Lilies for Easter
^MMi^ NOW READY TO BOOK YOUR ORDER
Randall's Easter crop of Lilies is famous — everybody who ever has tried them knows that there
never are any finer and seldom any as good. For years and years Randall's Lilies have been the standard
by which all other Lilies have been judged. Some years one grower and some years another will claim to
have Lilies " as good as Randall's," but Randall's Lilies always have been acknowledged as the leader.
Tkes^ are true Giganteums — the best bulbs money would buy, forced by the best grower we know. Natu-
rally, we have the best flowers. Easter is unusually early this year, and it is all the more important to
place your order with the most dependable source of supply — there will be a great many over-forced Lilies
on the market, stock that won't stand shipping. Our Lilies will be just right. They wiU be packed at the
greenhouses in wooden boxes of 100 flowers each. Order as many as you need — Bastei is only three ,
weeks away. piOw BOOKING ADVANCE ORDERS

Gentlemen : In looking over our advertising records for the last few years, we find that your publication has made a remarkable
record. Since we began to advertise with you in 1907, for every dollar we have spent we have received 18.74 in direct sales. This leaves out,
of course, all the indirect influences which our advertising has had, which, no doubt, amounts to a great deal.
We think it only due you to let you know these facts, and Mrm wUl b« glBd at any time to testify to the value of yonr pub-
lication as a medium for reactalns: talKh*Bmule Qoiists.
Thanking you for your many favors, we are. ' Yours very truly.

If we are sure of anything, it Is that this is the best basKet bargain oppor-
tun ty that will be piesented to you for many a day. Kou will be missing a
royal chance If you let It go by. Something Is radically wrong If these bas-
kets dofi't strike you right. They are our own manutacture. ttnlsned with
extreme care, and represent basket-making at Its best. We don't believe
there are any Plant Baskets to touch them.

THE RETAIL
^
FLORIST...
A NEGATIVE SUOaESTION.
The Eeview has received a page from
the Public Ledger marked "From the
Philadelphia Publicity Bureau. Get the
trade busy on this negative suggestion.
Charles Henry Fox." The "negative
suggestion" is an item headed "Lower
the High Cost of Dying," under a Cin-
cinnati date line, and reads as follows:
"A novel way to decrease the 'high
cost of dying' has been devised by the
board of managers of St. Xavier's
church, one of the largest Catholic par-
ishes in southern Ohio. An announce-
ment has been made that in the future
no funerals to which flowers are per-
mitted to be sent will be permitted held
in the church. It also was announced
that in the place of flowers the parish,
at its own expense, will issue memoriam
cards to all the friends of the deceased,
announcing the death and a brief biog-
raphy of the deceased. One of the man-
agers stated that it was the beginning
of a nation-wide movement that, has been
started in the last month."
Every once in a while an item like
this finds its way into print, and almost
always The Eeview receives several cop-
ies, from florists who fear the worst is
about to happen. It is, as Mr. Fox says,
a "negative suggestion," and one not
to be advertised by opposition, but The
Review has several times stated its
opinion that no great amount of harm
can come of such efforts to do away
with flowers at funerals. The Eeview
told the trade not to get excited about
the fad of wearing artificial corsage
flowers; that it would soon die out; and
it did. Don't be alarmed at "Please
omit flowers" in funeral notices — they
won't help, but so long as flowers are
recognized as "messengers of senti-
ment" their use will not be curtailed
to any appreciable extent by the acts
of those whose only idea is to cut the
cost.
EASTER PLANTS.
Question: Will the early Easter re-
duce the number of good blooming
plants that will be ready?
Answer: It will not. The plants will
he finer and there will be more of them
than ever before.
. These are facts that foreshadow an
immense business this month, for with
the stock assured our retailers all over
the country have the energy and brains
to meet the unusual conditions of this
*^->*'"^ordinarily early Easter. The stock,
aided by cultural skill and excellent
weather, is in wonderfully fine condi-
tion. There has actually been no
lorcmg; the stock has been brought on
naturally. The idea that a plant must
"f nard enough to stand shipping, to
stand well in the store and then to
stand well in home or church has put
^n^^" *^ I'igli temperatures in flower-
"?,/"0f.t high grade plants.
I tie lily is first among Easter
brought into general notice. There
are practically no diseased lilies on the
benches today. Giganteums form the
bulk of the stock, but there are a good
many multiflorums and a good many
Formosas. These three types give a
range of heights as comprehensive as
the different sizes afford variety in the
number of buds to each plant.
The azalea once came next to the lily
in order of popularity as an Easter
plant. It does so no longer, through
no fault of its own. It has gone down
several places because it is less satis-
factory than formerly, both from a cul-
tural and from a monetary standpoint.
The rose stands next to the lily to-
day. Its advance is due mainly to the
plants

progress made in developing the Wichu-
raiana type. Crimson Rambler still stands
at the head of the varieties suitable
for Easter forcing. Next come the pink
ramblers, then the baby class — Phyllis,
Orleans, Mrs. Taft, and Mrs. Cutbush
are all coming forward as fine sorts.
The hybrid roses, led by Magna
Charta, Frau Karl Druschki and Soleil
d'Or, are also good. The hybrid teas
include Richmond, Killarney and a few
others.
The hydrangea shows an advance
equal to that of the rose. The new
French varieties, seen in small num-
bers last season, have taken their place
side by side with Otaksa. There are
eight or nine of these varieties. All
can be had in quantity. The flowers
are not quite so large as on Otaksa, but
the colors are simply exquisite. in their
soft clearness. The plants are, as a
rule, exceedingly well budded, making
them showy. The bulk of the hydran-
geas, both standard and novel, are in
salable medium sizes.
Astilbe Japonica Gladstone, com-
monly called spirtea, has crowded out
nearly all other varieties. They are so
fine this year that there is little left
to desire. A few of the pink spiraea,
Queen Alexandra, are seen.
Genistas in the larger sizes are supe-
rior to anything offered last season. The
best are remarkably fine, the result of
culture and a cool temperature steadily
maintained.
Rhododendrons show the result of
skill on both sides of the water. The
plants were good when they came, and
they have had good treatment since,
with no need of fire heat to bring them
on and spoil them now.
These are the principal Easter plants
grown in great quantity for wholesal-
ing. Daisies, deutzias, hyacinths, tulips,
-narcissi, valley, lilacs, etc., are grown
in smaller quantities and are less seen
in the big markets, although often
grown by the retailers on their own
places.
The stock for Easter is so fine that a
good Easter is in sight, the battle half
won, for with good stock it is less dif-
ficult to command success. Phil.
SWEET PEAS IN SPRAYS.
Since the introduction of the winter-
flowering sweet peas, and the long-
stemmed varieties, retail florists have
come to use the flower for practically
every purpose, even for funeral sprays.
There are those who think the use of
sweet peas for funeral purposes will de-
tract from the popularity of the flower
for corsage and other finer uses, but this
seems an exaggerated view. At any
rate, the modern sweet pea makes a
handsome funeral spray, as is shown by
the accompanying illustration, prepared
from a photograph supplied by J. L.
Easke, a Chicago retailer.
HER TWENTY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY.
A recent issue of a newspaper pub-
lished in Muskogee, Okla., tells a story
— presumably a true> story— about a
florist in that city who unintentionally
entered into -conflict with Cupid and
almost upset the little love-god's plans.
The florist in the case was Oscar
Werner, proprietor of the Hyde Park
Greenhouses. Another leading charac-
ter in the tale was a young man who
had frequently purchased flowers from
Mr. Werner. Still another character
of consequence was the young l^dy to
whom many of the roses had been sent.
On the occasion referred to in the
story, the young lady had ^attained
her twenty-fourth birthday. Of course,
there was nothing peculiar or remark-
able about that; twenty-fourth birth-
days are common enough, since every
person of mature years must have had
one. Still, it is important, in this in-
stance, to remember the lady's age,
for the young man resolved to send'
her just two dozen roses, one for each
year of her life.
So he sent the order for the two
dozen roses, with the address to which
20

they were to be delivered, and he sent
his card, to be enclosed with the flowers
as usual. But Mr. Werner, the florist,
knew nothing about the aforementioned
birthday, and he did not know that
the lover had written on the card,
"Here's a rose for every year of your
age." And Mr. Werner should not
be blamed for not discovering that in-
scription, since it was written on the
back of the card, where no one expects
anything to be written. He did know,
however, that he had an abundant
supply of roses. So he decided to be
generous in filling the order and to
give the young couple a pleasant sur-
prise.
Here the newspaper narrator goes on
to tell, seemingly just for the purpose
of keeping the reader in suspense a
while, that on the night of the birth-
day the lover took unusual care in
preparing his toilet. He tried to ima-
gine how happy she would be, just
what she would, say and how beautiful
she would appear. Her picture on the
wall seemed to smile at him as he
stood and gazed at it for a minute
or so just before leaving the room.
He could hardly wait for the front
door to open, and he was ready for
a hearty greeting from Her. After
an unusually long period of waiting,
the door finally did open, but no smil-
ing, love-lit face was upturned to his.
The young woman merely stared at her
startled lover and said icily, ' ' Come in.
You have some explaining to do. I
want to know where you acquired such
a crude sense of humor."
But it is useless to attempt to de-
scribe the tragedy and pathos of that
conference; none but a poet could do
justice to the scene — and, alas, there
is no poet on the staff of The Eeview.
The brief but bitter truth is that the
young man, after long and painful be-
wilderment, discovered that the lady
had received three dozen roses instead
of two dozen. Then he spent the rest
of the miserable evening trying to ex-
plain matters, with only partial success.
He hurried to the greenhouse before
going to work next morning and asked
Mr. Werner how in the world he had
happened to put an extra dozen roses
in the order. Mr. Werner stated what
his motives had been, and then asked,
"Didn't your friend like them?"
"Oh, she "was simply crazy about
them," said the young man rather
ambiguously, as he walked away.
A COMPLETE BECOBD.
A few weeks ago we saw in The

A Form That Tefls the Whole Story.
worked in the greenhouses on Sundays,
so they kept the market open also; we
have simply followed in the rut, and it
will take another generation, probably,
for us to grow out of it. There is no
real reason why either the wholesale
or the retail florist should open on
Sunday. The greenhouses must, of
course, be watched, the houses venti-
lated, the stock watered, and the fires
kept up, for the laws of nature know
no holiday. But that is no excuse for
opening our wholesale and retail stores
on Sunday. Every man, even a florist,
is entitled to one day's rest out of the
seven. We can not close up by mutual
agreement, for there is always someone
who will not cooperate with the bal-
ance of the trade, and so the only way
out of the dilemma is to have a state
law passed making it illegal for florists
to keep open on Sundays. It will not
decrease the quantity of flowers sold.
People will soon adjust themselves to
the need of providing flowers during
the week days, and such a law will put
the florists on a plane with the other
merchants who have one day out of
seven for rest and recreation. The
florist is human and entitled to human
consideration. " C. A. M.
PABCEL POST CHANGES.
The amplification of the parcel post
service has begun.
By a recent order of the Postmaster
General, parcels may now be sent spe-
cial delivery, the same as letters. All
one has to do is to af&x a special de-
livery stamp, or 10 cents in ordinary
postage stamps, indicating that the lat-
ter are for the special delivery, and the
package gets the same treatment as a
special delivery letter.
Parcel post packages may now be
sent C. O. D. The postage must be
fully prepaid. A fee of 10 cents in
parcel post stamps, which must be af-
fixed to the package, is the charge for
collection. The amount to be collected
must not exceed $100. Such parcels
are insured without extra charge to
the amount of actual value, not exceed-
ing $50.
Special delivery parcels may be sent
through all offices having special de-
livery service and C. O. D. packages
wUl be accepted at money order offices
when addressed to money order of-
fices.
FBEY TUENS PUBLISHER.
C. H. Frey, the well known florist
at Lincoln, Neb., has turned publisher.
He calls his monthly magazine The
Posey. It consists of four pages of
jokes bound in a neat cover. The
front is decorative, the fourth cover
carries Mr. Frey's ad, while the sec-
ond and third covers, of the first issue,
carry a story of the rise of the Frey
establishment, as follows:
"In May, 1887, I purchased two lots
at Twentieth and L streets, and began
the erection of two greenhouses, and
a small cottage (previous to this I had
made the acquaintance of a lady who
had consented to cook for me). The
two greenhouses were completed by
fall and stocked with plants commod
in that day as pot plants and for the
production of cut flowers.
"The lady friend having become my
wife, we opened our two houses for
business October 1. Not being blessed
with a surplus of cash (or credit), we
could not afford to hire help, so had to
do all the work about the place our-
selves. But having started out with
a determination to make the venture a
success (having had previous to this
five years of schooling in this my
chosen profession), I knew how to
grow flowers, so all we needed now was
customers. These came at once, and
continued to come, and brought others,
so that the business soon had to be
expanded. At the close of the second
year we had to seek more land. Not be-
ing able to buy more adjoining our
plant, we moved the plant to Twenty-
second and G streets, where my father
had five acres, and added a few more
houses.
"While this venture proved a profit-
able one, it was not a satisfactory one
for me, but we continued to do busi-
ness here for four years, then turned
this plant over to my father.
"After Looking around a short time
we purchased five acres southeast of
Lincoln, situated on Thirty-fifth street,
four blocks south of South street,
where we built seven large houses, a
residence, bams and such other build-
ings as were necessary to the success-
ful operation of the plant.

fall of 1894, we were again ready to
<jo business. Being situated, as we were,
out in the country, we had to open a
store in the city, so we located at 1133
0 street, opening for business Septem-
ber 1 1894, and from the first day our
trade' was satisfactory, and continued
to increase, so that we had to buy more
land and build more houses to meet
this increased demand, until today we
own forty-four acres of land adjoining
the five acres bought in 1894, have a
greenhouse plant consisting of twenty-
nine large houses, many of these being
28x200 feet in size, the plant contain-
ing over 150,000 square feet of glass,
devoted exclusively to the growing of
cut flowers and potted plants. This
plant requires five large steam boilers
to furnish steam for heating same,
three windmills and a large electric
motor to furnish water, large packing
sheds, pot sheds, building for wagons,
tools, etc. Close to the plant we have
our residence, also eight cottages for
the men.
"To make a long story short, we
will briefly state that from the two
small houses erected in 1887 we" have
grown to our mammoth plant of today,
requiring an investment of close to
$100,000,. thirty men the year around as
growers, packers and salesmen, 2,500
tons of coal to furnish heat, thousands
of boxes and cases for the shipment of
flowers and plants.
"Where do all these flowers gof We
are often asked this question, and will
say here that, besides a large retail
trade in Lincoln and the western
states, we do a large wholesale busi-
ness over the whole country, shipping
to hundreds of other greenhouses in
almost everv state of the Union."
INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.
With the opening of the Interna-
tional Flower Show only one month
away, the management and the various
committees are, naturally, most active
in their work of preparation for the big
event.
Wm. Duckham, Madison, N. J., has
been appointed manager of the compet-
itive section of the show, and his ap-
pointment meets with the hearty ap-
proval of the trade.
Some changes have been made in the
dates of staging exhibits in certain sec-
tions of the show. Exhibits in Division
F, which cover retail florists' rose dis-
plays, will be staged Saturday, April 5,
instead of Monday, April 7. Division
O, covering collections of roses and
open to private gardeners and amateurs
only, will also be staged April 5, in-
stead of April 7. Division B, covering
cut roses, will be staged April 7, instead
f -^Pril 5. These divisions form part
of the section allotted to the American
■Kose Society. A supplementary sched-
V u ^^^^ published and sent out, in
which these changes are noted, as well
• ^^ Jl^a^iy new prize offers.
The judging of all the exhibits staged
on the opening day will be completed
prior to the formal opening of the show,
seventy judges will pass on the ex-
ploits during the afternoon, the judg-
A 1? ^o™nience promptly at 3 o 'clock,

lied upon that the exhibition will be
entirely in order and in readiness for
the public.
Those in the trade who intend mak-
ing exhibits in the trade exhibition, a
feature of the show, should lose no time
in arranging for space. Secretary John
Young can still provide some excellent
locations and will be pleased to furnish
any information regarding accommoda-
tion on application to him at 54 West
Twenty-eighth street, New York.
A meeting of the bowling committee
of the National Association of Garden-
ers was held at the Murray Hill hotel,
New York city, February 25. The fol-
lowing members were present: John
Dodds, Wyncote, Pa.; William Eob-
ertson, Jenkintown, Pa.; James Stuart,
Mamaroneck, N. Y.; John Everett, Glen
Cove, N. Y.; A. Bauer, Deal, N. J.
President W. H. Waite, Yonkers, N. Y.,
and Secretary M. C. Ebel, of Madison,
N. J., also were present.
All arrangements were completed to
hold the bowling tournament on
Thumm's alleys, Broadway and Thirty-
first street, Wednesday, April 9. One
entire floor, consisting of twelve alleys,
has been engaged and additional alleys
reserved on the next floor if they are
required. The entire day will be given
over to the tournament. As has al-
ready been reported, the bowling will
be open to members of the Society of
American Florists and members of the
National Association of Gardeners.
Teams of three men, members of any
ui'
local florists' or gardeners' society or
club, and members either of the N. A.
G. or S. A. F., will be eligible in the
team tournament.
Some of the members of the com-
mittee reported that they have had ad-
vice from several southern and west-
ern cities that local club teams are prac-
ticing to enter, and it is the hope of the
association that every local society, or
club, will be represented by a team.
President Waite offers a piece of silver, value
of $50, as a sweepstake prize, to be competed
for by the tliree members of the S. A. F. and
three members of the N. A. G. making the high-
est scores of the tournament.
Ex-President Logan offers a silver cup for
the greatest number of strikes made in the tour-
nament in three gatties, the sweepstake contest
excluded.
Secretary Ebel offers a silver cup for the high-
est score made in the tournament, the sweep-
stake contest excluded.
Treasurer James Stuart offers three prizes of
the value of $30 for the winning team of three
men members from a local gardening or florists'
club, and members of either the N. A. G. or
S. A. F.
A sliver cup Is offered for the highest number
of spares in the tournament In three games, the
sweepstake contest excluded.
A long list of prizes Is offered for the indi-
vidual tournament, to which the committee ex-
pects to add considerably before the event.
Everything indicates that the tour-
nament, which will occur during the
week of the International Flower Show,
will be an interesting affair. It will
probably bring together a greater num-
ber of the bowlers among the gardeners
and florists than were ever before gath-
ered in a bowling tournament.
Further information, if desired, can
be obtained by addressing M. C. Ebel,
secretary of the N. A. G., Madison,

A Successful Convention.
Favored with an unusually large at-
tendance, the eighth annual meeting of
the Illinois State Florists' Association
opened at Peoria, March 4, and was pro-
nounced without question one of the
most successful conventions of the or-
ganization. In Peoria the visitors found
not only a warm welcome, as voiced
individually by Mayor E. N. Woodruff
in behalf of the city, but the Jefferson
hotel, where the meetings and headquar-
ters were located, offered a most excel-
lent means of displaying the exhibits to
advantage. Outside of offering the best
of meeting rooms, the Gold room afforded
exhibition possibilities such as have
never been available at any previous
meeting, and the rooms were thronged
during the session with public visitors,
who were better able to appreciate the
splendid displays. As to the flowers
exhibited, the entries were more than
worthy of the occasion, and not only
local but out-of-town exhibitors made
the best of the facilities offered.
The business session of the first day
occupied the best part of the afternoon,
and after the re-election of the officers
installed last year only one matter of
importance was taken up. It was the
florists' experiment station at Urbana
that furnished the topic. On complaint
of George B. Franks, of Champaign, who
addressed a letter to the association, the
members entered into a debate on
whether or not the station should enter
into the Champaign market by selling
its surplus flowers to a Champaign re-
tailer. It was claimed by Mr. Franks
and others that the flowers when cut by
the experiment station had matured
beyond their best, and the sale of the
same in Champaign was a detriment to
the cut flower business, inasmuch as
they were below the standard sold by
other florists and lowered the public
opinion as to the keeping qualities of
carnations, the principal flower in ques-
tion. After a heated argument the mat-
ter was tabled without action, although
J. E. Yates offered a resolution that
these flowers be shipped to open mar-
kets rather than offered in any one
local market.
President's Address.
President Loveridge addressed the as-
sociation in part as follows: "While we
have not grown in numbers as fast as
most of us would like, for I believe
every florist in Illinois should be a
member, yet. we have had the eyes of
other states on us in our progress in
experimental lines. But much as has
been accomplished in the past, there are
greater things for the future, for won-
derful as has been the progress of the
florists' business during the last quarter
of a century, yet I consider it today
only in its infancy, and it is up to us, as
members of this association and as indi-
viduals, to do our part in bringing this
healthy infant to maturity.
"There are a few things I would
recommend for the association to do.
First, we are all vitally interested in
fertilizers, and there should be a state
law enacted compelling every manufac-
turer or dealer in fertilizers to have an
analysis made and printed on the bags
or packages, so the purchaser may know
just what he is getting for his money.
And whenever the contents do not come
up to the standard, the state should
prosecute.
"Second, I would recommend to our
advisory board to work with the faculty
at the university to have a portion of
our appropriation set aside to defray
the expenses of sending a competent
man to any part of the state where a
florist is troubled with any unusual in-
sect pest or plant disease, to study the
local conditions and find out the cause
of same and recommend a remedy, there-
by saving the florists of the state hun-
dreds and sometimes thousands of dol-
lars.
"Then I would recommend that a
standing committee of three be ap-
pointed by this association to appraise
any loss a member of our association
may have through any cause where an
impartial appraisement is wanted. This
matter was brought forcibly to my at-
tention about a year ago while trying
to settle a loss I had through gas, with
the superintendent of the gas company,
when he told me the trouble he had in
getting competent and impartial advice
in the matter."
Treasurer's Report.
Treasurer Washburn reported on the
finances as follows:
Balance Maroh 1, 1912 1234.01
Received from secretary 147.00
Total l-SSLOl
Plsbursements 182.95
Balance March 1. 1913 J/198.06
Secretary's Report.
Secretary J. F. Ammann reported hav-
ing added forty-nine new members to
the annual membership, and having en-
rolled six life members. Much of this
is due to the work of the booth com-
mittee during the S. A. F. meeting at
Chicago. "More credit is due C. F.
McCormick, of Chicago, than to any
other man for securing new members,"
said Mr. Ammann, "yet we are indebted
to several other members for much
active work along this line. Our mem-
bership now stands 220 annual mem-
bers and forty-eight life members. We
lost one highly respected member in the
de.ith of that grand old pioneer florist,
Joseph Ileinl, of Jacksonville."
The Annual Banquet.
The annual banquet was held Tuesda\'
evening, March 4, at the Jefferson hotel,
and was largely attended. It was a
most successful affair in every respect —
excellent repast and excellent talks fol-
lowing the feast.
Wednesday's Session.
Wednesday one session was held, de-
voted principally to the consideration
of the work done at the florists' experi-
ment station at the t'^niversity of
Illinois. Eeports were presented by
H. B.*Dorner, F. W. Muncie and G. L.
Peltier, which are given in this issue in
as much detail as their considerable
length will permit.
W. N. Rudd presented a short paper
on landscape gardening as a means of
increasing a florist 's business and profits,
which is presented in full in this issue.
The place of next meeting came up at
this session. Both Peoria and Danville
wanted the 1914 convention, with Dan-
ville the likely choice of the executive
committee, as a resolution was adopted
asking the Indiana State Florists' Asso-
ciation to meet at Danville in joint ses-
sion.
During the afternoon of Wednesday
luncheon was served at the greenhouses
of President Loveridge, and the mem-
bers spent the hours inspecting this and
other establishments.
The Exhibition.
The exhibition was more than usually
interesting. While possibly not much
larger than at some of the earlier meet-
ings, the stock was more attractively
staged, amid better surroundings, and
attracted large crowds during the hours
the show was open to the public. The
exhibitors were :
Peterson Floral Co., of Gibson Cit}-,
111., staged a handsome vase of Enchant-
ress carnations.
Fred M. Hanson & Co.. of Peoria,
showed five varieties of good sweet peas
and a number of well grown cyclamens.
G. Swenson, of Elmhurst, 111., exhib-
ited 100 flowers of a winter-blooming
Spencer sweet pea which caused much'
comment, the type being true and the
flowers and stems excellent.
A. Washburn & Sons, of Bloomington.
exhibited ^ix vases of Princess of Wales
violets, long one of their specialties, and,
as usual, of excellent quality.
M. & S. L. Dysinger, of Albion, Mich.,
sent a vase of a pink seedling carnation,
a cross between Enchantress and Lawson,
that was well liked.
Henry Baer, of Peoria, showed six va-
rieties of carnations, Benora. St. Nicho-
las, Rose-pink Enchantress, Washington,
Enchantress and White Enohantress, all
in good shape.
Frank B. Smith's Sons, of Danville,
111., staged an exceedingly fine exhibit of
blooming plants, including cyclamens,
pansies, violets, begonias, etc. As was
the case last year, a violet, a sport of'
MABCH 0, 1913.
The Florists' Review
23
Gov. Herrick, was shown in attractive
shape. Smith's Sons also were repre-
sented on the carnation tables by a crim-
son seedling, No. 108-81 ; by a variegated
seedling, by Benora and by Victory.
W. H. GuUett & Sons, of Lincoln, 111.,
were represented by an interesting dis-
play of Easter blooming plants, cyclamen,
American Beauty rose plants, Koosevelt
ferns, Easter lilies, etc.
The Rue Floral Co., of Peoria, put up
;i handsome table decoration of Killarney
roses and sweet peas, probably as much
admired by the public as any other ex-
liibit in the room.
Poehlmann Bros. Co., of Chicago, made
an excellent showing of roses and carna-
tions. In roses, Killarney, White Kil-
larney, Eichmond and Mrs, Taft were on
display and were of the usual high
quality staged at so many flower shows
by this exhibitor. The carnations in-
cluded all the leading varieties grown
at Morton Grove and were in equally
good shape.
A. C. Brown, of Springfield, showed a
number of vases of well grown carna-
tions, including Gloriosa, White Wonder,
Sangamo and Mrs. C. W. Ward,
Chas. Loveridge, of Peoria, had the
largest exhibit of roses, carnations, bulb-
ous stock, etc., in the hall. His narcissi
were especially good. Killarney, White
Killarney and a number of carnations
were shown. Cut flowers arranged in
baskets for effect were also on display,
as well as orchid plants.
Bassett & Washburn, of Chicago,
sliowed a vase of red seedlings and were
the only ones to display the Sunburst and
T^ady Hillingdon roses, Ehea Eeid was
also shown in good shape.
Wendland & Keimel Co., of Elmhurst,
III., displayed a splendid lot of roses,
notable for the length of bud and excel-
lence of color. The varieties were Kil-

LANDSCAPING BY FLORISTS.
(A paper by W. N. Rudd, Morgan Park, III.,
read before the Illinois State Florists' Association
at Peoria, March 5, 1013.]
Many of us fail to realize the possi-
bilities of increasing our business, and of
making it more profitable, by adding
landscape gardening to our regular lines.
It seems strange that this is so, because,
if one stops to think, the customers for
our bedding plants and perennials are
the very people who need such work, and
we shall not have the difiiculty met with
in taking up most new lines; that is, the
getting of new customers and building
up an entirely new business. Our cus-
tomers are ready to hand. Their names
are on our books as buyers of plants and
all there is to be done is to equip our-
selves to supply their wants properly, and
to let them know we are so equipped. Of
course the downtown store man in the
large cities, and the strictly wholesale
grower, will probably not find it advisa-
able to take up this work, but those flo
rists who both grow and retail their prod-
uct, and who are located in the smaller
cities and towns, or in the residence dis-
tricts, will find much and profitable de-
mand for good service of this kind.
The Desire for Change.
There is a great and growing desire
among the middle class of home owners,
for better and more beautiful outdoor
surroundings. They are being taught by
precept and example that the round bed
of geraniums or cannas planted in the
middle of the lawn is often a very un-
lovely thing, that it dwarfs the place and
gives no lasting satisfaction. They feel
that there are better and more artistic
ways of decorating their grounds. They
are tired of the everlasting sameness of
the red patch of S. A. Nutt with a border
of Salleroi, which is repeated and re-
peated on each side of each of our resi-
dence streets. If we are to keep the?e
customers and to sell them more, instead
of less of our goods, we must arrange to
give them something better — something
more artistic and more interesting —
something which they and their neighbors
and the passers-by will delight in look-
ing at again and again.
Who ever, nowadays, stops on the street
and looks at any of these prim, common-
place flowerbeds we are planting by the
thousand everv spring — and whv shouM
they?
Flowering plants need a background of
green. This means that they must gen-
erally be planted in front of taller grow-
ing specimens. Of course we can use the
taller perennials at times for this pur-
pose, but why do it when there are a
wealth of shrubs to hand which are so
much better in every way? Shrubs are
never unsightly, even in winter, while
many of those with ornamental bark or
colored berries are beautiful all the deso-
late winter days and carry us through to
the time of green leaves and flowers
again. The shrub puts forth its leaves
quickly in the spring and arrives at its
full beauty in a few days, while we must
wait, often, half the summer for our full
growth from the other types of tall grow-
ing flowers.
Some Simple Rules.
We thus get to
Eule No. 1. — Plant shrubs for a back-
ground and plant your flowers in front
of them. It has been an axiom almost
from the first real study which was ever
given the subject, which we may state
here as
Eule No. 2. — Plant around the boun-
24
The Florists' Review
Maech 6, 1913.
daries and keep the center of the lawn
open. If the lawn is large, a small speci-
men tree or shrub or two may be planted,
but they must be nearer to one side —
never in the center.
The line where the foundation of the
house meets the lawn is ugly, so we get
Eule No. 3. — Plant shrubs around the
foundation of the house and especially
around the porch, both to conceal the
ugly space underneath and also to afford
a feeling of protection.
Rule No. 4. — Frequently conditions in
th^i,, t>«ckyard are wjsightly; therefore
plant a sdreiSn of tall shrubs across from
the back of the house to the boundary
fence to conceal such things. Of course
this screen is to be as far back from the
street as possible.
Rule No. 5. — Do not plant in straight
lines. Use shrubs of varying sizes and
heights and plant so the line is irregular.
Rule No. 6. — Mass your shrubs. That
is, do not dot them around, but plant all
of one kind together.
Rule No. 7. — Do not plant clipped for-
mal hedges for our climate. It is very
difficult to make them do well here. If,
after years of work, a plant dies out, the
whole thing is ruined and they take an
immense amount of care to keep them in
proper condition. Finally, even when in
perfect condition they are formal and
ugly and a good honest wire fence, cov-
ered with Virginia creeper and other
vines, has the advantage from every point
of view.
The Places For Flowers.
AVe now have the backbone of our work
•done and the places for planting flowers
Will suggest themselves. The big, the
Bhowy, and the brilliant colored things, we
will get well to the back. The cannas
and hollyhocks will make a gorgeous show
ipl&nted in front of the screen at the rear.
The little bays in our undulating border
will be .iust "the place for geraniums or
other plants in long irregular beds.
Clumps of the earlier hardy bulbs, as
squills, snowdrops and the like, may be
planted under the edges of the overhang-
ing shrubbery, to remain permanently.
The smaller and more delicate flowers,
which must be seen at close range, will
naturally be planted near the front.
Sweet scented blossoming plants should
be near the windows and the porch.
Great care must be taken not to plant
discordant or clashing colors together,
and a red or brightly colored house re-
quires discrimination in selecting the col-
ors to be planted closely to it.
Time permits here only the crudest and
briefest hints, but there are numberless
books and magazines dealing with the
subject very fully — to be sure, there is
an immense lot of rubbishy nonsense be-
ing published also. Many publishers ap-
pear to think that a flashy literary style
is all-important and real knowledge of
the subject an entirely secondary matter.
If space available permits, some well
grown shrubs, or small trees on the flo-
rist's grounds will not only be orna-
mental, but will make excellent selling
samples. Unless conditions are unusual
it will probably not be advisable to at-
tempt to propagate or grow on, shrub
stock, as it can be bought very cheaply
as wanted from the nurseries.
In cenclusion, let me earnestly urge
every florist in the class mentioned to
look into this matter and try it. I am
sure that the profit and the pleasure de-
rived will both be great.
FLORICULTUBE AT URBANA.
[A synopsis of a paper by H. B. Dorner, read
at the convention of tlie Illinois State Florists'
Association at Peoria, March 6, 1913, descriptive
of the florlcultural worlt at the University of
Illinois.]
During the last year G. L. Peltier suc-
ceeded H. W. Anderson as pathologist,
and r. W. Muncie was appointed physio-
logical chemist. The staff now numbers
, flye. The equipment was variously added
to.
At a meeting of the advisory board,
heW yU; spring, it was decided to con-
tinue, tfcr another year, the Experiments
on commercial fertilizers with roses and
carnations and on the stem-rot of carna-
tions. The experiments on the growing
of roses with chemical fertilizers and the
testing of own-root and grafted stock
are a continuation of the work of the last
two years. The results, up to date, bid
fair to verify the conclusions of last
year. Without doubt, the results of these
experiments will be of great value to all
florists growing roses.
The experiments on carnations are a
continuation of the comparison of com-
mercial and natural manures and on over-
feeding with nitrogen, potassium and
phosphorous. This work also promises
very gratifying results.
The results on the experiments on com-
mercial fertilizers with carnations, which
were completed last year, are now await-
ing the verification of this year 's work
so that they may be published in full.
The first year's work on stem-rot was
a study of the life history of the fungus
that causes the disease. The work of this
year has been a further study of the ac-
tion of the organism and preliminary
experiments on its control.
While the work of the coming year has
not, as yet, been decided upon by your
committee, the following lines will be pre-
sented for their approval :
It is proposed that the work with roses
be continued along the lines of soil fer-
tility, on both own-root and grafted
plants.
The work on carnations, as planned,
contemplates further work on the effects
of overfeeding and measures to overcome
it, on the study of the limiting element
in feeding and on the chemical constitu-
ents of the plant and their relation to
feeding.
The study of stem-rot of carnations is
to be continued and methods for its pre-
vention and control will be worked out.
An entire house will be devoted to path-
ological work.
It is also proposed to carry on some
work with chrysanthemums along the line
of feeding to determine the kinds and
amounts of fertilizer required and when
they should be applied.
A study of the effects of overwatering
and overfeeding of various pot plants is
also proposed. A study of this kind will
assist the florist in diagnosing such cases
without difficulty.
Two circulars have been issued. A 22-
page circular on the experiments on car-
nations and roses and a 16-page circular
on the instructional work were printed in
time for distribution at the Chicago meet-
ing of the S. A. F. More complete cir-
culars will be issued as soon as this year 's
work is completed and the results can be
compiled and verified.
Many requests have been received from
florists and amateurs concerning plant
troubles. These have all been given close
attention and the growers have received
all the help possible. The results of this
work have been gratifying. The reports
show that in many cases the help given
has been the cause of the saving of thou-
sands of dollars. It is hoped that more
florists will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity and allow your workers at the sta-
tion to be of service to them. All queries
and material sent to the Division of Flori-
culture will receive prompt attention.
Eight students are now registered for
the four-year course in floriculture. The
completion of the new houses will add
greatly to the facilities of the division
and make it possible to give the students
considerable work along practical lines.
As stated in a previous report, the re-
vision of the campus necessitates jibe re-
moval of the greenhouses to a new loca-
tion on the east side of the campus. The
new houses that were provided for in the
appropriations of two years ago are being
built upon the new site and are nearing
completion. The plans are to move the
old range this coming summer.
The new range consists of two houses,
35x105 and a curvilinear palm house 40
x80 feet. These, with the addition of
another house 35x105 feet, to be built this
summer, and the old houses to be moved,
cover an area of 27,700 square feet. The
new houses are all of iron frame con-
struction. The contract has also been let
for a new service building, 35x95 feet,
two stories high. In this will be located
the work rooms, storage rooms, labora-
tories, class room and offices.
EXPERIMENTS ON STEM-ROT.
[Extracts from a paper by G. L. Peltier, of
the University of Illinois, read before the Illi-
nois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March
C, 1913.]
Following the plan of last year, most
of our attention has been confined to
one disease, namely, wet stem-rot of
carnation. A number of strains of
Rhizoctonia from various hosts, potato,
clover, corn, bean, carrots, thistle and
other vegetables, were obtained from
various sources. The object is to de-
termine Whether the strain of Rhizoc-
tonia from the carnation host alone, or
those from all other hosts, can produce
stem-rot of the carnation. If the first
statement proves to be the case, then
the matter of controlling stem-rot will
be simple, for it will be merely a ques-
tion of eliminating the diseased plants.
On the other hand,^ if other strains of
Rhizoctonia are able to attack the car-
nation it will be a difficult problem to
work out a means of control, for one
will never know when the plants w^ll
be attacked in the field. Further, the
soil brought into the greenhouse, if
taken from a field on which the hosts
named above have been grown, might
be infected with Rhizoctonia. This
question is of fundamental importance.
Some Conclusions Reached.
From observations in the carnation
field last summer the following con-
clusions, some of them no doubt being
well known, but which can probably
bear repeating, may be made:
(1) When plants are put out in the
field in the spring they are liable to be
set too deep, which perhaps may bring
about some morphological difference in
the stem just at the surface of the
ground, causing the plant to become
more susceptible to stem-rot. Great care
should be exercised in planting the
plants just the required depth. This
should be done again when the plants
are taken into the house in the fall.
(2) From data collected from diseased
plants in the field, a plant with a single
stem which breaks one to two inches
above the surface of the soil is much

MABCH 6, 1913.
The Florists' Review
I less liable to stem-rot than a plant
! breaking just at, or slightly below, the
ground. The reason is obvious. The
branches of a plant forking at the sur-
face of the ground are easily broken off
in different ways. They generally break
at the base, so there is exposed a wound,
through which fungi can easily enter.
The wound is later covered with soil,
and so it is an easy matter for the
fungus Rhizoctonia to enter the exposed
tissue and produce stem-rot. A large
number of plants examined show that
in the majority of cases the fungus
gains entrance through a wound of this
kind.
(3) Cultivating too deep and throw-
ing the soil up around the plants also
produces a condition more favorable to
Rhizoctonia. Great care should be exer-
cised not to injure any of the plants
with the cultivator.
(4) If stem-rot is present in a carna-
tion field all dead or wilted plants
should be pulled up as soon as noticed
and the soil surrounding the plant should
be soaked with a fungicide, preferably
formalin. It can be applied in the dilu-
tion of 1:200. Formalin is desirable in
this work, as it will kill the mycelium
of the fungus Rhizoctonia in the
ground, it is inexpensive, the fumes
escape from the soil quickly and it does
not injure the soil in any way.
Sterilizing Soil.
Concerning the work in the green-
house, only general statements can be
made at this time. A number of agents
for sterilizing the soil were tried, in-
cluding steam, and a number of fungi-
cides. The experiments were conducted
in the following manner: The soil was
first infected with soil cultures of the
fungus Rhizoctonia grown, in the labora-
tory, and then half of it was sterilized,
the other half being left as a check. In
the steam sterilized bench no plants
have died, while in the bench infected
with Rhizoctonia and not sterilized the
loss due to stem-rot is sixty per cent.
The fungicides, Bordeaux mixture, cop-
per sulphate and sulphuric acid, all gave
poor results. Formalin applied at the
rate of 1:200 and the soil allowed to dry
for a week has given excellent results,
none of the plants being diseased up to
this date. The application of limestone
also appears to retard the growth of
Rhizoctonia. Next year we will confine
all our efforts to steam sterilized soil,
the formalin treatment, and the appli-
cation of limestone.
Steam sterilized soil appears to have
one serious disadvantage, mainly that
the growth of plants is slightly retarded
tor the first two or three weeks. There
seems to be no satisfactory explanation
tor this phenomenon.

"WHO'S WHO-AND WHY"
HUGH WILL.
WHAT will Hjighl Hugh will see to it that every one who attends the
S. A. F. conlvention next August has just the best tifne ever. For Hugh
Will, smiling Hugh, with the twinkles in the wrinkles 'round his eyes, is chair-
man of the big, buly committee that has charge of the entertainment features, and
already is hard at work. Mr. Will also is a member of the finance committee, the
committee on transportation and, as you might guess from the twinkle, of the
committee on convention sports. There isn't anything he isn't in. He is president
of the Minnesota State Florists' Association and of practically all the trade
societies. In business he is one of the three brothers who own the largest range
of glass in the Twin Cities, operating it under the corporate name of Will Bros.

through the nortlifwest.
signs of disease, as well as all unhealthy
or damaged plants, was examined. As
a result only a few plants have been
lost on account of this disease. This
matter of selecting plants is, therefore,
an important factor in the control of
this disease.
If occasionally a plant is killed by
Rhizoctonia in the greenhouse it should
be pulled up immediately and the soil
drenched with a solution of formalin.
A fresh plant should not be put in
until the soil is dry and it should re-
ceive careful treatment. Four plantd
replaced in the sRme place have been
seen to die, in eadh case for the simple
reason that they received the same
treatment as the surrounding plants,
which were strong and healthy and had
been growing for some time, and that
the fungus was stjll present in the soil.
The problem of the control of the wet
stem-rot is far froin being complete, but
experiments give some encouragement
so that in the near future a method of
control will probably be found for this
serious disease.
Dry Stem-Bot.
Another disease which causes more or
less loss to growers of carnations is the
so-called dry stem-rot, which I suggest
be called branch wilt, to distinguish it
more sharply from the wet stem-rot, due
to Rhizoctonia. This branch wilt is due
to a species of the fungus Fusarium.
This fungus has never been seen to
attack a healthy growing carnation
plant. It gains entrance to the tissue
of the part in each case through wounds
and cuts on the plant. The spores, which
are everywhere in the soil and air of the
house are able to germinate in a drop of
water, so that if the plants are wet and
a flower is cut the spore will germinate

on this cut surface and work its way
into the branches. When . the young
shoots arise they grow until the fungus
reaches the base of the shoot and in a
short time the shoot will wilt suddenly
and die. The fungus is rarely able to
kill the whole plant. By looking over a
carnation house infected with branch
wilt the dead branches are conspicuous
and characteristic of this disease.
The only control that can be suggested
at this time is absolute cleanliness of
the house. As this fungus is able to
grow on dead leaves of the plants as
well as on and under the benches, such
conditions should not be tolerated. Over-
head watering should be discontinued as
much as possible, especially in cloudy
weather.
Yellows.
Yellows, as I shall call this disease
for the present, to distinguish it from
bacteriosis and stigmonose, is widely dis-
tributed throughout the state, and from
reports seems to be increasing rapidly.
The trouble starts in the young leaves
and is first noticed as small pale green
areas varying in size and shape. On
holding an infected leaf up to the light
the dots appear translucent. These spots
become more distinct and turn yellow,
while the tissue beneath collapses. The
trouble is confined not only to the
leaves, but in badly infected plants the
branches and flower stems may be cov-
ered with the yellow elongated spots.
Several distinct forms of yellows can
be recognized, which differ in general
appearance and subsequent behavior.
The early stages of the first type consist
of small translucent dots, scattered ir-
regularly through the leaf. At first
they are a paler green than the sur-
rounding tissue, but distinctly delineated
from it. The spots increase more or
less rapidly until they reach a diameter
of one to eight millimeters. Most of
these spots are approximately circular,
but may be irregular in outline, rarely
elongated. Few of the spots coalesce
in this form. This type is especially
noticeable on White Enchantress. A
single leaf may have from one or two
to fifty or more spots, depending on the
extent of infection. Another charac-
teristic of this first type is that the
spots do not tend to make the leaves
brittle.
The development of the second form
is similar to the one above, except that
while still in the early stages the spots
coalesce and become much elongated, so
that a single spot may be one to two
inches or more in length. On badly in-
fected leaves these elongated areas run
parallel to the midrib and have a sort
of flaky appearance. The leaves become
brittle and are easily snapped off. In
the later stage the tissue beneath the
areas collapses, the spot becomes sunken
and finally turns brown as the leaf
dies. This type of yellows is found in
the Beacon and Pink Enchantress and
is, as a rule, much more destructive than
the first type.
A third form may be mentioned here,
which is found only on the red-flowered
varieties, as Beacon. Here the areas in
the late stages take on a purplish color,
and are slightly raised. It is not known
whether this form is the same as the
others or not. The red-flowered varie-
ties are also susceptible to the second
type, beside this third form.
No explanation as to the cause of this
disease can be given at present. How-
ever, preliminary experiments have
shown that the disease is not transmis-
sable from one plant to another, but
that it is carried from season to season
by means of infected cuttings. Until
the cause has been determined the sug-
gestion is made that no cuttings from
plants that show yellows be taken; and
if any plants show these spots at any
time from the cutting bench stage to
the time they are brought into the house
in the fall, they should be discarded.
In this way the disease to a large ex-
tent will be eliminated.
COOL HOUSE FOR HOT CLIMATE.
E. E. Stone, nurseryman, Dickinson,
Tex., is the owner of the unique green-
house siiown in the accompanying illus-
trations. It is like other greenhouses in
so far as the frame goes, but it is dif-
ferent from the rest in that it is exactly
the opposite of the usual "warm house
for cool locations — it is a cool house for
a hot climate. The house is 30 x 100,
of the well known Foley pipe frame con-
struction, with no benches but four lines
of purlin supports. The common com-
plaint in Mr. Stone's location, which is
in Galveston county, close to the Gulf
coast, is that the ordinary form of
greenhouse gets too hot in summer. Af-
ter thinking the matter out, Mr. Stone
had the Foley Mfg. Co. build a
special roof on the regular, standard
frame. Shade was what Mr. Stone
wanted. This is how he got it: At the
end of the house were three sashbars
to carry glass in the ordinary way;
then a bar was omitted and a frame
set in two panes wide, not glazed, but
filled with roofing felt; then three more
runs of glass; then a frame of felt,
and so on to the other end of the house.
The side walls have glass below the
glazed bars and hinged vents filled with
felt below the felted frames. The
frames are fastened to the eave plate
and to the ventilator header, the ven-
tilator also being filled with felt. Mr.
Stone says he has had a number of in-
quiries from other southerners who are
watching his experiment and that its
success will mean the erection of a num-
ber of similar houses in the Gulf sec-
tion.
The trees shown in the picture are
camphor trees, a small-leaved evergreen,
fast growing and capable of withstand-
ing 10 to 12 degrees of frost, that Mr.
Stone considers ideal for the coast
country.
FESTILIZESS FOB CABNATIONS.
[A summary of a paper by F. W. Muncie, of
the University of Illinois, read before the Illi-
nois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March
U, 1913.]
The experimental work during 1912-13
includes a combination of the experiments
carried on during the previous year and
described in our pamphlet published in
July, 1912, in regard to the relative effi-
ciency of commercial fertilizers and nat-
ural manures for growing carnations.
The data from October 1 to December 17,
1912, bear out the conclusions drawn from
the results of last year, that the number
and quality of flowers produced by either
method are practically the same.
It seems well here to repeat the amount
of fertilizers used and to describe the
method of application. When the soil is
put into the benches in the latter part of
July, two pounds of, dried blood, two
pounds of acid phosphate and two pounds
of potassium sulphate are mixed with the
soil for each 100 square feet of bench
space and thoroughly worked in with
trowels; and, after a thorough watering,
the soil is allowed to stand over night be-
fore setting the plants. At three other
times during the year, at about Novem-
ber 1, January 1 and February 15, addi-
tional applications of two pounds of dried
blood worked into the top inch of soil

■with weeders are made, making a total
application per 100 square feet of bench
space of: Dried blood, eight pounds;
acid phosphate, two pounds; potassium
sulphate, two pounds.
Splitting and Stem Strength.
The results indicate no danger of caus-
ing splitting by treatment with commer-
cial fertilizers. In the variety White -
Enchantress, 97.1 per cent of the flowers
in each case were those with perfect
calyces; in the variety White Perfection
87 per cent of the flowers had perfect
calyces when grown with natural manures
and 94.7 per cent when grown with com-
mercial fertilizers. We may safely con-
clude from these data that the use of
commercial fertilizers will not lead to an
aLiiornial percentage of splits.
In order to determine the effects of
commercial fertilizers upon the strength
of stems, flowers were gauged as first,
second or third, according to their stem
strength, first indicating the normal con-
dition and third an excessive weakness.
With White Enchantress, treatment with
natural manures produced flowers, 78 per
cent of which were classed as first; with
commercial fertilizers, 76.8 per cent,
while in the variety White Perfection the
percentages are 89.7 per cent and 98 per
cent respectively. Clearly then, the use
of commercial fertilizers will not lead to
weakness in stems.
Keeping Quality of Flowers.
Eecords were kept in 1909-*0 and 1911-
1^, as well as during the present year,
to determine whether raising flowers with
commercial fertilizers injures their keep-
ing quality. Records were taken upon
some hundreds of them, in a room at
aoout oO degrees, the water being changed

for each 100 square feet of bench space.
Thus the total number of fertilizer appli-
cations made was sixteen; on the other
hand, after the beginning of the season,
only three applications of a fertilizer
(dried blood) were made. The latter
treatment no doubt would result in a con-
siderable saving of time and labor.
Overfeeding.
As favorable as the results indicate
commercial fertilizers to be for the pro-
duction of a satisfactory number of
flowers of good quality, too- much em-
phasis cannot be laid upon the care
with which they must be used, and the
danger of overfeeding in case they are
applied in uncertain quantities or too
often. The experiment station feels
that it ought not to recommend the use
of these materials unless the grower
uses a balance for weighing out the fer-
tilizers according to the amounts indi-
cated above, and unless they are not
applied oftener than indicated. The
danger from overfeeding is peculiar in
that it does not manifest itself imme-
diately in case the excessive applica-
tions are made in the fall of the year;
and because no warning is given in the
color or shape of the foliage in ad-
vance of the deterioration of the
flowers.
These points are well illustrated by
the following experiment carried out
during the present year. Four sec-
tions containing forty plants each were
used for this experiment, the first to
receive a weekly application of one
pound of dried blood, the second and
third to receive one pound of acid phos-
phate and potassium sulphate, respec-
tively; while the fourth received the
"normal" treatment as outlined in the
previous experiment. No signs of over-
feeding were noticeable in any of the
sections up until about the first part of
January. The plants looked healthy
and the flowers were normal. During
that period the production was as fol-
lows: Excess dried blood, 264; excess
acid phosphate, 256; excess potassium
sulphate, 238; normal, 219.
These figures would lead to the con-
clusion that the weekly application of
dried blood was superior to the treat-
ment called normal, for forty-five addi-
tional flowers, more than one per plant,
were produced during this time. Of
these 89.7 per cent, or 237, had perfect
calyces, while under the "normal"
treatment only 84 per cent had perfect
calyces. The size of flower and length
of stem were about the same. Soon
after the turn of the year, however,
signs of overfeeding became noticeable.
The petals became crinkled in appear-
ance, and were easily browned if wa-
tered overhead. In a fortnight the
flowers in the sections thus heavily fed
became affected to such a degree that
hardly a salable flower could be found.
The first sign was on the petals and
when this sign was shown the flowers
were ruined.
The injury, for an application of
equal weights of dried blood, acid phos-
phate and potassium sulphate, was
greatest on the plants which received
the extra applications of potassium sul-
phate, and on these sections at present
growth has practically stopped and the
flowers are ruined.
It is possible that the reason underly-
ing this behavior of the plants is that
in the fall of the year the sunlight is
the limiting factor of plant growth.
Then whatever excess of plant food is
applied lies unused by the plant in the
soil. When the days become longer and
the sunlight more intense, after the new
year, this material is absorbed by the
plant with very harmful results. No
injury has been noticed as yet upon
the plants fed large amounts of acid
phosphate, possibly due to the fact that
acid phosphate is only half soluble,
possibly to the nature of the chemical.
The following table listing the con-
tent of various fertilizing materials
illustrates the great strength of com-
mercial fertilizers compared even with
a powerful natural manure such as
sheep manure.

From the foregoing experiment and
from these data, emphasis once more
should be placed upon the necessity of
using chemicals accurately weighed and
applied not oftener than four times per
year, if the weights recommended are
used. Experiments have demonstrated
that on the soil at Urbana, an applica-

tion of twice these amounts has not
produced harmful results. On another
soil, ill effects might have followed such
an application, while upon some kinds
of soil more might safely be applied.
The exact amount for each florist to
use is a matter to be settled by careful
trial upon a small number of plants,
using the amounts given above as a
working basis.
Semedies for Overfed Plants.
Various remedies have been sug-
gested for relieving the plants injured
by an excess of fertilizer, among them,
addition of the other elements on the
theory that a balanced excessive appli-
cation is not so harmful as one in
which one element is present in excess;
also the planting of oats or some other
quick growing crop in the benches to
relieve the plants of excess of food.
These remedies are being tried at the
experiment station and a report upon
their value can be made after this sea-
son. It is to be hoped that by follow-
ing the above suggestions the florists
will avoid the need of any remedy.
Boses.
The cultivation of roses with chemical
fertilizers has been continued during this
year. ^ visit to our greenhouse will
demonstrate that good roses can be growm
by this treatment. An extended study of
the data cannot be given in this paper,
but the station uipesitatingly recom-
mends the use of sixteen pounds of dried
blood, four pounds of acid phosphate and
four pounds of potassium sulphate as a
basis if they are applied as directed in
our pamphlet.
JUST A FEW KNOCKS.
[Extracts from a paper by Elmer Weaver, of
Blrd-ln-band, Pa., read before tbe Lancaster Flo-
rists' Clab.]
The constant adding and discarding
of new varieties of carnations is ex-
pensive for the small grower, but if
you do not do it you will soon, very
soon, be comparing the market reports
in your trade journal with the returns
from your commission firm with the re-
sult that you will decide that the re-
porter for the trade journal should be
in Teddy's Ananias Club or the com-
mission merchant in jail, while the
cause usually is to be attributed to
your own lack of business acumon in
not keeping up with the times.
Some years ago Mrs. Lawson was
given a trial in a small way and in a
careless manner, with the result that
we discarded it the first season as no
good, and you all now know we lost
good money by our hasty action. Later
on when everybody was doing it well
we bought stock again, but we lost
several seasons when the flowers were
bringing big money.
A Boost for Oloriosa.
A present day parallel is Gloriosa,
about the grandest variety we have had
up to the present time. I have made
many inquiries regarding this variety
and have never realized before how
many people are affected by various de-
grees of indecision. Several are propa-
gating and buying all they can get of
it. Others say frankly they are going
to discard it, while others are up in
the air and don't know yet what they
want to do. The chief objections to
this variety are its lack of desire to
reproduce itself by a cutting and its
lack of growth in the field. These
faults should not deter us from exper-
imenting until we overcome them.
The tendency to run to a flowering
shoot in a short space of time can be
partly overcome by topping part of the
shoots back when bringing them in
from the field.
Benora looks like an ideal varie-
gated. It is an exceedingly free
bloomer, with a stem of sufficient
length and strong enough to hold the
flower erect. The color is good, al-
though showing a slight yellow cast.
The growth is healthy and vigorous
and the cuttings root about as easily as
Beacon, which means you may get them
rooted if you are careful, very careful,
not to allow any chance for them to
get too wet, too dry, too hot, or too
cold, don't let any wind blow over
them, and a few other don'ts. In
transplanting from the field, the plants
take hold easily and in a few weeks
blooming shoots are forming in abun-
dance. On the whole it is a variety
worthy of trial, although the color pre-
cludes growing it universally in large
quantities.
Delhi is an improved Victory and, as
I personally never eould muster much
enthusiasm over Victory, I do not know
whether or not I think much of Delhi.
With us it has somewhat the habit of
a sweet potato vine, the stems show-
ing a tendency to grow horizontal in-
stead of vertical. Even though it has
such undesirable habits, it certainly
makes enough flowers; it will make as
many during the season as anything
in sight. I have seen it growing in
Chester county this season and can say
it was a fine sight, away ahead of Bea-
con in the same house. It has as good
a stem, better color, is a freer bloomer
and not the cropper Beacon is, although
the flower looks as though a trip to the
laundry would improve it greatly, as
Victory looks like a wilted collar, and
Delhi the same.
Comfort and Bosette.
Comfort has had the advantage of
two years' trial on our place and when
you visit us next season you will find
10,000 plants. I know a number of
you are afraid of Comfort because it
looks sleepy under certain conditions.
The grower who thinks Comfort is
sleepy and discriminates against it on
that score is nearer asleep than the
carnation. He had better take a nap
and, when he wakes up and feels fit,
try Comfort. It will produce more
money per square foot of bench surface
than any red we now have.
Rosette is the fourth variety of last
season's novelties with which we are
experimenting and from the ultimate
dollar and cents point of view I feel
sure the best, first, from what it is
showing itself to be and, second, be-
cause it is one of Dorner's seedlings,
all of which have made good here ex-
cepting Scarlet Glow. It differs from
their other recent introductions in that
its growth is heavier, and that it makes
plenty of good cuttings that root
easily. When lifted and planted in-
doors it was ready for business long
before Mrs. Ward, White Perfection
and some others decided whether they
wanted to move or not. The stem is
stiff, of good length, the flower larger
than either Qloriosa or Pink Delight,
deeply serrated, center well filled and
of unusual depth. In color it is per-
fectly clear and nearly a Lawson shade,
having none of the streaks or faded
edges sometimes found on Mrs. Ward.
My commission man pronounces it a
desirable shade and an excellent
keeper.

opinion as to what is the trouble. The
plants are not looking right and some
of them have died. We think that
perhaps the soil here will not grow
carnations, though a gentleman who was
testing soil for the government said
we could "grow anything in it." How-
ever, potatoes seem to be the only sure
crop. We used good rotted cow manure.
A. E. N.
There does not seem to be anything
seriously wrong with your soil. The
specimen plant submitted was un-
. doubtedly a poor plant at planting
time. All the original foliage carried
by the plant at the time it was benched
was dead, which would indicate that
the plants did not take hold of the soil
readily. This, however, would not nec-
essarily be the fault of the soil.
The specimen is pretty well covered
with red spider, which would help to
stunt its growth. I would suggest that
you syringe these plants every bright
day with all the water pressure at your
command, until you get rid of the
spider. Then give the beds a liberal
mulch of half rotted cow manure or of
stable manure which is just old enough
to have lost its heating properties. You
should still be able to get a good spring
crop of blooms. A. F. J. B.
SHORT-STEMMED ENCHANTRESS.
My carnations are blooming with
short stems. The stems are but six to
eight inches long, but carry fine blooms.
I have Enchantress, Eose-pink Enchant-
ress and White Enchantress. They
were housed in September and have had
one feeding of sheep manure and bone.
The plants are healthy, but I am unable
to get the stems to lengthen out. My
location is northern Ohio. Will you
kindly inform me what I can do to
lengthen the stems? W. E. P.
If you were growing the Lawson
tribe instead of the Enchantress, I
should not be surprised at the shortness
of the stems, but even with your late
planting this variety should be making
stems at least eighteen inches in length.
If the plants look healthy and the
blooms develop properly, there is some-
tning wrong which your letter does not
msclose. Perhaps your plants are af-
lected with a trouble which I saw
a bench of Enchantress on a friend
place two years ago, but which I wi
unable to diagnose. The whole pi
seemed to become stunted after it L_„
taken hold nicely in the fall. The stems
retused to lengthen and the foliage
tooK on a light, unnatural color. There
seemed to be nothing wrong with the

lant
had
— ' r
xsoil Or with the<tolture, and the grower
got rid of the trouble by selecting his
cuttlpgs from the healthy plants. If
this is the nature of your trouble, you
can likely get rid of it in the same*
manner. If all your plants are af-
fected in this way, however, I would
advise you to buy new stock from some
reliable grower. A. F. J. B.
STIGMONOSE.
All of my carnation plants show
more or less of the disease called stig-
monose and I am coming to you JEor
advice. Is there any cure for itT~'I
dread to think of replacing the wliole
stock, as I have about 20,000 plants in
all and it would cost more than I
could stand to buy that many >ib«w
plants. The disease was brought in two
years ago with some plants I bought
from another greenhouse. If I am care-
ful in selecting the cuttings and then
just as careful in looking after'them,
will there be any chance of the plants
outgfTowing the disease ? A, G. C.
You can gradually work the stig-
monose out of your carnation stock by
selecting your cuttings. Select cut-
tings which do not show any of these
light spots. When the cuttings are
rooted, select again, as the disease will
frequently show at that time, even
though the young shoots appeared
quite clean when the cuttings were
taken. If any of it shows after the
plants have become established in the
pots, cull them out again. By constant
selection you can, after a few seasons,
have your stock entirely clean. How
many seasons it will take, will depend
entirely on how critically you do . the
selecting. A. F. J. B.
LAWSON OF YORK.
Jos. W. Lawson started in business
at York, Neb., a little over two years
ago, making bis beginning with one
house 25x100. During the last season
he added two other houses, one 27x100
and the other 12x90, giving his ee^ab-
lishment the appearance shown in the
smaller of the two accompanying illus-
trations. Hot water is used for heat-
ing, the apparatus having been installed
by Mr. Lawson himself. The boiler
house contains two No. 27 Mercer water
heaters. Jhe piping is all 2V^-inch pipe
and he says his home-made system gives
him perfect satisfaction. His main crop
is carnations, and at the recent ex-
hibition at Lincoln, under the auspices
of the Nebraska State Florists' Asso-
ciation, he took first premiums on white
and on light pink. He grows roses in
small quantities, also sweet peas, mums,
violets, smilax and potted plants. One
bench is given to lettuce, which proves
a profitable crop. Business has been
excellent this season. He had a splen-
did Christmas trade, amounting to sev-
eral times as^,much as a year ago, and
there has been a good, steady demand
for wedding, funeral and society flowers
all through the season. He is looking
forward to needing still more glass.
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The illustration on page 28 will
show that carnations can be grown in
North Carolina just as successfully as
in other climates. This house is 20x80,
though the picture shows only half of
it. It is one of three houses planted to
carnations by Fred EoU, Durham, N.
C, a town a good many smokers have
heard of. Mr. EoU has something over
2,500 carnation plaHts and has cut good
stock steadily. He complains that this
has been the warmest winter in fifteen
years, with hyacinths blooming out-
doors at the end of January. He thinks
a colder climate vastly more favorable
for florists.

SWEET PEAS UNDER GLASS.
Plants which are flowering should have
a night temperature as near 50 degrees
as possible; better have it 48 degrees
rather than 52 degrees. The* day tem-
perature, when dark and overcast, may
advance 8 degrees, and on sunny days 15
degrees, with an abundance of fresh air.
Do not allow the houses to become warm
and then proceed to rush on a lot of air,
nor allow them to get chilly and shut
down tight in the same way. Open the
ventilators gradually, and close gradually.
The surest way to bring on mildew is by
careless ventilation.
Plants which now have short stems
should be pulled out and their places
taken by some other crop. From this time
on there will be so many long-stemmed
flowers on the market that the grower
with short-stemmed stock, unless he can
utilize it in funeral work, will have con-
siderable trouble in disposing of it.
Houses which are now coming into crop
should give splendid stems, provided the
plants are allowed four to six inches apart
in the rows and the rows are not too
close together. Four to six feet are usual
distances, six feet being better where
space will permit of it.
Plants in flower, in fact all sweet peas,
must be gone over regularly and given
proper support. Soft, white twine run
lengthwise of the rows, caught here and
there to the upright strings supporting
the plants, makes thi best and neatest
support. These supports must be given
promptly, for once the stems get bent or
twisted, the flower stems from such are
unsalable. Then the question of judicious
feeding is a most important one. I get
constant inquiries from growers asking
why their peas come short-stemmed. One
cause is too thick sowing; the other, in-
sufficient plant food. Sweet peas must
have a deep, rich soil if they are to bloom
for a long period and produce strong
stems, and they must also have liquid
manure or topdressings of pulverized
sheep manure, fine bone or cow manure.
All these are good, and, after applying
them, lightly stir the surface soil prior to
watering. It is better not to use chem-
ical stimulants; these may create a strong
growth and give long stems, but it is
usually found they make growths and
flowers soft and that plants soon deterio-
rate after such stimulants are applied.
In the matter of fumigation also ex-
treme care is necessary. It is easy to
scorch the foliage and then blame the
damage on some other imaginary cause.
When fumigation has to be done, let it
be in light doses and do not keep the ven-
tilators closed all night, particularly on
warm nights. Where plants are near the
heating pipes, there is always danger of
red spider getting a foothold. Force of
water through a spray nozzle is the best
preventive.
For some years we were limited in our
raiij^e of colors in sweet peas for forcing,
but now practically all shades are avail-
able, and as the Spencer types have prac-
tically driven the grandiflora varieties
from the field for outdoor culture, the ad-
vent of a large number of new Spencer
winter bloomers, with habits and charac-
teristics otherwise resembling such sorts
as Mont Blanc and Christmas Pink,
makes it probable that in four or five
years nothing but Spencer varieties will
be seen under glass, for certainly where
Spencer flowers are obtainable it is hard
work to sell the grandifloras.
SWEET PEA LEAVES DYING.
Can you tell me what is the matter
with the enclosed sweet pea leaves? The
old leaves become diseased and drop
oflF. What is the cause and the cure, if
any? The plants are otherwise healthy
and giving good bloom, but the stems
are short on the laterals. J. M.
Without knowing anything of the cul-
tural conditions, etc., it is not easy to
give the reason for sweet pea foliage
dying. If the plants are standing too-
closely in the rows, stem-rot may de-
velop. Again, if you have hilled them
up or given an additional covering of
soil, as is often advised for outdoor
sweet peas, you are sure to have the
same trouble. If the same soil has been
previously used for sweet peas, without
any change of crops, you may expect
diseased plants. Even partial drynesa
at the root will cause leaves to die off.
Sometimes, also, the seeds are saved
from plants which, if not actually dis-
eased, have but little vitality, and their
offspriftg or some portion of them will
come diseAWd.
If your plants are in raised benches,,
you will not get as long and strong
stems as in solid beds. The former dry
out too quickly, and sweet pea& like to-
have their roots cool and moist. Pre-
suming that you had well enriched soil
for them, they would be much benefited
now by a top-dressing of sheep manure
or old cow manure, while liquid manure
once a fortnight would materially im-
prove them. A temperature of 48 to 50
degrees at night, 56 to 58 degrees on
dull days and 62 'to 65 degrees as a'
maximum on clear days, should be main-
tained. C. W.
ROOT-KNOT ON POT PLANTS.
What is the cause of root-knot on be-
gonias and petunias? How can it be
prevented and cured?
S. B.
I have not experienced any of this
trouble on begonias and petunias. If
you could use sterilized soil when pot-
ting, it should disappear. By using
lime and soot, especially the latter, the;
trouble should be minimized. C. W.

Mignonette.
The second and third sowings of
mignonette are now giving some splen-
did spikes, and, while hot weather holds
off, the quality will hold good. Keep
the temperature down at night; 40 to
42 degrees is sufficiently warm, but on
many nights this winter the outside
temperature has exceeded these figures,
so all we can do is to keep them as
cool as possible. If you have a really
good strain, it will pay to select one or
two of the finest spikes for seed, as
there is great variation in the seed sold.
Even the highest priced will produce
many comparatively worthless flowers.
Once a fine stem carrying large flowers,
light in color, with the flowers closely
set on the spikes, is secured, it will pay
to hold on to it.
The beds will now dry out much fast-
er and, as mignonette loves to have its
roots cool and moist, care should be
taken that the soil does not get into a
dry condition. A mulch of old manure
spread between the rows will keep the
surface soil moist and less watering
will be needed. Plants just coming
into flower should have liquid manure
once a week. Do not use chemical fer-
tilizers; cow or sheep manure liquid i&
the best.
Palms.
Before the real spring rush starts, a
few days should be allowed for over-
hauling palms. Some may need repot-
ting or retubbing, while others will re-
quire only a top-dressing. Add some
14 -inch bone to the soil where retubbing
will not be needed again for several
years. Bone meal can be added where
a couple of years will elapse before
plants are to be repotted again. A good
fibrous loam, sharp sand and one-fourth
of old and well decayed manure make*
a suitable soil for kentias, arecas, lata-
nias and phoenix. The weaker growing
Cocos Weddelliana, which makes com-
paratively few roots, does better in
loam, with sand and some leaf-mold
added where the loam is heavy and
retentive.
Any sponging required should now be
done. Many plants can be cleaned with
cold water alone, but where scale exists,
the leave"^ should be treated with
Aphine, fir tree oil, or some other in-
secticide.

Ectablishment of B. Lipman, Columbia City, Ind.
LIPMAN'S SUCCESS.
To the general public Indiana is
known as the birthplace of poets, just
as Ohio is known as the birthplace of
presidents, but in the trade the Hoosier
State has its renown as the home of
successful florists.
Since taking possession of the D. C.
Noble place at Columbia City, Ind., B.
Lipman has done splendidly. Before
removing to Indiana Mr. Lipman was
employed at a number of well-known
eastern establishments, among them the
Floral Exchange, Edgely, Pa.; 8. J.
Reuter & Son, Westerly, E. I.; L. A.
Noe, Madison, N. J.; J.' J. Habermehl's
Sons, Philadelphia, and D. B. Edwards,
Atlantic City, N. J. When he followed
the star of empire on its westward way
he located with the South Park Floral
Co., at New Castle, Ind. This was in
October, 1904. For two years he was a
grower of roses there, and then he
transferred to the shipping department,
where he remained until April 29, 1911.
He took possession of the Noble estab-
lishment May 1 of that year, having
made a lease for ten years. The place
at that time was devoted entirely to
carnations. Mr. Lipman dropped a part
of the carnations to make space for
Killarney, White Killarney, Bride and
Richmond, with a few Beauties to test
the growing qualities of the soil. Let
him tell the rest of it:
"I found that this was a good loca-
tion and that a good paying business
could be built up here. I therefore de-
cided to purchase the plant, instead of
continuing with my lease. This I did,
taking over the Northside Greenhouse
April 1, 1912. I have been successful in
the rose growing line up to the present,
inis season I am growing 2,000
iJeauties, with which I have had good
success, having had a continuous cut
and producing some fine flowers. My
place consists of six houses 21x150, one
house 14x72 and one house 10x50,
nf ^ ^ith the following: One house
n^i ^x^n*'^^' *^'"ee houses of Killarney
and White Killarney; 500 Brides and
ooZf f^^ations. I have been so suc-
rWi^"!,T*^' the Beauties that I have

stock shipped out for the holiday trade
and contains 5,000 blooms; we shipped

trade." The other picture is the ex-
terior view of the plant.
ASTERS FOR INSIDE CULTURE.
If we plant, in benches under glass,
Queen of the Market aster plants from
214-inch pots, April 15, "when will they
be in crop for cut flowers? Is it bet-
ter to grow them to a single flower per
plant or several to a plant, as in out-
door growing? If grown several flow-
ers to a plant, what will be a safe aver-
age number of high-grade flowers per
plant? If grown to a single bloom per
plant, how closely should the plants be
set or spaced?
W. G.
Queen of the Market asters planted
in benches about the middle of April
should give a few flowers by the middle
of June, and will continue flowering for
quite a number of weeks. It will not
pay you to grow these to a single bloom
per plant. They do not come very dou-
ble, like the Coojut*) Victorias and
Vick's branching varieties. Most of
the grower* of asters who plant inside
allow all the flowers to develop, having
use for even the shortest-stemmed ones
for funeral work. Queen of the Market
is a wonderfully prolific aster, and I
would suggest taking out the first ter-
minal flower and then allowing the ter-
minals on all side shoots to develop,
rubbing off any side buds which appear.
This will give you nice, salable flowers.
I have had g«|od results by setting
the plants eight inches apart in the
rows and running the rows twelve
inches apart. If you should decide to
grow, say, only four to six flowers per
plant, the rows could be as close as
nine inches. If only one flower per
plant is desired, six by six inches will
be sufficient, but you will find the me-
dium flowers are more desirable. Use
a compost such as will grow good carna-
tions or mums, and treat similarly to
mums. C. W.
CORNFLOWERS FOR MAY 30.
Will you kindly tell me the best way
to grow the double blue cornflowers out-
doors, to come in right for Decoration
day here, in southern New Jersey? I
grew these in pots last year, from seed-
lings started in the fall, but they
damped off in the field. They were cool
grown, so I cannot understand it. I
thought of sowing the seed outdoors and
thinning out. If this is advisable, when
is the best time to sow the seed?
H. K.
Sow the seeds at once in 3-inch pots.
Thin the seedlings out to three in each
pot. Start in a moderately cool house,
kept at 45 to 48 degrees at night. The
little plants should be gradually hard-
ened off and planted out by April 10
in well manured ground, where the cul-
tivator should be frequently plied among
them. Whether these cornflowers will
give a heavy crop for Memorial day
outdoors will depend much, of course,
on the season.
The seed can be sown outdoors just as
soon as frost has left the ground and
the soil has sufficiently dried. With you
this should be possible toward the end
of March, possiblv a little earlier.

B. Lipman's Cut, December 21, 1912.

Mabch 6, 1913.
HABDY EVEBBLOOMING BOSES.
I should like to get the names of
some roses that are everblooming, that
can be cut from summer until frost out-
side and that will winter in the ground
without injury in this Pennsylvania
climate. G. E. S.
The hybrid tea class will be the most
useful for you. These are not quite so
hardy as the hybrid perpetuals, but are
more persistent bloomers. A few good
varieties to plant are: Gruss an Tep-
litz, bright crimson; Radiance, cerise
pink; Dark Pink Killarney; White Kil-
larney; Mme. Caroline Testout, satiny
rose; Mme. Abel Chatenay, carmine
rose, shaded salmon; Mme. Eavary, deep
yellow; Viscountess Folkestone, creamy
pink; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, white,
tinted lemon; Konigin Carola, satiny
rose.
If your minimum winter temperature
falls much below zero, it is safer to
lift and bury these roses, replanting
them each spring as soon as the ground
is open. In less severe weather, if
earthed up and protected with straw
they will winter saftely.
Among the more persistent flowering
hybrid perpetuals, Frau Karl Druschki,
white; Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford,
rosy pink, and Mrs. John Laing, satiny
pink, are a good trio. One or two other
roses you should plant are: Clothilde
Soupert, white, shaded pink, and
Maman Cochet, both white and pink va-
rieties. These latter are teas and are
better heeled in a coldframe over win-
ter. Hermosa, pale pink, is also useful
for cutting. C. W.
ROSES FOB MEMORIAL DAY.
We are desirous of getting a quantity
of pot roses in bloom for Memorial day.
Can you inform us how they should be
handled in order to get them in? The
varieties are baby ramblers, Magna
Charta, Mrs. Cutbush, Ulrich Brunner
and Frau Karl Druschki. J. C.
None of the roses named will need
much forcing to flower them for Me-
morial day. If not already potted, see
that they are got in readiness at once.
Of course, if they were potted late in
the fall, they will do all the better for
it. Keep them in a cold cellar or pit,
as near the freezing point as possible.
They will start to grow quickly if
given any warmth -at all. The hybrid
perpetuals should be pruned back quite
hard. Leave three to four eyes on the
stronpost shoots and one or two on
weaker ones. The baby ramblers need
merely to have weak and dead wood re-
moved and the end of the shoots headed
back a little.
The roses will not. require a warm
house to flower them 4Bv Memorial day.
If placed in a greenhouse, kept at 45
degrees at night the • first week in
April and 5 degrees warmer when
started, they will be on time. If they
seem a trifle early, hold them back in
a cold house when opening, and any
that seem backward can be given a lit-
tle more heat. C. W.
FOB BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.
What roses that are used for green-
house planting can also be satisfactorily
grown outside for cut flowers, in this
Pennsylvania climate, and how should
they be handled? G. R. S.
Such varieties as Killarney, White
Killarney, Killarney Queen, Richmond,
Mrs. Aaron Ward, Kaiserin Augusta
Victoria, Mme. Abel Chatenay, Radiance
and My Maryland flower well outdoors,
in addition to being good greenhouse
roses. Grafted plants, as a rule, are supe-
rior to own-root stock outdoors, and
field-grown stock is preferable to small
plants in pots, although the latter, if in
3-inch to 4-inch pots, do quite well. I
have sometimes seen good results ob-
tained by heading back stock which was
cleaned out of the houses in April, and
planting the same outside.
The hybrid teas and teas prefer a
well manured soil, but a lighter soil
than the hybrid perpetuals. Plant so
that the grafts are covered two to
three inches. Be sure the roots are
moist, >and firm the soil thoroughly
about them. A mnlch of old m,aiiure in
summer is ^beneficial, and if water can
be supplied during dry periods the
plants will be much benefited.
C. W.
PLANTING AND TBAINING SMILAX
Will you give me some instructions
with regard to smilax? How many
plants should grow from one ounce of
seed? How far apart should they be
planted in the beds, for best results?
How many vines should be allowed to
twine on each string, in order to pro-
duce the best possible strings? Some
strings that one sees are too matted and
bunchy looking. M. T.
It is not easy to say how marly plants
of smilax one should get from one ounce
of seed, as much would depend on the
condition of the seed and also on the
way in which it might be treated.
Seeds sown now ought to produce
plants of good size for planting next
July, when they should be planted in
the bed in rows ten inches apart, the
plants being spaced eight inches apart
in the rows. All the strong shoots these
young plants will produce may be
trained up one string, and will be none
too large for the average market.
W. H. T.
DISEASED GEBANIUM FOLIAGE.
Will you kindly tell us what is the
disease on the enclosed geranium leaves,
and also state what is the remedy for it?
J. K. & S.
This is a common disease on geraniums
under glass, and also makes its appear-
ance outdoors during spells of hot, moist
and sunless weather. If your plants are
badly affected I would discard the worst,
pick the affected foliage from the others
and spread them out so that the foliage
of each plant will just clear that of its
neighbor. Use care in watering; a com-
mon mistake is made in overwatering
geraniums. If kept constantly moist
they make a soft, sappy growth, which
is more susceptible to disease than when
the plants are allowed to become fairly
dry between the waterings. This latter
method hardens the growth, toughens
the leaves and makes the plants more
disease-proof.
Do not play the hose on your plants.
A wetting over may make them look
nice and fresh, but helps to breed this
leaf disease. Clean the plants frequent-
ly, giving them a fresh stand, so that
they will not become crowded. Let the
night temperature run from 45 to 50
degrees, not over the latter figure. Never
use any shade on the glass; the plants
want all the sun they can get. Ventilate
at every possible opportunity; geraniums
love plenty of fresh air. When propa-
gating, do not leave the cuttings in the
sand any longer than is absolutely neces-
sary after they are rooted. Weakened
constitutions may be often traced to too
long a stay in the sand. Do not become
discouraged. A little rational treatment
will clean out this disease. C. W.
Ansonia, Conn. — Frank L. Hotchkiss,
who recently sold his greenhouses on

Rose Growing Establishment of McAIpiae Bros., at Ezeter» N. H.
McALPINE BROS.
Among the best known of the more
recent additions to the ranks of New
England rose growers are McAlpine
Bros., of Exeter, N. H. After care-
fully studying the rose growing situa-
tion for some time, as well as the gen-
eral features and market conditions in
and around Boston, W. A. and George
F. McAlpine decided to erect one large
rose house as a good business invest-
mfsnt. Suitable land was procured at
Exeter, N. H., where there is a gocl
soil for roses, as well as a pure atmosr
phere, and a Lord & Burnham house,
60x400, was erected and planted in the
summer of 1911.
The brothers, in order to achieve the
best results, decided to divide their
labors. William A., who had had some
years- of experience as salesman for
William H. Elliott, his uncle, and for
the J. A. Budlong & Son Co., of Auburu,
K. I., decided that he was best fitted
to attend to the firm's interests at the
selling end, in the Boston Flower Ex
change, while his brother, George F.,
who had spent some years at W, H,
Elliott's big Madbury establishment as
foreman and achieved marked success
there, took charge of the growing tnd,
at Exeter. The new firm's name, Mc-
Alpine Bros., New England Rose Con-
servatories, Exeter, N. H., soon became
known in flower growing circles.
The first year the young firm
achieved such success that their roses
were eagerly sought after by the most
critical buyers, and it was therefore de-
cided to erect another Lord & Burnham
house, 60x400, early in 1912. This was
planted the same season and the prod-
ucts of the two houses are of such qual-
ity that they are already known beyond
the confines of New England.
No time or space has been wasted by
experimenting on new and untried sorts,
only such as the public demands being
grown. The varieties raised are:
American Beauty, Killarney and White
Killarney, Killarney Queen, Mrs. Aaron
Ward, Lady Hillingdon and Richmond.
The Richmonds grown at Exeter have
caused many a gasp of astonishment
this season, both in New York and Bos-
ton— stems up to seventy-two inches in
length and flowers of marvelous size
and substance. Other roses are equally
well grown, leaving no doubt that this
young and progressive firm has made
good and is in the field to stay.
W. N. Craig.
WITH NEAR-BOSTON GROWERS.
The new carnation house of Wm. R.
Nicholson, at Framingham, Mass., Lord
& Burnham construction, is a grand
sight, feeing a veritable sheet of flow-
ers and buds. All the other carnation
houses are in good crop also. Beacon
has, of late, burst heavily, the first
year it has done so. A small batch of
Commodore looked well, and this will
be largely planted next season. Whit©
Wonder and White Enchantress are fine,
with not much choice between them.
Benora is splendid. Pocahontas is a big
fancy crimson, now giving a great crop.
Pink Delight has the field to itself in
its particular color, and Gloriosa is do-
ing splendidly. Golden Ray is bloom-
ing profusely, but is rather small, and
two new yellows will be substituted for
it next season. Some promising seed-
lings were noted in one house. Mignon-
ette as grown here is grand; probably
none better is to be found in the coun-
try. Several houses are devoted to yel-
low marguerites, mostly old veterans
with gnarled stems. Grown in large
pots which were partially plunged, they
are giving some fine flowers. Shant-
rocks in small pans were well grown.
Freesias are also grown here in quan-
tity. The Godfrey calla is a wonderful
bloomer as growii.here, as many as six
flowers being open on one 8-inch pot.
Mr. Nicholson has plans laid for a big
carnation house for 1914, dimensions to
be 80x450. This house will accommo-
date 35,000 plants.

The Florists' Review
Mabcii 6, 1913.
Mass., has severai . fine houses of car-
nations, his most recent house, of King
construction, being in particularly good
shape. In whites he prefers White Per-
fection to White Wonder, and will grow
less of the latter next season. Rosette
was carrying some excellent flowers and
St. Nicholas was in fine crop. Beacon
has hardly burst at all. Benora here
was fine, as, indeed, it is everywhere.
Helen Goddard still is grown in quan-
tity; nothing superior of its shade has
yet appeared. The old Harry Fenn will
have to make way for the larger new
varieties, but there have been few
greater money-makers than this good
old crimson. Pink Delight and Glo-
riosa both looked well, and are leaders in
their respective shades. Lady North-
-cliffe, an English variety similar to
Pink Delight, seems to be a free
bloomer. A bright crimson seedling,
No. 59, raised by Dorner, looked well
and will be more heavily planted next
season. Begonia Gloire de Chatelaine
is grown in quantity and is equally
good as a pot plant or bedder, flower-
ing the whole year. A good assortment
of plants for retail trade is grown. The
business steadily increasing, a King
construction house 10x131 will be built
this season, for small pot plants.
Orchids at J. T. Butterworth 's. South
Framingham, never looked so well. It
is not necessary for Mr. Butterworth to
be continually importing, as he has the
faculty of keeping his cattleyas in
good health indefinitely, and increas-
ing them also. Some baskets of Cat-
tleya Triana?, carrying twenty-five flow-
ers each, were fine. All the other cat-
tleyas, such as gigas, Schrcedera?, Mos-
siffi and labiata, were in grand health,
and some of the specimen plants were
immense. One basket of Laslia anceps
carried twenty spikes, and there were
others almost equally good. Specimens
of Cymbidium Sanderi (insigne) carry-
ing spikes six feet high, with eleven to
thirteen flowers each, were the flnest 1
had seen. Dendrobiums, Miltonia vexil-
laria, cypripediums, vandas and other
orchids all looked much at home. Mr.
Butterworth does not believe in feed-
ing orchids. He uses fern fiber exclu-
sively in potting or basketing, and is
careful to make the compost fine. Dutch
bulbs are grown here in quantity. Lily
of the valley is well done. In the car-
nation houses Gloriosa, W^insor, White
Wonder, Beacon and Pink Delight are
grown.
At Robert Montgomery's, at Natick,
roses are the specialty, all the glass be-
ing devoted to them except one house,
which is occupied bv Easter lilies and
young rose stock and was earlier planted
with chrysanthemums. The roses
grown are Killarney. W'hite Killarney,
Richmond and Mrs. Ward, all being the
picture of health. All flowers grown
here are sold at the Boston Cooperative
Market. One new rose house 30x200
will be built here the coming season.
As a side issue, Mr. Montgomery has an
aviary of considerable size. Pheasants,
Golden Silver, Lady Amherst and Eng-
lish, are his special favorites.
.Tames Wheeler is located close to
Robert Montgomery in Natick. He is
one of the newest but most successful
of growers for the Boston market. Car-
nations are his specialty and they are
well grown. Benora, as elsewhere,
looked superb. W^hite Wonder, White
Enchantress and White Perfection are
all grown in quantity and it was hard
to say which was best. In production to
date White Enchantress is in the lead.
Beacon hardly showed a burst flower.
Pink Delight and Gloriosa were each
good. A large bed of yellow marguer-
ites, propagated last summer and fall,
and now over four feet high, were flow-
ering freely and rather knocked the
theory that it is necessary to carry
over old plants each season. Pink and
yellow snapdragons looked first-class.
Mignonette, gladioli and Coelogyne cris-
tata also are grown. Mr. Wheeler has
built himself a fine stone bungalow
and is comfortably located. His flowers
go via electric express on the Boston
and Worcester street railroad each day
and are sold at the Boston Cooperative
Market. W. N. Craig.
VARIEGATED VINCA.
Will you kindly answer the follow-
ing through the columns of The Re-
view? When is the proper time to
lift variegated vinca from the field
to put under glass to force for spring
sales? Can they be taken from the
field and put under glass at once, or is
it advisable to put them in a cellar
for a while and thus avoid a sudden
change? I have a number of plants in
the field and would be grateful to you
for any light on the subject. W, B.
This popular plant should be lifted
not later than October, potted and
placed at once in a greenhouse. Along
the edges of benches is often found a
convenient place for them. If your
plants are still alive I would suggest
lifting and potting them at once. They
will soon make a crop of cuttings suit-
able for propagating purposes. These,
rubbed off with a heel, root quickly,
but pieces of mature wood also will
root. They do not need a warm house
to root in. One such as is used for car-
nations is all right. C. W.
NEW YOEK.
The Market.
Another week of extreme dullness has
been added to Lent. During the last
few days the spring-like weather seemed
to give a little impetus to business and
redeemed the week from making a rec-
ord for dullness. Beauties suddenly de-
veloped a scarcity, which caused an
advance in quotations to 7.5 cents to $1
for specials. It was only in the higher
grades that this scarcity was noticeable.
Shorts with imperfect flowers were
plentiful at 2 cents to 4 cents, although
good blooms brought up to 6 cents.
Brides, Maids and Killarneys were in
full supply at 2 cents to 6 cents, al-
though choice blooms brought as much
as 8 cents. The specialties have been
quiet, although choice Richmonds have
been in somewhat better demand as
substitutes for Beauties. The yellow
roses have been in better supply. Cat-
tleyas continue in plentiful supply at
12 cents to ."30 cents, according to qual-
ity. Easter lilies share with Beauties
in being the only firm flowers on the
market, ranging from 8 cents to 10
cents. Valley is weak, at $1 to $2.50
per hundred, the supply of shorts being
excessive. Gardenias are dull and
lower at 50 cents to $2 per dozen.
Sweet peas have slumped to 10 cents
a dozen bunches for shorts, although
choice long-stemmed peas bring as
much as $1. Violets lead the list in'
weakness, at ]0 cents to 40 cents, with
practically no demand at all. Paper
Whites are plentiful at 75 cents and up.
Callas hold their own at 60 cents to
$1.25 per dozen. Lilies have declined
to 20 cents to 50 cents, with few buy-
ers at the decline. Tulips are plentiful
at 50 cents to $1. Freesias go begging
at 5 cents to 15 cents per bunch. Bulb
stock generally is in full supply. There
is a steady growth in the supplies of
old-fashioned flowers, such as wall:
flowers, stocks, etc., which are gaining
in popular favor. Pansies are coming
in freely and fine flowers are offered
at 15 cents per dozen bunches. Ama-
ryllis brings 20 cents per flower.
Various Notes.
J. Austin Shaw, manager of the New
York office of The Review, has been ill
at the Seney hospital, Brooklyn, since
February 14. For the first week of his
illness Mr. Shaw was delirious and his
death was momentarily expected. His
fever and delirium have passed, how-
ever, leaving him weak but on the road
to recovery. In fact, unless some un-
foreseen complication develops he will
probably be able to leave the hospital
for his home within a week. During
his illness he has been remembered by
many of his friends in the trade, his
room at the hospital being at times
filled with flowers. Communications
sent to his residence either by mail
or telephone have prompt attention
from his assistant.
The eight directors were present at
the regular monthly meeting of the
New York Cut Flower Exchange, which
was held at the Queens Plaza Court,
under the presidency of John Donald-
son. Only routine business was trans-
acted.
Wm. Elliott & Sons will appropri-
ately celebrate St. Patrick's day by
their opening auction of evergreens,
rhododendrons, etc.
The New York Flower Auction Co.,
146 West Twenty-eighth street, seems
to have discontinued business, as the
store bears a " To Let ' ' sign. 'The busi-
ness opened last fall, with John Cleary
as auctioneer.
.Tohn Young, secretary of the Society
of American Florists and of the New
York Florists' Club, was taken to
Roosevelt hospital February 23 and
operated on for carbuncle on the neck.
He is doing well and expects to be out
again before long. His friends in the
trade have been kind in sending flow-
ers, so many being sent that all the
patients have been able to share in
Mr. Young's enjoyment of them.
George J. Gould has added three
large houses to his private range at
Castle Gould, Lakewood, N. J.
The MacNiff Horticultural Co., like
Woodrow Wilson, had an inauguration
March 4. when it held the inaugural
sale of its extensive new building on
Vesey street. The date was two weeks
earlier than the usual opening time for
auction sales, due to the mild season
in Holland, which has justified earlier
shipment of stock.
C. C. Trepel has opened another
branch, at the store of Simpson, Craw-
ford & Co., on Sixth avenue. He now
has stores at Gimbel's and Blooming-
dale's in New York and at Lozier's, at
the Blossom, opposite Lozier's, and at
Gates and Bedford avenues, Brooklyn.

avenue and in the Greenpoint section,
this makes five stores which he oper-
ates. The two brothers between them
get rid of large quantities of flowers
and their visits to the wholesale mar-
ket are welcome, as they frequently
clear out surplus stock in a most re-
freshing manner.
At the February meeting of the New
York Florists' Club A. S. Burns, Jr., of
Spring Valley, N. Y., showed a new
seedling carnation named Electra, which
was given eighty-six points by the
judges. In reporting this fact in the
issue of February 13, through a tele-
grapher's error credit was given to
Mr. McKnight, who exhibited some
other flowers, for producing Electra.
The committee undoubtedly will award
Mr. Burns a certificate as soon as they
liave an opportunity of visiting his
greenhouses to see the growing plants.
The seedsmen are all busy and agree
in saying that more greenhouses are
being built than ever before at this
season.
The Henry M. Kobinson Co. says
sales on the new rose, Mrs. Charles
Kussell, which is a debutante of this
season, have held up remarkably well
in a season of dullness. The Miss
Helen Taft is another specialty that
sells well.
The old Broadway Central hotel has
been overrun with Hollanders who are
over here selling Dutch bulbs, ever-
greens, etc.
In response to a call issued by Mrs.
F. H. Traendly, a meeting of the
Ladies' Committee of the New York
Florists' Club was held at the Wood-
stock hotel February 28. About twenty
ladies were present. Charles B. Weath-
ered, chairman of the entertainment
committee, also was present to aid in
the organization of the committee.
Mrs. Traendly was elected chairman,
Mrs. Julius Koehrs, Jr., secretary, and
Mrs. Joseph Manda treasurer. After a
general discussion, subcommittees were
appointed to care for different phases
of the entertainment in connection
with the approaching flower show.

dented demand for Easter novelties.
Will the bill introduced at Albany, if

ot those selling cut flowers and plants on
commission as well as those selling vege-
tables and fruits? It is a question that
IS interesting some of the wholesalers.

Publicity Work.
Minneapolis florists have not made
as much noise in the trade as have
some others, but the cooperative adver-
tising now being tried in other cities
has been in use here for some time.
The first attempt was made at Mothers'
day in 1912, as the result of an article
in The Review that pointed out the
way. It was so successful that it has
since been repeated, and will be con-
tinued. The last effort was for St.
Valentine's day, February 14, when
a committee of which C. N. Ruedlinger
is chairman raised $130 by subscrip-
tion and published some attractive de-
signed advertisements in the leading
papers, also securing some well writ-
ten news articles on the increasing use
of flowers as valentines. No names
appeared in the advertisements.
Dinner to S. A. F. Directors.
The directors of the S. A. F. held a
two days' meeting here February 25
and 26, in preparation for the conven-
tion next August. The work was put
through with expedition and the plans
of the Convention Association of Min-
neapolis, recently organized ■ by the
florists, were approved. Wednesday
evening, February 26, the officials were
tendered a dinner by the local mem-
bers, at the Hotel Eadisson. The visit-
ors present were: President J. K. M. L.
Farquhar, Boston; Treasurer W. F.
Kasting, Buffalo; Ex-president Eichard
Vincent, White Marsh, Md., and the
following directors: A. F. Poehlmann,
Morton Grove, 111.; Thos. Roland,
Nahant, Mass.; E. A. Peirce, Waltham,
Mass.; H. A. Bunyard, New York; C.
H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and J. A.
Evans, Richmond, Ind.; also George
Asmus, who was acting as secretary in
place of John Young, who was ill in
New York, and A. F. Longren and H.
Nicholson, of Chicago. The Twin City
florists who were present were: Theo-
dore Wirth, Wm. N. Steel, C. N. Rued-
linger, C. A. Bossen, Louis Boeglin, S.
D. Dysinger, 0. J. Olson, E. P. Holm,
L. L. May, Hugh Will, A. S. Rice,
Henry Will, O. C. Swanson, G. A. Will,
C. F. Rice, Fred Busch, A. Klinker-
berry, J. A. Ridgway, T. Commandros,

W. D. Desmond, R. A. Latham, J. G.
Taylor, A. Lauritzen, C. E. Schaffer,
Max Kaiser, Le Roy Cady, and Wm. H.
Bofferding.
The dinner was a most enjoyable
affair in all its features. Most of the
visitors were called on for remarks
and in addition most of the Twin City
leaders had something to say that
showed- how enthusiastically the ap-
proaching convention is regarded here.
H.
South Orange, N. J. — Joseph Manda,
recognized as one of our best orchid
experts, regrets that the value of space
compels him to relinquish the growing
of many beautiful varieties and confine
himself to commercial or everyday
kinds. His fine collection embraces On-
cidium splendidum, Cattleya Dowiana
and C. Gaskelliana. Among the latter
were eleven imported plants, one of
which flowered pure white and was
sold recently for $150.
OBITUAEY.
Henry Behder.
Henry Rehder, father of Will Rehder,
the florist of Wilmington, N. C, died
February 22, after a brief illness. He
was in his eightieth year. An especially
sad circumstance connected with his
death was the fact that his wife, who
had been his constant companion and
helpmate for many years, was also on
a bed of illness and was in too serious
a condition to be told any of the sad
news about her husband.
Though Mr, Rehder had retired from
active business, he continued to assist
his son until a few days before his
death. He was born in the little town
of Vegesack, Germany. He came to
America when a young man, and lo-
cated first in New York city, but soon
removed to Wilmington. When he ar-
rived the agitation preceding the Civil
war was in progress and he took up
the cause of the people of his chosen
home, serving through the four years
of the war as a member of the German
Volunteers. During the reconstruction
period he returned to Wilmington,
where he was married and began to
build up business and recover from
the losses he had sustained. While
never a rich man, he was one of
the well-to-do business men of the city.
He had four sons, John H., C. F., Will
and Carl B. Rehder, all of whom still
reside in Wilmington.
Funeral services were held at the
home, 819 Red Cross street, and later
at St. Paul's Lutheran church, of
which Mr. Rehder was the oldest mem-
ber. Among the numerous floral offer-
ings were designs from Raleigh and
Greensboro, N. C, and from Washing-
ton, D. C.
William Blacker.
William Blacker, of Clearfield, Pa., died
February 21. He was born in Bristol,
August '22, 1855, left England in 1880
and came to Houtzdale, where he re-
mained until about fourteen years ago,
when he removed to Clearfield. Mr.
Blacker was a local preacher in the Prim-
itive Methodist church until a few years
ago, when he had to give up the work on
account of his health. He then started
in the florists ' business in Houtzdale.
Shortly after he returned to Clearfield
and became superintendent of Hillcrest
cemetery. He also erected seven green-
houses and was regarded as one of the
most successful florists in that part of
the state. He is survived by his wife,
one son and five daughters.
Peter Morscheiser.
Peter Morscheiser, aged 75 years, for
many years a florist in La Salle, 111.,
died February 24. He had been aUing
only a week and had been seriously ill
only for two days. Pneumonia was
the cause of death.
Elijah Cottingham.
Elijah Cottingham, of New Castle,
Ind., died February 20, aged 41 years.
He is survived by a wife and his par-
ents.
James A. Hovey.
From Newton Highlands, Mass.,
comes word of the death there last
week of James A. Hovey, for several
years in charge of the seed department
of the George A. Weaver Co., New-
port, R. J.

Index to Advertisers
Page 130
Eesults bring advertising.
The Eeview brings results.
Azaleas will not be abundant this
Easter.
Shipments now may be made C. O. D.
by parcel post. The collection, return
charge and insurance are to be prepaid
by affixing 10 cents in parcel post stamps.
This is not the special number of The
Be view; this 132-page issue is all in the
day's work. The Easter Number comes
out next week. It promises to set an-
other new mark for trade journalism in
this field.
The fall show at Cleveland was so suc-
cessful that the Ohio Horticultural So-
ciety announces a spring exhibition June
12 to 14, to be held at Gray's armory.
Copies of the premium list may be had
by addressing John N. Stockwell, 218
City Hall, Cleveland.
For the last few weeks there has been
an exasperating increase in the com-
plaints of the non-arrival of The Review.
The cause has not yet been found. The
papers are mailed regularly every
Thursday; they should be delivered as
unfailingly. It will be considered a fa-
vor if subscribers will write any time
the paper has not arrived forty-eight
hours after the usual hour of delivery.
Your package by mail will get spe-
cial delivery, just like a letter, if, in ad-
dition to the parcel post stamps, you
put on the 10-cent special delivery
stamp or aflBx 10 cents of ordinary
postage stamps, marking the package
"For Special Delivery." It is an ex-
tension of the parcel post service that
should be the means of largely increas-
ing its value to retail florists.
BUSINESS EMBABRA.8SMENTS.
Albuquerque, N. M. — The judge of
the district court has issued an order
for the sale of the property of the
Albuquerque Floral Co. A receiver for
the company was appointed a short
time ago, as reported in The Review
of February 20. The property for the
most part is plants and shrubs that
require constant attention, according
to the petition for a sale, and to con-
duct the business on a paying basis
it would be necessary to replenish the
stock of flowers and make repairs on
ihe buildings. Sufficient funds for this
work are not at hand, so the judge or-
dered the receiver to sell the property
at public or private sale.
Fort Wayne, Ind. — J. E. Hauswirth,
formerly of Chicago, has filed a petition
in bankruptcy here, scheduling liabili-
ties of $3,769.85 and assets of $237.
AGAIN THE RECORD.
The classified ads still increase —
each week since January 1 there has
been a handsome increase in these busy
little liners in spite of the fact that a
good many stay only a few insertions,
like this:
Discontinue the geranium advertisement
for the present; It has done great work for
me. — H. M. Totman, Randolph, Vt., February
23, 1913.
Or is it because of such letters as
the above that the department grows?
At any rate, last week's issue con-
tained thirty-seven columns of classi-
fied plant advertisements, practically all
sent in unsolicited by advertisers who
had tried them before with good results;
in fact, a good many florists now grow
stock specially to wholesale through
the use of these liners. It makes possi-
ble a neat increase in a prosperous local
business.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
Business has continued to improvQ
during the last week, as it usually does
as Lent draws out of the first half.
There has been an abundance of stock
of every kind, but it has been possible
to clean out most of it at a price, so
that the waste has been slight.
The special feature of the market has
been the small supply of strictly first-
class Beauties, the large supply and not
too brisk demand for sweet peas, and
the overwhelming arrivals of violets,
with no possibility of selling them all
at any price. Violets never have sold
in the last week in February so cheaply
as they did this year. There appears
to be no explanation except increased
supply and decreased popularity. The
singles have been blooming prodigiously
and the New York growers evidently
find the Chicago market one of their
best, even if it is lower than ever be-
fore at this time of year. There are
heavy supplies of sweet peas of all
grades. The best bring as much as $2
per hundred, while it is difficult to
clear the shortest peas at 30 cents per
hundred. In fact, the supply of all
grades is so large that the buyer who
will take a quantity can get a conces-
sion on almost any grade or color.
If a buyer needed 100 long-stemmed
Beauties, every one perfect, he would
have trouble finding them; indeed, to
get a dozen perfect flowers of one

length is not easy at present, but the
growers say the new crop will alter
this unfavorable state of affairs and
that good Beauties soon will be abun-
dant again. Other roses are in good
supply and of first-class color. Kich-
mond is so fine that many are using it
instead of Beauties. ^ " i
Carnations continue to come in heavily
but they are making rather better prices,
perhaps because the quality has im-
proved. There still are more splits
than usual, just why nobody can tell,
but the average quality of the stock
is excellent. Lilies are more abu?^dant;
evidently some of the crops are early.
Callas also are coming in freely. Tu-
lips are not so abundant as they were,
although there has been little change
in prices. Paper Whites are no longer
a burden and few Romans are seen.
There are moderate quantities of jon-
quils and daffodils, but no cumbersome
surplus. Freesia is about over. A few
stocks, a little mignonette and some
good antirrhinum are seen. Valley con-
tinues in abundant supply; there are
now so many forcers that any -short-
age is due to unforeseen demand. ^
The situation in ferns is beconmg^
interesting. Just at a time when the
market ordinarily advances, some of the
wholesalers are offering ferns below
present cost at first hands and there
seems to be a disposition td start some-
thing that may not be profitably fin-
ished. "'•• '

There is a "For Rent" sign on the

and E. H. Hunt. The Hunt business,
it is understood, will be concentrated
on one of the upper floors of the build-
ing previously used. Bassett & Wash-
burn have sublet from Hunt. Mr.
Washburn says he does not expect to
move, anticipating that he and another
tenant in the building will continue to
share the second floor.

The Florists^ Review
March 6, 1913.
•George Asmus has been appointed on
the executive committee of the Active
Club of the Central West Side, which
is opposing the city in its i)lan to get
the new -.Union station built on T\vjpjftlj
street. .„r.. o"'
J. E. Hauswirth, who is employed at
Fort Wayne, has filed a petition in bank-
ruptcy there. He has scheduled liabili-
ties of $3,769.85 and assets of $237.
Weiland & Rlsch report that Evans-
ton florists have had trouble that they
lay to calcium hypochloride put into
the city water to prevent the spread of
typhoid fever. Several growers will
put down wells.
James Leveson, Clark and Huron
streets, has broken into the daily pa-
pers over family difficulties.
John P. Smith, J. P. Wagner and
Charles Hengesch are the incorporators
of the Chicago Greenhouse Vegetable
Growers' Association, organized to pro-
mote business interests.
There was a quarterly meeting of the
Horticultural Society of Chicago at the
office of Mt. Greenwood cemetery in the
First National Bank building March 1,
to inaugurate plans for boosting the
spring show now less than a month
away.
A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna-
tion Co., arranged for a special car on
the Alton to carry the Chicago visitors
to the Peoria convention March 4.
N. J. Wietor says that this is prov-
ing one of the best seasons on record
in the carnation cuttings department of
Wietor Bros.
Geo. Reinberg now is giving the
greater part of his time to the affairs
of the Lincoln Supply Co. His son now
is associated in the business with him.
John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., notes as the most remarkable fea-
ture of last week's business that their
total sales showed one of the best in-
creases made this year, in spite of the
low price of violets. He says they are
getting better prices for carnations
than last year and that the sweet peas
return more money because of better
quality.
Kyle & Foerster say that Lent is
comparing well with last year.
Zech & Mann report satisfaction with
present conditions.
John Kruchten says his crops are now
pretty well off, but that he expects
good cuts for Easter.
The February weather was almost ex-
actly normal, except in the matter of
sunshine, of which there was nearly
thirty per cent more than usual in
the month. The average was seven
hours per day, which is sixty-six per
cent of the possible, with fifty per cent
the usual record for February.
Phil Schupp, manager of J. A. Bud-
long's, reports that Beauties are show-
ing a tendency to improve with better
weather conditions. Valley is more in
demand than is usual during Lent,
which, according to Mr. Schupp, must
be due to increased popularity of cor-
sage bouquets.
If corrugated boxes can be Tised ad-
vantageously for overnight shipments
into the Chicago market, from New
Castle and Richmond, why can't they
be used to advantage on overnight
shipments going out! The customers
could bundle them and freight them
back. Think of the saving, on express
and on boxes 1

He will grow pot plants, looking to the
market for cut flowers, as he antici-
pates working up a nice retail trade.
John F. Kidwell, president of the
Chicago Flower Growers' Association,
says a large number of advance Easter
orders were on file March 3 and he be-
lieves that the out-of-town retailers are
realizing the importance of getting
their orders in early.
Friends of H. H. Wilkerson, man-
ager for Henry Wittbold, have been
offering congratulations, the occasion
being a son, born March 3. Papa Wil-
kerson says both mother and son are
doing well.
John Ganger, of Ganger & Bergman,
is again free to pay his undivided at-
tention to business cares, after a term
of jury service. Mr. Ganger says trade
has kept a good pace and he believes rc»
moval to the Michigan avenue location
has more than doubled the business.
Erne & Klingel have found a steady
increase in shipping orders lately and,
^with Easter approaching, Mr. Erne
figures on record-breaking business.
The Bohannon Floral Co. has had a
good run of business and, while table
decorations have fallen off somewhat,

Mabch 6, 1918.
Mr. Bohannon says it lias more than
paid him to push these and single vio-
lets— doubles are not handled.
Bassett & Washburn say that their
average daily cut of carnations for the
last ten days has been around 15,000.
John Mangel says Lent has not cut
down the business as he anticipated and
for the last two weeks his staff has
found plenty of work. Funeral pieces
have been especially numerous and this
class of work has helped considerably
in holding up the volume of sales.
A. L. Yaughan states that while or-
ders are more numerous than last year
at this time, the footings on the indi-
vidual orders do not figure so high,
owing to the advanced prices of last
winter, due to the extreme weather
that caused prices to hold firm.
Lubliner & Trinz have not yet se-
cured a new location to take the place
of their present headquarters on Ran-
dolph street. Mr. Trinz announces that
their new Chicago theater, on Forty-
seventh street, is nearing completion
and will be , opened soon. A second
theater is in process of construction on
Central Park avenue, while the site for
a third is being considered.
James H. Burdett, whom many florists
know as press agent for the flower
shows, ex-secretary of the Horticultural
Society of Chicago, is now a member
of the state civil service commission.
His was the first appointment made by
the new governor.
Paul Blome, 1361 North Clark street,
has found considerable business in the
way of table decorations and reports
trade has held up beyond expectations
for Lent. An ^der has been placed
with Buchbinder Bros, for one of the
new model Buchbinder refrigerators,
which, it is hoped, will be ready in
time for Easter.
Frank Oechslin has been forced to
discontinue all shipping business on
Easter stock, on account of the heavy
local demand. A walk through his
establishment explains why business is
so rushing, as everything is in apple-pie
order and the stock in the best of con-
dition.
The Geo. Wittbold Co. has put a new
Autocar into commission. Tt has a
carrying capacity of one and one-half
tons and will be used for light delivery
purposes in the city.
J. W. Davis, of Davenport, la., was
in town February 28, with Mrs. Davis,
on their way home from a three weeks '
outing in Florida. Mr. Davis is the
controlling factor in the model plant
of the trans-Mississippi section. He has
been picking 20,000 sweet peas a day
from one house, shipping them to the
A. L. Randall Co.
Mrs. K. N. Cooper, manager of the
Auburn dale Goldfish Co., seems to be
getting more than her share of hard
luck since the first of the year. The
latter part of December Mrs. Cooper
fell on an icy walk and she has not yet
recovered from the shock. She has
been confined to her home on this ac-
count for the last six weeks. As re-
ported in The Review, her establish-
ment was recentUy burglarized, and on
top of all this the mysterious death of
a young colored woman, employed by
her, is causing Mrs. Cooper consider-
able worry. The woman failed to re-
port for work for several days and on
investigation was found in a hospital,
where she died several days later. Mrs.

AN APPEAL.
The Morris. County Gardeners ' and Flo-
rists' Society will hold the annual carna-
tion night March 12, at the meeting
rooms, Madison, N. J. We have plenty
of vases and fine tables, so there is room
for all we get. Our own boys will bring
all they can in the standard sorts, and we
would appeal to introducers through The
Review to send us their 1913 candidates,
so we can all see them and let the public
see them, too. There are a grand lot
around this year, and it would be a pity
to not let us see them as they actually
are. We will have an essay on culture,
too. Send all consignments in care of
C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and a full
dozen of us will do justice in the way of
staging them. Edward Reagan, Sec 'y.
KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
The Lenten season as yet seems to
be almost forgotten and business is as
good as could be expected in such cold,
uncertain weather. The wholesalers are
short on everything. Roses are com-
ing into crop again, after a shortage
which has continued for five weeks. The
Killarneys and Richmonds will be ex-
ceptionally fine for Easter, and the
Beauties are of splendid quality. Bulb-
ous stock is arriving in larger quanti-
ties, but is only bringing a fair price.
Yellow seems to take the lead in the
color of bulbous stock, especially in
daffodils. Sweet peas have improved in
quality and increased in quantity, but
do not seem to move fast. Carnations
have advanced a little in price, and
they also show a marked improvement
in quality. Sprengeri and adiantums
are in better demand and the stock is
improving. Violets seem to drag, as
there are so many on the market.
Various Notes.
E. D. Ellsworth will have close to
1,800 lily plants ready for Easter, with
any quantity of blooms and buds which
look exceptionally fine.
William Foith will have a fine crop
of roses and carnations for Easter. His
carnations are especially good — better
than in any previous year.

steadily growing profit. They've found that in addition to
saving them big money, the McCray has boomed business

Alexander McConnell of New York City, whose refrigerator [is
shown in the cut, writes us as follows:
"The refrigerator you installed In our place of business has been very satisfac-
tory In every particular. The flowers retain their freshness and color. The
refrigerator is ventilated in so satisfactory a manner that the glass is never
covered with moisture; conseauently the stock can be inspected without
opening the doors. The box is also economical In its requirement of ice."

The Bising Eastern Market. «.
March has come quiet as a lamb, with
sudden fierce changes to leonine severity
that pass almost as quickly. The market
is irregular, making it difficult of de-
scription. The crops of many flowers are
heavier than a week 'ago,- while business
is hardly so good, although there have
been excellent days. Good ; Beauties are
extremely scarce. The rose crops in gen-
eral are light, yet the shorts are often
unsold. White carnations are in brisk
demand at good prices, while the colored
varieties do not bring so much; this is
particularly true of Enchantress. . Violets
are in poor shape; not the flowers; they
are all right; but the call for them. An
expert believes that the fashion of wear-
ing artificial flowers has hurt the violet.
Sweet peas are in oversupply ; fine flow-
ers bring moderate prices, while poor
flowers often bring nothing. Valley is in
oversupply. Easter lilies have been hard
to market. Snapdragon has fallen in
price. Cattleyas are less plentiful, but
lack support. Gardenias have only a lim-
ited market just now. Daffodils are
firmer, with lighter receipts of fine stock.
Good tulips, such as Le Matador, Cou-
ronne d'Or, Murillo and Lord Rosebery,
are in demand, but the ordinary variety
lacks support. White lilac has been sell-
ing fairly well. Daisies and pansies are
good stock most of the time. Shipping
is not so heavy as it has been.

branches of the profession in the adver-
tising experiment that has been carried
on lately by William A. Leonard, of
Lansdowne, Pa Mr. Leonard has been
advertising liis roses in a local evening
paper, ofl'ering to send fresh flowers cut
from his own greenhouses by parcel post
at a price lower, grade for grade, than
the same roses bring in the stores. This
is believed to be the first effort of its
kind made in this city and its success
will be watched with interest. At first
glance it seems like an attempt to kill
the goose that lays the golden egg. Ex-
actly how the stores can continue to pay
good prices in face of such competition
is difficult to see.
Craig's at Easter.
The modern plant of the Robert
Craig Co., at Norwood, is an important
factor in the production of high grade
Piaster plants. Today they have a num-
ber of houses devoted to some of the
finest stock that has been seen here.
I have never seen so much fine Easter
blooming stock in one place. There
are three houses of unusual promise.
The first is filled with roses, Tausend-
schon, Juniata, Hiawatha and a few
other roses. They have been grown in
a low temperature. They are well
budded and the picture of rose vigor.
The second house is filled with gigan-

few of the pink. T^e golden genista
is better, the experts^agree, than in past
seasons, while rhododendrons are liber-
ally covered with big buds. Perns and
foliage plants, with the less important
flowering plants, complete the varied
stock. The Easter bustle is already
beginning. Loads of plants are going
out to the early buyers. Their places
are being taken by big loads of plants
from Norwood. The timing on all va-
rieties appears to be wonderfully ac-
curate. It looks today as though
nearly everything would bloom natu-

FLORISTS MEET AT AUSTIN.
We don 't know of any convention
that ever meets in this city, says an
.\ustin, Minn., newspaper, that is more
quiet than the W. B. Perry Florists'
Association. The Federated Women's
Clubs have their little differences, the
Convention of Charities and Correc-
tions had its trouble, the Ministerial
Association may have its friction, but
one couldn't conceive of a florists' con-
vention being other than quiet. The
florists' work lies with quiet nature,
the silent but wonderful manifestation
of plant life. When the florists' con-
vention convenes no bands are playing
a "Hot Time!" No marching bodies
with flags and ribbons meet the dele-
gates! The mayor never surrenders the
keys of the city. There are no ad-
dresses of welcome and no programs.
No papers are read, no learned discus-

These florists meet twice a year and
all of the florists of southern Minne-
sota and northern Iowa are members.
About fifteen years ago W. B. Perry, a
florist of Cresco, invited all his brother
florists and their ladies to his place for
a social time. Then was organized the
association which has met twice a year
ever since. The convention lasts three
days and the only real set business is
the election of a president and secretary.

the florist of the place of meeting does
all the entertaining. This association
has met here before, the last time being
four years ago.
A. N. Kinsman is entertaining the as-
sociation at its winter meeting, those
present being W. B. Perry, of Cresco;
W. T. Symonds, Decorah; John Mur-
phy, Independence; Walter S. Hall,
Osage; Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Wetherby,
of Charles City; Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
Clausen, and P. Clausen, of Albert Lea,
and 0. J. Olson, of the firm of Holm &
Olson, of St. Paul.
These florists always have a good
time and never miss a convention if
thev can help it. There is sociability
all 'the time. The delegates wander
around the greenhouses looking for
faults, with both eyes open for any
new wrinkles in the business. They
talk about red bugs, green worms, white
microbes and black fungi. The whole
range of plant life as found in the
greenhouses finds a place on the un-
written • program of subjects. It is
a practical convention and one that
never has a trace of unpleasantness and
never leaves a thorn scratch when it is
over.
ST. LOUIS.
The Southwestern Market.
The market reports for the last week
in February are that everything in sea-
son was quite plentiful. The rose ship-
pers are again on crop in all varieties;
roses were again so that orders for both
local and outside could be filled in full,
with easier prices. Fancy long Beauties
are scarce, but there seems to be plenty
of the lower grades, especially short-
stemmed. The bulk of the stock is
Killarney.
The great glut during the week was
in violets and sweet peas. In large lots
the price was $2 per thousand, with the
lower grades even cheaper. The sup-
ply of carnations also was large and the
five wholesale markets were well
stocked every day during the week, and
at reasonable prices all through. The
varieties most in demand are White
Wonder, Enchantress in all colors. Bea-
con and Washington. The bulk of this
stock is being consigned by the Kirk-
wood growers.
There is also a fine supply of bulbous
stock. Tulips are among the best in

' E. W. Guy, of Belleville, spent March
,3 in St. Louis and left at night for
Peoria, to attend the meeting of the
Illinois State Florists' Association.
Chas. Young, of the C. Young & Sons
Co., spent two days in Chicago last
week buying up Beauties for a big job
they have this week. He says he got
what he wanted, and had a good time
besides.
A. Jablonsky, at Olivette, Mo., ac-
cording to those who visited his place,
has the finest Easter liligg, gver seen
there, just right for EasCerT
Chas. Kuehn was confined to his home
with the grip last week, ^put every-
thing was run in good shape by George
Schreifer, A. Mayer and Chas. Kuehn,
Jr.
The Bentzen Floral Co. has outgrown
the old automobile delivery and is out
with a new truck, which Mr. Bentzen
is trying to master, but the chances are
that the junior will be at the wheel by
the end of the week.
The Brix Floral Co., on St. Louis ave-
nue, reports an unusual quantity of
funeral work all last week, mostly large
designs.
The C. Young & Sons Co. has the
decoration for the spring opening of
the Vandervort department store this
week, in which nearly 1,000 Beauties
will be used. The big force of men
started the work Saturday night,
March 1.
A state board of forestry is to be
created at the state capitol this week,
according to Senator Cassidy, of St.
Louis. This board is to appoint a state

ernor appoints the new board.

THIS department for the cards of Lead-
ing Retail Florists— those florists
who have the facilities for filling the
orders sent them by other florists— has
made possible, the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a
branch of the trade now established for
all time and so helpful that its volume
will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? You can send your
share (and make 20 per cent profit with-
out effort) if you let your customers
know you' can perform this service for
them. To receive your share— well, The
Review's department for Retailers' cards
remains Jthe one way of getting prompt
action on the order in hand.
To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is for

Gentlemen:
During the past year I paid you $18.20 for a
half inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department
of The Review, T received through thio small advertisement,
from January 1, 1913, to December 31, 1913, orders to the
amount of $566.00. They came by mail and telegraph from
New York to San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis.
Since T allowed the senders 30^, the record is as follows:
Total value of orders $566,00
Less soft allowed senders 113.20
Net value of orders. : . 453.80
Here is an addition of $453.80 in business which
could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of
only $18.30.
Since my advertisement appeared only in The Review
it goes to show what the retail florists through the country
lose if they do not use this medium of advertising. It also
goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big "R'
but that it has three more big "R's" - Readers - Reliability -
Results!
Yours respectfully.

BOSTON.
The Market.
Business was poor all last week. Sat-
urday showed a somewhat better clean
up, but trade on the last day of the
week is generally good. Eoses are more
abundant and have dropped considera-
bly in price. Long-stemmed Beauties
are scarce, but there is a surplus of
short-stemmed stock. Cardinal, Russell,
Ward, Sunburst, Taft and Hillingdon
are favorites. There is a greater pro-
portion of short-stemmed stock of these,
as well as Killarneys and Richmonds,
arriving. Last week was a poor one for
roses. Carnations are now going off
crop with some growers and this may
relieve the present glut. A few fancies,
such as Rosette and Benora, reach $4,
but the general run goes at $1 and $2,
with select at $3. Violets are a per-
fect glut and are only cleared at low
prices. The color and quality are fine.
Sweet peas are abundant. Some
superb;- long-stemmed stock sells well,
but there are quantities of short-
stemmed flowers that are hard to move
at any price. Lilies and callas are
abundant. The former are mostly quoted
at 121^ cents per bud for Easter, in-
ferior stock being offered lower. Yellow
Marguerites are rather too plentiful.
Mrs. Sander is selling well, making $2
per hundred. Freesia is almost over.
Abuidantly prepared at
ail times.

Dutch bulbous stock is in heavy over-
supply, but is of fine quality. The pre-
vailing prices are not profitable for
growers.
Gardenias are rather more abundant.
Valley is of variable quality, a good
deal being inferior. Blue cornflowers,
wallflowers and English primroses are
popular. There is still an ample supply
of Cattleya Trianee. Some C. SchroedersB
are coming in. This latter variety,
however, is not popular here. The de-
mand for asparagus, smilaz and
adiantum is not good. Pot plant trade
is showing a decided impetus, and indi-
cations are that this will be more of a
plant Easter than ever before.
Various Notes.
The Mishawum Flower Co., of
Wobum, has 5,000 Easter lilies in prime
condition. The azaleas and rambler
roses are also good. This concern is a
heavy shipper of single violets to the
Boston Cooperative Market.

two days later.

said.
A call at the seed stores last week
showed all to be busy. The unusually

The spring show of the Massachusetts

The Market.
Business has been good for the last
few days, as the coming of the suffra-
gettes and the other inaugural visitors
has made the demand for cut flowers
quite satisfactory. Violets, sweet peas,
gardenias and orchids lead in popu-
larity, though the falsers are handling a
large amount of the calls for the vio-
lets and sweet peas. Dinner decora-
tions, however, are not as plentiful as
could be desired, though there are a
few good orders to be had. Funeral
work has been exceptionally heavy.
Various Notes.
John H. Small & Sons furnished the
flowers and other decorations which
graced the rooms of President Wilson
and Vice-president Marshall at the

dozen special American Beauty roses

bearing about 3,000 blossoms. Some of
the blossoms measured ten inches
across. The hybridizing was accom-
plished with thirteen crossings of par-
ent plants. No attempt at definite
classification will be made until the
persistence of acquired traits is demon-
strated.
Robert Bowdler has opened his new
store at Fourteenth and I streets, N. W.,
in the room that was occupied by
George C. Shaffer prior to his moving
across the street. The interior and
exterior of the store have been painted
white and numerous improvements have
been made, including the installation
of electric lights. For the present, at
least, Mr. Bowdler will not keep open
on Sundays and will thus be one of the
few exceptions.
Charles Wernig, of York, Pa., was
in. town last week, showing his new
Primula Gertrude, a clear, vigorous
growing primrose, bearing, when in per-
fection, twenty-five to forty bunches per

cate pink shade, measuring two and one-
fourth inches in diameter.

prominent in inaugural affairs. Both
gentlemen were members of half a doz-
en different committees of importance,
and, unlike the usual run of committee-
men, they took an active part in all
the work. As chairman of the illumi-
nation committee, Mr. Gude deserves
credit for the magnificence of the ap-
pearance of the Court of Honor, where
President Wilson reviewed the parade.
Mr. Small furnished the American
Beauty roses and other flowers which
graced the presidential section, and C.
H. Merryman furnished the countless
number of cedar trees which banked

Mcrrtary-TreaBorer. C. B. Keodel. CleTvIand, O.
A lAWN grass that will kill weeds is
a brand much sought for.
F. H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, New
York, is on a western trip.
In all branches of the seed trade quick
action is in vogue; even the onion set
people now are hustling.
We cannot too highly recommend the
assistant who is always healthy, espe-
cially in the busy season.
The wise market gardener is buying
his usual quantity of seed, regardless of
the present price of produce.
The L. C. Brown Seed House, of La
Grange, 111., is planning to open a
branch establishment at Kankakee, 111.
It is the opinion of the average buyer
that good seed is the kind that will make
a prize-winning crop, no matter how
planted.
The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, is
platting a portion of the property on
which its greenhouses stand and will put
about forty lots on the market.
James A. Hovey, for several years in
charge of the seed department of the
George A. Weaver Co., Newport, E. I.,
died at Newton Highlands, Mass., last
week.
The Atlantic Seed Co., Augusta, Me.,
has been incorporated, with $30,000 cap-
ital stock. The promoters are G. J.
Lange, of Eau Claire, Wis., and L. J.
Coleman and E. S. Buzzell, of Augusta.
The Standard Seed and Soil In-
oculation Co., of Troy, N. Y., re-
cently was incorporated. The di-
rectors are John E. McDonald, 1913
Sixth avenue, Watervliet; Isabel Kelly,
2162 Fourteenth street, and Pierc«
Bailey, Springside, Burden avenue, Troy.
The company is capitalized at $1,000.
Mail orders in February have, accord-
ing to reports, been good, but not many
records have been broken. The princi-
pal increases have been made by the com-
paratively new houses in the south and
west. The older houses in the east still
are growing steadily, but they are more
conservative. The weather in February
was so mild that it not only helped to a
good mail business, but in some sections
started the counter trade stronger than
usual.
Foe some time of late the weather has
been seasonable in nearly all sections.
The rush occasioned by the preceding
mild weather has let up, giving a chance
to keep up with the orders from sections
that must have seed at once or lose out.
All standards seem to be in fair supply,
except Fordhook lima and a few other
important sorts of beans. There is a
long season yet, however, and the plan
this year, more than ever, seems to be to
hold off until absolute necessity compels
a purchase; there may be, therefore, a
scramble for some things yet.
"OFF AO'IN, ON AO'IN."
The eongressional struggle over free
seeds reminds one of the well-known
story of Finnigan. It will be recalled
that this celebrated Irish railroader
THE COST OF FREE SEEDS
IN response to a resolution of the Senate, Secretary Wilson has furnished the
figures covering the cost of the congressional free seeds for the last four
years. It totals $1,110,933. The cost of purchasing seeds and plaijts includes the
purchase price, freight and drayage, inspection of growing crops, office salaries, j
equipment and supplies; the cost of preparing the seeds for distribution and
delivery to the mails includes rent, cost of equipment and repairs, labor, bags,
boxes, paper, twine, hauling, etc. The figures, which do not include the cost of
carrying in the mails, are as follows:

was taken to task for using up so much
perfectly good paper in his reports of
his numerous derailments, so the next
time the report came in laconically:
"Off ag'in, On ag'in, Gone ag'in,
Finnigin. " The free seeds appropria-
tion might well be reported in the same
words.
In the <irst place there was an effort
in committee looking to the omission
of the appropriation,- but it failed.
Then, when the appropriation bill was
presented in the House, an effort was
made against the free seeds appropria-
tion, possibly a little stronger effort
than last year, but still unavailing.
Then the bill went to the Senate. Be-
for the Senate committee the argument
against the appropriation for seeds pro-
duced no effect, but when the bill was
up for consideration February 27, much
to everyone's surprise, the Senate voted
to cut out the congressional free seeds,
inserting a paragraph which permitted
the Secretary of Agriculture to try
out new varieties and to distribute them
for experimental purposes, but made no
provision for the regular free seeds
distribution. Then the appropriation
bill went to the conference committee.
The free seeds were put back in it.
Both houses concurred and President
Taft signed. So it is "off ag'in, on
ag'in, gone ag'in," for another year.
THE FBEE SEEDS.
A strong appeal for the discontinu-
ance of the congressional free seed dis-
tribution was recently made by Kepre-
sentative Robert M. Page, of North
Carolina, before the House Committee
on Agriculture. For several years Mr.
Page has opposed on the floor the ap-
propriation for the free distribution of
ordinary seeds, and he asked the com-
mittee to eliminate the appropriation
from the bill in the first instance, but
the committee did not follow his re-
quest. Mr. Page said that every farm-
ers' organization in the country com-
mended him for his effort last year to
lop off the free seed farce. These or-
ganizations declared it was simply a
waste of public money and that the
agriculturists of the country cared
nothing for the seeds, as they did not
use them, "I have for ten years in
Congress opposed this distribution," he

declared. He denied that he opposed
the distribution in the interest of the
seed trade, saying he had never had
any correspondence with anybody con-
nected with that trade. "The only peo-
ple to whom any motive personal to
themselves might be imputed are the
editors of agricultural papers," Mr.
Page continued. "I can see that they
might have a personal interest in the
opposition because of the fact that they
have a certain income from the adver-
tising of seed producers. They almost
as a whole oppose this appropriation.
Most of them editorially have com-
mended the effort I have made to dis-
continue the appropriation.
"And personal observation — one of
the reasons for my opposition is the
worthlessness, practically, of these
seeds, which I think can be demon-
strated to any gentleman who will take
the trouble to make a little inquiry.
Personal observation, or, rather, con-
currence, was brought to my attention
within the last few months by a gen-
tleman who happens to live in my own
district. A large industry is carried on
in certain sections of this country in
the cultivation and sale of the Rocky
Ford cantaloupe. It is a native of the
high altitudes of Colorado and grows to
greater perfection there than elsewhere.
"I happened to have an enterprising
constituent who owns a farm in Colo-
rado, on which he raises the Rocky
Ford seed. He is an authority in this
country on the cultivation and the rais-
ing of this particular fruit. I have his
word that the government contract let
for the Rocky Ford seed which the De-
partment of Agriculture was going to
distribute was given to a firm of Jews
in the state of Colorado, whose name I
do not recall at the present time, on a
competitive-bid price. That he himself
saw the employees of these people, who
had been the successful bidders to the
government, going into the cantaloupe
fields of Colorado from which the
salable, perfect fruit had been gathered
and sold, taking the refuse that the
farmer had left, to secure the seed that
they sold the government under the
contract that they took; and this hap-
pened last year. He says they are abso-
lutely worthless, and I believe he knows
what he is talking about.
"Personally and in the interest of
the people of the country, I do not
think we are warranted, that the com-
mittee is warranted, or that Congress
is warranted, in appropriating a dollar
of money for a useless purpose; and my
thorough conviction is that this sum,
amounting practically to $300,000, that

PITTSBURGH.
The Market.
* Trade among the wholesalers was
highly satisfactory during the month
of February. Stock of all kinds was
good and there was enough of every-
thing to supply all demands, except in
roses and Beauties. Boses, however,
are getting more plentiful and of bet-
ter quality every day, with a good
outlook for Easter stock.
All the retailers are carrying a fine
assortment of blooming plants, which,
with the forced shrubbery so much in
use at this time, enable them to make
fine displays. Now that nearly all
baskets are made with pans that can be
filled with water, there is an unusual
display of arranged baskets on exhibi-
tion in many of the stores, and pur-
chasers are encouraged to buy baskets
of all sizes. This makes a demand for
a much greater variety of flowers than
in former years, and in the case of
debutantes one finds many more bas-
kets than bunches, which was not true
in former years. Even in funeral work
certain flowers are used — and most ar-
tistically, too — which would not have
been thought of a few years ago; such
flowers, for instance, as daffodils, red
tulips and, in fact, anything that looks
like a flower. Nothing is objected to
when arranged so that it is artistic
and pretty. Of course, there are some
who make awful conglomerations, but
they should not be classed with the real
artists in the business. And there
never was a time when it was so neces-
sary for a cut flower worker to know
his business as just now.
Various Notes.
Bandolph & McClements have had
some unusually pretty effects in bloom-
ing plants arranged in baskets, but
nothing more striking than a single
specimen Adiantum Farleyense in a
basket, with an appropriate ribbon.
G. P. Weaklen & Co. have in the rear
of their store a conservatory which is
really a part of the store, and which
is ablaze with blooming plants of all
kinds. And, judging from the number
of plants wrapped for delivery, one
would say that the extra efforts are
not in vain.
Mrs. E. A. "Williams, who takes pride
in the artistic effects which can be pro-
duced in a small room, makes frequent
changes in the character of the plants
used in her window and store, present-
ing at one time some fine color effects
in foliage plants, and at another time
using blooming plants with cut flowers
and other effects to harmonize. This
can only be done by the true artist
and it shows the advances being made
in the profession.
The A. W. Smith Co., with its im-
mense room, at this season keeps one
man busy looking after decorative ef-
fects for the windows, one of which is
nearly always an orchid window of
some kind, besides arranging the
groups of foliage and blooming plants

The Market.
There is an abundance of all kinds
of flowers, but there has been no glut.
Business has kept up well, in spite of
Lent, and there has been a great deal
of funeral work. Bulbous stock is
most plentiful and Dutch hyacinths are
coming into the market in great quan-
tities. The trade expected a big in-
crease in business last week, because
of the hardware convention in the new
city hall auditorium, but the extra work
for the convention proved to be of
little consequence. Flowering plants
are moving at a lively pace.

L. D. Robinson reports that his
azaleas and bulbous stock will be in

The Florists' Review
March 6, 1913.
My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON
is a money-maker, being a grand variety iadoors and out. Aside from a possible
sport, it has never varied from the soft, silvery pink which is best in full sunshine,
making it an ideal bedder. Plants like cut can be grown in three months, which, in
2^ or 3^-in. pots, will make double the money that geraniums or any other bedding
plant will, from the fact that you can grow 16 plants to the square foot in 2^-in. pots and 9 plants In
i>^-in. pots. Use pencil and flgUTe profit at 75c to $L.5u per dozen. It requires 9 montbb for guranlums
to do half so well, and a year of good growing for carnations and many other plants to equal it.
Clean up a comer anywhere and All with SILVER PINK. You can't keep it from growing.
Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 600 seeds; 8 packets, |2.50, delirered.
Can still supply plants for MEhORIAL DAY flowering at $4.00 per 100. $35.00 per 1000, by express.

BLOSSOM-END BOT.
Can you tell me what my outdoor
tomatoes suffered from last season? A
small black spot started at the eye and
spread all over the fruit. It was a
kind of black rot. I have been told
that it is caused by the decaying wood
in the soil. Can you say whether this
is correct, and what remedy would you
advise? W. D.
The trouble you have had on your
tomatoes is commonly called blossom-
end rot. Little is known of the cause
of this trouble, which affects plants
both under glass and outdoors. It is
worse outdoors during a spell of damp
weather. It seems to be superinduced
indoors by a too close and stuffy at-
mosphere and an overabundance of
moisture, both at the root and in the
atmosphere. Perfect cleanliness is neces-
sary, including whitewashing of the
walls, keeping floors and spaces below
benches clear of rubbish and removal
of dead or decaying foliage.
Avoid using the same soil again for

tomatoes when your fruit has been
badly affected. Do not save and sow
your own seed, but secure it from a dis-
tance, where climatic conditions are not
congenial to the disease in question.
Pick off and destroy spotted fruit as
fast as it appears. Keep a dry atmos-
phere and a night temperature of 60 to
65 degrees. Ventilate on all possible oc-
casions, always avoiding draughts. In
winter keep the plaots a little on the

BY DISBUDDING LILY
BULBS
in the fields in Japan about July
1st, when the buds are only half
developed, much of the strength
of the bulb is preserved. Horse-
shoe Brand Giganteum fields are
all disbudded at the proper time.
This means quite some work, for
it is not a light job to disbud be-
tween two and three million lily
plants. However, it is done be-
cause it makes the bulbs more
solid and compact, much stronger
and better able to stand the Cold
Storage strain, should it be re-
quired. This is likewise one of
the reasons why Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum have such a
good flowering capacity, as com-
pared with some other brands.

EVEBBLOOMING BABY BOSES.
What baby rose is good for commer-
cial use in the vicinity of San Fran-
cisco? The growers here are raising
Cecile Brunner mostly, but it is not of
much account in the winter season. Are
there some other everblooming baby
roses in the eastern markets? If so,
kindly inform us. S. M. & C.
There are several other varieties of
the true polyantha type, and many be-
longing to the ramblers and other less
flowering families. All of these are
small-blossomed, more or less clustered.
They are usually grown for a particu-
lar occasion and, after blooming, but
little more is expected of them for
several months. Cecile Brunner does
not come under that description, but,
when properly handled, will give blos-
soms all through the fall and winter
season. During the early spring and
summer it is flowered with great suc-
cess outdoors, where, though the foliage
may not be as delicate, the flowers will
be of better color and substance than
those produced under glass at the same
season. If the plants are properly
handled, yon will have no trouble in
getting quantities of blossoms at the
time when they are expected under
glass, and if a succession of plantings
is made they can be had at any time
desired.
While there are several other roses
of the same type as Cecile Brunner,
there are none up to this time of the
beautiful shade that has made this rose
so popular with flower buyers. There is
nothing that can be found to duplicate
it; when the cultural requirements are
complied with, it will probably be
found perfectly satisfactory. G.
CUTTmOS DO NOT BOOT.
Perhaps you can tell me why my rose
cuttings will not root. We have what
we consider a good propagating house.
It is on the north side of the range and
is 12x125 feet, with a height of fourteen
feet from walk to ridge. We have two
concrete benches, six inches deep. The
framework is solid, with 1-inch drainage
holes about ten inches apart. We have
bricks on top of the concrete. The wood
for cuttings is selected. The only cut-
tings that root are Chatenays, of which
we get about fifty per cent. The otliers
look well for two or three Weeks. They
make an unusually large callus, but
about half of them drop their leaves
and the rest of them will not root. The
sand heat is from 65 to 70 degrees; the
top heat, 60 degrees. We do not fire
in the daytime, as we get lots of sun-
shine here, in southern California. We
also have heavy shade on the house.
We have no trouble in rooting carna-
tions on the north bench of the same
house. Our sand is the best river sand.
We use well water and it has some
alkali in it. A. E.
The usual causes of a large callus and
slow rooting' in rose cuttings are too
much moisture in the sand and too little
bottom heat. There should be at least
ten degrees of difference between the
top and bottom heat. The cuttings
should be lightly sprayed overhead, not
heavily watered, especially late in the
rooting process. When first inserted,
the cuttings should be thoroughly wet.
It may also be that your wood was too
old and hard, as such cuttings often
suffer in the manner described.

LOS ANGELES, OAL.
The Market.
Plenty of stock and good business
form a combination satisfactory to all,
and this is the state of affairs here.
The shortest item is good indoor roses.
Beauties are fair. There is plenty of
bulbous stock, including yellow daffo-
dils, Paper White narcissi, tulips in
variety, Dutch and Eoman hyacinths.
Carnations are arriving in quantity;
so, also, are violets. A few pans of
hyacinths are seen around the stores.
but the majority are poor and short in
the stem.
Forced plants of Wistaria Sinensis
and its white variety provide a cheap
method of making an excellent show,
for they are singularly pretty and
graceful. Azalea amoena is well
flowered and popular, giving satisfac-
tion to customers owing to its long
lasting qualities. Indian azaleas are
scarce and only of moderate quality.
Easter lilies, both cut and in pots, are
selling well. The demand for mag-
nolia, stimulated by the recent short-
age in flowers, seems to keep up even
now, when flowers are plentiful. Good
cattleyas have been on the scarce side,
but phalsenopsis and a few others are
plentiful. Valley is equal to the de-
mand, which has been large.
A heavy rain occurred here February
23 and 24, over seven inches being
precipitated. The soil was moderately
moist before the rain came; hence not so

THE NOVELTY
OF THE SEASON
"RAMONA"
THE NEW RED
CHEROKEE ROSE
/-T-\HIS sensational and magnificent new climbing
I rose occurred as a sport from the well-known
■^ Pink Cherokee (Rosa Sinica, var. Anemone).
It is a stronger and more rampant grower than its
parent, and produces during the spring and early
summer months flowers in such profusion as to entirely
cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop
of bloom. The flowers are much larger than either
the pibk or white forms, with brilliant golden-yellow
stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crim-
son color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and
effective; the foliage is absolutely mildew- proof, a
rich, glossy green, so bright that it appears as though
varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertise-
ment in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms
and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty stronger
than mere words.
The original sport occurred on the nurseries of
Messrs. Dieterich & Turner, at Montebello, California.
They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated
over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we
acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our
faith in its value, and its coming popularity is attested
by the fact that we have already booked orders for
many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are
safe in stating that "RAMONA" will have the largest
first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the
American trade.
"RAMONA"
will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern,
Gulf and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For
planting on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect;
in addition, it makes an elegant hedee plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a
relief from the stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color.
We are offering plants of "Ramona" at the following prices, cash with order:
In lots less tlian one hundred: From 2-incIi pots, 85 cents eacb. $3.50 per dozen; from 8-incli pots, 50
cents eaob, $5.00 per dozen; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen.
In lots of one himdred to five hundred: From 2-inch pots, $20.00 per one hvuidred; from 8-inch pots,
$30.00; from 5-inoh pots, $60.00.
In lots of five hiuidred to one thousand: From 2-inoh pots, $125.00 per thousand; from 8-inch pots,
$150.00 per thousand.
[^"Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored plate shown in the Review
of February 20th, at the rate of 13.60 per hundred, $30.00 per thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

Various Notes.
The opening of the First National
Bank's new building, at Seventh and
Spring streets, was the occasion of a
great deal of stock being sold. There
were many grand designs, including a
$100 horseshoe by the Boserie. Morris
Goldenson supplied 1,000 bunches of
violets for one order, a pretty large one
for a retailer.

A recent decoration by the Freeman-

PASADENA, OAL.
Extremely heavy rainfall is causing
general rejoicing among the members
of the Pasadena Horticultural Associa*
tion, as well as farmers, citrus fruit
growers and other horticulturists and
agriculturists in southern California.
The Pasadena association is particu-
larly pleased because of the annual
spring flower show scheduled for
April 10 to 12, at the Hotel Maryland.
Although this is an association of ama-
teurs and private gardeners, the com-
mercial growers and florists always
come to the fore with large, creditable
exhibits, and the shows attract much
att^tion from the general public.
Announcement is made that the store
formerly known as Kempton's Flower
Shop, 190 West Colorado street, will be
conducted in future as the Bogers
Flower Shop. Owing to plans for the
building of a large garage where the
shop now stands, the latter is to be
removed to the next lot west. Work
on the change is in progress and the
Misses Eogers hope to be permanently
settled in the new location within the
next few weeks.
Burglars entered the Campbell Seed
Store, 148 West Colorado street, Febru-
ary 24, but all they obtained for their
trouble was $3.50. This was all that
had been left in the cash register and
the prowlers apparently cared for
nothing but cash. Entrance was ob-
tained through the rear door, which
had been nailed shut and proved easy
to force. A. C. B.
PORTLAND, ORE.
The Market.
Business is holding up remarkably
well. A good call for funeral work is
what helps out the situation. With the
lengthening of the days and the in-
-crease of sunshine, flowers are becom-
ing more plentiful. Carnations are al-
most a deluge, but, with good manage-
ment, the stock is kept pretty well
■cleaned up. Roses are rapidly improv-
ing; Brides, Maids, Killarneys and
Richmonds are the leading varieties.
Violets are in oversupply; hence there
is a decline in prices. Valley and or-
<jhids move well, with the standard of
prices maintained.
Spring flowers are abundant. Daffo-
dils prove the best sellers; yet there is
a good call for freesias and tulips.

The Market.
Flowers continue overabundant and
business continues at rather a low ebb,
although in comparison with that of
one year ago it is a trifle ahead, which
IS somewhat encouraging. Bulbous
stock is now at its best. Never have
daffodils or the various kinds of nar-
cissi made a bigger showing than in
the last two weeks. They are our most
popular flowers at present, but, owing
to the favorable weather conditions,
they are produced in much larger quan-
tities than are needed. Apparently,
this is not the case with tulips. A few
of our larger growers did not plant tu-
lips as heavily this year as formerly,
and they are not in such heavy supply.
Still, there are plenty for all require-
ments.
Roses and carnations are plentiful
and cheap. Valley is not in oversup-
ply. Freesias are scarcer. Japanese
lilies are bought up well. Violets are
not quite as much of a drug as they
were, but are in good supply. Sweet
peas are cheaper. Adiantums and other
greens are easier. From all accounts,
there will be plenty of material for
Easter.

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
Enclosed find check for $1.80 and
many thanks. The best results from any
$1.80 I ever spent. It brought me orders
from the lakes to the gulf and east to
New York state. There is no salesman

D. M. Andrews, Boulder, Colo., has
published an excellent vest-pocket mon-
ograph entitled "The Planting and Care
of Street Trees in Colorado." It in-
cludes a classified descriptive list of
recommended varieties.
The nursery firm of Peyton & Barnes,
at Boonville, Mo., has been dissolved by
mutual consent. Mr. Barnes retains the
old firm name, Boonville Nurseries, and
is planning to have even better facilities
than formerly for the transaction of busi-
ness. Mr. Peyton is understood to have
taken over three-fourths of the growing
nursery stock and a large part of the
propagating equipment, and has organ-
ized the firm of T. E. Peyton & Sons,
whose establishment will bear the name,
Pevton Nurseries.
WILL RETURN DUTIES.
In response to an inquiry from the
collector of customs at Boston the Sec-
retary of the Treasury has written:
"I have to state that the duties de-
posited on nursery stock, etc., found to
be in violation of the plant-quarantine
act of August 20, 1912, and the regula-
tions thereunder in T. D. 33071 of
.lanuary 8, 1913, and exported or de-
stroyed, may be refunded from 'Excess
of Deposits ' upon proper evidence of
exportation or destruction.
"Such exportation shall be under
customs supervision. Evidence of de-
struction shall be in the form of a
certificate of a customs officer or of a
representative of the Department of
Agriculture. The certificate should
specify the kind and amount of stock
so destroyed, the number of the permit
of the Department of Agriculture, and
the name of the importer. A certifi-
cate of a state department of agricul-
ture to the fact of destruction may be
accepted when verified by a representa-
tive of the United States Department
of Agriculture."
NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION.
The election of a new board of officers
and tlie appointment of a committee to
give publicity to the fact that New Eng-
land, and particularly Massachusetts, is
not the hotbed of insect pests and that
the six states form a most desirable sec-
tion of the country for the purchase of
nursery stock, formed the chief business
at the session of the New England Nur-
serymen 's Association at Worcester,

'I'ljis entire lot of splendid plants of Sli-
ver Pink snapdragon at a small price.
Shipment March 10, when they will be
sturdy plants with 2 to 6 branches. They
are offered at a bargain because we can
afford it. We will have used this bench
space three times In one year and can make
the low price with still a good margin of
profit. The price is only
$3.00 PER 100, TWO HUNDRED FOR
?5.00,
cash, by express. These plants will make
strong stock in 3% and 4-ln. pots for early
bedding sales, and should sell more readily
and make you more money than any bed-
ding plant. We have been short of stock
for two seasons and have had so many ad-
vance orders and inquiries that we cut our
geranium stock in half. The only adver-
tising done was a bed of Silver Pink In our
)iome grounds.
Snapdragon is destined to become as
popular and profitable for bedding as it now
is under glass. Get in line and pick up
some of the easy dollars and a lot of new
customers. Use these plants to show blos-
soms and sow seed for 2% -in. stock. See
my smaller display ad. for figures. Price
of seed, my own growing, $1.00 per pkt. ot

was held to be unconstitutional and un-
workable by the legislative committee
of the Eastern Nurserymen 's Associa-
tion.
Among other clauses are three pro-
viding that every firm selling fruit-
bearing trees shall affix to each tree a
variety tag, that every sale shall be
made under a written contract and that
a penalty of $5 for each tree not up to
contract specifications may be recovered
in civil action by the purchaser. The
last provision is regarded as ridiculous
by nurserymen. "The man outside the
state sells his product outright, receives
his money and the transaction is closed.
€an you imagine what chance a pur-
chaser would have five or ten years
later, when his trees get to fruit-bear-
ing age, to collect any money if the
trees didn't make good?" said Irving
Rouse. The farmer who buys twenty-

which firm sold him the worthless trees,
it was argued. Only the unscrupulous
farmer, the nurserymen think, would
benefit by that section of the bill. The
nurserymen question the validity of a'
law providing that error is punishable
by fine. The Vert bill, in setting aside
$5 remuneration, does not recognize un-
intentional mistake.

The Market.
The general run of trade is decidedly
slow, and were it not for a few of the
extras that happen occasionally, euch as
weddings, funeral work, etc., we would
not be able to speak favorably of busi-
ness. Perhaps, too, the lull in trade is
more noticeable on account of the plenti-
ful supply of stock in all lines. The
bright, warm weather has not only
brought an abundamt supply of cut flow-
ers and plants, but in some varieties
has caused a glut. Especially is this
true of the longiflorum lilies, while
others complain of carnations and roses.
In fact, the mild winter has been a
problem for the florists to solve, for it
is thought by some that a good portion
of the bulbous stock will come in a Ut-
ile too early for Easter.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Business has been fairly good, but
the demand for cut flowers has fallen
off to some extent during the last week.
Bulbous stock is plentiful, some of the
local florists offering daffodils and tu-
lips as a special March 1 at 35 cents
per dozen. Funeral orders are quite
heavy and all the florists seem to be
getting their share. Carnations and
sweet peas of choice quality are more
plentiful, but the supply of choice
roses is reported by some to be short.
Various Notes.
A. Ostermann reports business as be-
ing good, with orders for funeral work
heavy. His store is attractive.
The S, H. Moore Co. reports business
quite satisfactory. Funeral orders were
exceptionally heavy last week. Hya-
cinths and tulips in pots and pans are
selling well. The window was attrac-
tive with bulbous stock, specimen aza-
leas and ferns.
Champion & Co. had an attractive
window display of azaleas, choice cycla-

just right for Easter. His house of
lilies is coming along nicely, also two

tulips in pots and pans are grown in
large quantities for the store trade,
also thousands of these and daffodils
have just been brought in for the
Easter business. .Just at present there
is a house of Bicolor Victoria which are

presents a truly magnificent sight. Mr.
Munro says he finds no trouble in dis-
posing of these in the store. Roses,
principally "White Killarney and Kil-
larney, are grown in quantity here;
they are a little off crop at present, but
have every indication of being in heavy
crop around Easter.
W^m. H. Long has been quite busy
with funeral work; otherwise he reports
trade rather dull. He had an attrac-
tive window of bulbous stock, both cut
and in pots and pans, also choice roses,
carnations and sweet peas. M. B. F.

EVANSVILLE, IND.
Tremulus Bros., with headquarters in
Chicago and branch stores at Rockford
and Aurora, 111., have opened a store
at 305 Upper Second street. They had
their opening March 1 and the business
done was far ahead of the greatest ex-
pectations. Mr. Tremulus said it was
the greatest opening he ever had, the
sales amounting to over $200. They
gave away, as souvenirs, about 25,000
violets. The store is ideally located
near Main street and was crowded from
morning till night. They sold 7,000
carnations at 25 cents per dozen, fine,
long-stemmed roses at $1 per dozen,
jonquils and daffodils at 35 cents per
dozen, violets at 15 cents and 25 cents
per bunch, sweet peas at 15 cents and
25 cents per bunch. They had a few
plants, but not so many as they expect
to have later, when everything is ar-
ranged. A large ice-box has been built
in the store. A large front window
gives a good opportunity for making
displays. E. L. F.

wfll continue the business in his own
name. It is his intention to build a 40-

store and to make other improvements.

TYLEB, TEX.
Business has been splendid fojr the
last year and is still keeping up well,
but death has visited each of the three
florists within a little more than a year.
Mrs. Hill was called away in January,
1912. November 11, 1912, Frank
Hewitt passed into his rest, after a
painful illness. January 11, 1913,
James Whitten died. Mr. Whitten's
sister sold the business and retired.
Mrs. Hewitt, however, will continue
her business, and expects to build more
greenhouses in the coming summer.
Everything is looking promising.
We have had a mild winter so far, but
with much cloudy weather. I think
the lowest outside temperature was 16
degrees above zero, and that only once
this winter.
' I had written thus far, February
26, when I saw a storm coming and
soon it looked as if the greenhouses
and everything in them would be a
total wreck. It was the worst hail
storm we have had in years. About
200 panes of glass were broken in
Mrs. Frank Hewitt's greenhouses and
quite a number of plants were dam-
aged. It is impossible to say at pres-
ent what the damage to the fruit crop
will be, as the storm seemed to skip
some places. H.
SCRANTON, PA.
.7. B. MeClintock is finishing his latest
range in concrete. These are on the
tidge and furrow plan and considered
the best suited for bedding stock, which
is raised in great numbers. Judging by
the size of the excellent Easter stock,
Dig business is expected.
Our New Lobelia
MRS. AUQ. SWANSON
Named In honor of the wife of Mr.
Aug. Swanson, 23 years a florist in
St. Paul, now retired. This lobelia
is a sport from Bedding: Queen, which
we found among our seedlings in
1911. It Is a wonderful Improvement
on that best of lobelias. The flower
is exceedingly large and free bloom-
ing. It has % more white in it than
any other lobelia we have ever seen.
It is a plant we assure you will sell
better than any plant you have on
your place. We exhibited plants and
four vases of flowers at the St. Paul,
Minn., Show, Nov., 1912, and before
we could remove them next morning
after the show, every bit of the cut
stuff and four plants were stolen. So,
-' you see, they "like it all right. The
upper picture is Bedding Queen and the lower Mrs. Aug. Swanson. The cut is a photo
of two 3-in. pots, laid on the side. The large white eye does not show on the picture,
as deep blue and white never show up properly In a photo. Large plants with plenty
of cuttings on them, 75c per doz., $6.00 per 100, |.'>0.00 per 1000. Delivered free of charge.

This variegated carnation, sent out by Mr.
Peter Fisiier last season, is tlie finest varie-
gated variety, and one off tiie very best car-
nations off any coior, ever sent out.
It has immediately attained a commanding posi-
tion among the very choicest sorts, and will add to
Mr. Fisher's already enyiable list of introductions.
It is indispensable.
It is a very early and free bloomer, matures
quickly, making very perfect flowers of the largest
size on long stems; does not split the calyx.

The !Vfar«h weather is quite
" M archy, " with the wind blowing and
the temperature around zero. Business
is about the same as last week, with a
steady demand for pot plants and a
good many funerals, which keep the
stock moving. The next two Sundays
will find naost of the florists busy with
spring openings, and that means work
every Sunday until after Easter. We
all hope to see the day when florists
can rest on Sunday the same as other
people. There is no more reason for
florists working on Sunday than there
is for any other business men, and when
the florists can get together and elimi-
nate Sunday work it will be better for
all conceri^ed.
Various Notes.
The Bertermann Bros. Co. lias a fine
lot of fancy plants for Easter, and Mr,
Schreiber deserves a lot of praise for
liis efficient work. He delivers the
goods in fine condition and on time.
A. Wiegand 's Sons Co, 's stock is in
fine condition, and Mr. Hoffmann, Wie-
gand 's grower, deserves his share of
fredit. He knows his business.
The florists having motor car delivery
need not dread long transfers of flowers
now, for a new rule in effect at Crown
Hill makes it possible for lot owners
to obtain a permit to drive cars within
the gates,
Robert Fohl, formerly with the In-
dianapolis Flower & Plant Co,, has taken
a position with A, E, Nelson,

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME
|HE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessintr all the visor and freedom that dls-
lingulsh Its parent. Color a liKht salmon pink — a color that Is not only very attractive,
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without bleaching. A jrood all-round
Carnation that retains its color at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of the
parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown no inclination to be a burster. The
weak points of Enchantress ceem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four years'
duration convinces us of its great value.

The Florists^ Review
Mabch 6, 1913.
BUFFAIiO.
March opened like a lion. Jf previ-
ous experiences are any indication, we
stand some show of having a pleasant
Easter. The wind reached a velocity
of sixty-five miles an hour, with blind-
ing snow and cold. February on the
whole was not so cold, but the sun dis-
appeared in the latter part of the
month and the lilies did not move so
fast as we would have liked them to.
The lily situation will be about the
same as usual; perhaps they will be a
little scarcer. Azaleas will be short,
but the other stock seems to be in
about the usual supply. We all look
for a good Easter and, while business
leading up to it has not been wonder-
ful, we can not complain for the Lenten
season. Increased publicity has greatly
increased the sales of the last few
months and for Easter we look for an
increased amount of advertising, which
can not do otherwise than make the
season bigger and b'fetter than ever.
The bowling committee invited the
Rochester club to a night of bowling
and pleasure, which was returning the
compliment of a few weeks ago, and
the event was most pleasant. The Buf-
falo boys turned out in fine shape
and the able chairman, Joe Streit,
was a royal host. He was busy every
minute satisfying the wants of some-
one and we feel sure that no one can
say that he did not have a good time.
The Rochester boys were somewhat
handicapped by the absence of some
of the star bowlers and as a result
did not make the showing usually cred-
ited to their scores. Charles Sandiford
was high for the Buffalo team and Mr.
Boland for the Rochester side.
R. A. S.
The Corfu establishment of the Wm.
Scott Co. has been purchased by N. A.
Brown as an investment and leased to
his son-in-law, David Scott, who has
been the manager of the plant, which
consists of 45,000 feet of glass. Mr.
Scott will hereafter conduct the grow-
ing business at Corfu under his own
name, the greater part of the output
being sold, as heretofore, in the retail
store of the Wm. Scott Co.
Newton Falls, O.— C. E. Tinker is
greatly pleased with the last few
months' business. The volume of trade
was the heaviest since he started in
business here three years ago.
Barrlngton, HI. — F. W. Stott procured
some blank slides and writes his own
advertisements on them, to be thrown
on the screen at the local moving pic-
ture shows. He has found it a paying
advertisement.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.
OYSTEB BAY, N. Y.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Oyster Bay Horticultural Society was
held in the Board of Trade rooms
Februar}' 21. President Duthie occu-
pied the chair. The secretary read the
report of the dinner committee, which
proved to be most satisfactory. A
hearty vote of thanks was accorded the
committee, and also to Charles Both-
man for his splendid service.
On behalf of an anonymous donor,
the secretary was instructed to offer
a silver cup for the best collection of
peonies at the spring show; also $10
in gold as a second prize and $10 to
be devoted to school children's ex-
hibits.
Seven new members were enrolled
and two were elected.
W. D. Robertson, James Goldsmith
and John Sorosick acted as judges and
their decisions were as follows:
Primula malacoides from Frank Pe-
troccia, honorable mention; cucumbers
from Joseph Marmarole, honorable
mention; three pots hyacinths, Joseph
Robinson, cultural certificate; tour pots
Primula obconica, Frank Kyle, cultural
certificate; vase of lilies, A. Lahodney,
cultural certificate; 100 violets, A.
Walker, cultural certificate; three or-
chids, J. Ingram, honorable mention.
Joseph Robinson announced his in-
tention to give a gold medal to the
member gaining most first prizes at
the monthly competitions for 1913.
The exhibitors gave interesting talks
on their methods of growing the stock
exhibited. Floyd Blowers, of Westlook
Farm, read an interesting essay on out-
door grapes, and the society extended
to him a hearty vote of thanks.
The secretary, in behalf of the N. A.
Gr., distributed catalogues for the Inter-
national Show. The secretary was also
instructed to get all particulars about
the national bowling tournament and
report at next meeting.
The exhibits at the next meeting
will consist of one pot of Easter lilies,
three spikes of antirrhinum and three
heads of lettuce. J. T. I.

DETROIT.
The Market.
Business was brisk last week. Stock
was cleaned up well, with the exception,
perhaps, of lilies, valley and some of
the bulbous stock. The market is well
supplied with pans of tulips, daffodils
and hyacinths, and they move readily.
There appears to be a scarcity of large
azalea plants; those growers who have
some are apparently holding them over
for Eastec :«t\,C'«*t:
Various Notes.
\Vm. A. McAlpine, of Exeter, N. H.,
owner of the New England Rose Con-
servatories, spent a few days here last
week. He appears to like this part of
the country well.
Mr. Scharff, of Scharff Bros., Van
Wert, O., was a recent visitor at Thomas
Browne's establishment. He came here
to see the new carnation, Philadelphia,
growing, and was favorably impressed.
Mrs. Sylvester, mother of Albert Syl-
vester, died recently, and was buried
February 28.
Schroeter's Studebaker 20 was con-
siderably damaged in a collision with
another auto last week. Fortunately,
the driver, the sole occupant of Schroe-
ter's car, was not injured.
The committee, with Philip Breit-
meyer as chairman, that has taken up
the fight on behalf of all the users of
steam for heating greenhouses in Michi-
gan, against the two bills recently pre-
sented at Lansing, is sadly in need of
funds to pay attorneys' fees and other
incidental expenses, and will greatly ap-
preciate a check for $5 from any inter-
ested grower who has not already con-
tributed. Make the check payable to
Hugo Schroeter, 56 Broadway, Detroit,
who has this matter in charge.
Ed. Hampton, representing J. G.
Neidinger, was in town last week.
Mr. Maynard, manager of the Detroit
€ut Flower Supply House, is well pleaSed
with trade.
S. S. Skidelsky was in the city and
met with Fred Breitmeyer and Robert
Rahaley at the office of the Michigan
Cut Flower Exchange to formulate more
extensive plans for the handling of the
sales of Carnation Philadelphia, over
60,000 cuttings of which have already
been ordered. After viewing the plants
at Thomas Browne's houses, Mr. Skidel-
sky is so highly elated over the carna-
tion, and has so much confidence in it,
that all orders are booked with the
privilege of canceling them' should the
buyer be disappointed after having seen
the plants growing. H. S.
A GREENHOUSE without The Review

We are growing all our Kentias above 6-inch size in neat Cadar Tubfl, made especially for us, with electrte wire hoops, painted tcrm^n.
These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.
When in Philadelphia be sure to look us up.
We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine train service— fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all
■Isas, from 2^-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on Daooratlv* Palms, in 7-iDch, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single
plants), which we can supply in any Quantity. All our Palms are hoine*Bro^m (not an imported plant on the place) and well established
in the tubs. They are strong and healthy. .
With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is muob larger tlian aver bafor* and never in battar oondltloii.

JOSEPH HEACOCK CO.,
CINCINNATI.
The Gateway to the South.
The close of last week and the open-
ing of this one were excellent. The re-
ceipts were larger and sales sufficient to
take up almost everything offered.
March 3 there was a good increase in
prices on some lines and a tightening in
others. It would take more than a
fortune teller to predict as to whether or
not this state of affairs will continue.
From present indications it seems that
the market will be tight for some time
to come. However, it may be only
temporary, and extremely temporary at
that, as has happened many times since
the first day of the year.
The carnation cut is shortening con-
siderably, and this, combined with the
big demand, is making the carnation
market a good one. Eoses, too, are sell-
ing well. The good sweet peas find a
ready sale, while short stock must neces-
sarily be sold at a low figure. Bulbous
stock, both in small blooms and in
Easter lilies and callas, continues in a
more than sufficient supply. The first,
however, are generally of a much better
quality than a fortnight ago. Single
violets still enjoy a much better call
than doubles. The call for valley is
only ordinary. The green goods supply
is adequate.
Various Notes.
F. Ben George has opened a store at
3706 Eastern avenue, in the east end.
He has absolutely no direct competition
in that part of town.
C. E. Critchell has been getting in
fine lilies and tulips from J. A. Peterson
& Sons.
The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been getting in fine Killarney and
Eichmond from Bloomhurst, at Lock-
land.
Walter Butler, formerly of Chillicothe,
is opening a store on Madison avenue,
near Woodburn, in Walnut Hills. This
makes the fifth retail store in that im-
mediate neighborhood.
Last week C. E. Critchell and Fred
Gear were duly initiated into the Scot-
tish Eite. Mr. Critchell also went
through the Shrine.
E. G. Gillett has been finding little
trouble in selling the excellent single
violets from Geo. Hopp, of Grand Eap-
ids, Mich.

I can supply the very best carnation stock on
the market. What you need is not the cheapest
stuff you can buy but stock that will produce the
most and best flowers next fall and winter. I
use stock plants selected each year as the most
vigorous ones In the field, I grow them cool and
flower very little; all the vigor of the strongest
plants goes into the stock you buy from me.
This is my specialty. All stock is grown and
shipped under my own eye, I stand back of every
shipment that leaves my greenhouses, guarantee-
ing satisfaction absolutely.
Send for my list of varieties and prices, also
my special proposition to grow your stock on
until your field Is ready.

Greenhouse Heating.
Subscribers are invited to write the
editor of the Heating Department, de-
scribing their troubles or asking any
questions regarding the heating of green-
houses, the piping or boiler-room. But
please do not ask us to make a choice of
apparatus for you. Each boiler adver-
tised in The Eeview is a good boiler, and
the advertisers sell them on their merits.
FIBING WITH HAKD COAL.
Quite a number of florists in the
western part of Pennsylvania, Ohio and,
in fact, in all the states where soft coal
is used and yet near enough to obtain
hard coal, are making the change. Most
of them that make this change are hav-
ing difficulties because they do not un-
•ierstand firing with hard coal, for it is
vastly different from firing with soft
coal.
, Probably the same grate could . be
used if it was fine enough mesh to suit
the size of coal to be used, as the mesh
of the grate depends entirely on the
size of coal. If No. 1 buckwheat is used
a small mesh is necessary, while if egg
or grate coal is used a large mesh would
give better results. Some florists use
the patent grates; something on the
principle of the Dockash, of which a
number are in the market.
The common, double, straight-barred
grate is probably more generally used
than any other and is all right if you
know how to handle it, but to fire with
smaller size coal it is necessary to know
how to handle the fire; here lies the
whole secret. Below I will give the di-
rections how to fire with No. 1 buck-
wheat, which would apply to all the
smaller sizes, pea and probably chestnut,
and I do not know why it should not be
applied to the larger sizes. However,
we have never used the larger sizes in
the vicinity of Scranton for greenhouse
heating, as we have so much of the
smaller sizes here, and heretofore they
have been so cheap compared with the
large sizes, that we have always used
the small. If anyone will follow out
the following principles in firing he will
make no mistake, if the gratebar sur-
face is large enough to give the results.
To a thirty horse-power boiler the
grate surface should be 3%x5^ feet, a
bricked-in return tubular boiler. I will
start my instructions with a new fire,
which you would, of course, start with
wood, putting on coal a little at a time
until you get a bright fire from the coal.
It ought not to be more than two inches
thick at this time. When it burns up
brightly do not put on any more coal

until you see little white spots here and

more than four or five scoops until the
fire gets to be from eight to ten inches
thick, according to the weather condi-
tions.
Never touch this fire with the poker
until you clean down after it gets this
thickness. If you do touch it, thinking
you are going to improve it, you will
spoil your fire, as the fine ashes will fall
into the crevices kept open by your
draft; consequently your draft will be
choked and your fire of no account.
The way to break this fire down is as

up put on seven shovels of coal instead

spots come in; you want to catch it
with bright, live coals before the carbon
is burned out. Take an iron hoe and
pull these live coals from the back to
the front of the fire, not out, but jusC
at the front. Be careful not to pull up
the ashes; if you do you will get them
mixed with the live coals, which you
want to avoid. Then reach over the
back of this live coal into the dead
ashes and give them a quick jerk out of
the fire-box door. After the back of
the grate is cleaned off shove these live
coals back on the bare grate surface;
then proceed to pull the front ashes out.
Then scatter the live coals equally over
the grate surface; they would probably
he one and one-half to two inches thick
over the grate ; then sprinkle on a light
coating of coal, shut vour door and let
the drafts go full blast. You will soon
nave heat in abundance.

— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in
steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish— if your houses are not of uniform
temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per-
fectly— return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without
pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that
impulse — write now.

«old weather in the morning and then
repeat again towards evening. In
bright weather catch the benefit of the
afternoon sun, but in milder weather it
would not usually have to be done more
than once a day. By taking advantage
of the afternoon sun the houses will not
cool off so much while the fire is down a
little.
With soft coal, as I understand it, a
blaze is obtained in firing. It being full
of oils, it burns up something like wood.
With hard coal this must never be ex-
pected, for the best results will be ob-
tained when you get an effect as of an
incandescent light appearance, which
gires off an intense heat, and by the
light firing the carbon is' constantly
ignited and burns until the white spots
appear and the recoating is necessary.
These results can never be obtained by
heavy firing with hard coal; by heavy
firing I mean a large quantity of coal
on the grate at one time.
After a fireman has studied these con-
ditions he will readily fall into the
knack of firing in this way, which he
will find easy. G. R. Clark.

The Market.
Little change is to be noted in the
condition of business during the last
week, except that the holding back for
Easter becomes more apparent, although
there is a plentiful supply to meet all
demands. Prices are at the lowest ebb,
but at the same time superior stock
commands good figures. Funeral work
is active and numerous small home
functions call for enough cut flowers
to keep the stock well cleaned up. The
indications for Easter are quite prom-
ising, both as to supply and quality.

Market conditions, for the last week,
were much the same as for the one pre-
ceding. There was plenty of stock
in all lines and most of it kept moving
in pretty good shape. One large depart-

souvenirs all last week, which helped
to keep some of the less good stock
from accumulating at the wholesale
houses.

at Lorane, Ore., one of the pioneer
florists of this city, is that he is now

The Easter lilies at the Brown Deer

THE FERTILIZER
PROBLEM SOLVED
Practically every grower now finds that one of his chief problems Is an adequate supplj
flrst-class Fertilizer— the available quantity of barnyard manures is inadequate and street and
stable manures are poor, impure and of uncertain value, though expensive. Large growers
are meeting the need of a safe, sure, well-balanced fertilizer of unlimited supply by using
HINES TANKAGE
This fertilizer, used either in the compost or as a top-dressing, not only supplies the neces-
sary plant foods, but Improves tfie mechanical condition of the soil. Wherever it is tried it
becomes the standard fertilizer for cut flower, pot plant and vegetable growers. Here is the
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
NITROGEN, 2 to 3%; PHOSPHORIC ACID. 8 to 10%; POTASH. 3 te 4%

The Question of Wide Houses
THERE are certain proven out reasons why wide
nouses of reasonable wldths-tay 40 to 60 feet— are
more economical to build, easier to heat, give bet-
ter ventilation and jrrow better plants. But wide
houses must be built right, not only strong, but right.
We know how to build right. Have been doing it
for over a quarter of a century. We want to talk
with you about that house you intend building. We
will do it either by letter or by .coming to see you.

THE WAY WE FRAME OUR GABLES
GREENHOUSE construction company— not L. B. Co.— last fall
built for a Providence grower what he called "a sample house."
It was supposed to be something very fine. I saw the owner last
week. He was far from enthusiastic. He said some very forcible things
about that sample house— the kind of things we would feel very badly
to have said about one of ours. Among other things that "irritated"
him was the falling out of one gable and smashing all the glass. He
now has it propped up and braced so it looks like a scaffolding for a
concrete wall. Our gables are thoroughly iron-framed to start with;
then they aie securely bolted to the purlins in such a way that the
gable strain is distributed over the entire framework of the house.
There is a terrific suction pull on big gables that must be taken care of
beyond all doubt.
The secure way we frame gables is " a sample " of the way we
frame our entire house. How about trying one of our "samples"
thi» year? Drop us a postal.

If you contemplate painting your houses this year it will be well for you to
investigate the merits of
NY SPECIAL GREENHOUSE WHITE LEAD PAINT
which I use exclusively in the erection of the large ranges of glass that I erect on private
estates and public parks. I have increased my plant to take care of the demands made
upon me for this paint by florists in all parts of the country. The LUTTON reputation
for high-class material is back of this product. Send for a sample free of cost, and then
you will send your order. We also furnish materials for the complete erection of modem
Iron Frame Greenliouses. Some of the largest growers in the country will testify
to this fact.

materials from your company. The materials have always been entirely
eatlsf&btory, so that in ell of our businese dealings it has never been
naeesaary to infJce a claim apaihst you of any kind. Our business re-

irwlth estimates which you have Just submitted. Your prioes on material
oompare very favorably with other bidB received, but we would be more
*'^lian willing to pay a premium for your houses.
Our experience with Uoninger houses and our investigation of

Q. Do you recommend the semi-iron house?
A; '^ les, for it is a good house and when properly
: /; built it is a hard house to beat as a money
>;., maker. This is the type of house furnished
^ to Manke Bros., whose letter we show here.
: They now ha,ye nine houses and are building
two more tfai,s season, making eleyen in all.
Q. Some of your customers occasionally complain
about quality of materials-don't they?
A. It may seem odd, but in all the years we have
been making greenhouse woodwork, we have
- - never had any cypress material returned to
us on account of poor quality. This is really
remarkable ^hen you con&idpr the great num-
ber of houses we make every year.
Q. Do you cut^ces to fiTorite customers or for
advertising jwrposes?
A. No. If youlr are in Montana and you want
material fo|: ten houses, we would Quote you
the same price we would make any other flo-
rist on an order of the same size anywhere
in the U. S. In other words, we are doing
>\)usiness on -merit and we give every customer
-a square d^J^^, You will find it pleasant to do
business witli us, and you can be sure of
-^J receiving value for your money. The letter
' here published is one of a thousand proofs.

Ill quality and price it will be hard for you to find a better place to do your buying for Easter. We say this because we
know the conditions on the local market and do not hesitate in asserting our stock is the very highest grade and in connection
with the same our prices are even better. Service to our customers is our first consideration and we are constantly striving
to improve on the usual methods— no order is packed without personal inspection. Our Easter stock is complete and the sup-
ply large, but give us your order at once and get the best selection. We are strong on Easter Lilies.

