  to  secure 
a  \igorous  constitution  in  the  progeny; 
that  must  always  be  first.  Seedlings 
showing  exceptional  vigor  have  again 
been  bred  with.  Liberty,  Richmond, 
American  Beauty, ••Quffen  of  Edgely  and 
several  of  the  best  "♦hybrid  perpetuals. 
My  aim  has  been  in  this  particular  line 
of  work  to  secure  a  red  rose  that  would 
flower  freely  under  glass  in  winter.  Fur- 
thering this  idea  of  improving  the  red 
varieties,  pollen  was  taken  from  Amer- 
ican Beauty  and  ovetv  300  crosses  were 
successfully  made  laSt  year,  1906,  and 
these  latest  seedlings  *are  now  nice  little 
plants  growing  vigorously  in  their  lit- 
tle pots.  My  hope  in  thus  using  Amer- 
ican Beauty  pollen  is  to  secure,  if  pos- 
sible, a  long-stemmed,  free-blooming  win- 
ter-forcing variety.  A  previous  effort  in 
this  line  has  given  us  a  rose  superior 
in  color  and  size  to  American  Beauty, 
with  the  additional  advantage  of  produc- 
ing flowers  as  freely  as  Richmond  or 
Bridesmaid.  -  *<        . 

Quite  a  separate  line  of  crossing  has 
been  to  improve  upon  the  size  of  Rosa- 
lind Orr  English  while  retaining  its  gen- 
eral  color   scheme.     With   this   in   view,

eliminated  is  well  worth  working  for. 
This,  then,  forms  an  ideal;  definiteness 
of  purpose  in  any  line  of  activity  is  es- 
sential to  results,  and  quite  as  important 
:  1  the  ideal  is  the  working  plan  which 
must  be  formulated  to  attain  the  end 
in  view. 

Examples  of  an  Ideal. 

Some  years  ago  I  began  working  on 
red  roses,  hoping  to  secure  something 
better  than  Meteor,  Teplitz  and  Litta, 
all  fine  in  their  way,  though  stubborn 
material  in  the  hands  of  the  rose  forcer. 
My   initial   work   was  begun  with   these . 


hundreds  of  crosses  were  made  with 
pollen  taken  from  Richmond,  Queen  of 
,  Edgely,  American  Beauty  and  Paul  Ney- 
ron  during  the  season  of  1905.  The 
progeny  from  these  have  mostly  flpw- 
eied,  with  a  result  that  some  thirty  have 
been  retained  for  a  second  year's  trial. 
Two  out  of  the  thirty  selected  are  of 
unusual  promise.  One  of  these  is 
American  Beauty  x  Rosalind  Orr  English 
and  is  specially  notable  for  its  stiff,  long 
stem  and  large  size.  The  other  cross  is 
Richmond  x  Rosalind  Orr  English,  which 
is  intermediate  in  color  between  its  two 
parents,  with   the    additional    merit  of 


possessing  double  the  number  of  petals 
that  either  of  its  parents  possess.  The 
above  two  instances  are  cited  to  show 
concentrated  effort  on  a  given  line  in  a 
multiplicity  of  crosses.  I  give  the  above 
in  detail  to  illustrate  my  conviction  of 
having  an  ideal  in  mind  when  working 
for  a  given  end.  Perhaps  some  day  we 
will  find  a  means  to  the  end  desired  by 
simply  making  one  direct  cross. 

I  do  not  know  to  a  certainty,  yet  I 
believe  that  Joseph  Pernet,  of  Lyons^ 
has  followed  out  a  similar  certain  line 
in  his  raising  of  new  varieties.  I  judge 
this  by  the  similarity  in  growth,  foliage 
and  the  general  build  of  the  flowers  in 
his  originations.  Take  Pres.  Carnot  and 
Antoine  Rivoire;  note  their  general  char- 
acteristics and  I  think  it  is  easy  to  de- 
tect a  similarity  of  lineage  running  on 
down  through  his  Madam  Rivary,  Le 
Progress,  Joseph  Hill,  Mme.  Jenny  Gille- 
mot,  Mme.  Philip  Rivoire,  Mme.  Melanie 
Soupert  and  Baronne  de  Sinety,  and 
three  of  his  very  latest  introductions, 
Mrs.  Aaron  Ward,  Mme.  de  Luze  and 
Renee  Wilmart  Urban  show  the  same 
general  characteristics.  It  would  be  in- 
teresting to  know  if  M.  Pernet  had  been 
following  out  Mendel's  theory  in  his 
breeding  of  roses.  Not  all  his  produc- 
tions are  allied  to  the  varieties  men- 
tioned above,  for  his  Etoile  de  France, 
Marquise  Litta,  Soliel  d'Or  and  Laurent 
Carle  are  quite  distinct  from  the  type 
cited  above. 

Transmission  of  Visor. 

If  the  law  of  interbreeding  be  cor- 
rect, gathering  in  only  pollen  from 
closely  related  varieties,  then  the  law  of 
heredity  as  applied  to  the  animal  king- 
dom would  not  hold  good  in  the  vege- 
table family.  My  suggestion  would  be 
to  follow  both  lines  of  work,  interbreed- 
ing and  promiscuous  breeding,  if  I  may 
thus  put  it,  but  always  have  in  mind  the 
design  of  a  given  improvement. 

Of  laje  my  one  thought  has  been  to 
select  the  most  vigorous  grower  for  the 
mother  plant,  for  without  health,  vigor 
and  a  good  constitution  the  Anest  new 
rose  is  a  failure.  I  am  thoroughly  con- 
vinced by  observation  and  experience 
that  the  mother  plant  has  the  most  to 
do  in  giving  health,  vitality  and  consti- 
tution to  the  offspring.  This  being  the 
case,  we  can  see  at  a  glance  how  impor- 
tant it  is  to  select  only  the  very  strong- 
est among  the  everblooming  varieties  to 
serve  as  the  female  parent.  We  should 
select  the  pollen  from  those  varieties 
which  have  pronounced  qualities  in  the 
way  of  color,  stem,  length  of  bud  and 
fragrance.  If  these  qualities  are  present 
in  the  male  you  may  hope  that  they  will 
have  an  influence  upon  your  crosses. 

With  the  increased  vigor  possessed  by 
many  of  the  later  productions  in  tea  and 
hybrid  tea  roses,  such  as  Betty,  Phari- 
saer,  Killarney,  Kate  Moulton,  and 
others  of  like  vigor,  it  need  not  be  many 
years  before  a  race  bred  from  such 
parents  will  give  greatly  increased  vigor 
over  present  existing  varieties,  and  with 
this  increased  strength  of  growth  great 
good  will  come  to  the  grower. 

The  infusion  of  hybrid  perpetual  blood 
will  also  have  a  marked  tendency  to  in- 
crease the  vigor  and  growth  of  seedling 
roses,  and,  by  using  the  everbloomers 
for  the  seed  bearer,  freedom  of  bloom 
will  in  large  measure  be  preserved.  It 
ought  not  to  be  many  years  until  the 
present  non-flowering  hybrid  perpetual 
roses  are  superseded  by  a  race  equally  as 
virile    but    which    will    give    continuous

that  will  grow  and  bloom  as  do  most  of 
the  present  standard  varieties  in  Eng- 
land, on  the  Pacific  coast  and  in  many 
of  our  southern  states;  but  here  in  the 
north  only  a  pitifully  small  number  can 
be  depended  upon.  And  right  here  is  a 
wide  field  for  the  hybridist  to  enter.  A 
good,  reliable,  everblooming  garden  rose 
will  give  pleasure  and  delight  to  mil- 
lions of  American  citizens.  It  is  to  be 
hoped  that  many  rose  lovers  may  enter 
this  sadly  neglected  field.  My  ideas  on 
this  line  of  the  subject  were  given  in  a 
paper  read  before  the  S.  A.  F.  at  its 
annual  meeting  at  St.  Louis,  1905. 

This  line  of  work  might  have  received 
a  fine  stimulus  if  the  trustees  of  the 
Carnegie  fund  had  been  empowered  to 
set  aside  certain  funds  to  be  awarded 
for  meritorious  new  garden  roses.  The 
field  is  not  inviting  to  one  who  must 
earn  a  maintenance,  but  if  a  prize  or  a 
money  consideration  could  be  offered 
of  suflScient  size  it  would  stimulate  ef- 
forts in  this  direction.

bloom.  If  we  get  vigor  of  growth  with 
certainty  of  bud,  flowers  on  the  ends  of 
long  straight  stems,  that  will  be  the  type 
that  shall  give  us  larger  and  finer  flowers 
for  our  winter  forcing  as  well  as  better 
varieties  for  our  gardens. 

I  know  that  you  will  say  that  predic- 
tions of  this  sort  are  easy  to  make;  but 
kindly  indulge  me  a  little;  let  us  use  any 
means  to  impress  upon  the  minds  of 
those  just  taking  up  this  work  that  con- 
stitution is  the  foundation  upon  which 
all  effort  must  proceed. 

Skilled  Workmen  at  Work. 

A  great  number  of  skilled  and  prac- 
ticed workmen  are  enthusiastically  bend- 
ing their  best  energies  toward  improving 
the  rose  and  we  are  surely  making  a 
steady  advance  in  the  right  direction 
under  such  men  as  the  Dicksons,  the 
Pauls,  the  Souperts,  Pernet  and  others 
in  France,  and  Peter  Lambert  and  his 
colleagues  in  Germany,  together  with 
CJook,  Walsh  and  others  in  this  country; 
we  have  a  right  to  expect  even  better 
results  than  have  yet  been  obtained. 

Even  with  the  combined  efforts  put 
forth  by  the  rosarians  in  this  *id  other 
countries,  progress  will  a,ppear  slow  to 
the  impatient  workers  in  our  ranks; 
trifling  advance  will  be  noted,  but  better 
types  and  varieties  will  surely  gladden 
our  eyes  and  hearts,  for  nature  has  been 
kind  in  the  past,  both  in  bud-variation 
and  by  cross-fertilization  and  the  com- 
ing years  will  be  no  less  fruitful  than 
the  past.  We  shall  improve  upon  Mal- 
niaison,  Marechal  Niel,  Catherine  Mer- 
met,  Bride,  Perle  des  Jardins,  Kaiserin 
Augusta  Victoria,  American  Beauty, 
Frau  Karl  Druschki,  Liberty  and  the 
two  Cochets,  or,  at  least,  she  will  reward 
us  with  varieties  more  readily  amenable 
to  our  twentieth  century  requirements, 
which  are  stringent  in  the  extreme. 

By  all  means  let  us  study  Mendel  and 
his  theory,  note  the  deductions  of  De 
Vries,  and  gather  all  the  information 
possible  from  whatever  source  it  can  be 
had,  remembering  that  nature's  working 
theorems  are  to  be  discovered  only  by 
the  painstaking  application  of  the  knowl- 


edge at  hand,  and  that  no  amount  of 
speculative  theory  will  take  the  place  of 
intelligent  persistent  experiment  person- 
ally conducted. 

Let  no  one  think  for  a  moment  that 
good  results  may  not  be  obtained  by  the 
simple  direct  crossing  of  two  varieties 
of  roses,  for  such  is  quite  possible  with- 
out interbreeding.  Eichmond  was  ob- 
tained by  using  pollen  from  Liberty 
upon  Lady  Battersea,  but  it  was  the  one 
valuable  result  out  of  a  very  large  num- 
ber of  the  same  cross,  so  that  we  may 
say  there  is  a  chance  of  a  good  return, 
though  it  is  not  probable  from  this  pro- 
cedure. 

I  have  carefully  avoided  the  use  of 
any  scientific  or  technical  terms  and  have 
only  tried  to  embody  in  this  very  imper- 
fect paper  my  own  ideas  and  to  chron- 
icle the  results  of  my  own  observations. 

The  Need  in  Northern  States. 

Our  gardens  are  sadly  in  need  of  roses 


It  is  time  every  retail  florist  was  look- 
ing to  his  stock  for  Easter.  If  it  is  not 
already  under  way  in  the  greenhouses, 
it  should  be  oVdered  of  the  wholesaler. 
And  if  you  have  stock  provided,  have 
you  all  the  necessary  accessories?  A 
large  part  of  the  sales  will  be  growing 
plants  and  nowadays  no  plant  is  salable 
unless  properly  dressed  with  the  many 
accessories  provided  by  the  supply  houses. 

In  a  great  majority  of  the  stores  there 
is  only  a  limited  sale  for  the  large  and 
expensive  plants  and  for  the  staple  items 
of  the  average  store  only  the  less  costly 
accessories  are  needed — but  they  are  no 
less  necessary  because  inexpensive,  and 
adequate  supplies  should  be  on  hand  for 
a  record  trade.  Unless  all  signs  fail 
this  is  to  be  a  banner  Eastet.  It  is  the 
purpose  of  the  Review  to  show  in  this 
and  the  following  issue  the  plant  ar- 
rangements which  sold  well  last  Easter, 
not  so  much  that  they  may  be  copied  as 
to  offer  suggestions  to  the  thoughtful 
store  man  as  to  how  the  stock  may  be 
varied.  Variety  is  not  only  the  spice  of 
life,  but  in  a  flower  store  it  is  the  sauce 
which  does  as  much  as  novelty  to  retain 
the  interest  of  the  public.

sellers  at  Easter.  You  can  fill  all  sorts 
of  bark  receptacles  with  all  sorts  of 
plants  and  make  a  pleasing  combination 
in  every  case,  but  don't  overdo  the  birch- 
bark  feature.  Provide  styles,  sizes,  colors 
and  kinds  of  boxes,  baskets,  hampers, 
etc.  The  twig  basket  is  no  longer  a  nov- 
elty, but  it  is  a  good  seller.  If  you  have 
not  provided  these  things,  lose  no  time 
in  sending  an  order  to  your  supply  house. 
If  you  don't  know  just  what  you  want, 
leave  the  selection  to  the  house,  simply 
indicating  how  many  pieces  you  want,  the 
amount  you  want  to  invest,  or  the  price 
per  piece  you  want  to  pay.  Of  course 
you  want  a  few  big  pieces,  but  most  of 
them  should  fit  an  average  purse  among 
your  customers. 

It  is  the  same  with  pot  covers,  crepe 
papers  and  the  staples,  but  mats,  etc., 
should  be  on  hand  to  add  variety.  Rib- 
bons, too,  are  necessary  in  large  assort- 
ment of  styles  and  colors.  Order  now 
what  you  will  need. 


TROUBLE  WITH  SWEET  PEAS. 

Will  you  tell  me  what  is  the  matter 
with  the  branch  and  leaf  of  the  sweet 
pea  enclosed?  You  will  notice  the  double 
branch  is  grown  from  the  same  stalk 
below  and  I  cannot  understand  why  one 
branch  is  grown  from  the  same  stalk 
as  healthy  as  it  can  be.  It  is  the  same 
with  the  leaf  I  am  enclosing.  Occa- 
sionally through  the  house  there  is  a 
whole  stalk  affected  this  way,  while  the 
ones  all  around  are  healthy.  The  sweet 
peas  are  growing  in  some  old  fern  soil 
with  some  horse  manure  mixed  into  it. 
Most  of  the  plants  are  now  looking  fine 
with  the  exception  of  a  few  that  are 
affected  as  you  can  see  by  the  enclosed 
leaves.  The  house  was  run  for  a  while 
at  60  degrees  at  night  and  70  degrees 
during  the  day.  Now  it  is  run  44  de- 
grees to  50  degrees  at  night  and  60 
degrees  days.  Do  you  think  the  disease 
is  caused  by  having  run  the  house  too 
warm,  or  by  ammonia  rising  from  the 
horse  manure  in  the  soil,  or  do  you  think 
it  is  an  insect  invisible  to  the  naked 
eyef  J*  -A-.  J. 

Undoubtedly  the  high  temperature 
maintained  during  the  early  stages  of 
growth  must  have  been  harmful  to  the 
sweet  peas,  which  naturally  love  a  cool 
and  moist  atmosphere.  The  temperature 
you  are  now  keeping  is  much  more  to 
the  liking  of  the  plants.  We  do  not 
think  the  soil  can  have  been  of  the  best 
nature.  Old  fern  soil,  even  when  mixed 
with  manure,  is  hardly  what  we  would 
want  to  plant  sweet  peas  in  for  best 
results.  They  like  a  good  loam  in  which 
a  liberal  supply  of  well  decomposed  cow 
manure  has  been  incorporated.  If  you 
used  horse  manure  and  it  was  rather 
new,  some  ammonia  would  undoubtedly 
arise,  but  nothing  but  thoroughly  de- 
cayed manure  should  be  used  in  the 
soil    for   any   crops. 

It  is  difficult  to  tell  what  has  caused 
the  dying  of  the  shoots.  It  may  have 
been  partially  due  to  the  causes  you 
have  suggested,  or  again,  the  trouble 
may  be  the  work  of  minute  bacteria 
which  work  inside  the  stems  and  no 
spraying  solution  can  reach  them.  Cut- 
ting off  or  pulling  up  and  burning  af- 
fected stems  is  5l  that  can  be  done 
to  mitigate  the  evil.  C  W. 

CAMPANULAS. 

Campanulas,  which  are  also  known  as 
bluebells,  harebells  and  Canterbury  bells, 
are   among   the  most  beautiful    of   our 


hardy  flowers.  Some  of  the  dwarf  spe- 
cies are  not  over  six  inches  high,  while 
the  tallest  reach  five  feet  and  over.  There 
are  many  species  in  cultivation,  of  which 
the  following  six,  according  to  the  Na- 
tional Council  of  Horticulture,  are  most 
deserving  of  mention: 

Campanula  persicifolia  in  the  northern 
states  is  an  almost  continuous  bloomer, 
is  a  perennial,  will  grow  in  any  soil,  and 
is,  perhaps,  the  most  beautiful  species 
cultivated.  The  type  has  blue  flowers, 
but  there  is  a  white  variety. .  There  is  a 
semi-double  variety  which  is  beautiful, 
growing  two  to  two  and  one-half  feet 
high,  and  is  best  adapted  to  a  hardy  bor- 
der or  old-fashioned  garden.  It  should 
be  planted  in  irregular  masses,  mixing 
colors. 

Campanula  Medium,  the  common  Can- 
terbury bells,  is  the  showiest  species. 
When  in  bloom  it  is  often  such  a  solid 
mass  of  flowers  that  no  leaves  can  be 
seen.  It  varies  from  darkest  to  lightest 
blue,  pink  and  white.    It  is  biennial  and 


will  die  immediately  after  the  seeds  have 
ripened.  There  is  a  distinct  variety 
called  cup  and  saucer,  and  several  that 
are  decidedly  double.  The  young  plants 
should  be  set  out  not  later  than  June. 

Campanula  Carpatica  is  the  prettiest 
of  the  dwarf  species.  It  is  perennial,  of 
easy  culture,  producing  flowers  in  great 
abundance  the  second  year  from  seed. 
Campanula  turbinata  is  another  dwarf 
species  suited  for  open  rockeries  or  small 
borders.  For  rockeries,  Campanula  ro- 
tundifolia,  the  English  harebell,  is  best. 
One  of  the  tallest  varieties  is  Campanula 
pyramidalis,  which  sometimes  reaches  five 
feet.  Its  numerous  spikes  are  covered 
with  blue  and  white  flowers. 


Springfield,  Mo. — The  Summerfield 
Floral  Co.  has  placed  in  its  store  win- 
dow a  glass  aquarium  twelve  feet  long 
and  stocked  it  with  goldfish.  Among 
them  are  some  fine  American  and  Jap- 
anese fantails,  and  it  serves  to  keep  a 
crowd  in  front  of  the  window  all  day.

Salvia  Splendens. 

That  brilliant  and  ever  popular  fiow- 
ering  plant.  Salvia  splendens,  grows  very 
rapidly,  either  from  cuttings  or  seed, 
and  a  mistake  is  often  made  by  start- 
ing it  too  early,  with  the  result  that  the 
plants  become  too  tall  and,  if  in  pots, 
so  matted  with  roots  that  they  never 
sufficiently  recover  from  it.  Where  stock 
plants  have  been  carried  over  they 
should  now  be  producing  an  adundance 
of  cuttings,  which  should  be  placed  in 
sand  at  once.  Keep  the  cuttings  shaded, 
well  watered  daily  and  they  will  soon 
root.  We  consider  seedlings,  however, 
preferable  to  plants  raised  from  cut- 
tings, as  they  possess  vigor.  Seedlings 
should  be  transferred  to  flats  or  be 
potted  off  as  soon  as  they  produce  a 
second  pair  of  leaves.  They  grow  very 
fast  and  even  if  seed  is  not  sown  be- 
fore April  1,  excellent  plants  will  be  pro- 
duced. 

Sweet  Peas, 

It  may  seem  a  little  out  of  place  to 
discuss  the  sowing  of  sweet  peas  in  the 
open  when  the  snow  lies  deep  and  frost 
is  two  or  three  feet  in  the  ground,  as 
it  still  does  in  some  sections,  but  we  can- 
not tell  how  soon  a  change  may  come. 
It  arrives  with  cyclonic  force  sometimes. 
Sweet  peas  are  annuals  which  love  a 
cool,  moist  climate  and  the  outdoor  crop 
should  be  gotten  in  as  soon  as  the  frost 
leaves  the  ground  and  it  is  sufficiently 
dry  to  work.  Points  to  remember  in 
sweet  pea  culture  are:  Liberal  enrich- 
ment of  the  soil.  Burying  the  seeds  at 
least  three  inches  deep,  being  careful 
not  to  sow  thickly,  and  if  you  have 
done  so,  thin  in  good  season.  Give  them 
brush  and  other  supports  before  they 
start  to  climb.  Eemove  all  seed-pOds  as 
soon  as  formed.  Water,  if  possible, 
during  dry  weather  and  mulch  the  plants 
to  assist  in  keeping  them  cool  and  moist 
at  the  roots. 

A  few  good  varieties  of  sweet  peas 


are:  Dorothy  Eckford,  white;  Hon. 
.Mrs.  Kenyon,  primrose;  King  Edward 
VII.,  scarlet;  Lady  Grisel  Hamilton, 
lavender;  Prince  of  Wales,  rose;  Miss 
Wilmott  and  Helen  Lewis,  orange; 
Gladys  Unwin,  pink;  America,  varie- 
gated; Black  Knight,  maroon.  For 
early  flowers  sow  some  of  Earliest  of 
All  and  Mont  Blanc. 

Poinsettias. 

Stock  plants  of  poinsettias  will  have 
been  resting  under  the  benches  for  the 
last  ten  weeks.  While  there  is  no  imme- 
diate hurry  about  starting  them,  if  you 
desire  to  bench  some  of  the  rooted  cut- 
tings and  desire  long,  strong  stems,  they 
should  be  overhauled  some  time  during 
the  present  month.  Shake  the  soil  away 
from  the  roots,  cut  the  tops  back  well 
and  place  in  as  small  a  pot  as  the  roots 
can  be  comfortably  squeezed  in.  Place 
on  a  sunny  bench  over  steam  or  hot 
water  pipes,  give  a  good  soaking  of 
water  and  then  keep  rather  on  the  dry 
side  until  the  plants  start  to  break.  Cut- 
tings rubbed  off  with  a  heel,  or  cut 
below  a  joint,  root  readily  in  bottom 
heat,  care  of  course  being  taken  to  allow 
no  sun  to  strike  them  and  to  water  well 
daily.  Sand  of  a  moderately  coarse 
nature  from  which  water  passes  away  at 
once  is  preferable  to  the  finer  sort,  which 
is  more  liable  to  scum  over.  As  soon  as 
roots  are  an  inch  long,  pot  up.  Care 
must  be  taken  not  to  break  the  roots  and 
it  is  a  great  mistake  to  allow  them  to 
make  long  roots  before  removing  them 
from  the  cutting  bench.  It  always  re- 
sults in  a  loss  of  foliage. 

Smilax. 

Seedlings  of  smilax  are  much  more 
profitable  for  planting  than  are  divided 
roots.  If  seed  was  sown  last  month  the 
little  plants  will  now  be  ready  for  2%- 
inch  pots.  A  further  shift, may  be  given 
them  about  the  end  of  Apnl,  and  in 
these  latter  pots  they  can  remain  until

they  can  be  set  out  in  the  beds  during 
June  or  July.  They  should  have  not 
less  than  six  inches  of  good  soil  and  if 
liberally  treated  will  yield  several  crops 
of  strings  during  the  season.  A  top- 
dressing  of  well-rotted  manure  and  occa- 
sional soakings  of  liquid  stimulants  will 
materially  improve  them.  Eed  spider 
disfigures  the  foliage  if  not  kept  well 
syringed,  especially  where  the  plants 
are  near  the  heating  pipes.  The  demand 
for  smilax  is  not  what  it  used  to  be 
before  the  advent  of  Asparagus  plumo- 
sus,  but  we  find  a  bench  of  it  always 
pays  well. 

Variegated  Viocas. 

For  vases,  veranda  or  window-boxes 
Vinca  variegata  is  indispensable.  If 
you  want  a  good  supply  of  strong  plants 
for  another  year  it  is  not  yet  too  late  to 
put  in  a  good  batch  of  cuttings.  Rub 
these  off  with  heels  from  the  base  of 
the  plants  and  they  will  soon  root  in 
sand.  Do  not  cut  the  tops  from  the 
long,  trailing  shoots.  They  are  slower 
and  more  uncertain  of  propagation.  Pot 
off  the  little  cuttings  when  nicely  rooted 
and  plant  out  in  the  open  ground.  Cul- 
tivate well  all  summer  and  by  fall  you 
will  have  fine  stock  which  you  can 
squeeze  into  4-inch  pots  and  stand  in 
single  rows  along  the  edges  of  your 
cool  house  benches.  This  will  make  the 
finest  possible  material  for  use  the  fol- 
lowing bedding  season.  There  never 
seems  to  be  any  surplus  of  this  pretty 
and  most  useful  plant  and  if  you  chance 
to  grow  more  than  you  need  yourself 
you  will  always  find  it  easy  to  dispose 
of.  Vincas  need  a  cool  house  and,  be- 
ing hardy,  an  occasional  freezing  does 
not  harm  them.  Fall  cuttings,  taken 
about  the  last  of  September,  will  make 
nice  plants  for  use  the  following  May. 

Lorraine  Begoaiis, 

If  you  are  in  the  habit  of  raising  your 
own  stock  of  this  most  useful  of  all 
begonias  you  will  now  be  able  to  se- 
cure some  nice  base  cuttings  from  old, 
cut-back  plants  which  have  been  rested 
a  little  but  kept  lightly  syringed.  These 
cuttings,  as  soon  as  two  inches  long, 
should  be  taken  off  with  a  sharp  knife 
and  inserted  in  clean,  sharp  sand,  where 
they  can  have  a  bottom  heat  of  70  de- 
grees to  75  degrees  and  a  top  heat  of 
60  degrees  to  65  degrees.  Use  care  in 
watering  and  nearly  all  will  root. 

If  leaf  cuttings  were  used  and  put  in 
sand  some  six  weeks  ago  they  will  now 
be  rooted  nicely  and  young  growths  will 
be  making  their  appearance.  Pot  them 
up  in  light,  sandy  compost  and  keep  a 
little  on  the  dry  side  until  the  roots 
are  running  around  the  sides  of  the  pots. 

Some  growers  propagate  the  shoots 
coming  from  these  leaf  cuttings  and  con- 
sider that  so  treated  they  make  better 
plants.  Our  experience  has  been  that 
plants  from  leaf  cuttings  are  more  ro- 
bust, make  larger  leaves  and  have  larger 
flowers  than  those  raised  from  cuttings, 
but  flowers  are  more  loosely  scattered 
on  the  plant.  This  is  rather  an  advan- 
tage, however,  as  Lorraines  really  carry 
too  many  flowers  in  proportion  to  the 
foliage  they  carry. 

Preparations  for  Easter. 

The  early  buds  on  many  of  the  lilies 
will  now  be  showing  white.  These  can 
now  safely  be  given  a  cooler  house  and 
will  be  out  in  good  season.  While  the 
principal  call  for  lilies  is  for  single 
stalks  in  pots,  made  up  plants  carrying 


three  to  five  each  make  very  handsome 
specimens  and  always  sell  well.  It  is 
possible  now  to  make  up  these  plants 
by  selecting  those  which  will  flower  to- 
gether. No  compunction  need  be  used 
about  shaking  away  or  chopping  off 
some  of  the  balls  to  make  them  fit  into 
the  new  receptacles.  They  will  flower 
just  as  well  if  kept  well  watered.  Prob- 
ably you  have  noticed  how  stalks  cut 
off  containing  only  buds  open  out  finely 
in  water.  The  same  applies  to  the  made- 
up  plants. 

Tulips  and  narcissi  which  are  usually 
grown  in  flats  can  be  taken  out  and 
placed  in  pans  now.  They  will  open  just 
as  well  and  last  as  long  as  if  grown 
in  them.  Do  not  attempt  this  unless 
the  plants  are  short  and  stocky  and  do 
it  just  before  the  flowers  open.  Hya- 
cinths can  be  treated  in  the  same  way. 
It  is  inadvisable  to  pull  apart  the  very 
vigorous  narcissi,  like  Emperor,  Sir 
Watkin  and  Horsfieldii,  in  this  way,  but 
Golden  Spur  we  find  stands  it  well. 

Pansies  and  double  daisies  sold  well 
in  little  baskets  last  Easter.  If  you 
have  these  in  a  cold  house  and  they  are 


coming  into  flower  make  up  some  pans 
or  baskets  of  them.  English  primroses 
are  also  salable  if  treated  in  the  same 
way.  Many  customers  prefer  these  little 
harbingers  of  spring  to  the  larger  and 
more  showy  plants  associated  with  Eas- 
ter. 

Flowering  shrubs,  such  as  lilac,  deut- 
zias,  cherries,  double  plums,  etc.,  should 
now  be  coming  into  flower  and  ought  to 
be  opened  in  a  cooler  house.  Wistarias 
also  need  similar  treatment.  Do  not 
allow  the  latter  to  become  too  fully  ex- 
panded. 

Rambler  roses,  hydrangeas,  spirseas 
and  in  fact  all  flowering  stock  will  now 
be  matted  with  roots  and  copious  sup- 
plies of  water  are  necessary  to  keep 
them  in  good  condition.  A  little  care- 
lessness now  may  mean  a  heavy  pe- 
cuniary loss.  What  a  treasure  a  man 
is  who  is  a  really  careful  hand  at  water- 
ing. He  who  does  not  skip  a  few  plants 
on  a  bench  every  time  he  waters  it  is 
the  exception,  not  the  rule.  Nothing  so 
stamps  the  successful  grower  as  one 
who  knows  how  to  use  the  hose  ai 
watering  pot. 


CARNATION  NOTES.— VEST. 


Forcing  an  Easter  Crop. 

Two  weeks  after  you  get  these  notes 
you  will  be  in  the  thick  of  the  Easter 
rush,  the  biggest  day  of  the  year  for 
the  trade.  No  doubt  you  are  trying  even 
now  to  estimate  what  your  cut  of  blooms 
will  be  for  that  week  and  wondering 
whether  you  will  be  able  to  deliver  as 
many  as  you  may  have  already  prom- 
ised. If  you  could  count  on  bright 
weather  you  could  make  a  close  esti- 
mate, but  when  you  have  to  run  the  risk 
of  a  bad  week  it  becomes  an  uncertain 
proposition,  and  here  is  where  trouble 
commences.  You  accept  orders  for  as 
many  blooms  as  you  cut  during  the 
heaviest  weeks,  and  when  the  sun  refuses 
to  show  itself,  and  the  blooms  fail  to 
materialize,  you  shove  on  the  heat  to 
force  them  out.  Consequently  you  weaken 
your  plants  so  much  that  for  some  weeks 
your  cut  will  be  away  below  its  usual 
quality. 

The  danger  at  this  time  of  the  year  is 
not  so  great  as  it  is  at  Christmas  and 
with  a  little  foresight  the  plants  can 
be  forced  to  give  a  few  extra  blooms 
without  danger,  but  be  reasonable.  The 
sun  is  stronger  now  aijd  more  ventila- 
tion can  be  given,  thus  causing  the 
plants  to  grow  stronger  and  to  build  up 
and  overcome  the  effects  of  a  slight 
strain  quicker  than  in  midwinter.  By 
starting  the  temperature  upward  a 
week  before  you  deliver  tlie  blooms  and 
raising  the  temperature  a  degree  each 
night  until  you  have  raised  6  degrees, 
and  after  you  are  through  cutting  drop 
again  in  the  same  manner,  you  can  make 
it  comparatively  easy  for  the  plants. 
But  under  no  conditions  should  you 
jump  the  temperature  all  at  one  time, 
or  drop  it,  especially  if  the  weather  is 


bad.  Do  not  raise  it  more  than  f  de- 
grees. That  is  enough  to  push  out  as 
many  blooms  as  will  be  forced  out  with- 
out injury  to  the  plants.  Remember 
that  the  time  of  gluts  and  oversupply 
is  not  far  away.  During  those  times 
only  the  best  of  stock  is  wanted  and 
you  cannot  afford  to  do  anything  now 
that  will  lower  your  quality  at  that 
time. 

Next  week  I  will  tell  you  what  may 
safely  be  done  in  the  matter  of  storing 
up  your  cut  to  provide  a  holiday  supply.

EXPERIENCE  VITH  CARNATIONS. 

[A  paper  by  A.  J.  Stalielln.  of  Redford.  Mlfh.. 
rond  before  the  Detroit  Florists'  Club,  March  6. 
1907.] 

With  my  short  and  limited  experience 
in  carnation  growing  I  do  not  feel  that 
I  am  competent  to  write  anything  new 
or  of  instructive  value  to  our  carnation 
growers,  especially  when  our  trade 
papers  are  continually  printing  all  the 
information  that  any  one  possibly  could 
desire.  Nevertheless,  what  little  expe- 
rience I  have  had  I  will  only  be  too  glad 
to  give. 

Getting;  a  Start. 

In  the  spring  of  1903  I  concluded  that 
every  young  man  at  the  age  of  25  should 
decide  what  his  future  vocation  should 
be — then  get  busy  at  it.  Especially  did 
I  think  this  time  of  myself,  so  I  at  once 
secured  a  position  with  the  Chicago  Car- 
nation Co.,  Joliet,  111.,  one  of  the  largest 
and  most  up-to-date  carnation  growing 
establishments  in  this  country,  where 
many  important  ideas  in  greenhouse  con- 
struction, as  well  as  carnation  growing, 
were  easily  picked  up. 

In  the  fall  of  190.*?  I  returned  home, 
built  one  evonspan  house  .30x200,  with 
gutters  six  feet  high  and  raised  benches, 
installing   a    Superior    hot    water   boiler.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


Mabch  14,  1907. 


It  was  altogether  much  the  same  as  many 
houses  seen  at  Chicago. 

The  first  year  lettuce  was  grown  and 
also  young  carnation  stock  for  the  fol- 
lowing year,  which  was  the  season  of 
1904-1905,  when  the  carnation  market 
was  glutted  almost  continually,  causing 
profits  to  be  almost  unknown.  The  fol- 
lowing year  another  house  was  added  to 
the  old  one,  with  solid  beds  made  with 
12-inch  boards  for  sides,  filled  with  soil. 
This  house  was  planted  to  carnations  be- 
fore the  glass  was  oc^  with  very  satis- 
factory results.  The  following  year, 
which  was  1906,  another  house  was 
added  and  planted  to  mums. 

My  Way  of  Growing  Carnations. 

To  start  with,  the  propagating  bench 
is  built  of  1x6  tamarack  boards  with 
three  hot  water  pipes  underneath.  After 
whitewashing  the  inside  of  the  bench  it 
is  filled  two  inches  deep  with  fine  cin- 
ders, and  is  then  filled  with  three  inches 
more  of  coarse,  clean  sand,  leveled  and 
well  packed.  While  this  is  not  the  mod- 
ern style  of  propagating  bench,  still  I 
find  no  fault  with  it,  as  it  is  inexpen- 
sive, easily  constructed  and,  if  properly 
taken  care  of,  nearly  every  cutting  will 
be  strongly  rooted. 

I  try  and  select  cuttings  at  the  stage 
where  there  is  about  one-half  inch  or  a 
little  more  of  base  without  any  leaves, 
then  cut  as  small  amount  as  possible  off 
of  the  base  and  still  leave  a  nice,  smooth 
surface.  If  plenty  of  room  is  at  hand 
on  the  propagating  bench  leave  on  all 
the  leaves   except   when   it   is   necessary 


rooted  and  of  tener  when  much  ventilation 
is  given.  The  cuttings  should  never  see 
bright  sunlight  until  well  rooted,  when 
they  should  be  planted  up  as  soon  as 
possible.  I  always  have  planted  in  flats, 
simply  because  it  saves  a  lot  of  work 
and,  when  plants  are  planted  out  in  the 
field,  I  believe  it  to  be  just  as  good  as 
if  pots  are  used.  The  advantage  of 
growing  young  carnations  in  flats,  at 
least  in  my  soil,  which  is  clay  loam,  is: 
First,  a  saving  of  a  lot  of  labor  potting, 
repotting  and  handling;  second,  they  do 
not  suffer  from  want  of  water  so  easily, 
which  is  worth  while,  because  in  the 
spring  rush  they  might  happen  to  be 
neglected;  third,  about  the  last  of 
April  or  first  part  of  May  they  can 
be  placed  outdoors.  This  outdoor  treat- 
ment with  cool  nights  brings  the  strength 
and  vigor  right  into  them  and  they  are 
then  in  tip-top  shape  to  plant-  in  the 
field.  In  case  of  a  hard  frost  they  are 
easily  covered  with  a  large  piece  of  light 
cotton,  which  is  enough  protection  at 
this  time  of  year. 

Field  Culture. 

By  cutting  with  a  sharp  knife,  both 
ways,  between  the  rows  of  plants,  then 
holding  the  flat  on  one  side,  giving  it  a 
sharp  downward  tap  upon  a  solid  block, 
the  plants  are  loosened  and  easily  taken 
out  in  good  shape,  with  all  the  soil  cling- 
ing to  the  nice  mass  of  roots  which  they 
always  have.  These  plants  with  roots 
looking  out  in  every  direction,  not  like 
pot-bound  plants,  but  ready  to  take  hold 
of  their  new  quarters,  always  make  fine, 


H.  Thaden  Expatiating  on  His  Patent  Truss  Construction. 


to  remove  some  of  the  small  lower  ones. 
When  a  batch  is  ready,  make  a  cut  in 
the  sand  with  a  tool  about  the  width  of 
a  table  knife  and  one-sixteenth  of  an 
inch  thick.  The  distance  apart  to  stick 
the  cuttings  is  governed  by  their  size. 
Three-quarters  of  an  inch  apart  in  the 
rows  and  the  rows  two  and  one-half 
inches  apart  is  about  right  for  medium 
.size  cuttings. 

Spray    the    cuttings    every    day    until 


healthy  stock.  So  far  I  have  planted 
out  in  the  field  as  early  as  possible,  some- 
times the  last  part  of  April,  when  we 
still  have  hard  frosts  and  find  the  earliest 
ones  out  always  make  the  best  plants. 
They  are  planted  eight  inches  to  nine 
inches  apart  and  the  rows  thirty-nine 
inches  apart,  so  all  cultivating  can  be 
done  with  a  horse.  This  should  be  done 
as  soon  as  possible  after  every  rain. 
Topping    should    be    looked    after    in 


time,  not  allowing  the  plants  to  produce 
a  lot  of  buds  unnecessarily,  which  is 
only  a  waste  of  energy  on  the  part  of 
the  plants.  This  also  should  be  done 
often  and  not  more  than  two  or  three 
shoots  on  any  plant  stopped  at  once.  Do- 
ing this  often  helps  much  to  have  plants 
in  continuous  bloom. 

Indoor  Culture. 

Lifting  and  planting  in  the  houses 
should  always  be  accomplished  as  early 
as  possible.  I  have  always  planted  in 
August,  but  would  plant  earlier  if  possi- 
ble. By  keeping  the  plants  well  culti- 
vated they  can  be  taken  up  at  any  time, 
regardless  of  the  weather,  although  a  dry 
time  is  best,  as  then  the  foliage  is  rather 
hard  and  not  easily  injured  by  wilting. 
I  like  to  leave  on  a  ball  of  dirt  about 
three  inches  in  diameter,  which,  when 
planted,  helps  to  keep  them  erect  and 
also  from  wilting  badly  the  first  few 
days. 

Until  the  plants  begin  to  send  out  lit- 
tle rootlets  they  should  be  sprayed  once 
or  twice  a  day,  according  to  the  weather ; 
also  keep  them  well  watered  after  the 
roots  have  taken  good  hold.  Watering 
is  only  done  when  needed  and  then  thor- 
oughly. At  first  it  is  necessary  to  keep 
the  soil  wet  enough,  still  not  too  wet,  as 
the  plants  have  not  as  yet  taken  a  strong 
hold,  and  the  soil,  not  being  full  of  roots, 
is  easily  and  quickly  soured.  Thorough 
cultivation  will  help  much  to  avoid  this 
and  should  be  done  often. 

As  soon  as  growth  commences,  the 
shade  on  the  houses  should  be  removed, 
plenty  of  ventilation  given  and  the  plants 
never  allowed  to  suffer  for  want  of 
water.  After  the  plants  are  larger  and 
are  beginning  to  bloom,  the  soil,  being 
full  of  roots,  is  kept  sweet,  so  it  is  not 
necessary  to  cultivate  so  often. 

Fumigating  and  syringing  should  be 
attended  to.  Greenfly  and  red  spider 
must  be  kept  out  of  sight.  Nothing 
causes  so  much  loss  and  annoyance  as  a 
good  crop  of  these  pests. 

Marketing  and  Varieties. 

Every  grower  has  his  own  way  of  dis- 
posing of  his  stock.  So  far  I  have  sent 
the  bulk  of  my  stock  to  the  Michigan  Cut 
Flower  Exchange,  except  at  a  few  short 
periods  when  I  have  relieved  a  glut,  to  a 
certain  extent  at  least,  by  selling  on  the 
street;  which  method  by  some  has  been 
severely  ridiculed,  and  by  others  upheld, 
as  the  only  method  that  will  satisfac- 
torily relieve  a  glut. 

I  am  at  present  growing  Thos.  W. 
Lawson,  White  Lawson,  Variegated  Law- 
son,  Enchantress,  Eose-pink  Enchantress, 
Mrs.  M.  A.  Patten,  Nelson  Fisher,  Har- 
lowarden,  Ethel  Ward,  Helen  Goddard 
and  two  seedlings,  one  white  and  one 
red.  Of  these  varieties  I  will  discard 
M.  A.  Patten,  Harlowarden,  Ethel  Ward 
and  Helen  Goddard,  and  will  add  to  my 
list  for  next  season  Aristocrat,  Beacon 
and  White  Enchantress.  I  have  also 
done  a  little  hybridizing,  which  every 
grower  should  practice,  at  least  on  a 
small  scale;  it  keeps  up  a  lively  interest, 
gives  one  something  to  look  forward  to 
at  all  times  and,  perhaps,  may  result 
profitably  financially. 


Westboeo,  Mass. — K.  O.  Stockbridge 
&  Co.  have  had  a  hard  winter,  especially 
since  their  boiler  broke  down  in  the  cold 
snap  in  February.  They  were  able  to 
keep  frost  out  by  using  oil  stoves,  but 
it  has  hurt  later  crops.^

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review*

H.  Thadeot  of  Atlanta^  Ga^  in  his  Newly  Patented  Truss-roofed  Greenhouse. 


MR.  THADEN  AND  HIS  HOUSE. 

The  accompanying  illustrations  show 
H.  Thaden,  dean  of  the  craft  in  the 
south,  in  one  of  his  greenhouses  at  At- 
lanta, explaining  the  merits  of  his  new 
truss  construction  to  a  visitor.  In  for- 
warding the  pictures  Mr.  Thaden  says: 

"We  mail  you  today  photographs  of 
a  greenhouse  embracing  our  recently  pat- 
ented equalizing  truss.  Perhaps  you 
would  like  to  make  use  of  it  in  the 
Review,  as  it  embraces  something  radi- 
cally new  and  different  from  all  old 
methods  at  construction,  eliminating  not 
only  the  post  supports  for  the  purlins, 
but  also  any  and  all  cross  bracing,  thus 
clearing  the  greenhouse  of  all  obstruc- 
tion from  floor  to  ridge.  As  you  are 
aware,  we  were  awarded  a  certificate  on 
our  modest  exhibit  last  summer  at  Day- 
ton, and  our  invention  was  highly  recom- 
mended by  the  judges.  We  thought  you 
would  no  doubt  like  to  show  it  up  to 
better  advantage  than  has  heretofore 
been  done,  as  we  are  one  of  your  old 
patrons, ' ' 

PANSIES. 

The  pansy  is  one  of  the  oldest  garden 
flowers  and  most  popular.  Every  florist 
can  sell  quantities,  put  up  in  baskets  at 
25  cents  or  50  cents  a  basket,  so  the 
customer  can  readily  carry  them  and 
plant  at  his  convenience.  In  one  of  its 
widely  circulated  press  notices  the  Na- 
tional Council  of  Horticulture  says  it  is 
best  for  the  home  garden-maker  to  have 
in  the  spring  pansy  plants  which  his  flo- 
rist has  carried  through  the  winter  in  a 
coldframe.  The  plants  should  be  set  out 
as  soon  as  the  ground  is  in  condition  for 
working.  The  only  cultivation  necessary 
is  to  keep  the  ground  reasonably  well 
stirred  to  prevent  baking,  and  keep  it 
free  from  weeds.  The  blooms  should  be 
kept  picked  closely,  so  the  blooming  sea- 
son may  be  lengthened. 

In  favorable  localities,  where  the  soil 
is  moist  and  not  too  warm,  the  seeds 
may  be  sown  early  in  the  spring  and  if 
thinned    and   the    flowers   picked   closely 


will  give   a  succession   of  bloom   almost 
until  winter. 

In  rather  warm  and  dry  localities,  sow 
seeds  in  August  or  September  and  trans- 
plant the  seedlings  to  pots,  or  better,  to 
a  coldframe  with  good  soil,  where  they 
may  remain  until  cold  weather,  when  they 
should  be  protected  by  glass  and  boards. 
They  are  best  kept  in  the  frames  until 
spring,  when  the  boards  may  be  removed 
and  the  plants  allowed  to  make  early 
growth  in  the  frames. 


STOCKS  AND  CANNAS. 

I  have  a  fine  strain  of  Cut-and-come- 
again  stock  and  would  like  to  raise  my 
own  seed.  Please  tell  me  when  and  how 
to  fertilize  the  blossoms.  I  have  both 
double  and  single.  Which  will  be  the 
seed-bearing  parent?  How  are  cannas 
hybridized?  G.  O.  K. 

Presuming  that  there  are  no  other 
colors  or  varieties  of  stock  in  the  same 
house,  there  is  no  reason  why  you  cannot 
secure  some  good  home-saved  seed.  The 
single  flowering  plants  are  the  ones 
which  produce  the  seed.  Bees  and  tap- 
ping the  plants  should  sufficiently  scatter 
tho  pollen  at  this  season.  The  plants 
must  be  left  in  the  pots  or  benches  until 
the  seed  shows  signs  of  ripening,  when 
they  can  be  pulled  out,  the  roots  and 
part  of  the  stems  removed  and  the  re- 
maining portion  of  the  plants  hung  up 
in  a  dry,  airy  shed  or  room  until  the 
pods  are  all  ripened.  The  pods  show 
by  their  size  and  shape  those  which  will 
give  a  high  percentage  of  double  flowers 
and  all  inferior  ones  should  be  discarded. 
Culture  in  pots  of  stocks  intended  for 
seed  is  desirable,  for  they  can  be  moved 
around,  whereas  in  benches  the  space, 
however  valuable  it  may  be,  cannot  be 
utilized  for  other  crops  until  they  are 
pulled  up. 

A  French  method  given  by  M.  Chate 
is  to  place  the  plants  in  a  position  out- 
doors well  exposed  to  the  morning  sun. 
When  flowering,  a  number  of  shoots  are 
nipped  off,  leaving  ten  or  twelve  pods  on 
the     secondary     branches.       All     other 


branches  made  are  carefully  removed.  All 
the  sap  goes  to  the  few  pods  left  and 
they  average  eighty  per  cent  double  flow- 
ers. The  upper  portions  of  the  pod  were 
separated,  as  they  averaged  eighty  per 
cent  single  flowers  against  an  equal  pro- 
portion of  doubles  for  the  lower  half. 

In  Erfurt,  Germany,  where  an  im- 
mense business  is  done  in  stock  and  aster 
seeds,  many  of  the  choicer  strains  are 
obtained  from  plants  in  pots  grown  in 
sunny  houses.  The  plants  are  watered 
only  enough  to  keep  them  from  dying. 
Thus  treated  the  plants  are  weakened, 
pods  shortened,  seeds  better  ripened  and 
they  yield  sixty  to  seventy  per  cent  of 
doubles. 

Cannas  for  purposes  of  hybridization 
ought  to  be  grown  in  pots.  Place  them 
in  a  sunny  location  in  a  temperature  of 
55  degrees  to  60  degrees  at  night.  Use 
a  small  camel 's-hair  brush  to  remove  the 
pollen  from  the  flower  of  one  variety  and 
touch  the  pistils  of  the  future  seed- 
bearing  plant  with  it.  Bemove  all  flow- 
ers not  fertilized,  allow  the  plant  to  pro- 
duce no  more  blooms  and  enclose  the 
fertilized  flowers  with  fine  muslin  to  keep 
out  bees  and  other  insects  to  make  sure 
that  no  outside  agencies  are  at  work  on 
the  flowers.  It  is  best  to  enclose  them 
from  insects  before  they  open.  If  fer- 
tilized during  winter,  sown  as  soon  as 
ripe  in  a  brisk  bottom  heat  and  grown 
right  along,  seedlings  will  flower  the 
same  year.  Use  celluloid  labels  to  re- 
cord the  cross.  They  will  not  decay,  like 
wood  or  paper  ones.  C.  W. 


Albion,  Mich. — A.  H.  Dew  will  erect 
two  new  houses  this  spring.  One  will 
be  a  truss  house  37x100,  the  other  a 
carnation  house  27x100.  A  retail  store 
will  be  opened  in  a  new  building  on 
Perry  street.  Mr.  Dew  has  been  at  it 
twelve  years. 

Waverly,  Mass. — Vernon  T.  Sher-

THE  JEWEL  CASKET. 

One  of  the  novelties  is  the  jewel 
casket  shown  in  the  accompanying  illus- 
tration. It  looks  as  though  it  were  made 
of  heavy  iron  and  as  if  it  were  very  old. 
A  few  of  the  best  stores  in  New  York, 
Chicago  and  other  cities  have  had  it  as 
an  exclusive  specialty  and  have  found  it 
sold  well  with  such  flowers  as  violets, 
the  sizes  being  just  right  for  this  pur- 
l)ose.  Now  the  Geller  Florists'  Supply 
Co.,  which  states  that  it  is  sole  importer, 
is  sending  the  jewel  box  broadcast  in  the 
trade. 


PLANTS  BY  MAIL. 

[A  paper  bj-  P.  J.  Lynch,  of  West  Grove,  Pa., 
read  before  the  Florists'  Club  of  Philadelphia 
March   5,   1907.] 

While  the  subject  assigned  me  only 
treats  of  roses  by  mail,  I  shall  neverthe- 
less take  the  liberty  of  extending  the 
scope  to  the  mail-order  plant  trade  in 
general.  At  first  glance  it  might  seem 
that  this  subject  is  too  prosaic  to  admit 
of  much  that  is  new  and  interesting,  es- 
pecially to  those  not  engaged  in  the  mail 
order  business.  There  is,  however,  much 
in  common  between  the  mail  trade  man 
and  the  numerous  other  branches  of  the 
florists'  trade. 

The  Pioneer. 

From  the  most  humble  beginning  the 
mail  order  trade,  beset  as  it  has  been 
with  so  many  vicissitudes,  has  made  mar- 
velous strides.  Few  of  us  realize  the 
great  work  that  is  being  done  in  this 
branch  of  our  trade,  a  work  that  has 
brought  untold  advantages  to  everyone 
engaged  in  the  florists'  business.  I  can 
do  no  better  than  to  repeat  the  opinion 
expressed  upon  a  previous  occasion,  that 
your  mail  order  man  is  the  pioneer  and 
pathfinder  of  the  craft,  and  he  has  car- 
ried the  gospel  of  loving  flowers,  es- 
pecially roses,  and  how  to  get  them  and 
grow  them,  to  the  most  remote  parts  of 
the  country,  and,  in  a  measure,  has  been 
the  educator   of  the   masses,   those   who 


He  has  had  much  to  combat:  First 
of  all,  the  skeptical  public  in  early  times 
refused  to  believe  that  it  was  possible 
to  send  rose  plants,  or  plants  of  any 
kind,  safely  by  mail,  particularly  to  dis- 
tant points.  Then,  too,  in  the  beginning 
it  would  seem  that  the  postal  laws  were 
framed  with  special  reference  to  the  mail 
order  business,  to  prevent  it  from  spread- 
ing to  any  material  extent.  Thirty-five 
years  ago  the  rate  of  postage  was  the 
same  as  that  of  letter  postage.  No  plant 
was  allowed  to  bear  a  label,  nor  was  the 
name  of  the  firm  sending  the  package 
allowed  to  appear  on  the  outside.  It 
would  be  hard  to  imagine  a  condition 
of  affairs  more  discouraging  than  this, 
but  the  germ  of  the  mail  order  business 
was  firmly  rooted,  and  the  early  pioneers 
kept  after  the  postoffice  department  un- 
til these  obnoxious  conditions  were  modi- 
fied and  placed  upon  their  present  basis. 
The  efficiency  of  the  mail  service  has 
been  improved,  and  now  we  are  allowed 
to  send  seeds,  roots  and  plants  of  all 
kinds  under  the  rate  of  the  third-class 
postage,  1  cent  for  each  two  ounces  or 
fractional  part  thereof. 

Postal  Reforms  Needed. 

While  the  postal  authorities  have  done 
much  to  encourage  the  mail  order  busi- 
ness, there  is  yet  ample  room  for  fur- 
ther reform;  in  fact,  with  the  annual  de- 
ficiency in  the  revenues  of  the  postoffice 
department  it  would  seem  that  there  is  a 
great  opportunity  to  place  the  depart- 
ment upon  a  business-like  basis.  Not 
until  there  is  concerted  action  in  the  mail 
order  trade  will  we  secure  such  conces- 
sions as  we  should  have,  and  could  un- 
doubtedly get  by  unity  of  movement  in 
this  direction. 

While  I  will  not  cite  the  rates  of  the 
express  companies  as  a  criterion  of  all 
that  is  equitable  and  fair,  yet  in  some 
respects  they  are  far  superior  to  our 
postal  rates.  For  example,  the  express 
company  will  carry  100  pounds  from 
Philadelphia  to  Pittsburg  for  40    cents, 


The  Jewel  Case  for  Violets. 


are  not  in  close  touch  with  the  large  cen- 
ters of  population  where  the  rose,  grown 
for  cut  flowers,  can  make  its  own  appeal. 
He  has  been  a  factor  in  beautifying  the 
waste  places  of  our  land,  and  the  great 
work  in  which  he  is  engaged  has  but 
commenced. 


while  the  postofiice  department  would 
charge  $8  for  100  pounds  of  mail  mat- 
ter. The  express  companies  conduct  their 
business  upon  a  profitable  basis,  and 
even  the  railroad  companies  provide 
splendid  accommodations  for  the  public 
in  the   passenger  traffic   at   a  much  less 


rate  than  they  charge  the  government  to 
carry  the  mails. 

It  seems  to  me  that  mail  matter,  par- 
ticularly in  bulk,  should  be  carried  with 
reference  to  the  distance  covered,  just 
the  same  as  passenger  traffic  or  express 
rates.  It  might  be  urged  that  this  would 
bring  about  a  great  deal  of  unnecessary 
confusion,  but  were  the  country  divided 
into  sections  or  by  meridians,  and  have- 
a  rate  of  postage  to  each  section,  it 
would  not  bring  about  any  more  con- 
fusion than  is  incident  to  the  selling  of 
railroad  tickets  or  making  express  rates 
to  various  parts  of  the  country.  T  he- 
question  is  one,  however,  so  broad  in  its 
aspect  that  I  shall  not  treat  it  further 
at  this  time,  but  it  is  a  subject  that 
might  be  carefully  considered  by  the  na- 
tional society.  And,  too,  the  matter  of 
a  parcels  post  system,  similar ;  to  that 
in  vogue  in  Great  Britain,  should  be- 
sought after  as  a  measure  that  would 
revolutionize  the  mail  order  business  to 
a  very  great  extent. 

Abuses  in  tlie  Trade. 

I  do  not  want  to  be  classed  among 
pessimists,  but  in  these  days  of  reform 
there  is  an  opportunity  to  apply  some 
of  it  to  the  mail  order  trade.  Sending 
roses  and  plants  of  all  kinds  by  mail 
and  guaranteeing  their  safe  delivery  to 
any  postoffice  or  express  office  in  the 
United  States  is  the  fundamental  princi- 
ple which  has  made  the  sending  of  plant* 
by  mail  no  longer  a  risk  from  the  pur- 
chaser's  viewpoint. 

Year  after  year  large  sums  of  money 
are  spent  in  advertising  and  the  send- 
ing out  of  catalogues,  and  the  skeptical 
public  has  been  won  and  has  confidence 
in  the  mail  order  man;  but  in  the  en- 
deavor to  still  further  increase  our  busi- 
ness there  has  crept  in  here  and  there 
abuses  which  should  be  eliminated. 
Through  the  trade  papers  there  has  been 
considerable  discussion  as  to  the  advis- 
ability of  giving  premiums  with  every 
order.  The  practice  is  a  pernicious  one,, 
to  my  mind,  and  there  is  really  no  ex- 
cuse for  it.  We  oppose  the  free  distri- 
bution of  seeds,  but  in  our  own  business 
we  do  not  oppose  the  free  distribution  of 
plants.  There  should  be  a  flat  price,  a 
price  that  leaves  a  legitimate  margin  of 
profit;  then  the  buyer*^  knows  just  ex- 
actly what  he  is  getting  and  what  he  has 
to  pay  for. 

There  are  other  abuses  which  could  be 
easily  modified  which  would  add  much 
to  the  moral  tone  of  the  mail  order 
trade,  such  as  misleading  guarantees, 
which  seem  to  grow  more  radical  year 
by  year,  and  the  sending  out  of  plants 
that  are  not  true  to  name,  which  to  my 
mind  is  one  of  the  most  damaging  prac- 
tices which  besets  our  trade. 

I  am  not  an  advocate  of  trusts  and 
so-called  community  of  interests,  but 
there  should  be  a  common  interest  among 
those  engaged  in  the  mail  trade  to  bring 
them  in  closer  touch  with  each  other  and 
modify  many  of  the  abuses  which  have 
crept  in. 

The  mail  order  trade  is  one  of  inter- 
minable detail,  and  a  visit  to  an  estab- 
lishment at  this  time  of  year  would 
prove  a  revelation  to  the  novice.  A  cor- 
respondent, whose  airy  persiflage  is  al- 
ways heard  above  the  roar  and  din  of 
the  battle,  recently  paid  a  visit  to  a 
mail  order  establishment,  where  he  was 
shown  upwards  of  a  million  small  rose 
plants,  being  sent  to  nearly  every  state 
in  the  Union,  and  to  foreign  countries, 
such  as  China  and  ^apan,  where,  not- 
withstanding  the    trip    of    four   to    five

weeks,  they  invariably  reach  their  desti- 
nation in  first-class  condition.  For  a 
person  who  is  never  surprised  at  any- 
thing his  astonishment  at  the  vast 
amount  of  detail  involved  came  in  the 
nature  of  a  real  triumph. 

Nature  Demands  Novelty. 

Human  nature  enters  largely  into  our 
trade,  and  it  must  be  realized  that  to  sell 
goods  to  an  army  of  different  individuals 
through  printer's  ink  and  to  hold  this 
trade  requires,  first  of  all,  honesty  of 
purpose  and  individual  care  for  each 
and  every  order  that  is  sent  out. 

The  mail  trade  man  encourages  the 
production  of  novelties,  especially  in 
roses,  because  each  year  he  must  have  a 
leader  in  the  different  branches  of  his 
business,  and  nothing  is  so  attractive  as 
a  new  rose.  There  have  been  so  many 
disappointments  in  the  new  roses  from 
Europe  that  we  must  depend  upon  our 
own  hybridizers;  and  for  that  reason  it 
seems  proper  at  this  point  to  ask  the 
earnest  support  for  the  American  Eose 
Society,  and  encourage  it  by  attending 
the  forthcoming  exhibition  in  Washing- 
ton. The  demand  for  good  roses  is  ever 
present.  "We  cannot  secure  too  many 
Killarneys,  Eichmonds,  Golden  Gates, 
Kate  Moultons  and  new  roses  of  these 
types.  The  hardiness  of  the  hybrid  tea 
class  has  brought  about  a  revolution  in 
amateur  circles,  because  the  planter  of 
the  north  can  have  roses  throughout  the 
entire  growing  season  and  at  the  same 
time  they  are  sufficiently  h6,rdy  to  with- 
stand the  rigors  of  the  most  severe  win- 
ters. We  should  undoubtedly  secure  a 
greater  variety  of  hybrid  teas,  and  our 
exhibitors  of  new  varieties  should  be  en- 
couraged in  every  possible  way. 

I  could  say  much  more  with  reference 
to  the  sending  of  roses  by  mail,  but  I 
fear  that  the  details  would,  perhaps, 
prove  tiresome,  and  I  shall  therefore 
draw  my  remarks  to  a  close  by  thanking 
you  for  your  patience  and  kind  atten- 
tion. 


THE  ST.  LOUIS  EXHIBITION. 

The  St.  Louis  Horticultural  Society 
opened  its  first  spring  flower  show  Tues- 
day afternoon,  March  5,  in  the  Masonic 
Temple  building  on  Grand  avenue.  The 
exhibition  in  itself  was  very  pretty  and 
the  society  is  to  be  congratulated  on  ar- 
ranging in  such  a  short  time  so  successful 
a  show. 

The  display  of  bulbous  stock  was  fine, 
especially  that  exhibited  by  F.  C.  Weber 
and  G.  B.  Windier.  C.  Young  &  Sons 
and  Wm.  Schray  &  Sons  had  two  fine 
groups  of  plants  in  bloom.  The  booth 
put  up  by  F.  C.  Weber  was  handsome, 
showing  good  taste  in  every  way.  C. 
Young  &  Sons  also  had  a  finely  arranged 
booth.  In  the  booth  of  the  St.  Louis 
Seed  Co.  there  was  a  general  display  of 
seeds,  bulbs  and  birds.  The  Koenig 
Floral  Co.  also  had  a  booth  made  of 
smilax  which  was  pretty. 

Theodore  Miller  displayed  a  dinner 
table  Wednesday  afternoon,  which  was 
tastefully  arranged  and  attracted  a 
great  deal  of  attention.  His  floral  bas- 
ket, which  took  first  prize,  was  also  a  fine 
piece  of  workmanship.  F.  C.  Weber  and 
E.  J.  Windier  also  displayed  handsome 
made  up  baskets. 

The  E.  G.  Hill  Co.,  Richmond,  Ind., 
staged  a  vase  of  the  new  rose  Ehea  Eeid, 
through  S.  S.  Skidelsky,  which  was  ad- 
mired by  all  the  visitors.  Geo.  A.  Kuhl, 
of  Pekin,  111.,  showed  some  good  speci- 
men ferns  and  Peter  Eeinberg,  Chicago, 
a,  new  pink  rose  which  came  in  for  its 


P.  J.  Lynch. 


share  of  praise.    Mr.  Kill,  of  Eeinberg 's, 
was  present  with  a  large  display  of  roses. 

C.  L,  Washburn,  of  Bassett  &  Wash- 
burn, Chicago,  had  a  fine  vase  of  No.  20, 
a  new  red  carnation. 

The  attendance  was  good  throughout 
the  three  days  and  evenings,  for  society 
people  were  sent  free  tickets.  The  judges

HOW  ST.  LOUIS  LOOKED  TO  ME. 

The  spring  flower  show  at  St.  Louis 
last  week  was  a  decided  success  in  my 
opinion.  There  were  a  number  of  novel 
features  which  were  very  attractive.  The 
best  feature  was  the  beautiful  appear- 
ance of  the  hall  on  entering.  The  first 
view  the  visitor  got  made  the  hall  seem 
like  an  enchanted  island,  filled  with  flow- 
ers artistically  arranged  to  blend  their 
colors  in  a  most  delightful  manner. 
This  pleasing  effect  started  the  visitor 
o^  a  tour  of  admiration  around  the  hall 
and  it  accomplished  a  vast  amount  of 
favorable  advertising  for  the  flower 
trade  in  St.  Louis. 

The  exhibit  of  spring  flowers  was  the 
largest  and  most  complete  I  ever  saw. 
The  arrangement  of  tulips,  daffs,  hya- 
cinths and  valley  in  baskets,  pots,  etc., 
decorated  with  ribbons  and  coverings, 
showed  excellent  taste,  Mr.  Weber's 
booth  had  a  mantel  decoration,  a  very 
handsome  basket  of  roses  and  several 
vases  all  well  done,  which,  with  the  ar- 
rangement of  plants,  made  a  fine  adver- 
tisement for  his  business;     Theo.  Miller 


immense  flower,  four  inches  in  diameter, 
well  built  and  a  peculiar  dark  wine 
shade  in  color.  It  is  certainly  a  fine 
novelty.  The  Chicago  Carnation  Co. 
had  a  choice  exhibit  and  Aristocrat 
showed  up  well.  They  had  a  vase  of 
Witterstatter 's  J.  A.  Valentine,  a  fine 
carnation  of  a  color  between  Enchantress 
and  Win^or  that  looks  like  a  good  thing. 
Tlie  J.  D.  Thompson  Co.  had  a  good  lot 
of  flowers.  A  vase  of  Eobert  Craig  was 
exceptionally  good.  There  were  a  num- 
ber of  other  good  carnation  exhibits. 
(Bassett  &  Washburn's  i\o.  20  at- 
tracted its  share  of  attention. — Ed.)  In 
the  roses,  Peter  Eeinberg  had  two  vases, 
one  of  Chatenay  and  one  of  Eichmond,. 
with  stems  four  to  five  feet  long.  We 
don't  wonder  the  alderman  has  to  keep 
raising  the  roofs  of  his  greenhouses  if 
he  grows  that  kind  of  stock.  The  E.  G. 
Hill  Co.  had  a  vase  of  its  new  rose,. 
Ehea  Eeid,  similar  in  color  to  the  Amer- 
ican Beauty.  The  flower  is  very  solid, 
though  not  as  large  as  a  Beauty.  The 
stems  and  foliage  were  fine.  The  color 
appears  a  little  dull  at  first,  but  we 
think  if  the  plants  were  grown  m  our 
rich  Illinois  corn  soil  that  the  color 
might  be  brightened  up  a  little. 

The    welcome    extended    the    visitors 
made   one   feel  right   at   home   and   the

and  second  awards  carried  a  cash  prize 
in  addition  to  ribbons. 

Special  mention  was  made  of  the  fol- 
lowing: 

George  A.  Kuhl,  Pekin,  111.,  exhibitor 
of  four  varieties  of  ferns,  the  most  nota- 
ble of  which  were  the  Whitmani  and 
Piersoni. 

The  E.  G.  Hill  Co.,  Eichmond,  Ind., 
showed  a  vase  of  Ehea  Eeid  rose,  a  good, 
large  flower  on  stiff  stem. 

Bassett  &  Washburn,  Hinsdale,  111., 
exhibited  a  vase  of  seedling  No,  20,  a 
bright  red  carnation,  large  size  and  good 
stem, 

A,  C.  Brown,  Springfield,  111.,  showed 
a  lairge  vase  of  mixed  carnations,  con- 
taining a  number  of  well-giown  varie- 
ties. 

Heller  Bros.,  Newcastle,  Ind.,  showed 
three  vases  of  carnations  for  exhibition 
only. 

Theodore  Miller,  St,  Louis,  a  table 
decoration  of  yellow  jonquils  and  violets, 

F,  H,  Meinhardt,  fifty-seven  varieties 
of  cut  flowers, 

Alex,  Waldbart  &  Sons,  a  group  of 
beautiful  specimen  palms. 

Vaughan  's  Seed  Store,  Chicago,  had  on 


had  a  number  of  artistic  baskets,  vases, 
etc,  and  must  have  made  a  decided  hit 
with  the  visitors.  Another  firm  had  a 
small  "greenhouse"  made  of  smilax  and 
filled  with  plants  and  flowers,  forming  a 
novel  and  handsome  exhibit. 

There  were  several  choice  exhibits  of 
plants  arranged  for  effect  that  were  fine. 

J.  S.  Wilson,  of  Vaughan 's  Green- 
houses, brought  down  two  beautiful 
specimen  azaleas  and  several  other 
plants.  Geo.  A.  Kuhl,  of  Pekin,  had  a 
fine  show  of  bulbous  plants  and  there 
were  several  exhibits  of  Japanese  and 
Bermuda  Easter  lilies  which  were  splen- 
did considering  how  late  all  lilies  are. 

In  the  cut  flowers  the  show  of  carna- 
tions was  very  good.  A.  C.  Brown,  of 
Springfield,  had  a  fine  vase  of  his  new 
carnation.  Gov.  Deneen.  Brother  Brown 
is  a  sly  dog  and  though  a  little  deaf  has. 
extremely  good  eyesight.  He  had  deco- 
rated his  fellow  townswoman,  Mrs.  Ar- 
thur Canfield,  with  an  immense  specimen 
of  the  Governor  and,  as  Mrs.  Canfield

is  a  good  flower  town,  a  city  of  well  to

BOSTON. 

The  Market 

There  is  considerable  improvement  in 
conditions  as  compared  with  a  week  ago. 
A  good  supply  of  flowers  of  all  kinds 
is  arriving,  but  stock  cleans  out  much 
better.  Wintry  conditions  still  prevail 
and  we  have  plenty  of  snow,  altkough 
clearer  skies  have  been  vouchsafed  to  us. 
Eoses  are  in  tolerably  good  supply  ex- 
cept Brides,  which  are  quite  scarce. 
Beauties  are  in  fair  supply,  but  not  in 
much  demand,  other  roses  and  spring 
flowering  stock  having  the  preference.

Chatenay  are  all  of  good  quality.  Some 
fine  Brunners  come  from  one  or  two 
growers. 

Carnations  are  selling  better.  White 
ones  are  rather  scarce  and  selling  as 
well  as  the  colored  sorts.  Violets  are 
abundant,  $2  per  thousand  seeming  to 
be  quite  a  general  price,  although  good 
stock  realizes  up  to  50  cents  per  hun- 
dred. Sweet  peas  are  of  superlative 
quality  and  sell  better.  Callas  and  Eas- 
ter lilies  are  also  doing  rather  better. 
Dutch  bulbous  stock  meets  with  a  more 
ready  sale.  There  is  no  special  change 
in  adiantum  or  asparagus,  but  hardy 
ferns  promise  to  be  scarce  and  dearer 
unless  snow  soon  disappears. 

A  good  variety  of  pot  plants  is  now 
arriving,  including  rambler  roses,  genis- 
tas, rhododendrons,  bulbous  stock, 
spiraeas,  etc.  The  sale  on  these  is  im- 
proving somewhat. 

North  Shore  Jottings. 

A.  E.  Parsons,  at  E.  S.  Grew's,  finds 
lupins  an  excellent  annual  for  winter 
flowering  in  benches.  His  carnation 
house  looked  remarkably  well.  Enchant- 
ress, of  course,  took  the  lead,  but  Pat- 
ten, White  Lawson  and  other  sorts  were 
all  good.  Fischer's  Purity  freesia  was 
fine  and  preferred  to  all  others. 


fine  shape.  Melons  were  still  being  cut 
from  one  house.  These  are  now  grown 
here  the  year  around.  The  first  lot 
of  nectarines  were  just  setting.  In  car- 
nations, Enchantress  and  its  rose-pink 
and  striped  sports  were  all  splendid. 
Lady  Bountiful  and  White  Lawson  were 
also  fine.  A  house  of  yellow  and  white 
antirrhinums  was  first-class  and  there 
were  fine  lots  of  sehizanthus,  geraniums, 
cyclamens  and  other  decorative  plants. 
Lupins  were  found  a  fine  bench  crop  for 
Christmas.  A  good  many  orchids  are 
grown.  One  house  is  devoted  to  cat- 
tleyas  and  considerable  batches  of  Pha- 
Isenopsis,  ccelogynes,  Vanda  ccerulea  and 
calanthes  are  grown. 

Alexander  Shaw  presides  at  Judge 
Wm.  H.  Moore's  estate.  The  glass  here 
is  not  extensive  but  divisions  are  devoted 
to  roses,  carnations,  violets,  bedding 
plants  and  stove  plants.  The  carna- 
tions, as  elsewhere,  were  very  good. 

J.  W.  Duncan  will  address  the  North 
Shore  Horticultural  Society  on  shrubs 
at  its  meeting  on  March  15. 

At  W.  B.  Thomas',  where  Mr.  Con- 
nolly has  charge,  carnations  again  looked 
well,  Lawson,  White  Lawson  and  En- 
chantress especially  so.  Nectarines  in 
tubs  were  coming  into  flower.  A  house 
of    grapes    and    figs     was     just     being 


per  magnate  pale  into  utter  insignifi- 
cance. Reading  such  articles  will  make 
the  general  public  believe  that  seedling 
raising  is  a  perfect  Klondyke  for  the 
growers  of  the  divine  flower. 

Horticultural  hall  is  this  week  given 
up  to  a  part  of  Boston's  automobile 
show.  The  spring  exhibition,  which 
opens  March  22,  promises  to  be  unusu- 
ally interesting  and  attractive.  Many 
entries  are  already  to  hand  for  it. 

Tom  Butterworth,  at  the  recent  pres- 
entation banquet,  proved  himself  a  first- 
class  poet.  His  verbal  bouquets  for  the 
club  ofl5cers  past  and  present  made  the 
hit  of  the  evening.  Tom  is  one  of  tae 
few  examples  of  the  successfill  orchid 
cultivator  and  poet  combined  we  have 
heard  of. 

William  Sim  visited  A.  C.  Zvolanek,  of 
Bound  Brook,  N.  J.,  this  week  to  see 
his  new  "creations"  in  sweet  peas  flow- 
ering. At  Cliftondale  the  sweet  peas 
are  superb  at  present. 

There  is  only  a  small  delegation  from 
this  section  to  the  meeting  and  exhibi- 
tion of  the  American  Eose  Society  in 
Washington. 

William  isieholson  is  having  a  heavy 
sale  for  shamrocks.  He  grew  some  50,- 
000  this  season.

At  Dr.  Sear's  we  noted  some  fine  car- 
nation seedlings  raised  by  the  head  gar- 
dener, Mr.  Mitchell.  One,  a  white  with 
a  4-inch  flower,  quite  took  our  eye.  Nec- 
tarines here  were  just  coming  into  flower 
and  promised  well. 

James  Salter,  at  Mrs.  Philip  Dexter 's, 
has  several  divisions  devoted  to  fruit, 
including  grapes,  nectarines  and  melons. 
In  carnations  Enchantress  looked  fine. 
Some  nice  seedlings  were  under  trial. 

Two  fine  new  houses,  each  150  feet 
long  and  even  span,  are  nearing  comple- 
tion for  W.  S.  Paulding.  They  are 
located  some  considerable  distance  from 
his  other  houses  and  will  be  used  mostly 
for  fruit  and  vegetable  forcing.  At  the 
older  place  the  gardener,  P.  E.  Cole,  has 
a  nice  house  of  carnations  and  good 
batches  of  cyclamens.  Primula  obconica, 
antirrhinums  and  other  seasonable  flow- 
ers were  noted. 

At  H.  C.  Prick's,  George  Wyness, 
gardener,  the  most  extensive  range  of 
glass  on  the  North  Shore  will  shortly  be 
started  upon.  A  great  deal  of  planting 
was  done  last  season,  including  thou- 
sands of  hybrid  rhododendrons. 

At  R.  C.  Hooper's  everything  was  in 


started.  Eoses  fill  one  house  and  others 
are  devoted  to  melons  and  a  general  as- 
sortment of  useful  plants  for  cutting 
and   decorative  effect. 

Various  Notes. 

P.  E.  Palmer  will  open  a  discussion 
on  carnations  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Club  March 
19.  A  number  of  carnation  experts  will 
take  part  in  the  discussion.  Exhibits  of 
many  of  the  newer  introductions,  as  well 
as  standard  varieties,  will  be  forthcom- 
ing and  other  attractive  features  are 
being  planned. 

The  Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Club 
will  hold  a  field  day  with  W.  W.  Edgar 
&  Co.,  Waverley,  Saturday,  March  23. 
Members  and  friends  are  invited  to  take 
the  1:30  p.  m.  electrics  from  Park 
street  subway  station  for  Waverley.  Eas- 
ter flowering  plants  are  the  special  fea- 
tures at  this  establishment. 

Peirce  Bros.*  new  scarlet  carnation, 
Governor  Guild,  was  the  subject  of  an 
exhaustive  and  highfalutin  article  in  the 
Boston  Sunday  Post  of  March  3.  It 
made  the  story  of  the  Lawson  carnation 
at  the  time  of  its  sale  to  the  Boston  cop- 


Their  Nature  and  Eemedies,"  was  the 
subject  of  an  interesting  and  practical 
stereopticon  lecture  at  Horticultural 
hall  on  March  9  by  Prof.  H.  H.  Wetzel, 
Ithaca,  N.  Y.  There  will  be  no  lectures 
on  March  16  and  23,  owing  to  the  halls 
all  being  rented  on  those  days.

DUTCH  HYACINTHS  FOR  EASTER. 

Will  you  tell  me  which  are  the  best 
Dutch  hyacinths,  in  different  colors,  to 
grow  for  Easter?  C.  W. 

Commercially,  we  consider  single  hya- 
cinths much  more  desirable  than  double 
ones.  A  few  of  the  best  of  the  several 
colors  are:  Single  red  or  pink.  Norma, 
Gertrude,  Eobert  Steiger;  single  yellow, 
King  of  the  Yellows;  single  blue.  Baron 
van  Tuyll;  single  white,  Grandeur  a 
Merveille,  Baroness  van  Tuyll,  L 'Inno- 
cence. 

One  or  two  fine  double  varieties  are: 
White,  Bouquet  Eoyal;  red.  Bouquet 
tendre ;  blue,  Charles  Dickens  and 
Bloksberg;  yellow.  Bouquet  d 'Orange.

E.  T.  Barnes,  of  Spencer,  Ind.,  states 
that  the  dahlia  growers  of  the  middle 
states  are  talking  organizing  a  dahlia 
society  and  invites  correspondence  from 
those  interested. 

A  PLANT  peddler  in  Chicago  has  a 
miniature  greenhouse  on  his  wagon.  It 
is  worth  its  cost  as  an  advertisement,  to 
say  nothing  of  the  protection  it  affords 
his  stock. 


There  was  from  six  to  ten  inches  of 
snow  over  the  north  Atlantic  states  Sun- 
day, March  10,  extending  as  far  south 
as  Philadelphia. 

Every  florist  should  have  a  printed 
letter-head  J  many  of  the  best  houses  de- 
cline to  give  wholesale  prices  to  those 
whose  requests  do  not  bear  this  evidence 
that  they  are  in  the  trade. 

J.  W.  Bakwell,  whose  fertilizer  fac- 
tory was  established  at  Leicester,  Eng- 
land, in  1800,  and  located  at  Waukegan, 
111.,  since  1900,  says  a  great  many  retail 
florists  are  doing  a  nice  business  in  sell- 
ing his  packets  of  fertilizer  for  house 
plants. 

In  the  Review  of  February  28  there 
were  notes  on  a  new  race  of  peony-flow- 
ered dahlias.  A.  T.  Boddington,  New 
York,  handles  this  novelty,  although  the 
editor  did  not  know  it  when  the  article 
was  published.  Being  wide  awake,  Mr. 
Boddington  had  in  the  next  issue  an  ad- 
vertisement of  these  new  dahlias,  and,  in 
fact,  the  Review  had  before  the  adver- 
tisement appeared  received  inquiries  as 
to  where  stock  was  to  be  obtained.  Ad- 
vertisers have  frequent  opportunity  to 
turn  to  good  account  the  interest  in  their 
specialties  sure  to  be  cteated  by  articles 
in  the  Review. 


STATE  OF  BUSINESS. 

Bradstreet  's  Mercantile  Agency  reports 
as  follows  on  the  state  of  general  busi- 
ness: 

*  *  Trade    conditions    continue    to    im-

prove.  Dry  goods,  millinery,  hats  and 
caps,  and,  in  fact,  all  wearing  apparel, 
are  in  the  forefront  as  regards  activity, 
an  early  Easter  making  for  an  early 
opening  of  spring  trade.  In  such  lines 
as  cotton  goods,  gome  of  which  tend  to 
further  advances,  it  is  not  a  question  of 
procuring  business,  but  rather  one  of 
making  deliveries  on  orders  booked 
months  ago. 

"As  regards  manufacturing  lines,  it 
is  the  old  story  of  heavily  filled  order 
books  and  of  capacity  being  worked  to 
the  utmost,  despite  which  deliveries  are 
backward.  Collections,  though  satisfac- 
tory in  some  lines,  are,  on  the  whole, 
backward,  the  tightness  of  money  and 
the  enormous  volume  of  business  out- 
standing being  the  main  factors." 


Pittsburg  has  an  all-night   florist. 

The  post-office  department  has  re- 
scinded its  recent  ruling  against  detach- 
able advertisements  and  coupons  in  ad- 
vertisements and  will  shortly  promulgate 
a  ruling  with  regard  to  their  permissible 
size. 

THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Mrs*  Minnie  G.  Bunde. 

Mrs.  Minnie  G.  Bunde,  wife  of  A.  H. 
Bunde,  St.  Paul's  oldest  florist,  died 
March  4,  at  her  home,  162  Tenth  street. 
The  deceased  had  never  known  good 
health  since  the  sudden  death  of  her 
daughter,  four  years  ago. 

Mrs.  Bunde  was  born  in  Dunkirk, 
N.  Y.,  and  removed  to  St.  Paul  in  1868. 
She  is  survived  by  her  husband  two  sons, 
William  G.  and  Philip  C.  Bunde.  The 
funeral  took  place  March  6,  from  the 
residence.     Interment  was  at  Oakland. 

Arlene  Ratekin. 

Arlene,  the  6-year-old  daughter  of  J. 
W.  Ratekin,  Shenandoah,  In.,  died  March 
4,  of  strychnine  poisoning,  a  short  time 
after  taking  some  of  the  drug  she  had 
found  in  the  house.  When  found  she 
was  dying,  and  although  a  pliysician  was 
called  immediately  there  was  no  chance 
of  saving  the  little  girl's  life.  J.  W. 
Ratekin  is  a  well-known  seed  merchant 
with  a  large  establishment  in  Shenan- 
doah. 

Bartholomew  Menke. 

Bartholomew  Menke,  an  aged  florist 
at  Hope,  Ind.,  is  dead,  having  expired 
March  7,  after  a  long  illness.  Mr. 
Menke  was  a  native  of  Prussia,  but  lo- 
cated at  Hope  in  his  early  manhood, 
where  for  a  number  of  years  he  was  the 
florist  and  gardner  for  the  Moravian 
college. 

Lawrence  Heinl. 

The  passing  of  Lawrence  Heinl  at  his 
home  in  Terre  Haute,  Ind.,  occurred 
March  1.  He  was  born  in  Austria  in 
1840  and  came  to  America  when  x-x. 
years  of  age.  He  located  in  Terre  Haute 
in  1863.  Mr.  Heinl  was  not  only  a  vet- 
eran florist  but  also  a  veteran  of  the 
War  of  the  Rebellion.  Hfe  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Nineteenth  Indiana  Battery 
and  served  with  credit  until  wounded  at 
Perryville,  Ky.,  when  he  was  honorably 
discharged. 

The  funeral  was  conducted  from  the 
residence  by  the  Terre  Haute  Comma  nd- 
ery  No.  16,  Knights  Templar;  Morton 
Post  No.  1,  G.  A.  R. ;  Eastern  Star, 
Terre  Haute  Lodge  No.  19,  F.  and  A.  M., 
also  attended.  Mr,  Heinl  is  survived  by 
a  widow  and  three  brothers:  Joseph,  of 
Jacksonville,  111.;  George,  of  Toledo,  O., 
and  John  G.,  of  Terre  Haute. 

Villiam  Griffin. 

William  Griffin,  for  years  a  member  of 
the  firm  of  Griffin  Bros.,  of  Frankford, 
Pa.,  died  March  7  at  his  home,  No.  4915 
Willow  street,  after  a  long  illness.  He 
was  58  years  old  and  had  lived  in  Frank- 
ford  all  his  life.  He  retired  from  active 
business  some  time  ago  and  spent  several 

^  months  in   Europe  in  search   of   health. 

'  He  .was  a  member  of  the  school  board  of 
the  twenty-third  section  and  a  vestryman 
of  St.  Mark's  P.  E.  Church.  He  was 
buried  on  Monday  afternoon  with  Ma- 
sonic, honors.  The  services  were  held 
in  St.  Mark's  Church.  A  widow  survives 
him.  ^

CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market 

The  market  was  decidedly  weak  March 
6  and  7,  but  on  Friday  a  large  number 
of  big  orders  for  cheap  stock  for  special 
sales  served  to  clean  up  the  accumula- 
tion in  fair  shape,  and  put  a  more  en- 
couraging aspect  on  affairs.  Monday 
always  is  a  day  which  gives  the  whole- 
salers high  hopes  for  the  week.  Ke- 
cently  Tuesday  and  Wednesday  have 
dashed  these  hopes,  but  the  indications 
now  are  that  the  approach  of  Easter 
will  have  a  stimulating  effect.  It  may 
not  be  that  the  demand  will  at  once 
increase  appreciably,  but  already  a  re- 
duction in  supply  is  noted.  It  is  stated 
that  this  is  due  entirely  to  crops  having 
passed  their  height,  but  for  the  next 
fortnight  it  may  be  expected  that  grow- 
ers will  be  bringing  in  nothing  more 
than   is   necessary.     They   will,    without 


doubt,  do  what  they  safely  may  to  ac- 
cumulate supplies   for  Easter. 

Beauties  are  not  abundant,  but  there 
is  no  great  demand  for  them.  While 
rose  crops  are  slightly  less  than  a  week 
ago,  the  supply  of  better  grades  is 
slightly  ahead  of  the  demand,  for  the 
principal  call  seems  to  be  for  cheaper 
stock  in  quantity.  The  quality  of  roses 
is  excellent  with  practically  all  growers. 

The  receipts  of  carnations  are  not  so 
heavy  this  week  as  last,  but  are  fully 
equal  to  all  requirements.  One  whole- 
saler stated  that  last  week  he  handled 
more  carnations  than  in  any  week  in 
June  last  year.  It  is  no  wonder  cheap 
sales  are  made.  The  crop  of  splits  is 
lighter  now  and  quality  generally  is 
all  that  one  could  ask.  Enchantress  has 
brought  no  more  than  good  white  in 
the  last  week  and  the  prospects  are  that 
white  the  latter  part  of  this  week,  for 
dyeing  for  St.  Patrick's  day,  will  com- 
mand a  premium.  The  dealers  in  dye  all 
report  a  large  business. 


The  receipts  of  violets  have  fallen  off, 
but  quality  also  has  retrograded.  It 
looks  as  though  the  sepson  will  end 
shortly  after  Easter.  Prices  are  just  a 
trifle  better  than  last  week;  the  top 
prices  no  higher,  but  the  low  prices  not 
quite  so  bad. 

The  crops  of  Eomans  and  Paper 
Whites  are  out  of  the  way  earlier  this 
year  than  usual.  Few  now  are  seen.  No 
great  quantities  of  daffodils  or  jonquils 
obstruct  the  market.  Callas  sometimes 
go  to  waste.  There  now  are  plenty  of 
longiflorum.  Sweet  peas  are  doing  well. 
Valley  is  abundant.  Some  fancy  migno- 
nette is  selling  well. 

(ireen  goods  would  better  be  ordered  a 
day  in  advance,  if  possible. 

Easter  Prospects. 

The  wholesalers  have  been  busy  can- 
vassing the  Easter  prospects.  They  find 
that  most  of  the  lilies  will  be  ready;  in 
fact,  there  are  more  plants  that  are  a 
little  bit  early  than  there  are  which  need

hard  forcing.  Quality  will  be  nothing  to 
brag  of  in  most  cases.  It  looks  as 
though  good  liUes  might  command  a 
premium  as  Easter  approaches  but  that 
there  will  be  plenty  others  which  wijl 
stand  a  long  time  awaiting  a  purchaser. 
Several  of  the  largest  growers  report 
that  they  will  be  reauy  with  special 
crops  of  Beauties  for  Easter.  Other 
stocit  will  be  in  about  the  normal  sup- 
ply, but  not  in  such  heavy  supply  as  a 
year  ago,  when  Easter  was  two  weeks 
later. 

Reinberg  Changes  Base. 

Several  years  ago  Peter  Eeinberg,  with 
an  eye  to  the  future,  bought  a  farm  a 
couple  of  miles  northwest  of  his  present 
location  and  it  has  been  understood  that 
eventually  he  would  remove  his  base  of 
operations  from  the  old  stand,  where  land 
commands  a  premium.  Arrangements 
have  been  made  for  a  sidetrack  and  500 
boxes  of  glass  have  been  ordered  for  the 
start  of  the  new  range  there.  Plans 
have  not  been  completed,  but  it  may  be 
foreseen  that  a  big  modern  plant  will  be 
the  outcome. 

Various  Notes. 

The  supremacy  of  the  great  central 
market  and  the  possibilities  which  lie  in 
united  effort  for  the  common  weal  were 
the  themes  Tuesday  evening,  March  12, 
at  the  banquet  of  the  Chicago  Commer- 
cial Association  at  the  Coliseum,  where 
2,100  business  men,  each  with  a  pink  car- 
nation in  his  buttonhole,  attended  what 
was  undoubtedly  the  biggest  banquet  ever 
given  in  this  country.  The  250  waiters 
went  on  strike  just  as  the  guests  were 
seated,    but    instead    of    giving    in    the 


diners  repaired  to  the  kitchens  and  served 
themselves,  so  the  affair  was  thoroughly 
typical  of  Chicago. 

H.  N.  Bruns  sent  a  display  of  lily  of 
the  valley  to  the  St.  Lojjis  show  last 
week  and,  as  usual,  took  first  prize. 

N.  J.  Wietor  spent  this  week  visiting 
Eichmond,   Columbus   and  Cleveland. 

The  wife  of  Duncan  Eobinson,  of  E. 
Wienhoeber's  staff,  is  ill  in  the  Passa- 
vant  hospital. 

The  A.  L.  Eandall  Co.  this  week  re- 
ceived a  large  importation  of  German 
Easter  novelties.  They  came  just  in 
time,  for  some  of  them  have  yet  to  reach 
the  Pacific  coast. 

Arthur  Dietsch  has  sold  the  Winandy 
place  to  jfohn  Becker,  a  lettuce  grower 
at  Evanston,  who  took  possession  last 
week.  Zech  &  Mann  handle  the  stock 
as  heretofore. 

C.  W.  McKellar  is  receiving  some  nice 
spikes  of  the  Beauty  of  Nice  stock. 
They  sell  well. 

Joe  Beaver  is  now  with  J.  L.  Raske, 
on   Jackson   boulevard. 

Bassett  &  Washburn  have  on  exhi- 
bition some  blooms  of  a  longiflorum 
which  Henry  &  Lee  call  the  Togo  lily. 
It  is  a  longiflorum  grown  in  the  north 
of  Japan  and  has  a  heavy  texture  and 
every  evidence  of  health  and  vigor.  It 
is  to  be  regretted  that  the  north  of 
Japan  does  not  produce  liUes  in  quan- 
tity. 

E.  C.   Amling  says  one  of  his   grow-' 
ers  will  be  ready  with  a  special  crop  of 
mignonette  for  Easter. 

Mons  Olson  is  the  latest  addition  to 
the  staff  at  the  store  of  the  Poehlmann 
Bros.  Co. 

George    Eeinberg   is    almost   ready   to 


plant  six  houses  of  American  Beauties. 
He  expects  to  get  at  it  the  latter  part 
of  this  week,  rather  earlier  than  ever 
before. 

N.  C.  Moore  &  Co.  say  their  lilies  will 
be  better  than  usual  this  year  and  that 
they  are  now  carrying  them  as  cool  as 
possible,  for  they  are  in  ample  time. 

C.  M.  Dickinson,  at  Hunt's,  says  that 
if  the  present  demand  for  To-bak-ine 
products  is  any  indication,  the  growers 
will  have  a  strenuous  time  this  spring 
fighting  insects.  He  says  the  call  for 
To-bak-ine  comes  from  every  corner  of 
the  country  and  is  heavier  than  ever 
before. 

This  is  club  night.  It  is  hoped  there 
will  be  a  large  attendance. 

John  Sinner  was  at  Joliet  last  week 
and  was  much  pleased  with  the  Condi- 
tion of  stock  with  the  Chicago  Carna- 
tion Co.  He  says  that  Mr.  Pyfer  told 
him  that  by  the  end  of  the  season  they 
expect  to  have  propagated  half  a  mil- 
lion cuttings  of  Aristocrat. 

The  Benthey-Coatsworth  Co.  is  ex- 
perimenting with  a  cork  linoleum  table 
cover.  It  looks  as  though  it  would  be 
just  the  thing  for  retailers  to  use  to 
cover  their  work-tables. 

W,  E.  Wadsworth,  at  one  time  with 
Lange  and  later  in  charge  of  Muir's 
Forty-seventh  street  store,  has  gone  to 
St.  Louis  to  enter  the  employ  of  Fred 
C.  Weber. 

Fred  Sperry,  of  Vaughan  &  Sperry, 
says  they  are  well  satisfied  with  the 
quality  of  lilies  and  that  theirs  are 
plenty  early. 

P.  J.  Hauswirth,  secretary  of  the 
S.  A.  F.,  went  to  Philadelphia  last  Fri- 
day to  be  on  hand  for  the  executive  com-

Peter  Keinberg's  people  all  stand  by 
Chatenay.  They  may  be  credited  with 
the  discovery  of  its  commercial  possi- 
bilities. 

One  of  the  wagons  of  the  George 
Wittbold  Co.  broke  an  axle  last  Satur- 
day while  on  the  way  downtown  with 
three  rush  orders  for  retail  florists.  The 
plants  were  badly  broken  up.  The  Witt- 
bolds  have  some  big  decorations  on  this 
week,  notably  that  of  C.  A.  Stevens  & 
Bro.  and  at  the  Altenheim,  with  a  dozen 
smaller  ones  between  now  and  Easter.

ally  is  on  duty  from  7  a.  m.  to  8  p.  m. 
every  week  day. 

E.  E.  Pieser,  of  Kennicott's,  says  they 
already  are  figuring  on  peonies  for 
spring  and  expect  to  break  all  records 
for  business  done  with  them. 

P.  C.  Schupp,  at  J.  A.  Budlong's, 
says  the  correspondence  about  Easter 
orders  has  begun  earUer  than  last  year. 

Miss  Hattie  E.  Carlson,  on  Jackson 
boulevard,  is  doing  a  nice  business,  and 
deserves  it,  for  she  is  a  hard  worker 
and  carries  a  good  stock. 

Fred  Lautenschlager,  of  Kroeschell's, 
was  at  Milwaukee  last  week  and  sold 
boilers  to  heat  90,000  square  feet  of 
glass. 

Killarney  is  beginning  to  give  its 
spring    crop     with     Weiland     &     Risch. 


They  have  sold  out  on  young  stock  very 
quickly. 

A  part  of  the  troubles  of  the  manu- 
facturers of  greenhouse  building  mate- 
rial is  in  getting  cars  for  prompt  ship- 
ment. They  all  report  orders  received 
to  date  as  being  ahead  of  the  business 
booked  at  this  time  last  year. 

John  Thorpe  takes  his  pen  in  hand 
to  tell  the  readers  of  the  Daily  News 
all  about  Easter  flowers. 

There  .have  been  many  visitors  in 
town  this  week,  among  them  Axel  Ag- 
gerholm,  manager  of  the  Mosbaek 
Greenhouse  Co.,  Onarga,  111.;  C.  H. 
Chapin,  El  Reno,  Okla.;  Hermann  Thie- 
mann, the  dahlia  grower  at  Belchertown, 
Mass.,  who  is  looking  for  a  western  loca- 
tion, and  several  others.

ST.  LOUIS. 

The  Market 

The   market   conditions   were    satisfac- 
tory  last   week.      The   retail   trade,   too, 
was  good  all  over  the  city.    Some  of  the 
large  establishments  say  it  was  surpris- 
ingly large  in  all  kinds  of  work.    Among 
the    downtown    florists    prices    are    low. 
Some  claim  they  are  disposing  of  some 
4,000    or    5,000    carnations    every    day. 
Those   located   in   the    central  part   and 
west  end  are  also  using  large  amounts  of 
stock  each  day  and  at  much  better  prices. 
One  of  the  features  of  the  market  last 
week  was  that  roses  were  more  plentiful 
in  all  varieties,  and  the  wholesalers  re- 
port that  from  now  on  until  after  Easter 
they  look  for  a  large  supply  in  almost 
everything.     Prices  are  not  so   high   on 
roses  and  carnations  as  they  have  been, 
only  the  extra  select  being  up  in  price. 

Carnations  are  plentiful  in  all  grades 
at  all  commission  houses  and  the  demand 
is  large.  Violets  were  not  so  many  Mon- 
day morning.     It  may  be  that  the  grow- 


ers are  holding  them  back  for  Easter. 
Bulbous  stock  is  in  large  supply  and  of 
the  finest  quality.  Callas  and  lily  of  the 
valley  are  too  many  at  present.  Dutch 
hyacinths  are  selling  well,  also  Von  Sion 
and  tulips.  Harrisii  and  longiflorum  are 
scarce  at  present.  More  are  looked  for 
by  next  week.  Smilax  has  a  good  call, 
also  all  other  greens. 

Vixioiu  Notet. 

S.  S.  Skidelsky,  of  Philadelphia,  vis- 
ited Edwardsville  and  Belleville  last 
week,  calling  on  the  trade  at  those  places. 

Pierre  Schneider,  head  man  for  the 
Oakland  Floral  Co.,  at  East  Kirkwood, 
reports  that  the  company  will  put  up  a 
number  of  new  houses  for  roses  this 
spring.  They  made  a  grand  success  of 
carnations  this,  their  first  year. 

The  Foster  Floral  Co.  will  move,  April 
],  from  its  present  quarters  to  612  Olive 
street.  The  new  location  years  ago  was 
occupied  by  the  Jordan  Floral  Co. 

Frank  Fillmore  reports  that  he  will 
give  up  growing  roses  after  this  year,  as 


the  surroundings  are  not  adapted  to  suc- 
cessful rose  growing.  The  big  house  will 
be  put  into  carnations,  as  these  are  doing 
nicely  in  all  the  other  houses.  The  grow- 
ing of  market  plants  will  also  be  don© 
away  with.  His  retail  store,  a  few 
blocks  away,  is  now  doing  a  nice  cut 
flower  trade. 

Beyer  Bros,  have  a  fine  lot  of  blooming 
plants  for  Easter.  Their  bulb  stock  is 
grand. 

F.  Meinhardt,  father  of  Fred  H.  Mein- 
hardt,  has  been  very  ill  but  is  much  im- 
proved. 

Judging  from  the  stock  shown  by  our 
local  growers  at  the  spring  flower  show 
held  last  week,  the  local  buyers  will  have 
a  fine  lot  of  blooming  plants  for  Easter 
sales. 

The  Florists'  Club  meeting  for  this 
week  Thursday  afternoon  should  be  well 
attended.  A  great  amount  of  business 
is  to  be  transacted. 

George  Waldbart's  place  is  somewhat 
blocked  up,  owing  to  a  large  building 
being  erected   at   the    corner.     But  Mr.

Current  Comment. 

Business  is  brisk  in  plants  at  the  mar- 
ket. Cut  flowers  are  in  good  demand. 
Our  roses  are  abundant  and  good. 

O.  Werner,  formerly  associated  with 
F.  &  O.  Ziegler,  has  moved  over  to  J. 
Fonta's,  opposite. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Society  of  South- 
ern Florists,  held  March  7,  the  business 
of  the  annual  convention  was  terminated 


and  after  all  expenses  were  paid  Treas- 
urer Joseph  Stockier  reported  a  nice  bal- 
ance in  favor   of  the  association, 

J.  A.  Ncwsham  has  purchased  C. 
Hoist's  place.  The  location  is  a  choice 
one  for  business,  being  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  several  cemeteries.  No  doubt 
in  tlie  hands  of  the  new  proprietor  the 
place  will  prosper  and  tliat  is  the  wish  of 
his  many  friends.  Mr.  Newsham  is  re- 
ceiving his  first  consignment  of  orchids 
from  Central  America.  m.  M.  L.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising  Eastern  Market. 

It  is  diflScult  to  give  an  accurate  idea 
of   existing   conditions.     The   market   is 
fair;  possibly  a  little  better  than  a  week 
ago.    Prices  are  excellent,  when  obtained, 
but  many  really  fine  fiowers  deteriorate 
to  lower  grades  through  lack  of  active 
demand.      Beauties    continue    extremely 
scarce,  the  price  obtained  being   far  in 
excess  of  that  of  any  previous  year  in 
March.    But  it  is  doubtful  if  any  of  the 
gprowers  is  realizing  as  much  from  his 
Beauty  houses  at  these  fancy  figures  as 
he  did  in  other  seasons,  when  production 
was  so  much  larger.     The  extra  and  me- 
dium grades  are  still  conspicuous  by  their 
absence,  though  a  few  dozens  can  occa- 
sionally be  obtained.    Shorts  are  improv- 
ing.     Bride,    Maid,    Eichmond,   Liberty, 
Chatenay,    Gate    and    Killarney    are    all 
very  fine,  especially  the  first  three.     But 
the  stock   does  not  average   as  high  as 
listed  quotations.    Carnations  have  fallen 
in  price.     The  quality  is  fine.     Enchan- 
tress  and    white   seem   the   best    sellers. 
Bed  is  diflBcult  to  market.     There  is  no 
demand  for  Lawson.    Sweet  peas  are  ex- 
traordinarily plentiful  and  many  lots  of 
really  good  flowers  remain  unsold.    Prices 
are   absurdly   low.     Valley  is   fine,   and 
very  plentiful.     The  demand,  though  ex- 
cellent,  is   hardly   equal   to    the   supply. 
Cattleya  Schrcederae  has  made  its  appear- 
ance in  quantity  and   is  fine.     Dendro- 
biums  and  spray  orchids  are  also  in  evi- 
dence.    Gardeni&s  are  deteriorating  a  lit- 
tle.    Calla  lilies  are  in  good  supply  and 
Easter   lilies   are  increasing   in  number. 
The  situation  in  bulbous  flowers  is  un- 
satisfactory.   Many  are  wasted  and  many 
sold  for  a  song.  Curiously  enough,  greens 
appear    to    be    selling   better    than    cut 
flowers.     Violets  are  not  in  especial  de- 
mand; prices  are  low  and  irregular. 

Easter  Plants. 
It  is  a  recognized  fact  that  the  Robert 
Craig  Co.  has  the  largest  stock  of  Easter 
plants  grown  in  or  near  Philadelphia. 
Almost  all  its  houses  are  devoted  to  pro- 
ducing blooming  stock  for  this  great 
church  holiday.  A  visit  to  the  place  is 
full  of  interest.  The  staples,  so  to  speak, 
are  azaleas, Which  fill  house  after  house.

They   are   chiefly   in    6-inch   and    7-inch 
pots,  splendid  plants,  well  furnished  with 
buds.    The  timing  is  reduced  to  a  science, 
so  that  it  gives  Mr.  Craig  little  uneasi- 
ness.   Next  in  importance  come  the  lilies, 
which  fill  a  couple  of  houses.     They  are 
stocky  plants,  well  budded  and  in  healthy 
condition.    Spiraea  Gladstone  is  probably 
the  next  most  important  of  the  blooming 
plants.    The  stock  when  I  saw  it  was  not 
suflSciently  advanced  for  one  to  be  able 
to  tell  just  how  they  would  look  when 
finished,  but  Mr.  Craig's  skill,  and  the 
good    qualities   of    this   sterling   variety 
make  it  easy  to  guess  that  they  will  be  in 
fine  shape  before  these  lines  see  print.- 
English  hawthorn  was  one  of  the  novel- 
ties that  interested  me  greatly.     A  lim- 
ited   quantity   is    grown    to    good    sized 
specimens.     Among  the  roses,  great   in- 
terest centers  in  Lady  Gay  and  Dorothy 
Perkins,  which  are  this  season  made  spe- 


cialties alongside  the  well-known  Crimson 
Rambler.  All  three  varieties  were  nicely 
set  with  buds,  giving  promise  of  fine 
specimens  before  Easter.  A  house  that 
interested  me  very  much  was  filled  with 
daisies;  Queen  Alexandra  was  there  in 
fine  form,  and  opposite  to  it  Nicholson's 
Pride,  a  long-stemmed  variety,  more  use- 
ful for  cut  flowers  than  the  Queen,  but 
less  shapely  for  pot  culture.  Hydrangea  ' 
Otaksa,  genistas,  and  bulbous  flowers 
complete  an  assortment  that  is  worth  go- 
ing a  long  way  to  see.  Mr.  Craig  is,  as 
is  well  known,  making  a  specialty  of 
Ficus  pandurata,  which  he  does  in  fine 
shape.  Gardenias  are  also  an  interesting 
specialty  here. 

Various  Notes. 

H,  Bayersdorfer  &  Co.  are  expecting 
large  shipments  of  Easter  stock  by  the 
steamers    Arcadia,    Marquette    and    Me-

NEir  YORK. 


TheMaricet 


History  repeats  itself  sometimes.  It 
has  been  exactly  nineteen  years  since 
the  great  blizzard  knocked  out  New 
York.  The  anniversary  -was  a  repetiton 
of  the  storm  on  a  smaller  scale.  All 
day  Sunday  and  far  into  the  night  the 
beautiful  came  down,  but  next  Friday 
the  ground-hog  prediction  will  have  been 
fulfilled  and  the  winter  over.  Judging 
by  the  opening  of  the  week,  it  might 
last  a  month  longer  and  yet  Easter  is 
only  a  little  more  than  a  fortnight 
away.  Little  enough  time  to  prepare  for 
the   great   festival. 

The  sunlight  of  the  latter  part  of 
last  week  filled  everyone  with  hope.  A 
few  more  days  like  Saturday  and  there 
will  be  no  further  complaint  of  short 
supply  of  roses.  In  fact,  the  growers 
now  assert  that  there  will  be  enough  and 
to  spare  of  everything  for  Easter  and 
that  prices  cannot  advance  to  unrea- 
sonable figures.  Just  now  40  cents 
looks  large  for  violets  and  thousands  of 
fresh  ones  go  at  25  cents  per  hundred. 
Over  the  cleaning  up  process  the  morn- 
ing after  it  is  better  to  cast  the  veil  of 
silence.  Anybody  could  have  afforded 
a  pall  of  violets  last  week.  There  was 
not  a  funeral  piece  made  that  did  not 
have  violets  in  it.  Most  of  the  designs 
were-  violet  wreaths  and  crosses  and  on 
the  streets  the  Athenians  certainly  did 
their  share  in  popularizing  the  modest 
flower.  . 

The  street  merchants  were  offering 
valley  in  large  quantities  Saturday.  The 
best  was  sold  no  higher  than  $2  and  fine 


stock  fell  to  $1.50.  Narcissi  were  every- 
where. The  outdoor  display  made  the 
corners  of  the  principal  streets  very 
springlike. 

Carnations  show  no  improvement  in 
price,  though  the  quality  grows  con- 
stantly better.  On  Saturday  the  green 
carnation  will  close  its  career.  At  best, 
it  is  a  mongrel,  but  there  must  be  a 
call  for  it  else  the  supply  houses  would 
not  dispose  of  such  quantities  of  dye. 

All  roses,  except  Beauties,  displayed  a 
downward  tendency  last  week  and  yet  $3 
per  hundred  was  about  the  bottom  for 
the  shortest.  The  best  American  Beau- 
ties held  strong  at  $9  per  dozen.  They 
may  double  this  for  Easter  if  the  short 
supply    continues. 

With  such  a  supply  of  blooming- 
plants  as  is  already  assured  there  can 
be  no  abnormal  rise  in  cut  flower  prices 
and  the  picklers,  if  there  be  any  left, 
will  get  what  they  deserve.  It  won 't 
pay  this  year  to  ship  aged  goods  of  any 
kind  to  the  New  York  market. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  club  meeting  Monday  evening  was 
one  of  the  best.  Over  fifty  members  were 
present  and  many  visitors.  President 
Totty  occupied  the  chair.  Mr.  Sheridan 
made  the  report  for  the  dinner  commit- 
tee. The  outing  committee  announced 
progress,  with  a  palatial  steamer  secured 
and  the  date  fixed,  July  2,  for  the  sum- 
mer festival.  A  motion  to  appropriate 
$100  for  contests  at  the  outing,  after  a 
discussion  participated  in  by  Messrs. 
O'Mara,  Atkins,  Weathered,  Scott,  Gutt- 
man  and  others,  was  defeated.  Four  gen- 
tlemen proposed  at  the  last  meeting  were 
elected  to  membership  and  Messrs.  Geo. 


Baldwin  and  Mr.  Bolles  were  proposed. 

Mr.  Wallace,  in  behalf  of  the  club, 
presented  a  handsome  diamond  pin  to  the 
retiring  president,  Mr.  John  Scott,  as  a 
token  of  the  appreciation  of  his  fellow 
members  and  a  tangible  recognition  of 
his  faithful  service.  Mr.  Scott  was  com- 
pletely surprised  and  spoke  feelingly  of 
the  loyalty  and  appreciation  of  the  club 
during  his  occupancy  of  the  chair  and  of 
the  pleasure  it  had  afforded  him. 

The  resignation  of  John  J.  Phelps  was 
accepted  with  regret. 

Julius  Koehrs,  Jr.,  the  recently  elected 
trustee  of  the  club,  made  his  maiden  ad- 
dress, promising  devotion  and  good 
service  and  expressing  apijreciation  of 
the  honor. 

A.  J.  Guttman  proposed  that  the  board 
of  trustees  and  the  oflScers  of  the  club 
be  empowered  to  devise  ways  and  means 
for  providing  a  suitable  home  for  the 
club.  He  was  seconded  by  P.  O'Mara 
and  by  President  Totty,  whose  ambition 
is  the  comfortable  and  permanent  hous- 
ing of  the  club  during  his  incumbency. 
C.  B.  Weathered  also  spoke  in  behalf  of 
the  enterprise. 

John  Birnie  gave  a  practical  and  in- 
teresting address  on  *  *  The  Needs  of  New 
York  as  Regards  a  Plant  Market,  in 
which  he  referred  to  the  remissness  of 
the  city  and  the  "crying  need"  of  a 
market  in  New  York,  declaring  it  is 
of  vital  importance  to  the  florists'  busi- 
ness and  dwelling  upon  the  missionary 
influence  of  plants  in  every  household. 
He  said  10,000  square  :^eet  of  space  is 
needed  and  a  place  where  seasonable 
plants  can  be  displayed  and  sold  all  the 
year  around.

A,  Jaenecke,  of  Floral  Park,  spoke  of 
the  fine  plant  markets  in  the  large  cities 
of  Europe  and  declared  it  shameful  that 
New  York  should  be  without  one.  Mr. 
O'Mara  spoke  of  the  Gansvoort  market 
and  the  hope  that  the  city  would  use  the 
site  for  the  erection  of  a  large  and  suit- 
able building  in  which  a  great  plant  mar- 
ket was  to  be  included.  Mr.  Daly  an- 
nounced the  impossibility  of  using  the 
old  plant  market  this  year. 

The  award  committee,  which  visited 
Anton  Zvolanek's  plant  at  Bound  Brook, 
N.  J.,  last  month,  reported  the  awarding 
of  several  certificates  of  merit  to  the  new 
varieties  of  sweet  peas  investigated, 
Messrs.  Duckham,  Pye  and  Manda  at- 
tending. 

The  award  committee  made  its  report 
upon  the  splendid  exhibits  of  the  even- 
ing: 

Vase  of  crimson  seedling  carnations, 
from  A.  Demeusy,  of  Flatbush,  already 
awarded  a  preliminary  certificate. 

Vase  of  Carnation  Mrs.  Eobert  Harts- 
horne,  from  Malachi  Tierney,  of  High- 
lands, N.  Y.,  scored  eighty  points,  a 
beautiful  scarlet,  strong  grower  and  per- 
fect calyx. 

Vase  of  Kaiserin  roses,  from  E.  H. 
Pye,  Nyack,  N.  Y.,  cultural  certificate. 

Vase  of  pink  roses,  Aurora,  from  Paul 
Niehoff,  of  Lehighton,  Pa.,  cultural  cer- 
tificate. 

Eose  Queen  Beatrice,  from  F.  H.

F.  H.  Kramer,  of  Washington,  who 
brought  100  fine  specimens  of  his  new 
rose.  Queen  Beatrice,  spoke  interestingly 
of  it,,  and  said  many  of  the  roses  had 
already  been  exhibited  at  the  Phila- 
delphia meeting  a  week  ago  and 
that  none  of  the  flowers  shown  had  been 
out  less  than  three  days  before.  The 
exhibit  was  a  remarkable  one  and  under 
electric  light  the  rose  made  a  splendid 
showing. 

H.  Weezenaar,  of  Hillegom,  Holland, 
gave  a  vivid  address  on  bulb  growing 
that  held  the  interest  of  the  audience  to 
its  close.

The  rose  convention  at  Washington  is 
exciting  a  great  deal  of  local  inter§st 
and  a  good  many  from  New  York  and

The  venerable  Dr.  F.  M.  Hexamer, 
president  of  the  Farmers'  Club,  has  re- 
gained his  health  and  is  a  regular  at- 
tendant at  the  lectures  of  the  American 
Institute,  where  Henry  Siebrecht,  Sr., 
talks  March  27. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jurgens,  of  Newport, 
were  visiting  friends  in  this  city  last 
>  week.  Mr.  Jurgens'  shipments  of  val- 
ley and  other  cut  flowers  to  New  York

Wm.  Hagemann  has  returned  from  a 
western  trip  and  reports  business  double 
that  of  last  year.  He  will  soon  enjoy 
a  prolonged  trip  in  Europe. 

Eeed  &  Keller  report  an  unprecedented 
call  for  their  carnation  dye.  Their  list 
of  Easter  novelties  is  larger  and  more 
interesting  than  ever.  It's  a  cold  week 
when  Mr.  Eeed's  inventive  genius  is  not 
working  in  behalf  of  the  florist. 

Lion  &  Co.  have  over  thirty  varieties 
in  chiffon  novelties  to  offer  this  year 
for  the  Easter  trade,  a  great  increase 
above  last  season's  supply. 

All  the  ribbon  men  are  overwhelmed 
with  business.  Schloss  Bros,  are  com- 
plaining of  too  much  night  work,  but 
they  cannot  fill  their  orders  without  it. 
Emil  Schloss  has  just  completed  a  west- 
«ern  trip,  ahead  of  all  past  records. 

Sidney  Wertheimer,  of  Wertheimer 
Bros.,  now  at  550  Broadway,  returned 
from  Europe  last  Saturday  and  has  a 
profusion  of  European  novelties  to  offer.

The  new  store  is  a  model  of  convenience

over  500  American  Beauty  roses,  1,000

It  was  over  six  feet  in  height  and  gave

Henshaw  Bros. '  new  rose,  cerise  pink,

The  Summit  wagon  express  gave  up 
the  fight  because  of  Sunday's  storm  and 
flowers  from  Jersey  were  late  and  had 
to  come  in  by  express.  There  was  a 
large  shipment  of  roses  Monday  and 
prices  fell  with  quite  a  thud. 

The  retail  windows  are  now  things  of 
beauty.  In  fact,  decoration  of  this  kind 
is  now  a  necessity  for  any  who  would 
do  a  first-class  trade.

let grower  near  this  place,  was  severely 
injured  March  2  by  being  thrown  from  . 
the  platform  of  a  car  of  the  Chester 
Traction  Co.  bound  for  Media.  The 
shock  resulted  in  a  severe  contusion,  a

ternal injuries. 


TROUBLE  WITH  FERNS. 

I  am  troubled  with  a  small  white  bug 
on  my  fern  plants.  It  works  on  the 
tips  of  young  fronds  and  seems  to  kill 
them,  some  fronds  having  as  many  as 
ten  bugs  on  them.  I  would  like  to  know 
what  it  is  and  how  to  get  rid  of  it. 
L.  L.  W. 

We   do   not  know   of   any   white   bug 
which   affects   ferns   in   the  manner   de- 
scribed.    The  white  fly,  about  which  so 
much    has    been    written,    is    sometimes 
very    troublesome    on     nephrolepis     and 
other   species.     Fumigation   with   hydro- 
cyanic acid  gas  has  frequently  been  de- 
scribed in  the  Review,  and,  if  carefully 
done,  little  injury  need  result.     In  sum- 
mer when   the  temperature   runs  higher 
there  is  greater  danger.     If  the  pest  is 
not  the  white  fly  we  wouW  like  to  have 
a  sample  sent  in  an  envelope  for  identi- 
fication. C.  W.

THE  LAST  CROP  OF  LETTUCE. 

If  the  last  crop  of  the  season  has  not 
been  got  into  the  benches,  it  should  be 
done  now,  without  delay.  Where  a  gen- 
eral stock  is  grown  this  crop  is  usually 
omitted,  as  the  room  can  be  utilized  to" 
bettor  advantage  for  general  bedding 
material.  A  nice  thing  to  have  in  a 
case  like  this  is  a  good  supply  of  cold- 
frames.  In  an  average  season  lettuce 
can  be  planted  about,  or  even  before, 
this  date  in  coldframes  and  kept  com- 
fortably warm  by  covering,  but  in  a 
season  like  this,  with  so  much  zero 
weather  even  in  March,  not  much  could 
be  gained  by  planting  early.  Though 
'the  sun  is  strong  enough  to  heat  the 
frames  up  well  through  the  day,  it 
would  take  a  great  deal  of  covering  to 
keep  the  frost  out,  even  if  the  frames 
were  shut  up  early  and  all  possible  heat 
reserved.  "• 

The  greenhouse  crop  will  require  a 
good  deal  more  water  now  than  it  did 
■earlier  in  the  season  and,  although  there 
is  less  danger  of  an  overabundance  of 
atmospheric  moisture,  nevertheless  judg- 
ment should  be  used  in  its  application. 
Water  should  always  be  applied  early 
in  the  day,  so  that  the  moisture  will  be 
well  dried  up  before  night.  On  mild 
nights,  a  little  air  should  be  left  on 
from  this  out,  if  someone  is  in  close 
touch  with  the  house,  so  that  the  venti- 
lators could  be  closed  in  the  case  of  a 
sudden  change.  March  weather  is  an  un- 
certain proposition  and  sudden  changes 
must  be  looked  for  and  guarded  against. 
Greenfly  is  apt  to  put  in  its  appear- 
ance frequently  and  should  be  checked 
as  soon  as  seen.  Tobacco  fumigation  is 
about  the  simplest  and  easiest  means  of 
keeping  it  down,  only  it  has  to  be  done 
frequently  to  be  effective.  Tlie  variety 
of  greenfly  that  affect^  lettuce  is  a  big, 
fat,  healthy-looking  i^eTlow,  but  he  is 
not  a  hard  one  to  destroy  if  taken  in 
time.  But  if  he  once  gets  a  good  foot- 
hold, it  will  take  several  fumigations  to 


get  the  pest  under  control.  It  is  better 
to  fumigate  two  or  three  nights  in  suc- 
cession, if  the  fly  is  bad,  rather  than 
try  to  use  the  tobacco  strong  enough  to 
destroy  them  with  one  dose. 

Tobacco  can  be  had  in  several  forms, 
but  we  find  the  dust  the  easiest  to  han- 
dle. There  is  a  kind  of  specially  pre- 
pared for  burning.  When  once  this  is 
started  it  will  keep  on  burning  for  sev- 
eral hours.  The  smoke  is  never  so  dense 
in  the  house  as  it  would  be  if  stems 
were  used,  but  the  length  of  time  it 
keeps  on  smoking  seems  to  wear  them 
down  and  do  them  more  harm  than  a 
sudden  filling  of  the  house  would,  with  a 
good  deal  less  danger  of  damage  to  the 
plants.  There  are  several  liquid  forms 
of  tobacco  extract  that  are  applied  by 
evaporation.  They  certainly  do  the  work 
well  and  are  used  by  many,  but  are 
more  expensive  to  use  than  the  dust.

THE  GRAND  RAPIDS  COMBINE. 

In  speaking  of  the  new  corporation 
formed  by  a  number  of  Grand  Kapids 
growers,  a  local  paper  says: 

"Lettuce  will  probably  be  the  princi- 
pal crop  raised  by  the  Grand  Rapids 
Greenhouse  Co.,  the  new  $160,000  com- 
pany which  was  recently  organized  for 
the  purpose  of  consolidating  several  of 
the  largest  greenhouses  in  the  city. 

"Grand  Eapids  has  long  been  supreme 
as  a  growing  and  shipping  point  for  let- 
tuce, and  the  organization  will  strive  to 
uphold  this  supremacy.  The  market  has 
been  rather  demoralized  for  the  last  year 
or  two  and  it  is  believed  that  it  will  soon 
find  its  equilibrium. 

"Nothing  definite  has  been  decided 
regarding  a  central  plant,  but  the  one 
most  talked  of  is  to  use  the  greenhouses 
of  E.  E.  Taylor,  on  the  South  Division 
street  road,  and  make  extensive  altera- 
tions and  improvements  there. 

* '  Although  lettuce  will  probably  be  the 
staple  crop,  other  vegetables-  will  be 
grown,  and  flowers  will  form  no  small 
part  of  the  business,  chrysanthemums  es- 
pecially being  grown  in  quantity  to  pre- 
cede the  lettuce."

INDIANAPOLIS. 


Current  Comment* 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  State  Flo- 
rists' Association  it  was  decided  to  hold 
a  spring  show  April  10.  A  committee 
was  appointed,  consisting  of  H.  W.  Kie- 
man,  H.  Schilling,  F.  B.  Alley  and  F.  E. 
Harritt,  to  take  charge.'  Premiums  will 
be  awarded  for  plants  and  cut  blooms. 
The  lists  will  be  out  in  a  few  days  and 
can  be  obtained  by  applying  to  the  sec- 
retary of  the  society. 

Mrs.  James  Nelson,  mother  of  E.  A. 
Nelson,  died  suddenly,  March  3,  from  an 
attack  of  the  grip.  The  son  has  the 
sympathy  of  his  many  friends. 

Albin  Schrieber's  wife  and  daughter 
have  been  sick  with  typhoid  fever.  "Vve 
are  glad  to  report  that  both  are  conva- 
lescent. 

There  promises  to  be  a  great  demand 
for  white  carnations  to  be  used  on  St. 
Patrick's  day.  The  green  carnation  is 
quite  popular  and  each  year  brings  an 
increased  demand. 

A.  Wiegand  was  at  Terre  Haute  March

SPRINGFIELD,  ILL. 

As  a  result  of  the  decision  of  the 
Illinois  State  Florists*  Association  to 
hold  its  next  annual  convention  at 
Springfield,  the  Springfield  florists  are 
waking  up,  and  a  meeting  was  held 
March  7  in  A.  C.  Brown's  store  with  a 
view  to  a  local  organization.  The  fol- 
lowing oflScers  were  elected:  President, 
A.  C.  Brown;  vice-president,  George  M. 
Brinkerhoflf;  secretary,  George  Jack; 
treasurer,  George  Van  Horn.  The  organ- 
ization starts  oflf  with  a  membership  ojf 
thirty,  with  a  good  prospect  of  forty  by 
next   meeting,   March   21. 

The  objects  of  the  organization  are* 
■  To  promote  interest  in  and  prepare  for 
the  coming  convention,  to  improve  the 
city  in  a  horticultural  way,  to  inspire  to 
civic  beauty  and  to  promote  fellowship 
among  the  growers  and  tradesmen.  It  is 
expected  that  later  the  growers  out  in 
the  county  will  come  into  the  organiza- 
tion. F.  A,  F.

Vlce-Pres  ,  Charles  Burgre,  Toledo,  O.;  Sec'y  and 
Treaa.,  C.  E.  Kendal,  Cleveland.  The  26th  annual 
meeUnff  will  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1907. 


The  demand  for  Stone  tomato  is  tax- 
ing the  sources  of  supply. 

Seed  stock  of  the  Early  Ohio  potato 
begins  to  look  good  to  those 'who  have  a 
supply. 

Seed  travelers  report  competition  so 
keen  that  profits  will  be  but  a  side  issue 
if  business  is  booked  by  them. 

It  is  reported  that  there  are  still  a  few 
pounds  of  onion  seed  available.  White 
Globe,  however,  is  said  to  be  cleaned  out. 

Theee  are  yet  some  acres  needed  for 
pea  planting  for  the  coming  year's  seed 
crop  and  reports  have  it  that  they  are 
getting  hard  to  find. 

Visited  Chicago: — W.  H.  Barrett, 
Adrian,  Mich. ;  B.  F.  Adams,  Peoria,  111, ; 
Chas.  P.  Guelf,  with  Jerome  B.  Rice  Seed 
Co.,  Cambridge,  N.  Y. 

Nothing  much  is  being  said  about  the 
probable  size  of  the  pickle  acreage  for 
the  coming  year.  But  the  pickle  men 
will  likely  get  busy  later  on. 

The  idea  that  all  garden  seeds  are 
sold  by  means  of  catalogues  is  a  mis- 
taken one.  Every  country  newspaper  is 
now  carrying  the  advertisement  of  the 
local  seed  dealer. 

It  is  reported  that  John  Lewis  Childs, 
of  Moral  Park,  who  sold  the  Mayflower 
a  year  or  so  ago,  is  contemplating  start- 
ing another  "floral"  paper,  with  D.  J. 
Thomas,  founder  of  Floral  Life,  as  edi- 
tor. 

If  the  sales  of  narcissus  bulbs  were 
based  on  the  prices  realized  for  the  cut 
blooms  since  the  latter  part  of  Febru- 
ary the  demand  would  be  considerably 
curtailed.  Early  prices  were  satisfac- 
tory.

The  accidental  death,  by  poisoning,  of 
the  daughter  of  J.  W.  Ratekin,  Shenan- 
doah, la.,  is  reported  in  our  obituary  col- 
umn this  week. 

It  looks  as  though  the  onion  set  grow- 
ers will  not  plant  as  much  seed  this  yesir 
as  last.  Onion  sets  are  going  at  good 
prices,  though,  and  perhaps  this  will 
stimulate  things  before  the  planting  sea- 
son is  over. 

A  COMBINATION,  Or  an  agreement  of 
some  kind  that  would  restrain  one  dealer 
from  cutting  another's  prices,  is  much 
desired  and  talked  about  by  the  whole- 
sale seed  dealers,  but  they  fail  to  do 
anything  definite. 

Boston  seed  houses  report  counter 
trade  much  behind  that  of  a  year  ago  at 
this  date,  due  to  the  continued  severe 
weather,  and  a  congestion  of  business  is 
sure  to  follow  the  breaking  of  winter. 
Mail  orders  have  been  over  the  average. 

When  P.  T.  Poulsen,  traveling  for  A. 
T.  Poulsen,  seed  grower,  of  Copenhagen, 
Denmark,  reached  Chicago  on  his  jour- 
ney he  liked  the  town  and  the  people  so 
well  he  decided  to  settle  down  there,  but

A  PURE  seed  bill  is  pending  in  the 
Michigan   legislature. 

The  acreage  of  beans  in  Michigan  is 
likely  to  show  another  increase  this  year. 

The  Evans  Seed  Co.,  West  Branch, 
Mich.,  suffered  $10,000  damage  by  fire 
March  5;  partially  insured. 

The  H.  E.  Fiske  Seed  Co.,  Boston,  re- 
ports counter  trade  as  having  opened 
well  since  the  weather  moderated. 

J.  J.  Grullemans,  Jr.,  of  J.  J.  Grulle- 
mans  &  Sons,  Lisse,  Holland,  is  making 
his  first  trip  to  the  United  States. 

W.  Atlee  Burpee  &  Co.,  Philadelphia, 
are  advertising  their  Farm  Annual  for 
1907  in  leading  European  gardening  pa- 
pers. 

It  is  reported  that  one  English  firm 
handles  annually  ten  million  valley  pips, 
nearly  all  of  which  spend  some  mouths 
in  cold  storage. 

W.  W.  Eawson  &  Co.,  Boston,  report 
that  Gladiolus  Harvard  took  so  well  that 
they  were  entirely  sold  out  of  it  before 
the  end  of  February. 

Henry  Carr,  president  of  the  Ogemaw 
Grain  and  Seed  Co.,  West  Branch,  Mich., 
says  that  sixty  carloads  of  beans  were 
shipped  from  Saginaw  to  Cuba  last  year. 

Does  not  the  offering  of  seeds  as 
premiums,  or  premiums  on  the  purchase 
of  seeds,  lead  the  public  to  the  belief 
that  the  seedsmen's  stock  in  trade  is  of 
little  real  value? 

Josiah  Young  is  moving  to  a  new 
location,  375  to  377  Eiver  street,  Troy, 
N.  Y.,  and  when  settled  will  have  one 
of  the  finest  stores  in  the  country  for 
handling  seeds  and  flowers. 

The  building  occupied  by  the  Spring-

doubtless  will  not  be  disturbed  at  the  ex- 
piration of  its  lease,  which  has  some  time 
to  run. 

The  onion  set  is  still  holding  its  own 
and,  by  the  way,  if  it  is  true  as  reported, 
that  southern  California  shipped  1,000 
tons  of  onion  sets  into  Texas  the  past 
year,  it  is  remarkable  that  so  large  a  lot 
was  overlooked  when  the  crop  reporter 
was  sizing  up  the  year's  product. 


SAMPLING. 


Our  congressmen  have  been  setting  an 
example  for  our  seedsmen  to  follow,  so 
that  now  we  are  getting  free  samples 
with  at  least  one-half  of  the  seed  cata- 
logues that  come  to  our  tables.  These 
are  all  intended  as  baits  to  catch  trade, 
and  as  such  are  a  menace  to  square  deal- 
ing and  to  the  honest  seedsman.  I  take 
it  that  the  honest  seedsman  with  an  es- 
tablished   reputation    does    not    need    to 


send  out  these  free  samples,  and  the  hon- 
est buyer  does  not  care  to  be  worked 
in  this  way.  T"he  average  buyer  of  seeds 
does  not  care  to  take  the  time  and  trou- 
ble to  test  these  sample  packets,  but  pre- 
fers to  rely  upon  the  reputation  of  the 
seedsman  for  honest  goods.  Nineteen- 
twentieths  of  the  sample  packets  thus 
sent  out  by  our  seedsmen  were  un- 
doubtedly never  intended  to  be  tested, 
but  are  calculated  as  baits  for  a  con- 
stantly wavering  trade.

tral  west  has  not  experienced  the  cold 
weather  that  has  prevailed  at  other 
points;  consequently  the  smaller  dealers 
throughout  Illinois,  Ohio  and  Iowa  are 
well  ahead  of  the  rush.  This  will  ease 
things  up  somewhat  when  the  wholesalers 
are  called  upon  to  meet  the  requirements 
elsewhere.  Mail  trade  is  coming  about 
as  usual  and  counter  trade  is  beginning 
to  open  up.  An  early  spring  is  predicted 
in  the  central  west,  as  there  is  little  frost 
left  in  the  ground.  The  demand  for 
onion  seed  is  not  as  brisk  as  it  should 
be;  the  high  prices  seem  to  be  a  factor 
here,  many  of  the  planters  being  inclined 
to  hold  off  for  lower  prices.  It  is 
thought  that  the  conditions  fully  warrant 
the  high  prices,  however,  and  no  anxiety 
is  felt  by  those  who  have  onion  seed  to 
sell. 


THE  TULIP  DISEASE. 

The  many  complaints  that  have  been 
received  during  the  last  few  years 
through  the  seedsmen  and  the  trade  gen- 
erally, in  consequence  of  the  fact  that 
so  often  tulips  in  the  beds  of  parks  and 
private  gardens  failed  to  bloom,  and 
even  in  many  places  failed  to  come  alto- 
gether, now  justify  us  in  giving  the  re- 
sults of  our  trials  and  investigations  in 
this  direction  for  the  benefit  of  all  those 
interested.  We  have,  for  the  last  three 
years  been  making  extensive  trials  based 
upon  the  discoveries  of  Prof.  H.  Kle- 
bahn,  of  Hamburg,  who  not  only  suc- 
ceeded in  finding  the  cause  of  the  tulip 
disease,  but  also  the  fact  that  it  shows 
its  existence  in  two  distinct  forms  caused 
by  the  fungi  Botrytis  parasiticus  and 
Sclerotium  Tuliparum. 

To  make  a  long  story  short,  we  might 
as  well  refrain  from  going  too  much 
into  the  details,  and  we  therefore  only 
give  the  main  points  here.  Generally 
the  disease  caused  by  Botrytis  shows  it- 
self in  the  early  spring,  by  the  non- 
appearance or  by  the  backward  and  sick- 
ly sprouts  that  come  above  the  ground, 
and  upon  lifting  such  diseased  bulbs  one 
can  easily  find  the  cause  of  it  in  the 
shape    of   numerous   small   black   fungi.

about  the  size  of  a  pinhead;  or  in  the 
case  of  Sclerotium  Tuliparum,  by  larg- 
er dark  brown  fungi,  that  adhere  to  the 
old  bulb  or  what  is  left  of  it.  These 
fungi  are  usually  to  be  found  in  many 
hundreds  together  and  under  certain  fa- 
vorable circumstances  in  damp  atmos- 
phere, they  spore  freely  in  the  spring, 
and  thus  cause  a  rapid  infection  of  the 
soil  or  of  the  surrounding  plants  of  tu- 
lips. 

As  these  fungi  keep  alive  in  the  ground 
and  retain  their  vitality  for  at  least  two 
years,  it  is  certainly  not  surprising  that 
some  grounds  are  so  badly  infected  by 
the  neglect  of  proper  attention  to  de- 
cayed bulbs  that  no  tulip  bulbs  can  grow 
in  them  any  more.  It  would  be  an  easy 
matter  to  kill  these  fungi  in  the  ground 
by  the  application  of  a  good  dose  of  car- 
bolineum  or  similar  disinfectant,  but  ex- 
perience has  shown  that  the  cure  is  worse

than  the  disease,  because  it  will  make 
it  impossible  to  grow  any  crops  whatever 
on  ground  thus  disinfected  for  many 
years  afterwards.  The  only  practical 
plan,  therefore,  is  to  lift  out  any  of 
the  affected  bulbs  at  the  earliest  possi- 
ble date  in  the  spring,  together  with  the 
surrounding  soil,  taking  great  care  that 
nothing  is  being  spilled,  and  have  it  all 
carefully  destroyed  by  burning.  If  this 
process  is,  however,  not  done  with  great 
care,  it  had  better  not  be  done  at  all.

as  the  slightest  spilling  of  any  of  the 
infected  ground  will  cause  more  spread- 
ing and  more  infection. 

The  foregoing  suggestions  are  based 
upon  the  results  of  our  own  trials  so 
far,  but  may  be  improved  upon  in  the 
future,  as  experience  will  teach  us.  The 
fact  that  there  are  two  distinct  forms  of 
fungi,  which  cause  almost  similar  re- 
sults, may  as  well  be  left  alone  for  the 
present,  especially  as  sometimes  the  two 
diseases  are  mixed  up  together  and  thus 
make  the  distinction  difficult.

THE  BEST  TUBEROSES. 

The  best  tuberose  bulbs  are  not  neces- 
sarily the  largest,  but  they  should  be 
heavy  and  solid  in  proportion  to  their 
bulk,  and  it  is  in  the  choice  of  bulbs 
that  one  of  the  most  important  points 
in  successful  culture  lies.  Another  thing 
is  choice  of  variety,  says  the  Gardeners' 
Magazine.  * '  The  African  form  does  not 
compare  favorably  with  the  American 
form,  known  as  The  Pearl,  which  is  the 
best  type  on  the  market,  being  naturally

TYPES  OF  CANDIDUM  LILIES. 

The    bulbs    of    Lilium    candidum    are 
usually  imported  from  the  warm  climate 
of   the  south   of  France,   and   are  more 
or  less  liable   to   disease,  against  which 
there   does  not  at  present  appear  to  be 
any    really    reliable    preventive    or   rem- 
edy.     Much    of    this    trouble    is    caused 
through  the  bulbs  being  imported  from 
such  a  warm  climate,  as  the  bulbs  im- 
ported   from    Holland    and    North    Ger- 
many   are   much    more    successful.     Un- 
doubtedly   the    finest    bulbs    obtainable, 
especially    for   early    forcing,    are    those 
grown    undisturbed    for    some    years    in 
England,   and   such   as   are   obtained   by 
dealers  from   small  country  cottage-gar- 
dens.    Another  cause  of  trouble    is  the 
drying  the  bulbs  undergo  in  lifting  and 
transit,  for  of  all  bulbs  of  plants,  Lilium 
candidum  most  resents   disturbance,  and 
it  is  better  treated  as  a  green  plant  than 
as  a  dry  bulb.    Another  cause  of  trouble 
is    that    many    Continental    stocks,    and 
more    especially    the    French,    are    of    a 
different  variety  to  the  English  and,  al- 
though many  persons  would  deny  it,  two 
distinct  types  of  this  plant  exist.     The 
less  valuable,  and  the  type  to  be  rigor- 
ously avoided,  is  in  growth  much  shorter 
than  the  other.     The  blooms  are  smaller, 
not  so  pure  white,  and  are  not  so  freely 
produced.      The    leaves    are    also    much 
narrower  and  less  numerous  on  the  stem; 
the  bulb  can  also  be  easily  distinguished, 
as  the  scales  are  much  smaller  and  nar- 
rower, while  the  bulb  is  inclined  to  'de- 
velop a  "neck,"  and  is  almost  identical 
in    shape   with    that   of   the    old    purple 
"tiger    lily,"    Lilium    tigrinum    purpu- 
reum,  whereas  the  English  type  has  very 
fat,    thick   scales,   and   the  bulb   is  per- 
fectly flat  on  the  top,  with  an  entire  ab- 
sence  of  any  neck. — Gardeners'   Chroni-

Current  G>mment. 

Dahlia  growers,  commercial  and  pri- 
vate, are  now  hard  at  work  propagating 
from  cuttings  for  the  increase  of  stock. 
Some  of  the  choicest  and  largest  col- 
lections of  dahlias  in  the  country  are  to 
be  found  here.  Hitherto  the  largest  col- 
lections were  in  the  possession  of  private 
growers;  this  year  it  seems  that  two 
commercial  men  have,  by  recent  heavy 
purchases,  become  the  leaders  in  this 
respect. 

The  ladies '  night  of  the  Newport  Hor- 
ticultural Society,  March  5,  was  a  de- 
cidefl  success. 

In  years  past  several  Newport  grow- 
ers experienced  much  diflBculty  in  re- 
tarding Cactleya  gigas  so  as  to  have 
them  when  the  season  is  at .  its  height 
afxd  the  flowers  in  greatest  demand.  This 
year  the  condition  of  a  great  many 
plants  indicates  that  there  need  be  no 
fear  of  their  coming  in  too  early. 

William  Jurgens  and  wife  have  gone 
to  Philadelphia  for  a  short  visit.  Mr. 
Jurgens  is  one  of  the  pushing  young 
men  in  the  business,  so  much  so  that  a 
short  vacation  is  well  earned. 

Gibson  Bros.,  despite  the  fact  that 
their  own  cut  of  carnations  was  fully

PRIMULA  KEWENSIS 

See  Florists'  Review,  Boston  report, 
page  1099,  February  28. 

This  charming  addition  to  our  greenhouse 
Primroses  originated  at  the  Royal  Gardens, 
Kew.  as  an  accidental  cross  between  the 
small,  bright-flowered  Himalayan  species, 
P.  floribunda,  and  the  sweet-scented  P.  verti- 
cillata,  a  native  of  \rabia.  The  plant  is  a 
strong  grower,  with  bright  green  leaves, 
and  numerous  erect  flowerscapes,  10  to  18 
inches  in  height,  producing  flowers  in  whorls 
at  intervals  along  their  whole  length.  The 
flowers  are  fragrant,  bright  yellow  in  color, 
with  a  slender  tube  and  spreading  limb, 
nearly  an  inch  in  diameter.  As  a  winter- 
flowering  decorative  plant  it  is  an  acquisi- 
tion: its  floriferousnesn  when  in  a  very  small 
state  is  remarkable.    Per  pkt.,  $1.00.

Greens  are  Btill  scarce.  Easter  lilies  are 
scarce  and  will  be  a  short  crop,  it  is 
feared,  for  Easter.  BulbousN  stock  is  in 
heavy  supply  and  some  of  it  has  ad- 
vanced. 

The  seedsmen  are  beginning  to  have 
their  spring  rush.       ?-.

M.  M.  Fiedler  &  Co.  are  displaying  a 
choice  variety  of  various  kinds  of  ferns, 
palms  and  cut  flowers  in  their  large  win- 
dow. Their  store  is  one  of  the  finest 
in  northwest  Baltimore. 

The  labor  question  here  is  becoming  a 
serious  matter,  as  a  new  sewerage  sys- 
tem is  started  and  the  docks  are  taking 
many  hands  ±rom  the  country,  so  the 
gardeners  find  it  difficult  to  secure  help. 

N.  E.  Shipley,  Arlington,  Md.,  out  of 
three  sashes  picked  300  double  violets  in 
one  day,  the  stems  averaging  about  eight 
inches  long  and  the  blooms  one  inch  in 
diameter. 

Part  of  the  old  McEoberts  property  is 
being  divided  into  building  lots.

The  Market 

The  retailers  in  this  city  -will  be 
glad  to  see  the  last  of  this  Lenten  sea- 
son. For  several  years  Lent  has  not  af- 
fected the  trade  to  a  great  extent,  but 
this  season  either  religion  has  struck  in 
deeper  or  the  flower  buyers  were  worn 
out    with   the   busy,    fashionable    season 

:and  are  resting  entirely.  There  were 
several  funerals  of  prominent  men  last 
week,  which  created  an  exceptional  de- 
mand for  that  kind  of  stock  and  made 
a  fair  week  in  a  general  way.  There 
was  great  complaint  of  the  slow  trade. 

Among  the  wholesalers  you  do  not 
hear  so  much  complaint,  for  they  seem 

.to  think  it  has  a  depressing  effect  on 
their  customers  and  for  that  reason  re- 

•  port  business  as  all  that  can  be  ex- 
pected, but  the  evidence  is  in  the  ice- 
boxes full  of  stock  and  the  quantities  of 
stock  the  fakirs  are  carrying  around. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Florists'  Club  met  Tuesday  even- 
ing, March  5,  and  had  a  fine  display  of 
blooming  plants  ^  otr  exhibition.  The 
subject  for  discussion  being  '/Easter 
Plants,"  there  was  a  fair  crowd  pres- 
ent, although  many  were  delayed  so 
much  getting  home  on  account  of  the 
terrible  snow  storm  and  gale  which  came 
oVer  the  city  at  6  p.  m.  that  they  were 
unable  to  get  back  for  the  meeting. 

John  Bader  was  a  visitor  in  the  east 
last  week.

well, of  Wilkinsburg,  was  married  last

STEAMER  SAILINGS. 

The  tide  of  European  travel  has  again 
set  in.  It  will  gather  volume  as  the 
spring  advances  and  promises  to  be 
heavier  than  ever  as  summer  approaches. 
Betail  florists  can  add  to  their  business 
with  no  greater  trouble  to  themselves 
than  the  posting  of  a  list  of  steamer 
sailings  in  the  window.  Or  tell  in  a  neat 
circular  that  you  have  facilities  for  the 
delivery  of  flowers  on  any  outgoing 
steamer.  Then  mail  or  wire  the  orders 
to  be  filled  to  one  of  the  Leading  Betail 
Florists  in  the  Eeview.

State  of  Business. 

We  are  pleased  to  be  able  to  report  a 
continuance  of  great  business  activity 
and  a  market  well  supplied  in  the  gen- 
eral lines.  Everything  under  glass  is 
showing  a  vigorous  growth  in  response 
.to  the  bright  spring  sunshine.  Violets 
are  a  feast  and  anyone  with  "two  bits" 
to  spare  can  wear  a  bunch.  No  one  has 
reason  to  regret  haying  grown  them,  and 
the  retailers  find  the  home  product  more 
profitable  than  those  imported  from 
California.  Not  until  this  month  was 
the  supply  of  carnations  equal  to  the 
demand  and  prices  are  holding  up  well. 

Roses  are  maintaining  the  season's 
usual  standard  of  quality,  only  a  little 
shy  in  quantity.  Bulbous  stuff  has  been 
our  salvation,  for  without  it  we  would 
have  been  up  against  it,  owing  to  the 
unprecedented^  call  for  design  work. 
Never  onc^tj^li'ris  it  accumulated,  although 
handled  in  large  quantities.  Daffodils 
have  been  popular  for  festive  occasions 
and  we  do  not  think  there  was  any 
money  lost  on  them  at  75  cents  and  $1 
per  dozen. 

Surely  spring  has  come  to  stay,  as 
Mr.  Eobin  demands  his  breakfast  at  six 
o'clock,  crocuses  are  blooming  outside 
and,  unless  unfavorable  symptoms  set 
in,  there  should  be  an  aoundance  of 
everything  for  the  Easter  trade. 

VariotM  Notes. 

The  building  fever  is  spreading  and 
several  of  our  leading  growers  will  add 
substantially  to  their  respective  places. 
George  Betz  tells  us  with  great  dignity 
that  he  has  already  commencea  opera- 
tions up  the  valley  on  a  new  range  of 
15,000  feet. 

Charles  Street,  of  Clackamas,  will  put 
some  of  his  violet  money  into  two  new 
houses.  Robinson  Bros.,  of  Woodstock, 
will  do  likewise. 

Tonseth  &  Co.  also  announce  that  there 
will  be  more  than  one  smoke  stack  on 
their  premises  a  few  months  hence. 

Clarke  Bros,  have  outgrown  the  space 
they  occupy  and,  surrounding  property 
being  too  valuable  for  greenhouse  pur- 
poses, we  are  informed  that  this  firm 
will  build  a  strictly  modern  range  about 
seven  miles   from  town. 

We  have  not  had  the  opportunity  of 
interviewing  Mr.  Sibson  recently,  but  we 
venture  to  say  that  he  will  need  more 
room  for  Richmond  and  Kate  Moulton 
another  year.  He  reports  a  sale  for 
everything  and  orders  increasing  from 
out  of  town.  There  are  others  talking 
expansion,  but  we  have  been  too  busy 
to  call  on  them,  so  will  refer  to  them 
later. 

J.  R.  Fotheringham,  representing  the 
F.  R.  Pierson  Co.,  spent  last  week  with 
as,  emphasizing  the  good  points  of  all 
the   new   carnations.     When   giving  the 


Young  Rose  Plants 

All  propagated  from  wood  taken  from  plants  in  the  field. 
This  is  the  same   stock  as  we  are  now  planting^  in  the  field.

The  Market 


Lent  is  still  with  us  and  the  weather 
has  not  been  conducive  to  much  transient 
trade,  but  notwithstanding  these  draw- 
backs we  have  had  a  fair  share  of  busi- 
ness during  the  last  week.  Flowers  are 
gradually  getting  lower  in  price,  with 
the  exception  of  roses.  Violets  are  com- 
mencing to  take  on  their  spring  growth 
and  are  getting  scarce  in  consequence. 
The  price  has  been  advanced  25  cents 
per  dozen  bunches  by  the  wholesalers. 

Bulbous  stock  is  not  so  plentiful  as  it 
has  been  and  not  much  is  seen  except 
some  late  daffodils.  Eomans  are  out 
of  the  market.  A  few  Dutch  hyacinths 
are  being  used  by  the  retailers.  Tulips 
seem  to  have  lost  their  hold  on  the 
public  and  few  have  been  shown  this 
year.  Quite  a  quantity  of  freesias  are 
being  brought  in  and  find  ready  sale  at 
$2  per  hundred. 

Carnations  are  a  shade  lower  than 
last  week  and  the  supply  is  good,  but 
not  in  excess  of  the  demand. 

Outdoor  stock,  with  the  exception  of 
bulbous  flowers,  is  not  in  evidence  yet 
and  it  will  be  several  weeks  before  we 
have  anything  to  draw  from.  Maiden- 
hair fern  of  the  wild  variety  is  plentiful 
and  it  has  proven  a  godsend  to  the  re- 
tailers, who  have  been  woefully  short  of 
everything  in  the  line  of  green  stuff 
since  the  holidays.

The  Market. 


Trade  has  showed  that  we  are  in  the 
midst  of  Lent,  as  outside  of  funeral 
Avork  there  is  little  doing.  Everyone 
seems  to  have  an  abundance  of  stock  and 
prices  have  declined,  especially  on  bulb 
stock.  Some  fine  Yellow  Prince  tulips 
were  on  the  market  during  the  week  at 
$1  per  hundred.  The  quality  of  all 
stock  could  hardly  be  improved  and  as 
the  demand  is  light,  some  loss  has  been 
sustained. 

Easter  plants  are  slowly  coming  in. 
Easter  stock  with  all  of  the  growers 
looks  promising  and  there  is  no  anxiety 
as  to  having  practically  everything 
ready.  While  there  are  some  lilies  that 
cannot  possibly  be  got  in,  a  large  ma- 
jority will  be  all  right.

The  sin  Jose  scale  is  reported  at 
Grand  Eapids,  Mich. 

C.  S.  Harrison  has  issued  a  second 
edition  of  his  Peony  Manual. 

There  -was  a  meeting  of  New  Eng- 
land nurserymen  at  New  Haven,  Conn., 
March  4. 

Baudry's  Nursery  Co.,  Chicago,  has 
been  incorporated,  with  $5,000  capital 
stock,  by  Peter  C.  King,  Frank  M.  Bur- 
wash  and  John  T.  Booz. 

A  BILL  has  been  introduced  in  the  Min- 
nesota legislature  providing  for  inspec- 
tion of  nurseries  at  least  twice  a  year 
and  making  it  a  misdemeanor  to  misrep- 
resent in  making  a  sale. 

The  New  England  Nurseries,  Bostouj 
has  been  incorporated  with  dn  author- 
ized capital  stock  of  $30,000.  The  pres- 
ident is  W.  M.  Richardson,  Cambridge, 
and  the  treasurer  A.  E.  Eobinson,  North 
Abington. 

The  Bed  Bank  Nursery  Co.,  Bed 
Bank,  N.  J.,  has  been  incorporated  with 
$100,000  authorized  capital.  The  inter- 
ested parties  are  J.  McColgan,  of  Eed 
Bank,  and  E.  Runyan,  president  of  the 
Elizabeth  Nursery  Co.,  Elizabeth,  N.  J. 

A  HORTICULTURAL  inspector  makes  the 
suggestion  that  the  way  to  secure  the 
spraying  of  trees  in  infected  localities  is 
to  levy  a  tax  of  so  much  per  tree  on 
property  owners,  the  taxing  body  then  to 
see  that  the  spraying  is  done  and  done 
properly. 

Wm.  a.  Peterson,  Chicago,  says  he 
feels  that  there  has  been  no  overdoing  of 
the  peony,  as  many  have  predicted;  in- 
deed, he  thinks  it  quite  the  opposite  and 
looks  for  a  much  wider  demand  in  fu- 
ture. As  a  result  he  has  just  about 
twice  as  many  plants  in  the  ground  as  a 
year  ago. 

The  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture, 
through  the  forest  service,  gives  prac- 
tical assistance  to  land  owners  in  estab- 
lishing commercial  forest  plantations, 
shelter  belts,  windbreaks  and  snowbreaks, 
and  in  reclaiming  shifting  sands  and 
other  waste  lands  by  forest  planting.  In 
connection  with  this  work,  information 
will  be  given,  when  possible,  to  inter- 
ested communities  by  public  meetings. 
The  department  furnishes  blanks  on 
which  application  is  to  be  made  for  its 
assistance. 

A.  J.  Perkins,  of  Jackson  &  Perkins 
Co.,  Newark,  N.  Y.,  after  a  winter  in 
California,  at  the  branch  nursery  of  the 
Jackson  &  Perkins  Co.,  has  been  for 
several  weeks  in  the  Sandwich  Islands, 
and  expects  to  sail  March  15  from  Hono- 
lulu for  Yokohama.  He  will  remain  in 
Japan  several  months  and  will  visit  the 
leading  nurseries  and  places  of  horticul- 
tural interest.  Mr.  Perkins  is  a  well- 
informed  botanist,  which,  along  with  his 
knowledge  of  commercial  horticulture, 
should  enable  him  to  make  the  trip  a 
particularly  interesting  and  profitable 
one. 

Yucca  filamentosa,  Adam 's  needle,  is 
evergreen  and  quite  hardy  almost  every- 


where. When  planted  in  a  group  or  bed 
it  forms  a  unique  contrast  to  most  other 
things  around.  The  foliage,  although 
green,  is  decorative.  It  is  also  appro- 
priate for  use  in  borders  and  in  corners 
or  other  parts  of  extensive  shrubberies. 
In  midsummer  Yucca  filamentosa  pushes 
up  long,  straight  stalks,  covered  at  the 
top  with  handsome  ivory-white  flowers. 


HARDY  ORNAMENTAL  SHRUBS. 

One  of  the  most  satisfactory  of  large 
shrubs  is  the  grand  old  snowball.  There 
are  several  varieties  of  viburnum.  The 
Japanese  snowball  is  smaller  than  the 
common  American  variety,  but  is  a  fine 
bloomer.  The  highbush  cranberry  closely 
resembles  the  snowball  in  its  foliage, 
and  has  an  additional  attraction  in  its 
brilliant  clusters  of  red  berries  which 
sometimes  remain  through  the  winter.  In 
the  autumn  its  foliage  turns  to  bright 
colors,  which  remain  until  freezing 
weather. 

Philadelphus,  also  known  as  syringa 
and  mock  orange,  has  flowers  which  some 
think  resemble  orange  blossoms.  The 
foliage  comes  out  rather  late,  but  it  is 
an  extremely  valuable  shrub  to  have  in  a 
collection,  especially  where  one  has  con- 
siderable room.  It  is  as  hardy  as  the 
oak  and  does  well  in  the  shade.  The  best 
varieties  are  grandiflora,  which  has  large 
white  flowers;  flore-pleno,  with  double 
flowers,  and  Pekinensis,  with  fragrant 
white  flowers.. 

The  barberry  is  a  pretty  shrub  for 
groups.  Its  red  varieties  are  ornamental 
in  autumn  and  winter.  The  purple- 
leaved  variety  makes  a  fine  contrast  with 
the  green.  Canadensis  is  the  species  na- 
tive to  America.  Berberis  Ilicifolia  has 
leaves  like  the  holly  and  Berberis  pur- 
purea has  foliage  of  purple.  The  Na- 
tional Council  of  Horticulture  recom- 
mends these  shrubs  in  one  of  its  press 
bulletins. 


INSECTS  AND  PLANT  DISEASES. 

[A  paper  by  Arthur  H.  Rosenfeld;  assistant 
entomologist.  Louisiana  State  Pest  Commission, 
read  at  the  annual  convention  of  the  Society  of 
Southern  Florists,  at  New  Orleans,  February  14 
to  16,  1907,  continued  from  the  issue  of 
March  7.] 

Nature  of  Protection  Afforded. 

The  principal  protection  afforded  by 
any  commission  or  board  of  entomology 
is  in  the  inspection  and  certification  of 
nursery  stock,  the  best  method  of  pre- 
venting the  spread  of  most  insects.  Were 
it  not  for  the  inspection  laws  against 
the  San  Jose  scale  alone,  it  is  doubtful 
if  there  would  be  a  single  large  orchard 
in  the  United  States  unharmed  by  this 
insect. 

The  different  state  laws  for  the  in- 
spection and  certification  of  nursery 
stock  are  fairly  uniform.  In  brief,  the 
requirements  are  that  every  nursery  de- 
siring to  sell  stock  shall  be  inspected 
once  each  year,  and  in  case  any  danger- 
ously injurious  insects  or  plant  diseases 
are  found  therein,  no  stock  shall  be  al- 
lowed to  go  out  of  this  nursery,  even  as 
a  gift,  until  same  has  been  properly 
cleared  of  the  pest.  When  the  nursery 
is  apparently  free  of  the  insects  or  dis- 
eases quarantined  against,  a  certificate 
of  inspection  is  granted  the  nurseryman, 
which  entitles  him  to  do  business  until 
July  1,  following.  Copies  of  the  certifi- 
cate of  inspection  are  printed  upon  or- 
dinary shipping  tags,  and  at  least  one  of 
these  tags  must  be  attached  to  every 
package  or  bundle  of  nursery  stock  leav- 
ing the  premises.

How  Commissions  are  Maintained* 

The  manner  of  paying  for  this  inspec- 
tion varies  in  the  different  states.  For 
instance,  in  Illinois  the  expenses  of  the 
inspector  are  borne  by  each  nurseryman 
according  to  the  time  required  by  the 
inspector  to  go  over  the  premises.  This 
is  about  the  best  system  where  the 
nurseryman  has  to  pay  the  expenses  him- 
self, as  the  small  nurseryman  has  to  pay 
only  his  proportion  of  what  the  large 
grower  does. 

In  Virginia,  the  arrangement  is  not 
quite  so  satisfactory  for  the  nurseryman. 
Every  person,  firm,  or  corporation,  sell- 
ing, or  shipping  nursery  stock  into  the 
state,  must  pay  a  fee  of  $20  annually, 
be  he  a  large  or  small  dealer.  While 
the  bigger  nurserymen  in  the  state  can 
well  afford  this  amount,  the  small 
nurseryman  has  to  pay  just  the  same 
amount. 

In  Louisiana  the  nurseryman  pays 
practically  nothing,  as  all  expenses  in- 
cident to  inspection  are  paid  out  of  the 
fund  appropriated  for  the  maintenance 
of  the  state  crop  pest  commission.  The 
only  expense  which  the  nurserymen  have 
to  undergo  is  the  very  nominal  one  of 
paying  for  the  actual  printing  of  copies 
of  their  certificates  of  inspection  upon 
shipping  tags,  which  tags  are  paid  for 
by  the  commission. 

Certificate  an  Advantage. 

And  in  this  connection,  I  might  men- 
tion a  direct  advantage  to  the  nursery- 
man, gained  through  the  use  of  these 
tags.  This  is  their  value  as  advertise- 
ments. They  are  veritable  health  cer- 
tificates, showing,  as  they  do,  that  the 
stock  to  which  they  are  attached,  is 
grown  by  a  reliable  nurseryman,  who  has 
complied  with  all  the  requirements  of 
law.  While  no  certificates  can  be  posi- 
tive guarantees,  they  serve  as  the  best 
possible  indication  that  all  stock  to 
which  they  are  attached  is  free  of  dan- 
gerously injurious  insects  and  plant  dis-

eases.  Buyers  of  nursery  stock  all  over 
the  country  are  beginning  to  realize  the 
importance  of  these  certificate  tags,  and 
nurserymen  who  succeed  in  shipping 
without  them,  are  at  a  decided  disad- 
vantage with  the  trade. 

Results. 

A  vast  amount  of  good  results  have 
been  obtained  by  this  law  alone.  Many 
states,  whose  orchard  industries  would 
have  beeh  entirely  ruined  by  the  dread 
San  Jose  scale,  now  have  their  fruit 
businesses  in  more  flourishing  condition 
than  before,  while  added  confidence  in- 
spired by  these  protective  rules  and 
regulations  have  given  tone  to  the  nur- 
sery stock  market.  The  work  in  Louis- 
iana will  serve  as  a  good  example  of  th© 
advantage  of  these  laws,  for  the  nursery 
inspection  work  has  been  in  force  but 
two  years,  and  the  improvement  in  nur- 
sery conditions  are  easily  noted.  I  will 
close  by  quoting  from  this  year's  report 
on  "The  Nursery  Business  of  Louisi- 
ana," which  I  made  to  Mr.  Newell  sev- 
eral weeks  ago. 

"The  second  year  of  the  nursery  in- 
spection work  of  the  state  crop  pest 
commission  of  Louisiana  has  just  been 
completed,    and    the    nursery    conditions

throughout  the  state  are  very  good. 
"Forty-nine  nurseries  have  been  in- 
spected, just  twenty-one  more  than  were 
inspected  last  season.  In  the  case  of 
fourteen  out  of  this  forty-nine,  San  Jose 
scale  in  slight  quantity  was  found  either 
in  the  nurseries  themselves,  or  so  close 
to  them  as  to  endanger  the  nursery  stock 
by  spreading,  while  chaff  scale  on  orange 
was  found  in  one.  To  date  all,  except 
five  nurserymen,  have  followed  the  direc- 
tions of  the  commission  and  have  suc- 
ceeded in  eradicating  the  scale  from  their 
premises.  In  the  case  of  the  delinquent 
five,  certificates  of  inspection  have  been 
refused  until  the  premises  are  thoroughly 
cleaned  up,  kept  under  quarantine  a  suffi- 
cient time,  then  reinspected  and  pro- 
nounced apparently  free  of  scale  by  the 
inspector.     Most  of  these   premises  will

probably  be  cleared  of  scale  in  the  near 
future,  as  almost  all  of  the  nurserymen 
in  Louisiana  fully  realize  the  importance 
of  getting  rid  of  these  pests.  Forty- 
three  certificates  of  inspection  have  been 
issued. 

"Since  this  inspection  syste^i  was  in- 
augurated last  season  the  amount  of  nur- 
sery stock  grown  in  the  state  has  in- 
creased almost  400  per  cent.  Last  season 
the  inspectors  of  the  commission  ex- 
amined 683,550  growing  marketable  trees 
and  shrubs.  This  season  the  number  has 
been  increased  to  2,172,632. 

"In  addition  to  the  above,  several 
thousand  orchard  trees,  which  were  grow- 
ing in  close  proximity  to  nurseries,  were 
examined. 

"On  the  whole,  the  status  of  the  nur- 
.  scry  business  of  the  state  is  most  en- 
couraging. The  extraordinary  increase 
of  salable  stock  in  one  season,  the  in- 
creased number  of  nurseries  inspectea, 
and  the  diminution  in  percentage  of 
nurseries  infested,  all  point  to  the  fact 
that  the  protection  and  assistance  given 
to  both  buyers  and  sellers  of  nurseiy 
stock  by  the  commission,  has  had  the 
effect  of  stimulating  the  state's  fruit 
industries. 


LENOX,  MASS. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Lenox 
Horticultural  Society  was  held  Saturday, 
March  2,  President  F.  Heeremans  in  the 
chair.  The  schedules  for  the  June,  Au- 
gust and  fall  exhibitions  were  read  and 
adopted.  This  being  carnation  night,  it 
brought  out  some  fine  exhibits.  The  fol- 
lowing exhibitors  were  awarded  first 
prizes:  A.  J,  Loveless,  for  a  fine  vase 
of  Robert  Craig;  F.  H«eremans,  for  En- 
chantress; A.  McConnachie,  for  Mrs.  T. 
W.  Lawson,  also  winning  for  a  vase  of 
mixed  varieties.  A.  H.  Wingett  staged 
a  vase  of  Stock  Queen  Alexandra  which 
was  much  admired,  some  of  the  spikes 
being  fully  three  feet  in  length,  and  was 
awarded  a  cultural  certificate,  also  for 
two  fine  vases  of  President  Carnot  and 
Bichmond  roses.  I  may  say  that  Rich- 
mond is  doing  remarkably  well  here,  al- 
though we  have  had  a  dull  winter,  and 
all  the  growers  speak  highly  of  it.

The  flowers  are  large,  of  splendid  form,  and  are  borne  very  freely  in  immense  clusters. 
The  color  Is  a  deep  rich  shining  scarlet  slightly  dappled  with  crimson.  Pollage  is  a  rioli

OTTAWA 

Is  a  strong  grower.  Tery  robust  and  5  to  6  feet  high.  The  flowers  are  large  and  beau-

sheen  and  you  can  imagine  the  effect  a  few  plants  will  produce. 

NOTE— We  bad  this  Oanna  on  trial  among  the  Oanadian  experimental  stations  last 
summer  and  this  is  the  official  report  of  their  expert:  "Quite  distinct  and  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  shades  of  color  I  ever  saw  in  Oannas.  Of  70  massed  in  one  bed  during  the  past 
season,  this  was  the  most  floriferous  in  the  collection,  coming  into  bloom  early  and  con- 
tinuing until  cut  down  by  frost,  as  many  as  13  expanded  beads  of  blooms  being  counted  at 
one  time  on  a  plant,  and  not  a  poor  one  among  them,  all  being  of  immense  size."  50c  each;

varieties  of  cannas.  The  color  is  ji  solid  rich  scarlet  covered  with  a  beautiful  glowing  sheen. 
The  flowers  are  large  and  contrast  beantifully  with  the  dark  bronze  foliage.  50c  each;

DENVER. 

The  Market. 

Favorable  weather  the  last  two  weeks 
made  the  cut  flower  and  plant  trade 
good.  Dinners  and  parties  are  not  plen- 
tiful but  a  large  demand  for  funeral 
v/ork  helped  to  use  up  the  accumulation 
of  stock.  The  market  is  well  supplied 
with  a  general  line. 

American  Beauty  roses,  especially  the 
select,  long-stemmed  ones,  are  not  seen 
in  any  large  quantities,  but  these,  as 
well  as  tea  roses,  are  beginning  to  come 
in  much  more  satisfactorily.  White  roses, 
on  account  of  funeral  demands,  have 
cleaned  up  nicely  and  Bridesmaids  near- 
ly as  well.  Both  of  these,  as  well  as 
Eichmond,  Liberty  and  Chatenay,  are 
of  good  quality. 

Carnations  are  in  good  supply,  but  the 
prices  remain  about  the  same.  They  will 
be  in  fine  condition  for  Easter  unless 
they"  go  off  crop ;  some  indications  point 
that  way, 

Violets  are  plentiful  and  any  number 
can  be  had  at  this  time.  It  is  said  some 
sold  under  a  dollar,  but  not  first-class 
stock.  Air  bulbous  stock  is  in  abundance, 
the  demand  not  being  quite  so  strong. 

Variottf  Notes. 

Geo.  M.  Kessler,  of  St.  Louis,  has  been 
called  to  take  up  the  work  of  improving 
the  park  and  boulevard  system  here. 

N.  A.  Benson,  the  carnation  grower, 
had  a  large  bunch  of  Aristocrat,  sent  by 
the  Chicago  Carnation  Co.,  on  exhibition 
at  the  Park  Floral  Co. 's  store,  so  that 
the  growers  and  storemen  might  see  it. 
It  is  certainly  a  good  keeper  and  that 
seemed  to  be  the  one  fact  all  were 
agreed  upon. 

The  Western  Bowling  Congress,  now 
in  session  here,  with  teams  from  all  over 
the  west,  from  Kansas  City  to  Port- 
land, opened  March  7  at  the  Coliseum. 
The  Florists'  League  had  a  five-men 
team  entered,  and  bowled  the  first  night. 
To  Boss  Mahan,  of  the  Alpha  Floral 
€p.,  belongs  the  honor  of  the  first  strike 
of  the  series.  N.  A.  Benson  had  high 
score,  namely,  213.

Annotiflcefflent- — Aristocrat 

As  we  have  not  made  all  the  deliveries  of  Aristocrat  as  promised,  we 
beg  to  announce  to  our  patrons  that  all  orders  are  being  filled  strictly 
in  rotation  and  all  orders  will  be  completed  by  the  20th  of  March,  as 
we  have  50,000  cuttings  in  the  sand  nearly  rooted  and  150,000  cuttings 
that  have  been  put  in  during  tbe  past  ten  days.  These  will  be  ready 
for  delivery  before  the  end  of  March,  which  is  not  too  late  for  Aristo- 
crat, as  it  is  a  very  rapid  grower,  free  from  disease  and  will  do  as  well 
as  earlier  cuttings  when  benched  in  the  fall.  The  variety  is  an  easy 
rooter,  but  owing  to  tbe  very  unfavorable  weather,  cuttines  did  not 
root  as  quickly  as  we  expected;  besides  we  are  growing  them  cool, 
which  takes  a  little  longer.  All  of  the  stock  we  have  sent  out  has 
given  the  best  of  satisfaction,  as  it  is  oar  aim  to  see  that  every  cutting 
Is  first-class  in  every  respect. 

We  wish  to  thank  our  patrons  for  their  patience  and  assuring 
you  of  our  very  best  attention  and  that  your  order  will  be  filled  by  the 
time  stated.

MABELLE 

NKW  PINK  CARNATION  FOR  1907 

Color — A  peculiar  shade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lig-hter  than  the  Law- 
son.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the  brightest  sun  does  not 
injure  the  color.  Slse— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
established.  Odor  —  Pleasing^,  but  not  stronsr. 
Sterna— Invariably  strong,  but  always  graceful,  rang- 
ing from  12  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Habit, 
etc. — A  very  quick,  active  grower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  On  ac- 
count of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  very 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  away  rapidly,  blooms  early 
and  giv^s  long  stems  right  from  the  start.  Prodnct- 
iTeneaa— Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
use  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  and 
late,  we  have  ever  grown.  Stock  limited.  No  discount. - 
Price  tl2.00  per  lOU;  tlOO.OO  per  1000.

*     GRAND  RAPIDS. 

Bright  weather  is  helping  the  tardy 
lily  crop  along  and  if  it  continues  most 
of  the  lilies  intended  for  Easter  will 
be  out.  There  is  no  doubt  about  the 
Crimson  Eamblers  being  ready,  as  the 
buds  are  showing  color  now.  Hydrangeas 
will  be  in,  but,  as  it  were,  at  the  eleventh 
hour.  Some  of  the  buds  are  showing 
color.  Of  tulips,  hyacinths  and  daffodils 
there  will  be  the  usual  big  Easter  crop. 
Violet  plants  in  6-inch  pans,  while  in 
seeming  good  supply,  will  be  exhausted 
before   Easter   arrives. 

In  cut  flowers,  roses  are  still  scarce, 
although  coming  in  more  freely  and  of 
improved  quality.  Carnations  are  more 
plentiful  but  moving  nicely,  with  white 
scarce.  The  plants  give  promise  of  hold- 
ing out  for  Easter  with  generous  cuts. 
Eoses  will  be  in  better  crop  at  Easter 
than  now. 

The  West  Michigan  State  Fair  people 
were  hot  after  the  state  legislature  for 
an  appropriation  of  $5,000  to  help  en- 
large its  educational  scope  and  offer 
additional  premiums,  but  were  at  the 
last  moment  turned  down,  and  $20,000 
voted  for  exhibiting  Michigan  industries 
at  the  Jamestown  exposition.  G.  F.  C. 


ELBERON,  N.  J. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Elberon 
Horticultural  Society  was  held'  March 
4,  Vice-president  Henry  "Wood  in'v'the 
chair.  Three  new  members  were  elected. 
The  schedule  of  the  second  annual  flower 
show,  which  will  be  held  July  '^i  and 
25,  was  adopted. 

Some  fine  exhibits  were  staged,  nota- 
bly a  vase  of  stocks.  Queen  Alexandra, 
shown  by  A.  Bauer;  vases  of  Proser- 
pine and  Belle  Alliance  tulips,  shown 
by  J.  Kennedy;  a  vase  of  Marie  Louise 
violets,  by  A.  Greib ;  a  vase  of  La  France 
violets,  by  F,  Dettlinger;  cauliflower 
and  lettuce,  by  P.  Murray,  and  carna-

The  Weekly  Florists'  Revie w» 


March  14,  1007. 


CINaNNATL 


The  Market. 


Business  was  good  during  the  last 
week  and  made  up  in  great  part  for 
wliat  slowness  there  was  the  week  pre- 
vious. Prices  stiffened  and  the  demand 
had  some  snap.  While  there  was  a  plen- 
tiful supply  of  all  kinds  of  flowers,  still, 
after  the  morning's  rush  was  over, 
there  was  little  left.  There  was  a 
scarcity  of  American  Beauties;  in  fact, 
this  flower  has  been  scarce  on  this  mar- 
ket all  season.  Red  roses  and  white  car- 
nations are  not  equal  to  the  demand. 

VariouB  Note*. 

We  are  beginning  to  notice  the  usual 
comments  on  the  green  carnation  for  St. 
Patrick's  day.  That  there  are  thou- 
sands of  carnations  so  doctored  for  this 
day  could  be  well  realized  if  you  could 
see  tlie  number  of  orders  for  the  dye 
that  are  being  filled  by  the  various  firms 
selling  this  stutf.  The  advance  orders 
for  white  carnations  for  that  time  call 
for  more  than  there  will  be  any  chance 
of  getting.  While  there  is  a  demand 
for  them,  there  will  be  green  carnations, 
and  all  that  can  be  said  will  have  little 
effect  upon  those  who  are  meeting  this 
demand.  There  is  nothing  that  can  ,be 
said  in  favor  of  this  practice  and  a 
whole   lot   against  it. 

A  meeting  of  the  Florists'  Society  was 
held  Saturday  evening  and  while  the  at- 
tendance was  light,  those  present  made 
up  in  enthusiasm.  The  subject  of 
flower  shows  was  again  talked  over  and 
it  was  decided  that  the  society  could  not 
afford  to  have  no  show  at  all.  As  it  had 
been  found  to  be  impracticable  to  hold 
a  large  mum  show,  as  was  at  first  talked 
of,  it  was  decided  that  we  will  have  a 
show  next  fall  and  it  will  be  made  just 
as  big  as  we  can  afford.  A  committee 
was  appointed  to  report  at  the  next  meet- 
ing, with  full  plans  laid  so  that  sched- 
ules can  then  be  issued  and  distributed. 
Within  a  couple  of  weeks  I  hope  to  be 
able  to  give  in  these  columns  a  full  re- 
port of  our  plans  for  next  season. 

John  E.  Haines,  of  Bethlehem,  Pa., 
sent  three  carnations  to  be  exhibited 
at  this  meeting,  but  owing  to  some  delay 
they  were  not  received  till  Sunday  morn- 
ing. Nevertheless  they  were  in  good 
condition.  They  were  Pink  Imperial,  on 
the  order  of  Lawson;  John  E.  Haines, 
a  beautiful  scarlet  color,  introduced  last 
year,  and  Imperial,  a  pink  variegated.

An  ImmeiiBe  Stock  of  Choice 

EASTER  PLANTS 

Blooming  Caster  Week 

or  earlier  if  desired,  are  now  ready 
for  immediate  shipment. 

Come  or  mall  your  order  direct  to  the  head- 
quarters. Our  reputation  over  the  entire  country 
from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific  In  growing  Eas- 
ter stock  for  the  wholesale  market  for  many 
years  past  ought  to  be  sufflclem  guarantee  as  to 
the  truih  of  what  we  say  and  aavenlse.  We 
have  every  house,  nook  and  corner  full  of  plants 
and  they  were  never  so  fine  as  this  year,  1907. 

While  laborers,  merchants,  jobbers,  contract- 
ors, builders,  etc.,  have  increased  their  prices  al- 
most double  as  usual,  we  have  not  advanced  our 
prices;  but  look,  we  sell  our  plants  at  the  same 
old  prices  charged  two  or  three  years  ago  when 
the  cost  of  producing  plants  was  much  cheaper. 

What  was  my  daty  on  my  trip  to  Ghent, 

Belginm  (the  land  of  azaleas,  aranoariaa 

and  palms),  last  fall,   1906?     Answer:    Of 

course,  the  interests  of  my  customers,  not 
speaking  of  the  IIQO  souvenir  cards  which  I 
mailed  to  my  customers  in  America.  For  the

WASHINGTON. 


Qub  Meeting. 

The  last  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the 
Washington  ilorists'  Club,  prior  to  the 
convention,  was  held  March  5,  with  a  good 
attendance.  All  oflSoers  of  the  preced- 
ing year  were  unanimously  reelected,  as 
follows:  President  Peter  Bisset;  vice- 
president,  Z.  D.  Blackistone;  secretary, 
Charles  McCauley;  treasurer,  W.  H.  Er- 
nest; board  of  directors,  George  C.  Shaf- 
fer and  W.  S.  Clark;  awards  committee, 
Charles  McCauley,  W.  S.  Clark,  John 
Eobertson,  Joseph  Freeman,  Jr.,  and 
JfitOSxa.a  Field.  Much  satisfaction  was 
expressed  by  the  club  at  the  efficient 
work  accomplished  by  each  officer,  and 
the  reports  were  excellent.  The  commit- 
tee on  arrangements  for  the  convention 
this  week  reported  good  progress.  No 
stone  has  been  left  unturned  to  make 
the  show  one  of  Washington's  greatest 
exhibitions.  Advertising  in  local  daily 
papers  was  resorted  to  and  they  have 
shown  a  keen  interest  and  published  much 
to  attract  the  general  public.  F.  H.  Kra- 
mer offered  a  cup  valued  at  $50  to  be 
bowled  for  March  15. 

Mr.  Shaffer  has  the  decorative  work 
of  the  banquet  hall  at  Arlington  hotel. 

Peter  Bisset  had  on  exhibition  eight 
magnificent  specimens  of  the  newer  types 
of  primroses,  which  attracted  much  at- 
tention. James  L.  Carbery  showed  a 
vase  of  Enchantress  and  one  of  Fla- 
mingo carnations. 


LovTELLViLLE,  O. — The  high  wind  of 
March  2  blew  the  sashes  off  the  green- 
houses of  Keuben  Darrow  and  broke 
them  badly. 

HooPESTON,  III. — Andrew  Peterson,  of 
Anderson,  Peterson  &  Co.,  of  Paxton  and 
Hoopeston,  and  who  recently  transferred 
his  residence  from  Paxton  to  Hoopeston, 
has  been  announced  as  a  candidate  for 
alderman  in  the  First  ward,  with  good 
prospects  of  being  elected. 

Albany,  N.  Y. — William  C.  Gloeckner 
has  opened  a  store  on  State  street,  be- 
tween Chapel  and  Lodge  streets.  He  is 
the  son  of  Mrs.  Catherine  Gloeckner,  who 
for  twenty-five  years  has  conducted  a 
greenhouse  business  on  Cemetery  avenue. 
Her  30,000  feet  of  glass  will,  as  far  as 
possible,  supply  the  stock  for  Mr.  Gloeck- 
ner's  store.

Th^Weefcly  Forists'  Review. 


1309 


Qreenhoflse  Beating. 

The  Kroeschell  Bros.  Co.,  Chicago,  is 
preparing  to  put  on  the  market  a  new 
size  of  «S  W«ll-known  hot  water  boiler. 
They  call  it  the  Jumbo,  because  it  is 
built  to  heAt  50,000  feet  of  glass  to  60 
degrees  wheil  it  is  15  degrees  below  zero 
outside. 

HEATING  TWO  HOUSES. 

We  wish  to  kn»w  how  many  flows  and 
returns  it  will  take  to  heat  the  follow- 
ing  houses:*  No.  1,  a  north  and  south 
house,  18x98,  and  ten  feet  to  the  ridge; 
the  side  waJls  four  and  one-half  feet 
high,  glass  ventilatord  in  the  east  wall 
and  a  greenhouse  on  the  west  side.  No. 
2,  an  east  and  west  house,  24x105,  and 
twelve  feet  to  the  ridge;  side  walls  four 
and  one-half  feet  high,  glass  ventilators 
in  the  south  wall;  the  north  wall  has 
no  protection.  The  houses  have  a  fall  of 
eighteen  iifches  from  the  end  to  the 
boiler-pit.  The  boiler  is  two  feet  lower 
than  the  lowest  part  of  either  house.  We 
have  a  lot  of  2-inch  pipe  and  would  like 
to  use  that  if  possible.  We  have  4-inch 
flows  and  returns  attached  to  the  boiler. 
Hot  water  is  used.  We  wish  to  maintain 
a  temperature  of  60  degrees  when  it  is 
10  degrees  below  zero.  B.  F.  Co. 


To  heat  house  No.  1  by  the  use  of 
2-inch  pipe,  twelve  runs  of  pipe  should 
be  installed.  This  can  be  supplied  by 
using  a  single  3-inch  flow  pipe  or  two 
lines  of  the  twelve  can  be  used  as  flow 
pipes,  the  remaining  ten  serving  in  two 
coils  of  five  each  as  returns.  House  No. 
2  can  be  heated  by  the  use  of  2-inch 
pipe  if  sixteen  lines  are  installed.  If  a 
single  riser  is  desired  a  3% -inch  pipe 
will  be  necessary.  If  2-inch  risers  are 
employed,  three  will  be  necessary.  The 
remaining  thirteen  pipes  can  be  divided 
into  three  coils,  thus  throwing  the  extra 
pipe  into  the  coil  on  the  most  exposed 
side  of  the  house.  L.  C.  C. 


PIPING  TWO  HOUSES. 

I  have  two  east  and  west  houses,  each 
22%xl50  and  ten  feet  to  the  ridge,  with 
cement  walls  and  sixteen  inches  of  glass 
on  each  wall.  Temperature  outdoors  has 
dropped  to  30  degrees  below  zero.  The 
north  house  is  for  carnations  and  sixty 
feet  of  the  south  house  is  used  for  roses, 
forty  feet  for  ferns  and  fifty  feet  for 
bedding  plants.  The  boiler-room  is  at 
the  northwest  corner  of  the  carnation 
house,  and  the  sixty  horse-power  steam 
boiler  is  set  two  and  one-half  feet  be- 
low the  lowest  heating  coil.  I  have  a 
large  boiler  because  I  expect  to  add 
more  houses.  My  feed  pipe  is  3-inch  and 
return  2-inch.  Can  I  use  a  reducing 
valve  on  the  feed  and  a  check-valve  on 
the  return  with  good  results?  I  am 
rather  short  on  1^-inch  pipe,  but  have 
plenty  of  2-inch.  Can  I  use  the  latter 
with  good  results  t  How  much  less  would 
it  take?  E.  K.  B. 

To  heat  the  house  221/^x150  with  steam 
by  the  use  of  2-inch  pipe,  the  house 
should  be  provided  with  a  3-inch  flow 
under  the  ridge  and  twelve  2-ineh  re- 
turns, or  eighteen  IJ^-inch  returns.  The 
main  return  is  a  little  small  to  supply 
the  two  houses.  A  4-inch  main  riser  would 
be  better,  unless  you  carry  an  independ- 
ent 3-inch  flow  from  the  boiler  to  each 
house.     You  can  use  reducing  valves  on

TOLEDO,  OHIO. 

Qub  Exhibition. 

The  meeting  of  the  Florists'  Club 
February  28  was  a  success.  We  had  a 
little  carnation  show  instead  of  a  regu- 
lar meeting,  and  the  show,  being  given 
to  invited  guests,  drew  quite  a  crowd. 
Carnations  were  given  to  the  ladies  as 
souvenirs.  The  exhibit,  though  not  large, 
was  good. 

J.  E.  Haines,  of  Bethlehem,  Pa., 
showed  a  vase  each  of  Imperial,  Pink 
Imperial  and  John  E.  Haines.  The  Pink 
Imperial  drew  the  attention  of  every- 
body. Its  stem,  and  that  of  Imperial, 
could  not  be  beat.  The  flowers  also  were 
immense. 

Aristocrat,  shown  by  the  Chicago  Car- 
nation Co.,  of  Joliet,  111.,  was  in  a  class 
by  itself,  and,  as  a  good  deal  has  been 
written  about  it,  I  need  only  say  that  it 
bore  out  all  reports. 

The  F.  K.  Pierson  Co.,  of  Tarrytown, 
N.  Y.,  showed  a  lot  of  White  En- 
chantress that  were  all  right  and  made 
the  writer  feel  glad  that  he  has  a  lot 
of  them  ordered.  Their  new  Winsor  is 
a  beauty,  and  if  we  can  do  it  the  way 
they  do,  it  will  be  one  of  the  best  things 
out. 

W.  E.  Hall,  of  Clyde,  O.,  showed  his 
new  red  seedling.  E.  G.  Gillett  and  a 
number  of  those  present  were  disap- 
pointed because  stock  of  it  can  not  yet 
be  bought.  We  hope  it  will  be  out 
soon. 

E.  W.  Hartmann,  of  Napoleon,  O., 
showed  vases  of  Lady  Bountiful  and 
Lawson  that  were  as  fine  as  any. 

Home  products  were  shown  by  the 
following : 

George  Bayer  had,  besides  the  regu- 
lar varieties,  a  few  seedlings  of  his  own. 

John  Gratopp  had,  heading  his  list  of 
standard  varieties,  a  large  vase  of  En- 
chantress that  took  every  eye. 

E.  A.  Kuhnke  showed  a  bunch  of  the 
newer  varieties  of  carnations,  also  a  few 
of  his  seedlings;  but  the  biggest  part 
of  his  exhibit  consisted  of  cyclamen, 
Scottii  and  Piersoni  ferns.  Asparagus 
plumosus,  and  calla  lily  plants. 

G.  W.  Haebich,  florist  at  the  State 
Hospital  for  the  Insane,  brought  a  vase 
of  standard  varieties,  as  well  as  his  white 
seedling  carnation,  the  latter  showing  up 
as  a  good  commercial  white,  something 
that  we  need  in  this  neighborhood. 

Krueger  Bros,  showed  only  a  vase  of 
Enchantress  in  the  carnation  line,  but  a 
few  vases  of  splendid  roses  made  up  for

DETROIT. 

ThcMaAct 

Busiuess  remains  fairly  good,  but  the 
market  is  glutted  with  colored  carnations 
and  a  variety  of  bulbous  stock. 

A  few  years  ago  few  orchids  were 
used  in  this  city,  but  they  became  more 
in  vogue  from  year  to  year  and  this  win- 
ter played  an  important  part  in  the 
daily  program  of  the  leading  retailers. 

Beauties  are  scarce.  A  fair  supply 
of  other  roses  is  arriving  daily,  but  they 
remain  well  cleaned  up.  White  carna- 
tions are  just  about  equal  to  the  de- 
mand. An  attempt  was  made  to  clean 
up  the  colored  stock  by  selling  on  the 
street,  but  the  weather  was  unfavorable. 
Smilax  is  exceedingly  scarce.  Common 
ferns  are  arriving  in  fair  supply,  but  the 
stock  is  poor. 

Qub  Meeting. 

The  last  regular  meeting  of  the  De- 
troit Florists'  Club  was  held  March  6. 
After  the  regular  routine  of  business,  a 
paper,  entitled  "My  Experience  in  Car- 
nation Growing"  was  read  by  A.  J. 
Stahelin.  The  paper  was  well  received 
and  brought  forth  quite  a  discussion. 
Mr.  Stahelin  was  given  a  vote  of  thanks. 

The  question  of  having  to  deliver 
flowers  at  the  back  door  of  apartment 
houses  was  talked  over.  Some  of  the 
members  claimed  they  had  given  their 
drivers  and  boys  instructions  not  to  go 
around  to  the  rear,  as  flowers  were  not 
for  the  kitchen,  but  for  the  lady  of  the 
house.  This  is  one  way  of  looking  at  it, 
but  if  our  customers  insist  on  it,  we 
must,  if  we  care  for  their  patronage, 
abide  by  their  wishes. 

A  spring  flower  show  is  on  for  the 
next  meeting  night,  March  20.  Mr. 
Unger,  of  Belle  Isle,  has  promised  to 
make  an  exhibit  of  some  unusually  fine 


cinerarias. 


Various  Notes. 


After  adjournment  of  the  meeting 
March  6  the  majority  of  the  members 
of  the  club  betook  themselves  to  a  nearby 
refreshment  parlor  and  enjoyed  the  hos- 
pitality of  Albert  Pochelon,  it  being  the 
occasion  of  his  birthday. 

Sunday  visitors  to  the  horticultural 
buildings  at  Belle  Isle  are  pleased  with 
the  unusually  fine  collection  of  ciner- 
arias. 

The  decorations  for  spring  openings 
have  created  a  big  demand  for  blooming 
plants.  Schroeter  is  busy  getting  ready 
for  the  spring  opening  of  Newcomb, 
Endicott  &  Co.  H.  S. 


Lexington,  Ky. — Invitations  are  out 
for  the  opening  of  the  new  store  of 
Honaker  the  Florist  March  19.

the  meat  of  this  greenhouse  boiler  question  in  short  order.  It 
shows  enough,  tells  enough,  but  does  not  weary  you  with 
endless  details.  It  treats  you  just  the  way  our  boilers  do 
your  greenhouses— they  get  busy  at  once.  Send  for  this  catalog.

'ou  can  see  plain 
enough  that 
with  this  valley  con- 
nection the  U-Bar 
construction  is  just 
about  as  light  as  any  construc- 
tion can  be,  and  be  enduring. 
U-Bar  greenhouses  are  the  best 
greenhouses  built  because 
there's  no  other  construction 
admits  of  such  light  connec- 
tion, or  makes  such  connection 
in  as  mechanical,  yet  pleasing 
way.  The  gardener  likes  the 
results  these  houses  give — the

results.  Send  for  catalog.

Great  Grates. 

As  fast  as  old  grate  bars  are  burned 
out  many  growers  are  putting  in  the 
Martin  rocking  grate.  The  call  for  this 
grate  is  largely  increased  by  the  fact 
that  the  growers  who  have  used  it  for 
one  or  more  seasons  are  almost  without 
exception  equipping  other  boilers  with  'it. 
The  grate  costs  considerably  more  than 
the  stationary  bars,  but  is  figured  to 
make  a  decided  saving  in  fuel,  and  that 
is  what   all  the  growers  are  after. 

^.  Various  Notes.

Will  burn  less  coal  per  pound  of  steam,  will  waste  less  coal  in  the 
ash-pit,  will  burn  more  different  grades  and  sorts  of  coal— more 
economically,  and  will  last  longer  than  any  other  grate  made.

BOMBAYREED 
JARDINIERES 


Are  What 
The  Florists 
Are  Using 
Nowadays! 

WHY? 

Because  they  wear.  They 
stand  exposure  to  sunlight 
and  moisture. 

They  are  not  made  of  grass 
or  split  willow,  but  from  the 
genuine  solid  bamboo  reeds, 
imported  direct  from  India 
for  our  own  use,  which  makes 
them  admirable  for  decorat- 
ing and  hard  usage. 


No.  7— Japanese. 


The  BOMBAYREED  JARDINIERES  are  quick  sellers,  too,  because  they  are  extensively  advertised 
in  the  popular  magazines.     We  create  a  big  demand. 

They  are  by  far  the  most  artistic  and  serviceable  jardinieres  on  the  market  today. 

We  offer  liberal  trade  discounts  and  solicit  your  inquiry  as  to  our  attractive  freight  allow- 
ances. All  our* jardinieres  are  made  in  nine  styles  and  in  all  colors.  Sizes  from  four  inches  up. 
Flexible  pot  covers  in  extra  large  sizes.     Our  prices  are  low  and  inviting. 

Don't  forget  that  our  Foliage  Green  colors  have  made  the  hit. 

See  our  artistic  window  boxes.

THE  NEW  PINK  ROSE 

AURORA 


•••• 


A  Rose  for  Everybody 


•••• 


This  Rose  is  a  seedling  from  Bon  Silene  and  Souvenir  du  President  Carnot.  The  flowers  are  large  and  full, 
and  are  produced  on  long  and  stiff  stems,  with  a  rich  dark  green  foliage.  The  color  is  a  beautiful  pink  with  a 
deeper  shading  in  the  center.  The  keeping  quality  of  the  flowers  is  excellent,  and  it  does  not  lose  its  brilliancy  of 
color  when  kept  in  the  cellar.  The  habit  of  growth  is  strong  and  vigorous;  it  has  absolutely  no  tendency  to  go 
dormant  during  the  winter  and  every  shoot  has  a  flower  bud. 

M  ■  I^B^^V^/%  has  inherited  the  productiveness  of  Bon  Silene  and  has  the  free  flowering  qualities  of  this 
>%  ^J  iC^^ICAm  well-known,  prolific  variety.     It  is  easy  to  grow,  and  does  not  need  a  high  temperature.

EASTER  PLANT  ARRANGEMENTS. 


A  Variety  Desirable. 

Probably  every  florist  who  sells  Easter 
plants  at  retail  will  have  use  for  more 
lilies  than  any  other  one  item  of  his 
stock,  but  there  is  a  great  sameness  in  a 
store  filled  full  of  lilies,  and  a  variety 
of  plants,  while  it  may  show  by  contrast 
in  the  sales  how  important  the  lily  is, 
will  do  a  great  deal  to  add  to  the  at- 
tractiveness of  the  store  and  will  be  of 
much  value  beyond  the  mere  profit  de- 
rived directly  from  sales.  "Variety  will 
bring  to  your  store  many  people  who 
would  not  enter  one  easily  seen  to  con- 
tain little  but  lilies. 

Even  though  you  may  not  expect  to 
sell  many  large  plant  arrangements,  it 
is  wise  to  have  a  few  for  purposes  of 
display.  The  stock  used  in  fixing  up 
large  show  pieces  usually  is  not  all  loss, 
for  most  of  it  can  be  used  in  making 
up  work  after  Easter,  and  a  good  show- 
ing is  worth  all  it  costs;  not  a  display 
beyond  the  point  of  reason,  but  one 
which  will  do  you  credit  in  a  world 
where  appearances  count  for  a  great 
deal.  As  the  Sage  of  Corfu  once  ad- 
vised some  young  men  just  starting  in 
business,  "Wash  all  you  got,  and  hang 
out  all  you  wash." 

The  Lily  the  Leader. 

You  will  no  doubt  sell  a  great  many 
lilies,  probably  the  majority  in  pots 
with  no  other  embellishment  than  a 
crepe  paper  pot  cover,  but  you  will  find 
a  good  profit  in  varying  the  stock  by 
making  them  up  in  a  number  of  ways 
with  other  plants.  The  lily  goes  with 
everything.  We  have,  indeed,  seen 
Easter  UUes  and  Crimson  Rambler  roses 
made  up  together  in  baskets  and  ham- 
pers, and,  despite  the  fact  that  one 
might  omit  to  mention  these  two  as  suit- 
able to  combine,  they  did  not  look  mis- 
placed. 

In  practically  every  case  the  addition 
of  the  accessories  adds  to  the  selling 
price,  so  that  the  profit  on  the  baskets 
and  ribbon  is  a  better  percentage  than 
is  made  on  the  plants  if  sold  unadorned. 
An  inexpensive  arrangement  is  the  lily 
shown.  If  you  sold  the  lilies  alone  $2 
would  be  the  limit  for  the  eight  flowers, 
and  the  chances  are  you  would  not  count 
the  bud,  so  you  would  get  only  $1.75. 
But  with  the  addition  of  the  birch  bark 
box,  the  light  blue  bow  and  a  few  small 
ferns,  it  easily  becomes  worth  $4.50  to 
$5,  according  to  the  kind  of  trade  you 
cater  to. 

Moderate  Priced  Plants. 

Speaking  of  prices,  moderate  and  other- 
wise, even  the  "swellest"  stores  have 
to  carry  some  stock  which  is  well  within 
the  means  of  the  ordinary  purse,  not  so 
much  for  the  cheaper  transient  trade  as 
for  the  regular  wealthy  patron  who 
wants  something  not  expensive  to  send 
to  an  acquaintance  whose  station  is  just 
outside  the  charmed  circle.     Now,  in  a 


big  city,  where  the  fashionable  stores 
are,  you  cannot  afford  to  sell  low-priced 
stuff  except  at  a  big  profit;  expenses  of 
delivery,  etc.,  are  too  heavy.  We  know 
one  city  retailer  who  thinks  he  cannot 
afford  to  deliver  a  purchase  at  Christ- 
mas or  Easter  if  he  does  not  make  at 
least  a  dollar  on  the  sale.    Of  course  he 


profit  in  that  and  the  plants  looked  well 
worth  the  money. 

A  W^ord  About  Baskets. 

Nowadays  the  basket  is  used  for  every 
conceivable  purpose.  There  was  a  time 
when  the  basket  of  flowers  led  at  once 
to  the  thought  of  the  sweet  girl  graduate. 
But  in  this  later  day  they  send  the  ward 
politician  a  basket  of,  cowslips,  maybe, 
or  flowering  dogwood,  when  he  is  ap- 
pointed poundmaster.  But  the  basket 
never  seems  out  of  place  when  it  is  of 
proper  color.  Frequently  the  colors  are 
too  bright.  They  should  never  be  of  a 
character  to  attract  the  eye  from  the 
plants  or  flowers  they  contain.  The 
basket  should  be  in  keeping  with  the 
flowers;  light  and  graceful  for  cut 
blooms;   heavier  for  plants  and  in  pro-

many  times  has  it  to  do,  but  this  is  the 
way  he  fixed  up  his  low-priced  stock 
last  year:  He  bought  a  spiraea 
(astilbe)  for  $1,  added  one  of  the  ad- 
justable baskets  and  a  bow  of  chiffon 
and  marked  it  $3.  He  did  the  same 
thing  with  the  deutzia.    There  was  good 


portion  to  their  size.  Don't  try  to  fill 
a  big  basket  with  small  plants  by  using 
more  of  them.  You  will  only  partly  suc- 
ceed. 

The  willow  or  bamboo  basket  is  good 
where  the  material  to  be  used  is  heavy, 
but  the  twig  basket  is  hard  to  beat  as

a  plant  receptacle.  it  is  offered  in 
dozens  of  shapes  and  sizes  and  goes  well 
with  almost  every  flowering  or  foliage 
plant. 

For  Variety. 

The  bougainvillea  is  a  plant  which  al- 
ways attracts  attention.  It  does  not 
always  please,  but  a  few  are  useful.  The 
one  illustrated  was  a  rather  ungainly 
plant,  and  not  especially  well  flowered, 
but  it  took  the  eye  of  every  one  who 
entered  the  store  where  it  stood  just 
before  Easter  last  year :  '  *  What  an 
odd  plant,"  was  the  almost  invariable 
comment.  It  sold  for  only  $3,  but  it 
paid.  The  pot  cover  was  deep  green 
crepe  paper  outside,  and  inside  a  cou]>le 
of  folds  of  deep  red  to  match  the 
flowers. 

Of  course  the  rambler  roses  will  be 
largely  in  evidence  this  Easter.  Small 
plants  of  the  Crimson  Rambler,  and  the 
new  ubiquitous  Baby  Rambler  will  be 
used  by  thousands  to  make  up  all  sorts 
of  baskets,  hampers,  etc.  Larger,  well 
flowered  plants  are  best  with  little  adorn- 
ment; possibly  only  a  stone  jardiniere  of 
some  dark  color. 

The  Omnipresent  Plants. 

You  will  never  see  an  Easter  without 
plenty  of  azaleas.     There  are  those  who 


vogue.     You   need   little   if   any   ribbon 
about  an  azalea. 

Primroses  and  bulb  stock  are  the 
staples  of  Easter  stock,  second  only  to 
the  lily.  You  can  make  them  up  in  a 
hundred  ways,  at  any  cost  you  wish. 
Several  of  these  staple  arrangements 
Avere  shoAvn  in  last  week's  Review. 

Inexpensive  Novelties. 

The  average  store  will  be  able  to  sell 
a  great  many  of  the  little  things  like 
lichen-grown  shoes  filled  with  ferns,  the 
small  Pompeian  jars  filled  with  selag- 
inella,  asparagus,  etc.;  indeed,  many 
sales  Avill  be  missed  if  more  or  less  of 
these  things  are  not  shown,  both  at 
Christmas  and  Easter.  What  you  don't 
sell  at  one  holiday  you  can  lay  away  for 
the  other. 

Last  year  the  chicks  and  goslings  were 
widely  used.  They  went  into  practically 
every  plant  arrangement,  whether  it  was 
a  little  one  for  a  table  center-piece  or  a 
big  basket  for  window  display.  The 
department  stores  got  hold  of  them  and 
made  them  more  common  than  they 
would  become  through  florists'  use,  but 
that  is  not  likely  to  injure  their  popu- 
larity outside  of  the  extreme  set,  to 
whom  few  of  us  cater. 

The  ribbon  used  this  season  will  be 
more   largely   chiffon   than   ever   before.

say  they  do  not  sell  as  well  as  they  once 
did.  They  are  best  decorated  only  with 
a  pot  cover.  Some  decorators  wrap 
crepe  paper  about  them  until  it  is  an 
impossibility  to  see  the  flowers  at  all 
except  from  above.  This  is  all  wrong 
and  fortunately  is  not  often  seen  since 
ste    for    the    natural    has    come    into 


Tlie  use  of  ribbon  is  increasing  steadily, 
but  the  tendency  is  moving  from  the 
heavy  material  once  so  commonly  em- 
ployed and  toward  lighter  effects. 


Catskill,  N.  Y. — ^Henry  Hansen  says 
that  from  all  indications  Easter  trade 
will  break  the  best  records. 


COLOR  COMBINATIONS. 

The  art  of  color  combination  is  one  of 
the  priceless  gifts  to  the  florist  who  pos- 
sesses it.  There  is  nothing  more  valu- 
able to  the  retailer  than  a  knowledge  as 
to  how  to  handle  colors.  It  is  not  only 
a  tremendous  factor  in  the  success  of 
made-up  work  and  decorations,  but  em- 
ployed in  a  window  display  it  is  an  ad- 
vertisement ahead  of  anything  which 
can  be  achieved  with  no  special  expense. 

When  a  window  is  filled  with  all  sorts 
of  flowers  and  accessories  the  result  is 
never  so  good  as  it  might  be  with  those 
of  one  color,  and  its  shades  and  tints. 
For  instance,  one  of  the  most  attractive 
windows  in  Chicago  recently  was  ar- 
ranged by  O.  J.  Friedman,  all  yellow. 
The  flowers  were  daffodils;  the  recep- 
tacles were  golden  brown;  the  ribbons 
were  yellow;  the  green  was  light  aspara- 
gus. 

Another  attractive  display  at  the  same 
time  was  that  of  the  Fleischman  Floral 
Co.,  which  was  all  in  shades  of  purple. 
The  low  pieces  were  filled  with  violets, 
larger  ones  with  Dutch  hyacinths,  and 
the  background  was  of  purple  rhododen- 
drons. The  ribbon  used  was  purple  and 
the  whole  effect  was  one  which  would 
appeal  to  any  artistic  taste. 


THE  VALUE  OF  SYSTEM. 

Easter  is  like  Christmas  in  a  good 
many  other  respects  than  that  it  comes 
but  once  a  year.  It  brings  a  rush  that 
overtaxes  facilities  designed  for  every- 
day purposes  and  brings  out  the  value  of 
system  as  no  other  test  can  show  it  up. 
You  may  have  ever  so  good  stock  and  do 
a  splendid  business,  bu^  if  your  system 
is  at  fault  you  will  be  hopelessly  at  sea 
when  one  of  these  rushes  comes. 

Because  of  the  difficulty  of  securing 
capable  help  for  only  a  couple  of  days, 
in  most  stores  it  is  the  custom  for  all 
hands  to  help  sell  during  business  hours 
and  then  turn  in  after  closing  time  and 
work  perhaps  the  better  part  of  the 
night  getting  orders  put  up  for  delivery 
Easter  morning.  If  you  work  it  this 
way  you  will  save  a  great  deal  of  fric- 
tion by  having  each  clerk  put  up,  or  at 
least  inspect,  the  orders  he  has  himself 
taken.  In  a  hurry  time  it  is  impossible 
to  write  down  all  the  details  of  every 
order  and  a  wide-awake  clerk  will  be  on 
the  watch  to  see  that  he  meets  the  slight 
preferences  of  the  customer  as  he  learned 
of  them  in  making  the  sale.  Where  the 
orders  are  taken  by  one  person  and  filled 
by  another  it  is  necessary  to  get  every 
little  detail  down  on  the  order  if  we  are 
to  give  the  fullest  satisfaction  to  the 
customer. 

We  find  order  sheets  more  satisfactory 
than  order  books,  for  several  reasons. 
Ours  are  fashioned  after  the  charge 
tickets  of  a  department  store,  but  we 
make  only  one  copy.  The  heading  of 
the  slips  reads,  "Deliver  to;  charge  to; 
day ;  hour ; ' '  etc.  We  make  a  separate 
order  for  every  gift  a  customer  may 
have  us  send ;  the  more  the  merrier.  The 
cards  are  often  a  fruitful  cause  of  com- 
plaint, but  we  avoid  this  by  entering  the 
word  "card"  as  a  part  of  the  order,  if 
one  is  to  be  sent.  It  is  checked  off  like 
any  other  part  of  the  order  in  filling.  If 
we  do  not  have  the  customer's  card  as  a 
part  of  our  regular  stock  the  one  that 
is  left  to  go  with  an  order  is  put  in  an 
envelope  and  attached  to  the  order  with 
a  little  wire  clip.  If  a  special  plant  is 
sold  the  order  slip  is  made  out  as  usual, 
tag  written  and  attached  to  the  plant,

the  order  checked  as  filled  and  the  pack- 
age placed  on  the  delivery  counter.  We 
charge  from  the  filled  order  slips. 

When  we  are  selling  for  a  holiday,  like 
Easter,  when  some  stock  is  wanted  for 
delivery  Saturday  and  some  for  Sunday 
morning,  we  set  aside  space  for  each 
day's  deliveries.  If  a  plant  arrange- 
ment is  sold  for  delivery  Saturday  it 
goes  at  once  with  Saturday 's  deliveries, 
if  for  Sunday  then  with  Sunday's  lot. 
Of  course  we  divide  each  lot  into  smaller 
lots,  according  to  the  part  of  town  they 
are  in,  so  that  they  won't  get  a  longer 
ride  than  necessary. 

One  great  fault  with  many  retail 
florists,  and  with  a  good  many  of  their 
employees,  is  a  lack  of  appreciation  of 
the  value  of  promptness.  You  have  to 
be  there  on  time  or  there  soon  won't  be 
any  occasion  for  going  there  at  all.  A 
20-dollar  funeral  design  is  not  worth 
two  whoops  in  the  hot  place  after  the 
late  lamented  is  on  the  way  to  the  ceme- 
tery, and  excuses  in  such  a  case  are 
about  the  most  futile  things  on  earth. 
What  if  the  wagon  did  break  down,  or 
the  messenger  boy  stop  to  see  a  dog 
fight  f  You  must  allow  for  the  unex- 
pected. A  lily  delivered  Sunday  after- 
noon, after  you  have  had  three  telephone 
calls  about  it,  is  a  poor  substitute  for 
the  one  promised  at  9  a.  m.  Devise  a 
system  that  will  get  you  there  on  time. 

NEVER  TROUBLE  TROUBLE. 

Trouble,  trouble,  let  me  be. 

Trouble,  trouble,  twenty-three! 

Trouble,  trouble,  prunes  for  you. 

Trouble,  trouble,  oh  sklddoo. 

"You  will  have  no  trouble  if  you 
buy  your  plants  at  Roselawn  Greenhouse. 
AE  of  our  plants  are  grown  south  and 
fully  acclimated.  New  plants  coming 
right  along  every  day." 

This  is  the  advertisement  of  H.  L. 
!Neal,  Seguin,  Tex.,  printed  in  his  local 
paper.      He    says    that    he    believes    one 


should  ' '  Never  trouble  trouble  till 
trouble  troubles  you, ' '  but  it  wasn  't 
much  trouble  to  get  this  next  to  the 
society  column,  ' '  a  good  place  for  a 
florist's  adv.,"  and  "by  night  everyone 
around  town  was  repeating  the  nonsense 
verse."  Mr.  Neal  writes:  "\  change 
every  week  and  have  no  standing  adv. 
1  read  and  read  again  everything  you 
publish  about  advertising.  It  is  a  fine 
art  and  your  paper  has  helped  me  great- 
ly." 


EASTER  HINTS. 

How  the  time  does  fly  I  Here  we  are 
again,  up  to  Easter  time,  with  its  hard 
work  and  cares,  and  another  cold  winter, 
with  its  lessons  of  successes  and  failures, 
behind  us ;  another  year 's  experience 
gained,  which,  if  properly  assimilated, 
should  enable  ua  to  step  up  to  a  little 
higher  standard  than  we  have  attained  in 
the  past. 

Of  course  Easter  time  is  practically 
the  close  of  the  violet  season;  near 
enough,  so  chat  we  can  draw  our  conclu- 
sions as  to  the  season's  profits  (or  losses, 
which  we  hope  have  been  nil)  and  clearly 
outline  our  plans  for  the  coming  season, 
that  we  may  have  been  formulating  dur- 
ing the  winter,  only  waiting  for  the  out- 
come of  this  season  to  make  us  sure  of 
our    demands   and    opportunities    to    dis- 


pose of  a  larger  or  smaller  crop  next  year. 
It  is  to  be  presumed  that  in  view  of 
your  probable  desire  to  increase,  that 
you  have  been  propagating  sufficient 
stock  so  that  there  will  be  no  need  of 
buying,  even  if  you  devote  considerable 
more  space  next  year  to  violet  culture. 

If  by  any  chance  you  have  not  as 
much  stock  as  you  wish,  if  you  have 
taken  proper  care  of  your  houses,  we 
would  still  prefer  to  increase  our  stock, 
by  separating  the  crowns,  to  running 
the  risk  of  buying  stock  from  other  grow- 
ers, although,  as  a  rule,  this  is  a  poor 
way,  as  you  are  so  likely  to  have  weak- 
ened plants  which  will  be  more  liable  to 
diseases,  etc.  However,  by  careful  selec- 
tion and  proper  care,  it  will,  as  a  rule, 
be  much  better  than  the  stock  you  will 
jnirchase  from  unknown  parties  and 
which  has  been  shaken  about  on  the  cars. 

A  word  of  caution  may  not  be  amiss 
liere  to  some  in  regard  to  the  houses  and 
blooms;  while,  as  I  said,  this  practically 
closes  the  season,  still,  if  the  weather 
continues  so  much  colder  than  is  season- 
able you  should  be  able  to  keep  the 
plants  in  blooming  order  for  some  time 
yet.  Every  flower  picked  after  Easter, 
in  a  way,  might  be  considered  clear  gain, 
at  least,  aside  from  the  time  spent  in 
[)i(king  tliom.  However,  it  will  take  but 
a  little  carelessness,  or  neglect  in  ven- 
tilating, watering,  etc.,  to  speedily  ruin 
tlie  flowers,  which,  at  best,  will  be  grow- 
ing lighter  colored  and  smaller. 

in  sending  out  your  retail  order  for 
Easter,  or,  in  fact,  any  time,  be  extremely 
careful  of  the  color  tone  of  any  acces- 
sories in  the  way  of  ribbons,  cards  or 
what  not.  It  must  be  just  right,  or  it  is 
worse  than  nothing.  For  instance,  the 
shade  that  would  do  for  Marie  Louise 
would  never  do  for  Lady  Hume  Camp- 
bell, or  vice  versa.  If  you  desire  a  con- 
trast in  shade,  never  use  anything  darker 
than  the  flowers  themselves,  for  the  re- 
sult, if  you  do  so,  will  be  to  cause  them

to  look  faded  and  old ;  but  this  is  enough 
to  jog  your  memory  about  this. 

Again,  in  your  hurry  remember  that 
they  are  very  susceptible  to  odors  of  all 
kinds,  and  your  helpers  must  not  let  them 
lie  around,  even  for  a  short  time,  in 
contact  with  anything  but  the  regular 
vases  or  dishes  that  you  employ  espe- 
cially for  them.  The  same  care  must  be 
used  in  regard  to  the  receptacle  that  they 
are  packed  in  for  delivery.  Don 't  forget 
the  waxed  paper  and  suitable  box  and 
cord,  or  ribbon,  with  which  it  is  tied. 
All  of  these  little  things  are  large  fac- 
tors in  making  pleased  and  perfectly 
satisfied  customers,  and  these  are  what 
we  all  desire  and  must  have  to  make  our 
business  a  success,  even  at  some  trouble 
and  expense  on  our  part.

FERNS  FROM  SPORES. 

Perhaps  a  few  notes  on  the  art  of 
fern  growing  as  practiced  by  growers 
for  Covent  Garden,  London,  may  be  of 
some  interest  to  the  readers  of  the  Re- 
view. No  doubt  many  American  florists 
have,  when  visiting  England,  paid  a 
visit  to  the  garden,  and  personally  wit- 
nessed the  vast  quantities  of  ferns  dis- 
posed of  during  the  course  of  a  morning. 
To  those  who  are  interested  from  the 
pecuniary  point  of  view,  it  may  be  stated 
that  small  ferns,  chiefly  of  the  pteris 
family,  are  put  up  in  trays  containing 
fifteen  2% -inch  pots  and  sold  at  24 
cents  to  36  cents  per  tray;  some  growers 
selling  at  the  latter  price  from  200  to 
300  boxes  during  the  hours  from  4  a.  ifi. 
to  9  a.  m.,  at  which  latter  hour  the  mar- 
ket closes. 

The  first  care  to  the  successful  rais- 
ing of  ferns  from  spores  is  to  get  a  sup- 
ply of  spores  from  fronds  fully  matured 
and  of  perfect  form,  and  collect  from 
plants  that  have  shown  vigorous  growth 
from  the  commencement.  You  may  pos- 
sibly find  the  spores  overripe,  in  which 
case  they  are  hardly  worth  taking.  To 
determine  when  they  are  just  fit,  one 
must  be  guided  by  the  color.  Of  course 
different  species  have  different  colors, 
such  as  yellow  in  Polypodium  aureum, 
dark  brown  in  pteris,  and  so  on;  but  in 
the  majority  of  instances  it  is  easily 
discovered  by  passing  the  finger  over 
the  spore-cases  and  if  the  spores  adhere 
they  are  usually  in  a  fit  state  to  collect. 

The  fronds,  when  collected,  should  be 


wrapped  in  a  piece  of  paper,  named  and 
dated  and  laid  upon  a  hot  pipe  for  a 
week  or  so,  by  which  time  they  ought  to 
be  quite  dry  and  in  a  fit  state  to  shake 
out  and  sow.  Prepare  quite  new  5-inch 
pots,  sterilize  the  soil  and  burn  or  bake 
some  virgin  soil  black.  Don't  burn  it 
brown,  for  two  reasons:  It  holds  too 
close  together,  and  black  soil,  by  showing 
the  spores  as  you  are  sowing,  enables 
you  to  determine  how  thick  they  are. 
The  query  may  arise,  why  use  burnt 
soil  when  the  soil  is  sterilized?  First, 
to  assist  in  sowing  the  spores,  and,  sec- 
ond, because  it  does  not  take  the  dreaded 
moss  and  fungus  so  readily. 


Crock  your  pots  well,  place  the  steril- 
ized soil  therein,  carefully  make  firm 
and  even,  put  your  burnt  soil  on  top, 
place  the  pot  in  a  clean  saucer  and  fill 
the  saucer  with  water  drawn  from  the 
main  and  not  from  a  tank,  thus  avoid- 
ing the  risk  of  getting  the  spores  of 
aliens.  Make  quite  sure  your  pot  drinks 
well  before  sowing;  that  is  to  say,  see 
that  the  pot  gets  thoroughly  saturated 
and  the  mold  gets  wet  upward  from  the 
bottom  and  your  burnt  soil  on  top  is 
quite  moist  all  over. 

Now  everything  is  ready  for  sowing. 
Be  careful  there  are  no  draughts,  else 
you  will  lose  thousands  of  spores,  besides 
getting  them  hopelessly  mixed.  One 
slight  tap  under  the  paper  is  usually 
sufficient  to  distribute  enough  spores  to 
cover  your  pot;  don't  overdo  it;  it  is 
easier  to  sow  too  many  than  too  thinly. 

Place  a  glass  over  the  top  of  the  pot, 
and  if  you  place  the  pots  just  under  a 
hot  pipe  in  a  greenhouse,  you  will  find 
that  there  will  be  very  little  condensa- 
tion on  the  glass  in  the  morning.  Should 
there  be  any  water,  however,  under  the 
glass,  turn  it  over. 

The  next  stage,  when  the  prothallus 
appears,  calls  for  your  greatest  judg- 
ment; for  it  is  now  when  the  success, 
or  otherwise,  of  your  efforts  will  be  de- 
termined. Your  pots  will  be  covered 
with  prothallus,  which,  when  examined 
under  a  microscope,  looks  truly  pretty. 

It  is  advisable  at  this  stage  not  to 
keep  the  saucers  constantly  filled  with 
water,  as  you  are  liable  to  have  damping 
off  take  place,  and  it  is  exceedingly  dif- 
ficult to  prevent  it  when  once  started. 
Rely  upon  the  appearance  of  the  pots 
themselves  and  watch  your  prothallus  and 
water  accordingly.  SRould  you  by  an 
oversight  allow  a  pot  to  become  too  dry.

by  no  means  dump  it  until  you  have 
given  it  a  trial;  immerse  it  in  water  up 
to  the  rim  until  it  is  quite  wet,  but  don 't 
let  the  water  overflow. 

When  the  little  fronds  appear  in 
places,  immediately  prick  off  in  flats, 
not  flats  large  enough  to  prick  off  seed- 
ling quercus  into,  but  handy  flats  two 
inches  deep,  71/2x141/2-  This  size  you  will 
find  quite  deep  enough.  By  the  time 
the  roots  reach  the  bottom  they  will  be 
large  enough  to  pot  on.  Don't  make 
the  mistake  of  letting  your  plants  get 
so  large  that  the  roots  require  to  be  torn 
apart  when  potting,  and  have  your  loam 
mixed  with  a  third  of  sifted  peat  with 
a  dash  of  sand;  this  prevents  the  soil 
from  caking. 

The  other  stages  must  be  described  at 
a  future  date.  Finally,  attend  to  shad- 
ing. Your  pots  won't  hurt  if  under  a 
stage  near  a  pipe,  but  you  must  bring 
them  into  greater  light  to  harden  them 
off  a  little  before  they  are  fit  to  prick 
off,  and  at  all  times  protect  them  from 
brilliant  sunshine.        Langley  Tudor. 


recommended  by  E.  Lockerbie  and  W.  B. 
Patterson,  Jr.  It  consisted  of  bran  or 
corn-meal,  Paris  green  and  enough  syrup 


to  make  it  sweet,  the  mixture  to  be 
spread  alongside  the  plants  and  around 
the  benches. 

On  Friday  morning,  the  last  day  of 
the  convention,  E.  Lockerbie,  referring 
to  the  growing  of  carnations  in  the 
south,  said  that  a  different  style  of 
liouse,  such  as  is  used  in  the  north, 
should  be  established  here.  More  atten- 
tion should  be  paid  to  ventilation,  so  as 
to  get  the  benefit  of  fresh  air  and  pro- 
tection from  insects. 

The  closing  discussion  Friday  evening 
was  in  reference  to  two  important  shrubs 
of  Louisiana  —  Magnolia  fuscata  and 
sweet  olive.  Thus  far  the  propagation 
has  been  made  from  layers,  which  make 
good  plants,  but  the  process  is  slow.  E. 
Baker  and  others  thought  that  the  plants 
can  be  grown  successfully  from  cuttings, 
grafts  and  seeds. 

Several  members  wanted  to  know  how 
to  keep  Aspidistra  lurida  from  reverting 
to  green.  P.  A.  Chopin  and  B.  M.  Wich- 
ers  advised  giving  the  plants  rather  poor 
soil,  starved  plants  showing  more  varie- 
gation than  those  in  rich  soil. 

To  hear  J.  A.  Newsham  tell  it,  orchid 
culture  is  the  simplest  thing  imaginable. 
He  is  just  now  starting  in  to  supply  the 
south  with  cut  blooms  of  orchids,  and  we 
hope  he  finds  it  the  simple  matter  his 
talk  on  the  subject  would  indicate.  In 
speaking  of  growing  mums,  he  said  that 
no  doubt  protection  must  be  provided  to 
finish  the  flowers  perfectly,  owing  to  the 
climate  and  the  number  of  insect  pests 
one  has  to  contend  with  in  the  south,  but 
a  good  grade  of  commercial  flower  can  be 
raised  in  New  Orleans  if  grown  outdoors 
and  protected  by  glass  as  soon  as  the 
buds  appear. 

Paul  Abele  told  of  his  method  of  grow- 
ing Harrisii  lilies  in  pots,  which  he  has 
tried  for  the  first  time  this  year,  and 
which  has  turned  out  a  perfect  success. 
He  expects  to  have  his  stock  in  fine  shape 
for  Easter.  M.  M.  L. 


CONVENTION  HINTS. 

At  the  annual  convention  of  the  So- 
ciety of  Southern  Florists,  held  at  New 
Orleans,  February  14  to  16,  there  were 
some  interesting  discussions,  more  or  less 
spontaneous.  In  one  of  these  discus- 
sions B.  M.  Wichers  gave  a  remedy  for 
destroying  cutworm  on  nephrolepis.  The 
formula  is  as  follows:  One  level  tea- 
spoonful  of  Paris  green,  one  teaspoon- 
ful  of  lime  diluted  in  five  gallons  of 
water.  Sprinkle  the  plants  and  foliage 
at    intervals    of    a   week.

SPACE  FOR  MUMS. 

Will  9x9  inches  besuflBcient  room  to 
produce  a  good  grade  of  commercial 
mums,  two  flowers  to  a  plant,  of  such 
varieties  as  Eaton  and  Chadwick,  planted 
about  June  1?  How  much  headroom 
should  Monrovia  have  if  buds  are  taken 
about  August  1?  G.  J.  B. 

I  would  say  that  a  distance  of  9x9 
inches,  planting  chrysanthemums  to 
grow  two  stems  to  a  plant,  will  produce 
a  fair  grade  of  flowers,  but  not  the 
best.  Personally,  I  grow  most  of  my 
kinds  that  distance  and  take  up  only 
one  shoot.  That  flower  I  expect  to 
wholesale  in  the  neighborhood  of  50 
cents.  Whether  or  not  G.  J.  B. 's  mar- 
ket runs  that  way,  is  for  him  to  say. 
My  own  idea  is  to  grow  the  very  finest 
grade  of  flowers,  but  I  realize  that,  in 
many  cities,  such  a  grade  cannot  be 
marketed  at  a  profit.  I  sold  the  White 
Duckham  (Miss  Clay  Frick)  at  $1  each, 
wholesale,  in  New  York  last  fall,  but  I 
question  if  any  other  city  in  the  coun- 
try would  pay  the  price,  or  even  New 
York  for  a  great  quantity.  Varieties 
like  Ivory,  that  have  very  small  foliage, 
can  be  grown  much  closer  than  the 
average  kinds  and,  if  G.  J.  B.  is 
familiar  with  his  sorts,  he  can  save  much 
space  and  still  produce  a  fine  grade  of 
flowers. 

Monrovia,  planted  June  1  and  the 
early  bud  taken,  should  have  ample 
room  in  three  feet  six  inches  of  head- 
room. If  plants  were  very  small  it 
might  not  need  even  that,  while,  if 
plants  were  in  good  shape  at  planting 
time,  it  probably  would  need  fully  that 
space.  Monrovia  brought  a  phenomenal 
price  last  year  and  almost  every  florist 
has  his  calculations  made  for  a  batch 
of  it  this  year.  Whether  they  will  all 
succeed  in  getting  it  early  is  another 
question,  and  whether  the  market  will 
be  so  bare  of  other  flowers  as  it  was 
last  fall  is  still   another.

CHRYSANTHEMUM  NOTES.- WEST 


Propagating. 

The  chrysanthemum  is  our  grand  fall 
flower  and  it  is  now*  getting  time  to 
make  preparations  for  another  season. 
We  must  see  that  we  will  be  well  sup- 
plied with  good  stock  to  plant  on  the 
benches  when  the  proper  time  is  at  hand. 

If  you  have  retained  stock  plants  from 
last  fall  they  should  be  in  a  good  posi- 
tion and  should  by  this  time  have  made 
good,  strong  growth.  Most  varieties 
should  have  a  second  batch'  of  cuttings 
ready  if  properly  taken  care  of.  They 
grow  very  rapidly  as  spring  approaches 
and  from  now  on  will  go  ahead  fast. 

Every  grower  is  interested  in  knowing 
how  to  get  the  best  cuttings.     They  are 


generally  produced  by  potting  the  earli- 
est batch  of  cuttings  in  2-inch  or  2%- 
inch  pots  and  when  well  started  planting 
the  young  stock  out  on  a  good,  light, 
airy  bench.  Set  them  about  four  inches 
each  way  in  four  or  five  inches  of  almost 
any  kind  of  good,  rich  soil. 

If  you  have  bought  cuttings  of  new 
and  expensive  varieties  and  have  them 
in  2-inch  or  2i/4-inch  pots,  when  well 
rooted  around  they  can  be  shifted  into 
4-inch  pots  and  if  desired  can  be  later 
used  to  plant  in  the  bench  for  blooming, 
in  case  you  are  short  of  stock.  But  I 
prefer  2-inch  to  2M!-inch  stock  for  plant- 
ing on  the  benches. 

If  you  have  your  young  plants  in  a 
good  place  on  the  bench  they  should  be 
producing  fine  cuttings  by  this  time.    As 


soon  as  the  cuttings  reach  the  usual 
length,  cut  them  with  a  sharp  knife. 
Trim  up  your  cuttings  by  removing  one 
or  two  of  the  bottom  leaves.  This  de- 
pends much  on  the  variety  or  character 
of  the  cuttings,  as  on  some  it  is  not 
necessary  to  take  off  any  of  the  leaves, 
only  to  tip  them  up  a  bit  so  as  not  to 
use  up  too  much  space  in  the  bench. 

Now  they  are  ready  for  the  sand  and 
ought  to  get  in  at  once.  Never  let  the 
cuttings  lie  around  after  having  been 
taken  from  the  plants.  We  have  known 
growers  who  left  them  for  hours,  but 
they  should  be  out  of  the  sand  only  the 
shortest  possible  time,  as  they  wilt  very 
fast  and  it  is  a  great  drawback  in  root- 
ing.

rose  and  carnation  cuttings  will  answer 
for  the  chrysanthemums  providing  there 
is  no  fungus  in  the  sand.  If  there  was 
fungus,  it  cannot  be  used.  It  must  be 
taken  out  and  replaced  with  fresh,  clean 
sand,  and  this  is  always  safest. 

If  you  have  sufficient  space  in  your 
propagating  bench  do  not  crowd  the  cut- 
tings either  way.  The  cuttings  of  each 
variety  should  be  graded,  keeping  each 
size  by  itself.  Firm  your  sand  well  and 
see  that  your  cuttings  are  well  pressed 
in.  After  this  a  fair  watering  should 
be  given  them  and  on  every  bright  morn- 
ing give  them  a  light  sprinkling  to  keep 
them  fresh  and  cool.  Never  allow  them 
to  weather  down;  safeguard  that  point. 
The  watering,  shading  and  ventilating 
must  be  well  taken  care  of.  Under 
proper  treatment  nearly  all  varieties  will 
root  in  from  twelve  to  twenty  days. 

When  well  rooted  pot  up  in  2-inch  or 
2  ^/^ -inch  pots,  the  latter  size  being  pre- 
ferred for  varieties  of  strong  growth. 
Use  good,  rich  soil. 

If  the  sun  is  out  the  first  day  or  two 
after  potting  them  up,  a  little  shading 
will  be  a  great  advantage  in  carrying 
them  through  without  a  check.

CHRYSANTHEMUM  NOTES -EAST. 

Specimen  Plants. 

The  enormous  specimen  plant  ex- 
hibited at  the  Chicago  show  last  fall, 
probably  the  largest  and  finest  plant 
ever  exhibited,  has  caused  several  grow- 
ers to  write  me  regarding  the  ways  and 
means  necessary  to  produce  such  won- 
derful  results. 

The  very  largest  plants  are  produced 
by  taking  an  old  stock  plant  and,  by  re- 
taining all  the  suckers  that  are  thrown 
up  and  encouraging  the  plant  by  repot- 
ting whenever  necessary,  the  founda- 
tion of  the  plant  is  quickly  assured. 
Some  schedules  call  for  an  inch  of  clear 
stem  between  the  soil  and  the  plant  and 
such  plants,  while  they  may  show  a 
really  higher  degreee  of    cultural    skill, 


do  not  make  such  large  specimens,  for 
the  simple  reason  that  all  the  growth 
must  be  produced  from  one  single  shoot 
or  cutting  which  is  generally  rooted  in 
November  or  December. 

Granted  that  one  has  at  this  time  nice 
young  plants  that  it  is  proposed  to  grow 
into  specimens,  the  chief  object  should 
be  to  induce  them  to  make  all  the 
growth  possible,  by  seeing  that  the 
plants  are  always  liberally  supplied 
with  water,  never  letting  them  become 
pot-bound  for  a  moment,  and  by  pinch- 
ing. This  pinching  is  where  the  art  of 
the  cultivator  comes  in,  as  by  this  means 
he  conforms  the  plant  to  his  model  of 
shape  and  also  produces  the  hundreds  of 
shoots,  each  of  which  eventually  pro- 
duces a  flower.  The  pinching,  or  stop- 
ping, is  carried  on  from  the  time  the 
plant  is  about  five  inches  high.  First, 
the  tip  is  pinched  out.  This  causes  the 
plant  to  produce  three  or  four  shoots, 
and  these  in  turn  are  stopped  after 
they  have  made  two  or  three  joints,  and 
this  process,  with  slight  modifications, 
as  a  plant  may  grow  a  little  more  on 
one  side  than  another,  is  kept  up  till 
the   last  week  in  July. 

I  will  endeavor,  in  the  seasonable 
notes  in  these  columns,  to  follow  the 
specimen  plants  right  through  to  the 
flowering  period,  but  just  at  this  time 
attend  to  the  pinching  and  move  the 
plants  along  from  4-inch  to  6-inch  pots 
as  soon  as  they  are  ready  for  it. 

Soil,  good  soil,  and  properly  prepared 
is  the  chief  essential  for  pot  culture.  I 
do  not  believe  that  the  black  prairie  soil 
of  the  western  plains  will  ever  pro- 
duce such  plants  as  the  fibrous  loam  of 
the  east.  The  black  soil  may  contain 
as  much  plant  food  and  even  more;  it 
certainly  contains  the  humus,  but  its 
mechanical  condition  can  never  be  the 
same  as  the  rotted,  turfy  loam.  There 
does  not  appear  much  difference,  per- 
haps, in  a  bench  where  a  large  mass 
of  soil  is  handled,  but  it  would  appear 
in  pot  culture,  where  plants  may  easily 


become  waterlogged  if  not  carefully 
watered.  The  prairie  loam,  so  far  as  I 
have  seen  it,  is  deficient  in  fiber  and 
would  become  clogged  up  with  heavy 
feeding  much  sooner  than  would  the  sod 
loam.  I  mention  this  because  I  think 
that  a  grower,  who  has  only  the  black 
soil  to  work  with,  is  handicapped  and 
should  use  lots  of  coarse  sand  and  leaf- 
soil  to  make  his  soil  porous  and  open. 
Lots  of  plant  food  is  not  necessary  in 
the  early  life  of  the  plant.  That  can 
easily  be  supplied  later  on  in  liquid 
form.  One  must  have  a  soil  that  will 
stand  feeding  and  watering  without 
getting  sour,  or  success  is  impossible. 

General  Suggestions. 

Cuttings  root  readily  at  this  season  of 
the  year  and,  with  a  rush  of  other  work, 
are  often  left  in  the  sand  longer  than 
they  should  be.  Get  them  out  as  soon 
as  the  roots  are  half  an  inch  long  and 
put  them  into  a  cool  house  after  pot- 
ting up.  An  attenuated,  miserable  lit- 
tle plant,  in  the  early  stages  of  growth, 
does  not  give  one  much  chance  for  later 
success.  Neglect  is  at  the  bottom  of 
most  of  our  failures,  anyway.  Not 
many  florists  bother  with  shelves  in  the 
houses,  but  a  shelf  a  foot  wide  grows 
better  plants  than  can  be  produced 
down  on  a  bench.  The  air  is  all  around 
the  plants  and  they  make  a  much  more 
stocky  growth. 

Get  all  the  early  varieties  into  the 
sand  if  you  have  not  already  done  so. 
They  should  be  planted  in  May  to  give 
you  fine  flowers  early;  also  the  very 
dwarf  kinds,  Beatrice  May,  May  Sed- 
don,  etc.  Perhaps  no  variety  ever  sent 
out  has  given  the  satisfaction  Beatrice 
May  has.  It  appears  to  have  done  fine 
in  every  section  of  the  country  and  the 
demand  for  it  is  enormous,  now  that  it 
is  down  to  a  popular  price.  If  the 
foliage  were  a  little  better  I  should  say 
that  Beatrice  May  is  as  near  perfection 
as  we  can  hope  to  come  in  a  chrysanthe- 
mum. Charles  H.  Totty.

MOSCHOSMA  RIPAEIUM. 

This  plant,  flowered  last  winter  prob- 
ably for  the  first  time  in  America,  is  a 
new  introduction  from  South  Africa  and 
should  be  destined  to  play  an  important 
part  in  midwinter  decorations  in  the 
future.  I  have  been  informed  that  it  was 
a  plant  discovered  by  some  of  the  Brit- 
ish oflScers  serving  under  Lord  Eoberts 
in  the  recent  Boer  wax,  but  this  may  all 
be  a  drummer's  yarn.  In  any  case,  the 
plant  is  a  beautiful  thing  in  flower  and 
I  see  no  reason  why  it  should  not  be 
largely  grown  as  a  Christmas  pot  plant, 
or  for  conservatory  decoration  by  pri- 
vate growers. 

The  growth  of  the  plant  is  on  the  order 
of  the  salvia  family,  free,  kind,  and  not 
affected  by  mildew  or  any  insect  pests 
and,  so  far  as  I  have  seen  it,  I  consider 
it  one  of  the  most  easily  grown  plants  in 
cultivation.  The  plant  illustrated  is  flow- 
ering in  a  9-inch  pot  and  stands  six  feet 
high  and  is  three  feet  across  at  the  base. 

This  plant  was  from  a  cutting  rooted 


solid  mass  of  color.  The  color  of  the 
flower  is  white,  with  a  faint  shade  of 
lavender  imparted  by  the  stamens.  Seen 
at  a  little  distance  the  plant  looks  like 
nothing  so  much  as  a  gigantic  spiraea. 
The  flowers  have  a  slightly  pungent  but 
not  unpleasant  odor. 

Grown  in  a  cool  house  with  a  night 
temperature  of  50  degrees  and  ample  air 
days  (a  carnation  house,  as  a  matter  of 
fact),  the  plants  were  in  full  flower  by 
the  middle  of  December  and  kept  in  fine 
condition  till  the  middle  of  January, 
after  which  time  the  flowers  began  to 
drop  off.  If  forced  to  any  extent  the 
flowers  might  possibly  drop  sooner,  which 
would  militate  against  it  as  a  Christmas 
pot  plant;  but  properly  handled  and 
grown  in  a  normal  temperature,  it  will 
make  a  far  better  keeping  plant,  at 
least,  than  the  Lorraine  begonia.  If  it 
were  only  pink  or  red  it  would  soon 
sweep  the  decks  as  a  Christmas  plant,  in 
my  opinion.  But  we  do  not  wish  to  be 
always  measuring  flowers  by  the  yard- 
stick of  the  mighty  dollar  and,    as    a 


Moschosma  Riparium. 


in  April  and  was  one  of  a  dozen  raised 
with  no  particular  care  or  culture  be- 
yond such  as  was  given  to  a  batch  of 
chrysanthemums  in  pots,  growing  along- 
side of  it.  Later  stock,  rooted  even  up 
to  August,  flowered  with  equal  freedom 
in  3 -inch  to  4-inch  pots. 

The  flowers  individually  ai-e  tiny,  but 
they  are  produced  in  such  extraordinary 
profusion    that   the   plant    looks   like     a 


beautiful  picture,  I  do  not  think  I  ever 
saw  anything  that  pleased  me  more  than 
this  batch  of  moschosma  when  in  full 
flower. 

There  are  hundreds  of  small  conserva- 
tories where  flowers  in  midwinter  are 
highly  prized  that  would  be  greatly 
beautified  by  the  addition  of  one  or  two 
plants  of  this  easily  grown  subject.  This 
yfear  I  propose  to  plant  a  quantity  out 


in  the  garden  and  lift  them  early  in 
September,  as  I  would  chrysanthemums, 
and  I  have  no  doubt  they  will  grow  away 
with  hardly  a  check,  for  the  plant  makes 
a  mass  of  fibrous  roots,  ajid  should  lift 
easily. 

In  conclusion,  I  would  say  that  there 
are  few  plants  that  will  make  the  show- 
ing with  a  minimum  of  care  that  the 
moschosma  will,  and  I  see  no  reason  why 
it  should  not  give  satisfaction  and  pleas- 
ure to  a  large  majority  of  flower  and 
plant  lovers.  Charles  H.  Totty. 

GETTING  TOGETHER  HELPS. 


Conference  of  Shippers  and  Guriers. 

The  program  committee  of  the  Flo- 
rists' Club  of  Springfield,  0.,  arranged 
for  a  somewhat  novel,  interesting  and 
practical  conference  at  the  Maxch  meet- 
ing. 

The  city  is  particularly  fortunate  in 
that  it  enjoys  the  advantages  and  keen 
competition  of  five  leading  express  com- 
panies, which  maintain  oflSces  here,  each 
one  of  which  is  alert  for  business,  and 
the  agents  and  employees  are  uniformly 
accommodating  and  courteous,  always 
on  the  lookout  for  as  large  a  share  of 
plant  shipments  as  possible,  the  plant 
trade  standing  first  in  importance  vnth 
them  in  volume  of  business. 

The  companies  were  severally  repre- 
sented by  their  local  agents  as  follows: 
H.  E.  McOwen,  Adams;  Walter  Warner, 
American;  E.  C.  Edmondson,  Pacific; 
M.  E.  Tyler,  United  States;  L.  H. 
Whitehead,  Wells  Targo.  Mr.  White- 
head, a  veteran  in  the  service  to  the  ex- 
tent of  filling  the  d^cription  implied  by 
his  name,  but  just  as  active  as  any  of 
the  younger  agents,  might  be  termed  the 
dean  of  the  group,  and  was  delegated  to 
act  as  spokesman  and  quite  capably  per- 
formed this  duty. 

A  careful  explanation  was  made  as  to 
the  application  to  plant  shipments  of 
special  discounts  under  "General  Spe- 
cial" and  "Scale  N"  of  the  express 
tariffs,  varying  from  twenty  to  thirty 
per  cent  off  regular  merchandise  rates. 
Under  the  provisions  of  the  interstate 
commerce  law,  the  shipper  is  held 
equally  responsible  with  the  carrier  as  to 
correctness  of  weights,  it  being  a  mis- 
demeanor to  report  a  shipment  at  any- 
thing less  than  actual  correct  weight. 

A  pasted  label  for  baskets  and  paste- 
board boxes  was  recommended,  rather 
than  a  tag  attached  by  means  of  a 
string,  which  frequently  gets  torn  off. 
For  wooden  boxes  a  tag  or  card  tacked 
on  the  end  and  marked  in  full  with 
waterproof  crayon  on  the  top  is  consid- 
ered the  surest  method. 

A  slip  inside  each  package  showing 
address  of  consignee  is  held  to  be  a 
splendid  safeguard  in  case  of  the  entire 
loss  or  obliteration  of  all  outside  marks 
through  accident,  exposure,  wreck  or  fire, 
as  this  inside  mark  may  frequently  be 
the  means  of  enabling  the  carrier  to 
make  delivery  to  proper  consignee, 
whereas  the  time  otherwise  necessary  for 
tracing  back  to  shipping  point,  even 
though  this  might  be  possible  from  any 
information  at  hand,  would  frequently 
be  suflBcient  to  allow  the  stock  to  perish. 

The  retail  catalogue  florists  present 
were  inclined  to  think  that  the  special 
discounts  should  apply  to  baskets  as 
well  as  boxes,  but  the  agents  explained 
that  the  liability  to  damage  in  handling 
is  much  greater  when  packed  in  baskets 
than  in  boxes. 

The     question  ^of     overcharges     was

The  Weekly  Rorists'  Review. 


1349 


A  Church  Decoration  at  Easter^  the  Work  of  the  Wittbold  G).,  Chicago. 


quite  freely  discussed,  this  evil  occur- 
ring chiefly  with  agents  at  country  sta- 
tions who  seldom  receive  plant  ship- 
ments and  either  do  not  know  or  care 
about  the  special  discounts,  or  are  paid 
on  a  commission  basis  and  naturally  are 
interested  in  collecting  as  full  an 
amount  of  charges  as  possible.  The 
shippers  are  desirous  of  having  some 
plan  adopted  whereby  each  shipment 
may  carry  marks  showing  weight  and 
correct  amount  of  charges  to  be  paid  by 
consignee  on  arrival  at  destination,  and 
to  this  end  a  committee  consisting  of 
Eoy  McGregor,  of  The  McGregor  Bros. 
Co.,  and  Leman  Bradford,  of  The 
Springfield  Floral  Co.,  was  appointed 
to  confer  with  the  express  agents  and 
endeavor  to  formulate  a  plan  for  the 
use  of  the  members  of  the  club.  While 
some  of  the  shippers  are  accustomed  to 
notify  each  and  every  customer  by 
means  of  a  postal-card  of  having  made 
a  shipment  and  stating  the  amount  of 
charges  to  be  paid,  others  thought  this 
an  unnecessary  waste  of  labor  and  post- 
age and  that  the  express  companies 
should  devise  such  safeguards  against 
overcharges  as  to  render  such  a  notice 
unnecessary.  The  agents  present  ex- 
pressed a  willingness  to  take  up  the 
matter  with  their  respective  companies, 
only  one  of  the  oflBces  having  authority 
in  the  matter  at  the  present  time.  It 
was  stated,  however,  that  the  extra  work 
involved  would  probably  necessitate  the 
employment  of  an  extra  man.  in  each 
oflSce  in  order  to  properly  mark  each 
shipment,  the  calling  and  billing  now 
being  done  in  a  very  rapid  manner  dur- 
ing the  busy  portion  of  each  day. 

As  a  return  favor,  the  agents  in- 
quired as  to  the  possibility  of  the  ex- 
press companies  carrying  a  considerably 
larger  portion  of  the  10-cent,  15-cent 
and  25-cent  packages  which  are  being 
sent  quite  generally  by  mail,  the  argu- 
ment being  advanced  that  they  give  a 


receipt  for  each  shipment,  which  Uncle 
Sam  does  not  do,  and  carry  it  just  as 
quickly  and  more  safely  for  2  cents 
less  on  the  average  shipment  under  four 
pounds  weight.  The  larger  shippers 
practically  stated  that  the  express  com- 
panies were  welcome  to  help  themselves 
to  whatever  they  might  find  in  their 
mailing  rooms  which  could  be  carried  to 
advantage. 

A  vote  of  thanks  was  tendered  to  the 
agents  for  their  presence  and  free  dis- 
cussion of  the  various  subjects  touched 
upon,  and  the  joint  conference  was  con- 
ceded to  have  been  decidedly  beneficial 
to  all  concerned.  Ge  Dale. 


CHURCH  DECORATIONS. 

The  accompanying  illustration  shows 
a  typical  Easter  church  decoration  of 
the  better  class,  such  a  decoration  as 
many  florists  are  called  upon  to  put  up 
in  more  or  less  elaborate  form  every 
year  in  one  or  more  houses  of  worship 
for  the  Sabbath  morning  when  all  nature 
dons  its  spring  attire.  The  illustration 
is  prepareu  from  a  photograph  made  by 
the  George  "Wittbold  Co.  Easter  morn- 
ing, 1906,  and  now  used  as  a  means  of 
securing  orders  for  similar  worK  for  the 
approaching  Easter.  It  gives  not  only 
an  idea  of  how  they  treated  the  audito- 
rium,which  is  such  a  one  as  is  not  easily 
decorateu,  but  it  suggests  the  thought 
that  any  florist  who  has  facilities  to 
spare  for  outside  work  at  Easter  can 
easily  get  this  kind  of  orders  by  suggest- 
ing the  subject  in  good  season  to  the 
church  people  of  his  neighborhood.  It 
also  brings  to  mind  the  remark  of  a  cer- 
tain wholesaler  who  was  arguing  that  the 
price  of  lilies  should  not  be  greatly  ad- 
vanced this  year  simply  because  Easter 
is  early  and  some  growers  will  not  have 
their  stock  ready.  Said  he:  "The  bulk 
of  the  lilies  are  used  for  church  deco- 
rations, and  church  people  are  not  those 


with  the  most  money,  or  the  freest  spend- 
ers. Put  your  prices  too  high  and  you 
shut  off  the  buying  and  use  of  lilies. ' ' 
The  usual  retail  price  of  lilies,  25  cents 
per  bud,  is  about  all  that  can  oe  expected 
if  any  quantity  are  to  be  sold,  and  in 
large  decorations  it  is  often  necessary  to 
shaue  this  considerably.  But  the  deco- 
rator should  always  make  a  profit  on  the 
stock  he  uses,  on  his  time  and  facilities 
and  nave  something  left  to  compensate 
him  for  his  special  abilities  in  the  line 
of  artistic  work. 


GROFFS  HYBRID  GLADIOLI. 

In  Mr.  Childs'  comment  on  my  re- 
marks before  the  American  Breeders' 
Association  he  goes  on  to  say  that  if 
perchance  one  should  happen  to  find  a 
good  color  among  my  hybrids,  the  same 
color  could  be  found  among  Lemoine's 
hybrids.  I  passed  this  over  in  my  re- 
ply, but  who  ever  heard  that  any 
originator  had  a  monopoly  of  color 
when  all  have  access  to  the  original 
species,  the  source  of  all  existing  colors 
and  combinations  of  color? 

Mr.  Childs  seems  to  have  forgotten 
that  my  early  hybrids  were  awarded  the 
prize  at  New  York  in  1900  by  the  So- 
ciety of  American  Florists  over  his  com- 
bined sections  of  Lemoine,  Childsi  and 
Gandavensis.  Surely  such  a  competent 
jury  found  some  other  quality  than 
color  against  the  exhibit  of  the  world's 
largest  grower,  at  home. 

In  1901  the  Pan-American  exposi- 
tion gave  my  hybrids  a  gold  medal  over 
competition  well  known  to  Mr.  Childs. 
Their  judges,  too,  chanced  to  discover 
the  good  colors — and  something  else. 

M.  PhiUppe  de  Vilmorin,  of  Vilmorin, 
Audrieux  &  Co.,  Paris,  France,  one  of 
the  best  informed  men  in  the  world, 
whose  firm  is  an  extensive  handler  of 
Lemoine  and  other  high-class  French 
hybrids,  came  repeatedly  to  the  exhibits

of  my  hybrids  at  the  Pan-American 
exposition  and  St.  Louis  world's  fair. 
I  also  met  him  by  invitation  at  the 
French  pavilion  at  the  latter  exposi- 
tion. He  there  repeated  his  remarks  on 
my  purpureo-auratus  hybrids,  better 
known  as  the  Lemoine  section,  and  said: 
"Mr.  Groff,  I  am  specially  interested 
in  your  improvement  on  the  Lemoine 
type,  the  great  number  of  new  varieties, 
the  high  quality  and  beauty  of  the 
colors,  but  above  all  the  strong  spikes 
of  handsome,  wide-open  flowers  as  com- 
pared with  the  usual  cowled  types  of 
that  section."  II.  H.  Gbopf. 


SWEET  PEAS. 


It  is  important  for  the  successful  cul- 
tivation of  sweet  peas  that  the  seed  be 
sown  as  early  as  possible.  As  it  is  well 
known  that  sweet  peas  are  fond  of  good 
food  and  drink,  the  best  time  to  lay  in 
a  stock  of  both  for  them  is  before  the 
seed  is  put  in  the  ground.  And  the  way 
of  doing  that  in  the  most  satisfactory 
manner  I  have  found  to  be  to  dig  a 
trench,  at  least  eighteen  inches  in  depth, 
filling  it  in  afterward  with  well-rotted 
manure  and  soil  in  equal  parts,  with  the 
addition  of  a  sprinkling  of  bone  meal,  to 


within  about  four  inches  of  the  grade, 
whereon  I  sow  the  seed. 

Treated  in  that  manner  and  cared  for 
throughout  a  prolonged  season  of  flower- 
ing, I  sold  $150  worth  of  flowers  from 
four  rows,  each  twenty-five  feet  long, 
selling  the  flowers  at  40  cents  per  hun- 
dred. 

When  the  peas  are  well  up  above  the 
ground,  a  little  soil  may  be  drawn  up 
to  them  and  the  process  repeated  at  in- 
tervals as  growth  proceeds.  The  sup- 
porting brush  should  be  put  down  be- 
fore the  plants  show  signs  of  falling 
over;  in  fact,  the  sooner  after  they  are 
up  they  are  brushed  the  better. 

The  rows  of  sweet  peas  should  be  at 
least  four  feet  apart,  and  six  inches 
more  will  do  no  harm.  Keep  the  soil, 
between  the  rows  and  right  up  to  the 
plants,  well  worked  continually  and 
never  allow  weeds  to  get  a  hold,  chick- 
weed  in  particular,  because  once  it  gets 
a  hold  it  is  hard  to  make  it  let  go.  If 
the  season  is  very  dry  it  will  pay  to 
apply  good  drenchings  of  water  to  the 
soil  and  this  is  doubly  beneficial  if  some 
fertilizer  is  previously  applied  to  be 
washed  in  by  the  water. 

Keep  cutting  all  the  flowers  as  they 
appear  and  expand.  E.  E. 


CARNATION  NOTES— VEST. 


Storing;  Easter  Stock. 

It  ought  not  to  be  necessary  to  say  a 
word  about  pickling  stock,  but  every 
year  we  hear  of  a  few  who  have  made 
the  mistake.  To  the  credit  of  the  craft 
it  can  be  said,  however,  that  as  a  rule 
it  is  done  by  inexperienced  growers  who 
simply  were  unable  to  judge  reasonably 
how  long  a  cut  bloom  can  be  kept  in  a 
salable  condition  and  how  much  handling 
a  bloom  will  stand  after  being  kept  a 
certain  length  of  time.  To  those  I  want 
to  say  a  word  about  how  to  handle  the 
cut  in  order  to  keep  as  many  blooms  as 
possible  in  first-class  condition. 

To  begin  with,  I  will  say  that  there 
is  a  great  deal  of  difference  in  varieties 
and  you  can  keep  some  of  them  several 
days  longer  than  others  and  keep  them 
better.  For  instance.  Enchantress  can 
not  be  kept  nearly  as  long  as  Lawson 
and  when  it  is  fully  developed  and  water- 
soaked  it  will  not  stand  much  handling 
without  bruising  around  the  edges  and 
becoming  unsalable.  You  need  a  place 
which  will  run  about  48  degrees  in  which 
to  keep  the  blooms.  In  this  temperature 
development  will  go  on  slowly  and  the 
blooms  will  be  better  than  if  kept  too 
cool.  It  should  be  about  half  dark  and 
well  ventilated,  though  not  draughty. 

A  vrcek  before  Easter  cut  every  bloom 
that  is  open,  whether  you  need  it  or  not, 
so  that  you  will  not  be  tempted  to  put 
away  a  lot  of  blooms  that  will  be  sure 
to  be  overdone  long  before  you  want  to 
use  them.  Then  cut  everything  that  is 
far  enough  along  to  develop  in  water. 
Varieties  differ  some  in  that  respect,  too. 
Grade  them  into  bunches  so  '  that  the 
blooms  in  each  bunch  will  be  just  about 


alike  in  regard  to  development.  Tie  in 
bunches  of  twenty-five  and  put  the  same 
number  of  bunches  in  each  vase.  This 
will  save  much  handling  later  on,  and 
the  less  they  are  handled  the  better  for 
them.  Put  a  tag  on  each  vase  with  the 
date  of  cutting  and  when  you  need 
blooms  during  the  middle  of  the  week 
you  will  have  no  trouble  in  finding  the 
oldest  ones.  Gather  the  blooms  every 
day,  so  that  all  will  be  in  nearly  the 
same  state  of  development,  and  none 
will  be  too  far  developed  to  keep  well. 
Cut  the  stems  every  second  day  and 
don't  crowd  too  many  in  a  vase. 

Most  varieties  we  grow  these  days 
have  strong  enough  stems  to  hold  them 
upright  for  some  time,  but  those  that 
are  inclined  to   be   a  trifle  weak  at  the 


time  of  cutting  will  not  hold  the  blooms 
up  when  fully  developed  and  must  be 
supported.  To  shove  them  down  into 
deep  vases  will  crowd  the  blooms  too 
much,  so  we  have  invented  a  wire  con- 
trivance which  has  served  us  well.  Make 
a  wire  ring  that  will  fit  into  the  inside 
of  your  vase;  then  make  another  ring 
about  eighteen  inches  across.  Eun  three 
wires  about  eighteen  inches  long  from 
the  one  to  the  other.  Set  this  support 
into  the  vase  and  the  blooms  inside  of  it. 
You  can  make  the  upper  ring  larger  or 
smaller  to  suit  your  case  and  the  up- 
right wires  the  same,  but  we  find  that  a 
ring  the  size  mentioned  will  encompass 
about  150  blooms  without  crowding 
them.  Your  vase  can  be  quite  shallow  if 
you  use  heavy  wire  and,  in  fact,  we 
prefer  to  use  vases  or  buckets  which  are 
not  over  twelve  inches  deep,  as  it  allows 
the  air  to  pass  between  the  stems  and 
among  the  blooms. 

Look  the  blooms  over  carefully  every 
time  you  cut  the  stems,  and  if  you  have 
any  doubt  about  any  of  them  keeping 
in  first-class  condition,  get  them  out  and 
sold  while  they  are  yet  in  good  shape. 
In  tying  the  bunches,  wrap  the  string 
around  the  bottom  five  or  six  times  to 
hold  the  bunch;  then  tie  a  string  loosely 
around  the  bunch  just  below  the  blooms, 
to  prevent  the  blooms  of  one  bunch  get- 
ting mixed  with  those^jof  other  bunches. 
This  vpill  save  many  broken  stems  when 
taking  them  out  of  the  vases  to  pack  up.

A  MILLION  CUTTINGS. 

The  illustration  on  page  1351  will 
perhaps  give  some  idea  of  the  immense 
proportions  to  which  Jhe  rooted  cutting 
business  has  attained  with  western 
growers.  The  photograph  was  made  at 
the  establishment  of  the  Chicago  Carna- 
tion Co.,  at  Joliet,  111.,  and  shows  the 
propagating  house  30x150  feet  filled 
with  its  third  batch  of  cuttings.  There 
are  300,000  cuttings  in  the  sand  and  it 
is  the  third  time  this  season  the  house 
has  been  full  of  stock.  A.  T.  Pyfer, 
manager  of  the  establishment,  states  that 
they  have  in  all  propagated  over  a  mil- 
lion cuttings  this  season. 

Most  of  the  cuttings  in  the  house  at 
present  are  Aristocrat  and  White  Per- 
fection, the  latter  variety  being  in  their 
estimation  only  second  to  their  season's 
novelty.  They  say  Aristocrat  has  been 
a  wonderful  producer  with  them  all  sea- 
son, that  the  crop  ias  been  remarkably

Rambler  Roses. 

If  you  make  a  ])oint  of  growing 
rambler  roses  it  is  time  to  think  about 
securing  and  potting  up  stock  for  use 
another  season.  A  good  many  growers 
pot  up  field-grown  ])hints  in  tiie  fall 
and  force  them,  often  with  disappoint- 
ing results.  We  see  far  too  many  of 
them  in  the  markets  with  puny  heads 
of  flowers  and  sickly  looking  foliage. 
This  is  not  to  lie  wondered  at.  If  you 
want  first-class  ramblers  to  force  they 
must  have  the  pots  well  fille<l  with 
roots.  Then  they  will  bn>ak  strong  an<l 
with  judicious  feeding  and  attention  to 
other  details,  will  give  you  trusses  of 
bloom  of   which   you   will    be   proud. 

Now  is  a  good  tinu'  to  secure  and 
l)ot  up  a  batch  of  any  of  the  randders 
needed  for  another  season.  Pot  them 
firmly  in  good  com])ost  and  stand 
around  in  any  out  of  the  way  ])lace 
until  your  Easter  rush  is  over;  then 
cut  them  down  to  within  six  inches  of 
the  j)ots  and  give  them  a  light  position 
on  the  bench  of  a  house  such  as  you 
would  grow  bedding  stock  in.  Tln\v  will 


soon  break  away.  Allow  not  over  four 
or  five  of  the  strongest  shoots  to  grow. 
Tie  them  up  to  stakes  securely,  (irow 
indoors  until  the  end  of  .luue;  then 
])lunge  outdoors  in  straight  rows,  string 
one  or  two  galvanized  wires  along  the 
rows  and  tie  them  to  these.  Kee]t

wards fall  to  ripen  the  w^iod  and  yon 
will    have   canes   good   to   look   at. 

While  (  rimson  Rambler  is  a  great 
sidler,  it  is  very  common  and  in  some 
markets  the  pink  sorts,  like  Lady  (Jay, 
Dorothy  Perkins  and  h'arquhar.  are  in 
eager  demand.  These  make  much 
longer  shoots  than  the  crimson  varie- 
ties and,  having  Wichuraiana  blood  in 
them,  are  more  prone  to  lie  prostrate, 
so  will  need  rather  more  tying  u[i. 

Bedding  Geraniums. 

While  the  rush  of  Easter  prepara- 
tions is  on,  do  not  on  any  account 
neglect  the  geraniums.  If  they  are 
allowed  to  mat  the  small  pots  with 
roots  they  will  become  stunted.  Try 
and  find  time  to  shift  them  into  4-iuch 


]>ots,  using  good  loam  with  a  little  bone 
meal.  Do  not  mix  a  lot  of  manure  in 
tlie  soil;  it  will  produce  .  rank,  leafy 
growth  at  the  expense  of  flowers. 
Plants  carrying  a  good  truss  of  l)loom 
sell  l)etter  than  larger  and  nu)re  lux- 
uriant plants  devoid  of  flowers.  Give 
the  ])lants  what  room  you  can  and  just 
;is  soon  as  Easter  flowering  stock  is  out 
of  the  way  give  them  an  ad<litional 
spreading  out. 

Acacia  Armata. 

Acacia  armata  usually  sells  wtdl  at 
Easter.  Like  the  rest  of  the  family,  it 
resents  forcing  into  bloom  and  must 
bo  brought  on  slowly.  Potter  not  to 
have  them  too  fully  open,  for  when 
the  little  roun<l  flowers  are  open  a  few 
days  they  turn  brown  and  a  very  few' 
of  these  disfigure  a  plant.  To  attempt 
to  ])ick  them  ott'  will  be  found  a  nerve- 
racking  occupation  at  this  increasingly 
strenuous  season.  They  want  an  abun- 
dance of  wat(>r,  a  light,  cool,  airy  house 
and  if  nicely  opened  they  will  carry 
w(dl  in  a  ])it  just  clear  of  freezing, 
where  the  atmosphere  is  dry. 

Propagation  of  Bedding  Plants. 

The  ))ropagating  liench  should  b»^ 
kejit  well  filled  with  alternantheras, 
colons,  ageratums,  heliotropes  and  other 
bedding  ]dants.  They  root  quickly  now 
and  they  should  be  jiotted  ofl'  befori- 
they  become  hard  and  spindling.  To 
eas(^  the  ovei'crowding  now  so  general 
in  our  houses  we  rely  on  hotbeds  for 
raising  many  of  these  ])lants.  A  foot 
of  warm  horse  manure  which  has  been 
mixed  with  leaves  will  give  a  steady 
heat  for  some  weeks,  j>roviding  it  has 
been  moist  and  well  trampled  ui)on. 
The  use  of  frames  from  now  on  will 
nuiterially  rcdieve  the  crowding  in  the 
houses.  Jf  you  raise  cucumber,  tomato, 
<'gg   })lant    or   any    other   vegetables    to

sell,  the  hotbed  will  be  found  far  su- 
perior to   the   greenhouse. 

Shadioe. 

The  sun  is  becoming  increasingly 
powerful  and  many  plants  will  demand 
shade,  if  you  have  not  already  given 
it  to  them.  It  is  unwise  to  put  on  a 
heavy  coat  of  shade  yet.  We  may  have 
a  long  spell  of  dark  weather  in  the 
next  two  months,  although  clear  skies 
ought  to  be  our  lot  after  what  we  ex- 
perienced in  December  and  January. 
Palms  and  ferns  should  have  shade 
without  delay,  if  not  already  given.  A 
thin  coating  of  kerosene  and  white 
lead  can  be  laid  on  with  a  brush,  or 
sprayed  on  with  a  force  pump.  In  the 
latter  case  be  sure  to  close  the  ven- 
tilators  before   applying   it. 

Easter  flowering  stock,  of  course, 
should  be  in  a  cool,  shaded  and  airy 
house  when  sufficiently  advanced.  Cin- 
erarias, gloxinias,  begonias  and  cycla- 
mens, all  need  shade.  To  keep  the 
dark  blue  color  in  your  late  frame  vio- 
lets some  shade  should  also  be  applied. 
It  is  also  necessary  whei*e  quantities 
of  young  seedlings  are  being  raised.  A 
thin  coat  only,  however,  should  be  given 
just  now. 

Seed  Sowing. 

Successional  sowings  of  asters,  ten 
weeks'  stocks  and  Phlox  Drummondi 
can  be  made.  The  following  can  also 
be  sown:  Zinnias,  Cobsea  scandens 
(place  the  seed  on  edge),  nasturtiums 
for  boxes  and  vases,  balsams,  Gypsophila 
paniculata,  Pyrethrum  Golden  Feather, 
marigolds,  maurandia,  annual  coreopsis, 
salpiglossis,  musa,  Lavatera  arborea 
variegata  and  impatiens.  Many  small 
seedlings  will  be  making  rapid  growth 
now  and  time  should  be  found  to  prick 
them  off  in  flats  before  they  crowd  and 
spoil  one  another. 

Easter  Preparations. 

The  busiest  time  of  the  year  is  ap- 
proaching for  both  growers  and  re- 
tailers. See  to  it  that  you  have  such 
additional  help  hired  as  may  be  needed. 
These  novices  will  be  unable  to  wrap 
up  plants  and  do  similar  work  as  your 


Stake  the  lilies  if  they  need  it.  Don't 
forget  to  give  all  a  liberal  supply  of 
water  some  time  before  they  are  sent 
to  the  store,  or  to  your  retail  customers. 

It  is  difficult  to  prognosticate  weather 
conditions.  Possibly  we  may  have  cold, 
frosty  winds,  in  which  case  a  good  deal 
of  wrapping  will  be  necessary.  This 
means  considerable  additional  labor  and 
cost,  but  must  be  done  if  you  want 
plants  to  reach  your  customers  un- 
harmed. 

Tlie  decoration  of  many  plants  is 
heavily  overdone.  Well-grown  and 
flowered  plants  are  little  improved  by 
a  lot  of  trimming,  but  often  a  rather 
poorly  formed  plant  can  be  materially 
improved  by  a  little  judicious  "fixing 
up."  Be  sure  not  to  use  loud  deco- 
rative trimmings,  or  any  which  do  not 
harmonize  with  the  plants  you  wish  to 
sell. 

Do  tiot  tell  your  customers  you  will 
deliver  the  plants  and  flowers  they  buy 
"right  away  quick"  when  you  have 
no  idea  of  doing  so.  Plan,  however, 
to  send  as  near  the  time  you  promise 
.  them  as  possible.  Punctuality  in  this 
respect  may  mean  many  dollars  in  your 
pockets  another  season.  A  satisfied 
customer  is  the  best  advertisement  you 
can  have. 

Dahlias. 