(A Book Every Retailer Needs)
was published In response to many requests from
florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book that
could be used In taking orders for Funeral Designs,
Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Table Decora-
tions and all cut flower work where It was not prac-
ticable to show the customer the finished article as it
would be when ready for use. With this Album you
can show the finished work in beautifully printed pic-
tures. Everything is in it — all the standard designs
and many new and heretofore unpublished pieces.
96 pages, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beau-
tifully printed on heavy glazed paper, handsomely '•
bound in a cover that will stand wear. ;<

Some Simple Expedients for Easing the Pressure
While Increasing the Total of Easter Sales
[VERY business has its draw-
backs, and in the retail
flower trade the difficulties
are at least as numerous as
in other lines; but of all the
handicaps, none is greater
than the necessity of doing a whole
holiday's selling within a few hours.
It is characteristic that people put off
ordering flowers almost to the last mo-
ment. It is true of funeral flowers, of
gift flowers, and of almost all kinds of
flowers except, possibly, wedding flow-
ers and large decorations. Consequently,
any little increase in business means a
rush, and any little falling off in trade
means almost complete stagnation. With
the florist it is either a feast or a
famine.
The trade in general is so accustomed
to the short-notice, rush-order style of
business that with the majority no
effort is made to get orders early — the
retailers act as though they were sat-
isfied to take the business when they
can get it. But they don't talk that
way. One hears a lot of kicks about
there being nothing to do up to the last
day, and then a rush that cannot be
handled. It reminds one of the story
used by a florist who was arguing the
negative on the proposition that "satis-
fied ' ' and ' ' contented ' ' are synonymous
— of the same meaning. He. illustrated
the difference in meaning by stating that
he is satisfied that when he stays at the
store all the night before a holiday his
wife goes to the theater with an old-
time sweetheart — he is satisfied, but not
contented.
Those florists who are not contented
with the natural flow of Easter business
are finding several simple expedients
for easing the pressure while increasing
the volume of Easter sales.
A Limit on One Day's Sales.
There is a limit to what any man,
or set of men, can do in one business
<'ay — even though that day be stretched
from one morning to the next. When
the holiday trade is left to its natural
course, the last-day customers are so
numerous that they cannot be waited
on; every retailer has had the experi-
ence of seeing good people walk out
the door because they would not wait
for the clerks. And every retailer
knows that he gets the largest sales
out of the buyers who are ordering at
their leisuj^. In & crowd a buyer orders
what must be had, «nd lets it go at
that. If given time to look around, and
the attentions of a skillful salesman, a
much larger order is obtained. It is
extremely bad business to rush one's
customers.
If you were able to wait on only a
certain number of customers the Sat-
urday before Easter last year, and some
went out without getting attention, you
cannot possibly, with the same facili-
ties, increase your sales March 22 this
year; the only way you can do it is to
make some of the sales earlier. Friday
you had time. Probably Thursday there
was little doing, and Wednesday the
Rote Tausendschofu
clerks were idle. The plain evidence is
that the way to increase the business is
to sell earlier. Any number of retail-
ers will, when they stop to think of it,
admit that the reason the Easter busi-
ness does not gro^ faster is because it
is all crowded into one day.
How, then, are earlier orders to be
had! ' -
Those who have thought on the sub-
ject have found numerous ways. The
popularity of pot plants makes it easy
to decorate the store earlier than was
possible in the old days, when cut flow-
ers were principally used. The retailer
can just as well have his show present-
able the Monday before Easter as to
wait until Thursday. Of course it will
not be desirable to get in all the Easter
stock a full week ahead, but it is worth
the loss of a little material to get the
business started early.
Ways of Waking the Buyers.
With the plant display in place and
the store dressed up in its holiday at-
tire, customers will order freely if you
only can get them into the place. The
plant baskets are there as samples; the
customer is told that he will not receive
the identical basket he is looking at,
which is a sample, because it will be
past its best by Sunday, but that he
will receive one exactly like it. It
makes the plant selling easy. And cut
flowers are cut flowers any day. One
can as satisfaetorily take an order for
cut flowers on Monday as on Saturday
— as satisfactorily, that is, to the cus-
tomer.
So it gets down to being a problem of
getting the customers into the store.
Advertising Makes Things Possible.
Since retail florists have taken bold
of advertising they have found many
things possible which had not been con-
sidered possible before. The non-adver-
tising retailer cannot reach the buyers;
he must await their pleasure. But the
retailer who has learned that there is
profit in telling the story to the public
can put his facts before the buyers and
shape the trade more or less as he will.
As a general proposition, the Easter
advertising is too late. It serves only
to add to the rush at the last moment.
Those who have tried it have found
that the advertising is no doubt more
effective in the three days before Easter
than it is three days earlier; but what
is the use of bringing in customers
when you cannot satisfactorily wait on
them I Consequently, the retailers who
use newspaper space are now using it
earlier. They are using it to get the
early orders, knowing that the natural
run of business will keep them busy the
la^t few days. ' '- * •
One of {he most successful retailers
1^:^.:^ . .£4^^

The Florists' Review
Mabch 13, 1913.
has had printed a card to mail to his
regular customers March 15. It reads
to this efifect:
Getting the Regulars Early.
"In the few days before a holiday,
such as Easter, there is a large increase
in the transient trade. It therefore is
urged that my regular customers place
their Easter orders during the first part
of the week. During these days the
Easter display will be at its best, and
regular customers can be waited on
without being inconvenienced in their
selections by the presence of those who
buy flowers only at holidays. Easter
display ready Monday, March 17, 1913."
This retailer also will do his news-
paper advertising March 16 to 18. He
knows that by Thursday business will
begin naturally and that the rush will
increase from hour to hour until during
the shopping period of Saturday he will
not be able to wait on all the people
who enter the store.
Conditions Not Unchangeable.
This florist is not one of those who
believe conditions are unchangeable.
Too many act as though they thought
that what always has been must always
be; they seem to fear to undertake any
change from the routine of other years.
The day has passed when a florist
may prosper by simply sitting still and
waiting for business to come his way.
The great majority still make a living
with no greater effort, but the progress
and prosperity goes to those who have
adopted modern methods of merchandis-
ing. There are dozens of retailers
through the country who are forging to
the front in their communities through
the use of the same methods that are
employed in other lines of business,
modified to meet the needs of the flower
trade. They do not wait for custom-
ers; they go out, one way or another,
after the customers. The first response
may not be heavy or prompt, but it is
an old saying that ' ' Every little helps, ' '
or that "Every little added to what
you 've got makes just that much more. ' '
Also that "Keeping everlastingly at
it brings success."
It is possible to educate the flower
buyers to buy early and to buy often.
just as it is possible to educate break-
fast-food users to call for a certain
brand when they visit the grocer.
An Opportunity to Co&perate.
The cooperative advertising that is
being done by the florists in a number
of cities offers one 6f the best means of
correcting the tendency to crowd all
the business into one day. One of the
advantages of the cooperative advertis-
ing is that it not only permits the use
of larger space than the individual ordi-
narily feels he can afford, but it seems
to carry a greater weight from the fact
that it is the concerted action of the
leading members of the trade in a given
vicinity. This extra weight should by
all means be turned toward starting
the business early, as well as toward
arousing additional interest in flowers.
As a matter of fact, under the condi-
tions of the past it is more important
to get the buyers started early than it
is to increase the volume of business
offered at the last moment.
The Retailer's Part.
The retailer himself should not leave
everything until the last moment. Too
many do it. They give the newspaper
sixteen minutes in which to get up an
advertisement before going to press,
when nothing would be lost and much
might be gained by allowing the print-
ers several days for their part of the
work. The retailer gets quotations from
several wholesalers on his Easter needs
in cut flowers, but he waits until the
day of shipment and then orders by
wire. The Easter plants are ordered at
the last moment, when the shipper has
more than he can do, are a day late in
arriving and the whole operation is hur-
ried and haphazard. A holiday rush
reminds one of a catch-as-catch-can
wrestling match, except that the par-
ticipants are not in good training. There
isn't the slightest need for it. In each
and every branch of the business it is
possible to act in time, so that one's
own work need not be hurried and so
that ample time for best service can be
given to everyone from whom the flo-
rists get supplies.
It is common to hear, "Well, I am
glad it's over," after a flower holiday.
and the larger the business the speaker
does, the more certain he is to make
some such remark. It's all because no
effort is made to push the business in-
stead of letting the business push you.
EASTEB PLANT ABBANGEMENTS.
Harmony in Materials.
The success of plants for Easter uses
has depended most of all upon the skill
with which. the florist selected the stock
to be combined. It makes all the dif-
ference in the' world whether an appro-
priate receptacle is chosen. There must
be harmony between the plants and the
basket, or the plant business will not
come up to expectations. On the other
hand, where the retailer possesses the
real artistic instinct, the sale of the
Easter plant combinations only is lim-
ited by the florists' opportunities of
bringing them to the attention of the
buying public.
In this issue there are a number of
illustrations showing Easter plant ar-
rangements. Some are better than oth-
ers, but each one shows some point
which can be profitably applied to the
production of similar, yet dissimilar,
arrangements.
The illustration on page 27 shows two
low baskets of hyacinths. The one at
the left was a pink variety and with it
only ericas and adiantum were used.
In the basket at the right the hyacinths
were blue and the ribbon was carefully
chosen for a harmonious shade of lav-
ender. Of course both baskets were
fitted with the metal pans, now to be
had with practically everything of this
character. Size, shape and coloring all
were carefully considered.
A Popular Bose.
The illustration on page 28 shows two
plants of Hiawatha rose, one trained in
balloon shape and the other grown as a
standard. These require no embellish-
ment other than a pot cover, which must
b0 chosen to produce an air of solidity,
for the plants are large and heavy; a
light, fussy pot cover would give a
top-heavy appearance.
On page 29 there is a boat-shaped wil-
low basket that would be nowhere near

Hyacinths and Adiaotum in Metal Lined Willow Basketi are Excellent Sellers.
80 good Were the handle either higher
or lower. The proportions are excellent.
The only improvement would be the
addition of ribbon. This basket was
filled with Hexe azalea, a Clothilde
Soupert rose, a Dorothy Perkins, some
Superbissima fern and a Japanese
maple.
The big 'basket on page 29 was an
arrangement photographed last Easter
in one of the leading Chicago flower
stores. It sold for $25, and of course is
too large for use in the average retail
place, for more plant arrangements will
be sold at from $3 to $7.50 than at any
higher prices. However, these big show
pieces are good advertising, even if they
are too expensive to be sold. This bas-
ket was filled with hydrangeas and with
a white rambler rose trained over the
handle. In the front the variegated
foliage is a funkia and peeping from
the back is a lily. The ribbon was light
blue, chosen because of the color of
the hydrangea flowers.
On page 25 is a Tausendschon rose.
This has come to the front as possibly
the one best-selling variety. The En-
glish of the name would be Thousand
Beauties and there literally are that
many fascinations about a well-grown,
well-flowered specimen. The one shown
in the illustration, though it is not es-
pecially apparent in the cut, had too
large a pot cover. It was one of tht3
adjustable variety, too hurriedly chosen.
A smaller size would have greatly im-
proved the appearance of, the plant.
Tulips in Low Baskets.
Low, wide baskets of tulips are shown
in the illustration on page 26. These
are ready sellers. Of course the bas-
kets were tin lined, for it is the tin
containers that have made such plant
arrangements possible; no one would
want them if they were leaky or even
scattery. The basket at the left was
filled with red tulips. Note the way the
bareness of the base is relieved by the
use of adiantum. The basket at the
right was filled with Murillo, possibly
the commonest Easter tulip. The pussy-
willows appeal to some and add variety.
The ribbon might be either white or
pink. Selaginella was used to fill the
void between the edge of the basket
and the tulips.
"What would Easter be without the
lily? High-toned stores that cater to
the most select trade do not nowadays
use so large a proportion of lilies as they
did a few years ago; they have cut
down on the lilies while adding variety
to their stock by using other plants.
But no flower store could be without
lilies at Easter. There are more kinds
of lilies than there are flower stores;
almost as many as there are flower buy-
ers. Doubtless there will be department
stores selling lilies in clay pots, un-
washed, at 29 cents per plant, and there
will be thousands of good stores selling
neatly arranged and carefully handled
lily baskets at 25 cents per flower, with
an extra charge for the receptacle. The
florist supplies what his customers want
— quality and price. The illustration on
page 31 shows 'wo good lily arrange-
ments. At the left is a single plant in
a low, green willow basket, with some
adiantum and hyacinths planted around
the base of the lily. At the right is a
large white basket, tin lined, in which
three lily plants were made up. Each
retailer will elaborate or modify accord-
ing to his needs.
Some Changes in Plant Vogue.
On page 30 is an illustration which
shows two of the new French hydran-
geas. At the left is Lorraine, pink, and
at the right, Avalanche, white. So good
a judge of plants as E. Wienhoeber has
been quoted as saying that these new
varieties will put the old Otaksa out of
business as an Easter plant, and the
growers who have tried them endorse
the retailer's view. The supply this
season is much larger than that of last
year.
Azaleas will not this Easter cut as
much figure as has been the case in
other years — the trade does not seem
to be able to handle it so profitably as
in times gone by. The supply is not
large this season, much lesls than usual,
in spite of the early date of Easter,
which should be in favor of good and
plentiful azaleas. While some impor-
tant firms have ceased to handle the
plant, the probability is that a reaction
will come in a year or two and that
then larger quantities than ever will be
forced.
EASTEB CUT FLOWERS.
A Beaction Is in Progress.
One of the interesting developments
in the trade has been the reaction from
plants toward cut flowers. For a num-
ber of years it has been the report that
' * this was more than ever a plant
Easter," but in the better class of
stores there has, for a couple of sea-
sons, been a noticeable increase in the
sale of cut flower arrangements; the
public taste evidently is changing again.
Not that plants are any less popular
but that cut flowers are sharing more
evenly in the increased business.
Perhaps the increased sale of cut
flowers is in some measure due to more
reasonable prices, for the tendency now-
adays is not to advance holiday values
as formerly was done; but the chances
are that a good share of the increase
is due to the better methods the retail-
ers are using in showing and selling
cut stock. Until quite recently no re-
tailer thought of offering cut flowers
otherwise than put up in a box. But
now the leading stores show them taste-
fully arranged in baskets, and they sell
the baskets with the flowers. In a good
many cases the person delivering the
flowers is competent to arrange them
for the recipient. The basket and the
28

arrangement both are important factors
in the sale.
Easter Fashions in Cut Flowers
In this issue there are a number of
illustrations showing cut flower ar-
rangements of this character. The most
pretentious of these is the big basket
shown on pa^e .33. The store in which
this was photographed last Easter sold
it for $25. It was a large white bas-
ket, decorated with a wreath of flow-
ers. Of course it had a tin lining. The
decorator filled the liner with crossed
twigs, which made it possible for him
to insert his flower stems in water al-
most as he would have done in moss.
The stock used was all spring flowers,
including almost everything the season
affords.
Possibly the best sellers prove to be
the baskets shown on page 34. At the
left is an ivory finished basket filled
with Mrs. Aaron Ward rosea. The
handle carried a bow of good quality
ribbon that exactly matched the roses.
The supply houses new furmish splen-
did matches in all the leading flower
colors. At the right is a straw basket
with a glass container. The color was
yellow, with a green handle with a cute
little bow at the top. The flowers were
open Maryland roses, with a few tight
buds, and some valley, inexpensive but
extremely attractive.
On page 35 the basket at the left was
a fine seller. It was one of those dou-
ble-barreled affairs of willow, with
deep tin lining, making it possible to
use long-stemmed roses. Those photo-
graphed were Ehea Reid and the ribbon
was Reid red. At the right was one of
the Japanese straw baskets filled with
mixed roses. Such combinations do not
appeal to all tastes, but in some neigh-
borhoods this basket of roses as shown
at the right was a good seller.
Some Excellent Sellers.
On page 32 the illustration shows
three simple little affairs that were good
sellers. At the left the basket vase
contained pink sweet peas. In the cen-
ter Cattleya Trianse and lily of the val-
ley are shown. The basket at the right
was filled with Wilhelmina tulips and
poet's narcissi.
For the customer wanting something
out of the ordinary the cut flower bas-
ket shown on page 33 was provided.
This was of Japanese straw, champagne
color, with ribbon to match. Shaped
like the schoolgirl's book bag, it con-
tained a tin lining. The material used
was cut sprays of Azalea mollis, Spiraea
Gladstone and Japanese maple.
PLANTS AND THEIK CASE.
How to Handle Easter Stock.
Next in importance to growing or
buying good plants is the importance
of giving them proper care when they
reach the store, and proper packing
when sent out to customers. Eastei
comes at an unusually early date
this year, in a month notoriously
treacherous as to weather, so we should
be prepared to give plants all necessary
wrapping. We may be fortunate enough
to have balmy weather just prior to the
great floral festival, but of this we can
never be sure. Of course, mild weather
Rote Hiawatha is One of the Popular Easter Sei/ers.
means a great saving in labor incidental
to wrapping plants, but it would be wise
to lay in an abundant supply of news-
papers and other wrapping material.
Better cover more heavily than may
seem necessary, rather than have qom-
plaints coming in of chilled and trifzen
plants. Clean pots and careful stalling
and watering are other details wjiich
should be attended to. The grower who
sends dirty pots to the store deserve^ to
lose trade, yet some of them persisjt in
doing it. No wonder they are passed
in the race hy their more up-to-date

- The Easter Lilies. !
Lilies are, of course, the most impor-
tant of all Easter plants, and if one
plant only is wanted it will probably
be a lily. A large quantity are jthis
season being subjected to hard forcing
in efforts to flower them on time, f his
means that many plants will carry flow-
ers much lacking in substance and which
are likely to suffer severely in a stoije if
subjected to draughts and a moderately
low temperature. Look over the pleats
daily and remove all pollen masse^ to
keep the flowers clean. Few of ; the
giganteums should need any staking,
but the taller growing Formosas and
some of the multiflorums will reqiiire
it. There is quite a call for made-up
lilies in lO-inch to 12-inch pots or deep
pans. It is always best to let the plants
have the flowers about ready to open
before making up. A lot of the soil can
be shaken off or washed away with the
hose. If the roots are not too much dis-
turbed the plants will show little ill
effect. Be sure, however, to keep the
soil moist. In packing lilies, be sure to
first wrap tissue paper about the flow-
ers, and be careful when covering the
spikes that they are not tied tight, so
that the flowers will be bryised.
Bambler Boses.
Some rambler roses are likely to be
rather lightly flowered this season and
will show the effects of hard forcing.
They are among the most popular of
Easter plants. The old Crimson Ram-
bler led the procession years ago, but it
is not now much seen, the pink varieties
having secured a commanding lead. A
few years ago white was the predomi-
nant Easter color. Outside of lilies
this does not hold good now. Perhaps
the greatest seller of all is Dorothy
Perkins, but the newer Tausendschon
pushes it hard for leading place. This
latter proves a great seller. Unlike the
majority of ramblers, this sort has a
pleasing fragrance. Juniata, light pink,
is a fine thing, as is Lady Gay. As a
red we have nothing today superior to
Hiawatha, with its bright red single
flowers and rich, shiny foliage. Wed-
ding Bells, American Pillar, White Dor-
othy and Farquhar are all fine Easter
varieties. Then in the so-called baby
rambler, or dwarf class, we now have
quite a range of shades, from dark red
to pure white. The original Mme. Nor-
bert Levavasleur has not a good color,
but Mrs. Cutbush, Orleans, Catherine
Zeimet, Phyllis and others are all of
delightful shades. All the ramblers
need a generous water supply. One
drying out will severely cripple them,
so be sure they never approach this
stage.
In the case of hybrid perpetual and
hybrid tea roses in pots, it is not easy
to time them to a nicety and it may be
necessary to forward or retard them to

hold them in the beat possible condition
for Easter. Frau Karl Druschki, Sun-
burst, Killarney, Brunner and Magna
Charta are among the favorites in these
classes. Hold plants which are well ex-
panded in a cold, shaded house, but
avoid cold air currents, which are al-
ways liable to produce mildew.
Oenlstas.
No matter whether grown naturally,
trimly sheared, or as standards, genistas
make popular Easter plants. They are
not good house plants when compared
with rambler roses, azaleas or spiraeas,
one week usually completely finishing
them in a warm room. They sell well,
however, and stand quite a low tempera-
ture without showing any ill effects.
They are easy plants to pack, as they
can be pulled together closely without
being damaged in the least. Do not
place these in the store too many at a
time, for it does not take many days to
give them a jaded appearance. Do not
stint them on water j they need an
abundant supply..
Hydrangeas.
Hydrangeas do not sell so freely at
Easter as at Memorial day. Until re-
cently H. Otaksa has been the only form
of hortensis much in evidence in the
plant markets, but the newer French
hybrids are catching on wonderfully.
Mme. Emile Mouillere is a beautiful
white, Mousseline has mauve rose flow-
ers, Bouquet Eose is a bright pink, Mile,
de Tremault a superb white. General de
Vibraye is a bright rose and La Lor-
raine is rose, turning bright pink. These
are half a dozen new sorts which will
be considerably in evidence in future
years. Hydrangeas can hardly be 'over-
watered and it will pay to keep saucers
below them to prevent drying out.
Azaleas.
There are always heavy sales of aza-
leas at Easter, and both the colored and
white varieties take well. The double
white Niobe now takes the lead over
Deutsche Perle, which latter is supreme
in its color for Christmas. Apollo,
double scarlet; Simon Mardner, double
pink; Varvseneana, Paul Weber, -?5Te-
fly. Empress of India and Vander Cruys-
sen, to say nothing of the newer varie-
ties, are good sorts to carry. There are
some sorts with colors somewhat out of
the beaten track, rosy lilac or lavender,
particularly, which critical customers
will buy in preference to the varieties
most commonly offered. Few plants are
more generally satisfactory than aza-
leas in the dwelling. With a little
picking over they are easily kept pre-
sentable for two or three weeks, which
is longer than the general run of Easter
plants last.
Acacias.
Of all the hard-wooded plants, none
are more beautiful than the acacias.
Outside of A. paradoxa (armata) they
are not offered at so low prices as other
hard-wooded stock, their culture being
more difficult. Quite a few varieties are
now offered commercially. The peerless
A. pubescens is seen only in limited
quantities and many more could be sold.
Armata, pendula, heterophylla, Biceana,
cultriformis and Bailey ana all. make
good Easter plants. In the case of A.
armata the flowers should not be too
much open prior to Easter; once the
flowers become brown they spoil the ap-
pearance of the plant, and in order to
make such plants salable these discol-
ored flowers should be removed. Never
allow acacias to become dry, and ad-
vise customers purchasing them to give
them a liberal water supply; also, if
they want to keep them in fresh condi-
tion as long as possible, to give them
as cool a room as they can.
Spiraeas.
For purchasers of moderate means,
spiraeas are always popular. They can
be profitably grown and sold at a com-
paratively low price and make a really
satisfactory house plant provided they
get an ample water supply. While many
plants will keep sufficiently moist with
one good watering a day in the average
living room, spiraeas must have two
soakings or they will shrivel up. In

fact, they scarcely can be overwatered,
and in place of the tag ' ' Water this
plant every day," let it read "Water
this plant twice a day. ' ' The old S.
Japonica, while still grown considera-
bly, is much inferior to such kinds as
Gladstone, grandiflora compacta and
astilboides, while the beautiful pink va-
rieties, Queen Alexandra and Peach
Bloasom, will bring even higher prices.
These latter cannot be had in the best
condition for Easter. They come better
for Memorial day, but a good many are
being grown for the coming Easter. To
hold their beautiful color, keep them
out of the sun when opening. Any
spiraeas which are late can be given a
night temperature of 70 degrees and
copious water supplies. Such plants,
however, must not be suddenly removed
to a low temperature, or they will surely
suffer.
Dutch Bulbous Plants.
The early Easters suit Dutch bulbs
well, for by being grown along cool they
become nice and stocky. For late East-
ers retarding has to be done and taller
plants are the result. It should not be
necessary to support any of the bulbs,
if properly grown. However, if sup-
ports are required, use green painted
stakes and green raffia, which will be
comparatively inconspicuous. Such
double tulips as Murillo and Couronne
d 'Or, and singles like Keizerskroon,
Queen of the Netherlands, Yellow
Prince, La Reine, Flamingo, Pink
Beauty and Duchess of Parma are popu-
lar. Victoria among the bicolor, large
trumpet narcissi, easily leads. It is a
stocky flower. Emperor may need a
little support, but Golden Spur stands
up well. If the hyacinth spikes are
well advanced, give a little support to
them to prevent breaking. All bulbs in
flower can be easily retarded in a cold
pit. Late ones can be forced, but it is
always at the expense of stockiness.
These Dutch bulbs, being so hardy, can
be stood outside the store and will not
suffer from drying, cold winds as would
spiraeas, ramblers or any of the forced
deciduous • shrubs. Earthenware and
wooden boxes made up with bulbs, with
some small ferns or asparagus planted
in with them, will be found quite
salable.
Primula Obconica.
While some retailers taboo the prim-
rose. Primula obconica, on account of
the danger of poisoning from its leaves,
it remains one of the most popular of
moderate priced Easter plants. It is
now in splendid condition and in little
fancy baskets or hampers with a few
pussy willows added it has a delightful
spring effect. Of the various colors, the
clear, bright pink is the best and will
sell far better than either the pure
white or bluish shades. Pick off any of
the decayed flowers on the plants to
give them a perfectly fresh appearance,
and remember that they need a liberal
water supply. One real drying out will
mean the shriveling of nearly all the
flowers.
Cyclamens.
For late Easters it is not easy to have
cyclamens in good shape. This year
they are exceptionally fine. Of course,
to hold them back a cold house will
have been necessary, but if they have
been grown cold and airy, even as low
as 40 degrees at night, they should be
stocky and bristling with flowers and
buds. Cyclamens cannot be as easily
and cheaply grown as primulas, but any
well-grown plant, provided it is of the
large flowered type, will usually sell on
sight. Cyclamens need a moderate
water supply and do not dry up so fast
as primulas and many other plants.
Bhododendrons.
Rhododendrons are not grown to any-
thing like the extent of azaleas. They
are of larger size than the latter and
cannot be handled in small pots. The
most popular Easter variety, and for
that matter the finest of all for pot cul-
ture, is that beautiful pink sort, Pink
Pearl. There is never enough of this to
go around, although, being as yet com-
paratively scarce, it cannot be sold at
as low prices as old sorts like Cunning-
ham's White, roseum elegans, Charles
Dickens and Boule de Neige. The rho-
dodendrons should be well hardened off
before being removed to a store or the
flowers will wilt badly. Remember that
these in common with other h&rd-
wooded plants have fine, hair-like roots
and must never become in the least dry
at the root. ;
Deciduous Flowering Shrubs.
In this class are a number of varie-
ties which always appeal to flower con-
noisseurs, being peculiarly suggestive of
spring. Lilacs are more grown than any
other variety, ahd at this advanced sea-
son, by being grown in full light all the
time arid well hardened off, they haVe
splendid foliage. It is noted that the
pink and lavender shades sell better at
Easter than the white ones. Marie Le-
graye, single white, and Mme. Lemoide,
double white, are the leaders of this
color. If white and pink, or white and
blue varieties are made up in large,
rather deep hampers and sprays ,of
mountain laurel are used to cover their
lower stems, they look charming. Other
deciduous shrubs in favor are the orna-
mental crabapples, peaches and almonds.
Care should be taken not to have these
too fully expanded, for once the petdls
start to drop they are not easy to sell.
Deutzias, wistarias, staphyleas, Cratae-
gus, forsythias and Azalea mollis are
other popular plants. The last named,
with its glorious shades of color, is
easily the most popular and a group in
any window produces a most charming
effect. All these deciduous shrubs, if
gradually hardened off, or grown cool,
will stand a quite low temperature.
Lily of the VaUey.
A sufficient lot of well-grown lily of
the valley in 6-inch or 7-inch pots rarely
comes in at Easter. It cannot be prof-
itably sold so cheaply as tulips or
daffodils, but well foliaged plants carry-
ing strong spikes, placed in suitable re-
ceptacles, will sell before almost any
other plants. The hard forced stock
with a little pale foliage and drawn-up
flower spikes is wanted by no one. Sala-
ble plants should be grown in the light
from the time the pips are three or four
inches high. Then they will be a credit
to anyone.

The Lily no Looker is the Whole Thing at Easter, but it Still is Indispensable, in Pots or Cut.
Marguerites.
The fine varieties of marguerites,
Queen Alexandra and Mrs. P. Sander,
make great Easter plants. They do not
bloom so profusely as the older and
smaller flowered sorts, but their big
flowers rivet attention at once. Mar-
guerites stand considerable rough treat-
ment, provided always they have water
in abundance at the roots. In addition
to the plants of large specimen size,
small plants carrying a few flowers in
4-inch or 5-inch pots are salable and
pretty effects can be produced with
them in baskets and boxes. The yellow
varieties do not make as shapely plants
as the white ones, or they also would be
in demand.
Cinerarias.
For a cheap Easter plant, the cinera-
ria is in the front rank. Its many-hued
flowers are hard to arrange pleasingly
with other plants. Better stand them
in a group by themselves in the store
or greenhouse. As they do not like
inuch sunshine, give them a shaded po-
sition, and if instead of mixing the
colors up indiscriminately, the whites,
pinks, light blues, dark blues and reds
are grouped together, the effect will be
much more pleasing.
Orchids.
For high-class trade some of the more
popular orchids cannot well be over-
looked. While this is not the height
of the orchid season, a fair assortment
IS now to be had and some of these can
be sold at a moderate price. Late plants
of Cattleya Trianse can still be had,
while C. Schroederae is in good crop.
Dendrobium nobile in its many forms
and D. Wardianum are beautiful varie-
ties. If white flowers are wanted, noth-
ing could be better than Coelogyne cris-
tata, while in cypripediums the old C.
villosum, Sallieri and others are to be
had. One thing about orchids is that
cost may be comparatively high but the
flowers have great lasting properties.
A drying out will not harm the plants
at all and they can be carried over and
flowered again if necessary.
INTEENATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.
The board of management has made
the following dates for meetings of
the societies cooperating in the show
at New York:
April 7. Society of American Florists.
April 8. American Rose Society.
April 9. American Carnation Society.
April 10. National Association of Gardeners.
April 11. American Sweet Pea Society.
April 12. American Gladiolus Society.
The meetings will be held at 10:30 a. m. each
day.
Each afternoon and evening during
the show the lecture room will be re-
served for public lectures on horticul-
tural subjects. In addition to the lec-
turers already announced, Arthur
Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., will lecture
on "The Gladiolus"; Arthur Herring-
ton, of Madison, N. J., on "The Whys
and Wherefores of Tree Planting";
and L. W. C. Tuthill, of New York, on
"Greenhouses and Frames for Ama-
teurs. ' *
Members of the Rose, Carnation,
Sweet Pea and Gladiolus Societies and
of the S. A. F. in good standing will
be furnished with tickets or badges
admitting them to the show at all
times.
The show will be opened at 6 p. m.
Saturday, April 5, with an appropriate
ceremony, and on other days will be
open from 10 a. m. until 10 p. m.
Posters and hangers, in colors, are now
in course of distribution.
The advertising forms for the official
program will close March 15, so that
anyone who has not already taken
space in the same and intends doing
so should lose no time in making his
wants known to John Young, secretary,

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.
Cattleyas.
The sun is becoming more powerful
and it will be necessary to give the
glass a thin shadiAg, just sufficient to
break the direct rays. The temptation
to put on a heavier coating is strong
when we get a brilliant day, suggestive
of the tropics, but these in March are
usually borrowed days and followed by
dark, cold spells more closely re-
sembling the arctics.
Potting should be pushed ahead with
C. Trianse and any other species need-
ing it. Bather coarse and wiry fern
fiber is better than the soft, spongy
kind for cattleyas, as it wears longer,
and be sure to firm the plants thorough-
ly, whatever receptacle they are grow-
ing in. No cattleya or other orchid
loosely potted will ever thrive. Potting,
when properly done, should enable any-
one to pick a cattleya up by the bulbs
and move it without disturbing the
compost.
It is a good plan when repotting to
also clean the cattleyas. Use a brush
that will reach right down between
the top of the bulb and the leaf and
clean any scale out thoroughly. This
scale also will fasten itself on the
bulbs and must be forcibly removed.
Such insecticides as Aphine, Firtree oil
and Imperial soap are all good for this
purpose.
• As C. Trianae passes out of flower
we will be dependent on C. Sehroederse,
now coming into season. This cattleya
is pale in color and for some reason
has never become popular. It, how-
ever, is a beautiful variety and fills
in the gap nicely until Mossiee and
Mendellii come in season. A few Mossiee
are already opening and soon there will
be a good display of this easily grown
and free flowering early summer orchid.
A night temperature of 58 to 60
degrees will suffice for cattleyas, giving
such varieties as gigas, Dowiana and
Mossia; the warm end of the house
except when in flower.
"Watering of newly potted stock must
be done sparingly until the roots are
taking hold of the new compost. Better
always to underwater rather than over-
water orchids. Growing plants will
now need more abundant supplies. All
watering should be done in the morn-
ing, and in spraying over on clear days
plan to have the foliage dry before
nightfall.
Keep a sharp watch for cattleya fly;
it usually comes on C. labiata, but will
attack practically all varieties. Ab-
normally swelled growths show the
presence of the pest and the only rem-
edy, a radical one, is to cut these
off, cut them open and burn them.
Fumigation may kill a few, as will fly
papers, but the only real remedy is
to cut open the growths.
Phalsenopsis.
At this season the beautiful moth
orchid, the phalaenopsis, makes a truly
magnificent show. It is such a fine
and popular commercial orchid that
it is not surprising to find more growers
taking hold of it. In California, where
the phalsenopsis is largely grown, it
vies with the cattleya in popularity.
Its culture is looked upon as difficult
and comparatively few growers have
handled it. It is true it needs some
fussingorer, but given plenty of moist
heat, a position near the glass, and
suitable shade, there ara no special
difficulties attending its culture. The
phalsenopsis resents direct currents of
air; anything like a draught is harmful,
so ventilation must be carefully given.
It succeeds well in pots, pans or bas-
kets, but rather deep, cylindrical bas-
kets are particularly good. It also
thrives nicely on blocks with some
fern fiber and sphagnum securely fast-
ened to them.
Just now the beautiful, much
branched pink variety, P. Schilleriana,
is in flower. Fifty to sixty flowers are
not uncommon on this sort, sometimes
as many as seventy-five to 100 being
produced. The exquisite white forms,
grandiflora, Bimestadiana and amabilis,
are all now in season. It is unwise to
leave the fully expanded spikes on the
plants too long, as they" severely cripple
them.
A night temperature of 65 to 68 de-
grees must be maintained, but on se-
verely cold, windy nights it can be
allowed to drop to 60 to 62 degrees.
On dull days a temperature of 70 to
72 degrees should be kept, while on
bright days it can be advanced to 80
degrees, with ventilation. Sponge the
leaves occasionally with tepid water
as a preventive of thrips and red spide?
and keep a moist atmosphere, but keep
water oflF the flowers, which soon be-
come spotted; also be careful not to
play the hose on steam or hot water
pipes. Steam in the atmosphere will
soon spot the white-flowered sorts.
OUTLOOK FOB BULB GBOWING.
Bight at the start comes forward the
question, can any business be overdone?
It can be answered by yes or no. The
usual can be overdone, the best never.
The way of the great majority often
is clogged, but that of the painstaking
few hardly ever.
How is it with Europe! Many years
ahead of us in growing, with far
cheaper labor and still longer experi-
ence, they are increasing their out-
put year by year. But I think we can
well stop a moment and take a look at
the environment. We have an immense
country, a population that is growing
faster than production along food lines.
Luxuries sometimes have to wait a bit.
Flowers, the product of bulbs, are

aries prove, in the end, to be necessi-
ties. Such is the position flowers are
in today. They are gradually becoming
a necessity and will gain just so fast
as intelligence and a love for the beau-
tiful fasten themselves upon the peopje as
a whole.
Therefore, I take it that the future
of bulb growing depends as much upon
the intelligent, honest and painstaking
grower as on any other factor. Put up
the square deal on what you sell, the
same as you insist upon receiving.
Right along by the side of this put
publicity for what you have to sell.
No need to misrepresent or exaggerate
the beauty of any flower. They came
from the hand of the perfect One, and
not by any jumping:jack, haphazard
evolution. Put these two influences to-
gether and we never need fear the
overproduction of any really valuable
flower. Show the people the value and
thej will not only appreciate our ef-
forts but will reward us financially.
I believe the business of bulb grow-
ing has struck a snag, if ''you will
allow such an expression, and it is now
up to the straightforward producer of
good stock, with honest methods of
handling and selling, to set the trade
straight and reap the reward. The
people of this country are being edu-
cated faster than many realize. They
are also watching the advertisements
«f the goods, making comparisons, as
It were, in the quiet of the hoiiii/ This
f"onsultation, often around the fireside,
necide^ the route fey which the next
are learning it and some are profiting
by honesty and sincerity.
The grower suffers somewhat in com-
parison with the producers of many of
the necessities of life. His results
largely depend on weather and he must
plant, care for and harvest with this
fact in constant view. His business is
" largely dominated bv faith, but with
that faith, borne upward by the reward
that surely comes if faithful, he works
on year after year with an abiding
happiness that conquers all.
In the bulb in which we are all
more or less interested, the gladiolus,
we have a good example. Year after
year the bulbleta are planted with
scarcely any regard to good or ill re-
sults. Consequently the small or weak
ones go in with the rest, and stock is
kp^r* thereby. This is being remedied
in some caMtR. This can be largely
remedied by sifting the bulblets. Do-
ing away with this evil will help the
general stock. Carry this principle all
along down the long row of bulbous
flowers and the far-reaching results
would in time surprise. I think we
need have no fear of overproduction of
good stock of any bulb, but we cer-
tainly must have more care for selec-
tion, the eradication of disease, and
good keeping. The seed-corn growers
are beating us by miles in carefulness
and selection.
New things are desirable, but the old
standards have not lost their value.
Twice two still makes only four, and it
is fair to conclude 'twill so remain.
I think we can reasonably say, put out
good stock, be fair about the price,
insist upon getting value received, but
deliver the goods, and we need have no
fear of the future in growing any bulb
the market calls for.

of New York state. I want them to
bloom next winter. If this method of
procedui-e is wrong, kindly tell me how
to go abotit it to get flowering plants
next winter. Is the c^op continuous
aftfer they once commence to bloom?
A. E. B.
Your plants have been started a lit-
tle early for next winter's crop. If
you. have any vacant bench it would
pay you better to plant them out now,
placing them twelve inches apart each
way, and get a crop of flowers through
May and June. If topped once, the
plants will send up five or six shoots
eadh, all of which should be allowed to
remain. An additional batch of seed,
sown now, will give you good plants
by the end of April, which can at that
tiihe be planted out in the field, kept
headed back, lifted and benched in the
early part of August for winter flower-
ing. Geo. E. Buxton, a successful grow-
er of Silver Pink snapdragons, puts
ea«h plant in a strawberry box, which
he covers about one inch', and when
lifting he thus gets a good ball of roots
and the plants sustain little check. Of
course, cuttings inserted now will also
make you nice little stock to plant out
about the last of April. Snapdragons
do not mind a little frost and should
be planted out earlier than such stock
as geraniums, verbenas and petunias.

SOWING SPSENGEBI SEED.
Please let me know how to treat
Asparagus Sprengeri seed to get the
best results. Of some fresh seed that
I sowed, only a small percentage ger-
minated. C. B.
Asparagus seed should be sown in
shallow flats, containing about two and
one-half to three inches of soil. A
good rule to follow in regard to the
depth of soil with which to cover the
seeds, is to use enough to cover them-
about the diameter of the seeds, or, in
the case of asparagus, generally to
cover them with about a quarter of an
inch of soil. A thin coveriog of sand
will answer well, and will keep the sur-
face of the soil from baking hard.
Place the flats in a temperature of
65 degrees and keep them moist, but
not sodden, and there should be no
trouble in germinating the seeds, pro-
viding they are fresh, W. H. T.

the best temperatures in which to grow
themf During the month of Decem-
ber should they be treated different-
ly? How can aphis and red spider best
be fought? What is the effect of too
much heat and closed ventilators on
that violet? - E. L.
Morning is the best time to do any
necessary watering. Never allow vio-
lets to become in the least dry at the
root, or they will suffer severely and
fall an easier prey to red spider.
When you do water, give a thorough
soaking. The proper night tempera-
ture for single violets is 40 degrees; it
should not exceed 42 degrees. No dif-
ferent treatment should be given in
December, with the idea of increasing
the pick.
No spraying should be given except
near heating pipes, where spider is lia-,
ble to attack the plants. Spray with
nicotine or Aphine for green aphis, or
fumigate with one of the tobacco pa-
pers. Violets will not stand heavy
fumigation. They want abundant ven-
tilation. Only on the coldest nigh 1 3
should the ventilators be closed. Tco
much heat and closed ventilators will
mean flowers off color, a heavy cro
of leaves, plenty of insect peats and au
early runnin* out of the plants.

DOUBLE VIOLETS IN POTS.
Can anyone tell me how to grow
double violets in pots to sell to locfd
trade? I once saw some that carried-
about seventy-five flowers to a pot an 1
they were beautiful. My location is
western Massachusetts. A. F. J.
Good field-grown plants should be dug
up and potted in 6-inch or 7-inch pots
in August. Place in a coldframe at
first, keep freely aired and spray occa-
sionally until established. Place in a
cool greenhouse in September, giving
a night temperature as near 45 degrees
as possible. Bather let the heat run
a little lower than higher in winter.
Use soil such as you would grow roses
or mums in, with a good proportion of
decayed cow manure. Feed with liquid
manure occasionally when they are well
rooted in pots. You will find Lady
Hume Campbell the best variety to
grow. C. W.
EUROPEAN NOTES.
American readers are undoubtedly
aware of the extraordinary outrage that
was recently perpetrated by militant
suffragettes at Kew Gardens. The
glass in two orchid houses was
broken and hundreds of valuable or-
chids were torn from their pots and
trampled under foot. An envelope
bearing the words, "Votes for
Women," was found among the wreck-
age of glass and flower pots and the
greenhouses had the appearance of hav-
ing been swept by a terrible storm.
Just how this outrage is to help women
to obtain votes is difficult to conceive.
The damage is estimated at $1,000.
The one hundred and ninth annual
meeting of the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety was held February 11. Twenty-
five years ago the society had 1,100

The proposed establishment of a

pressed the opinion that such advances
had been more along scientific lines
than on practical lines. Britain had al-
ways stood high in practical horticul-
ture and it was difficult to say that
there had been much advance during
the last half century.

You were kind and prompt in getting
me the desired information regarding
the pest on Rhea Reid roses for which
I wrote you, . and for which I thank
you. I am now writing to ask you for

now be in sand or potted off. They will
root in a month with a brisk bottom
heat in a night temperature of 70 de-
grees. Cuttings require frequent water-
ing; in fact, with fairly coarse sand
they can scarcely be overwatered. Keep
the young plants close and shaded until
established in the pots, which should be
2%-inch or 2%-inch. Later a shift can
be given into 3i^-inch pots, although
if the bench is ready they can go there
direct.
Gardenias want a light house, piped
so that an absolute minimum of 65 to
70 degrees can be maintained with ease.
I prefer to have the pipes below the
benches, but near the ground, so as to
afford some bottom heat. Use good
drainage in the benches and for com-
post two-thirds fibrous loam to one-
third dry, lumpy cow manure. To this
can be added some broken charcoal and
coarse sand. Gardenias want a porous
soil, through which water will readily
pass. If this is not given the soil will
become sour and the yellows will ap-
pear sooner or later. Five inches of soil
is ample. Set the plants fifteen inches
apart in the rows and let the rows be
twenty-four inches apart. Leave a lit-
tle saucer about each plant and water
in these for a time, until the roots are
running through the soil freely. Too
much water may bring on the yellows.
Gardenias enjoy a brisk, moist heat.
Mealy bug and other pests can be con-
trolled by the judicious use of the hose.
Right through the growing season spray
the plants over in the afternoon and
close up so as to have a warm, moist
growing atmosphere. Always avoid any-
thing like overwatering. Pinch the lit-
tle plants once or twice as needed and,
before they become too much grown,
support by a wire stake, to which some
of the stronger shoots can be tied.
Some growers use no stakes, but it
pays to have them.

and 68 to 70 degrees, except on severe
nights, is better. Syringe on bright
days, just often enough to keep the
plants clean. A top-dressing of Clay's
fertilizer mixed with some soot, loam
and leaf-mold, not too much decayed,
will bring a network of feeding roots
on the surface. This form of feeding
is preferable to using liquid manures.
A small number of growers only are
successful in flowering gardenias in
winter, the time they bring highest
prices. Anyone can flower them in
spring and early summer. Values run
all the way from $6 to $50 per hundred
at wholesale. Few bring the highest
price, and then only at the holidays.
A fair winter price is $25 for good flow-
ers with 12-inch to 18-inch stems. Short
stems bring, of course, much less. The
production per plant is hard to give.
Those flowering in winter give far
fewer blooms than such as are kept
for spring crops, but it is in winter
that they bring the highest prices; still
there is a demand for good gardenias in
the big markets the year around.

THE RETAIL
I
FLORIST I
EXPENSE OF BETAIL DELIVEBY.
I should like to hear from any of my
brother florists who are situated as 1
am in regard to that increasingly im-
portant part of our business, the deliv-
ery service.
I am located in a town of about 12,-
000 inhabitants, with a large country
territory, and with the nearest opposi-
tion of any importance over 100 miles
away. I have a small greenhouse in the
outskirts of the town and a store in
the business part. All the help I need
is a man in the greenhouse and a sales-
lady at the store. The sales run all the
way from 25 cents to about $3 per pur-
chase; few purchases are over the lat-
ter amount, while by far the largest
percentage average from $1 to $1.50.
Of course, every store in town deliv-
ers free of charge and so do I, but
here is where the rub comes in: The
free delivery on such small purchases
not only eats up the profit but often
devours a slice more. I am getting most
of my flowers from the city and accord-
ingly have to figure on the cost of the
flowers laid down at my place. On the
other hand, the florists in the city are
doing quite a business shipping flowers
out here and people are constantly go-
ing back and forth; hence I have to sell
tit city prices in order to sell anything
at all. Now, if I deliver free of charge
and have to send my man from the
greenhouse to the store, have him de-
liver a package or two or even three,
and figure his time until he comes back
again, as well as the cost of the box,
wax paper, paper and string, the store
expenses, etc., I am more than likely to
be money out on purchases which do
not amount to more than $1, while on
purchases of from $1 to $1.50 I come
out about even and on anything over
$1.50 the profit is cut down to a con-
siderable extent.
A short time ago a wholesale grower
from the city was here and I spoke to
him about it, but, as I expected, he
simply told me that I would have to
deliver free at any time and anywhere,
or I could not expect people to patron-
ize me. Does he do the same thing f
Let us see: I have a standing order
with him for cut fiowers, which, with
special orders sent in quite frequently,
amount to from $10 to $20 per day. The
flowers are all packed at a certain time
and in one box. Any of the express
companies will be glad to call at his
place and get them, but at the end of
the invoice I find a charge of 25 cents
for packing and delivering. This in-
cludes box, paper, string, icing, and tlie
time it takes a man to do the packing.
Now, how is it that the grower or
wholesaler charges me 25 cents for this
packing and imaginary delivering to
the express company, on any order
amounting to $15 per day, while I am
supposed to furnish all boxes, wax pa-
per, paper, string, clerk hire and inci-
dental expenses without charge, and
then deliver all these flowers free in
small lots to all parts of town and at
any time my customer wants them de-
livered?"" It is simply because all the
growers and wholesalers make this
charge, while we little fellows tumble
over one another to get the trade at
any expense, without doing any calcu-
lating as to whether or not the expenses
connected with a sale eat up the whole
profit. If we would come to an agree-
ment to stop this tremendous expense of
free delivery; if we would, like the
wholesaler, charge our out-of-town cus-
tomers with packing and delivery, we
could all make the delivering pay for
itself instead of being a heavy burden.
In the city a boy can probably be
hired for the job of delivering for
about $3 per week; here I have to pay
any young fellow from $6 to $8, and
half the time cannot get one even at
those wages. In the city the gasoline
for a motorcycle or auto delivery car
can be purchased for a good deal less
than here. We are paying nearly 18
cents per gallon in tank lots, and for
everything else correspondingly.
Again, there is the delivering on Sun-
day. I keep my store open on Saturday
night until 10 o'clock, and on Sunday
from 10 a. m. to 1 and from 7 p. m. to
9. I am not making a practice of deliv-
ering on Sundays, but have a good
many kicks on that. Some of my cus-
tomers have even walked out without
buying because I would not deliver
free of charge. However, I look at it in
this way: I cannot get anyone to work
seven days a week for fifty-two weeks
in the year by compensating him for
only six days' work per week. One of
us must be at the greenhouse and one
at the store, and if delivering is done
on Sunday, another helper is needed for
this. Thus all three of us would have
to work 365 days in the year, which I
do not think is an enjoyable prospect
for anybody. If I have to pay someone
for delivering on Sunday, the expense
is more than my profits amount to. If
I call an A. D. T. messenger I have to

pay from 10 to 15 cents per package
and frequently have to wait so long
that the flowers are not delivered on
time, which is as bad as no delivery, or
worse.
Besides, we live in a town which con-
tains about sixteen churches. About
ninety per cent of the flower-buying
public are church members, or at least
go to church whenever the doors are
open, and, no matter what diagreements
the different denominations may have
among themselves, they all alike teach
you to keep the Sabbath. However,
coming from church, they drop into the
flower store and buy a few flowers for
the dinner table, and if these are not
delivered for them they feel terribly
put out about it.
Now, how could this delivery ques-
tion be managed so as to be satisfac-
tory all around and at the same time
lot be a source of loss? Would it do
to cut delivery out on small purchases?
Will it be necessary to deliver on Sun-
<lays, or could I make a charge of 10
cents on the non-paying and Sunday de-
liveries and deliver large purchases
free? Let us have your opinion, as
there are, no doubt, lots of small florists
in the same situation. R. S.
AN EASTEB DECOBATIOX.
"City florists will not take enough
interest in the picture of the church
decoration," writes Ernest L. Johnson,
"but it may help some country florist
to take courage. The city retailer has
everything to work with, but the small
tountry retailers, like myself, have to
make the best of meager facilities."
The picture shows a church decorated
for Easter by Mr. Johnson, who does
''usiness in Palmer, Mass. The plants
jised were cinerarias, ferns, palms and
I'Hes. The cinerarias were grouped so
that the colors ranged from pure white
through the different shades of pink.
The cross shown in the picture was
garlanded with strings of smilax. At
the left of the altar was a large basket
of Easter lilies and pussy-willows.
If fi. suggestion may be permitted, no
town is too small for the florist to carry
a stock of crepe paper, if not ready-to-
use pot covers, and certainly clay pots
are no more sightly in a small town than
in a large one.
FOB AN EASTEB WEDDING.
The accompanying illustration shows
an Easter wedding decoration arranged
by Will Rehder, Wilmington, N. C. In
the photograph the ribbons forming the
aisle to the altar are somewhat exag-
gerated by a freak of the camera. In
reality they were not so conspicuous a
feature. The bay window was filled
with palms and ferns, with a frame-
work of southern smilax. The conven-
tional kneeling stool stood beneath the
arch and between the newel posts. On
top of each post was a large kentia,
around which had been placed Easter
lilies. The mantel was banked with
white roses and valley amid the ferns.

movable date, and how the exact date
is fixed, they tell us that it is fixed by
the "ideal tnoon" adopted many cen-
turies ago by the church. There is
•.1 : not a great deal of difference between
-Sf'* the "true moon" and the "ideal
"-''^ - inpo4^* in their phases, but sometimes
the "true moon" may just miss the
"ecclesiastical moon." When it comes
to fijguring just where the difference
lies you touch upon a pretty complicated
astronomical subject. It is safe to say,
however, that Easter comes on the first
Sunday- after the first full moon after
March 21. Or, to put it another way,
Easter is the first Sunday occurring
after the first full moon, or more ac-
curately, after the first fourteenth day
of the moon following the vernal equi-
nox. The vernal equinox invariably
falls March 21, so that the Easter
festival cannot come earlier than March
22 or later than April 25.
Not since 1856 has Lent come in sp
early as it did this year, and not for
ninety-five years more will we have
so early a Lent and Easter. Some day
we hope it will not be a movable feast.
Florists are not the only ones who would
like Easter given a fixed date, and
there is a strong and growing move-
ment toward such a change.
BASKET or LILIES.
The basket of Easter lilies is-the one
indispensable feature of an Easter dec-
oration, no matter where or for what.
It is an arrangement every florist will
be called on to make times without
closely together that they show no in-
dividuality. The accompanying illus-
tration is interesting as showing a well
proportioned arrangement of lilies with
pussy-willows. It was by E. L. John-
son, Palmer, Mass. , .
, ^ Why flowees wilt.
Flowers wilt because of the collapse
of the individual cells of which they
are made^ up. So long as these cells
are distended the flowers remain fresh.
This distention is due to osmotic pres-
sure. If the osmotic equilibrium — that
is, the osmotic pressure within and
without the cells — can be kept uniform,
the flowers remain fresh. If the osmotic
equilibrium is disturbed, the flowers
wilt. Now, osmotic pressure depends
upon the presence in the cell of a
liquid containing substances in solution.
The proportion and character of the
substance dissolved determine the de-
gree of osmotic pressure exerted by the
liquid within the cell.
L. Fourton, associate professor of
chemistry, and Vital Ducomet, profess^
or of botany, at the National School
of Agriculture at Eennes, France, have
made a series of experiments during the
last three years to determine the in-
fluence of various solutions in prolong-
ing the life of cut flowers through their
influence on osmotic pressure. Over
100 varieties of plants were experi-
mented with and over 100 experiments
were tried on each. It was found that
mixtures of mineral and organic sub-
stance* were, as a rule, not so effective

number in the next few days. The one
mistake most frequently made is to
use too many lilies, producing 4
crowded effect. The idea of abundance
always is desirable in any flower ar-
rangement, but the beauty of the lily
is lost when the flowers are packed so
as either alone. Inorganic substances
were helpful only in very dilute solu-
tions, a strength ef one 'part in 10,000
giring the' best results. With organic
substances a solution varying from one
to ten per cent proved most efficient.
The results arrived at showed that
no one substance was universally help
ful, though solutions of sugar were more
generally helpful, than those of any
other substance. The strength of the
solution to be used varied with the dif
ferent plants. Lilacs, lilies, sweet peas
and a few other flowers were hurt, not
helped, by the addition of sugar to tho
water. Sugar' seemed to have no influ-
ence either 6ne way or the other on
marguerites, chrysanthemums and tu-
lips. Nearly all the other popular flow-
ers were benefited by the addition of
sugar to the water in which they were
kept, the life of the flower being length-
ened from ten to 300 per cent. The
strength of the sugar solution ""to be
used varies with different flowers. With
carnations a fifteen per cent sugar solu-
tion is helpful; with most roses a solu
tion of from seven to ten per cent in
strength gives the best results. Or-
chids did best in solutions varying from
ten to twenty per cent of sugar. The
sugar solutions accelerated the opening
of buds, particularly among roses and
orchids.
Lilacs, though injured by sugar solu-
tion alone, were helped by a twelve per-
cent solution of sugar containing one
part of manganese sulphate in 10,000.
Chloral, ether, glycerin and alcohol in
varying proportions helped certain of
the blossoms, while others were helped
by lime water, potash and its salts, and
ammonia and its salts.
The only advantage of changing
water seemed to be the prevention of
putrefaction; otherwise changing the
water in which flowers stand seemed
detrimental. The more deeply the stem
was immersed in the water or solution,
the better the result; that is, the water
should come as near as possible to the
blossom.
COMPOSITE CROPS.
Different Species Grown Together.
In these days, when the increasing
cost of production threatens to deplete
the fair profits the florist deserves, the
problem of "making two spears grow
where one grew before" should receive
large attention. And the problem is
largely hinged on the question as to
what different species will do well to-
gether in the solid beds without emulat-
ing the theory of survival of the fittest.
To find out definitely what species
will grow in harmony, what plants will
use the different chemical constituents
of the soil, what kinds will not rob each
other of root formation, what kinds
will help each other in the battle
against their insect enemies, the
stronger attracting certain pests until
its weaker copartner gets a good start
— these are the main points to be con-
sidered in this plan of plant manage-
ment.
I sowed two pounds of cabbage seed
with one and a half pounds of white-
tipped Scarlet Turnip radish. The
stand was even and I pulled the radishes
out when fit for market. In the mean-
time they had attracted the flea beetles
and kept them from the cabbage plants.
But if you wish to grow beautiful
plants by old methods, try the Volga;
it is such a swift, robust grower that
insects are left behind in the race and
insectici'.ea are quite Unnecessary.
I Seven Crops in a Season.
I have seen a Detroit florist grow
this succession: Early in the spring
Mabch 13, 1913.
The Florists' Review

he cut a ^ood crop of spinach from
seed sown in the fall; also some pansy
T.lants. He plowed the land and planted
lettuce plants from his greenhouse.
When the lettuce was nearly market-
able he drilled radish seed up the
rows. When these were being pulled
he planted wax beans which had been
started on sod in his greenhouse. Then
• ame crops of summer lettuce, fall
radishes and spinach.
A New York market gardener once
told me that I tried to get too many
(^^rops from the same piece of ground
in one season. He relied on a single
crop. But I would rather have the
satisfaction of the Detroit florist who
grew seven crops than that of the
New York gardener who secured but
one.
I had several thousand cosmos plants
which grew too rank in the beds. I
thought I would try lopping off the
tops, as they were touching the glass.
As an experiment I stuck the slips in
between the tomato rows in a hotbed.
In a few days they rooted and I dis-
covered that these cuttings made flow-
ering plants much sooner than those
from seed, besides doubling my plant
supply. In fact, somef were in bloom
before I planted them out in June.
Cream on Cream.
Gladioli seem to be a popular go-
between in greenhouse plantings in this
vicinity. Especially do carnation grow-
ers take to this bulb. But there are
those, like the aforementioned New
York gardener, who desire to see but
one crop growing on the same ground
at the same time. They forget that if
they select those kinds that do not
intrude on their neighbors, whatever
is added to the income from these
extra sales is but cream on cream.
Having 2,000 pond lily cosmos unsold
one season, I planted them between
the hills in a field of Golden Bantam
corn; after the corn was cut the cos-
mos massed the field and several thou-
sand cuts of the bloom added to the
season's profits.
If we only knew all the workings of
the underworld of roots — if we could
see all plant life upside down, as it
were — we (fould more easily choose
those that would couple in harmony.
If such plants as the gerardias are root
parasites, as some botanists assert, we
must beware of that class. On the
other hand, those of the order of le-
gumes, the sweet pea, etc., from their
reputed congenial habits of growth,
might be welcomed in composite flori-
culture.
With some greenhouse crops, such as
<ucumbers, etc., where all the soil or
space is not needed at the start, beans,
lettuce and even radishes might be
"sed as fillers. The "Japanese climb-
'Dg cucumber seems to me to have
many points in its favor as an agree-
:ible greenhouse resident.
The Pentstemon and Its Future.
One of the coming popular flowers,
in my mind, is the pentstemon. Amer-
'ca is the natural home of this inter-
"sting plant, for there are no less than
'en kinds found east of the Bockies,
'resides several in California, Mexico
=ind elsewhere. But it is to the hybrids

the different beautiful colored speci-
mens of Hartwegi, gloxinioides, glaber,
pulchellus, etc., suitable individual
names. In solid beds, until I can deter-
mine whether or not they are root
parasites, I shall be slow to companion
them with other kinds of plants. With
the advent of hybrids having more
sturdy, less wiltable bloom for cutting,
with its already proved adaptability for
bedding out and its ease of propaga-
tion from seed or from cuttings from
low side shoots, the pentstemon is on
the verge of a wave of popular fashion
or public favor, such as is already ex-
perienced by many of its more for-
tunate neighbors.
Mushrooms may be grown in many
beds without inconvenience to the host.
Montbretias may be used quite as well
as gladioli. Sea kale and Swiss chard,
owing to their increasing popularity,
must be given consideration.
Cultivate some of the "new things"
in the open during the summer; give
specimens or messes to the fancy res-

CLAY'S FEBTILIZEB. -*i
What proportion of Clay's fertilizer
should be used to a gallon of water f
8. B.
A teaspoonful to a gallon of water is
a sufficiently strong dose for the aver-
age soft-wooded plant. Such plants as
callaa, hydrangeas, marguerites and
chrysanthemums will take it double that
strength. Clay's fertilizer can also be
applied as a top-dressing; one teaspoon-
ful to a 6-inch pot should be applied to
such plants as begonias, primroses, cine-
rarias, cyclamens, geraniums, calceola-
rias, etc. Strong growing ferns, like
cibotiums and nephrolepis, are benefited
by Clay 's fertilizer, but use it half as
strong as for the flowering plants, and
in liquid form. C. W.

OUTDOOR SWEET PEAS.
|-
Early Sowing Desirable^
The winter now passing has been an
uncommonly open one and no doubt
some growers in the more southerly
states have already made outdoor sow-
ings. It is a common fallacy to wait
until the ground is warm and dry be-
fore sowing the seeds. Sweet peas can
not be sown too early, once the frost
has left the ground and it has dried
so that it is not sticky when worked.
These early sown peaS make deep roots
before the growths appear, while the
ground is cool and moist, and that is
what we need if strong haulm and
stems are wanted.
Thorough preparation of the ground
pays. Turn it over deeply and manure
liberally with rotted cow manure, fine
bone and potash in some form. Of
course, if the ground could have been
turned over and the barnyard manure
added last fall, all the better, adding
the bone and potash in spring, but only
a few growers thus prepare their
ground in advance. For the best re-
sults, dig out trenches twenty-four
inches deep, remove all gravel and
stones, and when filling in, add plenty
of manure. Cover the seed two to two
and one-half inches deep and do not
keep covering the little plants over as
they grow, as often advised in seed
lists, or you are sure to have stem-rot
and other troubles. Sow thinly, or
have courage to thin severely. Plants
should not stand closer than four inches
apart each way, and for exhibition
flowers they can go much wider apart
than this.
Some Oood Varieties.
A few colors only sell well in the
flower markets and it is useless to plant
too many varieties, or such as the buy-
ing public will not take kindly to. It
has always seemed to me, however,
that in variety our American markets
have a too small range in sweet peas,
and that, without admitting really un-
desirable shades, quite a few more
might be added. Growers handle what
retailers demand and their colors are
white, pink and lavender, with a few
scarlets, pink and whites and scarlets
thrown in.
For early flowering a few of the
regular forcing sorts, such as Mont
Blanc, Christmas Pink, etc., can be
grown. These are not as satisfactory,
however, outdoors as under glass. A
boiled-down list of inexpensive but
fii%t-clas8 varieties is as follows: White,
Nora Unwin and Etta Dyke; deep pi'rik,
Countess Spencer; cream pink, Mrs.
Hugh Dickson and Constance Oliver;
orange pink, Helen Lewis; lavender,
Florence Nightingale, Frank Dolby and
Asta Ohn Spencer; scarlet, King Ed-
ward Spencer; picotee-edged, Mrs. C.
W. Breadmore; blue. Captain of the
Blues Spencer; .rose, John Ingman; bi-
color, Mrs. Andrew Ireland; yellow.
Primrose Spencer.
There are each year many fine novel-
ties coming out and some of these are
great advances over varieties now in
commerce. It is well to try a few of
these each year. A few of the newer
ones which should be given a good try
out are: Barbara, Dorothy, Mrs. Cuth-
bertson, Hercules, Scarlet Emperor, Du-
plex Spencer, Charles Foster, Helen
Peirce Spencer, Marie Corelli, Pearl
Gray Spencer, Mrs. Heslington, Mrs.
W. J. Unwin.
Starting Under Glass.
In order to secure a crop outdoors
ahead of the regular sowing, it always
pays to start a batch in flats or pots
in a coldframe and later to transplant
them. This will ensure flowers fully a
fortnight ahead of those sown outdoors
and of grand quality. Do not make the
mistake common to nearly all growers
of planting too thickly. Individual
plants should not be closer than six
inches apart and a foot is better. Re-
member that these outdoor sweet peas
have a naturally branching habit from
close to the ground when given sufli-
cient space, and the wider apart they
are planted, the longer ^nd strongt
will the stems come. Three-inch pot
with two seeds each, sown now, shoul i
be planted out sometime in April, ac
cording to latitude. They should neve
have any fire , heat nor be coddled i i
any way, nor should they be allowe
to become potbound before bein r
planted out., "VV. N. Craig.
WINTEB-BIX)OMINa VABIETIES.
We are' growing sweet peas and thev
have been blooming well, but now the.v
are throwing short stems and makini;
a second growth. This is our first year
with indoor sweet peas and we do not
know enough about them to know what
we should do. The second growth is
about four feet high. The shoots start
right above . the ground and are strong.
We would like to know if this second
growth will bloom and when? We in-
tend planting tomatoes where the peas
are, but if the second growth will bloom,
we think it might pay better to leave
the peas and not plant the tomatoes.
We have been feeding them with
manure water and gave them a top-
dressing of bone meal. We shall be
thankful for any information you might
give us. J. E. & S.
The winter flowering sweet peas will
naturally send out strong shoots from
the base; and these will give you a flne
crop of flowers on much better stems
than those you now are cutting. If
they are already four feet high they
will soon be throwing buds. Feed the
peas well, now that the days are longer
and they dry out more. A top-dress-
ing of cow manure or pulverized
sheep manure, lightly forked into the
surface soil before watering, will be of
great benefit and will work much
quicker than the bone.
I doubt if you can profitably grow
peas for a long season, and it would be
well to have tomato plants in reserve
to plant your house with when the peas
show, signs of running out. C. W.

MILLANG TALKS ON TBAVELS.
Joseph A. Millang, manager of
the New York Cut Flower Co.,
who is just home from a month's
holiday in Europe, is convinced
that "Little Old New York" is
good enough for him and that the
flower shops of London and Paris have
nothing on those of Fifth avenue. "I
did see one tastefully decorated flower
shop on the Rue de la Paix," said Mr.
Millang to The Review man, "which
reminded me somewhat of McConnell's.
In London the only place that im-
pressed one particularly was the florist 's
shop in the Hotel Savoy. All the
other flower shops that I saw were
notably deficient in any attempt to
make an artistic display. They could
not compare at all with the florists'
shops of any first-class American city.
I was also disappointed in the flowers
r saw in the shops, on the streets and
in corsage bouquets at the theaters. I
presume that the most artistic work in
corsage bouquets is seen only at state
dinners and such social functions, but
those worn at the theater, the opera
and in the fashionable restaurants in
Paris and London did not compare
either in number, richness or taste with
what we see at Sherry's, Rector's and
Delmonico's, or at the Metropolitan
Opera House.
"In lilacs and bulbs the English
I eat us badly. These were a revela-
tion to me, and I have spent all my
life in the business in New York. I
was disappointed, however, in the
English roses; the only good roses I
saw were some fine Richmonds. The
Brunners offered for sale were poor.
Indeed, the florists apologized for their
roses, saying the season had been poor.
I had no opportunity to inspect the
greenhouses on the large private es-
tates, where the ba&t worlc is donp, nor
•did I get down to Kew 0a^dens, b.ut I
did see some almonds blooming out of
doors February .'5. You see I was on
a pleasure trip, and moreover I had
an attack of double quinsy on 1x17
way over and the surgeon of the
Majestic had to operate on my throat,
so I was not in the best condition for
sight-seeing.
"In Paris the flowers are peddled
along the curb by old women; they
do not solicit you to buy; and they are
all old. In London also flowers are
peddled on the streets, much as they
are here, except that the peddlers are
less offensive.
"I ran into a London particular fog
which lasted four days. I had, of
course, heard of and read of them, but
nothing except an actual experience
with one will give any idea of their
dismal, depressing effect. London and
Paris have their good points, but after
all, as a place to liv<{ in, 'Little Old
New York ' is good enough for me. ' '

post only 17 cents. He thinks the trade
is not giving sufficient attention to the
economy of the new method of ship-
ping.

A POOR CABNATION CROP.
Our carnations are not doing well and
we shall be glad to have any sugges-
tions you can offer as to the cause of
the trouble. The plants look healthy
and have a good green color, but are
standing still or making only a little
growth. Our soil was from a compost
pile made in April, and containing one-
third cow manure to two-thirds thick
sod. It was turned twice and used in
September, when it was well rotted.
Was that compost too rich to use, with-
out any additional loam? Our varieties
are Enchantress, C. W. Ward, White
Perfection and Harlowarden. The few
flowers we have are of good size, with
strong stems, except the flowers from
White Perfection, which are poor and
weak, with the buds coming deformed.
A green growth on the soil has been
troublesome, but we have given, since
September, two or three applications of
lime and two or three applications of
wood ashes. One application of wood
ashes contained a mixture of bone meal,
but as the roots have not half filled
the benches they cannot need feeding,
and we have given no liquid manure.
We are running the houses cool, be-
tween 50 and 55 degrees, with fresh air
every day. Our only insect pest has
been red spider, and we are able to con-
trol it with force of water. During con-
tinuously cloudy days in the fall, when
the spiders were more troublesome, we
tried granulated sugar and arsenic,
mixed with water to a syrup and
diluted. It did not kill the red spiders
and it badly burned the foliage, be-
cause arsenic does not combine chem-
ically with sugar, and in the free state
it is a dangerous remedy. How early
could we put those carnation plants out-
doors, in this New Jersey climate? We
have plenty of ground and we use the
benches for crops for Memorial day.
G. V. W.
Your letter discloses two bad fea-
tures, but I am not prepared to say
that they are altogether responsible for
your troubles. Two-thirds sod and one-
third cow manure is not a good propor-
tion for mixing your compost. I would
say one-fourth to one-fifth cow manure
and the balance sod, cut four to five
inches deep, would be better. The pro-
portion you have would have a ten-
dency to produce a rank, grassy growth.
You have applied lime or wood ashes
about six times since last fall. That
is much more than is necessary, and
the excess could not have a beneficial
effect on the plants. I seldom find that
more than three applications are re-
quired in the whole season.
As already stated, these factors may
have aided in bringing on the condi-
tion in which you find your plants, but
I doubt whether they are entirely re-
sponsible. It would not be practical to
transplant these plants to the open
ground. It would entail a lot of labor,
and I doubt whether the returns would
warrant the expense. A. F. J. B.
BUINED BY SPIDEB.
I am sending you some carnation
plants. The variety is Enchantress.
Kindly tell me the trouble. I am spray-
ing for red spider, but my pressure is
poor and my benches too wide, seven
feet, so it is hard to fight any pests
that may appear. Kindly advise me
what to do. F. H. D.
The specimens forwarded were liter-
ally covered with red spider and if all
your plants are as badly infested as
these there is nothing you can do but
to throw them out. It is too late in the
season to try to rid them of the pest
and to get another crop of blooms from
them. A F. J. B.
CABNATION BUST.
Enclosed you will find some carna-
tion leaves which are spotted. This is
my first year in growing carnations.
They were doing well until a week ago.
They have bloomed well and the plants
have looked fine. Can you tell me the
cause, and what will stop it? I have
used Grape Dust; is there anything bet-
ter? B. B. C.
The specimen? forwarded were cov-
ered with the common carnation rust.
The only way to rid your plants of it is
to pick off the worst of it and then
keep the plants dusted with Grape Dust
or some such preparation. As the sea-
son advances and the sun increases in
strength, it will give less trouble.

SOME MINNEAPOLIS SKETCHES.
When the S. A. F. executive com-
mittee met at Minneapolis a few days
ago, the Minneapolis newspapers gave
them considerable attention, the car-
toonists finding an abundance of ma-
terial. Eeproduced herewith is one of
the pencil sketches by the cartoonist
of the Minneapolis Journal. The trade
at large will enjoy it as much as did the
gentlemen portrayed. There would be
no trouble in recognizing Harry Bun-
yard and John Evans without the in-
scriptions. President Farquhar also
might be guessed at, but the best
friends of August Poehlmann and W.
F. Kasting will have difficulty in be-
lieving that they were the subjects of
the sketches to which their names are
affixed.

HOOSIEBS VISIT FOET WAYNE.
March 4 the writer journeyed, with
several others, up to the metropolis of
northern Indiana, where the Indiana
State Florists' Association was the
guest of W. J. & M. S. Vesey for the
day. The Vesey establishment is well
known throughout the central west for
fine mums staged at all the principal
exhibitions. This reputation for high
quality stock drew a fairly large crowd,
in spite of inclement weather. Those
who braved the weather were well re-
paid for the trip.
The crowd was assembled at the An-
thony hotel, where dinner was served.
Here we were met by the genial Judge
and his two sons, Wm. J., Jr., and Rich-
ard, who made everyone comfortable.
Here also was held the meeting of the
association.
The day's packing had just been fin-
ished when we reached the greenhouse,
so we did not get to see a great deal of
the cut stock, which is always inter-
esting. The empty cooling room was
accepted as good proof that the demand
's good. A wide range of stock is being
J-Town here, more so than seetns to be
the fashion on the large places these
'ays. This is accounted for by the fact
that many retailers are being supplied
with practically all the stock needed.
The first houses entered were two,
:»bout 25x100, filled with orchids. Nat-
urally the bulk of these are cattleyas
'>f the several varieties. This is univer-
sally considered the commercial orchid,
and no doubt it is, but what a welcome
lolief are the pretty dendrobiums, of
\vhich there were a few in bloom! Mr.
^'esey pointed out some new growths
'oming on and they certainly have fine
prospects ahead. This being a rather
"ew department on the place, they are
"aturally enthusiastic over it.
IHILIP C. SCHUPP.
IT is an old saying that the man who rides a hobby is the worker who never feels
a strain — the hobby affords the necessary relaxation from the cares of business.
F. C. Schupp's hobby is Indian arrow heads. It is said his collection is one of
the finest in America. Starting with the bits of flint picked up in the vicinity of
his home, for the Budlong greenhouses in Chicago stand on what once was In-
dian camping grounds, he has added to his collection until it represents most of
the important tribes of the middle west. Mr. Schupp is manager of the selling
and financial end of the J. A. Budlong estate and this winter has had also much
of the responsibility for the greenhouses, because of the ill health of A. H. Bud-
long, but a trip to the Indian mounds of Kentucky has put him into fine form
for the heavy spring work.
From here we went into the rose sec-
tion. Mostly the Killarneys are grown.
Mr. Vesey is enthusiastic over My
Maryland, which he says has paid them
perhaps the biggest returns of any va-
riety on the place. Several beds had
plants which were in their fifth year
and were coming on with a fine crop,
after having had a short rest. Rhea
Reid is another favorite here. This is
one of the few places where this variety
has succeeded under glass, but it has
done well here from the first. Sun-
burst was being worked up into cut-
tings as fast as could be. It promises
to be a great favorite here.
Mr. Vesey is a strong champion of
Glories^ and he thinks equally well of
KWhit^ejpondcr. Ho has both in tine
Wape. ^Enchantress and White Enchan-
tress are both grown extensively and
well, but the first two will be given
considerable space next year which now
is occupied by the latter two. Rose-
pink Enchantress will be dropped. In
red. Victory and Delhi are grown. Vic-
tory will be dropped and St. Nicholas
grown in its place. Delhi has given a
large cut of blooms, but lacks in color.
Rosette will be increased considerably
next season.
A fine house of snapdragons will just
about give a cut for Easter. Mr. Vesey
grows these from seed annually, instead
of propagating from cuttings, as most
of us do. Except for the wide varia-
tion of colors, this seems to be a good
way to handle them. Mr. Vesey says
they sell, and that is all that is needed.
A fine bed of smilax was seen. A large
quantity of lilies is being brought on'
for Easter and they will make it just
right. Gardenias are to be given a
trial here next season. A nice batch of
young plants, now in 3-inch pots, is
coming on.

A VINE-OOVEEED AECHWAY.
The vine-covered archway here illus-
trated is one of the many features of
interest in Bona Venture cemetery, at
Savannah, 6a. The photograph was
taken by H. J. Corfield, a landscape
gardener who has a wide acquaintance
in the trade.
Many florists will recognize the vine
as Bhynchospermum jasminoides, though
its strictly * correct botanical name
seems to be Trachelospermum jasmi-
noides. In every-day English it is called
the star jasmine, for it has star-shaped,
five-lobed flowers, which are white and
deliciously fragrant. It is also fre--
quently referred to as the Malayan or
African jasmine. Moreover, in the
southern states, where it is a favorite
best when supported on a large, strong
trellis, not much less than ten feet in
height. In favorable conditions it is
a strikingly handsome vine, even when
devoid of flowers, and in its blooming
period it is often almost an unbroken
mass of white. It commences to bloom
in April and continues in flower till
late in May. The blossoms are pendu-
lous, about an inch across, and grow
in clusters of five or six.
In the north it is popular as a speci-
men plant in greenhouses and conserv-
atories, where it is commonly grown in
large tubei in the form of dense bushes,
attaining both d, height and width of
three or four feet. It requires several
years, however, to develop specimens
of that character. It is propagated by
means of cuttings, preferably taken
with a heel in the spring, from half-
ripened wood. In order to obtain satis-
factory results, it is necessary to give
the young plants rather careful treat-
ment, keeping them in a warm house
and promoting a vigorous growth. When
the plants are well established, how-
ever, they should be transferred to a
cooler house, and during summer they
may be plunged outdoors in partial
shade. They should be watered freely
in hot weather, but kept on the dry side
during the winter.
THE DAHLIA, THE FLOWER.
[A paper by J. T. Fltchett, of Janesvllle, WU.,
for presentation before the Western Dahlia and
Gladiolus Association, at Chicago, February 7,
1913.]
The dahlia is not only a flower, but
the flower. No other flower can give
such a wide range of form and color,
or such a long season of bloom as the
dahlia. In fact, some growers are be-

outdoor plant, it is familiarly known
as the Confederate jasmine.
It is a tender, evergreen plant, a
native of the southern part of China.
In this country, therefore, it is not
suitable for outdoor cultivation except
in the extreme south, where it flourishes
ginning to try winter growing for
flowers as well as to propagate plants.
First mentioned by Francisco Her-
nandez in 1657 as a single flower grow-
ing in Mexico, it was later introduced
into Europe under the name Dahlia
variabilis, from the wonderful ^se
with which it could be changed in
form.
The show and fancy types were soon
developed to 9. wonderful degree, and
were the only forms known until com
paratively recent years. Within the
last two decades marvelous advance
ment has been made in producing ne^^
forms that are scarcely recognized as
descended from the formal * * daylies '
of our grandmother's garden. Some
thing over 6,000 varieties are now-
recognized by the various national
societies, classified as follows:
The Types.
Cactus — Petals long, narrow, edge
•rolled back.
Decorative — Petals and flower flat,
full to center.
Show and Fancy — Bound, ball-shaped
flowers, petals quilled; lines are not
very definitely drawn between these
two classes. They are the oldest form
of dahlia.
Pompon — Miniature flowers, mostly
of show and fancy type, although a
few cactus varieties are now being
introduced.
Peony-flowered — Large, loose flowers,
two or three rows of petals, open
center.
Single — Only one row, usually eight
petals.
Collarette — Like single, with a collar
of small petals at base of large ones,
usually of a contrasting color.
Anemone — Two rows of flat petals
surrounding the center of small tubular
petals.
American growers have done their
share in bringing out good varieties.
Frank Smith, originated in Philadel-
phia over seventy-five years ago, is still
the best selling fancy, while A. D.
Livoni is the most popular florists'
pink show. Ruth Forbes, pink, is de-
scribed by the secretary of the German
Dahlia Society as the first American
cactus variety. Our president has to
his credit a number of good varieties,
among them Foster Barnes, a large
white show. Thompson's Alexis, Jr.,
is a small counterpart of Grand Duke
Alexis, with a good stem. Koerner's
single white. Snow Storm, and rose
pink collarette are both good.
Some Good Sorts.
Wonderful effects can now be pro-
duced for table decorations with the
almost endless variety of colors in the
cactus group. The more formal deco-
rative and show varieties, such as Mrs.
Roosevelt, Cuban Giant, Souvenir de
Gustave Doazon, Le Colosse, Yellow
Colosse, Dreer's White, W. W. Eawson,
•leanne Charmet and Delice are espe-
cially good for church decorations.
Nothing could be better than Queen
Wilhelmina, white peony-flowered, for
a spray. Philadelphia, Bertha von
Suttner, Lord Milner, Germania and
Mrs. Seybold are all good. Geisha is
perhaps the most striking flower of
the group, with its long twisted petals
of oriental red and yellow.
Culture.
Any soil that will grow corn will
grow dahlias. Too rich ground means
rank foliage and late flowers. Give
plenty of sunlight, avoid shade and
spraying the foliage with cold water.
At planting time divide to one eye on
a division and cover four or five inches
deep. Constant cultivation will accom-
plish more than any amount of water-

ing to keep the plants growing through
dry weather.
When cutting the blooms, trim off
surplus foliage and dip the base of the
stem in boiling water for a half minute,
then put in cold water for an hour oi
more. Treated in this way, you will
not have trouble with flowers wilting
when shipped.
The writer is not a prophet nor the
son of a prophet, but he ventures the
assertion that the next ten years will
mark a large increase in the use of the
dahlia as a cut flower, and also the
growing of a number of varieties under
glass for winter use.
THE SMALL GBOWEB.
[An essay by H. Klelnstarink, of Louis-
ville, awarded third prize In a contest con-
ducted by the Kentucky Society of Florists.]
As a member of your society and
your craft, and doing business on a
small scale — in plainer words, being a
one-horse florist and grower — I am
naturally confronted with the problem
of making the most of it, without inter-
fering or clashing with others in the
same boat.
If we look back, say twenty years,
we shall find that there is as much
difference as night and day between
the way business was done then and
the way it is done today. Not only
do we have to compete with enormous
establishments, or factories of cut
flowers and plants, which, at the de-
mand for more and choicer stock,
sprang up and are still springing up
like mushrooms after a spring storm,
but we have to take account of, and
coax, the new and sometimes no bet-
ter styles and fashions which make
yesterday's stock a total loss on our
bands today.
Difficult Competition.
It would be impossible for the small
grower to compete successfully with
the large one, on account of the lat-
ter's greater capital and smaller cost
of producing and marketing his prod-
ucts. And that is not all, but here is
the main drawback in a small place:
While his big brother is contracting
to deliver so many thousands of flow-
ers a day, and will stand by his con-
tracts even if he has to go into the
open market some few times in the
year and buy there himself, the small
fellow is only cutting a few every day,
and of course be cannot contract for
even that small number; or, if he does,
he will soon find that he has over-
reached himself, being unable, through
several causes, to live up to his con-
tract. If, in times of plenty, he totes
his cut around to the several stores,
the proprietors of these will either tell
him they do not want the flowers, or
will offer such a ridiculously low price
for them that he feels discouraged in-
'leed, and begins to cry "Murder!"
and "Help!" saying the business is
going to the bow-wows, and such
things.
Time to Face About.
Now is the time, in the writer's opin-
ion, to change front entirely, as soon
as We find out that we are on the
wrong track, and try it from a differ-
ent standpoint. Most of the small
growers have their greenhouses in the
city's outskirts, and have, if they only
knew it, a market right at their door
without much trouble, which can be
added to every year to the satisfaction
of everybody.

Gentlemen:
During the past year I paid you $18.20 for a
half inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department
of The Review, I received through this small advertisement,
from January 1, 1913, to December 31, 1913, orders to the
amount of $566.00. They cane by mail and telegraph from
New York to San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis.
Since I allowed the senders 20^, the record is as follows:
Total value of orders $566.00
Less 30f allowed senders 113.20
Net value of orders. : . 453.80
Here is an addition of $452.80 in business which
could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of
only $18.20.
Since my advertisement appeared only in The Review
it goes to show what the retail florists through the country
lose if they do not use this medium of advertising. It also
goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big "P"
but that it has three more big "R's" - Readers - Reliability •
ResultsI
Yours respectfully.
Not only is there an increasing de-
mand for cut flowers in every shape
or form, but the plant business is end-
less, and nearly all through the year
there are some kinds of plants that we
can handle with both ease and profit.
Several years ago, when I was visiting
a brother florist, a lady customer came
in and wanted a floral design made,
but my neighbor told her he sold only
at wholesale. Here is where he was,
in my opinion, altogether wrong. In
this manner he lost a trade which by
this time would have made him inde-
pendent of the stores and of his big
brother with 100,000 or mote feet of
glass.
Some small growers tell me, * ' Oh, it
is too much trouble to bother with
these little orders, and then it is so
much work to have so many different
kinds of flowers and plants to grow. ' '
Of course it is trouble and worry, but
it pays, and any trouble that pays
ought to be good enough for everybody.
A Gk)od Betail Trade.
Where a small grower now has only
carnations or something else on his
benches, and cannot make them pay
after a certain time, let him have some-
thing that will pay him better, perhaps
not the first year, but surely in a short
while, ^et the people once know you
have something good for gale in your
greenhouses, and they will flock to
your place and buy it.
There is nothing that can compare,
for the small grower, with a good re-
tail trade. Once he has that, and at-
tends to his business right, he can
sleep without worrying about tomor-
row. A great many people who live in
the outskirts of our cities, being mostly
of moderate means, are glad when they
can call up a florist in their neighbor-
hood and order cut flowers or designs
or anything in the floral line, and
know they will not have to pay quite
such high prices as in the regular
flower store, since by buying from the
small grower they miss paying the
profits of the middleman. In this way
we would not hear so much about sur-
plus flowers, but would let the whole-
saler and store man fight this out be-
tween themselves.
Of course a great many more points
could be brought out, but it will prob-
ably be better to bring these out in the
general discussion, in which I hope all
the members will join with great good
will and with no hard feelings, and so
increase the knowledge that is so nec-
essary in our craft.

THE INDIANA VIEWPOINT.
[A talk l).v \V. .T. Vesey. Jr.. before the IniTlana
State Florists' Association at Fort Wavue, March
4, 191.x ]
The subject for the remarks I am
going to make has been the absorbing
topic among the allied trades for the
last year, and no doubt most of those
present have given a good deal of
thought to this topic, namely publicity.
This association was organized for
the same reason that other clubs and
associations were organized, the ad-
vancement of the members ' interests.
We have secured advancement in that
we know how to grow stock better,
keep down disease, and many other
things of note. But the times are
changing, and so must we change. Mil-
lions of feet of new glass have been
erected in the last year, which means
a far greater supply of flowers than
ever before. As j'et nothing has been
done toward creating a demand to con-
sume the increased supply. Well, why
not now?
I might say we are a fraternity, and
a fraternity is only strong when its
members pull together. We want to
plan our business interests together, or,
in other words, we want cooperation.
We want to especially study what in-
terests the public. The road to suc-
cess lies in serving the public, and this
can only be done by all taking a com-
mon interest in the forward movement.
The S. A. F. and Publicity.
This association cannot hope to ac-
complish all that we would wish. Our
strongest hope lies with the national
society. It is to the S. A. F. that we
should lend our help and attention, as
it is mainly through this body that we
can hope to draw the attention of the
public to our wares. Let us consider
what the S. A. F. means to the average
florist. It means a vacation, a picnic
and a general good time. But those of
you who have attended the last two
conventions have found a different at-
mosphere prevalent. Questions of ex-
ceeding importance have come before
the convention and been acted on. The
florists who attend these present-day
conventions are thinkers. They have
come to realize that the business is not
80 easy as it used to be.
At the last convention, held in Chi-
cago, a publicity committee was ap-
pointed. Through some mistake or
oversight, this committee was given
no power to act, inasmuch as there was
no sum of money set aside for its use.
I believe a fair sum will be forthcom-
ing this year. The purpose of this com-
mittee was to get out such advertise-
ments and readin'g matter as will at-
tract public attention in the desired
direction; to send copy to representa-
tive fities for all leading flower days,
such as Christmas, Easter and Thanks- :
giving; to send copy which will eventu-
ally make national flower days of Lin-
coln's and McKinley's birthday, St.
Valentine's day and of Mothers' day.
There are unlimited possibilities for
this committee. It could suggest to
the political parties of this country that
they should have a special flower em-
blem. Just stop and think what this
one item would mean to our business.
They could reach the women of this
country through such mediums as House
and Garden, Country Life, Ladies'
Home Journal, Woman's Home Com-
panion and numerous other magazines.
They could teach the women how to
care for plants in the house and gar-
den, when to sow seeds, the varieties,
how to water, and numerous other cul-
tural details. Do you not think this
would awaken a widespread interest in
our trade?
Civic Improvement.
One of our big opportunities is the
awakening of so many cities to civic

improvement. This item alone is of
prime importance to us in that it
arouses public interest in the beautiful
things we grow, which could probably
be aroused in no other manner. Civic
improvement I spell with four letters:
H-o-p-e.
Another matter of recent date and of
vast importance to us is the parcel
post. The parcel post has opened un-
limited territory for us to work in.
Seedsmen can now quote prices in their
catalogues on goods delivered to the
door. This is an attractive #38ue to
the average catalogue buyer. If the
people learn to buy from the seedsmen
through the parcel post, why not from
the cut flower man?
You have all noticed the lack of at
tendance at flower shows. Why is this?
You all know the answer. The shows
have not been advertised in the man
ner and places that attract public at-
tention. The public has not been made
to realize what it has missed by pass-
ing by a flower show. We must surely
realize that a flower show is one of our
fortes. Why go to the trouble of get- i
ting up a flower show, with all of the ]
provoking problems, and not properly
advertise it? I attended the National
Flower Show in Boston and from the
size of the crowds each day anyone
could tell that a great deal of thought
and attention had been given to adver-
tising. The building was exceedingly
large, the crowds so large one could
hardly force a way through. Did it
pay? Well, rather!
The National Flower Show. '
Gentlemen, a big opportunity is com-
ing to bring the trade under public no-
tice. That opportunity will be April
5 to 12, at New York. A wise selec-
tion was made when the National
Flower Show committee was chosen.
Every member is energetic and doing
all in his power to make it a success.
And I think it will be. It has been
largely advertised all through the east.
The entries are large, but they should
be larger, and would be if the florists
realized what an excellent chance they
have to impress the public. All of you
gentlemen should attend the show if it
is possible to do so, for you will re-
ceive value for value.
A small way to advertise is over-
looked by nearly every florist; namely,
a buttonhole bouquet. Perhaps you do
not realize the value of this small item.
How easy it is to stop at the refriger-
ator and select a nice carnation or rose
and put it in the buttonhole before
going downtown! We all do it at a
florists' gathering, but why not at
home? I am like the 'rest of you; I
hate to wear a flower, simply because
no one else does. Nevertheless we are
overlooking one item of advertising.
I think I'll advertise from now on.
Showing the Way,
A florists' paper has taken up the
matter of publicity in this way: In a
January issue it went to a great deal
of trouble and expense to show the
trade how to advertise properly for St.
Valentine's day. It went still farther
and printed numerous photographs re-
garding new modes in the arrangement
of boxes and decorations for St, Valen-
tine's day. That issue no doubt helped
a great many florists along this par-
ticular line. It is a good start in the
right direction and I hope they keep it
up.
The New York Florists' Club has
taken up the question of publicity and
from all reports the proposition seems
to be moving along nicely. That is
what all the florists' clubs in the coun-
try should do. And this will be the
final outcome, as the florists are awaken-
ing to the fact that something should
be done toward creating a demand.
Covington, Ky,— W, R, Miller's Sons,
who have a range of seventeen green-
houses at Oakland and Wallace avenues,
have opened a retail store at Eighth
street and Madison avenue, one of the
best locations in towit. It is a tasteful,
attractive store and the public is show-
ing appreciation of it.

, , PLANTING GLADIOLI. . ,.,
Will you please answer the following
questions in regard to the culture of
gladioli here, in northwestern Ohio?
What is the diflference between soft and
hard-shell bulbletsf Will bulblets from
planting stock do as well as those from
blooming bulbs? I have been told that
fresh stable manure should never be
used on land intended to be planted to
gladioli. Part of the land on which I
will plant mine for the coming season
was manured last season; the other part
has not been manured for several years
and is not as rich as it should be. How
would you manage so as to get good re-
sults? Would you use commercial fer-
tilizer? If so, how much and what
kind? What effect does fresh manure
have on them? My soil is yellow sand
and rather light. If I plant America,
Mrs. Francis King and other varieties
side by side in rows, will they run out,
or should each be planted separately?
I shall appreciate an answer to these
questions through The Eeview.
, ' . . F- J. K.
So-called soft-shell gladiolus bulblets
are not really bulblets, but small bulbs
of one year's growth from bulblets.
Bulblets from planting stock will grow
the same as from blooming bulbs.
Fresh stable manure spread on
ground in winter or early spring is not
harmful. It would be fully as good as
most commercial fertilizers, if not bet-
ter. Fresh manure in contact with the
bulbs, however, is too heating.
Different varieties of gladioli will not
"run out" or get mixed when planted
closely, if carefully labeled, but it
would be better to have them in sep-
arate rows. A. H. Austin Co.
NEW YOBK.
The Market.
The exceedingly cold weather of the
last week — the thermometer register-
ing 10 degrees, with a gale from the
northwest — has burned up coal and had
a depressing effect on the demand, thus
affecting the growers unfavorably, both
in cost of production and in diminution
■of sales. Violets in particular, being
distinctly a corsage flower, have been
<Jull and hard to dispose of. Quotations
range as low as 10 cents, although for
•choice single violets as much as 40
cents has been paid. But there are
not many of the 40-cent kind. The
■dullness in Cattleya Schroederse, which
is almost a drug on the market, is prob-
ably attributable partly to the same
cause. SchroedersB is quoted at 10
«ent8 to 20 cents, but an offer to take a
quantity at a shade under the market
would find acceptance. C. Trianae is in
better shape, bringing 25 cents to 40
<!ents. Fancy varieties of orchids, when
offered, bring good prices, one small
consignment of gigas selling last week
at $1 each.
Beauties are in better supply and the
advance noted last week has given way
all along the line. The general range
may be quoted at 30 cents to 60 cents
for specials, 25 cents to 30 cents for
fancies, 10 cents to 25 cents for extras,
8 cents to 12 cents for No. 1 and 1 cent
to 5 cents for No. 2. Some sales of
specially fine loog-'Stemnoec^ Beauties
nave been made above these figures, but
they are the exception. Bride and Maid
sell at 1 cent to 5 cents, with few sales
at the higher figure. Killarneys are in
plentiful supply, some selling below and
a few choice blossoms selling above the
quotations of 2 cents to 6 cents. Sun-
burst has declined to 2 cents to 10
cents, owing to oversupply. Other teas
remain unchanged at 3 cents to 10
cents. Carnations of the lower grades
are plentiful and cheap. The choice
flowers, which are scarce, bring as
much as 3 cents, but the general range
of values is from 1 cent to 2 cents.
Easter lilies are coming in freely and
have declined to 6 cents and 8 cents.
Valley has been dull ever since Decem-
ber 27. The short-stemmed flowers go
begging at $1 per hundred, while as
much as $4 is paid for exceptionally
fine stock. Gardenias are quiet. A quo-
tation of 50 cents to $2 per dozen cov-
ers the run of the market, but there
have been sales both above and below
these figures, on the one hand for im-
perfect flowers and on the other for
extra choice stock. Sweet peas have
as wide a range in quotations, 10 cents
to $1 per dozen bunches, as they have
in quality. Some that have been
sent in this week are dear at the in-
side price. Narcissi, both Paper White
and poeticus, are plentiful and cheap,
bringing from 75 cents to $2 per hun-
dred. Daisies are irregular in demand,
bringing from 35 cents to $1 per hun-
dred. Callas sell at from 60 cents to
$1.25 per dozen, with occasional sales of
large flowers at $1.50. A fairly good
demand is reported for the better
grades. Few hyacinths are offered,
but in the absence of demand the pre-
vious quotations of $1 to $1.50 per hun-
dred stand unchanged. Lilacs have
been dull here, partly because of lack
of demand and partly because of rather
heavy arrivals from Philadelphia. Sev-
eral yearts have elapsed since local
growers have had to compete with Phil-
adelphia. While quotations are 35
cents to $1 per bunch, choice bunches
have sold a little higher. Daffodils are
unchanged at 50 cents to $2 per hun-
dred. Southern daffodils have come in
during the week and have sold as low
as 3 cents per bunch and as high as
8 cents. Tulips are unchanged at $1 to
$3.00 per hundred. Freesias are not so
plentiful, but lack of demand prevents
any marked change in quotations of 10
cents to 20 cents for average quality*.
Acacia is scarce and high, the supplies
being concentrated. Asparagus and
smilax are both in good demand at fair
prices.
Club's Annual Dinner.
The twenty-sixth annual dinner of
the New York Florists' Club will be
held in the belvedere, on the roof of
the Hotel Astor, April 10. Visitors
from distant points who belong to or-
ganizations participating in the Inter-
national Flower Show will be enter-
tained as guests of the club. Subscrip-
tions from members of the club will
be accepted at $4 a plate. Each table
will provide ten seats and subscribers
are urged to send in subscriptions early,
giving the names of those with whom
they wish to be seated. Tables will be
assigned in the order in which sub-
scriptions are received. The dinner
committee is composed of John B. Nu-
gent, Jr., Eobert Koehne, Joseph S.
Fenrich, Thomas Boothe de Forest, Wal-
ter F. Sheridan and Alexander M. Mc-
Connell. Subscriptions accompanied by
checks should be sent to the secretary
of the dinner committee, Joseph S. Fen-
rich, 51 West Twenty-eighth street,
New York.
The belvedere, where the dinner is
to be held, is the most appropriate
place in New York for a florists' din-
ner. It embraces the western half of
the top of the Hotel Astor, which is
covered by an arched iron frame filled
with glass, constituting practically an
enormous greenhouse. The greenhouse
effect is further carried out by a taste-
ful arrangement of growing plants high
up in the lofty arches which enclose
the room.
Various Notes.
John Young reports many orders for
trade tickets to the International
Flower Show. These tickets, good for
any day of the show, are sold to the
trade at 25 cents each and where 100
are bought the name of the buyer will
be printed on the ticket free of cost.
William Elliott & Sons put their
opening sale forward a week, so that
it occurred March 11, instead of St.
Patrick's day, as they had originally
intended.
Morris De Leeuw has opened a store
at 1902 Seventh avenue, near One Hun-
dred and Fifteenth street.
March 15 the regular monthly ex-
hibition of the Horticultural Society of
New York will be held at the American
Museum of Natural History. The only
class open to non-commercial growers
is one in which a silver medal is of-
fered for the best new rose not yet
in commerce. At 4 p. m. Edwin Jen-
kins will lecture on "Koses, Outside
Jfnd Under Glass."
Among the visitors in town last week
were: Barney Myers, of Buffalo; Harry
Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia; Patrick
Welch and Henry M. Eobinson, of Bos-
ton; E. W. McLellan, of San Francisco;
James Heacock, of Wyncote, Pa., and
Emil Bollinger, of South Bethlehem.

New York. They were shipped March
1 and arrived March 7 in remarkably
good shape. Mr. McLellan has 200,000
plants and thinks it possible that if the
shipping arrangements are carefully
looked after he may be able to place
California roses on the New York mar-
ket in salable shape. He will continue
his experiments until the question of
the feasibility of his plan is decided
by experience one way or the other.
A party of members of the New York
and New Jersey Plant Growers' Asso-
ciation made a tour of inspection
through some of the leading greenhouses
in and around Brooklyn February 26
and found the stock generally well
grown and in good condition for the
Easter trade. Twelve members started
from the Atlantic avenue terminus of
the subway at 9 a. m., but the number
grew to twenty-one before the tour was
brought to a close by darkness, at
Whitestone. The party included A. L.
Miller, A. Zeller, George Scott, Harry
Fraser, Carl A. Woerner, J. H. Sperry,
Louis Schmutz, Jr., and John Appel, of
Brooklyn; Anton Schultheis, of Col-
lege Point, N. Y. ; Louis and Ed-
die Dupuy, of Middle Village, N. Y.;
Rudolph Roehrs and Julius Roehrs, Jr.,
of Rutherford, N. J.; Hermann Stein-
hofif, Henry Baumann and Charles En-
gel, of West Hoboken, N. J.; Herman
Schoelzel and August Menne, of New
Durhain, N. J.; J. H. Fiesser, of North
Bergen, N. J.; Albert Winnefeld, of
Hackensack, N. J. The plants of the
following growers were visited: Charles
Zeller & Sons, Louis Schmutz, Carl A.
Woerner, Louis Schmutz, Jr., Peter
Wagner, the John Scott estate, A. L.
Miller, Fred Marquardt, John Boettjer,
John Miesem, Anton Schultheis, Louis
Dupuy, William Pankok, the Hinode
Florist Co., and Gerald Dreyer.
Herman Warendorflf, in the Ansonia,
on Broadway, is making a specialty of
bulbous stock, lilies and flats trimmed
with French crepe paper for Easter.
His advance orders indicate a satisfac-
tory season.
Alfred Donaldson, with J. K. Allen,
is receiving the congratulations of his
friends, having recently become a bene-
dict.
Carl Jurgens, of Newport, was a re-
cent visitor in the trade.
The marriage of Arthur Clarke, son
of Marshall Clarke, and Miss Frances
Loud has just been announced,.althougk
the wedding took place about a year '
ago.
P. M. McGovern, Ninth avenue and
Nineteenth street, Brooklyn, has a
house filled with geraniums in bloom
which were grown to order for St. Bar-
tholomew's Parish house. East Forty-
second street. New York. These are to
be distributed by the Parish house
among the children of the parish the
day before Easter. Several thousands
of blooming plants are required. This
offers an excellent suggestion for work-
ing up a special demand.
The city authorities have issued an
order for the clearing of the sidewalks
on West Twenty-eighth street from
Broadway to a point 100 feet west of
Sixth avenue. C. A. M.
OBITUABY.
Nathan D. Pierce.
Nathan D. Pierce, one of the leading
flotists and nurserymen of Rhode
Island, a former member of the gen-
eral assembly and one of Warwick's
most prominent citizens, died at his
home in Norwood March 7. Death
was due to pulmonary tuberculosis,
from which he had been a sufferer for
over a year.
^Nathan Dexter Pierce was born in
Providence February 2, 1850, and re-
ceived his education in the public
schools. In April, 1862, he went to Nor-
wood to live with his parents, his
father having purchased a farm there.
When a young man he became actively
interested in politics, being a staunch
Republican. He was elected a member
of the Warwick town council in 1885,
serving as a member of that body for
three years. In 1888 he was elected a
member of the house of representatives
and was reelected for six successive
terms prior to 1895. For several years
after his successor was elected, Mr.
Pierce served as clerk of the corpora-
tion committee of the house.
At the age of 22, Mr. Pierce began his
career as a nurseryman, starting on a
small lot set aside for him by his
father. For years he was one of the
most prominent members of the Florists '
and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island
and the Rhode Island Horticultural So-
ciety. He was a member of the first
board of managers of the State Agri-
cultural School, now the Rhode Island
State College.
Mr. Pierce was twice married, rie
was first wed in 1872 to Miss Ida M.
Congdon, of Riverpoint, who died in
1892. Of this union a son was born.
His second marriage was to Miss Ida
H. Sayles, of Providence, who, with
two daughters, survives him.
Jos. A. Bolgiano.
Joseph Ault Bolgiano, for many years
head of the seed firm of J. Bolgiano
& Son, Baltimore, Md., died March 1
at the home of his son-in-law. Dr. J.
Burch Joyce, in Baltimore, at the age
of 77 years. He had been in failing
health for a long time, due to a com-
plication of diseases, but his condition
was not supposed to be serious until a
few hours before his death. . He was
born in Baltimore, December 6, 1835.
Having finished his education in the
public schools of Baltimore, he entered
the seed establishment founded by his
father. A few years later he was taken
into the firm. At an early age he mar-
ried Miss Mary Elizabeth Waltjjn, who
died in* 1893. He retired aboutj^fteen .,.
yeali ago, turning his business pver to i| :
two sons, who now conduct it. He is T
survived by a daughter, Mrs. Flora I
Joyce, and five sons, John, Frank W., '
Dr. Walton, Roland and Charles J. Bol
giano. A sister, Mrs. Charles J. Tay
lor, also survives.
Mr. Bolgiano was a director of sev
eral large financial institutions, the sec-
ond president of the Young Men'^
Christian Association of Baltimore and
one of the most prominent Methodists
in the south.
Henry Augustine.
Capt. Henry Augustine, nationally
known as' a veteran nurseryman, of
Normal, 111., was instantly killed Marcli
8 by being struck by the south bound
Alton Limited as it passed the Normal
depot platform.
Henry Augustine was born in Lan-
caster county, Pennsylvania, July 25,
1840. The family removed later to
Canton, 111., when Henry Augustine
was 17 years old. He was engaged in
farming there when the Civil war broke
out, and enlisted in Company A, Fifty-
fifth Illinois, as sergeant. On August
I, 1862, he was commissioned second
lieutenant and was later promoted to
tlie first lieutenancy and in 1864 was
made captain of Company A. He later
returned to his home and recruited a
new company, I, of the Fifty-first regi-
ment, which he commanded as captain.
In this capacity he served until Novem-
ber, 1865, when he was honorably dis-
charged.
At the close of the Civil war, Capt.
Augustine engaged in the drug busi-
ness, but owing to failing health he
gave up his store and embarked in the
nursery and farming business near Pon-
tiac. In 1876 he removed to Normal
and established the nursery business
which has since continued under his
name. It was one of the earliest nur-
series in that part of the country, and
became widely known throughout the
west. Two of the best known of the
varieties which he introduced are the
Sudduth pear and the Snyder black-
berry. His ability and prominence as
a fruit grower were recognized at the
World's Columbian Exposition in 1893
by his being made superintendent of
the Illinois fruit exhibit. He was pres-
ident of the American Association of
Nurserymen in 1892.
Capt. Augustine was married to Miss
Margaret E. Gapen March 17, 1869.
There is one son, Archie M. Augustine,
who has for some years been asso-
ciated with his father in the ifursery
business. Capt. and Mrs. Augustine
also adopted a daughter, Ora, who be-
came the wife of Judge Wesley M.
Owen, formerly in the supreme court
in the Panama Canal Zone.
The funeral was held at Grace
church, Bloomington, Tuesday, March
II, and was largely attended.
Jolui A. Payne.
John A. Payne, who represented the
Foley Mfg. Co., of Chicago, and the
Simonds Heating & Specialty Co., of
Grand Rapids, in New York, died of
heart failure, Monday, March 3, at his
residence in that city. Mr. Payne left
a widow, a son and daughters. The
funeral took place Thursday, March 6.
Nowata, Okla. — Cass Lanning, pro-
prietor of Lanning's Seed House, says
he is giving the Toley Mfg. Co., Chi-
cago, an order fdr a^JJMBOThouse, believ-
ing that he can run a fiwi^ts ' business
in connection with the seed business
and make it all go nicely together.

The Florists' Review
49
Southington, Coon. — Only one of the
florists in the town, Olson & Lunden,
filed a return with the assessors last fall
and now the others' find themselves
rated far too high, at $14 per square
foot, under an old law from which they
have as yet found no appeal.
Davenport, la. — The Davis Floral Co.,
which is a separate corporation from
the J. W. Davis Co., but allied with
it, is building a range of four Lord
& Burnham houses each 40x300, to be
devoted to cut flowers and pot plants.
The location is just across the street
from the big J. W. Davis plant, where
cucumbers and tomatoes are the prin-
cipal crops.
Alvin, Tex. — A new firm has been
organized here, under the name of the
Alvin Jasmine & Floral Co. The pro-
prietors are W. L. Heller, of this place,
and S. Lomanitz, of Mexico City. The
business will be under the direct charge
of Mr. Heller, who in 1910 was man-
ager and junior member of Stevens &
Heller, in this town. Mr. Heller says
his firm probably has the largest one-
block jasmine farm in the country, and
the bushes are all young, vigorous and
thrifty. From present indications, he
says, the crop will be heavy and wiU
perhaps be from eight to twelve days
early.
Indiana, Pa. — Last fall the Indiana
Floral Co., as reported in The Eeview
at the time, purchased eight acres of
ground extending alongside the tracks
of the street railway, and proceeded to
erect a range of greenhouses there, for
the growing of both flowers and vege-
tables. Two of the greenhouses, each
34x150, have been completed and
stocked. A third greenhouse, to be
erected in the near future, will be used
for roses. The greater part of the land
will be devoted to truck gardening, but
the space between the greenhouses and
the tracks will be beautifully laid out
in lawns and flower beds. The firm is
also planning to install a Skinner irri-
gation system.
Wyomissing, Pa. — Ferdinand E. Heck,
who for thirty-two years was head gar-
dener for George F. Baer, of the Bead-
ing Railway Co., recently resigned that
position and is now building a residence
near the wholesale flower establishment
conducted by his sons, Harry F. and
Ferdinand Heck, in this town. He ex-
pects later to be associated in business
with his sons. Mr. Heck is a native of
Germany, but left that country thirty-
two years ago and came directly to
Reading, where he did some notably fine
landscape work on the grounds sur-
rounding Mr. Baer's home. He is one
of the best chrysanthemum growers in
this part of the state and is the pos-
sessor of several silver cups and other
awards won at flower shows. He is 65
years of age.
Albert Lea, Minn. — P. Clausen & Son,
of the Lake Shore Greenhouses, recent-
ly installed a new electric watering
system.
Olean, N. Y. — Elmer Rawlings has
just completed three new greenhouses.
He estimates that in less than two
months of the present year he has al-
ready done more business than in the
last half of 1912, though last year's
trade was anything but dull.
MiUersville, Pq* — Jacob M. Hostetter
has erected a greenhouse here and
stocked it with lettuce. The house is
of first-class construction, with concrete
walls. The heating system, which is
said to be somewhat unique in arrange-
ment, was installed according to Mr.
Hostetter 's own plans and is giving
excellent service.

Whitman, Mass. — W. B. Brown, who
combines landscape gardening and the
nursery business with the florists ' trade,
says the outlook for spring is excellent.
He has the contract for tree planting
at Kenberma park, Nantasket Beach,
as well as a number of nice orders for
public and private work at Fall Eiver,
Brockton, Eockland and other places.
Cleveland, O. — Peter Nichols, the Su-
perior Arcade florist, who was forced
into service in the Greek army in the
Balkan war while he was visiting his
former home five months ago, has writ-
ten to a friend here, enclosing a photo-
graph of himself as he appears in his
Greek uniform, and stating that he is
looking forward anxiously to the time
when he may be free to return to this
city. His wife and son, who accom-
panied him on the pleasure trip to
Athens, are living in their old home
there.
Maspetb, N. Y. — John Schmieg, re-
cently in the florists' business on Juni-
per avenue, announces that he is no
longer in the trade.
East Bridgewater, Mass. — J. K. Alex-
ander recently has built a large storage
house for dahlias, of which he claims
to be the largest grower in the world.
It has 4,680 square feet of floor space
and 11,700 cubic feet of storage room.
Princeton, HI. — George H. Jennings,
foreman, says the W. E. Trimble Green-
house Co. is preparing to add two new
houses, one 9x53 and the other 8x40.
These are for pot plants, but will be
used for propagating next year. For
next season the rose stock is to be in-
creased 4,000 plants, the varieties being
Sunburst, Milady, Killarney Queen and
American Beauty.
La Porte, Ind. — The Kaber Co. has
opened its new downtown flower store,
at 808 Jefferson avenue. The room is
exquisitely furnished and is decorated
in white and gold. The refrigerator is
especially attractive and holds ten tons
of ice. The counters are all marble-
topped. In the rear of the store is a
balcony, which is partly occupied by a
well arranged workroom. It is the in-
tention of the firm to discontinue all
sales at the greenhouses on Fox street.
Bochester, Ind. — A recent fire in the
boiler shed of the Dunn greenhouses,
conducted under lease by J. H. Shel-
ton, caused a loss of from $200 to $300
to Mrs. Dunn, the owner of the houses,
and a loss of $500 or $600 to Mr. Shel-
ton. For some years Mr. Shelton has
made the annual announcement, in the
newspapers and otherwise, that he
would give a bouquet to each person in
the city whose birthday was on the
same date as his own, February 14.
This plan has not only aided directly
in giving publicity to his business, but
has also fostered in the public mind
the idea of purchasing flowers as birth-
day gifts and there is a noticeable in-
crease in the sales for this purpose.
Camden, N. Y. — The greenhouse busi-
ness which Harvey B. Snow established
and has conducted for many years has
been sold by him to Messrs. Carl W.
and Ernest D. Brown. The Brown
brothers have purchased the green-
houses and business, Mr. Snow retain-
ing his seed business, to which he will
now give his entire attention. Carl
Brown has had experience as a land-
scape gardener in New Hampshire, as
foreman of a greenhouse in Augusta,
Me., and as foreman of greenhouses
in Houston, Texas, and several other
western cities. Ernest Brown has been
a student in the Agricultural College at
Durham, N. H., studied horticulture
and floriculture at Cornell University
and has been employed as superinten-
dent of a large estate at Wyoming,

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
Don 't think that a willingness to make
allowances on complaints of customers is
an evidence of fair dealing; quite the
contrary, it is proof that there is some-
thing wrong with the methods that per-
mit the necessity for adjustments.
Because the paper is sent only to paid
in advance subscribers, The Review sends
no subscription receipts. If the paper
comes, the dollar has been received
safely; if the paper does not come, the
remittance has not arrived.
Two well known British florists who
will attend the National Flower Show
are W. Wells, the chrysanthemumist who
was over a couple of years ago, and R.
P. Felton, the London retailer. They sail
together on the Mauretania March 22.
There are becoming so many quaran-
tine regulations aflfecting the interstate
shipment of plants and other trade com-
modities that no man can be sure he has
observed the details of the latest edicts.
Thus far the most serious burden is on
the nurserymen, but florists are beginning
to be alfected and, apparently, conditions
are likely to grow worse instead of better.
The other day an advertiser spoke of
The Review as a "western paper." The
Review has more subscribers in New York
than in any other state; Pennsylvania is
second, but New England, with less area
than either, receives more Reviews than
go to any one state anywhere in the
Union. Those who wish to be accurate in
their speech will refer to The Review as
' * the national trade paper. ' '
Steadily if slowly the trade is getting
away from the old ideas of credits and
collections. The argument that this trade
is different from other trades and calls
for different methods than are applied to
credits and collections in other lines is no
doubt true, but the differences are in the
direction of conservatism rather than
laxity. If you don't get the money why
part with your merchandise?
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
SOME PAFEB.
The white paper consumed in printing
this issue of The Review weighed 12,660
pounds, or considerably more than six
tens. Were the pages in a single copy
laid end to end it would make a strip
164 feet loHg, and the entire edition
so placed would carpet a path for 343
miles. And the number of copies
printed this week is only the regular
edition.
BIO CI.ASSIFIED QAIN.
Last week 's issue of The Review car-
ried nearly a page more Classified Plant
Ads than appeared in the heaviest issue
last season — nearly two pages more
than were in the issue of the corre-
sponding date, for the peak never
comes until about May 1.
The explanation for the strong in-
crease in the Classified Plant Ads is
the excellent returns the advertisers
have had-^the character of the classi-
fied advertisements is such that it is
impossible to do much direct solicita-
tion— all The Review can do is to await
the word of the man with the surplus
stock: first he says "Insert," and
shortly he says ' ' Cut it out, the stock
is sold." This way:
Please change our fern ad as enclosed; we have
closed out about 100,000 through your classified
ads. — Newell & Ustler, Apopka, Fla., February
27, 1913.

The Oreat Central Market.
Within the last week the market has
strengthened in some particulars and
weakened in others. Business is stead-
ily increasing. The supply as a whole
also is larger than it has been in the
last few weeks and conditions generally
are about as usually is the case in the
penultimate week of Lent.
Beauties of strictly first-class quality
continue scarce and there now is little-
hope of heavy cuts for Easter. There
are moderate quantities of imperfect.
Beauties, and they are selling at ex-
cellent prices, considering quality, be-
cause there is nothing better to be had.
Rose crops increased last week to the-
point where the retailers began special
sales, the first time roses have been
so offered since the Christmas crop
went off. This week the supply is still
further augmented, as most of the
growers appear to be coming into first-
class crop for Easter. The quality of
the roses is excellent. All grades are
abundant and excellent values are of-
fered. Of course, the bulk of the sup-
ply is Killarney and White Killarney,.
with moderate quantities of Richmond.
Mrs. Ward is in good crop with those
who have planted it. Lesser quantities-
of Rhea Reid, Radiance, Sunburst, Bul-
garie and Maryland are offered. Kil-
larney Queen is fine.
Carnations are slightly less plentiful"
than they have been and the market
has firmed on these. The fact that St.
Patrick's day falls so close to Easter
is making some difference in the. situa-
tion on white. There are th6i^ whe
say carnations are going off crop and
will not be plentiful for Easter, but
March 13, 191,3.

WE ARE BOOKING MANY ORDERS FOR
IDEALLY good Lilies will not be plentiful this Easter — too many that have been
*^ forced too hard to get them in. But our Lilies will be fine— all true Gigan-
teums, clean, healthy and even. They will run 3 to 4 flowers to the stem and will
be packed at the greenhouses in boxes of 100, for ship-
ment without rehandling. We can furnish any length
of stem your trade calls for.
Special long, fancy $15.00 per 100; $125.00 per 1000
Medium length 12.00 " " 100.00
Short 10.00 " " 80.00

FANCY ROSES
We ask retailers to order freely of our Killarney, White Killarney and
Mrs. Ward, for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by
making friends for those who buy of us. It has long been recognized that
length for length of stem our Killarneys carry the finest flowers of any in this
market. Mrs. Ward is in full crop and a splendid seller. Remember we have
a full line: Killarney, White Killarney, Ward, Richmond, Radiance,
Sunburst, Bulgaria (Mrs. Taft.)
CARNATIONS
There is an abundance of Carnations in this market, but there are not
so very many that are strictly good. It is not what you pay but what
you ^et that determines value— and the more you think about it the more
certam you are to order your Carnations of Amling.
FANCY SWEET PEAS
Long-stemmed Sweet Peas in very large quantity— can fill orders for
thousands. The longest stemmed, brightest colored, special fancy Blanche
Ferry and the new winter-blooming Spencer. Others will have Spencers

others aver that not in recent years
has there been any scarcity of carna-
tions in the spring.
Easter lilies are coming in heavily.
Evidently some of the growers are not
late. There is considerable difference
of opinion as to the probable supply
for Easter. Each of the growers under-
stands that his neighbors will be late,
but says his own lilies will be ready,
in spite of the early date of Easter.
The wholesalers are booking Easter
orders at the usual prices.
The more moderate weather condi-
tions do not appear to have helped the
violet situation; average prices ob-
tained last week usually were the low-
est of the year to date, even worse
than the prices of the week before.
Sweet peas, on the other hand, seem to
be doing better than they did a fort-
night ago. There is great variation in
the quality of the peas. Some are ex-
tremely good, while others are extreme-
ly short. The top grades seem to be
not realizing their special value with
any degree of ease; it is the medium
stock that sells best. Cattleyas are
equal to all demands.
Valley dragged last week, and doubt-
less will do so until the weddings com-
mence. Romans and freesia are about
done, and not many Paper Whites are
seen. Fewer jonquils and daffodils
come in and the market is not over-
burdened with tulips, although there
are enough. Southern outdoor bulbous
stock is not yet cutting much figure.
The green goods situation remains
unchanged.
Club Meeting.
The monthly meeting of the Chicago
Florists' Club was held March 6 at the
Union restaurant, with a good attend-
ance on hand when President French
took the chair. Various business mat-
ters were taken care of and a warm de-
bate was opened when the selection of
the official route to the Minneapolis
8. A, F. convention was brought up.
Owing to the fact that the transporta-
tion committee was not on hand to
make a report, no action was taken,
although George Asmus asked that the
selection be made between the two best
roads, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul and the Northwestern. He ex-
plained that many eastern delegations
will arrive in Chicago" with the expecta-
tion of taking the same route as the
Chicago club and said it is to the in-
terest o/ the local organization that one
of the two standard roads be the selec-
tion of the club. He strongly opposed
the Great Western line as the official

anteed. The matter was left open until
the next meeting, in order to give the
transportation committee an opportu-
nity to report its finding, when a vote
will be taken to decide the popular
choice.
Two new members were elected, Geo.
Ball, Glen Ellyn, and John Tiplady, of
Lake Forest. Andrew McAdams, the
south side retailer who recently retired
from business, was elected to honorary
membership, while the resignations of
Andrew Eobertson and A. G. Nealy
were accepted. George Asmus also
spoke on the Florists' Telegraph De-
livery Association, and pointed out
that the public has not yet been edu-
cated to the idea of sending flowers to
friends in distant cities, adding that it
is time for retailers to take steps to
work out the possibilities in this line.

LILIES
FOR EASTER
THE BEST- -THE BEST
NOW READY TO BOOK YOUR ORDER
Randall's Easter crop of Lilies is famous — everybody who ever has tried them knows that there
never are any finer and seldom any as good. For years and years Randall's Lilies have been the standard
by which all other Lilies have been judged. Some years one grower and some years another will claim to
have Lilies "as good as Randall's," but Randall's Lilies always have been acknowledged as the leader.
These are true Giganteums — the best bulbs money would buy, forced by the best grower we know. Natu-
rally, we have the best flowers. Easter is unusually early this year, and it is all the more important to
place your order with the most dependable source of supply — there will be a great many over-forced Lilies
on the market, stock that won't stand shipping. Our Lilies will be just right. They will be packed at the
greenhouses in wooden boxes of 100 flowers each. Order as many as you need — Easter is only ten
days away.
Our FERNS Are Second to None in Quality and Our Prices Always Right
ROSES
We have a jsplendid crop of Killar-
neys and Eichmond just right for Eas-
ter. None finer. All lengths of stem.
CARNATIONS
Our supply of select and fancy Car-
nations, all colors, is the largest in the
west. We are Carnation headquarters.
ORCHIDS
These Cattleyas are extra fine, from
the best western source, unapproached
for quality. A large crop ready.

The attendance of wholesalers and re-

Tholls held their close attention for
over an hour. He used a stereopticon
and gave his audience many new ideas
of how business and selling may be
made more certain in its results.
In the Record-Herald of March 5
there was a strong letter against the
congressional free seeds by Guy W.
French, president of the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club.
Harry Garland, manager of the Geo.

this week on business.
Otto Benthey is now in charge of
the George Reinberg ranges as fore-
man in place of J. E. Simpson, who has
had that position for the last two
years. The latter intends to go into
the growing end for himself in the
near future. Mr. Benthey is a brother
of F. F. Benthey, of Kyle & Foerster.
Peter Reinberg was taken home
Saturday, March 8, after his fortnight 's
sojourn in the hospital. He is pro-
gressing finely.
A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna-
tion Co., has heard from H. E. Phil-
pott, who is in England. His address
is Saracen's hotel, Ashford, Kent.
E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
years ago was heavily interested in
South Water street and now keeps in
touch with affairs there. Last week
he turned nine cars of grape fruit with-
in a couple of days at a handsome
profit.
Poehlmann Bros. Co. has taken pos-
session of the fourth floor of the build-
ing at 72 and 74 East Randolph street
for its supplies department.
A burglar entered the store of Ken-
nicott Bros. Co. the morning of March
6, but found only $5.38 in the cash
drawer, the safe being impregnable.
At Winterson's Seed Store it is re-
ported that a large number of orders,
especially for perennials, are on file
waiting the arrival of the planting sea-
son.
N. J. Wietor says that although Vic-
tory now is in excellent shape, his
preference still is for Bonfire. He notes
the spreading popularity of the variety
in a wide demand for the cuttings.
C. W. McKellar received the first of

The Batavia Greenhouse Co. will not
add any new glass this season, but will
do considerable work in the way of
putting the buUdings into the best pos-
sible shape.
The A. L. Bandall Co. says the estab-
lishment never has been so busy as
now. W. W. Bandall is on the Pacific
coast, making his second trip there
within a year.
J. H. McNeilly and W. H. Hilton,
when met March 10 in the store of
Poehlmann Bros. Co., were exchanging
experiences. Both combine flowers and
candy. One was first a confectioner,
the other first a florist. Mr. Hilton
insists that it was he who started Mc-
Neilly as a florist, and Mr. McNeilly
avers that Hilton took up candy be-
cause he saw how well it worked with
his neighbor.
Bassett & Washburn say that ship-
ping business for the last two weeks
has been unusually heavy. C. L. Wash-
burn asserts it is almost impossible to
get Beauties good enough to fill orders.
So scarce have they been that St. Louis
retailers even resorted to long distance
telephones in an effort to obtain a
few.
The newest of local retail stores is
the Williams Flower Shop, at 102 South
Wabash avenue, which was formally
opened for business March 8, with Fred
Strail as manager. Although located
downstairs, the entrance to the shop is
so arranged that it can give good dis-
play from the street and its interior
decorations are excellent, including a
well designed refrigerator. The wood-
work is of stained oak, with furnish-
ings to match.
George Economopolos reports that
the retail trade at the store of the
Alpha Floral Co. has improved during
the last ten days, with bouquets having
a big run. Bulbous stock in pans has
likewise found a good sale.
Gardenias, according to John Kruch-
ten, are in better supply than they
have been, and he hopes for even
larger cuts for Easter.
John Zecb, of Zech & Mann, is of
the opinion that there will be no more
than enough lilies to go around and
the long ones will be hard to furnish if
the orders continue to come in as strong
as in the last few days.
William Homberg, shipping manager
for J. A. Budlong, says white carna-
tions are becoming less plentiful and,
while there are enough to fill orders,
he looks for not only the white but all
others to go off crop after the big
Easter cuts.
Ganger & Bergman had an attractive
window display this week, of metrosi-
deros, Japanese maples and baskets of
English wallflowers. The latter and
some branches of forsythia, used in the
interior decorations of the Michigan
avenue store, drew the attention of all
who passed.
Henry Wittbold's forces have had a
busy time of it for the last ten days,
taking care of spring opening decora-
tions for Marshall Field & Co., Mandel
Bros., C. A. Stevens & Bros, and a
number of other State street stores.
After completing these, the force
started taking down the decorations
installed for the Clay Products show.
Joseph Foerster, of Kyle & Foerster,
says stock is cleaning up well and,
with the exception of one or two items,
the supply is growing.
Guy Eeburn, oi A. Henderson & Co.,
is reported ill and confined to the house.
Easter Ribbons — Chiffons
Buy them from the manufacturer
and at the lowest market prices.
Pine Tree ribbons stand 'way out ahead of
all other ribbons; the finish, the weave
and the silk stock stamp them ribbons of
character. The prices are no higher than
common, ordinary ribbons.
Our new booklet is ready for you and we
will be very glad to mail you copy.
Do you know of any reason why you should
not have the best ribbons and chiffons for
Easter? The best line is the Pine Tree line.

The Market.
With carnations going oflF crop with
most of the growers, and the near ap-
proach of Easter, conditions show an
improvement over a week ago. Boses
continue the weakest spot in the mar-
ket and are not selling at all well. The
comparatively new sorts move the best,
including Melody, Radiance, Bulgarie
and Cardinal, while Sunburst, Hilling-
don, Ward and long-stemmed Beauties
are in fairly good demand. Killarneys
are overabundant, as are Richmonds.
The carnation market shows some im-
provement, due more to decreased ar-
rivals than to better demand. Benora,
Rosette and St. Nicholas are all fine
now. The leaders in popularity still
are Pink Delight, Gloriosa and White
Wonder. Some superb sweet peas are
arriving. These sell well, but there is
a surplus of short-stemmed stock still.
Dutch bulbous flowers are moving
somewhat better; the xjuality is first-
class all around. Violets are now
flowering heavily, with little change in
price. With an early Easter, the sup-
ply will this year be larger than for
several years. Marguerite Mrs. Sander
sells well, as do the larger-flowered yel-
lows, but small flowers are too plentiful.
Snapdragon, especially pink, remains
popular. Lilies are mostly quoted at
$12.50 per hundred, with second grades
at $10. At this time an adequate sup-
ply seems likely. Of blue cornflowers
the supply is as yet inadequate. Pan-
sies are now of good quality, as is
mignonette. English primroses, wall-
flowers, calendulas, gerberas, larkspurs,
lupines, anemones and quite a variety
of miscellaneous flowers are seen.
The cattleya market seems a little
stronger, as the supply has shortened
up. Gardenias are good and Boston
growers will have a grand Easter cut
of these. Lily of the valley has been
moving fairly well. The call for as-
paragus shows an improvement. Pot
plant trade is becoming brisk. Lilies
are now appearing in the windows, and

They will keep fresh in the absolutely even atmosphere produced by a
Brunswick Refrigerating and Ice-Making Plant.
You can maintain just the degree of humidity you require and your
stock will be kept in condition to command the best prices. A Brunswick
makes it possible to store lily bulbs, valley pips, etc., on the place.
The advantage to the grower of a Brunswick lies more in the im-
proved condition ol his stock than in the saving in cost, yet a Brunswick
can be run at onejBiird less expense than an ice-cooling system.

Club Field Day.
Beautiful weather favored the Gar-

day at the plant of W. W. Edgar Co.,
Waverley, March 8. There was an at-
tendance of eighty, including ladies, a
delegation from the Ladies' School of
Horticulture, Groton, Mass., being in-
cluded. All the houses were found filled
to overflowing with plants in prime
condition for Easter. Some 1,500
azaleas were in flower, including a num-
ber of the newer sorts, such as Souv.

perpetuals in pots also looked first-class
and included Brunner, Frau Karl
Druschki, Magna Charta, etc. Amer-
ican Beauty was also well done.
Metrosideros, or bottlebrush, is al-
ways well flowered here and they never
appeared better than now. Spiraeas,
hydrangeas and a variety of other
Easter plants also were seen. Many
thousands of young cyclamens were
coming along- for flowering next win-
ter, which it would be hard .to dupli-
cate. Large quantities of geraniums
and other bedding plants filled several
houses, while thousands of hydrangeas
were being started for Memorial day.
Following an inspection of the
houses an excellent luncheon was served
and speeches made by President W. J.
Kennedy, A. P. Calder, Sr., Thomas J.
Grey, H. H. Bartsch, the efficient man-
ager and member of the firm; R. S.
Edgar and Mrs. W. W. Edgar. Great
praise was given Mr. Bartsch for the
splendid condition of the stock and to
Mrs. Edgar for her generous luncheon,
and rousing cheers for them were given
before the pleasant gathering dis-
persed.
Various Notes.
Members of the Horticultural Club
visited the establishment of Peirce
Bros., at Waltham, March 5. One of
the big houses of giganteum lilies was
in prime condition for Easter, as fine
as this firm ever has had them. There
were many thousands of them, and
practically all are already sold. Aza-
leas and other pot plants also are
grown. Boses now fill several houses
and look remarkably well. Killarney,
White Killarney and Hillingdon mostly
are grown. A house of the last named
looked first-class, with fine stems and
large flowers. Several houses are de-
voted to carnations. Of the newer ones

PHILADELPHIA.
The Rising Eastern Market.
The market has been fai^ with a
downward tendency during the last
week. Carnations have been plentiful,
their support rather poor. Violets in
all grades have suffered, as have Easter
lilies, particularly the poor ones, and
the short-stemmed flowers of sweet peas
and of roses. The receipts'of southern
daffodils are quite heavy. The flowers
are short-stemmed, depressing the mar-
ket. Greenhouse .grown daffodils suf-
fer from the competition.
Indications point to a good supply of
Easter lilies and pretty nearly all the
varieties of flowers on which depend-
ence is placed at Easter, Beauties and,
possibly, Richmonds may be exceptions,
but on the other hand violets promise
well, as do sweet peas. Prices are
likely to be reasonable.
A Large Greenhouse.
The contract has just been closed for
what will be one of the largest green-
houses of the east. It will be erected
by Lord & Burnham Co., for John
Stephenson's Son, Oak Lane, Pa. The
new house will be added to the present
structure, 72x400, making the whole

Godfrey Aschmann has a fine lot of
azaleas just coming into bloom; there
are something like 4,000, making a
beautiful show. His lilies are safe; no
forcing needed to bring them into flow-
er for next week. A whole house and
an overflow bench of cinerarias are
superb, big trusses of large, well-col-
ored blooms in a variety of shades.
Spiraea Gladstone is uncommonly good;
not a poor plant among them. Hy-
drangea Otaksa completes the list of
blooming staples. Then come the bulbs
— ^you just ought to see them. Hya-
cinths and tulips and daffodils galore,
or, in plain English, thousands of them.
The foliage plants are strongly repre-
sented by kentias, araucarias, which
John Aschmann says are much used at
Easter, and ferns. The place will yield
an immense crop next week.
Second and Bristol Streoter
There is an air of life pleasant to
see about the greenhouses of Aschmann
Bros. They work with hand and. brain
and their place shows it. The Easter
stock is in excellent condition. Lilies,
azaleas, spiraeas and hydrangeas all
look well. Their enterprise is shown
in the new house, 18x103, just com-
pleted and filled with blooming stock,
notably 5,000 hyacinths. The general
air of thriftiness is pleasant to see.
The benches are full of plants that one
would like to have one's self; no empty
spaces, no rubbish.

wind and a cold snap on Friday morn-

The retailers are showing more plants
as Easter approaches, and each year
they seem to devise more beautiful
ways of arranging them. There will
probably be plenty of everything ex-

The Market.
There is not a great deal to be said
concerning the condition of trade last
week; plenty of stock in all lines, with
a fair demand. This week being
"Spring Style Week" in Dayton, con-
sequently the florists made a big thing
out of their palms and decorative plants,
as every available plant was used, be-
sides quantities of flowers in spring va-
rieties and decorative greens. This has
done much to help the week along and
bring satisfactory results.
Various Notes.
Mrs. Isabella A. Campbell, the aged
mother of Mrs. J. W. McNary, died at
the home of her daughter, March 6.

side partner, is recuperating in Florida.
Baleigh, N. C. — Spring is opening

replace the wood walls in their green-
houses with concrete as soon as the
rush is over.
Pittsburgh, Pa.— The firm of J. M.

tion to remove the greenhouses then to
another site and resume the operation
of them himself. He has not decided

The Southwestern Market.
According to reports from the various
retailers and wholesalers, business was
good last week, but all will be glad
when the Lenten season is over. At
the wholesale market anything in sea-i
son could be had of quality and in
quantities. Prices were reasonable on
all grades of stock. There is hardly a
scarcity of anything except fancy
Beauties. Only a few of these are com-
ing in at any of the markets. The
shorter grades are more plentiful. In
other roses, the market has had a good
supply. The Killarneys, Richmond,
Bride and Maid are of exceptionally
fine quality. The glut has been in vio-
lets and sweet peas. Every consignor
from Kirkwood comes in each morning
loaded down with these flowers, and
they have to be unloaded at cheap
prices to attract the big buyers, who
purchase in thousand lots. There are
plenty of good carnations, with top
price at $3 per hundred. There should
be a good demand for white by the end

Flower* for All Oe«asloBt, from Cradle to Grara
of the week, for greening for St. Pat-
rick's day. The bulbous stock is ex-
cellent and the demand is brisk. Tulips,
valley, Von Sions and Easter lilies have
had the greatest call. Smilax, aspara-
gus and galax had the best demand in
greens during the week.
Various Notes.
Frank McCabe, representing the A.
L. Eandall Co., Chicago, and E. J. Fan-
court, representing the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., Philadelphia, called on the
trade last week.
J. Schreiber, representing the Foley
Mfg. Co., Chicago, has been calling on
the greenhouse men in and around St.
Louis, as there is much building of
new houses contemplated.
The Bentzen Floral Co., with its new
delivery car, is right in line for St.
Patrick's day, solid green and attract-
ive. It is a Dorris car of local make.
Dan Cupid and Mr. Stork got busy
among the force at Smith's wholesale
house. Charlie Eichards took a day off
and visited St. Charles, Mo., and took
unto himself a wife, while the stork
visited the home of Joe Zonzs and left
a fine baby girl. The boss, Wm. Smith,
passed out good cigars Sunday, the
second anniversary of his wedding.
Otto G. Koenig, head of the Koenig

shape. While there has not been an
exceptionally large cut from any of
the growers, the quantity has been
suflBcient to meet the demand. Bulbous
stock is plentiful, but no oversupply is
known. Violets and sweet peas are
still plentiful.
Various Notes.
Henry Kusik & Co. had a fine week,
especially on out-of-town orders. They
have sold great quantities of Easter
supplies.
A. F. Barbe expects to have 1,000
lilies in for his Easter trade and they
look exceptionally well.
Patrick Larkiu reports business as
good for this time of the year.
The firm of D. Freudenthal has
changed its name to the Baltimore
Drug Co., Floral Department. The rea-
son for this is that the drug company I
is incorporated and has bought out the

Thlrty-flrst annual convention at Cleyeland, Jun^e
24 to 26, 1913.
Haevey B. Snow, Camden, N. Y., has
sold his greenhouses to devote his entire
time to the seed husiness.
Califobnia. has placed an absolute
quarantine against cotton seed from out-
side the state, for fear of admitting boll
weevil.
The death of Joseph Ault Bolgiano, re-
tired head of the seed firm of J. Bol-
giano & Son, Baltimore, Md., is reported
in this week's obituary column.
J. M. Thoebuen & Co., New York, are
sending the trade neatly framed colored
plates of the hybrid African daisy Thor-
burn has been exploiting of late.
The Nebraska Seed Co., of Omaha,
had a packet-filling machine in operation
at the Made-in-Nebraska show, recently
held in the Auditorium in Omaha,
Ernest A. Bailet, who succeeded A.
Mitting in the bulb growing business at
Santa Cruz, Cal., has given up the work
and is devoting all his time to his pro-
fession, engineering.
The seed trade has enjoyed the vnn-
ter; it has been so mild that retail seed
selling scarcely has ceased at any time
and a good many houses are ahead to
date in aggregate sales.
American seedsmen who have visited
the trial grounds of Watkins & Simpson,
at Feltham, Middlesex, England, will
learn vnth regret of the death, February
17, of W. Ford, the superintendent there.
The William A. Davis Seed Co. has
been incorporated at Bozeman, Mont.,
with a capital of $7,000, all of which is
subscribed. The incorporators are W. A.
Davis, B. C. Parker and E. J. Kenstrom.
The western states are quarantining
against the alfalfa weevil. California has
put an embargo on all alfalfa products
from Utah, Wyoming and parts of Idaho.
Alfalfa seed from the infested districts
can only be shipped into California when
tightly sealed and in care of a quarantine
officer, who will test and disinfect at the
expense of the consignee or owner.
If the Congress of the United States
barkens to the voice of the South Da-
kota senate the custom of distributing
garden seeds will go into disfavor along
with other "pork barrel" perquisites.

James Carter & Co., Kaynes Park,
London, had eighty-four electric pea-
picking machines in operation and as-
sert that they are the only ones in Eng-
land. In describing the machine they
say: "Each operative has absolute con-
.trol of her machine. She may run it at
varying spffe^s, and may stop it at any
point in an instant. She may even reg-
ulate the flow of peas; she may have
six in a row or sixty, or may have the
traveling 'platform' almost covered. The
advantages of this facility of control are
ob\'ious: no two samples of peas are pre-
cisely alike; the machine must be run at
lowest speed with a scantily covered
platform for some crops of peas, while
the more perfect crops may need but
little picking, and can therefore be
passed through quickly."

branches of commercial horticulture in
that country, and since about 1850 ship-

The chief centers of cultivation are
Hamburg, Halle, Frankfort (Oder),

go forward via Hamburg.
The larger portion of the crop is ex-
ported to Great Britain and the United
States. There are also substantial ex-
portations to Scandinavia and Kussia,
and Germany takes up the remainder.
Until 1912 flowering bulbs, such as

SEED OROWING IN CALIFORNIA.
Those who read with interest the
notes on onion seed as grown in Califor-
nia, published in this department of
The Review for February 27, may like
something more from the pen of F. G.
Cuthbertson. Mr. Cuthbertson is the
son of W. Cuthbertson, of Dobbie & Co.,
Edinburgh, and he views seed grow-
ing in California from the van-
tage point of a lifetime in the trade
and a couple of years' experience in
the west. His notes originally were
written for European consumption:
"California is a wonderfully product-
ive state and has a marvelous climate,
but the farmer, seed grower or orchard-
ist has more scope for his practical in-
genuity than in many other countries.
The real estate man will tell you that
California will grow anything with a
minimum amount of trouble. Don't
you believe him. In California one can
find valleys with widely different cli-
mates and widely different soils, and
yet only a few miles apart. One valley
may grow good seeds and the next one
be impossible. Another valley may
grow good hay and another not. It
seems as though each valley specializes
and in every instance of that kind the
best can be produced.
"The present article will deal with
seed growing in California. Even in
this line it is impossible to secure one
spot where all classes of seeds will do
well. Where culinary peas do well it
is almost impossible to grow sweet peas,
and where sweet peas do well other
flower seed crops are almost a failure.
We find onion and carrot seed doing
well in one location, yet a few miles
away a crop twice as great can be pro-
duced.
"There are many different soils in
California, ranging from the heavy
adobe (clay) down to a sand. The cli-
mate of California is not immune from
frost and during the winter months in
many sections it is common to get even
10 degrees. The greatest trouble the

seed grower has is perhaps the short
rainfall and its lateness in arrival. Oc-
casionally a wet season is experienced,
but that is the exception. Last year in
San Juan valley less than ten inches of
rain fell, and this season to January 7
only .78 of an inch has fallen. Anyone
interested in seed growing can appre-
ciate what this means when a large
acreage has to be put in. Such seeds
as sweet peas, radish and a few others
must be put in before the end of the
year to secure a good crop. Onion bulbs,
carrots, parsnip and salsify should all
be in before January. The practical
man, then, will realize what the Cali-
fornia seed grower has to do when
rains are few and far between, before
January.
"Of course the land has to be dry
plowed whenever the crop is off.

a tremendous lot to the carrying of the
crop till harvest time.
"Of course, there are weeds in Cali-
fornia, too, and there is much hoeing
to be done. It is comforting to know,
however, that after hoeing has been
done in April there is little chance of
mftre rain coming to start a fresh crop
of weeds. Consequently a seed farm in
California during summer has always a
clean, tidy appearance.
"This brings me to the labor ques-
tion. This is one of the biggest items
with Californian seed growers. Many
people imagine that there are plenty of
Chinamen to be had at a cheap rate to
do hoeing and unskilled work on the
ranches. Years ago this may have been
the case, but now it is getting almost
impossible to get sufficient help during
hoeing and harvesting seasons. The
Chinamen are no longer allowed to come
into the state and the white man does
not seem to care for laboring on a
ranch. Seed growers are getting anx-
ious as to the outcome. Last year the
common laborer, whether Chinaman,
Japanese or Hindoo, had to have his
$2.25 a day. Even at that money they
were hard to get and one had to travel
the country to make up the number,
and then they had to have their railway
fare paid. It may be that the opening
of the Panama canal will bring about a
solution of the labor question for the
8e6d grower and fruit grower.
"Yet, in spite of these difficulties,
California is the greatest country in the
world for the production of first-class
seeds. It is a splendid country to work
in' and when the difficulties have been
surmounted and the plants are well
under way, the grower has the great
consolation that he will have results
• superior in ouality to any other coun-
• try. The seeds grown in California
stand alone for high vitality and be-
'. fore many years have passed Califor-
nian seeds will have a name unques-
tioned the world over, Most of the
growers, are striving after, and I can
say have attained in numerous in-
stances, perfection in quality. It is not
to be wondered at, then, that the Cali-
fornian seed grower is proud of his
state and the achievements it has en-
abled him to attain."

Are true to name, have two to three good eyes, are well cured, sound and dormant, and give absolute satis-
faction. Our sales last year were nearly 700,000, and not an overgrown kick. The Canna crop this year,
however, is very short, and we advise placing orders early to secure stock. Delivery can be made at pur-
chaser's option. Bemember, you may deduct 5% if cash accompanies the order.
Stocks off Cannas are gstting very low everywhere. We
advise ordering immediately, to avoid disappointment.

The Florists^ Review
March 13, 1918.
The GENUINE Crego Aster
One of the largest growers at Irondequoit, the great aster center of New York state, says: "Our best Crego blooms
usually sell at about $1.00 per dozen, retail, about twice as much as can be got here for any other variety." (See "Asters
at Irondequoit" in Florists' Review, April 25. 1912.) Both wholesale and retail, when properly handled, the Crego Aster
has always maintained its position at the top to the market.
:buy your seed direct from the originator.
With its enormous blossoms, long stems and vigorous, healthy plants, this Aster is becoming more valuable to the
florist from year to year, and its remarkable success is due to the fact that it has had the benefit of twelve years of the
most rigid and painstaking selection, every effort having been directed toward developing its commercial qualities—
toward making it a money-maker for every florist who handles it. Growing no other seed off any kind, I am able
to give this the closest possible attention.
I am offering the Crego Aster in four colors : White, Shell-pink, Rose-pink and Violet— all fully
up to Crego grade, with immense, fluffy blooms 4 to 6 inches in diameter and of splendid color.

acres at the Gardena ranch of his firm
and the abundant rainfall of a week or
80 ago has filled the soil with moisture,
80 that the prospects for a full crop
are excellent. This is a different state
of affairs from last year, when the long
continued drought gave growers such
an anxious time, and also different by
all accounts from conditions obtaining
with growers in the northern part of
the state. The asters are also going
into the ground in fine shape, the soil
working splendidly. The prospects all
around are excellent.
M. L. Germain, of the Germain Seed
& Plant Co., and L. L. Morse, of San
Francisco, were in attendance at the
ofiice of the horticultural commissioners
at Sacramento February 27 to oppose
a pernicious seed bill, requiring, among
other things, a guarantee of germina-
tion. It is well within the possibil-
ities that such a law would be set aside
as unconstitutional, but it is expected
that the seedsmen's protest will lend to
the modification of the bill along the
lines of the state legislation approved
by the American Seed Trade Associa-
tion. The general feeling ie that
Messrs. Morse and Germain are to be
congratulated on the success of their
efforts and deserve the thanks of the
trade for the trouble they have taken.
H. E. E.
SEED TRADE ADVEBTISINO.
J. L. Farmer, of Pulaski, N. Y., notes
the lack of seed advertising in the gen-
eral magazines and makes the following
interesting comparisons with olden
times:
"I cannot help but notice how fash-
ions change even in advertising. As
I was looking over some old magazines
the other day I came across the Feb-
ruary issue of Century Magazine, issued
in 1891. This was twenty-two years
ago.
"The magazine contained thirteen
page^ of seed and nursery advertising
and, compared with this, the Cosmo-
politan of February, 1913, which maga-
zine claims the largest circulation of i^y
now published, has less than two pages
of seed and nursery advertising. Other
lines of advertising have increased in |

The ""SPENCEr Type o{ Sweet Peas
Burpee's Unequaled List for 1913— Arranged Alphabetically.
Choicest Re-selected Stocks Grown on ''Floradale Farm."
SPENCER SWEET PEAS are a great specialty with us! We were the first to grow the seed In America— the
stock having been entrusted to us before introduction, even in England, of the original Countess Spencer. We
have grown "the original Beauty" and Its many "sportive" children with painstaking care each season since.
There are but few other growers, — either in England or America, — who can supply an equal assortment of True
RE-SELECTED "SPENCERS" that are uniformly of such choice quality. Seedsmen and planters generally can
see how superior our stocks now are by the trials at FORDHOOK FARMS next June or July, while those who
may be In California are Invited also to Inspect the growing crops at our FLORADALE FARM in the beautiful
Lompoc Valley. Every planter's garden, however. Is really a trial ground and we shall be quite content If
any "Doubting Thomas" will send us only a portion of bis order and note the differenoa In character of
flowers produced!

BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913
The most complete catalogue published for Market Gardeners, Truckers and Florists. For the
planter who "knows" it contains complete lists of all that is best in vegetables and flowers, while the
grower who is uncertain as to the best varieties suited for his purpose may be guided by the bull's-eye O
placed after what is known to be best. In addition full descriptions are given many new and most
valuable varieties.
BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 contains 148 pages with hundreds of halftone and engraved
illustrations. Within the pages of this catalogue we have condensed an experience of thirty-five years
both in handling and the actual growing of seeds.
If you garden for profit (that is, sell your products in the market) you are entitled to a copy of this complete and easily
understood catalogue, but if you are a private planter please do not ask for a copy: as we must protect the Market
Gardener, Trucker and Florist.

The Florists' Review
March 13, 1913.
My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON
is a money-maker, being a grand variety indoors and out. Aside from a possible
sport, it has never varied from the soft, silvery pink which is best in full sunshine,
making it an ideal bedder. Plants like cut can be grown in three months, which, in
2^2 or S^^-in. pots, will make double the money that geraniums or any other bedding
plant will, from the fact that you can grow 16 plants to the square foot in 2Jfl-in. pots and 9 plants in
X^-in. pots. Use pencil and figure profit at 75c to $1.50 per dozen. It requires 9 months for geraniums
to do half go well, and a year of good growing for carnations and many other plants to equal it.
Clean up a comer anywhere and fill with SILVER PINK. You can't lieep it from growing.
Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 600 seeds; 8 pacltets, $2.50, deliyered.
Can still supply plants for MEMORIAL DAY flowering at $4.00 per 100, $36.00 per 1000. by express.
Cash must accompany all orders.

Q. S. RAMSBURQ,
Mention The Review when you write.
Somersworth, N. H.
sions: That book-shaped (small sized
page) magazines are not so popular for
seed and nursery advertising as they
were twenty or more years ago. The
tendency is to small copy during the
last few years. The largest advertise-
ment carried in the February Cosmo-
politan for this year is Henderson's,
which occupies one-third page.
"In the old Century, the seed and
nursery ads are all concentrated to-
gether, and in running over its pages
it does not take long to find them. This
style is followed by most of the maga-
zines today, including the Cosmopolitan,
and I believe it is better than to scatter
ads of different kinds through the book.
The two small pages of seed ads are
hard to find in the Cosmopolitan, how-
ever, unless you turn every page of the
magazine.
"In that old issue Henderson was
advertising to pay $250 for a name for
his big tomato, which was afterwards
named 'Ponderosa.* Burpee was fea-
turing pansy seed, Childs the moon-
flower, Maule the Marguerite carnation,
Scott the Ivory chrysanthemum,
Vaughan the Yellow Peach tomato,
Blanc the Queen of Night, Henderson
the Mrs. De Graw rose, and Reeser the
Bruant geranium.
"Our replies from advertising this
year are much better than last. We are
getting more replies by the use of one-
half the appropriation. Last winter it
was so cold that people spent their time
in keeping warm, instead of reading
papers. If they do not read the papers
they do not answer the ads."

Under the new Plant Quarantine Law the importa-
tion of Azaleas, Palms, etc., is more difficult than ever
before. Certain conditions must be complied with be-
fore the plants can enter this country. Are you sure the
man you buy from knows this ? Will he comply with the
new law? Furthermore, the importer must have a per-
mit from Washington to import such plants. Have you
such a permit ? If you don't wish to run the risk, and
bother with all this, you can buy from us, or any other
reliable American house. Horseshoe Brand Azaleas

MONTEBEY CYPBESS FBOM SEED.
Will you kindly inform me in detail
as to the best method of starting Mon-
terey cypress seed! I have tried to
raise the trees from seed here, in north-
ern California, but with little success.
Only a few seeds germinated. Please
state what is the best time to plant
and what soil is best. Should the seed
be planted in the open or in a hotbed f
What should the treatment be as to
shading and water? W. W.
As W. W. asks for the details of the
entire operation, I shall commence with
the gathering of the seed. The Mon-
terey cypress is peculiar in the fact that
the seed cones do not open on the tree
until they are several years old. As
each year's growth produces an abun-
dant supply of seed cones, it is obvious
that there must be seed of several
years' standing on all large trees. This
is an important point, for the riper
the seed, provided the cones are allowed
to remain on the tree, the better germ-
inative qualities it has. Consequently,
seed should only be saved from cones
of the oldest growth on the trees. The
young cones, although they appear to
be ripe, do not give seed that will
germinate easily. Although the seed
keeps well on the tree, it does not do
so after picking and seed that is older
than one season is of little value.
Take the seed and put it in a vessel,
covering it with water that has been
heated to about 150 degrees. It is not
necessary to change this water, bat the
seed should be left in it for about three
days. Early in April is the best time
to start cypress in California, and no
heat, either above or below, is of any
value. Make a bed outside, of light
sand, and cover the seed about one-
eighth of an inch with still finer sand.
Put a shading over the bed, preferably
of laths, both as a protection from birds
and from the bright sunshine. Keep
the bed wet by plenty of light sprink-
ling. The seeds should begin to germi-
nate in about a week and in eight
weeks the plants are ready to prick off
in to, flats. By this time they should be
about one and one-half Inches high,
which is the proper size^ ^n which to
handle them. They can be boxed in
heavier soil than that in which the seed
has been grown and must then be shaded
for several weeks in the same manner
as was the seed bed.
Plants grown in this way will be
ready for sale the following winter, but
can' be kept in flats for several seasons.
The seed can be planted rather thickly
in the seed bed, which must be care-
fully leveled and lightly tamped both
before and after the seed is covered
with sand. See that the bed is in such
shape that it will hold the water evenly,
and if the entire bed is made of light
soil there is little danger of giving too
much water when the seed bed is made
outdoors. I am inclined to think, from
the remarks made by W. W., that he
had his trouble either because the seed
grown was not fresh or because it was
saved from young cones. As Califor-
nia is the native habitat of the Mon-
terey cypress, there should be no
trouble to grow it successfullv in this
climate, provided the foregoing rules
are followed. G.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.
The Market.
Stock has been arriving in large
quantities, both from local and north-
ern growers, but it seems to clean up
well. The fashion show always calls
for a lot of cheap, showy flowers, as
well as plants, and this year was no
exception. Daffodils are arriving in
great quantities, the variety being
greater and the quality better than
usual. Funeral work has been plentiful,
using up large quantities of these.
Grand Monarque narcissus has been
fine. Freesias are everywhere, both
the outdoor and indoor grown; the lat-
ter are much the better sellers. Stock
Beauty of Nice sells well.
Boses are fine in every respect, the
weather being all in their favor. Easter
lilies, cut and in pots, are good, but
there is likely to be a shortage for
Easter in good pot stock. A number
of hyacinths in pans are in; also pretty
forced wistaria plants. Keizerskroon
tulips are grand now. Violets are plen-
tiful; so, also, are valley and orchids.
The wearing of artificial flowers as cor-
s^e bouquets is greatly on the in-
crease here; about every other woman
on the street is adorned (T) with these
monstrosities.
Various Notes.
Jacob Dieterich, of Wall street, al-
most had his place cleaned out of plants
during fashion show week. He sup-
plies most of the department stores and
handles immense numbers of bay trees,
kentias and similar stock.
Tom Wright has broken out in a new
place — as an inventor. He is working
on a time clock and call arrangement
that has all the ear markq of an excel-
lent thing. It is not complete yet, but
is nearing completion and I hope to
refer to some of its good points later.
The usual monthly meeting of the
Los Angeles County Horticultural So-
ciety was given over to the discussion
of the prevention of frost damage in
the orange groves. William Woods,
horticultural commissioner, was the
first speaker and he was followed by

The Market.
Business is holding up wonderfully,
considering the weather. Spring seems
to be here to stay. The sunshine for
the last few weeks has worked wonders
in bringing out the stock. Foliage is
coming out rapidly on the rose bushes
and shrubbery. Daffodils are bursting
into bloom on all sides. Carnations
and roses, especially Maids, are show-
ing the effect of the bright days. On
the whole, the florists are delighted, as
the lilies are rather backward. If
everything goes well for the next two
weeks they will be just right, but not
in an oversupply. Daffodils, freesias,
tulips, sweet peas and mignonette are
the principal spring flowers. Ramblers,
azaleas, rhododendrons, genistas and
lilacs are much in evidence in the win-
dows.

Lenten season usually brings quietness,
but this year it seems to have been more
pronounced than formerly. The last

faces. Stock of most varieties is fairly
abundant. Roses are about the only
item showing any scarcity. Carnations

THE NOVELTY
OF THE SEASON
"RAMON A"
THE NEW RED
CHEROKEE ROSE
This sensational and magnlflcent new climbing rose occurred as a sport from the well-
known Pink Cherokee (Rosa Slnlca, var. Anemone). It Is a stronger and more rampant
grower than its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months floweih
in such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop ot
bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pink or white forms, with brilliaiu
golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crimson color; an unusual
shade, wonderfully striking and effective; the foliage Is absolutely mildew-proof, a rich,
glossy green, so bright that it appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in
our advertisement in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural
size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words.
The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dleterlch & Turner, at Monte-
bello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred
thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our faith
in its value, and its coming popularity is attested by the fact that we have already bookea
orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that
"RAMONA" will have the largest first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the
American trade.
-RAMONA"
will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf
and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting
on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in addition,
it makes an elegant hedge plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the
stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color.
We are offering plants of "RAMONA" at the following prices, cash with order:
In lots less than one hundred: From 2-inch pots, 35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen; from
3-lnch pots, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen.
In lots of one hundred to Ave hundred: From 2-lnch pots, $20.00 per one hundred; from
3-inch pots, $30.00; from 5-inch pots, $60.00.
In lots of Ave hundred to one thousand: From 2-inch pots, $125.00 per thousand; from
. 3-inch pots, $150.00 per thousand.
Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored
plate shown in The Review of February 20th, at the rate of $3.60 per hundred, $30.00 per
thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

The Market.
There is still an excess of flowers and
a scarcity of business. Never have vio-
lets and bulbous stock been so plenti-
ful or 80 cheap. The prevailing sun-
shine and warm days and nights have
had the effect of bringing into bloom
everything that is seasonable. Boses,
however, are not quite so much in evi-
dence as they have been. Carnations
are a glut and are likely to continue
80 for several weeks, provided the pres-
ent sort of weather continues for that
length of time. Easter lilies are in
good supply and move well. Valley is
good, but moves slowly. Freesias are
not as strong as they have been. Hya-
cinths of the Dutch sorts, both potted
and cut, are seen everywhere. Tulips
do not move as quickly as they should.
From general appearances, there will
be quantities of flowering stock in pots
for Easter. Azaleas, cyclamens, lilies
and rambler roses look well.

NAMING MEDIOCRE GLADIOLI.
"I would like to rap some of the
named varieties of gladioli," said W.
E. Fryer, of Mantorville, Minn., in a
paper. prepared for presentation before
the last meeting of the Western Dahlia
and Gladiolus Association. ' ' Our list
is too long and no more should be
named unless they have extra good
qualities and are different from any we
now have. Let one of experience take
any catalogue that lists 100 varieties.
They are described in such a way that
all appear to be good. Let him try to
select the best from the descriptions
and he will fail. If the experienced
fail, how is it with the average planter?
I have turned over a new leaf in regard
to varieties I am not familiar with:
I buy a few bulbs and grow them one
year before I catalogue them; if they
are poor, I have enough; if good, I can
get more. This season I am going to
make up a mixture of some of the
named varieties, but I am sure it will
not compare with some of the mixtures
I already have."

The Florists^ Review
Mabch 13, 1918.
The death of Nathan D, Pierce, weU
known in the nursery trade in Bhode
Island, is recorded in this week's obitu-
ary column.
Henry Augustine, of Normal, 111., waa
killed by a train March 8. A brief sketch
of his career appears in this week's
obituary column.
The western states are quarantining
against the alfalfa weevil and several of
them have barred nursery stock that
«ome8 packed in alfalfa.
Each season greater numbers of suit-
ably located florists are taking up land-
■scape work and are handling nursery
stock. They rarely fail to find it profit-
able.
De. W. S. Regan, who is in charge of
the nursery stock inspection work in Mas-
sachusetts, recently told the New England
Nurserymen's Association that eighteen
new pests have been received on imported
stock so far this season.
J. Johannes, who formerly ran green-
houses at Rockford, 111., but who has
been spending the winter at Paris, 111.,
has returned to Rockford to execute the
landscape work at the new Dr. James
Sanitarium on Corey's Bluff.
QUALIFIED IN WYOMING.
The law in Wyoming permits no
nursery to ship stock into the state un-
less it holds the license of the state
board of horticulture, such license not
being obtainable until the nursery has
filed a bond and a sworn copy of its
certificate of inspection. The nurseries
which have complied with these require-
ments for the year 1913 are as follows:
Arlington Nurseries, Marshall Bros., proprl-
«tor8, Arlington, Neb.
BartelcTes Seed Co., Denver, Colo.
Biltmore Nursery, 0. D. Beadle, manager,
Blltmore, N. C.

NEW YORKERS ARE RELIEVED.
As has been reported in this depart-
ment of The Review, New York nursery-
men have been much perturbed over
the introduction in the state legislature
of a bill that would impose well-nigh
intolerable conditions on those in the
ousiness. Last week 's issue told of a
large delegation going to Albany to op-
pose the bill in committee. So deter-
mined was the opposition that the dele-
gation was assured that this so-called
Vert bill would not be reported for
passage and that it will be materially
modified before it is heard from again.
The provision particularly objected to
was one making the original seller re-
sponsible in the sum of $5 for the true-
ness to name any time within five years
of date of sale.
THE STARK FAMILY TROUBLES.
William P. Stark, president of the
Wm. P. Stark Nurseries, Neosho, Mo.,
has filed suit against the Stark Bros.
Nurseries & Orchards Co., and Edgar
W. Stark, president, Lloyd C. Stark,
vice-president, and Eugene Duncan,
treasurer, asking for the appointment
of a receiver for the company. He
bases his petition on the following alle-
gations: "That Edgar W. Stark has
never learned the fundamental princi-
ples of the business; that he is not
familiar with the scope or with the
details of the business; that he is in-
competent to run the business, and yet
he dictates to the other officers all of
their official acts in connection with the
business.

"That Edgar W. Stark and the wife
of Clarence M. Stark, who was ap-
pointed his guardian upon her applica-
tion to the probate court to have him
declared of unsound mind, fraudulent-
ly conspired and confederated together
to deprive W. P. Stark of any office
in the management or control of the
business, and without regard for the
welfare of the company took control
of the affairs of the company and
placed it in the hands of persons who
were under the domination of Edgar
W. Stark, with the result that the
business is in the hands of incompetent
persons, and the property is depreciat-
ing in value, and in danger of being
entirely dissipated.
"That through the unlawful con-
spiracy, Edgar W. Stark has had reso-
lutions passed attempting to confer ab-
solute authority upon himself as presi-
dent, which said resolutions are illegal
and contrary to the by-laws of the
<'ompany.
"That while WUliam P. Stark was
treasurer of the company, Edgar W.
Stark demanded him as treasurer to
sign notes in blank and turn them over
to Edgar W. Stark as president, to be
filled in by him for the amounts which
he might see fit.
"That Edgar W. Stark is in control
^rom the unlawful conspiracy, and haa
openly declared that he would perpet-
uate Mfcself in control, even though he
torced the company into bankruptcy.
That the books of the company are
l^ept in an inaccurate manner, and con-

tion of Edgar W. Stark for the purpose

So does the publisher hope to see
such an advertisement soon. It is the
belief that The Review reaches more
buyers of nursery stock, in trade quan-
tities, than are reached by any one
other publication in America, But nur-
serymen have been educated away from
efficient, economical trade paper adver-
tising and to the use of wasteful, in-
efficient circulars.

These men had the temerity to stand
directly in front of the stores of the

to the passing public, much to the
chagrin of the dealers. An effort is
now on foot to seek the enactment of
suitable laws, to prevent an occurrence

fine quality and are bringing fancy

lilacs are being shown in the stores in
preparation for the Easter business,
which bids fair this year to eclipse all
others. With St. Patrick's day at

though it is rather early for sales to

creditable pieces were to be seen at
her late home. J. H. Small & Sons and
the Gude Bros. Co. are reported to have
supplied at least ten pieces each, but
they are not the only firms who re-
ceived some of this business.
Quite a number of out-of-town flo-
rists were to be seen in the city during
inauguration week and among those
found by The Eeview correspondent
were Mr. and Mrs. John V. Phillips,
of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Grandy, Norfolk, Va.; Harry Jones,
formerly with Z, D. Blackistone, but
now at Habermehl's, Philadelphia;

The election of President Wilson
hardly carried with it more excitement
than that attending the annual elec-
tion of the Florists' Club of Washing-

outcome, but with three men in the

since the parcel post has gone into effect;
it must be parcel post stamps and large
denominations of the other kind can
not be exchanged, which makes it a
loss. Customers could just as well send
a paper dollar or two or even a five dol-
lar bill instead of stamps; one will go
just as safely as the other.
The next thing is that many will
send a postal card asking for a price
list in such a hurry that there is one
thing or another forgotten. I receive
them in all styles; one that contained
my address and nothing else. Some-
times the man's signature is missing,
but the most common thing omitted is
the city and state of the sender.

Dorner's Novelties
For Spring of 1914, we offer Three Tried and True Commercial Varieties
. Champion, scarlet; Yellowstone and Yellow Prince, yellow.
Vl-
CRAMPION— bright scarlet, large size, good form, bright color and strong stems; an extra-
ordinarily early, free habit that will never fail to giye a heavy Christmas cut. Champion
was only one of eight good scarlet varieties in a test; its superior qualities over the others
made it an easy winner.
Price*. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000;
$237.50 per 2500; $450.00 per 5000.
YBLLOWSTONB and YELLOW PRINCE. The only two Yellow Carnations that we
have found profitable commercial varieties in their color. Size, stem, color, growth, earliness
- • and freedom of bloom are all of the commercial standard. The want of good yellow carna-
tions will cause a big demand for this stock, and with the orders already booked, we expect
to be sold up long before the close of the 1914 season.
Price, $6.00 per 50; $10.00 per 100; $80.00 per 1000;
$187.50 per 2500; $350.00 per 5000.
We have booked quantities of Champion, Yellowstone and Yellow Prince for Sprinj^
1914 delivery, and to secure early stock, we advise you not to
wait, but to place your order now.

CINCINNATI.
The Gateway to the South.
The supply is large. There is, how-
ever, an active demand that for the last
week has been taking up most of the
offerings.
Judging from present indications,
this market wUl have a fairly good
supply of elegant stock for Easter.
Roses are being cut in larger quan-
tities than a fortnight ago. Carna-
tions are holding up better than was
expected. All colors seem to be mov-
ing nicely. A good many of our local
growers have large lots of bulbous
stock that will make Easter nicely.
There will also be a nice lot of lilies,
but it cannot be ascertained as yet
whether or not the supply will be ade-
quate.
Double violets were the one bad
proposition in last week 's good market.
They simply could not find enough buy-
ers at any price. Neither orchids nor
valley found a good market.
The offerings of green goods are of
high quality. Both plumosus and
Sprengeri are in good supply. There is
a good call for wild smilax for the
decorations for the spring openings.
Various Notes.
C. E. Critchell reports that this year
has been by far his best in Mexican

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME
JHE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all the vigor and freedom that dis-
tinguish its parent. Color a light salmon pink — a color that is not only very attractive,
but also ono that endures full exposure to the sun without bleaching. A good all-round
Carnation that retains its color at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of the
parent variety, and distinct from th6 latter. Has shown no inclination to be a burster. The
weak points of Enchantress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four years'
duration convinces us of its great value.

Best 100 Scarlet at Cincinnati show, November, 1911
Best 100 Scarlet at St. Paul show, November, 1912
Best 100 Scarlet at Cleveland show, November, 1912
Color: — Brilliant scarlet, good even shade.
Form: — Large 3 to 3^^-inch, well rounded flowers, full center, scalloped edges,
outer petals standing out well, showing the flower off to good advantage.
Calsrx: — Strong, large calyx; never bursts, very much on the order of Har-
lowarden.
Habit: — Ideal, upright growth; deep green colored foliage, breaks readily
from the base, making a rapid growth and producing flowers in remarkably short
time. Easy to grow and propagate.
Stem: — Long and strong, not heavy, always stiff enough
to hold the large flower perfectly erect.
Guarantee
We guarantee this variety to fill a long felt want for a good
all-around commercial scarlet; one that will produce high grade
flowers with long stems right from the beginning of the season
to the end.
The Herald is the Best Commercial Scarlet for you to grow,
because it will produce more perfect flowers in a season than
any other scarlet and bring a higher price than any other;
because the flowers are all perfect; stem stiff and keeps the
longest. Compared with Enchantress it will produce one-third
more blooms. No culls; no splits; no weak stems. All rooted
cuttings guaranteed strong, well rooted and satisfactory in
every respect.

Robert Miller, president of the Miller^

several days here last week on his way
home from a trip through the east, said
January 22 that of all the novelties
seen on his travels he was specially
pleased with Carnation The Herald. He
made a trip to Joliet to see it growing
and said it looked to him like a good
money-making proposition for his ship-

The Market.
A few spring-like, balmy days gave
the last week a cheerfulness that was
radiated on all sides and found sub-
stantial reflection in increased trade
among the florists. More cut flowers
were sold last week than for some time
past, violets finding special favor. The
near approach of Easter is causing some
activity among the retailers to find
stock for the occasion, and already in-
quiries are being made in the interest
of churches, for decorations and potted
plants as well as cut blooms.
Various Notes.
E. H. Dickey, superintendent of the
Union Cemetery Greenhouses, at Woon-
socket, has nearly 3,000 Easter lily
blooms coming along in fine condition
and also has a fine showing of bulbous
stock.

which E. M. Pope, 105 Burnett street,
is proprietor, reports great activity id
orders for spring work.

England Nurserymen's Association, at

mittee, and C. H. Greaton, of this city,

€L WE'RE AHEAD considerably when it comes to a comparison of SNAPDRAGONS €^
Unlike the several strains advertised as the well known
New England Silver-pink Snapdragon, we have named ours
BUXTON'S KILLARNEY - PINK SNAPDRAGON
as this favorite rose is its nearest comparison as to color.
Every grower who has tested this strain pronounces it the beat yet. Will you be among the number to buy a stock
of this sterling Snapdragon that knows no enemies but makes friends wherever it finds a home? 10,000 strong plants,
ready April I. Price, $6.00 per 100; 946.00 per 1000. Cash with order, please.

The Market.
There is hardly any change to be
reported in the market. Stock of all
kinds seems plentiful, especially violets.
There are plenty of home-grown violets
to be had at 25 cents per hundred.
Roses, lilies, sweet peas, carnations, val-
ley, etc., are equal to the demand and
of a splendid grade. The outlook for
Easter is fine. From present indica-
tions prices will not take that enormous
rise, giving the retailer an opportunity
to dispose of lots of stock at a fair
price.
Various Notes.
The last meeting of the Kentucky
Society of Florists was honored by the
attendance of one of Louisville's oldest
florists, John Skrobanek. The establish-
ment of Mr. Skrobanek, while modest,
shows splendid care and lots of skill is
displayed in producing about the best
stock sent to the local market.
The cheap carnation sales continue,
only they have become still cheaper, a
local department store offering them at
20 cents per dozen.
E. J, Fancourt, of S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., was a recent caller.
G. E. S.
Cresco, la. — W. B. Perry, propriefor
of the Garden City Greenhouses, has
added one new house and installed a

Bargain In Sliver Pink Bedding Stock
.*iv.
^*- 1 J 1 r
IJ
^ . ., ....
G. S. RAMSBURG,
This entire lot of splendid plants of Sil-
ver Pink snapdragon at a small price.
Shipment March 10, when they will be
sturdy plants with 2 to 6 branches. They
are offered at a bargain because we can
atrord It. We will have used this bencb
space three times in one year and can make
the low price with still a good margin of
profit, l^e price is only
$3.00 PER 100, TWO HUNDRED FOR
$5.00,
cash, by express. These plants will make
strong stock in 8% and 4-in. pots for early
bedding sales, and should sell more readier
and make you more money than any bed-
ding plant. We have been short of stock
for two seasons and have had so many ad-
vance orders and inquiries that we cut our
geranium stock in half. The only adver-
tising done was a bed of Sliver Pink in our
home grounds.
Snapdragon is destined to become as
popular and profitable for bedding as It now
is under glass. Get in line and pick up
some of the easy dollars and a lot of new
customers. Use these plants to show blos-
soms and sow seed for 2% -in. stock. See
my smaller dlspl^v ad. for figures. Price
of seed, my own growing, $1.00 per pkt. ot
over 500 seeds; 3 pkts., $2.50, delivered.
Be prompt with plant orders. This is
my last lot for spring sales. Can supply
a few larger plants for immediate delivery
at $4.00 per 100.

CLEVELAND.
The Market.
Eoses continue scarce, although the
•cttt has improved in the last few VFeeks
•Jlnd indications are for a good crop for
Easter. Carnations are about the same
as before — enough to go around at the
buyer's own price. Bulbous stock is
of fine quality and is equal to all de-
•mands. Valley has been plentiful and
of fine quality.
Easter lilies are coming in every day.
There should be enough to go around
at Easter. Some growers will have
giganteum in at that date.
Various Notes.
The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. will
build a new range at Newton Falls, O.,
"this spring, beginning with two "houses
48x400 of King material. Service
buildings and heating plant will be in-
stalled to provide for the rapid ex-
tension of the plant. A plot of seventy-
four acres has been acquired close to
the depot, with three railroads, giving
good express service to the city; also
the plant will be located on a direct
coal road, being within nine miles of
the coal fields. A switch direct to the
boiler house will eliminate all hauling
•of coal, etc. Good soil and water both
prevail in this section, the country in
and about Newton Falls being highly
productive. Killarney and White Kil-
lamey will be grown the first season,
under the management of Guy Bate,
who has charge of the old plant. Her-
bert Bate will take charge of the pres-
ent plant until such time as the entire
greenhouse establishment is removed to
the new location.
The first rambler roses of the season
were seen in the stores last week. Baby
Rambler, Phyllis, Jessie, Hiawatha and
Crimson Rambler all were good and
retailers and the public welcomed them.
The J. M. Gasser Co. is showing
Spanish iris, a novelty for so early in
the season.
Adam Graham is inspecting the Pa-
nama canal.
All greenhouse firemen have boiler
operators' licenses now, thanks to the
efforts of the Florists' Club's c
tee.

New American Beauty Geranium
We take great pleasure in introducinir to our
many customers for 1913 the New American Beauty
Geranium. For the first time, after working on
this wonderful new Geranium for nearly three
years, we are offering it for sale. It originated
from a novelty collection and has stood the test
now nearly three years.
Our Claim for American Beauty Geranium
is that it surpasses all other Geraniums in its real
American Beauty color—
1. In brlUlanoy of eolor.
2. In six* of It* larce blooms.
8. In earllness of bloom.
4. In oonstancT of bloom.
5. In vicor, stronctb and atooky plants.
«. In propasatlBK quality.
7. In numbar of larce clusters of blooms.
8. In selllns quality.
0. In a wonderful ability to retain Its oolor in
oool or the hottest weather.
10. In a Geranium that has oome to stay as a
money maker.
AMERICAN BEAUTY is semi-double, of the purest Ameri-
can Beauty color. It is so distinct that no difference can be detected _^ ^^^^^^^^^^

These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has 4ihe
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.
When l« Philadelphia b« sure to look us up.
We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine train service— fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all

in the tubs. They are strong and healthy. ,
With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is moob laraar than myrmt balora and never in battar condition.

BUFFALO.
The Market.
After a week of the coldest weather
of the season the conditions changed;
the sun broke out and brought a thaw.
I believe it is welcomed by most of the
growers, as the general conditions seem
to be late stock, especially in lilies.
We will have good lilies in the city, but
not the quantity that is needed.
Business conditions remain about the
same throughout Lent, with the excep-
tion of the most welcome funeral work,
of which the stores had a good run last
week. Week-end sales have moved a
tremendous quantity of stock that oth-
erwise would have gone to the barrel.
Club Meeting.
The big event of the Florists' Club
was held Tuesday, March 4. The at-
tendance was gratifying to the com-
mittee and naturally a good time fol-
lowed. A short meeting preceded the
banquet, the principal business being
the election of officers. William Legg,
the pioneer florist,' was elected presi-
dent. No better choice than Mr. Legg
could have been made. As one of the
speakers of the evening said, "we have
had a reign of the younger element;
now let the older men have the rule."
While Mr. Legg is considerably older
than the other members, he is just as
young in spirit and will keep the busi-
ness lively during his career as presi-
dent. Mr. Brown was elected vice-
president and in his little response he
said that he objected to being classed
as an older man. This brought hearty
applause from the members. The other
officers were elected as follows: E. Sav-
agg, secretary; E. C. Brucker, financial
secretary; Wallace Eiss, treasurer. With-
out flattery, I can safely say that a bet-
ter set never held office.
After the meeting the banquet was
held in the dining-room of the hotel and
the usual good feed followed. L. H.
Neubeck was appointed host and any
who know or ever heard of Mr. Neu-
beck in business or pleasure know that
he was the ideal one for the head of the
table. Mr. Kasting was the first speaker
and the members of the club listened
to some mighty good advice. Before^
the party adjourned nearly everyone in
tbe hall responded to the call of his
name. B. A. S.

NEWS NOTES
•••
New Castle, Ind. — That Patrick J.
Lynch, owner of the Heller Bros. Co.,
will resist the condemnation of a right-
of-way through his property on South
Fifth street by the city to provide for
a fuel switch to the waterworks, was
indicated in the city council February
17. Mr. Lynch and his attorney ap-
peared before the body and registered
their protest against the condemnation
proceedings.
Muncie, Ind. — E. Webb, of the Mun-
cie Floral Co., says there is a bright
outlook for Easter business. His firm
and the Williams & Clark Floral Co.
gave special attention to the decoration
of their stores for St. Valentine's day,
and the volume of trade on that occa-
sion vpas much larger than in former
years. Cut flowers sold well and there
was a genuine rush in pot plants.
Northampton, Mass. — The Hamp-
shire-Hampden Florists' and Garden-
ers* Club will hold a banquet at Boy-
den's restaurant, March 4. A program
of entertainment will be arranged by
Messrs. Barnard and Tichey. The next
regular meeting of the club will be held
at the greenhouses of H. W. Field and
an address will be delivered by Pro-
fessor Waugh, of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College.
Allentown, Pa. — Ernest Ashley will
moVe April 1 into his new store, which
will have the advantage of larger size
and finer appearance than his present
quarters. Mrs, Ashley has charge and
intends to have a most attractive
place. The greenhouses are located
about two 'miles from the center of the
city, on land that is rapidly increasing
in value. John F. Horn & Bro. are in
a similar position and are now debating
the question of moving their range of
houses farther back, where there is
plenty of room, as well as freedom from
the dust of travel.

Greenhouse Heating.
The coal market continues easy, but
from the principal cities comes the word
that cars on tracks are not so burden-
some as they were a few weeks ago and
that prices are, as a consequence, a little
firmer. The coal trade is one of which
"you never can tell" may well be said;
the opposite of what is generally ex-
pected frequently happens. Last autumn
there was every indication of an ap-
proaching fuel famine, but except for a
sharp flurry at the time fires were
started there has been exactly the re-
verse of the conditions that were antici-
pated. Look out for the year when it
looks like an easy winter market; that
will be the year everybody will get
pinched.
A PENNSYLVANIA KANOE.
I have recently come into possession
of a greenhouse or houses, 75x120 feet,
with five ridges or gables. It is heated
by steam, with one sixty horse-power
boiler and one twenty-five horse-power
boiler. The twenty-five horse-power
one will heat the house except on a few
of the coldest nights, when the ther-
mometer is 20 or '6) degrees below
zero. Now I am asking for advice on
the heating of this bouse. It now has
for piping one 2*^-'n*'h bead or feed
pipe running the vidth ot the house,
and 2-inch" flows rjnnin;^ the length
of the house in each ridg'' and then re-
duced to 1-inch coils and a 2-inch re-
turn to the boiler. In several places
in the coils the piping is reduced to
%-inch, I suppose to save the cost in
throttles or shut -off s. The system does
ifOt heat satisfactorily. The larger
boiler takes too touch fuel to run it
and I am thinking of throwing put the
whole system and putting in low pres-
sure steam or hot water.

you will have complete control of your draft, which means less
fuel, time, labor and trouble.
The mash finger grate admits air through
every air space and is the only perfect design. It is impossible
to avoid this construction and receive the best results.
They are the only rocker grates that will
handle Pocahontas coal and not waste it in the ashpit.
They are adapted to the tubular, fire box, in-
ternally fired or sectional boilers.
They are supported the same as stationary
grates. No changes in the furnace whatever and no tools are
required when installing them.
You can use a cheaper quality of coal. An
evenly distributed draft, completely controlled, burns cinders
until they are brittle and are easily rattled through the grate.
The particular construction of these grates
relieves the cinders without molesting the fire bed. Many of
our grates have been in constant use during the winter which
is now drawing to a close, and we are receiving many testi-
monials telling of the satisfaction and pleasure our customers
are deriving from the Travis Rocker Grate.

Gentlemen :— We have now given those grates a good
trial, and I believe they have increased the heatiog capacity
of my boiler about one-third. I am pleased with them.

It has two tanks; the larger one does not move. Only the small one

carrying the weight of fixed tank and the water on special fittings, and not
on the trunnions, as in all other tilting traps. Only the pilot Tank moves
on the CHICAGO TRAP. Trunnions are only U inch, and packed with

with the boiler house at the northwest
corner. The ridges run north and south.
Please give me your opinion as to the
best plan for heating this house.
W. S.
From the description it would appear
that the range consists of five houses,
each 15x120 feet. The description also
would indicate' that the main is too
small, but the data are not definite
enough to determine whether the radia-
tion in the returns is sufficient.
If hot water is to be used, it will
be well to run three 2%-inch flow pipes
in each of the houses to the end far-
thest from the boiler and connect each
of them with two 2-inch returns. Place
one flow on each plate and the other
under the ridge. In case low pressure
steam is installed, run a 2V^-inch flow
under each ridge and connect them
with six or eight 1%-inch returns. Of
course, all of the pipes should have a
slight fall. Place a shut-off valve on
each flow and return pipe where it en-
ters the house.
AN L-SHAPED STRUCTURE.
I am enclosing a diagram of my two
greenhouses, so that you may inform
me as to the best arrangement »f the
piping. You will note that one of the
houses is already in use and contains
400 feet of 2-inch pipe. This piping,
however, does not furnish sufficient
heat. How much more piping will be
needed to heat the house to 60 degrees
in this part of New York state, where
the outside temperature sometimes falls
as low as 20 degrees below zero! The
flow and return pipes for the new house
will pass through the older one; will
that raise the temperature sufficiently?
What piping will be required for a tem-
perature of 60 degrees in the new
house? I can not flnd a plumber in
this vicinity who has ever piped a
greenhouse. What do you think of
generators? Do they pay for them-
selves in the saving of coal? S. H.
-The sketch submitted shows that the
older house is 16x50 and the new house
15x60. The new house is built across
the end of the older one, so that the
two houses form an L-shaped structure,
with the older house as the upper part
of the L and with the boiler shed at

Where There Is Condeosation
— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in
steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform
temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per-
fectly— return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without
pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that
impulse — write now.

the walls or under the benches. When
the coils reach the mother end of the
house they should be joined to a 3-inch
return pipe and this should be con-
nected with one of the return ports of
the boiler. The returns should, of
course, be given a slight faU.
If the highest part of each of the
flow pipes is connected with the ex-
pansion tank, there will be no need of
air valves. By using generators one
is able to heat the water to a higher
temperature, and this would make it
possible to get along with two less
returns in each house.
STEAM IN SMALL HOUSES.
I am having trouble with my heating
plant. I took out hot water and installea
steam last year, so I could heat my resi-
dence from the greenhouse boiler, I am
using the old pipe ivnder my benches. I
have found the pipes are scaly and stop
up my pot trap, so that the pipes fill up
with water. I am going to take all the
pipes out this summer and clean them
well. I would like you to tell me the
proper way to pipe my house. I want to
install a No. 1 Morehead return steam
trap. Will it operate on fifteen pounds of
steam f That is enough to heat my place.
I have three houses, 20x60, running north
and south. How many lines of pipe are
required in each house to heat to 50 and
' 70 degrees, zero weather! We often have
zero in this section of Ohio. Any infor-
mation will be received with open arms
by me. F. H.

BLOOMSBUBQ, PA.
The location of the Dillon green-
houses was changed last fall to a
new site nearby. The newer houses
were removed and a new plant
erected on a sidehill with a corridor
at either end of the range, making it
complete, with packing room, ofSce and
ice vault. The verbena, which made
the place famous, is still largely grown,
but more attention is paid to roses.
Radiance is popular. A few Perles are
still grown. J. L. Dillon, Jr., has taken
charge and promises to make good.
Wm. Ahlers has purchased the plant
formerly owned by the Bloomsburg
Floral Co. and has it running in fine
shape. Eoses are the main crop.
TO CLEAN GREENHOUSE GLASS.
Can you tell me what is a good solution
to use in cleaning glass in greenhouses?
I have seen an advertisement of some
sort of mixture for this purpose, but it
would cost too much to purchase it in
Chicago and have it shipped to this
part of Oklahoma. W. W.
Without knowing what substance it
is that you desire to clean off the glass,
it is not easy to state what would be
the best cleanser. If you wish to re-
move soot or something of that char-
acter, it will be necessary to use either
a solution of lye or of caustic soda,
both of which are easy to get and are
not costly. But keep these solutions
away from the putty as much as pos-
sible, and also from the hands of the
operator, as the potash and soda are
both injurious to putty or to the skin
of the hands. W. H. T.
New Ulm, Minn.— George Dill, of St.
Paul, has made arrangements for the
construction of greenhouses here. Last
fall he purchased three lots, one block
west of the fair grounds. On that site
he intends to erect two houses, each
18x100, and expects to be ready for
business about April 15. His son, John
Dill, who has been employed as an ex-
pert florist in one of the largest St.
Paul establishments, will have active"
charge of the greenhouses here and
the firm name will be Dill & Son.

The Market.
Trade has been extra good for the last
week or so, with stock rather scarce;
at times it was hard to get enough
to go around. Funeral work Jias been
heavy. Boses have been in fair sup-
ply and the quality is good. Killarney
and White Killarney have been most
in evidence, with quite a few Rich-
mond and Beauty. Mrs. Aaron Ward
has been coming in more freely and
has been finding ready sale. This va-
riety has been ofiF crop since the holi-
days, but the outlook is for a heavy
cut from now on, and it will certainly
be welcome. Carnations have been
good, but the cuts are not up to the
records of previous seasons. Sweet peas
are in good demand for corsage work.
Violets are quite plentiful; the demand
is about as usual. Bulbous stock is
much in evidence, although narcissi
are about done. Tulips are fine and the
demand is good. Murillo is coming in
<juite plentifully now and stems have
improved of late. Daflfodils also are
plentiful, with good! demand.
Pot plants are selling well, mostly
azaleas and bulbous stock, with a
sprinkling of ferns and fern dish stock.

THE FERTILIZER PROBLEM SOLVED
Practically every grower now finds that one of his chief problems
is an adequate supply of first-class Fertilizer — the available quan-
tity of barnyard manures is inedequate, and street and stable
manures are poor, impure and of uncertain value, though expen-
sive. Large growers are meeting the need of a safe, sure, well
> balanced Fertilizer of unlimited supply by using
MINE'S TANKAGE
This Fertilizer, used either in the compost or as a top-dressing, not only supplies the neces-
sary plant foods, but improves the mechanical condition of the soil. Wherever it is tried, it
becomes the standard Fertilizer for cut flower, pot plant and vegetable growers. Here is the

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Business was much better during the
last week and the Lenten season so far
has had little or no effect in the cut
flower trade. Eoses and carnations are
coming in more plentifully and are
choice. Violets and sweet peas have
been in good demand. Azaleas and bulb-
ous stock sell well. Funeral orders con-
tinue to be quite heavy.
Various Notes.
Champion & Co. report funeral orders
as being heavy. This week they have
several wedding decorations.
At Jas. Bruce 's range on Kensington
street everything is in fine shape. He
is cutting choice carnations just now
and by next week his roses will be in
full crop. Bedding stock is thrifty.
There always is an attractive window
display in the store of the S. H. Moore
Oo. Funeral orders are reported as be-
ing heavy.
At the i>lant of the Doolittle Floral
Co. stock is in fine shape for Easter.
The lilies will just be right and the
house of azaleas is right on the dot.
Roses are coming along nicely and will
be in heavy crop around Easter. Bed-
ding stock, which is grown in immense
quantities, is strong and thrifty.
Charles Munro reports funeral orders
as exceptionally heavy and sweet peas
and violets in special demand. This
week he has two large decoration or-
ders, one for Malley's, New Haven's
largest dry goods store, and one for
Mendell & Freedman's spring opening.
Andrew McCrea reports business as
being entirely satisfactory.
Thos. Pattison, the West Haven flo-
rist, is shipping exceptionally choice
callas. He reports a heavy demand for
bulbous stock. He is cutting choice
White Wonder carnations at present.
Boses will be in heavy crop at Easter
and he expects the larger percentage of
his lilies to be on time.
At Jos. J. Sokol's plant everything
is in good shape. His houses of lilies
are exceptionally fine and the Spirsea
Oladstone is certainly a grand lot. Car-
nations continue in heavy crop.
At Johnson's plant in Whitney ville
stock is coming along nicely. For his
Easter trade he has a nice lot of lilies,
«pir8eas, azaleas, cinerarias and primu-
las. Business is reported as being quite
satisfactory. Mr. Johnson disposes of
all the stock he can grow in his local
retail trade. M. B. F.

THE COST OF GLASS.
Before the congressional committee
considering tariff changes H. B. Hilton,
secretary of the National Association
of Window Glass Manufacturers, testi-
fied that skilled labor in the industry
in Belgium costs only 37% cents for
every dollar that labor costs in the
United States, and unskilled labor 35
cents for every dollar that that labor
costs in the United States. He declared
that all materials used except coal are
cheaper in Belgium and demanded an
increased duty against foreign window
glass. He said that sixty per cent of
the cost of making window glass is in
labor and salaries, twenty per cent in
raw material and twenty per cent in
overhead costs. He said that no divi-
dends had been paid in the industry in
recent years, but he attributed this to
the fierce competition at home rather
than to the competition from abroad.
Mr. Hilton conceded that ninety-eight
per cent of the window glass used in the
home market is domestic and two per
cent foreign. The democrats on the
committee contended t^at this fact
showed that the present rates were
practically prohibitive of importations.
Asked whether or not the wages of
glass operatives had not been reduced
during the years of the Dingley and
Payne tariff bills, he said it was, in-
deed, true, the reductions having been
from twenty-five to forty per cent, but
he contended this was due to the use
of patented machinery in the making
of glass. The hand manufacturers of
glass, he added, all suffered from the
introduction of the patented machines
for making glass, and additionally
there has ween much overproduction.
"The competition between the hand
and the machine has been fierce," he
• said. "The machine men have been
able to undersell us."
Independence, la. — John P. Murphy
recently added two new greenhouses
and he is now constructing cement
benches throughout his range.

Two Neighbors' Experiences
BOTH of these are actual photographs of neighbors.
By the merest coincidence our photo man hap-
pened along at just the right time to snap them.
Are yoa like the man on the left, who bought roof
bars that cost less than ours, and when he came to
untie the bundles, the bars jumped all out of shape
because of the unseasoned cypress?
Or are you "the happy folks" kind, like the man on
the right, who paid more for our bars, because they
vrmTB •worth payina: more for?
When he untied his bundles they lay as straight as
when they left the mill machines.
There are no two ways about it, cypress is not fit to
go into a greenhouse until it has air-dried tor not
less than tw^o years.

Then another thing— a grower doesn't expect to get
as good a price for "the ran of the cut" in his roses,
as he does for hii long-stemmed, seleoted ones.
Neither can you expect to buy sap free, sorted cypress
as cheap as you can the "run of the mill" kind.
We sell only the one Idnd; and it's the only kind
worth putting into your house.

QUINCY, ILL.
Gentemann Bros, say their retail
business has been steadily growing and
the last year was one of the best in
their career. The business was started
by their father, C. F. W. Gentemann,
over thirty years ago and the business
has been conducted on the same site,
although on a constantly expanding
scale, ever since. The present members
of the firm are Philip and Herman A.
Gentemann, who are assisted in the
business by their sister, Miss Minnie
Gentemann. Their plant at 636 South
Eleventh street recently has been re-
modeled and is now one of the best and
most completely equipped in this sec-
tion of the country.
In the year 1901 the two brothers •
assumed charge of the plant and had it
thoroughly remodeled. The present
plant is 80x200. The houses are steam
heated. The firm not only does a good
wholesale trade, but an extensive retail
business. The wholesale end covers a
radius of 150 miles.
ELMIBA, N. Y.
The United States Cut Flower Co.
is breaking ground for the addition
to be built by King Construction
Co. Eichard King, the superintendent,
says the returns for stock this season
have been far above the average,
which vouches for quality. Easter
stock is promising; a large batch of
lilies are just right. The method of
transplanting carnations from the cut-
ting bed to the bench and replanting
outdoors has proved such a success that
the entire stock will be treated thus
this season. Mr. King expects to at-
tend the National Flower Show with a
special exhibit of Eichmond roses.
H. N. Hoffman says it has been a
banner season for his nursery business.
While the price of fruits is much lower,
really first-class stock holds its own.
JohnEudy, the carnation specialist, is
giving considerable attention to vio-
lets, of which there are not many
grown in this section. He has a thrifty
stock.

THE DISCRIMINATING BUYER
should appreciate the value of the fine points in good
construction. Here are some of the fine points in the
construction of GARLAND Trussed Iron Frame Houses
The Garland Semi-malleable Cast-iron Gutter and Drip Conductor is
used in all our Iron Frame construction. The Garland Semi-malleable Cast-
iron Eave and Drip Conductor is the only cast-iron eave on the market
today. Both the gutter and the eave carry a continuous glazing strip and
glass stop, as well as a large drip conductor. The wooden rafters are
secured to gutters and eaves by brass screws.
The Ridge Casting is made of the best grade of iron and is so con-
structed that it not only serves as a lock joint for the T-iron rafter, but also
serves as an excellent support for the ridge.
The Angle Iron Purlin is securely
of a small section of angle and four
is punched for glass spacing. Rafters
brass screws and not clips. The T-iron
house structures. The T-iron has a
angle becau
fastened to the T-iron rafter by the use
machine bolts. All angle iron purlin
are fastened to purlin by means of
rafter is best adapted for steel green-
great advantage over the flat bar or
se of its shape, and is therefore better
able to resist buckling than other shapes of steel of like weight and size.
The Post Top, made of best grade of iron, holds the T-iron rafter in its
socket joint and supports the gutter or eave plate. It is threaded to receive
the post, making a solid joint throughout. The casting is counter-bored, so
that thread is protected from corrosion.
The Cast-iron Down Spout is used for draining the roof water and con-
J sists of as many pieces of 4-inch cast-iron pipe as are needed and a 4- inch
double hub cast-iron tee. Note that the drip conductor and pipe is tapped,
into which nipples are screwed. Drainage of drip conductor
is thus secured by connecting the nipples with a short piece
of hose. Downspouts may be placed at any position or
number of positions desired in the run of gutters. All
downspouts are arranged to come inside the house.
The Cast-iron Footpiece not only serves as a good foot-
ing for the post, but also protects the post from corrosion.
The Garland Cast-iron Footpiece is cheap insurance for your
houses.

'pHIS n^w product is the result of experiments covering a period of
about seven years. It is something you have wanted for a long
time. You have been replacing a piece of pipe here and there, putting
in a new iron gutter or repairing the steel work about the house. Here
is a cheap preservative that will increase the life of iron work from
50% to 100%. Heating pipd in stock yards killing rooms that lasted 3 to
4 years, has now been in use 7 years coated with this wonderful paint.
CtThe formula is all our own and METAL-KoTE will not injure flowers
or plants. Heating pipe can be painted at a temperature of over 160
degrees. METAL-KOTE penetrates and is elastic. It does not crack
or peel. Gives off no fumes or vapors. It lasts a long, long time and
pays for itself over and over again.

A MT. CLEMENS WEDDING.
The accompanying illustration shows
a wedding supper decoration done re-
. ently at Mount Clemens, Mich., by
August Von Boeselager, of that city.
The table was seventy-five feet long and
thirty-two feet wide. In the center was
;i pool of water 9 x 16, having in its
center a pretty fountain. A strip of
water five inches wide bordered the
whole table and in this were arranged
Winsor carnations and Paper White nar-
cissi. Twenty-five bags of natural moss
were used on the table, as well as 150
Lorraine begonias and 2,000 Komans, the
begonias being supplied by Eobert
Craig Co., Philadelphia; twenty-five
cases of smilax and 300 Christmas trees
also were used in the decoration. In
the center of the room was suspended a
large bell and around this were a num-
ber of small bells, each of which repre-
sented a month in the year. At mid-
night the bells rang. Sleigh bells under
the table also rang, while a large elec-
tric sign changed from 1912 to 1913, as
it was a New Year's eve wedding. The
bells and lights, 5,000 extra ones being
used, were all controlled by one man.
H. S. .
THE TBEND OF THE TBADE.
Problems of Distribution.
There are those of the more thought-
ful of the men observing the progress
of events in the flower business who
believe that the greater enterprise has
of late been manifested among the pro-
ducers rather than among the dis-
tributors— in other words, that the
growers have outstripped the retailers.
If the condition is as these persons be-
lieve it to be, some interesting develop-
ments are sure to ensue.
If it be true that the problem has
become one of distribution instead of
production, it follows that the retailers
will be called on to take prompt action;
that if, as a body, they do not keep up
with the times, then some close-think-
ing, far-seeing, daring members of the
retail branch will come out in front
with new ways of merchandising the
material at hand — either that or the re-
tailing of flowers will pass into other
hands. It will be another case of the
survival of the fittest. If the stock is
here it must be sold. How and by
whom?
Mass Immobile.
The nature of the retail trade as it
has been conducted has made it difficult
to change as conditions change. It is
not easy to teach old dogs new tricks,
and it is even less easy, after a man
has made at least a living in a certain
way for many years, to turn him to a
course almost the opposite of the one
pursued so long. It would be difficult
to chcange if we were so located that
changing would do any good, but the
majority of retail- floTWIts are outside
the busy downtown centers and in the
quiet backwater of business life. They
don't know how to meet the competi-
tion of the man, possibly not himself a
florist, who opens a flower store on the
main street and applies department
store methods to its management.
For the older florists who have fol-
lowed the established methods, dealing
principally with regular customers, giv-
ing the best service that was within
their ability, charging fair fixed prices
the season through, doing about so
much business all the time, the in-
creased production of cut flowers, when
it began to be apparent a few years
ago, meant little more than the easier
filling of orders. . Later it meant a lit-
tle lower cost price and a little better
profit. It did not mean much increase
in volume of sales.
Then the price cutter came.
But the mass of the trade was im-
mobile; it could not easily adapt itself
to the new conditions. A few, it is
true, have gone out after a big volume
of sales at prices that made the profit
depend as much on the buying as on
the selling. In the big cities the de-
partment stores have either gone into
the flower business or leased space for
outsiders to run flower departments.
The Disparity in Prices.
At first the big buyers were given an
indifferent reception. Some thought
them an aid, others a menace. Then as
production continued to increase they
But he uses only a small part of the
stock that must find an outlet. So the
big buyer steps in. He stands ready to
take what most needs a market. Today
he will have a rose sale; tomorrow, or-
chids; next day, violets; Monday, carna-
tions; it is all the same to him. He
must have a full line, but he works
principally with the flowers that are
most plentiful.
Of course the buyer who isn't partic-
ular what he buys, and will take the
lot, gets a better price than the man
who wants just certain varieties, grades
and quantities. And the increasing pro-
portion of the production that is being
sold to the department store class of
retailers, or to those who are trying
to compete with them, is steadily pull-
ing down the average returns to the
growers. The only saving clause is
that it is only in a bad glut indeed
that much stock goes to waste.
Will Wholesalers Betoil?
Much as the retailers are disturbed
by the changing conditions, the whole-
salers are in many instances still more
discontented. Some of the growers and
wholesalers feel that the retailers have
not been sufficiently alert to broaden
the outlet for flowers; they feel that
the retailers have held prices up in the
face of the rising tide of production
and thereby added to their individual
profits for the moment at the expense
of the whole industry. It probably is
not true that the retail florist has been
enjoying a better margin of profit, all
things considered, thdn has his neigh-
bor, the butcher, grocer or dry goods
man, but he may not have seen just
how to increase his sales in just the
way the grower would have liked.
At any rate, some growers and whole-
salers think it may shortly be up to
them to deal direct with the consumer.
Already several experiments are in
progress in various parts of the country.
This does not refer to those wholesalers

all is not well.

not well handle both, they preferred to
let the wholesale end take second place
rather than relinquish their retail cus-
tomers. But it refers to those • who,^

sale of their stock direct to the public.
These experiments will be watched with
keen interest. If they succeed, others
are sure to try the plan, and if they
fail it is by no means sure that the
reason for failure will be rightly ap-
praised. One of the peculiar things of
this world is the number of people
who can put their finger right on the
weakness in the other fellow that
caused him to fall down, who are sure
they can succeed where the first man
failed.
The growers who are going into re-
tailing are not, it is thought, trying to
take the retailer's occupation or profit
away from him. They merely are sav-
ing their own bacon, as the saying goes.
They see their returns decreasing while
their expenses are going up and they
fear that the facilities for production
have increased faster than the facili-
ties for distribution. They think they
can see the day when the old methods
will no longer serve their purpose and
they want to figure out a new method
before that day dawns. One grower
has a chain of three stores, and several
others have two retail stores each. It
is simply going back to the beginning,
selling, as thousands of successful flo-
rists in the smaller cities sell, the
product of the greenhouses in one or
more downtown stores.
THE GBAND ABMT EMBLEM.
The illustration on page 9 shows
an especially good reproduction of the
G. A. B. badge in flowers. It is the
work of C. P. Mueller, Wichita, Kan.
Some who have made the badge will
note certain variations here from the
ordinary design. It is because this was
the reproduction of the badge worn by
an officer. From the florists' point of
view the excellence of the design is that
it was made on a broad green back-
ground. Usually the florist makes it
without a background and he has his
troubles in reproducing the flag in flow-
ers and getting any sort of recognizable
form. Here an actual flag was used,
with only the metal parts of the badge
in flowers and chenille. The cycas
leaves add to the striking character of
the illustration, though many will ques-
tion the effect in the design itself,
thinking they stand too far from the
piece.
HYDBANOEAS.
C. G. Anderson, of Poehlmann Bros.
Co., Morton Grove, 111., is not one of
those who think that the new French
hydrangeas will drive Otaksa out of the
running as an Easter plant. In support
of his contention that it takes some-
thing pretty- good to displace Otaksa he
presents the photograph reproduced to
accompany this note. It shows one of
the hydrangeas -flowered for blaster by
Mr. Anderson.
LISTEN TO 'AEBY!
This is from the Horticultural Trade
Journal (British) of March 5:
MH. E. Philpott, florist, Winnipeg,
Canada, who left Kent thirty years
ago, is now on a visit to England, and
attended the B. H. S. show yesterday.
In the evening he was the guest of C.
Engelmann, at the Horticultural Club,
and afterwards attended a meeting of
the Perpetual Flowering Carnation So-
ciety, where he received a cordial wel-
come. In the course of his remarks,
Mr. Philpott said he arrived at his des-
tination in Canada with fourpence in
his pocket, and had now retired from
business with £25,000 to his credit."
CYFBESSENE.
Dr. Allan F. Odell, assistant professor
of chemistry in the Louisiana State
University, has undoubtedly performed
a distinct service to humanity in his
successful isolation of the essential oil,
which he named Cypressene, as the re-
sult of a series of experiments with
sawdust from cypress lumber and
shingles. He claims, and other well
known chemists agree with him, that
this is the peculiar quality in the wood,
cypress, that gives to it the lasting
properties for which it has been famous
since the earliest times.
It is now more than two years since
Dr. Odell began his search for the prop-
erty of endurance in this wood, and
after trying other methods, he took as
the last one available to chemists the
"destructive" process. He placed 275
gallons of sawdust in a large iron
retort and subjected it to a roasting,
distilling the gases and steam. This
Hydrangea Otakia.
process produced 125 gallons of dis-
tillate— a tar-like liquid composed of
wood alcohol, creosote, acid common to
all woods, and the much sought Cy-
pressene. This latter constituent has
never been found in the by-products of
other woods when submitted to a like
test, and he declares ' it is the peculiar
property of cypress. He thinks it is
the presence of this oil that gives to
cypress its endurance when exposed to
trying climatic conditions and the "wet
and dry" of boat-building and green-
houses.
In a paper read before the Louisiana
section of the American Chemical So-
ciety, Dr. Odell said: "Consider for the
moment one use to which this tar oil
might be put. In the creosoting of
crossties and the like, oil from other
woods is used, thereby quadrupling the
life of the tie. Now, the crude tar oil
from cypress, in addition to the creo-
sote, contains a large amount of the
sesquiterpens (which he named Cypress-
ene) and this pressed into the tie would
prolong the life of the tie indefinitely
— for example, it should give to a hard
wood, such as oak, the everlasting prop-
erties of the softer cypress."
If Dr. Odell is correct in his conclu-
sions, and there seems to be no doubt
among scientists that he is right, his
discovery of the vital principle of lon-
gevity in cypress wood means much to
those who are forced by business con-
ditions to use lumber and timbers in ex-
posed places. If hardwood may be
given the unequaled properties of en-
durance known to be present in cypress
a valuable discovery has been made.
It raises then the question of supply,
and that is one for the cypress mills
of the south to settle. At the present,
as we understand it, not a large per-
centage of them are equipped for ex-
tracting the by-products of the wood,
but no doubt they will properly equip
to meet the demand, so far as possible,
for this new wood product, Cypressene.

set forth in the prize schedule.
BOSTON.
The Market.
There is a little improvement notice-
able in cut flower conditions. Prices as
yet show small advances only in certain
lines, and no striking rise in prices
seems probable for Easter. Usually Sat-
urday is a good cleaning up day, but
March 15 proved an exception to this
rule, trade being excessively dull, and
many flowers remained unsold. Bosea
are decidedly soft and prices are, if any-

thing, lower than a week ago. High
^rade American Beauties are likely to
be a scarce article for Easter. Hardly
uny are now to be seen and the demand
tor the short-stemmed stock is poor. A
Jew of the newer varieties, such as Sun-
burst, Taft, Ward, etc., sell fairly well,
but the older sorts are druggy. The
demand for White Killarney, which has
been good, has fallen oflf. Carnations
are in a. little better condition than
roses. As most flowers are now oflf crop,
it seems unlikely that there will be
any decided advance in price even on
these.
Violets have been having a hard time
of it, but better things are looked for
:it the end of the current week, and the
same is true of sweet peas, which are
likely to sell well. Cut lilies sell all
the way from $6 to $10 per hundred.
Callas are going slowly. Bulbous stock
has been quite a drug of late and prices
have been unprofitable. Snapdragons
are more abundant. Pink shades have
the call over all others. The dark
shades are hard to sell. Valley is doing
a little better, and is likely to be in
active demand for Easter. The call for
cattleyas has been rather disappointing
of late. TriansB is much more popular
than SchroedersB. Gardenias have been
going rather slowly. The quality is ex-
ceptionally good. Quite a variety of
miscellaneous flowers arrive. Sales on
these are uncertain. For green stock
the demand shows a decided improve-
ment.
Pot plant trade is booming, and every
local grower is pretty well sold out. It
looks like a plant Easter again. Lilies
are likely to be sufficient for all de-
mands. Prices are $10 and $12 per hun-
dred flowers and buds. Ramblers in
many varieties seem to come second in
popularity, but the sales of genistas,
azaleas, bulb pans, acacias, etc., are all
excellent.
Club Meeting.
There was an attendance of 150 at
the meeting of the Boston Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, March 18, in spite
of the proximity of Easter. Several new
members were elected. Edwin Jenkins
gave a splendid lecture on sweet peas,
which was followed by an animated dis-
cussion. Wni. Sim was awarded a cul-
tural report of merit for grand vases
of Christmas Pink, Mrs. Smalley and
Florence Denzer sweet peas. There was
considerable discussion on publicity,
good progress being made. Arrangements
were completed for the trip to the New
York show, a large delegation being
assured.
Various Notes.
The trade will learn with regret of
the death, March 18, of the youngest
child of E. Allan Peirce, a girl of 2
years of age.
F. W. Fletcher has renamed his new
snapdragon, Melrose, finding that an
English variety named Aurora was al-
ready on the market. Mr. Fletcher has
several pink snapdragons with true
waved flowers, a great advance on the
hooded type.
The Boston Cooperative Flower Mar-
ket will hold its flower show at the
market on Park street, April 12. W. H.
Elliott is chairman of the exhibition
committee and an attractive lot of
prizes has already been secured, includ-
ing several silver cups.
Shamrocks were quite a feature in
many retailers' windows this year. Gal-
vin had one of his large windows at-
G. A. R. Badsfe in Flowers by C. P. Mueller, 'Wichita, Kansas.
tractively arranged with them. While
there was a large sale of shamrocks, the
supply was more than equal to the
demand this year.
John Barr is one of the most success-
ful of our local growers of carnations
and no better kept commercial place is
to be found in this vicinity. In addi-
tion to his fine variegated seedling, Mrs.
B. F. Cheney, he grows White Wonder,
White Perfection, Pink Delight, Glori-
osa. Beacon and Winsor. His last Lord
& Burnham house, 35 x 300, is now a
grand sight, and he hopes to build more
like it before long.
Penn, on Bromfield street, has been
making a special line of rambler roses
in baskets at $1..10 each and has had a
great demand for them.
Geo. E. Buxton has a remarkable
sport on his Killarney pink snapdragon,
which he descriles as having more the
appearance of a hyacinth spike than
anything else.
Great interest is being taken in the
coming New York show and a large at-
tendance from Boston and vicinity is
assured.
F. J. Dolansky & Co. have a grand
crop of cattleyas and gardenias for
Easter. On the latter they have the
field practically to themselves, as other
growers seem unable to flower the plants
in winter.
In Sydney Hoflfman 's window displays,
which included a fine assortment of
beautifully grown plants, some fine spec-
imen dendrobiums from J. T. Butter-
worth 's were noted last week.
Thomas J. Grey, who retired from the
firm of T. J. Grey Co., and sold out his
interest in the business, has accepted a
position with Joseph Breck & Sons, the
firm with which he got his first insight,
into the seed business. Mr. Grey is
one of the best known seedsmen in New
England and is well and favorably
known by a host of private gardeners,
as well as by those in the trade.
Mr. and Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy will
be among those attending the New
York show. Mr. Tracy reports the de-
mand for gladioli as being remarkably
good.
The Sutermeister Estate, of Read-
ville, and Mann Bros., of Randolph, are
each cutting some fine Spanish iris.
Local growers and retailers are hoping
that the weather at the end of the cur-
rent week will be as mild as last week.
March 15 we had a minimum of .58 de-
grees, a maximum of 68 degrees, and a
real summer thunderstorm, for variety,
at night.
R. & J. Farquhar & Co. have the
greenhouses at their Roslindale estab-
lishment entirely devoted to the raising
of new Chinese plants, of which they
have an immense stock. These will be
grown at their new nursery on Cape
Cod, where hybrid rhododendrons also
are being finely grown.
Among visitors the last week were
R. T. Brown, Queens, N. Y.; J. R.
Fotheringham, Tarrytown, N. Y.; W. A.
Manda, South Orange, N. .L; Thomas
Knight, New York; John Ash. Pomfret,

PETEB OLSEM'S PET.
In Carnation The Herald Peter Olsem
has carried forward the work begun by
the late James Hartshorne. He began
where Mr. Hartshorne left off. The
Herald is the result of a cross between
two of Mr. Hartshorne 's unnamed
seedlings, one of them having also been
one of the seed parents of Harlowarden.
The illustration on page 11 shows
the house of The Herald grown this
year by Mr. Olsem at the establish-
ment of the Chicago Carnation Co.,
Joliet, 111. The house contains 6,000
plants, from March struck cuttings
benched in the first part of August.
The house was in good crop October 1
and it was on the bench shown that the
blooms were taken that won first pre-
mium in the classes for red at the St.
Paul and Cleveland flower shows in
November. The photograph was taken
in January, when 15,000 cuttings had
already been taken from the plants. To
date 75,000 cuttings have been rooted
and shipped, going into every state in
the Union, which insures The Herald
receiving a thorough trial next season.
Orders on hand assure a sale exceed-
ing 100,000 before the season is over.
Both Mr. Olsem and Mr. Pyfer are well
pleased with the way the trade has
taken to The Herald and they say that
the behavior of the variety in their
house this season leads them to believe
that it will have an even larger sale
next year.
CARNATION BSEEDING.
[A paper by William Stuart, •t the U. S.
Department of Ag^rlculture, read at a recent
meeting of the Florists' Club of Washington, at
Washington, D. C]
When I was invited by the chairman
of your program committee to give you
an address on some phase of carnation
breeding, my first impulse was to plead
a lack of ability, as well as of time to
accept such an undertaking. The per-
sistence and winning persuasive powers
of your chairman, however, were of
such a nature that I could not well do
otherwise than accept his invitation,
but with this understanding, that I
would not be expected to occupy much
of your valuable time.
It may not be inappropriate at the
outset to say that my first interest in
the carnation dates back nearly a quar-
ter of a century, when as a young man
I began a three-year greenhouse ap-
prenticeship. This was prior to the
day of the long-stemmed carnation,
when such varieties as Boule d» Neige
and Alegatiere were in their zenith.
Carnation breeding was little practiced
in those days. The writer first became
directly interested in plant breeding
some nine years ago, when, as horti-
culturist at the Vermont Station, car-
nation breeding was indulged in partly
as a diversion and partly to study some
problems connected with the work of
breeding. The results of some of these
studies were presented in the twentieth
annual report of the Vermont Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in 1908, pages
355 to 358, under the caption of "Sea-
sonal Influence in Carnation Crossing
Relative to Seed Production." The con-
clusions arrived at from this investiga-
tion were that the early crosses — that
is, those made in October and Novem-
ber— seemed to give a considerably
higher percentage of successes, a much
larger number of seeds per capsule; a
higher percentage of germination and
apparently heavier seed. The prob-
able reason for better results from the
early crosses was assumed to be the
greater vigor of the plants rather than
seasonal influence.
Norton's Theory.
In the winter of 1907-08, investiga-
tions were undertaken looking toward
the corroboration or disproval of Nor-
ton's theory, expressed in December,
1904, with respect to the possibility
of our commercial carnation being an
unfixed hybrid between a single and a
true double. Carnation seedlings were
I classed into three groups, singles, semi-
doubles and doubles. The semi-double
represented the commercial florists'
type, and the double, what is known as
the bullhead.
These investigations were pursued at
the Vermont Station during the winters
of 1907-08 and 1908-09, and in the
greenhouses at the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, at Arlington
Farm, in 1910-11. The results of this
inquiry are now embodied in a report
soon to be issued in bulletin form by
the Vermont Experiment Station.
The crosses which were made may be
clai^sed under five groups:
1. Single X single.
2. Single x double.
.S. Commercial x single.
4. Commercial x commercial.
5. Double X double.
In the first group twenty-two crosses
netted 354 flowering plants, of which
all were single.
In group 2, single x double, forty-
four crosses gave 1,004 flowering plants,
of which four were single, 988 com-
mercial and twelve double; percentages,
respectively, of .4, 98.4 and 1.2.
Six crosses in group 3, commercial x
single, resulted in forty-one flowering
plants, of which twenty-one were single
and twenty commercial; percentages, re-
spectively, of 51.2 and 48.8.
Twenty-four crosses in group 4, com-
mercial X commercial, netted 260 flow-
ering plants, of which sixty-two were
single and 198 semi-double and double;
percentages, respectively, of 23.8 and
76.2.
In group 5 all efforts to cross double
with double were unsuccessful. This is
in direct corroboration of similar efforts
by Norton. It does not necessarily
prove, however, that such crosses can-
not be effected.
In order that we may fully under-
stand the significance of the above re-
sults, it seems desirable to enter into a
brief discussion of the principles of
heredity as exemplified in Mendel's
law of inheritance.
Mendel's Law of Inheritance.
While you are all more or less famil-
iar with the Mendelian theory of in-
heritance, it may not be amiss to pre-
sent at this time a brief interpreta-
tion of it, in order that we may better
understand the discussion which is to
follow. In 1900 Hugo de Vries redis-
covered an old paper by Gregor Men-
del, which had been presented before a
scientific society in Brunn, Austria, in
February and March, 1865. This paper
contained a detailed account of care-
fully conducted investigations with the
garden pea, in which the inheritance of
certain definite characters was noted.
Only such varieties of the garden pea
were selected for the work as had been
proven by several seasons' culture to
reproduce themselves absolutely true
from seed. Another desideratum in
their choice was that they possess op-
posing pairs of unit characters,
Mendel studied seven pairs of these
opposing characters, one of which will
be sufficient to illustrate the method he
pursued. This pair of characters were
round and wrinkled seed. These, being
well defined characters, were easy to
study and to interpret in the resulting
progeny. It was found that the hy-
brids of this cross, or the Fi genera-
tion, gave all round seeds and this
character was therefore called the dom-
inant one. In the F2 generation, from
self-fertilized plants, he found that
there was a splitting up of these char-
acters in a fairly uniform and definite
ratio. On an average this ratio ap-
proximated seventy-five per cent round
and twenty-five per cent wrinkled. The
wrinkled pea was then said to be re-
cessive to the round. In the subse-
jr

quent generation, wrinkled seeds pro-
duced all wrinkled, while twenty -five
per cent of the round gave all rounds
and the remaining fifty gave wrinkled
and round in the same proportion as
the F2 generation. From these data
Mendel formulated the following nu-
merical ratio for the F2 generation of
hybrids: 1:2:2, or twenty-five per cent
dominants, fifty per cent dominant re-
cessives and twenty-five per cent re-
cessives.
Explanation of Terms Used.
To facilitate further discussion along
this line, the algebraic expression
R+2RW-f E will be used to denote
the numerical value of the hybrids, R
denoting round, and W wrinkled, and
R W the hybrid between R and W. In
the hybrid R W the recessive W is
written in the lower case, thus R w.
Such an expression always denotes an
unexpressed or recessive character. For
the purpose of further discussion, it
seems desirable to introduce other
terms which are inimical to brevity and
to clear expression of thought. The
first term to be considered is that of
the gamete. This term is employed by
the biologist to denote the sexual cells
of a plant. It is supposed to contain
all of the heritable characters of a
plant or animal. The fusion of a male
and female gamete results in the for-
mation of what is technically known as
a zygote. If the fusing gametes are
of a similar constitution — that is, pos-
sessing identical unit characters, as in
the case of pure strains of plants — th(
resulting zygote is called a homozygote
because it possesses a homogeneous
constitution. On the other hand, if
gametes of unlike constitution fuse With
each other the resulting union is called
a heterozygote, because it contains un-
like opposing characters. Therefore
each ovule and pollen grain developed
in plants produced from the R w seed
would theoretically contain the R and
W characters, and, according to the law
of chance, would combine in about
equal proportions. This may be best
illustrated in the following manner:
Ovule
Pollen
Singles Crossed Witb Doubles.
In group 2 we have an entirely dif-
ferent proposition. Here the female
seed parent possesses the S unit, and
the pollen or male parent the D or dou-
ble character. By combining these we
get the hybrid D s, as follows:
Ovule
Pollen
S
W ---
Equals R -f 2 R w -f W, or the expression
of 1: 2: 1.
It is important, however, to remem-
ber that Mendelian inheritance only
gives such an expression as the above
when the plants employed are gametic-
ally pure; that is, in which two oppos-
ing or contrasting characters do not
exist in the same gamete. With this
conception of Mendelian inheritance
and the factors which govern its ex-
pression, we may now redirect our at-
tention to the data previously sub-
mitted with reference to the results
secured from crosses in groups 1 to 4.
In group 1 singles were crossed with
singles, and it will be remembered that
the resulting progeny were all single-
flowered. In this case it is evident that
the ovules and pollen grains of the sin-
gle flowering carnation only contain the
S unit character, and for that reason
it is only possible for the parent plants
to transmit the S unit to their progeny.
Equals D s. S being recesslre, It Is unex-
pressed.
Theoretically, then, the first genera-
tion hybrids all produce flowers of the
commercial type. The data presented
show that, while this was closely ap-
proximated, it was not absolutely at-
tained. Of the 1,004 seedlings which
were flowered, four produced single
flowers, 988 commercial, and twelve
were classed as doubles. In the light
of our present knowledge there is some
reason to doubt the accuracy of the
observation upon the twelve doubles
noted. It is quite possible that they
may have been rather fuU-petaled
bursters of the commercial type. How-
ever, be this as it may, the evidence
seems to overwhelmingly support the
idea that the single and double unit
characters of the carnations are sepa-
rate and distinct entities. The pres-
ence of a single plant in each of four
crosses may be accounted for by as-
suming that, through some accident in
making the cross or in emasculating the
flower, a pollen grain from a single
may have been transferred to the
stigma from the forceps used in per-
forming the operation. The percent-

ages of singles, commercials and dou-
bles from group 2 were respectively .4,
98.4 and 1.2. Theoretically, there
should not have been any singles or
doubles. As already explained in the
case of the doubles, it is not at all
certain that they were true doubles.
In group 3 a different set of factors
are involved. Here we have the Da
hybrid ovules crossed with pollen from
the gametically pure single. This cross
is expressed in the following manner:
Ovule Pollen
D~ - - - _
S - - - -
Equals D s + S.
While the data obtained from this
cross are too meager to permit of much
generalization, it nevertheless closely
approached the Mendelian ratio. Theo-
retically, fifty per cent of the seedling
plants should have produced single
flowers and the remaining fifty per
cent those of the commercial type. The
figures actually obtained were 51.2 per
cent single and 48.8 per cent commer-
cial.
Slightly different factors were in-
volved in group 4. In this cross we
are dealing with the unfixed hybrid in
both parents, and in consequence have
the opposing unit characters in both
parents as shown in the following dia-
gram:
Ovule
Pollen
.- D
S'---
* S
In this, according to the law of
chance, the probable combination would
be D + 2D8 + S, or 1:2:1. The dia-
gram shows how these characters may
combine. The data obtained from
such crosses show that of the 200 plants
flowered, sixty-two produced single
flowers and 198 commercial and double,
or percentages respectively of 23.8 and
76.2. The theoretical percentage should
have been 25 per cent single and 75
per cent commercial and double. No
attempt was made to distinguish be-
tween the double and the commercial.

NEW YORK.
The Market.
A dull week was enlivened by a brisk
business March 15, Saturday, when
West Twenty-eighth street showed re-
freshing activity. There are, of course,
calamity howlers who decry the market
as "the worst ever," but an accommo-
dating and statistical dealer, referring
to his sales for the last few years,
found that his sales for the correspond-
ing week of 1912 were just 63 cents
smaller, indicating that conditions are
about the same as for the correspond-
ing season of previous years.
American Beauties took a further
tumble to 40 to 50 cents for specials,
with no great business even at this low
figure. The lower grades have also
weakened. Teas are in good supply at
10 cents for choice blooms, down to 2
cents for culls. Choice long-stemmed
Chatenays and Eichmonds bring as
much as 12 cents. Dark cattleyas bring
20 to 35 cents, or even 40 cents, and
move off well. Schroederae continues
dull and may be had at almost any
price. The quotations range from 10
cents up. Carnations are looking up
somewhat and for choice white as much
as 5 to 6 cents was demanded on the
eve of St. Patrick's day. Commission
men who have been firm at these figures
have sold some, but carried over more
than they sold. Many, however, have
sold at 4 cents. Despite the early
Easter, lilies are plentiful and of good
quality; 8 cents was the top notch for
choice blooms last week. Valley shows
a slight improvement, but is still far
from strong; fine, long, freshly cut val-
ley can be had at 3 cents and good
flowers at a shade under that. Gar-
denias are quiet. Choice blooms are not
plentiful. The run of the market
brings $1 to $2.50 per dozen. Sweet
peas are plentiful, particularly in the
lower grades, which go as low as 10
cents per dozen bunches. For choice
Spencer sorts as much as $1 or even
$1.25 is paid. Violets are a little firmer,
Governor Herrick bringing 10 to 20
cents, Marie Louise 20 to 30 cents and
Princess of Wales 30 to 40 cents -for
long-stemmed flowers. The supply is
abundant. Narcissus poeticus ornatus
is a drug on the market at 75 cents to
$1.25 per hundred. Paper Whites are
less plentiful, the supply beginning to
fall off. They bring $1.25 to $2. Cal-
las attract but little attention, sales
being made at the previous quotation
of 60 cents to $1.25 per dozen. Hya-
cinths are giving out, but demand is
correspondingly slack. Daffodils sold
at 50 cents to $2. Southern supplies
are arriving and go for a song. Tulips
are quoted at $1 to $3 per hundred.
Stocks are plentiful at 25 cents. Daisies
bring 75 cents to $1.25 per hundred.
Mignonette is in ample supply at 75
cents to $1. Supplies of antirrhinum
exceed the demand at 50 cents to $1
per bunch.
The prospects, a week before Easter,
were for an abundance of stock of all
kinds and no specially high prices were
in sight.
Varioua Notes.
The most interesting feature of the
March exhibition of the Horticultural
Society of New York, held at the Amer-
ican Museum of Natural History March
15, was a collection of cut orchids, the
first prize for which was awarded to
W. H. Waite, gardener for Samuel Unter-
myer. Mr. Waite was also awarded
first prizes for an oncidium, a Dendro-
bium Wardianum and a Cattleya Tri-
anse, all in bloom. M. Anderson, gar-
dener for George W. Perkins, won two
special prizes for displays of schizan-
thus and of primulas. A. Anderson,
gardener for Mrs. F. B. Van Vorst, was
awarded a special prize for a hybrid
orchid. A handsome lot of Christmas
Pink, Mrs. Alex. Wallace and Snowbird
sweet peas shown by John Canning,
gardener for A. Lewisohn, also won a
first prize.
The New York seed houses uniformly
report the "best season ever." And
there are ample evidences of the ac-
curacy of their characterization of the
situation.
Peter Henderson & Co. are shaving off
six inches of their Cortlandt street
front in compliance with the require-
ments of the Bureau of Incumbrances,
which has been rectifying the building
line throughout the city.
James Daly's Sons have a fine show
of bulbous plants of their own growing
at their greenhouses, Nineteenth street
and Ninth avenue, at the entrance to
Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn. They
have grown this year 20,000 lilies and
65,000 other bulbs and have had prac-
tically no failures. It has been a ban-
ner year with them. They grow other
things besides bulbs; in fact, they grow
everything they sell.
Frank McKee, of the Fulton Street
Florist, was elected a member of the
board of directors at the meeting of the
Greater New York Florists' Associa-
tion March 12.
Among the visitors last week were
Frank K. Lamereaux, of Port Jervis,
N. Y., and E. W. McLellan, of San
Francisco. Mr. McLellan returned to
New York from a New England trip,
during which he visited the establish-
ments of Thomas Eoland, at Nahant,
Mass., the Montgomery Eose Co., at
South Hadley, Mass., and A. N. Pier-
son, at Cromwell, Conn.
Walter E. Siebrecht says that not-
withstanding the depression in sweet
peas, he is getting $1.25 to $1.50 for
Spencers and other special lots. He
also showed some fine bouvardia, which
is scarce in this market.
The wife of James J. Hart, Jr., of
West Twenty-sixth street, died March
14.
Sidney Bayersdorfer, Paul Berkowitz
and Martin Eeukauf, all of H. Bay-
ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, were in
New York March 15 and looked over
the floor at the Grand Central Palace
with Secretary John Young, selecting a
location for their exhibit at the Na-
tional Flower Show.
A meeting of the ladies' entertain-
ment committee for the flower show was
held at the call of Mrs. Traendly, the
chairman, at the Hotel Woodstock,
Tuesday afternoon, March 18.
BOSTON SPRING SHOW.
An Excellent Exhibition.
Any fears held that the coming In-
ternational Show in New York would
adversely affect the exhibits at the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society's
spring show March 14 to 16 proved
groundless, for few finer exhibitions
have been held by the society. Messrs.
Eoland, M. H. Walsh and one or two
other large commercial exhibitors were
not represented this year, but groups
from several large private estates made
up these deficiencies. The show was
well arranged, by James Wheeler, and
the quality of the exhibits was un-
usually good.
For three Azalea Indica J. L. Smith,
gardener to A. W. Preston, was first,
and M. Sullivan, gardener to Wm. Whit-
man, second. Duncan Finlayson, gar-
dener at Weld Garden, had the best
pair of palms. George Page, gardener
to Mrs. Frederick Ayer, was second,
and William Whitman, third. For six
ericas Mrs. F. Ayer was first, also for
group of acacias covering 100 square
feet. For specimen acacias Weld Gar-
den won, with splendid specimens of
A. longifolia and A. pubescens. For
six hard-wooded plants of other vari-
eties, second went to Weld Garden and
third to Wm. Thatcher, gardener to
Mrs. J. L. Gardner. For a group of
rambler and other roses W. W. Edgar
Co. took first prize.
Cyclamens were splendidly shown.
For twelve plants W. C. Eust, gardener
to Mrs. C. G. Weld, led, followed by
Weld Garden and Mrs. J. L. Gardner.

First Prize Group of Cyclamens in Foreground of the Boston Spring Show.
For six specimens in not over 10-inch
pots competition was close, E. H. Wet-
terlow, gardener to Mrs. Lester Leland,
won. Weld Garden was second and Mrs.
E. G. Weld third. For six Cineraria
stellata, William Whitman was first and
Mrs. J. L. Gardner second, the latter
being first for six Cineraria grandiflora.
Mrs» Lester Leland showed the best six
schizanthus, immense specimens, with
Weld Garden second.
The prizes for Dutch bulbous plants
brought out an excellent competition.
The leading prize winners were Dr. C.
G. Weld, Wm. Whitman, A. W. Preston,
Geo. Barker, gardener to A. F. Esta-
brook; B. G. Chamberlain, gardener to
Francis Skinner; Mrs. J. L. Gardner
and J. T. Butterworth, and in the ama-
teur classes H. S. Band and Miss M. A.
Band. Dr. C. G. Weld had the best
twelve aniaryllis and Francis Skinner
won for six pots of longiflorum lilies.
For general display of spring bulbous
plants Mrs. J. L. Gardner took first and
second with two fine collections.
For a group of orchids Donald Mc-
Kenzie, gardener to E. B. Dane, was the
only exhibitor. Some choice hybrids
were included. For specimen orchid W.
A. Manda won, with a finely flowered
Phalsenopsis Schilleriana. Mrs. Lester
Leland was second, with Cattleya Per-
civaliana. Weld Garden was third.
The rose classes, as usual, were rather
lightly contested, for, with liberal prizes
offered and roses hard to sell in the
markets, local growers should have
made a better showing. For four va-
rieties, twelve blooms each, W. H. El-
liott won. He also was first for twenty-
five Lady Hillingdon, first for twenty-
five pink, with C. Miller, and second for
Killarney, the Waban Bose Conserva-
tories being first. They also took the
silver medal for the best new rose, with
Mrs. Chafles Bussell.
The carnation men made a good show-
ing, the flowers being of uniformly high
quality. For 100 blooms of one variety
A. A. Pembroke took first and second.
For fifty crimson W. B. Nicholson won,
with fine Pocahontas. Scott Bros, were
second, with British Triumph. For
white A. A. Pembroke took first and
third with White Wonder and White
Enchantress, and C. S. Strout second
with White Wonder. For fifty dark
pink A. A. Pembroke took first with
Bosette, and S. J. Goddard second with
Helen Goddard. In the Enchantress
shade class S. J. Goddard, C. S. Strout
and A. A. Pembroke won in the order
named, all showing splendid Pink De-
light. For variegated A. A. Pembroke
was again in the lead with Benora,
Ja^es Wheeler being second with the
same variety. In the Winsor shade class
A. A. Pembroke and S. J. Goddard took
first and second with Gloriosa.
Edward Bingham took first for both
single and double violets. William Sim
captured all the firsts for sweet peas,
with superb flowers, being in addition
awarded a cultural certificate for them.
There were fine lots of antirrhinums
shown. For twenty-five spikes prizes
went to F. W. Fletcher, James Wheeler
and Geo. E. Buxton.
There were eight entries for best
table decoration laid for six covers. Mrs.
Duncan Finlayson took first, having a
lightly arranged centerpiece of Christ-
mas Pink sweet peas. Wax Bros, took
second, using a mixture of yellow mar-
guerites and blue cornflowers. H. E.
Comley was third, using yellow roses.
In the way of miscellaneous exhibits
William Sim had a grand display of
pansies and was awarded a silver medal.
He also received a silver medal for an
artistic display of Princess of Wales
violets. Knight & Struck Co. showed
a nice collection of ericas and other
hard-wooded plants. Mrs. E. M. Gill
had a general display. F. W. Fletcher
had a table of antirrhinums, including
his new waved type. Thomas Q. Watt
showed orchids, strelitzias and statices.
B. & J. Farquhar & Co. received a silver
medal for a fine lot of cyclamens. They
also had a group of the yellow Jas-
minum primulinum.

silver medal for a collection of narcissi
and tulips, including a number of the
newer varieties. The Breck-Bobinson
Co. had a nice collection of evergreens
and was awarded honorable mention.
E. B. Dane received a silver medal for
Brasso-Cattleya Bowena. T. D. Hat-
field, gardener to Walter Hunnewell,
had a large group of palms and Erica
melanthera and was awarded a silver
medal. W. A. Manda showed several
novelties: Anthericum Mandaianum,
Begonia Mrs. Kimball and Nephrolepis
tuberosa plumosa received honorable
mention.
S. J. Goddard received honorable men-
tion for a seedling crimson carnation,
No. 59, and H. A. Stevens the same
award for his new shrimp pink seedling,
Eleanor. F. B. Pierson Co. showed

attention and were awarded a silver
medal. Eric Wetterlow had a nice bas-
ket of trained genista. W. C. Rust
showed a nice collection of dendrobiums
and foliage plants.
M. A. Patten had a fine vase of Car-

The Market.
Business was rather quiet last week,
as is always the case before a rush.
The outlook for Eaater is good and,
with the present fine weather, this year
will be a record-breaker. There is
enough stock to go around, but no over-
supply. For some time the growers
have been forcing their stock and when
last week we bad exceedingly warm
weather it looked as though consider-
able stock would be lost, but March
15 it turned cold and saved the day.
Azaleas will not be any too plentiful
this year, as many came blind. The
cut flower market is well prepared for
the rush and when this is in print the
local commission houses will be heels
over head in flowers of every descrip-
tion.
Vaxious Notes.
It appears as though the florists of
the state of Michigan will win their
fight against the two bills affecting
greenhouse heating, which were pre-
sented at Lansing recently. The De-
troit Florists ' Club 's committee has had
this matter in hand on behalf of the
florists of this vicinity and about all
that remains to be done now is to pay
the bills. Many growers locally and
throughout the state have already re-
sponded to the call for funds sent out
by Secretary Hugo Schroeter.
Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros.,
is enthusiastic about Philadelphia car-
nation. Its beautiful color especially
appeals to him.
A baby arrived at the home of Rob-
ert Klagge, in Mount Clemens, last
week. The mother, who was formerly
Miss Hattie Holzhauer, is doing nicely.
With both of its parents florists, this
little one will surely become a lover of
nature.
H. G. Dreyer, of Dreyer & Sons,
Cleveland, was a recent visitor in De-
troit, where he showed many novelties
in the way of plant stands.
Among the Detroit florists who will
attend the New York show are Chas.
H. Plumb and wife.
Taepke's have a fine stock of forget-
me-not plants for Easter, which have
met with a rapid sale.
Breitmeyer's had the decorations for
the spring opening at J. L. Hudson's,
which was more elaborate than ever
before. Spring flowers were used.
Mrs. E. A. Fetters is a strong advo-
cate of woman's suffrage and is taking
an active interest in furthering the
equal suffrage cause.

his chauffeur, who has been driving his

WASHINGTON.
The Market.
Business last week was not quite so
brisk as it has been, partly on account
of the fact that most of the days were
rainy. Funeral work, however, has
kept the stores quite busy and there
have been some few good dinner decora-
tions. Everything is in readiness for
the Easter business, which ia expected
this year to break all previous records.
There is little doubt that there will be
plenty of flowers to fill all demands and
the probabilities are that the quality
of the majority of stock will be good.
The regular forces in the stores are be-
ing augmented by the addition of, in
some cases, from fifteen to thirty bi-
cycle delivery boys, and any stray idec-
orators who happen to be in town to-
ward the end of the week will be im-
pressed into the service.
Club Meeting.
The annual election of of&cers, plans
for a banquet to be held next month
and the trip to the show in New York
were the main items of business at the
monthly m|eting of the Florists' Club.
As a result of the election Otto Bauer,
of the Washington Florists' Co., will
serve as president during the ensuing
year, having defeated 0. A. C. Oehm-
ler by one vote. On motion of the lat-
ter, the election was made unanimous.
The name of President David G. Grill-
bortzer had also been placed in nom-
ination, but he declined a reelection.
George Cooke was made vice-president,
William F. Gude, treasurer, and Elmer
Mayberry, secretary. After two bal-
lots David Bisset and William Earnest
were declared elected as trustees, from
a field of six.
The annual banquet will be held
shortly after the return of the members
from the New York show. It was de-
cided to have this affair open to ladies
also, and to it will be invited the heads
of the District government and other
prominent men. Mr. Gude, chairman,
reported his committee would have some
good surprises in his "menu" of en-
tertainment on that evening.
James Wilson, former secretary of
agriculture, was elected an honorary
member of the club.
The firm of J. R. Freeman had on ex-
hibition a collection of about fifty car-
nations of standard varieties. The
amaryllis presented by Mr. Burns, su-
perintendent of the propagating gar-
dens, elicited considerable admiration
because of their size.
Various Notes.
S. Kann, Sons & Co., at their depart-
ment store, are again holding a sale of
rose bushes, vines and flowering shrubs,
having in all a stock of over 10,000
plants, representing fifty varieties, all
of which are being offered at 10 cents
each. The plants are all two years old.

The Market.
The weather of late has been almost
too springlike and warm for the best
interests of either the plantsmen or the
cut flower growers. The plantsmen are
exceedingly busy and the stock in gen-
eral is just about right for Easter;
some of the stock is a little "pre-
vious," but not more than usual. The
wholesalers had their own troubles last
week, trying to dispose of the quan-
tities of bulbous flowers coming in,
and not with the best success. Other
stock is moving fairly well, except
violets, which have been somewhat of
a drug on the market. Easter orders
are about as usual so far this year,
though for some reason the retailers
hesitate more each year about placing
their orders early.
The retailers were favored with
considerable funeral work last week,
and in most cases they needed it, as
there was not much going on socially.
There has not been mudi special effort
for Easter business so lar, as the com-
bination baskets of plants have not
made their appearance, so that one
does not appreciate the nearness of
Easter. Palm Sunday does not affect
trade much, if at all. Some southern
daffodils have been coming in, but are
not of much value; just the same, they
help to keep down the price of home-
grown stock.
Various Notes.
E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was a
visitor in the city, drawing attention
to a few lines of his stock, including
his new red carnation. Commodore,
which shows up so well that he dis-
posed of a good number in this vicinity.
The thermometers registered 70 de-
grees above zero on Friday, March 14
— the warmest March 14 on record.
The annual Easter show at the
Phipps Conservatory, at Schenley park,
will undoubtedly be finer this year
than ever before. The earliness of
Easter and the peculiar weather con-
ditions caused Superintendent George
Burke to give up the idea of forcing
everything into flower at one time, and
as a result the show will last longer
than in other years. His arrangement
of the display will undoubtedly please
better than ever, as he has divided the
large house into gardens. One room
is a Dutch garden, which will contain
all kinds of Dutch bulbous flowers.
Another feature is a children's gar-
den, containing all kinds of old-fash-
ioned flowers. For the amusement of
the children, there will also be chick-
ens, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish and ca-
naries. A rose garden will contain over
2,000 plants, such as ramblers, Hia-
watha, Tausendschon and a general
collection of the hybrids. The collec-
tion of tropical plants and ferns is
conceded to be the finest in this coun-
try. The show this year is the result
of years of experience and reflects
great credit on Superintendent Burke
and his foreman, John Jones.
The Phipps Conservatory at North
Side park, also under the management
of Superintendent Burke and his fore-
man, James Moore, is ready for Easter.
This show, though not so immense as
the other, is the pride of the north
siders. Among the special features
are: A children's garden, somewhat
after the style of the Schenley park

KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
Business for the last week has shown
some improvement, largely due to an
increase in funeral work, of which
every florist had his share. There is
enough stock to fill all orders, but no
surplus. Eoses are in crop again and
are good, especially Killarneys and Eich-
monds. The Beauties, so far, are not
as good as expected, but are improving
each day. Carnations are also improv-
ing daily in quality and there will be
plenty of them for Easter. Bulbous
stock is more plentiful and seems to
be ahead of last year's stock; this is
probably due more to the open winter
than to anything else. Pot plants are
much in demand; the retailers are look-
ing in ev^ry direction for them and
orders are coming in unusually early.
Various Notes.
The W. L. Eock Flower Co. has an
enormous stock of pot plants for Easter
and they are exceptionally good. The
stock includes 3,000 lilies and a large
variety of other plants. This firm has
an exceptionally fine dark red seed-
ling carnation, believed to be ahead of
any other of its color, and will later
place it on exhibition in New York,
Arthur Newell had a good run on
funeral work last week and he reports

WHEN the younger generation enters into things, new ideas and new energy
usually crop up — then we say that "new blood has been injected into the
business," So it is in this case, for Sidney Buchbinder is one of the mem-
bers of the generation that is fast taking hold. He fairly lives with his business
and his every thought is of it. Sales are first, last, and all the time with him, so
it is hardly to be wondered that he writes "Salesmanager " after his name when
addressing the trade. Being a member of the firm of Buchbinder Bros,, Chicago,
is second consideration to being salesmanager with him.
arations for Easter and he expects to
sell a large quantity of pot plants at
his greenhouses. He has a fine lot of
Harrisii lilies.
The George M, Kellogg Flower &
Plant Co. is cutting a fine lot of flow-
ers. The firm's pot plants are extra
good, but the supply is only sufficient
for the store in this city. Mr. Parker
went to St. Joe last week.
E. S, Brown & Son report that their
shipping trade in spring stock was ex-
tremely heavy last week, Mr. Brown
has recovered sufficiently to be able to
be at the greenhouses and he is slowly
regaining his strength.
The Alpha Floral Co, had a heavy run
on green carnations on Saturday and
Monday. They received thirty-nine
cases of extra fine lilies last week.

to be one of the best west of the Twin

San Antonio, Tex. — The local florists
had the heaviest hail losses in their his-
tory a few weeks ago. At the nurseries
and greenhouses of George C. Baker,
Paul Poppe, San Antonio Floral Co. and
the Mission Floral Co. the losses were
heavy. In glass' alone the florists have
lost about $8,000. On top of that, many
plants were beaten to the ground and
destroyed. The hail was so heavy that
it broke tile roofs on residences.

How generally the trade is using the
parcel post is shown, perhaps, by the fre-
quency with which subscribers send The
Review samples of their stock. The man
whose carnations are in specially good
shape cuts a dozen, puts them in a paper
box, afiixes a few cents in parcel post
stamps and, as a consequence, the Ed-
itor 's desk seldom is without flowers.
OBITUARY.
George W. Love.
George W. Love, of Unionville, Pa.,
died March 6, at the age of 78 years.
His death was due to an attack of
bronchial pneumonia. He was born at
Kennett Square, Pa., in 1835, and was
in the carpenters' trade for some years
before engaging in business as a florist.
He is survived by his wife; also by a
daughter, Laura; a son, Charles, and a
grandson, Harold Love. George W.
Love was a member of Gen. Henry R.
Guss Post, No. 1, C. W. v., of West
Chester; Kennett Lodge, No. 475, F. &
A. M., and Eastern Star Lodge, I. O.
O. F., of which he was secretary for
forty-three years, having resigned lately.
The Odd Fellows had charge of the
funeral.
Philip Einsman.
Philip Einsman, treasurer of the New
York Cut Flower Exchange, who had
been in failing health for the last year
or more, died at his home in Astoria,
L. I., N. Y., March 13, at the age of
42 years. He was buried March 16.
Mr. Einsman was vice-president of the
New York Florists' Club for 1912 and
was a member of the Society of Amer-
ican Florists. He leaves a wife and
nine children.
One of the manufacturers of nicotine
extract for greenhouse fumigating has
announced that the increased cost of the
raw material and the increased cost of
manufacture have necessitated advancins;
his price to the point where the consumer
will pay $17.50 per gallon.
GETTING THEIR MONEY'S WORTH.
The aim of every successful editor is
to. see how great a value he can give
his readers. That The Review is suc-
ceeding in giving a rather better value
for the money than the trade ever has
had, there are visible signs; but the
letters that come into the office, with
subscription renewals, often mention
this point:
Don't stop the paper; It is too valuable to miss
for $1.— J. L. O'Quinn & Co., Raleigh, .N. C,
March 5, 1913.
We could not get along without The Review. —
Lanning's Seed House, Nowata, Okla., March 5,
1913.
Here Is your dollar; I can not get along any
longer without The Review; I honestly think It
is the best florists' magazine I ever have had the
pleasure of reading. — R. A. Culbertson, Meadville,
Pa., March 5, 1913.
The Review never likes to lose a sub-
scriber, yet the paper is stopped
promptly when the subscription has run
out. An expiration notice is sent, but
no subscriber is annoyed by the mail-
ing of bills after the time for which
the paper was ordered has elapsed, or
by offers to settle for half the arrear-
ages when the post-office regulations
compel the stopping of the paper, as
they now do, after a certain more than
liberal limit has been reached.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
With Easter approaching, business for
the last week has been steadily on the
increase. While demand has been no
more than normal, stock has cleaned
up more readily than heretofore, with
the exception of on* or two items, in-
cluding violets and the bulbous flow-
ers that have been overplentiful all
winter. The activities around the mar-
ket, however, were those that are to
be noticed when a big holiday rush is
near and the decks are being cleared for
action. Up to the time the first Easter
orders were to be shipped the one idea
was to have everything in shape for
the rush when the time rolled around
for the bulk of the stock to be moved
out. Most of the wholesalers reported
a fair number of advance orders on
their books; in fact, the general opin-
ion was that there were more orders
filed early this year than for some time,
owing to the belief that because of the
early Easter lilies would be hard to get
in the longer lengths; hence the out-of-
town buyer was more anxious to get his
order on the books than has been the
case in previous years. The habit of
waiting for the last minute to order
has been growing and it was a welcome
change for the wholesalers to have the
orders on file. Monday saw a big rush
of the out-of-town mail and each de-
livery brought in the demands from all
sections. St. Patrick's day orders had
just been disposed of and it made plenty
of work in sorting the orders and put-
ting them in shape for attention when
the stock is to be shipped.
The great shortage reported is in
American Beauties. Of these there are
nowhere near enough to supply the
demand. While good crops are not far

There is an abundance of Carnations in this market, but there are not

certam you are to order your Carnations of Amling.
FANCY SWEET PEAS
Long-stemmed Sweet Peas in very large quantity— can fill orders for

off, there are few coming in at present
and those that are being shipped are
not a credit to the market. Indeed,
the quality of most of the Beauties is
so poor that the out-of-town retailers
have largely cut them off their stand-
ing orders and have not ordered many
for Easter.
Other roses are in big supply, the
crops with many growers being at
about the highest point. Killameys are
especially strong and of fine quality in
both color, size of bud and foliage.
There is every indication that there
will be enough of these to go around.
Although prices had not been stiff up
to the opening of the week, there was
a tendency to advance as the week
grew older. Carnations likewise are in
good supply. For 8t, Patrick's day
there were large quantities cut, but
there were not enough whites to satisfy
the demand for flowers to color. Of
the pink and other colors there were
more than enough, for there was hardly
any demand outside of the white. Bulb-
ous stock was still moving slowly with
the start of the week, but began to
sell better as .Easter approached.
Violets have been and are in tremen-
dous supply. The grower who has not
a full crop is the exception to the rule
and the Chicago market seems to be do-
ing rather better than others, for there
never was a time when so many grow-
ers were shipping here. Sweet peas are
not so plentiful as they were and poorer
flowers are making better money. Or-
chids are not plentiful and prices are
advancing. Stocks are in, but do not
sell specially well. Callas are more
plentiful than at any time this season;
they are expected to sell well if lilies
prove short.
Smilax has become scarce and south-
ern floods are interfering with the ship-
ments of wild smilax.
A Difference of Opinion.
At the meeting of the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club March 6, it was voted to
lay on the table the matter of desig-
nating an oflicial route to the next
S. A. F. convention at Minneapolis.
But under date of March 10 postal
cards were mailed to members, stating
over the name of the chairman of the
transportation committee that the Great
Western had been selected by the club.
At the meeting March 6 the sentiment
appeared to be strongly opposed to
the Great Western and in favor of one
or the other of the standard lines, the
Northwestern or the St. Paul. The
Cook County Florists' Association has
already chosen the latter. "It was a
surprise to me," said President Guy
French, March 14, "that such a noti-
fication should be sent out before the
members of the club had voted on the
proposition. The club ordered the mat-
ter held open and until the next meet-
ing no choice will be made. It was not
my understanding that the committee
was vested with power to make a
choice, but was merely to make a rec-
ommendation. If it has been the cus-
tom in the past for the committee to
make the choice I believe that it would
be to the interest of the club to make
a change in this regard; in fact, the
action taken at the last meeting shows
how the members look upon the mat-
ter. Whatever road is selected at the
next meeting of the club will be the
ofScial route and invitations to eastern
and southern clubs and individuals will
be sent out asking them to join us."
Over the signature of Ed. C. Toepel
as secretary pro tem the following no-
tice was sent out March 17:
"Special Order of Business of The
Chicago Florists' Club. President
French announces that the special order
of business for the next meeting of the
Chicago Florists' Club will be: T)ie
election of a secretary to fill the va-
cancy caused by the resignation of
Wilder S. Deamud, who is leaving the
city permanently; to receive the re-
port of the transportation committee,
and to decide on the oflBcial route to the
S. A. F. convention at Minneapolis. A
full attendance is desired."

Various Notes.
W. N, Hudd, president of the Horti-
cultural Society of Chicago, and E. J.
Haight, secretary of that organization,
have their shoulders to the wheel in
preparation for the spring show that
opens at the Art Institute April 1.
President Budd announces that Mr.
Shehan, of the Evening Post, has been
appointed press agent. In the midst of
the Easter work the trade has given
little attention to the show, but it is
expected that interest will develop with
a rush as soon as the Easter business
is over. The society is figuring on a
peony show in June, a gladiolus show
in August and an aster show later.
Handsome posters announcing the
spring show were distributed last week.
The Art lastitute people are counting
on the show attracting the largest
crowds in the history of the institu-
tion.
Tim Matchen, who has charge of
Peter Eeinberg's sales, Emil Eeichling,
who is the greenhouse foreman, and a
number of other Reinberg employees
visited the Bassett & Washburn estab-
lishment, at Gregg's Station and Hins-
dale, March 16.
N. J. Wietor says that a big week's
business comes just in time, for Mon-
day morning's mail brought notice that
Wietor Bros, are assessed $4,100 as
their share of the cost of a sewer to be
laid in Devon avenue, on which the
greenhouses front.
A. L. Eandall is preparing to leave
shortly after Easter on a European trip.
He plans to visit all the principal cen-
ters for florists' supplies.
Al Fischer, the well-known bowler and
north side retailer, was arrested St.
Patrick's day for failure to show the li-
cense number on his delivery car. He
had thoughtlessly slung an extra tire
where it obscured the number. The
boys in the market think it an excel-
lent joke.
Winterson's Seed Store has a unique
window display. It is the Barney lawn
sprinkling system working away full
force, each nozzle being covered by an
inverted goldfish globe.
John Poehlmann spent the greater
part of St. Patrick's day going through
the greenhouses of his company at Mor-
ton Grove.
Frank Johnson, sales manager for the
A. L. Eandall Co., is receiving congrat-
ulations over the arrival of a daughter,
March 14, at his home in Eogers Park.
John T. Muir has opened his down-
town retail store, in the new building
at the southwest corner of Wabash
avenue and Monroe street. He occu-
pies a fine store on the Monroe street
side. The Williams' Flower Shop is in
the basement of the same building.
George M. Garland reached home
March 18 from his winter's trip to

Schiller has sent out announcements

in this column even if he has to sub-
sidize the reporter with a 25-cent cigar.
C. W. McKellar says that, far from
losing popularity, green carnations were
in greater demand this year than on
previous St. Patrick's days.
John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., says that violets will be the whole-
salers' Easter problem, the crops far
exceeding those of any other Easter.
Tim Matchen says Peter Eeinberg's
big motor truck has an even greater
advantage than the hour it saves each
trip from the greenhouses to the store
— the opportunity it gives for calling
in an extra load of stock whenever late
orders find the store ice-boxes empty.
The most remarkable carnation
blooms ever seen in Chicago attracted
a steady stream of trade visitors to the
store of C. W. McKellar March 14 and
15. There were eight flowers. The ex-
hibitor was H. Both, of Lafayette, Ind.
Each bloom measured a full five inches.
It is a big, full, fringed red seedling,
about the color of Beacon, the boldest
and most striking carnation thus far
seen here. Mr. Both said he has about
300 plants, and that it is so vigorous
a grower that he can propagate a large
quantity .any time he gets ready to sell
the stock. Most of the local growers
had a look at it the two days the vase
'stood on Mr. McKellar 'a counter. Mr.
Iloth stated that it is not a chance seed-
ling, but the result of breeding up from
a cross made twelve years ago, the
variety being now in its sixth genera-
tion. He says he has received several
offers for the stock, but has not yet de-
cided on his course. He is building this
year.
Paul M. Bryant, formerly with E. H.
Hunt and the Foley Mfg. Co., now is
associated with the Paine Co., in the
Corn Exchange building.
W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & Co.,
says the present indications are that
the wild smilax shippers will be hard
pressed to fill orders after Easter.
Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, was
walking around on crutches for a couple
of days last week as a result of in-
juries received from a fall. He was
storing boxes on top of the ice-box
when he missed his footing and fell.
Harry Manheim, of Hoerber Bros.,
said the advance orders on file for
Easter shipment were heavier than
usual this year. Long-stemmed lilies
were featured on most of them, it ap-
parently being the opinion of the out-
of-town customers that there would be
a shortage in these.
AlLie Zech and "William Lorman won
the special prize offered to the two
Cook County Florists' Association bowl-
ers making the highest scores in open

roses as was expected a few weeks ago.
The demand for pot-grown roses for
Easter has not been so heavy the last
two or three years as formerly in our
city; nevertheless, there will be a good
supply of Crimson Rambler and a few
other varieties. Spirsea, both pink and
white, is growing in popularity and
there will be a good supply of these.
A few hydrangeas will be ready for
Easter.
There is a heavy supply of carna-
tions of all colors, but there will be no
surplus, as American Beauty roses are
scarce and there are none too many
Killarneys. Our growers have timed
their lilies just right this year, and
everyone seems to have a good supply
of strictly high grade stock. Yiolets
are abundant, and the supply of out-
door stock that is handled by the drug

not caused the price to decline as yet.
The sweet pea supply is abundant, per-
haps the most abundant of any time
this season. Yalley is in fair supply.
Hyacinths are abundant and are selling
well. In more protected localities they
are blooming nicely outdoors. Daffodils
from the open are being sold as low as
5 cents a dozen on the street corners.
Good Emperors, properly grown, are still
selling in the flower shops at 50 to 60

gr^t interest in this rose. He is prop-
agating several thousand and intends
to introduce it to the trade next sea-
son. Mr. Joy means to grow one full
house for cut flowers the coming season
and says that he will exhibit it at all
the flower shows. We understand that
one grower is favorably enough im-
pressed with the rose to place an ad-
vance order for 12,000 plants.
Joe Browne, proprietor of the Lischey
Gardens, has been keeping several

The Gateway to the South.
The business the first day of this
week was just fair. There was a good
demand, but everyone seemed to be
resting on his oars, awaiting the stren-
uous times at the end of the week.
Locally, however, the week, even with-
out the holiday business, promises to
be a good one, for many flowers will
undoubtedly be used at the funerals of
some well known folks who died the
first part of the week. With the Easter
demand to top off, the market should
be kept cleaned up the entire week.
Boses continue of a good quality and
in quantity should prove adequate for
the Easter demand. American Beauties
and Richmonds, however, are none too
plentiful. For the last few days the
carnation market has tightened con-
siderably. It cannot be told as yet
whether the growers are holding for
Easter or the crop is going off. The
call for white for March 17 was good,
but the wholesalers tould not quite re-
alize the price they had figured to get.
E^er lilies will be in large supply,
but the chances are they will clean
up in a jiffy. All of the offerings so
far have beeta good. Many good cal-
las are coming in. Small bulbous stock,
such as tulips, hyacinths, jonquils and
daffodils, is in large supply. Practi-
cally all of the stock is good. Sweet
peas have been selling well. Now and
then a wholesaler loses some, but an
occurrence of this kind is the exciep-
tion rather than the l^le. Other of-
ferings, none "of which, bt the' time of
this writing, are sfelling any too well,
are valley, otchids, ex'cellent gardenias
and single and double Vidlets. Some
fine stocks are offered. ■

The Bising Eastern Market.
The cut flower market is quite active
when the immense quantity of plants
now absorbing the interest of the buy-
ers is considered. There is not a heavy
supply of flowers and the demand has
been sufficient to take most of them* at
fair prices. St. Patrick's day caused a
slight aclVan«e in white carnations,
which found 4heir way, dyed an Irish
green, into many a^.cpi/^t lapel. South-
ern daffodils continue to arrive without
making much impression; they are in
quite a separate class from the magnifi-
cent blooms of Emperor and Sir Watkin
that are produced under glass. The
weather has been erratic, often quite
unfavorable to production and lasting
qualities, many flowers arriving too
open.
Indications for Easter point to an
unusually good supply of violets. It is
thought that the Hudson river district
Marie Louise will stand first, then the
singles and the Hightstown doubles.
Sweet peas also promise well. There
will be more short and medium-stemmed
roses than fancy stock. Carnations are
not likely to increase in numbers. There
will be an excellent supply of cut Easter
lilies, a heavy cut of valley and a mod-
erate cut of callas. Cattleya Schroe-
derae is likely to be unequal to the de-
mand. No other cattleyas are in bloom
here. Beauties will be scarce. A funny
condition exists: the only Beauty
grower hereaboul^ who has a real crop
obtained it in two houses by aiming for
Christmas! Not a good shot, you will
say, yet he is one of our best growers
and he has certainly hit the mark
squarely.

The Floracroft Qreenhouses.
A model range, neat, light, airy, filled
with Easter stock in prime condition.
That is Floracroft. The hydrangea is
the principal Easter plant. These are
a gorgeous sight, the soft pink of
Otaksa harmonizing with the creamy
white and contrasting agreeably with
the deep lavender of the French va-
rieties. They are so even and so well
flowered that just to see them is a
pleasure. One block of French varieties
reserved for a certain buyer was es-
pecially beautiful. There are 20,000
tulips for Easter, three-fourths of them
Murillo, exquisitely pink, the remaining
fourth divided between the Prince of
Austria, the American-Beauty-colored
tulip; Couronne d'Or and Flamingo.
They are all well grown. The lilies
are multiflorum of good height. Ed-
ward Boss has reason to be proud about
the condition of the place. There are
good spiraeas, ferns and, last, perhaps
best of all, an immense quantity of lily
of the valley. Barney Malloy, who
brought the valley king's crown and
scepter to Walter P. Stokes, is in charge.
The flowering of the pips has been re-
duced to a fine art, with wonderful re-
sults.

The Market.
Everything is in readiness for Easter.
There is an abundance of plants for
the occasion and cut flowers are all
that can be desired. Roses are plen-t
tiful, 'with the exception of Wards,
American Beauties and Kichmonds. Kil-
larneys, Tafts and Hillingdons are extra
fine, ^weet peas are overabundant and
it is diflScult to dispose of all of them.
Carnations are the best they have been
this year and will bring^ a good 'price
for Easter. Violets are only fair; there
will be an ample supply for the Easter
trade and the price will remain mod-
erate. Valley is fine. Cut white lilacsj
cut deut^ias, mignonette, marguerites^
forget-me-nots and Narcissus poeticua
are prime favorites now. Daffodils, bi-
colors, Thomas Watkins and Golden
Sbur, are plentiful and excellent in
quality. In floweting plants, azaleas,
lilacs, rose bushes, Easter lilies, 8pir«bas„
rhododendrons and fancy plant baskets
are to be had in great numbers and the
demand for them is strong. Hardy
ferns and asparagus are somewhat
scarce.
There was quite a detnand for St.
Patrick's day novelties, green carna-
tions, shamrock arrangements, etc.
Various Notes.

The Market.
An indication of the Easter activities
was given last week in the increased
call for potted plants in bud, and in the
inquiries concerning the prices for cut
flowers for Easter week. Business on
the whole showed a big improvement
during the week, with the usual amount
of funeral work. The advent of St.
Patrick's day so close to Easter had its
effect upon the situation, as large quan-
tities of white carnations and roses
were used for "greening." Shamrocks
were much in . evidence and sold well.

The Narragansett Improvement Asso-

Willis 8. Pino has just registered
a thirty-two horse-power Cadillac tour-
ing car with the State Board of Pub-
lic Roads.
One of the most attractive window
displays seen in the city for a long
time was that made by Johnston Bros.,
on Torrance street, last week. A hand-
some bougainvillea, with a spread of
fully five feet, in full bloom, formed
the central feature.
Prof. A. E. Stone, state entomolo-
gist, has sounded the alarm against the
gypsy and brown-tail moths, which, he
points out, have spread with great ra-
pidity within the last two years, di-
rectly due, it is claimed, to the failure
of the General Assembly to make any
appropriation for the work of suppres-
sion two years ago.
Edgar L. Nock, near Roger Williams

his greenhouses and is going exten-
sively into the growing of orchids.

ST. LOUIS:
The Southwestern Market. -~
The market showed a lot of activity
last week, some days beiog' rushing.
The supply of stock was lao'ge and
all orders were filled in full.' The
cold wave, with snow, which came
along March. 15, hurt the transient
trade considerably. The prospects are
excellent for this week, should the
weather be fine.
During the last week I found the
market had plenty of. extra fii;ie qual-
ity roses in all varieties, the great bulk
of them being the Killarneys. Amer-
ican Beauties of fancy quality were
scarce. Carnations were abundant in
all varieties. Whites had a big call
to be used for greening f pr ^t. Patricjc 's
day. Sweet peas and violets contin-
ued in oversupply and cheap .prices
prevailed on these. Lilies, valley, tu-
lips and Von Sions are among the best
sellers in bulbous stock. There ^ill bq
plenty of Easter liliesAi^d ca^g," this,
weipk. Asparagu^, bpth plumosps afl^l,
Sprengeti, had a big call, also leucothoe
sprays and wild smila±.

The Southwestern Market.
The market showed a lot of activity
last week, some days bein^r^ rushing.
The supply of stock was la^ge and
all orders were filled in full.- The
cold wave, with snow, which came
along March 15, hurt the transient
trade considerably. The prospects are
excellent for this week, should the
weather be fine.
During the last week I found the
market had plenty of. .extra fiijie qual-
ity roses in all varieties, the great bulk
of them being the Kijlarneys. Amer-
ican Beauties of fancy quality were
scarce. Carnations were abundant in
all varieties. Whites haj a big call
to be used for greening f pr St. Patricjc 's
day. Sweiet peas and violets contin-
ued in oversupply and cheap .prices
prevailed on these. Lilies, valley, tu-
lips and Von Sions are among the best
sellers in bulbous stock. There -^iU bq
plenty of Easter liliesfAlfd eajj^srthis,
wejpk. Asparagnl, both plumpsps a??^,
Sprengefi, had a big call', also leucothoe
sprays and wild smilai.

class of younger folks, which he ex-
pects to greatly increase.
The new plant range that is being
erected by the Fierson U-Bar Co., of
New York, at the Missouri Botanical
Garden, is nearly completed. It will
be turned over to the directors early
next month. The garden will exhibit
several novelties never before dis-
played, at the National Flower Show,
and has offered $500 to be awarded for
the most meritorious plant, either flow-
ering, foliage or economic, which is ab-
solutely new to commerce. J. J. B.

The Florists' Review
MiBCH 20, 1913.
Seed Trade News.
AXEBIOAN SEED TRADE ASSOOIATIOK.
President, Charles N. Page, Dea Molnea, la.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.
Thirty-first annual convention at Cleveland, June
24 to 26. 1918.
Field peas are reported short, some-
thing not usual.
Visited Chicago: Ralph M. Ward, of
Ward & Oo., New York.
: Seasonable weather from now on will
cheer the hearts of the counter trade
people.
Some short varieties of beans,, that
were to come out in decent force, have
failed to arrive.
Jobbers of the navy bean report a
depressed market, but their guess is that
it will not last long.
Good rains in southern California have
brightened the seed crop prospects there,
especially on sweet peas.
We hear no complaint from Rockford
as to lack of orders. R. H. Shumway
reports that his people are about snowed
under with them.
There is no longer a chance for cheap
onion sets until this year's crop comes in.
The market at all points is up and this
spring's prices are likely to be as high
as last year.
The Northern Seed Co., which was or-
ganized last fall at Cass Lake, Minn., is
greatly pleased with the volume of trade
already secured and is planning to go
into the business on a much larger scale.
Many of the onion growers of the
central west are intending to plant a
good proportion of bulbs for seed this
season. Last season's good prices for
market onions cut the seed acreage down
considerably; as a consequence, seed of
the Globe varieties, especially of the Red
Globe, is in shorter supply than usual
this spring.
The waste in the 1912 onion set crop
has completely reversed the early indica-
tions. Instead of there being a surplus,
with low prices, the loss has been such
that there is no oversupply and strictly
first-class sets are held at steadily stiffen-
ing prices. Cars that do not grade up to
the requirements of the best trade may
still be had, however, at prices that look
cheap until the stock is inspected.
Alexander Forbes, for twenty-six
years vice-president and general manager
of Peter Henderson & Co., having pur-
chased the controlling interest in the firm
of J. F. Noll & Co., Newark, N. J., has
opened a stand in the Cortlandt street
terminal, New York, and will make a
special feature of the filling of orders for
commuters. Orders left in the morning
will be ready for the suburbanites to
pick up on their way home at night.
It is beginning to be questioned if the
trade is not in wrong on the parcel post.
When the law was forming it was the
general opinion that the zone system
would prove cumbersome and that the
trade would be better off under the old
arrangement. The Regulations for pack-
age mail do not, however, give the seeds-
men the advantages they expected to re-
tain and, in the middle west at least, the
idea is gaining ground that seeds and
plants should come under the parcel post.

Everyone seems to be satisfied with
the business of the year so far.
Is the California climate changing,
especially with respect to rainfall, or is it
merely the common experience that sea-
sons run in cycles, several dry being
followed by several wet, and vice versat
At any rate, the San Juan and Santa
Clara valleys again are considerably be-
hind in necessary precipitation this sea-
son.
While the peas grown for seed last
season in Montana and Idaho did not
turn out in every respect as well as had
been hoped, unusual weather conditions
are held largely responsible and the acre-
age will be materially increased for the
1913 cropv^ Practically all the large grow-
ers have been active in the new territory

THOSE FREE SEEDS.
The government asks for the lowest biff,
And the seedsman quotes the price.
Now, who shall be first to sit on the lid.
Is the question that cuts the lee.
The spring poet puts it right, for the
seedsman is not blameless so long as he
continues to quote prices when he
knows that the bid he is pricing is for
the purpose of the free seed distribu-
tion. It is quite proper to insist that
the government has no right to dis-
tribute ordinary seeds free of charge,
but as has been heretofore stated in
this column, the seedsmen are putting
themselves at a disadvantage by quot-
ing, and being seemingly anxious to get
the government order. It is not over-
looked when a seedsman is urging every-
body to "write your congressmen to
oppose free seeds," and his name ap-
pears at the same time in the list of
those who are bidding for the order.
FOBBES' NEW VENTUEE.
The following is from a Newark, N.
J., paper of March 8: "With changes
just made in the firm of J. F. Noll &
Co., Inc., local seedsmen, at 115 Mul-
berry street, the management of the
business has been taken up by Alexan-
der Forbes, for twenty-six years con-
nected with the firm of Peter Hender-
son & Co. He was vice-president and
general manager of that concern. Mr.
Forbes has been the most active spirit
in the effort to put an end to the prac-
tice of free distribution of seed by the
federal government at Washington."
EXPERIENCES WITH NOVELTIES.
Every year I try out the current nov-
elties, and I shall here report some of
my disappointments, for other growers
may be as greatly interested in a list of
the varieties that failed as in a list of
the successes. Of course, it is not con-
sidered that my trials serve as an ulti-
matum or final decision, for soils and
seasons differ. However, prospective
cultivators may be so warned by others '
experiences as to proceed more cau-
tiously with reference to certain red-
letter novelties than they otherwise
might.
First, the Davis cucumber was dis-
appointing to me. On sandy, clay loam
soil, although it produced good vines,
the fruit was slow to set and it was
not till late in August that marketable
quantities were picked. I ransacked
the seed catalogues, and while nearly
everyone recommended Davis' Perfect
for outdoor planting, still I found at
least one catalogue that did not advise
its use for such planting, but only for
forcing. I think Vickery's suits my
ideas of a forcer better than Davis'
Perfect.
Three sweet corns tested out poor in
flavor. It is possible that many people
would like them, but not our household.

Breadstone Swede turnip showed up

Among radishes, Crimson Giant Tur-

claim, is uneven in contour and off in

vorites in Detroit markets.
As a planter loses a whole season gen-
erally by making a mistake in the
choice of varieties for his planting, he
may be thankful that a knocker now
and then warns him of varieties that
may "act up."
Since the element of time is so pro-
nounced in his affairs, it behooves every
trucker to set aside a plot for the test-
ing out of promising varieties under
the local conditions on his own soils.

Boddlngton's Quality Cannasg
Are true to name, have two to three good eyes, are well cured, sound and dormant, and give absolute satis-
faction. Our sales last year were nearly 700,000, and not an overgrown kick. The Canna crop this year,
however, is very short, and we advise placing orders early to secure stock. Delivery can be made at pur-
chaser's option. Bemember, you may deduct 5% if cash accompanies the order.
Stocks of Cannas are gotting very low everywhere. Wo
advise ordering Immediateiyy to avoid disappointment.

issue raised and the court directed the
jury to find a verdict that Mr. Palmer
was entitled to the peremptory writ of
mandamus. The matter then came be-
fore Justice Pound on an application
for the appraisement. In his decision
he says:
"The commissioner had no facts be-
fore him upon which he could decide
that every plant was infested with
gipsy moth. He could, on the facts,
only decide that there was reasonable
ground to believe that they were so
infested. Destruction without com-
pensation is the rule where the facts
may be shown with certainty. In
other cases an appraisal should be had.
So ordered."
Some time prior to October 16, 1911,
Mr. Palmer had received a shipment
of azaleas and rhododendrons from
Belgium and they were at his green-
houses in Lancaster. October 16 two
inspectors from the state department
of agriculture visited the greenhouses
and found an egg-mass of the gipsy
moth on one plant and evidence that
another plant had been similarly in-
fested. They telegraphed to the de-
partment asking for instructions and
some days later got telegraphic in-
structions to destroy the whole ship-

LILIUM FORMOSUM.
Many lily growers do not
favor this variety, ow^ing to
the trial they probably gave
it w^hen it was comparatively
new and unselected.
But right here let us say
that it is impossible to get
better lilies from any kind of
lily bulbs, for winter flower-
ing, than you can get from
the right stock of Formo-
sum.
There is more diflFerence
in Formosum than most
people realize. The process
of assortment is now going
on, in fields where attention
is given to quality.
Horseshoe Brand Formo-
sum, size 9/10, which have
bloomed this winter, have
given from eight to eighteen
flowers. That is, the selected
stock. Next fall's delivery is
expected to be as good, if
not better.
Any florist who cannot
make money on Horseshoe
Brand Formosum 9/10, had
better put on a kilt and take
in washing for a living.
The price of a single case
of this selected stock is $20,
and it is the best investment
in lily bulbs today that any
man can make. Order now
— don't wait until it's too
late.

The Market.
The bulbous stock is about at its
height now, immense numbers of .daffo-
dils, hyacinths and other kinds being
sent in. The whole of the stock is
good and, if fresh when shipped, will
carry well to all points. A number of
letters shown to the writer during the
present week indicate that both the
service and the quality of the flowers
shipped from Los Angeles are excel-
lent. Violets are plentiful and sell
^irly well. Good roses from indoors
sell well at fair prices and are in good
supply. Large rhododendrons, cycla-
mens, primulas and ferns are the best
plants to be had now, with a few good
Japanese azaleas. Easter lilies are
scarce. Greens are plentiful.
Various Notes.
Luis F. Carrillo, of Mamaroneck, N.
Y., paid a flying visit to the city
March 8 to 10 and left again on the
Southern Pacific for New York, via
New Orleans, on the evening train at
the latter date. Mr. Carrillo expressed
himself as delighted with the country
hereabouts. He leaves for an orchid
collecting trip to South America,
March 19.
A new propagating house, 18x60
feet, has been built at the Palmyra
Nursery by the Lanss brothers, in ad-
dition to the new lath house and of-
fice.
G. Eossi & Co., of San Francisco,
are about to open a wholesale house
here. Several locations have been con-
sidered, but at the time of writing
none had been decided on.
W. W. Felgate, gardener for Dr.
Barlow, Sierra Madre, grows some of
the finest antirrhinums in this vicinity.
He was in town with some grand
varieties March 10, the yellow forms
being especially good.
Howard & Smith opened their new
store, at Ninth and Olive streets,
March 8, with a fine display. The im-
mense floor space was almost entirely
covered with fine palms, azaleas, beau-
tiful forced wistaria plants and a num-
ber of the fine amaryllis for which the
firm is famous. A fine location and
perhaps the finest store building in
the country, with the resources of this
well known house behind it, seem to
forecast great success.
C. Morton, of the Los Angeles
Flower Market, has received his new
automobile, a fine Buick.
W. Armacost & Co. sent in a first
consignment of Easter lilies to the Los
Angeles Flower Market March 10. It
was fine stock, well flowered and fin-
ished.
The Star Nursery, of Montebello, is
sending in large, well flowered plants
of Japanese azaleas, daphnes and Wis-
taria Sinensis.
Rhododendrons formed the principal
window decoration at the store of the
Hayward Floral Co. last week, arranged
with baby roses and Moutan peonies.
H. Reeve Darling has purchased a No.
36 Chalmers-Detroit.
The H. N. Gage Co. is always to the
front with anything likely to be of
interest to the retailer, and a fine show-
ing of orchids of other kinds than the
ubiquitous cattleya has been made
here during the last two weeks. I
noted good Lycaste Skinneri and
Dendrobium nobile, both fine and well
colored.
Polder & Groen are shipping fine
pansies and myosotis to this market.
Fred R. Hills has bought a new Eeo
car and is already quite an expert in
handling it.
The new rooming house for the help
is now completed at the Dieterich &
Turner place at Montebello. This will
add considerably to the comfort and
convenience of the men.
M. L. Germain has made another trip
north on business connected with seed

THE NOVELTY
OF THE SEASON
"RAMONA
99 THE NEW RED
CHEROKEE ROSE
This sensational and magnificent new cllmblngr rose occurred as a sport from the well-
known Pink Cherokee (Rosa Slnlca, var. Anemone). It Is a stronger and more rampant
grower than Its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months flowers
In such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop of
bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pink or white forms, with brilliant
golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crimson color; an unusual
shade, wonderfully striking and effective; the foliage is absolutely mildew-proof, a rich,
glossy green, so bright that it appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in
our advertisement in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural
size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words.
The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dieterich & Turner, at Monte-
bello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred
thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our faith
in its value, and its coming popularity is attested by the fact that we have already booked
orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that
"RAMONA" will have the largest first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the
American trade.
"RAMONA"
will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf
and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting
on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in addition,
it makes an elegant hedge plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the
stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color.
We are offering plants of "RAMONA" at the following prices, cash with order:
In lots less than one hundred: From 2-incb pots, 35 CMits each, $3.50 per dozen; from
3-lnch pots, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen ; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen.
In lots of one hundred to five hundred: From 2-ineh pots, $20.00 per one hundred; from
3-inch pots, $30.00; from 5-inch pots, $60.00.
In lota of Ave hundred to one thousand: From 2-inch pots, $125.00 per thousand; from
3-inch pots, $150.00 per thousand.
Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored
plate shown In The Review of February 20th, at the rate of $3.60 per hundred, $30.00 per
thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

have been numerous. The weather has
changed somewhat from that of last
month, and while not as much stock
has been brought to town, the general
quality of it has been better. Carna-
tions are a shade higher in price; so,
also, is most of our bulbous stock.
All the early varieties of narcissi and
daffodils are over, but we still have the
later sorts. Freesias are scarcer than
they have been. There are plenty of
Dutch hyacinths and valley, which
move fairly well. Tulips are still
plentiful and sell at low prices.
For the Easter plant tjrade there will,
apparently, be an abundance. Azaleas,
although not as plentiful as last year,
are in good shape. Cyclamens, be-
gonias, hyacinths, genistas, wistarias,
lilies, lilacs and various ferns and
palms are seen everywhere. Easter
lilies, though not abundant, will be in
suflScient quantity to supply everyone.
They cost the retailers from $2.50 to
$4 per dozen for the cut stems and
about twice that price for the pot-
grown.
Various Notes.
E. H. Bust, the nurseryman of Pasa-

The two brothers of the late Adolph

NsK,ture of Doubling in Carnations.
[Oontlnned from pave 12.]
Wtiile it lias not as yet been possible
to m ake an especially careful study of
the maature of doubling in the carna-
tion, sufficient information has been de-
riveci- from an examination of several
hund-Ted flowers to enable us to say
that many factors contribute toward
doubling. The simpler and more com-
mon ones are those of the multiplica-
tion _ of petals, by proliferation, the con-
versi on of stamens into petals, and the
development of supernumerary buds in-
side "the flower but outside the ovary.
Tli.« presence of supernumerary or
adveontitious buds seems to imply a
tendency of the flowers in which they
occuar to advert to the bullhead type
of flcDwer. It is certain that their pres-
ence in the flower is accountable for
man>^ a bursted calyx, and in such in-
stancies it may be necessary for us to

revise our current notions that a
bursted calyx is due to an inherent
tendency in the plant to produce weak
calyxes, or that it is the result of un-
favorable temperatures or conditions of
growth. True, it m|iy be that the
presence of supernumerary buds may
indicate an inherent weakness in the
plant, but have we a right to say that
this weakness is solely one of an im-
perfect calyx? In the light of our
present knowledge, it would appear
that we must look for some other ex-
planation. It is evident that whatever
determines the presence of these extra
buds must be due to some inherent
factor in the organic hereditary consti-
tution of the plant. In all probability
these changes occur in the earliest
stages of the development of the bud.
Until careful cytological studies have
been made of this phenomenon, our
conception regarding the determining
causes of the presence of adventitious
buds must be a purely speculative one.

Recent observations on the behavior
of supposedly commercial and double

season. Seedlings which apparently
.produce good, typical commercial flow-
ers during the early part of the season,
or until the middle of January, began
to develop many blooms which to all
appearance were of the bullhead type.
Our attention has also been called to an
apparently opposite case, in which a
seedling plant, producing bullheads in
the early part of the season, began to
develop flowers bordering on the com-
mercial type.
Our present knowledge would lead us
to believe that there is a considerable
degree of seasonal fluctuating variabil-
ity in some of the seedling plants. This
variability has also been noticed in the
Enchantress and Mrs. Ward, and no
doubt is more or less common in other
fuU-petaled varieties.
Advantages of Single-Double Cross.
Thus far in our discussion we have
simply aimed to present a report of
the results which have actually been
secured from the various crosses men-
tioned. Our present effort will be to
show that the single -double cross may
offer some advantages to the plant
breeder which are not found in the
commercial-commercial crosses. In the
first place, it has been shown that the
resulting seedlings of the commercial
crossed with the commercial yield ap-
proximately twenty-flve per cent sin-
gles, fifty per cent commercials and
twenty -five per cent doubles. In other
words, the possibility ^of securing a
really desirable seedling is limited to
fifty per cent of the progeny. In the
single-double cross the breeder has 100
per cent from which to make his selec-
tion. The advantage, therefore, of the
two crosses is as fifty to 100 in favor
of the single-double combination. In
addition to this, we might mention, it
frequently happens that quite desirable
colors occur in the singles, particularly
in scarlets and crimsons. The singles
are also, as a rule, free blooming, and
many of them produce flowers with
long, stiff stems. They are also, as a
rule, more vigorous than the commer-
cial types. Similar desirable charac-
ters are often found embodied in the
bullheads, and with intelligent selec-
tion of the parent plants it should be
possible to secure a reasonably large
percentage of promising seedlings.
There is another factor which we
have not as yet mentioned, but which
seems to be clearly emphasized by our
investigations, and that is with respect
to the average number of seedling
plants produced per cross. Our data
show that the single-single combination
produced 16.1 per cent plants per cross;
the single-double, 22.8; the commercial-
single, 6.8, and the commercial-commer-
cial, 11.3. While it is recognized that
a repetition of similar crosses might
not corroborate these figures in whole,
it is believed that the general results
are indicative of greater vigor in the
progeny of the single-double combina-
tion. Certainly, when these data are
considered in connection with the fact
that the single-double cross gives, theo-
retically at least, 100 instead of fifty
plants from which to select, one is im-
pressed with the greater desirability of
employing such a cross when attempt-
ing to produce or create new varieties.
We are well aware that such sugges-
tions are directly at variance with pres-
ent recognized practice, but neverthe-
less it is believed that the plant breeder
can well afford to give it some con-
sideration.

GLEN COVE, N. Y.
The monthly meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held
March 12. President Brown occupied the
chair. Mrs. A. Fletcher was elected an
honorary member and S. Brackett, of
Locust Valley, an active member. The
exhibits of plants and cut flowers were
specially good. James Duthie, of Oys-
ter Bay, exhibited three varieties of
Freesia Tubergini. The colors in this
freesia are pleasing and they are sure
to become favorites for conservatory
and house decorations. The varieties
were Dainty, La Phare and Sweet Lav-
ender. The society's prizes for the
exhibits of the evening were awarded
to A. MacKenzie, P. Charbonneael and
J. MacDonald. A certificate of culture
was awarded to J. W. Everatt, for a
basket of fine mushrooms; honorable
mention to J. Ingram for narcissi, and
to J. Duthie for carnations. A. Wil-
son, representing the plant oil firm
of that name, was present and offered
a substantial cash prize to be put up
put up at the next fall show. It was de-
cided to hold the next meeting April
16 at 7 p. m., and prizes are offered for
twelve roses, mixed, twelve Darwin tu-
lips and one calceolaria. J. M.
' ' I HAVE 150 varieties of peonies, ' ' says
W. E. Fryer, of Mantorville, Minn.,
' * but 100 of them never should have been
named — and you can guess how it is with
anyone who advertises 1,200 varieties."

H. H, LiNviLLE, of Highland, Cal., is
clearing two acres additional leased
land for from 60,000 to 70,000 citrus
trees.
L. C. EiCE & Son, nurserymen of
Tropico, Cal., recently purchased eighty
acres of ground and are preparing it for
use. They expect to plant 500,000 olive
trees.
The publicity idea has reached the
nursery trade: some of the growers of
fruit trees want to see a united effort by
all the parties at interest to increase the
consumption of fruit.
C. D. Oldershaw, of Bakersfield, Cal.,
has secured the contract for the supplying
of $600 worth of nursery stock to be
planted in the parkways constructed on
Truxtun avenue, in that city.
W. J. Palmer, florist at Lancaster,
N. Y., is successfully prosecuting a claim
against the State of New York because
an inspector destroyed 2,260 azaleas when
he found an egg mass of the gipsy moth
in one plant.
Geo. H. Whiting, the nurseryman of
Yankton, S. D., recently purchased the
stock of the Volin Nursery Co., owned
by T. J. Douthit, and took a force of men
to Volin with the intention of getting
the stock ready for removal and closing
out the nursery.
GEAPTINO QUINCES.
Will you kindly tell us how to graft
the quince? We have good success with
apples and pears, but failed with
quinces last year, M. S.
Portions of apple roots are best to
use when grafting quinces, splicing
them closely to the scion. These roots
materially aid the scion in becoming es-
tablished. Some growers remove them
after two or three years, when the trees
are of suflScient size to be set out in the
orchard. Quince stock can be used when
budding is done. C. W.
THE STANDING OF MEMBERS.
In all the trade organizations except
the American Seed Trade Association
the only requirement for membership
is the payment of the fee — hand the
money to the secretary and be at once
admitted to the full privileges. In
none except the seedsmen 's organization
has there been any investigation of the
applicant's standing or a vote on his
admission, except, perhaps, some of the
trade's credit and collection associa-
tions. The New England Nurserymen's
Association purposes to add to the value
of membership by passing on the qual-
ifications of those who would enter. At
the recent first annual convention at
Worcester the following was adopted
after much discussion and reconsidera-
tion :
"The members of this association
shall be persons residing in, and en-
gaged in the growing or selling of
nursery stock in New England, and shall
be approved by the . executive com-
mittee."
A membership committee was ap-
pointed, one for each state, to present
names for the consideration of the ex-
ecutive committee, as follows: Chair-
man, Geo. C. Thurlow; Connecticut, C.
E. Burr, Manchester; Maine, Herbert
Jackson, Portland; New Hampshire, A.
P. Home, Manchester; Vermont, F. H.
Horsford, Charlotte; Ehode Island, D.
A. Clarke, Fiskeville; Massachusetts,

THE STABK FAMILY TBOUBLES.
The announcement that W. P. Stark
had asked for a receiver for the Stark
Bros. Nurseries and Orchards Co., as a
reporter put it, came * ' like a thunder-
bolt from a clear sky, ' ' to the people of
Louisiana, Mo. In regard to the suit,
E. W. Stark, president of the company,
says:
"It is not true that exorbitant sal-
aries are being paid. As a matter of
fact, the three leading officials of the
company are being paid just one-half of
the salaries drawn by W. P. Stark, ex-
treasurer, his son and son-in-law in past
years.
"In 1911 W. P. Stark made demands
for salaries that the company refused to
pay, and his resignation was filed vol-
untarily. After two months' absence
he returned and resumed his old rela-
tions at the invitation of the directors.
The day he returned and was reelected
treasurer he drew $1,000 back salary for
the two months he was absent, leaving

the same day for the east on the com-
pany's time and expense to negotiate
for a valuable new peach. Instead of
so doing he entered into an agreement
to get control of the peach for his own
benefit instead of for the company.
"While W. P. Stark was still an offi-
cer of this company his son, with whom
he is associated, started a rival com-
pany and W. P. Stark was then and still
is indebted to this company. These and
various other reasons compelled the ma-
jority of the stockholders to dispense
with his services. Our company is en-
joying exceptionally fine trade and is in
a prosperous and harmonious condition;
harmony having been non-existent for
some time past while W. P. Stark was
an officer of the company.
"This simply is a case of a dis-
gruntled stockholder with a fancied
grievance, the apparent object being to
hurt this company. He doubtless thinks
his new company will be the gainer by
this suit by obtaining the valuable busi-
ness this company has built up over the
world. He is now, and has been, for
many years, a director in this company
and has taken an active part in the con-
duct of its affairs and is largely respon-
sible for its actions and policies. All
of the old employees of the company
many of whom have been with it from
its inception, are still connected with it,
and everything is running harmoniously
and smoothly at the present time.
"The business of the company and
its financial condition under the present
management is away ahead of what it
was a year and two years ago, while
W. P. Stark was connected with the
company.
"J. W. Matson, the attorney for the
company, says that there is absolutely
no merit in this suit and that the arti-
cles published in some of the Saturday
morning St. Louis papers were certainly
inspired by some one whose sole de-
sire is to do the company as much in-
jury as possible, and not to right even
a fancied wrong. The people here fully
understand the motives of this suit. ' '
IDAHO TEEE OEOWEES PROTEST.
Nurserymen of Idaho, under the im-
pression that the State University is
entering into competition with them on
an unfair basis, have made an appeal
to the school to retire from the shade
tree business, or take out a license as
the regular nurseries do. Announce-
ment that the forestry department in-
tended to distribute shade trees at a
nominal price in different sections of
the state provoked the protest from the
nurserymen. It was written by Charles
T. Hawkes, of Caldwell, president of the
State Nurserymen's Association, and
was addressed to Dr. Shattuck. The
letter, which follows, explains the na-
ture of the complaint:
Dear Sir: It has come to the notice of aeveral
nnraerymen of the state that the unlverBlty,
throogh Its forestry department, Is engaging

partment for favors in the past and we choose
to believe that you do not realize that you are
competing with us in your new role. The busi-
ness you are tfolng Is probably quite small and
does not "hurt us" very much, but on account
of the principle of the thing, we feel Inclined to
ask you to desist from selling anything in the
nursery line, since the business might be in-
definitely expanded, both In yours and other
departments of the state university, and since
we fellows are under considerable expense for
bonds and license fees that you do not have to
meet.
Will yon not kindly tell us If It will not be
possible for you to meet our wishes In this mat-
ter, or else take out a regular license and fur-
nish bond as the rest of us are compelled to do?
We have no objection to your distributing a
few samples of the new varieties of shade trees
you have tested and found useful in this
region, but we think it should be without charge
to the planter, since the state university Is a
public institution, supported by general taxation,
and we are not willing to consider black walnut
and black locust new, or unknown to the public
at the present time.
Thanking you for your prompt consideration
of this matter, we are,
Yours very truly,
CHARLES T. HAWKES,
President State Nurserymen's Association.

department of the university, explains

The Market.
With Easter at our doors, both whole-
salers and retailers are ready, having
made extensive preparations. The show
windows of the stores never looked so
gorgeous and attractive as this year.
Though we recently had heavy rains
and a small cyclone and the temperature
at present is near the freezing point,
the prospect is that dry and sunny
weather will prevail during Easter. The
bulk of the shopping is done on Good
Friday and Saturday, and both growers
and retailers hope to do the same fine
business as last year. With the excep-
tion of Easter lilies, all kinds of sea-
sonable flowering plants are plentiful
and in perfect condition. Ferns and
foliage plants are fine, but the demand
for these is limited. Growers who sell
at the public markets have been handi-
capped considerably on account of the
inclement weather, and even some of
the most optimistic have lately been
complaining.
It is reported by local seedsmen that,
on account of the mild winter in the
north, the shipping trade in early vege-
tables from local truck farms has not
been so extensive as in past years,
and the prices obtained for the finest
head lettuce have scarcely paid for the
packing.
Various Notes.
The Stockier Seed Co. reports a big
rush in every department of its trade.
Bruce Bros, have added a seed and
plant department to their large poul-
try business and they express them-
selves as highly satisfied with their
new venture. E- E.

Club Meeting. , _
At the March meeting of tlie Roches-
ter Florists' Association it wai' iSfecided-
to hold a flower show the' we*k of
November 2 in Convention hall. The
show probably will be openfed on Mon-
day and continue through the week.
Arrangements for the display will be
started at the April meeting of the
association.
A bill in the Legislature that pro-
vides for an appropriation of $60,000
for greenhouses for experimental work
in floriculture and vegetable farming,
which was introduced by Senator Bams^
perger and Assemblyman Jackson, came
in for considerable discussion at the
meeting. Before adjournment the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
Whereas, The growth of floriculture and the'
production of flowers and vegetables under glass
has been the most notable in horticulture in this
state In recent years and the large capital and
numbtc of people now employed demand that the
increasing number of problems which threaten
the industry, and with which the individual
grower caonot cope because of lack of scientlflc
knowledge, be given consideration by the agricul-
tural experiment station, and,
Whereas, No provision has hitherto been made
to equip the agricultural college and experiment
station to carry on selentiflc investigations r^Iaf
ing to gteenbouse crops, be it
Resolved, That the Rochester Florlstfc' Asso-
ciation, at its monthly meeting, heartily indorsed
the efforts of the New York State Federatloo of
Florists' Clubs to secure the passage of a bill by
the legislature making suitable appropriations for
providing equipment for the teaching of floricul-
ture and vegetable gaMening.
A paper was read by A. H. Seeker,
"Growing Sweet Peas," and C. B.
Ogston, superintendent of the conserva-
tory of Mrs. William S. Kimball, who is
an authority on cut flowers, gave a
talk on carnations, illustrating his re-
marks: with specimen blooms.
It was announced" that two members
of the association, J, N. Keller and C.
B. Ogston, had been appointed judges
at the National Flower Show, to be
held in New York, starting April 5.

The Florists' Review
Mabch 20, 1913.
€[WE*RE AHEAD considerably when it comes to a comparison of SNAPDRAGONS^
Unlike the several strains advertised as the well known
New England Silver-pink Snapdragon, we have named ours
BUXTON'S KILLARNEY - PINK SNAPDRAQO
as this favorite rose is its nearest comparison as to color.
Every grower who has tested this strain pronounces it the best yet. Will you be among the number to buy a stock
of this sterling Snapdragon that knows no enemiea but makes frienda wherever it finds a home? 10,000 strong plants,
ready April 1. Price, $6.00 per 100 ; $46.00 per 1000. Cash with order, please.

The members of the Morris County
Gardeners' and Florists' Club had a
most enjoyable time at the annual car-
nation night, March 12.
Cottage Gardens, of Queens, N. Y.,
had Matchless in fine shape, securing a
certificate of merit.
Dailledouze Bros., of Flatbush, N. Y.,
secured a certificate for a fine vase of
Enchantress Supreme.
James D. Cockcroft, of Northport,
L. I., had fine Northport, which had
been previously certificated.
Wm. Eleinheinz, ' of Ogontz, Pa.,
showed Dimple "Widener. It is a fine
carnation, well grown, and was awarded
a certificate of merit.
Scott Bros., of Elmaford, N. Y., htfd
Wm. Eccles in fine contrast with its
lighter colored competitors. This previ-
ously had been given a certificate of
merit.
Traendly & Schenck, of New York,
were awarded a certificate of merit for
a fine vase of Salmon Beauty.
Wm. BT. Duckham, of Madison, had
Mrs. C. W. Ward and Wodenethe in
fine condition. Bobert Tyson had fine

C. W. Ward and Wodenethe, fine.
G. F. Neipp, the veteran grower of
Chatham, had splendid White Wonder

plants of Schizanthus Wisetonensis. The
committee awarded him $5 in addition
to a cultural certificate.
C. J. W. Ottolander, of the F. & F.
Nurseries, read an essay on ' ' The Barer
Trees and Shrubs," as seen by him at
the Arnold Arboretum. It was edify-
ing and entertaining.
Wm. H. Duckham and Chas. H. Totty
asked everyone to come, and to ex-
hibit if possible, at the International
Flower Show. We are to have a Madi-
son day for visiting the great show and,
while most of the gardeners will go sev-
eral days, everyone will join and go
with the citizens of Madison who have
taken this up so patriotically. E. E.
Decorah, la. — ^W. T. Symonds & Son,
of the Decorah Greenhouses, have a
promising looking new carnation of
their own hybridizing. They are pre-
paring to build an addition to their
range.
Bessemer, Ala.— Mrs. W. D. Brown,
proprietor of the Colonial Greenhouses,
reports that the winter has been ari
unusually mild one and that verbenas

would be when ready for use. Wlth^ this Album youi
can show the finished work in beautifully printed pic-
tures. Everything is In it — all the standard designs

My Original SiLYER PINK SNAPDRAGON
is reaching every part of the globe. It is traveling upon its record and good looks, and
has more admirers than all other antirrhinums combined. There may be an occa>
sional pleasing sport, but aside from this, seedlings will have every characteristic of
their illustrious parent— the FAMOUS SILVER PINK. It is a distinct typ«,and
is l)est described by the original name that we crave it. Its soft, silvery shade of pink is not found in
aa]r other flower, and is at its best in full sunshine, both indoors and out Silver Pink has an estab-
lished record. Plant it and you will have the best. It is tr«ly a hish-claas novalty, and we ofier
it at small cost.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Business was fairly good last week,
funeral orders being reported by some
as quite heavy. Violets are now arriv-
ing in quantity from some of the East
Haven growers and find a ready sale
at good prices. Choice roses and car-
nations from some of the local growers
are cleaning up nicely. Azaleas and
bulbous stock continue to sell well.
From present indications Easter trade
will be up to the usual, some of the
florists having booked a number of ad-
vance orders as early as March 15.
Various Notes.
Alfred Ostermann's store was attrac-
tive last week and he reports business
as satisfactory, with violets and carna-
tions selling well. He also reports heavy
sales in green carnations and shajaroeks
for March 17.
Wfl|i ys. Long is receiving choice
roses f rotF^his brother 's place in Ea'rt;"' '
Haven. Trade was much better last
week than the we«k before, with quite
a lot of funeral work.
Champion & Co. report business as
being good. They were showing quan-
tities of shamrocks and green carna-
tions, which they had a big demand for
March 17.
Bowden & Mitchell, of Wallingford,
are sending in choice ferns, especially
■Cyrtomium falcatum. They are read-
ily picked up by the stores.
,^, The Doolittle Floral Co. has cleared
«ut a magnificent lot of Easter plants,
probably the finest stock in town. The
Easter lilies were ready on time and
were booked up early. The house of
azaleas was a magnificent sight. Bulb-
ous stock also is forced in immense
quantities. Business at the store
downtown is reported as satisfactory.
The 8. H. Moore Co. reports business
as being exceptionally good, with or-
ders for funeral work quite heavy.
Genistas in exceptionally well grown
plants, most artistically arranged in
-Chas. Munro's store, made as attractive
a window display as any in town. He
had a special sale of violets March 15,
which cleaned up all the stock on hand.
Max Krausse sent in well grown sham-
rocks, which sold well last week.

~ CARNATION CUTTINGS.
I can supply the very best carnation stock on
the market. What you need is not the cheapest
stuff you can buy but stock that will produce the
most and best flowers next fall and Winter. I
use stock plants selected each year as the most
vigorous ones in the field, I grow them cool and
flower very little; all the vigor of the strongest
plants goes into the stock you buy from me.
This is my specialty. All stock is grown and"
shipped under my own eye, I stand back of every
shipment that leaves my greenhouses, guarantee-
ing satisfaction absolutely.
Send for my list of varieties and prices, also
my special proposition to grow your stock on
until your fleld Is ready.

PANSY PARK PERFECTION is the most thor-
oughbred strain of giant show and fancy pansies,
the flowers of largest size and most perfect form.
I have made growing of pansy seeds and plants
a specialty for 40 years and It is the result of
many years of breeding and selection. It also
contains every variety Introduced by foreign
growers to date. Samples of many reports: "I
had 3000 of your Pansy Park Perfection pansy
plants; they began to bloom In February and from
then on were a sight — immense blooms, wonder-
ful coloring and great variation. Shall want at
least 10,000 and possibly more of the same giant
mixture." F. E. Peckham, Norwich, Conn.
"Send me inO.OO worth of your best pansy seed.
If as good in colors and size as they were last
year I will need double the amount next year."
G. H. Toepke, Detroit, Mich. "The Pansy Park
Perfection pansy plants obtained from you for
•our parks were quite satisfactory. Book our
order for 50,000 in separate colors and mixed, as
specified below." S. Manning, General Superin-
tendent of Parks, Baltimore, Md. Hardy field-
grown plants from seed sown broadcast, so that
each plant has plenty of room to grow stocky
and strong, with extra good roojs, just right to
transplant for blooming in May. Over 75 va-
rieties mixed, the reds, bronzes and best fancy
.sorts in large proportion. Price $4.00 1000. Cash

Greenhouse Heating.
AN IOWA CARNATION HOUSE.
Please tell me how many and what
size of pipes will be required for a car-
nation house 27 x 80, to heat it to 50
degrees when the outside temperature
goes down to 30 degrees below zero, as
it sometimes does in this part of Iowa.
Where should the pipes be located, on
the sides or under the benches, for the
best results? The house will run^ast
and west, with the boiler room at the
west end. The walls on the north side
will be double boarded, with no glass;
the south wall will contain twenty-four
inches of glass. I have quite a lot of
Ii^-inch pipe on hand. H. N. A.
To heat the house, a boiler having a
capacity to heat at least 1,000 square
feet of radiating surface should be
used. For the flow pipes run one 2%-
inch main on each of the plates and
another two or three feet below the
ridge. While it would be better to use
2-inch pipe for the returns, the 1%-inch
pipe mentioned will answer. About five
or the returns should be placed upon
each of the side walls, and eight, to be
supplied by the overhead flow pipe,
should be distributed under the benches.
The flows as well as the returns should
be given a slight fall, and if the high-
est part of each of the flow pipes is
connected with the expansion tank there
will be no occasion for using air valves.
GREENHOUSE AND RESIDENCE.
I should like to have the following in-
quiry referred to your heating expert.
Each greenhouse firm gives me a dif-
ferent estimate of the amount of piping
necessary to heat my greenhouse, which
is to be used for growing smilax and
will require a temperature of 60 degrees
in zero weather. As you will see by
consulting the enclosed diagram, the
house is 25 x 95, seven feet high to the
eaves and twelve feet to the ridge, with
four feet of glass in the sides. Beds,
and not benches, will be used.
The greenhouse runs north and south,
with the boiler at the north end. My
residence, which is also to bo heated
from the same boiler, is attached to the
southeast corner of the greenhouse.
From the boiler a 3-inch flow will run
south, under the ridge of the green-
house, and then turn east to heat the
residence. An. expert in the heating of
residences assures me that the 3-inch
pipe will furnish plenty of radiation for
the whole dwelling. As the enclosed
sketch will show you, the first story
of the dwelling contains a library.
" *" Temperature Haintained
WMle You're Gene?
It should be, but you don't know
that It Is.

This porch is to be heated in win-
ter by means of a 2-inch pipe from the
3-inch main, but in summer the 2-inch
pipe will be disconnected and the porch
thrown open. The second story of the
residence contains two bedrooms, each
14x14; another bedroom, 14x16, and a
bathroom, 6 x 11.
Now to return to the greenhouse:
Will two 214-inch flows, one on each pur-
lin, feeding six 1%-inch returns on the
West and five l^^-inch returns on the
east, supply sufficient radiation, in addi-
tion to the 3-inch flow, in this Illinois
climate? The returns from the resi-
dence are to be used to heat a lean-to

oiKh to the eaves and seven feet to the
"dge, to a temperature of 40 to 45 de-
grees. As the 3-inch flow must go uphill,
can I put the expansion tank in the resi-

It has two tanks ; the larger one does not move. Only the small one
moves to operate the valves. Objections to the tilting Trap are overcome by
carrying the weight of fixed tank and the water on special fittings, and not

on the CHICAGO TRAP. Trunnions are only U inch, and packed with

quired in zero weather than if an open
system is used. One tank only need be
used and this can be located in the
attic of the residence. By connecting
the highest point in each of the green-
house flow pipes with the 3-inch flow
pipe leading to the residence, air valves
will be rendered unnecessary.
FOE EITHER GAS OB COAL.
I am going to build a greenhouse in
the coming summer, and of course I
am on the lookout for a boiler.
I want a small boiler in which I can
bum natural gas, and if the gas should
fail I would want to use coal tem-
porarily, returning afterward to the use
of gas. Here, in Oklahoma, we have
stoves that contain a gas burner, with
a coal grate under the gas burner.
L. S. H.
While it is not possible to suggest
any particular size or make of boiler,
since the dimensions of the greenhouse
are not given, it is probable that, for
the purpose mentioned, almost any boiler
having a round grate could be used.
The rating of the boiler in square feet
of radiation should be about one-fourth
the number of square feet of glass in
the house. Such a boiler would heat
the house using coal, and when natural
gas is available the supply pipe could
be carried up between the grate bars
and the gas burner attached.
BOILERS AND SMOKESTACK.
At present we have a seventy horse-
power tubular boiler, with which we are
heating four houses, each 32 x 140. I
should like to know how many more
houses of the sfime dimensions we can
heat with this boiler. We wish to main-
tain a temperature of 65 degrees, and
the outside temperature in this part of
Idaho sometimes drops as low as 12 de-
grees below zero. How high a chimney
will be needed to get the best results?.
The altitude of the land here is about
2,000 feet. We also have two hot water
boilers, with which we are heating ten
houses, each 20x100. The draft in
these boilers is not satisfactory. The

to do to get a better draft in these
boilers. M. C. L.
One should be able to judge fairly
well regarding the surplus capacity of a
boiler by noting the ease with which it
maintains the desired temperature in
the present houses; in fact, a better
idea might perhaps be obtained in that
way than from an empirical estimate.
However, using the customary calcula-
.tion for the capacity per horse-power,
it is probable that one additional house
could be heated readily, while by crowd-
ing the boiler up to its full capacity,
whenever it is zero or less, a range of
six houses might be handled by a sev-
enty horse-power boiler. The chimney
should extend at least forty feet above
the point where the smoke flue enters,
and fifty feet would be better.
The draft in the chimney with which
the hot water boilers are connected
Could be improved by adding ten feet
to its height. Another improvement
■^"ould be to connect the flue having the
poorer draft about two feet higher. The
cliimney may be too small.

The Market.
From the quantity of stock that will
be available, this Easter should be a
record-breaker. It appears that there
will be no shortage of any kind of
flowers. Plants are unusually plentiful
this year. Lilies are of fine quality and
almost unlimited in • quantity. Crim-
son ramblers will be a little scarce, as
several of our best growers failed with
them this year. Spiraeas, azaleas, hy-
drangeas, lilacs, rhododendrons and bulb-
ous stock are to be had in almost any
quantity. There will be a good cut of
carnations and roses, including Beau-
ties. Sweet peas seem plentiful and
are meeting with a good call. Double
violets are a tough proposition. Or-
chids and valley are not having a good
market.

GREENWICH, CONN.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural
Society was held in Doran's hall, March
14, with President Robert Williamson
in the chair. Great enthusiasm is dis-
played by the members and the attend-
ance maintained at the meetings is ex-
cellent, especially considering the long
journeys some of the members have to
make. Feelings of general regret were
expressed on account of the resigna-
tion of the vice-president, Oscar Addor,
who finds that he is not able to give
due attention to the office. By the
unanimous vote of the members, H.
Wild was elected vice-president for the
ensuing year.
The best wishes of the society were
extended to James Aitchison, who is
about to take up his residence in an-
other locality.
The speaker for the evening was
William Scott, of Scott Bros., Elms-
ford, N. Y., who delivered a thoroughly
practical address on the growing of
carnations. The fact that this meeting
had been set aside as carnation night
brought out a large number of fine ex-
hibits. The three prizes given by the
society were awarded as follows: First,
James Aitchison; second, A. L. Mar-
shall; third, E. Johnson. Excellent cul-
ture was also noted in the following
exhibits:
A. L. Marshall, honorable mention for Neph-
rolepls magniflca.
James Aitchison, cultural certificate for cycla-
men and Primula malacoides.
A. Wynne, honorable mention for Scblzanthus
Wisetonensis.
Alex. Geddes, honorable mention for carnation
seedling.
Thos. Aitchison, cultural certificate for vase of
calla lilies.
Geo. E. Baldwin Co., Mamaroneck, N. Y.,
highly commended for finely flowered Cattleya
Lawrenceana.
P. W. Popp, honorable mention for Carnation
California Giant and lily of the valley.
Thos. Aitchison, honorable mention for seedling
amaryllis.
Louis Wittman, honorable mention for My
Maryland and Madison roses.
Thos. Ryan, vote of thanks for shamrocks,
"the genuine article."
Professor Jarvis, of Yale, has prom-
ised to deliver an illustrated lecture on
"The Diseases of Fruit Trees" at the
next meeting, and it is hoped that
every member will make a special ef-
fort to be present, for this lecture
should prove of vital importance to all.

great demand.
H. G. MuUis has just returned from
Peterborough and reports a full meet-
ing of the executive committee of the
Canadian Horticultural Association at
the National hotel there, with Mr. Wal-
ter Muston presiding. Matters were
discussed in connection with the an-
nual convention, to be held in that
city next August, when it is to be hoped
there will be something done. We pre-
fer to say "something done" rather
than "something doing," as the lat-
ter phrase suggests more talk than ac-
tion sometimes, and action is what is
badly needed in the C. H. A., if one
may be excused for speaking plainly.
Mark Henderson was elected by ac-
clamation to fill the vacancy on the
Brampton town council last week.
G. Muller, of the Julius Eoehrs Co.,
Eutherford, N. J., made a special trip
here last week, in the interests of his
firm. H. G. Dillemuth and J. A. Neal,
of Toronto, and J. G. McDermott, of
Ottawa, also visited the greenhouses.
It is understood that many of To-
ronto's prominent florists intend to see
the International Flower Show at New
York next month. W. G. P.

Ttie Florists' Review

Sweei Pea Houses
How that sweet peas are being
grown so profitably there are a
lot of growers who have ceased
to throw stones at a house with a
moderate number of columns.
They find them mighty handy to
wire on.
In George Schuman's 30- foot,
half iron frame houses at Baldwin,
L. I., there are 4 columns across the
house. The illustrations show what
a glorious crop he grows. He told
me on January 22nd, the day we
took the photos, that they were
planted in July and he began cutting
in September. The 12-foot vines
were still blooming freely.
If you should ask us, we would
advise your building a house with
high enough sides and enough col-
umns so you could grow anything
you wanted to at any time.
It alwaysseemed to me like"mon-
keying with destiny" to build a big,
expensive house along lines adapted
for growing limited things.
A change in market conditions or
the fickleness of fashion may make
the paying flower of this season * a
dead one" next.
So why don't we get together and
talk over our ideas of what an all-
around, practical growing house
would be for you?
It may be that our New Canti-
lever Construction is "the all-around
house."
If so, you ought to know why
it's so.
Glad to hear from you.

If you contemplate painting your houses this year it will be well for you to
investigate the merits of
FIY SPECIAL GREENHOUSE WHITE LEAD PAINT
which* I use exclusively in the erection of the large ranges of glass that I erect on private
estates and pul^lic parks. I have increased my plant to take care of the demands made
upon xne for this paint by florists in all parts of the country. The LUTTON reputation
for hX-Sh-class material is back of this product. Send for a sample free of cost, and then
yott v^ ill send your order. We also furnish materials for the complete erection of modem
Iron iSrune GraanliouseB. Some of the largest growers in the country will testify
to till ^ fact.

INFERIORITY

That is a safe general rule; in the case of CYPRESS as THE Greenhouse Lumber it is an absolute
truism. Small wonder that those who urge the ' ' substitute ' ' have but the one cry, ' ' cheaper. ' ' But the
substitute is NOT "cheaper," except as to initial cost.
The only business-like way to figure material costs in Greenhouse building is BY THE YEAE.
There's nothing consolingly "cheap" about repair and replacement bills. The truly cheapest green-
house is the one that shows the least totals — at the end of a term of years — first cost and upkeep together.
By that rule CYPRESS for greenhouse construction has all other woods beaten at the start. It is the
absolute cheapest, figured by the year of its life. If built of heart Cypress, with "Pecky" Cypress for cer-
tain parts, the wood can not be substituted by any other material ever grown or made. Talk of a "substi-
tute" is worse than bosh. It is not quite square. If contractors would say: "We can build you a greenhouse
of cheaper wood," that would do, for the so-called "substitutes" are all cheaper in first cost. BUT MORE
EXPENSIVE IN THE END. Do you care I You bet you do — you're a business man as well as a flower
grower. "The Building Age," August, 1912, issue, page 409, in specifications for a small greenhouse says:
"These timbers should be made of Cypress, for, on account of its straight grain, strength and durability,
this has been found to be THE WOOD BEST ADAPTED FOR GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION."

FACTS

Questions and Answers No. 7
Q. [Which putty do you prefer— dough or liquid?
A. For new work we believe the dough putty gives
better results. Liquid putty, if made right, is
fine for bulbing and for going over old work.
Either putty is good, but the quality must be
first-class.
Q. What is pure dough putty made of ?
A. There are several ways of making dough putty,
but we think our formula is the vsbt one for
all greenhouse work. We use 84^No. I best
whiting, 19b pure white lead and 15% best
boiled linseed oil. Our price on this putty is
always less than the raw materials alone would
cost you.
Q. Can I make my own putty ?
A. Yes. Good putty, though, can only be made in
putty-chasers. Making putty by hand is slow,
hard work, and there is nothing in it.
Q. Will the ordinary putty do for greenhouses ?
A. No. Be sure you get the formula we mention.
Q. What is liquid putty made bm ?
A. The formulas are all secret, but the principal
f^ ingredients are whiting, lead, varnish and gum.
Q. What are your prices ?
A. Send for Catalogue No. 16. It tells all about it.

Eight of these Electrics reduced the annual
delivery cost of Halle Bros.— one of Cleveland's big
dry goods stores— over $14,000!
In hilly Spokane, the performance of this trim,
efficient Electric, which has run two years, is the
reason why this same concern — the Spokane Toilet

Over seven years' constant service in Cincinnati
— hills and all— is the record of this Electric. The

recently ordered their third Electric.

^ GREAT STORMS ^
SWEEI* THE WEST
Easter Trade Interrupted by Sleet and Rain; Much
Greenhouse Property Destroyed by Wind and Flood
r^ai^^HE greenhouse industry of the
[j ___ y middle west, in the days im-
T
mediately preceding Easter
n X n and immediately following,
l^^p^l received the most tremendous
blow in the history of the
trade. The selling end of the business
was interfered with to the extent of
thousands upon thousands of dollars by
the storms which began in the early
morning hours of Good Friday, and
which continued intermittently with in-
creasing violence until the night of
Sunday. But the damage done to the
selling end of the business was incon-
sequential in comparison to the damage
done to the greenhouse structures by
the wind and flood.
Telegraphic communication is so se-
riously disorganized that only the most
meager details are available. The most
serious loss was in the vicinity of
Omaha, where cyclonic storms wrecked
the largest greenhouses west of Phila-
delphia, and in the Indiana and Ohio
river valley cities, where great floods
followed ii£,^he wake of the wind and
rain.
Omaha still is cut off from full tele-
graphic communication, but word has
been received that the two great green-
houses put up last summer by J. F. Wil-
cox & Sons, Council Bluffs, are down,
and the understanding is that they are a
complete wreck. It is a curious fact that
it is the second time that the greenhouse
shown in the foreground of the accom-
panying illustration has been blown
down. On the afternoon of July 31,
while the houses were as yet unglazed,
a storm leveled the front house, al-
though the rear house stood, twenty-five
feet away,„ This time both houses are
down, according to infornAtion received
from Koy Wilcox, who now is the head
of the company. These houses are 60x
1,000 feet, the two covering 120,000
square feet of ground. They are of
the King iron frame construction.
The brick service building crumbled and
the boiler house roof went, but the 150-
foot concrete chimney stood. The
houses contained 60,000 canation plants,
12,000 Beauties and 25,000 Killarneys in
full crop; all frozen, a total loss. The
night watchman was the only man hurt.
Work has been abandoned at this
(Manawa) plant but business goes on
as usual at the old place in the city.
As the storm proceeded eastward
from Omaha it hit a large number of
greenhouses on its way. Eeports have
been received of minor losses from a
large number of establishments between
Council Bluffs and Chicago, where the
storm seemed to again gather intensity.
Scaircely a greenhouse in the district
north and west of Chicago escaped with-
out more or less broken glass, but none
of the losses are to be compared with
the loss of Wilcox & Sons.
Then the storm skipped into Indiana
and Ohio, where the losses have been
without parallel in recent years. No
details are as yet to hand, though it is
apparent that floods have inflicted enor-
mous damage upon the trade. It would
be bad enough because of the interrup-
tion to general business, even though
the greenhouses themselves had escaped
damage. In the Indiana and Ohio sec-
tions the loss has been by flood. As
The Review goes to press, word is re-
ceived that th§^ business section of the
city of Dayton is many feet under
water and that every flower store in
that city is flooded. Those who attended
the S. A. F. convention will recall tho
topography: Dayton lies in a hollow.
With the center of the city flooded to
so great a depth the greenhouses can
hardly have escaped. All through south-
ern Ohio and southern Indiana flood
conditions are unparalleled. And green-
houses almost never are built on the
high lands; the grower's favorite site is
in the hollow, protected by the hills.
It is apparent that as time goes on
there will be a large number of reports
of greenhouses being drowned out,^f
not swept away. ^-
At Des Plaines, 111., Hoerber Bros,
suffered more severely than any other
growers in the Chicago section, and two
Soo line brakemen lost their lives in
a passing freight caboose which was
buried under several tons of brick when
the greenhouse smokestack gave way
about inidnight March 23. Owing to
the fact that the stack fell toward the
railroad track, the flying debris did no
damage to the greenhouses, but the
twister had already demolished two of
the houses 27x300 at the southern end
of the range and partly wrecked a third,
all of them rose houses. In the remain-
ing houses in the range of twenty-one,
more or less glass was blown out and
not a house escaped. Some were more
seriously affected than others and great^
efforts were necessary to save the stock
of roses and carnations. Every availa-
ble workman was pressed into service
replacing glass and closing the open
spaces with such covering as could be
obtained. Work was started at once on
the smoke stack, in order that the boil-
ers could be"* operated. The stack was
100 feet high and was broken off a few
feet from the ground. F. C. Hoerber

said March 26 that it was impossible to
estimate the loss, but that the stock
was damaged but little owing to the
quick Vepairs made. Considerable insur-
ance was carried on the plant and stack
and it will fully cover the loss. Busi-
ness was not interrupted.
H. C. Blewitt, at Des Plaines, lost one
house and another was somewhat dam-
aged.
At Downers Grove, 111., March 23,
Wellworth Farm, the establishment of
John F. Kidwell and his son-in-law, Ru-
dolph C. Ellsworth, suffered heavily
from the blow. Four houses were dam-
aged and about 12,000 square feet of
glass put out of commission. The great-
est damage was done when a shed 200
feet long that had been built in a posi-
tion to protect the greenhouses from
westerly winds was split in half, lifted
in the air, carried 100 feet and crashed
into the west end of the plant. One
house of roses was crushed and the
gable ends of two other houses torn
away. The ventilating machinery was
. twisted and bent until useless in the
houses, while only in spots was any
glass left intact. These houses were
all planted in Killarney roses, which
were in full crop. A fourth house had
just previously given way at one end,
breaking almost all the glass, but being
damaged only slightly so far as the
framework was concerned. Efforts were
at once made to save as much of the
stock as possible and with 500 yards
of burlap loaned by Bassett & Wash-
burn such sections of the houses as
still contained any glass were covered
and a gang of twenty men put to work
replacing glass.
At Deerfield, 111., one house of gar-
denias belonging to the Deerfield Nurs-
eries was demolished, while the glass
of another gardenia house, as well as
that of a house of Sprengeri, was blown
out. These houses were 34x150 feet
and the stock in the gardenia houses
was lost, but it was hoped that the
house of Sprengeri could be saved. John
Kruchten, who is interested in the com-
pany owning the plant, said 250 boxes
of glass would replace the glass in the
two houses damaged, but the third
house was completely wrecked.
At Park Ridge, 111., the storm cost
August Priebs about $3,000 in damage
done when one house was destroyed and
part of another wrecked. Considerable
glass was blown out of the other houses
also. Hunt Bros., at Park Ridge, re-
ported two houses hit by falling tele-
graph poles, considerable damage being
done. The numerous other growers in
the Park Eidge colony escaped with the
loss of a little broken glass.
At Galewood, 111., the houses and
stock of Dinstel Bros, were destroyed,
only a house of carnation cuttings be-
ing saved.
At Mendota, 111., the Restland Floral
Co., B. Katzwinkle, proprietor, lost glass
in greenhouses and hotbeds to possibly
a value of $500.
At Hinsdale, 111., Bassett & Wash-
burn 's houses were only slightly af-
fected. Hail was responsible for the
loss of fifty boxes of glass, which was
replaced within twenty-four hours and
without damage to the stock. Not a
pane of glass was lost at the new plant
at Gregg's Station, although the blow
was severe in that region.
At Detroit three houses in the estab-
lishment of G. H. Taepke, on Elmwood
avenue, were practically demolished.
At Cleveland March 25 the J. M.
Gasser Co. said: "Never before since
we have been in business have the floods
been so severe in our neighborhood as
they are today. Scarcely any trains are
in operation out of Cleveland except on
the Lake Shore, and all our shipments of
flowers have been returned to us by the
express companies with the word that
it was impossible to reach any of the
various points of shipment." Ship-
ments out 'of Chicago also are being
taken, if at all, only at owner's risk.

THE EASTEB TRADE.
There is only one variation in the
Easter trade reports. It was the banner
Easter in all those parts of the country
where the weather was favorable; in
other sections the trade was unsatis-
factory and below last year just in pro-
portion as the weather conditions were
unfavorable, 'through the west and
centering in the Mississippi valley there
was a heavy storm of rain, snow and
sleet in the early morning hours of Good
Friday, which interrupted business seri-
ously. This storm passed and Saturday
before Easter was pleasant overhead,
though bad under foot. The reports are
quite unanimous tiat Saturday gave the
florists of the entire United States the
biggest ohe day's business in the his-
tory of the trade at Easter. The storm
.of Good Friday was followed bjr a much
more severe storm sweeping from west
to east, covering the valleys of the Mis-
souri and Mississippi during the day. of
Easter and passing on eastward. This
storm not only did much damage to
property interests, but it cut thousands
upo|i thousands of dollars from the re-
tailers' flower sales. It was most se-
verely felt between Omaha and Detroit;
east of this region it did not come until
after the Easter business had been dis-
posed of, and all through the eastern
section of the country the report is that
the Easter trade surpassed the best pre-
vious records. Unfortunate as weather
conditions were through the central
states, the reports are encouraging as
showing that the business is still in-
creasing much faster than the popula-
tion.
In the storm region no deductions
can be drawn from the comparative sup-
ply and demand, as conditions were ex-
ceptional in all respects. In the sec-
tions that were, favored with pleasant |
weather, all retailers found cut flowers
and plants to sell almost equally well.
Possibly because of the early date, lilies
appear nowhere to have been in over-
supply. Flowering plants in general
were in greater supply than ever be-
fore and, except where some special rea-
son could be found for it, the stock
cleaned up so well that there is encour-
agement for still larger production next
year.
It was noticeable that everywhere
throughout the country prices on cut
flowers were held at practically the
normal wholesale level. The days of a
sharp advance ii» the price of cut flow-
ers for Easter apparently are over.
There was some increase in the whole-
sale prices of carnations, but in many
cases it proved unwarranted, and in
nearly every large city market roses
were advanced in price for the holiday
no more than they are on any day that
sees a really first-class market. The
supply of roses was large. Froni all
eastern parts of the country comes com-
plaint of the violets, but it seems prob-
able that a large part of the trouble
grew out of the unfavorable weather
conditions; the violet industry is not in
the precarious state that some of this
week's reports would indicate.
Perhaps it was because of the more
moderate prices for cut flowers that the
cut flower business increased quite sat-
isfactorily. Many retailers who report
being left with some expensive plants
say that they cleaned up better than
usual on cut flowers.
The weather conditions in some im-
portant centers were extremely unfavor-
able, and the interruption of telegraph
and telephone service in the vicinity of
Chicago imposed a handicap upon a
large number of retailers in sections
outside the storm area, but there is a
general disposition to view the situation
with philosophy, • because it is every-
where apparent that the weather, and
the weather alone, was responsible for
any decrease in sales. The trade at
large certainly was demonstrated to be
upon afe healthy a footing as at any
time in recent years.
EASTEB TBADE IN NEW YORK.
Cut flowers reach the New Yorker
through three channels, by far the most
important of which is a group of whole-
sale commission merchants located on
West Twenty-eighth and West Twenty-
sixth streets. There are about thirty-five
of these. These dealers kept open from 6
a. m. Saturday until 1 p. m. Sunday^
and were busy every minute of the
time. The second channel is the co-
operative wholesale- houses, termed ex-
changes, which are maintained by
(groups of growers and which are lo-
cated on West Twenty-sixth street. The
third channel through which cut flowers
reach the public is the suburban grow-
ers who sell their own products direct
to the public. This group is located
mainly in the vicinity of the cemeteries
and depends largely on the cemetery
trade for the demand. Their prod-
ucts are not included in the estimates
given below.
Some idea of the enormous volume of
wholesale business transacted in cut
flowers in New YoMt on the Saturday
before Easter may he gathered from
the following estimates, based on con-
fidential reports made to The Review.
According to iheae estimates, the sales
for that day and night included about
100,000 Ameiii^an Beauty roses, 400,000

other roses, half a million Easter lilies,
over a million carnations and four mil-
lion violets. The quantities of valley
and other flowers sold are less easy to
estimate. Including all varieties otf cut
flowers, it may be safely said that the
total retail value of cut flowers reach-
ing the public through the wholesale
trade on Twenty-eighth and Twenty-
sixth streets on Saturday, March 22,
was not far from $500,000. It was dis-
tinctly a big Easter.
DALEY AND HIS DESIGN.
The accompanying illustration affords
an excellent portrait of Martin J. Daley,
of James Daley's Sons, Brooklyn, while
at the same time giving an idea of the
size of the design beside which he
stands. Those who know Mr. Daley
will appreciate the proportions; to
others it may be said that there is
nothing small about him — not in stat-
ure, in business done, or in the size of
the stone that the picture shows spark-
ling on the fourth finger of his left
hand. Of course the design, a horse-
shoe, was for an opening — a good luck
emblem — and for some unknown reason
no florist ever makes a gigantic horse-
shoe of anything but Beauties, set close
together.
EASTER TRADE NOTES.
Adrian, Mich. — William Wickham says
Easter trade was better than ever be-
fore. Cut flowers sold best, but every-
thing cleaned up.
Red Wing, Minn.— John E. Sten,
proprietor of the Eiverside Green-
houses, leased a building on Bush street
for a special Easter display.
Pittsfield, Mass. — Manager Stanley
G. Barnes, of the Flower Shop, opened
an extra store in the Agricultural Bank
building for the Easter trade.
Zanesville, O. — C. L. Humphrey re-
ports the Easter business as away ahead
of anything yet known. He had a big
stock, but 'most of it was set aside for
orders by Friday.
Altoona, Pa. — During Easter week A.
A. Whitbred made use of three extra
stores at different localities on Eleventh
avenue, besides his usual display room
at II2614 Eleventh avenur.
Galena, HI. — B. F. Vandervate opened
an additional salesroom in the O'Neill
building for the Easter rush. He an-
nounced the opening in the local news-
papers and otherwise, arranged an at-
tractive display of stock at the tem-
porary store and was well repaid for
his extra efforts.
Sioux City, la. — Rocklin & Lehman,
who have two stores regularly, rented
a double store at another location for
an overflow for the Easter business.
They published a full page advertise-
ment in two colors in one of the local
papers March 19 and did a big business
at all three locations.
Malta, O.— W. C. Scovell says Easter
trade was away ahead of any previous .
year. Pot plants were in great demand,
but he was not able to supply the de-
mand for either cut flowers or pot
plants, although he had a much larger
supply than in former years. Prices
were twenty-fivfe per cent higher than'
usual.

, . >r^
Martin J. Daky and a 'With-you-well Design.
Martins Ferry, O. — Davison Bros,
placed their stock on sale at two extra
stores for Easter. One of the stores
was in Bellaire, O., and the other was
in the Cropper building on Hanover
street, in this toiyn-
Elingeriands, N*. "i'/^Fred Goldring
had entirely sold out all his pot plants
and cut flowers several days before
Easter. Everything was well timed
and, with favorable weather for de-
livery, everyone was satisfied. The
quantity was unusually large and the
quality was fully up to his usual high
standard.
Geneva, N. Y.— W. & T. Cass pre-
dict a big future for the new scarlet
rambler, Erna Teschendorff, of which
they had a limited supply just right .for t
Easter. It is distinct and brilliant.
The pink baby, Tausendschon, is an-
other good seller. They had a fine
batch .of Harriaii. Everything was
cleaned out at Easter.
Rutherford, N. J. — The Palm Sunday
exhibition at the greenhouses of the
Julius Roehrs Co., an annual event, was
held this year with the usual success,
and the proceeds, as usual, were add^d
to the Rutherford hospital fund. The
greenhouses were open on Saturday as
well as on Sundaj^, and an admission of
2.5 cents was charged.
Trenton, N. J. — During Easter week
the Park Floral Co. occupied three
stores in addition to the regular sales-
room at Buchanan and Lafayette ave-
nues. The extra stores were at 107
Perry street, 250 Hamilton avenue and
S81 South Broad street.
Auburn, N. Y.— The weather was fine
and the Easter business commenced
early, almost everything in the way of
plants, baskets and cut flowers selling
on sight. Both store men and growers
are satisfied. Alfred Patrick says low
prices prevailed, which made it possible
for all to have flowers, and hopes that
in other years this may be an example
to all.
MANURE WATER IN BARRELS.
I should like to know what is the
simplest arrangement for the use of
manure water in a small plant, with
about 1,600 square feet p€ floor space.
B. A. A.
The simplest arrangement for manure
water for a small plant is to use three
or four barrels, placed in the most con-
venient location under cover, and to
use old burlap -bags as containers for
the manure, so that the manure may
readily be removed from the barrels
when exhausted. W. H. T.

The Florists' Review
MAkcH 27. 1913,
Tiiree Teams at Woric, one of them Plowing:, in a Greenhotue.
FABMINQ UNDER Gl^ASS.
As It Is Done in Iowa.
The work conducted in a modern
greenhouse establishment is no longer
spoken of as gardening under glass; the
correct term is farming under glass.
The accompanying illustrations prove
it, especially the one in which a team
is shown plowing in a greenhouse, while
two other teams are hauling fertilizer.
Here are three teams in one house, and
in the center of it, at that, and the
operations are exactly farm operations,
nothing more and nothing less.
The big greenhouse in which the
plowing is in progress is one of those
recently built by the J. W. Davis Co.,
near Davenport, la. J. W. Davis, presi-
dent of the company, is one of the
Davis brothers who have built up large
and successful establishments at Morri-
son, 111., Aurora, 111., Streator, 111., and
at Davenport. Mr. Davis went east
at the time of the National Flower
Show at Boston and was a walking
interrogation point, for he then was
planning the Davenport establishment.
Few men ever have investigated the
subject more fully than did Mr. Davis
before deciding on the character of his
new establishment. He talked with
the men who believe that the best pol-
icy is to cover as large an area as pos-
sible for the money, and who are look-
ing for quick profits, and he talked
with the men who build for permanence.
In the end he concluded that he would
build the big houses that have become
common in the east, but which are not
generally built in the west.
^he Davenport Plant.
As H reSult twenty-six acres of land
were acquired five miles from Daven-
port, on the Iowa & Illinois railway.
The first work^was to get a sidetrack
put in, as being of prime importance
where so much building material had
to be handled. Work was commen6(|d
about June 15, 1911. The plant -m^
consists of one propagating house 24x
260, three houses 43x600 .ind two houses
64y2x600. These are. the flat iron rafter
houses of the Lord & Burnham Co.,
built separately, with sufficient space
between so that no shade is cast, a
point Mr. Davis thinks is worth all it
costs. The side walls are seven feet
high, three feet being concrete. Of
these concrete walls there is a total of
7,000 lineal feet in the establishment,
from which one can form an estimate
of the size of the undertaking in the
matter of construction. On top of the
concrete wall a cast-iron sill is bolted
to carry the iron posts. There is a
continuous line of ventilation on each
side of the ridge, also on each side of
each house under the eave plate. Both
walls are of glass above the concrete
base. The houses run east and west,
with wide doors at each end, so that
teams can be driven in, for emptying
or filling the beds, or for plowing.
There are no benches. The crops are
grown in solid beds on the ground. The
beds are eight inches deep and five
and one-half feet wide.
The Heating Arrangements. ,
Across the center of the houses there
is a passagewa}"^ eight feet wide where
the steam main is carried, the pipe
being reduced as the flows for each
house are taken off. The flows are car-
ried overhead, on the purlin posts, with
the returns on the walls. The Simonds
vacuum system is used throughout and
during the winter now closing excel-
lent results have been secured, the
houses having been heated on about
one and one -half pounds of steam pres-
sure in the most severe weather this
winter. ' ,:
There was no feature of the estab-
lishment to which Mr. Davis paid closer
attention than the service building; it
is a model of substantial construction,
convenience and thorough equipment.
It is absolutely fireproof. The building
is 50x140 feet, and with its tall brick
chimney it gives the appearance, not
of a greenhouse boiler-shed of the old
days, but of a modern power plant. It
is divided into two sections by a wall.
On one side are six Kewanee tubular
boilers, each of 150 horse-power, mak-
ing 900 horse-power all told. On the
other side of the wall are the vacuum
and water pumps, air compressor, dy-
namo and other mechanical accessories.
Beyond these is the packing room. The
exhaust steam ordinarily is sufficient
for heating the houses. Water is sup-
plied from a deep well, being forced out
by compressed air into a large cistern,
from which it is pumped direct to the
mains, under 100-pound pressure.
The Crops.
So important an industry was this
that the railroad company established
a station at the greenhouse plant; you
will find it on the time tables as Davis
Gardens, and the local passenger and
express cars stop at the station shown
in one of the accompanying illustra-
tions.
Mr. Davis built liis plant not alone
with the idea of permanence but with
the object in view of having houses

A Davis House, 43 z 600, All in Sweet Peas.
suitable for any crops which might in-
dicate that they would prove most prof-
itable. Cucumbers and tomatoes have
been the principal crops to date, but
sweet peas have been an important in-
tervening crop. One of the illustra-
tions shows one of the houses 64^x600
with the cucumbers just getting a good
start. In one of the other pictures a
house 43x600 in sweet peas is shown.
The photograph was made in January.
The pick in this sweet pea house aver-
aged 20,000 per day for some weeks.
The winter-flowering varieties were
used, Boddington's seed being planted.
The flowers were packed in the crates
ordinarily used for cucumber shipments
and most of them were consigned to
the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago. The
crop proved profitable, but it is figured
that better stems will be had another
season by less thick planting and that
better stems will produce more money.
The Davis Floral Co., a separate cor-
poration in which J. "W. Davis is inter-
ested, is now building a range of sim-
ilar houses just across the railroad
track from the present establishment,
to grow exclusively plants and cut flow-
ers for wholesaling.
YOUNG SMUiAX PLANTS.
I am planning to build another green-
house, and I have some smilax started
and want to establish it in the new
house, which I hope to have completed
by June 1. How shall I treat it? Some
of the plants are two inches high and
some are just coming through the
ground. B. A. A.
The young smilax plants should be
potted ofif into 2-inch or 2%-inch pots
aijd kept at a night temperature of not
less than 55 degrees, or a little higher
than that would be better. If the plants
become crowded in these pots before you
are ready to plant them out in the bench
in the new house, it would pay to give
them a shift to a la^er pot. Smilax
requires plenty of moisture after the
plants become established in the pots.
The most serious pest that \w liable to
attack it during the summer is red
spider, which is more likely to appear
when the plants are kept too dry.
W. H. T.
WHEEE TACT WOULD HELP.
Will you answer this query through
your columns? A large wholesale and
retail florist was sending his wholesale
catalogue to a good many of our cus-
tomers who were not in the business.
We wrote to him asking whether, be-
fore sending his next catalogues, he
would look into the matter and not
send his wholesale list to those not in
the business. This happened some time
ago. Today one of our best customers
came in and gave us "down the coun-
try" for stopping her wholesale cat-
alogue. In a town of this size, many
of one's customers are one's best
friends, from a social standpoint, and
in this case the lady was not only
angry, but had a feeling of real per-
sonal grievance against the manager
— a feeling of injured friendship.
Now, being rather green as to busi-
ness policies, we want to ask: Was it
not an unbusiness-like act, on the part
of the florist, to inform his customer
that we were the cause of stopping her
catalogue? Should he not have writ-
ten that he sent his wholesale catalogue
to dealers only? He not only has lost
our trade, but probably our customer's,
also, and while tve are small fry now,
our opportunities are such that we shall
not be small fry always. Besides, we
always pay our accounts, and paid ac-
counts, even if small, mean something
more than large unpaid ones.
A. F. C.
A florist who deals both at wholesale
and retail must be possessed of tact,
patience and infinite good temper, or
he will find himself constantly at arms
with one or another of his sustomers.
CANADIAN CUSTOMS.
The following circular to importers
of cut flowers, issued by the Canadian
customs department, should be observed
by all who ship to the Dominion:
Invoices of cut flowers should show
the price, number and grade of each in
the shipment, classed as the case may
be as special or fancy, or as numbers
1, 2 or 3, for example, as follows:
Quantity Description and Class Price
American Beauty Roses, Special or Fancy . . .
No. 1
No. 2
No: 3
Roses (other) Special or Fancy . . .
No. 1 . . .
No. 2 ...
Carnations No. 1
No. 2
No. 3
Violets
Such cut flowers are to be regarded as
having been shipped in good condition
and are to be appraised at their fair
market value as at the place of export
in such condition. John McDougald,
Commissioner of Customs.

^ SUGGESTIONS ^
ft
Perennial Phlox.
The best way to propagate perennial
phlox is from cuttings. These, taken
oflE when about three inches long, will
root easily in the propagating bench
of a cool house or even in a close cold-
frame. Keep the sun from them and
keep the sand moist and few will fail
to root. There is no need to pot off the
cuttings before planting out, for if a
cool, moist spell of weather is selected
they can be planted directly from the
cutting bench to the open ground, and
if placed six inches apart in the rows
they will produce fine heads of flowers
and make nice roots for planting out
or selling in the fall. In order to get
an early crop of cuttings, it is a good
idea to dig up a few clumps of such
sorts as it is intended to propagate
and place them in a cool greenhouse,
but cuttings can be taken from outdoors
in April and these will make nice plants
the first season.
Pansies.
Where pansies and violas have been
wintered in coldframes, the leaves or
other protection should now be removed
and the plants should receive a soak-
ing watering and be kept freely ven-
tilated. It would be well to leave the
sashes on for some time, in order to
get the plants into flower earlier. Lit-
tle baskets of well flowered plants will
be found to be good sellers and the
grower who gets them in a little earlier
than his neighbors is sure to "make
good" with them. The covering on
outdoor pansies should not be removed
too soon. In the northern states we
frequently get biting winds and keen
frosts in the first half of April and
it is always safe to leave at least a
thin mulch about them. The winter
now passing has been a comparatively
open one, but for unmulched plants it
has not been at all satisfactory.
Memorial Bench Crops.
With the passing of Easter there will
be considerable bench space at disposal,
and such crops as candytuft, ten weeks'
stocks and double feverfew, most of
which are probably in pots and in need
of a shift, should be planted out as
soon as benches are in readiness for
them. In the case of stocks, if the
plants are not yet of sufficient size to
plant out there is no need to worry
about it, as this year we have a longer
gap between Easter and Memorial day
than will again happen for many years.
Gladioli, which are now a few inches
above ground, in the benches, should
be along in time for Memorial day.
Keep the soil well stirred about them
and let the temperature average about
50 degrees at night.
Left-OTsr Easter Plants.
It hardly pays to carry over some
Easter plants, but there are others
which should not be thrown on the rub-
bish heap. Azalea Indica should not
be discarded. Pick off the flowers and
seed pods, and about the middle of
May plant all the left-overs out in
good soil in a coldframe, from which
the sasl(bars are removed and where
they can be readily reached with the
hose and given an abundant water sup-
ply. Camellias and ericas will do well
if similarly treated. Genistas can be
carried over if larger sizes are wanted.
If not, throw them away. They should
not be planted out, as they lift badly,
but should be kept in pots plunged to
their brims. The same ic true of aca-
cias and metrosideros. Eambler roses
will be of no value for forcing an-
other season, but can be cut back hard,
started up and planted out in May.
They will make useful plants for sale
in the fall. Spiraeas (astilbes) are so
cheap that it hardly pays to plant them
out.
Calceolarias.
Calceolarias are now sending up their
flower spikes and should be neatly
staked, using sticks painted green for
this purpose. As the plants will now
be well rooted in their blooming pots,
apply liquid manure once in four or
five days. As the flowers start to ex-
pand, it may be necessary to give them
a light shading from the sun's direct
rays. The large herbaceous varieties
are quite easily scorched. Be sure the
plants are kept clear of green aphis
by fumigation, as this pest will rapidly
cripple them if once it is allowed to
get a foothold. , ■ v.
'> i Fancy CaladiumB,' |» >
If caladiums are still dormant they
should be started up. If they have ;
been stored in a tolerably warm, dry
storehouse they should be sound, but
if, as sometimes happens, they are
placed with tuberous begonias a large
proportion are sure to be found de-
cayed. Start the tubers in flats of
sand and leaf-mold and do not water
too freely at first. Pot up before the
roots have started too much and give
the plants a warm, moist house to
grow in. In summer they will do well
in an ordinary greenhouse, but at this
early season they should Aot have less
than 60 degrees at night.
Starting Vegetable Plants.
Many country florists do. quite a lit-
tle business with vegetable plants, such
as tomatoes, celery, pepper^, eggplants,
lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower. Prob-
ably some of these are alrejady started.
If not, a sowing of all can' be made at
once. The varieties will; depend to
some extent on location, but as a gen-
eral rule the following are good sorts
to grow: Paris Golden celery for early.
Winter Queen for midseason, Paschal
or Boston Market for late; Bull Nose,
Squash and Kuby King peppers; New
York Improved and Black Beauty egg-
plants; Jersey Wakefield and Danish
Ball Head cabbage; Early Erfurt and
Snowball cauliflowers; Big Boston and
Tennis Ball lettuce. These vegetables
are most salable in small flats or bas-
kets, twelve or twenty-four plants in
each. All like a light but rich soil.
THETONVENTIOMCrD;
INNOVATIONS.
The August convention of the S. A.
F. at Minneapolis will afford a number
of novelties, in addition to its being
the first time that the society has met
in the northwest. The most radical
change is the lengthening of the con-
vention one day, the S. A. F. directors
having decided to use Friday for con-
vention purposes rather than turning
the fourth day over to the local organ-
izations, as has been done in the past.
The result is that the local hospitali-
ties will be postponed until Saturday,
making the convention virtually a five-
day affair, for the opening will be on
Tuesday, as usual.
Another important change is in the
matter of the local hospitalities. The
S. A. F. directors have taken cogni-
zance of the general view that too
many distractions have been provided
.at recent conventions, making the
meeting an outing rather than a busi-
ness affair. At the request of the new
directors the Twin City florists will
not provide entertainments of a char-
acter that will draw the visitors away
from the convention hall during the
four days of the business sessions. The
entertainment features for the ladies
will be made a feature of, and the gen-
tlemen who wish to visit points of spe-
cial interest on short individual trips
will be taken care of, but the effort
will be to center the interest in the
business meetings and the trades' dis-
play.
It is figured that the Minneapolis
convention will attract an unusually
good trades' display. The trade in
the northwest has developed amazingly
in recent years and there is a large
body of good buyers there who have not
been reached at any of the recent con-
ventions; it affords the exhibitors a
splendid opportunity to extend their
acquaintance and there already are in-
dications that the trades' display will
Tvr.T /

The Florists^ Review

be at least as important a feature as at
any previous conventions.
The convention is to be held in the
armory, a building which affords as
good a floor space as the Coliseum at
Chicago, or tho armory at Baltimore.
In addition there is an excellent room
for the business sessions and a number
of smaller rooms for the meetings of
the special flower societies. The ar-
rangements are as good as the society
ever has enjoyed.
Another new feature will be the out-
door display. An acre of ground in
front of the armory has been given
into the charge of Vice-President Theo-
dore Wirth and he is arranging for the
planting of exhibits there. This is a
feature tried some years ago at Day-
ton, where it proved successful, but it
has not since been possible to repeat it.
Mr. Wirth feels confident that he will
have a splendid outdoor show, and any-
one who knows the energy and garden-
ing ability of the vice-president will
feel sure that stock sent him for this ex-
hibit will hp,ve the best of care.
Work already has been begun on the
souvenir album. It, too, will be an
innovation, in that the shape of the
book will be like the standard maga-
zines, instead of the unwieldy flat form
previously used for such publications.
Plans for the book are well under way.
A dummy has been prepared, show-
ing the striking cover design and a few
of the illustrations that will go into
the book. The convention association
will be represented at the National
Flower Show at New York and work
will be pushe^p^orward actively. N<J
waiting until the last minute with the
Convention Association of Minneapo-
lis; they take time by the forelock.
Theodore Wirth was at Chicago March
21 and 22 furthering matters.
VARIOUS QUERIES.
We have some carnations that are
started in 3-inch pots and growing
nicely, but a number of them have a
''leg." The thick part of the cutting
grows up from the top of the soil, on
a hard shoot. The plants are slightly
shaded by the bench of carnation
plants south of the shelf where the pots
are. What is the probable cause of this
growth? Does it make any difference
to the value of the plant? How should
these be topped? Should we top the
heavy part of the cutting, disregard-
ing the leg, or count on breaks from
this leg? Should these plants be set
in the soil so as to bury the leg?
Does Bassett ordinarily show white
streaks in hot weather? Some of ours
have blooms that are almost faded. The
plants are healthy and vigorous, with
long, heavy stems.
What is th^ ordinary spacing of plants
in a bench? We have planted 10x12
inches, but have been told that the
large growers plant 8x10 inches.
What scarlets are best producers, in
this Kansas climate? K. G.
If I understand you correctly, the
leg you speak of is a strong shoot start-
ing near the base of the cutting. There
is absolutely no objection to this kind
of growth, as it will be of material
assistance in making a good-sized plant.
Top your plants the same as you would
ordinarily, and when this shoot has be-
come large enough, top it too. Do not
pot any deeper than you would if this
shoot were not there.
Bassett makes a few white streaks
in the flower all through the season.
They may be more prominent in warm
weather, though I cannot say positively
that such is the case. Perhaps you
are troubled with thrips, in which case
the edges of the petals would have
white spots on them.
The spacing of your plants on the
bench must depend largely on the size
of your plants at planting time. If
our plants are of ordinary size we set
seven plants across a 5-foot bench,
which means about eight inches between
the plants. The rows are set ten to
twelve inches apart, according to the
size of the plants. Unless your plants
are of unusual size, this space will be
sufficient.
There is always room for argument
as to the best varieties in this or that
color. Some growers still icling to
Victory as their best scarlet. Others
claim there is no money-making scarlet
like Beacon. Still others incline to-
ward Scarlet Glow. St. Nicholas being
a production of our own, we naturally
think it is about the finest scarlet ever.
Had w^e not thought so, we would not
have disseminated it. However, after
all is said and done, these are all good
and each grower must try them out and
choose which one will suit his needs
best. A. F. J. B.
PROBABLY NEED REPOTTING.
I am enclosing somer leaves from my
Eureka and Benora carnations, which
are rusty. The plants were bought in
the early part of January. They
seemed to start well and looked
healthy, but lately they appear to be
going backward. Can you tell me how
I can get rid of the rust? Would a
weak solution of nitrate of soda help
to start them up, so that they would
outgrow this disease? The other sam-
ple is from White Wonder, on which
a good many leaves are dying around
the base. Can you tell me the cause?
These samples are from this year's
cuttings, not from old plants. As I
am young in the business, I have a
great deal to learn and any information
on the subject will be greatly appre-
ciated. I am located in New York
state. P. C. E.
You do not state what size of pots
your carnation plants are in, but since
you do not mention having shifted them
since they were potted early in Jan-
uary, I suspect that they are quite pot-
bound. I would suggest that you shift
them into larger pots, say from 2-inch
to 2%-inch, or even into 3-inch, With
the plants in the weakened condition
you state they are in, I would prefer
the small shift. While shifting them,
pick off all the rusty leaves. After
you have repotted them, water care-
fully until they show new growth, and
then keep them dusted with Grape
Dust or hydrated lime. There will be
at least six weeks yet, before you can
plant in the field, and plants which were
potted in January can not be expected
to hold in good condition in the original
pots that long.
White Wonder is inclined to lose its
foliage a little more than some varie-
ties if the plants are allowed to get
stunted, or severely checked in growth.
A shift will likely remedy the trouble
on these, too. I can see no traces of
disease on these. A. F, J. B.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.
Chicago, 111. — On application of
Bowles & Bowles, attorneys for Clifford
Pruner, A. F. Longren and W. F. Dunte-
man, Judge Dover, in the Superior Court
of Cook county, March 24 appointed
T. T. Clark as receiver for E. H. Hunt,
Inc. The petitioners are minority stock-
holders in the Hunt corporation. Their
petition alleges insolvency and misman-
agement threatening the interests of
the petitioners. Holden & Buzzell, the
attorneys for the Hhnt corporation, de-
nied that the corporation is insolvent,
but did not oppose the appointment
of a receiver, as some of the creditors
were pressing for settlements. Holden
& Buzzell state that an accountant, who
has just completed an audit of the
books, reports net assets of $6,000 to
$7,000; bills payable, about $9,000; ac-
counts receivable, $7,000; stock, $8,000,
after liberal allowances for shrinkage.
The principal creditor is said "to be F.
A. Thompson & Co., of Detroit, the
To-bak-ine people, who have instituted
two suits, one for about $4,000 and the
other for about $500. There is one
small judgment unsatisfied. The re-
ceiver now is in charge and continuing
the business in the interest of all par-
ties concerned.
The E. H. Hunt corporation was
formed in 1906 to take over the business
established in 1876 by the late E. H.
Hunt. The capital stock is. $25,000.
The officers of the company arc: Presi-
dent, K. M. Hunt; treasurer and man-
ager, C. M. Dickinson; secretary, T, T.
Clark. It is Mr. Clark who is receiver.
For many years seeds, cut flowers and
florists' supplies were handled. A few
years ago seeds and bulbs were dropped
to permit of concentration on the other
lines, the cut flower business being the
oldest in Chicago. A few months ago
the cut flower department was disposed
of to Erne & Klingel, Mr. Erne being
an employee of many years ' standing.