While  there  still  is  ample  time  to 
start  your  dahlias  and  have  them  bloom 
well,  if  you  desire  to  work  up  a  stock 
of  any  special  varieties  they  should  be 
started  right  after  Easter.  Cuttings 
taken  off  when  a  few  inches  long  will 
root  freely  in  sand  and  make  even  bet- 
ter flowering  plants  than  the  big  roots 
themselves.  Late  planted  stock  will 
give  fully  as  fine  blooms  as  the  early 
batches.  Keep  them  trained  to  a  sin- 
gle stem  after  planting  outdoors,  or 
pinch  the  plants  back  as  far  as  the 
first  leaves.  It  will  then  throw  up  sev- 
eral shoots,  will  have  a  neat  branching 
habit  and  need  no  staking. 


SEEN  AT  CLIFTONDALE. 

One    of    the    finest    floricultural    dis- 
plays in  America  at  present  is  undoubt- 


House  30x360  of  Sweet  Peas  at  Wm,  Sim's,  Cliftondalet  Mass. 


regular  employees  do,  but  there  will  be 
plenty  for  them  to  do.  Be  sure  that 
all  pots  are  scrupulously  clean.  Pick  off 
any  bad  foliage  and  do  not  allow  a 
single   bad   bloom    to    disfigure    plants. 


edly  William  Sim's  houses  of  sweet 
peas  at  Cliftondale,  Mass.  The  prin- 
cipal one  is  30x360  and  contains  five 
rows,  the  varieties  grown  being  Christ- 
mas   and    Mont    Blanc.      Violets    were 


grown  between  the  peas  until  quite  re- 
cently. It  is  a  truly  magnificent  sight 
to  walk  between  these  long  avenues  of 
sweet  peas  smothered  with  bloom, 
stems  running  up  to  two  feet  in  length. 
From  7,000  to  10,000  sprays  have  been 
picked  daily  for  some  time,  but  Mr. 
Sim  expects  to  have  60,000  from  this 
house  alone  for  the  Easter  trade.  An- 
other house  of  similar  length  but  some- 
what narrower  contains  other  varieties 
in  almost  every  imaginable  shade  of 
color.  Many  are  A.  C.  Zvolanek's  va- 
rieties; others  are  Mr.  Sim's  own  selec- 
tions. Beautiful  lavender,  soft  pink 
and  other  colors  many  of  these  are,  but 
their  sale  is  somewhat  limited,  as  the 
retail  florists  seem  afraid  to  handle 
more  than  one  or  two  shades.  They 
get  into  a  rut  and  imagine  that  their 
customers  don't  want  novelties, "whereas 
these  are  just  what  critical  customers 
most  desire. 

Single  violets  are  a  great  specialty 
here,  the  whole  establishment  being 
planted  with  them  and  followed  by 
sweet  peas  and  tomatoes,  the  sweet 
peas  themselves  being  followed  by  cu- 
cumbers. We  were  particularly  inter- 
ested in  the  new  single  violet,  Boston, 
which  occupies  half  a  house  30x360. 
The  leaves  are  heavy.  The  flower 
stalks  are  dotted  with  hairs.  The  flow- 
ers are  of  excellent  form,  immense  in 
size,  carried  on  stiff  stems  and  a  little 
paler  than  Princess  of  Wales.  A  bunch 
of  fifty  flowers  more  than  equals  one 
of  seventy-five  Princess  of  Wales.  The 
habit  is  quite  distinct  from  Princess. 
The  plant  is  vigorous  and  a  persistent 
bloomer.  At  the  time  of  our  visit  it 
was  smothered  with  magnificent  flow- 
ers. It  will  be  largely  grown  another 
season  and  introduced,  we  believe,  in 
1908. 

The  largest  house  containing  Princess 
of  Wales  is  of  the  ridge  and  furrow 
type,  63x200.  As  many  as  117,000  flow- 
ers were  picked  from  this  on  March  13 
last  year  and  it  is  fully  as  good  this 
season.  The  Easter  pick  of  single  vio- 
lets is  expected  to  be  200,000.  A  num- 
ber of  frames  are  planted  for  a  late 
crop.  These  were  still  covered  with 
meadow  hay,  snow  and  ice. 

Some  30,000  tomatoes  were  in  3-inch 
and  4-inch  pots  to  follow  the  violets. 
Comet  is  the  only  variety  grown.  A 
batch  of  2,200  plants  of  an  improved 
selection  was  noted.  In  addition  20,- 
000  are  grown  outdoors,  all  again  being 
Comet.  These  were  just  pricked  off  in 
flats  and  being  strong  plants  when  set 
out  yield  an  early  and  profitable  crop. 
As  usual,  everything  at  Cliftondale  was 
in  apple-pie  order  and  it  is  worthy  of 
a  long  journey  to  see  how  well  every- 
thing is  done.  W.  N.  C.

Exhibition  Notes. 

The  exhibition  hall,  located,  as  it 
was,  several  feet  below  the  street,  made 
an  admirable  temperature  for  the  flow- 
ers, the  weather  being  murky  and  warm. 
The  spacious  floor  was  well  filled  with 
the  most  magnificent  cut  blooms  and 
plants  ever  seen  in  Washington,  but 
there  was  room  for  more.  The  entries 
of  roses  and  of  carnations  for  the  local 
club's  prizes  were  especially  fine.  P.  H. 
Kramer,  of  Washington,  was  probably 
the  most  successful  exhibitor,  receiving 
about  thirty  first  and  second  awards  on 
his   entries. 

Among  the  most  attractive  displays 
were  twenty-five  plants  of  rambler  roses,

Hole,  Mass.,  and  an  exhibit  of  hydran- 
geas made  by  J.  W.  Dudley  &  Son,  of 
Parkersburg,  W.  Va. 

Edward  S.  Schmid  exhibited  vases, 
gold  fish  and  aquatic  plants. 

Among  the  cut  flowers  was  a  vase  of 
fifty  Richmond  for  which  W.  H.  Elliott, 
Brighton,  Mass.,  received  a  special  prize. 
They  were  the  admiration  of  all. 

H.  Weber  &  Sons  Co.  showed  a  fine 
lot  of  the  newer  carnations.  One,  a 
rose-pink  Enchantress,  was  of  special 
merit. 

F.  R.  Pierson  Co.,  of  Tarrytown,  N. 
Y.,  exhibited  Winsor,  White  Enchantress 
and  other  novelties. 

Gude  Bros.  Co.,  of  Washington,  had 
a  corner  devoted  to  an  old  Dutch  wind- 
mill, the  fans  of  which  rotated  and 
were  filled  with  various  colors  of  electric 
lights. 

F.  H.  Kramer  made  a  fine  display  of 
his  new  Queen  Beatrice  rose. 

A  beautiful  mantle  decoration  by  Z. 
D.  Blackistone,  of  Washington,  was 
awarded  a  first  prize. 

There  were  two  fine  exhibits  of  ferns 
and  fancy  caladiums  by  the  Agricul- 
tural Department. 

F.  Lautenschlager,  representing  Kroe- 
schell  Bros.  Co.,  Chicago,  was  on  hand 
with  a  model  boiler. 

Final  Awards. 

Late  staging  made  it  impossible  to 
conclude  the  judging  until  Thursday, 
the  day  after  last  week's  Review^  was 
printed  with  the  awards  of  Wednesday. 
The  following  were  announced  on 
Thursday : 

Fifty  Killarney,  Robert  Simpson,  first, 
the  Dingee  &  Conard  special  premium. 

American  seedling  rose,  E.  (i.  Hill 
Co.,  first,  the  H.  O.  May  silver  cup. 

Specimen  climbing  rose  in  tub,  M.  H. 
Walsh,  both  first  and  second. 

Six  plants  in  pots,  M.  H.  Walsh,  first. 

C.  S.  Briggs,  four  firsts,  amateur 
classes. 


Hybrid  Wichuraiana,  M.  H.  Walsh, 
first,  the  Pierson  silver  cup. 

The  Banquet 

The  Washington  Florists'  Club  enter- 
tained at  a  banquet  at  the  Arlington 
hotel  Thursday  evening,  March  21.  The 
service  was  late,  for  the  guests  did  not 
.reach  the  hotel  until  8:30,  because  of 
the  interest  taken  in  the  discussions  at 
the  closing  session  of  the  Rose  Society. 
Peter  Bisset,  president  of  the  local  club, 
occupied  the  chair,  while  Toastmaster 
Joseph  Freeman  introduced  the  speak- 
ers in  flowery  language.  Prof.  Charle- 
magne Koehler  's  tragic  recital  of  ' '  The 
Horse  Race,"  an  imitation  of  comic 
opera  and  ' '  Lockery  Setting  a  Hen, ' ' 
provoked  prolonged  applause.  Robert 
Kift  sang  a  comic  song,  a  take-off  on 
the  Rose  Society,  which  was  received 
with  much   hilarity. 

The  speakers  were  as  follows: 

"Washington,  the  City  Beautiful," 
by    Commissioner   McFarlane. 

' '  The  Department  of  Agriculture  and 
Its  Work  for  Horticulturists,"  by  Dr. 
B.  T.  Oalloway. 

"Our  Country,"  by  Simon  Wolf. 

'  *  The  American  Rose  Society, ' '  by 
President   Robert   Simpson. 

"Washington  Parks,  Past  and  Pres- 
ent," by  George  E.  Brown. 

*  *  The  Gardener  and  His  Work  for 
the  Rose,"  by  Patrick  O'Mara. 

' '  Horticulture,  Past,  Present  and 
Future,"  by  Wm.  R.   Smith. 

"Our  Parent  Society,"  by  Wm.  J. 
Stewart. 

"Our  Guests,"  by  Wm.  F.  Gude. 

"The  Ladies,"  by  Robert  Craig. 

Friday  afternoon  the  society  was  re- 
ceived at  the  White  House  by  President 
Roosevelt. 

In  the  bowling  contest  held  at  the 
Rathskeller  between  Philadelphia,  Bal- 
timore and  Washington  teams,  the 
Washingtonians  were  victorious  and  re- 
ceived the  cup,  valued  at  $50,  offered  by 
F.  H.  Kramer.  J.  L.  C. 


TWO  DAYS  IN  WASHINGTON. 


The  Rose  Meeting. 

The  exhibition  of  the  American  Rose 
Society  held  in  the  Light  Infantry  Ar- 
mory last  week  was  one  of  great  inter- 
est to  every  rose  grower.  The  feature 
of  the  exhibition  was  the  wonderful  im- 
provement shown  in  the  production  of 
Richmond.  There  were  a  number  of 
vases  of  fifty  or  100  flowers  each  that 
surpassed  any  rose,  excepting  only 
American  Beauty,  that  I  have  ever  seen 
at  a  show.  The  flowers  were  large,  per- 
fect and  richly  colored)  the  stems  extra 
long  and  heavy,  while  the  foliage,  one 
of  this  "rose's  chief  glories,  was  ideal. 
The  whole  Richmond  exhibit  of  several 
hundred  flowers  was  an  inspiration  to 
every  grower  present.  Killarney,  too, 
was  in  finer  form  than  I  have  ever  seen 
it.  The  flowers  were  large  and  beauti- 
fully colored,  reminding  one  of  the  Cot- 
tage Maid  tulips  in  this  respect,  but  the 
stems  were  most  extraordinary,  for 
with  most  eastern  growers  Killarney 
comes  with  rather  short  stems  and  here 
were  stems  thirty  to  thirty-six  inches 
long.  They  were  said  to  be  from  graft- 
ed plants,  precluding  the  possibility  of 
bottom  breaks,  as  in  Richmond,  and  in- 
vestigation proved  they  had  in  some 
cases  been  twice  disbudded.  The  rules 
expressly  say  that  such  flowers  shall  be 
disqualified.  The  judges  evidently 
thought  diffeiently.  I  heartily  endorse 
their  action. 

The  general  scarcity  of  American 
Beauties  was  evidenced  by  there  being 
but  one  vase  of  fifty  flowers. 

From  a  plantsman's  standpoint  the 
Wichuraiana  hybrids  alone  were  worth 
going  miles  to  see.  Perfect  specimens 
probably  three  and  a  half  feet  hig^ 
clothed  with  their  hardy  foliage  down 
to  the  tub  and  covered  with  clusters  of 
tiny  blooms  that  were  a  sight.  The  new 
roses,  especially  E.  G.  Hill's  red,  were 
very  interesting.   ■

Queen  Beatrice. 

TImrsday  morning  F.  If.  KraiiUT  took 
a  larjre  party  in  an  olcctric  Inis  to  hcc 
Ills  own  j)lafO  and  tliat  of  (iudc  Bros. 
Tlio  two  j)laces  lie  side  by  aide  in  wliat 
was  formerly  Anacostia,  Init  is  now  in- 
(•luded  in  the  city  of  Washjnj^ton.  Tlie 
ol>ject  of  the  visit  was  to  see  Mr.  Kra- 
mer's new  rose,  Queen  Heatriee.  It  is 
w(tnderfully  strong,  producinjj  heavy 
eanes  from  the  base,  as  thick  as  your 
tinger.  The  ])lants  looked  clean  and 
healthy  an<l  even  the  ii{);hter  stems  held 
the  buds  erect.  The  rose  cannot  be 
<'las9ed  with  Bridesmaid,  the  color,  which 
may  be  described  as  a  rose  jtin.*.  shaded 
to  a  light  pink,  being  much  deeper,  ap- 
jiearing  to  l)etter  advantage,  I  thought, 
under  the  artificial  light  of  the  Armory 
than  under  natural  light.  Tlie  buds 
are  full  and  fragrant,  but  ratlier  flat. 
Mr.  Kramer  has  a  good  rose,  with  many 
strong   j)oints,   and   some   weak   ones. 

The  President's  Reception. 

It  would  not  have  been  possible  for 
the  Washington  florists  to  i)lease  their 
guests  more  than  they  did  by  arranging 
for  them  a  reception  at  the  White 
House.  This  was  shown  by  the  large 
crowd  that  gathereil  at  the  Armory  at 
half-past  two  on  Thursday  afternoon. 
Almost  every  florist  in  Washington  was 
there.  The  party,  led  by  Messrs.  Bis- 
set  and  Simj)son  carrying  an  immense 
vase  of  the  finest  Richmonds,  marched 
up  the  street  into  tlie  WHiite  House.  A 
short  halt  to  see  that  there  were  no  out- 
siders among  us  and  we  were  ushered 
into  a  large  reception  room  and  ranged 
in  a  semi-circle  around  a  door,  the  Kich- 
monds  in  the  center,  then  the  ladies  and 
the  men  around  the  outside,  ])robably 
seventy-five  in  all.  Jt  was  more  like  a 
jilay  than  real  life.  We  watted  for  a 
few  minutes  until  the  hour  set,  when 
the  door  opened  and  the  president  ap- 
peared. Robert  Craig  acted  as  spokes- 
man and  after  a  few  words  of  introduc- 
tion he  presented  E.  G.  Hill,  the  orig- 
inator of  Richmond.  The  president  and 
Mr.  Hill  have  a  mutual  friend  in  the 
city  of  Richmond  whom  they  both  es- 
teem. Then  the  president  made  a  hajipy 
little  spee«'h.  He  was  iiuich  pleased  with 
the  handsome  roses.  He  thought  them 
the  finest  he  had  ever  seen.  He  was 
glad  to  see  us  in  Washington  and  glad 
some  had  l)rought  their  better  halves. 
He  was  glad  Richmond  was  home-grown 
and  not  imported.  He  wanted  every- 
thing home-grown  and  with  the  hope 
that  Ave  would  enjoy  our  stay  he  .said, 
"Now  let's  shake  hands,"  which  was 
done  with  a  cordiality  that  was  unmis- 
takable. The  })resi(lent  shook  hands 
with  everyone,  saying  a  word  to  each  as 
he  or  she  was  presented  by  name.  He 
said  "  de-light 'ed"  to  P.  J*.  Lynch.  He 
said  "de-lighted"  to  Robert  H.  Pyle. 
He  said  "  de-light-ed "  to  every  man, 
whether  he  hailed  from  Philadelphia  or 
from  Pishkill-on-the-H'dson.  You  can 
see  the  wisdom  of  avoiding  variations. 
When  you  have  a  good  word  stick  to  it. 
Everyone  was  ' '  de-light-ed. ' '  One 
young  man  said  ' '  That  wa/  the  jjroud- 
est  moment  of  my  life, '^'-  Another, 
"Don't  speak  to  me;  I  fefi  two  inches 
taller;"  a  third,  "Better  wash  your 
hands  and  save  the  water. ' '  This 
savored  of  orientalism  rather  than  de- 
mocracy. It  was  an  honor  especially 
appreciated,  as  the  relief  measures  for 
Wall  street  were  occupying  the  presi- 
dent  that  day.

PREPARING  THE  SOIL. 

As  soon  as  the  frost  is  out  of  the 
ground  the  selection,  collection  anil  prep- 
aration of  th«  soil  for  j)lanting  should 
lie  commenced.  To  have  this  in  a  nice, 
mellow  condition,  ami  all  the  elements 
thoronglily  incorporated,  requires  consid- 
erable time  and  care  ami,  as  we  are  Hear- 
ing the  time  when  the  early  stock  •will 
require  ])lanting,  no  time  should  be  lost 
in  getting  the  soil  prepared. 

The  question  of  what  constitutes  a 
good  rose  soil  is  frequently  asked  and  as 
frequently  replied  to.  The  idT?al  soil 
seems  to  lie  a  good  fibrous  loam,  with  a 
slight  clay  mixture,  taken  from  old  pas- 
ture land  where  there  is  plenty  of  root 
fiber.  This  should  be  taken  to  the  depth 
of  six  or  seven  inches  and  put  in  a  pile, 
a<lding  one-fifth  of  decomposed  cow  ma- 
nure. 

The  ])ile  should  be  allowed  to  lie  for, 
at  least,  ten  days,  to  allow  the  gases 
from  the  decomposition  to  thoroughly  im- 
j)regnate,  or  leaven,  the  mass.  The  sod 
should  thvn  be  ch()))pe<l  up,  but  not  too 
fine  and  allowed  to  remain  for  a  week 
or  so  and  then  turned  over.  All  these 
operations  should  be  ])erformed  during 
bright,  sunny  weather,  as  there  is  nothing 
more  calculated  to  put  life  into  thw  soil 
than  frequent  exposure  to  sunshine,  and 
the  opposite  efli'ect  will  IxV  obtained  if 
these  operations  are  conducted  during 
rainy  weather,  or  wlit^ii  the  soil  is  in  a 
sodden  condition. 

Additional  fertilizers,  such  as  bone 
meal,  wood  ashes  or  lime,  can  l)e  added 
when  these  turnovers  are  being  made, 
when  there  will  hv  a  certainty  that  they 
can  he  incorporated  equally. 

These  piles  should  always  be  jilaced 
on  ground  a  little  above  the  general  level, 
so  that  the  drainage  may  be  perfect,  and 
allow  no  v.ater  to  accumulate  to  create 
sourness,  which  is  a  very  undesirable  con- 
dition in  rose  soil.  Ribes. 


TOO  COOL  FOR  ROSES. 

r  have  a  bed  over  some  pipes  in  one 
of  my  houses,  which  is  the  warmest  place 
in  the  house.  The  house  has  Lawson 
an<l  Fiancee  carnations  in  it.  WV  have 
jtractically  no  split  Lawsons  and  but 
few  split  Fiancees.  The  house  can  be 
ke{tt  at  about  50  degrees,  but  on  real 
cold  nights,  with  a  wind,  it  will  run 
down  to  4.")  degrees.  Howeser,  this  does 
not  occur  often. • 

I  would  like  to  grow  some  roses  on 
the  above  mentioned  bed,  but  I  do  not 
begin  firing  until  it   is  time  to  fire  for 


carnations.      (an     I    grow     roses    under 
these    conditions  f  J.    A.    F. 


1  am  afraid  the  conditions  describe<l 
in  the  foregoing  letter  would  not  be 
conducive  to  the  health  and  prosperity 
of  any  of  the  varieties  of  roses  at  pres- 
ent cultivated  tinder  glass,  because  at 
a  lower  tenij)erature  than  56  degrees 
they  will  not  jn-oduce  blooms  in  winter 
anci,  ir  firing  is  deferred  until  required 
by  carnations,  there  is  every  likelihood 
that  the  roses  would,  by  that  time,  be  so 
Aveak  and  unhealthy  that  they  would  not 
produce  anything  at  all. 

The  best  thing  to  do  under  those  con- 
ditions is  to  jdant  the  Avholc  house  to 
those  varieties  of  carnations  which  do 
well  at  a  lower  temperature  than  55  de- 
grees, and  buy  the  rose  blooms  you  may 
require.  You  will  find  it  much  more 
profitable  to  do  so.  Ribes. 


ROSE  RHEA  REID. 

Rose  growers  Avho  have  had  the  oppor- 
tunity of  inspecting  Rhea  Reid,  the  new 
rose  of  the  E.  G.  Hill  ('o.,  Richmond, 
Ind.,  have  all  been  favorably  impressed 
Avith  it.  As  no  great  jiro^^ortion  of  the 
total  nnmbier  of  groAvers  have  as  yet  had 
the  o]>|)ortunity  of  seeing  the  rose,  the 
accomjianying  illustration  Avill  be  of  in- 
terest;  also  the  note,  Avhich  said: 

' '  We  are  mailing  today  a  photograph

tremely free,  opens  A\ell  in  ilark  Aveather

for  a  first-class  red  forcing  variety.  It 
is  a  seedling  of  American  Beauty

CLIMBING  AND  TRAILING  ROSES. 

[A  imixT  by  M.  II.  AV.tlsli.  of  AAVkkIs  Hole. 
Muss.,  read  liofnrc  tlic  aiiiniiil  cimveiition  of  the 
Aiin'i'l<;iii  Hose  Society,  iit  AA'asliiiiKtoii.  I).  C,

Tlie  popularity  of  climbing  and  trail- 
ing roses  is  increasing  yearly  as  their 
valuable  qualities  for  garden  decoration 
become  knoAvn.  It  Avas  in  the  year  1893 
that  Wichuraiana  Avas  first  introducei} 
into  the  United  States.  Shortly  after 
the  Crimson  Rambler  Avas  also  brought 
to  this  country.  The  Wichuraiana  and 
Crimson  Rambler  are  the  tAAo  parent 
jtlants  from  the  many  varieties  of  ram- 
bling and  trailing  roses  and  these  may 
properly  be  called  Wichuraiana  and  mul- 
tiflora  hybrids,  a  new  race  of  hardy 
garden  roses. 

Their  vigor  and  constitution  make 
them  desirable,  as  they  proAC  hardy  in 
the  coldest  localities.  The  freedom  of 
groAvth,  fine  foliage,  and  easy  culture 
])lace  them  Avithin  reach  of  the  amateur 
MS    well    as    the    professional    gardener.

'riicy  adiipt  theiiisclvos  to  the  varied  con- 
ditions of  soil  and  climate;  of  eourst% 
the  better  the  soil  and  more  attention 
received,  the  finer  will  be  the  growth 
and  profusion  of  ilowers.  They  grow  in 
light,  sandy  soil  with  less  attention  than 
most  any  other  roses. 

Variety  of  Treatment. 

The  various  ways  in  which  these  i)lants 
may  h(f  grown  as  decorative  i)lants  in  the 
garden  are  several:  They  may  be  trained 
in  j)yranud  form  on  posts  set  in;  the 
ground  about  eigiit  and  one-half  feet 
iiigh,  or  in  bush  form.  They  can  be 
grown  as  windbreaks  on  a  trellis.  They 
also  make  fine  specimens  when  grown  as 
.standards  aliout  four  feet  higli.  They 
are  being  used  largely  at  the  present  time 
for  ]iergolas  and  archways  and,  when 
necessary,  may  Ite  grown  as  ground  roses 
trailing  on  tiie  surface.  They  are  ad- 
mirably suited  for  covering  rocks  and 
stumps  of  trees. 

When  used  for  i)ergolas,  the  posts 
should  be  set  about  ten  feet  apart  and 
eight  anil  one-half  feet  high.  For  (puck 
t'ft'ect  three  plants  to  the  post  will  reach 
the  top  and  partly  cover  over  the  first 
year.  Two  ])lants  usually  are  sufficient 
unless  immediate  effect  is  desired. 

Effect  of  New  Race. 

In  1903  there  were  ft'w  climbing  roses 
which  proved  satisfactory,  Queen  of  the 
Prairie  and  Baltimore  Belle  being  the 
two  varieties  mostly  called  for.  While 
these  made  ra))id  growth  and  gave  fine 
effect  tiiey  were  subject  to  the  attacks  of 
insects  and,  unless  sharply  looked  after, 
shed  their  foliage  and  becanu^  an  eye- 
sore. The  hybrid  Wichnraiana  and  mul- 
tiflora  arc  more  desirable,  l)eing  Jess  lia- 
ble to  the  attacks  of  insects,  and  they 
produce  hundreds  of  blooms  more  to  the 
plant  than  the  old  varieties  of  climbing 
roses. 

The  eft'ect  in  the  hanly  rose  garden 
produced  by  this  new  race  of  roses  is 
marvelous  and  bewildering,  almost  beau- 
tiful beyond  description  where  fine  speci- 
mens may  be  seen  in  the  various  colors, 
single  and  double  flowers.  This  effect 
could  not  V)e  attained  until  the  advent  of 
these  roses.  The}'  are  ornamental  when 
out  of  flower,  as  the  foliage  is  distinct 
and  shiny  in  nuuiy  of  the  variiHies,  some 
having  the  aj)iH>arance  of  being  var- 
nished, as  it  were.  Another  most  valu- 
able consideration  is  the  second  crop  of 
blooms  jtroduced  by  a  few  of  the  varie- 
ties, in  Septend)er,  contiiuung  until  the 
frost  sets  in. 

To  Obtain  Best  Results. 

To  obtain  the  best  res\ilts  when  j)lant- 
ing  ramblers  it  is  well  to  dig  the  hole 
two  and  one-half  feet  deep  and  about 
three  feet  wide,  enriching  the  soil  with 
<lecomposed  barnyard  juannre.  Plants 
five  feet  long,  set  out.  produce  flowers 
the  first  season.  The  young  shoots  should 
he  tied  occasionally  as  growth  requires; 
this  keeps  the  Avind  fro:n  swaying  them 
about. 

Where  insects  attack  these  roses  a 
slight  dusting  of  ludlelxu-e  is  usually  suf- 
ficient to  stoj)  their  ravages.  It  is  easily 
a|)plied  and  no  injurious  results  follow 
from  its  use,  as  is  often  the  case  when 
tobacco  water  or  whale-oil  solution  is 
used,  as  many  amateurs  have  found  out 
to   their  sorrow. 

Varieties. 

The  earliest  variety  to  blooni  is  Wed- 
ditig  Bells,  semi-doui)le,  pink  ami  white 
flowers;   this  is  fi  seedling  from  ("rimsnn 


New  Rose  Rhea  Reid. 


Kanibler.  .Next  to  flower  is  Debutante, 
soft  pink  and  doul)le;  the  flowers  ai-e 
borne  in  large  j)innacles.  Sweetheart 
conies  next.  Carissima  then  follows.  Dor- 
othy Perkins,  a  beautiful,  soft  pink, 
flowers  about  July  1,  as  do  Wichnraiana, 
Crimson  Wand)ler,  and  Lady  (Jay.  Then 
follow  La  Fiamma,  single  red;  Hiawa- 
tha, bright  crimson,  base  of  petals  whitx"; 
Minnehaha,  large,  double,  dark  ros<' 
color;  I'aradise,  single  and  a  most  \ig- 
orous  grower,  well  ada[)ted  for  parks 
and  driveways  and  trellis  work,  ('(xpiina 
is  a  delightful  simile  of  ]>orcelain  pink 
with  the  base  of  the  })etals  yellow,  flow- 
ers from  one  inch  ami  a  (juarter  to  an 
inch  and  a  half  in  diometer.  Delight  is 
considered  l)y  some  to  be  one  of  the  best 
of  recent  introductions.  Its  color  is 
crimsrn  with  base  of  petals  whit<>  and 
has  dark,  shiny  foliage. 

Jackson  Dawson  raised  \aliuiblc  and 
most  desirabl(!  \arietit>s,  such  as  The 
Dawson,  W.  ('.  l''gan,  Fariiuhar  and  oth- 
ers. W.  A.  Maiida,  of  South  Orange, 
New  Jersey,  has  furnished  such  grand 
varieties  as  Manda 's  Trium])h  and  Fa- 
vorite; and  others  jia\«'  ad<led  many  val- 
ualile  ones  to  the  list.  So  we  have  a 
good  list  of  varieties  in  wiile  range  of 
color.  It  is  a  matter  of  choice  as  to 
color.  In  |)lanting.  however,  varieties 
should  l)e  selected  which  harmonize  and 
not  clash  with  each  other,  for  at  this 
time  the  effect  from  an  artistic  point  of 


view    ad<ls    much    to    the    bi-anty    of    tin- 
garden. 

Prunning, 

A  tew  \arieties  bloom  (piite  freely  in 
Se|»temlK'r  by  pruning.  Cut  back  the 
shoots  which  have  flowere<l  in  the  early 
summer  to  within  two  inches  of  the  main 
shoot  and  shorten  the  long  shoots  a  few 
im-hes.  Hiawatha,  Debutante  ami  De- 
light treated  in  this  way  will  produce  a 
nice  lot  of  blooms. 

When  the  shoots  ai'e  too  ciowdeil,  cvit 
out  the  old  oru's,  leaving  shoots  of  the 
l)iTvious  season's  growth  to  j)roduce  the 
blooms.  The  luimber  can  best  be  deter- 
mined by  the  space  it  is  desired  to  cover 
and  the  vigor  of  the  variety. 

This  class  of  roses,  owing  to  the  hardi- 
ness and  their  adapting  themselves  to 
varying  conditions  of  soil  and  clinmte, 
com:nend  themselves  to  the  considrration 
(if  thi^  amateur. 

Xew  and  meritorious  varieties  in  white, 
jiorcelain  pink  ami  yidlow  are  exi)ected 
and  will  shortly  be  ready  for  distribu- 
tion. It  is  ])ossible  we  nmy  see  per- 
jtetual  })h)oming  ramblers  as  free  as  the 
hybrid  tea  or  monthly  ros<>.  Then,  in- 
deed, we  shall  ha\-e  realized  our  highest 
expectations.  The  American  raised  hy- 
lirifls  give  great  satisfaction  in  ICuropc 
and  the  continent  and  are  marvels  of 
beauty  when  in  bloom,  almost  baffling  de- 
scription.

EXPRESS  RATES. 


Hearing:  at  Washington. 

The  Society  of  American  Florists  ap- 
peared before  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  at  Washington  Friday  and 
Saturday  of  last  week,  March  15  and 
16.  Some  twenty  or  twenty-five  officers 
and  members  of  the  society  were  pres- 
ent and  evidence  was  offered  by  Frank 
L.  Moore,  Chatham,  N.  J.;  L.  M.  Noe 
and  Eobert  Schultz,  Madison,  N.  J.; 
Adolph  Farenwald,  Eoslyn,  Pa.;  F.  H. 
Traendly,  New  York  City,  and  W.  J. 
Stewart,  Boston.  The  evidence  was  for 
the  purpose  of  proving  rates  which  were 
charged  prior  to  and  after  a  date  upon 
which  the  United  States  Express  Co. 
arbitrarily  raised  its  charges  for  han- 
dling cut  flowers  in  the  vicinity  of  New 
York.  Two  hours  and  a  half  were  con- 
sumed in  presenting  the  evidence.  On 
the  following  day  representatives  of  the 
express  company  presented  their  side 
of  the  case,  seeking  to  show  the  perish- 
able character  of  the  goods  and  the 
high  value,  combining  to  render  a  rate 
higher  than  that  charged  for  merchan- 
dise justifiable. 

Those  who  attended  the  session  give 
it  as  their  opinion  that  the  three  mem- 
bers of  the  commission  who  listened  to 
the  evidence  were  favorably  disposed 
towards  the  florists.  The  express  com- 
pany now  has  fifteen  days  in  which  to 
file  a  brief  and  the  S.  A.  F.  has  ten  days 
to  reply,  so  that  no  decision  may  be 
expected  inside  of  thirty  days. 


PACKING  PLANTS  FOR  EXPORT. 

Every  year,  as  the  season  for  the  sale 
of  soft-wooded  stuff  comes  round,  says 
the  Horticultural  Advertiser  (English), 
we  hear  grievous  complaints  as  to  heavy 
losses  among  plants  received  from  abroad 
and  also  exported  from  this  country. 
Many  nurserymen  say  that  they  have  so 
many  complaints  and  that  the  business 
is  so  unsatisfactory  that  they  now  de- 
cline foreign  trade,  unless  done  upon  a 
cash-with-order  basis,  with  a  repudiation 
of  all  responsibility. 

From  our  own  experience  we  are  con- 
vinced that  apart  from  such  accidents  as 
being  placed  too  near  the  boilers,  and 
similar  risks  of  travel,  a  large  propor- 
tion of  this  worry  and  loss  may  be 
avoided  by  proper  care  and  system.  The 
trouble  arises  mainly  from  two  causes — 
immature  plants  and  improper  packing. 

When  we  were  in  this  line  we  had 
regular  customers  for  new  zonals  in  the 
States  and  elsewhere,  to  whom  we  sent 
soft-wooded  plants  annually  with  inva- 
riable success;  so  much  so,  that  some  of 
our  customers  used  to  have  plants  sent 
to  us  from  other  raisers  to  be  dispatched 
with  our  own  goods.  Our  first  point  was 
to  select  healthy,  forward  plants,  which 
were  kept  without  crowding,  well  exposed 
to  the  light  until  May,  when  they  were 
placed  outside  to  harden,  but  in  such 
position  that  lights  could  be  run  over 
them  on  a  cold  night.  After  a  week  or 
two  of  this  treatment  the  plants  assumed 
a  hard,  woody  appearance  at  the  base 
and  were  then  ready  for  dispatch. 

In  packing,  the  plants  were  taken  out 
of  the  pots  and  the  balls  well  secured 
either  in  paper  traveling  pots  or  by  tying 
up  in  moss;  this  done,  they  were  placed 
in  a  box,  one  layer  on  each  side,  with  the 
tops  meeting  in  the  middle.  This  opera- 
tion requires  a  little  care  to  make  a  firm 
job,  but  is  not  really  difficult  if  one  row 
at  a  time  be  placed  firmly  in  position 
and  then  secured  by  fixing  a  square  lath 


over  the  shoulder  of  the  balls;  the  lath 
being  nailed  through  the  box  ends.  A 
few  ventilating  holes  for  the  tops  of  the 
plants  must  not  be  forgotten.  Bore 
these  with  a  brace  and  bit  before  doing 
anything  else,  and  tack  a  patch  of  per- 
forated zinc  over  each  to  exclude  vermin. 
The  processes  described  demand  time  and 
care,  but  it  pays  better  to  receive  a  con- 
signment with  ninety-five  per  cent  alive 
and  ready  to  start  than  a  mass  of  half 
rotten  stuff,  even  if  the  packing  charges 
are  a  little  heavier.  Also,  it  goes  with- 
out saying,  that  if  the  buyer  who  cuts 
prices  down  to  cost  of  production  expects 
his  plants  to  be  cared  for  as  above  de- 
scribed he  will  probably  be  grievously 
disappointed. 

THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Charles  W.  Seeley. 

Charles  W.  Seeley,  of  Eochester,  N.Y., 
died  March  10  at  the  residence  of  Ed- 
ward Hannah,  226  Merriman  street.  Mr. 
Seeley  was  born  at  Greenwich,  Saratoga 
county,  in  1829,  and  removed  to  Eoches- 
ter in  1835  with  his  parents,  two  broth- 
ers and  three  sisters.  He  became  asso- 
ciated with  the  late  James  Vick  on  the 
editorial  staff  of  the  Genesee  Farmer. 
In  1844  he  established  the  Union  Nurs- 
eries. Later  he  again  became  associated 
with  James  Vick,  his  brother-in-law,  act- 
ing as  editor  of  Vick's  Quarterly,  which 
was  superseded  by  Vick's  Magazine. 

Mr.  Seeley  had  quite  a  reputation  as  a 
botanist.  Among  the  things  he  possessed 
was  a  fine  collection  of  ferns.  He  was 
also  greatly  interested  in  grapes  and 
once  owned  a  fine  vineyard  at  Vine  Val- 
ley, on  Canandaigua  lake.  He  is  credited 
with  having  originated  several  varieties 
of  this  fruit.  He  was  a  landscape  artist 
of  some  repute.  He  drew  the  plans  for 
Eochester 's  most  beautifully  planted 
street,  Portsmouth  Terrace,  which  was 
made  after  the  death  of  James  Vick, 
twenty-five  years  ago. 

As  a  writer  on  horticultural  subjects, 
Mr.  Seeley  was  widely  known.  Among 
his  productions  were  "Language  of 
Flowers,"  "How  to  Make  a  Lawn," 
"Farmer's  Handbook"  and  a  popular 
card  game  designed  to  teach  botany.  He 
edited  *  *  How  to  Grow  Flowers, ' '  pub- 
lished in  West  Grove,  Pa.  He  was  a 
charter  member  of  the  Western  New 
York  Horticultural  Society,  which  he 
joined  in  1857. 

James  Draper. 

James  Draper,  who  died  at  Worces- 
ter, March  13,  was  one  of  the  best 
known  of  the  pioneer  market  garden- 
ers, nurserymen  and  all  around  horti- 
culturists in  Massachusetts.  He  was 
born  in  Worcester,  August  31,  1842.  At 
the  age  of  18  years  he  began  doing 
business  as  a  market  gardener  and  at 
this  was  very  successful,  becoming  one 
of  the  largest  producers  in  the  Wor- 
cester section.  He  grew  small  fruits 
on  a  large  scale  and  finding  a  heavy 
demand  for  stock  of  the  sort  he  grew, 
he  branched  out  and  established  the 
Bloomingdale  Nurseries,  issuing  his 
first  catalogue  in  1867,  which  was  then 
quite  a  unique  affair.  A  general  vari- 
ety of  nursery  stock  was  grown  and 
the  reputation  of  his  nurseries  spread 
all  over  New  England. 

The  deceased  also  manufactured  ce- 
ment drain  and  sewer  pipes  and  was 
one  of  the  originators  and  constructors 
of  the  Worcester  and  Shrewsbury  rail- 
road.   He  was  an  active  member  of  the 


Worcester  Horticultural  Society  for 
many  years,  was  one  of  the  originators 
and  first  president  of  the  Massachusetts 
Fruit  Growers'  Association,  trustee  of 
the  Massachusetts  Horticultural  Col- 
lege and  held  a  number  of  civic  ap- 
pointments at  various  times.  He  was 
also  past-master  of  the  Massachusetts 
State  Grange.  The  interment  on  March 
17  was  largely  attended,  a  delegation 
from  the  Worcester  Horticultural  So- 
ciety being  included.  W.  N.  C. 

.   John  C  Garden, 

John  C.  Garden,  a  gardener  of  Ana- 
costia,  D.  C,  died  at  his  home  on  !Min- 
nesota  avenue,  March  11,  aged  57  years. 
He  came  of  a  family  of  Scotch  florists 
and  was  educated  as  such  in  the  old 
country,  but  changed  to  the  vegetable  in- 
dustry after  coming  to  America,  though 
much  attention  was  given  to  growing 
bedding  plants.  Deceased  was  a  son  of 
the  late  Alexander  Garden,  and  half- 
brother  of  Alexander  B.  Garden,  the 
well-known  grower  of  Washington.

BOSTON. 

The  Market 

Flowers  are  now  shortening  up  quite 
perceptibly.  Growers  are  holding  back 
as  much  stock  as  possible  and  as  a 
consequence  prices  have  stiffened  some- 
what all  around.  Eoses  are  equal  to 
all  demands,  but  are  realizing  good 
prices.  Brides  continue  a  little  scarce. 
Beauties  are  improving,  but  do  not  sell 
so  readily  as  Eichmond,  which  has 
displaced  the  older  rose  to  a  large  ex- 
tent with  many  buygrs.  Killarney  is 
coming  extra  fine,  as  is  Chatenay  and 
Wellesley.  Carnations  are  making 
much  better  prices,  whites  continuing 
to  sell  as  well  as  the  colored  sorts. 
Enchantress  is  still  the  leading  sort  on 
the  market.  Violets  are  abundant. 
Good  stock  averages  50  cents  per  hun- 
dred, poor  grades  going  lower.  Higher 
prices  will  prevail  in  a  few  days. 

Sweet  peas  are  of  superlative  ex- 
cellence and  more  abundant  than  in 
June  and  July.  Mont  Blanc  and  Ear- 
liest of  All  continue  the  leading  sorts, 
few  'of  the  other  shades  being  seen. 
Prices  on  these  have  improved.  In  ad- 
dition to  the  general  run  of  narcissi, 
tulips  and  hyacinths,  which  are  clear- 
ing out  better,  there  are  ixias,  white 
and  scarlet  anemones,  tritomas,  and 
other  spring  bulbous  stock  seen.  Callas 
and  Easter  lilies  are  just  enough  for 
demands  and  higher  prices  are  being 
asked.  Many  growers,  in  spite  of  the 
warmer  weather,  will  miss  getting 
many  of  their  lilies  in  season  and  in- 
dications are  that  there  will  be  none 
too  many  of  these  to  go  around.  There 
is  a  good  supply  of  fine  valley.  Gar- 
denias also  are  more  plentiful.  Cat- 
tleyas  are  scarce,  a  few  Trianae  and 
Schroederjana  only  being  seen.  Green 
supplies  remain  about  the  same. 

Carnations  at  Ellis. 

The  new  scarlet.  Beacon,  is  the  lead- 
ing attraction  at  Peter  Fisher's  this 
season.  Some  20,000  plants  are  grown 
and  while  many  plants  have  been  used 
for  cuttings  rather  than  bloom  produc- 
tion, it  was  easy  to  note  that  this  new 
scarlet  is  a  wonderfully  prolific  vari- 
ety. Color,  stem  and  general  habit 
seem  to  be  ideal.  Mr.  Fisher's  own 
sales  amount  to  100,000  and  it  is  evi- 
dent that  Beacon  is  going  to  be  the, 
dominant  scarlet  in  1907-8.

In  seedlings  are  one  or  two  new  sorts 
which  Mr.  Fisher  thinks  may  even  beat 
Beacon.  In  whites,  Lady  Bountiful  was 
not  doing  so  well  as  in  the  previous 
year.  "White  Lawson  was  excellent. 
White  Perfection  will  be  more  largely 
planted.  Its  habit  is  rather  poor,  but 
the  flower  is  of  magnificent  size  and 
substance  and  absolutely  pure  in  color 
at  all  times.  Alma  Ward  was  pleasing, 
immense  flowers  of  excellent  form  car- 
ried on  fine  stems.  It  should  displace 
Prosperity.  Evangeline,  one  of  Mr. 
Fisher's  seedlings  of  a  lovely  salmon 
pink  color,  is  found  a  profitable  sort 
to  grow  for  cut  flowers.  Enchantress 
is  still  grown  in  quantity  and  a  num- 
ber of  the  rose-pink  sport  will  be 
benched  next  season.  A  good  batch  of 
Winsor  also  will  be  planted.  Elsa 
Struss  was  not  doing  especially  well. 
For  dark  pink,  Nelson  Fisher  is  grown 
and  does  finely.  For  variegated  Mrs. 
Patten  is  grown  exclusively.  Young 
stock  in  pots  and  flats  and  the  stock 
in  the  cutting  house  were  all  in  fine 
condition. 

Qub  Meetin£. 

Carnation  night  brought  out  a  splen- 
did attendance  to  the  club  meeting 
March  19,  125  being  present.  There 
were  a  good  number  of  exhibits,  but 
these  would  have  been  even  more  nu- 
merous but  for  the  spring  show  of  the 
Massachusetts  Horticultural  Society 
coming  three  days  later,  for  which 
growers  were  saving  their  blooms.  W. 
W.  Eawson  staged  exhibits  of  lettuce 
and  radishes.  Wm.  Sim  had  sixteen 
vases  of  sweet  peas  and  was  awarded 
a  report  of  superior  merit.  Peter  Fisher 
,  received  a  report  of  merit  for  Alma 
Ward  carnation  and  also  showed  Bea- 
con and  Evangeline.  A.  Roper  was 
given  a  report  of  merit  for  his  carna- 
tion. Bay  State,  and  also  showed  other 
seedlings.  E.  B.  Beals  had  several 
seedlings.  H.  A.  Stevens  Co.  had  a 
splendid  lot  of  flowers,  including  sev- 
eral seedlings.  Wm.  Nicholson  received 
a  report  of  merit  for  a  splendid  lot  of 


Afterglow.  Elijah  Wood  had  a  fine  scar- 
let seedling.  F.  R.  Pierson  Co.  staged 
White  Enchantress  and  Winsor.  Dan- 
iel Iliffe  had  a  revolving  iron  plant 
stand  on  exhibition. 

F.  E.  Palmer  read  a  report  from  the 
committee  on  boiler  legislation,  speak- 
ing of  the  State  House  hearing  and 
the  work  done  by  the  committee.  The 
report  was  accepted  and  the  committee 
thanked  for  its  labors.  The  question 
of  a  club  banquet  came  up.  The  exe- 
cutive committee  recommended  holding 
one  in  April,  as  was  done  in  1906.  It 
was  voted  to  do  so. 

J.  K.  M.  L.  Farquhar  and  W.  J. 
Stewart  spoke  on  S.  A.  F.  matters  and 
the  Washington  rose  show.  J.  W.  Dun- 
can proposed  Jackson  Dawson  for  hon- 
orary membership. 

There  was  an  animated  and  prolonged 
discussion  on  carnation  growing.  F.  E. 
Palmer  preferred  indoor  culture  all 
summer.  M.  A.  Patten  considered  the 
two  systems  about  equal  in  results. 
Peter  Fisher  said  indoor  culture  has 
proved  far  superior  with  him.  F.  R. 
Pierson  said  that  he  has  found  indoor 
culture  best  in  roomy,  airy  houses. 
W.  J.  Stewart  and  W.  N.  Craig  advo- 
cated that  more  attention  be  paid  to 
fragrance.  J.  K.  M.  L.  Farquhar,  James 
Wheeler,  H.  A.  Stevens,  A.  Roper  and 
D.  Finlayson  spoke  on  other  phases  of 
carnation  growing. 

Eight  new  members  were  elected. 
The  secretary  announced  the  death  of 
one  of  the  club  members,  Neil  B.  Glass, 
February  26,  in  the  Boston  city  hospi- 
tal. President  Westwood  urged  a  large 
attendance  March  23  at  the  field  day 
to  W.  W.  Edgar's,  Waverley.  The  sum 
of  $25  was  voted  for  a  special  prize  to 
be  offered  at  the  chrysanthemum  show 
in  November. 

Refreshments  were  served,  as  usual, 
and  the  meeting  did  not  adjourn  until 
quite  a  late  hour. 

VariotM  Note*. 

Members  of  the  Gardeners'  and  Flo- 
rists'  Club   are   reminded   of   the   field 


day  at  W.  W.  Edgar's,  Waverley,  Sat- 
urday, March  23,  leaving  on  1:30  p.  ni. 
electrics  from  Park  street  station.  A 
cordial  invitation  is  given  to  non-mem- 
bers to  join  in  the  excursion. 

The  spring  exhibition  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural  Society,  which 
will  open  on  Friday  this  week,  prom- 
ises to  be  well  up  to  the  average.  The 
near  approach  of  Easter  will  affect  the 
displays  from  commercial  growers  to 
some  extent.  A  full  report  will  be 
given  in  next  week's  issue. 

St.  Patrick's  day,  which  was  offi- 
cially observed  March  18,  caused  an 
active  demand  for  shamrocks.  A  good 
many  green  carnations  and  roses  were 
also  in  evidence.  It  is  surprising  how 
people  can  be  led  to  buy  these  abomi- 
nations, but  the  dyeing  process  seems 
to  increase  each  year. 

Mann  Bros.,  of  Randolph,  have,  as 
usual,  grand  lots  of  lilies,  ramblers, 
spiraeas,  bulbous  stock  and  other  Eas- 
ter plants  of  first-class  quality. 

Tailby  &  Sons  and  other  growers  are 
bringing  in  nice  Spanish  iris  which 
finds  a  ready  sale. 

E.  Sutermeister,  C.  J.  O'Brien  and 
John  J.  Fee  are  handling  quantities  of 
fine  bulbous  stock  and  will  have  a 
splendid  lot  of  cut  blooms  as  well  as 
pots  and  pans  for  Easter. 

While  winter  still  lingers  somewhat 
in  the  lap  of  spring,  conditions  are  a 
little  more  congenial.  Seed  merchants 
are  now  doing  a  heavy  counter  trade 
and  will  be  kept  on  the  jump  from  this 
time  onwards. 

A.  H.  Hews  &  Co.  report  pot  trade 
as  phenomenally  brisk  and  they  are 
having  hard  work  to  keep  up  with  their 
orders.  W.  N.  Craig. 

Pittsburg,  Pa. — H.  B.  Beatty,  treas- 
urer of  the  S.  A.  F.,  has  returned  from  a 
southern  trip. 

Tipton,  Ia.— J.  D.  and  T.  W.  Patter- 
son have  purchased  the  Shiffer  &  Godden 
greenhouses  and  have  already  taken  pos- 
I  session.

A  frreat  Kaster  for  all  and  the  best,  Jet 
us  liope,  that  llorieuUure  has  <'ver 
known  from  one  end  of  the  l)roa<l  Ijind 
to  the  other.  Kvi'ry  department  of  the 
florists'  l)iisiness  deserves  it.  The 
growers  have  iiad  a  strenuous  winter, 
lifflit  supply,  continuous  cold,  tremen- 
dous coal  hills  and  now  low  j)rices  for 
their  products.  May  Kaster  put  them 
all    )ia(d\   on    easy   strec^t   ayain. 

'I"he  retailers  feel,  more  than  any 
other  industry  in  this  lujr  city,  the  ])an- 
icky  conditions  in  the  stock  market. 
Outside  of  Xew  ^'ork  it  is  not  easy  to 
realize  the  immense  difference  in  flower 
huy  in<i  which  this  occasions.  Wail 
street  is  the  Xew  \'ork  retail  florists' 
barometer.  A  rising  market  and  pros- 
j)erity  there  nu'an  j^ood  buying  and  o|i- 
timism  in  the  llower  shops  of  the  me- 
tropolis. If  the  ])resi(lent  and  Law^son 
will  devot<'  themselves  to  the  country's 
weal  and  to  new  carnations,  the  rail- 
roads, the  cro|)s  and  the  markets  will 
take  <'are  of  t  henis(d\-es.  Kvervthiny 
will  look  liiiyiiter  by  March  ;{|.  Kvery 
jfood  ]»lant  is  already  ordered.  Wher- 
ever ]  yo  I  hear  the  same  story  and  see 
the  eviilence  of  it.  R(>ally,  I  do  not 
believe  there  will  be  one  j)erfect  plant 
in  any  j;re(>nliouse  within  fifty  miles 
remaining  unsold  four  days  before  the 
Kaster  festival  lu'f^ins.  To  speidfy  the 
centers  of  the  plant*  industry  here  and 
do  eacii  om^  justice  woidfl  use  up  every 
jiajje  of  this  l)ijr  nund)er.  Of  the  ex- 
cellent results  a(diie\-eil  by  our  ex|)ert 
j^rowers  the  past  speaks  with  no  uncer- 
tain voice.  ShipnuMits  from  here  go  to 
every  ])art  of  the  country.  Tliere  may 
be  a  scarcity  of  ramblers,  for  many 
liave  failed  to  bud  and  bloom,  espe- 
cially the  Dorothy  I'erkins.  I'rices  are 
about  the  same  as  in  11)0(5.  The  si/.e 
at  $2  is  th(>  most  ]>opular  and  brings 
easily  .1'.)  a  plant  at  retail,  ril)l)ons  and 
pot   covers  inidutle(l. 

Lilies  have  all  Ikhmi  booked  at  12 
cents  per  bud;  very  few  S(dd  at  10  cents 
and  these  only  the  smaller  flowers. 
From  now  on  tiie  bcdated  buyers  will 
])ay  ]")  cents  and  I  will  not  be  surprise<l 
to  see  the  price  so.'ir  to  20  cents  before 
(iood  Friday.  So  Tiuudi  for  a  movable 
Kaster.  In  addition  to  j)lants  of  lilies 
and  ros(>s  there  are  lilacs,  ericas,  rho- 
df»(l(Midrons.  liydrangeas,  acacias  and 
azaleas   in    endless   profusion. 

1  note  a  year  ago  the  ])i'oj)hec_\'  was 
fulfilled,  as  to  the  two  dull  weeks  be- 
fore Kaster,  and  it  was  stated  that 
similar  results  might  be  expected  in 
1907,  and  here  they  are.  A  year  ago 
roses  were  scdling  at  $10  a  fhousaml 
and  good  H«>auties  were  (juoted  at  $2..')0 
per  do/.en.  Brides  and  Maids  at  .$.")  per 
liun<lred.  Violets  and  carnations  re- 
ceded to  the  lowest  of  the  year  and  the 
(juality  of  everything  was  superb.  After 
all,  you  see  we  are  ahead  of  last  y(>ar 
and  things  are  not  so  black  as  they 
look.  Nothing  like  com])arisons  to  cre- 
ate contentment,  especially  if  it  can  be 
shown  that  ])rogress  is  being  inad(>  and 
the   sun    is   still    shining. 

Carnations  will  be  scarce  for  Kaster 
and  ])rices  will  advance.  This  is  a  free 
tip,    the    sajne    ;is    the    one    T    gavP    on 


lilies.  Roses  will  be  abundant,  Beau- 
ties especially,  and  of  violets,  as  of  tiie 
stars,  no  man  can  number  them.  Jieau- 
ties  f(dl  to  $5  a  do/,en  Marcii  18,  the 
best  of  them.  .All  roses  went  dowji, 
and  violets  suridy  touched  bottom 
for  the  season.  Some  of  the  whole- 
salers closed  out  as  high  as  50,000  at 
a  clip;  as  to  what  he  got  for  them,  I 
refuse  to  answer.  There  have  been  a 
lot  of  "brain  storms"  of  late  in  the 
wholesale  district. 

Of  bulbous  stock  there  is  no  end. 
Like  a  river  wide  and  deep,  the  tide 
flows  in.  There  is  a  great  abundance  of 
valley.  Orchids,  a  dozen  varieties,  are 
announced  at  headquarters  and  many 
orders  from  other  cities  are  coming  in. 
Orchid  growing  is  rapidly  increasing  in 
this  vicinity  and  yet  the  demand  grows 
more  rapidly. 

Various  Notes. 

Tlu!  New  Yorkers  who  attended  tiie 
rose  convention  have  given  glowing  ac- 
counts of  their  enjoyment  and  its  suc- 
cess. Messrs.  Traemlly,  C.uttman, 
O'Mara,  Sheridan,  Langjahr,  Coilding- 
ton.  Sawyer,  Moore,  Hagley,  Schultz 
and  Manda  represented  the  metropolis. 
The  call  upon  the  President,  the  inter- 
view with  the  interstate  commerce 
committee  and  the  banquet  were  the 
))leasantest    memories. 

Among  the  distinguished  visitors  in 
the  city  last  week  were  Phil  Breit- 
ineyer,  of  Detroit,  and  Peter  Crowe,  of 
rtica.  As  usual,  Harry  Bunyard 
guided  them  through  the  intricacies  of 
"the  great  white  way." 

(ieorge  Powell  lectures  at  the  Amer- 
ican Institute,  this  week  Wednesday, 
on  "The  Culture  of  Small  Fruits,  How 
to  Start  and  Manage  Strawberries, 
Kas])berries,  Blackberries  and  Cur- 
rants." Next  week  Wednesday  Henry 
Si(dire(dit,  Sr.,  will  give  an  illustrated 
lecture  on  "Kaster  Plants  and  Home 
Decoration. " 

Traendly  &  Scheuck's  lieutenant  is 
very  ill  with   pleurisy. 

r.  (!.  Scollay,  of  Brooklyn,  who  en- 
dured an  ()j)eration  for  apj)endicitis 
some   weeks   ago,   is   slowdy   recovering. 

Then*  is  a  fine  new  five-story  build- 
ing about  completed  at  Jacobs  &  Son's, 
on  Flushing  avenu<',  Brooklyn,  where 
everything  in  gre(>nhouse  material  will 
have  abundant  room  and  convenience. 
This  firm  reports  a  great  increase  dur- 
ing the  last  year  in  every  dejiartnu-nt 
of  the  industry. 

y.  K.  Pierson,  former  vice-president 
of  the  Eose  Society,  was  so  enthralled 
by  Winsor  and  its  requirements  that 
he  was  obliged  to  cut  out  the  rose  con- 
vention. So  nuudi  for  the  new  carna- 
tion that  the  B(>auty  king  has  added  to 
his   harem. 

The  auctions  are  on  at  Klliott's  twice 
a  week  and  prices  are  declared  satisfac- 
tory. Im|)ortations  are  arriving  daily. 
So  far  there  is  no  opposition.  There  is 
some  talk  of  an  auction  mart  uptown, 
near  the  wholesale  district,  also  a  ])liint 
market.  The  latter  is  one  of  the  "Lily 
King's"  ambitions  and  he  has  a  good 
place  for  the  venture,  at  1  AVest  Twen- 
ty-eighth strtvt. 

Anton  Schultheis  intends  tearing 
down  half  a  dozen  of  his  smaller  houses 
this  summer  and  building  three  fiiu', 
modern  ones  in  their  ])laces.  His  val- 
lev,  gardenias  and  bulbous  stock  are 
handled    by   Jos.   S.   Kenrich. 

(  harle:^  Fraser,  of  Tiiclimond  Hill,  has

(■(».  Mr.  Fraser  will  give  his  attention 
to  landscape  architecture  and  civil  en- 
gineering. 

David  I).  Howells  is  now  in  charge 
of  the  flower  and  ])lant  department  at 
the  Knickerbocker  hotel,  one  of  the 
finest  hostelries  in  the  world.  A  splen- 
did roof-garden  is  to  be  added  this 
spring  and  Hiram  T.  Jones,  of  Kliza- 
betii,  has  been  fortunate  in  securing 
the  contract   for  its  construction. 

S.  Masur,  Brooklyn,  will  remove  on 
Alay  1  to  larger  quarters,  next  door  to 
his  present  store,  aiul  will  fit  it  up  to 
compare  with  any  of  the  flower  stores 
of  the  City  of  Churches.  Mr.  Masur 
last  week  had  some  very  handsome  de- 
signs for  the  Trowbridge  funeral,  ag- 
gregating close   to    four   figures. 

Jt  is  reported  that  one  of  the  largo 
wholesale  c^t  flower  houses  of  Brook- 
lyn has  decided  to  eliminate  that  de- 
])artment  altogether  and  devote  its  en- 
tire space  and  energies  to  the  florists' 
su])ply  business,  for  which  Brooklyn 
and  Ijong  Island  provide  an  unlimited 
and   rapidly  increasing  field. 

W.  H.  Kuebler  finds  his  big  store 
already  limited  in  room  for  his  growing 
business,  which  he  says  has  nu)re  than 
doubled  since  Easter,  1906.  Brooklyn 
is  loyal  to  its  own. 

St.  l^atrick's  day  was  celebrated  by 
many  of  the  florists  with  artistically 
decorated  windows  in  green,  with  rib- 
bons, flags  and  harps  much  in  evidence. 
J.  J.  Foley,  on  the  Bowery,  especially 
threw  hims(df.  Mr.  Foley  is  a  native 
son  of  the  Kmerald  Isle  and  1863  is  the 
year  of  his  birth.  He  is  a  graduate  of 
Alex  MeConnell's.  His  business  is  an 
extensive  one  and  he  has  ambitions  to- 
wards the  swell  uptftwn  section.  Mr. 
l'\)ley  has  a  handsonu'  home  in  Madi- 
son, with  horses,  antes  and  all  the 
modern  accompaniments  of  i)ersistent 
devotion   to   duty. 

Ale.x  Mc( Onnell  will  enjoy  his  first 
Kaster  this  year  in  his  new  store,  in 
the  Arcade.  Two  vacant  stores  in  the 
sanu*  buihiing  will  give  him  all  needed 
room  and  he  has  every  reason  to  expect 
his  greatest  sales  vohnne. 

Win.  H.  Donohoe  has  added  an  extra 
store  for  Easter  to  his  conveniences,  on 
Twenty-iunth  street,  close  to  Broadway. 
His  ])rogress  has  been  continuous  dur- 
ing the  year  and  he  is  ready  for  the 
anticipated  im-rease  in  Kaster  orders 
in  the  city   and  out  of  it. 

For  extent  and  showiness  of  window 
decoration  and  extensive  conveniences 
no  firm  enjoys  greater  opportunities 
than  David  'ciarke's  Sous,  at  2139 
Broadway,  close  to  Seventy-second 
street.  This  firm  has  a  venerable  rec- 
ord. Kifty-eight  Kasters  have  come 
ami  gone  since  the  house  was  estab- 
lished. 

Jos.  Leikens  wears  the  sanu>  smile 
he  sported  a  year  ago,  only  a  little 
broader,  and  no  wonder,  when  his  Bel- 
mont hotel  and  Newport  branches  are 
considered  ami  the  nearness  of  his  de- 
)»arture  for  millionairedom  realized.. 
The  Newport  season  begins  with  him 
early  in  April. 

If  anything  on  Broadway  will  stop 
the  jiromenaders  and  take  away  gen- 
eral attention  from  the  Kaster  bonnets, 
it  will  be  A.  Warendorff's  windows. 
They  are  always  artistic,  novel,  en- 
trancing and  never  so  striking  as  at 
Kaster  time.  Mr.  Warendorff  has  been 
very  close  to  the  border  since  Kaster, 
190(5,  but  now  looks  good  for  another 
iialf  centurv.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


1359 


Young  &  Nugent 'a  windows,  on  West 
Twenty-eighth  street,  with  unique 
lighting  and  daily  changes  of  arrange- 
ment, are  always  a  credit  to  the  artist 
whose  ability  and  culinary  surprises 
stamp  him  as  an  expert  in  both  depart- 
ments of  public  service.  Mr.  Nugent 
had  a  big  decoration  at  Delmonico's 
on  Monday. 

Eobert  G.  Wilson  still  holds  the  fort 
as  the  bon  ton  florist  of  Brooklyn,  His 
Fulton  street  store  is  a  dream  in  white 
bark  decoration,  his  conservatory  an 
added  beauty  and  his  big  range  of  glass 
and  branch  store  on  Greene  avenue  an 
added  asset  of  permanent  value  since 
Easter,  1906. 

Thos.  Young,  Jr.,  still  maintains  his 
three  elegant  retail  stores,  on  Fifth 
and  Sixth  avenues  and  West  Twenty- 
eighth  street,  and  makes  a  success  of 
every  one  of  them.  No  man  can  be  in 
three  places  at  the  same  time,  but  Mr. 
Young  comes  as  near  accomplishing  it 
as  any  man  in  the  business. 

Myer,  on  Madison  avenue,  is  rapidly 
building  up  a  fine  clientele.  His  win- 
dows are  always  attractive.  The  year 
has  been  one  of  uniform  prosperity. 

Bonnot  &  Blake  have  had  a  busy  year 
in  their  new  store,  on  Livingston  street, 
Brooklyn,  so  much  so  they  are  already 
complaining  of  lack  of  room.  '  They 
have  many  Jersey  and  Long  Island 
growers  and  handle  splendid  stock  that 
appeals  to  the  best  of  the  Brooklyn  re- 
tail trade. 

Harry  Crawbuck  still  holds  the  stage 
as  the  only  green  goods  man  in  Brook- 
lyn. He  has  built  up  a  permanent  busi- 
ness. At  his  home,  in  Chatham,  he  is 
adding  a  nursery  to  his  enterprises.  He 
eays  Brooklyn  can  use  all  his  importa- 
tions of  galax  and  wild  smilax. 

Messrs.  Weir,  Phillips  and  Mallon 
still  stand  in  the  front  rank  of  their 
profession  in  the  City  of  Churches, 
where  several  hundred  florists  live  and 
prosper.  Probably  no  city  in  the  world 
can  total  as  large  a  number  of  retail 
florists  as  this  great  home  center,  this 
place  where  most  of  New  York  sleeps. 

Arthur  T.  Boddington  has  completed 
another  record  year.  Every  year  is 
getting  to  be  a  record  year  with  the 
"busy  bees."  H.  A.  Bunyard  is  back 
from  a  splendid  trip. 

F.  W.  O.  Sehmitz  is  another  importer 
whose  year  at  Prince  Bay,  on  Staten 
Island,  has  been  phenomenal.  He 
thinks  the  future  promises  a  hundred 
fold  greater  results  for  floriculture  and 
that  the  business  is  only  in  its  swad- 
dling clothes. 

The  Eose  Hill  Nurseries  are  rounding 
out,  at  New  Eochelle,  their  fortieth 
year,  H.  Siebrecht,  Sr.,  having  com- 
menced his  career  in  this  city  in  1867. 
To  look  at  him  you  would  declare  he 
hadn't  been  over  forty  years  on  earth, 
80  well  has  he  braved  the  vicissitudes  of 
all  these  eventful  times. 

Thorburn  &  Co.  are  now  perfectly  es- 
tablished in  their  headquarters  on  Bar- 
clay, the  street  of  bulb  importers  and 
center  of  the  industry  in  New  York. 
All  the  great  seed  houses  of  the 
metropolis  are  within  a  stone's  throw 
and  close  to  the  great  terminals  that 
will  make  this  section  the  busiest  spot 
ultimately  on  Manhattan  island  when 
the  tunnels  are  complete. 

Weeber  &  Don  are  only  a  block  away 
on  Chambers  street,  and  Rolker  &  Sons 
and  the  Yokohama  Nursery  Co.  are 
close  at  hand.  Uptown  Bridgeman's  and 
the  Bickards  Bros,  and  Arthur  Bodding- 
ton do  their  share  to  cater  to  the  people 


"higher  up,"  and  all  of  them  have  no 
cause  for  complaint. 

Bobbink  &  Atkins  have  had  a  phenom- 
enal sale  of  azaleas  for  Easter.  Their 
greenhouses  are  filled  with  lilies,  also, 
and  choice  palms  and  ferns,  and  they 
are  so  near  the  city  that  personal  selec- 
tion can  be  made  with  ease  and  visitors 
are  always   numerous. 

Victory,  grown  by  Chas.  Weber  at 
Lynbrook,  is  just  as  popular  and  in  as 
great  demand  as  ever,  Mr.  Weber  says, 
while  at  A.  J.  Guttman's  wholesale 
house  the  cut  blooms  command  the  high- 
est price  for  scarlets  and  give  the  same 
general  satisfaction  as  when  first  in- 
troduced. 

The  orchid  growers  and  importers, 
Julius   Roehrs    Co.,     Lager     &     Hurrell, 


As  we  shall  close  out  our  green 
goods  for  this  season  in  a  few  days, 
kindly  discontinue  our  advertisement 


in 


but  we  want  to  say  that  we  have 
been  repaid  for  all  that  we  have  in- 
vested in  advertising  in  the  Review. 

F.  W.  RICHARDS  &  CO. 
Banner  Elk,  N.  C. 
March  6, 1907. 


Carrillo  &  Baldwin  and  E.  Held,  are  all 
expecting  their  fresh  importations  in  all 
the  popular  varieties.  It  is  a  treat  to 
the  flower  lover  to  visit  these  great 
orchidists  and  enjoy  their  magnificent 
displays.  J.  Austin   Shaw. 


CINONNATL 


The  Market 


The  general  volume  of  business  last 
week  was  large  and  the  total  amount  of 
sales  footed  up  well,  but  when  one  con- 
sidered the  large  quantity  of  flowers 
handled  the  average  price  was  not  so 
good.  The  bright,  warm  weather  we 
have  been  having  is  making  itself  felt 
and  the  cuts  of  all  the  growers  who 
send  their  produce  to  this  city  have  in- 
creased a  great  deal.  The  prospect  of 
a  glut  on  both  roses  and  carnations  by 
the  middle  of  the  present  week  is  good 
and  prices  are  likely  to  reach  rock 
bottom. 

With  the  tide  of  blooms  coming  this 
week  it  would  seem  that  there  is  occa- 
sion to  feel  a  little  uneasy  as  to  what 
is  in  store  for  us  at  Easter.  A  number 
of  growers  have  already  reported  that 
there  will  be  a  scarcity  at  that  time,  and 
it  would  appear  from  the  present  indica- 
tions that  they  are  correct  in  their  sur- 
mise. It  is  a  great  pity  that  we  had 
to  get  in  this  great  cut  of  flowers  at 
this  time.  If  they  could  only  have  held 
off  for  just  two  weeks  more,  what  a 
great  feast  it  would  have  been.     With 


flowers  scarce  it  will  mean  higher  prices 
and  many  orders  filled  only  in  part. 
Even  lilies  will  be  scarce  and  the  price 
will  rule  higher  than  last  year.  Bulbous 
stock  should  be  plentiful  enough  to  take 
care  of  the  demand.  This  is  the  time 
of  all  times  for  the  bulbous  flowers  and 
they  will  never  be  in  better  demand 
than  this  year.  Orders  for  Easter  de- 
livery are  coming  in  fast. 

Storm  and  Flood. 

Wednesday  evening,  March  13,  this 
city  was  visited  by  one  of  the  heaviest 
storms  in  its  history.  The  rain  fell  in 
torrents  and  was  followed  by  a  severe 
hail  storm.  The  rain  has  caused  another 
flood  in  the  Ohio  river  and  the  water 
reached  a  height  of  almost  sixty-two 
feet.  The  hail  was  heaviest  on  College 
hill,  where  there  are  several  florists' 
establishments,  and  a  great  deal  of 
glass  was  broken.  Among  those  who 
have  reported  losses  are  the  following: 
Walter  Gray,  Harry  Corbett,  George 
Corbett,  Max  Rudolph  and  Geo.  Magrie, 
the  latter 's  houses  being  vacant  and  for 
rent  at  the  time.  The  loss  to  each  was 
about  the  same,  being  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  fourteen  boxes  of  glass  each. 
As  the  weather  was  warm,  little  damage 
was  done  to  the  stock. 

During  the  heavy  rain  the  drain-pipes 
in  the  boiler-pits  of  the  Hyde  Park 
establishment  of  George  &  Allan  failed 
to  carry  off  the  water  and  the  pits 
filled  up  to  the  depth  of  about  four 
feet.  The  warm  weather  alone  saved 
them   from   a  severe  loss. 

Mr.  Witterstaetter's  Place. 

A  recent  visit  to  Richard  Witter- 
staetter's  carnation  breeding  establish- 
ment proved  to  be  one  of  great  interest. 
Stock  was  in  first-class  shape,  blooming 
freely,  and  the  quality  up  to  the 
usual  standard.  The  older  favorites 
were  there  in  good  shape  and  among  the 
new  sorts  Aristocrat  was  fine.  After- 
glow, which  Mr.  Witterstaetter  intends 
to  put  upon  the  market  shortly,  I  be- 
lieve will  prove  to  be  the  best  he  ever 
has  disseminated. 

Among  the  seedlings  are  many  that 
show  great  promise.         C.  J.  Ohmeb. 


VASMNGTON. 


The  latter  half  of  the  Lenten  season 
has  not  stimulated  trade.  As  a  result 
of  the  warm  weather,  flowers  are  still 
overabundant  and  will  remain  so  until 
Easter  sales  lessen  substantially  the 
supply  on  hand.  The  warm,  bright  days 
are  forcing  azaleas,  etc.,  rather  too  fast. 

Saint  Patrick's  day  was  a  marvel  of 
its  class  and  brought  sale  for  some  of 
the  minor  novelties,  chiefly  green  carna- 
tions and  shamrocks. 

Some  of  the  retailers  are  going  to 
Philadelphia  this  week  to  select  Easter 
stock  and  indications  so  far  would  seem 
in  favor  of  that  season  being  satis- 
factory to   florists  here.  J.  L.  C. 


Easton,  Pa. — Arthur  L.  Raub  &  Co. 
will  move  their  store  from  17  South 
Fourth  street  to  a  building  opposite,  now 
occupied  by  the  Easton  Furniture  Co. 

Kansas  City,  Mo. — J.  Papadakos,  who 
has  a  little  shop  on  Walnut  street,  al- 
though notified  five  times,  persistently 
refused  to  vacate  the  premises.  Now, 
the  construction  company,  which  has  the 
contract  to  build  a  block  on  the  site,  has 
built  a  high  board  fence  around  the  shop, 
completely  isolating  the  Greek.

Kentias  are  scarce,  and  that  the  short- 
iage  is  likely  to  continue  is  shown  by  the 
fact  that  those  who  would  like  to  plant 
seeds  find  it  impossible  to  procure  them 
in  any  quantity. 


NATIONAL  FLOWER  SHOW. 


Autumn  Exhibition  Not  Postponed. 

P.  J.  Hauswirth,  secretary  of  the  So- 
ciety of  American  Florists,  states  that 
the  action  reputed  to  the  e'xecutive 
committee  in  last  week's  Eeview  was 
not  correct.  He  states  that  matters 
concerning  the  proposed  national  flower 
show  at  Chicago  in  the  autumn  of  1908 
stand  just  where  they  have  stood  since 
the  last  meeting  of  the  executive  com- 
mittee at  Chicago  last  November.  The 
matter  is  entirely  in  the  hands  of  ex- 
President  W.  F.  Kasting  and  the  com- 
mittee of  fifty.  Secretary  Hauswirth 
states  that  since  the  Philadelphia  meet- 
ing a  week  ago  Mr.  Kasting  has  been 
steadily  adding  to  his  guarantee  fund 
until  it  now  exceeds  $9,000. 


Eesults  bring  advertising. 
The  Eeview  brings  results. 

The  spring  demand  for  Boston  ferns 
will  develop  a  pronounced  shortage  of 
good  plants. 

A  FULL  report  of  the  rose  show  at 
Washington  was  published  in  last  week's 
Review. 

The  retailers  like  their  Asparagus  plu- 
mosus,  especially  the  bunched  sprays,  to 
be  light  green  instead  of  dark. 

No  florist,  even  if  he  be  a  grower 
with  no  business  relations  with  the  pub- 
lic, should  be  without  a  printed  letter- 
head. 

The  weight  of  the  white  paper  used 
in  printing  this  edition  of  the  Eeview 
Avas  7,460  pounds,  or  only  slightly  less 
than  four  tons. 

See  that  wholesale  lists  go  only  to 
those  entitled  to  them;  it  is  an  injustice 
to  those  in  the  trade  to  fill  orders  for 
outsiders  at  other  than  retail  prices. 

John  S.  Schleider,  Owosso,  Mich., 
has  a  seedling  carnation,  pinK  in  color 
and  of  good  form,  which  for  size  out- 
classes every  variety  now  grown  com- 
mercially. 

The  date  of  Easter,  1908,  is  April  19. 
It  does  not  come  on  so  late  a  date 
again  until  1916,  when  it  falls  on  April 
23.  In  1910  Easter  falls  on  March  27, 
and  in  1913  on  March  23. 

The  selection  of  Benjamin  Hammond 
as  secretary  of  the  American  Eose  So- 
ciety a  year  ago  was  a  most  happy  one. 
His  work  has  been  such  that  his  re- 
election at  Washington  was  a  foregone 
conclusion. 

John  G.  Esler  reports  that  the  first 
hail  losses  of  the  season  were  reported 
from  College  Hill,  Ohio,  and  Shelby- 
ville,  Ind.  George  Corbett,  Henry  Cor- 
bett,  Joseph  Linfoot  and  Walter  J.  Gray 
are  the  sufferers  at  College  Hill,  and 
Mrs.  E.  H.  Martin  at  Shelbyville. 

William  Feniger,  manager  of  the 
Youngstown  Floral  Co.,  is  quoted  in  Ohio 
papers  as  stating  that  "The  green  car- 
nation was  first  grown  about  five  years 
ago.  Luther  Burbank,  the  wizard  of  hor- 
ticulture, raised  the  first  green  carnation 
on  his  ranch  at  Santa  Eosa,  Cal.  Since 
then  others  have  tried  to  grow  green 
carnations,  with  varying  success."  Poor 
Mr.  Burbank !  ' '  Some  men  are  born  great, 
some  achieve  greatness,  while  others  have 
greatness  thrust  upon  them." 


CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market. 

Business  has  been  good  in  the  last 
seven  days,  in  the  sense  that  a  large 
quantity  of  stock  has  been  handled. 
Warm,  bright  weather  has  done  much 
to  increase  the  crops  and  the  supplies 
in  all  lines  have  been  the  heaviest 
so  far  this  season.  White  has  had  the 
call.  Prices  on  everything  but  white 
roses  and  white  carnations  have  had  to 
be  shaded  heavily  to  affect  any  sort  of 
a  clearing.  Shipping  trade  has  been  ex- 
cellent, many  large  orders  going  out. 
Local  trade  also  was  good  last  week  but 
this  week  the  principal  local  buying  is 
by  the  cheap-sales  people. 

The  Bride  has  led  the  rose  market. 
Maid  has  been  accumulating  in  a  way 
that  has  afforded  wholesalers  some  con- 
cern. Eichmond  sells  fairly  well,  but 
of  course  the  quantity  on  the  market  is 
small  compared  with  the  quantities  of 
Maid  and  Bride.  The  promised  increase 
in  the  supply  of  American  Beauty  is 
only  just  beginning  to  materialize.  Kil- 
larney  is  abundant  and  not  making  the 
average  prices  it  did  a  short  time  ago. 
It  must  be  cut  right  and  sold  right  to 
retain  its  value.  It  opens  quickly  and 
then  is  not  wanted.  Other  roses  are 
grown  in  such  small  numbers  that  the 
cut  does  not  figure  in  the  market. 

Were  it  not  for  the  near  approach  of 
Easter  the  carnation  market  would  be 
in  a  bad  way.  Last  week  white  was  in 
special  demand,  but  other  sorts  were 
abundant  and  dragging.  This  week, 
while  white  still  sells  best,  it  has  retro- 
graded to  a  normal  position  and  all  col- 
ors are  plentiful.  Enchantress  has  no 
special  value  because  of  its  abundance. 
Were  it  not  for  the  thousand-lot  orders 
it  would  be  impossible  to  clear  the  mar- 
ket at  any  time.  Nothing  more  could 
be  asked  as  to  quality. 

There ,  are  plenty  of  violets  but  not 
nearly  so  many  as  in  recent  weeks,  and 
growers  evidently  are  holding  for  Eas- 
ter. It  does  not  speak  for  superlative 
quality  at  that  time. 

Bulbous  stock  of  all  kinds  is  abun- 
dant. The  supply  of  Easter  lilies  has 
multiplied  many  fold  within  a  week. 
Those  handled  now  are  the  ones  the 
growers  have  forced  out  too  early  for 
Easter.  They  are  not  bringing  special 
prices.  Callas,  too,  are  in  oversupply 
and  mora  or  less  are  wasted.  Tulips 
are  not  especially  abundant,  but  equal 
to  all  requirements.  Daffodils  and  jon- 
quils are  accumulating  at  all  the  whole- 
sale houses  and  the  growers  are  doing 
nothing  to  bring  on  more  stock,  for  the 
market  cannot  be  cleared  at  anything 
like  a  price  which  will  pay  the  growers. 

Such  special  items  as  sweet  peas  and 
mignonette  are  equal  to  all  requirements. 
Some  fancy  mignonette  is  bringing  as 
much  as  $1.25  a  dozen.  A  few  pansies 
are  seen. 

There  is  the  usual  demand  for  green 
goods.  All  requirements  can  be  supplied 
if  made  known  the  day  before.  Some- 
times the  market  is  bare  of  an  after- 
noon. 

Winterson's  Plans. 

It  has  for  some  time  been  known  in 
the  market  that  the  E.  F.  Winterson  Co. 
has  leased  the  tliree  stores  on  the  street 
floor,  immediately  above  its  establish- 
ment. Mr.  Winterson  now  authorizes 
the  following  statement  of  his  plans: 

*'The  E.  F.  Winterson  Co.  has  taken 
a  long  term  lease  on  the  stores  at  45,

Bassett  &  Washburn

76  Wabash  Ave., 


CHICAGO 


Mention  The  Review  when  you  write. 


47  and  49  Wabash  avenue,  directly 
above  its  present  quarters  and  where  it 
has  been  located  for  a  number  of  years. 
It  is  the  intention  of  the  firm  to  use 
the  newly  obtained  space  partly  as  a 
florists'  supply  store  and  also  for  the 
sale  of  seeds,  plants,  bulbs,  etc.,  in  a  re- 
tail way.  The  store  is  probably  the  fin- 
est on  the  Chicago  market  and  when  oc- 
cupied will  give  the  Winterson  Co.  the 
largest  floor  space  of  any  like  concern 
on  the  street.  The  moving  out  of  the 
supply  business  and  oflSce  from  the  base- 
ment will  give  the  wholesale  cut  flower 
department  much  needed  added  space. 
The  entire  basement  being  retained,  the 
store  proper  will  be  conducted  under  the 
name  of  Winterson 's  Seed  Store,  E.  F. 
Winterson  Co.,  proprietor.  The  present 
tenants  will  give  possession  to  the  Win- 
terson Co.  March  25,  one  week  before 
Easter.  No  change  will  be  made  in  the 
financial  affairs  or  management  of  the 
company. ' ' 

St.  Patrick's. 

St.  Patrick  not  only  is  the  patron 
saint  of  Ireland,  but  this  season  be- 
came the  patron  saint  of  the  white  car- 
nation market.  As  early  as  March  13 
the  price  of  white  carnations  began  to 
stiffen  and  it  is  a  conservative  state- 
ment that  in  the  four  days  preceding 
March  17  the  market  value  of  all  white 
carnations  was  increased  one-third  by 
the  call  for  stock  which  would  take  the 
green  dye.  The  price  advanced  to  $3 
to  $4  for  all  varieties  and  $5  per  hun- 
dred for  special  fancies.  The  demand 
for  the  coloring  liquid  proved  far  be- 
yond expectations  and  it  was  hard  to 
find  Friday  afternoon. 

That  the  growers  and  wholesalers 
profited  does  not  signify  that  the  retail- 
ers got  much  more  than  an  advertise- 
ment for  their  share.  Quite  a  number 
say  the  green  fiowers  did  not  sell  to  the 
public  as  they  had  expected,  although 
thousands  of  people  stopped  to  look  at 
them  as  shown  in  the  windows.  Never- 
theless, large  numbers  were  used  one 
way  or  another. 

Qub  Meeting. 

The  club  meeting  March  14  was  not 
BO  largely  attended  as  the  February 
meeting  but  proved  to  be  one  of  the 
most    interesting    of    the     year.      The 


speaker  of  the  evening  failing  to  ap- 
pear. President  Bruns  demonstrated  his 
special  fitness  for  the  chair  by  drawing 
out  a  discussion  that  beat  anything  the 
club  has  listened  to  for  a  long  time. 

Andrew  McAdams  said  that  he  found 
disease  in  this  year's  lilies  about  as 
usual  but  that  the  extra  forcing  he  had 
used  to  get  his  in  had  caused  many  to 
come  blind,  or  with  fewer  flowers  per 
bulb  than  usual.  He  said  he  had  visited 
Sam  Pearce's,  Wittbold's  and  Frank 
Oechslin's  and  found  the  same  state  of 
affairs,  also  as  much  as  thirty  to  forty 
per  cent  of  disease  in  some  lots. 

P.  C.  Schupp  said  his  observations 
verified  Mr.  McAdams'  report  of  less 
flowers  than  usual;  the  range  is  two  to 
four  this  year  instead  of  three  to  six. 

E.  C.  Amling  said  he  thought  his 
growers  must  have  been  especially  for- 
tunate in  their  bulbs,  for  they  have 
much  less  disease  than  usual  and  for 
each  1,000  bulbs  bought  will  market 
more  flowers  than  last  year.  Asked 
about  prices,  he  said  that  around  Chi- 
cago lilies  will  be  ready  in  time  and  in 
as  large  supply  as  ever  but  that  through 
the  country  it  is  different,  so  that  prices 
on  good  stock,  now  $15  per  hundred, 
may  go  higher  on  later  orders.  He  said 
that  if  one  would  be  satisfied  with  lilies 
on  stems  eight  to  fifteen  inches  long, 
they  can  be  had  at  from  $6  to  $12.  E. 
F.  Winterson  confirmed  this  and  said 
there  will  be  lots  of  short  lilies  but 
thinks  they  will  sell  after  the  first-class 
stock  is  all  booked. 

The  opinion  was  that  roses  will  be  in 
good  supply  but  carnations  rather  off 
crop.  J.  F.  Klimmer  said  he  had  ob- 
served that  the  heaviest  crop  of  the 
year  always  comes  between  April  15  and 
AprU  25,  and  predicted  it  will  be  so 
this  year.  But  the  Easter  carnations 
will  be  fine. 

The  retailers  said  they  look  for  an 
especially  heavy  sale  on  plants  this  year. 
Mr.  Amling  asked  if  it  is  not  a  fact 
that  pleasant  weather  the  days  before 
any  holiday  tends  to  help  the  sale  of 
plants,  while  bad  weather  helps  cut  flow- 
ers. Mr.  McAdams  said  he  couldn't 
support  that,  but  had  found  cold  weather 
does  not  hurt  his  telephone  trade,  but 
helps  it,  and  he  at  all  times  gets  two- 
thirds  of  his  business  over  the  'phone. 


John  Degnan  brought  up  the  subject 
of  the  green  carnation  and  it  was  well 
spoken  of  by  all  as  a  profit  maker  for 
the  trade. 

J.  T.  Helbok,  A.  C.  Benson,  Van  Zim- 
merman and  T.  E.  Waters  were  elected 
to  membership. 

The  club  members  were  all  invited  to 
attend  the  informal  dance  of  the  em- 
ployees of  C.  A.  Samuelson  at  the  Unity 
Club  April  6. 

Watch  the  Temperature. 

The  up-to-date  theory  of  growing  is 
to  give  all  the  air  possible,  all  the  time, 
but  maintaining  the  proper  growing 
temperature.  It  takes  a  little  more  coal, 
but  the   expenditure  pays  good  returns. 

Following  this  policy,  at  the  plant  of 
the  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.  there  are  four 
good  growers  who  are  called  "tempera- 
ture men.  * '  All  they  have  to  do  at  night 
is  to  walk  from  house  to  house  compar- 
ing the  readings  of  the  thermometers 
with  the  temperatures  posted  beside 
them  for  their  guidance.  There  are  few 
nights  when  they  do  not  keep  at  least  a 
crack  of  air  on. 

Various  Notck 

The  wholesalers  say  orders  for  lilies 
for  Easter  are  heavy  for  this  early  date 
but  that  buyers  seem  to  have  little  anx- 
iety as  to  anything  else.  The  present 
warm  weather  is  not  liked.  It  is  feared 
it  will  rush  stock  in  and  cut  down  sup- 
plies at  Easter. 

H.  F.  Halle  has  completed  arrange- 
ments for  opening  a  store  on  the  north 
side  May  1,  at  the  northeast  corner  of 
Sheridan  drive  and  Clarendon  avenue. 
This  is  directly  opposite  the  Albert 
Fuchs  store  that  Mr.  Halle  would  have 
taken  had  not  the  terms  of  Henry 
Koropp's  lease  prevented  Mr.  Fuchs 
from  letting  for  flower  store  purposes. 
Mr.  Halle  will  continue  his  west  side 
store  as  heretofore. 

0.  L.  Washburn  says  that  Bassett  & 
Washburn  will  have  many  more  lilies 
than  they  had  expected  to  be  ready  for 
Easter.  He  says  that  the  lilies  have 
come  along  very  fast  in  the  last  few 
days.  They  have  some  short  ones,  like 
all  growers,  and  are  selling  these  in 
pots.

run  of  orders  for  large  designs  last 
week.  Nearly  every  day  brought  its  or- 
der for  something  out  of  the  ordinary. 
One  day  he  made  a  horseshoe  standing 
six  feet  high  of  Eichmond  roses,  for  the 
opening  of  Streeter's  new  shoe  store. 
It  was  sent  as  a  good  luck  emblem  by 
a  wholesale  shoe  house.  Another  day 
he  made  a  cross  seven  feet  high  and 
the  next  day  a  star  six  feet  across. 
Friday  he  had  an  order  for  a  double 
spray  six  feet  long  of  the  best  white 
roses,  the  two  sprays  being  joined  with 
a  tie  of  violets,  imitating  a  big  bow, 
and  used  as  a  casket  cover. 

J.  F.  Kidwell  &  Bro.  report  that  a 
large  proportion  of  their  lilies  will  miss 
Easter. 

J.  E.  Jensen  carries  his  left  hand  in  a 
bandage.  He  says  a  dog  mistook  it  for 
a  beefsteak. 

The  west  park  commissioners  have 
awarded  the  contract  for  the  new  con- 
servatory at  Garfield  park  to  (J.  E.  Car- 
son &  Co.,  a  firm  of  general  contractors 
with  oflSces  at  109  La  Salle  street.  Lord 
&  Burnham  Co.  and  Hitchings  &  Co. 
were  the  only  horticultural  builders  to 
put  in  bids;  there  were  a  number  from 
local    general    contractors. 

N.  J.  Wietor,  who  has  been  at  Colum- 
bus, Dayton,  Springfield  and  Cleveland 
^for  a  week  or  more,  reports  that  every- 
one he  met  was  prosperous  and  looking 
forward  to  the  biggest  Easter  on  record. 
Wietor 's  Beauty  crop  is  large. 

Leonard  Kill  says  Alderman  Peter 
Beinberg  is  taking  more  interest  in  the 
Easter  crops  than  he  has  at  any  time 
since  Carter  Harrison  inveigled  him  into 
politics.  The  resison  is  that  Mayor 
Dunne,     who     seeks     reelection,     made 


speeches  for  Mr.  Reinberg's  opponent 
when  Mr.  Eeinberg  was  himself  a  can- 
didate for  reelection  a  year  ago.  Be- 
ing too  good  a  democrat  to  work  for 
Busse,  Mr.  Eeinberg  has  time  to  take 
note  that  business  is  good  at  the  store 
and  rose  crops  heavy. 

Philip  J.  Foley  has  been  elected  presi- 
dent of  the  Millmen's  Association,  a 
trade  organization  of  the  firms  engaged 
in   turning  out  mill  work. 

L.  Coatsworth  is  busy  these  days 
studying  the  catalogues  of  the  motor- 
boat  makers.  He  says  an  automobile  is 
all  right  for  some  people,  but  he  pre- 
fers to  do  his  speeding  where  the  tele- 
graph poles  are  not  so  thick. 

E.  E.  Pieser,  of  Kennicott  Bros.  Co., 
says  he  thinks  all  stock  will  be  plenti- 
ful for  Easter  with  the  possible  excep- 
tion of  carnations. 

John  Ebert  will  plant  all  his  place 
in  mums  for  fall  and  is  busy  propagat- 
ing for  an  early  start. 

E.  T.  Wanzer,  at  Wheaton,  sends  the 
A.  L.  Eandall  Co.  some  fine  carnations. 
He  has  had  exceptionally  good  results 
with  Victory  and  will  plant  more  of  it 
next  season.  He  says  it  looks  to  him 
as  though  Enchantress  might  be  consid- 
erably overdone  next  year  and  he  thinks 
of  cutting  down  on  it. 

Mr.  and  .  Mrs.  Fred  Weber  lost  their 
baby  March  17.  The  child  was  three 
months  old. 

Will  Kyle,  of  the  Deamud  Co.,  was 
at  home  all  last  week,  ill  with  the  grip, 
and  has  not  yet  got  the  ache  fully  out 
of  his  bones. 

Joseph  Foerster,  of  George  Eein- 
burg's,  says  that  he  has  no  fault  to  find 
with  business  during  Lent.     It  has  held 


up  better  than  usual,  and  their  heavy 
crop  is  just  coming  on. 

The  George  Wittbold  Co.  will  not 
have  as  many  lilies  this  Easter  as  last, 
but  will  have  no  trouble  getting  most 
of  them  in;  in  fact,  one  lot  is  so  far 
advanced  that  they  are  holding  back 
strong.  They  will  have  a  splendid  lot 
of   Eambler   roses. 

Philip  Schupp,  at  J.  A.  Budlong's, 
says  he  thinks  they  may  count  them- 
selves fortunate  in  the  timing  of  their 
crops  all  season.  He  says  their  heaviest 
cut  will  be  over  before  the  anticipated 
glut  follawing  Easter. 

E.  H.  Hunt  has  a  fine  lot  of  lilies 
coming  daily  from  "Big  Pete"  Sroczy- 
riski,  who  is  said  to  have  20,000  gera- 
niums and  much  other  spring  stock 
ready  to  move  up  into  the  space  the 
day  after  Easter. 

The  city  has  not  yet  come  to  a  set- 
tlement with  the  Eogers  Park  Water 
Co.,  but  is  operating  the  plant  and  the 
growers  on  "the  ridge"  are  getting 
better  service  and  cheaper  rates. 

C.  W.  McKellar  includes  valley  in 
the  list  of  stock  which  is  not  selling  as 
well  as  it  should.  He  says  orchids  will, 
be  abundant  for  Easter  and  the  wed- 
dings which  will  follow. 

As  usual,  Vaughan  &  Sperry  will 
have  quite  a  few  Easter  plants  to  dis- 
pose of  for  their  grower  at  Grand  Eap- 
ids. 

Arnold  Schaflfhauser,  formerly  with 
Wietor  Bros,  and  later  foreman  for 
Adam  Zender,  is  taking  a  vacation  be- 
fore taking  hold  of  a  new  job.

Zech  &  Mann  report  a  steady  and  gen- 
erally satisfactory  sale  for  boxwood 
sprays. 

John  Thorpe  says  Ficus  pandurata 
promises  to  become  one  of  the  most 
popular  plants  for  the  dwelling-room. 

P.  J.  Hauswirth  returned  Wednesday 
from  his  trip  to  Philadelphia,  "Wash- 
ington and  New  York.  He  says  he  was 
traveling  practically  incognito,  for  he 
shaved  off  his  moustache  a  few  days  be- 
fore starting  east.  Ed.  Hauswirth,  who 
accompanied  his  father,  preceded  him 
one  day  on  the  return. 

There  have  been  a  number  of  visitors 
in  town  in  the  last  week.  Among  them 
were  P.  J.  Kersten,  Devils  Lake,  N.  D., 
seeking  material  for  a  new  greenhouse; 
Theodore  "Wirth,  guest  of  Alois  Frey,  on 
his  way  home  to  Minneapolis  from 
Philadelphia  and  Washington;  B.  Esch- 
^ner,  seeking  orders  for  M.  Rice  &  Co.,

of  Probst  &  Christianson,  the  horticul- 
tural builders  at  De  Kalb ;  D.  B.  Hazen, 
Batavia,  recently  returned  from  a  win- 
ter in  Florida. 


INDIANAPOLIS. 


Charlotte,  N.  C.  —  Scholtz  reports 
business  not  at  all  affected  by  Lent. 
They  are  erecting  three  greenhouses  of 
King  construction. 

Salem,  0. — The  contract  has  been  let 
for  a  house  and  a  residence  for  William 
Mundy.  Work  will  be  started  in  early 
spring. 

Shillington,  Pa. — ^L.  M.  Deeds  is 
building  an  addition  to  his  greenhouses. 
It  will  be  28x70  feet  and  will  be  used 
for  carnations. 


Current  Gmiment. 

Business  during  the  last  week  has  been 
good,  everything  being  cleaned  up.  A 
rushing  business  was  done  in  green  car- 
nations, not  only  the  Irish  but  everyone 
buying.  It's  not  so  bad  a  trade  as  some 
writers  would  have  us  think;  it  helps 
pay  the  rent. 

All  the  retailers  are  in  good  shape  for 
Easter  and  are  looking  forward  to  a 
record  trade. 

Bertermann  Bros,  expect  to  add  to 
their  Cumberland  range  this  summer. 
John  Bertermann  says  it  doesn't  pay  to 
have  boilers  sitting  round  doing  nothing. 

The  chances  for  Easter  lilies  are  ex- 
cellent. Most  of  the  growers  will  get 
theirs  in  just  right ;  and  there  will  be 
plenty  of  spiraeas,  with  bulb  stuff  of  all 
kinds  in  abundance.  S. 


ST.  LOUIS. 


The  Market. 


The  expected  glut  has  not  yet  made 
its  appearance  at  the  wholesale  houses, 
although  there  is  plenty  of  stock  in  all 
lines.  The  retailers  are  buying  heavily 
these  days,  which  goes  to  show  that  Lent 
has  not  been  noticeable  with  them. 
There  have  been  a  number  of  large  wed- 
dings this  month,  plenty  of  funeral 
work  and  many  dinner  parties.  The 
good  demand  for  cut  flowers  in  the 
downtown  district  also  is  noticeable. 

Boses  are  fine  and  should  continue  so 
right  up  to  Easter.  J.  F.  Ammann's 
and  F.  C.  Weber's  stock  is  fine.  Mon- 
day morning  some  extra  Ivory,  Rich- 
mond, Killarney,  Bride  and  Maid  were 
seen    from    these    places.      Extra    long 


Beauties  are  somewhat  scarce;  shorts, 
plentiful. 

Violets  are  not  abundant.  Bulb  stock 
is  coming  in  fine.  This  will  be  most  plen- 
tiful for  Easter.  Carnations  are  plenti- 
ful, but  they  seem  to  clean  up  almost 
every  day.  Stock  is  of  the  best  and  all 
varieties  are  selling  well. 

Wild  smilax  is  having  a  good  call,  so 
are  all  other  greens. 

Qub  Meeting. 

The  Florists'  Club  meeting,  which 
was  held  March  14  in  the  Burlington 
building,  was  not  well  attended,  as  most 
of  the  local  growers  are  busy  at  home 
looking  after  their  Easter  stock.  Presi- 
dent Irish  opened  the  meeting  at  2 
o'clock,  with  the  majority  of  the  offi- 
cers present.  After  routine  work,  the 
flower  show  committee  was  discharged 
with  thanks  for  its  good  work  in  trying 
to  raise  the  big  guarantee  fund  in  the 
face  of  the  great  opposition  placed  in 
its  way.  President  Irish  reported  tnat 
the  Engelman  Botanical  Club  is  soon 
to  hold  its  spring  exhibition  of  wild 
flowers.  The  club  at  once  voted  to  loan 
them  its  vases  and  tables,  which  it  has 
in  storage.  The  club  will  no  doubt  at- 
tend this  show  in  a  body. 

The  club  decided  to  hold  its  annual 
rose  show  during  the  April  meeting  and 
voted  $50  in  prizes.  The  trustees  wiU 
have  full  charge.  The  prizes  are  to  bo 
competed  for  by  local  growers  only. 
Growers  of  new  roses  will  be  appealed 
to  to  send  their  new  varieties  for  ex- 
hibition. 

The  trustees  were  instructed  to  ar- 
range some  suitable  entertainment  for 
the  club's  twentieth  anniversary,  June 
28.  The  sum  of  $100  was  set  aside  for 
the  expenses.   Theo.  G.  Brown,  a  grower,

made  application  for  membership.  The 
treasurer's  report  showed  a  healthy  bal- 
ance on  hand. 

There  was  a  good  discussion  on  stock 
for  Easter,  which  made  the  meeting  in- 
teresting. The  next  meeting  will  take 
place  April  11,  at  2  P.  M. 

Various  Notes. 

Fred  Ammann,  of  Edwardsville ; 
Henry  Johann,  of  Collinsville ;  E.  W.  Guy 


and  A.  S.  Halstead,  of  Belleville,  spent 
a  day  in  the  city  last  week.  They  re- 
port everything  fine  in  the  florists'  line 
at  their  places  and  are  looking  for  a 
large  cut  of  stock  for  this  market  for 
Easter. 

George  Windier  says  that  in  the  first 
two  classes  of  the  late  flower  show  the 
report  should  have  read  E.  J.  &  G.  B. 
Windier  in  the  prizes  they  won. 

Walter    Sanders,    who    has   charge    of 


his  father's  retail  place,  reports  trade 
good.  They  had  the  big  spring  opening 
decoration  at  the  Grand  Leader  last 
week  and  two   large  weddings. 

Miss  M.  S.  Newmann  is  making  an 
extra  fine  show  of  blooming  stock  in 
her  big   show   windows  this  week. 

Martin  Moran,  who  is  again  with  Mrs. 
M.  M.  Ayers,  reports  that  trade  in  all 
lines  has  been  good  of  late.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising  Eastern  Market. 

Business  conditions  show  a  decided 
improvement,  the  demand  for  ajl  kinds 
of  flowers  being  heavier  than  for  some 
weeks  past.  The  wholesalers  agree  that 
Lent  has  been  dull,  but  now  business  is 
quite  up  to  their  expectations.  The 
feature  of  the  market  is  the  increase  in 
American  Beauty  roses,  which  are  now 
coming  to  town  in  fine  form  from  nearly 
all  the  growers.  Prices  are  falling,  with 
indications  that  they  will  go  still  lower 
at  Easter. 

Carnations  have  been  selling  well,  espe- 
cially white;  the  poorer  grades  have 
been  bringing  better  returns  than  for 
some  time  past.  This  is  due  partly  to 
funeral  work  and  partly  to  St.  Patrick's 
day,  for  which  many  flowers  were  dyed, 
probably  more  than  usual.  Most  of  the 
dye,  by  the  way,  comes  from  the  west. 
Sweet  peas  are  fine,  bringing  widely 
ranging  prices,  the  higher  grade  being 
much  easier  to  sell  at  top  figures  than 
are  the  ordinary  flowers  at  low  figures. 
Valley  has  been  too  plentiful  and  in 
poor  demand.  Orchids  are  in  moderate 
supply,  Ccelogyne  cristata  having  re- 
enforced  cattleyas  and  dendrobiums. 

Easter  lilies  are  gradually  becoming 
more  plentiful,  while  callas  are  received 
in  great  quantities.  Southern  daffodils 
have  made  their  appearance,  but  do  not 
appear  to  affect  the  price- of  home-grown 
stock  especially.  Greens  continue  in 
wonderfully  active  demand. 

Easter  Prosp^ts. 

The  indications  for  the  Easter  cut 
flower  market  are  that  American  Beauty 
roses  will  be  suflSciently  plentiful  to 
meet  the  demand  at  reasonable  prices. 
Clpvor  judges  say  that  $6  a  dozen  will

be  about  the  figure  for  the  fancy  stock. 
There  is  no  probability  of  many  flowers 
that  will  grade  between  these  and  the 
shorts.  Cut  lilies  promise  to  be  rather 
scarce,  so  far  as  the  higher  grades  are 
concerned.  Indications  point  to  $15  a 
hundred  as  the  market  price  for  good 
stock.  Tea  roses  will  be  fine,  with  the 
probability  of  a  slight  increase  in  price. 
Kaiserins  will  be  in  strong  supply.  There 
will  be  a  good  stock  of  carnations,  and 
on  this  flower  the  price  is  likely  to  ad- 
vance fifty  per  cent.  Violets,  double, 
will  be  in.  good  supply ;  $1  to  $1.25  will 
be  about  the  price  for  choice  stock. 
There  will  be  a  fair  lot  of  single  violets 
should  the  weather  continue  favorable. 
Cattleyas  will  be  in  fair  supply;  quality 
very  fine.  It  is  probable  that  greens  will 
be  rather  scarce. 

The  Executive  Committee. 

The   executive   committee  of   the   So- 
ciety of  American   Florists  met  in  this 


city,  as  stated  in  this  column  last  week. 
They  selected  Horticultural  hall  as  the 
place  for  the  trade  exhibit  at  the  so- 
ciety's meeting  in  August.  Broad  street 
theater,  which  is  directly  opposite  the 
hall,  was  chosen  for  the  meetings,  while 
the  Hotel  Walton,  adjoining  the  theater, 
offers  accommodations  for  the  delegates. 
David  Rust  has  been  selected  superin- 
tendent of  the  exhibition.

Prize  Winning  Beauties 


Mr.  George  Burton  won  the  Lord  &  Burnham  Cup  at  the  National 
Rose  Show  in  Washington  last  week.  This  cup  was  offered  for  fifty- 
American  Beauties.  There  was  no  competition,  Mr.  Burton  being  the 
only  grower  who  could  exhibit  fifty  fancy  blooms.  Mr.  Burton  having 
won  this  cup  two  years  ago  from  a  number  of  competitors,  now  holds 
the  trophy.     We  handle  all  Mr.  Burton's  flowers.

A.  Dreer;  G.  C.  Watson  and  David  Rust. 
Together  they  aecided  the  above  points 
ana  made  financial  arrangements. 

Tuesday  evening  the  Florists'  Club 
entertained  the  visitors  at  a  banquet 
given  in  the  foyer  of  Horticultural  hall. 
Sixty     guests     assembled.      Among     the 


visitors,  besides  the  executive  committee 
before  mentioned,  were  J.  C.  Vaughan, 
of  Chicago;  E.  V.  Hallock,  Queens,  N. 
Y.;  Peter  Crowe,  Utica,  N.  Y.;  Thos. 
Johnson,  Providence,  R.  I.;  G.  X.

N.  J.;  Col.  Castle  and  J.  L.  Congdon, 
Boston,  and  Edward  A.  Flood,  Atco,  N. 
J.  Samuel  S.  Pennock  presided,  and 
Robert  Craig  acted  as  toastmaster. 
Speeches  were  made  by  W.  J.  Stewart, 
John  Westcott,  J.  C.  Vaughan,  P.  J. 
Hauswirth,  W.  F.  Kasting,  E.  V.  Hallock 
and  Robert  Kift,  and  songs  were  sung 
by  P.  J.  Lynch,  J.  F.  Hogan  and  A.  L. 
Campbell.  The  evening  was  thoroughly 
enjoyed.  Mr.  Kift,  who  spoke  for  the 
horticultural  press,  made  the  point  that 
while  the  other  speakers  were  telling  of 
the  benefits  various  societies  gave  their 
members  at  their  conventions,  the  press 
had  a  weekly  convention,  which  was  far 
more  beneficial  and  far  reaching  in  ita 
effects. 

Rose  Show  Gleaxiiogs. 

Philadelphia  captured  fifteen  prizes  at 
Washington  last  week,  including  the 
Lord  &  Burnham  and  Michell  cups. 

The  victory  of  George  Burton,  who 
won  the  Lord  &  Burnham  cup  for  the 
second  time,  was  notable  in  that  Mr. 
Burton  was  able  to  bring  fifty  fancy 
blooms  at  a  time  of  such  scarcity. 

Edward  Towill's  success  in  winning 
the  Michell  cup  was  a  popular  victory. 
It  took  fifty  fancy  Richmonds  to  do  it. 

It  was  stated  that  Wm.  Kleinheinz 
was  in  an  automobile  accident  while  see- 
ing the  city.  Fortunately,  nothing  more 
serious  than  an  hour's  detention  resulted. 
Mr.  Kleinheinz  and  his  friends  were 
then  borne  back  to  their  hotel  by  a  red 
devil. 

Among  the  Philadelphians  at  the  show 
were  David  Anderson,  George  Burton, 
G.  E.  Campbell,  A.  B.  Cartledge,  D.  T. 
Connor,   Robert  Craig,   W.   P.   Craig,  J.

The  dinner  given  by  the  Washington 
florists  to  the  members  of  the  Rose  So- 
ciety at  the  Arlington  hotel  on  Thurs- 
day evening  was  considered  by  those 
fortunate  enough  to  be  present  as  the 
handsomest  aflfair  of  the  kind  ever  held. 
The  room  was  elaborately  decorated  with 
palms  and  flowers.  Fully  150  guests  sat 
down  to  dinner,  including  a  number  of 
ladies.  There  were  many  speeches  and 
Bongs,  among  the  latter  an  original  one 
by  Robert  Kift,  which  was  especially 
happy. 

On  Friday  teams  representing  Wash- 
ington, Baltimore  and  Philadelphia 
rolled  a  series  of  three  games  for  the 
inter-city  championship.  Philadelphia 
was  represented  by  D.  T.  Connor,  J.  H. 
Dodds,  William  Graham,  Robert  Kift 
and  Robert  Schoch.  I  will  allow  the 
Washington  correspondent  to  give  you 
full  details  of  this  melancholy  affair. 
The  second  series  will  be  rolled  in  Phila- 
delphia Thursday,  March  21. 

Various  Notes. 

The  new  oflScers  of  the  Conard  & 
Jones  Co.,  West  Grove,  Pa.,  are:  Presi- 
dent, Robert  Pyle;  vice-president  and 
manager,  Antoine  Wintzer;  secretary, 
Roland  C.  Satterthwaite ;  treasurer,  S. 
Morris  Jones. 

The  Leo  Niessen  Co.  is  receiving  fine 
Cattleya  Schroederiana  and  Ccelogyne 
cristata.  Wild  smilax  is  handled  in 
quantity. 

The  S.  S.  Pennock-Meehan  Co.  will 
have  a  fine  lot  of  Brunners  as  an  addi- 
tion to  the  many  choice  flowers  for 
Easter. 

Edward  Reid  says  that  Robert  Scott  & 
Son's  lilies  are  extremely  well  finished; 
with  Ramblers  they  are  king  bee. 

Eugene  Bernheimer  is  handling  some 
nice  Harlowarden  carnations. 

A.  L.  Campbell  has  received  his  first 
shipment  of  Faust  lilies.  They  are  very 
fine. 

John  Mclntyre  says  that  with  good 
weather  there  will  be  plenty  of  choice 
single  violets  at  Easter. 

Smith  &  Van  Aart,  of  Indianapolis, 
have  purchased  the  greenhouses  of  Henry 
Whalen,  at  Newtown,  Pa.  They  will 
change  the  place  from  a  rose  plant  to 
one  devoted  to  greens,  carnations  and 
bulbous  stock.  Both  partners  are  hard 
workers  and  should  make  a  success  of 
their  enterprise. 

M.  Rice  &  Co.  have  received  a  new 
shipment  of  lace  bouquet  holders.  There 
were  not  enough  to  fill  all  orders. 

Among  the  visitors  in  town  recently 
looking  over  the  Easter  stock  in  "the- 
rising  eastern  market"  were  Henry 
Pfister,  Washington;  Harry  Shroyer, 
Lancaster;  Thomas  Johnson,  Providence; 
.  Smith  &  Fetters,  Cleveland;  Mayberry 
&  Hoover,  Washington;  M.  Johnson  and 
Mrs.  Johnson,  Baltimore;  Radcliff  & 
Tanner,  Richmond,  Va.,  and  Barney 
Myers,  of  Lancaster,  N.  Y. 

J.   Stern  &   Co.   are  getting  the  last 
shipment  of  Easter  baskets  and  Easter 
.  novelties  in  by  this  week-'s  steamers. 

Saturday  saw  the  beginning  of  the 
great  spring  rush  in  the  seed  stores. 
Dreer's,  Johnson's,  Michell's  and 
Stokes'  stores  are  working  overtime  to 
keep  up  with  orders.  Phil.

COLD  STORAGE  LILIES. 

How  shall  we  treat  Lilium  giganteum 
taken  from  cold  storage  from  now  on  to 
get  the  best  results?  W.  J. 

After  potting  they  should  be  placed 
on  the  floor  in  a  frost-proof  shed  or 
cellar,  where  temperature  fluctuations 
are  less  marked  than  in  the  greenhouses 
at  this  season  of  the  year.  All  lilies  pre- 
fer a  comparatively  cool  location  while 
making  their  roots  and  during  the  early 
stages  of  growth.  As  soon  as  the  pots 
are  well  filled  with  roots  they  can  be 
moved  to  a  warm  house.  If  placed 
under  a  greenhouse  bench  at  the  present 
time  growths  will  appear  above  the  pots 
before  many  roots  are  made,  which 
means  a  failure  so  far  as  flowers  are 
concerned. 

Some  successful  growers  have  tiers  of 
shelves  on  which  they  stand  the  pots 
around  the  sides  of  the^shed  or  cellars. 
They  can  all  be  readily  reached  with  the 
hose  when  necessary.  They  are  kept 
rather  dark,  and  this  prevents  the  dry- 
ing out  of  the  soil.  After  being  housed, 
the  benches  in  almost  any  of  the  houses 
should  do  for  them  now  that  the  sun 
is  at  so  much  higher  an  angle.  "We 
consider  one  of  the  greatest  secrets  of 
success  in  growing  cold  storage,  or  in- 
deed any  other  bulbs,  is  to  fill  the  pots 
with  roots  in  as  cool  and  equable  a 
place  as  possible.  C.  W.

TROUBLE  WITH  GERANIUMS. 

I  enclose  some  samples  of  geranium 
leave.  The  plants  did  well  up  to  the 
first  part  of  March,  when  the  spots  ap- 
peared. They  were  rooted  in  November. 
I  have  not  used  anything  in  the  soil  ex- 
cept sheep  manure.  The  plants  did  not 
show  the  disease  until  they  were  changed 
into  4-inch  pots.  The  trouDle  is  mostly 
among  the  John  Doyles  and  Bicards. 
I  have  Poitevine  and  S.  A.  Nutt  in.  the 
same  house,  but  they  are  not  affected. 
The  geraniums  are  in  the  end  house, 
quite  shady,  and  the  temperature  is 
about  50  degrees.  I  do  not  think  I 
have  overwatered  them.  The  disease 
seems  to  be  spreading.  J.  F.  D. 

This  trouble,  which  is  not  at  all  un- 
common,  comes  from  a  variety  of  causes 
and,  once  started,  spreads  very  fast.  It 
is  due  to  several  causes:  Too  much 
nitrogenous  manure  in  the  soil,  too 
much  moisture  at  the  roots  and  over- 
head and  too  little  sunlight  on  the 
plants.  We  would  advise  giving  the 
plants  all  possible  sunshine;  they  need 
it  and  will  not  do  nearly  so  well  in  a 
shaded  as  in  a  sunny  house.  They  may 
grow  and  appear  green,  but  the  growth 
is  soft  in  comparison  to  what  it  would 
be  in  direct  sunlight  and  the  plants  will 
not  flower  so  well. 

We  have  not  found  any  advantage  in 
spraying  for  the  mildewed  foliage,  and 
we  think  the  only  successful  remedy 
vdll  be  a  light,  sunny  house,  care  in 
watering  and  the  use  of  fine  bone  in 
lieu  of  sheep  or  cow  manure  at  future 
pottings.  The  latter  manures  promote 
rank  growth;  the  former  makes  the 
plants  hardier  and  more  floriferous.

Pres.,  Henry  W.  Wood,  Richmond,  Va. ;  First 
Vlce-Pres.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo,  O.;  Sec'y  and 
Treas.,  C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland.  The  25th  annual 
meeting  will  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1907. 


The  California  seed  growers  would 
like  to  have  a  little  fair  weather. 

Spring  weather  in  the  central  states 
has  started  a  freshet  of  orders  pouring 
in  on  the  seedsmen. 

It  was  102  degrees  in  the  shade  in 
Oklahoma  March  19  and  the  whole  south- 
west is  having  a  hot  wave. 

Frank  Blaeetield  is  working  in  the 
Sister  Bay  region  in  Wisconsin  making 
pica  growing  contracts  for  the  John  H. 
Allan  Seed  Co. 

The  canners  seem  to  have  found  all 
the  seeds  they  need;  at  least  they  are 
not  calling  for  stock  the  way  they  were  a 
few  weeks  ago. 

W.  A.  Wheeler,  Brookings,  S.  D.,  is 
making  contracts  for  the  growing  of  the 
stock  with  which  the  Dakota  Improved 
Seed  Co.  will  start  in  business  at  Mitch- 
ell, S.  D.,  next  season. 

In  spite  of  the  troubles  and  delay  in 
getting  their  catalogues  in  the  mails, 
the  seed  department  of  Montgomery 
Ward  &  Co.,  Chicago,  has  been  working 
to  the  limit  for  some  time. 

The  E.  F.  Winterson  Co.,  Chicago, 
will  engage  in  the  retail  seed  and  horti- 
cultural supply  business  at  45  to  47 
Wabash  avenue,  having  leased  the  three 
store  spaces  on  the  street  floor  for  the 
purpose. 

A  FIRM  of  Hamburg  importers  and  a 
London  jobber  of  lon^orums  are 
"lawing  it"  to  find  out  who  is  re- 
sponsible when  cold  storage  bulbs  do  not 
flower  satisfactorily.  It  appears  that 
all  growers  who  bought  the  bulbs  were 
given  credits  in  settlement  by  the  job- 
ber and  he  seeks  to  pass  the  responsi- 
I  bility  back  to  the  importer.

The  Holland  bulb  salesmen,  whose 
name  is  legion,  are  again  centering  on 
New  York  after  covering  the  west.  Most 
of  them  sail  for  home  or  for  England 
early  in  April.  Not  one  of  them  fails 
to  report  that  orders  booked  this  year 
have  been  the  heaviest  on  record. 

The  J.  C.  Eobinson  Seed  Co.,  Water- 
loo, la.,  has  just  completed  its  com  dry- 
ing plant,  which  will  be  busy  from  now 
until  the  season  is  over  drying  seed  corn 
for  planting.  It  has  a  capacity  of  about 
100  bushels  per  hour.  A  public  demon- 
stration of  its  work  was  given  March 
19. 

The  breaking  of  winter  has  brought  a 
rush  to  the  seed  trade  and  houses  in  all 
branches  of  the  business  are  as  busy  aa 
they  care  to  be.    Mail  orders  are  coming

Tea  Rose

This  grand  flesh-colored  rose  is  undoubtedly 

THE  ROSE  OF  THE  SEASON 

It  iB  a  seedling  from  Antoine  Rivoire,  with  the 
scent  of  Souvenir  de  la  Malmaison,  very  full  and 
beautiful  form,  an  ideal  exhibition  rose,  a  good 
opener,  and  robust  grower. 

We  staged  68  perfect  blooms  at  the  Royal 
Horticultural  Society's  Show  at  Holland  House, 
July  9  and  10,  1906,  and  after  two  days'  show 
were  as  good  as  when  first  set  up,  and  were  ad-

variety  in  the  show.

SEED  SHORTAGES  OF  1907. 

Now  that  the  seed  catalogues  for  1907 
are  published  and  distributed,  our  cus- 
tomers and  the  trade  are  wondering  what 
all  the  excitement  about  seed  shortages, 
that  occupied  the  minds  of  the  entire 
craft  such  a  short  time  ago,  was  for. 
One  would  gather  from  a  close  perusal 
of  the  seed  catalogues  this  year  that 
never  in  the  history  of  the  trade  were 
there  such  quantities  of  seeds  and  of 
such  splendid  qualities. 

The  real  fact  of  the  case  is  that  the 
'day  of  absolute  shortage  of  seeds,  so 
acute  that  planters  must  forego  their 
plantings,  has  forever  passed  in  this 
country.  Our  great  diversity  of  soils 
and  climatic  conditions  makes  it  an  im- 
possibility, to  say  nothing  of  the  seeds 
we  can  get  from  Europe.  When  there 
are  no  seeds  in  one  section,  there  are  in 
another.  It  is  wholly  a  question  of  price, 
and  even  this  season  prices  have  not  been 
nearly  so  much  affected  as  the  "short- 
age howl,"  at  the  time  our  seed  cata- 
logues were  started  last  autumn,  would 
lead  buyers  to  suppose. 

There  are  many  reasons  for  this.  In 
the  first  place,  most  of-  us  who  do  any 
business  at  all  annually  carry  over  from 
one  year  to  another  seeds  in  quantity 
sufficient  to  carry  us  a  long  way  on  the 
road  of  the  next  year.    Now  let  no  one

misunderstand  just  what  I  mean  here; 
I  refer  especially  to  those  seeds  that 
are  just  as  good,  and  in  many  cases 
much  improved,  by  being  two  or  three 
years  old.  For  there  is  now  no  question 
but  that  vine  seeds  of  practically  all  va- 
rieties are  better  three  or  four  years 
old  than  they  are  the  first  season  after 
being  harvested.  I  will  go  no  further

such  seeds  as  parsnip  and  others  that 
go  into  the  dirt-barrel  at  the  end  of 
each  season,  and  which  even  immedi- 
ately after  harvesting  often  germinate 
poorly.  I  am  telling  you  about  carry-

supply;  and  in  a  season  like  the  pres- 
ent, when  some  things  are  really  quite 
short,  you  will  find  that  other  varieties 
of  merit  are  pushed  ahead  of  supposedly 
popular  favorites. 

This  brings  up  another  great  question, 
and  that  is,  do  we  not  push  undiily,  year 
after  year,  certain  varieties  to  the  exclu- 
sion of  others  that  may  perhaps  be 
really  quite  as  valuable?  You  will  say 
that  this  takes  us  into  another  great 
question,  and  that  is,  that  seedsmen  are 
obliged  to  carry  in  stock  and  sell  to 
their  customers  those  varieties  of  seeds 
that  custom  and  an  especial  local  mar- 
ket demand.  Granted  in  a  way,  for  no 
one  knows  better  than  the  writer  how 
true  this  is;  but,  on  the  other  hand,  I 
fully  believe  that  few  seedsmen  realize 
how  much  dependence  their  customers 
place  in  their  opinions  and  advice.  Seeds- 
men can  and  do  control  the  varieties  of 
seeds  that  shall  be  planted  in  certain 
localities,  possibly  more  than  they  them- 
selves have  realized. 

It  is  only  in  a  year  of  seed  shortage 
that  many  of  these  questions  I  have 
raised  appeal  to  us  at  their  true  value. 
When  seeds  of  every  kind  are  plenty 
and,  perhaps,  a  drug  on  the  market,  it 
is  so  easy  to  give  a  customer  what  he 
will  buy  the  quickest  and  easiest,  and 
that  is  always  what  his  father,  grand- 
father and  neighbors  have  planted.  The 
average  man  will  keep  on  planting  what 
he  always  has,  without  regard  to  the 
fact  that  another  variety  might  bring 
him  half  again  as  much  profit  or  pleas- 
ure. I  have  a  specific  case  in  my  mind, 
where  a  customer,  in  a  short  crop  seed 
year,  took  several  varieties  against  his 
own  wishes — J  can  hardly  say  judgment 
— and  the  results  were  that  the  crops 
gathered  were  so  much  more  satisfactory 
and  profitable  than  the  kinds  the  same 
customer  had  always  planted,  that  ever 
after  he  would  have  none  .other  than 
those  varieties  which  his  seedsman  would 
recommend  to  him. 

I  am  afraid  my  thoughts  have  taken

me  away  from  my  original  subject,  but 
so  many  things  enter  into  the  making  of 
a  seed  catalogue — how  varieties  should 
be  offered  in  a  short  seed  year  espe- 
cially—that it  requires  the  greatest  tact 
and  knowledge  of  your  customers'  needs 
and  wants  to  not  only  meet  those  needs, 
but  also  to  sell  j'our  own  seed  stock  in 
a  proper  manner.  No  matter  how  much 
pains  a  seedsman  takes,  he  will  be  con- 
fronted at  the  end  of  the  season  with 
two  serious  propositions:  First,  he  will 
have  a  surplus  of  many  things  that 
should  have  been  sold;  and,  second,  he 
will  not  have  enough  of  other  things  to

Dear  Sir:

of  your  Meadowvale  Florists'  Light  Mixture  to 

be  shipped  via,  freight— express  about 


P  O.  B.  Berlin.  N.  Y. 

This  order  is  given  by  me— us  and  taken  by 
you  with  the  understanding  that  if  given  proper 
soil  and  cultivation,  we  can.  after  blooming  this 
season  (1907)  conscientiously  say  we  have  not 
received  full  value  I— we  can.  at  harvest  time, 
return  the  stock,  together  with  its  increase  in 
bulbs  and  cormels  to  you  via  freight— express 
and  you  will  refund  tbe  above  amount  paid. 

If  returned  fi  eight— express  charges  will  be 
paid  by  me— us. 


Name 


Town County. 

State  


This  order  has  been  accepted  and  entered 
under  the  above  conditions. 


Berlin.  N.  Y 190. 


For  forcing  I  can  recom- 
mend it  as  bein^ 
almost  equal  to  the 
best  named  varieties 
generally  used  for 
that  purpose. 

It  contains  named  novel- 
ties of  merit,  and 
hybrids  bred  especially 
to  supply  the  needs 
of  Florists  requiring 
li^ht  colors. 


Having  for  many  years  experimented  extensively  to  the  end  of  supplying  a  White  and  Light  Mixture  especially 
adapted  to  the  Florists'  trade,  for  Funeral  and  Decorative  work  where  light  colors  alone  would  be  appropriate,  I  am 
now  prepared  to  furnish  my  Meadowvale  Florists'  Light  Mixture,  which  I  can  guarantee  to  contain  the  best  quality 
obtainable  in  the  world  at  the  price.  There  is  such  a  variation  in  Florists'  Mixtures,  as  generally  offered,  that  I  do 
not  wonder  at  the  frequent  disgust  of  the  purchaser,  and  in  my  preparation  of  this  stock  I  have  endeavored  to 
eliminate  every  variety  with  which  the  most  critical  florist  could  find  fault. 

This  Mixture  was  offered  last  Spring  for  the  first  time  and  over  500,000  were  placed  and  not  one  complaint 
received,  a  sure  indication  that  it  was  favorably  received  by  the  Florists.  For  this  season,  1907,  it  will  be  sold 
only  by  me  and  in  lots  of  not  less  than  1000  or  more.  Price.  $i5  00  per  1000,  F.  O.  B.  Berlin,  N.  Y.,  cash  with 
order,  and  will  be  sold  subject  to  the  conditions  on  above  order  blank. 

This  offer  will  hold  good  as  long  as  the  stock  lasts  and  orders  will  be  entered  in  their  turn,  although  shipment 
may  not  be  required  until  later.  When  the  stock  is  all  sold,  this  offer  will  be  withdrawn,  without  further  notice, 
therefore  do  not  delay  and  miss  it.  May  I  not  have  the  opportunity  of  demonstrating  that  I  have  a  Mixture  which, 
after  growing  one  season,  you  would  not  part  with  for  double  the  price  paid?  If  so,  fill  out  the  order  blank  and 
send  to  me  with  remittance  and  I  will  sign  and  return  duplicate  to  you. 

Xllnstrated  Catalogrne  of  Other  Collections,  Mixtures  and  Named  Varieties  will  be  Mailed  upon  Application.

great  responsibility.  The  weight  of  the 
responsibility  that  an  honest  man  car- 
ries, who  has  the  buying  of  a  seed  stock 
in  his  hands,  is,  in  my  estimation,  the 
greatest  any  man  can  assume.  The  oc- 
cupant of  such  a  position  is  morally 
obligated  to  every  customer  of  the  house ; 
he  stands  between  the  planter  and  crop 
failure.  On  the  other  hand,  his  firm  ex- 
pects him  to  make  money  for  the  house; 
and  fortunate  is  the  man  who  can  serve 
both  masters  satisfactorily.

is  Conklin's  seed  house,  which  is  situ- 
ated up  to  the  tracks  of  the  two  rail- 
roads from  Eobinson  street,  and  which 
annually  distributes  great  quantities  of 
grass  and  farm  seeds  to  all  parts  of  the 
country.  This  firm  was  started  in  1875 
by  E.  W.  Conklin,  the  father  of  the 
present  proprietor,  Horace  E.  Ctonklin. 
The  firm  at  first  had  warehouses  on  State 
street,  and  the  firm  was  at  different 
periods  known  as  Conklin  &  Keeler,  and 
Conklin  &  Mersereau.  Since  the  death 
of  the  founder,  in  1896,  the  business  has 
been  conducted  successfully  by  his  son. 

"In   1897  the  present  warehouses   on 
Montgomery  street  were  erected.     Last 


season  two  additions  were  built,  each 
50x50,  one  of  them  of  five  stories  and 
the  other  two  stories.  The  main  build- 
ing is  75x420  feet.  About  twenty-five 
men  are  employed  and  an  equal  number 
of  girls.  The  principal  business  is  the 
recleaning  of  western  seeds  and  the 
selling  of  field  seeds,  with  a  specialty  of 
seed  peas  and  corn.  Several  salesmen 
are  on  the  road  for  the  firm,  and  a 
branch  office  is  located  at  Harrisville, 
Mich.,  where  thousands  of  bushels  of 
peas  are  annually  grown  for  the  house. 
Here  Mr.  Conklin  has  a  large  warehouse. 
In  the  five-story  section  of  the  plant  is 
located  the  department  for  the  recleaning

FIVE  NEW  VARIETIES  FOR  1907 

Vick*s  Sunset.  Companion  to  Day- 
break and  Purity ;  in  color  a  delicate  pink 
shading  to  a  deep  rich  pink  in  center.  Pro- 
fuse bloomer.  Price  per  packet,  25c;  2 
packets,  40c. 

Vick's  Upright.  Long,  graceful 
stems  branch  out  at  the  ground  and  grow 
directly  upward.  Flowers  are  symmetrical, 
double  and  full  to  the  center.  Splendid  for 
cutting.  Especially  valuable  for  shipping. 
Price  per  packet,  25c;  2  packets,  40c. 

Vick's  Royal  Purple.  An  offshoot 
from  the  Branching.  Unlike  its  parent,  it 
sends  out  stems  close  to  the  ground.  A 
medium  early  variety  but  lasting  until  late 
in  fall.  Nearly  every  stem  produces  speci- 
men flowers.  Price  per  packet,  20c;  2 
packets,  35c. 

Vick's  Branching  Rosy  Carmine. 
A  new  color  in  the  Branching  class.  Lead- 
ing florists  pronounce  it  a  shade  which  will 
be  popular  with  the  trade.  Price  per  pack- 
et, 25c;  2  packets,  40c. 

Vick's  Cardinal.  The  best  bedding 
Aster  ever  introduced.  A  good  one  for  cut- 
ting. With  its  profusion  of  flowers  and  bril- 
liant coloring  it  makes  a  handsome  showing. 
Price  per  packet,  25c;   2  packets,  40c.

PRIMULA  KEWENSIS 

See  Fix)EiSTS'  Review,  Boston  report, 
page  1099,  February  28. 

This  charming  addition  to  our  greenhouse 
Primroses  originated  at  the  Royal  Gardens, 
Kew,  as  an  accidental  cross  between  the 
small,  bright-flowered  Himalayan  species, 
P.  floribunda,  and  the  sweet-scented  P.  verti- 
cillata,  a  native  of  Arabia.  The  plant  is  a 
strong  grower,  with  bright  green  leaves, 
and  numerous  erect  flowerscapes,  10  to  18 
inches  in  height,  producing  fiowers  in  whorls 
at  intervals  along  their  whole  length.  The 
flowers  are  fragrant,  bright  yellow  in  color, 
with  a  slender  tube  and  spreading  limb, 
nearly  an  inch  in  diameter.  As  a  winter- 
flowering  decorative  plant  it  is  an  acquisi- 
tion; its  floriferousness  when  in  a  very  small 
state  is  remarkable.    Per  pkt.,  $1.00.

RAWSON'S  BOOKLETS. 

In  preparing  their  general  catalogue 
for  1907  W.  W.  Eawson  &  Co.,  Boston, 
were  compelled  to  ma^e  a  start  from  the 
very  beginning.  They  had  lost  all  their 
electrotypes  in  the  fire  of  the  spring  of 
1906.  Consequently  the  catalogue  was 
not  only  newly  illustrated  but  it  was  en- 
tirely rewritten  and  all  cultural  direc- 
tions were  omitted,  it  being  the  inten- 
tion to  prepare  them  in  an  up-to-date 
manner  and  publish  in  pamphlet  form. 
These  booklets  are  now  being  mailed  to 
their  customers.  One  is  entitled  "Raw- 
son's  Practical  Guide  to  Vegetable 
Growing,"  and  it  is  stated  to  be  writ- 
ten by  the  Hon.  Warren  W.  Eawson,  de- 
tailing the  methods  proven  to  be  best  by 
his  many  years  of  practical  vegetable 
growing  at  Arlington.  It  is  stated  that 
Mr.  Eawson,  for  instance,  grows  more 
radishes  under  glass  for  the  Boston  mar- 
ket than  any  other  two  growers.  While 
the  book  is  designed  primarily  as  an  ad- 
vertisement of  Eawson 's  seeds,  there  is 
much  of  interest  in  it  for  every  seeds- 
man as  well  as  vegetable  grower. 

The  second  booklet  is  entitled  "  Eaw- 
son's  Guide  for  Flowers,"  and  ninety 
pages  are  devoted  to  brief  but  compre-

This  Is  Ny  lOth  Year 

I  am  a  little  proud  of  the  record  the  Orchid  is  making  for  itself  in  America.  I  have  endeavored  to 
do  my  share  in  emphasizing  its  value  to  floriculture  in  this  country.  I  think  you  will  admit  I  have 
accomplished  my  purpose.  Now,  when  you  want  them,  you  know  the  one  place  where  you  are

TORONTO. 


The  Market. 


Trade  during  the  last  few  weeks  has 
been  on  the  quiet  side,  at  least  the 
wholesalers  imagine  it  has  been,  on  ac- 
count of  the  great  amount  of  stock  that 
has  been  coming  in.  I  think  with  the 
most  of  them  that  the  receipts  are  quite 
equal,  if  not  ahead,  of  other  years,  and 
the  abundance  of  stock  has  made  it  dif- 
ficult for  everything  to  be  cleaned  up; 
especially  in  carnations,  violets  and  bulb 
stock  is  this  noticeable.  Easter  lilies  are 
coming,  and  from  present  appearances 
will  be  plentiful  around  Toronto, 
although  we  hear  in  many  of  the  out- 
side points  that  stock  is  behind. 

Variotss  Notes. 

J.  S.  Simmons  has  just  finished  the 
alterations  for  his  enlarged  store.  He 
has  taken  over  the  store  next  to  him 
and  made  the  two  stores  into  one.  This 
he  has  carried  out  right  through  the 
three  upper  floors,  and  has  fitted  these 
up  for  ofSces  of  various  kinds.  He  has 
put  in  a  complete  new  steam  plant,  and 
has  electric  Ught  and  gas  all  through 
the  bmlding.  His  store  will  be  one  of 
the  finest,  if  not  the  finest,  in  Canada, 
when  he  has  it  finished.  He  intends,  in 
the  fall,  to  take  out  the  present  front 
and  put  in  a  new  front.  He  is  using  all 
the  modern  ideas  for  convenience  as 
well  as  style  and,  with  the  great  amount 
of  floor  space  that  he  will  have,  his 
store  will  be  a  credit  to  Canada. 

A  number  of  the  Toronto  florists  went 
to  London  to  attend  a  meeting  of  the 
executive  committee  of  the  Canadian 
Horticultural  Association,  as  well  as 
taking  in  the  carnation  exhibition  in 
that  town.  The  delegates  did  not  ex- 
actly walk  to  London,  but  the  time  we 
made  would  leave  the  impression  that 
we  were  traveling  on  a  slow  freight. 
However,  after  we  arrived  there  every- 
thing was  made  quite  lively  for  us.  The 
exhibition    was   a   good    one,     and     the

quality  and  the  quantity  of  the  carna- 
tions put  up  were  fine.  J.  Gammage  & 
Son  had  a  splendid  exhibit,  showing 
some  White  Perfection,  and  a  number 
of  standard  varieties  well  grown.  F. 
Dicks,  London's  carnation  specialist, 
had  some  fine  standard  varieties.  J.  H. 
Dunlop,  Toronto;  "W.  J.  Lawrence, 
Eglinton;  Dale  Estate,  Brampton,  and 
W.  Fendley,  Brampton,  sent  exhibits  of 
carnations  of  the  best  commercial 
varieties.  It  might  be  remarked  that 
all  the  carnation  stock  exhibited  was 
much  ahead  of  the  Canadian  grown 
carnations  that  were  shown  at  the  carna- 
tion convention  show  in  Toronto.  The 
bright  weather  we  have  had  the  last  few 
weeks  put  some  strength  into  the  stems, 
so  that  the  stock  showed  up  to  much 
better  advantage.  F.  E.  Pierson,  of 
Tarrytown,  N.  Y.,  sent  an  exhibit  of 
Winsor  and  White  Enchantress.  These 
two  proiliise  to  be.  good  commercial 
varieties. 

A  meeting  of  the  executive  committee 
of  the  Canadian  Horticultural  Associa- 
tion was  held,  and  a  draft  of  the  pro- 
gram for  the  annual  convention  was 
made.  If  we  get  all  the  papers  that  are 
down  on  the  list  we  should  certainly 
have  an  interesting  meeting  next  fall  in

London,  as  there  are  many  papers  down 
which  touch  on  live  subjects  in  connec- 
tion with  the  flower  trade.  In  the 
afternoon  the  delegates  visited  the 
greenhouses  of  J.  Gammage  &  Son  and 
found  everything  in  fine  shape  for 
Easter.  Especially  admired  were  their 
bench  of  Easter  lilies  and  house  of 
Primala  obconica  in  full  bloom.  Their 
new  range,  which  is  devoted  principally 
to  carnations,  is  fine.  The  firm  intends

Tkc  Market 


Business  has  been  somewhat  unsteady 
the  last  week.  Funeral  work  created 
most  of  the  business,  causing  a  big  rush 
in  some  stores,  while  at  the  same  time 
at  the  store  next  door  there  was  noth- 
ing doing.  Just  at  present  there  is  lit- 
tle doing  in  the  way  of  weddings  or 
entertaining. 

Colored  stock  is  plentiful.  White 
flowers  remain  well  cleaned  up.  Satur- 
day evening  white  carnations  were  at  a 
premium,  owing  to  the  demand  for 
green  carnations  for  Marca  17.  Carna- 
tions are  bringing  from  $1.50  to  $2. 
Those  colored  green  for  St.  Patrick's 
day  sold  readUy  at  $4.  In  1906  green 
carnations  did  not  sell  at  all,  but  this 
year  a  great  many  were  disposed  of. 

•^luch  bulbous  stock  is  still  going  to 
waste.  Violets  are  getting  poor.  Smi- 
lax  IS  still  scarce.  Ferns  are  up  to  !:>2.50 
per  thousand,  and  are  poor  at  that.  Aza- 
\^^A  ^^^^^'  ^°^^  plants,  bulbous  plants, 
rhododendrons,   etc.,   are  selUng  well.

flowers,  dyed  green,  in  his  window  last 
week. 

J.  E.  Smith,  of  Wyandotte,  recently 
gave  his  fourth  or  fifth  annual  spread 
for  a  number  of  the  members  of  the 
Florists'  -Club,  Mr.  Smith,  although 
long  ago  of  age,  is  still  enjoying  single 
blessedness.  He  has  only  a  sm^l  span 
of  glass,  but  his  carnation  crop  certain- 
ly speaks  well  for  the  grower.  Some  of 
the  boys  say  his  crop  of  champagne  and 
cigars  is  also  par  excellence. 

Easter  is  early  this  year,  but  Easter 
shoppers  are  already  in  evidence  on  all 
sides.  The  public  is  finding  out  that  it 
pays  to  be  on  the  ground  early.  Many 
orders  for  Easter  are  being  booked. 
Nothing  pleases  the  florists  more,  as 
they  are  better  able  to  handle  the  busi- 
ness when  spread  out  over  a  week  or  ten 


days.  Blooming  plants  are  plentiful, 
but  lilies  will  hardly  be  equal  to  the 
demand. 

"William  Hielscher  is  just  recovering 
from  a  severe  attack  of  the  grip. 

The  excellent  staying  qualities  of 
some  green  carnation  fluid  was  proven 
in  Detroit.  Someone  experimented  with 
the  tail  end  of  a  white  dog  belonging  to 
William  Brown,  and  now  the  green  tip 
"won't  come  off." 

The  Detroit  Cut  Flower  Exchange  is 
handling  some  exceptionally  fine  sweet 
peas. 

With  the  arrival  of  the  spring  weath- 
er the  street  fakers  are  again  in  evi- 
dence. Hundreds  of  Enchantress  are 
finding  their  way  to  the  public  through 
this  channel  at  25  cents  per  dozen.

The  Market 


The  weather  conditions  have  been  sat- 
isfactory. The  bright,  sunny  days  have 
brought  out  thousands  of  blooms  of 
every  description  and  little  was  carried 
over.  The  retail  market  has  been 
steady.  Prices  have  declined  on  some 
particular  grades.  Taking  all  into  con- 
sideration, the  retailer  makes  no  com- 
plaint. 

American  Beauties  are  generally 
enough  to  meet  the  demands;  however, 
the  coming  of  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
Co.,  March  25,  at  the  Lyric,  will  no 
doubt  call  for  many  Beauties  and  other 
cut  flowers,  but  only  a  few  of  the  lead- 
ing florists  will  reap  the  harvest.  Boses 
are  coming  in  more  regularly,  at  fair 
prices.  Ivory,  Bridesmaid,  and  Killar- 
ney  are  extra  fine.  Bride,  Richmond, 
Liberty  and  Gate  are  used  to  a  great  ex- 
tent. The  glut  of  carnations  still  hangs 
on.  Many  who  are  trying  to  hold  them 
back  for  Easter  find  it  difficult,  as  the 
sun  has  so  much  power.  The  quality  is 
fair,  but  showing  a  little  change.  The 
leading  sellers  here  are  white  and  En- 
chantress. 

Lily  of  the  valley  is  not  so  plentiful 
and  ff'v  are  called  for.  Sweet  peas  can 
be  had  iii  any  quantity  at  a  low  figure. 
Both  single  and  double  violets  are  a 
glut  and  sell  at  a  price  that  hardly  pays 
for  picking.  Thousands  were  offered  on 
the  streets  last  week.  Callas  are  begin- 
ning  to    be   plentiful    and   bring   good 


prices.  Bulbous  stock  can  be  found  in 
any  quantity.  Thousands  of  Easter 
lilies  are  thrown  out  and  will  no  doubt 
make  a  short  crop.  Many  will  discard 
them  hereafter.  Greens  are  not  so 
scarce,  as  the  weather  is  more  favorable. 
The  fern  gatherers  will  soon  get  more 
out  of  the  woods  and  will  flood  the 
town. 

Vaiiotts  Notes. 

While  L.  Kru^er,  723  West  Franklin 
street,  was  trimming  a  tree,  the  limb 
on  which  he  was  standing  broke  and 
he  fell  to  the  ground,  sustaining  pain- 
ful injuries. 

Herbert  W.  Cameron,  who  was  em- 
ployed by  J.  Boigiano  &  Son,  has  given 
up  working  in  the  seed  business. 

Philip  Heddrick,  gardener  for  Allen 
McLane,  Chattolanee,  Md.,  picked  over 
2,500  extra  fine  Marie  Louise  violets 
and  has  some  fine  azaleas.  They  will 
shortly  erect  another  house,  much  larger 
than  the  one  they  now  have. 

Samuel  Feast  &  Sons  have  one  of  the 
most  up-to-date  arranged  windows  in 
the  city.  A  glance  at  the  beautiful 
sight  will  surely  make  anyone  feel  that 
spring  is  here. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  Gardeners' 
and  Florists*  Club  will  be  hela  in  its 
rooms  March  25.  This  meeting  should 
be  well  attended,  as  considerable  impor- 
tant business  will  be  transacted. 

Fred  Eeitz,  Franklintown,  has  an 
enormous  quantity  of  blooming  bulbous 
stock  for  Easter.  He  is  one  of  the  larg- 
est importers  in  the  state  and  supplies 
many  growers,  and  when  the  bulbs  are 


in  bloom  he  supplies  a  good  many  re- 
tail stores.  Much  credit  is  due  Mr. 
Reitz  for  the  way  he  handles  such  a 
vast  number  of  bulbs.  Easter  he  has 
about  half  a  dozen  stalls  scattered 
throughout  the  market  and  makes  many 
trips  a  day  with  his  wagon  and  a  hired 
wagon. 

One  of  our  growers  of  Easter  lilies 
was  compelled  to  throw  out  nearly  200 
lilies  last  week,  and  he  was  not  the  only 
,one. 

Many  members  of  the  club  attended 
the  rose  convention  at  Washington  last 
Friday  and  were  well  pleased. 

Isaac  H.  Moss,  Govanstown,  is  cut- 
ting some  extra  fine,  long-stemmed 
Ivory  and  Golden  Gate.  The  stock  has 
made  remarkable  growth  for  the  short 
time  planted. 

The  florists  here  are  beginning  to 
realize  that  the  window  decorations  are 
becoming  a  necessity. 

John  P.  Willheim,  Gardenville,  recent- 
ly was  in  tovm  looking  for  a  first-class 
buggy.  He  says  business  has  been  so 
brisk  that  it  enables  him  to  lay  out  the 
cash  for  this  summer's  pleasure. 

C.  B.  Hoffman,  Arlington,  has  com- 
pleted his  repairs  on  his  new  houses  re- 
cently damaged  by  fire  and  will  be 
ready  for  the  Easter  trade. 

There  was  a  good  demand  for  the 
green  carnations  for  St.  Patrick's  day.

with   no   greater    trouble   to    themselves 

than  the  posting  of   a  list  of  steamer

MANCHESTER,  MASS. 

The  North  Shore  Horticultural  So- 
ciety held  its  regular  meeting  in  Man- 
chester, March  15,  President  McGregor 
in  the  chair.  J.  W.  Duncan,  of  Boston, 
read  an  interesting  paper  on  "Trees 
and  Shrubs."  A  certificate  of  merit 
was  awarded  James  Salter  for  six  pots 
of  Antirrhinum  Sutton's  "White  Queen. 
This  is  a  dwarf  variety,  growing  from 
one  to  two  feet  in  height,  and  is  suit- 
able for  window  or  conservatory  deco- 
ration. 

Eesolutions  of  sympathy  were  passed 
on  the  death  of  William  J.  Griffin,  one 
of  the  organizers  of  this  society.  He 
was  a  native  of  County  Mayo,  Ireland. 
He  came  to  this  country  thirty-five 
years  ago  and  since  then  had  spent 
practically  all  his  time  in  this  vicinity. 
At  the  time  of  his  death  he  had  charge 
of  the  C.  H.  Tweed  estate,  Beverly 
Farms.  W.  T.

A  NURSERY  company  is  being  or-

The  site  of  the  company's  operations  is

The  George  Wittbold  Co.,  Chicago,  a 
couple  of  seasons  ago,  established  a  large 
nursery  at  Edgebrook,  just  outside  the 
city.  They  now  have  ^a  big  stock  of 
shrubs  and  hardy  perennials  ready  for 
market,  but  only  a  fraction  of  what  they 
expect  to  have  another  season. 


SEASONABLE  REMINDERS. 

Prunas  Pissardi  is,  in  eflfect,  a  minia- 
ture purple-leaved  plum.  It  is  fully  as 
decorative  as  the  latter  as  far  as  the 
foliage  is  concerned,  although,  of  course, 
by  reason  of  its  dwarf  habit  it  never 
attains  the  impressive  appearance  of  a 
matured  plum.  This  prunus  is  a  desir- 
able subject  when  something  is  wanted 
with  which  to  make  contrasts.  In  early 
summer,  before  the  foliage  unfolds,  beau- 
tiful pinkish  white  flowers  dot  the 
branches  profusely.  The  foliage,  from 
the  time  it  opens  in  early  summer  until 
it  falls  in  early  winter,  is  almost  un- 
changed in  its  purple  hue.  It  is  suitable 
for  planting  in  masses,  or  as  single  speci- 
mens. It  stands  hard  pruning,  if  it  is 
necessary,  to  keep  it  within  bounds,  or 
it  may  be  allowed  to  grow  unchecked; 
whichever  way  it  is  always  satisfactory. 

I  doubt  if  there  is  any  other  flowering 
shrub  as  much  in  demand,  and  deserv- 
edly so,  as  Hydrangea  paniculata  grandi- 
flora.  It  is  invaluable  for  the  decoration 
of  home  grounds  and  valuable  also  for 
the  flowers  in  their  cut  state.  They  find 
usually  a  ready  market,  even  at  a  time 
of  the  year  when  outdoor  flowers  are 
abundant.  Cuttings  of  this  hydrangea 
can  be  placed  in  the  nursery  in  the 
spring  to  root  and  it  will  not  be  long 
before  they  will  give  an  account  of 
themselves. 

Evergreens  require  more  or  less  pro- 
tection during  the  winter  months  in 
nearly  every  section  of  the  country,  not 
so  much  in  any  case  for  the  injury  that 
the  frost  might  directly  cause,  but  be- 
cause of  the  damaging  effects  of  cold 
and  sunlight  combined.  Evergreens,  cov- 
ered up  during  a  great  part  of  the  win- 
ter, should  not  at  one  time  be  wholly 
relieved  of  their  winter  protection,  nor 


should  any  of  it  be  removed  until,  at 
least,  some  sign  of  spring  appears.  At 
any  rate  it  is  undesirable  to  suddenly 
expose  them  to  the  full  light  of  the 
sun. 

The  present  is  a  good  time  to  begin  a 
campaign  of  extermination  upon  every- 
thing visible  in  the  line  of  scale,  as  well 
as  upon  things  pretty  nearly  invisible, 
that  are  a  menace  to  trees  and  shrubs. 

As  soon  as  the  frost  is  out  of  the 
ground  work  should  be  commenced  in  the 
preparation  of  beds  for  the  reception  of 
tree  seeds.  These  seeds,  stored  away 
somewhere  during  the  winter,  will,  many 
of  them,  need  looking  after  now  and  ex- 
amined to  ascertain  whether  or  not  they 
are  in  proper  condition. 

Evergreens  in  the  cutting  boxes  should 
be  potted   as   soon    as  they   are   rooted.

American  Elm. 


It  may  be  found  that  a  few  are  still  un- 
rooted, but,  better  than  leave  them  all 
longer  in  the  boxes,  to  pot  the  advanced 
ones  in  order  to  get  them  ahead  for  out- 
doors and  put  the  unrooted  ones  back  in 
the  cutting  boxes  again.  R.  R. 


THE  AMERICAN  ELM. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  from 
a  photograph  of  such  an  elm  as  any 
nurseryman  would  be  proud  to  have 
growing  in  a  big  block  on  his  grounds. 
J.  A.  Pettigrew  told  the  Massachusetts 
Horticultural  Society  recently  that  "the 
American  elm  (Ulmus  Americana)  is  en- 
deared to  the  people  of  New  England 
by  the  manner  in  which  it  has  embow- 
ered many  of  our  towns  and  waysides 
with  its  beautiful  pendulous  branches; 
the  fame  of  New  England's  elms  has 
spread  far  and  wide.  The  American 
elm  is  not  suitable  for  planting  under 
hard  conditions  in  city  streets;  it  loves 
a  rich,  moist  soil,  with  plenty  of  room 
for  development;  for  wide  suburban 
streets  and  for  waysides  it  is"  a  grand 
tree." 


The  demand  for  elms  of  good  size  is 
so  strong  that  to  find  a  number  of  trees 
of  fairly  large  caliper,  one  like  unto  the 
other,  is  no  easy  task,  as  a  number  of 
the  landscape  architects  who  have  tried 
it  recently  have  found.  Several  park 
plantings  of  elms  have  been  delayed, 
or  other  stock  used,  because  of  the  dif- 
ficulty of  finding  enough  elms  that  were 
of  the  right  size  and  which  would 
match  up. 


PRIVET  CUTTINGS. 

Referring  to  R.  R.  in  the  Review  of 
February  28,  page  1126,  cuttings  of  all 
hard-wooded  plants  should  be  taken  off 
in  the  fall,  before  sharp,  freezing 
weather,  and  at  once  made  up  into  cut- 
tings of  the  proper  length  and  heeled  in 
in  moist  sand  in  a  cool  cellar  Hntil 
spring,  so  that  the  lower  ends  may  cal-, 
lous,  ready  for  rooting  when  planted. 

I  think  there  are  not  many  places 
north  of  Mason  and  Dixon's  line  where 
California  privet  is  not  too  much  injured 
by  freezing  to  do  at  all  for  cuttings;  in 
fact,  in  many  places  the  entire  top  is 
perfectly  dead  to  the  ground.  I  think 
the  Amoor  River  privet  is  much  better 
than  the  California.  Though  quite  similar 
in  appearance  and  growth,  it  is  now 
green  to  the  very  tips,  while  the  Cali- 
fornia near  it  is  entirely  dead  to  below 
the  surface.  E.  Y.  Teas. 


TO  REGULATE  SALE  OF  PLANTS 

The  following  is  the  text  of  '  *  An  Act 
to  regulate  the  sale  of  Plants,  Trees, 
Shrubbery,  Etc.,  and  to  provide  against 
the  spread  of  Infectious  Diseases  among 
Plants,  Trees,  bnrubbery.  Etc.,  and  for 
the  Inspection  of  Nursery  Stock,  owned 
or  sold  by  Companies  or  Corporations 
doing  a  Nursery  Business  in  the  State 
of  Minnesota,"  now  pending  in  the  Min- 
nesota legislature: 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  state  entomolo- 
gist, or  bis  assistant,  to  inspect  all  companies 
or  corporations  doing  a  nursery  business  In 
Minnesota,  who  are  engaged  in  tlie  growing, 
shipping  or  selling  of  ornamental  trees,  fruit 
trees  and  shrubbery  of  all  Iclnds;  such  Inspec- 
tion to  occur  not  less  than  twice  each  year, 
and  for  which  the  owner,  or  owners,  of  each 
nursery  shall  pay  an  inspection  fee  of  $1U.  None 
of  the  trees,  shrubbery,  vines,  and  other  plants 
offered  for  sale,  found  to  be  affected  by  the  San 
Jose  scale,  or  other  infectious  plant  troubles,  by 
said  inspector,  shall  be  offered  for  sale,  but 
shall  be  immediately  destroyed,  or  before  being  . 
offered  for  sale  shall  be  tagged  with  tags 
containing  the  announcement  that  the  same  are 
infected  by  infectious  plant  disease,  the  tags 
to  be  secured  of  the  entomologist  at  the  rate 
of  50  cents  per  hundred. 

All  companies  or  corporations  engaged  in  the 
nursery  business  in  this  state  shall  annually 
apply  to  the  secretary  of  state,  the  fee  to  be 
^0  for  each  annual  license,  together  with  an 
additional  fee  of  $1  for  recording  the  applica- 
tion, and  the  said  license  must  be  secured  be- 
fore said  nursery  or  nurseries  dispose  of  trees, 
shrubbery,  vines,  etc.,  of  said  nursery,  and 
before  the  secretary  of  state  shall  Issue  such 
license  the  state  entomologist  must  first  Issue 
his  certificate  that  said  nursery  or  nurseries  are 
free  from  the  said  San  Jose  scale  or  other  plant 
infectious  diseases. 

Whenever  any  nursery  owner  of  this  state 
ships,  or  causes  to  be  shipped,  the  trees,  plants, 
shrubbery,  vines,  etc.,  produced  by  a  nursery 
in  any  other  state,  the  same,  before  they  are 
offered  for  sale,  shall  contain  a  tag  or  tags 
announcing  the  place  where  the  same  were  first 
grown,  and  the  advertising  of  nursery  stoclc 
grown  in  a  foreign  state  as  "home  grown"  Is 
hereby  declared  to  be  a   misdemeanor. 

Whenever  any  nursery  in  this  state  trans- 
plants, or  causes  to  be  transplanted,  any  of 
its  product  or  products,  or  the  products  of  a 
nursery  of  this  or  another  state,  before  the 
same  is  again  offered  for  sale,  the  product  or 
products  shall  be  marlced  "transplanted"  and 
the  failure  to  do  so  is  hereby  declared  to  be  a 
misdemeanor. 

For  the  purpose  of  preventing  the  spread  of 
the  so-called  San  Jose  scale,  or  other  infections 
plant  diseases,  the  state  entomologist,  or  bis 
assistant,  who  may  be  appointed  by  him.  Is 
hereby  authorized  and  empowered  to  have  and

BUYING  TREES  AND  SHRUBS. 

The  National  Council  of  Horticulture, 
in  one  of  its  press  bulletins,  gives  the 
following  advice: 

"If  possible  the  purchaser  of  trees  or 
shrubs  should  choose  his  purchases  from 
growing  stock  that  he  views  and  con- 
siders with  regard  to  his  especial  require- 
ments. A  gardener  should  select  with 
the  utmost  care  everything  of  a  perma- 
nent nature  that  he  puts  in  his  garden. 
Especially  is  this  the  ease  with  fruit- 
bearing  trees  and  shrubs.  The  best  is 
the  cheapest,  it  being  more  economical  to 
destroy  a  poor  specimen  than  to  waste 
time  and  effort  trying  to  make  a  good 
plant  of  it.  The  same  applies  to  a  rose 
bush  or  any  ornamental  plant. 

"The  buyer  who  orders  haphazard 
from  a  nurseryman's  catalogue  without 
either  seeing  the  plants  he  is  purchasing, 
or  giving  the  seller  an  idea  of  his  spe- 
cial requirements,  will  be  lucky  if  disap- 
pointment is  not  his  lot.  Quality,  and 
not  quantity,  should  always  be  the 
watchword  of  the  gardener,  since  a  sin- 
gle rose  bush  of  surpassing  beauty  will 
give  more  pleasure  than  a  dozen  that 
are  failures. 

"If  it  is  impossible  for  the  purchaser 
to  visit  a  nursery  and  make  his  own  se- 
lections, he  should  obtain  expert  advice 
from  someone  who  understands  how  to 
order  with  specifications  that  will  insure 
stock  of  the  right  sort  being  delivered, 
and  who  knows  what  variety  will  be  best 
suited  to  tbe  given  conditions. 

"Advice  of  this  sort  may  be  obtained 
from  the  nurserymen  themselves  and  the 
purchaser  will  do  well  to  write  for  sug- 
gestions on  all  points  he  does  not  thor- 
oughly understand.  But  a  trip  to  the 
nursery,  where  all  varieties  may  be  seen 
growing,  and  the  various  specimens  com- 
pared will  be  productive  of  information 
enough  to  make  it  profitable  to  any  ama- 
teur wherever  it  is  possible."

WILLIAM  SAUNDERS 

The  floweri  are  large,  of  splendid  form,  and  are  borne  very  freely  in  immenae  olusterB. 
The  color  is  a  deep  rich  Bblnlnc  scarlet  slightly  dappled  with  crimson.  Foliage  Is  a  ricli 
bronse.  Height,  SH  to  4  feet.  We  believe  that  Wn.  Saaaden  is  decidedly  the  most  perfect 
Oanna  of  this  type  that  has  been  introduced.    60c  each;  $5.00  per  doz.;  $85.00  per  100. 

OTTAWA 

Is  a  strong  grower,  very  robust  and  5  to  6  feet  high.  The  flowers  are  large  and  beaa- 
tifully  formed,  color  is  carmine  with  tints  of  old  rose  and  deep  coral,  add  to  this  the  silken 
sheen  and  you  can  imagine  the  effect  a  few  plants  will  produce. 

NOTE— We  had  this  Oanna  on  trial  among  the  Oanadlan  experimental  stations  last 
summer  and  this  is  the  official  report  of  their  expert:  "Quite  distinct  and  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  shades  of  color  I  ever  saw  in  Oannas.  Of  70  massed  In  one  bed  daring  tbe  past 
season,  this  was  the  most  floriferous  in  tbe  collection,  coming  into  bloom  early  and  con- 
tinuing until  cut  down  by  frost,  as  many  as  18  expanded  beads  of  blooms  being  counted  at 
one  time  on  a  plant,  and  not  a  poor  one  among  them,  all  being  of  Immense  size."  50c  each; 
$5.00  per  doz.;  $85.00  per  100. 

NEW  YORK 

Has  the  Orchid  type  of  flower.  They  have  much  more  substance  than  the  flowers  of 
the  other  varieties  of  this  class,  and  will  stand  the  hot  sunshine  as  well  as  the  toughest 
varieties  of  cannas.  Tbe  color  is  a  solid  rich  scarlet  covered  with  a  beautiful  glowing  sheen. 
The  flowers  are  large  and  contrast  beautifully  with  the  dark  bronze  foliage.  60o  each;

San  Diego,  Cal. — The  Southern  Con- 
struction Co.  is  planning  to  start  two 
large  palm  nurseries.  Miles  of  streets 
of  this  aity  are  to  be  ornamented  with 
the  choicest  palms  in  California,  set 
thirty  feet  apart.

The  Market 


The  weather  has  been  favorable  for 
flowers  for  the  last  week  and  every- 
thing has  been  plentiful,  except  good 
roses,  and  they  are  at  a  premium  just 
now.  There  has  been  no  really  good 
stock  of  Beauties  offered  oy  the  grow- 
ers for  the  last  month,  but  from  ap- 
pearances we  can  expect  a  heavy  cut- 
ting in  good  season  for  Easter.  Carna- 
tions remain  stationary  in  price,  with 
a  slight  shortage  of  the  white  varie- 
ties. There  are  plenty  of  light  pink 
and  Enchantress  to  be  liad,  and  the 
quality  is  good. 

Bulbous  stock  is  still  in  evidence, 
especially  the  later  sorts  of  daffodils. 
Narcissi  are  over  for  the  season  and 
valley  is  plentiful  and  in  fair  demand. 
Some  Harrisii  are  ready  and  these  cost 
the  retailers  $2  per  dozen.  The  out- 
look for  Easter  lilies  is  good  and  from 
present  appearances  there  will  be 
ample  stock  to  tin  all  requirements. 

Violets  are  getting  scarcer  and  we 
do  not  expect  they  will  last  for  over  a 
few  weeks  at  the  most.  Sweet  peas 
have  made  their  appearance  and  are 
the  first  of  the  spring  flowers  to  be 
had.  They  sell  at  $1  per  dozen  bunches, 
but  are  expected  to  be  much  cheaper 
after  Easter. 

Green  stuff,  both  wild  and  cultivated, 
with  the  possible  exception  of  smilax, 
is  now  plentiful  enough  to  supply  all 
wants  and  the  famine  that  has  been 
experienced  by  all  the  retailers  is  now 
at  an  end. 

Business  has  been  fair  for  this  sea- 
son of  the  year  and  all  are  looking  for- 
ward to  a  prosperous  Easter.

CARNATIONS  ON  THE  COAST. 

I  am  located  about  six  miles  from 
the  Pacific  ocean  and  about  midway  be- 
tween San  Francisco  and  Portland.  I 
should  like  to  grow  carnations  in  the 
open  ground  for  cut  flowers  for  the 
wholesale  trade.  Can  you  tell  me  what 
varieties  would  succeed  best  in  this 
situation?  D.  M. 

There  will  be  no  diflBculty  in  growing 
carnations  anywhere  in  the  neighborhood 
referred  to  during  the  spring  and  sum- 
mer months,  but  to  produce  flowers  late 
in  the  fall  and  during  the  winter  would 
be  out  of  the  question.  Carnations  can 
be  and  are  grown  outdoors  with  success 
anywhere  along  the  coast  below  San- 
Francisco  down  to  San  Diego,  but  when 
they  are  planted  north  of  there  they  pro- 
duce but  little  during  the  season  of  the 
year  they  are  most  in  demand. 

Unless  in  some  favored  locality  in  our 
southern  country,  the  carnation  as  an 
outdoor  bloomer  is  not  considered  to  be 
a  very  profitable  proposition.  The  pub- 
lic taste  has  gradually  been  educated  up 
to  a  point  where  hothouse  flowers  are  de- 
manded and,  although  the  outdoor  prod- 
uct is  used  to  a  certain  extent,  they  do 
not  bring  more  thJfn  a  fraction  of  the 
price    paid   for   indoor  stock. 

At  the  season  of  the  year  when  there 
would  be  an  abundance  of  flowers  in 
the  region  described  by  D.  M.  they 
would  be  brought  into  competition  with 
the  much  finer  indoor  stock  and  the 
prices  would  hardly  pay  for  their  care 
for  the  balance  of  the  season. 

Regarding  the  best  varieties  for  gar- 
den planting,  I  have  found  that  Estelle 
is  so  far  the  most  satisfactory  of  the 
scarlet  sorts,  although  old  Portia  is  also 
a  splendid  bloomer,  but  the  blossoms 
are  not  so  large  or  double.  Of  the  deep 
pink  varieties  I  prefer  Ethel  Crocker 
to  anything  else  for  this  latitude.  Wm. 
Scott  is  probably  the  next  best.  Lawson 
is  of  no  value  as  a  garden  variety  and 
E.  Schwerin  is  not  as  good  a  color  out- 
doors as  it  is  under  glass.  Fiancee  and 
Nelson  Fisher  are  not  good  outdoor  sorts 
here. 

Of  tho  whites,  Flora  Hill  is  better 
than  anything  else.  Boston  Market  is 
a  splendid  bloomer  but  the  flowers  are 
not  of  good  size,'  and  Queen  Louise 
bursts  badly.  Harlowarden  is  the  most 
satisfactory  of  the  dark  reds  and   John

Carbon  is  a  splendid  yellow  striped  sort. 
Mrs.  Patten  has  not  been  a  success  and 
Enchantress  and  Prosperity  are  worth- 
less. 

Should  the  writer  have  an  opportunity 
to  try  his  success  with  carnations  under 
glass  he  will  have  a  much  greater  num- 
ber of  varieties  to  select  from,  but  for 
garden  sorts  with  the  intention  of  mar- 
keting them,  a  few  kinds  will  be  all  that 
should  be  used. 

Some  success  has  attended  the  grow- 
ing of  carnations  from  seed.  Good 
strains  of  the  marguerite  type  or  picotees 
make  admirable  flower  producers  and,  al- 
though the  blossoms  are  not  to  be  com- 
pared with  the  hothouse  product,  their 
freedom  of  bloom  makes  them  of  some 
value.  G.

The  Market. 


< Every  member  of  the  craft  is  now 
most  actively  preparing  for  the  great 
Easter  business  that  we  daily  feel  com- 
ing stronger  and  nearer.  Conditions 
could  not  be  better  than  they  are  in 
Columbus  for  an  enormous  business; 
the  sunless  weather,  which  lasted  so 
long,  has  certainly  whetted  our  cus- 
tomers' desires  for  flowers  to  a  point 
where  they  will  buy  lavishly.  It  is  still 
an  uncertain  factor,  regarding  the  sup- 
ply of  good  stock  that  will  be  available 
here.  As  regards  lilies,  the  reports  are 
mixed.  With  some  they  have  done  well 
and  will  come  about  right,  but  in  places 
the  disease  has  shown  itself  badly;  in 
fact,  at  least  half  the  bulbs  that  were 
started  have  already  been  thrown  out. 
There  seems  to  be  less  disease  among  the 
Harrisii  than  any  others.  If  the  fine, 
sunny  days  we  are  now  having  continue, 
roses  and  carnations  will  be  in  good 
form.  As  regards  flowering  plants  of 
all  kinds,  the  supply  is  large  and  of 
good  quality;  this  is  due  no  doubt  to 
everyone  making  a  special  effort  with 
plants — we  fell  down  so  flat  on  them 
last  year.  Give  us  good  weather  Easter 
week,  is  all  we  ask.

The  Florists*  Qub. 

Our  club  held  its  first  meeting  of  the 
month  March  12,  with  President  Sher- 
man F.  Stephens  in  the  chair.  The  im- 
portant matter  of  the  evening  was  the 
question  as  to  whether  the  penny  pack- 
■ets  of  flower  and  vegetable  seeds,  which 
have  been  put  up  for  the  school  children, 
«hould  be  given  to  them  or  whether  the 
packets  should  be  paid  for  by  the 
-children.  Our  club  is  a  unit  in  believing 
that  it  is  for  the  good  of  the  children 
that  they  pay  the  few  pennies  neces- 
sary. To  arrange  this  matter  the  club 
has  appointed  M.  B.  Faxon,  Sherman  F. 
Stephens  and  R.  A.  Currie  as  a  com- 
mittee to  confer  with  the  Columbus 
board  of  education. 

The  display  of  plants  and  flowers  at 
this  meeting  was  the  best  of  the  season 
thus  far.  The  prize  committee  for  the 
evening,  consisting  of  Messrs.  Torrey, 
Brust,  Meitzmaier,  "Williams  and  Monk, 
awarded  to  I.  D.  Siebert,  for  a  fine 
Mme.  Vander  Cruyssen  azalea,  twenty 
points;  R.  A.  Currie,  for  Spiraea 
superba,  fifteen  points;  Sherman  F. 
■Stephens,  for  Murillo  tulips,  fifteen

kroon  tulips,  ten  points,  and  for  a  good

night,  we  shortened  the  business  part

to  entertaining  our  guests. 

Various  Notei. 

N.  J.  Wietor,  of  Wietor  Bros.,  Chi- 
cago, has  been  for  several  days  seeing 
our  city  as  the  guest  of  William  Graff, 
of  Graff  Bros.  Mr.  "Wietor  is  of  the 
-opinion    that    Easter    will    see    a    great 


business,  with  plenty  of  stock,  with  the 
exception  of   lilies. 

W.  P.  Sharp  is  advertising  nursery 
stock  in  our  local  papers  that  he  "guar- 
antees to  grow." 

"Without  question  the  most  elaborate 
and  extensive  floral  decorations  ever  at- 
tempted in  this  city  were  planned  and 
arranged  by  0.  B.  Springer,  for  the 
opening  of  the  department  stores  of  the 
David  C.  Begga.  Co.  For  this  decora- 
tion the  Livingston  Seed  Co.  supplied 
bay  trees,  palms,  ferns  and  other 
foliage  plants  to  the  number  of  over 
500.  Large  quantities  of  carnations  and 
roses  were  also  used  in  vases.  From 
Marshall  Field  &  Co.,  of  Chicago,  came 
a  glorious  bunch  of  American  Beauty 
roses. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Pleasant 
Ridge  Improvement  Association  it  was 
recommended  that  Norway  maples  be 
planted  as  street  trees  in  this  city. 

Graff  Bros,  took  advantage  of  the 
lower  rates  for  carnations  to  have  one 
of  their  special  sales,  and  disposed  of  an 
enormous  quantity  at  35  cents  per  dozen. 
This  firm  received  many  orders  for 
green  carnations  for  St.  Patrick's  day. 

Last  Saturday  the  Livingston  Seed 
Co.  had  its  usual  before  Easter  flowering 
plant  sale  at  popular  prices. 

The  Fifth  Avenue  Floral  Co.  has  an 
especially  good  stock  of  both  flowers 
and  plants  coming  on  for  the  Easter 
trade.  Their  azaleas  are  the  best  I 
have  seen. 

Gustavo  Drobish  at  his  stand  on  the 
central  market  is  doing  a  good  business 
in  plants  of  all  kinds  at  popular  prices. 
Saturday  being  the  great  market  day, 
trade  is  always  the  best. 


John  "Williams  has  a  quantity  of 
blooming  geraniums  that  will  bring  good 
prices  at  Easter. 

The  new  carnation  houses  of  John  R. 
Hellenthal  are  attracting  much  attention 
from  the  craft  here.  Charles  M.  Jones, 
the  grower,  is  certainly  turning  out 
some   prime   flowers.  Zero. 


HYDROCYANIC  ACID  GAS. 

I  have  a  small  greenhouse  filled  with 
miscellaneous  material,  and  at  this  time 
of  the  year  with  annual  and  perennial 
seedlings.  Three  years  ago  someone  pre- 
sented me  with  a  bunch  of  white  fly 
whose  capacity  to  increase  cannot  be 
questioned.  Sweet  alyssum,  lantana 
and  fuchsia  are  their  favorites.  I  want 
to  reduce  the  ravages  of  the  white  fly 
and  am  afraid  to  use  hydrocyanic  acid 
gas  on  account  of  the  seedlings,  some 
just  sprouting.  My  idea  is  to  remove 
early  in  the  morning,  when  I  under- 
stand the  fly  is  inclined  to  be  dormant, 
those  plants  most  affected  into  the 
boiler  room  and  fumigate.  The  cubic 
feet  of  this  room  is  1,380  feet.  How 
much  gas  should  be  used?      "W.  C.  E. 


Gas  carefully  used  will  injure  very 
few  of  the  most  tender  plants.  "We 
have  tried  it  on  maidenhair  ferns,  vio- 
lets, heliotropes  and  other  plants  which 
ordinary  tobacco  fumigation  will  soon 
ruin,  and  rarely  found  any  resultant 
injury.  "We  are  afraid  if  the  seedling 
boxes  are  all  moved  out  that  many  of 
the  white  fly  will  escape.  The  danger 
of  injury  from  this  method  of  fumiga- 
tion increases  as  the  weather  comes 
warmer.  In  midwinter  our  plants  have 
never  sustained  any  harm,  but  in  sum- 
mer some  leaves  have  suffered.  This, 
of  course,  applies  to  all  fumigants  con- 
taining  nicotine  as  well. 

For  a  house  of  1,380  cubic  feet  wo 
would  recommend  using  one  pint  water, 
one  pint  sulphuric  acid,  ninety-eight  to 
ninety-nine  per  cent  grade,  and  two  and 
one-half  ounces  potassium  cyanide.  Pour 
the  acid  on  the  water,  using  a  stone  jar, 
then  drop  in  the  cyanide,  which  should 
for  safety  be  wrapped  in  two  thick- 
nesses of  paper.  Go  right  out  of  the 
house,  lock  the  door  and  permit  no  one 
to  enter  until  next  day.  This  fumiga- 
tion ought  to  be  repeated  in  three  or 
four  days,  and  then  we  believe  you  will 
not  find  many  traces  of  the  enemy.  If 
you  have  any  means  of  ventilating  with- 
out entering  the  house,  some  air  may 
be  given  after  forty  minutes'  exposure. 
"We  usually,  however,  allow  it  to  stay  in 
all  night.  C.  W.

Vegetable  Forcing. 

Vegetable  growers  will  be  interested 
in  the  illustrated  notes  on  the  establish- 
ment of  Wm.  Sim,  Cliftondale,  Mass., 
which  appears  on  another  page  of  this 
issue. 

The  members  of  the  Market  Garden- 
ers' Association  at  Peoria,  111.,  of -which 
Wm.  Seibold  is  president  and  George 
Schofl  secretary,  resent  insinuations  that 
they  have  formed  a  trust.  They  say  their 
purpose  is  not  to  raise  prices  except  by 
preventing  the  market  being  glutted.

HEAD  LETTUCE. 

Please  give  me,  and  other  interested 
readers,  some  idea  of  an  average  cut  of 
head  lettuce  from  a  bench  4x22  feet. 

M.  C.  S. 


In  a  bench  four  feet  wide  you  can 
accommodate  five  rows.  Allowing  your 
piants  to  be  set  eight  inches  apart,  your 
bench  will  contain  about  1,500  plants. 
With  suitable  facilities  and  good  culti- 
vation, there  should  be  little  or  no  loss, 
so  that  the  numoer  of  plants  will  prac- 
tically give  you  the   amount  of  cut. 

If  you  mean  to  grow  lettuce  through- 
out the  season,  you  ought  to  be  able  to 
produce  three  crops.  The  firsf  crop, 
sown  at  the  end  of  August  and  kept 
moving,  will  be  ready  to  cut  in  Decem- 
ber and  ought  to  be  all  cleared  off,  so 
that  you  can  plant  the  second  (having 
the  plants  ready)  by  January  1.  This 
second  crop  should  be  cleared  ott  by  the 
middle  of  March  and  th6  third  crop 
planted.  The  spring  crop  will  come  along 
faster  than  the  others  and  should  be 
ready  for  cutting  by  the  middle  of  May. 

This  is  allowing  plenty  of  time  for 
each  crop,  but  the  time  they  will  take 
in  the  bench  will  depend  a  good  deal 
on  the  size  and  quality  of  your  plants 
at  time  of  planting.  We  have  cut  let- 
tuce six  weeks  from  time  of  planting, 
but  this  is  the  exception,  not  the  rule. 
It  is  quite  possible  to  get  your  plants 
too  large,  in  which  case  a  check  would 
result  in  planting  which  would  have  the 
effect  of  stunting  growth.  Although  your 
plants  would  head  up  they  would  lack 
size.      Only    experience    will    teach    you 


the  proper  stage  at  which  to  plant  for 
quickest  returns  and  best  results. 

On  the  other  hand,  it  would  not  pay  to 
plant  too  small,  as  you  would  be  losing 
time  in  having  your  bench  occupied 
longer  than  necessary.  Of  course  it  takes 
some  time  and  trouble  to  handle  them 
in  flats,  but  our  experience  is  that  it 
pays  to  handle  them  in  that  way,  as 
they  take  up  so  much  less  room  for  al- 
most half  the  time  required  for  their 
growth.  W.  S.  Croydon. 

SEEDTIME  PLEASURES. 

I've  Just  reeelTed  a  catalogue 

Fresh   from  the  seedsman's  store, 
A  gorgeous  book  of  fruits  and  flowers 

And  veg' tables  galore; 
And  I  can  hardly  wait  until 

The  winter's  Ice  and  snow 
Melt  from  my  well-loved  garden  plot 

To  spade  and  rake  and  hoe. 

For  in  this  catalogue  I  find 

New  radishes  and  peas. 
Six  kinds  of  lettuce,  eight  of  corn — 

I  want  to  try  all  these; 
CucumBers   slim,    cucumbers    fat, 

And   limas  short  and  tall. 
And  melons,   cabbage,    beets   and  greens — 

I  want  to  try  them  all. 

Tomatoes,   ten  varieties. 

And  onions  white  and  red. 
Asparagus  and  celery — 

I  want  of  each  a  bed, 
And   turnips  early,    turnips  late. 

Potatoes  by   the   score, 
And  squashes,  my!  don't  say  a  word, 

A  dozen  kinds  or  more. 

I  herewith  thank  the  seedsman  kind 

For  sending  me  his  book, 
When  all  these  things  are  coming  on, 

How  pretty   they  will  look  I 
And  when  the  frost  has  left  the  ground, 

Amidst  the  robin's  song, 
I'm  going  to  plant  my  total  plot — 

Twelve  feet  by  twenty  long!

York,  Pa. — A  blaze  was  started  in  the

New  Double  Petunia  THE  QUEEN 

The  new  Petunia  THE  QUEEN  has  been  grown  by  us  for  the  past  five  years.  It  is  a 
wonderful  bloomer,  the  flowers  are  of  an  enormous  size  and  measure  from  four  to  four  and 
one-half  inches  in  diameter.  The  flowers  are  white,  mingled  with  purple,  very  nicely  fringed, 
making  one  of  the  handsomest  plants  grown.  It  is  an  early  bloomer,  in  fact,  one  of  the  best 
sellers  for  Decoration  Day.  THE  QUEEN9  planted  outdoors  will  continue  to  bloom  all 
summer.     The  flowers  can  be  used  to  good  advantage  in  design  work. 

Strone  Plants,  from  2>^-lncb  pots,  $1.50  per  doz.;    $10.00  per  100;    $90.00  per  fOOO. 
Nice,  strons  rooted  cuttlnca,  $5.00  per  100.    Tbey  will  make  4-ln.  plants  full  of  bloom  for  Decoration  Day.

PITTSBURG. 


The  Flood  Sufferers. 

Tlic  t('rril)lo  Hood,  wliicli  hwcpt  ovor 
our  city  Ijist  Aveek  ami  caused  uiillions 
of  dollars'  dainayc,  did  not  iicylcct  tiio 
florists. 

Mrs.  K.  A.  Williams  had  just  iinishetl 
[lultiujr  her  shop  in  its  best  sha[)('  for 
Kastcr  when  the  Hood  came  and  there 
was  iive  feet  of  water  in  the  .store. 
.Most  of  the  fiirnishiiijis  will  be  de- 
stroyed and  telephone  seryice  is  out  of 
(•ommission   at   this   writing. 

1j.  I.  Ncff  was  another  sutt'erer,  with 
altout  three  feet  of  water  in  his  store. 
JIo  will  have  losses  on  fixtures,  besides 
a  (luaiitity  of  see<ls  he  was  unal)l('  to 
get    out. 

In  the  store  of  lilind  Bros,  there  was 
Avater  as  higii  as  the  counter  and,  while 
they  were  able  to  get  most  of  the  stock 
out  of  the  water,  their  ice-boxes  ;nid 
fixtures  will  all  have  to  l)e  refinished. 

A.  M.  Murdoch  found  about  three 
feet  of  water  in  his  work-room,  which 
is  in  the  basement.  As  the  water  was 
ne\('r  known  to  reach  so  far  u|)lowii  he 
ha<l  not  made  any  ])reparations  for  it 
an<l   «o    suff«»red    some    losses. 

Several  inches  of  water  covered  the 
floor  of  the  Pittsburg  Florists'  Kx- 
i'liange,  but  it  was  soon  out  and  tlid  not 
<lo    much    damage. 

.1.  H.  Murdoch  &  Co.,  while  not  dam- 
aged l)y  water,  were  surroiuided  by  the 
flo(»<l    and    could    not    do    business. 

The  sub-cellar  of  the  Pittsl>urg  Cut 
Klower  Co.  was  filled  with  water,  wliich 
causeil  considerable  extra  work  getting 
out  stock  which  was  stored  there.  There 
also  was  ditticulty  getting  in  Howers  to 
take  care  of  the  trade.  The  Pittsburg 
Hose  and  Carnation  Co.  was  tied  up,  as 
far  as  railroad  servi<e  was  concerned, 
but  loaded  its  stock  on  wagons  and 
drove  the  twenty  miles,  ]iart  of  it 
through  water,  but  many  of  the  grow- 
ers couhl  not  do  this,  as  they  were  en- 
tirely   cut    of!'. 

Theixlore  F.  Heckert,  on  Neville  Is- 
lan<l,  was  surrounded  by  water  and,  it 
is  believe<l,  he  must  liave  had  heavy 
los!4es;  ])ut,  as  there  is  no  telephone 
connection,  no  j>ositive  information  can 
be    had. 

One  of  the  worst  results  of  the  flood 
hits  been  the  ruining  of  all  the  under- 
ground telephone  wires  in  the  lower  end 
of  the  city,  and  the  wholesale  houses 
are  the  worst  sufferers,  as  most  of  their 
busiiu'ss  in  and  out  of  the  city  was  by 
telephone.  '     Hoo-Hoo.

The  Weddf  Florists'  Review. 


f  " 


March  21,  1907. 


KANSAS  C3TY. 


The  Market 


Stock  is  plentiful,  especially  carna- 
tions and  daffodils.  Tulips  are  scarce 
and  red  tulips  have  been  hard  to  find. 
Few  Eoman  hyacinths  are  to  be  seen. 
American  Beauties  are  not  plentiful  at 
present  and  prices  are  high.  Violets, 
the  home-grown  singles,  are  equal  to  the 
demand.  Greens  of  all  kinds  are  scarce. 
There  is  no  wild  smilax  in  this  market 
and  there  will  probably  be  no  more  this 
spring,  so  we  will  have  to  look  to  Chi- 
cago for  our  supply.  Fern  leaves  and 
galax  are  scarce. 

Good  Dutch  hyacinths  are  not  so  plen- 
tiful; many  of  them  are  being  held  back 
for  Easter. 

Easter  lilies  will  be  scarce.  Many 
orders  for  plants  and  palms  for  Easter 
have  been  placed  with  some  florists  and 
some  church  orders  have  been  placed  a 
month  ahead. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Dalley  has  the  best  looking  show 
in  her  store  of  any  on  Eleventh  street. 
Her  tulip  display  is  fine  and  causes  a 
great  deal  of  comment. 

Miss  Murray's  large  show  window  on 
Grand  avenue  causes  every  one  to  notice 
the  art  in  which  it  is  arranged.  There 
is  a  .millinery  store  in  with  Miss  Mur- 
ray and  the  Easter  bonnets /are  inter- 
mingled with  fancy  pots  of  blooming 
plants.  \ 

Geo.  M.  Kellogg 's  store  is  pretty  this 
week.  He  has  azalea**  in  full  bloom  in 
great  profusion,  mostly  white.  Mr.  Kel- 
logg says  that  everything  is  doing  fine 
at  the  greenhouses.  His  success  with 
bulb  stock  is  better  this  '.year  than 
any  previous  year,  with  the  exception  of 
his  Easter  lilies;  he  will  no*  have  tue 
bulk  of  them  in  for  Easter.  He  has 
been  cutting  quite  a  number  ever  since 
Christmas.  He  is  now  picking  5,000 
violets  a  day  and  expects  to  put  up  a 
large  house  for  violets  this  summer.  He 
says  that  he  will  grow  many  more  and 
larger  ones.  Business  at  the  store  has 
been  on  the  increase  ever  since  the  first 
of  the  year,  under  the  management  of 
Mrs.  Lamb.  Mr.  Kellogg  is  looking  for 
a  location  in  the  southern  part  of  the 
city  on  which  to  build  a  store. 

R.  S.  Brown  &  Co.  are  busy  packing 
orders  and  shipping  plants.  Most  of 
the  orders  go  south  at  this  time  of  the 
year.  All  of  the  packing  is  done  at 
the  Kansas  City  greenhouses.  They  is- 
sue a  wholesale  and   retail  catalogue.

LORRAINE  BEGONIAS. 

Please  let  me  know  the  care  of 
Begonia  (Jloire  de  Lorraine  after  it 
has  (lone  flowering.  1  want  to  know 
how  to  propagate  from  it  and  all  about 
the  raising  of  it.  K.  F.  E.  S. 


Begonia  (Moire  de  Jjorraine  after 
flowering  should  have  all  the  shoots 
shortened  hack  to  within  six  inches  of 
tlie  ])ot,  jtlace  on  a  sunny  bencii,  keep 
a  little  on  the  dry  side  for  a  time, 
syringe  overhead  until  they  start  to 
l>reak  freely  from  the  bottom,  when 
syringing  may  be  discontinued.  When 
the  young  sprouts  are  two  to  three 
inches  long,  rub  them  ott*  witii  a  heel,  or 
cut  underneath  a  leaf  with  a  sharp 
knife,  insert  in  sharp  sand  in  a  tem- 
perature of  (51)  degrees  at  night.  The 
sand  should  have  a  good  warmth,  say 
75  degrees,  in  which  case  with  careful 
watering,  shading,  etc.,  they  sliould 
nearly  all  root.  Pot  off  "wlien  rooted 
into  2-inch  ])ots,  using  a  light  leaf- 
mold  c()inj)ost.  With  eacii  successive 
shift  a  slightly  heavier"  comj)ost  may 
be  given.  At  the  final  jiotting  use  a 
good  j)roj>ortion  of  old,  well  dried  cow 
manure  in  the  loam  with  a  little  char- 
coal and  a  good  dasii  of  sharj)  sand. 
These  ])lants  grow  slowly  in  summer 
but  start  to  make  headway  after  the 
end  of  August.  ('.  W. 


CINERARIAS. 

When  is  the  best  time  to  sow  cineraria 
seed  and  what  is  the  right  temperature 
to  grow  it  inf  K.   F.  E.  S. 

Cinerarias  may  be  sown  from  May  to 
August.  For  general  conmiercial  ])ur- 
poses  the  end  of  July  is  sufficiently 
early.  Keep  the  seed  })ans  as  cool  and 
moist  as  possible.  The  young  j)lants 
are  best  grown  in  coldframes  until 
danger  of  sharjt  frost  threatens  them. 
They  prefer  a  cool  house  at  all  times 
and  need  shade  even  in  winter.     ('.  W.

Aristocrat 


Aristocrat 


The  cuttinRS  we  now  have  ready  will  fill  all  orders  now  on  band,  with  100,000  cuttings  put  in  the  Band  the  past 
ten  days  which  will  be  ready  for  April  delivery. 

We  have  our  propagating  houses  full  of  cuttings  and  there  are  fully  100,000  fine  cuttings  on  the  plants  ready  to 
take  off,  but  we  lack  room  to  propagate  them,  therefore  we  are  ofTering  these  UNROOTKD  ARISTOCRAT  for 
immediate  delivery  for  $60.00  per  1000. 

Aristocrat^is  a  very  easy  rooter.    We  have  lost  less  than  10  per  cent  in  the  propagating  bench. 

Aristocrat  is  a  wonderfully  free  bloomer,  a  clean,  healthy  grower  and  a  very  quick  grower,  therefore  it  is  not  too 
late  for  Aristocrat— the  variety  most  every  florist  will  grow. 

Rooted  cuttings  for  April,  $12.00  per  100;  $100.00  per  1000.  UNROOTKD  CUTTINGS,  ready  now,  $7.00  per  100;

TWIN  QTIES. 


The  Market. 


Trade  conditions  have  not  changed 
much  during  the  last  week.  Business 
has  kept  up  fairly  well  and  stock  is 
plentiful.  The  growers  are  maKing  a 
supreme  effort  to  get  everything  in  for 
Easter  and,  from  the  looks  of  the  stock 
at  the  present  time,  one  can  safely  say 
that  a  large  percentage  of  the  lilies 
will  be  in  good  shape;  with  some  it 
will  require  considerable  forcing,  vfhich 
is  now  being  done  quite  extensively. 
The  quality  of  the  stock  was  never  bet- 
ter. The  foliage  is  a  rich,  deep  green 
and  the  flowers  are  large.  The  retailers 
who  have  no  glass  are  having  some  diffi- 
culty in  buying  fro^  local  growers,  as 
it  is  apparent  there  will  be  a  heavy  de- 
mand, with  only  a  nominal  supply.  Out- 
side points  are  drawing  quite  heavily  on 
the  growers  and,  as  they  have  ordered 
much  earlier  than  some  of  our  retailers, 
it  begins  to  look  as  though  a  great  many 
plants  will  be  shipped  in  from  the  east. 

.  St.PauL 

A  visit  to  the  establishment  of  Aug 
S.  Swanson  finds  a  full  line  of  Easter 
plants  in  good  shape.  He  already  has 
a  large  number  of  lilies  which  are  ready 
for  the  market  and  are  now  in  cool 
houses.  He  also  has  a  great  many  which 
are  being  forced,  and  will  be  in  at  the 
proper  time.  His  azaleas  are  better  this 
year  than  they  have  been  for  some  time. 
He  also  has  a  fine  lot  of  Baby  Eam- 
blers.  In  about  another  week  Mr.  Swan- 
son 's  new  rose,  Minnehaha,  will  be  in 
full  bloom.  Last  year  this  rose  attract- 
ed many  a  florist,  not  only  irdm  the 
Twin  Cities,  but  from  outside  points. 
He  cut  them  in  immense  numbers  and 
it  is  apparent  that  he  will  do  the  same 
this  year.  The  Chicago  market  is  par- 
ticularly active  on  the  above  rose. 

L.  L.  May  &  Co.  will  have  all  of  their 
lilies  in  and  as  fine  a  line  of  other  plants 
as  they  have  ever  had. 

Eetail  business  has  been  active  the 
last  week,  the  demand  to  a  large  ex- 
tent running  to  funeral  flowers. 

Holm  &  Olson  are  not  at  all  alarmed 
as  to  their  Easter  stock,  their  lilies  will 
all  be  in.  L.  G.  Venzke,  formerly  with 
E.  F.  Lemke,  is  now  with  Holm  &  Ol- 
son. Felix.

NKW  PINK  CARNATION  POR  1007 

Color— A  peculiar  shade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lighter  than  the  Law- 
son.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the  brightest  sun  does  not 
injure  the  color.  8t«e— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
established.  Odor  —  Pleasing,  but  not  strong. 
Steins— Invariably  strong,  but  always  graceful,  rang- 
ing from  12  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Habit, 
etc.— A  very  quick,  active  grower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  On  ac- 
count of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  very 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  away  rapidly,  blooms  early 
and  gives  long  stems  ri^ht  from  the  start.  Prodact. 
Iveneia — Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
use  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  and 
late,  we  have  evergrown.  Stock  limited.  No  discount. 
Price  tl2.Q0  per  100;  tlOO.QO  per  1000.

MARGUERITES. 

I  wish  to  grow  yellow  and  white  mar- 
guerites for  cutting  next  winter.  Please 
name  the  best  variety  in  each  color,  and 
treatment  of  plants,  so  they  will  be 
ready  to  bloom  by  winter.        R.  S.  B. 

Queen  Alexandra  we  consider  much 
the  best  white.  It  has  large  flowers  with 
a  double  anemone  center,  or  short,  white 
overlapping  petals.  Coronation  is  also 
an  excellent  white,  with  beautiful  large 
flowers.  The  yellow  Chrysanthemum 
frutescens  Etoile  d'Or  and  the  large 
flowering  variety,  grandiflorum,  are 
both  worth  growing.  The  first  named 
is  much  more  floriferous  than  the  lat- 
ter and  makes  a  decidedly  better  pot 
plant. 

For  winter  flowers,  cuttings  should  be 
rooted  now  and  grown  along  in  pots  all 
summer,  keeping  them  (pinched  from 
time  to  time  and  plunged  in  a  frame  or 
in  the  open  ground.  After  they  are 
shifted  into  6-inch  pots  let  them  root 
freely  through  the  bottoms  of  the  pots. 
It  will  induce  more  vigorous  growth  and 
after  being  lifted  t^  plants  can  be 
shifted  into  8-inch  pots,  in  which  they 
will  flower  freely  from  Christmas  on- 
ward. When  they  commence  flowering 
if  the  pots  are  stood  on  some  loam  or 
old  manure  and  allowed  to  root  through, 
the  plants  will  be  more  vigorous.  For 
Easter  blooming,  cuttings  may  be  root- 
ed as  late  as  September  and  these  will 
make  excellent  stock  in  8 -inch  pots  by 
the  beginning  of  April.  W.  N.  C.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review^ 


Mabch  21,  1907. 


PLEASANT  HILL,  MO. 

George  M.  Kellogg  has  formulated  a 
plan  which  he  outlined  at  a  supper  given 
to  his  employees  March  12,  by  which  he 
will  give  away  $1,000  annually  among 
them. 

For  a  long  time  he  has  been  consid- 
ering some  way  to  create  a  greater  in- 
terest in  the  big  establishment  which  he 
has   founded  in  Pleasant  Hill. 

"I  want  you  to  feel  as  if  this  is  your 
work  and  not  mine,"  he  said  to  his  em- 
ployees in  a  brief  talk.  ' '  Its  future  lies 
with  you.  You  are  to  build  it  up  even 
after  I  am  gone.  I  want  you  boys  to 
take  an  interest  in  it.  I  have  gone  into  it 
with  prayer,  and  with  the  help  of  the 
Lord  it  has  prospered.  Now  I  want  you 
to  feel  as  if  it  is  yours  and  build  it 
up." 

In  connection  with  the  supper  a  graph- 
ophone  concert  was  given.  A  unique 
idea  of  the  head  of  the  greenhouses  was 
to  give  each  of  his  employees  one  of  the 
little  round  boxes  in  which  records  are 
shipped.  They  were  told  not  to  open  the 
boxes  until  morning,  however.  In  each 
box  instead  of  a  record  for  the  talking 
machine  was  one-half  week's  salary  for 
each  person. 

"We  are  going  to  work  fifty-four 
weeks  out  of  fifty-two,"  was  the  rather 
mysterious  statement  of  Mr.  Kellogg. 
This,  however,  was  understood  when  it 
was  learned  that  he  meant  that  each 
year  he  will  pay  two  weeks'  extra  wages 
to  Jiis  employees. 

A  supper  will  be  given  every  three 
months,  four  times  a^  year,  and  upon 
each  occasion  every  person  in  the  em- 
ploy of  the  greenhouses  will  be  given 
half  a  week's  salary.  By  this  means  Mr. 
Kellogg  believes  that  he  will  get  the 
employees  deeply  interested  in  the  work 
and  he  will  have  persons  to  whom  he  can 
turn  over  his  business  when  he  retires. 

Following  the  supper,  Mr.  Kellogg 
went  to  Kansas  City,  where  dinner  was 
served  for  the  seven  employees  of  the 
store  there.  The  dinner  was  cooked  at 
the  Kellogg  home,  however.  While  in 
Kansas  City  he  paid  his  subscription  of 
$1,000  to  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  fund  there. 

Mr.  Kellogg  is  much  gratified  over  the 
progress  which  is  being  made  with  the 
Blanche  Kellogg  Institute,  of  Santruce, 
Porto  Eico,  founded  as  a  memorial  to 
his  daughter  who  died  several  years  ago. 
In  August,  1905,  Mr.  Kellogg  agreed  to 
give  $5,000  for  the  purpose  of  founding 
the  institute  of  which  he  desired  to  pay 
$2,000  a  year.  However,  he  has  not 
waited  the  full  limit  of  time  and  this 
month  paid  all  the  $5,000.  Work  will 
begin  at  once  on  the  institute. 

Mr.  Kellogg  announced  that  he  will 
shortly  erect  a  building  in  South  Kansas 
City,  to  be  used  as  flats,  and  also  as  a 
flower  store,  in  which  he  will  invest 
about  $20,000.  It  is  probable  that  the 
present  uptown  office  will  also  be  re- 
tained.

or  earlier  if  desired,  are  now  ready 
for  immediate  shipment. 

Come  or  mall  your  order  direct  to  the  head- 
quarters. Our  reputation  over  the  entire  country 
from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Paclflc  In  growing  Eas- 
ter stock  for  the  wholesale  market  for  many 
years  past  ought  to  be  sufficient  guarantee  as  to 
the  truth  of  what  we  say  and  advertise.  We 
have  every  house,  nook  and  corner  full  of  plants 
and  they  were  never  so  fine  as  this  year,  1907. 

While  laborers,  merchants,  Jobbers,  contract- 
ors, builders,  etc.,  have  increased  their  prices  al- 
most double  as  usual,  we  have  not  advauced  our 
prices;  but  look,  we  sell  our  plants  at  the  same 
old  prices  charged  two  or  three  years  ago  when 
the  cost  of  producing  plants  was  much  cheaper. 

What  was  my  daty  on  mjr  trip  to  Ghent, 
BelKiam  (the  land  of  azaleas,  araacariaa 
and  palms),  last  fall,  1906?  Answer:  Of 
course,  the  interests  of  my  customers,  not 
speaking  of  the  1100  souvenir  cards  which  I 
mailed  to  my  customers  In  America.  For  the 
beneflt  of  my  customers  I  also  bought  Azalea 
Indica  for  Easter  trade,  the  cream  of  Belgium's 
production  that  money  could  buy. 

AZALEAS

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


Mabcu  21,  1007. 


NEWPORT,  R.  L 


Current  G>ininent. 

Carl  Jurgens  has  secured  a  lease  of 
two  large  tracts  of  land  adjoining  his 
greenhouse  property.  Mr.  Jurgens  felt 
compelled  to  acquire  this  l^nd,  either  by 
Itease  or  purchase,  because  of  his  rapidly 
increasing  business  and  the  need  of  land 
for  summer  planting. 

Andrew  Christensen  will,  immediately 
after  April  1,  begin  business  as  a  jobbing 
gardener  and,  in  connection  with  that, 
grow  a  general  line  of  bedding  plants. 
He  is  now  busy  thinking  out  the  problem 
of  the  best  kind  of  greenhouse  to  build. 

A  visit  to  the  greenhouses  of  E.  T. 
Gerry  never  fails  to  be  interesting  not 
only  because  of  the  extent  of  the  houses 
and  the  uniform  good  quality  of  every- 
thing grown  there,  but  also  because  Mr. 
GriflSn,  the  gardener,  is  usually  the  first 
in  Newport  to  procure  a  sample  of  a 
novelty  when  it  is  introduced;  in  fact, 
everything  of  merit  in  the  plant  line  that 
is  new  or  rare  finds  a  home  here. 

The  conference  on  rural  progress 
which  is  to  be  held  here  March  26  will 
give  horticulturists  a  chance  to  hear 
Professor  L.  H.  Bailey,  dean  of  the  Col- 
lege of  Agriculture,  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity, speak  on  ' '  The  Point  of  View  in 
Eural  Progress,"  and  H.  L.  Clapp,  on 
"School  Gardens." 

The  Newport  Horticultural  Society  has 
decided  to  give  liberal  premiums  to 
school  children  for  wild  flowers,  culti- 
vated flowers  and  vegetables;  also,  in 
appreciation  of  tne  work  of  the  promoters 
of  the  school  gardens,  the  society  will 
award,  at  the  end  of  the  season,  liberal 
premiums  for  the  best  school  gardens  in 
the  city;  the  gardens  to  be  judged  at 
intervals  throughout  the  season  by  Mr. 
iJutterton,  the  president  of  the  society.

DAVENPORT,  lA. 

The  first  annual  banquet  of  the  Tri- 
City  Florists'  Association,  embracing  the 
florists  of  Davenport,  Moline  and  Eock 
laland,  was  held  March  11  at  Turner 
hall.  Nearly  every  member  of  the  so- 
ciety "was  present  and  the  affair  was  a 
success  in  every  way.  The  table  decora- 
tions were  among  the  most  elaborate 
ever  seen  in  the  city. 

Theodore  Ewoldt  acted  as  toastmaster 
and  a  wide  variety  of  topics  was  dis- 
cussed in  the  toasts.  Among  them  were 
the  propositions  of  organizing  a  tri-city 
horticultural  society  and  giving  an  an- 
nual flower  show.  Mr.  Ewoldt  gave  the 
opening  talk  on  the  subject,  * '  Should  the 
Club  Hold  an  Annual  Flower  Show?" 
The  other  talks  were  as  follows:

ticultural Society"— J.  T.  Temple.

"General  Plant  Trade"  —  Henry 
Gaethge,  Sr. 

"Cemetery  Trade"— H.  G.  Pauli. 

* '  Carnation  Growing ' ' — Ludwig  Stapp. 

"Influence  of  Parks  on  the  Florists' 
Trade"— C.  O.  E.  Boehm. 

"Has  Our  Club  Furthered  a  Feeling 
of  Friendship  and  Goodfellowship 
Among  Its  Members!" — George  Forber. 

"Delivering  Florists'  Stock" — Henry 
Gaethge,  Jr. 

"Nursery  Stock"— H.  G.  Bryant.

and  Peter  Becker. 

"Decorative  Plants" — Frank  Woelz. 

"Landscape  Architecture,  Its  Effect 
on  the  Florists'  Trade" — A.  Arp. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  club  will  be 
held  March  21  at  Fejervary  park.  At 
the  April  meeting  the  wives  of  the  mem- 
bers will  be  present.

A.  Ley  &  BrO.,  Langdon,  D.  C. 


CENTRAL,  MO. 

The  writer,  in  company  with  "Walter 
Weber,  of  St.  Louis,  went  out  to  see  an 
old  friend,  John  Steidle,  and  his  modern 
place  at  Central,  and  found  the  carna- 
tions in  unexcelled  condition.  Mr.  Stei- 
dl5  has  made  a  specialty  of  the  divine 
flower  for  a  number  of  years  and  cer- 
tainly has  made  a  great  success  of  it. 
This  is  his  first  year  with  roses  and  they 
have  done  wellj  there  was  only  a  bench 
of  Brides  that  was  a  little  off  in  health, 
but  fast  recuperating.  He  has  cut  a 
great  many  fine  blooms  during  the  sea- 
son. He  grows  exclusively  for  Fred  C. 
Weber. 

Next  we  visited  Mr.  Steidle 's  neighbor, 
A.  Jablonsky.  Here,  also,  we  found 
carnations  looking  well,  full  of  blooms 
and  buds.  Eoses  have  not  done  so  well 
as  Mr.  Jablonsky  could  wish,  but,  like 
all  good  growers,  he  has  his  back  up  and 
says  he  will  make  the  queen  of  flowers 
come  to  time  next  season. 

From  there  Mr.  Steidle  drove  us  over 
to  J.  W.  Dunf ord  's  place.  He  also  makes 
a  specialty  of  carnations.  A  big  bench 
or  more  of  Lawson  was  fine.  He  grews 
a  great  many  Boston  Market,  a  rather 
small  flower,  but  a  wonderful  producer, 
as  it  was  a  regular  sea  of  buds.  Mr. 
Dunford  says  that  his  wholesale  trade 
demands  this  variety.  He  has  a  great 
lot  of  lilies.  Some  are  very  good,  one 
lot  in  particular;  another  lot  was  dis- 
appointing. He  grows  a  good  many  cal- 
las,  also  bedding  plants.  He  has  15,000 
geraniums  ready  to  pot  up. 

Although  the  weather  was  wretched 
the  greater  part  of  the  day,  how  much 
lighter  all  the  houses  looked  in  compari- 
son with  ours  so  near  the  city.  Plants 
have  a  different  appearance  within  the 
city's  smoke.  We  were  tired  out  with 
our  long  ride,  but  felt  amply  repaid  for 
our  visit.  P.  J.  P.

using  Cypress  exclusively  for  greenhouse  construction  in  1885,  using  it  previous  to  that  time  in  conjunction  with 
pine.  The  greenhouses  built  with  clear  Cypress,  free  of  sap,  twenty-one  years  ago  are  being  used  today  by  their 
owners,  and  the  wood  is  found  perfectly  preserved  and  free  from  any  decay  or  rot."

with  Pecky  Cypress,  we  will  say,  we  have  been  using  this  grade  of  Cypress  in  our  greenhouses  and  plant  benches 
for  the  last  ten  or  twelve  years  and  so  far  have  not  found  any  of  this  wood  that  has  at  all  rotted  out.  We 
formerly  used  Hemlock  and  Pine  but  found  that  2-inch  stock  only  lasted  about  four  years  while  so  far  we  have 
had  no  Pecky  Cypress  rot  out  in  ten  or  twelve  years.  We  use  clear  Cypress  for  all  our  roof  work,  ventilators, 
etc.,  and  it  is  very  satisfactory.     We  think  it  is  the  only  kind  of  lumber  for  the  purpose."

Iff  you  want  to  kill  Scale  on  your  plants  absolutoly, 
there  is  only  one  preparation  -^ 

WILSON'S  PIANT  OIL 

Take  a  can  of  this  preparation,  dilute  to  four  times  its  bulk  with  water,  and  wash  or  spray 

your  palms,  ferns,  aspidistras,  smilax,  or  any  plants  subject  to  scale,  bugs  or  vermin  and 

YOUR  PLANTS  WILL  BE  CLEAN.      One  of  the  greatest  discoveries  of  modem  times. 

NO  ALKALI.     NOTHING  DELETERIOUS.     DRIES  AT  ONCE.     Saves  many  a  dollar 

for  you,  Mr.  Florist.      Did  you  ever  see  any  of  these  testimonials  attached  to  an  article 

that  was  not  good. 

READ  WHAT  OTHERS  SAY  OF  IT: 


iLUNOis  State  Pexitkntiary,  Joliet,  Ii^l.,  Nov.  14.  1906. 
Dear  Sir :  —  Tour  Plant  Oil  arrived,  and  tried,  and  one  applica- 
tion did  the  work.    Something  I  have  been  looking  for— for  years. 
It's  sure  and  no  injury  to  the  plants. 

Very  truly  yours.        W.  M.  TIPLADY,  Florist. 

Milwaukee,  Wis. 
Dear  Sir  :  —  At  the  present  time  we  are  using  your  Plant  Oil  at 
our  greenhouses,  and  thus  far  it  has  given  good  satisfaction  and  we 
shall  continue  to  use  it.         Yours  truly,     HOLTON  &  HUNKEL. 

Rutherford,  N.  J.,  Jane  28, 1906. 

We  have  thoroughly  tried  your  Plant  Oil  with  very  striking 

results.    We  may  say  this  is  the  first  insecticide  we  have  tried  on 

our  palms  that  will  remove  the  scale  with  the  first  application.   We 

would  like  to  say  this  is  one  of  the  few  things  that  the  florist  can- 


not afford  to  be  without,  especially  those  who  are  growing  palms 
and  decorative  plants.  After  one  application  of  the  oil  the  plants 
take  on  an  entirely  new  appearance.  We  would  be  pleased  to  have 
prospective  buyers  visit  our  nurseries  and  inspect  the  palms  on 
which  we  have  used  your  oil.  fiOBBlNK  &  ATKINS. 

New  York  Botanical  Garden,  Bronx  Park, 

New  York  City,  Sept.  5.  1906. 
Having  used  your  insecticide  here,  I  can  testify  to  its  efHciency 
in  destroying  scale  and  other  insects  infesting  plants. 

Yours  very  truly,       GEO.  A.  SKENE. 

Fi/)RHAM  P"ARMS,  Madison,  N.  J.,  Dec.  8,  1906. 
Your  Plant  Oil  is  certainly  the  most  effective  scale  killer  I  have 
ever  tried.    Please  send  another  five  gallons.

PANCRATIUM  MARITIMUM. 

The  instance  of  this  splendid  bulb  re- 
maining so  much  of  a  rarity  after  300 
years'  cultivation  is  an  example  of  what 
one  loses  in  the  race  for  novelties,  few 
of  which  are  the  equal  of  old-time  bulbs 
grown  so  well  by  our  forefathers,  says  a 
writer  in  the  Gardeners'  Magazine. 

"The  greatest  charm  of  Pancratium 
maritimum  lies  in  its  exquisite  refine- 
ment— a  character  that  can  always  be 
welcomed  in  preference  to  gaudy  coloring, 
because  so  few  plants  possess  it.  I  have 
met  with  isolated  patches  in  several  parts 
of  Great  Britain,  chiefly  in  the  gardens 
of  specialists,  and  well  believe  it  to  be 
hardy  everywhere,  provided  it  has  the 
driest  and  warmest  position  the  garden 
affords.  It  has  a  glaucous  tuft  of  leaves, 
handsome  as  such,  two  feet  high  and 
through,  and  in  the  autumn  produces 
showy  umbels  of  pure  white  flowers,  semi- 
transparent,  and  a  marvel  of  delicate 
texture.  The  flowers  span  from  three  to 
four  inches,  and  have  slender  petals, 
prominent  funnel-shaped  staminal  cups 
that  support  very  short  stamens,  and 
their  fragrance  is  exceptionally  sweet."

FOR  GREENHOUSE  AND  FIELD  WATERING. 

It  consists  of  pipes  and  nozzles  so  arranged  that  a  CONTINUOUS  SHEET  OF  WATER  the  full  length  of  the 
line  can  be  supplied,  and  at  the  will  of  the  operator  can  be  directed  upward  from  underneath  the  plants,  downward 
from  above  the  plants  or  parallel  with  a  bench  so  that,  only  the  soil  m  the  bench  is  watered.  It  can  be  used  for 
syringing  or  watering.  An  entire  house  can  be  watered  or  syringed  in  only  a  few  minutes.  It  is  a  permanent  asset 
after  being  once  installed,  as  it  will  never  wear  out,  it  is  inexpensive  and  will  save  its  cost  in  hose  and  labor  in_th^-- 
first  six  months. 

To  show  the  small  cost  of  equipping  an  acre  of  ground  for  outside  watering  as  far  as  nozzles  and  swivel  wheels 
are  concerned,  will  submit  the  following  figures:  There  are  approximately  44,000  square  feet  to  the  acre.  My  >^-inch 
nozzle  will,  with  a  good  pressure,  cover  300  square  feet  of  ground  and  by  first  watering  on  one  side  of  pipe  and  then 
on  the  other  side,  each  nozzle  will  cover  600  square  feet,  or  about  80  nozzles  to  the  acre,  which  will  cost  $12.00  per 
acre  for  nozzles.  Four  swivel  wheels  will  easily  control  the  nozzles  on  an  acre.  These  at  $2.00  each,  $8,  would  make 
the  cost  of  wheels  and  nozzles  only  $20.00  per  acre. 

HERE  ARE  LETTERS  FROM  WELL-PLEASED  USERS: 


"Some  Wxac  ajro  we  put  In  100  feet  of  your  system  on  trial  and  It 
baa  Riven  perfect  SHtisf action.  Send  500  feet  more  at  once  and 
we  shall  wai  i  1800  feei  additional  as  soon  as  our  new  houses  are 
i-eady.  We  thlnU  the  system  a  very  good  tliln?  and  consider  the 
labor  saved  will  pay  for  tbe  apparatus  In  one  season." 

Davis  Bros.,  Morrison,  III. 


"We  wish  to  have  our  entire  rangre  fitted  up  with  your  watering 
system.  We  are  mncb  pleased  wltli  tbe  working  of  the  section 
whlcli  we  have  in  at  present  and  are  perfectly  satisfied  that  the 
time  win  be  very  short  till  all  np-to-date  grrowers  will  use  the 
Wittbold  system  instpud  of  tbe  present  method  of  watering  with 
the  hose.  Wlien  tlie  nozzles  are  properly  spaced,  they  throw  ex- 
actly the  same  amoant  of  water  to  all  parts  of  the  bench." 

W.  B.  Davis  &  Co.,  Cucumber  Growers,  Aurora,  111. 


"It  is  a  fine  tbInK  and  I  wonder  why  greenhouse  men  have  not 
taken  hold  more.    It  should  come  into  general  use.    It  puts  the 
water  on  more  evenly  than  the  average  man  will  with  the  liose." 
STKrHEN  Hydk,  Vegetable  Grower,  Carthage, Mo. 


"We  have  your  system  In  one  of  our  Flcus  houses;  It  is  Working 
fine  and  Is  doing'  as  mncb  as  ten  men  would  do  in  tlie  old  way 
In  tbe  same  time.  We  like  it  so  well  ttiat  as  soon  as  we  can  arrange 
for  water  supply  we  shall  equip  our  whole  place." 

A.  C.  Oet.schkj  &  Sox,  Savannah,  Ga. 


"We  have  the  Wittbold  system  la  six  houses  3:{x200and  It  works 
to  perfection,  doing  the  watering  better  than  tbe  average 
man  can  do  with  the  hose.  We  will  equip  our  other  two  plants 
next  season;  no  more  watering  with  the  hose  for  us."

line."  J.  B.  ADAMS,  Pass  UlirlBtlan,  Miss. 

"We  are  better  pleased  every  day.  A  boy  can  do  better  work 
with  it  than  a  good  man  can  with  a  hose.  It  is  tbe  only  way  to 
water  lettuce."  R.  T.  Donxeli,,  Springfield  111. 


"As  a  time-saver,  in  my  estimation  there  is  nothing  to  equal  it 
and  no  one  reallclng  Its  value  will  be  without  the  Witt- 
bold system."  Wm.  Edi.efsex,  Milwaukee,  Wis. 

"Your  system  in  our  Rose  house  works  so  well  we  want  to  equip 
five  more  houses.  The  labor  and  hose  saved  will  in  a  short  time 
pay  for  the  system."    Ki-eh.m's  Niirsekies,  Arlington  Heights.  111. 


"It  wont  be  long  before  It  will  be  universally  us«d." 

Alois  Frev,  Head  Gardener,  Lincoln  Park  Chicago. 

"The  Wittbold  system  is  a  great  success  with  ns,  a  great 
labor- saver  and  certain  to  be  used  all  over  the  country  in  less  than

Greenhouse  Beating. 


HOT  WATER  HEATING. 

For  four  years  I  have  read  the  Review 
and  noted  carefully  the  articles  on  hot 
water  heating,  by  L.  C.  C.  In  the  main 
I  agree  with  him,  but  not  always. 

I  believe  that  all  will  agree  that  a  hot 
water  boiler  should  be  so  constructed  as 
to  contain  the  minimum  amount  of  water, 
with  the  maximum  amount  of  heating 
surface.  By  this  means  we  more  nearly 
approach  steam  as  to  quickness  of  heat- 
ing. While  much  of  the  efficiency  of  the 
boiler  depends- on  the  firing  and  the  way 
it  is  handled,  upon  which  much  could  be 
said,  it  is  about  the  circulation  that  I 
wish  to  write.  We  all  know  that  if  the 
pipes  fail  to  heat,  they  fail  of  their  pur- 
pose; and,  too,  the  full  benefit  of  the 
fuel  consumed  is  not  obtained. '  Therefore 
with  poor  circulation  we  fail  to  secure 
the  full  efficiency  of  the  boiler. 

In  piping,  I  believe  there  is  no  differ- 
ence whether  the  highest  point  in  the 
system  is  directly  above  the  boiler,  or  at 
the  far  end  of,  the  houses.  I  would  govern 
this  by  existing  conditions.  If  the  val- 
leys of  the  greenhouses  slope  toward  the 
boiler,  then  the  flow  pipes  can  parallel 
the  purlins,  which  would  afford  the  nec- 
essary rise  to  the  far  end  of  the  houses. 
If  the\alleys  slope  from  the  boiler,  the 
highest  point  should  be  above  the  boiler, 
in  which  case  the  flows  can  again  paral- 
lel the  purlins,  affording  the  proper  fall 


times  the  capacity  of  the  flow,  then  the 
water  in  the  flow  pipe  must  move  three 
times  as  fast  as  in  the  returns,  if  circu- 
lation is  even.  One  can  easily  see  that, 
with  this  proportion,  a  slight  cause,  such 
as  a  sag  in  some  of  the  pipes,  would  in- 
duce the  water  to  take  to  the  returns 
unevenly.  Where  the  returns  are  six 
times  the  capacity  of  the  flow  this  ten- 
dency would  be  greatly  increased. 

While  the  force  of  expansion  in  heated 
water  is  strong,  yet,  like  all  forces,  it 
follows  the  least  resistance.  This  is  a 
simple  fact,  but  often  unheeded  in  in- 
stalling a  system.  The  placing  of  the 
manifolds  is  a  fruitful  source  of  bad 
circulation.  I  can  best  illustrate  this 
point  by  sketches,  as  shown  below: 

It  will  be  seen  at  a  glance  that  the 
manifolds  in  figures  1  and  2  are  alike 
and  also  in  figures  3  and  4,  the  differ- 
ence in  the  radiator  being  in  the  re- 
versed manifolds.  In  figures  1  and  3 
the  water  has  a  short,  medium  and  long 
cut  and,  if  it  has  its  own  way,  as  it 
surely  has,  it  will  take  the  short  cut 
with  greater  velocity  and  thus  the  cir- 
culation is  impeded.  In  figures  2  and 
4  there  are  no  short  or  long  cuts,  the  dis- 
tances through  each  pipe  being  exactly 
the  same.  In  this  case,  other  things 
being  equal,  the  circulation  will  be  per- 
fect. 

Figure  5  is  a  common  form  of  mani- 
fold and  is  all  wrong  and  no  amount  of 
reversing  can  make  it  right,  except  to 
reverse  it  into  the  junk  pile. 

This  placing  of  the  manifolds  is  cer-w 


house  were  100  feet  the  flow  would  still 
have  capacity  to  supply  1,200  square  feet 
of  radiation,  which,  if  supplied  in  3-inch 
pipes,  would  mean  twelve  3 -inch  returns 
in  th^  house.  So  you  see  it  is  impossible 
to  base  the  relation  between  flow  and  re- 
turns on  size  and  number  of  pipes  aloue. 
The  only  just  and  safe  way  is  as  above 
described.  Because  builders  and  plumb- 
ers do  not  give  these  matters  due  weight, 
I  believe  it  is  safe  to  say  that  ninety 
per  cent  of  the  greenhouse  plants  are 
piped  without  regard  to  capacities,  and 
at  a  consequent  loss,  because  of  undue 
outlay  for  pipes  which  bear  no  relation 
to  the  work  to  be  done.  L.  C.  C. 


PIPE  FOR  ONE  GREENHOUSE. 

I  am  erecting  a  new  even-span  north 
and  south  house,  16x50.  The  sides  are 
three  feet  nine  inches  high,  double 
matched  boards  with  sheathing  paper  be- 
tween; ridge,  seven  and  one-half  feet 
high,  no  glass  in  the  ends.  Will  you 
please  give  the  amount  of  pipe  needed 
and  size  of  the  returns  and  flows,  to 
maintain  a  temperature  of  50  degrees 
to  55  degrees  in  zero  weather?  Also, 
where  should  be  the  highest  point  in  the 
system?  I  have  a  3x10  horizontal  brick- 
set  boiler  with  thirty  tubes  three  inches 
in  diameter.  Please  give  amount  of  radi- 
ation the  boiler  will  carry.        G.  H.  W. 


The  house  in  question  can  be  heated 
by  using  ten  runs  of  2-inch  pipe  or  by 
thirteen  runs  of  1%-inch  pipe.  If  you 
wish  to  keep  all  pipes  under  the  benches

back  to  the  far  end  and  down  to  the  re- 
turns. 

Each  house  should  have  its  own  sys- 
tem from  and  to  the  boiler.  This  is  ab- 
solutely necessary.  The  flow  pipe  may 
be  branched  on  entering  the  house,  each 
paralleling  the  purlins  or  under  the 
ridge  and  branched  at  the  far  end.  The 
expansion  tank  should  be  directly  above 
the  boiler  and  preferably  enter  the  boiler 
at  one  of  the  returns.  It  should  be 
slightly  higher  than  the  highest  point  in 
the  system.  There  should  be  an  air-vent 
in  each  flow  pipe  at  its  highest  point. 
This  may  be  a  small  air-cock,  which 
should  be  opened  at  least  once  a  day, 
in  severe  weather,  to  allow  air  to  escape; 
or,  it  may  be  in  the  form  of  small  pipes 
extending  slightly  higher  than  the  top  of 
the  expansion  tank,  in  which  case  they 
may  be  left  open. 

As  to  comparative  capacity  of  flows 
and  returns,  that  is  where  I  think  L.  C. 
C.  is  in  error.  In  no  case  would  I  ad- 
vise (if  for  myself,  allow)  the  returns 
to  be  more  than  three  times  the  capacity 
of  the  flow.  L.  C.  C,  in  one  case,  ad- 
vised a  3-inch  flow  and  six  3-inch  re- 
turns. In  the  February  21  issue  of  the 
Eeview  he  advises  W.  E.  D.  to  use  a 
3^ -inch  flow  and  seventeen  2-inch  re- 
turns, which  is  almost  the  same  propor- 
tion. 

It  is  clear  that  if  the  returns  are  three 


tainly  a  simple,  plain  proposition,  and 
yet,  when  down  under  a  bench,  the 
wrong  way  may  be  much  the  easier  to 
install.  The  easier  way  will  invariably 
be  taken  by  those  who  have  not  the  suc- 
cess of  the  system  at  stake. 

Then  it  is  important  that  the  returns 
from  the  radiators  to  the  boiler  be  exact- 
ly the  same  as  the  flow  from  the  boiler 
to  radiators.  Any  other  plan  will  im- 
pede circulation.  For  a  house  25x100 
the  flow  from  the  boiler  should  be  5-inch, 
which  may  be  divided  in  the  house  as  in 
above  outline.  The  return  radiators 
should  be  connected  to  a  5-inch  pipe  into 
the  boiler.  I  am  aware  that  this  will  be 
considered  expensive  by  some.  But  after 
all,  is  it  not  the  results,  the  satisfaction, 
the  real  fuel  economy,  that  should  in  all 
cases  be  considered?  I  firmly  believe 
that  my  system  thus  installed  has  saved 
me  in  two  years  at  least  $100  in  fuel. 

S.  C.  Templin. 


The  relation  which  exists  between 
flows  and  returns  in  heating  pipes  can- 
not be  determined  by  the  number  of 
pipes.  The  relation  is  that  capacity  to 
furnish  a  determined  amount  of  radia- 
tion. To  illustrate:  A  3%-inch  riser 
has  capacity  to  supply  1,200  square  feet 
of  radiating  surface.  This  would  be 
equivalent  to  three  3-inch  pipes,  each 
400  feet  long,  but  if  the  length  of  the 


you  can  divide  the  ten  2-inch  pipes  as 
follows:  Two  2-inch  flows  each  supply- 
ing four  2-inch  returns.  I  prefer  to  have 
the  highest  point  in  the  hot  water  flow 
at  the  most  distant  point  in  the  system. 
^  Your  3x10  boiler  is  probably  rated  at 
eighteen  or  twenty  horse-power  and 
should  be  capable  of  supplying  heat  for 
about  2,350  square  feet  of  radiating  sur- 
face. L.  C.  C. 


CAPAQTY  OF  BOILER. 

We  have  one  house,  14x70,  set  three 
feet  in  the  ground,  so  that  the  gutter 
is  slightly  above  the  ground  and  six 
feet  from  the  gutter  line  to  the  ridge. 
We  have  a  No.  3  Boynton  hot  water 
heater,  outside  the  greenhouse,  set  so 
that  the  top  of  the  heater  is  slightly 
below  the  level  of  the  greenhouse  floor. 
We  have  one  3-inch  flow  running  under 
the  ridge  and  returning  through  twelve 
1%-inch  returns,  six  on  each  side  of  the 
house,  which  heats  it  easily.  Now,  we 
want  to  build  another  house  and  leave 
the  two  houses  disconnected  for  one  win- 
ter, the  new  house  to  be  20x90  ard  six 
feet  to  the  gutter  line,  with  good  side 
walls;  but  we  want  three  feet  of  glass 
from  the  gutter  line  down  on  the  south 
side.  Will  the  heater  carry  both  houses 
at  carnation  temperature  when  it  is  20 
degrees  below  zero  outdoors?  If  not,

GREENHOISE  BOILERS 

Superior  because  made  of  the  same  STEEL  as  high-pressure  boilers;  no  sections  to  give  way  on  a  cold 
night,  as  with  cast  iron  heaters — it  isn't  fair  to  call  them  "boilers."  Made  in  the  good,  old-fashioned 
conscientious  way,  of  HEAVIER  steel  than  any  other  steel  boiler;  naturally  they  last  longer. 

LARGEST  HEATING  SURFACE.  MOST  PERFECT  COMBUSTION.  BEST  OF  CIRCUUTION  INSURED 

RBAD  WHAT  A  FSW  U8KR8  SAT : 

"Saperlor  to  any  Hot  Water  Boiler  we  ever  used.  Tou  certainly  bare  placed  the  right  name  to  your  boilers;  no  effort  at  all  to  keep  the 
temperature  at  desired  points  when  zero  weather  comes.  Night  after  night  the  past  severe  winter  weather  gave  your  boilers  a  good  test. 
We  are  more  than  pleased  with  the  Superior  Boiler." -TREANOR  &  RETriC,  South  Bend,  Ind. 

"We  are  running  twelve  of  your  Superior  Boilers  and  find  them  satisfactory  in  every  respect.  They  are  not  only  good  heaters,  but  eco- 
nomical to  operate.    We  shall  be  pleased  to  have  florists  visit  our  place  to  see  these  boilers  working."— PETER  RBINBERQ,  Chicago.

tem of  piping  would  you  advise?  There 
will  be  a  half  bench  on  each  outside  and 
two  full  benches  in  the  center.  The

No!  The  boiler  is  not  large  enough 
to  carry  one-half  the  proposed  new  house 
in  addition  to  the  one  you  already  have. 
The  new  house  can  be  piped  in  the  same 
fashion  as  the  one  you  already  have, 
which  you  say  gives  good  service.  The 
new  house  should  have  a  3-inch  flow 
pipe  and  eleven  lines  of  2-inch  pipe,  or 
fourteen  lines  of  l^^-inch  pipe  installed 
as  returns. 

The  boiler  has  a  rated  capacity  for  700 
feet  of  radiation,  while  the  two  houses 
should  have  1,050  feet,  and  the  heater 
should  have  a  rated  capacity  for  at  least 
1,200  feet  to  be  on  the  safe  side.

FACTORS  IN  HEATING  PROBLEM. 

I  note  in  his  answer  to  A.  E.,  your 
heating  engineer,  L.  C.  C,  says  glass 
surface  is  only  one  of  the  factors  in  a 
heating  problem.  He  was  given  the  tem- 
perature desired,  and  the  outdoor  tem- 
perature. Probably  he  allowed  for  only 
moderately  well  built  houses,  but  I  would 
like  to  know  what  are  the  other  factors 
in  a  heating  problem.  Perhaps  all  of  us 
are  overlooking  essential  details  for  lack 
of  expert  knowledge.  H.  O. 

For  the  satisfaction  of  my  friend  H. 
O.,  I  wish  to  say  that  glass  area  is,  as 
a  rule,  only  a  part  of  the  exposure  of 
the  ordinary  greenhouse.  In  calculating 
heating  requirements  we  consider  the 
total  surface  exposed,  sides  and  ends  as 
well  as  roof.  The  question  of  type  of 
construction  also  enters;  i.  e.,  whether 
the  houses  are  connected,  ridge  and  fur- 
row, or  isolated;  the  character  of  heat 
to  be  used,  and  also  the  climate  in  which 
the  houses  are  located.  This  will  ex- 
plain why  it  has  been  our  custom  to  re- 
quest data  in  regard  to  the  length, 
height  of  side  walls,  height  to  ridge,  tem- 
perature desired,  minimum  outdoor  tem- 
perature, the  type  of  construction  and 
the  exposure.  L.  C.  C

TWO  HOUSES  AND  DWELLING. 

I  wish  to  heat  two  even-span  houses, 
one  20x50,  with  brick  walls  four  feet 
high  and  rafters  twelve  feet  long,  the 
other  20x30,  with  walls  four  and  one- 
half  feet  high  and  rafters  twelve  feet 
long.  In  connection  with  these  two 
houses  I  wish  to  heat  a  dwelling,  one 
story,  25x50,  containing  three  rooms  and 
a  hall  only  that  will  need  to  be  heated. 

I  have  a  twenty  horse-power  tubular 
steam  boiler,  thirty-three  inches  in  diam- 
eter, containing  twenty-eight  3-ineh  flues 
eight  feet  long.  The  boiler  has  a  dome 
and  the  flow  has  4-inch  taps  at  the  dome. 
How  deep  should  I  dig  the  boiler-pit  for 
a  hot  water  system?  I  have  about  500 
feet  of  21/^ -inch  pipe,  800  feet  of  2-inch, 
three  2-inch  valves,  three  2%-inch  valves 
and  one  3%  or  4^ -inch  valve.  How 
many  radiators  and  what  number  of  sec- 
tions will  the  house  require  and  the  num- 
ber of  flows  and  returns  for  the  green- 
houses? The  boiler  is  just  back  of  the 
20x30    greenhouse.      Would    you    advise

gest  that  it  be  eighteen  inches  or  two 
feet  lower,  ao  that  in  case  it  should  be 
♦lesirable  to  run  the  plant  as  a  steam 
J)! ant  the  boiler  would  be  set  properly. 
You  can  use  your  own  preference  in  re- 
gard to  the  location  of  the  main  flow 
pipes  in  the  houses.  They  may  be  car- 
ried under  the  ridge  to  the  far  end  of 
the  houses  and  there  divided  to  supply 
the  2-inch  returns,  or  you  can  divide  the 
main  flow  at  the  entrance  of  the  house 
and  carry  an  independent  branch  for 
each  coil  on  the  side  walls.  If  a  single 
flow  is  provided  the  house  20x50  feet 
should  have  a  2V^-inch  flow  and  thirteen 
2-inch  returns,  six  on  the  south  and 
seven  on  the  north  wall.  A  2-inch  main 
flow  from  the  boiler  to  the  far  end  of 
the  house  20x30  feet  will  be  sufficient  to 
feed  the  thirteen  2-inch  returns  arranged 
as  above  described. 

I  cannot  guess  at  the  size  of  the 
radiators  you  will  need,  but  you  can 
'figure  the  cubic  contents  of  each  room 
to  be  heated  and  allow  one  square  foot 
of  surface  in  the  radiator  for  each  thirty 
cubic  feet  of  space  in  the  room.  If  you 
have  only  three  rooms  to  heat  a  2^/^-inch 
flow  pipe  direct  from  boiler  to  the  house 
should  be  sufficient  to  heat  it.  Probably 
a  2-inch  pipe  would  be  sufficient,  but  I 
cannot  give  accurate  sizes  without  know- 
ing the  dimensions  of  the  rooms  and 
their  exposure.  L.  C.  C.

being  displaced  by  the  return  steam 
trap.  Although  a  great  improvement 
over  the  old  methods,  the  steam  trap  at 
the  introductory  period  had  one  main 
drawback ;  it  was  too  complicated.  Mr. 
Morehead,  of  Detroit,  designed  and  in- 
troduced to  the  trade  a  tilting  trap, 
which  was  quickly  taken  up  by  many 
large  and  well-known  growers,  and  is 
now  in  quite  general  use.  The  trap  will 
take  water  from  the  condensing  sur- 
faces of  steam  heating  systems  and  au- 
tomatically return  it  into  the  boiler  as 
feed  water,  filling  the  dual  capacity  of 
steam  trap  and  feed  water  pump.  This 
is  accomplished  regardless  of  the  po- 
sition of  the  returns,  whether  above  or 
below  the  water  line  in  the  boiler.  The 
salient  features  of  this  useful  invention 
are  admirably  brought  out  in  an  attrac- 
tive booklet  compiled  especially  for  flo- 


rists and  published  by  the  Morehead

POOR  CIRCULATION. 

I  am  having  trouble  with  my  heating 
pipes.  My  house  is  14x75.  Both  flows 
and  returns  are  2-inch  pipes  from  the 
boiler  up  to  where  the  coils  begin.  Then 
I  have  five  lines  of  l^i-inch  flows  and 
one  line  of  1 14 -inch  returns  under  each 
bench,  I  find  that  the  pipes  under  the 
benches  fail  to  heat  up,  for  the  circula- 
tion is  poor.  W.   L.   K. 

Your  heating  system  is  connected  up 
just  wrong  end  to.  If  you  will  arrange 
the  slope  in  the  five  lines  of  1*4 -inch 
pipe  so  they  fall  towards  the  boiler,  and 
take  off  a  2-inch  return  at  the  point 
where   the   2-inch   flow   now   enters,   and

Seeing  Chicago 


THIS  IS  WHAT  THE  CRIER  IS  SAYING: 

"On  my  left  you  will  see  the  well-known  E^roeschell  Hot 
Water  Greenhouse  Boiler.  It  is  the  invention  of  Charles 
Kroeschell ,  one  of  the  oldest  and  best  known  boilermanuf  acturers 
in  the  country.  He  makes  all  kinds  of  boilers  for  all  purposes. 
"From  80  years  of  experience  in  the  building  of  greenhouse  boilers,  he  has  developed  this  wonderful 
article,  which  is  acknowledged  by  all  who  have  used  them  to  be  the  only  perfect  heater  in  the  world. 

"The  Hot  Water  Boilers  sold  by  this  firm  last  year  alone  are  heating  2,158,000  square  feet  of  glass! 
"Mr.  Kroeschell  has  just  constructed  a  new  Jumbo  Size,  No.  15,  which  will  take  care  of  60,000  square  feet 
of  g^ldss,  maintaining  a  temperature  of  60  degrees  when  the  outside  temperature  is  15  deg^rees  below  zero. 
"This  is  said  to  be  the  largest  Hot  Water  Greenhouse  Boiler  in  the  world. 

"If  any  of  you  gentlemen  are  florists,  be  sure  to  write  Kroeschell  Bros,  for  prices  and  particulars  if  you  are 
in  need  of  a  boiler.    They  will  furnish  you  boilers  for  the  smallest  as  well  as  the  largest  greenhouses."

carry  the  2-inch  flow  to  the  far  end  of 
the  house  and  have  it  connect  at  the 
opposite  end  of  the  manifold  to  where 
the  11/4 -inch  return  is  now  taken  off, 
your  plant  should  give  good  service,  pro- 
vided you  have  radiation  enough.  The 
piping  as  rearranged  should  maintain  60 
degrees  to  65  degrees.  L.  C.  C. 


SIZE  OF  BOILER. 


What  horse-power  tubular  boiler  would 
be  required  to  heat  10,000  feet  of  glass 
to  55  degrees  in  Massachusetts  climate? 
The  houses  are  low  and  have  no  glass  in 
the  side  walls.  Please  give  size  and 
height  of  the  smokestack.  M.  W. 

While  I  do  not  like  to  estimate  heat- 
ing capacity  on  glass  area  stated  in 
round  numbers,  I  think  a  thirty  horse- 
power boiler  should  be  large  enough  for 
the  area  you  state.  An  18-inch  smoke- 
stack twenty-five  or  thirty  feet  tall,  de- 
pending upon  adjacent  objects,  should  be 
sufficient.  L.  C.  C.

EUONYMUS  RADICANS. 

The  variegated  variety  of  this  euony- 
mus  has  long  been  known  as  a  pretty 
little  shrub  for  various  purposes.  In  the 
first  place,  it  makes  a  neat  edging  after 
the  manner  of  box;  next,  it  will  carpet 
the  ground  beneath  the  shade  of  trees 
as  well  as  ivy;  while  for  furnishing  bal- 
conies, window-boxes,  etc.,  it  has  few 
equals.  A  singular  feature,  says  a  writ- 
er in  the  Gardeners'  Magazine,  is  that 
if  trained  to  a  wall  it  often  mounts  up- 
ward quickly,  and  sometimes  from  the 
topmost  portion  large  leaves  are  devel- 
oped, which  just  resemble  those  of  Eu- 
onymus  Japonicus  latifolius  albus.  This 
feature  is  referred  to  by  Professor  Sar- 
gent in  his  "Forest  Flora  of  Japan," 
for  after  speaking  of  Euonymus  Japon- 
icus he  refers  to  E.  radicans  in  the  fol- 
lowing terms:  "The  scandent  variety 
is  a  hardier  plant  found  carpeting  the 
ground  under  the  forests  of  Hokkaido, 
and  in  the  mountain  regions  of  Hondo 
climbing  high  on  the  trunks  of  trees, 
which  it  encircles  with  great  masses  of 
lustrous  foliage  borne  on  stout  branches 
standing  out  at  right  angles,  sometimes 
to  the  length  of  several  feet.  The  leaves 
vary  from  one  inch  to  four  inches  or  five 
inches  in  length,  and  correspondingly  in 
width,  and  show  the  connection  of  the 
climbing  plant  with  the  arborescent 
type. ' ' 

BLACK  FLY. 

Can  you  tell  me  what  will  kill  black 
fly?  I  have  been  bothered  with  it  for 
some  time.  Kerosene  emulsion  does  not 
afl^ect  it.  M.  K. 


Fumigation  with  tobacco  stems  on  suc- 
cessive nights  will  kill  black  fly.  If 
you  have  tender  plants,  likely  to  be  in- 
jured by  the  smoke  from  stems,  use 
nicotine  extract  or  aphis  punk  and  in- 
crease the  strength  if  you  don 't  get  re- 
sults the  first  time.  If  chrysanthemums 
are  infested  it  is  a  good  plan  to  drop  a 
little  tobacco  dust  on  the  top  of  the 
shoots.  If  you  prefer  to  keep  the  fly 
down  by  syringing,  try  any  of  the  to- 
bacco liquids  diluted  in  water.  These 
won't  hurt  the  plants  if  properly  di- 
luted but  kill  every  fly  they  hit.  For 
outdoor  work  we  find  whale-oil  soap  the 
best  insecticide  to  use.  C.  W.

The  successful  use  of  To-Bak-Ine  Liquid  as 
a  spray  depends  largely  on  the  pump  and  nozzle 
that  is  used  in  spraying.  There  are  a  great  many 
pumps  and  spraying  machines  on  the  market; 
these  have  all  been  carefully  tested  in  our  experi- 
ments and  we  have  found  that  for  practical 
purposes  the  Simplex  Spray  Pump  illus- 
trated on  this  page  is  the  most  practical  of  any 
in  use.  These  are  all  brass  pumps,  excellent  for 
all  kinds  of  spraying  purposes,  but  are  especially 
adapted  for  greenhouse  use.

The  successful  use  of  To-Bak-Ine  Liquid  as

that  is  used  in  sprayinu.  There  are  a  great  many 
pumps  and  spraying  machines  on  the  market; 
these  have  all  been  carefully  tested  in  our  experi-

HYBRID  DEUTZIAS. 

(.^uite  a  number  of  hybrid  deutzias 
have  been  put  in  commerce  during  tlie 
last  ten  years  by  V.  Lemoine  &  Sons, 
Nancy,  France.  About  all  tested  in  this 
country  have  turned  out  meritorious  ac- 
<juisitions.  The  first  was  named  Deutzia 
Lemoiuei,  and  said  to  be  the  result  of 
crossing  D.  gracilis  witli  I),  parviflora. 
The  pure  white  flowers  are  borne  on 
strong,  rather  upright  branches  in  the 
greatest  profusion.  While  less  dwarf  in 
habit  than  D.  gracilis,  it  is  highly  deco- 
rative outside,  and  has  proved  entirely 
hardy  in  New  York  state.  It  is  well 
liked  by  florists  and  is  used  in  increas- 
ing quantity  for  pot  <;ulture  under  glass. 
The  blooms  open  well  at  comparatively 
low  temperatures,  and  the  flowering  time 
is  readily  hastened  by  increa.sed  heat,  so 
that  it  is  an  easily  manageable  subject. 
A  dwarf er  and  more  compact  form  hav- 
ing the  same  general  character  but  more 
useful  for  greenhouse  blooming  has  been 
disseminated  under  the  name  of  D.  IjC- 
moinei  compacta. 

The  union  of  D.  glacilis  with  D.  dis- 
color purpurascens  has  rewarded  Lemoine 
with  an  especially  distinct  lot  of  hybrids, 
with  large,  bell-shaped  flowers,  with  pre- 
<lominating  rose  and  pink  colors.  The 
best  known  in  this  country  are  I),  cam- 
panulata,  with  nearly  white,  broadly  bell- 
shaped  blooms,  and  D.  gracilis  rosea, 
with  smaller  rose-colored  blooms.  Among 
more  recent  promising  varieties,  says  a 
Avriter  in  the  Rural  New-Yorker,  is  D. 
discolor  grandiflora,  with  the  largest 
flowers  of  all,  quite  an  inch  in  diameter, 
light  pink  with  a  deeper  shade  on  the  re- 
verse of  the  petals.  D.  kalmiu'flora,  with 
clusters  of  pink  flowers,  disposed  in 
broad  clusters  like  our  mountain  laurel, 
is  highly  spoten  of  abroad,  and  D.  Fleur 
de  Pommier  (Apple-blossom)  is  also  re- 
garded as  particularly  choice.  New  va- 
rieties are  issued  every  year  by  this  en- 
terprising nursery,  but  they  are  slow  in 
finding  their  way  to  this  country.

THALICTRUM  PURPUREUM. 

A  new  addition  to  noteworthy  hardy 
flowers  that  one  can  recommend  for  gen- 
eral cultivation  will  be  found  in  the 
American  Thalictrum  purpureum,  says  a 
writer  in  an  English  gardening  paper. 
It  is  doubtless  a  variety  of  the  Euro- 
pean T.  aquilegaefolium,  with  which  it 
agrees  somewhat  in  habit,  but  from  which 
it  is  oistinct  in  its  inflorescence. 

It  is  a  sturdy  border  plant,  a  yard 
high,  having  blue-purple  stems  furnished 
with  columbine-Uke  leafage  in  elegant 
fan-like  sprays  at  intervals,  and  the  fin- 
est inflorescence  of  any  thalictrum  save 
that  of  T.  glaucum.  The  general  color- 
ing of  young  flower  heads  is  a  deep 
mauve,  but  as  they  age  a  charming  tint 
of  rosy  heliotrope  succeeds  the  deep 
mauve,  and  persists  till  the  flowers  fall. 
The  inflorescences  consiat  of  plumy 
masses  of  mauve  stamens,  exceed  a  foot 
in  diameter,  and  are  more  freely 
branched  than  in  aquilegsef olium ;  hence 
the  heads  appear  looser  and  altogether 
more  elegant. 

The  flowers  of  T.  purpureum  are  of 
little  or  no  use  for  cutting,  the  stems 
being  hollow  and  unable  to  take  up 
water  freely;  despite  this  drawback,  the 
plants  are  second  to  none  for  grouping 
in  the  flower  border,  as  their  rich  and 
uncommon  coloring  attracts  at  once.  One 
should  isolate  this  thalictrum  from  bril- 
liant reds,  yellows,  and  other  combatant 
colors,  or  its  delicate  beauty  will  be  ut- 
terly spoiled. 

COPPER  SULPHATE  SOLUTION. 

I  have  lost  the  formula  for  the  copper 
solution.     Will  you  kindly  furnish  it? 

W.  C.  S. 


The  Florists*  Manual  gives  the  for- 
mula, as  follows: 

Copper  sulphate,  one  pound. 

Water,  fifteen  g^lons. 

Dissolve  the  copper  in  the  water,  when 
it  is  ready  for  use.  This  should  not  be 
used  on  any  foliage,  but  can  be  used 
on  the  wood  of  trees  and  shrubs  before 
the  buds  start. 


New  London,  Wis. — E.  H.  Olson  is 
about  to  double  the  capacity  of  his 
greenhouses.  The  two  present  buildings 
are  each  22x75.  The  new  plans  will  in- 
clude a  palm  house,  which  will  extend 
across    the   west    end    of    the    property.

There  IS  a  Test  for  You  to  Make 

» 

Vbu  don't  care  how  much  we  test  the  material  or  how  much  it  was  inspected  before  ship- 
ment if  you  find  that  your  houses  are  going  to  pieces  in  four  or  five  years  and  that  the  repair 
bills  amount  to  almost  as  much  as  the  original  cost  of  material— do  you?  You  are  not  looking 
for  smooth  advertisements  gotten  up  to  sell  something  that  yoii  find  afterwards  was  misrepre- 
sented— are  you  ?  But  if  your  greenhouse  material,  after  the  houses  are  erected,  stands  the  test 
of  durability,  if  they  stand  the  test  of  products  and  you  get  more  out  of  them  than  the  others 
you  bought  from  another  firm,  then  only  are  you  contented.  If  you  are  looking  for  honest 
values  and  for  cypress  material  that  will  stand  any  test  you  can  make,  we  want  to  tell  you 
something  about  our  product.  Of  course  we  make  our  own  tests  and  employ  an  expert  to 
inspect  all  the  cypress  three  times  before  it  is  shipped,  but  we  want  you  to  test  it  too.  Here's 
a  line  from  one  of  our  customers  about  durability: 

Gentlemen:  I  am  pleased  to  say  that  the 
two  houses  furnished  me  In  1896  are  lasting  bet- 
ter than  those  I  purchased  of  other  Arms.

A   TALK   ON       .>JOWING   THE   PRICE   OF 
EVERYTHING  AND  THE  VALUE  OF  NOTHING 


It's  this  way :  you  want  a  house — 
want  it  this  spring — want  it  up-to-date, 
but  not  so  up-to-date  it  hasn't  been 
thoroughly  tried  out.  So  you  write  to  a 
number  of  material  supply  concerns  for 
their  estimates  on  cypress  houses.  Then 
you  write  to  two  or  three  of  the  standard 
greenhouse  construction companiesand 
we  are  included  along  with  the  rest.  We 
look  your  proposition  over  and  advise 
building  one  of  our  Semi-iron  Houses. 
Our  estimate  then  is  based  not  on  an 
all-wood  house — not  on  wooden  posts, 
wooden  eave  plate — not  on  sashbars 
toe-nailed  directly  on  that  heavy 
shade-casting  plate  of  wood — not  on 
giving  you  materials  that  mean  repairs 
almost  at  once  and  a  chance  for  us  to 
sell  you  the  repairs.  But  that  estimate 
is  based  on  a  house  with  Galvanized 
Ice  Clearing  Eave  Plate  and  Sashbar 
Clasps — based  on  Angle  Iron  Posts  and 
Cast  Iron  Foot  Pieces — based  on  Pipe 
Purlins  and  Interchangeable  Pipe 
Column  Fittings,  making  that  rigid 
Giant  Arch  running  the  entire  length 
of  the  house.  It's  based  on  a  house 
that  is  built  to  stay — one  that  has  all 
sappy  parts  of  the  Cypress  sawed  out 


and  burned  up.  It's  an  estimate  that 
will  give  you,  dollar  for  dollar,  more 
value  than  any  other  sashbar  house 
that's  made.  In  an  honest  comparison  of 
materials  and constructionsourestimate 
is  not  high — the  other  fellow's  is  not  low. 
Thousands  of  feet  of  that  Eave  Plate 


Interior  of  a  Semi-iron  House.  Wonderfully  lifrht,  but 
rlgrid.  Costs  a  little  more  to  build  than  an  all-wood  bouse, 
but  it  will  coHt  more  if  you  don't  build  it. 

are  going  out  to  growers  who  often  buy 
their  Cypress  of  local  mills ;  they 
are  buying  our  Iron  Fittings  and  put- 
ting them  in  their  houses  because  they 
want  houses  that  last.  Don't  be 
bamboozled  into  buying  shade  traps, 
repair-drag  materials — only  the  best  is 
good  enough  for  you.     Write  to  Lord

Easter  Aftermath. 


By  the  time  these  notes  appear  in 
print  benches  of  Easter  plants  should  bo 
pretty  well  cleaned  out.  We  have  all 
been  taxed  for  room  for  some  weeks  and 
the  passing  of  the  lilies,  azaleas,  genistas 
and  other  Easter  stock  will  give  much 
room  which  is  badly  needed.  The 
geraniums,  as  the  most  important  bed- 
ding plants,  have  no  doubt  been  quite 
badly  crowded  of  late  and  should  be 
spread  out.  Pull  oflE  any  dead  leaves  and 
if  you  still  have  any  remaining  in  21/2- 
inch  pots  give  them  a  shift  at  once.  It 
will  pay  to  attend  to  these  details  now. 
It  may  mean  50  cents  or  75  cents  a  dozen 
in  their  value  Memorial  day. 

If  any  azaleas  are  left  unsold  do  not 
throw  them  away.  After  blooming,  pick 
off  all  seeds,  keep  them  well  watered  and 
at  the  end  of  May  plant  outdoors  where 
you  can  reach  them  with  the  hose  daily; 
you  will  have  fine  plants  for  another 
Easter. 

Genistas  can  be  kept  quite  cool.  Trim 
off  the  flowers  with  a  pair  of  shears  as 
they  fade.  Plunge  them  outside  rather 
than  plant  them  out,  as  they  do  not  lift 
well  from  the  open  ground. 

Any  left-over  herbaceous  spiraeas  may 
be  planted  out  in  well  manured  ground. 
Leave  them  there  until  the  fall  of  1908. 
Dig  up  and  force  them  and  you  will  have 
clumps  treble  the  size  of  the  imported 
ones  and  giving  far  finer  flowers.  The 
clumps  you  will  find  need  cutting  into 
two  or  three  to  get  them  into  6-inch  or 
7-inch  pots.  Use  your  left-over  dpirseas 
in  this  way  and  see  if  returns  are  not 
much  more  satisfactory  than  from  im- 
ported clumps,  which  sometimes  fail  to 
start  at  all. 

Cannas  will  now  be  starting  freely  and 
some  of  the  spare  bench  space  will  be 
needed  for  them.  They  always  sell  well 
and  should  have  good  attention  now. 

Do  not  allow  any  left-over  Easter 
plants  to  be  dotted  here  and  there  over 
the  houses.  Get  them  together  in  a 
batch  and  if  any  are  not  worth  holding 
over  throw  them  out  and  don't  waste 
further  energy  in  watering  them. 

Prepare  for  Memorial  Day. 
We  have  a  longer  breathing  spell  be- 
tween Easter  and  Memorial  day  than 
in  1906  and  this  gives  us  a  better  chance 
to  get  our  crops  along  for  the  latter 
holiday.  Lilies  should  now  be  well  above 
the  ground.  If  six  inches  high  they  will 
be  in  season.  Give  them  a  night  tem- 
perature of  60  degrees,  but  do  not  water 
too  freely  until  satisfied  they  are  well 
pot-bound.  Many  lilies  are  ruined  in 
the  early  stages  of  growth  by  overwater- 
ing,  and  we  would  hear  less  of  diseased 
stock  if  greater  judgment  were  exercised 
with  the  hose.  Spiraea  Japonica  and  its 
various  forms,  if  potted  at  once,  will  be 
in  season  for  Memorial  day.  If  large 
quantities  are  needed  use  boxes  six  to 
eight  inches  deep,  two  and  one -half  feet 
long  and  nine  inches  wide,  and  place  sev- 
eral clumps  in  a  box.  The  watering  will 
then  be  more  easily  handled. 


Crops  of  double  feverfew  and  candy- 
tuft should  receive  close  attention.  Avoid 
a  stuffy  atmosphere.  Plenty  of  ventila- 
tion and  50  degrees  at  night  will  suit 
them. 

Planting  and  Pruning. 

The  arrival  of  spring  means  that  many 
of  our  customers  will  want  roses  and 
various  shrubs  planted  or  pruned.     This 


forsythias,  loniceras,  spirajas,  deutzias, 
viburnums,  weigelias  and  many  others. 
Any  necessary  pruning  should  be  done 
after  flowering.  On  the  other  hand,  that 
well-known  and  popular  plant.  Hydrangea 
paniculata  grandiflora,  needs  hard  prun- 
ing back  to  secure  fine  flower  heads.  Cut 
it  back  to  three  or  four  eyes  of  last  sea- 
son's growth.  Desmodium  penduliflorum 
should  be  cut  back  now,  also  any  other 
shrubs  flowering  on  the  new  growth.  How 
often  do  we  see  many  of  our  handsome 
May  and  June-flowering  shrubs  trimmed 
with  a  balloon  shape  every  spring  by 
some  thoughtless  or  ignorant  workman. 
The  winter  has  been  a  rather  trying 
one  for  hardy  roses  and  but  for  generous 
snow  protection  they  would  have  suffered 
severely.  For  the  northern  and  western 
states  pruning  before  April  1  is  not  ad- 
visable. Weak  shoots  should  either  be 
cut  out  altogether  or  shortened  back  to 


A  Specimen  Easter  Offering  of  the  Ernst  Wienhoeber  Co.,  Chicago. 


work  cannot  be  left  to  any  handy  man, 
or  more  harm  than  good  mtfst  result. 
Few  men  understand  how  to  prune  prop- 
erly. Shrubs  which  bloom  on  wood 
made  last  year  must  not  be  pruned  in 
spring.      This      applies      to      syringas, 


six  inches.  The  strongest  shoots  should 
not  be  left  over  a  foot  long.  This  refers 
to  hybrid  perpetuals.  Hybrid  teas  need 
light  pruning  and  the  removal  of  dead 
wood.  For  the  ramblers  removal  of  dead 
wood,  shortening  back  the  long  shoots  a

little  and  cutting  out  the  weakest  if  too 
crowded  is  all  that  is  necessary. 

Attend  to  the  Seedlings. 

As  the  (lays  lengthen  the  sun  increases 
in  power  and  growth  of  all  plants  is  ac- 
celerated. It  will  be  necessary  to  watch 
the  many  flats  and  pans  of  seedlings 
closely.  They  are  now  growing  fast  and 
no  doubt  in  the  Easter  rush  many  need- 
ing attention  were  neglected.  Fibrous 
begonias  need  handling  while  quite  small. 
The  same  applies  to  gloxinias,  lobelias 
and  many  others  growing  from  fine  seeds. 
Use  for  all  seedlings  a  compost  with  a 
good  proportion  of  leaf-mold  in  it.  If 
some  well  broken  up  cow  manure  is  added 
or  the  manure  from  a  spent  hotbed  or 
mushroom  bed  the  seedlings  will  grow  all 
the  better.     Shade  all  newly  pricked-off 


nobile  and  Cymbidium  Lowianum;  J.  E. 
Rothwell  second  and  James  Stuart  third. 
The  last  named  had  an  excellent  speci- 
men of  Dcndrobium  nobile  in  his  collec- 
tion. Acacias  were  numerously  shown 
and  of  grand  quality.  For  twelve  plants 
in  not  less  than  three  varieties,  Thomas 
Roland  won  first  and  a  silver  Inedal  with 
beautiful    grown    and    flowered    lot; 

For    specimen 
first   and   James 
Stuart  second. 

For  climbing  roses,  M.  H.  Walsh  was 
first  and  second  for  handsome  specimens 
of  IJiawatha  and  Lady  Gay.  He  was 
also  first  and  secured  a  silver  medal  for 
six  ramblers,  with  a  capital  lot  includ- 
ing several  novelties.  W.  Whitman  was 
first  and  second  for  twelve  primroses 
and    polyanthuses;    Mrs.    A.    W.    Blake,

raria,  prizes  went  to  Messrs.  Stuart  and 
Whitman.  There  was  a  strong  class  for 
six  Cineraria  stellata,  W.  Whitman  tak- 
ing first  and  second  and  Mrs.  Gardner 
third.  W.  Whitman  won  first  in  every 
Dutch  bulb  class,  also  taking  a  number 
of  second  and  third  prizes.  Other  prize 
Avinners  were  Mrs.  J.  L.  Gardner  and 
Mrs.  A.  W.  Blake.  For  quality  all  these 
exhibits  were  in  the  first  class. 

Mrs,  J.  L.  Gardner  took  first  and  sec- 
ond for  six  schizanthuses.  Mrs.  J,  M. 
Sears,  W.  C.  Bitchie  gardener,  won  for 
six  amaryllises  with  a  fine  lot;  James 
Stuart  second.  Mrs.  J.  L.  Gardner  was 
the  only  exhibitor  of  a  collection  of 
herbaceous  spiraeas.  Sidney  Hoffman 
had  the  best  group  of  Easter  flowering 
plants  and  W.  Whitman  won  for  best 
general  display  of  spring  bulbous  plants, 
with  a  magnificent  lot  grandly  grown, 
which  were  awarded  also  a  cultural  cer- 
tificate. Mrs.  J.  L.  Gardner  took  Julius 
Roehrs  Co.  's  special  pHze  for  best 
group  of  hard-wooded  greenhouse  plants 
with  a  fine  collection  well  flowered. 

In  cut  flowers  roses  were  not  exten- 
sively shown.  Waban  Conservatories 
won  for  American  Beauty,  Bride  and 
Bridesmaid.  For  Richmond,  W.  H.  El- 
liott was  first  and  Exeter  Rose  Conserva-. 
tories  second.  For  any  other  variety, 
W.  H.  Elliott  won  with  superb  Killar- 
ney,  Exeter  Rose  Conservatories  follow- 
ing with  splendid  Chatenay.  In  the  pri- 
vate gardener's  classes,  James  Wheeler 
was  first  for  Bride  and  Bridesmaid  and 
second  for  Richmond,  F.  Heeremans  be- 
ing first  for  the  latter. 

For  100  carnations,  one  variety,  A. 
Roper  won  with  a  magnificent  vase  of 
his  new  variegated.  Bay  State.  This  was 
also  awarded  a  first-class  certificate. 
F.  R.  Pierson  Co.  was  second  for  a  fine 
vise  of  Winsor,  the  color  of  which  caught 
every  one's  eye.  For  crimson,  Wilfrid 
Wheeler,  S.  J.  Goddard  and  Backer  & 
Co.    won    in    order    named,    all    showing 


seedlings  for  a  few  days.  A  neglect  to 
do  this  may  mean  a  loss  of  many  of  the 
little  plants. 


THE  BOSTON  SPRING  SHOT. 

The  unanimous  verdict  on  this  year's 
spring  exhibition  at  Boston  was  that  it 
was  the  best  the  Massachusetts  Horti- 
cultural Society  has  ever  held.  It  was 
feared  that  the  near  approach  of  Easter 
would  affect  the  exhibition  and  that  the 
lack  of  the  American  Rose  Society 's  dis- 
play, Avhich  was  a  feature  in  1906,  would 
leave  a  big  blank  space.  All  the  fears 
proved  groundless.  Of  course  fewer 
roses  were  shown  than  a  year  ago,  but 
the  exhibits  in  all  other  sections  were 
more  extensive  and  of  a  higher  quality. 
The  arrangements  were  tastefully  car- 
ried out  and  reflected  great  credit  on 
Messrs.  Cameron  and  Farquhar.  All  the 
halls  were  utilized ;  in  fact,  every  inch  of 
space  was  occupied. 

Taking  the  pot  plants  first,  as  they 
were  the  star  feature  of  the  show:  For 
six  Indian  azaleas,  in  a  strong  class,  the 
prizes  went  to  William  Whitman,  M. 
Sullivan    gardener;    James    Stuart    and 

E.  W.  Breed.     For  pair  of  palms,  Mrs. 

F.  Ayer,  George  Page  gardener,  won 
with  Areca  lutescens;  William  Whit- 
man second  with  kentias.  Mrs.  Ayer  was 
first  for  six  ericas,  showing  plants  three 
feet  in  height,  densely  flowered.  For 
three  orchids  there  was  a  strong  entry. 
W.  WTiitman  won  with  beautiful  speci- 
mens of  Coelogyne  cristata,  Dendrobium 


A  Section  of  the  Boston  Spring  Flower  Show. 


J.  L.  Smith  gardener,  third.  Cycla- 
mens, as  usual,  were  grandly  shown. 
Dr.  C.  G.  Weld,  W.  C.  Rust  gardener, 
led  for  ten  plants.  For  group  of  cycla- 
mens arranged  for  effect,  James  Stuart 
won  with  a  splendid  group.  For  six 
cinerarias,  James  Stuart  led,  followed  by 
J.  H.  Brooks,  George  M.  Anderson  gar- 
dener, and  Mrs.  J.  L.  Gardner,  Wm. 
Thatcher  gardener.     For  specimen  cine- 


Harry  Fenn.  For  dark  pink,  E.  A.

second  with  Pink  Patten.  For  light

dard, Backer  &  Co.  second  with  Rose- 
pink  Enchantress.  For  daybreak  pink, 
Mrs.  E.  S.  Grew,  A.  E.  Parsons,  gar- 
dener; S.  J.  Goddard  and  C.  S.  Strout 
won,  all  showing  Enchantress.  Mr.  God-

Variegated  Lawson. 

For  pansies  prizes  went  to  Mrs.  E.  M. 
aill,  Mrs.  H.  A.  Jahn  anu  N.  F.  Com- 
ley.  In  a  strong  class  of  100  single 
violets,  Louis  Smith  won,  followed  by 
H.  F.  Calder  and  E.  Bingham.  All

ver gilt  medal  for  finest  display  of  cut

rieties  capitally   arranged. 

Miscellaneous  exhibits  were  numerous. 
E.  &  J.  Farquhar  &  Co.  received  a  sil- 
ver medal  for  an  extensive  and  finely 
arranged  group  of  bulbous  plants,  palms, 
etc.  The  Harvard  Botanic  Gardens, 
Eobert  Cameron  gardener,  also  had  a 
magnificent  group.  Edward  MacMulkin 
put  up  a  good  group  of  foliage  and 
flowering  plants.  Dr.  C.  G.  Weld  also 
had  a  fine  group.  George  Page  re- 
ceived a  cultural  certificate  for  splendid 
specimens  of  Marguerite  Queen  Alexan- 
dra and  Thomas  Boland  a  similar  award 
for  what  were  probably  the  finest  genis- 
tas of  pyramidal  form  ever  seen  in  the 
halls.  Prof.  C.  S.  Sargent,  Charles  San- 
der gardener,  showed  a  large  agave  in 
flower,  which  attracted  much  attention. 

One  of  the  features  of  the  show  was 
the  group  of  seventy-five  cyclamens, 
eighteen  months  from  seed,  shown  by 
George  M.  Anderson,  These  were  a 
meritorious  lot  and  worthily  earned  the 
silver  medal  awarded  their  skillful  grow- 
er. M,  H.  Walsh  secured  a  first-cla.ss. 
certificate  for  his  new  rambler  rose, 
Milky  Way,  a  beautiful  single  white  with 
prominent  stamens.  Jos,  Breck  &  Son

vals.    They  also  had  in  the  main  hall  a 


large  bed  representing  an  old-fashioned 
perennial  border  composed  of  bulbous 
stock  and  herbaceous  perennials,  Wal- 
ter Hunnewell,  T,  D,  Hatfield  gardener, 
had  a  dozen  magnificently  flowered 
Acacia  heterophylla  and  was  awarded 
a  silver  medal,  Mrs,  J.  W.  Tufts,  Med- 
ford,  James  Crestre  gardener,  received

well a  certificate  of  merit  for  the  pure 
white  Dendrobium  nobile  album.  Lager 
&  Hurrell  had  a  small  group  of  orchids. 
They  received  a  certificate  of  merit  for 
Calanthe  vestita  ignea-oculata  gigantea.

BACTERIA  ON  GERANIUMS. 

Jn  the  February  28  issue  of  the  Ee- 
viEW  there  was  a  note  entitled  "Trouble 
with  Geraniums,"  signed  A.  N.  S.  Not 
having  occasion  to  see  these  leaves,  of 
course  I  do  not  pretend  to  know  what 
is  the  cause  of  the  trouble,  but  I  wish 
to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  in  the 
report  of  Hatch  Experiment  Station, 
Amherst,  Mass.,  published  in  1898,  is  de- 
scribed a  bacterial  disease  of  the  gera- 
nium. Only  a  short  reference  was  made 
to  it,  but  we  have  observed  this  disease 
every  year  since  its  discovery,  and  have 
learned  that  in  some  sections  it  has  be- 
come more  or  less  a  serious  matter.  Ac- 
cording to  our  observations  it  is  more 
common  outdoors,  but  when  outdoor  stock 
is  taken  into  a  house  we  occasionally  find 
it  on  the  plants  during  the  winter. 

This  trouble  is  characterized  by  brown 
spots  on  the  leaves,  and  these  spots  may 
be  numerous  enough  so  that  a  large  por- 
tion of  the  leaf  is  involved.     The  spots

resemble  blisters  somewhat,  and  are  usu- 
sually  one-eighth  of  an  inch  or  more  in 
diameter.  "We  have  made  an  examina- 
tion of  -these  spots  for  years  and  have 
always  found  them  associated  with  bac- 
teria. Sometimes  these  organisms  are 
more  numerous  than  others,  but  we  have 
always  found  them  in  the  cells  and  in 
the  margin  of  the  spot. 

There  are,  of  course,  other  causes  for 
the  spotting  of  geraniums  which  have 
been  correctly  alluded  to  by  one  of  your 
correspondents. 

We  know  of  nothing  that  has  been  ac- 
complished of  a  practical  nature  for  the 
prevention  of  this  bacterial  spotting  of 
geraniums.  Our  observations  seem  to 
show  that  the  trouble  is  more  common  to 
geraniums  exposed  to  the  bright  sun- 
shine  during  the  summer   than  those  in 


the  shade.

MARKETING  GROWERS' PRODUCT. 

[An  essay  by  M.  B.  Faxon,  of  Columbus,  O., 
awarded  third  prize  In  the  W.  F.  Kastlng  con- 
vention competition.] 

This  is  a  vital  question,  and  on  its  ra- 
tional solution  depends  not  only  the  busi- 
nes  success  of  the  large  wholesale  grow- 
ers, but  also  the  very  existence  of  the 
little  men,  with  their  one,  or  at  the 
most,  half  a  dozen  greenhouses.  In  con- 
sidering this  matter  we  must  have  clearly 
in  our  mind  this  fact,  that  whether  a 
man  has  one  small  greenhouse  or  100 
large  ones,  he  is  a  wholesale  grower  if 
fee  sells  his  product  to  another  man  to 
sell  again;  in  other  words,  quantity  has 
nothing  whatever  to  do  with  determining 
the  grade  of  trade  a  man  is  in — it  is 
what  he  does  with  his  product  that  set- 
tles the  question.  Growing  a  vast  quan- 
tity of  stock  no  more  makes  a  florist  a 
wholesale  grower  than  a  man  limited  to 
the  output  of  one  small  greenhouse  is  a 
retail  dealer.  I  have  tried  to  give  you 
a  clear  definition  of  what  I  understand 
the  word  "wholesale"  to  mean — other- 
wise, I  am  afraid  what  is  to  follow 
would  have  had  a  mixed  meaning  to  you. 
The  tendency  of  the  times  is  towards 
large  establishments,  towards  consolida- 
tion of  interests;  but  whether  this  is 
practical,  as  applied  to  the  subject  under 
discussion,  I  am  very  much  in  doubt; 
in  fact,  I  think  it  is  not  beyond  a  reason- 
able limit. 

Quantity  and  Quality. 

There  is  one  essential  and  vital  point 
of  difference  between  an  establishment 
•where  plants  or  flowers  are  produced, 
and  a  manufacturing  business  of  almost 


any  kind,  and  it  is  this:  The  larger 
the  manufacturing  plant,  the  better 
should  be  the  product;  but  as  an  estab- 
lishment for  growing  flowers  or  raising 
plants  becomes  larger  and  larger,  as  a 
rule  the  product  turned  out  suffers  in 
quality.  I  fully  understand  that  there 
are  brilliant  exceptions  to  all  rules,  but 
that  only  goes  to  prove  my  statement, 
which  I  think  no  practical  florist  or 
plant  grower  will  deny. 

On  the  other  hand,  we  all  are  ac- 
quainted with  some  little  growers  who 
produce  such  superb  stock  that  they  have 
established  a  name  for  their  product 
that  insures  its  sale  the  moment  it 
appears  in  any  market,  and  at  the  very 
top  price.  The  point  I  wish  to  empha- 
size here  is,  that  large  establishments  in 
our  line,  if  they  are  large  enough,  put  a 
limit  to  quality;  while  the  little  grower 
still  imparts  to  his  plants  and  flowers 
that  individuality  which  reveals  the  guid- 
ance of  the  master  hand  and  gives  to 
his  product  the  '  *  hall  mark ' '  of  superb 
quality. 

I  wish  forcibly  here  to  maintain  that 
the  little  wholesale  grower  has,  in  these 
years  of  greenhouse  expansion,  an  op- 
portunity for  his  quality  product  to  find 
a  lucrative  market  as  never  before.  This 
question  of  amount  of  stock  produced 
and  its  quality  has  a  most  intimate  con- 
nection with  finding  a  market  for  it. 

Territory  Limited. 

Plants  and  flowers,  owing  to  their 
perishable  nature,  have  a  limit  of  terri- 
tory in  which  they  can  be  sold  and  give 
satisfaction  to  the  buyer.  This  may  be 
a  500-mile  limit,  or  it  may  be  much 
greater;  but,  be  it  more  or  less,  there 
is  a  limit.  We  have  by  long  custom 
become  so  used  to  this  limitation  of  sell- 
ing territory  that  we  imperceptibly  do 
our  daily  business  without  thinking 
much,  if  anything,  about  it.  Neverthe- 
less, we  have  a  serious  handicap  in  this 
respect  that  dealers  in  goods  not  perish- 
able do  not  have  to  take  into  considera- 
tion. 

Now,  it  being  a  fact  that  we  have  a 
limited  territory  in  which  to  secure  cus- 
tomers, it  most  certainly  behooves  us  to 
study  well  the  needs  and  requirements 
of  our  territory  for  trade,  and  cater  ju- 
diciously to  our  market.  Remember  al- 
ways that  ours  is  a  business  in  which, 
granting  quality  and  price  equal,  the 
retailer  will,  as  a  rule,  purchase  from 
the  nearest  grower.  It  certainly  ^  takes 
business    acumen    and   vigilance    of    the 


never-give-up  kind  to  hold  what  should 
be  the  legitimate  customers  of  a  grow- 
er's territory. 

Value  of  Advertisinc;. 

As  a  business  builder  for  large  whole- 
sale plant  and  flower  growers,  those  of 
us  who  are  large  enough  to  maintain  a 
selling  headquarters  and  produce  an  al- 
most unlimited  amount  of  seasonable 
stock  for  every  day  in  the  year,  there  is 
nothing  equal  to  systematic,  persistent 
advertising  in  the  standard  trade  papers 
devoted  to  our  business.  Advertising  is 
cumulative  in  its  effects;  any  given 
amount  spent  steadily  increases  your 
business  more  and  more  with  every  year 
that  passes.  But  it  must  be  supported 
by  honesty  and  fulfillment  of  promises. 

Now,  in  order  to  be  justified  in  build- 
ing a  business  by  advertising,  especially 
in  cut-flowers,  a  large  establishment  must 
be  behind  the  advertising,  as  otherwise 
you  will  sooner  or  later  be  receiving 
continuous  daily  orders  that  cannot  be 
filled.  And  here  again  is  where  this 
business  differs  from  almost  all  others: 
You  are  limited  to  your  own  productions. 
Once  sold  out,  you  cannot  replace  like 
other  lines  of  trade. 

G>mmi8s{on  Florists. 

A  grower  who  daily  has  large  quan- 
ties  of  cut  flowers  to  find  a  market  for, 
and  yet  does  not  wish  to  maintain  a 
selling  establishment  of  his  own,  cannot 
do  better  than  to  entrust  a  wholesale 
commission  florist  with  the  entire  selling 
of  his  stock.  Now,  if  you  expect  good 
returns  from  your  flowers,  you  must  give 
your  commission  florist  a  chance  to  rep- 
resent you  properly  and  get  you  good 
returns;  and  the  only  way  to  accomplish 
this  is  to  send  all  your  stock  every  day 
in  the  year  to  him.  Then  you  will  be 
one  of  the  instrumental  elements  that 
go  to  make  his  business  a  success,  and 
if  his  business  is  to  continue  prosperous 
he  must  for  self-preservation  return  to 
you  a  good  price  (the  market  price)  for 
your  stock. 

"You  cannot  hi.>e  your  cake  and  eat 
it  too" — you  cannot  sell  all  you  can 
anywhere  and  to  anybody  who  will  pay 
you  a  good  price,  and  then  send  the 
leavings  and  culls  to  your  commission 
man,  expecting  any  return.  You  will 
fare  by  him  as  well  as  you  treat  him, 
and  no  better.  Wholesale  all  your  stock 
through  him,  and  he  will  make  it  his 
business  that  you  receive  the  fullest 
measure  of  value  for  every  flower  you 
grow.

The  Small  Grower. 

The  small  wholesale  grower  of  plants 
and  flowers  will,  on  the  other  hand,  do 
much  better  to  find  one  or  more  retail 
dealers  who  will  handle  his  product. 
Especially,  if  he  be  a  grower  of  the 
"superb  quality  stock,"  will  he  en- 
counter no  trouble  in  finding  dealers 
with  whom  he  can  contract  his  entire 
cut  by  the  year.  I  have  a  case  in  mind 
where  a  grower  of  carnations,  with  only 
two  small  greenhouses  and  a  cut  not 
exceeding  a  few  hundred  a  day,  has  done 
well  and  made  money  by  contracting  the 
entire  product  of  his  houses  by  the  year. 
Being  a  grower  of  superb  stock,  he  can 
do  this  without  the  least  trouble,  and 
the  extra  price  obtained  always  insures 
a  handsome  profit.  The  same  method  of 
disposal  applies  with  equal  force  to  the 
plant  product  of  a  small  grower.  There 
are  always  plenty  of  retail  dealers  only 
too  willing  and  ready  to  purchase  well- 
grown,  seasonable  plants. 

The  Best  Method. 

I  believe  that  the  best  method  of 
marketing  our  product  depends  wholly 
upon  the  size  of  the  establishment  we 
wish  t6  maintain,  and  the  volume  of 
those  of  us  whose  desires  are  to  build  a 
business  of  the  largest  magnitude;  that 
is,  one  of  the  mammoth  establishments 
of  the  present  day,  there  is  no  way  equal 
to  legitimate  trade  newspaper  advertis- 
ing. Proper  advertising,  regularly  and 
persistently  followed,  will  dispose  of  all 
the  plants  and  flowers  any  establishment 
can  produce. 

For  the  large  grower  of  cut  flowers, 
who  does  not  wish  to  maintain  an  estab- 
lishment of  his  own  for  selling  his  prod- 
uct, there  is  no  better  outlet  than  through 
the  agency  of  the  wholesale  commission 
florist,  as  fully  explained. 

Do  not  think  I  have  forgotten  the 
little  grower,  for  such  is  very  far  from 
the  case.  I  am  sure,  from  personal  ex- 
perience, that  in  no  way  can  he  begin  to 
realize  the  substantial  prorits  from  his 
labors  as  by  contracting  his  entire  prod- 
uct, both  plants  and  flowers,  to  some 
good  retailer,  who  has  a  trade  that  de- 
mands goods  of  the  best  quality.  For 
the  little  grower  has  no  excuse  for  turn- 


ing out  anything  else.  Even  tne  larger 
grower  of  plants  will  always  find  plenty 
of  nearby  retail  dealers  ready  to  take 
them. 

In  closing,  allow  me  one  word  of  ad- 
vice— the  best  advertising  sign  a  whole- 
sale grower  ever  puts  up  in  his  green- 
houses contains  these  words:  "No  Goods 
at  Retail." 


PACKING  AND  EXPRESS  RATES. 

[A  paper  by  C.  W.  Eichllng,  New  Orleans, 
read  before  the  Society  of  Southern  Florists,  at 
its  first  annual  convention,  at  New  Orleans,  Feb- 
ruary 14  to  16,  1907.] 

If  we  consider  that  the  plants  and 
flowers  annually  shipped  over  the  United 
States  are  valued  at  millions  of  dol- 
lars, the  immense  business  of  transporta- 
tion companies,  and  especially  express 
companies,  becomes  evident. 

Why  do  shippers  of  plants,  bulbs  and 
seeds  enjoy  special  low  express  rates? 
Simply  because  the  express  companies 
compete  with  the  United  States  mail. 
Uncle  Sam  was  the  first  good  friend  of 
the  florist ;  he  offered  to  carry  his  plants, 
bulbs  and  sQpds  to  any  part  of  the 
United  States  at  the  rate  of  two  ounces 
for  1  cent,  or  8  cents  per  pound,  in 
packages  up  to  four  pounds. 

Now  comes  the  express  company  and 
goes  Uncle  Sam  one  better,  and  says  to 
the  florist :  "If  you  will  pack  right, 
we  will  carry  your  goods  at  the  same 
rate  as  Uncle  Sam,  and  give  you  a  re- 
ceipt, which  Uncle  Sam  refuses  to  do, 
and  if  you  prepay  your  shipments  we 
will  return  you  2  cents  on  every  ship- 
ment weighing  from  fifty  to  seventy- 
four  ounces."  A  package  weighing  fifty 
ounces  would  cost  25  cents  by  mail  and 
23  cents  by  express,  if  prepaid.  The 
minimum  express  charge  is  10  cents  on 
packages  up  to  twenty  ounces.  This 
prepaid  matter  is  called  in  the  express 
tariff,  section  D  matter,  and  the  rate 
applies  on  packages  up  to  seventy-four 
ounces.  The  difference  between  mail 
and  express  rates  in  this  class  is  a  sav- 
ing of  2  cents  per  package  if  shipped 
by  express,  besides  getting  a  receipt 
for  it. 

General  Special  Rate. 

Packages    weighing   over    seventy-four 


ounces  are  billed  out,  whether  prepaid 
or  not,  at  what  is  called  the  "general 
special"  rate,  which  I  shall  now  ex- 
plain. 

If  the  florists  were  compelled  to  pay 
regular  merchandise  rates  on  plant  ship- 
ments there  would  be  no  end  to  com- 
plaints, and  yet,  why  should  the  florist 
be  the  favored  one  among  the  great 
number  of  other  shippers  who  all  pay 
regular  merchandise  rates,  with  a  few 
exceptions?  The  florist  enjoys  the  gen- 
eral special  rate,  which  is  from  twenty 
to  thirty-three  and  one-third  per  cent 
lower  than  the  regular  merchandise  rate. 
The  rates  are  adopted  by  all  express 
companies  belonging  to  the  traffic  com- 
mittee, and  it  becomes  the  duty  of  every 
shipper  or  receiver  of  bulbs,  plants  and 
seeds  to  study  these  rates  in  order  to 
avoid  and  to  be  able  to  correct  mis- 
takes. 

A  plant  shipment  to  enjoy  this  special 
rate  must  be  packed  in  a  closed  box 
so  it  may  be  handled  with  other  express 
matter  without  any  special  care.  Plants 
packed  in  baskets  do  not  come  under 
this  class.  They  must  be  handled  with 
more  care,  and  the  express  company 
charges  you  for  this  extra  work  by  ap- 
plying the  pound  rate,  which  is  a  little 
higher  than  the  general  special  rate,  but 
still  much  less  than  the  regular  merchan- 
dise rate.  For  instance,  where  a  ten- 
pound  package  of  merchandise  from  Chi- 
cago to  New  Orleans  would  cost  $1.10,  a 
ten-pound  basket  of  plants  would  cost 
40  cents,  and  if  packed  in  a  box,  only 
35  cents.  Thirty-five  cents  is  the  mini- 
nuim  charge  for  a  box  or  package  of 
plants  at  general  special  rates. 

The  general  special  rate  adopted  by 
the  traffic  committee  is  as  follows,  using 
100  pounds  as  a  basis : 

If  Mdse.  Rate  Is  $1.00  Genl  Special  is    $  .80 

If  Mdse.  Kate  is  2.00  Gen'I  Special  is      1.50 

If  Mdse.  Kate  is  3.00  Gen'I  Special  is     2.25 

If  Mdse.  Rate  Is  4.00  Genl  Special  Is     2.90 

If  Mdse.  Rate  Is  5.00  Gen'I  Special  Is     3.40 

If  Mdse.  Kate  is  6.00  Gen'I  Special  Is     4.00 

The  merchandise  rate  between  New 
Orleans  and  Springfield,  Ohio,  is  $3.50 
per  hundred  pounds,  or  $2.90  special 
rate,  which  means  2  9-10  cents  per 
pound.     Then,  a  box  of  plants  weighing

sixty  pounds  would  be  carried  between 
these  two  points  for  $1.74. 

It  must  be  said,  in  justice  to  the  ex- 
press companies,  that  all  their  em- 
ployes are  instructed  to  observe  the  tar- 
iff on  general  specials,  but  the  trouble 
is  that  few  bill  clerks  ever  study  these 
regulations.  Especially  agents  in  small 
towns,  where  general  specials  are  an  ex- 
ception, are  liable  to  overcharge  on 
plant  shipments,  and  the  receiver,  who 
may  not  be  familiar  with  the  correct 
charges,  gets  disgusted  with  the  high  ex- 
press rates.  Thousands  of  customers  are 
annually  lost  in  this  manner,  and  it  be- 
comes  the   duty   of   the   shipper  to   call 


the  express  agent's  attention  to  the  class 
of  matter  to  which  his  shipment  belongs. 
This  may  be  done  by  having  on  your 
shipping  tags  the  remark,  printed  in 
bold  type :  '  *  Live  Plants  —  Special 
Bate,"  or  by  attaching  a  special  card, 
stating  weight  and  correct  express 
charges  to  destination.  This  requires  a 
complete  knowledge  of  rates  between  the 
different  points,  which  may  be  obtained 
at  any  express  oflS.ce. 

It  is  advisable  for  a  receiver  of  a  plant 
shipment,  before  paying  charges,  to  ask 
the  agent  whether  the  shipment  is  billed 
at  special  rate,  and  in  most  cases  mis- 
takes will  be  avoided. 


CARNATION  NOTES.— VEST. 


Hot  Weather  Notes. 

During  the  last  week  we  have  passed 
through  the  hottest  weather  the  writer 
has  ever  seen  in  March,  and  if  it  had 
been  a  few  weeks  later  it  would  have 
made  one  think  seriously  of  getting  the 
young  stock  out  in  the  field.  Even  as 
it  was,  in  looking  around  one  could  see 
preparations  going  on  which  will  not 
be  seasonable  for  another  month.  While 
it  is  a  good  plan  to  get  the  young  stock 
out  just  as  quickly  as  possible  after  the 
weather  is  safe,  we  have  never  consid- 
ered it  wise  to  put  them  out  when  there 
is  yet  danger  of  frosts  and  snow.  We 
have  seen  some  fine  stock  ruined  by  such 
a  policy.  We  do  not  consider  it  safe 
anywhere,  above  Mason  and  Dixon's 
line,  before  April  15  to  set  out  tender 
stock,  and  frequently  the  weather  is  such 
in  our  locality  as  to  prevent  a  start 
before  May  1.  A  young  plant,  if  it  is 
not  too  pot-bound,  is  better  off  indoors 
if  good  growing  weather  does  not  prevail 
outdoors.  So  don 't  get  anxious,  but 
keep  your  young  plants  in  good  growing 
condition  and  wait  for  safe  weather. 
You  cannot  afford  to  run  any  risks  with 
your  next  season's  stock  for  the  sake 
of  a  few  extra  days  in  the  field,  lou 
can  make  all  your  preparations,  however, 
and  I  will  speak  of  them  in  due  time.  It 
pays  to  get  an  early  start  in  all  opera- 
tions connected  with  carnation  growing. 

Such  hot  weather  as  we  have  been  hav- 
ing is  hard  on  the  blooming  stock.  With 
the  ventilators  wide  open  to  keep  the 
temperature  down  and  a  drying  wind 
blowing,  the  buds  hang  over  the  sup- 
ports. The  color  bleaches  out  of  the 
pink  varieties  enough  to  make  the  blooms 
unsalable,  unless  they  are  handled  skill- 
fully. The  most  natural  impulse  would 
be  to  apply  a  little  shade  on  the  glass, 
and,  except  for  the  tear  of  what  might 
happen  to  the  Easter  cut  in  case  of  a 
cool,  cioudy  spell  this  week,  we  would 
be  tempted  to  resort  to  it.  Better  lose 
a  few  blooms  than  run  the  chance  of 
reducing  your  Easter  cut  to  any  extent. 
"iou  can  overcome  the  effects  of  the  hot 
sun  on  the  color,  to  a  marked  degree, 
by  cutting  the  blooms  quite  close  every 
morning.  Cut  them  just  as  soon  as  they 
are    far    enough    along    to     develop    in 


water.  In  that  way  you  can  put  off 
shading  as  long  as  the  houses  do  not 
become  too  hot  for  the  plants.  The 
plants  like  the  bright  sunshine  and,  as 
long  as  the  temperature  can  be  kept 
down  by  ventilation  to  a  reasonable  de- 
gree, no  shading  should  be  done. 

Until  the  plants  become  accustomed 
to  the  hot  sun  it  will  pay  to  spray  them 
lightly  right  after  noon,  in  addition  to 
the  regular  morning's  watering.  In- 
stead of  shooting  it  on  the  plants,  like 
when  you  syringe,  shoot  it  up  high 
through  the  air  in  a  fine  spray.  This 
will  cool  off  the  house,  as  well  as  spray 
the  plants.  A.  F.  J.  Baur. 


CARNATION  MAY. 

Carnation  May,  illustrated  in  this  is- 
sue, is  a  seedling  raised  by  Baur  & 
Smith,  of  Indianapolis.  Its  parents  (it 
has  only  two!)  were  seedlings  originat- 
ing on  the  place.  The  size  is  moderate, 
two  and  one-half  to  three  and  one-half 
inches.     The  firm  says  of  it: 

* '  May  is  a  strictly  commercial  va- 
riety. .  We  do  not  expect  it  to  displace 
Enchantress  in  the  fancy  class,  but  it  is 
just  what  the  *rade  has  been  looking 
for  in  a  light  pink  to  grade  with  stand- 
ard sorts.  The  -color  is  much  deeper 
than  in  Enchantress.  The  bloom  is  not 
so  crowded  in  the  center,  which  allows 
it  to  open  up  perfectly  right  away.  The 
form  is  round  and  well  built  up  in  the 
center.  The  calyx  never  splits  and  the 
stem  always  is  strong.  Growth  is  strong 
and  healthy  and  it  grows  in  height  about 
the  same  as  Bountiful.  It  comes  into 
bloom  early  and  is  extremely  free." 


TOPPING  CARNATION  PLANTS. 

Will  you  kindly  inform  me  how  to  top 
young  carnation  plants?  Mine  are  in  2- 
inch  and  3-inch  pots  and  are  sending  up 
one  straight  shoot  and  I  would  like  to 
know  where  and  how  to  top  them. 

E.  H.  O. 

The  proper  time  to  top  young  carna- 
tion plants  is  when  they  begin  to  run 
up  to  bud  and  as  soon  as  you  can  see 
the  stem  between  the  leaves.  It  will  do 
the  plant  no  damage  to  progress  as  far 
as  forming  the  bud,  but  we  consider 
that  to  allow  them  to  progress  that  far 
is  to  waste  a  coupie  of  weeks  of  time 
during  which  they  might  as  well  be 
making  new  breaks.

say  it  depends  somewhat  on  the  variety 
and  the  young  plant,  too.  Some  va- 
rieties, when  they  are  topped,  will  break 
from  nearly  every  eye  above  the  soil, 
while  others  will  break  from  only  three 
or  four  eyes,  and  you  must  top  them  ac- 
cordingly. The  first  named  should  be 
topped  as  high  as  possible  without  leav- 
ing any  eyes  that  will  throw  flower 
buds.  These  usually  need  not  be  topped 
more  than  about  twice  to  make  fine 
plants.  The  other  kind  must  not  be 
topped  too  high,  as  they  always  break 
from  the  eyes  nearest  the  end,  and  if 
you  get  too  much  stem  below  the  body 
of  the  plant  it  is  likely  to  get  top-heavy 
and  fall  over  before  digging  time.  Until 
you  become  familiar  with  your  varieties 
it  would  be  advisable  to  top  all  of  them 
about  medium  and  then  be  guided  in  the 
future  by  the  way  they  break  away  this 
time.  Leave  five  or  six  joints  above  the 
soil. 

Some  growers  top  all  varieties  as  high 
as  possible,  thinking  it  advantageous  to 
have  considerable  stem  between  the  soil 
and  the  crown  of  the  plant.  One  argu- 
ment is  that  it  helps  to  prevent  stem-rot, 
but  I  do  not  agree  with  that  theory. 
You  will  find  that  when  a  plant  breaks 
from  an  eye  below  the  surface  the 
growth  below  the  surface  will  be  the 
same  as  that  of  the  plant  between  the 
roots  and  the  surface,  and  it  will  not 
decay  like  a  branch  that  is  covered  after 
it  is  grown. 

As  for  stem-rot,  if  the  fungus  is  in 
the  soil  and  the  atmospheric  conditions 
are  right,  it  will  attack  the  plants,  and, 
whether  the  stems  are  long  or  short, 
will  make  no  difference.  On  the  other 
hand,  if  the  stems  are  short,  there  is  less 
danger  of  too  deep  planting,  as  the 
plants  will  stand  up  better.

TUFA  STONE. 

Tufa  is  a  material  which  has  come  to 
be  largely  used  for  rockeries,  grottoes, 
fountains  and  the  like,  where  an  irregu- 
lar effect  is  desired,  a  natural  or  in- 
formal effect,  in  contrast  to  the  regular 
and  artificial.  Tufa  stone  is  manufac- 
tured by  the  Tufa  Incrustation  Co.,  an 
Ohio  concern,  and  is  shipped  in  any  de- 


sired quantity,  being  easily  placed  in 
position  by  any  builder  or  gardener. 
The  accompanying  illustration  was  pre- 
pared from  a  photograph  made  in  the 
conservatory  of  Isaac  Ellwood,  the 
barbed-wire  magnate,  at  De  Kalb,  111. 
This  rockery  was  built  by  Probst  & 
Christianson,  the  horticultural  builders, 
who  are  the  sole  western  agents  for  tufa 
stone. 


BY  A  GROWER. 

I  know,  blue,   modest   violets. 
Gleaming  wkh  dew  at  morn — 

I   know  the  place  you  come  from. 
And  the  way  that  you  are  bom! 

When  God  cut  holes  In  heaven — 
The  holes  the  stars   look   through — 

He  let  the  scraps  fall  down  to  earth; 
The  little  scraps  are  you. 


PLANTS  FOR  FRAMES. 

What  is  the  best  manure  and  what 
kind  of  fertilizer  should  I  use  on  the 
ground  for  violets  to  be  set  out  this 
spring?  They  will  be  covered  with  cold- 
frames  in  the  autumn.  Which  make  the 
best  plants,  the  new  runners  or  the 
crowns?  What  is  the  best  way  to  keep 
down  red  spider?  J.  P.  W. 


There  is  nothing  better  for  violets,  in 
the  way  of  fertilizer,  than  well-rotted 
cow  manure.  Of  course  if  it  really  is 
impossible  to  procure  this,  we  would 
use  well-rotted  horse  manure,  but  it 
must  be  well-rotted;  for  instance,  such 
as  has  been  used  in  hotbeds  and  the 
heat  all  spent,  and  in  fine,  good,  work- 
ing condition.  ,T.  P.  W.  does  not  say 
what  kind  of  soil  he  has,  but  the  chances 
are  that  when  he  is  spreading  his  ma- 
nure  a  dusting  of  lime  would  be  bene- 


ficial, as  would  also  a  little  salt,  say 
about  a  pint  to  a  bushel  of  manure. 
This  helps  to  fine  the  manure  and  kills 
the  white  grubs  that  breed  in  the  ma- 
nure. New  runners  are  preferred,  by 
all  means.  Note  our  remarks  only  a 
short  time  ago.  But  it  is  getting  late  in 
the  season,  so  that  if  you  have  not  al- 
ready worked  up  your  stock  you  may 
have  to  divide  the  crowns. 

The  best  way,  by  far,  to  keep  down 
red  spider  is  not  to  let  it  get  a  foothold, 
as  it  takes  time,  as  well  as  lots  of  water 
sprayed  on  with  force,  to  eradicate  the 
pest  when  once  it  gets  established.  And, 
too,  it  is  so  much  h?rder  to  do  in  frames 
than  where  you  grow  your  violets  in  the 
house.  B.  E.  S. 

TEACHING  HORTICULTURE. 

Professor  L.  H.  Bailey,  director  of  the 
Agricultural  Department  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity, has  been  giving  some,  excellent 
advice  on  the  all-important  question  of 
training  young  men  who  intend  engaging 
in  horticultural  pursuits.  Speaking  at 
a  meeting  of  horticulturists,  he  said  that 
"the  time  is  past  when  mere  expository 
work — instruction  by  means  of  lectures 
and  books — is  sufficient  to  meet  the  de- 
mands. The  botanist  and  the  chemist  no 
longer  teach  by  lectures  and  literary 
means  alone ;  they  have  laboratories  in 
which  the  students  work  for  themselves 
and  develop  their  own  experience. 

* '  The  horticulturists  also  teach  by  lab- 
oratory work,  but  we  have  not  yet  come 
to  a  full  realization  of  the  competent 
horticultural  laboratory.  It  is  useful  to 
have  laboratory  exercises  on  grafting, 
propagation  and  on  pruning  and  spray- 
ing, and  some  of  the  operations  of  plant 
breeding;  but  these  alone  are  inciden- 
tal, and  they  really  trifle  with  a  great 
subject.  The  laboratory  work  should 
cover  the  whole  theory  and  process  of  the 
given  art.  In  the  pomological  division 
it  should  be  a  laboratory  of,  say,  fifty 
acres  of  actual  orchards,  in  which  all 
phases  of  the  work,  from  start  to  finish, 
may  be  in  natural  operation;  and  if 
these  phases  cannot  be  taught  at  the 
time  of  year  when  the  students  are  in 
the  habit  of  coming  to  college,  the  time 
of  coming  should  be  changed,  for  the  sea- 
sons and  the  operations  that  follow  the

You  will  find  that  when  a  plant  breaks 
from  an  eye  below  the  surface  the 
growth  Vjolow  the  surface  will  be  the 
same  as  that  of  the  plant  between  the 
roots  and  the  surface,  and  it  will  not 
decay  like  a  branch  that  is  cdvcred  after 
it  is   grown. 

As  for  stcin-rot.  if  the  fungus  is  in 
the  soil  and  the  atmosplnM-iir  conditions 
are  right,  it  will  attack  the  plants,  and, 
whether  tlw  sterns  are  hmy  or  short. 
will  make  nu  difl'cri'ncc.  ( )n  th<»  other 
hand,  if  the  stems  arc  short,  there  is  less 
<langer  of  too  deep  planting,  as  the 
plants    will    stainl   np    better.

TEACHING  HORTICULTURE. 

I'nd'essor  L.  II.  Uailey,  director  of  the 
Agricultural  Department  of  Cornell  I'lii- 
\ersity.  has  been  giviny  some  excellent 
tidvice  on  the  allimportant  ijiiestion  of 
training  young  men  who  intend  engaging 
in  horticultural  jiursiiits.  Speaking  at 
;i  meeting  of  hort  iculturist.s,  he  said  that 
'  *  the  time  is  [last  when  mere  expository 
work — instruction  by  means  of  lectures 
and  books  -is  suftiident  to  meet  the  de- 
mands. The  botanist  and  the  chemist  no 
|on;^er  teach  by  lectiiics  and  literary 
means  alone;  they  have  i.-iboratories  in 
which  the  students  work  tor  themselves 
and   develop   their   own   experience. 

"'The  iiiu'ticiilturists  also  teach  by  lab- 
oratory Work,  but  we  lia\e  not  yet  como

seasons  cannot  be  changed  to  suit  a  tra- 
ditional college  year.  If  the  subject  of 
pomology  is  worth  teaching  at  all  it  is 
worth  teaching  in  its  entirety  and 
throughout  the  year;  and  it  is  worth  the 
time  that  is  required  for  good  prepara- 
tion. 

"How  is  floriculture  to  be  taught  if 
not  by  means  of  floriculture?  You  can 
never  teach  it  by  means  of  lectures  alone, 
nor  even  by  lectures  and  more  or  less 
relevant  and  entertaining  piecemeal  lab- 
oratory work.  You  must  have  a  real 
floricultural  equipment,  manned  by  a  real 
florist  who  does  real  work,  and  who  has 
a  sufficient  corps  of  assistants  who  really 
know  the  several  parts  of  the  business  to 
aid  him  in  carrying  the  student  through 
a  real  training.  In  like  manner,  if  we 
are  to  teach  nursery  work,  we  must  have 
a  nursery,  and  men  who  know  the  nurs- 
ery, and  if  vegetable  culture  is  to  be 
efficiently  taught  there  must  be  a  large 
kitchen  garden,  under  the  charge  of  a 
man  who  is  skilled  in  vegetable  culture. 
Above   all,    the   teaching  of   science   and 


practice  should  not  be  separated,  but  go 
hand  in  hand." 


SWEET  PEAS  IN  POTS. 

Any  one  having  a  greenhouse  can  eas- 
ily have  a  few  early  sweet  peas  to  flower 
in  pots  with  a  minimum  of  trouble,  says 
a  writer  in  the  Gardeners'  Magazine.  A 
number  of  3-inch  pots  should  be  pre- 
pared in  the  usual  way,  and  filled  with 
soil.  Into  each  insert  two  seeds,  about 
half  an  inch  below  the  surface  of  the 
soil.  Should  both  germinate,  destroy 
the  weaker,  and  pot  the  other  one  as  soon 
as  the  roots  commence  working  through 
the  soil.  Either  one  shift  or  two  shifts 
may  be  given,  viz.,  to  5-inch  and  thence 
to  7-inch  pots,  or  straight  into  6-inch 
pots,  the  latter  being  the  flowering  size. 
A  twig  should  be  given  as  soon  as  the 
plants  show  a  tendency  to  run  up,  and 
finally  a  nice  sprayey  hazel  bough  should 
be  afforded  when  the  first  buds  show. 
On  this  the  plant  will  display  itself  in 
full  beauty  if  assisted  thereto  by  liquid 
manure. 


FISHERMAN*S  LUCK. 

"Speaking  o'  catfish,"  remarked 
Jaggs,  after  the  man  who  had  been  south 
ceased  his  description  of  an  alleged  six- 
foot  tarpon  which  got  away,  * '  a  chap 
don't  rightly  know  what  a  fish  story  is 
till  he  gets  into  them  tropic  seas.  I 
knowed  a  chap  down  at  Kingston  that 
put  in  seven  years  shark-fishin '  on  ac- 
count o'  some  sea  pirate  as  threw  a  mess 
o'  dockyments  overboard  as  was  swal- 
lowed by  a  shark — he  reckoned  he  'd  be  a 
full-blooded  duke  if  he  ever  found  'em, 
and  you  never  see  such  a  bunch  o '  stuff 
as  he  tried  out  o '  them  shark  post-mor- 
tems. I  reckon  he  'ad  about  eighty-seven 
dog  collars,  to  say  nothink  about  beer 
bottles  and  general  'ardwarc.  And  once 
he  come  across  a  pair  o '  spectacles  and 
a  purple  velvet  bunnet,  as  I  could  swear 
belonged  to  my  Aunt  Eliza,  as  kept  a 
greengrocer  shop  down  'Ammersmith 
way, ' ' 

"Was  your  Aunt  Eliza  drowned?" 
asked  the  new  rose  gro\\-er,  respectfully. 

'  *  Well,  no, ' '  said  J.aggs,  with  the  air 


of  a  man  who  must  tell  the  truth  ar  any 
cost.  *  *  But  it 's  a  sing  'ler  thing ;  that 
there  bunnet  was  blowed  overboard  one 
Saturday  afternoon,  when  Aunt  Eliza 
was  sittin '  on  the  pier  at  Ramsgate, 
'avin '  six  penn  'orth  o '  shrimps  and  a 
drop  o'  stout,  and  it  was  the  very  next 
Saturday,  as  near  as  I  could  reckon,  as 
Ed  'ard  Snagsby  hooked  that  identical 
shark  in  Kingston  harbor.  He  'ad  a 
kind  o'  sufferin'  expression,  Snagsby 
said ;  seemed  like  that  purple  bunnet 
'adn  't  set  very  well. ' ' 

There  was  a  temporary  pause,  during 
which  the  voice  of  the  greenhouse  terrier 
was  heard  in  vociferous  protest,  as  the 
tame  crow,  a  recent  introduction,  un- 
earthed a  favorite  bone  from  the  com- 
post bin,  and  threw  it  into  a  stoke-hole. 
As  the  arbitration  committee  settled 
down,  after  soothing  the  terrier's  injured 
feelings,  Jaggs  continued: 

'  *  It  ain  't  often  you  meet  a  man  with 
a  head  on  him  like  James  H.  Saggers. 
He  'd  never  set  around  ketchin '  sharks 
like  Snagsby ;  he  'd  'ave  some  scheme  for 


makin'  the  sharks  ketch  themselves.  It 
was  down  in  Central  America  where  I 
first  met  him ;  remember  that  time  I 
went  into  the  coffee  business,  and  an 
earthquake  come  along  and  yanked  the 
ranch  down  into  the  sub-cellar,-  so  to 
speak? 

'  *  Saggers  was  the  big  noise  in  some 
rubber  syndicate  that  was  holdin'  up  the 
government  for  real  estate — not  as  a 
rubber  syndicate  needs  real  estate  nor 
anythink  else,  except  postage  stamps  and 
hot  air.  When  the  earthquake  quit,  all 
Saggers  'ad  left  was  his  pajammers  and 
a  one-eyed  bull  terrier.  There  was  a 
brand-new  volcano  open  for  business  just 
where  he  'd  picked  out  a  site  for  a  brew- 
ery, and  a  full  hand  of  hot  springs  and 
geysers  camped  out  where  he  was  plan- 
nin'  a  pleasure  park  for  his  new  trolley 
line.  But  you  couldn't  discourage 
James  H,  Saggers;  he  says,  *if  we  can't 
do  nothink  else  we  can  go  in  swimmin ',  * 
and  it  was  while  we  was  dryin'  off  on 
the  beach  he  tells  me  he's  got  a  new 
scheme.  Them  there  hot  springs  and 
mud  geysers  has  West  Baden  and  Mount 
Clemens  faded  out  o'  sight;  put  up  a 
few  ^hacks  and  a  thirst  parlor,  get  an 
advertising  man  to  fix  up  a  few  sheets 
o'  dope,  and  there  you  are, 

* '  Well,  Saggers  goes  ahead  with  it, 
and  pretty  soon  every  boatload  o '  tour- 
ists as  was  turned  loose  makes  a  bee- 
line  for  the  wonderful  hot  springs.  You 
see.  Saggers  always  was  original,  and 
where  he  made  his  grand-stand  play 
was  in  providing'  electric  baths,  with 
them  tropical  eels  to  furnish  power.  Of 
course  you  chaps  has  'earu  of  them  elec- 
tric eels ;  we  kept  'em  in  tanks,  and  when 
we  wanted  a  trifle  o '  chain  lightnin ' 
all  we  had  to  do  was  to  send  a  Dago  to 
stir  up  the  eels  an'  ketch  one  about  so 
long — no  dynamos  nor  wirin '  nor  any 
other  foolishness," 

' '  I  don 't  see  what  brings  you  back  in 
the  greenhouse  business,  .Taggs, ' '  re- 
marked Tommy.  "After  a  chance  like 
that  you  must  be  a  millionaire,  doin'  a 
little  slummin '  for  amusement. ' ' 

Jaggs  shook  his  head  sadly,  as  he 
scraped  the  last  remaining  grains  from 
his  tobacco  pouch.  * '  I  often  told  Sag- 
gers,"  he  said,  "as  we  was  too  pros- 
perous. There's  always  some  cross-eyed 
hoodoo  out  with  a  flub  for  a  man  as 
tries  to  get  along  by  honest  industry, 
especially  if  he  mixes  in  politics.  That 
was  Saggers 's  weakness.  I  says  to  him, 
*  Saggers, '  I  says,  *  it  ain 't  our  funeral, 
no  matter  'ow  many  revolutions  a  min- 
ute they  runs  their  dinky  little  republic. 
If  the  president  o'  this  'ere  bloomin* 
country  gets  in  office, '  I  says,  *  by 
roundin'  up  the  retirin'  cabinet  agen  a 
wall  and  'avin'  a  file  o'  tin  soldiers 
shoot  'em  up,  why, '  I  says,  *  it 's  just  a 
matter  o'  habit,  like  playin'  cribbage  or 
\vearin '  side  whiskers.  If  you  're  tryin  * 
to  get  a  shock, '  I  says,  '  you  stick  to 
your  electric  eels,  and  leave  politics 
alone, ' 

' '  I  don 't  just  know  what  'appened 
after  I  left;  after  bein'  shot  at  three 
nights  runnin'  I  got  a  notion  the  cli- 
mate was  a  bit  sultry,  but  I  hear  as  the 
navy  was  blowed  up  one  night — she  was 
a  side-wheeler  as  they  used  to  run  down 
to  Rockaway  when  I  first  come  over — 
and  the  government  got  a  notion  that 
Saggers  was  touchin'  off  submarine 
mines  with  trained  electric  eels,  Some'ow 
it  don 't  'ardly  seem  possible,  but  you 
never  can  tell.  I  left  the  country  my- 
self in  a  cargo  o '  green  bananas,  along 
0 '  more  tarantulas  than  I  really  needed,

never  'eard  what  become  o'  Saggers.  I 
did  'ear  once  o '  a  chap  that  was  trainin ' 
toadfish  to  dredge  oysters  along  the  Jer- 
sey coast,  and  that  sounded  uncommon 
like  James  H.  Saggers,  but  maybe  it 
wasn't  true.  There's  too  many  chaps 
nowadays  tryin'  to  mislead  the  public 
with  them  sort  o'  yarns." 

"It  seems  too  bad,  don't  it,"  ob- 
served Tom. my  to  the  new  rose  grower, 
■who  was  gazing  rapturously  at  Jaggs. 
*  *  The  trouble  is  as  them  that  has  ex- 
perience, like  Jaggs,  is  too  modest  in 
expressin'  theirselves.  What  I  want  to 
know  is,  how  did  James  H.  Saggers  gain 
the  confidence  of  them  innocent  electric 
eels?" 


LATHYRUS  PUBESCENS. 

The  beauty  of  this  perennial  pea  from 
Chili  should  go  a  long  way  toward  ren- 
dering it  popular  for  the  cool  green- 
house and  for  cutting.  Climbing  plants 
of  its  particular  color  shade  are  rare,  the 
only  likely  competitor  being  Plumbago 
capensis,  a  plant  nearly  every  one  grows. 
The  lathyrus  is  not  hardy  save  in  the 
warmer  parts  of  Britain,  says  the  Gar- 
deners' Magazine,  but  needs  nothing 
more  than  the  coolest  treatment.  Culti- 
vated under  glass,  it  gives  one  a  wealth 
of  blossom  in  June,  and  sends  up  relays 
of  flowering  growths  from  the  base 
throughout  summer  if  occasionally  fore- 
shortened. It  is  full  of  ailments  as  a 
seedling,  and  numbers  die  from  excess  of 
damp,  but  once  it  enters  the  second  grow- 
ing season  it  becomes  strong  and  starts 
to  flower.  Its  foliage  is  grayish,  as  in 
the  culinary  pea,  the  gray  being  due  to 
a  soft,  downy  covering  that  persists  till 
the  leaves  grow  old.  The  flower  sprays 
have  long  stems  that  will  delight  the  dec- 
orator, each  spray  containing  seven  to 
nine  flowers  that  are  nearly  the  equal  of 
well-grown  sweet  peas  in  size,  and  quite 
the  equal  in  floral  value.  The  annual 
growth  exceeds  seven  to  eight  feet.  One 
cannot  treat  an  old  specimen  too  well, 
provided  it  is  in  a  well-drained  spot. 


PROPAGATING  DRACAENAS. 

As  a  plant  for  the  novice  in  propaga- 
tion to  try  his  hand  upon,  the  dracaena 
must  be  placed  in  the  very  first  flight. 
He  must  be  indeed  a  novice,  and  a  care- 
less one  at  that,  if  given  an  old,  leggy 
dracaena,  he  cannot  work  up  a  decent 
batch  of  plants.  Let  us  have  a  look  at 
our  dracffna.  It  is  an  old  terminalis, 
in  a  5-inch  pot,  but  so  robbed  of  leaves 
by  an  overdose  of  housework  that  what 
few  remain  are  at  the  top  of  a  respecta- 
ble length  of  bare  stem.  But  its  grow- 
ing point  is  uninjured. 

We  shall  first  ring  or  tongue  our 
plant!  Ringing  consists  of  carefully  cut- 
ting away  a  ring  of  bark  about  an  inch 
below  the  bottom  good  leaf.  Tonguing 
is  performed  by  making  a  cut  half  way 
through  the  stem  an  inch  or  so  below 
the  bottom  leaf,  in  the  same  way  that 
one  makes  a  tongue  in  a  carnation  layer. 
Both  plans  are  good,  but  of  the  two  I 
prefer  the  tongue,  as  one  quickly  ob- 
tains a  mass  of  roots.  In  either  case 
the  cut  part  of  the  stem  must  be  ex- 
cluded from  the  light,  and  kept  moist, 
for  we  want  roots  to  issue  from  it.  At 
one  time  we  accomplished  this  by  split- 
ting a  small  flower  pot  lengthwise,  fas- 
tening the  two  halves  round  the  cut 
stem,  and  filling  the  pot  with  soil.  Now 
we  find  that  a  handful  of  wet  moss 
placed  round  the  cut,  and  secured  by 
a  few  twists  of  raffia,  answers  the  pur- 
pose equally  well.  The  moss  is  kept  con- 
stantly wet  with  the  syringe,  and  when 
white  roots  are  seen  to  be  pushing  their 
points  through  it,  the  stem  is  severed 
beneath  it,  and  the  moss  and  roots  are 
buried  to  the  lowest  leaf  in  a  well- 
drained  pot  of  soil.  If  at  all  carefully 
carried  out,  ringing  or  tonguing  never 
fails  to  give  a  good  plant  in  a  short 
time. 

When,  however,  the  house  can  be  kept 
at  55  degrees  at  night,  and  also  con- 
tains a  propagating  case,  ringing  and 
tonguing  may  be  dispensed  with,  and 
the  top  boldly  severed,  and  rooted  as  a 


cutting.  The  advantage  of  this  system 
is  that  the  old  stem  of  the  plant  is  im- 
mediately available  for  propagating  pur- 
poses, whereas  one  must  wait  until  roots 
are  formed  under  the  ringing  process. 

Having  disposed  of  the  top,  let  us 
turn  our  attention  to  the  old  stem,  and 
to  facilitate  matters  we  will  knock  the 
latter  out  of  the  pot,  and  shake  away 
all  the  soil.  With  a  sharp  knife  we  will 
now  cut  up  the  stem  into  portions  one 
inch  long,  and  if  we  want  as  many  plants 
as  possible  we  will  split  each  section 
down  the  middle.  Every  section,  split  or 
unsplit,  is  capable  of  forming  a  new 
plant. 

We  take  a  cutting  pan,  fill  it  to  within 
an  inch  of  its  rim  with  a  compost  of 
equal  parts  of  loam,  leaf-mold  and  coarse 
sand,  and  then  sprinkle  a  layer  of  sand 
over  all.  On  this  layer  we  arrange  our 
sections  of  stem,  flat  and  cut  side  down, 
about  an  inch  apart,  cover  with  a  half 
inch  of  compost,  and  water  well.  Space 
in  the  propagating  case  is  too  precious 
to  take  this  pan,  so  we  stand  it  on  the 
hot-water  pipes,  if  possible. 

In  a  very  short  time,  provided  plenty 
of  heat  and  water  are  given,  tiny  green 
spears  will  be  seen  pushing  through  the 
soil,  and  when  these  are  from  one  inch 
to  two  inches  long,  they  will  generally 
be  accompanied  by  roots  issuing  from 
the  other  side  of  the  cut  section.  When 
this  stage  is  reached  potting  singly  in 
2i{!-inch  pots  should  follow,  with  care- 
ful watering,  plenty  of  warmth,  and 
syringing. 

When  old  plants  are  dealt  with,  says 
a  writer  in  a  British  contemporary,  it 
will  generally  be  found  that  they  pos- 
sess one  or  more  thick,  fleshy  white  roots. 
These  may  be  cut  up,  split,  and  treated 
exactly  as  the  stem  sections,  and  will 
make  plants  equally  as  easily  and  quick- 
ly. Either  kind,  root  or  stem  section, 
should  push  growths  through  the  soil  in 
less  than  a  month  after  insertion,  if 
heat  and  moisture  iu  plenty  are  forth- 
coming.

MULCHING. 

To  protect  the  feeding  roots  that  are 
now  ne&r  the  surface  from  strong  sun- 
shine, and  to  keep  the  benches  from 
drying  out  too  quickly,  they  should  now 
get  a  liberal  mulching  of  rich  compost. 
The  soil,  if  the  plants  have  been  doing 
good  work,  will  by  this  time  be  much 
exhausted,  and,  as  the  spring  growth  is 
now  on,  they  will  require  some  fresh 
material  to  work  on.  By  mulching  now 
rfthe  Diooms  can  be  kept  up  to  size  for 
quite  a  long  time,  even  in  hot  weather. 

The  compost  should  consist  of  two 
parts  decomposed  cow  manure  and  one 
part  good  rose  soil.  To  this  should  be 
added  fifteen  or  twenty  pounds  of  desic- 
cated bone  meal  to  each  cubic  yard  of 
compost,  the  whole  to  be  thoroughly  in- 
corporated and  put  on  the  bench  one 
inch  thick. 

Passing  the  compost  through  a  screen 
of  an  inch  mesh  makes  it  more  easily 
spread,  covering  the  ground  more  uni- 
formly and  making  it  more  assimilable 
than  if  put  on  in  a  rougher  state.  This 
mulching,  with  the  aid  of  liquid  feed- 
ing, should  keep  the  soil  in  good  condi- 
tion till  planting  time.  Tor  Beauty 
benches,  which  should  now  be  making 
a  heavy  growth,  this  is  indispensable,  as 
without  it  many  of  the  buds  will  fail  to 
reach  a  salable  size. 

Those  buds  on  extra  strong  canes  of 
Beauties,  which,  by  reason  of  the  soft- 
ness of  the  wood,  fail  to  develop  prop- 
erly, should  be  picked  off  instead  of  cut- 
ting the  stem.  At  the  base  of  these 
buds  will  be  found  one  or  more  buds, 
which  in  five  or  six  weeks  W'ill  make 
excellent  flowers. 

Young  Beauty  stock  should  be  fumi- 
gated once  a  weeK  and  syringed  with 
force  twice  every  bright  day.  Keep  all 
buds  picked  off  and  give  the  plants 
plenty  of   rbom  on   the  benches.

PRUNING  HARDY  ROSES. 

Winter  is  at  an  end  for  another  year 
and  the  time  is  not  far  distant  when  we 
may  reasonably  expect  spring  weather 
and  among  a  multitude  of  other  duties 
which  fall  to  the  lot  of  the  florist  is 
the  pruning  of  hardy  roses,  not  only  for 
liimself,  but  in  many  cases  for  numbers 
of  his  customers.  This  is  work  which 
no  novice  can  attend  to  properly.  None 
but  an  experienced  hand  should  do  it,  or 
from  the  pruning  more  harm  than  good 
may  be  the  result. 

Hybrid  perpetuals  are  usually  pro- 
tected   by    being    earthed    around    with 


soil,  or  by  manure  and  leaves.  The  first 
method  furnishes  much  the  better  pro- 
tection. After  clearing  away  the  soil, 
which  can  be  done  any  time  after  the 
frost  leaves  the  ground,  preferably  from 
the  beginning  to  the  middle  of  April, 
except  for  the  warmer  states,  all  weak 
shoots  should  be  taken  out  entirely  and 
the  more  robust  ones  cut  down  to  with- 
in six  or  eight  inches  of  the  start  of 
the  preceding  year's  growth.  T"his  hard 
pruning  will  make  the  plants  break 
strongly.  Lighter  pruning  may  be 
adopted  if  an  earlier  crop  of  small 
flowers  is  desired  for  mass  effect,  but 
the  quality  cannot  approximate  that  of 
the   well   cut   back  plants.      Hard   prun-

ing  makes  it  much  easier  to  protect  the 
lower,  current  season's  buds  when  win- 
ter covering  is  needed. 

Hybrid  teas  and  teas  are  becoming  in- 
creasingly popular,  and  there  is  little 
wonder,  for  they  are  persistent  bloomers, 
especially  the  first  named.  As  a  rule 
they  need  much  heavier  protection  than 
the  hybrid  perpetuals.  Some  growers 
lift  them  and  bury  overhead  in  a  trench. 
Others  place  in  coldframes,  while  in 
more  favored  locations  earthing  up  with 
soil  and  a  covering  of  spruce  boughs  an- 
swers very  well.  The  vigorous  canes 
of  these  roses  may  be  shortened  back  to 
one-third  of  their  length.  More  moder- 
ate ones  only  need  the  thin  ends  cut  off. 
Weak  ones  are  better  removed  entirely. 
Some  judicious  pruning  may  also  be 
done  in  summer.  After  a  crop  of  flow- 
ers has  faded,  trim  the  shoots  back  a 
little.  If  flowers  are  cut  as  they  open 
thig  will  not  need  doing. 


Old  stock  of  any  of  the  tea  roses 
grown  under  glass  make  satisfactory 
beds  if  pruned  back  well  and  watered 
occasionally.  We  have  seen  Bridesmaid, 
Kaiserin,  Carnot  and  other  roses  make  a 
really  excellent  show  treated  in  this 
way,  and  it  is  worth  while  trying  a  bed 
of   them. 

Ramblers,  such  as  Crimson,  Philadel- 
phia, Swieetheart,  Farquhar,  Dorothy 
Perkins,  Lady  Gay,  Carmine  Pillar,  De- 
butante, Mrs.  Egan  and  others  of  like 
nature,  should  merely  have  weak  and 
dead  wood  removed  and  laterals  short- 
ened back  to  three  or  four  buds  each; 
also  any  of  the  preceding  year's  flower- 
ing wood  which  may  not  have  been  taken 
out  after  the  blooms  faded  last  sum- 
mer. The  same  applies  to  all  the  hybrid 
sw-eetbriars  usually  known  as  Lord 
Penzance's  briars.  These  are  well 
worth  a  place  in  any  garden.  '  The 
flowers  have  a  large  range  of  color. 

Bedding  roses,  like  Clothilde  Soupert, 
Hermosa,  Maman  Cochet  and  its  white 
form,  Gruss  an  Teplitz  and  Baby  Ram- 
bler should  be  cut  back  about  half  way. 
Have  all  the  dead  wood  removed  and 
weak  laterals  shortened  back  well.  They 
are  satisfactory  varieties  to  grow  and 
give  a  maximum  of  bloom  for  a  mini- 
mum of  care.  Beds  kept  mulched  with 
old  manure  and  occasionally  hoed  over 
with  old  flowers  cut  off  as  they  fade  will 
bloom  all  summer  long.  C.  W. 


ROSE  QUEEN  OF  SPAIN. 

In  a  January  issue  the  Review  printed 
the  following  paragraph  from  the  Lon- 
don Garden:  "Undoubtedly  the  rose  of 
tI-.<?  year  is  the  beautiful  variety.  Queen 
of  Spain.  S.  Bide  &  Sons,  of  Farnham, 
are  to  be  congratulated  upon  this,  their 
first  introduction  among  roses,  and  as 
they  have  begun  so  well  it  is  to  be  hoped 
they  will  continue  to  add  to  the  collec- 
tion roses  of  equal  merit.  Many  who 
saw  the  variety  when  first  staged  at  the 
national  rose  show  thought  it  deserved  a 
gold  medal,  and  so  it  did.  Mr.  Bide, 
junior,  informed  the  writer  that  Queen 
of  Spain  was  raised  from  Antoine  Ri- 
voire  crossed  with  another  variety,  but 
what  that  was  he  could  not  say.  The 
color  is  pale  flesh  tyith  a  darker  center, 
the  tint  being  much  intensified  upon 
plants  one  year  old.  It  possesses  the 
valuable  quality  of  erect  stems,  so  that 
.the  handsome  flowers  are  borne  well  above 
the  foliage,  a  trait  it  inherits  from  its 
maternal  parent.  It  has  especially  good, 
lasting  flowers,  a  fact  fully  demonstrated 
by  the  freshness  of  the  blooms  at  t^e 
end  of  the  two  days'  show  at  Holland 
House.  No  one  can  deny  that  fully 
three-fourths  of  the  novelties  introduced 
at  the  present  day  are  of  a  very  flimsy 
character,  although  charming  in  color, 
and,  as  garden  roses,  they  are  excellent, 
but  there  is  room  for  many  more  of  the 
type  of  Queen  of  Spain. ' ' 

The  flower  is  very  full  and  of  excel- 
lent form.  It  has  fragrance  of  Souvenir 
de  la  Malmaison  and  will  be  tried  by  a 
considerable  number  of  American  grow- 
ers next  season.  In  sending  the  photo- 
graph reproduced  in  this  issue  Bide  & 
Sons  say  that  the  king  of  Spain  has  just 
manifested  his  appreciation  of  the  cour- 
tesy intended  by  naming  the  rose  for 
his  queen  by  passing  them  a  liberal  order 
for  plants. 

Red  Hook,  N.  Y. — A  car  of  glass  has 
arrived  here  on  a  community  order  for 
several  violet  growers  who  will  add  to 
their  glass  this  season.

^.  OUTDOOR  ROSE  CULTURE. 

rA  synopsis  of  a  paper  by  Theodore  Wlrth,  of 
MlnneaDOlis,  Minn.,  read  before  the  annual  con- 
venUon  of  the  American  Kose  Society  at  Wash- 
ington? D.  C,  March  13  to  16,  1907.] 

Of  all  plants  deserving  special  care 
and  attentive  culture,  the  rose,  in  my 
mind,  is  first.  I  regret  that  some  of  our 
growers  and  distributers  to  amateurs 
should  state  in  their  catalogues  and 
guides  on  rose  culture  that  the  necessity 
of  thorough  preparation  of  soil,  proper 
cultivation,  etc.,  is  a  story  of  ancient  be- 
lief, and  that  roses  will  grow  in  any 
soil,  location  and  condition. 

They  will  grow,  yes,  but  will  they  flour- 
ish? Do  not  let  us  deceive  and  disap- 
point the  lovers  of  roses  for  the  sake  of 
making  easy  money,  for  it  is  unjust  and 
does  not  pay  in  the  end,  for  one  dis- 
appointed customer  will  discourage  many 
prospective  buyers,  while  every  success- 
ful amateur  rose  grower  will  induce  and 
instruct  all  his  friends  and  neighbors. 

Let  us  tell  the  people  that  the  rose 
is  a  great  feeder  and  delights  in  a  heavy, 
loamy  soil,  enriched  by  cow  manure,  and 
let  us  ask  them  to  prepare  their  beds 
before  planting,  to  a  proper  depth,  pro- 
vide the  necessary  drainage,  that  thor- 
ough cultivation  is  better  than  continu- 
ous watering  and  sprinkling;  in  short, 
give  them  the  information  that  will  make 
them  expert  rose  growers,  and  we  will 
make  them  happy  and  our  friends  for- 
ever. The  real  lover  of  roses  will  not 
shrink  from  the  expense  and  labor  in- 
volved in  such  culture  and  his  success 
will  convert  others. 

The  very  growers  who  advocate  the 
planting  of  roses  in  any  old  way  seem 
to  have  to  go  away  from  home  to  find 
subjects  fit  for  illustrations  in  their  cat- 
alogues, intended  to  show  good  rose  cul- 
ture. 

Culture* 

The  part  of  the  plant  above  ground  de- 
mands equal  attention.  Beginning  in 
spring  we  must  induce  and  balance  the 
growth  of  the  flowering  wood,  by  proper 
pruning,  and  to  do  this  properly  we  must 
consider  the  habit,  character  and  strength 
of  the  plants.  Vigorous  hybrid  remon- 
tants  we  should  relieve  of  all  weak  and 
superfluous  wood,  being  satisfied  with 
from  six  to  eight  main  shoots  to  a  plant, 
and  those  we  must  cut  back  to  from  five 
to  seven  eyes.  Weaker  plants  we  must 
prune  more  severely,  cutting  back  to 
three  or  four  eyes.  The  hybrid  teas, 
which  do  better  in  not  too  heavy  a  soil, 
we  must  relieve  of  all  weak  and  dead 
wood,  and  cut  the  remainder  back  one- 
quarter  or  one-third  of  their  length.  Teas 
and  polyanthas,  of  course,  we  won't  cut 
back  at  all,  except  to  remove  old  and 
dead  wood,  with  the  object  in  view  to 
keep  the  plant  vigorous  by  inducing  and 
favoring  a  certain  percentage  of  young 
growth. 

During  the  flowering  season  we  must 
constantly  be  on  the  watch.  Passing 
flowers  should  be  picked  off  every  day, 
and  that  before  they  drop  all  their  pet- 
als. We  can  procure  a  second,  and  with 
some  varieties  of  the  remontants  an  al- 
most continuous  crop  of  flowers,  by  prun- 
ing past-flowering  shoots  radically  back 
to  six  or  eight  eyes  during  the  «eummer 
season. 

We  must  supply  the  necessary  atmos- 
pheric moisture  to  our  plants  by  a  thor- 
ough syringing  from  below,  applied  after 
sundown,  a  treatment  to  which  the  rose 
readily  responds  during  dry  weather. 
Such  sprinkling,  furthermore,  at  least 
partly  overcomes  the  minor  insect  pests, 
such   as   the  aphis,   red  spider  and  rose 


New  Rose  Queen  of  Spain. 


hopper.  We  must  closely  watch  for  the 
arch  enemy  of  the  rose,  the  chafer,  and 
pick  him  off  for  his  kerosene  bath,  while 
we  have  to  crush  the  leaf-roller  with  un- 
relenting energy  and  thoroughness. 
Slug-shot,  hellebore,  Bordeaux  mixture, 
whale-oil  soap  and  similar  remedies  must 
be  on  hand  for  ready  use  for  other  pests, 
mildew  and  other  diseases,  and  must  be 
applied  in  good  season  and  effective 
manner.  * 

For  the  over-wintering  of  our  roses 
we  must  take  due  precaution,  by  provid- 
ing the  necessary  cover.  The  most  ef- 
fective, in  fact  the  only  satisfactory 
method,  is  to  tie  the  shoots  together  and 
heap  up  the  soil  around  the  root-stalk 
as  high  as  possible,  and  if  the  plants  are 
properly  distanced,  namely  two  feet  to 
two  and  one-half  feet  for  the  hybrid 
remontants  and  sixteen  to  twenty  inches 
for  tlie  hybrid  teas,  such  heaping  is  en- 
tirely feasible.  Then  after  frost  has 
pet  in,  put  a  good  covering  of  manure 
around  these  hills  and  ordinary  bedding 
or  litter  between  them.  In  spring  re- 
move the  bedding,  pull  the  manure  down 
between  the  hills,  rake  your  soil  over  it 
and  do  your  pruning  as  soon  as  the  eyes 
begin  to  break. 

Standard  roses  I  think  are  most  suc- 
cessfully grown  by  lifting  them  every 
fall  and  burying  them  in  eighteen  inches 
or  more  of  soil.  Better  yet,  plant  them 
in  small  tubs  and  bury  tub  and  all. 
("limbers  can  be  bent  down  and  buried  in 
the  ground.  By  this  method  the  bark  is, 
however,  easily  cracked  if  not  carefully 
handled,  and  the  result  is  the  loss  of 
many  of  the  main  shoots.  Thorough 
binding   up   in   long   straw    with   outside 


paper  cover,  therefore,  seems  the  most 
advisable  cover  for  climbers  in  need  of 
such  protection. 

Where  the  winter  is  not  too  severe,  I 
consider  fall  planting  preferable  to 
spring  planting,  provided  the  planting 
is  done  in  good  season,  say  not  later 
than  November  15. 

These,  in  short,  are  the  general  cul- 
tural directions  under  which  I  have  seen 
the  happiest,  results  in  the  rigorous  cli- 
mate of  the  east — Connecticut,  for  in- 
stance. 

To  us  all  these  matters  of  culture  are 
a  matter  of  course,  but  for  the  amateur 
they  are  perplexing  to  begin  with,  but 
should  not  be  discouraging.  No  one  to- 
day hesitates  to  acquire  an  automobile, 
not  knowing  the  least  thing  about  its 
mechanism,  or  underlying  principles  of 
locomotion.  To  begin  with,  he  or  she 
will  be  puzzled;  but,  as  gradually 
through  experience  and  study  the  mech- 
anism and  working  principles  of  the  ma- 
chine  explain  themselves,  the  amateur 
ihauffour  becomes  the  self-confident  mas- 
ter of  this  complicated  creation  of  the 
professional  machinist,  and  he  not  only 
runs  the  machine,  but  attends  to  ordi- 
nary repairs  and  before  long  has  some 
suggestions  to  make  for  improvements. 
Why  should  the  same  amount  of  intelli- 
gence not  be  able  to  solve  the  so  much 
easier  problems  of  competent  and  sensi- 
ble "rose  culture? 

Budded  or  Own  Root  Roses. 

For  instance,  there  is  quite  a  difference 
of  opinion  as  to  the  relative  value  of 
budded  or  grafted  plants  and  plants  on 
their  own   roots.     I    think   we   most   all 


■'Tr^^rorapnrnfw 


H56 


The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


March  28,  1907. 


agree  that  budded  plants  are  giving  much 
better  results  as  to  vigor  of  growth  and 
quality  of  bloom,  but  we  realize  that  the 
average  amateur  grower  may  be  better 
served  with  plants  on  their  own  roots, 
because  there  will  be  no  danger  of  his 
losing  his  flowering  plant  through  the 
unrecognized  or  unnoticed  growth  of  wild 
suckers. 

Now  I  think  we  ought  to  at  least  give 
our  friends,  the  customers,  credit  for  or- 
dinary intelligence,  by  telling  them  that 
if  they  will  compare  the  foliage  of  a  wild 
rose  with  that  of  a  hybrid,  they  will 
soon  learn  to  distinguish  between  a 
sucker  and  the  real  thing;  and  they  will 
understand  that  by  diligently  removing 
the  former  they  will  have  the  best  re- 
sults with  the  latter.  Ardent  lovers  of 
flowers  will  be  glad  to  learn  that.  For 
those  who  are  too  busy  or  don't  care,  the 
own  root  plants,  I  admit,  may  be  bet- 
ter, but  I  believe  it  is  only  fair  to  state 
to  the  amateur  the  difi'erence  between 
the  two  and  let  him  have  his  choice. 

If  the  roses  are  budded  low,  the  stock 
eyes  removed  before  planting  and  the 
roses  planted  good  and  deep,  compara- 
tively little  sucker  trouble  will  be  en- 
countered,   and    I    for    one    shall    want 


is  not  of  sufficiently  vigorous  stock  to 
overcome  this  change  of  soil  texture  and 
quality.  Yet  the  buyer  has  planted  them 
as  directed — in  any  ordinary  soil.  The 
two-year-old  plant  will  fare  better  and 
give  much  more  return  and  value  in 
every  case. 

Before  I  leave  the  subject  of  one-year- 
old  plants  I  want  to  ask  the  question 
whether  it  is  not  a  fact  that  those  plants 
on  their  own  roots  are  mostly  winter 
cuttings  from  more  or  less  continually 
forced  stock,  and  some  of  them  second 
cuttings  from  rooted  cuttings  in  the 
bench?  If  so,  can  it  be  reasonably  ex- 
pected that  plants  so  produced  will  at- 
tain the  vigor,  productive  quality  and 
sustaining  strength  and  hardiness  so  es- 
sential to  outdoor  culture?  If  not,  is  it 
not  more  or  less  a  fraud  on  the  public, 
justifj'ing  the  saying  "Cheap  cloth,  tools 
or  help  are  too  dear  at  any  price"?  I 
claim  that  all  own-root  roses  intended  for 
outdoor  culture  should  come  from  solt 
or  hard-wood  cuttings  from  outdoor 
plants.  I  say,  propagate  from  good 
stock  and  otfer  good  stock  if  you  want 
to  grow  good  roses  and  satisfy  and  re- 
tain your  customers. 

As  already  stated,  I  am  not  an  expert 


many  Avays  of  accomplishing  the  same 
purpose,  provided  the  purpose  is  clear- 
ly defined  and  understood.  To  benefit 
the  lover  and  amateur  grower  of  roses, 
we  must  reach  him  outdoors.  We  must 
stimulate  and  advocate  outdoor  culture, 
and  educate  those  we  reach  with  our 
pleas.  To  benefit  the  amateurs  means  to 
benefit  the  growers. 

To  encourage  outdoor  rose  culture,  I 
would  suggest  that  we  work  along  the 
following  lines: 

Suggest  and  advocate  through  our 
trade  papers  and  through  all  other  pos- 
sible means  the  introduction  of  public 
rose  gardens  in  public  parks;  not  only 
in  the  large  cities,  but  everywhere.  Such 
gardens  could  be  inaugurated  and  helped 
along  through  donations  of  plants  by 
local  growers  and  dealers,  and  where  the 
experienced  gardener  is  missing,  help 
along  this  line  might  be  furnished 
throughout  the  same  sources. 

Let  the  florists'  clubs  and  other  kin- 
dred societies  of  the  country  arrange  for 
free  lectures,  giving  the  public  plain, 
true  and  comprehensive  instruction  and 
information  on  the  subject,  and  have,  if 
possible,  a  rose  show  connected  with  the 
lecture.

budded  plants  wherever  1  have  something 
to  say  in  this  matter  of  choice. 

One-year  Roses. 

The  planting  of  one-year  roses,  which, 
if  not  especially  advocated,  is  at  least 
widely  advertised,  is  all  right  as  far  as 
it  goes,  but  it  must,  to  a  certain  extent, 
be  misleading  and  disappointing  to  many 
amateur  rose  growers.  The  offer  of  one 
dozen  rose  plants  for  $1,  guaranteed  to 
bloom  the  first  year,  from  June  to  Octo- 
ber, is  certainly  very  attractive  and 
tempting;  but  if  this  $1  is  the  extent  of 
the  available  funds  for  such  investment, 
I  would  advise  my  customer  to  take  four 
or  six  two-year-old  budded  plants,  plant 
them  wider  apart,  be  satisfied  with  a 
few  flowers  the  first  year  and  get  the 
benefit  and  more  blooms  forever  after- 
ward. 

The  one-year-old  plants,  which  have 
been  planted  close,  will,  if  they  grow, 
crowd  each  other  in  no  time  and  conse- 
quently should  be  transplanted  the  sec- 
ond or  third  year  at  the  latest,  which  in 
most  cases  is  not  done.  If  they  don't 
grow  it  is  because  the  soil  to  which  they 
have  been  transferred  out  of  the  pots 
is  not  congenial,  and  the  plant  in  itself 


rose  grower  and  don't  pretend  to  be,  but 
I  believe  that  here  as  elsewhere  the  un- 
derlying principle  in  securing  good  re- 
sults is  good  structural  foundation. 

It  is  so  evident  that  propagation  from 
continuously  forced  plant  stock  and 
through  too  soft  wood  means  degenera- 
tion and  deterioration  of  quality  and 
strength,  that  I  need  not  dwell  on  this 
subject  any  longer.  The  best  proof  of 
this  statement  is  the  rapid  degeneration 
of  so  many  varieties  used  for  forcing  for 
a  period  of  ten  or  even  less  years,  com- 
pared with  the  same  varieties  grown  out- 
doors and  propagated  from  outdoor 
plants. 

There  is  one  thing  the  buyer  of  bud- 
ded plants  is  pretty  sure  of,  and  that  is 
he  need  not  fear  to  get  in  his  purchased 
plants  the  weak,  degenerated  blood  which 
he  is  apt  to  get  by  buying  own-root 
plants,  and  so-called  slips. 

Suggestions  for  Encouragement. 

To  discuss  such  matters  is  the  princi- 
pal purpose  of  our  gatherings.  The 
question  has  been  put  by  our  execu- 
tive committee,  "what  can  the  A.  K.  S. 
do  to  help  the  lovers  of  roses  and  the 
members    of   the   society?"     There    are 


Let  each  rose  grower  or  nurseryman 
establish  a  small  rose  garden  in  which 
he  practices  good  culture;  let  him  ar- 
range for  a  rose  show  of  his  own  and  in- 
vite his  customers  near  and  far  to  his 
grounds  when  the  plants  are  at  their 
best. 


A  PITTSBURG  PLANT. 

The  accompanying  illustrations  show 
the  two  ranges  of  the  Pittsburg  Eose 
&  Carnation  Co.,  Bakerstown,  Pa.  The 
ranges  stand  on  opposite  sides  of  a  ra- 
vine, with  the  boiler  plant  below  in  the 
ravine. 

The  Pittsburg  Rose  &  Carnation  Co. 
was  organized  in  1901  with  a  capital 
stock  of  $100,000,  by  Fred  Burki,  who 
associated  with  him  F.  Kocher,  L.  Eltch- 
er,  and  several  others.  They  purchased 
the  Crystal  farm  at  Bakerstown,  about 
nineteen  miles  from  Pittsburg  on  the 
B.  &  O.  railroad.  The  farm  comprised 
210  acres,  on  which  were  three  dwellings 
and  two  large  barns. 

The  first  year  they  erected  and  planted 
in  roses  two  Lord  &  Burnham  houses, 
each  28x400  feet.  They  also  built  three 
dwellings,     boiler-houses    and     ice-house,

and  erected  a  1,400-barrel  tank  on  a 
steel  tower  eighty  feet  above  the  high- 
est point  on  the  farm,  with  the  neces- 
sary pumping  machinery  to  fill  this  tank 
in  nine  hours. 

The  plant  has  been  a  success  from 
the  start,  under  the  management  of  Mr. 
Burki,  who,  with  his  family,  lives  on 
the  place  in  a  fine,  modern  home.  Since 
that  time  they  have  put  up  iron-frame 
houses,  most  of  them  50x450  feet,  until 
they  now  have  200,000  square  feet  under 
glass.  Five  boilers  have  650  combined 
horse-power.  The  packing  houses  are 
30x80  feet,  the  ice-house  with  cooling 
room  30x40  feet.  There  are  eighteen 
dwellings,  a  hotel  to  accommodate  the 
unmarried  men,  office,  two  large  barns 
with  building  for  grain,  hay  and  ma- 
chinery, a  bowling  alley,  soil-shed,  and 
all  other  necessary  buildings  on  a  farm. 

There  are  also  four  producing  oil 
wells  and  two  gas  wells.  The  farm  is 
about  one-third  in  good  oak  timber,  the 
balance  mostly  in  grass,  with  two  good 
orchards.  Last  year  they  purchased  an 
additional  thirty  acres  to  shape  up  one 
corner  of  the  farm,  and  now,  at  the 
close  of  the  sixth  year,  they  show  an  in- 
vestment of  $200,000. 


Some  advance  is  likely,  however,  later  in 
the  week,  when  best  quality  will  proba- 
))ly  make  $1. 

Bulbous  stock  is  in  good  supply  and 
little  change  in  price.  Easter  lilies  are 
bringing  10  cents  to  12l^  cents  per  bud, 
callas  about  the  same  prices.  Sweet  peas 
are  abundant  and  of  grand  quality. 
They  sell  well.  Valley  is  in  good  supply 
and  there  is  a  fine  quantity  of  antir- 
rhinum, mignonette,  anemones,  ranuncu- 
lus, primroses  and  other  seasonable  flow- 
ers. There  is  no  special  change  in  green 
stock,  of  which  a  good  supply  is  forth- 
coming. 

Qub  Field  Day. 

About  sixty  members  of  the  Garden- 
ers' and  Florists'  Club  joined  in  the 
field  day  at  the  establishment  of  W.  W. 
Edgar  Co.,  Waverley,  March  23.  The 
visitors  were  first  piloted  through  the 
.houses  by  Mr.  Edgar  and  David  Lums- 
den.  A  large  house  of  lilies  was  in  fine 
shape  for  Easter;  little  trace  of  disease 
seen.  About  4,000  azaleas  were  in  the 
pink  of  condition.  Many  fine  specimens 
of  Novelty,  a  fine  rosy-red  variety,  were 
noted.  Niobe,  Postmeister  Stephan,  Van- 
der    Cruyssen,    Helene     Thelemann,     Me- 


villeas,  pink  and  white  hydrangeas  and 
other  plants.  Mr.  Roland  will  try  his 
hand  at  growing  the  waxy  race  of  ericas 
another  year. 

J.  T.  Butterworth,  in  addition  to  his 
usual  big  lot  of  lily  of  the  valley,  bulbous 
stock,  etc.,  had  a  fine  batch  of  Dendro- 
bium  Wardianum  for  Easter. 

Welch  Bros,  had  sold  more  Easter 
plants  up  to  March  22  than  during  their 
whole  Easter  trade  a  year  ago  and  at 
better  prices.  They  anticipate  record- 
breaking  business  this  week. 

H.  M.  Robinson  &  Co.  are  having  a 
heavy  trade  in  flowers  and  greenery 
this  week  and  are  being  kept  rushed 
every  hour  of  the  day. 

Albert  Roper's  new  variegated  carna- 
tion. Bay  State,  was  much  admired  at 
the  last  club  meeting  and  spring  show. 
Mr.  Roper  has  2,000  plants  of  it  grow- 
ing. He  has  a  seedling  of  better  size 
and  color  than  Fair  Maid  and  said  to 
be  three  times  as  prolific,  which  should 
also  be   heard  from. 

F.  R.  Pierson,  at  the  recent  club 
meeting,  spoke  highly  of  Carnation  Mel- 
ody, the  light  pink  sport  of  Lawson,  and 
said  it  made  much  higher  prices  than 
Enchantress,    holding    its    color    better. 


One  of  the  Ranges  of  the  Pittsburg  Rose  and  Gunation  Co.,  Bakerstown,  Pa. 


-aey  grow  roses,  carnations,  Aspara- 
gus plumosus,  Sprengeri,  chrysanthe- 
mums, and  a  few  other  smaller  things, 
the  whole  cut  making  a  good  wagon- 
load  every  morning,  shipped  to  the 
Pittsburg  Cut  Flower  Co.,  of  which  Mr. 
Burki  is  president. 

BOSTON. 


The  Market. 

The  usual  shortening  up  of  supplies  is 
now  quite  apparent  and  large  quantities 
of  flowers  are  being  held  back.  Prices 
are  satisfactory,  perhaps  better  than  they 
will  be  on  some  lines  at  the  end  of  the 
week.  We  have  had  one  or  two  warm 
days,  which  were  welcomed  by  those 
whose  pot  plants  were  a  little  bacikward. 
The  thermometer  reached  72  in  the  shade 
March  23.  Cooler  conditions,  however, 
have  prevailed  since  that  time.  Roses 
are  quite  plentiful.  Plenty  of  Beauties 
■will  be  forthcoming  for  Easter  and  it 
looks  like  a  generous  supply  of  all  other 
sorts.  Prices  have  crept  up  somewhat  on 
all  lines.  Carnations  are  bringing  much 
better  prices ;  nothing  below  $4  and  best 
grades  up  to  $8  and  $10.  Violets  are 
abundant  and  averaging  about  50  cents. 


moire  Louis  Van  Houtte  and  Bernard 
Andre  alba  were  other  favorites.  Rambler 
roses,  acacias,  astilbes,  lilacs  and  a 
variety  of  other  stock  was  noted  at  the 
old  establishment,  in  addition  to  the 
quantities  of  ferns,  palms  and  bedding 
plants.  Before  proceeding  to  the  new 
plant,  some  distance  away,  refreshments 
were  served.  On  motion  of  President 
Westwood  three  cheers  and  a  tiger,  fol- 
lowed by  the  singing  of  "He's  a  jolly 
good  fellow,"  were  accorded  Mr.  Edgar 
and  further  cheers  given  for  Mrs.  Edgar 
and  a  daughter  born  only  two  days 
previously.  Mr.  Edgar's  little  daughters 
recited,  W.  J.  Stewart  sang  ' '  Annie 
Laurie, ' '  P.  Welch  and  others  made  a 
few  remarks  and  then  all  proceeded  to 
the  new  establishment. 

Here  one  house  40x200  was  planted 
with  tomatoes.  Comet  being  used.  In 
another  house  25,000  bedding  geraniums 
in  3 1/4 -inch  pots  were  seen.  Some  7,500 
hydrangeas  were  also  coming  along  for 
Memorial    day    trade. 

Variotis  Notes. 

Thomas  Roland  had  1,800  finely  grown 

rambler   roses,   mostly   pink,    for   Easter 

trade.      He    also    had    splendid    lots    of 

acacias,     marguerites,     lilies,     bougain- 


They  will  bench   10,000   of   it  next  sea- 
son at  Tarrytown. 

B.  K.  Howard,  the  instructor  of  the 
landscape  classes  of  the  Gardeners'  and 
Florists'  Club,  will  address  the  next  club 
meeting  on  April  16  on  landscape  gar- 
dening. At  the  May  meeting  Duncan 
Finlayson  will  tell  the  members  how  to 
plant  and  care  for  an  Italian  garden. 
The  club  banquet  will  be  held  on  or 
about  April  17  and  tickets  will  be  pur- 
chasable from  members  of  the  executive 
committee  and  officers  of  the  club. 

William  Nicholson,  as  usual,  has  a 
grand  lot  of  white  and  yellow  mar- 
guerites of  which  he  is  cutting  some 
thousands  weekly.  These  always  meet 
with  a  quick  sale. 

Peirce  Bros.'  big  lot  of  lilies  were 
never  in  better  shape  for  Easter  and 
every  pot  is  sold  as  usual. 

Among  visitors  ttie  week  were  George 
E.  Baldwin,  Secaucus,  N.  J. ;  E.  B.  Beals, 
Springfield;  T.  W.  Head,  Groton,  Conn.; 
T.  McCarthy,  Providence,  R.  I.;  F.  C. 
Green,  Warwick,  R.  I.;  F.  Heeremans 
and  Edwin  Jenkins,  Lenox;  F.  R.  Pier- 
son,  Tarrytown,  N.  Y. ;  Thomas  Knight, 
Rutherford,  N.  J. ;  George  F.  Struck, 
Orange,  X.  .T.  \y.  N.  Craig.

The  Review  is  pleased  to  publish 
brief  reports  of  the  meetings  of  trade 
societies,  but  secretaries  should  forward 
their  notes  the  day  after  the  meeting; 
don't  hold  them  until  they  become  an- 
cient history. 

This  year  the  wholesale  markets  have 
had  many  more  Enchantress  than  any 
other  variety  of  carnation.  From  the 
demand  for  cuttings  it  appears  that  next 
season  there  may  be  pretty  nearly  as 
many  Enchantress  as  all  other  sorts  com- 
bined. 


Get  a  printed  letter-head;  let  appear- 
ances indicate  that  you  really  are  in  busi- 
ness. 

The  plant  business  has  now  reached 
the  carload  stage,  two  such  shipments 
being  reported  in  this  week's  Chicago 
column. 

Unseasonably  warm  weather  last 
week  glutted  the  cut  flower  i^iarkets 
from  one  end  of  the  country  to  the 
other  and  made  Easter  supplies  abun- 
dant, if  not  of  superlative  quality. 

There  is  a  big  call  for  chrysanthe- 
mum cuttings.  Those  who  have  good 
varieties,  w«ll  rooted,  for  present  deliv- 
ery can  sell  them  quickly  by  offering 
them  in  the  Review's  advertising  col- 
umns. 

Geraniums  from  2-inch  or  2i/^-inch 
pots  are  hard  to  find;  most  of  those 
who  have  them  are  holding  for  the  profit 
to  be  made  by  growing  on  into  4-inch 
pots  after  Easter  stock  is  out  of  the 
way.

CHRYSANTHEMUM  SOCIETY. 

At  the  executive  committee  meeting 
of  the  Chrysanthemum  Society  of  Amer- 
ica, held  in  New  York  city  March  14,  it 
was  unanimously  voted  to  hold  the  next 
meeting  of  the  society  in  New  York, 
thereby  accepting  the  kind  invitation  ex- 
tended by  the  American  Institute 
through  Dr.  Hexamer.  The  enthusiasm 
with  which  the  committee  enters  upon  its 
duties  augurs  well  for  a  successful  meet- 
ing in  November.  The  date  is  left 
open  for  the  present  and  all  possible 
care  will  be  taken  to  prevent  its  con- 
flicting with  any  dates  already  arranged, 
so  that  a  majority  will  be  able  to  avail 
themselves  of  the  opportunity  afforded 
to  exhibit  at,  and  visit,  what  promises 
to  be  the  best  chrysanthemum  show  ever 
held  in  New  York.  Many  valuable  pre- 
miums will  be  offered  for  commercial 
and  exhibition  varieties,  particulars  of 
which  will  be  published  upon  comple- 
tion of  arrangements. 

The  constantly  increasing  membership 
is  very  gratifying,  proving  an  awakened 
interest    in    the    important    work   of    the 


national  society.  But  there  are  still 
many  who,  by  their  skill  in  producing 
such  wonderful  examples  of  the  highest 
culture,  should  fall  in  line  and  lend  their 
influence  to  the  advancement  of  public 
interest  in  the  queen  of  autumn,  and

TO  CANADIAN  SUBSCRIBERS. 

The  present  postal  treaty  between  the 
United  States  and  Canada  expires  May  7. 
The  Canadian  government  has  before  it 
a  proposition  to  increase  the  rate  of 
postage  on  periodicals  from  the  United 
States  to  such  an  extent  as  to  render  it 
necessary  for  American  publishers  to 
materially  raise  their  subscription  prices 
to  Canadian  subscribers.  If  Canadian 
friends  of  the  Review  object  to  such  an 
increase  of  prices,  it  will  be  well  for 
them  to  make  known  their  objections  at 
once  to  the  Canadian  postal  authorities. 


ROSE  SOCIETY  MEMBERSHIP. 

Reviewing  the  work  of  the  American 
Rose  Society  since  the  Boston  meeting, 
Secretary  Benjamin  Hammond  said: 
* '  Our  present  membership  extends  from 
Bellingham  in  northwestern  Washington 
to  Schlesian,  Germany.  We  have  lost  in 
all  five  life  members  by  death — E.  G. 
Asmus,  E.  M.  Wood,  H.  Dale,  George 
Fancourt  and  J.  L.  Dillon,  the  two  lat- 
ter within  the  last  year,  and  each  of 
these  men  was  an  active  rose-grower. 
Two  new  life  members  were  added  to 
our  list,  S.  S.  Pennock  and  Robert  Simp- 
son, making  forty-three  active.  The  an- 
nual membership  who  have  paid  up  their 
dues  for  this  year  number  ninety-one, 
divided  as  eighty-five  active  and  six  as- 
sociate members.  This  division  of  asso- 
ciate members  seems  as  if  it  may  bring 
into  touch  with  this  society  an  extended 
number  of  people  interested  in  local  so- 
cieties. ' ' 

AS  OTHERS  SEE  US. 

It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  I  send 
$2.50  to  pay  my  subscription  another 
year.  It  is  not  only  the  American  florists 
who  can  profit  by  the  Review,  but  even 
for  the  florists  in  Denmark  it  is  a  very 
helpful  and  up-to-date  paper,  and  a 
source  of  valuable  information, 

I  keep  several  Danish,  German  and 
English  trades  papers,  but  the  Review 
beats  them  all.  Chas.  TSomsen.

THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Peter  Lankan. 

Peter  T>angan,  of  Astoria,  N.  Y.,  died 
suddenly  March  lo  at  the  home  of  a 
friend  Avhom  he  was  visiting  at  89  Flush- 
ing avenue.  Mr.  Langan  was  about  50 
years  old.  He  had  for  some  years  re- 
sided with  a  brother  at  921  Crescent  ave- 
nue. He  was  a  veteran  florist  and  also  a 
member  of  the  Veteran  Firemen 's  Asso- 
ciation, of  Long  Island  city.  This  or- 
ganization in  a  body  attended  the 
funeral  services,  which  were  held  Sunday 
afternoon,  !March  17.

CHICAGO. 


The  Great  Central  Market 

We  have  had  a  week  of  summer.  Sat- 
urday, March  23,  the  temperature  was 
80  degrees  in  the  shade,  a  record  with- 
out parallel  in  the  history  of  the  local 
weather  bureau.  The  natural  result  has 
been  that  the  market  has  been  glutted 
with  stock.  There  has  been  too  much 
of  everything,  and  it  has  been  impossi- 
ble to  realize  anything  like  quoted  rates 
in  any  department.  On  Wednesday,  with 
Easter  only  four  days  away,  the  market 
was  at  its  worst.  Everything  was  a  glut, 
Avith  qualities  deteriorating  rapidly  un- 
der the  influence  of  the  damp,  hot  air 
and  no  legitimate  outlet  or  value  for 
more  than  a  small  part  of  the  receipts. 

The  increase  in  supply  has  been  more 
pronounced  in  roses  than  in  carnations, 
although  the  latter  have  sold  at  the  low- 
est prices  of  the  season  as  late  as  Wednes- 
day. American  Beauties  became  over- 
abundant, in  common  with  other  roses. 
Easter  lilies  came  hurrying  in  a  week 
before  they  were  wanted,  and  all  bulb 
stock  felt  the  stimulus  of  the  Avarm, 
bright  days  in  spite  of  all  the  growers 
could  do  to  hold  it  back  for  Easter.  Out- 
door stock  from  the  south  adds  to  the 
congestion. 

It  is  now  certain  that  there  will 
be  an  abundance  in  all  lines  for  the 
Easter  business.  The  booking  of  orders 
has  been  heavier  than  usual,  but  espe- 
cially so  on  lilies.  It  now  appears  that 
most  of  the  lilies  will  be  ready  and 
wholesalers  have  no  fear  of  a  shortage. 
Roses  will  be  plentiful  and  all  bulbous 


stock  will  be  in  huge  supply.  Violets, 
sweet  peas,  mignonette,  and  pansies  all 
are  coming  in  heavily.  The  carnation 
crop  has  not  felt  the  effect  of  the  weath- 
er so  much  as  other  lines,  although  re- 
ceipts are  heavy.  The  fact  is  that  the 
carnation  crop  is  on  the  down  grade; 
we  have  had  our  heaviest  production, 
some  growers  say,  until  late  in  the 
spring. 

Out  of  town  buyers  need  have  no  hes- 
itancy in  calling  on  this  market  for  ad- 
ditional supplies  of  stock  if  they  find 
their  Easter  demand  running  ahead  of 
anticipations.  This  market  will  have  the 
stock  to  meet  all  calls  up  to  Saturday 
night  and  every  wholesaler  will  exert 
himself  to  see  that  orders  are  out 
promptly.  They  all  will  be  thinking  of 
the  orders  which  are  to  come  after 
Easter. 

The  local  buyers  have  laid  in  heavily 
of  plants,  but  have  not  yet  bought  much 
in  the  cut  flower  line,  except  lilies,  hop- 
ing for  a  repetition  of  last  year's  ex-' 
perience,  when  the  market  broke  badly 
after  the  shipping  demand  had  been 
taken  care  of. 

George  Reinberg,  Orchid  Specialist. 

Joseph  Foerster,  manager  of  the  sell- 
ing end  of  the  George  Reinberg  estab- 
lishment, states  that  in  the  last  week 
they  have  placed  an  order  with  the  Ju- 
lius Roehrs  Co.,  Rutherford,  N.  J.,  for 
established  orchid  plants  for  immediate 
shipment  sufficient  to  give  them  a  stand- 
ing as  the  orchid  specialists  of  the  west. 
The  plants  will  make  such  a  bulk  they 
will  be  shipped  ag  a  carload,  and  should 
come  through  safely  by  fast  freight. 
The   plants   include   all   the    popular   cut 


flower  varieties,  of  such  size  as  will  give 
immediate  bloom,  according  to  their  sea- 
son. William  Arnold,  foreman  for 
(ileorge  Reinberg,  is  something  of  an 
orchid  expert,  so  that  the  undertaking 
is  not  of  experimental  character.  Mr. 
Foerster  thinks  the  present  excellent 
market  for  orchids  is  only  a  beginning 
of  what  it  will  be  in  a  few  years,  and 
surely  Chicago,  with  its  great  shipping 
trade,  is  the  best  center  in  the  country 
for  an  orchid  growing  establishment. 

Beauties  by  the  Carload. 

Peter  Reinberg  has  just  finished 
planting  six  houses  of  the  Mrs.  Marshall 
Field  rose.  It  is  grafted  stock  and  in 
splendid  condition.  The  space  was  for- 
merly used  for  Beauties  and  10,000  of 
the  bench  plants  were  sold  to  Heller 
Bros.,  the  South  Park  Floral  Co.,  New 
Castle.  The  10,000  plants  made  just  a 
nice   carload. 

A  Near-Arrest. 

Word  has  gone  out  in  the  automobile 
industry  that  Alderiium  Reinberg  has 
conimissionod  Leonard  Kill  to  select  for 
him  the  best  machine  on  the  market. 
The  result  is  that  Mr.  Kill  is  receiving 
a  great  many  invitations  for  a  little 
spin.  March  21  a  gentleman,  anxious 
to  make  a  sale,  took  ^Ir.  Kill  and  N.  J. 
Wietor  for  a  run  up  the  north  shore. 
They  liad  only  fairly  gotten  up  speed  ou 
the  Sheridan  drive  when  they  were 
flagged  by  a  policeman  and  the'  chauf- 
feur placed  under  arrest.  The  justice 
said  the  fun  was  worth  .$25  and,  as  the 
automobile  man  did  not  have  the  price, 
the  florists  had  to  pay  it  for  him, 
though  he  subsequently  sent  it  back.

Hauswirth's  New  Store. 

The  adaition  to  the  Auditorium  Annex 
is  rapidly  nearing  completion  and  with 
it  P.  J.  Hauswirth  's  new  flower  store 
at  the  south  end  of  the  Michigan  ave- 
nue front.  The  store  will  be  of  good 
size  and  of  such  character  that  no  more 
than  an  ice-box  and  some  marble-topped 
tables  will  be  needed  in  the  way  of  fix- 
tures. A  basement  for  storage  and  work 
will  be  one  of  the  added  facilities.  At 
the  rear  of  the  store  will  be  a  large 
conservatory,  Ijelonging  to  the  hotel,  but 
which  will  be  an  immense  advantage  to 
the  flower  store,  as  it  will  attract  many 
guests  of  the  hotel  to  the  entrance  to 
the  store.  The  building  will  be  com- 
pleted around  May  1  and  will  be  by  all 
odds  the  finest  hotel  building  in  the 
west.  It  was  probably  inevitable  that 
other  retailers  should  a.sk  for  the  lease, 
although  they  never  had  any  chance  of 
accomplishing  anything  except  to  make 
Mr.  Hauswirth 's  rent  cost  him  more 
than  it  otherwise  would. 

Variotu  Notes. 

The  E.  F.  Winterson  Co.  is  in  its 
additional  space  on  the  street  floor  at 
45  to  49  Wabash  this  week.  Their  stock 
of  Easter  plants  came  in  so  heavily  that 
it  overflowed  upon  the  sidewalk  and 
made  a  display  which  has  attracted  a 
large  amount  of  retail  business,  al- 
though the  bulk  of  the  sales  the  first 
of  the  week  were  wholesale.  They  con- 
template putting  in  a  large  stock,  doing 
retail  business  on  the  street  floor  and 
wholesale  in  the  basement. 

The  Benthey-Coatsworth  Co.  reports 
that  summer  has  struck  New  Castle  with 
full    force.      The    crop    of    Brides    and 


Maids  is  something  tremendous  and  the 
quality  is  remarkably  good  considering 
the  heat. 

John  Lang,  at  Melrose  and  Robey 
streets,  has  filed  a  claim  with  the  gas 
company  asking  that  he  be  reimbursed 
to  the  extent  of  something  like  $2,000 
for  damage  done  to  three  houses  of  car- 
nations by  gas  which,  he  claims,  es- 
caped from  the  company's  mains  and 
found  its  way  out  of  the  frozen  ground 
through  the  greenhouses. 

Percy  Jones  has  received  the  advance 
guard  of  the  procession  of  red  gladioli 
which  will  shortly  begin  to  march 
through  his  place  in  the  market. 

A.  Lange  has  a  vacant  room  in  the 
Heyworth  building  for  his  Easter  plant 
sales. 

Bassett  &  Washburn  have  not  yet  set- 
tled upon  a  name  for  their  red  seed- 
ling carnation,  No.  20,  which  they  will 
disseminate  next  season.  They  would 
like  to  call  it  Hinsdale,  but  there  is  an 
old  variety  called  Judge  Hinsdale.  Mr. 
Washburn  thinks  of  calling  it  Orland, 
after  Orland  P.  Bassett,  who  is  now  in 

Egypt. 

J.  F.  Klimmer,  at  Oak  Park,  has  had 
excellent  results  with  Flamingo  carna- 
tion this  season  and  says  that  beside 
Craig  and  Victory  it  shows  up  well  in 
every  particular.  At  the  last  club  meet- 
ing he  was  interested  in  the  statement 
that  with  most  growers  carnation  crops 
all  season  have  been  below  the  average. 
He  says  his  own  cut  has  been  twenty  per 
cent  heavier  than  last  year.  E.  C.  Am- 
ling,  who  was  present,  said  that,  while 
ho  thought  it  true  tha^  carnation  crops 
generally  had  been  lighter  than  ordi- 
nary,   one   of   his    growers   a   little   way 


south   has  had   heavier  crops  than   ever 
before  and  better  quality. 

At  E.  H.  Hunt's  they  have  daily  re- 
ceipts of  the  Gen.  MacArthur  rose.  Many 
buyers  like  it  better  than  either  Liberty 
or  Richmond  and  some  of  the  stems  are 
as  long  as  in  either  of  the  other  va- 
rieties. Fragrance  is  one  of  its  special 
characteristics. 

August  Poehlmann  was  elected  a  mem- 
ber of  the  executive  committee  of  the 
American  Rose  Society  at  the  Washing- 
ton meeting  in  the  interest  of  next 
year's  exhibition  at  Chicago. 

March  21  a  runaway  horse  dashed 
into  the  Wabash  Fruit  and  Flower  Store, 
325  Wabash  avenue,  by  way  of  the 
show  window. 

Seitz  &  Nordell,  who  have  the  place 
of  the  late  John  C.  Ure,  at  2923  Evans- 
ton  avenue,  have  secured  the  property 
just  across  from  their  present  location 
and  will  build  new  greenhouses  there. 
The  new  plant  will  be  double  the  pres- 
ent capacity  and  will  be  completed  by 
August. 

A  holdup  man  entered  the  back  door 
of  Darley  &  Dunbar's  store  on  West 
Madison  street  one  evening  last  week, 
but  on  being  shown  the  muzzle  of  a  re- 
volver laid  down  his  own  weapon  to  the 
man  who  had  the  drop  and  was  handed 
over  to  a  nearby  policeman.  F.  W.  Dar- 
ley says  business  has  been  good;  they 
have  been  having  a  run  of  funeral  work. 

Among  the  visitors  of  the  week  were 
.T.  R.  Bather,  Clinton,  la.,  buying  Easter 
supplies;  Mr.  Schenek,  of  Schenck  & 
Bliese  Co.,  Waukesha,  Wis.,  consulting 
the  John  C.  Moninger  Co.  about  a  new 
greenhouse;  H.  W.  Buckbee,  Rockford,

WCXDD  LICE. 


Will  someone  tell  me  how  to  get  rid 
of  wood  lice  or  sow  bugs  in  green- 
houses? H.   M.  S. 


It  is  difficult  to  entirely  eradicate 
these  from  greenhouses.  Keep  as  little 
decaying  wood  and  other  debris  in  the 
houses  as  possible,  for  these  act  as  ideal 
lurking  places  for  them.  They  may 
be  poisoned  with  a  mixture  of  fresh 
bran  and  powdered  sugar  to  which  is 
added  some  Paris  green  or  white  ar- 
senic. Lay  the  mixture  in  small  saucers 
in  the  evening  and  do  not  leave  it 
around  where  animals  or  children  can 
reach  it.  Turnips  or  potatoes,  if 
scooped  out  partially  and  laid  around, 
will  form  a  trap  for  many.  Look 
around  daily  and  destroy  all  found  on 
them  by  dipping  in  hot  water.  Boiling 
water,    or    as    near   boiling    as   possible. 


if  poured  under  stages  infested  by  them, 
will  kill  large  quantities.  Use  a  water- 
ing pot  with  a  coarse  rose  in  applying 
the  water.  C.   W. 


LOOSE  CREDITS. 


Loose  credits  are  an  evil  affecting 
many  lines  of  business,  but  it  is  doubt- 
ful if  there  is  in  any  line  of  merchan- 
dising less  system  applied  to  this  im- 
portant feature  than  is  the  case  in  the 
florists'  trade.  Not  only  are  both  retail 
and  wholesale  buyers  carried  longer 
than  they  should  be,  but  credit  is  given 
in  many  cases  where  it  is  wholly  un- 
warranted. Mot  only  are  profits  re- 
duced by  the  necessity  of  charging  off 
large  amounts  where  misfortune  or  poor 
judgment  have  resulted  in  the  downfall 
of  an  honest  man,  but  lax  methods  of 
credit  and  collection  open  the  way  to 
those  whose  intention  it  is  to  pay  only 
so  long  as  it  appears  to  them  to  be 
worth  while  to  do  so.  Unfortunately 
there  are  on  the  outskirts  of  our  trade, 
as  in  every  other,  men  who  value  a  good 
name  at  only  a  very  few  dollars. 

To  illustrate  both  the  character  of 
men  we  sometimes  meet  and  the  ease 
with  which  they  may  continue  for  a  time 
in  the  business,  there  is  the  story  of  a 
recent  incident  which  took  place  in  a 
middle   western    city.     A   party   without 


resources  other  than  wit  secured  a  foot- 
hold for  a  flower  stand.  To  get  stock 
he  would  call  up  wholesalers  in  other 
cities  on  the  long-distance  telephone,  al- 
ways having  made  an  appointment  for 
a  little  after  six  o'clock.  Always  he 
was  in  the  greatest  haste.  His  story 
varied,  but  he  did  not  hesitate  to  name 
as  references  houses  where  he  was 
wholly  unknown.  He  would  not  have 
stock  sent  C,  O,  D,,  but  later  succeeded 
in  getting  second  shipments  from  some 
of  those  who  accepted  his  representa- 
tions by  telling  them  over  the  'phone 
that  he  liad  mailed  a  check  for  the  first 
bill.  Where  a  C.  0.  D.  was  sent  he  se- 
cured its  release  by  'phoning  that  he 
had  already  mailed  a  check — which 
never  came. 

It  does  not  follow  that  because  a 
man  names  good  references  he  is  en- 
titled to  credit.  He  has  no  right  to 
expect  credit  until  time  has  been  given 
to  look  up  the  references.  It  is  taking 
chances  to  ship  cut  flowers  C.  0.  D.  to  a 
distant  stranger,  but  yet  it  appears  that 
it  is  sometimes  possible  to  get  stock 
with  no  other  preliminary  than  indicat- 
ing that  it  can  be  used. 

Waukesha,  Wis. — Schenck  &  Bliese 
Co.  reports  demand  steadily  increasing.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising:  Eastern  Market. 

The  feature  of  the  market  is  the  tre- 
raeiulous  supply  of  southern  daffodils 
now  arriving.  *  The  supply  is  so  large 
that  it  is  impossible  to  market  them  at 
fair  prices.  Thanks  to  the  activity  of 
the  wholesalers,  and  in  many  cases  of 
the  street  men,  most  of  them  are  mar- 
keted at  some  figure,  although  occasion- 
ally tales  of  woe  are  heard.  White  car- 
nations are  probably  the  most  active  fea- 
ture of  a  rather  "listless  market.  The 
demand  is  irregular  on  nearly  all  flow- 
ens,  and  especially  so  on  roses.  It  had 
been  expected  that  for  two  weeks  before 
Easter  business  would  gradually  im- 
prove, but  this  hope  has  not  been  real- 
ized. We  have  experienced  a  period  of 
dullness  for  the  current  week,  from 
Thursday,  March  -Jl,  to  Wednesday, 
March  27. 

Easter  Prospects. 

Indications  for  Kaster,  on  the  eve  of 
the  rush,  point  to  an  excellent  business 
in  plants,  probably  even  greater  than 
that  of  la.st  year.  Immense  quantities  of 
stock  have  been  sold,  and  are  being  de- 
livered to  the  stores  or  the  express  com- 
panies; so  large  a  quantity  that  it  gives 
ground  for  the  belief  that  nearly  all  the 
first-class  stock  in  good  condition  has 
been  marketed.  There  are,  on  many 
places,  considerable  numbers  of  plants 
that  are  not  ready  or  do  not  meet  mar- 
ket requirements.  It  is  impossible  to 
give  any  idea  regarding  cut  flower  pros- 
pects beyond  the  general  statement  that 
the  supply  will  be  large.  Exi)ert  judges 
believe  that  the  supply  of  cut  lilies, 
large  as  it  is,  will  not  equal  the  demand, 
and  also  that,  when  the  demand  sets  in, 
which  they  believe  will  be  late,  it  will 
sweep  everything  before  it. 

Up  the  Stfeet. 

It  is  a  slang  expression,  among  the 
cut  flower  salesmen,  and  even  with  the 
dignified  salesmen  in  the  retail  stores, 
that  going  "up  the  street"  means  go- 
ing to  Pennock  Bros. '  Jt  so  happened 
that  Phil  went  "up  the  street"  to  see 
what  was  new  in  plants.  The  conserva-

was  filled  with  specimens  of  choice  flow- 
ering plants,  well  worth  seeing.  They 
represented  the  combined  skill  of  all  the 
best  plant  growers  around  Philadelphia. 
There  were  many  fine  specimens  of  all 
the  standard  varieties  of  Easter  plants. 
Among  them  were  a  few  novelties  of 
more  than  ordinary  interest.  The  most 
striking  of  these  was  the  Japanese 
azalea,  Hyno  de  Giri,  which  may  be  de- 
scribed as  a  lively  cerise  in  color;  the 
pair  of  specimens  were  in  12-inch  pots, 
a  mass  of  bloom,  gorgeous  to  behold. 
Another  novelty  was  the  variegated  Bou- 
gainvillea  W^.  K.  Harris,  seen  for  the 
first  time  in  bloom,  its  variegated  foliage 
contrasting  strikingly  with  the  purple 
flowers.  A  novel  basket  used  as  a  plant 
hamper  is  made  entirely  of  pussy-wil- 
lows. This  is  quite  unique,  the  shape 
resembling  a  good-sized  square  scrap 
basket.  The  willows  are  kept  moist  un- 
til  sent    out,    so    that    they    retain    their 


life  and  develop.  These  baskets  are 
filled  beautifully  with  flowering  plants 
and  an  occasional  touch  of  greeir. 

Brandy  wine  Summit. 

Two  passengers  on  the  West  Philadel- 
phia platform  last  Saturday  consulted  a 
small  man  standing  near  them  as  to 
whether  the  7:21  over  the  Baltimore  Cen- 
tral came  on  that  track.  "No,"  the 
man  said,  "it  does  not,  but  the  8:21 
may.  It  is  after  8  now. ' '  Consterna- 
tion, consultation  of  watches,  relief,  ar- 
rival of  the  third  passenger  and  the  7:21 
in  quick  succession.  Then  the  train 
pulled  out  for  the  south  and  the  trip  to 
Brandywine  Summit,  postponed  from  last 
October,  was  begun.  The  trio  consisted 
of  C.  F.  Wertsncr,  who  can  elect  any- 
body he  pleases  president  of  the  German- 
town  Horticultural  Society  (I  don't  say 

" "  pleases,   for  Mr,  Wertsner  is  a

who  believes  Enchantress  is  the  only  car- 
nation and  that  Zvolanek  is  the  greatest 
floricultiiral  benefactor,  and  Phil,  who 
believes  that  no  effort  should  be  spared 
to  keep  the  Review  in  the  lead. 

The  train  pulled  into  our  station 
at  8:1.1.  It  was  a  glorious  day,  clear 
and  cold,  just  the  sort  of  day  when  a 
morning  walk  is  a  luxury.  Even  Mr. 
Wertsner,  who  never  walks  from  prefer- 
once,  admitted  that  the  mile  or  so  over 
the  road  and  across  the  fields  aroused  a 
glow  of  Avarmth  that  was  grateful.  Our 
destination  was  Albin  Harvey  &  Sons' 
place.  A  cordial  greeting  from  father 
and  both  sons  made  the  visitors  at  once 
feel  at  home,  as  Mr.  Wertsner  confiden- 
tially remarked  when  he  returned  to  B.  S. 
(N.  B. — This  does  not  stand  for  brandy 
and  soda.) 

The  greenhouses  of  Albin  Harvey  & 
Sons  are  of  twentieth  century  origin, 
commencing    with    a    couple    of    houses. 


built  as  an  outlet  for  boyish  energy,  and 
continuing  v\ith  more  and  more  houses, 
until  last  season's  addition  of  15,000 
feet  of  glass  brought  the  place  up  to 
something  like  45,000  square  feet  in  all. 
The  range  of  truss  houses  added  last  sea- 
son evidences  the  progressive  spirit  that 
dominates.  These  houses  are  wonderfully 
light.  The  feeling  is,  however,  strongly 
in  favor  of  the  detached  house,  with  no 
gutters  to  hold  ice  and  snow.  The  Messrs. 
Har\-Tey  own  over  200  acres  of  ground, 
so  that  they  can  afford  space  between 
houses  and,  as  Review  readers  will  re- 
call, one  of  their  houses  was  injured  in 
the  snow  of  February  4.  The  weight 
proved  too  great  at  2:30  a.  m.  The  fore- 
man called  the  owners,  who  luckily  had 
lumber  on  hand.  A  hard  night's  work 
enabled  them  to  board  off  the  uninjured 
parts  so  that  five-sixths  of  the  range  was 
saved  from  frost.  All  the  houses  are 
now    strengthened.      These    houses    were 


light  to  a  degree  rarely  seen.  The  stock 
looked  very  well,  the  plants  vigorous, 
flowers  large  and  perfect.  It  must  in 
fairness  be  adde(f  that  the  stock  in  the 
heavier  and  narrower  houses  was  also 
very  fine.  It  took  just  three  weeks  to  put 
this  section  of  house  back  into  commis- 
sion. 

Albin  Harvey  &  Sons  are  growers  of 
high  grade  carnations.  Their  varieties 
are  Lady  Bountiful,  White  Perfection 
and  The  Queen,  white,  of  which  they  have 
two  houses;  Enchantress,  pale  pink,  and 
Mrs.  Lawson,  rose-pink.  The  last  named 
variety  was  not  satisfactory  this  season 
and  was  replaced  by  sweet  peas,  which 
have  proved  an  excellent  crop.  Young 
plants  of  Lawson  are  already  planted  in 
the  injured  section,  to  remain  there  all 
summer.  Prosperity  is  grown,  but  it  is 
not  found  profitable,  though  it  yields  fine 
flowers.  The  scarlet  and  crimson  classes 
are  well  represented.  Robert  Craig,  Fla- 
mingo, Cardinal  and  Harlowarden  were 
all  nicely  done.  I  think  there  was  an- 
other scarlet,  possibly  Crane.  My  im- 
pression was  that  a  less  skilful  grower 
would  find  this  proportion  of  perhaps 
one-fifth  too  many  reds.  The  propagat- 
ing house  was  a  pretty  sight.  Winsor 
was  noticed  in  3-inch  pots  in  another 
house. 

One  bench  is  devoted  to  mignonette, 
which  has  been  fine.  Some  heavy  spikes 
are  still  there  for  seed. 

The  large  dairy  was  next  visited,  then 
the  silo  and  ensilage.  All  was  clean  and 
neat.  The  output  goes  to  the  Sharpless 
creamery.  Mushrooms  are  grown  under 
some  carnation  benches.  There  is  also  a 
regular  mushroom  house,  with  five  tiers 
of  benches.  Good  crops  have  been  har- 
vested, with  more  in  sight, 

I  cannot  close  without  mentioning  two 
historic  landmarks,  one  seen,  the  other 
heard:  The  house  in  which  Gen,  Howe 
made  his  headquarters  at  the  battle,  now 
the  home  of  .Mr,  Harvey,  Jr.,  and  Mr. 
Wertsner 's  engineer  story.     Here  it  is: 

"An  engineer  constructing  a  railway 
had  much  trouble  with  his  supply  train; 
it  jumped  the  track  daily.  He  reported 
to  his  superior  each  night  on  six  or  sevpu 
pages  of  foolscap.  The  chief  didn  't  like 
this  and  wrote  him,  'Boil  it  down,'  Still 
five  or  six  pages  of  big  paper,  A  second 
command,     'Boil     it    down,     sir,'     made

things  seem  serious.  The  engineer  sat 
up  all  that  night  boiling.  Here  is  his 
report :  ' '  Off  again,  on  again,  gone  again, 
Finnegan. ' ' 

You  may  ask  why  Mr.  Wertsner  's  witty 
story  is  historic.  Well,  Phil  attempted 
to  get  it  off  afterwards  on  quite  a  young 
man.  Before  two  words  had  been  spoken 
the  young  man  said  with  a  bored  look, 
"If  that  is  the  Finnegan  story,  I  heard

L.  G.  Blick,  of  Norfolk,  Va.,  suffered 
a  severe  loss  in  the  death  of  his  father, 
which  occurred  last  Sunday.  Mr.  Blick 
has  many   friends   in  this  city. 

Among  the  visitors  here  within  the 
last  few  days  were  "William  F.  Gude 
and  the  Freemans,  father  and  son,  of 
"Washington,  D.  C. ;  John  Cook,  and 
William  F.  and  Charles  Feast,  of  Balti- 
more, Md. 

The  Philadelphia  Cut  Flower  Co.  will 
remove  from  its  present  quarters  at  1516 
and  1518  Sansom  street,  July  1,  to  1517 
Sansom  '  street.  The  * '  Philadelphia 
Cut, ' '  as  its  loyal  supporters  term  it, 
will  have  greatly  increased  facilities  in 
the  new  building,  where  it  will  occupy 
the  first  and  second  floors. 

Charles  Balderston,  of  Colora,  Md.,  is 
sending  some  fine  Gen.  Jacqueminot 
roses,  quite  a  rarity  in  this  market  until 
Easter,  to  W.  E.  McKissick. 

H.  Bayersdorfer  &  Co.  received  many 
cases  of  Easter  baskets  on  the  steamer 
Menomenie,  which  were  sold  in  original 
case  lots.  They  have  been  greatly 
pushed  this  week  filling  the  last  moment 
orders. 

"W.  &  Harry  F.  Evans,  of  Kowland- 
ville,  Pa.,  have  6,000  fine  pots  of  lilies. 


which  Leo  Niessen  says  have  all  made 
Easter,  except  only  a  dozen  or  so  plants. 

Charles  Schmitt,  of  Harrisburg,  haa 
been  in  this  city  recently. 

Berger  Bros,  are  fortunate  in  having 
a  heavy  cut  of  fancy  Brides  and  Maids 
from  Stockton  &  Howe  for  Easter. 

Emil  Gerschick  is  making  a  fine 
Easter  display  on  the  old  Cliffe  place 
at  Main  and  Johnson  streets,  German-

"William  Munro,  of  Garrettford,  is 
sending  fine  Kaiserins  to  the  Philadel- 
phia (^t  Flower  Co.  and  to  W.  E.  Mc- 
Kissick. 

Mr.  Masolf,  representing,  the  King 
Construction  Co.,  has  taken  charge  of 
the  operations  at  North  "Wales  for  tho 
Florex  Gardens.  The  smaller  house  has 
been  commenced.  A  carload  of  millwork 
lost  in  transit  has  been  recovered. 

The  tri-city  bowling  tournament,  sched- 
uled for  last  Thursday,  in  this  city,  has 
bees  postponed  until  after  Easter. 

The  spring  show  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Horticultural  Society  was  held  on  Tues- 
day, "Wednesday  and  Thursday  of  this 
week  in  Horticultural  hall. 

Paul  Berkowitz,  of  H.  Bayersdorfer 
&  Co.,  was  among  the  Philadelphians  in 
"Washington  during  the  rose  show.  Mr. 
Berkowitz  has  some  interesting  ideas  re- 
garding the  possibilities  of  the  business 
which  I  hope  to  give  later. 

Edw.  J.  Fancourt,  secretary  of  the 
S.  S.  Pennock-Meehan  Co.,  has  returned 
from  a  successful  six  weeks*  business 
trip. 

"William  J.  Moore  has  been  king  bee 
on  southern  daffodils,  of  which  he  has 
disposed  of  immense  numbers. 

The  Hugh  Graham  Co.,  Logan,  Pa., 
has  flowered  some  plants  of  Frau  Karl 


Dtuschki  rose,  variously  described  as 
the  white  American  Beauty  and  the 
white  Brunner.  These  plants  are  said 
to  be  remarkably  well  done. 

M.  Bice  &  Co.  are  receiving,  on  an 
average,  a  dozen  telegrams  daily  for 
Easter  supplies,  and  report  that  all  or- 
ders are  filled  and  shipped  as  soon  as 
received,  they  having  made  special  pro- 
visions for  a  large  Easter  business  this 
year. 

Edward  Reid  says  plant  sales  are 
ahead  of  last  year. 

Leo  Niessen  says  the  plant  growers  are 
already  refusing  orders. 

J.  J.  Habermehl's  Sons  have  a  fine 
display  of  well-grown  flowering  stock. 

The  Eobert  Craig  Co.  had  fine  rhodo- 
dendrons and  Magna  Charta  roses  in  ad- 
dition to  the  stock  described  two  weeks 
ago. 

Jacob  Becker  had  a  lot  of  well-grown 
Easter  plants. 

Myers  &  Samtman,  of  Wyndmoor,  Pa., 
will  add  one  house  200  feet  long  and,  I 
think,  56  feet  wide,  for  American  Beauty 
roses  this  season.  They  will  use  Lord  & 
Burnham  material  with  Stems  bars. 
This  house,  with  the  rearrangement  of 
two  other  houses,  will  increase  their 
capacity  for  American  Beauty  roses 
from  26,000  and  some  odd,  to  35,000, 
exactly  the  number  to  be  planted  by  the 
Florex  Gardens. 

F.  R.  Matsinger,  of  Palmyra,  N.  J.^ 
should  be  an  ardent  Review  man  here- 
after.   Ask  him  why.  PhDj. 

Lincoln,  III. — Gullett  &  Sons  had 
their  lilies  ready  in  good  season  and 
shipped  quite  a  number  in  pots.  The 
bulk  of  the  stock,  however,  is  sold  at 
wholesale,  cut.

SUBJECT  TO  MARKET  CHANOH. 


NEW  YORK. 


The  Market 


Spring  arrived  promptly  on  time. 
March  21  saw  the  warmest  spring  open- 
ing of  the  generation  and  a  temperature 
of  75  degrees.  If  the  weather  will  play 
a  continuous  performance  until  Sunday 
we  shall  see  the  record-breaking  Easter 
we  have  learned  to  expect  every  year 
!ind  the  vagaries  of  an  erratic  winter 
will  be  forgiven  and  forgotten.  But 
tliese  early  Easters  are  not  popular. 
The  oldest  wholesalers  are  filled  with 
forebodings  of  sudden  changes,  extremes 
of  weather  and  consequent  disaster.  It 
is  small  comfort  to  know  that  next  year 
Kaster  will  arrive  three  weeks  later. 
"Sufficient  unto  the  day  is  the  risk 
thereof."  But  before  this  issue  of  the 
Rkview  reaches  its  New  York  readers 
tlie  business  will  be  at  its  height. 

The  plant  growers  are  already  out  of 
the  woods  and  every  good  specimen  has 
been  sold.  With  the  exception  of  the 
lilies   there    has   been   no   advance   above 


the  normal  average.  Azaleas  have  sold 
at  reasonable  figures  and  consequently 
enterprising  importers  of  large  quanti- 
ties are  happy  and  well  rewarded. 

Lilies  a  week  before  Easter  were  firm 
at  15  cents.  What  the  belated  buyers 
may  have  to  pay  before  the  week  is  over 
is  a  question.  I  think  any  first-class 
flowers,  cut  or  with  pots,  will  bring 
good  money. 

The  prospects  for  an  uninterrupted 
spring  were  shaded  Sunday  and  Monday 
by  a  descent  to  freezing  temperature 
again,  but  wiih  the  sun  beyond  the 
meridian  and  the  cut  flower  growers  as- 
sured of  an  abundant  crop  there  seems 
little  ground  for  pessimism  and  abun- 
dant hope    for  grand  results  to  all. 

Last  week  was  a  severe  one  in  the 
wholesale  market.  Prices  were  sacrificed 
in  all  departments.  The  finest  Beau- 
ties were  begging  at  $3  a  dozen,  for 
thousands  of  all  grades  came  in  with 
the  spring.  It  isn  't  often  one  sees  an 
ice-box  crowded  with  American  Beau- 
ties.    This  would  indicate  as  the  Easter 


figure  no  higher  than  $6  per  dozen  for 
the  finest  selection.  Other  roses  par- 
ticipated in   the  slump. 

The  Southern  narcissi  are  arriving 
just  as  the  local  supply  was  shortening. 
Every  variety  of  bulbous  stock  is  abun- 
dant. 

If  anything  fails  to  meet  the  demand 
it  will  be  the  orchid.  So  rapidly  is  it 
becoming  appreciated  everywhere  thiit 
the  supply  henceforth  can  never  be 
capable  of  competely  filling  the  demand. 
This   is   especially   so    at    Easter. 

As  to  violets  for  Easter,  it  all  de- 
pends on  the  weather.  Should  the  tem- 
perature again  reach  the  high  mark  of 
March  23,  quality  will  deteriorate  and 
prices  for  first-class  stock  be  high.  Judg- 
ing by  the  floods  of  violets  during  the 
past  week,  there  need  be  no  fear  as  to 
the  quantity. 

VariouB  Notes. 

April  8,  one  week  from  Monday,  will 
be  ladies'  night  and  rose  night  at  the 
New  York  Florists'  Club.  Splendid  ex- 
hibits  are  assured.     A  large   attendance

of  the  fair  sex  is  a  certainty  and  spe- 
cial attractions  are  promised  by  both 
the  culinary  and  entertainment  depart- 
ments. The  outing  committee  will  meet 
at  the  oflSee  of  V.  H.  Traendly  at  5 
o'clock  the  afternoon  of  the  club  meet- 
ing. This  will  be  the  last  ladies'  night 
of  the  season. 

Henry  A.  Siebrecht  lectured  March  27 
on  "Flowers  for  Easter  and  for  Spring 
Gardens"  at  the  American  Institute. 

A.  LeMoult,  the  veteran  florist  of  the 
Bowery,  is  spending  the  Easter  holidays 
with  his  family  at  Atlantic  City  and 
putting  the  responsibilities  of  the  busy 
time  upon  the  shoulders  of  Adolph,  Jr., 
on  whom  the  mantle  will  later  fall,  and 
through  whom  the  reputation  of  nearly 
half  a  century  will  be  perpetuated. 

Coles  &  Co.,  of  109  Warren  street. 
New  York,  are  finding  the  demand  for 
their  verbena  baskets  greater  this  spring 
than  in  all  their  twenty-three  years'  ex- 
perience, a  healthful  sign  as  to  the 
prospective  suburban  demands  upon  the 
big  seed  houses  of  this  center.  Day  and 
night  all  the  garden  supply  establish- 
ments are  busy  with  increased  forces. 

Jefferson    Doremus,    of    ^Madison,    was 


in  the  city  March  23,  philosophizing  as 
to  Easter  needs  in  Beauties,  Maids  and 
Brides,  of  which  he  grows  an  abun- 
dance. A.  J.  (jiuttman  uandles  this  fine 
stock,  as  well  as  the  Lawson  and  En- 
chantress grown  by  John  Joyce,  of  Con- 
gers. 

Myer  Othile,  with  Mr.  Guttman,  has 
the  sympathy  of  all  in  the  loss  of  his 
mother,  who  died  at  357  West  Forty- 
fourth  street  March  20.  The  burial  was 
on  Friday  at  Washington  cemetery.  The 
floral  offerings  were  many  and  beautiful. 

Mr.  Peth,  for  many  years  proprietor 
of  Bridgeman's  Seed  Warehouse,  and 
later  a  retail  florist  in  Harlem,  is  now 
with  William  Elliott  &  Sons. 

James  Weir  &  Sons,  Brooklyn,  have 
assumed  the  management  of  the  cut 
flower  and  plant  department  in  the  big 
store  of  Abram  &  Straus  of  that  city. 

At  another  large  department  store  in 
Brooklyn  C.  C.  Trepel  has  built  up  a 
tremendous  retail  business,  its  cut  flower 
department  presided  over  by  Mrs.  Tre- 
pel, and  the  sales  in  plants  and  flowers 
aggregating  daily  more  than  a  month 's 
receipts  in  an  ordinary  store. 

F.    Mellstroni,    representing   Sander    & 


Son,    of    St.    Albans,    England,    has    ar- 
rived for  his  regular  American  trip. 

The  sympathy  of  the  trade  is  ex- 
tended to  A,  Moltz  in  the  loss  of  his 
mother. 

M.  A.  Bowe  recovered  from  a  severe 
illness  just  in  time  for  the  Easter  busi- 
ness. This  store  of  his  in  the  heart  of 
the  city  is  a  busy  transient  center. 

This  is  James  McManus '  first  Easter 
in  his  enlarged  and  central  headquarters 
on  West  Twenty-eighth  street,  now  none 
too  large  for  the  big  trade  persistent 
attention  to  business  has  evolved. 

Traendly  &  Schenek  have  a  flower  show 
every  day  on  their  three  floors.  Among 
the  important  developments  of  the  year 
was  the  translation  of  the  junior  member 
of  the  firm  into  the  reliable  ranks  of  the 
benedicts.  Now  everything  moves  along 
without  any  friction  and  the  wheels  of 
progress  are  seemingly  well  oiled. 

J.  K.  Allen  is  celebrating  this  year  his 
twentieth  Easter  and  six  o'clock  in  the 
morning  is  the  record  he  holds  without 
a  break  during  nearly  a  quarter  of  a 
century.  There  isn  't  anything  in  cut 
flowers  worth  mentioning  that  he  does 
not  offer  for  the  holiday,  and  he  draws

March  28,  1907. 


the    ranks   of    the   benedicts,    about    the 
time  of  June  roses. 

L.  B.  Coddington 's  roses  are  winning 
a  name  in  rosedom,  and  their  name  is 
legion  since  the  big  houses  were  com- 
pleted. H.  E.  Froment  handles  the  en- 
tire output,  violets  being  another  spe- 
cialty of  this  popular  house.  There  have 
been  no  changes  in  the  office  staff  dur- 
ing the  year  and  the  big  ship  floats  on 
an  even  keel. 

William  Starke  says  he  had  more  or- 
ders booked  for  the  Easter  trade  than 
his  conservatories  would  hold  if  they 
were  four  times  as  large.  He  seems  to 
empty  the  one  on  Twenty-ninth  street 
several  times  weekly. 

John  Seligman  and  Joseph  J.  Levy 
are  on  the  crest  of  prosperity's  wave. 
They  have  grown  fast  since  Easter,  1906. 
Courtesy,  attention  to  business  and  per- 
sistency always  culminate  in  success. 
Then,  too,  a  good  wife  added  to  the 
combination  during  the  year  has  been 
an  inspiration. 

Joseph  J.  Fenrich,  the  youngest  and 
liveliest  of  the  wholesalers,  handles  not 
only  Schultheis'  prize  stuff,  but  Totty's 
Eichmonds,  white  violets  and  about 
every  variety  of  cut  flower  yet  discov- 
ered. Mrs.  Fenrich  is  a  daughter  of  the 
veteran  Le  Moult,  of  the  Bowery,  and 
the  boy  will  take  first  prize  at  the  out- 
ing this  year  unless  all  signs  fail,  for  he 
is  a  ' '  physical  culture  baby. ' ' 

A.  M.  Henshaw  finds  the  square  deal 
and  square  dealing  excellent  foundation 
stones  for  the  rearing  of  a  structure 
that  grows  higher  and  broader  daily. 
He  has  had  a  most  satisfactory  year 
and  no  finer  roses  come  to  the  city  than 
those  he  handles. 

The  Kervan  Co.  has  an  abundance  of 
southern  supplies  of  all  kinds  for  Easter ; 
so  have  George  Cotsonas  &  Co.,  includ- 
ing especially  fancy  ferns,  galax  and 
leucothoe. 

N.  Lecakes  &  Co.,  in  addition  to  all 
varieties  of  green  goods,  have  a  cut 
flower  department  managed  by  John 
Foley  that  has  grown  to  good  propor- 
tions since  last  Easter.  The  head  of  the 
house,  Nicholas  Lecakes,  celebrated  last 
week  the  arrival  of  his  second  boy. 

Eussin  &  Hanfling,  the  basket  manu- 
facturers and  supply  men,  had  a  splen- 
did year  and  a  big  Easter  trade.  They 
are  greatly  encouraged  by  the  growth 
of  their  business. 

The  Geller  Co.  finds  its  big  store  just 
what  was  needed  for  Easter  and  wonders 
now  how  it  ever  managed  without  it. 
Mr.  Geller  will  soon  be  off  for  Europe 
to  select  his  stock  for  the  coming  season. 

A.  L.  Young  &  Co.  are  among  the 
optimists,  having  doubled  their  busi- 
ness and  the  size  and'  conveniences  of 
their  handy  store.  Personality  is  a  de- 
sideratum in  progress,  and  courtesy  and 
consideration  for  others  are  a  sure  step- 
ping-stone to  advancement  and  esteem. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  New  York 
Florists'  Club,  early  in  April,  will  be 
ladies'  night.  It  will  be  doubly  inter- 
esting because  of  Easter  and  its  memo- 
ries. A  splendid  program  will  be  pro- 
vided. 

May  the  Easter  of  1907  be  to  all  a 
source  of  profit,  hope  and  happiness  and 
the  grandest  Easter  in  the  experience 
of  every  florist  on  the  continent.

KUYK'S  INVENTIONS. 

Wm.  Kuyk,  of  Kuyk  Bros.,  growers 
of  bulbs,  etc.,  at  Hillegom,  Holland,  is 
in  Paris  and  writes:  "I  am  establish- 
ing here  a  large  house  for  the  manufac- 
turing of  an  invention  of  mine  which  is 
patented  in  Europe  and  in  America.  I 
am  going  to  make  arrangements  to  send 
it  from  Paris  all  over  the  world,  and 
surely  it  will  be  a  practical  thing  also 
for  America. 

"It  is  a  new  tie  of  metal  which  will 
be  called  the  Ideal  Quick  Tie.  Every 
nurseryman  to  whom  I  have  showed  this 
tie  in  different  countries,  England, 
France,  Germany,  Belgium  and  Holland, 
has  said  to  me:  'This  is  a  real  gem.' 
It  is  so  extremely  simple  and  can  be 
supplied  for  such  a  low  price  that  it 
is  wonderful.  Of  course,  it  must  be 
made  on  a  large  scale  and  the  metal  is 
made  specially  and  is  colored  olive 
green.  People  say:  'Well,  even  when 
they  will  supply  raflSa  for  nothing,  raf- 
fia will  be  much  too  dear,  as  one  will 
save  much  time  with  it.' 

"Besides  this  invention,  I  have  in- 
vented and  patented  in  Europe  and  I 
am  busy  to  do  so  also  for  America,  a 
new  system  of  flower  pot  which  has 
proved  to  be  something  fine.  Under  ex- 
actly the  same  conditions,  bulbs  of 
hyacinths  planted  in.  my  pots  and  plant- 
ed in  the  old  pots,  in  my  pots  were  in 
flower  a  fortnight  earlier.  I  have  given 
my  pots  to  several  nurserymen  in  Eu- 
rope for  trial  for  different  cultures.  I 
think  I  will  give  this  thing  my  name, 
calling  them  Kuyk's  pots.  It  takes  up 
only  one-third  of  the  room  as  other  pots 
and  if  only  for  this  reason,  it  is,  as 
you  will  understand,  a  great  advance."

TOMATOES. 


Watering  and  Feeding. 

Tomatoes  are  growing  apace  now  and 
need  an  abundance  of  water,  especially 
plants  that  have  been  bearing  for  some 
time  and  have  their  root  space  Avell  oc- 
cupied. Between  the  amount  of  water 
that  the  plants  utilize  and  the  drying 
atmosphere,  it  will  often  be  necessary 
to  give  water  several  times  a  day,  but 
it  pays  to  give  them  this  attention  as  it 
keeps  the  plants  growing  freely  and 
keeps  the  fruit  swelling.  If  neglected 
in  the  matter  of  water  now  the  fruit 
ripens  up  under  size  and  amounts  to  but 
little  when  sent  to  market. 

Feeding  is  also  of  considerable  assist- 
ance in  the  swelling  of  the  fruit.  For 
crops  nearly  over,  perhaps  the  best  feed- 
ing to  use  is  nitrate  of  soda,  as  this  is 
quick  acting  and  is  quickly  utilized  by 
the  plants.  But  for  crops  less  advanced, 
I  believe  better  results  can  be  obtained 
by  using  liquid  made  from  sheep  ma- 
nure. The  best  way  to  prepare  this  is 
to  put  about  half  a  bag  of  the  manure 
in  a  barrel  of  water,  letting  the  sub- 
stance soak  out  through  the  .bag.  This 
keeps  it  free  from  sediment  and  avoids 
the  clogging  of  the  soil.  It  only  re- 
quires to  stand  over  night  to  make  the 
liquid  strong  enough  to  use.  If  the  ma- 
nure is  good,  it  will  be  too  strong  to  use 
then  without  diluting  for  the  first  water- 
ing or  two,  but  after  that  it  can  be  used 
as  it  comes. 

For  the  purpose  of  making  liquid  ma- 
nure, I  prefer  the  manure  in  its  unpul- 
verized  state,  as  it  contains  much  more 
substance  than  the  pulverized  article 
usually  does.  The  drying  out  of  the 
manure  necessary  to  pulverizing  seems  to 
evaporate  a  good  deal  of  the  strength; 
besides,  when  you  buy  the  pure  article 
you  see  what  you  are  getting  and  are 
not  paying  for  a  combination  of  manure 
and  cut  hay. 

Feeding  with  sheep  manure  will  bring 
the  roots  to  the  surface  of  the  soil. 
"We  have  often  seen  them  come  up  so 
plentifully  as  to  necessitate  a  covering 
of  soil.  Any  ordinary  soil  will  do  for 
covering,  but  it  should  not  be  of  too 
stiff  a  nature  or  it  will  bake  and  cause 
a  hard  crust  on  the  surface.  If  the  sur- 
face could  always  be  kept  damp  the 
covering  would  not  be  necessary;  but, 
as  this  cannot  always  be  done,  the  saf- 
est plan  to  avoid  losing  the  working 
roots  is  to  keep  them  lightly  covered 
according  as  occasion  requires. 

The  matter  of  setting  will  cause  little 
worry  now,  as  the  bright  sunshine  and 
dry  atmosphere  will  leave  the  pollen 
easily  distributed,  even  by  the  circula- 
tion of  air  in  the  house,  and  insect  life 
being  kept  moving  around  more  lively, 
can  be  counted  on  to  give  considerable 
assistance.

time  to  come,  as  the  night  temperature 
is  apt  to  fluctuate  considerably.  Some 
nights  little  or  no  fire  heat  will  be 
needed,  but  on  others  the  fires  will  have 
to  be  kept  moving  to  maintain  the 
proper  temperature.  Through  the  day 
they  can  be  left  as  near  a  standstill  as 
possible,  but  they  should  be  kept  so  that 
they  will  be  ready  to  respond  when  the 
weather  indicates  a  necessity  to  have 
them  going.  Firing  is  a  study  by  itself, 
as  by  judicious  handling,  proper  service 
can  be  given  when  needed,  and  when  not 
needed  money  can  be  saved  by  saving 
the  coals.  The  fireman  who  will  do 
some  thinking  and  handle  his  fires  ju- 
diciously can  save  his  employer  a  good 
deal  in   fuel  in  the  course  of  a   season.

Vlce-Pres.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo,  O.;  Sec'y  and 
TresB.,  C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland.  The  25th  annual 
meetlnjr  will  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  laOT 


Tuberose  and  caladium  bulbs  are 
scarce. 

Visited  Chicago:  H.  W.  Buckbee, 
Eockford,  111. 

Sweet  corn,  especially  the  later  can- 
ners'  sorts,  seems  to  be  overplentiful  at 
present. 

Mail  and  telegraph  service  is  badly 
disorganized  in  California  on  account 
of  floods  in  the  Sacramento  river. 

The  onion  set  acreage  will  be  in- 
creased instead  of  being  diminished, 
judging  from  present  indications. 

If  the  weather  holds  as  at  present  in 
the  seed  pea  growing  regions,  unusually 
early  planting  will  take  place  this  year. 

The  rush  is  for  seeds  for  pickles  just 
now,  but  White  Portugal  onion  will  have 
an  inning  before  the  close  of  the  season. 

Seeding  for  the  coming  year's  crop 
of  onion  sets  has  commenced  at  Chicago 
and  a  strong  demand  for  seed  has  de- 
veloped. 

There  were  269  bags  of  garden  seeds 
on  steamer  United  States,  which  saiieu 
from  New  York  for  Copenhagen 
March  lb. 

The  remaining  stock  and  the  plant  of 
the  Thompson  Seed  Co.,  Albert  Lea, 
Minn.,  were  sold  at  auction  March  23  and 
the  business  wound  up. 

Standard  varieties  of  carrot,  radish, 
beets  and  many  other  seeds  are  hard  to 
get  hold  of,  notwithstanding  the  many 
surplus  offers  that  are  floating  around. 

Apparently  there  is  no  surplus  of  the 
cafiners '  varieties  of  peas.  Another  spurt 
is  expected  in  this  department  of  the 
seed  trade  when  things  adjust  them- 
selves. 

It  is  surprising  to  note  what  a  num- 
ber and  variety  of  stores  in  small  towns 
are  handling  seeds  in  considerable  quan- 
tity this  season,  pushing  the  business  by 
means  of  local  advertising. 

The  far  east  is  offering  a  small  sur- 
plus of  seed  of  the  Globe  varieties  of 
onion.  No  cut  in  price  is  being  made 
and  this  is  taken  as  an  indication  that 
everything  is  well  cleaned  up. 

The  tomato  is  one  of  the  important 
crops  of  Maryland  and  the  Maryland 
Agricultural  Experiment  Station  has  de- 
scribed experiments  in  tomato  growing  in 
a  booklet,  just  out,  which  will  interest 
every  seedsman. 

Summer-like  weather  at  Chicago  has 
livened  things  during  the  past  week. 
Counter  trade  is  reported  far  ahead  of 
last  year  at  this  date  and  the  market 
gardeners'  seed  and  jobbing  trades  have 
beaten  all  records  for  March. 

Onion  sets  advanced  as  much  as  75 
cents  per  bushel  in  less  than  two  hours 
during  Monday  of  this  week.  The  sup- 
ply is  short,  the  demand  strong  and  all 
colors  going  readily  at  $3  per  bushel.  It 
was  feared  that  the  end-up  of  the  sea- 
son would  show  a  sharp  decline  in  prices, 
but  the  unusual  call  has  put  that  con- 
tingency outside  the  possibilities.

other  places.  The  Cox  Seed  Co.  was  one 
of  the  oldest  concerns  on  the  coast  and 
did  a  large  general  horticultural  trade 
in  addition  to  its  seed  business.  C.  C. 
Morse  &  Co.  have  only  been  in  San 
Francisco  two  years,  having  taken  over 
the  business  of  the  late  E.  J.  Bowen. 
Previously  they  had  confined  themselves 
to  the  growing  of  seeds  for  the  trade,  at 
Santa  Clara  and  vicinity. 

It  is  reported  that  the  committee  on 
legislation  of  the  American  Seed  Trade 
Association  has  received  intimations 
from  friendly  members  of  congress  that 
the  best  way  to  head  off  other  legislation 
at  the  next  session  will  be  to  have  intro- 
duced a  bill  of  their  own  preparation, 
which  will  of  course  safeguard  the  in- 
terests of  both  planters  and  seedsmen 
and  therefore  be  acceptable  to  congress. 

WEATHER  AND  TRADE. 

No  matter  what  the  final  records  show 
as  to  the  aggregate  of  sales,  the  season 
of  1907  is  likely  to  go  down  in  history 
as  the  most  strenuous  the  seed  trade 
ever  has  known.  Spring  came  all  at 
once.  It  was  the  exceptional  house  that 
did  as  much  up  to  the  middle  of  March 
as  was  done  up  to  that  date  in  1906. 
This  is  particularly  true  of  eastern 
houses,  for  winter  lingered  in  the  lap 
of  spring,  particularly  in  New  England, 
until  ousted  of  a  sudden  by  Old  Sol  and 
almost  midsummer  temperatures.  Sum- 
mer came  to  the  southwest  ten  days  ago, 
and  in  the  last  week  new  records  have 
been  made  at  almost  every  weather  ob- 
servatory from  the  Eockies  to  the  At- 
lantic. Summer  temperatures  have  been 
general.  The  result  was  a  deluge  of 
belated  mail  orders,  the  season  bursting 
into  full  bloom  almost  in  a  day.  Night 
work  has  been  general  for  a  week.  It 
is  the  common  report  that  the  number  of 
mail  orders  received  on  Monday,  March 
25,  broke  all  records.  Not  only  are  the 
mail  order  departments  working  at  high- 
est pressure,  but  counter  trade  is  on  in 
full  force  and  seed  stores  are  crowded 
beyond  the  possibility  of  satisfactory 
service  to  all.  The  seedsman  loses,  as 
well  as  the  customer,  when  the  rush  is 
too  great  to  be  handled  with  care — and 
the  worst  of  it  is  practically  every  cus- 
tomer might  have  bought  before  the 
rush  but  for  that  trait  of  human  nature 
which  causes  us  all  to  put  everything 
off  till  the  last  moment.  Wholesalers 
and  jobbers  are  driven  with  reorders 
from  the  ever-increasing  army  of  coun- 
try retailers  of  seeds. 

The  worst  feature  is  that  it  will  be 
a  short  season  if  the  weather  continues 
so  much  warmer  than  normal.

NEW  ILLINOIS  FACTORY  LAW. 

The  following  account  is  from  a  local 
newspaper  at  Merner,  111.,  near  Bloom- 
ington,  and  is  of  interest  in  relation  to 
the  factory  law  now  pending  in  the  state 
legislature : 

Last  Friday  evening,  while  at  work  at  the 
Funk  Bros.'  seed  house  and  elevator  lu  the 
Grove.  William  Lain  met  with  quite  a  painful 
accident.  A  belt  In  the  machinery  slipped,  and 
In  tr.vlng  to  adjust  It  he  was  caught  an<l 
thrown     among     the    rapidly     revolving     wheels.

but  fortunately  escaped  with  one  broken  bone 
of  the  left  arm  near  the  wrist  Joint.  The  belt 
or  some  part  of  the  machinery  also  made  a 
clean  cut  around  the  arm  Just  at  the  fracture, 
but  not  severing  any  artery  or  tendon.  The 
wound  required  a  dozen  or  more  stitches  to 
close  it. 

The  factory  law  now  pending  would 
make  it  obligatory  that  the  owner  imme- 
diately report  such  an  accident,  with  all 
the  circumstances,  to  the  state  factory 
inspector,  where  it  would  be  a  matter 
of  public  record.  Employers  consider 
that  the  result  of  the  bill,  if  it  becomes 
a  law,  will  be  to  largely  increase  the 
number  of  damage  suits.

BEST  VARIETY  OF  MUSA. 

Will  you  please  tell  me  the  best  kind 
of  Musa  Ensete,  or  Abyssinian  banana 
plant,  to  grow  outdoors  f  Can  they  be 
taken  out  of  the  tub  or  pot  and  planted 
in  the  open  ground?  How  shall  we  treat 
them  to  make  fast  growth?  Is  it  good 
to  take  off  all  the  soil  and  repot  in 
new,  rich  soil  now?  Would  it  be  all 
right  to  store  them  in  the  cellar  over 
winter  at  about  40  degrees?  How  soon 
had  they  better  be  started?  We  have 
had  them  in  large  wooden  tubs  for 
years  and  there  is  nothing  doing  with 
them.  A.  B. 


The  Abyssinian  banana,  Musa  Ensete, 
is  much  the  best  of  the  genus  for  dec- 
orative purposes.  Plants  taken  from 
tubs  and  pots  and  planted  outdoors  in 
well  enriched  ground  will  make  splen- 
did growth.  They  should  be  given  a  sit- 
uation protected  as  much  as  possible, 
free  from  high  winds,  which  soon  lacer- 
ate the  handsome  leaves.  Plants  car- 
ried over  winter,  if  repotted  or  re- 
tubbed  now  in  rich  compost  and  placed 
in  a  warm  greenhouse,  will  grow  away 
quickly.  The  plants  are  best  wintered 
in  a  house  which  does  not  fall  below  50 
to, 55  degrees  at  night.  They  can,  how- 
ever, be  kept  in  any  frost-proof  cellar, 
but  in  such  a  location  would  inevitably 
lose  all  their  foliage.  Some  growers 
also  aaopt  the  plan  of  storing  the  thick, 
fleshy  roots  in  dry  sand  over  winter  and 
t^e  tops  of  plants  cut  back.  If  placed 
in  a  genial  heat  in  spring  and  given 
moisture  they  will  soon  start  to  grow. 
Such  plants,  however,  cannot  be  ex- 
pected to  fruit. 

The  easiest  to  grow  and  hardiest  of 
the  fruiting  bananas  is  Musa  Caven- 
dishii,  commonly  known  as  the  dwarf 
Chinese  banana.  If,  however,  fruiting 
is  desired,  the  plants  should  be  lifted 
before  frosts  come,  placed  in  large  tubs 
and  kept  in  a  warm  greenhouse  until 
planting  out  time  comes  around   again.

TROUBLE  VITH  SWEET  PEAS. 

I  mail  you  a  few  roots  of  sweet  peas. 
The  plants  in  the  house,  22x100,  grow 
up  to  about  two  feet.  Then  I  notice 
that  they  do  not  do  as  well.  They  are 
starting  to  turn  yellow  a  little  on  the 
bottom  now.  The  house  has  been  kept 
at  45  to  48  degrees  at  night,  50  degrees 
in  daytime.  As  you  will  notice,  there 
are  little  white  bugs  on  the  roots  some- 
thing like  the  miller  bug.  Could  you 
please  tell  me  what  I  can  do  to  improve 
them?  I  have  been  growing  sweet  peas 
in  the  same  house  for  four  seasons  with 
good  results.  For  feeding  I  use  rotted

mums  were  cut  I  spread  some  bone  dust 
in  the  bed.  A.  V.  B. 


From  the  appearance  of  the  shoots 
enclosed  we  think  the  vines  have  been 
too  thick  in  the  rows.  For  best  results 
they  should  be  in  a  narrow  row  and  two 
or  three  inches  between  each  plant.  This 
will  cause  stronger  haulms  and  the 
flower  stalks  will  have  greater  vigor  and 
carry  an  average  of  three  flowers  each. 
The  manuring  and  other  details  appear 
to  have  been  carried  out  all  right  and 
sweet  peas  ought  to  do  well  under  just 
such  soil  conditions.  A  temperature  of 
50  degrees  at  night  should  be  main- 
tained after  the  flowers  appear,  with  a 
rise  of  10  or  15  degrees  during  the  day. 

We  failed  to  note  any  of  the  "bugs" 
on  the  roots.  Probably,  however,  it  is 
the  same  pest  which  frequently  attacks 
China  asters  in  the  fields.  We  would 
advise  mulching  the  rows  well  with  fresh 
tobacco  stems.  The  juice  washed  down 
during    watering    is    distasteful'   to    the

Qub  Exhibition. 

The  Scranton  Florists'  Club  recently 
held  a  very  successful  exhibition  in 
Guernsey  hjill.  No  admission  fee  was 
charged  and  the  public  attended  in  large 
numbers.  The  local  papers  also  devoted 
much  space  to  the  show. 

There  were  a  number  of  out-of-town 
exhibitors,  including  the  Chicago  Car- 
nation Co.,  Joliet,  111.;  C.  W.  Ward,  of 
Queens,  N.  Y.;  John  E.  Haines,  Bethle- 
hem, Pa.;  Samuel  S.  Pennock,  Philadel-

&  Son,  Adrian,  Mich.;  F.  R.  Pierson  Co., 
Tarrytown,  N.  Y.;  Paul  Niehoff,  Le- 
highton,  Pa.,  who  showed  a  fine  lot  of 
Aurora  roses. 

Among  the  local  exhibitors  were  T.  B. 
McClintock,  G.  R.  Clark,  Schultheis  & 
Co.,  Marvin  k  Mnir,  William  McDonald,

Clark,  gardener  to  Mrs,  H.  M.  Boies; 
Fred  Hatch  and  John  Hill,  gardeners 
to  T.  H.  Watkins. 

Among  the  special  exhibits  worthy  of 
note  were  a  handsome  mantel  decora- 
tion, thfi  exhibit  of  Schultheis  &  Co., 
and  another  mantel  decoration  by  T.  B. 
McClintock.  G.  R.  Clark  had  a  table 
decoration  set  with  handsome  china. 
Near  the  entrance  the  Scranton  Flo- 
rists' Supply  Co.  had  an  exhibition  of 
baskets,  ribbons  and  other  supplies. 

The  club  has  monthly  exhibitions  and 
at  the  end  of  the  season  will  award  a 
silver  cup  to  the  member  scoring  the 
highest  aggregate  number  of  points. 

For  this  purpose  a  standing  board  of 
six  judges  has  been  appointed,  whose 
duty  it  is  to  pass  upon  the  exhibit  of 
each   month.      The   judges   are   William

The  Market 

The  weather  has  been  fine;  in  fact, 
too  warm,  90  degrees  in  the  shade  being 
remarkable  for  this  time  of  the  year. 
Business  among  the  retailers  was  only 
fair:  funeral  work  and  a  great  many 
decorations  of  plants  for  spring  open- 
ings of  downtown  stores.  This  week  not 
much  is  looked  for  until  the  last  two 
days  before  Easter. 

There  has  been  and  still  is  an  over- 
supply  of  cut  flowers  in  this  market. 
This  applies  to  roses  and  carnations  es- 
pecially, there  being  an  actual  glut  of 
these.     This  also  applies  to  almost  every

Mabch  28,  1007. 


day  of  last  week  and  prices  can  hardly 
be  quoted  correctly,  as  everything  was 
in  larger  supply  than  could  be  disposed 
of  in  the  regular  channels  of  trade. 
There  is  a  good  deal  of  speculation  as 
to  the  Easter  supply  and  prices.  The 
chances  are  that  the  large  supply  will 
keep  up  and  hold  prices  low. 

As  to  lilies,  there  were  plenty  of 
Harrisii,  longiflorums  and  callas  in  the 
market  Monday,  All  bulbous  stock  has 
been  a  glut.  Tulips,  Von  Sions,  Dutch 
hyacinths  and  Bomans  went  to  waste. 
The  hot  weather  has  brought  out  loads 
of  violets,  which  sold  aa  low  as  $1  per 
thousand,  and  it  looks  now  as  if  they 
will  be  scarce  for  Easter. 

Blooming  plants  of  all  kinds  are  sell- 
ing well.  The  quality  is  fine  and  a 
great  many  orders  have  been  placed  for 
Saturday  and  Sunday  delivery. 

Variotu  Notes. 

Mrs.  M.  S.  Vesey,  of  Port  Wayne, 
Ind.,  was  a  visitor  last  week,  looking 
after  the  firm's  Easter  business. 

C.  Young  &  Sons  Co.  put  in  a  busy 
week  in  the  seed  and  plant  department. 

C.  L.  Bronson,  of  Paducah,  Ky.,  spent 
Saturday  visiting  the  local  trade. 

The  stands  in  Union  Market  are  alive 
with  blooming  plants  and  good  trade 
is  reported. 

Our  seedsmen  all  have  extra  help  in 
their  stores  and  are  working  overtime  to 
supply  the  demand. 

Fred  C.  Weber  had  a  pretty  window 
display  last  week,  all  yellow,  and  it 
was  "worth  its  weight  in  gold"  as  an 
advertisement. 

C.  A.  Kuehn  is  handling  an  extra  fine 
lot  of  potted  Liilium  longiflorum.  The 
largest  portion  of  them  was  labeled  sold. 

W.  C.  Smith  &  Co.  had  a  house  full  of 
Boston  ferns  in  all  sizes  last  week.  The 
two  "Bills"  are  disposing  of  them  fast 
to  the  local  trade. 

E.  W.  Guy,  of  Belleville,  was  over 
March  22  to  watch  his  team  of  bowlers 
in  the  congress  tournament.  Mr.  Guy 
ia  a  great  bowling  fan. 

Eafcter  trade  will  be  the  subject  for 
discussion  at  the  next  Florists'  Club 
meeting.  The  rose  show  for  this  meet- 
ing promises  to  be  large  and  attractive. 

Henry  Berning's  shipping  trade  was 
quite  good  last  week.  Stock  of  all  kinds 
was    abundant. 

R.  A.  McPheron,  of  the  Cottage 
Greenhouses,  Litchfield^  111.,  was  here 
March  23  buying  supplies  for  Easter 
trade. 

J.  H.  Stevens,  the  Chicago  florist 
bowler,  did  not  stay  as  long  as  he  first 
intended.  He  says  the  place  and  the 
weather  were  too  hot  for  him  and  left 
for  home  after  the  third  day. 

Angermueller 's  place  was  hardly  large 
enough  to  hold  the  stock  that  came  in 
last  week.     Everything  was  plentiful. 

The  Pfeiffer-Newman  wedding  decora- 
tion last  week,  furnished  by  the  Tovvti- 
send  Floral  Co.,  must  have  been  the 
largest  ever  furnished  in  this  city.  To 
get  the  flowers  needed  is  said  to  have 
exhausted  the  supply  of  all  the  loenl 
wholesalers,  as  well  as  calling  for  many 
from  Chicago  and  other  places.

DETROIT. 

The  Market 

The  last  week  has  been  an  extremely 
busy  one  for  the  florists.  There  is  little 
of  note  going  on  among  society  people, 
but,  with  a  large  amount  of  funer^ 
work  to  fill  in  between  church  and  store 
decorating,  all  hands  were  kept  out  of 
mischief. 

Roses  remain  well  cleaned  up;  white 
carnations  also.  Colored  stock  is  some- 
what overplennful  at  the  present  writ- 
ing. The  same  can  be  said  about  tu- 
lips and  daffodils. ,  Lilies  are  none  too 
plentiful.  Easter  prices  went  into  ef- 
fect Mftrch  25.  Roses  range  from  $6  to 
$15  per  hundred;  carnations,  from  $3 
to  $5  per  hundred;  lilies,  $15  per  hun- 
dred; valley,  $2  to  $4.50  per  hundred. 

The  outlook  is  good  for  a  record- 
breaking  Easter  business. 

B.  Schroeter  furnished  the  Michigan 
Cut  Flower  Exchange  with  over  500 
lilies.  Aside  from  lilies,  other  blooming 
plants  seem  plentiful.  Most  of  the  grow- 
ers have  found  it  hard  to  keep  the 
stock  back,  as  a  stretch  of  unseason- 
ably warm  weather  last  week  brought 
it  along  too  fast. 

QubMectiii£. 

An  unusually  large  number  of  mem- 
bers were  present  at  the  Detroit  Florists' 
Club's  last  meeting,  held  March  20.  It 
would  be  unfair  to  say  that  a  fine  lunch 
and  cigars  provided  by  the  club  served 
as  a  drawing  card,  as  this  had  not  been 
previously  announced. 

Although  an  exhibition  of  Easter  stock 
had  been  expected,  there  was  but  little 
on  exhibition.  A  collection  of  primulas 
and  exceptionally  fine  Spiraea  Glad- 
stone, shown  by  Fred  Miesel,  excited 
much  comment.  Philip  Breitmeyer,  vice- 
president-elect  of  the  American  Rose 
Society,  held  the  floor  for  a  consider- 
able time  with  an  interesting  review  of 
his  recent  eastern  trip.  Among  other 
things  he  stated  that  nowhere  did  he 
see  a  better  grown  lot  of  blooming 
plants  than  those  grown  in  Detroit; 
Lilies  seem  scarce  everywhere. 

J.  F.  Sullivan  and  Robert  Unger  have 
promised  to  favor  the  club  with  papers 
on  interesting  subjects  the  evening  of 
the  next  regular  meeting,  April  3.  Mr. 
Unger 's  paper  will  be  on  "Plant  Bed- 
ding and  Bedding  Stock."

This  is  the  substance  of  a  notice  that 
a  large  New  York  florist  is  sending  to  all 
his  customers.  He  has  several  telephones 
in  his  store  and  caters  to  telephone  trade. 

If  you  haven't  a  telephone,  order  one 
now  before  the  Easter  rush  begins. 

It  pays  others,  it  will  pay  you.

Various  Notes. 

Between  $500  and  $600  has  so  far 
been  subscribed  to  the  guarantee  fund 
for  the  national  flower  show  by  members 
of  the  Detroit  Florists'  Club  and,  with 
the  list  swelling  daily,  it  is  expected 
that  the  thousand-doUar  mark  will  be 
reached  ere  long.  This  should  serve  as 
an  incentive  to  clubs  in  other  cities. 

A  destructive  fire  visited  the  store 
of  the  Lachman  Floral  Co.,  George  Lead- 
ly,  manager,  Friday  night,  March  22. 
The  stock  of  plants,  ribbons,  etc.,  was 
destroyed,  either  by  fire  or  smoke.  Up 
to  present  writing  no  attempt  has  been 
made  to  resume  business. 

Schroeter 's  decorating  department  was 
kept  on  the  jump  last  week.  Besides 
several  smaller  decorations,  this  firm 
again  had  charge  of  the  spring  opening 
decorations  for  our  largest,  as  well  as 
finest,  dry-goods  house.  About  1,000 
Beauties,  roses,  lilies  and  carnations, 
supplied   by   S.    S.   Pennock-Meehan    Co. 


and  Bassett  &  Washburn,  were  used; 
also  about  seventy-five  Ijaskets,  made  up 
of  a  variety  of  blooming  plants.  Three 
vanloads  of  palms,  azaleas,  lilacs,  rhodo- 
dendrons, etc.,  were  also  used. 

From  thirty  per  cent  to  fifty  per  cent 
of  all  the  lilies  planted  in  this  vicinity 
are  a  loss. 

The  Bemb  Floral  Co. 's  driver  came 
forth  with  a  stunning  uniform  last  week. 
Business  must  be  good. 

Ed  Beard,  his  wife,  and  their  gasoline 
wagon  got  stuck  in  the  mud  out  on 
West  Fort  street  last  Sunday,  and  right 
on  the  car  track,  too.  It  was  an  easy 
matter  for  Ed  to  transfer  his  wife  to 
the  sidewalk,  but  it  remained  for  a  street 
car  to  push  Mr.  Auto  out  of   the  mud. 

H.  S. 


Pierre,  S.  D. — As  soon  as  weather  is 
more  settled  Enoe  &  Barney  will  build 
an  addition  to  their  greenhouse.  The 
new  building  will  be  30x90  feet.

PACIFIC  COAST. 


Los  Angeles,  Cal. — A  big  flower  show 
is  being  planned  by  the  Southern  Cali- 
fornia Horticultural  Society  for  this  city 
for  the  week  beginning  May  1.  This 
will  be  at  the  time  of  the  conclave  of 
the    Mystic    Shriners. 


PORTLAND,  ORE. 


Current  G)mment. 

While  the  forces  at  the  stores  are 
easily  disposing  of  all  available  stock, 
the  proprietors  are  preparing  for  what 
we  hope  later  to  declare  the  greatest 
Easter  on  record.  We  have  not  been 
able  to  do  much  "rubbering,"  but  from 
the  fine  potted  samples  on  display  this 
week  we  are  convinced  that  the  growers 
are  on  an  enforced  "March"  and  are 
apt  to  fool  all  of  us  before  April  1. 

Our  window  attractions  of  late  have 
been  of  much  interest  to  the  public,  and 
originality  and  novelty  are  the  cause  of 
much  comment.  Neatness  and  skill  are 
always  commendable  and  as  an  incentive 
to  these  attributes  a  prize  was  offered 
to  the  merchants  in  general  by  the 
Hibernian  bank  for  the  best  display  em- 
blematic of  St.  Patrick's  day.  This  was 
won  by  Clarke  Bros.,  who  showed  the 
genuine  shamrock  growing  in  small  pots 
and  various  bark  arrangements.  An 
amusing  incident  occurred  when  an  old 
rancher  came  into  the  store  to  price 
them  and  when  told  that  the  small  pots 
sold  for  25  cents  each,  exclaimed: 
"Gosh,  durn!  You  fellers  must  be  mak- 
ing a  pile  of  money  down  here.  All  last 
summer  my  farm  was  kivered  with  that 
stuff.  We  call  it  sheep  sorrel  up  thar." 
The  trimmings  were  green  and  there 
were  green  carnations;  in  fact,  every- 
thing was  green,  including  the  prize 
money,  which  was  paid  in  greenbacks. 

Expansion  seems  to  be  the  ambition 
of  all  this  spring.  William  Martin 
(formerly  Martin  &  Forbes)  tells  us  he 
is  planning  for  three  new  houses. 

Morton  &  Son,  who  located  at  Hills- 
boro  last  year,  need  more  room  for  the 
growth  of  a  healthy  trade  and  will  add 
two  new  houses. 

Martin  Beukauf,  of  Bayersdorf er 's, 
Philadelphia,  was  here  last  week  and 
filled  us  up  with  new  ideas  which  we 
wiH  make  practical  use  of  at  Easter. 
And  then  eatme  Arnold  Ringier,  of  the 
Barnard  Co.,  Chicago,  much  delayed  on 
account  of  washouts  between  here  and 
PYisco.  We  cannot  imagine  two  more 
conscientious  workers  than  these  two 
gentlemen,  always  interesting  and  ready 
for  business.  They  confirm  all  previous 
reports  of  a  splendid  trade  along  the 
c»ast.  H.  J.  M.- 


SAN FRANOSOa 


The  Market 


Incessant  rain  for  the  last  week  has 
put  a  damper  on  everything  in  this  vi- 
cinity. The  total  rainfall  for  the  sea- 
son is  twenty-three  inches,  against  sev- 
enteen and  one-half  inches  a  year  ago, 
and  the  end  is  not  yet.  This,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  fact  that  Lent  still  contin- 
ues, gives  the  dealers  but  little  to  be 
thankful  for  at  this  time.  The  retail 
stores  are  piled  high  with  everything  in 
the  flower  line  and,  although  the  whole- 
salers  and    growers    have    but    a   small

In  vitality  as  to  be  beyond  comparison.  We  are

our  seed  picked.  It  is  later  tban  usual  this  year, 
owing  to  long,  continued  cold  rain,  but  tbe  seed

amount  of  stock  to  cut,  owing  to  the 
continued  dark  weather,  there  is  still 
more  than  enough  to  go  around. 

There  is  the  usual  scarcity,  however, 
of  fancy  Beauties,  but  with  other  roses 
and  all  varieties  of  carnations,  there  is 
an  abundance.  Bulbous  stock  is  at  a 
standstill.  Valley  is  to  be  had  at  a 
lower  price  than  I  have  seen  it  in  many 
years.  Easter  lilies  hold  their  own, 
however,  and,  unless  we  have  an  im- 
provement in  weather  in  a  few  days, 
there  may  be  less  on  hand  than  the  in- 
terested parties  anticipate.  They  are 
being  sold  by  the  growers  at  from  $2 
to  $3  per  dozen  for  cut  stems  and  pot- 
ted lilies  at  from  $6  to  $9  per  dozen. 

Violets  are  plentiful,  but  they  are  get- 
ting weak  of  stem  and  light  in  color  and 
they  will  soon  end  when  the  weather  be- 
comes warmer. 

Green  stock,  with  the  exception  of 
smilax,  is  abundant,  and  the  weather 
favors  everything  in  that  line. 

Business  in  all  the  bay  cities  is  prac- 
tically at  a  standstill  at  present. 

Various  Notts. 

F.  Heim,  superintendent  of  the  Uni- 
versity Nurseries,  will  plant  half  a  mil- 
lion young  redwood  trees  in  the  hills 
back  of  Berkeley.  The  trees  are  from 
the  state  forest  preserves  in  Mendocino 
county.

estate,  at  Menlo  Park,  is  making  prepa- 
rations to  lay  out  a  200-acre  park  this

PROnT  ON  BULB  STOCK. 

This  season  is  what  might  be  temled 
an  off  year  for  bulbs  and,  although  the 
crop  of  flowers  is  not  yet  entirely  har- 
vested, the  bulb  season  in  the  vicinity 
of  San  Francisco  is  near  enough  to  the 
end  to  recapitulate.  I  eliminate  Easter 
lilies  from  the  list,  as  it  is  yet  a  little 
too  soon  to  figure  out  profits  on  them. 

First  in  importance  are  the  Paper 
White  narcissi.  These  have  not  been 
an  especially  paying  crop,  nor  were  any 
of  the  daffodil  family,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  Ard  Reigh,  which  netted  the 
growers  $5  per  hundred,  and  at  the 
present  time  Emperor  is  paying  well  at 
$2.50  per  hundred.  These  are  the  larg- 
est prices  realized,  however,  on  these 
articles,  and  for  the  ordinary  sorts,  flow- 
ering in  between,  not  over  from  50  cents 
to  $1  per  hundred  was  received.  These 
prices,  of  course,  do  not  pay  for  the 
trouble  of  growing  and  handling,  but 
they  give  the  correct  estimate  of  the 
paying  quality  of  these  flowers.     Many

growers  have  thrown  their  bulbs  out  and 
planted  the  grounds  to  something  more 
profitable.  Probably,  after  a  few  hun- 
dred thousands  of  bulbs  are  sacrificed  in 
this  way,  good  prices  may  be  had  for 
the  balance. 

The  same  fault  can  be  found  with 
Paper  Whites.  Only  those  that  were 
artificially  watered  early  in  the  fall  and 
came  into  bloom  during  November  and 
December  made  money  for  the  growers. 
Those  that  came  on  at  the  height  of  the 
season  were  a  loss  to  the  bulb  planter, 
as  not  over  $5  per  thousand  was  paid 
by  the  retailers,  on  the  average. 

Valley  has  been  a  fair  crop  for  the 
last  season  and,  although  the  prices  have 
not  been  high  at  any  time  since  Christ- 
mas week,  there  has  been  a  steady  de- 
ma,ud.  At  the  present  writing  the  grow- 
ers   receive    $4    per    hundred. 

I  am  inclined  to  think  there  will  be  a 
great  scarcity  of  Lilium  Harrisii  for  the 
Easter  trade.  The  available  stock  at 
the  present  time  is  not  over  one-quarter 
of  that  usually  seen,  and  the  retailers 
are  careful  in  accepting  orders  for  fu- 
ture delivery.  Although  the  growers  or- 
dered largely  from  the  various  bulb  im- 
porters a  year  ago,  after  our  fire  many 
thousands  of  bulbs  were  countermanded 
and,  as  a  result,  only  a  few  were  plant- 
ed. The  Japanese  varieties  have  not 
proven  to  be  entirely  up  to  the  standard 
and  I  have  seen  but  few  good  results 
from  their  handling  this  season. 

Boman  hyacinths  have  not  been  a  pay- 
ing crop  and  most  of  the  growers  use 
them  only  to  fill  in  when  other  flowers 
are  scarce. 

Late  flowering  tulips  have  brought 
good  prices  so  far.  Dutch  hyacinths 
have  not  been  used  to  any  extent,  as 
they  are  not  in  great  favor  here. 

Calla  lilies,  owing  to  the  exception- 
ally mild  winter,  are  plentiful  and  the 
price  on  them  has  remained  low.'  Enor- 
mous quantities  will  be  used  in  the  in- 
terior for  church  decorations.  The  pre- 
vailing price  at  present  is  from  $1  to 
$1.50  per  hundred. 

Freesias  and  Narcissus  poeticus  are 
abundant  and  have  brought  good  prices 
throughout  the  season.  Q.

The  32d  annual  convention  will  be  held  at  De- 
troit, Mich.,  June,  1907. 


The  Wedge  nursery,  of  Albert  Lea, 
Minn.,  shipped  a  carload  of  American 
elms  to  Denver,  Colo.,  last  week. 

Hiram  McFeron,  of  the  firm  of  Kelly 
&  McFeron,  Columbus,  Ind.,  has  pur- 
chased his  partner's  interest  in  the 
nursery  business. 

A  LARGE  part  of  the  time  not  devoted 
to  railroads  by  the  state  legislature  seems 
to  be  devoted  to  nursery  legislation. 
Texas  now  has  a  new  bill  pending, 

W.  A.  Howell,  El  Eeno,  Okla.,  says 
that  the  demand  for  ornamental  stock  al- 
ready is  beginning  to  be  a  feature  of 
the  nursery  business  in  the  southwest. 

J.  B.  Mason,  formerly  rose  propaga- 
tor with  McGregor  Bros.  Co.,  Spring- 
field, O.,  is  at  Chicago  and  plans  to  lo- 
cate in  that  vicinity,  to  establish  a  nurs- 
ery for  hardy  stock  and  do  a  land- 
scaping business. 

The  unseasonably  warm  weather  is 
against  a  record  season  in  the  nursery 
business.  Growth  has  started  with  a 
rush  and  the  value  of  storage  cellars  as 
a  means  of  holding  stock  dormant  and 
prolonging  the  season  is  again  most 
forcibly  demonstrated. 

The  Cottage  Gardens  Co.,  Queens, 
N.  Y.,  has  a  landscape  department  in  the 
Metropolitan  building,  Madison  avenue 
and  Twenty-third  street.  New  York  city, 
where  Charles  "Willis  Ward  also  makes  his 
personal  headquarters.  Frank  W.  Smith 
is  in  charge  of  the  landscape  work. 

It  is  talked  at  Rochester  that  at  the 
next  session  of  congress  another  bill  will 
be  introduced  looking  to  the  protection 
of  ownership  in  horticultural  novelties. 
It  is  the  opinion  of  conservative  men 
that  such  a  bill,  unless  very  carefully 
drawn  and  liberal,  would  operate  against 
the  advance  of  horticulture. 


SEASONABLE  REMINDERS. 


Japanese  Maf4e». 

Japanese  maples  are  exceedingly  use- 
ful and  ornamental.  They  can  be  used 
to  advantage  when  in  pots  or  tubs  for 
various  forms  of  decoration,  both  indoor 
and  outdoor,  in  the  hands  of  the  jobbing 
gardener  or  the  florist.  For  the  orna- 
mentation of  large  estates  these  charm- 
ing little  trees,  of  endless  variety  of 
color  and  foliage,  can  be  used  in  great 
numbers  with  much  effect,  in  groups  or 
in  single  specimens  here  and  there.  They 
are  also  unapproachable  for  the  perma- 
nent and  continuous  brightening  up  of 
small  suburban  gardens,  a  use  to  which 
of  late  they  are  being  put  in  increased 
numbers, 

Lombardy  Poplar. 

The  Lombardy  poplar  is  a  quick-grow- 
ing tree,  and  the  astonishing  rapijjity  of 
its  attainment  of  stateliness  makes  it 
much  favored  and  in  demand  for  the  cre- 
ation of  imposing  effects  on  new  places, 
such  as  the  lining  of  both  sides  of  an 
approach  to  a  dwelling.     The  Lombardy

poplar  is  also  suitable  for  screening  ob- 
jectionable buildings  or  other  objects, 
because  it  goes  ahead  without  a  halt  to 
do  the  work  expected  of  it  and  does  it 
effectively  in  short  order. 

Evergreens. 

Arbor-vitaes  make  hedges  with  little  or 
no  prompting  or  gui(Ung,  and,  when 
growing  ill  the  form  of  a  hedge,  they 
retain  all  the  characteristics  natural  and 
peculiar  to  the  unrestrained  plant;  and 
that  is  more  than  can  be  said  of  most 
other  things  used  for  hedges. 

Colorado  blue  spruce  (Picea  pungens 
glauca)  is  a  fine  thing  in  its  specimen 
stage,  and  it  is  surprising  how  rapidly  it 
gets  to  that  stage  after  a  certain  period. 
It  is  not  so  much  because  this  variety  is 
still  rare  that  it  is  still  valuable,  and 
very  valuable,  but  because  of  the  in- 
creased demand  that  has  to  be  met  by  a 
still  somewhat  limited  supply  of  certain 
siz^s.  Planted  when  young,  they  will 
grow  in  time  to  be  worth  something. 

CIimbiii£  Roses. 

In  the  list  of  available  roses  for  the 
transformation  of  ugly  fences  and  the 
bare  walls  of  sheds  and  other  outbuild- 
ings into  things  of  beauty,  will  be  found 
varieties,  which,  if  selected  with  that  end 
in  view,  give  a  long  succession  of  blooms. 
In  connection  with  such  use  of  roses, 
should  it  not  strike  the  commercial  man 
forcibly  that  one  of  the  best  inducements 
he  could  offer  to  purchasers  would  be  the 
suggestion  such  an  example  would  be? 
There  are  many  other  ways,  akin  to  the 
foregoing,  by  which  nurserymen  and  flo- 
rists could  materially  increase  their  sales. 

Herbaceous  Stock. 

The  herbaceous  or  perennial  phlox  is  in 
the  race  to  stay;  it  is  used  in  immense 
quantities  in  its  cut  state,  and  it  is  also 

Slanted   very   extensively-  in    herbaceous 
orders. 

Peonies  overdone?  No  such  thing! 
The  craze  has  not  yet  got  to  its  full 
height.  They  are  only  now  making  a 
slow,  but  sure,  reentry  after  a  rather 
long  period  of  modest  retirement,  which 
but  fitted  them  for  the  strenuous  time 
ahead. 

About  the  easiest  thing  in  the  world 
to  handle  successfully  is  the  funkia  in 
any  variety.  If  it  is  desired  to  increase 
the  stock  the  plants  may  be  cut  up  in  the 
spring  just  as  the  leaves  are  beginning

the   present   and   a  little  of   the   future 
take  up  all   our  time  and   attention. 

Mr.   Teas'  remarks    in   regard  to   the 
comparative    hardiness    or    otherwise    of 
California  privet  are,  so  far  as  my  ex- 
perience of  twenty  years  counts,  against 
actual  facts.     Twenty  years  ago  I  plant- 
ed  about  4,000   California  privets  on  a 
place  situated  many  hundreds    of  miles 
north   of   Mason    and   Dixon's   line   and 
in  all  the  years  since  then  the  wood  was 
only  once  killed  by  frost,  and  it  may  be 
of  interest  to  state  that  the  cause  of  its 

injuriously  affect  California  privet,  but 
if  the  weather  gets  suddenly  cold  early 
in   the    season   damage  may  result.     As 
stated   already,  there  are  in   New   Eng- 
land  thousands   of   beautiful   hedges   of 
California  privet,  but  I  do  not  think  the 
same  can   be   said   of  that  part  of   the 
country    directly    south    of    Mason    and 
Dixon's  line.     It  may  be  inferred  from 
this  that  California  privet  thrives  better 
in  the  north  than  in  the  south.      R.  B. 

being  injured  then  was  an  early  severe 
freezing.     There  are  thousands  of  Cali- 
fornia   privet    hedges    in   New    England 
and  the  greater  number  of  them  are  not 
only  shapely  and  handsome,  made  so  by 
years  of  careful  clipping,  rarely  retard- 
ed  by   the   action   of    the   weather,   but 
they   are    also   distinct    features    of   the 
grounds  they  enclose  and  divide. 

Strictly  speaking,  severe  cold  does  not 

THE  SILVER  MAPLE. 

The    silver    maple    grows    rapidly,    at- 
tains a   large  size,   but  is  rather  short- 
lived.     When    grown    in    the    open,    this 
tree  tends  to   fork  near  the  ground  and 
form   a   large,   spreading   crown   with  a 
short  main  stem.     It  is  among  the  first 
trees   to   come   into   leaf   in   the   spring, 
but-  loses  its  foliage  rather  early  in  the

fall.  Since  the  wooil  is  brittle,  the 
branches  are  easily  broken  by  the  wind. 
In  rich  alluvial  soils  the  silver  maple 
frequently  attains  a  height  of  115  feet 
and  a  diameter  of  from  three  to  five 
feet. 

It  is  a  moisture-loving  tree,  and 
thrives  best  in  river  bottoms,  where  the 
soil  is  a  deep,  porous  alluvium.  In  the 
west  it  succeeds  only  where  the  roots 
can  go  down  to  permanent  water.  It  is 
moderately  tolerant;  on  good  situations 
it  approaches  the  sugar  maple  in  shade- 
enduring  qualities.  It  is  a  rapid-grow- 
ing tree,  and  in  favorable  situations  it 
commonly  makes  a  diameter  increase  of 
half  an  inch  a  year  and  occasionally 
may  even  double  this  rate. 

Silver  maple  reproduces  by  stump 
sprouts  and  seed.  The  seed,  which 
ripens  in  May  or  June,  should  be  planted 
immediately,  since  it  loses  its  vitality 
in  a  short  time  and  will  not  germinate 
if  once  allowed  to  become  dry.  It 
should  be  sown  in  drills  in  rich,  moist 
soil.  The  drills  should  be  three  feet 
apart  for  machine  cviltivation  or  two 
feet  apart  for  hand  cultivation.  Only 
about  an  inch  of  covering  is  necessary. 
Thick  sowing  is  advisable,  since  the  per- 
centage of  germination  is  low.  The 
nursery  rows  should  be  carefully  tilled 
during  the  growing  season.  The  seed- 
lings will  attain  a  height  growth  of 
from  twelve  to  thirty-six  inches  during 
the  first  season.  When  one  year  old  the 
seedlings  should  be  set  in  the  perma- 
nent plantation.

The  color  is  a  deep  rich  sbininR  scarlet  sliEbtly  dappled  with  crimson.  Foliage  is  a  rich 
bronze.  Height,  S}i  to  4  feet.  We  believe  that  Wm.  Saunders  is  decidedly  the  most  perfect 
Canna  of  this  type  that  has  been  introduced:    50c  each;  $5.00  per  doz.;  $85.00  per  100. 

OTTAWA 

Is  a  strong  grower,  Tery  robust  and  5  to  6  feet  high.  The  flowers  are  large  and  beau- 
tifully formed,  color  is  carmine  with  tints  of  old  rose  and  deep  coral,  add  to  this  the  silken 
sheen  and  you  can  imagine  the  effect  a  few  plants  will  produce. 

NOTE— We  had  this  Oanna  on  trial  among  the  Canadian  experimental  stations  last 
summer  and  this  is  the  official  report  of  their  expert:  "Quite  distinct  and  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  shades  of  colop  I  ever  saw  in  Oannas.  Of  70  massed  in  one  bed  during  the  past 
season,  this  was  the  most  floriferous  in  the  collection,  coming  into  bloom  early  and  con- 
tinuing until  cut  down  by  frost,  as  many  as  18  expanded  beads  of  blooms  being  counted  at 
one  time  on  a  plant,  and  not  a  poor  one  among  them,  all  being  of  immense  size."  50c  each; 
$6.00  per  doz.;  $85.00  per  100. 

NEW  YORK 

Has  the  Orchid  type  of  flower.  Tbey  have  mncb  more  substance  than  the  flowers  of 
the  other  varieties  of  this  class,  and  will  stand  the  hot  sunshine  as  well  as  the  toughest 
varieties  of  oannas.  The  color  is  a  solid  rich  scarlet  covered  with  a  beautiful  glowing  sheen. 
The  flowers  are  large  and  contrast  beautifully  with  the  dark  bronze  foliage.  50c  each; 
$6.00  per  doz.;  $85.00  per  100. 

Send  for  our  list  and  prices  of  60  other  leading  varieties  of  Oannas.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


March  28,  1907. 


BALTIMORE. 


The  Market 


We  are  enjoying  summer  weather,  the 
thermometer  registering  up  to  81  de- 
grees. Business  conditions  are  more  fa- 
vorable than  last  week  and  everybody 
seems  to  get  his  share.  In  the  retail 
city  markets  business  has  been  a  steady 
rush  and  many  advance  orders  for  Palm 
Sunday  and  Easter  were  booked.  Many 
church  decorations  are  ordered  and  night 
work  will  soon  be  started.  Trom  pres- 
ent indications  many  expect  a  strong 
advance  in  price  on  all  kinds  of  cut 
flowers,  as  well  as  potted  plants.  If  the 
weather  keeps  as  it  has  been,  consider- 
ably more  business  will  be  done,  al- 
though the  appearance  of  the  retail  win- 
dows and  market  stalls  gives  one  the 
idea  that  Easter  flowers  will  be  plentiful 
and  sold  at  a  close  figure;  but  the 
growers  have  a  different  view.  It  is 
feared  that  Harrisii  and  longiflorum 
will  be  short  in  supply.  Indications 
point  to  a  shortage  of  greens. 

Violets,  both  single  and  double,  will 
be  plentiful.  Callas  are  a  little  more 
regular  than  last  week.  Spiraeas  are  up 
to  the  standard. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  Keir,  Pikesville,  is  erecting  anoth- 
er fine  greenhouse. 

F.  Beitz  is  erecting  another  fine  house. 
He  has  a  hand  that  knows  how  to  do  it 
and  costs  very  little. 

W.  Lehr,  Brooklyn,  Md.,  was  in  town 
buying  a  full  supply  of  spring  garden 
seeds. 

The  seed  business  has  been  extreme- 
ly heavy  this  year.  Night  work  is  in 
full  blast. 

The  writer  received  a  clipping  from 
A.  J.  Banard,  Boston,  Mass.,  cut  from 
the  Boston  Sunday  Globe,  March  17, 
1907,  stating  that  Boston  is  the  greatest 
rose  market  and  telling  a  story  of  three 
brothers  who  pulled  out  $600,000  in  a 
decade.  It  is  interesting  and  can  be 
seen  'at  the  Gardeners'  Club  meeting, 
April  9,  1907.  J.  L.  T. 


Wilkes  Barre,  Pa.  —  Misses  Mayme 
Mooney  and  Margaret  Wier  have  gone 
into  business.  The  opening  of  their  store 
occurred  March  12.  Miss  Mooney  has 
for  many  years  been  in  the  employ  of 
Ira  G.  Marvin.  The  ladies  are  preparing 
a  fine  display  for  Easter.

PITTSBURG. 


The  Market. 


«  Business  has  shown  great  improve- 
ment the  last  week,  but  prices  are  not 
what  they  should  be.  The  weather  was 
exceedingly  warm  the  latter  part  of  last 
week  and  sent  a  great  deal  of  the  bulb- 
ous stock,  which  was  intended  for  East- 
er, into  the  market,  and  the  result  was 
low  prices  and  lots  of  stock  lost.  Eoses 
and  carnations  cleaned  up  nicely  at  fair 
prices.  The  extreme  heat  brought  in 
lots  of  bad  violets  and  has  caused  great 
anxiety  for  the   Easter  stock. 

An  unusual  number  of  large  funerals 
last  week  gave  the  retailers  plenty  of 
work  and  helped  them  to  make  a  good 
showing. 

Various  Notes. 

Beport  from  Wheeling,  W.  Va.,  says 
L.  A.  Smith  and  Zane  &  Sons,  of  the 
island,  lost  everything  in  the  plant  line, 
including  all  the  bulbous  stock  intended 
for  Easter,  the  water  in  most  cases  cov- 
ering the   plants  entirely. 

Arthur  Langnans'  home  was  flooded, 
and  while  he  was  trying  to  get  his  wife 
out  of  the  second-story  window  into  a 
boat,  word  came  to  him  that  his  store 
was  on  fire.  As  soon  as  possible  he  got 
there  and  found  the  fire  had  been  put 
out  without  much  loss,  but  there  was 
about  one  foot  of  water  in  the  store. 
Excepting  the  inconvenience  and  the  ex- 
pense of  cleaning  up,  his  loss  was  not 
heavy.  The  loss  to  the  plantsmen,  how- 
ever, will  run  into  thousands  of  dol- 
lars, for,  after  standing  in  cold  water 
forty-eight  hours,  when  the  water  went 
down  everything  was  covered  with  mud. 

The  prospects  are  for  a  good  Easter 
and,  should  the  weather  continue  warm, 
there  is  not  the  least  doubt  but  next 
week  we  will  be  able  to  report  the  best 
trade  we  ever  had.  Hoo-Hoo. 


Dickson,  Tenn. — Frank  Curry,  an  ex- 
perienced gardener  and  florist,  has  pur- 
chased five  acres  of  ground  in  the  Hel- 
burg  addition  and  will  erect  a  green- 
liouse.  He  will  grow  flowering  plants, 
shrubs,  vegetables,  etc.

MABELLE 

NKW  PINK  CARNATION  FOR  1907 

Color— A  peculiar  shade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lighter  than  the  Law- 
son.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the  brightest  sun  does  not 
injure  the  color.  Slae— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
established.  Odor  —  Pleasing,  but  not  strong. 
Steins— Invariably  strong,  but  always  graceful,  rang- 
ing from  13  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Habit, 
•to.— A  very  quick,  active  grower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  On  ac- 
count  of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  very 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  away  rapidly,  blooms  early 
and  gives  long  stems  ri^ht  from  the  start.  Prodnot* 
iTeneas— Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
use  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  and 
late,  we  have  ever  grown.  Stock  limited.  No  discount. 
Price  112.00  per  100;  1100.00  per  1000.

YOU  CAN'T  GO  ASTRAY  ON 


Rose-Pink  Enchantress 


I 


T  IS  A  SURE  THING— Sure  to  yield  you  handsome  returns;  a  sure  all-round  win- 
ner.    Here  is  one  of  a  number  of  letters  worthy  of  perusal: 

"We  have  bo  many  failures  put  on  the  market  In  these  late  years  that  it  is  a  pleasure  to  strike 
something  that  is  really  Kood.  This  we  can  say  of  the  Rose-Pink  Enchantress,  having  all  the  merits  of  a 
good  Carnation,  this  meaning  a  free  bloomer,  beautiful  color  and  a  floe  commercial  flower.  A  practical, 
excellent  carnation."  MINNEAPOLIS  FLORAL  CO.,  Minneapolii,  Minn. 


Want  to  see  some  more  ?  Then  write  me  and  I  will  mail  you  a  circular  con- 
taining twenty-odd  more  letters — letters  from  parties  perhaps  well  known  to  you,  either 
personally  or  by  reputation. 

But  the  ROSE-PINK  ENCHANTRESS  needs  no  "talking-up."  It  has 
made  its  name  and  it  has  come  to  stay  until — until  something  better  takes  its  place. 

Until  that  time  comes  be  sure  you  don't  miss  the  ROSE-PINK  ENCHAN- 


Having  filled  all  my  orders,  I  am  now  ready  to  serve  those  who  failed  to  get  in 
on  the  earlier  lots.     I  have  the  following  to  offer : 

5,000  or  more,  ready  April  I. 
12,000  or  more,  ready  April  8. 

To  avoid  delay,  parties  unknown  to  me,  will  please  send  cash  with  order  or  give

DENVER. 

The  Market 

The  cut  flower  trade  keeps  up  well 
and  the  retailers  are  kept  quite  busy 
with  decorations  for  luncheons  and  re- 
ceptions, the  only  entertainments  given 
now  on  account  of  the  Lenten  season. 
Funeral  orders  kept  some  of  them  busy 
last  week  and  the  general  demand  for 
flowers  was  good. 

Stock  is  plentiful,  the  only  shortage 
being  in  the  shorter  grades  of  roses. 
American  Beauties  are  coming  in  more 
freely,  especially  the  longer-stemmed 
ones,  and  some  good  stock  is  seen. 

Carnations  are  plentiful,  and,  with 
such  weather  as  we  have  been  having 
the  last  week,  there  will  be  a  good  sup- 
ply for  Easter;  in  fact,  it  looks  as  if 
the  supply  of  cut  flowers  will  be  suffi- 
cient. 

Violets  are  now  plentiful,  but  the 
warm  weather  is  having  some  effect  on 
them,  as  they  are  somewhat  smaller  in 
size.  Bulbous  stock  is  fairly  plentiful 
and  in  good  demand,  and  likely  to  be, 
although  the  prices  may  scale  a  notch 
higher. 

JLvery  retailer  is  hoping  for  good 
weather  to  deliver  plants  without  hav- 
ing to  wrap  them  much,  for  it  takes  a 
lot  of  time  when  it  comes  to  large  aza- 
leas, hydrangeas,  etc.;  however,  most  of 
the  stores  are  reauy  to  take  care  of  the 
Easier  rush.  There  is  but  little  seen  so 
far  in  the  way  of  novelties.  All  the  old 
favorites  are  seen  in  about  the  usual 
quantities,  lilies,  azaleas,  hydrangeas, 
spiraeas,  rhododendrons,  ramblers,  genis- 
tas, etc.  Lilies  are  good,  but  look  now 
as  if  they  will  be  somewhat  scarce  be- 
fore the  rush  is  over. 

Various  Notes. 

Ben  Boldt,  formerly  owner  of  the 
Mud  Lake  greenhouses,  recently  returned 
from  the  old  country  and  has  purchased 
the  Schenkel  greenhouses  and  will  take 
possession  at  once.  The  price  has  not 
been  divulged.  He  is  welcomed  back, 
as  he  is  one  of  the  best  plant  growers 
in  the  country. 

Emil  Glauber,  of  the  Montclair  green- 
houses, has  some  of  the  finest  Alice 
Koosevelt  roses  seen  in  a  long  time.  They 
certainly  are  top-notchers  and  have 
made  good,  the  color  being  fine  and 
they  are  large  blooms.  So  it  is  easy 
to  see  why  he  sells  them. 

Mr.  Long,  of  the  Elitch  Gardens,  has 
returned  from  the  east. 

E.  E.  Peterson  was  downtown  a  few 
days  ago  after  a  sickness  lasting  nearly 
all  winter.  He  is  about  to  start  for 
California  for  a  few  months. 

E.  S.  K. 

Adams,  Mass. — T.  D.  Brown  has  had 
the  most  prosperous  year  in  the  history 
of  his  business.  He  is  planning  for  a 
new  house  this  season  and  is  putting  in 
a  new  boiler.

CINQNNATL 


The  Market. 


Business  the  last  wecK  has  been  much 
like  mid-Siummer.  There  Avas  hardly  any 
demand  and  a  great  amount  of  stock 
found  its  way  into  the  ash  barrel.  Prices 
dropped  to  a  low  ebb  and  up  to  Monday 
there  was  no  indication  of  a  rise.  The 
briglit,  warm  sunshine  has  been  forcing 
into  bloom  a  great  number  of  flowers 
which  should  not  have  been  ready  to  cut 
for  a  week  at  least,  and  as  a  conse- 
quence the  size  of  many  of  the  roses 
shipped  into  this  market  has  decreased  a 
great  deal.  What  effect  this  is  going 
to  have  on  the  Easter  cut  can  only  be 
guessed  at  now.  Some  growers  have 
already  begun  to  salt  and  it  shows  on 
the  stock.  It  would  appear  at  present 
that  there  is  going  to  be  plenty  of  stock 
for  Easter,  and  we  all  hope  that  such 
will  be  the  case.  Orders  are  coming  in 
a  lively  fashion,  and  that  the  business 
this  year  will  be  fully  up  to  other 
years,  if  not  better,  is  assured. 

Various  Notes. 

E.   G.   Gillett   has   just  returned   from 
a    trip    through    Michigan.      He    reports^ 
that    the    outlook    for    stock    there    was 
good. 

Harry  Corbett,  Jr.,  has  rented  the 
greenhouses  of  George  Magrie,  which 
are  located  on  College  Hill.  He  will  grow 
a  general  line  of  stock  to  be  disposed  of 
in  the  flower  market. 

Charles  Jones  recently  had  a  narrow 
escape  from  serious  injury.  While  rid- 
ing in  a  light  buggy  the  horse  began  to 
cut  up  and  finally  ended  by  running 
into  a  telegraph  pole.  Mr.  Jones  was 
thrown  about  rather  roughly,  but  es- 
caped with  but  a  few  bruises. 

Walter  Mott  was  a  visitor. 

C.  J.  Ohmek. 


De  Pere,  Wis. — A.  Van  Gemert  is 
building  a  greenhouse  20x100  and  has 
engaged  John  Buth,  of  Greenleaf,  as 
grower. 

Angola,  Ind. — Fire  occurred  in  the 
greenhouse  of  Powers  &  Gibbs  March 
\'l,  but  was  extinguished  by  the  garden 
hose  before  much  damage  was  done. 

Kexdallville,  Ind. — An  azalea  re- 
cently sold  by  the  Johnston  Floral  Co. 
has  created  a  mild  sensation  at  the 
neighboring  town  of  Albion.  When  the 
flowers  Avere  fully  out  some  «-ere  white, 
some  were  red  and  some  were  variegated. 
The  people  of  Albion  never  had  seen 
anything  like  it.

LAWNS. 

The  gardener  who  is  an  artist  paints 
a  picture  with  his  flowers  and  shrubs; 
and  the  National  Council  of  Horticul- 
ture says  the  lawn  is  the  canvas  on  which 
he  paints.  To  be  successful  he  must 
therefore  prepare  his  canvas  well.  The 
first  thing  to  be  done  in  making  a 
proper  lawn  is  to  grade  the  ground, 
smoothing  rough  places,  giving  the 
projier  level  siretches  and  gentle  slope. 
This  work  varies  with  the  size  of  the 
lot  to  be  treated.  If  possible  the  lawn 
should  slope  from  the  sides  of  the  house. 
Tlie  grading  should  be  done  so  as  to 
distribute  evenly  all  surface  water, 
avoiding  the  formation  of  little  runs 
which  might  produce  washouts. 

If  the  soil  is  poor  it  should  be  en- 
riched by  a  liberal  supi)ly  of  well  rotted 
manure,  bone  meal,  or  other  good  fer- 
tilizer. Manure  sometimes  contains  the 
seeds  of  weeds;  otherwise  it  is  one  of 
the  best  fertilizers.  The  ground  should 
be  plowed  or  spaded  not  less  than  eight 
inches  deep,  removing  all  stones  and 
similar  material,  and  the  surface  made 
as  smooth  as  possible.  Then  it  is  ready 
for  sowing. 

One  of  the  best  mixtures  for  the  lawn 
is  four  parts  Kentucky  bluegrass  with 
one  part  white  clover,  sown  not  less  than 
five  bushels  per  acre.  Equally  good  re- 
sults are  usually  obtained  by  the  use  of 
red  top  in  place  of  the  bluegrass,  or 
with  equal  parts  of  red  top  and  blue- 
grass  and  a  little  white  clover.  When 
moisture  is  plentiful  the  bluegrass  forms 
a  softer  turf  than  the  red  top  but  does 
not  seem  to  endure  drought  as  well.  In 
shady  places  the  bluegrass  mixture  is 
best. 

Grass  may  be  sown  at  any  time  of  the 
year  except  January  and  February.  It 
is  impossible  to  name  a  time  which  is 
best  for  making  the  lawn,  so  much  de- 
pends on  the  weather.  It  is  best  not 
to  be  saving  of  the  seed  but  to  be  pre- 
pared to  resow  places  in  which  the  first 
sowing  comes  up  thinly. 


ViNCEXNES,  Ind. — W.  A.  Kieman  has 
had  a  splendid  season.  He  has  recently 
built  three  new  houses  and  says  he  has 
no  trouble  in  disposing  of  all  the  stock 
he  can  raise. 

Columbia  City,  Ind. — The  business 
heretofore  known  as  Wagoner's  Colum- 
bia City  Greenhouses  has  been  absorbed 
by  the  Wagoner  Floral  Co.,  A.  J.  Wag- 
oner and  O.  H.  Diflfendorfer,  proprie- 
tors. They  intend  to  build  two  houses, 
one  42x150  for  carnations  and  ohc  14x 
100  for  general  stock.  The  present  room 
will  be  devoted  to  roses.  A  steam  heat- 
ing system  will  be  installed.

TWIN  QTIES. 


The  Market 


Business  last  week  was  good,  no  doubt 
due  to  the  fine  weather.  Spring  flowers 
were  in  great  demand  and  the  large 
quantities  disposed  of  will  lessen  the 
Easter  supply  to  some  extent.  Tulips 
and  daffodils  moved  rapidly  at  fair 
prices.  Carnations  were  abundant  and 
brought  out  the  street  dealers  in  large 
numbers.  The  trade  in  general  main- 
tained the  prices  nicely,  but  the  confec- 
tioners and  street  men  were  selling  them 
from  50  cents  to  60  cents  a  dozen. 

Koses  are  in  full  crop  and  there  is  no 
doubt  but  what  the  home  stock  will 
take  care  of  this  market  nicely.  White 
lilac  is  more  in  evidence  than  ever  and 
there  appears  to  be  a  growing  demand 
for  it. 

Easter  stock  is  settled.  All  of  the 
growers  will  have  fully  an  average  of 
ninety  per  cent  of  their  lilies  in  bloom. 
The  only  apparent  diflSculty  is  that 
there  has  not  been  a  sufficient  number 
of  them  grown  and  the  heavy  retail  de- 
mand which  is  anticipated  makes  the 
growers  who  have  stores  reluctant  about 
selling  them  to  the  dealer  who  has  no 
glass.  Hydrangeas  vary  considerably  as 
to  quality  and  size.  It  is  noticeable 
that  growers  who  have  good  stocks  of 
them  have  them  nearly  all  in  the  large 
sizes. 

The  stock  of  azaleas  is  good,  much 
better  than  in  previous  years.  Baby 
Ramblers  are  likewise  good  and  the  ad- 
vance demand  is  heavy  from  country 
points.  Spiraeas  are  not  quite  so  plenti- 
ful as  in  previous  seasons.  This  is  pos- 
sibly just  as  well,  as  ey  have  not  been 
a  very  satisfactory  plant  for  Easter  in 
the  past. 

SLPauL 

L.  L.  May  &  Co.  are  introducing  a 
great  many  Easter  novelties,  some  of 
the  most  attractive  being  floral  Easter 
eggs,  chick  flower»  baskets,  and  hampers 
filled  with   artistic   effects. 

Holm  &  Olson's  lilies  will  be  in  and 
they  will  have  a.  fine  line  of  assorted 
plants. 

C.  F.  Vogt  is  making  a  nice  display  of 
potted  plants.  Church  orders  he  reports 
as  coming  nicely.

HEIGHT  OF  SMOKESTACK. 

What  is  the  proper  lieight  for  a  brick 
smokestack,  twelve  inches  square  inside 
measurement,  to  provide  draft  for  a 
3x12  return  flue  hot  water  boiler?  The 
fuel  is  soft  coal,  half  slack.  The  chim- 
ney is  to  be  twenty-four  inches  inside 
measurement  at  the  base.  J.  Y.  L. 


There  is  no  rule  to  govern  the  height 
of  a  chimney  save  that  the  higher  the 
chimney,  within  reasonable  limits,  the 
better  the  draft.  Surrounding  objects, 
such  as  buildings  and  trees,  have  more 
bearing  upon  the  height  of  smokestacks 
than  any  other  single  factor.  The  stack 
should  be  high  enough  to  escape  eddies, 
caused  by  near-by  tall  trees  and  build- 
ings. If  there  is  no  obstruction  of  this 
character  near  by  I  would  say  a  stack 
twenty-five  or  thirty  feet  high  would  an- 
swer. L.  C.  C. 

RADIATION. 

I  have  a  house  22x100  and  twelve  feet 
to  the  ridge;  side  walls  are  five  feet 
high,  two  and  one-half  feet  being  boards, 
the  remainder  glass.  There  are  three 
benches  each  five  feet  wide.  What  size 
of  pipe  should  I  use,  how  many  runs  and 
how  place  them  to  maintain  a  tempera- 
ture of  60  degrees  when  the  outdoor  tem- 
perature is  8  degrees  below  zero. 

G.  S.  B. 

A  satisfactory  way  of  providing  heat- 
ing surface  for  the  house  in  question  is 
as  follows:  If  2-inch  pipe  is  used,  four- 
teen runs  will  be  required.    A  coil  of  five

each  can  be  arranged  under  each  outside 
bench,  one  pipe  in  each  coil  acting  as  a 
supply  for  four  returns.  The  middle 
bench  can  be  provided  with  a  coil  of  four 
pipes,  a  flow  and  three  returns.  This 
provides  more  flow  pipes  than  would  be 
required  for  the  radiation.  The  house 
can  also  be  piped  by  using  a  single 
3-inch    flow    pipe    under    the    ridge    and 


use.  They  call  this  new  boiler  the  400 
series.  It  is  designed  to  meet  the  de- 
mand which  has  resulted  from  the  con- 
stantly increasing  size  of  greenhouse 
ranges.  A  single  boiler  will  take  care 
of  a  big  greenhouse  plant.  The  boiler 
follows  the  general  style  of  their  regu-

HOUSE  WITH  TWO  ROOMS. 

I  am  about  to  build  a  greenhouse  for 
growing  miscellaneous  plants  and  cut 
flowers  for  a  small  village  trade.  I 
would  like  to  know  how  to  arrange  the 
heating  pipes.  The  house  will  be  north 
and  south  and  will  be  21x50,  with  12- 
foot  sashbars.  The  side  walls  will  be 
four  and  one-half  feet,  with  two  feet  of 
glass.  There  will  be  two  side  benches 
two  and  one-half  feet  wide  and  two  cen- 
ter benches  five  feet  six  inches  wide. 
Sixteen  feet  will  be  partitioned  off  at 
the  south  end  to  run  about  10  degrees 
lower  than  carnation  temperature,  or  55 
degrees  at  night.  The  hot  water  heater 
will  be  placed  in  a  shed  at  the  north  end, 
four  feet  below  ground  level.  Should  I 
run  the  flows  along  the  eaves,  under  the 
side  benches,  or  just  below  the  purlins? 
What  number  of  2-inch  pipes  will  be  re- 
quired here  in  central  New  York,  where 
the  mercury  sometimes  falls  to  15  degrees 
below  zero  and  occasionally  to  25  de- 
grees? C.  E.  B.

A  RAMBLER'S  NOTES. 

Your  readers  will  be  pleased  to  know 
our  old  friend,  William  Scott,  of  Buf- 
falo, is  around  again  after  his  illness. 
Just  now  he  is  rusticating  at  Corfu  and, 
incidentally,  giving  his  son  David  point- 
ers on  bringing  in.  a  big  crop  of  roses 
and  carnations  for  Easter.  At  the  home 
place  William,  Jr.,  is  manipulating  flow- 
ering plants.  They  have  a  fine  lot  of 
hybrid  roses  in  pots.  Lilies  are  uncer- 
tain. 

Both  of  the  Kebstocks,  of  Buffalo,  are 
making  fine  window  displays.  This 
being  St.  Patrick's  anniversary,  the 
shamrock  and  green  carnation  are 
abundant. 

H.  Keitsch  &  Son  find  large  increase 
in  business  since  occupying  their  new 
store,  which  they  have  fitted  with  every 
facility  for  handling  high-class  trade. 

W.  F,  Kasting  is  preparing  for  the 
biggest  Easter  on  record  in  his  place 
at  Buffalo,  and  does  not  look  for  a 
scarcity  in  any  line.  His  capacious 
storeroom  is  one  of  the  largest,  and  any- 
thing in  the  floral  line  can  be  obtained 
from  his  able  manager,  Emile  Brucker.

gorgeous  display  of  flowering  plants,  in- 
cluding a  fine  strain  of  cineraria  from 
Farquhar;  not  an  off  color  in  the  col- 
lection is  a  desideratum  for  the  florist. 
I  also  noted  an  equally  choice  batch  at 
the  beautiful  place  of  Mrs.  Thompson, 
at  Canandaigua,  where  W.  Ballantyne  is 
the  able  superintendent.  A  beautiful 
sight  was  a  peach  house  in  full  bloom, 
buds  well  set,  a  promise  of  big  crops. 
This  estate  was  planted  last  fall  and  is  a

One  of  the  firm  had  just  returned  from

on  the  increase  and  many  who  have  * 
neglected  to  carry  as  full  line  as  for- 
merly are  stocking  up.  Their  collection 
of  herbaceous  plants  is  complete  and  the 
stock  is  large. 

At  the  Kimball  Conservatories,  Roch-

DAVENPORT,  lA. 

The  Tri-City  florists  held  a  meeting 
March  21  at  i'ejervary  park  and  elected 
officers  for  the  ensuing  year  as  follows: 
President,  William  Knees;  vice-presi- 
dent for  Davenport,  Henry  Pauli;  vice- 
president  for  Eock  Island,  Henry  Myer; 
vice-president  for  Moline,  Julius  Staack; 
treasurer,  Adolph  Arp;  secretary,  John 
Staack;  financial  secretary,  Theodore  L. 
Ewoldt;  trustees,  P.  Becker,  Frank 
Wolz  and  Henry  Gaethje. 

The  topic  for  discussion  was  "Beauti- 
fying City  Lots  and  School  Grounds. ' ' 
Plans  were  also  discussed  for  the  form- 
ing of  a  horticultural  society.  The  ob- 
ject of  the  society  would  be  to  give  dis- 
plays regularly  which  would  include 
every  branch  of  the  florist's  work.  Such 
an  organiaztion  is  badly  needed  in  Dav- 
enport and  it  is  thought  more  definite 
plans  will  be  made  in  the  near  future. 

After  the  business  meeting  a  social 
time  was  enjoyed  and  refreshments  were 
served  in  the  Inn.  The  next  meeting 
will  be  held  at  Fejervary  park  April  11, 
and  will  be  open  to  the  ladies. 


ELBERON,  N.  J. 

The  Elberon  Horticultural  Society 
held  its  regular  meeting  March  18,  with- 
President  Bobertson  in  the  chair.  A. 
Greib,  superintendent  for  S.  Sachs,  gave 
an  address  on  ' '  Violets, ' '  which  was 
both  interesting  and  instructive.  A. 
Kiekards,  of  New  York,  and  W.  F.  Eoss, 
of  Tarrytown,  were  present  and  made 
interesting  remarks.  The  principal  ex- 
hibits at  this  meeting  were:  Vase  of 
Cattleya  Schroederiana,  by  W.  D.  Bob- 
ertson; vase  of  Princess  of  Wales  vio- 
lets, by  A.  Greib;  vase  of  Narcissus 
Princeps,  by  J.  Kennedy;  vase  of  calla 
lilies,  by  P.  Murray;  vase  of  La  France 
violets,  by  F.  Dettlinger;  vase  of  Stock 
Princess  Elizabeth,  by  G.  A.  Bauer;  vase 
of  the  grape  hyacinth,  by  B.  Wyckoflf, 
and  a  specimen  azalea,  by  H.  Wood.

AND 


We  Want  to  Tell  You  Again 

that  all  this  talk  about  Cypress,  its  goodness,  its  lasting  qualities  and-so-forth,  is  all  right  but  it  doesn't  go  far 
enough.  Suppose  it  does  last— that's  but  half  the  problem;  the  whole  importance  lies  in  where  and  how  it's  used. 
A  wooden  eave  plate  of  Cypress  is  fatal  if  you  want  an  ice-freeing  proposition,  one  that  is  not  a  heavy  bar  of 
shade  at  the  very  point  you  want  all  light  possible — one  that  will  protect  you  against  end  rot  in  the  bars.     The  H. 

&  Co.  Metal  Eave  Plate  and  Bar  Brackets  are  but  two  of 
the  ways  we  keep  Cypress  out  and  put  Iron  in— there  are 
a  dozen  more.  Before  you  buy  a  stick  for  an  All  Cypress 
House,  find  out  about  our  combination  Iron  and  Cypress. 
Write  now  while  it's  on  your  mind.

Did  You  Ever  Test  Your  Houses? 

How  did  you  go  about  it  ?  Did  you  ever  keep  actual  record  on  two 
houses  built  with  two  different  makes  of  material  and  see  which  one 
produced  the  most  stock  and  the  best  class  of  plants?  This  is  a  good 
thing  to  do  especially  if  you  have  one  of  our  houses  as  we  will  then 
feel  sure  of  your  next  order.  Then  you  should  also  notice  how  the 
repair  account  adds  up  and  just  which  houses  you  are  having  trouble 
with.  We  ask  you  to  make  these  tests  because  we  test  the  material 
first  and  know  that  it  will  bear  out  every  claim  we  make  for  it.  One 
of  our  customers  wrote  us  this : 

GENTLKMKN :  The  material  received 
of  you  14  years  ago  is  still  in  flrst-clasB 
shape— it  was  made  right.

Houses.  Some  time  along  the  latter  part  of  November,  before  the  frost  had 
locked  things  up,  that  man  set  the  cast-iron  foot  pieces  for  the  angle  iron 
posts  and  pipe  colums;   laid  his  drains  and  pipes,  built  the  foundation  for 


the  boiler  cellar,  finished  up 
in  shape,  so  the  very  first  bit 
this  spring,  he  can  bolt  the 
the   columns   into   their  foot 


complete  his  house.  That  house 
ready  for  stock  at  once.  Now,  the  spring  rush  will  soon  be  on  and  everybody 
will  want  their  houses  all  "at  once" — to  fill  everybody's  order  at  once  is  out  of 
the  question — so  don't  dilly-dally  around  but  get  busy  and  order  it  now — get 
the  materials  on  the  ground,  so  there  will  be  no  hold-ups — and  bear  in  mind 
we  sell  every  part  or  any  part  for  good  greenhouses.     Send  for  catalogs.

THE  EASTER 


BUSINESS 


:s^ 


sfe^ 


A  New  Record  Set, 

Easter  has  grown  to  be  so  great  an 
event  in  our  trade  year  that  it  is  diffi- 
cult to  form  any  accurate  estimate  com- 
paring Easter  sales  for  the  whole  coun- 
try from  year  to  year.  It  is  mere  guess- 
work to  say  that  the  business  increased 
a  certain  definite  percentage.  Reports 
vary  and,  as  no  considerable  number  of 
individual  reports  can  be  gathered,  it  is 
only  safe  to  say  that  Easter  of  1907 
certainly  eclipsed  all  others  in  the  vol- 
ume of  retail  sales.  There  are  stores 
where  it  is  reported  that  the*  volume  of 
business  was  not  so  great  as  it  was  a 
year  ago,  but  in  nearly  every  case  these 
are  the  stores  in  the  larger  cities  which 
cater  to  the  * '  spenders, ' '  the  stock  gam- 
bling element  which  has  been  hard  hit 
by  recent  developments  in  Wall  street. 
Those  stores  of  the  better  class  which 
draw  their  patronage  from  the  people 
longer  accustomed  to  riches  do  not  make 
the  same  report,  and  the  stores  which 
cater  to  the  average,  every-day  citizen 
say  they  had  the  best  Easter  ever  ex- 
perienced.    So  much  for  the  retailers. 

Through  the  length  and  breadth  of 
the  country,  from  Portland,  Me.,  to 
Portland,  Ore.,  the  rank  and  file  of  the 
trade  who  sell  from  their  own  green- 
houses report  a  splendid  business,  fully 
up  to  best  previous  records  and  in  most 
instances  ahead  in  money  value  of  sales. 
So  long  as  crops  are  good  and  factories 
busy,  the  average  florist  will  have  no 
difficulty  in  disposing  of  all  that  he  can 
produce  at  Easter. 

Weather  Hastens  Plants. 

And  this  Easter  production  certainly 
was  something  tremendous.  The  early 
date  had  no  effect  whatever  in  reducing 
the  amount  of  stock  available.  Indeed, 
rather  than  a  restricted  supply,  more 
stock  than  ever  was  ready.  The  week 
or  ten  days  of  unseasonably  warm 
weather  preceding  Easter,  which  was 
general  throughout  the  United  States, 
had  the  effect  of  hastening  everything. 
There  was  much  more  difficulty  in  re- 
tarding stock  than  inducing  it  to  bloom 
in  time.  It  was  characteristic  that  flow- 
ering plants  were  in  flower  in  advance. 
Every  bud  on  the  azaleas  was  full  blown, 
many  lilies  were  kept  for  days  in  the 
coolest  house  and  the  bulbous  stock  was 
retarded  by  every  device  known  to  the 
skill  of  the  growers. 

Cut  Flowers  Abundant. 

Cut  flowers  were,  to  say  the  least, 
abundant.  In  fact,  in  practically  all 
the  large  wholesale  markets  a  surplus 
existed,  especially  of  bulbous  stock.  Re- 
ports indicate  that  receipts  everywhere 
were  vastly  greater  than  had  been  an- 
ticipated. The  weather  was  so  unsea- 
sonable that  it  was  thought  every  hot 
day  would  be  the  last  one  and  that  sea- 
sonable temperature  must  certainly  fol- 
low, to  check  production.  But  the  heat 
endured,  and  vrith  it  came  a  flood  of 
blooms  of  indifferent  quality.  The  re- 
sult was  that  average  prices  were  lower 


than  usual.  I'irst-class  stock  brought 
good  money  but  much  was  sacrificed  and 
the  waste  was  the  heaviest  ever  reported 
at  Easter.  Both  growers  and  commis- 
sion dealers  would  have  been  better  sat- 
isfied with  half  the  material  and  a  stiffer 
market.  The  retailers  in  the  large  cities 
also  would  have  liked  shorter  crops,  for 
the  surplus  inevitably  found  its  way  to 
the    sidewalk    venders,    who    sold    it    at 


man,  east  or  west,  produces  little  other 
than  bulbous  stock:  lilies,  tulips,  hya- 
cinths and  daffodils.  It  is  noteworthy 
that  a  large  number  of  those  who  do  a 
prosperous  business  had  nothing  what- 
ever except  these  great  staples.  Still 
others  had,  in  addition,  only  a  few  aza- 
leas, roses  in  pots,  hydrangeas,  valley 
in  pans,  and  other  more  or  less  common 
plants.  The  bulk  of  the  business  is  done 
wdth  the  staples,  with  a  few  "novelties" 
for  variety.  i 

Many  Accessories  Used. 

The  sales  of  plants  almost  invariably 
called  for  some  sort  of  decoration.  In 
hardly  any  store  were  pots  sent  out 
without  a  covering.  Probably  taking  the 
length  and  breadth  of  the  land,  nine  out 
of  ten  pots  were  covered  with  crepe 
paper,  but  for  the  others  a  great  variety 
of  material  was  used,  greater  than  ever 


Basket  of  Hyacinths  and  Lilies. 


cheap   prices   and   no   doubt  kept   many 
away  from  the  legitimate  retailers. 

Another  Plant  Easter. 

In  spite  of  the  triteness,  it  must  be 
recorded  that  this  was  a  plant  Easter. 
The  east  leads  the  west  in  the  matter  of 
plants,  not  especially  in  the  quality  of 
the  stock  produced,  but  certainly  in  its 
variety.  This,  of  course,  pertains  only 
to    the    leading    growers;    the    average 


before.  The  skill  of  the  plantsmen  com- 
bined with  the  skill  of  the  decorator 
produced  some  magnificent  effects  in  the 
leading  stores.  The  use  of  ribbon,  too, 
was  more  general  than  heretofore. 

Weather  reports  indicate  that  nearly 
everywhere  the  trade  was  favored  for 
three  days  with  excellent  conditions  for 
trade  and  for  the  delivery  of  plants 
without  the  wrapping  which  takes  much 
time  at  a  very  busy  season.

Hydraogeas. 

Many  of  our  benches  presented  a  truly 
cyclonic  appearance  on  the  evening  of 
March  30,  few  flowering  plants  of  any 
kind  being  left.  The  warm  wave 
brought  along  many  late  plants  we  had 
given  up  all  hope  of.  Averaging  things 
up,  we  find  it  was  once  more  the  most 
satisfactory  and  profitable  Easter  we 
had  and  we  hope  this  experience  has 
been  general.  We  have  been  crowded 
for  room  for  weeks  and  now  we  have  the 
much-needed  space,  let  us  utilize  it  for 
the  stock  coming  on  for  Memorial  day 
and  for  bedding  purposes.  Geraniums 
and  other  plants  referred  to  a  week  ago 
will  already  show  the  advantages  of 
more  growing  space. 

One  of  the  important  Memorial  day 
plants  is  the  hydrangea.  "While  it  meets 
with  a  fair  sale  at  Easter,  it  is  essen- 
tially a  Memorial  day  variety.  The 
plants  grow  fast  now  and  will  continu- 
ally need  more  space.  Never  allow  them 
to  suffer  for  water.  Feed  liberally  and 
if  you  can  just  see  the  heads  peeping 
in  the  ends  of  the  shoots,  they  will  be 
along  in  plenty  of  time  without  forcing. 
Plants  in  a  more  backward  condition 
should  have  a  warm  house  until  color 
shows  in  the  flower-heads,  when  a  cooler 
house  should  be  afforded  them. 

Asters. 

The  early  batch  should  now  be  strong 
plants  in  flats  and  will  soon  be  large 
enough  to  bed  out.  Of  course,  it  is 
weeks  too  early  to  think  of  planting 
any  Chinese  asters  outdoors,  but  you  may 
possibly  have  a  bench  vacated  by  vio- 
lets, or  which  may  contain  carnations 
hardly  worth  carrying  any  longer,  and 
in  this  case,  unless  you  have  an  abund- 
ance of  bedding  plants  to  occupy  the 
space,  you  may  be  puzzling  your  brains 
what  crop  to  run.  If  you  can  use  or 
sell  good  asters,  give  them  a  trial  under 


glass.  First  give  the  benches  a  liberal 
coating  of  rotted  manure  and  spade  it 
in  thoroughly.  Plant  your  asters  a  foot 
apart  in  the  rows  and  nine  inches  be- 
tween the  plants.  Attend  carefully  to 
watering.  Scratch  over  the  surface  oc- 
casionally and  you  will  have  a  grand 
crop  of  these  most  useful  flowers  long 
before  any  outdoor  ones  are  in  season. 
We  think  Queen  of  the  Earlies  the  best 
variety  to  grow,  but  Comet  does  well. 
If  large  flowers  are  desired  and  a  fancy 
price  can  be  had,  they  had  better  be 
disbudded,  staked  up  and  treated  like 
chrysanthemums.  Of  course,  it  might 
not  pay  to  devote  a  house  to  asters,  but 
a  bench  may  produce  a  very  profitable 
crop. 

Hetbaceous  Perennials. 

While  fall  is  the  best  time  to  do  any 
dividing  or  transplanting  of  herbaceous 
perennials,  the  majority  can  be  moved 
successfully  now.  If  they  are  grown  for 
cut  flower  production  only,  it  is  well  to 
bear  in  mind  that  they  relish  liberal 
treatment  and  plenty  of  manure  should 
be  worked  into  the  soil.  Any  winter 
covering  placed  on  sorts  of  doubtful 
hardiness  should  be  removed  at  once, 
before  the  shoots  piish  too  far  through 
it,  in  which  case  many  get  broken  dur- 
ing its  removal. 

Greenhouse  Bulbous  Plants. 

Seedlings  of  gloxinias  and  tuberous 
begonias  should  be  pricked  off  in  flats 
or  pans  before  they  crowd  one  another. 
They  need  a  light,  somewhat  shaded 
position  in  a  warm  house.  For  com- 
post a  mixture  of  half  leaf-mold  and 
loam,  with  some  sand  and  fine  charcoal 
added,  is  suitable.  Plants  being  grown 
from  bulbs  will  now  be.  making  rapid 
headway.  Do  not  overwater  them  and 
keep'  water  off  the  foliage  as  much  as 
possible,  or  many  leaves  will  soon  be- 
come disfigured.     A  light  but  rich  com- 


post containing  a  good  proportion  of 
well  decomposed  and  dried  cow  manure 
is  to  their  liking. 

Streptocarpuses  are  not  much  seen 
nowadays.  A  good  strain,  however,  makes 
a  handsome  show.  Unfortunately  the 
leaves  have  a  peculiar  fascination  for 
mealy  bug.  They  succeed  well  with 
gloxinias.  Their  stems  are  stiff  and  well 
adapted  for  cutting.  Some  day  we  hope 
gloxinias,  by  incercrossing,  may  have 
just  such  wiry  flower-stalks  and  then 
their  value  as  cut  flowers  will  be  greatly 
enhanced. 

Hardy  Annuals. 

You  will  have  sown  your  sweet  peas, 
or  ought  to  have  done  so,  by  this  time, 
if  you  want  best  results.  There  are  a 
few  other  flowering  annuals  which  can 
be  sown  quite  early.  Among  them  are 
such  useful  varieties  aa  mignonette, 
bachelor's  button,  larkspur,  sweet  alys- 
sum,  candytuft  and  Shirley  poppies.  The 
last  named  should  be  sown  several  times 
during  the  season.  Its  rather  fragile 
flowers  are  wondrously  beautiful  and  al- 
ways sell  well  where  there  is  a  home 
trade  for  flowers.  Of  course,  for  ship- 
ping purposes  they  are  of  no  value. 

Bulbous  Plants. 

Dutch  bulbs  may  also  safely  be  un- 
covered. It  should  be  borne  in  mind 
that  it  is  really  more  for  a  mulching  and 
to  prevent  freezing  and  thawing  of  the 
ground  that  we  cover  them,  for  they  are 
not  tender  plants.  Some  bulbous  plants 
may  now  be  set  out,  such  as  liliums  of 
sorts,  Galtonia  candicans,  montbretias 
and  an  early  planting  of  gladioli.  Do 
not  put  out  all  your  bulbs  of  the  latter 
at  once.  They  can  be  planted  until  June 
and  will  flower  well. 

Miscellaneous. 

Give  the  lilies  for  Decoration  day  a 
light,  sunny  bench.  If  you  can  count 
their  buds  a  month  ahead  of  the  time 
the  flowers  are  wanted  you  will  be  all 
right. 

Cuttings  of  coleus,  alternanthera, 
ageratum  and  other  bedding  plants  will 
still  make  fine  plants  by  the  time  they 
are  needed.  Keep  the  propagating  bed 
full,  but  be  sure  to  pot  or  place  in  flats 
before  the  cuttings  become  hardened. 
Throw  away  old  stock  plants  of  coleus. 
They  are  liable  to  be  lodging  places  for 
mealy  bug.

Sowings  of  Salvia  splendens  are  still 
seasonable,  asters,  Nicotiana  Sanderse 
and  N.  affinis  and  other  quick  growing 
annuals  are  still  in  good  season. 

Pull  up  single-flowered  stocks  as  they 
show  themselves.  Give  the  doubles  all 
possible  chance  to  develop.  The  singles 
are  almost   unsalable,   but  doubles   come 


est  flowers  would  pay  best.  Gladioli,  if 
in  separate  shades  of  color,  might  prove 
a  fairly  profitable  crop.  Mixed  colors 
would  not  pay  express  charges  lor  any 
uistance  to  any  important  market.  A 
few  sweet  peas  could  probably  be  grown 
at  a  profit.  Dahlias  are  becoming  pop- 
ular in  some  markets   and    no   doubt  if

rial day. 

Take  some  cuttings  from  your  best 
antirrhinums,  pot  off  when  rooted  and 
plant  outdoors.  Cuttings  from  these 
next  August  will  make  fine  stock  for 
following  chrysanthemums.  The  older 
plants,  also,  if  lifted  carefully,  cut  back 
and  benched,  will  give  splendid  spikes. 

Make  careful  note  of  plants  selling 
especially  well  at  Easter  and  plan  to 
increase  your  stock  of  these  for  another 
year.  Remember  also  that  Easter,  1908, 
does  not  come  until  April  19. 

Many  bedding  plants  can  now  be  re- 
moved to  gentle  hotbeds  and  relieve  the 
crowding  in  the  houses.  Take  out  the 
hardier  varieties  first.  They  will  need 
covering  with  matting  at  night  for  a 
short  time  yet,  as  we  may  have  a  mild 
revisitation  of  winter. 


SHADING  VITH  VHITEWASH, 

Can  you  give  me  a  good  recipe  for 
whitewashing  my  greenhouse.      K.  C.  C. 

An  excellent  whitewash  for  green- 
houses is  kerosene  and  white  lead;  a  lit- 
tle whiting  may  be  added  to  make  it 
a  purer  color.  Stir  up  the  lead  m  the 
kerosene  and  try  it  on  a  sheet  of  glass 
until  you  get  it  the  right  thickness.  This 
may  be  put  on  with  a  force  pump  or 
ordinary  hand  syringe;  or,  to  make  a 
neater  job,  use  an  ordinary  wide  white- 
wash brush  with  a  long  handle.  Be  sure 
not  to  use  any  linseed  oil,  as  the  mixture 
would  be  hard  to  remove  from  the  glass 
in  the  fall.  C.  W. 


FLOWERS  FOR  MARKET. 

What  flowers  can  be  raised  outdoors 
100  miles  south  of  Philadelphia  that 
would  pay  to  grow  and  ship  to  market? 

E.   C.  L. 


There  are  probably  two  flowers  which 
it  would  pay  to  grow  ana  ship  to  a  dis- 
tant market.  Asters,  if  of  separate  col- 
ors, pure  white,  delicate  pink  and  light 
blue,  meet  with  a  ^ood  sale.     The  earli- 


a  few  sorts  of  especially  desirauie  colors 
were  grown  the  flowers  would  sell.  We 
think  an  inquiry  to  a  commission  sales- 
man in  the  market  you  will  ship  to 
might  help  you  further.  C.  W. 


TROUBLE  WITH  MICE. 

Will  you  please  tell  me  how  to  get 
mice  out  of  the  greenhouses?  They  are 
not   the  common  house  mice.     They   are 


is  to  wait  and  shoot  them,  but  they  do 
their  mischievous  work  during  the  night, 
eating  off  and  pulling  down  lettuce 
plants.  They  have  eaten  off  as  many  as 
seventy-five   plants  in  a  night. 

F.  W.  V. 


For  ordinary  house  mice,  we  have 
always  found  nux  vomica  mixed  with 
meal  the  best  remedy.  They  eat  it  free- 
ly and  are  not  seen  after  one  night.  We 
have  had  similar  trouble  with  field  mice 
and  know  them  to  be  very  destructive. 
Ordinary  mousetraps  are  of  no  use.  Pro- 
cure one  or  two  moletraps  and  set  in 
their  runs.  They  can  be  procured  from 
any  seedsman.  These  will  soon  capture 
all  the  intruders.  We  would  also  ad- 
vise sprinkling  around  some  of  the  nux 
vomica  mixed  with  burnt  meal.  It 
seems  to  be  well  liked  by  all  members  of 
the  mouse  family.  C.  W. 


ANNUALS  FOR  BEDDING. 

Will  you  please  give  a  list  of  the  best 
annual  plants  for  bedding  on  large 
lawns?  What  do  you  think  of  a  bed  of 
dwarf  coxcomb  bordered  with  Centaurea 
gymnocarpa?  .  E.  S. 


Annuals  to  be  effective  should  be 
planted  in  solid  beds  or  in  large  masses 
of  one  color.  Coxcombs  we  do  not  con- 
sider a  desirable  annual  for  bedding* 
owing  to  the  extremely  stiff  habit.  The 
Centaurea  gymnocarpa,  however,  makes 
a  good  shbw  in  a  mass.  A  few  first- 
class  annuals  for  mass  effect  are  the 
following:  Salvia  splendens,  petunias, 
of  which  the  California  giants  are  fine, 
and  in  separate  shades  of  color  they  are 
also  very  effective;  verbenas,  for  they 
bloom  the  entire  season ;  Phlox  Drum- 
mondi,  Nicotiana  afiinis  and  N.  San- 
deree.  The  latter  prefer  a  little  shade 
and  in  such  a  location  make  a  magnifi-

field,  or  sometimes  called  meadow  mice, 
with  short  tails.  I  find  they  will  not  go 
into  a  mousetrap,  nor  will  they  eat  any 
of  the  poisoned  bait.  I  have  placed 
some  poisoned  wheat  on  the  ground, 
which  they  have  not  eaten.  I  also  mixed 
Paris  green  with  wheat  flour  and  sugar. 
That,  too,  does  not  seem  to  invite  their 
appetite.     The   only  way   I   have   found 


cent  show  from  June  until  October.  Zin- 
nias are  a  little  stiff,  but  for  massing 
in  separate  colors  are  good.  For  an 
easily  grown  yellow  flower,  Calendula 
Prince  of  Orange  or  Lemon  Queen  could 
be  used.  The  various  coreopsis,  like 
Drummondi  and  coronata,  are  persistent 
bloomers.

shoTV  and  leave  big  gaps  ■when  done 
blooming.  IFor  coarse  flowers,  mari- 
golds and  annual  sunflowers  are  good. 
In  rather  poor  soil,  dwarf  nasturtiums 
are  worthy  a  place.  Antirrhinums  make 
a  nice  bed,  while  Dianthus  Heddewigi  and 
D.  Chinensis  flower  a  long  time.

SCALE  ON  FERNS. 

Will  you  please  name  the  enclosed 
scale  and  tell  me  how  to  kill  it?  It  only 
troubles    my   Boston    and    Scottii    ferns. 

C.  W.  B. 


Professor  Surface,  the  economic  zo- 
ologist for  the  state  of  Pennsylvania, 
says  this  insect  is  one  of  the  Lecanium 
scales.  The  problem  of  killing  them  on 
a  much  infested  fern  is  a  difficult  one, 
from  the  fact  that  the  mature  insect  can 
stand  more  than  the  fern;  but  either 
dipping  or  syringing  with  a  solution  of 
extract  of  tobacco  will  discourage  the 
insects  to  some  extent.  The  solution  I 
have  used  for  this  purpose  is  in  the  pro- 
portion of  one  part  of  Eose  Leaf  ex- 
tract to  fifty  parts  of  warm  water. 


CARNATIONS  IN  ENGLAND. 

The  newly  formed  carnation  society 
in  England  held  its  second  exhibition  in 
London  March  13.  There  was  a  large 
display,  including  almost  every  variety, 
and  some  grand  flowers,  but  to  the  Brit- 
ish eye  the  display  was  not  '  *  spectacu- 
lar" and  lacked  in  popular  interest  be- 
cause of  the  "sameness"  of  the  tables 
of  exhibits.  Few  novelties  were  shown. 
A.  F.  Button's  White  Lawson  Improved 
was  certificated  as  differing  from  the 
variety  commonly  known  as  White  Law- 
son.  H.  '.Burnett,  of  St.  Margarets, 
Guernsey,  showed  a  table  of  splendid 
flowers,  including  many  new  sorts.     Mar-

spective colors. 


FOR  SAME  TEMPERATURE. 

I  started  last  year  in  the  florists' 
business  and  had  fair  success.  What 
varieties  of  carnations  in  cerise,  red, 
white  and  pink  would  you  advise  me  to 
grow?  t,  K. 


I  am  starting  a  greenhouse  and  would 
like  to  know  what  varieties  of  carna- 
tions are  best  for  growing  together  in 
one  house  in  which  the  soil  is  somewhat 
heavy.  The  flowers  are  for  village 
trade.  I  want  a  good  pink.  Enchantress 
would  suit,  a  white  and  a  red.  I  do 
not  care  for  more  than  one  variety  of 
a  color.  E.  C.  B. 

The  following  varieties  will  do  splen- 
didly in  the  same  house  with  Enchantress 
and  you  could  hardly  improve  upon  them 
if  you  wish  to  grow  only  one  variety  in 
each  color:  Rose-pink  Enchantress  for 
bright  pink,  Victory  for  red,  and  Lady 
Bountiful  for  white.  White  Perfection 
will  cover  the  season  a  little  better  than 
Lady  Bountiful,  as  it  comes  good  early 
in  the  fall,  when  Bountiful  lacks  some- 
what in  petalage.  If  you  care  to  pay 
the  higher  price  it  will  pay  you  to  stock 
up  with  White  Perfection.  I  have  fre- 
quently on  previous  occasions  advised 
against  planting  only  one  variety  in 
each  color,  at  least  until  you  find  out 
which  varieties  you  will  succeed  best 
with.  My  choice  of  varieties  may  not 
meet  with  your  favor  after  you  try 
them.  Other  varieties  that  might  give 
you  as  good  or  better  returns  are  as  fol- 


This  scale  has  given  much  trouble  to 
fern  growers  and  is  not  confined  to 
nephrolepis,  but  will  also  attack  pteris 
and  other  species.  The  tobacco  treat- 
ment will  need  to  be  repeated  from  time 
to  time.  W.  H.  T. 


TO  GET  GOOD  LAWNS. 

There  is  an  old  story  to  the  effect 
that  when  an  American  visitor  asked  i% 
garden  laborer  at  one  of  the  colleges  at 
a  certain  English  university  for  the 
recipe  for  such  wonderful  lawns  as  the 
college  possessed,  the  answer  was,  "You 
sweeps  'em,  and  you  rolls  'em,  and  you 
mows  'em."  And  when  the  retort  came 
that  this  was  thoroughly  comprehended, 
the  old  man  still  replied,  '  *  You  sweeps 
'em,  and  you  rolls  'em,  and  you  mows 
'em, ' '  but  added,  * '  And  you  keeps  on 
a-doing  of  it  for  a  hundred  years,  and 
then  you  get  good  lawns. ' ' 


Toledo,  O. — Miss  C.  B.  Flick,  who 
also  owns  a  store  in  Ft.  Wayne,  Ind., 
has  sold  her  Toledo  store  to  Miss  Helen 
Patten.  It  will  henceforth  be  known 
as  the  Patten  Flower  Store.

you  think  the  first  coat  of  manure  was 
not  enough,  you  can  spread  on  another 
lot  any  time  just  before  plowing.  This 
frequent  plowing  will  mix  the  manure 
with  the  soil  thoroughly  and  will  let  the 
air  into  it,  besides  keeping  down  the 
weeds. 

You  could  sow  the  place  in  oats  after 
the  first  plowing  and  turn  it  under  when 
it   is   a    few  inches    high,    which   would

cannot  afford  many,  but  keep  up  to  date

GETTING  SOIL  IN  SHAPE. 

I  have  no  soil  prepared  for  the  com- 
ing season 's  planting,  which  will  consist 
of  6,000  carnations  and  600  roses.  "What 
is  best  to  do  under  the  circumstances? 
The  soil  would  have  to  be  hauled  a  mile 
or  more.  C.  U. 


There  is  no  reason  why  you  should 
not  get  your  soil  into  good  condition  if 
you  go  at  it  just  as  early  as  possible 
and  follow  the  right  course.  It  will  take 
more  work  to  get  it  in  shape,  or,  at 
least,  it  will  take  up  your  time  when 
you  can  ill  afford  to  spare  it;  while,  if 
it  had  been  put  up  last  fall,  you  could 
have  worked  it  in  between  your  other 
work  without  interfering  in  the  least. 

For  your  carnation  soil,  if  you  can 
find  some  good,  rich  soil  that  has  been 
under  cultivation,  but  which  has  been 
kept  up  in  good  condition  by  manuring, 
etc.,  it  will  do  better  under  the  circum- 
stances than  would  a  heavy  sod.  If  you 
can  leave  it  where  it  is  until  about  the 
time  to  use  it,  I  would  apply  a  heavy 
coat  of  manurt!  and  plow  it  in  right 
away.  Do  this  only  if  the  soil  is  not 
too  wet  to  plow  nicely;  if  it  is  too  wet, 
then  wait  until  it  is  in  proper  condi- 
tion. Don't  put  on  the  manure  until  it 
is  in  shape,  because  it  will  take  too  long 
to  dry  out  and  if  a  heavy  rain  should 
come  it  might  keep  you  from  plowing 
for  some  time.  So  get  the  manure 
handy  and  at  the  proper  time  spread  it 
on  the  ground  and  plow  at  once.  Then 
plow  it  over  every  three  weeks  and,  if 


mean  to   skip   at  least  one  plowing.     I 
think  it  would  pay  to  do  this. 

If  you  cannot  follow  this  plan,  then 
I  would  look  for  some  good  sod  and,  in- 
stead of  taking  it  three  inches  deep,  I 


some   good   soil,    but  you  must   be  per- 
sistent. 

For  your  roses,  you  can  cut  sod  three 
inches  deep  and  compost  it  with  manure 
and  by  chopping  it  down  and  thoroughly 
mixing  it  with  the  manure  several  times 
between  now  and  planting  time,  it  will 
be  in  splendid  condition.  Roses  do  not 
care  for  as  fine  a  soil  as  carnations;  in 
fact,  a  soil  that  has  considerable  fiber 
in  it  is  more  to  their  liking.  Many 
growers  cut  sod  two  inches  thick  and 
cover  the  entire  bench  with  this  fresh 
sod,  laying  it  with  the  grass  side  down. 
On  top  of  this  is  placed  a  few  inches  of 
rotted  sod  to  set  the  plants  in;  and  the 
roses  certainly  seem  to  thrive  on  it.  I 
do  not  mean  to  say  that  this  layer  of 
sod  is  essential,  but  it  shows  that  roses 
like  a  rather  coarse,  fibrous  soil  with 
good  drainage,  while  for  carnations  you 
want  a  finer  grained  soil  and  more  on 
the  sandy  order.  A.  F.  J.  B. 


SCRANTON  FLORISTS'  CLUB. 

The  Scranton  Florists'  Club  is  one  of 
the  young  and  hustling  trade  organiza- 
tions. It  was  instituted  at  a  meeting 
held  in  Scranton,  Pa.,  November  17, 
1905,  so  that  the  year  and  a  half  of  its 
existence  have  shown  excellent  progress. 
The  club  meets  on  the  third  Friday  of 
each  month,  in  the  Guernsey  building, 
and  each  session  sees  a  good  attendance, 
usually  with  a  considerable  number  of 
exhibits,  for  a  silver  cup  is  offered  to 
the  member  who  at  the  end  of  the  year 
has  scored  highest  under  the  point  sys- 
tem of  awards.  The  first  exhibition  to 
which  the  club  has  invited  the  general 
public  was  held  March  15  and  already 
has  been  described  at  length  in  the  col- 
umns of  the  Review.  Exhibits  were 
attracted  all  the  way  from  Chicago  on 
the  west  to  Long  Island  on  the  east. 
No  admission  fee  was  charged,  and  the 
attendance  of  flower  buyers  was  most 
encouraging    to    the    club.      The    flower

would  take  it  about  six  inches  deep. 
Pile  it  up  as  you  would  in  the  fall  and

CARNATIONS  IN  ENGLAND. 

The  newly  formed  carnation  society 
in  Lnoland  held  its  second  exhibition  in 
London  .March  13.  There  was  a  largo 
display,  including  almost  every  variety, 
and  some  grand  tlowers,  but  to  the  Brit- 
ish t>ye  the  disj)lay  was  not  "spectacu- 
lar'' and  lacked  in  popular  interest  be- 
cause of  the  "sameness"  of  the  tables 
of  exhibits.  Few  novelties  were  shown. 
A.  y.  JJutton  's  White  T^awson  Improved 
was  certificated  as  differing  from  the 
variety  commonly  known  as  White  Law- 
son.  IT.  Burnett,  of  St.  Margarets, 
(iiiernsey.  showed  a  tal)le  of  splendid 
tlowers.  inclmling  many  new  sorts.     Mar- 


mion  is  large,  rich  salmon  red,  with  a 
wide  white  border  on  the  petals.  A. 
Smith,  Enfield  Higliway,  ^Middlesex,  had 
a  grand  vase  of  Britannia.  In  the  com- 
])etitive  classes  White  Perfection,  Mrs. 
Lawson,  Harlowarden,  Robert  Craig  and 
Prosperity  were  the  winners  in  their  re- 
sj)ective  colors. 


FOR  SAME  TEMPERATURE. 

I  started  last  year  in  the  florists' 
business  and  had  fair  success.  What 
varieties  of  carnations  in  cerise,  red, 
white  and  pink  would  you  advise  me  to 
grow  ?  E. 


I  am  starting  a  greenhouse  and  would 
like  to  know  what  varieties  of  carna- 
tions are  best  for  growing  together  in 
one  house  in  which  the  soil  is  somewhat 
licavy.  Tlie  flowers  are  for  village 
trade.  I  want  a  good  pink.  Enchantress 
would  suit,  a  white  and  a  red.  I  do 
not  care  for  more  than  one  variety  of 
a  color.  E.  C.  B. 


View  of  the  Recent  Exhibition  by  the  Scran  ton  Florists*  Club. 


The  following  varieties  will  do  splen- 
didly in  the  same  house  with  Enchantress 
and  you  could  hardly  improve  upon  them 
if  you  wish  to  grow  only  one  variety  in 
each  color:  Kose-pink  Enchantress  for 
bright  pink.  Victory  for  rcd,  and  Lady 
Bountiful  for  white.  White  Perfei-tion 
will  cover  the  season  a  little  better  than 
Lady  Bountiful,  as  it  comes  good  early 
in  the  fall,  Avhen  Bountiful  lacks  some- 
wiiat  in  petalage.  If  you  care  to  pay 
the  higher  price  it  will  pay  you  to  stock 
up  with  Wliite  I'erfection.  I  have  frc- 
(|uently  on  previous  occasions  advised 
against  ]>lnnting  only  one  variety  in 
each  color,  at  least  uidil  you  find  out 
which  varieties  you  will  succeed  best 
with.  My  choice  of  varieties  may  not 
m<'et  Mith  your  favor  after  you  try 
them.  Other  varieties  that  might  give 
you  as  good  or  l)etter  returns  are  as  fol- 


This  Scale  has  given  much  trouble  to 
tern  growers  and  is  not  confined  to 
nephrolepis.  but  will  also  attack  ](teris 
an<l  other  species.  The  tidiacco  treat-

to  the  trade  an  unknown  quantity,  but 
which  you  must  try  on  your  place  sooner 
or   later,  and   it   will   pay   you   to   do   it 


you  think  the  first  coat  of  manure  was 
not  enough,  you  can  spread  on  another 
lot  any  time  just  before  idowing.  This 
frequent  plowing  will  mix  the  manure 
with  the  soil  thoroiiglily  and  will  let  the 
air  into  it,  besides  keeping  down  the 
weeds. 

You  could  sow  llie  ]»]ac(>  in  oats  after 
the  first  plowing  and  turn  it  uiuler  when 
it    is    a    few    im-hes    liigli,    wliicii    would 


s(jnie    good    soil,    but   you    must    be   per- 
sistent. 

J'^or  your  roses,  you  can  cut  sod  three 
inches  deep  and  compost  it  with  manure 
and  by  ciioppiiig  it  down  and  thoroughly 
mixing  it  with  tiie  maiuire  several  times 
between  now  aiul  planting  time,  it  will 
be  in  splendid  I'onditioii.  looses  do  nut 
eare  for  as  tine  a  soil  as  carnations;  in 
fact,  a  soil  that  has  considerable  liber 
in  it  is  more  to  their  liking.'  Many 
growers  eut  sod  two  inches  thick  and 
cover  the  entire  bench  with  this  fresh 
sod,  laying  it  with  the  grass  side  down. 
On  to|)  of  this  is  placed  a  few  inches  of 
rotted  sod  to  set  the  jilants  in;  and  the 
rosrs  certainly  seem  to  thrive  on  it.  1 
do  not  mean  to  say  that  this  layer  of 
s<i(l  is  ('sscntinl,  but  it  shows  that  roses 
like  a  rather  coarse,  fibrous  soil  with 
good  drainage,  while  for  carnations  you 
want  a  finer  grained  soil  and  more  on 
the  sandy  order.  A.  F.  J.  B.

GETTING  SOIL  IN  SHAPE. 

1  have  no  soil  prepared  for  the  com- 
ing season's  planting,  which  will  consist 
<it  (),U1MI  carnations  and  (iOO  roses.  What 
is  best  to  do  under  tin!  circumstances.^ 
The  soil  would  have  to  be  hauled  a  mile 
or  more.  (.'.  U. 

Tlu-re  is  no  re:uson  why  you  siiould 
not  get  your  soil  into  good  condition  if 
you  go  at  it  just  as  early  as  jiossible 
and  Icdlow  the  riglit  course.  It  will  take 
more  work  to  gvt  it  in  shape,  or.  at 
least,  it  will  take  up  your  time  when 
you  can  ill  afford  to  spare  it;  while,  if 
it  hail  been  put  up  last  fall,  you  could 
)ia\e  worked  it  in  between  yoni'  other 
work  without  interfering  in  the  least. 

For  your  carnation  soil,  if  you  can 
find  some  good,  rich  soil  that  lias  bevu 
under  cultivation,  but  which  has  been 
kept  uj)  in  gfiod  condition  by  maniiiing, 
etc.,  it  will  do  better  under  the  circiini 
stances  than  would  a  lit^avy  sod.  If  you 
'^•an  lea\e  it  wlieie  it  is  until  about  the 
time  to  use  it.  I  would  apply  ;i  iie;ivy 
<'oat  of  inanun'  and  plow  it  in  riylit 
away.  ho  thi^  only  it  th(>  soil  is  not 
too  wet  to  plow  nieely;  if  it  is  too  wet. 
then  wait  until  it  is  in  ])ro])er  condi- 
tion. Don't  ]uit  on  flu>  manure  until  it 
is  in  sliajie,  because  it  will  take  too  lon<4 
1o  dry  out  and  if  a  lii'avy  rain  should 
come  it  might  keep  you  I'roin  ]»lowing 
for  some  time.  So  get  tiie  manure 
handy  and  at  the  projter  time  spri^ad  it 
on  the  grouiul  and  jilow  at  once.  Then 
plow     it    o\er    everv    three    weeks    ;iui|,    if 


mean   to    skij)    at    least   one    plowing.      I 
think  it  would  j>;iy  to  do  this. 

If  you  cannot  follow  this  plan,  then 
1  would  look  for  some  good  sod  and,  in- 
stead   of   taking    it    three    inches    deep,    1

THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Nathan  Smith. 

Had  Nathan  Smith,  of  Adrian,  Mich., 
lived  until  Saturday,  he  and  his  estima- 
ble wife  could  have  celebrated  their 
sixty-fifth  wedding  anniversary.  As  it 
is,  the  venerable  gentleman  died  Thurs- 
day, March  28,  at  8:15  p.  m.,  at  his 
home  on  West  Maumee  street,  and  his 
companion  of  all  these  years  is  left  in 
a  house  of  mourning. 

Nathan  Smith,  the  senior  member  of 
the  firm  of  Nathan  Smith  &  Son,  was 
one  of  the  oldest  and  most  highly  re- 
spected citizens  in  his  city.  Without 
doubt,  up  to  his  death,  he  was  the  old- 
est continuous  resident  of  his  state,  re- 
moving to  Michigan  with  his  parents 
when  he  was  but  3  years  of  age. 

Nathan  Smith  was  born  September 
22,  1817,  at  Manlius,  Onondaga  county, 
New  York.  When  the  family  removed 
to  Michigan  they  settled  near  Birming- 
ham, which  is  now  nearly  a  suburb  of 
Detroit.  The  father  set  to  work  making 
a  home  in  the  woods,  where  he  reared  a 
large  family.  Nathan  Smith  is  the  last 
one  of  this  large  family  to  go.  As  a 
lad  Nathan's  playmates  were  the  In- 
dian children  of  the  woods,  and  he 
learned  to  speak  their  language  quite 
fluently.  He  seldom  saw  a  white  child 
outside  of  his  own  family,  and  his  edu- 
cation was  picked  up  as  best  he  could. 
Mr.  Smith  was  a  great  reader,  and  kept 
up  to  date  on  all  questions  to  a  remark- 
able degree.  At  the  age  of  17  he  began 
learning  the  carpenter's  trade,  and  was 
in  the  work  quite  extensively  in  Detroit. 
For  many  years  he  was  in  charge  of 
the  department  of  construction  on  the 
Michigan  Central  railroad,  his  first  work 
being  on  the  first  Michigan  Central 
roundhouse  at  Detroit.  Most  of  the 
first  buildings  along  the  Michigan  Cen- 
tral road  were  erected  under  his  super- 
vision. He  was  in  charge  of  a  gang  of 
100  men  at  the  memorable  time  when, 
near  Michigan  City,  a  railroad  crossing 
war  resulted  in  an  accident  which  killed 
many  men,  and  which  ultimately  led  up 
to  starting  the  present  laws  regulating 
railway  crossings  in  Michigan. 

Mr.  Smith  was  married  March  30, 
1842,  in  Southfiekl  township,  Oakland 
county,  to  Miss  Helen  A.  Green,  and 
she  has  proved  a  faithful  and  helpful 
companion  through  all  the  sixty-five 
years  that  have  passed.  In  the  summer 
of  1843  they  moved  to  Detroit,  where 
they  kept  their  home  until  1857,  when 
they  removed  to  Adrian.  This  city  has 
been  their  home  ever  since.  Mr.  Smith 
worked  at  the  carpenter's  trade  for 
some  years,  built  the  present  Smith 
residence  himself,  on  West  Maumee 
street,  and  in  1876  built  the  first  green- 
house of  the  plant  which  has  grown  into 
one  of  the  most  widely  known  green- 
house establishments  in  the  state.  El- 
mer D.  Smith,  the  only  son  and  junior 
member  of  the  firm,  has  accomplished 
much  of  this  and  is  now  recognized  as 
an  authority  on  the  chrysanthemum. 

Nathan  Smith  took  much  interest  in 
the  affairs  of  Adrian.  In  the  building 
of  the  college  in  that  city  he  gave  lib- 
erally of  his  money  and  of  material. 
He  was  one  of  the  first  republican  vot- 
ers, and  a  Fremont  man.  Of  a  robust 
constitution,  he  had  but  little  sickness 
during  his  long  life,  until  last  summer. 
Stijl  he  kept  up  all  winter,  and  took  to 
his  bed  only  March  26.  The  funeral  was 
conducted  from  the  house  March  30. 
The  burial  was  private.

Mn.  Henry  A.  Dreer. 

Mary  L.  Dreer,  widow  of  Henry  A. 
Dreer,  founder  of  the  well-known  Phila- 
delphia business  conducted  under  that 
name,  died  March  25,  at  Pasadena,  Cal., 
where  she  had  made  her  home  since 
1890.  Mrs.  Dreer  was  born  September 
27,  1829,  at  Reading,  Pa.,  and  after 
her  marriage  to  Mr,  Dreer  in  1847  lived 
at  Philadelphia  for  forty-three  years. 
She  was  a  woman  of  highest  character 
and  ceaseless  activity,  devoting  much 
of  her  time  to  charitable  enterprises. 
Her  hospital  work  during  the  war  of  the 
rebellion  is  still  well  remembered.  She 
is  survived  by  four  daughters  and  one 
son,  the  latter,  William  F.  Dreer,  the  pres- 
ent head  of  the  Henry  A.  Dreer  corpora- 
tion, who  annually  has  spent  a  portion 
of  every  winter  with  his  mother  at  her 
home  at  Pasadena.  The  interment  will 
be  at  Philadelphia. 

Gacton  Glosk. 

Gaston  Glosk,  a  young  German  em- 
ployed by  W.  W.  Seekins,  Duluth,  Minn., 
died  of  heart  failure  on  the  evening  of 
March  27,  while  at  work  in  the  packing 
shed.  Nothing  is  known  of  his  rela- 
tives. He  removed  to  Duluth  from  Chi- 
cago late  in  February.  He  was  a  man 
of  more  than  average  intelligence. 

Aida  G  Messeberg. 

Aida  C,  wife  of  Gus  Messeberg,  one 
of  the  oldest  florists  of  Flatbush,  Brook- 
lyn, N.  Y.,  died  March  25  at  her  home, 
317  Snyder  avenue.  She  was  33  years 
of  age. 

Thomas  H.  Douglas. 

Thomas  H.  Douglas,  of  the  firm  of 
R.  Douglas'  Sons,  of  Waukegan,  died 
March  26,  at  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  of  heart 
failure.  Robert  Douglas,  the  father  of 
the  deceased,  was  a  nurseryman  of  na- 
tional reputation,  and  the  firm  still  does 
a  large  business  in  evergreens. 

Thomas  J.  Kirchner. 

Thomas  J.  Kirchner,  72  years  old, 
died  at  his  home  in  South  Euclid,  Cleve- 
land, 0.,  March  26.  He  has  been  in  the 
business    in    ClevelaTnd    for    fifty    years. 


He  came  here  sixty  years  ago  with  his 
father,  the  two  walking  from  Wheeling, 
W.  Va.  His  wife  came  from  the  same 
place  on  a  canal  boat.  He  leaves  a 
widow  and  five  children. 


ST.  LOUIS. 


Easter  Business. 

From  what  can  be  learned  from  the 
local  retailers  and  wholesalers,  this  Eas- 
ter was  a  record  breaker,  as  all  indica- 
tions point  to  a  phenomenal  sale  of 
plants  and  cut  flowers.  The  weather  was 
good,  with  bright  skies  Friday,  Saturday 
and  Sunday.  The  glut  early  in  the  week 
came  to  an  end  Saturday  and  prices  sud- 
denly went  up  on  almost  everything. 
Quite  a  lot  of  funeral  work  came  in  just 
when  it  was  not  wanted. 

The  sale  of  blooming  plants  was  great, 
especially  lilies,  and  not  enough  of  these 
were  on  hand  for  the  demand.  The  west 
end  establishments  were  early  sold  out 
of  lilies.  Some  of  the  floral  displays  in 
the  big  show  houses  were  of  the  highest 
type.  George  Waldbart's  and  Mrs. 
Ayers'  on  Grand  avenue  were  gorgeous 
sights;  so  were  the  displays  of  F.  C. 
Weber,  Miss  Newman,  F.  H.  Weber,  El- 
lison Floral  Co.,  J.  F.  Windt  and  Will- 
iam Kalisch  &  Sons.  These  places  were 
great  attractions  for  the  west  end  buyers. 

C.  Young  &  Sons  Co.  's  store  was  a 
great  sight  all  last  week.  The  downtown 
florists,  who  handle  fewer  plants,  made 
great  shows  of  cut  flowers.  The  south 
enders,  Schray,  Beyer,  Kruse,  Fillmore, 
Windier,  Bergsterman  and  the  Eggeling 
Floral  Co.,  are  more  than  pleased  with 
this  year's  Easter  trade. 

In  the  north  end,  Bentzen,  Huette- 
mann,  Brix,  Meinhardt,  the  Koenig  Flo- 
ral Co.  and  Rotter,  had  all  the  business 
they  could  handle. 

The  wholesalers  were  not  so  well 
pleased  the  early  part  of  last  week. 
Trade  was  light  and  the  big  glut  of  stock 
that  went  to  waste  was  not  much  to  their 
liking,  until  Saturday,  when  stock  be- 
came suddenly  in  demand  and  prices 
higher.  Sunday  was  a  great  disappoint- 
ment   to    the    local    buyers,    when    little

came  in  and  everybody  was  begging  for 
stock  at  greatly  increased  prices.  Vio- 
lets and  sweet  peas  had  a  great  call  Sun- 
day morning,  but  few  came  in  and  only 
half  of  the  orders  were  filled. 

This  month  quite  a  lot  of  trade  is 
looked  for.  as  a  number  of  big  wedding 
orders  are  booked.  April  1  was  Fool  b 
day  and  April  2  was  election  day.  There 
was  not  much  in  either  of  these  days 
for  the  florists.  The  plantsmen  are  look- 
ing for  a  big  month 's  business  in  bed- 
ding, with  plenty  of  orders  ahead  to 
keep  them  all  busy.  The  nurserymen, 
too,  have  all  they  can  do  at  present. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  J,  Karins,  representing  Henry  A. 
Dreer,  Philadelphia,  spent  Easter  week 
with  the  trade. 

Miss  Bell  Miller,  of  Springfield,  111., 
spent  a  day  here  last  week,  visiting  the 
local  commission  men  regarding  Easter 
stock.  • 

Walter  Betzer,  who  is  now  with  the 
St.  Louis  Seed  Co.,  reports  that  the 
firm's  business  is  large  and  all  hands 
working  overtime. 

Adolph  Brix  reports  that  he  has 
bought  the  ground  and  greenhouses  of 
Theodore  K  lockenkemper,  on  Mead  ave- 
nue. Mr.  Brix  has  been  running  the 
place  under  lease  for  some  time,  with 
Henry  Braun  as  foreman.  The  products 
of  the  place  are  large  and  of  good  qual- 
ity, and  supply  the  store  on  St.  Louis 
avenue. 

The  Foster  Floral  Co.  has  given  up 
the  new  location  at  612  Olive  street  and 
will  be  able  to  remain  at  the  old  place 
for  another  year. 

J.  F,  Ammann,  at  Edwardsville,  is 
building  a  new  house,  40x150,  which  is 
almost  completed.  His  retail  store  is 
having  a  fine  run  of  trade.  The  store  is 
in  charge  of  his  eldest  daughter. 

Hugo  Gross,  at  Kirkwood,  Mo.,  will 
start  at  once  to  build  six  new  houses  to 
be  used  for  carnations  and  violets.  Mr. 
Gross  has  had  great  success  this  season. 

W.  J.  Pilcher,  of  Kirkwood,  has  re- 
ceived a  large  lot  of  rooted  carnation 
cuttings  for  the  new  houses  he  will  build 
this  summer.  Mr.  Pilcher  helped  out 
Mrs.   Ayers  during   the   Easter  rush. 

Henry  Ostertag  was  in  a  smash-up  last 
week.    Luckily  no  bones  were  broken. 

George  Waldbart  has  had  a  hard  time 
keeping  himself  from  being  hemmed  in 
on  all  sides  with  rock  and  brick  from 
the  new  building  at  the  corner. 

Mrs.  Frank  M.  Ellis  will  leave  next 
week  to  join  her  husband  in  Panama. 
From  all  reports  Mr.  Ellis  has  fine  pros- 
pects there.  His  two  daughters  will  re- 
main here  for  a  while. 

Oscar  Huettemann,  whose  place  is  at 
Grand  and  Florissant  avenues,  was  driv- 
ing along  Grand  avenue  with  a  load  of 
blooming  plants,  when  some  one  called 
his  attention  to  a  fire  on  the  rear  of  his 
wagon.  It  destroyed  the  entire  load  of 
plants  and  badly  damaged  the  wagon. 
The  loss  was  about  $50. 

Miss  Schnell,  of  East  St.  Louis,  drives 
over  every  morning  in  her  new  wagon 
for  her  supply  of  cut  flowers.  Easter 
business  was  better  than  ever. 

The  Florists'  Club  meeting  will  take 
place  next  Thursday  afternoon  in  the 
Burlington  building.  The  annual  rose 
show  will  take  place,  at  which  $50  in 
prizes  are  offered.  There  will  be  a  dis- 
cussion on  Easter  trade.  The  trustees 
are  at  work  to  make  this  meeting  a  big 
success  and  the  attendance  large.  Every- 
body in  the  trade  is  invited  to  attend.

GERANIUM  COUNTESS. 

The  new  scarlet,  double-flowered, 
bronze-leaved  geranium.  Countess,  is  a 
sport  that  originated  with  W.  T.  Bell 
&  Sons,  of  Franklin,  Pa.,  about  three 
years  ago,  from  the  single,  bronze- 
leaved  geranium,  Earl  Eosslyn,  one  of 
the  best  of  its  class.  They  have  grown 
and  increased  it  since,  without  selling 
any,  and  believe  it  to  be  a  very  desir- 
able and  salable  novelty.  The  color  is 
bright  scarlet,  which  contrasts  more 
pleasantly  with  the  distinctly-zoned 
bronzy  foliage  than  do  the  salmon-col- 
ored flowers  of  some  of  the  other 
bronzes.  The  illustration  is  from  a  pho- 
tograph of  a  plant  growing  in  a  2-inch 
pot. 

BOSTON. 


The  Easter  Market. 

Another  Easter  has  come  and  gone 
and  again  the  verdict,  taking  all  things 
into    consideration,    is    that    it    was    the 


Geranium  Gsuntess. 


best  ever.  Weather  conditions  were  re- 
markable, being  more  like  those  of  June 
than  March  on  the  Friday  and  Saturday 
before  Easter.  Temperatures  of  75  to 
84  degrees  in  the  shade  were  hardly 
looked  for  and  such  hot  weather  nat- 
urally brought  in  a  tremendous  flood  of 
cut  flowers. 

The  fact  that  the  Easter  market  is  be- 
coming more  and  more  one  for  plants 
was  again  demonstrated  and  sales  of 
these  were  larger  than  ever,  prices  also 
showing  some  improvement.  Of  course, 
Easter  lilies  were  the  leaders  and  of 
these  there  proved  to  be  a  decided  short- 
age. Prices  which  had  been  121/^  to  15 
cents  per  bud  a  week  earlier  advanced  to 
20  cents  and  25  cents,  and  even  then  the 
supply  was  entirely  inadequate.  Those 
who  got  their  crops  in  season  are  in  good 
spirits.  Quite  a  few,  however,  were  a 
little  behind.  The  hot  weather,  how- 
ever, helped  these  considerably.  Next 
to  lilies,  azaleas  were  in  most  favor  and 
met  with  a  splendid  sale.  In  roses  pink 
ramblers  went  better  than  the  crimson 
ones.  Lady  Gay  and  Dorothy  Perkins 
being  much    in  evidence.      Many   of   the 


plants,  however,  carried  small  trusses 
and  were  evidently  fall  potted  stock. 
Those  grown  in  pots  from  the  previous 
spring  were  vastly  superior  in  every 
way  and  the  wonder  is  that  growers  will 
persist  in  the  former  method.  Some 
nice  Frau  Karl  Druschki,  Brunner  and 
other  hybrids  in  pots  were  seen. 

In  acacias,  the  variety  arraata  was 
rather  overdone.  Some  very  good  A. 
heterophylla  and  A.  Drummondi  were 
also  seen.  Pink  and  white  hydrangeas 
sold  well,  rhododendrons  only  moder- 
ately. Dutch  bulbous  stock  went  rather 
slowly.  Marguerite  Queen  Alexandra 
and  Astilbe  Japonica  grandiflora  and 
Gladstone  were  seen  at  many  stores. 
Genistas  sold  well.  Some  nice  Erica 
Caffra  densa  were  noted.  Among  flow- 
ering shrubs  pink  and  white  hawthornes, 
cherries,  deutzias  and  apples  were  nicely 
flowered.  There  was  a  fair  call  for 
palms  and  small  ferns. 

In  cut  flowers  cut  lilies  cleaned  out 
quickly  at  higher  prices  than  they  had 
realized  for  some  years.  Lilium  candi- 
dum  was  more  largely  seen  than  for  a 
decade.  About  every  grower,  however, 
had  the  poor,  narrow-petaled  variety 
which  is  but  a  ghost  of  the  northern- 
grown,  broad-petaled  one.  Prices  on  the 
candidums  were  5  to  6  cents  per  flower. 
Eoses  were  ample  for  all  needs.  On 
Beauties  $8  to  $9  per  dozen  were  top 
prices,  from  that  down  to  $25  per  hun- 
dred. There  was  a  good  supply  of  these, 
Richmond,  Killarney,  Bride,  Maid,  Wel- 
lesley,  Chatenay  and  Morgan  all  showed 
up  well;  but  little  advance  on  current 
prices  was  made.  A  few  nice  Safrano 
and  Bon  Silene  were  seen,  but  few  good 
hybrids.  Carnations  made  no  advance. 
In  fact,  towards  the  close  of  Saturday's 
market  many  were  unsold.  Ruling  rates 
were  $4  to  $5  for  good,  ordinary  stock 
and  $6  to  $8  for  fancies.  A  good  many 
were,  however,   cleared  at   lower  figures. 

Violets,  owing  to  the  hot  weather, 
were  in  enormous  supply.  The  heat  took 
considerable  odor  out  of  the  singles  and 
made  them  go  to  sleep  quickly.  It  was 
not  a  first-class  market  on  these.  Top 
price  was  75  cents.  Many  went  at  50 
cents  and  poor  stock  lower.  English 
primroses  w^re  overabundant  and  hard 
to  sell.  Marguerites  went  quickly  at 
from  $1  to  $2.50  per  hundred.  Sweet 
peas  were  fine  and  sold  extremely  well 
at  $1  and  $1.50  per  hundred.  Bulbous 
stock  was  in  heavy  oversupply  and  much 
could  not  be  sold  at  any  price.  Nar- 
cissus poeticus  sold  the  best  in  this  class. 
Valley  was  in  good  supply,  the  quality 
being  excellent.  Sales  were  fairly  good. 
There  was  a  good  variety  of  miscella- 
neous flowers.  Of  these  ranunculi  and 
anemones  sold  well,  as  did  Spanish  iris. 
Mignonette,  stocks  and  snapdragons  were 
all  inclined  to  be  druggy.  There  was  a 
very  good  sale  for  smilax,  asparagus  and 
other  greenery. 