The creditors had been pressing for
several days and the filing of the volun-
tary petition was to forestall an involuii-
tary petition. The appointment of Mr.
Whitney as receiver, and the schedules of
assets and liabilities aroused some of the
largest creditors, who assert that the
placing of an employee in charge of the
affairs of the bankrupt is prejudicial to
their interests, while the Garlands,
father and son, are as emphatic in de-
claring that the appointment of a trus-
tee not friendly to them will defeat
their hopes of reorganizing the concern
and putting the business on its feet
again. The matter will come to an
issue April 1, when the first meeting of
creditors will be held before Referee
Eastman.
The George M. Garland Co. is one of
the most widely known concerns in the
greenhouse building line. George M.
Garland was the inventor and patentee
of the CTarland cast-iron gutter and at
the time he brought it out attracted
wide attention, for he was a step in
advance of the times. Establishing a
foundry at Des Plaines some fifteen
years ago, the business grew steadily
until incorporation became desirable.
The officers of the company are: Presi-
dent, George M. Garland; secretary and
manager, Harry S. Garland; treasurer,
L. C. Foyer. Various other patented
features of greenhouse construction
were introduced from time to time, in-
cluding a truss house and a movable
house, on wheels, a large range of which
has been built near Detroit. Eecently
an expansion of the business had been
undertaken, with representation on the
Pacific coast and in New England, and
with a Minneapolis office in charge of
S. A. Jamieson; also the factory facili-«
ties were being increased at the time
the financial troubles became acute.
George S. Garland and his wife have
been on the Pacific coast for their
health this winter. Mr. Garland was
summoned home last week and states
that he has plans which he expects to
result in the reorganization of the com-
pany and the continuation of the busi-
ness.
' Portland, Ind.— The Portland Nur-
sery Co. has been made defendant in a
suit for an accounting and for the
appointment of a receiver filed in the
Circuit Court here by Charles W. Mc-'
Donald, receiver for the T. W. Meneray
Co., of Pottawattamie county, Iowa.
The complaint alleges that the defend-
ant company is indebted to the con-
cern of which the plaintiff is receiver,
in the sum of $260.50, and that it is
unable to meet aU financial obligations.
Boston, Mass. — Enoch E. Fletcher

of providing for a permanent secretary
of the national committee to aid in ad-
vancing the publicity movemeilt. All
florists' clubs in the country having a
publicity committee and having ap-
pointed a representative to membership
in this national committee should see
that their representative is notified of
this meeting aftid is in attendance. If

should be sent to represent the club.
W. R. Pierson,
Representative of the Publicity Com-
mittee of the New York Florists' Club.
OABDENEBS' FBOOSAM.
The National Association of Garden-
ers has completed its program for the
week. Its headquarters will be the Mur-
ray Hill hotel, Park avenue and For-
tieth street. The secretary will be at
the headquarters every morning from
eight o'clock to ten o'clock from the
opening until the closing of the show,
to arrange for the admission cards to
the show and other entertainment of
the members of the T^. A. G. Season
ticlcets to the show will be issued only
on presentation of the association 's 1913
membership card.
A meeting of the association will be
held Monday, April 9, at two o'clock, in
the lecture hall of the .Grand Central
Palace. R. F. Felton, of London, will
address the members at th^-ee o'clock
on the practical usages of flowers.
"WHO'S WHO-AND WHY"
W. WELLS.
IT is highly complimentary that, after visiting us two years ago, W. Wells should
be coming back. He must like us. As everybody knows, at least, as every
chrysanthemum grower knows, W. Wells is the English end of the interna-
tional triumvirate that includes T. W. Pockett as its Australian member and
Charles H. Totty as its American representative. Mr. Totty is the mainspring
that is energizing the clockwork of the approaching National Flower Show at
New York, so why shouldn't his business associate run over from Merstham, in
Surrey, to attend? No reason at all, so he did. He arrived at New York this
week on the Mauretania, in company with several other distinguished gentlemen
who will assist in judging the show.
Tuesday evening at nine o'clock
members of the association will assem-
ble in the men 's dining hall of the Mur-
ray Hill hotel for a Dutch treat and a
social evening. Wednesday the Na-
tional Gardeners' and Florists' Bowl-
ing Tournament will be held at Thumm 's
alleys, Broadway and Thirty-first street,
beginning at nine o'clock in the morn-
ing and lasting throughout the day.
Other entertainment will be provided
during the week, which will be an-
nounced during the first days of the
show.

The Florists' Review
March 27, 1913.
EVANSVILLE, IND.
Easter Trade.
Easter business was tremendpus, be-
ing fully up to that of last Easter and
in some respects greater. Saturday was
a beautiful, bright day, and deliveries
were made rapidly, without the extra
trouble of wrapping. On Easter morning
rain threatened, but did not come. The
day became sunshiny and summer tem-
perature prevailed, and by noon the
florists ' rush was over. Mixed with the
orders for Easter flowers was consider-
able funeral work. Boses, carnations,
violets, sweet peas, etc., were abun-
dant and thousands were sold, at prices
somewhat under those of last year.
Among the plants most called for were
Easter lilies, daffodils, jonquils and hya-
cinths.
Everything moved along smoothly
and rapidly. Of course, the beautiful
weather was "the greatest help. The
kind of weather to be had was doubtful
up to the last minute, as it was cold on
Friday, but it warmed up suddenly and
everybody was happy.
Various Notes.
The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had
one of the largest and best supplies of
plants and cut flowers ever seen here,
and it was all home-grown. The roses
and carnations were extra fine and
brought good prices. They had plants
of all kinds in abundance and these
were just about cleaned out by noon on
Sunday. They had six delivery wagons
going all day Saturday. An immense
number of packages were sent out by
parcel post. Along with all this was
some funeral work.
Julius Niednagel & Sons had a larger
supply of plants and cut flowers than
ever before, and they had a large force
working overtime in order to dispose of
this supply. The roses were plentiful,
as well as the carnations, and they had
several thousand violets of their own
growing. The latter, being fragrant,
sold better than those shipped in. The
sweet peas were fine. A number of
rhododendrons in full bloom made an
exquisite showing.
•T. C. Elspermann was well satisfied
with his sales, which were in some in-
stances greater than ever. He had a
big supply of lilies, daffodils, jonquils,
tulips, hyacinths, etc., and sent out load
after load. He had a nice cut of carna-
tions, but had to buy considerable quan-
tities of these and of roses to fill tli"
orders. A good deal of funeral work
was also on hand. Dave Elspermann
was confined to the house by illness
and could not help in the rush. Extra
help was engaged and deliveries were
made on time and to the satisfaction
of all.
Miss Xellie Goodge shared in the
large trade and was exceedingly busy.
Her line of plants was good.
Louis Fritsch had a heavy trade.
His plants were good. The carnations
were extra fine and had a ready sale at
good* prices.
Henry Seymour got his full share of
the business. His line of plants was
good. His carnations were excellent
and plentiful.
Ben Kramer was extremely busy and
had a fine lot of lilies and other plants,
as well as cut flowers.
Carl Zeidler, on the west side, had a
biff demand for seasonable plants and
flowers.
Royston & Fenton sold all the roses
they had.
Austin Wallace disposed of all of his
carnations.
The Evansville Floral Co., selling car-
nations at 35 cents to 50 cents and roses
at 50 cents to $1, seemed to be doing a
good business.
C. L. Niednagel sold all of his Amer-
ican Beauty, Killarney and My Mary-
land, all of which were of excellent
quality. E. L. F.
ST. Loms.
The Southwestern Market.
The wholesale cut flower markets
were surely in good condition last week.
The supply of anything seasonable was
large and the quality was of the best.
The early part of the week saw a big glut
in violets and peas, which were sold at
low prices, but these doubled up Sat-
urday and Sunday, when the demand
came on heavily. The same may be
said of carnations; only the best sold
well the first part of the week* but the
latter part anything sold up well at
prices from $3 to $5 per hundred. Roses
were plentiful all through the week, as
all the growers were in full crop. Rich-
mond, the Killarneys and Maryland
ranged from $4 to $12 per hundred.
There was a scarcity of Easter lilies
and callas and clean-up sales on these
were reported. In other bulbous stock
the market had a big supply of every-
thing needed, some extra fine tulips,
Dutch hyacinths, valley, Romans, free-
sias and Paper Whites, on which no ad-
vance in prices was asked. We can
safely say that our local market took
good care of the local florists this year
and all say that Easter consignments
were larger and better than in any
previous year.
Easter at Betail.
The Easter business among the local
florists was considerably ahead of last
year in cut flower sales, but in the
plant line it was surely beyond expec-
tations. The weather was fine on Sat-
urday, but Sunday a steady rain all
morning hurt the transient business
greatly. The sale of plants was re-
markable all through. Lilies had the
call above any, although azaleas and
hvdrangeas had a great demand. Tulips,
Dutch hyacinths, valley and Von Sions
in pans were also good sellers. In fact,
anything in blooming plants sold up
clean by Sunday noon. The displays of
these at the establishments of George
Waldbart. M. M. Ayres. F. H. Weber.
F. C. Weber, Ellison, Kalisch, Young
and Sanders in the west end were of
the highest type and all of these report
the best Easter business in years. In
the south end Windier, Bergstermann,
Beyer. Schray, Fillmore, Kruse, Bruenig
and Herzog are more than pleased with
their Easter business. Bentzen, Mul-
lanphy, Tower Floral Co., Ostertag
Bros, and the Metropolitan say business
was great in all respects. Young's
downtown store, as well as their west
end branch, had all they could do with
their big force of help. The florists up
near the big cemeteries, Meinhardt,
Koenig and Nyflot, as usual, had a big
demand for plants and decorations.
Various Notes.
Fred R. Aichner, representing the
Pine Tree Silk Mills Co., Philadelphia,
called on the trade last week.
Robert Scott, the Shreve avenue flo-
risty who grows plumosus for this mar-
ket, had his ventilating apparatus
badly damaged and some glass broken
by a wind storm last week.
Grimm & Gorly, who will move this
month a few doors west, used their new
place for a plant annex for the Easter
rush.
There were a lot of tornadoes all
around St. Louis Easter, but'we escaped
them. If anyone would have walked
through the west end Monday morning,
March 24, and looked at the show
houses of the florists, one would think
it had struck them, as they were prac-
tically cleaned out of plants.
George Angermueller says his Easter
business was larger than in any previ-
ous year.
At the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. last week someone asked Paddy
Patten if he was busy. ' ' Busy ! " he
said, ' ' why, my boy, if I was to drop
dead right now I wouldn't have time
to attend my own funeral."
One of the best arranged Easter win-
dows was that of Otto Sander. His
trade shows a steady increase.
From reports the local retailers en-
joyed a splendid telegraph order busi-
ness from orders of florists outside of
the city. This is one branch of the
business that is growing each year. Any
of those who advertise in The Review
will tell you that.
Henry Berning handled a fine lot of
cut lilies. These were scarce and the
big demand cleaned them up with ad-
vance orders.
The Retail Florists' Association post-
poned its meeting to Wednesday, March
26, at the Washington hotel, following
with a banquet.
The trade extended sympathy to
Henry Ostertag last week in the loss
of his brother, Fred, who died after a
lingering illness. The obituary column
contains a full account.
Riessen Floral Co., on South Broad-
way, says this was one of the best East-
ers. Everything sold well at good
prices.
A. Jablonsky had quite a heavy loss
of Easter lily plants March 20, when
his horse ran away with a load he was
delivering to retail stores. The wagon
contained 150 fine plants that were
nearly a complete loss.
The Windier Wholesale Floral Co.
had some fine snapdragon last week.
Albert Gumz says business was great.
Mrs. M. Eggeling lost a big plate
glass window, broken last week, doing
quite a bit of damage to plants. It
happened early in the week, so it did
not interfere with their Easter business,
which was good.
The Schoenle Floral Co. has closed
the store on Lafayette avenue and
moved all fixtures to the new store on
Grand avenue, which is run under the
name of Mrs. Rosa Schoenle. Mrs.
Schoenle is much pleased with her
Easter business at her new location.
J. J. B.
McCook, Neb. — The McCook green-
houses, until recently owned by E, C.
McKay, are now the property of C. H.
Brown, of Achilles, Kan. As another
result of the deal, Mr. McKay is now
the owner of a stock ranch at Achilles.
Mr. Brown has already taken charge
of the greenhouses. Mr. McKay will
leave soon for his new home on the
farm, but will retain possession of his
residence property here.

NEW YOSK.
The Market.
It was a tired, red-eyed lot of pien
who began to lock up their stores on
West Twenty-eighth street about 1
o'clock in the afternoon of Easter,
after a continuous session beginning at
6 a. m. Saturday. And many were tho
flowers which had changed hands dur-
ing that time, for all agreed that the
receipts had been from fifty to 100 per
cent greater than last year. It is true
that some of the flowers came to hand
in bad shape. Three days of hot, sultry,
foggy weather ruined the violets and
took the color out of the roses. As a
consequence, the market was filled with
unsalable violets. One commissiou mer-
chant who is entitled to speak with
authority on this particular flower said
on Sunday morning that there were not
less than a million violets carried over
in the street, and some of them good
violets, too, although the majority were
of poor quality. As for prices, they
ranged from 75 cents down to 20 to
30 cents, with the average greatly re-
duced by the waste. Beauties brought
from 50 to 60 cents for specials. In the
lower grades there was a full supply
going at the buyer's price. Killarney,
White Killarney, Eichmond, Bride and
Maid were sold at list prices in con-
siderable quantities. Cattleyas of the
dark sorts sold well at 30 to 50 cents,
and considerable quantities of Schroe-
deree were taken, but at a low range of
prices. Carnations were plentiful, and
as the week drew to a close it became
evident that the supply was excessive
and prices weakened from the top fig-
ure, which was 6 cents, till at the close
2 cents was accepted for good stock.
While large quantities of carnations
were cleaned up, a good many were
carried over. In spite of heavy re-
ceipts, lilies did well, the market being
jeleared at prices ranging as high as 5
"cents. Valley was plentiful and sold
well, but showed no marked improve-
ment in prices. Gardenias of the better
grades were in demand and brought
good prices. Sweet peas sold well, par-
ticularly if long-stemmed. Shorts, even,
were taken up fairly well and but few
were carried over. Narcissi were in
full supply and sold freely, but a good
many poeticus were carried over. Paper
Whites were no^ so plentiful and were
cleaned up well. Daffodils were plenti-
ful and cheap. Shipments of southern
daffodils came to hand March 20 and
were cleared out at 20 to 30 cents, but
the heavy arrivals anticipated for
Saturday did not materialize and the
greenhouse flowers held up well. Con-
siderable stock was carried over, how-
ever. Tulips sold freely, particularly
the white ones. Freesias continue to
come into the market and find sale at
from 10 cents up. Stocks were slow and
quantities were carried over.
Plants sold well throughout the week,
the volume of business being unequaled
and the prices satisfactory.
The Easter weather was fine and the
volume of business reported, both by
wholesalers and retailers, exceeded all
recent records^ Plants were featured
by most retailers, and the quantity of
plants sold has been tremendous.
Flowers in Department Stores.
Nearly all the New York and Brook-
lyn department stores handle plants and
cut flowers. C. C. Trepel, who has the
flower department in several of these
stores, has built up an enormous busi-
ness. At Gimbel's the flowers and
plants at Easter occupied the northeast
corner of the basement and about 100
clerks were kept busy up to the closing
hour Saturday. Bloomingdale Bros, in-
cluded in their full-page advertisements
on Friday an offer of one ticket to the
Natioiial Flower Show for the opening
night with each purchase of $1 or more
in any department of the store. The
tickets were given out in the flower
department only, in exchange for
checks.
As a result of this advertisement, the
services of five policemen were required
to keep the crowd in order, and even-
tually the crowd became so big that
the fire commissioner ordered the doors
closed for fear of the results of a panic
in such a mob. It is not often that a
florist has to be protected from his
would-be patrons by the police. Many
florists would like to be mobbed by
buyers just once, to see how it feels.
Various Notes.
' J. H. Small & Sons ' Broadway store
at Easter looked like a private conserv-
atory. At the foot and at the top of
the stairway leading up from the mezza-
nine floor to the top gallery were beau-
tiful arches of ramblers in full bloom.
These arches, which were grown for the
purpose, were perfect in their propor-
tions and most effective. At noon Sun-
day the store looked bare, almost deso-
late, except for the tired, happy clerks
who ^ad helped clear it of plants and
flowers.
Max Schling had some exquisite
Cattleya gigas and tiger lilies and
showed an attractive lot of heather in
Japanese boxes, which showed it up
well.
C. A. Dards reported trade about as
usual, with a strong preference for the
old favorites among the plants.
Alex. McConnell reported an unusual-
ly big demand • for lilies and a satis-
factory volume of trade in all lines.
M. A. Bowe had some unusually fine
spiraea and had a display of filled bas-
kets which went off in great shape.
A. Warendorff, 1193 Broadway,
showed the usual array of plants, bas-
kets, etc. Among the attractive novel-
ties was a twin basket of white enam-
eled willow, each side carrying a 7-inch
pot with an azalea in one and a Scottii
fern in the other. A yellow chick
perched among the green and a bow of
lavender ribbon gave the whrfTe a very
Eastery effect.
Young & Nugent 's store is in the
heart of the theatrical district and did
an enormous volume of business in
fancy baskets. A liberal use of ribbon
characterized their display,
f Downtown florists report liberal buy-
ing in spite of dullness on Wall street.
Warendorff 's Liberty Tower store did
a great business in plants. The An-
sonia store, where Mrs. Warendorff (76
years young) presides, makes an equally
favorable report from the hotel district.
Henry M. Robinson Co. had some fine
specimens of the new rose grown by
S. J. Eeuter & Son, Westerly, R. I.,
which, in default of a name, is known
by its shipper's number, 44. They also
had some handsome Mrs. Charles Rus-
sell from the Waban Rose Conserva-
tories, Natick, Mass.
J. J. Coan, manager of the Growers'
Cut Flower Co., displayed last week
some Majestic carnations grown by
Henry Weston, of Hempstead, L. I.,
that were over four inches in diameter
and with 3-foot stems. It is a white,
blotched with pink. This carnation was
given eighty-six points at a recent meet-
ing of the New York Florists' Club.
A flower market will be opened soon
at the northern end of Union square.
This proposal emanated from the Cen-
tral Mercantile Association and has
been approved by Park Commissioner
StoA'er. It is proposed to build a forum
to be used by flower venders in the
morning and by the public in the after-
noon and evening.
One of the commission houses re-
ceived on Saturday morning a shipment
of 40,000 single violets which only
brought an average of about 6 cents.
In his anxiety to get a big lot into the
Easter market the grower held his vio-
lets. As a result the flowers were too
old, and even the good flowers were
rendered worthless by being bunched
with decaying ones. Many of the
bunches were unsalable even to ped-
dlers. Had this grower kept his violets
picked closely he could have sent in
15,000 easily, which would have brought
75 cents on the last day, while those
shipped earlier would have brought 20
to 30 cents if they had been received in
good shape early in the week.
The friends of J. Austin Shaw will
be pleased to learn that he has so far
recovered that he has been able to leave
the hospital. He will probably be con-
fined to the house for a week or more,
bjit looks forward to the pleasure of
attending the International Flower
Show.
Wertheimer Bros, say a large number
of their customers have advised them
that they will be in New York for the
show and they are making extensive
preparations for their reception.
OBITtJAEY.
Myron H. Mills.
Myron H. Mills, a pioneer florist of
Binghamton, N. Y., died at his home,
55 Front street, on Saturday, March
15. He retired from business a few
years ago, but was well known and
highly esteemed among the older gen-
eration of florists. He was born in
Marcellus, N. Y., April 29, 1826, and
removed to Binghamton in 1870. His
first wife was Miss Louise Poppel.
Their daughter, Mrs. Celora E. Martin,
and Mrs. Tracy Fuller and Miss Jennie
Mills, the daughters of his second wife,
who was Miss Augusta Webb of Wash-
ington, D. C, survive him.
Fred W. Ostertag.
Fred W. Ostertag, at one time one of
the firm of Ostertag Bros., St. Louis,
died Tuesday, March 18, after a long
illness. He was well known among the
trade and was one of the best workmen
in the floral art and decorating for big
jobs. The funeral took place from the
residence of his brother, Henry C.
Ostertag, Thursday afternoon, March
20, at two o'clock, to Belief ontaine
cemetery. He was 42 years of age and
leaves a mother, brother and sister to
mourn his loss. A great many of his
friends attended the funeral and the
floral designs were many and beautiful.

The Saturday Evening Post, with its
more than two million circulation, cer-
tainly gave the florists a big boost with
the cover design on the issue put on sale
March 20.
With this issue The Review reaches
800 weeks of age. Not what can be
called a ripe old age, but we have aimed
to live a useful life and plan no change
in this respect.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
Those who put everything off to the
last minute may see the error of their
way in the fate of the Easter orders.
Scores of those who scorned to use the
mail found, when the eleventh hour ar-
rived, that the telegraph and telephone
wires were down and that they could not
reach their expected source of cut-flower
supply.
There are two labor wars in progress
that may in time affect florists; the silk
mills and the rubber goods mills are tied
up by strikes. Already some special
flower colors in ribbons are unobtainable
at the first hands, but the supply of rub-
ber hose still is ample, for the general
spring demand has not become strong
as yet.
An extremely handsome vase of car-
nations adorned the desk of the Editor
of The Review last week. They were
from J. F. Brown, of French Lick, Ind.,
and it is possible the unusual size of the
flowers was due to the Pluto water for
which that resort is famous. The va-
rieties were Enchantress, Washington and
Pocahontas.
S. J. Reuter, Westerly, R. I., head of
S. .T. Reuter & Son, Inc., suffered an
apoplectic stroke on the afternoon of
Sunday, March 16, and was in an ex-
tremely critical condition for several
days. March 25 he was reported as much
improved mentally, but physically weak;
he is recovering as rapidly as could be
expected under the circumstances.
There was a notable increase in the
Easter orders exchanged between retail-
ers in more or less distant cities. The
public gradually is awaking to the
fact that the trade has facilities for de-
livering orders in any distant city, and,
as the knowledge spreads, the business
grows. All retailers, everywhere, feel
safe in taking orders for delivery in any
city that has a representative in The
Review's department -of Leading Retail
Florists.
"KIND WORDS NEVER DIE."
The many words of appreciation and
suggestion that are added to subscrip-
tiolt,letters are welcome to the Editor —
and so are the occasional kicks — be-
cause they show what the trade wants
in its paper, and whether or not it is
getting what is wanted. An editor can
come in personal contact with only a
small portion of his readers; conse-
quently he is dependent on the mail to
keep in touch, although the growth of
the subscription list and the advertising
patronage — or the shrinkage! — serve as
an index to the correctness of the edi-
torial policy. There never will be a
publication that, editorially, will suit
everybody. Frank A. Munsey, one of
the greatest of living editors, recogniz-
ing this, says he edits his publications
to please himself, believing that he
will therefore please the majority of
right-minded men and women. On the
other hand, the average editor simply
tries to find out what the readers want
and then gives it to them. The wisest
course frequently is not the easiest
course, especially in a trade paper. The
easiest class of matter to get is the write-
up stuff that properly belongs in the ad-
vertising section, even though it may
have some little news value — the good
advertisements all have that. And the
easiest class of matter to write is that
laudatory stuff that no one believes, not
even the one written about, if he be
honest with himself. But "bunk,"
while it may bring an advertising or-
der, won't hold subscribers. It isn't
the class of matter that brings letters
like these:
We missed our Review last week and we want
It; in fact, we can not get along without It, for
it is part of the office staff and Indispensable —
like the proverbial fresh pop corn, the more one
gets of ft the more one wants. — Hay Floral &
Seed Co., BrockvlUe, Out., March 5, 1913.
Enclosed find |2 to pay for The Review for the
next two years. It Is a splendid paper. I often
wonder where you get all the Information you
give us from week to week. I would not be
without the paper at five times the price. ' I
appreciate your efforts to serve the trade. Noth-
ing like it is published anywhere else, in my
opinion. — W. T. League, Hannibal, Mo., March
11, 1913.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
It was a most remarkable Easter.
There was every favorable condition
for a record-breaking business, but the
weather interfered and the aggregate
money value of sales in this market was
not so great as it has been in years
when stock was not so plentiful. The
wholesalers' troubles began with the
breaking of telegraph and telephone
communication by a big sleet storm
that was general through the middle
west on the night of March 20. Chicago
was isolated. Telegrams ordering stock
to be shipped Friday were delivered
anywhere from one to three days later.
It cut a big hole in the business. Even
yet the wire service is not good.
The consensus of opinion is that the
storms are the only reason why the
market did not have a banner Easter.
There was an abundance of stock in
most lines. Good Beauties were not to
be had in any quantity. Richmond sold
better than usual on that account, not
only cleaning up, but running short.
Of other roses there was an abundance,
the quality was good and prices mod-
erate. No doubt the receipts would
have cleaned up and at a better aver-
age price- had the telegraph orders come
in on time.

THE FINEST STOCK IN LARGE SUPPLY
It is a fact you easily can prove that,
length for length, our Roses carry larger
and finer heads than any others on this
market.
We ask retailers to order freely of our Killarney, White Killamey and
Mrs. Ward, for we are certain that these roses will win friends for us by
making friends for those who buy of us. Mrs. Ward is in full crop and a
splendid seller. Eemember we have a full line:
Killarney, White Killarney, Ward, Richmond, Radiance,
Sunburst, Bulgarle (Mrs. Taft).
SWEET PEAS
This is the time of year when you can do a fine corsage business with
our fancy, long-stemmed sweet peas. We have long-stemmed sweet peas
in very large quantity— can fill orders for thousands. The longest stemmed,
brightest colored, special fancy Blanche Ferry and the new winter-blooming
Spencer. Others will have Spencers in May— here they are in quantity in
March. You can't get them anywhere else. We are the only source of
supply in this market, so why not order direct?
CARNATIONS
We believe we are receiving better average prices for our Carnations
than are being received by any other house in this market for the simple
reason that our stock grades highest— few low grade carnations here. And
the buyers have found that It's not what you pay but what you get
that determines value. We give value. The more you think about it
the more certain you are to order of us.
BULB STOCK
We can supply all the spring bulbous flowers in quantity, of good
quality and at prices that leave the retailer a good profit.

The supply of Easter lilies did not
prove to be so large as was expected.
Lilies cleaned up in good shape at
rather better prices than in recent
years. Carnations proved to be in
something of an oversupply; some
houses were able to clean up fairly
well, but buyers who were sufficiently
diligent were able to find a place where
they could have a hand in the making
of prices. This was especially the case
Saturday night and Sunday morning.
On the whole, prices will not prove any
too satisfactory to the growers.
But it was with violets that the chief
trouble came. The weather at Ehine-
beck was wet and warm. When the
stock arrived here most of it scattered
badly when the bunch was shaken, and
nearly every bunch showed a few rotted
flowers. The result was that even where
the retailers had placed orders in ad-
vance, they would not accept the goods
tendered for delivery. Of course the
greater part of the violets eventually
found a sale through the outdoor ven-
ders, but there was a discouragingly
large waste. Never in the history of
the Chicago market have the returns to
growers been so small, and yet there
was a demand for strictly first-class vio-
lets. The local singles did much better
than the eastern doubles, for the quality
was much more satisfactory.
There was the usual difficulty in |
cleaning up the bulbous stock; no mat-
ter how fast one sold, the arrivals were
even faster. Sweet peas did fairly well,
profiting somewhat by the condition of
the violets. Not many cattleyas w^re
in and they sold well, but some delayed
shipments realized little. Stocks were
difficult to sell. Snapdragons did well,
but were not in large supply.
Most of the wholesalers found them-
selves with little business Friday, ex-
cellent business Saturday and scarcely
anything doing Sunday.
Of the retail business there is an
almost unanimous report. The storm
cut a big hole in Friday's sales, Satur-
day was one of the best days ever ex-
perienced, and there was every pros-
pect for record-breaking business Sun-
day morning. Most of the retailers
worked all night Saturday and before
daylight found it raining heavily. As
a result they changed their plans, buy-
ing nothing Sunday morning and spend-
ing the day in making deliveries; there
was scarcely any retail trade Sunday,
where normally a big corsage and mis-
cellaneous counter trade is done, espe-
cially by those located in residence dis-
tricts. Practically all the retailers
were behind last year in sales. Most of
them Were stuck on plants to a greater
or less degree, but not many had over-
bought on cut flowers. Everyone takes
it philosophically, because all agree that
it would have been a banner Easter ex-
cept for the storms Friday and Sunday.
Various Notes.
Almost every greenhouse establish-
ment north and west of town lost more
or less glass in the gale Sunday night,
March 23. Several serious losses are
reported under the general storm news
on another page.
The Chicago retail florists advertised
for Easter more extensively than ever
before. Besides neighborhood advertis-
ing, several used large spaces in the
daily papers. The George Wittbold Co.
led off with a full page in the Tribune
March 19. The Fleischman Floral Co.
had a full page in the same paper
March 21, and used about one-third of
a page in some of the other dailies.
.John Mangel used about one-third of a
page in the Tribune March 19, and A.
Lange increased his regular space. C. A.
Samuelson had a strong showing March
21. A feature of the advertising was
the emphasis placed on the statement
that regular prices would prevail; no
advance because of the extra demand.
Bassett & Washburn received twenty-
two telegrams March 22 that should
have arrived March 21. Fifteen of
these called for stock to go out March
21. March 23 eight telegrams were re-

been for the crippled wire service. This
was a fair sample of what the whole-
salers faced.
N. J. Wietor, treasurer of the trades'
committee that handled the 1912 S. A. F.
convention entertainment, states that a
meeting of the committee has been
called for Thursday, March 27, at which
it is expected that the refund of the un-
expended money will be ordered.
At the postoffice March 22 a letter
was received addressed "To Some Re-

office delivered it to C. W. McKellar.
E. W. McLellan, of San Francisco,
was in town several days last week on
his way home from New York and Bos-
ton. He wired his people to ship some
of the roses he grows under the name
of Mignon, and after a five days' trip
the flowers were put on sale in the store
of the E. C. Amling Co., March 21.
The leading retailers snapped up the
novelty on sight.
A. L. Bandall returned from his an-
nual outing at West Baden in time for
the Easter rush and went to New York,
March 24, in company with Frank John-
son. Mr. Bandall sails March 27 for
Europe, on a buying expedition. Mr.
Johnson will return March 30.
J. A. Evans, Bichmond, Ind., was in
town March 21.
The Cook County Florists' Associa-

Winterson's Seed Store reports that
counter trade began promptly the mo-
ment the calendar showed the arrival
of spring, but that the bad weather has
made the increase slow.
Tim Matchen so overworked at Peter
Beinberg's during the Easter rush that
he was not able to come to the store
either of the first two days of this

W. J. Smyth had a big funeral Mon-
day morning after Easter, keeping the
force going most of the night preced-
ing, after the night work of Easter.
A, Paquette, formerly of Cleveland,

The Spring Flower Show, to open
April 1 in the Art Institute, is being
extensively advertised. The attendance
seems assured, and the probabilities are
that a good showing will be made, espe-
cially of roses and carnations, which
now are plentiful in the market.
Theodore Wirth, superintendent of
parks of Minneapolis, vice-president of
the S. A. F. and chairman of the con-
vention committee, spent a couple of
days in town last week.
E. A. Hamburg & Co., who recently
opened a store in the Atlas block, next
door to the Chicago Carnation Co., have
secured the services of Willie Abraham-
son as salesman in the department spe-
cializing on florists' refrigerators. He
assumed his new duties just before
Easter and reports having already made
some good sales. Mr. Abrahamson was
formerly with P. Jones, a florist, and is
well known and liked in the trade.

business was the largest on record, but
that it manifestly is impossible to sell
out an Easter stock in one day. The
plants left were mostly the larger ones.
Cut flowers cleaned up better than
plants.
William Kidwell, on Forty-third
street, did one-third more business on
the three days preceding Easter this
year than a year ago and sold almost
completely out of plants by Saturday
night. The Sunday corsage trade, how-
ever, was wiped out, but no stock loss
was sustained, as the store cleaned out
on cut flowers the night before and did
not buy in the rain.
W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & Co.,
says he does not recall a time when
the florists, wholesalers, growers and re-
tailers, had to contend with so much in
the way of adverse weather conditions
as March 21, 22 and 23, but adds that
even at that the weather could not
block activities entirely.
Phil Schupp comments that it was re-
markable that such small losses should
. be reported around the Bowmanville
greenhouses as a result of Sunday's
storm, and says the only glass gone at
the .T. A. Budlong place was in the
Beauty ranges, where two boxes re-
paired the damage. This he considers
especially lucky, as these houses are
now in crop.
Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, says
that with the exception of the lack of
demand Sunday morning, the business
for the week ending March 23 was the
best since the firm has been in business
and shipping was almost tripled over
Christmas.
In order to better care for the Easter
rush Harry Eowe, the Monroe street
florist, rented a vacant store at 120
South Wabash avenue, where baskets,
pans and hampers were made up.
Miss Anna Sigmund, of the Madison
Moral Co., says the few days previous
to Easter brought in a rush of large
funeral pieces that fairly swamped the
force and made it hard to get things in
shape for the Easter trade.
A call at the factory of the Eaedlein
Basket Co. found the entire staff enjoy-
ing a' breathing spell after the rush of
getting out Easter orders. According to
Curtis Raedlein, the flower buying pub-
lic is favoring the idea of buying flow-
ers in baskets more than a year ago.

CHICAOO'S SPEINa SHOW.
The second spring show of the Hor-
ticultural Society of Chicago, and its
twenty-first annual exhibition, to be held
April 1 to 5 at the Art Institute, prom-
ises to surpass last year 's event. Local
growers and a number of private gar-
deners in the city and suburbs have in-
dicated their intention to send exhibits.
Coming hs it does just after the Easter
rush and before the big show at N«w
York, it is thought that many of the
local florists will avail themselves of
the opportunity of showing Chicago so-
ciety at least some of their floral beau-
ties and decorative possibilities.
Some interesting lectures will be pro-
vided by professors from the University
of Illinois and local speakers. The ad-
dresses announced are: "Flowers for
Home Grounds," by H. B. Dorner;
"Fertilizers," by F. W. Muncie; "Col-
or Harmony in Planting," by C. F. Kel-
ley; "Flowering Shrubs in Their Order
of Blooming, ' ' by Wm. A. Peterson, the
well-known nurseryman, and "How to

of Glen EUyn. Dr. Johnson has a really
remarkable collection of material for
demonstrating the how and why of
pruning and tree surgery. The public
will be shown how to sow seed, trans-
plant and do other gardening stunts
properly by K. C. Lund, gardener for
Sears, Eoebuck & Co., who will be pres-
ent every day. Mr. Stromback will be

hibit made by the Chicago Fish Fan-

failed to produce good leaves and the
flowers were only half developed. Is
our soil too rich, where the plants grow
fourteen or fifteen inches tall? K. N.
Your spikes are just about the height
they should be. Probably they have
been kept buried outdoors or in a cold
cellar until they have become somewhat
drawn, which may account in part for
their apparent legginess, but six inches
of clear stem between the base of the
leaves and the first flowers is all right.
The fact that the flowers are loosely
scattered on the spike is due rather to
the varieties grown than to culture.
Some sorts have flowers quite densely
arranged on the stalks, while others are
quite loose. In order to have stocky
plants, they must be grown cool all
the time and quite close to the glass.
The tendency of the spikes to lengthen
out is much greater after March 1 than
earlier. Hyacinths succeed best in a
light but rich soil, containing one-third
of well decayed manure, with a gen-
erous proportion of sand, C. W.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Easter Market.
The love for Easter plants and flow-
ers is growing in the hearts of the peo-
ple. There were more of both plants
and flowers offered than ever before.
Nearly all of them were sold, the mar-
ket closing stronger on Easter evening
than seemed possible after a week of
such extraordinary activity. There is
no doubt that the receipts in dollars
and cents were larger than ever before,
probably much larger.
The scope of the business in bloom-
ing plants was remarkable. For ten
days the express companies were busy
carrying off the cream of the stock to
other cities. Then came the local de-
mand and by the time it was satisfied
there was little left in the greenhouses.
The lily was the principal Easter
plant. Everything that was in bloom,
either growing or cut, was sold at prices
that ranged from 10 to 12% cents, with
shorts at 8 and specials at 15 cents.
The demand for lilies exceeded the sup-
ply on the day before Easter. Many
more could have been sold. The azalea
was in brisk demand, the supply being
smaller than usual. Many of the grow-
ers think azaleas have ceased to be
profitable and as a result there were
not nearly enough. The rose showed a
gain in popularity. The greater variety
of the Wichuraiana class, both in the
tall and dwarf types, and the improve-
ment in their cultivation are responsi-
ble. When well done the novel va-.
rieties were eagerly taken. The French
varieties were the feature of the hydran-
feas. They were extremely pretty, af-
ording opportunity for taking color
combinations. Many Otaksa were late.
Spiraeas were excellent and abundant.
Gladstone was about the only variety
forced, except just a few of the pink,
Queen Alexandra. There were quite
enough spiraeas, although in places more
could have been used at the last mo-
ment. Ehododendrons and genistas

were excellent and popular. Daisies
are hardly important except when well
done. Valley in pots was short. Nicely
flowered hyacinths, tulips and daffodils
in pans and pots went even better than
usual. There was little salable flower-
ing stock left, either in the greenhouses
or in the shops, on Easter Monday.
The strength of the cut flower market
at Easter was surprising when the busi-
ness in plants is considered. The mar-
ket actually advanced day by day until
Easter morning, when there was little
left anywhere. The volume of business
exceeded that of last year. The sup-
ply was hardly so large. Prices were
higher, though never excessive, and
there was little waste. The warm
weather, especially on Good Friday,
caused some damage, softening some
stock so that it was unfit for use. The
violet was the weak spot. Numbers of
violets reached the city in such bad
shape that they had to be thrown out,
while some that were believed to be in
good condition caused complaint. Tho
warm weather and over-ripeness were
the causes. The New York doubles
and the fancy singles suffered most.
Lady Campbell and the little Schoen-
brun violets were the best, while some
Marie Louise from the Hudson river
were also fine. The price was 40 cents
to $1.25 a hundred. Sweet peas are
pushing the violets hard for first place
as a corsage flower and they were in

great demand when the cool weather set
in. Nobody wanted the wet, warm
weather stock and there were not
«nough bright, crisp blossoms. Pink
sweet peas were more needed than lav-
ender or white. Prices ranged from 50
cents to $1.50 a hundred. White lilac
was in good supply and sold well. Ev-
erybody wanted Ward carnations, so
that 6 and occasionally 8 cents was ob-
tained. Other kinds brought 4 to 6
cents. Holding was again the bane of
the carnation, the grower losing every
time. It really seems that if we had a
holiday every month flowers would be
held, although everybody knows or
should know that holding means loss,
to say nothing of the dishonesty of such
practices. There were not many cat-
tleyas. The dark ones, Mossise, brought
$9 a dozen more readily than Schroederse
brought $6 to $7.50. Gardenias were
corsage favorites at from $2 to $4 a
dozen.

sufficient to meet the demands for cut
lilieB<^ Buyers who were unwilling to
pay &ver 10 cents Mirly ^n the week
gladly offered 12 ana 15 cents on the
last two days. They exhausted all of
the good stock. The quantity of snap-
dragon offered was a surprise and it was
generally taken at from 75 cents to
$1.50 a dozen. Pansies did well at
about $1 a hundred. Daisies dragged
at $1.50. There were not many more
calla lilies or mignonette than the reg-
ular buyers wanted. All varieties of
green were in moderate demand. Daf-
fodils sold splendidly despite a little
outdoor and much southern competition.
There is really no comparison between
Emperor when well grown under glass
and the stock mentioned. The price
on Emperor was $2.50 to $3 a hundred,
while the southern ranged from $12.50
a thousand downward. Murillo was the
principal tulip, at 3 and 4 cents. Many
tulips were sold, but there were rather
more than enough.
The rose market was active. Special
Beauties were scarce at $7.50 to $10 a
dozen, figures that show how scarce
they were, Bichmond was not plentiful.
Prices ranged from $5 to $15, with a
few fancies higher, these prices apply-
ing to the other varieties of roses.
White were more difficult to obtain.
The market has fallen off since Easter,
but there is quite enough business to
consume a rather limited supply arriv-
ing since the close cut for the holiday.
Lilies are coming in slowly. Sweet
peas are arriving more heavily, but
there is a big demand for them. Beau-
ties bid fair to become plentiful soon.
There are no other special features to
the market beyond the fact that there
is a fair proportion of high grade stock
and prices are moderate.

BOSTON.
The Easter Market.
It would have been hard to manufac-
ture weather any nearer perfect than
we had for Easter. The cool wave
which was felt west of us did not
reach here until the evening of March
22 and little wrapping was necessary on
plants. March 21, the opening day of
spring, we reveled in a shade tempera-
ture of 68 degrees. This softened some
cut flowers, but it was a veritable boon
to the plantsmen, who were saved much
expense in wrapping.
Pot plant trade was unquestionably
the heaviest Boston has ever known.
Lilies sold out clean and more could
have been disposed of. The average
price was $12.50 per bud, but some
went to $15, with inferior grades at $8
and $10. Giganteum was the favorite
lily, but many fine Formosas were seen,
also some multiflorums. Bambler roses
came next in popularity, and there was
quite a variety of them, including
Tausendschon, Dorothy Perkins, Lady
Gay, Hiawatha, Mrs. Flight, White
Dorothy, American Pillar and several
other sorts. The baby ramblers were in
demand and there was also a large sale
of hybrid perpetuals, also teas, such as
Lady Hillingdon, and several polyan-
thas, such as Mignonette. Azaleas
seemed to be rather overdone. Whites
were especially hard to move. They
were, however, well flowered. Bougain-
villeas were offered in all sizes and
sold well; so did acaci&s and ericas.
Hmall pots of the latter were in demand.
Genistas, as usual, were sold in large
quantities, but in them dealers had con-
siderable waste,, as they do not stand
long in a store. Bulbous plants were
heavily sold. Murillo tulips and Vic-
toria and Golden Spur narcissi were
leaders in this class. Quite a few cycla-
mens appeared and sold well. In astil-
bes the varieties Gladstone and Queen
Alexandra were most in demand. Some
fine white marguerites appeared. Small
pots of Mrs. Sander sold well.
While the plantsmen had a first-class
Easter, it can hardly be said with
truth that it was the best ever with cut
flowers. Boses did not make any ad-
vance in, price; in fact, some varieties
were hard to move at normal rates.
The newer sorts sold the best and the
call for white was better than had been
anticipated. Some good Mrs. Eussell

Delight, Gloriosa and Rosette being the
leaders. Other sorts went at from $2.50
to $4 per hundred. Violets did not sell
well. Many thousands of singles were
mined by the hot weather of March 21.
Good flowers made 60 to 75 cents per
hundred, but other grades went as low
as $2.50 per thousand. Doubles of good
quality sold better than singles, some-
thing unusual here. Dutch bulbous
stock was too plentiful; low prices were
accepted to make clearances. Murillo
tulips sold at $2 to $3 per hundred and
were the most popular sort. Narcissi
were heavily overdone. Antirrhinums
were fine, but for some reason did not
sell well, even the pinks hanging fire.
Good yellow and white marguerites
made $2 and second grade flowers $1.
Valley made $2 to $4 per hundred. Cat-
tleyas and gardenias each met with a
pretty good sale. There was absolutely
no sale for stocks, little sale for wall-
flowers, but a fairly good sale for Eng-
lish primroses and cornflowers. Sweet
peas were in demand, all long-stemmed
stock being soon cleaned up. For
asparagus the call was good.
Since Easter, trade has remained
fairly good. Carnations are off crop
with most growers and white varieties
are still selling well. Single violets are
beginning to run out; doubles are good.
There is still a greater supply of bulbous
stock than can be profitably sold. Roses
are only selling moderately, but good
sweet peas are in demand.
Various Notes.
Mann Bros., of Randolph, sold over
200,000 flowers of Dutch bulbs for
Easter. In tulips, Brimstone Beauty,
also called Tea Rose, pale lemon in
color, is popular. They had a fine lot
of Lilium candidura and Spanish iris,
which were in demand.
Harry Quint did a remarkably good
Easter trade at his new and attractive
store at 16'4 Tremont street. He hired
several additional salesmen to accommo-
date his plant trade.

field day at his farm and rose houses at
Madbujy, N. H., about the middle of
May. Mr. Elliott is a first-class farmer

pick of 15,000 carnations March 21.
From his new variegated, Mrs. B. P.
Cheney, he picked 2,000 from 2,500
plants, all fancy flowers. He averaged
over 5,000 flowers a day prior to
March 21.
The yellow marguerites of N. A. Hud-
son, of Natick, are noteworthy. These
are immense in size and carried on 24-
inch stems.
According to P. Welch, trade with
Welch Bros. Co. far surpassed all pre-
vious records. In Easter lily plants
alone they sold over 30,000.
H. M. Robinson & Co. have leased the
13,000 feet of basement at the' Boston
Flower Exchange and hope to move
there in about three weeks. They will
make quite a few improvements at their
new stand and will have a light, up-to-
date and spacious salesroom.
Fred L. Sly, of South Stoughton, a
recent accession to the ranks of the
local growers of double violets, has had
great success with them this season.
His flowers are equal in quality to any
seen in the markets.
E. J. Ahem, of Wellesley, who was
unfortunate enough to have a freeze-up
in hia houses early in February, is now
sending good yellow marguerites and
English primroses to the Boston Co-
operative Market.
W. B. Cobb, of Canton, is strong on
wallflowers and English primroses.
M. B. Dallachie, of Newton Center, is
a successful grower of single and dou-
ble violets and English primroses.
Lively & Bond, of Holbrook, are
sending in large lots of callas and bulb-
ous stock to the Boston Cooperative
Market.
John McFarland, of North Easton,
sold his giganteum lilies out clean. He
also had a strong call for valley in pots.
A. F. Coolidge, of Cambridge, struck
the market right with his well grown
cyclamens, hydrangeas and genistas.
W. W, Edgar Co. reports that its sales
of Easter plants surpassed the most

Gentlemen:
During the past year I paid you $18.20 for a
half inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department
of The Review. I received through this small advertisement,
from January 1, 1913, to December 31, 1913, orders to the
amount of $566.00. They cane by mail and telegraph from
New York to' San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis.
Since I allowed the senders 30^, the record is as follows:

452.80
Here is an addition of 1458.80 in business which
could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of
only $18.30. ».
Since my advertisement appeared only*^n The Review
it goes to show what the retail florists throu&h the countryjf
l03« it they do not use this medium of advertisinjf. It also
goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big "R'

The Market.
With beautiful weather for the last
three days, the Easter business was as
good as ever, and in some cases even
exceeded all previous sitles for that
day, both in the plant and the cut
flower line. On Saturday and on Easter
morning the retailers had a tremendous
rush. The delivery with autos and
wagons was kept up until after mid-
night on Saturday and late Sunday
afternoon. The northern cut flowers
were flne, with the exception of Easter
lilies; those grown here were much
better and naturally sold more quickly
and at better prices.
Club Meeting.
The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety recently held the most interest-
ing and enthusiastic meeting of the
year at Eolb's German Tavern. Presi-
dent Herman Doescher was in the chair
and Secretary C. E. Panter at his desk.
It was decided to pay the full amount
of $100 for the society's four shares of
stock of the Southern States Fair. The
site for it has been purchased and the
plans have been drawn. Judging from
the interest shown all over the south
and even in some of the South Anier-
ican countries, the fair promises to be
a highly successful one. One of the

From now on, the society will meet
in the Progressive Union building,
where a spacious and attractive meet-
ing room has been permanently rented.
The society will endeavor to have many
interesting features at future meetings,
such as lectures by members and others,
with occasional displays of plants, cut
flowers, etc. For the opening feature
at the new meeting room it was ar-
ranged to have the president of the
parking commission, Dr. Joseph Holt,
deliver an address on the rules and reg-
ulations of the parking commission
concerning the planting and replacing
of trees on the public streets of the
city. On account of the greater suit-
ableness of the society's new quarters,
the social features will play a more
prominent part than heretofore. It
was unanimously voted that a letter
of thanks be sent to Conrad Kolb for
his generosity in permitting the flo-
rists to have the meeting room for so
many years gratis.

showed some fine Easter lilies, including
four different types — the Creole, a
home-grown product; Harrisii, Formosa
and giganteum. With the exception of
the last named, all were in bud and
flower. Harry Papworth spoke inter-
estingly on the merits and demerits of
the lilies shown, explaining the supe-
riority of the Creole type, of which
thousands of bulbs are now grown for
the nursery company exclusively. The
bulbs of these lilies are free from dis-
ease and are forced without trouble
even for so early an Easter as this
year.
The specimens of Hydrangea Otaksa
could not be surpassed in flower and
color. The entire display created a
sensation.
Dan Newsham, having charge of a
part of the establishment of his father,
J. A. Newsham, exhibited a beautiful
Calla Elliottiana in bloom, which was
greatly admired.
A vote of thanks was tendered to
the exhibitors.

KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
The retailers were favored with ex-
ceptionally fine weather for Easter,
which increased the volume of business
to just double their expectations. Pot
jdants had a heavy demand. Spiraeas
sold better this Easter than last. Pans
of daffodils, tulips and other bulbous
stock sold well. Corsage bouquets seemed
to have an exceptionally heavy demand,
as the weather was fine and everybody
was out enjoying new Easter suits.
Lilies sold fast and there were some
florists who had to turn down orders for
them, as they had sold out early and no"
more were to be had. Roses had the
heaviest call in the cut flower line, Kil-
larneys taking the lead. Carnations
sold well. Cut bulbous stock sold only
up to the expectation. The call for
potted roses, ramblers, etc., was fine,
but people here, as a general rule, do
not care to pay over $~) for Easter flow-
ers, which makes the call for larger
plants limited.
Various Notes.
The city was visited with a heavy
wind Sunday evening. Although little
damage was done, several greenhouses
report that the wind blew out a few
lights of glass.
.T. Austin reports trade for Easter up
to expectations.
Biedermann & Son 's business was
good. Everything seemed to sell that

W. ,T. Barnes had to turn down orders
for the need of time to put up and

The Alpha Floral Co. had a heavy run
on pot plants and red roses. Business
was a decided increase over last year.
One of the trucks broke down and it
was thirty-six hours before it could be
repaired, but orders were out in time.
.Tames A. Biggam was busy and he
says he had a lot of decorating, which
made delivery rather hard.
A. F. Barbe sold out entirely on
Easter lilies, although the high winds
hurt the cemetery trade to some extent.
The W. L. Rock Flower Co. reports
business as extremely heavy. The worst
of it was that nearly all the orders
came in the latter part of the week.
E. D. Ellsworth sold for Easter over
4,000 pot plants and panned bulbs and
he says he was more than pleased with
the volume of business.
Samuel Murray reports business brisk
and that his basket trade was far ahead

President, Charles N. Page, Des Moines. la.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.
Thirty-first annual convention at Cleveland, Jnne
24 to 26. 1913.
Seedsmen in general report an in-
creased call for gladioli this season, both
from florists and the public.
Counter trade is beginning to open.
In Philadelphia, New York and Boston
the business is ahead of last year at this
date.
Thad Smith has purchased an in-
terest in the Griffith & Co. Implement &
Seed House, at Paola, Kan., and will aid
Charles Griffith in the management of
the business.
The Everett Seed Co., of Atlanta, Ga.,
which added a garden seed department
last January, has already found it neces-
sary to enlarge its store at 29 West
Alabama street, in order to provide room
for the development of the new depart-
ment.
The four-story warehouse of the Wal-
dron Seed Co., Waterloo, Neb., burned
March 18, entailing a loss of $75,000,
with insurance about $60,000. None of
the other warehouses in the town were
in particular danger from this fire, al-
though it was quite spectacular.
A TORNADO passed about three-quar-
ters of a mile west of Waterloo, Neb.,
about five o'clock Easter afternoon,
doing considerable damage. The build-
ings on a farm belonging to the J. C
Robinson Seed Co. were destroyed and
slight damage done to two other places'
belonging to the company.
The California seed growers would
like some of the rain that has been fall-
ing so copiously in other sections in the
last week. The Californians could use
some ten inches to excellent advantage
and without it are not quite sure where
they will get oflf. Crops are growing
well, but the soil is moist for only about
a foot.
The William A. Davis Seed Co., re-
cently incorporated at Bozeman, Mont.,
will make a specialty of the growing of
seed peas and grain. The capital stock
is $25,000. William A. Davis is presi-
dent and general manager. B. C.
Parker, also a seedsman of experience,
is vice-president, and E. I. Renstrom is
secretary. Both Mr. Davis and Mr,
Parker are convinced that conditions in
Montana make it a desirable state for
growing peas for seeds.

The canners' business is becoming of
constantly increasing importance and
several of the wholesale seedsmen are
devoting a considerable part of their
attention to it. A canner frequently
buys more seeds in a season than does
a fairly prosperous seed store.
STOPPING THE FBEE SEEDS.
We note in The Review for March
20 the reference to "Those Free
Seeds," which to a certain extent crit-
icises the seedsmen for quoting ordinary
varieties of seed, etc., to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture for the free seed
distribution, nnd we think the reason
the seedsmen quote the government is
amply covered by the old saying, "If
we don 't get it some one else will ; "
and naturally they all want a finger in
the pie.

United States seedsmen would not
quote the department they would buy^
the seed from foreign countries. It
seemed to the writer at the time, and
he is still of the same opinion, that
such a threat would bear little weight,
if made. We question if the quantity
of seed which the United States De-
partment of Agriculture would purchase
from foreign growers would amount to
more than the orders placed with them
by the American seed trade, and if the
.^onerican Seed Trade Association
would make a resolution and stand by
it, on about the following lines, we
believe the free seed distribution would
soon stop; and that is, have a resolu-
tion to the effect that the members of
the American Seed Trade Association
would not offer to the Department of
Agriculture any ordinary varieties of
seed and furthermore that the members
of the American Seed Trade Associa-
tion would not place any orders, con-
tract or otherwise, with American or
foreign seedsmen and seed growers who
quoted seed to the Department of Agri-
culture. We believe under those cir-
cumstances the American, also foreign,
growers would stand by their customers
and turn down Uncle Sam, and it might
be worthy of consideration.

AN ADVEBTISINa IDEA.
"What we want is orders," said a
successful New York seedsman to The
Review reporter recently. "We do not
care for an enormous circulation of our
catalogues among people who may or
who may not become buyers. We have
good seeds, good bulbs and good plants.
We wish to demonstrate this. Having
done so, we will get repeat orders.
Therefore I offer special bargains — real
bargains — in my retail advertisements.
The customer who sends me $1, or $20,
for one of these special bargain lots
in the spring is the best possible pros-
pect for business when I send him my
catalogue in the fall. My gladioli, can-
nas or sweet peas are blooming before

him, or have bloomed so recently that
when he receives my fall catalogue he
can not but recall the satisfaction
which he got out of them. It pays to
follow up these bargain-buyers. But
the advertised offer must be a real bar-
gain in value as well as price to catch
the initial order and to capture repeat
orders when the fall catalogue comes
to hand. I recall one case where the
owner of a handsome estate bought a
bargain lot of cannas through an ad-
vertisement, and on receipt of the fall
catalogue sent in orders amounting to
$70. And these orders have been com-
ing in ever since. It is this kind of

The Market.
While the Easter of 191.3 was a bless-
injj; financially, it was not smooth sail-
ing all the time. Among the growers,
especially those who grow Easter lilies,
it was a matter of strenuous pushing;
among the wholesalers, with the ever-
increasing shipping trade, it also meant
incessant hustle, and most of the retail-
ers worked through Friday and Satur-
day night, so that the end was near at
hand by noon on Easter Sunday, at
which time little or nothing of any con-
sequence was left unsold. Weather con-
ditions, up to and including Thursday,
were ideal, being fairly warm, with
plenty of sunshine. On Friday, from sun-
rise to sunset, a disagreeable wind, ac-
comi>anied by snow, kept the shoppers at
home. On Saturday the sun again put
in an appearance ami, even though it
was cool, business was rushing. This
dark sjtell also kejjt back stock which
otherwise would have been fit to sell.
This Easter again proved to be a
plant day, with the call for Harrisii,
both cut and in pots, somewhat on the
decline. In cut flowers the main call
was for violets and spring stock, such
as sweet peas and the various bulbous
lines. Gooil roses were scarce and the
supply of carnations was just about
equal to the demand. Several local
growers of carnations came into crop
just about the opening of Lent and the
consequence was that the crop was gone
before tHe extra demand was at hand.

have made arrangements with a noted Gloxinia specialist in
England to reserve for us some of the most distinct types.
The bulbs are not so large as the Named Varieties, but this
is a characteristic of most Erecta superblssima varieties.

store of the Currie Bros. Co., when a
report was asked for. "Business was
fine. We sold out clean and could have
sold more violets and sweet peas if they
could have been got on short notice."
The A. F. Kellner Co. did a tremen-
dous business and had to crowd all the
church decorations into one day, Sat-
urday. As the thermometers registered
below freezing, it was a case of pack
all plants, which, it is needless to say,
did not help matters any in trying to
finish up at a respectable hour.
The Fox Point Floral Co. had a good
supply of cut fiowers in the novelty line
for Easter. The results of their first
chance at growing Easter lilies were so^
encouraging this season that they will'
go into that line more heavily another
season.
The Heitman-Oestreicher Co. reports
a liberal cut of fine carnations for the
last two weeks. Victory, with them, is
far more satisfactory than Beacon.
William Schmitz, at Thirty-second
avenue and Burnham street, had a large
batch of Von Sion daffodils just right
for the Easter rush, and the report was
that they sold at sight.
The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports
trade conditions quite satisfactory for
Easter. They had a large batch of pot
plants, which cleaned up in good shape.
They were a little shy on their famous
high-grade Killarney and White Kil-
larney roses, for which they have
gained considerable reputation. They
also reported a shortage on violets.
Gust Rusch & Co. refused to take or-
ders for Easter lilies, either pot plants
or cut flowers, after Thursday, as the
supply in this locality was rather lim-
ited. They also experienced a shortage
on Richmond roses. They had an extra
heavy call for violets and sweet peas.
They report about twice as much busi-
ness done as last Easter, and they
cleaned up by Sunday noon.
The C. C. Pollworth Co. reported busi-
ness conditions fine. The firm has a
large supply of cut flowers and pot
plants of fine quality at the Wauwatosa
plant, which were quickly disposed of.
Their lily plants were of exceptionally
fine quality this year. E. O.

TRANSPLANTING GRAPE VINES.
Will 6-year-old grape vines, such as
Niagara, Moore's Early and Delaware,
do well in holes dug 3x4 feetf I have
also put into these holes two wheel-
barrow loads of well rotted cow manure.
What should be done to a vine which
has hard, rough lumps on the roots f
Would lime help the case any! E. L.
The holes 3x4 should be ample. Be
sure to cut the vines back quite hard;
do not leave over two or three eyes on
the previous year's wood. Do not
allow the manure to come in direct con-
tact with the roots; mix it thoroughly
with the soil before using. It is a com-
mon error to put a thick layer of
manure directly below the roots. Noth-
ing could be worse for the vines, or, for
that matter, any other plants. Cut off
the roots affected as you describe.
Some lime, lime rubble or old 'plaster
will be good to use to improve such
plants. Some bone meal is excellent to
add to the soil for grape vines. C. W.

FLORISTS' REVIEW
When Writing Advertisers
DID YOU KNOW
THAT there's as much difference
in fields of lily bulbs as there is
in fields of corn, oats, potatoes, or
any other crops ?
THAT the Horseshoe Brand Gi-
ganteum fields in Japan are the
finest lily fields anywhere in the
World?
THAT they are owned and oper-
ated by the largest and strongest
association of lily bulb producers
known ?
THAT these bulbs are disbudded
very carefully in the fields of
Japan, before the buds are half
developed ?
THAT by this procedure the main
strength of the plant is reserved
in the bulb ?
THAT such bulbs will give larger
and better flowers, more of them,
with better keeping qualities, than
the other kind?
THAT they cost you very little
more, if any, than common
brands — though they are worth
much more than they cost?
THAT by buying Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum you are en-
couraging the production of bet-
ter lily bulbs and helping your-
self at the same time?
•
THAT you can only buy Horse-
shoe Brand Giganteum from us
— no other firm has these bulbs
for sale?
THAT if you order early you will
have a delivery near home, as we
deliver in twelve different cities
throughout the United States?
This saving in freight is consid-
erable.
THAT if you will sit right down
and mail us your order for lily
bulbs, for fall delivery, you will
profit by it ? Write now.

i Pacific Coast DepartmentI
Oroville, Cal. — Mrs. Minnie Summers
has opened a flower store at 50.'{ Meyers
street.
LOS ANGELES, CAL.
The Market.
Just on the eve of Easter there is
every indication that the prices of all
stock will be well maintained and that
the only shortage will be in lilies. The
early date, combined with the unusually
cold weather, has held back the Easter
lilies too long and many of them did
not make the market. Those growers
who did make it will reap a good
harvest and they deserve it. Roses
were never better than now. Carna-
tions are good and there is a greater
variety of plants than usual. Bulbous
stock is not only plentiful, but good
and of great variety. Spring flowers

At Budolph Fisher's.
The name of Rudolph Fisher and
Freesia Purity had so long been asso-
ciated in my mind that it was with
special pleasure I received an invita-
tion from him to call and see his free-
sias. "We have something better than
Purity, ' ' he said. And he doubtless
has — several things, but not in suffi-
cient quantity to give to the trade as
yet. The famous freesia grower has
about ten acres of land, part of the
world-famed "Lucky" Baldwin ranch,
a few miles from the old mission town
of San Gabriel. The outdoor crop has
suff"ered somewhat from frost, but the
majority of the bulbs are in the ten
75-foot greenhouses which were moved
from the older place at Santa Anita.
Freesia Purity is now too well
known to need any introduction here,
and Mr. Fisher has been working along
the lines of a larger flower, absolutely
pure white, with good substance to the
petals. Many of the seedlings now
flowering have these attributes, but a
good deal of selection and propagation
has to be done yet. One splenciid form,
in particular, had a spike eight inches
long, with magnificent flowers, and is
surely a promising thing. Others are
the purest snow white, without a stain
of color of any kind, but some of these
have not quite enough substance to suit
the critical wishes of Air. and Mrs.
Fisher. For here it should be men-
tioned that Mrs. Fisher takes an active
part in the hybridizing and selecting,
and has a keen appreciation of the
value of varieties.
Besides the whites, there are a great
number of colored varieties, a good self
yellow being one of those aimed at.
Some of the later crosses along this line
come near filling the bill, and there are
hundreds of showy and beautiful pinks,
reds and shades of orange. Then there
are some that are perfectly double,
others that are semi-double, and a large
number of extremely promising striped
and blotched kinds.
Mr. Fisher has built a fine new resi-
dence for himself on the tract and
intends shortly to erect more glass.
Mrs. Fisher and daughter will start on
an eastern trip shortly, their son help-
ing in the growing end of the business.
Various Notes.
The formal opening of the new retail
store of Howard & Smith took place
March 15 and was an unqualified suc-
cess. The great floor space was prettily
grouped with plants of a quality seldom
excelled, including some that were
novelties to this town. Schizanthus
Wisetonensis, while not new by any
means, has not often been seen in such
fine order, and there were magnificent
plants of Kalmia latifolia, perfectly
grown and flowered; also good azaleas,
palms and ferns and some excellent
plants of Phalsenopsis amabilis. There
was a continuous stream of customers
and visitors all day long and until late
in the evening, every lady or gentleman
entering being presented with a suit-
able souvenir.
The H. N. Gage Co. has been han-
dling immense quantities of rooted car-
nation cuttings in all the popular varie-
ties at the store. A good idea con-
THE NOVELTY
OF THE SEASON
"RAMONA"
THE NEW RED
CHEROKEE ROSE
This sensational and magnificent new climbing rose occurred as a sport from the well-
known Pink Cherokee (Rosa Slnlca, var. Anemone). It Is a stronger and more rampant
grower than Its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months flowers
In such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop of
bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pink or white forms, with brilliant
golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crimson color; an unusual
shade, wonderfully striking and efCective; the foliage is absolutely mildew-proof, a rich,
glossy green, so bright that It appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in
our advertisement in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural
size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words.
The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dleterlch & Turner, at Monte-
bello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred
thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This Is indicative of our faith
In its value, and its coming popularity Is attested by the fact that we have already booked
orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that
"RAMONA" will have the largest flrst season's sale of any new rose ever ottered to the
American trade.
•RAMONA" /v
will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf
and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting
on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc.. It is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; In addition.
It makes an elegant hedge plant If properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the
stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color.
We are offering plants of "RAMONA" at the following prices, cash with order:
In lots less than one hundred: From 2-Inch pots, 35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen; from
3-inch pots, SO cents each, $5.00 per dozen; from 6-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen.
In lots of one hundred to five hundred: From 2-tnch pots^ $20.00 per one hundred; from
3-inch pots, $30.00; from 6-inch pots, $60.00.
In lots of five hundred to one thousand: From 2-lnch pots, $125.00 per thousand; from
3-lnch pots, $150.00 per thousand.
Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored
Plate shown in The Review of February 20th, at the rate of $3.60 per hundred, $30.00 per
thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

enormous.
Among the many fine floral pieces
noted at Morris Goldenson's last week
was a splendid harp of violets and En-

The Market.
With Easter close upon us, the pros-
pects for good business are excellent.
Stock is fairly abundant and most of
the stores are busy getting in a full
supply. While there is not a surplus
of cut flowers, there is a fair supply
of carnations. Considerable export
business is being done in these flowers
and the prices are good. Boses are not
too plentiful, but some extra fine stock
is on hand. Callas are in good demand
and quite a number are finding their
way to the stores. The cut supply of
lilies is pretty good. In spite of all
the prophesying about a shortage of
pot plants, there appears to be an
abundance of excellent plants of most
seasonable varieties. On the morning
of March 19 we had three inches of
snow, which is not in accord with our
usual Easter weather.
Various Notes.
The Burns Floral Co., in addition to
a good supply of seasonable flowers for
Easter, had on display • some notable
specimens of cyclamens and obconicas.
The Butler Florists this year are con-
fining their efforts to one store. They
have all the stock they have room for
and pronounce pre-Easter business
first-class.
The H. Harrington Co. has done an
exceptionally large wholesale business
for Easter. The firm has a fine display
of Lady Gay, Dorothy Perkins and oth-
er rambler roses. Violets are good and
are selling as fast as received, while
the cut of valley and orchids has been
excellently timed to meet the Easter
sales.
Mrs. L. W, McCoy has found it neces-
sary to use an adjoining store for a
stock joom, and has on hand a fine
display of pot plants. Spiraeas, lilacs,
azaleas and hydrangeas are here in
abundance and show considerable cul-
tural skill. Among the noticeable fea-
tures are some tree peonies in bloom,
showing the usual diversity of colors
common to these lovely plants.

The Florists^ Review
\
Mabch 27, 1913.
azaleas, ramblers, rhododendrons, lilies,
lilacs, spiraeas, and kalmias being the
principal plants. Cut flowers were plen-
tiful, roses, carnations and lilacs having
the first call. Violets, valley and orchids
moved well, with no advance in prices.
The shipping trade was brisk. It started
early in the week, long-distance parcel
post facilitating matters considerably.
Out-of-town florists were heavy callers
for stock, but the retail trade used most
of the local supply. A decided change
in the weather, with snow flurries and
the mercury below freezing, checked the
stock somewhat during the week and
also the customers. Saturday was the
banner day and taxed the forces to their
utmost.
Various Notes.
Webb Bandall, representing A. L.
Bandall Co., is in the city and reports
business satisfactory.
Ben Yentis, of Morton Grove, 111., has
taken charge of the carnation section
of the Martin & Forbes Co. E. K. C.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
As we draw near to Easter, every-
thing is assuming a holiday appearance
around the stores. Flowers are plenti-
ful enough, with the possible exception
of Easter lilies. These were brought
forward rapidly during the warm
weather in January and February and
many crops are over at this time. The
prices asked by the growers range from
$2.50 to $3.50 per dozen, and for the
pot-grown stock from $10 to $15 per
dozen. While some were contracted for
at lower prices than these early in the
month, the quotations given are what
they are considered worth at present.
In carnations there seems to be a
tendency among some growers to put
their stock in pickle until the last mo-
ment and wait for a better figure than
would be otherwise obtainable. Eoses
are rather scarce and are bringing good
prices. Violets are plentiful and move
slowly. DaflFodils are stiffening in
price. Freesias are scarcer and of
poorer quality. Valley is cleaned up
nicely. Orchids remain the same as
they have been for some weeks. Bulb-
ous stock in general is getting more
plentiful, with the exception of narcissi,
and they are about over for the season.
There is an abundance of pot stock and
of fancy baskets of all kinds except
lilies. Shipping orders are good.
Various Notes.
The Mayflower Floral Co. has opened
a neat retail establishment at 33 Powell
street. It is under the management of
F. H. Higgins, for several vears with
the Hackel Floral Co.
Symacopulos Bros., of Oakland, have
sold their Broadway store in that town
to W. H. Forrest, who was for many
years in business in San Francisco.
The Valmar Floral Co. has opened a
new store at 6 Valencia street.
The Department of Horticulture of
the Panama-Pacific International Expo-
sition has announced that the creator of
the finest unnamed new rose exhibited
at the exposition in 1915 will be given
as a trophy a cup valued at $1,000, in
addition to the award made by the
committee aj)pointed by the board of
directors to name the rose. The expo-
sition will open February 20, 1915, and
continue until December 4. G.

The Florists^ Review
Mabch 27. 1913.
The Texas Nursery Co., of Sherman,
Tex., has filed an amendment to its
charter, increasing its capital stock from
$100,000 to $250,000.
The Farmers' Nursery Co. has been
incorporated at Van Alstyne, Tex., with
a capital stock of $10,000. The incor-
porators are C. G. Strickland, E. E.
Barron and A. E. Clayton.
The nursery business which was for-
merly conducted under the name of Ek-
stein & Ekstein, at Modesto, Cal., now
bears the name of Ekstein Nursery Co.
The firm has sales yards and greenhouses
at H and Bodem streets.
The Wolverine-Detroit Nurseries have
been incorporated, with headquarters at
Detroit, Mich., and lands in Southfield
township. The stockholders are Edwin S.
Sherrill, Philip H. Gray and Lester F.
Clark, all of Detroit. Of the $15,000 cap-
ital, $8,150 has been subscribed.
Charles W. McDonald, receiver for
the T. W. Meneray Co., has filed a suit
in the Circuit Court, at Portland, Ind.,
asking the appointment of a receiver for
the Portland Nursery Co. Further de-
tails are given in the Business Embar-
rassments column in this issue.
W. A. Wagnee, who for several years
has been engaged in the nursery business
at Antlers, Okla., has returned to Du-
rant, Okla., and will again be identified
with the Durant Nursery Co., of which
he was formerly manager. He will be
one of Manager Foote's assistants and
will occupy one of the new bungalows
which Mr. Foote is building in tBe west
part of the town.
The Davenport Nursery, of Davenport,
la., which was conducted for many years
by Nichols & Lorton, is now under the
management of Wm. H. Mast and W. J.
Duppert, who have purchased the stock
and leased the ground. Both men are
well equijpped for the business, both by
education and experience. Mr. Mast
graduated from Ames Agricultural Col-
lege, took the full course in forestry at
Yale and has been connected with the
United States forestry service for thir-
teen years. Mr, Duppert graduated from
the forestry course at Ann Arbor, Mich.,
has been connected with the national
forestry service and with the forestry
department at Nebraska University, and
is a professional landscape gardener.
A TREAT TO NUBSEBYMEN.
If there is a nurseryman who has not
already awakened to the fact that The
Eeview, while published primarily for
florists, is of unequaled interest and
value to those in the nursery trade,
the following letter will show the
facts:
The BeTlew always Is a treat to tne, and I am
more of a nurseryman than a florist. I gain
lots of Information from It and am glad to
porlose $1 for another year. — Chas. B. Glvan,
Murfreesbo»o. Tenn.. March 20. J91.1.
EN BOUTE TO POBTLAND.
In planning the trip to the Portland
convention of the A. A. N., in June, a
day 's stopover at Toppenish, Wash., has
been arranged. The train will arrive
early in the morning, the official car
will be side-tracked, and, in an auto
trip of about forty miles as the guests
of the Washington Nursery Co., the
party will view the irrigable portion
of the Yakima Indian reservation, wdth
its fine agricultural and fruit lands;
various nurseries, and the fine orchards
which lie on the bench lands under the
famous Sunnyside canal. The trip will
be of utmost interest to those who wish
to see the Yakima valley in all its
phases, including the matured bearing
orchards. Dinner and supper will be
served to the guests and the special
car will be attached to the midnight
train. Those who wish a copy of the
tentative itinerary from the east to
Portland may write to M. B. Fox, care
Eochester Lithographing Co., Eoches-
ter, N. Y., or to Secretary John Hall,
of the same city, to whom those who
decide to go to the convention should
also report quickly.
DUTY ON PAEONIA ABBOREA.
The Treasury Department -vas re-
cently advised by the collector of cus-
toms at New York as to the classifica-
Rhododendron Catawbiense- Truo American Species.
"And to paint these heme pictures we
need chiefly AMERICAN material.
We must face this deadly parallel:'*

lion of Paeonia arborea. The practice
at the port is to assess duty on peony
bulbs or clumps at $10 per thousand,
under paragraph 263 of the tariff act.
As this .peony is a hardy deciduous
shryb with a woody stem and different
in character from the PsBonia Sinensis
and other herbaceous varieties, the col-
lector suggested that the merchandise
was dutiable as nursery stock at twen-
ty-five per cent ad valorem under par-
agraph 264.
The Treasury Department investi-
gated the matter and learned that
Pffionia Moutan, formerly known as
Pffionia arborea, is essentially a
shrubby perennial and should be classi-
fied as a deciduous shrub rather than
as a bulb, as it differs from the herba-
ceous peonies, including the species
known as Paeonia Sinensis and Paeonia
officinalis, which have bulbous roots and
annual tops. The department holds
that Paeonia arborea is dutiable as
nursery stock at twenty-five per cent
ad valorem, under paragraph 264, and
after April 13 duty will be assessed on
it as nursery stock at twenty-five per
cent.

tor of the Fairmont Nurseries, Fair-
mont, Minn, In the Morris Tribune of
August 2, 1912, the following appeared:
It has Jnst come to my notice that agents have
recently soUdtecl orders for nursery stock In
your vicinity for a so-called Royal Nursery Co.
of Fairmont, Minnesota.
As a matter of fact there is no nursery here
by that name and the parties who have given
orders to this concern should not only counter-
mand them and refuse to take them, but should
see that agents and principals in this concern
are apprehended and punished for soliciting or-
ders for an institution that does not exist.
I have also been informed that at times these
parties have claimed they represented the Fair-
mont Nurseries, and I would be glad to hear
from anyone that has given orders with this
understanding, and to coSperate with them so
far as possible in bringing these parties to
justice.
The orders will, no doubt, be filled with In-
ferior southern grown stock with a total disre-
gard to Tarleties sold.

Well rooted, carefully regraded and every-

lowing damages in the sum of $600.
The attorneys for Mr. McKisson have
taken a stay of forty days, which is
understood to mean that they will ask
for a new trial or else that the case
will be appealed.
WHAH THE A. A. N. HAS DONE.
In a circular to non-members Secre-
tary John Hall recounts some of the
work of the American Association of
Nurserymen.
"A few things the tariff committee
has accomplished: Secured a tariff
equitable and satisfactory to nursery-
men; had the duty upon French fruit
stocks made per thousand, doing away
with the old-time controversies over
valuation; recently visited Washington
and expects to prevent the threatened
tariff reduction. The work of this com-
mittee has been of immense value to
nurserymen.
"The transportation committee is
also a wideawake part of the associa-
tion and has saved more than the mem-
bership fee of every individual nursery-
man in the land. It has had classifi-
cations defined and freight rates re-
duced; it has caused railroads to give
carload rates for less than carload lots,
etc., etc.
"The legislative committee has pre-
vented much unwise and unfair legisla-
tion, both state and federal, and at
this time is testing the constitution-
ality of several state laws which oper-
ate injuriously. to our business interests.
"Further, the committees on pub-
licity, root gall, standardization of
grades, etc., have done and are still
doing equally good work.
' ' Like the watchman on the tower,
these committees must be constantly on
the alert, for there is no limit to the
necessity for eternal vigilance."

ALBANY, N. Y.
Fred A. Danker is a firm believer
in publicity. In a large illustrated ad
in a leading local newspaper he an-
nounced a two days' exhibition of
Easter stock, on Saturday and Palm
Sunday. He extended a cordial invi-
tation • to the public and stated that
nothing would be sold during that time.
A conservative estimate placed the at-
tendance at 8,000, and Sam Goldring,
the genial superintendent, says he never
saw a more appreciative crowd. The
stock was in prime condition and in-
cluded practically everything from or-
chids to pansies of exquisite markings.
The new rose houses came in for a
large share of admiration. The newest
thing in tulips. Yellow Murillo, is a
taker. In buildings, a concrete storage
house for hardy stock is the latest; it
is so arranged that a lean-to slat house
will be built for summering the large
stock of orchids.
Mr. Danker has fifty acres of ex-
cellent land that is available for nurs-
ery purposes and the nucleus of the
nursery has already been formed. The
property, being situated on the state
road, has a fine frontage in full view of
the many passers-by, and cannot fail
to be attractive. Mr. Danker is is-
suing a neat general catalogue, in line
with his artistic tastes. M.
Salt Lake City. TJtali— The flower

chased by a new organization, called

president; J. E. Whitney, Jr., secretary
and treasurer, and J. F. Walk, manager.

DID YOU INVESTIGATE SHAWYER 7
DID YOU KNOW-
That the New York Florists' Club awarded it ninety-one points srrowincr in the benches, more than it scored it as a cut flower on the exhibition
table?
Its true Rose-pink color persists even when Killamey and other pinks are wretchedly pale?
That no matter how strong the growth, the bud is always perfect?
That while the bud is full enough to admit of its being a splendid summer flowering Rose, it will open just as free in mid-winter and is a rapid
grower? If you know these things we most likely have your order. If you don't know them you should get acquainted with the facts
of the case. Price. $30 00 per hundred : $250 00 per thousand.

LOS ANQELES NOTES.
rOontlnued from pave C2.]
that Mr, Morley has a grasp of the
situation in the southern city that
speaks well, not only for his executive
siill, but also for his knowledge of the
plants he is handling and their specific
requirements culturally. It would be a
good thing if every city in the Union
had such a man at the head of park
affairs, one who knows what is wanted,
knows the climatic difficulties and op-
portunities and can so easily describe
them. San Diego is fortunate, indeed,
in obtaining the services of such a man
as John Morley has shown himself
to be.
Staiger & Mundwiler are busy with
decorative work. Their stock of ken-
tias in all sizes is good and they find
them exceedingly useful.
At the Huntington estate, at San
Marino, Beaumontia grandiflora is flow-
ering freely outdoors, in spite of the
cold winter, and is beautiful. Solandra
guttata, though badly hit, is breaking
up freely and will soon be in good shape
again. The outdoor cyclamens were
untouched and are masses of bloom.
In the orchid houses a fine lot of Cat-
tleya Schroederae and various phalsenop-
sis are making a good show, while the
beautiful Medinilla magnifica is a sight
long to be remembered. The Japanese
garden is bright with azaleas, double
peach, andromeda and other plants, and
is a lasting tribute to William Hert-
rich's skill. With the added work at
the new hotel grounds, Mr. Hertrich is
a busy man, but never too busy to wel-
come interested visitors and show them
the beauties of this really wonderful
place.
William Felgate, gardener for Dr.
Barlow, at Sierra Madre, is planning
considerable landscape work along the
lines of naturalizing shrubs and flower-
ing plants. He has a fine chance in
this pretty little place and is surely
making the most of it. The herbaceous
borders here are fine, while Mr. Pel-
gate 's skill as a vegetable grower is too
well known to need any praise here.
George M. Garland, of Des Plaines,

H. B. Bichards.
Fort Dodge, la. — C. De Mester, fore-
man for the last two years for the
North Floral Co., has associated himself
with W. M. Colwell, a well known busi-
ness man of this city, in the formation
of a new firm which will bear the name
of the Park Floral Co. The firm will
build greenhouses on what is known as
the McNamara property, opposite Oak-
land and Corpus Christi cemeteries, and
will also have extensive gardens, with
strawberries as one of the specialties.

SEATTIiE NOTES.
[Oontinned from page 63.]
Sandahl & Sons have their Easter
lilies in good shape, from their plant
at Benton Junction. Their supply of
the usual Easter stock is large and
fully up to the average in quality. They
report the nursery business as being
much improved, compared with that of
last season at this time.
The Hollywood Gardens have an ex-
ceptionally fine display of spiraeas and
hydrangeas. They have a good supply
of lUies, roses, carnations and violets,
and their made-up baskets are bound
to be good sellers.
The Eosery is making a good show
of Hiawatha and other roses. The
firm has some fine specimens of spiraea
and the carnations, roses and lilies are
excellent.
The Woodlawn Flower Shop has a
beautiful combination of Genista fra-
grans and azaleas on display. Some
baby ramblers, well grown and flow-
ered, are also pretty. They have a
large supply of obconicas, good lilies
and other flowers.
T. E. Hopkins, of Kirkland, has just
imported a carload of fine hybrid rho-
dodendrons for his nursery trade.
Miss A. M. Wagner, well known in
the flower trade here, is now at the
store of the H. Harrington Co., on
Fourth avenue.
J. Lussier, of the Fremont Floral Co.,
was successful in getting all his gigan-
teums in for Easter. Frank Bell, at
Brighton, got most of his in, while
other growers met with varying suc-
cess and some with absolute failure.
The wholesale price varied from 15
cents to 22% cents. Quite a number
have been shipped out of town, which
will help the retail price. In most
stores the charge is 35 cents per bloom,
but a better result is obtained by sell-
ing at a fixed price per plant.
Tickets are selling fast for the Flo-
rists ' Club 's dance, to be held April 2,
and indications point to a successful
affair.
Miss Josephine Hoefinger is assisting
in the store of the Paris Florist. Miss
Frieda Ousterhout, well known to the
trade in the middle west, is also work-
ing at this store.
C. Hoffmeister will resume posses-
sion of his plant at Madison street
April 1. Mrs. L. W. McCoy hereafter
will conduct her growing department
at South Park only.
The wholesale houses report that
they were obliged to refuse numbers
of order* for lack of stock to supply
them. With the cold weather that im-
mediately preceded Easter, they had to
use additional packing to protect their
plants and cut flowers. T. W.
TO QET ROOM
we are compelled to make the follow-
ing sacrifices. If you can use any of
this stock, get your order in while the
assortment is complete.

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME
|HE best Sport of Enchantress op to date, possessing all the vUror and freedom that dis-
tinguish its parent. Color a light salmon pink — a color that is not only very attractive,
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without bleaching. A good all-round
Carnation that retains its color at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of the
parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown no inclination to be a burster. The
weak points of Enchantress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four years'
duration convinces us of its great value.

My Original SiLVER PINK SNAPDRAGON
is reaching every part of the globe. It is traveling upon its record and good looks, and
has more admirers than all other antirrhinums combined. There may be an occa-
sional pleasing sport, but aside from this, seedlings will have every characteristic of
their illustrious parentr— the FAMOUS SILVER PINK. It is a diatinct type, and
is best described by the original name that we gave it. Its soft, silvery »hade of pink is not found in
any other flower, and is at its best in full sunshine, both indoors and out Silver Pink has an estab-
lished record. Plant it and you will have the besfe. It is truly a hish-claaa novalty, and we offer
it at amall coat.
Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 600 seeds; 8 packets, $2.50. delivered.
Can still supply plants for bedding at $3.00 per 100, 200 for $5.00. by express. Cash must accompany

The Florists' Review
Mabch 27, 1913.
EVEBGBEEN, ALA.
The shippers of decorative evergreens
in this locality are extremely blue over
the sad culmination of what promised
to l»e the biggest Easter wild smilax
trade that this section has ever known.
On account of the unusuAlly early
Easter this year, the smilax people
were anticipating a big trade, with
plenty of profit in it. They even had
the orders booked, but when it came
to delivering the goods there was
''nothing doing," and this time it was
no fault of the shippers.
There had been a heavy rainfall in
this section since about March 8, and
on the afternoon and night of March
14 there was a veritable flood. Elvers
and creeks were out of their banks,
railroad bridges were washed away, all
telegraph and telephone wires were
down and whole towns were under wa-
ter. On Saturday morning, March 15,
the little town of Evergreen awoke to
find itself entirely cut off from the out-
side world, being bereft of all means
of communication, either by railroad,
telegraph or telephone. On account of
the loss of bridges on the public roads,
it was impossible to travel more than
a mile or two through the country.
For several days no connection by
wire could be secured. Just as soon
as there was telegraphic communica-
tion, all the late Easter orders for smi-
lax that had been held up on account
of the flood began pouring in. The
village telegraph office was crowded
with despondent smilax shippers and
hundreds of northern florists were sent
this message: "High water. No trains
since Friday. No wire until today."
Trains finally began running again
on Thursday, March 20, with Easter
only three days ahead. Orders for Bir-
mingham, Atlanta and other nearby
markets would have been shipped in
time for Easter even then, but as the
country roads were impassable and most
of the woods still under water it was
impossible to secure one sprig of smi-
lax.
The shortage of sheet moss on this
market has also been disastrous.
Weather conditions have been such for
weeks past that it was impossible to
prepare the perpetuated moss shipped
80 extensively from Evergreen. It has
also been out of the question to get
the natural sheet moss dry enough for
shipping purposes. Under normal con-
ditions, more moss is shipped at Easter
than at any other time during the year.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed
for the shipping and delivery of Easter
stock and everybody reports business
as being exceptionally good. Stock of
all kinds was plentiful and most of the
growers report being entirely cleaned
out. Funeral work continues to be quite
heavy.
Various Notes.
The S. H. Moore Co. reports the best
Easter trade ever, with an exception-
ally heavy call for cut flowers, espe-
cially roses, carnations and violets. Pot
plants sold well, especially azaleas,
hyacinths and tulips. All fancy stocks
cleaned up. Some choice made-up bas-
kets sold exceptionally well.
Boses and carnations from Sherwood,
of Southport, were exceptionally choice
and were all picked up early in the day.
The firm had several church decorations,
especially a large decoration for St.
Mary's, and a large number of funeral
orders for March 23.
Charles Munro had a most attractive
display, both in his window and store.
His greenhouse back of the store was
packed full of Easter stock, all tagged
ready for delivery. To deliver his or-
ders he had to hire two or three cars,
to be used along with his own. He re-
ports trade as away ahead of last year.
Champion & Co. report business as
exceptionally good. For the holiday
trade they rented the old Steinert store,
where a lot of stock was cleaned up.
William H. Long reports business ex-
ceptionally good, pot plants having sold
better this year than cut flowers, with
the exception of violets, for which he
had a heavy demand.
Andrew McCrea is convalescing after
his recent illness.
E, F. Coe, of the Elm City Nursery
Co., gave a talk March 19, under the
auspices of the Edgewood Civic Asso-
ciation, on "Japan, Its Cities, People
and Gardens," illustrated with beauti-
ful lantern slides.
Alfred Ostermann reports Easter busi-
ness as being exceptionally good.

PANSIES.
PANSY PARK PERFECTION Is the most
thoroughbred strain of giant show and fancy
pansies, the flowers of largest size and most per-
fect form. I have made growing of pansy seed»
and plants a specialty faJT40 years and it is the
result of many years of breeding and selection.
It also contains every variety introduced by
foreign growers to date. . Hardy, fleld-grown
plants from seed sown in August, broadcast,
so that each plant has plenty of room to grow
stocky and strong with extra good roots; just
right to transplant for blooming in May. Over
75 varieties mixed, the reds, bronzes and best
fancy sorts in large proportion, $4.00 per 1000.

YELLOW MABGUEBITES.
Will you please tell me how to grow
yellow daisies? I am going to put in
one house of them next year. I have
ordered the cuttings, but I do not know
how to treat them. Do you grow them
in pots until you plant them in beds, or
do you plant them out in the field f
Anything you can tell me of their cul-
ture I shall be glad to know. C. A.
You can either carry the marguerites
in pots over summer or plant them out.
I find a good plan is to sink the pots
overhead to permit of the plants mak-
ing roots above and below them, and
to keep them where in dry weather an
occasional watering can be given. If
kept in pots a good ball of roots is pos-
sible, while if planted out practically
no ball can be had. Some growers
carry the old plants over from year to
yeat in pots, standing these on beds
where they are allowed to root through,
and have good success. Others plant
in shallow benches or boxes and get a
good winter crop. Still others propa-
gate in late summer and plant in solid
beds.
For midwinter flowering, plants must
have the roots restricted and pots or
narrow benches are best to use. If,
on the other hand, flowers are not
wanted until from late spring until the
end of June, set them in solid beds.
The more the roots are cramped, the
earlier they will flower; the greater the
amount of root room, the later they will
come into crop. C. W.
TompklnsviUe, N. Y.— The flower busi-
ness of Charles Boehe, on the Rich-
niond turnpike, has been purchased by
August Kohlman, son of the former
park commissioner. John D. Kohlman.
The senior Mr. Kohlman has been able
to give his son much valuable aid in the
selection of stock for the business and
has also secured the contract, it is said,
for the laying out and planting of
Tompkinsville park.

[Concluded from page 3H.]
sanguine expectations, being cleaned
out on practically everything salable.
George W. Ayer, of Beading, had a
fine crop of both double and single vio-
lets last week. In carnations his Beacon
and White Wonder leave little to be
desired.
It would be hard to find finer Beacon
carnations than A. P. Capers, of Welles-
ley, is sending in from plants two years
old. In addition to carnations, he has
a fine crop of myosotis.
Thomas A. Cox, of Dorchester, and
W. T. Walke, of Salem, were heavy
shippers of well grown and flowered
ramblers to the Boston Cooperative
Market for Easter. All were in demand.
William A. Eiggs, of Auburndale,
states that he had a splendid Easter
trade. Pot plants are his specialty and
include ramblers, azaleas, lilies, acacias
and hydrangeas.
The Boston Plower Exchange, roomy
as it is, was none too large to accommo-
date the offerings of plants and flowers
for Easter. Pot plant growers can dis-
play their productions to much better
advantage at the new, as compared with
the old Park street market.
W. Rosenthal, of the Boston Cut
Flower Co., says there is no reason to
complain of Easter trade.
James Wheeler had a grand Easter
crop of carnations. His pink snap-
dragon was fine and he had several
thousand yellow marguerites.
Local nurseries have been busy dig-
ging stock for some days, all frost hav-
ing been out of the ground since
MarchU7.
W, H. Elliott had a heavy Easter cut
of roses. These sold at about normal
prices. Christie Miller, Ward, Hilling-
don and Richmond were extra good.
Some nice, yellow hybrid teas were
offered in pots.
William Patterson, of Wollaston, had
a fine Easter trade in bulbous flowers.
I saw no finer Victoria narcissi or Mu-
rillo tulips than at his stand at the
Boston Flower Exchange.
William Caraher, for the Sutermeister
Estate, sold 60,000 bulbous flowers
March 22, principally tulips and nar-
cissi.
F. J. Dolansky had excellent Easter
sales of both gardenias and cattleyas.
A. M. Davenport, of Watertown, sold
out clean on his well grown ramblers,
lilies and genistas.
R. C. Bridgham reports that he had a
fine Easter trade, especially in such
plants as ramblers, lilies and azaleas, at
his store, 67 Beacon street. At Mr.
Bridgham 's Newtonville greenhouses a
first-class lot of Easter stock was grown
and the cut from his rose houses was
excellent.
F. L. Wheeler, son of James Wheeler,
of Natick, and Samuel B. Crombie, late
salesman for Mr. Wheeler, who are
operating the City Flower Shop in
South Framingham, opening the same
last October, had an excellent Easter
trade and report general business as
good.
James Lister, of Stoneham, sent in a
fine lot of ericas for Easter, selling the
same at the Boston Cooperative Market.
Aubrey Pembroke, salesman for his
brother, A. A. Pembroke, at the Boston
Flower Exchange, is handling thou-
sands of superb carnations daily. His
Gloriosa, Rosette and Pink Delight are
superb. Mr. Pembroke will compete at
the coming New York show.

Greenhouse Heating.
FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER.
Can a steam heating system be
changed into a hot water system, and
howl Our boiler is a twenty-five horse-
power horizontal, for steam. It has two
outlets on top for 4-inch pipe; the re-
• turn openings are also for 4-inch pipes.
The boiler is two feet lower than the
lowest return pipe. How high must the
flow pipe rise to insure circulation f
There are two greenhouses, each 25x125,
and the location is southern Pennsyl-
vania. H, E.
To use the boiler described, for hot
water, no change will be necessary ex-
cept that there will be no occasion for
retaining the water column, steam
gauge and safety valve.
Nothing is said regarding the con-
struction of the houses or the tempera-
ture desired. If there is no glass in
the walls it will be possible to main-
tain a temperature of 50 degrees by
running a 4-inch flow pipe from the
"boiler to the farther end of each house
and connecting each flow pipe with ten
2-inch returns, to be placed on the
walls or under the benches. The flow
pipes should be carried through each of
the houses at a slight fall, from three
to four feet below the ridges. Connect
the highest point in each flow pipe with
the expansion tank, which should be
several feet higher, if it can be ar-
ranged. If a temperature higher than
50 degrees is desired, close the system
Dy attaching a generator to the expan-
sion pipe.
IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Will you kindly advise me regard-
ing the piping of my greenhouse for
hot water, stating the number of feet
of radiation for a temperature of 50
degrees when the thermometer shows
10 degrees below zero outdoors? The
house is 18x30, even-span and nine feet
high to the ridge, with walls of con-
crete three feet high. T. C. K.
To heat- a house 18x30 feet to 50
degrees^ when the outside temperature
is 10 dtfglTOs below zero, run a 2%-inch
flow pipe at a slight fall one foot below
the ridge to the farther end of the
house, where it should be dropped down
and connected with eight 2-inch re-
turns. Four of these should be carried
in each direction across the end of tjie
house, and along the side walls bacTc
to the boiler. After the flow pipe en-
ters the house, this arrangement will

In a former issue of The Review you
^ave me instructions about piping the
house with a 3-inch main and 2-inch

smaller pipe at less than 2 cents, you
«an readily see my reason for want-
ing the new information. B. A. A.
It would be better to use either two
214-inch or three 2-inch flows, and nine
or ten 2-inch returns, for 60 degrees,
or seven or eight retui^s for 50 de-
grees. However, as the smaller size
of pipe is on hand;^>it can <hb»Tieed to

Buy the Chicago Trap
It has two tanks; the larger one does not move. Only the small one
moves to operate the valves. Objections to the tilting Trap are overcome by
carrying the weight of fixed tank and the water on special fittings, and not
on the trunnions, as in all other tilting traps. Only the pilot Tank moves
on the CHICAGO TRAP. Trunnions are only H inch, and packed with
METALLIC PACKING, which wears indefinitely. The valves are also
packed with METALLIC PACKING.
Return your condensation to the boiler and save the HEAT UNITS;
only one-tenth the steam required to operate a pump.

the 1%-inch pipe for three flows, plac-
ing one on each plate and the other
two feet under the ridge, and using
ten to twelve l^^-inch pipes for the
returns for 60 degrees, and nine for 50
degrees If it becomes necessary to
use the 1%-inch pipe, put in three re-
turns for two 1%-inch. For the main
flow and return pipes use 3-inch, tak-
ing off the three IVb-inch flows at
some point near the end of the green-
house, and connecting each of the coils
with the 3-inch return main by means
of 1%-inch pipes.
In order to secure good results with
small pipe for heating greenhouses, it
will be advisable to use a generator,
connecting it to the expansion pipe,
which should lead from the highest
part of the main flow pipe. From this
point all of the pipes should be put
in so that they will have a slight fall,
which will not only give a better cir-
culation than when the flow pipe runs
up-hill, but will do away with all oc-
casion for using air valves. It will
be well to put in one gate or angle
valve on each flow pipe, at some con-
venient point.
DETROIT.
The Market.
All previous records were broken by
this Easter business. The first part of
the week it looked rather gloomy and
the sales for this period probably will
run behind those of last year. Friday
morning we were visited by the most
severe wind storm in forty years. The
wind attained a velocity of eighty miles
an hour and business was practically
at a standstill. Saturday business be-
gan unusually early and many of the
stores found it necessary to lock their
doors at times in order to catch up with
the orders. It rained nearly all of
Easter Sunday and the temperature was
above freezing.
Double violets were poor, but all were
disposed of, in many cases to be re-
placed on Monday or money refunded.
Single violets were of good quality and
completely sold out. Sweet peas were
good, but the supply was not nearly
equal to the demand. Roses, with the
exception of red, were exhausted. Bed
ones were scarce. Beauties were few.
Entirely too many short lilies were
available, while the long-stemmed were *
cleaned up almost entirely. There was
a scarcity of good lilies on plants.
The supply of cut bulbous stock was
heavy and it was impossible to cl«an it
up. There was a tremendous sale of
bulbous plants. Carnations sold well,
with few left after the rush. Thomas

PROVIDENCE.
The Market.
Providence witnessed one of the big-
gest Easter sales of flowers in its. his-
tory. Everywhere it was declared that
the traffic was the heaviest ever seen
and crowds thronged the flower stores,
while many bought from the depart-
ment stores. Up to Saturday morning
every indication was that there would
be a plentiful supply of everything, ex-
cept, perhaps, a few novelties. But
within a few hours after the opening
Saturday there was a rush made upon
all the growers and wholesalers for
more, but without success.
Violets were more plentiful than ever
before, but in many places they were
all sold out before noon. One shop re-
ports having sold over 50,000 during the
evening. Bulbous and other growing
plants were plentiful and in great de-
mand. A big demand for American
Beauty and Eichmond roses made a
shortage in these, but there were plenty
of the Killarneys and My Maryland.
Orchids and gardenias were also in de-
mand. Prices ruled at about the same
as last year on all flowers.
An extraordinarily large supply of
Easter and calla lilies was soon ex-
hausted, many of the churches having
gone extensively into decorations this
year. In many cases where it was found
impossible to meet the demand, combi-
nation baskets were made up and found
to be satisfactory.

The Market.
The hard rain Easter morning put a
quietus on the flower business. This
probably would have been one of the
best Easters yet, had it not been for the
rain. Trade was good Saturday and it
seemed as though everything that
looked like a flower would be cleaned
up by the following noon. But about
6 a. m. on Sunday the rain began to
pour down and kept it up all day.
Stock of all kinds was plentiful this
year. Of Easter lilies there were more
than enough to go around. The cut
blooms brought $3 per dozen. Pot lilies
had a good sale, bringing 25 cents for
a flower or bloom. Of bulbous stock
there was, as usual, more than enough.
American Beauties had a good call,
though the quality was not the best.
Boses were of good quality and sold
well, with prices ranging from $2 to $4
per dozen. Carnations moved well at
from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Hudson
river violets wtre of poor quality and a
great many arrived in bad shape. The
home-grown violets were of better qual-
ity and found ready sale. Valley and
sweet peas found a quick sale in cor-
sages. Pot plants probably sold better,
than cut flowers. The medium priced
plants had the call. Plants ranging
from $1 to $2.50 sold well.

fine vase of the new rose, Mrs. George
Shawyer, staged by C. H. Totty. Both
varieties were awarded a certificate of
merit at the fall show and were at this
time highly recommended. The prize
offered by James W. Smith for the best
twelve roses of any variety other than
American Beauty was awarded to John
EUiott.
An interesting discussion on the cul-
ture of roses was opened by Joseph
Mooney and taken up by Messrs. Brad-

BRAMPTON, ONT.
Without bowing the knee to the su-
perstitious ' ' thirteen, ' ' it must be con-
ceded that the meteorological condi-
tions of the Easter of 1913 were quite
in keeping with the theory of bad luck.
All the greenhouses in this neighbor-
hood suffered severely through broken
glass on Good Friday, and the heaviest
wind storm ever experienced here put
all the telephone and telegraph wires
out of order. Business was practically
at a standstill except for the orders
that were already in the hands of the
packers, and not a single order could
be received over the long distance
wires between 1 p. m. on Friday and
late on Saturday night.
Notwithstanding this severe draw-
back, through which the florists suf-
fered possibly more than the growers,
the Easter trade was larger than ever
at the Dale Estate. The lilies and or-
chids, particularly, brought the highest
prices, in a market constantly demand-
ing more. W. G. P.
FRENCH LICK, IND.
A. L. Randall, the well known whole-
sale florist and dealer in florists' sup-
plies, of Chicago, was a guest at the
West Baden hotel last week and made
us a pleasant call. He expressed him-
self as pleased with the looks of the
French Lick greenhouses, and reported
he was enjoying a large southern trade.
Mr. Wagner, of Sidney, O., one of the
brothers who own and carry on the
Wagner Park Conservatories, intro-
duced himself to us March 18 and re-
ported business good, as they have a
great deal of landscape work to do. He
was a guest during the week at the
French Lick Springs hotel.
F. J. Brown, the local florist, is en-
joying a good trade. He is cutting
some unusually large and fine carna-
tions.

IF you want to prove the U-Bar whys up point by point, come and see
our exhibition at the NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. We will have a
full-grown house right there in a garden plot. You can make com-
parisons with other constructions right then and there. There will be
some one of us always on hand to give you the glad welcome.
If you can't come, then read what follows, carefully. Look at the
wheels of a bicycle — see what slender little, wire-like spokes they have —
yet what strong, sturdy wheels they are. Surely no one would think of
going back to the clumsy, old wooden-spoked wheel.
By the same token, did you ever stop to think how like the bicycle
wheel U-Bar greenhouses are?
No heavy wooden roof bars or large iron framing members — but in
their place a complete, all steel frame of U-Bar as light and strong in pro-
portion as are the bicycle spokes.
The cypress core bar is steeped in a chemical preservative before it is
placed in the U-Bar.
The galvanized steel U-Bar completely protects the core bar from the
inside moisture of the house.
The drip does not drip. It follows down the bottom of the U-Bar to
the purlin lead-ofifs, or to the cast iron sill. No drip grooves to get
stopped up.
Then there's the curved eave — everybody knows the U-Bar curved
eave was the original curved eave. It is admitted to be the mott practi-
cal and attractive of all the curved eaves.
No reinforcements of the curved parts of the U-Bar are needed — no
heavy iron members to break the view from the inside looking out, or
show a heavy line from the outside, looking in.
There's only one U-Bar curved eave and that's the eave made with
the U-Bar.
Others may look like it, but that's the only way they are like it.
We tell you these things as a matter of protection to yourself. If you want
the finest greenhouse Eold today for private estates, public institutions or
florists' show houses — you want the U-Bar. See to it that you get it.
The Core Bar
It Is made of Cy-
press steeped in a
chemical preserva-
tive.
The U-Bar
It is made of steel,
heavily galvanized
and then aluminum
painted.

The Florists' Review
111
THE WOOD that LASTS
shall be FIRST
with Good Nurserymen who also are
Good BUSINESSMEN.
CYFBESS is the one Greenhouse wood that is too busy on the job of LASTING to do any rotting an
tinking." It is hardly worth while to say that it is "THE eternal standard of Greenhouse Wood" — s
and
"stinking." It is hardly worth while to say that it is "THE eternal standard of Greenhouse Wood" — as
everybody knows it, in the profession and outside the profession of greenhousemen. Even contractors
who use a cheaper "substitute" (because it is "cheaper") — they also know there is no wood grown that
will really "substitute" for CYPEESS in greenhouse construction. The word "substitute" is a synonym
for "inferior." The character of CYPEESS for ENDURANCE is as old as the human race; it is no new
discovery. CYPEESS was the "gopher wood" of the Bible; the mummies of ancient Egypt were encased
in Cypress caskets more than 5,000 years ago, and the caskets are sound today. The ancients called it the
"wood eternal." It is just that.
But there 's no use to talk about it, everybody KNOWS what CYPEESS is for greenhouse work. The
proposition resolves itself to this; AND NOTHING ELSE: —
IF YOU WANT A "CHEAP" GREENHOUSE, ONE THAT WILL SMELL OF ROTTING WOOD
AND WHOSE REPAIRS WILL EAT HOLES IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, HAVE IT BUILT OF A "SUB-
STITUTE" FOR CYPRESS; IF YOX^ WANT A GOOD GREENHOUSE, ONE THAT WILL LAST AND
SAVE YOU EXASPERATING REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT BILLS, HAVE NOTHING OF WOOD IN
IT BUT CLEAR, HEART CYPRESS. ("Pecky" for the benches, "clear" for the balance of the job, from
sills to sash.)
Make yourself free with our Cypress Pocket Library, it was printed for you. Vol. 1 treats of Cypress
in general, including the report of the U. S. Govt, on the uses to which the wood is adapted. Vol. 3 is
entitled "The Only Greenhouse Wood;" and Vol. 2 (almost ready) is very interesting to the profession, for
it treats of "Pecky" Cypress, the kind so much used for benches and standards. They are free for the
asking; get busy and ask.

FACTS
Q. Do you consider your mixed paint
superior to white lead and oil?
A, Yes.
Q. Why is it better?
A. Our paint is a zinc and lead combina-
tion and covers more surface than white lead .
and oil. The paint is more white. It covers
and protects cypress better than any other
paint. It does not chalk, peel or crack. It is
ready for use and perfectly made.
Q. Which is the tsheapest?
A. Our paint lasts longest and goes far-
thest. It is the cheapest in the end, and the
best all the time.
Q. What are your prices?
A. Per gallon, $2.00. In 20-gallon lots,
$1.90, and in barrels (52 gallons), $1.80. Put
up in 1-gallon cans, fi-gallon tubs and 62-
gallon barrels.

Apbil 3, 1913.
For APRIL 10 will have wide
SPECIAL INTEREST
as it will carry the full illustrated report of the great
exhibition of the S. A. F. that opens at New York April 5.
IT WILL BE THE
National Flower Show
Number
(The trade still remembers the National Flower Show Number of The Review published
at the time of the Boston Show— nothing like it ever has appeared, before or since.)
This fine issue will tell the whole story of the show (no use making more than
one bite of a cherry). It will have equal interest for those who attend the
show and for those who cannot go.
Advertisers reach the WHOLE trade through this issue, including the
STAY- AT- HOMES, who outnumber the exhibition-goers more than ten to one
and who buy more than ten times as many goods.
HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU NEED?
Send your advertisement to The Review BEFORE you start to the Show
Use a full page or a claesified, according to the quantity of stock you want
to sell ; but, whatever your space, BE EARLY. New advertisements or
changes of advertisements must be in The Review office, 508 So. Dearborn
Street, Chicago, at 5 p. m. Tuesday, April 8, to be in time.
REGULAR RATES— $30.00 buys a foil page— parts of pages in proportion

Reports from Dayton and Vicinity Still Indefinite, but
Wind and Water Inflict Heavy Damages Elsewhere
STORY of range demolition
A and plant devastation, probably
unprecedented in the trade,
cornea from the Miami valley
and adjacent country, follow-
ing the floods that spelled such
disastrous aftermath of a promising
Easter season. It was a costly sequel of
the western cyclone that laid to waste
greenhouses and plants valued at upwards
of $100,000. When all of the flood re-
ports are received, it is not unlikely that
the losses in the trade will aggregate sev-
eral hundred thousand dollars.
Out of Dayton and Columbus little en-
couraging news has been received and the
known losses among florists will require
a large financial consideration to replace.
At Fort Wayne, the firm of W. J. & M. S.
Vesey, alone, estimates its damage at
$70,000, and there were other ranges in
that vicinity that fell prey to the flood.
At Dayton several of the largest
ranges are known to have been inundated,
with tremendous loss to greenhouses and
plants, and from Hamilton, Troy, Colum-
bus and other points come advices of
similar destruction. At Toledo the wind
played the greatest havoc and broken
glass was the principal result. From all
over the stricken territory come reports
of varying losses, flhowing that the extent
of the damage to the trade was not con-
fined to the flood area.
The Cleveland Florists' Club, which
has been investigating the extent of the
flood's work on the ranges in the valley,
announces that it finds a great amount of
distress among growers and offers to act
as ge-between for those who have plants
which they feel they can spare and are
willingr to donate to the affected trade.
Additional details of the cyclone at
Omaha increase the first reports of dam-
age sustained in that section.
First Miami Valley Reports.
News of how florists fared in the
path of the flood in the great Miami
valley is only a matter of conjecture,
writes the Cincinnati correspondent of
The Review. Hamilton, O., is the only
city in the path of the rushing water
from which definite information has
been obtained. C. E. Critchell, who
went there March 27, said that the
range of J. Lodder & Sons was com-
pletely wiped out. Theodore Bock's
greenhouses were not badly damaged.
It is probable, says the correspondent,
that Jos. R. Goldman's plant at Mid-
dletown, O., is safe because it stands
on higher ground.
Probably the only greenhouse estab-
lishments in Dayton that are left are
those of John Boehmer, H. H. Ritter,
Horlacher and possibly J. B. Heiss Co.,
HELP THOSE IN NEED.
The loss to florists throughout the
state of Ohio on account of the flood
must be heavy. Government, state
and city officials, as well as societies
and individuals, are doing their ut-
most at present to relieve suffering,
and their work probably will have
been accomplished by the time this
is in print. A plan to give growers
who have lost their entire stock by
the high water a chance to again
get on their feet should be put in
force at once.
Reports from the flooded district
are coming in slowly. We have not
heard just how badly florists were
damaged, but there are bound* to be
many large losses, and growers who
went through the storms and floods
unscathed should lend a hand at once
to help their more unfortunate
brothers.
The Cleveland Florists' Club
stands ready to do its share. We
would act as "go-between." Let
all growers who have lost their stock
send us their names; have your cor-
respondents in Ohio cities send us
the names of those needing help,
with a list of stock they grow. Then
let the growers who have stock to
give send their names with the stock
they have to donate. At this season
of the year, there are many grow-
ers who have supplies of geraniums,
roses, mums, carnations, etc., that
would be acceptable to those who
have lost their all.
The list of those who can help in
this cause need not be limited to
the state of Ohio. There are grow-
ers all through this country who
would gladly respond with gifts of
stock if the need for such donation
was brought to their notice.
The Cleveland Florists' Club,
By Frank A. Friedley, Sec'y.
the correspondent writes. They all
stand on points higher than the city.
The chances are that the ranges of the
Miami Floral Co. and W. G. Matthews
were wrecked, if not completely de-
stroyed. Both stood on the banks of
the river and were probably directly in
the path of the current. When the
Miami river rose during former spring
freshets, the water has been known
to go up close to the doors of the
Miami Floral Co.
The greenhouses of Henry Fleeter
and Edward Santo, in Cumminsville,
O., are inundated. It is said that they
succeeded in getting nearly all of their
plants to safety ahead of the flood.
Warren G. Matthews, one of Day-
ton's leaders in the trade, is reported
to be suffering a mental collapse ' and
to be conflned in a hospital as a result
of his experiences during the flood. He
is said to have suffered extreme hard-
ships in saving his life when he and
his son, Walter G. Matthews, who is
associated with him in business, were
ro^(•!o<l from a tree. Both were at
first reported to have been drowned.
Their stores at 16 West Third street
and 32 South Main street were both
in the flooded area. Advices about the
effect of the storm at the Matthews
greenhouses have not been received
yet.
Losses at Coliunbus.
The trade was hard hit by the flood
and business is completely at a stand-
still at Columbus, O., according to a
letter received April 2, which was the
first to come through from that city
giving anything like accurate details
of greenhouse and plant losses.
Sherman Stephen had a heavy loss at
the east plant, as the water was in
the houses about five feet. Mud and
other filth washed in over the stock.
His yard was flooded, trees uprooted
and some even carried away. Several
bodies were found in the neighborhood
and a great many people were rescued
at that point.
Bob Buehler was reported drowned,
but he showed up later. Charles Bueh-
ler was in the midst of the flooded
area and has lost about everything in
the way of stock and household goods.
Wm. Brust also lost everything at
his store. Nothing was left of his place
but the foundation, and John Brust,
his father, also lost all of his stock and
goods.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had two
feet of water in the boiler shed, but
no damage was inflicted beyond wash-
ing out some beds of pansies, etc.
The Riverside Floral Co. suffered con-
siderable damage.
From Barberton, O., comes the re-
port that the big new range of O. C.
Barber was flooded. The amount of
damage has not been estimated, but it
is large.
W. P. & L. C. McFarland, of Akron,
0., write that outside of boiler pits
being flooded no extensive damage was
done the florists there. They will have
to replant sweet peas, which are two
and one-half feet under water.
No greenhouses at Zanesville, O.,
were damaged, as they are all on high-

er ground than the water reached. The
store of the Imlay Co. was in the flood
district. The loss has not been deter-
mined. Two vegetable greenhouses
about five miles south of town, on the
river bank, have not been heard from.
It is feared they are badly damaged,
for they are in a place where the river
is naturally swift.
The great Peters & Reed pottery at
Zanesville is on safe ground. The A. E.
Tile Works, the largest in the world,
has water up to its second story. All
the other potteries are more or less
affected.
Anxious About Chillicothe.
Advices received in Chicago from
Columbus relative to flood conditions
at Chillicothe are uncertain in their
mention of possible damage to growers.
The first letter that came through
from Columbus to a Chicago florist
stated that the water had risen to a
height of seven feet in Paint street,
the main thoroughfare of Chillicothe,
dwelling. The packing house and part
of the dwelling burned Friday night.
In the packing house were 4,500 orchids,
which were lost in the fire, together
with three horses, two automobiles and
all books and supplies. Fire was not
started in the boilers until March 30.
Mr. Vesey believes he can save most
of the rose stock. He expressed the be-
lief that other losses at Fort Wayne
were comparatively light.
In spite of efforts made all night
to fight the incoming flood at the Flick
houses on Thompson avenue, the water
put out the fires and destroyed several
of the greenhouses. The 'residence is
situated on a knoll of ground near the
houses and water surrounded it, so that
the inmates had to call for boats to
be removed. At last report, the water
was within eight feet of the house
itself and still rising. A new touring
car and an electric car were lost. The
damage to the Flick greenhouses can-
not be estimated yet.
Hans Jenien, Omaha, Standing on the Ruins of his Greenhouses.
and that the growers are located on
the lowest land along the river. With
a depth of seven feet in Paint street,
it is feared that the water reached a
depth of twenty feet at the green-
houses, which, of course, would spell
destruction to houses and stock. The
leading growers in that vicinity are
Louis Elsass, proprietor of the Mc-
Eellar Greenhouses, and Chas. A. John-
son, of the Chillicothe Floral Co. No
word has been received from these
sources about the extent of losses, if
any.
Heavy Losses at Fort Wayne.
The damage to greenhouses at Fort
Wayne, Ind., will reach many thousands
of dollars. The thirty-two houses of
W. J. & M. S. Vesey were practically
all under water, although by supreme
effort most of the orchid plants, the
most valuable stock in the range, were
saved. The condition of the houses
of the Flick Floral Co. is no better.
W. J. Vesey, Jr., writes that the
firm's loss is estimated at $70,000. The
water started to rise at Fort Wayne
at 2 a. m. March 25 and in three hours
the river rose eight feet. Its rise was
so swift there was no time to save any-
thing. On the following day, a boat
was secured and the force worked two
days and a night, removing orchids to
the packing room and the cellar of the
No advices from other florists have
been received up to this time.
More Damage in Indiana.
J. A. Newby's greenhouses at
Logansport, Ind., were under water
to the gutters, all stock being sub-
merged, but being under water during
the cold days prevented it from being
frozen. Of course, all tender stock
was lost, and the damage in a general
way amounts to considerable.
Mrs. O. G. McCormick's greenhouses
at Logansport suffered in the same
way, having from six to eight feet
of water. At last reports it was not
all out and everything in the houses
was covered with mud.
William Miller's greenhouses at
Peru, Ind., were under water and dur-
ing the cold snap a great deal of the
stock was saved because it was pro-
tected in this way. The mud and
general filth left by the flood worked
considerable damage.
The greenhouses of J. W. Bentz &
Son, at Peru, are reported to have
fared even worse, although details are
not deflnite yet.
Flood conditions had disastrous ef-
fect upon business at Marion, Ind.,
during the Easter season; in fact, little
thought was given to business in gen-
eral, all devoting their time to re-
lieving the unfortunate. At Stoebe's
the force was kept busy night and day
pumping water from the boiler pit and
caring for the stock, there being about
eighteen inches of water in the houses.
At present the stock does not show
the hardship through which it has gone.
The Marion Floral Co. lost considerable
glass by wind and hail, but was for-
tunate in losing comparatively little
stock. Little trouble was experienced
with water. All shipping orders were
returned by the express companies.
No loss is reported by florists at
Lafayette, Ind. The Wabash river
reached the 33 foot stage, the highest
in the history of the city. The only
damage was along the river and the
lowlands. F. Dorner & Sons Co. and
Herman Roth are both located high
above the flood level and had no loss.
Train service is only partially restored.
Only Glass Losses at Toledo.
Greenhouses in the vicinity of
Toledo, Ohio, suffered considerable
damage, but the losses seem to be
slight compared with those that have
been sustained in other sections. The
principal damage was confined to
broken glass.
Peter J. Jacobs was the heaviest
loser, nearly all of his glass being
demolished.
Emil A. Kuhnke reported a loss of
about $500.
J. L. Schiller reported a lot of glass
broken and Mr. Fischer, at Woodlawn,
was a heavy loser in this respect.
The Perennial Gardens Co. suffered
heavy loss, nearly all of its glass going
in the storm. It had to keep pumps
going night and day to keep "water out
of the boiler pit.
F. A. Imoberstag had considerable
trouble during the flood to keep fires
going.
A. L. Thomas, the only florist at
Troy, Ohio, lost nearly everything.
Conditions there and in Dayton are re-

as being almost indescribable,
George D. Leedle reports that all
flower stocks at Springfield, Ohio, are
unharmed, suffering no effects of the
flood and storm. Mail and express are
going forward promptly.
Storm's Bavages in Illinois.
The greenhouses of W. G. Thomas &
Son, at Sheffield, 111., were demolished
by the storm Easter Sunday night.
Everything went down before the wind,
€ven the cement wall on the south side,
and a big brick chimney and the boiler
house on the northeast side. The junior
member of the firm had a narrow
escape as he was sleeping in the fur-
nace house, which was almost entirely
crushed by the falling chimney, the
corner in which he lay alone remaining
untouched. They were hard hit, for
their greenhouses represented years of
hard work and saving.
One house was put up last fall, and
the others two years ago. The firm
tore down its old houses and put up
others by the new model. They were
all filled with carnations, roses and
spring stock, all of which are a com-
plete loss, except some plants in pots,
which were removed to neighboring
cellars. Already a new house is under
construction, to put these plants in.
Thomas & Son say that if any of
the florists have rooted cuttings or
stock plants they could spare, they
would be very thankful for them. The
dwelling house was badly damaged and
a large number of fruit trees were
blown down.
The greenhouses of Hagge Bros, at
Deerfield, 111., were totally destrpyed
by the storm, entailing a loss of $1,000
with no insurance.
Storm Details from Omaha.
The 125-mile-an-hour cyclone, which
destroyed the two large greenhouses of
J. F. Wilcox & Sons at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, March 23, entailing a loss there
of $75,000, left its trail of destruction
to the trade in Omaha, also. L. H. Hen-
derson's greenhouses in South Omaha
would have been directly in its path,
but before reaching Henderadn's range
the twister parted. One funnel struck
out east across the river towards Lake
Manaug, where it destroyed the summer
resorts and the Wilcox greenhouses.
Mr. Eice, an old-time nurseryman, and
his wife were killed at Council Bluffs.
The other funnel took a more north-
easterly course, striking between For-
tieth and Fiftieth streets, on Center
and Leavenworth streets, Omaha, bare-
ly missing S. K. Faulkner's range, but
striking that of Hans Jensen, at Forty-
ninth and Leavenworth, and wiping it
out. The residence, greenhouse office
and greenhouses were a total loss, the
damage amounting to $5,000. Mr. Jen-
sen and his family took refuge before
the blow in the basement, where he was
buried under a pile of cement blocks.
He recovered soon after his rescue, and
now only a few scratches on his face
remain as evidence of his experience.
Joslin's conservatory was a total loss
except for a few cactus which Mr.
Roman managed to save out of a $10,-
000 collection. Paul Floth 's loss reached
about $600, about 1,500 feet of glass
being broken, and the loss of Louis
Henderson was about $100. The older
Wilcox plant at Council Bluffs, and the
other florists there, were out of the path
of the storm. The Wilcox business
went on without interruption as soon
as train and wire service were reestab-
lished.
Wind Plays Peculiar Pranks.
A peculiar freak of the wind created
havoc with the greenhouses of the
Elmwood Cemetery Corporation, Bir-
mingham, Ala., unroofing most of them
and destroying many plants. The en-
gine room is located in the rear of one
of the houses. When the wind reached
its height the back door of the engine
room was wrenched open and the roof
of the room was lifted and blown across
the green for 200 feet. It was only
stopped in its flight by two tall trees
in front of the greenhouses, where it
collapsed into a mass of wreckage.
Easter profits were wiped out at the
greenhouses of George Souster at Elgin,
111., when the wind lifted the sashes
from some of the frames and dashed
several hundred panes of glass into
fragments. No flowers were damaged.
Repairs were made immediately.
About 100 lights of double strength
glass were blown out and broken into
bits at the greenhouses of A. J. Wag-
oner, west of Columbia City, Ind. The
houses withstood the heavy wind storm.
Fred Hawkins reports that one of
his greenhouses at I'aulding, O., was
blown down during the storm, but he
declares that he is feeling thankful for
getting off as easily as he did, after
learning of damage reports from other
cities.
Florists at Kokomo, Ind., were not
damaged by the flood. Two places were
threatened with water in the boiler
room, but a few hours' extra work at
night was all that was required to
keep it out. The city water plant
was out of commission for four days
and other arrangements had to be made
to get water into the boilers. Stock
accumulated at the wholesale places
because, for nearly a week, there was
no way to ship out of town.
West Chester, Pa. — Thomas McCay,
formery located on West Market street,

The adjourned meeting of the Society
of American Florists will be held in
the lecture room in the New Grand

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.
On account of the flooded condition
of a large territory around Indianapo-
lis, which is making mail deliveries un-
certain and in some directions impos-
sible, it would be well for all those
who are entering the competition in
the carnation classes at New York to
bring a list of their entries along to
the show with them. Your entries may
reach me here, and if they do I will
have your entry cards made out, but
should they not reach me, it would be
a great help if you have a list with
you.
Please note that Sections A, B, C,
D, G and classes 43 and 45 will stage
April 8. Classes 42, 44, 46, 47 and 48
will be staged April 10. Through an
error in printing the schedule for the
entire show, classes 43 and 45 were
included with the April 10 staging. Our
classes 43 and 45 appear as classes 441
and 443 in the National Flower Show
schedule. Entries in Section E may
be staged at any time during the car-
nation show.
We are planning to leave Indianapo-
lis Saturday evening, April 5, and ex-

NEW YORKERS PLEASE WRITE.
I have just been advised by Wm.
F. Kasting that the bill authorizing an
appropriation of $60,000 for green-
houses at Cornell University, to be used
in experimental work in flowers and
vegetables, is likely to pass the senate.
On behalf of the legislative committee
of the New York Florists' Club, I
would urge every florist in the state
of New York to write to his senator
at once urging him to vote for the bill.
I would also urge them to write to His
Excellency, Governor Wm. Sulzer, Ex-
ecutive Mansion, Albany, urging that
he sign the bill. Stress should be laid
on the fact that the florists want this
appropriation, for the better develop-
ment of horticulture in the state of
New York, and that if the Empire State
is to hold her prestige as a flower
producer in competition with other
states, it is essential that this bill be
passed and become a law.

HUS HAS NEW SUPPORT.
A new carnation support, "an im-
provement designed to provide flower
benches or beds with simple and effect-
ive means for supporting the stems
during growth of the flowers, retaining
the stems straight and supporting the
bloom of the stems," has been invented
and patented by Peter Hus, formerly
connected with the Robert Craig Co.,
Philadelphia, and more recently of Red
Oak, Iowa. Mr. Hus is in Chicago de-
veloping his plans to manufacture hi»
patent, which, he claiins, will "ma-
terially help the growth of long-
stemmed plants flowering at their up-
per extremities, such as carnations."
Inexpensive and light construction will
be a feature which, he believes, will
commend his invention to the trade.
The patent certificate, briefly, de-
scribes it: "Pipe posts (1) arranged
within the greenhouse along the outer
edges of the flower boxes (2) or beds
and secured to the floor in any desired
manner, will be equipped with a plu-
rality of resilient clips (3) adapted to
surround the posts and at the same
time retain hooks (7) in proper posi-
tions to engage the longitudinally ex-
tending end wires (8) of flower sup-
porting frames (9 and 10), made of
lighter wires meshed and spaced to pro-
vide openings of various sizes to accom-
modate the stalks or stems, also vary-
ing in sizes. As many frames as de-
sired may be used, in tiers, the accom-
panying drawing showing two. ' '
Speaking of his improvement, Mr.
Hus said: "I have provided a simple,-
cheap and effective support for training-
flowers in vertical position, one which
will prevent the falling or breaking of
plants and which, also, will support thfr
flowers of the plants. The device wiU
be constructed from metal and will not
be susceptible to the moisture or cli-
matic changes of the greenhouse. By
constructing the end members of the-
support frames of heavy wires tho
frame will be rendered strong and pre-
vented from breaking."
St. Peter, Minn. — S. C. Smith has
sold his greenhouses to G. H. Towley,^
and, with his family, has moved to-
Rock Island, 111., where lie will make
his home. Mr. Towley has taken pos-
session and is arranging to place aa
experienced manager in charge.

CHICAGO'S SECOND ^
SPRING EXHIBITION
EDUCATING THE PUBLIC.
Show an Artistic Success.
The Horticultural Society of Chicago
is this week distributing its surplus
in giving to the Chicago public what
is practically a free exhibition of great-
er magnitude than any other spring
show ever held in the west, and prob-
ably the largest spring show ever held
in the United States, with the single
exception of the National Flower Show
held at Boston two years ago. It is
Chicago's second attempt at a spring
exhibition. The quantity of stock shows
a considerable increase over that of a
year ago, although the number of ex-
hibitors is not materially increased.
Finer stock it would be difficult to
imagine. The two big rose groups are^
magnificent, and Frank Oechslin staged
a group of hard-wooded flowering plants
the like of which has never been seen
in the west. Some twenty varieties are
included. Fritz Bahr sJso put up a
group of hard-wooded blooming plants
of the commercial sizes, but including
many varieties which, to quote Mr.
Bahr, "are not" seen as frequently as
they should be." In addition to these,
Mount Greenwood Cemetery has a
group of geraniums, antirrhinums and
sweet peas grown in tubs and trained
on balloon-shaped trellises that is nota-
ble. The private gardeners are partici-
pating in the show to a greater extent
than ever before and for the benefit
of the society reporters for the daily
papers the names of the employers only
are used, so that one may read in the
morning papers how A. B. Dick, E. G.
Uihlein, Kenneth Barnhart, N. W. Har-
ris, Louis F. Swift and other million-
aires are capturing the blue ribbons.
The magnanimity of the society in
giving a practically free exhibition was
not wholly intentional; rather, it was
spontaneous. The Art Institute is a
splendid place for a flower show, but ^
five days ' show never can be held there
except with two days on which no ad-
mission can be charged. This time it
was discovered on the eve of the show
that a week had been selected in which
the institute had three free days out
of the five. On the opening day the
attendance exceeded 5,000 and on the
second day it was even greater.
The blooming plants and the roses
were staged April 1. April 3 the car-
nations are to be staged, as well as a
general display of cut roses, the sweet
pea classes and the classes for miscel-
laneous cut flowers. At the hour of
going to press the indications are for a
first-class showing of carnations, as en-
tries have been received from Mount
Greenwood Cemetery Association, Wie-
tor Bros., Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago
Carnation Co., C. C. Pollworth Co. and
the E. 6. Hill Co.
Betailers' Displays.
While all the visitors want to see
the exhibit with the blue ribbon on it,
there really is nothing which attracts
the public so much as the retailers' dis-
plays. This year the showing of cut
flower work is better than usual. The
Art Institute is admirably adapted to
this purpose. There are numerous
rooms, so that each exhibitor can have
a room all to himself and treat it as
he will. C. A. Samuelson, Schiller the
Florist, and E. Wienhoeber Co. each
were assigned a special room.
Mr. Samuelson 's exhibit was the most
elaborate of the lot. It consisted of
numerous baskets of blooming plants
and tables of smaller baskets and vases
of cut flowers, while in the corners of
the room were excellent groups of
blooming plants, one of rambler roses
and one of genistas. The showing in-
variably provoked an exclamation of
pleasure from those who stepped within
the portals.
In the Schiller room a dozen or more
baskets of blooming plants were shown,
the arrangement of each being a credit
to the well-known skill of Miss Schiller
and her assistants.
The E. Wienhoeber Co., besides show-
ing several baskets and vases of cut
flowers, decorated one corner of its
room as for a wedding, with bank of
palms, kneeling stool, newel posts and
tall vases of Easter lilies.
At the head of the main stairway
John Mangel showed two handsome
sweet pea arrangements, one a large
handle basket and the other a big bou-
quet in one of the lace bouquet holders.
T. E. Waters, of Poehlmann Bros.
Co., also showed some baskets of roses,
arranged for effect, believing in help-
ing the retailers along.
Cut Roses.
The display of cut roses was one of
the best which has been seen at Chi-
cago. Not one vase was staged that
was not worthy of a premium; better
general average quality would be hard
to obtain. The competition was so
close that the premiums were pretty
evenly distributed among the four prin-
cipal exhibitors. It was an interesting
feature that a new exhibitor of cut
roses should carry off first premium for
both Killarney and White Killarney.
The Geo. Wittbold Co. always has ex-
hibited in plant and retail classes, but
never before in cut roses. Robert Hand
assumed charge of the Wittbold Kil-
larney houses last season and his success
was shown by his capturing two first
premiums in competition with three of
the largest and best growers for the
local market.
The only rose novelty on exhibition
was Milady, from A. N. Pierson, Crom-
well, Conn., which had traveled well.
The awards in the rose classes were
as follows:
Seventy -five American Beauties — Poehlmann
BroB. Co., first; Wletor Bros., second.
Seventy-five KUlarney — Geo. Wlttlwld Co.,
first: Poehlmann Bros. Co., second; Wendland &
Keimel, third.

Sose Plants.
The rose plants in bloom were the
hit of the show. Such fine quality
never before has been seen at Chicago.
Those who think of C. W. Johnson as
a chrysanthemum or carnation grower
should have seen the group of roses in
pots staged by Mount Greenwood Ceme-
tery. It contained approximately 180
plants, the greater part of them Doro-
thy Perkins, beautifully bloomed. The
first premium of $75 was wholly inade-
quate. The value of the exhibit was
many times the amount of the premium.
The awards in the rose plant classes
were:
Display of roses in pots — Mount Greenwood
Cemetery, first; Vaughan's Seed Store, second.
Ten hybrid perpetuals — Mount Greenwood Ceme-
tery, second; no first.
Six climbers or ramblers In three or more va-
rieties— Vaughan's Seod Store, first.
Specimen Crimson Rambler — Mount Greenwood
Cemetery, second; no first.
Specimen Tausendschon — Vaughan's Seed Store,
second; no first.
Specimen American Pillar — Vaughan's Seed
Store, second; no first.
Specimen Dorothy Perkins — Mount Greenwood
Cemetery, first; Vaughan's Seed Store, second.
Specimen Hiawatha— Vaughan's Seed Store,

tery, first; Vaughan's Seed Store, second.
Specimen any other climbing variety —
Vaughan's Seed Store, first.
Specimen plant any variety — Mount Greenwood
Cemetery, silver medal; Vaughan's Seed Store,
second.
Miscellaneous Flowering Plants.
Frank Oechslin was the principal ex-
hibitor of spring flowering pot plants,
but there were enough other exhibitors
so that in most of the classes he had
something of a run for the money. Sev-
eral of the private gardeners, while not
exhibiting in many classes, each had
splendid stock for those in which
they made entries. However, Mr.
Oechslin had done even better than
usual, not only iii number of entries but
in quality of the stock. His rhododen-
drons, azaleas and hydrangeas were
especially good. His group of hydran-
geas attracted the trade visitors. In
it two of the new, blue French hydran-
geas, Mme. A. Rivirian and Souv. de
Mme. Chantard, made strong contrast
with the pink of Otaksa. Several plants
of Schizanthus Wisetonensis, grown by
the private gardeners and entered in
these classes, were a step in advance
of anything previously seen at Chicago.
The awards in the miscellaneous flow-
ering plant classes were as follows:
Six anthurlums — Vaughan's Seed Store, first;
E. G. Uihlein, second.
Specimen anthurium — E. G. Uihlein. first.
Three azaleas — Frank Oechslin, first.

Bulbous Plants.
The bulbous plants were extremely
well done. Better hyacinths and tulips
have not been previously shown at
Chicago and the narcissi also were ex-
cellent. There were four principal ex-
hibitors in these classes and the compe-
tition was close. The awards were as
follows:
Three pans I.a Grandesse hyacinth — Frank
Oechslin, first; August Jurgens, second; Vaugh-
an'rf Seed Store, third.
Three pans any single white hyacinth — Frank
Oechslin, first; August Jurgens, second.

Noncompetitive Exhibits.
Metairie Bidge Nursery, New Orleans,
sent fifty pots of Easter lilies, grown
from bulbs produced in Louisiana. It
was fine, clean stock, well flowered and
of good even height.
Winterson's Seed Store had the posi-
tion of honor at the foot of the main
stairway for two groups not for com-
petition, containing bay trees, boxwood,
magnolias, Phoenix R<Ebelenii, etc. The
same exhibitor also supplied a nnmber
of bay trees for decorative effect about
the building.
Vaughan's Seed Store exhibited a
new vivid red canna, labeled Fire Bird,
of which Carl Cropp thinks highly. The

Charles X, but they far outdistance the
old variety in point of size and inten-
sity of the lilac hue. The trusses, too,
are of great size.
My notes usually finish in the minor
key and the present is no exception.
British rosarians especially, but rosar-
ians the world over, have now to mourn
the loss of William Cocker, senior part-

SOUTHERN DAFFS AT NEW YORK.
Southern daffodils were a drug in
the New York market last week. One
commission house, A. L. Young & Co.,
received a lot of forty boxes which
were in an unsalable condition. Mr.
Young began giving them away to
passing children and soon disposed of
the entire lot, but in doing so he
almost created a riot. Grown-ups as
well as children scrambled for the
flowers. He figures that he saved
money by giving them away, as other-
wise he would have been compelled
to pay the garbage man to cart them
away. The Review man saw one lot
of about fifteen boxes of southern daf-
fodils and fifteen boxes of violets all
billed as "wagon load of flowers, $10,"
and it seemed to him that the buyer
had the worst of it at that.
In some cases the first notice that
the commission man had of a shipment
of southern daffodils was the presenta-
tion of a bill for express charges on
from twenty to forty boxes. Several
dealers declined to receive them at all.
They said that it seemed unlikely that
the flowers would bring enough to pay
express charges, and, even if they did
sell, they would come into competition
with the produce of local growers who
were their regular consignors and with
whom they had close and cordial busi-
ness relations. Rather than do any-
thing that might injure their regular
consignors, they would forego the
handling of flowers sent in this casual
way, without notice, from people whom
they had never heard or.
DISEASED VINCAS.
We are sending you today under sep-
arate cover several plants of Vinca
variegata which are diseased. This
trouble has been present since January
1; prior to that time the plants were
in a splendid growing condition. Small
black spots were noticed about that
time around the edges of the leaves;
these spots spread finally around the
entire edge and then the leaves dropped
off. The plants have been gone over
several times and cleaned of all dis-
eased leaves, but when new leaves
grow the trouble again appears.
Samples of the diseased plants have been
sent to the Experiment Station, but
the disease could not be identified there.
No sign of a fungus or of bacteria has
been discovered. We have sprayed sev-
eral times with Bordeaux, but this
does not stop the spots from appearing.
We thought the trouble might originate
in the soil, but the same spot appears oa
our vinca cuttings grown in pure sand.
The plants are growing in houses where
geraniums are the principal crop
handled. As we have several thousand
of these vincas, we are anxious to find
some remedy, if possible, before the
new buds break. We have decided to
repot several hundred plants in fresh
soil, first washing all the old soil from
the roots. Any suggestion you can
make will be appreciated. R. B.
This particular disease is new to me.
Any I have had acquaintance with
were of a fungoid nature and were
fairly easily controlled. I think your
plan of shaking away all the soil and
washing the roots prior to repotting is
a good one. I would also suggest cutting
back both the tops and roots well be-
fore repotting. Give a little shade until
they become established, then full sun-

shine. Use rather small pots, so that
the plants will sooner root around them.
This will probably spoil your plans for
summer sales, but they should be all
right to plant out in the field for stock.

NEW YORK.
The Market.
Readers of Dickens will recall that
Mrs. Sairey Gamp's friend said of Mrs.
'Arris, "There ain't no sich pusson. "
Well, that's the way with the New
York market the week after Easter —
"there ain't no market." The com-
mission man asked as much for his
flowers as he dared, and accepted, more
or less gratefully, anything that the
buyer chose to offer. And there were
so few buyers and so many flowers that
no man might say with assurance:
"These flowers will bring so much."
Beauties sold at 75 cents for specials
on the Saturday before Easter; on
Saturday, March 29, fine long specials
sold as low as 15 cents each,
though in small lots 20 cents was
paid. In fact, the bright sunshine
brought in a large crop of fine flowers,
the receipts of this grade for the week
being two or three times the receipts
for the preceding week. But few lower
g^ade Beauties were received. Brides
and Maids sold as low as 50 cents
per hundred, the top price being $5
per hundred. The same quotations ap-
ply to Killarneys, Marylands, Sun-
bursts, Bichmonds and Lady Hilling-
dons. Bulgaries were in good condi-
tion and brought from 50 cents to $6
per hundred. Chatenays were not so
plentiful, bringing $1 to $10 per hun-
dred.
Schroedera; continue plentiful at 10
to 25 cents. Trianas and other dark
cattleyas are scarce and firm at .35
and 50 cents. Dendrobiums and other
spray orchids are dull at 5 cents a
flower; they seem to have lost their
vogue. Carnations are plentiful at $2
and under. Lilies are quoted at 4 and
6 cents, but with no sales of conse-
quence. Callas are quoted nominally at
50 cents to $1.50 a dozen. Sweet peas
share in the general dullness. Violets
are plentiful and of the poorest qual-
ity; hundreds of thousands have
reached the market in an unsalable
condition. Narcissi are plentiful and
cheap, though Paper Whites are becom-
ing scarce. Hyacinths bring from 50
cents per hundred up. Daffodils are
quoted at 30 cents to $1.50 for local
flowers. Heavy shipments of southern
grown daffodils have flooded the mar-
ket. Many of these were received in
poor condition and had to be thrown
into the garbage can. Even those that
were salable brought low prices — in
many cases not enough to pay express
charges. Tulips hang heavy on the
hands of the dealers, who, in order
to clean up, have accepted as low as
30 cents per hundred for fine double
flowers. Valley held up fairly well in
the general slump, 4 cents being the
top-notch price until Saturday, when a
cut to 3 cents was made by the stiffest
seller in the market. This price was
for the choicest hard flowers, with long
stems; for lower grades correspond-
ingly lower prices prevailed.
Various Notes.
W. A. Sperling, secretary of the
Stumpp & Walter Co., sailed recently
on the Baltic for a three months' trip
to Europe on behalf of his house. He
will spend most of his time in Hol-
land, France and England.
Mr. Myer, the Madison avenue florist,
has received many expressions of sym-
pathy from his friends in the trade
in the loss of his mother, who died
on Easter eve at her residence, 208
East Fifty-eighth street. She is sur-
vived by her husband, three daughters
and three sons.
C. A. Dards cleaned up all save a
few plants at Easter and afterward
made a clean sweep of these, selling
to advantage in a lump. The conse-
quence was that his store had a fresh-
inviting appearance this we^k, in de-
lightful contrast to the bedraggled,
faded appearance of some of the stores,
which carried over just enough stock
to give a second-hand look to the
establishment. Mr. Dards believes
firmly in the possibilities for profit
which lie in the securing of orders for
out-of-town delivery. He has filled
orders for delivery in different parts
of Europe through his European cor-
respondents, in almost every section
of the United States and even in
Egypt. This is a branch that can bo
built by advertising.
H. Warendorff — the one on Madison
avenue, for there are Warendorffs scat-
tered all over New York in the florists'
business — has in his window some ex-
ceedingly attractive dollar boxes of
cut flowers. These go well and enable
him to meet department store competi-
tion without demoralizing his regular
prices.
John S. Nicholas, 37 East Forty-
second street, expects to have his new
store in the Grand Central station open
for the visitors to the International
Flower Show. The store is to the east
of the main entrance of the station,
with a frontage on Forty-second street
of forty-five feet and on the main
corridor of fifty feet. This frontage
is filled in with five enormous show
windows. The fittings are to be of
marble, glass and metal throughout.
Wood will not show anywhere. The
center of the store will be occupied
by a marble and glass ice-box ten feet
wide by twenty-five feet deep and nine
feet high. The counters and display
stands for fruits, for Mr. Nicholas
will handle fruits as well as flowers,
will be of white marble. The store is
to be fitted up in the most lavish man-
ner and will probably be the handsom-
est store in the L^nited States. This"
store will be in charge of Mr. Nicholas '
son, M. J. Nicholas, who has just left
Cornell University. The store at No.
37 will be continued, both stores being
under the general supervision of the
elder Mr. Nicholas.
N. A. Naldrett, of Langport, Eng-
land, arrived recently and will spend
several months calling on the trade
in the United States and Canada on
behalf of Kelway & Son, the seed
growers. His local address is 17 State
street, New York, care of Thomas
Meadows & Co.

were so heavy as to impose a severe
task on their delivery service.
Miss Golden, who has opened a store
on Fulton street, near Green avenue,
Brooklyn, was for several years with
Robert G. Wilson, on Green avenue.
Simpson, Crawford & Co., of the
Sixth avenue department store, have

department.
Thomas Roland, of Nahant, Mass.,
visited the trade this week.
H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, arrived

trip.
Mrs. Roget. the aunt of William G.
Badgley, of Badgley, Biedel & Meyer,
died of apoplexy at her home in Sum-
mit, N. J., last week.
W. Wells, of Merstham, Surrey, Eng-
land, arrived on the Mauretania and
had a long session at the Prince George
hotel with his American representa-
tive, Charles H. Totty, and a group
of friends on Sunday evening.
R. G. Wilson, of Brooklyn, has beep
awarded the privilege of selling flx)wer8
to the patrons of the International

Excellent publicity work is bein^-
done on behalf of the International
Flower Show in the daily papers. The
Sunday Herald had a clever story, with
illustrations of orchids, etc., which oc-
cupied nearly a page.
Wertheimer Bros, have arranged for
new quarters a few steps from Madi-
son Square park and the subway.
Largely increased space will afford the
firm facilities for caring for increasing
business. The building is absolutely
fireproof, the floors being of cement
with sprinkler equipment. The fixtures
will be of mahogany and several large
sales offices will be provided for the re-
ception of buyers. Six elevators will
afford continual rapid service. The
lighting arrangements are perfect, large
windows being on all sides; artificial
lighting is of the indirect system from
bowl-shaped globes. In short, every
modern convenienpe has been provided.
The new home will be occupied about
July 1.
PITTSBUBGH, PA.
The Market.
As my Easter notes miscarried on
account of the flood, a word about
Easter and its aftermath will not be
amiss. Pittsburgh was favored with
good weather Good Friday and Satur-
day, just the right kind to encourage
people to come out, and the result was
that the retailers had their best Easter.
Plants had an unprecedented sale and
cut flowers held up their end. There
were never better flowers, for Easter
roses locally came in just right. Every-
thing else was equally good. Beauties
were not in evidence and no one asked
for them. The other roses were so fine
they were not needed.
The one great disappointment was
violets, which were good before Easter,
but, owing probably to the warm weath-
er, were affected in the shipping. It is
safe to say that out of hundreds of
thousands of violets there was not one
really good bunch. The result was con-
siderable dissatisfaction, but it stim-
ulated a phenomenal run in orchids,
the sales being unprecedented in this
city. Bulbous stock arrived in immense
quantities. For some unknown reason
there is never any special demand
among the best trade for this stock for
Easter. It was disposed of at some

price, however. There was also a quan-
tity of shaky lilac in the wholesale
houses, which did not find sale. Lilies
were good and the supply was not up
to the demand.
The week after Easter was rather a
peculiar one and trade was good until
the storm put us out of business. The
railroads were tied up the latter half
of the week and shipping was out of
the question, but the stock was all
moved out at some price.
Taking the month as a whole, it was
quite satisfactory, notwithstanding the
loss during the flood week.
Various Notes.
J. W. Glenn, of Kittanning, Pa., was
in the city and could not get home for
two days. His store, which was in the
flood district, contained about three
feet of water.
Arthur Langhans, of "Wheeling, W.
Va., lives on the island and was flooded
out of his home, but they are used to
that there and do not mind it much.
Some southern daffodils have been
sent in by parcel post, but this plan
is not a success, as the boxes take up
the dampness and get badly mashed.
The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. duck
pin team again defeated the McCallum
Co. team March 28. The score will be
found under the head of Bowling, on
another page. Next week they will try
to defeat the J. B. Murdoch &; Co.
team.
George Marshall, of the Pittsburgh
Cut Flower Co., was away Saturday
and Monday on account of the death of
his grandfather, who died suddenly in
his eighty-second year.
The warm season is bringing shrub-
bery along rapidly. Willows and lilacs
are almost ft leaf and the early varie-
ties of magnolia are showing color.
All violet and Beauty shipments were
delayed last week on account of the
floods, being always a day late in com-
ing in. Clarke.
CINOINNATI.
Tlie Gateway to the South.
Cincinnati is flood-bound and abso-
lutely shut off from other parts of the
country by rail except to the south.
Except from Knoxville, Tenn., and
Maysville, Ky., there have been no flow-
ers shipped into this market since
March 24. Naturally, all local retail
business in every line but necessities is
practically at a standstill. The market
was, for the most of last week, well sup-
plied with everything needed, although
had there been any really active de-
mand stock would have run short.
Unless the water recedes so as to
give the local wholesalers a chance to
get their cut ferns out of storage across
the river, or unless shipments of these
come in from outside, there is danger
of a fern famine in this market. Only
one wholesale firm has ferns stored
where they are accessible now.
Various Notes.
Wm. Spech is now a proud granddad.
His daughter, Mrs. Ehlen, gave birth
to a baby boy March 24.
C. E. Critchell has been having a
nice supply of home-grown lilies.
During the flood the Cincinnati Cut
Flower Exchange is accommodating the
office force of a large wholesale grocery
concern whose establishment is in
water. Last week the Exchange had
from Bloomhurst Floral Co., at Lock-
land, and Hyde Park Rose Co. the great
bulk of the roses that were available
for use in this city.
Wm. Gardner came down from New
Castle March 24 and has been unable to
return. He has, however, managed to
get in touch with the greenhouses there
and says they are shipping to Indiana
points from New Castle. None of P. J.
dinger's stock had, up to the begin-
ning of this week, arrived for an en-
tire week.
E. G, Gillett's only shipments from
Monday until Saturday were from
Maysville, Ky.
L. H. Kyrk says that he has received
word from hia out-of-town consignors
to the effect that as soon as the rail-
roads are open again his stock will ar-
rive regularly. C. H. H.
DAYTON, O.
[The news-letter of which the fol-
lowing is a small part was post-marked
in Dayton March 24, but it did not
reach The Review until April 2. It
contained no word of threatening

can hardly be said of the Easter
tradl^ that it was a great improvement
over that of last year, for last year's
trade was exceptionally good; but it
can be said that this year's business
was every bit as good as last year's.
The first part of the week was rather
quiet, but as the end of the week came
the demand increased rapidly, until on
Saturday it was all the florists could
do to manage the crowds of customers.
Consequently everything cleaned up
nicely.
Gussie Ehlenbach, who was in Athens,
O., returned to Dayton in time to help
out with tho Easter rush. Mr. Ehlen-
bach brought back with him Mrs. Gus-
sie Ehlenba/jh, who was formerly Miss
Mabel Hill, of Athens. The young
couple were married at the home of
the bride's parents March 15.
Mrs. Joseph Bittner and son, Eugene,
left March 18 for Santa Barbara, Cal,,
where she will join Mr. Bittner, who
went there last September. Mr. Bitt-
ner was formerly associated with the
Miami Floral Co.
E. E. Schaefer tells us that he has
recently incorporated, with a capital
stock of $10,000. The firm will continue
under the firm name of the Advance
Floral Co.
W. G. Matthews, of the Dayton Flo-
ral Co., has been quite ill with the
grip, but owing to the Easter rush,
would not give up to go to bed.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Weather conditions during the last
week have been more like Decembe'r
than March. Nevertheless business has
been exceptionally good, all flowering
plants having been entirely cleaned
out. Violets continue to sell well.
Bulbous stock is not so plentiful, but
choice roses and carnations are arriving
in quantity. Sweet peas also are sell-
ing well.
Various Notes.
Andrew McCrea is back at his store.
He reports his Easter trade away ahead
of last year.
Alfred Osterman reports funeral
work exceptionally heavy last week.
The Elm City Nursery Co. has com-
menced digging and shipping orders.
Several carloads of stock have been
shipped this week, one carload going
to Plainville, Conn., where the firm is
executing extensive alterations in one
of the parks.
John N. Champion & Co. are still
conducting their branch store, where
they are doing good business. At their
Chapel street store they had a large
amount of funeral work, six pieces
being shipped out of town March 30.
"Not enough to go around," was
Alfred Nyren's complaint. His roses
are in full crop and he has to cut
close every day to fill his orders.

potted over 25,000 geraniums for his
Decoration day trade.
Charles Munro executed a unique
decoration in the lobby of Hotel Taift,
where he arranged a typical farmyard
scene, with live chickens and ducks.
The center was neatly turfed, with
little houses for the ducks and chickens,
and banked on either side with rhodo-
dendrons, genistas, roses and spiraeas,
most attractively set up, the reproduc-
tion making a hit with Easter visitors.
He filled a large funeral order March 30
for the late Mrs. Geo. B. Clark, Mil-
ford, Conn. He had charge of the
decorations for the Assembly of the
New Haven Lawn Club April 1.
The New Haven County Horticul-
tural Society held its meeting March
26, with President Howard P. Brooks
in the chair. The meeting was poorly
attended. The secretary read a letter
from Edward Jenkins, of Lenox, Mass.,
regretting his inability to be present.
However, the members took up and dis-
cussed Mr. Jenkins' subject, "Seed
Germination. ' '
John Siebold reports splendid Easter
trade, his stock of choice carnations,
violets and sweet peas being entirely
cleaned up.
S. H. Moore had large orders as
well as decorations for the Knights
of St. Patrick's dance, which was held
at Hotel Taft. The decorations were
composed chiefly of orchids, gardenias
and sweet peas. He also had charge of
the decorations at the Lambert-Irons
wedding. Here he used palms, sweet
peas and orchids. He reports having
had a big demand for flowering plants
and the usual large amount of funeral
work.
Henry W. Barnett, on Kimberly ave-
nue, specializes geraniums in a few
choice varieties, especially notable
among them being W. Cleary, scarlet;
Wm. Ewing, salmon pink, and a fine
seedling white. M. B. F.
WASHINGTON, D. 0.
All of the local florists are well satis-
fied with the volume of their Easter
business. The demand for cut flowers
and plants far exceeded that of last
year and most of the stores and mar-
ket stalls cleaned up well.
While delivering Easter packages a
chauffeur in the employ of Z. D. Blacki-
stone collided with a boy riding a bicy-

OBITUARY.
Theresia Paasch.
For a quarter of a century one of
Chicago's well known florists, Theresia
Paasch, wife of Christian Paasch, died
quite suddenly March 27. The funeral
was held Sunday, March 30, from the
home of a daughter, 1950 Roscoe boule-
vard, Chicago, and was largely at-
tended. There were many flowers.
Theresia Paasch was 52 years of
age. She was born at Vornditt, Ger-
many, where she married, coming to
America with her husband in 188.5,
twenty-eight years ago. They soon
started a flower store at what is now
1643 North Halsted street in Chicago,
where they were in business for over
twenty-five years, the firm becoming
Paasch & Szerlinsky. The business was
sold February 1, 1911, to John Stein-
metz, a former employee of the W. W.
Barnard Co., who is carrying it on
with increasing success. The Paaschs
also had a store for some years on
Clybourn avenue and once had green-
houses at May street and Lincoln ave-
nue. Mrs. Paasch for years was the
buyer, visiting the Chicago wholesale
houses. She leaves, with her husband,
two daughters and two grandsons.
William Haerle.
William Haerle, proprietor of the El
Reah Greenhouses, at Hollywood, Cal.,
died at the Clara Barton hospital
March 23, following an operation for
hernia. He was the son of a well
known dry goods merchant gt Indian-
apolis, Ind., and started in 'the flower
business only a few years' ago. He
bought some dilapidated old houses
that had been used for growing pines,
and replaced them with modern glass
on a fine piece of property in Holly-
wood. Of late he had grown roses only.
For a year or two he went into orchid
growing for cut flowers and also to
some extent into the growing of lilies,
azaleas and other market plants.
Mr. Haerle always had courage
enough to go ahead with anything he
undertook, and he grew good stock in
small quantities that always found a
ready market. Good-natured to a
fault, he had hosts of friends and his
death on Easter Sunday cast a gloom
over all. The sympathy of all is with
Mrs. Haerle, who had always been a
most devoted helpmate and had stood
by her late husband through sickness
and every other trouble. The funeral
took place March 27 and was attended
by a large number of friends. Mrs.
Haerle, it is said, intends to carry on
the business at Hollywood. H. R. B.
George Bosmarin.
George Rosmarin, a pioneer florist of
Alameda, Cal., died at his residence in'
that city on the morning of March 26,
at the age of 73 years. Death was
due to a general breakdown and was
probably hastened by sorrow over the
death of his wife, who passed away
three months ago. The deceased florist
had been a resident and business man
of Alameda for forty-two years, having
during that time conducted a large nur-
sery and flower establishment on Bay
street, near Encinal avenue. He came
to Alameda from San Mateo county,
where he settled forty-five years ago,
coming to California from Germany,
his birthplace. He was one of the ear-
liest residents of California to devote
his attention to the growing of plants
and flowers commercially, and his Ala-
meda nurseries supplied many of the
floral effects seen in San Francisccv
some years ago. Since the great fire
in San Francisco, he had gradually Cur-
tailed his business enterprises and for
the last two years he had not been
actively engaged in directing his nur-
sery interests. He is survived by two-
daughters, Mrs. Harry Rasmussen, of
San Francisco, and Mrs. James Fegan,
of Belvedere. The funeral, held March
28, was largely attended by the garden-
ing fraternity of the vicinity. G.
Mrs. J. W. Arnold.
Mrs. J. W. Arnold, of the firm of
J. W. & E. E. Arnold, at Omaha,.
Neb., died March 26, in her sixty-sixth
year, at her residence, 1418 North
Eighteenth street. She had been a
resident of Omaha for forty-five years
and was always prominent as a florist.
Her husband died a number of years
ago. She is survived by a son. Warden
Arnold, of Denver, and three daughters,
Mrs. E. W. Dowdall, Mrs. L. L. Raber
and Mildred Arnold, all of Omaha.
Alexander Innes.
Alexander Innes, aged 36, formerly
of Innes & McRae, Cheswick, Pa., died
of pneumonia at his home in New
Kensington, Pa. The funeral was held
from the residence of Mrs. McRae in
Cheswick.
Albert C. Luther.
Albert C. Luther, one of the oldest
gardeners in the state of Rhode Island,
died at his home in Bristol, March 11,
as a result of a shock brought on by
a bad fall sustained the previous week.
He was born at Warren, R. I., August
10, 1830. He is survived by three sons
and two daughters.
Otis P. Chapman, Jr.
Otis Pendleton Chapman, Jr., who-
had been in failing health for the last
two years, died March 24, at his home
in Westerly, R. I., in his thirty-eighth
year. He was born in Westerly, and,
after completing his public school
course, served as a clerk in the
grocery business, studying and growing
dahlias as a side line. Several years
ago he devoted his entire time to the
dahlia business and established the
Hillcrest Dahlia Gardens. He became
one of the best known growers and
dealers in New England. Mr. Chapman
was of an industrious nature, of genial
disposition and had a great many
friends. He had a faithful helpmate
in his wife, Mrs. Mabel Vose Chapman,
who was his almost constant companion
and who took an active interest in
the conduct of the business in which
Mr. Chapman was so successfully en-
gaged. Besides his widow, Mr. Chap-
man is survived by his parents and
a brother. W. H. M.
Alexander Broadfoot.
Alexander D. Broadfoot, 61 years of
age, a well known landscape gardener
of Washington, D. C, died recently in
the Providence hospital, after an illness
of six months, of a complication of dis-
eases. He was born in Dumfries, Scot-
land, and came to Washington when
quite young. In the early seventies
he obtained employment in the Botani-
cal Gardens, later going to the Depart-
ment of Public Grounds and Buildings.
He was instrumental in making many
of the local parks spots of beauty and

was devoted to his work. He was a
friend of the late William E. Smith and
was well known to many connected
with the trade, who deeply regret his
death. He is survived by a son, John
F. Broadfoot. C. L. L.
Joseph Bancroft.
Joseph Bancroft, founder of the firm
of Joseph Bancroft & Son, Cedar Palls,
la., died March 15, at the age of 86
years. For several years his health
had been failing, and during the last
few months he had needed a constant
attendant.
He was born in England and married
there in 1851, coming to America soon
after in the slow sailing vessel, De
Witt Clinton, which was making its
initial trip and took six weeks to cross
the Atlantic. He located first in Ohio,
but in 1855 made the overland journey
to Cedar Falls with his wife and two
small children. He endured the hard-
ships of pioneer life and bravely did
his part toward the advancement of
civilization. He always followed the
trade j)t florist and as his business in-
creased he associated with him his
younger son, George, under the firm
name of Bancroft & Son.
. Mr. Bancroft took particular pride
in bisriafUiation with the Blackhawk
County Old Settlers' Association and
proudly wore the badge with its date
of 1855. The children who survive are
two daughters and two sons, all resi-
dents of Cedar Falls, Mrs. Eliza Knick-
erbocker and Mrs. Mary B. Ford, J. W,
Bancroft and George H. Bancroft, and
there are five grandchildren, Will and
Mark Ford, Harold and Tim, sons of
John W. Bancroft, and the little
daughter of George Bancroft.
Carl E. Glenn.
Carl E. Glenn, secretary of the Amer-
ican Rose & Plant Co., in Springfield,
O., died suddenly in the afternoon of
March 20, just after having stepped
from the office into the greenhouse. He
fell to the floor and was dead before
any of the employees reached his side.
His death was due to apoplexy. Mr.
Glenn was a widower and roomed on
Grand avenue. He had lived in Spring-
field for a- number of years. Though
only 28 years old at the time of his
death, he had worked his way up from
the position of a laborer to that of
secretary of the concern. He was a
member of the K. of P. lodge. The
funeral was held from the residence of
his brother-in-law, C. R. Malowney, 367
East Madison avenue; Burial was in
Fernclifif cemetery.
Frank Williams.
Frank Williams, the proprietor of the
Atlas Floral Co., Chicago, died March
30 in a sanitarium at Kenilworth,
where he had been for many months.
The funeral will be held Thursday,
April 3, with interment at Oakwoods.
The deceased was born in Greece and
was 45 years of age. Coming to Amer-
ica and Chicago while a young man, he
adopted an American name and entered
the flower trade, practically his whole
life having been spent in retailing
flowers to the Chicago public. From a
humble beginning he worked up a large
business, prior to his illness being a
partner in the Alpha Floral Co. and
interested in other business ventures.
The management of the Atlas Floral
Co. never occupied much of his time,
being in the capable hands of Mrs.
Williams, who survives. There were no
childre*. 7 *
^ ; Frank Banning.
The man who claimed the credit for
having raised Gladiolus America, Frank
Banning, of Kinsman, O., ^ied March
17 as a result of a stroke of paralysis.
He was 55 years of age and had been
in poor health for a long time, not
being active in the business. It was
from Mr. Banning that John Lewis
Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y., acquired
the stock of Gladiolus America, which
he subsequently introduced. Other va-
rieties of note following America were
Panama and Niagara, which have re-
cently made some stir in the trade.
Francis Brill.
Francis Brill, widely known in the
trade as the pioneer of the cabbaee
seed industry of Long Island, died In
Joseph Bancroft.
the Hempstead Sanatorium, at Hemp-
stead, L. I., March 24, at the age of
76 years. In his youth he was em-
ployed in the old Bridgeman seed store,
at Broadway and Eighteenth street.
In 1859 he began Business for himself
as a seed grower at Newark, N. J. In
1870 he removed to Suffolk county, L.
I. In 1887 he established his headquar-
ters at Hempstead, where he continued
in active business until less than a year
ago. He was prominent in politics and
had represented Suffolk county in the
Assembly. He is survived by his wife,
one son and four daughters.
Miss Jane Eadie.
Miss Jane Eadie, who had been in
the florists' business at Cleveland for
thirty-five years, died March 29. She
started with her father, in what was
then called Jas. Eadie, Florist. Five
years ago the firm name was changed
to the Jas. Eadie Co., and conducted
by Miss Jane Eadie at the store and by
James Eadie, her brother and son of
the founder, at the greenhouses. The
funeral services were held April 1, at
Wade Memorial.
A. J. Thompson.
The trade in general will learn with
regret of the death of A. J. Thompson,
of 757 Campbell avenue. West Haven,
Conn., of pneumonia, following an ill-
ness of two weeks. Mr. Thompson was
well known in the trade, having been
in business for many years. Funeral
services were held at the residence,
March 31, many beautiful floral trib-
utes being silent tokens of the esteem
in which the deceased was held.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
Next year Easter falls April 12, three
weeks later than in 1913.
Nearly a page of classified ads in-
tended for last week's issue of The Re-
view arrived from twenty-four hours to
three days too late because of the floods.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
The consensus of opinion is that the
early date of Easter did not hurt the
trade a bit — stock was ready and sold
well — while it clears the way for a long
and prosperous spring season.
Florists in general, but retailers in
particular, have not got on to the fact
that they can get special delivery for a
parcel post shipment by affixing the or-
dinary special delivery stamps used on
letters. The postoffice gives special de-
livery parcels the same service that is
given special delivery letters.
One of the unexpected immediate re-
sults of the bie wind at Omaha has been
a demand for tornado insurance on
greenhouses. In cases where negotiations
were in progress for raising money on
mortgage to build additional glass, the
lenders have this week refused to pro-
ceed unless tornado insurance was taken
out by the borrower.
An early Easter is all right; what we
want no more of is the weather condi-
tions that accompanied the earliest East-
er in fifty-seven years. Fortunately, it will
be ninety-five years before the florists'
big day again falls so early — let us all
hope that never again will it be made
memorable by such storms as swept the
middle west last week.
As an instance of what the floods last
week did to communication, The Review
received on Friday a telegram sent from
New York on Monday. News letters
maileo in Louisville, Cincinnati and Co-
lumbus on Monday were delivered in Chi-
cago Saturday; those from Nashville and
Washington arrived Friday, while Pitts-
burgh got in Thursday.
Emil Buettneb, of Park Ridge, HI.,
has a theory that greenhouses are not
crushed in a wind storm, but that they
"explode" because of air pressure with-
in. The truth of this is fairly well ac-
cepted insofar as it relates to whirling
storms, which create a vacuum, and he
believes it applies to other wind storms
as well. When a big wind is seen to be
coming, everybody closes up tight. Mr.
Buettner says he would like to see the
correctness of his theory demonstrated by
some grower with th«< eourpt^ge to throw
hii ventilators wide open on the approach
of such a storm, but confesses he is not
yet prepared to try it on his own place.
MOSTLY EASTEBN.
One of the interesting things is the
increasing percentage of eastern flo-
rists who like The Review so well they
add a few words to their remittance let-
ters. For instance, though three coasts
are represented in the batch below, the
majority are from subscribers in the
extreme east:
The one Insertion, costing $1, sold the refriger-
ator.— H. D. Mann Co., Syracuse, N. Y., March
26, 1013.
We think The Review is worth its weight in
gold [Look out! Bach Review weighs nearly a
pound. — Ed.] and we would not do without It at
any price. This is our first year. We started
with one house, but with the aid of the paper we
will be able to build two more this summer. —
Chris Maier & Bro., Natchez, Miss., March 18,
1913.
Words of praise are due you for the excellent
paper you publish. We get good out of every
Issue, especially new Ideas. — -Lanier Bros., San
Diego, Cal.
We have used your Classified Ads and found
them to bring the orders, with checks Inclosed,
by return mail. — James J. Bates, Akron, N. Y.,
March 19, 1013.
Enclosed find renewal; no use trying to keeP'
house without it. — Arthur J. Roebuck, Winchen-
don, Mass., March 24, 1913.
I am a milliner as well as proprietor of a
flower store and would willingly give |12 a year
for a paper that would help in the millinery line
the way The Review helps all florists. — Mrs.
A. E. Newell, Houlton, Me., March 24, 1913.
"The way The Review helps all flo-
rists" brings to mind the story of the
Scotch blacksmith, who seemed to have
dominated the particular rural fleld in
which he had won an enviable fame for
his work. "They do say you shoe
horses better than anybody the state
wide," said a chance customer. "You
must get all the horseshoeing there is
about these parts." The canny 'smith
shook his head sadly. "Nae, sur," he
said, "there bae tweenty or mare min
who canna stand me rid hair an'
me rid tamper."
Here and there there still is a flo-
rist who don't want to be helped.
OHICAOO.
The Great Central Market.
Conditions on the local market have
not improved since the last report.
With roses, carnations and miscella-
neous stock in oversupply, prices have
hit a lower mark than at any time
since the first of the year. In addition
to the large crops that are now being
cut, the floods have cut heavily into
the shipping business and many chan-
nels of outlet have been cut off for
almost a week. At present conditions
in this respect are becoming better
with each passing day, with the pos-
sible exception of the southern terri-
tory, where the railroads and express
companies have not yet reestablished
means of transportation. Up until
April 1 few shipments could be made
to points east that had to be reached
through the flooded districts of Indiana
and Ohio. In some cases it was pos-
sible to get shipments to points desired
by roundabout routings, but these were
uncertain and losses of consignments
were frequent. In other cases the local
wholesalers, in their efforts to get
shipments through, would find that the
boxes would be returned the next day
by the express compani^f, with the
word that there was no way possible
to make the delivery. These and other
incidents of a like nature disrupted
the local market and city buying was
of little use ,i^ disposing of the over-
supply.
Prices have become especially weak
on American Beauties, which are now
in heavy supply and are to be moved

BEAUTIES
Quality that wHI Revive your Beauty Business
Have your Beauty customers dropped away because you
could not get the grade of stock they required? Well, just
send them word that Beauties are good
again, and show them ours. All lengths,
and, incidentally, prices are at a point
that lets you make a good profit— it will
pay to push our Beauties now.
It is a fact you easily can prove that, length for length, our Eoses carry
larger and finer beads than any others on this market. We ask retailers
to order freely of our Killarney, White Killarney and Mrs. Ward, for we
are certain that these roses will win friends for us by making friends for
those who buy of us. Mrs. Ward is in full crop and a splendid seller. Re-
member we have a full line: *
Killarney, White Killarney, Ward, Riclimond, Radiance,
Sunburst, Bulgarie (Mrs. Taft).
SWEET PEAS
This is the time of year when you can do a fine corsage business with
our fancy, long-stemmed sweet peas. We have long-stemmed sweet peas
in very large quantity— can fill orders for thousands. The longest stemmed,
brightest colored, special fancy Blanche Ferry and the new winter-blooming
Spencer. Others will have Spencers in May— here they are in quantity in
April. You can't get them anywhere else. We are the only source of
supply in this market, so why not order direct?
CARNATIONS
We believe we are receiving better average prices for our Carnations
than are being received by any other house in this market for the simple
reason that our stock grades highest— few low grade carnations here. And
the buyers have found that it's not what you pay but what you get
that determines value. We give value. The more you think about it
the more certain you are to order of us.

only by the best of efforts. Long-
stemmed Beauties are unusually plenti-
ful and the medium and short lengths
are not short of the demand, although
it is easier to move the shorter ones
than the extra long. Killarney, White
Killarney, Bichmond and other roses
are also in big supply and in most
houses the quality is as good as could
be desired. In carnations the same
holds true, and only the white are
moving well. There are plenty of good
pink and red, but as yet it can hardly
be said that the wholesalers are able
to move them without sacrifice. In
miscellaneous stock the supply is heavy.
Tulips are especially diflficult to sell at
fair prices. Jonquils and daffodils
appear to be moving better than the
other bulbous stock, but are not so
popular that they are commanding any
better than a fair price. Valley has
found better sale in the last week, with
the increased number of weddings.
Sweet peas are in big supply and only
the best are bringing anything good
in the way of returns. Lilies and, in
fact, all flowers in season at this time
of the year are far in excess of the
demand. Double violets are poor and
nearing the end of thepx season; singles
are better. Stocks are a problem; sev-
eral houses have large receipts of both
single and double and find it difilcult
to get anything like usual prices. Cat-
tleyas are a little more plentiful, but
not in oversupply.
Association Meeting.
At the meeting of the Cook County
Florists' Association March 27 the
principal business was the installation
of officers, most of whom were re-
elected to serve another, year. The
slate is as follows: President, A. Q
Kohlbrand; vice-president, AUie ZecS^
secretary, A. T. Pyfer; treasurer, John
Zech; sergeant-at-arms, M. Fink; trus-
tees, Walter Scott, E. C. Amling, H. N.
Bruns, A. Henderson and W. J. Keimel.
Following the installation ceremony,
President Kohlbrand appointed the fol-
lowing standing committees:
Good of the Club— Walter Scott,
chairman; E. C. Amling, H. N. Bruns,
Alex Henderson, W. J. Keimel.
Membership — (Jeo. Wienhoeber, chair-
man; Wm. Collatz, Ed. Armstrong, Phil
Brodbeck, James Curran.
Transportation — A. Miller, chairman;
A. T. Pyfer, N. P. Miller.
Sports and Pastimes — A. J. Zech,
chairman; Wm. Graff, A. Miller, Otto
Goerisch, John Heubner, Edw. Schultz.
The report of the trustees showed a
balance of $377.99 An amendment to
the by-laws was proposed to limit the
tenure of president and vice-president
to one term. There was discussion of
publicity for the florists' business and
on motion a committee was appointed,
Peter Pearson being named as chair-
man. The association donated $25 to
the flood relief fund, and a general
subscription raised the amount to
$101.60.
Henry Luebbe, Everett E. Peacock
and E. F. Kurowski were elected to
membership. Applications were re-
ceived from D. Papatony, Frederick
Chas. Price, Peter Tremules and Geo.
Wietor.
A. C. Zvolanek, who originated the
winter-blooming sweet peas, was pres-
jent and gave an interesting talk on
xiis specialty. Herman Wehnman, of
|Maywood, made an interesting exhibit
"of winter-blooming Spencers, grown
from Mr. Zvolanek 's seed.
Various Notes.
Chicago will not be largely repre-
sented at the National Flower Show
in New York next week. Among those
who will go are W. N. Rudd and
wife, A. F. Poehlmann, Emil Buettner,
Mrs. Buettner. and their two daughters,
J. C. Vaughan and George Asmus. All
these will go on the 5:30 Lake Shore
train April 4. H. B. Howard will go
on an earlier train. Fred Lauten-
schlager has already gone. With the
party will be H. B. Dorner, of Urbana,
and C. C. PoUworth and wife, of Mil-
waukee. Either Peter Olsem or A. T.
Pyfer may go for carnation day, with
an exhibit of the Chicago Carnation
Co., and doubtless several others will
find tjijey are unable to resist the at-
trac;^j,ons of the big show.
The death of Mrs. Paasch is reported
in this week's obituary column.
E. Goetsch, once employed by the
Geo. Wittbold Co., is here from Minne-
apolis for a week's visit. He is with
the L. S. Donaldson Co.
Frank Johnson, sale^ manager for
the A. L. Bandall Co., returned March
29 from New York, after having seen
A. L. Randall off for Europe. March
30 Carl Thpmas returned to his farm
at West Springfield, Pa.
Winterson's Seed Store received a car-
load of boxwood plants last week,
which are moving out rapidly.

it could do to turn out the orders.
Incorporation papers have been taken
out by David J. Haskins, John W.
Harris and Frank Amberg under the
name of the Haskins Floral Co., with
capital stock of $25,000. The company
has purchased the property of Reid &
Chambers at Elmhurst, HI., and expects
to add considerable glass with the view
of shipping extensively to the Chicago
whales^e market. No plans have been
announced as to what stock will be
grown or the amount of glass to be
erected.
Poehlmann Bros. Co., who are fore-
handed, carry two carloads of glass,
about 800 boxes, in storage at the
greenhouses. It was bought when the
market was especially low and is looked
on as a cheap form of insurance against
loss following a storm.

poison that has aflfected two fingers on
his right hand. The infection was the
result of the Easter rush, when Mr.
Klingel pitched in to help out in the
packing of roses.
John F. Kidwell, president of the
iChicago Flower Growers ' Association,
says the damage done a week ago to
the Wellworth Farm greenhouses was
confined to the three houses that were
wrecked. Quick repairs made it pos-
sible to save the stock in the other
houses, while the stock of Killarneys
in the three demolished houses was
partly saved by lifting the plants and
putting them in the undamaged range.
L. Baumann & Co. report a record-
breaking business for Easter, which has
kept the entire staff working nights for
weeks. May 1 they will take over the
building on the east of its present
quarters, purchased some time ago,
making a total of 34,000 square feet
devoted to the manufacturing of arti-
ficial flowers, etc. F. H. Gelderman
says that he is holding orders for Day-
ton, Columbus, Zanesville, Cincinnati
and Marietta, 0., until he hears from
his customers in the flooded districts.
The Geo. Wittbold establishment suf-
fered comparatively small loss in the
storm March 23. About ten boxes of
glass had to be replaced. At the
end of one house a hole was made
in the roof as if a giant hand had
reached down and torn a section out.
W. H. Pontius, vice-president and
secretary of the Superior Machine and
Boiler Works, is again at his desk
after a short illness.
The American Importing Co. has
opened a branch office in Los Angeles,
Cal., and will open a New York branch
about April 15.
B. Abrahamson, florist at 915 Blue
Island avenue, will move into the new
building, erected by him next to his
present quarters, about the middle of
April.
Fred Munzing, who has been with
Frank Oechslin for the last seven
years, has bought the North Edgewater
Floral Co. He says he will continue
the business under the same name,
wholesale and retail.
Hoerber Bros, were able to save all
of the stock with the exception of
the two houses that were wrecked by

done by the storm. From the quantity

The Market.
Ideal weather at Easter served *»io
increase the volume of business and
facilitate deliveries. Without excep-
tion the florists here report their Easter
business to have been good. Killarney
roses in pink and white were plentiful.
Red roses of all kinds were scarce and
Beauties were out of the question en-
tirely. Fortunately, there was little
demand for them. Taft roses brought
a big price, but there were few to be
had. The supply of Mrs. Aaron Ward
roses was short. The carna^on crop
was short, but the supply is increasing
daily. Violets are beginning to thin
out and the quality is inferior. Eng-
Ha(i primroses are in demand for cor-
sage purposes, and sell well to take
the place of violets. Bulbous stock,
such as daffodils. Narcissus poeticus,
tulips and hyacinths, were plentiful.
Hydrangeas were scarce. White lilacs
did not sell well this year. Bamblers,
such as Taft, Jessie, Dorothy Perkins
and Tausendschon, were good sellers
and brought good prices. Easter lilies
were scarce and nearly every florist
was sold, out by 3 o'clock on the Sat-
urday preceding Easter. Spiraeas went
well and rhododendrons kept moving.
Various Notes.
E. B. Seals' Easter trade was con-
siderably better than last year. Cin-
erarias and cyclamens sold best of all
his plants. His Easter lilies were ex-
hausted by Friday.
T. F. Sheehan is displaying an at-
tractive new sign, which may be seen
from Main street. His Easter business
was good, his supply of plants being
exhausted.
J. W. Adams & Co. are supplying the
trade in this vicinity with good formal
box trees, both standards and pyramids.
Meacham & Hassell report their
Easter business as having been brisk.
They have a large stock of jardinieres.
The Flower Mart, on Main street,
was open for business during Easter
week, and trade was excellent.
Osterman & Steele had Scotch heath-
er of good quality and potted valley,
which sold well. They arranged a num-
ber of church decorations and had to
employ extra help.
Wm. Schlatter & Son report as large
business as last year during the spring
rush. ^ X
Nelson F. Higgms had a good Easter
trade. ..Qe furnished ,^ba|Eible decora-
tions for a luncheoirgivCTr in honor of

: Several of the department stores han-
dled Easter plants this year. Street
fakers sold daffodils and violets.
F. J. Sullivan & Co. had an '^nnex

business, which was good.

Easter was unusually favorable.
The days were all fair and shoppers
could get out to their hearts' content,
and they did it. There has probably
never been as big a day for the retail
cut flower trade as was March 22. All
the week sales hail been good, but Sat-
urday had a regular rush of buyers all
day long. We have never seen so much
good stock at one time in the city as
there was this year and we never saw
things clean up better than they did
for Easter. Several report a heavier
trade this Easter than at Christmas.

"May Flowering and Darwin Tu-
lips" was the subject of an excellent
address by H. Van Teylingen, of Hille-
gom, Holland, before the Florists' Club
April 1. Charles E. Meehan gave an
interesting account of his trip south.
President Thilow appointed a com-
mittee to raise subscriptions for the
Ohio florists who have suffered from
the flood. The Cottage Gardens, Queens,
N. Y., exhibited a fine vase of the white
carnation, Matchless.
Floral Economies.
The Dickerson estate of sixty-nine
acres, at North Wales, Pa., was pur-
chased March 24 by the company which
operates the Florex Gardens. The newly
acquired property includes farm and
woodland lying along the upper valley
of the Wissahickon and is next to the
land of the Florex Gardens. The new
farm will be used as a dairy farm
and will be called Wissahickon Manor.
Raymond L. Mayhew, an expert dairy
farmer, will be in charge. Mr. Mayhew
was a successful New Jersey farmer,
but has sold his farm. He will be
associated with the Florex Gardens,
operating the farm and dairy in con-
nection with the greenhouses. Mr. May-
hew will have fifty cows and a modern
dairy under his charge when the plans
are carried out. It is well known that
the Florex Gardens are owned and
, operated by a company consisting of
D. Fuerstenberg, Eugene Bernheimer
and Henry C. Geiger. The purchase
of Wissahickon Manor carries into ef-
fect one of Mr. Fuerstenberg 's plans
of floral economies, thought about many

years ago. There are two advantages
in operating a dairy with greenhouses:
First, the manure so necessary and
often so hard to obtain; second, the
hauling. The period of midsummer
dullness is to be utilized for hauling
coal. Two double teams, it is thought,
will be suflBcient for this farm. There
will, it is believed, be little work for
them in July and August, so that the
heavy bills for hauling coal can thus
be eliminated.
A Trip to Torresdale.
A trip to Torresdale is worth while
if you are interested in the culture of
violets, for there is the place where
they are grown to perfection. R. M.
Eisenhart started in the violet business
some thirty odd years ago, and his
place shows what can be done if you
make up your mind to do it and do it
right. There are eleven houses, com-
prising in all about 25,000 square feet
of glass. They are planted with 30,000
Princess of Wales, 10,000 Luxonne and
10,000 Lady Campbell. All have done
well this season. This will be a short
season for violets, due to the warm
winter, which starts leaf growth and
stops their blooming. The Easter crop
was short this year, as quite a number

of the growers had thrown their plants
out.
The sweet pea is another flower of
which Mr. Eisenhart makes a specialty.
The peas are planted between the rows
of violets late in the fall, and, at the
time of my visit were showing color
and would soon be in full crop. The
earlier peas, such as Christmas Pink
and Snow Drift, are followed by a
later planting of the Spencer varieties,
which are brought into flower in time
for the June weddings, when they are
much in demand.
The old style of making cuttings has
given way to a more modern idea. In-
stead of taking runners with a few
roots, that can be potted up imme-
diately, the crowns are selected care-

fully and put in sand in a propagating
bench, where they remain until rooted,
when they are potted up and placed in
one of the houses until the time comes
for planting them in the field. They
are then planted in rows and are cul-
tivated frequently, to keep them grow-
ing. Mr. Eisenhart does not believe
in watering in the field until it is neces-
sary, for if once started it must be
kept up, or they will get a setback
from which they will never recover and
will not produce as good flowers as
those which are kept growing. An-
other good idea that was noticed was a
board running along the back of the
houses, forming a shelf. This was filled
with violet plants in pots. This gives
an extra row of plants to the house and
also enables the grower to get an early
crop, as they soon become root-bound
and flower before those planted in the
benches.

Since Easter business has been only
moderate. We have fortunately not
been handicapped by the disastrous
climatic conditions which have afflicted
the middle west, although we have had
wind and rain in abundance, but tem-
peratures have averaged unusually high
for March and the markets have more
flowers than can be profitably turned
over. Roses are decidedly soft and
values have declined. For white roses
the demand has been more robust than
for colored. Rather more long-stemmed
Beauties have appeared and they sell
well. The newer varieties are, as usual,

Carnations have done quite well con-
sidering the warm weather. Gloriosa,
Rosette, Pink Delight and White Won-
der are the favorite quartette. The
Enchantress varieties lag behind in the
race. Single violets are rapidly run-
ning out and the present week will
finish most of them. Doubles are still
coming of good quality.
Demand for Easter lilies and callas
is light. Ten weeks' stocks no one
wants, and snapdragons are abundant.
Sweet peas are popular. The long-
stemmed stock nets good prices. There
are fewer short-stemmed ones than a
fortnight ago. Bulbous stock continues
in rather unwieldy supply, but a short-
ening up is due this week. Quite a few

nurseries about the middle of April,
which was accepted. Wm. Downs, su-
perintendent of the E. S. Webster es-
tate at Chestnut Hill, gave a talk on
"Care of Greenhouses," which was
well received. Thos. J. Grey, formerly
of the T. J. Grey Co., who lately joined

and talked interestingly of many pleas-
ant relationships enjoyed in the past
with members of the concern and older
employees. Breck 's orchestra, John

Some of the exhibitors will leave April

when the carnationists will be out in

which has been chosen as the official
line of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club, but quite a few will take the all-
rail route, which only occupies five
hours.
The Boston Cooperative Flower Mar-

flower show to be held April 12. There

Flood Hurts the Market.
Easter business was far ahead of last
year. It was beyond expectation, con-
sidering the unfavorable weather. The
greenhouses and shops had everything
ready for the usual Good Friday rush,
having worked overtime on Thursday
night, but they reckoned without their
host. -When they awakened Friday
morning, it was to hear the most ter-
rific roar and rattle of glass that ever
greeted a florist's ear here. The wind
steadily increased until late in the aft-
ernoon, when its velocity was unusually
high. Everyone was discouraged, the
people being unable to get out to do
shopping.
On Saturday we had bright sunshine
and people felt like buying flowers after
the storm of Friday. Everyone was on
the jump all day. All kinds of bloom-
ing plants sold well, especially tulips
and rose plants. There was not much
call for azaleas. Violets sold well, as
did daffodils, especially single colors.
It was well '.that Saturday was a good
day, because Sunday brought a steady
downpour of rain all day and made it
hard . to deliver. As a consequence,
there was considerable stock left over.
Various Notes.
John Barrows had a fine lot of tulips
for Easter; in fact, the finest ever
shown in Toledo.
Suder's had a fine showing of all
kinds of plants and cleaned out well.
George Bayer & Son had an attract-
ive lot of violets for Easter and are
still picking heavily.

Gentlemen:
During the past year I paid you $18.20 for a
half inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department
of The Review. T received through this small advertisement,
from January 1, 1913, to Deoeipber 31, 1913, orders to the
amount of $566.00. They cane by mail and telegraph from
New York to San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis.
Since I allowed the senders 20^, the record is as follows:
Total value of orders $566.00
Less 20f allowed senders 113.20
Wet value of orders. ; . 453.80
Here is an addition of $453.80 in business which
could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of
only $18,30.
Since my advertisement appeared only in The Review
It goes to show what the retail florists through the country
lose if they do not use this medium of advertising. It also
goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big *P*
but that It has three more big "R's" - Readers - Reliability •
Results!

The Market.
Business for the week followiug
Easter was all that could be expected
in all lines. Stock of all kinds is
demanding a fair price. For the better
grades of stock the prices are higher
than usual at this time of the year.
Pot plants are still in demand and
have sold steadily since Easter. Bulbous
stock is not so plentiful and is bring-
ing a good price, so growers have all
their stock sold out. Carnations are
not plentiful, but those on the market
are fine and seem to go fast. Boses
are showing better color and the qual-
ity has improved a great deal, but
the shortage is still felt in this city.
If the demand should become a little
heavier, it will be hard work to get
more. Sweet peas are much better,
with longer stems and heavier flowers.
The run of work this we^k was mostly
funeral work.
Various Notes.
Henry Kusik & Co. have had a quiet
week. They are handling a great deal
of bulbous stock and carnations. Mr.
Kusik is at Council Bluffs visiting
Wilcox & Sons, from whom he has
been getting heavy supplies of stock.

The Alpha Floral Co. had a heavy
run on funeral work. At Easter two-
thirds of their demand was for pot
plants and the rest for cut flowers.
R. S. Brown & Son sold out entirely
on Easter plants. Their call for small
plants for basket work was heavy.
E. D. Ellsworth, proprietor of the
Rosery, reports business as brisk for
last week, with a general run of ail
lines of work.
Samuel Murray had an attractive
window display of lilacs, rhododen-
drons and Medinilla magnifica.
W. L. Rock is leaving the city for
the National Show, for which he was
appointed one of the judges.
Edward Harvey, who was employed
by the W. L. Rock Flower Co., has
gone to Council Bluffs to take a posi-
tion there.
Arthur Newell reports business duller
than was expected, funeral work being
about the only line that is active.
Across the state line business was
exceptionally good for Easter, an in-
crease of forty per cent over last

Easter being reported. Business this
week is quiet.
Mrs. T. A. Moseley says business is
not up to the standard. The call for
spring stock has started.
W. J. Barnes had a few decorations
which brought the business for the
week up to the standard with him.
Pot plants are selling well, he reports.

The Southwestern Market.
Trade conditions last week were
good, notwithstanding the storms the
early part of the week. As to the
supply at the different wholesale mar-
kets, we can safely say that everything
is plentiful, and prices have gone down
considerably. It looks as though we
are in for a big glut, as the weather
has turned clear and warm. This will
put a stop to violets, which have al-
ready gone back as to quality. Cali-
fornias are small, but the Mazzuras
are keeping up well. Carnations have
been plentiful and the price is down
to $2 per hundred, or $15 per thousand.
All varieties are of extra fine quality,

especially White Wonder, Enchantress,

of the best quality, with the bulk
of them of the Killarney variety, but
there is also a fine cut of Richmond,
Bride and Maid. Long Beauties are
coming in better, with shorts quite
plentiful. The markets are loade'd with
fancy tulips, Easter lilies, callas, val-
ley, Romans and Paper Whites, with
the demand rather slow in these. There
is a scarcity in wild smilax, which
is caused by the floods. Other greens
are plentiful.

Guy Reburn, of A. Henderson & Co.,

Dave Geddes, floral artist at Fred

The Brix Floral Co., on St. Louis

The trade extended sympathy last
week to August Mirring, a well-known
florist of East St. Louis, 111., because
of the loss of his wife, Mrs. Caroline
Mirring, who died at the age of 36
years. She leaves her husband with
seven children to mourn her loss. The
funeral took place March 27.
The plant stands at Union Market
opened March 22, and had a good trade
for Easter, but the cold weather of
last week closed them up again.
Anton C. Zvolanek, the sweet pea
specialist, spent March 24 with the
Kirkwood growers. He was taken in
hand by Hugo Gross and escorted to
all the growers in Kirkwood.
Sam A. Thompson, son of the late

Too dry in California; too wet in
Ohio.
Cauliflowkr has been in especially
good demand in Europe this season and
it has been impossible to procure all the
seed required for export orders.
Planting seed for sets in the Louis-
ville district has been interrupted by the
wet weather. It is wet, too, at C?hillico-
the. Planting at Chicago will begin in a
few days.
Bio Monday in the mail order seed
,, trade appears to have been March 30, a
"big lot of delayed mail that would have
come in the week before but for the
floods swelling the total.
D. M. Feery & Co., of Detroit, have
asked the ways and means committee at
Washington to retain specific rates of
duty in the new tariff bill on bulbs and
seeds. They think the rates could be
lowered.
The pea acreage in Wisconsin this
year will be the smallest in many years,
while the Michigan acreage will be con-
siderably less than last year. The bulk
of the peas will be grown in Idaho and
Montana this season. »
C. H. Green has added a new depart-
ment to his greenhouse business at Fre-
mont, Neb., and now specializes in seeds.
He has just issued a handsome and con-
venient twenty-page catalogue, devoted
exclusively to the seed branch.
On the whole the March seed sales
were satisfactory. From the states that
were flooded there have been few mail
orders since Easter, but the volume of
mail from more favored sections has
given the seedsmen's assistants all they
wanted to do in rather more than a 10-
hour day. Counter trade in the latter
half of the month was strong through

SWEET PEAS IN CALIFORNIA.
"In all California this year there are
not over 1,700 acres of sweet peas for
seed, and of these from 1,000 to 1,200
are in the vicinity of Lompoc. "
The speaker was A. C. Zvolanek, the
originator of the winter-flowering sweet
pea, whose original work was done at
Bound Brook, N. J., but who a few
years ago transferred his headquarters
to Lompoc. Mr. Zvolanek was in Chi-
cago last week on his way to the Na-
tional Flower Show. He states that
he now does practically no business
with the seed trade, marketing his
stock direct to florists, of whom he has
about 4,000 customers, largely acquired
as the result of advertising in The
Beview.
"When I left Lompoc March 20,"
said Mr. Zvolanek, "the sweet peas
were considerably behind. A good
many pieces had to be plowed under
V y^nd replanted after the big freeze; it
hit places that have not suffered from
frost in twenty years. Precipitation
also is much below the seasonal aver-
age, but most growers, as a result of
last year's dry season, have made more
or less provision for irrigation; I have
sunk four artesian wells on my place,
using 6-inch to 10-inch pipe and going
down from eighty to 150 feet. In addi-
tion I can pump from seven other
wells. * '
Speaking of the decadence of the
sweet pea seed industry in the San
Juan valley, Mr. Zvolanek said: "It's
the aphis. The growers are discour-
aged; they have found no way to com-
bat it; they are going to other places
in the hope of getting a crop and all
seem to have chosen the district around
Lompoc. Of course we have aphis at
Lompoc, too, and the result is by no
means certain. I have spread my own
crops over quite a wide section, a ra-

.THE SPECIALIST.
When this nation of ours was
born nearly everyone was a gen-
eralist. The njerchant sold a gen-
eral line; the doctor was also a
farmer and a horse trader and so
on. As time passed some of the
wiser men turned Specialists and
succeeded. The doctor who is a
generalise now cannot excel in
any one branch of medicine, or
compete with the specialist who
devotes his entire time and study
and practice toward one point.
The merchant who sells every-
thing cannot compete with the
man who makes one class of
goods his specialty. The general
florist of today cannot compete
with the specialist who grows one
thing and grows it well. It is
the same in the bulb business.
With the keen competition of
these days it is necessary for the
individual to be a specialist in
business. We are specialists in
lily bulbs, and have been for some
years. It is a business in itself,
and done right, is not as simple as
it looks. We devote more time to
lily bulbs than anyone else in the
business. In point of quality and
price, which is the combination
necessary for ultimate success, no
one can excel us. Horseshoe
Brand Lily Bulbs already have a
reputation as the very best pro-
duced anywhere. The prices are
as reasonable as good business
judgment will permit.

The columns are made of two steel angles bolted
together.
The sides are 7 ft. 11J< in. high. The distance
in the center between the two columns is almost 40
feet.
Note the length of the double steel gusset plate
that bolts together at the eave, the wrought iron
post and steel rafter.
Ten bolts are used in each pair of plates.
The cross ties of the compression truss which
runs from the columns across the house are double

Id 1911 Lord & Burnham built for me at Revere an Iron Frame, compression truss house,
60 ft. wide x 600 ft. long. This house is located on an open piece of ground across which the
ocean winds sweep with terrific force.
After withstanding so successfully the terrific winds of last year, I was convinced that
Lord & Burnham constructed houses were, without a doubt, the best houses to build.
When I decided this year to build a house (JO ft. wide and 560 ft. long, they received the
order. Although the house has but two columns, with a space between them of 39 ft. and 8 in..
the rafters are so strongly reinforced ^gpan

Note how securely the struts are bolted to them
by bolting plates.
In order that the rafter and cross tie joining
plate ihay come between a face of each of the col-
umn angles, they are separated at intervals by iron
washeis, through which bolts holding them together
pass.
At intervals the roof and sides are cross tied
between the posts and rafters to prevent any length-
wise give. The post tie rods are fastened to angle
irons bolted on each side of the posts, fortifying them
against any additional strain.

FEBTIUZINO TOMATO SOIL.
I should like to get a little advice
in regard to growing tomato plants and
shall appreciate any advice you can
give. Last year I grew about 500,000
good plants for a factory in this vicin-
ity. I intended to grow a million, but
half of them did not mature, for which
I blame the poorness of the soil. In
fertilizing, I worked the first fertilizer
into the ground with rakes before plant-
ing the seed. Then I scattered more
fertilizer on top of the ground and,
by watering, worked it into the ground,
but it seems that as soon as the
strength was taken up. by the plants
in placed, they stopped growing and
were not salable. I intend to grow
1,500,000 this year, but some of the
ground is poor. It has not been fertil-
ized for tova or five years and I should
like to find some way to make the
ground rich enough to grow the plants.
It is too late to haul manure, as it
would not mix enough with the soil to
be of much benefit. How would it bp
to work fertilizer in as I did last yetf,
then give a good top-dressing with pulV*
verized sheep manure or shredded cat-
tle manure, and by watering work it
into the soUt Do you think it would
be too strong for the young plants f
How about using chemicals, such sfci
nitrate of soda? W. S.
If you can get well rotted stable
manure and incorporate it thoroughly
with the soU, you will find it superior
to any chemical fertilizers for growing
tomatoes. If you really can not secure
any well decayed cow or horse manure,
I should prefer to work the sheep
manure or shredded cattle manure into
the soil. The sheep manure is the, rich-
er of the two. If the plants seem to
lack, vigor when a few inches high, a
further top-dressing of pulverized sheep
manure can be safely given.
Chemicals, such as nitrate of soda,
must be used with extreme care or they
are likely to do more harm than good.
If you use nitrate of soda you would
better apply it in liquid form to any
plants having a particularly starved

LOS ANGELES, CAL.
The Market.
An Easter without good lilies is a
troublesome occasion for the retailer,
for with a certain class of customers
no excuse goes; they want the goods.
I may have been unfortunate, but I
did not see a single good Easter lily
this year. Those from the north were
drawn, weak and soft, showing the ef-
fects of hard forcing, while the local
stock was short. The rhododendrons
from San Francisco, on the other hand,
were superb, finely flowered and timed
to the minute. Valley in pots made a
good showing; the bells were large and
the foliage hard and green. Azaleas
were fairly plentiful, but somehow
Simon Mardner does not take at Easter;
it is a Christmas variety. A few
plants of Bernard Andre made a nice
showing. Spiraeas were plentiful and
good, the Japonica types being better
than the newer ones. Forced lilacs,
wistarias, rambler roses and tree
peonies all helped out in the absence
of lilies, and a few late cyclamens'
were also welcomed.
Cut flowers were plentiful, most of
the rose and carnation growers being
in full cut, and there was an abundance
of all classes of bulb stock. Orchids
were about equal to the demand, which
was not heavy. There was an abun-
dance of all kinds of greens.
Various Notes.
William Haerle, proprietor of the El
Eeah Greenhouses, at Hollywood, died
at the Clara Barton hospital March 23.
His hosts of friends extend their sym-
pathy to Mrs. Haerle. A brief sketch
of Mr. Haerle 's business career will be
found in this week's obituary column.
It is said that Mrs. Haerle expects to
continue the business at Hollywood.
Frank Lichtenberg made quite a hit
with rambler roses for Easter and re-
ports an excellent business.
Over 50,000 daffodils were shipped to
the H. N. Gage Co. from the Monte-
bello ranch for Easter and every one
was sold.
The carnations are in fine shape at
George Watson's place, at Brooklyn
Heights. His roses also are fine, espe-
cially Maryland.
Murata & Co. report good business
at Easter. The new ofl&ce is a great
convenience.
Howard & Smith report a fine clean-
up at Easter and this meant selling a
big lot of stock.
Bhododendrons and spireeas were the
long suits with Morris Goldenson and
they both won.
The new store of the Superior Nur-
sery Co., on Central avenue, was taxed
to its utmost for Easter. The Superior
Bowling Club is said to be composed of
"some bear cats."
O. C. Saakes reports a good Easter
and he emild have sold more choice cut
flowers. His spiraeas were exception-
ally good. H. R. Richards.
VICTORIA, B. C.
The Easter trade here was only mod-
erately satisfactory. The chief sta-
ples, lilies, were generally late; only a
few were in evidence and these dis-
appeared early in the day. All stores
had a good assortment of plants of
other kinds, with spiraeas and Dutch
bulbs predominating. In cut flowers
the surprise of the day wa^ the small
demand for carnations. In anticipa-
tion of a heavy trade, many carnations
were imported. These averaged fair
only. Some of them were little more
than buds that showed color. The price
asked, $1 per dozen, was too high and
comparatively few were sold. Roses
did not sell briskly. The Dutch bulbs
were the freest sellers; the price, 35
and 50 cents per dozen, seemed to
appeal.
The weather all the week preceding
Easter was wretchedly bad. The cold-
est day of the winter was Tuesday,
March 18. The nights are still cold and
frosty and the day temperature is far
below the average. The general opin-
ion seems to be that the buyers are
spending much less freely and that the
future will require careful considera-
tion. F. B.
TACOMA, WASH.

With ideal weather, the Easter just
past was a record-breaker and we hear
on all sides the assertion: "It was
more like Christmas than Easter."

Stock was plentiful, with the possible
exception of lilies, which were some-
what short. Everything was sold out
clean. Carnations were of excellent
quality. Eoses and bulbous stock could
not have been better. Much pot and
made-up stock was displayed and sold
well, this kind of stock being more in
demand than in the past.

modeled its store and now has an up-to-

The Florists' Club met in an ad-
journed meeting Thursday evening,
March 20. It was decided to hold a
chrysanthemum show November 8 and 9,
and $1,000 was pledged by the mem-
bers as a guarantee fund. Henry Ben-
thien showed a fine specimen of Spireea
Japonica, carrying thirty-five spik6s of
bloom. The plant was grown on his
ranch near Fife. Mr. Benthien is go-
ing into the growing of this kind of
stock extensively and believes it pos-
sible to produce a better grade of stock
than can be shipped in from elsewhere.
The next regular meeting of the Flo-
rists ' Club will be held this week.

The Market.
As anticipated in my last few let-
ters, there was a shortage in Easter
lilies. The warm weather during Janu-
ary and February was more than the
growing stock cottld stand without ad-
vancing rapidly, and as a consequence
the early part of March found many
of the wholesalers with Easter lilies in
full bloom, three weeks too soon. For
a week before Easter the prices had
been gradually rising and last Thursday
the market price was $5 to $7 for cut
stems and twice those prices for pot-
grown stock. Of almost everything
else, however, there was a plentiful
supply. The prices of roses and car-
nations were advanced only a shade
over the prices that were in vogue for
the two weeks preceding. Valley, daf-
fodils, freesias, iris, violets, tulips, hya-
cinths and sweet peas also showed no
material advance. There was an abun-
dance of pot stock also. Never were
azaleas in better form or color. Potted
tulips and hyacinths did not move as
fast as expected. Boses, wistarias,
genistas and heaths, both in plain pots
and attractive baskets, were in evi-
dence everywhere.
Business in town, from all accounts,
was a shade better than that of one
year ago, while the shipping trade also
showed a satisfactory increase. • Busi-
ness since Easter has been rather quiet,
but the prospects are for its early re-
sumption on a satisfactory basis.

a notable feature, and orders calling

The Harrington Co., at both stores,

The firm's Easter lilies were fine and
were soon cleaned up.
The Butler Florists did a wonderful
business in their restricted space.
The Burns Floral Co. had no compe-
tition at that end of Third avenue, and,
having fine stock, was attracting a
large number of customers.
Mrs. L. W. McCoy had an immense
stock of all kinds of flowers, and had
to turn business away on account of
the rush. Jean Lamley returned in
time to help Mrs. McCoy out at Easter.
Eosaia Bros, made an almost com-
plete clean-up of their huge supply and
say they did more than double the last
Easter business.
The Rainier Floral Co. has purchased
an automobile for delivery purposes.
The Floral Market Co. was kept ex-

large and numerous, reflecting credit on
the enterprise of this young firm.

CHOOSING A QREENHOUSE SITE.
I have an opportunity to get either
one of two pieces of land on which to
erect some greenhouses, and I should be
pleased if some one, who knows more
about the subject than I do, would tell
me which site to select. One location
is between two hills and is so sur-
rounded that the wind never hits it, to
speak of. Even in this New York cli-
mate, one could have the ventilators
open every day, as far as the wind is
concerned, and it would be less diflScult
to heat a house that would be so pro-
tected. However, between these hills
the sun is one hour late in the morning
and goes down an hour and a half early
in the afternoon; that is, it takes the
sun one hour to get up over the east
hill and it goes down behind the west
hill an hour and a half before sunset.
The other location is out in the mid-
dle of a plain, so to speak, with no hill
near it and no trees or buildings. This
place gets the sunshine early and late,
but every wind we have sweeps across
the flats worse than anywhere else. On
some days the ventilators could scarcely
be opened if the wind were blowing
hard. Which is the better site, all other
considerations being equal? A. R. E.
While it is desirable to have a green-
house so located that it will be pro-
tected as much as possible from the
prevailing winds, the matter of sun-
- shine is of even greater importance,
especially if the house is to be used for
growing cut flowers. Consequently, if
as much as two and one-half hours of
sunshine can be gained by using the
site on the plain, as compared with the
one between the hills, it would be bet-

sides, unless the hills shut off the wind
quite thoroughly, it might be found
that the air currents would be as strong
as on the level land. Unless the houses
have something to break the wind, it
is a good plan to put out evergreens on
the windward side to serve that pur-

Wm. a. Peterson was one of the lec-
turers at the Chicago spring flower show
this week. His subject was "How to
Care for Trees."
Although the autumn planting season
is steadily increasing in importance, there
still is plenty of business for all the
days of the spring.
Oscar F. Marvin, of Holton, Mich.,
addressed a recent meeting of the Mus-
kegon County Horticultural Society on
the best methods of spraying fruit trees.
P. A. Drx, of the Davis County Nurs-
eries, at Boy, Utah, read an able paper
on "Rational Nursery Legislation" at
the annual convention of the Utah State
Horticultural Society.
Lacking two years of rounding out a
century, Mrs. Achsa Ursula Williams,
mother of H. W. Williams, proprietor of
the Peoria Home Nursery, Peoria, 111.,
died last month at Galesburg, 111.
The Kentucky Normal and Industrial
Institute plans the location of a nursery
on its farm near here. State Forester
Barton declares that the farm has all
varieties of slopes required for forest
trees and excellent soil.
E. F. COE, of the Elm City Nursery
Co., New Haven, Conn., is in demand up
and down New England for his illus-
' trated lecture on ' ' Japan, Its Cities, Peo-
ple and Gardens." He obtained the ma-
terial on a trip in 1912.
Our friend, E. W. Kirkpatrick, ex-
president of the A. A. N., and Ed. E.
Krone, commissioner of the Texas De-
partment of Agriculture, are indulging in
an acrimonious discussion in the Houston
newspapers as to the usefulness of the
department. Mr. Kirkpatrick favors its
abolishment.
Guy a. Bryant, of Princeton, 111.,
and Geo. J. Foster of Normal, 111., two
prominent nurservmen, were among those
who read papers at the annual convention
of the Illinois State Horticultural So-
ciety. Mr. Bryant's subject was "The
Salomel Apple," and Mr. Foster dis-
cussed "Bush Fruits."
The Forest Nursery & Seed Co., with
greenhouses at McMinnville and Irving
CoUege, Tenn., has been incorporated in
Warren county with a capital of $5,000.
J. H. H. Boyd, the former proprietor,
is the first incorporator named and the
other incorporators are G. F. Wagner,
F.,C. Boyd, P. W. Moffitt, I. H. Hillis,
Er R. Martin and A. P. Hill.
The first outfit of its kind ever sent
out on wheels in Iowa, a liberaLpprtion
|>or th« httrticultutil departmenlMif the
state college, will leave Ames, la., in the
next few days on a special car of the
Burlington railway for the benefit of the
' fruit growers in the southern part of
the state, who cannot conveniently go to
the college. Prof. E. S. Herrick, horti-
cultural expert of the extension depart-
ment, will have charge of the car, which
will make Ford as its first town April
5, and Leon as its last, April 11.
O. L. Harmon has purchased twenty
acres adjoining Fairmead, Cal., as a nur-
sery site.
R. L. Beagles, superintendent of the
United States plant introduction gardens,
near Chico, Cal., is experimenting ex-
tensively in the propagating and growing
of the cactus, in the hope of making the
former weed of the desert a profitable
product. At an expense of many thou-
sands of dollars, the national government
has erected greenhouses ana provided
other facilities for carrying on the ex-
periments.
ILLINOIS inJSSEBIES.
Certificates of inspection were issued
to 145 Illinois nurserymen for the sea-
son of 1912-13. Of that number three
were special certificates. The nurseries
proper cover 2,581 acres and the small
fruit plantations about 275 acres.
Thirty-eight dealers in nursery stock
and eighty-three agents of nurseries
outside of Illinois were registered for
the season.
Thirty-two foreign shipments origi-
nating in Belgium and France were in-
spected by state officials. They con-
sisted of 132 bales, aggregating 849,000
plants, all in good condition. Ship-
ments of nursery stock numbering 283,
originating in Germany, Holland, Eng-
land and Japan, were reported but not
inspected, either for lack of funds or
because regarded as safe. There were
also reported 177 shipments from for-
eign countries, consisting of 8,940 cases
of bulbs and other greenhouse stock,
none of which was inspected.
MANETTI STOCKS OVERSTOCKED.
Growers of Manetti stocks in Eng-
land have overstayed their market,
according to the Horticultural Adver-
tiser: "When an article appears some-
what scarce, there is always a danger
of overestimating the scarcity and
outstanding the market. A good illus-
tration of this is seen in the case of
Manetti stocks this season. In the
autumn some American buyers were ad-
vertising for Manettis in the Horti-
cultural Advertiser, and had the great-
est difficulty in securing their require-
ments, holders apparently declining to
quote and preferring to see how mat-
ters developed later on. The result is
that quite a number of growers are
left with stock in hand at the end of
the season which ought to have been
turned into cash several months ago."
CHANGES IN QUARANTINE RULES
The following changes of plant quar-
antine rules are announced:
Regulation 6 of the Rules and Regu-
lations for carrying out the Plant Quar-
antine Act is amended by the addition
in the first paragraph of a proviso read-
ing as follows:
ProTlded, howeTer, That nursery stock which
can be cleaned by disinfection or treatment may
be delivered to the Importer, consignee, or agent
tor the proper care and treatment thereof, upon
the filing of a voluntary bond, with approved
sureties, double to the Invoice value of the
property (the amount of the bond in no case
to be less than $20 or less than $1 per plant in
case of date palms and date-palm offshoots), con-
ditioned upon the delivery thereof to the col-
lector of customs 40 days from the date of
arrival, and provided that the same shall not be
removed from the port of entry until a written
notice is given to the collector of customs by the
inspector of the Department of Agriculture that
the nursery stock In question has been properly
treated.
Regulation 6, as amended, shall be-
come and be effective on and after
April 1, 1913, and the regulation in full
shall read as follows:
On and after July 1, 1913, entry of nursery
stock will not be allowed unless the invoice is
accompanied by the original certificate and unless
each container bears a copy certificate, issued by
a duly authorized official of the country from
which It is shipped, stating that th^ nursery stock
covered by these certificates has been thoroughly
inspected by him or under his direction and wa's
found, or believed to be, free from injurious
plant diseases and insect pests: Provided, That

The Market.
Shipping was at a standstill last
week. Few roads and express com-
panies would accept perishable stock of
any kind. On roads bordering the lake,
traffic was not interrupted and ship-
ments of cut flowers got through. This,
of course, soon loaded up the local mar-
ket and prices dropped.
Boses are much improved in quality,
and the supply is plentiful in pink and
white, but red is shy. Beauties, such
as they are, may be said to be in good
supply. Carnations have not moved so
slowly at this season for years. Fancy
valley, Spanish iris, snapdragon and
sweet: p.ea»- are seen daily. There is
plenty of bulbous stock on the market.
Several large growers held a good por-
tion of this class of stock for late flow-
ering, instead of getting it all in for
Easter, and it is well they did, for
bulbous stock was a glut at that time.
Maidenhair fern is more plentiful.
Plumosus and other greens are equal to
the demand.
Various Notes.
The sympathy of the trade is ex-
tended to Jas. Eadie in the loss of his
sister. Miss Jane Eadie, who passed
away March 29.
Frank R. Williams, of the Cleveland
Cut Flower Co., is much improved in
health and considered out of danger
by his physician. A rose thorn picked
up during the Easter rush developed
into blood poisoning, and March 23 Mr.
Williams was taken to his home with
his finger and arm giving him much
pain. A speedy recovery is the wish
of his friends.

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Indianapolis has been in the path of
the flood during the last week and
there has been no business for the flo-
rists. The trade has been exceedingly
fortunate, however, as the writer
knows of no one who suffered damage
from the high water. This was the
worst flood in the history of Indian-
apolis, as miles of territory were entirely
covered with water and about 5,000
dwellings were partly submerged. The
telephones, steam and electric cars
were put out of business. The greatest
inconvenience suffered by the florists
was caused by the shutting down of
the water works. The water supply was
off for about four days, which made
it diflScult to fee* the boilers and
water the plants. Business has been
at a standstill.
Various Not^s.
Albert Pittet was high and dry on a
hill in the neighborhood of the river
and the flood district.
The National Cooperative Show Gar-
dens, of Spencer, Ind., is sending a rep-
resentative to the Pacific coast to se-
lect a location for a branch garden.
Herman Junge spent about three days
at Cumberland last week, with all com-
munications cut off on account of the
flood. H. L. W.
Texarkana, Tex. — E. L. Kiley, of
Paris, Tex., has opened a branch retail
store on East Broad street.
Mt. Clemens, Mich. — Fred Lewis, of
Buffalo, who is taking the baths, an-
nounces his purpose to build in this city
a large greenhouse for vegetables, in
conjunction with which he will conduct
a flower and plant store.
Houston, Tex. — ^In a xecent indus-
trial edition of the Chronicle the flo-
rists made a specially good showing.
E. C. Kerr had an advertisement of
over half a page, showing cuts of his
place, and so did the Brazos Hotel
Greenhouses, Geo. M. Cosh, manager,
while H. H. Kuhlmann and the I. M.
Johnson Co., landscape architects, were
well represented.
NEW CARNATION
BENORA
Strong rooted cottings
ready for immediate delivery
$6.00 per 100
$50.00 per 1000
This variegated carnation, sent out by Mr.
Peter Fisher last season, is the finest varie-
gated variety, and one off the very best car-
nations off any color, ever sent out.
It has immediately attained a commanding posi-
tion among the very choicest sorts, and will add to
Mr. Fisher's already enviable list of introductions.
It is indispensable.
It is a very early and free bloomer, matures
quickly, making very perfect flowers of the largest
size on long stems; does not split the calyx.

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME
|HE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all the vigor and freedom tliat dis-
tinguish its parent. Color a light salmon pink — a color that is not only very attractive,
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without bleaching. A good all-round
Carnation that retains its color at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of the
parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown no inclination to be a burster. The
weak points of Enchantress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four years'
duration convinces us of its great value.

COMMODORE
Extra Fine Cuttings ready now --none better.
The prettiest shade of red in the family.
As to its keeping qualities, we sent blooms to Redwood City, Cal., and Mr. Goertzhain says :
"The blooms sent me arrived in splendid condition ; Commodore is all right for keeping quality."
And a friend in Peoria says : "I took some flowers you brought to the State Convention and
had them in the store window for nearly ten days in good shape; Commodore is a keeper."

The Market.
Easter trade, coming before the flood,
was heavy and there were loads of stock;
in most lines there was about enough
to go the rounds. Plant trade was
heavy, with a fine assortment. Easter
lilies were rather scarce with some
growers. Plant trade kept up until
a late hour Saturday night and things
were cleaned up in good shape. In cut
flowers everything was quite plentiful,
except Beauties and good Richmonds.
Other roses were abundant. Carnations
were quite plentiful, but were about all
cleaned up. Violets were all sold out
early and there was a great scramble
for them from noon on. Sweet peas
were as much in demand as violets and
they were cleaned up early. There was
an enormous quantity of bulbous stock.
Murillo tulips were at their prime and
found ready sale. Daffodils also sold
well from the start and at a late hour
many of them were cut^^ off the plants,
as all cut ones were used up. Lily
of the valley proved a good seller,
especially after the violets and sweet
peas were exhausted. J. M.
PRINCETON, ILL.
The W. E. Trimble Greenhouse Co.,
March 29, had a narrow escape from
a disastrous fire. The blaze, which orig-
inated in a barn, 18x48, destroyed that
structure, together with its contents,
and also three houses of carnations lo-
cated just north of the barn and in
the direction of the high wind blowing
at the time. The glass and rafters
were ruined and the carnation plants
were cooked, but the iron gutters and
^ posts appear to be undamaged. Re-
building will begin as quickly as ma-
terial can be delivered. The larger
range of rose and carnation houses was
not injured and here about 2,000 roses
and 1,500 carnations are being cut
daily. .

The Florists' Review
Afbil 8, 1918.
OBLANDO, FLA.
It is remarkable how well many of
our tender roses do in this climate,
planted out in pure white sa^d with an
occasional sprinkling of commercial fer-
tilizer, which the next heavy shower
may send three or four feet below the
surface. Crimson Kambler rosea abso-
lutely refuse to flower, but I have seen
Baby Bambler do fairly well. It seems
strange to put in a bed of coleus cut-
tings in the open ground in February,
but every one of them rooted nicely.
Poinsettias are in full bloom yet and
do nicely here. When it is desired to
increase the stock, a piece is cut off and
stuck in the sand and the following
year there is quite a tree. To be suc-
cessful with vegetable growing, which
is one of the principal industries here,
most of the truck gardens are supplied
with the Skinner overhead sprinkling
system.
This year's orange crop has been
large, but the outlook for next year
is not promising, as many of the groves
are not flowering so freely. Florida is
full of real estate men looking for
"easy marks" to buy orange groves
and swamps. For the groves they will
ask from $500 to $1,000 per acre. I
have seen good oranges sold on the
trfees at 19 cents per box. None of
my money will go into oranges, for
commercial fertilizers cost too much
and groves must be fertilized three
times each year. When you purchase
real estate here you simply buy air and
climate, but they certainly are fine.
After another week in Florida I will
return to my home in Sharon, Pa.,
reaching there about the middle of
April, having spent four months in the
land of sunshine and flowers. •

OYSTEE BAY, N. Y.
The regtilar monthly meeting of the
Oyster Bay Horticultural Society was
held in the Board of Trade rooms
March 28, at 7:30 p. m. President
Duthie occupied the chair. The execu-
tive committee reported progress on
the schedules for the spring and sum-
mer shows.
John E. Colenso, T. E. Vaptsaroff,
Sebastian Yacker and William Simpson
were elected to active membership;
Theodqre Sommers, George Fletcher
and Gus Powers were elected to asso-
ciate membership; James Beaton and
John Mclntyre were proposed. . ,
Alfred Walker, Duncan Beaton and
George Milne acted as judges and their
decisions were as follows: Antir-
rhinums, Frank Kyle, first; Wm. D.
Eobertson, second. Pot lilies, Wm. D.
Eobertson, first. Three lettuces, Frank
Petroccia, first. Vase of violets, Frank
Petroccia, cultural certificate. Two
pots of valley, James Duckham, cul-
tural certificate. The exhibitors gave
interesting talks on their different
methods of growing the stock, and the
talks were greatly enjoyed by all
present.
Other four members were appointed
to assist the executive committee in
getting the schedules ready.
The secretary offered a prize of $5
for twelve varieties of sweet peas,
twelve to a vase, to be competed for
at the spring show. Charles Boothman
presented a beautiful carving set for
four varieties of strawberries, also to
be competed for at the spring show.
These gentlemen were awarded the
thanks of the society for their gen-
erosity.

The Florists' Review
Apbil S, 1918.
My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON
is reaching every part of the globe. It is traveliog upoa its record and good looks, and
has more admirers than all other antirrhinums combined. There may be an occa-
sional pleasing sport, but aside from this, seedlings will have every characteristic of
their illustrious parent— the FAMOUS SILVER PINK. It is a dUtinct type, and
is best described by the original name that we gave it. Its soft, silvery »hade of pink is not found In
any other fiowcr. and is at its best in full sunshine, both indoors and out. Silver Pink has an estab-
lished record. Plant it and you will have the best. It is truly a hlsh>cla*s nov«lty, and we offer
it at sinall coat.
Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 500 seeds ; 8 packets. $2.50. delivered.
Can still supply plants for bedding at $3 00 per 100. 200 for $5.00. by express. Cash must accompany
all orders. ^ _

PROVIDENCE.
The Market.
Growers and retailers are catching
their breath after the biggest Easter
in their experience. The sales for this
season doubled those of former seasons
and there was hardly a report of any
dealer not cleaning up everything he
had. As a rule the week following
Easter is dull, but this year has proved
an exception. "The College Hero,"
in which upwards of 700 youths and
' Blisses of the fashionable set appeared
at the Providence Opera House, calletii'
for large orders every evening. Fu-
neral work has also continued brisk.
Prices have dropped back to normal,
with a plentiful supply of everything
except violets, which are beginning to
run short.
Various Notes.
Stephen J. Toher, 58 Concord street,
is erecting an addition to his green-
houses on Collyer street.
Johnston Bros, conducted a large
branch store on Westminster street
during the Easter rush.
The Home Nursery, owned by Nathan
D. Pierce, who recently died, will be
continued under the direction of Mr.
Pierce 's widow.
The commission on the layout of the
extension of Waterman street has
awarded the W. E. Barrett Co. $8,000
as damages resulting from the demoli-
. tion of the building long occupied by
the firm. The company has removed
into the next building.
Stephen Green, representing Bayers-
dorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, was a
business visitor in the city.
James Hay, of East Greenwich, is
considering establishing a new range
of greenhouses for himself. He is a
brother of William Hay, of Oakland
and this city, and Lawrence Hay, of
East Providence.
S. S. Skidelsky, of Skidelsky & ,Co.,
Philadelphia, was a caller on the trade
last week.
John H. Brown, of Warren, has pur-
chased of the heirs of Walter S. Nichol
his greenhouses and also a tract of
land at Hampden Meadows.
Eugene McCarron furnished the
plants and decorations for the memorial
service of Providoacfe lodge, Loyal
Order of Moose., March 30,
James B. Canning received his new
delivery car in time for use at Easter.
A greenhouse 20x30 feet, belonging
to W.-A. Farland, of Chace street, Fall
River, Mass., was burned to the ground
March 29. No insurance was carried.

OHIO'S FLOOD
Did aot reach The Reeser Plant Company, at Springfield. It did, however, reach and wipe
out many of our customers and friends In Dayton and other nearby towns, and to all of
these we extend our sympathy. As a result, many orders have been cancelled, and we
now have an extra large amount of the finest stock to put on the general market.

The Market.
Trtre Tfeautiful weather which pre-
vailed during Easter week passed oflF
into cold rain, turning to snow. The
weather changed Sunday afternoon and
continued all last week. As a result
business was quiet, due, to a large ex-
tent, to the usual dullness after Easter.
Stock is plentiful, especially the lilies,
and some extremely low quotations have
been issued. Boses took a drop and
much stock was carried over. Carna-
tions are on for the spring crop and
low prices prevail.
Various Notes.
Automobiles are the latest fad.
Everybody buys them now. Two new
ones were added last week. J. B.
Wiese purchased a new Stewart for de-
livery. Mr. Altman, of Altman's Flow-
er Shop, said that business was so good
Easter he had to place his surplus some-
where and so he bought a large seven-
passenger Oakland.
Much interest is manifested in the
big show in New York and it is re-
ported several members will attend
from here.
Arthur Kowalski, head man for Alt-
man's Flower Shop, was taken serious-
ly sick Easter afternoon and had to be
taken to the hospital. It is reported
he will be confined five or six weeks.
Miss Sauer, who has conducted the
store at 1375 Main street for the last
two years, has sold out. The business
will be carried on by Miss Burns, of this
city.
Charles Holser, of the William Scott
Co., was on the sick list last week, due
to the long strain at Easter time.
David Scott is shipping select peas,
called the Pink Beauty.
The bowling chi^ has been having
lively meetings during the winter and
is just about to close. the season. Hi^h
scores were made and some good bowl-
ers have developed. The old stand-bys
have carried off the honors, Charles
Sandiford being the proud possessor of
the' first prize, which was a glass of
Pilsner and a cheese sandwich. Mr.
Sandiford greatly appreciated this
prize, as he is fond of cheese. Joseph
Streit was given a vote of thanks for
his able management throughout the
year. • R. A. S.

PAN8IK8.
PANSY PARK PERFECTION Is the most
thoroughbred strain of giant show and fancy
pansles, the flowers of largest size and most per-
fect form. I have made growing of pansy seeds'
and plants a specialty for 40 years and it Is the
result of many years of breeding and selection.
It also contains every ■ variety Introduced by
foreign growers to date. Hardy, field-grown
plants from seed sown in August, broadcast,
so that each plant has plenty of room to grow
stocky and strong with extra good roots; Just
right to transplant for blooming in May. Over
75 varieties mixed, the reds, bronzes and best
fancy sorts In large proportion, |4.00 per 1000.

In a late number of the Market Growers' Jour-
nal, in a symposium on tomato growing, five of
the six writers commended BONNY BEST. One
calls it a "top-notcher." another says his patrons
would take no other if Bonny Best was on the
wagon. The qualities mentioned are eariiness,
almost the first; most desirable in size, smooth-
ness, velvety red, thrlftlness of plant, long bear-
ing season, great productiveness, excellent for
early or main crops. We have thousands of plants
of this variety, transplanted, tough, stocky, well
rooted, extra fine strain, sure to please, $1.00

Greenhouse Heating.
According to one greenhouse fireman,
the extortionate prices imposed by the
coal barons are not unmixed evil. "I
wish the stuff cost twice as much," he
says, "then a man would get a little
more credit for saving it."
Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any detaUs of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Eeview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment adverticed in this paper is,
we believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
THE WASTE IN SMOKE.
"As to the common fallacy that
smoke necessarily represents a large
waste of fuel," says an expert in
Power, "a chimney may be smoking
badly and yet the amount of heat lost
by incomplete combustion may be neg-
ligible. The writer has tested the gases
at the base of a number of smoky
chimneys and has found that an aver-
age of one per cent of carbon monoxide
in the gases is seldona reached. As high
a percentage as this is only obtained
when there is little dilution with ex-
cess air and when the carbon dioxide
present is high, say, ten to twelve per
cent. Assuming the composition of the
fluk gases to be carbon dioxide (COj)
twelve per cent, carbon monoxide (CO)
one per cent, oxygen six per cent, ni-
trogen eighty-one per cent and the
calorific value of the fuel to be 12,500
B.t.u. per point, the heat lost by in-
complete combustion represents about
five per cent of the total available heat
in the fuel, which is much less than
many imagine."
NO MOBE THIN PIPE.
The so-called "standard" iron pipe
is a good deal thicker than it need be
for many purposes, especially in the
smaller diameters. Consequently it has
been the practice of the mills to draw
pipe to order of less than the standard
thickness for use under conditions in
which the standard pipe was not neces-
sary, and this pipe, of the same out-
side diameter as the standard, threaded
and coupled like it, similar, in every
particular except in thickness and
weight, has been known as "mer-
chanl" pipe.
The reduction in weight per running
foot has been kept within limits and
the merchant pipe subjected to the

tion of one boiler save out and the front
aoctlon of the other spruns a crack a
couple of months later. No more CS4( iron
boilers for me. I came very close to freezing
out in both instances.
G. M. TH08T. De Soto, Mo.
Would Not Have a Cast Iron Boiler
for a Gift, Since 1 Tried
tbe Kroeschell
The No f> Boiler is heating my entire range.
I believe it would take care of 18.000 square
feet. Have no trouble to keep temperatures
of 55 to tio degrees— I could keep 80 to 90 de-
gree* if I had to. During the coldest nights
I flred at 9. 12 and 3 o'clock. The boiler has
given entire satisfaction— in fact, more than
I expected. Previous to this I had a cast iron
boiler, but would not have it for a gift now
If I know of any one needing a good boiler I
shall recommend the Kroeschell Boiler above
all. JOHN LIErZAU, Geneva. 111.
The Kroeschell does Our Work Easier
Than Cast Iron Boilers and Saves
Twenty to Twenty-five
Per Cent Fuel
The No. 4 Boiler is heating 10.000 square
feet of glass— it would take care of i:j,000
square feet easily. Havn no trouble to keep
temperature of 50 and 00 degrees in coldest
weather. The boiler has given perfect satis-
faction. We had two cast Iron boilers, one
rated for 1200 feet of pipe and one rated for
1.500 feet. These boHers never did the work
at their best and when the greenhouses were
new. According to our experience with yours
we will save twenty to twenty-flve per cent
of fuel. HILD BROS., Lake Forest, III.
Try the Kroeschell First — It's Ahead
of Them All
I have had eight or ten other types of
boilers. Tho Krooschell Is the best I have
over used. Your boiler heats the water very
quickly— almost as fast as steam.
Yours very truly.

Where There Is Coodeflsatioo
—there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in
steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform
temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per-
fectly— return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without
pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that
impulse — write now.

BATAVIA, N. Y.
Business at Easter was highly satis-
factory for all the members of the craft
here. Gustav Noack had not only an
excellent demand for cut flowers and
such plants as azaleas, tulips, hyacinths,
daffodils, etc., but was almost smoth-
ered with funeral work. He says it
was the best Easter he has had since
he embarked in the business.
L. C. Stroh & Sons had about all they
could handle, both at the greenhouses
and at one of the best drug stores,
which they use to help them out on
such special occasions.
The William Scott Co., of Corfu and
Buffalo, which does not believe in be-
ing outdone, was in the field, as it has
been for the last few seasons, at Lead-
ley's store. They, like the others made
a clean sweep. Of course, to those who
saw the display this announcement is
no surprise, as the flowers were of the
usual Scott quality.
There was a strong wind here on Fri-
day, March 21, but, while severe, it
did little damage, aside from making
greenhouse men nervous. A. A. K.

One of the largest realty deals recent-

for 100 years by E. A. Latham and
O. H. Carlson, who have just effected a
business consolidation and who will
erect this spring a fireproof building
especially adapted to the retail florists'
business. The terms of the lease place
a high value on the ground, which
fronts forty-two and one-half feet and
has a depth of 110 feet. For the first
twenty-five years the annual rental will
be $1,500 per front foot, for the next
twenty-five years $1,800 per front foot
and for the balance of the lease term
$2,000 per front foot. The conservatory
will be a special feature of the building
and will be supplied from Mr. Latham 's

Three Kinds of Construction
Half Iron Frame
FOR HOUSES up to certain width
limits this construction has many
strong advocates.
It has the same side posts and eave
plate used in our regular All Iroa frame.
The purlins are all angle iron with
each bar screwed to them.
The columns are pipe.
The gables are strongly reinforced
with posts and angle irons.
For the money, is exceptional value
and a logical step towards the All Iron
Frame which most growers eventually
build.
All Iron Frame
Soit^ GROWERS sometimes
argue that this construction
costs too much. Over and over
again, we have proven it costs but
surprisingly little more than the
Half Iron Frame.
It's enough sight easier to erect,
and what you pay extra in cost of
materials you practically make up
in decreased erection expense.
Everyone admits it's the most
enduring.
Cantilever
THIS IS the newest thing in the
field today.
The idea upon which it is based,
however, is not new. It's as old as iron
bridge building. Although there are
fewer rafters, columns and purlins
used, the framework itself is lighter in
result than flat rafter constructions.
The specially constructed rafters are
12 feet instead of 8 apart.
The glass is 20 inches instead of 16.
We will gladly write you full parti-
culars. Or better yet, come and talk
it over with you.

Th€t Big Blow
that Did Not Blow Enough
to Blow Down
Any L and B Big Houses
nPHE RECENT far-reaching defltraetion
* throughout the middle west of all
sizes of variously constructed green-
houses points an object-lesson we have been
endeavoring to impress on growers for years.
Over and over again we have used these
pages to show up the wind-resisting strength
of our Iron Frame Construction.
Some of the " wise ones" have gone so
far as to flatly state that our houses " had
too much iron in them," or that we " were
unnecessarily fussy about the number of
columns " we placed in a house.
Yes, and we have even been accused of
being " behind the times " by not adopting
some of the new-fangled framing methods.
It now happens that two of the biggest iron
frame houses in the west were new-fangled
construction, and in that blow they went
down like a pack of cards.
Not a single Lord and Bumham houee
suffered.
Of course, glass was broken, but the
framework on all sides stands as firm and
true today as when erected.
It is apparent, then, that many growers
have been led to put too much confidence
in certain kinds of frame houses.
The recent destruction of hundreds of
thousands of dollars' worth of houses simply
backs up what we have been continually
claiming, and that is — half the iron frame
houses being put up by firms with but a few
years' experience in this type of construc-
tion are nowhere near as safe and sure as
our Pipe Frame.
It's not a question of how much iron
we use in a house, but how that iron is
put to use. Mind, we don't claim that
our iron frame houses will never be blown
down (although one never has), but we do
claim that if any house will stand a
blow Lord and Burnham's will.
Drop in at our show at the International
Flower Show and talk over our blow-proof
houses.
If you can't come, let us come to you.

The Florists' Review
HI
HAPPY GREENHOUSE FACT:
''With CYPRESS You Build But Once."
''With any other material you're 'billed' perpetually."
You save many times over (by avoiding repairs and replacements) what slight premium you pay a high-
class contractor for using Cypress at first. It is worth good money to you if you will but profit by the fol-
lowing suggestions: i»c ^.-rf^'
DON'T buy sash or other woodwork that is painted. Paint covers sap, checks and a multitude of other wood
sins. Insist on seeing the raw wood.
DON'T buy excessively kiln-dried wood — air-dried is immeasurably better. Greenhouse lumber that has
to travel 3,000 miles may be excused if it is kiln-dried to death to save freight over the mountains,
but that excuse doesn't make it any better for you.
DON'T forget that you are wasting valuable time whenever you stop and listen to a whimwham about some
' ' substitute ' ' wood f or-heart Cypress. There can 't be any substitute until nature invents a new species
of wooSr (Nothing to it but PECKY Cypress for Benches.)
DON'T fuss at the building contractor if he insists on putting a smooth surface on your work — it is to
your advantage. Cypress takes that smooth surface. And takes paint perfectly if you want it to. Yet
lasts generations without any paint.
DON'T laugh at the statement that Cypress sash has been in uninterrupted use in a greenhouse for 45 years.
It can be proved. Can a "substitute" wood equal the record? Isn't that a money-saver?
JUST FIOUBE your construction costs by tHe year and you 'd pay twice the slight additional price of * ' The
Wood Eternal" over the short-lived woods.
Send us your name, Mr. Qreenhouse Man, for one or more of the valuable booklets in our free Cypress
Pocket Library. Vol. 3, "The Greenhouse Wood;" Vol. 16, "Cypress for Porches;" Vol. 30, "Cypress for
Pergolas, etc.," and Vol. 28, "Cypress for Trellises and Arbors." Pree as grace. WRITE.

Q. Should a cypress hotbed sash be free of sap ?
A. Yes, by all means. Hotbed sash do not last as long as greenhouses and are (jxposed to conditions that cause rot, and
decay very rapidly. All of our sash are absolutely guaranteed free of sap,^- - . .
Q. Do you charge more for your sash than other manufacturers?'-^' **"
A. As a rule our. prices are lower. Send for our catalogue Nor>16, whtck ■>▼«• prices on all sizes.
Q. Do you reaSly think double
glass sash are good ?
A. Yes. There are thousands in use.
Q. In what way is your zero
fi double glass sash better
thun other kinds?
A. Every light of glass sets in a notch
all by itself and is independent of
the others. It rests on the wood its
|: entire length and is held in place by
a clear cypress strip. This makes a
\. better air spa«e than any other sash
has. Makes repairs easy. Both sides
are glazed the same way.
Q. Do you carry a stock of sash
f * .*eady to ship?"* ••' *
A. Yes. We usually ship in 2i hours
after order is reoeired ,

simonds Heating & Spec. Co.. Ashtabila. Ohio. Feb. 15. 1912.
Orand Rapidd. Michigan.
Gentlemen :— We have before us your inquiry retrarding the continued opera-
tion of our Simonds Vacuum System and we are very glad to report as follows:
One bloclc of glass containing about ttiree acres was titled out with this
system in the summer of l'.W>, and another block of about two acres in the sum-
mer of 1909. We are at this writing jubt drawing a long breath after six weeks
of intense cold and stormy weather.
Neither plant has given us one moment's trouble, and we are well pleased
with general results. We are able with this system to develop additional heat
in any portion of the plant, and find radiation equally effective under the glass
farthest removed from the boilers.
We think we made no mistake in selecting this method of heating and would
put in the same if we bad it to do again.
Wishing you success, we remain. Truly yours,
DUNBAR & HOPKIN.S.
The Florists' Review editorially says in their
iskue of March 27th:
"Few men ever have investigated the subject
more fully than did Mr. Davis, of the J. W. Davis
Co., Davenport. Iowa, before deciding on the
character of his new establishment. The Simonds
Vacuum System is used throughout, and during
the winter now closing excellent results have
been secured, the houses having been heated on
about one and one-half pounds of steam pressure
in the most severe weather this winter."
THE ONLY PROOF
IS THE OPINION OF USERS
You'll profit by looking into the merits of the Simonds One Pound heating way. It means the end
of all your heating troubles and a plant fully protected against the coldest zero weather at a
constant saving of fuel.
Write us— without obligation whatever we will advise you how you can get better heat with far
less fuel. Won't you write us today?
Our Ohio Representative
In order to serve you better, we have opened an Ohio branch, where one of the most eflBcient green-
house heating engineers in the country is at your service with a broad knowledge of every condition.

JULIET (Novelty.) This, perhaps, is
the most distinct rose ever introduced
for color, which is unique. It is of the
same type as Soleil d'Or, Rayon d'Or
and other Austrian Briers and their
hybrids. It was introduced by Wm.
Paul & Son in 1910. These types re-
quire very little pruning; simply re-
move dead and useless wood. The fol-
lowing is the raiser's description: "Out-
side of petals old gold, interior rich
rosy red, changing to deep rose as the
flowers expand. A very distinct and at-
tractive novelty, blooming both in sum-
mer and autumn. Large and full, of
powerful and delicious fragrance; most
beautiful." Each, 50 cts.; 5, $2.25; 100,
$40.00.
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. An
almost pure white rose. Shaded a beau-
tiful primrose. Fine for indoor or out-
door summer blooming. Bundle of 5.
$1.00; 100, $17.50.
KILLARNEY. This is a grand rose for
either indoor or outdoor cultivation;
is a strong grower, and the blooms,
which are of a beautiful pink, are
borne in great profusion. Bundle of 5.
$1.00; 100, $17.50.
WHITE KILLARNEY. This white queen
of the Irish roses excels any other of
its class. The color is pure white.

Received Highest Honors
-at the-
Chicago Flower Show
Not only is our Blue Ribbon Valley recognized by city buyers to be the best
valley on our Chicago market, but it was likewise recognized by the judges
at the Chicago Spring Flower Show to be the best valley exhibited, receiving
highest honors or the Blue Ribbon award over all other Chicago market brands
of cut valley with ease, although the judging was most critical on every
point. We exhibited cut valley. Hence we undisputedly assert that
Budlong's Blue Ribbon Valley is without its equal on this market.
The valley which we exhibited was not grown especially for this event, but was
selected from our daily supply —the same you get when you order valley from us.
It costs you no more— why not use the best for your trade?
Also large supplies of Beauties, roses, carnations, sweet peas, and other sea-
sonable spring stock and greens at the lowest market prices.

The Florists* Review
NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW
CHARMS NEW YORK
Grand Central Palace Scene of an Exhibition
Without Parallel in the History of the Trade
T takes no second look at the
third National Flower Show
to demonstrate that the
committee of which Charles
H. Totty is chairman has
done its work well.
New York has worked for two years,
with the aid of many at other places,
for the success which is being achieved
in America's metropolis this week.
With the high mark set at Boston in
1911, it was a big task to equal, not to
say excel that record, but the work of
many men, many minds
and many months has re-
sulted in an exhibition
of which all America
may well 'be proud. The
Hrrangements were as
nearly perfect as experi-
once could make them and
the show was ready on
the stroke of 6 o'clock
Saturday evening, April 5,
when the public was ad-
mitted. At noon it seemed
inconceivable that so
much could be accom-
plished, but every exhibit
was in its place, the
judges had completed
their work and every de-
tail had been attended to
when the doors were
thrown open to an already
waiting line of visitors.
The show continues till 11
p. m. Saturday, April 12
There is magnificent
material in this show.
The quality of some of
the exhibits never has
been equaled before in
America, not even at the
Boston exhibition, which
easily eclipsed everything
in the more distant past.
It is again to the private
gardener that the greater
part of the credit for the
display must be given,
although some of the com-
mercial growers have not
only brought large quan-
tities but show splendid
quality; still, without the
gardeners the show would
be nowhere. They have
the skill, they took the time and they
produced the results.
In extent this show is about the same
as the last National Show, at Boston.
In some respects it excels in quality,
but in others it falls short. It is not
so strong either in roses or in bulbous
flowers, but it is stronger in hard-
wooded plants, in trade exhibits and es-
pecially in hydrangeas. Few, if any, in
the trade have seen elsewhere such
beautiful pot plants as the new French
hydrangeas now on exhibition in the
Grand Central Palace. In orchids, too,
the show is stronger than any other
giyen by the S. A. F. and it is expected
that as the week develops the special
flower societies will make displays in
the sections under their charge that will
eclipse all previous records.
It is almost a misnomer to call this
the International Show. The original
title was National Flower Show and it
would better have been retained; the
international feature is imparted more

by the presence of several well known
Europeans on the board of judges than
it is by foreign exhibits, for the latter
are so few as to be inconspicuous. The
show as a whole, however, is not open
to criticism; only good can be said of
it. It is true that the ftuilding in
which the show is being held, while one
of the finest in New York, is not well
adapted to flower dhow purposes. While
large in area, two floors are not suffi-
cient to hold the show and the overflow
had to go onto the third floor. The
stairs to the second floor are not good,
and by no means all the visitors see all
the show. Ajgaiii, too, the floor space is
broken into t>y rows of massive columns,
which cut oflf the view. Because of these
adverse conditions, the show does not
present the beautiful picture that is
possible only where the display can be
staged on oitw,' unobstructed floor, such
as is availa|>le in the Coliseum at Chi-
cago or the Armory at Baltimore, where
the last two S. A. P. conventions have
been held. , There are
some wonderfully beauti-
ful views in the present
show, but the visitor does
not find them spread at
his feet; he has to hu^
them up for himself. It
may be a criticism, but it
is nobody's fault; the
only building in New
York that has a large
unobstructed floor space
is being used this month
by a circus, so that at the
moment New York has in
])rogress two "greatest
shows on earth. ' '
How thoroughly the
world has been ransacked
in the search for new
plants of commercial value
is shown by the paucity
of new plants in the pres-
ent exhibition. There are,
of course, the usual num-
ber of new roses, carna-
tions and other cut flower
subjects, but there are
surprisingly few outstand-
ing novelties in plants of
value to the florists. The
trade appears to advance
nowadays more by means
of improved culture than
it does by the acquisition
of new subjects for the
plantsmen to work with.
In this show the trade
exhibits have assumed a
new importance. In an-
ticipation of a large at-
tendance of florists, there
was the usual demand for
space on the part of those
who wished to put their
wares before the trade buyers, but the
notable increase is in the exhibits that
are planned with the one idea of at-
tracting the business of the seed, bulb
and plant buying public. And a num-
ber of these so-called trade exhibits are
not one bit less meritorious from an
exhibition standpoint than are the lead-
ing competitive exhibits. Possibly the
one exhibit most likely to be remem-
bered by the casual observer is one de-
signed simply to sell bulbs and seeds;

The Florists' Review
Apbil 10, 1913.
One of tbe Prettiest Views in the National Flower Show.
■iOrchlil g< oup of Julius Roebre Co. In foreKrouod. with groups from LtiKer & Hurrell
and W. A. Manda at left and rlKht.)
but the commercial feature has been
carefully kept in the background; the
general effect is what has been sought.
On the whole, it must be said that
the third National Flower Show has
marked another advance. It has car-
ried the trade a step farther than it
ever has gone before, and it is bringing
flowers more conspicuously to the at-
tention of the people of New York than
they ever have been brought before.
The attendance on the opening night
-was not up to expectations, for New
York is proverbially difficult to get to
«it up and take notice, but the crowds
are increasing. About the time the
•close is in sight the people of Gotham
will awaken to the fact that to mi^p
this show is to miss a chance the like
of which they never have had before.
The attendance of those in the trade
is large, and it, too, is growing. Dur-
ing the eight days the show runs,
pretty nearly everybody east of Buffalo
will see it, but the west is not turning
out as was expected; not so well as it
did at Boston two years ago.
SOME SPECIAL FEATURES.
Quality High Throughout.
The present International Show
proves that New York can put up a dis-
play equal to any other city in America.
It remains to be seen whether the finan-
cial outcome will be perfectly satisfac-
tory, but certainly those who have
labored so hard for this show deserve
all possible praise and it is hoped the
ledger will show a balance on the right
side.
Compared with the Boston show an
1911, the present exhibition is of about
«qual size. The floor on which the bulk
of the plant exhibits are staged is con-
siderably smaller in area than the hall
of Mechanics ' building, Boston, and the
many massive columns detract in some
degree from the beauty of the show as
a whole. Large exhibits are so cut up
as to lose in some degree their indi-
viduality, but the view from the upper
floor when artificial light is used is-
extremely pleasing.
The Large Groups.
Large groups such as W. A. Manda,
Farquhar & Co., M. H. Walsh and
Thomas Boland had at Boston were not
to be seen here, the exhibits being more
broken up. Mr. Roland's group was
again the star feature of the exhibition.
It was a pity that he could not ar-
range it as pleasingly as he could have
wished, but the whole collection showed
superb culture and proved the Nahani
grower to be a master hand in the
growing of hard-wooded plants. In this
remarkable group acacias were a strong
feature and included many beautiful
specimens of A. pubescens, heterophylla,
Drummondi, armata, armata pendula,
longiflora and cordata. Ericas included
melanthera, Caffra densa, rosea and
codonodes. Some grandly flowered
specimens of Bougainvillea Sanderiana
gave a pleasing touch of color to the
whole. Mr. Boland also had a nice
crop of cyclamens. _ .
Orchids were splendidly shown and
in far greater profusion than at Boston
two years ago. In Messrs. Roehrs'
beautifully arranged group I noted,
among other good things, Brasso-cat-
tleya Langleyensis, Brasso - cattleya
Thorntoni, Laelio - cattleya Hyeanu,
Dendrobium thyrsiflorum in quantity,
Oncidium Marshallianum, Cymbidium
Sanderee, Odontoglossum Harryanum
crispum, Odontoglossum Rolfese, odoii-
tiodas in variety, Dendrobium Artemis
and Dendrobium Bronkhartii.
The Orchids.
James Goodier, gardener to C. G.
Roebling, Trenton, N. J., also had a
superb and tastefully arranged group.
Some of his best varieties were the
beautiful Cattleya suavior C. G. Roeb-
ling, Cattleya intermedia alba, Cattleya
^kinneri alba, the pure white Dendro-
bium nobile Ashworthianum, Miltonia
Bleuana, Odontioda Charlesworthi, Den-
drobium Apollo grandiflorum, Dendro-
bium Cybele nobilior, Cypripedium
Maudise magnificum and Epi-cattleya
Guatemalensis.
Lager & Hurrell were, as usual, repre-
sented by a fine group, which included
Cymbidium eburneum, Dendrobium
Jamesianum, Miltonia Roezlii alba,
Odontiodas Sanderae and Bradshawise,
Brasso - laelia Veitchii, Phalsenopsis
Rimestadiana, Brasso-cattleya Langley-
ensis, Cattleya Wellsiana and Odonto-
glossum Hibernicum. W. A. Manda had
a lot of choice odontoglossums, oncid-
iums, cattleyas, miltonias, dendrobes
and cypripediums. Clement Moore,
Hackensack, N. J., showed some choice
orchids, as did a number of other trade
and private gardeners, and this portion
of the show was one of the strong
features.
The hybrid amaryllis from William
Duckham, gardener to Mrs. D. Willis
James, were superb, and among the best

(A trroup of ramblor roees from Anton Schulthels, massed a^tnst the pillars, with hyacinths flowered by James A, McDonald and W. H. Duckham In foreground.)
Castle Gould, a nice collection of these
also came.
The rose groups from William Duck-
ham and Samuel Untermyer, W. H.
Waite, gardener, were both tastefully
arranged. Mr. Waite won, but many
good judges preferred Mr. Duckham 's
group. Mr. Duckham showed some fine
specimen Phoenix Roebelenii and several
collections of stove and greenhouse
plants that denoted high culture. The
.Tulius Roehrs Co., W. A. Manda and
several others had some fine specimen
foliage plants.
The French Hydrangeas.
The groups of the new French hy-
drangeas Mme. Mouillere and General
de Vibraye, from Louis Dupuy, were a
great attraction. The trusses and in-
dividual flowers of the former were of
remarkable size. Mr. Dupuy also had a
good group of roses, one of ericas and a
number of acacias.
The trade exhibit of A. N. Pierson,
Inc., was a great credit to Wallace R.
Pierson. Splendidly grown Adiantum
Farleyense were used in profusion; also
Cattleya Schrccderae, rambler roses, and
cut roses in variety.
Peter Henderson & Co. 's bulb garden
charmed everyone. The verdant lawns
and beds of single and double early
tulips, as well as Darwin and other late
tulips, narcissi and hyacinths, with
suitable backgrounds of evergreens,
formed one of the most refreshing ex-
hibits in the lower hall.
F. E. Pierson Co. had an extensive
collection of nephrolepis. They also
came out well in many competitive
classes. Buxton's Killarney Pink snap-
dragon here also attracted much atten-
tion. The Mount Desert Nurseries, Bar
Harbor, Me., had twenty-five varieties
of astilbes, a number of which will be
found referred to in the notes on nov-
elties.
Marguerites a Feature.
Madsen & Christensen, Wood Ridge,
N. J., and Mrs. Oliver Hoyt, Stamford,
Conn., had beautiful displays of mar-
guerites. Specimen plants, half a dozen
in number, of Begonia Gloire de Sceaux
from W. B. Thompson, E. I. Grossman,
gardener, were also noteworthy, as was
Mrs. H. McK. Twombly's large speci-
men clivia from her superintendent,
Robert Tyson.
Gardenias from J. T. Pratt, J. W.
Everett, gardener, were fine. C. B.
Newbold, J. W. Pepper, gardener, had
some of his immense Azalea Indica
grandly flowered. His Cibotium
Schiedei, over fifteen feet across, waa
also a magnificent specimen. He also
had good standard wistarias and many
other plants.
Knight & Struck 's table of hard-
wooded plants contained many gems,
all finely flowered. A few of the best
were Erica translucens, Fabiana im-
bricata, perspicua erecta, ventricosa
magnifica, rosea and cupressina; Aotus
gracillima, Diosma ericoides, Boronia
elatior, Agapetes buxifolia and Acacia
cordata.
William Tricker's exhibit. contained a
few gems. Among others I was charmed
to see Daphne Gwenka, Azalea Azama-
shikori and Andromeda speciosa.
Schlzanthus Far Excellence.
Schizanthus were a strong feature
here. The prize-winning six from C. K.
G. Billings, James Bell, gardener, were
splendidly grown. Cineraria stellata
were shown in quantity, but the season
was late for these. Cyclamens were not
up to the standard of the Boston shows.
H. Papworth, of the Metairie Ridge
Nursery, New Orleans, La., had a truly
remarkable display of Lilium Harrisii,
which were in grand condition after
their long journey.
William Sim, Cliftondale, Mass., made
an exhibit of pansies which almost took
away the breath of many of the old-
timers. He was unfortunate in being
given a poor location on the third floor.
His pansies should have had a promi-
nent place on the main floor.
A. C. Zvolanek had sixty varieties of
winter-flowering Spencer sweet peas.
which contained some gems. These will
soon knock the old grandifloras out of
the running. '-^,
Bobbink & Atkins, Julius Eoelirs Co.
and W. A. Manda all had extensive col-
lections of coniferous evergreens, box-
woods in many forms, ivies and bay
trees. Mrs. H. McK. Twombly had
some bay trees of remarkable size.
William Ziegler, Jr., had a collection
of the finest commercial-grown hydran-
geas of the new French types I have
yet seen.
Anton Schultheis and other specialists
were well to the front, as usual, with
Dutch bulbous plants.
L. E. Small, Tewksbury, Mass.,
showed a vase of bachelor's buttons
that for length of stem and size of
flower were quite out of the ordinary.
> Flower lovers are proverbially art
lovers as well, and consequently many
found pleasure in a display of pictures
in oil and pastel by Mary Helen Car-
lisle, of London, showing famous old
English gardens. W. N. Craig.
THE TRADE EXHIBITS.
Business End of the Big Show.
The trade exhibits at the Interna-
tional Flower Show in New York this
week are a big feature; the number
and extent are scarcely less than at the
annual August conventions of the S. A.
P. and, indeed, the same exhibitors, as
a rule, are there, with the addition of
large and costly displays by New York
seed houses and others aimed to attract
the patronage of the general public
rather than that of the trade visitors.
The high rental, causing space to be
sold at from $1 to $1.50 per square foot,
has, of course, resulted in most of the
exhibitors in the business section keep-
ing their displays from spreading over
any more space than is necessary, but
at that several firms are paying from
$1,000 to $1,500 for their floor rent, and
spending in some cases a good deal
more than that on the exhibits them-
selves. A number of the trade ex-

hibitors have kept the commereial «nd
In the background, so that their displays
are as attractive as those entered for
the blue ribbons instead of for the gold
dollars. This feature of the show was
handled by Secretary John Young, and
he is to be credited with having de-
veloped one of the best departments of
the show. A brief review of the ex-
hibits follows:
Baskets and Sibbons.
S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Phila-
delphia, shows a general line of the
better qualities of ribbons and corsage
ties, a feature being made of colors to
match the newer varietus of flowers,
such as Mrs. Eussell asd Irish Fire
Flame roses. In the ties the increasing
popularity of sweet peas for corsage
wear is recognized by a range of colors
affording a match for all the newer
varieties of Spencer peas.
H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia,
brought a large auto truckload by road
ninety miles. The display includes a
line of baskets, bouquet holders, per-
petuated foliages, metal wreaths and
Memorial day supplies. Among the
newer things is an arm batsket finished
in gold, for wedding us«s, decorated
baskets with colored flowrer garlands,
the Ideal basket for long-stemmed flow-
ers, a tumbler basket in colors, shown
filled with cut flowers; also curled-edge
waterproof crepe paper in all colors for
pot covers.
Lion & Co., New York, show^a line of
ribbons and chiffons, featuring a new
glase ribbon, a jaequard ribbon to
match the leading flower colors, and a
double band chiffon.
Reed & Keller, New York, have a
large display of baskets, wirework,
vases, foliage wreaths, pot covers and
metal designs, using 300 square feet of
space. A new wire design is a model
of the battleship New York. A new
plant stand is called the Ecclesiastical.
Baskets are shown in the popular Bul-
garian colors, and the bright tints are
said to take surprisingly well. Several
light, graceful forms of Parisian plant
baskets and cut flower vases for table
and other decorations are shown.
Schloss Bros., New York, have a fine
display of ribbons, chiffons, corsage
ties and bouquet holders. A novelty is
figured chiffon over ribbon. A table
decoration centerpiece of ribbon also is
new.
Bussin & Hanfling, New York, show
a large line of novelty baskets, featur-
ing an antique finish in green and pink.
They have a considerable showing of
Princess baskets, favor baskets and
decorated baskets, also a decorated
American Beauty vase. In addition to
metal wreaths they have a new thistle
wreath in several colors.
H. G. Dreyer & Son, Cleveland, stage
a large line of decorating plant stands
-and attachments.
M. Adler, New York, has a table ex-
clusively of corsage pins in many
styles.
J. G. Neidinger, Philadelphia, has a
large display of wreaths of wax flowers,
wreaths of prepared foliage, trimmed
with artificial flowers, and some special
shapes in tall baskets and vases for
long-stemmed flowers.
Wertheimer Bros., New York, have
a booth with desks, chairs and a sten-
ographer for the use of the trade vis-
itors, with salesmen to extend any
courtesies to those who may not know
where to find the things they want in
New York.
Plants.
A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., has
a beautifully arranged group occupy-
ing a corner and extending high on the
wall. The staging necessary was built
at home and shipped with the plants.
The place of honor in the center, sur-
rounded by splendid Farleyense ferns,,
is, of course, occupied by Milady rose.
There are rambler roses in variety,
some of them trained with special skill
and profusely flowered. Cattleyas
show up well, as do hydrangeas, azaleas,
both Indica and mollis; bougainvilleas
and spiraeas. Many palms are used in
the background and the lower staging
is used to display bedding stock in va-
riety. Carnation blooms show the stock
now being cut at Cromwell.
Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, has a
display of plants principally of the
Genttal Vfew of the Orchid Section of the National Flower Show, This Week at Ne^^ York.

stock in pots so sunken as to appear to
be planted out. The sign reads "Hol-
land in America. ' '

Max Schling, New York, has one of
the most attractive exhibits, not only
in the trade section but in the whole
show. It is entirely retail work. The
baskets of blooming plants are not only
well arranged but the color combina-

NOVELTIES AT NEW YORK.
New Spiraeas.
The familiar expression, "What have
you newt" was, as usual, heard on
every hand. Nothing sensational in
the novelty line was to be seen, but
there were some good things, neverthe-
less, which will become popular in a
year or two. The group of twenty-five
astilbes from the Mount Desert Nurser-
ies, Bar Harbor, Me., A. E. Thatcher,
manager, attracted much attention,
while some of the older sorts, like Glad-
stone, Peach Blossom and astilboides,
were included. The bulk were new hy-
brids, mostly raised by Aug. Haerens,
although a few were Lemoine's. These
are. rather later growing than the older
sorts, being the result of crosses be-
tween Chinese varieties, such as grandis
and Davidii, on Peach Blossom and
other dwarf varieties.
A few of the best of these, which
have great possibilities both for pot
plant and outdoor culture, are: Vesta,
pink; Venus, beautiful deep pink;
Haerens No. 4; Silver Way, charming
pale pink; Mme. Rose, one of Lemoine's
pink, foliage fine; Ceres, peach pink;
Juno, deep pink, and Panache, another
Lemoine variety.
The French hydrangeas, such as I
General de Vibraye and Mme. Mouil-
lere, although not entirely new, were
never before seen in as fine condition
as here. The plants as grown by Louis
Dupuy possess wonderful commercial
possibilities.
New Chinese Plants.
Among the new Chinese plants col-
lected in China by E, H, Wilson, and
old gracilis; Deutzia longifolia, deli-
cate pink, a fine acquisition; Exochorda
grandiflora Wilsoni, a glorified form of
the well known Pearl Bush; Lonicera
Maackii Podocarpa; Berberis Wilsoni
and B. Isevis, each with striking foliage;
Ampelopsis Henryana and Thomsoni,
with beautiful foliage like Cissus dis-
color; Azalea Kaempferi; Cotoneaster
horizontalis; Syringa Wilsoni; Ber-
beris Gagnepainii; Ampelopsis Lee-
oides; Spiraea Henryi, white, very free
flowering, and Vitis megaphylla.
New Orchids.
Quite a few new orchids were in
evidence. From Sir Jeremiah Colman,
Gatton Park Gardens, England, came
the fine hybrid odontoglossum. Queen
of Gatton, a cross between 0. trium-
phans and O. percullum. Clement Moore,
Hackensack, N. J., showed Cattleya
Cappei alba, pure white, a cross be-
tween two other white cattleyas and
fairly intermediate. Laelio-Cattleya
Highburyensis, from C. Sandiford, gar-
dener to J. J. Albright, Buffalo, while
not entirely new, was finely flowered.
The most noteworthy orchid, prob-
ably, in the orchid department was a
beautiful plant, carrying two fine
spikes, of the brilliant Odontioda
Bradshawise from Sir Jeremiah Col-
man. This is a cross between Cochlioda
Noezliana and Odontoglossum crispum
var. Mary Colman, awarded a gold
medal.
F. R. Pierson Co. showed the com-
paratively new, bright fibrous begonia,
Gloire de Chatelaine, equally good as
a pot plant or for bedding. They also
had a fine vase of Patten's sensational
new carnation, Princess Dagmar. An-
other foreign exhibit was a group of
Narcissus King Alfred, the finest of the
newer large golden yellow trumpet
daffodils, from Warnaar & Co., Sassen-
heim, Holland. A deep pink spiraea
named America, from Gt. Van Waveren
I
Rose Groups of W. H. Waite and V. H. Duckliam at New York.
shown by R, & J. Farquhar & Co., of
Boston, the beautiful Lilium myriophyl-
lum stood out prominently. Bulbs in
2 M; -inch pots were flowering, some car-
rying as many as three buds each. Some
fine new shrubs were also included here.
Some of the more striking were: Deut-
zia discolor, a big improvement on the
& Kruijff, was another pleasing nov-
elty.
Miscellaneous Plants.
Among the red roses the dwarf poly-
antha, Bordure, of a pleasing pink
shade, was the best. Silver Moon and
Dr. Van Fleet also had their admirers.

The Florists^ Review
EzhibiU of Roman J. Irwin and W, E. Marshall & Co., at the National Flower Show This Week.
These were well shown by Percy Chubb,
Glen Cove, L. I.
The Eobert Craig Co., as usual, had
a number of charming new crotons and
dracsenas. A sport from Nephrolepis
Amerpohlii, named N. Smithii, is also
a new variety which is going to make
a strong bid for popular favor. Ficus
utilis and the older F. pandurata are
features here. The former is being
heavily propagated and ten houses are
now devoted to it. As a commercial
plant it is sure to stand in the front
ranks. A new, large-flowered impatiens
from J. Canning, gardener to A. Lew-
isohn, will probably prove useful in a
moderate way. The blooms equal in
size one of the large-flowered achi-
menes.
Among ferns, Cyrtomium falcatum
Eochfordianum was most prominently
shown among the newer sorts. Platy-
ceriums, although not new, were evi-
dently popular with visitors, judging
from the way they scrutinized them.
These were remarkably well shown by
W. A. Manda and a number of other
exhibitors.
The jurors awarded the gold medal
for the best new plant to Lilium my-
riophyllum, from R. & J. Farquhar &
Co., and in this they made no mistake.
Taken all in all, the novelties were
well up to the average, even though
nothing remarkable.

THE BOSES.
The American Rose Society took
charge of affairs for Monday, April 7,
and the addition of the cut blooms
added wonderfully to the attractiveness
of the show. Without question it was
the finest display of roses that ever
has been made anywhere in the world.
In no other country would such quality
ever be possible and it excelled all
previous exhibitions in America. Never
before has a rose show brought out
such a magnificent lot of flowers. The
quality was a revelation, even to the
growers themselves. For length of
stem, size of flower and perfection of
form and color nothing to equal this
rose show as a whole ever has been
staged. And the quantity was greater
than has heretofore been seen. The
number of entries excelled everything
in the history of the American Rose
Society, and the quantity of stock
staged was so great that the work
could not be accomplished until the
time limit had been extended; then the
judging was slow, because of the large
number of entries and the fact that
competition was so keen. It was even-
ing before all the work was completed*.
There were eight entries of 100
Beauties! Also there were seven en-
tries of fifty Beauties, and six of
twenty-five. It was all eastern stock
except for one exhibitor. And Chicago
carried off the prizes! Poehlmann
Bros. Co. was first for 100 Beauties and
for fifty Beauties. That surely is
"going some" for flowers that had
been in the boxes for forty hours. And
these were not the only Poehlmann suc-
cesses. The list of awards tells the
story.
The competition was equally close on
the other roses, and the prizes were
well distributed, although A. N. Pier-
son got seven ribbons on eight entries.
Such Killarneys have not previously
been seen. Not an entry out of the
ten on the floor but had stems better
than five feet long! The buds easily
measured four inches in length, but it
was noticeable that the awards went to
the exhibits that were well developed
rather than to those that were on the
tight side, in condition to be at their
best after the more open flowers were
on the down grade. The White Kil-
larneys were of equal quality. The
Killarney Queen are worth a special
mention. Both A. N. Pierson and F. R.
Pierson Co. had vases of this variety
that were in every way in the Beauty
class; for length of stem and size of
flower they were probably the best ex-
amples of rose culture ever put on
exhibition.
No surprises were sprung in the way
of new roses. Mrs. Russell was ex-
tremely fine and was the center of spe-
cial interest because so many growers
have bought stock of it. Milady, an-
other of this season's debutantes, was
shown by the disseminator in excellent
shape. Robert Scott & Son showed
Irish Fire Flame in the best shape it
has yet been seen. They also had a
vase of Killarney Brilliant, another
Killarney sport, that was not for com-
petition but looked specially good. W.
H. Elliott had only one entry, Mrs.
Wakefield Christy Miller, not a new
rose, but one that is not generally
grown.
The judges were George Asmus, Adam
Graham, Patrick Welch, Philip Breit-
meyer, A. B. Cartledge and Harry Pap-
worth. The awards were as follows:
I-'iftj' Killnrnoy — First, Waban Rose Conserva-
tories. Natick, Mass. ; second, Joseph Heacock,

competition. It was principally inter-
esting from the fact that, while the
work was commendable, the competition
was participated in by only two New
York retailers where many supposed
they would all jump at the chance of
advertising to .the high class crowds
who are attending the show. Alfred T.
Bunyard and Max Schling are the two
who entered; they went into every
class, as did one retailer from Buffalo
and another from Boston. The tables
were especially attractive. The awards
were:

The retail work in which roses were
to be used brought out an interesting
8, and with its addition to the exhibi-
tion the popular interest and the at-
tendance visibly increased. The city
at last began to take notice of the fact
that the greatest flower show this coun-
try ever has seen is in progress in New
York.
But the showing of carnations is not
the best the American Carnation So-
ciety ever has made. In point of qual-
ity it is of a high order, probably
higher than ever before has been seen
at so late a date, but the quantity is
decidedly lighter than usual. It is
lighter than at Detroit last year and
lighter than at Boston two years ago.
It is remarkable that of the 200 vases
entered not much more than half showed
up. Part of this is due to floods in the
west, but delayed trains do not explain
the failure of local growers to stage
their entries.
It was in the standard varieties that
the falling off occurred, for the show
is rich in novelties and there is keen
competition for the medals.
S. S. Skidelsky, Philadelphia, has
Philadelphia, silvery pink, of large size.
.T. D. Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., shows
Northport, bright pink, a center of in-
terest. F. B. Adams, Blue Point, N. Y.,
has Salmon Beauty, a salmon pink En-
chantress. M. A. Patten & Co., Tewks-
bury, Mass., show three fine vases of
Princess Dagmar, a large dark crimson;
also Mrs. C. W. Barron, a flaked Variety
originated by Dailledouze. Albert
Eoper, Tewksbury, Mass., has Miss A.
Coombs, silvery pink, and one of the
surprises of the show. Dailledouze
Bros., Brooklyn, have Enchantress Su-
preme, a salmon pink sport of En-
chantress. The Cottage Gardens, Queens,
N. Y., show Matchless, glistening white;
also Virginia, white, with flushed cen-
ter. Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., has
Gorgeous, dark pink, in the same form
as last year. John Barr, South Natick,
Mass., has Mrs. B. P. Cheney, a splendid
variegated. A. S. Burns, Jr., Spring
Valley, N. Y., shows Electra, bright
red, of excellent promise. C. S. Stout,
Biddeford, Me., has a large white sport
of Winsor. Scott Bros., Elmsford, N.
Y., show Wm. Eccles, scarlet, and Ladv
Northcliffe, white, W. D. Howard, Mil-
ford, Mass., has Morningside, a new
salmon pink of promise. Henke Bros.,
Watervliet, N. Y., also have several
seedlings worthy of mention, and there
are a number of novelties of which only
a few flowers are shown. On the whole,
it is a showing of new varieties that is
remarkable for large size of flowers,
length and strength of stem, purity of
color and the fact that each one excels
anything known a few years ago.

BULBOUS PLANTS.
The bulbous plant classes for commer-
cial growers were not so strong as they
might well have been in consideration
of the liberal character of the pre-
miums, but Anton Schultheis, of Col-
lege Point, should be given full credit
for excellent quality and an entry in
practically every class open to him. The
official list of the awards is as follows:

and narcissus. 100 square feet — First, Anton

ing, the private gardeners being at least
on an even footing with the commer-
cial exhibitors. The entries were not
so numerous as one might have ex-
pected, but the plants were fine. The
awards were:

title it had assumed, the International
Exhibition, for here were two entries
from England, brought over by W.
Wells for Sir Jere. Colman. And it
was in the open orchid classes that as
good competition developed as in any
section of the opening day of the show.
While the principal features were the

PALMS AND FOLTAQE PLANTS.
There were forty-two classes on the
opening day, for palms and ferns, open
to all, and almost every class filled.
Some of the visitors said they expected
to see larger plants, coming from the
various private estates, but there were
more who commented on the perfection
of finish of all the stock. There wa?
scarcely a plant that showed a blemish
and in many cases it was nip and tuck
between the commercial and private
growers, with the gardeners having a
shade the best of it. The official

MISCELLANEOUS PLANTS.
The schedule had been so carefully
drawn and was so comprehensive that

A. Manda, South Orange, N. J.

NEW PLANTS.
There were gold, silver and bronze
medals galore offered for new plants, a
place being provided for practically
anything that might develop, but noth-
ing startling came of it. W. A. Mand.a
was the principal exhibitor in these
classes, with a lot of stock of interest
and value to private gardeners, but not
likely to prove of great importance
commercially. A. C. Zvolanek's new
Spencer peas promise well commercially,
but they are not now what might be
called unknown. The awards were:

BOSE PLANTS.
.While such splendid groups as those
of Koland and Walsh shown at Boston
were not availiable for this show be-
cause of weather conditions that put
the plants too far gone, the rose plants
are a feature of the show nevertheless.
It is more in the line of commercial
stock, b|^t it makes a good show. These
roses were staged on the opening day.
The awards were:
Display in pots or tubs, any or all classes; to
occupy 300 square feet, arranged for effect — First.

GABDENEBS' PLANT CLASSES.
There were seventy-one classes for
miscellaneous plants, open only to pri-
vate gardeners, and the "premium monej
was fairly liberal. A fine competition
was looked for here, but it failed to
develop. Of the seventy-one classes
thirty-five failed to attract a single
entry and of the remainder only one

TELEGRAPH DELIVERY.
The Florists' Telegraph Delivery As-
sociation held a meeting at New York
April 9, President Irwin Bertermann in
the chair. Secretary Pochelon reported
splendid progress in the exploitation of
the organization, with a steady gain
in membership, but a far more rapid in-
crease in the business exchanged be-
tween members. Treasurer Eock re-
ported all available funds going into
extension work, and there was general
discussion of ways and means of ex-
tending the work.
Knightstown, Ind. — Eussell Eichard-
son is now proprietor of the establish-
ment which has been conducted here
for some time under the name of the

Annual Meeting.
The interest in other matters was so
great that it was impossible to get to-
gether a large attendance for the an-
nual meeting, held in New York April
8, but a profitable session was held.
President Farenwald presented his an-
nual address and Secretary Hammond
read his report. Treasurer May added
to the general satisfaction by reporting
total receipts of $2,787.77, as against
expenditures of only $1,921.16, leaving
a balance of $866.61 in the general fund
and $3,250 in the permanent fund.
There was a discussion of ways and
means of increasing the membership
and widening the scope of the society's
usefulness, participated in by E. G.
Hill, James Simpson, Philip Breitmeyer,
J. H. Dunlop and others. The upshot
was the adoption of a resolution in-
structing the president to appoint a
committee of three to formulate a plan
for a campaign.
The subject of a rose garden for test-
ing purposes under the care of the
national government, at Washington,
being up, it became apparent that the
Department of Agriculture is interested
in such a project and is only waiting
for some official action by one or an-
other of the national societies. It is
not intended to in any way conflict
with the project at Hartford, to which
the society has given its backing. After
some talk, all in favor of the projected
government trials, a motion was adopted
instructing the president to appoint a
committee of three to take the matter
up in an official way with the Depart-
ment of Agriculture and to work in
conjunction with any other organiza-
tions that may interest themselves in
the matter.
There being no invitations from horti-
cultural bodies for the 1914 annual
meeting, the selection of next meeting
place was left to the incoming officers.
MB. FABENWALD'S ADDBESS.
[The foUowlDK Is the address of President
Adolph Farenwald at the national conTention of
the American Rose Society, held In connection
with the Natlonf.1 Flower Show In New York,
April 5 to 12, 1913.]
A little over a year ago we met "in
Detroit, under raw, chilly conditions.
Although the weather was so much
against us, the American Rose Society
can look back to it with pride only.
The exhibition was never surpassed in
quality and quantity. Our members
showed a loyalty and enthusiasm which
was highly commendable — to go at such
an unfavorable time of the year, and in
severe winter weather. It was a great
pity that this splendid show was not
better patronized by the public.
Our membership is slowly increasing,
but not at the rate it should be for
such a worthy cause — the advance of
the queen of flowers, the mainstay of
'.»-y'.'.

the business, the bread and butter of
almost everybody in it. Why are so many
standing pat, when we need them so
badly? Do they think we have reached
the highwater mark of popularity? I
hardly think so. There is plenty, of room
for expansion. So we need you, Mr.
Stand Pat. See the hustle and bustle
everywhere in our business today; bet-
ter to unite, to come together, to help
one another; that is the spirit of the
times. Anybody who shuts his eyes to
these conditions and refuses his help is
not worth his salt. That's my candid
opinion.
Opposes Amateur Membership.
Regarding our amateur membership
agitation, I want to express myself as
against that movement, for various rea-
sons. We are a body of commercial
men, specialists. We are not in it for
pleasure, though most of us derive
pleasure from attending to the queen of
flowers, but pleasure does not pay our
coal bills and others, so with us the
financial side of the question is the pri-
mary issue. All this does not interest
the amateur, and the history of our so-
ciety will back me up in what I say.
The most of you will remember our
early struggles with this amateur prob-
lem. It was useless to attract the ama-
teur to a body of professional men. It
was a waste of effort in every way; it
brought our society down to its knees;
only the untiring, loyal work of our
commercial members saved it from
utter collapse.
Let us take a leaf from this past his-
tory, and give it up. Let our efforts
be directed to the making of a strong
commercial society, so that we are not
swayed first one way and then the
other, vainly trying to accomplish some-
thing we are not able to do, as has been
proved so long ago. The public is gradu-
ally being educated to the value of
roses in home decorations, and the most
enthusiastic amateurs will finally start
their own societies, with a sprinkling of
professional men among them, as the
horticultural societies are doing today.
Those are the true amateur societies,
which will grow and prosper, but in my
estimation no commercial body of men
can interest the amateur.
For a National Society.
Affiliation is the watchword of today.
Some little while ago the present presi-
dent of the S. A. F., J. K, M. L. Far-
quhar, said to me, ' ' How can the Rose
Society and S. A. F. come into closer
touch with each other?" I confess, I
don't know that we could get closer.
We are an offspring of the S. A. F.,
doing the work which the S. A. F. is
not able to do — specialize in a certain
line, the growing of roses for cut flow-
ers. I do not think we have a member
who is not a member of the S. A. F, as
well. To give up any of our privileges
would mean to give up our society,
which would be a detriment to the busi-
ness. I am sure the American Rose So-
ciety would always willingly work in
conjunction with the National S. A. F.
This vital question of affiliation I have
outlined previously, urging the merging
of the florists' clubs' membership into
a national society, to increase its mem-
bership and its usefulness. But let our
Rose Society keep up its own good
work, nation-wide, as we have been
doing, creating and stimulating a love
for the queen of flowers.

Annual Meeting.
In calling the annual meeting of the
American Carnation Society to order at
the Grand Central Palace, New York,
April 9, President Breitmeyer expressed
his pleasure that only twenty per cent
of the total membership should be ab-
sent when there were so many other
things to divide their interest. He de-
livered the annual address and Secre-
tary Baur presented his report, the
recommendations being referred to a
committee consisting of Wm. Nicholson,
H. B. Dorner and R. T. Brown, to re-
port at a later session. E. G. Hill and
Eugene Dailledouze were named as com-
mittee on final resolutions.
Treasurer F. E. Dorner presented the
following summary of the financial
standing of the American Carnation So-
ciety as of February 22, 1913:

Secretary Baur presented the report
of the committee on the Dorner me-
morial medal, showing $1,028 on hand,
the first gold medal already struck, and
the decision of the directors that the
medal purchased with the interest be
awarded each year to the best undis-
seminated seedling three years in cul-
tivation scoring eighty-five points or
over. The committee was discharged,
with thanks. W. N, Rudd urged that
the award should not go to a variety
scoring less than ninety points, and the
directors were instructed to consider
the change in the rule for next year.
On motion of E. G. Hill, the first medal
struck was ordered presented to the
widow of the late Mr. Dorner. Fred E.
Dorner, in accepting the tribute paid
his father, spoke feelingly of the fam-
ily's grateful appreciation.
The society's share in the gate re-
ceipts of the Detroit show was voted
to the Detroit Florists' Club.
S. S. Skidelsky brought up the matter
of the losses sustained by members in
the flooded districts, a letter being read
from J. A. Newby, Logansport, Ind., in
which he said the water had been ten
feet deep in his greenhouses and that
he had lost all his stock. Mr. Skidelsky
and J. A. Evans were appointed a com-
mittee to devise a plan by which the
Frank H. Traendly.
(Chairman Local Governing Board.)
society might be of assistance to flood
suflferers.
The report of the judges was read
and a protest by Henry Weston as to
the award for the twelve largest flow-
ers was referred to the directors, the
opinion being that the society should
not reverse its judgment.
SECBETABY BAUB'S BEFOBT.
[The following is the report of Secretary A.
F. J. Bnur, of the American Carnation Society,
read at the meeting held In connection with the
National Flower Show at New York, April 5 to
12, 1913.]
We are able to report progress in all
departments this year, save one. This
one exception being one of the most
important departments, and of vital im-
portance to the society, we will ask you
to carefully consider a number of rec-
ommendations which will be submitted
at the end of this report.
The proceedings of the last conven-
tion were distributed to all paid-up
members, as is customary. These pro-
ceedings did not include any statement
from the treasurer of the Detroit Flo-
rists' Club, who had charge of the gate
receipts at the exhibition in that city
in January of last year. This state-
ment was submitted, however, to our
board of directors at its meeting in
Chicago last August. Its action thereon
will be presented at this meeting for
approval.
At the directors' meeting there was
also drafted a schedule of premiums for
the carnation show which is running
now. Alterations were made in the
rules governing entries for competition,
eliminating all restrictions in regard to
membership in this society, except in
the A. C. S. medals class, which is re-
served for our members only. In-
cluding premiums from all sources, the
schedule carries a larger total than any
previous list, which means that there
is offered at this exhibition more in
money, medals and plate than ever be-
fore has been offered for carnations
at any one exhibition. The National
Flower Show committee agreed to pay
the first $1,000 cash premiums awarded.
A special effort was made to interest
the retail men in the exhibition by
offering liberal premiums in a number
of attractive and practical classes.
On account of the flood conditions
which surrounded Indianapolis imme-
diately following Easter, at which time
the entries were supposed to be sent in,
preventing all mail matter from reach-
ing the secretary's office, it was impos-
sible to enforce the time limit on the
filing of entries. All entries which
reached the secretary before leaving
for New York were accepted without
any assessment of fine.
During the past year the Fred Dor-
ner Memorial Fund campaign was
brought to a successful conclusion. A
detailed report will be submitted at
this meeting.
New Audit a Success.
In obedience to instructions given
at the Detroit meeting, a public ac-
countant was engaged to check over the
books of the secretary and treasurer.
This was done February 20, 1912, and
again February 28, 1913, As is shown
by the audit, all funds are properly
accounted for. There can be no ques-
tion as to the wisdom of this procedure,
and, as your secretary, we wish to ex-
/' '■'■■■ ■•"',,'■ .-■,■• / •' " : - , ' ' ..'
Apbil 10, 1»18.

press our appreciation of the establish-
ment of this custom. The first audit
was made in time to be published in
the proceedings of last year's conven-
tion. This year's audit will accompany
the treasurer's report.
All bills have been paid promptly on
vouchers drawn by the secretary and
signed by the president.
A number of seedling varieties and
one sport have been registered with this
society since the last annual report ap-
peared. Besides these there have been
registered with the Perpetual Flowering
Carnation Society of England some
thirty-five seedlings and sports. Dupli-
cation of names already used is care-
fully guarded against. We find among
the list a considerable number of names
without any record of color, originator
or date of dissemination; in fact, noth-
ing whatever to identify the variety.
In all such cases we would recommend
that the name shall be available for
naming new varieties.
During the past year death has
claimed two of our members, J. F. Wil-
cox, of Council Bluffs, la., and Chas.
Knopf, of Richmond, Ind. Both of
these men were well known to most of
us and highly esteemed.
The one department in which we are
unable to report progress is that of
membership. Ever since the meeting in
Boston, two years ago, the membership
has decreased in number. About the
usual number have run delinquent each
year, but less than the usual number
of new members have been added. Dur-
ing the past year the delinquents were
forty-five, while the accessions were
only twenty, making a decrease of
twenty-five for the year. There are
now 261 annual members in good stand-
ing, and twelve life members.
To Increase Membership.
We can account for this in only one
way, and that is the letting-down of
all barriers to outsiders coming in and
getting all the benefits, which right-
fully should be reserved for our mem-
bers only. This society cannot endure
for long if this policy is continued, and
we would respectfully submit the fol-
lowing recommendations for your care-
ful consideration:
We should hold our conventions regu-
larly each year, regardless of national
or other exhibitions, and we should hold
our conventions and exhibitions alone.
Our regular meeting date (the last
Wednesday in January) should be
strictly adhered to.
The idea of alternating the meetings
from east to west is conducive to a
growing membership and should be con-
tinued.
We should allow no admission fee to
he charged the public at the door of the
exhibition, as the charging of a fee,
be it ever so small, tends to reduce the
number of visitors.
Only members in good standing
should be allowed to compete for pre-
miums of any kind, including certifi-
•'atea of merit. No one except members
of this society and of the local enter-
taining society should be allowed to
attend any of the social functions con-
nected with the convention.
Efforts should be continued to inter-
est the retailers in the exhibitions.
There should be more decorative work
on exhibition than has been seen here-
tofore. If competitive classes w^ill not
bring them, then some other means
should be devised.
A campaign for new members should
> Harry A. Buoyard.
'(Member Local OoTernlng Board and Ohalrman Boai d of Judges.)
be instituted, and we would suggest
that a committee be appointed at this
meeting to formulate a plan for such a
movement. Instead of decreasing, our
membership should at least keep pace
with the growth of the carnation in-
dustry.
The thanks of this society are due the
trade press for printing promptly, and
gratuitously, all matter sent for pub-
lication.
DOBXEB MEMOBIAIi FUND.
[The followlnff la the final report of the Vretl
Horner Memorial Fund Committee, aa presented
at the meeting of the American Carnation Society
In connection with the National Flower Show In
New York, April 5 to 12.1
At the time of the last meeting in
Detroit, the canvass among the mem-
bers of this society for small contribu-
tions to the Fred Dorner memorial fund,
which had been ordered at the Boston
meeting, was completed. A total of
some $437 had been collected in con-
tributions of $1 and $2 amounts. In-
structions were given to continue the
soliciting of contributions, and to take
advantage of numerous offers of larger
amounts which had been made to the
committee. These additional contribu-
tions swelled the total to $979, of which
$439 are in $1 and $2 contributions, and
the remaining $540 in amounts ranging
from $.5 to $20.
We are pleased to state that the Per-
petual Flowering Carnation Society of
England generously sent in a draft for
$10.
These funds were deposited by the
treasurer to draw interest, which up to
date amounts to $39.71, bringing the
total in the fund up to $1,018.71.
The board of directors, at its meet-
ing in Detroit January 12, 1912, dele-
gated J. A. Valentine to secure designs
for a medal, which is to be bought each
yeai* with the interest accruing from
this invested fund. Mr. Valentine sub-
mitted, at the directors' meeting in
Chicago last August, a design from
Henning Ryden, an artist in New York
city, which the board approved, with
instructions that Mr. Ryden be com-
missioned to prepare a set of dies for
striking these medals. The Messrs.
Dorner have agreed to bear the expense
of having these dies made. This mat-
ter was turned over to them for final
execution. The dies have been made
and a 10-karat gold medal delivered
to us.
At this same meeting in Detroit,
Peter Fisher was delegated to devise a
plan for awarding this medal. Mr.
Fisher submitted the following plan to
the board at the Chicago meeting and
it was approved by the board:
"A gold medal will be awarded to
the best 100 blooms of any undissemi-
nated seedling carnation, sports not ad-
missible. The variety must have been
in cultivation not less than three years
and must score not less than eighty-
five points, judged by the American Car-
nation Society's scale of points. The
medal is to be awarded to the origina-
tor, who need not necessarily be the
exhibitor, and can be awarded to the
same variety only once. To be eligible
to compete for this medal, fifty blooms
of the variety must have been shown at
a previous exhibition of the American
Carnation Society in a preliminarv
class, and scored not less than eighty
points."
With this report, the work of this
committee is finished. The fund is de-
posited with the La Fayette Loan &
Trust Co., where it draws four per cent
interest. The committee wishes to

JUDGING AND JUROES.
The judging of as big a show as the
International is a task the magnitude
of which few men appreciate. The
stock being scattered all over an enor-
mous area, arranged for effect instead
of for the convenience of the jurors,
makes an immense amount of running
backward and forward. It is a point
on which previous exhibitions have
been more or less lame and Chairman
Totty determined to have it go better
at New York. He asked Manager
Duckham to have all the competitive
classes ready at 2:30 p. m. on the day
the show opened and appointed Harry
A. Bunyard as chairman of the board
of jurors, which was made large enough
80 that, working in groups of three, the
whole show could be judged by the
time the doors opened to the public.
Mr. Bunyard perfected an elaborate
system of recording the awards, em-
ploying ten typewriters, so that the
moment the messenger arrived with the
last slip from the judges the type-
written lists of awards were ready for
distribution to the press. The system
-worked perfectly. There was no delay
and the work was handled with neat-
ness and dispatch.
The official list of judges, to work in
Bets of three, as shown, was as follows:
Harry Turner, chairman, Yonkers, N. Y.
A. H. Wlngett, Leiiox, Mass.
W. F. Gude. Wkshlngton, D. C.
Lawrence Cotter, Jamestown, N. Y. (chair-
man).

Philip Breltmeyer, Detroit. Mich.
If any judge was not on hand at the
appointed hour, his place was at once
filled and the work proceeded.
The jurors were entertained at supper
by the exhibition directors in the res-
taurant of the Grand Central Palace
after judging had been completed. An
excellent repast was served to seventy-
five gentlemen. At the head table were
J. K. M. L. Farquhar, C. H. Totty, Wil-
liam H. Duckham, Stuart Low, M. M.
De Graaf, W. Wells and H. A. Bunyard.
NATIONAL GARDENERS MEET.
The National Association of Garden-
ers held a special meeting at New York
April 7, President W. H. Waite occupy-
ing the chair. Mr. Farquhar, president
of the S. A, F., was introduced and
made an inspiring address. He was
followed by James Kennedy, president
of the Boston Gardeners' and Florists'
Club, who talked enthusiastically.
Both gentlemen urged the gardeners to
be true to the best traditions of the
craft, to strive for better things, to
hold themselves and their art in not
too low esteem and to demand their
due.
Secretary Ebel announced that the
summer meeting will be held at Bos-
ton in June and the next annual meet-
ing in New York in November in con-
nection with the autumn show of the
Horticultural Society of New York.
Tuesday evening, April 8, the garden-
ers entertained their friends at a
smoker at the Murray Hill hotel, with
an abundance of refreshments and a
fine program.
Wednesday, April 8, the big bowling
tournament was pulled off at Thumm's
alleys, beginning in the morning and
not being concluded until late in the
evening.
AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.
The American Gladiolus Society was
unable to stage any exhibits in the
competitive classes on the schedule, the
blooms not being available at this sea-
son. Several members brought a few
spikes of novelties, but there were no
awards. A meeting was held, at which
it was voted to combine the offices of
financial and recording secretaries and
create a new office of editor of the bul-
letin, to be filled by appointment.
Fulton, HI.— Arthur Still has pur-
chased land on which he will erect

HEAVY LOSSES AT DAYTON.
Flood Reports Still Incomplete.
A member of the Eeeser Plant Co.,
of Springfield, 0., representing the
wholesalers of that city, went to Day-
ton April 2 to offer whatever aid was
necessary to flood sufferers in the trade.
He found that Warren G. Matthews was
the largest loser, his greenhouses, with
20,000 feet of glass, being entirely
washed away. The two downtown stores
of Mr. Matthews were ruined and his
home was flooded above the second
floor. It was thought at first that he
would not be able to stand the physical
strain, but he is recovering and will
get well. His family was saved. Mr.
Matthews' property loss is estimated at
$35,000.
The stores of the Heiss Co., M, & L.
Johnson, J. F. Young, the Advance
Floral Co. in the Arcade and a store in
the Arcade conducted by Greeks were
■entirely ruined, and the losses will
range from $1,000 to $5,000.
The Miami Floral Co. had a narrow
escape. Its boiler pits were flooded and
its fires were extinguished, but the flood
found a new channel before getting in
any destructive work there and the
plant was saved. It is now in opera-
tion.
W. H. Hitter's greenhouses were
hooded by backwater. The damage,
while heavy, will be repaired soon.
The greenhouses of Horlacher, John
Boehner, Schmidt & Son, the Heiss Co.,
the Advance Co., S. H. Bitter and J. H.
Broxey escaped entirely.
Under date of April 5, the Dayton
correspondent of The Eeview wrote
that, owing to the crippled condition of
the telegraph and telephone systems
and the wrecked state of bridges and
tracks, it was impossible then to add
further to the details of the flood that
have been published in The Eeview.

with nearly 150,000 feet of glass, lost
practically everything, being located
near the river, which more than covered
the ridge of their greenhouses. Float-
ing houses, sheds and wreckage crashed
into the glass and there is little remain-
ing of their plant.
Theo. Bock stayed by his greenhouses
while the water was rising. Besting on
an improvised bed on his potting bench,
he watched the water go to within six
inches of the top of the bench. The
stock of all of his houses but one was
covered with water and mud, that one
escaping by only a few inches. Mr.
Bock writes that his plant is just get-
ting dried out, and he makes no esti-
mate of his loss.
The store of W. J. Grey, Jr., was
completely wrecked.
Henry Hesse was above the flood
line, but the bridge over which he must
cross to reach his market went down,
cutting him off for some time.
Jacob Eaquet's range was not
touched and that of Karl W. Heiser es-
caped, although his peony field was
covered.
Devastation in Indiana.
The Eiverside Floral Co., at Muncie,
Ind., was flooded, but the damage was
confined to the rose houses, where the
plants were badly mildewed and prac-
tically ruined. The temperature fell to
38 degrees in the rose houses and 36 in
the carnation houses. The mushroom
beds were under twenty-two inches of
water, but they are still producing good
cuts.
The Muncie Floral Co. was caught
hard, being in direct line of the levee-
break and the range being covered, but
the stock does not appear to have suf-
fered to a great extent.
Simon Humf eld's shrubs and trees
were washed out, his range at Muncie
being covered by four feet of water,
and his residence was damaged.
The greenhouses, dwelling, barn and
hotbeds of Martin Weber, at Brook-
ville, Ind., were completely wiped out.
The family was rescued from the roof
of the dwelling after severe experiences.
Not a thing was left.
Samuel J. McMichael, of Findlay, O.,
lost about everything he owned, his
household goods as well as his stock
being ruined. Mr. McMichael 's loss fol-
lows a recent illness, which confined him
to his bed for five weeks.
Growers Have Narrow Escapes.
Although the tornado and flood losses,
in Terre Haute, Ind., were enormous,
the only loss to the trade reported was
two boxes of glass at the new plant of
Heinl & Weber.
John Adgate & Son, of Warren, 0.,
were affected by the flood, and they
were the only ones in the trade who
suffered loss in the vicinity of Youngs-
town, where all of the growers are
located on high land.
W. C. Scovell, of Malta, O., reports a
loss of about $700 in plants. His green-
houses were flooded for two days.
Fischer & Scheick and John Murchie,
of Sharon, Pa., sustained losses of about
$500 each, the damage being confined
to cut flowers and plants in their stores,
which were covered with five feet of
water.

il CHICAGO SHOW ¥
I HAS EXTRA DAY jl
EXHIBITION OPEN SUNDAY.
Attendance Beaches 77,550.
A fully illustrated account of the first
days of the Chicago spring flower show,
up to the date of publication, was
given in last week 's Keview. The show
closed April 6 with an attendance that
exceeded last year's figures by more
than 30,000 and the Horticultural So-
ciety is well satisfied. The total fig-
ures show that 77,550 people passed into
the show during the six days in which
it was open to the public. Saturday
ran the highest, 22,675 being the num-
ber that visited the exhibit that day.
Sunday was an extra day, and it was
not announced until Sunday morning
that the flowers would remain on ex-
hibition. As a result of adding an-
other day, 22,437 additional people had
the chance to see the display. The
largest day on which admission was
charged was April 4, when the count
showed that over 4,000 out of the 5,367
who visited the Art Institute paid the
nominal fee.
Carnations.
The carnation classes brought out
some keen competition and the prizes
were fairly well scattered, although the
E. G. Hill Co., of Eichmond, Ind., got
the bulk of the blue ribbons on carna-
tions grown for commercial purposes.
In seedlings not yet disseminated the
C. C. Pollworth Co., of Milwaukee, took
two classes, while Avid Andersen and
Patten & Co. captured a bronze medal
each. In the flesh pink the tables were
turned and Pink Delight, grown by E.
G. Hill Co., won first prize, and the
same variety grown by the Chicago Car-
nation Co. took second, with Enchant-
ress from Poehlmann Bros. Co. third.
Last year Pink Delight ran third. White
Perfection, grown by Wietor Bros., was
first in the white, and Scarlet Glow, ex-
hibited by Poehlmann Bros. Co., se-
cured the blue ribbon in the scarlets.
Dark pink was won with Kosette from
the Mt. Greenwood Cemetery Associa-
tion. Light pink went to the E. G.
Hill Co., with Mrs. C. W. Ward as the
winner. Benora, also entered by the
E. G. Hill Co., got first in the white
variegated class.
The awards to commercial carnation

valley and carried away the coveted
prize of the final showings staged April
3. Poehlmann Bros, Co. won on roses

away the first prize with their sweet pea
named Attraction. Other sweet peas
were exhibited. Gustav Swenson, Elm-
hurst, 111., showed a vase of his winter
blooming Spencer called Selma Spencer,

Berwick, Pa. — D. W. Davis has given
up the store he opened last season. He
is favorably located near the center of
town, has an attractive establishment
and found his patrons preferred to trade
there.
Chambersburg, Pa. — Byer Bros, are
in the enviable position of having more
business than they can at times well at-
tend to. The cut flower end is entirely
retail. A big business is done in
rooted cuttings.
South Bethlehem, Pa. — Charles Vor-
keller furnished the bulk of the fine
floral pieces at the funeral of a steel
magnate^ recently. An immense stand-
ing wreath, composed of white carna-
tions, valley and double violets, called
forth much praise.

NEW YORK.
The Market.
Again we have to report a dull and
heavy market. Many wholesalers de-
clared the conditions were even worse
than they were during the week follow-
ing Easter. Receipts were heavy, de-
mand light and prices consequently low.
Nevertheless, there was a fairly good
clean-up on Saturday except as to car-
nations and violets, considerable quan-
tities of which were carried over. Beau-
ties were plentiful and ^ in good condi-
tion. Specials brought 20 cents. Kil-
larneys sold all the way from 50 cents
to $6 per hundred, the bulk of the sales
being at $2 and $3. Lady Hillingdons,
which brought high prices last year,
have became so plentiful that they
liring little more than Killarneys. Sun-
hursts go at $1 to $10 per hundred.
Maids and Brides are at about the same
figures as Killarneys; the top bring a
trifle higher. Carnations are plentiful
and cheap, standard sorts going at 75
cents to $1.50 per hundred and special-
ties being had at $2, though for small
lots of choice flowers up to $.3 has been
paid. Cattleya Schroederee are a little
stronger, bringing from 15 to 30 cents.
Trianae are scarce and good flowers
bring as much as 75 cents. Mossiae are
coming in better and bring about the
same as Trianse. Valley is a little firmer
than last week, 4 cents being obtained
for small lots of long No. 1 flowers.
For the average flowers, 2 and 3 cents
prevail. Tulips are plentiful and cheap,
though the choicest kinds, such as Flam-
ingo, bring as high as 35 cents per dozen.
Narcissus poeticus ornatus sells at four
to six bunches for $1. Few Paper
Whites are shown, southern selling as
low as 10 cents per bunch and sluggish
at that.
Sweet peas have a wide range, the
top price being $1 per dozen biTnches
for long-stemmed Spencer. Violets are
plentiful; the quality has been a little
better during the last few days but
still poor. In small lots as high as 25
cents per hundred has been paid for
choice singles, but by the box $10 per
[ thousand is the ruling quotation. The
market is flooded with lilies and fine
flowers can be had at 3 cents, though
some quote 5 cents for the best. Callas
also are in full supply and sell at 50
cents and $1 per dozen. Some fine an-
I tirrhinum is coming in and goes fairly
well at prices ranging from 25 cents to
$1 per bunch. Phlox is dull and almost
unsalable. Pansies are coming in
freely and sell well but at low figures.
An abundance of mignonette of poor
quality is reported. Lilacs are of good
quality, plentiful and cheap.
The market was deserted April 5
by the proprietors, nearly all of whom
were found at the National Flower
[fthow in the Grand Central Palace.

twenty-three acres in winter sweet peas
at Lompoc, Cal., where he grows them
for seed.
Victor S. Dorval, of Woodside, Long
Island, in discussing the situation from
the growers' standpoint, said that the
glut of cut flowers in the market was
due to the mild weather. "Some grow-
ers complained about the excessive
cold of last season, on account of the
coal burned," he continued, "but, as
a matter of fact, that cold season was
better for growers than the passing
mild one. In seasons like this, the
flowers cannot be held back. They all
bloom at the same time, the market be-
comes glutted and prices drop. ' '
William Kessler had a little flower
show of his own in his Twenty-eighth
street window last week, the star fea-
ture of which was a standard margu-
erite, or Paris daisy, measuring five feet
nine inches in diameter and literally
covered with blossoms. Mr. Kessler
counted 2,400 and then got tired. The
plant was one of an 18-month-old lot
grown by Madsen & Christensen, of
Madison, N. J., some of which took first
prizes at the International Show.
Roman J. Irwin, of 3097 Broadway,
reports an unusually active demand for
commercial cuttings and small pot
plants. His orders have been particu-
larly heavy for chrysanthemums and
3-inch cannas.
William Plumb has been appointed
manager of the Beechwood Heights
Nurseries at Boundbrook, N. J.
A. C, Zvolanek, of Boundbrook, N. J.,
has just returned from his California
branch, and Stopped over in New York
April 5 in time to enjoy the opening
of the National Flower Show.
Moore, Hentz & Nash, F. R.^ Pier-
son and H. M. Robinson & Co. form an
interesting trio, having established their
headquarters on the first floor of the
Coogan building.
The regular monthly meeting of the
New York Florists' Club will be held
April 14 at its rooms in the Grand
Opera House building. There will be
many interesting events discussed, in-
cluding the National Flower Show.
Exhibits of novelties will add to the
interest of the evening, and the house
committee promises a fitting welcome
to all guests who may remain in the
city after the close of the exhibition.
The annual banquet of the Club at
Hotel Astor, April 10, is expected to
transcend all its predecessors in at-
tendance and brilliancy.
Wertheimer Bros, did not enter any
of their recent creations at the Na-
tional Flower Show, for the considera-
tion of the judges, but preferred to
wait for the convention of the S. A. F.
at Minneapolis. The firm's automobile
was kept busy carrying customers be-
tween the Grand Central Palace and
the store.
Louisville, Ky.— Emil Frederick, aged
61, forfiierly a florist here, committed
suicide by shooting himself March 29.
Domestic troubles are said to have
prompted the step. He came to Amer-
ica from Germany thirty years ago. He
was in business at one time at Mount
Sterling, Ky.
Charleston, S. C— Mrs. F. L. Aichele
and her son, F. J. Aichele, are the pro-
prietors of the Carolina Floral Store
and the greenhouse establishment run
in connection with it. They state that
John Salmon, of Baltimore, was not the
purchaser from C. M. Newman, as re-
cently returned in Charleston papers,
as he "merely forwarded part of th<
money for the purchase."

THE TREND OF THE TBADE.
Future of Setail Flower Selling.
I have read with much interest the
article in The Eeview of March 20,
"The Trend of the Trade." In ref-
erence to general conditions existing
with grower and retailer, I regard the
field too great to permit the large grow-
er to retail his own product. Those of
us who daily come in contact with the
grower and with the retail customer are
in position to observe quite a differ-
ence between the two lines. Each one
adapts himself to his own, and I must
confess that the successful retailer
never was cut out for a producer, and
the grower was not cut out to be a
retailer. One of the principal assets
in retailing is personality, the kind that
makes the handling of customers an
art. The successful retailer must be a
good student of human nature. He
must be able to discern whether the
customer should purchase an article for
$2 or $20 and, incidentally, must be
able to do so in a manner that will
give the customer complete confidence.
Conditions and situations constantly
arise that tend to show the difference
between the two lines.
Eetail conditions, from my point of
view, are bound to improve many fold.
We are alive to general business meth-
ods in all other lines and are adapting
ourselves to them, such as constantly
improving the character of our mer-
chandise, seeing that our employees are
capable of giving our customers the
best attention, reaching distances by
utilizing the motor delivery system,
and extending our scope by the use
of the telegraph delivery system, which
has worked wonders for us in develop-
ing new business.
Value of Special Sales.
To my mind, our florist business has
only just started. With little effort,
we can increase our volume of business
by introducing specialties at popular
prices tnat wSl appeal to the masses,
using the newspapers as our direct
mouthpiece to the public. We have
proved to our own satisfaction that,
as long as we maintain our reputation
for honest and fair dealing methods,
we have no difliculty in disposing of
our product, whether flowers or plants.
For instance, when the market is strong
on roses we will introduce a special
sale of roses in baskets, and if it is
strong on flowering plants we will take
advantage of a like condition. Our
object in having these sales is not so
much the long dollar as it is the ac-
quisition of new business. To enjoy
good, healthy condition, every business,
whether flower or merchandise or man-
ufacturing, needs to reach out for new
clientele.
We should be careful to take advan-
tage of new stock, and market it in
such manner that it will reflect good
business returns by way of giving our
customers the benefit of every pur-
chase. Incidentally we should main-
tain our character and tone at high-
water mark, instead of appearing to
conduct our business along the lines of
department store methods. One of our
most valuable assets is our practice of
never permitting a patron to leave our
establishment dissatisfied. Should there
be the least sign of discontent on the
part of a customer, we immediately dis-
patch a new plant or new flowers, as
the case may be, or even refund the
purchase price when advisable. This
plan, constantly and conscientiously
carried out, has materially helped us
to hold new customers. Our motto is,
in this respect, "The customer is al-
ways right, and we are always wrong. ' '
Advertising Is Profitable.
My way to handle the glut in market
conditions would be to induce more
retailers to take up the plan of selling
on a liberal scale, giving the public at
all times the benefit of their buying,
and to hold sales that would do credit
to the craft in general, giving them at-
tractive and dignified publicity through
the medium of newspaper advertising,
never too spectacular. Besult-produc-
ing advertising cannot be handled in a
haphazard manner. Carefully outline
your advertisements, change them often
and be a consistent and persistent ad-
vertiser. Do not advertise two or three
times and then stop. Hammer away
steadily and success will surely crown
your efforts. If necessary, get in touch
with a good advertising man. Don't
think about doing it, but do it and do
it right. We are profitably carrying
on an extensive publicity campaign in
Boston. We use cards in the cars, at-
tractively designed and lithographed in
colors, changing our subjects from six
to twelve times a vear. We also use
billboards and bulletins, displaying ar-
tistically executed announcements
painted four times a year on galvan-
ized iron boards. We make generous
use of printers' ink in the several
newspapers of Boston. From a small
beginning, we are now spending from
$12,000 to $15,000 during the season
on advertising alone. The prospect for
1914 is that we will almost double our
appropriation for publicity, as we feel
justified by the results obtained.
Make (jk)od Your Promises.
Another point that occurs to me as
being wise is to plan special sales,
taking advantage of certain days of the
year, such as May day, St. Valentine's
day, St. Patrick's day, Mothers' day
and the like, as they come along. Make
special effort to do things on these
days and do them well. A series of
advertisements in advance relative to
such days as Easter will produce tan-
gible results. Our recent Easter ad-
vertisements, pointing out that there
would be absolutely no increase of
prices on Easter fiowers and plants,
brought considerable good, healthy
business. In making such announce-
ments, however, you must adhere to
your promises to be successful.
For the man who wants volume, the
conditions in our city are the same as
in all large cities, but if he permits
volume to affect the character of his
shop it can easily lead to the downfall
of his business. We aim for the high-
est standard and try to maintain it at
any cost by handling only the best ob-
tainable and giving the public the
benefit.
Cooperation Among Employees.
Special attention must be given at
all times to window display. Not a
little depends upon the daily showing
that we make in our windows. We
feel tha;t our window is our silent sales-
man and we are particular to a degree
to keep it up to the high water mark
of attractiveness and originality in dis-
play, stock and cleanliness. We also
make it a point to hold flower shows
of our own and advertise them in a
way that has the effect of special sales.
They tend to keep up our standard as
leading florists and are invariably ap-
preciated by the flower-loving public.
Another feature is our special efforts
in advertising our violets. For some
time we have used this one item, be-
cause we felt that it was an article in
most demand and generally used. Our
specializing in violets has kept us be-
fore the public for some years.
An important factor in the success
of our business has been the admirable
cooperation of our employees. We ar-
range a series of dinners for them, we
get the best work and attention out
of each and every one of them, we
keep in general touch with all, from
ottice boy to chief, and the results are
apparent in every department.
I am confident that if these ideas
and rules are adopted and adhered to
the retail florist's business can be con-
ducted with as great success as any
other individual business.
Henry Penn.
THE TEARFUL SWINDLER.
This is written for the purpose of
giving our brother florists some in-
formation which may frustrate any
attempt to play the same game as
was worked in Omaha, Council Bluffs
and Sioux City.
On Saturday, March 22, a well
dressed man, about 45 years old, about
five feet ten inches in height, rather
stout, weighing about 185 pounds and
having a dark but ruddy complexion,
came into our store and, with tears
in his eyes, ordered a wreath, to cost
$12. His "only daughter had died.''
His check for $21.60, signed by James
Morgan, Morgan Court Co., was cashed
and Geo. B. Carter, payee and endorser,
has passed on, probably working the
same scheme in other towns.
We trust that space may be spared
in The Review to mention this.
Bocklin & Lehman.
Columbus, Miss. — The greenhouses of
T. G. Owen were recently visited by
about fifty students from the A. and
M. College at Starkville. The party
was under the guidance of Professor
McKay. The greenhouses, it is said,
now contain more than 200,000 square
feet of glass and the stock comprises
an unusually wide range of varieties.

BOSTON, MASS.
I
Tlie Market.
A little improvement is now notice-
able in the market, due in some measure
to the falling off in supplies of bulbous
stock, violets, etc. Carnations are some-
what better than a week ago. As usual,
the pink shades sell the best. Eosette
is now arriving in extra fine shape from
a number of growers. Eoses are prob-
ably the weakest spot in the market
and are hard to move. There seems to
be a surplus of all sorts, but particu-
larly the Killarneys and yellow varie-
ties. Lady Hillingdon, as seen in the
market, is of excellent quality. Single
violets are practically over; the flowers
are small and off in color, the prices
being advanced as the supply decreases;
doubles are still quite good. Sweet peas
are now coming into their own and with
the passing of violets are in a stronger
position; the finest stock carries 18-inch
to 20-inch stems. Valley has not been
plentiful and has cleaned up well. Bulb-
ous stock is on the decline; the indoor
supply is nearing an end. Spanish Iris
is more abundant. Snapdragons are ex-
cellent, but the demand is slow except
for the pink shades. English primroses
are now overplentiful. Ten weeks'
stocks no one seems to want. Of lilies
and callas there is an oversupply. Adi-
antum is not yet plentiful, but there is
an adequate supply of Asparagus plu-
mosus and Sprengeri.
Various Notes.
The Boston Cooperative Flower Mar-
ket is displaying a beautiful collection
of special prizes for its market exhibi-
tion, to be held April 12. W. H. Elliott,
.Tohn McFarland, J. M. Cohen and
James Wheeler are heads of committees
which are working strenuously for the
success of the show and their labors are
going to be well rewarded.
Scott Foster, of Wamesit, near Tewks-
bury, is a good carnation grower. His
specialties are Beacon, Pink Delight,
Gloriosa, Eosette and White Wonder.
These are now sold at the Boston
Flower Exchange by George Marshall,
who also sells for Lewis Smith, of
Tewksbury.
Henry M. Eobinson & Co. are install-
ing commodious new ice-chests in the
basement of the Boston Flower Ex-
change and hope to move into their new
quarters during the present month.
Penn's windows last week contained
fine displays of hydrangeas and Adian-
tum Farleyense.
Wm. T. Walke, of Salem, is shipping
some good Killarney, White Killarney
and Hillingdon roses to J. M. Cohen at
the Boston Cooperative Market; also
some fine pink snapdragons.
Eemember the club meeting in Hor-
ticultural hall, April 15. There will
be lectures by F. E. Palmer and Wm.
Carswell. We shall also hear echoes of
the New York International Show.
Frank J. Dolansky is cutting as many
as twenty-five to thirty dozen Cattleya
SchroederBB a day, but finds a ready sale
for them. His gardenia crop is begin-
ning to shorten up a little.
Buxton's Killarney Pink snapdragon,
as handled at the Boston Flower Ex-
change by W. D. Hastings, is superb
and there is no wonder that it moves
quickly.
The visitors to the New York show
started to leave April 4. The aggre-
gate attendance from here was several
hundred. About half favored the Fall
Biver and Providence steamers, the bal-
ance preferring the all-rail route.
Arthur Mills, who has been orchid
grower for some time with F. J. Dolan-
sky, has accepted a similar position
with E. B. Dane, Chestnut Hill, Mass.
Mr. Dolansky and his salesman, F. J.
McDonald, are both at the New York
show.
John Walsh, of Melrose Highlands,
former manager of the Park Street
Flower Market and one of the most
esteemed members of the trade, has the
sympathy of a host of friends in the
death of his wife, which occurred
April 1.
The Flower Growers' Sales Co. re-
ports an unusually good call for valley,
sweet peas and roses, shipping orders
for these being numerous.
W. B. Goodenow is having excellent
success with double violets this season
and will be able to pick for several
weeks yet. H. F, Calder, of Norwood,
and J. T. Gale, of Tewksbury, are other
large shippers of these.
W. N. C.
CINCINNATI.
The Oateway to the South.
Local market conditions, as far as
the retail trade is concerned, are rapidly
nearing their normal condition. The
waters have receded and all businesses
in the affected district have resumed or
are resuming operation. The downtown
retail district, which has practically
been deserted for a fortnight, is again
crowded with buyers. Of this general
improvement a liberal share is coming
to the local retailers. The wholesale
market at the time of this writing is
far from resuming its natural stride.
It is handicapped by the poor train
service, both on outbound and incom-
ing trains. It is only to the south that
trains are running on schedule time.
The balance of them must reach the
city by a roundabout way, and it is this
balance that brings in the heavy sup-
ply of roses, as well as carrying a large
quantity of flowers from this market to
out-of-town customers. Some growers
last week tried to get a few shipments
through in spite of conditions; the ship-
ments arrived, but several days late.
Most of the wholesalers who get heavy
supplies from points north and west
have made arrangements with the ex-
press companies that will enable their
stock to come to town promptly.
Business last week was only fair.
Carnations formed the great bulk of the
supply. There were many of them and
they easily took care of all requests.
By the close of the week the market
for them was so easy that sacrifices
had to be made to effect clearances.
The rose supply was short, but there
were no exceptionally heavy calls
upon it.
Other offerings include Easter lilies,
callas, sweet peas, valley and snap-
dragons. The green goods market is
well supplied in every line.
Various Notes.
Advices from Hamilton since the
water has receded state that the Lod-
der greenhouses there were not so badly
damaged as was at first reported. Gus
Adrian, who was there last Thursday,
says that about all the stock was
ruined. The damage to the range con-
sisted of the crushing of three houses
directly in the path of the current.
About twenty feet was taken off the
end of another. In the balance of the
houses about 500 panes of glass were
broken. Directly below the green-
houses, where the ground was formerly
quite low, there has been deposited by
the water enough sand, gravel and
debris to raise a hill about twenty or
twenty-five feet high.
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell left on
the C. & O. at noon Sunday, April 6, to
attend the National Flower Show.
On Thursday, April 3, E. G. Gillett
went to Dayton, O., to look after some
of his and his wife 's relatives who were
in the affected district there. He de-
scribes his impression of the city as
one "destroyed from the second floor
to the ground." Earl Ohmer, his
nephew, and a cousin of Clarence
Ohmer, of West Palm Beach, Fla., did
heroic rescue work at a time when the
waters were the fiercest.
While P. J. dinger was unable to get
his stock into the city, he shipped from
New Castle to' Indianapolis, Chicago
and St. Louis. By the time these notes
are off the press he expects to be get-
ting his stock regularly.
On Tuesday, April 1, L. H. Kyrk
received a shipment of trees from
Maryland that left there March 24.
The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been getting fine Sprengeri from
the south.
Jas. P. Keller, of Lexington, Ky.,
was a caller last week. C. H. H.

Index to Advertisers
Page 130
The great quinquennial exhibition at
Ghent opens April 26.
An English firm has developed a cy-
clamen that has large, bright rosy sal-
mon flowers and foliage that is broadly
banded with silver, a distinct break. The
name is St. George.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
Prepared magnolia leaves are not be-
ing used any less freely this season than
last — rather the contrary — but the pro-
duction has been increased to the point
where an oversupply is threatened.
The decorators have been unable to
get hold of wild smilax for about a
month, but it is expected shipments
from the south will soon be resumed, as
the worst of their floods were before
Easter.
Shippers would appreciate directiona
with the order when the buyer has a pref-
erence as to which express company shall
handle a shipment, rather than a com-
plaint after the shipment has arrived that
the wrong company was used.
It develops that two retail florists are
each spending about $15,000 per year in
advertising, principally in the daily news-
papers of their cities, and that each is
so well satisfied with the results obtained
this season that the expenditures will be
increased for the season that opens in the
autumn.

has a strong standing with its readers,
there you find a publication that brings
excellent returns to its advertisers.
Here are extracts from letters that
show how it works:

CHICAGO.
Tlie Great Central Market.
With more stock on hand than could
ordinarily be handled on this market
under normal conditions, business for
the last week has almost lapsed into
a state of coma through the inability
of the wholesalers to make shipments
to points east and south. The local
wholesalers have been completely baf-
fled in their attempts to combat the
situation, for while the floods appear
to have receded, the damage done to
railroads throughout Ohio, Indiana and
southern Illinois, to say nothing of the
various southern states located on the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, has made
it impossible for the express companies
to operate with the usual dispatch.
Shipments that are consigned to the
affected territories are accepted by the
express companies subject to delay and
at the risk of the shipper. In many
cases where the wholesaler has at-
tempted to get shipments through, the
delays have amounted to from five
hours to two days, while in some in-
stances the deliveries to southern
states could not be made at all and
were returned.
The situation has not been improved
by the warm, sunny weather of the
last week and stock of all kinds is
greatly in oversupply. Thus, with al-
most two-thirds of the shipping terri-
tory cut off and with the great in-

The Florists' Review
A National Flower Show
Every Day in the Year
— ^ .HERE is a display of the nation's
1 I days each year. While the bulk
locally grown, both coasts contri=
best in our store 365
of our great supply is
bute their choicest products to our daily
stock. And the quality is the BUSINESS-
WINNING QUALITY. Retailers make money
handling: our stock.
BEAUTIES
Have your Beauty customers dropped away because you could not get
the grade of stock they required? Well, just send them word that Beauties
are good again, and show them ours. All lengths, and, incidentally, prices
are at a point that lets you make a good profit— it will pay to push our
Beauties now.
FANCY ROSES
It is a fact you easily can prove that, length for length, our Roses carry
larger and finer heads than any others on this market. We ask retailers
to order freely of our roses, for we are certain that these roses will win
friends for us by making friends for those who buy of us,
SWEET PEAS
This is the time of year when you can do a fine corsage business with
our fancy, long-stemmed sweet peas. We have long-stemmed sweet peas
in very large quantity— can fill orders for thousands. The longest stemmed,
brightest colored, special fancy Blanche Ferry and the new winter-blooming
Spencer. You can't get Spencers anywhere else. We are the only source of
supply in this market, so why not order direct?
CARNATIONS
The buyers have found that it's not what you pay but what you
get that determines vaiue. We give value. The more you think about
it the more certain you are to order Carnations of us.

crease in the supply of stock, the mar-
ket is probably bringing less in the
way of returns than it has since the
summer months. Boses are in big
supply and the stock is generally of
good quality. Beauties still are being
cut in quantity, but, though of the
best color, with good, strong stems,
the prices obtained are far below the
usual run. In some cases the dealers
are forced to take what they can get
in order to move them at all. Kil-
larneys are likewise being cut in large
numbers and the local retailers are tak-
ing advantage of the quality and low
prices to advertise sales in the daily
papers. This has helped to some ex-
tent to move off the surplus stock, but
there is still more than enough for the
local demand. Bichmonds are in good
supply, but not nearly so abundant as
the Killarneys and Beauties, while Mrs.
Ward, Maryland, Sunburst and the va-
rious other roses do not appear to be in
full crop at present. However, there
are plenty of these to meet all the
calls. *
Carnations are in big supply and all
colors are being shipped in quantity.
Good stock is scarce, however, as the
warm weather that has prevailed has
not served to improve the quality.
Prices, too, have suffered somewhat
and only on the best do the wholesale
men realize any returns worth while.
Sweet peas have been cut in even
larger numbers during the last ten days
and there are plenty to fill all demands.
Outdoor bulbous stock has been ar-
riving on the market at intervals, but
there is no great amount of satisfac-
tion to be gained, for most of the stock
has been delayed in transit and it is
hard to obtain any first-class stock.
Valley seems to be "getting as good a
call as anything else and the spring
wedding season is undoubtedly aiding
the sale, for there is not any too much
of the high grade valley to be had and
prices are generally firm. Violets are
rapidly decreasing in supply and but
few are good enough to ship.
Various Notes.
Erne & Klingel say the run on roses
has been good during the last week and
they cleaned up unusually well con-
sidering conditions.

Last week John Michelsen, of the E.

flower show trade visitors on a tour of

space to sweet peas.

be done. Conditions are now much im-

south side, five on the north, but only
one heating plant. Mr. Bezdek took
the larger section, paying for the extra
size, and will heat the other range until
May 1, when Mr. Psenicka expects to
have his own boilers working. Both

It sold so much better than was expected
that the First Edition, intended to last
a year, was sold out In eight months.
This Album was published in
response to many requests
from Florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book to be used in taking orders
for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all
cut flower work where it is not practicable to show the customer the finished arti-
cle as it will be when ready for use. With this Album you can show the
finished work, in beautifully printed pictures.
The Album has been THOROUGHLY REVISED for the
Second Edition and contains a large] number of designs
not shown In the wonderfully successful First Edition.
NINETY-SIX PAGES, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beautifully
printed on heavy glazed paper, handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear.

The Market.
After the heavy rains of last week,
the weather has become much cooler
and stock has improved considerably.
Trade has been dull since Easter and
there has been little doing outside
of funeral work. There are few social
functions, so the demand for flowers is
light.
Carnations are unusually good at this
writing, but the supply is meager,
which makes the price stay up. All
kinds of roses are in good condition
and the supply is exceedingly large,
necessitating rose sales occasionally.
The cold weather has helped the qual-
ity of violets a great deal, for they are
still firm and crisp as late in the year
as this. They are decreasing in quan-
tity, however. In flowering plants rose
bushes, spiraeas, hyacinths and a few
azaleas are all to be had. Asparagus
and hardy ferns are plentiful.

Various Notes.
Max Spanner has the sympathy of
the trade in the loss of his father. U.
Spanner, of Cleveland. Mr. Spanner
has had considerable misfortune of late,
this being the second death in a few
months. He lost a son in an auto acci-
dent and the father never fully recov-
ered from the shock.
A new flower shop has opened in the
theater district, next to Keith's vaude-
ville house, under the name of the Art
Floral & Decorating Co. It is in charge
of W. C. Holstein, who has an attrac-
tive shop in what should prove a favor-
able location. Mr. Holstein was with
Max Spanner before opening this shop.
The new firm is a stock company and
incorporated. F. L. P.
PITTSBURGH.
The Market.
While not flooded with water, Pitts-
burgh has been flooded with flowers all
this week. Most of the railroads are
accepting shipments for all points sold
by this city, but trade seems to have
slumped and consignors to this city will
be able to read it in their statements
of returns. It has been so long since
we have had Beauties in quantities that
people seem to have forgotten them.
Violets are faring worse. They are not
good at best and, then, I believe people
are holding spite against them for the
way they acted at Easter, and you can-
not blame them.
The wholesalers are not escaping,
stock of all kinds arriving in quantities
and trade being unusually quiet. The
retailers seem to be busy, but not the
kind of busy that uses any quantity of
stock, so it is safe to say business is
quiet.

He also criticised the salesman who
cannot sell anything and can only give
his customer the same flowers day after
day because the customer does not
know anything else to ask for. He
said the customer is always wanting
something new and will buy anything
the salesman suggests, if properly pre-
sented with a good arrangement of the
flowers. He was complimentary about
the Dutch and Italians, declaring they
have much better taste in combining
colors than we have and that there is
nothing handsomer than the Dutch
mixture, so often ridiculed. These
thoughts were all in connection with
made-up work. His combinations, in
many instances, were striking and,
while he used some that would sound
strange, he always had harmony in his
colors, which is the whole story after
all. His demonstrations were received
with applause.

PHIIiADELPHIA.
The Bising Eastern Market.
The market has rallied during the
week ending April 9. There has been a
slight improvement in business, but
prices have not advanced. The quantity
of flowers coming in has fallen off a
little; the cooler weather has kept the
quality up to the mark and there is
just a little more demand. Sweet peas
are decidedly less abundant; the call
for them is quite brisk. The shortage
in Cattleya Mossise was only for a day
or two; they are now in good supply,
though not nearly so plentiful as Cat-
tleya Schroederse, and command a much
better price. Eoses are good and plenti-
ful. Beauties continue in heavy sup-
ply, with the prices low. Carnations
have fallen off in price and are moving
rather slowly. The cool weather has
kept double violets in good form, par-
ticularly Lady Campbell. Snapdragon
is selling quite well; so are pansies.
Callas improve as their season draws
to a close. There is a fair amount of
stock going out of^town. Southern daf-
fodils are over, b«J[ there are plenty of
fine greenhouse grown Spurs.
An Evergreen Decoration.
A unique decoration arranged and ex-
ecuted by J. J. Habermehl's Sons in
the ball room of the Bellevue Stratford
this season was composed principally of
evergreens. An Italian garden was
paintedi on canvas expressly for the oc-
casion. This painting was used aa a
background for the ball room scene.

The sides of the room were decorated
with choice evergreens in great varie-
ties. Two large boxes, one on each
side of the room, were filled with ever-
greens to represent handsome beds,
such as those seen on the lawn of a
spacious country place. The balconies
and the floor below were adorned with
evergreens, backed by tall marble vases
filled with rhododendrons. Wild smilaz
was freely used above, while the parts
of the floor not intended for dancing
were covered with grass mats. Just a
few azaleas were used to give a touch
of color — so few that they did not de-
tract from the effect of various shades
of green, in striking contrast with the
white vases and balconies.

THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA
ALWAYS ON TOP
Another Victory Won at the
International Flower Show
== In New York — -
APRIL 5tb
APRIL 12tli
From the time our automobile left Philadelphia loaded with the
choicest Florists' Supplies for the show, until our exhibit was
staged, was a series of triumphs. Everybody looked at the hand-
some new car marked for the New York Flower Show as it sped
along. Everybody complimented us on our magnificent display
when our car load of novelties and staples was all in place.
THE FINEST EXHIBIT OF FLORISTS' SUPPLIES WAS MADE BY
H. BAYERSDORFER & CO. "'%r:.D*Sy:?«....

among the first florists in this city
to use a delivery car; he was not satis-
fied with it and later returned to a
horse and wagon, but he now feels that
the improvement in the gasoline car
makes it more desirable than a team
for long-distance delivery.
Sydney Bayersdorfer is in New York,
in charge of his firm's exhibit at the
show. He has a half-dozen assistants.
H. P. Campbell, a well-known florist
of Shamokin, Pa., died April 1. His
funeral took place April 5. Mr. Camp-
bell was successful and highly re-
spected. He had a retail store in
Shamokin and also greenhouses; his
genial disposition endeared him to his
business friends, by whom he will be
sadly missed.
W. E. McKissick, of Washington, D.
C, spent a few hours in this city on his
way to the New York show. Baymond
Kester, now of Indianapolis, Ind., .has
also promised to call on his friends en
passant.
B. Eschner, president of M. Kice Co.,
cabled his safe arrival from Bremen
last week. His company believes there
will be an unusual demand for metal
goods for Memorial day.
Many of our leading men have been
at the New York show this week. They
all speak well of the splendid exhibition
in the Grand Central Palace.
D. L. Edwards, of Bridgeton, N. J.,
was married to Miss McCall at the
home of the bride's parents in Over-
brook, Pa., April 5. You will say that
the bride's name should come first, for
she is -queen of the day, but in this
case the "bHdegroom has floral fame,

The April meeting of the Florists'
(;iub of Washington, held at 1214 F
at^t.jN. W., was given ovwf; mainly
to the making of plans for the attend-
ance by members at the New York
show. Present as a guest of the club
was Eichard Vincent, of White Marsh,
Md., who, in addition to urging a large
attendance in New York, gave consid-
erable information concerning the com-

being done to make this affair a suc-

Kimmel was of the opinion that if the
florists were to do likewise they would
be forced to ask better prices for their
goods and in the end make a larger
margin of profit. This has started
something and other meetings will be
utilized for a discussion of this subject.
The name of T. E. Bessman, of Eiver-
dale, Md., was presented for election
to membership and his application
turned over to Messrs. Mayberry, Ham-
mer and Kimmel for action.
Various Notes.
Business during the last week has
been somewhat slower than could be
expected, but this is accounted for by
the changeable weather and the lack
of entertainments. Funeral work, as
usual, has been good, but there have
been fewer afternoon and evening
events demanding floral displays.
The Washington delegation to the
New York show numbered about thirty,
many of the members leaving on the
special train, being joined at Baltimore
by the contingent from that city. W.
F. Gude and George Cooke were among
the judges.
Plans are progressing for the holding
of the rose show early in May by the
Brookland Citizens' Association in
Lord Memorial hall, Brookland, D. C.

Olio, Mich. — Mary Boyer has again

business about two years ago with a
few hotbeds, now has greenhouses
which cover an area of 2,000 square feet
and is contemplating the erection of
another house. He grows both flowers
and vegetables and finds a ready mar-
ket for all that he can prodnee. There
is a good demand for cut flowers and
designs.

The Southwestern Market.
The local market has been greatly
overcrowded since Easter. The pres-
ent condition of the market is caused
by an overproduction more than by
dull business in retail circles. It
seems that all the shippers to this mar-
ket are on for a great crop at the
same time and the demand, which is
good, is not great enough to consume
the stock that is coming in at the
five wholesale houses. The great bulk
of the stock is of excellent quality and
there was no need of any of our re-
tailers buying from the outside the last
two weeks, prices, of course, suffering
greatly, as the wholesalers were obliged
to cut on thousand lots to rid them-
selves of the great surplus that was
piling up daily.
In looking over the markets April 7,
we find the same -conditions as de-
scribed above at all the wholesale

houses. Easter lilies are selling as low
as $5 and $6 per 100, and callas the
same. Boses and carnations can not
be quoted correctly as to prices, as the
great bulk of the glut lies in these.
Sweet peas and violets are in great
quantities and are also selling at cheap
prices when compared with a few
weeks ago. There is no wild smilaz
in the market. It cannot be shipped
in, owing to the floods. In other greens,
the market has its usual good supply.

AHERICAN SEED TBADE AS80CIATI0V.
Prealdent, Obarles N. Page, Dei Moines, la.;
Secretary-Treaaarer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.
Thlrty-flrat annual convention at Cleveland, June
24 to 26. 1813.
Spinach is not among the scarce items.
In Europe they have a surplus.
The regulation permitting the mailing
of 4-ounce parcels at other places than
the post-office helps some.
The Zach Davis Co., at Delaware, O.,
suffered a seed loss of from $10,000 to
$12,000, caused by the flood.
A CONSTANTLY increasing proportion
of America's requirements in aster seed
is being met with home-grown stock.
The Livingston Seed Co., at Columbus,
O., writes that it lost little as a result of
the flood, its greenhouses being above the
water-covered district.
European seedsmen report a particu-
larly strong demand for the novelty Prim-
ula malacoides alba, for which orders
much exceeded the supply.
German growers of aster seeds are
hoping for something like an average
crop this season, as the 1913 crop was
considerably short of requirements.
An association of south Texas truck-
ers is invoking the aid of the press on
behalf of their crop of Bermuda onions.
An advertising campaign has been begun
in magazines of wide circulation.
The big German seed growers, at Er-
furt and Quedlinburg, report the soil de-
ficient in moisture, as the result of a
winter mild and diy, marked by an al-
most complete absence of snow. Spring
rains were badly needed at the date of
last reports.
LuDwiG Heyn, Darmstadt, Germany,
is this year celebrating his twenty-fifth
anniversary as sole owner of the grass
seed business of world-wide scope con-
ducted under the name of Conrad Appel.
Mr. Heyn is the great-grandson of the
founder, the business having remained
in the same family for four generations.
A CORRESPONDENT of Quedlinburg has
the following to say on the germination
of the German vegetable, farm and flower
seeds in general: "The unusually wet,
cool and dull weather last summer and
autumn, during the time of the develop-
ment and ripening of the seed, prevented
a great proportion of the seed from
fuUy maturing, and, therefore, the ger-
mination is somewhat below that of nor-
mal years. Consequently, to avoid disap-
pointment, sowings should be made more
thickly than usual."
The Ontario Vegetable Growers* Abbo-
ciation has voted to place its seed orders,
aggregating $50,000, with European
growers, whose prices, according to To-
ronto advices, are said to be much lower
than the quotations of Canadian growers.
W. J. Kerr, of Woodroffe, has been ap-
pointed purchasing agent for the entire
membership, which aggregates 1,000. It
is said that in some cases the European
quotations are from 300 to 400 per cent
lower than those given by Canadian
growers.

CABBOT IN CALIFOBNIA.
Last year, owing to the conditions
in France, a considerably larger acreage
than usual of carrot for seed was grown
in California and the following notes
by Frank C. Cuthbertson will be of in-
terest to many:
"Carrot seed does best in the islands
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers, where the soil is either a rich
sediment or peat." The soil being al-
ways moist and there being small
chance of drying out, good crops are
always harvested.
"The seed is sown about June and
most growers like to sow on the peat
land. Earlier sowing than June results
in oversized roots, and oversized roots
are not to be commended for planting.
The roots are ready for lifting in No-
vember, and during the latter part of
that motitit e start is made with plant-
ing, if weather conditions are favor-
able. The roots are lifted and laid out
in rows with the leaves cut off. A care-
ful selection is made of each variety.
When grown in the peat soil the roots
are fully and perfectly developed and
there is no question as to whether a root
is right or wrt)ng. Any off shape or
color can be detected at a glance.
"The ground is marked off in rows
three feet apart by a marker, which,
drawn by two horses, marks three rows
at each journey. It is wonderful what
straight rows can be made by an ex-
pert driver. Many growers cross-mark
the ground as well. This means a great
deal when cultivating time comes, as
the cultivating can be done both ways.
"The carrots are planted three feet

The center rows in this picture are of that beautiful novelty,
Xanthosoma Iliustris, with its beautiful velvety leaves 3 to 9 feet
high, as beautiful as a fancy-leaved Caladium, and much hardier
and more prolific. Strong plants from open ground, $4.00 per 100;
smaller ones at $2.50.
The Caladium Esculeutum on the sides were 8 feet high. We have a few
monster bulbs from them, 12 to 15 in., at 12^c each; 16 to 18 in., at 15c. Fine

STOCK OF FLORISTS' KlDDVirNO IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES
Probably most retail florists know that the ribbon mills have been tied up for months by a bitterly foughtstrike.
Most houses have taken advantage of the situation to raise their prices, but we have not advanced on any of our principal
lines, nor shall we do so as long as our present stocks last. After goods bought under the old conditions are gone, prices
will depend on what the mills do. but for the present we are glad to give our customers the advantage of our freight in

EVERYONE SENDS FLOWERS TO MOTHER
EVERYONE WEARS A WHITE FLOWER IN HONOR OF MOTHER
EVERYONE GIVES A WHITE FLOWER TO SOMEONE ELSE TO
WEAR
In memory of the loving mothers who have passed away, flowers are sent to
every sick room, sanitarium, hospital, almshouse, prison and orphanage.
Any white flower typifies Mothers' Day, although many prefer the white carna-
tion for "Mothers' Day Flower." Its virtues are similar to those of the
Mother. Its whiteness stands for purity; its form, beauty; its fragrance,
love; its wide field of growth, charity; its lasting qualities, faithfulness.

CARROT IN CALIFORNIA.
[Concluded from page 64.]
apart in the rows, except in the case
of small varieties, such as French Forc-
i? g. Three feet each way seems a lot
to g^ve a carrot, but it is, if anything,
too little.
"The planting is generally all fin-
ished by the end of January, and the
carrots immediately commence to make
roots. Cultivating is kept up continu-
ously until growth gets so strong as to
forbid any further horse traffic. Sev-
eral hoeings are given during the sea-
son, but by June the growth forbids
even a man getting about without doing
serious damage.
"It is a fine sight to see a large
patch of twenty or thirty acres of car-
rot in bloom. The growth reaches a
height often of six feet. By August
the seed is ready for cutting. Carrot
seed has always been a difficult one to
harvest, but the Japanese have made
a good tool for the job. A large blade
of iron is securely fastened to a trestle;
on the top of the blade is fastened a
divided lever; the lever is fastened to
one end of the blade. A man pulls up
one or two roots and pushes the heads
over the blade while the lever is held
up. The man operating the lever brings
it down so the heads are chopped off
into a sheet or into a basket. Imagine
the blade of a pocket knife fastened
to a trestle and the handle the lever,
and a fair idea of the principle of the
tool can be grasped-
' ' After being cut the heads are taken
to the drying sheets. The sheets are
40x40 and the heads are piled about
three feet thick. The heads are turned
daily, sometimes twice daily, and in
three days during fine weather are
ready for threshing. The condition is
carefully watched so that the 'sticks'
do not get too dry. The threshing is
done by two horses and a wooden roller.
After they have trotted over the heads
for half a day, the rough sticks, etc.,
are thrown off and the seed loosened
up a bit. The seed is then thoroughly
dried for another day, being turned
over several times. The horses and
roller work a few more hours to * beard '
the seed. There is usually about 1,500
pounds to each sheet. After the * beard-
ing' operation the seed is sifted through
large sieves and then roughly milled.
It is then taken to the cleaning ware-
house and carefully milled. Everyone
knows how difficult it is to clean carrot
seed; in fact, it is an art. No matter
how good the mill is, the man in charge
must use his brains to get a good sam-
ple. With the modern arrangement of
the mills, including the dust room, the
disagreeable dust has been confined, so
that the cleaning of carrot seed is a
much better job for the mill attendant
than it used to be.
"The same varieties of carrots popu-
lar in Europe are grown in California,
but perhaps not so many. Danver's
Half Long is the most popular, with Ox-
heart a close second. One is surprised
to find Scarlet Horn only about a poor
third, but French Forcing is popular.
Other varieties grown in quantity are
Red St. Valery, Chantenay, Long
Orange, J^antes, Intermediate, Short
White and White Belgian. When a row
of Danver's or Chantenay carrots are
dug from the peat land and laid out
for selecting, the sight would make
many of the leading exhibitors of veg-
etables in England green with envy."

LILY BULBS
There are more men ruined in x
a day by adventurous trading
than in all the gambling houses
in the world in a week.
Why risk your business? Sit
down and figure it out. Suppose
you do get an allowance from
allowance-makers for poor lily
bulbs.
Who is to help you fill orders?
Who's to hold your steady trade?
Allowance money won't do it —
but your competitors will. Who
will pay your normal profits over
the flowering period? Have you
ever thought of that?
Any allowance that a poor busi-
ness man might make you for bad
lily bulbs won't begin to pay for
your loss from bad lilies.
Florists in the United States
have made more money in the last
five years by using Horseshoe
Brand lily bulbs than they made
in the previous ten years. They
are absolutely the very best that
can be obtained. Send for the
Book of Bulbology — out this
month.

LOUISVILLE, KY.
The Market.
The market has been unsettled dur-
ing the last ten days, owing to the
flood situation. It has been utterly
impossible to get express in from Chi-
cago, as there has been no train service
between that city and Louisville.
Boses, in the longer grades, have been
particularly scarce. This is also true
of Beauties. A few growers had a lot
Of bulbous stock, which helped the
situation wonderfully. Sweet peas are
in fine shape. There is also a limited
quantity of snapdragon coming in.
Various Notes.
Anders Easmussen and wife are at-
tending the National Flower Show at
New York.
It has been reported that Mrs. C. W.
Beimers is going to locate at Fourth
avenue and Broadway in the near
future. This section of the retail dis-
trict has made wonderful progress dur-
ing the last few years.
Beutel & Frederick reported their
best Easter trade.
All of the downtown stores report
business as fair, considering weather
conditions.
The monthly meeting of the Ken-
tucky Society of Florists was held at
the store of Secretary A. B. Baumer,
April 2. A paper on combined adver-
tising was read by Mr. Baumer.
John Hettinger, foreman for Jacob
Schulz, is supplying the store with well-
grown Tausendschons, which are find-
ing ready sale.
F. Walker & Co. have been display-
ing pretty hydrangeas. G. E. S.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Business has been quieter during the
last week, although funeral orders
have been exceptionally heavy. Choice
violets, roses and carnations are com-
ing in and are selling well. Bulbous
stock is practically over, with the ex-
ception of a few daffodils. Two or
three department stores are advertis-
ing cut flowers cheap, which materially
affects the retail florist.

SWEET POTATO PLANTS.
We find there is quite a demand for
sweet potato plants in our locality in
the state of Washington and shall ap-
preciate your courtesy if you will tell
us how to get them started. W. F. C.
Sweet potatoes are tender and can-
not be set out any earlier than tomatoes.
A hotbed for sweet potatoes can be
made the same as for other purposes,
but we prefer a deep one, a dug-out or
pit, made by digging a hole about eight-
een inches deep and a trifle larger than
the size of the frame. This trench we
fill with fresh horse manure which has
been hauled up previously and turned
and well shaken up once or twice. The
manure is tramped into the pit until it is
well filled and well packed. Then the
fr£une is placed on top, and more ma-
nure packed all around it to keep it
warm around the sides and ends. If
the manure is not good the hotbed will
be a failure, but we are presuming that
the inquirer knows something about hot-
beds. If the manure is burning dry, it
needs a light watering, or it will be
ruined.
After placing the frame on the ma-
nure, spread about an inch or two of
sand on top of the manure, put the sash
on, and wait to see how it is going to
act. In a few days the temperature
will run high, and the potatoes should
not be put in until the temperature of
the manure falls back to about 90 de-
grees. To get the temperature, put the
thermometer well down into the manure.
When the bed is ready to plant, place
the sweet potatoes on the sand as closely
as they can be laid without touching
each other. Put sand on top of them
until they are completely covered over.
Then sprinkle the sand and put the
sash on again. Ventilate the bed each
day, according to how bright and warm
or windy the weather is, and water
when needed to keep the sand moist.
Do not open too much. Close them up
early in the afternoon, so as to ran the
bed warm.
When thfe plants are up large enough
to sell, a sash is lifted off and the plants
pulled off by holding the sand and the
potato down with one hand and catch-
ing hold of the sprouts, low down in

the sand, with the other hand. They
pull easily, and the old sweet potatoes
will keep on producing more such
sprouts or plants until late in July.
Take the plants to the shed, count them
out in bundles of fifty or 100, and roll
them up in sphagnum moss and papers,
like rooted cuttings. They do not keep
well and should be planted out soon.
It is best not to pull them until the
customers want them. It is well to
have the bed come on early enough, as
they can easily be held back by giving
more ventilation if they are ready a
week or so too early. We have seen the
first batch pulled and thrown away
when entirely too early.
Where sandy soil is to be had, sweet
potatoes pay much better than Irish po-
tatoes, and the growing of the plants in
such a locality is profitable at 50 cents
per hundred. In sandy fields it is best
not to plow the soil first, but simply to
throw up ridges on the uncultivated
soil. These ridges for the rows should
be three feet apart, and the plants
should be set eighteen inches apart in
the row and watered immediately. If

these ridges are thrown up about eight
inches above grade and the trenches be-^
tween are as far below grade, the ridges
will seem sixteen inches high. If the
ground is too loose under the ridges, the
roots will go down too deep and be
inclined to make long and slim instead
of short and fat sweet potatoes.