Summing  up  the  cut  flower  market, 
everything  was  in  abundant  supply  but 
lilies  and  the  hot  wave  and  consequent 
heavy  cuts  kept  prices  down  to  a  mod- 
erate level.  More  flowers  were  unsold 
than  in  1906,  but  about  all  were  of  the 
cheaper  grades. 

Various  Notes. 

The  closing  lecture  of  the  season  at 
Horticultural  hall,  March  30,  drew  out 
an  audience  which  packed  the  lecture 
hall.  John  K.  M.  L.  Farquhar's  lecture 
on  "Gardens  of  Italy"  was  the  attrac- 
tion. 

William  H.  Elliott  has  just  closed  a

dwelling  is  included.  Tempting  offers 
made  since  the  deal  went  through  show 
that  Mr,  Elliott  has  made  a  safe  pur- 
chase. 

Waban  Conservatories  had  a  heavy  cut 
of  American  Beauties  for  Easter.  They 
will  grow  Killarney  more  extensively  an- 
other year.  A  pure  white  sport  of  this 
popular  rose  is  one  of  Mr.  Montgom- 
ery's finds  this  season. 

Peirce  Bros,  could  have  sold  some 
thousands  more  longiflorums  last  week. 
They  grew  several  thousand  candidums, 
which  came  in  right  for  Easter. 

William  Nicholson  had  10,000  mar- 
guerite flowers,  which,  as  usual,  '  *  sold 
like  hot  cakes,"  March  30. 

The  banquet  of  the  Gardeners'  and 
Florists'  Club  will  be  held  at  Horticul- 
tural hall  April  24.  Tickets  can  be  had 
from  the  officers  and  members  of  the 
executive  committee. 

The  New  England  Dahlia  Society  will 
offer  over  $500  in  special  prizes  at  its 
show  in  Boston  in  September. 

B.  &  J.  Farquhar  &  Co.  showed  a  large 
and  well  flowered  specimen  of  Pelargo- 
nium Mme.  Thibaut  at  Horticultural  hall 
March  30,  which  received  honorable  men- 
tion. 

Welch  Bros,  sold  about  twice  as  many 
plants  as  on  any  previous  Easter.  Their 
shipping  trade  in  cut  flowers  was  also 
of  immense  proportions  and  beats  all 
past  records. 

W.  H.  Elliott  had  a  grand  lot  of 
Killarney  and  Eichmond  roses  from  his 
Madbury,  N.  H.,  establishment. 

Carbone  had  some  fine  Pink  Pearl  rho- 
dodendrons for  Easter,  also  gardenias, 
Crataegus  and  excellent  Dorothy  Perkins 
roses. 

At  Doyle's,  Acacia  heterophylla  was 
seen  in  excellent  shape,  also  well  flow- 
ered cherries  and  other  shrubs. 

H.  M.  Bobinson  &  Co.  did  a  heavy 
cut  flower  trade  for  their  first  Easter 
and  had  a  big  call  for  hardy  ferns  and 
other  greenery. 

One  of  the  best  arranged  Easter  win- 
dows was  that  of  Sidney  Hoffman,  on 
Massachusetts  avenue,  who  handled  a 
big  lot  of  splendid  stock.  His  trade 
shows  a  steady  increase. 

The  Boston  Sunday  Herald  of  March 
31  estimated  Boston's  Easter  sales  of 
plants  and  flowers  at  about  $400,000. 

The  Bay  State  Nurseries  are  having  an 
exceptionally  busy  season  and  are  keep-

TARRYTOWN.  N.  Y. 

The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the 
Tarrytown  Horticultural  Society  was  held 
March  26,  President  Howard  Nichols  in 
the  chair.  There  were  two  elected  to 
active  membership  and  three  nomina- 
tions. Wadsworth  Lewis  offers  a  silver 
pitcher  to  be  competed  for  at  the  fall 
show  and  Mrs.  George  Lewis  offers  a 
silver  cup.  Julius  Boehrs  Co.  offers  $25 
for  the  best  table  of  orchids;  H.  A. 
Dreer  $10  for  the  best  collection  of  stove 
plants,  and  the  F.  B.  Pierson  Co.  a  sil- 
ver cup  worth  $25  for  carnations.  Pres- 
ident Howard  Nichols  puts  up  $10  for 
the  best  six  pot  plants  of  chrysanthe- 
mums, pots  not  to  exceed  seven  inches. 
The  executive  committee  reported  on 
the  schedule  for  the  fall  show  and  sug- 
gested a  few  minor  alterations  from  last 
year.     It  was  voted  to  print  a  prelimi- 


nary schedule  and  mail  it  to  members. 
The  complete  schedule  is  to  be  printed 
as  soon  as  the  secretary  receives  all  the 
special  prizes. 

The  monthly  prize  for  the  best  dis- 
play of  flowering  plants  and  cut  blooms 
was  awarded  to  D.  McFarlane,  as  was 
also  a  certificate  of  merit  for  the  same 
exhibit.  A  certificate  of  merit  was 
awarded  James  Ballantyne  for  his  ex- 
hibit, w'hich  consisted  mostly  of  Cinera- 
ria stellata  and  bulbous  stock  shown  in 
pots  and  pans.  The  exhibits  made  a 
very  effective  display  and  were  favor- 
ably commented  upon.  A  paper  on 
*  *  Hardy  Outdoor  Boses ' '  was  read  by 
D.  McFarlane  and  was  freely  discussed.

The  Easter  Market. 

Easter,  the  greatest  of  all  days  in  the 
flower  business,  has  again  passed  into 
history;  and  what  a  name  it  has  made 
for  itself  this  year!  Never  have  we  had 
such  an  Easter,  and  let  us  hope  that  we 
will  never  have  another  like  it.  From 
the  point  of  view  of  the  amount  of  busi- 
ness done,  it  was  the  best  we  ever  have 
had,  but  the  conditions  which  prevailed 
during  Easter  week  were  such  as  never 
have  had  a  duplicate  in  the  history  of 
the  business  in  this  city.  From  what  I 
have  heard,  the  conditions  prevailing 
here  were  the  same  as  prevailed  in  most 
of  the  large  flower  centers. 

The  summer-like  weather  for  three 
weeks  brought  in  all  kinds  of  flowers 
with  a  rush  and  right  up  to  Friday 
night  there  was  a  big  glut  on  the  mar- 
ket, of  most  all  varieties  of  flowers, 
with  the  possible  exception  of  lilies. 
The  hot  weather  had  made  everything 
so  soft  that  it  could  not  be  sent  out  by 
the  wholesale  men  and  the  home  store- 
men  would  not  buy  it.  The  quantity  of 
stock  which  found  itself  in  the  ash 
barrel  was  enormous.  The  bulbous 
flowers  suffered  the  heaviest  and  thou- 
sands of  this  class  of  stock  proved  ab- 
solutely worthless  and  a  total  loss.  Car- 
nations and  roses,  too,  were  not  far  be- 
hind. It  was  simply  impossible  to  hold 
them.  Many  growers  who  were  up  to 
their  usual  tricks  of  pickling  stock  sent 
in  shipments  which  were  thrown  into 
the  ash  barrel  as  soon  as  received.  In 
some  cases  they  were  positively  rotten. 
The  enormous  amount  of  stock  sent  to 
the  wholesale  houses  in  this  city  was 
without  parallel  in  the  history  of  this 
market.  But  with  all  of  this  there  was 
enough  good  stock  to  roll  up  a  business 
which  sets  a  new  high-water  mark. 

The  retail  men  report  a  fine  trade  and 
the  demand  for  plants  has  never  been 
better.  Easter  lilies  carried  off  the 
palm  and,  while  at  first  it  looked  a.§  if 
there  would  be  too  many  of  them,  at 
the  last  minute  many  more  could  have 
been  sold  to  good  advantage.  Sweet 
peas  were  also  first-class  property  and 
those  which  arrived  in  good  shape  were 
sold  out  in  a  hurry.  There  were  large 
quantities  of  both  roses  and  carnations 
which  were  good  and  fresh  and  this 
stock  was  disposed  of  with  a  rush. 

Various  Notes. 

J,  Charles  McCullough,  whom  the  re- 
cent flood  of  the  Ohio  compelled  to  move 
from  his  warehouses  and  retail  store  at 
Walnut  and  Second  streets,  is  again 
doing  business  in  his  regular  offices  as 
if   nothing  had   happened.     This   makes 


two  times  this  year  that  he  was  obliged 
to  move  on  account  of  high  water  and 
it  entailed  a  great  deal  of  work  and  a 
considerable  loss  of  money. 

Thf  growers  in  the  Jabez  Elliot 
flower  market  had  their  usual  good  busi- 
ness. Easter  is  always  the  greatest  day 
of  the  y«ar  in  this  market  and  this  year 
everyone  sold  out  clean  and  general  sat- 
isfaction is  the  result.  The  plant  trade 
here  was  satisfactory. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  Florists'  So- 
ciety will  be  held  in  the  club  rooms  Sat- 
urday evening,  April  13.  It  is  expected 
that  this  will  be  an  interesting  meeting 
and  that  a  good  number  of  the  members 
will  be  present.  C.  J.  Ohmer. 


NET  YORK. 


TheVUAtL 


The  Easter  of  1907  was  in  many 
ways  the  most  remarkable  of  a  quarter 
of  a  century.  For  a  week  before  and 
right  up  to  Sunday  night,  the  weather 
was  as  mild,  and  sunny,  and  delightful 
as  the  springtime  ever  brings.  At  times 
the  temperature  was  close  to  80  de- 
grees in  the  sun.  But  what  proved  so 
great  an  advantage  to  the  local  growers 
with  belated  crops,  became  a  menace 
through  the  southern  shipments,  and 
all  the  narcissi  and  other  flowers  from 
the  sunny  south  arrived,  and  as  many 
of  the  wholesalers  expressed  it,  melted. 
Nearly  every  box  of  these  was  con- 
signed to  the  discard,  for  not  a  dollar 
could  be  realized  on  them. 

The  weather  was  no  small  factor  in 
the  V.  remarkably  low  prices  that  pre- 
vailed. For  once  the  retailer  was  king. 
There  was  enough  of  everything  and  to 
spare.  Prices  for  cut  flowers  at  Easter 
were  never  so  low.  Quality,  owing  to 
the  long  spell  of  hot  weather  and  the 
activity  of  the  pickling  industry,  was 
■  below  the  average.  Pickling  was  cer- 
tainly again  in  evidence — lots  of  it. 
Protests  are  of  no  avail.  Even  violets 
were  held  over  and  such  stock  was 
cleaned  out,  as  it  deserved  to  be,  at 
the  lowest  Easter  prices  ever  known. 
There  must  have  been  two  million  vio- 
lets shipped  to  New  York  Saturday.  I 
saw  over  seventy  boxes  delivered  at  one 
wholesale  house  in  one  shipment  and 
this  was  duplicated  in  the  case  of  many. 
The  actual  total  of  violets  received  in 
New  York  on  Friday  and  Saturday  no 
man  can  number.  A  few  sold  at  60 
cents,  but  50  cents  was  generally  top^ 
and  so  on  down  to  as  low  as  $2  per 
thousand.  The  streets  were  blue  with 
them.  Whoever  heard  of  violets  on  the 
street  at  Easter  before? 

Beauties  never  got  above  $30  per 
hundred.  The  bulk  of  them  were  sold 
at  $25.  Bichmond,  Chatenay  and  Jacq. 
sold  well.  Bride  and  Maid  seldom  got 
above  $10  per  hundred  and  this  price 
only  for  the  choicest.  The  average  was 
$6  to  $8,  and  so  on  down  to  $2.  In 
fact,  the  pickled  and  mildewed  stuff 
was  offered  as  low  as  $10  per  thousand 
before  midnight   Saturday, 

Orchids  were  in  good  demand  and 
supply  was  limited,  for  large  shipments 
to  other  cities  depleted  the  market. 
Values  were  firm  and  quality  and 
variety  were  satisfactory.  Gardenias  did 
not  sell  up  to  expectations. 

There  were  too  many  white  carnations 
and  too  much  valley.  The  novelties  and 
the  best  of  the  new  varieties  of  carna- 
tions brought  $6  to  $8  per  hundred,  $4 
for   the   Lawson   grade    and   $2   for   the

rest  of  them.     Valley  never  rose  above 

$2.50. 

Lilies  after  all  could  not  climb  to  20 
cents.  A  few  were  sold  on  Saturday  at 
15  cents.  The  general  price  was  12 
cents  and  at  this  figure  nine-tenths  of 
the  stock  was  sold.  There  was  no  sur- 
plus.    Every  plant  and  flower  was  sold. 

Smilax,  which  could  have  been  well 
sold  earlier  in  the  week,  was  held  back, 
Avith  the  inevitable  result  of  lower  prices 
in  the  end. 

As  to  the  rest  of  the  cut  flower  stock, 
the  less  said  the  better.  Hyacinths, 
tulips,  narcissi,  daisies  and  mignonette 
were  all  in  the  same  class.  Barrels  of 
them  joined  the  procession  to  the  bone- 
yard  on  Monday. 

After  a  Aveek  of  summer,  a  down- 
pour of  rain  began  Sunday  evening. 
But  the  day  itself  was  perfect.  The 
great  parade  was  a  wonderful  exhibit 
of  flowers,  for  the  buying  from  the 
retailers  was  universal.  With  the  ma- 
jority not  a  perfect  plant  remained, 
nor  a  flower  unsold.  It  was  the  best 
Easter  the  retailer  has  ever  known. 
Prices  were  about  the  same  to  his  cus- 
tomers as  other  years  and  his  profits 
were  far  more  satisfactory.  For  his 
plants  he  paid  about  as  usual  and  he 
sold  them  all.  The "  depression  among 
the  Wall  street  people  was  not  as  great 
as  feared.  The  great  mass  of  our 
4,000,000  population  have  been  pros- 
perous and  their  increasing  numbers 
more  than  atoned  for  the  society  defi- 
ciency. The  retailer  who  did  not  wear 
a  smile  Sunday  evening  was  too  weary 
from  his  forty-eight  hour  vigil.  It  is  a 
good  thing  for  every  department  of  the 
business  when  the  retailer  is  prosperous. 
After  a  rather  serious  winter  this  in- 
terlude is  sweet  music,  for  it  means  paid 
obligations,  restored  confidence  and 
capital  for  further  enterprise. 

The  wholesaler  carried  the  greatest 
burden  of  anxiety  this  Easter,  for  he 
was  "between  the  devil  and  the  deep 
sea,"  the  devil  of  the  pickler  and  the 
deep  sea  of  overproduction.  He  man- 
aged to  steer  his  bark  safely  into  har- 
bor. The  pickled  stuff  was  lost.  The 
big  shipments  were  disposed  of  at  fair 
prices.  The  grower,  if  he  came  to  town 
on  Saturday,  saw  these  middlemen,  now 
so  indispensable,  on  duty  all  night  long 
studying  hia  interests,  realizing  all 
they  could  honestly  ask  for  his  products 
and  tireless  in  attention  to  duty  and 
the  interests  of  their  customers.  The 
grower  for  the  New  York  market  has 
the  best  outlet  for  his  commodities  in 
the  world,  for  nearly  fifty  reliable 
wholesalers  are  at  his  call,  ready  to 
afford  him  facilities  for  selling  to  the 
best  advantage.  To  be  assured  of  value 
for  his  goods  there  is  only  one  de- 
sideratum necessary,  quality,  and  witn 
this  once  demonstrated  there  can  only 
be   one   result,   success   and   competence. 

The  plant  growers  are  all  on  "easy 
street"  and  ready  for  future  achieve- 
ments, with  plenty  of  room  at  their 
disposal  for  Memorial  day  material. 
They  have  sold  out  completely.  Their 
prices  were  fair  and  the  quality  of  their 
offerings  up  to  if  not  a  little  ahead  of 
any  other  year.  New  York  has  taken 
nearly  everything  grown  that  had  the 
trade-mark  of  quality,  and  always  will. 
There  are  no  plant  growers  in  the  world 
that  are  capable  of  producing  better 
stock  than  those  within  a  radius  of 
twenty-five  miles  of  this  big  city  and  to 
specify  without  including  every  one  of 
them   would   be    unfair    to     all.      Their 


names  are  household  words  in  American 
floriculture.  You  can't  beat  'em.  Next 
year  Easter  arrives  three  weeks  later, 
April  19.  This  is  a  good  time. to  begin 
preparing  for  it. 

Following  the  rainstorm  of  Easter 
night  came  one  more  blizzard,  and 
Monday  morning  early  risers  found  the 
temperature  down  near  freezing  again 
and  the  ground  covered  with  snow. 
Every  orthodox  florist  saw  in  this  a 
distinct  and  personal  interposition  of 
providence  and  it  certainly  looks  that 
way.  If  Saturday  and  Sunday  had 
seen  the  storm  of  Sunday  night  it  would 
have  meant  a  loss  to  the  florists  of  at 
least  a  million  dollars. 

Wholesaledom     was     as     quiet     as     a

cemetery  on  Monday.  Prices  fell  con- 
siderably, with  the  tendency  still  down- 
ward. I  wouldn't  be  surprised,  as  the 
weather  grows  mild  and  sunny,  to  see 
Beauties  fall  to  $15  per  hundred  and 
Brides  to  $6  and  under  before  the 
week  is  over.  This  is  gentle  spring's 
last  linger  in  the  lap  of  winter. 

Variotu  Notes. 

On  Wednesday  of  this  week  at  Craw- 
ford, N.  J.,  Miss  Ollie,  daughter  of 
Charles  Weathered,  will  be  married  to 
one  of  New  York's  popular  scions  of 
the  400,  a  most  estimable  gentleman. 
The  young  lady  has  the  congratulations 
of  her  father's  many  friends  in  the 
New  York  Florists'  Club  and  out  of  it. 

The  club's  rose  meeting  and  ladies' 
night  will  be  celebrated  Monday  even- 
ing, April  8.  This  should  bring  out  the 
banner  attendance  of  the  year.  A  lot 
of  surprises  are  in  store  for  .all  who 
come.  Rose  exhibits  may  be  sent  in 
care  of  Secretary  Young.  Some  of  the 
latest  rose  acquisitions  will  be  seen. 
Perhaps  the  one  Mr.  Siebrecht  has 
named  Mrs.  Theodore  Eoosevelt,  and 
possibly  Gumey  Hill  may  not  forget  us. 

Ralph  M.  Ward  &  Co.  have  just  se- 
cured the  sole  agency  in  this  country  for 
the  big  bulb  house  of  Martial  Bremond, 
of  Ollioules,  France,  one  of  the  largest 
bulb  exporters  of  Europe. 

Siebrecht  &  Son  have  just  succeeded 


in  transplanting  safely  the  largest  tree 
they  say  ever  was  moved  in  this  or  any 
other  country. 

The  Reliable  Ribbon  Co.  is  a  new  en- 
terprise, factory  at  Bayonne,  salesroom 
at  46  West  Twenty-eighth  street.  The 
ribbon  field  is  widening  every  year, 
never  more  in  evidence  than  this  Easter, 
when  every  plant  and  basket  depended 
upon  chiffon  and  plaid  and  multi- 
colored ribbon  effects  to  accentuate  its 
beauty  and  completeness. 

R.  Haffner  has  moved  to  a  handsome 
store  at  One  Hundred  and  Forty-first 
street,  in  Harlem,  on  Alexander  avenue. 
This  section  of  the  Bronx  above  the 
Harlem  river  is  fast  developing  into  one 
of  the  best  suburbs  of  the  big  city. 

Last  Monday  Willie  Bogart  suffered 
a  great  bereavement  in  the  loss  of  his 
little  daughter,  at  538  West  One  Hun- 
dred and  Fifty-ninth  street.  He  has  the 
sympathy  of  all  in  the  trade. 

C.  W.  Ward's  family  are  on  their 
way  home  from  a  pleasant  outing  in 
Jamaica,  West  Indies.  At  last  accounts 
a  tropical  storm  was  delaying  their  de- 
parture  in  the  harbor, 

W.  H.  Donohoe  had  an  especially 
handsome  affair  last  week,  in  house  and 
church,  in  which  a  noble  lord  partici- 
pated. 

Retail  windows  last  week  exceeded 
anything  ever  seen  before  in  beautiful 
effects  and  many  of  the  decorations 
were  strikingly  original.  On  Saturday 
night  one  of  the  Broadway  stores  had 
in  its  center  window  a  large  electric 
cross  with  floral  base  and  adornment 
that  was  drawing  the  crowds  all  the 
evening.  Masses  of  color  were  the  pre- 
vailing plan,  in  one  store  a  group  of 
handsome  azaleas,  in  another  only 
American  Beauties,  in  another  genistas 
and  acacias  and  so  on  all  over  the  city, 
some  distinctive  flower  or  color  giving 
attractiveness  to  the  display.  Added  to 
these  were  novelties  in  trunks,  boxes, 
vases,  autos,  ornaments  of  Easter  sig- 
nificance, all  combining  to  make  the  oc- 
casion of  special  interest  to  the  multi- 
tudes and  especially  to  the  excursion- 
ists, of  whom  it  was  declared  a  half  a 
million  were  in  the  city  to  celebrate 
the  holiday.  J.  Austin  Shaw. 

Horticultural  Society.

Horticultural  Society  of  New  York  will

There  were  5,608  boxes  of  window 
glass,  of  100  square  feet  each,  on  the 
last  boat  from  Antwerp. 

An  interesting  paragraph  has  been 
going  the  rounds  of  the  daily  papers 
quoting  "one  of  the  officials  of  the  De- 
partment of  Agriculture"  on  the  exact- 
ness with  which  growers  time  their 
greenhouse  crops.  He  is  made  to  say 
that  this  art  is  now  down  so  fine  that 
churches  can  be  decorated  Saturday 
fiight  with  lilies  in  bud  so  nicely  timed 
that  they  burst  into  full  bloom  Easter 
morning ! 


Easter,  1908,  falls  on  April  19,  three 
weeks  later  than  this  year. 

A  PRINTED  letter-head  commands  re- 
spect; better  see  your  local  printer  about 
it  today. 

The  retailers  have  before  them  three 
of  the  busiest  and  most  profitable 
months  of  the  year. 

The  early  date  of  Easter  gives  us  a 
longer  season  than  usual  for  the  bed- 
ding plant  business,  which  culminates 
with  a  rush  at  Memorial  day. 

Seekers  after  novelties  should  keep 
their  eyes  on  the  pages  of  the  Eeview 
devoted  to  European  advertisements. 
Practically  all  novelties  are  offered  there 
as  soon  as  stock  is  ready. 

The  unseasonably  warm  weather  for 
the  last  half  of  March  cost  the  trade 
a  great  many  thousands  of  dollars.  Not 
only  did  it  make  a  surplus,  but  much 
material  was  of  unsalable  quality. 

The  secretary  of  the  Chrysanthemum 
Society  of  America  has  issued  a  neat 
pamphlet  containing  the  proceedings  of 
the  annual  meetings  of  1905  and  1906, 
together  with  a  list  of  the  varieties  of 
chrysanthemums  introduced  in  1906. 

The  consignment  of  cut  lilies  from 
Bermuda  to  reach  New  York  this  year 
was  only  250  cases  of  sixty  blooms 
each,  instead  of  2,000  to  3,000  cases  as 
in  other  years.  The  stock  usually  pene- 
trates to  the  ^Mississippi  valley,  and 
even  to  the  Missouri,  through  the 
agency  •  of  the  express  companies  and 
customs  forwarders  to  whom  it  is  con- 
signed, but  this  year  little  of  it  got  out- 
side of  New  York  and  Brooklyn,  mak- 
ing no  appreciable  impression  on  the 
market  in  either  city. 


QUICK  RETURNS. 

Bequests  like  the  following,  from  a 
large  firm  of  mail  order  plantsmen,  fre- 
quently come  to  the  Review: 

' '  As  soon  as  this  week 's  Eeview  is 
out,  send  us  one  by  special  delivery;  en- 
closed find  stamps. ' ' 

Highly  as  such  people  may  value  the 
literary  features  of  the  paper,  you  may 
safely  bet  your  bottom  dollar  it  is  the 
advertising  they  are  in  such  haste  to  see. 
Because  buyers  are  watching  for  the  ar- 
rival of  the  Review,  e\-«ry  now  and  then 
some  advertiser  writes  that  he  received 
telegraphic  orders  before  the  mail  had 
brought  his  own  copy  of  the  paper  con- 
taining his   advertisement. 

Buyers  have  not  failed  to  note  that 
the  Review  presents  always  the  most 
advertising  in  all  lines. 


EXPRESS  COMPANIES  BARRED. 


Cannot  Buy  or  Sell  Merchandise.  * 

The  Wells-Fargo  Express  Co.  has  re- 
cently issued  instructions  to  its  em- 
ployes that  they  must  not  hereafter  un- 
dertake to  conduct,  in  their  own  names 
or  the  name  of  the  company,  any  mer- 
chandise business.  This  is  the  first  step 
by  any  of  the  express  concerns  to  clear 
their  skirts  in  connection  with  the 
charges  that  they  have  been  improperly 
engaging  in  competition  with  the  com- 
mission merchants  and  other  dealers  in 
their  territory  by  handling  fruits  and 
other  commodities  in  their  own  name, 
and  in  the  purchase  and  sale  of  mer- 
chandise for  patrons. 

The   Interstate   Commerce  Commission 


inclines  to  believe  it  has  power  enough 
under  the  present  law  to  prevent  the 
companies  continuing  this  business,  and 
has  issued  an  order  for  hearings  to  de- 
termine the  nature  and  extent  of  the 
practice. 

At  certain  seasons  of  the  year  the  ex- 
press companies  have  been  large  handlers 
of  outdoor  flowers,  especially  of  cape 
jasmines, 

SPRING  WAKING. 

A  Snowdrop  lay  In  the  sweet,  dark  ground. 

"Come  out,"  said  the  Sun;    "come  out!" 
But  she  lay  quite  still  and  she  heard  no  sound. 

"Asleep,"  said  the  Sun,   "no  doubt!" 

The  Snowdrop  heard,  for  she  raised  her  head. 

"Look  spry,"  said  the  Sun,  "look  spry!" 
"It's     warm,"     said    the    Snowdrop,     "here    In 
bed." 

"Oh,   fle!"   said  the  Sun,    "Oh,  fie!" 

"You  call  too  soon,  Mr.  Sun,  you  do!" 
"No,  no,"  said  the  Sun,   "Oh,  no!" 

"There's  nothing   above,   and  I  can't  see 
through." 
"It's  snow,"  said  the  Sun,   "just  snow." 

"But  I  say,  Mr.  Sun,  are  the  Robins  here?" 

"Maybe,"  said  the  Sun,   "maybe." 
"There    wasn't    a    bird    when    you    called    last 
year." 

"Come  out,"  said  the  Sun,   "and  see!" 

The  Snowdrop  sighed,   for  she  liked   her  nap. 

And  there  wasn't  a  bird  in  sight; 
But  she  popped  out  of  bed  In  her  white  night- 
cap. 

"That's  right,"   said   the  Sun,   "that's  right!" 

And,  soon  as  that  small  night-cap  was  seen, 

A   Robin  began  to  sing; 
The  air  grew  warm,  and  the  grass  turned  green. 
"  'Tls     Spring!"     laughed     the     Sun;        "  'tis 
spring!"

AZALEA  HEXE. 


Writers  in  the  Review,  especially 
William  Scott,  have  several  times  said 
a  word  in  commendation  of  Azalea 
Hexe.  Here  is  a  recent  comment  by  a 
London   contemporary : 

' '  Azalea  amoena  Hexe  is  a  useful  and 
beautiful  azalea,  and,  as  it  blooms  with 
the  utmost  freedom  in  small  pots,  it 
promises  to  become  a  popular  market 
variety.  For  conservatory  decoration, 
and  for  vases  in  rooms,  this  is  a  charm- 
ing azalea.  It  has  the  good,  bushy  habit 
of  A.  amoDna,  but  it  has  larger  leafage 
than  the  type  and  much  larger  flowers. 
Moreo\'«r,  the  flowers  are  of  a  rich  but 
soft  rose-red  shade  and  have  none  of 
that  magenta-jjurple  coloring  that  so 
many  people  dislike  in  A.  amoena  proper. 
The  flowers  of  A.  Hexe  are  of  the 
calyciflora  or  hose-in-hose  character; 
there  is,  so  to  speak,  a  corolla  placed  in- 
side a  corolla,  but  they  are  fitted  closely 
together,  and  thus  make  a  t)eautiful 
rather  than  merely  an  interesting 
flower. ' ' 

A  CUT-LEAVED  CYRTOMIUM. 

Cyrtomium  falcatum  Rochfordi  is  an 
old  friend  in  a  new  dress,  and  a  very 
elegant  dress  it  is,  says  an  English  con- 
temporary. Every  reader  knows  that 
C.  falcatum  is  almost  hardy,  and  that 
as  a  cool  greenhouse  fern,  for  house  dec- 
oration, it  is  one  of  the  best  tempered 
of  plants.  The  newcomer  is  like  the 
good  old  type  in  habit  and  hardiness, 
but  each  division  of  its  fronds  is  ele- 
gantly cut  and  fringed.  The  new  fern 
cannot  fail  to  become  popular,  as  it  is 
a  plant  every  one  will  be  able  to  grow, 
and  it  is  also  handsome.  It  was  re- 
cently given  a  first-class  certificate  when 
exhibited  before  the  Royal  Horticultural 
Society  by  T.  Rochford  &  Sons,  Turn- 
ford  Hall,  Broxbourne.

CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market. 

The  volume  of  Kaster  Vjusini'ss  cer- 
tainly exceedetl  anything  in  the  previous 
history  of  the  Chicago  market,  but  the 
aggregate  money  value  of  sales  for  the 
week  does  not  make  a  larger,  if,  indeed, 
so  large  a  sum  as  in  1906.  The  tre- 
mendous quantity  of  poor  stock  resulted 
in  the  lowest  average  Easter  prices 
within  the  recollection  of  any  of  the 
wholesalers.  Most  of  the  wholesalers  had 
money  receipts  comparing  well  with  those 
of  a  year  ago  for  the  three  <lays  pre- 
ceding Easter,  but  the  early  days  of  the 
week  were  nothing  like  as  good. 

The  surplus  of  stock,  which  had  main- 
tained for  ten  days,  included  practically 
all  lines.  The  only  item  of  which  it 
may  be  said  that  there  was  no  oversuj)- 
I>ly  was  good  lilies.  As  had  been  pre- 
dicted, there  were  short  lilies  which  it 
was  not  possible  to  sell,  but  by  Friday 
good  stock  had  been  pretty  well  cleaned 
up.  However,  the  demand  had  been 
pretty  well  satisfied  and  there  was  no 
•  all  which  warranted  an  advance  in  price. 
Callas  were  received  in  thousands,  and 
a  large  part  of  them  were  lost. 

The  weather  was  responsible  for  ev- 
erything ill  that  happened  at  Easter.  It 
is  to  be  blamed  for  the  surplus  of  stock, 
and  also  for  the  fact  that  quality  aver- 
aged the  poorest  that  it  has  in  any  re- 
'•ent  year.  Only  a  small  part  of  the  re- 
<'eipts  came  anywhere  near  meeting  ox- 
acting  requirements.  Taking  the  total 
receipts  of  the  market,  it  probably  is  not 
an  exaggeration  to  say  that  nine-tenths 
«f  the  stock  was  below  the  quality  nec- 


essary for  shipping.  The  result  was  tliat 
all  good  stock,  capable  of  standing  ji 
journey  or  equal  to  the  needs  of  the 
first-class  stores,  brought  first-class 
prices.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  there 
was  no  bottom  to  tiie  market,  the  best 
goods  brought  iiigher  i)rices  than  a  year 
ago.  This  was  particularly  true  of  roses. 
Heauty  fared  no  better  tlian  the  other 
varieties,  as  the  supply  of  long,  fancy 
stock  was  sucii  as  to  leave  some  to  be 
sacrificed.  However,  Saturday  night 
found  the  market  fairly  well  cleaned  up 
on  roses. 

The  inundation  of  carnations  was 
something  wholly  beyond  expectations. 
8o  large  a  i)art  of  the  stock  was  soft, 
and  so  many  of  the  growers  had  bunched 
sleepy  flowers  with  fresh  ones,  that 
really  good  stuff  brought  fair  prices,  but 
there  were  a  great  nuiny  thousands  on 
which  the  buyer  made  the  going  price. 
Saturday  night  found  many  left  on  han<l, 
especially  white,  and  Sunday  did  not 
serve  to  clear  the  market.  The  average 
will  be  much  below  last  j-ear;  some 
wholesalers  say  half. 

Probably  the  growers  wlio  will  put  up/ 
the  strongest  protest  are  the  Rhinebcck 
violet  producers.  For  some  reason, 
prooably  the  hot  weather  again,  the 
stock  did  not  travel  well;  it  rotted  on 
the  way.  Orders  for  many  thousands 
had  been  booked  at  satisfactory  prices, 
but  the  retailers  refused  lo  accept  de- 
livery because  of  the  quality  of  the 
stock.  The  result  was  that  buyers  not 
critical  of  quality  made  their  own  price 
on  as  much  of  the  stock  as  they  could 
use,  and  the  rest  went  to  the  waste 
barrel.  Probably  150,000  to  200,000 
failed  of  a  sale  and  many  boxes  of  2,000 


to  :{,(l()(l  were  Hold  at  .+2  each.  Tiie  av- 
erage returns  will  be  the  lowest  ever 
iciorded  for  Easter,  but  it  woukl  have 
liccn  ditt'erent  if  the  quality  had  been 
iKceptable,  so  there  is  no  one  to  blame. 
The  flood  of  bulbous  stock  was  en- 
tirely beyond  control.  Add  to  the  ex- 
cessively heavy  receipts  of  greenhouse 
stock,  the  hundreds  of  cases  of  southern 
narcissi,  and  it  made  a  bulk  of  material 
wholly  beyond  the  possibility  of  a  ma/- 
kel.  There  Avere  scores  of  cases  of  south- 
ern outdoor  stutt"  which  had  not  been 
njx'ned  Saturday  evening  and  which  were 
given  to  the  hospitals  Sunday  or 
dumpdl   Monday  morning. 

One  of  the  additions  to  the  list  of 
Kaster  fiowcrs  was  tiie  lilac.  Not  within 
the  memory  of  man  has  lilac  reached  this 
market  so  early  as  this  year.  Tlie  first 
sliipnicnts  seen  came  in  Alonday,  March 
2."),  and  sold  well  because  of  tiie  nov- 
elty. By  Thursday  and  Friday  every 
house  in  town  was  choked  with  lilac 
shipments.  Ft  looked  like  the  middle  of 
May.  Some  of  the  good  stock  sold,  but 
the  bulk  of  it  Avent  to  the  waste  barrel 
and  overflowed  it.  It  was  southern  Il- 
linois stock,  which  shows  how  far  ad- 
vanced the  season  is. 

Stocks  and  mignonette  also  were  a 
glut.  If  there  was  any  item  which  really 
lield  a  stiff  market  it  was  smilax;  $H 
per  dozen  was  the  j)rice  for  not  very 
long  strings. 

Seasonable  weather  this  week  has  done 
much  to  improve  the  quality  of  stock 
and  check  the  inundation.  Receipts  con- 
tinue he.'xvy  and  in  advance  of  the  <le- 
maiid,  but  if  the  seasonable  weather 
holds  the  market  soon  will  right  itself.

material  carried  over  from  Sunday.  The 
receipts  clearly  showed  that  the  Beauty 
crops  are  at  length  on  in  full  force. 
Quality  is  fine  and  the  supply  so  great 
that  all  sorts  of  stores  are  handling

Easter  at  Retail. 

The  retailers  all  are  abundantly  satis- 
fied with  the  results  of  the  Easter  busi- 
ness. The  early  buying  was  not  up  to 
expectations  and  Thursday  it  rained 
nearly  all  day,  so  that  there  was  nothing 
doing.  The  result  was  that  the  business 
was  all  transacted  in  two  days.  The 
weather  was  perfect  Friday  and  Satur- 
day and  the  rush  was  something  phe- 
nomenal. Nearly  every  store  had  a 
greater  stock  than  ever  before,  of  flow- 
ering plants  of  all  descriptions.  It  was 
inevitable  that  something  should  be  left, 
but  the  general  report  is  of  an  excellent 
clean-up.  The  retailers  did  no  cut  flower 
buying  until  Friday  and  Saturday.  They 
were  taking  a  chance  on  the  warm 
weather  holding  and  producing  a  glut  in 
the  market.  The  result  was  that  they 
were  able  to  supply  their  needs  on  favor- 
able terms,  except  where  special  fancy 
stock  was  required.  While  it  was  a  plant 
Easter,  still  large  quantities  of  cut  flow- 
ers were  handled.  There  was  a  good 
profit  in  everything  and  no  retailer  is 
heard  to  complain.  Sunday  morning 
found  the  temperature  back  to  normal 
and  wrapping  necessary.  The  deliveries 
were,  therefore,  a  greater  task  than  they 
otherwise  would  have  been,  and  Easter 
deliveries  alway»  have  been  a  problem  be- 


cause of  the  bulk  of  the  flowering  plants. 
Fleischman  to  Enlarge. 

B.  Eubel,  of  the  Fleischman  Floral 
Co.,  states  that  he  has  taken  a  lease  on 
the  store  next  door,  at  5  Jackson  boule- 
vard, from  May  1.  During  the  summer 
the  partition  will  be  taken  down,  throw- 
ing the  new  space  into  the  flower  store. 
The  enlarged  store  will  be  refitted 
throughout  in  the  best  of  style,  Mr. 
Rubel  stating  that  it  is  his  intention  to 
fit  up  a  place  second  to  no  fiower  store 
in  the  United  States. 

For  the  Easter  deliveries  from  the 
Jackson  boulevard  store,  eight  hired 
buses  emblazoned  with  characteristic 
signs  were  employed,  besides  the  three 
regular  delivery  wagons.  The  north  side 
store,  where  L.  ±{.  Bohannon  is  manager, 
also  is  doing  a  good  business. 

The  Weather  in  March. 

According  to  the  weather  bureau 
jNIarch  was  the  warmest  since  1878,  the 
mean  temperature  being  43  degrees, 
against  a  normal  of  35  degrees.  The 
highest  reading,  80  degrees,  March  23, 
was  the  highest  for  March  in  the  thirty- 
seven  years  the  government  has  ueen 
keeping  records.  There  were  nine  days 
with  readings  above  60  degrees.  There 
were  only  three  clear  days,  fifteen  partly 
cloudy  and  thirteen  cloudy. 

Variotu  Notes. 

As  usual,  the  azalea  was  the  principal 
feature  of  the  Easter  stock  at  E.  Wien- 
hoeber's.  The  plants  were  perfectly 
flowered  and  a  finer  display  never  was 
seen.  The  principal  varieties  were  Haer- 
ensiana  and  Mme.  Joseph  Vervsene,  both 


light  pink  with  deeper  pink  at  the  base 
of  the  petals.  The  white  variety  grown 
was  Louis  Culvier.  Mr.  Wienhoel^r  no 
longer  grows  the  big  specimens  which 
once  were  a  feature  at  his  place.  He 
does  not  urge  the  use  of  ribbon,  but 
most  of  the  plants  were  sent  out  planted 
in  a  great  variety  of  receptacles,  most 
of  them  odd  pieces  of  pottery. 

P.  J.  Hauswirth  had  for  Easter  a 
great  variety  of  plants,  most  of  them 
picked  up  at  the  establishments  of  Wm. 
K.  Harris  and  Robert  Craig  Co.  during 
his  recent  trip  to  Philadelphia.  The  vari- 
egated bougainvillea  is  an  odd  and 
pleasing  plant.  Hawthornes  he  wished 
he  had  more  of.  The  Lady  Gay  rose 
is  all  right,  but  the  color  is  so  close  to 
the  Philadelphia  Rambler  that  few  buy- 
ers noted  the  difference. 

F.  Woick,  4801  South  Robey  street, 
had  a  large  amount  of  bulbous  stock  for 
Easter,  tulips,  hyacinths  and  narcissi. 
In  common  with  practically  every  other 
grower  he  had  difficulty  in  holding  his 
stock  back  because  of  the  unseasonably 
warm  weather. 

Club  meeting  April  11.  Don't  miss 
it.  Something  doing  every  meeting  night 
nowadays. 

Charles  Ussing,  a  recruit  from  New 
York,  has  been  added  to  John  Muir's 
staff.  He  has  charge  at  the  Forty-sev- 
enth street  store.  Mr.  Muir  gave  his 
personal  attention  to  the  Easter  business 
at  the  Thirty-fifth  street  store,  Mr.  Best 
having  gone  to  Philadelphia  to  accept  a 
position. 

In  addition  to  orchids,  George  Rein- 
berg  will  next  season  grow  mignonette, 
sweet  peas,  valley,  and  a  number  of  mis- 
cellaneous  items.     Mr.   Foerster,   at   the

city  store,  says  they  intend  next  season 
to  have  a  complete  line  of  stock. 

One  of  E.  C.  Amling's  groi^ers  is 
sending  in  an  especially  fine  crop  of 
mignonette.  The  leading  retailers  are 
using  mignonette  in  quantity.  The  stores 
catering  to  less  critical  trade  do  not 
seem  to  have  much  use  for  it. 

Max  Eeiberg,  who.se  first  Easter  it  was 
at  276  North  Clark  street,  reports  a  good 
business.  His  sales  were  principally 
bulbous  stock  in  pots  and  pans. 

An  Easter  visitor  was  H.  B.  Beatty, 
of  Pittsburg,  treasurer  of  the  Society 
of  American  Florists. 

Buyers  in  this  market  will  feel  the 
effect  of  the  advance  in  rates  made  by 
the  telegraph  companies.  No  charge 
now  is  less  than  30  cents.  "Where  tolls 
were  40  cents  they  now  are  50  ?ents.

new  location  at  48  and  50  AVabash  ave-

Saturday  morning. 

F.  F.  Benthey,  who  has  been  many 
years  in  the  market,  says  he  would  not 
be  surprised  if  the  total  Easter  supplies 
in  this  market  were  twice  what  they 
were  in  any  previous  year. 

The  firm  of  Heubner  &  Brown,  at  90 
Washington  street,  consists  of  John  A. 
Heubner  and  Theron  V.  Brown.  They 
did  a  nice  Easter  business. 

Last  Saturday  the  E.  F.  Winterson 
Co.  received  from  one  shipper  19,000 
sprays  of  Asparagus  plumosus  in 
bunches;  also  500  bunches  of  Sprengeri. 
It  is  said  to  be  the  largest  consignment 
of  greens  ever  received  in  this  market. 
Unfortunately  jt  came  after  the  Easter 
rush  and  when  there  was  no  special  de- 
mand. 

Ned  Washburn,  son  of  C.  L.  Wash- 
burn, was  at  home  from  Madison,  for 
Easter  and  helped  out  during  the  rush 
at  Bassett  &  Washburn's. 

One  wholesale  house  reports  the  re- 
ceipts of  70,000  poet's  narcissi  from  a 
southern  consignor.  The  stock  came  in 
Friday  and  Saturday  before  Easter  and 
on  Tuesday,  between  selling,  giving  to 
the  hospitals  and  dumping,  it  had  all 
been  eleajied  out,  with  gross  receipts 
just  70  cents  less  than  express  charges.

Three  afternoon  shipments  brought  forty 
cases  more,  a  total  of  ninety-six  for  the

that  day. 

One  wholesaler  reports  that  one  Rhine-

days  before  Easter.  The  stock  realized

Easter  Trade. 


The  Easter  trade  was  considerably 
ahead  of  last  year  and  in  some  lines 
was  'way  beyond  expectations.  Plants 
of  all  kinds  sold  well.  There  was  an 
exceptionally  heavy  demand  for  lily 
plants  and  the  supply  of  these  was  taken 
up  early.  Good  azaleas  were  quite  scarce. 
There  were  plenty  of  primulas,  lilac, 
spiraeas  and  deutzias.  Hydrangeas  were 
scarce.  In  cut  flowers  there  were  plenty 
of  roses  and  carnations.  Violets  were 
affected  by  tlie  warm  weather  and  those 
that  came  in  were  somewhat  small,  al- 
though they  were  sold  at  fair  figures. 
There  was  plenty  of  bulb  stock,  such  as 
tulips,  hyacinths  and  lily  of  the  valley. 
Easter  lilies  were  plentiful  the  first  of 
the  week  but  shortened  up  considerably 
as  Easter  approached  and  prices  took  a 
jump  to  $2.50  per  dozen  for  good  stock 
Friday  and  Saturday.  More  could  have 
been  sold  had  they  been  available.  Some 
very  fine  mignonette  was  in  the  market 
but  there  is  not  a  heavy  call  for  this 
flower  for  Easter  decorations. 


Most  of  the  retailers  Avere  well  sup- 
plied with  plants.  Nearly  all  the  down- 
town florists  made  heavy  displays  antl 
all  salable  stock  brought  good  figures.

During  the  last  week  the  continued  hot 
weather  got  in  its  work  on  all  classes 
of  stock.  The  bulbs  suffered  most  and 
by  the  last  of  the  week  thousands  of 
daffodils!,  tulips  and  hyacinths  were  con- 
signed to  the  dump.  Spiraeas  showed 
the  effects  of  the  lieat.  as  did  the  lilies. 
Nothing  could  withstand  the  tempera- 
tures of  60  to  65  degrees  at  night  and 
80  to  85  degrees  by  day.  Roses,  though, 
were  scarce  and  commanded  a  good 
price.  Carnations  were  fairly  plentiful 
and  the  quality  good  and  were  eagerly 
sought  after  by  all  good  judges  of 
flowers.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Risins  Eastern  Market. 

The  volume  of  business  in  cut  flowers 
was  larger  than  ever  before  at  Easter. 
It  was  not  satisfactory,  owing  to  the 
extremely  warm  weather  which  set  in  on 
the  Tuesday  before  Easter  ana  con- 
tinued until  Saturday.  Flowers  that 
were  absolutely  fresh  reached  the  mar- 
ket in  poor  condition  in  some  cases,  and 
others  not  yet  fully  developed  proved 
unsatisfactory  in  the  hands  of  retailers 
despite  great  care  in  packing.  All  the 
wholesalers  agree  that  they  have  never 
handled  so  large  a  quantity  of  flowers 
at  one  time,  and  the  amount  of  sorting 
and  grading  required  to  get  the  quality 
of  stock  necessary  under  such  trying 
conditions  to  fill  shipping  orders  greatly 
increased  their  labors.  Prices  advanced 
a  little  on  Thursday  and  Friday,  but 
not  nearly  so  much  as  anticipated.  By 
Friday  afternoon  it  became  evident  that 
the  excessive  heat  was  bringing  in  too 
large  a  quantity  of  flowers  for  any  pos- 
sible demand,  and  prices  weakened.  By 
Saturday  evening  it  became  evident  that 
there  would  be  a  large  surplus  in  cer- 
tain varieties  of  stock,  and  in  nearly  all 
varieties  there  were  some  flowers  left 
over.  It  is  probable  that  when  the  re- 
turns are  totaled  it  will  be  found  to 
have  been  the  best  Easter  on  record.  At 
present  there  are  so  many  disappoint- 
ing features  that  this  is  hard  to  realize. 

Cut  lilies  were  in  heavy  demand.  The 
gupply  was  about  equal  to  requirements. 
Prices  ranged  from  12%  cents  to  15 
cents,  with  all  good  stock  on  long  stems 
bringing  the  latter  figure.  It  was 
thought  that  calla  lilies  would  be  used 
in  place  of  Easter  lilies  when  the  latter 
could  not  be  had,  but  this  has  been 
proved  an  error.  The  demand  appears 
to  be  entirely  distinct,  the  buyers  being 
unwilling  to  accept  callas  as  substi- 
tutes.

Carnations  were  in  heavy  supply; 
fancy  white  and  Enchantress  sold  at  6 
cents,  and  occasionally  8  cents,  but  4 
cents  was  a  good  price  for  all  select 
stock.  Great  quantities  of  carnations 
reached  the  market  in  poor  condition, 
owing  to  the  extreme  heat,  and  either 
went  to  sleep  on  the  wholesalers'  hands 
or  had  to  be  replaced  after  delivery  to 
the  retailers.  There  was  no  evidence 
that  this  stock  had  been  held  over;  in 
most  cases  it  had  simply  succumbed  to 
the  sudden  heat  wave. 

Violets  were  in  active  demand.  It  is 
probable  that  there  were  more  marketed 
in  this  city  and  shipped  out  of  town 
than  ever  before.  Lady  Campbell 
was  favored  by  many  buyers,  while  the 
Hudson  river  stock,  Marie  Louise,  had 
also  a  large  following.  For  the  best 
doubles  $1  per  hundred  was  a  good 
price.  Singles  were  not  so  satisfactory. 
The   stock   grown   in   frames   sometimes 


shaded,  but  without  heat,  kept  well,  but 
fine  flowers  from  plants  that  had  been 
forced  during  the  winter  collapsed  soon 
after  reaching  the  market,  or  failed  to 
satisfy  the  retailers. 

Tulips  were  another  unsatisfactory 
item,  the  single  varieties,  and  even 
Murillo,  flying  open  so  fast  that  they 
were  useless.  Southern  daffodils  were 
absolute  trash,  the  shipments  received 
from  Wednesday  until  Friday  being 
thrown  away  when  opened.  Those  ar- 
riving on  Saturday  evening  were  in  bet- 
ter condition  and  realized  fair  prices. 

Koses  were  too  plentiful.  The  large 
crops  of  Kaiserin  forced  for  Easter 
proved  more  than  sufficient  for  all  de- 
mands and  many  were  left  unsold.  Only 
a  few  reached  the  top  prices,  15  cents  to 
18  cents.  Brides  and  Maids,  when  of 
really  select  quality,  brought  good 
prices,  but  the  ordinary  grades  were 
rather  hard  to   market    at    any    figure.

Beauties  were  in  lieavy  supply  and 
proved  a  most  satisfactory  shipping 
flower.  The  demand  was  barely  suffi- 
cient to  absorb  all  the  stock  offered,  the 
difficulty  being  that  there  were  hardly 
any  grades  between  the  fancy  specials 
and  the  shorts;  many  more  extras  and 
mediums  could  have  been  sold. 

Sweet  peas  sold  splendidly  when  of 
fair  quality.  The  retailers  positively 
refused  to  touch  the  poor  grades,  which 
are  plentiful.  Cattleyas  were  scarce. 
Gardenias  about  equaled  the  demand. 
Valley  sold  in  immense  quantities,  but 
the  supply  exceeded  the  demand.  Some 
magnificent  but  held-over  stock  proved 
a  total  loss,  the  bells  falling  when  it 
reached  the  market.  White  lilac  sold 
exceptionally  well  when  of  good  quality. 
Pansies  were  in  strong  supply,  one  large 
wholesale  house  alone  marketing  12,000 
bunches. 

Greens,  especially  plumosus,  sold  well. 


The  supply  came  in  rather  late,  and 
toward  the  end  of  the  week  there  was 
a  surplus. 

Business  this  week  has  opened  well, 
the  demand  being  fairly  good,  with 
prices  a  shade  lower  than  at  Easter, 
There  are  many  shipping  orders  and  a 
number  of  weddings  that  will  consume 
much   choice   stock. 

The  organizing  of  the  new  city  gov- 
ernment on  Monday  brought  many 
floral  offerings  for  mayor  and  council- 
men,  not  so  many  as  in  former  years, 
when  desks  were  decorated.  The  cold 
weather  of  Monday  and  Tuesday  has 
checked  production,  thus  helping  the 
market. 

Easter  Plants. 

It  is  universally  conceded  to  have 
been  the  greatest  plant  Easter  ever  ex- 
perienced, both  by  the  wholesalers  and 
by    the    retailers.       The    Eobert    Craig 


Co.,  which  is  the  largest  grower  of 
Easter  plants  in  this  city,  states  that 
on  Friday  it  had  passed  the  high-water 
mark  of  one  year  ago,  and  that  many 
plants  were  sold  since.  The  difficulty 
experienced  in  shipping  was  that  the 
work  was  crowded  into  two  weeks  in- 
stead of  spreading  out  over  a  month, 
as  is  usual  when  Easter  comes  a  fort- 
night later.  The  retailers  agree  that  it 
was  the  greatest  plant  Easter  in  their 
experience.  They  attribute  this  largely 
to  the  warm  weather  of  last  week,  which 
enabled  the  buyers  to  shop  when  they 
pleased,  and  encouraged  them  in  the 
belief  that  plants  could  be  delivered 
safely.  Many  of  the  retailers  believe 
that  this  heavy  demand  for  plants 
affected  their  sales  of  cut  flowers,  which 
they  think  were  smaller  than  would  have 
been  the  case  had  cooler  weather  pre- 
vailed. Little  more  can  be  said  regard- 
ing plants  than  is  generally  known,  ex- 
cepting that  hydrangeas  were  rather 
scarce,  that  rambler  roses  were  less  in 
evidence  than  in  former  years,  that  there 
was  an  immense  quantity  of  azaleas 
marketed,  and  some  of  the  poorer  stock 
left  over,  and  that  there  was  a  heavy 
demand,  especially  in  the  smaller  shops,, 
for  tulips,  hyacinths,  etc.,  in  small  pots. 

The  Spring;  Exhibition. 

The  spring  show  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Horticultural  Society  was  held,  as  stated 
last  week,  in  Horticultural  hall,  on  the 
Tuesday,  Wednesday  and  Thursday  pre- 
ceding Easter.  The  show  was  well  sup- 
plied, by  the  gardeners,  with  exhibits  of 
high  quality,  in  all  the  classes  for  flow- 
ering plants  and  bulbs  and  in  some 
classes  for  the  foliage  plants. 

The  tulips  and  hyacinths  were  prob- 
ably the  best  ever  seen  here,  the  judges, 
A.  B.  Cartledge,  Chester  Davis,  C.  Eisele 
and  John  Hobson,  having  a  most  diffi- 
cult task  to  decide  the  winners. 

A  hurried  trip  through  the  hall,  under 
the  kindly  guidance  of  John  S.  Hay,  en- 
abled me  to  see  a  few  plants  and  flowers 
of  special  interest  to  florists.  A  large 
narcissus,  exhibited  for  the  Waterer 
prizes,  is  called  Glory  of  Leyden.  It 
somewhat  resembles  an  improved  Hors- 
fieldii.  Ehododendron  Pink  Pearl,  flow- 
ered last  year  by  Jacob  Becker,  is  a  va- 
riety of  great  merit.     Flowers  are  large^

color  soft  pink.  Kose  Anny  Muller  is  a 
pretty  plant  in  bloom.  It  is  of  the  type 
of  Baby  Rambler,  only  better.  Cinera- 
ria stellata,  from  several  growers,  was 
of  great  size  and  perfect,  in  a  variety 
of  colors. 

The  Dreer  exhibit  of  labeled  foliage 
plants  was  of  great  interest.  The  best 
standard  varieties  and  some  no\'«lties 
Aere  shown.  A  highly  colored  plant  of 
Pandanus  Sanderi  was  a  feature.  It  was 
probably  six  feet  tall. 

Tulips  and  hyacinths,  arranged  as  an 
American  flag,  showing  the  stars  and 
stripes,  were  offered  in  competition  for 
the  Michell  prize.  The  work  was  well 
done,  height,  condition  and  arrangement 
all  being  duly  considerod  by  both  com- 
petitors. 

The  azalea  specimens  of  immense  size 
were  superb.  The  lilies  and  spiraeas 
were  ■syell  done. 

\V,  A.  IManda,  South  Orange,  N.  J., 
sent  two  promising  seedling  carnations 
and  some  flowers  of  the  Cherokee  rose. 
John  E.  Haines,  South  Bethlehem,  Pa., 
sent  flowers  of  his  three  famous  carna- 
tions. The  whole  carnation  exhibit  was 
excellent. 

A  ]>air  of  Bhapis  flabelliformis  were 
probably  the  finest  specimens  of  this 
palm  in  the  coiintry. 

Secretary    Bust     tried,    as    an    experi- 


ment, the  free  admission  of  school  chil- 
dren when  accompanied  with  their  teach- 
ers, the  society  hoping  to  cultivate  the 
love  of  flowers  in  the  men  and  women 
of  tomorrow. 

Samuel  Batchelor,  John  MeCleary, 
William  Kleinheinz  and  Joseph  Warley 
were  prominent  exhibitors. 

Vest  Grove. 

Sambo,  .\lr.  Harvey's  driver,  landed 
the  trio  at  Brandywine  Summit  in  ample 
time  for  the  12:05  for  the  south.  Mr. 
Curwen  made  a  strong  fight  to  go  home, 
but  it  was  no  use.  Phil  had  received  a 
letter  from  P.  J.  Lynch  inviting  the 
j)arty  to  visit  him.  Did  you  ever  get  a 
letter  from  P.  J.  Lynch?  Xo  one  who 
haK  not  can  realize  the  strength  of  the 
magnet.  Mr.  Lynch 's  letter^  breathe 
cordiality,  good  fellowship  ana  kindli- 
ness in  M  way  most  gratifying  to  the 
recipient.  Unluckily  Mr.  (^urwen  li»d 
not  received  this  particular  letter,  or 
lie  would  not  have  demurred. 

The  party  reached  West  Grove  at 
12:40  p.  m.  Mr.  Lynch  had  two  trot- 
ters waiting,  a  pleasant  surprise.  Phil 
had  the  nerve  to  keep  them  while  mine 
host  at  the  inn  was  visited,  and  then 
came  a  lively  ride  over  the  turnpike. 
Edward  Parker  was  in  readiness  to  re- 
ceive the  viBitors  and  show  them  the  re- 
sults of  his  winter  propagating,     A  lit- 


tle later  M.  Henry  J^yuch  appeared  to 
add  his  welcome  and,  as  the  party  was 
leaving  one  of  the  houses,  a  gentle  voic« 
said,  * '  This  is  P.  J.  Lynch, ' '  and  the 
chief  of  seventy-one  greenhouses.  That 
voice  has  always  its  charm,  whether  it 
be  heard  in  the  role  of  essayist,  in  salu- 
tation on  the  treasury  steps  in  Washing- 
ton or  raised  in  song  at  a  banquet. 
Now  it  was  an  interesting  talk  on  the 
merits  of  this  and  that  variety  of  rose, 
or  flowering  shrub,  or  soft-wooded  plant. 

The  houses  looked  well.  It  was  evi- 
dent the  winter's  propagation  had  been 
uniformly  successful.  There  was  evi- 
dence that  even  the  difficult  varieties  had 
smiled  on  Mr.  Parker.  Mr.  Curwen  re- 
marked on  each  house  how  Avell  it  looked, 
and  when  he  wearied  of  saying  so, 
through  no  fault  of  the  houses,  Mr. 
Parker  relieved  him.  It  soon  became 
evident  that  Mr.  Lynch  was  making  this 
visit  serve  as  a  tour  of  inspection.  The 
quick,  comprehensive  glance  over  each 
house  allowed  nothing  to  escape.  It 
was  evidently  a  pleasant  duty,  each 
house,  clean  and  neat,  smiling  back  at 
the  owner  happily. 

The  Dingee  &  Conard  Co.  has  today 
900,000  young  roses  ready  for  distribu- 
tion. The  stock  comprises  1,400  vari- 
eties, many  of  them  unobtainable  else-

numbers,  just  sufficient  to  retain  them. 
When  not  especially  ordered  these  vari- 
eties are  kept  moving  through  the  D.  & 
0.  sets,  seller's  selection,  at  special 
prices.  Kiilarney  is  made  the  rose 
queen  of  the  year.  A  fine  stock  of  this 
sterling  rose  has  been  propagated. 
Next  to  Kiilarney  the  Cochets  in  five 
colors  are  presented  in  quantity,  then 
Anny  Muller,  Baby  Kambler,  and  so  on 
<lown  the  list  to  the  rose  of  our  great, 
great  grandmother's  day,  almost  forgot- 
ten but  too  good  to  be  quite  discarded. 

The  narrow  house,  eleven  feet  wide, 
with  center  walk,  two  raised  benches 
and  a  low  ridge,  is  still  considered  the 
ideal  house  for  propagating  and  grow- 
ing small  roses.  The  steel  range  erected 
last  summer  by  the  company's  own 
force  is  built  on  this  plan,  the  only  dif- 
ference being  that  the  houses  are  open 
between,  avoiding  the  expense  and  wear 
of  partitions.  In  this  range  only  the 
legs  in  the  benches  are  of  wood. 

A  single  bench  in  one  house  contained 
an  immense  number  of  China,  Bourbon 


and  Noisette  roses,  their  roots  closely 
packed  in  the  soil,  awaiting  shipment. 
All  looked  well.  We  were  told  that  one 
order  for  roses  from  small  pots  had  been 
forty-four  days  on  the  way  and  the  pur- 
chaser had  written  from  his  home  in 
far-oflf  Asia  to  say  that  the  foliage  on 
every  plant  was  fresh  and  green  when 
received. 

Tempus  fugit.  An  absorbingly  inter- 
esting dissertation  on  propagating  by 
Mr.  Parker  ended,  Mr.  Lynch  kindly 
drove  the  party  over  to  the  Conard  & 
Jones  Co. 's  place  near  by  to  see  An- 
toine  Wintzer.  There  was  just  time  to 
shake  Mr.  Wintzer 's  hand,  see  a  few  of 
the  houses  filled  with  choice  stock  (Mr. 
Wintzer  is  a  master  of  his  art)  and 
catch  the  5:28  at  West  Grove.  The  way 
home  lay  through  a  thrifty-looking  coun- 
try and  past  many  greenhouses  in  the 
fertile  Chester  valley.  Mr.  Wertsner  was 
heard  to  remark,  '  *  How  George  would 
have  enjoyed  it!  "  Any  one  who  knows 
Mr.  Wertsner  knows  that  this  is  praise 
indeed. 


Dreet's  Perentiials. 

The  Henry  A.  Dreer  Co.  has  reasoned 
wisely  that  a  plant,  be  it  hardy  or  ten- 
aer,  does  best  when  its  root  action  is 
perfect.  This  reasoning,  when  applied 
to  hardy  perennials,  means  that  a  plant 
grown  in  a  pot  will  prove  far  more 
healthy  and  vigorous  than  a  field-grown 
plant.  The  latter  may  be  larger,  but 
before  it  has  recovered  from  the  check 
to  its  root  action  through  transplanting, 
the  smaller,  pot-grown  plant  has  far  out- 
stripped it  during  the  first  few  weeks 
of  the  growing  season.  For  this  reason 
all  the  Dreer  hardy  perennials  are  pot- 
ted in  the  fall,  usually  into  .3-inch  pots, 
so  that  in  spring  they  can  be  shipped 
anywhere  with  the  certainty  that  they 
will  grow  well  when  planted  in  the 
open  ground.  Some  idea  of  the  extent 
to  which  their  business  in  hardy  peren- 
nials has  grown  may  be  gathered  from 
the  fact  that  last  fall  140,000  hardy 
phloxes  alone  were  potted  into  3-inch 
pots   for   this   spring's  sales.

The  Valtie  of  Taste. 

Paul  Berkowitz,  well  and  favorably 
known  as  a  member  of  the  firm  of  H. 
Bayersdorfer  &  Co.,  has  unusual  oppor- 
tunities for  seeing  what  our  best  retail- 
ers all  over  the  country  are  doing  to 
educate  the  flower-loving  public.  Mr. 
Berkowitz  l>elieves  that  too  many  flor- 
ists relax  their  efforts  to  attract  and 
interest  possible  customers  after  the 
holidays  are  over.  He  thinks  that  taste 
displayed  in  the  arrangement  of  a  shop 
and  its  decoration  will  repay  the  pro- 
prietor at  any  time.  Why,  Mr.  Berko- 
witz asks,  should  hampers,  crepe  paper 
and  other  adornments  be  used  at  Easter 
and  the  plants  be  allowed  to  stand 
about  carelessly  with  pots  unwashed  at 
other  times?  Mr.  Berkowitz  was  much 
impressed  by  a  retailer  in  a  town  in  the 
middle  west  who,  while  six  miles  from 
the  shopping  district,  has  developed  an 
excellent  Ijusiness  through  the  neatness 
and  taste  displayed  in  his  shop,  which 
looks  at  all  times  like  a  parlor  in  a 
Jiome   of   refinement. 

Variotss  Notes. 

The  Leo  Niessen  Co.  reports  an  excel- 
lent demand   for  wild  smilax.    Potter  & 


Knott,  of  Fox  Chase,  shipped  pansies 
in  quantity  at  Easter. 

The  decorations  in  the  churches  were 
very    elaborate. 

The  snow  storm  April  1  fooled  every- 
body. 

Mrs.  Henry  A.  Dreer,  wife  of  the 
former  and  mother  of  the  present  head 
of  the  great  seed  house,  died  at  Pasa- 
dena, Cal.,  last  week  in  her  eightieth 
year.  She  was  buried  in  Woodland 
cemetery    in   this   city. 

Many  stores  were  opened  in  different 
parts  of  the  city  for  the  sale  of  plants 
last  week.  William  J.  Young,  Jr.,  made 
a  fine  display  in  the  former  Chelton 
Trust  Co.  office. 

The  fakers  are  making  use  of  refrig- 
erator plants.  They  buy  cut  flowers 
when  the  market  is  favorable  and  put 
them  in  cold  storage  until  wanted.  The 
plan  worked  badly  lately. 

It  is  estimated  that  one  house  alone 
received  over  25,000  unsalable  southern 
daffodils  recently.  They  were  ruined  by 
lieating    in    transit. 

The  display  made  on  the  east  side  of 
the  Public  Buildings  was  a  feature. 
Each  variety  of  plant  was  arranged  in 
a  block  by  itself  with  lanes  dividing  the 


blocks.  There  was  probably  enough 
stock  in  sight  to  fill  a  dozen  good  sized 
greenhouses.  The  curbstone  broker, 
Schaefer,  said  that  the  demand,  while 
fair,  wa-s  not  up  to  his  expectations. 

M.  Rice  sails  for  Europe  Saturday, 
April  6,  to  secure  "the  newest  to  be 
had"  in  florists'  supplies  for  the  com- 
ing season.  Mrs.  Rice  will  accompany 
him.  Mr.  Rice  promises  to  let  Phil  have 
the  first  look,  and  the  Review  the  first 
news  of  foreign  novelties. 

Wm.  P.  Craig  has  returned  from  a 
successful  business  trip.  He  states  that 
with  him  business  is  far  ahead  of  last 
season,  and  also  that  Nephrolepis 
Amerpohlii  is  now  showing  its  true 
character. 

H.  Bayersdorfer  &  Co.  are  sending  out 
some  beautiful  lace,  satin  finish  bouquet 
holders  of  original  design. 

Paul  F.  Richter,  of  Henry  F.  Michell 
Co.,  read  an  excellent  paper  on  bulbs 
before  the  florists'  Club  Tuesday  even- 
ing, April  2.  Phil. 

Lebanon,  Pa. — Mish  Bros.,  Lebanon 
Greenhouses,  did  an  extensive  Easter 
business.  Extra  teamsters  had  to  be  em- 
ployed to  deliver  orders.

The  Easter  Market. 

Flowers  of  all  kinds  were  plentiful, 
except  Easter  lilies  and  violets.  A 
great  many  violets  that  were  shipped 
were  asleep  and  no  good.  Boses  retailed 
at  from  $1.50  to  $3  a  dozen.  There 
were  more  carnations  than  enough  to 
supply  the  demand  and  prices  went  to 
pieces.  Large  shipments  were  received 
from  Chicago.  The  department  stores 
advertised  carnations  for  35  cents  a 
dozen  and  roses  at  50  cents  a  dozen. 
These  department  store  sales  are  ruina- 
tion to  any  florist  that  prepares  for 
this  busy  event  and  has  to  compete  with 
such  prices.  The  result  was  that  there 
were  large  quantities  of  cut  flowers  left 
over  in  the  stores.  The  stores  that  kept 
open  on  Sunday  did  a  rushing  busi- 
ness. The  heavy  rain  Saturday  after- 
noon and  evening  was  the  cause  of 
many  customers  not  purchasing  their 
sui)ply  on   that   day. 

I'otted  plants,  as  a  rule,  took  the 
lead.  The  florist  who  had  nice  plants 
in  bloom  for  $1  to  $1.50  had  no  trouble 
in  disposing  of  them,  as  this  price  is 
the  most  called  for.  Large  baskets  of 
plants  for  $5  to  $10  went  slowly.  There 
were  not  enough  palms  in  the  city  to 
supply  the  demand  for  the  churches. 
Dutch  hyacinths  were  scarce.  The  ex- 
troine  warm  weather  we  had  caused 
iniiny  to  perish,  as  they  could  not  be 
kept    cool. 

Various  Notes. 

Arthur  Newell  says  that  his  trade 
was  much  larger  than  it  was  last  year. 
Everything  sold  well.  Potted  plants  at 
$1  to  $1.50  sold  best  and  the  customers 
taking  them  with  them  saved  the  trouble 
of  delivering.  He  is  well  pleased  with 
his  sales  of  last  week.

that  early  Saturday  afternoon  he  had 
almost  cleaned  up  everything,  and  the

cent  over  last  year.  Mr.  Elberfield  had 
eight  wagons  delivering  and  one  met 
with  an  accident  in  a  street  car  collision, 
damaging  the  load  of  plants  and  cut 
flowers  to  the  extent  of  $177.  This  will

CUCUMBEHS. 


The  keeping  of  plants  clean  is  one  of 
the  most  troublesome  parts  of  cucumber 
cultivation  now  that  the  weather  is  dry 
and  warm;  as,  unless  they  are  kept  well 
sprayed,  both  red  spider  and  thrips  will 
get  a  hold  and  increase  very  rapidly  on 
account  of  the  tender  nature  of  the 
foliage.  Water  can't  be  used  with 
sufficient  force  to  dislodge  the  pests 
when  they  have  once  got  a  good  hold, 
so  the  idea  should  be  to  try  and  pre- 
vent them  doing  so  by  frequent  syring- 
ings,  made  just  as  hard  as  the  plants 
will  stand  without  injury  to  the  foliage. 

An  occasional  spraying  of  some  in- 
secticide cant  also  be  used  with  good 
effect.  Any  of  the  numerous  extracts 
of  tobacco,  diluted  according  to  direc- 
tions, are  good.  An  emulsion  of  Whale- 
oil  or  Ivory  soap  is  also  good,  and  if 
a  little  kerosene  is  added  it  makes  the 
mixture  more  effective.  But  the  latter 
must  be  used  in  very  limited  quantity 
or  damage  may  result. 

Our  experience  is  that  it  is  almost 
impossible  to  use  any  insecticides  strong 
enough  to  destroy  either  red  spider  or 
thrips,  if  the  plants  are  badly  infested, 
without  injury  to  the  plants  themselves, 
but  they  certainly  do  act  as  a  preventive 
if  used  in  time,  as  they  can  be  put  on 
sufficiently  strong  to  make  the  foliage 
of  the  plants  an  unsuitable  hibernating 
place  for  any  of  the  troublesome  pests. 

A  plentiful  supply  of  water  will  be 
required  by  the  plants  now.  If  they 
are  allowed  to  get  dry  and  flaggy  in 
the  heat  of  the  day,  it  will  result  in 
the  dropping  off  of  a  good  deal  of  the 
fruits  in  the  earlier  stages  of  their  de-

form their  proper  functions,  through

being  robbed  of  the  necessary  supply 
of  nutriment,  drags  out  a  miserable  ex-

gives  up  the  fight  and  drops  off,  to  the

WAYSIDE  NOTES. 

Fischer's  Sons,  New  Castle,  Pa.,  were 
busy  at  the  time  of  my  visit.  One  of 
the  boys  being  under  the  weather  made 
it  somewhat  awkward  just  at  the  busy 
time. 

Butz  Bros,,  of  New  Castle,  made  a 
big  showing  and  report  all  the  Easter 
business  they  could  handle. 

J.  J.  Beck,  also  of  New  Castle,  has 
decided  to  sell  his  greenhouses  and  store, 
reserving  some  land  for  gardening  pur- 
poses. 

Walter  Horlacher,  of  Dayton,  Ohio, 
found  his  new  packing  and  storage 
rooms  of  great  service  during  the  holi- 
day rush  and  wonders  how  he  did  so 
long  without  them.  Easter  business  was 
very  satisfactory.  ■;    • 

John  Heiss,  of  Dayton,  was  kept  busy 
between  the  store  and  greenhouse  and  is 
glad  the  Easter  rush  is  past.  He  did  a 
big  business.

The  planting  for  the  1907  crop  of

It  looks  as  though  the  Michigan  crops 
for  seeds  will  be  planted  this  year 
earlier  than  in  any  previous  season. 

The  demise  of  Mrs.  Henry  A,  Dreer, 
widow  of  the  founder  of  the  Phila- 
delphia seed  house,  is  recorded  in  the 
obituary   columns. 

Mrs.  W.  K.  West-Phillips,  owner 
of  a  large  block  of  stock  in  the  Phil- 
lips Seed  Co.,  of  Toledo,  O.,  h?is  disposed 
of  her  holdings  to  Henry  Phillips. 

Minch  Bros.,  Bridg«ton,  N.  J.,  are 
doing  a  large  trade  in  seeds.  A  local 
paper  reports  that  they  recently  re- 
ceived "a  whole  trainload"  of  seed 
potatoes  from  Maine. 

J.  Charles  McCullough,  Cincinnati, 
who  was  forced  to  abandon  his  store  in 
a  hurry  during  the  recent  flood,  is  again 
back  in  his  permanent  location,  at  Wal- 
nut and  Second  streets. 

Thk  Livingston  Seed  Co.,  Columbus, 
Ohio,  held  its  annual  sweet  pea  sale 
March  26.  This  has  become  a  leading 
spring  feature  with  this  firm  and  they 
advertise  it  largely  locally. 

Wm.  Kelway,  head  of  the  widely 
known  English  seed  and  plant  house  of 
Kelway  &  Son,  has  just  been  elected  to 
represent  Langport  and  district  on  the 
Somerset  County  Council. 

Frank  J.  Holy,  foreman  for  the 
Salzer  Seed  Co.,  La  Crosse,  Wis.,  and 
Mrs.  Helen  Stellick,  of  La  Crosse,  were 
married  early  in  March  but  kept  it  a 
secret  until  a  few  days  ago. 

E.  J.  Hohberger,  seedsman  at  Des 
Moines,  la.,  had  a  "sweet  pea  sale" 
March  28  to  30,  offering  mixed  seed  at 
5  cents  per  ounce,  and  did  a  big  busi- 
ness by  means  of  advertising  in  local 
papers. 

John  Davis,  manager  of  the  W.  W. 
Barnard  Co.  interests  at  Sturgeon  Bay, 
Wis.,  is  reported  as  saying  that  the  com- 
pany will  plant  as  many  peas  as  for- 
merly and  may  possibly  have  an  in- 
creased acreage. 

The  lilies  in  Bermuda  are  so  late  this 
year  that  the  usual  shipments  of  cut 
blooms  were  not  made  to  New  York  for 
Easter.  It  is  stated  that  in  ripening,  as 
in  blooming,  the  bulbs  will  be  two  to 
three  weeks  late  this  year. 

It  is  reported  at  Sturgeon  Bay,  Wis., 
that  the  pea  acreage  of  the  John  H.

THE  SEASON  IN  CONNECTICUT. 

S.  D.  Woodruff  &  Sons,  Orange,  Conn., 
write  as  follows,  under  date  of  March 
30: 

' '  Business  is  at  its  rush  now.  All 
seed  houses  and  dealers  in  Connecticut 
are  reporting  the  greatest  rush  ever. 
The  particular  lines  of  seeds,  such  as 
sweet  corn,  and  a  good  many  sorts  of 
beans,  have  been  moving  out  remark- 
ably well  of  late,  so  that  the  anticipated 
surplus  to  carry  over  has  been  greatly 
lessened.  In  fact,  many  of  the  largest 
dealers  are  already  sold  up  on  a  good 
many  of  the  most  common  varieties  of 
sweet  corn  and  there  is  always  a  brisk 
demand  up  to  nearly  June  1. 

"Onion  sets  and  onions  for  seed  are 
being  set  rapidly.  The  spring  has  come 
on  all  in  a  rush.  Onion  bulbs  are  keep- 
ing nicely,  as  well  as  all  roots  of  all 
kinds  that  have  thus  far  been  dug  out 
of  the  pits." 

STATE  OF  TRADE. 

There  was  a  quite  general  change 
in  the  weather  March  31,  Easter,  but 
what  seemed  like  a  cold  wave  after  the 
heat  of  the  last  two  weeks  of  March 
was  only  a  return  to  seasonable  tem- 
perature. Anyway,  the  spring  season 
had  gathered  too  great  headway  for  the 
rush  to  be  affected  to  any  considerable 
extent  by  a  few  days  of  cooler  weather. 
Spring  is  here  and  planters  want  their 
seeds;   as  usual,  they  want  them  quick. 

The  mail-order  houses  are  rushed  to 
the  limit;  in  many  cases  they  say  that 
overtime  does  not  suffice  to  keep  up 
with  demands.  The  crop  shortages  are 
beginning  to  be  felt,  for  it  is  not  pos- 
sible to  replenish  stocks  in  some  lines 
already  running  low.  Counter  trade  is 
keeping   the   dealers   on   the   jump,    and

We  staged  68  perfect  blooms  at  the  Royal 
Horticultural  Society's  Show  at  Holland  House, 
July  9  and  10,  1906,  and  after  two  days'  show 
were  as  good  as  when  first  set  up,  and  were  ad-

variety  in  the  show.

periments  have  been  satisfactory,  in 
1904  and  1905  thorough  spraying  gave 
us  a  full  crop  of  high  quality  melons, 
while  those  grown  by  neighbors  under 
like  conditions  but  without  spraying 
were  an  entire  failure,  producing  no 
marketable  fruits  whatever.  The  season 
of  1906  the  unsprayed  fields  produced 
a  fair  crop  of  good  quality,  but  the 
climatic  conditions  were  different.  My 
success  in  controlling  this  fungus  in 
Michigan  has  led  me  to  increase  my  acre-

unsprayed,  but  while  the  foliage  is  pre- 
served in  a  more  healthy  concStion,  tho

SEED  INSPECTION  IN  MAINE. 

The  Maine  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station,  at  Orono,  is  now  mailing  bulle- 
tin 138,  containing  analyses  of  samples 
of  grass  and  other  seeds  collected  by  the 
inspector  and  analyzed  by  the  station 
in  1906.  The  results  of  the  analyses  in- 
dicate that  there  was  considerable  poor 
grass  seed  sold  in  Maine  last  year.  The 
timothy,  for  the  most  part,  was  tolerably 
clean  and  free  from  injurious  weeds. 
Redtop  not  only  contained  large  amounts 
of  waste  materials  and  a  good  deal  of 
lower  priced  seeds,  but  in  many  instances 
it  was  loaded  with  weeds.  Much  of  the 
clover  seed  examined,  however,  proved 
to  be  much  poorer  than  the  other  kind 
of  seeds.  Not  only  did  the  clover  fre- 
quently contain  a  long  list  of  weeds,  but 
many  samples  contained  the  spores  of 
ergot. 

This  is  the  second  bulletin  that  has 
been  issued  since  the  law  providing  for 
the  inspection  of  seeds  sold  in  Maine 
was  enacted.  The  bulletin  states  that 
no  prosecutions  were  made,  on  the  two- 
fold ground  that  in  most  instances  the 
dealers  were  ignorant  of  the  require- 
ments of  the  law,  and  that  they  them- 
selves were  imposed  upon  when  they 
made  their  purchases.  Notices  have 
been  scut  to  all  dealers  whose  names 
appear  in  the  Maine  Register,  calling 
their  attention  to  the  law,  and  to  the 
fact  that  sales  of  bad,  unguaranteed 
seeds  must  stop.

The  Easter  Market. 

There  was  plenty  business  this  Easter 
for  every  florist  and  grower  in  New- 
port, and  were  it  not  a  fact  that  in 
many  cases  lilies  were  disappointing  it 
would  have  been  a  record  breaker  in 
profits;  but  lilies  were  disappointing 
and  in  consequence  business  was  only 
fairly  good  in  net  profits.  Hundreds  of 
lilies  grown  by  local  men  failed  to  come 
up    to    time    and    what    made     matters

worse,  many  did  not  give  up  hope  until 
it  was  too  late  to  save  themselves  by 
.securing  a  supply  from  out  of  town. 
When  they  tried  to  get  them  they  found 
out  it  was  too  late  or  there  were  sent  to 
them  plants  in  such  a  state  that  some 
had    to    be   immediately   returned. 

This  shortage  of  lilies  helped  hya- 
cinths and  many  other  things.  There 
were  not  half  enough  white  hyacinths  in 
pans  to  supply  the  demand  and  blue 
had  to  be  taken.  The  white  in  6-inch 
pans  sold  at  $1  each.  Eoses  were  scarce. 
Brides  and  Maids  sold  at  $1.50  per 
dozen.  Carnations,  also,  were  scarce, 
especially  Enchantress,  which  sold  rap- 
idly at  .$1.50  per  dozen.  Violets  sold 
at  $2  per  hundred.  There  were  a  few 
hybrid  perpetual  roses  in  pots,  which 
went  all  right.  Hydrangeas  took  well. 
Baby  Ramblers  and  Crimson  Ramblers 
had  quick  takers  at  good  figures. 
Genistas  in  6-ineh  pots  went  at  $1  each. 
Acacia  pubescens  in  8-inch  pots  were 
good  and  sold  at  $4  each;  azaleas  in 
7-inch  pots  at  $1.50  to  $2.  Lilies  brought 
25  cents  per  bloom  and  callas  25  cents 
per  bloom.  Deutzias  were  good  and 
sold  readily;  in  fact,  everything  was 
practically  cleared  out  early  Saturday 
night.  ^ 

VariotM  Notes. 

Spring  weather  has  at  last  set  in  and 
gardeners,  florists  and  nurserymen  are 
at  work  in  earnest.  The  long  winter, 
with  its  accompanying  severity  of 
weather,  unusual  in  its  rigor,  has  de- 
layed much  important  outdoor  work; 
therefore,  there  will  be  a  rush  from 
now  on. 

A  few  weeks  ago  it  was  thought  that 
the  number  of  outdoor  trees  and  shrubs 
winter  killed  would  be  small,  but  it 
seems  now  that  considerable  numbers 
suffered  severely.  In  the  past  there  was 
but  little  trouble  experienced  in  winter- 
ing hardy  perpetual  roses.  This  spring 
we  find  hundreds  of  this  class  dead  to 
the  ground,  while  nearly  all  the  hybrid 
teas  left  out  all  winter  are  dead  down 
to  the  ground  if  not  further. 

Carl  and  Mrs.  Jurgens  have  just  re- 
turned from  their  trip  to  Europe. 

Gibson  Bros,  have  given  up  the  store 
on  Bellevuo  avenue,  where  they  did  busi- 
ness for  many  years.  They  have  now 
opened  a  store  on  Washington  square, 
where  they  had  a  splendid  opening 
Easter  week.  The  business  done  during

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


Apbil  4,  1907. 


the  most  rosy  expectations  of  the  firm. 
It  is  a  good  location.  They  offered 
nothing  but  the  highest  grades  in  every 
line  of  stock. 

William  Plumb,  representing  Mr. 
Troy,  of  New  York,  visited  Newport 
last  week,  renewing  old  acquaintances 
and  quietly  looking  around  in  the  inter- 
est of  his  employer. 

Rural  Progress  Conference* 

The  Rural  Progress  Conference  was 
lu'ld  here  on  Tuesday  and  Wednesday 
last  week.  From  the  interest  taken  in 
tlie  preparations  for  the  conference,  it 
might  very  reasonably  have  been  sup- 
jtosed  the  proceedings  would  turn  out 
interesting  from  a  horticultural  point 
of  view;  but,  apart  from  whatever  of 
interest  there  may  be  in  grange  work 
and  agricultural  colleges,  the  first  day 
of  the  conference  was  not  of  much  in- 
terest to   gardeners  or  florists. 

For  the  second  day  Professor  Bailey, 
of  Cornell  University,  was  secured  to 
make  an  address  and  he  did  make  an 
address  and  a  good  one,  but  not  on  any 
subject  connected  with  horticulture; 
hence  the  disappointment  of  the  garden- 
ers and  florists  who  attended.  The  fail- 
ure of  Professor  Bailey  in  this  respect 
was,  doubtless,  no  fault  of  his.  It  was 
arranged,  no  doubt,  with  the  best  in- 
tentions by  the  farmers  on  the  commit- 
tee, who,  I  suppose,  could  not  resist  the 
temptation  this  opportunity  afforded  of 
placing  their  ancient  calling  upon  as 
high  a  plane  as  an  address  on  "Agri- 
culture"  by   Professor  Bailey  afforded. 

Among  the  other  speakers  at  the  con- 
ference  were : 

Dexter  M.  Eogers,  in  charge  of 
United  States  gipsy  moth  work  in  New 
England;  Professor  Wheeler,  President 
Butterfield,  of  Amherst  College,  and 
I'rofessor  Edwards,  of  the  Ehode  Island 
Agricultural  College.  B.  K. 

Henderson,  Ky. — C.  A.  Morgan,  for- 
merly of  Madisonville,  is  now  manager 
of  the  Morgan  Floral  Co.,  this  being  a 
new  firm  that  has  bought  the  stock  and 
leased  the  place  of  W.  R.  Conover. 

DiGHTON,  Mass.  —  Manager  Place,  of 
the  Dighton  Nursery  Co.,  has  hired  the 
greenhouse  of  the  Macker  estate  and 
will  use  it  when  he  transplants  his  bed- 
ding stock.  He  had  Easter  exhibits  in

PACIFIC  COAST. 


The  California  Fruit  Growers'  Asso- 
ciation, with  a  capital  of  $1,000,000, 
has  been  licensed  to  do  business  in  Mis- 
souri, with  an  office  in  St.  Louis. 

Seattle,  Wash. — Sandahl  &  Son,  who 
do  business  as  the  Puget  Sound  Nursery 
&  Seed  Co.,  have  removed  from  1123 
Second  avenue  to  120  Pike  street,  cor- 
ner Second  avenue. 

The  Santa  Barbara  Nursery  Co., 
Santa  Barbara,  Cal.,  has  been  incor- 
porated to  conduct  a  general  nursery  of 
palms,  evergreens  and  shrubbery.  The 
officers  are:  President,  Joseph  Sexton; 
vice-president,  Louis  F.  Horner;  secre- 
tary and  manager,  W.  J.  Pettingell;  di- 
rectors, Ernest  Sexton  and  Thomas 
Compton.  They  plan  an  institution 
which  will  he  a  credit  to  the  Pacific 
coast. 


CENTRALIA,  WASH. 

This  is  a  place  of  about  6,000  inhab- 
itants, situated  on  the  Northern  Pacific 
railroad  and  about  forty-eight  miles 
south  of  Tacoma.  The  town  is  growing 
rapidly  and  business  is  lively.  In  1905 
A.  M.  Barnett  built  the  first  greenhouse. 
He  grows  principally  carnations,  mums 
and  ealla  lilies.  Mr.  Kahler  has  built 
two  houses  and  is  growing  lettuces  and 
radishes.  Mr.  Doncaster  is  now  build- 
ing a  house  and  will  grow  flowers. 


PASADENA,  CAL. 

By  the  time '  the  Review  reaches  the 
majority  of  its  readers,  the  second  an- 
nual flower  show  of  the  Pasadena  Gar- 
deners' Association  will  be  well  under 
way.  The  show  is  timed  for  April  4,  5 
and  6.  Last  year's  show  was  a  success, 
but  the  preparations  for  this  year's 
show  have  been  much  more  elaborate. 
The  schedule  includes  seventy-one 
classes  and  covers  all  the  popular  vari- 
eties of  cut  and  bulbous  flowers,  pot 
plants,  designs,  etc.  The  awards  for 
each  class  are:  First  prize,  money  con- 
sideration;  second  prize,  ribbon.

Owing  to  the  continued  dark  weather 
flowers  are  scarcer  than  they  have  been 
at  any  time  during  the  present  year; 
this,  with  the  fact  that  we  had  several 
weeks  of  warm  weather  in  February.  As 
a  result,  the  blossoms  on  both  carnations 
and  roses  were  forced  out  somewhat  be- 
fore their  season.  We  are  now  in  the 
center  of  the  reaction  and  stock  is  very 
scarce.  The  exception  is  outside  bulbous 
stock  and  violets.  Calla  lilies  are  plen- 
tiful and  can  be  had  as  low  as  $7.50  per 
thousand.  They  were  shipped  to  the  in- 
terior in  large  numbers  for  Easter  deco- 
rations. * 

Lilium  Harrisii,  both  from  the  fact 
that  the  bulbs  have  not  proven  to  be  up 
to  the  mark  and  also  that  there  were  so 
few  plantings  here,  have  reached  the 
high-water  mark.  The  cut  lilies  are  sell- 
ing from  $1  to  $5  per  dozen  wholesale, 
while  those  in  pots  cost  the  stores  from 
$6  to  $15  per  dozen.  This  shows  what  a 
difference  in  quality  is  to  be  had  and 
what  a  range  of  prices  is  enjoyed  here. 
At  the  same  time  it  is  evident  that  there

Shipping  orders  among  the  dealers  are 
fully  up  to  the  average  and  there  is  but 
little  complaint  from  any  cause,  except 
the  weather.  Green  stuff,  for  church 
decorations,  moves  well  and  there  is  a 
good  demand  for  smilax  and  ferns.  The 
regular  transient  trade  has  been  quiet  for 
the  last  week,  but  the  weather  has  par- 
ticularly been  to  blame.

California  Powder  Works,  at  Pinole,  Cal., 
is  in  town. 

The  price  of  Lilium  Harrisii  is  twice 
that  of  one  year  ago  and  the  quality  of 
the  flowers  is  much  poorer  than  we  have 
been  used  to  for  many  years. 

Charles  Stappenbeck  reports  a  heavy 
Easter  trade  for  all  lines  of  stock.  His 
firm  makes  a  specialty  of  nothing  but 
high-class  goods. 

The  California  Evergreen  Co.  has  been

The  32d  annual  convention  will  be  held  at  De- 
troit, Mich.,  June,  1907. 


Horticultural  art  books  are  what 
they  call  the  modern  nursery  catalogues. 

The  notice  of  the  death  of  Thomas  H. 
Douglas,  of  E.  Douglas '  Sons,  "VYaukegan, 
111.,  will  be  found  under  the  heading 
"The  Death  Roll,"  on  another  page  of 
this  issue. 

A  CHARTER  has  been  granted  to  the 
Abilene  Nursery  Co.,  of  Abilene,  Tex,, 
capitalized  at  $10,000.  The  incorporat- 
ors are  W.  D.  Batjer,  W.  A.  Minter,  Jr., 
and  J.  V.  Cockrell. 

A  CERTIFICATE  of  incorporation  has 
been  issued  to  the  Apple  Growers'  Asso- 
ciation, of  Carrollton,  Mo.,  with  a  cap- 
ital of  $2,000.  The  incorporators  are 
Emil  Heins,  J.  C.  Cooper,  S.  K.  Turner, 
G.  T.  Welch,  E.  E.  Estle. 

J.  H.  Elem  and  Vanarsdale  Bros.,  of 
"Wichita,  Kan.,  have  incorporated  a  com- 
pany and  will  plant  75,000  forest  trees 
this  spring  in  Woodward  county,  Okla- 
homa. The  sale  was  made  by  the  Wich- 
ita Nursery,  W.  F.  Schell,  proprietor. 

At  Phoenix,  Ariz.,  J.  K.  Wheat  and 
I.  L.  Hill  have  undertaken  to  establish 
a  nursery.  On  account  of  the  lateness  of 
the  season  not  much  stock  will  be  planted 
this  spring,  but  several  cars  of  northern 
trees  and  shrubs  are  going  into  the 
ground. 

Dr.  W.  S.  Webb  commenced  planting 
white  pines  and  spruces  on  his  extensive 
Shelburne  Farms  estate  at  Burlington, 
Vt.,  April  1.  About  100  men  are  em- 
ployed on  the  work  and  many  thousands 
of  trees  will  be  set  out.  He  has  done 
this  transplanting  of  the  hilltops  and 
other  rough  land  on  his  big  estate  on 
Lake  Champlain  since  1891,  in  which 
year  the  first  25,000  were  set  out.  With 
more  such  public  spirited  men  the  re- 
forestation problem  of  New  England's 
mountains  would  soon  be  solved. 


SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS. 

There  are  few  hardy  plants  that  give 
more  satisfaction  to  customers  than  pe- 
onies. Consequently  when  patrons  are 
ordering  mixed  lots  of  hardy  plants, 
leaving  the  selection  to  the  seller,  the 
latter  should  never  fail  to  include  pe- 
onies in  the  collection. 

Rhododendron  maximum  is  very  ef- 
fective for  grouping  and  for  borders  in 
front  of  large  specimen  trees.  When  in 
flower  they  make  a  pretty  show  and 
after  the  flowers  are  gone  the  foliage 
remains  a  beautiful  rich  green  all 
through  the  year.  R.  maximum  thrives 
best  in  a  partially  shaded  situation  and 
when  planted  in  soil  containing  at  least 
some  leaf-mold.  Well-rotted  manure, 
lightly  forked  over,  will  also  help  it 
along. 

Clematis  paniculata  is,  by  all  odds, 
the  most  satisfactory  vine  to  plant  when 
something  that  will  bloom  freely  is  de- 
sired. And,  although  it  comes  into  bloom 
somewhat  late  in  the  season,  it  is,  not- 
withstanding, ahead  of  most  other  things, 
although  some  of  them  come  in  earlier 
and  continue  longer  in  bloom. 

Crimson   Raaibler  roses  are,  in  most

instances,  seen  growing  upright,  and 
gorgeous  they  are,  too,  for  a  time. 
This  rose  makes  a  good  subject  for 
planting  in  beds  of  any  desired  size. 
The  •wood  should  be  tied  down  to  wires 
attached  to  and  strung  from  neat  posts 
placed  in  the  beds,  the  tops  of  the  posts 
not  more  than  eighteen  inches  from  the 
surface.  Under  favorable  conditions  the 
second  season  after  planting  the  plants 
tied  to  these  wires  will  cover  the  entire 
surface  of  the  beds,  making  when  in 
bloom  something  unique  and  effective 
without   resulting  nakedness.         K.  R. 


OUTDOOR  ROSES. 

Kose   Dorothy  x'erkins   is   one   of   the 

•best  varieties   for  various  purposes.     It 

makes  a  handsome  thing  when  grown  in 

pots   and   it   is   also   beautiful   when   in 

^bloom  on  a  porch  or  piazza. 

Lady  Gay  much  resembles  Dorothy 
Perkins  and  a  purchaser  will  lose  noth- 
ing if  he  has  to  take  an  equal  number 
of   each  variety. 

There  are  many  beautiful  varieties  of 
hybrid  perpetual  roses,  but  I  doubt  very 
much  if  there  is  a  white  to  beat  Frau 
Karl  Druschki. 

For  outdoor  planting,  hybrid  tea  roses 
were  left  very  much  alone  because  their 
cultivation  entailed  the  necessity  of  lift- 
ing them  for  winter  protection.  The 
great  number  of  exceedingly  good  va- 
rieties which  have  recently  come  to  no- 
tice or  have  been  introduced,  along  with 
a  better  understanding  of  their  merits 
as  a  class,  has  placed  these  roses  in  a 
light  where  a  little  extra  work  is  not 
grudged.  They  bloom  freely  and  con- 
tinuously. 

Baby  Rambler  roses  on  standard 
stems  are  now  offered.  If  they  are  able 
to  survive  in  that  form  a  bright  future 
is   assured  for  them. 

For  a  bedding  rose  in  pink,  there  is 
nothing  to  beat  that  old  favorite,  Her- 
mosa,  but  it  is  useless  for  cutting. 

Outdoor  roses,  hybrid  perpetuals,  hy- 
brid teas  and  especially  trailing  and 
climbing  roses  can  be  produced  in  this 
country  equal  in  quality  to  those  im- 
ported; therefore,  there  is  no  reason 
why  American  growers  should  not  sup- 
ply the  demand.  E.  E.

spection  of  nurseries  iff  Utah,  chief 
among  which  is  the  provision  that  all 
trees  sold  from  nurseries  must  be  in- 
spected after  they  are  dug.  Heretofore 
trees  have*  been  inspected  before  being 
taken  from  the  ground  and  the  inspect- 
ors have  been  unable  to  detect  root  dis- 
eases accurately.  Nurserymen  must  no- 
tify the  state  board  of  horticulture  five 
days  before  digging  up  trees. 

All  nurserymen  of  the  state  must  take 
out  licen^s  before  they  can  carry  on  a 
regular  nursery  business.  The  licenses 
vary,  costing  from  $10  to  $50,  according 
to  their  provisions. 

One  of  the  most  important  provisions 
of  the  new  law  is  that  making  fumiga- 
tion of  all  trees  brought  into  the  state 
obligatory.  Heretofore  trees  brought  in 
from  the  east,  accompanied  by  a  certifi- 
cate of  fumigation,  have  been  allowed 
to  go  into  Utah  nurseries  without  being 
touched  by  local  state  inspectors.  Eail- 
roads  must  now  notify  the  state  horti- 
culture agents,  as  well  as  the  nursery- 
men to  whom  trees  are  consigned,  of 
the  arrival  of  shipments.  Fumigation 
points  are  to  be  established  about  the 
state  for  fumigating  imported  trees. 

Nurserymen  in  general  are  said  to  be 
elated  over  the  passage  of  the  new  law, 
claiming  that  while  it  will  work  hard- 
ships on  a  few  at  first  it  will  result  in 
greatly  benefiting  the  nursery  business 
of  the  state  within  a  comparatively  short 
time.  The  nursery  business  of  Utah 
amounted  to  about  $175,000  last  year, 
and  this  year  it  is  expected  it  will  run 
well  over  $250,000.

The  Easter  Trade. 

We  have  had  a  fine  business  and  much 
more  stock  of  all  kinds  has  br«n  sold 
than  last  year;  but  against  this  is  the 
fact  that  the  prices  obtained  were  in 
many  cases  less  than  a  year  ago.  What 
acted  as  such  a  clog  to  higher  prices 
for  both  plants  and  cut  stock  was  the 
wave  of  summer  heat  we  have  had  to 
contend  Avith.  The  temperature  has  for 
a  fortnight  ranged  from  75  to  80  de- 
grees. Again,  the  amount  of  bulb  stock 
'  was  enormous ;  so  much  so  that  tulips 
and  narcissi  went  to  customers  for  35

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


April  4,  1907. 


great  run.  In  plants,  Dutch  hyacinths 
were  in  greater  demand  than  ever,  sin- 
gle varieties  being  the  best  sellers. 
Crimson  Kamblers  went  well,  and  so  also 
did  azaleas,  but  spiraeas  and  hydrangeas 
sold  only  fair.  Some  geranium  in  bloom 
were  favorites.  Lilies  were  sold  out, 
being  in  short  supply. 

The  Florists'  Club. 

Tuesday  evening,  March  26,  the  club 
held  its  regular  meeting  in  its  rooms  in 
the  Brent  building,  with  President  Ste- 
phens in  the  chair.  The  committee  on 
the  chrysanthemum  show  recommended 
a  schedule  of  prizes,  which  was  ap- 
proved. Perhaps  the  most  important  is- 
sue the  club  has  ever  had  to  contend 
with  was  reported  by  the  committee  on 
children's  gardens.  As  yet  the  board 
of  education  has  withheld  permission  to 
distribute,  as  in  past  years,  the  penny 
packets  of  flower  and  vegetable  seeds  to 
the  children  of  the  public  schools.  With- 
out this  permission  the  home  and  school 
garden  moyement  cannot  go  on.  Owing 
to  the  near  approach  of  Easter,  the  flo- 
ral display  at  this  meeting  was  not  so 
large  as  usual.  The  awards  were  as  fol- 
lows: For  a  fine  specimen  Empress  of 
India  azalea,  I.  D.  Siebert  received 
twenty  points,  and  K.  A.  Currie  for 
Hydrangea  Otaksa,  fifteen  points.  Our 
next  meeting  will  be  April  9. 

Various  Notes. 

Underwood  Bros.,  at  their  Central 
Market  stand,  had  a  large  stock  of 
Easter  plants,  including  especially  aza- 
leas, Dutch  hyacinths  and  cinerarias. 

W.  H.  Schwartzwalder,  a  nurseryman 
of  Gallipolis,  Ohio,  will  enter  the  pub- 
lic competition  and  try  to  secure  the 
contract  for  furnishing  and  planting  the 
street  trees  needed  by  our  city. 

The  Franklin  Park  Floral  Co.  had  an 
elaborate  Easter  display  for  the  general 
public,   Thursday,   March  28. 

Axel  C.  Pharro  Gagge,  the  landscape 
architect  who  recently  came  here  from 
New  York,  will  be  married  in  that  city 
this  week.  His  bride,  Miss  Edith  Wes- 
ton-Smith, comes  from  London,  where 
she  has  been  studying  landscape  archi- 
tecture at  the  Kew  Botanic  Garden. 

The  Livingston  Seed  Co.  furnished  a 
\-ery  attractive  display  of  palms,  ferns 
and  other  foliage  plants  for  the  formal 
opening  of  the  Livingston  dry  goods 
,ind  department  stores.  Besides  the 
jilants  a  large  quantity  of  cut  stock  was 
used. 

John  Brust  has  been  bringing  in  some 
most  excellent  plants  of  Primula  ob- 
lonica. 

Gustave  Drobish  has  for  some  weeks 
been  disposing  of  great  numbers  of  well- 
l)loomed  Crimson  Kamblers  at  his  mar- 
ket stand. 

S.  N.  Kiner  &  Son  are  making  an 
especial  push  with  street  tree  planting. 
They  furnish  and  plant  maples  and  pop- 
lars at  from  $1.50  to  $5  each,  accord- 
ing to  size,  within  the  city  limits. 

J.  R.  Hellenthal  made  a  special  effort 
all  Easter  week  to  advertise  his  firm  as 
large  handlers  of  carnations.  His  spe- 
cial offer  was  25  cents  per  dozen.  No 
wonder  they  were  busy.  Zero. 


The  Fifth  Avenue  Floral  Co. 

This  company  has  purchased  four  lots 
on  Seventh  avenue  and  will  erect  a  large 
plant  in  addition  to  the  plant  in  opera- 
tion on  Fifth  avenue.  Plans  have  been 
})repared  for  two  houses,  each  27x400 
feet.     The  present  plant  will  also  be  im-

PITTSBUHG. 


Easter  Business. 

The  Monday  after  Easter  found  every- 
one connected  with  ihe  flower  or  plant 
business  more  or  less  "dopey"  and  it  is 
hard  to  get  much  satisfaction  out  of 
anyone,  except  that  "it  was  a  good 
Easter,  all  right."  The  weather  was 
fine,  especially  for  the  plantsmen. 

There  was  an  awful  mess  of  rubbish 
sent  into  the  market,  in  the  shape  of 
overripe  bulb  stock,  which  was  usually 
lost.  No  doubt  most  of  this  stock  would 
have  been  just  right  under  ordinary  cir- 
cumstances, but  five  days  with  the  mer- 
cury in  the  eighties  put  the  tulips  and 
narcissi  entirely  to  the  bad.  However, 
this  may  teach  the  growers  a  lesson  they 
are  slow  to  learn,  that  they  do  not  need 
to  grow  such  quantities  of  that  kind  of 
stock  for  the  Pittsburg  market,  as  the 
people  prefer  other  things  to  bulb  stock 
at  Easter  time. 

Violets  also  showed  the  effects  of  the 
hot  days  and  -Inost  of  them  came  in 
pretty  bad.  Nearly  all  of  them  were 
falling  more  or  less  and  none  were  really 
sw€et.  Beauties  sold  cheaper  than  ever 
before  for  Easter  and  the  stock  was  fine. 
There  were  also  quantities  of  very  poor 
lilies  and  many  of  these  were  still  on 
hand  after  Easter.  Callas,  which  have 
found  ready  sale  right  along,  would  not 
move  at  all. 

The  general  report  from  the  whole- 
salers was  that  it  was  the  best  Easter 
in  the  sense  of  more  stock  being  han- 
dled, but  for  less  money.  The  volume  of 
business  was  greater,  the  only  complaint 
being  the  quantity  of  garbage  they  were 
compelled  to  handle  without  any  hope 
of  being  paid  for  the  trouble. 

The  retailers  have  done  well  in  most 
cases.  They  cleaned  up  nicely  and  ev- 
eryone was  happy,  but  tired. 

The  plantsmen  sold  everything  they 
had  and  at  fair  prices,  more  plants  being 
handled  than  ever  before,  everything 
being  cleaned  up. 

Various  Notes. 

Some  funny  things  happen  when  the 
boys  get  tired  out.  One  of  the  retailers 
is  reported  to  have  called  up  a  whole- 
saler and  while  he  was  giving  an  order 
went  to  sleep.  They  called  him  up  on

receiver  at  his  ear. 

Mr.  McClements,  who  was  confined  to

the  bulb  stock  in  good  shape  for  the 
annual  Easter  display,  but  he  managed 
things  and  was  well  repaid  for  his  trou- 
ble, many  thousands  visiting  the  con- 
servatory Sunday.  Hoo-Hoo. 


YOU    CAN'T    GO    ASTRAY    ON 

Rose-Pink  Enchantress 

IT  IS  A  SURE  THINQ— Sure  to  yield  you  handsome  returns;  a  sure  all-round  winner. 
Here  is  one  of  a  number  of  letters  worthy  of  perusal : 

We  have  so  many  failures  put  on  the  market  In  these  late  years  that  it  is  a 
pleasure  to  strike  something:  that  is  really  good.  This  we  can  say  of  the  Rose-Pink 
Enchantress,  having  all  the  merits  of  a  good  Carnation,  this  meaning  a  free 
bloomer,  beautiful  color  and  a  fine  commercial  Hower.  A  practical,  excellent 
Oarnation.  MINNEAPOLIS  FLORAL  CO..  Minneapolis,  Minn. 

Wanttoiee  some  more?  Then  write  me  and  I  will  mail  you  a  circular  containing 
twenty-odd  more  letters — letters  from  parties  perhaps  well  known  to  you,  either  personally 
or  by  reputation. 

But  the  R08K-PINK  ENCHANTRKSB  needs  no  "talking-up."  It  has  made  its 
name  and  ic  has  come  to  stay  until  —  until  something  better  takes  its  place.  Until  that  time 
comes  be  sure  you  don't  miss  the  BOSK-PINK  BNCHAKTRB88. 

Having  filled  all  my  orders,  I  am  now  ready  to  serve  those  who  failed  to  get  in  on  the 
earlier  lots.    I  have  the  following  to  offer : 

18.000   OR  MORI,   READY  APRIL  8.

Easter  Trade. 


In  spite  of  such  unusually  torrid 
weather  for  March,  the  Easter  season 
was  quite  successful.  All  the  stores 
presented  a  brilliant  appearance,  the 
flowers  being  banked  attractively,  both 
inside  and  out,  in  great  profusion.  Aza- 
leas and  bulbous  stock  were  once  more 
in  demand  and  commanded  good  prices. 
Geo.  H.  Cooke  "s  store  was  banked  with 
fine  specimen  plants  of  azaleas,  hydran- 
geas and  rhododendrons.  Geo.  C.  Shaf- 
fer had  his  usual  large  Easter  display 
of  nice  plants,  which  attracted  much  at- 
tention. Gude  Bros.  Co.  had  its  whole 
store  filled  with  many  varieties  of  at- 
tractive plants,  and  in  front  of  the  en- 
trance was  a  magnificent  specimen  plant 
of  Bougainvillea  glabra,  some  six  feet 
tall,  around  which  w^ere  banked  azaleas 
and  other  seasonable  plants. 

There  was  a  noticeable  scarcity  of 
Easter  lilies,  and  those  seen  were  of 
poor  quality  as  compared  with  former 
years.  There  is  much  complaint  among 
the  growers  in  regard  to  the  diseased 
bulbs  received  from  abroad  and  attend- 
ant losses  on  same.  It  is  also  claimed 
the  varieties  were  not  all  true  to  name. 
But  few  lilies  of  standard  height  were 
seen,  and  in  all  cases  a  scarcity  of  flow- 
ers prevailed.  Business  is  all  one  could 
expect,  even  at  this  season,  and  the  re- 
tailers have  all  they  can  do  to  fill  or- 
ders. Prices  are  almost  identical  with 
former  years. 

The  well-known  poet,  John  A.  Joyce, 
of  Georgetown,  D.  C,  favored  Gude  Bros. 
Co.  with  the  following  poem  as  an  Eas- 
ter tribute: 

Gude.   Gude.    through  the  hours. 
Strewing  life   with   frasrant   flowers. 
Fill  the  soul  with  tbongbts  divine, 
Pleader  of   the  superfine, 
(ilorious   In   church  or  state, 
Ever   working,    never   late. 
To  entrance  all   humau  powers 
By  his  brilliant  bud  and  flowers. 

J.  L.  Carbery.

MABELLE 

NEW  PINK  CARNATION  POR  1907 

Color— A  peculiar  ihade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lighter  than  the  Law- 
ton.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the  brightest  sun  does  not 
injure  the  color.  8l«o— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
eatablished.  Odor  —  Pleasing,  but  not  strong. 
Stems— Invariably  strong,  but  always  graceful,  rang- 
ing from  12  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Habit, 
•to. — A  very  quick,  active  grower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  On  ac- 
count of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  very 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  away  rapidly,  blooms  early 
and  gives  long  stems  ri^ht  from  the  start.  Prodnct- 
iTenest- Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
use  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  and

BALTIMORE. 


Easter  Trade. 


The  Easter  trade  was  in  a  rush  the 
early  part  of  the  week,  gradually  slack- 
ening until  Saturday  and  then  a  steady 
demand  persisted  until  a  late  hour.  The 
market  was  a  glut  of  bulbous  flowers, 
which  sold  at  disappointing  prices,  and 
it  is  feared  that  many  of  the  growers 
did  not  get  enough  out  of  them  to  meet 
their  bills.  Some  said  it  was  a  failure. 
Thousands  of  flowers  came  in  from  the 
south  and  anybody  who  had  a  little 
change  hustled  to  the  commission  men 
and  back  to  the  market,  where  they  of- 
fered flowers  at  such  a  price  that  anyone 
could  get  a  fine  bunch  for  50  cents.  Our 
own  growers  could  only  look  on  while 
their  stock  nearly  all  faded  away. 

The  retail  stores  looked  as  though  they 
fared  better  than  the  market  florists.  A 
good  many  of  them  sold  out  and  received 
far  better  prices.  Many  church  decora- 
tions were  required  and  not  until  a  late 
hour  was  the  work  finished. 

Carnations  retailed  at  from  50  cents 
to  75  cents  a  dozen.  Violets,  50  cents 
a  hundred  and  up.  Jonquils  retailed  at 
ridiculous  prices.  Rose  buds  were  offered 
at  50  cents  a  dozen,  while  American 
Beauties  sold  for  from  $12  to  $18  a 
dozen.  Tulips  and  hyacinths  went  at 
any  old  price.  Lilies  sold  for  25  cents 
a  bloom.  There  were  a  great  many  ex- 
tra fine  Crimson  Ramblers,  azaleas  and 
hydrangeas  on  the  market,  which  sold  at 
good  prices.  .... 

VafiottcNoU*. 

James  Glass  had  one  of  the  prettiest 
stalls  in  the  market  and  it  did  not  take 
him  long  to  have  a  photograph  taken 
of  it. 

Mr.  Hess,  Waverly,  had  a  fine  lot  of 
azaleas  and  disposed  of  nearly  all  of 
them. 

C.  B.  Hoffman  lost  over  3,000  violets 
last  week  by  the  hot  siin.  Shading  was 
of  no  consequence. 

iS'.  C.  Davis,  Landsdowne,  Md.,  who 
was  thought  to  have  smallpox  and  who 
was  quarantineu,  is  suing  the  board  of 
health. 

The  private  gardeners  are  patronizing 
home  trade  this  year  far  better  than  the 
past.  Some  of  the  seedsmen-  are  behind 
in  getting  their  spring  orders  out.  The 
counter  trade  this  year  is  extremely 
heavy.  The  grass  seed  orders  this  year 
exceed  those  of  last  season.        J.  L.  T. 


Dutch  Kills,  N.  Y. — Joseph  Myrtle 
was  shot  the  night  of  March  27,  at  Sher- 
man and  Wilmer  streets,  Long  Island 
City.  It  is  suspected  that  an  Italian 
did  the  shooting.  Mr.  Myrtle  was  not 
severely  wounded.

GRAND  RAPIDS. 


Easter  Business. 

March  was  the  mildest  known  in  many 
years,  being  a  veritable  April  in  spring- 
like mildness.  Lilies  were  the  center  of 
action.  Every  effort  was  made  to  get 
them  in,  the  weather  doing  its  share, 
with  the  result  that  some  of  them  were 
just  right,  but  others  were  in  too  soon, 
causing  considerable  waste.  One  prom- 
inent grower  had  to  cut  his  house  of 
blooms  on  Monday,  in  order  to  save  it, 
and  a  house  that  was  to  come  in  after 
Easter  could  not  •  be  hurried  along  fast 
enough  to  get  in  for  pot  plants,  so  he 
thus  straddled  Easter.  That  florist 
bought  his  pot  plants  of  lilies  for  Eas- 
ter. There  were  any  number  of  Crimson 
Ramblers  to  be  had,  as  no  one  had  diffi- 
culty in  getting  them  in.  A  great  many 
were  sola,  but  they  did  not  move  as 
freely  as  in  former  years.  Azaleas  sold 
well,  and  cleaned  up  close.  Bulb  stock 
was  in  good  demand,  but  it  was  lilies 
that  sold  and  there  was  hardly  a  salable 
plant  of  them  left  in  town;  even  the 
large  dry  goods  stores  had  lilies  to  sell. 

Cut  flowers  were  plentiful  on  account 
of  the  fine  weather.  Carnations  were 
cleaned  up.  Roses  were  equal  to  the  de- 
mand, but  the  supply  was  great,  as  they 
were  in  full  crop.  Violets  were  much 
called  for  and,  although  the  cut  seemed 
ample,  it  was  soon  exhausted.  Lady 
Campbell  violets  in  pans  sold  like  hot 
cakes.  There  was  not  a  florist  but  did 
a  record-breaking  business.  While,  there 
was  no  wrapping  required  on  Saturday, 
and  all  had  extra  delivery  wagons,  it  was 
not  till  late  Sunday  afternoon  that  de- 
liveries were  all  made. 

It  has  been  a  most  satisfactory  Eas- 
ter, the  volume  of  business  being  fully 
twenty  per  cent  greater  than  last  year. 
There  was  no  great  advance  in  prices, 
but  the  quantities  available  and  sold 
more  than  made  up.  G.  F.  C. 


LEBANON,  TENN. 

The  business  of  the  Lebanon  Floral 
Co.,  which  was  organized  here  a  short 
time  ago,  has  increased  to  such  an  ex- 
tent that  it  has  become  necessary  to  en- 
large its  capacity.  A  large  tract  of 
land  has  been  purchased  and  an  addi- 
tional greenhouse  is  being  erected.  The 
greenhouse  and  gardening  will  be  under 
the  direction  of  J.  Alexison,  of  Chicago. 
He  will  grow  a  large  variety  of  flowers, 
ornamental  plants,  and  vegetables. 


Albany,  X.  Y. — Michael  F.  Leonard 
will  shortly  open  a  store  on  North  Broad- 
way.

Easter  Trade. 


Easter  business  was  good ;  the  gen- 
eral report  is  that  it  was  tlie  best  ever 
experienced.  The  weather  could  have 
been  a  great  deal  better,  as  it  turned 
cold  and  windy  Friday  and  heavy  wrap- 
"  ping  of  plants  was  necessary.  Com- 
plaints of  frozen  plants  are  general,  and 
practically  all  in  the  trade  sustained 
some  loss  on  that  account.  Lilies  were 
good.  Practically  all  were  well  sup- 
plied and  disposed  of  them  to  good  ad- 
vantage, selling  out  early.  Azaleas  sold 
well  and  good  prices  were  obtained. 
Spirfeas  likewise  were  sold  in  large 
numbers.  The  sale  on  Deutzia  gracilis 
was  somewhat  disappointing,  possibly 
due  to  the  fact  that  it  has  not  been 
grown  for  Easter  trade  in  this  section 
in  previous  seasons.  Baby  Ramblers 
were  slow  sale  and  a  number  are  still  on 
hand.  Potted  bulbous  stock  moved 
about    the    same    as   in    former    seasons. 

Cut  flowers  of  all  kinds  sold  well  on 
Saturday.  Violets  were  especially  in 
demand  and  with  some  of  the  trade  it 
was  difficult  to  fill  orders.  Roses  were 
abundant  and  all  had  more  or  less  on 
hand  Sunday.  Carnations  sold  nicely, 
but  the  stock  was  fully  equal  to  the  de- 
mand. In  most  of  the  stores  plants 
were  entirely  sold  out,  while  in  others 
they  still  have  enough  on  hand  with 
which  to  put  up  a  display. 

Minneapolis. 

The  Donaldson  Co.  put  up  some  hand- 
some window  displays  last  week.  They 
report  trade  as  heav}'.  They  disposed  of 
everything. 

Ralph  Latham  put  up  a  handsome 
show.  He  enlarged  his  place  just  in 
time   for  a   large  Easter  business. 

O.  C.  Swanson  put  up  an  excellent 
display  and  is  cleaned  out  of  about 
everything  in  plants  and  cut  flowers. 

St.  PauL 

L.  L.  May  &  Co.  report  trade  as  fully 
up  to  expectations.  Their  lilies  were 
all  sold  early  Saturday  afternoon.  The 
sales  on  cut  flowers  were  a  great  sur- 
prise. 

Holm  &  Olson  report  a  good  busi- 
ness. Friday  evening  they  opened  with 
a  band  concert,  which  attracted  a  great 
many  visitors. 

Chas.  F.  Vogt  reports  the  heaviest 
business  he  ever  had. 

Colberg  &  Lemke  put  up  a  nice  line 
of  Easter  novelties,  for  which  they  ob- 
^  tained  good  figures.  Felix.

Greenhouse  Beating. 


A  NEW  FUEL  SAVER. 

Just  after  the  Toronto  convention  of 
the  American  Carnation  Society  there 
were  a  number  of  visitors  at  the  estab- 
lishment of  W.  J.  Palmer  &  Son,  at  Lan- 
caster, N.  Y.  Not  the  least  interesting 
of  the  things  seen  at  the  time  was  a 
test,  then  in  progress,  of  a  smoke  con- 
sumer which  was  stated  to  also  be  in- 
stalled under  a  guarantee  of  fuel  saving. 
The  makers  thus  describe  the  apparatus: 

"This  apparatus  is  designeu  for  both 
a  fuel  saver  and  smoke  consumer.  This 
is  accomplished  by  generating  a  gas 
from  steam  from  the  boiler,  together 
with  distillate,  which  is  a  by-product  of 
petroleum,  which  is  introduced  into  a  re- 
tort back  of.  the  bridge  wall  of  the  fire- 
box. Here  it  is  superheated  by  the  heat 
from  the  firebox,  which  generates  a  gas 
under  pressure  that  is  led  from  here 
directly  into  the  fire  over  the  grates. 
This  gas,  becoming  ignited,  greatly  in- 
creases the  heat  in  the  firebox,  to  the  ex- 
tent that  the  gases  which  ordinarily  pass 
up  the  chimney  unburned,  and  represent 
a  considerable  loss  of  fuel,  are  ignited, 
and  also  the  carbon  in  suspension,  which 
also  is  not  burned  in  the  ordinary  fire- 
box, is  burned,  thus  removing  all  the 
carbon  in  the  smoke  and  turning  it  into 
heat. 

*  *  In  this  manner  the  gases  and  the 
suspended  carbon  in  the  smoke,  that  are 
at  present  a  source  of  deterioration  to 
the  boilers  and  grates  and  at  the  same 
time  represent  a  considerable  loss  of  fuel, 
are  consumed  by  the  burning  of  this  gas, 
thus  making  a  saving  in  the  fuel  supply 
as  well  as  doing  away  with  the  smoke 
nuisance. ' ' 

Below  are  given  the  results  of  tests 
which  were  made  with  one  horizontal 
boiler  January  26  and  27,  1907,  at  Pal- 
mer &  Son's  greennouse,  at  Lancaster, 
N.  Y.  The  fuel  used  was  bituminous 
coal,  run  of  mine.  The  measurements 
of  the  boiler  are:  Grate  surface,  16 
square  feet;  heating  surface,  732  square 
feet;  shell,  124  square  feet;  tubes,  614 
square  feet.  Test  No.  1  is  without  the 
fuel  saver;  test  No.  2  is  with  the  fuel 
saver.  The  test  was  conducted  by  C.  C.

REARRANGE  HEATING  PIPES. 

We  have  an  east  and  west  house  20x 
100  feet  and  twelve  feet  to  the  ridge, 
with  three  raised  benches.  There  are 
thirteen  2-inch  returns  supplied  by  a  4- 
inch  flow.  We  use  a  hot  water  boiler. 
Upon  tearing  out  the  benches  and  using 
solid^JaedSy-CQuld  we  put  the  returns  on 
each  8i3o  ano'sionnect  direct  with  the 
boiler,  converting  th^ 4-inch  flow  into 
a  return  by  lowering  itf  Where  should 
be  the  highest  point  in  the  system?  We 
wish  to  be  able  to  maintain  a  tempera-

You  can  dispense  with  the  elevated 
benches  and  arrange  the  2-inch  returns 
in  coils  on  the  side  walls  by  elevating 
the  single  4-inch  flow  to  near  the  gable, 
placing  the  highest  point  in  the  flow  at 
the  far  end  of  the  house  and  a  liberal 
fall  in  the  opposite  direction  in  the  re- 
turns. I  do  not  think  it  advisable  to 
attempt  to  make  the  2-inch  pipes  act  as

DETROIT. 

Easter  Trade. 

Everyone  enjoyed  an  exceptionally 
1  cavy  business.  Bain  set  in  the  first 
1  art  of  the  week  and  it  continued  rain- 
jug,  on  and  off,  until  Friday  noon,  when 
\]ie  temperature  dropped  to  just  above 
ide  freezing  point,  'ihe  rain  acted  as  a 
damper  on  the  business  at  first,  but  Sat- 
urday morning  many  of  the  store  men 
could  hardly  handle  the  rush.  The  no- 
ticeable feature,  as  in  1906,  was  the 
large  demand  for  plants.  Lilies,  lilacs, 
rhododendrons,  ramblers,  azaleas,  bulb- 
ous plants,  all  went  well. 

A  spell  of  extremely  hot  weather  a 
week  before  Easter  brought  the  stock  on 
too  fast;  therefore  many  azaleas,  tulips, 
daffodils,  etc.,  were  unsalable.  "Violets 
were  good,  considering  the  hot  spell,  and 
sold  better'  than  for  some  years.  A 
number  of  orchid  blooms  were  disposed 
of.  Valley  and  sweet  peas  sold  well. 
Koses  seemed  to  be  a  dead  number,  ex- 
cepting Beauties,  which  went  well.  Car- 
nations sold  fairly  well.  Some  kept 
poorly,  as  a  result  of  pickling. 

Those  florists  who  had  nice  assortments 
of  blooming  plants  to  offer  no  doubt 
found  that  Easter,  1907,  eclipsed  all 
previous  Easter  records. 

Although  many  made-up  baskets  were 
disposed  of,  the  sale  nowhere  near  came 
up  to  expectations. 

Variouf  Notes. 

J.  F.  Sullivan  rented  a  vacant  store 
adjoining  his  place  and  had  both  stores 
packed  with  a  fine  assortment  of  plants. 
Mr.  Sullivan  is  wondering  how  they  ever 
got  along  without  some  extra  room  at 
previous   Easters. 

Both  Breitmeyer  and  Schroeter  sold 
such  a  lot  of  plants  that  it  was  neces- 
sary to  send  out  a  number  of  loads  in 
moving  vans  and  carriages. 

The  local  commission  men  unite  in 
saying  that  the  year  beat  all  previous 
records;  in  fact,  it  is  so  far  in  the  lead 
that  it  is  doubtful  if  it  will  be  equaled 
in  1908.  H.  S. 


NEW  ORLEANS. 


The  Market 


After  an  exceptionally  mild  winter, 
wlien  roses  and  other  flowers  have  been 
in  abundance  all  the  time,  we  cannot  ex- 
pect to  find  a  great  change  around 
Easter.  Still  the  demand  for  flowers 
has  been  good  and  large  displays  of 
flowers  are  being  made  about  the  city 
among  the  florists,  an  elaborate  one  be- 
ing made  at  the  department  store  of 
•T.  H.  Holmes,  who  is  one  of  the  stock- 
holders of  the  Metairie  Eidge  Nursery 
Co. 

Business  at  the  markets  is  still  quite 
fair,  prices  being  rather  low  in  the  line 
of  ferns  and  flowering  stuff.  Small 
roses  coming  from  the  north  are  dis- 
posed of  in  quantity.  They  seldom  give 
satisfaction  to  customers  and  have  only 
the  advantage  of  being  cheap.  In  the 
<?nd  they  come  higher  than  buying  our 
one-year  stock,  well  established  and 
raised  here.

LOUISVILLE,  KY. 


Easter  Trade. 


Easter  trade,  from  all  reports,  was 
satisfactory  to  the  growers  and  store 
men.  All  of  them  were  well  supplied 
with  all  kinds  of  plants.  Prices  ruled 
about  the  same  as  last  year.  Lots  of 
lilies,  spiraia  and  bulbous  stock  were 
sold;  there  was  also  good  call  for  aza- 
leas and  pot  roses.  Hydrangeas  and 
lilac  cleaned  out  well.  The  only  trou- 
ble was  with  some  stuff  which  had  been 
kept  too  long,  such  as  carnations,  which 
went  to  sleep.  Tulips  and  hyacinth  pans 
sold  well.  Some  fancy  carnations  re- 
tailed at  $1.50  per  dozen.  Maids  and 
Brides  easily  brought  $2.50  per  dozen. 
Sweet  peas  were  plentiful  and  found 
ready  sale.     Violets  sold  well. 

VariotM  Notes. 

A.  B.  Bauirier  made  a  handsome  dis- 
play at  his  store  and  was  kept  busy  till 
late  in  the  night  filling  orders. 

Nanz  &  Neuner  's  store  was  ablaze 
with  all  kinds  of  plants  and  cut  flow- 
ers. Everybody  was  kept  rushing  to  fill 
orders. 

Jacob  Schulz  made  the  display  of  the 
day  in  all  kinds  of  pot  plants.  His  store 
was  like  a  bazaar,  everyone  getting 
plants  and  cut  flowers  out  on  time. 

F.  Walker  &  Co.  had  all  they  could 
attend  to;   lots  of  plants  in  bloom. 

C.  B.  .Thompson 's  whole  force  was 
on  the  go  from  early  in  the  morning  to 
late  in  the  night  to  get  orders  out  on 
time. 

Mrs.  M.  D.  Eeimers  made  a  fine  dis- 
play of  blooming  azaleas  and  lilies. 

William  Walker,  the  good  old  Scot, 
is  smiling,  as  his  bank  account  has 
swelled  to  a  considerable  extent. 

Fred  C.  Haupt's  display  was  a  beauty. 
The  decorations  consisted  of  several  hun- 
dred electric  lights  and  a  large  cross  in 
the  center  lighted  up  with  electric 
lights.  Plants  of  every  description  were 
seen,  from  a  hyacinth  to  a  rhododendron. 

J.  E.  Marrett  took  care  of  his  Easter 
trade   in   Cave  Hill. 

E.  G.  Reimers,  also,  was  rushed  to 
get  out  his  orders  for  the  cemetery. 

Charles  Baynor,  of  the  Anchorage 
Rose  Co.,  who  has  been  quite  ill  of  ty- 
phoid  fever,  is  out  again.

of  the  same,  must  be  possessed  with  good  judgment  and  are  generally  suc- 
cessful.   One  of  our  successful  growers  has  this  year  taken  out  6ooo  feet  of 
wooden  gutters,  which  were  only  5  years  old,  and  replaced  the  same  with  6000  feet 
of  the  GARLAND  IRON  GUTTER,  this  being  his  fifth  annual  order.

Do  You  Want  to  Belong  to  the  Dark  Ages  ? 

The  age  when  the  florists  took  the  materials  a  firm  sold  them,  without  question;  built  their  houses  and  went  on 
struggling  with  shade  and  darkness.  Or  are  you  in  line  with  the  up-to-dater  who  wants  all  the  light  there  is,  and 
believes  in  spending  money  to  save  money  ?     If  you  belong  to  that  class  you  want  our  Half  Iron  Frame  House

U-Bar  greenhouse, 
and  we  have  regularly  adopted 
the  phrase  because  it  certainly 
applies  to  our  houses.  U-Bar 
greenhouses  are  the  best  green-

THE  SICCESSFIL  GROWER 

'^        I  IIL_      ItI'»IH    who  looks  ahead.     He  starts  right  by 

building  houses  that  will  produce  results— houses  that  will  stand  the 
test  when  it  comes  to  growing.  Our  customers  are  successful  because 
they  use  the  right  kind  of  material— you  can't  hope  to  grow  the  right 
kind  of  stock  with  the  wrong  kind  of  a  house.  Here's  a  line  from  the 
most  successful  growers  in  America— you  all  know  them— it's  not  a 
statement  written  by  some  one  you  never  heard  of. 

GENTLEHEN:  "During  the  past  four  years 
we  have  added  375,000  sq  ft.  of  glass  for  which 
you  supplied  the  material.  It  affords  us  great 
pleasure  to  say  that  all  the  material  and  work- 
manship was  highly  satisfactory."

AS  IT 
ACTUALLY  IS 


Just  as  it  looks  —  Cast-iron  Foot  Piece,  Galvanized  Angle 
Iron  Eave  Plate,  Iron  Rafter  and  all — a  combination  of  iron, 
wood  and  brains  that  goes  to  make  the  strongest,  lightest 
and  the  longest  to  last  of  any  greenhouse  construction. 

And  Here's  Why: 

— Cast-iron  Foot  Pieces  last  forever.     Wood  or  wrought-iron 

are  soon  eaten  away  at  grade  line. 
— Baseboard  is  detachable  for  replacing. 
— Rafter  is  bolted  directly  to  foot  piece,  is  bent  at  the  eave  and 

continues  in  one  solid  piece  to  the  ridge. 

— The  Eave  Plate  and  Sashbar  Clasp  make  a  lasting 

joint  and  give  tremendous  strength  to  the  entire  house. 
—Every  part  Is  perfectly  accessible  for  repairs. 
— Send  for  Iron  Frame  Circular  for  the  rest  —  but   send    now« 

For  Sale :    Every  part  or  any  part  for  good  greenhouses.

FUNERAL  WORK. 


Measuring  for  Frames. 

After  receiving  an  order  for  a  funeral 
design  the  first  step  is  to  procure  the 
frame  on  which  to  make  it.  Much  con- 
tusion is  caused  by  not  understanding 
ihe  points  of  measurement  as  used  by 
wire-men,  and  before  going  into  details 
in  regard  to  making  up  work  let  us  run 
over  the  following  standard  table  of 
Tiieasurements  as  put  down  by  a  large 
)nanufacturer  of  wire  work: 

Pillows,  from  corner  "to  corner  across 
the  top. 

Harp,  lyre,  cross,  anchor,  star  and 
crescent,  from  top  to  bottom  of  the 
frame. 

Square  and  compass,  across  outer  cor- 
ners of  the  square. 

Star,  distance  from  the  center  of  the 
star  tt)  a  point,  multiplied  by  two. 

Heart,  top  of  the  heart  to  the  lower 
point. 

Wreath,  wheel,  etc.,  outside   diameter. 

Scroll,  lengthwise  down  the  side. 

Sickle,  end  to  end. 

(Jates  ajar,  top  point  to  the  bottom 
of  the  base. 

Odd  fellows'  links,  end  to  end. 

Bells,  across  the  bottom. 

In  ordering  a  design  on  a  base,  just 
mention  the  name  and  size  of  the  frame 
desired  and  add  that  the  same  is  to  be 
on  a  stand  or  base.  For  instance,  if 
a  24-inch  lyre  is  wanted  on  a  base,  just 
say,  "Twenty-four-inch  lyre  on  base." 
The  base  is  not  included.  When  order- 
ing a  frame  for  some  odd  design,  al- 
ways allow  for  the  space  the  flowers 
will  occupy,  so  that  the  finished  design 
will  be  rightly  proportioned. 

Filling;  the  Frame  With  Moss. 

When  you  have  the  frame,  the  next 
stop  is  filling  it  with  moss  to  hold  the 
flowers.  Sphagnum  moss  is  the  best  for 
111  is  purpose.  As  a  suitable  receptacle 
in  winch  to  keep  the  moss,  secure  a 
strong  box  about  24x36  inches.  This 
will  just  hold  a  bale  of  sphagnum  after 
it  has  been  worked  over,  that  is,  torn 
up  well,  and  moistened  so  it  can  be 
worked  well  into  the  corners  of  the 
frame  and  will  stay  where  put  until  tied 
into  place. 

Before  filling  the  frame  the  back  must 
lie  covered  with  tinfoil  to  hold  the  moss. 
Place  the  foil  underneath  the  frame  and 
l)end  about  one-half  inch  over  the  sides 
to  keep  it  in  place.  For  common  work 
the  plain  tinfoil  is  good  enough,  but 
for  the  better  grade  of  work,  or  more 
expensive  designs  green  foil  is  recom- 
mended, as  it  improves  the  appearance 
<'f  a  design  fully  twenty-five  per  cent. 
On  elaborate  wreaths  the  back  should 
be  covered  with  common  ferns  or  galax 
leaves  fastened  over  the  foil. 

Some  florists  use  ferns  extensively  in- 
stead of  foil.  These  look  well  provid- 
ing enough  are  used.  But  one  objection 
is  that  the  frame  is  exposed  and  the 
ferns  soon  wither  and  shrivel  up,  show- 


ing the  moss  and  giving  your  design  a 
cheap  appearance. 

There  are  probably  as  many  ways  to 
fill  a  frame  with  moss  as  there  are  of 
skinning  a  cat,  but  all  amount  to  the 
same  in  the  end.  I  have  always  found  it 
handy  and  quick  to  first  fill  the  frame 
with  about  as  much  nicely  torn  up  moss 
as  will  bring  it  to  the  desired  thickness 
after  tying.  See  that  all  the  corners  are 
•  nicely  filled.  "Work  from  right  to  left, 
pushing  the  moss  into  place  with  the  left 
hand  and  winding  the  green  thread 
around  the  frame  with  the  right  hand. 
Draw  the  string  just  tightly  enough  so 
that  a  toothpick  can  be  stuck  into  the 
moss  with  the  fingers,  and  stay  in  posi- 
tion. After  the  frame  is  filled  with  moss 
trim  nicely  with  the  shears. 

For  ordinary  use  have  the  moss  about 
even  with  the  top  of  the  frame,  not  two 
or  three  inches  deep,  as  this  only  uses 
up  flowers  and,  if  anything,  detracts 
from  the  appearance  of  the  finished  de- 
sign.    Of  course,   for   wreaths  or   other 


or  lyre  design  it  adds  much  to  the  gen- 
eral appearance  to  have  many  strings 
close  together. 

After  the  frame  has  been  mossed,  the 
next  step  is  to  cover  this  well  with  com- 
mon ferns,  so  that  when  the  flowers  be- 
come wilted  the  moss  does  not  show 
through.  Lay  ferns  over  the  design  and 
fasten  with  a  few  hairpin-shaped  wires. 
Run  a  piece  of  light  smilax  around  the 
edge  of  the  design  to  give  it  a  finished 
appearance. 

I  speak  of  finishing  around  the  edge 
with  smilax.  Many  florists  leave  the 
common  ferns  projecting  over  the  edge 
of  the  design  to  serve  as  a  finish,  but 
the  ferns  wilt  before  the  flowers  and 
then  look  bad. 

Ready  for  the  Flowers. 

Your  pillow  is  now  ready  for  the  flow- 
ers. In  pillows,  as  well  as  in  nearly  all 
design  work,  first  run  around  the  edge 
of  the  design  with  some  small  flowers 
for  edging,  such  as  Eoman  hyacinths 
stemmed  on  toothpicks.  Pinch  the  hya- 
cinth off  halfway  along  the  flower,  then 
pinch  off  the  balance  of  the  flower  and 
stem  the  two  pieces  together.  This  saves 
flowers  and  at  the  same  time  they  do  not 
fall  out  of  place  when  withered.  Of 
course,  you  can  get  along  without  a  small 
flower  for  edging,  but  by  all  means  work 
out  those  parts  of  your  design  first  that 
give  it  its  shape.  Then  lay  out  the  place 
for  the  lettering,  making  a  background 
for  same  with  some  suitable  white  flow- 
ers,  as    carnations,    chrysanthemums,    or 


Pillow  with  a  Portion  Not  Yet  Filled  In. 


pieces  wliore  flowers  are  to  be  arranged 
loosely  it  is  necessary  to  have  the  moss 
several  inches  deep,  so  as  to  hold  the 
flowers  well  in  place.  A  little  good  judg- 
ment will  come  in  handy  here.  In 
pillows,  the  corners  are  filled  first ;  then 
the  center  is  filled  in.  Give  the  pillow 
a  nice,  rounding  shape. 

0>verins;  Bare  Places. 

One  of  the  many  uses  to  which  che- 
nille is  so  well  adapted  is  for  covering 
the  strings  on  floral  designs;  mostly 
harps,  lyres,  etc.  At  times  the  wire 
strings  of  a  design  are  just  bronzed, 
but  this  looks  cheap,  in  my  estimation. 
Different  colors  of  chenille  can  be  used. 
Pink  is  appropriate  for  a  young  person, 
white  for  old  people.     On  a  large  harp 


asters;  but  not  those  with  yellow  cen- 
ters. Use  as  few  cape  flowers  in  your 
work  as  possible,  for  people  want  fresh 
flowers.  When  the  lettering  is  to  run 
from  one  corner  of  the  pillow  to  the 
other,  always  commence  at  the  lower  left- 
hand  corner  and  run  to  the  upper  right. 
Carnations,  chrysanthemums  or  asters 
should  be  cut  short  for  this  purpose,  and 
a  toothpick  stuck  into  the  calyx  of  the 
carnation.  In  the  two  latter  leave  about 
one-quarter  of  an  inch  of  the  stem  on 
the  flower  to  hold  the  toothpick.  If  the 
stem  is  cut  off  right  at  the  flower  the 
pick  will  not  hold  well. 

"When  fastening  the  lettering  on  al- 
ways fasten  the  middle  letter  of  t\w. 
word  or  sentence  first  and  then  work 
each  way.     By  following   this   rule  you

cannot  help  but  get  the  lettering  in  the 
center  of  the  place. 

The  Finished  Design. 

Now  procure  a  few  callas  or  Easter 
lilies  and  arrange  as  in  the  illustration 
on  page  1595,  of  an  unfinished  design. 
Fill  in  the  balance  of  the  space  with 
whatever  is  on  hand,  open  roses,  carna- 
tions, azalea  flowers,  etc.  It  is  not  neces- 
sary to  pack  these  in  tightly  together, 
but  just  close  enough  to  cover  well,  as 
they  serve  but  for  a  background.  Trim 
with  roses,  sweet  peas,  lily  of  the  valley, 
hyacinths,  etc.,  always  letting  the  smaller 
flowers  project  farthest. 

A  pillow  can  also  be  made  loosely  of 
one  or  more  varieties  of  flowers,  such  as 
roses  and  valley,  or  carnations  and  sweet 
peas.  When  no  lettering  is  called  for, 
just  fill  in  the  whole  design  with  flowers 
as  described  above,  or  fill  in  the  piece, 
inside  the  edging,  solidly  with  carnations 
and  throw  a  spray  of  roses  across  the 
center.  H.  S. 

BULBS  FOR  FORCING. 

[A  paper  by  Paul  F.  Rlchter,  of  the  Henry  F. 
Mlchell  (>>.,  read  before  the  Florists'  Club  of 
riilladelphla,   April  2,   1907.] 

Several  months  ago  one  of  your  en- 
thusiastic members  asked  me  if  I  would 
not  give  a  talk  on  something  that  would 
interest  the  florists  at  this  meeting.  I 
gave  the  matter  some  little  thought,  and 
decided  that  a  talk  pertaining  to  bulbs 
would  be  about  the  proper  thing,  espe- 
cially at  this  season  of  the  year,  when 
all  of  you  will  remember  the  different 
successes  and  failures  that  you  have  had 
with  your  bulbous  stock. 

I  am  speaking  now  largely  from  the 
experience  of  the  seedsman,  which,  as 
you  probably  know,  is  more  or  less 
theory.  However,  we  come  in  contact 
with  so  many  different  florists,  who  all 
grow  different  things  and  have  different 
ideas,  that  by  careful  observation,  cor- 
respondence and  in  other  ways,  we  grad- 
ually learn  the  many  different  ways  in 
which  bulbs  are  handled  so  as  to  get 
the  best  results  from  them. 

The  Lily  the  Leader. 

Probably  the  most  important  of  our 
Easter  flowering  plants  is  the  lily.  Some 
florists  force  the  old  type  Harrisii ;  again 
you  will  find  some  using  the  multiflorum, 
which  is  a  Japanese  product,  as  like- 
wise is  the  giganteum.  The  two  latter 
sorts  have  come  into  great  prominence 
during  the  last  few  years  because  of  the 
apparent  few  failures  that  have  occurred 
with  them.  Many  attribute  this  to  the 
fact  that  the  bulb  of  the  Japanese  lily 
is  not  diseased,  while  that  of  the  Har- 
risii is  more  or  less  diseased. 

I  think  you  will  all  agree  with  mo, 
that  the  most  important  thing  for  the 
florists  to  watch  is  not  to  buy  small-size 
bulbs.  It  has  been  proven  that  wherever 
disease  exists,  it  is  in  the  smaller  bulbs, 
as  for  some  reason  or  other  they  gradu- 
ally seem  to  outgrow  any  sickly  condi- 
tions if  the  bulbs  are  more  mature  or 
aged.  •  The  most  profitable  sizes  of  the 
above  mentioned  lilies  to  force  are  the 
7  to  9  size  in  Harrisii  and  the  9  to  10 
size  in  multiflorum  and  giganteum. 

You  all  know  quite  well  the  charac- 
teristics of  the  Harrisii  lily,  while  you 
do  not  all,  probably,  know  the  character- 
istics of  the  multiflorum  and  the  gigan- 
teum lilies.  The  former  produces  a 
greater  abundance  of  bloom ;  in  fact,  i.s 
a  very  free  forcer.  It  is  a  greeii-stommed 
jilant,  while  the  Lilium  giganteum,  which 
does  not  force  so  readily,  is  a  red- 
stemmed    plant,    and    likewise    produces 


fewer  flowers,  although  these   are  of  a 
gigantic  size. 

Root  the  Bulbs  Thoroughly. 

Many  failures,  particularly  with  lilies, 
have  been  traced  to  the  fact  that  the 
bulbs  have  not  been  thoroughly  rooted. 
Many  of  you  probably  try  to  get  the 
very  first  shipments  that  arrive  in  the 
country,  pot  them  up  and  get  them  in 
for  Christmas.  This  is  hardly  necessary 
nowadays,  as  very  good  cold  storage 
lilies  may  be  had  for  this  purpose,  which 
I  will  remark  on  later. 

Lily  bulbs  are  handled  by  almost  every 
florist  in  a  different  manner,  but  we  have 
had  occasion  to  observe  that  those  han- 
dled in  the  following  manner  have 
bloomed  most  successfully,  and  have 
shown  the  least  tendency  to  loss  through 
disease: 

In  potting  the  bulb  you  will  find  a 
small  layer  of  good,  well-rotted  cow 
manure  in  the  bottom  of  the  pot  very 
advantageous;  the  bulb  may  then  be 
placed  on  this  and  the  pot  filled  up  with 
soil.  After  they  have  been  watered 
thoroughly  they  should  be  placed  out- 
doors, say  until  the  first  part  of  October, 
when  the  bulbs  have  been  potted  in 
August.  A  covering  of  sand,  leaves,  or 
some  suitable  litter  on  top  of  the  pots, 
to  protect  them  from  the  ravages  of  the 


Paul  F.  Richter. 


sun,  will  be  found  of  great  benefit. 
When  they  are  brought  in,  say  in  Octo- 
ber, they  can  be  placed  under  the  green- 
house bench  in  a  temperature  of  about 
60  degrees  and  left  there  until  there  is 
room  on  the  top,  or  until  they  are  to  be 
brought  into  warmer  houses  to  force. 
This  method  of  treatment  will  invariably 
produce  strong,  thrifty  plants,  which  will 
give  you  plenty  of  bloom. 

Speaking  of  Japanese  lilies  again,  I 
would  like  to  call  your  attention  to  some 
remarks  made  by  one  of  our  florist  cus- 
tomers in  Akron,  Ohio,  who  purchased 
from  us  4,000  Lilium  giganteum,  9  to  11 
size.    His  remarks  are  as  follows: 

As  Handled  at  Akron. 

"Upon  arrival  of  biillis  \vc  pot  them

coal  ashes  for  drainage  in  the  bottom  of 
the  pots,  and  giving  them  a  soil  com- 
posed of  sandy  loam  and  well  enriched 
with  about  one-third  well-rotted  horse  or 


cow  manure.  The  pots  are  placed  under 
a  dry  bench  in  either  a  violet  or  carna- 
tion house,  soaked  down  with  water  very 
heavily  and  after  two  or  three  days  wci 
cover  the  pots  with  two  or  three  inches 
of  ashes. 

"When  Easter  is  early,  as  it  was  this 
year,  we  place  the  lilies  on  a  bench  after 
January  1,  giving  them  a  temperature  ol' 
60  degrees  at  night  and  70  degrees  days 
for  about  ten  days,  then  70  degrees; 
nights  and  80  degrees  days  until  buds 
can  all  be  counted. 

"During  this  period  we  manure-water 
them  regularly  once  a  week  with  the 
following  liquid:  One  bushel  of  fresh 
cow  manure  and  one  4-inch  potful  of 
nitrate  of  soda  to  each  fifty  gallons  of 
water.  Spray  the  foliage  once  a  day  or 
twice  a  day  in  clear  weather.  We  try 
to  keep  the  house  moist,  otherwise,  by 
spraying  the  walls  and  walks.  It  is  also 
important  to  never  allow  the  soil  to  get 
very  dry,  and  we  never  feed  unless  the 
soil  is  moist. 

"When  the  buds  can  all  be  counted 
easily,  we  move  them  into  houses  where 
we  can  get  the  temperature  down  gradu- 
ally, and  finally  mulch  them  with  either 
a  little  sheep  manure  or  bone  flour, 
which  will  be  sufficient  food  until  they 
are  ready  for  market. 

"Our  experience  with  lilies,  especially 
Japan,  has  proven  to  us  that  the  only 
way  you  can  get  them  good  is  to  force 
them  quickly  and  not  check  them  in 
growth  while  the  temperature  is  kept 
high.  As  the  root  action  becomes  such 
that  they  can  easily  be  knocked  out  of 
the  pots'  without  disturbing  the  ball  of 
earth,  we  shift  them  either  into  5-inch 
or  6-inch  pots,  according  to  strength  of 
the  stock.  Drainage  in  the  pot  is  also 
of  great  importance  when  repotting  is 
done. 

"The  4,000  lilies  obtained  from  you 
this  season  are  a  fine  lot  indeed.  It  may 
be  well  also  to  mention  that  we  use 
Nieoticide  for  fumigating." 

Cold  Storage  Bulbs. 

The  cold  storage  lilies,  which  are  now 
coming  into  great  favor,  are  confined 
principally  to  the  varieties  of  longiflorum, 
multiflorum,  and  giganteum.  The  latter 
variety,  however,  is  much  more  desirable, 
as  it  seems  to  stand  forcing  better  than 
the  other  two  sorts.  Longiflorum  is  the 
next  best,  while  multiflorum  is  probably 
the  poorest  of  the  lot,  as  it  is  somewhat 
soft,  probably  due  to  the  fact  that  in  the 
green  state  it  is  the  most  free  forcer  of 
the  Japan  lilies. 

To  obtain  the  best  results,  cold  storage 
bulbs  should  be  potted  immediately  upon 
being  received  by  the  florist;  and  we 
would  suggest  very  much  the  same  method 
of  potting  as  that  applied  to  the  bulbs 
as  they  were  handled  by  our  florist 
friend  of  Akron,  Ohio,  whom  I  mentioned 
bcforo.  They  should  be  placed  in  a  dark, 
cool  place;  probably  under  the  bench  of 
the  potting  house  would  be  the  best. 
They  should  then  be  left  there  in  a  cool 
tomperaturc  as  long  as  possible,  until 
the  pots  are  well  filled  with  root  growth. 
This  can  be  determined  sooner  or  later 
by  examining  them. 

They  should  then  be  removed  to  a 
greenhouse  and  started  off  at  a  tempera- 
ture of  about  50  degrees  to  55  degrees 
and  kept  at  this  temperature  until  the 
bud  parts,  or  flowers,  set.  Then  the 
warmth  may  be  increased  to  60  degrees 
or  65  degrees  to  70  degrees.  This  will 
draw  the  plant  to  its  proper  height  and 
rapidly  develop  the  buds  and  flowers  at 
the  same  time. 

Cold    storage    lilies    should    commend

themselves  to  every  florist  who  grows 
lilies,  if  it  were  only  for  the  one  reason 
that  they  can  be  brought  into  flower  in 
twelve  weeks  from  the  time  they  are 
potted.  As  can  readily  be  understood,  it 
requires  the  space  of  the  greenhouse  but 
a  very  short  time,  compared  with  what  is 
ordinarily  required  to  bring  the  fresh  or 
green  stock  of  lilies  into  bloom.  The 
saving  is  anywhere  from  two  to  three 
months.  Then,  at  the  same  time,  the 
amount  of  labor  required  is  of  much 
shorter  duration,  as  is  also  heat,  etc. 

A  large  grower  of  lilies  has  said  that 
he  would  not  grow  any  more  fresh  stock, 
because  he  figured  out  that  unless  every 
square  foot  of  his  greenhouse  brought 
him  in  $1  per  year  it  ceased  to  be 
profitable,  and  he  says  he  can  make  this 
very  easily  in  lilies  when  growing  cold 
storage  stock. 

Narcissi  and  Tulips. 

I  want  now  to  take  up  your  time  just 
a  few  minutes  further,  by  calling  your 
attention  to  one  or  two  other  good  bulbs 
which  are  very  largely  forced.  Take,  for 
instance,  the  Narcissus  Paper  "White  and 
the  Boman  hyacinth.  There  is  not  much 
comment  necessary,  because  almost  every 
florist  seems  to  have  reasonably  good 
success  and  we  have  invariably  traced 
failures  in  Paper  Whites  to  be  princi- 
pally due  to  lack  of  root  development. 

Upon  questioning  some  florists  who 
have  reported  failures  and  upon  refer- 
ring to  their  orders,  we  find  that  they 
have  not  allowed  suflBcient  time  for  the 
bulbs  to  really  produce  a  bud;  for  the 
fact  is  that  the  strength  which  should 
have  gone  into  the  roots  was  divided  and 
part  went  into  the  flower  and  part  into 
the  roots,  and  the  result  was  that  there 
was  neither  root  nor  flower.  It  is  almost 
impossible  to  force  these  bulbs  in  six 
weeks,  as  some  florists  suppose. 

This  applies  equally  well  to  Eoman 
hyacinths.  And  I  can  only  repeat,  with 
emphasis,  that  it  is  absolutely  necessary 
to  root  aJl  bulbous  stock  in  a  most  thor- 
ough manner. 

I  will  now  take  up  the  items  of  tulips, 
hyacinths,  and  daffodils.  Every  little 
while  one  hears  the  report  that  such  a 
variety  of  tulip,  hyacinth,  etc.,  did  not 
do  well.  Frequently  we  find  that  the 
florist  has  not  chosen  his  varieties  well; 
probably  has  not  selected  the  right  ones. 
Take,  for  instance,  the  Pottebakker  tulip. 
While  these  may  be  forced  successfully 
at  times,  still  there  are  years  when  there 
will  be  no  bloom  at  all  when  they  are 
grown  indoors.  The  Hollanders  claim 
that  this  is  not  a  forcing  tulip,  and 
therefore  should  not  be  used  for  that 
purpose. 

There   are    a    number    of    other   sorts 


which  can  not  be  counted  upon  to  bring 
the  best  success,  such  as  (Jhrysolora, 
Duchesse  de  Parma,  and  similar  varieties. 
In  their  catalogs  most  seedsmen  have 
the  forcing  tulips  marked  with  an  aster- 
isk, or  by  some  other  method,  and  as 
the  seedsman  takes  his  experience  largely 
from  the  Hollander,  it  is  well  sometimes, 
if  not  always,  for  the  florist  to  be  guided 
largely  by  this  in  using  these  sorts. 

Now  take  the  item  of  hyacinths.  It 
seems  that  the  florist  will  persist  in  buy- 
ing Baroness  Von  Thuyl,  which  is  a 
handsome  white  sort.  This  variety,  how- 
ever, is  not  at  all  adapted  to  forcing, 
unless  in  a  very  slow  way,  and  it  cer- 
tainly should  not  be  used  to  bring  into 
flower  for  Easter.  It  has  a  tendency  to 
"cut  its  throat,"  as  the  seedsmen  claim. 
In  other  words,  after  the  bud  and  stem 
have  developed  nicely,  down  below  the 
foliage,  it  seems  to  come  to  a  stand-still, 
while  the  stem  a  little  further  down  sim- 
ply rots  off.  The  cause  of  this,  I  do  not 
believe  has  ever  been  determined. 

Now  we  will  take  the  item  of  narcissi. 
Some  florists  plant  alba  plena,  odorata, 
poeticus,  and  similar  kinds,  which  are 
wholly  undesirable  for  forcing.  There- 
fore, you  can  always  be  assured  when 
there  are  failures  in  bulbs,  it  is  some- 
times the  fault  of  not  choosing  the  right 
kinds,  as  well  as  for  other  reasons. 

Other  Bulbs  for  Forcing. 

There  are  a  few  bulbs  which  I  want 
to  call  attention  to,  which  are  not  used 
as  much  as  they  should  be  used  by  the 
florists,  that  is,  for  forcing.  Take,  for 
instance,  the  dielytra,  or  bleeding  heart. 
You  have  no  idea  what  demand  there 
would  be  for  this  by  the  Koman  churches 
for  Easter  decorations.  It  costs  very 
little,  requires  very  little  attention  to  get 
it  into  flower  and  pays  as  well  as  any 
Easter  plant  one  could  force. 

Again,  there  is  the  Spanish  iris.  It 
reminds  one  very  much  of  dainty  little 
orchids.  Irises  may  be  planted  among 
carnations  and  will  do  very  well.  They 
bring  a  handsome  price  when  cut,  while 
the  cost  of  the  bulbs  is  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  $3  or  $4  per  thousand,  and  they 
require  no  attention  from  the  time  they 
are  planted  until  they  are  cut. 

The  hardy  Japanese  lilies,  such  as 
auratum,  album,  rubrum,  etc.,  while  they 
can  not  be  brought  in  very  well  for 
Easter,  make  excellent  lilies  for  selling 
in  pots  or  for  cut  flower  purposes  during 
the  summer.  They  can  be  potted  up 
when  they  arrive  from  Japan,  say  in 
October,  and  can  be  brought  into  flower 
without  a  bit  of  trouble  by  April  or 
later,  as  required. 

I    do    not    know    that    these    are    ex- 


tensively forced  now  by  florists,  but  I 
think  Eobert  Craig,  of  West  Philadel- 
phia, has  had  some  little  experience  with 
them  and  I  believe  he  still  forces  them 
with  excellent  results.  They  cost  con- 
siderably less  than  Harrisii  and  other 
Easter  lilies,  while  they  probably  bring 
greater  results.  Do  not,  however,  con- 
fuse them  with  Easter  lilies,  as  they 
must  not  be  planted  with  the  idea  of 
supplying  the  demand  for  the  latter. 

In  the  short  talk  on  the  above  I  have 
endeavored  to  bring  out  the  most  im- 
portant points  on  the  subject,  as  I  did 
not  have  much  time,  even  to  prepare  the 
data,  owing  to  the  great  rush  which  ex- 
ists in  the  seedsman's  business  at  this 
time  of  the  year. 

If  there  are  any  questions  which  any- 
one would  like  to  ask  I  will  answer 
them  so  far  as  is  in  my  power;  but,  as 
stated  before,  the  seedsman's  knowledge 
of  bulbs  is  largely  theory,  as  he  does 
not  have  the  opportunity  of  always  being 
on  the  ground  to  watch  everything  in  a 
practical  manner,  as  the  florist  does. 


PITTSBURG  FLOWER  LOVERS. 

Pittsburg  has  a  wide  reputation  in 
the  trade  as  a  city  of  flower  lovers. 
From  a  florist's  business  point  of  view 
the  city  of  steel  and  smoke  is  one  of 
the  best  flower  towns  in  the  country. 
Business  there  always  is  good  and  the 
florists  prosperous.  Greenhouse  building 
has  gone  on  at  a  rapid  rate  for  the  last 
few  years,  but  production  never  has 
overtaken  demand,  so  that  Pittsburg 
calls  on  Philadelphia,  Chicago  and  other 
markets  for  large  quantities  of  stock. 

The  extent  to  which  Pittsburgers  are 
flower  lovers  perhaps  will  be  impressed 
more  clearly  upon  the  average  mind  by 
the  accompanying  illustration  than  it 
would  be  by  any  array  of  business  sta- 
tistics. The  photograph  was  taken  on 
the  afternoon  of  Easter  and  shows  the 
line  of  people  waiting  admission  to  the 
annual  spring  display  at  Phipps  con- 
servatory, at  Schenley  park.  It  is  esti- 
mated that  there  were  2,500  persons  in 
the  line  at  the  time  this  photograph  was 
taken  by  a  staff  photographer  of  the 
Pittsburg  Gazette-Times.  The  conserva- 
tories were  filled  to  their  capacity  at  the 
moment,  and  as  fast  as  visitors  had 
passed  through  the  houses  others  were 
admitted  to  take  their  places.  It  is  said 
the  waiting  line  was  of  this  size  for 
hours  during  the  afternoon. 

The  display  at  Phipps  conservatory  is 
one  of  the  most  magnificent  made  by 
any  public  institution  in  this  country. 
Indeed,  its  fame  has  become  so  great 
that  the  railroads  run  special  trains  to

carry  the  visitors  who  come  into  the  city 
for  the  day.  There  is  probably  no  other 
city  in  the  United  States  where  anything 
like  so  great  public  interest  has  been 
awakened  in  any  exhibition  of  blooming 
plants,  and  to  the  benevolence  of  Henry 
Phipps  the  trade  in  Pittsburg,  and  in 
the  cities  whence  Pittsburg  draws  its 
supplies,  owes  a  grateful  memory,  for 
it  could  not  be  otherwise  than  that  such 
a  display,  attracting  such  great  num- 
bers of  people,  would  have  a  far-reach- 
ing, stimulating  effect  upon  the  florists' 
business. 


ROBERT  PYLE. 


Robert   Pyle,    whose    portrait   appears 
in  this  issue,  is  president  of  the  Conard 


&  Jones  Co.,  growers  of  roses,  canna 
lilies  and  hardy  shrubs  at  West  Grove, 
Pa.  Mr.  Pyle  started  his  business  ca- 
reer about  1894,  as  assistant  superintend- 
ent at  Swarthmore  College,  performing 
the  duties  of  the  superintendent  for 
eighteen  months  while  his  superior  was 
ill  and  during  his  convalescence.  When 
the  Conard  &  Jones  Co.  was  formed  in 
1897,  Mr.  Pyle  was  offered  the  position 
of  secretary,  which  he  held  until  chosen 
president  on  the  death  of  the  late  Alfred 
F.  Conard.  Mr.  Pyle's  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  every  department  of  the  com- 
pany's rapidly  increasing  business,  com- 
bined with  his  broad  views  and  enthu- 
siasm in  his  work,  qualify  him  to  an 
unusual  degree  for  his  new  position.

Cattleyas. 

The  present  is  a  suitable  time  to 
overhaul  those  two  popular  fall  and  win- 
ter blooming  varieties,  Cattleya  labiata 
and  C.  Trianae,  probably  the  two  most 
useful  florists'  cattleyas.  Even  in  the 
smaller  cities  there  is  a  growing  call  for 
orchid  flowers  and  growers  who  a  few 
years  ago  turned  up  their  noses  at  the 
idea  of  growing  orchids  now  find  it  nec- 
essary and  profitable  to  hang  a  few 
around.  The  all  too  prevalent  idea  that 
orchids  are  hard  subjects  to  grow  and 
need  a  specialist  to  care  for  them  is  an 
exploded  fallacy,  for  many  of  the  finest 
specimens  grown  and  exhibited  are  from 
the  hands  of  men  who  spent  no.  course  in 
their  culture.  Any  man  who  can  grow 
roses,  violets  or  carnations  need  have  no 
fears  about  trying  his  hand  at  orchids. 
A  large  collection  may  need  some  fuss- 
ing over,  but  a  few  of  the  standard  sorts 
will  be  found  very  accommodating  in 
their  wants  and  will  not  resent  a  little 
neglect  nearly  so  speedily  as  other  plants. 

A  good  compost  for  cattleyas  is  one 
of  osmunda  fern  fiber  mixed  with  a 
little  sphagnum  moss.  Some  growers  use 
leaves,  but  these  are  not  so  good  as  the 
fern  fiber.  Throw  away  the  rougher 
particles  and  use  squares  of  the  more 
fibrous  material,  from  which  the  fine, 
dusty  material  has  been  shaken.  Pots, 
pans  or  baskets  make  equally  good  re- 
ceptacles. In  removing  the  old  plants 
from  their  former  baskets,  cut  away  all 
dead  or  decaying  roots  and  any  rotten 
bulbs;  do  not  use  too  large  pots  or  bas- 
kets for  them.  Drain  liberally,  filling 
the  pots  or  pans  half  full  of  crocks. 
Elevate  the  plants  a  little  above  the  sur- 
face of  the  pots  or  baskets  and  be  sure 
they  are  made  firm.  Hang  in  a  house 
where  a  night  temperature  of  60  degrees 
is  maintained.  Water  sparingly  until 
new  roots  or  growths  are  well  advanced, 
but  spray  overliead  on  all  bright  days. 
A  little  shade  on  the  glass  will  be 
needed,  but  a  heaxy  coating  is  not  de- 
sirable at  any  time.  Plants  so  treated 
keep  green  but  flower  poorly. 

The  various  orchid  importing  firms 
will  soon  receive  their  consignments  of 
South  American  cattleyas.  These  newly 
imported  plants  are  in  many  ways  pref- 


erable to  established  stock  and  beginners 
should  try  them.  On  receipt,  trim  out 
any  bad  bulbs,  lay  on  a  bench  and  spray 
lightly  until  roots  and  growths  appear; 
then    pot    them    up,    using    rather    more 


now  arriving  from  the  East  Indies.  Don- 
drobes  need  a  warm,  moist  house  while 
growing,  then  cooler  and  drier  quarters 
to  ripen  their  growths.  An  abundant 
water  supply  is  needed  in  summer  and 
syringing  overhead  on  all  bright  days. 
Small  pans  or  baskets  grow  them  best 
and  heavy  shading  is  not  needed  even  in 
summer.  D.  nobile  and  D.  Wardianuni 
can  be  successfully  grown  in  an  ordi- 
nary greenhouse.  D.  formosum  gigan- 
t6um  produces  large  white  flowers  al- 
most equal  to  cattleyas.  D.  Phalsenop- 
sis  needs  a  brisk  moist  heat  to  grow  well. 
The  two  first  named  dendrobes  make  verj' 
salable  plants  in  flower  and,  being  in- 
expensive, are  within  the  reach  of  any- 
one. The  other  two  varieties  are  suit- 
able for  cutting  and  are  effective  in  any 
floral  work.  A  compost  of  equal  parts 
sphagnum  moss  and  rough  peat  suits 
them. 

Cyclamea. 

Fall  sown  plants  should  now  be  grow- 
ing on  a  light  bench  in  an  airy  house, 
where  a  night  temperature  of  55  degrees 
is  maintained.  These,  if  not  already 
potted,  should  be  shifted  into  3-inch  and 
4-inch  pots,  according  to  their  size  and 
strength.  Use  for  compost  a  slightly 
stronger  mixture  than  for  the  first  pot- 
ting: one-half  fibrous  loam,  well  broken 
up  but  not  screened;  one-fourth  leaf- 
mold,  and  the  balance  well  dried  and 
decomposed  cow  manure.  Add  a  good 
dash  of  sand,  powdered  charcoal  and 
soot  and  be  sure  in  potting  not  to  bury

drainage   and   less  compost   than  in   the 
case  of  established  plants. 

Dendrobiums. 

Dcndrobiums  met  with  an  excellent 
sale  in  some  of  the  large  cities  last  win- 
ter and  spring.  The  four  best  florists' 
varieties  are  nobile,  Wardianum,  Phalae- 
nopsis  and  formosum  giganteum.  Im- 
portations of    the   two   first   named   are 


the  corms.  Keep  them  just  above  the 
soil.  Use  care  in  watering  after  pot- 
ting. Spray  overhead  once  on  all  bright 
days,  allowing  them  to  dry  before  night- 
fall. A  light  shade  will  now  be  bene- 
ficial, as  the  sun  is  steadily  gaining  in 
power. 

Be  sure  to  give  these  plants  attention 
now  if  you  want  well  flowered  speci- 
mens for  Christmas  trade.    A  greenhouse

is  the  best  place  for  them  until  the  end 
of  June.  After  that  date  a  frame  is 
much  to  be  preferred.  In  such  frames 
it  is  only  necessary  to  use  sash  during 
rains.  Lath  shading  while  the  sun  is 
out,  and  full  exposure  to  the  night  dews, 
produces  the  finest  and  stockiest  plants. 

Cannas. 

If  started  when  recommended,  cannas 
should  have  made  suflScient  growth  to 
be  placed  in  pots.  If  from  any  pressure 
of  other  work  the  roots  are  still  under 
the  benches,  start  them  without  delay 
and  you  will  get  excellent  plants  within 
five  or  six  weeks.  Cannas  make  rapid 
growth  and  when  the  pots  are  fairly 
well  filled  with  roots  they  should  be  re- 
moved to  a  cooler  and  more  airy  house. 
Oive  them  sufficient  space  to  grow  in  and 
don't  forget  that  green  aphis  has  a 
partiality  for  them.  A  weekly  fumiga- 
tion will  keep  them  clean, 

Caladium  esculentum  may  still  be 
started  from  dormant  bulbs  and,  as  it 
makes  rapid  growth,  it  should  not  be 
kept  too  long  in  a  warm  house. 

Nephrolepis. 

The  various  forms  of  nephrolepis,  such 
as  Bostoniensis,  Scottii,  Barrowsii,  Ele- 
gantissima,  Whitmani,  with  others  still 
to  come,  such  as  the  English  todeaoides, 
always  prove  the  best  of  sellers  among 
commercial  ferns.  It  is  now  time  to 
consider  the  increasing  of  stock  for  an- 
other year.  If  you  have  a  bench  vacated 
by  Easter  stock  in  which  you  can  place 
four  inches  of  loam  in  which  some  sand 
and  leaf-mold  is  mixed,  it  will  prove  an 
ideal  place  to  put  in  a  quantity  of  young 
runner  plants,  which  you  will  no  doubt 
be  able  to  find  hanging  from  old  stock. 
Put  some  shade  on  the  glass,  but  do  not 
make  it  heavy  yet.  In  front  of  the 
bench  hang  up  a  canvas  to  keep  sun  and 
air  away  from  the  little  plants.     Spray 


them  over  once  a  day  in  dull  weather 
and  more  frequently  when  it  is  bright. 
They  will  soon  start  to  grow  and  make 
excellent  plants  for  next  winter. 

Q)Idframes. 

Night  frosts  continue,  but  there  are 
many  plants  which  can  now  be  trans- 
ferred to  frames  where  the  sashes  are 
tight  and  mats  can  be  used  on  cool 
nights.  The  earlier  bedding  geraniums 
will  now  do  well  in  these.  Carnations 
will  be  much  better  in  them,  as  will  vio- 
let stock  in  flats.  Such  annuals  as  ver- 
benas, asters,  stocks,  dianthus,  Drum- 
mond's  phlox  and  nemesias  will  also  do 
well  in  these  frames.  Salvia  splendens, 
nicotianas  and  others  of  a  more  tender 
nature  will  still  be  better  where  they  can 
have  a  little  fire  heat  at  night. 

For  vegetable  plants,  such  as  cabbage, 
cauliflower,  lettuce  and  tomato,  the 
frames  are  preferable  to  the  greenhouses. 
A  few  inches  of  warm  manure  tramped 
firmly  and  coated  with  fine  cinders  will 
provide  nice,  comfortable  quarters  for 
any  of  the  plants  named. 

Short  Reminders. 

Bedding  geraniums  are  growing  fast 
and  will  need  additional  space  from  time 
to  time.  If  any  are  getting  potbound 
give  them  a  shift.  If  you  cannot  do 
that,  feed  a  little  to  keep  them  a  good 
color. 

Lily  of  the  valley  will  now  start  well 
in  close  frames  and  the  spikes  and  foli- 
age will  be  heavier  in  texture  than  when 
grown  in  dark,  hot  cases.  Keep  close 
until  the  shoots  are  well  drawn  up;  then 
give  more  light  and  air. 

Hydrangeas  kept  over  winter  are  be- 
coming excited  by  the  warm  days.  Don't 
rush  these  outdoors  unless  you  have 
means  for  covering  them.  They  won't 
stand  much  frost  at  their  present  deli- 
cate   stage.      Keep    them,    however,    as 


light  and  cool  as  possible  to  prevent 
spindly  shoots,  which  are  so  easily 
broken. 

Tuberoses  can  be  started  in  flats  con- 
taining a  little  moss  and  sand.  Place 
quite  close  together  and  later  pot  oflE  into 
4-inch  or  5-inch  pots.  It  is  rather  early 
yet  to  plant  any  of  these  outdoors. 

See  that  petunias,  lobelias,  begonias 
and  other  seedlings  are  potted  off  before 
they  crowd  and  spoil  each  other.  Keep 
pricking  off  other  annuals  into  flats  as 
time  permits. 

For  a  late  batch  you  can  still  sow 
Salvia  splendens,  zinnias  and  other  rapid 
growing  tender  annuals. 

Dahlias  must  not  be  kept  in  a  too 
warm  house  after  potting  or  they  soon 
become  drawn  and  weak.  Cuttings 
rubbed  off  with  a  heel  will  root  freely 
in  sand  and  make  splendid  plants  by  the 
end  of  May. 

The  sashes  before  this  should  be  re- 
moved from  daisies,  pansies,  violas,  au- 
briotias,  forget-me-nots  and  other  spring 
flowering  bedding  plants.  All  of  these 
are  better  planted  out  as  soon  as  pos- 
sible. Give  them  an  abundant  supply 
of  water. 

Lawns  should  now  be  raked,  moss 
scratched  out  and  new  seed  scattered  on 
bare  spots,  then  a  thorough  rolling  given. 
A  dressing  of  sheep  manure  or  some 
chemical  fertilizer,  if  not  already  ap- 
pliod,  can  still  be  given. 

l^runing  of  hardy  roses  should  now 
be  completed  without  delay.  Planting 
should  also  be  finished  this  month. 

Get  a  good  batch  of  chrysanthemum 
cuttings  in  now  for  large  blooms.  It  is 
time  they  were  in,  but  nice  flowers  can 
be  had  from  cuttings  inserted  up  to 
June  1. 

Have  you  a  good  stock  of  violet  run- 
ners in  flats?  If  not,  lose  no  time  in 
getting  them  in.  They  are  better  planted 
out  early  in  May,  with  the  carnations.

HELLENTHAL'S  DISPLAY. 

John  R.  Hellenthal  is  one  of  the  en- 
terprising people  in  the  trade  at  Colum- 
bus, Ohio.  He  believes  in  advertising 
and  always  keeps  his  place  in  up-to-date 
shape,  so  that  it  will  be  attractive  to 
visitors.  One  of  the  annual  features 
with  him  is  an  opening  advertised  for 
Palm  Sunday.  The  photograph  repro- 
duced on  page  1599  was  made  that  day. 
A  large  number  of  visitors  were  attracted 
and  the  stock  was  found  in  first-class 
condition.  The  lilies  were  excellent.  There 
was  a  batch  of  splendid  hydrangeas  and 
the  roses  in  pots  were  good.  Miscellane- 
ous blooming  stock  was  shown  in  con- 
siderable variety  and  the  cut  flower 
houses  were  in  equally  good  shape.    For 


instance,  from  4,900  carnation  plants 
9,300  blooms  were  cut  Easter  week.  Of 
these  3,000  were  Enchantress.  The  Law- 
sons  gave  about  400  bursted  blooms  and 
these  were  advertised  for  a  special  sale 
on  Friday  and  Saturday  before  Easter, 
at  25  cents  a  dozen.  Perfect  flowers  in 
pink  and  white  sold  for  75  cents  a 
dozen  and  the  Enchantress  at  $1  a 
dozen.  All  were  cleaned  up  Saturday 
night.  All  the  plants  were  sold,  the 
hydrangeas  being  in  special  demand. 
Plants  with  ten  to  fourteen  heads  of 
bloom  were  sold  at  $5  and  $6  each. 

The  Easter  trade  in  Columbus  was 
excellent  with  every  one.  Charles  M. 
Jones,  who  is  the  grower  for  Mr.  Hellen- 
thal, says  he  thinks  every  one  is  pleased 
with  the  business. 


COUSINS'  CARNATIONS. 

The  photograph  reproduced  on  this 
page  shows  the  new  house  of  carnations 
recently  added  to  the  plant  of  Leonard 
Cousins,  Jr.,  at  Concord  Junction,  Mass., 
There  are  grown  here  some  10,000  plants 
of  the  most  desirable  market  kinds.  Mrs. 
Thos.  W.  Lawson  thrives  well,  as  do  its 
sports,  Variegated  Lawson  and  White 
Lawson,  all  three  being  done  to  perfec- 
tion. Some  of  the  finest  Lawson  blooms 
shipped  to  the  Boston  market  during  the 
season  were  sent  from  here.  Fair  Maid, 
Queen,  J.  H.  Manley  and  Harlowarden 
are  also  grown  in  quantity. 

Pansies  are  another  specialty  with  Mr. 
Cousins.  They  wintered  nicely.  He  has 
a  special  strain  that  is  the  result  of 
years  of  careful  selection  of  plants  and 
growing  his  own  seeds  from  them. 


CARNATION  NOTES.— VEST. 


JIONS 


when  a  earneition  bloom  is  fully  devel- 
oped the  fragrance  is  stronger  than  when 
it  is  just  opened.  Also,  that  in  a  tem- 
perature of  60  degrees  or  over  the  fra- 
grance is  thrown  off  more  freely  than 
in  a  lower  temperature.  So  it  can  be 
readily  seen  that  it  would  be  difficult  to 
obtain  the  same  results  in  scoring,  even 
with  the  same  variety  at  different  times, 
unless  these  conditions  were  exactly  the 
same.  To  try  to  allow  for  such  changes 
in  temperature,  etc.,  would  only  cause 
more  confusion  and  trouble;  in  fact,  it 
could  not  be  done.  And  there  are  other 
conditions,  too,  that  affect  fragrance 
considerably. 

There  are  few  carnations  that  are  de- 
void of  fragrance;  perhaps  none  that 
are  entirely  without  it  under  favorable 
conditions,  though  one  often  hears  it 
remarked  at  the  exhibitions  that  so  few 
of  them  are  fragrant.  The  fragrance  is 
there,  all  right,  only  it  is  not  thrown 
off  freely  because  the  conditions  are 
unfavorable.  That  some  varieties  are 
more  fragrant  than  others  is  quite  true, 


Fragrance. 

At  the  first  glance  one  would  be  in- 
clined to  coincide  with  those  who  think 
that  fragrance  in  the  carnation  should 
hav,»  more  attention  than  has  been  given 
it.  It  is  argued  that  the  fragrance  is 
one  of  the  chief  charms  of  the  carna- 
tion and  that  it  ought  to  come  next  to 
color  in  the  scale  of  judging.  That  the 
first  assertion  is  quite  true  can  not  be 
denied,  but  as  to  the  advisability  of 
placing  the  importance  on  that  section 
that  is  asked  by  some  in  scoring  a  new- 
variety,  I  have  serious  doubt.  I  do  not 
know  what  the  scale  committee's  rea- 
sons were  for  according  to  fragrance 
only  five  points,  but  I  think  that  is 
about  as  many  points  as  should  be  al- 
lowed it.  The  fact  is,  the  fragrance  in 
a  carnation  bloom  varies  too  much  with 
other  conditions  to  allow  it  to  cut  too 
much  of  a  figure  in  the  scoring.  If  it 
were  stable,  like  color,  calyx,  form,  stem, 
etc.,  it  would  be  quite  another  question. 
Every     carnation     grower     knows     that 


but   the   difference  is   not  so   great   as 
many  imagine,  nor  so  important. 

Exhibition  and  Commercial  Qasses. 

It  is  often  asked  if  it  is  not  time 
we  were  dividing  our  varieties  into  ex- 
hibition and  commercial  classes.  I  would 
say  emphatically,  No!  That  there  are 
many  medium  size  and  extremely  free 
flowering  varieties,  and  also  that  there 
are  other  large,  fancy  flowered  and  less 
floriferous  varieties,  is  well  known;  also 
that  the  former  are  more  profitable  than 
the  others  for  the  average  grower  to 
grow  for  the  average  trade.  It  is  this 
latter  fact  that  is  causing  the  discussion 
and  demand  for  a  division  into  two 
classes.  I  have  repeatedly  pointed  out 
these  facts  in  my  notes  and  advised 
against  picking  out  the  largest  blooms 
and  stocking  up  with  those  varieties  to 
the  exclusion  of  all  others  for  commer- 
cial growing.  But  as  to  making  sepa- 
rate classes  for  them  at  the  exhibitions, 
I  don't  think  it  at  all  feasible.  Every 
raiser  of  new  varieties  recognizes  the 
fact  that  the  commercial  grower  is  the 
man  who  buys  the  new  varieties  in  quan- 
tity and  that  he  wants  varieties  that  will 
produce  quantity  as  well  as  quality.  So 
you  would  find  no  new  varieties  entered 
in  the  large  flowered,  shy  blooming 
class.  Every  variety,  be  it  ever  so  large 
and  fine,  would  be  entered  in  the  com- 
mercial classes,  just  as  every  variety 
that  is  put  on  the  market  now  is  "the 
greatest  bloomer  ever." 

The  same  arguments  that  obtain  in  the 
division  of  the  chrysanthemum  into  com- 
mercial and  exhibition  classes  could  not 
be  considered  in  this  case  at  all.  They 
are  not  parallel.  The  mum  produces  one 
or  more  blooms  to  the  plant,  which  open 
practically  at  the  same  time;  in  fact, 
you  restrict  the  plant  to  as  few  blooms 
as  you  think  advisable  in  accordance 
with  the  quality  desired.  Not  so  with 
the  carnation.  You  want  good  blooms 
and  then  you  want  as  many  as  it  is  pos- 
sible to  get,  and  to  cover  most  of  the 
year.  You  might  demand  of  the  origi- 
nator a  record  of  blooms  cut,  etc. 

Then  another  objection  is  that  the 
aim  of  the  carnation  breeders  is  to  ob- 
literate this  division  altogether,  and  as 
soon  as  possible.  While  there  will  be 
increase  in  size  of  bloom,  the  aim  is  to 
get  varieties  that  produce  blooms  as 
large   as  our  fancies  of   today,   and   as

many  to  the  plant  as  the  smaller  flow- 
ered varieties.  This  is  the  proper  aim, 
and  should  not  be  discouraged  by  a  di- 
vision into  two  classes  at  this  time,  when 
it  is  less  necessary  than  ever  before.  We 
are  getting  larger,  free  flowering  vari- 
eties every  year  and  the  time  is  not  far 
distant  when  we  will  have  as  free  bloom- 
ers in  all  colors  as  our  freest  small  flow- 
ered ones,  and  in  quality  as  good  as  En- 
chantress. 

If  it  is  desired  that  the  medium  size 
varieties  should  get  more  chance  at  the 
shows,  then  the  best  thing  to  do  would 
be  to  offer  premiums  for  certain  varie- 
ties, instead  of  for  certain  colors,  as  is 
mostly  done  nowadays.  Probably  that 
would  be  a  good  plan,  as  it  would  give 
the  smaller  growers  an  opportunity  to 
compete  with  some  chance  of  winning 
out.  That  would  of  course  be  a  ques- 
tion for  the  local  premium  committees 
to  consider.  A.  F.  J.  Baur.

FISCHER  GOES  TO  CALIFORNIA. 

For  years  the  freesia  has  been  occupy- 
ing an  increasing  share  of  the  attention 
of  Rudolph  Fischer,  at  Great  Neck,  Long 
Island,  where  he  originated  Purity,  the 
pure  white  freesia,  an  almost  full  size 
photograph  of  which  is  reproduced  in 
this  issue.  A  while  ago  Mr.  Fischer 
bought  land  in  California,  for  the  grow- 
ing of  freesias  in  the  open,  and  sent  his 
family  there  for  the  winter  just  ended. 
He  has  disposed  of  the  greenhouses  in 
which  Purity  was  originated  and  devel- 
oped and  will,  before  May  1,  take  up 
his  permanent  residence  in  California,  at 
Santa  Anita,  in  Los  Angeles  county.  He 
intends  to  go  largely  into  freesia  grow- 
ing, but  will  confine  himself  to  the  one 
variety,  with  a  few  choice  seedlings  of 
which  he  has  a  number  of  bulbs  and  of 
which  he  will  work  up  stock.  As  stock 
of  Purity  was  planted  last  season  he 
will  at  once  be  able  to  do  business  and 
next  year  will  be  in  shape  to  greatly 
increase  the  production. 


NUMBER  OF  PLANTS  FOR  BED. 

I  should  like  to  ask  what  is  the  sim- 
plest way  to  measure  a  round  bed  to 
find  out  how  many  plants  it  will  hold.  I 
have  four  round  beds,  twenty-two  feet 
across,  which  I  want  to  plant  with  gera- 
niums, and  I  should  like  to  know  how 
many  plants  each  bed  will  require,  plant- 
ing them  about  fourteen  inches  apart 
each  way.  I  have  also  two  canna  beds, 
each  thirty-one  feet  across.  How  many 
cannas  will  each  bed  require,  planted 
twenty  inches  apart  each  way?      J.  T. 

Take  a  sheet  of  paper;  describe  a- 
series  of  circles.  In  calculating,  figure 
these  circles  as  being  at  distances  of 
fourteen  inches  apart.  Twice  the  dis- 
tance from  the  center  will  give  the  diam- 
eter of  each  circle.  Multiply  this  by 
three;  this  will  give,  approximately,  the 
circumference  of  each  circle  in  feet. 
Multiply  again  by  twelve,  to  secure  the 


Freesia  Purity,  Nearly  Full  Size  of  Flower. 


circumference  in  inches;  then  divide  by 
fourteen,  to  ascertain  the  number  of 
plants  needed.  Thus,  for  the  geranium 
beds  the  numbers  will  be  1,  6,  12,  18,  24, 
30,  36,  42,  48,  54,  or  a  total  of  271 
plants  per  bed.  TTie  outer  ring  would 
be  only  six  inches  from  the  edge,  which 
would  make  it  a  little  too  close.  In  the 
case  of  the  canna  beds,  by  following  the 
same  plan  it  will  be  found  that  these 
beds  will  also  need  the  same  number  of 
rows,  containing  the  same  number  of 
plants,  namely,  271.  In  the  latter  case 
the  outer  row  will  also  be  within  six 
inches  of  the  edge.  By  doing  away  with 
one  ring  in  each  bed  and  spacing  the 
others  a  trifle  farther  apart — an  inch  in 
case  of  geraniums,  and  an  inch  and  a 
half  in  case  of  cannas — a  considerable 
saving  in  plants  could  be  effected.      C.

*'WISE  WORDS." 


A  Talk  on  Fertilizers. 

A  neatly  printed  booklet  entitled 
"Wise  Words,"  just  issued  by  E.  H. 
Hunt,  and  copyrighted,  bears  the  allur- 
ing sub-title,  *  *  About  the  most  profitable 
thing  on  earth."  It  is  a  talk  on  fer- 
tilizers, which  belong  "on  earth,"  and 
it  will  be  profitable  to  many  a  grower, 
for  if  there  is  any  part  of  the  business 
about  which  exact  knowledge  is  lacking 
with  the  average  grower,  it  is  on  fer- 
tilizers. "No  man  who  expects  to  get 
a  good  living  out  of  the  ground  questions 
the  need  or  value  of  fertilization,"  but 
to  be  able  to  get  good  results  from  their 
use  exact  knowledge  is  necessary.  *  *  Dif- 
ferences of  soil,  climate,  location,  busi- 
ness conditions — all  of  these  decide  for 
you  what  is  the  beM  thing  to  do,  and 
the  best  time  to  do  it. ' ' 

"While  purity  is  the  one  virtue  you 
must  have,  it  is  not  all.  Nature  may  be 
helped  in  forming  fertilizers,  just  as  you 
help  her  by  using  them.  But  be  sure 
that  help  is  scientific  and  practical.  You 
may  buy  and  use  almost  any  fertilizer 
with  excellent  results  under  certain  con- 
ditions, but  unless  it  is  absolutely  uni- 
form you  never  know  whether  you  can 
produce  the  same  result  under  the  same 
conditions  next  time.  Purity,  as  we  say, 
is  not  everything  in  a  fertilizer;  but  a 
fertilizer  is  nothing  if  not  pure. 

"It  is  impossible  to  prepare  a  fer- 
tilizer that  will  be  safe  and  at  the  same 
time  valuable  for  all  soils.  It  is  much 
better  to  buy  the  different  products,  and 
mix   them    to   fit   your   requirements,   or

apply  separately  as  the  occasion  de- 
mands. Thus  undesirable  elements  need 
never  be  applied.  This  is  much  truer  of 
greenhouse  than  of  field  work,  because 
the  greenhouse  man  always  understands 
the  condition  and  nature  of  his  soils 
better  than  the  field  man. 

' '  Two  things  determine  the  value  of 
a  fertilizer:  i^'irst,  its  purity,  or  free- 
dom from  adulterants;  second,  the  per- 
centage it  contains  of  that  particular 
ingredient  or  element  upon  which  its 
fertilizing  activity   depends. 

'  *  The  rule  is :  phosphates  for  flowers 
(meaning  blooms);  nitrates  for  foliage; 
potash  for  structural  growth. 

* '  The  original  composition  of  the  soil 
and  what  is  grown  upon  it  determine 
which  element  is  first  exhausted.  In  the 
growing  of  flowers  the  first  element  de- 
pleted is  usually  phosphoric  acid.  This 
must  be  supplied,  as  it  is  practically 
the  stafi:  of  life.  Plants  cannot  come  to 
maturity  in  any  condition  without  suf- 
ficient phosphorus,  because  it  not  only 
feeds  and  nourishes  the  plant  through 
its  own  virtues,  but  aids  the  plant  in  as- 
imilating  or  making  use  of  other  mineral 
ingredients  in  the  soil. 

"Potash  influences  and  develops  the 
woody  parts  of  plant  life  and  is  a  neces- 
sary element  in  giving  sufficient  stalk 
and  stem  for  large  and  vigorous  growth. 

"Nitrogen,  which  is  usually  reported 
in  analyses  as  ammonia,  affects  the 
stems  and  leaves,  deepens  the  color  and 
helps  to  provide  a  strong  and  healthy 
support  for  the  plant  to  come  to  its 
best  maturity  upon.  But  too  much  ni- 
trogen in  a  soil  tends  to  create  too  rank 
a  growth  and  retard  blooming.  On  the 
other  hand,  nitrogen,  unless  contained  in 
some  other  combination,  is  easily  washed 
away  and  must  be  carefully  watched  for 
such  losses." 

Hunt  has  tried  to  avoid  technicalities 
in  order  to  bring  out  the  practical  uses 
of  fertilizers  Here  is  a  part  of  what 
he  says  about  bone  meal: 

Bone  MeaL 

"Phosphoric  acid  being  the  first  ele- 
ment flowers  exhaust  from  the  ground, 
bone  meal  owes  its  wonderful  nourish- 
ing and  sustaining  power  to  the  fact 
that  it  contains  twenty-three  to  twenty- 
six  per  cent  of  that  element. 

"Tue  rule  being:  Phosphates  for  flow- 
ers (meaning  blooms^f  course) ;  nitrates 
for  foliage.  Bone  meal  contains  both 
in  safe,  sure  proportions  for  ordinary 
regular  use. 

' '  Bone  is  one  of  the  greatest  things 
for  flower  soils,  because  of  this:  It  is 
not  only  an  immediate  result  producer, 
but  has  a  lasting  effect.  It  is  a  staple 
fertilizer,  because  it  is  a  food  and  an 
invigorator,  not  a  mere  stimulant. 

"Here  is  the  reason:  Twelve  per  cent 
of  bone  meal's  phosphoric  acid  is  imme- 
diately available  and  soluble  in  water, 
giving  immediate  renewal  of  life  to  the 
ground,  while  the  remaining  eleven  to 
fourteen  per  cent  of  phosphoric  acid 
becomes  slowly  available  over  a  period 
of  several  months — and  as  the  plant  de- 
mands it.  This  virtue  practically  makes 
it  automatic,  and  does  away  with  nearly 
all  possibility  of  excessive  use." 

Blood  and  Bone. 

' '  This  mixture  of  pure  blood  and  meat 
and  the  best  grade  of  bone  flour  is 
preferred  by  many  larger  growers  to 
stimulate  root  action  and  bring  out  the 
best  color  in  the  blooms.  Its  great  per- 
centage of   nitrate  in  the  form  of  am- 


monia makes  it  act  along  the  lines  of 
nitrogen  for  speed,  and  the  large  per- 
centage of  phosphoric  acid  immediately 
available  nourishes  the  growth  similarly 
to  bone  flour,  but  not  so  lastingly.  Blood 
and  bone  is  practically  the  only  really 
quick  acting  fertilizer  in  which  there  is 
combined  speed  with  ss^ety  from  'burn- 
ing. '  But  remember,  that  any  quick 
fertilizer  is  like  medicine:  'A  spoonful 
will  cure  where  a  bottleful  will  kill.'  " 

Pulverized  Sheep  Manure. 

' '  Of  all  animal  manures,  sheep  ma- 
nure takes  first  place  as  to  safety,  re- 
sults and  economy  in  cost  and  handling. 
Sheep  manure  contains  more  good  ele- 
ments than  any  animal  manure  does,  and, 
because  of  its  great  concentration,  is 
more  desirable. 

' '  Mix  one-twentieth  of  sheep  manure 
with  ordinary  soil  for  general  use;  but 
in  mixing  the  compost  in  the  summer, 
add  about  one-sixteenth  to  secure  best 
results. 

' '  Besides  its  fertilizing  qualities,  sheep 
manure  makes  the  soil  more  porous  and 
more  easily  pulverized  or  crumbled.  It 
is  very  good  for  top-dressings  of  any 
kind." 

Nitrate  of  Soda. 

"This  is  the  great  stimulant.  But, 
like  whisky  for  the  human  being,  it  has 
little  or  no  food  value  in  itself,  while 
promoting  the  food  value  of  other  fer- 
tilizing ingredients.  It  materially  stiff- 
ens the  stem  and  increases  the  color  of 
carnations  and  makes  the  plant  very  vig- 
orous. The  rule  here  is:  Nitrates  for 
foliage.  On  young  roses,  where  size  of 
plant  is  wanted  before  flowers,  it  is  a 
valuable  stimulant  to  both  plant  and 
leaf." 

These  are  only  brief  extracts  from  the 


wealth  of  money  making  information 
contained  in  these  "Wise  Words."  All 
through  the  booklet,  which  growers 
should  send  for  and  read,  definite  direc- 
tions are  given  as  to  the  amounts  of  each 
kind  of  fertilizer  which  are  to  be  used 
in  any  given  case.  The  book  is  worth 
preserving  after  reading. 


VIOLETS  AS  TRAVELERS. 

• 

If  you  had  asked  a  man,  not'  so  very 
long  ago,  about  the  .shipping/  qualities 
of  the  violet,  he  would  in—all  proba- 
bility have  said  it  hadn't  any;  that  it 
wouldn't  travel  any  distance  and  be 
salable.     But  he  didn't  know. 

Nowadays  the  violet  ranks  right  up 
with  the  top-notch  shippers.  True,  its 
fragrance  soon  is  lost;  gives  place  to 
odor;  but  what  of  that  if  the  flower 
still  will  sell  at  a  good  price?  For  sev- 
eral years  the  Rhinebeck  violet  growers 
have  been  shipping  violets  in  steadily 
increasing  quantities  to  the  commission 
men  in  Chicago — a  thousand  miles.  That 
is  farther  from  home  than  any  other 
flower  finds  a  regular  and  profitable 
market  in  quantity.  But  that  isn't  all. 
The  Chicago  commission  men  reship  the 
Rhinebeck  violets  to  retailers  in  other 
cities;  at  seasons  like  Easter  they  ship 
them  by  tens  of  thousands.  Winnipeg, 
Manitoba,  gets  its  violets  in  Chicago, 
not  every  day,  but  pretty  regularly,  so 
that  Rhinebeck  violets  must  still  be 
blue  2,000  miles  and  four  or  five  days 
from  the  greenhouses.  In  spite  of  the 
fact  that  this  Easter  most  of  the 
violets  heated  and  spoiled  on  the  way 
to  Chicago,  still  some  of  them  were 
reshipped  and  reached  Winnipeg  in 
salable  condition.  What  other  flower 
sold  in  quantity  ships  better  than  that? 


CHRYSANTHEMUM  NOTES- WEST. 

Propagating  and  Planting. 

The  chrysanthemum  grower  is  now  in 
the  midst  of  the  busy  propagating  sea- 
son. If  he  has  not  already  taken  steps 
to  provide  himself  with  the  stock  he 
will  need,  he  must  do  so  at  once.  Chrys- 
anthemums grow  very  fast  at  this  season 
and  cuttings  taken  now  will  root  very 
rapidly,  so  that  care  must  be  taken  that 
they  are  not  neglected  or  permitted  to 
remain  too  long  in  the  sand. 

Be  sure  to  get  all  your  early  varieties 
into  the  sand  at  once,  if  you  have  not 
already  provided  young  stock  of  these 
sorts.  The  dwarf  varieties  will  not  get 
too  high  and  should  be  planted  in  May 
to  grow  the  best  blooms. 

However,  the  chrysanthemum  is  an  ac- 
commodating plant  in  many  respects,  and 
early  as  well  as  late  varieties  may  be 
propagated  in  May,  if  the  grower  has 
given  thought  to  how  he  will  handle  the 
stock.  The  late  propagation  will  be  just 
the  kind  of  stock  for  the  low,  flat  houses 
which  a  great  many  growers  have  to 
use,  especially  those  growers  who  follow 
the  chrysanthenmm  with  lettuce.  They 
also  will  do  where  the  benches  are  un- 
usually high,  or  under  any  circumstances 


where  there  is  not  the  usual  amount  of 
headroom  required  for  chrysanthemums. 

For  instance,  take  Glory  of  Pacific  or 
Estelle.  These  will  produce  a  good  av- 
erage flower  by  planting  them  in  the 
latter  part  of  June.  On  such  benches  it 
is  always  best  to  have  the  stem  a  little 
shorter,  topped  by  a  good  bloom,  than 
to  have  the  stem  too  long  for  the  amount 
of  headroom.  In  the  latter  case,  the 
neck  would  be  crooked  or  the  flower  de- 
formed, frozen  or  burned  by  contact 
with  the  glass.        Joseph  P.  Brooks. 


HOODED  SWEET  PEAS. 

The  sweet  peas  with  bold  standards 
are  preferred  by  many  growers,  but 
some  of  the  best  sorts  for  outdoor  culti- 
vation for  cutting  are  of  the  hooded 
form.  One  of  these  is  an  old  favorite, 
says  a  writer  in  a  British  journal.  It  is 
Lady  Grizel  Hamilton,  an  exquisitely 
lovely  lavender-colored  variety  that  is 
beloved  of  the  ladies,  and  is  dainty  and 
cool  for  the  decoration  of  the  dinner- 
table  in  the  summer-time.  It  is  a  fine 
garden  variety,  branching  freely  and 
flowering  profusely  over  a  long  period 
under  ordinary  care,  and  it  continues  in 
bloom  almost  as  long  as  Countess 
Spencer.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


U03 


The  other  hooded  variety  I  wish  to 
draw  special  attention  to  is  the  new  one 
sent  out  this  season  by  H.  Eckford,  of 
Wem.  It  is  Queen  of  Spain,  a  delight- 
ful variety  exhibited  by  the  raiser  last 
year  at  the  early  summer  shows.  Queen 
of  Spain  has  been  variously  described; 
I  think  bright  shell-pink  fairly  well 
meets  the  case,  while  light  coral  pink 
also  conveys  the  shade  seen  in  this  beau- 
tiful sweet  pea.  The  color  is  one  Lib- 
erty might  rave  over;  the  color  one 
thinks  of  for  the  ribbon  "to  tie  up  her 


bonnie  brown  hair. ' '  Anyway,  Queen 
of  Spain  has  come  to  stay,  and  though, 
like  Lady  Grizel  Hamilton,  it  may  not 
often  assist  in  the  winning  of  silver 
cups  and  gold  medals,  it  is  certain  as 
anything  can  be  certain  in  this  world 
that  these  two  varieties  will  be  grown 
when  a  number  of  other  novelties  of  the 
present  year  have  passed  into  oblivion. 
I  have  seen  Queen  of  Spain  growing, 
and  can  testify  to  its  good  behavior  in 
freedom  and  robustness.  It  will  soon  be 
in  all  the  lists. 


CARE  OF  YOUNG  STOCK. 

Easter  being  past,  there  will  be  plenty 
of  room  on  the  benches  and  no  excuse 
for  crowding  the  young  stock.  The  dif- 
ference in  quality  of  stock  that  has  had 
ample  room  on  the  bench  from  that  which 
has  been  crowded  is  easily  seen.  The 
stock  that  has  been  crowded  shows  the 
effects  by  having  lost  a  percentage  of 
the  lower  leaves,  and  as  every  leaf  lost 
has  a  weakening  effect  on  the  young 
plant,  they  usually  have  a  weakly  ap- 
pearance. Overcrowding  also  allows 
spider  to  get  in  its  work,  as  it  is  so 
difficult  to  dislodge  with  the  syringe. 

The  advantages  derived  by  giving  room 
for  a  free  circulation  of  air  among  the 
plants  are  many.  The  foliage  dries  out 
more  rapidly  after  syringing  and  is  con- 
sequently harder  and  healthier  than  if 
allowed  to  stand  a  long  time  wet.  Mil- 
dew has  less  chance  to  attack  and  is 
much  easier  checked  than  would  be  the 
case  with  softer  and  spongy  growth. 

The  soil  in  the  pots,  by  being  ex- 
posed to  the  sunlight,  dries  out  quickly 
and  remains  sweet  longer  than  if  hidden 
under  a  mass  of  foliage. 

Repotting  should  be  done  just  as  soon 
as  the  plants  are  ready  for  it,  so  that 
they  may  be  able  to  continue  growing 
without  a  check,  as  any  check  at  this 
stage  is  liable  to  produce  hard,  stunted 
wood,  which  invariably  makes  an  un- 
profitable plant  to  bench.  Bibes. 


SOUTHERN  ROSES  UNDER  GLASS. 

[A  paper  by  K.  Lockerbie.  New  Orleans,  read 
before  the  Society  of  Southern  Florists,  at  the 
New  Orleans  Convention,  February  14  to  lO. 
1907,  continued  from  the  Issues  of  February  28 
and  March  7.  J 

Mildew. 

Mildew  is  about  the  most  serious  en- 
emy we  have  to  contend  with  in  the 
south,  and  it  seems  that  no  amount  of 
care  in  ventilating  will  prevent  its  mak- 
ing its  appearance.  The  end  of  Sep- 
tember generally  finds  it  ready  for  busi- 


ness. Prevention  is  better  than  cure, 
as  nothing  so  disfigures  rose  foliage  as 
big  blotches  of  mildew. 

Try  dusting  the  foliage  once  a  week 
with  sulphur,  before  it  gets  a  hold,  us- 
ing bellows  or  some  other  duster  for  the 
operation.  "When  it  attacks  the  buds 
and  under  side  of  the  leaves  the  situa- 
tion is  serious,  requiring  heroic  treat- 
ment, and  is  beyond  curing  by  mere  con- 
tact with   the  sulphur.     In   such  a  case 


I  wish  to  thank  you  for  your  f^ood 
taste  in  setting;  up  my  advertisement

Please  repeat  it  in  the  next  issue. 
The  past  week  I  have  been  fillinsf 
orders  from  Pennsylvaniat  Canada, 
Ohio,  Indiana,  Michigan,  Mississippi, 
Illinois,  Iowa,  Utah  and  California. 
E.  E.  STEWART. 

Rives  Junction,  Mich. 
April  8,  1907. 


I  would  advise  a  good  dusting  of  sulphur 
all  over  the  foliage,  closing  the  venti- 
lators and  letting  the  temperature  run 
up  to  90  degrees  or  over,  for  one  hour. 
This  will  cause  a  mild  evaporation  of 
the  sulphur  fumes  and  a  few  repetitions 
will  generally  check  the  attack.  The 
sulphur  may  also  be  evaporated  in  pans 
over  oil  stoves,  but  this  operation  re- 
quires constant  watching.  The  sulphur 
must  be  kept  stirred  and  on  no  account 
be  allowed  to  burn,  as  it  then  gives  off 
a  gas  that  is  deadly  to  plant  life. 

Of  course  when  firing  is  going  on  it  is 
much  easier  to  keep  mildew  in  check  by 


painting  some  of  the  steam  pipes  with 
the  sulphur  mixed  to  a  thick  paint  with 
milk.  There  is  just  enough  fat  in  the 
milk  to  make  the  sulphur  adhere  to  the 
pipes.  If  milk  is  lacking  it  can  be 
mixed  with  water  with  the  addition  of 
a  little  air-slaked  lime.  Two  pipes  so 
painted  in  a  house  twenty  feet  wide,  or 
over,  will  be  sufficient  in  most  cases,  as 
too  much  will  cause  the  plants  to  drop 
their  leaves. 

Thrips. 

Thrips  are  another  element  of  worry 
to  rose  growers,  and  the  south  seems  to 
be  a  favorite  stamping  ground.  These 
little  insects  begin  to  seek  comfortable 
winter  quarters  whenever  the  nights  be- 
gin to  get  cool,  and  the  amount  of  dam- 
age they  can  do  in  a  short  time  is  in- 
calculable. They  feed  on  the  petals  of 
the  flowers,  which  soon  assume  a  decayed 
appearance,  making  them  unfit  for  sale. 
Constant  fumigating  with  tobacco  stems 
will  eradicate  them,  but  it  will  alscf  ruin 
the  blooms  and  hence  some  other  remedy 
must  be  sought.  Persian  insect  powder 
blown  all  over  the  blooms  and  through 
the  house  will  do  the  trick  in  one  or 
two  applications.  I  believe  W.  K.  Part- 
ridge, of  Lockland,  O.,  was  the  first  to 
use  this  remedy,  and  F.  P.  Davis,  of  Mo- 
bile, Ala.,  also  uses  it  with  perfect  re- 
sults. 

Black-Spot. 

Black-spot  is  a  fungus  disease  of  the 
leaves  that  is  often  disastrous,  especial- 
ly on  Beauties  and  hybrid  teas.  It 
spreads  rapidly  and  must  be  handled  at 
its  first  approach.  Keep  a  close  watch 
for  it  from  October  on.  It  generally  at- 
tacks the  bottom  leaves  first,  but  unless 
checked  it  will  soon  affect  the  whole 
plant.  A  small  black  spot  will  appear 
on  the  leaf  and  in  a  day  or  two  will  have 
grown  about  as  big  as  a  ten-cent  piece. 
The  leaf  soon  turns  yellow  and  drops  off, 
spreading  contagion  all  around. 

The  infected  leaves  must  be  picked  off 
clean  and  burned,  and  close  attention 
paid  to  the  ventilation  and  general  clean- 
liness of  the  whole  house.  A  check  of 
any  kind  will  cause  it,  but  a  stagnant 
atmosphere  oftener  than  anything  else 
is  responsible  for  the  trouble.  Pay  par- 
ticular attention  to  the  ventilation,  espe- 
cially in  the  early  morning.  Spraying  the 
foliage  with  one  of  the  copper  solutions 
is  given  as  a  remedy,  but  this  leaves  a 
sediment  on  the  foliage  and  most  grow- 
ers have  discarded  it  as,  at  best,  only  of 
doubtful  advantage,  and  depend  on  hand 
picking  and  the  general  wholesome  con- 
dition of  the  houses.

YELLOW  FOR  JUNE  WEDDINGS. 

What  yellow  flowers  would  you  sug- 
gest for  a  June  wedding?         K.  C.  C. 

Coreopsis  grandiflora  would  be  a 
splendid  yellow  flower  for  a  June  wed- 
ding. Sow  the  C.  grandiflora  in  May 
to  secure  strong  plants  for  another  June. 
Other  yellow  flowers  are  not  abundant 
at  the  time  named.  Antirrhinum  and 
marguerites,  however,  could  be  had.  The 
last  named  ire,  perhaps,  the  most  use- 
ful of  all.  Some  of  the  German  iris,  or 
the  yellow  flag,  Iris  Pseudacorus,  could 
be  useful  for  decorating.  Of  course, 
>-«llow  roses  and  carnations  are  procur- 
able. C.  W.

It  is  reported  that  the  prick  of  a  rose 
thorn  four  weeks  ago  resulted  in  blood 
poisoning  which  caused  the  death  of  a 
young  woman  at  Stamford,  Conn., 
March  30. 


This   truth  Is  past  denying) 
Our  advertising  ought  to  be 

When   all    the    world   quits    buying." 

A  PRINTED  letter-head  commands  at- 
tention your  order  might  not  get  if  writ- 
ten, as  some  are,  by  thoughtless  people, 
on  any  handy  scrap  of  paper. 

The  imports  of  Belgian  window  glass 
for  the  last  week  of  March  were  3,403 
boxes  of  100  square  feet  each,  valued  at 
$7,314,  according  to   customs  reports. 

It  is  worth  while  noting  that  busi- 
ness, so  generally  satisfactory  at  Easter, 
has  since  then  been  quiet  all  over  the 
country,  with  large  quantities  of  cut 
flower  stock  accumulating  in  wholesal- 
ers '  hands. 

The  Pittsburg  Florists'  Club  is  to 
have  a  symposium  on  the  subject, 
"Credits,"  at  its  next  meeting.  Long 
and  loose  credits  are  one  of  the  crying 
evils  which  everyone  should  do  his  part 
to  mitigate. 

The  South  Park  Floral  Co.,  New 
Castle,  Ind.,  has  worked  up  so  large  a 
business  in  Beauty  plants  from  the 
benches,  as  a  result  of  its  magazine  ad- 
vertising, that  the  large  number  grown 
in  their  own  houses  does  not  suffice  and 
they  buy  largely  of  other  growers. 

After  a  season  of  such  general  large 
supplies  as  at  Easter,  conclusions  drawn 
from  reports  of  surpluses,  such  as  the 
quite  common  one  of  azaleas,  are  apt  to 
be  more  or  less  untrustworthy.  If  other 
stock  had  been  less  abundant  possibly 
these  left-over  items  would  have  sold  as 
well  as  usual. 


THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Amasa  Kennicott. 

Amasa  Kennicott,  who  was  one  of  the 
oldest  men  in  the  trade  in  the  west,  died 
Sunday  evening,  April  7,  at  his  home  at 
The  Grove,  near  Glen  View,  a  few  miles 
northwest  of  Chicago.  Had  Mr.  Kenni- 
cott survived  until  July  he  would  have 
been  70  years  of  age,  and  for  prac- 
tically all  that  time  he  made  his  home  on 
the  farm  where  he  was  born  and  died. 
Mr.  Kennicott  was  the  son  of  Dr.  John 
A.  Kennicott,  well  known  to  early  hor- 
ticulturists. He  came  to  Illinois  in  1836 
and  took  the  property  at  The  Grove  as 
a  government  grant.  Amasa  was  the 
first  of  several  sons  born  there.  Those 
remaining  are  Flint  Kennicott,  president 
of  the  Kennicott  Bros.  Co.,  Chicago,  and 
Bruno  Kennicott,  who  is  in  the  city  em- 
ploy. One  sister,  Mrs.  Dr.  F.  W.  Eeilly, 
also  survives.  From  boyhood  Amasa 
Kennicott  was  surrounded  by  horticul- 
ture and  horticulturists.  He  has  followed 
horticulture  all  his  long  life,  save  the 
four  years  spent  in  the  army  during  the 
Civil  war,  as  captain  of  Company  F, 
Thirty-ninth  Illinois  Volunteers.  He  was 
commissioned  major  just  at  the  close  of 
hostilities. 

Mr.  Kennicott  was  probably  the  pio- 
neer in  the  growing  of  outdoor  flowers 
for  the  Chicago  market.  He  had  been 
engaged  in  this  for  so  many  years  that 
the  exact  date  of  the  first  sales  has  been 
lost.  In  the  80  's  he  induced  his  brother, 
Flint,  to  join  him  in  opening  a  retail 
flower  store  on  Wabash  avenue.  A  little 
later,  appreciating  the  opportunities 
which  lay  before  a  wholesale  flower  store 
in  Chicago,  they  started  wholesaling  at 
27  Washington  street,  in  a  basement 
where  the  Marshall  Field  building  now 


stands.  This  business  has  endured  to 
the  present  day,  although  Amasa  Kenni- 
cott withdrew  after  a  few  years. 

It  is  as  a  peony  grower  that  he  was 
best  known.  He  was  among  the  first  to 
awaken  to  a  realization  of  the  possibil- 
ities of  the  peony  as  a  cut  flower  and  it 
is  largely  due  to  his  leadership  in  the 
matter  of  growing,  storing  and  market- 
ing the  peony  that  the  present  enormous 
volume  of  peony  business  now  done  iu 
the  Chicago  market  has  been  attained. 
He  was  a  close  thinker  and  an  author- 
ity on  all  things  pertaining  to  the  peony. 
One  of  Mr.  Kennicott 's  sons,  Eanson,  is 
engaged  in  the  growing  of  peonies  and 
other  garden  flowers  at  Carbondale,  111, 
Walter  has  been  associated  with  his 
father  in  the  business  at  Chicago'  and 
upon  his  shoulders  the  management  of 
affairs  now  will  devolve.  With  the 
widow,  a  third  son  survives,  Harrison, 
better  known  as  "Tat,"  who  is  in  the 
state  employ. 

Mr.  Kennicott  was  known  throughout 
the  trade,  not  only  for  his  thorough 
knowledge  of  his  specialties,  but  for  his 
sterling  character.  No  act  of  his  busi- 
ness or  personal  life  ever  was  influenced 
by  other  considerations  than  right  and 
justice.  The  funeral  was  held  Tuesday 
afternoon  and  was  largely  attended.  The 
floral  tributes  were  profuse. 

Mrs.  W.  M.  Jones. 

Anna  B.  Jones,  wife  of  William  M. 
Jones,  of  East  Cambridge,  Md.,  died 
March  31  at  32  years  of  age.  She  had 
been  suffering  from  blood  poisoning  and 
her  death  was  due  to  heart  failure.  In 
addition  to  her  husband  she  is  survived 
by  five  children,  Anna,  Viola,  Myrtle, 
Edith  and  William.  She  was  the  daugh- 
ter of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  T.  Freeman, 
of  Baltimore. 

John  P.  Murphy. 

John  P.  Murphy  died  at  his  home, 
Saco,  Me.,  April  1,  at  the  age  of  67 
years.  He  had  been  sick  for  about  ten 
days  with  the  grip.  He  leaves  one  daugh- 
ter, May  E.,  two  brothers  and  a  sister. 

John  H.  Brierly. 

John  H.  Brierly,  one  of  the  pioneers 
of  Boulder,  Colo.,  and  a  prominent  flo- 
rist, died  at  his  home  in  Boulder  on 
Monday,  April  1,  aged  73  years.  Mr. 
Brierly  removed  to  Boulder  in  1860  and 
was  one  of  the  first  to  discover  the 
Marshall  coal  field.  He  is  survived  by  a 
widow  and  two  children.  The  funeral 
was  held  on  the  Thursday  following  his 
death  and  the  body  was  interred  in 
Green  Mountain  cemetery. 

Lulu  Hoffmeister. 

Miss  Lulu  Hoffmeister,  of  Cincinnati, 
died  March  30.  She  was  a  younger  sis- 
ter of  the  family  owning  the  Hoffmei- 
ster Floral  Co.,  which  is  composed  of 
August  Hoffmeister  and  his  two  sisters, 
Carrie  and  Mary.  The  burial  was  at 
Spring  Grove  cemetery,  April  2. 

Abram  De  Mallie. 

Abram  De  Mallie,  one  of  the  oldest 
citizens  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  died  April 
3.  He  was  born  in  Holland,  April  10, 
1821.  In  1855  he  and  his  wife  removed 
to  this  country  and  settled  in  Rochester, 
where  Mr.  De  Mallie  was  for  many 
years  engaged  in  the  nursery  business. 
Some  twenty  years  ago  he  suffered  a 
stroke  of  apoplexy  and  was  forced  to 
cease  work.  A  second  attack  caused  his 
death  before  a  physician  could  be  sum- 
moned.    Three  children  survive.

CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market. 

The  consensus  of  opinion  is  that  the 
market  has  been  decidedly  dull  since 
Easter.  Here  and  there  a  house  reports 
a  good  run  of  shipping  business,  but  the 
report  is  unanimous  that  local  demand 
is  light  and  erratic.  There  was  a  good 
business  locally  Friday  and  Saturday, 
but  it  was  the  first  time  last  week,  and 
this  week  started  with  a  total  absence  of 
the  local  buyers  in  the  market.  The  re- 
tailers sold  nothing  Sunday,  because  of 
an  all-day  rain,  and  consequently  carried 
over  supplies  suflScient  for  Monday;  and 
Tuesday  was  a  raw,  cold  day  with  snow 
flurries,  not  conducive  to  transient  busi- 
ness. 

The  weather  has  been  a  large  factor 
for  the  last  week.  It  has  been  cooler 
than  usual  at  this  season  and  has  seemed 
especially  disagreeable  following  the 
beautiful  spring  days  before  Easter. 
While  it  has  no  doubt  affected  trade  ad- 
versely, the  cold  days  have  put  new- life 
into  stock  and  qualities  throughout  the 
market  are  of  superlative  character. 
Everything  that  is  locally  grown  is  fine. 

In  spite  of  a  lack  of  life  in  the  de- 
mand, large  quantities  of  stock  have 
been  moved.  It  must  necessarily  be  so, 
for  production  is  heavy,  apparently  lit- 
tle affected  by  the  cooler  conditions. 
Prices  are  weak;  in  fact,  there  have 
been  no  stable  prices  for  two  or  three 
weeks.  After  the  legitimate  demand  has 
been  taken  care  of  the  surplus  has  been 
disposed  of  for  what  it  would  bring;  it 
has  been  the  harvest  time  of  the  cheap 
buyers.      So    many    out-of-town    special 


sales  people  are  operating  on  Saturdays 
that  it  usually  makes  a  good  clean-up 
Friday.  Lower  prices  for  thousand  lots 
are  quoted  for  Tuesday  and  Wednesday. 

The  Beauty  crop  is  something  wonder- 
ful. Every  grower  of  Beauties  is  cut- 
ting more  heavily  than  at  any  time  in 
his  recollection.  The  stock  is  nearly  all 
long-stemmed  and  buds  perfect.  The 
regular  demand  does  not  suflSce  to  any- 
where near  clear  the  market  and  strange 
tales  are  told  of  what  becomes  of  the 
surplus;  it  usually  realizes  lower  prices 
than  this  market  ever  has  known  for 
such  fine  stock.  Other  roses  are  not  in 
such  great  oversupply,  although  prices 
are  low.  Carnations  continue  rather 
more  than  the  market  needs,  but  most  of 
the  growers  say  the  crop  is  on  the  down 
grade. 

Indoor  bulbous  stock  is  approaching 
an  end.  Most  of  the  growers  report  that 
the  belated  Easter  lilies  are  now  pretty 
well  in  and  that  supplies  shortly  will  be 
down  to  normal.  Callas  continue  a  glut. 
Outdoor  bulbous  stock  from  the  south  is 
arriving  heavily  and  selling  poorly. 
There  is  considerable  lilac  of  poor  qual- 
ity. The  violets  are  rapidly  approaching 
an  end.  Sweet  peas  are  in  excellent  de- 
mand for  spring  wedding  work. 

Violet  Growers  Disappomted. 

As  had  been  foreseen,  the  Rhinebeck 
violet  growers  were  greatly  disappointed 
with  their  Easter  returns  from  the  Chi- 
cago market.  Nearly  all  season  Chicago 
has  realized  excellent  prices  compared 
to  those  of  other  cities,  but  at  Easter  it 
appears  that  Chicago  did  not  realize 
much  more  than  half  what  was  obtained 
in   New  York,  although   the  New  York 


average  was  the  lowest  ever  recorded  for 
Easter.  The  growers  have  hard  work 
understanding  why  the  stock  traveled 
badly  just  at  that  time.  But  this  does 
not  alter  the  fact  that  the  violets  re- 
ceived a  few  days  before  Easter  were 
practically  all  in  the  same  condition,  and 
unsalable,  because  of  apparent  heating  in 
transit.  The  wholesalers  feel  as  badly 
about  it  as  anyone,  but  were  helpless. 

Mooinger's  Close  CalL 

The  plant  of  the  John  C.  Moninger 
Co.  narrowly  escaped  destruction  on  the 
afternoon  of  April  3.  Fire  wiped  out 
the  equipment  of  the  Crew-Levick  Oil 
Co.,  adjoining  the  Moninger  establish- 
ment, and  it  was  only  direction  of  the 
wind  that  saved  the  greenhouse  material 
mill.  As  it  was,  all  the  windows  on  one 
side  of  the  factory  were  broken  by  heat. 
A  few  of  the  piles  of  cypress  in  the 
yard  were  burned,  representing  a  con- 
siderable loss,  but  this  the  insurance 
companies  made  good.  The  Adam 
Schillo  Lumber  Co.  is  located  just  across 
the  street  from  the  burned  oil  plant  and 
for  a  time  it  was  feared  the  fire  would 
reach  their  big  yard. 

It  is  the  second  time  within  little 
more  than  a  year  that  the  Moninger  Co. 
has  had  a  close  call  from  fire.  In  this 
case  destruction  of  the  plant  would  have 
meant  a  great  deal  to  the  trade,  for  the 
firm  is  exceedingly  busy.  There  has 
been  an  impression  that  most  of  the 
building  this  season  was  by  the  smaller 
growers,  but  the  Moninger  Co.  points 
out  that  up  to  the  date  of  the  fire  they 
had  shipped  a  greater  number  of  jobs 
making  a  carload  or  more  than  the  total 
number  of  carload  jobs  shipped  in  1906.

The  Samuelson  Daoce. 

The  employees  of  C.  A.  Samuelson 
held  their  first  annual  reception  at  the 
Unity  Club,  Saturday  evening,  April  6. 
More  than  300  people  were  present  and 
the  affair  was  a  splendid  success  in  all 
its  features.  The  musicians  were  on  a 
stage  back  of  a  bank  of  palms,  in  the 
center  of  which  was  an  enormous  vase 
of  long  Beauties.  The  parlors  also  were 
decorated  with  cut  flowers.  Tlie  grand 
inarch  was  led  by  Ed  Enders  and  Miss 
Johnson,  assisted  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ed- 
ward Eisner.    Refreshments  were  served. 

VariotM  Notes. 

Amasa  Kennicott,  one  of  the  found- 
ers of  the  Kennicott  Bros.  Co.,  died 
April  7.  A  sketch  of  his  career  will  be 
found  in  the  obituary  column  on  another 
page  of  this  issue. 

Frank  Beu  is  reported  to  have  taken 
in  $600  this  season  on  half  a  house  of 
callas.  However,  a  considerable  part  of 
the  stock  was  sold  at  retail. 

Weiland  &  Risch  say  that  Killarney  is 
now  blooming  almost  as  freely  as  Amer- 
ican Beauty. 

N.  J.  Wietor  says  he  wishes  the  call 
for  Beauties  was  as  insistent  as  the  de- 
mand for  young  stock  of  chrysanthe- 
mums. 

The  first  peonies  of  the  season  were 
on  exhibition  at  the  store  of  the  J.  B. 
Dcamud  Co.,  April  8. 

The  E.  F.  Winterson  Co.  now  has  all 
its  supplies  moved  to  the  street  floor  and 
is  gradually  getting  in  its  seed  stock. 
John  Degnan  has  suffered  severely  with 
Bore  throat,  as  a  result  of  the  bad 
weather,  and  has  been  obliged  to  remain 
at  home  for  a  couple  of  days. 

The  Chicago  Rose  Co.  has  divided  its 
store,  the  south  half  having  been  rented 
to  a  mail  order  grocery  concern. 

Sol  Garland  has  canceled  his  order  for 
an  automobile — to  buy  a  bigger,  better 
and  faster  machine,  it  is  said. 

W.  L.  Palinsky  says  he  had  much  the 
largest  Easter  business  in  his  many 
years'  experience.  He  says  that  while 
sales  were  larger  than  ever,  there  is  not 
much  profit  in  growing  hyacinths  for 
sale  in  pots  at  $12.50  per  hundred.

symposium  on  the  Easter  trade.  There 
also  will  be  a  discussion  on  trade  inter- 
ests as  seen  from  the  retailers'  view- 
point, from  which  everyone,  either  grow- 
ing or  wholesaling,  will  get  many  ideas. 
I'nder  the  leadership  of  President  Bruns 
there  is  something  of'  interest  at  every 
meeting  and  attendance  is  steadily  in- 
t^reasing. 

H.  Hasselbring,  of  the  department  of 
I'otany  at  the  University  of  Chicago,  who 
^vas  the  first  secretary  of  the  Illinois 
>*tate  Florists'  Association,  is  a  son  of 
Ji.  Hasselbring,  who  has  a  range  of  50,- 
I'OO  feet  of  glass  in  roses,  carnations 
ind  miscellaneous  stock  at  Flint,  Mich. 

George  Eeinberg,  in  addition  to  his 
extensive  rebuilding  operations,  is  put- 
ting up  five  new  houses  to  fill  a  triangu- 
lar piece  of  ground  adjoining  his  rebuilt 
"ange. 

E.  0.  Amling  says  he  looks  for  carna- 
tions to  become  much  better  property  in 
<he  course  of  a  couple  of  weeks. 

Kennicott  Bros.  Co.  was  delayed  in 
getting  into  its  new  store  on  Wabash 
avenue  by  the  plumber's  failure  to  make 
Hater  connections. 

W.  M.  Tiplady,  formerly  gardener  at 


the  penitentiary  at  Joliet,  is  now  in 
charge  at  Elmendorf  Farm,  Lexington, 
Ky.,  where  a  new  range  of  glass  is 
shortly  to  be  built. 

P.  J.  Hauswirth  is  cutting  a  nice  crop 
of  gardenias — from  some  left-over  Eas- 
ter plants.- 

P.  M.  Kirscht,  at  Morton  Grove,  says 
he  will  have  his  largest  crop  of  carna- 
tions by  the  end  of  this  month. 

Johnson  &  Chronis,  who  have  the  cut 
flower  department  at  the  Fair,  have  a 
big  decoration  in  the  store  this  week. 
Kennicott  Bros.  Co.  supplied  ninety 
cases  of  wild  smilax  for  it.  Every  one 
of  the  thousands  of  employees  is  wear- 
ing a  carnation. 

Vaughan  &  Sperry  say  that  the  cool 
weather  has  added  to  the  length  of  the 
violet  season.  With  cool  days  again  the 
stock  is  coming  through  from  Rhinebeck 
in  fair  shape. 

H.  C.  Rowe  is  selling  many  small 
birchbark  pans  and  baskets  planted  with 
asparagus  and  selaginella. 

C.  W.  McKellar  says  there  was  a  good 
call  for  orchids  Monday,  caused  by  the 
opening  of  the  season  of  grand  opera. 

Baskets  and  hampers  of  pussy-willows 


are  used  with  good  effect  at  O.  J.  Fried- 
man 's. 

Peter  Eeinberg 's  first  range  on  "the 
farm, ' '  which  still  is  within  the  city  lim- 
its, will  consist  of  five  houses.  Carna- 
tions will  be  the  principal  crop  grown 
there  next  season. 

Visitors:  Mike  Stauch,  on  his  way 
from  Council  Bluffs  to  Pittsburg;  E. 
Button,  of  Button  Bros.,  Lake  Geneva, 
Wis.;  E.  M.  Zetlitz,  of  the  Lima  Floral 
Co.,  Lima,  O.,  on  his  way  to  Dakota.

The  Market 

Since  Easter  the  market  has  been  far 
from  satisfactory.  On  occasional  days 
there  is  a  little  spirit,  but  on  the  whole 
it  is  slow  and  dragging,  with  far  too 
much  material  coming  in,  a  good  por- 
tion of  which  has  to  be  cleared  at  low 
rates.  Roses  are  now  abundant  and  have 
slumped  considerably  in  prices,  short- 
stemmed  teas  being  now  down  to  $1  and 
$2  per  hundred.  Beauties  are  quite  plen- 
tiful and  of  good  quality.  Richmond 
and  Killarney  are  also  excellent.   Brides

and  Maids  are  now  too  many  for  require- 
ments and  have  dropped  considerably  in 
price.  Carnations  are  in  oversupply  and 
good  flowers  are  now  down  to  $2  per 
hundred.  Enchantress  is  coming  of 
rather  a  pale  color  and  preference  for 
some  time  will  be  given  to  Fair  Maid, 
which  holds  its  color  better  in  summer. 

Violets  are  getting  smaller  and  some 
growers  are  almost  finished  with  the  sin- 
gle ones.  Stock  from  frames  is  of  best 
quality  and  realizes  75  cents  per  hun- 
dred. Sweet  peas  are  fine  and,  with  vio- 
lets, sell  as  well  as  anything  on  the  mar- 
ket. Lily  of  the  valley  is  ample  for  all 
requirements. 

Narcissi  and  tulips  are  still  a  little 
too  abundant  and  selling  low,  but  there 
is  less  of  a  glut  of  these  than  at  Easter. 
Outdoof  flowers  of  narcissi  will  soon  be 
on  the  market,  as  some  are  already  in 
bloom.  Antirrhinum  is  seen  of  fine  qual- 
ity. The  dark  shades  sell  slowly,  but 
white  and  yellow  move  better.  There  is 
a  good  assortment  of  primroses,  poly- 
anthus, anemones,  Spanish  iris  and  other 
seasonable  flowers. 

In  choice  flowers  cattleyas  are  scarce. 
A  few  C.  Mossiae  have  made  their  ap- 
pearance. Gardenias  are  rather  more 
plentiful  and  sell  well  at  the  higher  class 
stores.  Supplies  of  hardy  ferns  are  now 
arriving  of  good  quality.  The  long  spell 
of  snow  made  it  impossible  to  collect 
any  of  these  for  several  months. 

We  have  reverted  to  winter;  there  was 
a  severe  snow  storm  April  9  and  Wednes- 
day found  the  market  weak,  with  light 
demand. 

Lumsden'i  Plans. 

David  Lumsden  is  leaving  the  W.  W. 
Edgar   Co.,   of  Waverley,   and  it  is  an- 


nounced that  he  will  shortly  start,  near 
Boston,  a  large  wholesale  establishment 
for  growing  plants,  making  ferns,  palms 
and  other  decorative  plants  his  specialty. 
He  is  well  known  as  an  expert  grower 
and  is  qualified  to  make  a  success  of 
such  an  undertaking. 

Varioui  Notes. 

Wednesday  evening,  April  24,  will  be 
the  night  of  the  annual  banquet  of  the 
Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Club,  at  Hor- 
ticultural hall,  of  which  the  trustees  have 
given  the  use  for  the  evening.  Tickets 
are  procurable  from  ofScers  and  mem- 
bers of  the  executive  committee  and  in- 
dications all  point  to  a  banner  attend- 
ance. 

The  landscape  gardening  classes  of 
the  Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Club  have 
just  closed  after  a  successful  season.  A 
field  day  is  being  planned  for  April  19, 
to  either  the  Parkway  System  or  the  Ar- 
nold Arboretum. 

Broad-leaved  evergreens  have  suffered 
rather  severely  here  the  past  winter. 
Conifers  have  escaped  almost  unscathed. 
Crimson  and  other  rambler  roses  are  cut 
down  to  the  snow  line  in  many  places. 
California  privet  has  again  got  a  black 
eye  and  is  killed  to  the  ground  in  some 
places. 

J.  K.  M.  L.  Farquhar  visited  Lenox 
April  6  and  lectured  before  the  local 
horticultural  society  there. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  board  of 
trustees  of  the  Massachusetts  Horticul- 
tural Society  it  was  ordered  to  keep  the 
library  open  Sunday  afternoons  and  one 
or  two  evenings  per  week,  also  to  allow 
gardeners  and  others  to  take  out  books 
for  purpose  of  study  under  certain  re- 
strictions.    It  was  also  voted  to  invite

its  exhibition  at  Horticultural  hall  in 
September,  in  conjunction  with  the  so- 
ciety's show.  Resolutions  on  the  death 
of  George  F.  Fabyan  were  adopted. 

Frank  Walsh,  son  of  John  Walsh,  of 
Melrose  Highlands,  who  was  for  a  num- 
ber of  years  manager  of  the  Park  street 
flower  market,  was  married  April  9  and 
is  receiving  the  good  wishes  of  many  of 
the  craft. 

We  are  pleased  to  report  that  E,  Su-

after  a  quite  severe  illness. 

Members  of  the  Gardeners'  and  Flo- 


rists' Club  will  please  bear  in  mind  the 
meeting  of  April  16.  In  addition  to  a 
timely  lecture  on  "Landscape  Garden- 
ing," by  B.  K.  Howard,  a  number  of 
other  attractions  are  planned  and  no  one 
can  afford  to  be  absent.  Some  fine  ex- 
hibits are  already  promised  for  this 
meeting. 

John  Kelly,  formerly  employed  by 
N.  F.  McCarthy,  Welch  Bros,  and  others 
in  Boston,  died  on  April  4.  He  leaves 
a  widow  and  five  children. 

Neil  Casey,  of  Melrose,  had  rambler

street  market  April  6.    Its  single,  pink, 


apple-blossom-colored  flowers,  borne  on 
large,  erect  sprays,  are  beautiful  and  it 
should  make  a  desirable  Easter  plant. 
We  find  it  perfectly  hardy  in  New  Eng- 
land and  of  more  moderate  growth  than 
the  other  ramblers. 

Among  desirable  flowering  plants  no- 
ticed in  Boston  stores  last  week  were 
Calla  Elliottiana,  Azalea  Novelty,  Jas-

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising  Eastern  Market 

The  volume  of  business  in  cut  flowers 
since  Easter  has  been  larger  than  for 
the  corresponding  period  last  year.  Con- 
ditions, however,  are  decidedly  unsatis- 
factory. The  quantity  of  stock  coming 
into  the  market  each  day  seems  larger 
than  ever  before,  and  is  certainly  larger 
than  necessary  for  all  legitimate  busi- 
ness. The  fakers  make  valiant  efforts 
to  dispose  of  the  surplus,  but  even  the 
fakers  are  becoming  fastidious,  declin- 
ing poor  or  stale  carnations  at  any 
price,  and  demanding  spring  flowers- 
daffodils,  sweet  peas,  valley  and  violets. 

Prices  are  receding,  the  fall  on  Ameri- 
can Beauty  roses  being  as  rapid  as  any 
bear  could  wish.  At  present  quotations 
Beauties  and  tea  roses  are  cheap  enough 
to  prove  attractive  to  the  moderate  price 
buyers,  and  the  retailers  are  taking  ad- 
vantage of  the  opportunity  to  push  roses 
with  this  class  of  customers.  Short- 
stemmed  roses  are  almost  unsalable.  The 
flower  lovers  who  buy  regularly  durifcg 
the  winter  turn  naturally  to  spring  flow- 
ers at  this  season,  and  sweet  peas  seem 
a  special  favorite  with  them  and  also 
for  the  weddings  now  so  numerous.  Car- 
nations are  cheap,  plentiful  and  hard  to 
sell.  Lieut.  Peary  brings  top  price,  a 
point  ahead  of   Enchantress. 

Single  violets  are  about  over,  except- 
ing some  stock  from  the  frames,  but 
doubles  continue  excellent  for  so  late  in 
the  season.  "White  lilac  is  nearly  done. 
Easter  lilies  are  becoming  plentiful 
again  and  sell  fairly  well,  though  there 
is  no  especial  demand.  Bulbous  stock 
is  on  the  wane,  both  tulips  and  daffodils 
being  far  less  plentiful  than  a  week  ago. 
The  shipments  of  southern  daffodils  have 
been  interrupted,  possibly  by  the  colder 
weather  of  the  beginning  of  the  week. 
Sniilax  is  scarce  and  in  demand.  Dag- 
ger ferns  are  almost  out  of  the  market. 
There  is  quite  a  run  on  Asparagus 
plumosus. 

The  Easter  price  of  Kaiserins  should 
have  read  $12  to  $15,  instead  of  $15  to

Easter,  are  now  pretty  well  cut  out. 

The  April  Meetios. 

The  April  meeting  of  the  Florists' 
Club  was  fairly  well  attended,  the 
plantsmen  and  growers  of  Easter  lilies 
being  strongly  in  evidence.  They  all 
wore  a  happy,  prosperous  look,  reflected 
less  strongly  in  the  faces  of  their  cut 
flower  brethren.  The  consensus  of  opinion 
was  that  the  mild  Friday  and  Saturday 
before  Easter  had  enabled  them  to  sell 
to  the  street  venders  all  the  leftovers  of 
the  store  orders.  Fred  Hahman  presided. 
Paul  F.  Richter's  paper  will  be  found 
elsewhere  in  this  issue.  Mr.  Riohter  was 
listened  to  with  great  interest.  B.  D. 
Capteyn,  representing  Van  Waveren  & 
Kruijft",  of  Holland,  /'gave  an  interesting 
talk  on  bulbs,  describing  varieties  of 
tulips,  daft'odils  and  hyacinths  with  the 
treatment     necessary     to     succeed     with 


each.  John  Westcott  brought  a  specimen 
pink  spiraea  which  Mr.  Capteyn  said 
would  color  even  better  if  the  glass  were 
shaded  when  the  flower  spikes  appeared. 
George  Burton  had  the  Lord  &  Burnhani 
cup,  which  he  won  in  Washington  last 
month,  on  exhibition.  He  filled  it  hand-

Phil  was  informed  that  there  were 
some  very  interesting  things  to  see  at 
Riverton.  The  first  intimation  came 
through  Harry  C.  Sim,  on  the  evening 
of  the  banquet  tendered  the  executive 
committee  of  the  S.  A.  F.  in  Horticul- 
tural hall.  But  Phil  thought  Mr.  Sim 
was  troubling  about  the  speech  he  had 
to  make,  and  so  wanted  to  give  him 
trouble.  Phil  had  troubles  enough  of 
his  own  at  the  time  and  was  not  hunting 
more.      Later    on,    however,    Mr.    Sim's

version  was  confirmed,  and  Phil  hastened 
to  rectify  his  error  and  selected  the  first 
available  afternoon  for  the  pleasant  ex- 
cursion. Lunch  was  eaten  neither  in 
Pennsylvania  nor  in  New  Jersey  (guess 
where)  and,  luck  being  on  Phil's  side,  he 
met  a  quartette  of  the  men  who  have 
made  Dreer's  place  famous.  There  were 
J.  D.  Eisele,  lately  returned  from  his 
European  trip;  George  A.  Strohlein, 
James  T.  Clark  and  John  A.  Ruppert, 
who  is  at  Biverton  occasionally,  although 
nobody  would  think  so,  as  he  seems  to  be 
everywhere  else.  Taking  the  houses  in 
order  of  interest,  rather  than  in  sequence, 
the  range  that  will  interest  Review 
readers  most  at  this  season  was  that 
formerly  devoted  to  azaleas,  now  com- 
pletely filled  with  hardy  roses  in  5  and 
6-inch  pots.  The  houses  in  this  range 
are  open  between,  the  plants  being  set 
on  the  floor.  The  effect  is  of  a  great 
field   of   roses   just   starting  into   active 


growth.  It  is  diflBcult  to  give  an  idea  of 
numbers  or  of  varieties,  there  are  so 
many.  Perhaps  the  best  way  would  be 
to  mention  an  order  for  2,500  plants  to 
be  used  in  the  rose  garden  on  a  large 
place  in  the  west.  Such  orders  can  be 
readily  filled,  although  the  vast  majority 
are  for  twenty-fives,  twelves  and  sixes. 
The  plants  are  all  budded.  Each  is 
labeled  with  heavy  manila  paper,  found 
to  outlast  wood,  the  name  being  neatly 
printed.  To  any  ordinary  house  the  dis- 
posal of  such  a  vast  stock  of  roses  in 
one  season  would  be  an  impossibility, 
but  the  records  show  that  it  has  been 
done  nicely  each  year. 

The  next  range  in  point  of  interest 
was  devoted  chiefly  to  Cocos  Weddel- 
liana,  a  large  block  being  lately  shifted 
from  3-inch  into  5-inch  pots.  Review 
readers  may  recall  that  this  batch  of 
Cocos  described  three  months  ago  was 
an  exceptionally  fine  lot  of  plants.  When 


Mr.  Eisele -returned  from  Europe  one  of 
his  first  questions  to  Mr.  Strohlein  was, 
"How  are  the  Cocos?"  to  which  Mr. 
Strohlein  replied,  with  a  smile,  "Yel- 
low," meaning  it,  of  course,  in  a  Pick- 
wickian sense,  or  possibly  he  saw  visions 
of  the  yellow  stream  that  these  Cocos 
would  draw  to  Biverton.  They  are  as 
fine  a  lot  of  plants  as  one  could  wish 
to  see,  and  when  finished  in  5-inch  pots 
should  be  well  worth  seeing.  A  point 
of  interest  with  regard  to  these  Cocos  is 
that  the  soil,  which  it  has  always  been 
supposed  should  be  rather  loosely  packed, 
has  been  made  as  firm  as  the  pots  them- 
selves, and  in  it  the  roots  appear  entirely 
at  home. 

Phoenix  Boebelenii  has  done  so  well 
that  blocks  of  it  are  being  grown  to 
succeed  the  present  shapely  plants  in  the 
salable  sizes.  There  is  one  nice  lot  in 
thumb  pots  and  another  just  showing 
above  the  seed  bed. 

Variotit  Notes. 

Dr.  Naaman  H.  Keyser  delivered  an 
illustrated  lecture  on  "A  Trip  Through 
the  Southwest"  before  the  Germantown 
Horticultural  Society  last  Monday  even- 
ing. The  slides  were  collected  during 
Dr.  Keyser 's  visit  to  Colorado  and  south- 
ern California  in  May,  1905. 

M.  Bice  &  Co.  invite  each  and  every 
florist  attending  the  Elks'  and  S.  A.  F. 
conventions,  that  will  be  held  in  Philadel- 
phia this  year,  to  make  their  establish- 
ment headquarters,  assuring  them  of  a 
hearty  welcome  and  open  house  the  en- 
tire week. 

In  describing  the  spring  show  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Horticultural  Society  last 
week,  this  paragraph  apj^eared:  "Bose 
Anny  Muller  is  a  pretty  plant  in  bloom. 
It  is  of  the  type  of  Baby  Eambler,  only 
better."  It  should  have  read  "only 
taller. ' '  Anny  Muller  is  a  pink  cluster 
rose,  in  height  perhaps  one-half  taller 
than  Baby  Bambler  as  seen  here.

back  with  him  some  novelties  of  excep- 
tional merit  that  will  make  a  stir  in  this 
country. 

Thaddeus  N.  Yates  &  Co.  grew  twice 
as  many  Easter  plants  as  last  year  and 
cleared  them  all  out  before  Easter  in 
good  style.  Lilies  and  spiraeas  sold  best. 
Eight  empty  houses  have  been  refilled 
with  bedding  plants.  There  are  25,000 
geraniums,  12,000  cannas,  with  coleus, 
sage  and  others  in  smaller  numbers. 

Edward  Towill  has  received  the 
Michell  cup,  won  at  Washington.  It  is 
appropriately  engraved  and  will  be  high- 
ly  prized   in   the   Towill   family. 

Paul  J.  Klingsporn  says  his  brother, 
William,  is  twice  as  big  a  man  as  he. 
Possibly,  but  not  twice  as  good,  surely. 

Phil. 


Concord,  N.  H.— The  firm  of  F.  A. 
Main  &  Co.  has  dissolved,  Mr.  Main  re- 
tiring. C.  H.  Barrett  will  continue  the 
business  at  the  old  stand,  at  28  Pleas- 
ant street. 

Denver,  Colo.— The  Goeschl  &  Wood 
Floral  Co.  is  a  new  incorporation  with 
a  capital  of  $10,000.  Mary  W.  Goeschl 
and  B.  M.  Wood  are  the  incorporators. 


ST.  LOUIS. 

The  Market. 

Trade  since  Easter  has  not  been  any 
too  good,  although  there  always  is  some- 
thing doing,  but  not  enough  to  keep  us 
all  busy.  Quite  a  few  weddings,  recep- 
tions and  dinners  are  on  for  this  week, 
and  those  who  are  fortunate  enough  to 
have  the  orders  will  be  likely  to  put 
in  a  busy  week  with  both  plant  decora- 
tions and  cut  flowers. 

Stock  at  the  wholesale  houses  Monday 
was  still  as  plentiful  as  the  week  pre- 
vious. Roses,  especially,  are  much  in 
oversupply  in  all.  grades  and  varieties. 
Beauties  are  selling  cheap,  extra  long 
specials  as  low  as  $2  to  $3  per  dozen. 
The  stock  in  Richmond,  Ivory,  Killar- 
ney.  Bride  and  Maid  is  large,  of  good 
quality,  and  to  quote  prices  correctly  is 
a  hard  task. 

Carnations  have  also  come  down  in 
price  in  1,000  lots.  Plenty  of  these  are 
in  the  market,  and  unless  sold  cheap  a 
great  many  find  their  way  to  the  dump. 
The  quality  is  fine,  especially  Nelson 
Fisher,  Enchantress,  Lady  Bountiful  and 
Prosperity.  The  average  price  in  small 
lots  is  $2. 


Violets  are  becoming  scarce  and  are 
practically  over  for  this  season.  Ro- 
mans, Paper  Whites  and  freesias  are 
becoming  scarce,  but  Dutch  hyacinths, 
tulips,  valley  and  callas  are  still  plenti- 
ful. 

Sweet  peas  are  none  too  many  and 
there  is  quite  a  demand  for  them.  Com- 
mon ferns  are  up  in  price;  so  is  smilax. 
Other  greens  are  equal  to  all  demands. 

VariotM  Notes. 

Prof.  William  Trelease,  of  the  Mis- 
souri Botanic  Garden,  has  returned  from 
the  West  Indies  and  brought  quite  a 
number  of  new  and  valuable  plants. 

Superintendent  H.  C.  Irish,  of  the 
Missouri  Botanic  Garden  and  president 
of  the  Florists'  Club,  will  deliver  sev- 
eral lectures  for  the  ladies'  society  at 
Webster  Groves  during  this  week. 

J.  H.  Denker,  father  of  Edwin  Den- 
ker,  was  elected  mayor  of  St.  Charles, 
Mo.,  last  week.  He  reports  a  fine  Easter 
trade. 

The  tulip  beds  at  the  different  parks, 
and  especially  at  Shaw's  Garden,  are  a 
great  attraction  for  the  public.  The 
free  advertising  by  the  street  cars  has 
brought    out   big    crowds    almost   every

day.     The  beds  were  a  great  sight. 

Fred  W.  Pape,  florist  and  late  super- 
intendent of  parks,  has  the  sympathy  of 
the  trade  in  the  loss  of  his  wife,  who 
•lied  on  Sunday,  April  7,  after  a  short 
illness.  Mr.  Pape  has  many  friends  in 
the  trade  who  attended  the  funeral  Tues- 
day. 

At  Union  Market  all  the  plant  stands 
are  doing  a  rushing  business  and  some 
extra  fine  quality  of  stock  is  seen.  All 
report  sales  ahead  of  this  time  last  year. 

Ed  Gerlach,  manager  for  Kuehn, 
noted  for  his  winning  ways  and  for  his 
ability  to  talk  to  several  customers  at 
one  time  without  losing  his  smile,  says 
he  had  an  easy  time  this  Easter,  as  stock 
was  plentiful  and  trade  easy  to  handle. 

The  Bentzen  Floral  Co.  has  booked  a 
number  of  large  orders  for  spring  plant- 
ing, which  will  keep  the  force  busy  un- 
til late  in  May.  The  retail  store  on 
Grand  avenue  had  all  the  business  that 
could  be  handled  during  the  Easter  rush. 

The  trustees  of  the  Florists'  Club, 
Messrs.  Smith,  Beyer  and  Frank  Weber, 


held  a  meeting  at  Mr.  Beyer's  place 
April  4  and  completed  all  arrangements 
for  the  club's  rose  show  this  week.  The 
matter  as  to  the  club's  celebration  of 
its  twentieth  anniversary  was  laid  over 
until  after  this  month's  club  meeting. 
A  banquet  or  smoker  is  now  contem- 
plated, with  a  view  of  having  as  many 
of  the  ex-presidents  present  as  are  in 
the  city  at  that  time.       J.  J.  Bexeke. 


NET  YORK. 


The  Market 


There  is  a  blizzard  up  the  state  and 
seven  inches  of  snow  fell  Monday.  In 
New  York  there  must  have  been  seven 
inches  of  rain.  The  beautiful  weather 
of  Easter  week  was  most  unseasonable, 
though  universally  wolconio.  Tliis  work 
opened  cold  and  cheerless  and  its  influ- 
ence in  the  flower  market  is  plainly  evi- 
dent. Prices  have  fallen.  The  quota- 
tions of  last  week  were  Easter  prices 
and    rot    intended    for    the    days    after 


Easter  Sunday.  Last  week  prices  fell 
to  half  the  quoted  rates  before  the  week 
was  ended.  The  decline  must  be  about 
over  for  April.  Spring  weddings  should 
steady  the  market,  for  there  are  book- 
ings ahead  of  all  flower  seasons.  As  a 
sample  of  their  influence  and  an  indica- 
tion of  the  quantity  a  single  wedding

prices.    Carnations  have  retrograded  with 
the  roses,  even  the  novelties  selling  be- 
low expectations. 

Rhinebeck  shipped  2,356  boxes  of  vio- 
lets Easter  week.  One  hundred  and  fif- 
teen growers  participated  in  the  distri- 
bution. Nearly  six  million  violets  were 
forwarded  to  the  wholesale  dealers  of 
New  York  and  Ohicago.  Since  Easter 
large  shipments  continue  and  prices  re- 
main at  40  cents  for  the  selects,  down 
to  $1.50  a  thousand  for  the  surplus. 

Callas  and  Harrisii  are  selling  at  6 
cents  and  are  overabundant.  All  bulb- 
ous stock  is  at  the  lowest  figures  of  the 
year  and  large  shipments  arrive  daily

Qub  Meeting. 
Ladies'  night,  April  6,  was,  as  usual, 
a  great  success.  Nearly  200  members 
and  their  lady  friends  were  present  and 
the  evening  was  a  most  enjoyable  one. 
This  was  the  regular  monthly  meeting  of 
the  club.  President  Totty  was  in  the 
chair.  The  rose  exhibits  did  not  put  in 
an  appearance  and  the  only  flowers  dis- 
played were  fifteen  choice  varieties  of 
Anton  Zvolanek's  sweet  peas.  Walter 
Sheridan,  for  the  dinner  committee,  re- 
ported a  satisfactory  surplus  over  all  ex- 
penses and  the  outing  committee  read 
a  list  of  the  club's  members,  whose 
combined  subscriptions  for  prizes  and 
advertisements  already  totals  nearly 
$300,  with  over  200  members  yet  to  hear 
from.  The  boat  Isabel  and  Wetzel's 
Grove  have  been  secured  and  the  date 
July  2  decided  upon,  after  the  closing  of

Japanese  lilies  and  hardy  roses.  This  is 
by  all  odds  the  firm 's  banner  year. 

H.  H.  Berger  &  Co.  have  received  their 
importation  of  kentia  seeds.  The  de- 
mand this  year  is  likely  to  far  exceed 
the  supply. 

The  wholesale  colony  on  Twenty-eighth 
street  is  likely  to  receive  some  notable 
additions  shortly.  The  fact  is,  if  facili- 
ties were  greater  the  entire  wholesale 
contingent  would  center  there.  Desirable 
stores  are  scarce  and  ground  floor  privi- 
leges are  all  absorbed. 

Charles  Millang  occupied  several  stores 
for  Easter  and  cleared  them  time  and 
again,  so  great  was  the  demand  for 
plants,  both  in  and  out  of  the  city. 
He  still  has  the  up-town  market  bee  buzz- 
ing in  his  bonnet  and  has  a  good  place 
for  the  venture  if  he  can  induce  a  suflS- 
cient  number  of  growers  to  make  the  ex- 
periment with  him.  One  order  for  Easter 
plants  totaled  over  $3,000. 

William  Starke  had  an  enormous  Easter 
trade  and  did  a  lot  of  shipping  out  of 
the  city.  He  and  his  corps  of  assistants 
did  not  get  an  average  of  two  hours' 
sleep  a  night  for  seven  days.

to  make  a  gradual  slope  than  to  cut  the 
area  in  two  with  a  terrace.  The  terrace 
makes  a  place  look  smaller,  it  is  hard  to 
make  and  to  keep  in  order,  the  gra.ss  is 
difficult  to  cut  with  a  lawn-mower,  and 
unless  the  sod  is  dense  the  upper  part 
tends  to  wash  off  with  the  rains  and  the 
foot  to  fill  in. 

"If  it  is  necessary  to  terrace  a  lawn 
to  hold  it,  the  terrace  would  better  be 
at  one  side  rather  than  in  the  middle. 
In  that  case  it  is  possible  to  obtain  a 
good  breadth  of  lawn.  If  the  terrace  is 
at  the  outer  side  of  the  lawn,  next  the 
street,  a  perpendicular  masonry  retain- 
ing wall  may  be  constructed.  If  on  the 
inner  side  it  may  be  placed  close  to  the 
building  and  made  to  appear  as  part  of 
the  architecture,  practically  the  base  of 
the  building. 


"Terraces  look  best  near  buildings 
with  many  strong  horizontal  lines.  Thev 
do  not  lend  themselves  so  well  to  a  build 
ings  in  the  Gothic  style.  The  genera' 
tendency  is  to  make  too  many  terraces. 
The  cases  are  relatively  few  in  whicl^ 
they  may  not  be  dispensed  with."

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


April  11,  1M7. 


TORONTO. 


The  Market 


Trade  since  Easter  has,  as  usual  after 
a  holiday,  been  quiet  and  stock  has  been 
coming  in  plentifully.  Carnations  are 
quoted  as  low  as  $10  per  thousand,  with 
few  asking  for  quantities. 

Easter  trade  was  a  record-breaker  in 
point  of  volume  of  business,  and  with 
the  large  supply  it  left  it  up  to  the  pub- 
lie  to  make  the  business  from  the  re- 
tailers' standpoint;  and  they  made  good. 
A  noticeable  feature  was  the  large  sup- 
ply of  good  flowering  plants.  These 
found  ready  sale  and  it  is  quite  notice- 
able that  at  Easter  plants  are  rapidly 
displacing  cut  flowers  in  public  favor. 
It  is  up  to  the  cut  flower  growers  to  do 
something  to  hold  the  advantage  they 
have  had  for  years.  There  is  a  strong 
feeling  that  the  day  for  raising  the 
prices  at  Easter  is  at  an  end  and  that  cut 
flower  growers  will  have  to  maintain  the 
same  price  at  Easter  as  is  in  force  be- 
fore. With  plants  this  is  the  case,  and 
retailers  claim  that  is  why  plants  are 
so  much  more  salable. 

Dunlop's  had  a  fine  line  of  plants  of 
all  kinds  from  their  own  conservatories. 
Simmons'  store  was  a  bower  of  beauty, 
with  all  the  new  electric  fixtures  going. 
His  lilies  and  azaleas  were  particularly 
fine.  Tidy  &  Son,  as  usual,  had  a  store 
and  conservatory  full  of  the  best  selec- 
tion from  surrounding  greenhouses,  to- 
gether with  some  fine  imported  stock. 
Jennings  had  an  immense  stock  of  lilies 
and  sold  out  early  in  the  rush  Friday. 
He  had  to  do  some  tall  hustling  to  re- 
stock. H.  G.  Dillemuth  had  his  new 
wagon  out  for  the  Easter  rush  and  this 
helped  to  handle  the  big  trade  he  was 
favored  with.  The  advantage  of  a  con- 
servatory with  a  rear  entrance  makes  a 
great  difference  in  handling  a  rush  such 
as  he  had  on  Saturday. 

Among  the  wholesalers,  lilies  were  sold 
out  by  Thursday  and,  in  fact,  many 
were  sold  out  as  early  as  Tuesday.  Mil- 
ler &  Sons'  immense  stock  held  out  until 
Thursday;  then  he  had  to  refuse  many 
orders. 

The  shipping  trade  was  heavy  in  both 
plants  and  cut  flowers.  D.  J.  Sinclair 
imported  a  large  shipment  of  fancy 
Beauties  from  the  States,  which  arrived 
in  splendid  condition. 

The  greatest  seller  in  the  cut  flower 
line  was  violets  and  it  is  certain  To- 
ronto never  saw  so  many  as  at  Easter. 
Everything  sold  up  well  but  some  of  the 
large  wholesalers  took  stage  fright 
Thursday  and  pulled  the  price  down. 

Findley,  of  Brampton,  must  have 
picked  an  enormous  crop,  if  his  Toronto 
customers  can  be  relied  on,  as  they  all 
claim  to  have  handled  great  quantities.

OLEAN,  N.  Y. 


Llewellyn,  of  whom  mention  was  made 
last  week  as  having  moved  to  213  North 
Union  street,  now  has  the  finest  store  and 
best  location  of  any  one  in  the  florists' 
line  in  this  city.  He  reports  a  large 
Easter  trade;  in  fact,  more  than  double 
that  of  1906,  having  sold  all  the  high- 
priced  stock. 

D.  B.  Herron  also  reports  a  fine  Easter 
trade,  with  bright  prospects  for  spring 
business. 

F.  H.  Johnson,  who  has  been  confined 
to  the  house  for  several  weeks,  is  out 
again  and  reports  a  good  Easter  trade.

Vegetable  Forcing. 

St.  John,  Mich. — J.  W.  Irving  has 
bought  five  acres  of  land  for  market 
gardening  and  will  at  once  put  up  a 
greenhouse. 

Aurora,  III. — W.  B.  Davis  &  Co.  are 
preparing  fifteen  acres  of  land  adjoin- 
ing their  greenhouses  for  growing  out- 
door crops  in  the  summer. 

Bluffton,  Ind. — Spring  trade  is  be- 
ginning in  nice  shape.  Myers  &  Co.  have 
over  100,000  cabbage  plants  on  the  place. 
They  expect  to  grow  between  250,000 
and  300,000  of  all  kinds  of  vegetable 
plants.  These  plants  are  wholesaled  to 
local  grocers  and  retailed  at  the  green- 
houses, showing  what  a  business  in  this 
line  of  stock  can  be  worked  up  by  grow- 
ing first-class  stock.

IMPORTANCE  OF  GOOD  SEEDS. 

In  a  recent  talk  on  vegetables,  before 
the  Massachusetts  Horticultural  Society, 
John  W.  Duncan  said:  "It  would  be 
impracticable  for  me,  at  this  time,  to  say 
which  are  the  best  varieties  of  vege- 
tables, but  I  wish  to  pass  a  few  remarks 
on  some  varieties  of  the  more  common 
kinds  of  vegetables  which  possess  par- 
ticular merit  and  which  may  be  helpful 
at  this  season  in  the  selection  of  seeds 
from  the  alluring  catalogues  of  the  many 
reliable  seed  houses — and,  by  the  way, 
the  procuring  of  high-grade  seeds  is  one 
of  the  most  important  steps  towards 
having  good  vegetables.  By  high-grade 
seeds  I  mean  seeds  that  are  of  the  finest 
selection  of  the  variety  or  species  they 
represent..  I  have  yet  failed  to  find  the 
seed  store  that  could  supply  the  highest 
grades  of  all  kinds  of  vegetables  that 
a  gardener  may  wish  to  grow,  and  the 
gardener  will  invariably  find  that  he 
may  get  an  excellent  selection  or  strain 
of  one  kind  of  seed  from  one  particular 
seed  store  and  another  from  some  other. 
This  is  true  of  fine  strains  of  flower 
seeds,  and  it  is  equally  or  more  so  of 
vc;rotable  sep<ls. "

following  descriptions  of  varieties,  with 
hints  as  to  their  special  uses,  taken  from 
a  bulletin  of  the  Maryland  Experiment 
Station,  where  a  scientific  study  of  the 
tomato  has  been  made: 

The  Greater  Baltimore  is  a  handsome 
fruit  of  the  same  general  type  and  color 
as  the  Stone,  the  so-called  "red"  or 
canning  tomato.  This  seems  to  be  a 
valuable  addition  to  the  list  of  varieties. 

The  Stone  is  too  well  known  to  need 
a  description  here. 

Chalk's  Early  Jewel  is  a  good  variety 
for  market  or  home  use.  It  is  fairly 
early  and  will  yield  larger  crops  and 
over  a  longer  period  than  will  Sparks ' 
Earliana. 

Livingston's  Globe  is  a  fine,  meaty  to- 
mato. It  is  globe  shaped  and  on  this 
account  is  considered  desirable  for  slic- 
ing for  the  table. 

Salzer's  Bountiful  is  a  new  and  pro- 
lific variety,  but  is  poor  in  color,  being 
a  yellowish  red. 

Success  is  the  same  general  type  as 
Stone,  Paragon,   etc. 

Truckers'  Favorite  is  a  purple  tomato 
suitable  for  market,  although  usually  a 
little  more  irregular  in  shape  than  the 
Beauty. 

Matchless  is  an  old  standard  variety 
suitable  for  market  or  canning  purposes. 

The  Five  Million  Dollar  is  of  the 
same  type  as  the  Stone  and  has  given 
heavy  yields  in  the  two  years  just  past.

Sparks'  Earliana  is  one  of  the  earli- 
est of  the  smooth,  regular  tomatoes,  but 
it  needs  rich  soil  and  close  planting  in 
order  to  get  large  crops  for  market  or 
home  use. 

Wood's  Improved  Ponderosa  is  much 
like  the  old  Ponderosa  with  large  fruit. 

Livingston's  Beauty  is  the  old  stand- 
ard purple  variety  and  is  an  excellent 
market  sort  where  this  color  is  in  de- 
mand. 

The  Acme  is  similar  to  Beauty,  but  is 
earlier  and  not  quite  so  large. 

Burpee's  Earliest  Pink  is  similar  to 
Acme  or  Beauty  in  color,  biit  is  very 
early.  It  is  too  rough  for  a  good  mar- 
ket sort.

Seed  Trade  News. 


AMERICAN  8BED  TBADE  ASSOCIATION. 

res.,  Henry  W.  Wood,  Richmond,  Va.;  First 
Vlce-Pres.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo.  O.;  Sec'y  and 
Treas.,  C.  E.  Keodel,  Cleveland.  The  25th  annual 
meeting:  w  HI  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1907 


There  is  a  bill  regulating  the  sale  of 
agricultural  seeds  pending  in  the  Michi- 
gan legislature. 

It  is  reported  that  C.  C.  Morse  &  Co. 
will  shortly  add  to  the  plant  at  Glen 
Echo,  Cal.,  recently  acquired  from  the 
Cox  Seed  Co. 

T,  H.  Hopkins,  manager  of  the  Stur- 
geon Bay  interests  of  the  John  H.  Allan 
Seed  Co.,  has  been  in  the  northern  part 
of  Michigan  for  ten  days. 

It  looks  as  though  this  season's  prices 
on  onion  seed  may  appear  quite  mod- 
erate by  comparison  with  what  will  be 
asked  for  onion  seed  next  December. 

The  affairs  of  the  Hawkeye  Seed  Co. 
were  wound  up  April  2  by  A.  A.  Berry, 
of  Clarinda,  the  assignee.  The  matter 
has  been  dragging  for  the  several  years 
since  the  company  went  out  of  business. 

Since  English  seedsmen  now  are  pro- 
hibited by  law  from  paying  commis- 
sions to  gardeners,  Continental  houses 
are  circularizing  the  English  gardeners 
with  offers  of  liberal  commissions  on  all 
orders. 

It  is  reported  that  a  corporation  has 
been  formed  with  $300,000  capital  stock 
to  establish  a  seed  growing  farm  in 
the  vicinity  of  Terrell,  Tex.  The  in- 
formation is  given  that  this  is  the  first 
attempt,  on  a  large  scale,  to  grow  seeds 
in  the  south,  but  the  identity  of  the 
interested  parties  is  not  stated. 

The  Board  of  Education  at  Columbus, 
O.,  has  refused  the  application  of  the 
Columbus  Florists'  Club  for  permis- 
sion to  sell  the  school  children  packets 
of  flower  and  vegetable  seeds  at  a 
penny  each,  and  instead  instructed  the 
clerk  to  communicate  with  the  congress- 
man as  to  procuring  free  seeds  for  the 
children  from  the  congressional  dis- 
tribution. 


CALIFORNIA  CROP  LOSSES. 

In  reply  to  a  request  for  the  latest  in- 
formation as  to  the  losses  from  flood  sus- 
tained by  California  seed  growers,  C.  C. 
Morse  &  Co.  telegraphed  April  10: 

* '  The  onion  crop  is  badly  damaged ; 
probably  one-half  of  the  total  California 
acreage  has  been  lost.  Other  crops  are 
not  seriously  damaged,  but  were  planted 
very  late." 

CALIFORNIA  CONDITIONS  BAD. 

A  large  grower  of  seeds  in  the  Santa 
Clara  valley  of  California  said,  in  a 
business  letter,  under   date  of  April   1 : 

*  *  About  the  condition  of  the  crops,  at 
present  there  is  little  to  write.  We 
would  really  prefer  to  wait  until  some 
time  when  we  can  report  something 
good.  At  present  there  is  only  one  word 
to  describe  the  whole  situation,  from 
the  standpoint  of  the  California 
grower,  and  that  word  is  'bad.*  The 
writer  has  been  kept  pretty  much  at 
home,  trying  to  take  advantage  of  every 
day  of  fair  weather,  but  reliable  reports 
tell   of   the  entire   loss   of   the    growing

crops  of  one  firm,  and  of  the  loss  of 
about  200  acres  of  onions  of  another. 
The  smaller  growers  have  all  lost  some- 
thing, too,  and  the  season  is  so  bad  that 
replanting  with  other  crops  is  largely 
out  of  the  question. 

"And  with  the  bad  season  of  1906, 
followed  by  the  present  record-breaker 
for  trouble,  we  still  do  not  dare  ask  a 
fair  price  for  our  seed  because  when 
we  do  we  are  met  with  scorn  by  the 
eastern  dealers. 