OUTDOOR VEGETABLES.
Please tell me whether I can grow
celery on new ground. I have about
five acres of pasture, low ground that
never has been plowed. I thought of
breaking it this spring and planting
part of it with celery, onions and win-
ter cabbage. In this Iowa climate, if I
sow the celery seed in the last week of
March, in a hotbed, will that be early
enough so that I can set the plants out
in time. I want the celery to be early,
so I can sell it before winter comes. I
have White Plume, Golden Self -Blanch-
ing and Winter Queen celery.

The Market.
A reduction in the amount of funeral
work caused a slight falling off in busi-
ness the early part of April; consequent-
ly the cheaper grades of stock piled up
a little and even the best bulbous plants
went back a few points in price. At
times there was an oversupply of even
the best greenhouse carnations, but good
roses have held their own all through.
The first Spanish irises appeared April
1 and were of superb quality, especially
the golden yellow types. Freesias are
declining. Tulips are plentiful, and so
Are daffodils. Golden Spur has passed
out and Emperor has taken its place
this week. Orchids are again on the
scarce side and there has been a brisk
demand. Price cutting among the
wholesalers in greens has gladdened the
hearts of the retailers.
Mr. Felgate Addresses Society.
The monthly meeting of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society
was held at Kruckeberg's hall April 1,
with President Winsel in the chair. On
the table was a vase of choice Narcissus
Weardale Perfection, exhibited by
Austin Campbell Johnston. This is a
frand variety with immense flowers and
ne stems, the coloring under the arti-
ficial light being a good deal like that
of Empress, It is not new, but a fine
form.
W. W. Felgate, of Sierra Madre, ex-
hibited a pretty bunch of varieties of
Pyrethrum roseum, single and quilled,
and some good ranunculuses. Mr. Fel-
gate was also the speaker of the even-
ing, his paper on the culture of annuals
being well received. He pointed out
the importance, first of all, of good seed,
and followed with a practical and thor-
oughly interesting r6sum6 of the various
cultural points, including sowing, trans-
planting and the preparation of the
soil. A frequent mistake, Mr. Felgate
pointed out, was the spading-in of raw
manure in place of thoroughly incor-
porating it with the soil. The discus-
sion that followed brought out many
interesting points not usually thought
of in connection with annuals. Mr.
Felgate is successful with these at Dr.
Barlow's pretty place in the foothill
town.
Two Busy Firms.
Calling at the Dieterich & Turner
i-ange recently, I had a look around the
new quarters for the help, as well as
Mr. Turner's new garage. They are a
splendid addition and will enhance the
comfort of the men. The rose stock
looks healthy — big blocks of Killarney
Queen, Sunburst and all the popular
kinds, as well as smaller lots of the
novelties. A batch of young plants of
the new Bamona outside was a mass of
flower, though the stock was only a
few inches high. Such a glorious mass
of color surely should convince the
"doubting Thomases," if any still re-
main, as' to the value of this fine nov-
elty. Mr. Turner reports a big demand
for Prima Donna. ^A^iot^^^-tSS, JS2i^,
r<R)t house IS to be added this year.
Large numbers of vegetable plants
are being shipped in to the store of the
Germain Seed & Plant Co. from the trial
grounds on the Whittier road, and the
demand for them is heavy. The quality
of the pansies grown by this firm is
attested by the immense demand for
plants, which taxes the staff to the
utmost. For many years this strain has
been improved and worked up, and now
there is nothing in the trade to beat it.
A departure here is the publication of
a four-page paper sent out to customers
and anyone else who needs it. A num-
ber of seasonable articles and other

Mrs. Garrett, of Eagle Bock, is well
known as a grower of fine bulbous and
other stock for this market, and I re-
cently had the pleasure of a glimpse at
her charming home place and the com-
mercial end of the garden. About 400,-
000 bulbs of Golden Spur, Emperor, Sir
Watkin and other daffodils, Spanish
irises and gladioli are grown, besides
about 40,000 chrysanthemums in the
season. Although Mrs. Garrett original-
ly went into the growing of cut flow-
ers as a means of regaining her health
and living in the open air, she has made
a great success of it, both culturally and
financially, everything being done on
systematic, practical lines.
By careful planting the commercial
part has been kept well away from the
home garden proper, and this is beauti-
fully kept and well planted. A stony
soil of only a few inches over rock and
the shade of eucalyptus trees seems
almost -an impossible combination, but
by means of planting German irises,
poppies, freesias and others, Mrs. Gar-
rett has turned this part into a beauti-
ful wild garden. Then there are ter-
races planted to herbaceous and other
subjects, a pretty pergola with climbing
roses, green lawns, and every nook and
corner planted to something well chosen.
The home stands well up, commanding
a view of the beautiful Eagle Rock val-
ley and foothills. It is altogether a
charming home and a great credit to

H. N. Gage left for a business trip to
various points in Arizona April 1.
Charles Winsel has put on a new auto
•lelivery truck, this being necessitated
by the increasing business at his store
and the home place on Washington
Itreet.
J. Dielerich has a large new lath
liouse under way at Montebello, on the
property recently acquired by him north
of the Dieterich & Turner place.
Ye Abbey Flower Shop is the name
of a new store opened by Mrs. Avery in
the Abbey hotel, now almost complete,
at Eighth and Figueroa streets. The
store has a doorway leading right into
the hotel lobby, and it looks like a good
location. This section of the city is
building up rapidly with good business
and residence property.

exceptionally good. The quality of the
Oesneriana tulips here is especially fine.
J. W. Wolters has been carrying out
a series of decorations at the California
Club that has kept the force busy. Mr.
Wolters has been suffering from a bad
siege of lumbago.
C. E. Morton is a busy man these
days, moving off the immense shipments
of bulb stock arriving from his growers.
The tulips coming from the Wilmington
ranch have the genuine Brazee stamp.
Tassano Bros, have opened a whole-
sale store at Lick place, San Francisco.

H. K. Richards.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
The Market.
San Francisco was treated the last
week to several showers of rain, which
went a long way toward putting every-
one in good humor. Flowers of all
kinds are plentiful again. Even Easter
lilies are more in evidence than they
were two weeks ago. Roses are now
well advanced on the spring crop and
the quality is good throughout. Carna-
tions lowered somewhat in price in the
last week and moved well. Outside
bulbous stock is scarcer. Narcissi are
practically over, with the exception of
the late blooming yellow daffodils.
Freesias and early tulips have given
way to late flowering Gesnerianas, and
although these do not seem to sell as
well as they did one year ago there is
no stock thrown out. The growers did
not plant as heavily of this sort this
season as they did in former years. Val-
ley moves well. Spanish iris and a few
other hardy bulbs help. to keep up the
show. Violets are good, but they are
nearing the end of their season. Other
lines of stock do not show any particu-
lar change, with the possible exception
of sweet peas, and they are cheaper and
better. Business is not brisk, but an
improvement may be looked for at any
time.
Various Notes.
James Rolleri, of the California Ever-
green Co., has returned from a short
trip to Los Angeles and vicinity.
The florists of the bay cities have
subscribed over $500 for the relief of
the Ohio sufferers in the recent floods.
The Flower Lovers ' show, given under
the auspices of the California State
Floral Society, was a big success in at-
tendance and in quality of exhibits.
The flowers and plants shown were prin-
cipally from private gardens in and
around San Francisco. E. James, of
Elmhurst, had the finest showing of
potted ferns.
There is a movement on foot to pre-
vent the street hucksters of flowers and
other poods from using the sidewalks
for their displays. The measure, which
is favored by all the stores, has been
attempted before without success. G.
SEATTLE, WASH.

side narcissi are coming in. Most of
the forced stock is over, but tulips are
still selling well. Good pot plants are
scarce. Bedding plants are making their
appearance, but the frost at night
should prevent much planting for some
time yet. The seedsmen are having a
brisk time filling orders and the nursery-
men all report good business.
Various Notes.
Victor Anderson, foreman at the
Hollywood plant of the Hollywood
Gardens, is in the Seattle General hos-
pital recovering from an operation for
appendicitis. At last accounts he was
getting along nicely.
Judging by the appearance of the
roses at the plant of Eosaia Bros, at
Thomas, it is not so much a question
of climate as has generally been stated
here. The appearance of the plants
leaves nothing to be desired and the
quality of the blooms at present being
cut would be hard to beat. Probably
it is more a question of painstaking
cultivation, which these roses evidently
have received, than it is climatic con-
siderations that tend to make profit-
able the growing of roses under glass
here.
Cucumbers are now occupying the at-
tention of many of our growers and ap-
parently a larger space of glass is being
devoted to them than ever before. E.
C. Calloway, at Bellevue, and Eisdon's,
at Brighton, have commenced cutting,
but the majority are much later.
So far we have had a dry season and
the ground is in fine condition for field
planting of carnations. Some growers
are busy planting, but the frosty nights
do not improve the appearance of the
young stock.
A. B. Matthiesen has had bad luck
with his carnation plants this year and
to cap the climax a marauding cow got
into one of his houses and cleaned up
about 1,500 potted stock this week.
T. W.
PORTLAND, ORE.
The Market.
Business is holding up remarkably.
While there is a good supply of stock
coming in, there seems to be no surplus
in any line. While carnations are in
heavy cut, there always seems to be a
way to use all accumulations. Eosettes
have proved up wonderfully and bid
fair to be a popular variety. With the
advance of spring weather the rose crop
has improved rapidly. Maids and Brides
are producing elegant stems and flow-
ers. Eichmonds, feUarneys and Gates
are also having a fine cut.
Tulips and hyacinths are almost out
of the market. We are as anxious to
see them go as to come. Daffodils are
plentiful. Outside stock is coming in,
but is badly injured by recent rains.
There seems to be a scarcity of potted
plants, especially of the smaller type.
Hydrangeas seem to be plentiful, but
for some reason are slow to move.
Various Notes.
M. Davis has opened a store at 245
Alder street.
Carl Taube has given up his store on
Morrison street, finding it not a profita-
ble venture.

business reside in San Francisco. Mr.

The Florists^ Review
Ap^il 10, 1018.
A QUARREL between two Huntsville
Nursery employees, Huntsville, Ala., re-
sulted in the fatal stabbing of Charles
Jones by Peck Sanderson, the latter mak-
ing his escape.
W. D. Gripfing, of Griffing Bros. Co.,
the nursery firm of Port Arthur, Tex.,
delivered an instructive address on shade
trees at a recent meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce of Beaumont, Tex.
The nurseries in the vicinity of Boston
have had planting operations in full
swing for some days, frost having gone
out of the ground about March 17. There
are high hopes of a long season. Plenty
of business is in sight.
The Galloway Bro8.-Bowman Co., of
Waterloo, la., have purchased the output
of several nurseries at Tippecanoe City,
O., which is in the flood zone, and being
unable to get any word from there they
are anxious about their supply.
J. B. MxnR has established a nursery
at East Des Moines, la., and is carrying
a stock said to be valued at $50,000. Mr.
Muir is a large property owner in East
Des Moines and in the last four years he
has built upward of 100 residences there.
C. L. Shell, of Georgetown, Tex.,
will build another greenhouse this sum-
mer. He is both nurseryman and florist
and reports his Easter trade all he could
handle. In renewing his subscription to
The Eeview, Mr. Shell says: "I con-
sider this the best invested dollar I
ever spent."
A. L. WiSKER, who has charge of the
orchards for Winchell & Blair at Grass
Valley, Cal., announces that he will estab-
lish a nursery in connection with the busi-
ness, and already 10,000 young trees have
been received for the purpose. It is esti-
mated that the nurseries of Nevada
county will set out 150,000 trees during
the year.
HABASSMENTS.
The federal quarantine law is prov-
ing in every way as cumbersome and
objectionable as the most pessimistic of
nurserymen had feared. Taking this in
addition to the multiplicity of state in-
spection laws, requirements for permits
and licenses, and the nurseryman doing
an interstate business feels that the
height of harassment has been reached
and that conditions must become less
burdensome than they now are. It has
become so bad that no nurseryman can
see a box or bale go into interstate
commerce with any assurance that some
one of the infinitude of details has not
been overlooked and will result in the
loss of the stock. The worst of it is
that the restrictions which now sur-
round the shipment of nursery products
are so complicated that the employees
of transportation companies, which also
are amenable to the laws, do not know
whether or not the exactions have been
met and are as likely as not to hold up
shipments on which every requirement
has been complied with.
While the nurseryman is exercising
patience and hoping for the turn of^ the
tide, he can console himself with the
thought that really it is not the nur-
series that spread plant disease, and
that, while the nursery trade suffers the
greatest inconvenience, the real cul-
prits are the 'property owners who sell
no trees but who neglect to keep their
places clean.
E. H. WILSON'S NEW ACTIVITIES.
Koswell H. Wilson, w|io conducted
for thirty-five years the Pioneer Nur-
sery jit Monrovia, Cal., selling the busi-
neas'^in 1910 to the Pioneer Nursery
Co., of which A. Foster is president, has
invested $50,000 in three tracts in the
San Luis Eey valley and in coast lands
at Carlsbad, in addition to land at
Oceanside, Cal. The valley lands will
be devoted to deciduous trees and the
Carlsbad holdings to citrus stock.
Within a year Mr. Wilson expects to
have 100,000 nursery trees in the ground
in the Osborn tract. In the valley
lands he has 50,000 young apple and
pear trees, with 20,000 cherry and other
trees in the sheds ready for planting.
He also has 10,000 quince cuttings and
pits for 2,500 peach trees, as well as
30,000 grape cuttings and plums, per-
simmons and figs.
Mr. Wilson is installing an irrigation
plant on the Osborn tract, where most
of the planting to date has been done.
Oceanside will be his headquarters and
shipping point.
TIME TO TBIM FBIVET HEDGES.
When is the proper time to trim a
privet hedge and plant the cuttings so
they wiU grow? The hedge is now
putting out green buds. I would thank
you for an early reply. E. W. P.
Summer is the proper time to trim
privet hedges. The most compact
hedges should have two trimmings, one
about the end of June and the second
early in August. This will make a
dense hedge. If one shearing only is
given it should be about the middle of
July. If your hedge needs heading
back, however, you can do it now, be-
fore growth starts.
Cuttings taken off now will not root
so well as those that are taken just be-
fore winter, cut in lengths of six to
eight inches, tied in bundles and buried
in the ground over winter. In spring
these can be taken up, set in nursery
rows four to eight inches apart and
well firmed. Leave sufficient space be-
tween the rows to permit cultivation.
Most of the wood of the cuttings should
be below ground. While short pieces
will grow and produce plants, cuttings
five to six inches long are a suitable
size to handle; I would prefer not to
have them over eight inches. Of
course, well ripened wood must be used.
Before burying the shoots, remove any
leaves that may be on them. C. W.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN TABIFT.
The new tariff jbill introduced in Con-
gress April 7 continues evergreen seed-
lings on the free list as heretofore, but
does not define them by putting on an
age limit, as was asked by the tariff
committee of the A. A. N. when it
visited Washington recently. The prin-
cipal change proposed is a reduction
of forty per cent in the duty on stocks,
cuttings and seedlings not specially
provided for in the act. The compari-
son of the present and proposed rates
is as follows:
Article. New rate. Old rate.
Stocks, cuttings or seedlings

or Mazzard cherry, Manettl

men's Association that will be of gen-
eral interest.
In discussing the labor problem, A.
I. Smith, of Knoxville, Tenn., said in
part that it always pays to recognize
helpers of long experience, especially
foremen of the different departments,
by giving them an interest in the busi-
ness. A partner will always take more
pride in his work. The more of the men
employed about a place that have an
interest in the business the better work
there is likely to be done. It also pays
to recognize these department heads
in the catalogue, for it makes them
feel that the public holds them per-
sonally responsible for the work they
do. He also spoke of the short-sight-
edness of the policy that introduces
novelties that are of no better quality
than the old standard varieties — that
are only novel in the high prices asked
for them. This policy never pays in
the long run.
Henry Chase, of Chase Bros., Hunts-
ville, Ala., said that to avoid getting
varieties mixed they use every precau-
tion to prevent scions and buds being
mixed anywhere. They keep a bud and
scion book that shows the source of
every bud and scion on the place, tells
how and where it is packed and all
other details that might be an aid in
preventing mistakes. They use labels
freely as they graft and plant, to keep
things from becoming mixed till per-
manent labels can be set. Another
book is kept in which the fields are
plotted so carefully that if the labels
)n the field should become disarranged
in cultivating they easily can be put
^ack in their proper places. In dig-
ging they us^ labels freely and never
fP /°to the field without tarpaulins
tnat have been well soaked in water,
^ne roots are covered by these as soon
as dug and are kept covered until they
dre taken to the packing sheds. They
eep a third book where the quantity
'r stock on hand is carefully recorded,
^tock 18 counted frequently, to prevent
disappointing customers. They have a
ITinted card that they send to aU in-

Mr. Hilton, of Knoxville, Tenn., said
that it always pays to treat helpers
well. It pays to see that their houses
are kept painted and in good condition,
and to see that they are provided with
plenty of plants and flowers to make
them attractive. When the employer
returns after a few days' absence it
pays to greet every employee with a
hearty handshake and a cordial irquiry
after his family. "Take time to visit
your laborers in their homes and take
a Teal interest in their affairs," ne.
said. "These things will go far toward
providing a better class of help."

Serving Apples. ' ' A copy of this leaf-

There are now 352 inspected nurseries

HARDY PERENNIALS.
The most complete collection of varieties
and the largest stock in the country. Our
Perennial plants have a national reputation. We spare no expense to have them in
the best possible shape for the planter. Such varieties as move better when pot-
grown are prepared in this shape. This does not mean little seedlings but in the
juajority of cases the plants were 6eld-grown, were dug and potted during the fall
and winter months, and are just the right size to give immediate results. They are
not to be compared with so-called field clumps. Try them and be convinced. See
our current wholesale list for varieties and prices.

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME
|HE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all the vigor and freedom that dis-
tinguish its parent. Color a light salmon pink — a color that is not only very attractive,
but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without bleaching. A good all-round
Carnation that retains its color at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of the
parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown no inclination to be a burster. The
weak points of Enchantress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four years'
duration convinces us of its great value.

LANCASTER, PA.
The last meeting of the Lancaster
County Florists' Club took the form,
partly, of a trip to the greenhouse es-
tablishment of W. B. Girvin, of Leola,
Pa. A carload of florists left Lancaster
for Mr. Girvin 's at 4:30 p. m. After an
inspection of this modern range and a
little time to recover from the shock of
seeing so many chrysanthemum cuttings
at one place, the party returned to the
city for the evening meeting of the
club.
Considering the closeness to Easter,
the attendance was phenomenal. After
the reading and discussion of a paper
by Ira Landis, of Paradise, on soils,
Prank Kohr, of Dillerville, told us, in
a well written paper, how the club had
benefited him and how it could be made
of further benefit to us. Cooperative
buying was discussed at some length
and a free discussion was urged on all
subjects.
The president urged every member of
the club to attend the National Flower
Show, a one-day trip being feasible
from this city by an expense of $15 or
as much more as the party desired to
spenh; and some twenty have expressed
their intention of going.
At our next meeting, April 17, we ex-
pect to have S. S. Pennock, of the Pen-
nock-Meehan Co., tell of some of the
faults of the consignors in dealing with
the commission houses, this being a
phase of the subject not often enough
dwelt on. A. M. H.
El Paso, Tex. — Charles Anders is now
proprietor of the Texas Floral Co., hav-
ing purchased the business from P. C.
Pappas. ^
Lawton, Okla. — Prompt action in
confining a fire to the boiler room
probably saved the greenhouses of the
Wallace Hornaday Co. The fire depart-
ment was called out and there was
little damage outside of that one room.
The stock was uninjured.

My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON
is reaching every part of the globe. It is traveling upon its record and good looks, and
has more admirers than all other antirrhinums combined. There may be an occa-
sional pleasing sport, but aside from this, seedlings will have every characteristic of
their illustrious parent— the FAMOUS SILVER PINK. It is a dUtinct type, and
is best described by the original name that we grave it. Its soft, silvery shade of pink is nbt found in
any other flower, and is at its best in full sunshine, both indoors and out. Silver Pink has an estab-
lished record. Plant it and you will have the best. It is truly a hish-class nov«ltyi and we offer
it at small cost.
Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 600 seeds; 8 packets, |2.50. delivered.
Can still supply plants for bedding at $3.00 per 100. 200 for $5.00, by express. Cash must accompany

KANSAS CITY, MO.
Tlie Market.
Spring is here and the weather in gen-
eral is fine, the warmth bringing the
shrubbery and trees along rapidly.
Lilacs are in leaf and peach trees in
bloom, and some shade trees have
started to leaf. Business for last week
has been moderate, funeral work taking
the lead by a large margin. Decorating
picked up last week. There is an over-
supply of carnation stock. White is
the only kind moving to any extent,
while there are some fine red and pink
that are hard to move, even at a low
price. Roses are more plentiful, and
the market here just about cleans them
up. The medium grade ones are the
best sellers. Cut lilies are not moving
so fast as was expected. Activity in
other bulbous stock is only fair. Jon-
quils, daffodils and pink double tulips
have the best of it in the bulb line.
Sweet peas and snapdragons are com-
ing in, but the sale is not up to ex-
pectations.
Various Notes.
S. B. Ayres told the school board
at the special meeting, April 5, that he
would give it 25,000 packages of flower

THE NICOTINE SUPPLY.
The unique value of nicotine as an
insecticide has largely increased the
demand for it. In consequence, great-
er attention is being paid to the cul-
ture of the tobacco plant, which re-
mains the only source of this alkaloid.
So much is this the case, that in Swit-
zerland the plant is now cultivated
solely for its nicotine, and an example
is afforded of what was formerly an
unimportant by-product becoming in its
turn the principal manufacture. Nico-
tine is present only in traces in the
young seedlings, but the amount in-
creases steadily as growth takes place,
until about the middle of September
the leaves contain nearly five per cent
of the alkaloid. At this stage the crop
is gathered. The leaves only are used
for the extraction of the nicotine, the
rest of the plant being wasted. Ee-
cent analyses of this residue indicate
that a good deal of valuable alkaloid is
thrown away, the stalk and roots both
containing nearly one-half of one per
cent of nicotine, and there is as much
as 1.27 per cent in the lateral shoots.
Some simple process of extracting the
alkaloid from the waste product is re-
quired, which at the same time leaves
the residues available as fertilizers.
The history of efforts to increase the
amount of a particular substance in a
plant by careful selection encourages
the hope that similar success will at-
tend the efforts now being made with
nicotine. J

BEGONIA MANICATA.
At the time of the begonia confer-
ence, held- at Chiswick nearly twenty-
one years ago, Begonia manicata was
included among the best fifty species of
begonia by Mr. Watson, of Kew, in his
paper on the subject. Many begonias
have been introduced since then, and
garden forms innumerable have made
their appearance, but there can be no
question that B. manicata of- the true
species is still fully entitled to the posi-
tion in which it was then placed. Many
would go even further, and, from a
flowering point of view, include it in
the first twelve. Given a warm or in-
termediate temperature, this species
will bear during the winter a profusion
of light, elegant blossoms. It forms a
short, stout stem of a somewhat succu-
lent nature, while the large, solid-look-
ing leaves are of a smooth, shining
green tint. The stalks are long and
conspicuous, by reason of being clothed
with large, scale-like hairs. The flower
scape is quite erect, and reaches a
height of two feet to three feet, the
upper half consisting of the loosely dis-
posed flower panicle, which branches
freely and bears a great number of
small but pretty pink blossoms. For
grouping purposes in the early months
of the year it is extremely useful, and
is pretty as a decorative flower. Some
forty years ago it was extensively
grown by the late Hermann Herbst, of
Richmond, for the supply of cut flow-
ers, which at that time found a ready
Bale in Covent Garden.
The typical Begonia manicata is a
native of Mexico, and was introduced
as long ago as 1842. There are two
well-marked varieties of it now in culti-
vation— one, aureo-maculata, the leaves
of which have large blotches of a
golden yellow tint; and a singular form,
crispa, the foliage of which is remark-
ably crimped and crisped. This last is
more curious than beautiful.
The cultural requirements of Begonia
manicata are not at all exacting, as it
is of vigorous growth and will thrive
in ordinary potting compost. Insect
pests, too, give no trouble. It is strict-
ly of an evergreen nature, and must
therefore be kept watered at all sea-
son.— Gardeners ' Chronicle.

We are growing all our Eentias above 6-inch size in neat C«datr Tuba, made especially for us, with electric wire hoops, painted sr««m.
These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in wliich
they will continue to do better than in pots.
When In Philadelphia be sure to look us up.
We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We tiave fine train service— fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our 'palms of all
■Izes, from 2^-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on Deooratlva Palma, in 7-iDch, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single
plants), wliich we can supply in any quantity. All our Palms are bome-Krown (not an imported plant on the place) and well established
In the tubs. They are strong and healthy.
With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is mnob Uura«r than arar bafora and never in battar condition.

"PEONIES FOR PLEASURE."
This book of "Peonies for Pleasure" gives in-
formation on peony history, soil and plants to
use, how and when to plant, fertilizers and how
to apply, and describes the most extensive plant-
ing of really valuable peonies ever gathered to-
gether under the sun; describes the old and new
as well as the pleblan and aristocrat of the peony
family. If you want information on the plant
that stands next to the rose in beauty, that is
practically known to the amateur as simply a
red, white and pink peony, then send for "Peonies
for Pleasure."
We also issue a special wholesale price list
of peonies for fall sales 1913. Send for both of
the booklets.

In a late number of the Market Growers' Jour-
nal, in a symposium on tomato growing, five of
the six writers commended BONNY BEST. One
calls It a "top-notcher," another says his patrons
would take no other if Bonny Best was on the
wagon. The qualities mentioned are earllness,
almost the first; most desirable in size, smooth-
ness, velvety red, thrlftlness of plant, long bear-
ing season, great productiveness, excellent for
early or main crops. We have thousands of plants
of this variety, transplanted, tough, stocky, well
rooted, extra flne strain, sure to please, $1.00

As an appreciation of the good work
done by the young ladies, they were

— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in
steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform

pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that
impulse — write now.

Greenhouse Heating.
The trade has come through the winter
in good shape insofar as the fuel ques-
tion goes. An open winter has gone
quite some ways toward making up for
the higher price of coal. There has been
no serious car shortage or interruption
of transportation, such as endangered
many plants the season before.
Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
asK The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
THE NEW COAL YEAE.
The opening of the new coal year
finds the anthracite trade in a quiet
condition, the report being that buyers
are abnormally slow in placing orders
for April shipment. In the bituminous
market those buy«rs and sellers who
have been at loggerheads over the com-
ing year's contract prices are not get-
ting together rapidly and there is still
a lot of business uncovered. Some con-
tracts are being closed every day, of
course, and perhaps a few more were
entered into last week than during the
weeks immediately preceding, as a cer-
tain number of consumers were not
willing to let their old contracts run out
without making new arrangements. But
the stimulation from this cause was
moderate and as a whole the situation
remains about as it was during the lat-
ter half of March.
WHERE THE DOLLABS GO.
' ' The growers ' dollars go up the
chimney," was the substance of the
way Walter Thompson put it in a re-
cent address before the Portland, Ore.,
Florists' Society. "In the hot water
systems we have high and low pressure,
circulation by gravity, forced and ac-
celerated circulation. In the steam
systems we have high and low pressure
atid vacuum systems, with the conden-
sation returned to the boiler by gravity,
traps or pumps. Electric heat has been

Kroeschell Tenus Cast Iron
The No. 7 Boiler I bought
from you Is heating 14,000 sq.
ft of glass; I think It can take
care of 16,000 ft. I do not have
any trouble to keep up tem-
perature of 50° In the coldest
weather. I flre only once after
12 o'clock midnight. The boiler
has given perfect satisfaction.
I have four cast iron boilers —
like the Kroeschell best of all.
If anyone wishes to inquire
about your boiler, let them
writeme, fori think your boil-
ers are good ones.

Cast Iron Boilers Crack
Our large cast iron sectional
boiler cracked one section and
the header last Sunday. It
seemed to turn cold about the
same time that the break oc-
curred. By Monday night it
was 14° below zero. However,
by putting up coal stoves, oil
stoves, lamps and pushing up
the small furnace we have
managed to kefep most of our
stock in pretty good shapie, and
our total loss, furnace aAd all,
will be between |;500 and $600.
Just luck that It was 'not all
gone.
New Kroeschell ,boller or-
dered by telegraph on Sunday,
shipped Monday, reached here
on Friday; hauled to green-
house on Saturday and started
a fire Sunday; just seven days
and ten hours after the acci-
dent. When dealing with people
who will deliver a boiler as
quick as that you cannot give
up. Yours very truly,

CAST IRON BOILERS CRACK
I want to thank you for your promptness in shipping the boiler
I ordered of y^u on January 13th. I had a breakdown, one of a
battery of two cast iron boilers rrarked so it was impossible to
use same, so I got you on the telephone at 8:30 a. m., January
13th, and ordered one of your hot water boilers. Same was put
in my boiler room in the afternoon of January 15th, after which
we built foundation and connected up. Since that time the boiler
has taken care of same glass as the two cast iron boilers had
done, easier and better in every way.

Kroeschell vs. Return Tubular Boiler
Kroeschell Saved ^ the Coal
The No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler
purchased of you in 1909 has
given the very best satisfaction
— would wish no better. Have
taken out return tubular boiler
this fall which used one-half
more coal than your present
boiler. Your boiler is so easy
to regulate that in a few min-
utes I can run up the tempera-
ture very quickly. The return
and How connection with Gen-
erator, all work the very best
according to your plans.

CAST MON BOILERS WASTE FUEL
I bought a No. 3 boiler in 1901. We had a corrugated cast iron

less than It was with my cast Iron boilers. Your No. 8 boiler,
which we bought recently of you, is not being run to Its full

SMOKING CHIMNEYS.
The smoking of greenhouse chimneys
is caused by sending particles of un-
burnt carbon or hydrocarbons into the
air, and the density of smoke may be
reduced to almost any degree by sim-
ply diluting it with air without alter-
ing the total amount of solid matter
emitted. To compare the amount of
preventable smoke discharged from two
chimneys it is necessary to know the
amount of coal being burned in the
furnaces. Many so-called smoke-pre-
venting devices simply aim at diluting
the gases with excess of air during the
time smoke is most likely to be given
Few boiler furnaces fail to supply
siiflieient air for the complete combiis-
I'oii of the coal fired in them. About
twelve pounds of air is necessary to
^"I'l'ly the oxygen for completely burn-
"i^r one pound of coal and under actual
^"'iditions most furnaces ])ass from
twenty to t;>irty pounds of air per
pound of coal. The reason smoke is
^"iitted is that the air is not intimately
niixed with the carbon and is not at a
sufficiently high temperature.
t^ne problem of insuring complete

Continuous Firing for Four Years Twenty-
four Hours a Day Fails to Burn Out
Cyclone Grates i
We have installed many sets of Cyclone Grates where these figures
have held true.
Any grates that show no evidence of burning after four years' con-
tinuous firing twenty-four hours a day must have something exceptionally
worth while about them.
Cyclone Grates resist burning because the Cyclone Plan insists upon a
mixture of iron being used which years of experience and experiment
have found best suited for the purpose. *•'■,■. < '

Possibly the best attempt at smoke-
less hand firing is the coking system;
that is, firing green coal only on the
dead plate and the front part of the
grate and gradually pushing it to the
back after all the hydrocarbon gases
have been driven off and it has become
an incandescent mass. This method of
firing is impossible unless the boiler
is worked at a low rate, but can be
employed in greenhouse boilers of suf-
ficient size, as the coking process, dur-
ing which the hydrocarbons are given
off, is comparatively slow and the ef-

feet is to reduce the available grate
area of the boiler by about one-half.
If boilers are worked at a high rate it
18 impossible to fire them by hand
w^ithout smoke and the only practicable
cure generally is to increase the num-
ber of boilers.
Mechanical stokers more nearly com-
ply with the conditions for smokeless
combustion, because the coal is fed
without opening the fire doors and in
8|nall quantities at a time, if not con-
tinuously. That they do not always
succeed in working without producing
smoke is generally due to the attempt
to force the fires. This results in a low
turnace temperature, because there is
too much green coal on the bars.

The market conditions remain un-

ful, the result of an early Easter stock,
which could not be forced along. The
large demand at present is for funeral
flowers. Roses are improving both in
quantity and quality. Carnations are
plentiful. Violets are approaching the
end of their season. The demand for

Tbe Market.
Although business has not been so
active since the first few days after
Easter, there ■was a further decline dur-
ing the last week. There have been
fewer social functions of prominence
since the close of Lent than usual, so
that the demand for flowers has. not
regained its. customary activity. Boses,
sweet peas and carnations are more
plentiful, but violets are rapidly de-
creasing in supply.

How it Looks
to a Man Up a Tree.
^^■AST week I ran up to Rowayton greenhouses at
I^H Rowayton, Conn. 31r. Sef ton, our president, sent me
UB up with instructions to get a photo of the entire
range of 7 Hitchings iron frame houses. '.'...'
It sounds easy enough, but the only way possible to
see it all was to climb up a tree. This is how it looked.
Those five small houses we built five years ago. Then
nothW firm's price was lower for a big house and thmr
got the order. 1|
It was not satisfactory.
We got the next order.
It was for those two big 55-foot ones 450 feet long.
Only two columns, compress truss framing, Z-bar eave
plate our cypress benches.
To a man up a tree, it looked to me as if there in
these new houses was about as conclusive a bit of evidence
as any man would want that our company builds superior
houses and deals squarely and fairly. It's the opinion of
the man who comes back with another order that
counts.
It's the firm that has no comebacks on the work they
do, that's worth counting.
You can count on counting on Hitchings and Company.
Our catalogue tells all about these big houses.

CYPRESS BY TEST.
SUBSTITUTES BY TALK.
Is there value to you In an endurance test of 45 years In greenhouse sash? It Is reported to us that sash made
of heart Cypress by a prominent .greenhouse contractor In Chicago and placed in position in a greenhouse at Des
Plalnes, 111., in 1868, are still doing service.
Jacob Fries, Bethlehem, Pa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for 30 years and are still on the job.
And these are not Isolated cases — they represent no more than a fair test of "The Wood Eternal" for greenhouse use.
It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements.
The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or contractor who
wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 or 45 years to the credit of the
so-called "substitute."
That is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good ordinary business sense.
If he would meet the Cypress record with more talk, and no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood-pile." You
know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress.
"PECKY" CYPRESS. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon It lasts. The U. S.
Govt. Kept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says — "That the disease (which produces the "peck") has been a long time prey-
ing upon Cypress timber Is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from alluvial deposits many feet below
the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber is pecky, though it has been buried during
a period estimated at no less than 30,000 years. ... The effect of the disease (known as 'Pecky') ... Is believed
to act as a preservative . . . and to hinder decay."
Is 30,000 years "hindering of decay" long enough for YOUR greenhouse?
There is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing else for benches and bench standards. It Is cheap, too.
A postal will do, a letter is better — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Library
(a strictly authoritative reference work.) Vol. 3 is all about "GREENHOUSES." It Is FREE. Send for It. Also
ask for Vol. 2, on "Pecky" — a money-saver. Take no hearsay. GET THE FACTS. Then ACT.

The "One Lunger^' Against a Six Cylinder
AN AUTOMOBILE COMPARISON
WITH A GREENHOUSE MORAL
SUPPOSE it were possible to pick out the six best separate
concerns in the country, each makins the best of each
kind of greenhouse material; and then move their
factories and entire working force and managers to either of
our factory grounds, at Irvington, N. Y., or Des Plaines, 111.
Suppose it were possible to bring such together under our
well organized, watchful management: a cypress mill: an
iron foundry ; a heating, fitting and boiler foundry ; a venti-
lating factory ; a paint and putty mill; and lastly, a group
of greenhouse construction and heating engineers and
mechanical draughtsmen, the best the country afforded.
Suppose it were possible to do such a stupendous thing;
wouldn't you at once recognize the tremendous advantage
it must be to do business with such a wonderful concern,
who manufacture for themselves everything that goes into
a greenhouse, excepting only the glass?
Of ooursa yon would!
You would at once see the money saving advantage of being
able to buy all your material from the one highly responsible
concern. You would also be keen to take advantage of put-
ting the entire responsibility up to them for. the entire house,
instead of dividing it among six different scattered concerns
all over the country.
All of which would be highly endorsing Lord & Bumham,
for that's exactly what this concern is— a combination of six
factories, mills and foundries and an engineering concern,
all in the one factory under the one skillful management.
Each one of these six separate "departments," as we call
them, has its own separate manager or bead. Any one of
these departments is larger than any one single concern in
the country. Each of the six departments urorka vrith
and for every other department in producing tbe entire
materials for your house.
It's just like a fine big. will oiled six cylinder automobile
working smoothly, riding easily, and getting you there safely
and surely in tbe shortest time and by the smoothest roads
Wouldn't you rather lide in this six cylinder car of ours than
in a "one lunger? "

A Model Range Designed by Us in Our Forty-fiftli Year of Experience.
"The wind blew, and they fell not;
The storm raged, and they held fast."
nIKE the ROCK OF GIBRALTAR, these flat rafter
houses, with the steel work supported by pipe ,
columns, stood firm against the terrific gales that
swept around them on all sides. Other greenhouses
near were crushed to the ground, and dwellings,
barns and chimneys were torn to pieces all around
the spot where this range is built.

of experience just the kind of building you ought to have

The Florists' Review
AFTERMATH OF THE
BIG NATIONAL SHOW
IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
New York Makes Good.
Those who thought New York could
3t win out on a big flower show were
ippily disappointed last week. The
ig exhibition, reported so fully in last
eek's issue of The Eeview that little
iiiiains to be said, proved a success in
,ery particular, artistically, popularly
ad financially. As always is the case,
»e show improved from day to day.
earrangement brought about better
isplay, filling up the weak spots and
16 odd corners. By the second or third
ay so complete had been the shift
lat only the largest groups remained
I their original places, and most of
lese had "been made over. Part of
le work was necessary, to make room
)r the cut flowers as they came on,
ad part was purely to increase the
eneral effectiveness and add to the
ttractiveness of the show in the eyes
I the public.
It was unfortunate that the show
)uld not all be on one floor. Some
orists thought the splendid building
imirably adapted to flower show pur-
3ses, but the general opinion was that
is very poor indeed. Practically no
fort was made to use the big third
oor, and the mezzanine floor, where
16 greater part of the trade displays
ere located, wag only kept in the Tun-
ing by signs on the main floor and a
lud-mouthed crier, who every now and
len appeared at the railing to invite
le people up from the main floor. Also,
16 building is so cut up by posts that
a effective general view is impossible,
here were plenty of exhibits on the
!cond floor and by the end of the
eek the lower floor was so crowded
lat really magnificent stock was
•owded together until all individuality
as lost and it became merely a riqt
f color — and yet it did not seem p6S''
ble to get action on the big, almost^
acant third floor. By all means; a
ower show should be all on one floor;
practically amounts to that anywaj'.
The attendance was light the opening
ight and Sunday. Then rose day drew
big crowd. Carnation day followed
id drew as many. Then came matinee
iy and the afternoon attendance fell
T, but there was a big crowd at night,
hursday again was a $2,000 day. Thus
ir the weather was bright and cool,
riday and Saturday it rained all day
ad then came an extra Sunday with
le admission cut in half. On the
hole, more people saw this show than
''er did any other flower show in New
ork and the finances came out all
Sht; there will be a small profit.
The Sweet Peas.
The National Sweet Pea Society had
^ inning April 10. Perhaps it was the
(^nient of surprise that was lacking,
"t the showing of sweet peas did not
"*'ate the sensation that was made at
'*stdn. Remembering the wonderful
showing made in 1911 with the winter-
blooming varieties of the grandiflora
type and knowing that this year many
of the winter-blooming Spencers would
be added, the trade anticipated a rev-
elation. It was another case where
anticipation is better than realization,
for, instead of eclipsing the Boston dis-
play, the showing, while larger, was
not so sensational. At Boston the peas
were better staged, where they all could
be seen at once; at New York they
were in four separate places, so that
the effect was lost. Also, at Boston
the long stems on all the peas were re-
markable, while at New York some of
the most promising varieties of the new
Spencers could only be shown on short
stems. The quantity was there, "Wm.
Sim alone having nearly 1,000 vases.
Special interest centered in the win-
grown for him by Mr. Sim. Most of
them were shown under number.
The awards on sweet peas were:

The Eoses.
If, as many said, the showing of cut
roses staged in the competition April 7
constituted the most wonderful display
ever seen in the world, what, then, can
be said of the rose section after the
groups of cut roses were staged? April
9 only one new class came on; it was
for groups arranged for effect. There
was a discrepancy in the schedules, the
final list of the general show specifying
groups "covering 200 square feet,"
while the premium list of the American
Rose Society called for "not less than
200 square feet." There were four
entries, but only two exhibitors ap-
peared; they agreed to each use about
400 square feet, so that if one was dis-
qualified the other would be. The first
premium was $250 and the second $150.
The entry of A. Farenwald, under ordi-
nary circumstances, would have taken
first, but A. N. Pierson came forward
with a display so exceptional that it
bpoame one of the features of the show.
A great pyramid was built, twenty feet
on a side and as high, the staging and
pots well concealed and the whole sur-
mounted by a wonderful vase of Kil-
l&rney Queen. The schedule called for
not less than 200 roses; the Pierson
pyramid contaiiied over 5,000, in a
dozen varieties, and of splendid quality.
The special classes for cut roses were
staged April 10 and here again A. N.
Pierson was tha bright particular star,
winning the silver vase, valued at $200,
offered by the New York Cut Flower
Co., with a vase of 200 Killarney Queen
that for quality of stock and excellence
of arrangement will be talked about
years hence. The arrangement was by
David Geddes, of St. Louis, who begins
to get nervous whenever he sees a
grower trying to stage flowers for ef-
fect. The ether awards of the day
were:
Pbiladelphia growers' prize, for seventy-flve
roses any variety or varieties except Beauty —
First, A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.; sec-
ond, Edward Towlll, Roslyn, Pa.; third, John
Stevenson & Sons, Philadelphia. Pierson used
mixed varieties and here also the arrangement
was by Mr. Geddes.
Six roses, no two of the same variety — First,
Robert Simpson, Clifton, N. J. There were thir-
teen entries, but only eight exhibitors staged their
stock. The list called for not over 20-lnch stems,
so the exhibitors mostly used two KUIarneys,
two White KUIarneys and two Richmonds, cut-
ting the stems down to twenty inches. The i>rize
was a cup valued at $50, put up by Moore,
Hentz & Nash, who also prescribed the condi-
tions.
Henshaw & Fenrlch prize for twenty-five Rich-
mond— First, A. Farenwald, Roslyn Pa.
Henshaw & Fenrlch prize for twenty-flve Kil-
larney— First, U. S. Cut Flower Co., Elmlra,
N. Y.
Henshaw & Fenrlch prize for twenty-flve yel-
low roses — First, L. B. Coddlngton, Murray Hill,
N. J., on Lady HllUngdon.
Carnations.
Thursday, April 10, the American
Carnation Society came back with a
display of carnations arranged for ef-
fect, and with some fine showings of
retail work. The awards given were as
follows:
Exbint of carnation blooms covei-ing eighty to
100 square feet — First, not awarded; second,
A. A. Pembroke, Beverly, Mass. ; third, not

Late Arrivals.
James Wheeler, of Natick, Mass.,
brought two vases of his light pink
snapdragons that showed up excellently.
The international character of the
show was helped out in the middle of
the week by the arrival of a shipment
of odontoglossums and cypripediums
from W. A. Manda 's branch at St. Al-
bans, England. They filled a large table
and made a fine show.
A trade exhibit late in getting into
place was that of the Dunham Co., Be-
rea, 0., which showed water weight
lawn rollers in several sizes.
The Lectiires.
The lectures proved one of the popu-
lar features of the show. The original
program was not carried out, due to the
failure of some of the announced
speakers to put in an appearance,
but there was a lecture each afternooft,
and evening and it was something of a
surprise to many to find that the thea-
ter, seating about 300, was well filled
«aeh time. Those in the trade did not
show much interest and, indeed, the
lertures were designed for amateur con-
sumption, but there was quite a little
|D some of them that was informative
to those in the business. E. H. Wilson,
<*i Arnold Arboretum, talked on his ex-
plorations in China; J, Horace McFar-
^3nd, of Harrisburg, Pa., described the
A-nold Arboretum, Boston; Robert Pyle,

of the Conard & Jones Co., West Grove,
Pa., discussed roses and decorative
plants; J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston,
gave his Japanese lecture; Fred C. W.
Brown, with S. A. Anderson, Buffalo,
told of the art of flower arrangement;
Arthur Herrington, of Madison, N. J.,
told of the whys and wherefores of tree
planting; J. Otto Thilow, of Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, gave his
Eocky mountain lecture; Geo. V. Nash,
of the Bronx Botanical Garden, talked
on water gardens; Arthur Cowee, of
Berlin, N. Y., discussed gladioli; L. W.
C. Tuthill, New York, told of glass
structures for amateurs, and Leonard
Barron, of the Garden Magazine, spoke
of famous gardens. All the lectures
were illustrated by colored stereopticon
slides.
Jottings.
With things coming so well, and with
the additional fact that no hauling
through the streets of New York is per-
mitted on Sunday, preventing the dis-
mantling of the show until Monday, it
was decided to lengthen the show one
day by keeping it open Sunday, April
13. Because some of the stock was at
the point where it had to be removed
from view, the price of admission was
cut in half. It brought a big crowd and
added several hundreds of dollars to
the net receipts.
Eobert Craig says that A. N. Pier-
son's pyramid of roses, shown in the
class calling for a group to occupy not
less than 200 square feet, was the most
wonderful display of cut roses ever put
up anywhere in the world. It was even
more notable for the quality than it
was for the quantity and variety of
stock, and the arrangement, all of
which were good.
'■ David Geddes, of St. Louis, arranged
the A. N. Pierson exhibit of Killarney
Queen that won the cup valued at $200,
offered for best display of 200 roses.
The stock was simply wonderful, both
in stem and flower, and Mr. Geddes
staged them so that every bloom showed
its individuality. It was one of the
notable features of the show.
Question: Should a dealer in arti-
ficial flowers be permitted to exhibit his
wares at a National Flower Show? Mr.
Totty thinks not.
The carnations of the E. G. Hill Co.,
Richmond, Ind., were flood-bound for
twenty-four hours, not arriving until
the day following the carnation show.
Mr. Hill says he was all the more dis-
appointed because he is sure he could
have changed several of the awards had
his stock got through on time.
Madison Square Garden could not be
had for this show; Barnum & Bailey's
circus wanted it. But when the Garden
management saw the crowds pouring
into the Palace, they concluded they
wanted the next flower show and they
sent a formal letter, asking that no
arrangements be made until the Garden
management had been given an oppor-
tunity to submit a proposition!
Mrs. Wm. W. Edgar, of Waverley,
Mass., entertained several S. A. F. ladies
at tea at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel
April 10. She was assisted in receiving
by Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy.
AWABDS TO TBADE EXHIBITORS.
The trade exhibits at the National
Flower Show were handled in the same
way they are at the S. A. F. conven-
tions; that is, judges were appointed to
pass on the new things the exhibitors
had called to their attention in writing.

retary he - was not considered by the
judges. Their awards were:
Certificates of merit to H. F. Michell
Co., Philadelphia, for Geranium Helen
Michell and for hybrid freesias.
Honorable mention to Schloss Bros.,
New York, for ribbon, chiflfon and cor-
sage novelties, bouquet holders, table
decorations and figured chiffon.
High commendation to Kroeschell
Bros, Co., Chicago, for new pattern
boiler.

struction Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y.,

and for arrangement for eave plate and
drip pan.
High commendation to Houtsch & Co.,
Germany, for greenhouse boiler.
Honorable mention to J. G. Neidinger,
Philadelphia, for device for keeping
and showing short-stemmed flowers.
SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLOBISTS.
A meeting of the Society of American
Florists was called for April 10, in New
York, but no quorum developed. Presi-
dent Farquhar announced, however,
that he had taken cognizance of the
proposal to establish a national trial
ground for roses at Washington by the
U, S. Department of Agriculture and
that he had appointed W. F. Gude, W.
R. Pierson and F. E. Pierson as a com-
mittee to represent the S. A. F. in the
matter and to do what seems best to
further the project, either in the name
of the society or in conjunction with
such other organizations as may be in-
terested.
THE LADIES ENTERTAINED.
The entertainment of the ladies stead-
ily becomes a more prominent feature
of air national florists' gatherings and
at New York last week the local com-
mittee, headed by Mrs. Frank H.
Traendly, saw to it that the many
visiting ladies were not permitted to
find time hanging on their hands. The
ladies were shown about the city, there
were numerous luncheons and April 9 a
large theater party was given at the
matinee at the Hippodrome, to see the
circus and "Under Many Flags."
TESTS EXPLOSION THEORY.
I agree with Emil Buettner, of Park
Eidge, 111., who, in The Florists' Ee-
view of April 3, declared that green-
houses and other buildings are not
crushed in a wind storm, but that most
of them explode. I have tested the
correctness of the theory recently. We
had a heavy wind March 12 and I no-
ticed that the roof of one of my houses
danced up and down a great deal; in
fact, so much that the purlins jumped
off the pipe supports, being held by
split tees. As I have believed in the
explosion idea, since I saw buildings in
the St. Louis cyclone that had fallen
outward, I opened up the vents about
three inches, and the dancing of the
roof quit at once.
We had a little side show of oui
own March 23, the night of the Omaha
cyclone. The wind was blowing at the
rate of forty-eight miles per hour. My
brother, who was on duty, opened up the
vents three inches or more, and the
house in question stood as firm as an
oak. Let us hear from others.

NEW YORK FLORISTS'
¥i
^ CLUB'S ANNUAL DINNER ^
SEVEN THIRTY SHARP.
Amid surroundings of exceptional
brilliancy and with an attendance that
included many of the most widely
known men in the trade the country
over, the New York Florists' Club sat
down to its twenty-sixth annual dinner
April 10. Not only was the scene one
of exceptional brilliance and animation,
but the dinner also was the largest ever
held by any florists' organization in
America. There were 600 present. The
National Flower Show was, of course,
responsible for the unusual number of
guests, the dinner being the principal
feature of the entertainment offered the
flower show visitors. There were nearly
as many ladies as gentlemen and thoir
presence was one of the most pleasant
features of an occasion that was graced
by the attendance of the flower of the
flower trade.
The Hotel Astor was selected, not
for the similarity in sound to the nam*
of one of our principal summer flowers,
but because the hotel is in itself an en
tertainment, one of New York's show
places, sometimes referred to as one of
the brightest of the glowing lobster
palaces, with facilities unexcelled for
handling so large an affair.
The cards said "seven thirty sharp'

and the guests for once were prompt.
The beautiful reception rooms were
thronged long before the bugler blew
the call to dinner, which was served in
the great banquet room on the main
floor. Round tables seating ten were
used, affording opportunity for good fel-
lows to get together and for many
friendly parties. At the speakers' table
at the right of W. H. Siebrecht, presi-
dent of the club, sat J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, president of the S. A. F.; W.
Wells, our English visitor; E. G. Hill,
of Richmond; Theodore Wirth, vice-
president of the S. A. F.; "W!. N. Rudd,
of Chicago; Charles H. Totty, chairman
of the flower show committee, and
W. H. Duckham, manager of the show.
At Mr. Siebrecht 's left sat Robert
f'raig, the oldest ex-president of the
S. A. F.; W. F. Kasting, treasurer of the
S. A. F.; August F. Poehlmann, of Chi-
''ago; Mr. Holman, president of the
<'OMipany which owns the Grand Central
Palace; Philip Breitmeyer, president of
fho American Carnation Society, and
♦jforge Robinson, of Montreal.

sang most delightfully to orchestral
accompaniment.
In starting the postprandial feature
Mr. Siebrecht admonished the speakers
that if they really had anything im-
portant to say they could get "leave to
print, ' ' as the congressmen do, but that
five minutes was the limit for the talks.
And he was promptly on his feet to en-
force the rule, except in the case of W.
Wells, all the way from England.
Mr. Farquhar spoke of his apprecia-
tion of the honor of being president of
the national organization during New
York 's show year and congratulated the
New York body on the showing made
by the exhibition, saying that it con-
tained fifty per cent more material, and
of better quality, than the Boston show
of two years ago.
Mr. Holman spoke for the Grand Cen-
tral Palace, saying that the newspaper
clippings received that day numbered
fifty-seven about the show, some of
them from newspapers as far away as
Portland, Ore., and New Orleans.
Patrick O 'Mara was called from the
floor, but declined to sing a solo, de-
claring that if Joe Manda would come
forward they would sing a duet. When
Mr. Manda 's presence had been ob-
tained Mr. O 'Mara proceeded, in a char-
acteristic speech, to present him with a
chest of silver as an expression of the
club's appreciation of his work as its
president in the last year. Mr. Manda
said that when the honor of the club's
presidency was conferred on him he
realized one of his youthful ambitions,
but that he found it to be no job for
a newly wed; he was glad the gift in-
cluded spoons.
Mr, Wells told of some of his experi-
ences on his trip and said he had been
well repaid for his journey, although
he came, in the first place, more to see
what he doesn't want than to see what
he does want.
W. N. Rudd paid a glowing compli-
ment to the show management, saying
that without belittling the work of oth-
ers the credit for leadership must be
given to one man. He wanted to know
if the society is going to pay its debt
by electing C. H. Totty its president
next year.
Robert Craig said that the one trouble
with American floriculture is that those
engaged in it are too modest; have not
claimed enough. He suggested sending
Pat O'Mara to congress.
W. F. Kasting told of the progress the
S. A. F. is making, saying that there
now is $26,000 in the treasury, $19,000
of it having been accumulated in the
last six years.
Theodore Wirth told of what is
planned for the Minneapolis convention.
C. H. Totty called attention that the
motto of the New York Florists' Club
is "All One," and said that in show
work, as well as in other activities,
they had tried to live up to it.
Ex-President Breitmeyer said the
show left nothing to be desired except
the participation of more of the retail-
ers. He deplored the aloofness of those
whose interest in reaching the public is
greatest.
E. G. Hill spoke for the ladies, George
Robinson for Canada and Wm. Duck-
ham for the show workers, after which
Robert Craig told one of his famous
stories and everybody joined in singing
"Auld Lang Syne." Then the young
people, and some of the older ones,
danced the latest dances until the early
hours.
The dinner committee consisted of
John B. Nugent, Jr., Robert Koehne,
Walter F. Sheridan, Joseph S. Fenrich
and Thomas Boothe de Forest. The
floral decorations were by Alex. M. Mc-
Connell.
Sheridan, Wyo. — E. E. Clancy has
opened a flower store at 40 North Main
street.
Milford, Mass. — Herbert S. Eldredge
has erected a greenhouse here, with the
intention of growing potted plants for
the local market.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.
At an adjourned meeting of the
American Carnation Society held at
the Hotel Manhattan, New York,
Wednesday evening, April 9, H. B.
Dorner, for the committee to which had
been referred the address of President
Breitpieyer and the report of Secretary
Baur, reported as follows: The com-
mittee recommends that the judges be
instructed, in scoring carnations on the
exhibition table, to award no points
for fragrance unless fragrance be pres-
ent; the committee recommends that
the by-law providing that the annual
meeting and exhibition be held the last
Wednesday in January be closely ad-
hered to and that the convention be not
held in conjunction with the meeting
of any other society; the committee
recommends that the conventions be
alternated, one year in the east, the
next in the west; the committee recom-
mends that no admission fee be
charged, the public being admitted free
under such rules as the executive com-
mittee shall adopt; the committee en-
dorses the recommendation that none
but members be allowed to compete in
the society's exhibitions and that only
members of the society and the local
florists' organization in the convention
city be privileged to attend such func-
tions as may occur; the committee
recommends that every member con-
stitute himself a committee of one to
secure new members.
The report provoked a long discus-
sion. Eugene Dailledouze challenged
the wisdom of the proposed rule on
fragrance, saying that most carnations
possess more or less fragrance at home
but may lose it if shipped any distance;
that warmth makes a great deal of dif-
ference and that the credit ought not
to be arbitrarily cut out in this man-
ner. M. A. Patten and Peter Fisher
took the same view. Wm. Nicholson
pointed out that Rainbow is selling
splendidly in the Boston market
"solely on its fragrance" and that the
quality is one that should be encouraged.
No action was taken.
In the matter of the society going
it alone and sticking to its favorite
date of meeting, Peter Fisher said that
the last two years of trial of other
plans have proved conclusively that the
society 's best interests have not been
served, the exhibition having deterio-
rated and the membership fallen off.
Several others spoke to the same effect,
E. G. Hill being the only one to voice
a mild protest. The recommendation
was adopted, as were the recommenda-
tions for the free admission of the pub-
lic, that members only be privileged
to compete, that hospitalities be re-
stricted and that everybody get busy
and boost the membership.
After considerable discussion the sec-
retary and treasurer were instructed to
formulate a plan whereby the list of
names can be cut down by the elimina-
tion of the names of undisseminated
and undescribed varieties.
The only invitation for the 1914 con-
vention, except several from conven-
tion bureaus, which could not be con-
sidered because not backed by the lo-
cal florists, was from H. B. Dorner, who
asked -the society to meet at the Uni-
versity of Hlinois if it considers it ad-
visable to go to so small a place as
TJrbana-Champaign. It was left to the
board of directors, but Prof. Dorner
was elected vice-president of the so-

II ICCJ
E. T. BROWN.
PROMOTION for merit seems to be the regular thing with the new president
of the American Carnation Society; he was advanced from the vice-presi-
dency. And Mr. Brown came to the direction of the affairs of the Cottage
Gardens Co., Queens, N. Y., in just the same way; he entered that concern as
assistant to Charles Willis Ward when that gentleman was devoting his personal
attention to the florists' business and, when Mr. Ward's other interests claimed
his time, Mr. Brown's broad shoulders seemed just fitted for the mantle. Mr.
Brown has carried on Mr. Ward 's work with the carnation, now even to the point
of succeeding him in the presidency of the flower's society, for Mr. Ward was at
its head in 1903.
ciety, that office having been left open
at the time other officers were elected
because of the custom of choosing the
vice-president from the city that is to
have the next convention.
With comparatively little discussion
it developed that the members present
were a unit in believing that greater
importance should be put on substance
and the scale of points was revised by
taking five from form and putting it
on substance, so that the scale now
stands:
Color 25
Stzo 20
Calyx 5
Stem 20
Substance 15
Form 10
Fragrance 5
Total 100
R. T. Brown, the newly elected pres-
ident, was introduced and made the
usual pledges. Wm. Nicholson, M, A.
Patten and E. G. Hill told of the hos-
pitalities received at the hands of the
Perpetual Flowering Carnation Society
and its members, and what they saw at
their places on the occasion of their
trip to England last spring.
For the committee on final resolu-
tions Mr. Hill presented a report ex-
pressing the appreciation of the society
for the courtesies extended by all con-
nected with the management of the
National Flower Show, but especially C.
H. Totty, Wm. Duckham and Harry A.
Bunyard; also to the New York Flo-
rists' club and the men in the trade
who individually had contributed to
make the meeting one of the most siu'-
cessful and pleasurable in the annals of
the society.
THE CARNATION; ITS SOCIETY.
[The address of President Philip Breitmeyor
before the American Carnation Society at t'n'
New York meeting.]
In reviewing the past year, we fii'd
new facts presenting themselves that
should lead this assembly into very in-
teresting discussions, which in tuvn
should bring forth suggestions and reso-
lutions of great benefit to all. The
general prosperity of the country has
left its golden traces among the grow-
ers of carnations as well as the re-
tailers of them, and many an up-to-date
structure has been added to bring about
the biggest development of the carna-

tion. Quality has been produced, and
the retailer has had the opportunity
of the enormous output at a fairly rea-
sonable price.
]n spite of these indisputable facts, a
<jupstion worthy of your most serious
consideration and analysis arises. Is
the popularity of the carnation on the
increase, or, in other words, has the
consumption increased in the same ra-
tio as our population and general ad-
vancement of ethics and prosperity?
Is the more frequent occurrence of spe-
cial sales on carnations a sign of the
in<reased popularity of the carnation, or
is it a sign of more or less overproduc-
tion?
Neglecting the Fragrance.
]u the dissemination of varieties, too
much stress seems to have been laid
on the color and size, the odor in most
cases having been lost sight of. In
years past, when our population was less
and the demand for carnations in pro-
portion was larger, we were blessed
with, though smaller blooms, more fra-
grant varieties. There is no doubt in
my mind that the spicy odor in the
carnation was a great factor in the
sale of these flowers, and with the pres-
ent advancement in salesmanship the
term "fragrant carnation" is almost
a thing impossible, and by virtue of this
lack of fragrance other flowers have be-
come greater competitors.
Further, it seems necessary to infuse
a new strain of blood to overcome
the general and quite remarkable de-
cline of their keeping qualities. It
has become a serious problem, espe-
cially to the retailer. I believe that
unless a remedy is found there will be
a great difference in the sale of carna-
tions. We can all agree that already
other good, lasting flowers have found
their way to the flower shop as keen
competitors. This may not matter
much to the retailer, but it is very im-
portant to the carnation grower, and
there should be vigilant care and care-
ful scrutiny given to the many new in-
troductions offered each year, not per-
mitting them to be enrolled unless the
present defects are eliminated.
I also wish to call your attention to
the well known lack of carnation blooms
during the summer months. Owing to
the failure of the aster, there seems to
be a field not yet covered. It is a fact
that the breeders of anemone and pom-
pon chrysanthemums are straining every
point to produce summer blooms, and
to my notion a carnation would fill the
hill as few other flowers will do.
Action on Parcel Post.
We have everlasting complaints con-
cerning the packing for shipment of
carnation blooms, and while it may be
out of place to bring it up now, it does
seem wise to caution many of our best
growers that some thought and study
should be given to overcome this ever
present criticism.
Owing to the newness of the parcel
post, the powers that be are in a re-
ceptive mood and it seems timely that
suggestions be made. As the situation
lies, the government maintains as good
3nd better service between cities than
express companies. The only difficulty
so far is the delay of collections and de-
liveries in cities. If properly presented,
the government no doubt would supply
Proper schedules for the departure and
arrival of mail trains. This should lead

WALLACE B. FIBBSON.
WHEN the American Eose Society, at its meeting last week in New York,
selected Wallace E. Pierson as its president for the ensuing year it did it
for its own good, without consulting the recipient of the honor, who at the
moment was extremely busy staging exhibits in the National Flower Show. The
selection was solely because of the tremendous energy Mr. Pierson is these days
putting into everything he undertakes — and the rose men recognize that just
now that trade society that can command youth and enthusiasm is indeed
fortunate. Mr. Pierson is the active working force in the business of A. N.
Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., and is the head of the publicity committee of
the S. A. F.
our products than now exists, espe-
cially in the plant line.
The past year has been anything but
satisfactory in the addition of new
members. The root of this trouble
should be found and a remedy provided.
It has been said that there is no
inducement for those interested to be-
come members of our society, for the
reason that they can procure all the
information and benefits on the outside;
further, that there is practically no
barrier for non-members getting all
the benefits, and I believe that it is
true. This brings to mind the old doc-
trine, "A society for its members," and
perhaps it will be necessary that such
a rule be adopted and adhered to. There
is no doubt that the society which hews
closer to a policy of not spreading its
news broadcast is more attractive to a
joiner, and I can see reason why a new
policy should be well considered and in
the end insure the society against disin-
tegration.
Time of Annual Meetings.
The time for holding our meetings,
which had been adopted originally as
the third week in January, seems yet
to be much favored; in fact, the hold-
ing of our exhibitions at that time
seems to be more favorable and prac-
tical. This may not agree with my
past argument, which was to the effect
of closer relation with the Eose So-
ciety and other kindred societies, espe-
cially for the purpose of holding joint
exhibitions such as we enjoyed in De-
troit and are now enjoying in New
York. It may be too soon to discuss
this question, but my idea is that it
is important to hold the meeting of
the Carnation Society when the season
is most appropriate.
The policy of free exhibitions prop-
erly managed an^ restricted, as was
planned originally and met with much

success, should not be lost sight of and
I hope that a good discussion will be
brought about on this subject.
It need not follow that a National
Flower Show should interfere with an
annual carnation meeting. I am of
the opinion that the grower who is in-
terested in the carnation, or any other
flowers, will find time and money to at-
tend all such meetings, no matter where
they are held.
Work for the Oamation.
In conclusion, I believe that the Car-
nation Society, as expressed by many
of its most active niembers, should act
for the best interests of its aims and
purposes, and if the plans now adopted
are not practical the. matter should be
brought up for discussion and delibera-
tion.
It is to be remembered that our in-
terests lie in the carnation, its de-
velopment, and creating a sale for
it and all that can be done to ac-
complish this end should have atten-
tion. The carnation must be grown the
year around, and its blooms must rank
in quality with the grandest of all
flowers, the rose.

FLORIST,
BALL DIAMOND IN FLOWEBS.
One of the tokens of good will from
Chicago baseball fans to Manager
Evers, of the Cubs, presented April
12, was an elaborate flower design in
the shape of a fan, with the main body
laid out as a ball diamond. It was
originated and executed by H. R.
Hughes, of Chicago. The foul lines were
of white sweet peas and the base lines
of white carnations, with pink down
the pathways. Eed, white aAd blue
ribbons ran to the outfield positions.
The feature was a large keystone of
white carnations in the second base po-
sition, mounted with a yellow crown of
five points, to represent "the keystone
king," the name given to Manager
Evers, who is regarded without a peer
as second baseman.
CHAIN OF FLOWER STORES.
For months there has been talk in the
trade of plans being laid by outside
parties to establish a chain of flower
stores across the country, on the order
of the cigar and o and 10-cent stores
that have apparently proved great suc-
cesses. It now is reported from New
York that * * a new company to be known
as the Royal Fruit & Flower Co., with
a capital of $10,000,000, is being organ-
ized by Oscar Bamberger, of Bamberger,
Loeb & Co., and Henry Weil, of Bam-
berger Bros. & Co. A chain of fruit
and flower stores will be established in
this city."
EXPENSE OF DELIVERY.
T am a retail florist in a country town
and I have read with much interest the
remarks of R. S. in The Review for
March 13 about the inconvenience and
cost of delivery. It exactly describes
my position, but the only thing I can
see for R. S. to do is to smile and
charge more. If he can't do it, he
might leave it to his lady clerk.
^A. E. N.
A 'new YORKER'S PILLOW.
Joseph B. Davis, who established his
retail flower store in New York in 1883,
was the designer of the pillow shown in
the accompanying illustration. His loca-
tion is 2152 Third avenue, just above One
Hundred and Seventeenth street, where
he gets a large volume of funeral work.
This pillow was made with a solid cen-
ter of violets wired in small bunches,
bordered by valley, with half a dozen
fine cattleyas to give a touch of color.
In the prevailing state of the violet
market it could be made at a moder-
ate price and still yield the necessary
margin of profit, while giving the ap-
pearance of a failure to consider cost.
SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.
In addition to the work of the S. A.
P. directors reported in The Review at
the time of the Minneapolis meeting.
Secretary Young now supplies the fol-
lowing not heretofore made public:
A design for a life membership badge
was submitted by the secretary and was
adopted. The secretary was ordered to
procure a supply of these badges at a
price not to exceed 75 cents each, and
to place them at the disposal of life
members at the cost price.
A resolution was passed to the effect
that the leading florists, or others hav-
ing trade interests, forward any sug-
gestions or demands they might wish
considered relating to tariff legislation
affecting their interests, to Wm. p[
Gude, Washington, D. C, chairman of
the tariff and legislation committee.
Upon motion, the following were ,ip.
pointed as a local advisory committee
in connection with the preparations for
the convention in Minneapolis next Au-
gust: Theo. Wirth, chairman; W. Des-
mond, Hugh Will, and George Asmus.
Charles Critchell, of Cincinnati, was
appointed chairman of the sports com-
mittee of the convention.
In regard to the rates for space in
the trade exhibition at Minneapolis, it
was decided that the rate be 40 cents
per square foot, with a minimum price
of $20. It was further arranged that
the business convention occupy four
days and that the trade exhibit should
be opened for the same period; and
that all articles exhibited must be left
in place until the close of the business
session of the convention, which would
be at 10 p, m. on the fourth day.
A resolution was passed that it was
the sense of the board of directors that
some action be taken by the society at
the next convention whereby exhibits
of artificial flowers at the society's
trade exhibits and dower shows be pro-
hibited.
The following appropriations were
made: Entomologist, $100; pathologist,
$100; botanist, $100; convention badges,
$100; assistant to secretary at conven-
tion, $100; sports committee, $75; presi-
dent's messenger, $25; school garden
committee, $75.
The accommodations at the Hotel
Badisson having been found satisfac-
tory, that hotel was appointed head-
quarters for the convention. Vice-Pres-
ident Wirth was invested with author-
ity to make arrangements for the lease
of the Armory.
The salary of the secretary was fixed
at $J,000 per year, with an additional
allowance of $300 per annum for office
rent. It was also decided that in con-
sideration of his additional work as
superintendent of the trade exhibition
he be paid an additional salary of $500
per annum, with a further allowance of
.$200 to cover the expense of a thirty-
day stay in the convention city which
would be required through his duties.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.
New York, N. Y.— Philip L. Shaeflfer,
surviving partner of Eeisner & Shaef-
fer, 1247 and 1249 Lexington avenue,
has filed a petition in bankruptcy, with
liabilities $9,712 and assets $1,189, con-
sisting of stock, $300, fixtures, $700,
and accounts, $189. Anna Shaeflfer is a
■creditor for $7,000, money loaned. The
business was started in 1895 by Samuel
Eeisner. Mr. Shaeffer became a part-
ner in June, 1912. Mr. Eeisner died
January 10, 1913, and Mr. Shaeflfer has
since carried on the business. The fore-
going petition, a voluntary one, was
dated Aprjl 4. Four days later an in-
voluntary petition in bankruptcy was
filed against Mr. Shaeflfer by the follow-
ing creditors: Paul Meconi, $356;
Charles Millang, $207, and James K.
Allen, $183.
FLOWEBING SHEUBS AND VINES.
Please send me a list of hardy flow-
ering shrubs and vines that would come
into bloom in succession in this climate,
in the western part of New York state.
T. R.
A few of the best vines for your cli-
mate are: Ampelopsis Veitchii, Clematis
paniculata, Lonicera brachypoda Hal-
leana, Lonicera sempervirens, Wistaria
Chinensis and W. multijuga, Akebia
■quinata, Aristolochia Sipho, and such
rambler roses as Tausendschon, Dorothy
I'erkins, Lady Gay, American Pillar
and Hiawatha. In evergreens, Euony-
'niis radicans is good.
A selection of first-class flowering
shrubs which will give a long succes-
sion of flowers are: Prunus triloba and
P- Japonica flore pleno; Philadelphus
^ronarius and P. Lemoinei in variety;
Deutzia Lemoinei, D. crenata Pride of
Rochester; Spiraea Thunbergii, S. ar-
Riita, S. Van Houttei and S. prunifolia

riety (in lilacs, a selection to give a
succession of flowers would be: Syringa
oblata, Marie Legraye, Mme. Lemoine,
macrostachya, Charles X, Philemon,
white and pink Persian, villosa); Cor-
chorus Japonicus; Clethra alnifolia;
Exochorda grandiflora; Rhodotypus ker-

W. Eva Rathke; in flowering ever-
greens, rhododendrons, Kalmia latifolia
and andromedas. C. W.
STRIKE IN BELGIUM.
Cable advices from Belgium state
that a general strike went into effect
there April 14. The Red Star line, which
brings all Belgium plant shipments, will
not accept perishable freight, even
though the Belgium government-owned
railroads could carry the stock from
Ghent to Antwerp. This completelv ties
up plant shipments from Belgium and
catches the exporters right at the begin-
ning of the spring shipping season. Only
one shipment has left Belgium, mostly
bay trees. Further spring shipments
will be delayed as long as the strike
lasts, which is hoped to be not over
two or three weeks.
GREENHOUSE GLASS.
We have it on good authority that
the stock of greenhouse glass in the
hands of manufacturers is light for this
time of the year and, while the demand
is perhaps not so good as it was last
season, the fact that factories will close
down in about six weeks would tend
towards stiflfening prices; in fact, an
advance almost any time is being freely
predicted. A manufacturer who does
considerable business with greenhouse
owners says those who are going to
build this season should place their
orders without delay, so as not to be
disappointed as to delivery of their
glass.
CLASSIFICATION DOUBLES RATE
Under the new southern classification
railroad rates on plants or flowers com-
pletely boxed or crated take a double
first-class merchandise rate. I suppose
this applies to all southern territory.
This rate is excessive. Where I have
been paying 23 cents per hundred from
Louisville to Shelbyville, Ky., it is now
46 cents per hundred. The express rate
is 40 cents per hundred between these
two points. Wholesale florists who are
shippers of plants or flowers should take
this matter up and see that the double
first-class rate is not put into eflfect.
Edw. P. Hall.
Ligonier, Ind. — Otto O. Schrock,
whose greenhouses were damaged by a
recent storm, has completed the work
of making repairs and his business has
been carried on without much interrup-
tion.
Tarrytown, N. Y. — F. E. Pierson Co.,
having always done more or less retail-
ing from the greenhouses, is preparing
to take full advantage of the fine trade
that has grown up here by building a
retail store in one of the best locations
on the main traveled highway from
New York to Albany. The building,
which was designed by R. M. Cobb, of
Lord & Burnham Co., will not contain
one piece of wood. It will cost upwards
of $20,000 and will be one of the hand-
somest flower stores in America.

DEFECTS IN TARIFF BILL.
McHutcbison & Co., the New York
importers, have directed the attention of
Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, chairman
of the ways and means committee of
the House of Eepresentatives, to nu-
merous mistakes of classification and
definition in the new tariff bill that
will create considerable confusion in
ratjng unless rectified before becoming
effective. Following is a copy of- the
letter to Mr. Underwood:
Sections 219 and 220 of Schedule G
in the new tariff bill cover horticultural
products such as bulbs, plants and trees.
In these articles accuracy of classifica-
tion and definition is of vastly more
importance than the rate of duty, be-
cause the rate of duty depends alto-
gether upon the definition of the items.
The last tariff contained many mis-
takes, which involved much expense to
the importers in having the board of
appraisers pass upon disputed points.
Unless some changes are made in the
wording of the two paragraphs men-
tioned above, we shall have the same
trouble over again, as the new tariff
makes exactly the same mistakes.
In the new tariff the same items carry
different rates of duty and items are
classified incorrectly. We refer in par-
ticular to the following:
Section 219 rates "orchids, palms,
azaleas and all other decorative or
greenhouse plants, twenty-five per cent
ad valorem." Section 220 rates "all
fruit or ornamental trees, deciduous and
evergreen shrubs and vines, commonly
known as nursery or greenhouse stock,
fifteen per cent ad valorem." This
makes the same items fifteen per cent
and twenty-five per cent ad valorem.
Greenhouse plants and greenhouse stock
are the same.
The word "azaleas" is too vague.
Probably Azalea Indica is intended, but
it is grown in greenhouses in winter
only. All other varieties of azaleas
are grown outside in nurseries, and are
nursery s^ock, not greenhouse plants.
The terms "greenhouse stock" and
"greenhouse plants" are also too in-
definite. Many shrubs and plants which
grow in the open air in southern states
are known as "nursery stock." Far-
ther north, where the weather is colder,
the same stock is grown in greenhouses
and is known as "greenhouse stock."
These classifications would pass if the
duty were the same.
Section 220 rates "seedlings of my-
robolan plum, $1 per 1,000." Section
561 rates * ' myrobolans ' ' free of duty.
It should be specifically stated whether
Section 561 refers to myrobolan seeds,
fruit or seedlings.
Section 220 rates "evergreen shrubs
and vines, fifteen per cent." Section
602 rates "evergreen seedlings" free,
but places them under the classification
of "seeds." The same mistake was
made in the last tariff and it took three
years, and much expense to get a de-
cision from the board of appraisers.
If it is your intention to continue ever-
green seedlings on the free list, they
should not be in section 220, and should
not be classified as "seeds." Ever-
green seeds and evergreen seedlings are
quite different articles.
Section 220 rates "seedlings of briar
rose, 3 years old or less, $1 per 1,000,"
also "rose plants, budded, grafted or
own roots, 4 cents each." The prin-
cipal briar rose in commerce is Rosa
rugosa, a shrub, grown from seed and
sold as 2 or 3 years old. The last
tariff was also indefinite on this point
and only after three years and much
expense* to importers was it decided it
is not a rose (see T. D. No. 32926).
Your tariff should be specific in includ-
ivf\lk
Baocroft't Formosa Lily.
ing Rosa rugosa as a briar rose and
dutiable at $1 per 1,000, It is sold as
low as $4 per 1,000.
Section 219 rates "hyacinths" as
"clumps" instead of bulbs. The same
mistake was made in the last tariff and
took years to rectify.
In these items the correct classifica-
tion is vastly more important than the
rate of duty. When the classification is
not clear it opens a large avenue for
fraud, the result being that the dis-
honest firm pays only half the duty the
honest firm pays. Under present tariff,
honest firms are paying twenty-five per
cent duty on evergreens grown by
grafting or cuttings, while other firms
are getting them in free of duty a-
"evergreen seedlings." The tariii
should be specific as to what an ever-
green seedling is.
We respectfully request that Section
219 and 220 be rewritten. We suggest
no changes in the proposed rates o1
duty, but they should be specific and
read as follows:
Section 219 should read: "Orchid^
palms. Azalea Indica and all other dec
orative or greenhouse plants and cut
flowefs, preserved or fresh, twenty-fiv.'
per cent ad valorem; lily of the valley
pips, tulips, narcissus, begonia ani
gloxinia bulbs, $1 per 1,000; hyacintli
bulbs, astilbe, dielytra and lily of tlii>
valley clumps, $2.50 per 1,000; lily ancl
calla bulbs, $5 per 1,000; iris, cannu
and dahlia roots and amaryllis bulbs,
$10 per 1,000; all other bulbs, bulbous
roots and corms which are cultivated
for their flowers or foliage, 50 cents
per 1,000."
Section 220 should read: "Stocks,
cuttings or seedlings of myrobolan and
St. Julian plum, mahaleb and mazzard
cherry, pear, apple and quince, Manetti,
multiflora, Rosa rugosa and briar rose,
3 years old or' l^ss, $1 per 1,000
plants; rose plants, budded, grafted or
grown on own roots, 4 cents each;
stocks, cuttings and seedlings of all
fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs and
vines, commonly known as nursery
stock, not specifically provided for in
this section, fifteen per cent ad va-
lorem."
Section 602 should read: "Evergreen
seedlings, 4 years old or less, free";
otherwise there is nothing to prevent
large evergreen trees, grown from seed,
say six*l%et high, coming in as "ever-
green seedlings," free of duty.
Section 561 should read "myrobolan
seeds," "seedlings" or "fruits" or
whatever you intend to be free of duty.
The new tariff is fair, equitable and
quite acceptable. If you do not see fit
to make the above noted corrections,
then let us respectfully request that
you make the ad valorem duties in Sec-
tions 219 and 220 the same, either fif-
teen per cent or twenty-five per cent, as
there is practically no difference in
these items as you have them classified.
FOBMOSAS FOB EASTEB.
Only a small part of the lilies flow-
ered for Easter were Formosas, but all
over the country growers tried batches
of these, with the idea that, if they
made good, larger quantities would be
desirable for another early Easter. The
principal complaint against the bulbs
from Formosa is that the plants are
uneven; they are likely to run to great
height and do not flower so nearly all
at one time as do the longiflorums and
giganteums. Growers who had the fa
cilities for shifting the plants into tern
peratures suitable to their individual
needs had fairly good success in flower-
ing the whole batch at the date wanted.
Too great height is not desirable, but
a few tall plants come in handy; one
man reports that he obtained an extra
price for a small number of good plants
that had run up to an unusual height,
these being just what was wanted for
the back row of a church decoration.
As a rule Formosa bulbs are florif erous ;
they give a good -number of flowers
per bulb, and every grower knows that,
while the store men like Jilies that
have from three to five flowers, there
is no profit in plants that throw only

ASPLENIUM BUI.BIFEEUM.
Will you please give me the name of
the fern, a frond of which I am en-
closing? The plant was brought 'to
my place by a lady who expected to be
gone during the winter, and while here
it has been admired by several people
and they have wanted one like it. Can
you tell me where I can get it? Some
have called it a Scotch fern and others
have spoken of it as a silver fern, but
I can not find either of these names ap-
plied to any such variety as the one in
question. P. B.
The fern in question is Asplenium
bulbiferum, an old species, but one that
is not largely grown by the trade. Try
some of the large fern specialists who
advertise in The Review, and if they
•lo not carry the fern in stock, it is pos-
sible that they could tell you where to
get it. W. H. T.

Alaska is a decided improvement on
the original Shasta daisy. The color
is pure white, the flowers are four to
fi^'e inches across and the 'stems are
ordinarily two feet in length, but in
''^^■6?, moist soil they may be double this
length. Seed sown now may throw a
f«'W flowers, but had you sown them
outside last July, transplanted into
"iirsery rows and then replanted this
springy you would have had a fine crop
ot' flowers. If you buy plants, set them
twenty-four inches apart in the rows
*nd run the rows three feet apart. Let
tj»e soil be liberally manured and keep
t"e soil well cultivated right through
the
growing season.

LILIES IN DIXIE.
The accompanying illustration shows
four mule-teams driven by darkies, de-
livering Easter lilies from the green-
houses of the Idlehour Nurseries, Ma-
con, 6a. In some parts of the north
the plantsmen were favored with mild
weather this Easter, but thousands will
envy the grower the ability to haul his
plants to market in an open lumber
wagon without wrapping. At the right
of the picture, in the touring car, is
D. C. Horgan, the proprietor of the
Idlehour Nurseries, and his foreman,
Carling Schatcmon, the man behind the
gun. They flbwered 2,000 pots of lilies
this Easter, having practically every
plant at its prime when wanted.
WOOD LICE IN FLUMOSUS BEDS.
We are having considerable trouble
with wood lice or sow bugs in our
asparagus beds. The growth of the
asparagus is strong and the plants
are healthy, but as soon as the young
shoots appear above the surface of the
soil they are eaten off by these bugs.
We have tried several remedies, but
have been unable to prevent these bugs
from destroying the crops of asparagus
as they come on. What would you
suggest that would be a good means
of destroying the bugs and at the same
time would not be injurious to the
plants? W. J. T. I.
You can catch large quantities of the
wood lice by laying hollowed out po-
tatoes or other vegetable roots as traps.
Look over these each morning and im-
merse them in a pail of hot water. A
surer method still is to lay some
poisoned mash, which they will eat
with avidity. Take some fresh shorts,
mix some molasses in it, add suf-
ficient water to make it pasty and then
sprinkle on enough Paris green to color
it. You will find that this will soon
clear out these annoying pests.

OBEOO ASTEBS UNDEB GLASS.
I have a lot of Crego aster plants,
with two and three true leaves starting.
I am potting them up in 2-inch pots.
What would be the best way to handle
them to get a paying crop of flowers?
I have a greenhouse and. hotbeds avail-
able, if their use would be an advan-
tage over open ground culture. I am
located in southwestern Ohio.
K. W. H.
There is no advantage in potting
asters over transplanting them into
flats. In fact, the latter is really the
better way, as plants can always be
taken up with a ball of roots, while in
small pots they dry out badly, and are
likely to become potbound before they
can be planted but. If you have good
soil which has been liberally manured,
you will get as good results outdoors
as under glass, perhaps better. If, how-
ever, you want flowers a little earlier,
it would be a good idea to plant one
bench of them inside. Use such com-
post as you would use for roses or mums
and place the plants ten inches apart
each way. For fancy flowers do some
disbudding, but as a rule the medium
flowers pay better. C. W.
LEAVES ON PAT TBEES DYING.
I am enclosing some bay leaves taken
from a tree kept in a nice, warm, light
storeroom. Will you please tell me
what is the matter with the trees?
H. F. P.
The most probable cause of the leaves
dying is dryness at the root. Bay
trees should have a winter temperature
of not over 40 to 42 degrees at night,
but must never be allowed to approach
dryness at the roots. In a warm room
it would be especially necessary to give
them an adequate water supply.

BOSTON HAS
MARKET SHOW

1
l^■yr»>^fe»^•^yf»):
00-OPEEATIVE TRADE EXHIBIT.
Eclipses all Predecessors.
The committee in charge of the flower
show, held April 12, at the Boston (Jo-
operative Flower Market, 2 Park street,
might well be pleased with its labors,
as it gave Boston by long odds the
finest market exhibition it has ever had.
It was too bad that exhibits had to
be so crowded. Horticultural hall was
needed to properly display them. Not
only were exhibits numerous, but their
quality was superb, carnations espe-
■cially being ahead of most of those
shown at the New York exhibition.
Most of the premiums were silver cups,
cut glass, watches, etc., only a limited
number being in cash.
Roses never were shown here of
grander quality. For twenty-five Kil-
larney McAlpine Bros., of the New
England Rose Co., were easily in the
lead and annexed the silver cup offered
by Wax Bros. For Richmond the Exe-
ter Rose Conservatories led. For White
Killarney the New England Rose Co.
led, with flowers on 6-foot stems, which
made some of the old-timers gasp, as
also on American Beauties and Lady
Hillingdons, all of superb qualitv. W.
H. Elliott led for Mrs. Aaron 'Ward,
and Waban Rose Conservatories for
Dark Pink Killarney.
Duplicate classes were allotted for the
growers with less than 35,000 feet of
glass, who made a fine showing. W. R.
Morris led for Killarney and White
Killarney. For Richmond N. E. Boyle
was first and Robert Montgomery and
W. R. Morris equal seconds. Mr. Mont-
gomery had the finest Hillingdon and
Aaron Ward. For the best new rose
Waban Conservatories led with its new
scarlet rose and also took the sweep-
stakes prize, the Penn silver cup, for
the finest vase of roses, with Mrs.
Charles Russell.
Fine Carnation Exhibits.
Carnations were shown in great abun-
dance and the quality was grand. For
fifty white L. E. Small led with White
Wonder; A. M. Eaton, second, with
White Enchantress; J. W. Foote, third,
with White Wonder. There were eight
entries in this class. C. S. Strout was
first for fifty scarlet, with Beacon. All
the other entries were of this variety.
Pink Delight from C. S. Strout captured
first for light pink; second, Arthur Grif-
fin, with the same variety. There were
ten entries. For fifty dark pink Arthur
Griffin was first, followed by Harvey
F. Whittemore and Halifax Garden Co.
For variegated James Wheeler was first
with splendid Benora; second, L. E.
Small. ' For fifty flowers of a seedling
not disseminated Patten & Co. won,
with magnificent flowers of Princess
Dagmar.
In the seedling classes there ,were
;iood entries. A. Roper took first for
white, with seedling No. 24, also for
rod, with No. 312, and dark pink, with
No. 1000. Leach's Pink Supreme was
invincible in the light pink class, and
John Barr's Mrs. B. P. Cheney |or
variegated. The Robert Montgomery
cup for 100 carnations went to Patten
& Co., for Dagmar. They were also
first for 100 flowers in six varieties,
C. S. Strout being second. Patten's
Mrs. C. ,W. Barron was shown in splen-
did shape and there were quite a few
other good seedlings.
F. L. Sly had the best 100 Campbell
violets. For 100 marguerites there was
keen competition, J. W. Simpson win-
ning with superb flowers. There was
the finest display of snapdragons I have .
ever seen at any exhibition. For fifty
spikes James Wheeler had a superla-
tive vase of his light pink, beating ten
other competitors. Fletcher's Melrose
showed up well here, also Paul Rich-
wagen's Augusta. F. E. Palmer won
for twenty-five red, and James Wheeler
for yellow, pink and variegated, com-
petition being strong in each class.
Geraniums a Feature.
For commercial group of foliage and
flowering plants William T. Walke won,
with a first-class arrangement. His
standard geraniums were a feature. A.
M. Davenport's group containing Tau-
sendschon roses, hydrangeas and foliage
plants also was fine.
W. C. Ward had the best 100 pansies.
W. H. Elliott won for twenty-five
sprays Asparagus Sprengeri, and Mrs.
J. F. Flood for A. plumosus. Edward
Bingham led for 100 English primroses,
and Lively & Bond for display of bulb-
ous flowers. N. F. Comley was first
and second for wallflowers. For 100
lily of the valley J. H. Leach & Son
won with a splendid vase; second, J. T.
Butterworth. R. T. McGorum had the
best mignonette and Edward Wood the
best novelty exhibit, a grand vase of
Roman anemones. Bachelors were fine:
first, L. E. Small; second, N. F. Com-
ley.
Sweet peas were remarkably fine.
For four varieties, 100 flowers of each,
William Sim won, with White Spencer,
new Fink Spencer, Countess Spencer
and Christmas Pink Spencer, the last
named being grand. Mr. Sim took first
for 100 white, with Winter Cheer, also
for pink with Christmas Pink, lavender
with Wallacea and for vase of 200 as-
sorted flowers. For any other color J.
K. Chandler & Son led with Pink
Beauty. William Sim showed a superb
vase of Greenbrook. Mrs. J. F. Flood
had the best vase of callas.
Betailers to the Front.
The retailers put up many notable de-
signs. According to the visitors to the
New York show, the work eclipsed that
seen at the Grand Central Palace. Zinn,
Comley, Hazelton, Penn, Wax Bros.,
Hoffman and other prominent retailers
were represented. For floral wreath F.
H. Hazelton won, with a charming ar-
rangement of pansies. Hoffman had
the best table centerpiece, with a pretty
arrangement of pink sweet peas, Taft
and Dorothy Perkins roses. Zinn hail
the winning shower bouquet, usino
white sweet peas, also the best basket,
in which Rosy Morn snapdragon, cat-
tleyas, Taft roses and yellow violas
with Cocos Weddelliana and Farle\
ense fern made a pretty arrangement.
For basket of yellow marguerites ar
ranged with blue bachelor's buttons,
Mann Bros, were first. N. F. Comley
also had a fine basket.
A few of the miscellaneous exhibits
noted were: E. K. Farr, Stoneham,
table of show pelargoniums; J. 1).
Twombly, beautiful basket and window-
boxes filled with ivy geraniums; James
Delay & Sons, nephrolepis; A. F. Cool
idge, collection of bedding geraniums;
A. E. E. Koch, Marguerite Mrs. Sander.

attracted a large attendance.
BOSTON.
The Market.
The semi-stagnation into which the
flower market had fallen has given
place to greater activity and conditions
this week show a decided improvement.
Carnations are, if anything, in the best
position and values on them have im-
proved. We iave had considerable
dark, rainy weather and this has tended
to reduce the output. The favorites
continue to be Gloriosa, Rosette and
Pink Delight. Roses are now of fine
quality, but do not sell as well as car
nations. American Beauties, while not
abundant, are more plentiful than they
were and sell well. All the yellow va-
rieties, such as Ward, Hillingdon anil
Sunburst, are in good demand; so i^^
Prince de Bulgarie. Killarney Queen
is now seen of superb quality, while
Richmond is splendid.
Violets are done, except for a lim-
ited number of doubles. Pansies are
quite popular and large numbers of
these are coming in from some of tin'
specialists. Dutch bulbous stock from
indoors still holds out well, and if hot
weather holds off a supply of these will
be had for a couple of weeks longer.
The Darwin and other late tulips are
popular. Quite a few Spanish iris anil
some gladioli are arriving. There has
been a fairly good call for both lilies
and callas. Snapdragons are seen io
large numbers. Pink shades sell thi-
best; next to these, white and yellow.
Yellow marguerites and blue cornflo^'
ers are favorites. Each of these are
seen with, in some cases, 24-inch stems-
Sweet peas are fine and in demand.
Some of the Spencer type are now ar
riving. For valley the call has been
quite good the last few days. The

supply of both cattleyas and gardenias
baa shortened up materially. A fair
demand exists for both ferns and as-
paragus.
Club Meeting.
At the meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club in Horticultural hall.
April 15, there was an attendance of
125. Seven new members were elected.
I'. E. Palmer gave an interesting ac-
count of how he grew a remarkable
crop of potatoes, dynamiting of the soil
playing a prominent part. W. A. Cars-
well, Bar Harbor, Me., read a paper on
melon culture, which gave rise to a
good discussion. Some of those pres-
ent who had attended the New York
show related their experiences. All
voted the show a grand one, but none
doubted Boston's ability to put up a
better when the next national show is
held here.
William Sim received a report of
liighest merit for a magnificent collec-
tion of sweet peas, and special awards
were made to the varieties Flora Ro-
land, Mrs. Shack, Mrs. W. Sim Spencer,
Lavender Unwin and five varieties un-
der number, all Zvolanek's seedlings
of the Spencer type. Special mention
was made of Gaillardia Lady Rolliston,
shown by the Breck-Eobinson Co., and
Rose Bessie Brown, shown by T. N.
Cook. A cultural report of merit was
given W. N. Craig for Miltonia vexil-
laria.
The club's calendar includes a field
day at Elliott's in May, a ladies' night
in .Tune and the club picnic in July.
Various Notes.
The retail florists have formed a new
association, named the Boston Retail
Florists' Club, to improve the condi-
tions-of- retailers in the city. These
officers were chosen at the initial meet-
ing: President, Henry Penn; vice-pres-
ident, H. R. Comley; treasurer, Julius
A. Zinn; secretary, B. H. Green. A
committee was chosen to draw up by-
laws, etc., consisting of N. W. Silver-
man, H. R. Comley, B. H. Green, Mar-
tin Wax and William Penn. There were
some thirty-five charter members en-
rolled.
Carbone h?id the decorations for the
Sears-Warren wedding at Arlington
church, April 8. They were quite elab-
orate and arranged most artistically.
The bowling team of Wm. W. Edgar
Co. defeated the Peirce Bros, team in
a challenge match at the Hanover street
alleys April 9, by a score of 3 to 0.
Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, is
marketing some of the earliest Countess
Spencer sweet peas I have seen. J.
K. Chandler & Son's. Pink Beauty sweet
peas are also noteworthy.
Mann Bros, are still strong on Dutch
bulbous flowers. They have a splendid
lot of such Darwin tulips as Farncombe
Sanders, Rev. Ewbank, Gretchen and
Clara Butt.
Galvin had the decorations for the
great masquerade ball at the Copley
Plaza hotel April 8, one of the most
elaborate functions ever held in Boston.
Henry M. Robinson & Co. expect to
have their new quarters ready for oc-
cupancy, below the Boston Flower Ex-
change, by May 1. They made an at-
tractive exhibit of sundries at the Park
street market flower show, April 12.
A. A. Pembroke won eleven prizes at
the New York show, including seven
firsts.
I regret to report the serious illness
of Jackson Dawson, the able craftsman
at the Arnold Arboretum. His ad-
vanced age gives cause for considerable
concern to his family and frienda
C. S. Strout, of Biddeford, Me., has
been spending a few days between New
York and Boston. His carnations won
three firsts and a second in New York,
and two firsts and second at the Boston
Market show. W. N. Craig.
NEW YORK.
The Market.
Now that "the greatest show on
earth" is over, the market has become
normal and the good efifects of the ten
days of educational work may reason-
ably be expected. The week ended with
a fairly good clean-up of everything
salable. An unusual demand for or-
chids because of the funeral of J. Pier-
pont Morgan raised the price for the
selected stock as high as $1 each. April
14 values again retrograded to the
quotations of a week ago. Mossise and
Trianee are most in demand. A slight
advance in the price of Schroederse is
noted.
Roses are abundant and prices have
not advanced. There are plenty of
American Beauties and of all the new
varieties that so greatly added to the
attractiveness of the big show. The
demand for the novelties in the whole-
sale market is constantly increasing.
The quality of all tea roses now arriv-
ing is excellent, but the demand from
the majority of the retailers is light,
and the clean-up to the large buyers is
ridiculously low. The same is true of
carnations, the top price even for nov-
elties seldom going above $2, and thou-
sands are disposed of under $1 per
hundred, "at times as low as $5 per
thousand. Gardenias are at their low-
est plane for the season, owing to ex-
cess in supply, even the best of them
not selling at over $2 per dozen. Val-
ley held firm all last week at $3 per
hundred for the choice stock, a large
quantity having been used by the ex-
hibitors of retail work at the show.
Lilies of all kinds are in light demand
and prices are lower, especially for
callas. Violets are somewhat better
in quality, but prices remain at the
late quotations, 25 cents per hundred
for the selected. There is no scarcity
of sweet peas, tulips and daffodils, while
the supply of mignonette, pansies,
daisies, lilac and spring flowers of all
kinds is more than sufficient for all
possible demand.
J. Pierpont Morgan's funeral April
14 absorbed more orchids, valley, Amer-
ican Beauty and Richmond roses than
the obsequies of all the millionaires of
a generation. Most of the prominent
retail florists were interested in the
enormous supply of flowers and designs.
One of them said the display at the
flower show was many times exceeded
in quantity. The wholesale market was
entirely depleted of orchids and Kich-
m-ond roses.
Club Meeting.
The club's meeting April 14 was well
attended. The majority of those pres-
ent were weary but enthusiastic, ha"\»-
ing been "in" at the close of the Na-
tional Flower Show Sunday evening.
It will surprise no one to know there is
every prospect of the show's repetition
next year.
President Siebrecht was in the chair.
Reports were made by C. B. Weathered
for the entertainment committee, by
J. B. Nugent for the dinner committee,
by H. A. Bunyard for the transporta-
tion committee on the S. A. F. conven-
tion at Minneapolis and by Phil Kess-
ler for the outing committee, who an-
nounced July 1 as the date of the an-
nual festivity and Wetzel's Grove, as
usual, the chosen locality.
John Donalds'on read the resolutions
on the death of Philip Einsman, and
A. G. Guttman those on the death of
Alexander Moltz. Charles Schwake,
James Bell, F. C. Doener, J. M. New-
man, Charles Abrkms and W. Spiwak
were elected to membership and appli-
cations were received from Vivian Out-
erbridge, Charles Huber, Herman
Grauch, Louis Enne, A. M. Freishner,
C. Mendicott, George Earl, Frank Gum-
back, Ernest Ulbrich, John E. Sefton,
Joseph Levy and H. F. Marquardt.
W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., gave interest-
ing details concerning the prop'osed city
flower market at Union Square. Co-
operation with the plant growers' and
market growers' associations was advo-
cated and a committee appointed to
work together with the authorities for
the early consummation of the enter-
prise. Charles Lenker spoke earnestly
in behalf of the project and its perma-
nency. The president appointed as the
club's committee Messrs. Miller, Boeh-
ler and Birnie.
C. B. Weathered submitted a hand-
some badge in enamel and gold for
adoption by the club, and a committee
of three was appointed to consider, se-
lect and report at the club's next meet-
ing.
Messrs. Lenker and Beaulieu addressed
the members on the National Flower
Show. Many were disappointed in not
hearing from Messrs. Totty, Duckham,
Bunyard and Young, but the president
decided on the early closing movement
and "rest for the weary" and a
prompt adjournment was made to the
refreshment room, with all lights out
at ten.
Thomas W. Head, of the Bergenfield
Nurseries, exhibited two seedling car-
nations, crimson and pink, and a new
variety of lobelia, for which the thanks
of the club were given.
Brooklyn.
P. McGovern rebuilt three of his
Brooklyn greenhouses and a conserva-
tory this winter, giving increased fa-
cilities. The conservatory, which faces
Ninth avenue at Nineteenth street, is
of steel and glass, with a lofty arch.
The foundations are of Dutch brick and
the front is relieved by lines of stained
glass. The propagating house is 15 x 125
and two other houses are 24 x 125 feet.
The benches are made of cypress, rest-
ing on iron frames, giving the maxi-
mum amount of room beneath the
benches. The heating facilities, like the
houses, are of the latest and most ap-
proved model. The whole plant was in-
stalled by Hitchings & Co.
Branch No. 3 of Condon's Green-
houses occupies nearly five acres at
Grayesend and Fort Hamilton avenues,
Brooklyn, and is used principally for
growing bedding plants and bulbs and
roses for cut flowers. W. E. Aherne,
the superintendent of the branch, makes
a liberal use of hotbeds and has a big
lot of geranium stock in the beds. He
has 140,000 alternantheras, 45,000 gera-
niums and 90,000 pansies in good shape
for spring bedding. Mr. Aherne keeps
his geraniums at a low temperature, 40

to 45- degrees at night, thus getting a
steady growth. He lost some pansies
last fall through worms from manure,
which worked about the roots of the
plants and let them dry out. One some-
what unusual feature of this plant is a
house with ridge-pole ventilation. This
method of ventilation is preferred by
Mr. Aherne for the following reasons;
The sash is easier to lift, as the weight
is thrown on the rafters of the house,
where the sash is hinged, instead of on
the arms of the ventilator; alV trouble
from the formation of ice while the
sash is open, which is a frequent cause
of trouble with the ordinary style of
ventilators, is done away with, and the
ventilation is quicker and more com-
plete, since the warm air rises to the
highest point, the ridge-pole. The only
objection is the sifting in of rain in
the fall, when the benches are filled
with chrysanthemums. This, however,
is not a serious matter. Just now_Mr.
Condon is cutting from 100,000 Dutch
bulbs in his No. 3 branch and Mr.
Aherne has seeded down some 15,000
annuals. Having charge of much out-
door work in Prospect park, south, and
in Greenwood, Mr. Condon has a direct
outlet for all the stock he can grow.
Albert Smith, who conducts a shop
adjoining the Gates avenue police court
in Brooklyn, and within 200 yards of
a police station, was assaulted on the
morning of April 10 by a burglar whom
he surprised at work on his safe com-
bination. Mr. Smith, who is a cripple,
had the drop on the intruder with a
revolver, but unfortunately his wife
had removed the cartridges and when
the burglar attacked him the weapon
was of no avail. Following a pro-
longed struggle, in which the florist put
up a hard fight, Mr. Smith received a
blow that rendered him unconscious
and the assailant escaped, notwith-
standing the police surrounded the
block.
Various Notes.
Hundreds of out-of-town florists vis-
ited the wholesale cut flower section
during the show and were cordially
welcomed. There was no limit to the
cordiality of the New York florists in
every department of the business. The
only* regret expressed was that there
were not a larger number to entertain.
' John S. Nicholas opens his beautiful
flower and fruit store in the Grand
Central terminal April 18. It is said
to be the most complete and attractive
store of its kind in America and many
members of the trade are visiting it
daily to note its up-to-date appoint-
ments.
David Clarke's Sons have been busy
lately with wedding and dinner decora-
tions.
Max Schling and Alfred T. Bunyard
were much in evidence at the Interna-
tional and covered themselves with
glory and prize money, every dollar of
which was well deserved.
Alfred Kottmiller was proud of se-
curing first place and prize at the show
for his shower wedding bouquet of val-
ley and white orchids. Theo. Lang's
bouquet, and, in fact, all in competition
for this prize, were artistic and beauti-
ful.
Herman Weiss and Miss Marguerite
Alexander were married Tuesday eve-
ning, April 15, at the residence of the
bride, 1128 Seventh avenue. The trade
generally joins in good wishes and con-
gratulations.
E. L. Lang has opened a retail store
at 974 Lexington avenue, corner of
Seventy-first street.
John Wilk is now representing Ken-
nedy & Hunter.
Frank D. Hunter, who has charge of
the New York branch of J. F. Noll &
Co., in the Hudson Terminal building,
reports a great success there.
Henry Gunther, long connected with
Gunther Bros., has opened a retail store
at Fifty-first street and Eighth avenue.
Downtown in New York, which means
from Fourteenth street to the Battery,

WASHINGTON, D. 0.
The Market.
There has been considerable change
in the market during the last few days,
not only as regards the quantity and
quality of the stock that is being of-
fered but also as regards prices. Busi-
ness is dull, good stock is scarce and
prices are about three times what they
were two weeks ago, and the end is not
yet, for they will continue to rise dur-
ing the week. American Beauties, for
which there is a fair demand, are not
up to the mark, either as to quality
or quantity. The asking price ranges
between $2 and $4 per dozen.
Carnations were not to be had in
suflicient quantities to fill all demands.
Prices on these ranged from $1 to $2
per hundred, with $3 the asking price
for the picked stock, as against prices
of from 25 cents to $1.25 late last
month.
Valley is moving well at $4. There
are lots of calla lilies on the market,
averaging $8 per hundred.
Sweet peas are not so plentiful as
they have been, but the demand for
those coming in is good. Some excel-
lent snapdragon is to be had at about
$1.50 per dozen. With the supply of
wild smilax practically at an end, the
stores are also experiencing some dif-
ficulty in getting string smilax. Gar-
denias are plentiful.
Various Notes.
J. H. Small & Sons did the decorat-
ing for the Gridiron Club on the occa-
sion of its annual spring dinner at
Hotel Willard April 12. It was re-
marked that never were the decorations
better. President Wilson and his cab-
inet were among the many guests.
Among the visitors who were in town
last week were J. A. Peterson and wife,
of Cincinnati, O., and C. T. Eldridge, of
Danville, Va.
The number of Washingtonians at-
tending the New York flower show
greatly exceeded all expectations and
all those seen by The Keview corre-
spondent were loud in its praise.
Among those present were Mr. and Mrs.
F. H. Kramer, George H. Cooke, Will-
■ iam F. Gude, Adolph Gude, Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. McKissick, George C. Shaf-
fer, Mr. and Mrs. William Marche, O.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Weather conditions during the latter
part of the week had a somewhat bud
effect on tradp, but, in spite of the
fact, business has been fairly good.
Violets and roses have been in heavy
demand. Very little is doing in flower-
ing plants.
Various Notes.
Thomas Pattison, of Campbell ave-
nue, is busy getting his bedding plants
in shape. He has recently potted up
his carnations and still keeps cutting
choice flowers from his house of callas.
He reports heavy funeral work during
the last week.
S. H. Moore and J. McQuiggan, of
Mr. Moore's firm, took in the National
Flower Show. Funeral work and deco-
rations have kept them busy all week.
James Bruce is cutting exceptionally
fine Killarneys. He visited the New
York show, as did also G. Amrhyu,
superintendent of parks.
Mr. Cromie, superintendent of trees,
has a large staff of men engaged in
planting elm trees on the green to take
the place of the old trees which were
cut down recently. He also has planted
300 Norway maples throughout the city
for shade trees.
John Champion also took in the show
at New York. His company reports
business exceptionally good this week.
They executed two large wedding decora-
tions, one in Derby, Conn., and the
other in Ansonia, Conn., and filled an
order April 13 for a large wreath for
the late J. P. Morgan, from the N. Y.,
N. H. & H. R. R. Co.
The Elm City Nursery Co. filled an
order April 15 for a carload of maples
for Toronto, Can. It reports spring
orders as being exceptionally heavy.
Alfred Nyrens is busy replanting one
of his rose houses to pink and white
Killarney and a few Mrs. George
Shawyer. His other houses are in full
crop now. He has commenced ship-
ping geraniums and is sending in choice
sweet peas.
In Chas. Munro's windows were dis-
played fine plants of the new French
hydrangea, Mme. Mouillere, which at-
tracted a good deal of attention. He,
also, was a visitor to the show in New
York.
Alfred Osterman has had a big de-
mand for his pansies put up in baskets
of twelve. They sell readily for 3')
cents per basket. M. B. F.
Vicksburg, Mich. — Ross N. Giem, who
recently moved here from Kalamazoo,
plans to do landscape work and grow
flowers for the trade.
Mankato, Kan. — "The Kramer Green-
house now has a covering of hail screen,
the best possible insurance against :i
repetition of last year's smash-up, "
says A. J. Kramer, the proprietor.
Jackson, Miss. — F. C. Pellegrenhy has
been appointed to the position of land-
scape gardener in the city parks, ^
position that has just been created b^'
the new commissioners. Mr. Pelh-

OBITUARY.
C. W. Oumey.
C. W. Qurney, president of the Gur-
ney Seed & Nursery Co., of Yankton,
8. D., died March 25. He was well
known in the eastern part of the state
as an active figure in politics as well
as a nurseryman.
REMEDY FOR PRIMULA POISON.
I recently noted, in reading the Day-
ton correspondence in The Review, that
one of the florists of that city was
having trouble with obconica poison-
ing. Several years ago, before I knew
the plant was poisonous, I had a seri-
ous time with what our family phy-
sician thought was poison, but as it
was winter, I was doubtful as to the
correctness of the physician's opinion.
Just then, however, I read an item in
The Review about obconica poisoning.
I told the physician, but none of his
remedies did any good. Then a neigh-
bor told me she used common copperas
water as a remedy. I tried it and
found it entirely effective. I have
never seen any reference to this rem-
edy in The Review, so I am telling
my experience in the hope that it may
be of benefit to some one in the trade.

What city is anxious to tackle the job
of going New York one better in the
matter of the Fourth National FloWer
Show! Don't all speak at once, please!
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual, renewal by sending
The Seview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
Sir Trevoe Lawrence has retired
from the presidency of the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society, London, after twenty-
eight years in the chair. He has reached
the age of 82. Few men have done more
for horticulture.
Washington retail florists are getting
their Hudson river violets by parcel post,
packed in eleven-pound boxes. With a
special delivery stamp affixed, the serv-
ice is said to be much better than that
given by the express companies.
W. F. GuDE, who is the accredited
minister plenipotentiary of the S. A. F.
at Washington, spent considerable time
at the National Flower Show trying to
find out what the trade wants in the pres-
ent tariff revision. Nothing doing. For
every man who had any definite ideas
and wants a certain thing there was a
man who wants the exact opposite.
Every little while The Review receives
a letter from some florist who finds him-
self compelled to compete with a -wealthy
resident of the town who is selling the
surplus product of his private conserva-
tories, and without much regard to mar-
ket value. Frequently the florist pays
The Review the compliment of asking it
to put an end to such unfair competition.
Unfortunately, The Review is without in-
fluence among millionaires, except with
the few millionaire florists. Some day
someone may devise a means by which
rich .amateurs may be prevented from
competing' with none too wealthy florists,
but it is a pure waste of breath to talk
on the subject; millionaires are pro-
verbially deaf except when money talks.
ANOTHEB RECORD.
Week after week The Review is
breaking records with its classified
plant ads. The business carried in this
department this season is far exceed-
ing the best records of other years. In
this issue the Classified ads fill fifteen
solid pages and run far onto the six-
teenth page. It beats last week's rec-
ord by over a page and last year's
best record by over two pages.
It should be borne in mind that in
The Review Classified department there
are no free reproductions of display ad-
vertisements— every ad is charged for
at the uniform rate of 10 cents per
line each insertion.
Also, these little Classified liners can
not, in the nature of things, be indi-
vidually solicited — they come in of the
advertisers' own accord, because they
have been found to pay, and pay big.
„,, WORK ThAT COUNTS. ,..
It IS results that count; no maticr
how hard a man, or a newspaper, may
try, it is what is accomplished that
establishes value. Like this:
We are more than pleased with what The Re-
view has done for us; we have no words strong
enough to use in praising the one paper for our
trade. — Charles Werner & Sou, ShelbyvlUe, Inil
April 7, 1913.
Werner & Son have used Classified
ads. The strength of these busy little
liners is shown by the fact that the
nearly sixteen pages of them that are
appearing each issue are sent in prac-
tically without solicitation; they come
in from people who have used them be-
fore with satisfaction.
FLOOD SUFFERERS' RELIEF.
The Chicago Florists' Club will be
glad to receive any information regard-
ing fellow florists who have lost from
the recent floods and storms.
The club has a committee in the field
investigating the needs of such cases
and will arrange to help all in their
power. The reporting of the cases will
lead to prompt investigation and such
help as is possible being extended.
All florists have some surplus stock,
or perhaps some building material, and
this, with a little cash, will no doubt
help many a man who has lost all he
had to regain his feet. Any information
concerning those in need of help should
be sent to Edward C. Toepel, secretary,
Chicago Florists ' Club, at Morton Grove,
111. Guy W. French, President.
CHICAGO.
The Oreat Central Market.
A decided change came over the lo-
cal market last week, stock becoming
scarcely plentiful enough to supply the
demand, a complete reversal of the
preceding week, when dealers were
at their wits' ends to find an outlet.
The change came so suddenly that most
buyers, as well as the wholesalers, were
caught unawares. Weather conditions
probably had more to do with the
change than anything else. After a
number of dark, cold days stock began
to shorten up April 10. Within twenty-
four hours there was not enough stock
to go around. There was hardly any-
thing that was not affected and roses
as well as carnations, sweet peas, etc.,
were short of the demand. Prices nat-
urally stiffened sharply. The situa-
tion would not have been so bad had
it come a week before, when shipping
was tied up, but hardly had the ex-
press companies reported that all points
were open before the shortage set in.
Beauties had an especially strong run
and, though plentiful earlier in the
week, there were not enough to fill
the orders that swamped the market
April 11, 12 and 13. Quality was like-
wise affected by the change of weather
and the buds were of poor color. Other
roses also were scarce and only Kil-
larneys could be had in any quantity.
Carnations were even more scarce than
the roses, inasmuch as they are in light
crop for the present. Brighter weather
April 14 and 15, however, gave the
wholesalers hope for an easier market
and stock was not so scarce as the
preceding days. Sweet peas are not
arriving in so large numbers as for-
merly and, although there have been
' enough good ones to go around, they

brought better prices than heretofore.
The pink peas far outnumbered all
other colors combined. Spanish iris has
made its appearance and some excel-
lent stock is being shipped in, but as
yet the supply is irregular and what
comes in is readily sold to the city
buyers, who are always on the lookout
for novelties. The usual spring de-
ma'nd for valley has taken care of all
the stock that local growers can fur-
nish and the prices obtained are con-
sistent with the spirited market. Stocks
are in good supply, while the first ship-
ment of gladioli has been reported by
one wholesale house. Violets are
about done for this season and bulb-
ous stock is not in large supply.
Green? have not changed, except that
f^rns are irregular, but there is more
wild smilaik on the market than for the
last fortnight, due to the fact that
the southern shippers are again able
to get their shipments through..
In Englewood.
This season's building operations in
Englewood will cause the removal of
two of the .old-time florists of that
suburb. The store occupied by William
W.- Weil, at the corner of Sixty-third
strjset and Harvard avenue, will soon
be "torn down, along with some neigh-
bortng buildings, to make room for the
erection of a large business block. Mr.
Weil, therefore, has secured a five-
year lease on an attractive brick store
at 421 West Sixty-third street, a lit-
tle less than two blocks west of his
present location, and will move there
about May 1. During his seven years
in business at the Harvard avenue cor-
ner he has established a large trade
among a desirable class of patrons,
nearly all of whom undoubtedly will
follow him to his new place.
George Walther's store, at Sixty-
third street and Eggleston avenue,
must also be vacated early in the sum-
mer, to permit rebuilding, but Mr. Wal-
ther has not yet decided whether to

Club Meeting.
The attendance at the meeting of the
Chicago Florists' Club April 10 was
small, made up largely of those who
were intent on putting through the
selection of a certain railroad as the
club's oflScial route to the Minneapolis
convention. Because of the indifference
of the members it usually has been pos-
sible to lead the horse to water, but
of late years it has become increasingly
difficult to make him drink. This time
the leading also was difficult, the St.
Paul first receiving the greatest number
of votes, but a second ballot resulted
in the endorsement of the committee's
selection, the C. & G. W. President
French was for the standard route, but
after the meeting sent out the follow-
ing: "The trangportation committee
made a report recommending that the
Great Western be selected as the official
route to the S. A. F. convention at Min-
neapolis next August. The recom-
mendation was adopted by a vote of
the club. The transportation commit-

rangements for the pleasure and com-
fort of those going with the Chicago
Florists' Club. They have arranged for
an all-steel Pullman equipped special
train with all modern conveniences, and
a large electric sign reading 'The Chi-
cago Florists' Club Special." The Chi-
cago Florists' Club invites all of the
florists going to Minneapolis via Chi-
cago to make arrangements to go with
them from Chicago on their special
train."

Various Notes.
Chicago's representation at the Na-
tional Flower Show in New York last
week consisted of A. Henderson, Peter
Oisem, Fred Lautenschlager, W. N. Rudd
and wife, August Poehlmann, Adolph
Poehlmann, Albert F. Amling and wife,
and H. B. Howard. Mr. Lautenschlager
was confined to his hotel for a couple
of days by an attack of grip; he will
remain in the east another fortnight.
Mr. and Mrs. Rudd went to Boston
after the show, thence to Norfolk by
boat and are in Washington this week.
Charles A. Samuelson is a member
of the grand jury which is investigating
the alleged million-dollar voting ma-
chine fraud. Carl Cropp and Lewis H.
Winterson also were drawn on the
same jury, but were excused.
Tim Matchen says Peter Reinberg
resumed New Orleans and Memphis
shipments April 14, after two weeks'
interruption by flood.
C. W. McKellar thinks the highest
prices for fancy hardy cut ferns are
past for this season and that Memorial
day will not see the flurry of some other
years.
Otto W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros.
Co., says telegraph service again is
normal but that both mail and express
service still are a little uncertain.
A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna-
tion Co., notes an unusual call for red
carnations.
John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., says a short supply and stiff prices
are not at all to his liking; he finds the
best total sales come when there is
{)lenty of stock, even if prices are
dwer..
The death is reported, April 8, of
Mrs. Roden, mother of Mrs. H. Witt-
bold and of Miss Clara Roden, who is
a member of Mr. Wittbold's store staff.
Miss Roden also is ill with rheumatism.

Rising Eastern Market.
The cool, cloudy weather, coming when
many of the eastern crops were going
off, has put the market into fair shape.
The disappearance of southern daffodils,
not yet followed by any outdoor local
stock worth mentioning, has further
helped the sale of greenhouse-grown
flowers. There has been an excellent
shipping demand, fostered by moderate
prices, realizing better average returns
than at any time since Easter. The
rose crop is heavy. The low grade
flowers have been marketed through
special quantity prices, enabling the
retailers to have sales. By this term is
meant newspaper or window offers of
attractive prices on certain days. Car-
nations have slightly fallen off in quan-
tity, the market cleaning up well, par-
ticularly on the better grades. Valley
has been in good demand for the wed-
dings. Sweet peas are eagerly sought
when well-done. Curiously enough, the
dar^ weather has apparently had little
Qffect'.im the cut. Cattleyas have been
fine and are selling well. There is no
special demand for snapdragon, although
much of it is used. Easter lilies hardly
can be called plentiful. Emperor from
the greenhouses is quite as fine as any
daffodils that have been offered this

Ernest F. Hoehl's place, Sixtieth and
Gibson streets, has about 20,000 square
feet of glass devoted to the growing
of a variety, of which mums, sweet
peas and mignonette are the main
crops. The Mignonette grown is a strain
originated by Mr. Hoehl, which re-
quired quite a lot of his time and care-
ful selection of the seeds to get the
stock perfect. Hoehl's Giant Flowering
is the name given to it. Bouvardia is
also grown in the three colors, pink,
white and red, and proves itself to be a
good short-paying crop. Daisies in both
colors look their part and show what
can be done if one is careful, in sheet-
ing the wood for cutting, to tflke noth-
ing but the best, as they are fine in size,
color and stem. Mums, which are one
of the main crops, consist of the fol-
lowing varieties in the newer kinds:

Charles Razer and "William Turner, all
of which did well last season. The
older varieties, such as Pacific Supreme,
Chadwick, white and yellow. Major Bon-
naffon and Halliday, are still among
the best sorts and were especially good
last season. Sweet peas, which are
sown in pots in the fall and are planted
in the benches after the mums are done,
are in fine condition. Christmas Pink is
the best for early- forcing. Wallacea, a
fine new lavender, with fine flowers
on good long stems, and Florence Den-
ver, for white, seem to be the best
for early forcing. There has been a
heavy cut from these all winter. Some
hulbous stock is grown for a short crop,
such as narcissi and a few of the bet-
ter varieties of tulips. There is also
one house of plumosus. Mr. Hoehl be-
liev«B the cause of so many giganteum
iilies coming short this season is due
to trying to force them too quickly,
as most of the short plants produce
good flowers, which shows that it is
not the fault of the bulb but is due

The Market.
The market was rather crowded last
week, especially with carnations, which
are fine and as good stock as any on
the market this season. It seems every-
body has plenty of them. Several large
firms had sales of both roses and car-
nations, supplied by home produeeis.
One objection to these department store
sales is that the pUWfc expects the re-
tail florists to sell at the same prices
and deliver. Several retailers complain
about the sales, because of the extra
telephone calls that bring no results.
Business is all that could be expected in
the cut flower line, although the
weather had some eflfect on the trade
last week, when it was cloudy and driz-
zling at times. The florists who are
handling bedding stock have com-
menced to get busy, as calls are com-
ing in fast, especially for porch boxes.
The wholesalers are finding out that a
glut in cut flowers is on, as every
grower is cutting plenty, but the
cloudy weather last week will help to
hold back some of the stock.
Various Notes.
Edward Ellsworth reports that busi-
ness with him has been exceptionally
good, and he is more than pleased with
the amouht of sales for last week, the
demand being general.
The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had a
great deal of funeral work last week,
and made up four fine blankets that
helped out.
Samuel Murray had a pretty window
display of Dutch hyacinths and yellow
calfa lilies.
James Biggam is busy with decora-
tions and he has plenty of orders on
hand, principally basket work for table
ornamentation.
The Peterson Floral Co. reports that
business is picking up in the cut flower

Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co.,

The Market.
The business conditions since Easter
are gratifying to wholesalers .as Well-
as retailers, and owing . to; the> dry
weather those florists having stands at
the public markets and the landscape
gardeners in general report a marked
increase in their regular sales. Wed-
dings and funerals help to clean up the
out-of-town as well as the home grown
stock of cut flowers. Lilies, spiraeas aud
Iris Hispanica are still in bloom, vaf
ley and orchids are fine, and soou the
general cutting of outdoor grown Cre-
ole lilies and gladioli will take place.
Outdoor roses, especially long and me-
dium stemmed, are scarce and those in
bloom have to be wired to be used in
bunches. As a rule they are only fit
for design work. Owing to the warm
weather we enjoyed during the latter
part of March, the growers started to
put the more hardy kinds of greenhouse
plants outside, some of them in the open
air and others under latticed sheds, but
the more tender plants are still kept
inside on account of the extremely cool
nights we have had this month.

ST. LOUIS, MO.
The Southwestern Market.
A week of almost sunless weather
did not seem to affect the big crop of
flowers that came to this market. Be-
sides, there was a general complaint as
to business in retail circles; the bad
weather all the week put a damper on
the transient trade. The weather also
had a bad effect on the plantsmen, as
no work could be done outside. In
keeping watch over the market last
week, we saw a great glut in carna-
tions, which our wholesalers had some
trouble to dispose of at anything like
a price they should bring, the quality
of which was extra fine in all the
Enchantress varieties. Boses were in
about the same condition all week as
to quantities, quality and prices. Ex-
tra fancy grades in these, though, are
always in demand at the top price.
Sweet peas were selling cheaply and in
large lots; still there were plenty left
over daily that could not be disposed
of, but the latter part of the week. the
supply dropped off considerably and
the price went up on small lots. Vio-
lets are becoming small and pale. The
only thing that kept them up was the
cold weather of late. A week of warm

Dutch hyacinths and Von Sions are
slow in demand. The demand for all
kinds of greens was good all week long.
Florists' Club Meeting.
The Florists' Club held a pleasant
meeting April 10, in Odd JFellows'
building. Twenty-five members were
present. When the meeting opened, as
neither the president nor vice-president
put in an appearance, E. "W, Guy, for-
merly president of the club, took the
chair. The trustees made their report
on the proposed steamer excursion.
After a discussion, it was decided that
a river excursion would not be ad-
visable and that an old-fashioned pic-
nic would be better.
Chairman R. J. Windier, of the pub-
licity committee, made a report on the
work for Easter, and added that the
committee was busy with publicity for
Mothers' day and Decoration day. C.
B. Mundt, of the Schisler-Corneli Seed
Co., was admitted to membership.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co.,

said nearly 1,000 Beauties were used
for the occasion.
F. W. Ude, Jr., is now one of the
school directors at Kirkwood. A bet-
ter selection could not have been made.
Mr. Ude has one of the largest green-
house plants fin Kirkwood and is well
liked by all his neighboring florists.
C. C. Sanders, of Sanders' Nurseries,
says he is afraid this will be a bad
season for nurserymen, as the weather
has been against them all season. No
work could be done last week, owing to
the bad weather.
August Hummert, vice-president of
the St. Louis Seed Co., says his firm
was never as busy as it is this spring.
A visit to the store found it packed
with buyers and the big force busy.
Grimm & Gorly are snugly settled in
their new quarters at 706 Washington
avenue, just two doors west of the old
store. The new store is in keeping with
the rest of the big retail establishments
along Washington avenue. Attractive
show windows and richly furnished in-
terior make it an attraction along this
busy thoroughfare.
The Ladies' Home Circle met at the
home of Mrs. J. J. Beneke, April 9,
and enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.
There were present besides the hostess:
Mesdames Miller, Weber, Jr., Weber, Sr,.

Koenig and J. L. Koenig. The next
meeting takes place at the home of

Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, CleTeland, O.
Tblrty-flrat annual convention at Cleyeland, June
24 to 26. 1913.
C. W. GuKNEY, president of the
Gurney Seed & Nursery Co., died March
25, at Yankton, S. D.
J. Oliver Johnson, Chicago, rapidly
is becoming a factor in the grass seed
trade through his ability to get business.
W. Atlee Buepee has donated a 4-
acre tract of land to the school board
of Doylestown-, Pa., for a children 's play-
ground.
The Holland growers say a full crop
of hyacinth bulbs this season is an im-
possibility, following the severe frosts
that canle after considerable growth had
been made.
The proposed changes in the rates of
duty on seeds, as printed on page 90 of
last week's issue of The Review, appear
to meet with the general approval of
those who import seeds, but are not in
the interest of those who are growing in
this country the varieties on which the
rates are reduced.
The trade will be interested in the
letter on the tariff sent to the democratic
manager by James McHutchison & Co.,
New York, which appears on another
page of this issue. The full text of the
proposed law as it affects seeds and bulbs
appeared on page 90 of last week's issue
of The Eeview, while the paragraphs con-
cerning nursery stock were on page 86,
accompanied by comparisons with the
present law.
In the new tariff bill now before Con-
gress the old phraseology is followed,
leaving hyacinth bulbs among those not
specially provided for, on which the rate
is 50 cents per thousand. This amounts
to not much over five per cent and many
seedsmen who are large importers are
still of the opinion that it merely was a
slip of the pen that made the rate possi-
ble. However, it seems to be to every-
one's advantage to keep the rate low,
except the government's, so why should
we worry?
ALARM IN CALIFORNIA.
Conditions in the central California
seed growing district are serious. This
has been the driest season in many
years and the long hoped for late rains,
that usually follow a dry winter, have
so far proved to be light showers of lit-
tle real value. It is now so late that
even should there be a good rain the
damage already done could not be fully
repaired.
The rainfall in the Santa Clara valley
has been about five inches, which is
only one-third of the average. Those
growers who have water available are
irrigating, and these may obtain fair
crops, but the bulk of the acreage must
depend upon rain alone.
The situation is aggravated by the
fact that the rainfall of the preceding
winter was also much below the average
and there is little reserve water in the
ground. It is reported that a seed
grower who rented a large ■ creage from
the Stanford estate at Palo Alto has
abandoned his lease after having gone
to the expense of plowing and seeding.

Mention The Review wbfp yon wrlf.
In some places sweet peas are coming
into flower prematurely, before having
made even normal growth for this date.
In the HoUister section the rainfall
has been about six inches, which is less
than half the average. The soil is moist
to a depth of only five or six inches and
this can hardly be made to carry the
crops to maturity, even with the best
tillage.
Hope of further rain has not been en-
tirely abandoned, but it is now so late
in the season that the chances of hav-
ing a soaking rain, such as is needed,
are slim indeed.
INTERSTATE SEED BILL AGAIN.
The bill to prohibit the interstate
shipment of impure seeds has been re-
introduced in the senate by Senator
Gronna, of North Dakota. It is the
same bill that failed of passage last ses-
sion and provides that the shipment for
seeding purposes from one state, terri-
tory or district of the United States
into another state, territory or district,
of seeds of alfalfa, barley, Canadian
blue grass, Kentucky blue grass, awn-
less brome grass, buckwheat, clover,
field corn, Kafir corn, meadow fescue,
flax, oats, millet, orchard grass, rape,
redtop, rye, sorghum, timothy, wheat,
or any other cereal or grass seeds, or
any vegetable seeds or flower seeds, or
mixtures of seeds containing any of such
seeds as one of the principal component
parts, which are adulterated or unfit
for seeding purposes under the provi-
sions of this act, is to be prohibited.
The Secretary of Agriculture shall make
such rules and regulations as will pre-
vent the shipment of such seed from one
state, territory or district into another
state, territory or district. This act
shall not operate to prohibit the ship-
ment of seeds for the purpose of clean-
ing them before offering them for sale,
but such shipments shall be made in
accordance with and be subject to such
regulations as the Secretary of Agri-
culture may deem necessary to prevent
the misuse of this privilege; and the
secretary may, if he considers it advis-
able, demand of the owner or consignee
a bond that such seed, before it is of-
fered for sale, will be cleaned to the
standard of purity specified in this act
or such standard as may subsequently
be established by the Secretary of Agri-
culture under the provisions of this act;

ALL MEN ARE
DIFFERENT.
Take two men and a
stream of water. One will
fish in it, while the other will
make it turn a saw mill. The
first is simply a lazy man.
A lazy man isn't any worse
than a dead man — but he
takes up more room.
The other fellow is the
worker, and the successful
man. When he locates him-
self he makes the best of his
circumstances. He works
the stream for all it's worth
and gets more real joy out
of it than the fellow who
fishes for suckers.
The florist who works
Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs
will get the same joy as the
fellow with the saw mill.
He must work — not merely
plant the bulbs and let inex-
perienced help take care of
them — he must watch them
himself, or have a reliable
man do it for him. Horse-
shoe Brand Giganteum and
Formosum will satisfy the
demands of any grower for
1913 deliveries. Send for

DISEASED BADISH LEAVES.
I am sending you a sample of radish
leaves, which show the marks of some
disease. In growing radishes here, in
northeastern Illinois, I am greatly trou-
bled with this disease. Please tell me
what I can use as a remedy. W. K.
The disease of the radish leaves is
due to a fungus commonly called downy
niildew, Peronospora parasitica. Prac-
tically all cultivated crucif erse are more
or less subject to it, and at times it
becomes quite destructive to radishes
3-nd other crucifers in the greenhouse,
'jenerally this fungus is associated with
another known as white rust, Cystopus
candidus.
The fungus appears as white, downy
patches on the under side of the leaf;
these patches increase in size until in
* few days the entire surface of the
■eaf is covered. The disease spreads
rapidly when once introduced into the
greenhouse and, unless preventive meas-
'ires are promptly applied, the crop suf-

Repeated spraying with Bordeaux
mixture, 5-5-50, will hold the disease in
check. A solution of potassium sul-
phide, three ounces to ten gallons of
water, is also to be recommended. It
is important that all diseased plants
should be burned; otherwise the resting

BBITTLE-STEMMED AND SLEEPY.
I have some acres of outside carna-
tions for cutting. I am much troubled
by brittleness of the stems and the
flowers fade unusually early; yet the
plants grow vigorously and splendidly.
Here, in the vicinity of Los Angeles,
Cal., there are ocean breezes day after
day and my place is generally free
from frost throughout the year. The
soil is a heavy sand-loam. Please tell
me what is the cause of my trouble.
S. M.
The most probable cause of the brit-
tleness of the stems and the sleepy
condition of the flowers soon after open-
ing is overfeeding. Try an application
of gypsum or land plaster and cut down
a little on the fertilizer. H. R, E.
PASADENA, CAL.
Spring Flower Show.
I'he eighth annual spring flower show
of the Pasadena Horticultural Society
opened April 10 in the big tent on the
Maryland hotel grounds. Mayor Will-
iam Thum and Eev. Chas. H. Scott were
the speakers of the occasion. The
weather, although rather warm, was
perfect, everything contributing to
make the event a delightful one. The
attendance on the opening afternoon
was quite satisfactory in spite of the
warmth. The cut flowers, however, did
not fare so well and by evening many
wilted blooms were apparent.
As usual, prizes were only for schools,
private growers and amateurs. Never-
theless, the exhibits of commercial
growers were decidedly creditable, and
without them the show would have
looked scant indeed.
Commercial Exhibits.
Certificates of merit were awarded
the following commercial displays:
Howard & Smith, for wonderful show-
ing of flowering and foliage plants, oc-
cupying the entire east side of the
tent and including the new red Chero-
kee rose, Ramona, which received spe-
cial mention.
The Orchid, for display of carnations,
pink, red, white and variegated.
Campbell Seed Store, 148 West Colo-
rado street, for exhibit of seeds, bulbs
and garden utensils. Planting tables,
telling when and what to plant, which
were given to all interested inquirers,
proved popular.
George F. Nilsson, 425 West Colorado
street, lor display of cyclamens. A num-
ber of varieties were shown, each
blooming profusely.
J. Dietrich, for display of roses.
Germain Seed Co., for sweet peas, iris,
tulips, narcissi and various other cut
flowers. This display also included
packages of seeds of all kinds.
Theodore Payne, for native plants.
Los Angeles Flower Market, for table
of tulips. These were all of one va-
riety and formed a bright spot of red
that attracted many an eye.
Mrs. W. 8. Laurie, 280 West Mon-
tana street, for bulbous cut flowers.
Mrs. Laurie was caught rather between
seasons and considering the consequent
scarcity of stock, decorated a most at-
tractive booth.
The Clemence Nurseries, 544 North
Catalina avenue, for bedding plants and
ferns. This display occupied a large
space along the north wall. All plants
were in pots, but so arranged as to
give a correct imitation of the beds as
they would appear if planted oilt.
Robert Pegg, of the Mentor Nursery,
25 South Mentor avenue, for large gen-
eral display of foliage and flowering
plants in great variety.
John H. Teekamp, 191 South Vernon
avenue, for potted tulips interspersed
with potted hyacinths.
The Nippon Nursery, East Orange
Grove and Hill avenues, for decorative
pot plants, both foliage and flowering.
Several rare specimens of Japanese ex-
traction were included in this exhibit.
Various Notes.
A large vase of Ulrich Brunner roses
from Miller's Rose Nursery, 329 North
Mentor avenue, attracted much atten-
tion and Beauties, with stems averaging
over sixty inches, excited the admira-
tion of all.
Miss Sadie A. Thomas, who special-
izes in chrysanthemums, was repre-
sented by a tastefully decorated basket
of California poppies and other wild
flowers.
The school displays went a long way
toward making the show a success. In
fact, if it had not been for these, much
trouble would have been experienced in
filling the space. Undoubtedly much
of the seeming scarcity was caused by
the fact that spring flowers occupy but
little space compared with fall flowers.
This resulted in a more open appear-
ance than was seen at the show in the
autumn, although the number of ex-
hibitors was about the same.
As usual, the exhibit of H. E. Hunt-
ington occupied the center of the hall.
It consisted of immense specimen palms
and a few beautifully grown pots of
adiantum.
Worthy of mention was a beautiful
display of flowering plants grouped near
the entrance and staged by Mrs. 8. W.
AUerton from her private collection.
Two tables of cacti in dozens of dif-
ferent forms attracted much interest
and elicited considerable comment from
the curious. A. C. B.
LOS ANQELES, CAL.
The Market.
The feature of the week was the sud-
den disappearance of daffodils from the
market. These have been arriving in
large quantities and they disappeared
so rapidly that retailers were taken by
surprise. The check given the early
varieties by the recent cold snap
brought the two sections together. Em-
peror and Golden Spur being on the mar-
ket at practically the same time. In
other lines of bulbous stock there is
plenty so far, freesias, tulips, ixias and
iris filling the bill. Roses and carna-
tions are fine now, with plenty of each
to go around. Orchids are scarce on
some days, on other days plentiful, but

the demand is also erratic. A few be-
gonias, gloxinias and other similar
stock help out with the plants, while
there are numbers of Easter lilies and
spiraeas still to be had.
Various Notes.
One of the later additions to the list
of cut flower growers for this market
is J. Bridgford, of Eagle Rock, who
handles a lot of good bulbous and other
stock. At the time of my visit there
was a fine show of Emperor daffodils
and several good tulips. But the thing
that appealed to a bulb lover most,
perhaps, was a grand lot of Lilium rub-
rum in the second year. These were
throwing up immense, strong growths,
many of them just flattening out for
flower, showing that the rich Eagle
Rock soil suits this lily well. Besides
the most popular roses for cutting, Mr.
Bridgford is trying out most of the
novelties and his rose grounds will soon
fee a mass of bloom. He has one rose,
said to be an especially good red, which
he has named The AngeTus, and I hope
to see and report on this later. It is
surely a magnificent grower. An un-
usual sight in southern California is a
good breadth of herbaceous peonies
^^^ this is one of the plants Mr.
B'idgford is experimenting with. The
plants are healthy and some of them
^'11 be in bloom by the time these
^otes appear. Two favorites here are
Jules Elie and Festiva Maxima. A new
g'^eenhouse and lath house are fceing
erected, but the recent heavy wind got
'^^ its work on the latter and blew part

of it out of shape. In a little over
two years Mr. Bridgford has made a
fine showing and he will soon be a
power to be reckoned with.
J. Mieuli, of C. C. Navlet Co., San
Jose, was married March 30 and has
been making a honeymoon trip, visiting"
this city, among others. He reports
business good.
C. E. Morton and several others in
the trade took a round trip to Long
Beach and Wilmington, calling on
Charles Brazee at the latter place and
on Herbert Morton at Liong Beach. Mr.
Morton reports business good for the
season, though falling off a little as
the tourists leave. At Mr. Brazee 's
the tulips were grand, the many fine
varieties being now at their best. The
trip, taken in Mr. Morton's new Buick,
was exceedingly enjoyable.
Trade is brisk with Morris Golden-
son and he has lots of fine stock. The
orders for the funeral of one well
known business man in the town to-
taled seventy-three pieces, many of
them of an elaborate character.
Business keeps up well at the Los
Angeles flower market. The number
of daffodils handled here this season
totaled around 750,000.
The H. N. Gage Co. is receiving fine
stock now from the Montebello ranch
in considerable variety. The stocks
and ranunculus are especially good.
Polder & Groen are cutting heavily
on good snapdragons. Their forget-
me-nots in pots are also pretty and
sell well. H. E. Richards.
SAN FEANCISOO, CAL.
The Market.
The spring avalanche of flowers has
arrived. Lilac, both purple and white,
is now at its best and is a good selling
article. Spanish iris, in a host of col-
ors, many of them new to this coast, is
also in big demand. Late flowering
outside-grown tulips are making a much
bigger showing than the earlier inside-
grown stock. Fruit blossoms, sweet
peas and late flowering daffodils help
to swell the showing, which, owing to
the favorable weather conditions, is the
best ever seen in San Francisco. Most
of the hyacinths are over and the vio-
lets are getting fewer daily. Inside
roses have gotten over the setback of
last month and the spring crop is well
under way. Carnations could not be
improved upon and the prices are low
throughout. Maidenhair ferns and as-
paragus are feeling the effects of the
warmer weather and the growers are
beginning to be more prodigal with the
sizes of the bunches sent to the retail-
ers. Business, however, is not as flour-
ishing as we should like to see it and
with the exception of funeral work
there is little doing.
Various Notes.
The California Retail Florists' Asso-
ciation held its regular moi^thly meet-
ing April 7, at Native Sons ' hall. There
was a large attendance and a pleasant
time for everyone.

The Market.
The fine spring weather seema to have
stimulated business, for trade in all
lilies is good and sales above the aver-
aj:e. Carnations are of fine quality,
aii'l, though some misguided individuals
eiKleavor to increase their output by
advertising cut prices, the majority gf
tho best stores are selling at 75 cents
pov dozen and handling just as many
flowers as usual. Daffodils are plenti-
ful, but still good blooms bring good
prices. Eoses are moving satisfacto-
rily and some fine stock is offered. The
small flowered gladioli make a pleasing
variety and are being used up for dec-
orations. Callas are more plentiful
than usual and are selling well. Pot
plants are not much in evidence, but
some roses, well grown and flowered, are
attractive.
Various Notes.
The Seattle Florists' Club gave a
dance April 2 for the benefit of the
flood sufferers. The committee in
charge of the benefit included Felix
Rosaia, Joseph Stuber, Frank Bell, Carl
Melby, T. B. Pritchard and Thomas
Wylie.
H. B. Slauson has a house of Brun-
ners coming into crop and it is a fine
sight. The second year of these plants
in solid benches evidently is profitable.
Mrs. Holze now has an assistant in
the store of the Queen City Floral Co.
The retail department of the business
has improved since the completion of
the new building.
The florists' bowling team in the city
league has completed its series, with
one victory to its credit.
Lambert E. Pedersen, of the East
Seattle Floral Co., has been confined
with a serious attack of lumbago.

PORTLAND, ORE.
The Market.
The weather in the last few days has
undergone a sudden change, which has
brought the stock out wonderfully.
Carnations are showing the effects
plainly. Enchantress carnations, espe-
cially, are soft and prove to be poor
keepers; the other varieties are not af-
fected to that degree. The roses are
producing a heavy cut. Maids, Brides,
Kif'hmonds, Carnota and Killarneys are
tho heaviest producers. The local de-
niand has held up well, and the out-of-
town wholesale trade is constantly de-
Dianding choice stock. There is not
much demand for carnations among the
^ liolesalers, however, as there seems to
' • a good local supply at the different
towns. Violets are on their last legs;
|''0 single ones are extremely scarce,
'I't double varieties are more plentiful.
^iveet peas are rapidly replacing them
j"i'l are of unusually fine types, with
' "g stems. There is a general scarcity
''■ blooming plants, with hydrangeas
|?;'d ramblers as the principal stock.
' 'le florists' windows are showing a
ariety of cherry and apple blossoms,
^ ith a fine effect.

WHITE LORRAINE BEQONIA.
Is there a white Gloire de Lorraine
begonia on the market? Last fall we
sent for some 2^-inch Lorraine be-
gonias and in the lot there happened to
be a white one. It grows a great deal
like the pink, but we believe it has
more leaves than the pink, which we do
not think is a bad fault. If you can
give us any hints on propagating we
shall appreciate your help, as we do not
seem to have any success with Lor-
raines. M. S.
There is a white Lorraine begonia,
not so much in demand as the pink one,
but an equally good grower. There is
no great difficulty in the propagation
of Lorraines if you have a good bottom
heat of 75 to 80 degrees, if the sand is
well drained, allowing the water to pass
through freely, and if you keep the
cuttings or leaves shaded. Leaf cut-
tings can be put in any time from the
beginning of December until the end of
March. Cut off a piece of the leaf stalk
with each leaf. After the end of March
and until June, plants which have been
rested a little and pruned back will
give plenty of nice cuttings, which
should root without trouble in a warm
propagating bench. You should try Be-
gonia Glory of Cincinnati another sea-
son; it is superior to Lorraine, and the
leaves are more easily propagated.
Always use well matured leaves for
propagating. If not hard they are sure
to rot off. C. W.
TO ERADICATE WILD OXAUS.
Do you know of anything that will
kill the plant of wild oxalis as well as
the bulbf We find considerable trouble
in getting rid of it. It grows in abun-
dance under the greenhouse benches.
L. H.
Plants under the benches can be de-
stroyed by watering with boiling water,
or water containing one of the weed
killers. Water containing potash or
salt will also eradicate them. In pots
they are troublesome and here the
aforementioned remedies can not, of
course, be tried. I do not know of any-
thing but hand weeding which will be
of avail in such cases. C. W.
SCALE ON BAY TREES.
What is the best way to clean off
scale from my bay trees t W, H. D.
Lay the bay trees on the floor and
syringe them vigorously and thoroughly
with a solution of Sulpho-tobacco soap,
the solution being composed of one
ounce of the soap to one gallon of
water. Give this treatment once a
week for several weeks, and unless it is
an unusually obstinate case the plants
should soon show improvement. In pre-
paring the soap solution, it is best to
use hot water to dissolve the soap, but
of course the solution must not be ap-
plied to the plants until it is cool.

The Florists^ Review
April 17, 1013.
There is complaint that the new classi-
fication largely increases freight rates in
southern territory on plants completely
crated or boxed.
L. C. Staek, vice-president of Stark
Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., Louisi-
ana, Mo., was in Chicago last week in
conference with the Taylor-Critchtield
Co., which handles the Stark advertising.
A LARGE importer suggests that ad-
mission free of duty be limited to
"forest tree coniferous seedlings" and
that it be further limited to those 3
years old or less, or those eighteen inches
high or less.
Timothy J. Maney, of Geneva, N. Y.,
has been engaged by the Iowa Experi-
ment Station as horticultural expert to
conduct experiments with a view to de-
termining and demonstrating the best
orchard methods. He will have his head-
quarters at Council Bluffs.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has granted the fourth section applica-
tion of M. P. Washburn, railroad agent,
to cancel the present commodity rates on
trees and shrubs from Chase and Hunts-
ville, Ala., to eastern cities and to permit
the application of the lower class rates
now in effect.
It develops that the customs authori-
ties are holding up for investigation a
number of entries as evergreen seedlings,
which are free of duty, where the mer-
chandise appears to be such conifers as
the trade ordinarily propagates by other
means to insure the stock coming true to
type.
The trade will be interested in the
letter on the tariff sent to the democratic
manager by James McHutchison & Co.,
New York, which appears on another
page of this issue. The full text of the
proposed law as it affects seeds and bulbs
appeared on page 90 of last week's issue
of The Eeview, while the paragraphs con-
cerning nursery stock were on page 86,
accompanied by comparisons with the
present law.
E. W. KiRKPATRiCK, of McKinney,
Tex., an ex-president of the American
Association of Nurserymen, was at Chi-
cago last week to attend the first national
conference on marketing and farm
credits. He was appointed a member of
a committee to confer with the govern-
ment in the matter of establishing a
bureau of effective marketing, under
which the producer and consumer will
deal directly with one another.
Dansville slowly is drying out after
the flood that swept the valley. Follow-
ing the cloudburst the dam went out and
the usually peaceful little creek cut an
entirely new channel for itself, directly
through the properties of several nursery-
men. Large quantities of stock were
washed out and the rush of waters down
the hillsides cut great gullies through
the fertile fields. The land is just get-
ting back to a point where one can get
on it and it will require a great deal of
work to put things back as they were.
There appears to be a decided differ-
ence of opinion as to the necessity or
even desirability of keeping the duty on
imported rose plants at 4 cents each in
the new tariff law. It amounts to a
full 100 per cent on some of the varieties
that are imported in considerable quan-
tity. The tariff committee of the A.
A. N. claimed at Washington that the
protection is needed, but some of the
seed houses that handle European gro vn
roses assert that the rate is not justifi >d.
PABCEL POST INSPECTION.
Eepresentative Baker, of California,
has introduced in the House a bill to
provide for the inspection of any par-
cel sent by mail which contains fruits,
plants, trees, shrubs, nursery stock,
grafts, scions, peach pits, cotton seed

NXmSEBTMEN WIN SUIT.
A suit instituted by Bobbink & At-
kins, of Rutherford, N". J., against the
Erie Bailroad Co., to secure the payment
of damages for the loss of a shipment
of trees, has been decided in favor of
the nurserymen. After listening all
day to the evidence in the case, the
jury required only about five minutes
to reach a decision, and returned a ver-
dict of $1,800.50 in favor of the plain-
tiflfs.
In April, 1908, Bobbink & Atkins
had several carloads of shade trees
shipped from Hoboken to East Ruther-
ford, via the Erie railroad. It appears
that the railroad company, instead of
utilizing box cars for making the ship-
ment, according to the usual method,
used open gondola cars, and as the
trees were wrapped in burlaps, sparks
from a passing locomotive set fire to
the inflammable material while the cars
were on a siding at East Rutherford,
and the trees were destroyed. The
claim was for $1,361.50 for the loss
of the trees, besides interest from the
date of the occurrence. The interest is
included in the verdict of the jury.
PLANT QUAEANTINE DECISION.
The Federal horticultural board
recommended that regulation 5 of the
rules and regulations for carrying out
the plant quarantine act, published in
Circular No. 41, revised, office of the
secretary, be amended by the addition
of the following:
'^■^1.: ' Petmlta for the catty of nursery stock or otiwr

porter has knowingly shipped Into the United
States any nursery stock, or other plants and
plant prodocts. the Importation of which is for-
bidden by the Secretary of Agriculture under the
authority conferred by section 7 of this act.
Regulation 5, as amended, became
effective April 15.

grown are prepared in this shape. This does not mean little seedlings, but in the
majority of cases the plants were field-grown, were dug and potted during the fall
and winter months, and are just the right size to give immediate results. They are
not to be compared with so-called field clumps. Try them and be convinced. See

ITHACA, N. Y.
A vegetable gardening train was run
over the New York Central lines last
week. Although farm trains have been
run by various railroads in different
states, this is the first train ever sent
out for the vegetable gardening inter-
ests alone. It consisted of two cars,
one containing an exhibit of vegetables,
greenhouse material and models, seeds,
model hotbed, potted plants, implements,
cultivators, seed drills, charts, photo-
graphs, publications, etc.
The train was in charge of F. S.
Welch, agricultural representative of
the railroad, and Prof. A. C. Beal, of
the department of horticulture. Stops
were made at Newburgh, Kingston, Cats-
kill, Coxsackie, Albany, Schenectady and
Troy. The stops were usually for one
day, but Catskill and Coxsackie were
visited in one day. Lectures were given
on greenhouse construction, planting
home grounds and school gardens, by
Professor Beal; on growing early plants,
planting and transplanting vegetables,
planning gardens and home gardens, by
A. E. Wilkinson; on intensive vegetable
growing, irrigation, harvesting, pack-
ing and marketing, market gardening
and growers' organizations by Paul
Work.
There was a large attendance, and
great interest was manifested in the
exhibits and the discussions.
Bockville Center, N. Y.— The George
T. Schuneman Co., formerly at Baldwin,
N. Y., is now in business here. Mr.
Schuneman makes a specialty of the
growing of violets and has won many
prizes for his exhibits of these flowers.

This variegated carnation, sent out by Mr.
Peter Fisher last season, is the finest varie-
gated variety, and one off the very best car-
nations off any color, ever sent out.
It has immediately attained a commanding posi-
tion among the very choicest sorts, and will add to
Mr. Fisher's already enviable list of introductions.
It is indispensable.
It is a very early and free bloomer, matures
quickly, making vejy perfect flowers of the largest
size on long stems; does not split the calyx.

MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Business for the last two weeks was
not rushing, though stock up to the
middle of last week was coming in just
the same; consequently the prices
dropped a notch or two. But, with a
whole week of absolutely no sunshine,
receipts began to shorten considerably
and on Friday business took a sudden
jump and cleaned up almost every-
thing. Koses and sweet peas were
■equal to the occasion, while more good
carnations would have come in handy.
Beauties are a rather scarce article
these days. Violets are deteriorating
in quality, thus pointing to their end
for this season.
Various Notes.
On Sunday, April 13, about fourteen
Milwaukee bowlers — at least they think
they are — took their annual trip to Chi-
cago to roll the return game that was
promised the boys when up here a short
time ago. Well, it did not take long
to have them put it all over us and
then some. But we forgot all about
the defeat after they took us in tow
and saw to it that none of us, while
their guests, suffered any neglect.
The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. has only
words of praise when talking about
the new delivery car. The expense thus
far has been small and the car has
covered more than 6,000 miles to date.
Nohos & Co., on Grand avenue, re-
port transient trade as excellent toward
the end of last week.
H. V. Hunkel, of the Holton & Hun-
kel Co., returned from the National
Flower Show April 11 and pronounces it
a grand affair. Wm. B. Currie, who
also attended the show, will not re-
turn for another two weeks.
The Currie Bros. Co. reported an ex-
ceedingly busy week, both in the flower
and seed line.
G. Eusch, of G. Eusch & Co., went to
Chicago a couple of days ahead of the
bowlers, to transact business and ob-
serve market conditions.
The C. C. PoUworth Co. reports last
week's trade as fair, with a good sup-
ply of carnations coming in daily.

The Market.
Trade has been quite heavy on fu-
neral work lately, especially after re-
covery of the bodies from the flood.
Stock has been quite plentiful, espe-
cially carnations, which have been com-
ing in heavily and have been used up
closely at all times. Eoses have been
in fair supply and have .been about
enough to go the rounds. Beauties have
been in fair supply, with demands about
equal to the supply. Sweet peas have
been rather scarce. There is still some
bulbous stock to be had, such as Murillo
tulips, daffodils, jonquils and a few
Paper Whites. Violets are dwindling,
with demand also falling off. Lilies
have been more plentiful, both in callas
and Harrisii. Pot plants are selling well
and there is still a good selection to
be had.
Various Notes.
Sherman Stephens has been badly
crippled since the flood, as telephones
and street car service are still out of
commission, but he hopes soon to see
the city again..
Eobert Buehler, who lost nearly all
his household goods and whose garden
plot is nothing but a gravel bar, said
he was glad he got out alive.
Charles Buehler has decided to give
up his business, as his houses, stock and
all household goods are gone. He has
not yet decided on his future plans.

The Florists^ Review
Apbil 17, 1913.
r# INDIANAPOLIS, IND.
The Market.
The last week has been about the
dullest in the florists' line that we have
experienced in a long time. Trade of
all kinds has been practically at a
standstill since the flood. The weather
has been rainy and cloudy for the last
week, adding to the gloom which cov-
ered the city.
With the exception of carnations,
stock has not been overplentiful. Car-
nations have been a glut on the market,
bringing as low as $2.50 per thousand.
The cloudy weather has put a damper on
the rose supply. Sweet peas probably
suffered more, as most of the buds
damped off and they can not be secured
in any quantity. Home-grown violets
are a thing of the past. Owing to the
absence of funeral work there has been
little call for Easter and calla lilies.
Bulbous stock is still to be had in
quantities. Orchids and valley have
been having a better call since the
violets are gone.
Various Notes.
Adolph Baur, George Wiegand, Irwin
Bertermann and Eaymond Kester have
returned from the New York show and
all express themselves as being well
repaid for their trip. George Wiegand
stopped off at Cleveland, and Adolph
Baur at Erie, on the return trip.
Adolph Baur stated that the west was
not as well represented at the show as
it should have been.
Myer Heller, formerly of the Hill-
Heller Co., is advertising extensively

ties to the Indianapolis retail market

The Rorists' Review
Apbil 17, 1913.
A SEARCH FOR JSNAPDRAGaft
. The writer took a trip to the great Flower Shou
and
vJifit the early momlbir hours in the wholesale flower
district of New York. Having anapdragon on the 1 rain
every variety caught his eye. He saw many buyers pajj
the high- class fancies and mixed lots but eagerly .seek
the silvery pink strains. One lot of sanuln* Silver
Pink was cleaned up in his presence by two buyers on
arrival, and the salesman said that it was so with every
shipment. This search was instructive and gratifyiQg
and we wish to say : '
FIRST:— It you grow snapdragon atall, select a good
one and grow it well— give it room, keep it straight, and
market it while it is fre»h
SECOND:— If you want a vatiaty tliat the buyers
take, grow SILVER PINK. The buyvrtB |De man that
we must all cater to. Our opinion caUHt* but little
against the man at the end of the llne^the man with
the money.
Silver Pink has two attractive features— Its color, and '
habit of growth. -It does net-«>*ry-*ny un»lKhtly side
growth to lop over and appear wilted. All shoots can
remain, which, by their stiffness and gradual shortonin;
as they near the flower, give a symmetrical stock with
follas* and fflowar combined. Look into this coint.
It is a strong one . Disbudding mean s much time Inst and
a decollete flower stem. If you wish a demonstration
send 25c for sample spike with all growth and cuttings
attached. My original Silver Pink is a clean-cut stand-
ard, far ahead of the list in style and color, which appeals
to the buyer on sight.
SOW SEEDS NOW
if you want good plants for fall and winter blossoms.
We offer seed— our own growing— at $1 .00 per pkt. of over
600 seeds; 3 pkts., $2.50. Also a few seedling plants at $3 00 per 100: 200 for $5.00, by express Seedlings will throw an occasional pleasing sport, aside
from which the color is abiolutely perfect and true. If plants from cuttings are preferred will book your order for July and August delivery at $4 00 per
100; $35.00 per 1000. Cash must accompany all orders.

EVANSVILLE, IND.
The Market.
Since the high water receded, busi-
ness has been resuming normal con-
ditions. The flood was the greatest we
ever had. As the railroads were nearly
all out of commission, few trains were
leaving here and the express companies
would not handle flowers or any per-
i hable commodities. But business is
fairly satisfactory now, and, with
plenty of flowers of all kinds, the
florists are filling all orders with dis-
patch.
Various Notes.
Julius Xiednagel & Sons are doing
their usual good business, with plenty
of flowers to fill their orderf.
The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. al-
ways has a tasteful window display of
seasonable plants and flowers. Busi-
ness is good.
Ben Kramer is well satisfied with his
trade. He is using lots of carnations.
Karl Zeidler is cutting some fine
carnations. He has built a house for
roses and already has it partly planted.
Henry Seymour has lots of fine carna-
tions in pink, white and red.
Miss Nellie Goodge is attending to
business regularly again, as her health
seems much improved.
J. C. Elspermann has been exceed-
ingly busy lately and has had consider-
able funeral, work. At the time of
writing, April 14, his force of help are
making a goodly number of large de-
signs for four different funerals.

The Market.
The making of gardens and all land-
scape work have been set back because
of the cold, wet weather we are hav-
ing; therefore the sale of seeds and
bedding plants has not really begun in
earnest. Shrubs, trees and other hardy
stock are selling now, however. Pansies
are in fine shape and are finding ready
sale. Cut pansies are also in demand
and are of good quality. Carnations
are falling off in supply somewhat, and
Perfection, Pink Delight and Wards are
the best as far as quality goes. Snap-
dragons, yellow marguerites and free-
sias are finding favor as spring flowers,
a little out of the usual run. Bulbous
stock is overabundant and cheap. Box
trees are selling now.
Various Notes.
The Montgomery Rose Co., of Hadley,
Mass., is shipping some good roses ' to
this city.
Ernest Short spent a few days in
New York city last week. He also at-
tended the flower show.
M, Aitken did the decoration for the
Metropolitan Life triennial banquet at
Hotel Kimball, April 11. Carnations
were placed for each of the 350 guests.
George Carty visited Hadley Falls
last week.
L. D. Eobinson and wife visited the
National Flower Show in New York.
A jardiniere sale is on at M. Ait-
ken's place.
The florists of this city are rejoicing
over the fact that the clergymen of
the vario a churches are trying to put
an end to Sunday funerals. This, of
•course, would lighten Sunday work for
the florists a great deal.
L. H. Butts has a fine lot of English
daisies at the greenhouses of Nelson F.
Higgins, ready for the spring trade.
John Donaldson is back at work
again.
H. F. Palmer, of West Hartford, is
producing better peas now and they
find a ready sale here. The white varie-
ties and the pinks, such as Blanche
Ferry and Painted Lady, are very
scarce.
We are receiving excellent snapdrag-
ons, pansies and yellow marguerites
from J. M. Cohen, of Boston.
The State street florists are vying
with each other each week with sales
of all kinds of cut flowers.
For the last few weeks trade has been
•dull. During the week and on Satur-
days there is a rush of funeral work,
plants and cut flowers. We are glad
there are busy Saturdays, but we wish
there were more busy days during the
week. E. C. A.
Johnstown, Pa. — Mr. and Mrs. Will-
iam Schmidt recently celebrated their
twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, at
their home on Westmont. Besides his
range of greenhouses on Westmont, Mr.
Schmidt has a store in the Franklin
building, on Franklin street.

each plant has plenty of room to grow short and
stocky with extra good roots. Ready to bud and
bloom; good stock to transplant and sell last

bronzes and best fancy sorts In large proportion,

In a late number of the Market Growers' Jour-
nal, in a symposium on tomato growing, five of
the six writers comtoended BONNY BEST. One
calls it a "top-notcher," another says his patrons
would take no other if Bonny Best was on the
wagon. The qualities mentioned are earlinesa,
almost the first; most desirable In size, smooth-
ness, velvety red, thrlftlness of plant, long bear-
ing season, great productiveness, excellent for
early or main crops. We have thousands of plants
of this variety, transplanted, tough, stocky, well
rooted, extra fine strain, sure to please, $1.00
per 100. Ready now.

SuBSCRiBEBS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Beview to make a choice of ap-

believe, the best for the trade to buy,

SIZE OF STEAM PIPES.
Kindly let your heating expert pass
on the following question: We have a
new greenhouse, 25x100 feet, to be
heated by steam. Our engineer claims
that by putting in larger pipes, better
results would be secured than with
small ones. He also claims that this is
the latest thing in heating. I do not
agree with him. The piping in the new
greenhouse is as follows: One 4-inch
supply and one 2-inch return on each
side. Now, the question is: Would it
be possible to keep the temperature up
to the requirements of palms and roses
in winter, with zero weather, on ten
pounds of steam t Our engineer claims
it would. As we have a new boiler and
intend to put new heating pipes in the
rest of the houses, I want to be sure be-
fore we start. The boiler capacity is
quite large, but we are not permitted to
carry more than ten pounds of steam.
We' are located in Pennsylvania.
C. B.
There is no reason for having the
supply pipe as large as 4-inch, as a 2V^-
inch supply would be ample and a 2-
inch pipe would answer to carry the

Continuous Firing for Four Years Twenty-
four Hours a Day Fails to Burn Out
Cyclone Grates
We have installed many sets of Cyclone Grates where these figures
liave held true.
Any grate§ that show no evidence of burning after four years' con-
tinuous firing twenty-four hours a day must have something exceptionally
worth while about them.
Cyclone Grates resist burning because the Cyclone Plan insists upon a
mixture of iron being used which years of experience and experiment
have found best suited for the purpose.
THIS GRATE WILL SAVE YOU MONEY
NOT ONLY IN FUEL, BUT IN REPAIRS

pipe to carry the returns from a house
21x50 feet, and the question is asked
whether it is large enough to carry the
return water from another house of
the same size. Neither the letter nor
the blile print indicates whether steam
or hot water is used, except that from
the size of the return pipe it is probably
hot water. In either case the return
is sufficient for both houses.
To heat the new greenhouse to 60
degrees, run a 2Mj-inch flow pipe on
each of the plates, and place eight 2-
inch pipes under the east bench and
six on the west wall posts.
If the south end is much exposed, it
might be well to run a third flow un-
der the ridge, and with it feed four
2-inch pipes, two of which can be car-
ried in either direction around to the
north end of the house. In addition to
these returns, there should be flye on
the east and three on the west side.
A PENNSYLVANIA ADDITION.
I intend to build one house, 22x150,
this summer, building it at the north
side of my present houses and taking
out the present side wall. Please tell
me how much 1%-inch pipe will be re-
quired to carry a temperature of 60 de-
grees in zero weather and what size of
supply pipe would be suitable
U. G. H.
One of the simplest methods of piping
a house such as described is to run a
2%-inch flow pipe two feet below the
ridge and use nine 1%-ineh returns. A
part of the returns can be under the
benches, or in the walks if solid beds
are used, but most of them should be
on the walls. In case the end of the
house is much exposed, it will be well
to start the wall coils at the middle of
the farther end of the house and carry
them along the walls back to the end
of the house nearest the boiler.

Cast Iron Boiler Cracked
in Two Years
"We have a No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler. It
takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass; It would
take care of twice that amount.
I first had a new cast iron boiler which
lasted two years, when it cracked to piece*.
The second was a second-hand boiler.
I consider your boiler the best paying in-
vestment I ever made.
You can refer anyone to us."
MARYSVILLB FLORAL CO..
. MarysviUe, Ohio.
Caat Iron Cannot be Compared
with Kroeschell
"We bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1904. It
takes care of 5000 sq. ft. of glass, and we
could add 2000 more. We are very well satis-
fied. We used a cast iron boiler before we
had yours. It cannot be compared with the
Kroeschell Boiler. Your boiler has certainly
a great capacity for heating water."
HALL & ROBINSON.
Montreal, Canada.
Kroeschell Better Than Cast Iron
"I bought a No. 6 Boiler in 1903. It has
now 10,000 sq. ft. of elass, and we could add
:t:iOO more. This ii anead of five or six cast
iron boilers which I have used. I saved |S0
per season on the coal bill."
M. C. WARD, Qulncy, Mass.
"I bought a No. 4 Boiler In 1902. Has 7000
sq. ft. of glass; could add 2000 more. It Is
perfectly satisfactory. Would keep only
Kroeschell Boiler, would not have a cast
iron boiler for a gift."
GEO. ENGEL. Xenia, Ohio.
Mr. Engel has increased his plant and
ordered*another No. 4 Kroeschell.
Better Than Cast Iron
"We bought a No. 1 Boiler In 1902. It is
very satisfactory. We had several cast iron
boilers, but like yours much better."
E. FERRAND & SONS, Detroit. Mich.
Cost of Heating One-Half Less
Than With Cast Iron Boilers
"I bought a No. 3 Boiler in 1901. We had a
corrugated cast iron fire box boiler and a sec-
tional cast iron boiler before we bought yours
in 1901. The cost of the beating with your
boiler is one-half less than it was with my
cast iron boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler, which
we bought recently of you, is not being run
to Its capacity."
WM. GEENEN, Kimberly, Wis.
Has enlarged place and installed another
No. 6 Kroeschell.
Kroeschell vs. Cast Iron
"I have one of your new 1910 model
Kroeschell Boilers, and same has proven very
satisfactory. We have no tronble to keep
temperatures in the coldest weather. We
fire once or twice during the day, and once
at night, and have had the best satisfaction
1 have ever experienced In a boiler. Formerly
I had two cast iron boilers; ope cracked and
I took both of these boilers out. My coal bill
with the caat iron boilers ran from $195 to
$207 per season during the past seven years.
This year, with your boiler and soft coal, m.v
coal bill was only $103, and I still have some
coal left. Your boiler is the best and cheap
est on the market, not alone for the price, but
also In fuel saving. I am very glad that you
are so well known in BufTalo, N. Y. I have
never heard anything but praise, in which
I join heartily. Wishing you every success,

Does This Solve Your
Problem ?
Have your Conifers, Hardy Shrubs or Hedges the appearance of being stunted?
Have you learned what ails them?
Ib it not an attack from red spider which has done so much havoc to the Eyergreens the past few
seasons?
If BO, you can overcome it by using SC ALINE, which will rid your plants of this pest and will
promote a healthy growth.
C^ A I IWp* is an effective material that can be used in the growing season for aphis,
thrips, red spider, mealy bug, soft scale and all sap sucking insects. It
can be safely applied to all hardy plants.
As a winter spray for San Jose and all hard Bcale it has no equal.
SC ALINE is composed of a high grade of petroleum and contains the properties of the well
known fungicide, FUNGINE, also making it an excellent preventative against various blights
affecting trees and shrubs.
It is readily soluble in water, contains no sediment and can be applied through the finest
spray nozzle; being more economical than the old-fashioned Kerosene Emulsion and Fish Oil Soaps
and much more effective. "^ >

The regular monthly meeting of the
Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural
Society was held in Doran's hall, April
11, with President Robert Williamson
in the chair. Considering the inclem-
ent weather, a large number of mem-
bers were present to hear the lecture
given by Professor Jarvis, of Storrs
College, on the "Diseases of Fruit
Trees." which proved to be practical
and instructive. A large number of
pictures were shown, to illustrate the
methods of pruning, planting, etc.,
recommended for the reclaiming of old
orchards, so long neglected in this
state. Professor Jarvis answered in
an able manner the many questions put
to him. A hearty vote of thanks was
accorded him for his address, which
proved to be one of the best of the
season.
On account of the International Show
in New York, where a large number
of the members were exhibiting, the
exhibits at the meeting were not so
much in evidence as usual. The awards
were as follows :
Thomas Ryan, coltaral certificate for splendid
lot of sweet peas.
James Forster, cultural certificate for fine spee-
imen marguerite.
A. Wynne, cultural certificate for Schizanttana
WlsetonenslB.
Tbomas Ryan, honorable mention for Hydran-
gea Hortensla.
P. W. Popp, honorable mention for Chrysan-
themum Seven Oaks. This chrysanthemum,
which has previously been recognized by the so-
ciety, is a golden yellow and a continuous bloomer
and should be of great commercial value.
Several new members were elected.

from the injury to his stock. Half of
one house was torn away and thrown
violently against a house a few yards
distant. It is estimated that 3,500
square feet of glass were destroyed.

If You Want to Plow Your House,
Our New Cantilever Construction
Has Great Advantages
D
|0 plow in a house
filled with columns
is almost impossible.
At least, it is so difficult
that after one atte^ipt, with
the whiffletree continually
catching in the columns,
preventing plowing closely, you give it up in
disgust.
For vegetable or sweet pea and violet growing,
it is a great saving to plow.
This new cantilever construction reduces the
number of columns 25% and in some widths
50%.
Another thing about it is, you can locate the
columns practically where you want them to
meet your ideas about walk
locations.
It's the least arbitrary of
all the constructions.
Fewer rafters and fewer
purlins are used.
It has no tension trussing.
In spite of all its many advantages, it costs
no more than the regular standard flat rafter
construction.
It's worth looking into carefully.
The growers are taking hold of it better even
than we anticipated.
Send for new descriptive circular.

The Florists^ Review

m "AND DEPONENT SAITH
FURTHER, AS FOLLOWS:"
Out of a great mass of testimonials in support of tiie excellent character of Cypress for greenhouse
construction, we have singled these few for your consideration:
Arthur Cowee, Gladiolus Specialist, proprietor of "Meadowvale Farm," Berlin, N. T., writes: "My
houses are now ten years old and I have not yet been obliged to spend one dollar in repairing any wood-
work, with the exception of some of the posts. My only regret has been that I have not used CTPRE>SS for
the benches, which I think would have been cheaper for me in the end than using hemlock, which, of course,
with us is very much cheaper per thousand."
That's the point, CYPRESS literally CHEAPER in the end. Mr, Cowee names the proper system, —
FIGURE THE COST BY THE YEAR.
John C. Monlnger Co., Greenhouse Builders, Chicago, say: "We first began using CYPRESS exclusively
for greenhouse construction in 1885, using it previous to that time in conjunction with pine. The green-
houses built with clear CYPRESS, free of sap, 21 YEARS AGO, are being used today by their owners and the
wood is found perfectly preserved and free of any decay or rot." Ask this prominent concern about the
"cheaper" substitutes, and why they won't use them nor attempt to dump inferior values onto their customers.
The DIngee & Conard Co., Rose Growers, West Grove, Pa., say: "We have used CYPRESS lumber for
greenhouse building for many years, and we find that there Is no lumber we can secure so satisfactory for
that purpose." Nothing in that about a "cheaper substitute," is there?
Bobbink & Atkins, Importers, Nurserymen and Florists, Rutherford, N. J., are not backward in coming
forward: "We would say that CYPRESS lasts with us from two to three years longer than any other wood
for table purposes, and ITS LIFE SEEMS TO BE ENDLESS WHEN USED IN ORDINARY GREENHOUSE
CONSTRUCTION. W^e use CYPRESS solely in our plant tub department."
Wagner Park Conservatories, Sidney, Ohio, rise to remark: "We use NOTHING BUT CYPRESS in the
construction of our greenhouses, as we find it the most economical, on account of it outlasting other kinds
of wood." No comfort there for the "substitute" lumbers.
Bassett & Washburn, Growers and Wholesale Dealers in Cut Flowers, Chicago, testify:
"We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-lnch stock lasted only about four years, while so
far, we have had no 'Pecky' CYPREJSS rot out In 10 or 12 years. We use clear CYPRESS for all our roof work,
ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind jof lumber for the purpose." Not
bad, is it?
'• 'PECKY' CYPRESS FOR THE BENCHES— NOTHING BUTI"
Draw freely on our Cypress Pocket Library — they are free. Vol. 3, "The Only Greenhouse Wood;" Vol.
22, "Cypress for Silos and Tanks," and Vol. 28, "Cypress for All Trellises and Arbors." WWte for what you
need, or hope to need, or ought to need.