"I  note  in  the  last  issue  of  the 
Review  that  Morse  has  absorbed  the 
interests  of  Cox.  The  logic  of  events 
points  strongly  to  the  concentration  of 
the  growing  in  few  hands,  and  when 
that  happens  the  seedsmen  will  learn 
what  it  costs  to  grow  seeds,  and  the 
knowledge  "will  be  a  revelation  to 
them."

of  March  was  the  unusually  warm  early- 
spring  weather;  a  return  to  wintry  con- 
ditions has  checked  demand  for  seeds, 
although  a  fair  run  of  orders  still  is 
passing  through  the  mail  order  houses. 
The  seedsmen  are  not  especially  sorry  to 
see  the  rush  checked  by  cooler  condi- 
tions; it  will  come  on,  taxing  all  facili- 
ties, as  soon  as  spring  comes  again.  All 
that  can  be  done  in  cool  weather  is  so 
much  the  better.  The  heavier  the  rush,

in  many  sections  where  planting  had  been

ders have  already  been  felt  in  many 
houses  doing  large  trade  with  Southern 
truckers. 

LATE  FROST  IN  GEORGIA. 

Reports  from  Savannah,  Ga.,  say  that 
great  damage  was  done  by  the  cold  of 
tlie  night  of  April  2.  Most  of  the  crops 
that  had  appeared  above  ground  are  re- 
ported kille«l.  Replanting  will  be  neces- 
sary for  corn,  melons  and  cantaloupes. 
Truck,  too,  was  badly  damaged,  peas, 
beans  and  potatoes  being  partially  or 
totally  killed.  Tlie  trucking  industry  is 
an  important  one  around  Savannah  and 
the  blow  to  the  farmers  is  a  serious  one. 
Other  correspondents  make  the  loss  ap- 
pear less  heavy.

formed  as  to  the  popular  desire  for 
free  seeds.  Although  all  sorts  of  or- 
ganizations last  winter  passed  resolu- 
tions condemning  the  free  seed  distri- 
bution, and  the  agricultural  and  rural 
press  was  almost  a  unit  in  opposing  the 
appropriation,  from  many  points  of  the 
country  are  coming  evidences  either  that 
the  plain  people  really  value  the  gov- 
ernment seeds  or  that  a  movement  has 
been  set  on  foot  to  counteract  the  cam- 
paign of  the  seedsmen.  Thus  far  it  does 
not  appear  that  the  evidence  is  manu-

seeds  to  the  country  papers,  sending 
each  one  in  the  district  one  or  more 
mailsacks  of  packets,  letting  them  an- 
nounce that  all  callers  were  welcome  as 
long  as  the  supply  lasted.  Congress- 
man E.  S.  Holliday,  of  Indiana,  sent 
seeds  in  this  way  to  the  Eockville  Re- 
publican.    The  editor  says: 

Contrary  to  expectations,  the  free  government 
garden  seeds  went  like  the  proverbial  "hot 
cakes."  Announcement  was  made  of  their  dis- 
tribution, on  Wednesday.  By  4  o'clock  of  the 
succeeding  Saturday  the  supply  was  exhausted, 
much  to  our  surprise  and  regret,  too,  for  there 
were   many  other  calls. 

The  editor  wrote  the  congressman  for 
a  second  supply  and  was  told  that  his 
quota  was  exhausted,  but  that  the  con- 
gressman would  take  pleasure  in  trying 
to  get  an  extra  allowance  from  the  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  and  would 
forward  promptly  if  secured.  "Where- 
upon the  editor  printed  this  paragraph: 

If  Mr.  Holliday  Is  successful  In  securing  an- 
other allowance  we  will  at  once  mall  a  pack- 
age to  the  addresses  on  hand.  It  was  a  sur- 
prise to  learn  how  popular  the  seed  distribution 
appears  to  be.

studied  with  a  view  to  improving  the

BEANS  AS  COMMERQAL  CROP. 

The  Department  of  Agriculture  will 
soon  issue  Farmers'  Bulletin  No.  289, 
"Beans,"  prepared  by  L.  C.  Corbett, 
horticulturist,  bureau  of  plant  industry, 
in  this  bulletin  types  of  beans  are  dis- 
cussed under  broad  beans,  kidney  beans, 
Lima  beans,  Dolicbos  beans,  soja  beans, 
scarlet  runner  beans,  and  velvet  beans. 
These  are  divided  into  two  classes, 
namely,  field  and  garden  beans.  Field 
beans  are  discussed  under  the  following 
subjects:  Preparation  of  the  soil; 
planting,  which  includes  the  quantity 
of  seed  per  acre,  as  well  as  depth  of 
planting;  culture;  harvesting,  which  in- 
cludes a  description  of  the  commercial 
methods  of  harvesting  the  crop  by  ma- 
chinery; thrashing,  with  a  brief  de- 
scription of  the  types  of  machines  used 
for  this  purpose,  together  with  a  brief 
description  of  the  subject  of  cleaning 
and    grading    the    product    for    market.

Garden  beans  are  discussed  under  type 
of  soils  to  which  they  are  adapted,  fer- 
tilizers used  in  connection  with  the  pro- 
duction of  this  crop,  cultivation,  har- 
vesting, yield,  enemies,  and  diseases. 
The  whole  matter  is  a  brief  summary 
of  the  commercial  industries  as  they 
now  exist  in  the  United  States  of  grow- 
ing dry  beans  and  garden  or  string 
beans.  Maps  accompany  the  text,  show- 
ing the  distribution  of  the  two  crops, 
and  there  are  illustrations  showing 
typical  fields  of  beans  grown  for  dried 
beans  as  well  as  those  grown  for  string 
beans,  together  with  character  of  im- 
plements used  in  handling  these  crops. 
Copies  of  the  bulletin  may  be  obtained 
upon  application  to  senators,  repre- 
sentatives, and  delegates  in  congress,

BROCTON,  MASS. 


W.  W.  Hathaway  reports  Easter  trade 
as  being  much  ahead  of  1906.  Pot 
plants  were  most  in  demand.  He  could 
have  sold  fully  100  pots  more  lilies,  al- 
though his  stock  was  much  heavier  than 
a  year  ago.  After  lilies,  azaleas,  rambler 
roses,  bulbous  stock,  hybrid  roses,  spi- 
raeas, etc.,  all  sold  well.  In  cut  flowers, 
trade  was  slower.  Violets  sold  well,  car- 
nations moderately  so.  Beauty,  Rich- 
mond, Killarney  and  Wellesley  roses 
were  in  fair  request.  Bulbous  stock  had 
little  call. 

A  plant  and  cut  flower  department  has 
been  opened  in  the  department  store  of 
James  Edgar  Co.  For  the  store  open- 
ing W.  W.  Hathaway  decorated,  using 
over  300  plants. 

F.  J.  Dodd  has  engaged  as  manager 
with  H.  F.  Crawford,  of  Montello.  At 
present  carnations  are  chiefly  grown,  but 
more  space  will  now  be  devoted  to  roses. 

The  various  dahlia  specialists  here  and 
in  West  Bridgewater  are  experiencing  an 
active  demand  for  plants  and  it  is  evi- 
dent that  the  dahlia  has  not  yet  reached 
the  height  of  its  popularity.      W.  N.  C.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


April  11,  1907. 


PACIFIC  COiST. 


McMiNNViLLE,  Ore. — Easter  trade  here 
was  all  that  could  be  desired.  S.  H. 
Maris  says  that  all  his  stock  of  flowers 
and  plants  was  sold  out  by  noon  the  day 
before  and  a  house  28x80  of  lettuce 
looked  as  though  a  cyclone  had  gone 
through  it. 


PORTLAND,  ORE. 


Easter  Trade. 

Most  people  are  glad  when  Easter  ar- 
rives, and  tne  florists  are  thankful  when 
it  is  past.  After  a  brief  interview  with 
the  retailers,  we  are  satisfied  that  the 
predictions  made  in  our  last  notes  have 
been  verified,  it  is  true  that  hundreds 
of  plants  were  not  far  enough  advanced 
to  be  offered  for  sale,  and  yet  there 
never  was  as  fine  a  showing  at  one  time, 
and  we  believe  all  demands  were  met. 
In  this  grand  collection  we  will  men- 
tion the  dwarf  crabapple,  new  here; 
rhododendron,  spiraja,  azalea,  cyclamen, 
hyacinth,  lily  of  the  valley  and  the  ever- 
popular  Easter  lily,  all  grown  to  a  high 
state  of  perfection  and  trimmed  in  the 
newest  toggery.  The  window  displays 
showed  good  artistic  ability  and  were 
much  talked  of. 

The  general  run  of  cut  flowers  was 
ample  and  excellent  and  we  have  not 
been  favored  with  such  clean  stock  for 
years.  Prices  did  not  frighten  custom- 
ers and  not  much  remained  in  this  de- 
partment but  a  mixed  lot  of  bulbous 
stuff,  most  of  which  was  grown  outside, 
but  brought  into  bloom  by  the  use  of 
incubators.  Easter  lilies,  both  cut  and 
growing,  took  precedence  over  everything 
else. 

We  are  too  tired  to  go  further  into 
detail,  and  for  any  other  information  ask 
Arnold  Kingier,  who  made  us  a  brief  call 
during  the  rush,  when  he  returned  from 
the  Sound.  He  congratulated  us  on  our 
great  display  and  delightful  spring 
weather.  H.  ^J.  M.

The  Market 


The  weather  has  given  us  a  variety  of 
changes  during  the  last  week.  At  the 
present  moment  it  is  raining,  and  at 
this  hour  yesterday  the  wind  was  blow- 
ing a  hurricane  and  the  dust  flying  in 
tremendous  clouds.  We  are  apparently 
having  our  March  weather,  and  it  is  put- 
ting a  damper  on  business  of  all  kinds. 

Flowers  are  plentiful  enough,  with  the 
exception  of  Lilium  Harrisii,  and  the 
prices  are  gradually  getting  a  little 
lower  than  they  have  been.  Good  Amer- 
ican Beauties  are  being  shown,  as  well 
as  fancy  stock  of  Brides  and  Maids, 
and,  although  rather  late  in  the  game, 
they  are  always  welcome. 

Carnations  are  to  be  had  in  any  quan- 
tity, and  the  quality  is  of  the  best. 
Sweet  peas  have  had  a  hard  tussle  with 
the  superabundance  of  moisture  with 
which  we  have  been  blessed  for  the  last 
two  months,  and,  in  turn  with  all  kinds 
of  hardy  outdoor  stock,  have  up  to  this 
time  been  in  short  supply. 

Violets  are  slowly  nearing  the  end  of 
their  season,  and  with  the  advent  of  a 
few  warm  days  they  will  be  of  little  ac- 
count.     Valley    is    in    big    supply    and

EASTER  AFTERMATH. 

Easter  is  now  a  thing  of  the  past, 
and  it  is  a  good  time  to  look  back  and 
see  what  has  taken  place  and  whether  it 
was  up  to  the  standard  of  former  years 
or  not.  It  is  now  one  year  since  the 
late  catastrophe,  and  the  city  of  San 
Francisco  is  rapidly  regaining  its  lost 
ground,   in  the  shape  of  new  buildings

and  other  improvements.  The  florists 
have  not  been  much  behind  in  the  way 
of  reestablishing  themselves  and  at  the 
present  time  all  the  large  firms  that 
were  in  business  at  the  time  of  the  fire 
are  again  represented,  and  probably 
about  one-half  of  the  smaller  stores  have 
found  locations  again.  Although  the 
town  is  probably  50,000  less  in  popula- 
tion than  it  was  a  year  ago,  the  love 
for  flowers  that  is  everywhere  predomi- 
nant here  has  tended  to  the  advantage 
of  the  trade,  and  more  flowers  were  used 
in  proportion  this  season  than  ever  be- 
fore. 

In  conversation  and  from  observations 
made  during  the  last  few  weeks,  the  fact 
that  there  would  be  a  short  supply  of 
Easter  stock,  and  more  particularly 
Easter  lilies,  was  everywhere  apparent 
and  most  of  the  stock  shown  was  neither 
up  to  form  nor  color.  Here  was  a  great 
mistake  made  by  the  growers,  and  the 
small  receipts  from  their  sales  where  the 
demand  was  so  great  should  be  a  good 
lesson  in  teaching  them  that  such  a  con- 
dition should  not  be  allowed  to  happen 
again. 

A  year  ago  all  the  eastern  bulb  men 
reported  heavy  sales  to  the  growers,  and 
that  there  would  have  been  extensive 
plantings  and  heavy  cuttings  there  could 
be  no  doubt.  But,  to  use  the  common 
expression,  they  got  "cold  feet,"  and 
a  majority  of  the   orders  were  counter-

manded  and  the  result  was  an  inade- 
quate supply  of  Easter  lilies.  Even  the 
growers  who  planted  a  few  to  see  how 
affairs  would  go  seemed  to  take  care  of 
them  in  a  haphazard  way,  and  what  few 
of  them  had  the  nerve  to  flower  at  all 
seemed  to   do   so  under   protest. 

In  other  lines  of  stock  there  was  a 
fair  supply,  with  an  equally  fair  de- 
mand at  prices  slightly  higher  than  those 
of  last  year.  Azaleas,  spiraeas,  wistarias, 
double  flowering  cherries  and  almonds  in 
pots  sold  readily  at  good  figures,  but 
the  public  were  not  to  be  satisfied  with 
anything  except  the  Easter  lilies,  and 
such  florists  as  had  a  supply  sold  them 
at  fancy  prices. 

A  few  growers  were  patriotic  and  far- 
sighted  enough  to  realize  early  in  the 
season  that  this  Easter  should  be  no  dif- 
ferent from  that  of  one  year  ago.  They 
planted  the  usual  amounts,  and  great 
were  their  efforts  in  dividing  up  a  few 
hundred  lilies  among  a  dozen  or  more 
stores  when  each  and  every  retailer  was 
willing  and  even  anxious  to  purchase  the 
entire  lot. 

From  present  indications  we  are  to 
have  a  good  late  spring  trade,  and  al- 
though the  weather  has  been  against  the 
full  enjoyment  of  rushing  business,  I 
see  nothing  ahead  but  heavy  demands 
for  everything  good  that  can  be  grown.

The  death  of  Abram  De  Mallie,  Roch- 
ester, N.  Y.,  aged  85  years,  is  recorded 
in  the  obituary  column  this  week. 

The  remains  of  Thomas  Douglas,  of 
R.  Douglas'  Sons,  Waukegan,  111.,  who 
died  at  Los  Angeles,  March  26,  were 
interred  at  Waukegan  April  7. 

The  W.  C.  Haviland  nursery  at  Fort 
Dodge,  la.,  suffered  considerable  damage 
April  2  as  the  result  of  fire  started  by 
sparks  from  a  passing  locomotive. 

The  season  in  the  middle  west  has 
been  prolonged  by  a  week  of  weather 
cooler  than  normal  at  this  sea^ion  of  the 
year;  but  all  early  trees,  shrubs  and 
herbaceous  stock  has  started  into 
growth. 

Ed  Silva,  state  horticultural  inspector 
for  Colorado,  says  he  is  receiving  much 
encouragement  from  nurserymen.  Even 
the  doubting  Thomases,  he  says,  are  be- 
ing convinced  that  a  certificate  of  in- 
spection  means  money  in  their  pockets. 

Wm.  a.  Peterson,  Chicago,  says  he 
believes  that  as  public  appreciation  of 
the  peony  grows,  the  common  sorts  will 
become  cheap  indeed,  but  that  it  will  be 
possible  to  sell  the  finer  varieties  in  in- 
creasing numbers  and  at  profitable  prices. 

There  is  nothing  the  average  editor 
of  a  daily  paper  likes  better  than  a  joke 
on  George  Ade,  the  Indiana  joker.  Con- 
sequently the  following  item,  from  Pasa- 
dena, Cal.,  with  many  variations  has  had 
wide  circulation:  "When  George  Ade 
was  last  in  Pasadena  he  wrote  to  a 
Dayton  (O.)  nursery  ordering  a  carload 
of  fruit  trees,  but  failed  to  specify  that

HARDY  HERBACEOUS  PLANTS. 

The  demand  for  hardy  herbaceous 
flowers  is  increasing  rapidly  for  various 
reasons;  among  them,  a  realization  of 
the  fact  that  in  planting  them  in  large 
numbers  and  in  great  variety  a  continua- 
tion of  bloom  is  possible  to  an  extent 
impossible  with   what  is  known  as  bed-

ding  plants,  and  that  with  the  added 
knowledge  and  consideration  that  once 
there  always  there,  with  but  little  trouble 
in  the  bargain. 

The  spring  is  the  best  time  to  plant 
young  stock  of  this  class  of  plants  and 
pot-grown  stock  is  superior  in  many  ways 
to  that  lifted  from  the  open  ground. 
For  that  reason  many  growers  grow 
herbaceous  plants  up  to  the  selling  size 
in  pots.  In  pots  they  are  also  much 
easier  handled  and  shipped  than  when 
from  the  open  ground. 

On  private  estates,  borders  of  her- 
baceous plants  of  mixed  varieties  and 
species  are  appropriate  and  sometimes  a 
necessity;  but  when  such  is  the  case, 
care  should  be  taken  in  selecting  the 
stock  for  planting,  that  in  the  collection 
there  will  be  material  that  will  insure 
an  unbroken  effect  throughout  the  sea- 
son, a  feat  quite  within  the  range  of 
possibility. 

On  commercial  places  it  is  much  the 
better  plan  to  plant  a  number  of  each 
species  and  variety  in  a  row  or  rows  by 
itself,  for  convenience  of  harvesting  the 
flowers  and  other  evident  reasons. 

The  fall  of  the  year  is  the  best  time 
to  divide  and  move  old  clumps  of  her- 
baceous plants.  All  tall  growing  varie- 
ties should  be  staked  and  kept  neatly 
tied.  B.  R. 


SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS. 

Wistarias  may  be  called  old-fashioned, 
but  they  are  useful,  nevertheless,  and 
there  seems  to  be  now  a  growing  demand 
for  them.  Wistaria  Chinensis,  the  com- 
mon blue  variety,  makes  a  great  display. 
In  May  it  is  invaluable  for  covering 
large  and  grotesque  tree  trunks  and  like- 
wise is  useful  for  covering  portions  of 
rustic  summer  houses  and  the  like.  W. 
Chinensis  alba  is  a  white-flowering  form 
of  the  former  variety  and  is  similar  in 
habit  of  growth  and  endurance.  It  is 
very  effective  when  grown  together  with 
the  blue  variety.  W.  multijuga  bears 
flowers  in  panicles  three  feet  long  about 
the  end  of  May.  In  color  the  flowers  are 
deep  purple  and  they  hang  from  all  over 
the  vine. 

The  pink  dogwood,  Cornus  florida 
rubra,  is  a  beautiful,  early,  spring-flower- 
ing shrub.  It  should  be  planted  early  in 
the  spring. 

The  Japanese  double-flowering  cherry, 
Cerasus    Sieboldi,    is    beautiful    when   in

changes  to  yellow  and  finally  to  bronze. 
It  is  unique  in  its  class. 

Ampelopsis  Veitchii  is  unsurpassed  in 
its  capabilities  for  efficient  service  when 
something  is  wanted  to  do  the  work  re- 
quired of  it  in  a  short  time;  and,  not 
only  that,  but  in  summer  it  equals  in 
beauty  of  foliage  any  other  vine  in  culti- 
vation. In  the  fall  when  the  leaves 
change  to  colors  innumerable,  it  is  pleas-

TAFT  ON  THE  SEEDLESS  APPLE. 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a 
' '  warning  "  by  L.  K.  Taf t,  of  the  Mich- 
igan Agricultural  College,  addressed  to 
the  farmers  of  this  state  but  of  interest 
to    all   nurserymen : 

"From  various  sources  it  has  come  to 
me  that  the  agents  of  the  Michigan 
Seedless  Apple  Co.  (so-called)  have  been 
taking  orders  for  the  Spencer  Seedless 
apple  and  that  many  farmers  and  fruit 
growers  have  agreed  to  take  one  or  more 
trees  at  $2  each.  They  have  been  led  to 
do  this  by  the  representation  that  the 
fruit  in  addition  to  being  large  in  size 
handsome  in  color,  fine  of  texture  and 
of  delicious  flavor  is  coreless,  seedless 
and  free  from  the  attack  of  the  codling 
moth  and  frosts.  I  have  been  watching 
this  variety  for  the  last  three  years  and 
am  convinced  that  it  is  in  every  way  in- 
ferior to  our  common  varieties  which 
can  be  obtained  for  10  to  15  cents  each. 

"The    state    law    requires    that    every

if  any  of  them  deliver  the  trees  for

MORE  BLUE  EVERGREENS. 

The  beautiful  blue-grey  tint  which  dis- 
tinguishes Roster's  pine  and  the  blue 
spruce  is  so  uncommon  that  it  is  desirable 
that  all  additions  of  this  delightful  color- 
ing should  be  made  as  widely  known  as 
possible.  In  walking  round  Veitch's 
Coombe  "Wood  nursery  the  other  day, 
which  we  may  remark  in  passing,  is  not 
only  a  wonderful  storehouse  of  rarities, 
but  one  of  the  most  charmingly  pic- 
turesque establishments  we  have  visited, 
we  noted  two  very  pretty  shrubs  of  this 
class,  says  a  writer  in  the  Horticultural 
Advertiser.  Cupressus  Azorica  is  a  shrub

GUTTMAN    &   WEBER 


The  Wholesale  Florist  of  XTew  York,  43  W.  88tli  Street.

Grower,  Xiynbrook,  Ii.  X.,  V.  Y. 


loosely  and  openly  arranged  than  in  most 
members  of  the  family.  Cedrus  verticil- 
lata  is  a  distinctly  graceful  plant,  notice- 
able even  among  the  deodara  and  other 
cedars.  Both  have  the  beautiful  blue 
tint  mentioned  above. 


HEDGES. 

Hedges  require  to  be  frequently 
trimmed  and  to  have  considerable  mois- 
ture. But  these  things  can  easily  be 
supplied  in  grounds  of  moderate  size, 
and  hedges  are  used  with  excellent  effect 
on  such  grounds. 

For  a  good  hedge  you  must  have 
thoroughly  prepared  deep  soil;  set  the 
plants  close,  and  shear  them  at  least 
twice  a  year.  For  evergreen  hedges  the 
most  serviceable  plant  in  general  is  the 
arbor-vitaj.  The  plants  may  be  set  at 
distances  of  twelve  to  thirty  inches 
apart.  For  choice  hedges  in  home 
grounds,  especially  outside  the  extreme 
northern  states,  the  retinisporas  are  use- 
ful. One  of  the  most  satisfactory  of 
all  coniferous  plants  for  hedges  is  the 
common  hemlock,  which  stands  shearing 
well  and  makes  a  soft  and  pleasing 
mass.  The  plants  are  set  from  one  to 
three  feet  apart.  Other  plants  that 
hold  their  leaves  and  are  good  for  hedges 
are  the  common  box  and  privet.  Box 
hedges  are  best  for  low  borders  about 
walks  and  flower  beds.  The  dwarf 
variety  can  be  kept  down  to  a  height 
of  six  inches  to  a  foot  for  any  number 
of  years.  The  larger  growing  kinds 
make  excellent  hedges,  three,  four  and 
five  feet  high.  The  ordinary  privet 
holds  its  leaves  well  into  winter  in  the 
north.  California  privet  holds  its  leaves 
longer  and  stands  better  along  the  sea- 
shore. 

For  deciduous  hedges  the  National 
Council  of  Horticulture  says  the  most 
used  plants  are  the  buckthorn,  Euro- 
pean thorn  apple  or  Crataegus,  the  osage 
orange  and  various  kinds  of  roses. 


THE  IDAHO  LAW. 

The  new  Idaho  law  provides  that  nur- 
sery firms  that  have  complied  with  the 
state  horticultural  laws  in  the  inspection 
of  their  nurseries,  or  the  nurseries  from 
which  they  procure  their  stock,  may  have 
duplicate  certificates  of  the  health  of 
their  stock,  upon  the  payment  of  $1  for 
each  certificate.  Any  violation  of  the 
law,  in  the  selling  of  the  stock  that  is 
not  inspected  or  having  a  clean  bill  of 
health,  is  made  a  misdemeanor,  with  a 
fine  of  $25  to  $300. 

Any  nursery  stock  may  be  brought 
into  the  state  without  having  been  grown 
in  an  inspected  nursery,  provided  the 
shipper  shall  submit  the  stock  to  a  qual- 
ified state  inspector,  who  will  give  him 
a  certificate  of  health,  charging  the 
shipper  for  the  inspection.

that  Easter  trade  was  better  than  ever, 
plants  selling  well  and  carnations  being 
in  special  demand.  They  had  a  large

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review^ 


Apbil  11,  1907. 


KALAMAZCX),  MICH. 

Easter  trade  was  good  with  all.  The 
wholesale  shipping  trade  was  heavy,  but, 
due  to  the  previous  hot  spell,  was  not 
quite  up  to  former  years.  Plants  found 
a  ready  sale.  One  of  the  notable  fea- 
tures was  an  exhibition  given  by  Van 
Bochove  &  Bro.  A  large  store  in  the 
main  business  section  was  rented  and  a 
fine  showing  of  flowering  plants  was 
made.  Easter  lilies,  spiraeas,  rambler 
roses,  azaleas  and  bulbous  stock  were 
the  main  attraction.  Large  specimen 
palms  were  used  for  decoration.  In  the 
evening  the  store  was  brightly  lighted 
and  hundreds  of  people  were  given  a 
chance  to  admire  the  biggest  flower  show 
the  city  ever  had.  By  Saturday  night 
nothing  of  consequence  was  left,  and 
Van  Bochove  &  Bro.  are  well  satisfied 
with  the  results  this  new  enterprise  has 
given  them. 

All  other  stores  made  a  good  showing 
for  the  holiday,  and  as  far  as  report 
goes  are  ahead  of  former  sales. 

F.  W.  Meyers  has  a  grand  lot  of  car- 
nations and  his  Lady  Bountiful  are  a 
sight.  He  also  has  a  fine  lot  of  bedding 
plants. 

The  Central  Michigan  Nurseries  have 
secured  the  services  of  W.  C.  Cook,  now 
with  the  Dunkley  Floral  Co.  Mr.  Cook 
will  start  in  his  new  position  as  soon  as 
a  new  man  arrives  to  take  the  place  he 
is  holding  now. 

A.  Grofvert  is  well  pleased  with  the 
business  done  and  states  that  Easter 
sales  were  far  ahead  of  last  year.  His 
carnations  are  in  the  pink  condition  and 
his  place  is  in  fine  shape  for  the  coming 
bedding  season.  H.  M. 


WHITEHALL,  MICH. 

Mrs.  Alexander  Dowie  and  her  son, 
Gladstone,  have  sold  their  greenhouses 
to  Miss  Susie  Wood,  who  has  removed 
them  from  the  Dowie  summer  home,  Ben 
McDhui,  to  her  farm  near  Shelby,  Mich., 
where  she  will  make  a  specialty  of  violet 
culture,  thus  adding  another  industry  to 
her  fruit  growing,  in  which  she  has 
been  successful.  Mrs.  Dowie,  in  place 
of  the  greenhouses,  is  planning  a  fine, 
large  conservatory. 

Trade  is  exceeding  highest  expectations 
in  this  part  of  the  state.  W.  E.  P. 


Roland  Park,  Md. — Arthur  Albrecht, 
Jr.,  says  the  demand  for  galax, 
leucothcB  and  other  greens  was  heavier 
than  ever  last  season  and  he  sold  out 
of  stock  much  quicker  than  he  had  ex- 
pected to.  He  plans  to  be  prepared 
for  a  larger  business  next  season.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review^ 


April  11,  1907. 


CINQNNATL 


Tfie  Market 


Business  is  slow,  as  it  always  is  just 
after  a  big  holiday,  and  there  has  been 
little  demand  for  anything  in  particu- 
lar. What  demand  there  is  is  on  the 
spasmodic  order.  Funeral  work  consti- 
tutes the  main  standby,  with  now  and 
then  a  wedding  of  not  large  degree. 
The  weather  has  been  fairly  favorable 
and  it  would  seem  that  before  long  busi- 
ness would  be  back  to  normal. 

Easter  lilies  are  with  us  now  in  large 
numbers  and  are  selling  slowly  and  at 
low  prices.  We  are  in  need  of  several 
good,  big  wedding  decorations  to  clear 
the  market  of  the  surplus.  Bulbous 
flowers  of  all  kinds  are  in  good  supply 
and  selling  slowly.  Koses  are  coming  in 
heavily  and  selling  at  job-lot  prices  in 
most  cases.  The  quality  of  the  stock 
is  fairly  good,  but  there  are  no  takers 
and  they  go  for  what  is  offered.  Carna- 
tions are  not  quite  so  plentiful  and  the 
price  on  the  better  grades  is  holding  out 
well.  The  only  flower  for  which  there  is 
an  active  demand  is  the  sweet  pea.  The 
pri'^.e  is  but  about  50  cents  per  hundred, 
but  at  that  they  sell  out  clean.  Ferns 
and  all  other  kinds  of  green  goods  are 
scarcely  more  than  equal  to  the  demand. 

Variotti  Notes. 

It  is  hoped  that  a  good  number  of  the 
members  of  the  Florists'  Society  will 
be  present  at  the  meeting  to  be  held 
Saturday  evening,  April  13.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  it  will  be  an  interesting 
meeting,  as  several  important  topics  will 
be  brought  up  for  discussion. 

Mr.  Fulle,  of  Richmond,  Ind.,  was  a 
risitor   last  week.  C.  J.  Ohmer. 


DAYTON,  OHIO. 


At  the  last  regular  meeting  of  the 
Dayton  Florists'  Club,  Thursday,  April 
4,  G.  W.  Bartholomew,  the  newly  elected 
president,  presided.  A  unanimous  vote 
of  thanks  was  tendered  the  retiring  pres- 
ident, J.  B.  Heiss,  for  the  untiring  serv- 
ices rendered  the  club.  It  was  voted 
that  the  Dayton  Florists'  Club  subscribe 
$150  to  the  guarantee  fund  of  the  na- 
tional flower  show. 

Easter  trade  was  reported  good.  It 
was  the  general  opinion  of  all  that  there 
was  a  marked  increase  in  the  demand 
for  blooming  plants.  There  was  an  ample 
supply  of  all  cut  flowers,  for  which  there 
was  a  healthy  demand. 


Crookston,  Minn. — J.  F.  Ilelter, 
proprietor  of  the  Queen  City  greenhouse, 
recently  had  a  narrow  escape  from 
drowning  in  Red  Lake  river. 

MABELLE 

new  PINK  CARNATION  rOR  1007 

Color — A  peculiar  shade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lighter  than  the  Law- 
■on.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the  brightest  sun  does  not 
injare  the  color.  Slee— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
established.  Odor  —  Pleasing,  but  not  strong. 
Sterna— Invariably  strong,  but  always  graceful,  rang- 
ing from  12  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Habit. 
etc.— A  very  quick,  active  grower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  On  ac- 
count of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  very 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  away  rapklly,  blooms  early 
and  gives  long  stems  ri^ht  from  the  start.  Prodact> 
iveneaa — Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
ase  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  atid 
late,  we  have  ever  grown.  Stock  limited.  No  discount. 
Price  112.00  per  100;  1100.00  per  1000.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


April  11,  1007, 


CLEVELAND. 


Easter  Trade. 

Eaater  is  something  of  an  old  story 
by  now,  but  it  still  may  be  worth  while 
recording  that  the  volume  of  trade  ex- 
ceeded all  previous  records  in  Cleveland. 
There  was  a  large  supply  of  stock,  both 
cut  flowers  and  plants,  so  that  prices 
were  reasonable  and  a  big  volume  of  busi- 
ness possible. 

Since  Easter  trade  has  been  only  fair, 
from  a  wholesale  point  of  view,  but  the 
retailers  appear  well  satisfied.  They  are 
doing  a  fair  amount  and  there  is  so 
much  stock  that  they  can  supply  their 
needs  at  moderate  prices  and  make  a 
good  profit. 

Undertakers'  Commissions. 

Friction  has  arisen  between  the  florists 
and  undertakers  over  the  prices  of 
flowers  used  at  funerals.  The  florists 
will  hold  a  meeting  this  week  with  a 
view  to  raising  the  price  or  cutting 
down  the  commission  now  received  by 
undertakers  for  orders  given  for  burial 
goods  in  the  floral  line. 

It  is  customary  for  many  undertakers 
to  take  a  burial  by  contract,  agreeing 
to  furnish  flowers,  cabs  and  all  other 
incidentals  needed.  They  give  the  or- 
ders for  flowers  to  their  favored  florists, 
who  in  turn  allow  the  undertaker  a 
commission  for  directing  business  their 
way.  With  the  general  advance  in  the 
price  of  everything  during  the  last  few 
years  the  same  prices  have  remained  for 
flowers,  though  funerals  cost  a  great  deal 
more  than  formerly.  The'  florists  agree 
that  they  should  share  in  the  general 
prosperity,  and  have  demanded  of  the 
undertakers  that  better  prices  prevail. 

The  undertakers  have  balked  and  the 
florists  threaten  to  cut  off  the  commis- 
sions altogether  and  let  purchasers  ar- 
range for  their  flowers  direct  instead  of 
through  the  undertakers. 


Louisville,  Ky. — One  of  the  local  shoe 
dealers  is  building  up  a  nice  little  trade 
in  wooden  shoes.  He  has  three  lots  sent 
to  him  from  Holland  each  year  and  sells 
them  to  the  German  gardeners  who  live 
near  Louisville.  They  find  them  of  great 
value  for  wear  when  working  in  their 
gardens.

Don't  pay  express  on  dirt;  it  is  not  worth  it. 

We  wash  oiT  all  soil  and  pack  in  moss,  prepay  express,  and  sell  you  strong  plants  for  about 
half  what  you  have  to  pay  for  pot  plants  and  then  you  have  to  pay  express  on  dirt. 

Don't  do  it.  but  send  to  us  for  a  trial  lot  and  we  know  that  you  will  come  back  for  more. 

We  sold  thousands  of  plants  last  year,  and  our  customers  all  tell  the  same  story,  "perfectly 
satisfied." 

We  are  the  most  extensive  growers  of  CANNAS  in  the  world  and  can  furnish  plants  of  most 
of  the  leading  varieties  and  scores  of  the  best  novelties.  We  offer  standard  kinds  at  $1.76  per  100 
and  up.    Novelties  at  $5.00  per  100  and  up. 

Write  for  list  or  send  us  $2.25  for  100  plants  as  samples,  20  each,  5  varieties,  good  named  sorts, 
express  paid.    If  you  send  $5.00,  will  send  you  ID  each,  10  choice  novelties,  worth  double  the  money. 

We  guarantee  satisfaction.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


April  11,  1907. 


PITTSBURG. 


The  Market. 


The  week  after  Easter  was  not  what 
was  expected  of  it  by  any  means.  Busi- 
ness has  not  been  good  in  a  retail  way; 
nothing  much  doing  except  forced  busi- 
ness. A  sign  reading  * '  Roses  25  cents 
and  50  cents  per  dozen"  in  the  window 
of  one  of  the  best  shops  in  the  city  tells 
its  own  tale. 

Eoses  are  abundant  and  selling  for 
almost  anything  that  is  offered  for  them. 
I  would  be  ashamed  to  mention  the 
prices  for  which  special  Beauties  have 
been  sold  all  the  week.  The  Greeks  have 
their  stands  buried  in  good  flowers  of 
all  kinds,  including  immense  bunches  of 
special  Beauties. 

Variouf  Notes. 

The  Florists'  Club  met  Tuesday  even- 
ing, April  2.  It  was  rose  night,  but  the 
only  exhibitor  in  this  line  was  the  Pitts- 
burg Eose  and  Carnation  Co.,  which  sent 
a  bunch  of  each  of  the  varieties  grown. 
They  were  a  creditable  lot  of  stock  and 
received  many  eompliinents.  Allegheny 
Park  showed  cinerarias  and  an  assort- 
ment of  blooming  plants  and  Schenley 
conservatories  showed  some  fine  hyacinth 
plants.  There  was  a  good  crowd  present 
and  an  enjoyable  and  profitable  evening 
was  spent.  A  number  of  persons  were 
appointed  to  talk  on  credits  at  the  next 
meeting.  As  this  is  quite  an  important 
part  of  the  business  and  has  never  been 
taken  up  by  the  club,  it  should  be  of 
especial  interest  to  all  the  commercial 
members. 

Uncle  John  Wyland,  while  out  driving 
in  his  buggy  Saturday  night,  April  6, 
mixed  it  up  with  an  automobile,  the  re- 
sult being  that  Mr,  Wyland  was  badly 
shaken  up  and  the  horse  seriously  in- 
jured. The  auto  was  put  out  of  com- 
mission. 

James  Wyland  has  the  sympathy  of 
his  many  friends  in  the  trade  in  the  loss 
of  his  wife,  who  died  Monday,  April  8, 
leaving  one  child. 

Randolph  &  McClements  are  busy 
moving  into  their  new  store,  having  sold 
the  old  property  some  time  ago.

The  Market 


Again  we  are  in  the  clutches  of  win- 
ter. April  fooled  everyone,  with  hail, 
snow  and  rains.  Business  has  been  ;i 
little  quiet,  although  funeral  work  holds 
up.  Little  bulbous  stock  was  left  over 
from  last  week.  However,  many  spiraeas 
were  carried  over  and  there  are  lilies, 
roses  and  carnations  enough  to  meet  the 
demand.  Violets  manage  to  hold  their 
own  in  supply.  The  street  boys  get  all 
the  stock  they  want,  even  fancy  Beau- 
ties.

The  Market 


With  the  exception  of  considerable 
funeral  work,  things  have  been  rather 
quiet  for  the  last  week.  But  perusal  ol 
the  society  notes  indicates  that  soon  our 
little  friend,  Cupid,  will  get  in  his  work, 
and  incidentally  make  work  for  thr 
florist. 

As  in  other  localities,  roses  are  quite 
plentiful,  the  beat  price  being  $6  pei 
hundred.  The  stock  is  good.  White  car- 
nations are  scarce .  but  colored  stock  i^ 
plentiful,  despite  the  fact  that  the  bull- 
of  the  crop  came  in  just  before  Easter 
causing  many  growers  to  be  off  crop  a* 
present.  Thousands  of  Enchantress, 
mostly  from  one  grower,  are  going  to 
waste  owing  to  their  inclination  toward 
sleepiness. 

Bulbous  stock  is  coming  to  an  end.   H

Qttb  Meeting. 

yo  well  attended  have  the  meetings  of 
the  Detroit  Florists'  Club  been  lately 
that  it  was  found  necessary  to  add  a 
dozen  chairs  to  the  seating  capacity. 
j-'ally  half  the  members  were  present  at 
the  meeting  April  3.  D.  S.  Kimball  was 
elected  to  membership. 

j{.  W.  Unger  read  an  interesting  paper 
on  ' '  Plant  Bedding  and  Bedding  Stock, ' ' 
and  answered  a  number  of  questions  put 
to  him  by  the  members. 

]S'ext  on  the  program  was  J.  F.  Sulli- 
vau  with  a  paper  on  '  *  The  Benefits  of  a 
Florists'  Club."  As  usual,  he  offered 
many  valuable  suggestions  on  club  man- 
agement. 

Quite  a  lengthy  discussion  of  Easter 
trade  followed.  The  growers  seemed  well 
pleased  with  the  results.  The  retailers 
all  joined  in  proclaiming  this  a  banner 
Easter.  Several  said  that  15  cents  per 
bud  is  too  much  for  any  but  extra  fancy 
lilies. 

The  opening  of  the  question  box 
brought  forth  the  query:  ''Why  not 
get  $8  per  hundred  for  geraniums,  whole- 
sale?" It  was  decided  that,  although 
strong  plants  are  easily  worth  $8  per 
hundred,  the  public  will  not  pay  more 
than  $1  per  dozen,  retail,  as  long  as 
they  can  get  them  on  the  market  for 
that.  There  was  a  prolonged  discus- 
sion, but  no  solution  was  possible. 

James  Taylor  has  promised  to  read  a 
paper  on  the  evening  of  July  3. 

Various  Note*. 

Ed  Phillips,  for  many  years  with 
Beard  Bros.,  has  opened  a  saloon. 

For  the  first  time  in  about  twenty 
years  B.  Schroeter  has  had  to  take  to 
his  bed  on  account  of  illness.  He  sut- 
fered  a  severe  cold  during  the  Easter 
rush  which  kept  him  home  for  a  week, 

J.  F.  Sullivan  was  laid  up  for  several 
(lays  following  Easter. 

E.  A.  Scribner  says  that  the  money 
taken  in  during  the  holidays  does  not 
pay  for  all  the  trouble  and  worry. 

George  Reynolds,  for  many  years  gar- 
tlener  at  W.  C.  McMillan's  place  in 
lirosse  Pointe,  has  engaged  in  the  tree 
!<l)raying  business. 

William  Brown  was  fortunate  in  not 
having  to  engage  much  outside  help  last 
week.  This  keeps  some  of  the  profits 
ill  the  family.  Business  was  exceedingly 
i,'ood.  Being  on  the  main  street,  many 
tliousands  of  violets  were  sold. 

A.  B.  Lewis,  of  Pontiac,  is  highly 
'lated  over  Easter.  Mr.  Lewis  is  prob- 
'il)ly  the  only  florist  in  this  vicinity  who 
iiolds  rhododendron  over  for  a  second 
yoar.  He  claims  he  gets  a  larger  num- 
l»er  of  blooms  than  on  the  newly  import- 
ed stock. 

Albert  Stahelin  is  one  of  the  wise

BOILER  INSPECTION  LAW. 

Referring  to  the  discussion  as  to  the 
proposed  Massachusetts  law  for  the  in- 
spection of  boilers,  I  attended  the  re- 
cent meeting  at  the  State  House,  when 
a  committee  of  greenhouse  owners  voiced 
their  protest  at  being  made  subject  to 
the  law,  and  as  far  as  I  could  learn  the 
whole  unfortunate  matter  simply  is  a 
dispute  between  the  engineers  and 
boiler-makers,  as  to  who  should  have  the 
right  of  inspecting  the  boilers  in  the 
state.  After  an  experience  of  fourteen 
years  throughout  the  United  States  erect- 
ing greenhouse  boilers,  I  would  say  that 
the  skilled  mechanic  should  have  the 
preference  over  all  others. 

I  have  set  up  hundreds  of  boilers  in 
greenhouses,  among  them  tubular  boil- 
ers that  the  Hartford  Insurance  Co.  had 
cut  the  pressure  on.  They  have  been  run- 
ning under  a  pressure  from  fifteen  to 
thirty  pounds  for  ten  years  or  more  and 
I  find  the  plate  in  the  boiler  just  as  good 
today  as  when  it  left  the  shops. 

In  regard  to  licensed  firemen,  I  would 
rather  have  a  good,  upright  and  honest 
greenhouse  man  who  has  had  experience 
with  fires,  than  a  number  of  the  licensed 
firemen  of  today,  for  a  case  came  under 
my  notice  where  a  licensed  fireman  was 
the  cause  of  almost  freezing  an  entire 
greenhouse.  Daniel  Iliffe. 

HOT  WATER  BOILERS. 

During  my  experience  in  greenhouse 
heating  I  have  set  up  a  great  many  dif- 
ferent styles  of  boilers,  among  them 
horizontal  tubular  boilers,  upright  tubu- 
lar, locknut-nipple,  push-nipple  and  port- 
able upright  cast-iron  boilers. 

The  tubular  boiler  makes  a  good  boiler 
for  heating  purposes,  when  properly 
taken  care  of.  All  the  water  should  be 
run  off  and  the  boiler  thoroughly  cleaned 
once  a  year,  when  the  boiler  and  system 
should  be  refilled  and  left  so  until  it  is 
required  for  use  again.  All  boilers 
should  be  properly  valved  on  supply  and 
return. 

The  cast-iron  boiler  should  be  blown 
off  by  steam,  so  as  to  clean  out  the 
boiler  thoroughly.  A  great  many  boil- 
ers are  found  fault  with  as  not  giving 
satisfactory  results,  but  if  you  look  into 
the  manner  in  which  these  boilers  are 
run  you  will  find  the  fault  is  not  with 
the  boiler  in  a  great  many  cases,  but 
with  the  one  who  has  charge  of  the 
boiler. 

In  regard  to  push-nipple  boilers,  I 
would  say  they  are  just  as  good  for 
heating  purposes  as  any  cast-iron  boiler, 
but  they  are  not  quite  so  safe  as  the 
locknut-nipple  boiler.  If  any  part  of  a 
push-nipple  boiler  needs  repairing  you 
have  to  take  the  whole  boiler  apart, 
whereas  with  the  locknut-nipple  boiler, 
if  a  part  or  section  gives  out,  you  can 
take  a  three-wheel  pipe-cutter  and  cut 
the  connection  to  the  damaged  section, 
plug  up  same  and  your  boiler  is  ready 
for  work  again. 

All  hot  water  boilers  should  be  thor- 
oughly cleaned  every  other  year.  A 
good  way  to  do  this  would  be  to  close 
the  main  supply  and  return  valves  to 
the"  boiler,  put  on  a  water  gauge  so 
placed  that  the  gauge  cock  will  show 
water  in  the  boiler  when  it  reaches  to 
within  three  inches  of  the  top;  also 
have    a   steam    gauge    attached    to    the

SALEM,  V  A. 

Easter  trade  was  good,  almost  any- 
thing in  the  shape  of  a  flower  command- 
ing a  price  on  Saturday.  Eoses  were 
good  and  not  overplentiful.  Carnations, 
owing  to  the  warm  weather  preceding 
Easter,  had  slightly  deteriorated  in  qual- 
ity but  they  were  better  than  most  of 
the  stock  imported  from  the  north,  which 
had  evidently  been  in  steep  for  a  con- 
siderable time.  There  were  many  com- 
plaints on  this  score,  both  in  Salem  and 
in  Eoanoke.  Violets  were  plentiful  but 
poor.  Lilies  were  scarce.  Prices  were 
a  little  in  advance  of  last  season.  Pot- 
ted plants,  such  as  cyclamens,  cinerarias, 
spirapas,  etc.,  were  in  great  demand  and 
seemed  to  be  wanted  even  more  than 
cut  blooms.  Both  growers  and  retailers 
seem  to  be  satisfied  with  the  amount  of 
trade  done.  R.

M.  Bloy,  of  the  Gasser  Co.,  Eocky

and  he  who  managed  to  get  his  stock  in 
at  Easter  deserves  a  medal.  Immense

NEW  ORLEANS, 

Easter  business  is  not  generally  re- 
ported as  having  been  especially  brisk 
this  year.  In  New  Orleans  it  has  not 
been  an  occasion  for  the  grand  display 
of  plants  and  flowers  which  takes  place 
at  that  time  in  the  north.  Moreover, 
this  winter  has  been  so  mild  that  peo- 
ple did  not  really  know  when  spring  was 
opening,  as  we  had  flowers,  chiefly  roses, 
all  the  last  month.  Still,  on  that  day 
some  customers  want  something  extra 
and  are  willing  to  pay  for  extra  fine 
lilies,  extra  carnations  and  the  like. 
From  what  Charles  Eble  says,  business 
would  have  fceen  better  if  the  flowers 
received  from  the  north  had  been  in  bet- 
ter condition. 

M.  Cook  &  Sons  have  not  so  many 
complaints  about  the  stock  they  have 
received  from  the  north,  but  they  say 
also  that  business  was  under  that  of  last 
year. 

Joseph  Schindler  &  Co.,  not  having 
been  in  the  location  they  are  now  occu- 
pying on  Canal  street,  could  not  give 
any  comparison  with  other  years.  E. 
Eichling  left  them  April  1.      M.  M.  L.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


Apbil  11,  1007. 


DENVER. 

The  Market 

For  the  whole  week  previous  to  Eas- 
ter the  weather  was  exceptionally  fine, 
which  was  much  appreciated;  not  a 
plant  had  to  be  wrapped.  Church  deco- 
rations were  up  to  the  usual  standard, 
some  perhaps  better  than  last  year. 

Eeports  on  Easter  business  run  from 
ten  per  cent  to  thirty  per  cent  better 
than  last  year.  It  was  more  of  a  plant 
Easter  than  ever  before  and  all  kinds 
of  blooming  plants  sold  well,  the  popular 
prices  being  $1  to  $2  per  plant  for  Eas- 
ter lilies  and  $1  to  $5  on  other  plants. 
There  was  a  good  supply  of  the  more 
expensive  plants.  Azaleas  were  in  fine 
condition  and  sold  well  at  prices  rang- 
ing from  $3  to  $10.  White  azaleas, 
while  not  numerous,  appeared  to  be  a 
drug  on  the  market,  but  Vander  Cruys- 
sen  sold  well.  Hydrangeas  retailed 
freely  at  from  $5  to  $15.  Bulb  stock 
was  much  in  demand  and  more  could 
have  been  sold.  Particularly  fine  sellers 
noticed  by  the  Park  Floral  Co.  were  the 
Rose  Falcon  and  Eose  Luisante  tulips. 

In  the  way  of  cut  flowers  there  ap- 
peared to  be  enough  to  satisfy  the  de- 
mand, with  prices  good.  There  was  no 
shortage. 

Since  Easter  stock  has  come  in  plen- 
tifully, roses  more  so  than  carnations, 
and  all  of  good  quality.  Beauties  of 
all  grades  are  plentiful  and  business  has 
been  fairly  good  since  Easter.  All  the 
growers,  as  well  as  the  retailers,  seemed 
to  be  perfectly  satisfied  with  the  busi- 
ness done  and  March  was  undoubtedly 
one  of  the  best  months  in  some  time. 

E.  S.  El. 

TAUNTON,  MASS. 

Taunton  Greenhouses  report  Easter 
trade  as  the  best  they  ever  had.  They 
had  several  houses  of  fine  Easter  lilies, 
which  came  in  just  right.  Many  of  these 
they  shipped  away  in  carload  lots  per 
electrics,  right  from  their  door,  and 
cleaned  up  finely.  All  other  blooming 
plants  sold  well.  Local  retail  trade  was 
double  that  of  any  preceding  season,  the 
call  being  principally  for  pot  plants.  In 
cut  flowers,  violets  easily  led.  Carna- 
tions at  $1  to  $1.50  per  dozen  proved  too 
high  and  moved  slowly.  There  was  only 
a  moderate  call  for  any  other  cut  flow- 
ers. Trade  before  and  since  Easter  was 
very  good  and  Memorial  day  trade  is 
expected  to  break  all  records.    W.  N.  C.

PEOPLE  who  know  a  good  thiDg  when  they  see  it,  and  will  take  advantage 
of  the  same,  must  be  possessed  with  good  judgment  and  are  generally  sue- 
cessful.    One  of  our  successful  growers  has  this  year  taken  out  6ooo  feet  of 
wooden  gutters,  which  were  only  5  years  old,  and  replaced  the  same  with  6000  feet 
of  the  GARLAND  IRON  GUTTER,  this  being  his  fifth  annual  order. 

Our  long  list  of  orders  of  this  kind  is  our  best  reference.    By  writing  any  of 
the  large  growers  at  Chicago  you  will  confer  a  favor  on  the

liejH/rts  on  J'lastor  husiness  run  from 
ten  ]ier  i-eiit  to  thirlv  por  rent  beltei' 
than  last  year.  It  was  more  of  a  phint 
Faster  than  vwv  lieldrc  and  all  kinds 
of  bloomiiiy  jilanls  sold  well,  the  [lopular 
prices  liciii;,'  .>•  1  to  .+1'  jicr  jihinl  tor  Mas- 
ter lilies  and  +1  to  .+."1  nn  dtlicr  [ilants. 
There  was  a  ;^(iod  supjily  dl'  the  more 
expcnsjxc  jilanls.  Azaleas  were  in  line 
condition  and  sold  well  at  prices  I'aufi-

while  iKit  numenms.  a|i|ieared  to  he  a

tri'cly  at  frnm  -io  to  .tlo.  J5ulb  stock 
was  much  in  demand  and  more  eould 
have  been  sold.  Particularly  line  sellers 
noticed  by  the  Park  Floral  ( 'o.  were  the 
Kose  Falcon  and  Kose  Fuisante  tuliiis. 

In  the  way  of  cut  flowers  there  ap- 
peared to  be  enough  to  satisfy  the  de- 
mand, with  prices  good.  Theic  was  no 
shortage. 

Since  Faster  stock  has  come  in  jilen- 
tifully,  roses  more  so  than  carnations, 
and  all  of  good  quality.  ]>eauties  of 
all  grade>*  are  jilentiful  and  business  has 
been  fairly  good  since  Paster.  All  the 
growers,  as  well  as  the  retailers,  seemed 
to  be  jierfectly  satislied  with  the  busi- 
ness d(nie  and  ]\Iarcli  was  nndoubtedly 
one  of  the  best  months  in  some  time.

TAUNTON,  MASS. 

Taunton  Greenhouses  report  Easter 
trade  as  the  best  they  ever  had.  They 
had  several  houses  of  fine  Easter  lilies, 
which  came  in  just  right.  Many  of  these 
they  shipped  away  in  carload  lots  per 
electrics,  right  from  their  door,  and 
cleaned  up  finely.  All  other  blooming 
plants  sold  well.  Local  retail  trade  was 
double  that  of  any  ]ireceding  season,  the 
call  being  princijially  for  pot  plants.  In 
cut  flowers,  violets  easily  led.  Carna- 
tions at  $]  to  $].~)0  per  dozen  proved  too 
high  and  moved  slowly.  There  Avas  only 
a  moderate  call  for  any  other  cut  flow- 
ers. Trade  Ijefore  and  since  Easter  was 
very  good  and  ^Memorial  day  trade  is 
expected  to  break  all  records.    W.  N.  C.

HERE'S  AN  OPEN  LETTER 
THAT  SPEAKS  FOR  ITSELF. 

Gentlemen:  I  am  glad  to  state  that  all  the  material  we  bought 
of  you  has  been  strictly  first-class,  in  fact  I  have  never  seen  better 
cypress,  perfectly  free  of  all  sap  or  defects.  Everything  was  cut  to  fit 
perfectly  and  so  carefully  packed  that  not  one  piece  was  broken  in 
transit.  Your  promptness  in  turning  out  material  and  the  way  you 
do  business  is  worth  a  good  many  dollars  to  any  florist— I  know  by 
experience,  as  some  firms  don't  seem  to  care  after  they  have  your 
order.     I  will  always  call  on  you  for  my  material.

THE  NUMBER  OF  POSTS 
IN  THE  IRON  FRAME  HOUSE 

Take  for  instance  a  40-foot  house — two  small  wrought  steel  posts — one  to  a  rafter 
on  either  side,  does  the  whole  thing.  Think  of  the  strength  of  a  construction  that 
permits  such  a  reduction  in  supports — think  of  how  it  figures  with  shade — the 
convenience  it  means  in  working  the  benches.

Pandanus. 

Any  florist  possessing  a  moderately 
.varra  house  will  find  the  variegated  Pan- 
'lanus  Veitchii  and  the  newer  Sanderse 
-xcellent  sellers.  They  are  of  easy  cul- 
'ivation  and  propagate  readily  from 
Flickers  or  side  shoots,  which,  when  placed 
in  a  good  bottom  heat,  are  not  long  in 
rooting.  We  consider  P.  Veitchii  prob- 
ably the  best  variegated  foliage  plant 
for  pot  culture.  P.  Sanderae,  while  dis- 
tinct, is  less  beautiful,  the  pure  white 
and  green  of  the  former  variety  making 
it  almost  everyone's  favorite. 

For  propagating  purposes  a  mixture 
of  sand  and  moss  will  be  found  even  bet- 
ter than  one  of  pure  sand.  Potted  off  as 
soon  as  rooted  and  grown  along  in  a 
warm  house  or  a  frame  in  summer,  these 
soon  make  salable  plants.  A  compost  of 
turfy  loam,  lumpy  charcoal  and  well 
dried  cow  manure,  with  a  good  dash  of 
sharp  sand,  makes  a  suitable  potting 
medium.  Any  old  plants  of  pandanus 
may  be  planted  out  to  good  purpose  in 
suotropical  beds  and  will  furnish  a  fine 
lot  of  suckers  for  propagation  by  fall. 
For  growing  in  the  dwelling  house,  the 
pandanus  has  few  superiors.  In  winter 
it  should  be  kept  rather  on  the  dry  side. 

Ficui. 

Ficus  elastica,  better  known  as  rubber 
plant,  never  seems  to  lose  its  popularity 
as  a  house  plant.  With  Boston  ferns,  it 
stands  in  the  first  rank.  Florists  find  a 
perennial  demand  for  these  plants  and 
large  numbers  are  annually  imported 
from  Belgium.  Propagation  is  not  at  all 
difficult  and  if  a  few  old,  bushy  plants 
are  at  command  it  is  really  surprising 
what  a  batch  can  be  worked  up.  A 
couple  of  years  ago  we  rooted  sixty  plants 
from  one  of  these  old,  cut-back  speci- 
mens and  even  then  the  plant  broke  back 
freely  and  looked  quite  presentable  by 
fall. 

While  early  winter  is  an  excellent  time 
to  put  in  cuttings,  they  may  still  be 
rooted  in  a  warm,  rather  close  and 
shaded  house.  We  prefer  sand  and  moss 
for  propagation  and  tie  up  the  leaves  so 
that  the  cuttings  take  up  less  space. 
Water  the  cuttings  twice  a  uay,  never 
allow  sun  to  fall  on  them,  and  a  large 
percentage  will  root. 

Another  method  of  propagation  entail- 
ing rather  more  labor  is  the  ' '  ringing ' ' 
plan,  which  consists  of  making  a  cut  or 
incision  about  two  inches  long  midway 
between  two  eyes.  The  cut  should  be 
slanting  and  go  half  through  the  stem 
of  the  shoot.  Drop  some  powdered  char- 
coal in  the  cut  to  prevent  bleeding.  A 
small  wedge,  the  thickness  of  a  match, 
is  needed  to  keep  the  cut  open.  A  fair 
sized  handful  of  moss  must  then  be  tied 
around  the  cut  with  raffia  and  frequently 
moistened;  in  fact,  it  must  never  be  al- 
lowed to  get  dry.  In  a  close,  moist  at- 
mosphere, with  a  night  temperature  of 
65  degrees,  the  roots  will  not  be  long  in 
appearing  and,  when  they  are  seen  push- 
ing through  the  moss,  the  tops  can  be 
cut  off,  placed  in  as  small  pots  as  pos- 


sible, kept  frequently  syringed  until  es- 
tablished and  potted  on  as  they  require  it. 
Crotons,  dracsenas  and  dieffenbachias 
may  all  be  rooted  by  the  mossing  process 
and  much  finer  plants  can  be  had  by  this 
method  than  by  rooting  them  in  sand. 
We  frequently  see  beautiful  crotons  in 
small  pots  at  the  exhibitions  and  wonder 
how  such  specimens  can  be  produced  in 
such  tiny  receptacles.  These  plants  are 
usually  rooted  by  the  mossing  plan. 

Stevias. 

Often  in  the  rush  of  other  spring 
operations  that  useful  little  plant,  the 
stevia,  is  neglected  or  forgotten.  If  cut- 
tings were  put  in  a  month  ago  they 
should  now  be  in  2 1/^ -inch  pots,  nicely 
rooted,  and  ought  to  have  been  pinched 
once  to  keep  them  bushy.  It  is  not  yet 
too  late  to  insert  a  batch  of  cuttings. 
They  root  quickly  and  would  be  nice, 
stocky  little  plants  in  four  or  five  weeks. 
The  general  plan  is  to  plant  out  stevias 
as  soon  as  danger  from  frost  is  gone, 
and  pot  them  up  early  in  September.  A 
much  better  plan  is  to  grow  them  in  pots 
or  boxes  all  the  time.    When  planted  out 


ters.  Pinch  out  the  tops  to  keep  them 
bushy.  Old  plants  which  were  probably 
placed  under  the  benches  to  make  room 
for  other  stock  should  be  cut  back  hard, 
potted  up  into  as  small  pots  as  they 
conveniently  Can  be  squeezed  into  and 
started  into  growth.  If  you  find  they  are 
loaded  with  bug,  either  destroy  the  plants 
or  clean  out  the  bug  with  a  strong  nico- 
tine solution. 

Gtlceolarias. 

What  are  commonly  called  herbaceous 
calceolarias  are  useful  for  florists  having 
a  good  retail  call  for  plants.  They  need 
cool  treatment  at  all  times  and  are  very 
impatient  of  heat.  As  they  bloom  dur- 
ing May,  they  should  now  be  in  their 
flowering  pots.  Private  gardeners  grow 
immense  specimens  of  these  in  10-inch  to 
12-inch  pots,  which,  when  staked  out,  are 
three  to  four  feet  in  diameter,  but  these 
are  beyond  the  limits  of  the  commercial 
florist.  Nice  stock  can  be  had  in  6-inch 
to  8-inch  pots,  which,  carefully  staked 
before  the  stems  get  bent  or  broken,  will 
make  a  fine  show.  These  plants  seem  to 
be  headquarters  for  green  aphis  and 
should  have  tobacco  stems  placed  among 
them  and  in  addition  receive  weekly 
fumigations.  Their  large,  showy,  self-col- 
ored or  spotted  flowers  are  very  attract- 
ive. If  preferred,  the  plants  can  be  eas- 
ily held  back  for  Memorial  day,  when 
the  flowers  themselves  will  be  found  val- 
uable, even  if  the  plants  are  unsold. 

Calceolaria  rugosa  varieties.  Golden 
Edge  and  Prince  of  Orange,  which  are 
popular  bedding  sorts  in  Europe,  are  of 
little  value  for  that  purpose  here,  owing 


Floriculture  in  North  Guolioa*

they  grow  luxuriantly,  but,  unless 
pinched  and  otherwise  cared  for,  they 
will  break  badly  with  high  winds.  In 
8-inch  pots  they  will  make  beautiful 
plants,  or,  if  you  prefer  it,  place  several 
in  a  deep  flat  and  keep  in  the  open,  where 
you  can  readily  reach  them  with  the 
hose.  This  little  plant  is  invaluable  at 
Christmas  and,  indeed,  may  be  had  over 
a  long  period  by  holding  in  a  cold  house. 

Bouvardias. 

Bouvardias  are  less  grown  than  for- 
merly, but,  nevertheless,  are  very  useful 
in  winter.  Cuttings  from  pieces  of  roots 
or  soft  shoots  ought  to  be  well  rooted 
and  potted  off  by  this  time.  They  can- 
not be  planted  out  with  safety  before 
the  end  of  May,  but  can  be  gradually 
hardened  by  placing  them  in  cooler  quar- 


to our  hot  summers.  For  pot  culture, 
however,  they  are  excellent  and  as  they 
have  much  tougher  stems  than  the  her- 
baceous class,  are  of  special  value  for 
bunching  for  Memorial  day  trade.  These 
are  propagated  by  cuttings  which  should 
be  inserted  in  September  or  October  and 
can  be  flowered  in  6-inch  or  7-inch  pots, 
making  bushy  specimens.  They  need  cool 
treatment  all  the  time,  but  will  endure 
more  sun  than  the  herbaceous  class.  They 
are  also  freer  from  aphis  attacks. 

Brief  Reminders. 

Seedlings  of  Primula  obconica  should 
now  be  pricked  off  in  pans  or  flats.  Give 
them  a  moderately  warm  house  and  shade 
from  bright  sun. 

Fuchsias  need  a  cool,  airy  house  and 
full  sunshine.     Keep  them  pinched   and

pick  oflf  all  flowers.  Give  them  a  shift 
before  they  become  potbound. 

If  your  seedlings  of  Asparagus  plumo- 
sus  nanus  and  smilax  are  of  suflicient 
size,  pot  off  without  delay. 

Keep  at  the  seedlings  and  prick  them 
off  as  fast  as  they  are  of  sufficient  size 
to  handle.  If  allowed  to  become  crowded 
and  drawn  they  will  be  of  little  value. 

An  additional  sowing  of  asters  can 
now  be  made.  Victoria,  Comet  and  Queen 
of  Earlies  are  all  good  sorts. 

If  you  have  any  left-over  rambler 
roses,  cut  out  all  the  old  flowering  wood 
and  give  the  plants  a  chance  to  make 
new  shoots  from  the  bottom. 

Be  sure  you  do  not  allow  zonal  gera- 
niums to  dry  out  badly  at  the  root  or 
they  will  soon  show  the  effects  of  it. 
Give  yellow-looking  plants  a  weak  dose 


of  nitrate  of  soda  to  color  them  up.  Do 
not,  however,  persist  in  its  use,  as  it 
causes  too  rank  foliage  at  expense  of 
flowers. 

Fall  potted  bulbs  of  auratum  and 
speciosum  lilies  will  now  have  pushed 
up  young  shoots.  Give  them  a  cool, 
light,  airy  house.  Don't  force  them,  as 
they  resent  it. 

It  is  six  weeks  to  Memorial  day.  Look 
out  for  the  lilies,  spiraeas,  hydrangeas, 
candytuft,  feverfew,  marguerites  and 
other  crops  coming  along.  Push  those 
which  may  seem  a  little  backward  and 
retard  those  which  are  early. 

If  you  have  any  late  tulips  and  nar- 
cissi in  flats  and  can  hold  them  back  in 
a  cold  pit  for  Memorial  day  they  will 
bring  better  money  than  you  could  pos- 
sibly obtain  now. 


THE  ENGLISH  CARNATION  SHOW. 

As  reported  in  a  recent  issue,  the  Win- 
ter-Flowering Carnation  Society  in  Eng- 
land held  its  second  annual  exhibition 
March  13  at  Regent's  park,  London.  It 
was  a  very  successful  affair,  although  not 
of  great  extent  as  compared  with  the 
exhibitions  of  carnations  often  seen  on 
this  side  of  the  Atlantic.  The  accom- 
panying illustration  is  reproduced  from 
a  photograph  of  the  largest  exhibit  in 
the  show  and  will  serve  to  give  American 
grow'ers  an  idea  of  the  character  of  the 
English  exhibition.  There  are  some 
twenty-five  varieties  in  this  display,  which 
was  staged  by  Hugh  Low  &  Co.,  said  to 
be  the  largest  growers  of  carnations  in 
England.  They  have  several  large 
houses  devoted  to  carnations  and  grow 
practically  all  the  American  varieties.  It 
will  be  noted  that  they  staged  not  only 
cut  blooms,  but  growing  plants  in  pots. 
The  attendance  at  the  exhibition  was 
large.     The   visitors    seemed   thoroughly 


interested  and  the  exhibitors  did  a  large 
business  in  booking  orders.  The  two 
British  novelties,  Mrs.  Burnett  and  Bri- 
tannia, sold  better  than  the  new  Ameri- 
can sorts.  This  was  doubtless  at  least  in 
part  due  to  the  fact  that  several  exhib- 
itors showed  these  varieties  in  first-class 
style  and  the  new  American  sorts  were 
not  in  flower,  although  young  plants  of 
Beacon,  Winsor  and  others  were  shown. 


STIGMONOSE. 


I  enclose  a  few  leaves  from  my  carna- 
tion plants;  the  youog  stock.  Can  you 
tell  me  the  trouble  and  what  causes  the 
spots?  They  are  making  a  vigorous 
growth.  I  thought  perhaps  it  might  be 
aphis,  as  there  have  been  a  few  on  them. 
I  am  also  having  trouble  with  aster 
seedlings;  also  some  other  seedlings,  in- 
cluding cabbage,  tomatoes,  cauliflower 
and  smilax.  There  is  something  that  at- 
tacks them  apparently  under  the  surface 
of  the  soil.  I  have  examined  some  and 
it  seems  to  start  with  the  top  root  and 
proceed  upward  to  the  surface.     The  lit- 


tle plants  wither  up  until  they  fall  over 
It  seems  to  attack  them  soon  after  thev

it  was  a  fungus,  but  it  seems  to  be  a 
dry  rot.  I  was  careful  in  watering  tho 
seeds.  The  flats  were  set  in  a  sunny 
place.  What  shall  I  do  to  check  tli,' 
thing?  I  have  been  using  air-slakol

Your  carnations  are  suffering  from  ;i 
disease  which  was  formerly  known  a; 
bacteriosis,  but  which  is  now  calleu 
stigmonose.  This  is  caused  by  th. 
punctures  made  by  insects,  such  as  aphi« 
thrips  or  red  spiders,  etc.  The  lighv 
spots  you  see  are  destroyed  leaf  cells  an^' 
you  cannot  change  them  by  any  externa) 
applications.  In  fact,  I  have  heard  ot 
no  remedy  for  destroying  the  poisoi, 
which  is  left  by  the  insect  after  with- 
drawing its  proboscis,  and  the  only  way 
I  know  of  to  get  rid  of  the  disease  is  by 
selection  of  cuttings. 

When  propagating,  look  over  your 
plants  carefully  and  take  only  cuttings 
which  do  not  show  any  of  these  light 
spots.  The  next  season  you  will  see  less 
of  it,  though  you  will  hardly  get  rid  of 
it  in  one  season.  In  fact,  if  you  work  it 
out  in  three  seasons  you  will  be  doing 
well.  Frequently  the  cuttings  will  de- 
velop these  spots  in  the  sand,  even  when 
none  showed  at  the  time  they  were  taken 
from  the  plants.  If  potted  up  and 
handled  carefully,  they  will  apparently 
outgrow  it  during  the  summer,  but  the 
next  winter  it  reappears  and  selection 
must  be  practiced  again  and  again,  until 
it  disappears  entirely.  All  this  time 
great  care  must  be  taken  to  keep  off  all 
insects   to  prevent   fresh   inoculation. 

Varieties  that  show  a  tendency  toward 
this  disease  should  be  propagated  as  late 
as  is  possible,  in  order  to  get  the  more 
vigorous  cuttings  towards  spring,  when 
the  disease  begins  to  disappear.  The  less 
spots  the  cuttings  show,  the  better  are 
your  chances  for  clean  stock  for  the  next 
season,  though,  as  I  said  before,  the  spots 
frequently  appear  later  on.  The  poison 
seems  to  run  all  through  the  plant  and 
shows  itself  at  any  severe  check  to  the 
plant,  especially  when  the  sunlight  is 
weak. 

At  first  it  was  supposed  that  each  spot 
was  caused  by  a  puncture  and  that  when 
these  spots  appeared  it  signified  the  pres-

ence  of  insects,  in  whatever  degree  the 
spots  appeared.  Close  observation,  how- 
ever, convinced  me  that  such  was  not 
the  case  and  for  a  time  caused  me  to 
doubt  the  whole  stigmonose  theory.  We 
have  seen  many  instances  where  a  whole 
bench  of  certain  varieties  would  become 
80  full  of  these  spots  as  to  make  the 
plants  look  yellow,  when  at  the  same 
time  the  grower  would  be  positive  that 
there  had  never  been  enough  insects 
present  to  produce  one-tenth  of  the  spots. 
This  has  led  to  the  conclusion  that  the 
disease  is  first  started  by  tne  punctures 
of  insects  and  that  the  poison  remains  in 
the  plant,  even  though  it  may  ap- 
parently outgrow  it,  only  to  reappear  at 
any  time  conditions  are  unfavorable  to 
the  plant,  such  as  dark  weather,  over- 
watering,  overfeeding,  severe  starving, 
etc. 

By  promoting  a  strong,  sturdy  growth 
and  avoiding  everything  that  would  have 
a  tendency  to  soften  the  growth  or  check 
it,  you  can  help  the  plant  to  overcome  it 
and  in  time  become  entirely  free  from 
it.  It  is  said  that  plants  are  seldom  en- 
tirely free  from  insects,  even  though  you 
may  not  discover  any  when  examining 
with  the  naked  eye,  and  therefore  here 
and  there  a  plant  may  become  punctured 
and  inoculated  when  you  thought  them 
entirely  clean.  This  shows  how  im- 
portant it  is  to  apply  your  insect  de- 
stroyers as  preventives  rather  than  as 
cures.  Don't  wait  until  insects  become 
numerous  enough  to  be  seen  in  passing 
along,  but  destroy  them  before  they  are 
old  enough  to  puncture  the  leaves.  The 
old  saying  that  an  ounce  of  prevention  is 
worth  a  pound  of  cure  certainly  applies 
in  this  case. 

Your  aster  seedlings  are  no  doubt  suf- 
fering from  the  common  aster  blight, 
which  does  such  great  damage  in  the 
field.  I  wish  I  knew  what  causes  it 
and  what  will  cure  it,  but  up  to  date  I' 
have  heard  of  no  cure  after  it  gets  a 
fair  start.  The  best  cure  is  under  the 
boiler.  Get  rid  of  them  and  make  a 
fresh    sowing.      Do    not    plant    asters    on 


the  same  soil  where  they  were  the  year 
before  if  there  was  any  sign  of  this 
disease,  else  you  will  have  trouble.

INDOOR  WINDOW-BOXES. 

One  of  the  distinct  features  of  the 
American  flower  market,  as  far  as  the 
disposal  of  the  rank  and  file  of  flower- 
ing pot  plants  is  concerned,  is  its  out- 
spoken dependency  on  seasons;  that  is, 
the  concentration  of  business  on  Christ- 
mas, Easter  and  Decoration  day.  Con- 
ditions as  to  Christmas  and  Easter  are 
similar  in  other  countries,  but,  in  spite 
of  increased  holiday  trade,  its  influence 
is  not  as  decisive  there  as  it  is  with  us. 
Our  national  custom  has,  however,  one 
great  advantage  for  us.  It  affords  the 
possibility  of  systematically  concentrat- 
ing our  energies  on  a  certain  end.  In 
this  case  it  means  for  the  grower  to 
have  his  stuff  in  the  best  salable  shape 
when  the  harvest  days  arrive.  The  re- 
verses are:  long  intermediate  periods  of 
quietness,  with  little  or  nothing  doing; 
more  or  less  severe  losses,  on  stock,  which 
for  one  reason  or  another  was  not  com- 
ing in  just  in  time,  and  the  impossibil- 
ity of  growing  any  pot  plant  species 
which  cannot  be  had  at  their  best  during 
the  days  our  customers  are  in  the  habit 
of  buying. 

As  the  volume  of  business  at  holiday 
seasons  is,  indeed,  very  large,  there  ap- 
pears to  be  no  obvious  reason  for  being 
dissatisfied,  much  less  to  study  condi- 
tions with  a  view  to  enlarging  the  mar- 
ket by  trying  to  stimulate  the  desire  to 
purchase  more  flowering  pot  plants  in- 
dependent of  seasons.  This  is,  however, 
only  the  surface  aspect;  for  as  soon  as 
we  begin  to  look  closer  into  affairs,  we 
find  that  year  after  year  the  amount  of 
unsold  surplus  stock  grows.  Then  the 
lower  grades  of  flowering  pot  plants 
usually  go  begging  first.  It  seems  to 
be  the  inevitable  outcome.  Still,  if  we 
more  carefully  look  over  the  recent  trade 
reports,  we  find  the  fact  repeatedly  re- 
corded  that   the   new,    attractive  designs 


of  baskets  and  jardinieres  are  often  in- 
strumental in  selling  large  numbers  of 
the  lower  grades  of  pot  plants,  which 
otherwise  could  not  have  been  disposed 
of  at  all. 

Trade  reports,  to  many,  may  appear 
only  as  matter  of  passing  interest,  but 
most  of  us  take  a  fleeting  glance  over 
them  and,  perhaps,  verify  the  statement 
of  the  local  correspondent  with  our  own 
experience.  Keview  correspondents  are, 
however,  frequently  in  the  laudable 
habit  of  giving  us  brief  information  as 
to  the  how  and  why  of  things.  The  oc- 
casional practice  of  supplementing  the 
reports  of  the  bare  facts  with  explana- 
tory or  suggestive  remarks  cannot  be 
too  highly  appreciated.  It  enables  the 
thoughtful  reader  to  not  only  determine 
the  actual  condition  of  business  but  it 
will  also,  in  many  instances,  aid  him  in 
the  intelligent  drawing  of  conclusions 
as  to  the  future   trend  of  business. 

Ijet  us  return  to  the  jardiniere  and 
plant  basket,  and  in  doing  so  I  wish  the 
window-box  included.  When  mentioning 
the  latter  I  do  not,  in  this  instance, 
refer  to  it  as  an  outdoor  decoration. 
What  I  desire  to  call  attention  to  are 
the  winter  window -baskets,  as  represent- 
ed by  the  accompanying  illustration. 
Tliis  basket  is  filled  with  the  so-called 
^lartha  Washington  geraniums.  It  is 
that  convenient  size  that  fits  on  the 
inner  window  sill.  Florists'  supply 
houses,  I  believe,  carry  at  present  very 
attractive  designs  of  jardinieres,  win- 
dow boxes  and  baskets. 

We  have  been  planting  them  princi- 
pally with  ferns  and  other  foliage 
plants,  ex;-ept  at  holiday  seasons,  when 
flowering  plants  and  especially  bulbous 
stock  is  also  freely  used.  The  use  of 
window-baskets,  simply  as  ornamental  re- 
ceptacles for  flowering  pot  plants  of 
the  common,  every-day  class,  is  an  inno- 
vation. It  is  doubtless  a  good  one, 
wliich  deserves  every  encouragement. 
Such  baskets  or  boxes  could,  of  course, 
always  have  an  inner  tin  box  to  hold  the 
dripping  water.  The  convenient  way  of 
exchanging  plants  and  the  simple    man-

THE  ENGLISH  CARNATION  SHOW. 

As  reported  in  a  recent  issue,  tlie  Wiii- 
ler-Flowering  (arnatinii  Snciety  in  F.ng- 
land  liehl  its  second  annual  exhibition 
Marcii  i;;  at  bN'^^cnl  "s  jiark.  Loud<ni.  It 
was  a  \ciy  successful  affair,  although  not 
of  great  extent  as  compared  with  the 
exhibitions  of  «-ariiatioiis  often  seen  on 
this  side  of  the  Atlantic.  The  acconi- 
I>anying  illustration  i.s  reproduced  from 
.•I  pliiptograjih  of  the  ]arg(>st  exhibit  in 
the  sliow  and  \\iil  sri\('  to  give  American 
yidwcrs  an  idea  of  the  chai'acter  of  the 
Fnglish  exiiibil  ion.  There  are  some 
twenty-five  varieties  in  this  display,  which 
was  staged  liy  Hugh  Low  6c.  Co.,  said  to 
be  the  largest  yro\\(is  of  caiiiati<uis  in 
l-]nglaiul.  They  lia\c  several  large 
houses  de\()ted  to  carnations  and  grow 
]>ractically  all  the  American  varieties,  it 
will  be  n(»ted  that  they  .staged  not  only 
cut  blomns,  1)ut  growing  pliints  in  pols. 
The  .•itteiidance  at  the  exhibition  was 
large.       The    visitors    seemed    thoroughly 


interested  and  the  exhibitors  did  a  large 
business  in  booking  orders.  The  two 
British  novelties,  ]\Irs.  Burnett  and  Bri- 
tannia, sold  better  than  the  new  Ameri- 
can sorts.  This  was  doubtless  at  least  in 
jiart  due  to  the  fact  that  several  exhib- 
itors showed  these  varieties  in  first-class 
style  and  the  new  American  sorts  were 
not  in  flower,  although  young  pl.'ints  of 
Beacon,  \Vinsor  and  others  were  shown.

you  cannot  change  them  by  any  extern  •

1  know  of  to  get  rid  of  the  disease  is  t 
selection  of  cuttings. 

When     ]iroi)agating,     look     over     yon 
plants   carefully   and   take   only   cuttiiiji 
which    do    not   show   any    of    these    ligl.

ner  of  holding  tlie  necessary  moisture 
for  the  pot8H»y-^ping--the  bottom- of  • 
the  inner  tin  box  slightly  covered  with 
water,  speaks  mueti  ip  their  favor.  The 
possession  of  such  ^^sskets  or  boxes  ia 
ai)t  to  lead  the  owner  to  the  purchase 
of  filling  material,  even  independent  of 
holiday  seasons.  It  is  for  our  wide- 
awake retailers  to  watch  'opportunities 
and  to  make  the  best  out  of  what,  in 
my  opinion,  appears  to  be  a  possibility 
to   enlarge  the  market.  ' 

ElCHARD    EOTHE. 


BEDDING  STOCK. 


".       Early  Geraaiums. 

In  bedding  stuff  the  all-important 
geranium  takes  the  first  place.  For 
those  intended  to  be  in  bloom  early 
it  is  advisable  to  have  fall  struck  cut- 
tings rooted  in  small  pots.  Stop  them 
early  in  tTanuary  and  allow  them  to 
break  before  giving  a  shift  into  3  V^ -inch 
or  4-ineh  pots.  Be  careful  to  ascertain 
before  potting  that  the  balls  are  prop- 
erly moist;  otherwise  the  soil  is  almost 
sure  to  fall  away  and  thus  the  plant  will 
receive  a  bad  check.  Finally  pot  firmly 
in  not  over  rich  soil,  so  as  to  produce 
short-jointed,  stocky  plants.  Keep  all 
varieties  separate  and  spaced  out;  never 
allow  overcrowding.  See  that  proper 
stopping  is  attended  to.  Do  not  merely 
lean  over  the  bench  and  cut  the  top  off 
one  here  and  there,  but  go  over  them 
one  by  one  and  stop  where  necessary. 
By  this  method  you  are  enabled  to  clean 
off  discolored  leaves,  also  to  give  more 
space  and  to  turn  them  around  so  as  to 
produce  more  evenly  shaped  plants. 
This  method  also  prevents  them  from 
rooting  into  the  bench,  an  evil  which 
causes  rank,  long-jointed  growth  which 
does  not  flower  freely.  The  observant 
grower  will  take  note  of  those  varieties 
which  sell  well  and  will  be  careful  to  re- 
tain sufficient  stock  plants  of  those  kinds 
so  that  he  may  prepare  for  another  year. 

Marguerites. 

The  marguerite  is  another  plant 
which,  if  grown  well,  deserves  to  be  far 
more  popular  than  it  at  present  is. 
There  is  abundant  evidence  that  spring 
stuff  is  crowded  out  until  after  Easter, 
when  it  is  too  late  to  make  amends. 
What  is  more  distressing  than  to  see  a 
house  full  of  overdrawn  plants  which 
might  have  been  specimens  but  for 
neglect  in  this  detail  of  giving  room? 
Marguerites  at  all  times  require  plenty 
of  water;  if  allowed  to  get  dry  three 
or  four  times  every  plant  will  get  the 
maggot.  To  cure,  use  kerosene  and  soap, 
an  egg  cup  full  of  kerosene  to  the 
gallon  of  water,  and  syringe  every  sec- 
ond day  until  cured.  Meantime  pick  off 
maggot-infected  leaves  and  burn  them. 
You  may  run  your  house  at  anything 
above  freezing  point  until  a  month  be- 
fore selling  time,  and  by  stopping  three 
times  as  low  as  possible  you  will  have 
nice  shapely  plants.  In  the  daytime 
give  plenty  of  air,  but  never  a  draft 
unless  you  have  an  ambition  for  greenfly. 

Lobelias. 

The  lobelia  well  deserves  a  little  care 
bestowed  upon  it,  and  to  those  who  are 
too  impatient  to  keep  stock  plants  and 
raise  it  from  cuttings  an  excellent  way 
is  to  sow  your  seed  early.  Emperor 
William  is  still  a  favorite.  Prick  off 
two  or  tJiree  in  a  hole  into  a  shallow 
flat,  filled  one-third  with  well  rotted 
horse    manure.      Press    soil    moderately 


firm,  particularly  round  the  edges.  By 
^gettrng  your  plants  early- you  are  able 
to  cut  down  with  a  pair  of  Scissors  two 
or  three  times,  which  process  gives  you 
a  short  plant  covered  with  bloom.  By 
porting  two  or  three  from  small  pots 
intO' a.  5-inch  it  is,  quite  easy  to  quickly 
have Ji  showy  plant,  covered  with  bloom. 

Fuchsias.  ^ 

The  lovely  fuchsia,  with  its  graceful, 
pendulous  habit,  .  certainly  deserves  a 
place  of  honor  in  any  list  of  easily 
grown  plants.  The  history  of  its  intro- 
duction into  England  is  surely  worth 
repeating.  A  gentleman  was  passing  a 
thoroughfare  in  Wapping,  a  shipping 
center  situated  in  the  east  end  of  Lon- 
don, when  he  noticed  a  plant  in  the  win- 
dow of  a  humble  house.  He  went  with 
all  speed  to  the  nursery  of  Mr.  Lee,  at 
Hammersmith.  The  writer  was  an  in- 
fant in  arms  when  this  place  existed, 
thirty  years  ago,  but  he  knows  the  spot 
quite  well ;  the  London  Olympia  now 
stands  upon  the  grounds.  Mr.  Lee  im- 
mediately proceeded  to  Wapping  and 
purchased  the  plant  for  all  the  money 
he  had  in  his  pocket — thirteen  guineas 
— from  the  mother  of  a  sailor  lad  who 
had  brought  it  home  from  abroad.  To 
return  to  my  theme,  a  common  error  is 
to  feed  fuchsias  too  much.  If  you  do  so 
they  will  not  flower  freely,  but  make  too 
much  wo6d.  Peed  only  with  occasional 
weak  doses  when  root  bound.  They 
don't  require  stopping  in  every  case. 
Eose  of  Castile  breaks  naturally  and  is 


of  a  splendid  habit.  A  popular  free

Spring  cut'tings"' taken-  early  make  good 
plants  by  the  middle  of  April  in  4-inch 
pots. 

Petunias. 

The  petunia  is  deservedly  i  popular, 
both  the  single  and  double  variety.  With 
doubles  it  is  far  better  to  save  your  stock 
plants;  by  so  doing  you  run  no  risk  in 
getting  mongrels,  which  havfe  to  be 
dumped.  In  singles  how  many  growers 
have  been  had  by  buying  wortl^less  seed 
which  produces  small  flowers?  jThe  best 
seed  costs  anything  from  $40  to  $50  an 
ounce,  but  a  sixteenth  of  an  oiance  is  a 
good  many  seeds.  However,  by  select- 
ing the  best  plants  every  year'  for  seed 
this  expense  is  overcome,  besides  improv- 
ing the  strain.  The  points  to  b^  watched 
in  saving  plants  for  seed  are':  Select 
the  most  free  breaking  dwsjrf  habit 
plants  with  the  largest  flowers 'and  best 
.markings;  pot  into  5-inch;  keep  covered 
from  rain  and  wind,  but  fully  exposed 
to  light  and  air.  Do  not  neglect  the 
watering  and  don't  wet  the  bloom.  A 
camel 's-hair  brush  dabbed  lightly  from 
bloom  to  bloom  every  morning  is  sure 
to  pollinate  them.  Those  flowers  polli- 
nated will  have  wilted  in  twenty-four 
hours,  and  by  July  the  pods  will  be  ripe 
enough  to  pick. 

Stocks,  asters,  salvias,  pyrethrum  are 
all  easily  grown  plants  and  require 
plenty  of  air  at  all  times;  they  fully  re- 
pay a  little  time  and  attention  bestowed 
upon  them.  Laxgley  Tudor.

method  of  regulating  credit  with  so 
many  charge  accounts.  He  said  that 
while  in  a  wholesale  way  they  find  it 
necessary  to  guard  credits  closely,  in  the 
retail  stores,  where  individual  purchases 
are  small,  they  find  little  care  is  needed. 
Practically  any  one  on  their  mailing 
list  is  welcome  to  credit  to  a  reasonable 
amount.  Any  customer  who  orders  over 
the  telephone,  and  is  a  telephone  sub- 
scriber, is  considered  good  for  an  ordi- 
nary purchase.  Mr.  Wittbold  said  that 
pursuing  this  liberal  policy  they  never 
had  in  any  year  lost  as  much  as  $500 
in  uncollectable  accounts. 


RETAILERS'  DEVELOPMENT. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  the  size  to 
which  some  of  the  retail  business  estab- 
lishments have  grown.  For  instance,  at 
the  last  meeting  of  the  Chicago  Florists' 
Club  Louis  Wittbold,  secretary  of  the 
George  Wittbold  Co.,  said  that  they  now 
have  on  their  retail  books  6,000  charge 
accounts.  They  are,  of  course,  running 
two  stores,  but  6,000  charge  customers 
represents  a  very  considerable  amount  of 
business, 

Mr,  Wittbold  stated  that  the  month  of 
March,  1907,  was  the  largest  in  the  his- 
tory of  their  business  and  that  he  credits 
the  steady  increase  to  continuous  adver- 
tising. They  have  a  list  of  over  8,000 
names,  practically  all  residents  of  the 
north  side  of  Chicago.  To  each  one  of 
these  they  mail  some  piece  of  advertising 
once  each  month.  He  said  that  when 
they  have  for  a  time  sought  to  reduce 
expenses  by  omitting  the  advertising  the 
effect  was  at  once  apparent  in  the  vol- 
ume of  business.  As  a  result  the  George 
Wittbold  Co.  is  probably  the  largest  ad- 
vertiser of  any  retail  florists  in  the  west. 
Considerable  newspaper  space  is  used, 
but  the  Chicago  dailies  charge  the  high- 
est rates  in  the  country  and  the  greater 
part  of  the  circulation  is  outside  the 
radius  from  which  the  Wittbold  stores 
draw  the  bulk  of  their  patronage. 

Mr.    Wittbold    was    asked    as    to    the 


DAILY  ORDERS. 


The  retail  florists  along  Michigan  ave- 
nue in  Chicago  have  a  number  of  orders 
to  be  filled  every  day,  or  every  other 
day,  as  the  case  may  be.  There  is  in 
the  neighborhood  a  considerable  so-called 
artistic  colony.  The  shops  located  there 
appeal  to  the  better  class  of  buyers.  The 
office  buildings  are  filled  with  people  who 
cater  to  the  exclusive  class.  It  has  be- 
come more  or  less  the  fashion  in  these 
places  to  keep  a  vase  of  flowers  in  the 
window,  on  the  counter,  or  somewhere 
about  the  place.  It  adds  a  touch  which 
nothing  else  can  give. 

In  every  town  the  florist  can  get  more 
or  less  of  this  business.  He  can  make 
a  bargain  with  the  best  store  to  main-

tain  a  vase  of  flowers  at  so  much  per 
week,  giving  say  three  changes  a  week, 
and  using  whatever  stock  may  be  season- 
able. By  doing  this  he  is  able  to  make 
the  price  low  enough  to  be  attractive. 
Point  out  to  some  one  who  prides  him- 
self on  the  *  *  tone ' '  of  his  place  that 
favorable  comment  will  be  the  result  of

from  many  others. 


RETAILING  IN  HCX)SIEHDOM. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  re- 
produced from  a  photograph  made  just 
before  Easter  at  the  store  of  John  G. 
Heinl  &  Son,  Terre  Haute,  Ind.  Like 
all  photographs  of  store  windows,  this 
one  leaves  much  to  be  desired,  but  it 
serves  to  show  how  good  a  display  the 
Heinls  make  in  a  hustling  provincial 
«ity.  The  picture,  as  commonly  is  the 
«ase  with  those  made  through  show  win- 
dows, shows  much  reflection  of  the  ob- 
jects on  the  other  side  of  the  street,  but 
it  also  shows  the  good  taste  employed 
in  the  display  and  shows  that  the  Heinls 
are  well  up  with  the  best  practice  of 
the  day  in  plant  decoration.  Most  of 
the  plants  in  the  window,  instead  of  hav- 
ing the  pots  covered  with  paper  or  mat- 
ting, were  planted  direct  into  the  popu- 
lar modern  jardinieres  of  many  shapes 
and  colors.  These  were  most  extensively 
used  in  the  best  stores  this  Easter.  They 
are  inexpensive  and,  when  well  chosen 
and  well  combined  with  the  plant,  make 
an  exceptionally  pleasing  effect.  In- 
deed, many  customers  buy  for  the  jar- 
diniere almost  as  much  as  for  the  plant 
that  is  in  it. 

Heinl  &  Son  have  had  a  prosperous 
season  with  steadily  increasing  trade. 
One  of  the  departments  of  the  business 
which  they  have  pushed  with  good  re- 
sults is  the  securing  of  orders  for  de- 
livery in  other  cities.  They  have  adver- 
tised in  the  daily  papers  that  they  have 
made  arrangements  whereby  they  can 
deliver  funeral  flowers,  or  flowers  for 
any  purpose,  in  almost  any  town  in  the 
country  on  a  very  few  hours'  notice.    It 


has  brought  them  many  such  orders, 
which  then  are  wired  to  some  one  with  a 
card  on  the  Review's  pages  for  Leading 
Eetail  Florists.  This  is  a  line  any  florist 
can  work  up;  when  you  have  nothing 
special  for  your  space  in  your  local 
paper  advertise  your  facilities  for  deliv- 
ering flowers  "by  telegraph." 

A  VENERABLE  NEW  YORKER. 

W.  A.  Blaedel  is  one  of  the  oldest 
florist«  in  the  business.  He  was  born  in 
New  York  city  nearly  eighty  years  ago 
and  for  over  tnirty  years  has  been  in  the 
business  at  402  West  Twenty-third  street. 
He  has  seen  wonderful  changes  in  the 
city  and  in  the  flower  trade  in  that 
time.  It  was  in  1876  that  he  opened  the 
store  where  the  photographer  stood  to 
make  the  picture  reproduced  in  this  is- 
sue, looking  into  one  of  the  greenhouses 
at  the  rear.  There  are  two  of  them,  up- 
to-date,  well-ordered  structures,  of  in- 
estimable value  to  any  retailer  at  such 
a  time  as  Easter,  but  not  usually  found 


attached  to  a  store  in  the  heart  of  the 
city.  Mr.  Blaedel 's  two  sons  are  asso- 
ciated with  him  and  of  course  carry  the 
burden  of  the  business.  J.  A.  S. 


A  GENEROUS  WINDOW. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  from 
a  photograph  of  the  window  display  of 
John  C.  Hatcher,  at  Amsterdam,  N.  Y., 
photographed  just  before  Easter.  Mr. 
Hatcher's  business  has  been  established 
since  1877  and  is  steadily  on  the  in- 
crease. His  greenhouses  are  on  Cleve- 
land avenue  and  tliQ  store  at  50  East 
Main  street.  A  large  stock  is  carried  at 
all  times  and  a  generous  window  display 
always  maintained,  for  he  believes  that 
in  order  to  do  business  you  must  show 
that  you  have  something  to  sell. 

THE  SIMMONS  RIG. 

"For  the  purpose  of  bringing  busi- 
ness to  a  first-class  retail  flower  store 
there  is  nothing  like  a  reputation  for 
good  work;  but  only  second  to  reputa- 
tion is  the  general  appearance  of  the 
store,  and  it  ill  behooves  a  florist  to 
maintain  a  well  appointed,  well  kept,  up- 
to-date  store,  with  all  the  modern  fix- 
ings, and  send  out  his  work  in  a  dilapi- 
dated wagon  drawn  by  an  ill  fed  team. ' ' 

This  is  the  line  of  reasoning  pursued 
by  J.  S.  Simmons,  of  Toronto,  and  its 
conclusion  is  seen  in  the  illustration 
oil  page  1673  from  a  photograph  of  his 
new  delivery  outfit.  The  wagon  is  in 
white  and  gold  and  leaves  nothing  to  be 
desired.  The  team  is  every  way  in  keep- 
ing and  driver  and  boy  are  in  uniform. 
The  outfit  represents  the  investment  of 
many  hundreds  of  dollars,  but  it  is  as 
strong  an  advertisement  as  any  retailer 
could  put  upon  the  street. 


HOT  WATER  FOR  FORCING. 

So  long  ago  as  February,  1905,  the 
florists'  organ  in  Berlin,  Die  Binde- 
kunst,  drew  attention  to  the  users  of 
warm  water  in  the  forcing  of  lily  of  the 
valley  and  to  the  alleged  fact  that  its 
application  to  the  crowns  for  one  night 
hastened  their  flowering  considerably. 
Lately  the  Society  for  the  Advancement 
of  Horticulture  in  the  Prussian  States 
invited  an  exchange  of^experiences  in 
this  field,  and,  in  response  thereto,  Gar- 
den   Inspector   Weber   exhibited   lily   of

Fuchsias. 

The  lovely  fuchsia,  with  its  gract>ful, 
pendulous  liahit.  certainly  deserves  a 
place  of  honor  in  any  list  of  easily 
grown  plants.  The  history  of  its  intro- 
duction into  Knglanil  is  surely  worth 
repetiting.  A  gentleman  w;is  passing  a 
thoroughfare  in  W'appiiig,  a  slii[)ping 
center  situated  in  tlie  east  end  of  Lon- 
<lf)ii,  wlien  he  noticed  a  ])laiit  in  tlie  win- 
dow of  a  liumhie  house.  Jle  went  with

he  had  in  Ids  pocket^ — thirteen  guineas 
-from  the  motiier  of  a  sailor  lad  who 
had  hronght  it  lioine  from  ahroad.  To 
return  to  my  theme,  a  common  error  is 
to  feed  fmdisias  too  miudi.  If  you  do  so 
they  will  not  flower  freely,  hut  make  too 
much  wood.  Feed  only  with  occasional 
weak  doses  wlien  root  hound.  They

THE  RETAIL 


FLORIST 


RETAILERS'  DEVELOPMENT. 


It  is  interesting  to  note  fli(>  size  to 
vvhiidi  some  of  the  retail  husiness  (>stah- 
lishments  have  grown.  For  instance,  at 
the  l.asl  meeting  of  the  ('liicago  J-'lorists' 
•  lull  Louis  W'itthold.  secretary  of  the 
(ieoige  W'itthold  < 'o..  said  that  they  now 
have  on  their  retail  hooks  (i.OdO  clmrge 
accounts.  They  are,  of  cimrse.  running 
twi)  stores,  hut  (i. 0(111  (di.arge  customers 
represents  ;i  very  considerahle  amount  of 
husiness. 

Mr.  Witlhold  stated  that  the  month  of 
Mandi.  l!>o7.  was  ihe  largest  in  the  his 
lory  (d'  their  husiness  and  that  he  credits 
the  steady  increase  lo  continuoiis  ad\('r- 
tising.  'i'liey  have  ;i  list  of  over  S.OOU 
n.anies,  piaclic;dly  all  residi'iits  of  the 
north  siile  of  ('hicago.  To  eaidi  one  of 
these  they  in.ail  some  pie<'e  of  advertising 
once  each  month.  lie  said  that  when 
they  have  for  a  lime  sought  to  reduce 
expenses  hy  omitting  the  advertising  the 
effect  w.as  ;it  once  a|ipareiit  in  the  vol- 
ume of  husiness.  .\s  a  result  the  (ieorge 
W'itthold  ( ■().  is  prtdiahly  the  largest  ad- 
vertiser of  any  retail  florists  in  the  west. 
» 'onsiderahle  newspa|)er  sj)ace  is  used. 
hut  the  < 'hicago  dailies  (diarge  the  liigh- 
est  rates  in  the  ciuinlry  and  the  greater 
jiarl  (d'  the  circulation  is  outside  the 
r.adiiis  from  which  ihi'  ^Vitthold  stores 
draw   the  hulk  (d'  their  p.atronage. 

Mr.    W'itthold    was    asked    as    to    the 


nielhod     of     regulating     credit     with     S'"' 
many    (di.arge    accounts.       He    said    that 
while    ill    a    wholes:!  le    way    lliey    find    it 
necess.ary  to  guard  credits  idosely.  in  th'- 
retail   stores,   where   individual   ]iurcliase- 
are  small,  lliey  find  little  care  is  needed. 
I'raidically    any    one    on    their    mailing 
list   is  welcome  to  credit    to  a  reasonahh 
amount.     Any  customer  who  orders  over 
the    telephone,    and    is    a    teleidioiie    suh 
scriher.    is   consideicd    good    for   an    ordi 
nary    purchase.      .Mr.    W'itthold    said    tha* 
pursuing    thi>    liheral    judicy    they    neve* 
had    in    any    year    lost    ;is    much    as    .fot'"

the  valley,  the  crowns  of  which  had 
been  soaked  in  warm  water  (35  degrees 
Eoaumur)  (96  degrees  F.)  previously  to 
planting  them,  and  in  fourteen  days  the 
plants  were  so  far  advanced  as  to  be 
taken  out  of  the  forcing,  house.  Ilerr 
Swoboda,  of  the  firm  of  J.  C.  Schmidt, 
Berlin,  had  experimented  with  a  temper- 
ature of  15  degrees  to  20  degrees  K^au., 
and  intended  to  carry  on  the  experi- 
ment further.     Nurseryman  Beuster  had 


applied  water  at  37  degrees  R6au.  with- 
out injury  to  the  plants.  The  method 
has  been  tried  at  Dresden,  even  on 
lilac,  with  good  results,  the  plants  being 
placed  in  tanks  under  water  for  ten 
hours  of  a  temperature  of  22  degrees  to 
24  degrees  K^au.  (86  degrees  F.).  This 
method  is  much  cheaper  than  setheriza- 
tion,  and,  according  to  Die  Bindekunst, 
will  doubtless  take  its  place  in  the  early 
forcing  of  a  large  number  of  species. 


GROWTH  FINE.  FI.OWERS  PCX)R. 

We  have  a  solid  bed  in  roses  which  are 
making  lots  of  new  growth  from  near 
the  ground,  almost  walking  sticks  four 
feet  and  over  in  length,  but  the  bloom 
is  not  in  proportion;  it  is  just  ordinary 
in  quality.  We  have  been  letting  the 
blooms  develop  and  then  cutting  back  to 
three  or  four  eyes,  hoping  the  next 
growth  will  be  better.  Is  that  the  right 
way?  Also,  there  is  considerable  old, 
blind  wood  and  we  would  like  to  know  if 
it  is  best  to  prune  much  now. 

J.  W.  M. 

As  these  roses  seem  to  be  doing  well 
and  making  excellent  wood,  there  is  no 
doubt  but  that  they  will  produce  good 
blooms  after  a  while.  It  is  possible  that 
they  are  planted  in  too  rich  soil  and 
should  therefore  receive  no  feeding  until 
they  seem  to  require  it.  It  might  be 
profitable,  seeing  they  are  inclined  to 
such  rank  growth,  to  cut  the  stems  a  little 
higher,  leaving  five  or  six  eyes  instead 
of  three  or  four.  At  this  season  it  would 
be  better  to  leave  all  the  side,  or  blind, 
wood  on  the  plants,  thus  affording  a 
shade  to  the  soil  and  protection  from  the 
hot  sun  for  the  roots.  Bibes. 


SOIL  FOR  BENCHES. 

As  soon  as  the  weather  will  permit, 
the  selection,  collection  and  composting 
of  soil  for  the  season's  planting  should 
be  commenced.  The  best  of  soil  is  none 
too  good,  so  care  .should  be  taken  and 
some  time  spent  in  making  the  selection, 
as  it  will  certainly  pay  to  get  the  best 
that  can  be  had.  A  good,  friable  yellow 
loam  from  old  pasture  land  is  the  soil 
that  most  of  the  growers  are  after.  The 
top  spit,  about  seven  inches  deep,  with 
all  the  sod,  should  be  taken.  This  should 
be  put  into  piles  on  ground  elevated  a 
little  above  the  common  level,  to  secure 
a  dry  bottom,  and  one-fifth  of  decom- 
posed cow  manure  added. 

After  being  allowed  to  lie  in  the  pile 
for  a  week  or  so,  to  allow  fermentation 
to  commence,  the  whole  mass  should  be 
chopped  up,  not   too   fine,  and   left   for 


another  week.  By  this  time  fermenta- 
tion will  be  so  far  advanced  that  the 
compost  should  either  be  used  or  turned 
over  once  more. 

In  order  to  discourage  thrips  and  other 
insect  pests  from  making  this  pile  their 
breeding  place,  no  weeds  should  be  al- 
lowed to  make  their  appearance,  either 
on  the  pile  or  in  its  immediate  vicinity. 
All  operations  connected  with  the  com- 
post should,  if  possible,  be  conducted  dur- 
ing bright  sunshine  and  when  the  soil  is 
in  a  mellow  condition. 

By  a  little  forethought  and  care  with 
the  work,  the  soil  will  remain  sweet  and 
in  good  condition  when  placed  on  the 
bench.  Eibes. 

SOUTHERN  ROSES  UNDER  GLASS. 

[A  paper  by  R.  liookerblp.  Now  Orleans.  rei\fl 
Itefore  the  Society  of  Southern  Florists,  at  the 
New  OrleauB  Convention,  February  14  to  10, 
1907.1 

Having,  in  previous  installments, 
treated  of  propagating,  culture  and  in- 
secticides, we  will  conclude  with  a  few 
words  on  fertilizers,  etc. 

Fertilizers. 

For  fertilizers,  roses  require  nitrogen, 
phosphoric  acid,  potash   and  calcium   or 


lime.  For  perfect  foliage,  stem,  size  and 
color  of  bloom  the  plants  must  have  their 
proportion  of  each  of  these  ingredients. 

The  nitrogen  is  easily  supplied  by  ani- 
mal manures,  and  dried  blood  and  bone 
meal  supply  the  phosphoric  acid,  whicli, 
besides  increasing  the  size,  develops  th(' 
color  of  the  bloom.  Potash  is  found  in 
hard- wood  ashes,  and  muriate  of  potasl-. 
is  another  cheap  source  of  supply.  For- 
tunately the  soils,  in  Louisiana  at  least, 
are  well  supplied  with  potash  and  this 
element  may  be  eliminated. 

If  the  plants  have  made  good  growt!( 
and  the  soil  shows  signs  of  becoming  ex- 
hausted a  liberal  dusting  of  bone  meal 
may  bo  applied  about  the  middle  of  Oi- 
tober,  and  this  again  covered  with  j) 
mulch  of  cow  manure.  This  will  carrv 
the  plants  along  for  a  couple  of  months, 
when  they  should  receive  a  little  stinui 
lant  about  every  two  weeks.  Alternate 
with  a  dusting  of  dried  blood,  cotton- 
seed meal  and  native  Poudrette.  .  Tiiis 
latter  is  a  Philadelphia  pro(Juct,  madi; 
from  night  soil,  dried  and  pulverized, 
and  is  odorless  and  easy  to  handle. 
When  used  with  bone  flour  in  the  pro- 
portion of  four  of  Poudrette  to  one  of 
the  flour  it  makes  a  wonderful  fertilizer. 
Its  effect  is  noticed  in  a  few  days  in 
the  improved  foliage  and  size  and  color 
of  the  blooms.  All  these  fertilizers 
should  be  used  sparingly  at  first  and 
cither  rubbed  into  the  manure  with  the 
palm  of  the  hand  or  covered  with  a  thin 
coating  of  fresh  soil. 

Manure  water  once  or  twice  a  month 
can  also  be  given  to  advantage.  Toward 
spring  the  quantities  can  be  increased 
and  another  good  mulch  of  manure  wilt 
be  beneficial,  both  as  a  fertilizer  and  a 
help  in  keeping  the  roots  cool  as  long  as- 
possible. 

Of  course  these  rules  are  only  for 
plants  that  are  vigorous  and  healthy. 
Sickly  plants  must  be  nursed  into  health 
before  any  fertilizer  can  be  given.  From 
March  on,  the  plants  use  more  water 
and  the  supply  can  be  increased  as  the 
season  advances. 

During  the  growing  season  the  aphis 
or  greenfly  must  be  kept  in  subjection. 
Tobacco  stems  used  for  fvimigating  are 
so  liable  to  discolor  and  cripple  the 
blooms  that  the  careful  grower  discards 
them  for  something  else.  The  safest  and 
most  effective  remedy  that   I  have  ever

safety  from  injurious  results  to  the

Roses  for  Summer  Blooming. 

There  are  many  other  points  of  more 
or  less  importance  that  might  be  men- 
tioned, but  this  paper  is  so  long  already 
that  I  must  apologize.  Let  me  just  write 
one  word  about  roses  for  summer  bloom- 
ing. Maman  Cochet  and  its  white  sport 
are  two  roses  that  are  worth  millions  for 
Slimmer  blooming  in  the  south.  The 
same  directions  for  soil  and  planting  as 
jiivon  before  apply  to  them.  Plenty  of 
air  and  water,  and,  after  they  are  well 
established,  judicious  fertilizing  are  the 
main  requirements. 

These  two  varieties  seem  to  riot  in  the 
hot  sun  and  they  can  be  run  with  profit 
until  the  Christmas  holidays  are  over. 
If  these  are  grown  in  a  separate  house, 
on  raised,  solid  benches,  they  can  b»  used 
a  number  of  years  without  disturbing  the 
IxMiches.  After  the  holidays  are  over 
j^radually  withhold  water  and  diminish 
the  temperature,  so  as  to  get  them  into 
a  dormant  condition.  In  early  spring 
tlicy  can  be  pruned  well  back  and  two 
inches  of  soil  removed.  Give  the  beds  a 
tliorough  watering,  then  top  dress  with  a 
y:ood  dose  of  bone  meal  and  add  enough 
soil  and  manure  in  equal  parts  to  level 
<i|)  the  bed.  Syringe  the  wood  three  or 
lour  times  a  day,  but  water  sparingly 
"util  the  roots  are  well  under  way.  I 
venture  to  say  that  with  the  quantity  of 
'■  )ses  used  in  the  south,  a  large  house  or 
iwo  of  these  two  varieties  will  prove  a 
-iiiall  Klondike  to  the  grower. 

Some  Advantag^es  in  the  South. 

There  are  many  diflSculties  in  the  way 
"f  successful  rose  growing  in  the  south, 
■'lit  again  there  are  many  advantages 
^^hich  she  possesses  over  the  north.  Here 
IS  the  finest  market  in  the  whole  United 
States  with  unlimited  chance  for  devel- 
'pment.  The  cry  is  not  "Bekos,  Be- 
liOH,"  but  is  ever  the  same  "More  flow- 
"I's,  more  flowers."  Will  the  south  grasp 
■'•^r  opportunity?  Is  she  doing  her  full 
''"ty  in  the  premises?  It  is  high  time 
^''e  was  claiming  the  money  annually 
••"t'ut  north  for  cut  flowers,  and  now  is  a 


good  time  to  begin.  Verbum  sapientiae, 
gentlemen,  I  hope  the  seed  has  fallen  on 
good  ground. 

DAHLIAS. 


Field  Roots,  Pot  Roots  or  Green  Plants. 

In  discussing  this  subject,  says  Wil- 
liam F.  Turner  in  the  first  issue  of  the 
Dahlia  News,  let  us  first  define  the 
terms.  Field  roots  are  the  T)est-known 
and  probably  the  most  universally 
grown  in  America  of  the  three  classes, 
while  in  Europe,  field  roots  in  commerce 
are  an  almost  unknown  commodity.  In 
England,  where  the  dahlia  probably 
reaches  its  highest  state  of  perfection, 
plants  are  used  almost  exclusively. 
Among  the  large  majority  of  dahlia 
lovers,  outside  of  the  dealers  and  mem- 
bers of  horticultural  societies,  where 
such  subjects  are  freely  discussed,  the 
field  root  is  fearfully  abused.  Early  in 
the  season,  usually  as  soon  as  the  ground 
is  open,  the  clump  of  roots  is  taken  from 
its  hiding  place  and  plunged  in  a  cold- 
frame,  where  the  dormant  root  soon  re- 
sponds to  the  gentle  admonition  that 
spring  is  here.  If  the  root  is  in  a  good 
state  of  presentation,  a  number  of 
sprouts  spring  from  around  the  old 
stalk  and  are  allowed  to  grow,  creating 
an  abnormal  bush  and  producing  a  re- 
markably small  number  of  flowers, 
many  of   them   with  open   centers. 

There  are  three  serious  objections  to 
this  method,  viz. :  Starting  thus  early 
in  the  season,  the  plants  are  growing 
during  the  moist  spring  weather,  giving 
us  dahlias  which  often  require  a  step- 
ladder  to  reach  the  inferior  flowers  at 
the  top,  the  several  shoots  that  spring 
from  the  crown  likewise  increase  the 
diameter  of  the  bush,  excluding  light 
and  air;  and  thirdly,  fewer  new  tubers 
are  produced  for  the  next  year 's  growth. 

The  modern  method  of  handling  the 
field  root  is  to  divide  the  clump  as  soon 
as  the  new  eyes  are  plainly  discernible, 
leaving  from  one  to  three  tubers  to  eacli 
sprout  or  group  of  sprouts.  When 
growth  is  well  started,  all  but  one  or 
two  shoots  are  removed,  preferably  all 
but  one.  The  function  of  the  tuber  is 
simply  to  preserve  the  eyes  during  win- 
ter and  to  sustain  the  new  growth  until 
such  time  as  it  can  put  forth  new  roots. 


when  the  tuber  could  be  removed  with- 
out detriment  to  the  plant.  The  whole 
clump  idea  tends  to  deterioration  and 
the  production  of  small  flowers  often 
open  centered. 

Where  quick  and  certain  results  are 
desired  with  a  minimum  of  labor  and 
quantity,  rather  the  extremely  fine  qual- 
ity of  ilowers  is  the  object  to  be  at- 
tained, field  roots  are  the  most  desirable, 
and  a  single  toe  with  a  good  eye  is  pref- 
erable to  several  tubers  less  favorably 
eyed. 

Pot  roots  are  small  tubers  produced 
by  growing  green  plants  one  season  in 
3-inch  or  3i/>-inch  pots.  The  confine- 
ment of  the  roots  causes  the  plant  to 
form  from  one  to  three  and  sometimes 
even  more  small  roots,  varying  in  size 
from  that  of  the  end  of  a  man's  thumb 
to  twice  or  even  three  times  that  size. 
These  tubers,  althougli  rather  diminu- 
tive, and  often  unpromising  in  appear- 
ance, have  suflScient  food  force  stored  in 
small  confines  to  push  forth  good, 
strong,  lusty  shoots,  and  in  time  fur- 
nish as  fine  plants  as  any  field-grown 
roots.  The  main  thing  is  to  cater  to 
their  needs.  If  potted  and  given  a  good 
start  before  planting  in  the  open,  my 
experience  has  been  fully  as  satisfac- 
tory as  though  I  had  planted  the  field 
root;  but  where  such  methods  are  im- 
possible or  impracticable,  I  should  rec- 
ommend the  field-grown  stock.  In  an 
adverse  season,  like  the  spring  of  1906, 
the  large  tuber  would  be  far  more  liable 
to  force  its  sprout  above  the  surface  of 
the  rain-packed  and  water-soaked 
ground  than  its  smaller  brother.  Once 
above  the  surface,  the  fight  is  nearly  an 
even   one. 

dreen  plants  of  dahlias  are  prac- 
tically the  same  thing  as  chrysanthemum 
plants,  young  geraniums,  and  many  of 
the  pot  plants  of  perennials.  The  clump 
of  tubers  is  plunged  in  the  bench  in  a 
moderately  heated  house,  leaving  the 
center  or  crown  exposed.  When  the 
shoots  have  two  sets  of  leaves  and  an 
undeveloped  top,  cut  the  slip  just  below 
the  bottom  leaves,  trim  the  lower  leaves 
close  to  the  stem,  and  place  in  good, 
clear  sand,  where  a  moderate  bottom 
heat  can  be  obtained.  In  about  two 
weeks  they  will  be  well  rooted,  and 
should  then  be  potted  in  small  pots  and

plunged  in  a  frame,  giving  plenty  of 
air  to  prevent  their  growing  "leggy." 
When  well  established,  pot  on  into  larger 
sizes,  taking  care  never  to  allow  them  to 
become  pot-bound  or  dry,  either  of 
which  would  tend  to  make  the  plants 
hard-wooded.  If  only  a  few  strong 
plants  are  desired,  take  only  the  strong- 
est center  shoots,  as  these  invariably 
produce  the  healthiest  plants  and  the 
largest  specimen  flowers.  The  secondary 
sprouts  are  not  to  be  despised,  as  they 
■will    make    good   plants. 

Another  method  of  producing  the 
plant  is  to  take  a  small  piece  of  the 
tuber  along  with  the  cutting.  Nearly  all 
such  cuttings  will  root  in  a  much  short- 
er time  and  with,  less  coddling.  For  the 
production  of  our  finest  specimens  in 
the  perennial  world,  we  almost  invari- 
ably turn  to  the  new  growths  that  spring 
from  the  old  stock.  For  instance,  in  the 
production  of  our  finest  chrysanthe- 
mums, the  old  stock  is  utilized  simply 
and  solely  to  furnish  the  young  shoot, 
and  you  never  see  a  gardener  splitting 
his  last  year's  clump  to  use  for  flower- 
ing. Geraniums  may  be  wintered  in  a 
dormant  condition,  and  the  old  stock 
will  furnish  quantities  of  blossoms,  but 
never  the  equal  in  quality  of  those  from 
young  stock. 

Why  not  apply  this  theory  to  the 
dahlia?  For  producing  specimen  flow- 
ers nothing  can  surpass  the  stocky,  small- 
stemmed,   well-nourished  plant. 

The  dislike  for  plants  has  sprung 
largely  from  three  reasons,  viz.:  The 
almost  certain  death  of  the  plant  if  Mr, 
Worm  decapitates  it,  the  mistake  of 
some  dealers  in  allowing  their  young 
stock  to  become  hard-wooded,  and  the 
habit  of  the  unscrupulous  or  ignorant 
dealer  in  taking  his  cuttings  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  prevent  the  forming  of 
eyed  tubers.  If  the  plant  has  formed 
any  tuber  at  all,  and  has  had  an  oppor- 
tunity to  make  roots  in  its  new  home, 
Mr.  Worm's  operations  will  not  be  of 
serious  moment,  unless  he  cuts  around 
the  crown  of  the  infant  tuber.  In  pur- 
chasing plants  one  must  bear  in  mind 
that  a  short,  green,  healthy  looking  ar- 
ticle is  far  preferable  to  a  larger  hard- 
wooded  affair.  The  poorly  started  plants 
may  produce  good  stocky  tops,  but  the 
base  will  always  be  small,  leaving  but  a 
meagre  passage  for  the  transmission  of 
the  life-giving  sap  from  the  roots  to 
the  leaves  and  flowers  above. 

Probably  the  most  discouraging  item 
is  to  find  when  plants  are  dug  in  the 
fall,  after  a  glorious  season  of  flowers, 
only  a  few  roots  and  no  tuber.  Nothing 
to  preserve  for  the  next  year.  This  is 
caused  almost  always  by  improper  cut- 
ting when  the  slip  is  made.  If  cut  just 
below  the  leaves,  allowing  enough  stem 
for  a  shoulder  to  prevent  the  lower 
leaves  from  dropping,  such  cuttings  will 
almost  invariably  form  good  tubers;  but 
if  cut  midway  between  joints,  while  you 
may  have  a  splendid  growth  above 
ground,  the  chances  are  very  slim  for 
the  underground  portion — that  is  the 
tuber. 

Briefly  stated,  for  exhibition  flowers 
use  dahlia  plants;  for  quantity  of  flow- 
ers use  either  field  roots  or  pot  roots, 
preferably  the  former  if  unable  to  give 
the  pot  roots  an  early  start.

THE  VALUE  OF  FLORISTS'  CLUBS. 

(A  paper  by  J.  V.  Sullivan,  read  before  the 
Detroit   Florists'  ("lub,  April  :{,   1007.] 

In  view  of  all  that  has  been  said  and 
written  in  the  past  on  the  subject  of 
florists'  clubs  it  might  be  expected  that 
the  value  of  such  organizations  would 
now  be  so  generally  admitted  as  to  re- 
quire no  further  proof.  However,  we 
still  find  much  indifference  shown  by 
some  of  the  older  florists,  and  by  a  still 
greater  number  of  the  more  recent  ac- 
cessions to  our  ranks,  toward  these  so- 
cieties whose  beneficial  work  is  now 
quite  universal  and  of  a  most  substan- 
tial  character. 

To  those  indifferent  members  of  our 
profession  I  particularly  address  myself, 
and  if  my  words  and  efforts  in  this 
direction  will  be  even  remotely  the  cause 
of  new  accessions  to  club  memberships 
in  any  part  of  the  country,  then  I  shall 
feel  justified  and  well  repaid  for  the 
preparation  of  this  address. 

In  the  pursuit  of  any  vocation  life  is 
too  short  for  mere  superficial  efforts, 
and  in  this,  as  in  other  occupations,  all 
should  strive  to  reach  the  summit  of 
success,  neglecting  no  stepping-stone, 
and  membership  in  the  florists'  club  is 
certainly,  to  the  florist,  the  most  valuable 
as  well  as  the  most  accessible  means  to 
that  end.  And  all  honor  is  due  the 
chief  supporters  of  the  clubs,  namely, 
the  broad-minded,  progressive-spirited 
growers  or  floral  artists,  who,  excelling 
in  their  chosen  line,  come  to  our  open 
meetings,  and,  with  their  cJarefully  and 
thoroughly  prepared  essays,  divulge  un- 
stintedly to  their  interested  hearers  the 
cherished  and  highly  valuable  knowledge 
gained  through  years  of  experience,  in- 
volving in  some  cases  many  sacrifices. 

The  Necessity  of  Or^aaization. 

Who  shall  question  the  value  of 
florists'  clubs  when  he  remembers  those 
illustrious  examples  of  the  persistent 
good  work  and  zeal  of  florists'  clubs 
that  now,  I  am  glad  to  note,  adorn  this 
country?  Organization,  then,  is  the 
watchword  of  the  day.  We  see  evidences 
of  its  effects  on  all  sides,  and  florists 
everywhere,  particularly  the  growers,  are 
feeling  the  effects  of  the  operation  of 
organizations  and  combinations,  which 
materially  advance  the  cost  of  all  com- 
ponent parts,  articles  and  materials  en- 
tering into  the  construction  of  green- 
houses and  the  operation  of  them.  Even 
labor  organizations  contribute  largely, 
though  indirectly,  to  the  same  result. 

Florists'  clubs  are  by  their  very 
nature  the  legitimate  and  properly  de- 
signed combinations  for  accomplishing 
for  their  members  that  which,  if  left  to 
individual  effort,  would  be  impossible. 
The  club 's  value  to  its  members  lies  in 
the  facility  it  affords  for  bringing  out 
the  very  best  methods  locally  known  for 
growing  and  marketing  the  crops  of  the 
members. 

The  purpose  of  the  florists'  clubs  is 
primarily  to  develop  and  advance  the 
floricultural  industry  as  locally  pre- 
sented. This  is  accomplished  by  the 
extraordinary  facility  the  club  affords 
for  the  exchange  of  experiences  of  its 
members  by  the  presentation  of  essays, 
and  the  informal  chats  that  the  club 
meetings  invariably  bring  about  between 
members,  so  that  they  individually  are 
far  better  exponents  of  the  vocation  they 
represent,  after  a  period  of  association 
with  each  other.  For  it  is  a  noteworthy 
fact  that  florists  are  in  these  times  far 
better    informed,    and    generally    better 


qualified  in  their  profession,  than  thoy 
were  prior  to  the  organization  and  prac- 
tical operation  of  florists'  clubs  through- 
out the  country. 

I.  will  go  still  further,  and  assert  with 
full  confidence  that  even  the  leaders* 
of  twenty  years  ago  are  today,  in  their 
respective  lines,  still  better  qualified,  and 
more  successful  and  representative  than 
they  formerly  were,  because,  as  a  rulr 
the  class  referred  to  are  always  found 
foremost  in  the  ranks  of  trade  organiza 
tions.  Florists'  clubs  give  a  tone  and 
dignity  to  the  calling  that  truly  belongs 
to  it,  and  add  prestige,  without  which 
progress  and  development  is  necessarily 
retarded,  as  witness  the  condition  of  the 
trade  in  all  its  branches  prior  to  the 
inauguration  of  florists'  clubs,  over 
twenty  years  ago. 

The  prominence  given  to  the  industry 
through  the  instrumentality  of  the  great 
flower  shows,  with  the  development  ol 
interest  in  our  productions,  and  the  elo 
vating  influence  of  them,  is  the  direel 
result  of  the  work  of  florists'  clubs,  and 
the  value  of  the  work  must  be  plain  U* 
the  most  casual  observer  of  the  pro 
gressive  stages  of  the  business  durinj^ 
the  period  following  the  organization  of 
such  clubs.  For  it  is  a  well-established 
fact  that  only  the  producers  of  first- 
class  flowers  are  today  assured  of  a 
ready  market  and  remunerative  prices 
for  their  product,  at  all  seasons  of  the 
year,  and  it  is  self-evident  that  the  wise 
growers  cannot  afford  to  ignore  any 
contributing  factor  to  the  end  that  they 
may  be  able  invariably  to  grow  first- 
class  stock,  and  enjoy  a  compensation 
commensurate  with  the  skill  and  labor 
employed  in  its  production. 

Benefits  to  Retailers. 

Retailers,  too,  stand  in  much  the  same 
position  as  that  of  the  growers  as  to  the 
necessity  of  seeking  all  the  means  within 
their  reach  to  create  a  ready  market  for 
the  final  disposition  of  the  stock  after 
it  leaves  the  grower's  hands.  Upon  the 
retailers  devolves  the  duty,  yes,  the 
necessity,  of  developing  in  the  future  a 
still  finer  taste  for  flowers,  and  en- 
deavoring, by  suggestions  and  illustra- 
tive displays,  to  create  more  occasions 
for  the  use  of  flowers  and  plants,  thu» 
increasing  the  sale  of  them. 

All  the  representatives  of  this  impor- 
tant branch  of  the  business  should  highly 
prize  club  membership,  because  it  offers 
them  the  same  advantages  that  it  pre- 
sents to  the  growers,  and  the  full  extent 
of  those  benefits  corresponds  precisely 
with  the  amount  of  interest  taken  in  the 
club's  proceedings,  and  the  facilities 
afforded  by  the  latter  to  inaugurate  com- 
petitive floral  displays  to  the  certain  in- 
terest of  all  concerned. 

Florists'  clubs,  composed,  as  they  arc, 
of  the  most  intelligent,  enterprising  and 
progressive  men  in  the  community  where 
clubs  are  located,  are  the  natural  results 
of  the  highest  conceptions  of  liberal, 
broad-minded  members,  who  are  proven 
such  by  their  attachment  to  these  or- 
ganizations, and  it  is  an  assured  fact 
that  every  florist  engaged  in  the  indus- 
try, whether  a  member  of  a  florists' 
organization  or  not,  is  sharing  today,  in 
a  relative  degree,  the  benefit  of  the  great 
work  of  these  societies.  Every  retail 
dealer  in  flowers,  as  well  as  every  em- 
ployee, should  appreciate  the  great  work 
these  societies  are  doing;  their  value  is 
progressive  and  cumulative  as  they  in- 
crease in  age,  being  ever  watchful  as 
they    should   be    of    their    opportunities.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


1675 


John  F.  Sullivan. 


Every  one  commercially  engaged  in  flori- 
culture should  be  a  member  of  a  florists' 
club,  and  the  greater  the  membership  the 
greater  will  be  the  value  of  the  work 
accomplished  by  the  organization.  Every 
man  possessing  even  a  hotbed  devoted  to 
the  production  of  flowers  owes  it  to  him- 
self and  to  the  noble  calling  he  has 
adopted  to  equip  himself  properly  with 
the  great  fund  of  valuable  knowledge 
that  only  membership  in  a  florists'  club 
can  impart  to  him. 

Employees  as  Club  Members. 

And  while  a  reference  to  the  em- 
ployees is  not  strictly  a  part  of  this  sub- 
ject, I  cannot  refrain  from  saying  that 
I  have  always  thought,  and  strongly  con- 
tended, that  employees  who  are  eligible 
to  membership  in  florists'  clubs  should 
be  admitted,  on  the  payment  of  dues 
much  lower  than  those  of  dealers  and 
employers,  and  the  latter  class  should 
gladly  welcome  them  to  their  ranks,  so 
that  the  knowledge  thus  acquired  by 
these  employees  may  be  diffused  to  the 
advantage  of  floriculture  generally,  and 
the  employers  particularly. 

It  is  indeed  deplorable  to  witness  some 
florists'  clerks  attempting,  without  suc- 
cess, to  give  to  the  customers  even  the 
proper  name  of  the  plants  they  are  sell- 
ing, and  most  unfortunate  are  the  re- 
sults of  their  efforts  to  give  to  the  pub- 
lic the  necessary  and  merely  rudimentary 
cultural  instructions  for  growing  the 
most  ordinary  house  jilants,  or  the  more 
easily  grown  bedding  varieties.  And 
when  their  effusions  are  given  to  the 
PTess,  as  they  too  frequently  are,  everj' 
intelligent,  well  informed   florist  is  hor- 


rified   and    totally    disgusted    with    the 
perusal  of  them. 

Clubs  and  Business  Rivalry 

The  true  value  of  florists'  clubs  would 
be  materially  augmented  by  a  recogni- 
tion of  the  following  suggestion  and  the 
practical  operation  of  it :  Prior  to  the 
formation  of  florists '  clubs  it  was  no 
uncommon  occurrence  to  find  the  door 
of  many  greenhouse  establishments  se- 
curely locked  against  visiting  florists, 
the  owner  himself  being  secreted  upon 
the  premises  and  refusing  to  be  seen. 
The  spirit  of  jealousy,  suspicion  and 
deceit  was  not  confined  to  any  one  local- 
ity, either,  and  such  examples  of  un- 
friendliness could  be  found  in  almost 
any  of  the  large  cities,  where  now  are 
to  be  seen  flourishing  clubs,  with  many 
of  their  members  trying  to  outdo  each 
other  in  generous,  public-spirited  acts. 
Even  in  our  club  we  have  some  members 
who  are  most  enthusiastic  and  devoted 
to  the  promotion  of  good  feeling,  who, 
prior  to  joining  the  club,  would  walk 
two  or  three  blocks  out  of  their  way  to 
avoid  passing  close  to  the  stores  of  their 
competitors.  At  that  time  it  was  easy 
for  any  of  us  to  have  a  grievance 
against  our  neighbor  florists,  and  we 
would  give  a  willing  ear  to  any  accusa- 
tion made  against  them  and  would 
greatly  magnify  their  alleged  faults. 
We  Avould  freely  circulate  rumors  detri- 
mental to  them,  and  if  an  opportunity 
arose  to  quote  competitive  prices  one 
dealer  would  be  sure  to  undercut  the 
other. 

But  now,  thanks  to  the  happy  results 
of   our   club,   which   brings   us   together 


twice  a  month,  all  inimical  works  and 
words  are  bygones,  buried  deep  and 
never  to  be  resurrected.  Then  why 
should  we  not  have  a  high  opinion  of 
the  value  of  the  florists'  club?  The 
history  of  florists'  clubs  is  coexistent 
with  that  of  the  parent,  and  greatest  of 
all  floricultural  organizations,  the  Society 
of  American  Florists,  and  the  con- 
tributory support  given  by  the  former 
to  the  latter  organization,  by  pursuing 
a  similar  line  of  work,  adds  another  ele- 
ment of  value  to  them  and  increases  the 
sum  total  of  their  intrinsic  worth. 

Future  Work  of  Clubs. 

A  story  giving  a  review  of  the  value 
of  the  florists'  clubs  would  not  be  even 
fairly  complete  did  it  not  include  a  ref- 
erence to  some  of  the  prospective  work 
which  is  peculiarly  their  own.  and  in 
due  time  will,  I  hope,  be  added  to  their 
annual  programs  everywhere.  Among 
these  many  phases  of  contemplated  club 
work  arc:  The  dissemination  of  au- 
thentic floricultural  information  to  the 
public;  an  active  participation  in  civic 
improvement  work,  substantial  aid  to 
school  classes  iu  botany  and  practical 
garden  work. 

They  will,  too,  always  anticipate  the 
demands  and  inclinations  of  the  public, 
and  never  neglect  an  opportunity,  when 
it  arises,  to  promote  in  the  people  a  still 
greater  love  and  admiration  of  our  pro- 
ductions, and  to  develop  an  increasing 
patronage   for   our  members. 

Among  those  future  duties  I  regard 
as  most  important  the  dissemination  of 
floricultural  knowledge  to  the  public. 
Indeed,  it  is  not  unreasonable  to  hope 
that  in  the  near  future  every  florists' 
club  in  the  land  will  increase  its  scope 
of  usefulness  by  the  maintenance  of  a 
bureau  for  the  specific  i)urpose  of  pre- 
paring seasonable  articles  giving  plain, 
practical  instruction  iu  the  growing  of 
plants  and  flowers  that  will  insure  to 
those  interested  pleasurable  and  success- 
ful results;  and  arrangements  should  be 
made  for  the  publication  of  these 
articles  in  the  local  press.  For  if  such 
articles  are  carefully  prepared,  if  they 
have  no  appearance  of  serving  commer- 
cial interests,  and  arc  apparently  of 
truly  altruistic  nature,  the  press  will 
cheerfully  publish  them,  and  the  ulti- 
mate results  will  certainly  be  beneficial 
to  the  florists. 

Another  opportunity  of  vast  impor- 
tance now  presenting  itself  to  florists' 
clubs  is  that  of  cooperation  with  the 
local  civic  improvement  efforts.  In  such 
matters  the  present  time  is  most  oppor- 
tune for  the  clubs,  not  only  to  identify 
themselves  with  such  work,  but  actually 
to  lead  in  it,  and  when  it  is  considered 
that  the  florists  alone  are  the  direct 
pecuniary  beneficiaries  of  this  work,  so 
fast  becoming  popular,  it  is  all  the  more 
surprising  that  the  florists '  organiza- 
tions have  not  as  yet  shown  much  ag- 
gressiveness in  it. 

Our  own  club  has  already  taken  some 
initiatory  action  along  these  lines,  but 
really  effective  work  can  only  follow 
continuous  and  systematic  efforts,  and 
our  clubs  need  apologize  to  no  one  for 
our  intervention  in  this  good  work,  so 
productive  of  almost  immediate  results 
and  constituting  an  element  of  rare 
value. 

This  work  might  with  much  propriety 
extend  to  efforts,  upon  our  part,  to  se- 
cure horticulturists  and  practical  plants- 
men  for  our  parks  and  public  gardens, 
and  thus  to  remove  from  such  places  the

examples  of  so  much  abortive  Avork 
placed  there  by  politicians  wrongly  oc- 
cupying these  ])08ition8,  earing  little 
about  the  work  beyond  its  remuneration, 
and  too  frequently  devoid  of  the  knowl- 
edge necessary  to  equip  them  for  even 
the  most  rudimentary  Avork  of  this 
nature. 

It  is  true  that  the  total  eradication 
or  even  amelioration  of  all  the  ilia  that 
the  pursuit  of  the  florist  business  is  sub- 
ject to,  is  not  contemplated  by  the  most 
enthusiastic  champions  of  florists '  clubs, 
for  if  that  were  possible,  then  uninter- 
rupted success  and  perfect  tranquillity 
in  our  chosen  work  might  be  purchas- 
able by  the  mere  payment  of  our  annual 
dues  in  these   societies. 

Some  Local  Evidence. 

If  tlie  power  and  influences  of  or- 
ganizations were  devoid  of  proof,  or  at 
all  lacking  in  confirmation,  I  might  with 
perfect  propriety  point  to  even  one  of 
many  examples  of  it  that  could  be 
found  in  the  history  of  our  club.  On 
the  occasion  I  refer  to  it  was  not  neces- 
sary to  lose  any  time  in  working  up  sen- 
timent to  attain  the  end  desired.  We 
were  already  organized  and  the  neces- 
sary spirit  of  kindness  toward  each 
other  was  there,  on  top  of  it,  as  it  were, 
and  the  occasion  only  was  needed  to 
give  a  practical  demonstration  of  it. 

It  was  less  than  two  years  ago  that 
one  of  our  members  was  about  to  erect 
a  fine  store  and  office  building;  we  con- 
sidered that  the  accomplishment  of  that 
enterprising  project  would  stand  as  a 
monument  to  the  floral  industry,  and 
that,  locally,  it  would  be  an  illustrative 
testimonial  of  the  great  possibilities 
open  to  others  thus  engaged,  and  that 
the  dignity  of  the  calling  would  be 
forcibly  impressed  upon  the  public  by 
witnessing  such  an  achievement. 

The  club  accordingly  took  full  charge 
of  the  ceremonies  attending  the  laying 
of  the  cornerstone,  July  1:9,  190.5.  It 
afl'ords  me  great  pleasure  to  say  that 
on  that  occasion  nearly  every  member 
of  the  chib  was  present  and  shared  with 
our  fellow  member  the  great  enjoyment 
of  the  unusual,  but  important  event. 
This  demonstration  of  unselfish  com- 
munity of  interests,  I  should  not  hesi- 
tate to  declare,  never  had  a  parallel  in 
the  history  of  trade  organizations,  and 
the  emulation  by  other  clubs  of  the  cor- 
dial spirit  shown  by  the  members  on 
that  occasion  would  add  immensely  to 
the  value  of  clubs  in  general. 

About  two  years  ago  a  florists'  club 
was  organized  in  a  near-by  city.  At  that 
time  there  was  jealousy,  distrust  and 
much  vindictiveness  among  the  florists 
there,  and  at  first  it  was  thought  useless 
to  attempt  organization,  so  deep-seated 
and  openl;-  pronounced  was  the  general 
discord.  However,  a  few  of  the  more 
progressive  and  broad-minded  undertook 
the  formidable  and  apparently  hopeless 
task,  and  were  much  encouraged  by  a 
timely  visit  of  the  Detroit  Club  in  a 
body  to  the  scene  of  their  efforts,  and 
soon  thereafter  an  organization  was 
effected  which  has  already  accomplished 
much  good  work.  One  of  their  meet- 
ings and  exhibitions,  held  a  month  ago, 
was  so  successful  that  it  required  two 
columns  of  the  trade  papers  to  describe 
the  many  valuable  and  entertaining  fea- 
tures of  it.  and  it  is  needless  to  say 
that  none  of  the  members  any  longer 
questions  tl»e  value  of  the  florists'  clubs. 

A  national  flower  show  was  recently 
projected  by  the  S.  A.  F.  and  a  guar- 


antee fund  was  required.  Immediately 
upon  the  announcement  of  the  enterprise 
guarantors  came  forward  with  subscrip- 
tions amounting  to  over  $8,000 ;  the 
total  amount  required,  $10,000,  is  almost 
in  sight,  and  the  names  of  all  the  guar- 
antors can  be  invariably  found  in  the 
florists '  clubs '  memberships  throughout 
the  country.  Again,  the  result  of  or- 
ganization. 

In  the  state  of  Illinois  at  the  present 
time  the  florists'  organizations  are  se- 
curing an  appropriation  of  $15,000  for 
experimental  purposes  in  their  direct  in- 
terests. Individual  efforts  could  not  se- 
cure one  dollar  for  the  same  purpose. 
Many  similar  cases  may  be  related  cov- 
ering examples  of  the  clubs'  successful 
work  throughout  the  whole  country,  all 
confirmatory  of  their  great  vakie. 

Importance  of  Attending  Meetings. 

A  large  attendance  at  the  meetings 
is  not  only  necessary  to  bring  out  the 
greatest  usefulness  of  a  club,  but  is 
really  essential  to  its  very  existence. 
The  frequency  of  attendance  at  the 
meetings  will  serve  each  time  to  further 
extend  the  acquaintance  and  cement  the 
mutual  friendship,  inspiring  an  inter- 
change of  almost  implicit  confidence  in 
the  total  membership,  and  when  a  time 
arises  calling  for  the  prompt  action  of 
a  united  body  of  men,  no  time  need  be 
lost  by  a  campaign  of  education  along 
lines  of  our  duty  as  intelligent,  progres- 
sive and  enterprising  florists. 

True,  it  may  sometimes  call  for  some 
individual  sacrifice  to  maintain  this  high 
code  of  worthy  practice  in  our  club,  as 
on  occasions  when  the  evening  program 
does  not  appear  attractive.  The  essay 
to  be  read  treats,  perhaps,  of  a  subject 
in  which  the  florist  is  not  vitally  inter- 
ested, and  he  is  accordingly  prompted 
to  remain  away.  Don't  do  it.  Come  to 
the  meeting,  and  by  your  presence,  if 
not  by  your  participation  or  even  pass- 
ing interest  in  the  discussion,  give  en- 
couragement to  the  essayist  who  has 
himself  given  hours  to  the  preparation 
of  his  article  for  the  benefit  of  all  who 
may  hear  it. 

I  contend  that  it  is  really  impossible 
for  the  florists  to  meet  continuously,  as 
they  do  in  their  club  rooms,  without  ac- 
quiring a  far  better  understanding  of 
each  other,  which  often  ripens  into  deep- 
est friendship.  It  is  a  great  mistake  to 
think  that  your  monetary  support  of  the 
club  will  secure  for  either  yourself  or 
the  society  the  full  measure  of  benefit 
that  it  is  possible  to  receive  by  your 
l>rompt  and  regular  attendance  at  the 
meetings.  I  would  rather  witness  the 
presence  of  a  full  membership  at  the 
meetings  than  the  payment  by  each 
absent  member  of  a  fee  equal  to  the 
total  amount  of  his  yearly  dues.  For 
what  benefit  would  the  money  thus 
secured  be,  if  we  did  not  have  inter- 
ested members,  to  appropriate  properly 
the  club  funds  for  the  most  advantage- 
ous furtherance  of  its  purposes?  The 
power  and  influence  of  a  united  and 
enthusiastic  membership  is  lost,  when  a 
weakness  is  unwittingly  engendered  by 
the  apathy  of  its  members  who  fail  to 
attend  the  meetings  regularly  or  even 
frequently. 

It  is  generally  noticeable  that  those 
who  are  prone  to  stay  away  from  the 
meetings  are  the  ones  who  stand  most  in 
need  of  the  benefits  that  the  club  can 
impart  to  them.  The  full  measure  of  a 
club's  value  cannot  be  brought  about 
without  a  complete  representation  of  the 


membership  at  the  meetings.  However 
unattractive  the  program  of  the  evening 
may  be,  if  the  members  present  are  fully 
representative  of  the  club's  strength, 
the  mere  assembling  of  them  for  par- 
ticipation in  the  proceedings  cannot  fail 
to  further  strengthen  the  good  fellow- 
ship among  the  members,  and  I  hope  the 
time  is  not  far  distant  when  the  real 
significance  of  our  organizations  will  be 
so  universally  recognized  that  any  one 
engaged  in  the  business,  even  as  an  em- 
ployee, will  be  very  reluctant  to  ac- 
knowledge that  he  is  not  a  member  of 
both  the  local  club  and  the  Society  of 
American  Florists.  All  florists  truly  de- 
voted to  the  advancement  of  the  busi- 
ness should  hope  and  work  for  a  greater 
number  of  florists '  clubs  in  this  country, 
and  should  materially  aid  them  to  still 
greater  increase  their  value  to  the  trade, 
as  unquestionably  all  work  of  this  char- 
acter contributes  essentially  to  the  dig- 
nity of  our  profession  and  the  commer- 
cial importance  of  it. 

In  conclusion  I  wish  to  congratulate 
the  Detroit  Florists'  Club  upon  its  many 
achievements  during  its  brief  history  of 
nine  years.  And  the  most  important  of 
our  club's  attributes,  I  believe,  is  the 
feeling  of  extraordinary  good  fellowship 
that  exists  always  between  us,  and  per- 
mits us  to  carry  to  a  successful  issue 
whatever  we  undertake. 


THE  WHITE  FLY  AGAIN. 

Have  they  discovered  anything  that 
will  kill  the  white  fly?  I  would  be  grate- 
ful for  a  good  remedy.  Utica. 

This  little  insect  repeatedly  has  been 
written  up  in  the  columns  of  the  Keview. 
Fumigation  with  tobacco  in  any  form  is 
futile  and  as  for  liquid  forms  of  nico- 
tine, it  is  impossible  to  cover  every  part 
of  a  plant.  The  simple  and  effectual  use 
of  hydrocyanic  acid  gas  seems  the  only 
sure  destroyer  of  this  troublesome 
creature.  Many  florists  are  afraid  to 
liberate  this  gas  in  their  houses,  having 
read  of  some  losses.  The  formula  here 
recommended  is  perfectly  safe,  will  in- 
jure no  plant  and  is  death  to  all 
creatures  that  have  lungs.  Scale  or 
mealy  bug  it  has  no  effect  on.  The 
formula  is  largely  based  on  Wm.  Scott 's 
many  experiments.  Here  is  what  he 
has  found  best:  One  pint  of  water;  one 
pint  of  sulphuric  acid.  Place  these  two 
in  a  stone  jar.  One-gallon  jars  are  good. 
The  acid  will  eat  through  tin,  galvanized 
iron  or  fiber  vessels.  At  sunset  put  into 
each  jar  you  use  two  and  one-half  ounces 
of  cyanide  of  potassium.  The  combina- 
tion of  the  cyanide  with  the  acid  gen- 
erates a  deadly  gas  which  stops  the  work 
of  lungs,  but  is  harmless  to  the  vegetable 
kingdom.  This  quantity  is  for  every 
1,000  cubic  feet  of  atmosphere  in  the 
house;   keep  the  house  closed  all  night. 

Don't  think  you  can  improve  on  this 
by  doubling  the  quantities  and  making 
one  jar  do  for  2,000  cubic  feet  of  at- 
mosphere. That  would  be  a  mistake. 
Equalize  the  gas  as  much  as  possible 
through  the  house.  To  find  out  the  cubic 
feet  of  atmosphere  in  a  house  may  seem 
a  little  troublesome,  yet  it  is  simple. 
Find  out  how  many  superficial  feet  there 
are  in  the  gable  end  of  your  house  and 
multiply  this  by  its  length  and  you  have 
the  cubic  amount. 

There  is  one  point  left.  This  gas  will 
kill  all  fully  developed  insects,  but  it 
will  not  kill  the  eggs,  so  the  dose  must 
be  repeated  two  weeks  after  the  first  to

insure  a  complete  destruction  of  the  lit- 
tje  fly.  Buy  your  cyanide  in  little  par- 
cels of  two  and  one-half  ounces  each, 
so  that  they  are  convenient  to  drop  into 
rach  jar,  and  when  the  last  of  the 
,-vanide  is  dropped  get  yourself  out  of 
the  house.  Don't  stop  to  light  your 
iiipe. 

NEWPORT,  R.  I. 


Various  Notes. 

Wadley  &  Smythe  have  purchased  the 
Newport  Nurseries  from  Capt.  J.  P.  Cot- 
ton. These  nurseries  are  located  on 
Vernon  avenue.  The  location  is  an  ideal 
one  for  the  purpose  of  Wadley  & 
Smythe 's  business.  There  are  in  these 
uurseries  a  great  number  of  hanasome 
.specimen  evergreens.  Mr.  Smythe  was 
desirous  of  holding  these  for  use  a  year 
from  now,  on  several  large  estates  where 
he  is  doing  landscape  work  on  an  ex- 
tensive scale. 

The  Fadden  store,  on  Bellevue  avenue, 
is  closed  and  this  firm,  which  has  carried 
on  a  cut  flower  business  in  Newport  for 
over  forty  years,  is  out  of  existence. 

V.  A.  Vanicek,  of  the  Rhode  Island 
Nursery,  received  a  large  consignment  of 
plants  from  Europe  this  week.  Mr. 
Vanicek  has  a  number  of  large  wholesale 
orders  booked  for  early  delivery. 

Although  there  are  not  as  many  grow- 
ing chrysanthemums  in  Newport  as  there 
were  at  one  time,  we  have  in  the  person 
of  William  Miller,  assistant  at  the  Van- 
derbilt  greenhouses,  as  good  a  grower  as 
ever  there  was  in  Newport,  lur.  Miller 
has  sole  charge  of  the  chrysanthemums, 
of  which  he  annually  grows  a  large  num- 
ber, making  a  specialty  of  plants  in  6- 
inch  pots. 

Newport  dahlia  growers  are  hard  to 
beat.  The  climate  and  soil  may  favor 
them  considerably,  but  certain  it  is  that 
they  can  produce  splendid  dahlias.  In 
former  years  the  private  gardeners  went 
in  heavily  for  collections  of  the  cactus 
type,  but  many  of  them  found  that  han- 
dicapped them  in  their  work  of  supply- 
ing their  employers  with  sufficient  cut 
blooms  of  the  few  standard  varieties 
adapted  for  cut  flower  work,  and  for  that 
reason  they  are  now  growing  larger  num- 
bers of  the  best  varieties  of  cactus  and 
decorative  types.  The  well  known  deco- 
rative dahlia,  Katherine  Duer,  was  raised 
by  William  Allan,  gardener  for  Dr. 
Jacobs.  This  dahlia  is  unsurpassed  in 
color  and  form  for  making  up;  it  is  in 
great  demand  in  Newport  for  table  deco- 
ration. Nymphsea  is  another  variety 
largely  made  use  of  in  Newport  for  the 
same  purpose. 

Mr.  Dennis  Leary,  for  over  twenty 
years  in  the  employ  of  the  J.  M.  Hodgson 
Co.,  has  severed  his  connection  with  that 
firm  and  is  now  with  Bruce  Butterton, 
i't  the  E.  J.  Berwind  place. 

Gibson  Bros,  are  doing  a  good  business 
in  their  new  store  on  Washington  square. 

A  formal  garden  of  the  so-called  Ital- 
ian order,  laid  out  in  beds  of  geometrical 
design,  planted  with  evergreens,  will  be 
something  of  a  novelty.  The  garden  at 
Clarendon  Court,  on  Bellevue  avenue,  the 
residence  of  E.  C,  Knight,  Jr.,  will  be 
planted  with  small  evergreens. 

Daily  consignments  of  Winsor  carna- 
tions are  arriving  in  Newport  for  com- 
mercial growers  and  private  gardeners. 
\Ir.  Pierson  is  also  shipping  here  quite 
^  number  of  his  new  cannas,  particularly 
Tarrytown. 

Tuberous  begonia  growing  is  reviving 
in  Newport.     There  are  quite  a  number 


grown  for  house  decoration  in  pots. 
Among  the  many  prizes  in  the  Horticul- 
tural Society's  schedule  for  the  June 
show  are  three  for  tuberous  begonias. 

Nephrolepis  Whitmani  has  so  far  stood 
the  test  as  to  retaining  its  distinctness 
better  than  either  of  the  other  two  of 
the  improved  form  of  N.  Bostoniensis. 
Of  all  the  plants  I  have  seen  in  Newport, 
I  have  not  found  one  that  shows  revert- 
ing.

The  Market. 


The  weather  conditions  during  the  last

both  cold  and  cloudy;  in  consequence  all

seem  to  have  fallen  off  the  most.  The

Spring  Exhibition. 

The  State  Florists'  Society  held  its 
spring  show  April  11  at  the  State  House. 
There  was  a  good  attendance  and  many 
were  here  from  out  of  town.  The  cut 
flowers  were  extra  good,  those  attracting 
special  notice  being  a  fine  lot  of  After- 
glow and  Aristocrat,  and  a  white  rose, 
Frau  Karl  Druschki.  Potted  plants  were 
scarce,  owing  to  the  hot  weather  ex- 
perienced two  weeks  ago.  In  the  even- 
ing a  short  meeting  was  held  and  it  was 
decided  to  hold  a  fall  show,  and  as  there 
will  be  no  chrysanthemum  show  here,  the 
society's  effort  should  be  a  success,  as 
it  will  fill  up  the  gap.  It  was  the  gen- 
eral opinion  of  all  present  that  these 
shows  tend  to  keep  the  public  interested. 
The  following  awards  were  made  by  the 
judges,  Messrs.  Junge,  Eieman  and  Hat- 
field: 

Two  pans  tulips,  M.  Nelson,  Indian- 
apolis, second;   no  first.

DAVENPORT,  lA. 

The  annual  installation  of  officers  of 
the  Tri-City  Florists'  Association  was 
held  Thursday  evening,  April  11,  at 
Fejervary  park,  and  one  of  the  most 
successful  and  enjoyable  meetings  of  the 
year  was  held.  It  was  ladies '  night  and 
a  large  number  were  present.  John  T. 
Temple,  retiring  president  of  the  asso- 
ciation, was  the  installing  officer  and  the 
following  were  seated:  President,  Wil- 
liam Knees,  of  Moline;  vice-presidents, 
Henry  Pauli,  of  Davenport;  Henry 
Meyer,  of  Rock  Island,  and  Julius 
Staack,  of  Moline;  secretary,  John 
Staack,  of  Moline;  treasurer,  Adolph 
Arp,  of  Davenport;  financial  secretary, 
Theo.  Ewoldt,  of  Davenport;  trustees, 
Peter  Becker,  Frank  Wolz  and  Henry 
Gaethje. 

After  the  new  officers  took  their 
places  John  Temple  gave  an  address  and 
William  Knees  responded.  Five-minute 
talks  were  given  by  the  other  new  offi- 
cers. The  discussion  during  the  evening 
was  on  ' '  The  Most  Profitable  Plants  for 
the  Spring  Trade."  Following  this  sup- 
per was  served.  The  next  meeting  will 
be  with  Henry  Meyer,  of  Rock  Island. 
The  topic  for  discussion  will  be  '  *  Peony

With  favorable  weather  conditions 
next  year  Chicago  will  show  the  American

west  to  see. 

The  boat  from  Bermuda  reaching  New 
York  April  12  brought  thirty-six  boxes 
of  cut  lilies  and  27,359  crates  of  onions!

July  weather  in  March  and  November 
weather  in  April  is  enough  to  upset  the 
best  laid  plans  of  gfrowers. 

.  Prices  on  ribbons  have  gone  up'  and  it 
is  stated  that  further  advances  are  cer- 
tain to  be  the  result  of  the  rapidly  in- 
creasing cost  of  raw  material. 

One  retail  florist  supplies  the  laun- 
dries of  his  town  with  free  blanks  on 
which  to  make  out  their  bills,  and  prints 
his  advertisement  at  the  foot  and  on  the 
back. 

For  a  couple  of  dollars  your  local 
printer  will  get  you  up  some  letter-heads ; 
then  when  you  send  away  an  order  for 
stock  the  advertiser  who  receives  it  will 
think  he  is  dealing  with  a  business  man. 

In  the  advertisement  of  Peter  Rein- 
berg,  page  1639  of  last  issue,  a  clerical 
error  made  the  price  of  Richmond,  Bride, 
Maid,  Uncle  John,  Chatenay  and  Ivory 
rose  plants  in  2% -inch  pots  $20  per  thou- 
sand, Avhen  $22.50  was  intended. 

An  employee  of  a  greenhouse  near 
Buffalo  drank  one  of  the  nicotine  ex- 
tracts, mistaking  it  for  whiskey,  and 
narrowly  escaped  with  his  life.  These 
preparations  never  should  be  left  care- 
lessly about,  for  nicotine  is  poisonous. 

A  NEW  proprietor  lias  just  taken  hold 
of  a  greenhouse  where  the  prejudices  of 
the  former  management  were  so  strong 
that  the  use  of  tobacco,  even  as  a  fumi- 
gant,  was  barred.  It  is  interesting  to 
note  that  the  new  owner  reports  his  first 
task  to  have  been  to  clear  the  place  of 
insects. 

One  of  the  results  of  the  general  pub- 
lic appreciation  of  the  value  of  spray- 
ing trees  and  shrubs  is  the  opening  of 
a  new  field  of  business.  In  several  local- 
ities gardeners  have  procured  adequate 
spraying  apparatus  and  offer  their  serv- 
ices to  the  unequipped  public.  It  is  a 
fairly  profitable  business  and  capable  of 
great    development.

THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Henry  J.  McGrady. 

Henry  J.  McGrady  was  accidentally 
killed  April  6  while  at  work  at  the  rear 
of  his  home  on  Sumner  street,  Newton 
Center,  Mass.  He  was  repairing  water 
pipes,  about  eight  feet  below  the  sur- 
face of  the  ground,  when  a  large  mass 
of  loose  soil  suddenly  caved  in,  burying 
him  completely.  His  cries  were  heard 
by  his  sister,  Nellie,  who  summoned  as- 
sistance, but  when  extricated  he  was 
unconscious.  Though  two  physicians 
worked  over  him  nearly  an  hour  they 
were  unable  to  resuscitate  him.  Mr. 
McGrady  was  prominent  as  a  grower  for 
the  Boston  cut  flower  market. 

Jesse  Lee. 

Jesse  Lee,  of  Marshall,  Mich.,  died  at 
his  home  on  South  Jefferson  street  at 
six  o'clock  Saturday  morning,  March  30, 
after  an  illness  of  three  weeks.  The  de- 
ceased was  nearly  85  years  old  and  his 
demise  was  largely  due  tr  his  advanced 
vears.     He  had  lived  at  Marshall  forty- 


seven  years,  having  come  to  Marshall 
directly  from  Kent,  England,  where  he 
was  born.  The  only  near  relative  iu 
this  country  is  the  daughter,  Miss  Jessie 
Lee.  The  business  will  be  continued  by 
Miss  Lee  for  the  present. 


THE  GLASS  MARKET. 

Those   who    are   building    greenhouse-, 
for  this  season  and  have  not  yet  secured 
their  glass  would  do  well  to  note  that  ai 
glass  factories  making  hand-blown  glas^ 
will  go  out  of  blast  April  20.     This  i 
considerably  earlier  than  usual  and  it  :^ 
intimated  that  because  of  labor  trouble, 
and  other  factors  the  resumption  of  pro 
duction    will    not   be    as    early     in    th 
autumn  as  usual;  indeed,  well-inf orme  * 
glass   jobbers   give   it  as  their   opinio, 
that  no  new  glass  will  be  made  until  we]' 
along  toward  December.    There  are  nov 
less   than   the   ordinary   stocks  on  hani. 
and   a  number   of   the  greenhouse  sizes 
promise    to    be    difficult   to    procure   be- 
fore   the    season    is    much    farther    ad- 
vanced.    It  is  stated  that  the  stocks  ar< 
lowest  on  16x18  and  16x24.    Prices  havf 
been   advancing   all    season    and   a   still 
further  advance  is  expected  during  the 
summer. 


THE  READERS'  CORNER. 


Everblooming:  Hydrangea. 

I  wish  to  ask,  through  the  Review,  if 
any  of  the  florists  ever  has  had  a  for- 
tune in  a  dream,  and  been  badly  disap- 
pointed when  he  woke  up? 

To  make  my  story  short,  I  have  a  lit- 
tle pet  hydrangea,  a  cutting  from  an 
Otaksa,  rooted  in  April,  1906,  and  potted 
in  a  2 14 -inch  pot.  By  the  end  of  June 
it  commenced  to  bloom  and  continued 
blooming.  Today,  though  not  more  than 
twelve  inches  high,  it  has  one  bloom  and 
four  buds,  I  have  had  a  great  deal  of 
trouble  to  get  cuttings  from  it  to  root, 
but  finally  succeeded  in  getting  six  cut- 
tings started  in  March  of  this  year  and 
now  they  are  in  pots  and  every  one  has  a 
bud.  What  I  wish  to  know  is  this:  Is 
there  any  ever-blooming  hydrangea  on 
the  market?  If  there  is  such  a  thing  I 
will  surely  have  a  rude  awakening  from 
my  dream  and  be  badly  disappointed, 
as  I  think  a  great  deal  of  the  little  pet. 
and  I  am  going  to  get  up  stock  of  it  at 
any  rate. 

Everything  is  moving  along  smoothly 
and  business  keeping  up  fairly  well.  If 
the  winter  stays  with  us  as  it  has  the 
last  few  days  we  will  be  taking  a  sleigh 
ride,  as  the  snow  was  two  inches  deep 
April  10.  All  the  fruit  and  early 
vegetables  in  this  section  are  killed.  The 
work  on  my  new  carnation  house  will  be 
commenced  in  a  week  or  ten  days,  as  I 
want  the  house  completed  in  time  for 
early  planting.  Simon  J.  Hidek. 


More  About  Mice. 

I  see  in  the  issue  of  April  4  that  F. 
W.  V.  is  troubled  with  mice.  If  he  will 
do  as  I  did  he  will  get  rid  of  them. 
After  they  ate  fifty  Mme.  Salleroi 
geraniums  in  4-inch  pots  I  procured  a 
"Surecatch"  mousetrap,  made  by  the 
Lovell  Mfg.  Co.,  Erie,  Pa.  The  cost 
was  only  5  cents.  I  spread  a  few  pieces 
of  apple  about  the  trap  for  a  couple  of 
nights,  leaving  the  trap  not  baited,  so 
they  could  get  acquainted.  Then  I  set 
the  trap  and  baited  it  with  apple.  In 
two  days  I  caught  all  the  mice.     R.  N.

CHICAGO. 


The  Great  Central  Market. 

The  Chicago  market  is  known  far  and 
wide  for  its  violent  fluctuations.  "When 
j)rices  are  on  the  topmost  pinnacle  it 
often  is  but  a  matter  of  hours  until  they 
are  at  the  foot  of  the  toboggan;  and 
last  week  the  ascent  was  of  equal  celer- 
ity. The  cool  weather  following  Easter 
had  produced  little  apparent  effect  in 
.size  of  crops  until  Thursday,  April  11. 
The  next  day  found  receipts  reduced  at 
least  one-half  and  it  also  found  most  of 
the  wholesale  houses  with  many  thousand- 
lot  orders  for  Friday  shipment  which  it 
Mas  impossible  for  them  to  fill.  The 
market  was  firm  in  all  departments.  Top 
prices  did  not  advance  to  any  marked 
extent,  but  there  was  no  longer  need  of 
any  sacrifice  sales,  so  that  average  prices 
received  the  latter  part  of  the  week  were 
a  wonderful  improvement  over  those  re- 
corded the  first  of  the  week  and  the 
preceding  week. 

Monday  found  the  market  with  in- 
creased supplies  of  stock  and  a  brisk 
demand.  The  telegraph  orders  made  it 
apparent  that  the  cold  weather  has  short- 
ened crops  everywhere  through  the  Chi- 
<?ago  territory,  which  means  from  Pitts- 
burg to  Denver. 

There  are  abundant  supplies  of  roses 
of  all  kinds  to  take  care  of  the  legiti- 
mate demand.  The  Beauty  market,  par- 
ticularly, is  stronger.  Monday  there  was 
a  special  demand  for  long  Beauties  for 
use  at  the  council.  The  quality  of  all 
roses  is  excellent  and  the  demana  for 
shorts  for  funeral  work  is  enough  to 
keep  them  well  cleaned  up. 


The  carnation  market  opened  strong 
Monday,  supplies  having  been  reduced 
much  more  than  in  any  other  depart- 
ment.. Single  violets  are  gone  and  the 
doubles  appear  to  be  on  their  last  legs; 
a  few  warm  days  will  finish  them.  Tu- 
lips, daffodils  and  jonquils  are  less 
abundant.  There  continue  to  be  plenty 
of  Easter  lilies  for  all  requirements,  also 
callas,  but  the  glut  of  the  latter  appears 
to  have  passed.  Sweet  peas  are  wanted 
and  all  good  ones  clean  up  quickly.  Con- 
siderable quantities  of  pansies  are  re- 
ceived and  sell  briskly.  Small  quantities 
of  southern  lilac  are  received,  but  the 
stock  is  poor  and  does  not  sell.  Green 
goods  continue  in  first-class  demand. 

Demand  had  slowed  down  by  Wednes- 
day, as  it  always  does  in  the  middle  of 
the  week,  but  stock  was  clearing  well. 

Qub  Meeting. 

The  attendance  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Florists'  Club  April  11  was  not  so  large 
as  had  been  anticipated,  but  those  who 
stayed  away  were  also  losers. 

The  Easter  business  was  the  theme  for 
discussion.  All  the  retailers  agreed  it 
was  the  biggest  Easter  on  record,  all 
spoke  of  the  increase  in  the  sales  of 
plants  and  all  said  bulb  stock  in  pots 
and  pans  sold  especially  well.  Louis 
Wittbold  said  they  carried  over  a  few 
plants,  but  cleaned  them  all  up  the  fol- 
lowing week.  W.  L.  Palinsky  said  the 
only  trouble  was  that  all  the  retailers 
wanted  their  stock  delivered  at  the  same 
moment. 

George  Asmus  said  he  wanted  to  put 
in  a  knock  on  the  single  lily  in  a  pot; 
that    its    delivery    in    any    considerable 


number  of  orders  at  a  busy  time  is 
"something  fierce''  and  that  it  seldom 
gives  satisfaction  to  customers,  because 
they  will  not  give  water  enough  to  make 
it  open  its  buds.  He  strongly  urged 
that  retailers  push  the  sale  of  cut  lilies 
instead  of  the  single  plant  in  a  pot,  as 
affording  better  satisfaction  to  all  con- 
cerned. He  gave  it  as  his  opinion  that 
the  Crimson  Eambler  has  had  its  day, 
stating  that  every  retailer  who  bought 
it  in  any  quantity  for  Easter  had  some 
left.  He  urged  a  greater  variety  of 
stock.  Louis  Wittbold  said  his  firm  has 
tried  a  great  variety  of  stock,  but  has 
thus  far  failed  to  find  anything  which 
would  pay,  either  in  a  wholesale  or  re- 
tail way,  for  the  attention  diverted  from 
the  staples. 

P.  J,  Hauswirth  gave  an  account  of 
his  recent  trip  to  Philadelphia,  New 
York  and  the  Washington  rose  show. 
One  item  of  information  not  heretofore 
published  was  that  M.  H.  Walsh  paid 
$195  express  charges  from  Woods  Hole, 
Mass..  to  Washington  on  his  exhibit. 
The  Kose  Society  meets  in  Chicago  next 
March.  Mr.  Hauswirth  spoke  of  the 
variegated  bougainvillea,  Ficus  pan- 
durata  and  gardenias  with  fifteen  to 
twenty  buds  selling  at  $1.25  and  $1.50 
as  among  the  good  plants  he  saw  at 
Philadelphia. 

A  discussion  as  to  how  the  club  may 
have  a  voice  in  the  management  of  the 
new  small  parks  caused  E.  C.  Aniling 
to  bring  up  the  subject  of  securing 
greater  publicity  for  the  cut  flower  in- 
terests. Various  methods  of  getting  into 
the  newspapers  with  helpful  suggestions 
to  flower  buyers  were  talked  over.  Some- 
thing definite  and  of  value  to  every  re-

Yodogawa,  a  beautiful  Japanese  sort, 
and  the  pink  spiraea,  Peachblossom ;  also 
a  fine  Azalea  Mollis. 

Ahead  of  the  Demand. 

In  the  matter  of  this  season's  crop 
of  white  lilac,  now  nearing  an  end,  the 
A.  L.  Eandall  Co.  has  been  well  ahead 
of  the  demand.  The  crop  has  brought  a 
better  average  price  than  in  any  pre- 
vious year.  As  soon  as  it  was  known 
when  the  first  lot  would  be  ready  the 
date  was  advertised,  so  that  retailers 
could  know  in  advance  when  the  lilac 
would  be  available.  The  result  was  that 
advance  orders  were  booked  for  about 
all  the  first  lot.  Pursuing  this  line,  the 
supply  was  never  greater  than  the  de- 
mand and  prices  were  held  firm  all  sea- 
son. It  never  is  easy  to  put  prices  up 
after  a  congestion  has  forced  them  down. 

Foley's  Two  Factories. 

Pretty  nearly  any  one  would  be  satis- 
fied to  run  just  one  greenhouse  material 
mill,  but  for  the  next  fortnight  the 
Foley  Mfg.  Co.  will  run  two.  After 
vexatious  delays  the  new  building  is 
ready  for  occupancy,  at  just  about  the 
busiest  season.  So  one  machine  is  being 
taken  down  at  a  time  and  set  running 
in  the  new  location,  thus  keeping  two 
factories  going  instead  of  one  and  turn- 
ing out  orders  as  usual.  The  work  of 
removal  is  expected  to  be  completed 
about  May  1. 

Reinberg's  Orchids. 

George  Beinberg  has  received  a  part 
of  his  shijvnent  of  orchid  plants  from 
the  Julius  Eoehrs  Co.,  Rutherford,  N.  J. 
The  shipment  consisted  of  fifty  less  than 
half  the  number  of  plants  ordered  and 
it  made  a  solid  carload.  Another  car  is 
expected  in  a  few  days. 

Sweet  Peas  aod  **  Spinach.'^ 

One  of  E.  C.  Amling's  growers,  who 
has  been  sending  in  sweet  peas  ever 
since  the  first  of  the  year,  is  approaching 
the  end  of  his  crop,  with  the  result  that 
the   stems   are  too   short  to  be  salable.

He  therefore  cuts  each  flower  with  fif- 
teen inches  to  eighteen  inches  of  the  vine 
and  bunches  peas,  "spinach"  and  all. 
It  may  not  sound  very  good,  but  the  re- 
tailers take  all  offerings  and  call  for 
more  at  prices  which  make  the  "spin- 
ach" a  decidedly  profitable  part  of  the 
crop.  They  say  that  not  only  does  the 
vine  suflSce  for  stem,  but  the  green  saves 
much  work. 

Kennicott's  New  Store. 

Kennicott  Bros.  Co.  is  now  nicely  in-

Wabash  avenue.  The  cut  flower  depart- 
ment is  along  the  front,  the  ofl5ce  in  the 
middle  of  the  store  and  the  wire  work 
department  at  the  rear.  On  first  enter- 
ing everyone  is  surprised  at  the  size  of 
the  store.  The  basement  extends  under 
the  street  on  two  sides  and  there  is  con- 
siderably more  fioor  space  than  in  the  old 
quarters  on  Randolph  street.  The  light 
is  excellent  in  the  cut  flower  department, 
the  room  is  cool  and  excellently  adapted 
to  the  purpose.

Flower  Show. 

Vice-President  E.  Wienhoeber,  who 
also  is  treasurer,  occupied  the  chair  at 
the  quarterly  meeting  of  the  Horticul- 
tural Society,  at  13  Congress  street, 
April  12.  Much  of  the  time  was  de- 
voted to  the  details  of  issuing  some  forty 
medals  already  awarded,  the  dies  now 
being  ready. 

It  developed  that  if  the  horse  show  is 
abandoned  this  year  the  flower  show  will 
be  a  bigger  society  feature  than  ever; 
but  the  horse  show  people  have  an  option 
on  the  Coliseum  for  the  only  open  week 
in  November  and  have  not  decided 
whether  or  not  to  give  way  to  the  flower 
show. 

The  executive  committee  will  hold  a 
meeting  at  13  Congress  street  Friday 
afternoon,  April  19,  at  three  o'clock. 

Various  Notci. 

O.  Johnson  has  retired  from  the  firm 
of  Kruchton  &  Johnson.  The  business 
hereafter  will  be  conducted  by  John  J. 
Kruchten. 

Advices  from  Sarcoxie,  Mo.,  are  to  the 
effect  that  peony  shipments  will  begin 
the  latter  part  of  the  current  week.  No 
word  has  been  received  from  southern 
Illinois,  but  it  is  thought  the  cold 
weather  has  had  no  effect  on  the  local 
peonies. 

There  was  a  big  display  of  flowers  at 
the  council  chamber  Monday  night,  when 
the  new  mayor  and  aldermen  took  their 
seats.  In  recent  years  flowers  have  been 
barred  from  the  council  chamber  on  these 
occasions,  but  this  was  the  first  time  a 
republican  mayor  has  been  installed  in 
ten  years  and  a  change   in  this  custom 


as  well  as  others  was  in  order.  Henry 
Klunder  made  for  the  post-office  em- 
ployees the  big  floral  mail-box  which 
stood  at  the  mayor's  right. 

E.  Wienhoeber  Co.  had  the  decoration 
at  the  Fourth  Presbyterian  church  for 
the  funeral  of  James  H.  Eckels  on  the 
afternoon  of  April  16.  There  was  a  large 
amount  of  work  for  this  occasion,  dis- 
tributed among  a  large  number  of  re- 
tailers, for  Mr.  Eckels  was  widely  con- 
nected. Many  telegraphic  orders  were 
received  from  New  York  and  other  cities. 

Wietor  Bros,  are  cutting  some  fine 
Kate  Moulton  roses.  The  color  is  ex- 
quisite. 

A.  L.  Vaughan,  of  Vaughan  &  Sperry, 
has  purchased  and  moved  into  a  new 
home  at  Oak  Park. 

Jj.  Baumann  &  Co.  are  making  steady 
growth  and  recently  have  enlarged  their 
quarters  at  78  and  80  Wabash  avenue, 
above  Bassett  &  Washburn  and  E.  H. 
Hunt. 

Bassett  &  Washburn  report  an  excel- 
lent April  business.  C.  L.  Washburn 
says  it  has  been  as  good  as  they  possibly 
could  ask. 

Jensen  &  Dekema  have  acquired  an 
interest  in  W.  N.  Kudd's  light  pink  and 
scarlet  seedling  carnations,  which  are  to 
be  sent  out  next  year. 

Percy  Jones  says  that  every  one  at  the 
Growers'  Market  has  been  selling  out 
promptly  since  April  12. 

Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.  says  that  the  cold 
weather  has  not  affected  rose  crops  to 
any  considerable  degree,  but  carnations 
have  shortened  up  materially. 

Under  the  new  organization  of  the 
city  council,  Alderman  Keinberg  will  be 
Kept  busy.    He  is  a  member  of  the  com- 


mittees on  finance,  judiciary,  light, 
streets  and  alleys  and  of  the  special  com- 
mittee on  compensation. 

Last  Saturday  the  Chicago  Eose  Co. 
had  on  exhibitibii  three  vases  of  Queen 
Beatrice  roses  sent  by  F.  H.  Kramer 
from  Washington.  Many  of  the  local 
growers  called  to  see  it,  having  been  no- 
tified by  Mr.  Kramer  that  it  would  be 
on  exhibition.  The  variety  is  a  cross  of 
Liberty  and  Chatenay,  much  resembling 
the  latter,  and  is  to  be  distributed  next 
season. 

It  is  stated  that  George  Collins  has 
abandoned,  at  least  for  the  present,  his 
plan  of  going  into  business  for  himself. 
As  recently  reported  in  the  Review,  Mr. 
Collins  had  formed  a  partnership  with  a 
board  of  trade  man  named  Powell  and 
bought  property  for  a  range  of  green- 
houses near  Batavia,  111.  They  also  had 
ordered  material  for  the  houses,  but  fail- 
ing to  find  water  on  the  property  they 
canceled  the  orders. 

Visitors  this  week  included  George  T. 
Elliott  and  George  C.  Harbison,  of 
Brighton,  Mass. 

Frank  Garland,  at  Des  Plaines,  will 
soon  start  tearing  down  five  of  his  oldest 
houses  and  replacing  them  with  two  new 
high  structures,  each  41x150.  He  will 
employ  iron  posts  and  a  form  of  truss 
construction  to  do  away  with  purlin  sup- 
ports. He  will  use  his  own  make  of 
cement  bench;  he  is  building  for  pos- 
terity in  this  respect.  He  says  he  ex- 
pects to  plant  roses  on  the  benches  be- 
fore the  houses  are  completed.

Lubliner  &  Trinz,  known  in  the  local

ested,  will  be  opened  with  appropriate 
eclat  on  the  evening  of  April  24.  A 
•lelegation  of  Chicago  florists  will  lend 
distinction  to  the  occasion  and  there  will 
be  elaborate  floral  decorations. 

The  grand  opera  season  made  quite  a 
little  good  work  for  the  leading  retailers, 
most  of  it  for  luncheon  and  dinner 
decorations.  Hauswirth,  in  the  Annex 
and  just  across  the  street  from  the 
theater,  was  kept  busy. 

A  little-seen  flower  is  Allium  Neapol- 
itanum,  of  which  C.  W.  McKellar  has 
been  handling  a  few.  The  odor  is 
against  it. 

From  the  number  of  azaleas  seen  in 
the  stores  the  last  two  weeks  it  appears 
that  a  good  many  must  have  failed  of  a 
sale  at  Easter. 

Evanston  papers  report  that  P.  M. 
Broadbeck  is  investing  $5,000  in  new 
glass  this  season. 

M.  Bloy,  who  has  been  in  charge  of 
Gasser's  Bocky  Biver  plant,  is  here  from 
Cleveland  on  a  visit. 


West  Chester,  Pa.  —  The  Jacobs 
Nitro-Culture  Co.  is  erecting  a  large 
greenhouse. 

Lowell,  Mass. — Morse  &  Beals  have 
had  a  large  spring  season  since  Easter. 
They  decorated  for  the  Dempsey,  Meigs 
and  Chadwick  receptions,  the  three 
largest  Lowell  has  seen  for  some  years. 

Meadville,  Pa. — George  W.  Haas  & 
Son  report  that  business  this  year  is  bet- 
ter than  ever  before,  especially  at  Easter, 
when  the  volume  of  sales  was  fifty  per 
cent  ahead  of  last  year.  All  flowering 
plants  sold  well. 


CINQNNATL 


The  Market. 


It  would  seem  that  winter  does  not 
want  to  let  go  its  hold  this  year,  as  dur- 
ing the  last  week  we  have  been  having 
temperature  Delow  freezing  every  night. 
Much  damage  has  been  done  to  all  out- 
door growing  things.  With  the  excep- 
tion of  apples  the  fruit  crop  here  will 
be  almost  a  total  failure.  Outdoor  flow- 
ers have  suffered  in  proportion.  The 
green  leaves  that  were  on  the  lilac  bushes 
and  other  shrubs  have  turned  brown  and 
shriveled,  and  the  buds  are  hanging  down 
like  rags,  all  of  the  life  frozen  out  of 
them.  Even  the  foliage  on  large  trees, 
such  as  the  elm  and  the  maple,  has  been 
frozen.  The  weather  man  is  promising 
us  warmer  temperatures  now,  and  it  is  to 
be  hoped  that  he  knows  what  he  is  talk- 
ing about. 

What  effect  this  cold  spell  will  have 
upon  business  is  hard  to  say,  but  with 
all  of  the  outdoor  stock  out  of  the  way, 
and  with  the  scarcity  of  indoor  stock 
which  is  bound  to  result,  it  ought  to 
make  things  pretty  lively,  with  prices 
good  and  the  supply  scarcely  equal  to 
the  demand. 

At  present  business  is  nothing  extra, 
the  demand  being  spasmodic,  but  there 
is  a  gradual  tendency  toward  a  rise  in 
the  prices  of  all  flowers.  The  supply  has 
let  down  considerably.  Easter  lilies  are 
still  in  oversupply,  but  it  appears  that 
within  a  few  days  they  also  will  be  good 
property.  So,  taking  all  things  into  con- 
sideration, it  would  look  as  if  the  next 
few  weeks  would  bring  forth  some  first- 
class  business. 


Various  Notes. 

Erank  Huntsman  brought  in  a  few 
crimson  seedling  carnations  from  his 
Kentucky  range  and  several  of  them 
showed  much  prorftise.  One  ^hich  was 
almost  identical  with  Victory  showed 
signs  of  being  a  comer.  Another,  after 
the  type  of  Dorothy,  is  of  good  color  and 
from  all  accounts  is  a  great  bloomer  and 
a  money-maker. 

During  a  severe  wind  storm  last  week 
B.  P.  Critchell's  greenhouses  in  Avon- 
dale  were  damaged  to  the  extent  of  some 
eight  to  ten  boxes  of  glass.  Mr.  Critchell 
says  that  for  a  time  it  looked  as  if  the 
entire  plant  would  be  wrecked.  No  dam- 
age is  reported  from  other  quarters. 

April  11  saw  the  opening  of  the  base- 
ball season  in  this  city.  The  writer  could 
not  withstand  the  temptation  to  be  pres- 
ent, in  spite  of  the  cold  weather,  and 
among  the  florists  there  he  saw  Julius 
Baer,  C.  E.  Critchell,  William  Murphy 
and  Ed  Murphy.  Our  little  second  base- 
man, Miller  Huggins,  was  presented  with 
a  mammoth  bunch  of  American  Beauties 
which  came  from  Mr.  Baer's  store. 

C.  H.  Maynard  and  wife,  of  Detroit,

GLEN  COVE.  N.  Y. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Nassau 
County  Horticultural  Society  was  held  at 
the  Oriental  hotel,  Wednesday  evening, 
April  10.  Six  new  members  were  elected 
and  four  propositions  for  membership 
were  read. 

The  highest  number  of  points  was 
won  by  William  Eccles,  of  Oyster  Bay, 
Adolph  Janecke,  with  John  Lewis  Childs, 
at  t'loral  Park,  exhibited  a  superb  speci- 
men of  oncidium.  Henry  F.  Meyer 
showed  a  fine  display  of  carnations. 
James  Duthie,  of  Oyster  Bay,  showed 
splendid  pink  carnations.  Valentine  Cle- 
fres,  of  the  F.  S.  Smithers  place,  exhib- 
ited fine  Victory  carnations,  and  three 
superb  heads  of  lettuce.  Charles  Lenker, 
of  Freeport,  showed  fine  sweet  peas,  and 
James  Holloway  a  variety  of  double 
wallflowers. 

The  chief  topic  of  discussion  was  the 
spraying  of  trees  for  the  prevention  of 
the  San  Jose  scale.  Opinion  was  equally 
divided  between  the  lime,  sulphur  and 
salt  solution,  and  the  kerosene  emulsions. 

The  annual  fall  exhibition  was  dis- 
cussed. It  has  been  decided  to  keep  the 
exhibition  open  three  days  this  year  in- 
stead of  two.  The  dates  chosen  are  No- 
vember 6  to  8. 


PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising  Eastern  Market. 

The  supply  of  flowers  coming  into  the 
market  has  been  materially  decreased  by 
the  unusually  cold  weather  at  the  close 
of  last  and  the  beginning  of  the  present 
week.  The  demand  is  about  the  same  as 
it  was  one  week  ago.  There  is  a  fair 
amount  of  shipping  of  the  better  grades 
of  many  varieties  of  flowers,  and  a  fair 
local  demand,  but  business  has  not  much 
snap  and  there  is  considerable  stock  left 
for  the  street  men,  who  make  heroic 
efforts  to  dispose  of  it. 

The  features  of  the  market  are  the 
improved  demand  for  colored  carnations, 
the  best  Enchantress  advancing  to  the 
high-water  mark  made  a  week  ago  by 
the  best  white.  So  active  was  the  de- 
mand that  even  the  lower  grades  ad- 
vanced in  all  colored  varieties.  Sweet 
peas  continue  popular,  the  choice  flowers 
selling  at  good  prices.     Lavender  is  in

demand,  also  Lovely  or  Daybreak  Pink, 
with  but  small  supply.  Valley  is  selling 
well,  but  there  is  no  market  for  either 
Easter  or  calla  lilies,  except  on  rare  oc- 
casions. Daisies  are  greatly  improved  in 
quality.  There  is  a  fair  demand  for  both 
yellow  and  the  finer  white.  Gardenias 
are  in  oversupply.  Cattleyas  continue 
scarce.  C.  Skinneri  has  made  its  appear- 
ance. Daffodils  are  of  good  quality,  the 
single  variety  Emperor  being  especially 
fine.  Southern  shipments  are  reaching 
here  in  much  better  condition  and  prices 
have  advanced  sharply  on  all  salable 
stock.  Tulips  are  also  coming  in  from 
the  south.  Some  have  excellent  flowers, 
but  are  short  in  stem. 

Smilax  continues  scarce,  with  prices  at 
high-water  mark.  Asparagus  plumosus 
is  plentiful  and  in  brisk  demand.  Ferns 
are  still  scarce,  also  wild  smilax. 

Regarding  roses,  Beauties  are  now  low 


enough  in  price  to  attract  the  moderate 
buyers.  In  fact,  they  are  as  good  value 
as  anything  on  the  market  at  present 
quotations.  The  supply  has  shortened 
slightly.  Some  extra  fine  Richmond  are 
coming  in.  Liberty,  Bride  and  Maid  are 
also  of  good  quality.  Short-stemmed 
roses  are  still  too  plentiful.

houses  at  Riverton  would  puzzle  the 
ordinary  florist.  It  puzzles  Phil.  About 
the  middle  of  winter  a  new  house  or 
range  is  decided  on.  The  posts  go  in 
during  a  mild  spell — good,  sound,  locust 
posts.  Trees  from  poor  ground  give 
posts  that  a  saw  won't  cut  easily  after

they  have  been  in  position  a  few  years. 
Then  the  house  goes  up  in  any  kind  of 
^veather  and  by  spring  all  is  ready.  It 
i.s  wonderful. 

The  fern  range,  Mr.  Clark's  special 
'liarge,  contains  some  novelties  in  the 
prolific  nephrolepis  family.  N.  Clarkii 
is  a  sport  from  N.  Whitmani,  I  think;  a 
\  cry  pretty  thing,  evidently  quite  distinct 
to  the  experts,  but  the  tyro  required  time 
'">r  study  to  make  sure  that  character 
"light  be  clearly  comprehended.  The 
specimen  was  graceful  and  very  pretty. 
\.  gracillimum  is  the  new  variety  to  be 
^ent  out  by  H.  H.  Barrows  &  Son,  of 
Whitman,  Mass.  It,  too,  is  very  pretty. 
'\'.  Whitmani  and  N.  Scottii  are  planted 
•Hit  in  quantity  for  runners.  Of  the 
former,  an  order  has  been  booked  for 
twenty-five  plants  to  be  grown  as  large 
•IS  possible  by  September.  They  are  now 
'^n  pedestals,  nice  plants  in  10-inch  pans. 
They  say  at  Biverton  that  the  house  for 


Adiantum  Farleyense  is  all  right.  The 
plants  endorse  this  statement,  no  doubt, 
but  the  man  is  behind  the  guns,  you 
know;  don't  forget  the  man  behind  the 
guns.  Pteris  Wilsoni  is  considered  the 
star  of  the  pteris  family  for  fern  dishes. 
It  is  grown  in  immense  numbers,  the 
seedlings  pricked  off  in  flats  alone  filling 
a  side  bench. 

The  kentia  houses  were  a  pretty  pic- 
ture. Here  Mr.  Ruppert  picked  out  a 
sample  plant  to  be  the  companion  of  his 
travels.  I  wish  you  could  see  that  plant. 
It  is  a  beauty,  but  unfortunately  there 
was  not  another  quite  equal  to  it  in  Riv- 
erton  or  probably  anywhere  else.  It  was 
condemned  for  being  too  good  and  sor- 
rowfully replaced  by  Mr.  Ruppert. 
Orders  must  be  true  to  sample.  You 
must  look  for  that  kentia  wnen  you  go 
to  Riverton  and  you  also  must  look  for 
the  eleven  plants  of  Verschaffeltii  splen- 
dens  with  their  queen  in  the  center.

Alfred  Burton  entertained  the  di- 
rectors of  the  Flower  Market  at  dinner 
at  his  home  in  Wyndmoor  Tuesday  even- 
ing of  last  week. 

Mrs.  Edgar,  of  Twenty-third  street 
and  Ridge  avenue,  has  sold  her  retail 
business  to  a  Mr.  McGrath. 

One  of  our  most  prominent  retailers 
says  that  one  of  his  earliest  recollections 
is  of  a  Boston  rose  grower  who  shipped 
Bon  Silene,  Safrano  and  a  few  La 
Marque  to  his  father's  store  regularly, 
explaining  that  in  order  to  have  enough 
roses  in  winter  he  was  obliged  to  have 
twice  as  many  as  he  needed  in  spring 
and  fall.  Those  conditions  existed  then 
and  they  exist  now. 

A  pleasant  meeting  occurred  in  the  S. 
S.  Pennock-Meehan  place  on  Ludlow 
street  last  Monday,  when  Stephen  Mor- 
tensen  and  John  Jensen,  both  natives  of 
Denmark,  met  after  many  years.  One  is 
successful  as  a  grower,  the  other  as  a 
retailer.     Both  are  hard  workers. 

M.  Rice  &  Co.  have  exclusive  control 
of  a  very  neat  cemetery  vase.  The  vase 
is  about  4x7  inches,  supported  by  a 
stand  that  can  be  firmly  set  in  the 
ground.     It  is  practical  and  inexpensive. 

Wm.  P.  Reilly  is  doing  a  nice  busi- 
ness at  3005  Kensington  avenue. 

The  Leo  Niessen  Co.  is  receiving 
choice  single  daffodils,  also  lavender  and 
pale  pink  sweet  peas. 

Berger  Bros,  are  now  fully  established 
in  their  new  quarters,  which  have  a 
bright,  business-like  appearance. 

The  S.  S.  PennockvMoehan  Co.  is  hav- 
ing a  run  on  lavender,  sweet  peas  and 
wild  smilax. 

W.  E.  McKissick  is  receiving  lupinus 
in  several  colors,  a  very  pretty  thing. 

David  Rust,  the  popular  secretary  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Horticultural  Society, 
happened  in  fumigating  day  in  the 
Beauty   houses   at    Wyndmoor. 

Henry  Bauer's  many  friends  have 
greatly  missed  him   from   108.

adopted  and  other  work  toward  the  com- 
pletion of  the  organization  was  accom- 
plished. 


ST.  LOUIS. 

The  Market. 

Trade  for  the  last  week  has  not  been 
especially  satisfactory.  While  there  is  a 
spurt  now  and  then,  with  funeral  work, 
a  wedding  or  two,  and  dinners,  we  are 
not  what  one  would  term  busy.  The 
growers  and  nurserymen  are  the  ones 
who  are  busy  at  present,  and  even  they 
were  cut  oflE  by  the  cold  weather  we  had 
last  week. 

At  the  wholesale  houses  stock  is  not  so 
plentiful  as  a  week  ago.  April  15  con- 
signments were  small  and  only  about  half 
the  standing  orders  are  being  filled.  Of 
course,  this  state  of  affairs  brought 
prices  up  a  little  and  put  a  stop  to  job 
lot  sales.  There  are  some  fine  shipments 
of  roses  coming  in.  Long  Beauties  have 
been  selling  cheaply.  White  and  En- 
chantress carnations  have  the  call,  but 
fancy  Lawson,  Fisher  and  Prosperity 
meet  with  good  sale.  The  wholesalers 
are  looking  for  a  scarcity  in  these  for 
the  next  ten  days. 

Harrisii  and  callas  were  overplentiful 
last  week  and  cheap  in  price.  A  good 
supply  of  lily  of  the  valley  is  in  the 
market.  Other  bulbous  stock  is  scarce 
and  so  are  sweet  peas,  for  which  there 
is  quite  a  demand.     Common   ferns  are 


poor   and    higher    in    price.      Smilax    is 
coming  in  better. 

Florists'  Club  Meeting:. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  St.  Louis 
Florists '  Club  was  held  in  the  new  rooms 
in  the  Burlington  building,  810  Olive 
street,  on  the  afternoon  of  April  11. 
Twenty  members  attended  and  were  de- 
lighted with  the  new  quarters.  This 
being  our  annual  rose  meeting,  several 
vases'  of  extra  fine  blooms  were  on  ex- 
hibition. J.  F.  Ammann,  of  Edwards 
ville,  showed  exceptionally  fine  Richmond, 
Chatenay,  Killarney,  Ivory  and  Bride. 
Walter  Weber,  of  H.  J.  Weber  &  Sods, 
showed  vases  of  excellent  Chatenay  an  ! 
Eichmond,  and  a  mixed  vase.  The  Mir. 
neapolis  Floral  Co.,  of  Minneapolis,  ser.r 
a  large  exhibit  of  Miss  Kate  Moultoi , 
which  came  in  for  much  admiration. 

Vice-president  John  Connon  preside 
most  capably.  The  trustees  reported  tha 
they  will  hold  a  meeting  and  make  earl, 
announcement  as  to  what  kind  of  enter 
tainment  they  will  give  for  the  member 
to  celebrate  the  club's  twentieth  ann; 
versary.  One  thing  was  settled,  that  tli 
club's  annual  picnic  and  the  anniversar' 
will  not  be  combined.  T.  G.  Brown  wa

and  prices  away  down. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  F.  Dwyer,  representing  the  Heim 
Carnation  Support  Co.,  Connersville,  Ind., 
spent  a  few  days  here  visiting  carnation 
growers.  Mr.  Dwyer  demonstrated  the 
support  at  the  club  meeting  last  week. 

Julius  Koenig  has  left  the  employ  of 
H.  G.  Beming. 

A  meeting  was  held  Monday  night  by 
the  Engelmann  Botanical  Club,  room  217 
Central  high  school,  when  Dr.  Perley 
Spaulding  lectured  on  an  "Account  of 
the  Progress  of  Botany  in  St.  Louis. ' ' 
The  attendance  was  large,  mostly  made 
up  by  the  members  of  the  club.  The  club 
will  hold  a  flower  show  sometime  this 
month  or  early  in  May,  as  they  do  every 
year. 

Grimm  &  Gorley,  who  conduct  a  floral 
establishment  at  1510  Cass  avenue,  and 


also  a  jewelry  store  next  door,  were 
robbed  Wednesday  night  in  uotti  of  their 
stores  to  the  amount  of  $1,000. 

William  Bouche,  the  landscape  gar- 
dener, has  a  big  job  on  his  hands  and  is 
laying  out  Kingbury  boulevard  from 
Kings  Highway  west.  A  big  force  al- 
ready is  at  work  planting  out  trees  and 
shrubs. 

The  task  of  restoring  Forest  park  by 
the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  Co. 
is  now  being  pushed  to  completion.  Ac- 
cording to  Secretary  Walter  B.  Stevens 
between  7,000  and  8,000  trees  have  been 
planted,  also  30,000  shrubs  on  the  expo-

more  shrubs  will  be  planted  by  Autumn, 
when  the  grounds  will  be  turned  over  to

the  spring.  A  suitable  hall  for  the  ex-

for  a  fall  show.  J.  J.  Be^eke. 


BOSTON. 

The  Market.        /  s 

A  little  improvement  now  is  notice- 
able in  market  conditions.  Last  week 
things  were  about  as  bad  as  could  be. 
The  weather  was  responsible  for  some  of 
this,  for  we  had  but  one  pleasant  day, 
dark  skies  and  snow  storms  of  almost 
midwinter,  seventy  prevailing  m&ch  of 
the  time.  We  hope  we  may  have  seen 
the  last  of  these,  but  it  still  remains  un- 
seasonably cold  for  April.  The  dark 
weather  materially  decreased  production 
and  this  led  to  a  rather  better  clearance 
in  some  lines.  Boses  are  well  down  in 
price,  outside  of  Beauties,  which  make 
up  to  $30  per  hundred  for  the  best.  The 
general  average  of  roses  is  from  $1  to 
$6  per  hundred.  The  quality  is  not  so 
good  as  it  might  be. 

Carnations  remain  of  good  quality  and 
prices  good  for  the  season,  although  too 
many  are  now  coming  in.  Violets  are 
less  abundant.  Singles  dwindle  in  size 
and  are  evidently  nearing  the  end.  Dou- 
bles remain  fairly  good  and  prices  are  a 
little  better  on  these. 

Sweet  peas  are  quite  plentiful,  but 
sell  well.  Bulbous  stock,  which  has  been 
unprofitable  for  the  last  few  weeks,  is 
growing  scarcer  and  meeting  with  a  bet- 
ter sale.  Prices  on  tulips  and  narcissi  of 
late  have  been  low  enough  to  discourage 
some  from  growing  them  another  sea- 
son. There  is  a  fine  supply  of  lilies, 
callas,  antirrhinums  and  all  other  sea- 
sonable flowers. 

Club  Meeting. 

"While  April  is  an  exceptionally  busy 
month  with  gardeners  and  florists,  the 
regular  monthly  club  meeting,  April  16, 
was  the  largest  meeting  ever  held  in  that 
month.  There  were  140  present.  The 
coming  banquet,  April  24,  in  Horticul- 
tural hall,  came  in  for  considerable  no- 
tice and  a  big  gathering  is  assured, 
^lembers  are  invited  to  forward  plants 
and  flowers  for  decoration  of  the  ban- 
quet tables  to  Horticultural  hall,  in  care 
of  J.  W,  Duncan,  chairman  of  the  dec- 


oration committee.  It  was  announcecf 
that  a  field  day  for  the  landscape  class 
will  be  held  April  19  to  demonstrate  the 
use  of  level  and  transit.  An  invitation 
to  the  club  from  W.  H,  Wyman  to  hold 
a  field  day  at  the  Bay  State  Nurseries 
in  August  was  read. 

Jackson  Dawson  was  elected  an  hon- 
orary member  and  two  new  active  mem- 
bers  were   elected. 

The  lecture  of  the  evening  on  "Cer- 
tain Phases  of  Landscape  Gardening," 
by  B.  H,  Howard,  who  was  instructor  in 
the  recent  landscape  classes,  proved  time- 
ly and  instructive.  It  provoked  an  ani- 
mated discussion,  participated  in  by 
Messrs.  Palmer,  Downs,  Finlayson,  Mor- 
ton, Craig,  Anderson  and  others.  There 
was,  as  usual,  a  nice  display  on  the  ex- 
hibition table,  including  a  large  vas^  of 
Lilium  candidum  from  W.  N,  C^raig, 
splendid  spikes  of  antirrhinum  from 
William  Downs  and  a  new  gloriosa  from 
the  Congo  Free  State,  for  which  Arthur 
GriflSn,  of  Newport,  received  a  report  of 
merit. 

Refreshments  were  served  as  usual. 
The' several  exhibitors  spoke  on  their  ex- 
liibits.  Queries  from  the  question  box 
were  answered  and  it  was,  as  usual,  late 
before  the  meeting  terminated. 

Various  Notes. 

Geo.  C.  Harbison,  foreman  for  W.  H. 
Elliott,  at  Brighton,  and  George  T.  El- 
liott left  April  13  for  a  ten  days'  tour 
in  and  around  Chicago. 

The  next  prize  exhibition,  at  Horti- 
cultural hall,  will  occur  May  4.  Calceo- 
larias, pelargoniums,  tulips  and  narcissi 
will  be  special  features. 

Henry  M.  Bobinson  left  this  week  for 
an  extended  business  trip  in  the  south 
and  west  in  the  interest  of  hLs  firm. 

W^illiam  H.  Elliott  is  hoping  that  the 
snow  may  soon  disappear,  so  that  he  can 
commence  operations  on  his  mammoth  new 
rose  house,  at  Madbury,  N.  H. 

The  wintery  weather  experienced  last 
week  seriously  affected  counter  trade  at 
the  seed  stores,  Nurserj-men  also  have 
been  anathematizing  the  unusual  April 
climatic  conditions, 

Houghton  &  Clark  are  showing  fine 
specimen  hydrangeas  and  some  excellent 
hippeastrums, 

H,  M.  Bobinson  &  Co,  report  a  serious 
scarcity  of  good  hardy  ferns.  They  have 
lost   150  barrels   recently   from   rot  and

NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 


Last  week  was  cold,  unseasonable,  life- 
less. There  was  no  snap  to  the  demand 
and  the  tendency  was  downward.  Even 
the  spring  crop  of  weddings,  numerous, 
and  many  of  them  elaborate,  could  not 
stir  the  waters  and  the  big  functions  and 
fine  decorations  only  comforted  individ- 
ual and  fortunate  retailers,  while  the 
great  majority  patiently  waited  for  their 
share.  The  shipments  of  all  kinds  of 
flowers  grow  in  volume  and  great  con- 
cessions are  made  each  day  in  the  clear- 
ing of  the  surplus. 

Roses  are  abundant.  Imagine  those 
proud  Beauties  of  a  few  weeks  ago  toss- 
ing their  heads  derisively  at  an  offer  of 
$50  a  hundred  now  smilingly  accepting 
$15  and  often  compromising  on  even  a 
lower  plane.  Brides  and  Maids,  too,  are 
<lown  to  almost  summer  rates  and  sec- 
onds have  sunk  at  times  below  $10  a 
thousand.  Fine  Maids  have  sold  for  $5 
a  hundred.  Some  of  the  specialties  are 
more  independent,  Richmond  and  Chat- 
enay  among  them. 

Enormous  quantities  of  lilies  are  com- 
ing to  town,  both  callas  and  Harrisii.  I 
5-aw  5,000  of  them  in  one  cellar  Satur- 
<lay  night  and  $5  per  hundred  would 
liave  bought  them.  Some  of  the  houses 
<|uoted  even  a  lower  figure.  Some  of  the 
bulb  growers  may  wake  up  after  this 
reason  and  give  more  of  their  houses  to 
loses  and  carnations.  They  have  had  a 
esson  this  year  that  is  most  discourag- 
ing. Hardly  the  price  of  the  bulbs  has 
been  realized  by  many.  Southern  ship- 
ments are  enormous  and  this  adds  to 
ihe  general  demoralization  in  bulbdom. 
There  is  a  great  abundance  of  sweet 
.leas,  mignonette,  tulips  and  valley.  Vio- 
lets are  still  with  us,  though  their  days 
=ire  numbered.  The  best  of  them  are  no 
longer  good  and  at  the  others  even  the 
street  merchants  turn  up  their  Grecian 
noses. 

Last  but  not  least,  carnations  join  the 
procession  with  lagging  feet  and  even 
the  novelties  were  down.  The  finest  Law- 
sons  could  be  had  for  $2  per  hundred, 
r^ut  "it's  a  long  lane  that  has  no 
turn"  and  with  the  return  of  sunshine 
find  the  robins  we  are  looking  for  lively 


times.  The  snow  and  chill  of  the  whole 
month  of  April  to  this  date  has  made 
pessimists  of   us  all. 

Another  Bi£  Orchid  Grower. 

The  orchid  is  firm  and  aggressive. 
Everything  confirms  its  growing  popu- 
larity. Carrillo  &  Baldwin,  of  Cecaucus, 
have  just  received  114  cases  of  C.  Trianae 
and  have  contracted  with  Komitsch  & 
Junge,  the  sweet  pea  growers  of  that

be  used  in  three  large  houses,  each  150 
feet  long,  covering  all  the  commercial 
varieties  and  ensuring  blooms  all  the 
year  around.  This  firm  has  now  one 
orchid  house  150  feet  long  from  which, 
in  December  and  January,  they  cut 
10,500  flowers.  The  above  is  one  of  the 
largest  orders  for  orchids  ever  given  in 
this  country.  T.  Haff  has  been  engaged 
as  grower  and  he  has  had  much  ex- 
perience already  with  Siebrecht  &  Son 
and  the  Julius  Roehrs  Co.  Mr.  Junge 
himself  is  an  expert  grower. 

This  is  one  of  the  many  straws  show- 
ing   the     wind's     direction     as     to     the 


orchid's  future.  It  would  surprise  you 
to  know  how  many  orchid  growers  are 
busy  in  and  around  this  city.  A  call 
on  McManus  any  evening  when  the  local 
demand  has  been  suppli^  and  the  orders 
from  other  cities  are  being  boxed  for 
shipment  is  a  daily  reminder  of  the 
flower.  Many  of  the  wholesalers  are  now 
handling  it  and  as  the  supply  grows 
their  number  will  increase. 

ITith  the  Nurscrymetk. 

This  is  not  a  good  time  to  visit  the 
nurserymen;  they  are  too  busy.  We 
have  some  of  the  best  in  the  land  very 
near  us.  Down  on  Long  Island,  the 
Cottage  Gardens  Co.;  over  the  river  at 
Rutherford,  Bobbink  &  Atkins,  and  at 
Elizabeth,  N.  J.,  only  fifteen  miles  out, 
Hiram  T.  Jones  and  the  Elizabeth  Nur- 
sery Co.  are  overwhelmed  with  orders. 
Mr.  Jones  is  already  averaging  a  car  a 
day  in  shipments  and  has  hardly  begun. 
Over  100  acres  are  devoted  to  ornamental 
stock  alone.  Two  packing  houses  have 
been  built,  with  a  combined  floor  space 
of  over  10,000  square  feet  and  a  frost- 
proof cellar,  35x100. 

Close  at  hand  are  the  nurseries  of  the 
Elizabeth  Nursery  Co.,  where  nearly  200 
people,  in  greenhouses,  offices  and 
grounds,  find  employment  in  the  spring. 
Here  the  office  force  is  working  night 
and  day.  Great  stacks  of  orders  are 
coming  in  daily  and  nearly  1,000  orders 
were  booked  before  the  winter  was  over. 
Mr.  Runyon,  president  of  the  company, 
and  Mrs,  Runyon  returned  a  few  weeks 
ago  from  their  Cuban  plantation,  where 
they  have  over  200  acres  devoted  to 
oranges,  lemons  and  grape  fruit  and 
Ai^tere  they  spent  the  winter  in  an  aver- 
age temperature  of  over  70  degrees.  An 
ideal  spot,  they  claim,  for  New  Yorkers 
to  pass  the  disagreeable  months  of  Feb- 
ruary and  March. 

Fred  Smythe,  of  Wadley  &  Smythe, 
now  has  in  addition  to  his  nurseries  at 
Yonkers  and  Newport,  two  others  in 
close  proximity  to  New  York  which  he 
contemplates  purchasing.  His  contracts 
this  season  are  numerous,  the  principal 
one  being  the  planting  of  the  grounds 
at  Canton  around  the  McKinley  me- 
morial, some  fifteen  acres  in  extent. 
Already  considerable  work  has  been 
done  there  in  the  planting  of  large  trees.

Variotss  Notes. 

The  wholesalers  are  still  gravitating 
toward  the  natural  business  center. 
Twenty-eighth  street,  west  of  Sixth  ave- 
nue, must  of  necessity  grow  more  popu- 
lar as  the  years  roll  on,  for  about  every- 
thing on  the  street  between  Broadway 
and  Sixth  avenue  is  occupied  and  the 
brevity  of  the  leases  granted  indicates 
the  building  of  larger  structures  where 
the  architecture  of  a  former  generation 
now  stands. 

Gunther  Bros,  will  occupy  the  store  at 
114  West  Twenty-eighth  street  May  1, 
Russin  &  Hanfling,  the  supply  house 
formerly  at  this  address,  will  fit  up  th6 
first  floor  of  the  building  as  an  oflBce 
and  show  room  and  use  the  balance  of 
the  building  as  a  factory.  Gunther 
Bros,  have  held  the  fort  at  30  West 
Twenty-ninth  street  for  many  years. 
There  are  others  with  the  Twenty-eighth 
street  bee  in  their  bonnets.  Perhaps  the 
new  home  of  the  New  York  Florists' 
Club,  that  is  so  vivid  a  reality  to  Presi- 
dent Totty,  may  be  located  on  this  hor- 
ticultural thoroughfare.  There  is  noth- 
ing so  sure  to  bring  prosperity  to  the 
greatest  number  as  centralization. 

J.  K.  Allen  is  installing  an  immense 
ice-box  in  his  basement.  No  signs  of 
age  here  after  twenty  years  of  life  on 
the  market.  There  must  be  something 
enticing  about  a  business  that  will  hold 
one  loyal  to  it  for  a  generation.  James 
Hart  and  John  J.  Perkins  have  been 
loyal  to  it  for  over  thirty  years.  But  the 
present  age  is  the  developer  of  t^e 
young  man  in  floriculture.  Guttmaii, 
Fenrich,  Starke,  Schumann,  Seligman, 
Levy,  A.  L.  Young,  Kuebler  and  Hen- 
shaw  are  all  good  demonstrations  of  the 
ability,  ambition  and  accomplishment  of 
youth,  health   and   tireless  energy. 

The  seedsmen  are  still  working  nights 
and  Sundays.  They  are  quite  satisfied 
with  the  weather.  It  gives  them  oppor- 
tunity to  overtake  their  advance  orders. 
'  *  The  greatest  season ' '  is  their  uni- 
versal report. 

Few  of  the  department  stores  are  now 
without  a  stock  of  roses  and  shrubbery. 
More  Ajnerican  grown  roses  seem  to  be 


used  than  usual.  C.  C.  Trefel,  of  Brook- 
lyn, uses  them  altogether. 

A  handsome  decoration  entirely  of 
American  Beauties  was  made  in  the  ban- 
quet room  of  the  N«w  York  Times  April 
15  in  honor  of  the  editor  of  the  London 
Times.  David  Howells,  of  the  floral 
department  of  the  Hotel  Knickerbocker, 
was  in  charge. 

It  is  rumored  that  another  flower 
shop  is  to  be  opened  on  Fifth  avenue 
at  Forty-first  street,  making  a  quintette 
of  stores  under  the  management  of  one 
ambitious  Broadway  florist. 

By  the  way,  there  were  three  failures 
last  week  in  the  retail  section.  Two  of 
them  lady  florists,  more's  the  pity.  This 
is  too  strenuous  a  village  for  the  gentler 
sex  to  battle  in,  especially  in  floral  com- 
petition. Over  in  Brooklyn  the  lady 
florists  all  make  excellent  records  and 
there  are  many  of  them.  But  it  takes  a 
man  to  make  any  headway  in  Manhattan 
and  he  has  to  be  a  live  one  to  make 
progress  at  all  against  the  expert  and 
established  artists  already  here. 

The  Kervan  Co.  expects  to  join  the 
Twenty-eighth  street  wholesalers  shortly. 

Joseph  E.  Bolker  is  in  Europe,  look- 
ing after  the  spring  shipments  of  Au- 
gust Bolker  &  Sons  and  searching  for 
horticultural  novelties.  He  will  return 
about  June  1. 

The  liabilities  of  Bertha  Cohn,  at  17 
East  Fifty-ninth  street,  who  has  filed  a 
petition  in  bankruptcy,  are  said  to  be 
$4,180  and  the  assets  scheduled  are  only 
$20.  She  seems  to  have  been  wiser  than 
some  other  people  in  the  matter  of  ex- 
tending credit.  J.  Austin  Shaw.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


April  18,  1007. 


VAYSIDE  NOTES. 

N.  F.  Higgins,  of  Springfield,  Mass., 
is  a  strong  advocate  of  judicious  adver- 
tising and  attributes  most  of  his  suc- 
cess to  it.  His  stunning  new  wagon 
caused  quite  a  sensation  when  put  on  the 
street  at  Easter. 

Mark  Aitken,  of  Springfield,  Mass., 
says  his  auto  at  Easter  answered  for  two 
teams,  scooting  around  town.  The  mild 
weather  made  the  task  of  delivering  a 
pleasure. 

M.  Cooley,  of  Mittineague,  Mass.,  was 
a  heavy  buyer  of  carnations  last  week 
at  Frank  Burfitt's  place,  where  can  be 
seen  a  fine  specimen  of  Limonium  trifo- 
liatum  in  full  fruit.  It  is  the  property 
of  Senator  Trask  and  highly  valued  by 
him. 

Mark  Aitken,  of  Springfield,  Mass., 
had  great  success  with  the  double  scar- 
let thorn  purchased  from  Bobbink  & 
Atkins,  who  import  large  numbers  an- 
nually. John  Moyan,  the  grower,  reports 
a  larger  demand  for  flowering  plants 
than  ever  before. 

W.  Schlatter  &  Son,  of  Springfield, 
Mass.,  have  a  fine  lot  of  Hydrangea 
Otaksa  growing  at  Chicopee  Falls.  Os- 
terman  &  Steele  have  a  big  batch  of 
geraniums,  well  grown,  at  the  same  vil- 
lage. 

James  Beach,  at  South  Hadley  Falls, 
thinks  of  taking  in  several  acres  sur- 
rounding his  valuable  property.  Dame 
Fortune  has  been  very  kind  to  friend  Jim. 

Louis  Hancock,  of  Burlington,  N.  J., 
when  I  called  had  just  returned  from 
making  his  daily  trip  to  Leo  Niessen,  of 
Philadelphia,  to  whom  he  has  consigned 
for  some  years.  Cuts  of  carnations  at 
Easter  broke  the  record. 

M.  I.  O'Brien,  of  Sharon,  says  it  pays 
to  advertise  judiciously.  He  proveid  it 
recently  by  putting  in  the  same  adv.  in 
two  trade  papers;  says  he  received  just 
twice  the  number  of  replies  from  the 
Florists'  Beview  that  he  did  from  the 
other.

GREENFLY  ON  LETTUCE. 

Please  name  some  good  exterminator 
of  lice  on  lettuce.  We  have  used  tobacco 
without  success.  C.  G.  C. 


I  know  of  no  safer  means  than  tobacco 
for  the  destruction  of  greenfly,  which  I 
take  to  be  what  the  correspondent  means 
V)y  lice.  I  use  the  yellow  powdered 
article,  specially  prepared  for  smoMcg. 
It  is  clean,  easily  used  and  eff ectivg .,iji 
my  experience.  Our  houses  are  twenty 
feet  wide  and  to  every  fifty  feet  of  house 
\ve  use  three  pounds  of  tobacco  dust. 
To  kindle  it  we  simply  lay  on  the  floor 
a  handful  of  excelsior,  spreading  it  out 
so  that  the  dust  can  be  laid  on  top  of  it, 
so  as  to  allow  the  excelsior  to  project  a 
little  all  the  way  around.  When  a  match 
is  applied  to  the  excelsior  in  three  or 
four  diflferent  places,  the  tobacco  is 
ignited  all  around  the  edges  of  the  pile 
and  burns  slowly,  keeping  the  house 
lilled  with  smoke  for  the  greater  part  of 
The  night.  With  this  we  have  no  trouble 
keeping  greenfly  down,  but  we  are  very 
'  areful  to  apply  the  smoke  on  the  first 
;^igns  of  its  presence  in  the  house.  If  it 
1^  allowed  to  run  until  the  plants  are 
"adly  infected,  it  is  quite  a  hard  matter 
*o  get  the  fly  under  control,  but  smoking 
■or  three  or  four  nights  in  succession 
vill  get  rid  of  it,  even  if  the  house  is 
■i''tty  badly  infested.     W.  S.  Croydon. 


GARDENING  IN  ALABAMA. 

The  shipment  of  vegetables  from

gan  as  early  as  March  20  this  year  and 
the  business  so  far  handled  is  un- 
precedentedly  large.  Up  to  April  13 
fifty-three  ears  of  strawberries  and 
fifteen  cars  of  radishes  had  been  shipped 
from  the  district,  passing  through  Mont- 
gomery, where  they  were  re-iced  en  route 
mostly  to  the  cities  of  the  middle  west. 

According  to  an  ofticial  of  the  Louis- 
ville &  Nashville  railroad,  three  years 
{fgo  the  railroad  put  agents  into  this 
field  for  the  purpose  of  fostering  the 
growth  of  vegetables,  berries  and  fruits. 
The  industries  have  been  carefully  nur- 
tured, and  during  the  first  two  years  the 
rasults  were  comparatively  light,  but 
with  this  season  the  entire  section  has 
taken  on  the  air  of  unlimited  prosperity. 
The  shipnieiit.s  this  season  are  several 
times  what  they  were  last  year  at  this 
time. 

Some  idea  of  the  value  of  the  indus- 
tries can  be  gained  from  the  fact  that 
people  of  this  eeetion  are  now  being  paid 
from  $500  to  $1,000  for  a  carload  of 
radishes,  and  $1,200  for  a  car  of  straw- 
berries, this  being  the  price  paid  for  the 
products  on  the  track  by  commission 
agents  who  are  there  ready  to  take  the 
goods. 

It  is  expected  that  during  the  season 
at  least  300  cars  of  perishable  stuff  will 
have  been  shipped  from  the  Mobile  and 
Montgomery  division.  Among  the  later 
products  will  be  tomatoes,  canteloupes, 
watermelons,  beans  and  peaches. 

The  zone  of  this  activity  extends  from 
Greenville  south  to  Bay  Minette,  includ- 
ing Boiling,  Garland,  Owassa,  Evergreen, 
Sparta,  Marble,  Castleberry,  Brewton, 
Canoe,  Atmore  and  Kobertsdale,  Sum- 
merdale  and  Fooley  on  the  Bay  ^linetto 
&  Fort  Morgan  railroad. 


I  LIKE  the  Keview^  best  of  all;  it  is 
very  interesting  and  instructive. — LuD-

AMEBICAN  SEED  TBADE  ASSOCIATION. 

res.,  Henry  W.  Wood,  Richmond,  Va.;  First 
Vlce-Pres.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo,  O.;  Sec'y  and 
Treas.,  C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland.  The  25th  annual 
meeting  iwlll  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1907 


The  call  for  tomato  seeds,  usually 
pretty  vceU  satisfied  by  this  date,  is  not 
abating  as  rapidly  as  it  ordinarily  does. 

The  freakish  spring  weather  is  caus- 
ing as  much  dissatisfaction  in  seed  cir- 
cles as  in  the  free  distribution  of  "new 
and  rare  varieties. ' ' 

Tomato,  i>epper  and  all  other  plants 
that  are  grown  by  gardeners  in  hotbeds 
are  dropping  away  from  lack  of  sun  and 
a  replanting  is  necessary  in  many  cases. 

The  few  left-over  lots  of  onion  sets 
seem  to  be  growing  larger  as  the  season 
advances.  This  would  be  all  right  if  they 
were  in  the  ground,  instead  of  in  the  re- 
tailers'  hands. 

Seeding  for  onion  sets  at  Chicago, 
which  was  progressing  so  finely  three 
weeks  or  more  ago,  is  now  at  a  standstill 
and  the  growers  are  beginning  to  wonder 
where  they  will  land. 

Oats  and  potatoes  that  were  purchased 
by  the  catalogue  men  against  anticipated 
orders  are  not  moving  off  very  fast;  and 
the  worst  of  it  is  that  the  season  for 
planting  these  articles  has  almost  passed. 

The  business  in  insecticides  is  of  con- 
stantly increasing  importance  to  all 
seedsmen.  As  general  appreciation  of 
the  value  of  spraying  grows  with  the 
public,  this  department  is  sure  to  take  on 
large  proportions.  ^ 

The  pea  and  bean  growers  are  still 
out  hustling  for  acreage.  They  are  in 
the  optimistic  class.  Hope  for  the  future 
is  their  main  asset  and  as  they  do  not 
have  to  pay  a  high  rate  of  interest  on  it 
there  is  no  reason  for  scrimping. 

Much  onion  seed  was  planted  during 
the  fine  weather  of  the  end  of  March  and 
the  planters  are  anxiously  awaiting  the 
outcome.  It  is  feared  that  the  seed  will 
hardly  have  sufficient  strength  to  with- 
stand the  long  continued  unfavorable 
weather. 

Already  there  are  signs  that  the  great 
middle  west  may  step  into  the  breach 
and  make  a  strong  effort  to  produce  what 
have  heretofore  been  termed  Pacific  coast 
seeds.  It  is  well  enough  known  that  all 
of  these  seeds  can  be  produced  in  the 
Mississippi  valley  provided  the  additional 
cost  of  production  would  be  stood  for 
until  the  thing  got  fairly  going. 

"CouxTER  trade  is  reported  almost 
dead.  Fill-in  business  with  the  whole- 
salers begins  to  run  behind.  The  market 
gardeners  are  doing  little  and  mail  trade 
is  not  reported  as  flourishing. ' '  This 
is  the  rather  pessimistic  report  made 
April  16  by  a  Chicago  house,  but  '  *  things 
are  likely  to  change  for  the  better  soon 
and  in  a  week  or  two  we  will  likely  for- 
get all  about  it." 

At  Peoria,  HI.,  Joseph  Szold  &  Son's 
department  store  has  been  giving  away 
tuberose,  gladiolus  and  caladium  bulbs 
and  canna  roots  as  premiums  with  each 
purchase  of  $1  or  more,  "enough  for  a 
complete  flower  garden."  Whatever 
effect   iiuch    a    plan    may    have    on    the

There  is  said  to  be  a  fully  adequate 
supply  of  seed  potatoes  for  any  demand 
that  may  be  in  sight. 

The  clover  and  timothy  seed  market  at 
Chicago  is  quiet.  At  Toledo  cash  clover 
seed  is  $9;  timothy,  $2.15;  alsike,  $7.45.

BULBS  IN  HOLLAND. 

After  three  weeks  of  almost  continu- 
ous hard  storms  and  cold  weather,  the 
last  week  of  March  suddenly  marked 
such  an  improvement  in  the  temperature 
that  the  general  aspect  of  the  bulb  fields 
changed  as  if  by  magic.  Whereas,  we 
expected  that  Easter  would  find  us  still 
in  winter  weather  and  no  flowers,  some 
of  the  earliest  of  the  narcissi,  like  Yel- 
low King  and  Ard  Bigh,  have  suddenly 
burst  into  bloom,  and  many  of  the 
hyacinth  varieties  were  showing  their 
colors.  Judging  from  the  present  state 
of  the  crops,  outside  of  the  fact  that  the 
acreage  planted  out  this  season  is  con- 
siderably less  than  last  year,  everything 
is  promising  a  good  crop,   but   as  the

more  of  unseasonably  cold  weather  have 
no  doubt  had  considerable  bearing  and 
it  is  possible  that  the  demand  may  come

is  late  in  the  northwest  and  there  are 
still  many  orders  for  field  seeds  to  be 
filled.  Snow  still  lingers  in  New  Eng-

I 
growing  district  of  which  Jackson  is  the 
center,  and  the  success  and  profit  they 
have  made  in  past  seasons  has  caused 
them  to  be  quite  eager  to  grow  for  the 
coming  season,  so  we  have  been  able  to 
choose,  not  only  the  very  best  men  to  do 
our  growing,  but  also  the  soil  best 
adapted  to  the  different  kinds  of  seeds. 

**We  have  a  much  larger  acreage  of 
tomato,  radish,  watermelon  and  musk- 
melon,  squash  and  pumpkin  than  last 
year;  beans  and  cucumbers  will  be  con- 
siderably less,  while  peas  and  sweet  corn 
Will  be  the  average. 

''Our  mail  order  business  is  all  that 
we  can  expect  and  at  this  writing  the 
orders  are  still  pouring  in  upon  us.  The 
filling-in  orders  to  the  south  of  us  have 
been  good  and  we  are  just  beginning  to 
get  the  benefit  of  our  Michigan  mer- 
chants' trade." 


SEED  TRADE  AT  BALTIMORE. 

The  Baltimore  seedsmen  are  having 
an  extremely  busy  season  and  have  great 
difficulty  in  getting  the  necessary  stock 
and  keeping  up  with  their  orders.  How- 
ever, the  cold  weather  conditions  are  in 
their  favor,  as  the  market  gardeners  are 
almost  at  a  standstill. 

Charles  Phillips,  of  Griffith  &  Turner 
Co.  last  week  awoke  one  morning  to  find 
himself  totally   blind  in  one  eye;  it  is

April  18,  1907. 


PACIFIC  COAST. 


It  was  a  year  ago  today,  April  18, 
1906,  that  disaster  overtook  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

The  Fifteenth  National  Irrigation 
Congress  will  be  held  in  Sacramento, 
Cal,,  September  2  to  7. 


PASADENA,  CAL. 

The  second  annual  flower  show  of  the 
Pasadena  Gardeners'  Association,  which 
was  held  April  4  to  6,  was  a  gratifying 
success  in  every  respect.  The  exhibits 
worthy  of  special  mention  include  Gladi- 
olus America,  by  A.  Campbell  Johnston; 
amaryllises,  by  Howard  &  Smith;  collec- 
tion of  wild  flowers,  by  George  Dell,  Jr. ; 
two  collections  of  plants,  by  E.  H.  Eust, 
and  Park  Nursery  Co.;  Gen.  MacArthur 
roses,  by  F.  F.  Holder.  Twelve  Maman 
Cochet  blooms,  exhibited  by  the  Park 
Nursery  Co.,  took  first  prize  for  field 
grown  roses.  A  fine  specimen  of,  Neph- 
rolepis  Whitmani,  shown  by  the  Park 
Nursery  Co.,  took  first  prize  and  at- 
tracted general  attention. 

Kobert  Pegg,  as  manager  of  the  show, 
and  William  Murrell,  as  secretary  of  the 
show  committee,  were  especially  active 
and  tireless  in  pushing  the  enterprise  to 
success.  Among  those  who  have  assisted 
them  were  John  Blake,  president  of  the 
association ;  A.  T.  Hansen,  G.  A.  Sawyer, 
George  F.  Nillsson,  Kichard  Thomas, 
making  up  the  show  committee;  A.  Mc- 
Leod,  vice-president  of  the  association, 
and  Otto  Heutschey,  Robert  Kroll  and 
P.  W.  Jannoek,  committee  on  decorations. 


SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 


Flowers  are  plentiful  and  cheap  for 
the  first  time  in  many  months.  The 
continued  warm  weather  has  brought 
everything  into  blossom  in  a  rush  and 
the  price  of  roses,  carnations  and  every- 
thing else  in  the  flower  line  haa 
dropped  at  least  fifty  per  cent.  The  long 
weeks  of  dark  weather  we  had  during 
the  months  of  February  and  March 
kept  stock  back  so  far  that  when  the 
warm  days  and  nights  arrived  everything 
went  with  a  rush. 

Peonies  of  the  deciduous  variety  have 
made  their  appearance  in  the  stores  and 
are  being  used  in  large  quantities.  The 
herbaceous  sorts  will  be  in  season  in  a 
couple  of  weeks  and  will  hold  attention 
for  a  while. 

Valley  has  taken  a  slump,  as  well  as 
late  varieties  of  tulips,  which  appear 
to  be  rather  slow  sale.  Great  quantities 
of  California  poppies  are  being  sold,  as 
they  are  the  most  popular  wild  flower 
at  this  time.  Violets  are  holding  on 
well,  but  their  days  are  numbered  and 
the  public  does  not  buy  them  as  readily 
as  earlier  in  the  season,  when  they  were 
in  better  form. 

Business  has  been  fair  for  the  last 
week  and  the  retailers  do  not  expect 
much  of  a  spurt  in  business  until  the 
closing  of  the  schools,  which  begins 
within  the  next  few  weeks. 

Over  in.  Oakland  everything  moves 
along  well,  considering  how  plentiful 
flowers  are.

a  copartnership  under  the  name  of  the 
Hassard  Nursery  Co.  Both  young  men 
are  well  known  here.  The  former  was 
for  several  years  associated  with  the 
Piedmont  Seed  Co.,  of  Oakland,  and  the 
latter  was  with  Alex.  Mann,  Jr.,  on  Polk 
street.  They  will  transact  a  general 
nursery  business  and  make  a  specialty  of 
bulbous  stock. 

A  visit  to  the  California  Nurserv  Co., 
at  Niles,  shows  this  concern  to  have  had 
a  satisfactory  season's  business.  The 
demand  for  ornamental  and  fruit  trees 
was  the  largest  in  the  history  of  the  com- 
pany, and  many  improvements  will  be 
made  for  the  coming  season. 

B.  D.  Miller  has  returned  from  a

I  am  well  aware  that  California  privet 
is  largely  used  for  ornamental  hedges  on 
the  Atlantic  coast,  from  Florida  to  Bos- 
ton,   with    marked   success.      This    plant 


seems  less  injured  by  the  salt  air  from 

the  ocean  than  most  others  and,  where 

it  thrives,  is  a  most  desirable  hedge  plant.

fornia  privet  that  was  killed  to  the 
ground,  Amur  River  privet,  from  Siberia, 
and  Ibota  privet,  from  Japan,  are  both 
perfectly  sound  and  budding  from  the 
tips.  Each  resembles  in  general  appear- 
ance, habit  of  growth,  foliage,  etc.,  the 
California  privet.  Each  holds  its  leaves 
and  purple  berries  well  along  into  win- 
ter. I  think  either  is  equal  to  California 
privet  in  every  respect  and  superior  in 
some  points. 

Berberis  Thunbergii,  Japanese  bar- 
berry, is  also  a  most  desirable  hedge 
plant,  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  orna- 
mental of  recently  introduced  shrubs,  re- 
markable for  its  dense,  spreading  growth, 
its  hardiness  and  attractive  appearance 
throughout  the  year.  It  also  is  one  of 
the  earliest  to  start  in  spryj^.  Ji  is 
covered  with  the  greenness  of  its  dainty 
little  leaves  and  a  few  weeks  later  with 
myriads  of  small  yellow  flowers,  followed 
by  an  abundant  crop  of  fruit,  ripening 
into  scarlet  berries,  which  remain  to 
make  the  bush  a  conspicuous  and  attract- 
ive object  all  winter.  The  beautiful  au- 
tumn coloring  of  the  leaves,  which  as- 
sume the  brightest  shades  of  orange, 
scarlet  and  crimson,  is  not  the  least  of 
the  attractions  of  this  interesting  shrub. 
It  is  one  of  the  best  plants  for  shrub- 
bery borders,  for  edgings,  or  for  hedges. 
By  trimming,  it  can  be  kept  of  any  size 
or  shape  desired,  or,  if  allowed  to  grow 
without  interruption,  it  will  make  a  de- 
fensive hedge  four  or  five  feet  high  and 
six  or  eight  feet  broad.  Its  thorns  are 
sharp  and  severe  enough  to  bar  all  but 
the  most  determined  intruders. 

Spireea  Van  Houttei  I  consider  the 
best  of  all  shrubs  for  an  ornamental 
hedge,  where  absolute  strength  is  not  es- 
sential, being  a  neat  shrub  of  pleasing 
appearance  at  all  times  and  one  of  the 
most  handsome  of  all  when  in  bloom. 
The  plant  is  extremely  hardy,  easily 
transplanted  and  generally  kept  by  nur- 
serymen. The  plant  attaiias  five  to  seven 
feet  when  allowed  to  grow  untrained.  It 
can  be  kept  within  two  feet  if  desired. 

All  the  shrubs  mentioned  above  should 
be  planted  in  hedge  row  eighteen  inches 
apart.  Most  shrubs  should  be  trimmed 
into  shape  just  after  their  blooming 
period,  so  that  the  season's  growth  may 
be  devoted  to  forming  wood  for  the  fu- 
ture. E.  Y.  Teas. 


SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS. 

Magnolias  are  the  most  beautiful  of 
all  the  large  trees  valued  for  their  flow- 
ers. There  are  a  great  many  varieties 
in  cultivation,  but  for  the  northern  states 
only  the  hardiest  should  be  planted  and 
even  these  should  be  given  a  sheltered 
position.  Magnolias  are  rank  feeders 
and  for  that  reason  they  will  only  suc- 
ceed  when   planted    in    fairly    rich    soil.

mou  box  tree.  It  stands  a  great  deal  of 
hard  usage  and  is,  besides,  valuable  for 
its  adaptability  for  use  in  various  ways. 
A  great  mau.v  should  be  grown  to  meet 
the  coming  demand. 

It  is  rather  curious  that  although  in 
nearly  every  nursery  catalogue  we  see 
tamarix  recommended  for  planting  near 
the  seashore,  the  actual  number  of  plants 
in  such  locations  is  surprisingly  small, 
but  perhaps  they  would  be  planted  in 
greater  numbers  if  it  were  generally 
known  that  they  stand  pruning  severely 
and  are  in  fact  thereby  greatiy  improved, 
especially  when  planted  in  a  group  or 
used  as  a  background  for  dwarf  shrubs, 
or  even  as  hedge  plants.  The  tamarix 
has  beautiful  green  foliage,  fern-like  in 
appearance.

serymen  have  met  several  times  in  the 
past,  has  again  been  selected  as  head- 
quarters. The  program  is  in  the  hands 
of  a  committee  headed  by  Eugene  Stark, 
Louisiana,  Mo.,  and  an  especially  inter- 
esting set  of  papers  has  been  promised. 
The  committee  on  exhibits,  of  which 
Thomaa  B.  Meehan,  Dreshertown,  Pa.,  is 
chairman,  is  making  special  effort  to 
make  the  exhibition  the  largest  and  most 
comprehensive  ever  seen  at  a  nursery- 
men's convention.  The  committee  now 
is  soliciting  applications  for  space  and 
seeking  large  exhibits  not  only  of  nur- 
sery stock,  but  of  all  sorts  of  fruits,  im- 
plements and  machinery  of  interest  to 
the  trade.  The  committee  on  arrange- 
ments is  headed  by  Charles  A.  Ilgenfritz, 
of  Monroe,  Mich.,  and  the  local  hos- 
pitalities will  be  a  special  feature  of  the 
meeting.  The  interest  and  attendance 
at  the  nurserymen's  convention  has  been 
increasing  year  by  year.  The  1907  meet- 
ing gives  every  indication  of  breaking 
all  previous  records. 


HARDY  CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 

Chrysanthemums  of  the  pompon  type, 
of  which  each  plant  produces  from  forty 
to  100  blooms,  an  inch  or  two  across, 
are  many  of  them  sufficiently  hardy  to 
be  left  out  all  winter  in  central  and 
southern  latitudes,  says  the  press  com- 
mittee of  the  National  Council  of  Hor- 
ticulture. The  blooms  often  remain  in 
good  condition  until  long  after  Thanks- 
giving. They  are  the  most  capable  of 
resisting  frost  of  any  garden  plants. 
Their  peculiar  merit  is  in  blooming  long 
after  successive  frosts  have  denuded  the 
landscape.  Their  vivid  colors  are  so  un- 
like anything  else  at  that  season  that 
they  are  indispensable  in  the  carefully 
made  garden.  The  flowers  are  not 
ruined  until  their  petals  have  been  wet 
and  frozen  stiff. 

The  plants  are  necessarily  used  for 
mass  effects,  as  great  size  is  not  to  be 
expected.  Masses  of  red  and  masses  of 
brown  side  by  side  make  a  striking  com- 
bination. Crimson  and  pink  varieties 
should  be  kept  by  themselves,  because 
their  colors  are  variable  and  they  make 
a  violent  contrast  with  the  yellow. 

The  culture  of  hardy  chrysanthemums 
is  simple.  They  need  little  care  and  can 
be  planted  in  any  situation,  so  that  the 
soil  is  rich.  They  are  best  propagated 
from  cuttings,  which  should  be  made  at 
any  time  from  October  to  May.

BALTIMORE. 


The  Market 


Trade  last  week  was  nothing  to  brag 
of,  weather  conditions  being  responsible. 
Funeral  work  is  the  old  standby.  A  few 
Easter  flowers  are  still  hanging  on  and 
move  slowly.  There  seems  to  be  a  cer- 
tain amount  of  surplus  stock  on  the  mar- 
ket. Any  one  going  down  Lexington 
street  on  a  market  day  would  imagine 
flowers  very  plentiful.  The  street  boys 
at  present  hold  the  fort,  offering  roses, 
carnations,  American  Beauties,  jOnquils, 
violets  and  other  kinds  of  cut  blooms  at 
a  low  figure.  Greens  of  all  kinds  are 
coming  in  a  little  more  regularly.  Laurel 
can  be  had  in  wagon-loads  at  fair  prices. 

Various  Notes. 

C.  E.  Cook  and  his  brother,  of  Catons- 
ville,  Md.,  met  with  a  serjpus  accident 
April  13  at  Gilmore  and  Lafayette  Ave- 
nues, their  wagon  coming  in  collision 
with  a  car,  which  threw  fhem  into  the 
street.  Mr.  Cook  was  knocked  senseless, 
after  which  the  horse  broke  away  from 
the  runabout,  ran  across  the  railroad 
tracks  and  was  badly  injured.  Mr.  Cook 
is  erecting  two  new  houses,  one  30x100 
feet  and  the  other  28x100  feet.   '^  •    " 

Bobert  L.  Graham  says  he  had  a  good 
Easter  trade  and  will  grow  a  larger  num- 
ber of  Harrisii  lilies  for  next  Easter. 

Henry  Eberhardt,  who  has  been  con- 
fined to  his  bed,  is  able  to  be  about  his 
range  of  houses  again.  His  son,  Peter, 
now  takes  charge  of  his  stall  in  the  mar- 
ket. 

Wagner  Bros.,  Towson,  Md.,  are  erect- 
ing another  large  greenhouse. 

The  old  property  of  the  late  Anthony 
Cook  is  being  built  up  with  dwelling 
houses,  and  hundreds  of  loads  of  garden 
soil  are  offered  for  sale. 

J.  M.  Sommers,  Old  York  road,  has 
made  himself  known  to  the  public  by 
having  his  name  painted  in  big  letters  on 
his  back  fence.  He  will  erect  another 
greenhouse  this  summer. 

Thomas  Craig,  formerly  with  E.  D. 
Hopkins,  is  now  with  B.  F.  Deford, 
Joppa  road,  Towson.  J.  L.  T. 


ToPEKA,  Kan. — April  16  was  dande- 
lion day  in  Topeka,  by  proclamation  of 
the  mayor.  Every  man  was  expected  to 
dig  the  dandelions  out  of  his  own  yard, 
and  Governor  Hoch  announced  in  ad- 
vance that  he  would  close  the  statehouse 
and,  with  officers  and  clerks,  get  the 
dandelions  out  of  the  statehouse  lawn.

MABELLE 

MEW  PINK  CARNATIOW  FOR  1907 

Color — A  peculiar  shade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lighter  than  the  Law- 
son.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the  brightest  sun  does  not 
injure  the  color.  Slae— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
established.  Odor  —  Pleasing,  but  not  strong. 
Stems- Invariably  strong,  but  always  graceful,  rang- 
ing from  12  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Habltt 
etc— A  very  quick,  active  grower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  Oa  ac- 
count of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  very 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  away  rapklly,  blooms  early 
and  gives  long  stems  ri^ht  from  the  start.  Product- 
iTenesi — Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
use  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  and 
late,  we  have  ever  grown.  Stock  limited.  No  discount. 
Price  112.00  per  100;  1100.00  per  1000.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review. 


April  18,  1907. 


OMAHA« 

State  of  Trade. 

Trade  is  keeping  up  well  after  Easter 
and  the  rush  that  we  had.  Easter  was 
the  best  we  ever  had.  Plants  and  cut 
flowers  were  plentiful  and  sold  well. 
Easter  lilies  were  scarce.  The  Easter 
window  displays  were  fine. 

The  florists  are  now  busy  getting  bed- 
ding plants  ready  for  the  spring  trade, 
which  promises  to  be  a  record  breaker. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Florists'  Club  met  last  week  with 
a  good  attendance.  M.  Stauch,  an  active 
member  of  the  club  who  has  been  the 
foreman  at  the  Wilcox  greenhouses  for 
the  last  seven  years,  is  about  to  take  a 
position  with  the  Pittsburg  Rose  and  Car- 
nation Co.  Mr.  Stauch  has  been  a  very 
successful  grower  and  we  regret  to  see 
him  leave. 

Zimmer  Bros,  have  given  up  their  store 
at  Nineteenth  and  Farnam  streets. 

L.  Henderson  has  been  busy  for  the 
last  six  months  remodeling  his  green- 
houses at  South  Omaha  and  is  now  hav- 
ing plans  made  for  two  new  rose  houses, 
each  25x150  feet. 

A.  Donaghue  has  moved  from  North 
Sixteenth  street  to  the  Farnam  street 
store  and  is  now  running  the  twp  stores 
together.  L.  H. 

MEDIQNE  HAT,  MAN. 

Butchart  &  Kettles,  of  Winnipeg,  met 
the  board  of  trade  and  the  council  April 
11  in  reference  to  a  project  to  establish 
a  greenhouse  in  this  city.  The  enterprise 
is  one  of  considerable  magnitude,  as  the 
intention  is  to  grow  cut  flowers  to  supply 
the  trade  in  the  province.  The  establish- 
ment of  the  industry  would  mean  an  ex- 
penditure in  the  first  year  of  from  $30,- 
000  to  $35,000,  using  natural  gas  for 
heating.  Butchart  &  Kettles  expressed 
themselves  as  willing  to  pay  the  manu- 
facturers '  rate  for  the  gas,  but  asked  for 
some  assistance  in  securing  a  site,  the 
value  of  land  conveniently  situated  being 
almost  prohibitive.  The  city  council  will 
meet  this  need  by  giving  five  acres  off  the 
park  in  the  Johnson  survey  at  the  same 
figure  for  which  it  was  bought  last  year 
on  the  conditions  that  the  sum  mentioned 
is  invested  and  the  industry  operated  as 
a  growing  concern  for  five  years. 


Henderson,  Ky. — C.  A.  Morgan,  E. 
A.  Eckert  and  W.  D.  Lambert  have  or- 
ganized a  company  and  incorporated  it 
under  the  name  of  the  Morgan  Floral 
Co.     The  capital  stock  is  $3,500.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


April  18,  1907. 


RHINEBECK,  N.  Y. 

It  is  said  Aat  the  panic  in  stocks  iji 
March  cost  the  florists  of  New  York 
city  half  a  million  dollars  in  lessened 
sales  during  the  week  before  Easter,  but 
this  is  probably  much  exaggerated.  At 
any  rate  there  was  no  evidence  of  loss 
of  business  here  in  the  center  of  the 
violet  raising  district,  where  shipments 
were  much  greater  than  last  year.  At 
Rhinebeck  820  boxes  of  violets  were 
shipped  by  express  on  the  Saturday  be- 
fore Easter,  where  but  450  were  shipped 
on  the  corresponding  day  last  year.  A 
great  many  new  violet  houses  have  been 
erected  during  the  last  year  around 
Poughkeepsie  and  Rhinebeck.  The  Ga- 
zette estimates  that  the  Rhinebeck  ship- 
ments during  Easter  week  brought 
$12,500  to  the  growers  of  the  neighbor- 
hood. 


DALLAS,  TEX. 

The  women's  organization  of  Dallas, 
which  includes  in  its  membership  the 
class  of  people  who  are  accustomed  to 
accomplishing  the  things  they  undertake, 
is  planning  to  hold  an  autumn  flower 
show  which  shall  be  big  enough  to  at- 
tract national  attention.  It  is  the  in- 
tention to  make  a  grand  success  of  it 
and,  as  a  matter  of  course,  first-class 
premiums  will  be  offered,  so  as  to  in- 
duce the  leading  growers  all  over  the 
country  to  exhibit.  This  is  the  first  time 
a  really  important  flower  show  has  been 
planned  and  quite  naturally  all  possible 
outside  aid  is  sought.  The  local  florists 
are  putting  their  shoulder  to  the  wheel 
in  good  shape.  R.  Nicholson,  of  the 
Texas  Seed  &  Floral  Co.,  is  especially 
interested  in  the  matter  and  will  be  glad 
to  have  suggestions  from  any  one  who 
has  an  idea  which  will  help  along  the 
show. 

Salt  Lake  City,  Utah. — D,  Laws,  of 
the  Salt  Lake  Floral  Co.,  has  started 
work  on  a  residence  on  State,  between 
Eleventh  and  Twelfth  South  streets. 

Batavia,  N.  Y. — On  the  morning  of 
April  6  August  Rathgob,  an  employee 
of  Paul  Liebsch,  drank  a  quantity  of 
Nico-fume  extract,  mistaking  it  for 
whiskey,  but  found  it  a  very  poor  sub- 
stitute.     It   is   thought   ho   will    recover.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review^ 


April  18,  1907. 


«TTSBURG. 


The  Market 


A  week  of  miserable  -weather  has 
shortened  up  stock  and  business  has  im- 
proved enough  to  use  all  the  good  stock 
coming  in,  but  prices  have  not  improved 
much  and  Beauties  seem  to  fare  worse 
than  anything  else.  These  conditions  give 
the  retailers  more  work,  put  them  in  a 
better  humor  and  relieve  the  wholesale 
houses  of  part  of  their  burden.  Satur- 
day found  almost  everyone  pretty  well 
cleaned  up.' 

Carnations  are  scarcer  than  at  any 
time  for  a  good  while,  but,  as  there 
seems  to  be  a  break  in  the  weather,  no 
doubt  they  will  come  along  in  a  few 
days.  Bulbous  stock  is  not  so  much  in 
evidence,  but  there  is  not  much  demand 
for  the  little  coming  in. 

"When  one  sees  the  florists  buying  coal 
for  their  wagon  heaters  in  the  middle  of 
April  it  is  hard  to  believe  that  we  are 
in  the  middle  of  spring. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Pittsburg  Cut  Flower  Go.  is  dis- 
posing of  quantities  of  yellow  Spanish 
iris,  white  antirrhinum,  yellow  daisies 
and  sweet  peas. 

The  new  city  administration  is  trying 
to  clean  up  the  market  house  by  remov- 
ing all  stands  on  the  outside,  against  the 
wall.  This  will  remove  about  four  cut 
flower  stands,  and  while  most  of  them 
will  get  outside  stands  they  will  all  be 
inconvenienced  a  good  deal  and  will  not 
be   able   to   make   the  same   show. 

Hoo-Hoo. 


DETROIT. 


The  Market.       %* 

There  has  been  a  noticeable  lull  in-i 
business.  With  the  exception  of  funeral 
work,  there  has  been  nothing  doing.  Cool, 
dark  days  have  had  their  effect  on  the 
shipments.  The  local  commission  houses 
cleaned  up  well  last  week  on  all  stock. 
Edses  and  carnations  are  of  good  qual- 
ity.   Smilax  and  ferns  are  very  scarce. 

Various  Notes. 

The  opening  of  the  baseball  season  on 
Thursday,  April  11,  created  a  scarcity 
of  help  at  most  of  the  floral  establish- 
ments about  town.  H.  S. 


ZiON  City,  III. — C.  A.  Martin  has 
bought  the  greenhouses  formerly  con- 
ducted as  the  Horticultural  Department 
of  Zion  City. 

Madison,  Ind. — Fred  W.  Pfister  has 
recently  completed  his  new  residence  and 
moved  into  it.

I  And  the  Review  advertisements  bring  satis- 
fied customers  when  one  has  flrst-class  stock. 
To  say  I  am  satisfied  with  the  Review  hardly

the  Review.       W.   C.    SCOVELL,  Malta,   Ohio.

HEATING  SMALL  PLACES. 


Importance  of  the  Subject. 

The  proper  heating  of  a  modern 
greenhouse  is  a  problem  involving  a 
number  of  special  features  quite  differ- 
ent from  those  which  pertain  to  almost 
any  other  type  of  structure,  A  uniform 
and  constant  temperature  is  absolutely 
essential  to  success,  and  any  plant  which 
fails  to  furnish  this  must  in  the  end 
cause  a  good  deal  of  loss  and  anxiety  to 
the  owner.  Near  Philadelphia  there  is  a 
single  small  greenhouse  holding  a  collec- 
tion of  orchids,  the  value  of  which  is 
estimated  at  $50,000. 

Beliability  of  any  heating  plant  for  a 
greenhouse  is  thus  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant considerations.  In  the  past  the, 
heating  plants  of  gi'eenhouses  have  too 
often  been  chiefly  a  matter  of  makeshift, 
and  trouble  has  been  a  constant  factor 
in  the  situation.  A  good  deal  of  this  has 
been  due  to  the  desire  on  the  part  of  the 
owner  to  install  a  heating  plant  as 
cheaply  as  possible.  In  some  cases  sec- 
ond-hand heaters,  steam  and  hot  water 
pipes  have  been  purchased  and  assem- 
bled. Not  being  a  perfect  unit,  the 
plant  has  discouraged  many  owners  from 
undertaking  the  work  the  second  time. 

Only  the  past  half-dozen  years,  it  may 
be  said,  has  the  greenhouse  heating  sys- 
tem received  the  attention  it  deserves, 
but  the  construction  and  designing  of 
greenhouses  have  reached  a  stage  where 
comparatively  excellent  results  can  be 
obtained.  However,  the  tightest  and 
warmest  greenhouse  without  an  appro- 
priate beating  plant  may  prove  worth- 
less. 

The  proper  heating  of  a  greenhouse 
demands  the  best  services  of  an  expert, 
for  in  our  varying  climate,  conditions 
are  rarely  the  same  in  any  number  of 
states.  Moreover,  the  nature  of  the 
stock  grown  must  be  a  determining  fac- 
tor. The  rapid  changes  in  our  winter 
climate  likewise  require  proper  ventila- 
tion and  automatic  control  of  the  heat- 
ing plant  to  prevent  the  temperature  in 
the  house  from  injuring  the  plants 
through  excessive  heat.  Nearly  as  much 
damage  is  done  to  greenhouse  plants 
from  too  high  a  temperature  as  from 
too  low. 

Water  Best  for  Small  Houses, 

A  hot  water  plant  properly  installed 
and  equipped  serves  the  purpose  of  heat- 
ing a  small  greenhouse  better  than  any 
other  system.  The  heat  from  hot  water 
circulation  imparts  a  mild  and  congenial 
warmth  to  the  air,  and  at  the  same  time

In  designing  the  heating  apparatus  for 
a  greenhouse,  estimates  are  figured  gen- 
erally upon  a  basis  of  55  to  60  degrees 
to  be  maintained  in  the  temperature  of 
the  house  in  zero  weather.  An  average 
temperature  of  150  degrees  in  the  pipes 
is  calculated  upon  to  secure  this  result.

Florence  Constrnctioo. 

There  has  been  no  change  in  the 
d'sign  of  the  FLORENCE  since  it  was 
jijst  created.  There  have  been,  of  course, 
i  iprovements  and  modifications,  but 
ro  change  in  the  principle. 

It  is  so  perfect  now  that  we  don't 
i.elieve  it  can  be  improved,  but  if  it  can, 
:i,  will  be  done.  We  don't  beheve  in 
{-•eakish  things  or  marvelous  things, 
.  iid  for  this  reason,  the  FLORENCE 
l.as  never  swerved  from  its  standard  of 
(  xcellence,  save  to  grow  better  as  science 
jiows  the  way. 

FLORENCE  HEATERS  are  man- 
ufactured at  Belvidere,  111.,  by  the 
Columbia  Heater  Co.,  where  their  main 
otiice  is  also  located.  The  Chicago  Sales 
Department  is  located  at  36  Dearborn 
St.,  Chicago,  where  you  are  cordially 
invited  .to  inspect  their  samples  on 
exhibition.

mailed  to  you  from  either  of  the  above 
addresses.

Such  estimates  are  modified  somewhat 
by  the  character  of  the  greenhouse  it- 
self, such  as  shape  and  dimensions,  and 
whether  constructed  of  brick  or  wood, 
single  or  double-boarded,  and  also  the 
direction  in  which  the  greenhouse  faces. 
All  of  these  factors  modify  the  condi- 
tions, so  that  the  engineer  must  make 
his  calculations  for  the  size  of  the  boiler 
required  upon  exact  facts.  The  nature 
of  the  fuel  intended  for  use  is  another 
point  that  must  be  considered,  for 
where  soft  coal  is  to  be  burned  a  larger 
boiler  is  generally  recommended  than 
for  hard  coal.  The  proper  siding  and 
construction  of  the  greenhouse  insures 
protection  from  cold  outside  drafts,  so 
that  the  heating  is  much  easier  arranged. 

Kind  of  Boilers. 

For  small  houses  the  ordinary  round 
boiler  answers  all  purposes,  and  owing 
to  its  cheaper  cost,  is  most  popular;  but 
for  large  houses  sectional  steam  and 
water  boilers  are  necessary.  A  cast- 
iron  sectional  boilet.  properly  made  and 
of  the  right  dimensions  gives  satisfactory 
results.  They  are  safer,  more  durable, 
and  more  economical  for  this  kind  of 
lieating  than  common  wrought-iron  or 
i^teel  tubular  boilers.  If  properly  de- 
>*igned  they  can  be  set  independent  of 
brick-work  and  in  such  a  way  as  to  oc- 
<upy  less  space.  These  considerations 
liave  made  this  type  of  boiler  popular, 
!>ut  special  steel  boilers  are  largely  used. 
A  boiler  for  a  greenhouse  should  be 
simple  in  management  and  capable  of 
•naintaining  a  steady  temperature  from 
ight  to  ten  hours  without  attention.  It 
also  should  be  economical  in  operation 
;ind  cost  of  repairs,  and  every  part  easy 
of  access  for  cleaning.  The  man  running 
•''  commercial  greenhouse  can  not  em- 
I'loy  an  engineer  to  look  after  his  hot 
''vater  or  steam  plant,  and  he  is  not  gen- 
'Tally  much  of  an  engineer  himself.  For 
*his  reason  the  plant  must  be  laid  out  on 
f'iniple  lines  and  with  as  few  technicali- 
ties as  possible.  The  boiler  must  be 
largely  automatic  in  its  operation.

Methods  of  Piping. 

The  layout  and  dimensions  of  the 
mains  and  radiating  pipes  should  be  so 
as.  to  distribute  the  heat  economically 
and  uniformly.  It  is  fatal  to  a  green- 
house to  have  one  part  overheated  and 
another  part  underheated.  A  good  deal 
of  the  result  will  depend  upon  the  size 
and  direction  of  the  mains  so  as  to  keep 
up  an  active  circulation.  The  open  tank 
hot  water  apparatus  probably  gives  the 
best  results.  In  a  properly  constructed 
plant  the  entire  control  of  the  heat 
should  be  regulated  by  the  draught 
damper  on  the  boiler  after  the  pipe 
coils  have  once  been  heated.  The  fire 
should  be  increased  or  decreased  by  the 
draught  regulator,  so  that  the  tempera- 
ture can  be  made  to  suit  any  weather. 
By  means  of  the  chimney  draught  the 
temperature  of  the  greenhouse  is  in- 
creased or  decreased  automatically. 

In  the  open  tank  system  of  hot  water 
heating  for  greenhouses  the  dimensions 
of  the  boiler  are  first  made  to  suit  the 
needs  of  the  house,  or  of  such  size  as 
necessary  to  heat  the  amount  of  radiat- 
ing surface  estimated  essential  for  a 
given  space.  The  boiler  is  connected  at 
the  bottom  and  top  with  the  flow  and 
return  mains,  and  branches  are  taken 
from  the  mains  to  the  coils  of  radiating 
pipes.  In  the  pipe  header  there  should 
be  placed  an  automatic  air  valve  which 
will  permit  the  air  which  accumulates  in 
the  pipes  to  escape.

The  Market 


For  the  last  fortnight  trade  in  all  hor- 
ticultural lines  has  not  been  brisk,  as 
compared  with  the  exceptionally  large 
business  we  have  all  been  doing  lately. 
There  has  been  reason  for  this  in  the 
unseasonable  weather.  Added  to  this  we 
have-  liad  a  large  fire  in  the  very  center 
of  the  retail  district,  stopping  the  electric 
cars  and  otherwise  interfering  with  busi- 
ness. Prices,  of  course,  have  settled  to  a 
lower  and  steady  basis  since  Easter,  but 
are  not  so  low  as  they  were  a  year  ago 
at  this  time.  It  has  been  marked  lately 
that  in  roses  the  sales  of  the  Richmond 
have  been  surely  and  steadily  increasing; 
in  fact,  many  of  the  craft  feel  that  the 
great  popularity  of  this  fine  rose  is  hurt- 
ing to  quite  an  extent  the  sales  of  the 
American  Beauty.  Stock  of  all  kinds  has 
been  in  ample  supply  and  of  good  quality. 

The  Florists'  Qub. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  club  took 
place  April  9.  President  Sherman  F. 
Stephens  was  in  the  chair  and,  as  usual, 
the  members  turned  out  in  goodly  num- 
bers. The  fall  show  and  the  spring  dis- 
tribution of  seeds  to  school  children  were 
the  topics  for  discussion.  We  had  one 
of  the  best  displays  of  plants  and  flow- 
ers we  have  had  since  the  point  system  of 
awards  was  started  last  fall.  John  Wil- 
liams, for  a  fine  specimen  of  Araucaria 
excelsa,  received  20  points;  R.  A.  Currie, 
for  an  excellent  pan  of  tournesol  red 
tulips,  15  points;  I.  D.  Siebert,  for  a 
vase  of  callas,  13  points,  and  some 
splendid  spikes  of  King  of  the  Blues  in 
the  single  hyacinth  class  brought  13 
points  to  Sherman  F.  Stephens.  The 
■committee  also  especially  commended 
John  Williams'  geraniums. 

A  committee  consisting  of  Messrs.  R. 
A.  Currie,  James  McKeller,  W.  Metz- 
maier,  George  Bauman  and  Jacob  Reich- 
ert,  was  chosen  to  arrange  the  annual 
field  day.  It  was  also  planned  to  hold  a 
rose  and  strawberry  show  in  June,  and 
to  make  the  occasion  a  ladies'  night. 

Various  Notes.

The  Market 


.  There  is  au  abundance  of  stock  on 
hand;  everyone  seems  to  be  carrying 
about  all  his  ice-box  capacity  will  per- 
mit. This  applies  more  particularly  to 
roses  and  carnations.  Prices,  however, 
remain  about  the  same.  Owing  to  the 
inclement  weather  the  street  merchants 
have  not  been  able  to  get  busy,  but,  as 
it  is  now  warming  up,  we  can  expect  to 
see  them  at  any  time.  Bulb  stock  is 
practically  through.  Every  dealer  still 
has  a  small  number  of  plants  on  hand 
from  Easter,  hydrangeas  being  more  in 
evidence  than  anything  else. 

It  will  be,  from  present  indications,  a 
full  month  before  any  planting  can  be 
done,  although  a  large  number  of  good 
orders  have  been  placed.  Trees  and 
shrubbery  are  occupying  the  attention  of 
those  of  the  trade  who  handle  small  lines 
of  stock,  and  there  appears  to  be  more 
activity  in  that  line  than  in  any  other. 

Minneapolis. 

The  Whitted  Floral  Co.  has  turned 
over  considerable  stock  the  last  week,  the 
demand  for  funeral  flowers  being  very 
heavy.  ^Miss  Whitted  has  established 
the  reputation  of  having  the  violet  trade 
in  the  city.  She  turned  over  between 
10,000  and  12,000  in  one  day  lately. 

The  New  York  Florists  report  business 
very  good  in  their  Nicollet  avenue  store. 
Trade  in  their  Washington  avenue  place 
has  been  quiet. 

St.PatfL 

L.  L.  May  &  Co.  have  had  a  very  busy 
week,  the  demand  being  principally  for 
funeral  work.  The  retail  seed  trade  has 
opened  nicely. 

Holm  &  Olson  say  business  is  good  and 
apparently  are  well  pleased  with  the  re- 
sults of  Easter. 

E.  F.  Lemke  continues  to  pick  some 
nice  violets.  The  demand  being  light, 
they  are  sold  at  a  smaller  price. 

The  Ramaley  Floral  Co.  reports  the 
sale  of  cut  flowers  slo^^,  -but  has  been 
favored  with  some  nice  orders  for  fu- 
neral work.

AND 


A  Point  of  View  Worth  Considering: 

It's  all  right  for  you  to  buy  your  materials  from  us,  and  we  are  always  glad  to  furnish  them— but  some- 
times a  man  doesn't  get  the  results  he  would  if  we  had  also  erected  the  house  for  him;  and  that's  why  every  year 
the  florist  is  doing  less  and  less  of  his  own  erecting. 

Here's  what  one  of  our  customers  recently  said  in  answer  to  an  inquiry  as  to  why  he  had  stopped  doing  his 
own  building:  "My  business  is  growing  flowers,  not  building  greenhouses.  I  can't  afford  to  take  the  time  from 
the  business  that  I  do  know  about,  to  experiment  with  something  that  I  know  nothing  about. ' ' 

Let  us  take  this  side  of  the  question  up  with  you  at  once.    Write  today,  you'll  be  just  as  busy  tomorrow.

If  After  Fifteen  Years 

the  same  man  continues  to  buy  his  material  of  us— doesn't  it  prove 
him  to  be  a  satisfied  customer  and  a  successful  business  man  ?  Any 
florist  who  stays  in  business  and  builds  almost  every  year  is  a  success- 
ful man— he  must  make  money  or  he  couldn't  afford  to  put  up  new 
houses.  Here's  a  line  from  a  customer  who  just  bought  a  carload 
of  material: 

eENTLEHEN:    Material  at  hand.   Thanks  for 
your  prompt  shipment.    We  now  have  31  houses         '  '

You  see  it  works  two  ways — it  gets  us  talked  about,  and  that's  good  -^ 

advertising — then  it  makes  the  man  talked  t6  (about  us)   look  us 

up.     He  looks  us  up   eimply  because  we  have  a  greenhouse  boiler 

that's^made-  especially  for  greenhouses  and  actually  does  the  work  no  other  boiler  can  do.     Not 

only  does  it,  but.does  it  with  less  coal  and  less  bother — and  we  can  prove  it. 


We  are  always  glad  to  see  the  "brick  thrower"  at  our  Sales 
OfBcea,  113:1  Broadway,  New  York.  He  can  have  the  eaelest  chair

facts  just  as  some  good-sensed  growers  have  told  them  to  us.

MUMS  IN  LETTUCE  HOUSES. 

1  have  a  bed  11x100  now  in  lettuce 
t'lMt  I  wish  to  plant  in  mums.  The  soil 
is  naturally  sandy  loam,  of  course  light- 
ened with  rotted  manure.  It  is  gravel 
s!ibsoil  and  well  drained.  What  should 
I  add  to  the  soil  for  mums?  How  far 
apart  should  they  be  planted  for  one  and 
two  flowers  to  the  plant?  Should  the 
small  plants  be  pinched  back  so  as  to 
start  two  branches  at  the  ground  line? 
"When  should  I  plant  for  best  results? 
What  date  should  cuttings  be  struck  for 
best  results?  Is  it  necessary  to  shift 
into  3-inch  pots  before  planting?  Do 
such  plants  need  supports?  "What  is  the 
difference  between  crown  and  terminal 
buds? 

The  bed  is  the  center  of  a  house  twen- 
ty-four feet  wide  and  eleven  feet  to  the 
ridge.  What  general  suggestions  can  you 
oflfer?  S.  C.  T. 


To  answer  the  questions  in  rotation,  I 
would  say  first  that  by  the  description 
I  assume  that  these  are  solid  beds  and 
that  the  grower  does  not  remove  his  soil 
every  year.  I  would  suggest  to  add  about 
two  inches  of  well  rotted  manure  and  a 
nice  sprinkle  of  bone  meal.  Turn  the 
soil  over  in  such  a  way  that  the  ingredi- 
ents are  thoroughly  mixed,  and  be  sure 
that  the  manure  is  rotted.  Better  by 
far  use  no  manure  at  all  than  to  use 
fresh  manure  of  any  description.  The 
mum  will  stand  lots  of  feeding  later  in 
the  season,  but  not  at  planting  time,  and 
it  is  no  unusual  thing  for  young  stock 
to  be  injured  rather  than  helped  by  mis- 
taken kindness  in  this  direction. 

The  distance  apart  to  plant  is  gov- 
erned largely  by  the  quality  of  flowers 
it  is  intended  to  produce,  also  to  some 
extent  by  the  variety  planted.  I  plant 
8x10  for  exhibition  flowers  and  keep  the 
plants  to  one  stem,  but  the  small-leaved 
varieties,  such  as  the  old  Ivory,  would 
have  room  enough  6x6.  I  have  seen  a 
fair  grade  of  flowers  produced  by  plant- 
ing at  the  latter  distance  and  running 
two  blooms  to  a  plant.  This  would  pro- 
duce a  medium  market  grade,  very  me- 
dium in  some  cases. 

I  would  not  pinch  the  plants  back  to 
start  two  branches  at  the  ground  line, 
except  in  the  case  of  Beatrice  May  or 
some  such  slow-growing,  dwarf  variety. 
^ly  reason  for  this  is  as  follows:  When 
^'■''G  has  too  much  heavy  foliage  around 
tl'o  plants  near  the  soil  it  prevents  the 
^iin  from  getting  to  the  soil  and  drying 
i^  out  in  the  early  fall.  This  mass  of 
f'liage  will  stay  wet  all  day,  after  the 
pi'tnts  have  been  sprayed,  and  leaf -spot 
^'  ill  invariably  start  there,  owing  to  lack 
f>f  air.  The  plant  will,  after  being 
I'ianted  a  few  weeks,  make  a  natural 
!  eak,  as  it  is  called.  In  other  words, 
'\  produces  a  bud  and  around  this  bud 
^"^•U  appear  several  shoots.  Then  you 
Ct-a  run  up  two  or  more  shoots,  as  de- 


sired. The  only  reason  I  would  not  rec- 
ommend that  course  with  the  slow  grow- 
ers is  because  it  would  be  diflStult  to  get 
a  long  enough  stem  on  them  to  cut. 

Late  in  May  or  early  in  June  is  the 
time  to  plant  for  best  results,  unless  you 
wish  to  grow  the  latest  varieties  to  flower, 
say,  for  Thanksgiving.  These  can  be 
planted  as  late  as  August  1  sind  produce 
fair  flowers. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  grow  on  into 
S-inch  pots  before  planting.  The  plants 
will  be  all  right  planted  from  2-inth  pots, 
or  from  flats,  providing  they  are  in  nice, 
healthy,  growing  condition  and  not 
starved  or  stunted  in  any  way.  It  would 
be  better  to  pot  on  into  3-inch  or  4-inch 
rather  than  have  the  plants  get  hard  and 
potbound. 

Cuttings  are  rooted  from  March  to 
July,  inclusive,  with  good  results.  Early 
varieties  should  be  rooted  early,  so  they 
have  a  chance  to  come  along.  The  late 
varieties  are  all  right  propagated  later. 

Arrangements  should  be  made  to  stake 
the  plants,  or  support  them  in  some  way, 
or  they  will  fall  all  over  the  place.  A 
straight  stem  is  a  necessary  adjunct  to 
a  good  flower. 

The  difference  between  a  crown  and 
a  terminal  bud  is  considerable.  It  is 
the  crown  bud  that  produces  the  larger 
flower  and  except  in  few  cases  the  best 
results.  Plants,  during  their  season  of 
growth,  produce  several  buds  if  grown 
along.  A  plant  set  out  in  June,  for  in- 
stance, will  produce  a  bud  some  time  in 
July.  This  is  called  by  some  a  natural 
break.     It  is  really  a  crown  bud,  but  it 


is  too  early  to  be  taken.  Another  crown 
bud  will  be  produced  in  August  and  if 
it  does  not  come  before  August  20  it 
may  be  safely  taken.  This  is  the  bud 
that  produces  the  large  flower.  If  this 
bud  is  rubbed  out  and  the  growth  of  the 
plant  continued,  another  bud  will  be  pro- 
duced late  in  September,  which  is  gen- 
erally a  terminal.  It  is  called  a  terminal 
because  it  is  the  finish,  or  terminus,  of 
all  growth  on  the  plants.  It  has  several 
small  buds  around  a  larger,  central  one, 
whereas  the  crown  bud  has  several  small 
shoots  around  it,  and  these  shoots,  if  not 
taken  off,  at  once  grow  away  and  leave 
the  bud.  Any  bud  produced  on  a  plant 
before  September  may  be  set  down  as  a 
crown  bud.  Charles  H.  Totty. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  MUM. 

In  his  interesting  contribution  to  the 
Journal  of  the  Boyal  Horticultural  So- 
ciety of  Great  Britain,  on  chrysanthe- 
mums in  Japan,  N.  Hayashi  states: 
* '  Although  the  exact  date  when  the 
chrysanthemum  began  to  be  cultivated  is 
unknown,  it  must  have  been  previous  to 
the  year  300  A.  D.,  as  we  find  the  name 
of  this  plant  mentioned  in  the  history 
of  those  days,  as  well  as  in  poetry  which 
is  known  to  have  been  written  at  that 
period.  History  gives  an  account  of  an 
occasion  when  the  Korean  court,  in  313 
A.  D.,  presented  to  our  Emperor  Nin- 
toku  some  plants  of  a  yellow-flowered 
chrysanthemum.  It  seems  to  me,  how- 
ever, that  the  cultivation  of  the  chrysan- 
themum was  at  its  best  about  the  six- 
teenth century." 


CARNATION  NOTES.- WEST. 


Planting  Out  Young  Stock. 

The  cool  wave  of  the  last  few  weeks 
has  passed  the  way  of  the  hot  one  which 
preceded  it  and,  barring  the  possibility 
of  rain,  we  should  have  a  month  of  good 
weather  for  planting  in  the  field.  The 
quicker  the  job  is  done,  once  it  is  com- 
menced, the  better  for  the  plants.  Dur- 
ing May  we  usually  have  ideal  weather 
for  the  plants  to  take  hold  and  start 
growing.  Therefore,  the  more  of  that 
period  a  plant  can  spend  in  the  field,  the 
better  it  will  be  for  it.  In  fact,  a  plant 
that  is  expected  to  make  a  fair  size  by 
the  middle  of  July  must  necessarily  be 


set-out  early  in  May.  If  you  should  have 
to  wait  a  few  days  before  you  begin  to 
plant  out  it  will  pay  you  to  make  every 
preparation  for  the  work.  Do  not  wait 
until  the  morning  you  want  to  begin 
planting  to  look  up  the  trowels  and  the 
line  and  to  look  over  your  stock  of  large 
labels,  etc.  Get  everything  together  now 
so  you  can  lay  your  hands  on  whatever  is 
needed.  If  you  grow  a  considerable  quan- 
tity and  have  several  batches  of  many 
kinds  it  will  pay  you  well,  in  time  saving, 
to  make  a  list  of  the  varieties  on  each 
bench  for  reference,  such  as  I  mentioned 
last  year.  It  consists  simply  of  begin- 
ning at  the  near  end  of  each  bench  and 
writing  down  the  names  or  numbers  oi 
the  varieties  as  they  come,  making  a  sep- 
arate list  for  each  bench.  When  getting 
the  several  batches  of  a  variety  you 
merely  run  over  your  lists  and  by  the  po- 


1740

Apbil  26,  1907. 


sition  in  the  list  you  can  tell  about 
where  on  the  bench  you  will  find  them. 

If  you  had  your  field  plowed  late  last 
fall,  as  you  should  have  done,  you  can 
use  a  hillside  plow  to  turn  it  over  this 
spring,  as  you  need  it,  day  after  day,  but 
these  plows  are  not  adapted  to  bresJdng 
up  gn'ound  that  is  packed  to  any  extent. 
With  an  ordinary  plow  you  must  plow  a 
considerable  piece  at  a  time,  else  you  will 
have  your  field  full  of  trenches.  If  you 
use  an  ordinary  plow,  have  the  field  pul- 
verized as  fine  as  possible  and  finish  up 
by  dragging  it.  This  will  m^e  a  rather 
smooth  surface,  which  will  prevent  dry- 
ing out.  It  also  does  away  with  lumpi- 
ness,  and  that  is  about  the  worst  thing  I 
know  of  for  not  only  the  plants,  but  for 
planters'  tempers. 

When  deciding  in  which  direction 
across  the  field  to  run  the  rows,  take  into 
consideration  the  slope  of  the  land  rather 
than  the  end  nearest  the  approach  or  en- 
trance to  the  field.  If  there  is  any  slope 
run  the  rows  across  it  rather  than  up 
and  down.  The  reason  for  this  is  that 
later  on,  when  you  cultivate,  you  make 
more  or  less  of  a  furrow  between  each 
row  and  when  it  rains  hard  the  water 
will  run  down  these  furrows  and  wash 
the  soil  if  the  rows  run  up  and  down. 
But  if  they  run  crosswise  the  water  will 
be  caught  in  each  row  and  must  soak  into 
the  soil  instead  of  running  off.  This  is 
of  more  importance  than  appears  at  first 


BLOOMS  DEVELOP  SLOWLY. 

I  have  a  house  of  Enchantress  and 
Lawson  carnations  which  are  producing 
very  few  blooms.  The  house  is  run  at 
about  50  degrees  to  52  degrees  at  night 
and  the  plants  are  in  a  healthy  condition. 
Each  plant  has  from  twenty  to  thirty 
flowering  shoots  and,  while  they  look 
thrifty,  they  do  not  appear  to  grow  very 
fast.  Are  there  too  many  shoots  to  each 
plant,  and  if  so  should  they  be  pruned? 
Any  information  on  this  matter  will  be 
greatly  appreciated.  I  have  not  noticed 
anything  in  the  Review  as  to  the  num- 
ber of  shoots  a  plant  should  contain. 
L.  L.  W. 

Without  knowing  more  about  your 
carnations,  I  can  not  tell  why  they  are 
not  producing  more  blooms.  It  may  be 
the  fault  of  your  culture,  or  it  may  be 
due  to  the  abnormal  weather  conditions 
which  have  prevailed  the  greater  part  of 
the  year.  The  weather  has  been  about 
as  unfavorable  to  a  steady  crop  as  it  pos- 
sibly could  have  been,  and  I  am  sure  it 
is  primarily  the  cause  of  many  benches 
being  badly  off  crop  at  this  time.  First 
there  was  a  long  cloudy  spell,  which 
tended  to  retard  all  growth,  and  espe- 
cially such  as  had  not  begun  to  run  up. 
This  alone  would  have  caused  a  lull  in 
the  crop.  But,  to  make  matters  worse, 
the  hot  wave  in  March  drove  out  what 
buds  were  on  the  plants  without  bring-

glance.  If  you  plant  so  that  you  can 
cultivate  both  ways,  of  course  it  makes 
no  difference  which  way  you  run  the 
rows. 

If  possible,  top  every  plant  a  week  be- 
fore planting  it  out.  A.  F.  J.  Baus. 

It  would  be  hard  work  to  get  along 
without  the  Review. — ^F.  A.  Doeman,

ing  on  the  next  crop  appreciably.  Then 
followed  the  colder  wave,  which  has  fur- 
ther retarded  the  progress  of  the  crop 
which  rightfully  ought  to  be  on  at  this 
time.  All  through  the  country  we  find 
the  conditions  much  the  same,  and  the 
probabilities  are  there  will  be  an  enor- 
mous glut  during  late  May  and  early 
June. 
It  is  possible,  however,  that  your  trou- 


ble may  come  from  improper  topping  last 
summer  and  fall.  If  the  cut  has  been 
light  all  winter  and  your  plants  have  con- 
tinued to  stool  out  instead  of  throwing 
up  flower  shoots,  I  would  attribute  it  to 
that  cause.  To  keep  on  topping  ui  ril 
late  in  the  fall,  after  the  plants  h:  ve 
become  of  good  size,  and  possibly  !.  te 
planting,  would  likely  cause  such  a  c  u- 
dition.  You  do  not  say  what  date  viu 
planted  or  stopped  topping,  so  I  can  o;  iv 
suggest  this  as  a  possibility. 

As  to  the  number  of  shoots  on  e.^  h 
plant,  I  would  say,  let  them  come  alo  f. 
If  the  plants  are  strong  and  healthy  ti  y 
will  carry  whatever  shoots  there  are.  1  it 
you  must  be  liberal  with  both  water  ;,  ;(i 
food.  I  would  suggest  a  dressing  of  1  le 
ground  bone  meal,  about  a  3-inch  pot  if 
it  to  a  row  across  a  5-foot  bench,  ri  d 
cover  this  with  a  good  inch  of  half  r  t- 
ted  cow  manure  or  of  well  rotted  sta  le 
manure.  If  you  can  add  to  the  lat  r 
about  one-sixth  its  bulk  of  ground  sh(  p 
manure  it  will  make  it  much  bett  r. 
Thinning  out  the  blooming  shoots  af ;  >r 
the  plants  are  well  established  is  rot 
practiced  to  any  extent  among  commer- 
cial growers.  Where  quality  is  the  prime 
factor  of  course  it  would  pay,  but  the 
commercial  grower  encourages  his  plants 
to  make  as  many  shoots  as  possible  and 
then  by  judicious  feeding  and  general 
good  culture  helps  them  to  produce  as 
high  quality  as  possible.    A.  F.  J.  Baur. 


THE  HELIANTHUS. 

The  helianthus,  which  includes  the 
common  sunflower,  is  among  the  most 
useful  of  our  coarser,  hardy,  herbaceous, 
perennial  plants.  There  are  quite  a 
number  of  species  indigenous  to  the 
United  States,  many  of  which  have  re- 
sponded quickly  to  improved  conditions 
and  a  little  good  culture.  H.  mollis  is 
one  of  these  and  so  marked  a  difference 
is  there  between  the  original  species  and 
the  well-bred  plants  offered  by  dealers 
in  hardy  stock  that  some  of  them  desig- 
nate the  variety  as  H.  mollis  grandi- 
florus. 

All  the  perennial  sunflowers  are  among 
the  most  effective  hardy  plants  for 
borders,  for  planting  among  shrubbery 
or  in  clumps  on  the  lawn.  They  are  free- 
flowering  and  will  succeed  in  poor  soil, 
although  they  are  gross  feeders  and  will 
give  evidence  of  appreciation  if  provided 
light,  fairly  rich  soil.  They  are  invalua- 
ble for  decorative  purposes  or  for  cut- 
ting in  late  summer. 

H.  mollis  has  large,  single,  lemon-yel- 
low flowers.  The  foliage  is  abundant 
and  covered  by  a  white,  downy  pubescence, 
as  are  the  stems.  It  grows  four  feci 
high  and  blooms  freely  in  July,  August 
and  September. 


ORDER  AND  CLEANLINESS. 

The  note  in  a  recent  Review,  undo 
the  above  heading,  suggests  an  importan

the  others  in  the  same  way,  the  matter 
became  easier  afterwards,  though  a  few 
things  had  to  be  neglected  to  effect  the 
change.  I  visit  a  good  many  growers  of 
miscellaneous  stock  and  I  find  those  who 
do  not  overcrowd,  and  keep  up  a  moder- 
ate stock,  do  well;  that  is,  where  they 
keep  everything  in  proper  order.  Over- 
crowding and  insufficient  labor  are  the 
chief  evils.  Things  are  put  into  the 
wrong  places,  because  there  is  no  room 
where  they  ought  to  go.  Then,  once  they 
are  mixed  up,  there  is  a  continual  waste 
of  time  in  moving. 

There  are  also  those  who  have  no  sys- 
tem and  just  muddle  things  up  together, 
many  of  which  require  quite  different 
treatment.     One  great  loss  occurs  where 


plants  which  require  fumigating  are 
mixed  up  with  those  which  are  rarely  af- 
fected by  insect  pests.  I  quite  agree  that 
keeping  the  houses  free  from  any  rub- 
bish, and  a  fresh,  clean  surface  to  the 
benches,  walks,  etc.,  is  a  great  advan- 
tage; and  in  arranging  plants  there  is  a 
great  advantage  in  doing  so  in  a  manner 
which  prevents  the  stronger  ones  from 
smothering  the  weaker  ones.  Where  they 
are  mixed  up,  it  invariably  happens  that 
the  weaker  ones  get  too  much  water  and 
not  enough  air.  System  is  a  great  factor 
and  saves  much  labor,  yet  in  many  inr 
stances  things  get  into  disorder  through 
insufficient  labor  to  keep  a  straight 
course.  -If  it  pays  to  do  a  thing  at  all, 
it  pays  to  do  it  well.

MEMORIAL  DAY. 

It  is  worth  while  noting  thus  early 
that  each  year  there  is  an  increasing 
observance  of  Memorial  day  throughout 
the  cities  of  the  north.  It  is,  of  course, 
to  be  expected  that  the  demand  for 
spring  bedding  stock  will  culminate  in  a 
Srand  rush  in  the  last  ten  days  of  May. 
This  is  not  what  is  meant  by  the  general 
observance  of  Memorial  day.  That  is  a 
flay  when  every  one  has  come  to  remem- 
l^er  those  who  have  gone  before,  by  tak- 
ing cut  flowers  to  the  cemetery.  In  the 
original  observance  of  the  day,  only  the 
old  soldiers  were  remembered.  Now  the 
custom  has  become  general.  It  is  not  an 
occasion  for  fancy  stock  or  high  prices; 


rather  for  a  plentiful  supply  at  moderate 
rates.  Large  numbers  of  prepared 
wreaths,  metal  designs,  etc.,  are  used  in 
certain  localities. 


SALTFORiyS  CONSERVATORY. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  from 
a  photograph  of  a  new  conservatory  and 
show  room  recently  added  to  the  "flower 
shop"  of  W.  G.  Saltford,  Poughkeepsie, 
N.  Y.  It  is  a  structure  which  will  inter- 
est retail  florists  for  many  reasons,  not 
the  least  of  which  is  that  it  is  erected  on 
what  would  otherwise  be  the  roof  of  the 
store.  As  the  picture  shows,  a  stairway 
four  feet  wide  leads  from  the  store 
proper  to  this  show  room  on  the  second 


floor.  The.  house  is  20x40,  with  a  con- 
crete floor,  so  that  water  may  be  used 
freely  without  endangering  the  decora- 
tions of  the  store  below.  The  benches 
also  are  of  concrete.  The  frame  of  the 
house  is  of  iron,  with  the  bent  glass  con- 
struction at  the  caves,  being  the  most 
ornamental  style  of  house  yet  devised. 
Double  thick  ground  glass  is  used  and 
the  house  is  lighted  at  night  with  five 
fifty  candle-power  electric  lamps. 

The  house  was  completed  just  in  time 
for  the  Easter  display  and  proved  a 
great  help  in  handling  the  large  amount 
of  business  done  that  week.  Mr.  Salt- 
ford  says  that  it  is  also  interesting  to 
note  that  this  house,  located  as  it  is,  is 
the  best  advertisement  he  ever  secured, 
because  it  provokes  much  comment 
among  people  who  never  before  saw  a 
greenhouse  off  the  ground. 


RETAILER'S  ADVERTISING. 

A.  F.  Fiedler  &  Co.,  Baltimore,  Md., 
have  issued  ' '  Messengers  of  Sentiment, ' ' 
which  should  have  a  beneficial  effect 
upon  retail  trade  if  distributed  to  a 
class  of  flower  buyers.  This  is  a  neatly 
printed  booklet  with  quotations  from  tlic 
poets,  also  with  an  interpretation  of  the 
language  of  flowers'  and  other  suitable 
matter.  One  of  the  best  features  is  a 
page  of  suggestions  for  flower  combina- 
tions, which  might  well  be  elaborated  to 
the  advantage  of  the  business. 


SUNDAY  FUNERALS. 

The  question  of  Sunday  funerals  is 
one  which  is  being  agitated  all  over  the 
country.  In  some  sections  the  movement 
to  do  away  with  Sunday  interments  is 
meeting  with  the  support  of  florists  and 
in  other  localities  they  are  opposing  any 
change  as  being  calculated  to  reduce,  the 
business  done  in  funeral  flowers.  This 
not  only  is  a  narrow  view,  but  one  not 
warranted  by  the  experience  of  those  who 
do  business  in   cities  where   Sunday  fu-

nerals  have  been  discontinued  for  some 
time.  In  these  cases  it  has  been  found 
that  there  is  no  loss  of  business  because^ 
of  limiting  burials  to  week  days.  The 
same  amount  of  work  is  called  for  and 
the  florist  has  the  advantage  that  it  is 
not  necessary  to  keep  open  on  Sunday  to 
make  and  deliver  funeral  designs.  There 
is  everything  in  favor  of  the  proposition 
to  do  away  with  Sunday  burials  and 
those  cemeteries  which  are  taking  up  the 
matter  should  be  encouraged  by  the  flo- 
rists. Too  much  Sunday  work  is  done  in 
most  flower  stores.  Those  who  do  busi- 
ness in  cities,  like  Boston,  where  blue 
laws  are  enforced,  lose  nothing  in  money 
and  gain  many  of  the  things  that  make 
life  worth  living. 


A  CARNATION  ARMFUL. 

A  loose  cluster  of  carnations,  tied  near 
the  lower  ends  of  the  stems  with  a  few 
sprays  of  Asparagus  Sprengeri,  is  all 
there  is  to  this  carnation  armful.  The 
arrangement  may  be  described  as  fan- 
shaped,  but  not  flat.  Every  possible 
chance  is  given  to  each  flower  to  take 
an  easy  position,  whether  it  stands  erect 
against  the  person,  falls  over  the  elbow, 
or  hangs  downward. 

As  in  other  arrangements,  each  flower 
seems  to  have  a  place  of  ics  own  and  it 
is  necessary  to  discover  just   what   and 


some  parts  and  more  closely  set  in  others. 

One  advantage  in  this  style  of  arrange- 
ment is,  that  it  shows  prettily  from  be- 
hind, and  to  one  side,  as  when  it  is 
properly  carried  a  good  portion  of  the 
flowers  fall  out  some  distance  from  the 
elbow. 

With  extra  long-stemmed  flowers  a 
variation  in  the  shape  of  this  armful 
may  be  made  by  lengthening  the  bunch 
as  it  hangs  on  the  arm  and  reducing  its 
width.  Gertrude  Blair. 


TENTED  FUNERALS. 

At  East  Lawn  cemetery,  at  Sacra- 
mento, Cal.,  tents  are  erected  by  under- 
takers for  all  funerals,  but  extra  charge 
is  made  for  decorations,  some  of  which 
are  very  elaborate.  In  one  case  wreaths 
and  festoons  of  smilax  and  Asparagus 
plumosus  were  used,  not  only  all  the 
way  around  the  walls  of  the  tent,  which 
is  20x60  feet,  but  the  center  poles  were 
covered  and  long  strings  extended  from 
the  poles  to  the  sides  of  the  tent,  and 
from  one  pole  to  the  other.  On  these 
were  hung  baskets  of  ferns.  A  screen 
was  placed  between  the  mourners  and  the 
grave,  and  all  formal  pieces  and  flowers 
were  placed  in  the  compartment  with  the 
grave.  The  grave  usually  is  lined  with 
flowers  and  covered  so  that  it  closes  as 
the  casket  is  lowered.

where  that  place  is.  No  attempt  should 
be  made  to  produce  a  imiform  weight 
throughout  the  bunch.  In  fact,  the  op-

efl'ect.     Flowers   should   be   scattered   in

pointers. 


CYCLAMEN. 

[A  paper  by  Joseph  Bradley,  of  Hastlngs-on 
Hudson,  N.  Y.,  read  before  the  Dobbs  rorrv 
Horticultural  Association,    February  23,   1907.)  " 

At  the  present  time  there  are  many 
different  strains  of  cyclamen  and  mai/v 
of  the  leading  seedsmen  claim  to  hase 
superior  strains  to  what  has  been  on  the 
market  before;  and  I  may  add,  that  bit- 
ter cyclamen  are  annually  appearing.  \\(, 
have  blooms  twice  the  size  that  we  hml 
a  few  years  ago.  Some  of  them  aic 
beautifully  fringed  and  variegated  ai)! 
the  colors  range  all  the  way  from  pu,c 
white  to  blood  red.  Also  the  foliai,c 
is  more  marked  and  if  they  bore  lo 
flowers  they  would  be  well  worth  grow- 
ing for  their  foliage  alone.  But  wih 
both  combined  they  are  among  the  fim  t 
table  plants  the  greenhouse  produces  ai  i 
should  be  more  generally  grown. 

Sowing  the  Seeds. 

The  seed  should  be  sown  during  tl  ■ 
month  of  August,  but  may  be  sown  .n 
July  or  September,  according  to  the  tini-' 
you  wish  them  to  bloom.  It  takes  fi' 
teen  to  sixteen  months  from  time  (>! 
sowing  to  time  of  blooming.  They  shoui.i 
be  sown  in  flats  about  three  inches  deeji. 
First  make  ample  drainage  by  makin^^ 
plenty  of  holes  in  the  bottom;  then  pui 
in  a  layer  of  charcoal  about  three - 
fourths  of  an  inch  thick;  this  must  1)t' 
well  broken  up.  Then  fill  the  flat  with  a 
compost  of  fibrous  loam  and  leaf -mold 
in  equal  parts,  with  some  fine  charcoal 
mixed  in  to  keep  the  soil  from  souring, 
as  it  takes  the  seeds  a  long  time  to 
germinate.  Fill  the  flat  and  scrape  ofl' 
level  with  a  lath.  Then  sow  the  seeds, 
press  down  with  a  board,  and  cover  the 
seeds  with  a  thin  layer  of  sand,  water 
and  keep  in  a  cool  place  until  the  weather 
gets  cool.  Then  place  in  a  warmer 
position  and  keep  them  in  a  temperaturo 
as  near  to  60  degrees  as  possible. 

Culture. 

When  the  bulbs  have  attained  the  sizv 
of  a  small  marble  they  may  be  potte(J 
into  small  pots;  2%-inch  will  do.  Place 
some  fine  charcoal  in  the  bottom  for 
drainage.  Use  the  same  compost  as  be- 
fore, with  a  little  well-rotted  cow  ma 
nure  added.  Keep  them  in  the  same 
heat  until  the  weather  becomes  warm; 
then  place  them  in  a  cool,  shaded  house, 
or  frame,  and  keep  them  as  cool  as 
possible  through  the  summer  months. 

When  they  have  started  into  rapiil 
growth  care  should  be  taken  that  they 
never  become  pot-bound.  It  is  well  to 
knock  one  or  two  out  of  the  pots  once 
in  a  while  and  examine  the  roots.  If  fine 
plants  are  wanted  they  must  have  plenty 
of  soil  to  work  in.  When  they  arc 
moved  into  their  second  pots  the  soil 
should  not  be  sifted,  but  broken  up  with 
the  hands  and  well  mixed.  For  this 
potting  the  compost  should  be  two-thirds 
fibrous  loam,  the  third  part  equally  di- 
vided between  well-rotted  cow  manure 
and  leaf -mold,  with  plenty  of  charcoal  in 
the  bottom  of  the  pots;  3%-inch  pots 
should  be  used. 

Care  should  be  taken  to  never  let  the 
plants  become  dry,  especially  during  the 
summer  months,  as  this  checks  them  in 
their  growth,  and  when  a  cyclamen  is 
once  checked  it  seldom  makes  a  fine  plant. 
They  should  be  moved  into  5-inch  pots 
next,  using  the  same  compost  as  before. 
After  they  are  well  established  in  these 
pots  they  can  be  fed  with  liquid  ma- 
nure. I  use  horse  manure  for  this  pur- 
pose; it  induces  a  more  rapid  growth. 
They  can   be   moved   out  of  these  pots

into  6-inch,  then  into  7-inch  for  their 
final  shift.  They  can  be  bloomed  in  5- 
iuch  or  6-inch  pots,  but  if  fine  plants  are 
needed  they  should  be  in  7-inch  or  8-inch 
pots. 

The  plants  can  be  grown  the  second 
season,  and  if  this  is  done  they  should 
not  be  dried  off,  but  enough  water  given 
to  keep  the  bulbs  plump  and  firm.  Just 
as  they  start  into  new  growth  they 
should  be  knocked  out  of  the  pots  and 
as  much  of  the  soil  removed  as  possible 
without  injury  to  the  roots.  They  should 
be  repotted  in  the  same  size  pots,  but 
will  require  larger  as  the  roots  fill  the 
pots. 

Preserviii£  the  Seed. 

Everyone  who  grows  cyclamen  in  quan- 
Hty  should  select  a  few  of  his  finest 
dooming  plants  and  keep  them  for  seed. 
'I'hey  should  be  placed  where  they  get 
the  full  sun  to  ripen  the  seed.  When 
they  are  in  full  bloom  it  is  well  to  brush 
'lie  hand  over  the  bloom  to  scatter  the 
I'oUen.     It  is  a  good  thing  to  sow  the

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  speak  of  in-

CROTON  WEISMANNI. 

Although  botanists  tell  us  that  codise- 
um  is  the  correct  botanical  name  for 
croton,  that  the  latter  is  an  erroneous 
generic  term  and  belongs  to  a  different 
section  of  the  natural  order  Euphorbia- 
cea5,  we  doubt  if  the  word  cro^pn  will 
ever  be  dropped  by  cultivators.  C. 
Weismanni  was  introduced  from  Poly- 
nesia as  far  back  as  1868  and  still  re- 
tains its  position  as  one  of  the  finest  of 
the  genus.  The  leaves  are  ten  to  four- 
teen inches  in  length,  tapering  at  the 
base,  upper  surface  dark  green  with 
golden  blotches,  mid-rib  and  margins 
golden  yellow.  The  plant  is  suitable  for 
a  centerpiece  on  a  dining-table  and  can 
be  grown  into  a  large  and  handsome 
specimen.  Like  all  crotons,  it  needs  a 
brisk,  moist  heat;  for  compost,  fibrous 
loam,  sand,  a  little  charcoal  and  some 
well  dried  cow  manure  or  sheep  manure. 
By  judicious  feeding  large  plants  can  be 
grown  in  very  small  pots.  In  summer, 
crotons  and  dracsenas  succeed  best  in  a 
frame,  where  they  can  be  syringed  and 
closed  up  early.  In  such  a  place  they 
grow  much  more  luxuriantly  than  in  any 
greenhouse.  W.  N.  Craio. 


WHY  USE  CYPRESS? 

Every  manufacturer  of  greenhouse 
material  is  called  upon,  many  times  a 
season,  to  answer  the  question,  "Why 
use  cypress?"  Of  recent  years  not 
many  experienced  florists  use  material 
turned  out  by  local  mills,  but  the  be- 
ginner in  the  business  always  is  from 
Missouri  in  the  sense  that  he  has  to  be 
shown  why  cypress  is  better  than  pine, 
or  hemlock,  or  some  other  wood  the  local 


mill  would  like  to  work  up  into  sash- 
bars.  To  answer  the  question  the  John 
C.  Moninger  Co.,  Chicago,  has  pre- 
pared a  neatly  printed  circular,  which 
is  in  part  as  follows: 

"Cypress  grows  to  a  great  age;  h 
tree  now  growing  in  the  Alps  is  saiil 
to  have  been  there  during  the  time  of 
Julius  Caesar.  Napoleon,  when  cross- 
ing the  Simplon,  went  out  of  his  way 
to  leave  it  standing.  The  tree  grows  in 
the  south  of  Europe,  East  Indies,  China, 
Mexico,  Guatemala  and  North  America. 
The  wood  of  the  cypress  is  close  grained 
and  of  a  fine  reddish  hue.  Among  the 
ancients  it  was  in  request  for  poles, 
rafters,  joists,  and  for  the  construction 
of  wine  presses  and  mrjrfcal  instru- 
ments; and  on  that  account  was  so 
valuable  that  a  plantation  of  cypress 
was  considered  a  sufficient  dowry  for 
a  daughter. 

"Owing  to  the  durability  of  the  wood 
it  was  employed  for  mummy  cases  and 
images  of  the  gods.  A  statue  of 
Jupiter  carved  out  of  cypress  is  stated 
by  Pliny  to  have  existed  600  years 
without  showing  signs  of  decay.  Mummy 
cases  have  been  found  in  the  pyramids 
of  Egypt,  of  great  age  and  perfectly 
preserved.  The  gates  of  Constantinople, 
made  out  of  cypress  wood,  lasted  for 
eleven  centuries,  and  the  doors  of 
ancient  St.  Peter's  at  Rome,  when  re- 
moved by  Eugeniu's  IV,  were  about 
1,100  years  old,  but  nevertheless  in  a 
state  of  perfect  preservation.  Laws 
were  engraved  on  cypress  by  the  ancients 
and  articles  of  value  were  preserved 
in  receptacles  made  of  it.

the  authorized  version,  1  Kings  5:8  and 
6:15,  2  Chron.  2:8,  and  many  other 
passages,  is  supposed  to  signify  the 
cypress,  also  the  gopher  wood  referred 
to  in  Gen.  6:14,  of  which  wood  Noah 
built  the  ark. 

'  "i  He  cypress,  which  grows  no  more 
when  once  cut  down,  was  regarded  as  a 
symbol  of  the  dead  and  perhaps  for 
that  reason  was  sacred  to  Pluto;  its 
branches  were  placed,  by  the  Greeks 
and  Eomans,  on  the  funeral  pyres  and 
in  the  houses  of  their  departed  friends. 
The  cypress  was  the  tree  into  which 
Cyparissus,  a  beautiful  youth  beloved 
by  Apollo,  was  transformed  that  he 
might  grieve  for  all  time.  All  through 
history  the  cypress  is  referred  to  and 
it  is  one  of  the  remarkable  woods  of 
the  world.  It  has  at  all  times  been 
considered  the  most  durable  wood  and  is 
also  highly  resistant  to  the  attack  of  in- 
sects. 

'  *  The  conditions  under  which  a  tree 
grows,   are  the   conditions  to  which  the 


wood  of  that  tree  is  best  adapted,  and 
this  fact  is  especially  true  of  the 
cypress.  Cypress  grown  in  the  flooded 
swamps  bordering  on  the  Gulf  of 
Mexico  is  best  suited  to  the  moisture 
and  heat  of  a  greenhouse  and  that 
which  grows  under  dry  conditions  is 
used  for  residences  and  buildings  of 
that   character. 

"Sap  in  cypress  greenhouse  material 
is  a  fatal  defect  and  only  those  that 
have  had  a  long  and  thorough  ex- 
perience with  the  wood  can  detect  its 
presence.  Not  one  florist  out  of  fifty 
knows  what  'stained'  sap  is,  or  can  tell 
it  in  a  piece  of  lumber — very  few 
know  what  sap  is  or  know  whether  it  is 
in  the  material  or  not. 

"In  view  of  the  above  it  is  strange 
that  occasionally  a  man  is  found  who 
wants  a  different  kind  of  wood  for  his 
greenhouse — who  wants  cedar  or  some 
other  wood — but  if  you  get  cypress,  anil 
the  right  kind  of  cypi^ss,  you  will  make 
no   mistake. ' '

M.  CRAWFORD. 

M.  Crawford,  the  well-known  horticul- 
turist, whose  portrait  appears  in  this 
issue,  has  removed  his  large  stock  of 
gladiolus  bulbs  from  Cuyahoga  Falls, 
O.,  to  the  tract  of  ground  owned  by  the 
Shiocton  Garden  Land  Co.,  at  Shiocton, 
Wis.  In  this  new  location  he  will  not 
only  continue  to  give  attention  to  his 
own  specialty,  the  raising  of  gladiolus 
bulbs,  but  will  also  superintend  the 
horticultural  experiments  of  the  Shiocton 
Garden  Land  Co.  Extensive  gardens  of 
vegetables  will  be  grown  by  the  com- 
pany under  Mr.  Crawford 's  direction,  and 
experiments  will  be  carried  on  in  order 
to  determine  the  kinds  of  vegetables  for 
which  the  soil  is  best  suited.  Mean- 
while Mr.  Crawford  will  also  act  as 
editor  of  the  horticultural  department  of 
the  Shiocton  News  and  of  the  Black 
("reek  Times. 

Though  in  early  life  his  opportunities 
for  self-improvement  were  limited,  Mr. 
Crawford  is  now  well  fitted,  both  by 
theoretical  knowledge  and  by  practical 
experience,  for  the  performance  of  these 
varied  duties.  He  has  been  actively  en- 
gaged in  horticulture  for  more  than  half 
a  century.  He  is  also  well  known  as  a 
writer  and  lecturfy  on  horticultural  sub- 
jects, and  is  an  acknowledged  authority 
in  several  branches  of  the  science. 

Mr.  Crawford  was  born  in  County 
Antrim,  Ireland,  in  1839.  While  he  was 
still  very  young  his  father  died,  and 
when  he  was  only  10  years  old  he  and  his 
younger  brother  were  brought  by  their 
mother  to  America,  and  the  family  set- 
tled in  Ohio.  About  1850  they  made  their 
home  in  Cleveland,  and  six  years  after- 
ward Mr.  Crawford  began  work  on  the 
large  market  garden  conducted  by  the 
late  George  H.  Lodge  in  that  city.  From 
that  date  he  has  been  engaged  con- 
tinuously in  horticultural  work.  In  1876 
he  began  the  raising  of  strawberry  plants 
for    the     trade,     and     since     the     early 


eighties  he  has  been  carrying  on  a 
steadily  increasing  business  in  the  grow- 
ing of  gladiolus  bulbs.  Recently  he  has 
sown  as  much  as  fifty  pounds  of  gladio- 
lus seed  in  a  single  year,  and  it  is  ex- 
pected that  this  season  he  will  grow  over 
two  million  of  the  bulbs.  But  though  he 
has  given  special  attention  to  the  straw- 
berry and  the  gladiolus,  he  has  also 
been  a  constant  experimenter  in  many 
kinds  of  flowers,  vegetables  and  fruits, 
trying  new  varieties  of  plants  and  test- 
ing various  methods  of  culture.  It  is 
thought  that  no  better  man  could  have 
been    found    to    carry    on    the   series    of 


BUDDLEIA  ASIATICA. 

I  have  heard  various  opinions  coueciii- 
ing  Buddleia  Asiatica,  says  a  writer  in 
the  Horticultural  Advertiser,  whirh, 
though  introduced  about  thirty  years 
ago,  has  only  recently  come  to  the  frdiit. 
I  find  few  of  the  market  growers  c;.ie 
to  take  it  up  at  present,  yet  it  may  l,e 
worth  more  than  some  think  it  is.  I  m.iy 
be  going  a  little  out  of  the  way  in  mvX-. 
ing  any  suggestions  regarding  a  plaat 
I  have  not  grown  myself,  but  sevcj.il 
growers  have  said  that  there  was  imt 
enough  in  a  pot,  and  it  appears  to  ,  !e 
that  it  is  one  of  those  plants  which,  ii'. 
instead  of  being  grown  singly,  three  tr 
more  were  grown  in  the  same  pot,  mc/iv 
satisfactory  results  would  be  obtaine !. 
I  find  it  roots  freely  from  cuttings,  an. I 
once  get  a  few  good  stock  plants  there 
would  be  little  difficulty  in  getting  a 
large  crop  of  cuttings.  I  anl  told  that 
although  considered  nearly  hardy,  it  is 
only  under  glass  that  it  can  be  flowered 
satisfactorily.  It  may  be  that  some  mar- 
ket grower  will  take  it  in  hand  and  prove 
its  usefulness.  What  a  long  time  it  was 
before  Eose  Crimson  Rambler  came  to 
be  recognized  as  of  any  value  for  mark(n 
trade. 


St.  Johnsbuey,  Vt. — James  Burns  is 
superintending  the  landscape  work  at 
Speedwell  Farms,  Lyndonville,  where  a 
new  range  of  greenhouses  also  is  beini; 
erected.  During  his  absence  Mrs.  Bums 
has  charge  of  the  business  here. 

Spkingfield,  III. — The  state  of  Illi 
nois  is  making  effort  to  collect  from  for 
mer  state  treasurers  the  sum  of  interest 
pocketed  on  deposits  of  public  money. 
A  number  of  the  state  treasurers  are 
dead  and  action  is  being  taken  against 
their  estates  or  their  bondsmen.  George 
M.  Brinkerhoff,  the  florist,  has  been  on 
the  bonds  of  six  state  treasurers.

Gardenias* 

From  the  larger  markets  cpme  reports 
of  an  increasing  demand  for  the  highly 
perfumed  gardenia,  or  cape  jasmine.  In 
Texas,  Florida  and  other  warm  states 
these  do  splendidly  out  of  doors.  Many 
are  shipped  north,  but  on  arrival  are 
only  poor  apologies  of  what  the  flowers 
are  when  picked.  Their  petals  are  easily 
bruised  and  great  care  is  needed  in  pack- 
ing to  secure  their  arrival  at  the  stores 
or  markets  in  a  presentable  condition.  In 
our  northern  states,  gardenia  culture  is 
steadily  increasing.  The  flower  is  more 
popular  than  the  orchid  for  boutonnieres 
and  commands  a  high  price  during  the 
winter  months  and  a  fair  sum  is  usually 
realized  on  flowers  produced  in  spring, 
the  natural  flowering  time  of  the  plant. 
Any  florist   possessing  a  house  where  a 


minimum  temperature  of  60  to  65  dc 
grees  can  be  kept  up  in  zero  weather  can 
grow  gardenias  well.  If  hot  water  oi 
steam  pipes  are  laid  under  the  benches 
to  give  a  little  bottom  heat,  all  the  bet 
ter.  These  need  not  be  within  two  fee 
of  the  bottom  of  the  bench.  All  that  i 
needed  is  a  little  warmth  for  the  soil. 

Many  growers  handle  these  plants  onb 
in  pots.  For  mid-winter  blooming  thi 
has  some  advantage,  for  buds  form  mon 
quickly  on  pot  plants  than  on  thosr 
grown  planted  out,  but  for  size  of  bloom 
quantity  and  dark  green,  vigorous  fob 
age,  bench  culture  is  essential. 

The  propagation  of  gardenias  is  sim 
pie.  Cuttings  rubbed  off  with  a  heel,  o" 
cut  below  a  pair  of  leaves,  and  insertei' 
in  a  propagating  house  with  a  good  bot- 
tom heat  and  a  top  heat  of  65  to  70  de- 
grees at  night,  will  be  well  rooted  and

lit  to  pot  off  in  four  weeks  if  kept 
vhjicled  from  the  sun  and  well  soaked 
^vitli  water.  Plenty  of  water  is  neces- 
sary. Water  three  times  a  day  if  bright 
jinci  leave  them  damp  at  night.  There  is 
,1,1  fear  of  their  rotting  off,  as  many 
>;  ijt-wooded  plants  would  do. 

tJse  a  rather  light,  leaf-moldy  soil  for 
*;,.;  first  potting,  a  heavier  one  for  suc- 
cessive shifts.  Don't  use  finely  screened 
^,,il*  the  coarser  the  better.  A  mixture 
i>::  fibrous  loam,  dried  cow  manure,  a  lit- 
,!,'  broken  charcoal  and  some  sharp  sand 
H  suitable.  If  you  decide  to  grow  in 
pols,  you  can  still  procure  good  stuff  in 
i:  inch  pots  by  propagating  now. 

Gardenias  on  Benches. 

If  bench  culture  is  preferred,  put 
plenty  of  coarse  drainage  in  the  bottom. 
Sliake  out  the  finer  particles  of  soil, 
•,liich  will  only  make  the  soil  soggy.  A 
<  I  impost  is  needed  which  will  carry  water 
through  it  speedily  and  which  dries  out 
readily.  Plant  out  stock  frorii  4-inch 
|/()ts,  two  feet  between  the  rows  and 
eighteen  inches  between  the  plants.  Leave 
the  soil  around  each  plant  elevated  some- 
what,  to  form  a  sort  of  mound.  The 
jii.ints  need  frequent  syringing  to  keep 
down  mealy  bug  and  this  allows  the 
l)cnch  to  dry  out  better  than  if  you  had 
a  level  surface.  We  find  two  or  three 
syringings  a  week  with  a  good  spray  noz- 
zle attached  to  the  hose  will  keep  the 
])lants  absolutely  clean.  A  light  spraying 
overhead  once  or  twice  a  day  is  helpful, 
l)ut  by  using  the  nozzle  under  the  plants 
and  directing  the  water  upward  as  well 
as  downward,  clean  plants  will  be  the 
result. 

We  hear  much  of  yellow  foliage  on 
gardenias  and,  of  course,  flowers  with 
jjolden  leaves  are  of  no  use.  Too  soggy 
:i  compost  causes  this.  Occasional  doses 
of  soot  water.  Clay's  fertilizer  or  Bo- 
iior.^  will  keep  the  foliage  a  dark  green 
<M)lor,  A  slight  drying  out  at  the  root 
in  November  will  assist  in  the  formation 
of  flower  buds.  This  must  not,  however, 
be  carried  to  excess  or  the  buds  will  fall. 
Overwatering  also  is  a  cause  for  loss  of 
flower  buds. 

Any  intelligent  florist  can  grow  gar- 
<ler.ias  at  a  profit  if  near  a  large  market 
and  he  will  find  the  flowers  useful  for 
bouquet  and  funeral  work  at  home.  Gar- 
denia florida  is  the  most  suitable  variety 
to  grow. 

Lily  of  the  Valley. 

Weather  reports  from  all  parts  of  the 
<ountry  show  a  continuance  of  the  un- 
seasonably cold  weather  for  April  and 
\egetation  is  more  backward  than  usual. 
As  a  rule  lily  of  the  valley  is  on  the  wane 
'It  Memorial  day,  when  grown  outdoors. 
A  good  way  to  secure  a  supply  at  that 
lime  is  to  plant  it  in  frames  instead  of 
the  cases  in  your  propagating  house.  By 
.^hading,  you  can  hold  it  back  much  bet- 
I'-T  than  outdoor-grown  stock  and  also  se- 

nre  finer  spikes  of  better  substance  than 
.  ou  have  had  in  the  greenhouse.  There 
-'s  usually  a  good  call  for  valley  during 
May  and  June  and  a  batch  should  be 
"  lanted  at  least  every  ten  days,  allowing 

rom  three  to  four  weeks  for  full  de- 
•olopment  of  the  flowers.  Keep  them 
■larkened  to  draw  up  the  spikes,  and 
^vater  freely.  Use  water  with  care  after 
-he  bells  begin  to  open. 

Dahlias  from  Green  Cuttings. 

We  have  noticed  considerable  contro- 
■ersy  on  this  subject  of  late.  Many  of 
'he  large  commercial  dahlia  growers  con- 
'lemn  the  practice,  which  is  the  one  uni-

versally  adopted  in  Europe.  Personally 
we  must  say  that  experience  has  taught 
us  that  these  soft  cuttings  make  the  best 
{)lants  and  produce  far  better  flowers 
than  the  root  divisions  generally  used. 
Of  course,  there  is  a  possibility  of  cut- 
worms destroying  them.  But  in  Europe 
they  have  more  to  fear  from  snails  than 
we  from  cutworms,  yet  they  prefer  the 
green  cuttings.  We  believe  that  in  the 
future  more  plants  will  be  grown  from 
cuttings  and  less  dry  roots  be  shipped 
out  as  plants. 

As  to  their  not  forming  tubers,  any 
cutting  rubbed  off  with  a  heel,  or  cut 
below  a  pair  of  leaves,  will  make  splen- 
did tubers,  which  are  much  to  be  pre- 
ferred to  the  unwieldy  ones  produced  by 
the  plan  now  generally  adopted.  The 
very  best  sort  of  tubers  are  those  from 
cuttings  planted  outdoors,  or  grown  in 
small  pots  all  summer.  These  carry  over 
winter  better  than  any  others. 

We  think  it  a  pity  that  pot  rodts  are 
not  more  grown  for  shipping  purposes. 
They  are  far  preferable  to  divided  field- 
grown  roots,  being  lighter  and  more  sure 
to  grow. 

Early  planting  of  dahlias  grown  from 
green  cuttings  is  not  to  be  recommended. 
If  set  out  at  the  end  of  June  they  will 
produce  splendid  flowers  in  September 
and  October  when  they  are  most  valued. 

Cosmos. 

This  pretty  annual  proves  useful  on 
most  retail  places.  It  is  a  mistake  to 
sow  it  too  early.  Seed  put  in  now  will 
produce  quite  large  plants  in  a  month,  as 
early  as  it  safely  can  be  planted  out.  It 
is  at  best  an  uncertain  plant  in  our 
northern  states.  If  we  get  an  early 
frost  we  get  no  returns  from  it.  If,  on 
the  other  hand,  frost  holds  off  until  late, 
flowers  of  all  kinds  are  so  plentiful  there 
is  little  call  for  it.     It  is  a  plant  easily 


broken  by  high  winds  and  unless  planted 
in  a  sheltered  spot  and  securely  staked 
the  fall  gales  and  rains  make  short  work 
of  it.  The  best  plan  is  to  grow  a  batch 
in  boxes,  stake  up  securely  and  place  in 
a  cool  house  when  frost  threatens.  By 
judicious  feeding  a  splendid  lot  of  flow- 
ers can  be  had  from  a  comparatively 
small  batch  of  plants. 

Trees  and  Shrubs. 

At  this  season  almost  every  florist  is 
called  upon  to  do  a  certain  amount  of 
planting  of  trees  and  shrubs  for  his  cus- 
tomers. We  presume  the  average  man 
needs  no  instruction  as  to  how  to  plant. 
Do  not,  however,  dig  a  hole  just  large 
enough  to  squeeze  tlie  roots  in  and  ex- 
pect good  results.  It  is  necessary  in  the 
planting  of  trees  and  shrubs  to  prepare 
tiie  ground  well  if  successful  results  are 
desired.  Make  holes  of  ample  size,  re- 
move all  stones,  gravel  and  sand  and  re- 
])lace  with  good  loam.  Do  not  mix  any 
animal  manure  or  fertilizer  with  the  com- 
post unless  you  want  to  destroy  your 
shrubs.  Probably  your  customer  will 
want  you  to  do  so.  Explain  to  him  that 
it  is  the  worst  thing'  he  could  do.  A 
mulching  on  the  surface,  of  old  manure, 
after  planting  is  good,  but  keep  it  away 
from  the  roots.  Be  sure  all  roots  are 
spread  out  carefully  and  that  the  soil  is 
thoroughly  tramped.  Loosely  planted 
stock  will  never  thrive.  Do  not  plant 
stock  with  dry  roots.  Dip  them  in  a 
puddle  of  muddy  water.  Clay,  if  pos- 
sible, should  be  used,  as  it  sticks  well. 
Cut  back  long  shoots  on  deciduous 
shrubs.  They  will  make  much  bettor 
plants  by  judicious  pruning. 

Brief  Reminders. 

You  can  still  put  in  a  late  batch  of 
heliotrope  cuttings  and  get  nice  little 
I)lants   before   the   end    of   May.      Keep

them  to  flower  yet. 

Large-flowered  jjelargoniums,  or  Mar- 
tha Washington  geraniums,  will  now  be

airy  and  do  not  allow  gi;een  aphis  to 
secure  a  foothold* on  them./.  •. 

If  you  have  any  space  in  your  propa- 
gating bench,  put  in  a  good  batch  of 
English  ivy  cuttings.  They  will  make 
fine  plants  for  sale  anothel:  spring  and 
can  be  wintei^ed  in  any  frame  where  it 
does  not  frfeeze  too  severely. 

Brunner    and   other    hybrid    roses,    if 


boxed  now  and  grown  along  outdoors 
through  the  summer,  will  make  the  best 
possible  stock  for  forcing  another 
spring. 

Do  not  allow  fires  to  go  out  yet;  it 
would  be  false  economy,  what  the  British 
term  "a  penny  wise  and  pound  foolish 
policy."  Wait  until  we  get  more  settled 
weather.  Some  fire  heat  at  night  is  still 
necessary  for  most  plants,  and  our  cli- 
mate   is    very    variable. 

Give  young  hydrangeas  a  shift  before 
they  become  pot-bound,  and  give  mar- 
guerites similar  attention. 


PREPARATIONS  FOR  BENCHING. 

The  preparation  of  young  stock  to  be 
ready  for  the  planting  .  season^  reguirea 
great  thoughtfulness  and  care.  In  pre- 
paring our  planting  plans  due  thought 
should  be  given  to  have  our  plants  in 
just  such  a  condition  that  they  may  be 
able  to  get  the  full  benefit  of  a  shift, 
either  into  larger  pots  or,  as  the  season 
is  advancing,  into  the  more  congenial, 
cooler  and  freer  possibilities  of  the 
bench. 

To  reap  the  full  advantage  of  bench- 
ing, the  proper  stage  of  growth  should 
be  calculated  correctly,  so  that  plants 
which  require  a  shift  may  either  receive 
such  at  once,  or,  if  everything  is  in  order 
and  readiness,  may  be  immediately 
benched.  If  they  are  in  such  a  stage 
and  planting  is  impossible,  it  is  best  to 
repot  at  once,  as  there  is  nothing  so 
detrimental  to  young  stock  as  leaving 
them  in  a  pot-bound  condition  after  the 
advent  of  hot  weather. 

If  repotting  has  to  be  resorted  to,  it 
will  be  necessary  to  give  the  plants  at 
least  three  weeks  in  the  larger  sized  pots 
to  get  them  into  condition  again  before 
attempting  to  turn  them  out  to  plant 
them  on  the  bench.  The  reasons  for  this 
are  obvious.  If  the  plant  requires  a 
shift  it  ought  to  get  it  at  once ;  if  it  does 
not  require  it,  let  it  alone  until  it  does. 

This  is  the  true  theory  of  rose  culture. 
Give  the  plant  what  it  requires  at  the 
right  time,  but  do  not  attempt  to  force 
it  to  take  what  it  does  not  require  at 
any  time. 

The  student  who,  by  careful  observa- 
tion, investigation  and  close  study,  suc- 
ceeds in  learning  and  understanding  the 
requirements  of  the  different  classes  of 
stock  under  his  care  is  surely  brushing 
aside  the  obstacles  to  success  in  his  fu- 
ture career,  and  this  should  form,  if  he 
wishes  to  master  his  profession,  the  prin- 
cipal part  of  his  studies. 

Plants  which  are  handled  according  to 
this  method  seldom  require  more  than  a 
few  days  after  benching  to  demonstrate 


very  perceptibly  that  they  appreciate  this 
kind  of  treatment,  as  in  that  time  vigor- 
ous root  action  is  quite  apparent,  while 
in  cases  where  the  shifts  closely  follow 
each  other  the  stock  will  come  to  a  real 
standstill,  and  the  difference  between  a 
standstill  and  a  backward  slide  is  so  im- 
perceptible that  no  grower  would  care  to 
take  chances  on  it. 

■To  obtain  really  the  best  results,  care 
should  be  taken  that  no  checks  shall  oc- 
fcur  at  any  time  during  the  life  of  the 
rose,  and  as  these  are  easily  brought  on

during  their  period  of  life  in  pots  and 
especially  as  hot  weather  approaches, 
this  is  really  the  time  when  the  greatest 
care  should  be  exercised  in  order  to  ob-

devitalizing  or  weakening  of  the  plants

AMERICAN  ROSE  SOCIETY. 


Some  Notes  by  the  Secretary. 

The  exhibition  of  the  American  K^se 
Society  held  in  Washington,  D.  C,  last 
month,  and  the  publicity  given  to  the 
same  by  the  press,  has  made  it  apparent 
that  a  widely  extended  interest  exista  in 
the  affairs  of  both  rose  growers  and  lo- 
cal societies  in  various  places.  Aside 
from  organizations  or  growers,  letiAis 
from  people  of  cultivated  tastes,  vii^ 
address  the  secretary  for  informati.)n, 
show  an  interest  that  is  widespread  mkI 
leads  me  to  give  some  facts  pertain  :nr 
to  the  working  of  the  society  and  lie 
preparation  for  the  shows. 

Looking  over  the  trade  papers,  th  le 
are  dozens  of  advertisers  offering  re  >;« 
of  all  varieties  for  sale,  each  one  of 
whom  could  assist  the  society  as  a  wo;k- 
ing  popular  force  by  joining  as  a  m^.n- 
ber. 

The  American  Eose  Society  is  gain- 
ing in  a  life  membership  fund,  but  tiie 
sustaining  membership  is  absolutely  re- 
quired and  this  may  be  done  by  every 
rose  grower  in  America  without  being  a 
burdensome  expense  to  any  one. 

A  photograph  of  the  exhibition  now 
before  me,  gives  a  fine  reproduction  of 
the  beautiful  effect  as  one  entered  tlie 
hall  at  evening  with  the  full  effect  of 
the  electric  lights  pouring  down  over  the 
great,  square  hall  with  its  wealth  of 
color  and  form  that  at  once  took  the 
eye.  But  forty-eight  hours  before,  the 
secretary,  as  he  faced  the  same  space, 
all  ready  to  fill  up,  which  the  Florists' 
Club  of  Washington  had  worked  so  hard 
to  make  ready,  was  puzzled  when,  at  ') 
o'clock  the  night  before  the  show  was 
to  open,  a  gentleman  from  New  York 
City  said:  "This  looks  well,  but  what 
have  you  got  to  fill  it  up  witht"  At 
that  instant  every  entry  of  all  degrees 
counted  thirty-seven  vases,  a  drop  ii> 
the  bucket  only. 

A  few  Washington  men  gathered  ami 
the  word  was  passed,  "We  will  have  a 
show    if    we    have    to    empty    our    own 
houses. ' '  Here  was  a  perplexity  to  those 
on  whose  shoulders  rested  the  responsi 
bility   of   getting  up   an   exhibition;   at 
the  last  minute  they  were  in  ignorance  nf 
what  was  coming  and  the  work  of  prcji 
aration  was  done  on  faith.     It  was   l'> 
o'clock   Tuesday  night  when  a  dispatch 
came  from  W.  H.   Walsh,  Woods  Hole. 
Mass.,    saying:    "I   am    leaving   Boston 
with  a  carload  of  ramblers."     This  dis 
patch  was  like  General  Sherman's  signal 
* '  Hold    the    Fort,    for    I   am    Coming. 
Then  came  a  dispatch  from  Pierson  sa> 
ing:  "We  have  missed  a  train  but  will  b' 
there  with  some  fine  blooms. ' ' 

Wednesday  morning  (the  show  was  t  ■ 
open  at  noon)  came  load  after  load  f roi ' 
one  and  another  who  had  started  the  aft 
ernoon  or  night  before  but  had  sent  n^ 
word;  hence  we  were  in  the  dark.  Thri 
or   four    who    had    entered   were    disaj 
pointed  at  last,  but  by  noon  there  hn 
vanished  all   doubt  as   to  not  having 
rose  show.     The  roses  were  on  hand. 

The  judges,  Messrs.  Craig,  Kastin 
and  Hauswirth,  could  not  begin  wor 
until  late  and  this  point  I  wish  to  giv 
out  to  all  future  exhibitors:  try  and  le 
whoever  is  in  charge  know  ahead  tha 
you  will  come.  There  is  a  whole  lot  o' 
detail  work  in  arranging  these  shows,  an 
such  shows  as  the  American  Rose  So 
ciety  does  put  up  are  worthy  of  bein 
visited  by  thousands  of  people;  th 
sight  is  one  of  beauty. 

The   prizes  taken  numbered   fifty-five

V  Moore,  Hentz  &  Nash,  of  Madison,

Simpson. 

The  special  prizes  offered  in  divisions 
!•■  and  G  numbered  thirty-two,  and  of 
ihose  eight  were  not  won.  The  W.  A. 
vfanda,  Orange,  N.  J.,  prize  of  $25  in 
tjold  is  to  be  won  next  year.  John 
Hreitmeyer  &  Son,  Detroit,  Mich.,  place 
tlieir  $25  in  the  treasury  for  next  year. 
Alexander  Montgomery's  cup  remains  for 
next  year  also.  The  Hammond  prize  of 
$10  for  best  foliage  rose  for  dooryards 
remains.  This  is  as  far  as  heard  of 
from  the  lay-overs. 

The  Rose  Society  by  invitation  of  the 
I'liicago  Florists'  Club  goes  to  that  city 
in  March,  1908.  We  want  1,000  rose 
growers  in  the  big  centers  and  in  the 
villages  from  the  east  and  the  west,  from 
the  northland  and  the  southland,  to  join 
US  as  associate  members  and  we  want  to 
send  to  each  some  frequent  reminder,  so 
as  to  keep  in  touch,  one  with  the  other, 
and  when  we  hold  shows  hereafter  wc 
want  the  people  to  come  to  see  them.  The 
best  card  we  had  in  Washington  was  to 
invite  the  school  children  with  their 
teachers,  and  the  little  folk  came  in 
flocks.  Two  of  President  Roosevelt's 
boys  were  there.

ROSE  HIAWATHA. 

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  say,  reports 
tiie  Horticultural  Advertiser,  that  in 
England  Rose  Hiawatha  has  been  more 
in  demand  during  the  past  season  than 
any  other  novelty.  I  find  all  market 
throwers  who  do  roses  in  pots  want  it; 
but  what  I  would  refer  to  is  the  propa- 
<,'ation.  No  doubt  it  will  do  well  on  the 
Manetti  stock,  yet  if  layered  from  the 
long  shoots  it  will  root  freely  from 
I'very  joint,  and  I  believe  plants  so  ob- 
tained will  do  better  than  those  grafted. 
I  ha\-e  seen  some  cut  up  in  short  lengths 
and  put  in  as  cuttings,  and  instead  of 
starting  from  the  base  they  have  made 
the  first  roots  from  below  the  wood-bud 
that  has  been  close  to  the  surface,  so 
this  proves  that  it  would  hardly  be  nec- 
essary to  make  a  cut  at  the  joint  when 
Injuring.  I  have  not  yet  had  any  expe- 
rionce  in  growing  this  rose,  but  it  ap- 
pears much  like  Crimson  Rambler,  to 
flower  it  well  it  must  be  started  early, 
and  well  ripened  off  early  in  the  autumn. 


THE  READERS'  CORNER. 


The  Review  is  the  most  compact  and 
business-like  journal  in  the  horticultural 
field. — C.  Adams,  Memphis,  Tenn. 

Urbana.  III. — The  greenhouse  being 
built  by  Edward  Dodson  on  East  Main 
street  is  nearing  completion.  The  place 
"ill  be  open  for  business  in  a  few  days. 

Kankakee,  III. — Faber  Bros,  will 
start  immediately  to  erect  an  addition 
fo  their  greenhouses  on  the  south  side. 
The  new  building  will  be  25x75  and  will 
be  used  for  carnations.  This  makes  the

farm  place. 


Sunday  Funerals. 

About  a  year  ago  the  florists  of  my 
city,  Wichita,  Kans.,  succeeded  in  get- 
ting a  petition  signed  by  the  florists,  un- 
dertakers, ministers  and  prominent  liv- 
ery firms,  asking  that  Sunday  funerals 
be  done  away  with.  This  was  promptly 
approved  by  the  cemetery  association  and 
the  change  has  been  a  great  relief  and 
satisfaction  to  all  concerned.  The  ceme- 
tery superintendent  a  few  weeks  ago,  in 
discussing  the  matter,  said  every  man  in 
his  employ  would  quit  work  if  Sunday 
funerals  were  resumed.  Let  florists  in 
other  cities  try  some  similar  plan  and 
they  will  be  delighted  with  thp  results. 
Surely  we  need  the  day  of  rest  as  much 
as  any  merchant,  and  if  the  funerals  are 
done  away  with  other  departments  of  the 
business  can  be  kept  closed  much  more 
easily.  Personally  we  have  always  kept 
our  business  closed  on   Sundays,   except

for  funeral  work,  and  since  the  publish- 
ing of  this  matter  in  our  daily  papers 
people  do  not  bother  us  nearly  so  much 
as  formerly  and  we  really  get  a  rest 
when  the  day  comes.  Of  course,  work  for 
Monday  funerals  in  other  towns  has  to 
be  made  up  and  sent  out,  but  that  is  a 
very  different  matter  from  three  or  four 
local  funerals,  each  calling  for  a  good 
many  orders,  and  the  help  mostly  away. 
In  conclusion,  we  would  say  that  we 
consider  Sunday  closing,  and  the  keeping 
of  reasonable  business  hours  on  week 
days,  one  of  the  important  steps  toward 
elevating  the  florists'  trade,  or  profes- 
sion, in  the  minds  of  the  people.  The 
very  fact  that  a  florist 's  place  is  open 
from  early  morn  till  late  at  night,  and 
on  Sundays,  will  of  itself  unconsciously 
develop  in  the  average  mind  an  impres- 
sion that  it  is  a  class  of  business  where 
drudgery  and  long  hours  count  for  more 
than  artistic  or  professional  skill  towards 
success.  L.  M.  C. 

A  Fight  With  Frost. 

The  interest  in  flowers  is  growing  fast 
here,   in    Ogden,    Utah,    anc"    business   is 


good.  I  built  one  house  eighty  feet  long 
last  year  and  hope,  if  everything  turns 
out  well,  to  build  a  house  21x100  for  car- 
nations only.  And  I  will  have  it  built 
in  the  east.  The  one  I  have  was  built 
here,  but  contractors  here  don't  know 
how  to  build  a  greenhouse.  The  freight 
is  high  from  Chicago,  but  I  think  the 
improved  construction  will  pay  for  the 
extra  cost  in  time.  The  weather  here  has 
been  splendid;  roses  are  in  full  leaf, 
also  the  trees,  etc.  But  last  night,  April 
19,  there  was  a  heavy  frost,  which  1 
think  will  do  much  damage,  as  fruit 
trees  are  in  full  bloom.  I  had  all  my 
young  carnations  planted  outside  by 
Arbor  day,  but  do  not  know  as  yet  what 
the  outcome  will  be.  I  put  pans  and 
buckets  full  of  water  between  the  rows, 
and  the  ice  was  two  inches  thick  at 
2:45  a.  ni.,  but  the  water  draws  the 
frost  toward  it.  I  also  started  at  once 
to  cover  as  many  carnations  as  possible 
with  empty  pots.  We  had  a  snow  storm 
all  day,  but  at  night  the  weather  cleare<l 
off,  with  such  a  lowering  of  the  tem- 
perature as  I  have  described. 

The  Review  has  been  to  me  the  best 
instructor  I  ever  had.  No  one  should 
fail  to  read  it  every  week.  There  is  al- 
ways something  new  in  it,  besides  the 
different  advertisements  to  select  from 
in  buying.  B,  Van  der  Schuit. 


A  Florist  or  a  Milliner  ? 

1  am  one  of  the  many  self-made  flo- 
rists, living  out  on  the  frontier,  who  find 
great  benefit  in  the  "How  To"  articles 
in  the  Review.  Since  the  florist,  to  be 
up  to  date,  must  use  chiffon,  gauze,  net 
and  ribbons  galore,  I  often  wonder 
whether  I  am  a  florist  or  a  milliner.  I 
used  to  think  I  did  pretty  well  when  a 
young  man  paid  me  $1.50  for  a  wedding 
bouquet.  Now  that  I  have  learned  the 
millinery  business,  with  the  help  of  the 
Retail  Florist  department  and  the  pic- 
tures vou  give,  I  get  from  $5  to  $20. 

H.  L.  N. 

Not  Myers. 

Some  jiarty,  as  yet  unknown  to  me, 
has  been  calling  upon  florists  in  Blair 
and  adjoining  counties  in  Pennsylvania, 
representing  himself  as  John  H.  Myers, 
the  florist,  of  Altoona,  Pa.  As  he  has 
in  several  cases  borrowed  money,  stat- 
ing that  he  would  return  same  upon  ar- 
rival home,  he  may  do  considerable  in- 
jury to  others  as  well  as  myself,  and  I 
would  in  this  way  warn  those  upon  whom 
he  may  call.  I  learned  first  of  his  doings 
in  Lewistown,  Pa.,  and  later  in  .Johns- 
town, Pa.  .T.  11.  Myers.

The  lawn  style  of  cemetery  is  steadily 
gaining  in  public  favor,  but  this  does 
not  imply  any  less  use  of  flowers. 

Growers  may  as  well  recognize  that 
wages  are  higher  than  they  were  a  year 
or  two  ago.  All  labor  has  shared  in  the 
' '  general  prosperity ' '  and  the  green- 
house hands  not  only  are  entitled  to  an 
increase  to  partly  offset  the  increased 
cost  of  living,  but  will  not  be  content 
unless  they  get  it. 


WHOSE? 

The  roses  that   I   sent  were  red. 

The  other  chap's  were  white; 
My  Iteart   is  torn  with  doubt  and  fear — - 

Which  will  she   wear  to-ulgbtV 

I  hear  her  step  upon  the  stair, 

My  fortunes  to  disclose; 
Milady  comes,  but,  oh,  gee  whiz! 

Whose  violets  are  those? 

—New  York  Herald. 


By  all  means  write  on  a  printed  letter- 
head. Let  your  communication  show  on 
its  face  that  you  are  a  business  man. 

This  may  be  called  between-season 
with  the  rose  and  carnation  growers,  but 
the  demand  for  competent  help  is  still 
ahead  of  the  supply. 

Why  not  ask  a  little  higher  retail 
price  for  bedding  stock  this  year?  Every 
item  entering  into  the  cost  of  produc- 
tion has  advanced  in  price  since  last 
season. 

The  cuttings  of  Red  Lawson  carnation 
are  not  in  active  demand;  in  fact,  those 
who  have  propagated  it  beyond  their 
own  requirements  report  it  slow  sale.  It 
is  not  red  enough  to  fill  the  bill.

I  am  thinking  of  building  a  green- 
house expressly  for  growing  rooted  cut- 
tings of  coleus  for  wholesale  trade.     In 


I  am  having  a  very  nice  trade  this 
spring — far  better  than  common— and 
I  have  to  thank 


for  it,  as  IT  IS  THE  ONLY 
ADVERTISING  MEDIUM  I 
AM  USING.

a  house  16x75  feet  could  I  grow  enough 
to  make  it  profitable  by  having  the  stock 
plants  in  the  center  bench?  What  tem- 
perature would  be  required  for  best  re- 
sults? About  how  many  stock  plants 
would  be  required  for  the  center  bench, 
say  6x70  feet,  to  be  rooted  on  the  side 
benches?  Please  give  me  some  idea  of 
the  number  of  cuttings  that  could  be 
jiroduced  in  the  season  for  spring  trade. 
M.  W.  W. 

A  house  of  the  size  named  should 
prove  quite  suitable  for  growing  coleus. 
It  should  be  piped  so  as  to  give  a  mini- 
mum temperature  of  60  degrees  in  cold 
weather,  for  coleus  needs  a  warm  house. 
Your  propagating  bed  needs  to  be  on 
the  north  side.  A  better  plan  would  be 
a  small  section  especially  for  this  pur- 
pose; then  you  could  maintain  just  the 
right  condition  needed.  Coleus,  however, 
is  easily  rooted  and  with  some  bottom 
heat  and  the  necessary  shade  and  water- 
ing, few  or  none  should  fail  to  root. 


Coleus  grows  so  speedily  that  propaga- 
tion is  neither  necessary  nor  desirable 
before  the  end  of  February.  The  tons 
of  the  early  struck  cuttings  can  be  uscvl 
again  and  it  will  hardly  pay  to  bother 
with  more  than  two  batches  from  your 
old  stock  plants.  Of  the  latter,  there  is 
no  need  to  pot  up  a  large  number.  F.i- 
such  a  house  as  you  describe  lift  100  aivt 
you  should  have  no  trouble  in  filling  >r 
with  stock  from  them.  In  fact,  yt ,, 
could  raise  more  if  necessary. 

We  presume  plants  from  small  pots  a,  - 
desired  for  spring  trade.    If  rooted  ci, 
tings  are  wanted,  it  would  be  as  well  •  . 
fill   the   whole   center   bench   with   stoi 
plants  and  use  the  side  benches  for  pro 
agating.      Allow    them    to    root    throuj.  i 
into  some  soil  and  in  this  way  keep  \-,; 
their  vigor.     The  exact  number  of  cii 
tings  to  be  raised  depends  so  much  ( 
whether   cuttings    are    to   be    sold    fro;  i 
sand  or  potted  that  it  would  be  difficu'' 
to  give  any  estimate.     If  cuttings  onl-. 
25,000  should  be  produced  easily.    If  p( 
plants,   of   course   additional   greenhous  ■ 
space,  were  it  at  command,  would  insui  • 
your  having  the  same  number.       C.  W. 


THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Edward  W.  Fenn. 

Edward  W.  Fenn,  aged  62  years,  dicil 
Sunday  morning,  April  14,  of  a  disease 
of  the  liver,  at  his  home  on  High  street, 
Terryville,  Conn.  He  had  been  ill  all 
winter.  About  thirty  years  ago  he  built 
a  greenhouse  upon  the  farm  where  ho 
had  always  lived,  and  from  that  time  he 
gave  all  his  attention  to  growing  flowers. 
He  was  fond  of  his  work  and  was  so  suc- 
cessful in  it  that  his  place  became  th(> 
center  of  attraction  for  a  considerable 
section  of  the  country.  Mr.  Fenn  was 
twice  married,  his  first  wife  being  Misf 
Jeanette  Van  Buren,  by  whom  he  had 
one  son,  Clarence  Fenn.  His  second  wife 
survives  him.  He  is  also  survived  by  his 
son  and  his  father,  Stephen  Fenn,  who  is 
84  years  of  age. 

William  Matters. 

William  Watters,  the  oldest  citizen  of 
Charlestown,  W.  Va.,  died  April  16  at 
his  residence,  in  that  city,  of  old  age.  He 
was  a  Scotchman  and  came  to  this  coun- 
try when  a  young  man,  conducting  green- 
houses for  many  years.  He  is  survived 
by  a  widow,  one  son  and  two  daughters, 
all  of  Charlestown. 

John  C.  Buckmeister. 

John  B.  Buckmeister,  a  nurseryman,  is 
dead  at  Fort  Scott,  Kan.  He  was  born 
near  Frederica,  Del.,  on  July  17,  1842, 
and  was  the  son  of  Geo.  W.  Buckmeister 
and  Mary  Burchenal.  He  removed  to 
Freedom,  Lafayette  County,  Mo.,  in 
September,  1859,  with  his  parents,  being 
then  at  the  age  of  17.  In  March,  1862, 
he  joined  Company  B,  of  the  Seventli 
Missouri  state  militia  and  served  with 
bravery  for  three  years.  After  the  war 
was  over,  in  the  spring  of  1865,  in  John- 
son County,  Mo.,  he  married  Miss  Eliza- 
beth Burrow,  and  from  this  union  seven 
children  have  been  born,  five  of  whom 
survive  him.  He  located  at  Fort  Scott 
in  1882,  where  he  developed  much  skill  in 
horticulture. 


MOLINE,  III. — William  Knees  is  hav- 
ing an  office  built  of  Moline  sandstone 
brick.  Last  summer  Mr.  Knees  erected 
a  greenhouse  at  the  rear  of  his  property 
and  he  expects  to  build  at  least  two  more 
this  summer.

CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market. 

Last  week  was  an  exceptionally  heavy 
one  and  business  started  ofiE  this  week  in 
a  way  which  gave  the  wholesalers  much 
encouragement.  While  supplies  were  con- 
siderably increased  by  a  couple  of  warm, 
bright  days,  the  demand  Monday  was 
■such  that  the  market  was  well  cleaned  up 
at  good  prices.  There  always  is  a  lull 
on  Tuesday  and  Wednesday,  with  in- 
creasing shipping  demand  Thursday  and 
Friday  and  the  best  local  trade  Saturday 
morning. 

The  shipping  demand  has  been  active 
over  since  the  cold  weather  shut  off  pro- 
duction and  it  continues  good  now  that 
■uts  are  on  the  increase.  Local  buying 
is  considerably  improved,  but  is  not  so 
brisk  as  to  be  in  keeping  with  the  out 
of  town  requirements. 

While  a  large  part  of  the  stock  now 

received  is  of  excellent  quality,  there  is 

I   considerable   demand   which   calls   for 

pecial  stock  and  those  growers  who  are 

ortunate  enough  to  be  cutting  a   little 

'letter  grade  than  the  rest  of  the  market 

>re  receiving  a  premium.  But  short  roses 

>re  cleaned  up  quickly,  for  funeral  work, 

ind  bringing  fair  prices.      The  medium 

^Trades  are  the  ones  least  in  demand  and 

ast  to  sell. 

The  Beauty  again  is  the  weakest  item 
in  the  market.  There  is  a  good  demand, 
onsuming  large  quantities  of  long  stock, 
'mt  production  is  heavy.  Eichmond  is 
rounding  into  its  spring  form.  Quality 
's  excellent  and  production  large  with 
nearly  all  who  are  growing  it.  Killarney 
is  seen  in   considerable  quantity.    Bride 


is  selling  better  than  Maid.  Chatenay  is 
not  much  wanted. 

The  cuts  of  carnations  have  not  in- 
creased in  proportion  to  the  increase  in 
other  items.  The  market  is  steady,  even 
in  the  slowest  days,  and  has  advanced 
whenever  demand  took  a  spurt.  The  qual- 
ity is  beginning  to  run  down  with  many 
growers  and  some  even  have  thrown  out 
more  or  les^  for  replanting. 

New  York  violets  continue  to  arrive  in 
fair  shape.  There  has  been  quite  a 
scramble  certain  days  to  find  valley. 
Calla  lilies  still  are  abundant,  but  Easter 
lilies  are  gone,  except  for  those  from 
cold  storage  bulbs,  and  as  a  result  prices 
on  good  lilies  have  advanced  to  the  place 
held  before  Easter.  Not  many  tulips  or 
daffodils  are  seen,  but  there  now  are 
gladioli,  antirrhinums,  pansies  and  other 
spring  items.  Peonies  have  been  delayed 
by  the  cold  weather  and  the  outdoor  lilac 
is  not  received  in  any  quantity.  Bulb 
stock  again  is  coming  from  the  south  in 
considerable  quantity  and  is  slow  sale. 

The  receipts  of  sweet  peas  have  mul- 
tiplied several  fold  in  the  last  week  and 
much  of  the  stock  is  excellent.  They  are 
possibly  the  most  popular  flower  at  the 
moment  and  are  selling  at  good  prices. 

There  is  a  good  call  for  greens,  but 
everything  of  this  character  can  be  sup- 
plied if  orders  are  received  before  the 
morning  receipts  are  sold  out.  To  be 
safe,  order  the  day  before.  The  whole- 
salers take  much  interest  in  ferns  and 
opinions  differ  as  to  what  may  be  looked 
forward  to  in  the  month  of  May.  Some 
of  the  houses  are  anxious  to  unload,  while 
others  are  advancing  prices.  It  appears 
that  there  are  so  many  poor  ferns  that 
first-class  stock  commands  a  premium. 


A  September  Show. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  executive  commit- 
tee of  the  Horticultural  Society  April  19 
it  was  reported  that  the  Coliseum  has 
been  rented  for  all  four  weeks  in  Novem- 
ber and  therefore  is  not  available  for  a 
flower  show.  This  led  to  a  call  for  a 
general  meeting  at  the  Union  at  luncheon 
April  23,  at  which  E.  Wienhoeber  pre- 
sided. Some  seventeen  were  present. 
After  general  discussion,  a  vote  was 
taken  to  get  the  consensus  of  opinion. 
It  was  to  the  effect  that  a  show  should 
bo  held  in  September,  preferably  in  a 
tent  on  the  lake  front,  if  such  an  ar- 
rangement can  be  made.  It  was  left  with 
the  executive  committee. 

If  such  a  project  is  carried  out  it  will, 
of  course,  mean  a  wide  departure  from 
former  show  standards. 

Killarney. 

It  appears  that  practically  every  large 
grower  of  roses  will  increase  his  plant- 
ing of  Killarney  this  season.  Among 
those  who  will  add  one  or  more  houses 
are  Peter  Reinberg,  Benthey-Coatsworth 
Co.,  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.,  George  Rein- 
berg, Bassett  &  Washburn  and  Weiland 
&  Risch.  Doubtless  there  are  others  who 
have  not  been  heard  from.  Those  who 
have  been  successful  with  the  rose  say 
that  if  increasing  production  brings  its 
price  down  to  that  of  Maid  they  still 
will  be  making  more  money  on  it  than 
on  any  other  rose. 

Peonies.  • 

Cool  weather  has  delayed  the  arrival 
of  the  Missouri  peonies,  but  they  are  ex- 
pected almost  any  day  now.     The  report

is  that  the  Missouri  stock  has  not  been 
injured  by  frost.  From  southern  Illinois 
comes  Avord  that  the  Old  Bed  has  been 
practically  ruined,  but  that  other  sorts 
are  found  to  have  sustained  little  injury. 
What  are  known  as  local  peonies,  if 
grown  back  from  tl)e  lake,  were  far 
enough  advanced  by  tlie  warmth  of 
March  so  that  Old  Red  has  suffered  con- 
siderably, other  sorts  not  at  all. 

Southern  peony  growers  are  hoping 
for  a  few  more  days  of  cool  weather, 
fearing  that  otherwise  the  crop  cannot 
be  held  for  Memorial  day. 

Poehlmann's  Plans. 

The  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.,  at  Morton 
Grove,  is  preparing  to  largely  increase 
its  planting  of  Richmond  and  Killarney 
roses  for  next  season;  both  sorts  have 
proved  highly  profitable  this  season. 
They  have  a  splendid  lot  of  young 
grafted  Killarney  from  A.  N.  Pierson, 
Cromwell,  Conn.  Three  half  houses  have 
been  planted  with  Morton  Grove,  the 
Poehlmann  sport  of  Chatenay,  and  the 
young  plants  are  in  especially  good 
shape.  This  variety  is  to  be  disseminaPted 
next  spring. 

Various  Notes. 

An  advertisement  of  the  Spot  Cash 
Store,  at  .Joliet,  states  that  the  "floral 
department  is  now  under  the  manage- 
ment of  Mr.  J.  D.  Thompson,  of  the 
Thompson  Carnation  Co. — which  means 
that  the  pick  of  flowers  of  the  Thompson 
]>lant  are  reserved  for  the  people  of 
Joliet  and  vicinity." 

The  A.  L.  Randall  Co.  reports  that  the 
supply  department  has  been  quite  busy 
since  Easter.     People  are  restocking  and 


the  call  for  Decoration  day  supplies  has 
begun. 

There  was  a  large  attendance  of  those 
in  the  trade  April  18,  at  the  funeral  of 
William  Louis  Kidwell,  son  of  W.  H. 
Kidwell,  of  John  F.  Kidwell  &  Bro.  The 
services  were  held  at  the  family  home, 
3  Oakland  crescent,  where  the  young  man 
died  Tuesday  morning.  The  floral  trib- 
utes were  many,  for  the  father  is  one  of 
the  most  popular  men  in  the  trade  and 
has  everyone's  sympathy.  The  choice 
quality  of  the  flowers  used  was  noted, 
and  the  fact  that  nearly  everyone  had 
made  something  out  of  the  ordinary  run 
of  work  seen  at  obsequies  where  florists 
are  not  personally  interested. 

K.  ]T.  Hunt's  report  that,  while  they 
knew  there  was  a  wide  interest  in  the 
subject  of  fertilizers,  which  prompted 
the  publication  of  "Wise  Words,"  still 
they  are  surprised  at  the  number  of  re- 
quests received  for  the  booklet ;  they 
have  come  from  every  state  in  the  Union. 
One  grower  writes,  "If  ' Wise  Words ' 
are  too  heavy  to  mail,  please  express  me 
a  copy. ' '  There  is,  no  doubt,  some  pro- 
found thought  in  the  pamphlet,  but  wis- 
dom is  not  so  weighty  as  to  go  by 
freight. 

Basset  t  &  Washburn  state  that  they 
will  after  this  season  wholly  discontinue 
the  growing  of  Chatenay  and  Gen.  Mac- 
Arthur.  Liberty  and  I^a  Detroit  here- 
after will  be  grown  only  for  summer 
blooming.  Increased  space  will  be  given 
to  Killarney.  They  have  two  houses  of 
Liberty  in  fine  shape  for  a  spring  crop. 

O.  W.  Frese,  of  the  Poehlmann  store 
staff,  is  serving  his  second  week  on  the 

Baumann  &  Co.  have  a  large  decora- 


tion on  at  the  store  of  Marshall  Field  & 
Co.  This  is  the  fifth  successive  FieM 
decoration  Avhich  the  Baumann  people 
have  supplied.  A  large  part  of  the  ma- 
terial has  been  made  to  order  in  each 
case. 

One  of  the  week's  visitors  was  Chris 
Lund,  of  Wausau,  Wis.,  who  has  a  new 
carnation  support  in  which  he  was  seek- 
ing to  interest  local  growers.  He  says 
that  a  number  of  rose  growers  will  use 
it  instead  of  the  usual  method  of  tyinj; 
for  supporting  their  plants. 

A  trio  of  the  young  men  of  the  Wien 
hoebor  Co.  gave  a  very  successful  dance 
at  a  north  side  club  house  last  Saturday 
evening. 

Wietor  Bros,  report  being  especially 
well  pleased  with  the  business  last  week. 
They  say  the  aggregate  of  sales  was 
ahead  of  any  week  containing  a  Me 
morial  day  or  a  Thanksgiving  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  firm.  Crops  are  large  in  al! 
departments. 

Weiland  &  Risch  say  they  will  find 
room  for  two  more  houses  of  Killarney 
next  season. 

E.  C.  Amling  says  it  is  surprising  as 
well  as  pleasing  the  way  sweet  peas  hav( 
been  going  the  last  few  days.  He  ha? 
one  grower  whose  peas  have  been  making 
up  to  $2  per  hundred  in  the  last  fe^^

The  bowlers  are  getting  out  good  at-

Mich.,  that  Wm.  Schumacher,  formerly 
with  Miss  Carlson  here,  is  now  in  charge 
of  her  place  on  Morton  Hill,  across  the 
lake. 

At  George  Reinberg's  they  cut  the 
roses  rather  close,  get  the  bulk  of  the 
stock  in  late  in  the  afternoon,  grade  it 
up  and  set  it  away  in  the  ice-box,  to  be 
ready  for  next  morning's  local  business, 
with  nothing  but  counting.

NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 


Springtime  antl  the  sunshine;  the 
whole  market  felt  its  influence  Saturday 
and  the  clouds  of  pessimism  vanished.  It 
was  the  best  Saturday  since  Easter  and 
the  end,  let  us  hope,  ot  the  wintry  cli- 
mate, for  all  horticultural  industries 
have  been  greatly  handicapped  by  the 
unsea.sonable  weather.  This  week  opened 
with  still  higher  temperatures.  The 
trees  are  ready  to  burst  into  leaf  at  a 
"moment's  notice.  Before  another  week 
has  passed  the  wliole  face  of  nature  will 
be  changed.  The  transition  will  be  sud- 
den. Fortunate  have  been  the  bulb,  and 
seed,  and  nursery  interests.  Even  with 
the  delayed  planting  season,  every  firm 
lias  been  rushed  for  weeks  to  fill  tlie 
rapidly  accumulating  orders. 

Very  interesting  are  the  seedsmen 's 
windows  with  miniature  gardens,  lawns 
with  growing  grass,  live  spring  chickens 
and  other  reminders  of  the  vernal  sea- 
son. The  suburbanites  are  legion.  Every 
inch  of  ground  within  a  radius  of  twon-

created  in  a  day.  Soon,  with  the  re- 
markable traveling  facilities  completed, 
every  town  in  this  radius  will  be  in 
touch  with  the  mercantile  center  of  the 
great  city  and  only  half  an  hour  away. 
Well  may  the  prophets  confidently  pre- 
dict that  New  York  within  ten  years 
will  be  the  greatest  metropolis  of  the 
world. 

The  auctions  have  not  yet  drawn  full 
houses.  Even  here  the  chill  has  had  its 
influence  and  prices  and  sales  have  not 
been  satisfactory,  Ambrose  Cleary  is  in 
charge  at  the  old  stand  on  Vesey  street 
and  conducts  the  sales  twice  weekly. 
John  P.  Cleary  has  graduated  into  the 
fruit  auction  section.  At  Elliott's  the 
importations  of  hardy  roses,  shrubs  and 
evergreens  are  large  and  the  stock  quite 
up  to  that  of  former  years.  The  sales 
will  continue,  as  usual,  until  June. 

The  retail  cut  flower  stores  are  now 
among  the  brightest  harbingers  of  spring. 
They  are  a  mass  of  bloom  in  Crimson 
Rambler,  rhododendrons,  forsythia, 
double  flowering  plum,  heather  and  prim- 
rose, while  arbutus  is  in  every  window. 
The  April  weddings  grow  in  number 
daily.  The  price  of  cut  flowers  is  rea- 
sonable, the  quality  now  superb.  The 
retailer  needs  no  sympathy.  He  has  his 
share  of  the  general  prosperity. 

Beauties  at  times,  toward  the  end  of 
last  week  and  on  Saturday  especially, 
for  the  selected  stock,  touched  20  cents 
and  Brides  and  Maids  occasionally  re- 
turned to  8  cents  as  the  limit.  Monday 
the  supply  of  everything  was  exhausted 
in  the  early  evening  and  shipments  from 
the  growers  for  the  day  were  limited. 
Consequently  everybody  was  hopeful, 
John  Young  is  cutting  an  average  of  500 


fine  Beauties  daily  from  his  big  house 
at  Bedford.  Bichmond  commands  good 
prices  and  Fenrich  is  dispensing  Totty's 
grand  stock  daily,  with  the  demand  far 
in  excess  of  the  supply.  Jacq.  roses  at 
Traendly  &  Schenck's  still  are  arriving 
in  goodly  quantity  and  hold  firm  at  $1  a 
dozen  and  as  popular  as  ever.  J.  D. 
Cockcroft,  one  of  their  expert  carnation 
growers,  of  Northport,  L.  I.,  was  in  the 
city  Monday. 

Violets  have  come  to  the  parting  of  the 
ways.  Only  a  few  boxes  came  down 
Monday.  Up  at  Bhinebeck  the  growers 
have  everything  in  shipshape  already  for 
the  coming  year,  the  cuttings  made,  the 
old  plants  out,  and  the  plans  completed 
for  just  as  strenuous  a  season  as  ever. 
The  author  of  "how  to  grow"  them  had 
a  detective  experience  with  a  native  of 
the  Grecian  archipelago  last  week  that 
should  have  a  salutary  effect  upon  the 
light  fingered  genlry  of  the  trade.  The 
purloining  of  a  lot  of  valley  and  the  dis- 
covery of  the  theft  in  time  to  catch  the 
villain  stirred  up  the  atmosphere  on 
Twenty-ninth  street.  The  generous  pa- 
tience of  Mr.  Saltford  permitted  the  fel- 
low to  escape  with  a  warning.  The  les- 
son was  needed,  and  a  more  severe  one 
than  was  used,  for  there  has  been  a  lot 
of  pilfering  that  should  be  ended  at  once 
and  forever. 

The  supply  of  lilies  is  enormous.  For- 
tunately they  are  largely  used  for  church 
and  wedding  decorations.  The  price  con- 
tinues low.  The  shipments  of  southern 
daffodils  and  lilac  have  begun.  In  a  few 
days  the  street  will  be  flooded  with  them. 
The  prospect  is  for  a  larger  supply  than 
ever.  Bulbous  stock  of  all  kinds  is 
abundant  and  prices  realized  are  low  and 
unsatisfactory. 


Various  Notes. 

The  return  of  spring  has  awakened 
anew  the  general  interest  in  the  club's 
annual  outing  July  2.  Already  over  $400 
has  been  subscribed  in  its  behalf  by  the 
generous  membership,  with  nearly  200  to 
be  heard  from. 

The  tenth  lecture  of  the  American  In- 
stitute course  will  be  given  on  Wednes- 
day of  this  week,  by  Prof.  Edmuutl 
Bronk  Southwick,  entomologist  of  the  de- 
partment of  parks  of  New  York  City,  at 
the  Berkeley  Lyceum.  The  subject,  "In- 
sects Injurious  to  Trees,  Shrubs  and 
Herbaceous  Plants,"  will  be  illustrated 
by  stereopticon  views.  The  attendance 
at  these  popular  lectures  grows  weeklv. 

A.  J.  Guttman  started  April  .20  for  a 
two  weeks'  trip  to  Cuba,  by  the  steamer 
Morro  Castle.  George  Okkerse,  the  re- 
tail florist  of  lower  Fifth  avenue,  accom- 
panied him.

Charles  See,  the  popular  bookkeeper  it 
Siebrecht  &  Son  for  twenty  years,  in  t  e 
loss  of  his  mother.  The  funeral  toi  iv 
place  April  20  and  the  floral  oflferin* 
of  his  friends  attested  the  regret  felt  n 
his  bereavement. 

Some  new  retail  stores  in  the  near  i  i

them  promising  unique  and  complete  i  '• 
ting  up  and  conveniences.

Largest  Stock  of  any  Supply  House  in  the  West. 

RIBBONS   AND    CHirFONS 

These  Ribbons  and  Chiffons  were  bought  before  the  recent 
market  advance,  and  besides  having  the  advantage  of  buying 
before  the  increase  in  price,  we  have  bought  in  what  are  known 
as  "  loom  orders."  This  necessitates  the  use  of  a  large  sum  of 
money,  on  account  of  having  a  Joom  for  each  particular  style  and 
color,  but  it  means  a  big  saving  in  price  over  buying  in  small  lots 
and  enables  us  to  compete  with  any  Ribbon  House  in 
the  United  States. 

Furthermore,  all  our  Ribbons  and  Chiffons  are  made 
especially  for  Florists*  use  and  are  not  the  millinery  stock 
commercial  travelers  so  often  urge  upon  Florists. 

All  colors,  widths  and  styles. 

Samples  and  prices  gladly  sent  upon  request.

L.  Wertheimber  &  Co.,  at  31  Barclay 
street,  have  a  novelty  in  pot  covers  made 
of  cycas  leaves,  strong,  unique  and  pop- 
ular, that  is  selling  fast.  They  are  send- 
ing out  a  sample  nest  of  eight  .sizes  at

Donohoe  has  the  decoration,  at  Del-

liead  of  the  women's  clubs.  Several 
hundred  swans  filled  with  pansies  will 
be  used  as  favors.  He  also  has  the  dec- 
oration this  week  for  the  Eclectic  Club, 
at  Sherry's. 

The  Kervan  Co.  will  occupy.  May  1, 
the  store  on  West  Twenty-eighth  street, 
<lirectly  opposite  the  new  quarters  of 
fiunther  Bros.  These  gentlemen  are  fit- 
ting up  their  headquarters  with  all  the 
latest  conveniences  and  evidently  with  a 
view  to  permanent  location.  We  hear  of 
several  others  looking  for  the  right  spot 
in  this  neighborhood.  Some  are  talking 
of  a  general  exodus,  in  time,  to  some 
section  between  Thirty-fourth  and  Forty- 
f^econd  streets  and  near  the  great  Penn- 
■ivlvania  depot.  The  idea  of  centraliza- 
Mon  seems  to  be  growing  with  the  whole- 
salers and  the  protest  against  exhorbi- 
*ant  rentals  is  widespread.  It  makes 
but  little  difference  as"  to  locality  if  co- 
'^peration  is  developed. 

Arthur  T.  Boddington  has  only  op- 
timistic views  as  to  the  future  of  the 
business,  which  is  natural  in  the  midst  of 
the  greatest  season  in  his  career.  He  re- 
ports a  tremendous  demand  for  hardy 
roses  and  all  varieties  of  nursery  stock, 
Japanese  lilies  and  tuberous  begonias. 


H.  H.  Berger  &  Co.  move  to  their  new 
store  May  1.  Like  all  the  bulb  houses, 
they  report  the  busiest  season  in  their 
history. 

Siebrecht  &  Son,  of  the  Kose  Hill 
Nurseries,  report  the  greatest  contracts 
for.  outdoor  planting  of  any  of  their 
quarter  century  experience.  There  is  no 
doubt  remaining  as  to  the  fact  that  never 
in  the  country's  experience  have  the 
nurserymen  been  so  drawn  upon  and  en- 
couraged in  their  work. 

The  Julius  Eoehrs  Co.  has  just  received 
a  grand  importation  of  Cattleya  Trianse, 
as  well  as  C.  labiata  and  Dendrobiuiu 
Wardianum.  The  new  houses  will  have  to 
be  added  to  before  the  summer  is  over. 
The  coming  winter  promises  to  be  the 
liveliest  orchid  season  this  country  has 
ever  known. 

Winsor  still  comes  to  town  in  goodly 
quantities  from  the  big  houses  of  the  F. 
R.  Pierson  Co.,  at  Scarboro,  and  the 
Beautv  King  has  divided  his  loyalty. 

J.  T.  Lovett,  of  Little  Silver,  N.  J., 
is  shipping  many  carloads  of  mountain 
laurel  this  spring,  the  demand  for  this 
popular  evergreen  for  the  large  estates 
being  more  widespread  than  ever. 

The  nurseries  of  Alex  McConnell,  at 
New  Eochelle,  are  proving  of  greater 
value  this  spring  than  ever  in  supplying 
the  demand  for  choice  evergreens  for  his 
country  trade,  while  the  greenhouses  have 
been  utilized  all  winter  profitably  in  the 
forcing  of  all  the  popular  shrubs  for  his 
retail  service. 

Robert  G.  Wilson,  of  Brooklyn,  haa 
now  thoroughly  refurnished  and  rebuilt 


his  greenhouse  plant,  on  Greene  avenue, 
installing  the  new  benches  patented  by 
his  brother,  and  imperishable. 

S.  Masur  will  occupy  his  new  store,  at 
236  Fulton  street,  Brooklyn,  May  1. 

The  exodus  to  Newport  will  soon  be- 
gin. Up  to  date  the  same  New  York 
firms  as  have  migrated  to  society's  Mec- 
ca for  years  will  do  business  at  their  old 
stands.  If  anticipations  are  reliable,  the 
Newport  season  promises  better  than 
last  year. 

A.  Warendorff  reports  the  usual  spring 
demand  for  steamer  sailings,  with  many 
out-of-town  orders.  Tlie  call  from  other 
cities  for  this  purpose  grows  constantly.

ter average  prices.  There  is  a  fair 
amount  of  business  and  at  times  it  shows 
unusual  activity  for  the  end  of  April. 
The  feature  of  the  market  has  been  the 
scarcity  of  carnations.  Prices  have  ad- 
vanced, especially  on  the  lower  grades, 
so  that  it  is  diflScult  to  get  salable  stock 
for  less  than  $2  per  hundred,  while  choice 
Enchantress  readily  brings  $4.  Colored 
carnations  are  selling  a  trifle  better  than 
white,  with  Joost  and  Enchantress  as 
favorites  in  their  respective  classes.  Cat- 
tleya  Mossiaj  has  made  its  appearance  in 
(juantity,  and  i)rices  are  lower.  Sweet 
peas  vary  greatly  as  to  quality.  Really 
choice  flowers  are  soiling  well  at  the 
highest  listed  quotation,  while  poorer 
flowers  are  entirely  too  plentiful  and  dif- 
ficult to  sell  at  any  ])rice.  Violets  can 
still  be  had,  but  indications  point  to 
their  disappearance  with  the  close  of  the 
month.  Lilium  Harrisii  will  average  a 
shade  better  in  price  than  a  week  ago, 
the  superabundance  being  past.  A  few 
cornflowers  have  made  their  appearance. 
For  other  flowers,  see  last  week's  re- 
port.   Conditions  remain  unchanged. 

Up  in  the  Factory. 

Announcement  liaving  been  made  that 
the  factory  of  H.  Bayersdorfer  &  Co. 
was  busily  engaged  in  turning  out  metal- 
lic designs,  Phil,  being  somewhat  curious 
on  the  subject,  was,  through  the  cour- 
tesy of  Paul  Berkowitz,  of  the  firm, 
shown  the  workings  of  this  factory,  lo- 
cated on  the  fourth  floor  of  the  new 
building.  The  workshop  is  bright  and 
airy,  with  plenty  of  room  to  move  about. 
Workmen  were  busily  engaged  in  turn- 
ing the  raw  material,  consisting  of  cir- 
cles of  wire,  foliage,  and  flowers,  into 
the  finished  wreath,  the  various  stages 
of  preparation  being  most  interesting. 
The  results  displayed  workmanship  of  a 
high  order.     Here  a  perfect  violet  cross,

nature,  while  box  after  box  was  filled 
with    every    imaginable    combination    of

The  Andorra  Nurseries. 

The  cool  weather  we  have  experienced 
during  the  greater  jiart  of  April  has 
been  of  immense  benefit  to  the  nursery- 
men. The  Andorra  Nurseries,  with  their 
large  shipping  business,  have  been  en- 
abled thereby  to  deliver  quantities  of  fine 
stock  to  the  purchasers  under  the  most 
advantageous  conditions,  conditions  -so 
favorable  as  to  make  transplanting  an 
absolute  certainty.    Eeview  readers  may 


not  be  aware  of  the  extent  of  the  busi 
ness    done    by   the    Andorra    Nurseries. 
Four  hundred  odd  acres  of  the  choices^ 
nursery  stock  are  under  cultivation.   Or- 
ders aggregating  many  thousands  of  dol 
lars  are   filled  from   their   own  grounds 
and  shipped  to  all  parts  of  the  country. 
The  bulk  of  the  orders  come  from  park- 
and    large   private    estates,    who    esteeii' 
quality  and  must  have  a  number  of  eacl 
size  of  tree,  or  shrub,  or  evergreen. 

The  credit  of  developing  the  busine> 
of  the  Andorra  Nurseries  is  due  largcl\ 
to  the  ability  of  William  Warn<': 
Harper,  formerly  manager,  now  pro 
prietor.  He  is  an  able  nursery 
man,  hard  working,  far  seeing,  gen-

There  is  no  graft  in  William  Warner 
Harper.  It  is  an  open  secret  that  orders 
have  been  lost  or  greatly  reduced  because 
there  was  "nothing  in  it"  for  the 
gardener  in  charge;  but  while  this  may 
seoni,  at  first  glance,  poor  policy,  there  is 
no  doubt  that  in  the  end  it  has  proven 
the  Aviser  course.  The  man  who  has 
choice  stock  and  will  not  stoo])  to  mean 
methods  to  dispose  of  it  is  certain  to 
^vin  the  confidence  of  those  with  whom 
he  deals  in  the  long  run. 

Various  Notes. 

Wm.  ,T.  !Nroore  has  vacated  his  office 
in   the  Flower  Market  building,   closing 


his  wholesale  commission  business  for 
the  season. 

M.  Rice  and  Mrs.  Rice  arrived  safely

H.  Bayersdorfcr  and  Mrs.  Bayersdor- 
fer  arrived  in  Hamburg  April  20. 

Southern  daffodils  are  reaching  this 
market  in  better  condition  than  at  any 
time  during  the  season. 

The  retail  stores  are  largely  affecting 
pansies  and  daisies  just  noAv,  both  grow- 
ing and  as  cut  flowers.

John  Burton's  Chatenay  are  said,  by 
an  expert  who  has  seen  them,  to  be  some- 
thing   a    little    ahead    of    anything    ever 


seen  about  liero  in  roses.  The  i)lants

demand  for  their  cemetery  vase  far  bet- 
ter, even,  than  last  season,  when  this

Cold  weather  continues.  Biting  winds,

far  been  the  lot  of  April,  which  has  evi- 
<lently  taken  the  ])lace  of  March.  Tlie

keep  i)rices  up  a  little,  although  more

needs.  Roses  are  abundant.  Beauties  of 
good  quality  are  ])lentiful,  but  not  in 
great  request.  Other  roses  are  plentiful, 
with  no  special  change  in  prices.  An- 
other year  will  probably  see  more  Rich- 
monds  and  less  Beauties  grown,  from 
the  way  the  former  has  forged  its  way 
into  a  front  ])lace.  Carnations  are  still 
of  good  quality.  Enchantress  so  far 
holds  its  color  well  and  is  the  leader 
still.  Harry  Fenn  brings  extra  good

There  is  a  fairly  good  supply  of  sweet 
peas. 

Bulbous  stock  is  rather  scarce  and  sell- 
ing better.  Owing  to  the  cold  weather, 
none  is  forthcoming  from  outdoors.  Lil- 
ies and  callas  are  in  good  supply.  Some 
good  gladioli  are  arriving  and  make  $1.50 
per  dozen  spikes.  Marguerites  are  plen- 
tiful and  so  are  antirrhinum.  Green 
stock  is  much  the  same,  except  hardy 
ferns,  which  are  scarce  and  of  poor 
quality. 

Qub  Banquet. 

The  annual  banquet  of  the  Gardeners* 
and  Florists'  Club  was  held  in  the  lec- 
ture room  of  Horticultural  hall  Wednes- 
day evening,  April  24.  The  attendance 
hardly  equaled  last  year 's,  when  250  were 
present.  The  higher  price  of  the  tickets 
kept  some  away,  and  others,  owing  to 
the  busy  season,  could  not  attend.  The 
gathering,  however,  was  a  splendid  and 
representative  one  and  included  several 
visitors  from  other  states.  The  banquet 
tables  were  beautifully  decorated  with 
roses,  carnations,  candidum  lilies,  antir- 
rhinums and  other  seasonable  cut  flowers 
and  plants.  J.  W.  Duncan  was  chairman 
of  the  decoration  committee,  being  as- 
sisted by  Peter  Fisher,  G.  M.  Anderson, 
S.  F.  Doten  and  James  L.  Miller.  Cook 
acted  as  caterer  in  his  usual  efficient 
manner. 

An  informal  reception  preceded  the 
banquet  and  at  the  close  the  tables  ware 


cleared  away  for  dancing,  which  was 
kept  up  until  the  "we  sma'  hoors  ayont 
the  hoor  o'  twal. "  Edward  Hatch  had 
charge  of  the  ticket  selling  and  also  had 
a  few  felicitous  remarks,  couched  in  his 
usual  happy  style,  to  offer  the  audience 
after  the  banquet. 

Peter  Miller  acted  as  chairman  of  the 
dancing  committee,  with  an  able  corps 
of  assistants.  Duncan  Finlayson  proved 
an  ideal  chairman  for  the  reception  com- 
mittee. The  whole  evening  was  a  thor- 
oughly enjoyable  one  for  all  who  at- 
tended. 

Various  Notes. 

William  C.  Eust,  gardener  to  Dr.  C.  G. 
Weld,  showed  a  large  and  magnificent 
flowered  specimen  of  the  pure  white, 
sweetly  scented  Rhododendron  Lady 
Alice  Fitzwilliam,  which  was  awarded 
a  silver  medal. 

The  members  of  the  landscape  garden- 
ing class  of  the  Gardeners'  and  Florists' 
Club  had  rather  unfavorable  weather  for 
their  field  day,  on  April  19,  in  the  Park- 
way, West  Roxbury,  rain  and  snow  fall- 
ing all  afternoon.  There  was,  never- 
theless, a  good  attendance  and  much 
practical  knowledge  was  gained. 

It  is  probable  that  the  unsatisfactory 
prices  realized  for  bulbs  this  season  will 
materially  reduce  the  numbers  grown  in 
this  section  another  year,  unless  growers 
change  their  minds  between  now  and 
planting  time. 

J.  T.  Butterworth  is  cutting  fine  Cat- 


tleya  Mossiae  at  present.-  He  has  a  splen- 
did lot  of  this  cattleya  and  grows  it  well. 

William  Sim  was,  as  usual,  last  in  the 
market  with  single  violets,  frame  grown. 
He  is  still  marketing  quantities  of  fine 
sweet  peas  and  has  his  violet  houses 
planted  with  tomatoes. 

Nephrolepis  Whitmani,  from  H.  H. 
Barrows  &  Son,  graced  the  tables  at  the 
club  banquet  this  week.  Messrs.  Barrows 
report  a  continued  heavy  call  for  this 
popular  fern,  but  think  they  have  a  new 
one  coming  along  to  beat  it. 

Walter  Mott,  the  genial  representative 
of  Bobbink  &  Atkins,  has  just  finished 
a  tour  in  this  section.  Mr.  Mott  will 
next  July  assume  charge  of  a  commer- 
cial establishment  at  Sharon,  Pa.,  where 
his  many  friends  will  wish  him  good  luck. 

W.  N.  Craig. 


Sharpsburg,  Pa.  —  John  Foss,  who 
was  critically  ill  with  pneumonia,  is  con-

Trade  in  the  cut  flower  line  has 
I'icked  lip  greatly  since  my  last  report, 
;ind  from  the  way  the  retailers  scramble 
lor  stock  at  the  wholesale  houses  every 
"lorning,  everybody  must  have  had  a 
iiood  deal  of  work  on  hand. 

The  weather  opened  fine  Monday  morn- 
'ig,  the  first  spring-like  day  we  have  had 
'or  the  last  six  weeks.  A  few  good  rains 
■re  needed  to  put  the  ground  in  shape 
■or  planting  out,  and  for  these  our 
.^rowers  are  waiting. 

The  wholesalers  again  have  the  edge 
['n  the  retailers.  Stock  of  all  kinds  has 
"een  scarce  and  prices  have  gone  up  a 
'cw  cents  on  roses  and  carnations,  and 
'>e  way  the  trade  hustled  from  one  house 
^  the  other  for  stock  was  a  caution, 
bargain  signs  among  the  downtown  re- 
tailers were  not  seen,  as  carnations  were 
Retailing  at  75  cents  and  $1  per  dozen. 
J^he  wholesalers  have  been  cleaning  up 
almost  every  day  in  all  lines  except  long 


Beauties,  which  have  been  quite  plenti- 
ful of  late.  The  stock  in  roses  that  is 
coming  in  seems  to  be  of  extra  good 
quality,  especially  those  of  Fred  Am- 
niann  and  Walter  "Weber.  Their  Rich- 
mond and  Chatenay  are  hard  to  beat  in 
their  present  form. 

Carnations  are  in  great  demand  and 
anything  that  looks  good  is  bought  up. 
Boston  Market  and  Lady  Bountiful  are 
fine,  but  so  are  Nelson  Fisher  and  Law- 
son,     Few  good  reds  are  in. 

There  is  plenty  of  fine  valley,  also 
callas.  Next  week  cape  jasmine  from 
Texas  is  expected.  Good  greens  are  plen- 
tiful, except  ferns. 

Various  Notes. 

E.  W.  Guy,  Henry  Emunds  and  A.  S. 
Halstead,  three  of  Belleville's  leading 
florists,  spent  a  day  in  the  city  last  week, 
visiting  the  trade  and  buying  supplies. 
They  all  report  a  good  trade  since  Eas- 
ter, in  design  work,  cut  flowers  and 
plants. 

Edwin  Denker,  of  St.  Charles,  Mo.,  and 
A.   C.   Canfield,  of  Springfield,   111.,  v«- 


ited   the    wholesale   houses   and   some   of 
the  trade  last  week. 

Philip  C.  Scanlan  has  been  appointed 
park  commissioner  by  Mayor  Wells,  suc- 
ceeding Robert  Aull,  who  has  held  the 
oflice  for  four  years.  Mr.  Sc.inlan  will 
have  the  power  to  appoint  the  superin- 
tendent of  parks,  to  succeed  George  Os- 
tertag,  the  present  incumbent. 

Trustee  Smith  has  arranged  to  hold  a 
meeting  of  the  trustees  of  the  Florists' 
Club  sometime  next  week,  to  arrange  de- 
tails for  the  club's  anniversary  and  re- 
port at  the  May  meeting  of  the  club. 

It  has  been  report^  that  the  fall 
flower  show,  which  will  be  given  by  the 
St.  Louis  Horticultural  Society,  will  be  ' 
held  in  the  new  exhibition  building  which 
will  be  erected  at  Jefferson  and  Wash- 
ington avenues,  this  to  be  the  first  event 
given  in  the  new  hall,  if  the  report  is 
correct.  The  success  of  the  show  finan- 
cially is  already  assured. 

Carew  Sanders,  one  of  the  oldest  flo-* 
rists  in  the  city,  now  nearly  80  years  old,

friends.    Mr.  Sanders  has  been  ill  nearly

all  winter,  but  is  now  on  the  road  to  re- 
covery, which  will  be  good  news  to  his 
many  friends  in  the  trade.  Mr.  Sanders 
is  a  cousin  to  Edgar  Sanders,  of  Chi- 
cago, who  is  the  same  age  as  he.  Here's 
hoping  that  both  enjoy  many  years  to 
come  with  us. 

Fred  Foster's  place,  at  Broadway  and 
Olive  streets,  looks  lonesome,  with  every- 
thing around  and  above  him  for  rent. 
Still  he  is  making  his  usual  good  show 
and  doing  a  rushing  business. 

John  Burke  has  given  up  the  idea  of 
renting  the  big  corner  at  Sixth  and  Lo- 
cust streets  and  will  content  himself 
with  the  old  stand  as  long  as  trade  is  as 
good  as  it  has  been. 

Adolph  Brix  reports  that  he  had  a  big 
week  with  funeral  work  and  that  as  soon 
as  the  weather  permits  he  will  start 
building  his  new  houses  at  his  Mead 
avenue  establishment.  His  foreman, 
Henry  Braun,  has  left  his  employ  and 
will  look  for  larger  fields. 

Frank  Fillmore  had  great  success  this 
year  forcing  candidum  lilies  for  Easter. 
This  stock  was  handled  by  Kuehn  and 
brought  good  prices.  Mr.  Fillmore  says 
he  will  make  a  specialty  of  these  next 
year. 

The  plantsmen  at  the  Union  market 
report  trade  not  so  good  last  week,  owing 
to  the  cold  weather.  The  seedsmen,  too, 
came  in  for  a  little  slack  time  during 
the  cold  snap.  Should  this  keep  up 
planting  out  will  not  begin  before  May  1 
and  then  all  hands  will  have  to  hurry. 

At  their  installation  last  week,  the 
newly  elected  councilmen  and  the  new 
appointees  of  the  mayor  received  a  num- 
ber of  large  floral  designs  and  bouquets 
of  American  Beauties.  In  the  council 
chamber  every  desk  was  filled  with  flow- 
ers. American  Beauties  were  in  pro- 
fusion. J.  J.  B.

DETROIT. 

The  Market. 

So  far  spring  has  been  here  in  name 
only,  the  weather  having  been  anything 
but  spring-like.  Many  of  the  stores  have 
had  a  heavy  run  on  funeral  work  of  late, 
but  aside  from  this  there  is  little  doing. 

A  shortage  of  stock  is  apparent  on  all 
sides,  the  cold  weather  having  had  its 
effects  on  the  crops. 

Long  stemmed  roses  are  at  a  premium ; 
shorter  grades  are  more  plentiful,  but 
everything  was  cleaned  up  Saturday. 
White  carnations  are  unusually  scarce; 
colored  stock  is  a  little  more  plentiful. 
Bulbous  stock  is  thinning  out,  but  many 
hyacinths  are  being  used  in  sprays  for 
funerals.  Smilax  is  a  scarce  article, 
with  common  ferns  a  close  second. 

The  Michigan  Cut  Flower  Exchange 
has  someone  busy  all  the  time  picking 
over  ferns;  some  bunches  of  twenty-five 
have  nothing  but  the  string  left  after 
the  bad  ferns  are  picked  out.  Many  thou- 
sands have  been  thrown  out. 


Qub  Meetin£. 

There  was  but  a  small  attendance  at 
the  last  meeting  of  the  Detroit  Florists' 
Club.  George  Eackham,  the  essayist  of 
the  evening,  was  absent,  owing  to  sick- 
ness, but  sent  word  that  he  will  be  pre- 
pared May  1.  His  paper  is  entitled 
"Wholesale  and  Retail."  The  meeting 
was  adjourned  early  in  the  evening. 

Various  Notes. 

The  advent  of  warmer  weather  has 
brought  forth  the  street  faker  in  all  his 
glory,  but,  despite  the  fact  that  fairly 
good  stock  is  almost  given  away  on  the 
streets,  good  prices  are  still  holding  their 
own  in  the  stores.  The  commission  men 
are  using  the  fakers  to  good  advantage 
by  unloading  old,  full  blown  roses  upon 
them. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  A.  Fetters  are  in 
Cleveland. 

A  lecture  on  "Civic  Improvement" 
will  be  delivered  by  the  lecturer  of  the 
National  Cash  Register  Co.,  under  the 
auspices   of  the   Detroit   Florists'   Club, 


at  Harmonic  hall  the  evening  of  May  1. 
There  will  be  no  admission  fee  and  all 
are  welcome. 

Judge  and  Mrs.  Vesey,  of  Fort  Wayne, 
Ind.,  were  visitors  last  week. 

Frank  Holznagle  is  cutting  some  ex 
ceptionally  fine  Brides  and  Maids.  Rich- 
mond is  also  very  fine  with  this  firm. 

Wm.  Hielscher's  wire  working  force  is 
working   overtime  making   hanging  bas 
kets.  H.  S. 


Hartford,  Conx. — Clarence  L.  Sadd, 
of  Wapping,  will  break  ground  for  two 
large  greenhouses  on  Burnside  avenue, 
just  beyond  the  state  rifle  range,  early 
next  month. 

Warwick,  R.  I.  —  Work  is  being 
pushed  on  the  splendid  and  extensive 
block  of  houses  being  built  on  the  estate 
of  Senator  N.  W.  Aldrich,  where  F.  C. 
Green  has  charge.  The  Pierson  U-Bar 
Co.  has  the  contract.  Six  houses  will  be 
devoted  to  fruits,  the  balance  to  growing 
plants  and  cut  flowers.

v'ce-Pres.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo,  O.;  Sec'y  and 
rp,',.a8  C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland.  The  25th  annual 
tn-eiiag  'will  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1907 


Onion  seed  is  being  offered  that  ger- 
minates only  forty  per  cent. 

Unfavorable  weather  is  interfering 
vith  operations  in  practically  all  seed 
g lowing  localities. 

Seedsmen  will  be  interested  in  the 
sketch  of  M.  Crawford  printed  on  an- 
other page  in  this  issue. 

Onion  seed  of  strong  vitality  for  onion 
set  purposes  is  being  sought  for  and 
none  is  being  found. 

There  has  been  several  inches  of  snow 
in  some  of  the  Michigan  pea  and  bean 
districts  in  the  last  week. 

Reports  of  crop  injury  always  are  ex- 
aggerated, but  there  is  no  mistaking  that 
onion  seed  will  be  a  problem  next  sea- 
son. 

The  California  growers  who  booked 
no  contract  orders  for  onion  seed  for 
1907  crop  will  be  all  right— if  they 
have  any  crop. 

Reports  generally  are  to  the  effect 
that  business  for  April  in  all  lines  of  the 
seed  trade  is  below  normal.  The  weather 
of  course  is  responsible  for  this. 

H.  I.  FosKETT,  trustee  in  bankruptcy 
for  Joseph  R.  Ratekin,  Shenandoah,  la., 
has  paid  a  second  dividend  to  creditors, 
amounting  to  seven  and  one-fourth  per 
cent. 

The  Northern  Seed  Co.,  of  Valley 
City,  N.  D.,  has  been  incorporated  with 
$10,000  capital  stock  by  E.  S.  De  Lancey, 
E.  J.  De  Lancey  and  C.  H.  Briggs,  all  of 
Valley  City. 

At  Chicago  April  23  timothy  seed  was 
strong,  but  dull.  Contract  spot  was 
quoted  $4.25;  September,  $4.60;  coun- 
try lots,  $3.00  to  $4.10.  Clover  was 
steady  at  $14.75  for  contract,  and  $8.00 
to  $13.00  for  cash  lots. 

Pea  and  bean  growers  report  that  con- 
tract business  for  the  coming  year  is 
booked  up  to  the  full  capacity  of  their 
arranged  for  acreages  and  they  are  in- 
«lined  to  hold  off,  refusing  orders  rather 
than  run  the  risk  of  disappointing  cus- 
tomers after  harvest. 

There  is  said  to  have  been  no  special 
rush  for  onion  seed  in  the  last  fortnight, 
where  a  strong  demand  was  expected.  It 
is  now  thought  to  be  too  late  for  any 
great  inquiry  for  seed  and  many  lots 
are  offered,  but  are  mostly  of  poor  ger- 
minating quality.  There  is  said  to  be 
some  good  seed  of  globe  varieties  to 
spare. 

There  has  been  but  small  demand  for 
onion  sets  during  the  last  three  weeks. 
It  was  fortunate  that  the  month  of 
March  gave  such  good  weather  and  per- 
mitted an  early  clean-up.  There  are  but 
few  sets  left,  anyway,  and  no  one  seems 
to  be  worrying,  as  there  is  always  a  de- 
mand in  a  small  way  up  to  May  15. 

No  change  in  the  general  conditions 
can  be  noted  since  last  week 's  issue.  The 
week's  weather  has  not  been  such  as  to 
add  anything  to  the  growth  of  the  seed 
planted  early  and  which  was  then  and

is  now  lying  in  the  ground  dormant.  It 
will  take  a  week  or  two  of  good  weather 
to  show  whether  the  seed  has  vitality 
enough  to  withstand  the  adverse  condi- 
tions and  whether  replanting  will  be 
necessary. 

The  onion-set  growers  are  on  the 
anxious  seat.  At  Louisville  and  in  the 
district  south  of  Chicago  considerable 
seed  was  planted  early  in  April  and  it  is 
not  yet  known  what  part  has  survived. 
Unplanted  fields  are  now  being  seeded 
as  opportunity  presents,  for  seed  for  sets 
should  be  in  by  May  1.  There  is  little 
good  seed  of  the  flat  varieties  to  be 
had,  and  little  time  for  replanting,  if 
need  should  develop.

prices  are  the  result.  Arrangements  have 
been  made  accordingly  and  no  great  in- 
convenience has  resulted.  Taken  gener- 
ally, the  seed  trade  recently  has  been 
good,  some  say  even  a  record.  Prices 
mostly  have  been  higher;  quality  gen- 
erally has  been  better  and  more  pleasing 
to  the  dealer  and  the  customer,  and  the 
demand  has  been  bigger  than  usual. 
Those  firms  who  do  an  advertising  trade, 
receiving  the  bulk  of  their  orders  by 
mail  from  all  parts  of  the  kingdom,  re- 
port the  trade  as  never  having  been  so 
heavy.  Sweet  peas  possibly  have  not 
realized  the  expectation  of  some.  In  my 
opinion  tlu'V  have  been  somewhat  over- 
boomed,  and,  as  is  the  case  when  an  art- 
icle is  boomed  by  advertisement,  etc., 
the  popularity  does  not  last.  I  am 
afraid,  therefore,  that  sweet  peas  are 
likely  to  lose  ground  in  public  favor;  at 
least  they  have  reached  the  zenith  of 
their  fame. 

As  previously  reported  by  me  in  these 
notes,  the  trade  in  the  better  and  choicest 
class  of  flower  seeds  has  been  excep- 
tionally good,  probably  never  better — a 
sure  proof  that  the  trade  of  the  country 
is  in  a  flourishing  condition. 

Garden  peas,  although  at  times  very 
low  prices  prevailed,  considering  the  big 
stocks,  have  cleaned  up  moderately  well, 
the  returns  generally  being  nothing  to 
grumble  at.  This  is  probably  due  in  a 
great  measure  to  the  pleasing  samples. 
The  seed  potato  trade,  as  far  as  the  old 
and  well  tried  varieties  are  concerned,  is 
in  a  booming  condition.  For  such  old 
sorts  as  Puritans,  Myatts,  Dates,  etc., 
the  demand  has  never  been  greater,  some 
of  the  largest  distributors  informing  me

some  markets  prices  have  ruled  very 
low.  Taken  generally,  the  agricultural 
seed  trade  is  likely  to  prove  a  very 
heavy  one  and  at  good  prices.  The  Brit- 
ish farmers  are  having  a  fairly  pros- 
perous time  and  are  in  a  good  mood  for 
using  high  class  strains  of  seeds  and  giv- 
ing good  prices.  They  are  also  sowing  a 
considerably  greater  acreage  than  is  the 
case  when  trade  is  bad  and  money  is 
short  with   them.  B.    J.

Aside  from  the  program  features,  great 
interest  will  attach  to  the  business  of  the 
convention.  The  committee  on  seed  adul- 
teration will  have  an  important  report. 
Action  will  be  necessary  to  head  off  in- 
imical legislation,  not  only  in  the  next 
congress  but  in  several  states.  The  postal 
committee  will  have  the  very  important 
subject  of  the  recent  rulings  against 
prize  offers  in  catalogues.  And  there  is 
the  perennial  subject  of  the  congressional 
seed  distribiltion. 

The  convention  to  be  held  in  New 
York  is  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of 
the  formation  of  the  American  Seed 
Trade  Association,  and  efforts  are  being 
put  forth  to  make  it  a  most  notable  oc- 
casion in  celebration  of  that  event.  The 
selection  of  the  Hotel  Astor  by  the  local 
committee  on  entertainment  is  a  happy 
and  fortunate  one.  This  hotel  is  one  of 
the  most  modern  in  New  York  City,  cen- 
trally located,  and  its  selection  should 
add  much  to  the  success  of  the  conven- 
tion. 


THE  SEED  TRADE. 

The  seed  trade  is  pretty  well  over  for 
the  season  and  the  summing  up  shows 
that  the  total  is  about  as  last  year.  With 
the  majority  the  business  up  to  about  the 
end  of  March  was  well  ahead  of  the 
best  previous  record,  but  since  April  1 
mail  trade  has  fallen  off  much  faster 
than  usual,  probably  due  to  the  bad 
weather,  and  Jounter  trade  has  been 
seriously  cut  aown.  It  is  now  so  late 
that  many  things  will  go  unplanted 
which  would  have  been  planted  with  sea- 
sonable April  weather.  Counter  trade, 
which  always  lasts  well  into  May,  is  ex- 
pected to  take  a  spurt  with  a  return  of 
spring-like  days,  but  little  more  can  be

photographs  of  houses  of  forced  vege- 
tables, or  any  other  photographs  pertain- 
ing to  the  subject  of  growing  vegetables 
under  glass. 

In  all  markets  the  best  grade  of 
greenhouse-grown  vegetables  is  holding 
its  own  in  price,  but  lower  grades  are 
suffering  from  the  competition  of  the 
southern  outdoor  stock.

three  crops,  or  would  you  let  the  seeds- 
men carry  it,  and  order  the  quantity 
wanted  for  each  sowing?  Could  I  run  in 
a  house  of  mums,  planting  early,  and 
follow  with  cucumbers,  or  would  it  be 
better  to  follow  with  a  crop  of  lettuce 
and  then  cucumbers?  Would  it  be  wise 
to  get  my  cucumber  seed  now?  Will

'_ H.  R. 

If  you  intend  your  lettuce  to  follow  a 
crop  of  chrysanthemums  you  will  not 
be  required  to  sow  seed  before  Septem- 
ber 20.  This  would  give  you  ample  time 
to  get  good,  strong  plants  for  setting 
out  in  the  benches.  If  you  mean  to 
plant  your  whole  house  at  one  time  and 
follow  with  another  crop  of  lettuce,  your 
next  sowing  would  have  to  be  made 
about  three  months  after  the  first,  as  you 
will  have  to  calculate  on  that  length  of 
time  for  your  crop  to  mature  from  time 
of   sowing. 

It  is  immaterial  whether  you  procure 
all  your  seed  at  one  time  or  get  it  as  you 
need  it.  If  you  have  a  good  place  for 
keeping  it,  and  there  is  no  danger  of  its 
being  destroyed  by  mice,  it  would  be 
just  as  well  to  get  it  all  together ;  other- 
wise get  it  as  you  want  it  and  let  the 
seedsman  carry  it.  We  usually  procure 
our  seeds  all  at  once,  store  them  in  a  dry

vitality  by  being  kept  for  a  few  month.s 
as  long  as  the  seed  is  good  and  fresli 
when  procured.  Lettuce  seed  over  a  year 
old  is  not  to  be  depended  on,  but  cu- 
cumber seed  is  good  for  two  years  at 
least. 

I  think  your  best  plan,  seeing  that  you 
are  just  starting  in  the  vegetable  forcing 
business,  would  be  to  grow  a  crop  of  let- 
tuce to  succeed  the  chrysanthemums  and 
follow  with  cucumbers,  if  you  decide  to 
grow  the  latter.  By  the  time  the  cu- 
cumber plants  reach  the  setting  period 
the  weather  will  be  sufficiently  bright  to 
make  the  setting  operation  easy  com- 
pared with  conditions  as  they  exist  dur- 
ing the  dull  days  of  winter;  but  if  you 
should  take  two  crops  of  lettuce  and  then 
follow  Avith  cucumbers,  I  am  afraid  you 
would  be  too  late  in  getting  the  crop 
matured  to  be  sure  of  remunerative 
prices,  as  the  southern  products  would  be 
plentiful  in  the  markets  by  the  time  you 
had  your  crop  ready.      W.  S.  Croydox.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


April  25,  1907. 


PACIFIC  COAST. 


It  has  been  a  rainy  spring  in  the 
Pacific  northwest. 

A  COMMITTEE  from  several  societies, 
under  the  leadership  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  is  preparing  for  a  big  spring 
rose  show  at  Portland,  Ore.,  in  the 
Forestry  building  at  the  old  Lewis  & 
Clark  exposition. 

Los  Angeles,  Cal. — The  visit  of  the 
Shriners,  whose  conclave  opens  May  6, 
will  bring  to  this  city  one  of  the  largest 
crowds  it  has  had  in  years.  There  will 
be  a  considerable  number  of  florists 
among  the  thousands  who  will  come. 

The  California  State  Floral  Society, 
which  is  an  organization  of  amateur 
growers  in  the  vicinity  of  San  Francisco, 
but  which  has  in  its  membership  a  con- 
siderable number  of  commercial  growers, 
held  its  annual  meeting  April  12  and 
elected  H.  Plath  president. 


VICTORIA,  B.  C. 


Trade  has  been  a  trifle  slack  since 
Easter.  We  have  not  been  enjoying  the 
prolonged  coldness  of  this  spring.  To 
illustrate  the  difference  between  this  sea- 
son and  the  last,  I  might  mention  that  I 
picked  my  first  daffodils  this  year  under 
a  south  wall  March  5,  and  last  year  from 
the  same  bulbs  January  25. 

Wollaston  &  Wallace's  bulb  farm  is 
now  gay.  Their  Emperor  daffodils  are 
especially  good.  Many  have  2-foot  stems. 
This  firm  is  shipping  many  flowers  to 
near-by  towns. 

The  cold  in  the  winter  did  much  dam- 
age. It  was  considered  safe  to  leave 
dahlias  in  the  ground,  but  last  winter 
killed  them  all.  Even  in  sheds  and  cel- 
lars they  suffered  severely.  I  notice  that 
pentstemons  are  killed,  and  many  gladi- 
oli and  even  montbretias  are  gone  in 
places.  Eoses  do  not  appear  to  be  much 
damaged.  Even  in  this  favored  clime  it 
will  not  do  to  take  too  many  chances. 

E.  A.  Wallace. 


CINCINNATI. 


The  Market. 


Another  week  of  bad  weather  was  our 
portion  and  as  a  consequence  flowers  of 
all  kinds  are  scarcer  than  ever.  While 
there  was  not  a  lively  demand  for  stock, 
still  the  fact  that  it  was  so  scarce  kept 
prices  up  and  the  orders  came  fast 
enough  to  clean  things  out  as  well  as 
any  one  could  wish.  The  last  of  the 
week  saw  the  wholesale  houses  sold  out 
to  the  last  flower,  with  quite  a  few  or- 
ders which  could  not  be  filled.  This 
week  has  started  in  with  a  good,  healthy 
demand  and  the  market  well  cleaned  out. 
The  sun  is  shining  again,  for  a  change, 
and  the  temperature  has  risen  to  a  point 
where  it  is  more  in  season.  With  such 
weather  conditions  there  ought  to  be  an 
increase  in  the  supply  of  flowers  in  a 
couple  of  days,  and  business  in  general 
ought  to  take  on  a  prosperous  aspect. 

Roses  are  and  have  been  more  plen- 
tiful than  carnations,  which  seem  to  be 
away  off  crop.  Judging  from  the  re- 
ports of  most  of  the  growers  in  this  sec- 
tion of  the  country,  it  will  be  some  time 
before  this  condition  wrill  be  improved, 
as  there  are  few  buds  in  sight.  It  may 
be  that  for  once  we  will  be  spared  the 
usual  May  glut.     With  some  bright  sun-

shine  there  ought  to  be  a  decided  in- 
crease in  the  supply  of  roses  and  I  be- 
lieve they  will  find  a  ready  market.  Sweet 
peas  have  been  scarce  and  the  demand 
for  them  has  been  much  in  excess  of 
the  supply.  It  is  expected  that  the  sup- 
ply will  increase  this  week,  as  several 
growers  report  a  crop  about  ready  to 
cut.  Lilies  of  all  kinds  have  been  scarce 
and  in  demand,  and  other  varieties  of 
bulbous  flowers  are  the  same.  Ferns  and 
smilax  are  also  on  the  scarce  list.  There 
is  some  good  Asparagus  plumosus  in 
strings  to  be  had  in  large  quantities.

a  box  oflBce  had  been  built.     Here  each 
guest  was  handed  a  ticket  which  entitled 
him  to  admission  to  the  grounds;  that  is, 
to  the  banquet  room,  through  a  turnstilf. 
Within  was  the  representation  of  a  basi-

a  high   fence,   with   the  usual   advertise 
inents  on  it,  and  some  large  fruit  trec^

The  price  of  trees  of  Mcintosh  Red

A  NOTICE  of  the  death  of  John  B. 
Buckmeister,  Fort  Scott,  Kan.,  appears 
in  the  obituary  column  this  week. 

It  is  reported  that  the  recent  cold 
weather  did  much  damage  to  the  peach 
crop  in  Georgia,  the  Elbertas  suffering 
more  than  any  other  variety. 

The  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
has  issued  a  bulletin.  Circular  No.  83  of 
the  bureau  of  entomology,  entitled  "The 
Locust  Borer  and  Methods  for  Its  Con- 
trol. ' ' 

J.  W.  Adams  &  Co.,  Springfield,  Maas., 
say  that  the  Amoor  Eiver  privet  was  the 
only  ligustrum  growing  on  their  grounds 
that  did  not  suffer  in  the  winter  just 
closed. 

The  railroads  have  been  busy  gathering 
information  as  to  the  damage  done  to 
fruit  crops  by  the  cold  weather  follow- 
ing the  three  weeks  of  spring  in  March. 
They  find  no  great  losses. 

The  German  reichstag  is  wrestling 
with  the  problem  of  overcoming  the 
phylloxera  and  is  considering  the  reno- 
vating of  vineyards  with  American  stocks 
as  the  only  means  promising  ultimate 
success. 

The  mayor  of  Bartlesville,  I.  T.,  has 
appointed  a  * '  beautifying  commitee, ' '  to 
have  chaj-ge  of  civic  improvement.  The 
committee  has  bought  a  quantity  of  orna- 
mental nursery  stock,  which  is  being  sold 
to  citizens  in  small  lots  at  cost  price. 

A,  E.  Reynolds,  Boonville,  N.  Y.,  says 
that  he  has  charge  of  about  2,000  feet 
of  hedge  of  the  common  thornapple  and 
that  he  knows  of  nothing  better  for 
northern  New  York.  It  is  perfectly 
hardy  and  if  kept  trimmed  makes  a  beau- 
tiful hedge. 

A  southern  nursery  is  advertising  in 
farm  papers  to  supply  "fine,  thrifty, 
June  budded  Elberta  peach  trees,  two 
to  three  feet  high"  at  2  cents  each. 
Here's  hoping  they  may  make  something 
at  it  besides  trouble  for  those  who  ask 
a  decent  price  for  well-grown  stock. 

Martin  Dolan  and  Daniel  Norris,  who 
recently  bought  the  Lapham  farm,  at 
Bridgewater,  Mass.,  which  included  twen- 
ty-five acres  of  nursery  stock,  part  of 
tlie  defunct  Shady  Hills  Nurserv  Co. 
land,  have  decided  to  sell  off  all  the 
stock  and  not  operate  it  as  a  nursery. 
They  have  already  recently  received  sev- 
eral offers  for  the  entire  stock. 

One  of  the  unique  features  of  the 
Chanute  Nurseries,  of  James  Truit  «fc 
Sons,  Chanute,  Kan.,  is  the  advertising 
wagon,  a  six-horse  affair,  which  traverses 
the  country  roads  of  se\-eral  states,  with 
men  who  put  up  signs  and  distribute  ad- 
vertising matter.  The  business  is  grow- 
ing steadily  and  fast.  A  storage  and 
packing  shed  100x225  is  the  latest  addi- 
tion to  the  facilities.

Incorporation  papers  have  been  ap- 
plied for  at  Springfield  by  Colonel  Ben- 
nitt,  George  A.  Barr  and  James  H.  Fer- 
riss  for  the  Joliet  Nurseries  Co.,  Joliet, 
111,;  capital,  $10,000.  The  purpose  ot 
the  organization  will  be  that  of  a  general 
nursery  business  and  landscape  garden- 
ing. Special  attention  Avill  be  given  to 
ornamental  stock. 

The  nurseries  at  West  Chester,  Pa,, 
are  still  busy  shipping,  the  continued 
cool  weather  operating  in  their  favor. 
Buds  were  not  far  enough  advanced  by 
the  warm  Aveather  of  March  to  be  in- 
jured by  the  cold  which  followed.  The 
prolonging  of  the  season  has  enabled  the 
nurserymen  to  keep  well  up  with  their 
work  and  the  season  has  been  the  largest 
in  years. 

Deutzia  Lemoinei  is  a  shrub  that 
blooms  freely  early  in  the  spring,  at 
a  time  when  there  is  not  an  abundance 
of  shrub  bloom.  The  plant  is  almost 
covered  with  panicles  of  pure  white  flow- 
ers carried  above  the  leaves,  the  con- 
trast giving  a  striking  appearance.  This 
shrub  grows  to  a  height  of  about  four 
feet  and  is  equally  satisfactory,  accord- 
ing to  the  publicity  bureau  of  the  Na- 
tional Council  of  Horticulture,  as  a 
hedge  plant,  in  the  mixed  border  or  as 
a  specimen  plant  in  the  lawn.  It  is  easily 
kept  in  neat  form  by  a  small  amount  of 
pruning,  which  should  be  done  after  the 
plants  bloom.  It  is  perfectly  hardy,  of 
easy  culture  and  rapid  growth. 


THE  BILTMORE  CATALCXjUE. 

The  Biltmore  Nursery  was  established 
in  1889,  For  ten  years  almost  the  entire 
output  Avas  used  on  the  Vanderbilt  es- 
tate, in  the  landscape  and  forest  plan- 
tations, Avhich  have  become  world  famous. 
In  1898  the  Biltmore  Nursery  entered  the 
commercial  field  and  is  steadily  adding 
to  the  extent  of  its  business.  The  1907 
catalogue  of  the  Biltmore  Nursery  is 
attracting  a  great  deal  of  attention  in 
the  trade.  It  contains  192  pages  and  is 
new  from  cover  to  cover.  It  contains 
215  illustrations,  all  half-tones  from  pho- 
tographs made  in  the  nursery,  and  there 
are  2,736  items  of  stock  listed  in  the 
index.  Tliere  is  no  more  complete  nurs- 
ery catalogue  issued  in  this  country  and 
there  is  none  which  was  compiled  with 
more  care  or  printed  with  closer  atten- 
tion to  details.  The  presswork  appeals 
with  special  force  to  one  accustomed  to 
printing.  The  copy  was  written  by  Mr, 
Beadle  and  the  illustrating  and  printing 
done  by  J,  Horace  McFarland.  It  is 
such  a  book  as  cannot  be  turned  out  on 
a  few  days '  notice,  but  it  is  sure  to  lead 
to  much  better  nursery  printing  in  the 
future.  Such  a  book  gives  the  reader 
the  idea  that  here,  indeed,  is  a  nursery

SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS. 

CRATAEGU.S  Crus-galli,  the  cockspur 
thorn,  is  one  of  the  hardiest  of  the 
thorns,  and,  besides  being  hardy,  it  is 
very  handsome  when  in  flower,  especially 
\vhen  the  tree  has  attained  a  height  of 
twelve  feet  or  more.  If  properly  looked 
after  it  will,  in  that  stage,  be  covered 
with  flowers  in  May,  which  give  place  to 
large  haws,  or  fruit  bright  red  in  color, 
in  tlie  fall  of  the  year.  The  English 
hawthorn,  C.  Oxyacantha,  is  another 
thorn  beautiful  while  in  bloom,  and  it 
has  also  the  additional  merit  of  its  flow- 
ers being  very  fragrant.  The  double- 
flowered  hawthorns  are  beautiful  for 
lawn  planting. 

The  silver  maple,  Acer  dasycarpum, 
is  one  of  the  best  maples  for  street  plant- 
ing, especially  when  quick  effect  is  sought 
rather  than  durability.    It  grows  rapidly

distance.  Azalea  amoena  can  be  used  as 
a  hedge  plant  and  for  bordering  rhodo- 
dendrons, as  well  as  in  groups  of  itself. 

Wier's  cut-leaved  maple,  var.  Wieri 
laciniatum,  is  an  offspring  of  the  silver 
maple  and,  like  it,  grows  rapidly  and  is 
prized  for  the  quick  effect  it  is  capable 
of,  as  well  as  for  its  distinguishing  fea- 
tures, deeply  out  leaves  and  drooping 
branches. 

The  bed  maple,  Acer  colchicum  ru- 
brum,  is  frequently  planted  because  of 
the  contrast  it  makes;  the  young  foliage 
is  bright  red  in  early  summer  and  it 
makes  a  second  growth  in  August  of  the 
same  color.  This  maple  is  not  a  quick 
grower  by  any  means. 

The  purple  Norway  maple,  Acer 
Schwedleri,  is  another  beautiful  maple 
in  its  young  summer  growth  of  reddish 
purple,  and  again  in  autumn  it  presents 
a  gorgeous  appearance,  changed  to  har- 
monizing shades  of  golden  tints.    K.  E. 


THE  GIANT  BURNING  BUSH. 

To  many  people  there  is  attached  to 
the  dictamnuses  an  air  of  mystery  be- 
cause of  the  peculiar  property  the  com 
mon  D.  fraxinella  has  of  emitting  a  kind 
of  inflammable  vapor,  which  will  b8rn 
if  a  light  is  applied  to  it  under  certain 
circumstances,  particularly  on  a  calm 
and  rather  dull  evening.  Apart  from 
this,  however,  the  dictamnuses  are  hand- 
some border  plants,  whose  distinct  mien 
and  flowers  give  it  a  peculiar  value  in 
the  border. 

Still  more  valuable  and  an  admirable 
plant  for  the  border,  is  the  giant  burn- 
ing bush,  Dictamnus  caucasicus,  or  D. 
giganteus,  a  species  not  at  all  plentiful 
in  gardens,  but  which  is  now,  says  a 
British  journal,  offered  in  seeds,  and  la 
thus  easily  procured,  although  the  seeds 
may  sometimes  be  a  little  slow  of  ger- 
minating unless  sown  as  soon  as  ripe. 
Compared  with  the  old  D.  fraxinella, 
which  has  changed  its  name,  by  the 
way,  and  should  now  be  D.  albus  var. 
rubra,  it  is  considerably  more  imposing 
by  reason  of  its  taller  stature  and  its 
larger  flowers.  Its  flowers  are  a  kind 
of  rosy  purple. 

The  dictamnuses  are  good  dry  weather 
plants  so  far  as  resistance  to  drought 
is  concerned,  sending  down  long,  thong- 
like   roots    which    draw    moisture    from

WOOD-LICE. 

In  an  interesting  lecture  on  ' '  Animal 
Pests  of  the  Garden,"  delivered  at  Bir- 
mingham, Walter  E.  Collinge  referred, 
among  other  things,  to  wood-lice,  which, 
lie  said,  are  not  insects,  but  members  of 
a  group  of  animals  known  as  Anthrop- 
oda,  so  called  because  they  had  jointed 
appendages  for  the  purpose  of  swim- 
ming, walking  and  feeding.  In  a  fossil 
form  they  are  known  from  ancient  times. 
Various  remedial  measures  were  alluded 
to,  the  two  most  efficacious  being  pois- 
oning by  means  of  poisoned  bait — e.  g., 
slices  of  potatoes  soaked  in  white  ar- 
senic or  Paris  green — and  trapping.  In 
conservatories,  greenhouses  and  potting 
sheds,  trapping  is  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful measures,  and  for  this  purpose 
little  heaps  of  wet  grass  or  leaves,  wet 
nooden  boards  6x12  inches,  or  plant 
pots  filled  with  wet  grass,  should  be  left 
on  the  floor  over  night  and  examined 
next  morning.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


APBIL  25,  1907. 


HOUGHTON,  MICH. 

The  Lakeside  Floral  Co.  has  been  or- 
ganized in  Houghton  and  April  17  held 
its  first  meeting.  The  company  has  taken 
over  all  of  the  property  formerly  owned 
by  what  was  known  as  the  Lutey  Floral 
Co.  and  later  as  the  Lutey  Greenhouses, 
and  which  went  into  bankruptcy  some 
two  years  ago.  The  capitalization  of 
the  new  organization  is  $25,000,  divided 
into  2,000  shares  issued  of  ten  dollars 
each,  and  treasury  stock  amounting  to 
$5,000,  Its  headquarters  will  be  in 
Houghton.  The  stockholders  and  oflScers 
are  Chas.  H.  Moss,  cashier  of  the  Citi- 
zens' National  Bank;  John  G.  Stone, 
one  of  the  leading  local  attorneys;  C,  V. 
Seeber,  wholesaler  and  vice-president  of 
the  Citizens'  Bank;  B,  F.  Chynoweth, 
capitalist,  and  A,  E.  Lutey. 

More  or  less  extensive  improvements 
are  contemplated  by  the  new .  organiza- 
tion and  work  on  them  will  probably  be- 
gin as  soon  as  the  weather  permits.  In 
the  first  place  the  capacity  of  the  green- 
houses at  Chassell  will  be  doubled,  and  a 
nursery  will  be  established.  For  this 
purpose  eighty  acres  located  there  make 
an  ideal  spot.  The  owners  have  a  splen- 
did slope  to  the  southeast  and  a  quarter 
of  a  mile  of  lake  front,  while  the  facili- 
ties for  shipping  by  rail  and  water  are 
unrivaled.  By  the  construction  of  a  dam 
at  an  advantageous  point  they  have  prac- 
tically built  a  reservoir  without  engi- 
neering advice,  and  this  secures  them  an 
excellent  pressure,  so  that  they  may  be 
said  to  now  own  their  own  water  power. 


MANCHESTER.  N.  H. 

Perhaps  the  person  to  suffer  the  great- 
est damage  by  the  terrific  gale  early  in 
April  Avas  A,  G.  Hood,  whose  green- 
houses are  situated  on  Hanover  street, 
not  far  from  Massabesic  lake, 

A  greenhouse  30x200  feet  was  de- 
stroyed and  all  the  plants  and  flowers 
contained  therein  were  rendered  value- 
less by  the  storm.  There  being  no  pro- 
tection for  it  in  any  way,  the  wind 
quickly  began  to  shatter  the  panes  of 
glass  and  soon  the  foundations,  both 
front  and  rear,  toppled  under.  Nearly 
all  the  glass  was  broken  and  the  green- 
house will  have  to  he  entirely  rebuilt. 
Panes  of  glass  in  the  other  houses  were 
also  broken,  but  they  were  less  exposed 
and  received  attention  in  time,  and  little 
damage  wa.s  caused  to  the  .stock  in  them. 


Davenport.  Ia. — Charles  W.  Wilder- 
muth  has  added  a  flower  department  to 
his  store. 

Wabash,  Tnd. — The  Conner-UIsh  Flo- 
ral Co.  is  purchasing  material  for  addi- 
tional houses,  which  will  be  erected  this 
summer. 


MABELLE 

raw  FINK  CARNATIOH  VOR  1007 

Color— A  peculiar  shade  of  lovely  pink,  with  a 
faint  yellowish  cast;  several  shades  lighter  than  the  Law- 
son.  Unlike  most  pinks,  the*  brightest  sun  does  not 
injure  the  color.  Slae— 3  to  4  inches  in  diameter  when 
established.  Odor  —  Pleasingr.  but  not  strong. 
8t«iiia— Invariably  strong,  but  always  graceful,  rang- 
ing from  13  to  30  inches  during  the  season.  Hablt« 
•t«.— A  very  quick,  active  grower,  making  specimen 
plants  in  a  short  time,  even  from  late  cuttings.  On  ac- 
count of  its  rapid  growth,  requires  supporting  very 
soon  after  benching.  Gets  a^^-ay  rapidly,  olooms  early 
and  gives  long  stems  ri^ht  from  the  start.  Prodaot- 
{▼•nets— Prodigious  is  the  best  word  we  know  of  to 
use  here.  It  is  the  most  incessant  bloomer,  early  and 
late,  we  have  ever  grown.  Stock  limited.  No  discount.

PITTSBURG. 


The  Market. 


There  is  still  some  complaint  about 
business  being  slow  and  the  weather  gets 
most  of  the  blame.  A  few  hours'  sun- 
shine, but  with  a  cold  wind,  some  rain 
and  on  last  Thursday  three  inches  of 
snow,  is  enough  to  affect  business. 

One  thing  is  certain;  it  has  affected 
stock.  Roses  have  shortened  up  so  that 
they  clean  up  at  fair  prices  every  day. 
Carnations  are  scarce,  not  enough  com- 
ing in  to  supply  the  demand.  There  is 
still  a  surplus  of  Beauties,  selling  at  low 
prices,  but  there  is  little  demand  for 
them,  except  on  the  street  stands.  Lilies 
are  quite  plentiful,  but  violets  have 
shortened  up  and  will  soon  be  things  of 
the  past. 

Greens  of  all  kinds  are  plentiful,  ex- 
cept smilax  and  ferns. 

Various  Notes. 

Edward  Eeid,  of  Philadelphia,  was 
looking  our  city  over  last  week. 

Miss  L.  L.  Lockhart,  of  Youngstown, 
O.,  was  a  visitor.  She  reports  business 
in  that  city  as  excellent. 

F.  H.  Kramer,  Washington,  D.  C,  sent 
a  bunch  of  his  new  rose,  Queen  Beatrice, 
to  the  Pittsburg  Cut  Flower  Co.  for  ex- 
hibition. They  received  them  Saturday 
and  Monday  they  were  in  fine  shape. 
They  occasioned  a  good  deal  of  favor- 
able comment,  on  account  of  their  keep- 
ing qualities,  their  good  stems  and  foli- 
age and  the  color  of  the  rose,  which  is 
a  beautiful  deep  pink,  showing  up  well 
when  open  under  the  electric  light.  The 
general  opinion  was  that  it  is  a  good 
thing  and  is  needed. 

J.  B.  Murdoch  &  Co.  are  receiving  a 
great  many  fancy  Beauties. 

M.  Bloy  is  now  foreman  for  the  Pitts- 
burg Rose  &  Carnation  Co. 

Joseph  Jones  is  a  victim  of  quinsy.

CALUMET,  MICH. 

Calumet  will  soon  have  a  new  green- 
house if  present  plans  of  the  Dale  broth- 
ers mature.  The  two  brothers,  James  H. 
and  Walter  Dale,  are  now  looking  over 
the  ground  and,  while  they  have  several 
sites  offered  them,  have  not  decided  ex- 
actly where  they  will  locate.  It  is  pos- 
sible that  Laurium  may  be  the  town 
where  they  will  build,  as  there  is  an  ex- 
cellent site  available  there. 

Dale  Bros,  expect  to  go  into  the  busi- 
ness with  the  purpose  of  making  their 
greenhouses  the  most  modern  in  the  cop- 
per country.  The  work  will  commence  on 
the  buildings  as  soon  as  the  snow  is  off 
the  ground  and  they  will  be  ready  for 
business  before  next  fall. 

Both  the  brothers  are  experienced  flo- 
rists. James  H.  Dale  is  now  in  the  em- 
ploy of  A.  M.  York,  of  Hancock.  He 
was  at  one  time  employed  with  A.  E.

GRAND  ISLAND.  NEB. 

Edward  Williams  and  S.  H.  Brewster 
have  dissolved  partnership,  Mr.  Williams 
buying  over  the  entire  stock,  valued  at 
$12,000.  Owing  to  ill  health  Mr.  Brew- 
ster was  forced  to  retire  from  the  busi- 
ness and  Mr.  Williams,  the  junior  part- 
ner of  the  firm,  will  take  full  charge.  The 
property  consists  of  a  half  block  almost 
covered  with  greenhouses,  on  North  Elm 
street,  and  about  two  other  blocks  on 
which  stock  plants  are  grown,  Mr.  Will- 
iams contemplates  making  a  number  of 
changes,  which,  however,  have  not  been 
definitely  decided  upon.  Mr.  Brewster 
has  not  decided  what  to  do,  but  thinks 
something  of  leaving  the  city.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


Apbil  25,  1907. 


SOUTH  BEND.  IND. 

A  business  deal  was  consummated 
April  19  by  which  the  business  of  Trea- 
nor  &  Eettic,  established  twenty-five 
years  ago,  comes  into  possession  of  the 
South  Bend  Floral  Co.,  the  firm  of 
Treanor  &  Eettic  dissolving  partnership. 
Mr.  Treanor  will  continue  with  the 
South  Bend  Floral  Co.  as  decorator  and 
store  manager,  while  Mr.  Eettic  will  con- 
duct the  greenhouses  in  the  rear  of 
North  Lafayette  street. 

The  South  Bend  Floral  Co.  was  or- 
ganized about  five  years  ago  with  Clem 
W.  Studebaker,  president;  William  K. 
Studebaker,  secretary;  Irving  Gingrich, 
treasurer  and  manager.  Walter  Topper 
is  manager  of  the  store.  They  have  four 
large  greenhouses,  covered  by  35,000 
square  feet  of  glass,  at  804  East  Dubail 
avenue,  and  at  present  oflBces  are  in  the 
basement  at  the  corner  of  Washington 
and  Main  streets.  Their  establishment 
is  one  of  the  most  modern  in  the  west. 

By  acquisition  of  the  Treanor  &  Eettic 
business  they  come  into  possession  of  the 
lease  on  a  storeroom  in  the  Oliver  hotel, 
where  they  will  remove  June  1. 


Fernandina,  Fla. — Gus.  Gottichlich  has 
started  in  the  business  here,  handling 
both  florists'  and  nursery  stock. 

Harrisburg,  Pa. — Charles  Uttley  is 
spending  a  week  in  New  York  for  the 
purpose  of  visiting  the  trade  there  and 
getting  the  latest  ideas  in  flower  work. 
He  has  made  a  specialty  of  designs  and 
decorations. 

Waterloo,  Ia.  —  The  lively  way  in 
which  the  spring  trade  is  opening  up 
has  convinced  Charles  Sherwood  that  he 
must  have  more  spacious  quarters  in  or- 
der to  handle  it  properly.  He  concluded 
negotiations  April  18  for  half  the  space 
in  the  building  at  303  East  Fourth  street. 

Union  City,  Pa. — Easter  trade  was 
good  and  business  has  been  generally 
satisfactory.  J.  K.  Postma  says  young 
carnations  were  all  planted  out  the  lat- 
ter part  of  March.  Fruit  and  truck  were 
bit  by  the  frost  Saturday  night,  April 
13,  and  the  water  was  covered  with  ice. 

New  Castle,  Ind. — The  extent  of  the 
mail  order  business  done  by  Heller  Bros., 
as  a  result  of  their  magazine  advertising, 
is  shown  by  the  fact  that  one  recent 
mail  brought  them  an  order  from  Daw- 
son, Alaska,  one  from  Nova  Scotia  and 
another  from  Chili.  The  Alaskan  gave 
explicit  directions  as  to  shipping  "so  the 
plants  would  reach  him  by  August  1. ' '

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


April  25,  1907. 


BALTIMORE. 


The  Market. 


The  weather  conditions  last  week  were 
extremely  bad ;  nearly  all  the  early  fruits 
were  destroyed  and  much  damage  was 
done  to  outdoor  plants.  All  the  outdoor 
work  is  at  a  standstill.  Our  growers  at 
this  time  of  the  year  usually  dispose  of 
a  large  number  of  potted  plants,  but  I 
regret  to  say  the  reverse  is  true  this  sea- 
son and  they  are  in  need  of  the  space 
that  the  plants  now  occupy.  Some  of 
the  carnation  growers  have  set  their 
stock  out  in  the  field.  One  reports  that 
he  lost  a  few  plants.  At  present  it  ia 
hard  to  tell  the  outcome,  but  according 
to  the  weather  man  there  is  likely  to  be 
an  improvement  soon,  the  old  prosperous 
times  will  return  and  all  the  boys  will 
wear  the  smile  that  won't  come  off. 

Business  conditions  last  week  were 
fair.  A  few  weddings  have  taken  place, 
which  made  a  call  for  decorations.  Fu- 
neral work  still  holds  out. 

Roses  and  carnations  are  coming  in 
heavy  enough  to  meet  the  demands. 
American  Beauties  are  abundant,  selling 
as  low  for  long-stemmed  buds  as  $6  a 
dozen.  Violets  are  offered  at  a  low 
figure,  while  there  is  a  bit  of  bulbous 
stock  on  the  market  moving  slowly. 
Greens  of  all  kinds  are  coming  a  little 
more  regularly. 

Various  Notes. 

Charles  Cook,  of  West  Mosher  street 
extended,  is  displaying  a  fine  collection 
of  hydrangeas. 

B.  StoU,  Brooklyn,  Md.,  reports  that 
Easter  week  he  cut  2,700  carnations  and 
last  week  he  cut  1,500.  He  had  quite  a 
quantity  of  bulbous  stock  for  Easter,  but 
considering  the  carnations  more  valuable, 
cast  his  bulbous  stock  aside. 

John  Donn  is  still  bringing  Easter 
stock  to  the  market,  but  it  moves  slowly. 

Quite  a  number  of  florists  are  growing 
vegetable  plants  this  year. 

J.  R.  Bland,  Catonsville,  Md.,  is  erect- 
ing a  small  house. 

George  Morrison,  gardener  at  Uplands, 
is  erecting  two  new  houses. 

The  wintry  weather  that  now  exists 
has  seriously  affected  the  counter  seed 
trade  and  the  nursery  business.

HEATING  SMALL  PLACES. 

In  a  previous  installment,  published 
April  18,  various  phases  of  hot  water 
systems  for  heating  greenhouses  were 
discussed.  The  hot  water  method  is  so 
much  to  be  commended  for  small  places 
that  we  will  take  up  the  consideration  of 
some  of  the  other  points: 

Expansion  Tank. 

The  expansion  tank  oonuected  with 
such  a  system  is  located  over  the  boiler 
above  the  highest  point  in  the  system. 
This  tank  is  connected  by  a  pipe  to  the 
return  main  and  also  to  the  water  sup- 
ply. It  is  equipped  with  a  glass  water 
column  and  an  overflow  pipe  leading  to 
some  outside  drainage.  The  object  of 
this  expansion  tank  is  to  prevent  the 
waste  of  water  by  overflow,  and  hence 
to  save  fuel  and  hot  water.  In  appara- 
tus of  this  description  water  heated,  say 
from  40  to  212  degrees  will  expand 
about  one-twentieth  of  its  volume,  and 
unless  an  open  expansion  tank  is  pro- 
vided the  waste  through  overflow  will  be 
considerable. 

Good  Greenhouse  Heater. 

A  good,  effective  boiler  for  green- 
house work  should  have  a  coal  area  of 
about  fifty  per  cent  larger  than  that  of 
the  grates,  which  is  essential  for  main- 
taining a  proper  temperature  during  the 
cold  winter  nights.  Anything  short  of 
this  amount  of  space  may  cause  trouble 
at  critical  moments.  The  firebox  should 
be  tinusually  deep  to  provide  ample  space 
for  good  combustion  of  the  gases,  and 
the  fire  channels  over  the  fireboxes  to 
the  boilers  should  incline  toward  the  fire, 
so  as  to  direct  the  heat  directly  against 
the  boiler  surface.  The  concentration  of 
the  fire  in  a  series  of  currents  thus  pro- 
duces more  force  than  if  scattered. 

The  firebox  should  pf  operly  be  con- . 
nected  with  the  smoke  pipe  so  that  no 
smoking  or  back-draft  can  follow.  By 
means  of  a  wide  U-shaped  flue  extend- 
ing a  considerable  distance  parallel  with 
the  boiler  a  good  part  of  the  escaping 
heat  is  utilized  in  heating  the  water. 

The  grates  should  be  of  ample  size 
and  designed  to  receive  and  hold  a  good 
bed  of  coals,  and  when  cleaned  be  sim-

FLORENCE  HEATERS 

When  most  push  nipple  boilers  need 
repairing,  you  have  to  take  the  whole 
boiler  apart;  you  do  not  have  to  do  this 
with  the  Florence  Heater,  as  each  sec- 
tion forms  its  own  base.  This  does  away 
with  the  "separate  base,"  and  enables 
you  in  making  a  repair  to  take  out  any 
one  section  desired,  and  simply  draw 
the  boiler  together  again,  with  but  a 
slight  loss  of  time  and  almost  no  trou- 
ble. 

Another  feature  of  the  Florence  is 
that  it  is  so  conservatively  rated  that  the 
difference  in  the  capacity  of  the  boiler 
when  running  under  this  condition  would 
scarcely  be  noticeable,  enabling  you  to 
get  along  until  repairs  arrive. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  Florence  Heat- 
ers, on  account  of  their  superior  con- 
struction, are  not  ordinarily  subject  to 
strains  in  the  weakest  point,  which  break 
so  many  heaters;  consequently  purchas- 
ers are  relieved  of  the  great  expense  for 
repairs  so  common  with  most  of  the 
present-day  heaters.

pie  of  operation.  The  loosening  and 
discharging  of  clinkers  without  any 
great  skill  is  an  important  consideration. 
Without  properly  designed  grates  the 
heater  never  will  give  satisfaction,  and 
all  the  improvements  made  in  other 
parts  of  the  plant  will  be  nullified. 

What  Makes  Circulation* 

The  application  of  the  principle  of 
hot  water  circulation  to  greenhouse  heat- 
ing is  due  to  its  adaptability.  In  in- 
stalling such  a  plant  it  must  be  remem- 
bered that  it  is  gravity  which  produces 
the  circulation  of  the  water  through  the 
system.  It  is  the  difference  in  the 
weight  between  ascending  and  descend- 
ing columns  of  water  in  the  perpendic-

One  of  the  most  effective  of  ferti-

in  the  manure  tanks.  The  raw  mater-

ular  flow  and  return  pipes.  "With  water 
at  its  greatest  density  at  39  degrees 
Fahrenheit,  the  volume  increases  and  the 
density  decreases  as  the  boiler  heats  it. 
This  means  that  the  heated  water  be- 
comes lighter.  As  it  becomes  heated 
and  lighter  in  the  boiler  through  expan- 
sion it  is  forced  through  the  boiler  out- 
lot  and  flow-pipes  to  the  radiating  coils 
hy  the  colder  water  descending  through 
fhe  return  pipes.  The  water  as  it  makes 
its  journey  imparts  its  heat  to  the  sur- 
rounding atmosphere  and  grows  heavier 
ill  weight  and  density.  By  the  time  it 
I'aches  the  boiler  again  it  is  suflSciently 
")ol  and  heavy  to  force  the  lighter 
"ater  up  through  the  same  circulation. 

To   secure   the   most  desirable   results 
'ith  such  a  system,  the  pipes  and  mains 

'lould  be  laid  out  with  as  few  sharp 
i-'dines  as  possible,  and  the  outlet 
-'lould  be  of  ample  size  and  placed  at

■ires  free  and  rapid  circulation  with

Vitis  Harryana  will  prove  one  of  the 
most    useful    plants    of    recent    introduc- 
tion,  says  a   writer  in  the  Horticultural 
Advertiser.     I  am  not  quite  sure  of  the 
botanical   distinction,   but    I   think  if  it 
had  been  named  ampelopsis  it  would  have 
been    more    descriptive    of    its    general 
habit,  for  it  so  closely  resembles  Ampe-

FLORENCE  HEATERS 

When  most  push  nipple  boilers  need 
rcpairinj;,  yon  have  to  take  the  whole 
boiler  apart;  yon  d(j  not  have  to  do  this 
with  the  Florence  Heater,  as  eacli  sec- 
tion forms  its  own  l)ase.  This  does  away 
with  the  "separate  base,"  and  enables 
yon  in  making  a  repair  to  take  out  any 
one  section  desired,  and  simply  draw 
the  boiler  together  again,  witii  but  a 
slight  loss  of  time  and  almost  no  trou- 
ble. 

Anothei  leatnre  <d  the  Florence  is 
that  it  is  so  conservatively  rated  that  tlie 
difference  in  the  ca))acity  of  the  boiler 
w  hen  running  under  this  condition  would 
scarcely  be  noticeable,  enabling  yon  to 
get  along  until  iej)airs  arrive. 

As  a  matter  of  fact.  Florence  Heat- 
ers, on  account  of  their  superior  con- 
struction, are  not  ordinarily  subject  to 
strains  in  the  weakest  point,  which  break 
so  many  beater>:  eonse(iuently  purchas- 
ers are  ndieved  of  the  great  expense  for 
repairs  so  common  with  most  of  the 
]>resent-(lay  heaters.

PULVERIZED  SHEEP  MANURE 

One  of  the  most  eiTective  of  ferti- 
lizers and  largely  used  by  the  best 
growers,  both  as  a  top  dressing  and 
in  the  manure  tanks.  The  raw  mater- 
ial for  Hunt's  Sheep  Manure  is  the 
droppings  taken  from  solid  lioor  sheep 
corrals.  Ordinary  manures  are 
largely  shoveled  up  from  the  ground 
and  contain  a  large  proportion  of  soil 
for  which  you  pay,  but  from  which 
you  «et  nothing  except  possibly  weed

WAYSIDE  NOTES. 

Dan  Murphy,  of  the  Doyle  Green- 
houses, Cambridge,  Mass.,  says  two  of 
the  best  sellers  at  Easter  were  Cleroden- 
dron  Balfouri  and  Bougainvillea  Sanderi- 
ana.  It  is  strange  that  these  showy 
plants  are  not  more  largely  grown,  for 
they  sell  at  sight,  and  the  demand  for 
pot  plants  being  on  the  increase,  one 
cannot  get  too  large  a  variety  of  salable 
kinds. 

Fred  Vetter,  at  the  Hoffman  place, 
at  Cambridge,  showed  the  writer  a  grand 
batch  of  cyclamens  in  3-inch  pots,  seed 
sown  last  August.  For  the  last  two 
seasons  his  plants  have  been  prize-win- 
ners at  the  spring  show  at  Boston,  caus- 
ing much  favorable  comment.  It  proves 
his  argument  in  favor  of  early  sowing. 
When  last  visiting  this  place  I  reported 
a  species  of  stem-rot  in  Easter  lilies. 
Strange  to  say,  it  appeared  in  a  few 
only,  the  remainder  being  perfectly 
healthy,  and  the  crop  came  in  just  at 
Easter. 

J.  M.  Ward,  of  Peabody,  Mass.,  and 
I  paid  a  visit  to  Welch  Bros.,  Boston, 
and  were  piloted  by  the  worthy  Patrick 
Welch  through  this  up-to-date  establish- 
ment and  the  order  and  system  appealed 
to  me  as  most  commendable.  First  impres- 
sions are  great,  and  one  of  the  most  nec- 
essary essentials  today  in  our  business  is 
system. 

The  popularity  of  the  azalea  seems  to 
be  as  strong  as  ever.  W.  W.  Edgar,  of 
Waverly,  Mass.,  had  grand  specimens  for 
Easter  and  every  one  sold.  There  is  a 
demand  for  plants  of  pyramidal  form, 
which  are  never  abundant. 

The  Sunday  closing  law  is  being 
strictly  enforced  in  Boston.  I  noticed 
the  auto  of  Thomas  Galvin  out  making 
a  special  delivery  on  Sunday  morning, 
but  it  almost  requires  a  permit  to  be  al- 
lowed to  look  in  the  store  windows  of 
the  Hub  just  now,  so  strict  are  the  blue 
laws.  Bayersdorfer  landed  here  today 
and  has  secured  three  sample  rooms  at 
the  Quincy  House  to  accommodate  the 
immense  line  of  samples.  W.  M.

TWIN  axiES. 


The  Market 


The  weather  has  been  favorable  to  the 
growers,  but  not  the  best  for  the  re- 
tailers, as  we  have  had  a  cold  north  wind 
blowing  and  customers  preferred  to  re- 
main indoors.  Saturday  it  warmed  up 
nicely  and,  as  the  rose  market  has  been 
glutted  all  week,  a  great  many  cheap 
sales  were  on.  About  every  dealer  had 
signs  on  his  window  offering  roses  at 
50  cents  per  dozen.  The  street  dealers 
also  were  much  in  evidence,  and  the  de- 
partment stores  were  offering  special  in- 
ducements. Carnations  are  not  any  too 
plentiful  and  on  that  account  prices  have 
kept  up.  Funeral  work  has  been  heavy, 
the  city  demand  being  especially  strong. 

Mlfmeapolis. 

Kalph  I^atham  has  had  a  good  busi- 
ness all  week.  The  sales  on  roses  by 
different  concerns  induced  him  to  lower 
prices  to  some  extent,  but  he  obtained 
fair  prices  on  everything. 

Amundson  &  Kerschner  turned  over 
considerable  stock  all  week.  Saturday 
the  demand  was  especially  strong  and 
the  results  for  the  week  they  report  as 
being  very  satisfactory. 

"Will  &  Son  are  cutting  some  fine  Rich- 
mond, Bride  and  Maid.  Their  carnations 
are  also  good  and  find  a  ready  market. 

Sunday  morning  trade  seems  to  cut 
quite  a  figure  with  practically  all  the 
stores. 

St  PauL 

The  Eamaley  Floral  Co.  has  something 
new  and  simple  in  the  way  of  a  wire 
loop  on  which  to  make  sprays.  With  it 
a  great  many  ferns  are  saved  and  it  is 
much  easier  to  make  a  shapely  spray. 

C.  F.  Vogt  had  a  banner  week,  the 
demand  being  confined  to  funeral  de- 
signs. Trade  since  Easter,  he  says,  has 
kept  up  well. 

Robert  C.  Seegar  has  filed  a  petition  in 
bankruptcy,  scheduling  assets  of  $175 
and  liabilities  of  $2,352.34. 

L.  L.  May  &  Co.  have  had  a  heavy 
wcd^  Funeral  designs  were  the  main 
issue; 

Holm  &  Olson  are  doing  a  big  busi- 
ness. .  Felix.

but  there's  a  lot  we  know  about  it  that  you  don't. 
Don't  know  because  your  business  is  growing  flowers— 
ours,  building  greenhouses.  For  just  this  reason,  when 
you  get  ready  to  build,  the  best  thing  you  can  do  is, 
write  us  or  call  at  our  Sales  Offices;  then  we  can  go 
over  the  matter  with  you  thoroughly  and  advise  what 
our  experience  has  proven  to  be  best.  We  want  to  take 
up  with  you  not  alone  the  matter  of  right  construction, 
but  also  that  important  question  of  economy  of  arrange- 
ment and  planning  for  your  houses,  future  additions. 
Write  today— or  call  any  day.

An  Argnmeot  Is  No  Good 

if  the  other  fellow  doesn't  believe  a  word  you  say.  Talk  is  cheap— as 
the  old  saying  goes— and  it's  just  about  true  when  it  comes  to  green- 
house material.  Every  firm  says  they  have  the  best  and  that  their 
material  is  the  only  kind  to  use— that  if  you  use  the  other  fellow's 
goods  you'll  be  sorry,  for  he  doesn't  know  anything  about  making 
greenhouses.  The  other  fellow  comes  back  and  says  everybody  else 
makes  shade  traps  but  him,  that  they  are  in  the  lumber  business  and 
never  knew  how  to  build  a  greenhouse.  How  much  of  all  this  talk  do 
you  believe?  Talk  IS  cheap,  but  we've  got  more  successful  florists  and 
growers  behind  our  statements  than  any  other  firm— they  are  satisfied 
customers  too. 

We  not  only  believe  in  advertising  in  this 
paper,  but  believe  in  advertising  with  our 
goods— the  quality  of  our  material  sells  it.

WE 

Believe 

Thorougfhly 

1  113,1     to     SSCy     to     you    that    "our    Greenhouse    Material   is  the 

Best,"  and  the  **  Only  Kind  Used  By  The  Best  Florists,"  doesn't  prove  anything.  The  fact  is 
that  such  a  statement  only  goes  to  prove  that  it  is  like  every  other  firm's  material  and  certainly 
that's  no  proof  for  your  buying  it.  Now,  when  a  man  says  to  you  that  he  furnishes  you  with 
the  very  best  Cypress,  sap  free,  and  all  that  sort  of  thing,  do  you  ask  him  how  many  feet  of 
this  he  has  air-drying  ?  Can  he  prove  to  you  that  not  a  stick  of  it  goes  into  your  greenhouse 
before  it  is  air-dried  fully  two  years?  Does  he  take  this  material  out  of  the  yard  of  a  lumber 
company  or  out  of  his  own  yard  ?  Will  the  lumber  yard  company  sort  the  stuff  out  for  him, 
discarding  all  sappy  piieces,  giving  him  the  cream  of  the  lot  ?  Do  you  really  believe  a  lumber 
company  does  business  that  way  ?  Now,  here  is  our  point,  we  control  large  tracts  of  lumber 
lands  in  the  South,  cut  all  our  own  wood,  ship  it  North  in  our  own  vessels,  and  always  have 
at  least  five  million  feet  air-drying.  Not  a  stick  of  this  wood  goes  into  your  house  before  it  has 
been  air-dried  for  two  years;  and  that  is  not  all,  every  piece  that  comes  to  the  mill  is  passed  on 
by^our  expert,  who  chalks  every  sappy  spot,  be  it  white  or  blue  sap.  All  sappy  parts  are 
then  sawed  out  and  burned  up*  Now  notice  the  words,  "burned  up."  We  do  not 
think  it  is  a  fair  deal  to  use  any  of  these  sappy  pieces  in  the  smaller  parts  of  ventilating  sash, 
or  out  of  sight  places.  You  get  just  as  good  wood  in  these  smaller  parts  as  you  do  in  the 
sashbars.

Aquatics. 

,0  of  the  most  delightful  features  of 
parks,  public  gardens  and  of  many 
,tc  estates  are  the  ponds  of  nym- 
s,  nelumbiums  and  other  aquatic 
IS.  Commercially  they  are  not  as 
1  grown  as  they  might  be,  but  many 
ilo)  ..-ts  are  asked  advice  as  to  their  treat- 
mi  '  and  not  infrequently  take  contracts 
to  i'lant  ponds  with  them.  It  will  soon 
be  time  to  set  out  the  hardier  nymphaeas. 
Wo  have  now  a  wonderful  variety  of 
th'^so  beautiful  aquatic  flowers,  due  in 
larye  measure  to  the  painstaking  labors 
of  M.  Marliac,  the  French  hybridist,  who 
by  crossing  the  common  English  water 
lily,  N.  odorata,  with  the  Cape  Cod  pink 
pond  lily,  N.  odorata  rosea,  and  the  Flor- 
ida variety,  N.  flava,  has  given  us  a  won- 
derful range  of  colors  in  this  regal  plant. 
Tonds  or  pools  for  the  culture  of 
aquatics  are  often  artificial,  in  which 
case  walls  of  masonry  or  concrete  and 
a  bottom  of  concrete  or  clay  puddled  to 
a  depth  of  six  or  eight  inches,  are  neces- 
sary. The  action  of  severe  frost  is  lia- 
ble to  cause  cracks  in  these  artificial 
pools,  which  it  may  be  necessary  each 
spring  to  repair.  The  water  should  be 
from  two  to  three  feet  deep  and  for 
compost  a  mixture  of  two-thirds  pasture 
sod  and  one-third  rotted  cow  manure  is 
suitable.  In  some  cases  boxes  four  feet 
square  and  a  foot  deep  are  used  to  hold 
this  compost,  which  should  carry  most 
varieties  two  years,  although  some  culti- 


vators prefer  to  plant  annually.  If  pos- 
sible, prepare  the  compost  some  time  be- 
fore it  is  needed  and  cover  with  a  layer 
of  two  inches  of  coarse  sand  after  plant- 
ing. 

It  would  be  well  to  bear  in  mind  that 
under  natural  conditions  nymphaeas  grow 
in  full  sunshine  and  they  should  not, 
therefore,  be  planted  near  overhanging 
trees.  It  should  also  be  remembered 
that  in  their  natural  state  they  have  rich, 
alluvial  mud  in  abundance  and  their  food 
must  not  be  stinted.  In  many  of  the 
concrete  creations  on  expensive  estates 
there  is  an  objection  to  having  the  water 
clouded.  The  idea  is  to  sit  and  watch 
the  gambols  of  the  carp  or  pickerel  in 
tho  pellucid  water,  but  aquatics  need 
more  than  clear  water  to  thrive  in  and 
if  an  abundance  of  rich  soil  is  not  pro- 
vided, poor  plants  will  be  the  result. 
Do  not  set  the  plants  too  closely.  They 
should  be  allowed  fifty  to  seventy-five 
square  feet  of  space  each. 

The  Best  Nymphaeas. 

The  hardy  varieties  of  nymphaea  can 
be  planted  early  in  May.  We  notice  that 
those  in  our  ponds  are  already  growing 
quite  a  little  in  spite  of  the  cold,  back- 
ward spring.  Here  are  a  few  of  the 
best  hardy  varieties,  which  can  be  left 
out  over  winter  if  the  roots  are  at  a 
sufl5cient  depth  to  be  clear  of  freezing: 
N.  odorata,  pure  white;  N.  odorata  rosea, 
pink,  commonly  called  the  Cape  Cod  pond 
lily;    N.   odorata   sulphurea,  yellow;    N. 


Marliacea  chromatella,  yellow;  N.  Mar- 
liacea  rosea,  pink;  N.  Marliacea  albida, 
white ;  N.  tuberosa,  white,  a  luxuriant 
grower,  needs  more  space  than  other  va- 
rieties; N.  Laydekeri  rosea,  rosy  pink, 
and  N.  Eobinsoniana,  another  hybrid  of 
M.  Latour-Marliac,  color  yellow,  overlaid 
with  reddish  purple. 

A  few  of  the  best  tender  sorts  to  plant 
are:  N.  Zanzibariensis,  dark  blue;  N. 
pulcherrima,  light  blue;  N.  dentata  and 
N.  dentata  magnifica,  pure  white;  N. 
Devoniensis,  red;  N.  rubra-rosea,  red; 
N.  Capensis,  sky  blue;  N.  Zanzibariensis 
rosea,  rosy  pink;  N.  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward, 
rosy  pink,  and  N.  O'Marana,  reddish 
pink.  As  some  of  the  tender  varieties 
are  night  bloomers  only,  in  purchasing  a 
selection  it  should  be  stated  whether 
night  or  day  blooming  sorts  are  wanted. 
Tender  varieties  should  not  be  set  out 
until  the  first  week  in  June,  when  the 
water  has  become  well  warmed,  and  must 
be  stored  in  winter  in  a  tank  of  moder- 
ately warm  water. 

Nelumbiums. 

The  nelumbiums,  or  lotuses,  are  noble 
aquatic  plants,  but  are  better  grown  in 
a  separate  pond  from  the  nymphaeas,  as 
they  grow  so  much  more  luxuriantly  and 
throw  their  foliage  and  flowers  a  con- 
siderable height  above  the  water.  They 
should  be  planted  about  the  middle  of 
May,  certainly  not  later  than  June  10. 
They  require  a  good  bed  of  rich  mud 
and,  while  they  may  not  grow  very  fast 
nor  bloom  much  the  first  year,  they  will 
increase  rapidly  and  flower  freely  in 
succeeding  years.  The  nelumbiums  are 
all  perfectly  hardy  in  our  northern 
states.  A  few  good  varieties  are:  N. 
speciosum,  Egyptian  lotus,  rose;  N. 
Pekinensis  rubrum,  .rosy  carmine;  N. 
luteum,  yellow;  N.  album  grandiflorum, 
white,  and  N.  kermesina,  pink. 

Other  Aquatics.

tion  to  nymphseas  and  nelumbiums  are: 
Cyperus  papyrus,  Egyptian  paper  plant; 
Limnocharis  Humboldtii,  water  poppy; 
Eichhornia  crassipes  major,  water  hya- 
cinth ;  Myriophyllum  proserpinacoides, 
parrot's  feather;  Aponogeton  distach- 
yum,  cape  pond  weed;  Pistia  Stratiotes, 
water  lettuce;  Pontederia  cordata,  pick- 
erel weed;  Sagittaria  Montevidensis, 
giant  arrowhead;  Limnocharis  Plumieri, 
Typha  latifolia,  the  well-known  cat-tail, 
and  Saururus  cernuus,  lizard's  tail. 

Hardening:  Off  Bedding  Stock. 

Some  attention  should  now  be  given 
to  the  gradual  hardening  off  of  many  of 
the  bedding  plants.  Too  little  attention 
is  generally  given  to  this,  with  the  con- 
sequence that  the  plants,  when  set  out, 
stand  still  for  a  long  time,  or  even  de- 
teriorate. It  means  a  little  more  work 
to  move  your  plants  around  into  cooler 
quarters  before  planting  them  outdoors, 
but  it  will  pay  you  to  do  it.  Geraniums, 
if  you  are  getting  crowded  for  room, 
will  now  do  well  in  frames.  So  will 
verbenas,  dianthus,  Drummond's  phlox, 
petunias,  ageratums  and  a  number  of 
other  sorts.  Coleus,  alternanthera,  Sal- 
via splendens,  heliotrope  and  other  ten- 
der plants  must  still  be  kept  in  the 
greenhouses.  Place  a  layer  of  coal 
ashes  to  set  the  pots  or  flats  on;  it 
keeps  worms  away.  See  that  the  sashes 
are  tight  and  be  sure  to  close  them  on 
cool   nights,   but   gradually  increase   the 


toothsome  chewing  for  the  cut-worms 
which  invariably  do  an  immense  amount 
of  damage  each  spring.  The  earliest 
asters  should  be  sufficiently  hardened  to 
plant  out  by  the  middle  of  the  month 
and  ten  weeks'  stocks  can  go  out  any 
time.  A  light  freezing  will  not  hurt 
them.  By  planting  out  the  hardier  sorts 
now  the  work  will  be  a  little  less 
strenuous  toward  the  end  of  May. 

Brief  Reminderi* 

A  second  sowing  of  sweet  peas  is  now 
seasonable.  Cover  the  seeds  to  the  depth 
of  three  inches.  The  early  sowings 
should  now  be  appearing  above  ground. 
Support  them  with  brush  or  wire  netting 
as  soon  as  possible  and  thin  out  if  they 
have  come  up  too  thickly. 

Narcissi  and  tulips  will  now  be  in 
bloom  in  the  open.  Take  note  of  desir- 
able bedding  sorts  for  future  use.  The 
public  parks  and  gardens  usually  have 
names  attached  and  it  will  pay  to  visit 
one  at  the  height  of  the  bulb  season. 

Evergreens  do  well  transplanted  dur- 
ing the  first  half  of  May.  Cool,  cloudy 
days  are  the  best  for  this  work,  but  we 
cannot  always  get  such.  Do  not  allow 
roots  to  be  planted  dry.  Mulch  after 
planting  and  a  syringing  overhead  will 
be  appreciated. 

If  you  have  forgotten  to  plant  out 
any  gladioli  in  the  rush  of  other  work, 
get  a  batch  out  at  once.

ventilation  until  on  warm  days  they  can 
be  fully  exposed.  Plants  treated  in 
this  way  will  do  much  better  than  if 
taken  right  outdoors  from  a  warm  green- 
house. 

Field  Planting. 

You  will  probably  have  your  young 
carnation  stock  in  frames  before  now, 
if  they  are  not  already  planted  out,  and 
your  violets  should  be  getting  hardened 
oflf.  Better  to  have  these  well  hardened, 
for    the    tender,    coddled    plants    make 


lings  are  more  fully  watered.  A  little 
carelessness  may  mean  a  serious  loss. 
Leave  night  ventilation  in  your  houses 
now,  if  nights  are  warm. 

Ericas,  such  as  melanthera,  gracilis 
and  caffra  densa,  can  be  plunged  or 
planted  outdoors  any  time  now.  They 
ought  to  have  been  pruned  back  some- 
what after  flowering. 

Keep  pansies,  myosotis,  daisies  and 
similar  spring  flowering  plants  fully  ex- 
posed now.  It  will  keep  them  stocky. 
As  they  like  an  abundance  of  water,  do 


not  allow  them  to  suffer  from  a  uu>,i 
of  it.  ''''^ 

Perennial  phlox  cuttings  put  in  .^j^ni 
will  root  freely  now  and  make  'u\^a 
plants  for  late  flowering.  Cuttings  TDot 
easily,  treated  the  same  as  chrysauthe- 
mums. 

Planting  of  perennials  should  be  ,  om- 
pleted  as  soon  as  possible,  unless  .  uick 
is  in  pots,  in  which  oftse  it  can  be  ca  ie^ 
on  for  some  time  yet. 

Plan  to  reserve  a  sufficient  stock  of 
all  bedding  plants  for  propagating  •  ur. 
poses  another  fall.  It  is  best  to  set 
them  on  one  side  and  mark  "not  for 
sale, "    or    "  sold. ' ' 

If  you  are  getting  crowded  again  in- 
doors,  pull  out  some  of  the  carna:  ^ns 
which  have  seen  their  best  days  nd 
utilize  the  space  for  other  plants. 

If  you  run  your  carnations  late,  ]  mt 
a  few  tomatoes  up  the  posts.  If  you 
cannot  sell  them  all,  you  can  prob  'oly 
use  them  at  home. 


EUPATORIUM  WEINMANNIAN  'M. 

Eupatoriums  and  their  near  relat-vos, 
the  hebecliniums,  are,  with  few  excjp- 
tiona,  natives  of  our  hemisphere.  Of 
the  several  hundred  species  known  to 
botanists  only  a  limited  number  mrrit 
horticultural  recognition.  They  are  eil  her 
summer-flowering  herbaceous  plants  or 
casual  inhabitants  of  greenhouse  or  con- 
servatory, where,  in  a  temperature  of 
50  to  55  degrees,  with  abundant  Jiglit 
and  water  given,  some  varieties  have 
proven  to  be  more  or  less  ornamental 
winter-flowering  pot  plants.  To  the  best 
type  of  the  latter  class  belongs  Eupa- 
torium "Weinmannianum,  a  native  of 
tropical  South  America. 

This  species  is  of  simple  culture.  Cut- 
tings strike  easily  in  spring.  They 
should  be  well  established  in  3-inch  pots 
in  May.  If  pot  culture  is  intended,  I 
would  advise  to  plant  now  five  to  six 
plants  together  in,  perhaps,  a  7-inch  size. 
Eupatoriums  are  gross  feeders  and  re- 
quire a  rich,  loamy  soil.  When  moviu{j 
them  outdoors  always  plunge  your  pots 
in  the  ground  to  prevent  the  soil  from 
drying  out  too  quickly.  On  hot  days 
water  freely  morning  and  night  and, 
after  your  plants  are  well  rooted,  give 
manure  water  once  a  week.  Thus  treat- 
ed they  should  be  specimen  plants  from 
one  and  a  half  to  two  feet  high  when, 
in  the  autumn,  time  for  housing  arrives. 

Eupatorium  Weinmannianum  also  docs 
well  when  planted  out  in  the  open 
ground  over  summer,  especially  the  kcc- 
ond  year.  The  bushes  should  be  «iit 
back  somewhat  right  after  flowering,  or 
when  moving  thera  outdoors.  On  a 
sunny  place,  during  the  growing  season 
they  need  plenty  of  moisture  and  fi"C- 
quent  cultivating.  If  taken  up  caio- 
fully  in  the  fall,  and  shaded  for  a  !<  w 
days  after  potting,  they  lose  hardly  a  y 
leaves. 

The  specimen  illustrated  was  a  t\  ••- 
year-old  plant,  which  had  been  gro  n 
in  the  open  ground  the  previous  si*  '■ 
mer.  It  was  flowering  in  the  grc  i- 
houses  of  Clay  Kemble,  Esq.,  in  La  • 
rock.  Pa.,  and  bore  its  blossoms  " 
through  the  months  of  December  a  ' 
January  without  showing  the  least  si  " 
of   fading. 

Eupatorium  Weinmannianum  is,  ^ 
course,  not  a  commercial  plant  in  t  o 
present  sense  of  the  word;  neither  r  -

BEGONIA  CAROLUS. 

T  ;,'onia  Carolus  is  a  new  and  im- 
pp  ;(l  form  of  the  well-known  Begonia 
jV;:  ,ii,  introduced  by  John  Feast,  of 
B,t:  more,  some  thirty  years  ago.  Caro- 
lus ;. looms  profusely  during  the  late  win- 
tci  ;  nd  early  spring  months,  with  large 
trii'^^fts  of  handsome,  daybreak  pink 
flo'.frs,  and  can  always  be  had  at  its 
prine  for  Easter,  be  it  early  or  late. 
Til''  leaves  are  undulated,  showing  the 
bri;,'lit  red  of  the  under  side  of  the  leaf 
ill  i)leasing  contrast  to  the  vivid  green 
of  the  upper  surface.  The  plants  are 
attractive,  not  only  when  in  flower  but 
vvlion  out  of  bloom  because  of  the 
foliage.  The  plant  is  tolerant  of  varying 
eoiiilitions,  but  does  best  in  a  tempera- 
ture of  56  degrees  to  60  degrees.  The 
illustration  is  from  a  photograph  of  a 
plant  in  an  8-inch  pot  made  the  latter 
part  of  March  at  the  establishment  of 
Michler  Bros.,  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  where 
the  variety  originated  and  was  named. 
Michler  Bros,  say  that  of  all  begonias 
they  find  this  the  easiest  to  propagate. 
Every  leaf  rooted  in  the  spring  makes 
a  salable  plant  for  the  following  au- 
tumn. They  are  working  up  a  large 
stock. 


FERTILIZERS. 


With  the  florist  and  market  gardener 
of  today  there  is  no  longer  any  question 
as  to  the  advisability  of  using  a  com- 
mercial fertilizer  in  addition  to  ordinary 
manure.  The  question  is,  what  kind  of  a 
fertilizer  is  the  best  and  most  economical 
to  uset 

The  varied  forms  of  plant  life  culti- 
vated by  the  up-to-date  grower  make 
the  need  of  a  well  balanced  general  fer- 
tilizer more  and  more  apparent.  The 
constant  research  of  our  chemists  has 
brought  to  light  in  our  generation  many 
sources  of  the  elements  of  nitrogen,  pot- 
ash and  phosphoric  acid  hitherto  un- 
known or  disregarded.  These  "fertil- 
izer element  vehicles"  are  at  the  dis- 
posal of  the  consumer  in  countless  num- 
bers, and  the  grower  finds  himself 
scratching  his  head  at  the  problem  pre- 
sented. 

A  very  common  and  thoughtless  course 
i>i  often  adopted  by  the  inexperienced 
grower  in  selecting  a  suitable  fertilizer. 
Too  often  the  flaring  and  loudly  de- 
c'vimed  analysis  is  considered  only  as  to 
li'^rcentages  of  nitrogen,  potash  or  phos- 
)'''Oric  acid  and  no  investigation  is  made 
ii    to  the  ingredients  contained. 

This  question  of  what  a  fertilizer  is 
< '  nposed  of  is  of  vital  importance  to 
*•  -  grower.  For  instance,  organic  forms 
^y'-  nitrogen,  such  as  leather  meal,  etc., 
''■ay  analyze  a  high  percentage  of  nitro- 
P'  n,  but  their  slow  decomposition  makes 
I'  em  nearly  worthless  to  the  grower  who 
'  ■  after  immediate  results. 

Nitrate  of  soda  and  sulphate  of  am- 
'  onia  remain  unequaled  as  a  source  of 
•'  ailable  nitrogen,  and  fertilizers  in 
^•aich  the  nitrogen  is  derived  from  these 


Begonia  Carolus. 


sources,  may  always  be  depended  upon 
and  will  always  stand  above  par  in  the 
mind  of  the  modern  grower. 

Sources  of  potash  are  more  infrequent. 
The  importation  of  potash  salts  has 
grown  to  such  proportions  that  other 
sources  of  potash  are  seldom  given  con- 
sideration. Sulphate  of  potash  is  gener- 
ally conceded  to  be  superior  to  muriate 
of  potash  on  account  of  the  presence  in 
muriate  of  potash  of  chlorides,  which  are 
injurious  to  some  plants. 

Sources  of  phosphoric  acid  are  always 
at  hand.  Perhaps  the  use  of  bones  as  a 
source  is  the  most  common.  Pure  bone 
meal  is  a  favorite  with  many  growers,  as 
besides  its  large  percentage  of  phos- 
phoric acid  it  also  contains  a  fair  quan- 
tity of  organic  nitrogen,  which  is  grad- 
ually assimilated  by  the  soil,  thus  adding 
to  its  value  in  preference  to  phosphate 
rock. 

Of  late  years  the  large  importations  of 
guano  have  placed  a  very  valuable  gen- 
eral utility  fertilizer  before  the  grower. 
Guano,  besides  containing  generous  pro- 
portions of  all  three  of  the  fertilizer  ele- 
ments, possesses  some  peculiar  chemical 
conditions  not  found  elsewhere.  The  dif- 
ferent grades  of  guano  are  all  found  to 
not  only  advance  quickly  to  a  complete 
resolution  to  the  fertilizer  elements,  but 
seem  to  impart  a  mellowness  and  bal- 
ance to  the  soil. 

We  would,  therefore,  conclude  that 
with  these  the  best  of  the  fertilizer  ele- 
ment sources  at  hand  as  standards, 
the  true  value  of  a  fertilizer  may  be  de- 


termined by  comparison  in  price  and  its 
percentage  of  available  elements  in  the 
best  form,  with  the  market  price  and 
form  of  those  fertilizer  sources  which  are 
standard. 

We  also  would  conclude  that  a  fer- 
tilizer composed  solely  of  these  standard 
fertilizer  sources,  without  the  addition 
of  anything  else  (unless  it  be  a  little 
gypsum  or  land  plaster  to  act  as  a  chem- 
icsd  reagent),  would  be  the  best  possi- 
ble general  forcing  fertilizer  for  the 
many  and  diversified  needs  of  the  mod- 
ern grower. 

When  all  is  said  and  done,  by  far  the 
most  important  factor  in  a  fertilizer  is 
that  it  shall,  as  far  as  possible,  build 
up  all  parts  of  the  plant.  Florists  or 
others  that  build  up  one  part  of  the 
plant  at  the  expense  of  the  others  soon 
have  a  lopsided  plant;  that  is,  not 
healthy  and  perfect,  more  liable  to  dis- 
ease and  never  of  any  permanent  vigor; 
whereas,  by  building  up  all  parts  of  the 
plant,  the  roots,  stems,  leaves,  flowers, 
fruit  and  seeds,  a  symmetrical  and 
thoroughly  healthy  plant,  full  of  life  and 
vigor,  is  obtained. 


TROUBLE  WITH  GERANIUMS. 

I  have  a  fine  lot  of  Geranium  John 
Doyle,  but  there  are  a  good  many  of 
them  that  are  dying  off.  The  foliage 
looks  healthy,  but  the  lower  leaves  have 
begun  to  get  yellow.  The  roots  are 
healthy-looking  and  the  soil  is  not  too 
wet  or  too  dry.     On   the  bottom  of  the

stem  they  are  turning  black  and  dying 
off.  Kindly  let  me  know  what  is  the 
cause  of  this.  I  never  had  it  happen  be- 
fore. They  are  all  good,  strong  plants 
and  I  keep  them  at  55  degrees  to  60  de- 
grees by  night  and  at  65  degrees  by 
day.  F.  B. 

The  temperature  named  should  suit 
geraniums  well.  The  rot  on  the  stem, 
commonly     termed    "damping    off,"    is 


generally  caused  by  too  much  moisture 
at  the  roots.  We  would  advise  keeping 
the  plants  dry  for  a  few  days,  to  harden 
the  stems,  and  this  should  tend  to  stop 
the  disease.  Do  not  shade  them  at  all, 
but  give  full  exposure  to  the  sun.  Spray 
overhead  once  or  twice  a  day  to  keep  the 
plants  from  shriveling,  but  allow  the  soil 
in  the  pots  to  get  quite  dry.  We  think 
a  few  days  of  this  treatment  will  remedy 
the  trouble.  C.  W. 


CHRYSANTHEMUM  NOTES- WEST. 


Prepariag  for  Planting. 

Chrysanthemum  growers  should  at  this 
time  have  their  space  on  the  benches  all 
figured  out.  That  is,  they  should  have 
reduced  to  writing,  exactly  the  number 
of  plants  they  will  require  for  their 
space.  It  should  be  figured  out  bench 
by  bench  and  then  the  grower  should  go 
over  his  stock  and  make  certain  that  he 
has  provided  the  necessary  number  of 
plants,  and  some  surplus  to  provide  for 
the  rejection  of  plants  which  are  not  in 
good  shape  at  the  time  for  benching. 

A  great  many  times  it  has  happened 
that  a  grower  would  find,  when  he  came 
to  planting  his  houses,  that  he  was  short 
of  the  required  number  of  good  plants 
for  filling  his  benches.  He  then  would 
change  his  mind  and  either  use  the  space 
for  some  catch  crop  or  let  it  go  with  less 
than  the  number  of  plants  he  had  in- 
tended to  grow  in  the  house.  In  either 
case  the  result  is  a  ^aste  of  space,  and 
space  is  money  to  the  greenhouse  owner. 

A  grower  may  be  short  of  stock  for  a 
variety  of  reasons.  He  may  have  been 
so  busy  that  he  neglected  the  important 
detail  of  propagating,  thinking  he  had 
plenty  of  time,  or  he  may  have  neglected 
his  old  stock,  allowing  them  to  grow  so 
long  that  he  really  got  the  second  batch 
of  cuttings  in  place  of  the  first.  Now, 
to  make  up  for  this  set-back  in  many 
cases  is  easy.  If  the  first  batch  of  cut- 
tings was  rooted,  potted  and  planted  out 
at  the  proper  time,  in  a  bench  of  good, 
rich  soil,  they  will  produce  a  fine  lot  of 
cuttings  from  now  till  the  end  of  June. 
Of  course,  the  early  and  dwarf  varieties, 
if  propagated  at  this  late  date,  will  be 
short  but  will  give  blooms  of  fair  size. 
The  mid-season  and  late  varieties  will 
produce  good  average  blooms  and 
straight  stems,  as  these  old  plants  grow 
ahead  and  do  not  make  the  crown  bud 
until  its  natural  time.  If  they  are  kept 
cool  they  can  be  had  late,  after  the  bulk 
of  the  chrysanthemum  crops  have  been 
marketed,  when  they  usually  bring  excel- 
lent prices. 

Care  must  now  be  taken  to  see  that  the 
young  stock  is  not  allowed  to  become 
too  tall  and  spindling.  If  the  stock  is 
now  in  2-inch  pots,  and  must  remain 
there  until  planting  time,  it  is  likely  to 
become  too  tall;  planting  time  may  be 
the  latter  part  of  May,  so  that  it  would 
be  better  to  give  the  plants  a  little  more 
space  one  way.  This  will  not  only  pre- 
vent their  drawing  up,  but  will  keep  the 
bottom  foliage  from  becoming  yellow 
and   help   to   keep   the   stock   free    from 


disease.  Light  and  air  are  essential  to 
chrysanthemums  at  all  times. 

I  prefer  to  use  2 1/^ -inch  pots  for  the 
young  stock.  These  can  be  placed  close 
together  and  will  stand  for  watering, 
spraying  and  syringing.  In  planting  I 
set  nearly  all  varieties  8x10  inches  or 
9x9  inches,  growing  one  flower  to  the 
plant  and  counting  on  getting  first-class 
blooms.  For  an  ordinarily  good  grade 
of  commercial  blooms  I  plant  8x10  and 
8x12  inches,  according  to  the  variety, 
and  grow  two  blooms  to  each  plant. 
Some  of  the  small-leaved  varieties  may 
be  planted  8x8  and  two  stems  carried  up. 

Now,  without  delay,  figure  out  ex- 
actly what  you  will  do  in  planting  your 
houses  of  chrysanthemums  and  see  that 
you  have  the  stock.  If  not  on  hand  pro- 
cure it,  either  by  propagation  or  pur- 
chase. The  growers  of  young  stock  of 
chrysanthemums  for  the  wholesale  trade 


report  a  large  demand  for  the  best  varie 
ties  and  it  may  not  be  possible  to  pj/ 
cure  what  you  want  a  few  weeks  late/

FOLIAGE  TURNING  RED. 

You  will  find  enclosed  with  this  ictter 
a  few  geranium  leaves  and,  as  you  will 
notice,  they  much  resemble  autumn  1-  uvea 
from  the  forest  trees.  The  plants  have 
been  quite  thrifty  and  of  good,  hodthv 
color  until  the  last  week,  when  the.-  be- 
gan to  turn  red  and  finally  to  dr ,-  up 
Some  of  the  plants  in  4-inch  pots  ,ave 
assumed  a  clubby  growth,  producing  reat 
quantity  of  leaves,  some  large  and  c-  lers 
smaller  and  much  curled  or  crim  Jed. 
Please  tell  me  the  cause  and  a  rf  edy 
for  same.  J.  B.   ., 

Either  the  plants  have  become  ;,ot- 
bound  and  are  in  rather  poor  soi  1  or 
they  have  been  allowed  to  dry  out,  too 
much,  perhaps  a  combination  of  the  wo. 
The  trouble  is  not  at  all  uncommon,  but 
is  not  serious  and  can  be  correctei!  by 
feeding  the  plants.  We  would  re- om- 
mend  watering  with  a  weak  solution  of 
nitrate  of  soda  or  sulphate  of  ammonia 
in  the  water  at  intervals  6f  five  to  six 
days  until  the  foliage  assumes  a  healtiiier 
hue.  Give  light  doses,  or  you  may  do 
harm.  Do  not  crowd  your  plants,  but 
give  them  space  in  which  to  grow.  "Wuter

A  KNICKERBOCKER  DECORATION. 

The  illustration  opposite  is  from 
a  photograph  of  a  dinner  table  decora- 
tion given  by  James  B.  Regan,  pro- 
prietor of  the  Hotel  Knickerbocker,  New 
York,  previous  to  his  sailing  for  Europe. 
Attached  to  the  ceiling  of  the  room  was 
a  huge  umbrella  frame  nine  feet  across. 
The  ribs  were  all  covered  with  smilax, 
275  strings  being  used  for  same.  Under- 
neath the  umbrella  were  used  over  5,000 
Narcissus  Golden  Spur.  The  outside 
edge  of  the  umbrella  was  trimmed  with 
long  strips  of  Asparagus  plumosus,  and 
the  supporting  ribs  covered  with  Rich- 
mond roses,  400  being  used,  and  about 
fifty  incandescent  lights,  the  same  color 
as  the  narcissi.  In  the  center  of  the 
table  was  a  miniature  lake,  about  twelve 
feet  long  and  four  wide,  banked  on  each 
side  with  thick  clumps  of  moss  and  hun- 
dreds of  fronds  of  Adiantum  Farley- 
ense.  In  this  lake  were  several  dozen 
fancy,  fan-tail  gold-fish  and  swans,  one 
of  the  latter  being  plainly  seen  in  the 
photograph.  At  this  dinner  the  cele- 
brated gold  service  of  the  Knickerbocker 
was  used,  and  this  feature  of  the  din- 


ner was  the  admiration  of  all  who  saw 
it.  The  entire  decoration  was  designed 
and  carried  out  under  the  management 
of  David  D.  Howells,  manager  of  the 
floral  department  in  the  hotel. 

The  illustration  does  not  do  credit  to 
the  decoration,  for  the  reason  that  Ihe 
photograph  was  a  poor  one.  The  pho- 
tographer evidently  was  more  or  less  of 
an  amateur,  for,  while  he  got  a  little 
something  of  what  was  on  the  table,  n" 
he  succeeded  in  getting  of  the  "\xva- 
brella,"  which  was  the  principal  feature 
of  the  decoration,  was  the  lights.

PEACHES  UNDER  GLASS. 

Kindly  advise  me  how  to  force  peaches 
under  glass.  I  have  just  planted  peach 
trees,  whicii  came  in  balls  in  8-inch  pots 
several  months  after  being  ordered. 

O.K. 

You  should  not  attempt  to  do  any 
forcing  this  year.  Let  the  plants  come 
away  of  their  own  accord,  but  after 
they  have  started  see  that  the  tempera- 
ture does  not  fall  below  40  degrees. 
Vour  efforts  for  this  season  should  be 
directed  towards  the  procuring  of  a 
clean,  healthy  growth  and  the  shaping  of 
your  trees.  They  should  be  well  pruned 
back  before  they  begin  to  move  and 
trained  into  whatever  shape  you  desire 
to  have  them,  according  as  they  grow. 

When  the  growths  have  attained  a 
length  of  about  one  inch,  you  will  have 
to  select  the  shoots  that  are  best  suited 
and  most  conveniently  placed  for  train- 
ing in  the  direction  you  desire  for  the 
shaping  of  your  trees,  and  rub  out  the 
buds  which  you  cannot  use.  Do  not 
make  the  mistake  of  leaving  too  many. 
Always  keep  in  mind  that  the  shoots  you 
'ay  in  this  season  will  later  on  be  the 
main  branches  of  your  trees.  Give  plenty 
of  air  night  and  day,  when  weather  will 
permit,  to  keep  your  foliage  strong  and 
your  growths  firm.  Give  plenty  of  water 
Hnd  syringe  your  trees  thoroughly,  at 
least  twice  a  week,  to  prevent  the  at- 
l^acks  of  red  spider  and  other  insects. 
Peach  trees  are  not  as  a  rule  hard  to 
keep  clean,  as  insects  are  not  apt  to 
trouble  them  if  the  trees  are  kept  in 
good  health,  but  careless  treatment  will 
bring  insect  pests  on  even  the  hardiest 
of  plants. 


Next  year  you  can  begin  forcing  any 
time  after  January  1,  according  to  the 
time  you  wish  to  have  the  fruit  ready. 
Beginning  about  January  1  the  fruit 
would  be  ready  on  the  earliest  varieties 
about  the  middle  of  May;  starting  about 
March  1  would  give  ripe  fruit  about 
June  20.  The  trees  should  be  pruned 
at  least  a  month  before  starting  and  the 
old  wood  should  get  a  good  washing 
with  a  solution^  of  whale-oil  soap,  or 
some  such  insecticide,  to  dislodge  any 
insects  that  may  be  hidden  away  in  the 
crevices  of  the  bark,  and  the  trees  tied 
into  shape.  The  shoots  should  never  be 
tied  across  one  another  and  should  be 
brought  out  as  straight  from  the  main 
branches  as  possible.  A  space  of  four 
inches  should  be  left  between  the  shoots, 
which  will  give  room  for  the  full  devel- 
opment of  the  foliage  without  crowding. 

After  starting,  the  trees  should  be 
syringed  lightly  every  morning  and  the 
floor  of  the  house  damped  down,  so  as  to 
keep  sufficient  moisture  in  the  atmos- 
phere to  assist  the  bursting  of  the  buds. 
The  temperature  should  not  exceed  40 
degrees  at  night  for  the  first  two  weeks; 
then  a  rise  of  5  degrees  may  be  allowed, 
but  it  should  in  no  case  be  allowed  to 
exceed  45  degrees  until  after  flowering 
is  over  and  the  fruit  set.  A  high  tem- 
perature is  certain  to  result  in  the  drop- 
ping of  the  buds  before  setting  takes 
place,  resulting  in  no  crop.  This  is  the 
point  where  the  greatest  number  of  fail- 
ures occur  in  the  growing  of  peaches 
under  glass.  At  first  the  day  tempera- 
ture should  not  exceed  jIS  degrees,  with 
air  on,  but  after  the  first  two  weeks  it 
may  be  allowed  to  rise  to  60  degrees. 
After  the  fruit  is  set  and  swelling  the 
temperature  should  be  gradually  raised 
to  60  degrees  at  night  and  75  degrees 
on  bright  days. 

Disbudding  requires  attention  as 
growth   advances   and    no    novice   should 


be  set  at  the  job;  it  requires  a  man  who 
knows  what  to  take  off  and  what  to 
leave.  Two  things  must  be  borne  in 
niin<l:  First,  to  leave  enough  growth  to 
provide  sufficient  foliage  for  the  healthy 
development  of  the  tree  and  fruit,  and, 
second,  to  provide  sufficient  wood  for 
next  year 's  crop,  as  the  fruit  is  all 
borne  on  the  young  growths  of  the  pre- 
vious year. 

Provision  should  be  made  for  young 
growths  to  take  the  place  of  the  old 
ones,  so  that  these  can  be  cut  out  next 
spring.  To  do  this,  a  good  strong  growth 
should  be  taken  away  from  as  near  the 
base  of  the  present  shoot  as  possible. 
By  base,  I  mean  that  point  where  the 
present  fruiting  shoot  branches  away 
from  the  larger  stem.  After  the  fruit 
has  been  thinned  out.  the  first  shoot  be- 
yond the  fruit  should  be  left  to  provide 
an  outlet  for  the  sap  and  insure  free  cir- 
culation to  the  fruit;  but,  unless  this 
shoot  is  needed  as  a  fruiting  shoot  for 
next  year,  it  can  be  pinched  after  it  has 
made  about  three  joints.  The  lateral 
shoots,  that  will  eventually  start  from 
where  the  shoot  was  pinched,  should  be 
stopped  at  the  first  joint,  and  so  on,  ac- 
cording as  the  laterals  are  produced.  The 
leading  or  point  growth  should  also  be 
left,  and  enough  along  the  branches  to 
provide  sufficient  foliage  to  furnish  the 
tree,  but  these  later  can  be  pinched  at 
the  second  or  third  joint  and  the  laterals 
pinched  as  they  appear.  All  shoots  not 
required  should  be  rubbed  out  after  the 
buds  are  well  started.  There  is  no  need 
to  let  them  attain  a  length  of  several 
inches  and  then  take  them  off;  this 
would  only  be  robbing  the  tree.  The 
time  to  take  them  is  just  as  soon  as  the 
necessary  shoots  can  be  selected.

stoning  they  can  safely  be  thinned  to 
the  proper  distance.  An  old  rule  was 
to  allow  one  j^each  for  every  square  foot 
of  tree.  But  .a  good,  healthy  tree  will 
carry  rather  more  than  this,  though  it 
should  not  exceed  it  very  much  if  first- 
class  fruit  is  desired. 

The  trees  can  be  syringed  up  to  the 
time  the  fruit  begins  to  color,  but  should 
be  discontinued  from  that  time  till  after 
the  fruit  is  picked,  when  an  occasional 
good  syringing  will  be  beneficial. 

The  results  of  next  year's  crop  depend 
largely  on  the  thorough  ripening  of  the 
wood;  so  careful  attention  should  be 
given   to    this    matter    towards    fall,    by 


keeping  on  the  dry  side  and  giving  all 
the  air  possible.  The  ventilators  should 
be  closed  only  in  the  event  of  a  sudden 
cold  spell,  lowering  the  temperature 
gradually  to  below  the  freezing  point. 
The  house  may  be  shut  down  on  very 
cold  nights  through  the  winter,  but  air 
should  be  admitted,  if  at  all  possible, 
through  the  day.  It  does  not  matter 
how  much  frost  they  get;  it  won't  do 
the  trees  any  harm,  only  freezing  and 
thawing  should  be  avoided  as  much  as 
possible.  So,  by  raising  the  ventilators 
before  the  thermometer  rises  to  the  freez- 
ing point,  a  more  even  temperature  can 
be  maintained.  W.  S.  Croydon. 


SEASONABLE  TREATMENT. 

The  plants  in  tho  bench  having  now  at- 
tained their  maximum  size,  and  the  soil 
in  the  bench  having  become  deficient  in 
some  of  the  elements  necessary  for  the 
support  and  ]»roi)er  <levelopment  of  the 
})uds,  wo  should,  if  we  wish  to  retain  the 
.size  and  quality  of  bloom  during  the  in- 
terval l)etween  now  and  j)Ianting  time, 
find  some  way  to  supply  these  elements 
and  administer  them  in  such  a  form  that 
the  plants  can  make  immediate  use  of  it. 
This  can  be  done  to  a  certain  extent  by 
giving  the  food  in  a  liquid  form,  as  in 
this  form  it  is  easily  assimilated. 

Unfortunately,  it  has  been  proved  be- 
yond a  doul)t  that  a  too  frequent  use  of 
food  in  this  form  is  at  any  season  very 
detrimental  to  the  health  of  the  plants 
and  also  reduces  the  quality  of  the 
1)looms.  ])articu]arly  if  they  are  entirely 
depenfjent  on  this  form  of  food. 

As  tho  warm  weather  approaches  and 
the  roots  become  more  active,  causing  a 
heavy  growth  of  wood,  there  should  at 
all  times  be  a  reserve  store  of  food  on 
hand  from  which  the  i)lants  can  derive  a 
continued  sustenance  and  so  be  enabled 
to  develop  good  woml.  foliage  and  bloom. 
To  protect,  encourage  and  feed  the  young 
roots  during  hot  weather,  a  mulch  con- 
taining the  necessary  elements  should  be 
applied.  To  be  of  immediate  use,  the 
material  should  be  in  a  concentrated  form 
and  of  sufficient  richness  to  maintain  the 
plant  during  the  remainder  of  tlie  sea- 
son. Well  decomj)osed  cow  manure  con- 
tains most  of  these  elements  and  in  their 
proper  proportions,  with  few  of  those 
caustic  elements  so  prevalent  in  many  of 
the  chemically  prepared  foods.  To  pre- 
vent the  manure  from  floating  during  the 
process  of  watering,  it  should  be  mixed 
with  one-third  of  its  bulk  of  good,  loamy 
soil,  and  to  each  bushel  of  this  compost 
sliould  be  added  one  and  one-half  pounds 
of  desiccated  bone  meal.     This  helps  ma- 


high-grade  blooms  during  the  season  of 
hot  weather,  when  nature  is  doing  iiej 
utmost  to  bring  about  maturity  in  a  hiu- 
ited  time.  Eibes. 


CAUSES  OF  BULL-HEADS.

terially  in  giving  strength  to  the  stems 
and  foliage  and  substance  and  color  to 
the  petals. 

At  this  season  mulch  can  be  given  in 
larger  quantities  than  at  any  other  time, 
one  and  one-half  inches  being  none  too 
thick  if  the  plants  are  robust  and  the 
compost  thoroughly  incorporated.  As  the 
manure  in  the  compost  will  absorb  and 
retain  the  moisture,  the  bench  may  often 
present  the  appearance  of  being  wet  when 
the  soil  beneath  the  muh'h  may  be  quite 
dry.  Frequent  examinations  should  be 
made  to  see  that  this  does  not  occur. 

A  light  top-dressing  of  wood  or  vege- 
table ashes,  which  contain  nearly  all  the 
elements  necessary  to  plant  life  in  the 
most  concentrated  form,  would  now  be  of 
great  benefit  in  building  up  the  tissues 
necessary  to  the  ])erfect  development  of 


The  causes  which  tend  to  induce  br 
heads  are  many  and  varied,  and  withi 
knowing    the    attending     conditions 
would  be  hard  to  ascribe  a  definite  car 

Some  of  the  causes  are:  Too  mi; 
manure  in  the  compost;  overfeeding  w. 
liquid  manure,  thus  producing  too  rani, 
growth  in  the  spring.  Atmospheric  ci. 
ditions  also  have  their  influence.  Clo> 
muggy  air,  by  fostering  a  soft,  spoil 
growth,  has  a  tendency  to  cause  bn 
heads  in  some  varieties.  These  and  ma 
other  conditions  having  the  same  tt 
dency  should  be  avoided,  especially 
spring.  RiBES.

IS  LAWSON  DETERIORATING? 

With  many  carnation  growers,  the 
burning  question  the  last  few  years  has 
l)een  "Is  Lawson  running  out?"  I  do 
not  think  it  is.  In  my  opinion,  the  only 
change  is   for  the  better. 

Lawson  of  course  has  some  bad 
faults:  First,  its  inclination  to  throw 
short  stems,  at  least  in  the  early  part 
of  the  season ;,  second,  it  has-  a  tendency 
to  come  off  color,  and,  third,  it  bursts 
the   calyx. 

All  of  these  faults  can  be  greatly 
modified,  if  not  entirely  eliminated,  by 
proper  cultural  methods  and  careful  and 
intelligent  selection.  Of  late  years  it 
has  been  proven  that  the  length  of  stem 
may  be  materially  imi)roved  by  growing 
under  glass  all  summer  instead  of  plant- 


ing in  the  field  for  a  part  of  the  season, 
'inis  may  be  either  by  shifting  them  on 
gradually  from  2-inch  pots  until  they 
finally  reach  the  4-inch  pots  or  by  plant- 
ing on  the  permanent  beds  during  the 
early  jiart  of  June.  This  method  is  ad- 
mirably adapted  to  the  requirements  ol 
all  the  varieties  of  Lawson,  in  so  far 
that  it  overcomes  the  short  stem  objec- 
tion. 

Lawson  is  prone  to  produce  many 
blooms  that  are  off  shade.  The  plants 
})roducing  these  flowers  should  not  b<' 
propagated  from.  The  most  careful 
man,  with  the  highest  degree  of  intel- 
ligence, is  none  too  good  to  take  the 
carnation  cuttings.  The  propagator 
must  avoid  taking  cuttings  from  any 
plant  that  is  deficient  in  length  of  stem, 
habit  of  growth,  in  vigor  of  constitu- 
tion, or  in  color,  or  form  of  flower.     H

^'i,,;|';ince  is  the  price  of  liberty.  Dur- 
jii  the  last  few  mouths,  I  have  seen

li;,.-  r  to  confess  that  I  have  yet  to  see 
il ,  variety  that  does  not  split  its  calyx 
t,    I  irreater  or  less  extent. 

"licre  is  a  great  difference  in  varieties 
in  iliis  tendency  to  split,  but  1  find  that 
ill  ]ilaces  where  the  smallest  percentage 
(it  splits  is  found,  the  greatest  diligence 
is  ((bserved  in  obtaining  an  even  tem- 
linatiirp,  and  at  a  degree  best  suited  to

l';norable  conditions,  do  so  badly,  and

will,  under  favorable  conditions,  have 
rjic  splitting  reduced.

Avill  not  surpass  Lawson  in  the  number 
of  good  blooms,  day  by  day,  for  a  pe- 
riod of,  say,  eight  months. 

In  my  humble  opinion,  Lawson  is  not 
(lead  yet.  A  large  number  that  were 
liorn  into  the  carnation  world  after  Mrs. 
fiawson,  have  died  a  natural  death, 
wliereas  the  latter,.  I  find,  is  still  sawing 
wood  at  most  of  the  old  stands.  In  the

a  variety,  or  possibly  a  number,  that  will

mulas within  recent  years,  the  fine  Pri- 
mula Cockburniana,  has  been  the  object 
of  much  admiration  and  curiosity  since 
its  introduction  by  Veitch  &  Sons,  of 
<'hol8ea,  England.  Although  it  has  been 
frequently  noticed  in  the  gardening  press 

•  hiring  the  last  year,  it  has  not  been 
much  cultivated  as  yet,  and  a  few  notes 
upon  it  may  be  of  interest. 

The  most  striking  feature  of  Primula 
<  ockburniana  is  the  color  of  its  flowers, 
Mhich  open  a  brilliant  scarlet,  and  grad- 
'lally  pass  off  to  an  orange-scarlet,  some- 
wiiat  of  the  shade  of  that  old-fashioned 
jilant,  Hieracium  aurantiacum.  It  has 
fair-sized  heads  of  bloom,  and  the  color 
"f  the  blooms  seems  even  enhanced  by 
'lie  mealy  stems.  The  plants  seen  were 
from  nine  inches  to  a  foot  in  height. 

Unfortunately,  this  distinct  primula, 
^\liich  has  no  rival  in  its  own  color,  has 
"ne  grave  defect  iu  the  eyes  of  many. 

I  liis  is  its  biennial  character,  and  it 
•liould  thus  be  sown  annually  if  a  stock 
•^  to  be  maintained.  Seeds  germinate 
''reely  enough  if  sown  under  glass.  The 
"("edlings  should  be  pricked  out  in  good 

inie  and  not  planted  out  until  the  fol- 

•  owing  spring.  It  seems  to  prefer  a 
I'ather  moist  position.  A  good  group  is 
^  spectacle  one  rarely  finds  equalled 
among  flowers  of  its  kind.  It  is  quite 
■■ure  to  take  a  place  among  our  useful 
plants. 


Clematis  PanicuUtat  a  Favorite  ^Porch  CItmber.'' 


THE  CLEMATIS. 

Although  the  clematis  more  properly 
belongs  in  the  domain  of  the  nurseryman 
than  in  that  of  the  florist,  we  are  con- 
tinually asked  to  supply  plants  of  sev- 
eral varieties  of  these  free  flowering, 
hardy  climbers. 

Some  are  readily  increased  by  cuttings. 
The  paniculata  type  root  freely  from 
pieces  of  the  young  growth,  and  there  is 
no  better  place  than  the  gentle  heat  of 
a  hotbed.  They  all  are,  however,  bought 
very  cheaply  from  the  nurseryman.  The 
large  flowered  Jackmanii  type  are  usu- 
ally grafted  on  the  roots  of  C.  flammula, 
the  common  European,  or  the  root  of  any 
strong  growing  variety.  The  florist  buys 
his  clematis  and  is  more  interested 
in  knowing  how  to  make  them  grow  satis- 
factorily than  how  to  propagate  them. 
Very  strong  plants  of  Jackmanii  and 
other  large-flowering  varieties  are  im- 
ported every  fall,  arriving  here  early  in 
November  or  perhaps  a  little  earlier.  We 
spread  out  the  roots  and  lay  them  in 
trenches  in  the  coldframe  during  winter 
and  in  severe  weather  cover  with  glass, 
removing  it  before  forced  by  the  suns 
of  March.  We  believe  they  are  more 
satisfactory  to  our  customers  planted 
this  way  than  potted  and  given  any 
time  in  the  greenhouse.  The  potted 
plants  look  well  when  sold,  but  are  more 
liable  to  suffer  from  neglect  after  plant- 
ing. Strong  plants  have  such  a  mass  of 
roots  that  it  is  impossible  to  spread  them 
suflBciently  for  all  to  get  earth  around 
them,  so  we  cut  out  about  half  the  roots, 
which  enables  us  to  get  some  soil  among 
them. 

You  dare  not  guarantee  the  clematis. 
If  you  do  you  will  have  to  make  good 
many  losses.  But  you  can  plant  them 
with  care  and  give  good  advice  as  to  the 
attention  they  need.  They  are  nearly  al- 
ways planted  against  a  veranda,  whose 
overhanging  roof  often  keeps  the  rain 
away,  or  they  may  be  on  the  side  of  the 
house,  or  an  aspect  where  rains  are  infre- 
quent. They  should  during  summer  re- 
ceive copious  waterings.  William  Scott 
has  said  that  when  planting  out  each 
clematis  should  receive  a  barrow  load  of 
good,   rich   soil   and    not   be   put   into  a 


small  hole  and  have  clay  or  brickbats 
to  feed  on,  which  is  often  the  result  of 
the  grading  and  sodding  that  is  done 
around  a  pretty  house. 

In  milder  countries  the  gorgeous  Jack- 
manii and  its  kindred  varieties  may  re- 
tain their  stems  through  the  winter;  in 
the  rigorous  northern  winters  they  do 
not,  but  when  well  established  the  roots 
have  such  vigor  that  the  young  shoots 
spring  from  the  ground  in  a  few  weeks, 
and  by  the  end  of  *June  are  a  gorgeous 
mass  of  bloom  seven,  eight  and  nine  feet 
high,  and  five  or  six  feet  across.  All 
these  flower  from  the  growth  of  the  same 
year. 

There  are  many  species  and  varieties  of 
clematis  and  some  of  them  are  very  dis- 
tinct. A  few  of  them  are  natives  of 
North  America  and  make  splendid  plants 
for  covering  fences,  railings,  etc.  C.  pan- 
iculata is  very  hardy  and  is  the  one  most 
largely  used.  It  is  shown  in  the  accom- 
panying illustration  and  is  covered  from 
July  on  with  its  white,  finely  divided 
flowers,  ro.scmbling  almost  balls  of  cot- 
ton. 


ARAUCARIAS. 


I  would  be  pleased  if  you  could  give 
me  any  information  how  to  -  propagate 
Araucaria  excelsa.  Is  there  any  remedy 
for  the 'white  fly?  If  there  is,  jdease  Jet 
us  know.  B.  Ij. 

Araucaria  excelsa  is  readily  raised 
from  seeds,  but  seedlings  never  make  as 
fine  jdants  as  those  grown  from  cuttings. 
These  are  ])ropagated  from  the  leading 
shoots  of  the  tops  and  branches  inserted 
in  sand  and  covered  with  a  hand-glass 
or  frame  until  rooted.  But  it  doesn't 
j)ay  to  ])ropagate  araucarias  in  this 
country ;  let  the  Belgian  do  that ;  he  can 
sell  them  f^o  cheaply  that  greenhouse 
space  is  better  used  for  other  purposes. 

As  to  the  white  fly,  for  the  methods  of 
extermination,  see  page  1676  of  the  issue 
of  April  18. 

South  Bend,  Ind. — Kinyon  Bros,  have 
contracted  for  the  building  of  two  new 
greenhouses,  each  35x65  feet,  to  be  de- 
voted to  carnations  and  roses.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


May  2,  1907. 


CAPE  JASMINE. 

The  report  from  south  Texas  is  to  the 
effect  that  the  annual  crop  of  cape  jas- 
mine promises  to  be  earlier  than  usual. 
Indeed,  a  few  small  shipments  already 
have  been  sent  north  and  considerable 
quantities  will  be  moving  within  the  next 
few  days. 

The  season  in  Texas  has  been  a  favor- 
able one  for  this  crop  and  it  is  the  gen- 
eral report  that  quality  will  be  of  the 
best.  The  warm  weather  in  April  gave 
the  plants  an  early  start  and  the  cold, 
which  has  checked  all  outdoor  vegetation 
in.  the  north,  has  not  injured  the  jas- 
mines. It  is  expected  that  the  supply 
will  hold  all  through  May  and  that  the 
season  will  wind  up  with  Memorial  day, 
instead  of  being  only  just  at  the  begin- 
ning, as  it  has  been  in  some  more  back- 
ward  seasons, 

C.  W.  Benson  states  that  the  general 
special  rate  now  applies  to  jasmine  ship- 
ments from  Alvin.  This  is  twenty  per 
cent  less  than  merchandise  rate  and 
pound  rates  apply.  The  shippers  from 
Alvin  all  are  looking  for  a  large  season. 


NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 


At  last  we  have  seasonable  weather; 
even  oiu  Dr,  Humidity  called  on  Mon- 
day, The  grass,  and  buds,  and  leaves 
have  been  ready  for  business  two  weeks, 
but  were  held  up  by  the  unseasonable 
cold.  Even  last  week  it  was  only  by 
fits  and  starts  that  any  real  enthusiasm 
was  created.  Now  all  nature  smiles. 
The  magnolias  and  forsythias  are  in 
bloom;  the  leaves  are  opening  hourly. 
Before  this  paper  reaches  its  readers  it 
will  be  a  new  world  we  live  in,  and  we 
<leserve  it.  March  and  April  have  been 
depressing.  No  one  can  remember  a 
season  so  disagreeable  as  the  one  just 
buried.  There  have  been  no  tears  at 
the  obsequies.  No  wonder  Fischer  and 
liis  freesias  have  gone  to  California, 
The  weather  there  won't  "freesia. " 
Another  winter  like  this  and  we  will  all 
want  to  emigrate  thither. 

Now  come  the  busy  days  of  planting 
and  the  crowded  shipments  of  the  nur- 
serymen. The  big  stores,  too,  with  their 
thousands  of  hardy  roses  and  shrubs  to 
dispose  of,  will  have  to  work  day  and 
night  in  their  deliveries.  Trepel,  and 
Weir,  and  Burnham,  and  the  other  de- 
partmentalists,  will  need  more  pranc- 
ing teams  to  meet  the  demand.  Every- 
where prosperity  abounds.  Real  estate 
is  rising  in  value  daily.  The  love  for 
country  life,  and  all  it  means  to  horti- 
culture, is  fostered  as  never  before  and 
the  old  saying  that  the  business  in  this 
country  is  "only  in  its  infancy"  is 
more  and  more  apparent  as  the  seasons 
recur  and  the  enormous  demand  for  the 
nurseryman 's  productions  manifests 
itself. 

In  the  wholesale  cut  flower  market, 
roses  are  growing  more  abundant  daily. 
Beauties  and  all  the  rest  of  them  ac- 
cepted the  usual  May  values  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  week,  with  no  special 
demand.  Fifteen  cents  was  top,  with 
12  and  10  cents  quite  possible  before  the 
week  is  over.  Maids  and  Brides  sold 
well  at  5  cents  for  selected  stock,  but 
boxes  were  closed  as  low  as  2  cents  and 
3  cents  where  large  purchases  were 
made.  The  general  expectation  is  for 
the  usual  average  at  this  season  of  the 
year. 

The  cold  weather  has  delayed  the  ex- 


pected shipments  of  southern  lilac. 
Sweet  peas  have  been  arriving  in  large 
quantities.  Carnations  hold  well,  the 
splendid  novelties  never  grading  better 
than  now,  easily  commanding  3  cents  to 
4  cents,  and  worth  it.  Still  a  few  boxes 
of  so-called  violets  come  down  the  river, 
but  the  retail  stores  do  not  want  them, 
nor  does  the  public,  nor  the  merchants 
du  pave,  which  means  the  Grecian  mer- 
cantile contingent. 

Orchids  hold  their  price  firmly  and 
there  are  none  too  many  of  them.  Now 
that  the  May  weddings  are  on  they  will 
all  be  needed  here.  Outside  cities  would 
do  well  to  anticipate  this  and  book  their 
orders   Mell   ahead.     Retailers   have   had 


I  enclose  my  check  for  $2.60  to  pay 
for  the  small  advertisement  in 


and  would  like  to  say  that  this  is  one 
of  the  most  satisfactory  investments  I 
ever  made.

some  notable  weddings  already,  and 
many  bookings,  they  tell  me,  for  May 
and  June. 

Various  Notes. 

Donohoe  opens  his  new  store  at  17 
East  Twenty-eighth  street  June  1.  It 
will  be  large,  up-to-date  and  quite  in 
keeping  with  the  bon-ton  section  of  the 
city.  One  cannot  afford  now  to  open  a 
store  anywhere  in  the  metropolis  that  is 
not  elegant  in  all  its  appointments.  The 
other  kind  soon  go  out  of  business,  leav- 
ing unpaid  bills  and  unsavory  reputa- 
tions. There  have  been  some  closings 
lately  that  are  no  credit  to  retail  flori- 
culture in  New  York, 

May  12  the  New  York  Florists'  Club 
will  meet  again.  Plant  exhibits  are  re- 
quested. Illustrations  of  Decoration  day 
novelties  will  be  welcome.  Great  prepa- 
rations are  being  made  by  the  growers 
in  this  section  for  the  holiday.  The  re- 
tail windows  now  are  full  of  hydran- 
geas and  spring  flowers, 

J,  A.  Peterson,  of  Cincinnati,  was  in 
the  city  April  29  and  had  on  exhibition 
in  Traendly  &  Schenck's  windows  some 
fine  specimens  of  Pandanus  Veitchii, 
Begonia  Agatha  and  Hydrangea  Otaksa, 
He  finds  the  New  York  market  always 
open  for  his  perfect  specimens,  Mr, 
Peterson  left  for  the  Jamestown  exhi- 
bition on  Tuesday  and  has  made  a  large 
shipment  of  his  stock  there, 

Carl  Jurgens,  Jr.,  and  wife,  of  New- 
port, were  in  New  York  April  29  on 
their  way  to  Jamestown,  It  is  early 
yet  for  a  visit  to  the  world's  fair,  but 
there    will    be    steady    travel    later    on, 


from  New  York  by  train  and  boat,  aiui 
it  is  intimated  a  fare  of  $5  will  pi(.. 
vail.  Doubtless  hundreds  of  the  florists 
who  attend  the  meeting  of  the  S,  A.  F 
at  Philadelphia  will  make  the  fair  a 
part  of  their  summer  holiday. 

Already  the  popularity  of  the  wm- 
dow-boxes  is  in  evidence  in  the  stre,  ts 
of  New  York,  Hardly  a  house  in  !i,o 
first-class  residence  district  is  with'  nt 
them,  and  tne  hotels  everywhere  ;re 
more  profuse  than  ever  in  plant,  i,  id 
flower,  and  bay  tree  decoration.  As  au 
illustration  of  the  universality  of  he 
custom,  the  veteran  James  Hart  ii :» 
eight  big  hotels  on  his  list,  the  e.  lo 
of  the  plants  and  their  renewal  belx' 
contracted  for  by  the  season.  Every  . 
tailer  of  importance  has  his  quiver  i  i 
of  these  orders  and  no  hotel  worthy  >f 
tlie  name  is  now  remiss  in  this  much  i- 
be-commended  courtesy  to  Dame  Natu  • . 
Some  of  the  inside  decorations  of  i  ,e 
hotels  are  most  elaborate.  Enormnis 
palms  are  used  and  bay  trees  seem  ^o 
lose  none  of  their  popularity,  Tl.e 
great  importers  of  these  handsome  trci  ■;, 
Bobbink  &  Atkins,  the  Julius  Eoeliis 
Co.,  Schultheis,  Siebrecht  and  many 
others,  are  worthy  of  great  commenda- 
tion in  the  patient,  persistent  creatimi 
of  demand  which  they,  by  years  nf 
effort,  have  at  last  popularized. 

The  great  dailies  of  the  metropolitan 
press  are  catering  to  the  popular  desire 
for  information  on  horticultural  sul) 
jects  and,  while  their  purpose  is  honest 
and  unselfish,  they  sadly  need  a  John  F. 
Sullivan  to  censor  their  articles  befoii' 
sending  them  out  to  a  hungry  and  en- 
quiring world. 

After  a  strenuous  season  the  whole- 
salers, some  of  them,  are  taking  a  much 
needed  resting  spell  in  the  afternoons, 
either  visiting  their  growers  or  looking; 
after  their  greenhouses.  By  the  by,  tlio 
baseball  season  has  opened  and  the 
ponies  are   running  at  Jamaica, 

The  plantsmen,  who  have  conserva- 
tories on  Twenty-ninth  street,  have  hail 
a  busy  spring.  Many  of  the  retailers 
depend  on  these  excellent  sources  of 
supply  and  do  not  visit  the  early  plant 
market  at  all, 

Walter  Mott,  of  the  Bobbink  &  At 
kins'  staff,  was  in  the  city  Sunday,  after 
one  of  his  successful  eastern  trips,  ami 
full  of  enthusiasm  as  to  th'e  outlook.  His 
renewal  of  old  friendships  by  travel 
after  years  of  seclusion  in  Jamestown 
has  added  to  his  health  and  avoirdupois. 

Thirtieth  street  has  about  decided  t<> 
retire  from  the  floricultural  field.  Sev- 
eral of  the  faces  in  evidence  there  this 
winter  have  vanished. 

L.  B,  Coddington's  rose  output  is  si 
daily  feature  at  Horace  E,  Froment's 
wholesale  depot,  in  addition  to  the  stock 
of  a  host  of  other  growers  that  kee]' 
the  big  store  in  a  foment  most  of  the 
time. 

Reed  &  Keller  are  making  extensive 
preparations  for  Decoration  day,  theii 
new  inventions  as  usual  being  already 
in  demand, 

Igoe  Bros.,  over  in  Brooklyn,  noM 
occupy  their  immense  new  factory,  where 
they  have  one  of  the  most  complete  wire 
establishments  in  America.  They  utilize 
three  floors  of  the  great  building, 

Henry  R.  Crawbuck  has  a  monopoly 
of  the  green  goods  business  in  Brooklyn 
and  deserves  it. 

Out  on  Flushing  avenue,  Brooklyn, 
Jacobs  &  Sons  are  just  completing  their 
splendid  three  story  warehouse  for 
greenhouse  material,  a  convenience  that

The  Market. 

The  continued  cool  weather  prevents 
flie  market  from  becoming  overburdened 
with  stock  and  prices  have  remained  fair- 
ly good  the  last  week,  with  steady  trade. 
American  Beauty  roses  are  quite  abun- 
dant, the  best  making  $25  per  hundred. 
Other  roses  are  quite  plentiful  and  the 
i|iiality,  owing  to  the  absence  of  hot 
waves,  remains  better  than  usual.  Carna- 
tions also  continue  good  and  bring  about 
the  same  prices  as  a  week  ago.  Violets 
are  practically  over,  although  a  few  dou- 
liles  are  still  to  be  seen.  Sweet  peas 
make  50  cents  to  75  cents  per  hundred 
and  are  still  very  good.  Liliums  and  cal- 
las  are  abundant  and  a  little  lower  in 
lirice.  A  few  outdoor  Yellow  Trumpet 
narcissi  made  their  appearance  this  week. 
There  are  still  quite  a  few  indoor  ones 
arriving.  Some  good  Spanish  iris  is 
seen,  from  several  growers,  and  sells 
fairly  well. 

Gladioli  are  arriving  of  good  quality 
and  make  fine  prices.  Ten  weeks'  stock 
<loes  not  sell  very  well  and  there  are 
more  antirrhinums  than  the  market  needs. 
In  green  stuff  there  is  no  great  change. 
The  new  arrivals  of  hardy  green  ferns 
are  appearing  and  will  relieve  the  scar- 
<'ity  prevailing  in  this  line  for  some  time 
past. 

Various  Notes. 

Joseph  F.  Free,  manager  at  the  Park 
Street  Flower  Market,  has  sent  in  his 
'  esignation,  to  take  effect  March  15.  He 
'vill  act  as  salesman  at  the  same  market 
'or  several  growers. 

Among  the  many  elioice  flowers  seen 
U  the  recent  club  banquet,  some  magnifi- 
•  ent.  yellow  antirrhinums,  from  William 
■^wan,  attracted  much  attention. 

At  the  same  banquet  it  was  good  to  see 

ome  of  the  veterans  "tripping  the  light 

fantastic"  with  gusto.     William    Miller 

n   the   Highland   schottische   and  R.   T. 

\IcGorum  in  the  Scotch  reel  deserved  spe- 

'ial  commendation. 

There  is  a  pronounced  scarcity  of  flor- 
ists' and  gardeners'  assistants  in  this 
•ection.  Even  at  advanced  wages  they 
're  hard  to  obtain.  The  main  trouble  is 
'hat  about  every  young  man  who  has  had 


a  year  or  more  of  experience  in  America 
wants  to  be  a  *  *  boss ' '  himself. 

Seed  merchants  are  now  very  busy,  but 
report  the  season  as  an  unusually  late 
and  dragging  one,  owing  to  the  cold 
weather. 

The  special  list  of  prizes  for  the  No- 
vember show  of  the  Massachusetts  Horti- 
cultural Society  will  be  issued  in  a  few 
days. 

April  has  kept  up  its  reputation  this 
year  for  cold  winds  and  ungeniality  to 
the  very  last.  The  weather  bureau  pro- 
nounced it  to  be  the  coldest  April  on

David  Lumsden's  purchase  of  the  Var- 
num  Frost  estate  of  ten  acres  in  Waver- 
ley,  with  several  large  greenhouses,  will 
give  him  a  location  very  convenient  to 
Boston.  While  palms  and  ferns  will  be 
specialties,  much  other  decorative  stock 
will  be  grown  and  a  large  shipping  trade 
will  be  done.  W.  N.  Ceaig. 


COLUMBUS,  OHIO. 


The  Market 


For  a  month  we  have  had  such  cold 
and  dreary  weather  that  cut  stock,  such 
a  short  time  ago  a  glut,  is  now  quite 
limited  in  many  lines.  Especially  is  this 
true  of  carnations,  which  have  some  days 
not  been  sufficient  to  go  around.  Roses 
of  all  grades  are  of  better  quality  than 
for  a  long  time,  and  are  also,  with  all 
other  stock,  bringing  a  steadier  and  bet- 
ter return  to  the  grower.  Violets  are 
having  quite  a  good  run ;  in  fact,  per- 
haps better  than  any  time  this  season. 
Bulb  stock  is  about  over,  and  on  the 
whole  both  growers  and  dealers  have 
done  better  with  this  class  of  flowers 
than  for  many  years.  Ever  since  Easter, 
plants  of  all  kinds  have  been  sold  in 
large  quantities,  and  good  rates  have 
generally  been  realized.  Almost  all  our 
florists,  besides  their  regular  stores, 
have  stands  in  the  various  market  dis- 
tricts, where  the  bulk  of  the  plant  stock 


is  sold.     On  the  whole  we  are  doing  an 
all-around   good  business. 

Florists'  Qub. 

A  well  attended  meeting  of  the  club 
took  place  Tuesday  evening,  April  23, 
in  the  Brent  building  headquarters,  with 
Vice-president  R.  A.  Currie  in  the  chair. 
The  topics  discussed  were  the  annual 
field  day,  a  rose  and  strawberry  show, 
the  delinquent  member  question,  and  the 
effect  on  the  trade  of  closing  of  Green 
Lawn  cemetery  to  Sunday  burials.  Our 
members  are  enthusiastic  regarding  the 
rose  and  strawberry  show,  which  will  be 
held  June  11,  in  charge  of  M.  B.  Faxon, 
I.  D.  Siebert  and  A.  Wedemeyer,  as  a 
managing  committee.  In  regard  to  de- 
linquent members,  by  good  work  our 
secretary  has  reduced  the  number  mate- 
rially. At  this  meeting  the  display  of 
plants  and  flowers  was  especially  good. 
The  floral  committee  awarded  seventeen 
points  to  R.  A.  Currie  for  a  fine  vase  of 
King  of  the  Yellows  and  Kaizerkroon 
tulips.  An  award  of  eighteen  points 
was  made  to  I.  D.  Siebert  for  some  par- 
ticularly perfect  spikes  of  white  and  yel- 
low snapdragons. 

Various  Notes. 

The  board  of  trustees  of  Green  Lawn 
cemetery  recently  decided  that  after 
May  1  no  interments  will  be  permitted 
on  Sunday. 

The  Columbus  Floral  Co.  opened  its 
doors  for  business  at  187  South  High 
street  May  1.  Mrs.  H.  D.  Jones,  owner 
and  manager,  is  the  daughter  of  Gustave 
Drbbish,  of  the  Cottage  Rose  Garden, 
where  she  has  for  years  assisted  her 
father,  and  she  is  fully  qualified  to  suc- 
cessfully carry  on  her  new  enterprise. 
Your  correspondent  was  informed  that 
their  stock  of  plants  would  be  supplied 
by  the  Cottage  Rose  Garden,  and  that 
the  cut  flowers  and  sundries  would  be 
obtained  from  Chicago  dealers.  Mr. 
Drobish,  Mrs.  Jones'  father,  is  not  only 
the  dean  of  the  florists  of  this  city,  but 
also  one  of  the  best  known  members  of 
the  craft  in  this  state. 

When  the  Fifth  Avenue  Floral  Co. 
has  the  new  addition  completed,  at  Sells- 
ville,  the  plant  will  include  two  carna- 
tion houses,  each  27x400  feet,  and  one 
rose  house  of  the  same  dimensions. 

Mrs.  E.  M.  Krauss  removed  May  1 
from  209  South  High  street  to  109  on 
the  same  street.  Mrs.  Krauss  reports  a 
continually  increasing  business,  and  as 
this  change  of  location  brings  her  well 
within  the  retail  shopping  district,  she 
should  profit  substantially  by  the  change. 

E.  F.  Jones  has  started  with  bedding 
plants  at  his  stand  on  the  Central  mar- 
ket. As  usual,  geraniums  will  be  the 
leaders,  in  two  sizes,  at  50  cents  and  $1 
a  dozen. 

A  careful  summary  of  the  reports 
from  this  section  indicates  that  the  cold 
weather  the  last  month  has  injured  the 
fruit  crop  to  a  considerable  extent. 

The  board  of  education  has  purchased 
thirty-eight  sets  of  garden  tools,  so  that 
each  school  building  may  be  equipped 
for  the  seed  plantings  by  "the  children. 

Blooming  pansy  plants  at  5  cents  each, 
in  paper  pots,  are  this  week  one  of  the 
market  leaders. 

Graff  Bros,  made  a  special  push  last 
week  with  violets.  They  report  large 
sales  at  $1  to  $1.50  a  hundred. 

Gustave  Drobish  has  an  unusually  fine 
lot  of  potted  roses,  in  all  the  best  varie- 
ties.    They  bring  50  cents  to  $1.50  each.

It  has  been  suggested  that  boxwood 
sprays  may  be  used  in  many  places  where 
hardy  cut  ferns  have  commonly  been 
employed. 

The  Khode  Island  Horticultural  So- 
ciety has  issued  the  schedule  of  pre- 
miums for  the  exhibitions  to  be  held  at 
Providence  in  June,  September  and  No- 
vember. Copies  may  be  had  by  address- 
ing C.  W.  Smith,  secretary,  27  Exchange 
street,  Providence. 


The  Board  of  General  Appraisers  at 
New  York  April  22  held  that  mistletoe 
stems  with  the  natural  berries  attached 
are  free  of  duty  as  a  crude  vegetable 
substance  under  paragraph  617,  tariff 
act  of  1897. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  how  many 
firms  do  their  looking  up  of  credits 
after  payment  is  due  and  not  forth- 
coming, when  often  the  slightest  inquiry 
would  have  revealed  that  the  sale  never 
should  have  been  made  except  on  the 
cash  with  order  basis. 

The  Tarrytown  Horticultural  Society 
has  issued  the  preliminary  schedule  of 
premiums  for  its  ninth  annual  exhibi- 
tion, to  be  held  at  Music  hall,  Tarry- 
town,  N.  Y.,  November  6  to  8.  Copies 
may  be  had  by  addressing  E.  W.  Neu- 
brand,   secretary,  Tarrytown. 

There  are  a  large  number  of  speci- 
men bay  trees  known  to  have  suffered 
considerably  during  the  past  winter.  The 
greater  number  of  those  damaged  were 
wintered  in  sheds  or  other  buildings 
where  the  atmosphere  was  invariably 
dry  and  sometimes  the  temperature  quite 
low.  Bays  will  stand  a  pretty  low  tem- 
perature, but  a  protracted  period  in  a 
dry  atmosphere  is  apt  to  blight  the 
foliage.  Damp  hay  scattered  among  the 
tubs  will  help  to  retain  moisture. 

The  question  of  an  adequate  and  de- 
pendable supply  of  hardy  ferns  has  be- 
come an  important  one  with  wholesale 
florists.  The  number  of  users  of  ferns 
has  increased  much  more  rapidly  than 
has  the  supply  and  as  a  consequence  most 
pickers  do  not  seem  to  exercise  as  much 
care  as  formerly,  with  the  result  that 
the  quality  of  the  stock  is  deteriorating. 
This  spring  the  ferns  coming  out  of  stor- 
age are  in  very  poor  condition  and  the 
chances  of  wholesalers  making  a  profit 
on  them  are  remote. 


THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


F.  W.  Cross. 


At  "Wisbech,  England,  Frederick  Wil- 
liam Cross  died  suddenly  April  4  of 
cerebral  hemorrhage.  He  was  43  years 
of  age  and  widely  known  for  his  large 
interests  in  the  nursery  business  and  in 
fruit  growing.  It  is  said  that  the 
funeral  was  more  largely  attended  than 
any  ever  held  in  the  borough  cemetery. 
Mr.  Cross  left  two  brothers  engaged  in 
the  trade:  .1.  W.  Cross,  a  grower  of 
American  varieties  of  carnations  at  Wis- 
bech, England,  and  Eli  Cross,  grower  of 
violets,  carnations,  etc.,  at  Grand  Rapids, 
Mich. 

Mrs.  Dorothy  Bomhoeft. 

Mrs.  Dorothy  Bomhoeft  died  at  Chi- 
cago, April  24,  aged  68  years.  Her  resi- 
dence was  1164  Maple  Square  avenue. 
She  was  the  mother  of  Henry  and  Eu- 
gene Bomhoeft.  Henry  Bomhoeft  is  a 
well-known  florist  at  Tipton,  Ind. 

John  Cotterill. 

It  was  with  a  feeling  of  deep  regret 
that  the  trade  at  Toronto,  Ont.,  heard 
the  news,  Monday  morning,  April  22,  of 
the  death  of  John  Cotterill,  who  died  of 
pneumonia  after  a  week's  illness.  Mr. 
Cotterill  was  one  of  the  best-known  flor- 
ists in  and  around  Toronto,  having  spent 
his  life  in  tiiO  northern  part  of  the  city. 
He  was  an  extensive  grower  of  high- 
grade  bedding  plants,  and  it  was  always 
freely  admitted  that  he  got  the  highest 


price  of  any  wholesaler  in  the  trade 
there.  This  may  be  accounted  for  by 
the  fact  of  the  good  quality  of  the  stock 
he  grew,  and  by  his  own  personality  a^i  a 
salesman.  In  the  winter  time  he  gre\v 
asparagus  and  bulb  stock  extensively 
The  funeral  was  held  April  24  and  w^jj 
attended  by  a  large  number  of  the  craft. 
He  leaves  a  widow  and  nine  childim 
who  have  the  sincere  sympathy  of  ail 
connected  with  the  trade  in  and  aroi:inl 
Toronto.  D.  J. 

GARDENIAS. 

The  following  telegram  is  recei\oj 
from  C.  W.  Benson,  Alvin,  Tex. : 

"The  article  on  gardenias,  under  I'.e 
heading  of  Seasonable  Suggestions  in  iiie 
Eeview  of  April  25  is  altogether  uni  lU- 
to  me.  1  have  several  hundred  flon-;ts 
on  my. list,  from  New  York  to  Salt  L.'.kl' 
to  whom  I  have  shipped  many  yc;is. 
If  shipments  were  not  satisfactoiy, 
orders  would  not  continue.  Dozens  wnto 
me  every  year,  expressing  complete  sais- 
f action.  Our  last  year's  shipments  vivo 
a  half -million  buds  in  orders;  no  ci  :ii- 
plaints.  Please  correct  editorially  in 
your  issue  tomorrow  and  suggest  this 
applies  only  to  inexperienced  shippers. 
The  article  was  intentionally  timed  and 
should  have  been  censored,  for  you  know 
the  extent  and  character  of  my  trade.'" 

The  note  to  which  Mr.  Benson  refers 
was  to  the  effect  that  the  gardenia,  frcsli 
cut  from  a  greenhouse  in  winter,  is  not 
to  be  compared  to  the  cape  jasmine, 
which  ' '  does  splendidly  out  of  doors  in 
'lexas, "  after  its  journey  north  of  a 
thousand  miles  or  more.  However,  it  is 
with  pleasure  that  wo  adopt  Mr.  Bon- 
son's  suggestion,  for  we  would  not  want 
to  be  unfair  to  him — or  the  numerons 
other  large  and  experienced  shippers  of 
jasmine. 

THE  READERS'  CORNER. 


No  Sunday  Funerals  in  Detroit. 

For  a  long  time  ministers  of  Detroit 
tried  to  stop  Sunday  funerals,  finally 
giving  it  up  as  a  bad  job.  About  :i 
year  ago  the  hackdrivers'  union  decided 
that  six  days  a  week  were  enough  and 
refused  to  drive  on  Sundays.  A  com- 
mittee was  appointed  to  wait  upon  tlu^ 
directors  of  the  various  cemeteries,  per- 
suading them  to  refuse  Sunday  burials, 
to  which  agreement  they  have  lived  up 
ever  since,  except  in  tne  case  of  a  death 
from  a  contagious  disease,  when  they 
are  obliged  to  bury  by  order  of  the  board 
of   health. 

The  effect  on  the  florists'  business  has 
been  just  the  opposite  to  that  reported 
in  several  recent  articles  in  the  Review. 
Witn  no  burials  Sundays,  those  that 
would  naturally  fall  upon  that  day  arc 
put  off  until  Monday,  in  most  cases. 
Consequently  Monday  now  is  the  heavi- 
est burial  day.  Seventy-five  per  cent  ot 
the  people  want  their  orders  deliverc': 
the  day  previous  to  the  funeral.  Thi^ 
being  Sunday,  it  is  easily  seen  that  the 
florists  are  kept  extremely  busy,  havin;^' 
to  work  more  hours  on  Sunday  than  they 
did  when  there  were  burials  that  day.

CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market. 

There  has  been  no  change  in  the 
weather  and  little  change  in  the  market 
situation  in  the  last  week.  The  weather 
continues  to  be  of  the  March  lion  variety 
and  business,  all  things  considered,  is  ex- 
cellent. The  unseasonable  and  exceed- 
ingly disagreeable  weather  has  resulted 
in  a  large  increase  in  the  death  rate,  not 
only  in  Chicago  but  in  many  other  cities 
that  look  to  Chicago  for  supplies,  and 
the  demand  for  funeral  work  is  note- 
worthily  heavy.  "While  social  activity 
makes  a  call  for  select  stock  in  the  rose 
department,  it  is  the  snorts  which  sell 
out  first  and  bring  relatively  the  best 
prices.  Buyers  will  readily  give  2  cents 
to  3  cents  for  large  quantities  of  short 
roses,  when  8  cents  is  paid  with  reluc- 
tance for  really  splendid  stock,  which  is 
quite  abundant.  Short  red  roses,  of 
course,  do  not  share  in  the  prosperity  of 
the  shorts  in  other  colors,  although  short 
Beauties  sell  well.  The  supply  of  roses 
is  large  in  all  the  houses. 

The  carnation  crop  is  off.  Eeceipts  in 
the  last  week  have  been  less  than  in  the 
week  before  and  the  carnation  market 
has  been  stiff  throughout.  It  is  pointed 
out  that  a  year  ago  at  this  date  carna- 
tions were  being  moved  in  thousand  lots 
at  from  $7.50  to  $10,  while  in  the  last 
week  they  have  been  $2  to  $4  per  hundred. 
Opinions  vary  as  to  the  result  to  the 
growers.  Some  wholesalers  say  they  are 
not  receiving  as  much  money  as  a  year 
ftgo,  while  others  aver  they  are  sending 
their    growers    larger    checks    than    last 


year.  Some  fancy  stock  brings  $5  and 
the  market  is  well  cleaned  up  every  day. 
Growers  say  there  is  no  immediate  pros- 
pect ctf  increase  in  the  crop. 

The  most  active  item  at  present  is 
sweet  peas.  Everyone  wants  them  and 
as  they  are  quite  abundant,  a  large  busi- 
ness is  done.  A  few  violets  still  are  re- 
ceived, but  they  sell  slowly.  A  little  out- 
door bulbous  stock  is  arriving  from  the 
south,  but  much  of  it  shows  frost  marks. 
Poet's  narcissus  is  coming  from  Carbon- 
dale.  Indoor  bulbous  stock  is  nearly 
over,  only  a  few  white  tulips  and  jon- 
quils now  arriving.  Valley  is  in  good 
demand.  There  is  a  large  supply  of 
callas,  but  they  are  moving  quite  well 
because  of  the  demand  for  funeral  work. 
Easter  lilies  are  more  abundant  than  a 
week  ago. 

There  is  a  considerable  quantity  of 
such  things  as  pausies,  snapdragon, 
stocks,  swainsona,  etc.  Green  goods  are 
abundant,  short  sprays  of  southern  piu- 
mosus selling  even  better  than  adiantum. 

Second  Crop  Lilies. 

As  is  well  known,  Albert  Amling,  at 
Maywood,  grows  a  number  of  roses  espe- 
cially for  summer  cutting.  A  year  ago 
he  planted  a  lot  of  bulbs  of  Easter  lilies 
between  the  roses  on  solid  beds  and  after 
cutting  the  lilies,  left  the  bulbs  undis- 
turbed. The  roses  were  given  a  rest  and 
the  lilies  enjoyed  the  same  respite.  When 
the  roses  were  started  up  in  the  fall, 
the  lilies  soon  showed  signs  of  activity 
and  now  there  is  a  splendid  crop  of  thou- 
sands in  sight  for  early  cutting.  Nearly 
every  bulb  is  stronger  than  it  was  last 
year,  five  or  six  buds  being  the  average. 


Speculation. 

Frederick  Sperry,  of  Vaughau  & 
Sperry,  says  that  speculation  is  a  neces- 
sary feature  of  a  brisk  market  for  cut 
flowers.  He  says  that  at  present  the  re- 
tailers will  not  speculate  on  violets  j  they 
will  pay  a  good  price  for  violets  when 
they  need  them,  but  they  will  not  touch 
them  at  any  price  unless  they  have  or- 
ders to  be  fined.  The  result  is  a  poor 
market  for  violets.  On  the  other  hand, 
sweet  peas  are  good  property  and  tho 
retailers  are  quite  willing  to  take  a 
chance;  they  buy  large  quantities  with- 
out having  orders,  knowing  that  there 
is  good  transient  call  for  them  every 
pleasant  day.  This  willingness  to  specu- 
late makes  a  brisk  market  for  sweet 
peas. 

Base  Ball. 

The  employees  of  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co. 
at  Morton  Grove  have  organized  a  base 
ball  team  and  opened  the  season  April  28 
with  a  game  with  the  Ferns,  winning  by 
a  score  of  11  to  9.  The  battery  for 
the  Poehlmann  team  was  Brigetto  and 
Sehultze.  The  team  plans  to  play  lead- 
ing amateur  teams  every  Sunday. 

The  growers  north  of  town  are  many 
of  them  interested  in  the  national  game. 
It  is  stated  that  N.  J.  Wietor,  of  Wietor 
Bros.,  is  one  of  the  owners  of  the  suc- 
cessful Rogers  Park  semi-professional 
team.

albuiii  of  the  floral  arrangements  photo- 
jjraphed  at  the  sliow  and  is  offering  it 
lor  sale  to  the  trade  through  jobbing 
liouses.  At  last  reports  the  executive 
committee  had  not  yet  been  able  to  get  a 
settlement  from  the  jihotographer,  so  it 
seems  tliat  tlio  Horticultural  Society 
may  have  a  good  claim  for  an  interest 
in  the  stock  of  albums  now  on  sale. 

When  complaint  is  made  as  to  the 
lack  of  variety  in  stock,  H.  E.  Klunder 
has  nothing  to  say.  In  his  show  window 
Ajjril  27  were  arbutus,  sweet  peas,  pussy 
willows,  stocks,  forget-me-nots,  swain- 
sona,  poppies,  mignonette,  pansies,  tu- 
lips, daffodils  nnd  the  all-the-year-around 
flowers.  All  these  and  other  items  may 
be  had  in  the  market,  but  not  in  great 
quantity. 

Theo.  Fabricius,  who  owns  a  mush- 
room plant  containing  50,000  square  feet 
of  beds,  in  Bowmanville,  at  Lincoln  and 
Bryn  Mawr  avenues,  plans  to  give  his 
attention  exclusively  to  the  mushroom 
spawn  business. 

Henry  Hansen,  who  was  formerly  as- 
sociated with  liis  father,  Hubert  Hansen, 
in  the  management  of  the  greenhouses 
at  4016  North  Clark  street,  has  aban- 
doned ihat  business  and  is  learning  the 
carpenters'  trade.  The  father,  believ- 
ing himself  too  advanced  in  years  to 
assume  the  entire  responsibility  of  con- 
tinuing the  business,  has  offered  the 
greenhouses  for  sale. 

Ganger  &  Gormley  are  moving  from 
27  State  street  to  29*  State,  the  next  door 
south,  where  they  will  have  a  store  that 
is  about  twenty  feet  deeper  than  the 
old  one.  Business  is  good  with  them  and 
they  need  the  additional  space. 

Joseph  P.  Brooks,  at  Morton  Grove,  is   I 


planting  carnations  in  the  field,  but  most 
of  the  growers  are  holding  off,  as  the 
temperature  was  as  low  as  36  degrees 
April  29. 

The  George  Wittbold  Co.  is  sinking  a 
well  and  has  bought  an  electric  motor  to 
]»ump  thg  water  that  it  is  expected  to 
find  at  no  great  depth.  About  $50  per 
month  is  now  jiaid  to  the  city  for  water, 
and  a  good  ))art  of  this  is  expected  to  be 
saved  when  the  well  is  working. 

(Jeorge  Weinberg's  second  car  of  or- 
chid plants  was  shipped  from  Ruther- 
ford, K.  J.,  April  29,  and^vill  be  here 
the  latter  part  of  this  week. 

C.  W.  McKellar  says  the  annual  crop 
of  Cattleya  Skinneri  is  on,  but  Mossise 
at  twice  the  price  sells  better. 

The  notice  of  the  demise  of  Mrs.  Doro- 
thy Bornhoeft  appears  in  the  obituary 
column  of  this  week's  issue. 

The  E.  F.  Winterson  Co.  has  disposed 
of  the  carload  of  boxwood  received  just 
before  Easter  and  this  week  has  a  second 
carload  in.  The  stock  being  of  better 
quality  than  the  first  lot,  it  will  doubt- 
less go  even  faster. 

Kennicott  Bros.  Co.  received  its  first 
peonies  April  27.  Old  Eed  now  is  in 
small  daily  supply,  with  a  prospect  of 
early  increase  with  a  little  warm  weather 
in  Missouri.  These  first  Old  Bed  show 
frost  marks,  but  that  signifies  little  as 
to  the  rest  of  the  crop. 

Sol  Garland,  of  Des  Plaines,  was  down 
town  April  25  and  closed  up  the  deal 
for  the  new  automobile.  It  is  to  be  de- 
livered by  May  15. 

The  trade  will  regret  to  hear  that  Ed- 
gar Sanders  has  been  under  the  doctor's 
care  for  the  last  week. 

It  is  stated  that  Scheiden  &  Schoos  are 


contemplating  planting  one  of  their  sec- 
tions with  roses  for  next  season.  This 
year  the  entire  plant  has  been  devoted 
to  carnations. 

C.  L,  Washburn,  of  Bassett  &  Wash 
burn,  says  that  Monday's  business  has 
been  steadily  increasing  until  now  Mon- 
day is  decidedly  the  busiest  day  in  the 
week,  although  it  has  been  brisk  every 
day  in  the  last  fortnight. 

N.  C.  Moore  &  Co.  will  change  their 
steam  heating  plant  to  a  vacuum  system 
before  time  to  fire  for  next  season. 

Otto  Goerisch,  of  the  A.  L.  Eandall 
force,  has  been  keeping  bachelor's  hall 
for  three  weeks.  Mrs.  Goerisch  is  ex- 
pected home  from  Burlington,  la.,  Fri- 
day. 

John  Evert,  who  now  has  eight  houses 
in  vegetables,  is  preparing  to  plant  them 
all  with  chrysanthemums  for  an  autumn 
cut.  Last  year  he  had  only  half  his 
space  in  mums,  but  he  did  so  well  that 
he  thinks  he  will  double  up  this  year.  He 
has  done  excellently  with  lettuce,  havinjj 
fine  stock  and  getting  good  prices  all 
winter.  He  now  has  a  crop  of  cucum- 
bers approaching  maturity. 

Steve  Minor,  who  has  been  with  the 
Kennicott  Bros.  Co.  for  several  years, 
now  has  a  job  at  the  city  hall.  His  place 
with  Kennicott 's  has  been  taken  by  B.  G. 
Lambros,  who  formerly  was  in  the  re 
tail  business  here  and  at  Milwaukee. 

J.  Becker,  who  bought  the  Winandy 
establishment  of  A.  Dietsch,  has  thrown 
out  all  the  carnations  and  says  that  next 
season  he  will  plant  the  entire  place  with 
lettuce.

A..  C.  Spencer,  of  Peter  Beinberg's, 
says  the  business  in  young  stock  of  roses 
•111(1  carnations  is  this  year  about  twice 
wliat  it  was  last  year;  but  it  will  be  re- 
membered that  last  year 's  business  was 
not  up  to  the  expectations  of  the  whole- 
sale growers  of  young  stock. 

Frank  Williams  closed  Moscoe's  old 
store  in  the  Masonic  Temple  Tuesday. 
Ilo  still  is  running  the  store  around  the

terest in  the  Alpha  Floral  Co.,  which 
ii'cently  opened  the  store  at  the  corner 
of  Madison  street  and  Wabash  avenue, 
so  that  he  has  plenty  to  occupy  his  en- 
ergies. 

Word  comes  from  Joliet  that  J.  D. 
Tliompson,  Avho  recently  assumed  the 
nianagement  of  the  new  floral  depart- 
ment in  the  Spot  Cash  Store,  has  gone 
to  Xew  York  for  the  purpose  of  buying

The  Market. 


There  is  not  much  to  say  regarding  the 
market  aud  store  trade  of  the  last  week. 
The  store  men  report  a  fairly  good  trade 
in  all  lines,  but  the  customary  large  wed- 
ding (lecorations  which  follow  Easter  are 
missing  this  year.  There  are  plenty  of 
su.allor  affairs.  Funeral  work  has  been 
quite  jtlentiful  of  late  and  that  helps  out 
greatly.  The  weather  also  has  had  a 
bad  effect  on  the  trade.  We  have  had 
few  pleasant  days  since  Easter,  but  the 
moiitii  of  ^lay  should  bring  warmer  and 
clearer  weather.  The  greenhouse  men 
have  been  waiting  for  this  kind  of  weath- 
er for  planting  out,  as  they  have  plenty 
of  orders  ahead. 

At  the  wholesale  houses  we  find  plenty 
of  good  roses  in  all  varieties.  There  are 
a   great  many  fine,  long-stemmed  Amer- 


ican Heauti<s  coming  in,  which  soil  well 
but  at  a  low  j.rice.  TIk!  lesser  grades 
also  are  plentiful.  In  Bride,  Maid, 
Ivory,  Carnot,  Killarney  and  Richmond 
the  market  has  iiecn  well  supplied  almost 
(ncry  day. 

Carnations  seem  to  be  the  scarce  flow- 
ers in  the  market;  few  are  coming  in. 
but  the  scarcity  in  these  extends  to  other 
markets  as  well,  as  those*  wlio  have  regu- 
lar shi|)ments  coming  in  daily  arc  trying 
to  buy  from  the  local  market. 

Callas  and  Ilarrisii  are  slacking  up. 
Lily  of  the  valley  is  j)Ientiful.  These, 
with  a  few  odds  and  ends,  are  all  that 
come  to   this   market   daily. 

Various  Notes. 

We  iiave  had  a  number  of  visitors  with 
us  the  last  week,  representing  various 
firms.  -Vmong  them  were  Aruold  Rin- 
gier,  with  the  W.  W.  Barnard  Co.,  Chi- 
cago, on  his  way  home  from  the  coast. 

William  C.  Young,  state  vice-president 
of  the  S.  A.  F.,  will  be  at  the  next  club 
meeting  to  report  his  work  ahead  for  the 
next  convention.  lie  will  also  be  pro-

had  friends  by  the  score. 

The  Foster  Floral  Co.  moved  May  1 
to  its  new  location  at  Ninth  and  Olive 
streets. 

Will  Adels,  formerly  with  Mrs.  Ayers, 
made  his  appearance  in  the  wholesale 
liouses  April  29.  He  has  been  laid  up 
with  sickness  since  the  first  of  the  year; 
this  explains  his  long  absence. 

The  Riegscn  Floral  Co..  on  South 
Broadway,  had  a  number  of  small  hotel 
decorations  last  week;  also  a  number  of 
large  funeral  designs.  Their  window- 
displays   arc   always   attractive. 

The  trustees  of  the  Florists'  Club, 
Messrs.  Smith,  Beyer  and  Weber,  held 
a  meeting  last  week  to  look  over  a  num- 
ber of  propositions  for  a  fit  celebration 
for  the  club's  twentieth  anniversary, 
which  is  to  take  place  June  28.  It  has 
been  decided  that  it  will  be  a  stag  af- 
fair. A  full  report  will  be  made  at  the 
club  meeting. 