The Florists' Review
Here is Proof Positive of the Worth of the Electric
CARSON, PIRIE, SCOTT & CO., one of Chicago's
greatest mercantile institutions, operate 64
motor delivery vehicles. Fifty-two of them are
Electrics.
Gimbel Brothers of New York have an all-motor
delivery system of 127 machines— of which eighty-
nine are Electrics.
Abraham &> Straus, Brooklyn's greatest depart-
ment store, use 26 motor vehicles in making deliv-
eries—of which twenty-three are Electrics.
Electric Vehicles will gire Florists the same efficient, economical, depend-
able service. Besides those considerations, an Electric is a distinctive, im-
pressive means of advertising a Florist's business. You should investigate
now by sending for interesting literature today.
Public Interest and private advantage
both favor the Electric

SK THE average florist and
he will tell you, if he can
remember the name, that we
owe the success of Mothers'
day to Miss Anna Jarvis —
but the florist is wrong. Just take your
head in your hands and think hard for
a minute; it will dawn on you that we
are indebted to Miss Jarvis for an idea,
nothing more; for the success of the
"day" we are to credit our-
selves, us, we, the members of
the trade who know a good
thing when they see it and
who are sufficiently progres-

Mothers' day is the second
Sunday in May. In 1913 it
falls early. May 11, so it is
time to get busy. Perhaps it
is worth retelling here, briefly,
how Mothers' day came to be.
Story of Mothers' Day.
Mothers' day broke out
sporadically all over the
United States in 1908. It
took the florists by surprise,
as they had not heard of it.
Many wrote The Review for
information, the first letter
coming ftom Chapin Bros.,
Lincoln, Neb. In the last issue
of April, 1909, The Review
brought Mothers' day conspic-
uously to the attention of the
whole trade, with suggestions
for exploiting it — and you know
the rest; it has put thousands
upon thousands of dollars into
the pockets of the trade.
That first year, when The
Review undertook to trace
the origin of Mothers' day,
't proved no easy task. The
Women's organizations all dis-
claimed responsibility but
said, "It's a fine idea; we
shall help it along." Finally,
the search led, through the
exchange editor of a Chicago daily,
^ho had run a paragraph about it, to
^'ss Jarvis in Philadelphia, who con-
fessed to having conceived the idea
ID the desire to commemorate the an-
niversary of her mother's death. In
laying some flowers on her mother's
pave it occurred to her that it would

That was what caused Mothers' day to

The Date.

ond Sunday in May, is at a time flowers

strong for the supply of white carna-
tions— there were not enough to go
around — and The Review suggested
"white flowers for mother's memory;
bright flowers for mothers living."
This did not meet with the approval
of Miss Jarvis, who does not like to
have her ideas tinkered with, but it
was the only way that the development
r'f Mothers' day could be continued.
,^ To limit its observance by
the supply of white carna-
tions would be the height of
folly. So the trade unani-
mously adopted the wording
suggested by The Review— in
practically every Mothers '
day advertisement used by the
retailers last year The Re-
view's "white flowers, bright
flowers" lines were used. It
worked. Almost as many col-
ored as white flowers were sold.
Let's Reverse It.
Mothers' day, based on a
sentiment that made an in-
stantaneous popular appeal, has
grown because the florists have
exploited it. There has been
scarcely any help. Such out-
side help as has come has been
because of what the florists
did; we made the day the na-
tional affair it has become; it
is our day; we must not pause;
we must push it harder than
ever.
In this year's advertising
let us put the bright flowers
first:
Bright flowers for Mothers liv-

White flowers for Mother's mem-

though she never thought of that. We
can 't improve it, so we let it go at that.
No Special Flowed
Miss Jarvis suggested the white car-
nation as the Mothers' day flower par
excellence. "Its whiteness stands for
purity; its form, beauty; its fragrance,
love; its wide field of growth, charity;
its lasting qualities, faithfulness — all a
true mother's attributes," she wrote.
But the way the sentiment appealed to
the people, when the florists be-
gan to advertise the day, was too
How Florists Help.
Every florist can, and
should, help push along the
Mothers' day observance. It
can be done in many ways:
As a beginning, take space in your
best local paper for a Mothers' day
advertisement. Advertise strongly; it's
planting good seed on well prepared
ground. Or get the florists in your
town to pool their funds in the way
that has been so successful in Cleve-
land, Washington, Columbus, Minneap-

Then, too, you can go as far as you
like with the Woman's Club,* the

ternal societies. The idea appeals to
all classes.
Perhaps you can get the mayor, or
«yen the governor, to issue a Mothers'

motherless daughters of some oflScials
bave written letters to the newspapers.
Get busy — think up something to help
the day along. Don't let the people in
your locality overlook the approach of
a day that has had more gratuitous ad-
vertising than any other flower day ever
had; dozens of big publications have
lately printed articles that we can now
turn into cash.
In this issue are letters from a few
of the florists who exploited Mothers'
day last year. These are selected from
the large number that reached The Re-
view, as fair examples of the lot, each
one aflfording an idea that can be am-
plified or modified to meet the needs of
individual cases elsewhere. The ideas
presented in The Review are to use-—
use them — don't hesitate at appropri-
ating anything useful you see.
00-OPEEATIVE ADVERTISINO.
Where the Trade Pools Its Funds.
Cooperative advertising, where all
the florists in a community put their
money into a common fund for gen-
eral publicity purposes, seems to work
splendidly. It has been tried a num-
ber of times as the result of sugges-
tions printed in The Review and it
seems always to work well. If most of
the florists in a town go into it, $5 or
$10 from each usually suffices for a
fairly good showing and the results
are out of proportion to the small cost.
In a recent issue The Review described
the success that had attended the co-
operative advertising for St. Valen-
tine's day by the florists of Columbus.
They said they surely would repeat for
Mothers* day.

This most beautiful idea and, sentiment
originated with Miss Annie Jarvis, of
Philadelphia. The happy thought occur-
red to her that all mothers, whether living
or dead, should be especially honored some
one day each year, and the second Sunday
in May was set aside as "Mother's Day."
The florists of Washington and through-
out the country are making every prepara-
tiqn to supply their customers and ihe
public in general with flowers appropriate

■The purpose of this announcement is to
properly bring "Mother's Day" to the at-

popularity of this beautiful idea.

the Minneapolis Florists' Club spent
$130 in advertising Mothers' day. The
results were so good C. N. Ruedlinger
says they will repeat.
The Detroit florists raised a sum of
money through voluntary contributions
and for Mothers' day ran the adver-
tisement shown at the top of this page
in every paper in Detroit. The results
were excellent.
How It Worked in Cleveland.
The Cleveland florists have used the
cooperative advertising plan for two
successive Mothers' days. It worked
so well in 1911 that it was repeated in
1912. But let F. R. Williams, manager
of the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., tell
the story:
"I have read with interest the dif-
ferent articles in the last edition of
The Review regarding the business
created for Mothers' day from the
florists' point of view, and thought I
would give you an outline of the way
the Cleveland florists went after the
business. As your Cleveland corre-
spondent wrote, it was the best and
most profitable clean-up on all lines
ever known. If the volume of busi-
ness done here was less than at Easter
it was because there were fewer flowers
and plants to be had; the demand was
better and livelier in every way. A
year ago, at a meeting of the Flower
Club held just before Mothers' day,
many of the florists subscribed to a
fund which amounted to $211, which
was spent for banners to be placed on
wagons, or show cards for the win-
dows, and the balance was spent for
newspaper advertisements reading like
the show cards for the windows. No
names were mentioned, leaving each
florist to get, as he thought best, his
share of the trade created. This year
the florists subscribed $250 for the
same purpose, and it was money well
spent. We got a great deal of free
advertising; the newspapers printed
columns about Mothers' day and the
churches held special services. Wh;it
we did can be done in any city any-
where in this country if the florists will
work together."
Good Ideas in Washington.
After reading The Review's Moth-
ers' day article last year, several Wash-
ington, D. C, florists got together and
printed in the Herald the four-column
advertisement shown much reduced on
this page. Their experience developed
some excellent ideas. Writing the
morning after Mothers' day, Z. D.
Blackistone said:
"This ad, explaining the origin ari(i
purpose of Mothers' day, as you will
notice came out Saturday morning and

The Florists' Review
IS
^as paid for jointly by five retail flo-
fists and one wholesale firm. The or-
iginal intention was to have a much
larger ad than this appear earlier in. the
week. However, when it came to the fi-
nal question of paying for it we found
only a few florists who were willing
to support it. I have consulted all of
thoae who contributed toward this ad
an.l everyone has expressed himself as
gratified with the result. They report
an increase over last year's business
froi.i 100 per cent to 300 per cent. No
doubt the inserting of this ad played
an important part in this result.
' ■ It is apparent to me now, while the
maner is fresh in my mind, that the
flo lists by combining and properly ad-
vertising can popularize this day and
educate the people so that the demand
for colored flowers will be as great as
the demand for white. After explain-
in? the distinction between the pur-
pose of the white and the bright flow-
ers, I find that the public likes this
idea better than all white flowers. It
is only a question of getting them to
understand that the bright flower is
the appropriate flower for the living
mother. Then the demand for these
for bouquet* and boxes will be equal
to the demand for white, which are
worn in memory.
"The advertising for this day should
be carefully planned and the field
could be well covered by inserting
three large ads, one on the ^cond
Thursday before Mothers' day, an-
other on the Sunday next to Mothers'
day and the third on the Thursday
preceding Mothers' day. The ad we
used, putting a little more emphasis
on the colored flowers, would fill the
bill.
"I also think there should be an
understanding and a limitation as to
the price of flowers, both wholesale
and retail. In some instances I know
where the price was increased to three
times the usual price. From observa-
tion, I am confident that this was a
big mistake."
Commenting on the same point, W. F.
Gude, of Gude Bros. Co., said: "In
reference to our joint ad in the Wash-
ington Herald for Mothers' day, we
beg to advise that we believe this was
one of the best things ever done by
the Washington florists. It not only
benefited the few who put up the
money for the advertisement, but
every florist, large or small, in the na-
tional capital was directly benefited by
It. We believe it demonstrated, as
The Review has pointed out, that Moth-
ers' day can be worked up to be a
fnost profitable one, both to the grower
snil to the retailer, also the commis-
sion man.
''But from our point of view one
thing is to be deplored, and that is
the abnormal raising of prices by some
florists, particularly in taking orders
8t one price and then telling the cus-
tomer that the order cannot be filled
inless they pay two or three times the
amount that the flowers were promised
'or in advance. Our firm disposed of,
*t wholesale and retail, some 30,000
<^ainations, about one-t^ird of them
J^hite. The stock was exti-'a 'fine. On

retail or wholesale. On Sunday morn-
ing there was an enormous demand
from every quarter for white carna-
tions. We were fortunate to be able
to pick enough carnations Sunday
morning to supply all callers, including
those of the florists who wanted them
at the same price we fixed a week in
advance. One case came to our notice
of an order being placed fifteen days
in advance of Mothers' day for a Sun-
day school and church, at a fixed price.
On Saturday at noon the customer was
told by the florist who had the order
that the order could not be filled un-
less the customer paid twice as much as
the carnations were sold for. This to
our mind is most unbusinesslike. The
parties came to us in despair late Satur-
day evening and were willing to take
colored carnations, but we had some
extra fine white sweet peas and we
fixed them up with these. They were
much pleased and they cost them a
good bit less than the carnations would
have cost.
"To our mind the slogan should be,
not a carnation, but just a flower, in
line with The Keview's lines copied
into our ad:
White flowers for Mother's memory.
Bright flowers for Mothers living.

why should not the florists be?"
WHAT INDIVIDUALS DID.
Besults from Seview Suggestions.
After Mothers' day, which was May
12, last year, The Review received a
large number of letters telling what the
writers had done in the way of boosting
the day, and of the results obtained.
It is impossible to print them all, or
many of them in full. But here are
extracts that carry hints good for 1913:

About all we did was to get behind a
good idea and push. We pushed hard
the first year and the ball has kept
rolling ever since. If prices can be
kept down it will soon show as good a
profit as any day of the year. — Chapin

Doubled the Sales.
We used attractive ads in three daily
papers and you will notice the quotation
of your origin:
A white flower for Mothec's memory.
A bright flower for Mothers liTlng.
Only we made it read a little different-
ly, as follows:
White flowers for Mother in memory dear,
Bright flowers for Mother who still is here.
We think it took well with the public.
The results were great; had the weather
been favorable we would have had a
real Easter rush on, and as it was, in
spite of two days' rain, we did over
100 per cent better than for the same
days last year. We think the increase
is due to better advertising, including
the low prices we were able to quote.
The Review certainly is due a large
amount of credit for making Mothers'
day as profitable as it is. — H. W. F.

Sold Everything.
Acting on the suggestion in The Re-
view, we dressed our show window ten
days in advance of Mothers' day. In

we sold absolutely everything we had
in stock; think we could have sold
twice as much had we prepared for the
demand we had created. — Eugene

' Made Them Open Up.
Mothers' day was the biggest yet;
we got out a handbill that embodied
the publicity suggestions of The Re-
view and got good results. I think the
time will soon come when Mothers'
day will be as big a day as Memorial
day, if not bigger, for the sentiment
back of it makes even a tough old sin-
ner open up his heart and go down in
his pocket. Push the good work along
next year; you are doing something
worth celebrating. — Chas. B. Simons,

No Crepe at Weddings.
I took your "bright flowers" idea
and put a reading notice in our local
papers: "Mothers' Day. Make a dis-
tinction. A white flower if mother is
dead; bright flowers for mothers living.
One does not wear ctepe at a wed-
ding." Some thought it a little rough,
but there was no name signed to it,
so the public did not know who did it.
And it certainly made a hit in a busi-
ness way. I sold more colored flowers
than white and cleaned up on all the
carnations I had. — D. H. Zbinden,
Greenville, 111.

Oot the Churches Started.
After reading The Review we sug-
gested to our pastor a special Mothers'
day service. He did not know any-
thing about the day, but we gave him
the facts as well as we could. He said
that if we would decorate the church
he would prepare the sermon. He sent
a notice to the papers, announcing the
special service, and we did our part.
The church was packed and we dis-
posed of about 400 carnations, impress-
ing the idea of
A white flower for Mother's memory.
A bright flower for Mothers llTlng.
Another year it will grow with leaps
and bounds, as the five other churches
are sure to take it up. We value The
Review not only for this suggestion but
for the lots of good, solid, profitable
information we get out of it. — Cleek
Floral Co., Council Grove, Kan.
She Is Waking Up.
Great interest was taken in Mothers'
day; in 1912 it was almost equal to
Memorial day. There were so many
calls I really could not supply all. 1
had to take some pink carnations, but
I easily sold these to people who have
living mothers. I wish we could get
all the people to understand that col-
ored flowers are for the living and white
to be worn for the departed; some in-
sist on white anyway. I think next
year I will just put a piece in our local
paper: "Wear colored flowers for the
living and white for departed mothers. "
Mary F. Lindsey, Hebron, Neb.
rLLUSTEATING THE ADS.
Early in its work of exploiting
Mothers' day The Review prepared a
simple advertisement that was offered
as a suggestion for use in local news-
papers anywhere. It is reproduced
again in the lower right-hand corner
of page 13, as hundreds have written
of the good results it brought. As a
matter of fact, it has been printed
for the last two years in newspapers
from Maine to Washington, and from
Georgia to California. The advertise-
ment is not so good as it would be
with the use of an illustration, but any
newspaper can set it up on a few niin
utes' notice.
In its use a number of florists have
greatly improved on The Review's sug-
gestion. Most of them have followed
the wording more or less closely, the
principal improvement being in the '^is'
play; appropriate cuts help immens' l.v-
What "rhe Review considers the Vest
Mothers' day advertisement yet put''
lished was that of the Alpha Floral
Co., Kansas City, shown on this pai^f^-
It embodies The Review's suggestion
with a particularly attractive illustra
tion. The only possible betterment
would be the inclusion of a specific
offer of stock appropriate to the occa-
sion, quoting prices. General publicity
advertisements are good, but more <!•■

A POEM FOE MOTHERS' DAY.
An apt and timely song or poem has
often worked wonders in arousing
entluisiasm in favor of some reform or
othtr public movement. And it is such
enthusiasm, reinforced by reason, that
keeps the world in motion, figuratively
speaking, and causes great things to be
accomplished. Would it not be a good
idea, then, for retail florists to induce
their local newspaper publishers to
print the following verses and thus
aid in creating sentiment in behalf of
Motiiers' day? One of the chief rea-
sons for the popularity of Mothers ' day
is the fact that it appeals strongly to
a universal and natural sentiment. The
sentiment is surely a wholesome one,
too, as well as being profitable to the
florists. So florists can act with a clear
conscience in fostering the sentiment as
much as possible.

One brare little woman in our broad land,
In a quiet, gentle way.
Picked out a date and set it down
As being "Mothers' day."
There always are some scoffers round
Who dearly love to jeer;
They'll say, "Why one day set aside?
We've mothers all the year."
Yes, so we have; they are quite right,
And that's the very reason
We need a gentle waking up —
For May is Mothers' season !
In story, song and epic poem.
We hear the praises rung
Of heroes of great deeds and small,
In each and every tongue.
And do we not regret ofttlmes.
Those heroes cannot know
We hold them in such reverence.
Admire and love them so?
Are not our mothers oft as great
In life's heroic birth?
Can we do less than show them, then,
We realize their worth?
This is a whirling, busy world.
But take this one small part
And show your mother, on that day.
The love within your heart.
For can you honestly believe
'Twill answer up above.
To say, "I was so busy, I—
Why, I forgot to love"?
So just remember May 11;
_'Tls your mother's day.
White flowers soften graves grown hard;
Krlght flowers cheer life's way.

Retailing Now the Problem.
J or a good many years the problem
"1 the florists' business in the United
States was one of production — the keen-
est minds were occupied with the
search for means to produce stock of
tile quality and in the quantity de-
■"anded by the public. Of late, how-
^^'er, at least in some of the larger
centers, production has caught up with
"emand, or outstripped it. There is
a iieling that the so-called leading re-
tail florists, meaning those who have

Wreath of Caroationt, Romans and Laacifolium Lilies.
Two tendencies are apparent, one to-
ward growers becoming retailers of
their own output and another toward
the chain of stores idea. Here are two
notes from last week's issue of The Re-
view that show the drift:
The Drift in Selling.
This is from Long Island City, N. Y.:
"Articles of incorporation have been
filed for the United Growers' Flower
Shops, Inc., of Manhattan, organized
to deal in plants, flowers, seeds and
bulbs. The capital stock is $25,000 and
the headquarters are at 447 Eleventh
avenue, in this city. The incorpora-
tors are John Schreyer, Louis Wendel,
Jr., and Frank Doerhoer. "
And here is a note from New York:
' ' A new company to be known as the
Royal Fruit & Flower Co., with a cap-
ital of $10,000,000, is being organized
by Oscar Bamberger, of Bamberger,
Loeb & Co., and Henry Weil, of Bam-
berger Bros. & Co. A chain of fruit
and flower stores will be established in
this city."
A PERDIEAS WREATH.
The accompanying illustration shows
a wreath recently made by George
Perdikas, a florist who has several re-
tail stores in Chicago. It will be
noted that the wreath was first filled
solidly with carnations, the hard edge
of the design being relieved by a bor-
der of Mexican ivy. The bunch was
of Roman hyacinths and lancifolium
lilies. The lettering, "Chicago
Friends," indicates that the design was
made for shipment out of the city.
Retail florists do not as a rule send
designs any distance, because it has
been found far more satisfactory to
turn the order over to some other re-
tailer at the point where delivery is to
be made, but since the parcel post has
come into use retailers are shipping in
that manner a great many designs to
nearby points. A fairly good sized
piece comes within the size limits of
the parcel post regulations and well
within the weight limit. The corru-
gated fiberboard boxes are excellent for
these shipments, the designs being tied
to the boxes so that they travel safely.
Parcels may now be sent through the
mail in this manner by special delivery
and get the same service as is given
on special delivery letters, and at a
charge of only 10 cents. Retailers with
small orders for delivery at a nearby
postoffice find the parcel post almost
as quick as a messenger boy and just
as accurate and safe.

any special name for it, however. The
probable causes are too rich soil, pro-
ducing a soft, sappy growth; insufficient
ventilation, spraying over the foliage
and not ^keeping the plants spaced
apart And picked over regularly.
Give., the ,plants the f liUest sunshine.
Do not feed them with rank, liquid
manures. If they need any stimulating,
give .them a surfacing of fine bone.
Do not 'hose the foliage over. Keep
the plants spaced apart so that they
are not crowded. Pick oflf any dead
and decaying leaves and remove any
weeds. TJie night temperature of the
house should be 45 to 50 degrees, and
should not exceed the latter figure.
The atmosphere sliould be dry. Keep
up this treatment and your plants
should soon show an improvement.

POOE GROWTH OF GEBAIHUMS.
We are having trouble with our
geraniums. Part of the soil we are
using was taken out of a mum bench.
We used about one-half of this soil
and one-half new sod soil, with the
right proportion of sand. These gera-
niums were potted into 4-inch pots.
Some of the leaves are turning red-
dish brown, some of the plants seem to
be drying up at the ends of the leaves
and a good many have lost quite a num-
ber of leaves toward the bottom of the
plants. Do you suppose the soil is not
rich enough, or what ails themt They
do not seem to make growth as they
should. F. & F.
You do not say whether you added
any fine bone or well decayed manure
to the geranium compost. Sand was
not needed. The plants are undoubtedly
suffering from starvation at the root.
Exhausted mum soil mixed with fresh
loam and sand does not contain the
plant food required by a geranium or,
for that matter, by any other soft-
wooded plant. If you had added one-
fourth well decayed cow manure or
old hotbed manure, or even a 3-inch
pot of fine bone to each bushel of soil,
your plants would now be in better
shape.
To improve them, apply liquid cow
or sheep manure once in four days. A
weak dose of nitrate of soda water
will soon improve them, but do not keep
on applying it, or it will make the
plants 86ft and they will not flower.
A top-dressing of fine bone, lightly
scratching the soil after applying it,
or an application of Clay's fertilizer,
will soon change the appearance of the
plants, but do not make the mistake of
giving too strong doses. Better make
the applications light and more fre-
quent. C. W.
GEBANIUM FOLIAGE DYING.
About a month ago I found the
leaves on my geraniums turning brown
and spotted. This was something I had
never seen before, and I want to ask
you about it. Under separate cover I
send the leaves showing the trouble.
My worst plants are Poiteyine. I have
kept them a little on the dry side, in
full sun, and in watering I have been
careful not to wet the foliage. The
soil was made last year, being mostly
cow jaanure and good loam, and in
p.otting I used two-thirds loam to one-
third compost and a little bone meal.
I use lake water, which is cold, and
the water company puts chlorine in it,
which sometimes is exceedingly strong.
Would that have this effect on the
plants? The draught in the j:bimney is
poor and when a*fird'is started it smokes
and fills' the house, but the plants in
other parts of the house are not af-
fected. These plants stand on about an
inch of gravel, while my other beiiches
are filled with soil. Would that i^ake
any difference! L. C. p.
The geranium leaves are certainly
badly afiected. This is quite unliko the
leaf-spot and other geranium disi^ases
with which I am acquainted. The
plants standing on gravel would natu-
rally dry out more than those on the
loam; the latter would root through
and have greater vigor. Possibly you
are keeping them too dry at this season.
Pick off the bad leaves, water more
freely and if potbound^ give a little
shift. It you do not care to repot them,
give a watering with nitrate of soda
water to inject a little life into them.
Do not useiover a pound to fifty gal-
lons of water, however.
Poitevine is naturally a vigorous
geranium and it is strange that it
should go off in this way. Possibly the
smoke and fumes are partly responsi-
ble for the condition they are in. Try
the effect of using loam below them and
also of watering more freely, in some
other part of the house. If they im-
prove there and not at their present
stand, the trouble is probably partly
due to the fumes. Do not use too rich
soil for your plants. Let any manure
be well decayed. One-fourth old hotbed
manure or the same proportion of old
cow manure is sufficiently strong. The
manure they relish is one which readily
crumbles in the hand. 0. W.

A COMMISSION MAN'S VIEW.
[A paper read by Samuel S. Pennock before the
Lancaster Florists' Club, Lancaster, Pa.. April
17.]
When your president wrote and asked
me to read a paper before your club, I
felt considerable hesitancy in accepting
the invitation, as it is rather a delicate
thing to do — to point out the faults of
the other man's way of conducting his
business. It is human nature to criti-
cise; in fact, it is an easy habit to fall
into and if one is not careful it soon
becomes chronic.
But you have asked me to tell you
of your faults as we see them, of the
things that help to make or mar the
sales of your stock, and I am going to
pay you the compliment of believing
that you want what you have asked
for; so I will try to give you my honest
criticisms, and hope you will accept
them as well meant advice and not as
though they were given in a spirit of
finding fault with your own individual
ideas and methods.
To begin with, I do not think that we
try to help one another enough with a
word of encouragement here and there,
as we go along the path of life, which
is of infinitely more benefit than a word
of condemnation, not only to the one
who may justly deserve it, but to the
one giving it as well. We are all glad
to be praised when we do something
which we think is good. How often do
we hear from a grower when we are
able to make him good returns? But
when his returns are not satisfactory,
we hear from him quickly and there is
not much time wasted in telling us
about it. It is an easy matter to kick,
sometimes too easy; in fact, we get far
more kicks than we should and not
enough praise when lots of times we
really deserve it. By this I do not mean
to say that the growers are the only
ones who do not give praise when praise
is due. The retailers and the wholesalers
are just as negligent in this respect as
anyone; probably they do not really c in-
sider the other fellow as much as he
grower does.
For Better Understanding.
On a dull market, oftentimes the re-
turns are so low that we are disgusted
with them and hate to send them out,
but we have no alternative. We hnve
no wish to send out low returns any
more than our growers care to receive
them, and it is through no wish of onrs
that the stock brings low prices, as it is
certainly to our advantage to get all
w© possibly can out of the stock and
get as high prices as possible for every
flower that comes in to us. It is cer-
tainly as hard on us as on the growers

to have to Bell stock at low prices, espe-
cially as we are selling them on a com-
mission basis. And we assure you that
when the letters of commendation or
praise do come to us they are certainly
appreciated, and they stimulate us to
flven greater efforts on behalf of our
growers and we know that they make
for a better feeling and understanding
between us.
The mutual good feeling among the
floiists, particularly among the growers,
is improving each year — hardly a grower
but who is willing to live and learn, to
profit by his neighbor's successes and
mistakes — and meetings sucli as these,
where you get in closer touch with each
other, are of splendid value and benefit,
for there is always something to learn.
Then there are our shows — what
schools of learning they are I — particu-
larly such shows as the National Flower
Show which has just taken place in New
York. I know that every florist who
attended this show went home feeling
that it was time and money well spent,
and I was pleased to see Lancaster so
well represented. It shows progressive-
ness. N t only^ was it of advantage to
see the exhibits, how stock could be
grown, the newer flowers and plants
(many of them novelties never before
seen), but the greatest advantage of all
was the opportunity the little men had
to get in touch with the big men of the
trade on an equal footing, conversing
with them, getting their ideas and help-
ful suggestions, and going back home
with the knowledge of how to do bigger
and better things, knowledge that they
could not acquire in years of hard
grinding.
Stay-at-Homes Profit Little.
Not only are these shows valuable to
the growers, retailers and wholesalers
in the way of being a source of knowl-
edge and information, but they are one
of the greatest advertising mediums we
have for the flower business. The pub-
licity committees that are working in
the different cities are doing all they
can, and mighty good work, too, to
bring the flower business before the
public. But the flower shows are infi-
nitely more lasting and far-reaching in
their effects than ordinary advertising.
By this I do not wish to convey the idea
that I do not think advertising pays, as
I am a firm believer in advertising. But
for that reason, if no other, these shows
should have your firm and hearty sup-
port, and your individual attendance
whenever it ia at all possible.
This may be digressing from the sub-
ject somewhat, but I hardly think so, as
these are points every florist, whether
he is a grower, retailer or middleman,
should consider. Do not be afraid to
leave home now and then to see what
the other fellow is doing. Many a
grower finds at the end of his year that
he has come out with little or no profit,
owing sometimes to his staying at home
entirely too much and not understand-
ing how to properly market his stock or
to get it into the best possible shape for
marketing.
Then, too, often a grower does not
know just where he is making or losing
money, owing to the fact of his not
•seeping accurate records as to produc-
tion per plant or per square foot. Then,
sometimes a greenhouse is run in con-
nection with another enterprise and not
'^ept separate, only in a superficial way,
^ ^ay that is more harmful than help-
ful. Accurate accounting, even if it
Samttel S. Pennock.
does take a little more time and ex-
pense, is bound to pay in the end.
Oarefol Grading and Packing.
Ev0ry year the competition in the
flowe^ business becomes keener and the
supply larger, which makes it necessary
to grpw the stock and market it in the
best I possible manner. Having suc-
ceeded in growing flne, first-class fiow-
en, it is equally, if not more important
to see that they are not spoiled by poor
handling. This often happens, and is
due to the grower not looking after the
detaijis and appreciating that it is just
as important to market flowers in the
best up-to-date manner as it is to pro-
duce, the best flowers in the first place.
How much quicker and better will a box
of flowers sell that comes into the mar-
ket carefully graded and packed and
put up in attractive shape! That ship-
ment commands a buyer, particularly on
a dull market, far more quickly than
the shipment that is carelessly graded
and packed, even if the stock in this
shipment be well grown and some of
the flowers be of even better quality
than the first shipment. If this condi-
tion be allowed to go on day after day
from one year's end to the other, it
means many a dollar out of the grow-
er's pocket. Do not be afraid to watch
the details; the larger things will then
fall into line naturally and take care of
themselves. Be particular about the
grading; keep the quality up and do not
allow poor stock to creep in.
It is very important that rubbered or
wirgd carnations should not be put in
I
the same bunches with the better
blooms, as a few wired or rubbered
blooms will spoil the sale of the bunch.
Some growers feel that this is not im-
portant, but every grower who does
this loses out in the end, as these
bunches of carnations will sell only
on a scarce market and almost all the
time it is a buyer 's and not the seller 's
market. Let the poorer blooms come in
a lower grade. Details carefully watched
spell success in any line of business.
Oloser Belatlonshlp Essential.
I believe most growers and whole-
salers do not keep in close enough touch
with each other. Advices from the
wholesaler as to the market conditions,
or advices from the grower as to his fu-
ture crops, probable quantity and when
these particular crops will come in, are
points that are too often ignored and
too little considered. Often a crop will
come in which could have been mar-
keted to much better advantage had the
wholesaler known about it and under-
stood what to expect, whether this was
a new crop coming on or simply an
extra big cut. The knowledge of this
would help the commission man to plan
for better sales of the stock, perhaps
even give him an opportunity to adver-
tise it, and the results would more than
offset the trouble and expense of the
grower 's writing or phoning about it.
If it were possible for the wholesalers
and growers to visit e«ch other oftener,
it would be a great help to each of them
and would sa'^ 'tnany a misunderstend-
ing; it would. -bring them closer to-

F SEASONABLE ^
i 9^ suggestions!
Pruning Hardy Climbers.
There are a number of hardy climb-
ers which should be pruned ^t once,
provided the work has not already
been done, before the real spring rush
commences. Among these may be men-
tioned wistarias, Clematis paniculata,
bignonias, loniceras, actinidias, and
Aristolochia Sipho, or Dutchman's pipe.
Cut the Clematis paniculata back quite
hard, for the best results. In the case
of such evergreen climbers as Euony-
mus radicans and English ivy no prun-
ing should be necessary at this time,
but any dead shoots on the ivy would
better be removed now. It is better
not to prune climbing roses until there
is no longer any danger of a sharp
frost. If they are pruned too early
and a warm spell starts, them at once
into active growth, they are liable
to sustain considerable injury if a cold
snap immediately follows.
Petunias and Verbenas.
This is a good time to make a lib-
eral sowing in flats of the tijb popular
annuals, petunias and verbenas. Be
careful to sow the fine petunia" seed
thinly and not to cover at air with soil.
Give the verbena seed a light covering
and let it be mostly sand. Start them
in a warm house, but do not keep them
there after the seedlings have made
their second pair of leaves. Use light,
rich soil when potting them off, and
grow them in a temperature of 50 to 52
degrees at night. This will insure
stockiness. Verbenas are among the
best and most persistent flowering an-
nuals for bedding, while petunias, in
addition to being excellent in the
flower borders, can be used to good
advantage in window boxes, vases and
hanging baskets. Where the water sup-
ply is adequate and there is suflScient
plant food for the roots to subsist on,
they will never stop blooming until
cold weather arrives.
Transplanting Seedlings.
The annual seedlings will now need
considerable attention, for during the
pressure of Easter work they were
liable to be somewhat neglected. Now
that Easter is gone, take these in hand
and either pot or box off all that are
urgently in need of a shift. If a lit-
tle of this work can be done each day
it will greatly relieve the pressure and
be the means of saving many seedlings
which would otherwise be spoiled, for
if seedlings become crowded and drawn
they are to a large extent ruined. Be
sure to give all transplanted seedlings
some shade from bright sunshine for
a day or two.
Outdoor Bulbs.
"With winter on the wane and the
weather quite springlike in character,
at least seme of the covering should
be removed from the bulb beds. Do
not be in too much of a rush to take
it all away, for we are still liable to
have some cold snaps. It is the custom
to leave at least a light mulch on, in
the latitude of Boston, until April 10,
after which time they can be entirely
cleaned off. We have had an unusually
open winter, and on this account great
care had to be taken when removing
the mulch not to break the young
shoots, which in some cases were found
of considerable length.
VARIOUS INSECTS.
I bought a great many plants last
spring, to stock up with. I bought them
from a good many firms and, incident-
ally, I secured a great many insects,
among the rest white fly, which I have
subdued with cyanide, but a minute in-
sect, which I presume is thrips, is baf-
fling me in my efforts to grow carna-
tions, although I am spraying with
Aphine and also with Paris green and
sugar. As I do not know exactly what
a thrips is like, I should like to have
it described. This insect is extremely
small and enters the flower. It hops
like a flea. The petals of the flowers
are withered on the edges and the flow-
ers are small and do not keep. I also
got the white fern scale on some ferns
purchased of a firm of growers who ad-
vertise that they have none on their
ferns. It seems to me the wholesale
plant growers should be more careful
about sending out such injurious ij.
sects. E. S. P
White fly can only be subdued by the
use of hydrocyanic acid gas. You will
find this pest partial to fuchsias, agera-
tums, calceolarias, pelargoniums, nas-
turtiums, heliotropes and some other
soft-wooded plants; it also attacks to-
matoes, cucumbers and lettuce, espe-
cially the first named vegetable.
You have correctly described the
thrips, or hopper as it is sometimes
called, and the remedies you tried have
proved successful with other growers.
The scale on the ferns can be controlled
by the use of Aphine, either dipping
or spraying, according to the size of
the plants. C. W.
ASTERS ON CLAY GROUND.
We have no ground for asters this
year, except clay. We plowed it last
fall and are manuring it heavily this
spring with well rotted manure. We
shall also put on well balanced com-
mercial fertilizers, such as blood, meal,
ashes, lime, etc. Under these condi-
tions, ought we to get good asters? If
not, what else should we do to get
good asters on clay, or, in fact, can we
get a profitable crop of asters under
such conditions? S. F. G.
I see no reason why you cannot grow
good asters in your clayey soil, if horse
manure is used. Some road scrapings,
fine coal ashes, sand or any other form
of grit will also help to relieve the stiff-
ness of the soil. Lime and wood ashes
will also help, but do not apply lime
with the manure or fertilizers, as it
would release too much of the nitrogen.
LEAF DISEASE ON BONNAFFON.
Last spring I bought some rooted
cuttings of White Bonnaffon. They ap-
peared to be healthy, but as the plants
grew during the summer the lower
leaves got brown around the edges and
curled up, and by the time the flowers
were cut there was not much good
foliage. I saved some stock plants;
the suckers looked nice, but now, as
they start to grow, the lower leaves
begin to get brown again around the
edges. The flowers which were cut
last fall were not so full in the center
as the Yellow Bonnaffon. Can I over-
come the trouble, or would you advise
me not to propagate from this stock?
C. B.
If your stock plants show the same
leaf disease as the old plants last year,
I certainly would suggest that you
throw them out and try to procure
new, clean stock from some other
source. A solution of sulphide of
potassium, in the proportion of one
ounce to two gallons of water, is good
for the treatment of rust and all leaf
diseases, but, as a matter of fact, if
the plants are in poor shape I would
suggest that you throw them away and
procure new stock from another sec-
tion of the country. Chas. H. Totty.
POT PLANTS FOR EARLY FALL.
Kindly inform me what are the best
early varieties of chrysanthemums for
flowering in pots in the fall. State when
I should start them and give particu-
lars as to their care. I prefer to sink
the pots in a vacant coldframe when
the weather is suitable.
K. P. & T. F.
The following varieties are amon^j
the best in their respective colors for ■
flowering in pots in the fall: Crimson
— Florence Stanton, Crimson Source
d'Or, Crimson Quintus, La Triumphant,
Rayonnante and Dean's Favorite-
White — Mrs. W. Scott and Parsons'
White. Bronze — Hortus Tolosanus an'i
Source d'Or. Yellow — Lizzie Adcoclc
and Yellow Triumphant.
If the cuttings are struck by the en 1
of April, so as to be ready to shift the
first week in May, they will give the
grower splendid pot plants early in thi^
fall. The foregoing are all splendifi
varieties and will probably give goo<l
satisfaction to the grower.

HARDY BOSES.
Planting of all hardy roses should
be completed as soon as possible, if not
already done. It is a mistake to wait
each year until the end of April, or
even later, before doing this work: The
early planted stock has a chance to
make nice roots before really hot
weather gets in and will give a much
better crop of flowers. All roses, of
course, succeed best where the ground
has been well trenched, working in an
abundance of well rotted manure. The
hybrid perpetuals succeed particularly
well in heavy soil, while the more ten-
der hybrid teas prefer lighter ground,
doing well even in sandy soil if mulched
and occasionally watered. Be careful
not to bring manure into direct contact
with the roots; also be sure that all
roots are moistened before planting,
that the soil is thoroughly firmed and
that the budded plants have the buds
covered about three inches.
Pruning was probably completed
some time ago in the warmer states.
From Pennsylvania northward, from
the beginning to the middle of April is
sufficiently early. The hybrid perpet-
uals, such as Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs.
John Laing, Brunner, Prince Camille
de Rohan and others, should have been
cut back quite hard. No more than
three eyes should have been left on
the strongest shoots, and one or two on
weaker shoots. All dead and weak wood
should have been removed entirely. In
the case of hybrid teas, such as Mme.
Ravary, the Killarneys, Caroline
Testout, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria,
Chatenay and others of this class, little
cutting back is necessary, but all weak
and dead wood should be carefully re-
moved. This latter class of roses is the
one which is of real value to florists,
as they are such persistent bloomers.
Thongh they are less hardy than the
hybrid perpetuals, it is easy to lift
and bury them over winter or stand
them closely in a cold pit or cellar
where the soil about the roots is moist.
The increasing family of ramblers is
already starting into growth. If the old
cines which flowered last summer were
cut clean out near the ground after the
''looms had faded, and if the suckers
trom the base were taken up in their
^tead, there will be a better crop of
"'•wers than where all the old wood was
allowed to remain, but if the old wood
^^as not cut out, shorten back the side
Joots half their length. They will
fl' wer, but the trusses will be small as
'"fmpared with those produced on the
siioots which started from the base a
year ago. Simply head back these long
shoots a little and remove all weak and
otherwise useless wood.
In planting out ramblers, it pays the
best to cut them down close to the
ground the first season. This encourages
stout breaks from the bottom, but too
often all wood is left on with the ex-
pectation of the plants giving a few
flowers, which at best are puny things,
and as a result little growth is made
the first year.
There are so many fine new ramblers
on the market that it is difficult to
make a selection, but Dorothy Perkins,
Tausendschon, Hiawatha, Flower of
Fairfield, Lady Gay, Leuchstern, Amer-
ican Pillar and Trier are all fine and
reliably hardy. Crimson Bambler, the
pioneer of this class, is not to be recom-
mended; the foliage is bad after flow-
ering, while practically all the other
sorts named have fresh, glossy foliage
until December. The so-called baby
ramblers are persistent bloomers and
should be in every florist's garden, as
should such useful old sorts as Hermosa,
Clothilde Soupert, white and pink Ma-
man Cochet and Mme. Plantier.

- EOSES FOR A COOL HOUSE.
I should like to ask you what va-
rieties of roses you would recommend
for culture in a cool greenhouse. I
want varieties that would do fairly
well at a temperature of about 50 to 54
degrees at night. H. P.
Killarney and White Killarney, Mrs.
Aaron "Ward and Richmond will suc-
ceed as well as any in the temperatures
mentioned. They do best in a night
temperature of 56 degrees, but if you
can hold yours up to an average of 52
to 54 degrees, they will do fairly well.
In midwinter, of course, they would
come a little more slowly than those in
a warmer house. C. W.
EELWORMS ON ROSES.
I am enclosing some roots of roses
which are badly affected by what I
think are eelworms. If you can tell me
how to get rid of them, I shall be much
pleased. They have killed nearly half
of the plants in one house. Some few
plants do not appear to be affected.
The leaves are small and light green
and the stems are limber and weak on
most of the plants affected. Sometimes
a ground shoot starts and, when the
bud begins to develop, it falls over and
twists around like a vine. Most of
these roses are grown on raised benches,
but one bench is solid and does not ap-
pear to be 90 badly affected. I could
throw out those in the raised benches,
but want to grow those in the solid
bench if possible. No plants have been
killed so far on the solid bench. A
few Bride, Maid and Ivory growing in
this house are as fine, healthy plants,
apparently, as one could wish, while
other plants near them have been killed
or nearly go. • W. H.
You have correctly diagnosed the
trouble with your roses. There is no sure
way to exterminate the worms, when
once they are in the benches. Water-
ing with lime water acts as a deterrent
and helps the situation somewhat, but
the only sure way of exterminating
them is steam sterilization of the soil
before planting the roses. It would
be better to pull out those in the badly
affected benches and plant with some
other crop, if you are not planning to
use them for roses again. C. W.
FLOOD RELIEF IN OHIO.

rists' Club, appointed by President
Graham to investigate the conditions in
the state of Ohio and to give relief to
those in need, has made good progress,
but there is still much to be done. John
Evans, who, with E, G. Hill and August
Poehlmann, were appointed by Presi-
dent Farquhar of the S. A. F. as an in-
vestigation committee, passed through
Cleveland this week and held a meeting
with the local committee, consisting of
A. Graham, H. A. Hart, Geo. W. Smith
and Frank Friedley. The field was gone
over thoroughly and methods were dis-
cussed.

The names of those helped are not to
be mentioned in these columns.
Never was there a more opportune
time to help a man who has lost all of
his stock, for with Decoration day only
a few weeks away he can quickly turn
plants into cash.
If you know of any florist in this
state who is in need of help — a man to
whom a few hundred or a few thousand
plants would be of assistance in putting
him on his feet — let us know. If you
have surplus stock of plants and want
to ^tnow where to send them to do the
most good, let us know. If you are a
retailer or a supply man, or if you have
no plants to offer, a small amount of
cash will help to pay expressage on a
box of plants to some brother florist
who has met with misfortune in the
flood.
What is to be done must be done at
once. Reports have been hard to get
from down-state, or this matter would
have been disposed of sooner.

BUSINESS EMBAKBASSMENTS.
Grand Bapids, Mich.— Samuel J. Perry,
former manager of the Grand Bapids
Greenhouse Co., has filed a petition in
voluntary bankruptcy. His direct lia-
bilities are given at $6,800, all but a
$100 coal bill secured by mortgages or
land contracts. His indirect liabilities
aggregate $21,750, the amount of his in-
dorsements on the notes of the green-
house company. The cause of the action,
it is stated, is to eliminate this liability.
Stockton, Cal. — ^Moses J. Shaw, doing
business under the name of the San
Joaquin Floral Co., whose financial dif-
ficulties were mentioned in The Review
of April 10, filed a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy April 12, placing his assets
at $6,459.64 and his liabilities at $1,749.
New York. — Henry J. Leffers has
been appointed receiver for Philip L.
Shaeffer, 1247 Lexington avenue, whose
financial embarrassment was noted in
The Review of April 17.
THE HABDY PEBENNIAL QABDEN.
All covering should have been re-
moved before now from the hardy her-
baceous perennials. The season is such
an advanced one that many plants have
already grown as much as is custom-
arily seen a full month later. Of
course, we may have considerable cool
weather yet in the northern states, but
it is unlikely that frost will occur of
sufficient severity to injure any of the
plants now. If a mulch of decayed
manure was given in the fall, this can
be worked in with ' b fork about the
plants; otherwise a coating of sheep
manure, fine bone and potash, or a spe-
cial chemical fertilizer should be ap-
plied, loosening up the surface soil
after applying it. Nitrate of soda must
be used with extreme care, or more in-
jury than benefit will result; be sure
not to let any of it touch the foliage.
Where a sufficient quantity of phlox
cuttings have not been put in, a good
batch should now be secured. They
root readily in an ordinary cutting
bench in a cool house. Do not place
them in a warm house, or they will
damp off. Peonies which are just start-
ing into growth will be benefited by a
top-dressing of a fertilizer containing
considerable potash. A good potato
manure is suitable. A little later a lit-
tle dried blood or nitrate of soda will
prove beneficial.
Any replanting left over from the
fall should now be completed. Plants
which have been carried over in cold-
frames, and which are in many local-
ities of doubtful hardiness, should be
planted out soon. These include aquile-
fias, incarvilleas, rehmannias, knipho-
as, digitalis, Campanula Medium and
the so-called hardy chrysanthemums;
also a number of small bedding or bor-
dering plants, such as daisies, myosbtis,
pansies, aubrietias, violas, etc.

MILDEW ON OTAESA.
What can I do to stop mildew on my
Hydrangea Otaksa, of which I enclose
a leaf? They were field-grown, potted
up in October and set under a bench
in the greenhouse to - harden up. I
brought them out and potted them over
in the latter part of February. The
buds have startled and are beginning
to swell, but 'tbey do not leaf out as
they should, arid •vO'hen they do start
they turn brown, mildew and fall off.
The average temperature is 55 degrees
during winter. I want them in bloom
for Memorial day. C. J. S.
The hydrangeas should be in a light,
sunny house, and if properly treated
should never be affected by mildew.
Cold draughts, due to careless ventila-
tion, usually start mildew, and it must
be attended to at once or the plants will
be at least badly disfigured. If you
use steam, drop a little sulphur here
and there on tT-e flow pipe. If you use
hot water, paint some on and blow some
of the powdered sulphur over the af-
fected plants through a bellows. Avoid
spraying: over the mildewed plants, as
that would only aggravate the evil. Do
not crowd the plants. "Ventilate and
water carefully, and with the aid of the
sulphur you should soon see a marked
improvement. C. W.
SOCIETY OF AMEBICAN FLOBISTS.
Directors' Meeting.
At an adjourned meeting of the board
of directors, held in New York, April 8,
Vice-President Theo. Wirth reported
that he had leased, by order of the
board of directors, the Armory and Col-
osseum in Minneapolis, from August 15
to 23, for the next annual convention.
The vice-president also gave a detailed
report of the outdoor plant exhibit, stat-
ing what progress had been made in
this important project. It was decided
to rent this space at 10 cents per square
foot for the inside bedding space and
5 cents for the borders, intended for
perennials, shrubs, etc. Mr. Wirth stated
that there would be 13,000 square feet
in this garden available for bedding
plants and 17,000 square feet available
for shrubbery, making the total avail-
able space 30,000 square feet. Mr. Wirth
was empowered to hire such additional
assistance as is necessary and render a
bUl to the S. A. F.
Secretary Young, who was unable to
be at the meeting of the board of di-
rectors in February, was instructed to
make a trip to Minneapolis at an early
date so that he might become entirely
familiar with all the possibilities of the*^
convention.
April 10 the board had another meet-
ing, when ex-President Vincent brought
up the question of the flood siifferers
in the middle west, stating that those
sufferers who had so much stock de-
stroyed should have as much help as
possible from this society. The plan
outlined was that we cooperate with
them as far as possible and ask tbem to
make their wants known and publish
the fact that certain sufferers were in
need of different kinds of stock. Those
having surplus stock might communi-
cate with a committee appointed for the
purpose and find out the names of those
who are in need. It vtsls finally decided
that a committee of three be appointed
with power to act without expense to
the society. This committee is to gather
information in regard to the sufferers
and to recommend in their judgment
those most in need of it. John A.
Evans, E. G. Hill and August Poehl-
mann were appointed as such com-
mittee. John Young, Sec'y.

A Plea to Orowers.
One of the principal attractions of the Cfiinij. I
S. A. F. coDTention to be held in Minneapoiu
August 19 to 23, will be an outdoor plant exliibit'
as shown by plans recently published in the
trade papers. Applications for space should he
made at once to John Young, secretary, 54 Weit
Twenty-eighth street, New York city. The
plants should be shipped the last week in Ma;
addressed to Theodore Wirth, superintendent ol
parks, Minneapolis, Minn. (Outdoor Exhibit).
Freight charges must be prepaid. The planti
will be planted and properly taken care of b;
expert employees of the board of park con-
missioners, and every exhibitor can feel assnred
that his exhibit will be well taken care of at no
other expense than the rental space paid to the
S. A. F., namely, 10 cents per square foot for
the inside bedding space and 6 cents for the |
borders, intended for perennials, shrubs, etc.
Every grower is earnestly requested to partld
pate in this exhibit. Novelties and superior I
varieties of any and all classes of plants tn
desired. Enough plants to fill one bed should be
sent. The plants will be left in garden until
fall and the exhibitor will be permitted to dit I
play a sign of his firm. These signs must be I
made of uniform size and will be furnished it |
cost price by the superintendent of the S. A. F.
exhibits.
Please get busy and help us to make the ei
hlbition garden of the S. A. F. a great success.
Even at this date several growers have taken I
space to assist in making this outdoor exhibltiOD |
the success it deserves to be.
John Young, Sec'y.
BOSTON.
The Market.
Last week showed a distinct improve-
ment in business. This was in some I
measure due to a material shortening!
up of supplies owing to the dark, cool
and rainy weather, and although such
climatic conditions are not conducive to|
retail buying, stock cleaned up remark-
ably well. With clearer skies, morel
flowers now are coming in, but good!
clearances have been effected in nearly |
all lines.
Boses are in good supply and the
quality, thanks to continued cool
weather, is splendid. American Beaa
ties are more plentiful and the best
grades sell well. Short-stemmed stock
is hard to move. Mrs. Aaron Ward it
the favorite among yellows, but Lady
Hillingdon has many admirers. Killai'
neys are far too abundant and low
prices are taken for short-stemmed flow
ers. Taft is selling well. Bichmond is
splendid, some having exceptional
stems. Carnations sell as well as any-
thing on the list; $4 is secured for top
notch flowers, other grades running as
low as $1. Some double violets still
come in and bring 50 cents per hundred
The supplies of Dutch bulbous stock
have shortened up materially. The cool
weather favors those who have good,
cool cellars for retarding stock. Span
ish iris is good. Antirrhinums were
never seen in such quantities; pink con-
tinues to be the favorite. Callas and
lilies are each inclined to be druggy
Sweet peas are of superb quality and
of almost every imaginable color. For
lily of the valley the demand has been
extra good of late. Quite a few Cat
tleya Mossiee are coming in. Some
SchroederaB are still seen. The call ioj
gardenias is not good. Green stock is
in abundant supply.

Various Notes.
William Sim 's pick of sweet peas now
is immense and the Flower Growers'
Sales Co. has orders for his flowers from

quite distant points. Of Zvolanek 's new
ij^inter blooming Speneera he has over
^iy varieties, and these are a great ad-
vance over the old grandiflora types.
In last week's issue of The Keview
p, H. Hazelton was credited with tak-
ing first prize for wreath at the Boston
Cooperative Market show. This should
have read F. H. Houghton, whose beau-
tiful pansy wreath charmed everyone.
for basket of yellow marguerites and
blue cornflowers the type made Mann
Bros, winners instead of Wax Bros.
ItJ arguerites are now a great feature
in the local markets. Mrs. Sander
from A. E. E. Koch is fine, while the
yell 'ws from N. A. Hudson, of Natick,
Jan:es Wheeler and J. W. Simpson, of
Wolurn, with 24-inch stems, are won-
deriuUy fine.
William C. Ward, of Quincy, is at
prei>ent strong on pansies and sends in
maiy thousands daily to the Boston
Flower Exchange.
Welch Bros. Co. reports business as
satisfactory since Easter.
F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, has
been deluged with inquiries for his new
snapdragon, Melrose, which won the
silver cup in New York. W. Wells, of
Earlswood, England, was particularly
taken with it and will act as English
agent for it.
The New England Bose Co., McAlpine
Bros., proprietors, of Exeter, N. H., is
sending to the Boston Flower Exchange
some splendid Bichmond, Dark Pink
Killarney, White Killarney and Hill-
ingdon.
, Wilfrid Wheeler, of Concord, who was
recently appointed Secretary of Agri-
culture for Massachusetts, will lecture
on small fruits at the next meeting of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club,
May 20. Arrangements are being made
for a special car to accommodate mem-
bers who will attend the field day at
W. H. Elliott's, Madbury, N. H., in
May.
J. H. Leach & Son, of North Easton,
have fine valley this season. They
have the knack of getting good stems
and sufficient foliage, even in midwin-
ter. Their carnation Pink Supreme
continues to sell on sight at the Boston
Cooperative Market.
Eber Holmes, of the Montrose Green-
houses, evidently appreciates the close
connection between cows and good
roses, as a herd of thirty head has re-
cently been installed there.
The recent trade show at the Boston
Cooperative Market has had an excel-
lent effect on business there, practically
everything being cleaned out on recent
visits there.
Wm. Jurgens, of Newport, is supply-
ing the Flower Growers ' Sales Co. with
splendid bulb stock, the Spanish iris be-
ing excellent. The supply of roses will
be largely increased next season, as
Thomas Boland's two houses at Bevere
and several large houses of the Halifax
Garden Co., Halifax, Mass., will be de-
voted to them.
The next exhibition at Horticultural
hall will be held May 17 and 18. Cal-
ceolarias, pelargoniums and bulbous
flowers will be specialties.
Mann Bros., of Bandolph, state that
this has been a satisfactory bulb season
with them. They grow 750,000 Dutch
bulbs, more than any other firm near
Boston, and market all the stock at the
Boston Flower Exchange. The cold
April is favorable to them for holding
back late varieties.
J. K. Chandler, of Tewksbury, has a
beautiful pink sweet pea named Pink
Beauty, one of his own introduction and
distinct from any other in commerce,
which is in strong demand at his stand
in the wholesale market. It won first
prize recently at the Cooperative Flower
Market show.
John McFarland, of North Easton, is
handling a superior grade of valley and
white lilac. He had a handsome
wreath of these two flowers at the trade
show.
Fottler, Fiske, Bawson Co. reports an
active seed business, which the cool
weather is prolonging. A fine trade is
being done in hardy roses, shrubs, dah-
lias and bedding plants.
Frank J. Dolansky's crop of Cattleya
MossisB is coming in nicely and will
give him some thousands of flowers. He
still cuts a fine lot of gardenias, roses
and carnations. W. N. Craig.
OYSTEE BAT, N. Y.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Oyster Bay Horticultural Society was
held in the Board of Trade rooms
April 18. A large number of members
were present and President Duthie
occupied the chair. John Mclntyre and
James Beaton were elected to active
membership. The following gentlemen
acted as judges for the evening: James
Duckham, Duncan Beaton, George
Milne, and their decisions were as fol-
lows: Society's prize, W. D. Bobert-
son, Joslyn, first; best flowering plant,
W. D. Bobertson, first; three heads let-
tuce, Frank Petroccia, Locust Valley,
first; collection of orchids, cultural cer-
tificate to John T. Ingram, Oyster Bay.
A letter was read from H. A. Dreer,
PKiladelphia, offering a premium of $10
for twelve cactus dahlias and twelve
peony-flowered. It was decided to
hold a euchre party and dance May 2,
in the truck house. A committee was
appointed to have the plans for this
matured and tickets sent to all mem-
bers. The matter of buying seeds was
left in the hands of the president and
secretary, to do the best they could.
The exhibit for May will call for one
vase flowering shrubs, bunch of twenty-
five asparagus, one vase outdoor fiowers.

OBITUAEY.
John O. Hann.
John C. Hann, who was city nursery-
man at Bichmond, Va., for a number
of years until his resignation last year,
died recently at his home in that city.
He is survived by two sons, George D.
Hann, who succeeded him as city nurs-
eryman, and B. C. Hann, also of Bich-
mond.
Mrs. Andrew J. Wlnget.
Mrs. Andrew J. Winget, aged 32
years, died at her home at Mansfield,
O., April 17, after an illness of two
years. She underwent an operation last
May, but it was not successful. She
was a great lover of flowers and ably
assisted her husband in the greenhouse
and store.
August Carl Eahlmeyer.
August Carl Kahlmeyer, 83 years
old, died April 18 at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. James F. Dick, 22 Cot-
tage place, Tarrytown, N. Y. Mr. Kahl-
meyer was born in Berlin and at one
time was a gardener to the Court of
Prussia. He leaves four dJiughters and
three sons.
Ben F. BubeL
The president of the Fleischman Flo-
ral Co., Ben F. Bubel, died at 3 p. m.,
Friday, April 18, at his residence, 4337
Grand boulevard, Chicago, after a brief
illness with pneumonia.
Mr. Bubel was the son of Mrs.
Frances Bubel, brother of Mrs. I. E.
Block, Mrs. N. A. Kauffman, I. A. Bubel,
Dr. Maurice Bubel and Harry BubeL
He was born September 17, 1866, and
his entire business career was in Chi-
cago. He made a pronounced success
of the B. F. Bubel Candy Co., operating
one of the largest confectionery stores
on State street, but his rapid rise be-
gan when he took over the flower busi-
ness established in ai^ adjoining store
by Joseph Fleischman, of New York.
Mr. Bubel shortly removed the flower
store to the Bailway Exchange building
and secured the services of George W.
Wienhoeber as manager. Mr. Bubel was
not only a merchant of unusual ability,
but he seemed to have a special fac-
ulty for systematizing the flower busi-
ness and the daring to invest large sums
of money in its development. His ad-
vertising expenditure in recent years is
said to have exceeded $15,000 per an-
num and the expenditure on store facili-
ties was on an equally liberal scale. As
a result of his genius for merchandis-
ing, combined with Mr. Wienhoeber 's
ability as a florist, they were able to
develop what is now considerably the
largest retail flower business in Chicago,
and probably in the^United States. Mr.
Bubel was not personally widely known
in the trade. He Vas all attention to
business, but took no part in trade ac-
tivities outside his own store. He was
a director of the Chicago Hebrew Insti-
tute, a member of the Chicago Associa-
tion of Commerce, the Standard Club
and the Illinois Athletic Association.
He had never married.
The funeral was held Sunday morn-
ing, April 20, at Sinai Temple, thence
by automobile to Bosehill. There was
a large showing of flowers, a number
of handsome pieces coming from whole-
sale and retail florists, anJ^ a number
of those in the trade were present.
It is understood that, appreciating the
serious nature of his illness, Mr. Bubel
put all his business affairs in order,,
making arrangements which will insure
the carrying on the business of the
Fleischman Floral Co. along the same
lines as in the past.
T. H. Paterson.
Thomas H. Paterson, aged 43, former-
ly a well known florist of Baltimore,
Md., and for four years master of Lex-
ington market, in that city, dropped
dead April 15 while ascending the stairs
of a hall to attend a meeting. Mr.
Paterson 's father was also a leading
florist in lys day, father and son having
been in business for a long time on
Eutaw street, near Lexington street.
The father died several years ago. Mr.
Paterson is survived by his wife.
Montclalr, N. J. — James N. Jarvie, a
wealthy citizen of this town, has an-
nounced {hat he will make a gpit of
$500 to the Montclalr Civic Association,
to be used as prizes in a garden com-
petition. He made a similar gift last
year and the competition for the prize»
was keen.

The guarantors for the Third Na-
tional Flower Show, April 21, received
checks from Chairman Totty for the re-
turn of the assessment made for prelim-
inary expenses. A dividend is in early
prospect.
One man who achieved some little
success at the National Flower Show
attributes the quality of his stock to
washing his glass. His idea is that many
a grower would make money by getting
on the roof occasionally.
Abnormal conditions prevail this sea-
son with regard to hardy cut ferns.
Usually the market is strong and ad-
vancing at this date, but this year most
of the large packers and those who carry
quantities in cold storage appear to be
heavily loaded. Consequently the market
is weak and declining.
WBITE MB. OUDE.
All florists and horticulturists who
have any suggestions to make as to
changes, if any, in the present tariff
bill which is now before Congress,
should send in suggestions at once, if
they have not already done so, to the
chairman of the tariff committee of the
S. A. F., Wm. F. Gude, 1214 F street,
N. W., Washington, D. C. Mr. Gude
will be pleased to do all that he can to
further the interest of the florists and
horticulturists, and members of the kin-
dred organizations, but is at a loss to
know what action to take until the
parties interested make complaints or
suggestions.
Wm. F. Gude, Chairman.
AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.
The color chart committee of the
American Gladiolus Society, after ex-
amining all the available charts, has
recommended the adoption of the
"Repertoire de Couleurs" as the official
color chart of the society.
As the time for gladiolus planting is
near, the committee on nomenclature
again calls the attention of members
of the society to the importance of
their support, especially in the con-
tribution of bulbs of varieties the
names of which are duplicated, as well
as varieties which have been renamed.
The committee states that 385 named
varieties and seedlings have been tested
on the t'ial grounds, but that there are
at lea^ 150 named varieties in the
American trade which have not thus
been tried. In other words, less than
half of the varieties grown have been
tested. It is impossible to determine
whether seedlings are distinct unless
all the varieties have been submitted
Have you sent bulbs of all your ^ ari"
eties to the trial grounds?
The members of the committee feel
that this particular part of their task
is even of more importance than the

OUR PROGRESS.
Your Profit.
It is only because advertising pays
that it increases. Results produce more
advertising. It is the profitable mining-
camp that attracts the gold-seekers.
Hence you should be interested in know-
ing that in April, 1913, The Review has
ca;-ried 332% inches more classified
plant ads than in April, 1912. It is
a gain of 24 per cent. Here is the
record:
Month. Inches.
April, 1913 1719V.
April, 1912 1386%
Gain 332%
This large increase in volume of
classified advertising was due solely to
the profit returned advertisers. Because
of the nature of these classified ads it
is impossible to solicit them individ-
ually.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
With a demand that is just about
equal to the supply, the local market
conditions are better than they have
been for the last month and practically
everything cleans up at good prices.
The extreme shortage of stock that
caused the wholesalers some worry the
previous week has been relieved to some
extent by the bright weather and at
present the only apparent shortage is
of orchids. Receipts of cattleyas have
been small and, with the spring wed-
ding orders creating a more than nor-
mal demand, there is some trouble in
filling orders for these. Prices have
naturally stiffened.
Beauties in some quarters have not
been so plentiful as heretofore, but con-
tinue equal to all needs. While there is
excellent stock coming on the market,
there is considerable in the way of
low grade Beauties being cut. The de-
mand for Beauties has been excellent
since the express companies reestab- ^
lished shipping facilities and the call H
for long-stemmed stock as well as
the shorts has been brisk. In other
roses the supply and quality in most
cases are as good as could be desired-
There are no more of the long ani
medium roses than are needed and on
the short white there is a demand that
fairly exceeds the present cut. Killar-
neys sell well, as do Richmond, Mrs.
Taft, Lady Hillingdon, Radiance and
Mrs. Ward. The latter is popular for
corsage work and not enough can b«;
cut to fill all wants.
Carnations are exceedingly goo<l
property. While no fancy prices are
being obtained, the wholesalers find
little difficulty in moving them out at
jri<i€fe that are in accordance with the
quality of the stock. Red is the only
color not easy to supply.

OUR STOCK HAS A NATIONAL REPUTATION
^O BE KNOWN as handling: Amiing's Roses means that your store has the
reputation of handling the best quality stock. Quality has been our steady
aim. There almost always are plenty of short,
weak Roses, but scarcely ever too many of the
betit grade. Everybody knows good Roses always are
in demand. That Is why we have paid unceasing atten-
tion to developing a constant supply of long, strong-
stemmed Roses. You will find also that our Roses carry
larger and finer heads, length for length of stem, than
any you have had from other sources. We have a full
line. Special attention should be called to our Mrs. Ward. There Is
no other Rose In such strong demand. We have the largest supply
to be found anywhere In America.
SNAPDRAGON
Something Your Trade Will Like
Any retailer who has a call for out-of-the-ordinary work should use our
Snapdragon. When this stock is used by a man who knows how, it never
fails to make a hit. Long stems, beautifully flowered. Can supply other
colors, but are especially strong on pink, the true Killarney shade. It works
up splendidly. Put a vase of it in your show window and listen to the com-
ments. It will sell.
SWEET PEAS
You Need Them for Corsage Work
This is the time of year when you can do a fine corsage business with
our fancy, long-stemmed sweet peas. We have long-stemmed sweet peas
in very large quantity— can fill orders for thousands. The longest stemmed,
brightest colored, special fancy Blanche Ferry and the popular Butterfly
(Spencer) peas in all colors.
CARNATIONS
Quality Is More Important than Price
This is prize-winning stock. The buyers have found that it pays, at this
season, especially, to order the best. We give value. The more you think
about it the more certain you are to order Carnations of us.
EASTER LILIES
You Always Can Get Them Here
You can get here all the Lilies you need, for work and for -decorations.
We have arranged for a large crop, the first of which is just coming in. A
steady supply.

Now that the country is once more pretty bare of Lilies, we are again ready to supply all comers. Our daily receipts
are 1000 to 1500. It is good stock, some of it cut tight for long distance shipping. Prices always, right. Can you use a quantity?

miscellaneous line there is considerable
variety and snapdragon and Spanish
iris are in big supply and of excellent
quality. There is still a large quantity
of outdoor bulbous stock on the market
and plenty of jonquils and tulips are
being shipped to market daily. Valley
enjoys the usual spring demand and
the prices hold firm on the best of
stock. Weather conditions have been
favorable and the quality is all that
could be wanted. Lilies are in good
demand, but the supply now is large.
Smilaz is scarce; the supply fluc-
tuates widely from week to week.
Hardy cut ferns are falling in price at
a date they customarily advance, due
to offers from eastern shippers who
are seeking to unload at low prices.
Association Meeting.
The Cook County Florists' Associa-

17, had an excellent attendance. Presi-
dent A. C. Kohlbrand in the chair. H.
N. Bruns had been announced as the
principal speaker, but was unable to be
present because of illness. H. A. Phil-
pott talked interestingly of his trip to
trade centers in England, and of the
National Flower Show.
The principal feature of the evening,
however, was a discussion of publicity,
introduced by P. Pearson, chairman
of the association's publicity commit-
tee. Mr. Pearson had brought to the
meeting Mr. Shelton, representing a
street car advertising company, who es-
timated that if each florist in Chicago
would contribute $2.50 per month it
would meet the cost of having a hand-
some display card in every street car in
Chicago.
D. Paptony, Frederick Charles Price,
Peter Trepiulis and George Wietor were
elected to membership. An application
was received from Fred Krausa^ of
Winterson's Seed Store.

that he is prepared to book reserva-

that out-of-town florists who join the
party will be provided with tags for
their hand baggage, which will result
in the baggage being taken care of on
arrival in Chicago and placed in the
owner's space on the special train,
thereby relieving the florist of all trou-

In memory of the loving mothers who have passed away, flowers are sent to

Any white flower typifies Mothers' Day, although many prefer the whiliff carna-

Mother. Its whiteness stands for purity; its form, beauty; its fragrance,
love; its wide field of growth, charity; its lasting qualities, faithfulness.

room of the Progressive Union, corner
St. Charles and Common streets. A large
gathering of members was present. Pres-
ident Herman Doescher opened the
meeting and Secretary C. R. Panter
introduced the first speaker of the eve-
ning. Dr. G. Holt, president of the park-
ing commission. In his subject, "Rules
and Regulations of the Parking Commis-
sion," the speaker stated that the city
assumed the right to plant all public
highways, protected by the law in the
person of the city attorney. Nobody
has a right to plant or have planted any
tree, shrub or plant on any of the
city''s highways. Everything to be
planted must be approved by the park-
ing commission. The first example of
its work is the present style of planting
and beautifying the city's highways,
started during the winter months.
A short discussion followed the
speaker's interesting remarks, after
which P. A. Chopin made a motion to
appoint a committee to confer with the
parking commission to obtain informa-
tion governing concessions to plant trees
and shrubs on the public highways. The
following were appointed: Harry Pap-
worth, F. A. Quinette and Peter Chopin.
The next speaker introduced was Glen
Fleming^ secretary of the Southern
States Fair and Pan-American Exposi-
tion. He gave a clear outline of the ob-
ject of the coming exposition, to be held
in the fall of 1914, and to be interna-
tional in its scope. The buildings to be
erected will be permanent and destined
to show to the world the great resources
of the south, each state erecting its own
building for its exhibits. The speaker
asked the cooperation of the members
of the society in beautifying the
grounds and the interior of Horticul-
tural hall, stating that the florists
should look upon it as their building
and help to show what can be done
here in the line of horticulture. Mr.
Fleming invited the members of the
society to visit him at his office to give

PHILADELPHIA, PA.
The Bising Eastern Market.
The market has shown surprising'
strength during the week ending April
23. This is in direct contrast to the
weakness immediately after Easter. It
was then so bad that nothing worse
seemed possible. The improvement has
been steadily continued since, until now
we are enjoying a market so brisk that
it is hard to realize that it is the end
of the third week in April. The causes
for this reversal of ordinary conditions
are interesting. The immense crops of
plants and flowers marketed at Easter
naturally caused a reaction afterward.
This was intensified by the heavy crops
that missed Easter and by the southern
daffodils, then at their height. With
the passing of the heavy crops came the
dark, cool weather and a curtailment in
the variety of stock; no outdoor flow-
ers worth mentioning have yet re-
placed the sorts grown indoors that are
over. The fine quality of the stock
coming into the market has encouraged
the demand, now quite brisk. Flowers
are selling quickly at moderate prices,
with the supply at times unequal to the
demand.
Beauties and carnations have ad-
vanced, while all other varieties are
firm. Valley has been in lively request
and numerous extra shipments have
been required on several days. Sweet
peas of the fancy grade are scarce, in-
deed. Snapdragon is sold in large quan-
tity at figures that show a decline.
There are few Easter lilies coming into
town, the fag end of the calla crop
taking their place. Violets are nearly
over. Emperor is the only daffodil from
indoors. White lilac is an important
factor. Carnations were really scarce
at times! Greens have been largely
used.

Lancaster.
The April meeting of the Lancaster
Florists' Club was held April 17,
It was the largest meeting in the his-
tory of the club, about seventy-five
members being present. As usual, the
members visited in a body before the
meeting. George W. Park was the host
on this occasion and his seed establish-
ment proved interesting. Samuel >'•
Pennock was the speaker of the eve-
ning. He read a carefully prepared
paper giving his views on those fea-
tures of the wholesale cut flower busi-
ness that he thought might prove of
interest to the members, who afterward
quizzed him for some time. The best
of feeling prevailed. A vase of H. D-

on exhibition.

"gether, each one helping the other,
pointing out when and where things
could be improved and having many
things considered and talked over that
otherwise would never come up.
Then, again, there are times when a
grower thinks he knows better than the
wholesaler when he should send his
stock in. This is a great mistake, as
the commission man's business is to
know when the goods should be sent in
and when there should be the best mar-
ket for them. Of course, sometimes his
judgment is at fault and things do not
work out just as he has expected, but on
the whole he is certainly in a better po-
sition to make the decision than the
grower. And when the grower does not
have confidence enough in his commis-
sion man to be willing to abide by his
decisions in these matters and persists
in sending in his stock as he thinks best,
then he had better send his stock to
some other market, or else try to get a
little confidence from some of his neigh-
bers who do back up their commission
men, feeling that it is the only way to
do in sending stock to any wholesaler.
More than once we have instructed our
growers to send in their stock on a cer-
tain day or days and then have -had
them disregard these instructions and
send in the stock when they thought
best, and in such cases the flowers have
probably gotten in too late to get the
benefit of the best market.
Early Shipper Beaps Profit.
The wholesale markets are coming
more and more each year to do their
business early in the morning and this
brings us to another important point.
Get your stock in early in the day, for
the man who has his shipments in early
is the man who is going to have his
flowers sold first. There is no doubt
about this. If you wish the best results
you will have to conform to these con-
ditions, eyen if it does mean starting
your day's work an hour or two earlier.
The old saying that "the early bird
catches the worm ' ' is only too true in
this case.
I would like also to speak of the
tendency which some growers have to

hold back stock, hoping for big prices,
particularly at holiday times, although
this is something which has troubled us
more in the past than it has for the last
year or two. This is a bad practice and
never can be anything but detrimental
to the sale of the stock. As an illustra-
tion of this, I remember one Memorial
day when a large shipment of carna-
tions came in to us fr^ one of our
growers. Some of the stofek was beau-
tiful, fresh and well grown flowers, but
a large portion of it was stock which
showed that it had been pickled, and
this poor stock condemned the whole
shipment. This jtarticular grower must
have lost $200 or $300 by holding his
stock, where, if he had sent it in when
It was good and fresh, even on a lower
market, he would have come out far
•'ihead of the way he did. It was a les
son to him, one which he never forgot,
and he told us afterwards that he would

send them a portion of their order,
rather than to send them stock that "we
knew would not hold up for them, stock
that would be bound to make trouble.
Pickling is a thing of the past and any
grower who indulges in it does so at
his own expense. We cannot force
these goods on the buyer of today.
Close Attention to Details.
I have said practically nothing about
the growing and it would be a hard
matter for me to give you any advice
on points on which you are at fault
in this respect. Wihen the stock comes
in I can tell whether it has been well
or poorly grown, or whether it has been
grown in too high or too lafcv a temper-
ature or various points of that kind, but
naturally it is the conditions governing
the marketing of the stock with which
I am most familiar. But I would say
that here again in the growing is where
details count, and where good results
will not come without proper attention
to details. Well grown stock always
shows that it has had the attention and
care that are necessary to produce good
flowers, and without such attention and
care it is seldom that good stock is
grown. Sometimes it is possible to get
good stock without attention to these
details, but this is more good luck than
good management, and it is seldom that
a grower is able to repeat such a chance
success.
These are the points which our expe-
rience as wholesalers has brought most
forcibly to my attention, and I hope you
will consider them as they have been
given — hints and suggestions made in a
spirit of frankness and helpfulness and
not in the spirit of fault-finding. I be-
lieve that every man wants to improve
his business whenever and wherever he
can and is glad to get pointers, even if
they are in the line of criticism and not
praise.
We, too, have our faults and are glad
to be told of our mistakes, so that we
can seek a remedy for them. But our
interests are identical and there can be
no separation of our motives, our ambi-
tions an_d our results. One hinges on
the other and the more we try to help
each other with friendly criticism and
deserved praise,, as well as blame, the
greater efforts we both will be able to
put forth. Give us your confidence and
support, believe that we are working
for your best interests as well as our
own, and then there can be no question
of our mutual success and profit.

newly elected oflScers will be installed
and professional talent has been en-
gaged to furnish entertainment for the
guests.
Messrs. Schaflfer, Lennan and Cooke
made fine scores at the New York show
in the bowling contests, their scores be-
ing 548, 538 and 535, respectively, and
there were only two other florists who
did better.
Among the visitors in town during
last week were: Mr. and Mrs. John
Heinl, Terre Haute, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, O.; Mr. and
Mrs. C. E. Critchell, Cincinnati, O. ;
Mr. and Mrs. John Stuppy and party,
St. Joseph, Mo.; W. N. Rudd, Mount

Local florists are taking an active
part in the work being undertaken by
the various commercial organizations to
provide entertainment for, and make a
success of, the convention of the Inter-
national Association of Chiefs of Police,
to be held here in June. Among those
who are active in this connection are
Z. D. Blackistone, F. W. Bolgiano and
W. F. Crude. C. L. L.
The trade is interested in- a new lilac
now to be seen at the store of J. H.
Small & Sons, and blooming at their
greenhouses. It is named H. Koster,
the variety for which M. Koster & Sons,
of Boskoop, recently were given an
award of merit by the Royal Horticul-
tural Society in London. It is rich,
deep blue, carrying good trusses of
larger flowers than do tjfie varieties com-
monly grown by florists. The Smalls
think highly of it. The plants they are
flowering just now are some sent for
trial, for it will not be put on the mar-
ket until next year. Gude Bros. Co.
also had some plants for trial, but
brought them into flower earlier. Both
the Gude brothers speak well of it.

Business activity was well main-

demand for cut flowers was unusually
large. The larger business houses in
the center of the city combined in mak-
ing a fete of the opening week of the
season and this accelerated the demand,
not only for cut flowers, but for palms
and plants for decorative purposes.

THIS department for the cards of Lead-
ing Retail Florists— those floriists
who have the facilities for filling the
orders sent them by other florists— has
made possible the recent rapid develop-
ment of this branch of the business, a
branch of the trade now established for
all time and so helpful that its volume
will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your
share of the&e orders? You can send your
share (and make 20 per cent profit with-
out effort) if you let your customers
know you can perform this service for
them. To receive your share- well, The
Reriew's department for Retailers' carfls
remains the one way of getting prompt
action on the order in hand.
To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is for

tion.

Gentlemen:
During the past year I paid you $18.30 for a
half Inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department
of The Review. T received through this email advertisement,
from January 1, 1913, to December 31, 1913, orders to the
amount of $566.00. They caune by mail and telegraph from
New York to San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis.
Since I allowed the senders 30^, the record is ad follows:

Less 30f allowed senders.

453.80
Here is an addition of $453.80 in business which
could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of
only $18.30.
since my advertisement appeared only in The Review
It goes to show what the retail florists through the country
lose If they do not use this medium of advertising. It also
goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big "P"
but that It has three more big "R's" - Readers - Reliability -

Tbe Southwestern Market.
The local market underwent some
changes last week. During the early
part of the week stock was selling well
at advanced prices, but later in the
week the demand fell off greatly, stock
suddenly became plentiful in every-
thing, prices went down low and buyers
in big lots held the whip. Buyers in
small lots had to pay from 1 to 2 cents
more for their stock. The retail trade
was not any too brisk all the week. The
busy ones now are the greenhouse men,
who have all they can do getting things
in shane for planting out.
In looking over the market we find
an abundance of stock in carnations
and sweet peas. Carnations are down
as low as $1.50 per hundred for good
stock. Extra fancy alone holds to 2
cents. Peas are down in price again,
and $2.50 buys a fine lot of fancy peas.
Roses, too, are plentiful and low in

18 and 19 as a guest of the Kirkwood
florists. Mr. Zvolanek was met on his
arrival by Hugo Gross and Joseph Hau-

The Kirkwood florists, numbering forty-
five, arranged a meeting at the Eleven
Mile house April 19. Fred W. Ude, Jr.,
wag the presiding officer. He introduced
Mr. Zvolanek, who spoke for an hour
on the culture of sweet peas, from the
first to the present-day varieties. He
concluded his talk by telling the florists
that long-stemmed peas were the only
stock to grow and that the short-
stemmed should be relegated to the
dump pile.
A short recess was taken and a fine
spread was served, at which Mr. Zvo-

rest for the last two weeks, and in her
absence Mrs. Gaudolfa, her sister, and
Anna Meyer have charge of the store.
At H. G. Berning's, stock was plenti-
ful all the week. Otto Bruenig, who has
charge while the proprietor is away,
says high grade stock sold well, but
that the lower grades were slow in
demand.
Geo. H. Angermueller handled a lot
of good quality carnations and roses
during the week. Fred Alves says they
shipped a lot of siipplies during the
week.
Paddy Patton, of the Smith force,
was asked the other day why it was
he never drank water. He replied that
he was afraid it would rust his ironclad
constitution.
Alex Siegel reports a good transient
trade last week. The bright sunshine
brought out the shippers in full force.
Nearly 10,000 St. Louisans got a rare
treat April 20, when that number vis-
ited the Missouri Botanic Garden to
view the tulips in bloom all over the
grounds. The large bed in front of
the new greenhouse contained 30,000
tulips. Dr. Moore says the rearrange-
ment of the beds and the new conserva-
tory will be completed by June 15.
Phil Goebel, of Kirkwood, gave a
barn dance April 19, at which all the
florists in and around Kirkwood were in
attendance. The whole force of the
W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. went
out in the big anto truck to take in
the fun.

trade last week. Benjamin Albers, the
well-known south side florist, and Miss
Lillie Schlitter were married at St. An-
drew's church, April 16. Peter Bora,
of the Ked Bud Floral Co., and Miss
Marguerite Capone were married April
20 at the home of the bride, 3049 Glas-
gow place. The trade was invited to
both weddings. J. J. B.
J. Deutschmann has been granted a
permit to erect three greenhouses and a
frame shed on his place at Kirkwood.
AUSTIN, TEX.
The growth of the flower and green-
house plant trade in this section has
been remarkable. Ten years ago there
were three small, struggling establish-
ments in town; now there are six and
one of them does more than all did at
that date,
Mrs. Eva Seiders, the carnation spe-
cialist, had a fine outside trade last
winter and hopes to increase her area
of glass.
O. Olson, E. Friedrich and Charles
AlfF & Co. are all increasing their glass,
as trade is constantly demanding more
stock.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.
The Market.
Northern growers are dumping a lot
of belated bulbous stock into the mar-
ket here, but the returns cannot be
good, for there is too much local stock
for the demand and only the choicest
quality brings satisfactory prices. Baby
roses, Cecile Brunner, are coming in
freely from outdoors, and this little
gem seems to be getting more popular
here every year. Boses of other kinds
are plentiful, some fine indoor Frau
Karl Druschki from the north making a
welcome change from White Killarney.
The stems are short as yet on the out-
door roses, but the color is good and
the foliage clean. Carnations, both in-
door and outdoor, are good and plen-
tiful.
Spanish irises are becoming more
plentiful and there were a few gladioli
on the market last week that brought
fancy prices. Ranunculus, ixias, spa-
raxis and other bulbous stock make a
change from daffodils and hyacinths,
while the California poppies make a
beautiful show. Lilac in purple and
white and other shrub flowers help to-
make a variety. Greens of the more
common kinds are still plentiful but
good. Smilax and asparagus are scarce.
In plants, rhododendrons, azaleas, prim-
ulas and cyclamens hold the stage and
the demand for them is not great.
There is still an active call for mag-
nolia leaves.
At the Pasadena Show.
The spring show of the Pasadena
Horticultural Society, April 10 to 12,
was of so fine a character that the
visitors from Los Angeles were richly
repaid for the trip. The weather was
of the southern California brand and
the attendance was all that could be
desired on all three days. The ex-
hibits were of a higher order than had
been seen at Pasadena before, espe-
cially in the bulb classes. In the class
"for six tulips the judges had the great-
est diflSculty in giving their decision,
so many fine lots being shown. The
six Pride of Haarlem exhibited by A.
Wilson, gardener for Mrs. Neustadt,
were absolutely perfect and were timed
to the minute. There were others that
looked as well, or nearly so, the first
day, but the terrific heat under the
tent was "melting" and on the sec-
ond morning the flowers would not
have been so difficult to judge. The
group of flowering plants put up by W.
T. Shield, gardener for Mrs. W. Aller-
ton, was a winner. The flatness char-
acteristic of the usual groups was ab-
sent and every plant told. Schizanthus
Wisetonensis, Nicotiana SandersB and
others were finely grpwn and tastefully
displayed. All the private gardeners*
exhibits were good and the competition
in some cases was unusually keen.
In the trade groups, Howard &
Smith took a prominent place. The
front of the' orchestra was completely
covered with a trellis, on which was
trained the new red Cherokee rose, Ra-
mona, in full flower. The ends and sides
were flanked with flne kentias and the
center was occupied by a magnificent
lot of punsies of the well known How-
ard & Smith quality. The crowning
point of all, however, was the beauti-
ful collection of amaryllises in flower.
Fred Howard has worked with this
strain until there is nothing in the
country to equal it, and those who can-
not make it convenient to see the Mon-
tebello grounds, where they are grown
by the acre, had a good opportunity
here.
The Germain Seed & Plant Co., South
Main street, Los Angeles, made a fine
exhibit of bulbous and other fiowers,
showing the quality of the seed strains
controlled by this noted firm. The late
was a little late for the narcissi, but
the tulips were at their best and the
great variety and high quality of the
flowers shown were a revelation.
J. Dieterich, of Wall street, Los A^n-
geles, showed fine plants of Erica per-
soluta alba.
The Clemence Nurseries, Pasadena,
had an excellent exhibit. The back of
their group was composed of fine hang-
ing baskets of "lotus." The front
consistel of small, pretty groups of
popular stock, such as begonias, co-
leus, Geum miniatum, rehmannias and
others. The stock in all cases was

finely grown and in good cultural con-
dition, each piuM a reptfca of the other.
^ great deal of credit is due to this
young and energetic firm for the show-
ii^fr made in a-fihort time.
The Mentor Nursery, Robert Pegg
proprietor, sh6\Fed a pretty group of
plants in which Bougainvillea lateritia
If as prominent; also a fine lot of the
African daisy, Dimorphotheca auran-
tiaea.
Tlieodore Payne, of Los Angeles, put
up a group of rare and unique plants
and shrubs, which was the center of
an interested group of spectators dur-
ing the whole continuance of the show.
The Los Angeles Flower Market was
the only wholesale flower firm from
Los Angeles that showed, C. E. Mor-
ton putting up a fine table of tulips.
William Hertrich, gardener at the
Huntington estate, put up a group of
palms, ferns and foliage plants and a
good display of cinerarias came from
William Hutchinson, gardener for Mrs.
Eva Fenyes.
The progress made in school garden-
ing here was well shown in the pretty
display of flowers, the fine vegetables
and interesting exhibits of correctly
named wild flowers put up by the pub-
lic school children.
I should like to mention many more
of the fide exhibits made by private
gardeners, did space permit, but I can-
not close without a word for J. Mc-
Gillivray, the president of the associa-
tion ana manager of the show. From
first to last he was never too busy to
attend to every detail of management,
and the smoothness of the arrange-
ments and the good feeling permeating
the whole show were largely due to his
unceasing energy and never-failing
tact.
The judging was in the hands of W.
Donald, W. E. Felgate, of Sierra Madre;
Fred Howard, of Howard & Smith, Los
Angeles; H, R. Richards, of Los An-
geles; Theodore Payne, J. Taylor and
I. Farrel.
Various Notes.
There has seldom been a more_pleas-
ant gathering than at a "house-warm-
ing" dinner given by Mr, and Mrs.
Fischer, of San Gabriel, April 13, in
their new home. As Mr. Fischer said,
it was too late to show us freesias, but
he could show us a good time, and he
surely did. The roads are fine and the
whole party made the trip in autos.
After allowing time for a short look
around, Mrs. Fischer announced dinner,
which was a splendid one, to which all
did ample justice. Home-raised turkey
??<i other good things disappeared rap-
idly and everyone present was loud in
praise of our host and hostess. Besides
Mr. and Mrs. Fischer and family, the
following were present: R. W. Saakes
and wife, J. Dieterich, wife, son and
Jaughter, H. N. Gage and wife, C. E.

The Florists' Review
April 24, 1913
A window full of Gesneriana tulips
was quite a draw recently, the stock
having been purchased from the Los
Angeles Flower Market.
H, R. Richards.
SAN FBANCISO, CAL.
The Market.
Everything is active except trade and
that is not what we should like to have
it. Plants of all. seasonable kinds are
as plentiful as one could desire them.
There is for the first time this year a
shortage of nothing that should be in
bloom at this time. Violets are about
over, however, and another couple of
weeks will end them for the season.
Lilac is plentiful and good and moves
well. Spring bulbous stock is on the
wane. There is nothing now except
late-blooming tulips and iris. Freesias
and hyacinths are over for the year.
Inside roses and carnations are plenti-
ful, but the prices are not quite as good
as they were one year ago. Fruit blos-
soms are being used quite extensively
for decorating. Lilies and valley are in
good supply and move fairly well.
Orchids are plentiful and are in steady
demand. Other lines of stock are about
as usual.
Various Notes.
The large beds of late-flowering tulips
and hyacinths in Golden Gate park
attract throngs of visitors during these
warm spring days.
A visit to the recently established
nursery of Henry Kempf, at Colma,
shows that wonderful progress is being
made and a great deal of propagating
is being done. This nursery was re-
cently moved there from San Francisco,
where it had been established for over
forty years.
Podesta & Baldocchi have had some
stunning window displays of orchids
during the last few days. Much of the
stock is from the houses of J. A. Car-
bone, at West Berkeley.
The recently enacted alien land laws
of California may have the eflPect of
curtailing somewhat the number of
Japanese growers, who have almost the
entire carnation growing industry in the
neighborhood of San Francisco.
E. Wagner, of San Lorenzo, Cal., is
bringing into town some of the finest
late tulips and Spanish iris ever seen
here.
E. J. Roberts, formerly of Los An-
geles, is in San Francisco and has the
intention of permanently residing here.
G.
POBTLAND, ORE.
. The Market.
Business conditions have been nor-
mal. There is little to create a de-
mand other than a general counter trade
and funeral work. There is plenty of
stock. Roses are unusually fine, Maid
especially, with stems measuring from
twenty-four to thirty inches, with the
flowers in proportion. Beauties are
showing fine color and form. While
these are not especially profitable in
this section, they serve as a novelty.
Carnations are plentiful in all varieties,
yet the standard of prices is maintained
for choicer stock. Outside tulips are
coming in, but are rather short for com-
mercial purposes. Inside stock has about
given out.

SAN DIEGO, OAL.
With Perk Superintendent Morley.
The risinfif importance of this beau-
tiful city is indicated by the rapid ad-
vance in the florists' business here. The
new stores continually being opened
seem only to make the others more
busy, proving that competition here,
as elsewhere, is the life of trade. The
nearest Pacific coast city to the Mex-
ican line, and therefore the nearest to
th Panama region, it was only to be
expected that San Diegans would make
a bold bid for the trade that is to fol-
low the opening of the canal, and this
they are doing. Scores of miles of splen-
did hard stone roads connect ^Jie park
system with the historic Port Lbma dis-
trict and the interesting Mission valley,
making ideal conditions for motorists,
while an excellent street car service is
at the command of those who need it,
reaching far out into the country and
to the beach resorts.
I had the pleasure of a long ride
through this magnificent section re-
cently with John Morley, the park su-
perintendent here, and, while I should
'ike to mention more of the interesting
points visited — such as the old town
famous as the landing place of the
Franciscan friars, who did so much to
Civilize California, and the old mission
~-I have perforce to keep to the level of
present-day matters and stick to what
Mr. Morley is doing with his immense
charge.
The Exposition Grounds.
The grounds being laid out for the
J91t Exposition, while quite distinct
"cm the parks, are yet part of the sys-
tem and will be included in this when
the show is over. What the park com-
mission is doing is to improve, with
good roads and suitable planting, hun-
dreds of acres of wild canyon and moun-
tain land. This land is so bad in many
P'a^'es that every hole prepared for a
"c'5 has to be "shot"; that is, a
charge of dynamite is placed in it to
^"■''ak up the hardpan and allow the
'o«^'ts to work. The ground for .lawn

again. But this kind of thing only
stirs him to greater activity and the
work is going ahead just as fast as
money and men can be found.
Mr. Morley has wisely used much
native material in his planting, and the
California lilac, Ceanothus thyrsiflorus,
is here in several varieties. The cis-
tuses, ^r rock roses, has also been used
to good effect and numbers of native
perennials are being raised from seed
for use later. There are many wild
spots of great beauty that will not be
touched, except to plant a few firs, as

Mr. Morley says, to elevate the sky-
line. There is a great deal in knowing
what not to do, as well as what to do, in
a case of this kind. The new lath
house built in the nursery is full of all
classes of fine shrubs and herbaceous
stock in every stage of development,
from tiny seedlings to stock ready to
plant; so, if appropriations run low for
nursery stock, the good work will go
on just the same. Los Angeles lost a
good man in John Morley, but "it's an
ill wind," etc., and San Diego gets the
benefit.

Thlrty-flrst aimual convention at Cleveland, Jon*
24 to 26. 1913.
J. Ltnabd has opened a seed store at
530 Front street, Mankato, Minn.
Cautious dealers are booking orders
for hyacinth bulbs "subject to advance
in duty," there being a fair prospect
that the new tariff bill will be law before
this season's crop moves, and a possi-
bility that the old rate on hyacinth bulbs,
$2.50 per thousand, vyill be restored.
Seedsmen generally still are going at
top pace. Mail orders are holding up
unusually well and counter trade, espe-
cially west of the Alleghenies, is heavy
as April closes. The season has been a
peculiar one thus far, but most houses
have found it favorable; they are look-
ing for a new record when the filial
footing up is reached.
The seed trade should write to con-
gressmen and senators asking for a
change in the tariff bill on seeds not
specially provided for. In the present
law the rate is 10 cents per pound, and
there are a number of objections to it.
In the new bill now pending the rate is
changed to fifteen per cent ad valorem.
In some respects it is a better rate, but
the principle of specific duties is the big
thing and should be maintained. Why
not make this rate 8 cents per pound t
NO RAIN IN CAIilFOBNIA.
No additional rain has fallen in the
California seed growing district since
last week's report. Waldo Rohnert
says that with an inch more rain there
would be about a half crop and that
without any more rain the growers will
be lucky to get back their stock seed,
except where fields have been irrigated.
JAPAN'S LILY BULB EXPORTS.
The exports of lily bulbs from Japan
in 1912 were as follows:
To — Number. Valne.
Great Britain 9,792,095 $226,396
United States 9,145,137 181,198
Other conntrlCB 3,153,903 73,214
Total M,091,138 9480,80S
Further details are not yet available,
but it is estimated that Holland took
fully half the bulbs credited to "other
countries. ' ' No statistics are kept as to
the size of bulbs exported, but they are
usually from seven inches upwards,

ALARM IN CALIFOBNIA.
The seed trade has been keenly in-
terested in the report in this depart-
ment of The Review last week, refer-
ring to the apprehension caused by the
lack of rainfall in the C^ifornia seed
growing sections. It had been general-
ly understood that conditions were not
favorable, but how bad they were had
not been appreciated until The Beview
article appeared.
Here is a table of rainfalls that shows
the situation from the viewpoint of the
weather bureau's office at San Jose:

June for the last three seasons:

1911 78
1912 8.11
Commenting on these figures April
14, E. O. Piper, manager of the Braslan
Seed Growers' Co., said: "It is quite
evident from this tabulation that the
rainfall this season is seriously short,
particularly in view of the fact that
last season also was about three inches
short of normal, which averages about
thirteen inches.
"The present water level at local
seed farms is low and has fallen below
the suction limit of most of the old
pumping plants that are used to irrigate
the orchard districts. For this reason,
many of the pumps have had to be
lowered and in saine places it has al-
ready become impractical to lower them
farther.
"The long dry period from the latter
part of January to the last of March
set all the plants back considerably and
a great deal of seed planted at that
time, finding insufficient moisture in the
mulch, failed to germinate. The
stormy period about the end of March,
revived all plantings considerably and
temporarily made things look as though
the damage caused by the long preced-
ing dry spell was not permanent.
**But now that the present dry spell
has continued for so long, the effects
of the great shortage of moisture in
the soil are becoming most noticeable
in the weakened stand of all seed crops.
This condition is not alone confined to
the plantings in the drier lands, but is
also commencing to obtain in what are
ordinarily called wet lands.
"As most of the growers have kept
up almost continual cultivation, all
available moisture has been brought up
and unless we are favored with show-
ers from now on, the dry condition of
the lower strata and subsoils will un-
doubtedly bring about hopelessly short
yields. At present it is problematical
whether certain crops planted in the
higher and lighter soils will yield at
all. The apprehension of many of the
growers if evident from the way in
which irrigation is being attempted; it

The Florists^ Review
April 24, 1913.
'^M«-«'4.^>4* • •
is still much too early to note any
change as a result of these efforts.
' ' Sweet peas now stand, on an aver-
age, about six inches high. Some
of the early-flowering varieties have
already started to bloom. At this sea-
son, it does not seem possible that the
stand can attain sufficient extra growth
to yield anything like a normal crop.
So with continuing rain shortage, sweet
peas will undoubtedly again be a de-
cidedly short item. I understand, from
Messrs. Gardiner and Beale, of James
Carter & Sons, London, that the sweet
pea fields here look better than those
in the southern part of the state.
"Onion, during the. last three weeks,
seems to have stood still, showing little
new growth. The stands are all about
one foot in height. The ends of the
stalks show a decided tendency to yel-
low and dry out and almost all plants
have thrown out numerous premature
seed stalks.
"Lettuce may be found in all stages;
some crops barely appearing through the
soil, while others are commencing to
head.
"Eadish stands about eight to ten
incheV and seems quite green and
rugged, but, as you well know, this is a
large-growing crop that requires con-
siderable moisture and an early start
to carry it through to the producing
stage.
"Our HoUister farm, seeded late, is
planted to lettuce. This has made a
good stand since the March rainfall and
we have hopes of receiving a fair yield
there. At Sweeny Ranch we have con-
served what moisture has fallen by vig-
orous cultivation, but if we do not re-
ceive considerable additional rainfall,
I regret to say that we do not expect
anything like a normal yield."
THAT ABANDONED LEASE.
Referring further to the report in
The Review for April 17 that one of the
large California seed growers has aban-
doned, because of the drought, its
leased land, the following, under a
Mayfleld date line, April 11, appeared
in the San Jose Times: "The dry
weather has driven the big seed grow-
ing company, which recently rented a
large section of the 8,000 acres of the
Stanford estate, to abandon its lease.
It is reported that all employees of the
seed firm have been let <yt. The em-
ployees, mostly Japanese, were allowed
to go yesterday. The seed firm went to
the expense of plowing and seeding the
large tracts of land and, not being in a
situation where irrigation was possible,
they were dependent upon the rainfall
for the growth of the seed crops. This
year has been too dry for the cbinpany
to successfully continue its business,
and it is probable that the company
will do no more until next spring."
OBJECTS TO THE OUTS.
The following duties on seeds are
proposed by SiBnator McCumber, of
North Dakota, in an amendment to the
tariff bill introduced in the Senate:

John C. Hann died recently at Kich-

for a number of years.
M. KosTER, of M. Koster & Sons, Bob-

the new lilac, H. Koster, next season.
John Mullhaupt, of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
has accepted the position of chief for-
ester with the Northeastern Forestry Co.,
of New Haven, Conn., and will he sta-

pany has its nurseries.
FoBTY men are at work in Biverside
park, Indianapolis, Ind., endeavoring to
save something from the wreckage of the
nursery. Two hundred thousand plants
were washed out, but it is believed most
^ * of them may be saved and replanted.
The Brainard Floral & Nursery Co., at
Thompsonville, Conn., of which D. W.
and C. F. Brainard are proprietors, has
changed its firm name to the Brainard
Nursery & Seed Co., and April 15 it dis-
continued its cut fiower business in order
to devote greater attention to seeds and
nursery st<MjK.
The Atlantic Nursery Co., Inc., at
Berlin, Md., believes in The Beview
Classified ads. It got results from al-
most everywhere with a few insertions
and was so well satisfied that it has or-
dered the ad continued. Manager D. W.
Babcock writes: "Continue our adver-
tisement as you have it for the next
four issues. Your paper certainly doas
the work. We have orders from nearly
all the states and also from Canada."
The ad carried prices and the results
were immediate.

The Aurora Nursery Co., of Aurora,

spring to pupils of the public and

card was also inscribed with the motto,

ful." J. A. Young, president of the^ Au-
rora Nursery Co., is also Aurora 'city
forester. He tried the same educational
experiment last year, in the giving away
of trees, with encouraging results.
W. T. March, manager for the New-
burys, Inc., at Mitchell, S. D., has pre-
pared the plans for the new park which
the city will establish on the former
driving park site. The track will be re-
tained, but the rest of the plot will be
planted with trees and shrubs.
The Natomas Consolidated Co., of
California, has just received at Citrus,
Cal., 2,153 pieces of orange stock from
the Kirkman Nurseries at Fresno, Cal.,
this being the first shipment of the large
order of nursery stock recently con-
tracted for by the new company. E. K.
Carnes, who is in charge of the horticul-
tural work, has compl5;ed a tour of the
state, buying orange, olive and almond
stock with which to build up the nursery
that has been established on the 18,000-
acre irrigated project of the Natomas
Co.
SHRUBS FOE SHADED LOCATIOK
What good shrubbery would grow at
th 1 north end of a house, mostly shaded
all day, here in the southeastern part
of New York state? I want shrubs
that will show up well. H. B. & S.
In the way of evergreen flowering
shrubs, rhododendrons succeed finely at
the north side of a house where there is
shade most of the day. A bed two and
one-half feet deep should be dug out
for them and a mixture of pasture
loam, decayed cow manure, rotted
leaves and sand added. Good, hardv
varieties are R. album elegans, roseum
elegaas,' <"delieatis8imum and Charles
Dickens. The native Catawbiense and
maximum can also be planted. Such
evergreen shrubs as retinosporas and
taxus will als(j do well in sweh a loca-
tion. For evergreen climbers, both
English ivy and Euonymus radicans
will be foiund first-class. In deciduous
shrubs, Berberis Thunbergii, Lonicera
Tatarica and Fhiladelphus coronarius
will do fairly well, but the rhododen-
drons would find the location ideal.

All Seasonable Plants — Seeds — Bulbs and Sundries
HARDY PERENNIALS, ^he most complete collec^on of varieties
L- and the largest stock m the country. Our
Perennial^plants have a national reputation. We spare no expense to have them in
the best possible shape for the planter. Such varieties as move better when pot-
grown are prepared in this shape. This does not mean little seedlings but in the
tuajority of cases the plants were field-grown, were dug and potted during the fall
and winter months, and are just the right size to give immediate results. They are
not to be compared with so-called field clumps. Try them and be convinced. See
our"carrent wholesale list for varieties and prices.

The Florists^ Review
Afbil 24, 1813.
LANCASTEB. PA.
Twenty-five members of the Lancas-
ter County Florists' Club made a visit
April 17 to the greenhouses and seed
establishment of Geo. W. Park at La
Park, Pa. The greenhouses are in
charge of E. W. Byer, who grows 600
varieties of plants, in addition to the
immense lot of bulbous and hard-wooded
stock found on the grounds, which is
quite an undertaking for one man.
The seed houses are a genuine hive
of industry, with a modern printing es-
tablishment turning out 600,000 copies
of Park 's Floral Magazine every month.
Some idea of the business done here
may be formed from the fact that one
day's mail brought orders for over 500
tuberous begonias, that more than
1,000,000 gladiolus bulbs are sold at re-
tail by mail every year and every im-
aginable variety of seed and mailable
bulbs are sold in the same proportion.
Beturning to Lancaster, the club held
a meeting, at which all members but
four were present. S. S. Pennock, of
the Pennock-Meehan Co., was the essay-
is1{. His subject was "The Faults of
thf Grower in Growing and Consigning
Hie Stock." It was exceptionally well
handled, and was followed by a discus-
sion that has practically put an en'd to
the pickling of stock in this section,
and has determined the grower who
grows less than 5,000 plants for bloom
to stick to from one to three varieties,
so that he may have them in reasonable
quantity.
Thos. R. Fries read a paper on Easter
stock, which was well received and dis-
cussed.
A committee was appointed to select
a place for the summer picnic and make
all arrangements.
Another committee was appointed to
work out a cooperative system of buy-
ing and report at the meeting in Sep-
tember for action.
After the meeting a large delegation
escorted Mr. Pennock, James Brown, of
Coatesville, and C. P. Bernard, of North-
brook, through Lancaster's "White
Wb^" to the station. A. M. H.
Anderson, Ind. — The benches in the
greenhouses of B. H. Klus & Son were
under four feet of water during the re-
cent flood, but most of the stock is com-
ing since it was cleaned up.
NoTTistown, Pa. — Wm. H. Catanese
says this is proving to be the best sea-
son he ever had. He advertised ex-
tensively for Easter and had so much
business he had to get another store
and a lot of extra help. The benefit
of the advertising has been apparent in
the business done since Easter.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The Market.
Business last week was unusually
good, a number of weddings and social
functions calling for quite a lot of dec-
orative work and cut flowers. Tulips
and daffodils are selling exceptionally
well, as are carnations and roses.
Various Notes.
Champion & Co. report business brisk.
They filled an order last week for a wed-
ding decoration at Shelton, Conn., using
smilax, snapdragons and Tausendschon
roses. Their window was attractive
April 19, displaying choice snapdragons
and other spring flowers. Funeral work
has kept them busy, orders being filled
every day last week.
W. H. Long had a busy week, cut
flowers and plants selling well.
Slocombe Bros, are cutting choice
sweet peas. Their houses will be in
full crop up till Decoration day.
S. H. Moore had an attractive window
display of araucarias, Boston ferns and
spring flowers.
W. H. Barnett is booking a number
of advance orders for his fancy single
geraniums for Decoration day. Bedding
stock at this plant is looking thrifty.
At the Eehbein range on Howard ave-
nue fine Boston ferns were noted. Every
available inch of space is filled at pres-
ent with bedding stock, which looks
well.
Boses are now in full crop at the
plant of the Doolittle Floral Co. and
they have to cut closely every day to
All orders. They have had a heavy
call for early vegetable plants at their
downtown store.
Jos. J. Sokol reports a busy week with
funeral work and early shipments of
geraniums and other bedding stock. His
carnations are in heavy crop.
Superintendent of Parks Amrhyn is
carrying out needed improvements on
the old green. Pipes are to be laid
GERANIUMS
We have about 5000 plants of S. A. Nutt and Marvel, which we want
to move at once. They are fine, strong young plants in 2-inch pots,
and will make fine stock for late spring sales if shifted right away.
We also have a few hundred each of Decorator and A. Ricard. There
is no finer young stock in the country, and they are really a bargain
at the price we are quoting—
$2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000
We also have about 1000 fine young plants of Carnation White Perfection,
in 2-inch pots, which we offer you for $20.00 per 1000.
It will be to your advantage as well as ours if you will order at once.

The Market.
Business in the wholesale market has
been steady and opened encouragingly
April 21. There is no surplus; Satur-
day's sales left the market compara-
tively depleted. Shipments are light
and the general trade is not complain-
ing. Prices have not advanced and cur-
rent quotations seem satisfactory to all
concerned. There has been little change
from last week's price records. Beau-
ties are doing better. Carnations have
been strong and continue to hold so, the
novelties bringing $4 per hundred. The
selected American Beauties have sold as
high as 30 cents each. All other roses
are firm at last week's quotations. The
best cattleyas still bring 75 cents and
are not plentiful. The, second grade is
selling at 50 to 60 cents. Violets may
as well be omitted for the balance of
the season. Valley is firm, offerings
being at from 3% cents down to 2
cents. The best tulips sell at $3 per
hundred. Lilies are plentiful. All
spring flowers are abundant and prices
low. These include lilac, phlox and pan-
sies.
Various Notes.
The seedsmen are elated and univer-
sally prosperous. The general verdict
is, ' The best year in our experience, ' '
and the season still is young. It has
been a grand year for the nurserymen;
perfect shipping and planting weather,
vegetation encouragingly delayed.
L. .T. Kervan, who has spent the win-
ter enjoyably in Florida, will return
to the city May 1.
Harry Weston, of Hempstead, L. T.,
president of the Growers' Cut Flower
Co., was operated upon last week for
appendicitis. He is in the hospital at
Mineola and his many friends will be
pleased to know the prospects are en-
couraging for his complete and early
recovery.
M. C. Ford displayed in his window
last week some fine gladioli from Flor-
ida.

guests were present.

Owing to unavoidable delays, the'
opening of the marble palace of John
S. Nicholas, in the Grand Central Ter-
minal, did not take place until April 23.
Mr. Nicholas extends a cordial welcome
to the florists to visit this unique store.
It must delight florists everywhere to
know that the National Flower Show
was so satisfactory a financial success
that it may now be safely announced
that under the same splendid manage-
ment and in the same building the ex-
hibition will be repeated in 1914. Thero
is every reason to believe the annual
flower show hereafter in New York will
prove as great a drawing card as the
horse show or the automobile exhibition.

The annual dinner of the Rochester
Florists' Association will be held
April 24 at the Hotel Rochester, the
date having been determined upon at
the meeting of the body April 14.
Delegates from the association to the
National Flower Show in New York

ston reported on orchids, E. P. Wilson
on roses, Chas. M. W. Suhr on carna-
tions, J. Michael Keller on greenhouse
plants, and G. B. Hart on the general
features of the show. Mr. Ogston and
Mr. Keller were jurors.
R. G. Salter spoke on the subject,
"The Flower Business in Rochester,"
detailing the growth of the trade from
the early seventies to the present day.
In 1881 he started the first down-town
shop for the sale of cut flowers. At
Christmas of that year he brought a
small box of holly to the city for sale.
He mentioned this to show how the
business had grown to the point where
holly is now sold by the carload. At
Easter in 1883 he bought 500 violets.
Last Easter he purchased 50,000.
Following the meeting the members
of the association enjoyed a Dutch
luncheon.

CLEVELAND.
The Sixth City.
Favorable weather last week kept
trade moving at a brisk pace and the
market has been cleaned up closely each
day. Boses are improving in quality.
Some good Beauties are seen. Carna-
tions are fine and are plentiful enough
to meet all demands, but there will pos-
sibly be a considerable shortage by
Mothers' day. Snapdragons are at their
best now. Valley is plentiful. Green
goods are in fair demand. Of violets
there are only a few, home-grown.
Single sweet peas are short in supply
from local growers. Chicago stock is
plentiful and of good quality. Calen-
dulas and daisies are in heavy supply.
There is a good supply of Easter lilies.
Large quantities of lilies have been
used in the last few weeks.
Various Notes.
Guy Bate is busy at Newton Falls,
O., establishing the new plant of the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co.
The bowling tournament of the Flo-
rists' Club is drawing to a close. The
game April 28, between the Daffodils
and the Tulips, will finish the season.
Carnations are being planted in the
field by a few venturous growers. A
heavy freeze April 19 and 20 did some
damage to early sweet peas, etc.
Adam Graham gave a talk on the
Panama canal before the Florists' Club
at its last meeting. Mr. Graham had
just returned from the canal a few days
before and his remarks were naturally
right up to the minute, as well as being
exceedingly interesting.
Miss Schmitt, of the wholesale store
force of the J. M. Gasser Co., has the
sympathy of the local trade in the loss
of her father, whose death occurred
April 17.
The Ohio Horticultural Society is
booming its flower show, to be held
.Tune 12 to 14. Several thousand "Wel-
come ' ' stamps have been passed around
to local florists, to be used on their out-
going mail.
Carl W. Gerdum is getting estab-
lished in his new venture. He has pur-
chased the greenhouses on Schaff road,
formerly conducted by the Ohio Floral
Co. Mr. Gerdum will move his stock
of orchids, consisting of about 8,000
t-attleyas, from his old place in Lake-
wood to the new plant. He also in-
tends to grow a general line of cut flow-
ers and plants.
W'. L. Rock, of Kansas City, Mo.,
stopped off a few days on his return
from the big show. John Evans, Rich-
mond, Ind., was also a visitor.

A SEARCH FOR SNAPDRAGON.
The writer took a trip to the great Flower Show and
spent the early mornluK hours in the wholesale flower
district of New York. Having snapdragon on the brain,
every variety caught his eye. He saw many buyers pagj
the high class lancies and mixed lots but eagerly seek
the silvery pink strains. One lot of K*nuln* Silvn
Pink was cleaned up in his presence by two buyers on
arrival, and the salesman said that it was so with every
shipment. This search was instructive and gratifying,
and we wish to'say :
FIRST:— If yoa grow snapdragon atall, selectagood
one and grow it well— give it room, keep it straight, and
market it while it is fresh.
SECOND:— If you want a variety that the buyers
take, grow SILVER PINK. The buyar is the man that
we must all cater to. Our opinion counts but little
against the man at the end of the line— the man with
the money.
Silver Pink has two attractive features— its color, and
habit of growth. It does not carry any unsightly side
growth to lop over and appear wilted. All shoots can
remain, which, by their stiffness and gradual shortening
as they near the flower, give a symmetrical stock with
folias* and flower combined. Look into this point.
It is a strong one. Disbudding means much tlmelost and
a demllete flower stem. If you wish a demonstration
send 25c for sample spike with all growth and cuttings
attached. My original Silver Pink is a clean-cut stand-
ard, far a head of the list in style and color, which appeals
to he buyer on sight.

PITTSBURGH, PA.
The Market.
Pittsburgh is experiencing most de-
lightful spring weather, with clear skies
and sunshine, and yet cool enough for
one to enjoy an overcoat. Peaches and
cherries are in fine bloom and Oie
early shrubbery is flowering. All of
the soft-wooded trees are coming fine-
ly into leaf and everything is just
right to make people want to buy. The
rule among the wholesalers all week has
been to clean up by noon, which makes
some think that stock is scarce, but,
rather, the demand has been good, as
there is a good cut of everything com-
ing in. The first local outdoor stock.
Trumpet narcissi, came in this week.
There are still a few violets arriving.
Sweet peas are between crops and what
are coming in are not fine, but sell
clean; in fact, almost everything re-
ceived is good. Little rubbish is com-
ing to the market. There has been a
good demand for flowers of all kinds
and all of the retail stores have been
busy; nothing unusually big, but what
is better — a good, healthy trade.
The seedsmen are working night and
day to keep up with their orders and
it is said there never were so many
small buyers as this year.
Various Notes.
The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. still
holds the duck pin championship. The
results of the matches played April 11
were as follows: Pittsburgh Cut Flower
Co., 1,461, and W. H. Carney Co., 1,411;
McCallum Co., 1,421, and A. W. Smith

We are growing all our Eentlas above 6-inch size in neat C«dmr Tuba, made especially for us, with electric wire hoops, painted craen.
These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.
When in Philadelphia be sure to look us up.
We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine train service— fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all
■Ixast from 2>fl-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on Decorative Palma, in 7-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single
plants), which we can supply in any quantity. All our Palms are taome-cro^n (not an imported plant on the place) and well established
in the tubs. They are strong and healthy.
With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is muoh larrer tban ever before and never in better condition.

The Florists'" Review
Apbil 24, 1913.
NASHVILLE, TENN.
The Market.
The last two or three weeks have
been peculiar in some respects. At one
time there was the heaviest surplus of
cut flowers that Nashville has seen in
months. Both roses and carnations
were accumulating by the thousand.
The next week everyone was short on
stock and was unable to secure it from
out of town. Several stores had large
openings and purchased several thou-
sand carnations, which were given away
to visitors. The growers realized good
prices for these and all the cold storage
stock was used up. Roses are off crop.
The supply does not begin to be equal
to the demand. Sweet peas are not
nearly so numerous as they were a few
weeks ago. Violets are practically
gone, as are daffodils and narcissi. The
supply of carnations is perhaps better
than in any other item, but these are
neither so plentiful nor so good quality
as they were a few weeks ago. There
is a good supply of lilies, but none to
spare. Outdoor lilac is beginning to
come in, but the frost killed most of it.
With a light frost April 20 there
came a slacking up in the business in
bedding plants that started last week.
Our growers have already put thousands
of carnations in the field and planting
is going forward rapidly.
Various Notes.
J. F. Corbitt, a railroad conductor re-
siding in East Nashville, has estab-
lished a nice little plant for growing
cut flowers and bedding stock, which
he has been disposing of largely at
wholesale. Last week he completed
arrangements with a first-class green-
house man to operate his plant on
shares for the next year.
The Mount Olivet cemetery green-
houses have done • by far the largest
business in their history since Janu-
ary 1. They never have had such a
good supply of bedding stock as at pres-
ent. They will be forced to enlarge
their plant soon, from present indica-
tions.
Geny Bros, say they sold more car-
nations week before last than they ever
sold in one week before.
The Joy Floral Co. planted 45,000
carnations in the field last week.
Mclntyre Bros, report business in
bedding plants as unusually heavy last
week.
Haury & Sons report that they have
been kept cleaned up closely all the
time for the last two or three weeks,
and that funeral work has been espe-
cially heavy. F. B.

NELROSE
(Named for Miss Eleanor Wilson)
jg, we believe, the best commercial An-
tirrhinum yet offered. It produces more
No. 1 flowers per plant, that sell for top
prices, than any variety of which we
have knowledge. Under glass it gives
perfect spikes, 30 to 36 inches long, on
very stiff stems, and requires no stakes.
NELROSE
won the Leo NIessen Co. cup for best
cut-flower novelty at the INTERNA-
TIONAL FLOWER SHOW in New York.
It also won flrst at the big Spring show
In Boston, in strong competition. It will
be sent out in the Spring of 1914, both
In America and Europe.
NELROSE
as an outdoor plant grows less than 12
inches high, and its bright pink color
and sturdy habit make it ideal for bed-
ding. Especially effective in large
masses. Those who should know predict
an enormous sale for park and cemetery
use. See it growing this Summer at
Auburndale, Mass., or at the establish-
ment of Mr. William Wells, Merstham,
: Surrey, England, who will disseminate
the stock to the trade in Europe.
NELROSE
is offered (to the trade only) at following
prices: Dozen, $3; 25 for $5; 50 for $7;
100, $12. We are now booking orders
for delivery next Spring.

LEAPBOLLEB MOTHS.
Will you please inform me how to
get rid of the butterflies or moths that
bring on the leaf-rollers, with which
we are troubled a great deal? Would
cyanide kill the moths, or is there
something safer? J. B.
Cyaniding, carefully done, would be
the surest remedy for the moths in
question. You must give a light dose,
however, and choose as cool an even-
ing as possible for the operation, or
the plants are likely to suffer some
damage. The gas will also kill the
rollers themselves, if any are on the
plants. An exposure of twenty to
thirty minutes will suffice if you have
facilities for opening your ventilators
from outside. If not, a light all-night
exposure can be given. To get the
exact dimensions of your house, mul-
tiply the length by the breadth and this
ijy the average height. Use stone jars
tor the acid and water. Be sure that
all ventilators are shut tight. Start at
one end of the house and drop the cy-
anide into the jars, walking away rap-
xlly. Lock the house securely and
post a sign stating the danger in-
"iirred by entering.
I would suggest for an all-night ex-
posure three and one-half ounces of
^vater, two and one-fourth ounces of

DISEASED LETTUCE.
I am sending you a few plants of my
lettuce and some of the soil. The let-
tuce is badly diseased. My first crop
came at Thanksgiving. It was in good
condition, but the second crop was af-
fected as badly as the third crop. I
put in new soil in the fall for the first
and second crop. I mixed in a 4-inch
potful of bone meal to about twenty-
five square feet, with a little air-
slaked lime -on top of it. As the sec-
ond crop was badly diseased, I threw
it out and T)ut in the third crop, using
an inch of rotted horse manure. I
have also one whole house of lettuce
in the same soil in which I had mums
last season. They are in the same con-
dition. I hope to receive advice
through The Keview. J. P. M.
Your soil seems to be about right for
lettuce culture. The fact that your
first crop was good goes to show that
there is nothing seriously wrong with
the compost. The most successful let-
tuce growers now sterilize their soil

each season, or they are sure to get more
or less of the disease known as scald.
The affected plants will be found to
have diseased roots, and the trouble is
worst during spells of sunless weather.
I should say this has been your trouble.
In new soil the crop is tolerably
sure to be clean, but successive batches
will come poorer unless the soil has
been sterilized. At Arlington and Bel-
mont, Mass., where perhaps a greater
number of houses are devoted to let-
tuce forcing than in any other part of
the United States, all lettuce soil is
sterilized each season, and if you will
do the same with your soil you should
have equally fine crops. Instead of
adding bone meal, use two or inree
inches of horse manure and work it
down well into the soil by spading, or
by plowing if the houses are of suffi-
cient size to allow it. C. W.

Greenhouse Heating.
Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
A CABNATION HOUSE.
Kindly let us know how many
runs of 2-inch pipe will be needed to
heat a carnation house 21x65, six feet
high to the gutter and eleven feet high
to the ridge. The north side and both
ends are exposed; the south wall con-
tains two feet of concrete and four
feet of glass. Please state, also, how
many 3-inch flow pipes will be required.
The location is northern Iowa.
L. & J.
To heat a carnation house 21x65
feet, with four feet of glass in one
wall, when the mercury is 20 degrees
below zero, it will be well to use two
3-inch flow pipes and ten 2-inch re-
turns. Under the conditions mentioned,
however, it might be still better to use
three 2%-inch flow pipes and nine 2-inch
returns. One flow pipe could then be
upon each wall and the other under
the ridge, with the returns distributed
under the benches, or a part of these
could be upon each wall, if preferred.

THE FUEL SITUATION.
The labor situation in West Virginia
is of prime importance to the green-
house trade. Large numbers of green-
house establishments use West Virginia
smokeless coals; probably it is not too
much to say that these smokeless coals
are the florists' favorite fuels. At
present the West Virginia fields are
full of dissension. The coal trade is
strongly organized, from a labor point

Continuous Firing for Four Years Twenty
four Hours a Day Fails to Burn Out
Cyclone Grates
We have installed many sets of Cyclone Grates where these figures
have held true.
Any grates that show no evidence of burning after four years* con-
tinuous firing twenty-four hours a day must have something exceptionally
worth while about them.
Cyclone Grates resist burning because the Cyclone Plan insists upon a
mixture of iron being used which years of experience and experiment
have found best suited for the purpose.
THIS GRATE WILL SAVE YOU MONEY

of one side or the other. If the battle
is waged to the bitter end, it seems
not improbable florists will find the au-
tumn drawing near and no supplies of
smokeless coals in sight. Those famil-
iar with the situation are stocking up
now, because there is practically no
chance that the price this summer wijl
be lower than it is at present and tffe

DISPENSING WITH AIB VALVES.
Is it necessary to have air valves on
the pipes in a hot water system when
the expansion tank is connected with
the highest part of the main flow, or
can the air valves be done away with
in hot water systems?
N. W. V. G.
By running all of the pipes downhill
and connecting the highest part of the
flow pipe with the expansion tank, it
will be possible to secure first-class cir-
culation and also to do away with air
valves, as the air will always seek the
highest part of the system and pass out
through the expansion tank.
CINCINNATI.
The Gateway to the South.
Last week's market was, as a whole,
a good one. At the opening of the
week there was an active demand that
kept the market pretty well cleaned up.
As the week progressed the call for
stock let up considerably, while the
supply increased rapidly. As a result
there was a general shading of prices
on almost everything. Business this
week started even worse than at the
end of last week. A
The rose supply is large. Some of the
stock is more or less mildewed and
serves to hammer down the price on
the better quality. Most of the car-
nation oflferings are elegant. The call
for them, however, is not so strong as
it might be. The lily supply is still
large and as a result this flower brings
only an ordinary price. There is a
tremendous glut of Narcissus poeticus.
They have been coming in at such a
rate that it was impossible to move
them at any price. Many tulips are
also offered. Sweet peas are again
more plentiful. Valley has been in
rather limited supply. Snapdragon
finds a fair market. The green goods
supply is large.
Various Notes.

from Fred Kupp, of Lawrenceburg, Ind.,
who states that his greenhouse plant
was flooded and all his stock ruined.
He needs help to get going again.
The committee of the Cincinnati Flo-
rists' Society, consisting of Henry
Schwarz, Wm. Schumann and Wm.
Speck, who were to try to arrange for
donations by various florists to help
those local florists who were affected
by the flood, report that the growers
responded generously. Arrangements
are being made for the delivery of the
stock April 26.

The monthly meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held
at Pembroke hall on Friday, April 18,
with President Brown in the chair. One
new member was elected.
Communications were read from the
following firms, offering special prizes
for the fall show: C. H. Totty, Madi-
son, N. J.; Burnett Bros., Peter Hen-
derson & Co., W. E, Marshall & Co.,
Weeber & Don, Hitchings & Co. and A.
T. Boddington, all of New York. The
Stumpp & Walter Co. offered a silver
cup for twelve varieties of vegetables.
The judges of the evening's exhibit
were Messrs. Gilder, Marshall and Rob-
inson. They awarded a certificate of
culture to V. Cleres for well grown
plants of Hydrangea hortensis, first
pirize to G. Ferguson for twelve mixed
roses, and first prize to H. Gaut for
twelve Darwin tulips, variety Clara
Butt.
The schedule for the summer show

The Market.
Trade has improved somewhat during
the last week. There is as yet but little
doing in the social line, but funeral
work has picked up considerably. Stock
is plentiful. There is an increased sup-
ply of roses and sweet peas. Carna-
tions are to be had in almost any quan-
tity. Bulbous stock is still available.
Lilies and callas have been plentiful.
Beauties have been fairly abundant,
but not of the best quality. Blooming
plants are selling well, but the variety
Js diminishing.
Various Notes.
E. A. Nelson was severely hurt in a
runaway accident last week. He suf-
fered a number of cuts and bruises.
Fred Kiel, formerly with the Berter-

KANSAS CITY, MO.
The Market.
Business has been unusually good dur-
ing the last week, while the tempera-
ture was a little high for this time of
the year. A number of weddings and
social functions demanded a great many
cut flowers. Funeral work was beyond
expectations with everybody, it seems.
Shrub work is brisk with florists
who have a general run of business.
The week was marked with a glut
in the lower grades of carnations and
roses. Department and grocery stores
had big sales on both from 1 cent to 3
cents, but the better grades were needed
at times. Bulb stock is about all gone.
Ctood stock is bringing a high price.
Sweet peas are selling cheaply and in
large lots. Of the standard varieties
in carnations, Enchantress is the best,
while in roses the Killarneys are show-
ing up the best. There seems to be
plenty of bedding stock everywhere. A'
number of the florists here are figuring
on selling last fall's propagations of
geraniums this spring for $1.50 per
dozen out of 3-inch pots, and they are
worth it, as they will have to be spread
far apart, which takes up about as much
room as a 4-inch. The call for bedding
stock has started and a lot of people
have planted outside.
Various Notes.
James Payne has a fine lot of bed-
ding stock and had to throw out several
benches of carnations in order to make
room for his spring stock. He also re-
ports that funeral work was brisk last
week with him.
R. S. Brown & Son have about 75,000
vincas every year and they report that
they are going fast, as well as the bed-
ding stock, of which they sell an enor-
mous lot.
Samuel Murray reports that business
increased during the week, especially in
decorative work.
Edward Ellsworth, of the Eosary, is
busy getting his place ready for the
spring trade, and his stock looks excep-
tionally good.
W. L. Eock is back from the New
York show, where he was one of the
judges. He reports that it was a big
success for a spring show. Business
has been good with his firm the last
week,
Arthur Newell says business is better
and he has some large decorations on
hand for next week. He will decorate
for the National Bank of Eepublic and
he will use a great many cut flowers in-
stead of so many palms. The bank will
give away souvenirs of cut flowers.

WEED KILLER
THE VERY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING
WEEDS. GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS.
GUTTERS, TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC.
BBHIS fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and other growth wherever
U applied, and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh
ones for a year and thus saves a great deal of time and labor, as no
cutting, hoeing or hauling away of the weeds is required.
We manufacture the strongesgi line of DISINFECTANTS on the market.

Looking Price Straight in the Face.
WHEN you get a
specification esti-
mate on ourPipe Frame
House, the first thing
you do is to take a look
at the price. If that
price seems at first
glance to be about
right — all is satisfac-
tory.
If it is some higher than you
have been paying for all cypress
houses, with heavy wooden plate
and other shade-casting, short-
lived wooden mmibers, then
without any further investiga-
tion you at once jump to the con-
clusion that L. & B. are "high "
Now, isn't this so ?
Let's look this price question
straight in the face. Look at it
from all points of view:
Suppose you are going to stock a house with carna-
tions—you are pretty careful to compare different var-
ieties, looking into their free blooming qualities,
strength and length of stems, and so on; then you select
the very best ones your money can buy, because you know
that in the end you will get more blooms and more
money by making such a selection.
Then why allow yourself to apply any !••• careful
investigating business methods when buying a green-
house?
Why not be equally fair with yourself and make
just as careful comparisons, point by point, between
our construction and others?
If you read carefully over the list of materials we furnish
view looklnR down one of the aUeys In the cypress yards.
Millions of feet of cypress, alr-drylng for Brecnhoiige mater-
ials. Not a stick used in our green houses that has not been
alr-dryinK for two year*. When milled, all sappy parts
are cut out and burned. vSappy parts aie not uted in our
greenhouses In any way, shape or manner.)
for our Pipe Frame House, and
check it up, item for item,
in comparison with the specifi-
cations for the other build of
houses, you will find that in
reality you are getting from us
not simply the usual Pipe Frame
house, but one that is more than
half iron.
Other estimates you may have
are for one thing, while ours is
an entirely different proposition.
The other prices are a little
cheaper at the beginning, but if
you will give us half a chance
we can show you how our con-
struction most certainly will cost
you less in the end.
Things are different now than
ten or twenty years ago, when
men could make good money
in heavy, shade-casting houses.
These same men find them-
selves up against the stiffest
kind of game to make satisfac-
tory profits today, in competing
against growers with up-to-date,
productive, repair- free houses.
Still, on the other hand, if
you want an all cypress
house, rather than our Pipe Frame or all Iron Frame, we
can sell you top notch materials as reasonably as anyone-
quality of cypress and smoothness of milling taken into
comparison. Fact is, there is no greenhouse concern in
the country that has as many million feet of air-dried cy-
press being turned into greenhouse materials each year.
It is exceedingly bad financing to build in a way that you
know means constant repairs, and in a few years makes
necessary the complete tearing down and replacing of your
houses. Such houses positively cannot produce the high-
est paying quality and quantity— and such a property, if
put on the market, practically brings nothing.
Building cheaply is a losing game any way you figure it.

"Cypress Wins In a Canter"
As a straw to show how the wind blows, we note that a recent issue of The Florists' Review carried
advertisements from the following greenhouse contractors and material men, all of whom recommend
CTFBESS in large, black, healthy display type:
JOHN 0. MONINGEB CO., Chicago, users of Cypress ("and no substitutes.") ALL OYiPKBSS.
STOKES BSOTHEBS CO., (Inc.) Philadelphia— specialize in CYFBESS Bench Boards.
LOOKLAND LUMBEB CO., Lockland, Ohio, shout for "Spot Clear CYPRESS."
SCHNUTE-HOLTMANN CO., Evansville, Ind., announce "Clear CYPRESS."
ADAM SCmLLO LUMBER CO., Chicago, specialize in "PECKY CYPRESS."
Now the joke in this is: No dealer in a "substitute" for CYPRESS mentioned his "cheaper" ar-
ticle. Those who use clear, heart CYPRESS seem to be PROTJD OF IT. They are willing to "go before
the country" on the standard that all experience in greenhouse construction has set — clear, heart CYPRESSt
"and nothing but." , „
THERE'S AN ARGUMENT IN THIS SO PLAIN WE DON'T HAVE TO TELL IT.
There's Profit for You in the Facts— So Plain You're Bound to Go After It.
How about our free booklets in the CYPRESS POCKET LIBRARY? They're attractive — and
chock full of greenhouse "hoss-sense." Vol. 1 is the Government Report on the "wood eternal"; VOL. 3
has the last word on GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION; Vol. 20, "Cypress for All Farm Needs"— it 'a new.
A postal will bring you one or a dozen — they're free, absolutely. Write us a letter just for luck and good-
fellowship — and as a good business move.

To the Trade : --Mothers ' Day already has become one of the im-
portant special flower days and, if the Retailers keep up their good
work of advertising it to the public, it soon will be one of the
trade's very best days. But to get the most out of Mothers' Day we
must all work to get aill kinds of flowers used, not just white car-
nations. We all know there are not enough white carnations to go
around and that a big special demand for them alone sends them up in
price, while other flowers still are selling at the same low prices
as in ordinary times. If the Retailers will push colored stock for
Mothers' Day they will increase their profits and make it possible
for us to give still better service to our customers. Advertise
''Bright flowers for Mother still in the home; white flowers for
Mother's memory,'' and tell your customers that the appropriate
flower for Mothers' Day is the flower Mother liked best. It will
work fine. Try it ajid see if it don't.
FOR MOTHERS' DAY we caji supply everything that is to be had in
this market ajid our prices will be, as always, the market rate at
the time of shipment. We always treat our customers right.
WATCH FOR SPECIAL DECORATION DAY ANNOUNCEMENT NEXT WEEK.
Mothers' Day Orders
should be placed at once in order that you may be sure of getting the best stock. The market
will not be oversupplied with Carnations, but we can handle your order if you send it in now.

cJl^rJiai^ Feb. 5; 1913.
I purchased our oommeroial car from the White Company for
delivery purposes in and about New York City, and for running between
our Nurseries at New Rochelle, H.Y., and our City store in New York.
We find this car a very valuable faotor, both in the long
and short distance runs. After running it for a year, I consider the
automobile delivery almost indispensable and, in my opinion, there is
none superior to the White Car.

THE TREND OF THE TRADE.
Helpful Competition.
In The Review of March 20 there
V as an interesting article on "The
Trend of the Trade," and as this is a
subject of great importance to all, it
no doubt has been read with interest
and has also given rise to many opin-
ions for and against the views which
were expressed there.
There is no doubt as to the large
amount of stock to be handled; so
large that it might be said to be in
excess of the demand. This is not so,
however. At any rate, the demand
may be increased. This has been done
and is being done from day to day.
Yes, the stock is here and we must sell
it and we are going to sell it.
The wholesaler who opens new re-
tail stores is working along one line
which should meet with success. It
must not be a combination of whole-
sale and retail business, however, but
strictly a retail store, buying from the
wholesale department. Then will re-
sult honest competition, and every com-
petitor of this kind is boosting busi-
ness. Cut flowers at retail must be sold
ut retail prices and there is no reason
why any retailer should fear the com-
petition of the wholesaler with his re-
tail store; nor should he consider him
a menace. Of course, a small town
will furnish only a certain amount of
trade, but there are so many of the
public who are not educated into flower
buying that our opportunities are prac-
tically unlimited, provided we push on
carefully and intelligently along the
proper lines. Find the right field and
then develop it, and it will work to the
advantage of aU. Every new store,
handled properly, makes new business
for itself as well as for competitors.
The Get-together Spirit.
Intelligent advertising is no doubt
one of the best business getters and it
not only gets business for its own store,
but for the others also. That is one
of the best reasons why the get-together
spirit should be encouraged and an ad-
vertising campaign pushed along in
every way possible.
Special sales are also a great help in
the retail trade. They are also a help
to the wholesaler. He can unload in
time? of gluts and the retailer reaches
new customers. Sooner or later their
taste for flowers will be cultivated and
they will want the flowers whether
there are special sales or not. The re-
sult is increased demand.
Why should we complain when the
department stores take up a refail
flower department! It is the same
thing over again. Every competitor is
making new trade and the result will
simply be that the public who are not
buyers at present will become buyers
part of the department store trade is
developing new customers.
Stock That Discourages Bujring.
We do not want a cut price cam-
paign, but a system of business where-
by a decent profit may be made; neith-
er do we want the stores which sell
unfit stock. Selling sleepy and unfit
stock will discourage buying and such
stock should not be handled at any
price.
Let all work together. Get together
and advertise. Persuade your custom-
ers to attend our exhibitions. Get them
acquainted with plants and flowers and
the names of the different varieties and
there will be many who will show new
interest, all to the profit of our pro-
fession. Assist the local flower shows,
and if the small towns have no shows,
start them. The public will fall right
in and help you. Help them by exhibit-
ing. We do not realize our possibili-
intensively as he might. He also ques-
tions whether or not the startin^f' of* a
downtown retail store would pay.
As The Eeview invites comment, I
will give a little of our experience.
Eight years ago this spring we bought
an old greenhouse establishment in a
town of 3,600 people. The best year's
business, previous to our taking charge,
was $2,000, which included a little out-
of-town trade to nearby towns. Within
two years we were obliged to rebuild,
which we did, putting up 10,300 feet
of glass at the edge of town. We also
started at that time a downtown retail
store. Last year we moved into a larger
store, to accommodate increasing
business. * '
Our last year 's business totaled a lit-
tle more than $6,600. From present in-
dications it will go close to $7,500 this
year. We consider that pretty good
for a town of 3,600, made up almost
entirely of that much derided class
known as ' ' retired farmers. ' '
Not every town of this size will sup-
port a downtown store, but certainly a
city of 10,000 will, if it is backed by
business ability, with lots of push and
hard work. L. B. Hill.

DO YOU OET WHAT'S DUE?
There has just come to my attention
an article published in The Review of
January 16, und€#ilAfe title, "Do You
Get What's Duel" The writer of the
article states that his sales run from
$10,000 to $12,000 per year in a town
oflOjOO^nhabitants, and he wonders
wBetnernels farraiug his territory as
attract the eye of the pedestrian is a
sales force in itfeelf, it must be backed
up by proper inside display. Usually
there are more possibilities offered for
working out of ideas for interior dis-
play than for window or sidewalk ar-
rangements. The photograph repro-
duced here shows a display window and
the new Buchbinder white enamel dis-
play refrigerator installed by Paul
Blome at his North Clark street retail
shop, Chicago. The refrigerator is so
placed that it is the first thing that
catches the eye of the prospective cus-
tomer when he enters. Its conetruction
affords a maximum of display, the idea

OLEVEB ADVEBTISINa.
The Philadelphia Eetail Florists' As-
sociation is conducting a publicity cam-
paign in one selected newspaper that,
viewed from every angle, spells splen-
did advertising. It is doubtfui if the
trade in any one city ever combined
before to educate the public to flower
spects, with terrasse floor and high
ceiling, and it is well lighted day and
night. The window platform of white
tile is 5 X 9. The ceiling of the win-
dow, finished in white paneled wood-
work, is equipped with subdued electric
lights to meet the maximum require-
ment. •
The. booth effect at the right of the
store's entrance is novel and useful, for
there the rest chairs and patrons' desks
are located. On the opposite side is
the large refrigerator. There is a base-
SIiow House of the New Woodward Flower Shop, Detroit, Mich.
buying along lines quite so broad, so
liberal and so convincing as the pub-
licity committee of the Philadelphia as-
sociation, of which Charles Henry Fox
is chairman.
Briefly, the plan is an intelligently
worded, attractively displayed daily ar-
gument in favor of flowers, their use,
importance, general need and the good
they do. It is an unsigned advertise-
ment, more of an editorial card than
an advertisement, in fact, and appears
from day to day in varying lengths, al-
ways one column wide and in the same
faces of type and border. The pub-
licity committee, after looking over the
field for the best medium in which to
reach the public with its daily dis-
course on flowers, selected the North
American, which is giving it a most at-
tractive display.
Mr. Fox has had some of the adver-
tisements reprinted in circular form
and has sent copies to the trade, sug-
gesting that they be cut out and pasted
in windows, or reprbduced on separate
sheets and enclosed with orders, letters
and bills. That the Philadelphia flo-
rists are desirous of letting others profit
by their material is evidenced by the
line Mr. Fox uses in his circular,
"Make these ads work for you."
NORMAN SULLIVAN'S NEW STOBE.
The most recent addition to Detroit's
numerous well-appointed flower stores
is that of the Woodward Flower Shop,
361 Woodward avenue, shown in the
accompanying illustrations. Norman
Sullivauj well known to the trade, is
the proprietor. The store is 20 x 65
feet and connects with a greenhouse,
20 X 85 feet. It {if modern in all re-
ment with concrete floor, provided with
departments for a large supply of boxes,
wire designs and florists' requisites.
The greenhouse has a center aisle five
feet wide between the display benches.
A 25-foot section in the rear is parti-
tioned off and used for automobile stor-
age and affords facilities for loading
and unloading under cover, a feature
particularly desirable* in cold weather.
The greenhouse is nine feet high to
the gutter plates, giving splendid op-
portunity for the future installation of
a fountain and rockery.
The business is situated in a new an,}
growing shopping district and gives
promise of rapid development.
BIME IT.
N. J. Wietor, the Chicago grower,
after reading last week's issue of The
Review, said that he approves the sug-
gestion made therein to feature
"bright" flowers for Mothers' day, but
that the couple of lines now used so
generally for advertising purposes
should be entirely rewritten, as fol-
lows:
For Mothers living, a flower bright,
For Mother's memory, a floWer white.
THE IDLEWILD IMPBOVEMENTS.
The illustrations on page 13 show
the new greenhouses and branch of-
fice of the Idlewild Greenhouses, at
Memphis, Tenn., together with the new
residence of W. H. Englehart, vice-
president and manager of the firm. T.
G. Owen is president of the Idlewild
Greenhouses.
In the exterior view, the new branch
office is shown in the foreground, con-
veniently connected with the new green-
houses, and to the right is seen the new
home of the manager. The interior
view shows the conservatory, with its
display of palms and Easter lilies at
Easter.
Speaking of the improvements, Mr.
Englehart said: "We are proud of
our new plant and think we have the
only greenhouses in this section of the
country. ' '
The main store of the Idlewild
Greenhouses is at 89 Main street, and
the branch store and greenhouses are
at the corner of East and East More-
land streets, Memphis.

TO FIX RESPONSIBILITY.
The Review frequently has called at-
tention to the difficulty often experi-
enced in fixing the responsibility for
loss wliere the instructions to the ex-
press companies, which should be on
evety shipment, are not sufficiently ex-
plicit. In the case of cut flower ship-
ments it is not enough to direct that
the shipper be notified "at once" if for
any reason the box cannot be delivered;
the courts have ruled that if the com-
pany acts within twelve hours it is "at
once ' ' and that often would mean a
total loss on a box of cut flowers.
E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
Chicago, has given much study to the
method by wMch the wholesale florist
can control th^ disposition of his goods
under all cases of inability to deliver or
to collect C. O. D. and says that the
express companies all have now recog-
nized that if the shipment bears a con-
spicuous notice in a certain form, here-
with quoted, the company has no de-
fense where the instructions are not
carried out. The notice recommended
is: "Notice to express companies:
Should consignee refuse to accept flow-
ers or pay C. O. D., wire us day mes-
sage at once at our expense." Mr.
Pieser recommends that this be printed
in a different colored ink than the rest
of the label and with a big index finger
pointing to it. -.
BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.
Boston, Mass. — James M. Petros, of
this city, and George F. Arnold, of
Winchester, Mass., formerly doing busi-
ness as Petros & Arnold, on Boylston

He has been suffering from nervous
prostration for some time and his busi
ness has been handled by Edward A.
Strauff as attorney, who was named as
trustee, his bond being fixed at $1,000.
Mr. Strauff states that the assets will
realize $3,000 if not disposed of at
forced sale, and the liabilities arc
about $2,000. Creditors pressing for
payment precipitated the assignment.

rAEITF WORK IN WASHINQTON.
Bepresenting the Society of American
Florists, as chairman of the tariff com-
mittee, Wm. F. Gude, of Washington,
has been taking up with senators the
proposed amendments to the tariff
gchedules affecting the trade. The
louse members were not seen because
;!hairman Underwood has refused to
consider amendments. Although repre-
sentations were made to him through
the mail by those interested, urging
changes in the schedule, Mr. Underwood
;old them that the bill was out of the
nrisdiction of his committee and be-
:ore Congress. As is generally known,
the chairman of a committee can pre-
sent amendments on the floor, but Mr.
Underwood is trying to rush the bill
through and is heedless of all sugges-
tions.
Mr. Gude, therefore, is concentrating
his attention on senators, and on sev-
eral occasions has taken up the matter
with Senators Simmons, of North Caro-
lina, chairman of the finance conunit-
tee; Smoot, of Utah, and Gallinger, of
New Hampshire. He told these sen-
:ators, in behalf of the horticultuml
trades of the country, that the language
in the schedule should be changed in
some respects as to imports of green-
house plants and nursery stock. He
pointed out that the bill as it stands is
obscure and likely to cause importers
trouble. He said that in one place
greenhouse stock was classified at
twenty-five per cent and in another at
fifteen per cent, and urged that the two
should be harmonized.
After seeing a number of the House
members, Mr. Gude said he had assur-
ances that there will be no change in
the House in the tariff. He hopes for
changes in the Senate, but to a limited
extent.
"The one idea of the leaders is to
rush the bill through, irrespective of
how it is framed," said Mr. Gude to
The Florists' Eeview correspondent.
"This is bad policy, but we are hope-
ful that the Senate will calmly consider
it and right the imperfections in the
House bill."
Mr. Gude has notified all florists and
horticulturists who have suggestions to
make as to changes in the tariff to send
them to him, and he will do all he can
to further their interests.
In his interviews with the senators,
Mr. Gude asked that the following
changes be made:
Paragraph 215 — After ' ' orchids,
palms and azaleas, ' ' insert * * Azalea In-
dica, " which is a greenhouse plant.
All other varieties of azaleas come un-
der section 216.
Paragraph 216 — Include Eosa rugosa,
which is the principal briar ros^. Strike
out "greenhouse stock" under this sec-
tion, which is fifteen per cent, while
under 215 it is twenty-five per cent.
J. C, Vaughan, chairman of the tariff
committee of the American Seed Trade
Association, offered to invite the chair-
man of the tariff committee of the
American Nurserymen's Association to
go to Washington to take up the horti-
cultural schedule for hearing, and Wil-
liam Pitkin, of Rochester, of the Ameri-
can Nurserymen's Association, offered
to go, but Mr. Gude told them it was
of no use, as the leaders would not
change the bill in any important detail,
and, being on the ground, he could at-
tend to the minor details. / "'' •

PLANT LEAVES DYINQ.
Kindly give us a remedy for the dry-
ing of leaves on geraniums and hydran-
geas. The disease started last Novem-
ber on Primula malacoides, and, despite
fumigation and spraying, seems to keep
spreading all over the bedding plants.
J. J. B.
If you are sure that no escaping coal
gas or other fumes are entering the
house, the most probable causes of your
leafes dying off are an insufficient wa-
ter supply and soil starvation. The
plants named are all of easy culture,
but need a fairly good soil; the hy-
drangeas require a generous compost.
I would advise you to discontinue the
spraying and apply more stimulants to
the plants in the form of liquid manure
or top-dressings of fine bone, or such
a chemical stimulant as Clay's fertil-
izer. Keep the house freely ventilated,
avoiding anything in the nature of a
damp, close, stagnant atmosphere.

CARNATIONS IN ENGLAND.
By a coincidence, April 10 and ll,
when American carnation growers were
assembled in New York,* their British
confreres of the Perpetual Flowering
Carnation Society were holding their
spring show at Leamington. In the
past all the shows of the society were
held in London. Now, however, with
additional power to its elbow and a
widening interest in carnations, the so-
ciety has decided to make the shows
migratory, and the first was held at
Leamington, in the land of Shakes-
peare, on the dates mentioned. The
first day was entirely satisfactory, but
the second day a snowstorm interfered
with the attendance of the public.
The entries were quite up to the
average of former shows. On this oc-
casion the champion, W. E. Wallace,
was not a competitor, but acted as one
of the judges.
In the group class for the American
cup there was a keen contest between
C. EngelmaniL of Saffron Walden, and
W. Wells & Cfo., Merstham, the former
securing the trophy, with a nicely bal-
anced exhibit, rich with brilliant colors
of some of his own varieties, such as
Sunstar, Elektra, Rosette, Lady North-
cliffe, British Triumph, etc.
The cup for American novelties went
to W. H. Page, Hampton, for Wash-
ington, White Wonder and Gloriosa.
The Brunton cup for British novelties
was awarded to C. Engelmann for
British Triumph, Lady Northcliflfe and
My Eose. On this occasion the floral
committee had little work, and its only
award was an award of merit to C.
Engelmann for Sunstar.
In the competitive classes for seven
vases of distinct varieties the premier
position was secured by C. Engelmann,
with Benora, Carola, My Bose, Lady
Northcliffe, Sunstar, Lady Meyer and
British Triumph; second, the Clury
Nurseries. For five vases of distinct
varieties W. H. Page triumphed with
Gloriosa, Salmon Britannia, Mrs. C. W.
Ward, White Wonder and Enchantress.
For three vases of distinct varieties the
chief honor went to H. T. Mason, who
put up Beacon, Gloriosa and White
Wonder. For one vase of fifty blooms
H. T. Mason won with Beacon; C. En-
Selmann, second, with Carola; Clury
furseries, third, with Mikado. The
silver gilt medal for the best vase in
the show went to a magnificent lot of
flowers of Lady Meyer, shown by. E.
Guile.
Large, non-competitive groups were
arranged by Stuart Low & Co., Bush
Hill Park; A. F. Dutton, Iyer, and C.
Engelmann, and each received a large
gold medal. Smaller groups were
staged by AUwood "TBros., Haywards
Heath, and Toung & Co., Cheltenham;
a gold medal was awarded to each.
Table decorations, bouquets, baskets
and other work were a feature v,of the
show, ^USt leading 4P6aor8 in ^mi secr
tion going to PerkJi^ ^^^Sons, Coven-
try; W. J. Garner, Hale, and W. Har-
per, Leamington. Bee.
SEVEN YEARS— son. UNCHANGED.
Several times comment has been made
in The Review with regard to the sys-
tem followed by N. Greivelding, of
Merrill, Wis., who grows his carnations
year after year in the same soil. Mr.
Greivelding writes:
"I send you a box of carnations and
a photograph of the house they are
growing in. These carnations are seven
• years in the same soil. I have a part
of a house in new soil and they are not
so good as those in the old soil. I am
not going to throw the old soil out so
long as the carnations are as they are
now. They did not get any feeding
since last fall, but we are giving them
some now as soon as we can get at it."
The photograph is reproduced here-
with. As to the cut blooms that accom-
panied it, they certainly were fine —
they stood on the editor's desk for
three days and nearly every visitor re-
marked on the excellence of the flow-
ers. But not many growers could be
made to believe that Mr. Greivelding
gets any better flowers than equally
good culture would give in fresh soil,
or that he cuts as many of them as he
would if he changed his soil as other
growers do. He uses ground beds.
A BEGINNER IN ALABAMA.
Please give a beginner, located in
central Alabama, a few points on the
growing of carnations. I am going to
grow Enchantress and White Enchant-
ress. I have one ground bench that is
4x46 feet, and two ground benches that
are each 5x46 feet. How many rows
can I put in each bench and how far
apart in the rows should the plants be
setf Should the plants be sprayed
daily after they have been benched
and should there be some shadiiig on
the glass until the plants get started f
Would five inches of soil be enough! i
shall appreciate any information you
may give me as to the care of the
plants after they have been benched.
H. A. C.
Central Alabama is rather far south
for growing carnations, and unless you
have had experience in growing them,
I would advise you to go into it rather
slowly until you can feel sure of your
ground. I would set five plants in a
row across a 4-foot bed and space, the
rows ten inches apart. Set seven plants
in a row across a 5-foot bed and .space
the rows twelve inches apart.
When the carnations are first planted
in from the field (I presume you are
intending to bench field-grown plants),
you will have to keep them sprayed
to prevent wilting until they have taken
hold in their new quarters. Just how
much spraying will be required will be
governed by prevailing conditions.
We spray as little as possible at all
times, and discontinue altogether as
soon as the plants are able to stand
up without it. We add only a little
shade to what is put on for any other
growing plant. We find that in this
latitude, central Indiana, a little shude
is beneficial to most plants during the
hottest part of the summer. Four
inches of soil is plenty; any more is
superfluous. A. F. J. B.
TO EXTERMINATE SPIDER.
I have been using the sugar and
arsenic mixture for spider, but have
trouble to keep the arsenic in suspen-
sion. Can you tell me whether arsen-
ate of lead could be used instead of
arsenic? In what manner does the
mixture affect the spider f I have just
tried some arsenate of lead and molas-
ses, in the hope that these will do the
work. I find them much easier to pre-
pare and I am inclined to think that
the molasses will not have a tendency
to crystallize like sugar.
Perhaps the readers of The Review
may be interested in knowing that con-

centrated lime-sulphur, about one part
to fifty parts of water, will prove ef-
fective against spider. It has the
serious objection, however, that it will
injure blooms, so its use is limited to
non-blooming plants, unless the blooms
are covered with paper or something
similar. C. P. B.
Not being the author of the formula
in question, I would hesitate in making
any changes in it. It was given to
me by a friend who received it from
another friend. We tried it thoroughly
and found it quite effective against
red spider. The molasses would per-
haps be as good as the sugar. Try it,
and if it works in the way you suggest
it will be an improvement on the
original formula. Arsenic is deadly to
nearly all kinds of animal life and
would be used a great deal more as an
insecticide if it were soluble in water.
It is hard to keep it mixed; in fact,
all you can do is to hold it in suspen-
sion by keeping it agitated while it is
being applied to the plants. When this
is not well done it will settle to the
bottom, which accounts for the burn-
ing of foliage, etc. A. F. J. B.
WHEN TO POLLENIZE.
1 should like to get some pointers
on the poUenizing or crossing of carna-
tions. I have been successful in pol-
lenizing gladioli and peonies, so I un-
derstand the mechanical part of the
operation, but I did not succeed in my
trials with the carnation. Should I an-
ticipate nature a few days and apply
the pollen before the flower is fully
expanded, or wait for the full-blown
flower! Any information you can give
tto will be thankfully received by me,
and perhaps by som other novices who
Would be willing to try what they can
Pioduee. J. M.
The time to pollenize carnations is
when the stigma has taken on a fuzzy
appearance. This takes place when
the bloom has reached its full develop-
•nent. Perhaps you selected varieties
for pollination which do not set seed
readilyj vatieties differ greatly in this
fespect. We have found it impossible
to set seed on some varieties, while on
others we succeed in oujy a percentfige
of attempts made. Por"^ that Hiidon,
when we are not sure of the varieties
we usually cross them both ways.
After a little experience you will soon
learn whiqh varieties will set seed and
which wiU not. A. F. J. B.
BENEWINQ OLD SOIL.
I should like to ask for some in-
formation, in regard to carnation soil.
In one of , my houses I have some soil
that was new last year. Would it be
advisable to take it out and mix, say,
one-half Qew sod soil and one-half of
the soil f]!om the carnation bench, add-
ing one-4giurth of cow manure, and use
the soil again this year for carnations f
7 C. H, M.
I woul4 advise you to use all new
soil for planting your carnations. If
you wan{ to use your old soil over
again, spif^ad it on the field, manure it
well and then plow it in with at least
its own quantity of new soil. Then
sow it dpwn to red clover and in a
couple of"; years it will be ready for
use again,
With some of us the soil question is a
considerable problem, but when you
consider thd returns ifffUttt a good crop
as compared with the returns from a
poor one, you will agree tBa,t you can
afford to spend a considerable amount
for cood soil, from which you can rea-
sonably expect a good crop. It never
pays to use soil which is known to be
of poor quality. A. F. J. B.
FLOBEX GARDENS CARNATIONS.
The photographs from which the ac-
companying illustrations were prepared
were taken March 19 in the big carna-
tion house, 150x475 feet, at Florex Gar-
dens, North Wales, Pa. There are 68,-
000 carnation plants, all growing in
solid beds. The varieties grown are
White Star, a seedling raised on the
place; White Enchantress, Enchantress,
Euth, another seedling; Beacon, and
two others. Buth is said to be the
best paying variety. It is more free
blooming than any ol the others and
the flowers are borne on better stems.
Eighteen buds and blooms were counted
on one plant at the same time.
The end of the house is planted with
snapdragon, which has been blooming
freely. Phil.

You will find some young carnation
plants enclosed. Please tell me what
the trouble is, how it was caused and
what measures should be taken to eradi-
cate it. Is the disease hereditary! Will
it have any effect on the flowers when
they begin to bloom? H. H.
The cuttings forwarded are covered
with fairy-riflg': 6gato» y^his is not a
hereditary disease, * but is caused in
much the same way as all the leaf-spot
diseases. Too much dampness on the
foliage usually brings it on. Spray the
plants with Bordeaux Mixture, after
picking off all you can. Dusting with
Grape Dust will also help.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.
Miltonias.
Plants of Miltonia vexillaria will now
have flower spikes pushing above the
leaves and the earliest ones should be
opening about the last part of March.
Never mind the leaves taking on a
ruddy hue; this wi^ harden them and
put them in a better condition to stand
the hot summer months. No shade
should yet be required for them. A
night temperature of 55 to 58 degrees
will be found about right.
Thrips is the arch enemy of this mil-
tonia and to keep the foliage clean the
plants should be sponged with or dipped
in tobacco water.
A rather more abundant water sup-
ply will now be necessary, but avoid
spraying the plants overhead. About
the middle of April it will be better to
move the plants into ^ somewhat cooler
house, where they will be shaded from
direct sunshine.
Calantbes.
It is time to start the bulbs of those
beautiful winter-flowering orchids, the
calanthes, in flats of sand. You will
note the new growths starting from the
base of the old bulbs. Do not cover
these much, and water only moderately,
or decay will set in. Pot the bulbs
while the roots are quite short. As a
rule, they can be held suflSciently by
the compost, but with long bulbs it is
always better to support them until
they have rooted well into the compost.
Drain the pots. w^l and use a compost
of three parts flbrous loam, with the
fine particles shaken out, and one part
dried cow manure, also adding some
coarse sand and broken charcoal. Large
bulbs of C. Veitchii and C. Regnieri
will each require a 6-inch pot; more
moderate sized ones, 5-inch, and smaller
ones can go three in a pot. Give the
plants a minimum temperature of 65
degrees.
PhaioB.
This is the season when most of the
terrestrial orchids are pushing up their
flower stalks, and the old but ever use-
ful Phaius grandifolius is already in
flower. Give the plants a night tem-
perature of 60 degrees, a good water
supply and weak. cow manure water to
strengthen the flo^wer spikes. In repot-
ting any.ofttl^e pjants after flowering,
use a similar , compost to that advised
for calanthes. The, phaius, being morel
roUust growing, require larger pots than
calanthes, ' bi)t <th'ey want . much cooler
treatment^ through^ the growing . season.
V ^. ^Odontoglosstuns.
At this season there, are mo^e spikes
on the odontoglossums than at any
other, O. crispum, O. Harryanum, O.
Pescatorei and others all being in
bloom. Give the plants full sun for
some time longer to redden up the
leaves. This will make them tough and
better able to withstand the summer
heat. All the odontoglossums now en-
joy a good supply of water at the roots.
O. citrosmum, which has been kept dry
for some time, is now showing its flower
spikes and water can be applied more
freely. An oversupply before the
spikes show, often causes a failure
to flower at all. As the spikes
of this odontoglossum are of a
drooping nature, the plants are best
grown in pans or baskets, suspended
from the roof. A temperature at night
of 55 degrees is ample for them. All
the odontoglossums are benefited by a
spraying over on bright days. Protect
the flower spikes by wrapping cotton.
wool around the bases. Snails Which
come in sphagnum moss are destTuctive
to them. For this reason it is safer aot
to use any moss for odontoglossumjs and
oncidiums, the spikes of these two
species being more relished by sntiilg
than those of any other orchids.
SPOT. DISEASE OF VINCAS.
Can you tell me what is the trouble
with my vincas? The leaves become
covered with black specks and then fall
off. I am enclosing a sample of the
leaves. M. H. W.
Pick off the affected foliage. Cut
out the worst shoots entirely. If any
plants are badly attacked, cut them
down. I have known of extreme cases
where it was necessary to shake away
all the soil, cut back the plants and
repot in fresh soil in order to shake
off this spot trouble. If you have not
used any Bordeaux mixture, try an ap-
plication of this on your plants. A sec-
ond spraying can be given if the first
does not stop the spot. Keep the fo-
liage as dry as you can in the mean-
time. C. W.

THE MINNEAPOLIS FLOBISTS.
Floriculture in Minneapolis is nearly
as old as the city itself. In 1857 Dr.
Alfred E. Ames, uncle of the famous
Dr. A. A. Ames, instructed his brother,
then a consul in Hamburg, Germany,
to send him a gardener. Wm. Bucken-
dorf was engaged and came to Minne-
apolis. He, therefore, was the first
florist. A year later they built two
neat greenhouses on Eighth avenue
south, between Fourth and Fifth
streets. For several years these green-
houses were kept for private use only,
when Mr. Buckendorf decided to op-
erate them for commercial purposes.
In 1866 Mr. Buckendorf built a green-
house on his own property. Fourth
street and Seventh avenue south. This
ground was sold for building purposes
and in 1890 Mr. Buckendorf built
another house on Fourth avenue south
and Seventeenth street, which was dis-
continued in 1900.
In 1862 Wyman Elliott, having a
large nurspry on Park avenue, buUt two
greenhouses where Elliot park is today.
•In 18^. E. J. Mendenhall decided to
have a few small greenhouses for his
private use. He engaged Henry Buck-
endorf, a brother of William Bucken-
dorf. They began in a small way and
kept enlarging until the plant was one
of the foremost in the country. This
was located on Nicollet avenue and
Eighteenth street south. First avenue
was not opened up at that time. After
this plant covered a city block and
some space across the street, another
one was started at Twenty-eighth ave-
nue south and Thirty-eighth street. Id
1903 Mr. Mendenhall sold out to L. S.
Donaldson, and one year later the
greenhouses were torn down.
About the same year Mr. Mendenhall
started, George Brackett built a green-
house where the city hospital is now
located. This was operated a few
years by Mr. Brackett, with Mr. Boo^e
as florist, and later Mr. Kilvington. In
1883 Mr. Kilvington built a greenhouse
near Lakewood cemetery, which hiis
been dismantled for many years. In
1880 Mr. White started the establisli-
ment on Twenty-second avenue and
Garfield street northeast, which now
belongs to 0. H. Carlson. Mr. White
had a nursery, a dairy and one small
greenhouse. This was jpurchased in

The Florists' Review
Greenhouses of Warren G. Matthews, Dayton, O., Probably the Heaviest Loser in the Recent Flood.
MATTHEWS FLOOD BUINS.
The accompanying illustration shows
the ruins of Warren G. Matthews'
greenhouses at Dayton, 0., following
the disastrous flood of March 25. Mr.
Matthews was the heaviest loser in
Dayton, his stores and residence, as
well as his greenhouses, being damaged.
The loss on his property and stock, it
was estimated, amounted to $30,000.
Mr. Matthews and his family narrowly
escaped with their lives, and for some
days following the flood he was in a
critical condition as a result of the
shock.
MOLES AND CUTWORMS.
This spring I am confronted with
two afflictions new to me. One is the
mole, which has established several
underground routes to his satisfaction,
but to my discomfort.
In digging up a section of the lawn
in which I set out some bedding plants
I encountered cutworms, looking hun-
gry and greedy. Can you give me any
practical suggestions in the line of
eliminating these pests! And can you
satisfactorily explain why weeds, more
especially the particularly noxious kind,
by some dispensation of Providence
are immune from disease! Could it be
connected with that apple transaction
at a remote period in the garden, and
was it intended to provide a generous
supply of sweat for the brow if other
avenues failed to give sufficient oppor-
tunities? W. A. S.
To get rid of moles, the best plan is
to secure one or two special mole traps,
"f which I have found the Eeddick to
'"^ the best. Set these right in their
'uns and they cannot pass through them
without being caught. Poisoned bait
lias be6n tried successfully in some
'•ases, but I think you will find traps
the most eflfectual.
Cutworms do a great deal of damage
'iinually. The use of lime and soot
'II the soil is distasteful to them, but,
low that you have them, there are sev-
ral ways of fighting them. Cutworms
■tre nocturnal workers, and if you have
'»nly a few plants, by digging away a
little soil with the hand around the
'^tems of the plants you will find them
v'urled up there and can destroy them.
Poisoned mash made of fresh shorts
(bran), sweetened with molasses, moist-
ened with water and sprinkled with '
Paris green until it ^hows a light
green tinge, laid about their haunts in
the evening, will be eagerly devoured.
Another plan is to lay shingles or rhu-
barb leaves among the plants in the
evening. The cutworms, or many of
them, will crawl under these instead
of burying themselves in the soil dur-
ing the day, and can thus be picked up
and destroyed.
All weeds are not free from disease,
but it is a distressing fact that about
all the more noxious ones seem to be
practically disease-proof. Whether
Providence so ordained it after the
apple theft you refer to, I am unable
to state, but it is certainly a fact that
between insects, diseases and weeds, to
mention no other sources of discom-
fort, the tiller of the soil has ample
opportunities to keep busy.
On further considering your query
relative to cutworms, I think that prob-
ably what you found in the lawn were
not the true cutworms, which are dark
in color, but the larvae of the June bug
or May beetle. These are larger than
cutworms, have dark heads and light
bodies and are usually found curled up.
They live on roots of grass and other
herbage, but will also eat roots from
many other plants. They do not come
to the surface, as do the true cutworms.
Turn up thie aflfect'ed ground and let
the birds make a feast on the grubs.
Lime the soil well. Carbon bisulphide
will destroy them without digging up
the ground. Bore holes six inches deep
and twelve to eighteen inches apart
each way. Pour in half a teaspoonful
of the carbon, cover the holes with
earth and the fumes will penetrate and
destroy the grubs. Heavy rolling and
pounding of the soil will also kill a
large number. C. W.

Asters.
The earliest aster plants should now
be gradually hardened off, and they
can be planted in the field from the be-
ginning to the middle of May, ac-
cording to location. Land which has
been liberally manured and kept well
harrowed right up to planting time,
and which is persistently cultivated,
should grow good asters. Light soil
can be improved by using cow manure
freely. Heavy land, if treated before
plowing with a surfacing of road grit,
fine coal ashes, sand or similar mate-
rial, in addition to some lighter ma-
nure, such as horse manure and de-
cayed leaves, will be put in an
improved mechanical condition for
asters. Of course, they need an
ot)eri, sunny spot. Bottom lands, which
are naturally moist in a dry summer,
are suitable if we are fairly sure the
land will not become sodden, as often
happens even in summer. It is sur-
prising what fine asters can be grown
even in a light, sandy soil, if
plenty of humus has been added and
the cultivator is kept constantly at
work all the growing season.
This is a suitable time to make suc-
cession sowings of asters in a cold-
frame or even outdoors. There is far
less liability of plants developing stem-
rot and yellows if the seed is sown out-
doors.
Memorial Day Crops.
Memorial ■ day, the great harvest
time of the ye*,i^foT many country
florists, will soon be here. In volume

many, for it is a time when practically
all flowers sell, and the florist who
grows the material needed for bou-
quets and designs is the one who will
make money, and not the one whose
crops are too early or late and who is
compelled to pay Memorial day prices
in wholesale markets for his flowers.
Such crops as ten weeks ' stocks, can-
dytuft and double feverfew, if they
can be timed right, net excellent
money. They are worth little at any
other time, however, than Memorial
day. Therefore, every possible atten-
tion should be given them. An ample
water supply, freedom from insects,
plenty of fresh air and full sunshine
are essentials to their successful cul-
ture. Keep the surface soil stirred
and do not give weeds any quarter.
The crops may .have to be retarded by
shading the glass, or pushed a little,
according to the season. Spanish iris,
Gladiolus nanus and the big-flowered
varieties, such as America, Brench-
leyensis, Augusta, etc., can be kept for
some days in a cut state in a cold cel-
lar. These crops are all valuable and
it is not easy to say offhand how they
should be treated now. The weather is
always a potent factor, but with cool
houses, kept shaded and freely aired,
and with cool cellars, even the vaga-
ries of climate can be to a large ex-
tent offset.
Spira>a .laponica comes in quickly
and if half grown now should be in
on time. Gladstone and compacta
need a week or more longer, and that
beautiful pink variety, Queen Alex-
andra, still more. The last named
brings fancy prices for Memorial day.
It is important to remember not to
force it too hard and to be sure to
shade the plants when the flowers are
opening, or they will speedily lose their
beautiful peach-pink color. Lilium
longiflorum, if it is now showing buds,
will be in good season. If buds are
not yet appearing, the plants must
have more heat.
OBITUARY.
Frank T. Emerson.
Frank Thayer Emerson, who became
personally known to practically all the
seedsmen of the United States during
the years he was manager for the West-
ern Seed & Irrigation Co., died at Mer-
cedes, Tex., April 23. Although it bad
been known that he was likely to go
at any time, the announcement of his
death came unexpectedly, as the last
letters had spoken of some improve-
ment, which evidently was only tempo-
rary.
Mr. Emerson, who was a native of
Boston, spent his whole life in the seed
business. His father, Joseph Homer
Emerson, for a number of years was
with the Ames Plow Co., in Boston, but
later went into the seed business.
Leaving Boston, the son went to New
York, later to Fremont, Neb., where he
and his brothers established one of the
important industries of that section un-
der the corporate name of the West-
ern Seed & Irrigation Co. For some
years Frank T. Emerson was manager.
The business was established in 1887
and incorporated in 1894. The present
ofl5cers are: Lowell Emerson, president
and treasurer; William Emerson, vice-
piesideBt and manB§ar. Leaviag Fre-
mMit, P^ank T. Emerson spent some
tilne in California, eventually locating
at Mercedes, Tex., where he continued
the seed business, first as a retailer and
later as a wholesaler. He is survived
by his wife, Mrs. Fannie W. (Hildreth)
Emerson, and three children, Mrs. Wil-
liam Evans, of Framingham; Mrs. H.
Grey Coy, of Waterloo, Neb., and
Samuel H. Emerson, of Mercedes, Tex.
His mother, Mrs. J. Homer Emerson,
resides in Roxbury, Mass. Mrs. Emer-
son and son, Sam, accompd&ied the re-
mains to Boston for interment in the
family plot.
Mrs. August Dresel.
Mrs. August Dresel, widow of a
prominent Chicago and Crown Point
florist, whose death took place about
nine months ago, passed away at the
home of her son-in-law, Samuel Pearce,
2137 Clybourn avenue, Chicago, April
26. Apoplexy was the cause and she
was suffered to live only a few hours
after the stroke took place. Born in
Copenhagen, Denmark, July 6, 1838,
she was 74 years 9 months old at the
time of her death. Moving to this
country while quite young, she married
August Dresel and for torty-eight years
was a resident of Chicago. Five chil-
dren survive: August Dresel, Jr., is
a florist and a business associate of
Samuel J. Pearce, the husband of one
of the daughters; Henry is a florist
and foreman for the Metairie Ridge
Nurseries, New Orleans, La., while
Lewis is a bank auditor at Detroit.
The burial took place April 30 at Wun-
ders cemetery, many Chicago florists
being in attendance.

E. H. Bauer, head of the firm of E.
H. Bauer & Son, of Chesilhurst, N. J.,
died April 26. His death is recorded in
the Philadelphia correspondence this
week.
H. W. Blowers.
Harry Winfield Blowers, aged 55
years and in the nursery business at
Westfield, N. Y., died April 20 at the
State hospital at Gowanda, N. Y.,
where he had been ill since April 4.
Mr. Blowers was born at Cuba, N. Y.,
August 24, 1858. He graduated from
the Westfield Academy and Union
School in 1879, afterwards working at
Fredonia, N. Y., for T. S. Hubbard,
whose nursery business is now con-
ducted as the T. S. Hubbard Co. Later
he embarked in the nursery business
for himself, also handling a side line
of bicycles. Recently he disposed of
the bicycle end of the business and de-
voted all of his time to raising grape
roots and propagating Blowers' black-
berry, which he discovered and placed
on the market. He married Miss Ber-
tha Burch, at Erie, Pa., December 8,
1891. She survives him, together with
two daughters. Misses Marian and
Jessie Blowers. He is also survived by
one brother, Roy S. Blowers, and one
sister, Mrs. Jennie B. Dann. Mr.
Blowers made his home at Portland,
Nr'Y.
Henry Eicke.
Henry Eicke, aged 47 years, recently
with Vaughan's Seed Store and for-
merly with Stumpp & Walter Co., O. V.
Zangen and F. E. McAllister & CO., all
of New York, died April 10 at Christ
hospital, Jersey City, N. J., as the re-
sult of a complication of diseases. He
left a widow and thcae children. Mr.
Eicke was well known in the trade.
His experience covers a period of more
than thirty years. He was of a genial
nature and had many friends in and
around New York.