Henry  Braun.  late  foreman  for  A. 
Brix,  is  taking  things  easy,  visiting  the 
diflferent  growers  in  Clayton  and  Kirk- 
wood.  He  reports  that  on  a  visit  to 
•Tohn  Stcidle  he  found  his  place  in  fine 
shape,  with  finf^  crojis  of  carnations  and 
roses. 

"Billy"  Smith  had  a  street  car  acci- 
dent last  week,  which  resulted  in  his  re- 
maining indoors  a  few  days.     He  is  now 


out  and  about  on  crutches,  attending  to 
business. 

\vm.  Schray  &  Sons  have  a  large  stock 
of  bedding  plants  and  plenty  of  orders 
for  planting  out.  Emil  Schray  says  the 
weather  has  kept  them  back  considerably 
with  their  work.  Others,  though,  have 
the  same  complaint. 

The  florists  near  the  large  cemeteries 
liave  been  kept  busy  of  late  preparing 
for  planting.  Fred  Meinhardt  and  the 
Koeuig  Floral  Co.  have  the  bulk  of  the 
work  in  that  district. 

Charlie  Schoenle,  of  the  Schoenle 
Floral  Co.,  who  has  a  fine  tenor  voice,  is 
writing  a  new  song  he  will  sing  at  the 
club's  celebration  next  month.  The  name 
of  the  song  is  "How  I  Came  to  Attend 
the  Last  Club  Meeting, "  and  "  Why  I  '11 
Never  Miss  Another." 

The  St.  Louis  Florists'  Club  will  hold 
its  monthly  meeting  May  9  at  2  o  'clock, 
in  the  Burlington  building,  810  Olive 
street.  President  Irish  will  be  on  hand 
and  expects  a  full  attendance,  as  several 
committees  will  report  on  important  mat- 
ters. Any  member  who  is  interested  in 
the  club's  welfare  should  hang  his  notice 
in  a  conspicuous  place,  so  as  not  to  for- 
got. J.  J.  B.

LILAC  CULTURE  IN  GERMANY. 

The  raising  of  lilac  plants  for  forc- 
ig  from  autumn  till  late  spring  has  not 
aught  on  in  England  as  has  been  the 
;ise  for  twenty  years  in  Germany,  and 
e  mostly  draw  out  supplies,  as  did  the 
■ermans  formerly,  from  France.  I 
'uch  doubt  if  the  latter  do  so  to  any 
leat  extent,  at  the  present  day,  partly 
>r  patriotic  reasons,  and  partly  because 

has  been  found  that  as  good  material 
•in  be  grown  in  their  own  country  as 
1  France,  while  money  is  kept  at  home 
nd  employment  found  for  the  laboring 
'asses.  One  of  the  largest  growers,  if 
>'t  the  very  largest,  is  Herr  F,  Sinai, 
f  Frankfort-on-the-Main,  who  has  150 
lorgen   of  land,  three-fourths  of  which 


is  under  lilac.  In  1891  he  had  twenty 
morgen  of  land  devoted  to  this  crop. 
His  chief  lilac  for  forcing  (he  sells  but 
few  plants)  consists  of  seedlings,  select- 
ing these  by  reason  of  such  peculiarities 
of  growth  as  promise  by  further  culti- 
vation to  show  valuable  features;  a 
method  that  has  resulted  in  a  number 
of  seedlings  being  raised  widely  supe- 
rior to  well-esteemed  varieties.  Besides 
the  seedlings  which  he  raises  annually, 
there  are  the  best  of  the  trade  varieties, 
as  Charles  X.,  Marie  Legraye,  Andenken 
an  L.  Spath,  Michel,  Buchner,  Mme.  Le- 
moine,  etc.,  which  are  grown  for  forc- 
ing purposes,  and  a  number  of  the 
Marly  lilacs,  which  in  less  than  four 
years  in  the  nursery  set  a  good  number 


of  flower-buds.  These  lilacs  are  grown 
from  suckers,  not  budded  or  grafted,  and 
they  flower  well  in  balls,  and  thus  save 
the  expensive  potting  Avork.  Herr  Sinai 
forces  108,000  lilac  plants  in  all,  but 
the  demand  is  not  great  before  Christ- 
mas. The  plants  for  that  season  are 
placed  in  the  forcing  houses  on  Novem- 
ber 27,  and  these  consist  entirely  of  un- 
prepared   plants. — Gardeners '    Chronicle. 

Faibbury,  III. — Alex  Milne  is  prepar- 
ing to  erect  two  new  greenhouses  and  will 
commence  at  once,  so  they  may  be  com- 
pleted by  August.  One  of  the  buildings 
will  be  30x58  and  the  other  28x68.  They 
will  be  devoted  to  the  growing  of  car- 
nations. Mr.  Milne  built  one  new  house 
last  year.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising  Eastern  Market. 

The  voluiiu;  of  business  is  a  trifle 
smaller  tliaii  a  week  ago;  that  is,  legiti- 
mate business.  There  are  probably  as 
many,  or  more,  flowers  coming  into  the 
market,  and  most  of  them  find  an  outlet, 
but  some  at  such  poor  prices  that  they 
do  not  go  far  toward  selling  the  total. 
Tlie  feature  of  the  market  from  Thurs- 
day until  Saturday  of  last  week  was  the 
continued  scarcity  of  carnations,  the 
prices  realized  for  the  best  being  at 
times  even  higher  than  listed  quotations. 
The  first  half  of  this  week,  however,  has 
shown  a  decided  change  in  the  situation, 
the  receipts  of  the  divine  flower  being 
in  excess  of  the  demand,  with  prices 
easier. 

Roses  continue  fairly  plentiful  and, 
thanks  to  the  cool  weather,  are  of  good 
quality.  Some  double  violets  still  can 
be  had,  with  indications  that  the  close 
of  this  week  will  see  the  last  of  the 
season 's  crop.  White  violets  are  over. 
The  increase  in  the  receipts  of  cattleyas 
is  marked,  assuring  an  abundance  of 
choice  flowers  for  the  next  month.  They 
are  a  most  welcome  addition.  Valley  is 
in  fair  demand.  Sweet  peas  are  plenti- 
ful, with  the  rank  and  file  improving  in 
quality.  The  best  are  very  fine.  Pur- 
ple is  a  welcome  addition  to  the  list; 
lavender  and  pale  pink  are  becoming 
more  numerous.  A  novelty  reported  by 
the  Leo  Miessen  Co.  is  Miniature 
gladioli.     Wild  smilax  is  over. 

A  Question  of  G)unt. 

It  too  frequently  happens  that  there 
is  a  diff"erence  of  opinon  between  the 
purchaser  and  the  shipper  regarding  the 
number  of  each  article  contained  in  a 
particular  shipment.  An  interesting 
example  of  this  is  reported  by  M.  Rice 
&  Co.,  who  received  a  complaint  regard- 
ing a  shortage  in  one  of  their  shipments 
recently.  The  firm  wrote  to  the  pur- 
chaser, stating  that  the  shipment  had 
been  checked  by  three  different  persons, 
each  acting  independently  of  the  others, 
and  requesting  that  the  count  be  again 
made.  The  purchaser  replied  that  he 
had    made    the    count    again,    with    the

same  result,  a  considerable  shortage; 
but  on  the  following  day  wrote  again, 
apologizing,  and  stating  that  the  full

An  Interesting  Struggle. 

Last  Monday  nine  of  the  leading 
private  gardeners  from  the  suburbs  of 
this  city  were  invited,  by  W^illiam  P. 
Craig,  to  visit  Forty-ninth  and  Market 
streets  to  examine  the  new  fern, 
Nephrolepis  Amerpohlii.  Mr.  Craig  of- 
fered each  grower  one  large  plant  in  a 
7-inch  azalea  pot  and  two  plants  in 
4-inch  pots  to  be  grown  under  the  fol- 
lowing conditions:  The  three  plants  to 
be  grown  for  three  months,  and  shifted 
at  the  option  of  the  grower,  into  any 
size   pot   or   pan    desired.      Each    grower 


to  bring  his  three  plants  to  the  meetiuK 
of  the  Florists'  Club  to  be  held  in  Hor

on    awards,    with    the    addition    of    twc

second  and   third   best  exhibits,  the  ex 
hibitor    winning    first    prize    to    receive, 
also,  his  choice  of  his  own  three  plants, 
all   the   other   plants  to  be   returned   t'

Mrs.  Gardine 

Phi!  paid  a  flying  visit  to  Robert 
Scott  &  Son's  place  at  Sharon  Hill,  pri- 
marily to  see  Alexander  B.  Scott,  always 
a  great  pleasure  to  Phil,  secondarily  to 
see  Mrs.  Gardine.  Mr.  Scott  was  at 
home,  cheery  and  full  of  enthusiasm  for 


liis  work,  and  gave  an  liour  or  more  of 
his  time  to  a  stroll  over  his  place,  chat- 
ting in  a  way  that  was  an  inspiration 
in  itself.  But  you  ask,  who  is  Mrs.  Gar- 
dine? Is  she  Mr.  Scott's  bookkeeper? 
Not  at  all.  Mrs.  Gardine  is  a  beauti- 
ful new  Irish  rose,  a  seedling  of  Alex- 
ander Dickson  &  Sons,  of  Newtonards, 
near  Belfast.  Perliaps  Mrs.  Gardine 
may  be  best  described  as  a  rose  of 
Bridesmaid  size  and  Ki Harney  color  that 
retains  its  brightness  better  than  either 
Bridesmaid  or  Killarney  under  trying 
conditions.  Mrs.  Gardine  is  a  vigorous 
grower,  producing  a  profusion  of  flow- 
ers on  long,  stout  stems.  "When  E.  G. 
Hill  first  saw  Mrs.  Gardine  in  the  house 
devoted  to  testing  the  Dickson  roses,  he 
gave  one  quick,  comprehensive  glance 
and  remarked,  "Aleck,  you  have  a  win- 
ner there,"  and  turned  away  to  look  at 
the  others.  Two  houses  wili  be  devoted 
to    this    rose    next    season.      From    these 


houses  the  wood  will  be  propagated  for 
distriuution  in  1908. 

Mrs.  Gardine  has  a  sister,  or  a  cousin, 
or  an  aunt,  a  beautiful  copper-colored 
bud,  which  becomes  a  deep  golden  yel- 
low when  half  blown.  The  i)etals  are 
long  and  unusually  heavy,  the  stems 
stout.  This  relative,  as  yet  unnamed, 
will  probably  come  out  in  1909,  because 
you  see  it  is  as  much  as  anyone  can 
manage  to  bring  out  one  belle  in  a 
season. 

The  Flowers  That  Bloom  in  the  Spring. 

The  parks,  squares  and  private  gar- 
dens are  a  blaze  of  color  now.  Tulips, 
hyacinths  and  daffodils  are  at  their  best, 
giving  pleasure  to  thousands  of  flower 
lovers.  The  display  in  Fairmount  park 
is  the  largest  in  or  near  this  city. 
Oglesby  B.  Paul,  landscape  gardener  at 
the  park,  and  Xavier  E.  Schmitt,  man- 
ager at  Horticultural  hall,  have  fairly 
outdone  themselves  in  planning  and  exe- 
cuting the  dis[)lay.  The  entire  parterre, 
or  sunken  garden,  stretching  from  the 
hall  westward  to  the  Belmont  drive,  is 
planted  with  bulbs,  chiefly  tulips,  each 
bed  being  devoted  to  a  single  variety, 
;}00  or  400  bulbs  to  a  bed.  The  festoon 
beds  on  the  sloping  sides  of  the  parterre 
are  also  filled  with  tuli|)s,  all  single  va- 
rieties. The  circles  from  which  the  fes- 
toons are  caught  are  filled  with  double 
daffodils  and  Narcissus  Von  Sion.  The 
beds  on  the  east  or  north  side  of  the 
hall  and  in  the  John  Welsh  memorial, 
near  Memorial  hall,  are  filled  with  tulips 
and  pansies.  Large  beds  of  La  Heine 
tvilips  and  purple  pansies  are  especially 
(effective.  Some  idea  of  the  planting  can 
bo  gathered  from  the  estimated  number 
of  tulips  in  bloom,  said  to  be  200,000. 
The  display  is  likely  to  be  at  its  best 
by  next  Sunday,  May  4. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  A.  Peterson,  of  Cincinnati,  was  a 
visitor  in  this  city  last  week.  Mr.  Peter- 
son is  one  of  the  most  progressive  of 
the  western  growers,  whose  ideas  are 
full  of  interest.  i

home.  Miss  Crawford  received  many 
floral  gifts  from  her  father's  business 
friends. 

Walter  P.  Stokes  is  developing  an  ex- 
cellent business  in  pot-grown  tomatoes 
from  his  Moorestown  greenhouses.  The 
farmers  find  that  they  can  bring  Spark's 
Earliana  into  the  market  by  June  20 
from   plants  in  pots. 

"William  J.  Sherry,  of  the  Johnson 
Seed  Co.,  is  putting  life  into  the  whole 
force  by  his  example. 

The  Leo  Niessen  Co.  is  receiving  pur- 
ple, lavender  and  flesh-colored  sweet 
peas  in  quantity.  Cattleyas  with  them 
bid  fair  to  last  throughout  May. 

Alphonse  Pericat,  of  Collingdale,  is

Robert  Scott  &  Son  are  building  a

streets  will,  on  the  termination  of  his 
lease  of  the  Bunting  greenhouses,  go 
into  business  with  his  father  at  Wester- 
ly, K.  I.  This  will  give  Mr.  Renter  a 
splendid  opening,  as  the  Westerly  place 
comprises  180,000  feet  of  glass,  a  farm 
of  100  acres,  a  retail  business  in  West- 
erly, a  retail  store  in  New  London,  and 
considerable  business  from  small  out- 
lying towns. 

Edward  Reid  received  an  order  over 
the  long  distance  phone  from  Virginia 
last  Monday,  that  required  delivery  the 
same  evening.  This  might  have  phased 
some  wholesalers,  but  Mr.  Reid  promptly 
arranged  a  schedule  and  dispatched  a 
special  messenger  with  the  flowers. 

Southern  daffodils  have  been  reaching 
this  market  in  exceptionally  good  con- 
dition. Indications  point  to  their  be-

Richmond,  Ind. — J.  A.  Evans,  of  the 
Quaker  City  Machine  Co.,  reports  that 
this  is  one  of  the  busiest  seasons  to  date. 
April  was  an  especially  good  month. 


COSMOS. 

Cosmos  is  profitable,  grown  in  a 
locality  free  from  early  fall  frosts.  The 
seed  germinates  freely,  the  plants  grow 
with  great  vigor,  and  if  the  season  per 
mits  an  abundance  of  bloom  may  be  had 
in  September.  An  early  flowering  strain 
of  dwarf  cosmos  has  been  on  the  mar- 
ket for  several  years  and  each  year  there 
is  an  improvement  in  size  and  color. 

Cosmos  flowers  are  borne  on  long  stem- 
in  white  and  red,  the  latter  in  severa 
fine  shades.    The  foliage  of  the  plant  i 
fine.     Seed   should   be   sown    in    gentl' 
heat  in  the  greenhouse  or  hotbed  witli 
out   loss   of   time.      The    young    plant- 
should  be  transplanted  when  two  inche- 
high,   being   set  well   down  in   the   soil 
with   at   least   three   inches   allowed   be 
tween  plants,  as  they  are  likely  to  become 
spindly    if    crowded.     When    danger   oi 
frost  is  over  set  them  out  in  a  warm. 
well  sheltered  position,  three  feet  apart.

STRENGTH  OF  CYANIDE. 

In  the  Review  of  April  18  I  again  see 
the  formula  for  the  use  of  hydrocyanic 
acid  gas  produced  by  the  use  of  water, 
sulphuric  acid  and  cyanide  of  potassium. 
This  we  have  repeatedly  had  set  out  by 
the  Review,  but  when  I  come  to  the 
drug  store  to  buy  the  cyanide  the  drug- 


gist     invariably      asks      me: 


What 


strength   do  you   want?"     And  there  I 
am;   I  don't  know,  because  your  direc- 


tions fail  to  tell  us.  Now  would  it  not 
be  a  good  idea  for  the  Review  to  as- 
certain what  really  the  proper  strength 
of  this  stuff  should  be  for  this  use,  and 
where  to  send  for  the  same  in  order  to 
buy  it  the  cheapest?  I  would  like  to  use 
it,  and  I  am  sure  that  lots  of  other 
florists  would  do  the  same,  but  they  are 
afraid  of  either  overdoing  it  or  not  mak- 
ing a  success  out  of  it  by  possibly  not 
getting  the  gas  strong  enough. 

Thanking  you  in  advance  for  the  in- 
formation, I  wish  to  enter  a  word  of 
high    commendation   for    the    Florists' 


Review,    for    whom    no    horn    can    blow 
too   loud.  IT,   E.   Z, 


The  Review  has  many  times  stated 
that  the  formula  for  the  use  of  hydro- 
cyanic acid  gas  is  based  on  the  cyanide 
being  what  is  known  in  the  chemicals 
trade  as  ' '  ninety-eight  per  cent  pure. ' ' 
It  is  not  an  expensive  article  and  it  has 
been  advised  that  the  cyanide  be  bought 
of  the  local  druggist  and  that  he  be 
asked  to  wrap  it  in  packages  of  two  and 
one-half  ounces  each  in  two  thicknesses 
of  brown  paper;  that  is  one  package 
to  each  jar  of  water  and  sulphuric  acid.

WAYSIDE  NOTES. 

At  the  J.  C.  Rogers'  greenhouses,  in 
Peabody,  Mass.,  where  C.  Simpkins  is 
superintendent,  is  a  unique  collection  of 
standard  zonal  geraniums,  heliotropes 
and  fuchsias.  They  make  a  grand  show- 
ing during  the  season  and  as  decorative 
plants  cannot  be  surpassed.  A  specialty 
is  also  made  of  varieties  of  the  Martha 
Washington  or  show  type.  These  are  of 
splendid  colors  and  size.  Some  hand- 
some specimens  of  Cattleya  Trianse  are 
in  full  bloom, 

J.  M.  Ward  &  Co.,  of  Peabody,  report 
the  largest  Eaater  business  on  record. 
They  make  a  specialty  of  flowering 
plants,  which  are  increasing  in  popular- 
ity. 

At  E.  T.  Gerry's,  in  Newport,  R.  I., 
under  the  care  of  Arthur  Griffin,  super- 
intendent, can  be  seen  a  fine  showing  of 
the  rare  and  beautiful  Gloriosa,  which  as 
a  decorative  plant  cannot  be  equaled, 
either  for  graceful  habit  or  richness  of 
color.     Something  seldom   seen   on   this 


side  of  the  pond  is  a  border  of  Laran- 
dula  Spica.  I  met  Richard  Gardner, 
who  pointed  this  out  to  me  here.  'Twas 
like  meeting  an  old  friend. 

At  the  E.  J.  Berwind  place,  Newport, 
Bruce  Butterton  is  completing  what  will 
be  the  show  place  of  Newport,  in  addi- 
tion to  possessing  an  almost  complete  col- 
lection of  coniferae. 

In  Warwick,  R.  I.,  rapid  strides  are 
being  made  by  the  Pierson  U-Bar  folks 
in  the  building  of  a  fine  range  for 
Senator  Aldrich.  Supt.  Greene  says  they 
cannot  be  built  too  soon  to  suit  him. 
We  shall  see  great  crops  of  orchard 
house  fruit  grown  here.  Manager 
Burke,  of  the  Warwick  Greenhouses,  who 
does  most  of  the  planting  on  the  island, 
says  he  does  not  remember  so  late  a 
season  for  planting.  It  has  helped  the 
nurseryman  to  catch  up  with  his  orders, 
but  the  gardener  will  be  late  with  early 
vegetables. 

As  a  proof  of  the  hardiness  of 
Azalea  amoena,  E.  W.  Clark,  of  New 
London,  Conn.,  pointed  out  a  large  speci- 


men that  has  stood  several  years  in  a 
sheltered  corner,  while  hardy  rhododen 
drons  near-by  were  partially  killed. 

Friends  of  Rennie  &  Thomson,  ot" 
Providence,  R.  I.,  will  regret  to  learn 
that  this  young  firm  has  been  forced  to 
liquidate.  The  chief  reason  was  un 
favorable  location.  They  fitted  up  an 
up-to-date  place,  but  it  was  a  case  of 
Mohammed  going  to  the  mountain  an<i 
not  bringing  the  mountain  to  Mohammed 
At  present  their  plans  as  to  the  future 
are  not  formed.  W.  M. 


Hareisburg,  Pa. — The  building  occu 
pied  by  John  A.  Kepner,  at  33  and  3" 
North  Second  street,  is  being  improve' ■

MoLiNE,  III. — ^Work  has  been  starteil 
by  Contractor  H.  C.  Quade  upon  a  fine 
new  brick  building  for  William  Knees 
at  1827  Fifteenth  street.  It  will  b« 
used  as  an  oflSce  and  store  and  will  b( 
modern  in  every  particular.  On  thu 
same  lot  Mr.  Knees  will  erect  a  first

Seed  Trade  News. 


AHEBIGIN  8KBD  TBADB  ASSOCIATION. 

Pros.,  Henry  W.  Wood,  Richmond,  Va.;  Plrst 
ce-Pres.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo,  O.;  Sec'y  and 
^«ttg.,  C.  B.  Kendel,  Cleveland.  The  26th  annual 
setlnr  1ft  ill  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1907 


The  general  outlook  for  the  seed 
:  rowing  industry  in  Germany  this  season 
<;.  said  to  be  not  encouraging. 

An  increase  of  the  radish  •  acreage  in 
Michigan  is  reported.  This  will  make 
^•ood  in  part  for  decreases  elsewhere. 

Eaely  Scarlet  Globe  radish  is  one  of 
the  every-day  items  on  the  list  of  the 
^;eedsmen  doing  business  with  market  gar- 
deners. 

The  McMillan  Seed  Co.,  Atlanta,  Ga., 
reports  the  largest  business  in  its  his- 
tory this  season.  The  truck  farming 
trade  is  its  principal  item. 

A  SMALL  demand  for  seed  of  the  Globe 
varieties  of  onion  has  developed  and  an 
increased  demand  is  expected  during  the 
first  ten  days  of  May.  After  that  date 
little  demand  can  be  expected. 

The  pea  and  bean  growers  are  not 
making  reports  freely,  but  it  is  under- 
stood that  sufficient  acreages  have  been 
secured  for  the  coming  year's  plantings 
and  that  there  is  general  satisfaction  all 
around. 

A  SKIRMISH  for  onion  seed  in  a  small 
way  by  some  of  the  set  growers  is  a 
feature  of  the  week.  Seed  of  sixty-five 
per  cent  test  has  been  taken  and  seem- 
ingly is  considered  as  good  as  can  be 
procured. 

The  origin  of  Zvolanek's  winter- 
flowering  sweet  peas  is  worrying  some  of 
our  friends  in  England.  American 
growers  are  too  well  content  with  the 
result  to  spend  much  time  debating  on 
the  cause. 

Wholesalers  report  fill-in  business 
for  April  not  up  to  the  mark,  but  the 
increase  of  March,  1907,  over  1906  will 
still  leave  a  margin  of  increase  favoring 
1907  for  the  full  season,  if  May  will  do 
what  is  expected  from  it. 

W.  Atlee  Burpee,  Philadelphia,  sails 
June  1,  for  Europe,  intending  to  spend 
three  months  in  visiting  the  seed  grow- 
ing districts.  Howard  M.  Earle's  plans 
are  not  yet  completed,  but  the  firm  will 
cover  its  usual  territory  this  summer. 

8.  Groot,  of  Sluis  &  Groot,  growers 
of  seeds  at  Enkhuizen,  Holland,  is  vis- 
iting the  trade  in  the  United  States.  He 
recently  visited  the  growers  on  the  Pa- 
cific coast  and  reports  everyone  there 
making  the  best  of  a  most  unfavorable 
season. 

Market  gardeners  generally  have  ad- 
justed their  plans  to  suit  the  freakish 
weather  and  are  now  beginning  to  call 
for  seasonable  seed  supplies.  It  is 
thought  that  a  sufficient  increase  in  this 
line  during  May  will  make  good  the 
April  deficiency. 

Beports  as  to  counter  trade  and  mail 
trade  vary.  From  some  points  it  is 
stated  that  trade  in  both  lines  is  good; 
others  say  business  is  much  less  than 
what  it  should  be.  It  is  the  same  old 
story  everywhere;  the  weather  has  all  to 
do  with  it  and  the  average  of  the  year 
will  compare  favorably  with  other  years.

The  tulip  fields  in  Holland  are  just  in 
their  prime  and  cable  advices  to  Amer- 
ican representatives  indicate  a  fine  flow- 
ering season.  Hyacinths  made  a  good 
show  a  fortnight  ago.  It  is  stated  that 
the  acreage  of  tulips  is  somewhat  re- 
duced this  year. 

The  ground  is  being  prepared  for 
planting  in  the  vicinity  of  Sheboygan, 
Mich.,  and  as  soon  as  the  weather  moder- 
ates planting  will  begin.  R.  T.  Edwards, 
who  looks  after  the  interests  of  Keeney 
&  Sons  at  Sheboygan,  says  his  firm  will 
plant  600  acres  of  peas  in  addition  to  the 
acreage  contracted  with  farmers. 

The  Barteldes  Seed  Co.,  of  Denver, 
has  issued  a  neat  booklet  entitled  "Al- 
falfa, Its  Uses  and  Culture."  In  the 
foreword  it  is  said :  "  In  presenting  this

There  are  more  encouraging  reports 
as  to  the  prospects  for  sweet  pea  crops 
in  the  Santa  Clara  valley. 

The  Civic  Improvement  League,  of 
Denison,  Tex.,  has  recently  completed  a 
free  seed  distribution  to  the  children  of 
the  public  schools. 

C.  G.  Van  Tubergen,  Jr.,  Haarlem, 
Holland,  will  shortly  distribute  stock  of 
a  new  freesia,  a  cross  between  refracta 
alba  and  Armstrong!.     The  color  is  pink. 

The  Alaska  pea  is  planted  almost  ex- 
clusively in  the  south.  It  is  stated  this 
year's  acreage  is  below  normal  on  ac- 
count of  scarcity  and  increased  cost  of 
seed. 

The  Ebbert  Seed  Co.,  Rocky  Ford, 
Colo.,  is  not  a  corporation,  but  is  con- 
ducted by  H.  Van  Buakirk  and  R.  S. 
Beall.  They  have  been  in  business  about 
three  years. 

Chicago: — The  onion  set  growers  here 
are  having  a  hard  time  in  getting  their 
seed  planted.  The  weather  is  cold,  and 
on  the  low  clay  ground  the  soil  does  not 
dry  out  suflSciently  between  rains  to  per- 
mit working  it  up  for  seeding.  There  is 
yet  ten  days,  however,  before  it  will  be 
too  late  for  safe  planting  and  the  grow- 
ers hope  that  favorable  conditions  will 
give  them  a  chance  to  utilize  these  days 
to  good  advantage.

TRADE  IN  HOLLAND  BULBS. 

Murillo  tulips  are  freely  selling  in 
England  at  60  shillings,  Yellow  Prince 
at  26  shillings,  La  Eeine  at  24  shillings 
and  so  on,  and  these  figures  are  likely 
to  be  considerably  advanced  in  the  near 
future.  A  much  larger  demand  and  the 
booking  of  some  heavy  orders  are  re- 
ported by  travelers  returning  from 
America.  In  conversation  with  a  traveler 
recently  returned  from  Scandinavia  I 
was  informed  that  the  sales  in  that  re- 
gion constitute  almost  a  record  and  at 
high  prices.  And  on  a  recent  prospect- 
ing journey  into  the  new  cultivations  re- 
cently opened  in  the  north  of  Haarlem, 
I  found  that  an  immense  demand  from 
this  new  district  will  be  experienced  this 
year.  Many  acres  that  have  never  pre- 
viously grown  anything  but  vegetables 
are  proposed  to  be  planted  principally 
with  tulips.     Then  again,  on  account  of

Holland  auction  and  private  sales  at 
home,  many  of  the  small  firms  will  not 
trouble  to  travel  at  all,  but  will  rather

a  generally  accepted  fact  that  the  larger

therefore  many  of  them,  rather  than  sell

greatly  increase  their  stock.  It  is  the

in  Holland  is  probably  larger  than  ever 
before,  the  quantity  available  for  ex- 
port, in  comparison  with  the  increased 
demand,  is  much  below  the  average. 

All  these  circumstances  combined  have 
brought  the  values  up  to  their  present 
level,  and  it  is  probable  that,  before  the 
end  of  this  year's  shipment  is  in  sight, 
there  will  bo  some  almost  record  prices, 
especially  for  forcing  tulips.  The  future 
of  the  general  bulb  trade  for  at  least  the 
next  four  years  is  probably  the  brightest 
it  has  been  for  a  long  time.  At  the  end 
of  that  period  it  is  possible  prices  will 
come  down  with  a  run,  unless  new  mar- 
kets or  an  exceptionally  increased  uni- 
versal demand  shall  be  sufficient  to  take 
the  immensely  increased  stocks  which 
must  be  on  the  export  market  about  that 
time.  B.  J.

The  same  remarks  apply  also  to  mangels. 
Turnips  look  like  producing  an  average 
plant,  •while  garden  beets  and  swiss 
chards  have  distinguished  themselves  by 
coming   through   ■well. 

Quite  two-thirds  of  our  pansy  plants, 
an  important  item,  have  perished,  while 
hollyhocks,  Bellis  perennis,  digitalis, 
etc.,  have  disappeared  completely.  Myo- 
sotis  and  Campanula  Medium  have 
come  through  all  right,  and  single  wall- 
flowers looked  strong  up  to  the  end  of 
February,  but  the  east  wind  has  since 
caused  half  the  plants  to  collapse.  Per- 
ennials also  have  suffered. 

Quedlinburs  District. 

Winter  lasted  considerably  longer 
than  usual,  and  rendered  the  sowing  and 
planting  of  the  early  articles  very  late. 
No  work  of  this  kind  could  be  done  be- 
fore March  25,  when  the  weather  turned 
dry  and  warm.  Numerous  biennials  and 
perennials  that  in  consequence  of  the 
mild  autumn  were  far  advanced  and 
looked  well  up  to  January  20,  were  for 
the  most  part  destroyed  by  the  severe 
frost  the  latter  part  of  January,  when 
there  was  no  snow  to  cover  the  ground. 
Spinach  and  larkspurs  were  completely 
killed  by  frost.  Cabbages,  kohlrabi, 
turnips,  swedes,  leek,  parsley,  daisies, 
forget-me-not,  pansies,  hollyhocks,  etc., 
suffered  considerably. 

This  season's  trade,  on  the  whole, 
may  be  considered  as  satisfactory.  WhUe 
prices  in  general  ruled  low,  an  increase 
of  the  quantity  of  the  seed  sold  has  been 
noted  in  comparison  with  previous  sea- 
son, and  there  will  be  little  surplus. 

Round-seeded  peas  did  not  suffice  for 
the  demand,  and  wrinkled  varieties,  with

leek,  parsley,  etc.,  did  not  sell  so  well  as 
usual.  Onions,  except  Giant  Yellovr  Zit- 
tau,  did  not  cover  the  demand.  Kadishes 
met  Avith  an  unusually  brisk  demand. 
The  largest  demand  was  for  the  White- 
tipped  Rose  Turnip,  French  Breakfast, 
Ne  Plus  Ultra,  Scarlet  Turnip,  Long 
Scarlet,  Long  Rose,  and  Long  White 
Icicle,  of  which  the  supply,  though  im- 
portant, did  not  nearly  cover  the  de- 
mand. Cucumbers,  endives,  lettuce,  par- 
snip, spinach  and  some  herbs  were  sold 
out  before  the  end  of  the  season.  Tur- 
nips went  slowly  the  first  of  the  season, 
but  the  demand  increased  toward  the 
end.     Farm  seeds  are  well  cleaned  up. 

The  demand  has  increased  notably  for 
the  finer  sorts  of  flower  seeds,  and  many 
sorts,  chiefly  the  finer  asters,  did  not 
nearly  equal  the  demand.  It  has  been 
noted  that  the  Triumph  of  the  Giant 
pansy,  raised  and  introduced  some  years 
ago  by  Henry  Mette,  has  taken  the  lead 
of  all  pansies  hitherto  known  as  among 
the  finest  in  the  world.

The  32(1  annual  convention  will  be  held  at  De- 
troit, Mich.,  June,  1907. 


Nurserymen  will  find  much  of  inter- 
est in  the  weekly  department  headed 
"The  Pacific  Coast." 

Nelson  Bogue,  of  Batavia,  N.  Y., 
reports  a  large  season's  business,  with 
an  especial  demand  for  apple  trees,  well 
grown  and  of  the  finer  varieties. 

The  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
has  issued  a  bulletin,  No.  101  of  the  bu- 
reau of  chemistry,  entitled  "The  Lime 
Sulphur  Salt  Wash  and  Its  Substitutes," 
which  will  be  of  interest  to  those  en- 
gaged in  combating  scale. 

The  Lakeside  Floral  Co.,  Houghton, 
Mich.,  will  plant  a  considerable  quan- 
tity of  nursery  stock  at  the  neighboring 
town  of  Chassell.  Both  fruits  and  or- 
namentals will  be  grown,  but  only  the 
hardiest  stock  is  adapted  to  the  locality, 
where  the  planting  season  does  not  open 
until  May. 

Baker  Bros.  &  Co.,  dealers  in  nur- 
sery stock  and  horticultural  supplies  at 
Fort  Worth,  Tex.,  have  incorporated  and 
filed  papers  with  the  secretary  of  state 
for  $40,000  capital  stock.  The  company 
has  an  office  at  505  Houston  street  and 
three  divisions  of  its  nursery  stock  east 
of  the  city,  at  Eiverside.  J.  B.  Phia 
and  William  J.  Baker  are  the  incorpo- 
rators. 

G.  Champion,  of  Toronto,  has  been 
appointed  park  superintendent  at  Winni- 
peg, Manitoba.  Mr.  Champion  is  an 
Englishman,  was  born  in  1870,  and  has 
had  a  lifelong  experience  in  the  profes- 
sion in  England  and  Canada.  He  was 
apprenticed  at  Frampton  Court,  Dorset, 
England,  under  T.  Pullman,  who  is  now 
superintendent  of  Richmond  Great  Park, 
Surrey,   England. 


A  GOOD  SEASON. 

The  season  for  the  shipment  of  nur- 
sery stock,  except  some  few  specialties, 
now  is  drawing  rapidly  to  a  close.  With 
the  southern,  and  especially  the  south- 
western, nurserymen  the  season  was  ear- 
lier and  shorter  than  usual.  But  with 
the  northern  nurserymen  it  has  been 
longer  than  the  average  and  especially 
favorable  for  handling  a  large  volume 
of  business.  The  heat  wave  of  April 
caused  alarm  for  fear  that  it  would  start 
growth  prematurely,  but  the  change  to

Nothing  finer  for  borders  or  cemetery  planting.

were  excellent.  The  wholesale  nursery- 
men report  excellent  clearing  out  in  all 
departments.  They  nearly  all  had  a 
record  season,  and  in  a  retail  way  the 
trade  has  been  equally  good.  There  has 
been  another  marked  increase  in  the  busi- 
ness done  in  ornamental  stock,  especially 
shrubs.  Prices  have  averaged  a  little

SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS. 


English  Ivy. 

There  are  few  things  more  easily  dis- 
)osed  of  than  English  ivy,  and  usually 
he  price  obtained  makes  its  cultivation 
'8  profitable  as  most  things  grown.  Eng- 
ish  ivy  is  seldom,  if  ever,  in  oversup- 
»ly  and  perhaps  the  reason  why  so  many 
>lants  are  used  is  that  private  garden- 
n  are  just  finding  out  to  what  innum- 
erable   uses    it    can    advantageously    be 


put.  Some  ye.'irs  ago  this  ivy  was  used 
principally  in  the  attempt  to  cover  build- 
ings and  for  cemetery  work.  Now  there 
are  hundreds  of  thousands  planted  every 
spring  in  border  work  and  beds. 

Ivy  will  root  much  quicker  in  the 
month  of  August  than  later.  A  good 
method  is  to  put  all  the  cuttings  ob- 
tainable in  frames  to  root  during  the 
month  stated.  Root  quickly  as  they  will 
then,  they  may  be  potted  at  leisure.  It 
will  be  found  that  cuttings  put  in  in 
September  and  October  will  not  only  take 
much  longer  to  root  but  will  fail  to 
make  as  good  stock  eventually.  When 
cuttings  are  put  in  frames  at  the  time 
suggested  shade  will  have  to  be  provided 
in  the  way  of  something  movable,  for 
when  the  cuttings  are  soft  they  are  eas- 
ily damaged. 

Fcucgloves. 

Foxglove  is  one  of  the  many  good 
things  that  will  not  flower  the  first  year 
from   seed.      Seed    sown   in    spring   will 


give  good,  strong  plants  for  flowering 
the  following  year.  The  seedlings,  when 
large  enough  to  handle,  should  be  trans- 
planted with  room  enough  for  them  to 
grow  into  good,  strong  plants.  A  cover- 
ing  of  leaves  or  strawy  manure  will  pro- 
tect tnem  during  the  winter.  Foxgloves 
make  a  gorgeous  appearance  when  in 
bloom.  They  are  especially  effective 
when  planted  in  masses,  but  are  none 
the.  less  valuable  for  planting  in  the 
hardy  borders  and  in  shrubberies. 

Hollyhocks. 

When  possible,  hollyhocks  should  be 
grown  in  pots  from  the  time  they  are 
first  moved  out  of  the  seed  flats.  They 
are  more  easily  handled  when  shipping, 
and  they  give  better  satisfaction  to  cus- 
tomers than  plants  lifted  out  of  the  open 
ground  or  out  of  flats.  Hollyhocks  show- 
ing signs  of  rust  on  the  leaves  should  not 
be  sold  or  planted.  If  they  are  planted, 
they  will  never  amount  to  anything. 
Hollyhock  seed  should  be  sown  as  soon

IVY 


in  the  autumn  as  the  seed  of  that  season 
is  ripe,  and  grown  on  without  a  percep- 
tible check.  If  the  plants  are  grown 
right  along  moderately  cool  there  is  lit- 
tle danger  of  rust  attacking  them. 

Storage. 

There  is  not  the  least  doubt  of  the 
practical  value  and  advantages  of  a  cold 
storage  house  in  connection  with  a  nurs- 
ery, and  such  a  house  in  the  spring  and 
early  summer  would  be  found  especially 
serviceable  to  nurserymen  who  every 
year  are  in  the  way  of  receiving  orders 
for  fruit  trees,  shrubs  and  other  decidu- 
ous trees  when  it  would  be  too  late  to 
ship  if  the  stock  had  to  be  dug  then, 
out  of  the  open  ground.  The  utility  of 
a  cold  storage  house,  as  many  are  well 
aware,  is  by  no  means  confined  to  the 
spring  sales.  Such  a  house  is  invaluable 
for  the  accommodation  of  bay  trees, 
hydrangeas  and  a  hundred  other  things 
in  winter  that  keep  well  in  such  quar- 
ters, i^'  ^' 


DEUTZIAS. 


For  showy  blossoms  in  early  summer, 
few  shrubs  excel  the  deutzias.  The 
flower  clusters,  which  are  usually  white, 
are  displayed  so  prominently  and  with 
such  profuse  prodigality,  springing  from 
the  young  wood  of  the  previous  year's 
growth,  that  they  are  especially  desirable 
for  the  embellishment  of  home  grounds. 
The  flowers  do  not  last  long  when  cut, 
but  their  showy  effect,  with  their  grace- 
fully arching  sprays,  is  well  worth  en- 
joying. Most  of  the  species  respond 
readily  to  cultivation  in  any  fairly  good 
soil,  when  it  is  well  drained.  Many  of 
the  best  kinds  are  hardy  even  in  the 
New  England  states. 

Deutzias  should  be  pruned  any  time 
after  the  leaves  have  fallen,  in  the  late 
autumn  or  during  the  winter.  The 
young  wood  of  the  previous  year's 
growth  must  not  be  cut  back,  but  the  old 
flowering  sprays  should  be  removed  and 
weak,  spindling  wood  and  decrepit 
branches  cut  out.  The  plants  appear 
to  be  remarkably  free  from  the  attacks 
of  insect  pests. 

The  National  Council  of  Horticulture 
says  it  is  unfortunate  that  shrubs  de- 
serving popularity  as  much  as  do  the 
deutzias  have  no  simple  English  name. 
Deutzia  gracilis,  a  native  of  Japan,  is  a 
low,  neat  growing  shrub  seldom  over 
two  feet  and  a  half  high,  with  branches

t<lightly  arching,  from  which  panicles  of 
white  blossoms  are  abundantly  produced. 
It  comes  into  bloom  the  first  week  in 
•lune.  It  is  well  adapted  for  planting 
in  the  foreground  of  tall  shrubs  of  similar 
iiabit  and  for  massing  and  grouping  at 
'lie  foundations  of  buildings,  where  tall 
shrubs  cannot  be  used.

lorthern  China  and  the  Amoor  country. 
it  is  one  of  the  hardiest  species  and

gracilis.  The  corymbs,  or  convex,  fiat- 
'ish  clusters  of  white  flowers,  are  pro- 
'luced  in  great  profusion,  frequently  ex- 
tending for  several  feet  above  the  stems. 
The  plant  grows  from  five  to  seven  feet. 
The  upright,  stout  branches  are  covered 
"With  a  brownish  yellow  bark,  which  is

BED  FOR  CANNAS.  ^ 

In  making  a  canna  bed  I  have  dug 
the  soil  out  to  about  eighteen  inches 
deep,  filling  the  bottom  ten  inches  with 
well-rotted  manure,  the  remainder  being 
filled  with  woods  earth  and  well-rotted 
sod.  By  woods  earth  I  mean  rotted 
leaves,  wood,  soil,  etc.,  mixed  as  it  is 
found  in  a  natural  state.  Please  tell  me 
if  there  is  a  better  compost  and  what 
it  is.  F.  B.  F. 


It  would  have  been  much  better  to 
have  prepared  a  compost  of  well-rotted 
pasture  sod  or  good  garden  loam,  mixed 
with  well-decayed  barnyard  manure  in 
the  proportion  of  two  of  the  former  to 
one  of  the  latter.  Cannas  like  a  warm, 
moist  and  rich   soil,  but   ten   inches   of 


solid  manure  is  neither  necessary  nor 
desirable  and  would  probably  prove  hurt- 
ful. There  is  little  virtue  in  what  is 
known  as  woods  earth  for  cannas.  It 
does  well  for  lightening  the  soil  for  small 
plants  in  pots,  or  for  ferns,  but  cannas 
need  something  stronger.  The  compost 
formed  of  decaying  wood  is  liable  to  be 
full  of  fungus  spores  and  cannot  be 
recommended  for  any  purpose.  Leaf- 
mold,  of  course,  is  invaluable  for  many 
plants.  We  would  advise  removing  some 
of  the  manure  and  substituting  more  sod 
and  Tvell  incorporating  the  two  before 
planting  the  bed.  C.  W.

PACIFIC  COAST. 


The  nursery  of  the  Santa  Barbara 
Nursery  Co.,  Santa  Barbara,  Cal.,  is  at 
Goleta,  seven  miles  west  of  the  city. 


A  VETERAN. 


E.  D.  Fox  entered  the  field  at  San 
Jose,  Cal.,  nearly  forty  years  ago  and 
since  that  time  his  nurseries  have  be- 
come known  to  growers  in  all  parts  of 
the  Pacific  coast.  His  nurseries  are  lo- 
cated at  Wayne  station,  a  short  distance 
from  San  Jose,  on  the  Milpitas  road, 
his  sales  yard  and  oflSce  being  at  153 
Park  avenue.  At  present  Mr.  Pox  has 
130  acres  devoted  to  fruit  and  orna- 
mental trees,  one  of  the  largest  any- 
where in  the  west.  He  makes  a  spe- 
cialty of  peach,  pear  and  other  fruits 
and  palms.  Mr.  Fox  is  said  to  be  the 
oldest  established  nurseryman  in  the  en- 
tire state. 

A  DISCOURAGING  SEASON 

The  long  continued  rainy  weather  has 
made  a  short  spring  for  tue  plant  deal- 
ers, and  now,  with  the  advent  of  consid- 
erable warm  weather,  everything  has 
leaped  out  so  freely  that  the  planting 
season  is  practically  over.  I  refer  here, 
of  course,  to  stock  that  has  to  be  han- 
dled at  a  certain  season  or  let  grow  until 
another  year.  March  is  our  best  month 
for  retail  orders  and  as  at  that  time  we 
were  almost  entirely  flooded  by  the  in- 
cessant rains,  we  had  to  wait  for  April, 
and  by  that  time  the  showers  ceased,  the 
sun  came  out  in  great  fury,  high  north 
winds  blew  and  in  a  few  days  the  sur- 
face of  the  ground  was  baked  hard  and 
all  the  trees  were  in  leaf.  This  is  a  repe- 
tition of  last  season's  features,  and 
they  are  rather  discouraging  to  small 
growers,  who  do  not  get  much  of  a 
chance  to  dispose  of  their  wares  after 
May  1,  with  the  exception  of  bedding 
and   soft-wooded   stock. 

The  wholesale  nurserymen  usually  have 
their  season  from  December  to  April  1, 
and  the  retailers  after  that  date,  and  al- 
though the  demand  on  almost  all  lines 
has  been  heavy,  the  deliveries  in  a  great 
many  cases  have  not  proven  so  well. 

This  has  been  rather  unfortunate,  as 
we  experienced  the  same  trouble  last 
year,  in  which,  although  the  heavy  rain- 
fall came  earlier  in  the  season,  it  lasted 
almost  as  long,  with  the  same  results  we 
had  this  season.  These  conditions  refer 
to  California  in  the  vicinity  of  San 
Francisco,  and  not  either  at  the  extreme 
north  or  at  the  southern  portion  of  this 
coast. 

It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  when  a 
heavy  or  continuous  rainfall  is  followed 
by  a  few  days  or  wecKS  of  dry  weather, 
the  surface  of  the  ground  hardens  on  top 
and  rapidly  dries  out.  This,  unless  given 
considerable  working,  finally  dries  down- 
ward for  several  inches,  so  that  the  pros- 
pective planter  concludes  to  wait  until 
next  season  before  he  improves  his  gar- 
den. 

Where  the  ground  is  sandy,  it  does  not 
crust  so  effectively  on  the  surface,  but  it 
dries  out  just  the  same  and  requires 
much  more  additional  irrigating  to  put  it 
in  order  for  the  growing  of  plants. 

In  large  grounds  and  parks,  where  fa- 
cilities are  at  hand  to  plant  at  any  time, 
the  present  climatic  conditions  do  not 
make  much  difference,  but  to  the  general

Business  in  a  general  way  can  be  de-

been  having,  and  the  spring  crop  is  now

Business  is  still  slow  among  the  re-

ble. We  have  had  warm  days  and  cold 
days,  as  well  as  rainy  days.  Under  such 
conditions  stock  is  not  coming  in  as  heav- 
ily as  it  should. 

Carnations  last  week  cleane.d  up  fairly 
well.  There  was  little  trouble  in  dispos- 
ing of  roses,  while  violets  are  getting 
scarce.  Bulbous  stock  still  hangs  on. 
American  Beauties  are  well  up  in  supply 
and  sold  at  a  fair  price.  However,  there 
is  little  demand  for  them,  except  among 
the  street  boys,  who  are  offering  all  kinds 
of  cut  flowers  at  greatly  reduced  prices. 
Greens  of  all  kinds  are  scarce.

NEWPORT,  R.  I. 


Current  G>tninent. 

The  spring  work  is  now  in  full  swing 
in  every  department  of  horticulture  and 
agriculture.  The  nurserymen  are  busy 
delivering  trees  and  the  various  other 
kinds  of  stock  planted  at  this  time  of 
the  year.  V.  A.  Vanicek,  of  the  Rhode 
Island  Nurseries,  reports  heavier  demands 
for  April  than  usual  in  many  lines  of 
stock,  especially  medium  sizes  of  ever- 
greens and  hydrangeas. 

Oscar  Schultz  is  building  two  houses, 
one  20x100  for  bedding  plants,  and  an- 
other 30x150  for  palms.  Mr.  Schultz  is 
doing  a  good  business  in  nursery  stock, 
in  addition  to  his  usual  trade  in  general 
bedding  stock. 

There  is  already  a  noticeable  change  in 
the  appearance  of  things  at  the  Newport 
Nursery,  since  F,  M.  Smythe  secured  con- 
trol of  that  property.  Waldemar  Barth 
has  been  retained  in  the  employment  of 
the  new  owners.  Mr.  Barth  is  one  of 
the  most  versatile  of  Newport  horticul- 
turists and  should  be  invaluable  to  Wad- 
ley  &  Smythe,  considering  their  varied 
interests. 

James  Murray,  who  is  still  in  the  hos- 
pital, but  is  mending,  has  resigned  his 
position  as  gardener  for  Henry  Clews,  in 
whose  employ  he  was  for  nearly  twenty 
years. 

Many  Newport  gardeners  are  com- 
plaining of  the  small  percentage  of  ger- 
mination of  salvia  seed  this  spring.  Bon- 
fire was  especially  disappointing  in  that 
respect. 

In  Newport  the  Lombardy  poplar  is 
much  used  in  planting  because  of  the 
rapidity  of  its  effect,  and  it  thrives  re- 
markably well  where  the  salt  spray  does 
not  reach  it,  but  on  one  place  situated 
near  the  ocean,  where  a  great  number 
were  planted,  they  are  all  dead  this 
spring. 

Joseph  Leikens,  who  has  a  store  in  the 
Downing  block,  on  Bellevue  avenue,  was 
here  last  week  putting  things  in  motion 
for  resuming  business  for  the  summer. 

Eobert  Hunnick  is  row  superintendent 
of  Rough  Point  for  the  new  owner,  W. 
B.  Leeds.  There  were  no  greenhouses 
at  Rough  Point  during  its  occupancy  by 
P.  W.  Vanderbilt,  but  it  is  understood 
that  Mr.  Leeds  has  intimated  his  inten- 
tion of  building  a  range  of  glass  on 
ground  adjacent  to  the  estate  on  the 
cliffs. 

Among  the  most  magnificent  places  on 
the  Island  will  soon  be  Oakland  Farm, 
the  estate  of  Alfred  G.  Vanderbilt,  in 
Portsmouth.  Mr.  Adam,  the  gardener, 
has  made  great  changes  and  improve- 
ments lately.  Max  Reillt.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


May  2,  1907. 


DENVER. 

The  Market* 

There  has  been  little  change  in  market 
conditions  the  last  two  or  three  weeks. 
Stock  is  fairly  plentiful,  especially  roses 
and  carnations,  the  demand  being  good, 
although  the  storm  of  last  week  may  have 
slackened  it  a  trifle.  Little  salable  stock 
is  left  on  hand.  The  quality  in  some 
cases  is  a  little  bit  off. 

Carnations,  some  of  the  growers  seem 
to  think,  will  be  coming  in  more  heavily 
by  the  end  of  the  week,  as  it  is  good 
stock  and  is  bringing  2  cents  and  3  cents. 
Sweet  peas  are  coming  in  more  abun- 
dantly, first-class  stock  with  good  stems 
selling  at  75  cents,  wholesale.  Violets 
have  seen  their  best  days,  owing  to  the 
warm  weather,  and  are  small.  A  few 
more  days  will  see  their  finish. 

Beauties  are  first-class  and  a  good  de- 
maud  for  them  is  noticeable.  Growers 
are  throwing  out  rose  plants  in  both 
American  Beauty  and  tea  sections.  Bride 
and  Bridesmaid  are  particularly  fine  in 
quality,  while  Chatenay  and  Alice  Roose- 
velt hold  their  own  in  fine  shape.  The 
funeral  demand  uses  up  nearly  all  of  the 
short  stock.  Pansies  are  also  in  heavy 
demand  and  selling  well,  both  blooms  and 
plants. 

Lilac  is  something  not  to  be  had  on 
this  market  and,  owing  to  the  last  cold 
spell,  it  is  feared  there  will  be  a  lack  of 
snowballs  and  other  outdoor  flowers  for 
Decoration  day,  most  of  them  being 
frost-bitten.  There  may  be  some  from 
southern  localities  where  they  were  not 
far  enough  advanced  to  be  nipped  when 
the  cold  spell  came  on. 

Various  Notes. 

Ben  Boldt  is  again  in  possession  of  the 
Mud  Lake  Greenhouses,  Mr.  Braidwood 
having  turned  them  back.  Mr.  Boldt  will 
run  both  the  West  Twenty-ninth  street 
houses  and  the  present  ones. 

E.  E.  Petersen  and  his  wife  have  gone 
to  California  for  Mr.  Petersen's  health, 
which  has  been  poor.  His  son,  Ernest, 
will  have  charge  of  the  business  during 
his  absence. 

The  Denver  Florists'  Bowling  League 
closed  the  season  April  22,  after  a  suc- 
cessful run.  Some  good  bowlers  com- 
peted and  the  prize  money  was  well  dis- 
tributed. The  convention  team,  with  N. 
A.  Benson  as  captain,  captured  most  of 
the  prizes,  he  himself  getting  first  money 
for  high,  game  and  second  money  for 
handicap  prize.  Chas.  Benson  won  first 
prize  and  R.  S.  Mahan,  of  the  Alpha 
Floral   Co.,   third  prize. 

Chas.  Benson  is  now  with  the  Mauff 
Greenhouses.  E.  S.  K.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review. 


Mat  2,  1907. 


WESTERLY.  R.  I. 

S.  J.  Keuter  is  a  strong  advocate  of 
good  labor  and  pays  according  to  its 
value.  This  reminds  me  of  a  story  heard 
recently  that  would  seem  to  outdo  Jaggs 
at  his  best,  but  'tis  true,  nevertheless. 
One  of  the  stipulations  called  for  in  a 
recent  engagement  was  that  the  employee 
should  smoke  during  working  hours,  to 
aid  in  fumigation,  and  use  tobacco  that 
was  wrapped  in  silvered  paper,  which 
paper  could  be  saved  for  the  purpose  of 
filling  wire  designs. 

Mr.  Eeuter  says  the  returns  from  his 
advertisements  in  the  Eeview  are  very 
gratifying  and  have  almost  cleaned  him 
out  of  stock,  which  sounds  well,  seeing 
that  he  has  100,000  carnations  in  2-inch 
pots  left,  ready  to  plant  out.  There  are 
thousands  in  3% -inch  pots,  fine  stocky 
plants,  ready  to  plant  into  benches. 
White  Perfection  is  grown  in  large  num- 
bers, but  Queen  Louise  is  considered  the 
best  commercial  white  today.  Lawson, 
both  pink  and  white,  succeeds  well  in 
the  old  range,  as  free  as  ever.  In  roses, 
Killarney  has  produced  the  best  returns 
this  season.  Kaiserin  has  been  in  crop 
from  November  and  is  now  throwing 
heavy  canes.  Owing  to  Killarney  and 
Wellesley  being  grown  in  the  same  house, 
it  was  not  rested  beyond  keeping  dry 
for  about  six  weeks,  which  has  benefited 
it.  Chatenay  is  the  only  variety  that  is 
grown  on  own  roots.  Bride,  Maid,  Kil- 
larney and  Wellesley  are  grafted,  grown 
one  year  on  benches,  then  planted  in 
solid  beds  and  run  for  two  and  three 
years,  giving  excellent  returns. 

Mr.  Renter's  new  house,  35x500  feet, 
will  be  planted,  when  finished,  with  the 
kinds  mentioned.  The  purlin  pipe  is 
also  used  to  carry  the  water  supply;  this 
plan  is  adopted  in  all  the  modern  houses 
and  works  well.  Large  numbers  of  bed- 
ding stock  are  grown  to  supply  the  big 
demand  at  Watch  Hill  and  near-by  sum- 
mer resorts.  The  Whitmani  fern  is  con- 
sidered one  of  the  finest  for  cutting,  but 
not  a  good  pot  plant,  as  it  breaks  out 
from  the  center.  Ficus  pandurata  stands 
the  sun  and  makes  a  handsome  addition 
to  Buptropical  bedding. 

A  western  manure  spreader  is  used 
upon  the  land  and  is  considered  a  per- 
fect machine,  soon  saving  its  cost,  in  ad- 
dition to  doing  the  work  thoroughly. 
Outdoor  planting  of  carnations  began 
April   29.  W.   M. 

Sault  Ste.  Maeie,  Mich.— The  Pries- 
ter  Garden  Co.  has  been  organized  here, 
with  E.  F.  Priester  at  its  head.  The 
company  will  conduct  a  general  nursery 
business.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review^ 


Mat  2,  1907. 


CINCINNATI. 


The  Market. 


A  week  of  the  best  weather  we  have 
had  in  a  long  time  has  not  as  yet  made 
its  effect  known  on  the  quantity  of  stock 
coming  into  this  city,  but  there  ought  to 
be  something  doing  in  that  line  before 
long,  especially  if  this  kind  of  weather 
holds  out.  It  is  so  much  warmer,  and 
we  have  had  so  much  more  sunshine,  that 
it  surely  ought  to  bring  more  flowers. 
Business  is  still  first-class  and  if  it  will 
but  hold  out  for  a  few  weeks  longer,  we 
will  be  more  than  satisfied.  The  way  it 
has  started  off  this  week  would  indicate 
that  the  end  is  not  in  sight,  for  a  while, 
at  least.  The  general  scarcity  of  all 
varieties  of  flowers  still  tends  to  keep 
the  prices  up,  and  in  some  instaBces  they 
were  boosted  again  last  week.  Roses  con- 
tinue fairly  equal  to  the  demand,  but 
when  it  conies  to  carnations  it  is  another 
story.  There  are  not  enough  of  them  to 
come  anywhere  near  taking  care  of  the 
demand.  And  what  is  worse,  from  the 
reports  of  many  growers  it  would  appear 
that  there  will  not  be  many  of  them  for 
some  time  to  come. 

Green  goods  of  all  kinds  are  in  demand 
and  good  ferns  are  scarce,  as  the  cold 
storage  supply  is  about  uSed  up.  Smilax 
is  also  scarce,  but  there  is  a  fair  supply 
of  Asparagus  plumosus  strings. 

Various  Notes. 

Chas.  Knopf,  of  Richmond,  Ind.,  is 
sending  some  fine  Richmond  and  Liberty 
to  this  market.  The  pick  of  them  find  a 
ready  sale  at  $1.50  per  dozen. 

W.  K.  Partridge  is  in  with  a  fine  cut 
of  roses,  and  he  is  one  of  the  few  growers 
who  have  a  good  crop  of  carnations  in 
sight,  to  be  harvested  soon. 

E.  G.  Gillett  was  in  fepringfield,  O., 
Monday. 

Martin  Reukauf,  of  Bayersdorf  er 's, 
Philadelphia,  was  a  caller. 

C.  J.  Ohmer. 


Mansfield,  O. — Peter  Ott,  who  has  his 
headquarters  here,  is  the  chief  florist  of 
the  Baltimore  &  Ohio  railroad  lines  west 
of  the  Ohio  river. 

Saginaw,  Mich. — The  Wm.  Roethke 
Floral  Co.  is  setting  an  example  by  em- 
bellishing the  grounds  around  its  place  at 
Michigan  and  Adams  streets.  The  pub- 
lic seems  to  take  much  interest  in  the 
landscape  work  that  is  being  done  and 
the  prospects  are  that  as  an  advertise- 
ment it  will  be  a  winner.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


Ml.r  2,  1907. 


PITTSBURG. 


The  Market. 


This  week  has  started  in  with  a  good, 
old-fashioned,  warm  spring  day,  which 
will  undoubtedly  bring  stock  along;  and 
it  is  needed,  as  business  showed  consid- 
erable improvement  the  last  week  and 
the  wholesale  houses  cleaned  up  every 
day  at  fair  prices,  with  a  shortage  on 
carnations  every  day.  Boses  also  showed 
an  advance  in  prices. 

Various  Notes. 

On  Thursday,  April  25,  one  of  the 
worst  storms  experienced  in  this  vicin- 
ity struck  our  city  and  reached  out  in 
the  direction  of  Bakerstown,  where  it 
overturned  wagons  and  moved  a  barn 
from  its  foundations.  The  Pittsburg 
Bose  and  Carnation  Co.  had  some  dam- 
age in  the  way  of  broken  glass,  but  Mr. 
Burki  says  that  for  a  time  he  looked 
for  some  of  the  houses  to  go  down. 

The  plantsmen  are  getting  busy,  and  in 
one  instance  a  grower  said  he  had  one 
order  to  plant  at  once.  However,  he 
said  he  expected  to  have  that  order  to 
replant,  as  is  usually  the  case  if  planting 
is  done  as  early  as  May  1  in  this  vicin- 
ity. 

Walter  Carney,  of  J.  B.  Murdoch  & 
Co.,  is  the  proud  father  of  a  twelve- 
pound  boy,  their  first.  He  is  accepting 
congratulations  and  passing  out  a  good 
brand  of  cigars. 

Ed  McCallum,  of  the  Pittsburg  Flo- 
rists' Exchange,  is  getting  up  a  party  to 
go  camping  in  Michigan  in  vacation  time. 

W.  C.  Beckert,  the  seedsman,  is  up 
against  the  real  thing.  The  late  season 
held  things  back  and  this  hot  spell  is 
pushing  them  to  the  limit,  working  night 
and  day. 

Frank  Faulk  is  just  getting  over  an 
illness. 

H.  P.  Joslin,  the  hardy  plant  special- 
ist, has  started  for  the  season  with  the 
Pittsburg  Cut  Flower  Co.  He  is  now 
cutting  fine  narcissi  and  expects  to  have 
Spanish  iris  in  a  short  time. 

Hoo-Hoo. 


Pekin,  III. — The  pupils  of  the  Mis- 
sion Sunday  school,  who  are  soon  to  en- 
gage in  a  flower  contest,  listened  Sun- 
day morning,  April  21,  to  an  interest- 
ing talk  by  E.  B.  Alexander  on  the 
preparation  of  flower  beds  and  the  cul- 
tivation of  plants.  The  seeds  and  prizes 
for  the  Mission  contest  are  furnished  by 
the  Outdoor  Art  League.  The  flower 
beds  are  to  be  four  feet  in  diameter 
and  prizes  of  $2,  $1  and  50  cents  will  be 
given  for  the  best  display  of  flowers  by 
each  family.  There  will  also  be  special 
prizes.

Vegetable  Forcing. 


There  were  heavy  snow  flurries  in  the 
Chicago  market  gardening  district  April 
25. 

Will  some  reader  please  tell  some  of 
the  reasons  why  Grand  Rapids  lettuce 
seed  from  the  same  lot  produces  such 
variable  results,  even  when  planted  for 
successive  crops  by  the  same  grower? 

No  vegetable  seed  will  decay  quicker 
than  beans,  and  the  delay  caused  in  wait- 
ing for  the  soil  to  become  warm  and  free 
from  excessive  moisture  will  be  more 
than  made  up  by  the  rapidity  dt  growth 
when  they  are  tinally  planted. 

The  lettuce  growers  in  the  vicinity  of 
Chicago  have  had  an  excellent  season. 
Good  lettuce  has  brought  uniformly 
satisfactory  prices,  and  the  market  has 
thus  far  suffered  less  than  usual  from 
the  competition  of  outdoor  stock  from 
the  south. 

The  cold  weather  of  April  ruined  a 
large  part  of  the  crop  of  radishes  in 
open  ground  the  growers  in  the  warm, 
sandy  loam  north  of  Chicago  usually 
have  ready  for  market  by  this  date. 
They  did  not  replant,  as  the  crop  would 
come  in  with  the  later  product  on  the 
heavy  land  back  from  the  lake.

easy.  Mint  scarce.  Radishes  dull  and

75c  to  $1  doz.  bunches;  radishes,  $1.50 
to  $2  per  hundred  bunches;  rhubarb, 
$3  to  $6  per  hundred  bunches. 


FORaNG  LETTUCE. 

More  failures  in  growing  lettuce  under 
glass  can  be  traced  to  unsuitable  soil 
than  any  other  one  cause.  A  good  soil 
for  lettuce  should  be  rich,  mellow  turfy 
loam  and  of  a  somewhat  sandy  charac- 
ter. Head  lettuce  requires  a  lighter  soil 
than  the  loose  or  leafy  varieties.  All 
heavy  clay  soils  should  be  avoided.  A 
good  compost  for  lettuce  is  composed  of 
three  parts  of  well-rotted  sod  mixed  with 
one  part  of  thoroughly  rotted  cow  or 
stable  manure  and  enough  sand  to  make 
it  gritty. 

As  to  beds,  lettuce  can  best  be  grown 
in  solid  beds  because  the  moisture  can 
be  maintained  more  uniformly  at  the 
roots,  also  the  temperature  of  the  bed  is 
always  cool.  Where  benches  only  are 
available  we  must  make  the  best  of  it. 
To  grow  the  first  crop,  or  that  which 
comes  into  maturity  about  Thanksgiving, 


will  taKC  from  eight  to  ten  weeks.  The 
crop  that  comes  in  about  midwinter  re- 
quires two  to  four  weeks  longer.  Vari- 
ous sowings  must  be  made  to  keej)  up 
a  steaily  supply.  Make  a  sowing  every 
ten  days  or  two  weeks  and  transfer  the 
young  plants  to  the  bed  as  space  is  af- 
forded. 

The  most  profitable  variety  to  grow 
will  depend  entirely  on  the  market  avail- 
able, it  is  difficult  to  give  advice  as  to 
the  best  varieties,  as  conditions  vary 
widely  in  different  sections  of  the  coun- 
try. If  head  lettuce  is  required,  Boston 
Market  still  holds  its  own.  If  loose  or 
leafy  lettuce  is  wanted.  Grand  Rapids  is 
the  one  most  generally  grown. 


SIZE  OF  GREENHOUSES. 

Is  there  any  difference  in  time  of 
growing  a  crop  of  lettuce  in  a  wide 
greenhouse,  with  side  walls  five  or  six 
feet  high,  and  fifteen  or  sixteen  feet 
to  the  ridge,  as  compared  with  a  house 
eighteen  or  twenty  feet  wide,  with  side 
walls  two  and  one-half  to  three  feet  high 
and  six  or  seven  feet  to  the  ridge,  on 
solid  benches?  If  there  is  any  differ- 
ence in  time  or.  in  quality  of  crop,  what 
is  it?  E.  B. 


I  do  not  consider  that  the  size  of  the 
greenhouse  makes  any  material  differ- 
ence in  the  time  required  to  mature  the 
crop,  providing  that  the  houses  have 
an  equal  amount  of  light.  If  either  of 
the  houses  is  darker  than  the  other,  then 
the  lignter  house  would  have  the  advan- 
tage, light  being  the  most  effective 
agency  in  controlling  the  growth  of  the 
crop.  In  the  lighter  house  your  crop 
would  probably  mature  several  days 
earlier.  Given  the  same  amount  of 
light,  the  only  other  advantage  would 
be  with  the  larger  house,  in  having  more 
air  space;  this  would  make  it  less  sus- 
ceptible to  sudden  fluctuations  of  tem- 
perature, the  larger  body  of  air  not  be- 
ing so  easily  heated  or  easily  cooled.

METHOD  OF  FORCING  MINT. 

Please  tell  me  the  best  method  of 
forcing  mint.  What  is  the  best  variety, 
and  the  best  method  of  propagating  and 
storing?  F.  W.  H. 

The  variety  generally  used  for  forc- 
ing is  the  common  peppermint,  or 
Mentha  piperita.  This  can  be  raised 
from  seed,  but  the  quickest  means  of 
propagation  is  by  division  of  the  roots. 
The  plants  produce  numerous  creeping 
stems,  and  if  left  undisturbed  for  a  few 
years  can  only  be  lifted  in  large  clumps, 
which  are  inconvenient  to  handle  for 
forcing   purposes.     So,  when  forcing  is

plants  by  dividing  in  spring.  \]^^, 
clumps  about  three  inches  in  dianieti-r 
and  plant  one  foot  apart  in  the  rows 
with  the  rows  far  enough  apart  to  all^w'

STEAM  OR  HOT  WATER  HEATING. 

Which  is  the  better  system  of  heating 
a  greenhouse,  steam  or  hot  water?  I 
want  to  install  a  boiler  and  am  at  sea  as 
to  which  to  get.  I  have  two  houses,  one 
20x75  and  the  other  12x60,  with  4-foot 
walls  and  7-foot  ridges.  "Would  I  require 
as  much  pipe  for  steam  as  I  would  for 
hot  water?  The  average  temperature 
here  (state  of  Washington)  last  winter 
was  12  degrees  above  zero,  the  coldest  it 
has  been  for  years.  I  cannot  very  well 
use  a  pit,  for  the  water  is  too  near  the 
surface;  so  I  would  have  to  place  the 
boiler  on  the  surface.  One  house  stands 
east  and  west,  the  other  north  and  south, 
on  the  sides  of  a  square.  C.  J.  J. 

The  only  satisfactory  method  for  heat- 
ing your  houses  will  be  by  means  of  hot 
water.  Secure  a  boiler  of  a  low,  hori- 
zontal type  and  set  it  just  as  low  as 
possible.  For  the  20-foot  house  carry  a 
21/^ -inch  flow  pipe  from  the  top  of  the 
boiler  along  under  the  ridge  of  the  house 
to  the  farthest  end;  then  drop  below  the 
benches  or  along  the  side  walls  and  di- 
vide into  eight  2-inch  returns,  four  on 
each  side.  For  the  12-foot  house  provide 
one  2-inch  flow  pipe  and  six  1^-inch  re- 
turns.   The  expansion  tank  should  be  lo-

cated  at  the  highest  point  in  the  system, 
Avhich  should  be  just  over  the  boiler; 
from  this  point  the  pipes  should  have  a 
gradual  fall  of  about  one  inch  to  every 
ten  feet  of  their  length,  finally  termi- 
nating in  a  vertical  drop  and  all  connect- 
ing into  the  bottom  of  the  boiler.  The 
flow  pipe  for  each  house  should  be  pro- 
vided with  a  gate  valve  to  check  the  flow 
of  water  in  case  it  is  desired  to  run  one 
house  cool  and  the  other  warm.  One 
valve  to  each  house  will  be  sufficient. 

The  first  cost  of  the  piping  for  steam 
will  be  less  than  for  hot  water,  but  under 
your  conditions  steam  would  be  imprac- 
tical on  account  of  the  position  in  which 
your  boiler  must  be  set.  L.  C.  C. 


PIPING  FOR  MINNESOTA. 

I  expect  to  build  a  house  20x60  feet. 
"Would  the  following  system  of  water 
heating  be  satisfactory  in  Minnesota, 
where  the  temperature  sometimes  reaches 
30  degrees  below  zero?  The  boiler  will  be 
at  the  west  end.  The  system  would  consist 
of  one  4-inch  flow  pipe  from  the  dome  of 
the  boiler,  rising  to  the  top  of  the  door 
at  the  extreme  end  and  branching  into 
fourteen  l^^-inch  return  pipes  which  run 
under  the  benches.  The  end  of  the  house 
nearest  the  boiler  is  to  be  warmer,  and 
in  order  to  secure  this  greater  warmth 
I  have  planned  to  have  four  of  the  pipes 
branch  at  this  end  of  the  house,  which 
would  be  separated  from  the  rest  of  the 
house  by  a  partition.  Would  one  flow 
pipe  supply  these  returns,  or  are  there 
too  many  of  them?  If  there  should  be 
more  flow  pipes,  where  should  they  be? 
And  if  this  plan  is  not  right,  what  would 
you  suggest?  The  wall  is  eight  feet  on 
the  north,  with  no  glass,  and  six  feet  on 
the  south,  with  two  feet  of  glass.  Are 
thesQ  sizes  of  pipes  all  right? 

N.  N.  C. 

The  plan  of  piping  suggested  will  pro- 
vide sufficient  heat  for  carnations,  chrys- 
anthemums and  similar  plants,  but  for 
roses  it  would  be  desirable  to  increase 
the  number  of  2-inch  pipes  to  eighteen. 
The  4-inch  flow  pipe  will  supply  the  four- 
teen 2-inch  returns,  but  no  more.  As 
the  water  will  be  considerably  cooled  by 
the  time  it  returns  to  where  the  extra 
pipes  branch  off,  they  will  add  little  to 
the  warmth  of  this  section  and  this  part 
of  the  house  will  be  inclined  to  be  cool- 
est. A  better  plan  would  be  to  insert  a 
tee  in  the  4-inch  flow  pipe  just  before 
the  partition  is  reached  and  connect  di- 
rectly to  the  extra  return  pipes  below 
the  benches.  This  connecting  pipe,  how- 
ever,  should    be   provided    with   a    gate

I  should  like  to  get  a  little  informa-

had  a  boiler  put  in  last  fall  for  hot 
water.  My  houses  are  one  18-foot  house 
in  center,  with  a  10-foot  house  on  each 
side,  running  north  and  south,  with  a 
shed  at  each  end.  The  boiler  is  in  a  pit 
at  the  north  end,  with  its  top  two  feet 
below  the  greenhouse  floor.  A  4-inch 
pipe  feeds  a  header  under  the  outside 
bench  in  each  outside  (10-foot)  house. 
Each  header  feeds  four  2-ineh  pipes  run- 
ning under  the  outside  bench  to  the  south 
end,  where  one  of  these  2-inch  pipes  is 
carried  through  to  the  center  house  and

This  is  one  man's 
experience:— 

W.  v.  S.NKi.i.,  Mohawk,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  lil,  1907.  says:— 
•I  have  to  report  In  regard  to  the  No.  407  Standard 
Sectional  Steam  Boiler  recently  installed  In  my  grreen- 
houses,  that  It  gives  thoroug-h  satisfaction.  About 
.Tanuary  1.  I  had  occasion  to  note  an  incident  that  I 
consider  worth  reportlngr.  The  boiler  was  attended  to, 
fuel  furnished,  grate  shaken  down  aril  everything 
arranged  for  the  night  at  l.i  o'clock  midnight.  At  that 
time  the  boiler  showed  two  lbs  steam.  To  test  the 
boiler  and  see  how  long  it  would  run  without  attention, 
I  deferred  giving  it  any  further  attention  until  11  o'clock 
the  following  day.  At  that  time  the  fuel  needed 
replenishing,  but  steam  had  been  maintained  in  the 
system  practically  ail  the  time  and  ai  the  time  it  was 
replenished,  the  gauge  stood  at  two  lbs.  pressure.  The 
experiment  showed  that  the  boiler  ran  without  any 
attention  whatever  for  eleven  hours,  carrying  7000  sii. 
ft.  glass  to  about  55  degrees.  The  wt-ather  outside  was 
about  zero."

There  seems  to  be  a  good  circulation. 
The  pipes  rise  at  the  rate  of  ten  inches 
in  each  eighty-five  feet,  and  the  fall  in 
returning  is  ten  inches.  A.  M.  S. 


Water  at  high  temperature  parts  with 
its  heat  more  quickly  than  at  a  lower 
degree  of  heat,  and  for  this  reason  the 
flow  pipes  at  the  north  end  of  the  10-foot 
houses  have  a  greater  efficiency  than  at 
any  other  point  in  the  houses.  The  eas- 
iest method  of  correcting  the  present  dif- 
ficulty will  be  to  decrease  the  number  of 
flow  pipes  and  increase  the  number  of 
returns  correspondingly.  Under  each 
bench  of  the  10-foot  houses  place  one 
flow  pipe,  to  divide  at  the  south  end  into 
two  returns.  This  will  provide  for  two 
flow  pipes  and  four  returns,  in  addition 
to  the  run  which  passes  through  the  wall 
into  the  middle  house.  This  pipe  passing 
from  one  house  to  another  is  objection- 
able and  could  safely  be  changed  so  as 
to  act  as  a  return  in  both  houses.  This 
would  provide  for  two  flows  and  five  re- 
turns in  each  of  the  10-foot  houses  and 
four  flows  and  six  returns  in  the  middle 
house.  This  arrangement  will  require 
manifolds  for  connecting  the  flows  and 
returns  at  the  south  end.  At  the  north 
end  the  returns  should  be  fitted  with  el- 
bow joints  to  provide  for  variation  in 
expansions.  L.  C.  C. 


FLOWS  FOR  HOT  VATER. 

I  propose  to  erect  three  greenhouses, 
north  and  south  and  side  by  side,  each 
16x100  feet  and  t^\elve  feet  to  the 
ridge.  I  will  pipe  them  for  hot  water, 
with  the  boiler  in  a  shed  at  the  north- 
west  corner.      According    to    my   plan    1 


would  have  just  one  flow,  which  would 
be  placed  under  the  ridge  in  the  west 
house  and  would  supply  returns  in  the 
whole  plant.  What  size  of  flow  and 
what  size  and  number  of  returns  do  I 
need  to  keep  the  temperature  at  50  to  60 
degrees?  The  temperature  here,  in  the 
state  of  Washington,  is  never  known  to 
go  below  9  degrees  above  zero.  If  I 
should  not  be  able  to  erect  more  than 
the  west  house  for  the  first  winter, 
would  it  be  necessary  to  have  a  smaller 
flow   until   the  whole  plant   is  up? 

C.  H. 


A  S^Xj  or  4-inch  overhead  flow  pipe 
will  be  required  to  supply  the  three 
houses,  but  it  would  be  much  more  sat- 
isfactory to  run  a  2-inch  flow  pipe 
through  each  house,  with  a  4-inch  main 
in  the  potting  she<l.  The  main  return 
pipe  connecting  to  boiler  will  necessarily 
be  the  same  size  for  hot  water  heating 
as  the  main  flow  pipe.  The  large  flow 
and  return  can  be  used  with  only  onj 
house. 

With  a  4-inch  flow  in  the  west  house, 
this  house  will  require  six  lines  of  2-inch 
pipe  as  returns.  The  middle  house  will 
need  six  lines  of  2-inch  and  the  east 
house  eight  lines  of  2-inch  pipe.  If  a 
2-inch  flow  were  run  through  each  of  the 
houses,  the  m^dle  one  would  require 
five  2-inch  returns  and  each  of  the  out- 
side houses  seven  2-inch  returns.  All 
pipes  should  be  graded  to  a  uniform  fall 
of  about  one  inch  every  ten  feet,  the 
drop  being  toward  the  bottom  of  the 
boiler.  The  expansion  tank  should  be 
located  at  the  highest  point  in  the  sys- 
tem, which  is  usually  just  over  the 
boiler.     The  piping  of  each  house  should

Cut  flowers  are  bringing  winter  prices. 

Bedding  plants  as  yet  are  selling  only 
slowly. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  Elorists' 
Club,  held  May  1,  was  an  unusually  good 
one.  All  the  first-class  florists  are  now 
enrolled. 

The  Miami  Floral  Co.  will  add  an- 
other large  house  to  its  plant  this  sum- 
mer. Some  fine  Eichmond  and  Beauty 
have  been  shipped  lately. 

The  Advance  Floral  Co.  will  add  one 
house,  28x110,  for  carnations,  also  a 
small  house  for  violets,  and  another, 
10x3G,  for  forcing  bulbs,  etc.  Business 
is  showing  a  healthy  increase  over  last 
season. 


TWIN  QTIES. 


The  Market 


The  weather  the  last  week  affected 
business  to  a  considerable  extent.  The 
first  few  days  trade  was  very  fair,  bu»^ 
the  heavy  snowstorm  the  latter  part  of 
the  week  shut  off  business  entirely.  Con- 
sequently a  great  deal  of  stock  is  on  hand 
which  is  not  altogether  fresh.  This  will 
affect  the  market  to  some  extent,  and  it 
is  probable  that  roses  especially  will  take 
a  drop.  It  is  now  warming  up  consid- 
erably, so  we  may  expect  the  street  mer- 
chants and  the  department  stores  to  get 
busy.  The  quality  of  the  roses  at  the 
present  time  could  not  very  well  be  im- 
proved, especially  Eichmond  and  Killar- 
ney.  Special  blooms  are  offered  at  from 
$8  to  $12  per  hundred,  which  is  as  much 
as  they  have  brought  at  any  time  so  far 
this  season.  Brides  and  Maids  are  also 
good,  present  quotations  being  from  $G 
to  $8  per  hundred.  Carnations,  home 
grown,  have  dropped  a  little,  selling  at 
$1.50  and  $2  per  hundred,  while  good 
blooms  from  outside  markets  are  billed 
at  $3  and  $4  jier  hundred.  None  of  the 
trade  have  experienced  any  difficulty  in 
getting  good  stock,  and  the  retail  prices 
have  kept  up  nicely.  With  the  exception 
of  a  few  special  sales,  there  has  been  no 
tlisposition  to  lower  prices. 

Planting  season  has  been  delayed  to 
some  extent,  on  account  of  the  heavy 
snowfall ;  also  the  trade  that  handle  nurs- 
ery stock  have  experienced  a  slight  set- 
back, as  there  has  been  no  planting  what- 
ever done. 

St^PauL 

Colberg  &  Lemke  have  dissolved  part- 
nership. Mr.  Lemke  will  continue  the 
business,  while  Gust  Colberg  will  go  with 
Holm  &  Olson. 

It  has  been  expected  that  the  assets  of 
Bobort  C.  Seeger,  consisting  of  a  fine 
ice-box,  would  be  sold  at  auction,  but  on 
account  of  Mr.  Seeger  filing  a  petition  in 
bankruptcy  it  is  doubtful  what  action 
the  court  will  take.  A  number  of  the 
florists  appear  to  be  interested  and  would 
like  to  have  the  opportunity  of  bidding

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


Mat  2,  1907. 


DETROIT. 

The  Market. 

The  weather  remains  unusually  cool, 
but  has  been  much  more  pleasant  than 
during  the  previous  week.  The  heavy  run 
of  funeral  work  still  keeps  up,  draining 
the  market  of  all  short  stock,  especially 
white.  There  is  little  doing  in  the  way 
of  wedding  flowers,  but  inquiries  as  to 
prices  are  being  made  more  frequently, 
and  some  of  these  inquiries  will,  we 
hope,  soon  materialize  as  orders  for  deco- 
rations. The  few  orchids  available  in 
this  market  seldom  go  to  waste. 

Hoses  are  arriving  in  good  quantity. 
The  stock  is  fine  and  speedily  picked  up, 
excepting  short  reds.  Prices  range  from 
3  cents  to  8  cents. 

Carnations  are  of  fine  quality  and  the 
large  shipments  arc  usually  sold  in  ad- 
vance. About  the  only  plants  going  to 
waste  are  daffodils.  Some  good  ferns, 
this  season's  pick,  are  arriving  at  the 
commission  houses.  Smilax  is  still  at  a 
premium.  Where  formerly  a  foot  was 
thrown  in  it  is  counted  up  to  the  inch 
now. 

Various  Notes. 

Much  interest  was  manifested  by  the 
Detroit  public  in  the  lecture  on  "Home 
Garden  Work  and  Civic  Improvement," 
as  delivered  at  Harmonic  hall  May  1  by 
E.  R.  Thomas,  of  Welfare  League,  Na- 
tional Cash  Register  Co.,  Dayton,  O.  Mr. 
Thomas  deserves  much-  credit  for  the  ex- 
cellent manner  in  Avhich  he  handled  this 
subject.  President  Wm.  Dilger,  of  the 
Detroit  Florists'  Club,  under  whose  aus- 
pices the  lecture  was  held,  introduced 
Secretary  J.  F.  Sullivan,  who,  after  de- 
livering a  short  address  as  a  preliminary 
to  the  lecture,  in  turn  introduced  Mr. 
Thomas.  The  daily  papers  were  gener- 
ous in  the  space  devoted  to  advertising 
the  affair,  publishing  all  the  copy  sup- 
plied by  the  press  committee.  A  num- 
ber of  posters  were  also  distributed 
among  the  stores,  for  displaying  in  the 
windows,  so  there  was  a  good  attendance. 

Louis  Charvat,  of  the  Michigan  Cut 
Flower  Exchange,  was  laid  up  with  a 
severe  cold  last  week. 

William  Dilger  spent  several  days  last 
week  at  the  Cincinnati  Zoo  in  connec- 
tion with  his  duties  as  park  superintend- 
ent. 

Ferdinand  Beyer,  the  hustling  young 
head  gardener  at  the  Wayne  County 
House,  is  contemplating  the  growing  of 
violets  as  a  side  line.  There  is  a  rumor 
afloat  that  Ferdinand  is  soon  to  join  the 
benedicts. 

Herbert  Pierce,  manager  of  the  De- 
troit Cut  Flower  Supply  House,  is  again 
back  in  harness  after  three  weeks'  ill- 
ness. 

The  Memorial  day  business  in  Detroit 
is  of  such  little  account  that  there  is 
little  need  of  making  any  special  prepa- 
rations in  the  cut  flower  line.  The  only 
florists  who  are  busy  are  those  located 
near  the  cemetery  entrances.  H.  S.

The  Market 


Trade  during  the  last  week  has  been 
better  than  in  the  first  part  of  April, 
but  with  the  heavy  quantities  of  stock 
coming  in  it  is  difficult  to  clean  up.  For- 
tunately for  the  others,  a  few  of  the 
growers  are  short  on  carnations,  on  ac- 
count of  the  great  number  of  cuttings 
taken  off.  This  helps  to  keep  the  supply 
lower  than  it  otherwise  would  be,  but 
still  there  is  a  great  deal  of  stock  that 
is  looking  hard  for  a  purchaser.  Bulb 
stock  has  not  been  as  plentiful  as  it 
was  and  consequently  is  cleaned  up  bet- 
ter. "Violets  are  done.  Sweet  peas  are 
in  good  supply.  The  Georgetown  Floral 
Co.  is  sending  in  some  fine  stdck, 
with  stems  from  twenty  to  twenty-four 
inches   long. 

The  cold  weather  has  held  back  the 
bedding  plant  trade,  and  has  also  re- 
tarded outdoor  vegetation,  so  that  those 
who  handle  bedding  plants  expect  to 
have  everything  in  a  rush  when  it  does 
come. 

Death  of  John  G>tterill. 

It  was  with  sincere  regret  that  the 
members  of  the  trade  heard,  April  22, 
of  the  death  of  John  Cotterill,  concern- 
ing whom  further  particulars  are  given 
in  the  obituary  column  of  this  issue.

but  with  the  lioavy  (piautities  of  stock 
coniiiij^  in  it  is  liitlicult  to  eloau  up.  For- 
tunately fur  the  utlicrs,  a  few  of  the 
growers  are  siiort  on  c-aruations,  on  ac- 
rount  of  the  yreat  number  of  cuttings 
taken  oil".  This  helps  to  keep  the  supply 
lower  than  it  otherwise  would  be,  but 
still  there  is  a  great  4leal  of  stock  that 
is  looking  hard  for  a  ]iurchaser.  Bulb 
stock  has  not  been  as  jileutiful  as  it 
was  and  conseipiently  is  cleaned  up  bet-

inches    long. 

The  cold  weather  has  held  back  tiie 
Itedding  plant  trade,  and  has  also  re- 
tarded outdoor  vegetation,  so  that  those 
who  handle  bedding  jilants  expect  to 
have  everything  in  a  rush  when  it  does 
come.

AND 


You  Take  It  For  Granted 

because  a  concern  talks  best  of  materials,  that  they  of  course  mean  the  right  thing  for  the  right  place— but  you 
are  way  wrong.  For  instance :  When  anyone  talks  wooden  eave  plate  and  wooden  posts,  they  are  trying  to  sell 
you  something  that  the  man  who  cares  anything^  about  reducing  the  shade  or  saving  himself  from  almost  immed- 
iate repair  bills— will  have  nothing  to  do  with.  ^  The  men  who  have  given  this  thing  hard  thought,  and  then  tried 
their  thinks  out  by  spending  money  to  save  money,  have  long  ago  proven  that  the  Iron  Frame  House  with  our 
galvanized  steel  eave  is  the  house  to  buy.  So  what's  the  use  of  your  spending  your  good  money  to  prove  up 
what's  already  been  proved  for  you  ?  Write  us  and  we'll  figure  it  out  with  you  on  a  hard  pan,  dollar  and  cents 
basis.

IF  WHAT  WE  CLAIM  IS  TRUE, 
YOU  ARE  LOSING  MONEY 

every  time  you  put  off  ordering  our  material  for  your  greenhouses. 
You  are  losing  on  the  quantity  of  your  crops  and  on  the  quality  of 
your  stock.  One  of  our  houses  will  put  dollars  in  your  pocketbook  that 
would  have  been  somewhere  else — that  would  have  been  spent  on 
repairs  and  patching.  We  believe  in  furnishing  material  that  gives 
satisfaction— that's  why  our  business  gets  larger  every  year  and  the 
same  men  keep  coming  back  for  the  next  house.  Whether  you  build 
one  house  or  a  hundred,  it  will  pay  you  to  use  our  material  and  our 
construction. 

Our  instruction  booklet  will  save  you

It's  more  than  half  likely  you  don't 
know  that  you  can't  mention  hardly  a 
thing:  florists  need  in  the  way  of  g:reen= 
house  materials,  fixtures  and  equipment 
that  we  can't  send  them  post  haste— if  you 

want  them  that  soon.  Not  only  fill  your  order  quickly,  but 
fill  it  with  something  a  good  bit  better  than  the  other  fellows. 
You  see  it's  this  way — we  Q^dn't  start  as  a  planing  mill  and 
drift  into  the  greenhouse  business.  We  started  with  green- 
houses and  have  stayed  with  greenhouses;  that's  our  business, 
and   we   have   made   it  our  business  to  know  our   business. 


Now  it's  time  some  of  you  western  men  got  a 
better  line  on  L.  &  B.— not  only  on  tbeir  prices 
—anybody  can  give  prices— but  on  ^rbat 
you  set  for  the  price.  Go  over  this  list 
carefully— check  off  what  you  want  to  know 
about— then  write  us.

EXPRESS  RATES 


ORDERED  CUT 


^Ur#S^Mf»'^#-^ 


Interstate  Commission  Upholds  Florists. 

The  Interstate  Commerce  Commission, 
:it  Washington,  May  4,  rendered  a  de- 
■ision  in  the  matter  of  t^e  protest  of 
ilie  Society  of  American  Florists  against 
tlie  rates  charged  by  the  United  States 
Express  Co.,  for  carrying  cut  flowers 
I'lom  New  Jersey  and*  Pennsylvania 
points  to  New  York  City.  The  commis- 
sion holds  that  the  rate  now  in  force 
is  unreasonable  and  orders  that  it  be 
materially  reduced  after  June  15. 

The  case  is  of  special  interest  to 
growers  for  the  New  York  market,  as 
materially  affecting  their  daily  expendi- 
tures, but  it  is  of  importance  to  the 
whole  trade  in  that  it  indicates  the  at- 
titude the  Interstate  Commerce  Commis- 
sion will  take  on  the  claim  that  special 
remuneration  is  justified  by  the  special 
service  and  extra  expense  involved  in 
handling  cut  flower  shipments — it  will 
head  off  increases  in  rates  in  other  sec- 
tions of  the  country  and  teach  the  ex- 
press companies  that  might  no  longer 
makes  right,  or  if  it  does,  the  might 
now  is  in  the  hands  of  the  people.  In- 
cidentally, the  decision  will  attract  the 
attention  of  the  whole  country  to  the 
flower  business,  for  this  is  the  first  ease 
under  the  new  law  in  which  a  decision 
has  been  rendered  as  to  the  reasonable- 
ness of  an  express  rate. 

The  ease  was  brought  in  the  name  of 
the  Society  of  American  Florists,  which 
claimed  that  the  rate  charged  by  the 
United  States  Express  Co.  on  cut  flowers 
from  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania 
points  to  New  York  City  was  unreasona- 
ble, excessive  and  unjust.  This  rate  till 
May,  1906,  was  50  cents  per  hundred 
pounds,  and  at  that  time  was  raised  to 
$1  per  hundred  pounds. 

G>mpany^s  G>ntention. 

The  express  company  defended  its  in- 
crease of  100  per  cent  in  its  rate  by 
claiming  that  the  delivery  service  given 
cut  flowers  in  New  York  is  much  more 
expensive  than  that  given  other  articles, 
and  that  it  could  not  increase  its  rate 
a  sutficient  amount  to  meet  the  expense 
of  this  special  service  without  largely 
increasing  the  total  rate,  because  of  its 
contracts  with  the  railroads  under  which 
it  is  required  to  pay  a  percentage  of  its 
gross  receipts  to  the  railroad  companies 
for  their  service.  It  was  set  forth  that 
the  United  States  Express  Co.  has  con- 
tracts with  the  Delaware.  Lackawanna 
&  Western  Eailroad  by  which  the  rail- 
road receives  forty-five  per  cent  of  the 
total  gross  receipts  of  the  express  com- 
pany; but  the  commission  found  that 
the  service  rendered  by  the  railroad  is 
no  greater  or  different  under  the  new 
rate  of  $1  than  it  was  under  the  old  rate 
of  50  cents;  that  the  railroad  now  re- 
ceives forty-five  per  cent  of  the  .$1  rate, 
namely,  45  cents  per  hundred  pounds; 
that  prior  to  May  1,  1906,  the  railroad 
received  but  one-half  of  said  amount  for 
the  same  service;  that  the  percentage  of 
gross  revenue  paid  by  the  express  com- 
pany   to    the    Central'  Railroad    of    New 


Jersey  is  forty-three  per  cent,  and  to  the 
Lehigh  Valley  Eailroad  forty  per  cent; 
that  the  United  States  Express  Co.  em- 
ploys agents  at  the  points  of  origin 
concerned,  who  are,  generally  speaking, 
paid  for  their  services  in  gathering,  bill- 
ing, loading,  unloading  and  delivering 
express  matter  with  a  percentage  of  the 
gross  receipts  at  such  offices,  which  per- 
centages range  downward  from  twenty 
per  cent. 

The  Decision. 

Commissioner  Lane,  who  prepared  the 
decision,  said: 

' '  Elaborate  tables  have  been  presented 
by  the  defendant  tending  to  prove  that 
the  former  rate  of  50  cents  was  unre- 
munerative,  owing  to  the  percentage 
which  it  paid  to  the  railroad,  added  to 
the  percentage  which  it  paid  to  its  agents 
and  the  cost  of  delivery  in  New  York. 
From  these  same  figures  it  can  also  be 
adduced  that  the  present  rate  of  $1  is 
unremunerative ;  and  it  may  well  be  said 
that  from  an  analysis  of  the  charges 
made  upon  any  single  commodity  or 
class  of  commodities  transported  by  this 
company  a  similar  result  could  be 
arrived  at. 

* '  In  order  to  increase  its  business  the 
express  company  gives  an  especially 
prompt  service  to  flower  raisers.  There 
is  no  evidence  that  this  is  not  done  by 
all  express  companies,  or  that  it  does 
anything  with  respect  to  this  traffic  which 
transportation  companies  do  no,t  gener- 
ally do  as  to  certain  classes  of  perish- 
able freight.  But,  admitting  that  an  ex- 
tra return  should  be  made  over  and 
above  that  received  for  the  carrying  of 
articles  generally  transported  by  express, 
no  reason  has  been  shown  why  the  rail- 
road charges  and  agents'  pay  should  .be 
doubled,  excepting  that  the  express 
company  has  to  pay  double  the  amount 
under  its  contract  to  its  agents  and  to 
the  railroad  company — a  necessity  or 
condition  which  we  cannot  recognize  as 
controlling  as  to  rates. ' ' 

The  New  Rates. 

The  order  of  the  commission  requires 
the  United  States  Express  Co.  to  cease 
and  desist  from  charging  the  $1  rate 
after  June  15  and  directs  the  express 
company  on  or  before  that  date  to  put 
in  a  60-cent  rate  from  Chatham  and  Som- 
erville,  N.  J.,  to  New  York  City,  a  72- 
cent  rate  from  Allentown,  Pa.,  to  New 
York  City,  and  from  Philadelphia,  Hill- 
side and  Dorranceton,  Pa.,  a  90-cent 
rate. 

The  order  also  directs  the  reduction  on 
rates  on  empties  from  New  York  City 
to  the  points  named  to  the  merchandise 
rate  of  50  cents  per  hundred  pounds. 

History  of  the  Case. 

It  was  October  9,  1906,  that  the  sec- 
retary of  the  Society  of  American  Flo- 
rists filed  with  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  the  petition  setting  forth 
"That  in  the  course  of  their  business 
members  of  the  S.  A,  F.  located  at  vari- 
ous points  in   New  Jersey  and  Pennsyl- 


vania make  shipments  of  flowers  from 
such  points  to  the  city  of  New  York.  ' 
That  quick  handling  of  these  shipments 
is  so  essential,  that  the  use  of  defend- 
ant's express  line,  even  at  higher  rates 
than  those  of  railroad  companies,  has 
been  and  is  absolutely  necessary.  That 
on  or  about  the  first  day  of  May,  1906, 
defendant  arbitrarily  knd  unjustly  in- 
creased its  express  charges  on  flowers 
from  the  points  named  to  New  York 
City.  That  the  following  table  shows 
the  places,  the  express  charges  prior  to 
May  1,  1906,  and  the  advanced  express 
charges  of  defendant,  in  cents  per  100 
pounds : 

Charges  prior  to    Charges  since 
From.  May  1,  1006.         May  1,  1900.

Philadelphia,  Pa 75c  1.00 

Hillside,    Pa 75c  l.ftO 

Dorranceton,    Pa 75c  1.00 

' '  That  said  advance  in  charges  by  de- 
fendant was  altogether  unwarrantable 
and  unjustified  by  the  circumstances  of 
the  case,  and  the  present  charges  are 
unjust  and  unreasonable  of  themselves 
and  generally.  That  complainant's 
members  at  said  points  are  willing  to 
pay  express  charges  largely  in  excess  of 
what  carriers  by  railroad  would  be  likely 
to  charge  on  such  commodity  between 
the  same  points,  but  it  alleges  that  the 
above-named  advanced  rates  are  so  un- 
just and  so  much  in  excess  of  what  they 
should  be  that  their  exaction  is  nearly 
ruinous. 

' '  That  prior  to  May  1,  1906,  the  empty  • 
boxes  or  cases  which  contained  the  flow- 
ers were  either  returned  free  or  at  a 
nominal  charge  by  defendant,  from  New 
York  City  to  said  points,  but  that  since 
said  dat^  defendant  unreasonably  exacts 
the  same  charge  per  100  pounds  for  the  ^', 
return  of  the  empties  as  it  exacts  for 
the  flowers  themselves.  That  this  addi- 
tional burden  placed  by  defendant  on 
such  shippers  is  unjustified  and  should 
be  changed. 

"That  these  flower  shipments  aic,  in 
a  majority  of  cases,  delivered  by  com- 
plainant at  the  railroad  stations,  and 
the  defendant  is  not  required  to  call  for 
them  at  the  greenhouses.  That  the  mar- 
kets in  New  York  City  are  bunched  in  a 
circumscribed  area,  so  that  in  cases  of 
delivery  to  places  of  business  defendant 
is  not  required  to  cart  shipments  long 
distances.  That  the  express-carriage  of 
flowers  does  not  call  for  any  special 
service  other  than  promptness  of  deliv- 
ery, and  much  of  the  cost  which  defend- 
ant has  to  assume  in  collecting  and  de- 
livering ordinary  merchandise  is  elim- 
inated." 

The  Society  of  American  Florists  ap- 
j>eared  before  the  interstate  commerce 
commission  at  W^ashington  Friday  and 
Saturday,  March  15  and  16,  at  the  time 
of  the  meeting  of  the  Eose  Society. 
Some  twenty  or  twenty-five  oflScers  and 
members  of  the  society  were  present  and 
evidence  was  offered  by  Frank  L.  ^loore, 
Chatham,  N.  J.;  L.  ^f,  Noe  and  Eobert 
Sciniltz,  ^Madison,  N.  J.;  Adolph  Faren- 
wald,  Eoslyn,  Pa.;  F.  H.  Traendly,  New- 
York  City,  and  ^\.  J.  Stewart,  Boston. 
Two  hours  and  a  half  were  consumed  in 
presenting  the  evidence.  On  the  follow- 
ing day  representatives  of  the  express 
company  presented  their  side  of  the  case. 
The  judgment  of  the  commission  now  is 
rendered.     There  is  no  appeal. 

It  will  be  noted,  however,  that  the  de^ 
cision  was  largely  on  a  technical  ground, 
concerning    the    railroads'    contract,    not 
touched  on  in  the  S.  A.  F.  petition.

I 

I  ORGANIZATION  OF  A 

I   MODERN  ESTABLISHMENT 


5 

t 


The  Early  Organization. 

The  consideration  of  this  subject  lends 
more  interest  when  we  compare  the  ag- 
gressive modern  establishments  of  the 
present  time  with  those  of  thirty  or  more 
years  ago.  Then,  in  the  absence  of  the 
enticing  catalogue  and  the  undreamed  of 
trade  papers,  the  growers'  chief  aim  was 
to  have  a  full  supply  of  salable  plants 
in  bloom  at  the  opening  of  the  spring 
season. 

The  stock  consisted  of  all  the  then 
known  varieties  of  every  species  of  bed- 
ding, basket  and  ornamental  plants.  The 
florist's  market  was  any  point  that  he 
could  reach.  The  beast  which  showed 
the  greatest  amount  of  endurance  was 
hitched  to  the  market  wagoA  and  the 
assistant,  or  son,  daughter,  or  even  the 
wife,  was  assigned  to  the  task  of  visit- 
ing the  neighboring  towns  with  a  load 
of  plants  in  bloom. 

This  method  ended  with  the  spring 
months,  and  the  left-over  stock  was 
either  advertised  at  bargain  prices  in 
the  local  papers  or  thrown  away  as 
surplus. 

The  growers  who  were  adjacent  to 
cities  were  represented  in  the  markets, 
occupying  one  or  more  stalls  with  the 
most  attractive  stock.  At  the  close  of 
the  season  the  general  routine  of  work 
followed;  that  of  planting  out  and  car- 
ing for  the  stock  plants  and  blooming 
stuff  for  the  following  winter  months. 
The  equipment  of  these  establishments 
was  varied,  as  a  greater  variety  of  plants 
could  be  found  in  the  collections  of  the 
florist  of  those  days  than  now. 

The  organization  was  modest,  yet  com- 
plete, as  the  florist  and  his  family  con- 
stituted the  faculty,  with  extra  help,  if 
needed.  The  duty  of  each  was  to  under- 
stand the  general  routine  of  work,  from 
the  oflfice  to  the  stoke-hole,  the  system  re- 
quiring every  one  to  work  for  the  one 
aim,  that  every  available  corner  be  filled 
with  attractive  stock  and  in  bloom  for 
the  spring  season. 

A  Tribute  to  Woman, 

The  florist  of  the  early,  and  even  the 
present  day,  has  always  found  the  wife 
an  important  factor  in  the  organization. 
Her  judgment  and  untiring  interest  is 
indispensable.  She  has  been  the  help- 
meet, and  always  will  be,  as  long  as 
her  interest  in  horticulture  continues. 
Woman's  influence  contributes  almost 
altogether  to  the  remarkable  demand  of 
the  present  day.  Due  credit  is  not  given 
her  for  what  she  has  accomplished.  She 
is  today  prominent  back  of  the  counter 
in  florist  shops  and  deeply  interested  in 
the  work  of  the  greenhouse  establish- 
ment. 

Woman  was  the  first  to  give  us  a 
treatise  on  horticulture  in  this  country. 
This  honor  fell  upon  Mrs.  Logan,  a 
florist  of  Charleston,  S.  C.  This  she  did 
at  the  age  of  seventy  years,  in  the  year 
1772. 


The  Modem  Establishment. 

In  referring  to  the  horticultural  estab- 
lishments of  the  early  days  I  would  not 
pretend  to  say  that  they  were  not  active 
and  lucrative  for  the  growers.  Many  of 
the  veteran  florists  were  known  to  you, 
some  of  them  living  today,  who  enjoyed 
their  years  of  toil,  with  good  prices  for 
their  product. 

There  are  establishments  existing  to- 
day with  modern  methods,  which  pursued 
the  routine  above  mentioned,  but,  keep- 
ing pace  with  the  changes  demanded  by 
the   advance  in   commercial   horticulture. 


of  the  business  in  general,  in  that  the 
growers  depend  on  each  other  for  special 
stocks.  Hence  the  florist  of  the  present 
time  is  retail  in  general  stock,  and  whole- 
sale in  special  stock. 

Their  dealings  have  become  reciprocal 
the  trade  papers  have  entered  upon  the 
field,  and  all  seem  to  be  doing  a  thriving 
business,  and  through  this  medium  the 
enterprising  florists  know  more  of  each 
other  and  the  skill  of  those  in  special 
lines. 

From  my  own  limited  observations,  I 
can  say  but  little  of  other  large  and  ag- 
gressive horticultural  establishments  ex- 
cept the  one  with  which  I  have  been 
connected  for  the  past  quarter  century, 
having  observed  the  advancement  and 
growth  of  this  establishment,  which  is 
keeping  pace  with  the  increasing  de- 
mand, largely  through  its  own  catalogue 
and  the  influence  of  horticultural  maga- 
zines and  rural  home  publications,  which 
are  creating  an  intense  taste  among  the 
plant  and  flower-loving  people  of  our 
country.  And  what  is  true  of  the  de- 
partment   offering   the   subject    for   this

they  have  branched  out  as  specialists  and 
are  classed  and  known  as  such  in  the 
trade. 

It  has  been  noticeable  that  certain 
stocks  were  best  suited  to  certain  locali- 
ties, and  on  these  the  growers  concen- 
trated their  efforts  to  the  greatest  im- 
provement of  such  stock.  This  method 
has  met  with  general  success,  inducing 
constant  extension  and  enlargement  of 
facilities,  demanding  modern  construc- 
tion, heating,  ventilating,  simple  and 
economical  methods  of  handling  and 
shipping. 

This  condition  seems  to  have  asserted 
itself  within  the  last  twenty  years,  and 
has  advanced  the  interest  and  the  growth 


paper,  is  true  of  other  aggressive  estab-

to  point  with  pardonable  pride  to  the 
plant  department  of  Henry  A.  Dreer, 
Inc.,  at  Eiverton,  N.  J.,  under  the  able 
management  of  Mr.  J.  D.  Eisele,  the 
vice-president  of  the  company.  I  there- 
fore make  bold  the  assertion  that  with 
the  advance  and  increase  in  each  branch 
of  this  department  may  we  not  modestly 
assume  it  to  be  among  the  modern  estab- 
lishments in  equipment  and  organization  f

very  tlecided  in  the  attention  given  to 
nerennials.  Many  works  have  been  pub- 
lished, treating'  entirely  on  the  old-fash- 
ioned or  hardy  garden.  The  amateurs 
seem  to  enter  into  this  line  with  new 
zeal  year  after  year,  so  that  this  depart- 
ment has  grown  to  the  enormous  extent 
of  2,000  varieties,  requiring  forty  acres 
to  perpetuate  the  stock. 

The  interest  in  aquatics  is  a  develop- 
ment of  the  last  twelve  years,  and  has 
extended  from  this  country  to  Europe. 
Fully  six  acres  are  now  devoted  to  this 
branch.  Many  of  the  best  introductions 
of  recent  years  are  of  American  origin. 

Twenty  years  ago  it  was  considered  a 
bold  plunge  to  devote  one  house  12x100 
10  ferns.  Since  1898  ovM  one  acre  is 
yiven  to  these,  and  fully  a  quarter  mil- 
lion are  in  readiness  for  immediate  mar- 
ket, and  one  and  a  half  millions  are 
liandled  every  season. 

The  palm  is  the  leading  decorative 
plant.  With  all,  from  the  owner  of  the 
conservatory  to  the  occupant  of  a  flat 
embellished  by  a  fire  escape,  the  palm 
has  a  place,  and  is  essential  in  the  col- 
lection of  plants  for  home  adornment. 
These  alone  occupy  four  acres  of  glass. 
Seeds  of  the  important  varieties  are  im- 
ported from  their  native  haunts,  the 
most  prominent  being  the  kentia.  These 
are  sown  in  batches  of  from  seventy-five 
to  100  bushels  at  one  time.  Other  varie- 
ties are  used  in  proportion.  The  palm 
industry,  with  that  of  the  fern,  is  prac- 
tically a  development  of  the  last  twenty 
years. 

The  dahlia  was  somewhat  obsolete  for 
a  number  of  years,  but  has  been  resur- 
rected, and  many  new  varieties  and  new 
types  have  been  introduced.  Ten  years 
ago  less  than  6,000  constituted  the  stock ; 
75,000  in  1904,  and  now  the  enormous 
number  of  300,000  is  necessary  to  meet 
the  demand,  requiring  fifty  acres  for 
maintaining  the  stock. 

The  demand  for  the  ever-popular 
azalea  is  still  on  the  increase,  ranging 
from  150  plants  imported  in  1876  to  the 
present   requirement  of   60,000. 

Roses  for  outdoor  planting  are  among 
the  most  important  of  spring  stock,  and 
have  made  the  most  marked  increase; 
from  6,000  eight  years  ago  to  200,000, 
the  present  requirement. 

Enumerating  the  above  is  only  to  show 
the  advancement  made  in  commercial 
horticulture  along  the  line  of  specialties. 
Much  other  of  the  varied  stock  is  grown 
in  proportion  to  the  demand. 

The  Equipment. 

To  harbor  and  maintain  an  equipment 
of  such  magnitude,  extensive  glass  and 
open  area  is  necessary,  besides  many  ac- 
cessories with  which  to  carry  it  through 
from  season  to  season,  namely,  a  glass 
area  of  from  seven  to  eight  acres  of 
modern  construction  in  greater  part. 
Boiler  capacity  of  850  horse-power,  con- 
suming 3,000  tons  of  coal  per  annum. 
Water  capacity  for  all  uses ;  300,000  gal- 
lons per  day.  A  fumigating  house  of 
special  construction  as  required  by  the 
state  laws,  for  hydrocyanic  acid  gas,  for 
safeguarding  against  even  an  incipient 
presence  of  scale.  A  complete  machine 
shop,  operated  by  steam  power,  for  re- 
pairing and  constructing,  and  supplied 
with  saw-table  for  cutting  lumber  to  re- 
quired sizes  for  cases  and  crates  for 
shipments;  also  a  carpenter  shop  in  con- 
stant operation.  A  cold  storage  area  for 
storing  stock  for  winter  and  early  spring 
shipment  to  southern  points.  Experi- 
mental grounds  for  the  thorough  testing 


FAMIUAR    BOOSTERS    IN     CARICATURE. 


Charles  N.  Page. 


The  Des  Moines  Daily  Tribune  is 
publishing  a  series  of  cartoons  entitled 
' '  Boosters  in  Caricature, ' '  of  which  the 
above  is  one.  It  is  printed  together  with 
a  sketch  of  the  subject.  Chas.  N.  Page 
removed  to  Des  Moines  April  9,  1877, 
when  he  was  but  16  years  of  age,  and 


has  been  identified  for  thirty  years  with 
the  business  of  which  he  now  is  the 
head.  Mr.  Page  not  only  is  a  booster 
for  Des  Moines,  but  a  booster  for  the 
horticultural  trades  as  well.  His  firm 
is  interested  in  all  departments  of  the 
business.  /    ; 


of  new  varieties  of  plants  of  foreign  and 
home  production.  A  supply  department 
which  is  under  control  of  one  who  knows 
the  value  of  preventing  waste.  All  sup- 
plies, from  oflBce  stationery,  tools  for 
machine  shop,  and  every  utensil  needed 
under  glass  and  on  open  ground,  to  the 
most  minute  item,  is  guarded  with 
vigilant  exactness,  replenished  before  ex- 
hausted, and  distributed  only  as  needed 
and  upon  orders,  the  working  force  of 
this  establishment  being  150  men,  among 
whom  are  twenty  order  clerks  and  thirty- 
five  packers.  A  horticultural  establish- 
ment thus  equipped  requires  systematic 
organization  to  cope  with  the  ever  in- 
creasing demand  of  the  eager,  plant-lov- 
ing public,  and  as  the  pressure  and  bulk 
of  the  business  is  confined  to  the  short 
period  of  spring  operations,  the  strain 
is  severe  upon  those  on  whom  the  re- 
sponsibility falls.  The  force  must  be 
divided  and  assigned  to  the  various 
branches,  the  head  of  each  force  to  as- 
sume the  responsibility  for  the  accom- 
plishment of  the  work  to  which  he  is 
delegated. 

The  Executive  Staff. 

The  staff  must  be  headed  by  a  man- 
ager, vigilant  and  capable,  assisted  by 
an  office  force  of  skilled  horticulturists, 
who  take  up  the  details  and  carry  them 
to  completion,  answering  all  inquiries  of 
the  departments  to  which  they  belong. 
He  must  be  able  to  answer  inquiries  on 


all  subjects  in  horticulture,  and  give  in- 
formation leading  to  same;  advise  the 
inexperienced  regarding  plants.  He  must 
be  a  fund  of  information,  on  whom  the 
enthusiastic  amateur  can  and  does  draw 
freely.  He  must  be  in  constant  touch 
with  his  trustworthy  and  capable  heads 
of  each  department,  who  with  him  formu- 
late plans  for  the  seasons  ahead,  antici- 
pating the  demands  which  catalogue  and 
other  advertising  mediums  might  inspire. 
The  propagator,  a  dependable  person- 
age, must  be  capable,  with  good  judg- 
ment in  regulating  the  stock  quantities 
by  general  conditions  and  species.  Only 
by  close  application  and  years  of  prac- 
tice and  study  does  he  become  familiar 
with  the  wide  range  of  plant  conditions 
and  the  care  of  plants,  observing  through 
all  his  work  that  careful  labeling  is 
imperative.  He  is  to  propagate  in  such 
quantities    as   the    manager   may    direct. 

Packing  and  Shipping. 

The  packing  department  is  an  im- 
portant one.  While  the  order  clerks  may 
do  their  work  carefully  and,  to  all  ap- 
pearances, completely,  yet  the  packer 
must  again  check  up  before  he  finally 
packs  for  shipping.  He  must  use  judg- 
ment as  to  the  duration  of  transit  and 
pack  accordingly,  to  guard  against 
weather  conditions  at  destination  and  in 
transit;  and  pack  consistently  light  to 
save  heavy  transportation  charges.  After 
he  is  through  he  passes  the  case  or  cases

over  to  the  shipping  departmeut,  after 
making  a  record,  marking  date  and  time 
of  his  release  of  said  packages. 

The  shipping  department  must  be 
under  the  supervision  of  one  who  knows 
how,  when  and  where,  to  ship;  first,  by 
the  most  expeditious  and  cheapest  route ; 
second,  at  a  time  when  safe  against 
severe,  weather;  third,  to  a  point  most 
accessible  to  the  consignee.  He  is  to 
be  provided  with  the  latest  shipping 
guides,  and  be  in  close  touch  with  carry- 
ing companies,  so  as  to  keep  himself  in- 
formed of  the  most  expeditious  routes. 
Thus  it  requires  one  of  keen  scrutiny 
regarding  shipping  rules  and  conditions, 
so  that  the  perishable  stock  he  delivers 
is  ^promptly  and  safeW  transported  to 
destination,  marked  carefully  and  with 
certificate  of  inspection  of  state  ento- 
mologist attached. 

The  modern  horticultural  establish- 
ment should,  have  a  corps  of  travelers, 
who  have  a  knowledge  of  the  stock,  be- 
sides their  catalogue  information.  They 
must  anticipate  the  wants  of  their 
patrons,  knowing  the  special  line  of  each. 
They  should  be  practical  plantsmen,  and 
in  all  their  transactions  advance  the  in- 
tegrity of  their  house. 

The  Catalogue. 

The  catalogue  of  the  modern  horticul- 
tural establishment  is  now  an  indispensa- 
ble medium,  finding  its  way  into  the 
remote  corners  of  the  globe.     It  is  the 


feature  on  which  the  mail  trade  depends, 
as  well  as  that  of  the  customers  who  are 
within  reach.  This  medium  must  be  new 
every  year,  and  full  of  information,  in 
order  to  appeal  to  the  prospective  buyer. 
Since  the  half-tone  process  from  pho- 
tography gives  such  real  reproductions, 
the  plant  catalogue,  like  the  magazine, 
becomes  a  household  pleasure  and*  must 
be  in  the  hands  of  the  patrons  early 
enough  to  be  consulted  before  the  close 
of  winter,  when  open-air  work  is  being 
eagerly  anticipated. 

The  work  of  compiling  this  volume 
must  be  in  the  hands  of  one  who  has 
practical  experience  in  all  departments, 
as  information  given  through  a  reliable 
catalogue  is  taken  as  authentic.  It  has 
become  as  niuch  of  an  educator  as  the 
horticultural  magazines,  and  must  there- 
fore be  resplendent  with  new  matter  and 
illustrations.  As  photography  enters 
largely  in  its  compilation,  a  fully 
equipped  department  must  be  provided 
to  observe  every  opportunity  through  the 
seasons  for  the  reproduction  of  new 
features. 

The  one  having  all  catalogue  matter  in 
charge  should  also  provide  the  adver- 
tising matter,  fresh  and  varied,  for  the 
trade  papers  and  other  mediums. 

In  Other  Lines. 

I  -  have  touched  only  superficially  on 
the  subject  of  equipment  and  organiza- 
tion, and  have  only  cited  that  of  the 
plant   producing    industry.      A    large,    if 


not  the  greater  part  of  those  engaged  in 
commercial  horticulture,  are  interestetl 
in  cut  flower  growing. 

Near  the  busy   marts  of   this  country 
and  of  Europe  are  to  be  found  extensive 
glass  structures  which  find  ready  market 
for  their  immense  product.     These,  too, 
are  almost  entirely  given  up  to  special 
ties,  such  as  are  best  suited  to  soil,  di 
mate    and    conditions    of    their    locality, 
and  to  these  all  forces  are  concentratol^l 
I   have   visited   some   of   these   establisli 
ments  in  the  east,  and  note  from  the  ex 
cellent  system    adopted,   and  the   success 
achieved,    that    it    is    entirely    through 
proper  organization  and  up-to-date  equip- 
ment.     The    structures    are     modern     h] 
every  detail.     The  force  is  divided  intu 
sections,  and  to  each  of  these  is  allotte<( 
the  care  of  a  block.     The  cutting,  pack 
ing  and   shipping   is  in   the  care   of  ex- 
perts who,  through  long  experience,  hav<> 
learned  to  confine  their  efforts  to   types 
and  varieties  susceptible  to  the  greatest 
improvement    under    intense    cultivation. 
It  is  true,  also,  that  the  quality  of  the 
produce    from    improved     varieties     has 
greatly    increased    the    demand    and    en- 
gendered a  wider  taste. 

Proper  organization  is  essential  to  the 
economical  and  successful  operation  of  a 
modern  horticultural  establishment,  raor.c 
especially  that  it  does  not  and  should  not 
increase  the  detail  of  labor  of  the  man- 
agement, but  be  divided  among  the 
various  heads  of  departments,  in  whom 
confidence  should  be  reposed. 


EAHLY  PLANTING. 


The  Advantages. 

Many  of  the  best  growers  in  the  east 
bench  their  stock  this  month,  and  it  is 
from  this  early  planted  stock  that  most 
of  the  finest  exhibition  flowers  are  cut. 
I  long  since  proved  to  my  own  satisfac- 
tion that  the  longer  season  of  growth 
produced  a  heavier  flower,  and  the  man 
who  plants  late  in  June  or  early  in  July 
need  not  expect,  other  conditions  being 
equal,   to   win    many   prizes. 

Early  planted  stock  has  more  time 
to  ripen  the  wood,  and  this  ripening  is 
one  of  the  essentials  in  producing  large 
flowers.  True,  there  is  an  extreme  in 
ripening,  also,  and  Ave  do  not  attempt 
to  ripen  our  wood  so  much  as  does  the 
British  cultivator,  who,  with  his  outdoor 
culture,  finishes  his  plants  with  bark  on 
the  stem  like  a  young  tree.  We,  owing 
to  the  almost  universal  system  of  ex- 
'  hibiting  flowers  on  long  stems,  must  have 
those  stems  so  they  will  absorb  water 
to  sustain  the  flower,  and  this  a  stem 
cannot  do  if  hardened  too  much.  There 
is  a  big  ditference  between  ripening  the 
wood  in  the  fall  and  getting  the  young 
plants  hide-bound  at  the  present  time. 
See  that  they  are  well  supplied  with 
water,   particularly    on    those   days   when 


we  get  bright  sunshine  and  a  brisk  and 
drying  wind.  Just  now,  for  a  week  or 
two  when  everyone  is  busy,  plants  are 
apt  to  be  neglected  and  when  a  plant 
gets  dried  out  a  few  times  it  becomes 
hard  and  wiry  in  the  stem.  It  is  not 
an  easy  matter  to  get  such  a  plant  back 
into  a  healthy,  vigorous  condition  after 
planting. 

Some  varieties  make  a  spindly  growth 
naturally  in  early  spring,  Appleton 
being  one  of  them,  but  they  are  merely 
the  exception  that  proves  the  rule.  Start 
with  the  good,  fat  cutting  if  possible, 
and  keep  it  fat  during  its  early  growth ; 
or,  in  other  words,  keep  your  young 
stock  in  a  soft,  growing  condition.  I  am 
an  advocate  of  placing  the  young  stock 
out  in  a  coldframe  for  a  few  weeks  be- 
fore planting,  so  that  the  plants  will  not 
get  drawn  up  or  spindly,  as  they  so 
easily  do  when  grown  close  together  in 
a  house,  often  with  other  and  more  ten- 
der subjects.  Holding  the  plants  in 
good  shape  till  planting  time  is  very  im- 
portant, and  if  the  house  is  ready  and 
the  soil  in  shape,  do  not  delay  the  plant- 
ing longer  than  you  can  help. 

Soil  and  Head-room. 

We  will  assume,  of  course,  that  the 
soil  was  stacked  and  composted  last  fall 
and    chops    down    in    fine,   mellow    condi- 


tion. Such  a  soil,  with  the  addition  of 
a  6-inch  pot  of  fine  bone  to  a  barrowful 
of  soil,  will  grow  mums  in  fine  shape. 
Get  it  in  dry  and  fill  the  bench  level 
full,  so  that  a  little  firming  after  plant- 
ing leaves  the  soil  about  half  an  inch 
below  the  top  of  the  outside  board,  giv- 
ing plenty  of  room   for  water. 

The  distance  apart  to  plant  should  be 
not  less  than  9x9  inches  for  this  early 
planting.  The  plants  will  make  long 
stems  and  the  bed  will  be  completely 
shaded  from  the  sun.  If  it  is  not  a  ques- 
tion of  money,  but  only  just  how  fine 
you  can  grow  the  stock,  as  it  is  in  sonn 
private  establishments,  I  would  say 
plant  9x12  inches.  With  early  planting, 
of  course,  one  must  figure  on  the  head 
room,  and  unless  you  have  six  feet  clear 
above  the  bench  it  is  better  to  top  th*' 
plants  over  and  wait  awhile.  The  dwari 
kinds,  such  as  C'heltoni.  Beatrice  May. 
May  Seddon,  Xellie  Pockett  and  Merzii. 
will  not  get  o\-er  four  feet  planted  now. 
but  many  of  the  general  run  of  varieties 
will,  and  it  will  not  pay  to  plant  early 
and  then  have  to  bend  the  stems  all  ways 
to  get  the  flowers  away  from  the  glass 
\n  the  fall.  Foresight  is  better  than 
hindsight  in  figuring  out  such  problems 
as  these.  If  you  cannot  plant  early  i» 
the  bench  you  can  always  have  some  i"

iiots,   and    these    can   be    set    along    the 
laths  or  anywhere  at  flowering  time. 

Some  splendid  growers  of  my  acquaint- 
,iice  grow  their  finest  flowers  exclusively 
n  pots  and  boxes.  My  only  objection 
()  it  is  that  it  takes  considerable  time. 
\  man  can  look  after  many  more  plants 
II  a  bench  than  he  could  if  those  same 
iilants  were  in  pots. 

Specimen  Plants. 

As  these  plants  are  ready,  move  them 
I'rom  6-inch  to  8-inch  pots,  never  permit- 
:  ing  them  to  become  pot-bound  in  the 
oast  degree.  Let  the  soil  be  good  rotted 
•;od,  chopped   not  too   fine,  with  all   the 


fiber  retained,  and  a  fourth  part  of  well- 
rotted  manure,  with  some  bone  added. 
If  you  are  so  unfortunate  as  not  to  have 
any  fibrous  sod,  use  coarse  sand  in  the 
soil,  so  it  will  not  pack  into  a  solid 
mass.  The  mechanical  condition  of  the 
soil  must  be  right,  because  it  is  a  long 
while  to  next  November  and  it  is  an 
easy  matter  to  get  a  plant  waterlogged 
and  unthrifty. 

Attend  faithfully  to  the  pinching  of 
the  main  shoots,  and  as  the  plant  begins 
to  round  out,  put  a  stake  here  and  there 
to  tie  the  main  branches,  so  that  they 
will  not  get  broken  by  the  wind.

YOUNG  STOCK. 

It  is  rare  to  find  a  house  in  which 
there  are  no  defects  in  the  glass,  and 
these  defects  are  certain  to  cause  blister- 
ing and  burning  of  the  tender  leaves  if 
not  attended  to.  These  defects  should 
be  located  as  early  in  the  season  as  pos- 
sible, as  burns  caused  by  them  have  a 
very  debilitating  effect.  Select  a  very 
bright  day,  when  the  burning  spots  can 
be  easily  detected,  and  touch  them  with 
either  a  solution  of  alum  or  boiled  oil. 

It  does  not  require  a  big  splotch  of 
paint,  which  is  unsiglitly,  to  eliminate 
the  siK)ts,  which  are  usually  minute  and 
consequently  hard  to  locate.  This  search- 
ing for  the  burning  spots  cannot  be  done 
in  an  hour,  as  tl  •  sun  shadows  are  con- 
tinually shifting,  but  should  be  perse- 
vered in  as  long  as  the  sun  continues  to 
shine  on  the  glass  or  until  the  burning 
spots  have  all  been  subdued. 

Beauty  foliage,  even  on  the  old  plants, 
is  liable  to  sufl'er.  and  a.s  the  most  valua- 
ble leaves  at  this  season  are  usually 
above  or  overhead,  it  is  diflicult  without 
a  close  examination  to  detect  the  dam- 
age. A  close  inspection  shouM  be  made 
daily. 

Preparations  for  planting  should  now 
be  made  by  getting  the  soil  into  proper 
condition  and  having  all  tools,  etc.,  in 
good  working  order.  The  work  of  that 
busy  season  will  be  greatly  expedited  by 
having  all  supplies,  such  as  nails,  lum- 
ber and  all  other  necessaries,  in  stock 
and  in  their  proper  places,  so  that  no 
time  may  be  lost  in  getting  the  benches 
repaired,  filled  and  planted. 

An  old  friend,  a  prominent  grower, 
has  just  called  my  attention  to  the  fact 
that  for  the  last  two  seasons  1  have 
neglected  to  say  anything  on  the  subject 
of  fumigation  as  connected  with  rose 
culture  under  glass.  This  subject  has 
been  discussed  by  so  many  able  growers 


that  I:  felt  as  if  I  had  nothing  new  or 
interesting  to  set  before  my  readers; 
lienre  the  omission. 

In  a  future  issue  I  intend  to  give,  to 
the  best  of  my  ability,  my  ideas  and  ex- 
perience along  these  lines. 

I  am  always  thankful  to  any  of  our 
readers  who  call  my  attention  to  any 
omissions  or  to  any  subjects  which  they 
wish  discussed.  Ribes. 


MILDEW  ON  ROSES. 

In  a  recent  issue  I  see  the  old  rem- 
edy of  blowing  flowers  of  sulphur  again 
recommended.  It  is  a  troublesome,  not 
to  say  slovenly  process,  and  now  entirely 


unnecessary,    thanks    to    Campbell's    in- 
vention.     The   sulphur  vaporizer   throws 
a  thin  film  of  sulphur  evenly  over  every- 
thing   within    range,    and,    provided    the 
directions   are   strictly  adhered  to,   it  is 
done    practically    without    risk.      I    have 
used   the  apparatus   several   vears   with- 
out mishap  and  look  upon  it  as  a  desid- 
eratum   attaint.      It   is,    in   fact,   what 
for  years   we   longed   for,    and   I    notice 
from    your    advertisement    columns    that 
though    it    is    a   British   invention,    it   is 
obtained     at     several     addresses    in     the 
United   States.     It   renders  us  quite   in- 
dependent of  hot  pipes  for  diffusion.

LATE  PLANTING. 

I  have  under  construction  one  green- 
house* 21x75  feet  in  which  roses  will  be 
grown.  It  will  be  six  weeks  or  two 
months  before  all  my  material  for  roof 
construction  will  be  here  and,  of  course, 
after  it  arrives  several  days  more  before 
house  will  be  completed.  Since  that 
would  make  it  about  July  15  to  August 
1,  it  would  be  late  to  plant  roses.  Is  it 
considered  practical  to  set  plants  in 
benches  before  the  roof  is  completed? 
What  roses  would  be  best  suited  to  grow 
in  the  same  house?  J.  X.  H. 


Roses  being  so  sensitive  to  overwater- 
ing  and  climatic  conditions,  it  is  not 
a  safe  practice  to  plant  the  benches  be- 
fore having  the  houses  glazed.  It  is 
much  better  to  keep  going  along  by 
repotting  and,  even  though  the  planting 
may  be  late,  you  will  get  better  results 
arid  eliminate  many  of  the  risks. 

A  beginner  should  plant  those  varie- 
ties which  possess  vigor  and  immunity 
from  fungous  diseases,  among  which  are 
Golden  Gate,  Ivory,  Chatenay  and  Rich- 
mond. These  varieties  are  also  good  all- 
round  j)roducers  and  do  not  require  the 
same  amount  of  scientific  care  as  do 
Bride  and  ]\Iaid.  It  may  be  well  to  try 
these  in  small  quantities  in  order  to 
gain  experience.  Ribe.s. 


CARNATION  NOTES.-WEST. 


Field  Planting. 

By  the  time  this  appears  in  print, 
planting  in  the  field  will  be  in  full 
swing,  an<l  the  quicker  it  is  ended  the 
better  for  the  j)lants.  Up  to  this  date. 
May  6,  we  have  been  having  light  frosts 
almost  regularly,  which  liave  caused 
more  or  less  hesitancy  in  making  a  bo- 
ginning.  They  have  not  been  lieavy 
enough  to  do  any  real  damage  to  plants 
that  are  not  too  soft,  but  while  frosts 
occur  quite  regularly  one  can  not  tell 
when  the  temperature  may  take  an  ex- 
tra dip  and  cause  irreparable  damage 
to  any  tender  plants  that  may  be  out. 

In  my  locality  there  has  been  rather 
less  than  the  average  amount  of  rain 
this  spring  and  the  soil  is  turning  up 
in  fine  condition,  especially  where  it  was 


plowed  last  fall.  Wherever  this  condi- 
tion prevails  an  early  completion  of 
field  j)lanting  is  especially  advisable, 
while  the  sun  is  comparatively  weak  and 
the  i)lants  can  get  hold  of  the  soil  before 
it  dries  out  too  nuich,  even  if  it  does 
not  rain  for  sonu>  little  time.  If  your 
carnation  field  is  in  close  proximity  to 
the  water  supply  you  need  not  consider 
tins  proposition  so  much,  but  if  it  lies 
some  distance  away  and  artificial  water- 
ing is  ini])ractical,  then  it  i)ays  to  take 
advantage  of  every  little  ]>oint. 

Watering  in  the  Field. 

I  am  not  an  advocate  of  artificial 
watering  for  the  carnation  field  after 
the  ])lants  are  in  active  growth ;  in  fact, 
I  prefer  to  grow  them  rather  on  the 
<lry  side,  but  when  they  are  first  planted 
out  it  would  be  folly  to  allow  them  to 
suffer  for  want  of  water.  One  good  rain 
a    few   days   after   setting   out    will   usu-

ally  suffice  to  give  them  a  start,  if  the 
cultivating  is  looked  after  properly. 
Then,  by  the  time  the  soil  dries  out  to 
amount  to  anything,  the  roots  are  driv- 
ing down  toward  the  moister  soil  below. 
At  this  time  of  the  year  rains  are  usu- 
ally frequent  enough  to  eliminate  any 
danger  of  the  plants  burning  out,  but 
later  in  the  month  such  a  tlung  might 
happen  and  tlien  is  when  it  is  desirable 
to  have  the  artificial  supply  handy.  Do 
not  drag -several  hundred  feet  of  hose 
all  over  the  patch,  if  you  water  that 
way,  but  run  a  1-inch  pipe  across  the 
field  and  place  hose  bibs  along  so  that 
you  can  reach  every  plant  with  a  length 
of  fifty  feet  of  hose.  This  is  quickly 
done  and  will  save  you  much  time  and 
many  plants.  By  leaving  out  about 
every  twentieth  row  you  will  have  a 
path  to  work  in  without  trampling  any 
of  the  plants.  The  inch  pipe  will  nqt 
reduce  the  pressure  of  the  water  as  much 
as  the   hose  would,   either. 

Where  watering  is  to  be  kept  up  all 
through  the  summer,  it  pays  to  put  in  a 
system  especially  adapted  for  that  pur- 
pose, but  it  would  be  a  waste  of  time 
and  money  to  put  it  in  your  carnation 
field.  The  few  times  you  would  really 
need  to  water  would  not  pay  for  the 
trouble,  etc.  However,  if  you  plant  any 
carnations  for  summer  blooming,  by  all 
means  plant  them  within  reach  of  the 
water.  There  is  a  vast  difference  be- 
tween growing  a  carnation  in  the  field 
for  benching  and  for  blooming  in  the 
field.  In  the  latter  case  you  want  to 
push  them  along  as  rapidly  as  possible 
and  plenty  of  water  will  help  wonder- 
fully. 

Condition  of  SoiL 

There  is  one  warning  I  wish  to  give 
you,  and  that  is  to  stay  off  the  field 
while  the  soil  is  too  wet. 

If  the  soil  turns  up  wet,  and  will  not 
crumble,  you  would  better  leave  it  a 
few  days  longer,  until  it  will  crumble 
readily.  If  it  is  turned  up  wet  and  the 
warm  sun  beats  on  it,  and  perhaps  a 
drying  wind  springs  up,  the  soil  will 
become  lumpy  and  no  amount  of  culti- 
vating will  ever  put  it  into  first-class 
condition  during  the  whole  season.  Good 
plants  will  of  course  be  out  of  the  ques- 
tion. Flowing  in  the  fall  has  a  very 
beneficial  effect  in  this  respect,  by  keep- 
ing the  soil  loose  and  mellow,  so  it  can 
dry  out  quickly  in  the  spring.  Soils 
differ  in  texture  and  require  different 
lengths  of  time  to  dry  out  properly,  and 
the  heavier  the  soil  is  the  more  beneficial 
is  the  fall   plowing. 

You  will  also  find  it  wise  to  begin  the 
cultivating  the  first  day  of  the  planting. 
]n  the  evening,  before  quitting  time, 
have  a  man  go  o^■er  the  day's  planting 
with  the  cultivator,  to  loosen  the  soil 
between  the  rows.  The  fresh  soil  is 
packed  down  quickly  from  tramping 
across  the  field  in  planting,  etc.,  and  the 
cultivating  the  same  day  will  do  more 
good  than  three  cultivatings  after  the 
sun  has  beaten  down  on  it  a  week. 

Growing  Indoors. 

If  you  expect  to  grow  your  Mrs.  Law- 
son,  or  others,  inside  all  summer,  be  sure 
they  do  not  become  potbound  and 
stunted.  If  they  have  not  already  been 
shifted  into  the  pots  from  which  you 
expect  to  bench  them,  then  seize  upon 
the  first  opportunity  to  shift  them.  They 
must  be  kept  growing,  else  failure  will 
be  sure  to  result.  There  are  many  ways 
of    handling    them    successfully.      Some 


Ampelopsis  Veitchii. 


growers  pot  into  4-inch  pots  and  plunge 
outside  as  early  as  possible;  others  keep 
them  inside  all  the  time;  both  plant  on 
the  bench  in  June.  One  of  the  finest 
houses  of  Lawson  I  ever  saw  was  planted 
from  small  pots  in  February.  Almost 
any  method  is  good  if  you  will  keep  the 
one  aim  in  sight,  and  that  is,  to  keep 
them  on  the  move,  but  not  to  get  them 
too  soft.  A.  F.  J.  Baue. 


THE  AMPELOPSIS. 

The  ampelopsisi  is  a  quite  large  and 
most  useful  genus  of  hardy  climbers. 
One  species  enters  largely  into  the  plants- 
man 's  trade.  We  all  handle,  and  some 
of  us  largely,  that  unrivalled  climber, 
A.  tricuspidata,  so  universally  known  as 
A.  Veitchii.  It  has  many  aliases  among 
our  patrons,  being  called  Japanese  ivy, 
Boston  ivy,  etc.  For  the  covering  of  un- 
sightly walls,  stone  or  brick  barns,  and 
on  the  most  costly  mansions  if  the  owner 
chooses,  it  has  no  equal,  needing  no  sup- 
port of  any  kind. 

Though  making  but  a  moderate  growth 
the  first  two  years  it  is,  when  well  estab- 
lished, a  most  vigorous  grower  and  it 
climbs  to  the  roofs  of  buildings.  Will- 
iam Scott  says  there  is  a  fallacy  about 
its  growing  only  on  the  south  and  east 
aspects;  that  in  one  city  he  has  heard 
it  stated  that  it  did  best  on  the  north 
side.  It  will  grow  on  every  side  of  a 
house,  north  or  south,  but  should  be 
given  a  bushel  of  good  .soil  for  a  start, 
and  in  exposed  places  some  litter  over  the 
roots  the  first  year.  Millions  have  been 
planted  in  the  residence  portions  of 
cities,  and  millions  more  are  yet  to  be 
planted  as  cities  spread  out.  It  is  not  a 
suitable  climber  for  a  frame  house,  for 
the  house  must  be  painted  and  that  set- 
tles the  vine  unless  you  are  content  to 
cut  it  down  and  begin  again  from  the 
ground. 

Projiagation    is   by    cuttings    or    seed. 


The  cuttings  can  be  put  into  flats  and 
should  be  made  in  September  with  two 
or  three  eyes  of  the  current  year's 
growth.  A  light  loam  is  a  good  compost 
for  the  cuttings  and  a  shaded  bench  in 
the  greenhouse  is  the  place.  Or,  the  cut- 
tings can  be  put  at  once  into  the  ground 
in  a  coldframe.  They  should  be  wintered, 
whether  propagated  inside  or  out,  in  a 
coldframe  and  planted  out  the  following 
spring.  Those  who  have  raised  them 
from  seed  for  a  number  of  years  think  it 
the  cheapest  method.  Sow  the  seed  in 
March  thickly  in  flats,  covering  a  quarter 
inch.  In  May  or  June  pot  them  off  into 
2-ineh  pots  and  when  there  are  benches 
to  spare  shift  into  4-inch  and  grow  them 
on  all  summer  inside,  giving  them  an 
18-inch  stake.  In  September  set  them 
outside  and  let  them  get  the  fall  frosts 
slowly.  This  is  mentioned  because  they 
have  been  kept  indoors  till  October,  and 
then,  when  put  out,  get  a  severe  frost 
that  would  kill  them  to  the  ground.  A 
deep  frame  with  the  pots  plunged  is 
the  best  place  to  winter  them,  removing 
the  glass  covering  in  April  so  that  they 
are  in  no  way  forced. 

These  plants  a  year  old  will  be  most 
satisfactory  to  sell  to  your  customers, 
and  being  from  pots  there  is  no  risk  of 
losing  one.  Some  readers  may  say  you 
can  buy  plants  cheaper  than  you  can 
raise  them.  By  the  above  method  you 
will  find  Ampelopsis  Veitchii  a  more 
profitable  plant  than  many  others  you 
grow.  It  seems  to  thrive  in  any  soil 
when  once  established.  When  growing 
it  young  we  use  a  heavy  loam.

Coelogyne  G-istata. 


The  present  is  a  suitable  time  to  over- 
:uil  Ccelogyne  cristata,  that  most  useful 
iid  easily  cultivated  Avinter-blooming  or- 
jiid.     Flowering,  as  it  does,  during  Feb- 
nary  and  March,  when  cattleyas  are  not 
(10   abundant,   it  is   of  special  value   to 
ilorists.     The  genus  coilogyne  is  a  fairly 
;:irge    one,    but    the    variety    cristata    is 
the  only  one  of  much  commercial  value, 
('oelogyncs    succee«l   well   in   either   pots, 
nans   or   baskets,   perhaps   the   latter  re- 
roptacles    being    preferable.      They    need 
irood    drainage    and    a    mixture    of    fern 
fiber,    sphagnum   moss    and    lumpy   char- 
coal   for    compost.      Plants   which    have 
become    thoroughly    matted    with    roots 
and    in    which    the    bulbs    are    densely 
crowded    will    not    bloom    satisfactorily, 
but  should  be  pulled  to  pieces,  keeping 
as   many   roots    intact    as   possible,    and 
placed    more    thinly    in    new    baskets    or 
pans.     They  will  not  bloom  very  freely 
the  following  winter,   but  the  next  sea- 
son will  make  a  fine  show. 

In  summer  they  will  grow  well  in  a 
frame  or  house  where  they  can  be  shaded 
from  the  full  rays  of  the  sun.  They  do 
not  need  heavy  shade  and  after  the 
bulbs  are  half  developed  increase  the 
amount  of  sunlight  and  they  will  flower 
all  the  better  for  it.  Keep  lightly  syr- 
inged after  potting,  but  do  not  water 
until  growth  is  well  advanced.  Estab- 
lished plants  will  need  an  abundant 
water  supply  from  now  on  and  liquid 
manure  once  a  week  after  June  1  will 
be  found  helpful.  A  temperature  at 
night  of  50  to  55  degrees  suits  these 
plants  in  winter.  They  do  not  succeed 
well  in  a  warmer  house. 

There  are  several  forms  of  C.  cristata. 
The  Chatsworth  variety  has  extra  large 
flowers.  Alba  is  a  pure  white  form, 
flowering  later  than  the  ordinary  C.  cris- 
tata. There  is  also  a  pretty,  pale-lemon 
lipped  variety  named  Lemoniana. 

Scented  Geraniums. 

Almost  every  florist  grows  a  batch  of 
scented-leaved  geraniums,  of  which  there 
are  several  varieties.  These  and  lemon- 
scented  verbenas  are  popular  with  al- 
most every  person  and  the  grower  who 
has  a  good  batch  never  finds  much  trou- 
ble in  disposing  of  them.  There  is  quite 
a  good  demand  in  the  large  markets  for 
the  cut  stems,  which,  arranged  in  bowls 
•f  water,  yield  a  pleasant  perfume  in  a 
room.  For  cutting  from  July  to  Octo- 
iier,  a  plentiful  supply  may  be  had  out- 
loors  by  allowing  the  plants  two  feet 
ipart  in  the  rows  and  running  the  rows 
hree  feet  apart.  They  need  this  space, 
for  in  good  compost  they  will  make  vig- 
orous growths.  If  a  good  winter  sup- 
ply is  desired,  keep  a  percentage  of  the 
plants  in  pots,  shift  into  larger  sizes 
')efore  they  become  potbound,  pinch  oc- 
asionally,  keep  in  the  open  air  all  sum- 
mer, and  you  will  have  some  grand 
i)lants  in  the  fall. 

From  cuttings  taken  now,  good  plants 
in  6-inch  pots  may  be  had  by  the  end 
of     September.       The     old     roots     from 


which  you  will  cut  during  the  coming 
summer,  if  lifted  before  killing  frosts 
come,  potted  up  or  placed  in  flats  six 
inches  deep,  several  together,  will  also 
give  useful  shoots  for  bunching,  and 
plenty  of  cuttings  for  winter  propaga- 
tion, if  needed. 

Primulas. 

Seedlings  of  Primula  obcouica,  P.  Si- 
nensis and  the  new  yelloM,  P.  Kewensis, 
should  be  pricked  oft"  by  this  time  into 
flats,  using  a  light,  leaf-moldy  compost. 
Do  not  leave  them  too  long  before  pot- 
ting, or  a  loss  of  foliage  will  inevitably 
be  the  result.  A  house  with  a  carnation 
temperature  will  be  about  right  for 
them,  and  some  shade  will  be  necessary. 
Far  too  often  .these  plants  are  being 
ruined  by  being  too  long  in  ruinously 
high  temperatures.  It  should  be  remem- 
bered that  they  are  all  plants  needing 
cool  culture,  with  an  abundance  of  ven- 
tilation on  all  favorable  occasions.  In 
summer  they  do  best  in  frames,  from 
which  the  sashes  can  be  drawn  off  on 
cool,  cloudy  days  and  at  night,  unless 
thunder  storms  are  likely.  Grown  in 
this  way,  the  plants  arc  vigorous,  stocky 
and  far  superior  to  any  kept  in  the 
houses  during  the  hot  months. 

Marguerites 

Marguerites  are  still  blooming  j)ro- 
fusely,  but  Memorial  day  trade  usually 
cleans  them  up.  Have  you  a  good  batch 
already  propagated  for  next  winter  and 
spring  supply?  If  not,  you  probably 
cannot  get  any  suitable  cuttings  now,  as 
the  plants  carry  nothing  but  flowering 
wood.  Prune  back  some  of  those  done 
blooming,  moderately  bard.     Keep  them 


well  watered  and  as  soon  as  some  soft 
cuttings  appear  put  them  in  the  propa- 
gating bench.  The  plants  do  not  break 
freely  in  the  hot  months,  but  make  ram- 
pant growth  after  the  end  of  August. 

If  a  supply  of  flowering  plants  is 
needed  at  Christmas,  when  they  are  es- 
pecially useful,  save  a  number  of  your 
smallest  flowering  plants,  prune  back  to 
make  tliem  shapely,  pinch  when  needed, 
plunge  outdoors  Avhen  danger  of  frost  is 
gone,  let  them  root  through  the  bottoms 
of  tlie  i)ots  and  give  them  a  small  shift 
when  lifted,  place  in  a  cool,  light,  airy 
house  and  you  will  have  nice  Christmas 
stock. 

The  cuttings  you  have  put  in  this 
spring  will  make  excellent  plants  to  suc- 
ceed the  older  ones  and  will  give  a  suc- 
cession from  early  March  until  Memorial 
day.  Do  not  allow  any  flowers  to  be 
produced  through  the  summer.  Never 
let  them  get  into  a  dust  dry  state.  Ply 
the  liose  among  tliciu  daily  to  keep  down 
tlirips,  and  you  will  have  plants  which 
will  bo  a  croflit  to  you. 

Amaryllis. 

ThoKO  showy  ])ulbous  plants,  the  ama- 
ryllises,  are  not  so  much  grown  commer- 
cially as  we  woukl  wish.  The  fact  that 
the  large  flowers  bruise  easily  makes  it 
necessary  to  ship  them  in  the  bud.  These 
open  well  in  a  store  window,  or  when 
cut  conic  out  in  water  in  a  warm  room. 
The  hybrid  varieties  will  now  \ye  prac- 
tically done  flowering,  unless  the  bulbs 
have  been  retarded  in  cold  storage.  A 
great  mistake,  but  a  common  one,  is  to 
ilry  off  the  plants  immediately  the  flow- 
ers are  gone.  Nothing  could  be  more 
harmful.  Not  alone  on  amaryllis  is  this 
practice  conunon,  but  with  gloxinias, 
acliimenes,  tuberous  begonias,  freesias 
and  many  other  bulbous  or  tuberous- 
rooted  plants. 

A  liberal  supply  of  water  should  be 
given  amaryllis  after  flowering,  accom- 
l)anie(l  by  liquid  manure  stimulants  until 
leaf  growth  is  completed,  after  which  it 
may  slowly  be  reduced  until  they  are 
quite  dry.  Plants  raised  from  seed,  the 
best  method  of  propagation,  should  be 
kej)t     growing    continuously     until    they

bloom,  which  may  be  as  early  as  fifteen 
months,  or  as  long  as  three  years,  ac- 
cording to  the  treatment  received. 

Do  not  place  amaryllises  under  the 
benches,  but  give  them  a  light,  sunny  lo- 
cation until  growth  is  completed,  then 
they  can  be  placed  in  a  more  out  of  the 
way  place,  if  desired,  and  when  the  foli- 
age is  decaying  they  can  be  stood  under 
a  bench  until  the  time  for  potting  again 
arrives.  The  best  time  to  sow  seed  is 
January  or  February,  but  home  saved 
seed  is  better  started  as  soon  as  gath- 
ered. 

Lorraine  Beconias. 

Cuttings,  with  us,  are  now  being  pro- 
duced in  abundance  on  the  old  Lorraine 
plants,  which  were  rested  for  a  .time. 
Early  batches  are  rooted  and  potted  off, 
but  we  can  get  good  plants  from  cut- 
tings put  in  for  another  six  weeks  yet. 
As  a  rule,  plants  from  leaf  cuttings  are 
more  vigorous  in  habit  and  carry  larger 
blooms  than  those  from  shoots.  The 
latter  have  a  dense  and  more  bushy  habit 
and,  while  the  flowers  are  smaller,  thpy 
are  much  more  thickly  scattered  over 
the  plants. 

This  begonia  does  not  make  rapid 
growth  during  the  hot  months,  but  after 
the  end  ot  August  it  increases  in  size 
rapidly.     Give  the  young  plants  a  warm 


German  Iris. 

There  are  a  number  of  herbaceous  per- 
ennials which  are  useful  to  commercial 
florists.  One  of  these  is  the  well-known 
and  popular  German  iris.  Its  culture  is 
simple  and  it  increases  in  size  quite 
rapidly,  being  best  transplanted  every 
second  or  third  year.  T^je  best  time  for 
planting  is  in  August  or  early  Septem- 
ber, but  it  can  be  moved  any  time  be- 
fore the  ground  freezes,  as  well  as  in 
early  spring.  Some  years  the  flowers  are 
in  good  season  for  Memorial  day,  when 
they  are  especially  useful  in  making  up 
large  cemetery  bouquets.  The  present 
spring  has  been  so  cold  and  backward, 
however,  over  the  greater  part  of  the 
country  that  many  will  not  have  them 
in  flower  by  May  30  tiiis  year. 

There  are  now  many  flue  varieties  of 
Iris  Germanica,  comprising  pure  white, 
clear  golden  yellow,  pink,  dark  blue, 
pale  blue  and  a  variety  of  other  sepa- 
rate and  mixed  colors,  and  even  if  the 
flovtcrs  cannot  be  all  sold  it  would  pay 
growers  to  have  a  few  clumps  of  them 
on  their  place,  for,  being  of  such  sim- 
ple culture  and  withal  so  popular,  many 
plants  can  in  this  way  be  disposed  of  to 
visiting  flower  buyers.  Keep  the  plants 
named,  if  you  have  an  assortment,  and 
you  ought  to  have  no  trouble  in  dispos- 
ing of  a  good  many  each  year.

bench  well  up  to  the  light,  with  only  a 
thin  coat  of  shading  over  the  glass.  Do 
not  allow  any  flowers  to  be  produced 
and  pinch  out  the  tops  of  any  needing 
it.  Lorraine  begonias  seem  to  succeed 
best  under  warm  treatment  until  the 
flowers  start  to  open,  after  which  time 
they  are  best  kept  in  a  temperature 
that  will  suit  carnations. 


Brief  Reminders. 

Wliere  have  you  stored  your  freesia 
bulbs?  They  should  not  be  dried  right 
after  the  flowers  are  cut,  but  gradually, 
until  the  foliage  shows  discoloration. 
Place  in  a  cool,  dry  shed  when  quite  dry 
and  pick  out  the  bulbs  when  opportunity 
offers. 

Turn  over  your  compost  piles  prepared 


for  carnations,  roses,  chrysanthemums 
or  other  stock  in  benches.  Add  some 
bone  meal  in  turning  it  and  chop  up  the 
rougher  sod. 

Plant  out  any  left-over  plants  of  aza- 
leas, acacias,  ericas  and  epacris,  pick 
away  all  loose  soil  from  the  balls,  remove 
the  drainage  ana  be  sure  you  plant 
firmly.  Give  them  a  sunny  location, 
where  you  can  readily  reach  them  witl.' 
the  hose. 

Keep  all  bedding  stock  freely  venti- 
lated. Don't  neglect  the  watering.  Try 
and  get  some  flowers  on  as  many  gera- 
niums, heliotropes  and  other  pot  plants 
as  possible.  Customers  usually  prefer 
the  plant  carrying  a  truss  of  flowers  even 
if  it  is  of  smaller  size. 

It  is  safe  now  to  plant  out  verbenas, 
dianthus,  pentstemons,  antirrhinums, 
stocks,  asters  and  some  other  annuals, 
but  do  not  rjsk  petunias,  salvias,  coleus, 
heliotropes,  alternantheras  and  othei 
more  tender  stock  until  toward  the  end 
of  the  month,  even  though  a  hot  wave 
may  tempt  you  to  do  so. 

As  you  sell  bedding  plants,  don 't  leave 
the  pots  lying  around  the  houses  or 
frames.  Kfeep  them  picked  up  and 
stored  according  to  their  sizes.  Remem- 
ber that  cleanliness,  which  may  be  taken 
as  an  equivalent  of  neatness  floricul- 
turally,  is  next  to  godliness. 

Cut-worms  have  made  their  annual  ap- 
pearance in  the  east  and  will  soon  do 
much  damage  unless  speedily  checked. 
Lay  down  a  mixture  of  bran,  Paris 
green  and  powdered  sugar  for  their  ben- 
efit, and  try  hand  picking  at  night  with 
a  lantern  if  you  have  a  bad  attack  of 
them.  It  is  tedious,  but  necessary.  Keep 
the  ground  constantly  cultivated.  This 
also  helps  to  discommode  them. 

Memorial  day  will  be  here  in  two 
weeks.  Time  your  crops  as  closely  as 
possible  for  this  important  holiday.  It 
looks  now  as  if  there  would  be  but  little 
outdoor  material  available  this  year. 

Give  peonies  a  sprinkling  of  nitrate 
of  soda  or  some  other  stimulant.  It 
will  materially  affect  the  quality  of  the 
blooms. 

Look  out  for  aphis  on  your  hardy 
roses  and  dose  with  a  solution  of  whale 
oil  soap  at  once. 


DAHLIAS  FROM  CUTTINGS. 

In  the  Beviev^'  of  April  25,  under  the 
heading  Seasonable  Suggestions,  I  notice 
some  items  on  dahlias  from  green  cut- 
tings. As  a  practical  commercial  grower 
I  can  indorse  a  portion  of  the  notes,  and 
for  the  same  reason  I  will  have  to  take 
issue  with  you  on  others. 

That  a  well  grown  plant  from  a  cut- 
ting will  give  excellent  results  is  scarcely 
open  to  question.  They  make  plants  of 
fine  form,  and  flower  freely,  and  if  prop- 
agated and  grown  intelligently,  there 
should  be  no  serious  question  of  their 
producing  good  tubers — not  so  large,  of 
course,  as  those  grown  from  tubers,  but 
nevertheless  good  commercial  stock. 

I  agree  also  on  the  good  qualities  of 
the  pot  roots.  These  have  my  hearty 
indorsement  in  my  recent  work,  "The 
Dahlia  Manual." 

But  when  it  comes  to  the  question  of 
green  plants  for  a  general  commercial 
trade  in  a  country  as  large  as  ours,  the 
proposition  has  in  it  a  lavge  element  of 
the  impractical.  In  Europe  it  is  quite 
practical  and,  as  you  say,  the  universal 
practice. 

But  conditions  in  Europe  cannot  be 
compared    with    conditions    in    America. 


May  9,  1907. 


The  Weekly  Florists^  Review^ 


1895 


There  a  few  hours'  travel  and  a  cheap 
parcels  post  make  practical  what  in  this 
country  is  not  practical.  Here  a  grower 
often  ships  to  points  where  the  order 
will  be  from  three  to  six  days  in  reach- 
ing the  place  where  the  plants  are  to  be 
sold  or  planted.  This,  in  the  warm 
spring  months,  results  often  in  either 
badly  wilted  or  decayed  foliage.  Or,  if 
moisture  and  temperature  have  been  in 
proportion,  a  three  to  six  days'  growth 
while  in  a  crjwvded  condition  will  have 
seriously  changed  the  shape  and  de- 
creased the  future  usefulness  of  the 
plants. 

For  local  points  the  green  plant  is  all' 
right,  but  for  distant  points  the  tuber 
or  pot  root  is  undoubtedly  superior.  Ship- 
ments sent  to  dealers  as  a  rule  are  not 
so  objectionable  as  those  sent  to  the  ama- 
teur and  to  private  gardens,  as  the  pro- 
fessional understands  how  to  treat  them 
so  much  better. 

Years  ago  I  used  this  green  plant  stock 
to  some  extent  for  supplying  trade,  but 
complaints  were  so  common  of  the  green 
plants,  and  compliments  so  general  on 
the  tubers,  that  I  abandoned  the  green 
plants  entirely,  except  for  my  own  grow- 
ing, and  do  not  care  to  offer  them  again. 

A  word  further.  While  I  believe  we 
all  agree  on  the  good  qualities  of  pot 
roots,  still  I  believe  more  care  should  be 
used  by  the  propagator.  Last  year  there 
was  general  complaint  of  blind  stock  and 
this  year  starts  out  not  much  better.  In 
some  of  the  new  stock  which  I  have  pro- 
cured this  year,  nearly  one-third  is  blind. 
Propagators  have  evidently  taken  the  cut- 
ting off  just  above  the  joint,  instead  of 
just  below.  W.  W.  WiLMORE. 


CLEMATIS. 


The  writer  has  read  with  much  inter- 
est the  article  about  clematis  in  the- 
issue  of  the  Eeview^  for  May  2,  page 
1817.  We  are  glad  to  see  this  valuable 
climber  receiving  attention  in  your  col- 
umns. Clematis  paniculata  has  attained 
wide  popularity,  and  deservedly  so,  but 
the  large-flowering  varieties  are  worthy 
of  much  more  general  planting  than  is 
at  present  accorded  them. 

We  regret  to  see  that  your  corre- 
spondent assumes,  apparently,  that  the 
large-flowering  clematis  sold  in  this 
country  are  all  imported  stock.  We  grow 
and  sell  to  the  trade  annually  a  matter 
of  125,000  to  150,000  ourselves,  and 
there  are  several  other  American  houses 
that  propagate  them  in  considerable 
quantities.  If  we  may  say  it  without 
the  imputation  of  undue  prejudice  in 
favor  of  our  own  goods,  we  should  like 
to  recommend  American  grown  clematis 
as  more  likely  to  succeed  in  this  country 
than  the  fleshy-rooted,  somewhat  drop- 
sical plants  imported  from  Holland. 
The  soil  is  so  different  there,  and  the 
amount  of  moisture  so  much  greater  in 
both  ground  and  atmosphere,  that  it  is 
small  wonder  the  plants  frequently  fail 
when  transplanted  to  the  very  different 
conditions  of  this  country. 

Your  correspondent  states  that  one 
dare  not  guarantee  clematis  to  live.  With 
American  grown  clematis  we  see  no  rea- 
son why  tins  can  not  be  as  safely  done 
as  with  most  other  plants.  As  stated  in 
the  other  article,  they  should  have  rich, 
deep  soil.  It  is  also  of  the  utmost  im- 
portance that  the  newly  set  plants 
should  have  firm  supports  upon  which  to 
climb,  and  should  be  tied  to  the  supports 
as  soon  as  they  have  made  even  a  few 
inches  of  growth.    If  a  plant  is  sprawled 


Store  of  the  Phoenix  Nursery  G).^  Bloomiagton,  IlL 


loose  upon  the  ground,  and  blown  back 
and  forth  by  the  wind,  it  is  likely  to 
break  the  stem  entirely,  or  even  if 
that  does  not  happen  it  causes  the 
outer  bark  to  split  and  renders  the  plant 
much  more  susceptible  to  fungous  dis- 
eases or  other  troubles.  We  are  con- 
vinced that  most  of  the  so-called  clem- 
atis blight  is  nothing  more  than  the 
breaking  or  serious  cracking  of  the 
stems  near  the  ground,  from  the  lack  of 
being  fastened  to  a  firm  support. 

Your  correspondent  mentions  that 
Clematis  paniculata  roots  freely  from 
cuttings  and  then  states  that  the  large- 
flowering  varieties  are  usually  propagat- 
ed by  grafting.  It  is  true  that  the 
European  growers  propagate  clematis  by 
grafting,  and  by  layering,  but  all  the 
American  growers,  so  far  as  we  know, 
grow  the  large-flowering  varieties  from 
cuttings.  It  is  quite  a  irick  to  do  it  just 
right,  but  when  fully  understood  it  is  a 
much  more  rapid  method  of  propaga- 
tion and,  to  our  mind,  produces  better 
plants.  As  to  Clematis  paniculata,  it 
roots  readily  enough  from  cuttings,  but 
we  know  of  no  commercial  establishment 
which  propagates  them  in  that  way. 
They  can  be  grown  much  more  easily  and 
economically  from  seed.

THE  PHOENIX  STORE. 

The  Phoenix  Nursery  Co.,  at  Blooni- 
ington,  HI.,  is  doing  a  nice  retail  flower 
business  in  the  store  illustrated  in  this 
issue  of  the  Review.  The  manager  is 
Fred  H.  Rowe,  formerly  with  the  Chi- 
cago Carnation  Co.,  of  Joliet,  and 
brother  of  Harry  Rowe,  the  Chicago  re- 
tailer. The  retail  store  was  oi)enecl  last 
September.  It  is  22x90  feet  and  fitted 
up  in  first-class  style.  The  fixtures  in 
the  store  are  in  white  enamel  and  include 
a  set  of  seed  cases  where  a  considerable 
stock  is  carried  and  a  nice  trade  done  in 
the  season.  The  partition  and  ice-box 
separate  the  salesroom  from  the  work- 
room in  the  rear.  The  ice-lx)x  itself  is 
eight  feet  six  inches  wide,  three  feet  six 
inches  deep  and  eight  feet  ten  inches 
high.  The  ice  goes  in  the  top  from  the 
rear,  which  is  a  great  convenience.     Tlie 


Phoenix  Nursery  Co.  has  25,000  square 
feet  of  glass  devoted  to  cut  flowers  and 
plants.  Six  hundred  acres  are  planted  to 
nursery  stock.  The  business  was  estab- 
lished at  Bloomington  in  1852  and  was 
incorporated  in  1890. 


PRESERVATIVES  OF  WOOD. 

I  am  adding  to  my  present  plant  one 
house  21x75  feet  in  which  roses  will  be 
grown.  In  my  town  no  dealers  carry 
cypress  lumber  in  stock,  which  makes  it 
expensive  to  have  it  shipped  from  the 
lower  part  of  the  state,  but  dealers  have 
a  liquid  preservative  known  by  trade 
name  of  CarboJinum,  which  they  claim 
nmkes  ordinary  pine  lumber  last  many 
times  the  usual  length.  Can  you  tell  me 
if  this  Carbolinutn  is  injurious  to  plant 
life  or  if  it  materiallv  adds  to  the  length 
of  life  of  wood?       '  J.  N.  H. 

We  infer  from  his  letter  that  the  pine 
lumber  treated  with  the  chemical  named 
is  to  be  used  for  other  parts  of  the 
greenhouse,  and  not  for  the  roof  con- 
struction. It  is  jtossible,  however,  that 
he  is  thinking  of  using  it  for  the  entire 
greenhouse  and  in  that  case  we  certainly 
would  not  recommend  pine  lumber,  even 
when  treated  with  creosote;  nor  even 
cypress,  for  that  matter,  if  it  were  to  be 
treated  with  chemicals.  All  wood  pre- 
servatives that  we  have  ever  seen,  or 
heard  of,  contain  a  certain  quantity  of 
coal  tar,  or  the  active  principles  of  it, 
and  all  florists  are  well  aware  of  the 
fact  that  tar  would  not  be  a  desirable 
material  to  use  as  a  coating  for  the  roof 
of  a  greenhouse.  In  our  booklet  on  how 
to  erect  a  greenhouse,  under  the  heading 
"Wood  Posts  and  Walls,"  we  state 
clearly  that  tar  should  never  be  used  on 
account  of  its  effect  on  plant  life. 

It  is  .  true  that  cypress  contains 
nearly  all  of  the  active  principles  of  creo- 
sote, but  they  are  blended  with  the  fibers 
of  the  wood  in  a  way  that  no  soaking, 
dipping  or  brushing  process  could  do  it 
— it  has  become  a  j)art  of  the  substance 
through  ages  of  growth  and  through  evo- 
lution of  the  tree  thousands  of  years  ago. 
Tt  is  this  peculiar  quality  in  cypress  that 
gives    it    sucli    groat    durability  —  which

makes  it  a  long-lived  wood,  which  no  man 
can  imitate  with  any  degree  of  success. 
Your  subscriber  refers  to  Carbolinum 
for  treating  pine  to  give  it  durability, 
but  on  making  inquiry  of  several  large 
chemists  and  wholesale  druggists  we  can 
find  no  such  article,  or  learn  of  it.  Chem- 
ists tell  us  that  every  wood  preservative 
contains  some  coal  tar,  as  before  stated, 
and  this  precludes  any  question  as  to 
whether  it  is  desirable  for  greenhouse 
structures  or  not.  It  is  safe  to  say  that 
cypress  would  never  be  used  for  green 
house  structures  if  pine,  or  a  cheaper 
grade  of  lumber,  could  be  treated  with 
chemicals  and  made  to  fill  its  place.  We 
repeat,  that  the  man  who  uses  cypress 
and  gets  the  right  kind  of  cypress  makes 
no  mistake  and  will  always  be  glad  that 
he  did  not  try  something  else.    -

PLATYCERIUMS  FOR  MARKET. 

I  am  more  than  ever  convinced,  says 
a  writer  in  the  Horticultural  Advertiser 
(England),  that  it  only  requires  a  little 
perseverance  to  make  platyceriums  among 
the  most  popular  plants  for  decorations. 
I  have  a  plant  which  has  been  in  the 
house  for  some  weeks  and  it  is  as  good 
now  as  when  it  first  came;  in  fact,  it 
is  making  growth.     It  is  much  admired 


broad  basal  fronds  and  a  few  long  ones 
radiating  out.  The  plant  referred  to 
above  has  five  fronds  about  eighteen 
inclies  long,  some  shorter  ones,  and  the 
pot  is  entirely  covered  with  the  broad, 
sliell-like  basal  ones  and  can  only  be 
moistened  by  standing  it  in  water. 

Although  the  platyceriums  will  grow 
on  a  piece  of  wood,  I  find  more  liberal 
treatment  encourages  better  growth. 
Plenty  of  sphagnum  and  peat,  with  a  lit- 
tle dried  cow.  manure  or  artificial  fer- 
tilizer, or  even  liquid  manure,  will  help 
tliem.  The  best  way  to  increase  the  stock 
is  to  fix  the  stock  plant  on  blocks  of 
j)eat.  The  roots  soon  penetrate  and  bulbils 
are  formed  which  develop  into  young 
plants.  This  does  not  apply  to  all. 
Grande,  as  an  instance,  never  prodtices 
bulbils  and  can  only  be  propagated  from 
spores,  which  should  be  sowm  on  sphag- 
num, crock  dust,  and  peat. 


PHILODENDRON  SODIROI. 

Ssveral  of  the  philodendrons  are  un- 
suitable for  making  shapely  ornameptal 
plants,  but  the  species  illustrated,  P. 
Sodiroi,  is  one  that  makes  a  handsome 
specimen.  As  all  the  species  are  na- 
tive of  tropical  America,  they  require 
a  warm,  moist  atmosphere,  our  summar 
nights  in  the  north  being  often  too  cool 


Phitodendron  Sodiroi. 


by  every  one  who  sees  it.  It  is  a  hand- 
some plant,  of  the  best  type  of  Alci- 
corne.  I  am  not  sure  if  I  have  men- 
tioned it  before,  but  a  friend  writing 
from  America  told  me  that  he  had  made 
a  specialty  of  them  and  used  them  with 
great  effect  for  house  decorations.  The 
small,  dense-growing  plants  are  not  so 
desirable     as    those     grown     well,     with 


to  grow  them  well.  From  spring  until 
fall,  their  growing  season,  they  should 
be  copiously  watered  and  consequently 
the  drainage  of  the  pot  or  pan  should 
be  ampl?  and  the  compo?t  of  very  por- 
ous material,  some  fibrous  loam  with 
peat,  fmall  lumps  of  charcoal  and 
chopped  sphagnum  moss.  Less  water 
should    be    given    during    winter.      Al- 


though by  no  means  a  plant  for  the 
commercial  florist,  it  is  rich  and  orna- 
mental for  the  warm  conservatory.  Its 
handsome  leaves  are  described  as  milky 
white  above  with  reddish  veins.    W.  S. 


THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Patrick  Creighton. 

Patrick  Creighton,  aged  85,  died  April 
26  at  his  home  on  Frank  street,  McKees 
Rocks,  Pa.  He  was  born  in  Ireland  and 
came  to  this  country  in  1846.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Roman  Catholic  church. 
Three  daughters,  three  grandchildren  and 
two  great-grandchildren  survive. 

Mrs  M.  A,  Farrington. 

Mrs.  M.  A.  Farrington,  until  recently 
proprietor  of  the  Fairview  Greenhouses, 
at  Victoria,  B.  C,  died  last  week.  She 
sold  out  last  summer  and  took  a  trip  to 
California  for  the  benefit  of  her  health, 
returning  home   about  a  month   ago. 

Charles  Balderston. 

Charles  Balderston,  a  well-known  rose 
grower  at  Colora,  Md.,  died  April  28, 
after  an  illness  with  the  grip.  He  was 
61  years  old.  Mr.  Balderston  was  re- 
nowned for  his  success  with  Jacqueminot, 
of  which  he  had  for  many  years  sent 
some    splendid   flowers   to    city    markets. 


NOTES  FROM  ENGLAND. 

Our  large  forcers  of  market  roses 
have  in  some  cases  had  strange  and  even 
disastrous  experiences  this  season.  Vis- 
iting some  large  forced  rose  growing  es- 
tablishments during  last  January,  I 
heard  many  complaints  of  the  manner 
in  which  pot  roses  growing  for  cut 
bloom  were  behaving,  in  some  cases 
whole  houses  of  many  thousands  abso- 
lutely refusing  to  grow  or  to  respond  to 
the  application  of  heat  and  forcing 
treatment,  except  in  a  very  slow,  irregu- 
lar and  unsatisfactory  way.  It  is  the 
practice  to  get  the  pot  roses  under  glass 
and  gradually  give  them  more  and  more 
heat  some  considerable  time  before 
Christmas,  if  the  roses  are  required  to 
be  cut  in  the  early  spring  months.  In 
the  last  week  in  January,  or  thereabouts, 
the  buds  should  be  assuming  consider- 
able size,  but  many  of  the  houses  I  in- 
spected were  only  then  getting  into 
growth  and  had  buds  in  some  instances 
no  larger  than  oat  grains,  in  spite  of 
the  fact  that  the  grower  had  given  them 
precisely  the  same  treatment  as  in  the 
previous  year,  which  should  have  pro- 
duced growth  fully  a  month  in  advance 
of  what  was  actually  done. 

Many  were  the  theories  advanced  by 
the  various  growers  as  to  the  cause  of 
this  costly  loss  of  time  and  cultivation, 
and  for  the  benefit  of  American  growers 
who  may  have  had  a  similar  experience 
I  give  the  two  most  likely  theories  as 
told  to  me  by  the  largest  and  oldest 
growers.  One  theory  was  that  the  whole 
trouble  arose  from  the  ripening  of  the 
wood  in  the  hot  weather  experienced  dur- 
ing the  summer  of  1906,  the  prolonged 
hot  weather  and  comparative  absence  of 
rain  causing  the  sap  to  dry  up  and  the 
bark  to  become  very  hard  and  dry  and 
very  tightly  compressed  round  the  inner 
wood.  Thus,  when  required  to  be  forced, 
there  was  not  sufficient  sap  in  the  plant, 
and  even  what  there  was  could  not  work 
freely,  owing  to  the  hard  and  tight  na- 
ture of  the  outside  bark.  It  is  a  well- 
known  fact  that  the  quicker  the  sap  of  a 


■*T^/V;"K~

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


1897 


plant  can  be  got  into  motion  the  quicker 
will  the  growth  be  made.  In  the  opinion 
of  some  the  foregoing  fault  can  be 
remedied  by  more  copious  supplies  of 
water  during  these  hot,  dry  summers, 
and  by  not  practicing  the  drying  off 
method  so  heavily  when  inducing  the 
plant  to  ripen  off. 

According  to  another  theory  the  cause  of 
the  trouble  was  the  almost  total  absence  of 
frost  during  October  and  November  of 
1906  in  this  country.  Practically  speak- 
ing, up  to  the  time  of  being  taken  into 
the  houses  for  forcing,  the  plants  never 
felt  the  effects  of  a  single  frost.  Con- 
sequently they  were  never  properly  dor- 
mant or  ripened,  and  when  forcing  com- 
menced they  were  only  partly  at  rest, 
or  in  fact  had  never  had  the  required 
rest  from  the  time  of  ripening  to  the 
time  of  starting  into  growth  again.  It 
is  a  well-known  fact  that  the  longer  and 
better  a  forcing  article  is  ripened  and 
rested,  or  in  a  dormant  state,  and  the 
more  absolute  the  dormant  state  is,  so 
much  better  and  quicker  will  it  respond 
to  forcing  treatment  afterward.  The 
following  remedy  for  this  half  dormant 
state  was  suggested  to  me:  Before 
placing  the  plants  in  the  forcing  house, 
subject  them  to  a  week  or  two  of  a  few- 
degrees  of  frost  in  an  ice  chamber,  and 
thus,  as  it  were,  put  them  more  soundly 
to  sleep.  This  process  would  certainly 
appear  more  natural,  judging  from  the 
behavior  of  roses  grown  out  of  doors, 
which,  it  will  be  noticed,  grow  better  and 
produce  their  blooms  earlier  outside  when 
the  preceding  winter  has  been  severe. 
Whether  the  method  would  be  too  costly 
for  commercial  use  remains  for  the  ex- 
perimenter to  prove,  but  I  imagine  the 
time  is  coming  when  every  up-to-date 
market  nursery  will  consider  a  refriger- 
ating plant  on  the  premises  quite  as 
necessary  as  the  heating  apparatus. 

Winter  or  American  carnations  are 
continuing  to  make  headway  in  public 
favor,  and  although  the  quantity  is  in- 
creasing rapidly  the  demand  is  fully 
equal  to  it  and  prices  continue  at  a 
profitable  level.  Certainly  they  will 
never  become  so  popular  here  as  in 
America.  In  England  almost  every  de- 
scription of  flower  is  grown  and  a  public 
demand  exists  for  it,  no  one  flower  being 
very  much  above  anything  else  in  public 
favor.  Judging  from  appearances,  in 
America  roses  and  carnations  absorb 
three-fourths  of  the  public  taste,  leaving 
the  host  of  other  flowers  to  fill  up  the 
other  quarter.  In  England  the  contrary 
is  the  case;  to  a  certain  extent  every- 
thing is  popular  and  in  demand  as  its 
season  comes  round;  consequently  those 
big  establishments  devoted  to  practically 
one  cultivation  are  seldom  met  with  here, 
but  at  least  a  dozen  or  more  subjects  are 
grown  in  every  nursery.  J.  B. 


JOHN  W.  DUNCAN. 

John  W.  Duncan,  good  gardener  that 
he  is,  was  born  at  Glack,  Aberdeenshire, 
Scotland,  thirty-eight  years  ago,  where 
his  father  had  charge  of  the  estate  and 
gardens  for  over  thirty  years.  He  served 
his  apprenticeship  in  gardening  under 
his  father  and  came  to  America  in  1886. 
His  first  place  on  this  side  of  the  Atlan- 
tic was  on  the  W.  D.  Pickman  estate, 
Beverly,  Mass.,  one  of  the  finest  old 
places  on  the  now  popular  North  Shore, 
where  he  stayed  several  years.  He  was 
next  for  two  years  under  Mr.  Monteith 
on  the  G.  A.  Nickerson  estate  in  Ded- 
ham,  Mass.     This  place  was  at  that  time 


John  W.  Duncan. 


famous  for  its  crotons  and  other  stove 
I)lants.  On  leaving  there  he  took  charge 
of  the  summer  estate  of  J.  A.  Rararill, 
New  London,  Conn.,  where  he  stayed 
several  years.  He  was  next  located  in 
Bridgeport,  Conn.,  for  two  years. 

After  this  he  took  charge  of  the 
estate  of  W.  H.  S.  Wood,  Greenwich, 
Conn.,  where  in  a  short  time  he  got  to- 
gether one  of  the  finest  collections  of 
trees,  shrubs  and  lierbaceous  plants  to 
be  seen  in  that  section.  His  frequent 
contributions  from  here  to  the  shows  of 
the  American  Institute  in  New  York 
were  always  attractive.  About  six  years 
ago  he  removed  to  Boston  to  accept  the 
position  of  assistant  superintendent  of 
parks,  which  he  still  retains. 

Mr.  Duncan  was  for  several  years  sec- 
retary of  the  American  Association  of 
Park  Superintendents  and  is  now  one  of 
its  vice-presidents.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Massachusetts  Horticultural  Society 
and  since  coming  to  Boston  has  been  a 
staunch  supporter  of  the  Gardeners'  and 
Florists '  Club.  He  is  up  to  date,  per- 
sistent and  progressive,  a  thorough 
gardener   and   a   staunch    friend.

MENDEL'S  THEORY. 

"The  Mendelian  Theory"  was  the 
subject  of  an  address  at  once  interest- 
ing and  instructive,  gi\-«n  by  P.  Murray 
Thomson,  at  the  March  meeting  of  the 
Scottish  Horticultural  Association.  In 
the  course  of  his  address  Mr.  Thomson 
directed  attention  to  the  fact  that,  al- 
though Mendel 's  paper  was  published  in 
1865,  it  was  lost  to  the  world  of  science 
till  1900,  but  that  since  its  discovery 
numerous  experiments  have  been  carried 
out  to  test  what  is  now  generally  known 


as  the  Mendelian  law.  Mendel  worked 
with  forms  of  garden  peas  possessing 
characters  remaining  constant  from  gen- 
eration to  generation,  crossed  with  other 
varieties  having  differentiating  constant 
characters.  The  lecturer  showed,  large- 
ly by  means  of  diagrams,  the  results 
which  Mendel  observed  when  experiment- 
ing with  each  of  seven  pairs  of  differ- 
entiating characters,  and  the  interesting 
deductions  which  he  drew  from  them. 
Crossing  tall  with  dwarf  peas,  or  round, 
smooth  poas  with  wrinkled,  he  obtained 
in  tlie  first  generation  all  tall  or  all 
round,  smooth,  according  to  the  pair  ex- 
perimented with,  but  that  on  this  prog- 
eny being  self-fertilized,  and  the  result- 
ing seeds  grown,  the  character  which 
had  been  recessive  or  suppressed  in  the 
first  generation  reappeared,  the  plants 
of  the  second  generation  producing  tall 
and  dwarf,  or  round,  smooth  and 
wrinkled,  in  the  proportion  of  three 
' '  dominants  ' '  to  one  ' '  recessive. ' '  He 
further  observed  that  while  the  reces- 
sives  and  one-third  of  the  dominants 
tiiereafter  continiied  to  breed  true,  two- 
thirds  of  the  dominants  continued  to  act 
as  the  hybrids  of  the  first  generation 
iiad  (loiio.  In-eaking  up  into  two  classes, 
three-fourths  showing  the  dominant 
character  and  one-fourth  the  recessive. 
With  a  knowledge  of  Mendel's  law  the 
work  of  the  hybridist  and  plant  breeder 
has  been  much  simplified,  and  the  speak- 
er urged  all  horticulturists,  particularly 
the  younger  generation,  to  engage  in  a 
little  experimental  work,  believing  that 
thereby  their  labors  would  be  made  more 
interesting.

The  Proceedings  of  the  Sixteenth  An- 
nual Meeting  of  the  American  Carna- 
tion Society  has  been  issued  as  a  pam- 
phlet of  148  pages.  It  contains  a  sten- 
ographic report  of  the  Toronto  meeting, 
together  with  the  essays  read,  and  pub- 
lished in  the  Review  at  the  time,  to 
which  is  appended  a  list  of  carnations 
registered  in  1906  and  1907,  and  a  list 
of  the  membership  of  the  society.

After  October  1,  1907,  a  letter  to 
any  country  in  the  postal  union  may  be 
sent  for  5  cents  for  the  first  ounce,  and 
3  cents  for  each  succeeding  ounce  or 
fraction  of  an  ounce.  At  present  it  is 
5  cents  for  each  half  ounce. 

Several  pieces  of  badly  mutilated 
mail  recently  have  reached  the  Review, 
accompanied  by  the  post-office's  explana- 
tion that  it  happened  "while  passing 
through  the  pneumatic  tubes. ' '  Last 
week  C.  W.  Benson  was  the  great- 
est sufferer,  the  letter  containing  copy 
for  his  half-page  advertisement  being  so 
badly  soaked  that  the  address  was 
illegible  and  it,  was  returned  to  him, 
looking,  as  he  said,  "as  though  it  had 
been  through  the  drainage  canal  and  the 
Chicago  river,  as  well  as  the  tube." 


COLD  IN  MAY. 


Just  as  the  people  were  beginning  to 
believe  the  point  of  human  endurance 
had  been  reached  in  eccentric  meteoro- 
logical conditions,  the  god  of  unseason- 
able weather  sifted  enough  snow  out  of 
a  murky  sky  to  white  the  city  streets 
until  it  melted,  and  in  the  suburbs,  where 
the  greenhouses  are,  to  leave  a  blanket 
varying  from  a  half-inch  to  an  inch  and 
a  half  in  thickness.  This  was  May  3, 
and  the  temperature  at  Chicago  went 
down  to  34  degrees.  The  cold  weather 
extended  throughout  the  greater  part  of 
the  middle  western  states,  snow  falling 
in  many  states  just  west  of  the  Missis- 
sippi river,  and  as  far  east  as  Ohio.  In 
Nebraska,  where  a  high  wind  was  blow- 
ing, drifts  large  enough  to  delay  trains 
were  formed. 

The  weather  man  said  it  was  the  cold- 
est May  day  since  1875,  with  the  single 
exception  of  May  14,  1895,  when  the 
mercury  registered  32  degrees  above  zero. 
But  there  was  no  snow  then.  May  2, 
1875,  there  was  a  temperature  of  27  de- 
grees, but  still  no  snow. 


THE  PRICE  OF  PIPE. 

The  price  of  pipe  is  becoming  a  mat- 
ter of  considerable  importance  to  those 
who  are  contemplating  the  erection  of 
new  greenhouses,  or  who  have  houses 
under  way  but  have  not  yet  bought  the 
pipe.  Not  only  is  the  price  going  up, 
but  the  demand  is  so  great  that  it  is 
becoming  difficult  to  get  promise  of  de- 
livery at  any  early  date.    Jobbing  houses 


offer  quite  a  variety  of  reasons  for  this. 
It  is  said  that  floods  in  the  Pittsburg 
district  forced  the  mills  to  shut  down 
and  threw  them  behind  in  their  orders. 
Another  report  is  that  the  Standard  Oil 
Co.  is  buying  immense  quantities  of.  pipe 
and  urging  that  its  orders  be  delivered 
first.  At  any  rate,  a  leading  jobber  re- 
ports that  mills  at  Pittsburg  will  only 
book  his  orders  "open,"  that  is,  they 
will  enter  them  now  and  along  in  June 
or  July  will  notify  as  to  price  and  date 
of  delivery.  That  is  not  a  basis  on  which 
a  jobber  can  himself  give  his  customers 
much  satisfaction. 

But  the  jobbers  still  have  pipe  on  hand 
and  it  can  be  had  if  one  wants  to  pay 
the  price.  To  illustrate  what  has  taken 
place,  one  buyer  of  wrought  iron  pipe 
for  greenhouse  use  says  that  he  bought 
at  the  lowest  at  seventy-eight  per  cent  off 
the  list;  the  next  purchase  was  at  seventy 
off,  the  next  sixty-six,  and  now  sixty  off 
is  quoted.  That  may  not  sound  so  bad, 
but  when  you  reduce  it  to  dollars  and 
cents  it  is  different.  The  list  price  on 
the  sizes  mentioned  is  as  follows: 

1  -inch  pipe 16%  cents  per  foot 

lV4-lnch  pipe 27       cents  per  foot 

2  -inch  pipe 36       cents  per  foot 

2%-lnch  pipe 57%  cents  per  foot 

3  -inch  pipe 75%  cents  per  foot 

Now,  at  seventy-eight  per  cent  off  the 
list,  l-inch  pipe  costs  net  3.63  cents  per 
foot;  at  seventy  off  it  ,costs  net  4.75 
cents  per  foot;  at  sixty-six  off  it  costs 
net  5.61  cents  per  foot,  and  at  sixty  off 
it  costs  net  6.6  cents  per  foot.  Other 
sizes  are  in  proportion.  So  really  the 
advance  has  been,  in  the  period  covered 
by  these  quotations,  about  eighty  per 
cent.  There  is  nothing  else  which  enters 
into  greenhouse  construction  which  has 
advanced  so  greatly.

CHICAGO. 


The  Great  Central  Market. 

The  market  still  is  active,  but  not 
nearly  so  strong  as  in  the  fortnight  pre- 
ceding the  last  week.  For  some  reason 
difficult  to  explain,  the  local  retailers  are 
doing  no  great  amount  of  business  out- 
side of  funeral  work,  although  this 
keeps  them  fairly  busy.  The  out  of 
town  demand  is  brisk,  but  it  has  shown 
some  falling  off  as  crops  have  increased. 
This  is  a  general  condition  always  to  be 
reckoned  with.  "When  crops  increase  in 
Chicago  they  also  increase  with  all  the 
growers  in  the  Mississippi  valley,  and 
these  growers  stop  buying.  Then  when 
crops  go  off,  they  go  off  not  only  in 
Chicago,  but  through  a  considerable 
range  of  territory,  and  many  who  have 
been  wholesaling  are  forced  to  buy  for 
their  retail  needs.  This  in  a  large  meas- 
ure accounts  for  the  wide  fluctuations  in 
the  Chicago  market. 

"Within  the  week  there  has  been  some 
little  increase  in  production  and  some 
little  decline  in  out  of  town  demand. 
The  rose  market  continues  about  as  it 
has  been.  Beauties  are  a  little  less 
abundant,  but  still  enough  to  meet  the 
demand.  There  continue  to  be  large 
supplies  of  fancy  roses  of  all  other  va- 
rieties, and  an  especially  strong  demand 
for  shorts.  Eichmond  is  in  especially 
good  supply  and  there  are  some  splendid 
Chatenay.  Because  of  the  amount  of 
funeral  work  the  shorts  are  cleaned  up 
first  and  bring  relatively  better  prices 
than  the  higher  grade.  This  is  a  condi- 
tion   almost    without    precedent    in    this 


market.     "Usually  it   is  the   fancy   stock 
which   sells   quickest. 

Carnations  are  increasing  in  supply. 
It  is  noted  that  the  city  buyers  are 
using  few  carnations  but  that  the  call 
from  outside  is  strong.  "While  the  avail- 
able quantities  are  greater,  prices  are 
holding  firm.  The  weather  has  suited 
carnations  well  and  the  quality  is  ahead 
of  the  usual  standard  for  this  season  of 
the  year. 

There  is  a  big  business  being  done  in 
sweet  peas.  Blanche  Ferry  is  the  most 
common  variety.  No  great  quantity  of 
white  is  received,  but  there  are  only  a 
few  of  the  special  fancy  colors.  The 
better  the  quality  the  quicker  the  peas 
sell,  prices  ranging  from  50  cents  to  $2 
per  hundred.  There  is  a  strong  demand 
for  valley. 

"With  the  continued  cool  weather,  vio- 
lets are  holding  on  later  than  ever. 
Bulbous  stock  is  about  gone.  The  few 
remaining  jonquils  and  daffodils  sell 
well.  The  outdoor  stock  does  not  cut  so 
large  a  figure  as  usual,  but  it  may  come 
later.  Callas  and  Easter  lilies  sell  well 
but  are  equal  to  requirements.  Pansies 
are  popular. 

There  is  a  good  sale  for  all  greens. 
This  market  always  can  supply  anything 
needed  in  greens  if  the  order  is  placed 
before  the  morning  rush  has  cleaned  up 
the  day's  receipts.  Ferns  are  moving 
well  at  all  sorts  of  prices.  There  are 
now  four  varieties  of  hardy  ferns  in  the 
market;  cold  storage  stock,  spring  pick 
from  Massachusetts,  spring  pick  from 
Michigan  and  southern  stock.  The  cold 
storage  stock,  where  good,  is  command- 
ing much  the  highest  price. 


Carnations  Frosted. 

Some  of  the  growers  began  planting 
carnations  in  the  field  before  the  usual 
date,  regardless  of  the  backwardness  of 
the  season.  This  is  what  Joseph  P. 
Brooks,  Morton  Grove,  has  to  say  about 
it: 

' '  I  have  some  of  the  highest  sand  and 
gravel  land  in  the  neighborhood,  where 
I  grow  my  carnations  for  benching,  and 
as  my  land  can  be  worked  and  put  in 
shape  early  I  always  start  early.  Later 
the  land  becomes  too  dry  and  the  plants 
do  not  take  hold  as  well.  Last  year  I 
started  planting  April  20,  beginning 
with  Lawson.  They  were  hit  by  a  hard 
frost  about  a  week  later.  I  remember 
they  looked  much  injured,  but  they 
turned  out  all  right.  This  time  we  had 
the  temperature  down  to  26  degrees  and 
cannot  yet  tell  what  harm  has  been 
done.  Some  of  the  plants  look  sleepy, 
but  others  seem  all  right  and  fresh  and 
my  idea  is  that  it  will  not  have  hurt 
them  much.  Several  of  my  neighbors 
started  planting  with  me,  but  ceased 
when  it  turned  cold,  and  are  now  making 
a  fresh  start,  though  some  are  waiting 
for  a  warm  rain  before  starting.  For 
my  part,  I  don't  mind  the  cold.  I  am 
hard  at  it  every  day  and  by  Monday  had 
out  about  70,000  plants  of  Queen  and 
several  thousands  of  other  varieties." 

The  Peony  Prospects. 

It  is  nearly  six  weeks  since  the  first 
of  the  season's  peonies  reached  Has 
market.  There  was  a  period  of  a  month 
following  the  first  receipts  when  no 
peonies  were  seen.  For  the  last  week  or 
ten  days  there  have  been  a  few  dozens

of  Old  Eed,  but  the  long  continued  cold 
weather  is  holding  back  the  crop.  It  is 
reported  that  last  week 's  drop  in  tem- 
perature did  much  damage  in  the  Mis- 
souri and  southern  Illinois  fields  from 
which  the  first  supplies  come  and  to 
which  this  market  looks  for  Decoration 
day.  The  full  extent  of  the  injury  will 
not  be  known  until  a  few  warm  days 
have  moved  the  stock  along. 

Practically  no  outdoor  flowers  are 
seen  in  the  market.  We  had  a  deluge  of 
them  a  few  days  just  before  Easter. 
That  was  three  or  four  weeks  earlier 
than  normal.  Then  came  the  cold  and 
now  the  season  is  two  or  three  weeks 
later  than  usual.  The  crop  of  peonies 
will  be  an  important  factor  in  the 
market  for  Decoration  day. 

The  Weather  in  April. 

It  was  the  coldest  April  since  1874. 
The  moan  temperature  was  40  degrees, 
where  in  1906  it  was  51  degrees  and  the 
average  for  thirty-seven  years  is  46  de- 
grees. There  was  2.37  inches  rainfall 
and  two  inches  of  snow.  There  were 
seven  clear  days,  eight  partly  cloudy  and 
fifteen  cloudy.  The  wind  averaged  sev- 
enteen miles  an  hour.  There  was  killing 
frost  as  late  as  April  26. 

May  started  off  with  snow  May  3, 
from  half  an  inch  to  an  inch  and  a  half 
deep. 

Funeral  Work. 

As  explaining  the  heavy  run  of  fu- 
neral work  it  may  be  stated  that  Chi- 
cago 's  death  rate  for  the  first  four 
months  of  1907  was  greater  than  in  any 
corresponding  period  since  1899,  accord- 
ing to  the  bulletin  of  the  health  depart- 


ment. Abnormal  weather  conditions  are 
held  greatly  responsible.  Pneumonia 
leads  as  a  death  cause,  with  2,405  vic- 
tims since  January  1.  This  is  an  excess 
over  the  corresponding  months  of  1906 
of  549.  There  were  222  more  deaths  due 
to  scarlet  fever,  191  more  due  to  heart 
disease,  and  153  more  due  to  consump- 
tion. 

The  mortality  of  the  last  week  ex- 
ceeds that  of  any  seven  days  since  the 
week  ending  February  28.  There  were 
764  deaths,  an  annual  death  rate  of 
18.90  per  1,000,  and  an  increase  of 
eighty-six  over  the  week  before. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Sehillo  Lumber  Co.  reports  much 
trouble  in  getting  cars  to  bring  pecky 
rypress  from  the  south.  They  have  sold 
large  quantities  of  this  bench  material 
and  would  like  to  get  hold  of  a  big  lot 
that  is  being  air-dried  in  the  south,  but 
it  is  coming  along  in  driblets  because 
of  the  car  shortage. 

Before  the  death  of  Mrs.  Louise  Schil- 
ler, plans  had  been  nearly  completed  for 
the  building  of  a  new  store  and  green- 
house almost  directly  across  the  street 
from  the  present  establishment  at  897 
West  Madison  street,  but  on  account  of 
Mrs.  Schiller's  death  the  work  of  erec- 
tion has  been  deferred  till  next  year. 

The  city  plans  to  build  a  sewer  in 
Robey  street,  but  a  number  of  the  prop- 
erty owners  protest,  claiming  that  it  is 
not  necessary.  Wietor  Bros,  are  one  of 
these.  It  makes  quite  a  difference  to 
them,  as  they  have  500  feet  of  frontage 
on  which  the  special  assessment  would 
be  spread. 

Ed.  Kissingen,   at   Fullertoji  and   Mil- 


waukee avenues,  is  buijding  a  conserva- 
tory. 

Bassett  &  Washburn  report  that  they 
have  a  large  number  of  lilies  which  they 
are  growing  cool  for  Memorial  day. 

All  the  large  growers  of  young  stock 
of  carnations,  chrysanthemum?  and  roses 
report  excellent  business  the  last  few 
^^•eeks.  The  carnation  cuttings  are  pretty 
well  sold  out  and  chrysanthemums  now 
in  the  height  of  the  sea.son. 

The  A.  Dietsch  Co.  reports  that  the 
season 's  business  shows  one  important 
change  as  compared  with  other  years. 
Ordinarily  February  and  March  are  the 
largest  months  in  the  matter  of  booking 
orders,  but  this  season  April  exceeded 
the  two  preceding  months.  It  always  is 
characteristic  that  the  larger  orders  are 
booked  early,  so  that  the  April  increase 
indicates  additions  by  a  large  number  of 
growers. 

There  has  been  much  litigation  with 
regard  to  the  drainage  canal,  which  is 
being  built  on  the  north  side.  This  was 
originally  planned  to  cut  diagonally 
through  Peter  Reinberg's  "farm."  The 
direction  has  now  been  changed  so  that 
it  skirts  the  property  and  adds  to  its 
value  instead  of  detracting  from  it.  A 
switch  has  been  put  in  and  a  new  range 
of  six  houses,  each  300  feet  long,  is 
being  erected. 

Louis  Wittbold  has  completed  a  mold, 
by  means  of  which  he  will  erect  cement 
benches  all  in  one  piece.  It  looks  so 
good  a  thing  to  him  that  he  contemplates 
taking  out  a  patent  and  putting  the 
mold  on  the  ma.rket. 

Ed.  Blameuser,  at  Niles  Center,  is  re- 
modeling his  residence  and  adding  two 
greenhouses,   18x125,   to  his  plant.     His

The  Florists'  Club  holds  its  monthly

meetings  now  open  promptly  at  8  p.  m. 
and  there  is  something  of  special  in-

Sol.  Garland,  at  Des  Plaines,  has  been 
sending  Percy  Jones  a  remarkably  steady 
cut  of  carnations  all  through  the  season. 
Asked  as  to  how  he  manages  to  main- 
tain his  cut  so  evenly,  he  said  he  thinks 
it  is  due  to  his  method  of  disbudding  in 
the  field.  Instead  of  disbudding  all  the 
stock  at  one  time,  he  disbudded  part 
e\-ery  day.  The  result  was  that  the 
plants  had  growths  in  all  stages  of  de- 
velopment. 

J.  W.  Breaky  has  a  new  store  at  3915

part  of  the  wholesale  cut  flower  market 
with  its  daily  luncheon.  Men  are  not  ad- 
mitted to  the  lunch  club,  but  as  they 
also  must  eat,  the  lunch  club  sends  a 
box  of  food  to  them  upon  request.

Miss  Stella  Tonner  is  to  be  married 
Saturday  evening.  May  11,  and  go  to 
Russell,  Kan.,  to  reside.  She  is  a 
younger  sister  of  Walter  Tonner  and  the 
Misses  Tonner,  of  Randall's  and  the 
Flower  Market.  It  is  reported  her  home 
will  be  on  a  2,000-acre  farm,  owned  by 
the  groom. 

Emil  Buettner  is  no  longer  forcing 
valley  for  the  wholesale  market. 

Ranson  Kennicott  went  to  Carbon- 
dale  Monday  to  superintend  the  ship- 
ment of  the  spring  crop  of  peonies  and 
other  outdoor  flowers.  He  will  return 
in  season  to  handle  the  Kennicott  local 
crop  of  these  flowers. 

E.  E.  Pieser,  of  the  Kennicott  Bros. 
Co.,  was  at  home  ill  Sunday  and  Mon- 


day. There  are  none  more  assiduous  in 
their  devotion  to  business  than  he,  and 
it  is  a  matter  for  special  note  when  the 
visitor  fails  to  find  him  on  deck. 

A.  L.  Randall  and  Mrs.  Randall  are

The  players  are  young  men  from  both

they  have  a  fast  team.  The  first  game 
of  the  season  was  played  at  Washington

range for  a  game  there  each  Sunday  aft- 
ernoon at  3  o'clock.

considerable  trouble  through  carnations

fault  lies  with  the  express  company,  and 
not  at  all  with  the  shippers,  and  he 
thinks  he  has  made  enough  noise  around 
the  general  oflSces  in  Chicago  so  that  cut 
flower  boxes  will  get  at  least  a  little  of 
the  great  amount  of  special  attention

7  to  look  into  the  matter  of  the  hoped-

NEW  YORK, 


The  Market. 


The  week  opened  with  just  the  weather 
needed  in  Oklahoma  and  Kansas ;  a  warm 
rain  and  a  thorough  one  precedes  the 
certain  coming  of  the  summer  tempera- 
ture." Before  the  week  is  over  we  will 
forget  there  was  a  six  months'  winter 
and  that  freezing  cold  extended  into 
May.  No  such  season  recurs  to  the 
memories  of  the  oldest  florist  in  New 
York.  Still,  there  is  much  to  be  thank- 
ful for.  Business  is  almost  universally 
encouraging  and  the  outlook  is  brighter 
every  year,  as  population  grows. 

There  has  been  but  little  change  in 
wholesale  prices  of  cut  flowers  since  a 
week  ago.    The  best  Beauties  grew  scarce 


and  some  of  them  touched  25  cents 
again.  With  a  few  days  of  sunshine  there 
will  be  the  usual  retrogression  peculiar 
to  the  season.  Of  all  other  roses  there  is 
an  abundance  and  prices  hold  at  last 
week's  quoted  figures. 

Carnations  have  been  the  most  inde- 
pendent of  the  cut  flowers;  prices  have 
been  well  maintained.  Quality  cannot 
be  excelled. 

The  market  was  depleted  of  orchids 
early  because  of  the  large  number  re- 
quired for  the  funeral  decoration  at  the 
burial  of  "Silent"  Smith.  McManus 
had  one  order  for  over  1,200  Cattleya 
Mossiae.  It  speaks  well  for  his  resources 
when  such  a  call  can  be  met  promptly. 
The  Eosary  and  Leikens  received  the 
bulk  of  the  family  orders.  The  designs 
were  unique  and  elaborate,  the  best  being 


a  standing  wreath  and  cross  of  orchids. 

Gardenias  have  fallen  to  the  lowest 
quotations  of  the  year.  Of  lilies  there 
are  enough  and  to  spare. 

Spring  flowers  are  coming  fast,  and 
apple  and  cherry  blossoms  enliven  the  re- 
tail windows.  Fenrich  had  a  large  ship- 
ment of  southern  lilac  Monday.  The 
first  southern  peonies,  the  early  red 
variety,  were  received  by  J.  K.  Allen 
Monday.  From  now  on  there  will  be  no 
lack  of  anything  seasonable  and  the 
spring  weddings  will  have  novelty  and 
abundance  to  draw  upon. 

Club  Meeting. 

Circumstances  necessitate  a  change  in 
the  place  of  meeting,  and  therefore  the 
monthly  session  of  the  Florists'  Club  will 
be  held  at  the  Hotel  Earlington,  50  West

GARDENIA  GRANDIFLORA  l^i^,^^ 

We  expect  to  begin  cutting  about  May  10,  and  shall  have 
between  200,000  and  300,000  flowers  to  dispose  of.  Our  bushes 
are  in  fine,  healthy  condition  and  we  believe  we  shall  hava  the 
best  stock  ever  put  on  the  market.  We  oversee  our  own  packing 
and  cull  out  poor,  bad  foliaged  buds.  The  illustration  in  this 
advertisement  is  1-16  the  real  size  of  the  buds.  The  flowers  are 
waxy  white,  with  a  dehghtful  fragrance,  which  is  retained  after 
shipping.  The  foliage  is  a  dark,  glossy  green.  They  carry  well 
to  all  parts  of  United  States.

Twenty-seventh  street,  next  Monday 
evening,  May  13.  An  especially  good 
meeting  is  anticipated.  S.  S.  Skidelsky 
will  deliver  an  address  in  behalf  of  the 
national  flower  show  and  the  Bickards 
brothers  will  sing,  while  the  expert  ca- 
terer will  "cate"  as  usual.    Be  there. 

Various  Notes. 

John  Ringier,  brother  of  Arnold 
Ringier,  of  Chicago,  has  returned  to  his 
native  land  in  quest  of  renewed  health 
and  will  spend  the  summer  in  Switzer- 
land. 

Sigmund  Geller  leaves  early  in  June 
for  his  annual  business  tour  in  Europe. 

A.  J.  Guttman  returns  Wednesday 
from  Cuba  and  will  give  his  observations 
on  tropical  fruits  and  flowers  at  the  club 
meeting. 

There  have  been  lively  doings  on 
Twenty-eighth  street.  Mr.  Sheridan's 
plate-glass  window  was  mysteriously 
broken.  Mr.  Nugent  swept  the  entrance 
clean  of  an  obstreperous  colored  demon- 
stration which  obscured  the  vision  and 
later  in  self-defense  a  native  American 
won  a  Marathon  by  overcoming  a  repre- 
sentative of  the  race  that  defended  the 
pass  with  Leonidas  at  Thermopylae.  After 
the  storm  all  has  been  placid  and  peace- 
ful, but  Twenty-eighth  is  a  lively  street 
now  that  the  wholesalers  are  gathering 
there  so  fast.  Gunther  Bros,  are  already 
settled  and  will  soon  have  their  new  store 
in  up-to-date  condition  at  No.  114,  while 
across  the  way  Kervan  has  rented  the 
whole  building  and  is  moving  in  this 
week. 

Hiram  T.  Jones  has  completed  the  out- 
side planting  at  the  Hotel  Knicker- 
bocker. 

The  New  York  dailies  on  Monday  were 
profuse  in  reports  of  the  overthrow  of 
the  U.  S.  Express  Co.  in  its  long  fight 
against  the  flower  growers  of  New  York 
and  vicinity.  It  is  said  that  to  F.  L. 
Moore,  of  Chatham,  N.  J.,  special  credit 
is  due  for  the  splendid  testimony  he 
gave  before  the  commission.     It  was  his

experimental  shipping  of  the  boxes  that 
clearly  revealed  the  injustice  of  the  ex- 
press company's  charges. 

On  the  occasion  of  his  leaving  Great 
Neck,  April  27,  to  fill  a  position  on  the 
Hudson,  James  Bell,  superintendent  for 
C.  Mayre,  was  entertained  at  supper  at 
F.  Kane's  hotel.  John  Ingram  occupied 
the  chair  and,  after  supper,  presented 
Mr.  Bell,  in  the  name  of  his  many 
friends,  with  a  handsome  400-day  time- 
piece. Mr.  Bell  feelingly  replied.  Alex. 
Lothian  gave  a  fine  address ;  also  Messrs. 
Matthews,  Walker  and  Hoye.  A  pleas- 
ant evening  was  spent  with  song  and 
story.  Mr.  Lothian,  as  toastmaster,  pro- 
posed the  health  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bell 
and  family.  The  chairman  moved  a  vote 
of  thanks  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  F.  Kane  for 
the  splendid  supper.  The  company  broke 
up  by  singing  "Auld  Lang  Syne." 

John  Reese,  lately  with  Bonnet  & 
Blake,  has  bought  the  retail  store  at  301 
Flatbush  avenue,  formerly  owned  by 
Miss  Koch,  of  Flatbush.  Mr.  Reese  has 
had  experience  in  all  departments  of  the 
business  and  should  succeed.  Miss  Koch 
will  soon  accept  congratulations  from 
her  many  friends  on  the  occasion  of  her 
marriage  to  Julius  Eoehrs,  Jr.,  of 
Rutherford,  N.  J. 

Last  week  I  stated  there  had  been 
some  closings  of  retail  stores  lately  that 
were  no  credit  to  the  trade.  The  whole- 
salers tell  me  this  was  putting  the  mat- 
ter very  mildly.  In  one  case  especially 
it  is  said   to   be  much   easier    to    name 


those  who  escaped  than  the  multitude 
who  were  bitten.  There  are  too  many 
barn  doors  locked  after  the  horse  has 
got  away. 

Reed  &  Keller  have  received  notice  of 
the  granting  of  a  patent  for  their 
famous  cycas-leaf  holder.  Their  latest 
inventions  are  bamboo  canopies,  glass 
hangers  and  screens.  The  latter,  a  three- 
winged  aflfair,  cannot  fail  to  become 
popular,  as  it  reduces  cost  to  a  minimum. 
The  firm  has  an  exhibit  this  week  at  the 
Quincy  house  in  Boston. 

The  firm  of  Wm.  H.  Brewer's  Sons, 
428  Fifth  avenue,  was  dissolved  April 
30  by  mutual  consent.  John  L,  Brewer 
will  conduct  the  business  at  the  old 
stand.  Lorenzo  Brower  will  have  an  office 
in  the  Coogan  building  and  devote  his 
attention  to  special  and  family  work,  a 
new  departure,  which  by  persistence  and 
close  attention  to  his  patrons'  interests 
cannot  fail  to  win. 

John  Myers  came  to  this  country 
forty-one  years  ago.  He  rented  a  block 
of  land  from  the  Astor  estate,  at  Nine- 
tieth street  and  Broadway,  for  $500  a 
year,  and  has  been  doing  business  there 
all  these  years,  while  on  every  side  of 
him  the  city  grew  and  buildings  rose. 
Fifty-ninth  street  was  the  end  of  New 
York  in  those  days.  For  forty  years 
Mr.  Myers  has  been  subject  to  a  thirty- 
day  notice  of  removal  from  his  acre  and 
a  half  and  million-dollar  block.  At  last 
it  has  arrived.  The  greenhouses  are 
down,   the   building   of   great   structures

has  begun  and  one  of  the  oldest  land- 
marks of  New  York  flower  growing  has 
passed  away.  Mr.  Myers  is  65  years 
old  and  has  fairly  earned  his  competence 
and  rest. 

Perkins  &  Schumann  have  risen.  They 
now  occupy  a  store  five  or  six  times 
larger  than  their  last  and  on  the  first 
floor  of  the  Coogan  building,  a  most  con- 
venient place  in  every  way  and  just 
what  they  needed  for  their  growing 
trade. 

The  Cut  Flower  Exchange,  at  its  an- 
nual meeting  Saturday,  reelected  John 
Snyder  president  and  Alexander  Burns, 
Edward  Matthews,  Philip  Einsman  and 
George  Golsner  directors.  The  opening 
liour  was  restored  to  6  a.  m.  instead  of 
5  a.  m.,  as  has  been  the  rule  since 
Christmas. 

E.  Bonnot,  of  Jersey  City,  is  now  visit- 
ing his  old  home,  Paris,  France,  and  in 
his  letters  to  his  brother  in  the  Coogan 
building,  asserts  that  in  elaborate  and 
beautiful  fitting  up  the  Parisians'  retail 
stores  are  in  advance  of  our  own. 

A.  M.  Henshaw  was  confined  to  his 
home  last  week  with  a  severe  case  of  the 

grip. 

Traendly  &  Schenck  are  building  a 
large  addition  to  their  store,  evidently  in 
anticipation  of  increased  shipments  this 
season. 

Ford  Bros,  call  attention  to  the  way 
the  quality  and  crop  is  holding  out  this 
><oapon  with   their  carnation   growers.

The  Market. 

The  weather  for  May  has  so  far  proved 
unusually  cold.  As  a  consequence  there 
is  no  such  glut  in  the  market  as  some- 
times occurs  at  this  season.  Taken  all 
in  all,  business  remains  fairly  good. 
Thanks  in  principal  part  to  the  cool 
weather,  roses  and  carnations  both  con- 
tinue of  extra  good  quality,  with  prices 
much  the  same  as  a  week  ago.  Light 
pink  carnations,  like  Enchantress,  are 
holding  their  color  finely  this  season.  A 
few  straggling  double  violets  are  still 
seen,  but  the  present  week  will  finish 
them.  Sweet  peas  sell  fairly  well  and 
quite  a  variety  of  shades  is  procurable. 
Easter  lilies  and  callas  are  both  abun- 
dant. 

There  is  rather  less  bulbous  stock,  in 
the  way  of  tulips  and  narcissi.  That 
coming  from  the  open  is  backward, 
owing  to  the  cold  weather.  Spanish  iris 
is  abundant,  of  fine  quality  and  sells 
moderately  well.  Marguerites  remain 
good  sellers.  Some  good  stocks  are  seen, 
and  quite  a  variety  of  miscellaneous 
flowers. 

Exhibition. 

There  was  a  smaller  show  than  usual 
May  4,  at  Horticultural  hall.  The  morn- 
ing was  bitter  cold,  with  a  driving  rain, 
and  some  exhibits  of  azaleas  and  cal- 
ceolarias were  not  forthcoming.  Never- 
theless, there  was  an  interesting  exhibi- 
tion. 

Martin  Sullivan,  gardener  to  W.  Whit- 
man, won  first  prize  for  six  zonal  pelar- 


goniums. He  also  showed  some  good 
plants  of  show  and  fancy  varieties.  For 
tvrelve  large  pans  of  Darwin  tulips,  dis- 
tinct, Mr.  Sullivan  also  won,  with  a 
beautiful  collection,  finely  grown.  He 
was  also  first  for  twelve  pans,  twelve 
inches  in  diameter,  of  other  varieties  of 
late  tulips. 

There  were  numerous  displays  of  nar- 
cissi. For  fifty  vases,  not  less  than  ten 
varieties,  W.  N.  Craig  was  first,  W. 
Whitman  second,  and  W.  J.  Clemson, 
J.  O.  Kristensen  gardener,  third.  All  the 
more  popular  narcissi  were  shown,  as 
well  as  many  of  the  new  and  rarer  vari- 
eties. 

For  forty-eight  tulips,  W.  Whitman 
was  first  and  W.  J.  Clemson  second. 
Mrs.  A.  W.  Blake,  John  L.  Smith  gar- 
dener, led  for  forty-eight  pansies,  dis- 
tinct, with  a  splendid  lot;  Mrs.  E.  M. 
Ciill,  second. 

There  were  a  good  number  of  miscel- 
laneous non-competitive  exhibits.  J.  T. 
Butterworth  received  a  silver  medal  for 
a  beautifully  flowered  Cattleya  Mossiaj 
in  an  8-inch  pot  carrying  fifty-nine  flow- 
ers. The  same  plant  carried  forty-four 
flowers  in  1906.  W.  Whitman  had  well 
flowered  plants  of  Cattleya  Skinneri  and 
C.  Mossiae.  Mrs.  A.  W.  Blake  showed 
Himalayan  Rhododendron  formosum, 
some  fine  auriculas  and  a  collection  of 
narcissi.  Mrs.  Frederick  Ayer,  Geo.  Page 
gardener,  had  a  magnificent  lot  of  Mar- 
ochal  Niel  rose,  several  large  shoots 
smothered  with  bloom,  and  awarded  a 
cultural  certificate.  The  same  exhibitor 
received  honorable  mention  for  well  flow- 
ered plants  of  Acacia  pulchella.  Mrs. 
Page   also   had    a   collection   of   Spanish

day  trade.

the  Massachusetts  Horticultural  Society 
will  be  held  June  8,  in  lieu  of  June  1, 
as  previously  arranged. 

Various  Notes. 

William  Nicholson  finds  that  margue- 
rites have  sold  better  this  year  than  ever 
before.  His  sales  average  10,000  per 
week,  and  many  more  could  be  dis- 
posed of. 

William  H.  Elliott  will  plant  his  large 
new  house,  at  Madbury,  N.  H.,  with 
Eichmond  and  Killarney,  in  the  culture 
of  which  varieties  he  is  in  the  front 
rank. 

James  Farquhar  has  a  fine  batch  of 
seedling  liliums  which  he  is  watching 
with  much  interest.  They  are  crosses 
between  L.  Philippinense,  L.  longiflorum, 
L.  Krameri,  etc.,  and  Mr.  Farquhar 
hopes  to  bloom  quite  a  number  during 
the  present  year. 

Superintendent  Kirkland  is  preparing, 
for  an  active  campaign  against  the 
gypsy   and   brown-tailed   moths   through- 


out the  state.  Some  of  the  parasites  in- 
troduced here  wintered  well  and  great 
hopes  are  placed  on  the  work  they  will 
do  in  the  future. 

Local  nurseries  report  an  unusually 
busy  season.  The  cool  spring  has  ma- 
terially assisted  them  in  keeping  pace 
with  their  orders. 

Superintendent  Pettigrew  is  particu- 
larly busy  this  season,  doing  a  great  deal 
of  planting  of  shrubbery  in  the  park 
system. 

Tulips  in  the  Boston  Public  Gardens 
are  later  than  usual  and  will  be  at  their 
height  about  May  12.        W.  N.  Craig. 


THE  READERS'  CORNER. 


Floating;  a  Boiler. 

South  Park  Floral  Go.  is  almost  too 
large  a  name  for  this  strenuous  age,  so 
I  am  now  running  the  business  under 
my  own  name.  I  started  here  three  years 
ago  with  two  houses,  each  20x50  feet. 
Last  summer  I  built  a  carnation  house, 
25x127.  We  are  now  building  a  rose 
house,  25x50.  I  do  my  own  erecting  of 
houses.  The  Moninger  Co.  furnished  the 
material  for  the  rose  house.  We  grow  a 
general  line  of  stock. 

I  did  a  caper  that  I  do  not  think  any-

old  thing  ought  to  float.  So  I  closed  all 
openings  and  pumped  fifteen  pounds  air 
jji-essure  into  it,  and  as  it  was  lying 
within  a  hundred  feet  of  the  river  I 
rigged  up  a  set  of  skids  and  rolled  it 
into  the  river.  I  had  two  men  in  a  yawl 
with  me,  and  we  towed  it  down  the  river 
about  four  miles  and  pulled  it  out  on 
my  side,  where  I  could  get  draymen  to 
handle  it.  Our  local  papers  gave  me  a 
nice  bit  of  free  advertising  about  it.

Work  Made  Liehter. 

If  there  is  anything  I  enjoy  it  is  to 
sit  in  my  armchair  after  a  hard  day's 
work  and  muse  over  all  the  interesting 
things  you  publish  in  the  Review  every 
week;  so  instructive,  so  edifying,  so  en- 
couraging; it  makes  work  lighter  for  us. 
We  have  had  a  very  peculiar  spring — so 
very  warm  in  March,  soaring  to  90  de- 
grees in  the  shade  and  making  everybody 
in  a  rush  to  plant  trees  and  shrubs;  but 
so  cold  in  April  that  planting  has  been 
much  delayed.  I  have  had  a  busy  season 
80  far.  Robert  Fulstone. 


TROUBLE  WITH  GERANIUMS. 

Will  you  please  tell  me  what  is  the 
cause  of  my  geraniums  turning  crim- 
son? The  edge  of  the  leaf  will  first 
show  red  and  finally  the  entire  leaf 
turns  a  brilliant  crimson.  Plants  are 
not  growing.  I  at  first  thought  too 
much  bone  meal  was  used  in  the  com- 
post, but  I  now  find  that  some  of  the 
plants  show  the  same  trouble  that  had 
no  fertilizer.  They  are  in  3-inch  pots, 
and  the  pots  placed  on  a  bench  that  has 
two  inches  of  wood  shavings,  getting 
full  sunshine  and  located  in  the  lightest 
and  airiest  part  of  the  house.  What 
can  I  do  to  overcome  it?  E.  H.  O. 


Without  knowing  something  of  the 
local  conditions  and  treatment  it  is  dif- 
ficult to  tell  what  can  have  caused  the 
coloring  of  the  leaves  referred  to.  I 
presume  the  plants  are  not  too  much 
potbound  and  have  been  carefully  wa- 
tered. If  intended  for  late  spring  sales 
there  is  little  time  left  now  to  tone 
them  up.     I  would  scratch  over  the  sur- 


face of  the  soil  and  if  the  pots  are  well 
filled  with  roots  give  a  watering  with 
nitrate  of  soda  once  in  four  or  five 
days.  This  should  make  the  plants 
greener  very  soon.  I  think  it  possible 
that  too  much  bone  may  have  been  used, 
but  the  fact  that  other  plants,  in  the 
compost  for  which  no  bone  was  used, 
are  also  in  the  same  condition,  leads  me 
to  think  that  either  the  plants  have  been 
starved  or  underwatered.  I  think  the 
use  of  nitrate  of  soda  or  some  other 
quick  acting  chemical  fertilizer  will  im- 
prove them.  C.  W.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising  Eastern  Market. 

The  first  week  in  May  brings  rather 
unusual  conditions.  Owing  to  the  cool, 
(lark  weather  which  has  prevailed  for  a 
fortnight  or  more,  flowers  where  they 
have  been  cared  for  are  in  excellent  con- 
dition; unusually  good  value  for  the 
prices  prevailing.  There  is,  of  course, 
considerable  rubbish  of  little  or  no  value. 
Business  has  fallen  off,  the  demand  being 
weak  and  irregular,  especially  on  white 
flowers.  Colored  stock  is  much  better 
value.  Carnations  have  again  become 
rather  scarce,  prices  holding  well  for  the 
season,  excepting  on  whites.  Sw«et  peas 
have  fallen,  the  best  being  one-third 
lower  than  ten  days  ago.  Violets  can 
still  be  had,  owing  to  the  cool  weather. 

Cornflowers  have  made  their  appear- 
ance in  fair  quantity.  Candytuft  is  an 
addition  to  the  list.  Valley  is  in  fair 
demand;  the  outdoor  stock  has  not  as 
yet  made  any  impression.  Cattleya 
Mossiae  is  of  excellent  quality  and  plenti- 
ful; other  orchids  are  over.  Beauties  are 
fine,  plentiful,  and  good  value.  Tea  roses 
are  selling  well  for  the  better  grades, 
poorly  for  the  ordinary.  Liberty  and 
Richmond  are  not  in  especial  demand. 
Ilarrisii  lilies  are  scarcer,  the  best  bring- 
ing higher  prices.  Daisies  are  fine  and 
plentiful.  Dagger  ferns  are  extremely 
scarce.

It  always  is  a  pleasure  to  go  over  the 
houses  of  the  Joseph  Heacock  Co.,  near 
Jenkintown  station,  P.  &  E.  No  matter 
what  season  of  the  year  you  may  happen 
to  visit  them,  order  and  cleanliness 
always  prevail.  The  palm  range  is  de- 
voted largely  to  kentias,  as  of  yore,  two- 
thirds  Belmoreana  and  one-third  Forster- 
iana.  The  stock  is  in  vigorous  condition, 
showing  only  the  ravages  of  the  buyer,  a 
parasite  who  threatens  to  destroy  certain 
sizes  before  August  if  unchecked.  There 
are,  however,  thousands  more  in  the  next 
lower  sizes  coming  rapidly  forward.  The 
features  of  the  larger  kentias  are  the 
introduction  of  the  9-inch  and  of  the 
12-inch  tubs,  which  have  now  supplanted 
pots  of  those  sizes.  These  tubs,  noted 
before  in  these  columns,  are  very  desira-

ble  for  the  decorator,  as  they  cannot  be 
broken,  and  are  easily  handled.  From  a 
grower's  standpoint  the  moisture  of  the 
wood  is  more  beneficial  to  root  action 
than  the  pots,  which  so  readily  dry  out. 

A  change  is  noted  in  the  system  of 
making  up  plants.  In  Forsteriana,  espe- 
cially, 12-inch  tubs  are  now  made  up 
from  the  specimen  8-inch  plants,  sur- 
rounded by  smaller  5-inch  plants.  This 
is  preferred  to  the  old  method  of  mak- 
ing them  up  in  6-inch  from  a  4-inch 
plant  and  some  smaller  plants  around  it. 
Belmoreana,  while  more  expensive,  is  oc- 
casionally made  up  for  buyers  who  pre- 
fer this  variety  for  its  grace. 

One  house  of  Areca  lutescens  is  now 
growing  into  condition.  This  variety  had 
been  almost  discarded,  but  was  taken  up 
again  to  meet  the  market  requirements. 
Cocos  WeddelUana  is  grown  in  limited 
quantities  for  fern  dishes. 

Among  the  ferns  were  some  specimens 
of  Nephrolepis  Bostoniensis  Harrisii  in 
12-inch  pans  on  pedestals.  The  plain 
Boston  fern  is  grown  to  some  extent  in 
5-inch  and  6-inch  pots;  also  N.  Whit- 
mani  and  N.  Baxrowsii.  A  few  plants  of 
Cibotium  Schiedei  are  also  grown. 

The  rose  par  excellence  of  the  place  is 
American  Beauty,  house  after  house 
being  filled  with  this  variety,  tall  and 
leafy  as  a  forest,  with  thousands  of  their 
little   ones   in   2^x3-inch   pots   near   by. 


Liberty,    Bichmond    and     Killarney     are 
also  grown,  the  first  largely. 

Two  additions,  made  recently,  add 
dignity  to  the  establishment,  the  first  a 
handsome  office  with  open  brick  fire- 
place, an  air  of  substantial  comfort  per- 
vading; under  it  a  well-built  cement 
vault  containing  an  ice-box  for  holding 
the  roses.  Some  fine  carnations  on  a 
shelf  in  the  vault  gave  evidence  of  well- 
grown  stock  in  those  houses. 

Various  Notes. 

Charles  Balderston,  of  Colora,  Md., 
well  known  as  a  grower  of  Jacq  roses, 
died  April  28,  1907,  after  a  severe  attack 
of  grip.  Mr.  Balderston,  who  was  61 
years  of  age,  has  been  a  shipper  to  this 
city  for  many  years. 

Miss  Mooney,  of  Mooney  &  Weir, 
"The  Little  Flower  Shop,"  Wilkes 
Barre,  Pa.,  was  a  visitor  in  this  city  on 
Monday. 

The  Florex  Gardens  have  their  mam- 
moth greenhouse  at  North  Wales,  Pa., 
well  under  way.  The  smaller  house  is 
far  advanced.  Eugene  Bernheimer  and 
George  Samtman  are  busily  engaged 
there,  keeping  the  wheels  moving. 

William  Gloeckner,  of  Albany,  N.  Y., 
was  in  this  city  last  week. 

H.  Bayersdorfer  &  Co.  are  handling 
some  chiffon  mats,  or  window  rugs,  as 
Mr.     Berkowitz     aptly     describes    them.

Frank  Gaul,  manager  of  the  Century

to  be  out.  He  has  received  visits  from

The  Leo  Niessen  Co.  is  having  a  good 
demand  for  Cattleya  Mossise. 

The  funeral  of  H.  B.  Curran,  of  the 
firm  of  Castner,  Curran  &  Bullitt,  on 
Monday  created  an  active  demand  for 
choice  flowers,  branch  offices  of  the

It  is  said  that  M.  Rice  almost  had

The  Market. 


Cut  flower  trade  has  been  only  fair. 
Weather  conditions  were  unfavorable, 
making  it  hard  on  the  growers,  retailers 
and  wholesalers.  A  great  deal  of  funeral 
work  helped  out  greatly  with  the  store 
men.  The  greenhouse  men  feel  gloomy 
over  the  weather,  as  little  planting  out 
could  be  done.  At  the  wholesale  houses 
we  find  the  usual  scarcity  in  carnations, 
with  prices  away  up  on  all  varieties. 
White  had  a  great  demand,  with  4  cents 
about  the  average  price.  Lawson  and 
Enchantress  were  also  in  demand,  only 
few  reds  coming  in. 

In  roses  there  is  a  different  story  to 
tell,  as  there  is  an  actual  glut  of  them 
in  the  market,  and  extra  good  stock  at 
that,  with  plenty  of  extra  fine  long 
Americair  Beauties,  which  went  begging 
all  week.  Bride,  Maid,  Chatenay,  Rich- 
mond and  Perle  are  many  more  than  the 
demand  calls  for,  and  shorts  sold  as  low 
as  $5  per  thousand. 

Callas  and  Harrisii,  too,  are  plentiful 
and  cheap;  also  lily  of  the  valley  has 
gone  down  a  cent  or  two  in  price.  The 
quality  is  fine.  Sweet  peas  are  becoming 
more  plentiful,  with  a  good  demand  for 
pink  and  white.     Fancy  ferns  have  gone

Various  Notes. 

"We  had  \\ith  us  last  week  Joseph 
Marks,  better  known  as  Marks  the 
Lawyer,  traveling  for  the  A.  L.  Randall 
Co.,  Chicago.  Mr.  Marks'  first  trip  to 
this  city  was  a  success. 

The  horse  and  buggy  of  Oscar  Heile, 
the  South  Broadway  florist,  were  stolen 
last  week.  He  recovered  the  outfit  the 
next  day,  with  little  damage. 

William  Adles,  formerly  with  Mrs. 
M.  M.  Ayers,  is  now  in  the  employ  of 
the  Foster  Floral  Co.,  in  the  new  store 
at  909  Olive  street. 

Wm.  Schray  &  Sons  had  the  decora- 
tion for  the  Taussig  golden  wedding. 
This  was  a  large  affair  and  the  decora- 
tions were  elaborate.  Mr.  Taussig  is 
president  of  the  Terminal  Railroad  As- 
sociation. 

C.  A.  Kuehn  is  handling  a  nice  lot 
of  Carnot  roses  from  Belle  Miller, 
Springfield,  which  find  a  good  market. 
Henry  Baer's  Peoria  stock  of  carna- 
tions is  in  big  demand  at  this  place. 

Andrew  Meyer,  Jr.,  was  reappointed 
city  forester  last  week  by  Mayor  Wells. 
This  time  the  term  will  last  four  years. 
William  Jordan  is  his  assistant. 

There  are  quite  a  few  applicants  for 
George  Ostertag's  job  as  superintendent 
of  public  parks.  There  will  probably 
not  be  any  change  at  present. 

George  Angermueller  is  handling  a 
fine  lot  of  American  Beauties  from  Hel- 
ler Bros.,  New  Castle,  Ind.  These  have 
been  quite  plentiful  of  late  and  did  not 
bring  as  much  as  they  were  worth. 

Henry  Berning's  consignments  from 
Jablonsky  and  Dunford,  in  the  country, 
are  large  and  of  extra  good  quality.  A 
fine  lot  of  roses  is  also  seen  here.

SNAILS  OR  SLUGS. 

Please  tell  us  the  best  remedy  for 
snails  or  slugs.  E.  N. 

Prof.  Jarvis,  at  the  last  meeting  of 
the  Canadian  Horticultural  Association, 
spoke  as  follows  on  these: 

'  *  Snails  or  slugs  are  not  insects,  but 
belong  to  the  group  of  animals  known 
as  mollusca,  soft-bodied  creatures  fre- 
quently covered  with  a  shell.  They  at- 
tack many  species  of  greenhouse  plants, 
lettuce,  violets,  etc. 


' '  They  prefer  moist  situations,  hence 
drainage,  where  practicable,  is  a  pre- 
ventive and  a  remedy.  Trapping  with 
cabbage  leaves,  sweetened  bran,  etc.,  is 
the  usual  practice  and  clear,  weak  lime- 
water  sprinkled  over  the  plants  and  on 
the  soil  will  drive  them  out. ' '

Vegetable  Forcing. 


Market  growers  of  vegetables  under 
glass,  many  of  whom  also  grow  crops  in 
the  open,  will  be  interested  in  the  bul- 
letin "Beans,^just  issued  by  the  U.  S. 
Department  o:^ii|j|pulture. 


Truckers  will  be  interested  in  Bul- 
letin No.  282,  entitled  "Celery,"  just 
issued  by  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agri- 
culture, Washington,  D.  C,  which  will 
send  a  copy  free  on  request. 

The  old  saying  that  it  is  an  ill  wind 
that  blows  nobody  good  is  well  illus- 
trated in  the  present  season.  Although 
truckers  everywhere  are  far  behind  and 
heavy  losers,  the  growth  of  greenhouse 
vegetables  is  getting  the  best  prices  ever 
realized  at  this  season.

SPRING  CROP  OF  LETTUCE. 

If  the  last  crop  of  the  season  is  just 
about  completed  and  those  in  the  cold- 
frames  almost  ready  to  cut,  the  condi- 
tions for  a  continuous  supply  will  be  all 
right.  Where  coldframes  are  not  de- 
pended on  so  much,  another  crop  in  the 
greenhouse  will  have  to  be  under  way  to 
keep  up  the  supply  to  meet  the  first  out- 
door crop,  which  will  be  later  than  usual 
this  year. 

Some  of  the  larger  growers  do  not 
trouble  much  with  coldframes,  but  with 
us  the  coldframe  crops  are  the  most  sat- 
isfactory of  the  season.  True,  the  earlier 
crop  for  some  time  after  planting  re- 
quires a  good  deal  of  attention  in  regard 
to  covering  and  protecting  during  cold 
•ipells,  but  once  the  warm  spring  weather 
•its  in  this  trouble  is  reduced  to  a 
Hiinimum  and  the  plants  seem  to  grow 
along  without  any  trouble,  W'e  have 
never  had  a  case  of  disease  in  the 
frames.  This  in  itself  is  a  strong  argu- 
ment in  favor  of  frame  culture. 

Plants  intended  for  subsequent  plant- 
ing in  the  open  ground  should  have  at- 
tention in  regard  to  hardening  off  be- 
fore the  time  of  setting  out  arrives. 
This  time  differs  considerably  with  the 
locality.  We  can  usually  trust  them  out- 
doors before  this  date,  but  this  is  an 
exceptional  season.  But  even  if  the 
temperati"-e  will   sometimes  run   a  little

below  the  freezing  point,  if  not  too 
severe  a  little  frost  will  not  do  much 
harm,  provided  the  plants  are  well 
hardened  off.  If  protection  can  be  given 
during  cold  nights  they  could  be  set  in 
the  open  ground  even  earlier  than  this,

Seed  Trade  News. 


AHEBICAN  8BKD  TBADE  ASSOCIATION. 

Pres.,  Henry  W.  Wood,  Richmond,  Va.;  First 
Vlce-Pree.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo,  O.;  Sec'y  and 
Treas.,  C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland.  The  25th  annual 
meeting  will  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1^07 


Seedsmen  will  appreciate  the  illustra- 
tion on  page  1889  of  this  issue. 

Tuberose  and  other  flowering  bulbs 
that  were  scarce  and  high  some  time  ago 
are  now  offered  freely. 

The  canners  report  a  poor  prospect 
for  a  pea  crop.  A  light  pack  will  in- 
crease the  demand  for  seed  peas  for  next 
season. 

If  collections  turn  out  as  good  as  an- 
ticipated the  jobbers  will  have  little 
fault  to  find  with  the  final  result  of  the 
1907  seed  business. 

All  lines  of  the  seed  trade  are  still 
feeling  the  effects  of  unseasonably  cold 
weather.  Reports  from  all  sections  show 
that  the  depression  is  general. 

J.  E.  Farrinqton  does  business  at  An- 
adarko,  Okla.,  and  Chickasha,  I.  T.,  han- 
dling seeds  and  intending  to  go  more 
heavily  into  this  line  another  season. 

There  is  a  hopeful  feeling  that  the 
weather  will  get  warm  enough  to  plant 
sweet  corn  before  it  is  too  late;  so  far 
the  demand  for  corn  is  far  below  normal. 

It  is  sometimes  surprising  how  much 
vitality  there  is  in  seeds.  Some  of  the 
early  vegetables,  after  lying  six  weeks  in 
the  cold,  wet  ground,  are  germinating 
nicely. 

Seedsmen  will  be  interested  in  Farm- 
ers' Bulletin  No.  282,  entitled  "  Celery, " 
just  issued  by  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture.  The  author  is  W.  E. 
Seattle. 

The  market  gardeners  are  becoming 
pretty  well  discouraged.  The  season  is 
the  most  unfavorable  ever  experienced 
and  the  conditions  are  general.  In  the 
long  run,  the  seed  trade  will  also  be 
loser. 

The  M.  G.  Madson  Seed  Co.,  Mani- 
towoc, Wis.,  in  addition  to  its  retail  and 
catalogue  seed  business,  handles  fruit 
trees,  small  fruits,  roses,  bulbs,  and  al- 
lied lines.  The  season  is  late  this  year, 
but  good. 

In  Germany,  as  in  this  country,  onion 
seed  was  among  the  short  items  this 
season,  except  Giant  Yellow  Zittau,  which 
was  in  abundance  owing  to  the  unusually 
large  plantations  in  1906,  and  the  price 
of  this  sort  went  down  lower  than  ever. 

Edward  Rigg,  Jr.,  Burlington,  N.  J., 
is  advertising  in  the  May  issues  of  farm 
papers  as  follows:  "Onion  seed — Prize- 
taker,  $1  per  lb. ;  Southport  Yellow 
Globe,  $1.50  per  lb.;  Southport  White 
Globe,  $2  per  lb.  Subject  to  being  un- 
sold." 

The  suburban  amateur  gardener  has 
a  grudge  against  the  weather  man.  The 
gardens  and  lawns  that  looked  so  well  at 
this  time  last  year  are  barren,  undug  and 
generally  going  to  the  bad.  There  is  no 
question  about  a  lack  of  enthusiasm 
among  this  class  of  seed  buyers,  and  the 
dollars  they  intended  to  spend  for  garden 
supplies  will  be  used  for  the  summer 
vacations.

which  beans  are  grown,  which  will  be  an

eral,  the  season  has  not  been  satisfac- 
tory from  the  country  dealer's  stand- 
point and  he  is  averse  to  placing  an 
order  for  future  supplies  until  the  pres- 
ent surplus  is  disposed  of. 

The  bulb  business  is  not  as  good  as 
it  should  be  according  to  reports.  Some 
of  the  jobbers  fear  that  a  drop  in  prices 
will  be  necessary  to  close  out  properly. 

G.  F.  Kleih,  Dubuque,  la.,  advertises 
as  follows  in  the  local  papers:  "Every 
true  lover  of  sauerkraut  should  buy  cab- 
bage seed  from  me;  the  kinds  suitable 
for  this  country." 

A  CAREFUL  inspection  of  the  onion 
fields  that  were  sown  early  for  sets  in 
the  Chicago  district  shows  the  seed  to  be 
sprouting  fairly  well  and  an  average 
stand  in  most  cases  is  expected.  At 
Louisville  the  fields  for  onion  sets  show 
a  good  stand;   the  growers  are  starting 


to   run  the  cultivators.     A   full  acreage 
has  been  planted. 


AS  CLAHKS  SEE  CONDITIONS. 

Under  date  of  May  3  Arthur  B.  Clark, 
of  the  Everett  B.  Clark  Co.,  Milford, 
Conn.,  reports  as  follows  on  conditions  in 
the  territory  in  which  the  firm  operates: 

"Here  in  Connecticut  the  season  is 
something  like  two  to  three  weeks  back- 
ward. There  have  been  so  many  back- 
ward seasons  of  late  years,  however,  that 
possibly  we  should  change  our  basis  of 
reckoning.  But,  even  so,  this  will  have 
to  be  classed  as  a  cold,  backward  spring. 
We  had  our  April  in  March  and  out 
March  in  April.  Judging  from  the  tem- 
perature today,  we  may  look  for  another 
February  in  May.  So  far  farmers  have 
had  to  work  in  their  overcoats  and  at 
the  risk  of  pneumonia  at  that. 

"The  onion  seed  acreage  hereabouts 
is  an  average  one  and  it  was  only  yes- 
terday that  the  last  onions  were  set. 
Onion  bulbs  wintered  only  fairly  well. 
Beets,  carrots  and  parsnips,  on  the  other 
hand,  are  coming  out  of  the  pits  in 
prime  condition,  what  there  are  of  them. 
The  quantity  of  these  latter,  however, 
is  greatly  reduced  this  year,  particu- 
larly of  carrots,  of  which  there  will  be 
only  a  trifling  acreage.  Turnips  also 
will  be  set  in  less  quantity  than  usual, 
as  growers  in  this  section  have  difficulty 
in  finding  a  dollar  growing  this  seed  at 
present  prices. 

"As  to  corn,  we  have  strong  seed 
with  which  to  start  out  and  by  the  time 
our  growers  and  ourselves  get  this  into 
the  ground  Mother  Nature  must  have 
surely  warmed  up  to  her  job.     The  seed

will  go  into  the  ground  somewhat  late, 
but  corn,  with  favorable  conditions, 
which  are  surely  due  us  from  this  on, 
will  rapidly  make  up  for  lost  time.  The 
acreage  will  not  be  large.  Growers  are 
fighting  shy  of  corn,  like  turnips  for 
seed,  and  for  like  reasons.  We  shall 
have  to  ask  more  money  for  our  Con- 
necticut seed  in  order  to  be  able  to  pro- 
duce it  in  sufficient  quantity  to  satisfy 
our  trade. 

"In  the  pea  and  bean  sections  con- 
ditions are  nearly  identical  with  those 
here.  Our  superintendent  over  our  Wis- 
consin branch,  when  last  reporting,  stated 
that  it  was  snowing  as  he  wrote  and 
that  the  first  seeding  was  still  two  weeks 
off.  Our  Mr.  Cross,  in  charge  of  our 
Michigan  branch,  states  that  no  seed- 
ing was  done  in  his  section  until  the 
first  part  of  May.  However,  this 
handicap  will  be  readily  overcome  if 
favorable  conditions  follow.  The  seed 
grower  must  be  optimistic.  Treat  us 
somewhat  more  respectably  in  the  mat- 
ter of  moisture  than  we  were  treated 
last  season  and  we  will  yet  'make 
good'  with  a  crop  of  peas  and  beans. 
As  to  acreage,  up  to  March  it  looked 
as  though  we  should  not  get  all  our  seed 
out — the  farmers  were  thoroughly  dis- 
couraged. An  advance  in  farm  prices, 
together  with  other  considerations,  and 
much  coaxing  finally  induced  them  to 
try  once  more,  with  the  result  that  all  of 
our  desired  acreage  of  both  peas  and 
beans  is  now  booked. 

"Our  stocks  along  all  lines  are  un- 
expectedly well  cleaned  up.  In  the 
small  seeds  we  have  no  surplus  to  men- 
tion, and  of  corn  only  the  customary 
odds  and  ends,  which  will  always  be  on 
hand  at  the  end  of  every  season. 
Together,  however,  these  do  not  aggre- 
gate a  surplus  of  any  consequence.  Of 
peas,  it  goes  without  saying,  and  of 
beans  as  well,  we  are  practically  bare. 
Thus  we  start  out  the  new  year  of  pro- 
duction with  a  clean  slate,  good  future 
sales  and  high  hopes  for  a  full  crop."

grown  vunler  the  same  treatment,  is  in 
the  order  given,  eonimeneing  with  Christ- 
mas week.  The  old  <louble  Von  Sion  is 
first,  closely  followed  by  Golden  Spur, 
Henry  Irving,  Princeps,  Sir  Watkin, 
Poeticiis  ornatus.  Emperor,  Kmpress  and 
Barrii  ccnspicuus.  Practically  no  other 
variety  is  forced  here  by  the  thousand. 
Possibly  some  growers  will  remark  upon 
the  exclusion  of  Horsfieldii  from  this  list, 
but  this  variety  is  quite  out  of  favor  with 
English  growers  and  is  seldom  used,  on 
account  of  its  almost  certain  liability  to 
the  disastrous  basal  rot,  and  also  on  ac- 
count of  the  soft,  flimsy  texture  of  the 
bloom,  the  petals  being  almost  transpar- 
ent and  so  delicate  as  to  be  damaged  by 
the  slightest  rough  usage.  The  variety 
Empress  has  almost  entirely  superseded 
Horsfiehlii,  being  more  fobust  in  consti- 
tution and  taller  and  stouter  in  growth, 
with  blooms  that  have  double  the  texture 
and  durability.  B,  J.

COLORADO  ONIONS  TO  GO  WEST 

It  is  reported  from  Cireeley,  Colo., 
that  J.  B.  Agnew,  of  the  Pacific  Seed 
Growers '  Co.,  and  Russell  Woldenberg, 
of  the  Braslan  Seed  Growers'  Co.,  have 
been  there  recently,  the  latter  as  lately 
as  April  29,  contracting  for  available 
fields    of    onions    now     planted     in     the 


vicinity  of  Greeley.  Weather  conditions 
at  Greeley  are  said  to  have  been  fairly 
seasonable  this  year  and  the  prospect  is 
for  a  good  crop  of  bulbs,  such  part  of 
which  as  the  Californians  have  secured 
to  be  shipped  to  the  Santa  Clara  valley 
for  planting  for  the  1908  crop. 

It  is  well  understood  in  the  trade  that

one  of  the  difficulties  of  the  California 
growers  early  in  the  season  was  a  short- 
age of  onion  bulbs  on  the  coast  for  plant- 
ing for  the  1907  crop.  Recent  develop- 
ments have  shown  that  this  condition, 
instead  of  being  improved,  will  only  be 
accentuated  when  planting  season  comes 
again,  except  for  some  such  move  as  re- 
ceiving supplies  from  other  localities, 
like  Greeley.

THE  CX)RN  ROOT-APHIS. 

As  a  means  of  replying  to  the  requests 
received  for  full  directions  for  the  treat- 
ment of  seed  corn  as  a  protection  against 
injury  by  the  corn  root-aphis,  the  state 
entomologist  for  Illinois,  Dr.  S.  A. 
Forbes,  has  prepared  the  following.  The 
quantities  mentioned  are  sufficient  to 
treat  the  corn  necessary  for  seeding 
about  forty-five  acres.  If  a  larger  or 
smaller  acreage  is  to  be  planted,  each 
can  easily  figure  the  necessary  amount 
for  himself: 

Mix  one  pint  of  pure  oil  of  lemon  with  one 
gallon  of  denatured  alcohol  or  wood  alcohol. 

Put  one  bushel  of  seed  com  into  a  tub,  half- 
barrel,  or  similar  vessel  large  enough  to  allow 
vigorous  stirring  of  the  corn. 

Measure  out  one  and  one-half  pints  of  the 
mixture  of  oil  of  lemon  and  alcohol. 

Slowly  sprinkle  this  mixture  on  the  corn,  at 
the  same  time  stirring  the  latter  vigorousl.v 
with  a  stout  paddle  or  stick.  Do  not  let  the  oij 
collect  at  the  bottom  ot  the  vessel  for  lack  of 
stirring  and  thorough  mixing.  Stir  vigorously 
until  the  oil  is  well  distributed.  It'  should  not 
take  five  minutes  to  prepare  a  bushel  of  seed. 

Put  the  corn  thus  prepared  into  a  grain  sack 
and  it  is  ready  to  take  to  the  field  for  planting. 
Keep  this  sack  in  the  shade. 

Do  not  prepare  more  than  can  be  planted  in  a 
balf  a  day,  unless  it  is  inconvenient  to  return 
to  the  crib  at  noon. 


PURITY  OF  SEEDS. 

Should  seeds  be  strictly  pure,  and  if 
not  how  nearly  pure  should  they  bet 

The  purity  of  seeds  varies  greatly 
with  their  kind.  The  Maine  Experiment 
Station  says  it  is  possible  to  grow 
timothy  seed  so  clean  that  it  carries 
practically  no  foreign  weed  seeds.  It 
is  not  so  easy  to  grow  any  of  the  other 
grasses  or  clovers  as  clean.     The  director

of  the  station  says  there  is  no  need  to 
ever  b^y  timothy  seed  that  is  much  less 
than  99.5  per  cent  pure.  Samples  have 
been  examined  by  the  station  the  present 
year  which  contained  not  a  single 
foreign  harmful  seed. 

The  best  red  clover  seeds  will  fre- 
quently carry  as  much  as  one  per  cent 
of  foreign  matter,  although  these  im- 
purities are  usually  comparatively  harm- 
less. In  many  of  the  low  grade  red 
clovers,  which  are  only  ninety-five  per 
cent  pure,  it  sometimes  happens  that  a 
large  part  of  the  impurities  are  harm- 
less. It  is,  however,  poor  policy  for  the 
sower  to  buy  a  red  clover  seed  that  is 
less  than  ninety-eight  per  cent  pure.

once  been  introduced.  Samples  of  red- 
top  carrying  as  high  as  twelve  or  even 
fifteen  per  cent  of  timothy  are  not  un- 
usual. If  one  could  be  sure  that  the 
impurities  were  harmless,  like  chaff  and 
timothy,  it  might  be  safe  to  buy  a  red- 
top  even  as  low  as  eighty-five  per  cent 
pure.  Unless  one  is  assured  of  the 
character  of  the  impurities,  it  is  unwise 
to  buy  a  redtop  less  than  ninety-five  per 
cent  pure. 

From  the  above  it  is  evident  that  in 
the  judgment  of  the  director  of  the  ex- 
periment station,  it  is  wise  to  buy  only 
high  grade  seeds  that  are  comparatively 
pure.  He  says  that  not  only  are  the 
high-grade  seeds  purer,  but  they  are 
usually  larger,  plumper  and  heavier, 
more  of  them  will  germinate,  and  they 
make  stronger  plants.

EUROPEAN  NOVELTIES. 

The  following  notes  on  continental 
novelties  we  take  from  the  supplement 
to  the  Horticultural  Trade  Journal,  an 
English  publication : 

Begonia  Semperf  lorens  La  France. 

This  cross  between  B.  semperflorens 
elegans  and  B.  semperflorens  gracilis 
rosea,  possesses  all  the  good  j)oiuts  of 
the  parents;  the  large  blooms  form  co- 
rymbs of  great  breadth,  well  raised 
above  the  foliage,  and  so  numerous  as 
to  cover  the  entire  plant.  The  plant 
has  good  height,  leaves  shining  green, 
and  of  a  size  commensurate  with  the 
blooms.  Well  adapted  for  large  as  for 
small  beds,  etc,  and  for  pot  culture  and 
solitary  plants.  When  taken  up  from 
the  beds  in  the  open  in  autumn  and  pot- 
ted, the  plant  continues  to  flower  the  en- 
tire winter.  The  variety  originated  in 
a  garden  in  southern  Germany,  and  is 
being  sent  out  by  Daiker  &  Otto,  nur- 
serymen, at  I^ngenweddingen,  near 
Magdeburg. 

Begonia  Semperflorens  Berna. 

This  pretty  variety  is  much  finer  than 
B.  semperflorens  magnifica,  and  comes 
true  from  seed,  a  matter  of  great  value 
to  those  who  are  not  possessed  of  much 
space  under  glass  in  the  winter  season. 
It  has  been  in  commerce  for  two  years. 
The  flowers  are  brilliant  red  in  tint, 
the  anthers  j-ellow,  making  a  good  effect. 
The  growth  is  much  branched,  and  the 
flowering  extends  from  early  summer  to 
late  autumn.  The  leaves  have  a  metallic 
hue.  It  is  better  to  avoid  a  rich  soil 
for  B.  semperflorens  if  flowers  are  de- 
sired. 

Gigantic  G)Ieu8. 

Half  a  dozen  crosses  of  coleus  have 
been  raised  by  the  firm  of  Teupel  Bros., 
of  (^uedlinburg,  which  are  said  to  ex- 
ceed all  other  large  growing  varieties 
in  the  extraordinary  sizes  of  their  leaves 
and  robustness  of  growth.  The  leaves 
also  possess  fine  coloring.  The  plants 
make  imposing  objects  and  bear  com- 
parison with  the  handsomest  codseiums, 
but  they  are  incomparably  quicker  and 
more  easy  growers. 

Fuchsia  Emile  Wildman. 

Although  the  fuchfia  has  been  a  fa- 
vorite plant  with  hybridists  and  cross- 
breeders  for  more  than  three-quarters 
of  a  century,  novelties  are  annually  be- 
ing raised  which  deserve  attention. 
Among  the  latest  of  these  is  Emile  de 
Wildman.  a  variety  put  into  commerce 
in  1905  by  the  raisers,  Lemoine  &  Sons, 
of  Nancy.  This  variety  grows  naturally 
in  regular  pyramidal  form  without  prun- 
ing, and  flowers  grandly,  still  it  is  ad- 
vised by  a  writer  in  Moller's  Deutsche 
(iartner-Zeitung  to  nip  off  the  flower 
buds  till  the  end  of  the  month  of  May. 
The  flowers  j)ossess  carmine  sepals  of  a 
light  tint,  and  a  very  large  and  full 
corolla  of  a  dull  tint  of  rose-pink.  The 
plant  has  great  vigor  and  should  find 
much  employment  in  conservatories  on 
pillars  and  walls,  and  as  a  standard. 

Heliotrope  Cyclops. 

One  of  the  most  valuable  varieties  of 
heliotropes  is  Cycjops,  raised  by  Herrn. 
P.  Fidler,  at  Strausberg,  near  Berlin. 
The  habit  diflfers  from  that  of  the  older 
varieties,  is  more  compact,  and  growth 
is  made  from  below,  and  without  being 
rampant,  and  the  flower  corymbs  stand 
out  well  from  the  leaves  and  shoots,  on 
stout  footstalks.     The  plant  is  as  avail-

May  9,  1907. 


PACIFIC  COAST. 


Tacoma,  Wash. — Charles  Halkier  ex- 
pects to  begin  this  summer  the  erection 
of  three  parallel  greenhouses,  each  16x100 
feet. 

Tacoma,  Wash. — E.  B.  Roberts,  super- 
intendent of  parks,  has  offered  the  U.  S. 
Department  of  Agriculture  the  use  of  five 
acres  of  land  in  Point  Defiance  park  for 
experiments  in  bulb  growing. 

Grass  Vallev,  Cal. — William  E.  John- 
son has  a  force  of  men  at  work  building 
large  greenhouses  at  his  place  on  West 
Broad  street.  He  expects  to  engage  ex- 
tensively in  the  flower  and  plant  business. 

Chico,  Cal. — A  sale  has  been  consum- 
mated whereby  F.  W.  Power,  who  has 
held  the  controlling  interest  in  the  Chico 
Nursery  Co.,  and  M.  McDonald  and  A. 
McGill,  minority  stockholders,  have  dis- 
posed of  their  entire  interests  in  this 
company  to  F.  X.  Bouillard,  E.  Wight- 
man  and  E.  Harlan  of  this  city,  who  are 
now   sole   proprietors. 


VICTORIA,  B.  C. 


Bedding  season  has  set  in  and  the  out- 
look is  gooil.  Geraniums  look  like  being 
in  short  supply. 

Carnations  are  now  fine  in  many  of 
the  establishments.  Enchantress,  of 
course,  holds  first  place.

The  Market. 


Business  is  at  a  low  ebb  and  were 
it  not  for  the  few  funerals  and  some- 
thing in  the  way  of  school  closings  there 
would  be  hardly  aoiything  to  write 
about.  The  threatened  street  car  strike 
did  not  materialize,  as  was  expected, 
and  everyone  breathes  more  freely  in 
consequence,  as  during  the  trouble  of 
last  year  the  florists  were  affected  dis- 
astrously. 

Stock  of  all  kinds,  with  the  possible 
exception  of  fancy  roses,  is  extremely 
plentiful  and  prices  are  away  down. 
Carnations  can  be  had  at  any  figure, 
but  the  surplus  will  be  over  in  a  few 
days  and  better  prices  may  prevail. 
There  is  not  much  yet  to  be  had  in  the 
line  of  outside  stock.  A  few  sweet  peas 
have  arrived,  but  they  show  the  results 
of  the  excess  of  moisture  and  from  the 
first  plantings  we  can  not  expect  an 
extra  good  cut.  Violets  are  practically 
over.  Only  a  few  straggling  bunches  are 
seen   and   there   is  no  demand   for  them. 

Late  flowering  daffodils,  as  well  as 
outdoor  tulips,  are  holding  on.  Valley 
is  plentiful  and  cheap,  although  it  is 
not  in  quite  as  abundant  supply  as  it 
was  two  weeks  ago.  Peonies  sell  well, 
but  they  are  not  yet  in  large  supply. 
Coreopsis,  gaillardias  and  stocks  are  be- 
ginning to  be  peddled  around  the  streets 
by  the  hucksters,  which  usually  shows 
that  flowers  are  getting  plentiful  and 
prices  have   dropped.

Various  Notes. 

(  larke  Bros.,  of  Oakland,  took  a 
unique  way  of  advertising  the  openings 
of  their  new  Clay  street  store.  They 
announced  in  the  daily  papers  that  every 
lady  attending  would  be  given  a  bouquet 
of  carnations.  The  crush  was  tre- 
mendous ;  the  public  stormed  the  place 
all  day  long.  The  clerks  were  unable 
to  handle  the  mob,  but  succeeded  in  giv- 
ing away  about  25,000  flowers  before 
the  day   was  over. 

John  Vallance,  for  many  years  super- 
intendent of  the  plant  department  of 
the  Cox  Seed  Co.  at  Glen  Echo,  will  con- 
tinue in  the  sanie  position  with  ('.  C. 
Morse  &  Co.,  the  successors  of  the 
former  owners. 

Much  difficulty  is  being  experienced 
by  the  growers  in  getting  sufficient  help 
to  handle  their  nurseries.  The  tre- 
mendous demand  in  other  lines  in  which 
labor  is  better  paid  accounts  for  this, 
so  that  the  growers  have  had  to  rely  to 
a  great  extent  on  Japanese. 

Thomas  O'Xeil,  for  many  years 
identified  with  the  Myrobolan  Nurseries 
at  Hayward,  has  withdrawn  from  that 
firm  and  will  plant  about  twenty  acres 
of  young  stock  at  Mount  Eden. 

.T.  J.  Kegley,  for  many  years  con- 
nected with  the  Wragg  Nursery  Co.,  of 
Des  Moines,  la.,  but  at  present  on  a 
visit  to  the  Pacific  coast,  will  take  a  trip

Co.,  of  Pasadena,  was  especially  attract- 
ive, palms  and  plants  being  mingled  with 
the  larger  shrubs  in  a  pleasing  manner. 
The  Signal  Hill  Flower  Co.  had  an  ex- 
hibit of  cut  blossoms  and  greens  that 
has  attracted  much  attention,  and  the 
exhibit  of  the  Oceanside  Floral  Co.  in- 
clu<led  dahlias,  carnations,  sweet  peas 
and  coreopsis. 

One  of  the  most  magnificent  displays 
of  the  entire  show  was  that  of  amaryllis 
from  the  John  Lewis  Childs  place  in 
South  Pasadena.  The  Wright  Floral  Co. 
exhibit  was  a  single  basket  of  lavender 
sweet  peas,  with  maidenhair  ferns. 

Near  the  center  of  the  open  floor  space 
was  one  of  the  triumphs  of  the  exhibi- 
tion, a  magnificent  pergola  from  the 
Rising-Dunscombe  Co.  Ferns  and  car- 
nations, varied  by  pink  and  white  roses 
and  red  carnations  with  appropriate 
green,  massed  pleasingly,  formed  a  com- 
bination which  reflected  credit  on  the 
decorator. 

From  the  estate  of  A.  Campbell- 
Johnston,  at  Garvanza,  come  magnificent 
iris  and  gladioli.  In  the  booths  around 
the  sides  of  the  rink  refreshments  were 
served  by  the  ladies  of  Christ  church, 
and  there  were  several  entertainment 
booths  also  in  charge  of  these  ladies.

It  is  reported  that  the  Waterloo  Nurs- 
ery Co.,  Waterloo,  Wis.,  is  planning  to 
remove  its  headquarters  to  Fall  Creek, 
Wis. 

Augustine  &  Co.,  Normal,  111.,  report 
a  fine  spring  business,  prolonged  by  the 
continued  cold  weather.  They  have 
shipped  Sudduth  pear  trees  to  South  Af- 
rica, Australia,  Japan  and  other  coun- 
tries. 

The  U.  .  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
has  just  issued  a  bulletin  of  forty-two 
pages  devoted  to  a  discussion  of 
* '  Spraying  for  Apple  Diseases  and  the 
(Codling  Moth  in  the  Ozarks. "  As  it  is 
stated  that  Ben  Davis  is  the  predominat- 
ing variety  in  the  orchards  affected,  dis- 
criminating consumers  of  apples  will 
doubtless  think  the  publication  of  the 
pamphlet  a  sad  waste  of  puoiic  funds, 
but  if  the  bulletin  does  not  show  how  to 
improve  the  flavor  of  the  Ben  Davis,  it 
tells  how  the  merchantable  percentage  of 
the  crop  may  be  largely  increased. 


SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS. 

Currants  and  gooseberries  encuml)er  the 
ground  if  they  are  not  kept  free  of 
worms.  1  know  of  nothing  so  unsightly 
as  rows  of  currant  and  gooseljerry 
bushes  denuded  of  their  foliage  and  with 
starved  fruit  sorrowfully  clinging  to  their 
branches.  Timely  applications  of  pow- 
dered hellebore  will  keep  them  in  good 
condition  and  render  them  capable  of 
maturing  good  fruit.  The  early  morn- 
ing, when  the  foliage  is  moist,  is  the  best 
time  to  apply  the  powder;  one  or  even 
two  applications  may  not  suffice. 

California  privet  grown  into  shapely 
specimens  of  medium  size  will  pay  for 
the  little  extra  care  and  trouble  required, 
by  the  price  easily  obtained  for  such 
stock.  To  grow  them  as  suggested,  the 
plants  after  the  first  year  neeil  room  to 
form  into  the  dimensions  de.sired.  An 
occasional  clipping  will  bring  them  into 
shape.  Many  privets  grown  in  this  way 
are  now  planted  singly  and  in  groups 
and  rows  on  private  estates.  Standard 
privets  in  many  instances  are  answering 
the  purposes  for  which  bay  trees  were 
heretofore  used,  and  it  is  questionable  if 
they  are  not  as  effective  as  the  bays. 
Tliey  are  certainly  hardier  and  can  be 
produced  at  a  much  less  expense. 

.Japanese  maples,  in  order  to  keep 
them  in  good  shape  indefinitely,  should 
be  regularly  pruned  hard  back.  Then 
they  will  continue  to  develop  their  ef- 
fective characteristics,  whereas,  if  they 
are  let  alone  to  grow  unhindered,  in  a 
very  short  while  they  will  get  unshapely 
and  bare  of  foliage  at  the  base. 

Plants  of  Hydrangea  Otaksa  in  tubs 
and  left  unsold  should  be  planted  out  in 
the  open  ground,  and,  if  the  flowers  are 
no  consideration,  it  will  also  help  to  in- 
crease the  value  of  the  plants  to  cut 
them  back  well  when  planting  them. 

Hydrangea  paniculata  grandiflora  is 
easily  grown  from  hardwood  cuttings, 
and  considering  the  demand  for  plants 
of  small  size  they  should  be  grown  in 
large  numbers.

FOREST  PLANTING  LEAFLETS. 

Under  date  of  April  29  the  Forest 
Service,  U.  S.  Department  ot  Agricul- 
ture, issued  another  set  of  its  forest 
planting  leaflets.  These  will  be  of  in- 
terest to  the  nurserymen,  as  they  describe 
the  characteristics  of  each  species, 
treated  under  the  several  headings  of 
form  and  size,  range,  habits  and  growth, 
economic  uses,  methods  of  propagation, 
planting,  cultivation  and  care,  etc. 

Not  only  is  the  department  issuing  a 
large  edition  of  these  circulars,  but 
copies  are  supplied  to  the  daily  and 
weekly  press,  with  the  result  that  the 
circulation  runs  into  millions  of  copies. 

The  subjects  of  this  series  are  as  fol- 
lows: Hardy  catalpa,  Catalpa  speciosa; 
box  elder,  Acer  negundo;  white  willow, 
Salix  alba;  tamarack,  Larix  laricina; 
black  walnut,  Juglans  nigra;  osage 
orange,  Toxylon  pomiferum;  coffee  tree, 
Gymnocladus  dioicus;  green  ash,  Fraxi- 
nus  lanceolata;  yellow  poplar,  Lirioden- 
dron  tulipifera. 


FOLEY'S  FAMILY  FRACAS. 

M.  F.  Foley,  president  of  the  Great 
Northern  Nursery  Co.,  Baraboo,  Wis., 
was  a  candidate  for  the  state  senate  at 
the  last  election  and  political  capital 
was  made  of  a  suit  started  by  his 
brother,  W.  E.  Foley,  who  claimed  a 
balance  due  under  a  contract.  Election 
circulars  said  the  plaintiff  wanted  a 
"square  deal." 

W.  E.  Foley  had  a  contract  with  the 
Great  Northern  Nursery  Co.,  under 
which  he  was  to  receive  certain  stock 
from  the  company  at  wholesale  prices, 
and  he  in  turn  sold  this  stock  to  custom- 
ers in  different  parts  of  Wisconsin,  using 
the  company's  order  blanks,  but  taking 
the  profits  between  the  price  he  paid 
to  the  company  and  that  which  he  got 
from  the  customers.  In  the  season  of 
1905  he  took  certain  orders  for  deliver- 
ing the  following  spring,  which  he 
claimed  he  turned  over  to  the  company 
and  upon  which  he  sued  for  $977.  M. 
F.  Foley  claimed  that  the  orders  taken 
by  W.  E.  Foley  were  purchased  by  the 
company  and  more  than  paid  for. 

The  questions  submitted  to  the  jury, 
with  answers  by  the  jury,  were: 

1.  Did  the  defendant  company  pur- 
chase of  W.  E.  Foley  the  orders  in  ques- 
tion!    Answer:    Yes. 

2.  Did  W.  E.  Foley  have  any  authority 
to  give  free  replace  contracts  with  de- 
fendant's   customers?      Answer:     No. 

Both  questions  were  decided  in  favor 
of  the  company,  and  the  decision  wiped 
out  the  plaintiff's  cause  for  action  en- 
tirely, and  it  entitles  the  company  to  go 
on  and  prove  what  damages  have  been 
caused  by  the  plaintiff  having  gi^■en 
replace  contracts  to  patrons  which  he 
had  no  right  to  do.  The  company  claims 
that  the  replace  contracts  made  with 
customers  by  W.  E.  Foley,  then  agent 
of  the  company,  were  filled  because  it 
was  obliged  to  make  good  agreements  of 
agents  in  order  that  it  might  retain  its 
standing  with  the  patrons. 

Whether  the  Great  Northern  Nursery 
Co.  will  prosecute  for  damages  is  not 
known,  but  it  is  likely  that  it  will  not, 
now  that  its  president  has  removed  the 
stigma  from  his  name  of  having  "tried 
to  beat  his  brother."

DEUTZIAS. 

One  of  the  hardiest  deutzias  is  the 
species  par\'iflora,  a  native  of  northern 
China.  A  native  of  China  and  Japan  is 
Deutzia  scabra,  usually  sold  in  nurseries 
as  Deutzia  crenata.  It  varies  in  height 
from  six  to  ten  feet,  according  to  condi- 
tions, with  stout,  yellowish  branches. 
The  upright,  spiked,  white  clusters  come 
into  bloom  in  June  and  last  until  July. 
There  are  a  good  many  forms  of  this 
deutzia  in  cultivation,  differing  in  semi- 
double,  double  and  purple  or  rose-tinted 
blossoms. 

Deutzia  Watereri  has  a  large,  double, 
rose-tinted  flower  which  is  showy.  Deut- 
zia discolor,  a  native  of  China,  is  a  grace- 
ful shrub  growing  three  to  four  feet  tall, 
wit^  white  flowers  tinged  with  pink  on 
the  outer  side  of  the  petals.  It  needs 
protection  from  the  cold  in  New  Eng- 
land winters.  Deutzia  Kalmaeflora  is  a 
beautiful  shrub,  with  large,  white,  dis- 
tinct blossoms  slightly  tinted  with  rose, 
but  the  publicity  bureau  of  the  National 
Council  of  Horticulture  says  it  should  be 
well  protected  in  winter. 

A  large  number  of  forms  and  hybrids 
have  lately  been  sent  out  by  French 
originators  in  which  the  parentage  of 
Deutzia  gracilis  on  one  side  has  been 
largely  used,  and  which  are  conspicuous 
for  rose  tints,  large,  bell-shaped  blossoms 
and  more  conspicuous  clusters.

IMPROVEMENT  OF  THE  GRAPE. 

[A  paper  by  Wm.  B.  Munson,  Denlson,  Tex., 
read  before  a  recent  session  of  his  state  hor- 
ticultural   society.] 

It  has  always  been  the  custom  of  in- 
telligent and  progressive  people,  when 
they  find  there  is  a  quality  lacking,  or  a 
shortcoming  in  any  article,  tool,  animal 
or  food,  to  find  out  what  this  shortcom- 
ing is,  or  what  the  defect  is,  or  where  it 
lacks  in  certain  qualities  that  might  be 
better,  and  then  to  see  if  such  can  not  be 
improved,  either  by  doing  away  with  the 
poor  qualities  and  substituting  better  or 
to  improve  that  quality  already  found. 
Such  has  been  the  history  of  tile  grape 
in  Texas  and  the  south. 

Need  of  the  South. 

When  the  pioneers  first  came  to  this 
country  they  found  no  native  cultivated 
varieties,  but  only  wild  kinds  growing  in 
the  woods,  and  these  wild  kinds,  while 
the  vines  flourished,  produced  no  such 
fruit  in  good  eating  qualities  or  did  not 
have  the  proper  marketing  qualities  as 
had  such  cultivated  varieties  in  the  north 
and  east.  So  the  first  improvement  over 
the  sour  grapes  of  the  woods  was  to  get 
vines  of  the  northern  varieties  and  plant 
them  here.  But  it  was  soon  demon- 
strated that  they  would  not  be  the  ideal 
grape  for  the  south,  as  they  were  gener- 
ally short-lived,  and  the  quality  of  the

fruit  was  not  as  good  as  the  same  variety 
is  found  to  possess  in  its  northern  home. 
The  efifort  to  plant  the  varieties  of  the 
vinifera  or  European  grape  also  failed  in 
that  the  vines  and  fruit  possess  no  re- 
sistive qualities  to  fungus  troubles;  that 
is,  mildews  or  rots.  The  reason  for  their 
doing  so  well  in  California  and  other 
places  is  that  those  places  have  a  dry  at- 
mosphere, in  which  such  fungus  growths 
do  not  thrive.  Thus  it  became  patent 
that  if  the  grape  industry  was  to  be  of 
any  good  in  this  section  of  the  south  it 
was  necessary  to  get  a  set  of  varieties 
that  could  endure  the  climatic  conditions 
of  severe  drouth  and  sudden  cold  and  at 
the  same  time  to  get  grapes  of  fine  eat- 
ing and  good  marketing  qualities. 


Meeting  the  Need. 
Here  was  a  want  to  be  supplied. 


How 


was  this  to  be  filled?  By  improving  the 
old  sorts,  by  giving  them  healthy  vines 
and  better  quality,  if  possible;  by  im- 
proving the  vigorous,  long-lived  native 
grapes  by  giving  them  a  sweeter,  a  more 
agreeable  flavor,  a  larger  cluster  and  a 
persistent  berry,  so  that  it  would  carry 
to  distant  markets.  Could  not  this  come 
about  by  cross-breeding  and  combine  the 
good  qualities  of  both  fruit  and  vine  into 
a  new  variety?  Such  was  the  solution. 
But  it  can  not  be  done  in  a  day,  or  a 
generation,  but  must  take  time  and 
patience. 

We  find  in  the  woods  as  native  growth 
vines  of  the  post  oak  grape.  Learning 
its  life  history  and  characteristics,  we 
find  it  to  be  healthy,  vigorous,  deep- 
rooting  and  long-lived,  in  a  climate  we 
want    such    qualities.     But    we    find    its 


fruit  is  rather  too  astringent  for  pleas- 
ant eating,  but  also  find  there  is  quite  a 
variation  in  its  fruit,  as  some  vines  have 
much  better  and  sweeter  fruit  than 
others,  as  well  as  a  variation  in  size  of 
cluster,  and  persistence  of  berry  to  clus- 
ter. In  this  way  a  selection  is  made  of 
the  vines  having  the  fruit  nearest  our 
ideal.  Such  vines  are  taken  up  at  the 
proper  season,  or  else  cuttings  taken 
from  them  and  propagated  so  that  we 
can  have  vines  to  set  in  the  vineyard  as 
parent  vines.  In  the  same  way  we 
choose  varieties  of  the  other  kinds,  hav- 
ing the  fine  flavors,  large,  fine  appearing 
clusters.  After  the  selection  of  the 
parent  vines  are  made,  and  having  them 
planted  in  the  same  or  neighboring  vine- 
yards, we  are  ready  for  the  next  step.

BALTIMORE. 


The  Market. 


Siuee  my  last  report  the  market  con- 
ditions have  been  about  the  same.  The 
stores  and  retail  markets  are  doing  all 
that  can  be  expected.  .  The  cold  days 
and  nights  hampered  business  somewhat 
and,  to  top  it  off,  the  circus  was  hero 
and  the  races  were  going  on,  which 
made  the  -week  a  little  dull.  However, 
few  cut  flowers  went  to  waste.  Carna- 
tions are  just  enough  to  meet  the  de- 
mand. Boses  are  a  little, more  plentiful, 
•while  violets  are  getting  to  be  a  pre- 
mium. Bulbous  stock  is  getting  off  the 
market  fast.  There  is  a  good  supply  of 
callas  and  Harrisii  left.  Greens  of  all 
kinds  are  a  little  scarce  yet. 

We  are  still  in  the  clutches  of  wintry 
weather  and  the  bedding  plants  move 
slowly.  As  soon  as  the  weather  breaks, 
thousands  of  potted  plants  will  be 
thrown  upon  the  market  and  a  grand 
rush  will  take  place.  Already  some  of 
our  growers  are  offering  plants  at  an 
extremely  low  figure. 

Various  Notes. 

F.  Seidlich,  of  Woodlawn,  has  sold 
;his  place,  consisting  of  five  and  one-half 
acres,  and  has  bought  one  and  one-half 
acres  of  land  from  Mrs.  Selzie,  at  Ca- 
tonsville.     He  will  rebuild  at  once. 

The  weather  conditions  ha\"e  kept  one 
of  the  regulars  at  home,  J.  H.  Brummel, 
of  (.'atonsville,  who  has  been  well  known 
by  tiie  trade  for  the  last  twenty-five 
years  and  who  has  stood  on  the  same 
corner  that  his  son,  August,  now  occu- 
pies. jS'o  doubt,  as  soon  as  the  weather 
permits  lie  will  again  be  with  the  regu- 
lars. 

J.  O.  Strand  reports  market  trade  dull 
in  the  potted  plant  line. 

After  spending  a  day  in  town  May  3, 
J.  B.  Harman,  on  reaching  his  home, 
found  a  large  hay  barrack  a  mass  of 
flames  and  the  stables  and  other  build- 
ings in  danger.  The  prompt  arrival  of 
the  county  fire  department  kept  the  blaze 
under  control.  Mr.  Harman  has  one  of 
the  liest  kept  places  in  Catonsville. 

Thomas  Patterson,  of  Waverly,  is  of- 
fering his  place  for  sale.  It  is  improved 
with  a  fine  dwelling  house  and  stable 
and  a  range  of  greenhouses,  and  is  con- 
venient to  the  center  of  the  citv. 

H.  C.  Scott  &  Sons,  of  Ellicott  City, 
are  cutting  a  fine  lot  of  short-stemmed 
Marechal  Niel  out  of  a  house  20x60  feet. 
These  come  in  splendidly  for  funeral 
work  and  there  is  a  steady  demand  for 
them.

ALBANY.  N.  Y. 


Banquet  of  the  Florists'  Club. 

The  first  annual  banquet  of  the  Al- 
bany riorists'  Club  was  held  in  the  even- 
ing of  April  29  in  the  Hotel  Hampton. 
It  was  attended  by  thirty-four  members 
of  the  trade  in  Albany  and  vicinity  and 
proved  a  most  enjoyable  occasion.  One 
of  the  features  was  the  election  of  offi- 
cers for  the  ensuing  year.  It  resulted  as 
follows : 

President,  William  C.  King;  first  vice- 
president,  Edward  F.  Meany;  second 
vice-president,  Frank  M.  Briare;  treas- 
urer, William  C.  Kurth;  secretary, 
Thomas  F.  Tracy;  committee  on  by-laws 
and  board  of  trustees,  Patrick  Hyde 
(chairman),  Henry  Barthel,  Fred 
Henkes,  Fred  Goldring  and  Patrick  K. 
Morrissey.  The  newly  elected  president, 
William  C.  King,  was  escorted  into  the 
chair  of  office  by  a  committee  composed 
of  William  C.  Gloeckner  and  William 
C.  Kurth. 

Short  addresses  were  made  by  Fred 
Henkes,  the  temporary  president  of  the 
club,  which  was  organized  last  summer, 
Frederick  Goldring,  the  oldest  florist  in 
this  section,  and  by  Fred  A.  Danker,  Wil- 
liam C.  Gloeckner,  William  C.  Kurth, 
Frank  M.  Briare,  Henry  Barthel,  Patrick 
K.  Morrissey,  Thomas  F.  Tracy,  Edward 
Tracy  and  others,  who  made  impromptu 
responses.  John  A.  Howe,  Jr.,  gave  re- 
cital of  his  experiences  as  an  amateur 
florist  and  in  addition  gave  a  number  of 
humorous    recitations. 

Among  those  present  were  the  follow- 
ing: Fred  A.  Danker,  William  C.  King, 
William  C.  Gloeckner,  William  Hannell, 
Watervliet;  Patrick  Hyde,  Frank  M. 
Briare,  George  Russell,  Henry  Barthel, 
James  Conley,  John  Murnane,  Jr.,  Frank 
Keeler,  Thomas  Snare,  Edward  F. 
Meany,  William  C.  Kurth,  Louie  Marx, 
John  Nealon,  John  Maloy,  James  J. 
Kairns,  Philadelphia;  Edmund  S.  Hazel- 
tine,  Thomas  F.  Tracy,  Fred  Henkes, 
Watervliet;  John  Boots,  Philip  Warner, 
Newtonville;  Henry  Long,  John  Henkes, 
Watervliet;  C.  J,  McDonough,  Thomas 
McAllister,  Patrick  K.  Morrissey,  Arthur 
King,  John  Haggerty,  Henry  Latham 
and  John  A.  Howe,  Jr.,  and  Fred 
Goldring. 

During  the  summer  the  club  proposes 
to  give  several  outings  and  to  carry  out 
several  plans  for  the  improvement  of  the 
business.

KANSAS  QTY. 


The  Market 


Stoek  is  uot  plentiful  and  carnations 
are  even  scarce  and  are  selling  for  3 
cents  and  4  cents.  At  times  there  are 
not  enough  to  meet  the  demand.  There 
has  been  a  good  demand  for  Beauties 
the  last  week  and  the  quality  is  fair. 
There  has  been  a  brisk  demand  for  pink 
and  white  roses,  but  the  quality  is  be- 
low the  average  and  a  better  grade  could 
have  been  sold  if  it  could  have  been  had. 
Sweet  peas  have  been  in  good  demand. 
There  were  some  fine  flowers  on  the 
market,  with  good  stems  for  this  season 
of  the  year.  A  few  gladioli  are  to  be 
had.  They  are  selling  at  4  cents.  Few 
callas  are  seen.  The  last  tulips  were 
cut  last  week.  A  few  purple  iris  are  in 
and  they  sell  readily. 

Various  Notes. 

W,e  have  been  having  peculiar  weather 
the  last  few  weeks.  One  day  it  is  as 
pleasant  as  summer  and  the  next  day 
it  is  snowing  and  freezing.  There  has 
been  little  bedding  done  so  far  and  what 
has  been  done  is  frozen.  We  are  two 
weeks  behind  with  our  planting  and  • 
when  the  sun  comes  out  once  more  there 
will  be  a  mighty  rush  for  all. 

Nelson  Jarrett  has  started  building 
two  large  greenhouses,  with  a  fine  office 
and  potting  shed.  They  will  be  heated 
by  hot  water.  He  never  brags  much 
about  what  he  intends  doing,  but  we  see 
that  he  is  coming  rapidly  to  the  front. 
He  has  the  finest  geraniums  in  the 
market.  He  has  added  the  best  new  va- 
rieties, which  are  bought  at  first  sight. 
He  says  that  his  strawberries  are  all 
killed  by  the  frost  and  there  will  be 
no   fruit  of   any   kind. 

George  F.  Eenz,  of  Kansas  City,  Kan., 
has  opened  a  store  at  751  Central  ave- 
nue, in  that  town.  Mr.  Renz  was  in 
this  city  last  week,  buying  stock  and 
making  arrangements  for  regular  orders 
for  stock  to  furnish  his  store. 

R.  S.  Brown  &  Son  are  doing  an  im- 
mense business  this  spring,  in  young 
plants.  They  are  about  sold  out  of 
coleus,  having  had  a  good  demand. 

Mr.  Snell,  of  Atchison,  Kan.,  was  in 
the  city  last  week,  attending  to  some 
urgent  business  and  also  purchasing 
some  plants  of  which  he  was  short.  He 
reports  business  as  being  good  in  his 
city. 

Arthur  Newell  reports  business  as  good 
considering  the  weather.  Mr.  Newell 
will  leave  in  three  weeks  for  Texas, 
where  he  and  Samuel  Murray  own  600 
acres  of  the  best  wheat  land  in  the 
south.  The  last  report  from  there  is 
that  the  wheat  is  in  the  best  of  condi- 
tion. The  green  bug  that  pervades  Okla- 
homa and  Kansas  is  not  known  there  and 
therefore  a  large  crop  is  expected.

and  Clyde  Hursh  were  married  recently. 
The  bride  is  the  daughter  of  C.  M.  Ten

PITTSBURG. 


The  Market. 


Weather  conditions  continue  the  same 
— one  fair  day  and  three  cloudy  or  rainy 
ones,  with  an  occasional  frost  sand- 
wiched iu.  Last  Monday  all  were  hope- 
ful that  we  were  going  to  have  season- 
able weather,  but  today  it  is  raining, 
all  are  in  the  dumps,  and  the  flower 
shops   look   like    funeral   houses. 

There  is  no  change  in  stock  coming 
in.  Carnations  are  still  short  of  supply. 
Eoses  are  bringing  good  prices.  Lilies 
and  smilax  are  short  of  supply,  but 
beauties  are  in  abundance.  Violets  are 
still  very  good,  with  lots  of  outside  nar- 
cissi of  all  kinds. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Pittsburg  Cut  Flower  Cp.  is  re- 
ceiving large  quantities  of  Gladiolus 
Blushing  Bride,  which  arc  fine. 

The  Pittsburg  Bose  &  Carnation  Co. 
is  cutting  fine  Richmond,  Chatenay  and 
Killarney. 

J.  B.  Murdoch  &  Co.  report  a  satisfac- 
tory business.  They  handle  stock  from 
growers  as  far  east  as  Philadelphia  and 
as  far  west  as  Indiana. 

Among  the  people  who  are  standing 
on  their  toes  at  this  time  is  John  Bader; 
the  plant  business  is  keeping  him  going 
overtime. 

Randolph  Sc  McClements  are  trying  to 
do  some  building,  and  their  plant  and 
decorative  business  is  very  active. 

Blind  Bros.,  with  their  two  stores  and 
market  stand,  are  showing  up  well  with 
the  large  quantities  of  blooming  plants 
they  have  in  every  day. 

Mrs.  E.  A.  Williams  has  her  hands 
full  with  numerous  social  affairs  and 
decorations. 

The  Florists'  Club  will  meet  Tuesday 
evening.  May  7.  Hoo-Hoo. 


Lansing,  Mich. — Rheinhardt  J.  Peter- 
son is  in  trouble  over  starting  to  build 
a  greenhouse  here  and  not  being  able  to 
complete  it.  The  lumber  people  charge 
misrepresentation. 

Columbus,  O. — Articles  of  incorpora- 
tion were  filed  April  29  for  the  Munk 
Floral  Co.  The  incorporators  are  Hiram 
M.  Munk,  Oliver  A.  Munk,  Edmund  A.

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


May  9,  1907. 


NEW  ORLEANS. 

In  the  month  of  May  we  can  say  in 
New  Orleans  that  the  best  season  to  sell 
plants  is  over.  This  year  has  not  been 
satisfactory,  by  any  means.  After  a 
mild  winter  the  gardens  were  full 
enough  of  plants  which  had  survived  to 
not  require  much  new  planting.  Besides, 
the  prices,  owing  to  some  surplus  pro- 
duction and  close  competition,  have 
been   decidedly   lower  than  usual. 

r.  X.  Baker,  who  supplies  several 
markets  downtown,  is  selling  young 
roses  at  a  low  figure.  It  is  astonishing 
to  see  the  growth  these  little  cuttings 
received  from  the  north  make  in  two  or 
three  months,  when  planted  in  the  right 
soil.  They  become  bushes  which  look  as 
though  they  were  two  or  three  years  old. 

B.  Eichling  is  again  with  U.  J.  Virgin. 

E.  Lockerbie  took  the  contract  to 
level  the  neutral  ground  of  Canal  street.

TARRYTOWN.  N.  Y. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  Tarry- 
town  Horticultural  Society  was  held  in 
the  regular  meeting  room  April  30,  with 
President  Howard  Nichols  in  the  chair. 
Four  magnificent  specimens  of  calceolaria 
in  6-inch  pots  were  exhibited  by  Mr.  At- 
kins, gardener  to  Henry  Seigle,  Mama- 
roneck,  N.  Y.,  who  was  awarded  a  cul- 
tural certificate  for  the  same  exhibit.  Mr. 
Atkinson  was  also  awarded  a  cultural 
certificate  for  two  plants  of  pelargoni- 
ums. Eobert  Allen,  gardener  to  E.  C. 
Benedict,  Greenwich  Court,  was  awarded 
a  cultural  certificate  for  a  cluster  of 
the  Princess  of  Wales  tomato,  there  being 
twenty-three  large  fruits  on  the  cluster. 
The  monthly  prize  for  two  foliage  plants 
was  awarded  to  D.  McFarlane  for  Dra- 
caena Lord  Wolseley  and  Croton  Lady 
Zetland. 

Henry  Seigle  offers  a  silver  cup  for 
the  best  table  of  ferns  and  flowering 
plants  at  the  fall  show. 

The  society  voted  to  donate  $25  toward 
the  fund  for  the  proposed  new  hospital, 
and  to  make  a  charge  of  25  cents  admis- 
sion to  the  June  show,  the  proceeds  to 
be  turned  over  to  the  hospital  fund.  The 
society  voted  also  to  lay  out  and  decorate 
the  grounds  around  the  new  hospital,  ex- 
clusive of  the  rough  grading.

MILWAUKEE. 


The  Market 


Business  for  the  month  of  April  was 
considerably  aliead  of  last  year  for  the 
same  period.  Usually  at  this  time  of  the 
year  there  is  an  abundance  of  stock,  but 
on  account  of  the  continued  cold  weather 
the  supply  kept  shortening  up  right 
along  and  good  prices  were  realized  on 
all  varieties,  Koses  are  beginning  to 
come  in  more  freely  now,  but  heavy  fu- 
neral work  keeps  them  pretty  well 
cleaned  up. 

Various  Notes. 

There  have  been  a  few  changes  among 
the  retailers  in  the  downtown  district. 
William  Ziinmerman  moved  one  block, 
and  now  occupies  a  large  store  at  Fifth 
street  and  Grand  avenue.  Peter  Kap- 
salis  is  occupying  a  store  on' Wisconsin 
street.  He  had  a  new  front  put  in  and 
the  interior  remodeled  and  now  has  one 
of  the  best  located  retail  stores  in  the 
downtown  district.  James  Chacona  has 
also  branched  out  and  now  occupies 
quarters  in  the  Plankinton  block.  Mrs. 
F.  Ennis  has  also  moved  into  a  new 
store  on  the  corner  of  Second  street  and 
Grand  avenue,  where  a  large  show  win- 
dow gives  her  plenty  of  space  for  mak- 
ing a  large  display.  Mrs.  Ennis  ex- 
pects to  do  a  good  business  in  her  new 
quarters. 

Considerable  space  was  given  in  one 
of  the  local  papers  last  month  to  out- 
door gardening,  and  prizes  are  to  be  of- 
fered for  the  best  arranged  and  most 
effective  yard.  Alex.  Klockner,  of  the 
Milwaukee  Florists'  Club,  was  selected 
;is  one  of  the  judges.  Incog. 


WICHITA,  KAN. 

S.  Kuechenmeister,  who  owns  green- 
houses west  of  Biverside  park,  reports 
that  the  hail  on  the  evening  of  Satur- 
day, April  27,  destroyed  over  3,000 
square  feet  of  glass  for  him  and  that  it 
was  with  great  difficulty  he  prevented 
his  plants  from  being  frozen  Monday 
night.  Mr.  Kuechenmeister  uses  gas  in 
his  boilers,  and  by  keeping  the  furnace 
going  was  able  to  prevent  much  dam- 
age. He  was  insured  in  the  Florists' 
Hail  Association. 

The  greenhouse  of  Charles  P.  Mueller, 
1819  East  Ninth  street,  was  also  dam- 
aged by  the  hail  storm. 


BooxviLLE,  Ind. — Mrs.  Joe  Hudspeth 
says  the  continued  cold  weather  through 
April  has  ruined  fruit  prospects  here, 
and  retarded  gardens  and  flowers.  The 
coal  man  is  the  most  popular  man  now. 
The  ice  man  is  not  in  it.

HOT  WATER  IN  LONG  HOUSE. 

Will  you  kindly  advise  me  as  to  the 
size  and  horse-power  of  a  horizontal 
boiler,  for  hot  Avater,  that  would  be  re- 
quired to  heat  an  even-span  house,  30x 
242  feet;  sides  of  house  twenty-two 
inches  high;  double  boards;  eleven  feet 
to  ridge?  How  many  runs  of  4-inch 
cast-iron  pipe  will  be  required  to  heat 
to  55  degrees  in  zero  weather,  New  Jer- 
sey climate?  Would  one  flow  and  one 
return  on  each  side  keep  up  a  night 
temperature  of  50  to  55  degrees?  What 
would  be  the  proper  rise  of  the  4-inch 
pipe  in  the  242  feet,  from  the  boiler  to 
the  far  end?  How  deep  should  I  dig 
the  boiler  pit  for  hot  water  heating?  I 
mention  the  4-inch  cast-iron  pipe,  as  I 
have  it  on  hand.  The  house  is  for  grow- 
ing lettuce.  F.  W.  V. 


It  would  not  be  advisable  to  attempt 
to  heat  the  house  with  hot  water  after 
the  plan  indicated,  as  the  lines  of  pipe 
would  be  too  long  for  effective  service. 
If  the  boiler  could  be  placed  in  a  pit 
about  midway  and  at  one  side  of  the 
house,  a  hot  water  system  would  be  sat- 
isfactory, as  the  pipes  could  then  be  run 
in  both  directions.  Three  flows  and  six 
returns  will  be  required,  or  nine  4-inch 
pipes  throughout  the  length  of  the  house, 
exclusive  of  headers  and  connections. 

A  twelve  horse-power  boiler  will  be 
required,  but  a  sixteen  horse-power  would 
be  more  economical  to  operate.  The  top 
of  the  boiler  should  be  at  least  eighteen 
inches  below  the  lowest  part  of  the  heat- 
ing system  in  the  house.  The  highest 
point  should  be  above  the  boiler  and  the 
pipes  should  have  a  uniform  grade  and 
fall  toward  the  lower  or  return  part  of 
the  boiler.  L.  C.  C. 


STEAM  FOR  THREE  HOUSES. 

We  are  planning  three  connected 
houses,  each  23x100  feet,  running  north 
and  south.  The  side  walls  are  to  be 
six  feet  high,  with  twenty-four  inches 
of  glass  in  the  outside  walls,  and  with  a 
shed  across  the  north  end.  The  boiler 
room  will  be  at  the  northwest  corner,  or 
at  the  west  end  of  the  shed.  We  wish 
to  heat  with  steam.  The  boiler  will  be 
on  top  of  the  ground,  with  a  steam  trap 
to  return  the  condensation.  We  «xpect 
to  use  1-inch  pipe  in  the  coils.  The 
greenhouses  are  to  have  solid  beds,  with 
walks  next  to  the  side  walls.  How 
many  runs  of  pipe  will  be  needed  to 
give  the  right  temperature  for  roses 
and  carnations?  The  outside  tempera- 
ture seldom  falls  to  zero,  though  on  rare 
occasions  it  drops  to  10  degrees  below 
zero.  What  size  of  flows  should  be 
used  in  each  house?  Should  all  the  re- 
turns be  placed  on  the  side  walls,  or 
should  some  come  back  through  the  cen- 
ter of  the  house?  How  large  should  the 
main  be  in  the  potting  shed  where  it 
branches  for  the  houses?  How  should 
the  return  main  be  handled?  Shall  we 
lay  it  across  the  ends  of  the  houses  and 
drop  each  coil  into  it,  and  if  so,  what 
should  be  the  size  of  the  main  return? 

W.  H. 


The  flow  header  in  the  potting  shed 
should  be  4-inch  from  the  boiler  to 
where  the  flow  to  house  No.  1  is  taken 
off;  the  remainder  of  the  distance  the 
flow  should  be  3-inch.     One  2-inch  over-

TVIN  QTIES. 


The  Market 


The  bad  weather  the  latter  part  of 
last  week  put  a  damper  on  what  prom- 
ised to  be  a  good  business.  Snow  and 
rain  kept  the  buyers  at  home  and  also 
prevented  any  planting  of  shrubbery 
and  trees,  which  had  been  going  on  quite 
actively.  Cut  flower  business,  with  the 
exception  of  funeral  work,  has  been 
quiet.  Consequently  considerable  stock 
has  accumulated,  which  has  had  a  tend- 
ency to  lower  the  market,  and  some  nice 
stock,  especially  in  roses,  has  been  closed 
out  at  low  prices.  Carnations  are  hold- 
ing their  own.  Nearly  all  are  doing 
something  in  the  nursery  line.  There 
appears  to  be  an  unusually  heavy  de- 
mand for  ornamental  stock. 

A  heavy  increase  in  the  quantity  of 
bedding  stock  grown  is  noticeable,  and 
the  stock  appears  to  be  farther  advanced 
and  will  undoubtedly  be  in  better  con- 
dition when  needed.  Already  numerous 
orders  for  plants  have  been  booked.  The 
city  appropriation  in  St.  Paul  for  the 
decoration  of  graves  on  Decoration  day 
has  been  cut  to  a  very  small  figure, 
which  means  that  the  citizens  individu- 
ally will  be  compelled  to  spend  more.

business  and  a  heavy  demand  for  orna- 
mental trees  and  shrubs. 

L.  L,  May  &  Co.  report  funeral  work 
good.  The  retail  seed  business  is  on  in 
full  blast,  which  keeps  their  retail  de- 
partment crowded  almost  every  day. 
They  have  made  some  heavy  shipments 
6f  nufse^^•"  stock,  the  largest  single  order 
amounting  to  $3,000.  Mr.  May  has  pur- 
chased a  new  Packard  automobile  and 
with  it  can  go  to  the  Mayfield  Nurseries 
in  fifty  minutes. 

A.  W.  Lemke,  successor  to  Colberg  & 
Lemke,  reports  business  quite  satisfac- 
tory, ^liss  Benson,  formerly  employed 
by  him,  is  now  with  Holm  &  Olson. 

E.  F.  Lemke  continues  to  keep  up  an 
attracti\-e  display  of  flowering  plants; 
the  sale  has  been  slow  on  them  as  yet.

WE  SAY 

STOP  putting  your 
boilers  in  a  pit,  for  with 
a  Morehead   Steam 

Trap  it  is  not  neces- 
sary, as  it  will  return 
the  water  to  the  boilers 
whether  located  above 
or  below  coils. 

LOOK  and  you  can  see  the  Morehead  operate,  as  all  the  moving 
parts  are  on  the  outside— no  interior  floats  or  buckets  to 
collapse  or  stick. 

LISTEN  and  you  can  hear  it  tilt— proof  positive  of  its  perfect 
operation.  Let  us  send  a  trap  on  .30  days'  trial — our  trap  will 
keep  the  heating  pipes  free  from  condensation,  and  will  help 
you  grow  better  flowers.

DETROIT. 

The  Market* 

The  unseasonable  weather  is  being  felt 
in  all  lines  of  business,  the  florists '  not 
excepted.  There  was  a  decided  lull  in 
business  last  week.  Eoses  are  about 
equal  to  the  demand.  Carnations  are  ar- 
riving in  fairly  large  shipments,  the 
quality  is  good  and  the  price  ranges 
from  2  cents  to  3  cents.  Sweet  peas 
are  arriving  in  large  quantities,  but 
hardly  enough  to  equal  the  demand.  They 
bring  from  50  cents  to  75  cents  per  hun- 
dred. Ferns  are  of  a  better  grade  and 
in  larger  supply  than  for  some  time. 
The  supply  of  sphagnum  has  about  given 
out  in  Detroit,  bringing  the  price  per 
bale  up  to  $2. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Detroit  Cut  Flower  Supply  House 
is  handling  some  fine  sweet  peas. 

On  the  night  of  May  2  about  200  ice 
wagon  drivers  went  on  a  strike  for  a  raise 
in  wages  from  $17.50  per  week  to  $19.50. 
The  dealers  offered  them  a  raise  of  $1 
per  week  during  the  summer  months. 
This  they  refused,  also  refusing  to  arbi- 
trate the  question.  Friday  the  dealers 
called  for  a  general  lockout  of  about 
500  drivers.  No  ice  is  being  delivered, 
but  consumers  sending  to  the  ice-houses 
for  ice  have  not  been  molested  by  the 
strikers.  An  early  adjustment  of  the 
trouble   is  expected. 

Norman  Sullivan  went  to  Toledo  ^lay 
3  with  the  Knights  of  Columbus  bowling 
team. 

David  Byer  has  accepted  a  position 
with   the   Wavne   hotel    for   the   summer. 

H.S. 


Des  Moixes,  Ia. — May  1  was  the  oc- 
casion for  a  general  cleaning  up  in  this 
city  and  nearly  all  florists  and  dealers 
in  articles  used  in  outdoor  work  made 
special  prices  for  the  day. 

Freeport,  III. — In  John  Bauscher's 
store,  on  the  evening  of  April  26,  while 
Miss  Bauscher  was  in  the  act  of  blacking 
the  hot  stove,  the  plate  of  blacking  ex- 
ploded and  set  fire  to  the  floor  and  coun- 
ter. The  blaze  was  extinguished,  how- 
ever, before  it  did  much  damage.

PURE  BONE  MEAL 

The  brand  we  are  BellinK  has  no  superior.  It  is  an  absolutely 
uniform  grade  of  pure  bone,  guaranteed  free  from  acids,  and  is 
gold  at  as  low  rates  as  many  inferior  brands*,  which  cannot  be  used

HUNT'S  PURE  BONE  WIMUR 

This  is  identical  with  our  Pure  Bone 
Meal,  except  it  is  ground  to  a  very

valuable  for  use  in  liquid  form  or  for

BLOOD  AND  BONK 

Preferred  by  many  of  our  best  and  largest  growers  owing  to 
its  great  percentage  of  ammonia  and  available  phosphate,  which 
makes  it  quick  acting. 

It  is  a  mixtur£  of  pure  tankage  or  blood  and  the  best  grade  of 


Bone  Meal  in  proportions  to  stimulate  root  action  and  bring  out  the 
best  color  in  the  blooms.

PULVERIZED  SHEEP  MANURE 

One  of  the  most  effective  of  ferti- 
lizers and  largely  used  by  the  best 
growers,  both  as  a  top  dressing  and 
in  the  manure  tanks.  The  raw  mater- 
ial for  Hunt's  Sheep  Manure  is  the 
droppings  taken  from  solid  floor  sheep 
corrals.  Ordinary  manures  are 
largely  shoveled  up  from  the  ground 
and  contain  a  large  proportion  of  soil 
for  which  you  pay,  but  from  which 
you  get  nothing  except  possibly  weed

PULVERIZED  SHEEP  MANURE 

One  of  the  most  elVective  of  ferti- 
lizers and  largely  used  by  the  best 
growers,  both  as  a  top  dressing  ami 
in  the  manure  tanks.  The  raw  mater 
ial  for  Hunt's  Sheep  Manure  is  the 
droppings  taken  from  solid  flof)r  sheeii 
corrals.  Ordinary  manures  are 
largely  shoveled  up  from  the  ground 
and  contain  a  large  proportion  of  soil 
for  which  you  pay,  but  from  which 
you  uet  nothing  except  possibly  weed 
seed.  A  trial  order  will  convince  the 
most  skeptical  of  the  superiority  ni 
our  brand.

FREMONT,  NEB. 

On  the  morning  of  May  3  an  inch  of 
snow  fell  here  and  the  mercury  stood  at 
5  degrees  below  freezing  point.  It  is 
believed  that  such  a  temperature  must 
ha^•e  damaged  any  fruit  Avhich  had  hith- 
erto escaped   unharmed. 

Our  carnation  stock  Avas  planted  at  the 
usual  time,  about  April  20,  and  every 
plant  in  the  field  is  killed  nearly  to  the 
ground.  And  they  were  from  3-inch  pots 
and  well  hardened  in  a  eoldframe  be- 
fore planting  out.  They  seem  to  be 
breaking  nicely  from  the  base  of  the 
stems,  however,  and  we  think  that  they 
will  all  come  along.  Peonies  are  away 
behind  and  will  hardly  make  it  by  Dec- 
oration day.  Pansy  planting  by  our  cus- 
tomers, which  should  be  well  under  way, 
has  not  begun.  The  small  fruit  crop 
in  this  locality  is  practically  all  ruined. 
Business  has  been  good  and  is  now 
ahead  of  last  season.  "When  the  weather 
reforms  we  expect  to  have  all  that  we 
can  possibly  handle,  as  people  are  get- 
ting impatient  to  plant  their  flower  beds 
and  we  have  a  grand  stock  of  bedding 
stuff  ready  for  them. 

We  expect  to  begin  the  building  of  a 
house  for  general  stock  June  1.  The 
house  will  be  18x120,  of  Moninger  ma- 
terial. We  have  just  installed  a  gaso- 
line engine  for  running  a  rotary  pump, 
with  a  capacity  of  a  thousand  gallons 
an  hour,  which,  combined  with  the  ele- 
vated tank  pressure,  enables  us  to  run 
three  lines  of  hose  at  the  same  time,  if 
needed. 

Garden  truck  is  as  good  as  could  be 
expected,  weather  considered.  We  devote 
200  sashes  and  seventeen  acres  of  land 
to  this  and  find  it  profitable.  We*  ship 
hundreds  of  bushels  of  tomatoes  to  the 
north  and  west  during  the  summer.

Company  of  this  city  was  sold  at  auc- 
tion, April  30,  to  George  H.  Chapman  of 
this  city  for  $2,620.  Mr.  Chapman 
started  the  business  soon  after  Mr.  Man- 
ley  was  declared  a  bankrupt.  A  stock 
company  has  been  organized  for  the 
purpose  of  erecting  a  suitable  building 
for  Mr.  Chapman,  to  be  placed  on  the 
land  bought  from  the  St.  John  Table 
Company  of  Cadillac,  and  will  have  a 
side  track  from  the  Grand  Trunk  rail- 
road. Work  was  begun  on  the  building 
April  29  and  is  to  be  completed  as  soon 
as  possible. 

ORANGE,  N.  J. 

The  regular  monthly  meeting  and  flo- 
ral display  of  the  New  Jersey  Floricul- 
tural  Society  took  place  May  3,  with 
John  White,  Jr.,  of  Elizabeth,  as  essay- 
ist and  "Landscape  Gardening"  for  the 
topic.  Among  the  exhibitors  of  orchids 
were  the  following:  Julius  Roehrs  Co., 
of  Rutherford,  Cattleya  Mossia?,  C.  Mar- 
tinelli,  C.  Mendellii  and  Lselia  purpu- 
rata;  Joseph  A.  Manaa,  of  West  Or- 
ange, Cypripedium  Morgania;,  a  hybrid 
of  C.  Stonei  x  C.  superbiens,  and  Cat- 
tleya William  Murray,  a  hybrid  of  C. 
Lawreneeana  x  C.  Mendellii,  a  fine  flower 
never  before  exhibited  in  this  country, 
and  awarded  a  first-class  certificate*  Be- 
sides the  usual  array  from  private  es- 
tates, there  were  also  a  number  of  plates 
of  cut  pansy  blooms  from  John  White, 
of  Elizabeth,  of  his  own  strains;  those 
of  purple  and  white,  with  radiating  pen- 
ciled lines  from  the  eye,  attracted  par- 
ticular  attention.  J.  B.  D. 


PEONY-FLOWERED  DAHLIAS. 

Although  the  peony-flowered  dahlias, 
which  originated  in  Germany  a  few  years 
since,  are  not  regarded  with  much  favor 
by  a  considerable  number  of  dahlia  fan- 
ciers, they  are,  by  reason  of  their  dis- 
tinct character  and  effectiveness,  steadily 
becoming  popular  with  owners  of  gar- 
dens who  base  their  estimate  of  these 
flowers  upon  their  decorative  value.  The 
varieties  at  present  in  commerce  are 
somewhat  too  robust  in  growth  for  gar- 
dens of  limited  dimensions,  and  the  flow- 
ers of  some  lack  the  refinement  character- 
istic of  the  show  and  fancy  varieties. 
Yet  their  distinctness,  and  their  attract- 
iveness   when    grown    under    conditions

have  grown  them  somewhat  largely  from

considerable  merit  for  garden  decoration. 
They  have  not  only  grown  them  in  their 
nurseries  for  the  purpose  of  enabling 
visitors  to  become  acquainted  with  them, 
but  last  year  they  exhibited  them  some-

collection  of  cut  blooms  to  several  of  the 
meetings  of  the  Royal  Horticultural  So-

but  little  for  florists'  ideals.  Messrs. 
Hobbies  have  not  only  grown  the  peony- 
flowered  dahlias,  but  they  have  turned 
their  attention  to  their  further  develop- 
ment, and  have  raised  some  promising 
varieties.  One  of  these,  Nicholas  II,  has 
large,  pure  white  blooms,  with  broad 
florets,  which  are  more  regularly  arranged 
than  are  those  of  the  flowers  of  the  vari- 
eties introduced  .from  Germany.  The  va- 
riety is  very  free  in  blooming  and  the 
horticultural  press  in  England  says  it  is 
of  much  interest  as  indicating  the  possi- 
bilities of  this  new  type.

Probably  All  Greenhouses  Are  Some  Good 

but  is  "some  good"  good  enough  for  you?  That's  the  point.  If  you  are  an  experimentalist,  a  man  who  tries  this 
thing  today,  and  another  thing  tomorrow,  then  any  old  construction  will  do;  but  if  you  are  in  earnest  and  have 
your  eyes  open  for  the  thing  that  saves  you  time,  money  and  no  end  of  annoyance— then  you  will  be  satisfied 
with  nothing  but  one  of  our  Iron  Frame  Houses.  You'll  have  a  house  that's  as  good  as  a  fifty  years'  insurance 
against  repairs,  and  that  will  grow  more  plants  and  of  better  quality.    That's  why  we  say  write— and  write  today.

IF  WHAT  WE  CLAIM  IS  TRUE,

every  time  you  put  off  ordering  our  material  for  your  greenhouses. 
You  are  losing  on  the  quantity  of  your  crops  and  on  the  quality  of 
your  stock.  One  of  our  houses  will  put  dollars  in  your  pocketbook  that 
would  have  been  somewhere  else— that  would  have  been  spent  on 
repairs  and  patching.  We  believe  in  furnishing  material  that  gives 
satisfaction— that's  why  our  business  gets  larger  every  year  and  the 
same  men  keep  coming  back  for  the  next  house.  Whether  you  build 
one  house  or  a  hundred,  it  will  pay  you  to  use  our  material  and  our 
construction.

A  MONEY-MAKING  PROPOSITION 

There  isn't  one  of  you  but 
agrees  that  our  galvanized  ice 
clearing  eave  plate  and  sash- 
bar  clasp  combination  is  one 
of  the  most  practical  moves 
ever  made  toward  increasing 
the  life  and  strength  of  green- 
house construction.  You 
know,  to  your  sorrow,  that  the 
wooden  plate  is  a  short-lived 
affair — that  the  method  of 
fastening  the  bars  to  the  wood- 
en plate  by  toeing  of  the  nails, 
lacks  rigidity,  besides  making 
a  joint  that's  bound  to  rot  out 
in  a  short  time,  in  spite  of 
white  lead,  paint  or  whatever 
you  may  do.  Our  ice  clearing 
eave  plate  is  sold  (with  or 
without  cypress  facia)  with 
sashbar  clasps  attached  for 
any  space  of  glass.  It's  gal- 
vanized in  our  own  plant  and 
drilled  and  fitted  ready  to 
fasten  up.  It  may  cost  more  than  the  wooden  plate,  but  you  save  in  erecting  time — are  sure  of  accu- 
rate spacing  of  bars — know  your  house  will  be  tremendously  strengthened — that  the  eave  line  will  be 
the  last,  instead  of  the  first  thing  to  go.  Send  for  prices.  Find^out  what  it  costs  to  keep  repair 
costs  down.

Tht're  isn't  one  of  you  l»ut 
agrees  that  our  galvanized  ice 
clearing  eave  plate  and  sasli-

of  the  most  pra(;tital  niove^

the  life  and  strength  of  green- 
house con-truction.  Vou 
know,  to  your  sorrow,  that  the 
wooden  plate  is  a  short-lived 
alTair— that  the  niethml  of

FLORIST. 


THE  SAD  HOUR. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  re- 
produced from  a  photograph  of  a  rather 
large  design  made  by  A.  Londenberg  & 
Son,  Valparaiso,  Ind.  The  flowers  used 
are  Maids,  Brides,  sweet  peas,  a  few 
lilies  and  some  smilax  and  asparagus. 
To  realize  the  full  significance  of  the 
piece  it  is  necessary  to  see  the  lettering 
at  the  base,  which  does  not  show  satis- 
factorily in  the  illustration.  Inscribed 
there  are  the  words,  ' '  The  sad  hour. ' ' 


MEMORIAL  DAY  ADVERTISING. 

There  is  certainly  a  large  volume  of 
business  done  on  and  for  May  30,  but 
1  believe  it  can  be  further  increased,  es- 
pecially by  the  florists  in  the  medium- 
sized  and  smaller  cities  and  towns. 

In  the  first  place,  I  noticed  there  were 
quite  a  few  flowers  sent  in  from  people 
residing  at  a  distance  but  having  rela- 
tives buried  in  our  cemetery,  and  the 
thought  occurred  to  me,  Why^  not  reach 
out  for  some  of  this  trade?  I  was  al- 
most certain  that  if  those  people  were 
informed  in  time  that  good,  fresh  flow- 
ers could  be  had  of  the  local  florist  they 
would  perhaps  send  their  money  and 
orders  to  him,  or  to  some  of  their  friends 
and  have  the  flowers  purchased  here,  in- 
stead of  sending  them  a  long  distance 
and  having  them  in  poor  condition  upon 
their  arrival.  You  will  find  persons  liv- 
ing at  a  distance  who  would  be  glad 
to  have  flowers  placed  on  their  loved 
ones '  graves  if  they  only  knew  of  some 
way  it  could  be  accomplished,  not  hav- 
ing any  one  near  whom  they  would  like 
to  ask  to  do  it. 

Accordingly,  I  had  the  following  cir- 
cular printed — and  let  me  say  here:  Get 
your  printer  to  get  it  up  in  the  best  of 
style  and  print  it  on  first  quality  paper: 

We  will  be  In  position  to  flU  orders  for  flow- 
«r8,  especially  carnations  and  roses,  perhaps  a 
few  lilies;  also  designs  of  all  kinds,  Intrusted 
to  us  for  May  30,  provided  we  receive  the  order 
at  least  one  week  In  advance.  If  received  much 
later  than  that,  we  cannot  guarantee  to  'fill 
them,  but  will  do  the  best  we  can. 

We  would  especially  call  the  attention  of 
those  living  out  of  town,  and  respectfully  solicit 
your  orders;  will  guarantee  to  fill  them  for  you 
and  have  the  flowers  placed  on  any  lot  In 
Oakdale  cemetery  you  may  wish,  Just  the  same 
as  If  you  were  here  in  person. 

I  will  see  to  It  personally  that  your  wishes 
are  fulfilled,  or  should  you  have  relatives  or  par- 
ticular friends  whom  you  would  wish  to  take 
the  flowers  to  the  cemetery  for  you,  you  can 
have  them  call  for  them  on  the  way  down,  and 
Inrtruct  us  whom  we  shall  deliver  to. 

Correspondence  solicited.     Write  for  prices. 

Please  remember,  prices  on  (lowers  vary  ac- 
cording to  the  supply,  but  we  will  give  you  full 
value  for  all  money  sent  us. 

The  first  circulars  printed  did  not  give 
prices,  but  later  ones  have  always  had 
prices  printed  on  them  and  I  believe  it 
much  the  better  way. 

These  circulars  were  sent  out  ten  days 
to  two  weeks  beforehand,  to  the  names 
gathered  up.  Some  of  the  names  I  got 
from  friends,  and  I  found  it  advisable 
to  get  on  the  good  side  of  the  secretary 
of  the  cemetery  association,  from  whom 
you  can  obtain  all  the  names  of  non-resi- 
<]ent    lot  owners.      Sen<l    the    circular    to 


everyone  in  your  own  town  and   in  the 
surrounding  country. 

People  forget;  put  them  in  mind  ten 
days  or  two  weeks  beforehand  that  they 
will  need  flowers.  In  this  way  you  will 
get  a  lot  of  advance  orders,  which  will 
be  a  great  help  in  knowing  about  what 
you  will  need.  The  first  year  your  circu- 
lars may  not  seem   to  have  done  much, 


BUSINESS  IDEAS. 

The  thoughtful  retail  florist  will  find 
an  infinite  variety  of  ways  in  which  he 
can  suggest  to  his  customers  the  use  of 
flowers  in  a  way  that  will  be  profitable 
to  the  seller.  Here  are  a  few  of  the 
things  which  may  be  suggested  to  flower 
buyers  and  the  public  and  which  will 
widen  the  use  of  flowers: 

Nativity  baskets;  a  high-handled 
basket  filled  with  flowers  for  the  mother, 
a  small  basket  suspended  from  the  handle 
of  the  larger  one,  filled  with  flowers  for 
the  child. 

The  use  of  flowers  instead  of  crape 
upon  the  door  of  a  house  of  bereave- 
ment. This  usually  is  a  flat  bunch  made 
on  a  pair  of  cycas  leaves,  with  white  or 
light  flowers,  the  stems  tied  with  broad 
white  ribbon. 

Birthday  bouquets,  sent  by  thoughtful

but  you   will   find  after  the  second  year 
a  large  increase — at  least  I  did.

ladies,  upon  their  anniversaries.  This 
fashion  is  capable  of  greater  develop- 
ment than  almost  any  other,  for  we  have

is  rapidly  increasing.  It  is  usually  the 
duty  of  the  undertaker  to  provide  these, 
and  the  leading  undertakers  in  the  cities 
no  longer  think  it  possible  to  do  satis- 
factory work  without  using  a  load  or 
more  of  palms  and  ferns.  Where  this 
fashion  has  not  been  started,  many 
ways  will  suggest  themselves  for  putting 
it  in  practice.  Tlie  florist  could  well 
afford  to  donate  the  use  of  some  plants 
to  families  that  have  been  good  custom- 
ers and  in  this  way  get  other  people  to 
call  upon  him  for  similar  services. 

The  delivery  of  flowers  on  telegraph 
orders  is  capable  of  great  development. 
Print  a  neat  card  reading  something  like 
this :  '  *  We  have  correspondents  every- 
where and  can  deliver  flowers  in  any  city 
at  a  few  hours'  notice."  Put  this  in 
every  package  you  deliver  to  customers, 
but  of  course  you  cannot  put  it  in  those 
sent  to  others  than  the  buyers.  As  time 
passes  the  use  of  these  cards  will  estab- 
lish a  steady  and  profitable  business. 


NEW  FERN  DISHES. 

There  is  a  growing  realization  among 
retail  florists  that  a  stock  of  considerable 
variety  in  the  way  of  fern  dishes,  etc., 
adds  to  the  volume  of  trade.  The  old- 
fashioned  fern  dish,  which  comes  back 
time  after  time  to  be  refilled,  is  so  well 
known  and  has  been  in  use  so  many  years 


rists  find  it  a  profitable  side  line  to  carry 
a  considerable  stock  of  pottery  of  many 
kinds. 

While  there  is  a  great  variety  possible 
in  the  selection  of  a  stock  of  these  aids 
to  the  sale  of  plants,  two  of  the  best 
sellers  are  illustrated  in  this  issue.  Th« 
brass  receptacles  are  usually  more  ex- 
pensive than  is  pottery,  but  they  are 
having  a  good  run  wherever  they  are 
shown.  They  may  be  filled  with  almost 
any  material,  due  care  being  exercised 
that  the  plant  is  not  so  large  as  to  be 
out  of  proportion  to  the  size  of  the  re- 
ceptacle. In  the  accompanying  illustra- 
tions the  same  receptacle  is  shown  filled 
in  one  case  with  small  plants  of  Aspara- 
gus plumosus  and  in  the  other  with  pri- 
mulas. They  have  recently  been  filled 
with  violet  plants,  making  an  attractive 
combination.  The  brazen  ware  comes  in 
dozens  of  shapes  and  sizes,  and  may  be 
had  in  large  pieces  if  one  has  a  trade 
that  makes  them  useful. 

Possibly  the  best  selling  single  item  in 
the  line  of  small  earthenware  is  the  un- 
glazed  green  jar  shown  in  the  other  illus- 
tration. This  is  made  in  many  sizes  and 
the  color  is  such  that  it  combines  attract- 
ively with  anything  in  the  way  of  small 
ferns,  etc.  Larger  sizes  are  used  for 
planting  boxwood  or  evergreens,  but  they 
do  not  go  well  with  flowering  plants.  The 
shape  shown  is  the  one  which  sells  most 
largely,  but   several  manufacturers   now

that  many  people  are  quick  to  buy  some- 
thing different  for  the  same  purpose.  All 
the  leading  florists'  supply  bouses  offer 
a  considerable  range  of  selection  in  these 
articles  and  many  of  the  pottery  manu- 
facturers are  now  canvassing  the  florists ' 
trade,  so  large  has  the  sale  for  these  ar- 
ticles become.     Indeed,  many  retail  flo- 


are  making  them  in  a  great  variety  of 
styles,  including  the  bowls,  vases  and 
even  pitchers,  etc.  Every  retail  florist 
who  has  not  tried  this  class  of  ware 
should  lay  in  a  small  stock.  There  not 
only  will  be  a  profit  in  selling  it,  but  it 
will  help  the  sale  of  plants  to  a  surpris- 
ing exteht. 


THE  NATIONAL  FLOWER  SHOW. 

[A  paper  by  S.  S.  Skldelsky,  of  Philadelphia 
read  before  the   New   York   Florists'   Club,   Mav 
13,  1907.]  ^ 

It  was  very  kind  of  your  Florists' 
Club,  represented  by  the  chairman  of 
its  essay  committee,  Mr.  Wallace,  to  in- 
vite me  to  address  you  on  a  subject  that, 
it  seems  to  me,  is  of  absorbing  interest, 
not  only  to  the  members  of  our  craft, 
who  have  the  welfare  of  horticulture  at 
heart,  but  to  every  amateur,  to  every 
private  gardener,  to  every  man  and 
woman  throughout  the  land,  whose  love 
for  the  beautiful  and  the  ornamental  in 
nature  can  neither  be  gainsaid  nor 
ignored. 

The  proposed  national  or  international 
flower  show,  to  be  held  at  Chicago  dur- 
ing the  month  of  November,  1908,  will 
unquestionably  prove  an  epoch-making 
event  in  the  history  of  horticulture. 

And  right  here  the  thought  occurs  to 
me,  that,  unless  we  put  forth  our  best 
efforts  and  our  utmost  energies,  bearing 
in  mind  that  upon  the  success  or  failure 
of  this  first  attempt  hinges  the  future 
of  an  industry  involving  millions  of  dol- 
lars; unless  we  stand  shoulder  to 
shoulder  and  work  for  the  common  good 
of  all,  each  according  to  his  means  and 
might;  unless  we  do  this,  I  say,  we  shall 
have  no  right  to  enter  the  ranks  of  pro- 
gressive business  men. 

It  was  nearly  two  years  ago,  at  Wash- 
ington, that  E.  G.  Hill,  "the  sage"  of 
Bichmond,  Ind.,  first  broached  the  sub- 
ject of  a  national  flower  show.  His  ob- 
servations on  the  European  continent, 
where  such  shows  are  held  annually  un- 
der the  auspices  of  royal  and  national 
horticultural  societies — as  in  England 
and  France,  for  example — led  him  to 
believe  that  an  enterprise  of  this  sort, 
undertaken  by  the  Society  of  American 
Florists  and  given  under  the  auspices  of 
the  American  sovereigns — the  people — 
could  not  help  but  prove  a  success. 

And  how,  I  will  ask  in  passing,  could 
it  prove  otherwise? 

Objections  Answered. 

As  a  matter  of  course,  opinions  pro 
and  con  were  freely  expressed  on  all 
sides.  There  were  those  who  predicted 
inevitable  failure,  basing  their  predic- 
tions upon  no  other  reasons  than  such 
as  presented  themselves  to  their  dis- 
torted, pessimistic  imaginations.  "Why, 
indeed,  should  a  national  flower  show  be 
thought  of  at  all?  Why?  Haven't  we 
plenty  of  local  shows  of  all  kinds, ' ' 
they  reasoned,  "that  never  pay?" 

"And  who  would  benefit  by  this  na- 
tional show,  anyway?  Men  who  have 
something  to  sell,  of  course.  It  is  all 
nonsense, ' '  they  concluded,  ' '  and  *  there 
is  nothing  to  it." 

There  were  others,  however,  who  took 
a  broader,  a  much  broader  view  of  the 
situation,  whose  mental  vision  was  in  no 
wise  circumscribed  by  petty  jealousies 
or  selfish  motives  of  one  sort  or  another, 
who  could  see  at  a  glance  the  great  pos- 
sibilities for  the  advancement  of  hor- 
ticulture, who  could  realize  the  inesti- 
mable opportunities  and  advantages  that 
would  accrue  to  our  interests,  who,  in 
brief,  took  a  retrospective  view  of  hor- 
ticulture, comparing  the  present  with  the 
past  and  drawing  their  conclusions  as  to 
the  future.  Kindled  by  an  enthusiasm 
well  worthy  of  the  cause,  there  was  soon 
formed  a  small  circle  of  men,  who  were, 
so  to  speak,  carried  away  by  the  idea, 
and  a  subscription  list  for  the  necessary 
premium    guarantee    fund    was    started.

Brass  Receptacles  That  Take  the  Place  of  the  Every-day  Sort  of  Ferneries. 


Something  like  $4,000  was  subscribed 
there  and  then.  Thus  the  idea  of  a  na- 
tional flower  show — the  ficst  show  of 
the  kind  ever  attempted  upon  the  Amer- 
ican continent — bids  fair  to  become  a 
successful  reality. 

I  shall  not  attempt  to  portray  to  you 
the  grandeur  of  the  show  itself  or  the 
magnificent  hall — the  Coliseum — where 
it  is  to  be  held.  Such  is  not  the  object 
of  this  brief  paper;  nor,  indeed,  am  I 
equipped  to  go  into  any  details  of  the 
sort. 

That  American  enterprise,  inspired  by 
the  go-ahead  spirit  characteristic  of  our 
people,  will  triumph  despite  all  obstacles 
and  despite  all  predictions  to  the  con- 
trary, is  a  foregone  conclusion  with 
many. 

Educational  Purpose. 

The  national  flower  show,  it  may  be 
depended  upon,  will  not  only  come  to 
pass,  but,  like  any  other  great  work  ever 
attempted  by  public-spirited  men  for  the 
benefit  of  a  people  at  large,  it  is  des- 
tined to  fulfill  a  mission;  it  aims  to 
educate  our  people,  to  enthuse  them,  to 
inspire  them  with  a  desire  for  all  that 
is  beautiful  in  nature,  to  show  them  Dy 
means  of  an  object  lesson  how  things 
can  be  done,  how  the  humble  garden  and 
the  humble  cottage  of  the  workingman 
can  be  made  as  attractive  in  their  way 
as  the  magnificent  grounds  surrounding 
the  stately  mansion  of  the  millionaire. 
What  the  progressive  and  enterprising 
florist  has  attempted  and  has  carried  out 
in  a  small  way  in  his  own  town,  what 
public-spirited  individuals  have  accom- 
plished by  way  of  spreading  the  idea  of 
horticulture  in  their  own  communities, 
the  national  flower  show  aims  to  do  on 
a  large  scale.  We  are  all  familiar,  more> 
or  less,  with  the  history  of  the  National 


Cash  Register  Co 's.  institution  at  Day- 
ton, Ohio.  We  know  that  Mr.  Patterson, 
the  head  of  that  model  institution,  has 
worked  long  and  hard  to  transform  a 
wilderness  into  a  garden  spot.  We  have 
been  told  how  rowdyism,  that  took  pleas- 
ure in  wanton  destruction  of  flower  beds 
and  lawns,  was  converted  in  the  end  to 
the  gospel  of  ornamental  horticulture, 
how  unsightly  cottages  in  the  imme- 
diate vicinity  of  that  institution  were 
transformed  into  beautiful  little  palaces, 
how  tin  cans  and  rubbish  heaps  of  all 
sorts  disappeared,  flower  beds  and 
shrubbery  taking  their  place.  To  the 
moralist,  such  a  transformation  bears 
another  lesson,  for  who  will  question 
the  benign  and  wholesome  influence  of 
l>eautiful  surroundings  upon  the  mind 
and  character  of  the  child,  the  youth — 
our    future    law-maker    or    law-breaker? 

He  was  a  wise  man  indeed,  who  said, 
' '  Tell  me  your  company  and  I  will  tell 
you  who  you  are."  To  paraphrase  this 
saying,  we  may  put  it  thus:  "Show  me 
your  surroundings  and  I  will  define  your 
character  and  social  standing  in  your 
community. ' ' 

After  all  we  are  but  creatures  of  cir- 
cumstances. To  the  one  who  rises  from 
amid  squalid  and  filthy  surroundings 
and  forces  his  way  through  into  a  world 
of  light,  there  are  hundreds  who  suc- 
cumb to  the  darkness  and  wretchedness 
of  the  nether  regions. 

If  I  remember  right,  it  was  the  late 
Benjamin  Harrison,  who,  in  a  speech  at 
one  of  the  Indianapolis  chrysanthemum 
shows,  remarked  that  "the  man  who 
loves  flowers  was  never  known  to  abuse 
his  wife,"  or  something  to  that  effect. 

G)mmercial  Results. 

But,  to  return  to  the  subject,  stripped 
of    its   moral    element.      Viewed    in    the 


light  of  pure  utilitarianism  or  commer- 
cialism, a  national  flower  shotv,  such  as 
it  is  intended  to  hold  at  Chicago,  must 
as  a  matter  of  course  bear  good  fruit. 

We  need  but  recall  the  early  strug- 
gles of  the  florists  of  a  generation  or 
two  ago,  men  still  living  in  our  midst — 
their  trials  and  tribulations  long  before 
a  society  of  American  florists  and  or- 
namental horticulturists  sprang  up,  long 
before  a  carnation  society  made  its  ap- 
pearance or  a  local  flower  show  of  any 
sort  was  ever  thought  of,  to  arrive  at  the 
conclusion  that  the  progress  we  have 
achieved  was  due  in  a  large  measure, 
not  so  much  to  individual  endeavor  or 
to  individual  enterprise,  as  to  a  combi- 
nation of  efforts,  having  for  its  aim  the 
benefit  of  each,  individually,  and  of  all 
as  a  body. 

Whatever  arguments  one  may  advance 
in  favor  of  that  hackneyed  injunction, 
"Attend  to  your  own  business,"  etc.; 
whatever  success  one  may  point  to  as  the 
result  of  strict  attention  to  one 's  own 
affairs,  it  is  a  fact  beyond  dispute  that 
the  Society  of  Atoerican  Florists  is  re- 
sponsible for  most  of  our  achievements 
in  the  past  and,  if  I  may  venture  a 
prophecy,  for  much  more  that  we  are 
sure  to  accomplish  in  the  future.  'I  will 
go  further  and  say  tha,t  the  Society  of 
American  Florists,  as  a  body  composed 
of  earnest,  energetic,  progressive  and  in- 
telligent men,  is  directly  responsible  for 
the  success  of  the  very  man  who  ' '  can 't 
see  what  good  it  will  do  him  to  join 
such   a  society. ' ' 

What  Good? 

"What  good?"  Let  the  history  of 
our  society  speak  for  itself.  Twenty-five 
years  of  energetic  work  along  progres- 
sive lines  has  brought  about  the  results, 
which  we  see  in  the  greenhouse,  at  the

store,  on  the  highways  and  byways 
throughout  the  land.  Our  improved 
products,  the  evolution  of  the  button 
sized  carnation,  the  measly  rose  and 
chrysanthemum  into  perfect  specimens 
of  their  kind,  our  improved  facilities  for 
marketing  our  products,  our  business 
methods,  etc.,  are  all  due  to  organized 
effort — to  the  Society  of  American 
Florists. 

"What  good?"  I  need  but  cite  the 
recent  victory  scored  by  our  society  be- 
fore the  Interstate  Commerce  Commis- 
sion— a  victory  that  will  compel  the 
United  States  Express  Co.  to  submit  to 
reasonable  rates  and,  incidentally,  will 
save  dollars  to  the  man  who  ' '  can 't  see 
any  good  in  our  society. ' ' 

Verily,  *  *  in  union  there  is  strength, ' ' 
We  all  know  by  experience  what  it 
means  to  give  a  local  flower  show;  we 
know  how  these  flower  shows,  whether 
financial  successes  or  financial  failures, 
have  induced  the  growers  to  vie  with 
•each  other  in  their  efforts  to  show  their 
"best  products;  how  these,  in  turn,  have 
induced  the  dealers  to  handle  the  best 
at  prices  remunerative  to  both  the  grow- 
lers and  themselves;  how,  furthermore, 
the  flower  buying  public  has  learned  to 


this  tremendous  advance  along  progres- 
sive lines  within  but  a  comparatively 
short  space  of  time?  The  answer  is 
easily  given.  The  local  flower  show, 
often  held  under  adverse  and  discourag- 
ing conditions,  has  brought  about  this 
result;  it  has  educated  the  public;  it 
has  brought  the  grower  and  the  dealer 
together;  it  has  induced  the  private 
gardener  and  the  amateur  to  advance  to 
the  front  and  to  improve  upon  past 
achievements. 

Thanks  to  these  shows,  we  have 
ceased  to  dwell  within  our  own  shells,  to 
grope  in  the  dark,  as  it  were,  each  for 
himself.  We  have  learned  by  actual  ex- 
perience the  lesson  of  combination,  or 
' '  community  of  interests, "  if  I  may 
borrow  the  expression  that  has  origi- 
nated somewhere  on  Wall  street. 

Local  and  National  Shows  Compared. 

What  has  been  accomplished,  I  repeat, 
by  the  progressive  florist  in  a  small  way, 
in  his  own  town;  what  the  public-spir- 
ited individuals  have  brought  about  in 
their  own  communities;  what  the  flor- 
ists' clubs  have  achieved  by  means  of 
giving  occasional  flower  shows,  the  pro- 
moters of  the  national  flower  show  aim

discriminate,  to  draw  the  line  between  a 
high  grade  flower  and  the  semblance  of 
one,  not  marketable  at  any  price.  The 
demand  at  all  times,  as  we  all  know,  is 
for  high  grade  stock.  To  the  man  or 
woman,  to  whom  all  flowers  looked  alike 
but  a  few  years  ago,  nothing  Jjut  the 
best  appeals  today.     Whence  this*  change, 


to  accomplish  for  every  florist,  nursery- 
man, gardener  and  amateur,  of  every 
city,  town  and  village,  in  every  state  in 
the  Union. 

It  is  the  aim  and  object  of  the  na- 
tional flower  show  to  be  held  at  Chi- 
cago, not  only  to  bring  forth  the  best 
there    is   in    cultivation,   both    here    and 


abroad,  for  the  inspection  of  "society 
folks,"  but  also  to  inaugurate  a  cam- 
paign of  education  for  the  benefit  of 
our  people  as  a  whole;  to  demonstrate, 
if  such  a  thing  be  possible,  through  the 
public  press  and  by  means  of  circular 
letters,  pamphlets,  etc.,  to  the  great 
mass  of  horny-handed  Americans  the 
beauties  and  wholesome  influences  of 
shrubs,  flower  beds,  lawns  and  trees;  in 
a  word,  to  promote  horticulture  in  all 
its  branches  among  all  the  people. 

The  Future  of  Horticulture. 

How  often  do  we  hear  the  remarks, 
that  *  *  horticulture  in  this  country  is 
still  in  its  infancy,"  that  the  possibili- 
ties for  its  development  are  practically 
unlimited,  that  much  as  we  have  ad- 
vanced during  the  past  decade  or  two, 
the,  future  development  of  horticulture 
bids  fair  to  surpass  our  most  sanguine 
expectations!  If  this  be  true,  as  it  un- 
questionably is,  is  it  not  high  time  that 
we  make  some  effort  to  hasten  the  ap- 
proach of  its  development?  Is  it  not 
within  our  own  power  to  devise  some 
means  and  ways  in  order  to  bring  about 
the  results  desired  more  speedily  and 
within  our  own  time?  Why  wait  until 
Mrs,  Jones'  infant  daughter,  playing 
upon  a  rubbish  heap  in  that  back  yard, 
may  some  day,  when  she  grows  into 
womanhood  and  has  a  home  of  her  own, 
prefer  a  canna  bed  to  a  bed  of  tin  cans? 
Why  not  show  to  Mrs,  Jones  herself 
the  striking  contrast  between  the  two — 
the  beauty  of  the  one  and  the  unsightly, 
ugly  features  of  the  other?  Is  it  not 
within  the  range  of  possibility  that  Mrs. 
Jones  may  turn  the  scales  in  favor  of 
the  flower  bed?  Aside  from  the  fact 
that  the  national  flower  show  is  sure  to 
bring  dollars  and  cents  into  the  pockets 
of  the  very  men  who  have  neither  the 
time  nor  the  patience  for  "such  inno- 
vations," aside  from  the  fact  that  a 
show  of  this  kind  is  sure  to  benefit  our 
people  at  large — for  no  industry,  be  it 
the  cultivation  of  sugar  beets  or  shrub- 
bery, was  ever  known  to  prove  other- 
wise but  beneficial  to  a  community — 
aside  from  these  obvious  facts,  we  must 
not  overlook  the  educational,  esthetic 
and  moral  features  of  such  a  flower 
show,  a  benefit  that  can  neither  be  over- 
estimated, nor  can  it  be  estimated  by 
the  usual  standard  of  dollars  and  cents. 

After  all,  the  future  of  horticulture, 
like  the  future  strength  and  stability  of 
our  beloved  republic,  depends,  not  so 
much  upon  the  favored  few,  able  to 
gratify  their  whims  and  desires,  as  upon 
the  great  mass  of  the  American  people. 

The  future  of  horticulture  hinges  not 
upon  what  is  being  or  will  be  done  at 
Jsiewport,  along  the  Hudson  or  at  Lenox, 
but  upon  the  general  improvement  in  the 
conditions,  environments  and  educational 
standards  of  our  people  throughout  the 
great  American  continent. 

Just  as  soon  as  the  miner  in  the  Penn- 
sylvania coal  regions,  or  the  laborer  in 
the  overcrowded  tenements  in  our  cities, 
or  the  farmer  in  the  Dakotaa  will  deem 
it  a  necessity  to  relieve  the  squalor  and 
the  painful  monotony  of  their  daily  sur- 
roundings by  the  introduction  of  a  pot- 
ted plant,  a  flower  or  a  shrub  into  their 
homes — just  as  soon  as  this  comes  to 
pass,  as  come  it  will,  the  future  of 
horticulture  will  be  laid  on  a  solid  and 
most  enduring  foundation. 

The  Need  of  Concerted  Action. 

And  right  here  I  can  scarcely  refrain 
from  saying  a  few  words — although  I 
am    repeating   myself — on    the    need   of

organization,  on  the  need  of  concerted 
action  in  behalf  of  a  common  cause. 
That  Chicago  will  have  the  honor,  as 
nell  as  the  Herculean  task,  to  hold  this 
6rst  national  flower  show,  does  not  nec- 
essarily mean,  as  some  perhaps  are  prone 
to  think,  that  this  is  to  be  a  Chicago 
»^flfai^  Not  by  any  means.  While  Chi- 
cago undertakes  the  work — and  a  tre- 
mendous work  it  is — it  will  depend  on 
ihe  aid  and  co-operation  of  the  eastern 
cities  and  the  eastern  growers.  This 
is  certain.  It  is  likewise  certain  that 
in  order  to  make  a  success  of  this,  our 
first  attempt,  there  must  be  no  division 
of  forces,  no  division  of  interests,  no 
geographical  lines  drawn.  Boston  as 
well  as  Milwaukee  must  come  to  the 
front  and  help  share  the  burden  of  Chi- 
cago. "Let  us  ever  remember,"  said 
the  late  President  McKinley,  "that  our 
interest  is  in  concord,  not  in  conflict." 
Let  us  remember  this,  if  we  wish  to 
see  horticulture  upon  a  plane  equal  to 
that  of  any  other  great  industry  in  our 
country. 

LILIES  IN  BERMUDA. 

The  season  for  the  blooming  of  lilies 
was  later  than  usual  in  Bermuda  this 
year  and  the  usual  shipments  to  New 
York  for  Easter  were  omitted,  possibly 
to  the  advantage  of  all  concerned.  When 
the  plants  got  into  flower  they  made  a 
magnificent  show,  as  can  be  seen  in  the 
accompanying  illustration  from  a  recent 
photograph  of  a  field  which  contains 
250,000  plants.  All  the  Bermuda  grow- 
ers are  practicing  better  cultural  methods 
than  they  were,  having  profited  by  the 
experience  of  those  who  have  not  at  any 
time  departed  from  the  straight  and  nar- 
row path  of  bulb  growing.  Those  who 
have   done    their    best    are    steadily    im- 


proving the  quality  of  their  stock  and 
it  is  now  the  general  practice  to  destroy 
all  diseased  bulbs  and  weed  out  the  hy- 
brids. If  this  is  kept  up  the  result  will 
be  to  put  Harrisii  back  where  it  once 
was,  before  so  many  diseased  and  mon- 
grel bulbs  began  to  come  out  of  the 
island.  The  report  is  that  this  year,  as 
in  recent  ones,  the  crop  of  large  bulbs 
will  not  be  up  to  requirements,  but  there 
will  be  a  good  quantity  of  the  medium 
sizes. 


CIVIL  SERVICE  GARDENERS. 

At  Kochester,  N.  Y.,  the  foreman  of 
the  Highland  park  greenhouses  is  under 
civil  service.  A  vacancy  having  oc- 
curred, an  examination  recently  was  held 
to  select  a  man  for  the  job.  As  indicat- 
ing the  range  of  horticultural  knowledge 
the  commission  thinks  a  capable  fore- 
man should  possess  the  following  details 
of  the  examination  will  be  of  interest: 

The  most  important  question  was  that 
requiring  the  candidates  to  write  a  state- 
ment of  their  experience,  qualifying 
them  to  take  charge  of  a  park  green- 
house. This  counted  for  twenty-five  per 
cent  of  the  total.  In  addition  were 
twenty-five  questions,  counting  three 
points  each,  as  follows: 

What  are  the  requirements  of  a  greenhouse 
foreman  in  a  park   system  ? 

State  the  different  methods  by  which  plants 
are  propagated. 

What  is  meant  by  a  species  of  any  tree, 
shrub  or  plant? 

What  methods  are  commonly  employed  for  the 
propagation  of  ffpecles? 

State  exceptions  when  more  profitable  and 
quicker  methods  can  be  used  to  propagate  spe- 
cies  than  the  sowing  of  seeds. 

What  is  meant  by  a  variety  of  any  tree, 
shrub  or  plant? 

How  are  varieties  usually  propagated? 

State  exceptions  where  varieties  can  be  raised 
true  from  seed. 

Name    the    different    kinds  of   coniferous   ever- 


greens that  can  be  profitably  raised  from  cut- 
tings. 

State  briefly  the  best  methods  of  handling 
and  growing  coniferous  evergreen  cuttings. 

What  method  of  grafting  is  commonly  used 
with  coniferous  evergreens? 

Name  some  of  the  kinds  of  coniferous  ever- 
greens usually  grafted. 

Name  the  two  horticultural  groiips  of  orchids 
and  describe  their  habits  of  growth. 

State  the  different  general  treatments  the  two 
sections  of  orchids   require  In   cultivation. 

Name  six  of  the  most  important  groups  of 
garden   roses. 

By  what  methods  are  roses  usually  propa- 
gated? 

What  method  is  commonly  resorted  to  to 
propagate  hybrid  perpetual  rowes   from  cuttings? 

Name  six  plaAts  that  are  used  in  what  is 
know;5  as  subtropical  bedding. 

How  many  horticultural  groups  of  begonias  are 
there?     Name  them. 

State  how  tuberous  rooted  begonias  can  be 
propagated  other  than  by  seeds. 

What  are  the  crown  and  terminal  buds  in 
chrysanthemums  ? 

State  which  kind  of  chrysanthemum  cuttings 
make  the  best  plants. 

How  are  the  foliage  plants  known  as  hen 
and  chickens    (eeheverlas)    propagated? 

How  many  tulips  will  It  take,  set  five  inches 
apart,   to   plant  a  bed  1.5x20  feet? 

How  many  geraniums  will  it  take  to  plant 
a  l)ed  20x30  feet,  set  ten  inches'  .apart? 

Three  hours  were  allowed  in  which  to 
answer  the  questions.  Four  candidates, 
in  this  instance,  felt  equal  to  the  ordeal. 
Two  were  men  who  had  been  employed 
in  the  park  greenhouses  for  some  time, 
and  two  were  employees  of  local  florists. 


WANTS  TO  DAZZLE. 

M.  Eice  &  Co.,  Philadelphia,  forward 
the  following  unique  letter  received  a  few 
days  ago  from  a  well-known  florist: 

In  the  Review  of  March  14  you  advertised 
that  you  had  lost  several  hundred  sets  of  Ombre 
ribbons.  We  sincerely  trust  that  by  this  time 
you  have  recovered  same,  as  we  might  like  to 
reward  you  with  an  order  if  one  of  the  sets 
were  found  on  our  desk  some  nice,  bright,  sun- 
shiny morning,  and  we  were  feeling  as  if  we 
wished  to  detach  ourselves  from  a  portion  of 
the  coin  of  the  realm  we  have  extracted  from 
the  purses  of  our  customers  in  return  for  a  few 
of  our  dreams  in  the  plant  or  floral  line.

WINDOW-BOXES. 


In  spite  of  the  retarded  spring,  which 
has  made  window-box  talk  sound  unsea- 
sonable, summer  will  come  some  time 
surely,  and  with  it  the  ever  recurring 
rush  for  the  filling  of  tubs  and  window- 
boxes  innumerable.  This  rush  is  not  con- 
fined to  the  placing  of  orders  for  these 
indispensable  exterior  embellishments  of 
city  and  country  homes  and  public  build- 
ings, but  of  necessity  there  is  associated 
with  it  also  the  need  ot  more  or  less  of 
a  rush  to  fill  these  orders,  a  fact  often 
responsible  for  poor  and  indifferent  re- 
sults. 

The  first  consideration  in  the  filling  of 
window-boxes  should  be  the  procuring  of 
good  soil  for  the  plants  to  grow  in  all 
through  the  summer.  The  next  consider- 
ation is  well  established  but  not  over- 
developed plants,  properly  selected  for 
the  purpose,  location,  etc.,  for  which  the 
boxes  are  wanted. 

For  sunny  situations,  flowering  plants 
are  usually  asked  for,  and  succeed  well 
when  placed  there,  but  it  is  almost  use- 
less to  put  geraniums  or  other  flowering 
plants  of  the  like  nature  in  boxes  or  tubs 
to  be  placed  where  the  sun  never  strikes. 
In    such    places    many    kinds    of    foliage 


plants  will  do  well  and,  if  in  addition  to 
shade,  or  partial  shade,  there  is  shelter, 
there  is  nothing  more  effective  than 
palms,  especially  kentias  and  phoenix, 
among  which  any  or  all  of  the  different 
varieties  of  nephrolepis  may  be  used  to 
advantage. 

Dracaena  indivisa  is  admirably  suited 
for  window-boxes,  as  well  as  for  tubs, 
both  for  its  graceful  habit  and  its  abil- 
ity to  stand  intact,  when  well  cared  for, 
all  through  the  summer  and  autumn  in 
bright  sunshine  and  in  partially  shaded 
situations.  Boxes  look  well  w^ien  planted 
entirely  with  this  dracaena,  with  the  ad- 
dition only  of  something  in  the  nature 
of  a  vine  to  hang  downwards;  or  when 
one  or  more  are  planted  in  each  box,  with 
the  remaining  space  filled  with  geraniums 
or  some  other  equally  suitable  flowering 
plants;  or  with  foliage  plants,  such  as 
aspidistra,  which  is  cast-iron  in  its  hardi- 
ness. 

Ivy-leaved  geraniums  are  charming 
plants  for  window-boxes  and  tubs.  Sal- 
vias are  bright  and  stand  well.  Acubas 
are  hardy  and  well  adapted  for  shady 
and  exposed  situations.  Crotons,  colored 
dracaenas  and  Rex  begonias  are  choice 
subjects  for  warm  locations  on  the  prem- 
ises of  high  class  buyers.  Cannas  and 
hydrangeas  are  used  extensively  for  bold 
effects  when  the  ornamentation  is  under- 
taken on  an  extensive  scale.  Rubber 
plants  are  effective  in  boxes  when  a  large 
number  may  be  allowed.  Lobelia  gracilis 
may  be  planted  along  the  edges. 

It  is  questionable  if  for  the  general 
run  of  window-boxes  anvthing  in  effect- 


iveness beats  the  variegated  yinca  for  a 
trailing  vine.  English  ivy  is  also  very 
good  for  the  same  purpose,  but  it  is  not 
so  showy  nor  is  it  as  a  rule  so  satisfac- 
tory in  the  matter  of  growth. 

Nasturtiums  are  well  adapted  for  fill- 
ing in  the  edges  of  window-boxes  and 
around  the  edges  of  tubs,  and  especially 
useful  when  the  question  of  expense  arises 
in  the  mind  of  the  buyer.  Among  the 
many  other  kinds  of  plants  suitable  for 
this  work  are  marguerites,  eoleus,  petu- 
nias, fuchsias,  centaureas,  tuberous  and 
fibrous-rooted  begonias,  ageratum,  alys- 
sum,  achyranthes,  Latania  Borbonica, 
anthericum,  Grevillea  robusta,  cupheas, 
araucarias  and  German  ivy. 

Bright  and  effective  window-boxes  are 
sometimes  seen,  the  flowering  plants  of 
which  they  are  composed  are  of  mixed 
colors,  but  boxes  filled  with  plants  of  one 
color  are  as  a  rule  more  pleasing  and 
they  give,  besides,  the  impression  of  pro- 
fessional workmanship. 

The  boxes,  as  receptacles,  need  not  by 
any  means  be  costly  or  of  superior  work- 
manship. For  all  practical  purposes, 
plain  board  boxes  painted  any  desired 
color,  green  always  preferable,  are  just 
as  good  as  those  costing  five  times  as 
much  money. 

Important  as  the  work  of  filling  the 
boxes  undoubtedly  is,  that  of  properly 
attending  to  the  plants  after  the  boxes 
are  filled  is  of  still  more  importance,  be- 
cause their  remaining  for  any  length  of 
time  a  source  of  pleasure  depends  upon 
the  care  with  which  they  are  watere«l 
from  the  time  they  are  filled.        D.  M. 


PROPAGATING. 

Tho  plants  intended  for  6-inch  pots 
sliouW  be  propagated  from  now  on  to 
June  1,  nnd  many  commercial  growers 
also  do  not  root  their  main  crop  before 
this  date.  It  is  harder  to  root  plants 
from  now  on  than  it  has  been  earlier 
in  the  season,  because  with  increased  sun- 
light, a  higher  temperature  and  drying 
winds  the  cuttings  wilt  so  quickly.  If 
a  grower  has  a  propagating  house  with 
a  northern  aspect,  he  can  get  along  all 
right  by  watching  his  stock,  but  the  man 
who  has  to  propagate  in  a  house  where 
stock  is  growing  is  at  great  disadvantage. 

The  warm,  dry  air  is  every  uit  as  bad 
as  direct  sunlight  for  sapping  the  vital- 
ity of  the  cuttings.  If  a  corner  can  be 
shut  off  from  the  rest  of  the  house  by 
using  a  burlap  screen,  it  will  cut  out 
the  direct  draught  from  the  bed,  and  by 
frequent  spraying  the  cuttings  can  be 
kept  fresh  till  they  are  rooted  and  able 
to  take  care  of  thenaselves. 

I  have  had  good  success  at  this  time 
of  the  year  by  propagating  in  a  frame 
behind  a  north  wall,  where  the  sun  could 


never  strike.  In  such  a  place,  by  shading 
the  glass  and  keeping  the  sash  almost 
closed  during  the  day,  one  can  root  prac- 
tically 100  per  cent  without  much  trouble. 
The  cuttings  intended  for  the  6-inch 
pot  plants  should  be  watched  and  potted 
just  as  soon  as  the  roots  are  half  an 
inch  long.  If  you  can  get  some  leaf  soil, 
make  the  soil  for  the  first  potting  nice 
and  light  by  its  use,  putting  in  one-third 
of  leaf  soil  to  two-thirds  of  soil. 

.  After  potting,  stand  the  plants  in  a 
frame  outside  and  give  them  every  care 
{lossible,  so  that  they  will  make  stocky 
plants.  A  drawn-up  cutting  is  useless  for 
this  work  if  one  figures  on  exhibiting  the 
plants  in  the  fall. 

Other  things  being  equal,  lue  dwarf 
plant  will  gain  the  prize  over  A  longer 
one.  The  ideal  plant  is  not  over  twelve 
to  eighteen  inches  from  the  top  of  the 
pot  to  the  flower,  so  it  can  easily  be  seen 
that  a  cutting  neglected  has  not  much 
chance  to  make  good. 

Another  important  thing  is  the  selec- 
tion of  dwarf  varieties.  I  would  suggest 
among    others    the    following    varieties: 


White — Beatrice  Maj',  Merza,  Nellie  Pock- 
ett.  May  Seddon  and  Mrs.  A.  T.  Miller. 
Pink  —  Lady  Hopetoun,  Valerie  Green - 
ham,  W.  Duckham,  M.  F.  Plant  and  Mir- 
iam Hankey.  Yellow — Cheltoni,  Mrs.  W. 
Duckham,  Old  Gold,  A.  T.  Stevens  and 
Col.  Appleton.  Bronze — Mrs.  A.  J.  Mil- 
ler, Mrs.  G.  Heaume,  Mary  Ann  Pockett 
and  D.  McLeod.  Red — Merstham  Red, 
Merstham  Crimson  and  Mrs.  A.  H.  Lee. 
From  these  kinds  a  fine  selection  for 
twelve  varieties  could  be  obtained,  and 
they  are  all  large  in  size  and  of  splendid 
habit.  C.  H.  Tottv. 


IN  A  CARNATION  HOUSE. 

I  have  built  a  carnation  house  this 
spring,  12x24  feet,  and  I  wish  to  grow 
a  limited  quantity  of  chrysanthemums. 
Should  I  plant  them  in  the  benches  and 
grow  single-stemmed  plants,  or  would  it 
be  better  to  plant  them  in  pots,  or  plant 
them  in  the  open  ground  and  lift  them 
in  September?  The  varieties  are  A.  J. 
Balfour,  Wm.  Duckham,  Alice  Byron, 
Mrs.     Robinson,     Black     Douglas,     Wm.

'iety  from  John  Lewis  Child's  catalogue. 
My  greenhouse  this  fall  will  be  kept  at 
:\  temperature  of  54  degrees,  and  planted 
to  carnations.  Please  explain  clearly 
how  to  grow  the  mums  I  have  named. 

F.  C.  P. 


Answering  F.  C.  P.,  I  would  say  that 
if  he  proposes  to  grow  only  a  small 
number  of  plants,  why  not  fill  the  benches 
with  carnations  and  grow  the  mums  in 
jiots?  They  can  then  be  flowered  along 
the  paths  or  in  any  corner  and  the  re- 
turns from  the  house  could  be  increased 
l)y  just  that  much.  He  could,  of  course, 
]ilant  them  out  in  the  garden  and  lift 
Ihem  early  in  September.  Handled  in 
this  manner,  they  are  not  so  liable  to  be 
neglected  in  the  hot  summer — if  we  are 


to  get  any  this  year — and  will  produce 
a  good  enough  grade  of  flowers  for  fu- 
neral work. 

The  culture  in  such  9,  case  consists 
merely  of  pinching  back  the  main  shoots 
until  about  the  first  week  in  July  and 
then  letting  the  plants  produce  buds 
when  they  are  ready  in  September. 
Water  the  plants  and  syringe  them  vigor- 
ously once  in  a  while,  putting  in  a  stake 
or  two  to  prevent  the  plants  from  get- 
ting broken.  To  grow  them  in  pots 
means  more  work  watering;  otherwise  it 
is  not  much  different.  To  explain  in  de- 
tail how  to  grow  mums  would  take  up 
lots  of  time  and  space,  but  if  F.  C.  P. 
will  watch  the  notes  appearing  from 
week  to  week  in  this  column  and  will 
use  his  own  common  sense  in  applying 
them  to  his  own  individual  case,  he  will 
not  find  any  very  great  difficulties  in 
his  path.  C.  H.  T. 


FOR  TWO  HOUSES. 

I  have  two  carnation  houses,  each  25x 
50  feet.  I  intend  growing  Winsor,  Fian- 
cee, Robert  Craig,  Mrs.  Patten,  Eoose- 
velt,  Enchantress,  Eose-pink  Enchantress, 
White  Perfection,  Lieutenant  Peary  and 
Dorothy  Whitney.  Will  you  kindly  in- 
form me  which  varieties  I  should  grow 
in  each  house,  and  the  temperature  of 
the  houses?  Also  I  intend  to  plant  right 
in  the  benches,  as  my  stock  is  in  3-ineh 
Jiots.  When  would  you  advise  planting, 
and  will  you  please  inform  what  soil  you 
consider  best  for  carnations?    A.  N.  B. 


In  dividing  the  varieties  for  planting 
ill  the  two  houses  you  will  have  to  take 
into  consideration  the  quantity  you  wish 
to  plant  of  each,  as  well  as  the  temper- 
ature required  by  each  variety.  If  you 
were  to  gr<i|w  the  same  quantity  of  each 
variety  I  could  divide  them  half  and  half 
for  you,  but  lest  you  may  want  to  fill 
uiie  house  with  three  or  four  sorts  and 
put  the  balance  in  the  other  house  I  will 
make  three  classes.  One  will  be  far  the 
warmer  house,  another  will  be  for  the 
cooler  house  and  the  third  you  can  plant 
in  either  house  with  good  average  re- 
fiults.  Plant  Enchantress,  Rose-pink  En- 
chantress and  White  Perfection  in  one 
house  and  run  it  at  50  to  52  degrees  at 
night.  Plant  Fiancee,  Lieutenant  Peary 
and  Robert  Craig  in  the  warmer  house 
and  run  it  at  52  to  54  degrees.  Put 
Fiancee  at  the  warmest  end  of  this  house. 
The  other  varieties  will  do  splendidly  in 
about  52  degrees. 

Plant  Enchantress  and  Rose-pink  En- 
chantress on  the  north  side  of  the  house, 
if  possible.  The  color  will  hold  better 
if  the  sunlight  is  subdued  slightly  toward 
sjiring.  The  white  varieties  should  be  on 
the  south  side,  where  they  will  get  the 
full  sun,  to  prevent  the  blooms  from 
coming  mottled  with  pink.  These  two 
varieties,,  however,  are  usually  free  from 
this  fault.  This  rule  holds  good  with 
nearly  all  the  white  varieties  and  the 
various  shades  of  pink.   We  have  had  no 


experience  as  yet  with  Winsor,  and  so  do 
not  know  whether  it  bleaches  easily  or 
not,  but  I  would  advise  planting  it  where 
it  can  be  shaded  readily  without  shading 
anything  else,  unless  desired. 

If  your  houses  are  empty  I  would  ad- 
vise planting  as  soon  as  it  can  be  done. 
The  young  plants  will  be  all  the  better 
established  and  will  be  better  able  to  en- 
dure the  heat  during  the  summer  than 
when  they  are  planted  right  in  the  midst 
of  the  summer  heat.  If  planting  at  once 
is  impractical,  then  keep  them  growing 
until  it  can  be  done.  Shift  into  4-inch 
pots,  if  necessary,  to  keep  them  going. 

Carnations  are  being  grown  success- 
fully in  a  wide  range  of  soil,  and  it 
would  be  a  mistake  for  anyone  to  say 
this  is  the  right  soil,  and  no  other  can 
be  used  with  as  good  success.  The  main 
point  is  to  study  your  soil  and  supply 
whatever  may  be  lacking  to  make  a  good 
soil  for  the  plants.  It  will  prove  quite 
advantageous  to  the  beginner  to  have  a 


light  soil  that  will  drain  readily,  as  the 
danger  of  overwatering  is  more  difficult 
to  avoid  during  the  winter  than  the 
other  extreme.  A  good  rule  to  go  by, 
for  the  beginner,  is  the  quality  of  the  sod 
that  is  growing  on  the  soil.  A  soil  that 
will  produce  a  good,  heavy  sod  will  usu- 
ally contain  the  principal  elements  re- 
quired by  carnations  and  other  green- 
house plants.  Whatever  may  be  lacking 
for  any  particular  crop  can  be  adde<l 
to   it.  A.  F.  J.  Baur. 


CARNATION  AFTERGLOW. 

Richard  Witterstaetter,  Cincinnati,  the 
originator  of  Carnation  Afterglow, 
states  that  he  has  made  arrangements 
for  its  dissemination  in  the  trade,  the 
coming  season.  It  will  be  put  out  joint- 
ly with  William  Nicholson,  Framingham, 
Mass.;  E.  G.  Hill  Co.,  Richmond,  Ind., 
and  Dailledouze  Bros.,  Flatbush,  N.  Y. 
The  color  is  rosy  cerise  and  everyone  who 
is  familiar  with  the  variety  thinks  it 
is  destined  to  be  grown  as  universally 
as  has  been  the  Lawson.  It  has  done 
excellently  in  the  several  sections  in 
which  it  has  been  tried  this  season  and 
at  all  the  exhibitions  it  has  scored  splen- 
didly. At  the  annual  carnation  show  of 
the  Chicago  Florists'  Club  there  was  a 
series  of  five-minute  talks  and  nearly 
every  speaker  had  a  good  word  to  say 
for  Afterglow. 


DATE  OF  FIRST  CROP. 

Please  tell  a  beginner  what  length  of 
time  will  be  required  to  bring  rooted 
carnation  cuttings  into  bloom,  if  planted 
out  now,  and  taken  into  the  greenhouse 
about  August  1.  E.  C.  B. 


Plants  that  are  set  out  in  the  field  now 
should  make  nice  stock  by  August  1,  and 
if  housed  at  that  date  should  be  yielding 
a  fair  cut  from  early  in  October  on.  This 
will,  of  course,  depend  on  many  condi- 
tions, which  may  bring  the  crop  quicker 
or  throw  it  later.  Varieties  differ 
greatly,  too.  For  instance,  Mrs.  Lawson 
would  not  give  you  long  enough  stems  to 
be  of , much  use  in  vase  work  before  No- 
vember or  later,  while  Enchantress  and 
others  will  give  you  good  stems  at  once.

SEASONABLE  TREATMENT. 

At  this  season  mildew  is  one  of  the 
worst  enemies  of  the  rose  grower.  As 
the  houses  have  to  be  left  open  a  great 
deal  and  the  sudden  fluctuations  of  tem- 


perature create  the  conditions  suitablt' 
for  the  germination  of  the  spores  which 
are  ever  present,  and  as  the  weather  is 
too  warm  to  require  firing,  it  is  no  easy 
job  to  get  rid  of  this  fungus. 

Careful  ventilation  and  a  dusting  of 
the  flowers  of  sulphur  twice  a  week  will 
help  to  keep  it  in  check.  For  a  bad  case 
of  it,  shutting  down  the  ventilators  and 
running  the  temperature  up  to  95  de- 
grees, with   a   good    dusting   of   «ulphur.

will  usually  effect  a  cure.  This  should 
be  done  while  the  sun  is  shining  and  the 
atmosphere  of  the  house  is  dry.  Care 
should  be  taken  not  to  get  the  house  too 
hot,  or  the  foliage  may  suffer. 

The  most  effective  and  easily  applied 
of  all  the  mildew  remedies,  although 
rather  expensive,  is  Campbell's  sulphur 
vaporizer.  With  this  appliance,  if  ordi- 
nary care  is  exercised  in  its  manipulation, 
mildew  can  most  surely  be  kept  in  sub- 
jection. 

Young  stock  now  will  require  careful 
watching  so  that  they  may  never  be  al- 
lowed to  dry  out,  especially  in  stock 
where  the  pots  are  well  filled  with  roots. 

In  stock  houses,  after  some  of  ■  the 
plants  have  been  removed,  it  is  well  to 
keep  the  sand  or  ashes  upon  which  they 
have  been  standing  just  as  wet  as  for- 
merly, in  order  to  keep  the  atmosphere 
up  to  the  proper  point  of  humidity. 

These  jnatters  may  appear  small  and 
of  little  importance,  but  there  is  nothing 
in  rose  growing  too  minute  to  be  worthy 
of  notice  and  recording.  The  attention 
given  these  seemingly  trivial  matters  is 
frequently  what  constitutes  the  difference 
between  a  success  and  a  failure. 

Every  grower  should  keep  a  journal  in 
which  to  note  his  observations  and  keep 
a  record  of  his  work,  and  while  record- 
ing his  successes  he  should  also  be  care- 
ful to  note  his  failures  and,  if  possible, 
the  causes.  By  keeping  these  failures 
and  the  causes  vividly  before  his  mind 


he  will  be  the  more  apt  to  avoid  them  in 
future.  It  is  by  studying  the  causes 
which  lead  to  failure  that  we  ultimately 
attain  success.  Kibes. 


BEST  THREE  NEW  ROSES. 

W.  S.  Nickerson,  of  Cambridge,  Mass., 
who  is  a  great  rose  enthusiast  and  a 
member  of  the  American  Rose  Society, 
as  well  as  the  National  Rose  Society  of 
England,  offered,  through  the  latter  so- 
ciety, three  prizes  which  have  created  an 
unusual  amount  of  interest  among  the 
English  growers.  His  prizes  were  as  fol- 
lows: 

1.  To  the  raiser  of  the  best  hybrid 
perpetual  rose  introduced  since  1900,  £5. 

2.  To  the  raiser  of  the  best  hybrid 
tea  rose  introduced   since   1900,  £5. 

3.  To  the  raiser  of  the  best  tea  rose 
introduced  since  1900,  £5. 

The  National  Rose  Society  selected 
sixty  judges,  men  both  in  professional 
and  amateur  ranks,  who  had  to  decide 
on  these  prizes. 

The  result  was  that  prize  No.  1  was 
forwarded  to  the  raiser  of  Frau  Karl 
Druschki,  which  received  fifty-four  out 
of  a  total  of  fifty-five  votes.  Prize  No. 
2  went  to  the  raiser  of  Dean  Hole,  and 
prize  No.  3  to  the  raiser  of  Mme.  Jules 
Cravereaux.  Such  a  decision  should  set- 
tle for  some  time  the  relative  standing 
of  the  newer  roses  in  Europe  and  should 
be  received  with  interest  by  American 
rosarians.  W.  N.  C.

SUGGESTIONS 


■%4f^'U:^'U:^-'U^>'Ve0^\'-9> 


Pyrethrums. 

Pyrethrums  are  valuable  florists'  flow- 
ers, and,  being  of  easy  culture,  should 
be  more  largely  grown.  The  single  forms 
of  P.  roseum  give  a  fine  variety  of  colors, 
including  pure  white,  vivid  scarlet,  pale 
flesh,  rosy  pink  and  rosy  carmine. 
Propagation  is  from  seed,  or  divisions  of 
the  plants.  Seed  should  be  sown  in  early 
spring,  but  it  is  not  yet  too  late  to  secure 
strong  plants  to  bloom  in  June,  1908. 
Sow  in  a  frame  which  is  well  shaded  and 
prick  off  when  large  enough  to  handle. 
The  plants  can  be  set  out  during  the 
month  of  September,  where  it  is  intended 
to  flower  them.  If  division  of  the  clumps 
is  decided  upon,  the  work  is  better  done 
not  later  than  August.  This  insures  the 
plants  becoming  well  established  before 
winter.  A  light  scattering  of  straw  or 
leaves  is  all  the  winter  protection  needed. 

Given  an  early  season  and  a  good 
many  single  pyrethrums  are  available  for 
cutting  at  Memorial  day,  but  during 
.Tune  they  are  especially  useful.  Having 
long,  stiff  stems,  they  are  excellent  for 
mixed  bouquets  and  a  vase  of  one  de- 
cided color  is  decidedly  effective.  The 
double  varieties  of  P.  roseum  are  popular 
and  succeed  well  in  Europe,  but  are 
more  uncertain  here.  They  import  badly, 
a  large  proportion  being  usually  dead  on 
arrival.  They  are  propagated  by  divi- 
sion of  the  clumps  and  are  fully  as  hardy 
as   the   single   ones.     The    double   white 


and  pink  are  useful  in  funeral  work,  tak- 
ing the  place  of  asters. 

Pyrethrums  need  wellj  drained  ground 
or  the  clumps  will  rot.  The  well-known, 
tall-growing  P.  uliginosum  is  fine  for 
massing  on  lawns  and  in  shrubberies  and 
is  splendid  for  cutting.  It  blooms  late, 
usually  not  before  the  middle  of  August. 
Flowers  are  pure  white,  with  yellow  cen- 
ters. The  plant  grows  four  to  six  feet 
in  height*  and  is  a  notable  object  when  in 
flower.  It  is  propagated  by  division  of 
the  roots  and  increases  rapidly  in  size. 

Perennial  Phlox. 

Perhaps  the  most  useful  of  all  flow- 
ering herbaceous  perennials  is  the  phlox. 
No  commercial  grower  can  well  afford  to 
be  without  a  row  of  phloxes.  Their  cul- 
tivation is  simple  and  their  propagation 
of  the  easiest.  Soft  wood  cuttings  root 
readily  and  may  still  be  placed  in  sand 
and  make  oice  little  plants  before  fall. 
Treat  the  same  as  you  would  chrysanthe- 
mums or  carnations  and  few  will  fail. 
During  a  damp,  cloudy  spell  they  can  be 
placed  directly  outdoors  from  the  propa- 
gating bed.  Phloxes  are  easily  raised 
from  seed  and  the  clumps  may  be 
chopped  in  pieces  with  a  sharp  spade. 
Young  plants,  however,  give  the  finest 
heads  of  bloom.  By  making  a  judicious 
selection  of  varieties  a  continuity  of 
bloom  may  be  had  from  early  June  until 
freezing  weather. 

Some   varieties  of   P.  suffruticosa   are 


valuable  and  flower  earlier  than  the  vari- 
ous forms  of  P.  decussata  (paniculata). 
The  best  of  this  class  is  Miss  Lingard, 
almost  pure  white,  with  a  faint  pink  eye. 
Other  good  varieties  are:  Nettie  Stuart, 
white  shaded  pink;  White  Swan,  pure 
white,  and  Rosy  Gem,  clear  rose.  A  few 
specially  good  forms  of  P.  decussata  are : 
Independence,  Le  Cygne,  Albatre,  Jeanne 
D'Arc,  all  pure  white;  Le  Soleil,  rose; 
Coquelicot,  orange  scarlet;  General 
Chanzy,  scarlet  pink;  R.  P.  Struthers, 
salmon  pink;  L'Esperance,  lavender 
pink ;  Mme.  P.  Langier,  geranium  red ; 
Lumineaux,  rose  tinted  carmine;  Richard 
Wallace,  white,  rose  center;  Eclaireur, 
crimson;  Boule  de  Feu,  cherry  red,  and 
LejMahdi,  violet  blue.  There  are  many 
other  good  ones. 

Perennial  phloxes  last  very  well  as  cut 
flowers.  They  should  be  cut  early  iu 
the  morning  and  placed  for  a  few  hours 
in  cold  water  in  a  cool  chamber  before 
being  placed  in  a  warm  room.  The  white 
and  pink  sorts  come  in  useful  in  summer 
for  making  up  design  work. 

The  early  dwarf  phloxes  are  splendid 
for  early  spring  bedding,  also  being  at 
home  in  the  alpine  or  rock  garden.  P. 
divaricata  makes  a  pretty  pot  plant. 

Incarvillea  Delavayi. 

Few  perennials  have  jumped  into  such 
instantaneous  popularity  as  Incarvillea 
Delavayi.  The  flowers,  which  are  glox- 
inia-like in  form,  are  carried  in  erect 
clusters,  being  large,  trumpet-shaped,  of 
rosy-pink  color,  and  last  remarkably  well. 
Incarvillea  Delavayi  is  not  reliably 
hardy.  In  well  drained  locations  near 
the  sea,  and  on  sandy  soils  inland,  it  win- 
ters with  a  mulcliing  of  sea  weed  or 
leaves.  It  is  sater,  however,  to  lift  th^ 
roots  in  November  and  store  them  like 
dahlias,  in  dry  soil,  and  plant  out  again 
in  the  spring.  For  mass  effects,  or  even 
for  individual  plantings  in  mixed  bor- 
ders, this  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
perennials  introduced  for  many  years. 
Like  some  other  plants  from  northern 
China,  it  is  less  reliably  hardy  than 
phloxes,  peonies  and  some  other  peren- 
nials. 

Funkias* 

The  funkias,  or  plantain  lilies,  are  de- 
sirable hardy  perennials  and  perfectly 
hardy.  F.  subcordata  grandiflora,  com- 
monly called  the  giant  day  lily,  witli 
broad,  pale-green  leaves  and  handsome 
spikes  of  pure  white,  fragrant  flowers, 
is  a  beautiful  subject  for  the  edges  of 
shrubberies,  preferring  a  little  shade.  We 
have  used  the  flowers  in  design  work  to 
good  advantage,  F.  ovata  has  handsome, 
glossy  foliage  and  large  spikes  of  trum- 
pet-shaped, lilac-colored  flowers.  F.  lan- 
cifolia,  flowering  in  August,  has  deep 
green,  lanceolate  leaves  and  pale-lilac 
flowers.  F.  undulata  media  variegata, 
with  green  leaves,  margined  and  edged 
with  white,  is  fine  for  borders  and  edg- 
ings and,  being  thoroughly  hardy,  should 
be  especially  valuable  commercially.  All 
the  funkias  are  easily  increased  by  di- 
viding, which  can  be  done  either  in  Sep- 
tember or  April. 

Anemone  Japonica. 

The  Japanese  anemones  are  the  most 
charming  and  useful  of  all  late-blooming 
perennials.  Their  flowering  period  is 
from  the  end  of  August  until  cut  down 
by  frost.  While  perfectly  hardy  in  many 
places,  in  well-drained  land  when  well 
mulched,  there  are  other  locations  where

it  is  advisable  to  lift  the  roots  and  store 
them  thickly,  either  on  a  cellar  floor  or 
in  a  coldframe  covered  with  earth,  plant- 
ing them  out  as  soon  as  the  ground  can 
be  worked.  "  Propagation  is  extremely 
simple.  Pieces  of  roots  cut  from  one- 
fourth  to  half  an  inch  long,  laid  on  a 
sand  bed  and  covered,  will  speedily  start 
to  grow  and  make  roots.  They  should  be 
potted,  gradually  hardened  off  and 
planted  outside  in  April.  A  good  time 
to  propagate  is  in  November  or  Decem- 
ber. These  young  plants  will  not  bloom 
quite  so  early  as  the  older  clumps,  but 
will  give  handsome  flowers  toward  the 
end  of  September.  A  few  may  be  planted 
together  in  boxes  or  large  pots  and 
placed  under  glass  when  sharp  frost 
threatens.  Whether  for  cutting  for  vase 
work  or  for  using  in  designs  they  are 
unexcelled  in  their  season. 

There  are  many  forms  of  A.  Japonica. 
The  ordinary  form  has  rosy-purple  flow- 
ers. The  variety  alba  carries  pure  white 
blooms  with  y^low  stamens.  A.  Queen 
Charlotte  has  lovely,  rose-colored,  semi- 
double  flowers,  while  A.  Whirlwind  bears 
white,  semi-double  flowers  with  a  whirl 
of  green  bracts  around  the  base  of  the 
petals.  There  are  many  other  excellent 
named  forms  of  these  anemones.  All  at- 
tain a  height  of  two  to  three  and  one- 
half  feet.  They  have  stems  sufficiently 
strong  to  make  staking  unnecessajy  and 
merit  extended  culture  by  both  commer- 
cial and  private  growers. 

Astilbes. 

The  astilbes,  or  spiraeas,  as  they  are 
more  commonly  known,  are  all  of  easy 
culture  and  of  considerable  value  to  flo- 
rists. As  pot  plants  we  do  not  now  pro- 
pose to  discuss  them,  as  they  are  suffi- 
ciently known  to  render  this  needless. 
When  planting  a  herbaceous  border  for 
anyone  it  is  always  well  to  include  some 
of  them,  for  in  addition  to  making  an 
excellent  showing  there,  they  are  well 
adapted  for  cutting.  The  old  A.  Japon- 
ica has  now  to  a  considerable  extent 
been  displaced  by  such  forms  as  A.  com- 
pacta  multiflora  and  the  hybrids,  hke 
Gladstone,  Washington  and  Queen  of 
Holland.  All  these  make  splendid  border 
plants  and  rapidly  increase  in  size  and 
value.    If  given  rich  land  they  will,  in  a 


couple  of  years  after  forcing,  make 
splendid  plants  for  potting  again,  al- 
though it  may  be  necessary  to  chop  them 
in  several  pieces  before  doing  this. 

The  well-known,  robust-growing  vari- 
ety, aruncus,  or  Aaron's  beard,  makes  a 
noble  individual  plant  on  a  lawn  and  is 
fine  in  shrubberies.  Its  long,  feathery 
panicles  are  open  early  in  July.  A.  pal- 
mata,  with  rosy-crimson  flowers,  makes  a 
good  border  plant  and  is  also  well 
adapted  for  pot  culture  when  not  sub- 
jected to  hard  forcing.  A.  astilboides  is 
well  known  as  a  forcer.  Outdoors  its 
beautiful,  dense  plumes  of  feathery, 
white  flowers  are  borne  in  profusion.  A. 
venusta  and  A.  lobata  each  carry  spikes 
four  to  five  feet  in  height,  of  feathery, 
soft-rose  flowers,  one  of  the  most  beauti- 
ful shades  imaginable.  A.  Filipendula, 
with  white  flowers  tinged  with  rose,  and 
A.  Ulmaria  fl.  pi.,  the  double  white  form 
of  the  Queen  of  the  Meadows,  are  both 
excellent  herbaceous  border  varieties. 

All  the  astilbes  prefer  rich  and  mod- 
erately damp  soil  to  give  the  best  re- 
sults. Land  where  no  water  will  stand 
in'  winter,  however,  should  be  chosen. 
A.  Davidii,  one  of  Veitch's  introductions 
from  western  China,  growing  five  to  six 
feet  in  height,  has  not  proved  hardy  in 
some  places,  but  is  well  worth  a  trial  if 
only  for  its  color,  which  is  rather  new 
in  this  genus,  being  a  deep,  rosy-pink 
color. 

Brief  Reminders. 

The  bedding  out  season  promises  to  be 
a  late  and  dragging  one.  There  is  little 
to  be  gained  by  planting  out  tender  stock 
while  the  weather  remains  so  extremely 
cold.  Geraniums,  if  well  hardened, 
should  be  all  right  to  plant  out  and,  of 
course,  Dracaena  indivisa,  a  popular 
plant  for  the  center  of  vases,  does  not 
mind  a  little  cold. 

Be  careful  not  to  overwater  poinsettia 
cuttings  or  they  will  speedily  damp  off. 
Get  additional  batches  of  cuttings  in  as 
fast  as  they  are  produced.  Those  rubbed 
off  with  a  heel  root  the  quickest.  Give 
the  little  plants  a  warm  house  for  some 
time  yet. 

Do  not  neglect  ficus,  cr'i^^ns  and  other 
plants.  You  may  be  propagating  by  the 
mossing  method.  Be  sure  to  always  keep 
the  moss  damp  and  few  will  ^'ail  to  root. 


Stevia  serrata  must  be  shifted  into 
flats  or  larger  pots  before  it  becomes  too 
matted.  Keep  it  well  pinched  and  as 
cool  as  possible  without  freezing  it. 

Salvia  splendens  may  still  be  sown  for 
late  use  in  borders.  Successive  sowings 
of  asters  and  stocks  can  be  made.  Do 
not  forget  a  row  of  Shirley  poppies; 
these  fleeting  but  beautiful  annuals  are 
admired  by  everyone. 

Do  not  allow  bedding  stock  to  get  dry 
at  the  roots,  and  above  all  things  never 
plant  out  any  with  dry  balls,  or  failure 
will  result. 

Give  the  little  cyclamens  more  room 
as  they  grow  and  do  not  allow  thrips  or 
aphis  to  get  a  foothold  among  them. 

Continue  to  put  in  chrysanthemum  cut- 
tings. They  will  still  give  you  good, 
serviceable  flowers. 

Try  to  get  caught  up  on  your  other 
work  so  that  you  can  devote  more  of  your 
energies  to  bedding  out  and  Memorial 
day  business,  but  of  this  more  another 
week. 

FACTORY  SITE  IMPROVEMENT. 

It  is  becoming  the  fashion  for  the 
large  manufacturing  concerns  to  leave 
the  big  cities,  with  their  congestion  and 
high  costs,  for  the  roomy  cleanliness  of 
the  open  country,  where  horticulture 
usually  finds  a  place  in  their  field  of 
operations.  If  a  site  is  chosen  outside 
a  city,  a  new  town  quickly  springs  into 
being  and,  following  the  example  set  by 
the  company,  the  people  of  the  town 
take  to  gardening  as  naturally  as 
ducklings  take  to  water.  Hence  the 
trade  has  a  direct  interest  in  every  such 
large  concern,  and  every  encouragement 
should  be  given  the  management  in  the 
matter  of  beautifying  its  factory  site. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  re- 
produced from  a  photograph  showing 
how  the  work  has  been  started  at  the 
plant  of  the  Bradley  Mfg.  Co.,  at  Brad- 
ley, 111.,  near  Kankakee.  The  planting 
of  trees  and  shrubs  was  done  bj  the 
Peterson  Nursery  and  the  bedding  by 
the  company  gardener,  who  is  charged 
with  the  care  and  development  of  the 
floricultural  features.  As  time  goes  on 
not  only  will  the  whole  town  become  im- 
bued with  the  gardening  spirit,  to  the 
betterment  of  the  character  of  the  com- 
munity,   but   other    large   manufacturers

will  be  led  to  follow  the  example  set 
]>erhaps  in  the  first  instance  by  the  cash 
register  people  at  Dayton.  One  of  the 
specially  good  features  of  the  work  be- 
gun at  Bradley  is  that  the  plant  stands 
beside  the  tracks  of  the  Illinois  Central 
railroad,  and  several  other  lines  have 
their  entrance  to  Chicago  over  the  I.  C. 
tracks  from  Kankakee  to  the  city,  so 
that  millions  of  the  traveling  public  will 
be  given  a  demonstration  of  what  can 
be  done  to  make  life  worth  living. 


RETAIL  PLANT  ADVERTISING. 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  at  this  sea- 
son of  the  year  the  rush  is  about  all 
that  any  one  can  take  care  of,  still 
nearly  every  grower  of  bedding  plants 
who  sells  his  stock  at  home  does  more 
or  less  advertising  in  the  local  papers; 
only  the  rush  makes  him  slight  the  prep- 
aration of  his  advertisement,  and  as  a 
consequence  he  loses  half  the  value  he 
might  have  had.  Advertising  has  be- 
come a  large  factor  in  our  business  life 
and  it  is  worth  some  thought;  thought 
not  only  as  to  the  selection  of  the 
methods  of  advertising,  but  as  to  the 
wording  and  appearance  of  the  adver- 
tisement. It  costs  just  as  much  to  pub- 
lish a  poorly  worded,  meaningless  ad- 
vertisement as  it  does  one  that  is  direct, 
clear,  convincing  and  attractive,  and 
there  is  all  the  difference  in  the  world  in 
the  results. 

An  advertisement  always  should  be 
concise.  No  matter  how  much  space  you 
use,  don't  put  in  unnecessary  words.  Tell 
the  whole  story  but  boil  it  down.  Don't 
crowd  your  space.  Too  few  advertisers 
appreciate  the  effectiveness  of  white 
space  in  advertising.  It  is  as  good  as 
a  cut,  though  the  latter  shows  .the  goods, 
and  a  picture  is  the  next  best  thing  to 
a  sample.  Quote  a  price;  priced  adver- 
tisements always  bring  the  most  direct 
returns,  other  things  being  equal.  A 
price  sells  goods.  It  doesn't  leave  the 
reader  in  doubt.  Put  a  well-worded 
priced  advertisement  in  the  paper  that 
the  people  read — the  one  that  carries  the 
most  advertising — and  it  will  bring  you 
business,  whether  your  price  is  high  or 
low. 

The  local  retail  advertisement  repro- 
duced herewith  is  one  published  in  Bal- 
timore newspapers  by  J.  Bolgiano  & 
Sons.  It  is  one  of  the  kind  that  sells 
goods. 

GARDENIAS. 

We  want  to  grow  some  gardenias  and 
would  like  to  know  what  temperature 
they  need  and  if  plants  frou;  i;'/2-inch 
pots  will  bloom  this  winter.  "Wul  they 
do  as  well  in  pots  or  planted  i;i  the 
bench?  Do  they  need  smoking  and  will 
they  stand  watering  overhead  when  in 
Mnom?  In  fact,  please  tell  us  all  you 
can  about  them.  A.  B.  C. 


A  temperature  of  60  to  65  degrees  at 
night  is  necessary,  the  higher  figure  being 
better  than  the  lower  one.  Plants  from 
•Jlij-inch  j.ots  will  make  nne  bushes  be- 
'  'v'  winter.  They  will  need  pinching 
several  times  until  the  middle  of  August 
to  keep  them  bushy.  They  n.-quire  fumi- 
gation for  green  aphis,  which  attacks  the 
young  shoots.  Scale  and  me.ily  bug,  es- 
pecially the  latter,  are  partial  to  gar- 
denias, but  can  be  easily  kept  in  check 
by  using  a  spray  nozzle  on  the  hose 
twice  a  week.  Syringing  overhead  while 
in  bloom  does  not  harm  the  flowers  in 
the  least. 


Plants  grown  along  in  pots  will  give 
rather  earlier  flowers,  but  these  will  not 
be  of  the  size  or  quality  of  those  pro- 
duced on  good  benched  plants.  Some 
bottom  heat  is  helpful  and  the  plants  do 
not  need  any  shading  during  summer. 
If  freely  syringed,  carefully  syringed,' 
the  surface  soil  kept  stirred  and  not  al- 
lowed to  become  wet  and  slimy,  the 
plants  will  make  rapid  growth.  Close  the 
house  early  in  the  afternoon,  with  plenty 
of  moisture  to  start  the  plants  along. 
Gradually  ventilate  more  freely  during 
July  and  August.  C.  W. 


VINES  FOR  A  HILLSIDE. 

I  have  a  contract  with  a  party  to 
cover  about  half  an  acre  of  hillside  with 
any  kind  of  vine  of  rapid  growth.  If 
I  can  get  one  suitable  for  the  purpose  it 
will  have  to  be  one  that  will  droop,  or 
grow  downwartl.  About  twelve  to  six- 
teen feet  of  the  lower  or  'bottom  part 
of  tbe  hillside  is  of  a  rocky  and  scaly 
nature,   and   above   that   there   is   about

four  to  six  feet  of  good  soil.  So  there 
is  no  chance  of  planting  from  the  lower 
or  bottom  part;  it  must  be  done  from 
aboAe.  I  grow  several  kinds  of  vines, 
but  none  suitable  for  the  purpose.  I 
should  like  to  get  one  that  is  hardy  and 
runs  about  twenty  feet  or  over.  I  should 
be  pleased  to  hear  of  any  vine  that  has 
the  nature  of  growing  downward,  if 
there  is  such.     I  do  not  know  of  any. 

W.  C.  K. 


Taking  into  consideration  that  rapidity 
of  growth  is  of  much  importance  in  se- 
lecting a  vine  for  the  purpose  stated  in 
the  query,  the  number  of  vines  available 
by  reason  of  their  adaptability  to  the 
conditions  are  somewhat  limited.  Am- 
pelopsis  Veitchii  is  not  commonly  con- 
I   sidered  a  suitable  vine  for  covering  soil 


surface,  tfut  remembering  that  a  consi.l- 
erable  extent  oi  the  space  in  question  i^ 
in  the  nature  of  rock  surface  and  pr^ 
sumably  continuous,  I  think  that  if  Am- 
pelopsis  Veitchii  were  selected  an.i 
planted  in  good  soil  as  near  the  line  oi 
rocks  as  is  consistent  with  an  assurano 
of  sufficient  soil  for  the  roots  to  fee<l 
on,  when  the  vines  get  a  good  start  thev 
will  soon  go  ahead  over  the  rocks  anil 
droop  gracefully,  just  as  desired  by  tlie 
planter. 

Then  comes  the  matter  of  covering  th«' 
soil  surface  at  the  top.  This  can  be  done 
by  planting  Vinca  minor  or  Euonymus 
radicans,  either  of  which  would  be  quite 
appropriate.  Ampelopsis  quinquefolia, 
the  Virginia  creeper,  could  also  be  usetl 
for  the  purpose,  and  the  other  vines,  oi- 
one  of  them,  used  as  suggested  in  con- 
junction with  A.  Veitchii. 

In  case  either  of  those  mentioned  may 
for  some  reason  be  found  unsuitable,- 
Akebia  quinata  may  be  given  some  con- 
sideration. It  is  a  rapid  grower  and  an 
altogether  good  thing  for  covering. 

Again,  we  have  the  vitis  or  grape  vines 
in  variety,  and  from  the  list  might  lie 
found  one  that  would  answer  the  pur- 
pose. I  might  go  on  indefinitely  enum- 
erating things  that  might  be  suitable  and 
still  come  no  nearer  solving  the  problem 
than  when  I  started,  because  presenting 
or  suggesting  so  many  would  be  liable 
to  confuse  the  one  most  interested.  In 
order  to  avoid  such  a  contingency  I  would 
again  suggest  the  consideration  of  one 
or  both  of  the  ampelopsis  mentioned, 
along  with  Vinca  minor.  R.  R. 


NEVYORK. 


The  Market. 


For  nearly  a  month  we  have  had  to 
turn  the  clock  backward.  Even  now  one 
hardly  dares  proclaim  the  actual  opening 
of  spring.  Sunday  was  the  coldest  May 
12  ever  and  as  cold  as  any  May  day  in 
seventy  years.  Very  few  of  us  remember 
it,  but  the  weather  man  can  prove  it  by 
the  records.  Ice  formed  in  the  immediate 
vicinity  of  New  York  and  up  state,  where 
the  violets  grow,  and  in  Rochester,  where 
the  fruit  trees  flourish,  the  snow  was 
deep  and  the  sleighing  excellent.  No 
wonder  wheat  in  Chicago  has  gone  to  a 
dollar.  And  yet  in  a  day  the  transition 
to  summer  has  been  made  and  Monday 
was  as  balmy  and  bright  as  a  day  in 
June.  The  long  ordeal  is  over,  spring 
has  come  (perhaps),  fruit  trees  are  in, 
bloom  and  southern  birds  are  making 
melody  in  the  parks.  Eight  months  of 
snow  and  cold  is  an  unusual  experience 
for  New  Yorkers.  One  of  the  most  seri- 
ous effects  of  the  wintry  spring  is  the 
loss  to  market  men  and  growers  of  early 
vegetables  and  fruits.  Even  the  seeds 
have  not  yet  been  planted  and  in  other 
years  by  this  time  lima  beans  from  New- 
Jersey  have  been  m  the  market.  Twenty 
thousand  May-day  children  celebrated  in 
overcoats  and  overshoes. 

Nevertheless,  in  the  cut  flower  market 
there  has  been  little  complaint  and  prices 
have  held  remarkably  well  in  comparison 
with  other  years  at  similar  dates.  First- 
class  Beauties  readily  have  commanded  25 
cents,  and  G  cents  has  been  easy  for  the 
selected  Maids.  Carnations,  especially, 
are  firm  and  well  above  the  prices  of  a 
year  ago.  With  the  sunshine  and  the 
warmth  will  doubtless  come  the  natural 
retrogression   at  this  seaf«on   rind   before

The  Weekly  Florists'  Review* 


1979 


the  present  week  is  over  doubtless  the 
tendency  will  be  to  lower  averages  in 
almost  every  department. 

The  cold  prolonged  the  violet  shipments 
tar  beyond  the  usual  departure  and  even 
vet  quite  a  daily  shipment  is  made. 
Doubtless  this  week  will  see  the  end  of 
them.  Their  quality  has  been  far  better 
than  expected. 

Another  function  of  public  interest, 
the  Corey-Gilman  wedding  May  13, 
cleaned  out  the  orchid  and  Beauty  whole- 
salers. The  decorations  at  the  Hotel 
(lotham  were  superb  and  limitless.  J.  H. 
Small  &  Sons  were  fortunate  in  having 
the  order.  The  work  ^as  unique  and 
elaborate,  there  being  no  limit  to  the  ex- 
penditure. 

Of  all  other  flowers  there  is  an  abund- 
ance. Peonies,  lilac  and  every  variety  of 
spring  blossom  are  here  and  the  ship- 
ments, local  and  from  the  south,  grow  in 
volume  daily. 

For  June  numberless  weddings  are  al- 
ready booked.  The  outlook  is  encourag- 
ing. 

Qub  Meetin£. 

The  New  York  Florists'  Club  met  at 
the  Hotel  Earlington,  on  West  Twenty- 
seventh  street,  Monday  evening.  May  13. 
Over  fifty  members  were  present.  Presi- 
dent Totty  'in  the  chair.  The  next  and 
last  meeting  of  the  club  for  the  season 
will  be  held  the  second  Monday  in  June, 
at  the  same  place,  and  the  attendance 
will  doubtless  be  very  much  larger  when 
the  convenience  and  comfort  of  the  place 
of  meeting  are  recognized. 

The  suggestions  of  the  trustees,  as  to 
changes  in  the  by-laws,  including  a  life 
membership  to  cost  $1,000,  were  received 
and  will  be  acted  upon  at  the  next  meet- 
ing. The  outing  committee  reported  a 
fund  of  nearly  $500  subscribed,  as  a  foun- 
dation for  the  success  of  the  club's  an- 
nual holiday  July  2.  The  committee  on 
permanent  home  for  the  club  reported 
progress  and  expects  to  have  a  definite 
proposition  to  present  in  June. 

S.  S.  Skidelsky's  essay  on  "The  Na- 
tional Flower  Show"  was  then  read  by 
that  gentleman.  It  is  given  in  full  in 
this  issue  of  the  Review.  It  created  much 
interest  and  enthusiasm  and  a  rising  vote 
of  thanks  attested  the  appreciation  of  all 
present.  The  discussion  which  followed 
was  participated  in  by  a  majority  of 
those  present  and  its  fervor  and  interest 
were  maintained  until  nearly  eleven 
0  'clock. 

P.  O'Mara  spoke  on  flower  shows  from 
a  practical  standpoint,  the  gate  receipts, 
and  of  their  effect  upon  public  taste,  but 
emphasized  the  fact  that  without  exhibi- 
tions development  is  possible  and  that  the 
markets  of  the  big  cities  are  the  main- 
springs of  progress.  He  referred  to  the 
great  work  of  the  Massachusetts  society 
and  its  influence  on  the  whole  land,  the 
teachers  it  has  sent  out  and  the  unselfish- 
ness and  generosity  of  exhibitors.  He 
told  of  New  York's  diflSculties  in  the 
flower  show  line  in  the  past,  but  declared 
New  York  will,  nevertheless,  do  its  share 
in  making  the  Chicago  show  a  national 
success. 

A.  Jaenecke,  of  Floral  Park,  said  the 
failure  of  flower  shows  is  due  to  improper 
consideration  of  the  interests  of  the 
masses.  A.  J.  Guttman  referred  to  the 
need  of  the  support  of  the  leading  metro- 
politan dailies,  similar  to  the  publicity 
given  by  them  to  the  Jiorse,  automobile 
and  other  exhibitions,  whereby  the  co- 
operation of  society  is  insured  and  every- 


body thereby  interested.  Tlie  cause  of 
failure,  he  said,  is  the  lack  of  public  in- 
terest, and  how  to  create  it  is  the  burn- 
ing question.  W.  L.  Wheeler  spoke  in 
behalf  of  professional  management  and 
of  the  desirability  of  the  club  holding  a 
show  in  the  fall  in  connection  with  the 
chrysanthemum  show.  H.  Beaulieu  fol- 
lowed in  a  similar  strain. 

President  Totty  spoke  of  the  success 
of  the  Chicago  show  last  fall  and  the 
wonderful  work  of  the  press  of  that  city, 
which  contributed  so  greatly  to  its  tri- 
umph. Mr.  Burnett  referred  to  the  diffi- 
culty in  interesting  wealthy  suburbanites 
around  New  York.  Mr.  Traendly  sug- 
gested a  guarantee  subscription  of  $250 
by  the  club  in  behalf  of  the  national 
show,  which  Mr.  Birnie  seconded,  and  the 
vote  at  the  next  meeting  to  this  end  will 
doubtless  be  unanimous. 

P.  O'Mara  referred  to  the  lack  of  co-

hesion  in  the  flower  trade  of  New  York, 
to  the  flower  shows  of  the  past,  and  to 
the  need  of  the  name  of  ' '  horticultural ' ' 
society  to  give  power  and  tone  to  the 
organization  fathering  the  venture  in  the 
future. 

Joseph  Manua  discoursed  on  the  best 
methods  whereby  the  support  of  the  mil- 
lionaires could  be  effected.  Harry  Tur- 
ner spoke  of  the  English  national  flower 
shows  and  the  encouragement  given  the 
gardeners  there  and  was  ably  seconded  by 
Mr.  Weston,  of  Hempstead.  Mr.  Hen- 
shaw  spoke  for  the  retail  florists  and  em- 
phasized their  value  and  the  necessity  of 
their  cooperation.  George  M.  Geraghty 
told  of  his  experiences  with  flower  shows 
in  Denver  and  the  methods  whereby  re- 
tailers were  interested  and  their  work 
made  the  leading  attraction  to  the  multi- 
tudes who  attended. 

S.  S.  Skidelsky  referred  to  the  splendid 
influence  of  the  Chicago  retailers  in  the 
last  great  success  there  and  attributed  the 
wonderful  results  largely  to  their  faithful 
and  enthusiastic  devotion.  Mr.  O'Mara 
referred  to  the  lack  of  interest  shown  by 
New  York  retailers  and  Mr.  Guttman 
suggested  plans  whereby  they  might  be 
converted. 

Mr.  Wheeler  moved  the  appointment  of 
a  committee  on  closer  relations  with  the 
New  York  Horticultural  Society,  which 
was  ably  seconded  by  W.  E.  M''.rshall. 


Mr.  Lenker  spoke  of  the  need  of  a  leader 
to  manage  exhibitions  and  referred  to  the 
Hamburg  and  other  European  shows, 
where  profits  of  $20,000  rewarded  the  par- 
ticipants. 

A  field  day  for  the  club  at  Bronx  park  ■ 
on  Saturday  afternoons  was  suggested. 

The  thanks  of  the  club  were  enthusi- 
astically voted  the  Hotel  Earlington  man- 
agement. Caterer  Nugent  and  his  aides 
were  much  in  evidence  as  usual. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Fleischman  Floral  Co.  is  this  week 
opening  its  new  store,  in  the  arcade  of 
the  United  States  Express  Co.  building, 
corner  of  Bector  and  Trinity  place.  It  is 
fitted  up  with  characteristic  Fletacbman 
originality  in  the  height  of  modern  style, 
and  is  sure  to  get  its  share  of  the  good 
business  to  be  done  in  that  locality. 

On  Saturday,  May  11,  at  the  Bronx 
park  museum  building.  Dr.  M.  A.  Howe 
lectured  on  the  ''Flora  and  Scenery  of 
Jamaica,"  and  "The  Recent  Earth- 
quake, ' '  the  lecture  being  illustrated  with 
stereopticon  views.  On  Saturday  of  this 
week  G.  V.  Nash  will  lectur-  on  ' '  Water 
Lilies  and  Aquatic  Plants. ' ' 

The  Cut  Flower  Exchange,  whose  head- 
quarters are  in  the  Coogan  building,  held 
its  adjourned  meeting  Saturday,  May  11, 
and  voted  the  distribution  of  $8,000  sur- 
plus among  its  stockholders,  after  holding 
some  $7,000  in  the  treasury.  There  are 
issued  500  shares  with  a  par  value  of  $50 
and  the  allotment  will  give  each  share- 
holder a  bonus  of  one-half  his  original 
subscription. 

John  Krai,  of  the  Moore,  Hentz  &  Nash 
forces,  is  convalescing  from  an  attack  of 
water  on  the  brain. 

Lewis  G.  Reynolds,  of  Dayton,  O.. 
founder  and  president  of  the  Carnation 
League  of  America,  is  at  the  Hotel  Bres- 
lin.  He  announces  a  steady  growth  to  the 
league  and  speaks  especially  of  the  per- 
sistent work  of  H.  M.  Altick  in  its  be- 
half. 

A.  M.  Henshaw  and  wife  visited  on 
Sunday,  May  12,  their  venerable  uncle, 
Samuel  Henshaw,  of  New  Brighton. 
Staten  Island,  who  is  now  close  to  his 
eightieth  year  and  under  expert  care  for 
a  dangerous  illness,  at  the  Smith  In- 
firmary. Mr.  Henshaw  is  one  of  the 
oldest  and  best  known  gardeners  in  this 
country  and  a  great  favorite  with  all 
who  know  him.  He  has  no  intention  of 
giving  up  the  fight  for  life  and  hopes  are 
still  entertained  for  bis  complete  recov- 
ery. He  especially  asks  that  his  fellow 
members  of  the  New  York  Florists '  Club 
visit  him  at  their  convenience. 

M.  A.  Bowe,  who  presides  "at  the 
heart  of  the  city,"  has  fu^ly  recovered 
from  a  long  and  serious  illness.  Last 
week  he  had  a  large  decoration  at  the 
Engineers'  Club  in  the  Carnegie  build- 
ing. 

The  Brooklyn  florists'  supply  house  of 
Hicks  &  Crawbuck  was  burglarized  last 
week  and  some  of  the  surplus  abstracted 
from  the  safe.  This  is  one  of  the  possi- 
bilities of  prosperity  and  demonstrates 
that  business  is  good  in  the  new  de- 
parture. 

W^illiam  Starke  and  his  traveling  repre- 
sentative are  both  back  from  successful 
visits  to  the  firm's  customers  and  have 
disposed  of  a  large  stock  of  palms,  ever- 
greens and  plants  since  Easter,  shipments 
being  made  as  far  west  as  Rochester  and 
south  as  far  as  Scranton.

One  of  the  diflSculties  of  fumigation 
with  hydrocyanic  acid  gas  is  that  the 
cyanide  of  potassium  is  of  varying 
strength,  even  when  the  druggist  sells  it 
for  the  same  grade.  Call  his  attention 
to  the  necessity  of  being  able  to  depend 
on  him  to  supply  the  same  strength  time 
after  time. 


Special  Notice 

As  Memorial  Day,  May  30,  falls 
on  Thursday,  the  day  the  REVIEW 
ordinarily  is  mailed,  and  the  post-office 
will  be  closed  on  that  day,  that  week's 
edition  will  be  printed  one  day  earlier 
than  usual. 

Adverti&ers  and  correspondents  must 
have  "copy"  in  our  hands  not  later  than 
the  first  mail  Tuesday  morning.  May 
28,  to  be  in  time. 


BOXWOO0  wreaths  will  be  a  good  seller 
for  Memorial  day. 

Ip  you  have  no  printed  letterheads, 
don't  for  even  one  day  put  off  ordering 
them. 

When  you  want  Pacific  coast  special- 
ties, consult  the  Pacific  coast  page  of  the 
Review.  All  the  seasonable  offers  are 
always  to  be  found  there. 

The  next  meeting  and  exhibition  of 
the  American  Peony  Society  will  be  held 
at  the  State  College  of  Agriculture,  Cor- 
nell University,  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  Tuesday 
and  Wednesday,  June  18  and  19,  1907, 

Don  't  let  weeds,  or  grass,  grow  around 
your  greenhouses;  keep  a  cultivated 
breadth,  or  a  close-clipped  lawn  about 
them.  An  ill-kept  place  looks  slovenly 
if  you  are  a  retailer,  and  if  you  are  a 
grower  out  in  the  country  and  think 
looks  don't  count,  you  should  remember 
that  weeds  and  tall  grass  are  a  splendid 
breeding  place  for  all  sorts  of  insect 
pests.     Keep   them   at  a  distance. 

This  is  the  season  of  gardening  in- 
terest and  an  intimation  that  one  has 
something  to  say  on  this  subject  will 
usually  bring  a  prompt  and  cordial  invi- 
tation to  address  civic  improvement 
bodies,  women's  clubs  and  all  sorts  of 
organizations.  A  talk  on  gardening  is 
well  worth  making  before  any  interested 
audience,  if  for  no  other  reason  than 
that  it  is  a  form  of  advertising  of  im- 
mense value  to  any  florist  engaged  in 
retailing  the  output  of  his  greenhouses. 

The  railroads  have  declined  to  give 
the  usual  fare  and  one-third  rate  to  the 
nurserymen  for  their  convention  at  De- 
troit in  June,  stating  that  rate  legisla- 
tion enacted  in  many  states  this  winter  is 
their  reason.  But  where  2  cents  a  mile  is 
the  legal  rate,  it  is  the  same  as  the  fare 
and  a  third  was  under  the  old  rate.  On 
the  S.  A.  F.  meeting  at  Philadelphia  in 
August  no  action  has  as  yet  been  taken, 
but  if  stop-over  privileges  can  be  ar- 
ranged the  Jamestown  Exposition  rates 
will  be  most  favorable. 


THE  DEATH  ROLL. 


Eli  A.  Bronton. 

Eli  A.  Bronson,  aged  81  years,  died 
at  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  May  4.  He  was  for 
many  years  a  resident  of  Geneva,  N.  Y., 
and  was  identified  with  the  upbuilding  of 
the  large  nursery  interests  there.  About 
twelve  years  ago  he  retired  from  a 
partnership  with  S.  W.  Hopkins  because 
of  advancing  age.  Interment  was  at 
Geneva. 


CHICAGO. 

The  Great  Central  Market.    . 

The  weather  has  been  a  pronounced 
factor  in  this  market  for  three  months. 
It  was  responsible  for  the  enormous  glut 
in  March,  and  the  sudden  change  to  cold 
in  April  produced  a  shortening  of  sup- 
ply all  through  the  Chicago  territory, 
which  held  prices  for  the  month  of  April 
at  a  higher  average  than  has  been  real- 
ized in  any  April  in  recent  years.  There 
were  fair  supplies  in  the  first  ten  days 
of  May  and  the  reappearance  of  spring 
produced  a  great  inundation  of  cut 
flowers.  May  13  the  official  thermometer 
registered  87  degrees  and  the  influx  of 
stock  was  ahead  of  the  requirements  of 
the  market. 

Roses  came  in  by  the  thousands  and 
were,  at  the  first  of  this  week,  consid- 
erably in  excess  of  what  the  legitimate 
demand  would  consume.  The  call  for 
short  stock  for  funeral  purposes,  which 
has  been  such  a  pronounced  feature  of 
the  market  conditions  for  the  last  three 
Aveeks,  has  subsided,  and  the  short  roses 
have  gone  back  to  their  normal  position. 
They  can  only  be  cleared"  out  by  means 
of  bargain  sales.  With  nearly  all  grow- 
ers the  average,  quality  of  crops  is  so 
good  that  there  are  fine  roses  to  be  had 
at  cheap  prices.  Maid  is  in  larger  sup- 
ply than  Bride.  Red  roses  are  in  good 
demand,  but  the  price  of  Beauties  has 
fallen.  With  other  varieties,  there  is  lit- 
tle sale  for  short  Beauties. 

The  production  of  carnations  was  ac- 
celerated along  with  that  of  roses.  The 
cool  weather  has  caused  the  carnations  to 
be  of  better  quality  than  usual  at  the 
middle  of  May.  There  now  are  enough 
of  all  colors  and  so  many  white  that 
these  are  hanging  on  wholesalers'  hands 
and  prices  all  along  the  line  have  been 
shaded  materially.  Carnations  have  been 
stiff  in  price  for  weeks. 

There  are  large  receipts  of  miscellane- 
ous flowers.  Peonies  are  a  daily  item  of 
stock  and  cape  jasmine  is  along  from 
the  south.  Many  additional  growers  are 
marketing  sweet  peas.  They  continue  to 
be  one  of  the  best  selling  items,  but 
prices  have  fallen  except  on  the  finest. 
There  are  abundant  supplies  of  Easter 
lilies  and  oallas,  and  the  arrival  of  some 
outdoor  valley  has  eased  the  market  on 
this  specialty.  Considerable  outdoor 
bulbous  stock  also  is  received,  especially 
poets'  narcissi,  A  few  violets  still  are 
received,  but  of  poor  quality,  and  at 
this  late  date  no  one  wants  them.  Pansies 
and  daisies  are  abundant  and  anyone  who 
wants  irises,  snapdragons,  gladioli,  stocks 
or  swainsona  can  be  accommodated.  Out- 
door lilac,  which  was  abundant  at  this 
season  last  year,  is  not  in  the  market. 

There  is  an  excellent  demand  for  green 
goods.  Smilax  is  scarce  with  most  of 
the  growers,  but  everything  else  is  abun- 
dant. Those  who  are  fortunate  in  hav- 
ing good  ferns  find  a  big  demand  at 
strong  prices. 

Tuesday  was  a  warm  day,  but  Wednes- 
day it  turned  cold  again.  Cold  weather 
will  stiffen  the  market  but  warm  days  are 
needed  to  make  a  big  supply  for  Me- 
morial day. 

Memorial  Day. 

The  prospect  for  supplies  for  Memorial 
day  is  the  principal  theme  of  discussion 
in  the  wholesale  market.  For  several 
years  there  has  been  a  marked  increase 
in   the  quantity  of  flowers   required  for

Mention  The  Review  when  you  write. 


May  30,  and,  as  no  great  number  of  out- 
door flowers  are  expected  to  be  avail- 
able this  year,  a  still  further  increase  is 
anticipated.  In  fact,  a  large  number  of 
inquiries  already  have  been  received  from 
buyers  who  ask  prices  on  large  lots.  The 
indications  are  that  there  will  be  an 
abundance  of  roses.  With  favorable 
weather  there  will  be  a  good  supply  of 
carnations,  but  wholesalers  are  not  will- 
ing to  book  advance  orders  for  carnations 
except  at  an  open  price  or  at  an  advance 
over  last  year.  Of  miscellaneous  flowers 
there  will  be  large  supplies  and,  except 
for  carnations,  no  special  advance  in 
prices  is  anticipated. 

Peony  Prospects. 

There  are  only  two  or  three  sources  of 
supply  for  early  peonies.  These  are  now 
sending  in  larger  quantities  than  the 
market  requires,  with  other  stock  so  plen- 
tiful, and  the  peonies  are  going  into  cold 
storage  for  Memorial  day.  The  quality 
of  the  stock  is  not  up  to  last  year,  due 
to  the  cold  weather,  which  has  apparently 
resulted  in  shorter  stems  and  smaller 
flowers  than  usual,  but  the  first  blooms 
never  are  up  to  the  later  ones.  Advices 
are  to  the  effect  that  while  the  early 
crops  will  be  small,  there  will  bo  enough 
to  go  around  at  Memorial  day  and  an 
abundance  after  that. 

Louis  Winterson  Goes  West. 

Louis  H.  Winterson  will  leave  the  E. 
F.  Winterson  Co.  May  25  and  about  June 
1  will  depart,  with  Mrs.  Winterson  and 
Iheir  household  appurtenances,  for  Seat- 
tle, Wash.,  where  they  will  make  their 
home.     Mr.  Winterson  goes  west  to  take 


charge  of  the  office  end  for  a  firm  of 
(/hicago  brothers  who  are  going  into 
business  at  Seattle,  backed  by  ample 
capital.  It  is  a  proposition  which  sim- 
ply looked  to  be  too  good  to  pass  up. 
Ix)uis  Winterson  has  been  associated  with 
the  E.  F.  Winterson  Co.  for  a  number 
of  years  and,  while  all  will  rejoice  in 
his  good  fortune,  his  departure  will  be 
regretted  by  many,  for  he  is  one  of  the 
best-liked  young  men  in  the  market. 
Prior  to  last  December  he  was  secretary 
of  the  Chicago  Florists'  Club. 

Qub  Will  Advertise. 

At  its  meeting  May  9,  the  Chicago 
Florists'  Club  appropriated  a  sum  of 
money  for  the  employment  of  a  press 
agent  to  see  what  can  be  done  in  the 
way  of  securing  publicity  for  the  trade 
in  the  local  newspapers. 

There  was  a  long  discussion  of  adver- 
tising, particularly  as  affecting  the  re- 
tail business.  There  was  unanimous  opin- 
ion that  all  kinds  of  advertising  are 
good,  but  that  newspaper  advertising  is 
best.  A  number  of  the  members  told  of 
the  far  reaching  and  lasting  effects  of 
some  of  the  advertising  they  have  done. 
The  idea  of  the  club  in  appointing  a 
committee  consisting  of  C.  Frauenfeld- 
er,  Louis  Wittbold  and  a  newspaper 
man  to  advise  with  a  press  agent  is  to 
secure  the  insertion  in  the  daily  papers 
of  seasonable  articles  suggestive  of  the 
way  flowers  and  plants  may  be  used.  It 
is  certain  that  interesting  articles  of 
this  character  wilkbe  a  great  education- 
al factor  and  result  in  a  much  larger  use 
of  flowers.  The  club's  appropriation  is 
necessarilv  a  small  one.  It  will  suffice  for 


a  few  weeks'  trial.  If  the  trade  is 
pleased  with  the  work,  it  will  shortly  be 
necessary  to  provide  for  its  continuance 
through  private  subscription. 

A  communication  was  read  from  Ben- 
jamin Hammond,  secretary  of  the  Bose 
Society,  with  regard  to  preliminary  ar- 
rangements for  the  rose  show  next 
March.  A  committee  consisting  of  Aug- 
ust Poehlmann,  Leonard  Kill  and  Philip 
Schupp  was  appointed  to  work  out  the 
details. 

Forty  Years  Later. 

Andrew  McAdams  has  been  located  in 
Hyde  Park  since  1869  and  in  all  that 
time,  he  says,  he  never  has  seen  a  season 
so  unfavorable  as  this.  Although  bed- 
ding out  along  the  lake  never  can  be 
started  before  May  20,  he  is  badly 
crowded  because  it  has  not  been  safe  to 
move  the  young  stock  outside  to  make 
the  usual  space  for  the  plants  shortly  to 
be  sold.  As  a  result  the  geraniums  and 
other  plants  are  becoming  drawn.  Mr. 
McAdams  prides  himself  on  growing  his 
4-inch  geraniums  just  a  shade  better  than 
anyone  else  in  town  and  always  has  sale 
at  $2  a  dozen  for  more  than  he  grows. 
He  has  them  now  in  good  bloom.  Mr. 
McAdams  says  that  he  has  found  noth- 
ing to  beat  S.  A.  Nutt.  A  variety  grown 
quite  largely,  called  Mary  McAdams, 
originated  on  the  place  several  years  ago. 
It  is  a  robust  plant,  carrying  big  trusses 
of  blooms,  the  individual  flowers  of  re- 
markable size.  The  color  is  hard  to  de- 
scribe; Mr.  McAdams  calls  it  cerise,  or 
salmon  scarlet.  He  sells  this  variety 
at  $3  a  dozen. 

Mr.   McAdams   has   a  bench   of    ferns

planted  out:  Boston,  Elegantissima,  and 
Whitmani.  He  says  he  thinks  the  latter 
an  especially  line  thing,  but  calls  atten- 
tion to  the  greater  growth  the  Boston 
has  made  than  any  of  the  others.  They 
all  had  an  even  start. 

Selaginollas,  pterises,  etc.,  for  dishes 
are  about  the  only  plants  Mr.  McAdams 
wholesales,  small  ferns  being  one  of  his 
most  successful  specialties. 

Speaking  of  the  value  of  real  estate 
in  his  locality,  Mr.  McAdams  said  that 
the  whole  neighborhood  was  a  slough  in 
1869.  Now  it  is  about  the  best  part  of 
Hyde  Park,  but  land  is  not  worth  as 
much  there  as  in  1893. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Stella  Tonner  and  Leslie  Elli- 
thorpe  were  married  Saturday  afternoon, 
May  11,  at  the  home  of  the  bride's  par- 
ents. Her  sister,  Miss  A.  L.  Tonner, 
was  bridesmaid,  and  her  brother,  Walter 
Tonner,  was  best  man.  There  were 
thirty-five  guests.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Elli- 
thorpe  departed  Saturday  evening  for 
fiussell,  Kan.,  where  the  groom  farms  on 
an  extensive  scale.  A  touch  of  romance 
is  given  the  affair  by  the  fact  that  the 
couple  had  known  each  other  but  a  few 
weeks,  ^Ir.  Ellithorpe  having  recently 
come   to    Chicago    to    visit   a   relative   in 


whose    family    Miss    Tonner    gave    violin 
lessons.     He  is  considerably  her  senior. 

All  the  growers  are,  or  have  been,  busy 
planting  carnations  in  the  field.  Several 
have  finished  the  "task  and  the  others  are 
putting  on  all  possible  pressure.  In  many 
instances  the  soil  was  not  as  moist  as 
the  planters  would  like,  but  some  big 
fields  have  been  jnit  out.  .»lore  carna- 
tions than  ever  before  will  be  grown 
under  glass  all  summer,  many  having 
already  been  benched.  Quite  a  few  rose 
houses  have  been  replanted,  particularly 
with  Beauties,  and  after  Memorial  day 
this  work  will  be  proceeded  with  in  earn- 
est. 

Poehlmanu  Bros.  Co.  is  cutting  Chate- 
ney  roses  with  stems  five  feet  long;  but 
their  Chatenay  sport,  named  ^lorton 
Grove,  has  a  better  color.  They  are 
planting  this  variety  largely  and  will  in- 
troduce it  next  season,  selling  stock  at  a 
low  price  to  induce  wide  distribution. 
They  planted  a  field  of  200,000  carna- 
tion plants  in  five  days  last  week.  The 
present  crop  of  Easter  lilies  is  much  the 
best  so  fat  cut  this  year. 

C.  A.  Samuelson  had  the  family  order 
for  the  Albert  Keep  funeral  May  14, 
using  quite  a  quantity  of  cattleyas,  which 
fortunately  were  in  good  supply  at  Mc- 
Kellar's,    a   fine    crop    ot    Mossia;    being 


now  on.  Wienhoeber  and  other  leading 
retailers  also  had  some  good  orders  for 
the  Keep  funeral. 

A  combination  not  often  seen  was  a 
table  in  the  cut  flower  department  of 
Ihe  E.  F.  Winterson  Co.  Monday.  It 
carried  violets  and  cape  jasmine.  The 
one  was  from  Rhinebeck,  X.  Y.,  and  the 
other  from  Alvin,  Tex. ;  a  case  of  ex- 
tremes meeting. 

John  Evert  has  planted  one  house  witii 
October  Frost  and  another  with  Cleinen- 
tine  Touset  chrysanthemums.  He  is 
counting  on  profiting  by  a  good  early 
market,  such  as  we  had  last  autumn. 

A.  L.  Vaughan,  of  Vaughan  &  Sperry, 
says  the  firm  has  advices  from  a  grower 
in  central  Illinois  that  peonies  will  be 
ready  just  in  time  for  Memorial  day. 

C.  L.  Washburn  calls  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  first  commencements  each 
year  are  those  of  the  dental  colleges,  held 
this  week.  Strange  as  it  may  seem,  some 
people  always  are  to  be  found  to  send 
flowers  to  tooth-pullers. 

Leonard  Kill  says  he  cannot  remember 
a  time  when  so  large  a  part  of  Peter 
Reinberg's  place  has  been  in  full  crop 
at  one  time.  All  the  houses,  except  those 
just  replanted,  are  giving  heavy  cuts. 

Arnold  Ringier  says  he  had  an  es- 
pecially good   trip  to   the   coast   for  the

We  began  cutting  May  10,  and  have  between 
200,000  and  300,000  flowers  to  dispose  of.  Our  bushes 
are  in  fine,  healthy  condition  and  we  believe  we  shall  have  the 
best  stock  ever  put  on  the  market.  We  oversee  our  own  packing 
and  cull  out  poor,  bad  foliaged  buds.  The  illustration  in  this 
advertisement  is  1-16  the  real  size  of  the  buds.  The  flowers  are 
waxy  white,  with  a  delightful  fragrance,  which  is  retained  after 
shipping.  The  foliage  is  a  dark,  glossy  green.  They  carry  well 
to  all  parts  of  United  States.

W.  W.  Barnard  Co.  He  returned  last

on  any  previous  trip. 

P.  Broadbeck  has  the  gutters  up  for 
the  range  of  new  houses  he  is  building 
at  Evanston. 

E.  F.  Winterson  has  not  been  his 
usual  jovial  self  this  week,  because  of 
neuralgia  in  his  face,  but  he  has  been  on 
deck  as  usual. 

Bassett  &  Washburn  say  they  cut  15,- 
000  roses  last  Sunday. 

At  E.  H.  Hunt's  C.  M.  Dickinson  says 
the  demand  for  To-bak-ine  products  has 
become  world  wide,  a  large  order  having 
been  received  this  week  from  a  leading 
London  jobber  in  horticultural  supplies. 

E.  C.  Amling  says  the  call  for  hardy

remembers  it  to  have  been.  All  the 
houses  are  selling  boxwood  in  large  quan- 
tities. 

E.  Fransen  reports  that  Scheiden  & 
Sehoos  are  sold  out  of  young  stock  of 
roses  and  carnations  and  have  had  a  good 
season. 

The  Kennieott  Bros.  Co.  is  putting  in 
a  wood  floor  to  cover  the  cement  one  in 
its  new  store. 

Mrs.  Frank  Beu  says  the  annual  de- 
mand for  vincas  has  begun  on  time. 

George  Reinberg  has  had  a  represen- 
tative of  the  Julius  Eoehrs  Co.,  Ruther- 
ford, N.  J.,  here  this  week  to  see  the 
big  shipments  of  orchids  after  their  long 
journey  and  to  advise  as  to  how  to  handle 
this  new  department  of  the  business. 

Miss  Martha  Gunterberg,  in  the  Grow- 
ers' Market,  says  she  thinks  too  many 
white  carnations  are  grown.  She  says 
she  finds  that  almost  always  colored  sorts 
bring  better  prices  than  white. 

Wietor  Bros,  will  grow  a  large  part  of 
their  Lawson  carnations  indoors  all  sum- 
mer this  season,  having  had  fine  results 
with  those  so  treated  last  season. 

The  florists  ball  team  found  an  easy 
game  at  Wa.shington  park  last  Sunday. 
A  challenge  has  been  issued  to  the  team 
of  employees  of  the  Poehlmann  Bros  Co. 


to  be  played  at  Morton  Grove.  The 
Poehlmann  team  also  won  an  easy  vic- 
tory last  Sunday. 

J.  Hamlin,  who  was  with  the  River- 
bank  Nurseries,  at  Geneva,  has  left  to  go 
to  Denver  to  go  into  business  with  a 
brother. 

There  is  a  good  display  of  tulips  in 
each  of  the  parks  and  the  beds  will  be 
about  at  their  best  next  Sunday,  al- 
though there  is  rather  more  difference 
than  usual  in  the  flowering  dates  of  the 
several  varieties. 

J,  F.  Klimmer  says  the  cold  nights 
have  made  him  sweat.  The  reason  for  it 
is  that  he  has  for  more  than  a  fortnight 
had  several  thousands  of  the  new  varie- 
ties of  carnations,  that  cost  him  10  cents 
apiece,  planted  in  the  field.  Several 
nights  the  temperature  has  been  down  to 
the  danger  point.  On  the  worst  of  the 
nights  he  has  covered  a  large  part  of  the 
stock  with  flower  pots,  although  it  was 
not  possible  in  a  day  to  put  the  pots  on 
all  of  them  and  get  them  off  again  next 
day.  He  says  the  work  of  bedding  out  in 
the  cemeteries  adjoining  his  place  is 
about  two  weeks  later  than  usual  in 
starting  this  year. 

Leopold  Koropp  says  that  business  is 
excellent;  in  fact,  that  he  has  more  work 
than  he  can  do,  especially  outdoor  jobs. 
He  recently  has  issued  a  neat  booklet  for 
telephone  numbers  for  distribution 
among  his  customers,  as  he  finds  a  large 
part  of  his  business  comes  by  phone,  re- 
quiring two  instruments. 

Robert  Newcomb,  who  came  to  Chicago

the  Central  Floral  Co.  and  others,  is 
now  located  at  Oakland,  Cal.,  with 
Clarke  Bros.,  who  recently  have  opened 
a  fine  new  store  there. 

H.  N.  Brims  says  he  has  had  an  ex- 
cellent season  thus  far.  There  has  been 
an  excellent  demand  for  valley,  with  only 
a  brief  period  of  oversupply.  He  looks 
for  good  business  through  May  and  June.

The  Market. 


Business  has  been  slow,  with  cut  flow- 
ers abundant  in  all  lines.  Funerals  and 
a  few  early  commencements  for  young 
doctors  make  about  the  only  work  that 
is  going  on  among  the  retailers.  Of 
course,  the  greenh.ouse  men  are  exceed- 
ingly busy  just  now,  taking  care  of  out- 
door planting  orders  which  have  been 
piled  up,  waiting  for  seasonable  weather. 

The  wholesalers  are  having  a  busy 
time  getting  rid  of  stock  that  is  left 
over  after  the  morning's  sales,  and  all 
their  ice-boxes  are  full.  Roses  are  a 
great  glut  and  there  is  no  stable  price. 
Long,  fancy  Beauties  are  so  plentiful 
that  a  great  many  have  been  going  to 
waste. 

Carnations  have  been  scarce  for  a  long 
time,  but  are  now  plentiful  and  no  doubt 
will  soon  be  a  glut.  The  stock  is  fine 
and  prices  low.  Harrisii  and  calla  lilies, 
too,  are  many  more  than  the  trade  can 
use.  Outdoor  valley  has  crowded  the  in- 
door valley,  as  it  is  much  cheaper.  Sweet 
peas  are  becoming  more  abundant  each 
day.  The  lighter  shades  are  selling  well, 
but  cheaply.  A  great  deal  of  outdoor 
stock  is  now  coming  in,  such  as  peonies,

snowballs,  cape  jasmine,  irises  and  dai-

are  still  high  in  price.  All  other*  greens 
are  well  within  reach. 

Qub  Meetin£. 

The  Florists'  Club  held  its  regular 
monthly  meeting  May  9.  It  was  grati- 
fying to  the  officers  to  see  such  a  large 
attendance  at  a  May  meeting,  as  usually 
this  meeting  is  poorly  attended  owing 
to  the  rush  of  the  planting  season.  Twen- 
ty-one members  were  in  attendance  when 
President  Irish  called  to  order,  and  all 
the  other  officers  responded  to  their 
names  during  roll  call. 

The  trustees  reported,  through  Chair- 
man Smith,  that  all  arrangements  have 
been  made  for  the  club's  celebration 
June  29.  This  being  Saturday  night,  a 
large  delegation  will  be  in  attendance. 
Invitations  will  be  sent  to  all  the  mem- 
bers. 

The  trustees  were  instructed  to  make 
arrangements  for  the  club's  annual  pic- 


nic, during  July,  and  to  make  a  report 
at  the  June  meeting.  The  treasurer's  re- 
port showed  that  the  club 's  treasury  is 
in  a  healthy  condition. 

Theodore  G.  Brown  was  elected  to 
membership  and  the  application  of  Con- 
rad Bergsterman  was  received. 

The  question  box  brought  out  nine 
questions,  which  made  tilings  interesting, 
especially  on  the  question  of  fumigation, 
which  was  discussed  by  J.  F.  Ammann, 
Prof.  Irish  and  Mr.  Fulgraf.  This  the 
president  will  have  continued  at  the  next 
meeting.  The  membership  of  the  club 
has  again  reached  100. 

Various  Notes. 

Owing  to  the  cold  and  wet  weather,  the 
spring  flower  show  of  the  Engelmann 
Botanical  Club  has  been  postponed  for 
two  weeks. 

Carl  Beyer  has  taken  off  a  big  slice 
of  his  surplus  avoirdupois  and  looks  as 
trim  as  a  spring  chicken.  He  will  soon 
be  back  to  bowling  form.     He  once  was 


known  as  king  among  the  florist  bowlers. 

Frank  A.  Weber  is  making  prepara- 
tions for  a  large  party  to  go  from  here 
to  Detroit  for  the  convention  of  the 
American  Association  of  Nurserymen, 
which  will  be  held  June  12  to  14. 

The  planting  season  has  at  last  opened. 
A  few  warm  days  last  week  brought  out 
a  large  force  of  men,  planting  in  the 
city  parks.  So  far  everything  is  looking 
fine.  The  planting  will  be  under  the 
supervision  of  Superintendent  George 
Ostertag,  who  had  his  plans  laid  out  for 
this  work  a  month  ago. 

George  Schriefer,  at  C.  A.  Kuehn's, 
has  the  sympathy  of  the  trade  in  the 
loss  of  his  father,  who  died  May  12. 

Tred  Papo  did  a  fine  job  in  bedding 
at  the  Forest  park  highlands. 

At  Delmar  Garden  the  bedding  is  done 
under  the  supervision  of  W.  C.  Young, 
of  C.  Young  &  Sons  Co.,  who  have  the 
contract.

cut  flowers  were  donated  by  the  whole- 
salers and  retailers,  which  brought  big 
prices.  The  wealthy  society  ladies  had 
booths  all  over  the  garden. 

The  preliminary  list  for  the  St.  Louis 
Horticultural  Society's  fall  flower  show 
has  been  issued.  It  carries  the  usual 
Shaw  premiums,  amounting  to  .$500,  in- 
cluding the  Henry  Shaw  gold  medal. 
The  other  premiums  for  chrysanthemums, 
carnations,  roses  and  floral  designs 
amount  to  $1,036,  making  a  total  of 
$1,536  for  premiums  for  the  show.

The  Market. 

"We  are  unable  to  speak  enthusiastic- 
ally of  the  market  at  present.  Weather 
has  remained  unseasonably  cold,  with 
much  of  it  damp  and  dark,  but  far  more 
material  has  arrived  than  was  needed. 
Probably  v-armer  and  brighter  weather 
might  stimulate  purchases,  but  the  close 
approach  of  'Memorial  day  will  tend  to 
brace  up  prices,  temporarily  at  least. 
Boses  are  in  abundant  supply  and  many 
have  to  be  cleared  at  quite  low  figures. 
Carnations  vary  from  $1  to  $3  per  hun- 
(ire'd,  a  few  fancies  going  higher.  A  few 
double  violets  are  still  arriving  of  good 
quality  for.  the  sea.son.  Sweet  peas  are 
in  heavy  supply>  but  are  good  selling 
flowers.  The  colors  are  right.  Bulbous 
stock  is  again  overabundant,  a  lot  of 
outdoor  stock  being  now  available  in 
tulips  and  narcissi.  Spanish  iris  is  of 
good  quality  and  sells  fairly  well.  Gladi- 
oli are  quite  abundant.  There  are  the 
usual  quantities  of  marguerites,  antir- 
rhinums and  other  flowers. 

Green  stock  is  of  good  quality,  with 
little  change  except  in  the  case  of  hardy 
green  ferns,  which  are  arriving  much 
better.

On  invitation  of  General  S.  M.  Weld, 
president  of  the  Massachusetts  Horti-

board,  past  and  present,  visited  and  were 
entertained  by  him  May  11.  The  mem-

at  11:48  and  on  arrival  at  Dedham  were 
taken  in  carriages  to  General  Weld's

ing  off  beautifully.  The  estate  comprises 
about  1,000  acres,  the  mansion  standing 
on  the  crest  of  the  highest  elevatfon.  The 
land  is  naturally  rocky  and  no  attempt 
at  formal  gardening  has  been  attempted, 
but  tlie  rocks  and  ravines,  with 
streamlets  and  ponds,  have  been  utilized 
for  an  extensive  system  of  alpine  and 
natural  gardening,  the  winding  paths  dis- 
closing fresh  objects  to  excite  interest 
and  admiration  at  every  turn.  Bulbs  of 
many  kinds,  trilliuras,  dwarf  phloxes, 
hepaticas,  mertensias,  anemones,  ranun- 
culi, myosotis  and  other  suitable  plants 
are  now  blooming  and  will  be  followed 
by  scores  of  other  varieties,  many  of 
which  are  rare  and  unique.  The  collec- 
tion of  coniferae  and  the  greenhouses 
were  later  inspected.  The  latter  contain 
roses,  carnations,  grapes,  peaches  and 
miscellaneous  stock.  The  conservatory 
attached  to  the  mansion  was  gay  with 
well  grown  schizanthus,  Canterbury  bells, 
azaleas,  herbaceous  calceolarias  and 
other  seasonable  flowers,  while  near  by 
beds  were  brilliant  with  tulips,  narcissi 


and  hyacinths.  General  Weld  and 
Thomas  Coles,  his  head  gardener,  have 
accomplished  splendid  results  in  tlie  last 
few  years  and  still  have  unbounded  scope 
in  which  to  develop.  The  party  reached 
Boston  on  the  return  trip  after  a  most 
delightful,  interesting  and  instructive 
afternoon  's  outing. 

Various  Notes. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  Gardeners' 
and  Florists'  Club  will  occur  at  Horti- 
cultural hall,  on  the  evening  of  May  21. 
In  lieu  of  a  regular  lecture  there  will  be 
ten-minute  talks  by  three  members  of  the 
club,  on  "Bulbs  as  Bedding  Plants," 
' '  Herbace-ous  Plants  for  Bedding  Pur- 
poses, ' '  and  * '  Tender  Bedding  Plants. ' ' 
There  will  be  interesting  exhibits  of  sea- 
sonable  flowers  and   other  attractions. 

Owing  to  the  unusually  cold  season, 
double  violets  of  excellent  quality  are 
still  arriving  in  the  markets,  those  from 
Thomas  Pegler,  of  Wallaston,  and  South- 
worth,  of  West  Stoughton,  being  spe- 
cially good. 


Trade  m  bedding  plants  is  late  in 
starting.  Some  growers  have  not  brought 
in  a  plant  yet.  It  looks  at  this  time  as 
though  lilac,  Darwin  and  other  late-flow- 
ering tulips.  Narcissus  poeticus  and  out- 
door valley  would  all  be  available  for 
Memorial  day  trade.  As  a  rule  they  are 
on  the  wane  at  that  date. 

Interest  in  the  club  picnic  is  begin- 
ning to  show  itself.  The  married  men 
are  this  year  determined  to  beat  the 
bachelors  at  baseball.  We  hear  rumors 
that  the  commercial  growers,  remember- 
ing last  year's  experience,  have  secured 
an  option  on  a  steel  hawser  to  assist  in 
pulling  the  private  gardeners  over  the 
picnic  grounds.  A  record  entry  is  prom- 
ised for  the  fat  men's  race. 

Seed  merchants  report  a  dragging  sea- 
son, which  promises  also  to  be  a  long 
one.  The  unusually  cold  and  danip 
spring  ha.s  lessened  sales  to  some  cus- 
tomers, but  the  aggregate  promises  to 
equal  last  year's,  if  it  does  not  sur- 
pass it.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Rising  Eastern  Market 

Immense  quantities  of  flowers  are  sold 
daily,  but  larger  quantities  are  received. 
This  about  covers  the  situation.  Business 
is  good  for  the  season,  quality  generally 
all  that  could  be  desired,  where  stock  has 
been  given  intelligent  care.  Beauties  are 
plentiful,  fine,  and  in  fair  demand.  There 
is  no  special  demand  for  Liberty  and 
Richmond.  The  quality  is  better  than 
anything  ever  seen  before  in  this  market 
in  May.  The  second  crop  of  Kaiserin  is 
in  full  supply.  Outdoor  valley  has  made 
its  appearance,  depreciating  the  indoor- 
grown  stock.  Sweet  peas  have  fallen  off 
in  quality,  owing  to  the  dark  weather  of 
last  week.  Two  new  orchids,  Cattleya 
gigas  and  Laelia  purpurata,  have  rein- 
forced Cattleya  Mossia)  this  week.  Vio- 
lets are  over.  Their  seaaon  has  been  a 
month  longer  than  usual.  Some  wild  vio- 
lets are  seen.  Jersey  lilac  is  plentiful 
but  not  ?n  demand.  White  carnations 
still  far  exceed  the  colored  varieties  in 
numbers.  The  supply  of  callas  has  de- 
creased. Harrisii  lilies  are  in  fair  de- 
mand. The  demand  for  smilax  has  fallen 
off ;  prices  are  receding.  Snapdragon  has 
never  been  finer  than  this  spring.  It  is 
still  of  excellent  quality,  and  is  in  de- 
mand. Dagger  ferns  are  scarce  and  sell- 
ing well. 

Phil  Visits  Mr.  Leonard's. 

The  visits  made  by  florists  to  members 
of  their  own  profession  may  be  divided

florist;  social  calls  by  the  lesser  florist 
.on  the  greater,  and  then  the  latter  is 
free  to  return  the  call  at  his  discretion. 
This  question  of  rank  is  complex.  It  is 
often  most  difficult  to  determine  who 
should  pay  the  first  visit  between  a  given 
pair  of  florists,  as  there  is  no  tribunal 
to  decide  points  of  floral  etiquette.  Many 
calls  are  unfortunately  never  made.  I 
say  unfortunately,  because  an  exchange 
of  ideas  is  one  of  the  greatest  blessings 
to  the  hardworking  florist. 

Now  it  happened  at  a  meeting  of  the 
Florists'  Club  that  William  A.  Leonard 
met  Phil  and,  after  a  pleasant  chat, 
cordially  invited  him  to  call.  Phil,  be- 
ing hazy  as  to  who  should  call  first,  re- 
plied: "With  pleasure,  and  you  must 
come  and  sec  me. "  So  it  stood  for  some 
time  until  the  Dickson  banquet,  when 
these  courtesies  were  substantially  re- 
peated. Neither  would  give  in  on  this 
delicate  point.  They  met  again  at  Wash- 
ington in  March.  Mr.  Leonard  was  so 
cordial  that  Phil  decided  to  give  in,  a 
decision  the  more  easily  made  because 
Mr.  Leonard  had  asked  to  be  in- 
troduced at  the  aforesaid  Florists'  Club

dozen  houses,  or,  if  you  prefer  to  call  it

sen  Co.  has  lately  been  receiving  heavy 
shipments  containing  a  good  proportion 
of  high  grade  blooms. 

A  most  interesting  feature  of  the  place 
is  that  a  definite  purpose  has  been  stead- 
ily kept  in  view  through  every  detail  of 
construction  and  management. 

The  May  Meeting. 

President  Pennock  called  a  large  gath- 
ering of  Florists'  Club  members  to  order 
May  7.  The  important  committee  report 
was  made  by  Charles  D.  Ball,  who  said 


the  finances  for  the  August  convention 
of  the  national  society  are  in  a  flourish- 
ing condition;  contributions  are  coming 
in  at  an  encouraging  rate.  The  report 
of  William  Graham,  for  the  bowling  com- 
mittee, was  read  by  the  secretary.  It 
provided  for  a  series  of  games  to  be 
rolled  to  decide  the  membership  in  the 
team  to  represent  this  city  in  the  na- 
tional tournament.  All  members  desiring 
to  compete  should  notify  Mr.  Graham. 
The  resignation  of  Edwin  Lonsdale,  sec- 
retary of  the  club,  was  again  presented 
and  this  time  accepted,  with  sincere  re- 
gret. David  Rust  was  unanimously 
elected  to  fill  the  vacancy. 

J.  Otto  Thilow  delivered  his  paper  in 
fine  style,  receiving  hearty  applause. 

Alphonse  Pericat,  of  CoUingdale,  ex- 
hibited a  spike  of  Cattleya  gigas  San- 
deriana  of  great  size,  its  beautiful  flow- 
ers being  much  admired. 


Samuel  Batchelor,  gardener  to  Clement 
B.  Newbold,  Jenkintown,  exhibited  some 
fine  pelargoniums. 

Soft  Wooded  Plants. 

The  oldest  gardener  has  been  aston- 
ished by  the  weather  this  month.  There 
was  ice  Sunday  morning.  May  12,  when 
everybody  tells  you  geraniums  are  per- 
fectly safe  outdoors  after  May  10.  The 
geraniums  that  were  planted  out  last 
week  look  most  unhappy  now.  Despite 
this  bad  start,  the  bedding  season  is 
opening  in  earnest.  There  are  many 
window-boxes  going  up  in  the  city  and 
in  the  suburbs.  There  are  beds  to  be 
filled,  and  porch-boxes  are  now  being 
filled  in  the  greenhouse.  An  early  Easter 
and  a  late  spring  are  most  favorable  for 
the  class  of  florists  who  grow  this  class 
of  stock,  and  indications  point  to  an  ex- 
cellent season. 

Various  Notes. 

William  H.  Ferguson  &  Son  have 
bought  the  building  at  1208  Spring  Gar- 
den street,  near  their  present  store.  They 
will  move  their  retail  florists'  business 
to  the  new  building  this  summer. 

William  J.  Moore  joined  the  forces  of 
the  S.  S.  Pennock-Meehan  Co.  last  Mon- 
day. 

Godfrey  Aschmann  was  elected  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Florists'  Club  at  the  May 
meeting. 

The  Textile  Manufacturers'  convention 
held  in  this  city  Wednesday  and  Thurs- 
day was  attended  by  great  crowds  of  del- 
egates. J.  J.  Habermehl's  Sons  had  the 
decorations  for  an  immense  banquet 
Thursday  evening  at  the  Bellevue-Strat- 
ford,  at  which  there  were  over  800  guests. 
A  feature  of  this  convention  was  the 
large  use  of  cotton  described  in  these 
columns  after  the  Christmas  holidays.  It 
is  a  specialty  with  W.  E.  McKissiek  and 
he  handled  it  in  quantity.  The  packing, 
by  the  way,  of  this  cotton  is  remarkably 
well  done.

WAYSIDE  NOTES. 

Thomas  Love,  of  South  Bethlehem,  Pa., 
is  one  of  the  few  veterans  in  the  profes- 
sion who  can  boast  of  a  record  of  thirty- 
six  years '  continuous  service  in  one  place. 
He  has  just  rounded  out  this  length  of 
time  on  the  beautiful  estate  of  G.  B. 
Linderman  and  has  practically  planted 
every  tree  fJourishing  thereon.  He  looks 
good  for  another  span  of  the  same  length 
of  time. 

Timothy  Hogan,  who  has  charge  of  the 
E.  P.  Wilbur  estate,  grows  annually  a 
grand  lot  of  gloxinias  from  leaf  cut- 
tings. As  decorative  plants  they  are 
gorgeous,  and  while  not  profit.nble  to  grow 
commercially,  a  few  are  fine  for  window 
decoration.  William  Scott,  of  Buffalo, 
has  grown  a  large  number  each  year  and 
sold  them  at  good  prices. 

Ernest  Ashler,  of  Allentown,  Pa.,  has 
a  most  unique  flower  store.  The  sides 
are  covered  with  mirrors  of  various  sizes, 
bordered  with  birch  bark  and  moss. 
Kift's  flower  holders  are  used  to  advan- 
tage. This  end  of  the  business  is  pre- 
sided over  by  his  clever  little  side  part- 
ner, who  keeps  the  boys  hustling  at  the 
greenhouse  end  to  supply  the  stock  nec- 
essary for  a  rapidly  increasing  business. 

A.  B.  Ellsworth,  of  Allentown,  reports 
a  busy  seed  business.  The  backward  sea- 
son has  caused  a  rush  which  will  soon 
be  over. 

F.  Horn  &  Bro.,  of  Allentown,  have  a 
big  stock  of  bedding  plants,  a  leading 
line  with  them. 

Ira  G.  Marvin,  of  Wilkesbarre,  Pa., 
is  reported  as  having  purchased  a  coal 
breaker  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  the 
necessary  fuel  to  heat  his  big  plant.  One 
of  the  largest  electric  signs  I  have  seen 
was  being  erected  at  the  time  of  my  visit.

nursery  business.  Here  can  bo  found 
everything  pertaining  to  floriculture  and 
ornithology.  Something  unique  is  the 
training  of  the  loquacious  parrot,  it  being 
the  special  duty  of  a  clever  lad,  during 
spare  hours,  to  teach  this  bird  how  to 
talk.  Above  the  rush  and  bustle,  follow- 
ing the  stereotyped  "Polly  wants  a 
cracker,"  was  heard  such  remarks  as 
"Clark,  you're  all  right.  There's  no 
flies  on  you." 

James  B.  TuUy,  Binghamton,  N.  Y.,

States  Cut  Flower  Co.,  in  Elmira,  N.  Y. 
Lord  &  Burnham  have  one  of  their  best 
mechanics  on  the  job.  Richard  King 
says  he  will  turn  out  finer  stock  than 
ever  in  this  new  range. 

H.  N.  Hoffman,  of  Elmira,  is  a  busy 
fellow.  Ho  is  on  the  advisory  board  of 
the  Cut  Flower  Co.,  steward  of  the  fine 
estate  of  J.  Sloate  Fassett,  executor  of 
the  big  Hoffman  estate,  a  live  nursery- 
man, fanner  and  florist. 

Frank  Durand  handles  the  local  outplit 
of  the  Cut  Flower  Co.,  and  finds  it  very 
convenient  since  disposing  of  the  old 
Eawson  plant.  He  is  an  artist  of  note 
and  has  had  charge  of  the  finest  decora- 
tions seen  in  this  hustling  town. 

A.  H.  Woeppel,  of  Corning,  N.  Y.,  was 
very  busy  at  the  time  of  my  visit.  Con- 
gratulations are  in  order;  the  stork 
passed  over  from  Hoffman's,  where  he 
bad  dropped  a  lusty  boy,  and  left  a 
rosebud  with  Mr.  Woeppel,  who  says  it 
is  the  prettiest  of  the  bunch. 

W.  A.  "Wettin,  of  Hornellsville,  N.  Y., 
will  put  in  his  spare  time  this  summer 
remodeling  the  store,  making  two  into 
one,  with  a  plate  glass  front.  A  good 
cellar  will  be  built. 

D.  E.  Herron,  of  Olean,  N.  Y.,  has  the 
only  conservatory  on  the  main  street  and 
finds  business  warrants  the  expense.  One 
must  be  up  to  date  these  times. 

F.  H.  Johnson,  of  Olean,  was  laid  up 
last  winter,  just  at  the  time  old  Boreas 
was  getting  in  his  worst  licks.  Mr.  John- 
son is  a  veteran  of  the  civil  war  and, 
with  his  pleasant  side  partner,  does  a 
snug,  profitable  business.

The    Lake    View    Kose    Gardens,     in 
Jamestown,  N.  Y.,  are  steadily  nearing 
the    city   with   the    big    range    of    glass 
going  up.    There  is  quite  a  stretch  of  land 
not  yet  covered,  but  with  the  demand  for 
stock    it    looks   as    though    there    is   not 
enough    to    provide    for    the    needs    of 
the  future.     A  big  handicap  with  Supt. 
Roney  is  the  difficulty  in  getting  compe- 
tent help.     He  has  hit  upon  a  plan  to 
form  a  night  school  for  the  purpose  of 
studying    Latin,    as   the    sons    of    sunny 
Italy  are  being  trained  for  the  profession 
of  rose  growers  and  carnationists.     It  is 
to    be   hoped  a   repetition   of   the   rude 
shock  sustained  by  a  trusted  employee  of 
Mr.  Renter  will  not  happen  here.     Evi- 
dently   the    gentleman    in    question    was 
anxious  the  intended  victim  should  pass 
away  amid  the  posies.    Geo.  Heelas,  the 


artistic  decorator  at  Lake  View,  says  he 
is  kept  very  busy  filling  orders  for  the 
noted  brand  of  plant  food  introduced  by 
Walter  Mott  when  here. 

M.  I.  O'Brien,  of  Sharon,  Pa.,  after 
July  1  will  transfer  his  business  to  Wal- 
ter Mott  and  Frank  Burfitt,  who  will 
conduct  the  same  under  the  firm  name  of 
Mott  &  Burfitt.  As  the  good  will  goes 
with  the  business,  the  new  firm  cannot 
fail  to  score  a  success.  W.  M.

FLORISTS  GET  STATE  AID. 


Illinois  to  Build  Greenhouses. 

In  the  closing  days  of  the  session  the 
Illinois  legislature  appropriated  $7,500 
for  the  erection  of  greenhouses  for  re- 
search and  experimental  work  at  the 
State  Agricultural  College,  the  idea  being 
to  devote  attention  to  florists'  problems. 
The  favorable  outcome  was  due  to  more 
than  two  years  of  persistent  work  on  the 
part  of  the  Illinois  State  Florists'  Asso- 
ciation, during  which  it  was  shown  to  the 
legislature  that  commercial  floriculture  in 
Illinois,  according  to  the  census  of  1900, 
represents  a  larger  aggregate  business 
than  does  commercial  orcharding,  which 
long  has  enjoyed  state  assistance. 

J.  F.  Ammann,  of  Edwardsville,  until 
recently  president  of  the  Illinois  State 
Florists'  Association,  has  worked  inde- 
fatigably  for  the  appropriation  and  when 
it  finally  was  granted  he  was  so  pleased 
that  he  sat  down  at  his  desk  and  penned 
the  following  in  bright  purple  ink  and 
mailed  it  to  the  Review: 

Congratulationst  Florists  I 

The  Illinois  State  Florists '  Association 
has  at  last  found  an  opening  and  pried 
its  wedge  into  the  legislature  for  a  small 
appropriation  to  carry  on  experimental 
work.  While  the  appropriation  is  small, 
nevertheless  it  is  a  beginning,  and  it  now 
behooves  us  to  make  the  best  of  it  for  all 
concerned.  This  is  a  tie  that  should  bind 
us  closer  together.  I  hope  we  all  realize 
that  our  work  is  just  begun.  I,  for  one, 
feel  very  much  gratified  at  the  work  ac- 
complished so  far,  and  I  take  this  oppor- 
tunity to  thank  all  those  of  the  trade, 
and  especially  the  legislators  who  so 
kindly  assisted  in  this  work. 

J.  F.  Ammann. 

Representative  Heinl,  a  son  of  Joseph 
Heinl,  the  old  and  well  known  florist  of 
Jacksonville,  is  the  man  who  put  the  ap- 
propriation through. 


NATURAL  FERTILIZERS. 

About  how  long  a  time  must  be  al- 
lowed for  horse  or  cow  manure  to  reach 
that  state  often  referred  to  in  these 
columns  as  "half  rotted"  and  "well 
rotted"?  Can  poultry  and  pigeon  ma- 
nure be  used  in  the  greenhousef  How 
may  it  be  applied,  and  in  what  quantity? 

£.  C.  S. 

We  find  that  cow  manure  that  is 
brought  to  us  in  the  winter  will  be  right 
for  use  next  fall  and  winter.  By  turn- 
ing it  a  few  times  it  can  be  worked  into 
condition  somewhat  quicker.  Mixing  in 
an  equal  bulk  of  soil  also  will  help. 
Horse  manure  requires  about  the  same 
time;  in  fact,  it  can  be  used  as  soon  as 
the  heat  is  out  of  it.  Poultry  manure  is 
excellent  for  feeding  if  used  cautiously, 
^iix  it  with  three  times  its  bulk  of  soil 
and  let  it  decompose,  turning  it  occasion- 
ally to  prevent  heating,  and  next  winter 
,  use  it  as  you  would  sheep  manure.

DUTY  ON  ROSE  CUTTINGS. 

A  report  from  Buffalo,  dated  May  10, 
says:  "Judge  Hazel  yesterday  afternoon 
handed  down  an  opinion  in  a  case  sought 
by  the  government  against  the  American 
Express  Co.  on  an  appeal  from  a  deci- 
sion of  the  customs  board  of  general  ap- 
praisers. The  opinion  sustains  the  action 
taken  by  the  government  officials  in 
charging  twenty-five  per  cent  duty  on 
rose  cuttings  imported  into  this  country 
from  Canada. 

"The  rose  cuttings  were  brought  here 
by  the  American  Express  Co.,  represent- 
atives of  which  held  that  they  were  not 
dutiable.  The  matter  was  brought  be- 
fore Judge  Hazel  by  United  States  Dis- 
trict Attorney  Bass  and  his  assistant, 
Donald  Bain,  and  after  hearing  the  argu- 
ments the  court  ruled  that  rose  cuttings 
came  under  the  title  of  greenhouse  and

nursery  stock  and  were  therefore  dutiable 
under  the  customs  law.  The  express  com- 
pany did  not  appear  to  put  in  an  argu- 
ment." 

This  is  presumed  to  be  the  case  involv- 
ing an  importation  for  Heller  Bros.,  of 
the  South  Park  Floral  Co.,  New  Castle, 
Ind.,  a  couple  of  years  ago.  If  so  it 
upholds  the  contention  of  the  importer 
and  affirms  the  decision  of  the  board  of 
general  appraisers  at  the  time:  that  the 
stock  was  dutiable  at  twenty-five  per  cent 
of  its  value,  the  local  appraiser  having 
assessed  duty  under  another  paragraph 
of  the  law  at  2^4  cents  each.  The  treas- 
ury department  appealed. 


BOXVOOD  AND  CAMELLIAS. 

I  have  a  lot  of  large  boxwood  about 
four  feet  high  which  I  would  like  to  move 
and  put  some  of  them  in  tubs.  Would 
you  kindly  inform  me  the  best  time  to 
take  them  up,  and  would  it  be  safe  to 
do  so?  I  have  also  four  or  five  large 
eamelliaa  four  or  five  feet  high.  They 
have  been  blooming  four  years.  Would 
it  be  safe  to  move  them?  When  would 
be  the  best  time?  R.  S.  W. 


An  excellent  time  to  move  evergreens 


is  just  when  new  growth  is  commencing 
in  spring.  Probably  by  this  time  the 
new  shoots  will  have  started,  but  ever- 
greens can  be  safely  transplanted  almost 
any  time  during  the  summer  if  lifted 
with  good  balls  and  transplanted  with 
care.  The  roots  should  not  be  exposed 
any  more  than  possible  and  it  would  be 
well  to  dampen  before  filling  in  much 
loam.  A  thorough  soaking  of  water  when 
the  plants  are  moved,  a  syringe  over- 
head several  times  on  bright  days  and  a 
mulching  over  the  roots  of  the  camellias 
if  they  are  planted  in  the  open  should 
insure  success.  If  from  any  reason  the 
planting  is  deferred  it  would  be  best  to 
wait  until  August  before  doing  it. 
Cloudy  and  showery  weather  is  ideal  fof 
this  work.  Do  not  attempt  it  if  there 
is  a  strong  drying  wind.  It  might  be 
advisable  to  give  the  boxwood  a  shady 
location,  such  as  would  be  afforded  by 
some  overhanging  tree,  for  a  few  weeks.

Seed  Trade  News. 


AMERICAN  SEED  TRADE  ASSOCIATION. 

Pres.,  Henry  W.  Wood,  Richmond,  Va.;    First 

'Vlce-Pres.,  Charles  Burge,  Toledo,  O.;    Sec'y  and 

Treas.,  C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland.    The  26th  annual 

meeting  will  be  held  at  New  York  City,  June,  1907 


It  is  hot  in  the  Santa  Clara  valley. 

Plant  imports  are  being  delayed  by 
the  stevedores'  strike  in  New  York. 

The  prospects  are  that  radish  will 
agaan  be  one  of  the  scarce  items  next 
season. 

The  return  of  spring  brought  a  rush 
of  counter  trade,  but  mail  order  business 
is  practically  over. 

Weather  conditions  continue  to  make 
the  retail  seed  business  erratic  in  all  sec- 
tions of  the  country. 

Spring  has  not  yet  come  in  the  Michi- 
gan pea  and  bean  districts.  Seeding  oper- 
ations everywhere  are  late. 

The  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
has  issued  a  bulletin  on  the  corn  leaf- 
aphis  and  corn  root-aphis  which  will  in- 
terest seedsmen  and  especially  growers 
of  seed  corn. 

The  calls  for  seed  for  replanting  opera- 
tions have  not  been  up  to  anticipations 
and  the  general  opinion  is  that  the  loss 
of  early  plantings  was  not  so  heavy  as  at 
first  reported. 

The  Chicago  growers  of  onion  sets  are 
feeling  a  little  more  cheerful.  They 
have  got  out  a  fair  acreage  and  the  stand 
on  the  early  planted  fields  is  better  than 
was  anticipated. 

Adolf  Kruhm,  formerly  with  W. 
Atlee  Burpee  &  Co.,  is  now  with  F. 
Barteldes  &  Co.,  Lawrence,  Kan.,  and 
will  have  charge  of  their  retail  trade  and 
catalogue  business. 

D.  LiANDRETH  Seed  Co.,  Bristol,  Pa.,  re- 
ports that  its  crop  of  Seven-top  turnip, 
now  in  bloom,  has  been  injured  so  seri- 
ously by  cold  weather  that  the  prospects 
for  seeds  have  been  reduced  to  almost 
nothing. 

The  temperate  climate  as  well  as  the 
good,  irrigated  soil  of  the  southeastern 
district  of  France,  the  Provence,  quite 
properly  called  the  garden  of  France, 
places  that  country  in  a  favorable  posi- 
tion to  produce,  with  a  real  success, 
nearly  all  sorts  of  seeds,  and  the  indus- 
try there  is  steadily  on  the  increase. 

Knud  Gundestrup,  Chicago,  will  sail 
from  New  York  June  8,  for  a  trip  to 
Europe,  and  will  return  about  the  middle 
of  August.  He  will  be  accompanied  by 
his  family.  They  will  stop  first  in  Eng- 
land, and,  after  a  short  stay  there,  will 
go  to  Denmark,  where  Mr.  Gundestrup 
will  leave  his  family  while  he  visits  seed 
growers  in  France.  After  making  a  tour 
of  Germany  together,  they  will  embark 
from  a  German  port  for  their  return 
voyage.  Mr.  Gundestrup  expects  to  bring 
with  him,  when  he  returns,  a  seed-testing 
machine  which  he  believes  to  be  superior 
to  any  machine  now  used  for  that  pur- 
pose in  America.

eighty-seven  men  and  boys  on  his  pay

will  retain  half  of  the  stock  himself  and 
the  other  half  will  be  taken  by  his  close 
friends  and  employees.  The  Shenandoah 
people  congratulate  themselves  that  if 
Mr.  Field's  plans  are  carried  out  they 
will,  in  a  short  time,  have  in  the  town 
the  largest  seed  business  in  Iowa,  if 
not  in  the  entire  west. 

To  the  above  Mr.  Field  adds  under 
date  of  May  14:  "Please  make  note  of 
the  fact  that  I  have  formed  a  company 
to  take  over  my  seed  business,  with  my- 
self in  control.  Will  build  a  fireproof 
building  costing  approximately  $30,000. 
Also  expect  to  improve  and  beautify  the 
grounds  about  the  building  and  make  it 
a  semi-public  park  and  show  place.  Will 
put  in  the  latest  improved  seed  machin- 
ery. Will  be  glad  to  hear  from  parties 
interested  in  any  of  these  lines." 


BULBS  IN  HOLLAND. 

No  trade  visitor  to  Holland  can  pos- 
sibly fail  to  notice  the  enormous  extent 
to  which  the  culture  of  bulbs  has  ex- 
tended during  the  last  few  years.  Not 
only  have  fresh  fields  been  added  to  old 
grounds,   but   huge   areas   of   some   hun-

dreds  of  acres  have  been  transformed 
from  woods  to  level  fields  intersected  by 
canals  and  planted  with  bulbs.  We  speak 
now  of  the  development  in  well-known 
districts,  but  there  are  hundreds  of  acres 
in  other  parts,  where  formerly  it  was 
considered  impossible  to  cultivate  bulbs, 
which  are  now  carrying  good  crops  of 
tulips,  narcissi,  etc.,  and  we  are  credibly 
informed  that  the  amount  of  land  under 
bulb  culture  is  five  .times  more  than  it 
was  ten  years  ago. 

During  the  last  year  or  two  the  demand 
for  many  bulbs,  especially  tulips,  has 
been  marvelous,  for  in  addition  to  the 
export  trade  large  stocks  have  been  re- 
quired to  plant  up  all  the  new  land 
which  has  been  developed,  and  thus  the 
grower  has  been  in  clover,  while  the  ex- 
porter has  had  to  supply  bulbs  at  prices, 
fixed  in  his  catalogue,  which,  when  he 
had  to  purchase  supplementary  stocks, 
left  him  with  no  margin  of  profit,  or 
with  an  actual  loss.  However  brilliant 
this  business  may  have  been,  our  Hol- 
land friends  have  a  wide  open  eye  to  the 
future,  and  the  growers  begin  to  ask 
themselves  -how  will  things  be  when  the 
home  demand  drops  off?  They  also 
realize  that  at  any  rate  in  England  the 
demand  for  hyacinths  for  forcing  in  pots 
is  not  a  growing,  but  rather  a  diminish- 
ing one,  while  year  by  year  amateurs 
demand  bulbs  at  lower  prices  for  this 
culture. 

Tt    was    possibly    with    those    thoughts 


in  mind,  says  a  writer  in  the  Horticul- 
tural Advertiser,  that  the  Society  of 
Dutch  Bulb  Growers  gave  this  year  at 
Sassenheim  the  first  annual  exhibition 
outdoors,  the  idea  being  to  demonstrate 
the  value  of  these  buft»*  for  bedding 
purposes,  and  the  manner  in  which  they 
should  be  planted  to  obtain  the  best 
effect. 

The  main  point  to  be  noted  was  the 
way  iu  which  the  bulbs  were  planted, 
which  is,  roughly  speaking,  about  twice 
as  thickly  as  one  is  accustomed  to  see 
them.  In  the  case  of  hyacinths,  young 
bulbs  are  used,  and  they  nearly  touched 
each  other,  while  the  blooms  completely 
covered  the  beds,  producing  a  grand 
effect.  Some  idea  of  the  planting  may 
be  gained  from  the  fact  that  circular 
beds  ten  feet  in  diameter  contain  500 
bulbs  of  hyacinths  or  900  tulips,  while 
the  largest  bed,  which  has  a  diameter  of 
thirty-three  feet,  contained  10,000 
hyacinths. 

Tulips  were  planted  in  similar  fashion, 
and  also  daffodils,  one  of  the  finest  beds 
in  the  show  being  a  crescent-shaped  bed 
of  Bicolor  Victoria,  which  was  worth  a 
journey  to  see. 

The  arrangement  of  colors  in  the  beds 
was  very  pleasing.  One  bed  of  Roi  des 
Beiges,  with  a  border  of  King  of  the 
Yellows,  was  especially  effective;  other 
good  beds  were  Rose  Jl  Merveille,  a  good 
blush  hyacinth ;  Prince  de  Ligne,  a  very 
early  yellow  tulip.  La  Eemarquable  and 
Red  Pottebakker  tulips.  With  these 
exceptions,  the  bulk  of  the  bulbs  were  old 
and  well-known   varieties.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


AUy  16,  1907. 


est  percentage  of  seeds  used  in  America 
was  imported  from  Europe,  where  the 
industry'  has  received  more  careful  at- 
tention than  here.  Now  there  are  150 
large  seed  firms  in  America,  each  han- 
•dling  hundreds  of  thousands  of  pounds 
annually.  In  many  instances  they  have 
specialized,  and  handle  only  one  kind  of 
seed.  Twenty-five  of  these  firms  deal 
only  in  peas  and  beans,  eight  in  cab- 
bages, eight  in  tomatoes,  lettuce,  cucum- 
bers, onions,  melons  and  beets. 

The  money  these  firms  pay  into  the 
Santa  Clara  Valley  of  California 
amounts  to  more  than  $1,500,000  yearly. 
This  valley  produces  a  little  more  than 
2,000,000  pounds  of  seed  per  annum,  and 
from  8,000,000  to  10,000,000  pounds  are 
sold  yearly  in  the  United  States. 

Central  Michigan  and  western  New 
York  produce  almost  all  the  bean  seed 
used  in  this  country.  One  locality  in 
Michigan  produces  75,000  bushels  yearly. 
Potatoes  and  corn  are  sold  so  extensively 
that  no  estimate  can  be  made  of  the 
amount  produced  each  year.  Two  mil- 
lion pounds  of  turnip  seed  go  into  Amer- 
ican soil  every  season,  but  most  of  it  is 
imported  from  England.  One  million 
pounds  of  radishes  are  planted  here,  one- 
tenth  of  which  is  raised  in  California, 
some  in  Michigan  and  the  rest  in  Eu- 
rope. Of  the  million  pounds  of  seed 
onions  which  the  annual  crop  demands, 
California  yields  700,000  pounds.  More 
than  half  the  million  pounds  of  cabbage 
seed  used  in  our  crops  is  grown  in  our 
own  soil.

partment  of  Agriculture,  which  discov- 
ered it  in  Bohemia.  Trials  in  many 
places  appear  to  show  that  under  good 
cultivation  it  possesses  vigorous  growth, 
large  size  of  root,  freedom  from  fibers 
and  prongs,  extra  keen  and  pungent  fla- 
vor, earliness  and  clean,  white  skin.  It 
gives  better  roots  with  less  trouble,  not 
being  inclined  to  waste  its  energies  in 
useless  blooms  and  heavy  foliage.  Prac- 
tical growers  who  have  tried  it  say  that 
its  early  maturity  and  whiteness  of  skin 
are  qualities  particularly  valuable  to 
pickle  packers,  as  it  is  ready  for  use  in 
October  of  the  year  planted,  while  the 
common  kind  does  not  really  mature 
until  the  following  spring.  Immature 
horseradish  has  a  rank,  unpleasant  and 
at  times  bitter  taste,  moderate  pungency 
and  the  grated  root  soon  darkens  and 
loses  strength.  A  writer  in  the  Rural 
New  Yorker  says  his  experience  is  that 
the  Maliner  variety,  dug  any  time  after 
the  foliage  dies  down,  grates  white  and 
clean,  with  but  little  loss,  on  account  of 
the  thin,  smooth  skin,  and  keeps  its  color 
and  sharpness  many  weeks,  without  any 
preservative,  if  mixed  with  good  vinegar 
and  kept  covered  in  the  usual  way.  One 
large  grower  says  it  yielded  last  year 
one-third  more  than  the  ordinary  sort, 
many  roots  weighing  two  and  a  half 
pounds  each,  and  realized  7  cents  the 
pound  in  the  wholesale  markets.  Good 
common  horseradish  sells  at  wholesale 
for  prices  varying  from  3  cents  to  5 
cents  a  pound. 

The  Maliner  Kren  horseradish  takes 
its  name  from  a  village  in  Bohemia, 
where  the  variety  probably  originated  or 
at  least  has  been  cultivated  from  time 
immemorial.     The  output  from  the  Mali-

prices  in  the  large  capitals  than  any 
other.  Some  of  it  even  finds  its  way  to 
this  country,  where  it  sells  at  fancy

probably  developed  the  special  qualities

NEWPORT,  R.  L 


The  Planting  Season. 

Preparations  are  now  under  full  head- 
way for  the  summer,  and  florists  and 
jirivate  gardeners  are  alike  very  busy ; 
more  so  because  of  the  unusuaJly  cold 
weather  of  April  and  the  first  week  in 
May.  In  fact,  the  weather  is  still  cool 
enough  to  prevent  the  planting  outdoors 
of  many  things  that  in  ordinary  seasons 
would  at  this  time  have  a  good  start 
made  in  the  ground. 

Careful  observation  of  planting  opera- 
tions in  this  and  other  sections  of  the 
Island  warrant  the  opinion  that,  notwith- 
standing the  great  run  on  evergreens  dur- 
ing the  last  few  years,  the  planting  of 
deciduous  trees  is  on  the  increase,  with 
Norway  maples  in  the  lead.  English 
lindens  are  scarce,  in  consequence  of  an 
unprecedented  >demand  last  fall,  espe- 
ciaJly  for  the  larger  size  trees. 

The  demand  for  herbaceous  plants,  so 
called,  is  more  pronounced  than  ever, 
with  evidences  of  a  general  knowledge 
of  what  is  wanted  cropping  up  when 
customers  order  fewer  varieties  and  a 
greater  number  of  plants  of  those  of  un- 
doubted merit  from  a  viewpoint  of  prac- 
tical utility.  A  few  years  ago  surpris- 
ingly few  peonies  were  seen  in  the  gar- 
dens of  Newport,  considering  how  com- 
paratively ancient  a  great  many  of  these 
gardens  are.  Within  a  year  v~.r  two  quite 
a  large  number  of  the  beautiful  things 
have  been  planted  here,  for  the  gratifica- 
tion principally  of  those  cottage  owners 
who  come  in  time  to  see  them  at  their 
best,  and  also  for  the  pleasure  of  those 
who  pop  in  once  in  a  while  on  flying  vis- 
its before  they  come  for  the  season.  By 
the  way,  the  lateness  of  the  opening  of 
the  Newport  season  has  been  mainly  re- 
sponsible for  the  neglect  of  many  mer- 
itorious plants  by  the  craft  here. 

Arbor  Day. 

Arbor  day  wa.s  observed  in  the  public 
schools  by  literary  exercises  and  in  a 
still  more  appropriate  manner  by  the 
planting  of  numerous  trees  in  various 
parts  of  the  city  and  in  the  laying  out 
and  allotment  of  school  gardens.  These 
gardens  will  be  of  much  more  than  usual 
interest  to  both  teachers  and  pupils  this 
year,  by  reason  of  the  liberal  cash  pre- 
miums offered  by  the  Horticultural  So- 
ciety for  those  that  will  in  the  opinion 
of  competent  judges  be  justly  entitled 
to  awards  as  a  result  of  the  painstaking 
industry  of  the  little  gardeners.  The 
superintendent  of  schools  was  this  week 
the  recipient  of  a  huge  bundle  of  sched- 
ules of  premiums  to  be  awarded  at  the 
June  exhibition  of  the  Horticultural  So- 
ciety. It  is  supposed  the  purpose  for 
which  the  secretary  of  the  society  in- 
tended these  was  to  inform  the  pupils  of 
the  school  garden  prizes,  as  well  as 
the  fact  that  numerous  prizes  will^be 
awarded  to  the  children  for  cut  flowers

and  for  vegetables.  The  superintendent, 
however,  found  a  different  use  for  them. 
He  immediately  distributed  them  to  the 
pupils  of  the  botany  classes.  Not  a  bad 
idea,  but  had  a  forecast  of  it  come  to 
the  attention  of  the  committee  getting

liarly interesting  to  botany  students 
would  no  doubt  have  been  added. 

Various  Notes. 

Many  principals  or  representatives  of 
the  florist  firms  doing  a  summer  business 
on  the  avenue  were  here  recently,  making 
final  preparations  for  resuming  business 
for  the  season,  among  them  Mr.  Spaulding, 
of  the  J.  M.  Hodgson  Co.  Richard  Mer- 
rit  is  no  longer  connected  in  a  business 
way  with  that  corporation,  although  the 
family  relations  existing  between  him 
and  the  other  members  of  the  firm  will 
doubtless  serve  to  continue  a  measure  of 
mutual  interest. 

Thore  is  some  curiosity,  if  not  a  little 
anxiety,  aroused  by  the  introduction  into 
the  city  council  of  a  measure  having  for 
its  object  the  taxing  of  concerns  that  do 
business  here  for  the  summer  and  remove 
to  New  York  and  other  cities  in  the 
winter.  Although  there  are  engaged  in 
this  practice  firms  doing  business  of  vari- 
ous kinds,  still  florists  are  numerous  and 
out  of  proportion  to  other  lines.  Opinion 
is  somewhat  divided  as  to  the  feasibility 
of  the  proposed  ordinance,  not  to  men- 
tion the  more  vital  point  of  the  general 
good,  that  would  result  from  its*  passage. 

There  is  in  Newport  a  great  demand 
yearly  for  plants  of  large  size  for  the 
interior  decoration  of  dwellings,  more 
especially  .palmti  Heretofore  there 
seemed  to  be  but  little  difficulty  experi- 
enced by  dealers  in  procuring  the  re- 
quired number,  but  during  the  last  one 
or  two  seasons  the  constant  call  for  them 
here,  augmented  by  a  presumable  de- 
mand in  other  places,  has  caused  a  no- 
ticeable scarcity.  In  years  gone  by,  are- 
cas  were  used  considerably  for  the  pur- 
poses mentioned,  but  their  somewhat 
tender  character  caused  them  to  be  all 
but  discarded  in  favor  of  kentias,  which 
are  in  almost  every  way  superior  except- 
ing of  course  in  point  of  gracefulness, 
but  that  is  lost  sight  of  when  in  a  short 
time  they  show  signs  of  not  being 
adapted  to  the  conditions  of  their  sur- 
roundings. There  is  a  great  demand  from 
city  concerns   for  large   plants  of   aspi-

WHITE  FLY  ON  TOMATOES. 

I  am  growing  tomatoes  in  my  green- 
house. They  are  about  twenty  inches 
high  and  in  good  condition,  but  are  now 
being  attacked  by  small  white  flies. 
These  are  very  numerous  and  seem  to 
damage  the  foliage.  I  have  smoked 
them  with  tobacco  stems  and  with  nico- 
tine papers,  but  it  does  not  seem  to 
affect  them.  Will  you  kindly  tell  me 
how  I  can  get  rid  of  them,  also  your 
opinion  as  to  whether  they  are  destruc- 
tive to  tomatoes,  roses  and  other  plants 
grown  in  greenhouses?  W.  L. 


The  only  certain  cure  I  know  of  for 
the  white  fly  is  hydrocyanic  acid  gas. 
Tobacco  in  any  form  does  not  seem  to 
be  strong  enough  to  kill  it,  but  the  gas 
certainly  will.  It  will  be  necessary, 
however,  to  apply  it  about  three  times, 
about  eight  days  apart,  to  exterminate 
the  fly,  as  the  gas  will  only  kill  the  live 
insects  and  will  not  reach  them  in  the 
egg  stage.  It  takes,  I  believe,  about 
three  weeks  from  the  time  the  egg  is 
laid  for  the  insect  to  hatch,  but  by 
operating  with  the  gas  at  intervals  of 
about  eight  days  the  insects  are  caught 
before  they  get  settled  in  their  family 
arrangements. 

This  insect  succumbs  readily  to  the 
gas,  so  I  would  not  advise  you  to  use  it 
very  strong.  About  one  ounce  of  cyanide 
of  potassium  to  one  thousand  cubic  feet 
of  space  will  be  strong  enough  to  kill 
them,  and  this  strength  will  not  hurt  any 
plants  you  may  have  in  the  house  along 
with  the  tomatoes.  The  proportions  we 
use  are  five  ounces  cyanide,  one  quart 
sulphuric  acid  and  one  quart  of  water, 
this  being  sufficient  to  kill  the  white  fly 
in  a  house  containing  5,000  cubic  feet  of 
space. 

You  are  probably  aware  of  the  danger- 
ous nature  of  this  gas  if  the  materials 
are  carelessly  handled,  but  I  never  care

to  recommend  it  without  a  word  of  warn- 
ing as  to  its  dangerous  nature. 

You  must  first  find  out  the  cubic  space 
in  your  house.  In  a  house  containing 
5,000  feet  it  is  best  to  use  two  jars,  to 
insure  even  distribution,  but  a  smaller 
house  could  be  done  with  one,  this  being 
set  in  the  center  of  the  house.  Use 
earthenware  jars,  large  enough  to  guard 
against  the  material  boiling  over.  First 
place  in  the  jar  the.  quantity  of  acid 
and  water  necessary,  then  drop  the 
cyanide  in  and  get  out  and  make  for 
the  door,  making  sure  to  lock  this  be- 
hind you.  All  other  doors  to  the  house 
should  have  been  locked  before  beginning 
operations.  The  best  time  to  use  the 
gas  is  in  the  evening,  leaving  the  house 
closed  all  night,  and  by  morning  it  can 
be  entered  with  safety. 

These  insects  are  certainly  destructive 
to  plants  and  are  very  undesirable  ten- 
ants to  have  in  a  greenhouse.

VEGETABLE  PLANTS. 

My  early  cabbage  plants  grew  rapidly 
after  sowing,  until  they  were  about  an 
inch  and  a  half  in  height,  when  they 
began  to  change  in  color  to  a  reddish 
blue,  and  finally  the  leaves  began  drop- 
ping off.  Transplanted  stock  acted  the 
same  way.  They  rooted  freely  and  it 
seems  that  all  growth  went  to  the  roots. 
They  finally  became  unsalable.  The 
tomato  plants  were  similarly  affected, 
turning  blue  in  the  stems,  while  the  leaves 
turned  yellow  and  dropped  off  at  a  height 
of  about  four  inches.  All  the  plants  root 
freely  and  the  growth  seems  to  be  con- 
fined chiefly  to  the  roots.  Aster  seedlings 
prosper,  also  verbenas.  Lettuce  grows 
principally    to    roots ;    the    lower    leaves

turn  yellow  and  form  no  heads.  The  soil 
was  taken  out  of  my  former  garden, 
which  was  fertilized  for  the  last  five 
years  with  chicken  manure,  put  on  in 
the  fall.  No  fertilizer  at  all  was  given 
to  the  cabbage  in  the  house.  The  soil  is 
a  dark  brown  loam,  and  hardens  quickly 
to  a  crust,  when  it  becomes  dry. 

F.  N.  B. 

Your  trouble  seems  to  be  due  to  sour- 
ness in  the  soil.  I  would  advise  you  to 
procure  soil  from  some,  old  pasture  in- 
stead of  using  old  garden  soil,  which  has 
been  heavily  manured  for  a  number  of 
years  and  is  more  or  less  of  a  fatty 
nature  and  unsuitable  for  use  in  a  green- 
house for  almost  any  class  of  plants. 
Try  to  procure  a  few  loads  of  sod  from 
some  old  pasture;  pile  it  up  and  leave 
it  for  about  six  months,  so  that  the 
grass  will  be  rotted  out  before  using. 
The  fiber  in  this  will  keep  the  soil  open 
and  free.  For  growing  cabbage, 
tomatoes  or  any  other  small  plants,  no 
manure  whatever  is  necessary.  There 
will  be  plenty  of  nutriment  in  the  soil 
itself  to  sustain  them  until  they  are 
large  enough  for  planting  out,  and  they 
will  make  a  firmer  and  better  growth 
without  the  assistance  of  manure. 

W.  S.  Croydon.

PACIFIC  COAST. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  VIOLET. 

The  fact  that  the  growing  of  violets 
for  the  San  Francisco  market  has  prac- 
tically passed  into  the  hands  of  the 
Italians,  and  also  that  there  is  no 
variety  cultivated  to  any  extent  except 
Princess  of  Wales,  shov?s  another  in- 
stance of  the  survival  of  the  fittest. 

It  is  probably  twenty  years  since  the 
boom  for  violet  growing  commenced  in 
the  neighborhood  of  Menlo  Park.  At 
that  time  the  old-fashioned  Russian,  the 
Neapolitan  and  the  Swanley  White  were 
grown  in  about  equal  numbers.  A  few 
patches  were  to  be  found  all  the  way 
from  San  Francisco  along  the  country 
roads  as  far  as  Belmont,  cultivated  prin- 
cipally by  Italians.  When  it  was  found, 
however,  that  the  rich,  mellow  soil  of 
San  Mateo  and  Menlo  were  particularly 
adapted  to  their  growing,  many  acres  of 
ground  were  devoted  to  their  culture, 
with  good  profit. 

About  this  time  the  California  violet 
made  its  appearance  and  this  favored 
locality  scored  more  of  a  success  than 
ever.  The  growers  had  everything  in 
their  hands  for  a  few  seasons  and  made 
money  rapidly. 

The  Italian  growers  at  length  began 
to  find  there  was  no  longer  any  demand 
for  the  old-fashioned,  purple  an<i  blue 
violets,  and  so  they  began  to  weed  them 
out  and  replant  with  California.  The 
Chinese,  in  turn,  began  to  get  inter- 
ested, and  in  a  couple  of  seasons, 
although  their  stock  was  not  equal  to 
that  produced  under  more  favorable 
auspices  on  the  larger  places,  still  they 
succeeded  in  lowering  the  prices  so  that 
the  others  could  not  compete,  and  the 
beds  were  allowed  to  go  to  ruin. 

In  the  meanwhile  the  Princess  of 
Wales  violet  appeared  on  the  horizon 
and  was  quickly  taken  in  hand  by  the 
growers  who  had  ceased  to  make  money 
out  of  the  others.  A  short  and  suc- 
cessful season  attended  their  efforts 
again,  until  the  stock  was  disseminated 
among  the  smaller  growers.  Then  a 
thi'ee-cornered  fight  was  waged  between 
the  large  growers  in  the  more  aristo- 
cratic section,  the  Chinese  growers  in 
the  immediate  neighborhood  and  the 
Italian  growers  in  the  vicinity  of  Ocean 
View  and  South  San  Francisco.  The 
Italians  won  out  because  they  had  the 
faculty  of  raising  large  families,  who 
invariably  did  all  the  picking.  As  the 
Chinese,  Japanese  and  others  did  not 
seem  to  be  blessed  in  the  same  way, 
there  was  but  one  result,  and  that  was 
that  practically  every  violet  grower  from 
San  Francisco  to  Menlo  Park  went  out 
of  business  except  the  Italians,  and  they 
entirely  control  the  trade  today. 

When,  during  the  race  for  supremacy, 
it  was  evident  that  the  picking  proposi- 
tion was  the  one  that  was  most  con- 
cerned in  the  controversy,  the  growers 
one  by  one  began  discarding  the  double 
sorts,  as  they  cannot  be  gathered  so 
readily  or  bunched  to  such  advantage. 
The  public,  in  the  meanwhile,  seeing  so 
few  Marie  Louise  or  any  other  of  the 
double  sorts  in  evidence,  apparently  for- 
got all  about  them,  and  the  retailers, 
knowing  what  a  difficulty  was  always 
experienced  in  trying  to  fill  orders  for 
them,  ceased  recommending  them,  and 
now  they  are  rarely  seen  here. 

This  is  the  history  of  the  violet  in  this

OAKLAND,  CAL. 

Clarke  Bros,  have  recently  opened  a 
new  retail  store  at  1087  Clay  street, 
corner  Twelfth  street.  It  is  the  finest 
store  of  its  kind  in  Oakland  and  as  fine 
as  any  on  the  Pacific  coast.  The  Clarkes 
have  extensive  greenhouses  at  Fruitvale, 
where  for  the  last  ten  years  they  have 
been  growing  cut  flowers  for  their  large 
retail  store  in  Portland,  Ore.,  and  for  the 
wholesale  trade  in  San  Francisco.  On 
their  opening  day,  Saturday,  April  27, 
they  gave  away  over  20,000  carnations. 
Eobert  Newcomb,  formerly  of  Chicago, 
but  more  recently  with  J.  Seulberger,  of 
Oakland,  has  been  engaged  by  the 
Clarkes  for  their  new  store. 


SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 


Business  is  at  the  lowest  ebb  that  the 
writer  has  experienced  in  the  last  forty 
years  in  San  Francisco,  with  the  possible 
exception  of  a  few  weeks  immediately 
after  the  fire  of  last  year.  The  street 
car  strike,  although  it  has  only  been  in 
force  for  four  days,  put  the  finishing 
touches  on  what  was  already  hopelessly 
bad.  The  retail  business  has  come  to 
such  a  condition  that  the  retail  stores 
have  had  several  meetings  at  which  the 
advisability  of  closing  all  the  retail  stores 
in  certain  sections  of  the  town  was  ad- 
vocated by  the  merchants.  The  advan- 
tages of  this  would  be  to  save  clerk  hire 
and  operating  expenses  until  such  time 
as  things  right  themselves.  As  I  write, 
the  shrill  voice  of  the  newsboy  in  the 
street  proclaims  that  already  there  has 
been  bloodshed  as  a  result  of  the  strike.

Although  only  four  days  have  elapsed, 
7,000  men  are  idle  and  the  end  is  not  yet. 
Under  such  conditions  it  is  hardly  pos- 
sible that  a  correspondent  can  report 
anything  very  favorable  in  his  chosen 
field. 

Although  the  towns  across  the  bay, 
such  as  Oakland  and  Alameda,  are  to  a 
certain  extent  removed  from  the  seat  of 
warfare,  still  the  ill  effects  seem  to  in- 
fluence all  the  bay  towns  and  there  is 
nothing  to  report  except  a  fair  amount 
of  funeral  business  for  the  last  week. 

I  am  in' hopes  that  by  next  week  I  will 
be  able  to  report  more  favorably  of  the 
situation,  but  at  the  present  writing  I 
cannot  truthfully  say  anything  that  in 
any  way  might  convey  the  idea  that  we 
are  short  of  being  strictly  "up  against 
it. ' ' 

Variouf  Notes. 

Henry  J.  Zimmer,  of  Chicago,  is  vis- 
iting friends  in  San  Francisco.  He  will 
remain  here  for  several  weeks  and  pro- 
ceed eastward  by  the  way  of  Portland, 
Ore.,  and  Seattle,  "Wash. 

James  Skinner,  after  having  disposed 
of  a  carload  of  bay  trees  to  the  local 
trade,  has  removed  his  base  of  operations 
to  Portland,  Ore.  Mr.  Skinner  will  make 
a  trip  to  Alaska  during  the  summer,  to

demands  for  all  kinds  of  hardy  annuals. 
The  supply  in  that  section  is  apparently 
not  equal  to  the  calls  of  the  gardening 
public. 

Domoto  Bros.,  of  Elmhurst,  will  erect 
four  more  rose  houses  during  the  coming 
summer.  They  have  at  present  one  of 
the  largest  and  most  complete  plants  on 
the  coast. 

E.  Gill,  of  Oakland  and  West  Berke- 
ley, has  planted  forty  acres  in  roses  for 
the  coming  season's  trade.  This  firm 
handled  over  a  quarter  of  a  million  two- 
year-old  budded  stock  during  the  last 
season.  G. 


PORTLAND,  ORE. 


Current  G}tninent. 

Trade  conditions  during  April,  while 
satisfactory,  were  not  conducive  to  great 
enthusiasm,  so  we  looked  wise  and  made 
the  beet  of  it.^  The  present  month  greeted 
us  with  more  promising  indications  and 
is  taxing  our  efforts  to  a  finish.  It  is 
with  pride  that  we  refer  to  the  superior 
quality  of  stock  in  general  grown  in 
Portland  in  the  last  few  weeks.  The  dis- 
play of  Bride,  Bridesmaid,  Kaiserin  and 
Richmond  roses,  perfectly  formed,  with 
stems  three  feet  in  length,  we  are  sure 
cannot  be  excelled  anywhere.  The  car- 
nation family  can  also  boast  of  fine  phys- 
ical development,  in  White  Lawson, 
Lawson  and  Enchantress,  and  are  more 
popular  with  the  public.  Late  outdoor 
tulips  and  poet's  narcissi,  lingering  re- 
minders of  spring,  are  filling  their  places 
in  the  market  and  we  dispose  of  many 
of  them  at  a  moderate  price.  There  is 
an  abundance  of  everything,  and  anyone 
earning  over  $1.50  a  day  can  have  a  bou- 
quet for  the  Sunday  table. 

The  plantsmen  are  now  in  their  glory, 
this  being  the  height  of  the  bedding  sea- 
son. That  oft-repeated  phrase,  *  *  Sales 
far  in  advance  of  last  year,"  still  holds 
good,  and  why  should  it  not  be  so  when 
growth  and  activity  are  noted  in  every 
direction?  More  beautiful  weather  could 
not  be  asked  for.  Vegetation  is  display- 
ing all  her  spring  charms  in  full  leaf  and 
blossom,  and  open  air  competition  for 
the  florist  has  begun. 

Our  customers  take  pride  in  inviting  us 
to  inspect  their  achievements  in  horti- 
culture, and  we  have  a  large  number  of 
beautifully  kept  pl£«es  in  Portland. 
While  the  roses  are  rapidly  forming  bud, 
the  magnolia,  snowball,  vdstaria  and  tree 
peony  are  now  seen  at  their  best.  But 
even  this  in  our  estimation  cannot  out- 
rival the  natural  charm  of"  the 
"Heights,"  where  we  often  go  for  rec- 
reation and  inspiration.  Scattered  among 
the  tall  firs  are  the  dogwood,  lilac  and 
horse  chestnut,  forming  a  pleasing  con- 
trast to  the  rich  green  foliage,  while  in 
the  far  distance  the  snow-capped  moun- 
tains loom  up  like  huge  dishes  of  ice 
cream.  This  elevated  district  is  a  much 
frequented  place,  and  observation  ears 
are  run  daily  for  the  accommodation  of 
all  visitors.  H.  J.  M.

Geneva,  N.  Y,,  May  11. 

The  wholesale  nurserymen  report  a 
good  inquiry  for  stock  for  fall  trade. 

Many  nurserymen  are  inquiring  if  the 
time  has  not  arrived  to  make  a  general 
advance  in  prices. 

The  demise  of  Eli  A.  Bronson,  a 
pioneer  nurseryman  of  Geneva,  N.  Y., 
is  reported  in  the  obituary  column  this 
week. 

The  nurserymen  at  Geneva,  N.  Y., 
report  the  spring  season  as  generally  the 
best  to  date.  They  sold  out  closely  on 
nearly    all    lines. 

At  West  Chester,  Pa.,  it  is  said  the 
rabbits  did  considerable  damage  to  young 
stock  in  the  nurseries  during  the  last 
snowy  period  of  the  winter. 

The  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
has  just  issued  a  bulletin  of  forty-eight 
freely  illustrated  pages  descriptive  of  the 
insect  and  fungous  enemies  of  the  grape 
east  of  the  Rocky  mountains. 

The  president  of  the  American  Asso- 
ciation of  Nurserymen  has  appointed  a 
committee  of  nine  well-known  men  to 
report  at  the  Detroit  meeting  in  June  a 
plan  for  the  standardizing  of  grades  of 
nursery  stock. 

Nelson  Bogue,  of  Batavia,  N.  Y.,  has 
for  some  years  been  breeding  Morg; 
horses,  more  as  a  hobby  than  for  pro 
but  recently  has  made  some  good  sales 
of  thoroughbred  stock  to  the  owners  of 
large  private  estates  who  have  visited  his 
nursery. 

A.  R.  Pickett  will  hereafter  be  asso- 
ciated with  his  father  in  the  nursery 
business  at  Clyde,  O.  The  new  firm 
takes  over  the  interests  of  the  Highland 
Nursery  and  Orchard  Co.  and  will  be 
known  as  the  Clyde  Nursery,  G.  S.  Pick- 
ett &  Son,  proprietors. 

Ninety-five  per  cent  of  the  creditors 
in  the  bankruptcy  case  of  the  Hart  Pio- 
neer Nurseries,  Fort  Scott,  Kan.,  peti- 
tioned Referee  Cory,  April  25,  to  sell 
the  remaining  stock  of  the  nurseries,  and 
it  was  so  ordered.  An  offer  of  $500  on 
the  remaining  nursery  stock  and  a  few 
wagons  was  made  and  will  likely  be  ac- 
cepted by  Trustee  Dan  Campbell.  Previ- 
ous sales  have  amounted  to  about  $2,500. 
The  liabilities  in  this  suit  reached  $40,- 
000. 


SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS. 

The  work  of  planting  many  deciduous 
trees  may,  with  perfect  safety,  be  pro- 
longed after  the  leaves  begin  to  unfold, 
if  facilities  for  the  immediare  watering 
of  the  trees  are  available.  Maples  are 
especially  tractable  in  this  respect  and 
no  fear  need  be  entertained  regarding 
their  successful  establishment  if  the 
above  mentioned  requirement  has  been 
timely  applied.

We  are  the  largest  crowers  of  Perennial  Phlox  In  the  world.  Our  col- 
lection ii  unequalled,  and  we  are  prepared  to  fttrnish  the  new  and  rare 
kinds  aB  well  as  all  the  popular  and  standard  varieties  in  large  quantities. 

The  plants  we  offer  are  nearly  all  strong  one-year-old  fleld-grown 
plants  or  equally  strong  divisions,  and  will  make  a  fine  display  of  flowers

with  young  Winter  propagated  stock  such  as  ia  generally  sent  out  in  the

Huous  or  otherwise  objectionable  on  ma- 
ples. 

If  there  occurs  an  interval  of  compara- 
tive quiet  between  the  rush  of  planting 
deciduous  trees  and  that  of  evergreens,  it 
ought,  as  far  as  possible,  lo  be  taken 
advantage  of  in  the  way  of  transplanting 
those  of  the  former  remaining  unsold  in 
the  nursery  rows.  The  labor  thus  de- 
voted could  hardly  be  applied  to  a  better 
purpose. 

Seedlings  and  cuttings  kept  right  along 
under  glass  cover  should  be  well  hard- 
ened before  being  set  out  in  the  nursery 
rows. 

Weeds  are  a  plague  to  nurserymen,  es- 
pecially in  wet  seasons.  It  will  help 
greatly  to  keep  these  down  if  the  war  of 
extermination  is  begun  early  and  per- 
sistently  waged    during   every   dry   day. 


This  persistent  killing  of  weeds,  or  the 
cultivation  of  the  soil  for  their  preven- 
tion, is  not  only  good  for  that  special 
purpose,  but  is  also  serviceable  in^  its 
help  to  the  trees  in  the  nursery. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  moving  oaks  is 
usually  attended  with  some  degree  of 
danger,  especially  if  the  trees  are  large, 
but  if  those  trees  had  been  as  frequently 
transplanted  as  is  commonly  the  case 
with  others  requiring  the  precaution  less, 
the  danger  would  be  reduced  to  a  mini- 
mum. The  moving  of  a  large  oak  should 
never  be  attempted  until  at  least  a  year 
has  elapsed  since  the  roots  were  cut 
at  a  suitable  distance  from  the  trunk  of 
the  tree.  This  is  a  good  method  to  adopt 
with  all  trees  on  which  the  eye  of  the 
mover  has  been  cast. 

The  pin  oak,  Quercus  palustris,  is  one 


of  the  handsomest  of  all  the  oaks.  The 
leaves  at  the  time  of  opening  are  a  beau- 
tiful green,  changing  gradually  to  a 
darker  hue  until  in  autumn  it  assumes 
tints  of  brilliant  red.  In  shape  this  oak 
is  broad  and  massive,  with  a  pyramidal 
crown. 

The  English  oak,  (Quercus  robur,  is 
another  beautiful  tree,  with  dilated 
leaves,  bluish  green  underneath  and  paler 
green  above,  changing  late  in  the  season 
to  speckled  brown. 

The  willow  oak,  Quercus  phellos,  is  a 
peculiar  and  graceful  tree,  with  lanceo- 
late leaves  resembling  greatly  those  of  a 
willow.  The  leaves  turn  yellow  in  the 
fall. 

The  red  oak,  Quercus  rubra,  makes  a 
large,  symmetrical  specimen  tree.  The 
leaves  are  large  and  divided  into  bristly

REFORESTING. 


With  the  end  in  view  of  eventually 
bringing  about  the  reforestation  of  the 
pine  barrens  of  upper  Michigan,  the 
Cleveland  Cliffs  Iron  Co.,  of  Neguanee, 
is  carrying  on,  at  considerable  expendi- 
ture, extensive  experiments  of  much  pub- 
lic interest.  It  has  established  two 
nurseries  at  which  pine  trees  are  being 
raised  from  seed.  These  are  at  Negau- 
nee  and  Coalwood,  and  at  each  one 
the  plan  has  to  date  been  attended  with 
entire  success.  White  pine  grown  from 
seed  are  ready  for  transplanting  two 
years  after  sprouting.  Ninety  thousand 
of  these  are  ready  for  this  purpose  now, 
and  they  are  being  set  out  on  cut-over

gus  and  insect  diseases,  and  must  have 
long  life. 

As  to  begin  with,  one  or  even  two 
varieties  can  be  found  containing  all 
these  qualifications,  we  must  manage  to 
combine  them  from  two  or  three  or  per- 
haps a  dozen  different  varieties  and  spe- 
cies of  grapes,  to  be  used  as  parents,  re- 
quiring as  many  generations,  and  in  each 
generation  we  may  have  to  produce  hun- 
dreds of  thousands  of  distinct  seedling 
combinations  before  we  can  get  one  we 
deem  a  sufficient  advance  toward  the 
ideal  to  be  used  as  a  parent  in  the  direct 
line  to  the  ideal  final  product. 

Each  generation,  if  our  knowledge  and 
judgment  have  been  good,  will  furnish 
some  individuals  with  more  of  the  de- 
sired qualities  than  the  previous  genera- 
tion, and  thus  are  used   as  parents  for 


further  breeding.  Even  if  we  do  not 
reach  the  ideal  in  the  first,  second  or 
many  subsequent  generations,  these  gen- 
erations will  furnish  improvements  over 
the  old,  so  we  can  be  using  them  in  a 
commercial  way,  while  we  are  still  striv- 
ing to  get  to  the  ideal. 

How  Munsoa  Worked. 

As  an  instance,  to  get  the  early  red 
market  grape  suited  for  the  south  I  will 
illustrate  by  example,  from  my  home 
place,  in  which  my  father  has  partially 
brought  about  the  ideal,  it  has  not  yet 
been  produced,  for  enough  time  has  not 
elapsed,  but  it  can  be  said  that  it  is  an 
improvement  by  breeding. 

First  the  Lindley  was  used  as  the 
mother  and  the  Delaware  as  the  pollen 
parent.      Among    the    crosses    obtained 


was  the  Brilliant,  a  vigorous,  healthy 
vine  less  subject  to  root  rot  than  Con- 
cord, not  so  resistant  to  severe  cold,  but 
more  enduring  in  the  hot,  dry,  drouthy 
climate  of  Texas;  subject  to  mildew  in 
foliage  as  are  both  parents,  and  like 
them  quite  exempt  from  black  rot.  The 
cluster  and  berry  are  rather  larger  than 
its  mother,  the  Lindley,  though  the  clus- 
ter and  berry  when  the  variety  first  bore 
resembled  the  Delaware,  and  it  ripens 
several  days  ahead  of  its  parents,  both 
the  Lindley  and  Delaware.  The  quality 
is  superb  and  generally  preferred  as  an 
eating  grape  to  the  Delaware.

INDIANAPOLIS. 


Current  G>mment* 

During  the  last  week  we  have  experi- 
enced unseasonable  weather.  It  has  been 
so  cold  that  no  bedding  out  has  been 
attempted,  and  as  soon  as  the  weather 
warms  up  all  can  look  for  a  busy  and 
rushing  time.  Cut  flowers  have  been 
rather  scarce. 

The  last  meeting  of  the  State  Florists' 
Society  was  held  at  Henry  Rieman's 
place.  Those  present  report  a  pleasant 
time.  The  subjects  discussed  were  the 
fall  show  and  the  picnic.  The  latter  will 
be  held  about  June  26,  at  Willowmere, 
on  the  invitation  of  Frank  Harritt. 

The  Tomlinson  Hall  Market  was  well 
supplied.  May  12,  with  all  kinds  of  bed- 
ding plants.  There  were  some  fine  Ric- 
ard  geraniums  to  be  seen.  This  variety 
is  one  of  the  main  bedders  in  this  city. 

E.  A.  Nelson  has  secui*ed  the  contract 
for  this  year  at  Woodruff  place.  It  is 
one  of  the  largest  bedding  orders  in  the 
city.  S. 

RCXX  ISLAND,  ILL. 

The  Tri-City  Florists'  Association  met 
with  Henry  Meyer  May  9.  It  was  the 
regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  associa- 
tion. Plans  are  being  made  for  the  an- 
nual picnic  which  will  take  place  Thurs- 
day, July  11.  The  place  has  not  yet 
been  definitely  decided  upon,  but  the 
picnic  will  probably  be  held  at  Black 
Hawk's  watch  tower.  A  committee  con- 
sisting of  H.  Bryant,  John  Staacljjkand 
Henry  Gaethje  will  'iHB^  the  arrange- 
ments. 

The  topic  which  was  taken^  up  was 
"Peony  Culture;  the  Best  Varieties  for 
Cut  Flowers."  Mr.  Bryant  led  the  dis- 
cussion. Mr.  Bryant's  father,  at  Prince- 
ton, 111.,  is  one  of  the  largest  peony  grow- 
ers in  the  state.  John  Temple  also  gave 
an  interesting  talk  on  the  subject.  After 
the  business  session'  a  social  time  was 
enjoyed  and  a  luncheon  served  by  the 
liost. 

The  next  regular  meeting  will  be  held 
mth  Ewoldt  Bros,  at  Floral  Hill,  North 
Brady  street.  It  is  the  custom  to  meet 
annually  with  the  Ewoldts  during  the 
strawberry  season.  The  next  monthly 
meeting  would  regularly  come  on  June 
13,  but  it  v>'ill  probably  not  be  held  until 
a  week  later,  on  siccount  of  the  tardiness 
of  the  strawberry  season  this  year.

The  Weekly  Florists  Review* 


May  16,  1907. 


GLEN  COVE,  N.  Y. 

A  regular  and  well  attended  meeting 
of  the  Nassau  County  Horticultural  So- 
ciety was  held  at  the  Oriental  hotel  May 
8.  Four  new  members  were  elected  and 
there  were  two  propositions  for  member- 
ship. The  display  of  flowers  by  the  mem- 
bers was  fine.  Alexander  Mackenzie  had 
an  elegant  showing  of  Kichmond  roses. 
Valentine  Cleres  showed  American  Beau- 
ties. Henry  Matz  and  Felix  Mense 
showed  carnations. 

The  essay  of  the  evening  was  by  J.  F. 
Johnson,  "What  Is  the  Best  Time  to 
Plant  Evergreensl"  The  paper  was  fol- 
lowed by  some  spirited  discussion  and 
also  by  a  question  box,  which  brought 
out  some  interesting  and  pertinent 
queries. 

Announcement  was  made  of  some  ad- 
ditional premium  offers  for  the  fall  ex- 
hibition. Mrs.  Paul  Dana  has  promised 
$20  worth  of  books  and  Mr.  Eickards,  of 
New  York,  will  give  $10.  William  H. 
Bowne  has  offered  a  prize  of  $5  for  the 
best  showing  of  dahlias,  the  prize  to  be 
competed  for  at  the  October  meeting. 

Dubuque,  Ia. — W.  A.  Harkett  recently 
addressed  the  Young  Woman's  Christian 
Association  on  "Home  Gardening  and 
the  Care  of  Cut  Flowers."  The  local 
papers  printed  a  considerable  part  of 
his  talk  and  the  result  was  a  good 
impetus  to  trade. 

COFFEYVILLE,  Kan. — The  Forest  Park 
Floral  Co.  has  a  growing  business  and 
has  two  new  greenhouses  now  in  process 
of  construction.  Including  the  new 
houses,  this  establishment  covers  about 
4,000  square  feet  of  ground  surface.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review* 


Mat  16,  1907. 


BALTIMOEE. 


The  Market. 


After  passing  through  another  disa- 
greeable week,  business  has  dropped  off 
a  little;  weather  conditions  are  every 
way  but  seasonable.  Work  of  all  kinds 
is  booked,  but  we  are  unable  to  check  it 
off  and  at  present  there  is  little  prospect 
of  doing  so.  We  have  had  several  frosts 
lately,  and  this  is  unusual  here  at  this 
time  of  the  year.  On  an  average  the 
last  killing  frost  strikes  here  about  April 
15,  but  May  11,  1907,  we  had  a  frost 
which  played  havoc  in  the  farming  sec- 
tions. The  florists  also  were  heavy 
losers. 

Any  quantity  of  cut  flowers  can  be 
had  at  reasonable  figures.  The  street 
boys  are  doing  a  rushing  business.  Lilacs 
are  in,  but  short  in  supply.  Honeysuckle 
seems  to  be  a  little  more  plentiful. 
Greens  of  all  kinds  are  more  regular. 

Various  Notes. 

While  he  was  attending  market  on  a 
recent  Saturday  the  home  of  T.  W.  Gray, 
Catonsville,  Md.,  was  robbed.  A  gold 
watch  and  chain,  some  money  and  vari- 
ous other  articles   are  reported  missing. 

Charles  Cook  has  been  receiving  con- 
gratulations from  his  many  friends  on 
the  arrival,  May  7,  of  a  bouncing  baby 
girl. 

The  pea,  bean  and  strawberry  crops  in 
Anne  Arundel  county  are  in  a  satisfac- 
tory condition  and  picking  will  soon 
start. 

Aug.  Eberhardt  is  still  cutting  some 
fine  Enchantress  carnations  and  offering 
a  nice  lot  of  well  rooted  asters  in  2-inch 
pots. 

John  P.  Willheim,  Gardenville,  Md., 
was  seen  the  other  day  in  town  with  a 
new  rubber-tired  buggy  and  driving  a 
young,  spirited  colt. 

Among  those  who  have  taken  up  the 
idea  of  handling  flower  seeds  in  pack- 
ages in  the  market  are  Mrs.  James  Glass, 
Mrs.  Emma  Hahn  and  Mrs.  F.  Powell, 
and  they  report  trade  on  them  as  satis- 
factory. J.  L.  T.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review^ 


May  16,  1907. 


COLUMBUS,  OHIO. 


ThcMjtfkct. 


The  cold  weather  continues,  with  the 
result  of  maintaining  the  same  good, 
steady  trade  that  we  have  had  for  the 
last  two  months.  While  there  has  not 
been  any  rush,  even  with  the  seedsmen, 
still  the  long  spring  business  will  result 
at  the  end  in  very  favorable  totals  for 
all.  What  is  now  very  much  helping  our 
florists  is  the  fact  that  the  unseasonable 
cold  weather  has  so  fax  kept  the  best 
trade  from  leaving  the  city  for  the  sum- 
mer; for  the  moment  the  settled  heat 
comes,  "society"  begins  to  go,  and  the 
beginning  of  the  "summer  dullness" 
sets  in. 

All  stock  is  in  good  supply  except  car- 
nations, which  are  still  hard  to  obtain  in 
sufficient  quantity  to  amply  supply  all 
the  demands.  Roses  are  especially  fine 
this  week,  some  long-stemmed  Chatenay 
and  Eichmond  being  particularly  in  de- 
mand. Some  fine  lots  of  white  and  ex- 
tra early  Blanche  Ferry  sweet  peas  have 
been  the  feature  of  the  week,  and  at  the 
popular  price  of  25  cents  a  bunch  have 
found  ready  sale.  The  wonderfully  long 
season  that  the  landscape  and  nursery- 
men are  having  insures  a  very  large  busi- 
ness in  these  lines. 

Various  Notes. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Florists ' 
Club,  May  14,  the  club's  prizes  of  $5,  $3 
and  $2  were  awarded  to  the  winners  in 
the  "point  system"  contest,  for  plants 
and  flowers  that  have  been  exhibited  at 
our  meetings  during  the  past  winter  sea- 
son. 

Madison  Miesse,  of  Lancaster,  was  re- 
cently in  town,  and  announces  that  he 
has  secured  the  services  of  Fred  Wind- 
miller,  who  for  several  seasons  had 
charge  of  the  greenhouse  plant  of  the 
Livingston  Seed  Co.  Recently  Mr.  Wind- 
miller  has  been  with  the  Cleveland  Cut 
Flower  Co. 

The  closing  of  Green  Lawn  cemetery  to 
Sunday  burials,  which  plan  went  into 
effect  last  Sunday,  has  resulted  in  mak- 
ing our  florists  busier  on  Friday,  as 
many  more  funerals  are  now  being  held 
on  Saturdays,  especially  late  in  the  aft- 
ernoon. 

The  Livingston  Seed  Co,  is  holding  its 
annual  sale  of  magnolia  trees.  These  are 
a  special  feature  with  this  firm,  which 
disposes  of  them  in  all  the  best  varieties 
in  large  quantities. 

The  official  seal  of  Ohio,  made  from 
thirty  varieties  of  seeds,  all  of  which 
were  grown  in  the  Buckeye  state,  has 
been  installed  as  a  part  of  the  state's 
display  at  the  Jamestown  Exposition.  So 
perfect  in  workmanship  is  it  that  it  ap- 
pears to  be  painted. 

William  Graff,  of  Graff  Bros.,  has  re- 
turned from  a  ten  days*  trip  to  Chicago, 
and  his  firm  is  reaping  some  of  the  re- 
sults of  his  visit,  in  an  American  Beauty 
rose  sale.  Graff  Bros,  make  a  specialty 
of  these  popular  sales,  working  off  lajge 
quantities  of  stock. 

John  Williams  has  adopted  a  unique 
and  popular  idea  in  the  selling  of  his 
tomato  plants.  He  transplants  dozens 
and  twenty-five  plants  into  3-inch  and 
7 -inch  bulb  pans,  and  they  sell  readily. 

M.  B.  Faxon  has  been  invited  to  ad- 
dress the  teachers  and  scholars  of  the 
public  schools  on  the  children's  garden- 
ing problem.  Zero.

The  Weekly  Florists^  Review. 


May  16,  1907. 


LENOX,  MASS. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Lenox  Hor- 
ticultural Society  was  held  Saturday,  May 
4,  with  President  Heeremaus  in  the  chair. 

Thomas  Proctor  was  awarded  a  first- 
class  certificate  of  merit  for  two  fine 
plants  of  Rehmannia  angulata,  grown 
and  shown  for  the  first  time  in  Lenox. 
This  beautiful,  half  hardy,  herbaceous 
perennial  comes  from  central  China.  It 
is  free  flowering.  The  flowers,  borne  up 
the  stem,  are  rosy  purple,  about  three 
inches  in  diameter,  and  have  a  rich  yel- 
low throat,  dotted  with  purple.  The  in- 
dividual blooms  are  large,  striking  and 
showy.  Seed  sown  early  in  the  year  will 
flower  the  same  year.  This  is  a  welcome 
addition  for  conservatory  use. 

Mr.  Proctor  was  also  awarded  two 
certificates  of  cultural  commendation  for 
two  well  grown  plants  of  Schizanthus 
Wisetonensis  in  10-inch  pots  and  Phlox 
divaricata  in   10-inch  pans. 

The  next  meeting  will  be  held  Satur- 
day, May  18,  when  important  business 
will  be  brought  up  before  the  society.

ROSWELL,  N.  M. 

The  weatlier  during  February  and 
March  was  unusually  warm,  but  took  a 
sudden  change  April  20,  when  we  had  a 
big  snow  storm  and  a  hard  freeze  on  top 
of  it,  which  killed  a  lot  of  advanced  flow- 
ering plants.  Since  then  the  weather  has 
been  cold  and  windy. 

May  9  wo  had  a  wet  hail  storm  that 
lasted  for  sixteen  minutes,  but  did  not 
do  much  damage  to  glass,  as  the  stones 
were  small.  All  kinds  of  outdoor  plants, 
however,  suffered  greatly.  Flowering 
plants  that  were  to  come  in  for  Decora- 
tion day  are  no  more  to  be  seen.

Business  seems  to  come  in  spurts,  prob- 
ably Ijecauso  the  most  of  it  is  for  fu- 
nerals. To  say  that  the  market  remains 
well  cleaned  up  is  hardly  putting  it 
strong  enough.  Saturday  and  Sunday 
rtowers  were  so  scarce  that  one  of  the 
commission  houses  borrowed  one  dozen 
sweet  peas  from  a  retailer.  Roses  sell 
at  from  3  cents  to  8  cents  and  are  of 
fine  quality.  Carnations  are  of  an  ex- 
ceptionally good  quality,  and  although 
the  cut  seems  to  be  heavy,  they  are  in 
such  demand  that  one  seldom  sees  any 
at  the  loc'il  commission  houses  one  hour 
after  the  arrival  of  a  shipment.  Sweet 
peas  are  also  of  good  quality  and  sell 
readily  at  from  50  cents  to  75  cents  per 
hundred.  Violets  are  on  their  last  legs. 
Bulbous  stock  still  holds  on,  but  is  noth- 
ing extra.  Smilax  is  a  little  more  plen- 
tiful. Southern  ferns  are  about  the  best 
on  the  market  at  present. 

Various  Notes. 

The  ice  peddlers'  strike  was  of  short 
duration.  The  dealers  agreed  to  give  all 
the  men  a  raise  of  $1  a  week.  This 
means  $16  during  the  winter  and  $18.50 
during  the  summer  months. 

Gus.  H.  Taepke  has  purchased  the 
piece  of  land  occupied  by  him  for  so 
many  years  on  Elmwood  avenue,  also  the 
strip  along  Hunt  street.  It  is  understood 
that  the  old  houses  are  to  give  way  to 
new,  modem  houses  this  summer. 

Beard  Bros,  are  cutting  some  of  the 
finest  carnations  in  this  vicinity. 

The  Lohrman  Seed  Co.  has  gone  quite 
extensively  into  the  tree  spraying  busi- 
ness. This  firm  has  three  or  four  wagons 
rigged  up  with  a  spraying  apparatus,  the 
pressure  being  derived  from  the  regular 
soda  fountain  air-pressure  tanks.      H.  S. 


Sterunq,  III. — The  Sterling  Floral 
Co.  has  planted  a  bed  of  pansies  7x120 
feet  along  the  east  side  of  its  new  car- 
nation house. 

Peterboro,  Ont.  —  .lordan  Bros,  re- 
cently made  a  shipment  of  275  carna- 
tion plants  to  a  florist  at  Adelaide,  South 
Australia.  They  will  be  six  weeks  on  the 
way.

PULVERIZED  SHEEP  MANURE 

One  of  the  most  effective  of  ferti- 
lizers and  largely  used  by  the  best 
growers,  both  as  a  top  dressing  and 
in  the  manure  tanks.  The  raw  mater- 
ial lor  Hunt's  Sheep  Manure  is  the 
droppings  taken  from  solid  floor  sheep 
corrals.  Ordinary  manures  are 
largely  shoveled  up  from  the  ground 
and  contain  a  large  proportion  of  soil 
for  which  you  pay,  but  from  which 
you  get  nothing  except  possibly  weed 
seed.  A  trial  Older  will  convince  the 
most  skeptical  of  the  superiority  of 
our  brand.

INSUFFIQENT  RADIATION. 

I  have  two  parallel  greenhouses,  heated 
with  hot  water.  They  have  4-foot  walls 
and  measure  ten  feet  to  the  ridge.  They 
are  double  boarded  with  matched  lumber, 
with  two  thicknesses  of  tar  paper  be- 
tween. In  House  No.  1,  which  is  16x60 
feet,  the  main  leaves  the  boiler  in  a 
3% -inch  pipe  and  then  divides  into  two 
2% -inch  flows,  each  of  which  feeds  five 
2-inch  return  pipes.  House  No.  2  is 
16x53  feet,  with  an  ell  15x30  at  the  far 
end.  In  this  house  the  3^ -inch  main, 
after  leaving  the  boiler,  is  divided  into 
two  3-inch  flow  pipes,  each  feeding  five 
2-inch  returns.  All  pipes  have  an  up  and 
down  grade  of  one  inch  to  ten  feet,  and 
have  a  direct  drop  of  twenty  inches 
where  they  enter  the  boiler.  All  flows 
are  overhead.  I  have  in  use  a  No.  624 
Burnham  hot-water  boiler,  with  six  sec- 
tions and  a  grate  surface  24x30 ' inches. 
I  burn  soft  coal.  House  No.  2  has  glass 
in  the  gables.  I  wish  to  maintain  a  tem- 
perature of  55  to  60  degrees.  Is  the 
boiler  large  enough  to  do  this  without 
forcing  it? 

The  dimensions  as  you  have  recorded 
them  are  not  sufiicient  to  enable  me  to 
give  an  accurate  estimate  of  your  plant. 
It  is  evident,  however,  that  the  piping 
is  insufficient  to  maintain  even  a  tem- 
perature of  60  degrees.  The  radiation 
should  be  1,000  square  feet  for  a  tem- 
perature of  60  degrees,  and  it  is  evident 
that  there  is  less  than  900  square  feet 
of  radiation  in  the  houses.  If  your  boiler 
has  a  rated  capacity  of  1,500  square  feet 
it  is  large  enough  to  handle  the  plant 
without  forcing.  L.  C.  C. 


WRONG  INSTALLATION. 

I  have  an  east  and  west  greenhouse, 
14x40  feet,  heated  by  a  Wilks  hot  water 
heater.  There  are  three  benches,  with 
three  l^^-inch  flow  pipes  under  each  side 
bench  and  four  under  the  middle  bench. 
There  is  one  1^-inch  return  pipe  under 
each  bench.  The  boiler  is  about  two 
feet  lower  than  the  pipes,  which  grad- 
ually rise  about  fifteen  inches.  The  ex- 
pansion tank  is  at  the  highest  point. 
This  arrangement  did  not  prove  entirely 
satisfactory.  It  was  hard  work  to  keep 
the  heat  up  on  extremely  cold  or  windy 
days.  "What  change  would  you  suggest, 
using  the  l^^-inch  pipe?  I  am  planning 
to  build  a  10-foot  lean-to  and  wish  to 
use  4-inch  pipe.  How  should  it  be  ar- 
ranged? E.  W.  G. 


If  I  read  the  description  of  your  heat- 
ing plant  correctly,  it  is  little  wonder 
you  have  difficulty  in  maintaining  heat 
in  the  house.  It  is  installed  wrong  end 
to ;  that  is,  you  have  too  many  flow  pipes 
and  too  few  and  too  small  returns.  If 
you  will  rearrange  the  heating  plant  by 
carrying  one  2-inch  pipe  from  the  boiler 
under  the  ridge  to  the  far  end  of  the 
house,  there  divide  it  to  supply  three 
coils  of  1%-inch  pipe  of  four  pipes  each 
under  each  of  the  three  benches,  ana 
then  reunite  these  near  the  boiler  into  a 
common  2-inch  return,  you  will  have  the 
plant  right  end  to  and  sufficient  for  a 
temperature  of  60  degrees.  Connect  the 
expansion  tank  by  a  %-inch  pipe  to  the 
main  return  within  a  foot  of  the  boiler 
and  carry  it  six  to  ten  feet  above  the

PIPING  FOR  CARNATIONS. 

I  have  a  greenhouse  30x44  feet,  ten 
feet  to  the  ridge,  with  5-foot  walls  of 
double,  ship-lap  siding;  no  glafis  in  sides. 
I  have  one  2-inch  flow  pipe  and  ten  1- 
inch  returns  to  the  furnace,  with  seven- 
ty feet  of  coil  in  the  furnace  to  heat  the 
water,  and  a  10-inch  flue  direct  from 
the  furnace  to  the  far  end  of  the  house 
and  out.  Now,  I  would  like  to  take  out 
the  flue.  How  much  more  1-inch  pipe 
will  I  need  to  heat  the  building  for 
carnations,  geraniums,  etc.,  and  how 
many  flows  of  2-inch  pipe  will  I  need? 
I  have  heated  the  building  for  ten  years 
with  the  flue  and  ten  1-inch  pipes,  but 
I  want  to  grow  carnations  on  a  bench 
over  the  flue  and  that  would  make  the

have  seen  the  temperature  down  at  20 
degrees  below  zero,  but  for  the  last  two 
years  about  10  to  12  degrees  was  the 
lowest.  E.  P. 

While  I  confess  it  does  not  look  con- 
«istent  with  what  you  state  you  have 
been  doing  with  your  house,  yet  to  heat 
it  to  60  degrees  the  house  should  be  pro- 
vided with  two  2-inch  flow  pipes  and 
thirty  1-inch  returns,  fifteen  supplied 
from  each  return.  I  believe  I  would 
give  the  carnations  a  season's  trial  be- 
fore   modifying   the   heating   plant.

INSUFFICffiNT  BOILER  CAPACITY. 

We  have  one  small  house,  30x70  feet, 
with  four  feet  of  side  glass  and  the 
ridge  at  a  height  of  thirteen  feet.  It 
is  heated  at  present  by  a  Wilks  hot- 
water  heater,  30x48  inches,  made  to  heat 
750  feet  of  radiation.  Our  piping  con- 
sists of  three  3-inch  mains,  with  twelve 
1%-inch  returns,  one  coil  in  the  center 
and  one  on  each  side;  four  pipes  to  a 
•coil.  We  are  splendidly  protected  by 
trees,  etc.,  and  when  the  thermometer 
registered  38  degrees  below  zero  we  held 
the  temperature  at  52  degrees,  though 
we  thus  used  an  immense  quantity  of 
fuel.  This  year  we  wish  to  build  a 
vegetable  house,  16x50  feet,  with  a  2^- 
foot  basement  and  a  low  roof.  No  side 
glass.  This  will  be  at  right  angles  to 
the  other  house,  and  the  boiler-room  is  so 
arranged  as  to  open  into  both  houses. 
Will  our  present  boiler  handle  both 
houses?  How  much  pipe  should  there 
be  in  each  house — one  house  for  a  tem- 
perature of  60  degrees  with  an  outside 
temperature  of  20  degrees  below  zero, 
the  other  house  fpf  vegetables?  We 
could  probably  get  a  good,  cheap  second- 
hand steam  boiler  here.  Would  it  pay 
to  change  to  steam  heSFtj       A.  K.  W. 

The  boiler  in  question  is  not  quite 
large  enough  to  carry  the  present  house, 
30x70  feet,  at  65  degrees.  The  piping 
is  not  quite  sufficient  for  this  tempera- 
ture. Sixteen  li/^-inch  returns,  with 
the  three  3-inch  flow  pipes,  would  make 
the  heating  of  the  house  easier.  The 
proposed  house,  16x50  feet,  can  be  heat- 
ed by  using  one  2  V^ -inch  flow  pipe  and 
twelve  1%-inch  returns.  An  additional 
boiler  with  750  square  feet  of  heating 
capacity  should  be  added,  however.  You 
would  not  be  justified  in  changing  to 
steam.  You  could  save  a  little  on  pip- 
ing, but  more  care  in  firing  would  be 
necessary.    Stick  to  hot  water.  L.  C.  C.

LOOK  and  you  can  see  the  Morehead  operate,  as  all  the  moving 
parts  are  on  the  outside — no  interior  floats  or  buckets  to 
collapse  or  stick. 

LISTEN  and  you  can  hear  it  tilt — proof  positive  ot  its  perfect 
operation.  Let  us  send  a  trap  on  30  days'  trial— our  trap  will

The  dimensions  as  you  have  recorded

It  is  evident,  liowever,  that  the  )ii])ing

sliouhl  be  1,000  square  feet  for  a  tem-

that  there  is  less  than  !)(»0  square  feet 
I  if  radiation  in  the  houses.  If  your  boiler 
has  a  rated  capacity  of  1,500  square  feet 
it  is  large  enough  to  handle  the  plant 
witiiout  forcing.  L.  C.  C.

feet  lower  than  the  pipes,  which  grjjd- 
iiiiily  rise  about  fifteen  inches.  The  ex- 
pan-ion  tank  is  at  the  higliest  point. 
This  arrangement  did  not  ]>rove  entirely

INSUFFICIENT  BOILER  CAPACITY. 

We  have  one  small  house,  30x70  feet, 
Avith  f6,ur  feet  of  sitle  glass  and  the 
ridge  at  a  heiglit  of  thirteen  feet.  It 
is  heated  at  present  by  a  Wilks  hot- 
water  beater,  30x4S  inches,  made  to  heat 
T.IO  feet  of  radiation.  Our  piping  con- 
sists of  three  3-iucli  mains,  with  twelve 
T:.-inch  returns,  one  c(dl  in  the  center 
and  one  on  eacli  side;  four  pipes  to  a 
coil.  We  are  splendidly  protected  by 
trees,  etc.,  and  when  the  thermometer 
registered  38  degrees  below  zero  wo  held 
the  temperature  at  ;1l!  degrees,  though 
we  thus  used  an  immense  quantity  of 
fuel.  This  year  Ave  wish  to  Iniild  a 
vegetable  house,  lGx.")0  feet,  with  a  il^^- 
foot  basement  and  a  low  roof.  No  side 
glass.  This  will  be  at  right  angles  to 
the  other  house,  and  the  boiler-room  is  so 
arranged  as  to  open  into  lioth  houses. 
Will  our  present  boiler  handle  both 
houses?  How  much  pipe  should  there 
be  in  each  house — on<'  house  for  a  tem- 
perature of  00  degrees  with  an  outside

fould  ]irol>ably  get  a  good,  cheap  second-

PINE  BLUFF,  ARK. 

On  May  6  we  had  one  of  the  most 
severe  hail  storms  this  country  ever  ex- 
perienced. A.  A.  Harper's  houses  are  a 
total  wreck.  The  loss  on  houses  and 
plants  was  $400;  there  was  no  insurance. 
Mrs.  C.  A.  Starr  lost  about  the  same 
amount;  N.  F.  Penny,  market  gardener, 
lost  1,800  feet  of  glass.  Hail  or  chunks 
of  ice  over  three  inches  in  diameter  and 
weighing  seven  ounces  were  picked  up. 
Gardens  and  orchards  are  all  cut  and 
beat  up  till  they  are  ruined.  As  the 
spring  is  very  late,  all  the  greenhouses 
were  full  of  bedding  stock;  so  the  loss 
is  great.  Owing  to  the  mildness  of  the 
winter  the  cut  flower  trade  was  bad,  as 
so  many  people  cut  flowers  outdoors  all 
winter.  The  lowest  temperature  we  had 
last  winter  was  27  degrees,  something 
unusual  for  this  climate.  H.

East  Liveepool,  0. — Work  has  begun 
on  the  erection  of  the  four  new  houses 
of  the  Lake  Newell  Floral  Co. 

Buffalo,  N.  Y. — The  florists*  union 
has  made  a  demand  upon  the  employing 
florists  for  a  decrease  in  the  number  of 
hours  a  day  they  work  and  have  threat- 
ened to  go  on  strike  if  the  demand  is 
not  granted.  They  work  nine  and  a  half 
hours  at  present  and  desire  the  half  hour 
cut  off.  So  far  the  florists  who  employ 
union  men  have  not  acceded  to  the 
demand.

PITTSBURG. 


The  Market. 


Snow,  rain  and  ice  in  the  middle  of 
May  are  not  conducive  to  good  business, 
and  all  of  these  we  had  last  week. 
Greenhouse  men  usually  are  cleaned  up 
by  Decoration  day,  but  up  to  this  time 
have  not  been  able  to  deliver  anything 
and  are  wondering  how  they  will  be  able 
to  handle  the  stock  quick  enough  to  sat- 
isfy their  customers  when  the  weather 
settles.  Vegetation  was  farther  advanced 
in  March  than  ever  was  known,  but  now 
the  middle  of  May  finds  it  farther  back 
than  the  oldest  inhabitant  can  remember 
at  this  season.  The  warm  March  brought 
shrubbery  into  leaf  and  the  cold  since 
has  killed  much  of  it.  ,  In  many  places 
deutzia,  weigelia  and  stock  op  that  kind 
has  been  killed  to  the  ground  and  her- 
baceous stock  has  suffered  in  the  same 
way.  One  of  our  prominent  gardeners 
says  that  there  was  more  stock  killed 
this  year  than  any  other  year  in  his  rec- 
ollection, and  most  of  it  since  April  11. 
The  continued  rains  have  kept  the  farmer 
back  in  his  work  of  getting  in  spring 
crops.  In  some  cases  oats  are  not  yet 
planted. 

Among  the  cut  flower  growers  stock 
becomes  more  plentiful  every  day.  There 
is  nothing  short  and  many  things  are  a 
drug,  especially  sweet  peas.  Some  of  the 
retailers  still  complain  about  business, 
but  they  seem  to  be  busy  enough  and  I 
imagine  it  has  just  gotten  to  be  a  habit. 

Qub  Meeting. 

At  the  club  meeting  May  7  bedding 
plants  were  exhibited  by  I.  S.  Crall  Co., 
of  Monongahela,  Pa.,  and  by  Blind  Bros. 
The  discussion  of  varieties  brought  out 
the  fact  that  one  successful  grower  grew 
only  three  varieties  of  geraniums,  one 
red,  one  white  and  one  pink,  and  the 
beat  variety  of  each  color.  He  grows 
these  well  and,  while  he  has  a  large  busi- 
ness, never  has  any  trouble  satisfying 
his  customers  and  always  sells  out  at  top 
prices. 

A  paper  on  credits  was  read  by  T.  P. 
Langhans,  of  the  Pittsburg  Cut  Flower 
Co.,  in  which  he  called  attention  to  the 
loose  manner  in  which  florists  as  a  rule 
conduct  their  business  aflFairs,  many  of 
them  having  only  one  object:  to  dispose 
of  their  stock,  without  taking  proper 
care  of  how  they  are  going  to  get  their 
money.  He  also  called  attention  to  the 
way  florists  let  a  beat  go  the  rounds  and 
stick  everybody  before  he  is  found  out, 
and  suggested  an  association  such  as  they 
have  in  other  trades  where  competition 
is  greater  than  ours,  showing  by  figures 
how  their  losses  had  been  reduced  sixty- 
five  per  cent.  He  also  censured  the  trade 
for  carelessness  in  making  collections,  al- 
lowing accounts  to  stand  for  fear  of  of- 
fending    customers,     while     the     florist

not  pay  his  bills. 

The  paper  was  well  written  and  caused 
considerable  Comment.  John  Bader,  ini 
commenting  on  it,  said  the  conclusion 
he  had  come  to  was,  "get  your  mone^ 
or  keep  your  stock";  that  he  is  tired  of 
the  class  who  are  traveling  around  buy-

men  they  buy  :^om  because  they  do  not

Various  Notes. 

Charles  Dougherty,  of  McKeesport,  is 
one  of  the  crack  checker  players  of  this 
end  of  the  state,  but  there  are  other 
checker  players  among  the  craft.  E.  L. 
B.  West,  of  A.  W.  Smith's;  A.  W.  Smith, 
Jr.,  and  George  Marshall  each  knows 
when  it  is  his  move. 

J.  B.  Murdoch  &  Co.  say  that  stock 
moves  fairly  well  and  that  receipts  are 
heavy. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jos.  H.  Seaman,  of 
Washington,  Pa.,  were  visitors  last  week.

PEOPLE  who  know  a  good  thing   when  they  see  it,  and  will  take  advantage 
of  the  same,  must  be  possessed  with  good  judgment  and  are  generally  suc- 
cessful.   One  of  our  successful  growers  has  this  year  taken  out  6ooo  feet  of 
wooden  gutters,  which  were  only  5  years  old,  and  replaced  the  same  with  6000  feet 
of  the  GARLAND  IRON  GUTTER,  this  being  his  fifth  annual  order. 

Our  long  list  of  orders  of  this  kind  is  our  best  reference.    By  writing  any  oi 
the  large  growers  at  Chicago  you  will  confer  a  favor  on  the

consideration.  What  we  have  to  say  is  printed  up  in  this  small  catalog, 
and  arranged  so  the  hurry  man  can  get  at  the  meat  instantly.  Drop  us  a 
postal  and  along  will  come  the  "Cold  Facts."

THE  SICCESSFIL  GROWER 

lO       I  n  L.      lTl/\nl   who  looks  ahead.    He  starts  right 

hy  building  houses  that  will  produce  results — houses  that  will 
stand  the  test  when  it  comes  to  growing.  Our  customers  are  suc- 
cessful because  they  dse  the  right  kind  of  material — you  can't 
hope  to  grow  the  right  kind  of  stock  with  the  wrong  kind  of  a 
house.  Here's  a  line  from  the  most  successful  growers  in 
America — you  all  know  them — it's  not  a  statement  written  by 
someone  you  never  heard  of: 

"Gentlemen'— During  the  past  four  years  we   have 
added  376,000  sq.  ft.  of  glass  for  which  you  supplied  the 
material.    It  affords  us  {,'reat  pleasure  to  say  that  all  the 
material  and  worbmanslilp  was  highly  satisfactory  "

N0W9  When  You  Received  that  Other  Estimate  from  the 

Other  Chap  that  You  Thought  would  be  so  Much  Lower 

than  Ours,  did  His  Price  Include  Priming  the  Material? 

Did  he  say  how  he  primed  the  material  ?  We  have  told  you  every  once- 
in-a-while  the  way  we  do  this  painting  business;  how  cypress  absorbs 
more  oil  than  most  woods,  and  that  a  mere  brushed-on  prime  coat  can- 
not be  as  lasting  as  our  "soaked  in"  method.  This  soaked  in  method  is 
simply  placing  the  materials  right  in  a  vat  of  pure  oil  and  oxide  of  iron, 
where  they  actually  do  SOak*  Then  they  are  stood  up  to  drip.  The 
wood  takes  all  the  oil  it  needs;  when  you  put  on  your  second  coat,  the 
wood  does  not  absorb  the  oil,  leaving  the  pigment  ready  to  chalk  off. 
Next  week  we  are  going  to  tell  you  something  about  a  special  white  lead 
that  we  make,  that  prevents  mildew  or  blisters. 


w-. 


Don't  believe  for  a  minute  that  the  "hardware 
man's,"  or  any  other  man's  paint  will  do  for  a 
greenhouse.  It  miist  be  a  rreenhouse  paint 
made  for  grreenhouaes,  that  la,  if  you  don't  want 
mildew  or  blisters.