The Market.
I
The business for last week showed
an increase over that of the previous
week. There has been a steady in-
crease of trade since Easter. The ide-
mand is about equal to the supply,
except in carnations, which are being
cut heavily, and some of the dry go6ds
stores are still offering them in spedial
Saturday sales. Roses are fine and are
easily disposed of. Killarneys take
the lead, with Richmonds second, and
they sell as high as $3 per dozen. Roses
are in excellent condition, on account
of the cool weather, which leaves them
with a good color. Sweet peas are
being cut in large quantities and the
quality is fine. Snapdragons are being
heavily cut, but the trade seems to dis-
pose of them all. There is little bulb-
ous stock left anywhere. Bedding
stock is being sold at a lively clip for
so early in the season.
Various Notes.
J. Tobler has been exceedingly busy
during the last four weeks, planting
shrubbery, and he says business has in-
creased a great deal along that line.
The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had an
exceptionally good week's business,
decorating tables for different func-
tions. The firm also reports a heavy
cut of carnations and roses in the last
two weeks.
Biedermann & Son report that the
spring bedding stock is selling much
earlier this year than last and that
they have already sent out a great
many porch boxes.
R. S. Brown & Son say that business
with them is exceptionally good; they
are almost too busy to eat. They also
report that spring bedding stock is go-
ing fast.
Charles Laundy has his place looking
extra attractive and he says he is
ready for the spring rush, which he
expects to show an increase of twenty-
five per cent this year.
Henry Kusik went to Chicago last
week to buy cut flowers and supplies
to fill out his orders, as his stock of
supplies is inadequate. He contem-
plates making more room, in order to
keep a larger stock.
Arthur Newell reports that he has
been extremely busy all the week with
funeral work and that business has
increased a great deal over that of
two weeks ago.
Across the state line, business in gen
eral is as good as could be expecte<<
and has increased steadily since
Easter.
E. H. Frandsen & Co. have planted
their summer-blooming roses in benches
and the plants look quite promising.
The Geo. M. Kellogoj Cut Flower &
Plant Co. reports that out-of-town
funeral work was exceptionally heavy
last week and that their stock of cul
flowers has just come into crop again
The Alpha Floral Co. put out a sug
gestive letter head for Mothers ' day
Around the edge of each sheet were
printed the faces of mothers, twelve
in number. He thought that, as an ad
vertisement, it would much more than
pay the expense; • '^'-

The Market.
A spell of warm weather has brought
on an enormous quantity of flowers of
all kinds. Boses, carnations, violets,
daffodils and sweet peas are all abun-
dant and in some cases the prices have
dropped almost one-half. The sale of
seeds, shrubs and outdoor plants, such
as pansies and hardy herbaceous stock,
has been greatly increased. Boxwood
trees are selling now.
All vegetation is advancing fast.
Forsythias, magnolias and outdoor bulb-
ous stock are in full bloom. Violets are
still plentiful, but the quality is get-
ting poorer right along. Most of the
single violets are raised outdoors in
coldf rames and, the color is good. Car-
nations are getting somewhat smaller
and the supply is falling off to a marked
degree. Yellow marguerites and snap-
dragons continue to come into the mar-
ket in great quantities. Sweet peas are
plentiful and are cheaper now. The
quality is nothing extra. A few Spen-
cer peas from Boston, however, have
come to this market and they are extra
fine, with unusually long stems. Daf-
fodils are almost a drug on the market;
needless to say, the price is low. A
few of the florists here are handling
trailing arbutus, but it does not pay,
as there are but few calls for it and
it does not keep well.
In flowering plants there is scarcely
anything to be had except a few ram-
blers, potted deutzias, Dutch hyacinths
and geraniums.
Various Notes.
The Flower Mart reports that busi-
ness is increasing each week. The firm
had a good window display of Dutch
hyacinths recently.
The growers at M. Aitken's green-
houses in Agawam attended the open-
ing performance of the Broadway the-
ater on Monday evening, April 21, and
had an exceptionally good time. It
was the first function of this kind
the growers had attended in a body.
G. J. Herrick is producing extra fine
candytuft.
Carnation day will be publicly ob-
served here on Saturday, May 10.
White-robed girls will stand at the
busiest street corners, selling the flow-
ers to passers-by. The procee4»t ot, th«
sales willt be used for the bene^t oi
needy girls of the city, who are helped
by the People's Institute.
Mrs. E. B. Beals is beginning to reap
the benefits of her four years' labor
with two carnation seedlings. One is
a cross between a white and a sport of
Prosperity; the other is a sport of
Thomas Lawson. They are still un-
named, but are numbered 7 and 35, re-
spectively. A bench sixty feet long,
containing 400 plants, is at present in
fine condition for cutting.
Circulars containing the history of
the origin of the new rose, Milady,
have reached this city. These circu-
lars were distributed by A. N. Pierson,
Inc., of Cromwell, Conn., and in glow-
ing colors tell the history of their
newest rose.
Calceolarias of beautiful and varied
colors are jhown in the display window
of i\. F. Higgins, on State street. They
are quite unusual in the stores of this
city.
Jack Morse went to Pittsfield, Mass.,
April 20, to do some special work for
the funeral of Mr. Manihan, proprietor
of the Wendell hotel.
M. Aitken and Wm. Schlatter & Son
were the only florists who closed one-
half day on Patriots' day, April 19.
The Everett Forestry Co. is cutting
down the dead trees on the streets in
Long Meadow.
Because of the warm weather and
showers, fruit trees are in full bloom
in Ware, Mass. Fruit trees that usually
bloom about May 10 are in full blossom
at this writing and it is feared that
heavy frosts will come while the trees
are in bloom or the fruit is beginning
to set.
The genial Eobert Shoch, of M. Rice
Co., called on the trade last week. He
reports that he likes married life.

A WINDOW DECORATION.
Philip Freud arranged a taking and
most seasonable window for the Henry
F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, that is
attracting attention. The Caldwell lawn
mower is the feature of the window.
There are three «f the machines in posi-
tion, ready to trim the delicate green-
sward. In the center of the window,
in the place of honor, is Helen Michell,
the new geranium cross between Al-
phonse Bicard and, I think, Jean Viand.
You know, Helen Michell is so strong
a winner that her debut has been post-
poned until 1914, so that anywhere near
enough plants can be propagated. All
around in convenient positions are what
may be described »A the. etcetera of the
garden tools — the pruning shears and
everything else jou^can possibly need,
with a few that you never needed be-
fore but will as 30on as you see that

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.
The general strike in Belgium was of
short duration; it was settled April 25
and horticultural shipments, which have
been interrupted for a fortnight, will now
go forward aa usual.
A SOUVENIR postal from B. Eschner,
from Eisenach, Germany, says that he
and Mrs. Eschner are thoroughly enjoy-
ing their maiden trip to the supply cen-
ters of the Old World.
Once more let it be said that anony-
mous inquiries go into the waste basket.
If any reader will sign his full name and
address, The Review will do its best to
answer his inquiry.
If F. Zimmer, Philadelphia, who is not
a subscriber to The Review, sees this
note and will send his street address his
inquiry as to the names of plants will be
answered by mail.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.
The recent advance in the popularity
of the antirrhinum as a cut flower i's
something remarkable, scarcely less than
the progress noted a few seasons ago in
the gladiolus and the sweet pea.
When the new tariff bill came back to
Congress last week, from the Democratic
caucus, it was unchanged in the para-
graphs relating to horticultural commod-
ities. All the ambiguities and conflicting
rates remain.
The New York World, in its magazine
section, April 20, Sunday, gave A. N.
PJerson's Milady a full page in colors.
It was one of the results of the National
Flower Show and W. R. Pierson, who
supplied the material during show week,
feels that it is the finest advertisement a
n^w variety ever had and sure to result in
a wide demand for it on the part of the
general public.
According to Bailey's Cyclopedia, a
double spathed calla is not an unusual
occurrence and the frequence with which
these blooms, or photographs of them,
arrive at The Review oflBce bears out
Bailey's statement; but every time a
florist discovers one of these freaks he
appears to think it the rarest curiosity,
so apparently they are not so common
aftM all.
Because of the nature of the florists'
business, the promptness MBth which bills
are met perhaps is of greater importance
than it is in lines of ordinary manu'fac-
4,rae and merchandiaiM. The slow-pay
man hardly ever stands wholly still: he
either sHbws some improvement or else
he gets slower and slower. And in the
•latter case; when the crash comes there
seldom is much left for those who did not
watch their collections. .».■—«
SPENDING OOOD MONEY.
Not every florist has yet got to tlie !
point where he applies the same ruhs
to buying advertising that he applies
to buying other things necessary to tlie
business — a good many still buy bi;-
cause the solicitor is a mighty nice fel-
low (he has to be to get away with
some of the propositions he puts upi,
but an increasing number of advertisers
are asking for exact information about
circulation and are examining the meth-
ods by which subscribers and advertise-
ments are obtained; they are learninj^
that circulation counts, and that
to the advertiser circulation ob-
tained by mail on the merit of the pub-
lication is vastly more valuable than

The Great Central Market.
A tendency to shorten up is apparent
in the market and for the last week
there has been, in most lines, only
enough stock to go around without
causing the wholesalers any great
amount of trouble in filling orders.
The last two weeks have been ideal
for the growers, for the weather has
been bright and cool and the usual
spring glut that comes on the market
at about this time every year is not
in evidence, greatly to the gratifica-
tion of both grower and wholesaler.
Generally speaking, the market for the
last two weeks of April was about as
firm as it could be expected to be at
this season of the year and it aided
materially in bringing the month to a
close with about the usual run of busi
ness even though the floods retarded
business at the start.
Carnations have become excellent
property. The reports show that the
crops are hardly expected to last un-
til after Mothers' day and there is
some speculation as to the available
supply. Present indications are that
there should be a lively market on
white, for the growers do not hold out
any encouragement of any great sup-
ply. Of the colored stock there is*
not expected to be any shortage, for the
demand on these is not so brisk. At
present there are enough to go around
and yet good prices are being obtained
for the really select stock, white or
colored. Roses are in better supply
than carnations, with the exception of
American Beauties, the greater part
of these having been cut. Long-stem-
med Beauties are short of the demand
and shippers are not able to execute
all the orders. Killarneys, Rich-
mond and Maryland have been cut in
just about large enough numbers to
maintain a fair price and there is lit-
tle i«*'*M«^'*ray»'*M' a' s*tpkis at this ^
-writing. Mrs. Aaron Ward is in ape-

CARNATIONS
FOR MOTHERS* DAY
E CAN supply the snoods. Why not send your order to us today and 8:0 ahead with
your plans for selling? Mothers' Day was a big day last year (some day it will
be one of our busiest flower days), but there are two things to attend to: you
must insure your supply, and you must adver-
tise— Mothers' Day is too new a flower day to
have the trade come to you without your advertising for it.
To get the stock is easy — all you have to do is to order
of us. We have a big supply of fancy Carnations and for
advance orders we offer
. $40.00 per 1000

Something Your Trade Will LHie
Any retailer who has a call for out-of-the-ordinary work should use our
Snapdragon. When this stock is used by a man who knows how, it never
fails to make a hit. Long stems, beautifully flowered. Can supply other
colors, but are especially strong on pink, the true EiUarney shade. It works
up splendidly. Put a vase of it in your show window and listen to the com-
ments. It will sell.
FANCY ROSES
Our Stock Has a National Reputation
To be known as handling Amling's Roses means that your store has the
reputation of handling the best quality stock You will find also that our
Roses carry larger and finer heads, length for length of stem, than any you
have had from other sources. We have a full line. Special attention should
be called to our Mrs. Ward. There is no other Rose in such strong demand.
We have the largest supply to be found anywhere in America.
SWEET PEAS
You Need Thorn for Corsage Work
This is the time of year when you can do a fine corsage business with
our fancy, long-stemmed sweet peas. We have long-stemmed sweet peas
in very large quantity— can fiU orders for thousands. The longest stemm^,
brightest colored, special fancy Blanche Ferry and the popular Butterfly
( Spencer) peas in all colors.

cial demand and the supply is not over-
abundant. The same is true of all
the yellow roses^ as- well as Mrs. Taf t.
Snapdragon is much in evidence and
some excellent 8t<}ck is being moved
off without much trouble. Sweet peas
have been the greatest problem. Early
last week there was a serious oversup-
ply, but the market improved with
some reduction of receipts at the close
of the week. At the opening of the
present week, however, warm, bright
weather again increased supply and
lowered prices. Valley is still finding
the usual spring demand. Violets are
at last done for this season, although
a few were seen as late as April 26.
Smilax is scarce. Ferns are stiffening
a little in price.
Various Notes.
Frank Johnson, of the A, L. Randall
Co., says that the addition to the floor
space made this week by taking the
basement is 8,000 square feet. Four
fl3or8 and the basement now are occu-
pied. Frank Pasternick joined the sales
force of the Randall establishment April
22.
Frank Oechslin is in New York, vis-
iting relatives and noting what is new
among the plantsmen.
Peter Reinberg began planting car-
nations in the field April 24, rather
earlier than most of the growers thought
it safe to begin.
Two meetings of the creditors of Gan-
ger & Bergman have been held in the
last few days. At the last one it was
stated that enough cash already had
been realized from the book accounts
so that a payment can be made to the
creditors without delay.
Poehlmann Bros. Co., which held a
lease on the old store formerly occu-
pied at 30 East Randolph street, moved
the big ice-boxes and fixtures to Morton
Grove this week, the lease expiring
May 1.
Lubliner & Trinz now are in tem-
porary quarters at 29 West Washing-
ton street. They held out on Ran-
dolph street till the last day of their
lease.
E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
is keeping bachelor's hall, Mrs. Pieser
having gone to PTiiladelphia to try a
new sanitarium.
At Winterson's Seed Store retail seed
and plant trade is breaking all records
this week.
A. T. Pyfer says he expects to see
Mothers' day show another big increase
this year.
A dinner was held April 24, at the
Union, to which all the chairmen of
S. A. F. convention committees were
invited and at whioh all the details -were
cleaned up and a final dividend ordered
paid to those who had contributed to
the fund for the entertainment of the
convention last August. Treasurer N.
J. Wietor is this week sending the con-
tributors checks for forty per cent of
the sum paid in. After this is done
there will be a balance of a few dollars
that was ordered turned over to the
Chicago Florists' Club.
Adam Zender was at Milwaukee April
25 to attend a directors' meeting of
the Holton & Hunkel Co., which is
building again this year.
John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., spent a day at Crown Point, Ind.,
last week, the guest of Alois Frey,
antirrhinum specialist. Mr. Michelsen
says Mr. Frey has a number of good
seedlings, but that two are so excep-
tionally fine that he looks to see them
make a big hit. One is about the color
of Bulgarie rose, the other about lik^
a well colored Killarney Queen, and
they each produce spikes of bloom a
foot and a half long on stems as thick
as one's finger.
The E. Wienhoeber Co. has made a
rather large advertising contract with
the Tribune. The first advertisement
appeared April 26. Quality will be

business connected with the new range
of the Helton & Hunkel Co.
George Wienhoeber says that on the
<lay of the advertised special Beauty
Bale, April 24, the Fleischman Floral
Co. sold 1,300 long Beauties. It is un-
derstood the stock was picked up in
four wholesale houses.
Wietor Bros., who never let their
*<heds stand empty, last week made a
contract for 6,000 tons of Pocahontas
'oal, as much as possible of which is
^0 be put in at once.
Bert R. Lucas, who has charge of the
Kldredge greenhouses at Belvidere, last
week sent C. W. McKellar three of the
strangest carnation blooms one is likely
to meet. They were of enormous size
and looked mere like peonies than car-
nations. In the center of each flower
another perfect flower was superim-
posed, set so far down as to give no
hint of the malformation. Mr. Mc-
Kellar kept the blooms for several days
and few of those who examined them
would believe that it was the work
of nature and not of a skillful man.
Last week Peter Reinberg placed a
contract for 8,000 tons of Pocahontas
as a part of next season's coal supply.
Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell
Bros. Co., reached home April 27, from
his trip to New York, whifeh originally
was to the National Flower Show. He
says that he has sold boilers for 199,-
600 square feet of glass on this expedi-
tion.
Mrs. Ida Gelderman, mother of F. H.
Gelderman, of L. Baumann & Co., left
for Altadena, Cal., April 24, to visit the
family of L. Baumann. L. Baumann
and family have been on the Pacific
coast all winter and there is no indi-
cation, at this time, that an early re-
turn will be made.
The Eaedlein Basket Co. recently has
received some large shipments of bas-
kets from the factories in Germany, in-
tended for the fall trade.
Sam Pearce states that he has not yet
closed any arrangement for a new busi-
ness location and that in any event
he will be at the old stand till Octo-

Oscar Leistner reports a heavy de-
mand for natural prepared oak wreaths
for the Decoration day trade. "Our
sales have shown a large increase over
last year," he says.

ip ver for this year. The retailers surely
had no complaint to make in regard
to the supply and prices, especially
those who bought in big lots.
' Roses were received in large con-
signments at all of the wholesale
houses, and in all varieties. Long
Beauties were quite plentiful, with the
price at $4 per dozen for the best.
Other roses sold well, but the demand
was not enough to consume the supply.
All the standard varieties, such as
Richmond, the Killarneys, Bride and
Maid, are of extra good quality. Car-
nations are in great supply, with the
price at $10 in thousand lots. The
quality is extra fine. Sweet peas, too,
were too many for the wholesalers to
dispose of at anything like a fair
price. The extra fancy held their own,
but the shorts sold as low as $1.50 per
thousand. A quantity of fine single
and double lilacs were disposed of dur-
ing the week. Violets are over for
this season. Lilies and callas are more
than the demand calls for. Valley was
in quite heavy demand all through the
week. Other bulbous stock is over for
the season. Some fine yellow daisies
are coming in and sell well at $2 per
hundred for the fancy.
In greens the market had a busy
week, as the demand was large.

FHILADELFHIA.
The Rising Eastern Market.
There have been a great many wed-
dings and some of those sadder affairs
that bring regret to nearly all except
the profession; and then there have
been social affairs where the "turkey
trot, ' ' the ' ' tango, ' ' the ' * crab crawl, ' '
the "grizzly bear" and the "grape
vine twist" gather the gay dancers.
Altogether these events have made
much to do in the floral world, not so
much, perhaps, as the week before, but
quite enough to make the wise ones nod
their heads and say it has been a good
week. Outdoor lilac has come, and
with it only a few of the other outdoor
flowers, besides the poet's narcissus.
The extraordinarily heavy rains and the
cool weather account for the absence
of the usual outdoor blooms. The va-
riety has been increased by the arrival
of iris — from the south, I think — and
by greenhouse-grown fancy gladioli,
baby gladioli, German ten weeks '
stocks and gillies, both single and
double, some of them remarkably fine.
Sweet peas are a big factor, the spring
crops of some of the growers being at
their best. The price is receding a little
under the influence of heavy receipts.
Valley has been in lively request. There
are more carnations and roses than a
week ago, and nearly all of them have
brought fair prices. Easter lilies are
quite scarce and callas are waning.
Violets are about over. It has taken
time to completely finish them. Indoor-
grown white lilac is still an important
flower. The demand from out of town
has been the strength of the market.

anticipated in May, especially of roses.
Already the supply of Maryland is im-
mense, and of Killarney "there is no
end." There has been an abundance
lately of wedding and dinner decora-
tions, which have kept the majority of
retail florists exceedingly busy and
have left no surplus of the selected
stock at any time. The bargain hunt-
ers have been obliged to fall back on
the lower grades, and less slashing of
values is in evidence in the big adver-
tisements of the department stores.
American Beauties, when perfect,
sold steadily last week at $30 per hun-
dred. One lot of 400 brought that fig-
ure. The demand for the best Beauty
stock continues wide and steady every
day. Brides, Maids and Marylands are
abundant, and prices are gradually
lessening. Killarney holds more stead-
ily, especially in its popular double
varieties. Sunburst, Ward, Chatenay,
Hillingdon and Richmond lose none of
their charm, and all the new kinds, in-
cluding Milady, Russell and Shawyer,
are much in demand by the "400"
since the National Flower Show. Car-
nations are increasing in volume, and
the quality is generally superb. The nov-
elties are many and in constant demand
at $4 per hundred. The older varieties
go at from $1 to $3. The purchases
for Mothers' day, Sunday, May 11, will
hold prices firm until after that cele-
bration. The publicity given the day
by The Review has occasioned much
favorable comment; judicious advertis-
ing in the daily press by the enterpris-
ing retailers should do the rest.
The best valley still is held at 4
cents, and the demand for society events
maintains this level for the selected.
It must be perfect to command this
price. Most of the supply sells from 3
cents down. There is no shortage in
the general supply. Longiflorum lilies
on Saturday, and in fact most of the
week, brought Easter prices for the
highest grade. There seems to be an
abundant supply, and the short-stemmed
stock sells slowly. Callas seldom go
above 75 cents to $1 per dozen. The
requiem has been sung, apparently, over
the violet industry for this season. A
few single ones still are seen. The
record of the year has not been a bril-
liant one. The best cattleyas are sell-
ing now at 60 cents. There are plentj'
of them anfl evidently many sources of
supply, as most of the wholesale houses
now handle them. Gigas, Mossise and
Schroederse are the varieties arriving,
the last being nearly at an end for this
season. Some fine double daffodils have

These, however, are the exception and
not the rule; $1 for five is the prevail-

The supply of sweet peas is heavy and

profitable returns. There is an abun-

PITTSBUBQH.
The Market.
Pittsburgh has had an unusually
warm week and everything outdoors
seems to be getting rather dry. This
appears to keep vegetation back some-
what, though there is some lilac in
bloom and tulip beds are really looking
fine. The wholesale cut flower houses
have had a good week. Quantities of
good stock have been coming in and all
of it seems to move out quickly at fair
prices. There has really not been a
great glut of anything so far, which is
quite surprising at this season of the
year. The stock offered comprises al-
most anything you can think of in the
line of cut flowers, including some vio-
lets, which are not particularly attract-
ive or much wanted.
The retail people seem to be quite
busy. Though much of the business is
what might be called small trade, the
total amount of it is quite satisfactory.
With the present great variety of
flowers, the stores look more attractive

than usual. There were some good fu-
neral orders early in the week. The
retailers seem to have gotten out of the
way of selling Beauties or they can
make more money selling other flowers,
for they do not seem to push Beauties
as in former years. The mixed center-
pieces of flowers, such as yellow daisies.
Ward roses, small Richmonds and other
small flowers, make an unusual demand
for that kind of stock. Good lilies also
move nicely; so do snapdragons and
iris.
The growers are busy getting carna-

EVERYONE GIVES A WHITE FLOWER TO SOMEONE ELSE TO

In memory of the loving mothers who have passed away, flowers are sent to
every sick room, sanitarium, hospital, almshouse, prison and orphanage.
Any white flower typifies Mothers' Day, although many prefer the white carna-
tion for "Mothers' Day Flower." Its virtues are similar to those of the
Mother. Its whiteness stands for purity; its form, beauty; its fragrance,
love; its wide field of growth, charity; its lasting qualities, faithfulness.

Various Notes.
The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is
cutting some fine cattleyas and yellow
daisies, which find ready sale.
The McCallum Co. is receiving ex-
cellent sweet peas and gardenias. Ed.
McCallum is moving his home from
Sheridan to the east end district.
Randolph & McClements are exceed-
ingly busy in every department.
Their counter trade has increased won-
derfully since they moved into their
new store and they have had a number
of small social affairs every day, which
have kept the store people on the
jump. They also do a planting busi-
ness, which was unusually good this
spring in the line of trees and shrub-
bery. At the greenhouses they are
busy filling miles of window and porch
boxes, and they are fortunate in having
room to handle them. The orders for
general planting indicate an exception-
ally good season.
Mrs. E. A. Williams long since gave
up the planting end of the business and
has all she wants to do in looking
after a select class of business which
demands personal attention. Last

The Florists^ Review
Mat 1, 1918.
week a large window of adiantum,
with fine specimen rhododendrons, was
especially attractive and beautiful.
Her window displays are always ar-
tistic.
The A. W. Smith Co. also does a
general business, and as landscape work
is a special feature, with the opera-
tions in this department extending over
a radius of 100 miles, it is needless to
say that the firm is at its wits' end at
times to get capable men to carry out
the work. The company is doing an
extensive retail seed business, which is
exceedingly active just at present.
The cut flower department is always
busy, as the firm is among the most
extensive advertisers in this city.
The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., of the
north side, has haf an unusually busy
week in funeral work. This firm caters
to the out-of-town undertakers, and an
order sent in at any hour of the day or
night receives immediate attention and
goes out on the first train. Ernest is
in the sleepless and restless class.
Ben Eliiott, of the John Bader Co.,
has been extremely busy getting his
stock into shape for Decoration day
ai»d he says, "Now let 'em come on,"
as he is ready with the largest and best
stock he ever had. Mrs. Elliott, who
has been at Portland, Ore., visiting her
father, John Bader, has returned and
reports that her father is well and
happy in his new home. Clarke.
St. Paul, Minn. — The Minnesota
Florists' Association gave its annual
dance April 17 at Junior Pioneer hall,
with an attendance of 300. It is custom-
ary for the association to alternate
its annual dances between Minneapolis
and St. Paul, but this year there have
been balls in both cities.
Omaha, Neb: — The city council is in
a quandary to determine the proper
sources of the money necessary to ac-
cept the gift of the Joslyn greenhouse
and collection of tropical plants, and
to transfer them to the city park.
About $5,000 will be required. It is
proposed to reconstruct the greenhouse
as it is now and to reproduce the dark
rooms and damp cellars necessary for
the tropical growth.

It goes to show what the retail florists through the country

Business has been quite good of late,
in spite of the fact that temperatures
of 80 degrees or over in the shade
were recorded on several days last
week. Boses, which had been in the
dumps, lifted up their heads a little
and moved better, and though the out-
put of these is now heavy, fairly good
clearances have been effected. As
usual, Taft, Russell, Beauty and the
yellow varieties have been the favor-
ites. Carnations continue of good
quality, and while prices have dropped
somewhat, they are still quite good for
the season. Gloriosa, Benora, Poca-
hontas and Pink Delight, in the case
of fancy flowers, bring as high as $4
per hundred, but the average price is
half these figures.
Sweet peas are selling extra well.
Flowers of finer quality were never
offered in Boston. Valley is in ex-

celleiit demand and is not overplentiful.
Lilies and callas are inclined to be
druggy. Yellow marguerites sell well.
Some fine Mrs. Sander also sells read-
ily. Blue cornflowers are popular and
some remarkably fine ones are coming
in. Dutch bulbous flowers from indoors
are practically over, and plenty of out-
door narcissi are now available. Span-
ish iris sells well; so also do gladioli,
which are as yet rather limited in num-
bers. The cattleya trade is paying
well, better than that for gardenias.
A good call exists for asparagus, es-
pecially Sprengeri.

Roger S. Mason is assistant manager
at the Boston Cooperative Market,
where business continues to grow, and
it would be difficult to find a more
capable workman.
W. P. Foley, of Mansfield, and D. J.
Horrigan, of East Foxboro, are large

rites to the Boston Cooperative Market.
Walter E. Holden, the courteous and
popular salesman at the Boston Coop-
erative Market, has the sympathy of
a host of friends in the death of his
little 7-month-old boy, April 18. The
Market sent a handsome wreath to
the funeral, April 21.
Robert Hutcheon, of Stoughton, was
first in the market with Peach Blos-
som and Blushing Bride gladioli,
which are handled by Mann Bros, at the

win tulips from indoors, and 'large

The Market.
Trade has been quite heavy, with
stock about equal to the demand in
most cases. iuneral work has been
the bulk of the business, except ou a
few warm days, when people thought
spring was here. Then they even
wanted to plant coleus, but at the
present writing nearly everyone has
winter wraps out again. The change
in the weather has curtailed the cuts
quite a little. Roses have been in fair
supply, but at times there were hardly
enough to go the rounds. Beauties
have been scarce. Carnations are com-
ing in quite heavily and are about
cleaned up daily. Sweet peas are in
great demand and are more abundant

than they were a week or so ago, as
it seems everyone had the same trou-
ble, the buds not opening. Some fine
snapdragons are in the market and
find quite a ready sale. Valley has
been scarce, with the demand quite
heavy at times.
Potted geraniums were good sellers
for the few warm days we had. Quite
a number of potted roses are disposed
of, in Baby Ramblers, La France, Beau-
ties, Hermosa, Bichmond, etc. Quite
a few lilies are still to be had and are
generally used up. There has been
quite a demand for pansy plants.
Various Notes.
Sherman Stephens is getting back in
shape again and he saved a good part
of his geranium stock that was under
water. He has only been in touch with

The Market.
Business has been dull in all quar-
ters during the last week. The whole-
salers report that there is plenty of
good stock, but the demand has not
been heavy. Sweet peas and Cecile
Brunner roses are now arriving in large
quantities and are welcomed by the
retailers. The few orchids and valley
that are coming in are being used to
good advantage. Lilac is popular for
decorating and cut flower purposes,
and a few Easter lilies are still to be
seen in some of the stores. Daffodils
have almost entirely' disappeared from
the market, but a fine array of excel-
lent tulips has taken their place.
Various Notes.
Business has been keeping up fairly
well at J. W. Wolters' store. A fine
casket cover, of Cecile Brunner roses
and pink sweet peas, and many table
decorations help to keep the force busy.
A splendid dendrobium, which was dis-
played in the store, attracted much at-
tention. This specimen was grown by
William Hertrich.
A new arrival in the trade is David-
son's Flower Shop, at 2428 South
Hoover street. From the progress al-
ready made by this store, it promises
to be a succ.ess.
The name of the Hayward Floral
Co. has been changed to Datling's
Shop. H. Reeve Darling says business
is well up to the average.
Bert Harris and his motorcycle were
in a smash-up last week, but he was
not seriously injured.
Freeman-Lewis Co. had two good
table decorations, but aside from these
business was rather dull.
Polder & Groen are bringing in some
of the first sweet peas of the season
from their Montebello ranch. These
are of good quality.
Ye Abbey Flower Shop reports that
business is as good as could be ex-
pected for a start.
The El Reah Nursery is sending in
some fine Radiance, Richmond and
White Killarney roses.
Mrs. Wollenberg must be given credit,
for the fine quality of Cecile Brunners
she is sending to a few of the stores.
H. R. Richards has been traveling
through the northern part of the state
on business for the Germain Seed &
Plant Co. This firm's stock at 326
South Main street was partly ruined
April 23 by fire and water, following a
blaze which is said to have originated
in the heating plant of the Belmont
hotel, adjoining. The cellar of the feed
store was flooded. Damage to the build-
ing was estimated at $300, fully cov-
ered by insurance, but the damage to
stock has not been fixed yet.
. H. R. Richards.
SAN FBANOISCO.
The Marked.'
The weather has turned quite warm
and flowers of all kinds are being
brought into town in large quantities.
With a week of hot days, everything
is coming on with a rush. However,
the heat is beginning to tell on the
stock, and if it continues much longer
the quality of inside flowers will de-
teriorate somewhat. Violets are over
for the season, as are also narcissi and
daffodils, while the late tulips are
about at their close. Lilac is begin-
ning to show the results of the hot
weather and the best of it has been
gathered. Lilium longiflorum is rather
plentiful and moves well. The same
can be said of valley. Freesias are
gone for the year. Spanish iris is still
in fair supply, but will be over in a
couple of weeks. Other stock remains
as usual. There is little doing in tlie
line of business at present, and if it
were not for the funeral trade most
of the retailers could take a vacation.
Various Notes.
.T. F. Reddy is no longer with Emil
Serveau, in the Fillmore street store.
He is taking a much needed vacation.
C. Kooyman, of Hogan, Kooyman ct
Co., Oakland, is on a two weeks' visit
to Los Angeles.

The Florists' Review

making spring sales shorter than usual,
is the opinion of the Market street
plant retailers.
Fred T. Bioletti, the Berkeley horti-
culturist, is on a week's trip to the
Imperial Valley.
G.
JOTTINGS FBOM SAN FRANCISCO.
The seventh anniversary of the cal-
amitous earthquake and fire finds the
Bay City practically all rebuilt, and a
remarkably improved city at that. The
florists have advanced with the rest of
thi> business world and a more hustling
or active crowd would be difficult to
finil. The retail stores are good and
arc well distributed — too well dis-
tributed for a man with little time to
visit them all. Wholesale facilities
seem all that could be desired and
there is a general feeling of bon
camaraderie that is most pleasing.
During a short visit I saw one or two
things that seemed worthy of brief no-
tice; hence these jottings.
II. Plath, out at The Ferneries, on
the south side of the city, has the finest
lot of Asplenium Nidus-Avis, or bird's
nest fern, I have ever seen. They are
there in immense numbers, but it is the
quality rather than the quantity that
is of interest. From the smallest
sporeling up through pricked out flats
and small pots to the largest sizes,
every plant is perfect. "First-rate"
is the only word for them. Other good
things are: Adiantum cuneatum;
Matador, a tall grower with fine fronds,
a sure winner; the new Glory of
Mordrecht, and a fine lot of Cibotium
Schiedei, big, spreading stock, in fine
order. There are other things of in-
terest, including a big stock of clean,
business-looking kentias, but Mr.
Plath 's stock is too well known to need
much eulogium from me. A large new
house for ferns is going up.
Schwerin Bros, are tearing down a
number of their older houses and re-
placing them with new ones. The val-
ley here is particularly fine and is
grown in large quantities.
I ran across an old friend in Wil-
liam Arnold, formerly foreman at the
♦ •eorge Reinberg plant, at Chicago. He
is now with Domoto Bros., at Elm-
hurst, and the results of his good work
can already be seen. This is a large
range of glass and there is also an im-
mense lath house, where an interesting
stock of Holland and Japanese plants
is displayed.
H. Hayashi & Co., Elmhurst, have
Rood stocks of pelargoniums, cycla-
mens. Primula obconica and other
'■rops. An interesting item here was
a line of Garland gutter put up nine-
teen years ago, which had been shipped
around the Horn at that time and is
^till in fine condition.
•1. B. Boland is a busy man and his
store looks like it. It is only the
florist who has nothing to do who can
afford to neglect his store.
Pelicano, Rossi & Co. have sureljn a
magnificent store. The open center,
^'th plants and flowers on each side
leading first to the office and then to
the workroom behind, is a fine idea.
1^'ie old Bride and Bridesmaid roses
^cre well shown here, and they are so
Seldom seen in this vicinity now that
' had to take a second look to see what

The Florists' Review
May 1, 1013.
fornia flowers are shown and the work
turned out here is of a high order.
George Bros., out at Elmhurst, have
a novel way of keeping their daffodil
bulbs from ripening off too quickly.
They allow volunteer barley and oats
to come up between the rows and
"grow together till harvest," when
the whole thing is cut for hay. The
brothers George are natives of the
flowery Isles of Scilly, off the Land's
End, in England, where daffodils are
grown by the trainload.
As a "stranger within the gates," I
have to thank all the San Francisco
boys for the glad hand and a most
pleasant time, only regretting it was all
too short.
H. B. Eichards.
SAN JOSE, CAL.
The Market.
Lack of rain has held business back
in the seed and small plant trade here,
but the florists are keeping their end
up well, having plenty of funeral work
and a good transient business. The
supply of flowers is good in all lines,
making it possible to turn the work
out at a profit, and some excellent de-
signs are sent out. Bulbous stock is
fine, but there seems to be a scarcity of
really good roses. Carnations are good.
Various Notes.
The Chas. C. NavLet Co.,, the pioneer
flower firm of the town, reports busi-
ness fine in all lines. J. Mieuli, man-
ager of the flower -store, returned from
his honeymoon trip April 21 and set-
tled down to work, looking fine. At
the nursery large numbers of all kinds
of plants are grown for the city and
mail order trade. The propagating
houses are also full of fine stock. I
had a most delightful ride through the
cherry orchards here with A. E. Buhot,
who manages the nursery and mail or-
der house. Even in this dry season the
country is beautiful, and the miles of
fruit orchards of all kinds, and the
good, hard roads, make automobiling
one of the joys of life.
I found Arthur Cann up to his eyes
in business, funeral work keeping him
and his force strictly on the jump.
The Garden City Bulb Co. is a
thriving young concern, run by L. E.
Doolittle. At the time of my call his
tulips w«re in fine condition.
San Jose is surely a paradise for the
outdoor rose grower. Though well used
to California roses, I never before saw
such magnificent masses of Gold of
Ophir, Beauty of Glazenwood, Chero-
kee and such types as are here to be
seen scrambling all over large old trees
and houses, and simply one mass of
flowers. A Chinese wistaria, too,
covering entirely an old Monterey
cypress thirty-five or forty feet high,
and every inch covered with the beau-
tiful racemes, was a sight long to be
remembered. H. R. Richards.
SAN DIEGO, CAL.
Among Growers and Retailers.
Miss Kate Sessions has long been
known and respected in the southland
and her place is exceedingly interesting,
containing much that is choice and rare
in nursery stock. Roses are especially
well done here and a magnificent plant

A Cactus Farm.
A 12-acre farm, all planted to spine-
less cactus, is an unusual sight and
worth the journey out on the primitive
railway that winds through the lovely
El Cajon valley, east of the city. This
is the property of Hugo Thum. There
are about 60,000 plants, some young
slabs ' ' just rooting, others large speci-
mens eight feet high. Just now the
crop is being taken, Mexican laborers
cutting the plants off to about ten
leaves. It is probably difficult for east-
ern people to appreciate the value of
a cactus crop, but in the desert sec-
tion, where feed of all kinds is scarce
and high and the growth of beets and
other roots out of the question, a plant
that produces hundreds of tons of suc-
culent stock food is a godsend. The
'caves are laid out to dry a little and
^tien planted about six feet apart each
^^■iy, the first year's crop more than
laying all expenses of planting.

Roses are at their heaviest, and their
quality and colors would be hard to

and Carnots are coming in, but it will
be several weeks before they will be in
heavy .cut. Carnations have an in-
creased cut, almost to a glut, yet the
prices have held up remarkably at the
first-class stores. Only the smaller fel-
lows are cutting the prices as a special
inducement. All classes of spring
flowers are gradually passing off the

C. W. GURNEY, president* of the Gurney
Seed & Nursery Co., died March 25, at
Yankton, S. D.
The Gate City Seed Co., of Keokuk,
la., was a loser April 14 by the fire which
damaged several establishments doing
business in one building. The combined
less was $20,000, partly covered by in-
surance.
When the tariff bill came out of the
Democratic caucus last week it had only
one change in the rates on seeds, * ' Castor
beans or seeds ' ' being reduced to 15
cents per bushel, instead of 20 cents as
in the original bill.
Wm. G. Scarlett & Co., of Baltimore,
Md., will build at once a new warehouse
to take care of their growing grass seed
trade. The building will be 51x62 feet,
with six stories and basement, and built
of brick. It will cost $27,000.
"Seedsmen should bless the man who
invented golf," said A. L. Don, of
Weeber & Don, the Chambers street
seedsmen in New York. "We are going
strong on all lines of seeds, but we can
hardly keep pace with our orders for
Jirass seed. Only this morning we re-
ceived an order for four tons of grass
seed for two country clubs, and four
tons, not four bags, is quite a lot of
grass seed."
Our canner friends are always com-
lilaining. Now it is that with peas "In
the south serious damage has been done
to the growing crop by high winds, rains
and cold weather. In some sections this
damage is said to have amounted to fifty
to seventy-five per cent of acreage on
which the vines were above ground. In
the middle west the floods prevented the
delivery of seed to the farmers, and the
fields are still so thoroughly saturated

SEED TESTING IN ZTJBICH.
Tbe Swiss Govenunent Station.
Probably there is not a seedsman
worthy of the name anywhere in the
world who does not know of the seed
testing station of the Swiss government,
at Zvrich. But just what is done there
is not so well known. The following
extracts from an article, by James
Long, which has been going the rounds
of the European press, tell the story
in part:
The results of the tests of many
thousands of samples annually over a
period of thirty-six years, as now tab-
ulated, have given a value to the stand-
ard of purity and germination which
does not exist elsewhere. During this
long period seeds of 150 varieties of
plants have been examined, and it is.

ing seeds a sample should contain. Thus,
to take one instance, the number of
samples of red clover seeds which have
been examined is 22,691; their purity
averages ninety-six per cent, while the
germination reaches ninety per cent.
A Standard of Quality.
The object of a seed control station
is the protection of the buyer, whether
he be agriculturist or horticulturist. As
I shall show, there- are seeds in the
market which are absolutely worthless,
which are not only impure in the ex-
treme, but which, so far as the pure
seeds are concerned, fail to germinate;
and it is largely owing to the control
which is afforded by the Swiss station
that seedsmen are enabled to maintain
an approximate standard. In the past
year 171 seedsmen sent samples to the
number of 11,000 to the Zurich station;
they were not only sent from all parts
of the United Kingdom, from Italy,
France, Germany, Austria, Holland, Bel-
gium, Denmark, Hungary and Finland,
but from the United States. It can
scarcely be regarded as a satisfactory
condition of affairs that an agricul-
tural country like our own should be
compelled to look to a scientific insti-
tution in one of the smallest countries
in the world for a solution of its troubles
in relation to seed, but such is the case.
Of the firms sending seed to Zurich for
examination, between twenty and thirty

long and wide experience, and it is for
this reason that something should be
done, in however small a way, at the
earliest possible moment. Given a grant

diflBcult to understand how the station

ain whose training can compare with
that of the assistants employed at
Zurich, however carefully students may
have studied the subject. During a
visit which I paid to the Swiss station
Dr. Stebler — who is still the director,
and author of a classic work upon
grasses and forage crops — in answer to
a question which I put to him as to
the extent of the experience required
before his assistants were competent,
mentioned twenty years. "Which
means," I rejoined, "that it practically
takes a lifetime?" to which he agreed.
While watching a lady assistant exam-
ining a sample, seed by seed, I was
amazed to notice how easily she sep-
arated the impure from the pure seeds.
This lady has been ten years at the
work and had still much to learn — a
fact which can be realized after the
examination of the hundreds of sam-
ples of cultivated and weed seeds which
are shown in Dr. Stebler 's collection,
large numbers of the one being prac-
tically identical with those of the other
to the non-observant and unskilled eye.
Diseased Plants Also Examined.
Since my last visit to Dr. Stebler,
some ten years ago, he has added to his
program the examination of diseased
plants. A special assistant — whom I
was able to see at his work — is em-
ployed for the purpose. I am aware
that a great deal of assistance is af-
forded to farmers by the officials of
our agricultural colleges, but with all
respect to the capacity of men who are
required to know something of many
subjects, it is impossible to expect those
who are engaged in general agricultural
instruction to be specialists either in
seed examination or in the physiology
of plants and their diseases. Seed ex-
amination not only demands scientific
knowledge, but iong experience in the
differentiation of varieties and, to a
smaller extent, in the methods of ger-
mination.
As a rule the seeds tested tor ger-
mination are placed in white saucers
made of China clay, and covered with
glass disks. Each sample is tested in
duplicate, 200 seeds in each case, and
placed in a special germinating cup
board, the temperature of which is con-
trolled. Thus, in one of these recep-
tacles was a large number of saucers
in which the seeds were growing, the
temperature varying in June from 68
to 83 degrees betweeti night and morn-
ing.

NEWS OF THE NURSERY TRADE
ac
3C
3C

3C
3C
Geo. J. FosTEE has sold his nursery
^business at Normal, 111.
W. G. SCHUCHT, of Chilton, Wis., con-
templates embarking in the nursery busi-
ness.
The death of H. W. Blowers, of West-
field, N. Y., is recorded in this week's
■obituary column.
Sixty men are now employed in the
packing sheds of the nurseries of L. L.
May & Co., near Lakeland, Minn.
Alabama nurserymen are planning to
hold a horticultural exhibition. L. H.
Bead, of Deer Park, manager of the
Dixie Cooperative Nurseries, is interested
in furthering the undertaking.
The nursery trade has a representative
in Congress in the person of C. A. Ken-
nedy, of Iowa, who is a member of the
£rm of Kennedy Bros., operating the
Eagle Nurseries, at Montrose, la.
One of the principal Holland nurseries
ventures the opinion that two-thirds and
possibly three-fourths of the nursery
■stock exported from Boskoop, and prac-
tically all grown there is exported, finds
its way to America.
This has been another spring season
to teach the expediency of pushing the
sales for fall delivery. Planting can
better be done in autumn than in such
springs as this has been in large sections
of the United States.
A European nurseryman, now in this
•country, is telling his customers that the
<juarantine regulations will not prove so
burdensome as they appear at first read-
ing. They entail some little extra work,
but he believes the clean bill of health
the law gives the nurseries is well worth
the extra effort.
Kentucky will have a state nursery
adjoining the fair grounds at Louisville.
The fair association has set apart twenty-
five acres for the purpose, and the fores-
try board of the state has appropriated
$1,500 with which to make a start. It
is proposed to supply citizens of the
state with trees at actual cost
The Los Angeles Investment Co., which
is developing the Hill tract of land at
Los Angeles, Cal., will establish a nursery
•of its own to provide trees, shrubs and
plants. Twenty-five acres have been set
aside for the purpose and $10,000 has
been made available at once, Louis
Horner, who laid out and superintended
the grounds of the McCormick estate at
Banta Barbara, Cal., will have charge of
the new nursery.
Geo. W. Johnson, proprietor of the
Highland Nursery, at Palouse, Wash.,
has been appointed superintendent and
horticulturist in charge of the Eiveria
fruit lands, near Riparia, owned by
President E. A. Bryan, of the Washing-
ton State College, and others. The High-
land Nursery will be managed by C. C.
Johnson. A large part of the growing
stock has been sold to the Eiveria com-
pany for delivery next fall. Three hun-
dred acres additional will be set to fruit
in the fall.
The Altaloma Citrus Nurseries Co., of
Cucamonga, Cal., has been organized. The
authorized capital is $25,000 and $9,000
has been subscribed. The directors are:
A. J. Worthington, H. G. Klusman, C. T.
Brown, W. A. Lucas and H. O. Ward.
The planting season for the nursery-
men in the middle west is holding out bet-
ter than had been expected. It was late
in starting, which many thought would
mean an early finish, but spring has been
intermittent this year and work has not
yet been interrupted by the arrival of
summer. In the east, too, it has turned
out an unusually long season. They had
an early start there and still are at work.
O. K. White, field agent of the Michi-
gan Horticultural College, will give a
series of free orchard demonstrations in
the vicinity of Kalamazoo, Mich., during
the spring and summer, on pruning,
spraying, thinning the fruit, grading and
packing. Mr. White will give a talk on
pruning May 3 before the Oakland
County Horticultural Society, which will
hold its next meeting then at the fruit
farm of E. J. VerDuyn, near Novi, Mich.
The condition of S. H. MacKeen's
citrus stock at Terra Bella, Cal., fur-
nishes an illustration of the fact that
water will work wonders in freezing-cold
weather. He will not lose a single tree
as a result of the heavy and disastrous
frosts of January 6 and 7. The stock
is green and growing and coming out
fine. For seventy-two hours Mr. Mac-
Keen kept a stream of water flooding the
ground, and on the two severe mornings
be applied water liberally to the tops of
the trees.
When the tariff bill was reported back
to Congress last week it was unchanged
in the paragraphs covering nursery stock.
All the ambiguities remain in the bill.
Jean R. Trumpy, who is credited with
having introduced hydrangeas, rare ever-
greens and Japanese maples into Ameri-
can landscape gardening in 1864, frac-
tured his right thigh by slipping in a bath
tub at his home, and he is now under
treatment at a hospital in Flushing, N.
Y. He is 83 years old. A number of
years ago he was one of the most prom-
inent horticulturists in the country. His
first success in growing rare plants in
America followed the return from Japan
in 1864 of a Mr. Hogue, who brought
samples of Japanese maples in which he
interested the Parsons Nurseries at Flush-
ing, where Mr. Trumpy was employed.
The nursery managers gave them to Mr.
Trumpy to determine if they could be
grown in this country and under what
conditions.
MAY HAVE SPECIAL TRAIN.
M. B. Fox, who is attending to the
details of the Nurserymen's Special,
which will leave Rochester, N. Y., June
12, for the A. A. N. convention at
Portland, Ore., is hopeful of filling a
sufficient number of cars by the time
St. Paul, Minn., is reached to justify
a special train to the coast.
Mr. Fox states that at least one car
will be filled from Rochester and he is
endeavoring to have two cars filled at
Chicago by nurserymen from the mid-
dle west and the south, who will join
the Rochester party here. At St. Paul,

a modern plant.
In 1880 C. A. Smith erected a plant
at 3501 Portland avenue, which he
operated until 1899, when it was
bought by L. S. Donaldson and en-
larged. Mr. Donaldson has been run
ning this in connection with his de-
partment store. W. D. Desmond is the
present manager.
In 1886 Wesling & Hartman, then
two young men, started what is now
Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouse. Two
years later they separated, Mr. Hart-
man remaining on the old place, and
Mr. Wesling building at his present
location, 3538 Hennepin avenue. The
same year Fred Bush began the erec-
tion of his present plant. In 1888 John
Vasatka started. In 1887 Henry
Bartsch opened up. Five years later
he moved to Sixth avenue north and
Irving, where he stayed until he dis-
continued business a few years ago.
In 1868 E. ..^"agel aitit^ the green-

husband, Walter Pier. In 1892 R. Will
laid the foundation of the extensive
plant of Will Bros. Co. It was
run on a small scale until 1901, when
the old houses were torn down and
large modern houses built in their
place. In 1898 the Drake greenhouse
was built. In 1900 John Munson com-
menced the plant of the Minneapolis
Floral Co. By building additions from
time to time this has become a leader
in size.

HARDY PERENNIALS. The most complete collection of varieties
and the largest stock m the country. Our
Perennial plants have a national reputation. We spare no expense to have them in
the best possible shape for the planter. Such varieties as move better when pot-
grown are prepared in this shape. This does not mean little seedlings but in the
majority of cases the plants were 8eld-grown, were dug and potted during the fall
and winter months, and are just the right size to give immediate results. They are
not to be compared with so-called field clumps. Try them and be convinced. See
our current v^holesale list for varieties and prices.

rOontlDued from pace 66.]
About this time greenhouse building
became quite popular. In 1901 Sauer &
Rosacker built the plant of the East
Side Floral Co. The next year Hans
Rosacker started his own plant. In
1904 Robert Stern built greenhouses.
The same year Mr. Drake erected a
building across the street. Both plants
are now operated by Mr. Stern, Two
years later Thos. Hall, Julius Rieck
and Hiawatha Gardens Co. all started.
In 1911 the latter company built an-
other plant on Lyndale avenue and
Fifty-seventh street south. The same
year Hopper & Magnusen built the
plant of the Central Floral Co. In 1907
the park board started to build a
greenhouse at the Lyndale Farmstead.
The plant now consists of five houses.
This completes the list, but material is
already on the place of John Vasatka,
for a new plant.
Up to 1900 every grower was his
own retailer and there were only two
retailers, Miss. H. B. Whitted, who be-
gan in 1894, and A. S. Swanson, in
1898. Thos. Lynes opened in 1901, and
R. Latham in 1903. In 1906 Miss H.
B. Whitted moved to Fifth street and
opened another store at Tenth and
Nicollet in 1910. In 1912 she opened a
store in the Radisson Hotel building.
O. E. Amundson began business in 1904
and Carl' Lindskoog in 1907. In 1912
W. F, Holmes and W. H. Bofferding
went into business. In addition there
are candy and grocery stores which
handle flowers as a side line, too
numerous to mention.
In 1900 Brant & Noe, of Chicago,
opened a commission house in Minne-
apolis, with Cal. Rice in charge. After
a year's experience this was discon-
tinued as not being profitable. Afte^
this Cal. Rice and Arthur Rice con-
tinued the business under the name of
Rice Bros. From a small beginning
they now have an establishment which
is equal to the best.

The papers this week have it that
W. J. Lawrence, of Eglinton, is ar-
ranging with the authorities at Rich-
mond Hill for the passage of a by-law
so that the village may loan him $10,-
000 wherewith to erect greenhouses in
the neighborhood, the said sum to be
paid back without interest in ten
yearly installments of $1,000 each. Mr.
Lawrence suffered a heavy loss about
seven weeks ago through the wrecking
of his 800-foot house by a severe storm.
John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, is also
transferring his business interests to
Richmond Hill, having purchased thirty
acres of the Hawkins estate, adjoining
the Canadian Northern railway yards,
for $15,000.
Greenhouse building is being con-
ducted on a lively scale this spring.
The Dale Estate has already begun the
foundations and power plant for six
new houses, each 600 feet long, on
property recently purchased from the
Lowe estate. Violets will be grown
exclusively in this section, provided the
labor supply does not fail. Nearly 250
men are at present employed by this
firm, and wages are higher than at any
previous time in the firm's history.
Business is remarkably good, and huge
cuts of roses and carnations are of
daily occurrence. Last week over 80,-
000 carnations alone were brought in.
New valley houses were recently added,
the space formerly taken by valley oe-
ing monopolized now by orchids.
Spring is earlier than it has been for
many years, and the carnation plants
are already being sent out to the fields,

The Florists' Review
Mav 1, 1913.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
On the whole business last week as-
sumed a steady gait; the first part of
the week the weather was warm, which
had a tendency to rush on the crops,
while it finished the violets and soft-
ened the sweet peas. As the week
drew to a close and the weather cooled
down, stock in all lines shortened up
just enough to keep prices satisfactory.
Bulbous stock hung fire, while the sup-
ply of lilies, especially callas, is
ahead of the demand at times. This
week opened well and Monday night
found the coolers pretty clean.
Various Notes.
The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports
booking quite satisfactory orders for
Memorial day.
The Kummer Floral Co. is the name
of the new concern which opened a
flower stand, with conservatory in con-
nection, on Hopkins road, just across
from the entrance to Union cemetery.
The Currie Bros. Co. is the first in
the trade to use display card advertise-
, ments in the local street cars.
Gust Kusch & Co. report business
as keeping up well, with a good Moth-
ers' day in sight.
Nick Zweifel, of North Milwaukee,
is always one of the first to rush his
•carnation stock into the field. This
year he started April 22.
May 3 is tag day, and flowers will
be used. Orders for 25,000 cut flowers
have been given.
Although it has orders galore, the
A. F. Kellner Co. finds it diflScult to
get help.
Adam Zender, of; Chicago, was the
guest of Fred Holton for a few days
last week. Other visitors: P. L. Mc-
Kee, of Moninger's, Chicago; A.
Butcher, of Waukesha, Wis., and Mrs.
Miller, of Racine. E. O.
The Holton & Hunkel Co., at its
Brown Deer plant, will at once proceed
with the erection of a new range of
six houses, each 28x400. A meeting
of the directors of the company was
held April 25, at which the contract
was awarded to the John C. Moninger
Co., Chicago. The houses are to be
similar to the b^g new houses of Bas-
flett & Washburn, at Greggs Station,
111., and it is planned to have them
ready for planting to roses and carna-
tions for next season's supply.

BOCHESTEE, N. Y.
The Rochester Florists' Association
held its fourth annual banquet April
24, at the Hotel Rochester, and about
100 members and their wives attended.
The tables were placed in the shape of
a letter U, with the speakers at the
bottom. The decorations consisted of
pink carnations. W. T. Logan was
toastmaster, and called upon the fol-
lowing for addresses: John Dunbar,
who spokfton "The Horticultural Hori-
zon;" A.fe. Crockett, ''The Rochester
Flower Show;" W. H. Dildine, "The
Successful Florist of the Future;" F.
B. Messing; R. G. Salter, "Reminis-
cences," and H. P. Neun. President
John Dunbar said: "If we are cor-
rectly informed, a $60,000 appropria-
tion by the legislature for the horticul-
tural department of the Agricultural
College at Cornell, for horticultural ex-
perimentation, mainly along ornamental
lines, is assured. This certainly widens
our horticultural horizon."
The entertainment committee was
composed of F. W. Vick, G. B. Hart,
0. B. Ogston, J. M. Keller and T. B.
Scblegel. The association was organ-
ized in January, 1908, and now has a
membership of 161. The officers are:
President, John Dunbar; vice-president,
George Arnold; secretary, H. B. String-
er; treasurer, William L. Keller.
Middlebush, N. J.— Edouard C. Mat-
thes will open a branch store in the new
Jelin building, in New Brunswick, N. J.,
and expects to make it one of the finest
flower stores in the state. Mr. Matthes
has greenhouses at Rosedale, L. I.
Middletown, N. Y. — J. Meiklejohn
has sold his business here to F. X.
Dienst, the Cottage street florist. Mr.
Meiklejohn, who is well known in the
trade in New York city and elsa^here,
is said to have injured his health by
his strenuous work in developing his
business during his year or more in this
city, and is compelled to retire for a
time in order to get the needed rest.

Hartford, Conn. — J. A. Weber, for
the last twelve years expert florist and
horticulturist for James J. Goodwin and
Senator Walter L. Goodwin, has ac-
cepted a position with E. C. Goodrich,
a prominent railroad man, at ?3xcelsior,
near Minneapolis, Minn. He will have
charge of Mr. Goodrich 's estate of more
than 200 acres. Theodore Wirth, super-
intendent of public parks at Minneapo-
lis, and formerly park superintendent
of Hartford, was instrumental in secur-
ing the new berth for Mr. Weber. Both
Mr. Wirth and Mr. Weber attended the
National Flower Show in New York,
and while there Mr. Wirth received a
telegram from Mr. Goodrich asking him
to secure a good man to take charge of
the estate at Excelsior. Mr. Wirth se-
lected Mr. Weber, who went to Minne-
apolis to confer with Mr. Goodrich and
accepted the latter 's proposition. He
will leave for Excelsior early this
month.

We are growing all our Eentias above 6-inch size in neat C«(Uur Tubs, made especially for us, with electric wire hoops, painted Kr««n.
These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.
When in Philadelphia be sure to look us up.
We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine train service — fifty
trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all
■Izes, from 2^-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on Decorative Palme, in 7-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single
plants), which we can supply in any quantity. All our Palms are bome-srown (not an imported plant on the place) and well established
in the tubs. They are strong and healthy.
With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is mnoh larcer tban ever before and never in better oondition.

The Florists' Review
Mav 1, 1913.
DETROIT.
The Market.
Business was fair the first part of
last week, a large quantity of funeral
work cleaning up all stock. A steady
downpour of rain Saturday and Sunday
caused a falling oflf in trade and the
market was pretty well supplied with
stock at the opening of the present
week.
Various Xotes.
A special meeting of the Detroit
Florists' Club was held April 23 at tho
store of the Bemb Floral Co. Arrange-
ments were made for advertising
Mothers' day.
John Klang will soon break ground
for a modern store on Forest avenue,
east. This will be the permanent home
of Mr. Klang 's business, which has
been growing steadily.
William Wells, of Merstham, Eng-
land, paid our city a visit last week
and was entertained by Philip Breit-
meyer and Eobert M. EahaJey. Mr.
Wells came to look over Carnation
Philadelphia and was so well pleased
that he placed a large order for stock
to be shipped out of pots.
M. Bloy is getting ready for his big
spring trade and special sales of bed-
ding plants, which have become popular
with the Detroit plant buyers.
Thos. Browne has a fine stock of
vincas this year.
G. H. Taepke is ready for spring bed-
ding trade, with a stock of 80,000
plants.
May 1, Ealeigh Wells, who has been
connected with the Michigan Cut
Flower Exchange for some years, will
join partnership with Theodore Michel.
Mr. Wells has many stanch friends in
the trade and certainly has their best
wishes for much success. H. S.
Indianapolis, Ind.— S. T. Hitz & Son
will add to their range this summer
two greenhouses, each 30x147 feet.
Detroit, Mich. — Thieves with a pen-
chant for flowers have robbed the trade
of hundreds of dollars' worth of cut
stock in the last two weeks. G. H.
Taepke and J. F. Sullivan are among
the latest sufferers at the hands of in-
truders, who in every case have made
entrance by cutting panes of glass from
rear windows and opening the catches.

DHoice Plants loi Immeiliale Sliipnient
A wonderful clock at a hotel in In-
terlachen, Switzerland. The biggest
wonder of nature the world has ever
seen.
See that clock? It is made of
flowers!
It has hands and shows the time!
See that little house in the rear, also
made of flowers? There is hidden a
mechanism that strikes the quarter,
half and the hour. What do you think
this clock is made of? It is made of
plants of brilliancy — mostly of dwarf
begonias, the Vernon type, short va-
riety, pink and red. The head gar-
dener, the creator of this clock, of this
famous, world-wide known hotel at In-
terlachen, Switzerland, has been offered
a fortune by American and other mil-
lionaires of the world, to make them a
clock similar to this, but he declined
the offers, saying that he was hired by

the hotel company for the next ten
years. I was fortunate enough, during
my visit there, to obtain from the head
gardener, the creator of this clock, a
supply of seed and stock plants of those
beautiful varieties of begonias to raise
a sufficient crop of about 50,000 young
plants in 2*^, 3 and 4-inch pots for you
to use in a similar clock, carpet bed or
other outside work. A bed of these
begonias, pink, the Erfordii, or the
bright red improved Vernon, is a joy
forever, Constajit bloomers, stay al-
ways short and bushy, the hot rays of
the sun have no bad effect on them.
They can be grown in a sunny or shady
place. We can sell you large 4-inch

PE0VIDENC3E.
Tbe Market.
Business was about normal last week
and, as a rule, most of the dealers
had even clean-ups. On Saturday
there was a slight flurry in small
bunches of cut "flowers for corsage
bouquets, the splendid spring weather
and the Brown-Princeton baseball game
causing a great increase in the demand.
There was also a heavy call for seeds
and plants for outdoor culture. Prices
rule normal and the demand and sup-
ply are regular.
Various Notes.
Wm. E. Chappell had a large Ma-
sonic decoration last week.
Wm. B. Hazard and Neils G. Pier-
son have taken the management of
the flower department at the store of
L. Dimond & Sons, at Westminster and
Union streets.
Joseph E. Kopelman has announced
that he intends to discontinue the re-
tail business and will, after May 15,
confine himself to the wholesale and
commission business. For this purpose
he is fitting up a new and larger store
at 47 Eddy street, only a short dis-
tance from his present location. He
will increase the capacity of his green-
houses in Oaklawn.
Among the visitors in this city last
week were representatives of the M.
Rice Co., of Philadelphia; H. Bavers-
dorfer & Co., Philadelphia, and H. M.
Robinson & Co., Boston.
The Bristol Floral Co., with F. C. F.
Geisler and J. H. Kemph as proprie-
tors, has opened a store at the corner
of Hope and Church streets, Bristol.
Friday, May 9, will be Arbor day
and several of the dealers have orders
for trees, shrubbery and plants.
The demand for seeds and garden
implements has been unusually brisk
with the Philip J. Bowen Co., at 250
Main street, Pawtucket.
Charles Smith, with Joseph Kopel-
man, spent several days last week in
Boston.
Abe KroU, who has been traveling
through the south for several months,
arrived in this city last week and is
now looking for a location.
Charles H. Hunt visited Brockton,
Mass., last week in his automobile,
combining business with pleasure.
Thomas Curley is busy with the
spring work at the grounds of the State
House and State Normal School.
Alexander H. Johnson, city forester,
gave an address on shade trees and
their care at the monthly meeting of
the Rhode Island Horticultural Society,
April 23. Two new members were
elected and vacancies among the offi-
cers were filled. It was announced that
the speaker for the meeting May 21
would be Dr. Ezra Brainard, president-
emeritus of Middlebury College, Ver-
mont. He will give an address on
"The Breeding and Growing of New
American Violets," with stereopticon
illustrations.
The usual flood of government seeds
has descended upon the state and the
rural mail bags are weighty with the
contributions from the several mem-
bers of Congress.
Joseph P. Gallagher, 318 Main street,
Pawtucket, was unusually busy last
week with garden and flower seeds and
■tensils. W. H. M.

It sold so much better than was expected
that the First Edition, intended to last
a year, was sold out in eight months.
This Album was published in
response to many requests
from Florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book to be used in taking orders
for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all
cut flower work where it is not practicable to show the customer the finished arti-
cle as it will be when ready for use. With this Album you can show the
finished work, in beautifully printed pictures.
The Album has been THOROUGHLY REVISED for the
Second Edition and contains a large] number of designs
not shown In the wonderfully successful First Edition.
NINETY-SIX PAGES, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beautifully
printed on heavy glazed paper, handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear.

The price has not been raised for the Second Edition, although everybody says
the First Edition was worth more money, and this is a better book in every way.

ROSE AFTER SATISFACTION.
When you buy (J. & R. roses you get along
with theui the after-satisfaction — that sense of
realizing all the success that should come from
planting quality roses, the knowing that no bet-
ter results are possible to be obtained outside
of G. & R. roses. It Is the after-satisfaction
that has compelled us to plan to grow for the
coming season one million additional roses.
Think of it. the after-satisfaction selling five
million roses, and demanding a million Increase,
In one year. "Going some,'*^ you say. Yes, but
are you getting your share of this "rose after-
satisfaction"? If not. why not? Plant G. & R.
quality roses. None better, none so good.

other plants now ready. Write for it today.

Greenhouse Heating.
Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Eeview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
USE OF SECOin)-HAND PIPE.
We . are building a greenhouse and
contemplate using second-hand gas pipe
for the heating coils. I have been in-
formed that pipe that has once been
used for gas will rust out in a short
time. Is this correct? Any advice you
can give me will be appreciated. O.
The condition of the pipe is not
stated, but at best it will not be as dur-
able as new pipe and if it has been used
underground its durability will be
greatly lessened. It will be well in
either case to coat the pipes, inside and
outside, with mineral paint, free from
tar. If the pipe is in bad condition, its
use in the heating coils would not be
advisable. F, K.
THE COAL MABKET.
In the modern greenhouse establish-
ment the fir^s never go out, but the
average small grower, especially if his
crop is carnations, loses no time in let-
ting the artificial heat go down as early
in the eptiuM ^^ nature comes to his
assistance. But no sooner than the fires

are out "the question comes up of the

not safe for a grower whose require-

a man burns no more than a few wagon
loads a month, he can trust to some
local retail source of Bupply;'but if he
needs forty or fifty tons a day in cold
weather, as many growers do, the hand-
to-mouth policy will not do. The big
grower must have a supply to run him

BOILEB AND STACK.
I plan to build two greenhouses 21x
150 feet, five feet to the gutter and
twelve feet to the ridge, which should
be run at about 60 degrees in the cli-
mate of northern Indiana. Will you
kindly tell me what size of boiler will
be necessary, using steam heat, and how
high the stack should bef F. A. K. .
Any boiler rated at 5,000 feet would
be all right. It will take about 4,000
running feet of l^^inch pipe, but T
would get a boiler rated at 5,000 feet.
A stack two feet in diameter and forty
feet high will serve. F. R.
GAS, COKE, COAL?
Please furnish information as to the
relative heating value of hard coal,
coke and natural gas, when either is to
be used in the return tubular type of
boilers and under normal conditions.
The gas is under a pressure of one and
one-half to three ounces. I would in-
stall the latest improved burners and
mixers, but would use no steam or com-
pressed air in connection with the gas.
The ruling prices in this vicinity are:
Hard coal, $6; coke, $3.50; gas, 35 cents
per thousand feet. H.
The results obtained when the fuel is
used under a tubular boiler might be
different from the results as they have
been determined in a small sectional
heater. In the latter case the coke
would be the cheapest of the three fuels
at the prices mentioned, but this would
require that it be so burned as to secure
its full effieien^cy. Gas would need to
be available' at 20 cents to equal the
price of coke, and at 25 cents to be
comparable with the price of hard coal.
In favor of the gas should be noted 'the
saving in the expense of firing and of
removing the ashes. Using it under a

Heated by No. 15 Kroesohell Boiler, Kroeschell Scinch Return Piping System and
Kroeschell Generator. Greenhouses each 28 feet by 200 feet. Garland Construction.
The mains are arrangred to take care of a future addition of 40,000 sq. ft. of grlass;
2-inch returns are used throughout the entire range and each 2-lnch return line is
controlled by 1-Inch gate valve (strictly a Kroeschell feature) .insuring perfect control.
It is a gravity Job; the circulation is perfect, reaching the extreme ends of range in
fifteen minutes. The Kroeschell Generator (the high speed gear for hot water heat-
ing) is also used for this system.
"Your No. 15 Kroeschell Boiler heats our entire range. We maintain
a temperature of 60 degrees in our greenhouses, and this temperature is
easily maintained even in the very coldest weather. Your boiler has given
entire satisfaction. It is the best and quickest heater I have ever used or
seen. I have found the boiler very economical in the use of fuel and labor,
as it is not necessary to use the best coal, and any labor will do for a
fireman. The Kroeschell Piping System with Generator works like a charm.
When ! want to sulphur, I can heat the water up to 230 tq 240 degrees and
I get the same results as from steam. Seelitf is believing — all Growers are
invited to call. Any further information concerning boiler and piping
system will be gladly given. We had a large number of Florists at our
place recently, and they all thought we had the finest equipped plant in
the business." j^^ RIVERBANK COMPANIES,

Continuous Firing for Four Years Twerfty-
four Hours a Day Fails to Burn Out •
Cyclone Grates
We have installed many sets of Cyclone Grates where these figures
have held true.
Any grates that show no evidence of burning after four years' con-
tinuous firing twenty-four hours a day must have something exceptionally
worth while about them.
Cyclone Grates resist burning because the Cyclone Plan insists upon a
mixture of iron being used which years of experience and experiment
have found best suited for the purpose.
THIS GRATE WILL SAVE YOU MONEY
NOT ONLY IN FUEL, BUT IN REPAIRS

Whefe There Is Coodeiisation
— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in
steam lines is akin to matter out of place— means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform
temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per-
fectly— return the pure, hot condensatioi) to your holier without
pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that
impulse — wfite now.

selling well. The market for shorter
ones is rather crowded. The carnation
supply is so large that at the time of
this writing there seems to be little
chance to move it all. Only the best
and freshest of the stock is finding a
ready sale and on that the prices are
hammered down to a low point. Both
Easter lilies and calla lilies are offered
in quantities, but at the best they have
only ordinary sales. Some smaller bulb-
ous stock is coming in, but not in
large quantities. Sweet peas are again
in good supply, but only the best of
them meet with any steady call. The
valley cut is rather limited. Those that
come in are taken up. Other offerings
include snapdragon, stocks, iris, pansies,
forget-me-nots and the like.

SILICATE
FOR KILLING WEEDS IN LAWNS
Positively effective and absolutely guaranteed or money returned.
I AWN SILICATE is unquestionably superior to any preparation ever applied as a top
dressing to lawns to destroy Plantain, Buckhorn, Dandelion and other low growing,
flat leaved weeds that a lawn mower will not kill. It is odorless and is easy to apply.
Does not stain or injure hands or clothing. It is positively the most economical,
quickest and most effective method of getting rid of weeds ever devised. 0^A 5-lb. package
covers 200 to 500 square feet. It does not kill the grass, but the weeds are practically all killed
in 24 to 48 hours, and afterwards literally burned up and blown away. ^^This is not a "fairy
tale." We invite investigation. It is sold on "money back guarantee."

WASHINQTON.
The Market.
1 %
The thermometer last week reached
the 90-degree mark, with the result
that there was an overstocked market.
While small quantities of select Ameri-
can Beauty roses sold at $3 per
dozen, in quantities they could be had
at the buyer's figure, with the result
that Beauties with 4-foot stems
were peddled on the street at 10 cents
each. All other roses ran from $4 to
$6 per hundred, with the poorer grades
as low as $15 per thousand. Car-
nations have been in heavy supply, but
in fair demand, with $2 per hundred
the ruling price. Selected stock and
white carnations are quite scarce at
$3 and $4. Sweet peas are to be had
in large quantities. There is an over-
supply of snapdragon, along with the
other blossoms, which caused the price
to drop. Gardenias, too, were a drug
on the market. Outdoor valley has put
in an appearance. In fact, outdoor
stock of all varieties is being rushed
into the market in large quantities.
This is materially hurting the sale of
greenhouse stock and not only affects
the producers but the retailers as well.
Various Notes.
A local concern is putting forth a
novelty in the way of forced peonies.
This firm during the spring found oc-
casion to move 500 plants and, instead
of planting them outdoors at once, con-
ceived the idea of lifting them and
placing them in the greenhouse. The
experiment seems to have been success-
ful, except that the overstocked mar-
ket prevented the obtaining of suit-
able prices.
Among the visitors in town were A.
F. Vick, with Robert Craig Co.; J. J.
Goudy, with H. A. Dreer, and C. B.
Knickman, with McHutchison & Co.

FUNGUS ON VEGETABLE LEAVES.
I inclose a few sample leaves from
my tomatoes, parsley and lettuce.
What is the trouble and the remedy for
it? They seem to have mildew and
mold on them, which is spreading. I
have used potassium gas for white hy
and I am now about rid of the pest,
except a big crop of the eggs. How
can I destroy the eggs? H. C. B.
There is no method for the destruc-
tion of white fly eggs. The only thing
to be done is to wait until the eggs
hatch and then fumigate with potas-
sium cyanide several nights in succes-
sion.
The fungus on the leaves generally
follows an attack of white fly and is
familiarly known as sooty mold. It is
not parasitic on the leaves, but never-
theless the plants are seriously in-
jured from the commercial standpoint.
When the white fly is under control
the fungus will gradually disappear.
G. L. Peltier.
DISEASED ONION TOPS.
I have a bench of onions in my green-
house and am writing for information
about them. The onion tops drop over
and wither, some perhaps an inch or two
from the top, others halfway down and
others, again, at the bottom. The point
is clearly defined between the sound and
diseased portion. I have examined for
insects, but can detect none. Although
I have grown onions for years, I never
have had this experience before.
E. S. P.
There is undoubtedly some trouble
with your soil, which can be best rem-
edied another season by sterilization.
Growers of lettuce and other vegetable
crops nearly all sterilize, and find that
this ensures clean, thrifty plants.

The Curved Eave House is not Too Costly for Commercial Use

No eave but the curved eave Is absolutely Ice-free at all t'meB. Note
the quantity of Ice that has formed on the sill and dropped off.
JIONSIDERING the many advantages of the curved eave
construction, it is rather a wonder more growers have
not adopted it. Surely it cannot be because of the slight
difference in price. So it must be because of the fact that
curved eave houses, when first built for commercial pur-
poses, were neither practical nor low enough in cost, that

the impression has continued. It is a mistake. Houses
built by us ten years ago are today just as satisfactory as
ever. Their owners state there is no more glass breakage
than on other houses. Let us send you our catalogue
showing full structural details and a' circular telling one
owner's opinion of the construction.

We Have Moved
Our New York Office
\X7E have changed the location of our New York
''' Office, from 1133 Broadway to the Forty-
Second Street Building, corner of 42d Street and
Madison Avenue.
This is diagonally across from the New Grand
Central Station. A Subway Station is right
handy in the building.
From the Pennsylvania Station you can reach
us by taking a 34th Street car, and transferring
at Fourth Avenue — only a short ride.
The change makes our location decidedly
more accessible, and gives us the more commod-
ious quarters long needed.
You are cordially invited to come and see us.

The Florists^ Review
111
MR. GREENHOUSE MAN, if a contractor tells you frankly, "That kind of lumber will rot too soon,
I would rati^ use Cypress," he is worth dealing with. Trust his judgment, his experience and
his honesty. Qive him the order.
MR. QREENHOUS! MAN, if a contractor says to you, "Cypress will cost you more to begin with than
some 'substitte' wood, but it will be CHEAPEE for you if you figure your building costs BY
THE YEAE,' listen to him. He is speaking from experience, and YOU will do well to PEOFIT
by his experince, and the experience of the greenhouse trade as a whole.
MR. OREENHOUSEMAN, CYPEESS is the one ' ' natural-born greenhouse wood ' '—that is as thoroughly
established as g the succession of days and nights. The thousands and thousands of owners who
have tested it mt and have profited by its marvelous endurance and corresponding freedom from
repair and replcement bills, make a case that CANNOT BE DISPROVED. Don't let any one
talk you out of iypress.
THAT BEINO THE FACT, THE EEASONABLE CONCLUSION IS: ANY OTHEE WOOD THAN
CYPEESS FOE ^EEENHOUSE WOEK IS " A SUBSTITUTE" FOE THE PEOVEN BEST. CfY-
PRESS IS THE tEST— NO AEGUMENT POSSIBLE ON THAT POINT.
Now for a volun^ or a dozen volumes of our CYPEESS POCKET LIBEAEY— they are free to
you. Send a letter or 8 postal hiking for what you need. VOL. 3 is about GEEENHOUSES— nothing
but. Just you GET IT. i

MOTHEES' DAY.
Write The Eaview.
The special feature of The Eeview
for April 24 was Mothers' day, with an
account of the methods by which the
trade had pushed the day into a lead-
ing position. It was because of exploit-
ation by The Eeview that the trade
took up this work and this pager na-
turally is anxious to know of the work
done and the results achieved this year.
Particularly, it is important to note
the progress made in developing the de-
mand for other flowers than the white
carnation. Write The Eeview about
the methods you used to awaken the
public and the effect on your sales.
Also tell how your trade looked at the
idea of
For Mothers living:, a flower bright.
For Mother's memory, a flower white.
THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
J. Kallenbach, manager of the Ama-
rillo Greenhouses, at Amarillo, Tex., de-
signed and executed the reproduction
of "The Old Oaken Bucket," as shown
in the accompanying illustration. It
was used as a window decoration by the
City Light & Water Co., of Amarillo,
in conjunction with a display of an-
tique and modern utensils, intended to
differentiate between the ease with
which the present-day housewife can do
her work and the tiresome, prolonged
hours of labor that fell to her ancestral
sister, Mr. Kallenbach went to Texas
from Erie, Pa., a year ago and in a
short time he has established a good
business.
, WHAT IS THE WISEST C0UESE7
One of our old established firms here
is disposing of its surplus flowers, prin-
cipally carnations, to fruit stands
around town at an extremely low figure,
low enough so that they retail at 35
cents per dozen, while the market price
at present is 75 cents. This evening
(Saturday) one of the purchasers called
at my store to buy some plumosus and
ferns to put with his flowers.
I do not grow my own stock, but buy
out of town, where I know they do not
sell in this way. The members of this
home firm have asked me several times
to buy from them. Their flowers are
good and they offer them for less money
than I pay, and I could save telephone
and express charges by so doing. But
if theirs were the only place at which
I could buy, I would drop my business.
What is your opinion on this subject?
If you can find space to print this let-
ter, perhaps we shall get the opinion of
others. At times I have put on special
sales of different things, when my
grower had a surplus. I do not feel
that this hurts my competitors any, but,
on the other hand, that it stimulates
the business and makes flower buyers
of people who would not start when
flowers were high.
I have only been in business eighteen
months, but at the present rate I could
turn this firm $1,800 or $2,000 per year
on roses and carnations alone, perhaps
ten times as much as the firm receives
from all the market stall keepers put
together. A. T. P.
The Eeview 's idea is that it would be
an act of good judgment on the part of
the correspondent to buy the locally
grown stock and thereby take it off his
market — then there wouldn't be a sur-
plus to be sold at low prices in com-
TO ENFOBCE RESPONSIBILITT.
Receiver of Merchandise Must Pay.
There are at present two law suits in
progress in the state of New York, the
outcome of which will be of great im-
portance to all in the trade, for if
those who bring the suits are successful
it imposes a duty on every purchaser to
guard himself against too liberal treat-
ment at the hands of a seller's em-
ployees, just the same as the buyer
must watch his own interests. If the
plaintiffs win it will make it unsafe for
a buyer to accept any stock not listed
in the bill; if he knowingly receives
stock not charged for on the books of
the seller he will be guilty of fraud; a
buyer may not accept favors at the
hands of the seller's agent except at
his own risk. The cases now pending
are, in brief, as follows:
Easting vs. Netsch.
A suit is pending in the supreme
court at Buffalo, W. F. Kasting Co. vs.
Charles H. Netsch, for $2,000 damages.
It is alleged that a former employee of

The Old Oaken Bucket at G>aceived by a Texas Florist
petition with him. It seems the obvious
thing to do.
Columbus, O. — After investigating
the claim of Miss Marie L. Hoar that
she was a partner in the Ohio Floral
Co., 174 South High street, Judge Dil-
lon refused to grant her application for
a receiver. The court found Miss Alice
Gill to be the owner of the business
and Miss Hoar 's connection to be in
a managerial capacity. Miss Gill will
continue the business.
the Easting concern sent flowers to the
defendant in about double the quantity
ordered, until the total was about
$4,000, This is alleged to have oc-
curred between June, 1910, and July,
1912, .During an argument, April 24,
before Justice Emery, on an application
for a bill of particulars, it was stated
by plaintiff's attorneys that the clerk
had made a full statement of his share
in the transactions. Counsel for the
defendant had asked that he be sup-
plied with details of the purchases on

which it is alleged he received flov^ers
for iess- than their actual value annd,
at the close of the hearing, JusTtice
Emery directed that the plaintiff «fur-
nish copies of invodges of the sale^ in
question. The easewill come to t rial
later.
Boddington vs. Schmidt.
In the supreme court of Westcheester
county, at White Plains, N. Y., Art^chur
T. Boddington, of New York, has in-
stituted suit against Frederick F,
Schmidt, of Mount Vernon, and Willi iam
H. Hughes, a former Boddington em-
ployee, charging conspiracy and ocon-
version, asking for damages in the ^um
of $2,500. The plaintiff alleges txhat
from April, 1905, until March, i29]2,
Hughes was in his employ in a ccijnfi-
dential capacity; that between the
above dates Hughes shipped good^ to
the value of $2,500 to Schmidt, but Wbh&t
he never made any entry of the sa«.me,
and that he suppressed the records of
the shipments.
Hughes was ordered to appear in the
supreme court March 25, to be exi^ara-
ined previous to trial before Jua»tice
Keogh. In his answer Schmidt demies
all of the allegations in the complaint
and it is contended that William H.
Hughes was at the time mentionec3 in
the complaint in the employ of the
plaintiff as superintendent of the pi ain-
tiff's business and as such had charge
thereof. Mr. Schmidt asserts that- he
paid for goods to Hughes believing •■that
his relationship was such as speciiiecarl in
the answer, and his attorney says fchat
he has every reason to believe that* he
will be able to show that Schmidt irs in
no way connected with any tran8ac~tion
•which would in any way appear to re-
veal a conspiracy.
MUST NOT USE OWN NAME - .
Judge Loring of the supreme ccuurt
at Boston has confirmed the rcportr; of
Walter F. Frederick as master, in the
suit in which Julius A. Zinn sough-rt to
restrain Zinn's Flower Shop from u^ing
that name in connection with its b»usi-
ness. The decree enjoins the usee of
the name Zinn's Flower Shop. Ji^lius
A. Zinn has carried on business on
Park street for many years, advertis-
ing as Zinn the Florist. For tw«elve
years Mrs. Olivia F. Zinn, plaintKiff's
wife, helped him in the i)usiness, tnav-
ing charge of the books and acoou-uts.
In May, 1912, they had differemees
about the management of the busit^ess,
and she remained away from the st;-iore,
September 2, 1912, Mrs. Zinn, on „ her
own account, began business on \^'est
street under the name of Mrs. 0 F.
Zinn, sending cards to the custonBiers
of the plaintiff. September 27, 191 r2, a
corporation was formed un<ler the iissirae
of Zinn's Flower Shop. Mr. Zinn fre-
quently visited the store, and adviised
his wife in matters of business, but
they later were permanently separa -ted.
It was tlien that lie brought the pressent
proceeding, to i)revent her from ussing
the words Zinn's Flower Shop, thcr«ehv,
as he claimed, diverting liusiness f rom
his store to hers.

The putty can be softened by soak-
ing in a solution of caustic soda, and by
using a putty knife most of it can be
removed. To clean the soot, shading,
etc., from the glass, scrub it with a stiff
brush, using sharp sand or Sapolio.
There is no definite rule regarding
the depth and height of the foundation
wall. If the soil is firm, a depth of
eighteen to twenty -four inches will an

desired. If there is to be glass in th(>^
side wall, it will be a good plan to
carry the concrete up to the wall plate,
or, if no glass is to be used, it might
be carried to the eave plate. This will
be much more durable than a wooden
wall and will not cost much more.
WITH NEAB-BOSTON GBOWEBS.
F. J. Dolansky.
F. J. Dolansky, of Lynn, has come to
the front the last two seasons as a suc-
cessful grower of gardenias and cat-
tleyas, and being interested iii seeing
how he grew these plants, a visit was
paid to his Lynn establishment. While
several growers around Boston have been
trying houses of gardenias for winter
flowering, the general result seems to
have been beautiful, healthy plants, but
no blooms. It is quite otherwise at Mr.
Dolansky 's. One house had just been
thrown out prior to my visit. Another
was in full crop, the flowers being large
and stems excellent, many stems carry-
ing two large buds which would open
together. A third house in solid beds
was just coming into crop and blooming
with as much apparent freedom as those
in raised benches. The late house will
give flowers until July. Houses will be
replanted from early in June until the
end of .July. Most of the young stock
is now in 2-inch pots or in the cutting
bench and will be given a shift into 3-
inch pots before planting. Mr. Dolan-
sky has been practically the only local
shipper of high grade gardenias to the
Boston market this season.
Cattleyas are grown quite extensively
here, there being some 20,000 plants in
a wide ridge-and-furrow house on a side
hill. Much of the stock is new. Some
had not been potted long, but I was im-
pressed with its cleanliness and general
vigor. Pans are mostly used and all
plants are kejit well up to the light. C.
Triana' is more grown than any other
variety. I noted some charming white
varieties in flower. Labiata also is
heavily grown. 0. Schrcedera? was just
coining into flower, while the buds on
Mossiu' and Mendolli were showing in
the sheaths. Other varieties grown are
(lasUelliana, gigas and Dowiana, this
list insuring cattleya flowers the year
around.
In addition to cattleyas and gar-
denias, quite a variety of other stock is
grown, much of it for the store in Lynn.
Carnations looked remarkably well.
Pink Delight, Gloriosa, White Wonder,
Benora, Beacon, Rosette and White En-
chantress being the varieties. White
Wonder is much preferred to White En-
chantress, owing to its continuous flow-
ering qualities. Two or three houses
are devoted to roses and these look well.
The varieties are Killarney, Dark Pink
Killarney, White Killarney, Richmond,
Taft, Ward, Kai serin and My Mary-
land. The last named is well liked as a
winter bloomer. Quantities of Easter
lilies, acacias, azaleas and other Easter
plants arc grown, while candytuft,
stocks and other Memorial day crops
were waiting for vacant benches.

The visitors to William Sim's large
and up-to-date establishment at Clifton-
dale always find much to interest them.
Everything is well grown and the

houses are kept exceedingly neat. At
the time of my visit two large houses of
sweet peas were in full crop, the stems
fifteen to eighteen inches long, with
three and four flowers to the stem. The
varieties are Florence Denzer, Christ-
mas Pink, Mrs. W. W. Smalley and
Watchung. The last named is a
dwarfer grower than the others, but
carried splendid stems. It is an excel-
lent white variety to grow where head-
room is limited. One house 400 feet
long was entirely devoted to Zvolanek's
new winter-flowering Spencers, fifty va-
rieties in all. These have the same
habit as the older winter-blooming
sweet peas and some were showing buds
wliile only eighteen inches high.
Many of the best outdoor Spencer va-
rieties are planted, including a quantity
of novelties, and the houses should be
a grand sight later in the season. The
characteristics of the true winter-
bloomers and outdoor sweet peas were
plainly to be seen here. In one house
containing both types the winter-bloom-
ers were eighteen inches high, running
right up to flower with a single stem.
On the other hand, the outdoor types
were much branched close to the ground
and only four to five inches high.
Princess of Wales violets are grown
between the sweet peas, being pulled
out as the latter shade them too much.
Some 75,000 plants of these are grown
and the work of picking and bunching
takes considerable time. Tomatoes are
grown to succeed the violets where no
sweet peas are planted and to take the
places of the earliest sweet peas, about
40,000 plants being grown, mostly of
Comet. One house contained piuisios of
superb quality. These were in evidence
at the recent New York show. The
flowers carried are simply immense.
To supplement the city water supply,
Mr. Sim some time ago sunk an ar-
tesian well 300 feet and gets a stream
of 100 gallons per minute. He keeps his
engine going night and day in the dry
season, using much of the water for
irrigating his outdoor crops in addition
to watering the greenhouses. Sweet
peas, earh- sweet corn and tomatoes are
specialties here outdoors.
It is worthy of remark that Mr. Sim
has never changed the soil in any of
his houses. Everything is, of course, on
the ground and the soil was in the first
place deeply trenched and heavily
manured. Crops, far from showing any
deterioration, are better each year. Of
course cow manure is liberally applied
and worked in before violets are
planted, and top-ilressings and liquid
manure are freely applied whenever
necessary. The rotation of crops here
seems to keep the soil in perfect condi-
tion, as sweet peas, violets and toma-
toes are one and all as clean and vig-
orous as anyone could wish to see.
Owing to the mildness of the winter,
Mr. Sim estimates he has saved .300 tons
of coal as compared with a year ago.
He has a battery of four 125 horse-
power boilers, but two of these have
been sufficient to provide the necessary
heat this season. W. N. Craig.

SCALE ON CATTLEYAS.
We notice in The Eeview many in-
teresting articles on orchids. Last year
we stocked a house with this precious
plant and now notice that there are
four different kinds of scales popping
up in different places. One form is
oval, with brown, hard shell; one is
small, round and black and white; one
is small, yellowish, and one is similar
to mealy bug. Will cyanide be effec-
tive in small doses, say one-fourth of
an ounce to 1,000 cubic feet, once a
week, or will fumigating with some nic-
otine product do the work just as wellt
We have sprayed, but not with good
results, as it is hard to get where they
are located, having the plants close to-
gether. We give plenty of air and do
not carry the house over 60 degrees at
night and about 70 degrees during the
day. We have cyanide ninety-eight per
cent pure and would like to try it,
but do not know the quantity it will
take for scale and still not injure the
plants. Your best remedy for this will
be much appreciated. K. B.
The several scales referred to can all
be overcome, but it will take a little
time to accomplish this. I have found
that Aphine as a spray will kill a large
proportion of these scales. Plants
which are badly encmsted with them
can be dipped. To get the plants thor-
oughly clean, however, I would advise
you to go over them with a sponge or
soft brush after applying the Aphine.
Once your plants are tolerably clean,
do not wait until they are again badly
infested before using remedial meas-
ures. Give a spray once a month and
you will keep the scales down pretty
well, at least where the spray is care-
fully applied.
Do not on any account use cyanide
at even the weak strength you men-
tion. You would probably kill the
scales, but cattleyas, tough as they may
appear, will not for some reason stand
fumigation with cyanide. More than
one prominent grower has proved this
to his sorrow. Nicotine fumigation is
of practically no value against scale.
The cyanide may not affect the plants
for a few weeks, but sooner or later
they will present a sorry appearance
if you use it, W. N. Craig.
J. A. NEWSHAM'S OBCHIDS.
The accompanying illustration shows
to advantage a house of Oncidium
aplendidum in bloom at the nursery of
J. A. Newsham, New Orleans, La. These
oncidiums, as well as the other va-
rieties, including phalaenopsis, dendro-
biums, Cattleya Mossise, etc., attracted
widespread attention and drew to Mr.
Newsham 's plant hundreds of admiring
visitors, among whom were many flo-
rists.
Besides his orchids, Mr. Newsham
has one of the finest calla houses in
New Orleans. A profitable branch of
his businss is cucumber growing, in
two large greenhouses. After this crop
is cut the houses will be planted with
chrysanthemums.

roses was in heavy crop. A large num-
ber of lilacs, both dwarf and standard,
prunus, pyrus, wistarias and other de-
ciduous shrubs are forced. A fine bench
of the yellow Calc^laria Stewarti was
seen.
At Larz Anderson's, where Duncan
Finlayson presides, cyclamens were
good. A beautiful batch of Primula
malacoides in pans was noted. There
were good batches of acacias, ericas and
other hard-wooded plants, including
some fine specimens. Among the
acacias, heterophylle, pubescens and
armata hybrida were noteworthy. Coro-
nilla glauca is a charming hard-wooded
plant, well liked here. In the orchid
houses a fine assortment of cymbidiums
was noted, several unique forms being
in flower. The other orchids looked
well. In the carnation houses Winsor,
Enchantress, White Enchantress and
Beacon are the favorites. The grape
and nectarine houses were started and
coming along nicely.
At E. B. Dane's, at Chestnut Hill,
there is one of the flnest collections of
orchids in America. Two divisions of
phaleenopsis were a beautiful sight, such
varieties as Eimestadiana, Stuartiana,
Schilleriana and amabilis being fine.
The main cattleya house contained
many fine hybrids in flower, in addi
tion to ordinary sorts, such as Triansc
and SchroedersB. Several houses are de-
voted to cypripediums, including prac-
tically every rare kind in commerce.
Other divisions contain Iselias, den-
drobes, odontoglossums, etc. In addi-
tion to the orchids, houses are devoted
to carnations, violets and cyclamens,
which were well done. There were two
houses which contained ericas, boronias,
acacias, genistas, cinerarias, schizanthus
and other seasonable flowers, also a
house of gardenias. Donald McKenzie
has charge of this large and well kept
range.
William Downs, at E. S. Webster's
place, has some of the finest houses on
a private estate around Boston. Here
were noted a splendid lot of cinerarias,
cyclamens, schizanthus, amaryllis, prim-
ulas and other flowering plants. A
house of gardenias looked healthy.
Other houses are devoted to orchids,
carnations, roses, palms and nectarines.
Everything here was neat and the stock
well grown.
At Mrs. J. L. Gardner's William
Thatcher's house of cattleyas and other
orchids never looked better. Here are
some of the oldest and largest camellias
to be seen in New England, while Big-
nonia venusta, streptosolens and other
climbers made a great display in one
house. Cinerarias, primulas, bulbous
plants, calceolarias, etc., are all well
grown. A hard-wooded house contained
a fine assortment of boronias, coronillas,
ericas and acacias, a number being of
quite large size.
The visitor to Prof. C. S. Sargent's
will always find much of interest. Here
soft-wooded plants are not much grown,
but, on the other hand, varieties whicB

CONGRESS CORRECTS
TARIFF MISTAKES
Plant, Bulb and Seed Schedules in Bill Now
Pending as Amended on the Floor of the House
IMPOBTANT CHANGES MADE.
Hyacinth Bulbs Advanced.
The plant, bulb and nursery sched-
ules in the tariff bill, as adopted by
the House of Eepresentatives May 1,
remedy some of the inaccuracies of
classification and definition that were
subjects of controversy and confusion
in the old law and which were reported
to the House from the ways and means
committee to be incorporated in the
new law. Several important changes
were made on the floor of the House in
the form of amendments when the sched-
ules came up for adoption.
Hyacinth bulbs are returned to their
former rate, as they stood under the
McKinley bill, and will be dutiable at
$2.50 per thousand, instead of at 50
cents per thousand, as they were rated
under the Payne bill, in which they were
classified among "other bulbs and bulb-
ous roots or corms." In the Payne
bill hyacinth clumps, which are rarely
imported, were listed with other clumps
dutiable at $2.50 per thousand, thus de-
feating the purpose of the bill, as un-
derstood at first by the trade, to place
hyacinth bulbs under that rating. The
remedy in the new bill was effected
by placing the word "bulbs" after
the word "hyacinth" in the schedule
first reported, making the duty $2.50
per thousand. It will be recalled that
this phase of the old bill was the sub-
ject of the famous Breck case, which
went through all the courts, the com-
merce court finally ruling that the items
should stand as they read.
Azaleas in Two Classes.
Another important change was ef-
fected when the general term, "aza-
leas," was made to read "Azalea In-
dica" in the classification under green-
house plants, all other azaleas being
classed as nursery stock and the rate
of duty for Azalea Indica being clearly
fixed at twenty-five per cent ad va-
lorem, with other azaleas left to come
under unenumerated nursery stock at
fifteen per cent ad valorem. The par-
agraph covering greenhouse stock was
changed to omit the words "and all
other decorative or greenhouse plants."
This leaves orchids, palms and Azalea
Indica at twenty-five per cent and in-
cludes all other greenhouse plants with
unenumerated nursery stock to be ad-
mitted at fifteen per cent ad valorem.
This removes possibility of confusion
in differentiating between greenhouse
and nursery stock. Before peony, the
word "herbaceous" was inserted, all
other peonies being classed as unenu-
merated nursery stock.
Evergreen Seedlings.
The most far-reaching change in the
horticultural schedules was made when

To Be Admitted Free.
The horticultural free list is as follows:
Seeds^-Cardamon, cauliflower, celery, cori-
ander, cotton, cummin, fennel, fenugreek,
hemp, horehound, mangelwurzel, mustard,
rape, St. John's bread or bean, sorghum,
sugar beet and sugar cane for seed; bulbs
and bulbous roots, not edible and not other-
wise provided for in this section; all flower
and grass seeds; coniferous evergreen seed-
lings, four years old or less; all the fore-
going not specially provided for in this sec-
tion.
the free list was reached. The word
"coniferous" was inserted before "ev-
ergreen seedlings," which are followed
bv "4 years old or less," making the
phrase read, "coniferous evergreen
seedlings 4 years old or less." The
result is that stock which can be de-
scribed in those words will continue to
be admitted free as under previous tariff
laws, while evergreens not seedlings, or
not coniferous in character, or of an
age of 5 years or more, will be duti-
able at fifteen per cent ad valorem as
nursery stock not otherwise provided
for. This change is one long sought by
a portion of the nursery trade and will
be of great value to the trade and to
the government. Honest importers will
be relieved of unscrupulous competition,
as the new pnraseology will make it
much easier to prevent Koster Blue
spruce, kalmias, boxwood, bay trees,
rhododendrons and many other items
being brought in free by means of
fraudulent entries as evergreen seed-
lings.
The addition of the words "Eosa
rugosa" in the paragraph covering
stocks and cuttings also will be of
great assistance as specifying unmis-
takably the rate to be paid on this item.
The government will no longer under-
take to collect 4 cents each on these,
and fraudulent entries of budded roses
as briar roses should be less easy.
Greenhouse and Nursery Stock.
Eepresentative Eainey, of Illinois,
for the committee, offered on the floor
of the House the amendments that were
made to the bill. Chairman William F.
Gude, of the tariff committee of the So-
ciety of American Florists, pointed out
to Mr. Eainey the complications that
must arise through the inaccurate clas-
sification of greenhouse plants.
No Change in Seeds.
No changes were made in the seed
schedule, the objectionable provision
for an ad valorem duty of fifteen per
cent on seeds not specially provided
for being permitted to remain.
When Mr, Eainey offered the amend-
ments to the bulb and plant schedules
Eepresentative Mann asked the occa-
sion for making them, and Mr. Eainey
replied that they had been suggested
by the Treasury Department. Mr.
Mann gave it as his opinion that, in-
stead of settling disputes over classi-
fication, as Mr. Eainey declared the
Treasury Department said they would
do, the amendments would be apt to
cause disputes.
"No," said Eepresentative Palmer.
"The gentleman does not know the
difference between dielytra and peo-
nies," said Mr. Mann to Mr. Palmer.
"I am an erpert on peonies," re-
plied Mr. Palmer.
"What is a dielytra?" asked Mr.
Mann.

~Mxx 8, 1913.
"It would take too long to educate
the gentleman," was Mr. Palmer's
answer.
It was at first proposed to strike out
the reference to greenhouse plants in
the paragraph where thev with nurs-
ery stock were dutiable at fifteen per
cent, but Mr. Mann objected to raising
the duty to twenty-five per cent on
greenhouse stock. Mr. Palmer thought
it would prevent conflict at the custom
house, but Mr. Mann declared that it
would not, because there would be
conflict whether a plant should be ad-
mitted as a greenhouse ])lant or as
nursery stock. In the debate Mr. Mann
said that he raised many plants.
Bulbs for Propagating Purposes.
Representative Humphrey, of Wash-
ington, asked that when the free list
came up the committee should put in
an amendment admitting free of duty
Holland bulbs for ]>ropagating pur-
poses. He said that near Belli ngliam,
Wash., is the only place in the United
States where bulbs are grown. The
government has a bulb farm there and
those in charge of it expect to furnish
within the next few years all of the
l»ull)s necessary for tlistribution by
Congressmen. He said he had received
many communications from people in
that section declaring that if they
could get bulbs for jiropagating free
from Holland tney could make bulb-
growing a profitable industry.
Kepresentative Underwood said he
saw no reason why this amendment
should not be made, but the commit-
tee had not had opportunity to con-
sider it and determine the effect of
such an amendment.
Representative Johnson, of Wash-
ington, read the following telegram
from the Bellingham Chamber of Com-
merce :
"Desire tariff removed from bulbs
imported for jiropagating purposes
only; commercial bulbs to florists and
greenhouses to remain as now. Impos-
sible to start bulb-growing in Wash-
ington unless mother bulbs are admitted
free. Bulbs grow nowhere in the United
States except in Whatcom county,
Washington. Expansion of commercial
bulb industry here demands removal
of tariff because jjresent tariff pre-
cludes its possibility. Should not ob-
ject to tariff being replaced in five
years. We believe it is contrary to
l)olicy of government to impose tariff
which will hinder new enterprises. Ac-
ceding to our request would not disturl)
present bulb business. ' '
When the free list was up for ado]t-
tion May .") Representative Hum|)hrey
proposed a new i)aragraph to jdace on
the free list bullts for use exclusively
for the i>urpose of i)ropagation, but it
failed.

Canterbury Bells.
A common mistalie is made by many
growers in sowing the seed of these
beautiful biennials, Canterbury bells,
too late. Every year we find growers
sowing toward the last of July or even
later, and expecting the plants to bloom
strongly the next season. A small pro-
portion will probably do so, but they
wilt never e(pml the earlier sown ones.
Canterbury bolls are handsome border
plants, but are even finer in pots, when
grown cool and gi\'en the necessary
space for their jiroper development.
Some are each year seen at Easter, but
never of the quality obtainable later in
the season. Nice ])lants may be had in
7-inch or 8-inch pots, but specimens in
12-inch and 14-incli pots or tubs, nicely
staked out, make all observers take
their hats off to the grower.s. Yet these
are not <iifticult to grow as comjmred
with many other plants.
The grower who can hit Memorial
day with a batch of these Canterbury
bells will make money on them, as they
are splendid for bouquet work, as well
as valuable in pots. To get good i>Iants
for flowering next year, sow the seed
at once, then transi)lant into flats and
later ]>lant outdoors in well manured
ground, allowing twelve inches between
the plants and twenty-four inches be-
tween the rows. For i)ot culture, dig
up anil pot about the middle of Octo-
ber. The singles are better for ]»ot
culture, and also for cutting, than
either the double or hose-in-hose va-
rieties.
Snapdragons.
The grower who wants a fall crop
of snapdragons must lose no time in
rooting some cuttings, or if he has
no stock of such varieties as the gen-
eral buying jiublic wants, he should
get some of a taking color from one
of the specialists in these charming
and increasingly popular plants. Uut-
lings rooted now and set out in straw-
berry boxes, as one good grower ad-
vises, sinking these overhead in the
rows, can be lifted with a good ball
in August when the time for ])lanting
imloors arrives. Of course, they can
be successfully lifted without any ball,
but a great deal more care is neces-
sary. Another good plan is to set the
plants in 4-inch ]iai)er pots, sinking
these in tiie soil. The j)ots will be
jiretty well dei-ayetl at lifting time,
i)ut will permit the snapdragons to be
taken up with a better ball.
Lorraine and Cincinnati Begonias.
There is still time in which to take
cuttings of Lorraine an<l Cincinnati
begonias and secure nice, salable stock
in 4-iiich and .l-inch pots or pans next
fall. The old stock plants are now
starting to grow freely and some good,
succulent cuttings are obtainable.
There is usually a surplus of the larger
sizes of these begonias at Thanks-
giving and Christmas and a deficiency
in the supply of the smaller plants.
The cuttings will root quite easily now,
where they can have some bottom
heat.
The earlier })ropagated plants from
leaf cuttings should not be neglected,
but be given a shift before the roots
get matted around the sides of the
pots. Do not give them too heavy a
soil. They thrive best in a compost
containing considerable flaky leaf -mold.
As much of this as of loam should bo
used and a good dash of sand should
be added to help keep it porous. It
is evident that Lorraines are going to
be much less grown this season, the
large s])ecialists growing Cincinnati
much more heavily than a year ago.
This is }iot surprising, as the retailers
practically tabooed the old variety
last season and wanted nothing but
Cincinnati.
Bambler Boses.
The finest rambler roses for early
forcing are those which are pot-grown
through the summer. If these have
been overlooked, it is not yet too late
to secure some jdants which have been
hell! in cold storage. Pot them up and
get stout canes for forcing next win-
ter. Ram the soil in the pots firmly
and cut down the shoots to within two
or three inches of the pot. Quite a
crop of new shoots will start from the
base, especially in the case of the pink
varieties, such as Lady Gay and Dor-
othy Perkins. Some of these should
be rubbed out, leaving five or six to
each plant as a maximum, but three or
four will suflice. Keep these roses un-
der glass for some time. When placed
outdoors, plunge them to the brims in
rich soil. Let them root through the
pots all they want. Keep them well
watered and they will make some splen-
did canes before fall.
Poinsettias.
If ])oin.settias have not yet been
started, it is time to do so. Cut back
the canes somewhat, as the plants will
then break more vigorously. Do not
water too freely, or some of the plants
are likely to rot. It is better not to
place the poinsettias in too warm a
house, as this nmkes the shoots soft.
In a moderately cool house^ nice, stocky
cuttings are produced, and these, taken
off while quite short, with a heel, will
root without much trouble. Shoots,
however, which have boon allowed to
get too long and have to be cut below
a leaf are more liable to damp off un-
less great care is exercised in water-
ing and shading.
Primula Obconica.
It is too late now to sow seeds of this
jtojiular ])rimrose. Primula obconica,
and have it in (5-inch to S-inch pots, as
is easily ])ossible with the early sown
seeds, but nice, usable jtlants in •')-
inch pots can be had by making a
sowing right away. After all, there is
fidly as much money in these smaller
jdants as in the big fellows. Small
plants can be easily made up into pans,
selecting plants of the same shade of
color. Keep the pans containing the
seed well shaded, to prevent drying
out. At this season, when the tempera-
ture from solar heat is steadily increas-
ing, there is more probability of fail-
ures in germination of primulas than
when cooler climatic conditions exist.
Port Clinton, O. — Shirly Woner is
building an addition to his greenhouses

Planting Out Asters for Seed at the Farm of James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y.
PLANTING ASTEBS FOB SEED.
When one firm finds it necessary to
employ nineteen men, a number of boys
and sixteen horses in planting asters
for seed, some new idea of the extent
of the aster industry may be obtained.
That is what James Vick's Sons, at
Rochester, N. Y., do in the spring, arid
the accompanying illustration shows a
part of their force engaged in planting
fifty acres with aster plants. The illus-
tration pictures, by a singular coinci-
dence, just thirteen men and thirteen
horses at work in the field. There were
six more men, some boys and three more
horses at work elsewhere when the pic-
ture was taken. The view gives an ex-
cellent idea of the method used in
planting for seed on a wholesale scale,
and how rapidly the work may be ac-
complished may be readily understood.
If only a fairly good harvest of aster
seed is secured from the fifty acres
planted, it would furnish seed sufficient
to set a border of asters on every state
line in the United States. It is esti-
mated that the field will grow a single
row of aster plants over 35,000 miles
long.
COLEMAN'S OUTFIT.
The accompanying illustration shows
the delivery teams of C. C. Coleman,
who is proprietor of the Arcade Floral
Co., Alma, Mich., also the end of a new
greenhouse just being erected, and some
of the packing crew. Mr. Coleman com-
bines all branches of the business,
growing vegetables as well as plants
and cut flowers.
SCIENCE AND HOBTICULTUBE.
[Extracts from a paper by Edwin Jenkins, of
r^nox, Mass., read before the Gardeners' and
Florists' Clnb of Boston.]
Is a more scientific training for those
engaged in the practice of horticulture
desirable, or is it not? My answer is
emphatically in the aflSrmative. The
profession of horticulture is on the verge
of a great change along these lines of
technical training, and, as a straw indi-
cating the way the wind is beginning to
blow, we were told at one of the greatest
agricultural and horticultural colleges
in the country that the services of every
student were engaged at good salaries
some months in advance of the date of
graduation, and that almost daily appli-
cations were coming in for trained men
to take charge of estates, of orchards
and of various forms of government
work. And the sad thing about this is,
that few of these men are fit to take the
various charges thrust upon them, but
more of this later.
Contempt for Scientific Training.
There has been and is now — though to
a less extent than formerly, perhaps —
an attitude of indifference and even con-
tempt on the part of most practical men
toward anything that smacks of science
or technical training. This is the same
kind of prejudice that formerly existed
toward all forms of labor-saving ma-
chinery. Sometimes we do not wonder
at this attitude w^ep we visit the horti-
cultural colleges oj;^£.^.Ave ^stppe-a to hire
some of the gradiM^s^ijt that does not
prove the idea of. scfeiqiific training to
be wrong, only that #h'e 'attempt to put
it into practice has bfie^'^poorly done.
As a little illustration of the prejudice
referred to, if I am correctly informed,
even among the enlightened members
of this club it was boldly asserted that
a botanist and a good grower were two
incompatible objects, and recently the
strictly scientific method of attuning
the ear to slight gradations of sound
Indicating the moisture condition of a
potted plant was held up to ridicule and
withering scorn.
Every Good Grower a Scientist.
The trouble is that there has been a
misunderstanding of what this word
science stands for; it means, as I appre-
hend it, merely "knowledge reduced to
a system," and surely no one has any
quarrel with knowledge reduced to a
system; every good grower is a scien-
tist, whether he knows it or not.
I know of no class of men who could
be more helped in their daily problems
by a scientific training than gardeners
and florists. Not a day but they are
confronted with some new or old fungoid
disease, some parasite preying upon
their plants; or it may be trouble with

THEC0N\TNTlONrrT>;
SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.
Convention City Notes.
A meeting of the advisory board was
held, with all the members of the com-
mittee present. 0. E. Critchell, Cin-
cinnati, and John Vounjj, secretary of
the S. A. F., were also in attendance.
The general situation regarding the
trade exhibit was reviewed and plans
were laid out whereby the exhibitors in
the trade section would be given suffi-
cient space by widening the aisles more
than has been done in past exhibitions
of this kind. Both the Auditorium and
the Coliseum are magnificent, large, light
halls, and all the exhibition space will
be on the'groun<l floors.
All materials for structural work will
be placed in the Coliseum. At no pre-
vious convention have there been such
favorable opportunities to make dis-
plays. The fact that the ' ' outing ' ' day
will be the fifth of the convention will
give the trade people another day for
business without having any event to
distract the attention.
But the most impressive thing was
the wonderful work that had been
accomplished by Theoilore Wirth and
others in Minnea|)olis, in conjunction
with the outdoor plant exhibition. Ad-
jacent to the Armory, where the con-
vention will he held, the surroundings
of the outdoor exhibit are naturally
beautiful and it behooves the growing
interests to give every support to this
laudable undertaking, this being the
first time when, by arrangement, the
society is in a position to guarantee the
plantsmen that their exhibits will be
cared for and grown on under every
favorable condition, having the con-
stant attention of competent help who
will be under the supervision of Mr.
Wirth.
Everything is ready for immediate
planting, but, as the space is limited,
application for it should be made at
once to Secretary John Young, who is
superintendent of the trade exhibition.
He will forward applications immedi-
ately to Mr. Wirth.
This outdoor plant exhibit will be a
success and will be one of the features
of future conventions. The price of
space is nominal — only sufficient to
cover the expense of planting and main-
tenance of the plants during the season.
Outdoor plant exhibits must be
shipped, charges prepaid, to Theodore
Wirth, superintendent of ])arks, Minne-
apolis, Minn. John Young, Sec'y.
Traer, la. — (,'urtis Thomas has pur-
chased materials for a new greenhouse,
to take the place of the house that
was recently damaged by a storm. He
will also use part of the framework
of the wrecked structure in the erec-
tion of two smaller houses.
NEMATODES IN SOIL.
I received your letter saying you
could not find any insect life in the
soil I sent you. The insects were in
the soil before I put it in the box;
what became of them I do not know. I
am sending you another sample and I
know positively that there are insects
in the box now; whether they will get
out of the package before it reaches
vou is another matter. C. P.
The only insect life found in the soil
was a considerable number of nema-
todes. The well known disease, root-
knot, is cause<l by these nematodes.
Most of the ornamental and greenhouse
])lants are more or less subject to root-
knot. The rapid multiplication of nem-
atodes is favored by a certain degree
of warmth, loose-textured soil, moisture
and food supply.
The most efficient method for the
control of nemato<les itx greenhouses
and seed be<ls is the use of live steam.
However, if the use of steam is im-
l^racticable, the old, infested soil may
be entirely removed and the benches
thoroughly cleaned out. Then soil which
has been allowed to lie through the
winter in a place where it has been
exposed to freezing and thawing or dry-
ing, may be put in its place. Nematodes
will not resist alternate freezing and
thawing, so that the new soil put in the
benches will be free from nematodes.
Old, infested soil may be treated with
a solution of formaldehyde, in the jno-
portions of one part commercial fot-
maldehyde to 100 parts of water, aiiit
the soil allowed to dry out for one to'
two weeks before using again.

WHITE FLY ON FUCHSIAS.
Kndosed you will find some leaves
of my fuchsias, with some insects on
them. Please give me the formula for
an insecticide that will destroy them.
T. F.
The fuchsia foliage is smothered with
white fly. To get absolute control of
this is difficult, outside of the use of
hydrocyanic acid gas. Spraying with
soap and water is a partial remedy and
is favored by those who are afraid to
use the gas. If you have a mixed as-
sortment of plants there will, of course,
be <langer of some being injured by the
gas, but a light dose, properly applied,
will do a minimum of harm provided the
nights selected for fumigation are cool.
If you want to use the gas, secure
some cyanide of potassium, ninety-eight
per cent pure; also some sulphuric acid.
You will also need some stone jars, as
the acid would eat away any metal
ones. The length of your house, mul-
tiplied by the breadth and this again
multiplied by the average height, will
give the space in cubic feet. Select
a cool evening for fumigating. Be sure
all ventilators are tight. Stand the
jars twenty-five or thirty feet apart, or
farther apart than this if the house is
narrow. Divide the materials into por-
tions for the jars, according to the
area and the number of jars to be used.
For each .S,000 cubic feet use one and
one-fourth ounces of cyanide, two and
one-fourth ounces sulphuric acid and
three and one-half ounces water. Place
the water first in the jars; then add
the sulphuric acid; then start at one
end of the house and drop in the cyan-
ide, wrapped in oil paper. Walk toward
the exit, drooping in the cyanide as
vou "o. Lock the door securely and
allow no one to enter until morning.

The gas is deadly to all human beings,
as well as to all forms of animal life.
The house "ean be entered with safety

newspaper reporter with reference to
Mothers' day, and the rejiort of the
interview occupied about three-quarters

]>aper for May I. In his talk Mr.
Brownewell ipade the fact clear that
the exclusive use of white carnations
for the occasion, or the exclusive use
of any other one l<,ind or color of flow-
ers, would be both impracticable and
inappropriate.

comes the owner of the Albucpierciuo
Floral Co., .ludge Raynobls having di
rected Receiver H. S. Klwood to sell

temj)ted to make his escape after de-
tection, was a gardener in poor circum-
stances and left a wife and small daugh-
ter. Mr. Wood pleaded guilty to a
charge of nianslaujjhter and Judge King
waived sentence and imposed the fine

ency for the defendant owing to the

widow of (leorge R. Geiger, has filed a
joint suit asking $20,000 damages
against the Nazareth Portland Cement
Co., Phoenix Portland Cement Co. and
Dexter Portland Cement Co., all lo-
cated within a mile of her range, which
is under lease to Johnson & Garland.
The lease expires in December and the
firm will not renew it. Mrs. Geiger
alleges that the dust from the cement
plants forms a thick crust on her 20,000
feet of glass, keeping out the sun and
stunting the growth of the plants to
such an extent that they mature too
late to be marketed at a profit. .lohn-
son & Garland claim they can not oper-
ate the range at a profit and will locate
elsewhere. Mr. .Johnson has purchased
a greenhouse at Bethlehem. Mr. Gar-
land is still at the Nazareth range, but
is seeking a locatioin.

We give them. You get them.
We both have them.
"An empty ice-box never sold any-
thing; keep it filled up," says W. E.
^ynch.
No florist can consider himself on safe
ground until he is able to discharge all
his current obligations regularly each
month.
Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the ^per.
It is well to remember that it is not
wholly the size of the business that de-
termines one's standing in the trade: the
methods by which the volume is obtained
have an important bearing.
In the big qity markets there has been
a wonderful increase this season in the
quantities of sweet peas handled. They
have sold well, although at prices averag-
ing considerably below those returned to
the growers in other years.
Where it isn't known as Mrs. Taft
the rose almost always is called "Bul-
garia," perhaps because of the popular
color fad and perhaps because it is easier
than Bulgarie to pronounce. Anyway, it
scarcely ever is called Antoine Eivoire.
The way the retailers have taken up
the Mothers' day suggestions in The Re-
view of April 24 insures another big ad-
vance for the day this year. Write The
Review May 12 telling what you did to
boost Mothers' day and how it affected
sales.
It is unfortunate that in the minds of
some men the question of the quality of
certain lots of stock depends on whether
they are buying or selling. Too many
think stock they would not buy is good
enough to sell, not pausing to consider
the damage done their standing. The
advertiser who sends out stock he would
not buy cannot hope for a repeat order.
If it is done habitually, sooner or later
he will find himself out of business
through the diflSculty of finding any
further customers.
The editor of The Review has received
an invitation to become a life member
(fee $151) of the Luther Burbank So-
ciety, chartered by the state of Califor-
nia. Membership privileges include,
among other things, the right to receive
one complete twelve-volume set of the
works of Luther Burbank^3,840 pages —
and a card of admission to the Luther
Burbank experiment farms at Santa Rosa,
entitling the member to the freedom of
the grounds and a full explanation of
the experiments being carried on. It does
not appear that the application blank
enclosed is non-transferable and, since
the editor cannot accept, he will gladly
forward it to P. O'Mara, if that gentle-
man's invitation has failed to reach him.
MOBE TROUBLE BBEWING.
A bill was introduced in the House of
Representatives, at Washington, April
28, which, if it becomes a law, will
make all kinds of trouble, especially for
such houses as those at Springfield, 0.,
and West Grove, Pa., that do an enor
mous business in mailing plants. The
present law calls for the use of the
inspection certificate in connection with
all mail shipments of nursery stock, and
that would seem to be enough. The
proposed measure is as follows:
A BILL
To provide for the inspection of any parcel sent
by mall which contains fruit, plants, trees,
shrubs, nursery stock, grafts, scions, peach,
plum, almond, or the pits of other fruits,
cotton seed or vegetables at point of dellver.v
in any post office of the United States that
requests such inspection and where the requi-
site inspectors are provided by the states to
perform such service.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled. That it shall be unlawful
for any postmaster or postal clerk to receive any
parcel containing fruit, plants, trees, shrubs,
nursery stock, grafts, scions, peach, plum,
almond, or the pits of other fruits, cotton seed
or vegetables to be sent by mall except that
the same be plainly labeled, which label shall not
only give the character of the parcel, but also the
name of the person who produced it and place
where grown, if possible; also the name of the
sender. It shall also be unlawful for any post-
master or postal clerk to deliver at any post
office In any state any parcel containing fruit,
plants, trees, shrubs, nursery stock, grafts, scions,
peach, plum, almond, or the pits of other fruits,
cotton seed or vegetables until the same has been
inspected by a regularly appointed fruit inspector
provided by the state, and it shall be the duty
of the postal officers to apprise said fruit in-
spectors of the presence of such parcels. It shall
also be unlawful for any postmaster or postal
clerk to deliver such parcel until it is released
by such regularly appointed fruit Inspector, who
certifies that it is free from injurious Insects and
injurious fungi. In case any state desires in-
spection at destination. It shall be divided Into a
reasonable number of inspection districts, to be
determined by the joint action of the Agricultural
Department and the state authorities, and that in
each of such inspection districts there shall be
designated a point of inspection, and that all
nursery stock coming through the malls shall be
routed through such inspection point and there
subject to inspection prior to reshlpment to
destination, and in this case. Immediately after
inspection, the parcel shall be carefully re-
wrapped and remailed to the consignee in case
it is free from pests, and otherwise treated and
destroyed as the state officials shall direct.
The bill was referred to the commit-
tee on agriculture.
CHICAGO.
The Great Central Market.
The local market is much easier than
it has been for the last three weeks
and prices have fallen all along the
line. Roses are in extremely large
supply and fine stock can be had in
quantity at moderate prices. The de-
mand has been fairly strong for the
season, but clean-up sales have been
possible only at buyer's offer. Cooler
weather and the approach of Mothers'
day, it is hoped, will strengthen the
rose market.
Carnations have been good property,
but at the close of last week and the
opening of the present one prices were
distinctly easier. May 2 one house
shipped 28,000 on a department store
order. A stiff market for white is as-
sured for the close of the week, and
a fair market for colors, as Mothers'
day orders are heavy. The supply of
white is practically booked up to the
anticipated cut. The quality of the
stock has been impaired by unseason-
ably warm weather. Enchantress espe-
cially seems to be soft.
Bright weather has prevailed and
Beauties have been cut more freely in
the last week than for the ten days
previous. The quality in some cases
is not so good as the ones that were
Max 8. 1013.

HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN GET
BUTTERFLY
THE FINEST OF ALL SWEET PEAS
HESE are the true spring-blooming Spencers^ and It is the same stock that made such a
big hit with the trade last season— really, if YOU use our Butterfly Peas and ''the other
fellow" uses ANY others, you will find them the biggest advertisement you have had in
many a day. We have large supplies of fancy, long-stemmed Butterfly Peas in White, Pink
and Lavender; moderate supplies of several other colors. Order some today. They ship well.
FANCY ROSES
Our Stock Has a National Reputation
To be known as handling Amling's Boses means that your store has the
reputation of handling the best quality stock. You will find also that our
Roses carry larger and finer heads, length for length of stem, than any you
have had from other sources. We have a full line. Special attention should
be called to our Mrs. Ward. There is no other Rose in such strong demand.
We have the largest supply to be foimd anywhere in America.
BEAUTIES
None Better Ever to Be Had
Our Beauties are famous all over the country — there never are any bet-
ter Beauties than Amling's, and the steadiness of our supply is as notable as
is its quality. The spring crop is just coming on, and these are about the
best Beauties of the year. They are trade-builders. Use them.
SNAPDRAGON
Something Your Trade Will Like
Any retailer who has a call for out-of-the-ordinary work should use our
Snapdragon. When this stock is used by a man who knows how, it never
fails to make a hit. Long stems, beautifully flowered. Can supply other
colors, but are especially strong on pink, the true Eillarney shade. It works
up splendidly. Put a vase of it in your show window and listen to the com-
ments. It will sell.
CARNATIONS
Consider Quality Before Price
At this season of the year the wise buyer will give quality even more
careful consideration than in cooler weather. With Carnations it is especially
true that it is what you get and not what you pay that determines value.
Amling's Carnations will give you best satisfaction, especially if you order
the better grades.
EASTER LILIES
You Always Can Get Them Here
You can get here all the Lilies you need, for work and for decorations.
We have arranged for a large spring crop, the first of which is just coming
in. A steady supply.

cut a fortnight ago, when the crops
were on in full. Nevertheless there are
plenty of good ones to be had, and for
these the wholesalers can realize only
fair returns. Local lilacs have ar-
rived on the heels of the first from the
downstate shippers, but there is no
great demand for this usually popular
spring flower. Much 'of the stock is too
poor to sell at any price. Snapdragon is
plentiful and is moving fairly well. The
first peonies have arrived, Old Red,
and by the end of the week this flower
■will begin to be a market factor. Span-
ish iris is in big supjdy, so much above
demand that the wholesalers cannot
clean up and have much trouble making
a satisfactory average; returns are much
below last year. Easter lilies are al-
most in oversupply and there are
more than enough callas to meet the
demand. Valley is in the usual request
and the prices hold firm. Sweet peas
are arriving in tens of thousands and
they naturally command no advanced
figures. The heat hurt the color last
week, but otherwise they are fine. The
Butterfly peas are now in good supply
and are selling well, but in the week
preceding May 6 there was scarcely
anything that "cleaned up at full prices.
Even cattleyas are more plentiful, the
first locally grown gigas having made
their appearance this week. When
these are abundant it makes it difficult
to sell other varieties. Bulbous stock
<'ontinues to come in abundantly. There
are many tulips, but they are not es-
]>ecially good and sell cheaply. Jon-
quils, on the other hand, are fine, but
the season of best demand has passed.
Poets sell better, if at low prices, as
not so many are seen.
Various Notes.
April was an unusually favorable
month for cut flower production. The
mean temperature was 3 degrees above
normal, while the hours of sun were
sixty-nine per cent of the possible, a
full nine per cent more than the aver-
age for April. The rainfall was only
about two-thirds the normal for the
month.

The Market.
The trend of the wholesale cut flower
market has been downward during the
last week. The extremely hot weather
added seriously to the depression. For
early May no such temperature has
been experienced- here in a long time.
The official thermometers registered 90
degrees May 3. ' Roses, especially,
showed the effects of the heat, which
has not abated, and another dull week
is anticipated.
The retail business last week was
satisfactory. Many notable weddings,
dinners and funerals kept the major-
ity of retail houses busy, and there was
little complaining. The quality of all
roses is naturally deteriorating. Amer-
ican Beauties seem especially to feel
the strain. Prices for Beauties are
falling and in quantities these and
other varieties can be bought far be-
low the regular quotations. There is
now an oversupply of Killarneys,
Maids and Marylands. The clean-up
on these varieties is made at heavy
concessions. Carnations have held up
fairly well in price, doubtless in an-
ticipation of Mothers' day, when a
wide demand and steady quotations at
good figures are assured. Some good
stock of the novelties reaches the mar-
ket daily. Valley is abundant, and
prices are lower. Longiflorum also took

a drop, and 6 cents is the top price at

downward. Outdoor-grown lilac is al-
ready a drug and every wholesale house
is overrun with it. There is an abun-
dance of tulips, stocks, sweet peas and
spring flowers of every kind, and plenty
of gladioli, iris, narcissi, daffodils and
daisies for all requirements. Gar-
denias are not up to the mark in qual-
ity and sell slowly. There are more
cattleyas arriving than the market can
digest with profit to growers and the
surplus at times is unprecedented. Im-
portant weddings announced for this
week are expected to relieve the sit-
uation.
Various Notes.
Mothers' day, Sunday, May 11, and
the Saturday preceding promise every-
where to be red letter days to the
trade, especially to those retailers hav-
ing the enterprise to feature the cele-
bration as it deserves. Many are al-

lic with the significance of the anni-
versary.

The Market.
Flowers are accumulating and clear-
ances are not easily made. There is
really no scarcity in any line. We have,
had some exceedingly warm weather
and this has caused the deterioration in
quality, while demand has been far
from brisk. Eoses are in heavy over-
supply and large quantities are handled
by the street fakers. Some excellent
long-stemmed Beauties and Russells are
seen, and the demand has been fair for
Tafts and the yellow varieties. The
hot weather has hit the carnations
badly and quality is on the down grade.
Top-notch flowers may realize $3, but
many go down at one-third this price
or even less.
The supply of narcissi of the yellow
trumpet section is about over, but there
are plenty of ornatus and medium
trumpet flowers. Tulips are still plenti-
ful, but there is little call for them.
Spanish iris is good, and quite a few
gladioli, such as Peach Blossom and
Blushing Bride, are coming in. Valley
is in oversupply, and so are lilies, callas
and stocks.
Marguerites, which generally sell
well, are hard to move, and only the
best selected snapdragons sell well.

The warm weather has increased the
output of gardenias and cattleyas, but
the demand for these is indifferent.
Sweet peas are good, but even of these
there are too many poor, short-stemmed
flowers, which go slowly. Asparagus is
plentiful and smilax scarce, while adi-
antum is in good supply.

The Bising Eastern Market.
The strength of the market so late
in the season as the first week in May
is gratifying. Carnations are particu-
larly strong, fine whites bringing high
prices readily, while all good carna-
tions are in demand. Some say there
are fewer flowers, owing to the open
winter; others that the cool weather,
now past for the time being, has en-
couraged buying, while others assert
that the publicity campaign is bear-
ing fruit. Roses have not fared so
well. The supply has been enormous
since the arrival of the warm wave, yet
even roses have done better than usual
at this time. .Beauties have been in
strong demand at fair prices, while
white roses have also had good sup-
port. The Spencer, or orchid-flowering,
or Butterfly sweet peas have arrived.
They bring advanced prices. Good
sweet peas of the wintering sorts are
still having an excellent season. Peonies
from the south are here; in fact, the
early red officinalis is already over.
Festiva Maxima and several good whites
and pinks are in their prime. Both the
large-flowered and the baby gladioli
are features of the market. Cornflower
from indoors has come. Snapdragon is

So far the season is about two weeks ahead
of last year and if it continues so, it will mean

Fox praised the National Flower Show
at New York. Mr. Pierson asked if
Philadelphia members would support a
show here and Mr. Fox said he thought
they would. The meeting favored the
proposition to hold the next National
Flower Show in this city. A commit-
tee was appointed to ask the park com-
mission to install a rose garden in Fair-
mount park.
The Use of the Pansy.
I am indebted to Paul Berkowitz for
a little bit of information that may be
«f interest. Mr. Berkowitz says that
Henry Penn, the well known Boston
florist, makes up beautiful baskets of
cut flowers, using pansies in combina-
tion with other flowers. The difliculty
with the pansy has been that it is frail
and easily wilts, rendering it unsafe to
use in this way. Mr. Penn solves the
problem by putting little glass tubes in
the moss with which the baskets are
filled. These tubes, placed at different
heights to give variety, are filled with
water, then paper-covered, and a pansy
is slipped into each. The other flowers
and greens are inserted in the moss in
the usual way. Some beautiful effects
are obtained by these pansy combina-
tions.
The Demonstrating Boom.
John P. Habermehl led the way to
a second story room immediately over
the flower shop in the Bellevue-Strat-
ford hotel. The room was well lighted
and cheerful, commanding a view of
"Walnut street from its bay-window. It
was handsomely furnished, contained
large portfolios, an easel, pictures, a
handsome center table and a few, not
too many, chairs. This room is an ab-
solute necessity to J. J. Habermehl 's
Sons. Here the many wonderful — ^1
use the word advisedly — decorations are
first planned and then sketched, of ttimes
in color, before they are put into ex-
ecution. The host of a ball or any
other form of entertainment can tell
exactly how every detail will be car-
ried out beforehand, nothing being left
to chance. The business-like precision
that marks all the dealings of the firm
is carried into the field of decoration to
the no small satisfaction of the pros-

The Publicity Campaign.
Charles Henry Fox, chairman of the
publicity committee of the Retail Flo-
rists' Association, is actively pushing
educational flower and plant notices in
the daily papers. The advantages of
.flowers as gifts, what to take honie,
^ what to send "her," the proper thing
for a blonde, the proper thing for a
brunette, and other matters of moment
are carefully expounded. The latest
eflfort is on Mothers' day. The attempt
is being made to divert attention from
the white carnation. It is sagely urged
that everybody's mother is not for
white carnations, so mother's favorite
flower, whatever that may be, is much
more appropriate to wear. Of course,
if successful, this effort will remove
professional heart-burnings that come
from unfilled orders and advanced prices
due to everybody wanting ever so many
more white carnations than anybody
can possibly supply.

tract for outdoor decorations at Seventh

for freight reduced is only proper
economy. The same way with the ex-
press companies; we are continuously
overcharged on those lines. The re-
dress carried through for us by the
S. A. F. some years ago, against the
express companies, was a short-lived
victory, as the express companies in-
side of a year were, in most places,

The Press Bureau.
The daily press goes unchallenged
when it comes out and tells the flower-
buying public that prices for Easter,
or other holidays, on roses and other
flowers, are going to be high and that
only millionaires can afford them. Such
nonsense! There is where a press bu-

ciety. Just a few days ago I received
a communication telling in what shape
the tariff on plants is at the present
time. In many respects it was simply
ridiculous the way it was worded. This
should have been taken care of by our
society. Sometimes it has taken care
of it through some of its most inter-
ested members, who spent their time
and money to work for the interests
of our profession. But we cannot al-
ways ask these men to do this without
the proper recompense. This time it
seems it has passed over — nobody has
paid any attention to it — and this
ridiculous tariff will go on for another
period.

words, we have all the same interest
— tioriculture is our boat. It doesn't
matter if one is a cut flower or a plant
grower, a retailer or a commission man,
our aim is to advance this boat with as
little friction or damage as possible,
as by this time it has grown to large
proportions; in fact, so large are its
proportions that it often is rubbing its
sides or running into the mud. We
are today in the same fix with our boat,
floriculture, as the first great steam-
boat was, the Great Eastern, years
ago. I think it was about 800 feet long,
but it lacked powerful engines and
steering gear to make it a success.
The Trade's Engine.
Twenty-seven years ago, when this
boat of floriculture was a youngster,
soine of our best captains then put a
new and most up-to-date set of engines
and steering gear into it, called the
S. A. F. It then, and for several years
after, did its work well. But as this
boat of floriculture has grown so large,
and steering gear and engines have not
increased in the same proportion, its
rudder of twenty-seven years ago is
not able to keej) us straight, an<l we
get bruised and run into the mud. Wo
need larger machinery and steering
gear, which means memborship and
money. Without larger membership and
increased funds, our national society
cannot do us much good along the lines
I have mentioned, and others. In fact,
what little the S. A. F. has done has
been done mostly through the gener-
osity and earnest desire of some of its
most loyal members, at , their own ex-
pense of time an<l money.

No Objection Whatever.
Fellow members, we have a national
society, which, if properly backed up
by the majority of the men in our pro-
fession, could give us splendid results.
But we must not stand pat; we must
all be willing to do our little share in
this crusade for the regeneration of
our national society. The florists'
clubs all over the country are the off-
spring of the national society. They
are ail strong and in a healthy finan-
cial condition. There should be no ob-
.jection whatever to giving back to our
national society what is actually her
due. It will strengthen, not only the
S. A. F., but the florists' clubs all over
the country as well. Nobody who has
the least idea of the importance of our
lusiness should have any objection to
paying $1..'50 a year to be a member of
the S. A. F. We should have no trou-
ble whatever in making it the strong-
eat commercial horticultural society in
the world, able to take care of its mem-
bers, and by so doing solving many con-
ditions which, at the present time, are
perplexing.
I know it is uphill work. President
Wilson, in his last week's speech at
Trenton, said: "It takes courage for a
handful of men to start a battle." I
hope that all of you members of the
Philadelphia Florists' Club will be with
me, will be that handful of loyal men
to do our best to bring about a larger
and more useful national society, worthy
of the great cause it stands for.

florists the book will be still more
useful.
Of course it is not a cyclopedia of
horticulture, even on the smallest scale;
it is not bulky enough to contain cul-
tural directions or descriptions of va-
rieties, except such descriptions as are
embodied in brief definitions. It is
simply a book of definitions. And it
does not define the first word of varie-
tal names, but the following words, the
words that distinguish varieties from
one another. For instance, in the
names Asparagus plumosus and Phlox
subulata, the book gives the meaning
of "plumosus" (feathery or plumed),
and of "subulata" (awl-shaped), as
these are the words that differentiate
that particular sort of asparagus and
that particular sort of phlox from other
varieties in the same genus. But the
user of the book would hunt in it in
vain for the word "asparagus" or
"phlox." And, as the author states in
the preface, "complimentary names of
persons given to plants have been
omitted."
In using the dictionary it will be
helpful to bear in mind that the Latin
adjectives have different endings, to
correspond with the supposed gender
of the plant or shrub or tree referred
to. For in Latin, as in some other

languages, both ancient and modern,
inanimate things are not necessarily
neuter, but may have any one of the
three genders, masculine, feminine or
neuter, for various clear or hazy rea-
sons. In the dictionary the adjectives
generally have the masculine ending,
which is most frequently "us," as in
"plumosus," but the word under consid-
eration— the word that the user of the
book wishes to find — may have a fem-
inine ending, as in "plumosa" (Cocos
plumosa, for example), or a neuter end-
ing, as in "callosum" (Cypripedium
callosum), or another form of the
neuter ending, as in "insigne" (Cypri-
pedium insigne). "Insigne," by the
way, has a form "insignis," which is
either masculine or feminine, and there
are many words the masculine form of
which ends in "r," as in "acer," and
even with these the tiresome list of
terminations is not quite terminated.
Now, even if a florist is not well ac-

their heating system; or some physical
condition of their soil may bother them,
or a thousand and one other things, all
of which they would be able to meet and
combat more intelligently if they had a
fair grasp of natural causation, or the
why and the wherefore of things.
Science Practically Applied.
A grasp of the rudiments of plant
physiology would enable the grower to
treat the various diseases of his plants
more intelligently and to appreciate
something of what happens when a plant
becomse too dry or too wet. A little
knowledge of chemistry, so as to know
the essential elements of plant nutrition
and what the various commercial fer-
tilizers contain, would enable him to buy
more understandingly and might per-
haps teach him that excessive nitrogen
tends to luxuriant foliage at the expense
of fruitfulness and floriferousness. It
should help him to know the simple test
with blue litmus paper as to the acidity
of his soil, and might prevent him from
making such mistakes as planting rhodo-
dendrons in an alkaline or limy soil.
Some geological knowledge would be
helpful in selecting a locality for special
purposes.
A grounding in natural science would
teach him that the slope or pitch of his
greenhouse roof has an important bear-
ing on the amount of light that reaches
his plants and that it is these chemical
rays that enable the plants to digest and
utilize their food. Natural science would
also show him that this most desirable
slope varies with every degree of lati-
tude that we travel, north or south, and
would give him an idea of the laws
governing the circulation of the water

pr steam in his heating apparatus, as
well as the circulation of air currents
in his greenhouse and the possibilities
of stagnation in certain parts of it.
The Dew Point in Oreenhouses.
Physics is a subject worthy of his
careful study. In 'connection with this
I was talking some few years ago with
one of your members, a prominent rose
grower, on the desirability of finding
some easy way of getting at the dew
point in greenhouses, as we were both
of the opinion that cutting-bed fungus
and some other diseases are the re-
sult of an overcharge of atmospheric
moisture, but on my own part I failed
to find means to this end, until a year
or so ago 1 ran across an instrument
called Lloyd's .hygrodeik, designed in
Boston and manufactured in Rochester,
N. Y. This hygrodeik is nothing more
than the old wet and dry bulb ther-
mometer, with this important difference,
that it is fitted with a chart and a
pointer, whereby, with a few movements
and readings, the dew point is easily dis-
covered. It appears from some records
which I kept during the month of May
in a rose house, with ideal growing
weather, that a diflference of four de-
grees between the wet and dry bulb
(the wet bulb, of course, being lowest)
is about the correct amount of moisture
for good growing. This gives a rela-
tive humidity of about eighty-five per
cent of saturation. Comparing this with
a steam-heated dwelling house, I found
there the humidity was from thirty to
forty per cent, which I believe is too low
for good health.
Scientific Breeding.
After this slight digression, let me
enumerate a few more of the advantages
to be gained by scientific training. Take
the. matter of scientific breeding, an art
of the greatest potential possibilities
and better known of late as Mendelism.
How many thousand carnations, for in-
stance, have been discarded because
they were single or overdouble bursters
from the first cross! Yet, had these
two worthless types been bred together
they would have produced in a definite

mediate type, or florists' carilation. The
same holds good in the breeding of many
other kinds of plants.
Much more might be said on this over-
whelmingly interesting subject of Men-
del's law and the benefits that I think
might be obtained from a more scien-
tific training for gardeners and florists,
but I must pass on to another phase of
the subject, namely: How is this de-
sired end to be reached? My answer is,
through the horticultural colleges, but
first they must be brought up to a much
higher state of eflSciency than at present.
Suggested Beforms in Teaching.
The first radical reform that I would
suggest is, that no student should be
admitted for training who has not pre-
viously had three years of practical
experience, and then, having reached
college, his training should take a mure
strictly scientific course than at present.
Students should not go to colleges sup-
ported by the state to learn to prick out

worked up. Further, I would separate
the purely experimental from the teach-
ing branch and this experimental branch
should be responsible to a state board of
horticulture, included in which should
be at least three expert, practical horti-
culturists, who would be sure to know
of all the new problems with which
growers are confronted from day to day,
and they should suggest to the experi-
menters some of the lines of work to
be carried on. Beyond all this, and
perhaps of most importance, I would
recommend paying much higher salaries
to all those engaged as professors in the
colleges, so as to attract the right class
of men, the pay they receive now being
no higher than that of good mechanics.
Oovemment Besearcli Work.
In addition to this, liberal sums should
be appropriated for carrying on the re-
search work, as in no other way can this
important branch be of much service.
The importance and value of this work
are shown by the fact that by careful
breeding and selection the Cornell sta-
tion has obtained a variety of timothy
grass that yields one ton more per acre
than any of the varieties in commerce,
and when we consider that the hay crop
of the state of New York is worth over
one hundred million dollars annually
the immense value of this acquisition is
easily seen. Another important experi-
ment which they told me of on a recent
visit is the selection of potatoes with
a view to increasing their productivity.
I ventured the opinion that the good of
this experiment would be vitiated by the
fact, as I believed it, that all plants
propagated otherwise than by seed
would deteriorate sooner or later. The
professor would not agree with me in
this, and it is possible that when the
yield has been raised to the limit by
selection of tubers, then, by raising from
seed, this character of productiveness
may be fixed, especially if that much
debated question oe settled in the affir-
mative, as to whether acquired charac-
teristics are transmitted to offspring.
Please do not interpret anything that
I have said as implying any disrespect
to the gentlemen in charge of the experi-
ment stations and horticultural colleges.
I have nothing but the highest respect
for them, as men doing their best, often
under the most discouraging and adverse
conditions. They are hampered for lack
of funds and for lack of room; still, I
have always found their courtesy unfail-
ing. And it is for all of us, by agitation
and by instructing our representatives
in regard to the tremendous importance
of this work to the community, to bring
about as early as possible the means
whereby those who wish can obtain a
really scientific training in the oldest
and noblest and most essential of all
the arts, the art of cultivating the soil
and improving its products.

I^HIS department for the cards of Lead-

who have the facilities' for filling the
orders sent them by other florists— has

ment of this branch of the business, a
branch of the trade now established for
all time and so helpful that its volume
will keep on increasing for many years.
Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? You can send your
share (and make 20 per cent profit with-
out effort) if you let your customers
know you can perform this service for
them. To receive your share— well, The
Review's department for Retailers' cards
remains the one way of getting prompt
action on the order in hand.
To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is for

Gentlemen:
During the past year I paid you $18.20 for a
half inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department
of The Review. T received through this small advertisement,
from January 1, 1913, to December 31, 1913, orders to the
amount of $566.00. They came by mail and telegraph from
Hew York to San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis.
Since I allowed the senders 20^, the record is as follows:
Total value of orders
Less 20f> allowed senders..
Net value of orders.
$566.00
313.20
452.80
Here is an addition of $452.80 in business which
could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of
only $18.20.
Since my advertisement appeared only in The Review
it goes to show what the retail florists through the country
lose if they do not use this medium of advertising. It also
goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big "P*
but that it has three more big "R's" - Readers - Reliability

WICHITA,
The Southwestern Market.
The week ending May 3 found the
market in a crowded condition. The
five wholesale markets had more stock
each day than they could dispose of,
though business at the leading retail
stores was said to be good every day
in the week, with plenty of funeral
orders to work up. The splendid
weather conditions during the week
brought out the flowers in large quan-
tities, both indoors and outdoors.
There was an abundance of roses of
good quality, the bulk of them being
Killarneys. The prices in all grades
were decidedly reasonable. Carna-
tions, too, arrived in big lots daily
from local growers. The best sellers
are the Enchantress varieties, the
Wards, Beacon and Sangamo. Sweet
peas were still of excellent quality and
a great many more came in than the
wholesalers could dispose of. There

were also a great many long, fancy-
Beauties, which reached $4 per dozen
for the choice flowers. Callas, too,
were overplentiful, but Easter lilies
were just about equal to the demand.
There was plenty of both outdoor
and indoor valley; fancy indoor valley
brought $4 and outdoor stock $1 per
hundred. Fancy French lilac and com-
mon lilac both sold well. Iris was fine.
A good grade of Gladiolus America was
coming in and brought $12.50 per hun-
dred stalks. Miniature gladioli went
at $5 per hundred. Fancy greens of all
kinds were plentiful.
The greenhouse men expect to put in
a busy week planting out, as the
weather for some days has been like
summer.

A. G. Greiner, our cactus specialist,

has greatly increased during the last
year.
Henry Longfellow has been added to
the Smith force and Paddy Patton has
lost his title as "the poet."
Phil Goebel and Adolph Ahner are
first in with extra fine blooms of Amer-
ica gladioli, which are bringing top
prices at the wholesale market.
Robert Thomson & Co., the local
greenhouse builders, say they will have
a busy season, judging from advance
contracts.
William Schray & Sons and Charles
Beyer, whose greenhouse ranges are
among the largest in the south end, say
they will start planting out this week.

good supply. The warm weather will
soon have its effect, however, on the
roses and carnations. The florists are
looking forward to a large sale of
carnations for Mothers' day, and are
preparing for it.
Various Notes.
The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. is cut-
ting lots of good stock and selling it
all.
Julius Niednagel & Sons are having
an immense cut of carnations and other
flowers. P. Hopman, the rose man for
this firm, expects to leave June 1 for
a three months' vacation and will visit
his people in Holland.
C. L. Niednagel is building another
house, which will be used for propa-
gating purposes when needed. He is
cutting some fine long-stemmed Amer-
ican Beauties and other roses.
Ben Kramer is having an excellent
trade and is using lots of roses and car-
nations.
Henry Seymour's carnations are a
little off crop at present. Business at
his place is good.
Louis Fritsch says business is first-
rate. He has purchased a fine looking
horse for delivery use.

Centralia, Ore. — E. T. Barnes, retir-
ing president of the Western Dahlia &
Gladiolus Association, at Spencer, Ind.,
has leased a five-acre tract here on
which he will establish branch gardens
to handle the Pacific coast trade of the
firm.
Tacoma, Wash. — The city's largest
rose garden, with 1,200 plants of sev-
enty-three varieties, has sprung into
life at Point Defiance park under the
supervision of Geo. A. Hill, superin-
tendent of parks. Mr. Hill has placed
each plant in the one place where its
color will harmonize with the general
effect of his scheme.
McMinnville, Ore. — Herbert &
rieishauer are drilling a well on their
property, having failed to get an ade-
quate supply in dug wells. In case they
can get an abundant flow by piercing
the rock which underlies their field
at a depth of 150 feet, they will con-
siderably increase their acreage of as-
ters for cut flowers and especially for
seed.
Reno, Nev. — Fred J. Fischer and G. C.
McDonald recently visited San Fran-
cisco to purchase stock for the opening
of Mr. Fischer's new store, on Virginia
street. Mr. Fischer closed his former
store a few months ago, but is now re-
suming business in a larger establish-
ment.
Modesto, Cal. — Articles of incorpora-
tion have been filed for the Modesto
Spineless Cactus Co. The capital stock
is $25,000, $15,000 of which has been
subscribed. The directors are L. L.
Dennett, a prominent attorney here; E.
H. Zion, also a lawyer, and M. F. Hop-
kins. The company is incorporated for
the production and sale of both the
fruit and forage varieties of the Bur-
bank spineless cactus.
LOS ANOELES, CAL.
The Market.
Business slumped considerably during
the last part of April and early in May,
and the large quantities of stock coming
to the market caused more or less of a
glut. But that this is only temporary
is shown by the inquiries at the prin-
cipal wholesale houses for deliveries of
stock later, when school commencements
and June weddings will be in full swing.
Growers have begun to throw out and
replant roses, and this will help the
sale of outdoor stock, while the bulbous
and spring flowers are practically over.
The cold-foot brigade is already shout-
ing hard times, but this is a frequent
occurrence and nobody pays much atten-
tion to it. Only a little stock has gone
to waste, and if retailers would give a
little more heed to the straws that pro-
verbially show the direction of the wind,
there would be still less waste. Greens
of good quality have kept up well in
price, notwithstanding the large amount
of stock handled. Pot plants are less
plentiful, but the demand is not great.
Santa Monica Flower Show.
At Santa Monica recently the first
flower show of the Santa Monica Bav
Woman's Club was held in Columbia
hall. As was to be expected, the ar-
rangements made for the staging of the
exhibits were a little amateurish, but
this is a condition that will right itself
another year, while the quality of the
flowers shown was excellent. A brisk
competition was brought out, especially
in the rose classes, and the other flowers
were not far behind.
The stage front was entirely occupied
by the exhibit of Walter Armacost &
Co., of Ocean Park, who put up a group
of fine flowers that would have been a
credit to any show, large or small. Espe-
cially fine were the Beauties and other
roses and the lily of the valley, though
all were good and it is difficult to make
comparisons. Mr. Armacost worked
bard for the benefit of the club and the
show, and the many encomiums passed
on his work showed it was appreciated.
In the booths put up by ladies of the
town the judges had hard work in decid-
ing which were best, a fact that should
go far to soften the disappointments
often felt by those who do not obtain
recognition. The judges were P. D.
Barnhart, H. R. Eichards and D. Mur-
doch. C. E, Morton, of the Los An-
geles Flower Market, took the judges
down in his car. All were entertained
in the best style.
Various Notes.
Morris Goldenson has been getting a
good share of the funeral work of late
and many fine pieces have been sent out.
Some exceedingly' good lavender sweet
peas have been handled here.
H. Eeeve Darling 's policy of advertis-
ing and giving good value to customers
is bearing fruit. Though trade was
quiet in town on a recent Saturday,
over 2,000 roses were cleaned up at pop-
ular prices. This is good work, worthy
of emulation.
Gus Swenson, formerly with Mrs. Gar-
rett, at Eagle Eock, has taken the place
run for some years by J. B. Menasco
and is growing roses, chrysanthemums
and other stock for cut flowers.
C. Kooyman, of Hogan, Kooyman &
Co., Oakland, has been calling on the
trade' in this city and vicinity.

business a little slow outside the city,
but he is keeping up fine stock. A
nursery department is to be added.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Knopf left April
25 for a silver wedding trip through the
orange belt, spending a few days with
old friends among the orange blossoms
at this delightful season. Mr. Knopf
says: "This is in lieu of the wedding
trip in which we were not able to in-
dulge a quarter of a century ago. ' ' All
who know him will join me in hoping
that he will still be in California when
his golden wedding trip is due and that
he and Mrs. Knopf will • enjoy that as
well as they have this one.
During the time of the Ocean Park
fire, some months ago, there were many
signs among the ruins with such legends
as: "Business will be started again in
a few days. ' ' That put up by Walter
Armacost read: "We have not quit
business," and there you have the man.
Practically everything was lost, for
even the stock carried out was dam-
aged, but now he has opened his new
store, and it is a far better and more
up-to-date one than the one that was
burned. The interior is finished in mis-
sion style, with everything for conven-
ience. Downstairs is a large work-
room and shipping department, with
everything necessary. The store is
directly opposite a large new hotel that
is being erected right in the center
of the new and greatly improved Ocean
Park that is rising from the ruins of the
old one. Mr. Armacost intends to keep
up the store he has been running at
Venice during the process of rebuilding.
Splendid stock and plenty of it is
the order of the day at Wright 's Flower
Shop, where business seems always
brisk.
"Snooping around" is the unfeeling
way in which some people describe my
habit of looking into things, but I am
incurable, anyway. When I saw the ad-

SAN FEANOISCO, CAL. - -
The Market.
The weather is neither too warm nor
too cold, and everything favors quan-
tities of blossoms. Never has there
been in the history of San Francisco
a better showing of seasonable flowers
than at this time. Although the bulb
crop is almost limited to Spanish iris and
gladioli, there are a few late tulips
and a few daffodils still to be seen.
Violets are completely over for the sea-
son and the same can be said of free-
sias, narcissi and lilacs. A few of the
later varieties of fruit blossoms stilf
show, but they are past their prime.
Inside stock such as roses and carna-
tions is not as plentiful as last week,
but it is still sufficiently heavy to be
very cheap. It would be misleading to
attempt to give prices on carnations.
The growers usually tal^e what is of-
fered, and when the stores have been
supplied the street hucksters take the
balance for almost any price. Boses,
however, hold their own somewhat bet-
ter. The moderately cool days and
nights of the last two weeks have kept
the crop from swamping the market.
As a consequence, there have been no
serious breaks for the last few days.
Sweet peas are cheaper, but they are
not overplentiful. The extreme dry-
ness everywhere has made it dif-
ficult to grow them successfully this
year, and all have suffered in conse-
quence. Valley is somewhat scarcer,
but Lilium longiflorum is plentiful.
Orchids are more in evidence than at
any time this year. The demand for
them is less than for the last two
months. Asparagus and maidenhair
fern, owing to the favorable weather,
are much better in quality, and the
growers are much more liberal with
the sizes of bunches furnished the re-
tailers.
Various Notes.
The death of Chas. P. Baender is re-
corded in this week's obituary column.

The California Flower Market has
leased, for a period of fifteen years,
the new building which will be erected
by th# Macdonough Estate Co., on
Bush street, between Kearny street and
Grant avenue. The lot has a front of
fifty-eight feet and nine inches and a
depth of 207 feet. The building will
have two stories and basement. It
will cost $57,000. The basement, which
has a floor area of 13,700 feet, will be
devoted to the business of the Cali-
fornia Flower Market. The first floor
will have eight stores and the second
floor will be laid out in offices, which
will be rented out by the California

Business is moving along in a satis-
factory way. The demand is holding up
nicely. There is plenty of stock to
take care of all calls. Boses are in full
cut. Kaiserins seem to be in unusually
heavy supply. They are a little soft
and prove poor shippers, but are good
for local use. Carnations are suflScient
to meet all demands, but are not in
such oversupply as to cause a slump
in prices. Mossise cattleyas are produc-

SANTA BABBABA, OAL.
A well known nurseryman here says:
"We have a climate where everything
grows;" and it looks like it. Every-
thing not only grows but luxuriates.
The surroundings of the town, with the
fine groves of live oaks, sycamores and
other native timbers, are beautiful in
the extreme, the moist atmosphere giv-
ing a more vivid green to the foliage
than in localities farther south. Many
things that have suffered from frost
in Los Angeles and San Diego are ap-
parently immune here, although the
temperature readings here were lower.
The California Acclimatizing Asso-
ciation, with which Dr. Franceschi was
for a long time associated, carries a
big stock of many classes of trees,
shrubs and other plants not generally
known and Mr. Eiedel, the proprietor,
is well posted on these varieties. A
list of the stock here would read like
a botanical work, but I must mention
the fine specimen of Eosa gigantea that
scrambles away up into the tops of trees
forty feet high and is one mass of im-
mense single flowers. Mr. Eiedel has
also a cement pot here that he makes
for convenience in shipping trees. The
bottom is loose and the pot stands on
it, so when lifted the tree or plant
has not to be knocked out, but a bur-
lap can be placed on a convenient post
and the plant slips out of the pot into
the burlap covering. This is a good
idea.
J. Whipple has just returned from a
trip to Los Angeles. He has a fine lot
of Lilium giganteum in good shape and
reports business good.
The Exotic Nurseries carry a high
grade of nursery stock in all varieties,
the young plants all being raised from
seed on the place. They may be seen
here in all sizes in the finest health
and are shipped away by the carload.
A recent shipment took five cars to
handle.
The Kentia Nurseries are on State
street, having a large branch farther
out in the country. Big lots of kentias
are grown, as well as a general line of
nursery stock.

Beverley, makes a specialty of small
plants in great variety. He uses (and
sells) the Pacific sprinklers with good
results. A number of grand old live
oaks here shelter much of the stock
grown, including some fine large speci-
mens of Alsophila australis, which are
making a most luxuriant growth.
An automobile drive through the
beautiful Montecito and Miranar dis-
tricts with Messrs. Boyt and Beverley,
of the Sunshine Irrigation Co., proved
to be the most pleasant part of an en-
joyable visit. The large private es-
tates here are just as near perfection
as they well can be. Set in the grand-

MAY 30
THE BIG DAY!
In the last few years Decoration Day has be-
come the big day in the flower business. Prac-
tically every florist can, if he tries, sell more
flowers May 29 and 30 than in any other two
days in the year. And it is fine business. Flow-
ers are plentiful and cheap, so that there is a
good profit. Also, the customer usually takes the
flowers along, so there is no expense for delivery.
That adds a whole lot to the profit.
The Peony is the special Decoration Day
flower. It makes the biggest show for the money.
Also it is the most reliable shipper; you can be
sure your Peonies will reach you in fine condition,
that they will not go to sleep on your hands and
tbat they will give your customers satisfaction.
Eennicott's is the Peony houie. It was our
exploitation of the Peony that made the Peony
and the Decoration Day business what it is. We
handle more Peonies than any other house in
America. For Decoration Day we ship them from
Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard and to the
Pacific coast.
Now booking orders. The stock this year
promises to be the finest ever, and with the
many thoiisands of plants we control we are
assured many thousands of dozens.
The finest, $8.00 per 100; medium, $5.00 to
$6.00 per 100; good short stock, $4.00 per 100

The peas have had a good start again
this season.
It is reported the crop of Boman hya-
cinths will be light this year and that
prices will be high.
L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, Wis.,
has secured a building permit for the
erection of a new warehouse to cost
$45,000.
The reports from California are not
encouraging, to say the least, but there
is a disposition in some quarters to figure
on a better outcome than present con-
ditions indicate.
The J. F. Latham Seed Co., at 121
North Grand street, Monroe, La., handles
garden and field seeds at both wholesale
and retail, and is now adding a flower
seed department to its business.
The prices of Texas Bermuda onions
in the principal northern markets thus
far this season are said to have averaged
just about enough to meet the actual cash
outlay, leaving the growers nothing for
their work.
Seedsmen, especially those importing
bulbs, will be interested in the action of
the House of Bepresentatives in amending
the trade's paragraphs in the pending
tariff bill, as reported on page 15 of the
current issue. Hyacinth bulbs go back
to $2.50 per thousand.
The De Giorgi Bros., at Council Bluffs,
la., have filed papers incorporating their
business as the De Giorgi Bros. Co., with
a capital stock of $25,000, divided into
250 shares of $100 each, and non-assess-
able. The incorporated business will start
July 1. The term of incorporation is
twenty years, unless terminated sooner
by the incorporators. The business will
be conducted by a board of five direc-
tors, consisting of Ferdinand De Giorgi,
Vaclay Fuke, Jos. F. Pribyl, F. E. Brit-

until the third Monday in January, 1914.

growing industry in California. Table
38, of the bulletin on agriculture, show-
ing an abstract of farm crops by states,
gives the value of the entire product of
vegetable and flower seeds in 1909 as
$1,411,013, as against $826,019 in 1899,
or an increase of almost 100 per cent in
ten years.
It is apparent, from these figures,
that the Census Bureau has failed to
ascertain the real value of seed prod-
ucts, and also that it has not included
in this table the peas and beans for
seed, which appear to be included in
tables 34 and 35. These two tables give
classification of all dry edible beans
and dry peas and evidently take in
beans and peas for seed, although there
is no good reason why these seeds
should be omitted from table 38, as
they should be classed with vegetable
seeds.
In the following table, it will be
noted, the value of the seed crop of the
United States about doubled in ten
years, while California, destined to be-
come the greatest seed district in the
world, produced in 1909 five times the
crop of 1899.

Explaining why no tabulation is
given of the acreage from which seeds
were grown, the Census Bureau states
-that in some cases such acreage was not
reported, and in many cases it would

LAWN SILICATE
FOR KILLING WEEDS IN LAWNS
Positively effective and absolutely guaranteed or money returned.
I AWN SILICATE is unquestionably superior to any preparation ever applied as a top
dressing to lawns to destroy Plantain, Buckhorn, Dandelion and other low growing,
flat leaved weeds that a lawn mower will not kill. It is odorless and is easy to apply.
Does not stain or injure hands or clothing. It is positively the most economical,
quickest and most effective method of getting rid of weeds ever devised. €tA 5-lb. package
covers 200 to 500 square feet. It does not kill the grass, but the weeds are practically all killed
in 24 to 48 hours, and afterwards literally burned up and blown away. €tThis is not a "fairy
tale." We invite investigation. It is sold on "money back guarantee."

BULB DECISION AFFIRMED.
Johannus Jacobus Van Meeruwen and
Johannes Tegelaar, bulb growers in
Holland under the firm name of Van
Meeruwen & Tegelaar, lost for a second
time in their suit against August S.
Swanson, the former Minneapolis flo-
rist, when the supreme court affirmed
an order, April 25, of Judge H. D.
Dickinson, of the Hennepin county dis-
trict court, in favor of the defendant.
The syllabus by Justice Oscar Hallam
states that the Hollanders solicited an
•order of bulbs and asserted that Swan-
son had ordered some but later were in»
formed by him that he had sold out his
Tausiness to another party. The third
jparty refused part of the bulbs when
they were shipped and the goods per-
ished in consequence. The Hollanders
then sued Swanson, but the court held
"that he had not agreed to buy any
bulbs.
SWEET PEAS AT LOMPOC.
Lompoc valley has become a Mecca
:for sweet pea growers this year, though
in 1912 only seven and one-half acres
■were grown, aside from those grown by
W, Atlee Burpee & Co.
In 1912 the Burpee firm had about
160 acres of sweet peas, all told. Five
acres of these were grandifloras, eight
«cres were the old winter-flowering
type and the remainder were principally
the most up-to-date standard Spencers,
with numerous novelties and Floradale
selections. In the present season, an
«rea of 200 acres is about all the Bur-
pees can claim as their share of the
total space planted with sweet peas.

Max 8, 1913.
variously stated as from 500 to 1,200
acres.
Wherever possible, irrigation is now
resorted to. Sometimes the River Santa
Ynez is tapped for a supply; at other
places a slough serves the purpose, and,
last but by no means least, wells are
used. However, there are wells and
wells. The Burpee Floradale seed grow-
ing ranch has the deepest well so far
put into operation in the valley, and it
is far superior to a number of shallow
wells. The shallow wells frequently
yield a quality of water that is not at
all conducive to the well-being of plant
life, as the managers of the Burpee seed
farm found to their sorrow in 1911,
when large numbers of young plants
were positively killed by the use of
water taken from a well only seventy
feet deep.
For nearly three months water was
hauled from a spring of pure water
three miles away, in order to sustain
the few plants which escaped death
from the water previously used, taken
from the shallow well found on the
farm when the Burpees began opera-
tions there. The 70-foot well is now
entirely abandoned and another 158-foot
well has been drilled to take its place,
but the well which so far has not been
tested to its full capacity is 312 feet
deep; it can be made to yield, with
little effort, 800 gallons per minute. So
far a gasoline engine has furnished the
motive power, but next week an electric
motor will be installed, which will de-
liver a much larger volume of water
than was formerly possible. The Flora-
dale well is so situated that it will
irrigate 200 acres with ease.

SEED TESTING IN ZUSICH.
Some Instruments for Testing.
Among the various methods adopted
in the examination of seed were two
which were new to me. It is well
known to farmers that one of the most
destructive parasites upon agricultural
plants is dodder, which grows upon
clover. Great attention has been paid
to the elimination of this plant from
clover fields as well as to the elimina-
tion of its seed, which finds its way
into samples of clover seed. Dr. Steb-
ler employs a diminutive water engine,
which agitates with some rapidity a
series of round trays placed one above
the other, each tray being perforated
with holes of sizes which are graded.
The seed to be tested is placed in the
uppermost tray, the dodder finding its
way through the holes and leaving the
clover seed behind. A new method
adopted in testing seeds which are par-
tially transparent is worthy of remark.
A hole some four inches in diameter is
cut in the center of the floor of a box
of a width of twenty to twenty-four
inches by eighteen inches high, and of
similar depth. The box, one side of
which is removed, is painted black
within. The seed is laid upon a glass
disk, which covers the hole referred to.
Eighteen inches below is a mirror re-
sembling that used with the microscope,
but considerably larger. By its aid a
ray of sunlight — or, in dull weather, the
light of a lamp — is directed on to the
seed from beneath, when, owing to its
transparency, it is recognized, however
heavily it may be adulterated.

Proportion of Qqod and Bad.
ThJb importance ■ 6t controlling the
purity and germinati'ng power of seed
may be illustrated; by reference to a
few varieties amppg' the grasses which
are iftmplqyed Tj^fth great freedom by
farmers in all .parts of this country.
The average value of Italian rye grass
' on tl\e basis of the Zurich work durinij
; the last thirty-six years is ninety-five
", per cent for purity and eighty per cent
i^^ioi*- germination; this gives seventy-six
per; cent of good seed. The figure may
sutpriee the reader, but if every farmer
Were able to ensure three grass seeds
out of four being perfect he would
have good reason to be satisfied. Let
us see, however, what last year's exam-
ination tells us. The average percent-
age of purity was ninety-one and of
germination seventy-four, while the
highest per cent of purity was ninety-
nine and four-fifths and of germination
ninety-seven, both being exceptional
figures. The lowest, however, was six-
teen per cent for purity and three per
cent for germination, so that of sixteen
pure seeds in every hundred only three
would grow — and of such instances there
are many.
Four Good Seeds in a Hundred.
English rye grass was in one case
only forty-five per cent pure, with ten
per cent germination; in other words,
only four seeds were good out of every
hundred. Cocksfoot, which should ap-
proximate to 100 in each case, gave in
one instance fifteen per cent pure and
forty-five per cent for germination, or
about seven good seeds per hundred.
The well-known foxtail, among the best
of our grasses, which should show sev-
enty-five per cent pure and sixty-nine
per cent for germination — for it does
not stand in the front rank in either
respect — gave in one case fourteen per

cent for purity and twenty-two per
cent for germination, or some three
good seeds per hundred. Among meadow
fescue, sheep's fescue, red fescue and
some other varieties of grass used by
English farmers there were several
which gave extremely low percentages of
purity, while the pure seeds all failed to
germinate. Of a list of thirty leading
grasses, in no less than twelve cases
there were samples in which practically
every seed was worthless, owing chiefly
to failure in germination. These re-
marks do not apply in the same degree
to the clovers, although there are many
cases — and this happens every year — in
which numbers of samples show a low
germination percentage.
Not Exactly Encouraging.
There is one feature in this question
which deserves special comment. The
advance or retrogression of the purity
and value of seeds is shown specially in
a table which Dr. Stebler has prepared.
Thus, with regard to the clovers, there
was a much larger number of cases
which showed a diminution of quality
than of those in which there was an
improvement — and this especially ap-
plies to the grasses. Here improvement
Mpntinn Th^ ReTte# when yon write.
was shown in purity in five instances
only, and in germination in seven in-
stances only out of thirty varieties.
Thus, in spite of all the efforts of grow-
ers amd of those seedsmen who are de-
voting special attention to the improve-
ment of seed,, .there is practically a
retrogression, and, if for no other rea-
son, it is of the greatest moment that
an official system of control should be
established in this country.

Business has been brisk the last two
weeks and everyone seems to be busy
with various kinds of work. Cut flow-
ers continue to be plentiful. Because
of the warm soell, bulbous stock grown
indoors has come to an untimely end.
Daflfodils, which played such an im-
portant part in the cut flower list, have
gone and it is hard to And a substi-
tute, as carnations are still scarce and
roses are much more expensive. Vio-
lets are poor at present. There is lit-
tle cut white and lavender lilac to be
had. Killarney roses in pink and white
are best of all. Tafts are off crop, but
Mrs. Aaron Wards are fair. - Valley
and cattleyas are fine. Sweet peas are
much more reasonable now and better
in quality. Pansies in baskets are
much in demand. There are no flower-
ing plants to speak of, although there
are a few calceolarias shown in some
of the stores. Asparagus is not so plen-

the trade here last week.

Mention The Review when you write
was held in the Science building April
29 and 30, Owing to the early bloom-
ing of tulips this year, it was decided
to hold the tulip exhibit one week
earlier than the time originally set.
There were six classes, three for adults,
one for professional florists and two
for boys and girls who are under 16
years of age.
H. Madsen, of West Springfield, has
a fine lot of bedding plants in readi-
ness for the spring trade. Among his
stock, there are about 1,200 geranium
plants.
The Wheelock, Golden and Van
Vlack funerals made a great deal of
work for the downtown florists last
week.
The May day breakfasts given by
the various organizations helped trade.
Special May baskets were sold in quan-
tities.
Steve Green, with H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., of Philadelphia, was in the city
this week.
James Irwin, formerly of Boston, is
at the Aitken greenhouses in Agawam.
Word has been received in this city
of the birth of a son to Mr, and Mrs.
Charles Isselee, of White Plains, N. Y.
Len Morgan has had fine success
growing Formosa lilies this spring.
They are excellent for potted lilies,
but not quite so profitable for sale as
cut flowers, because there are too many
buds on the one stalk.
L. N. Butts has planted some of his
carnations outdoors this early, because
of the warm weather.
Mrs. Charles Moore, of New Britain,
Conn., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. E.
C. Armbrust.
An artistic decoration was executed
May 1 at the home of Mrs. Theo.
Smith in Mulberry street by M. Ait-
ken. JS. C. A.

NURSERY NEWS.
AMESIOAN ASSOCIATION OF NtmSEBTXEN.
Officers for 1912-1913: Pres., Thomas B.
Meehan, Dresber, Pa.; Vlce-Pres., J. B. Pllking-
ton, Portland, Ore.; Sec'y, John Hall, Rochester,
N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester, N. Y.
Thirty-elgbth annual meeting, Portland, Ore,,
June 18 to 20, 1913.
Nurserymen will be interested in the
article, ' ' More Trouble Brewing, ' ' on
page 22 of the current issue.
The summer-like weather of the last
few days has brought the season rapidly
toward its close with a majority of those
in the nursery business.
Mes. Maey S. Holman, aged 78 years,
widow of the late David S. Holman, of
Springfield, Mo., died April 25. She
went to Springfield many years ago with
her husband, who conducted a nursery
until his death.
The Hankinson Nursery Co., of Hank-
inson, N. D., was given the contract to
lay out and plant a city park for Wahpe-
ton, N. D., and a force of nurserymen
under the direction of C. A. Chinberg
began operations last week.
L. J. Wesely, formerly a salesman for
the Mitchell Nursery Co., at Owatonna,
Minn., has organized a business of his
own, to be conducted under the name of
the Owatonna Nursery Co. Two farms
near Owatonna have been secured and a
force of men is at work preparing the
ground for use.
Nurserymen will be interested in the
amendments made in the pending tariff
bill by the House of Kepresentatives as
told on page 15 of this issue. No changes
are made in rates on nursery stock, the
amendments being to simplify adminis-
tration. The free list now reads "con-
iferous, evergreen seedlings, 4 years
old or less."
The Fruit Growers' Nurseries, Inc.,
with headquarters at Newark, N. Y., has
filed a certificate of incorporation in the
Wayne county clerk's office, Lyons, N.
Y., outlining its plan to engage in a
general nursery business. The three di-
rectors are C. W. Stewart, C. H. Stewart
and James M. Pitkin, all of Newark,
N. Y. The capital stock is $5,000, fully
paid up and non-assessable.
"Some of our nursery friends," says
Frank B. White, "are wondering if the
business is really being overdone. The
advertisers are not complaining — it's the
men who depend on other means of sell-
ing who are worried. It is true that
the Pacific coast has a large stock for
which there seems to be little market.
The fruit business of the central states
is making steady progress and is pretty
sure to make our western big fellows sit
up and take notice."
Pessimism rules as to the Georgia
peach crop for this year. Some weeks
since orchard conditions were good and
tree buds were so firm and fine that a
splendid crop was promised. But these
made great development in warm weather
and then came cold and frost that
worked comparative destruction to the
crop all over the state. Experienced
growers and expert dealers are of one
mind as to a disaster in the matter of
yield. The most pessimistic predict a
crop of only 1,500 cars, while the most
optimistic can see prospects for a maxi-
mum of 2,500 cars. Such a crop would
compare with 7,000 cars for 1912.

U.S.
statistics
■" I "^HE Census Bureau has issued a bulletin giving an agricultural abstract by
^ states for 1909, as of the census of 1910," showing the nursery establishments,
nursery acreage and value of nursery products. Table 74 gives this information.
The statistics cover the growing of nursery products not only by establishments
which devote themselves exclusively to this branch and which employ only inten-
sive methods, but also on ordinary farms that derive a part of their income from
nursery products. The acreage in 1909 was 35.5 per cent greater than in 1899,.
while the value of products was more than twice as great as ten years earlier and
was equal to 0.4 per cent of the total value of all farm crops in the XJnited States.

SAGINAW AND BAY CITY.
The Market.
Business has been good with the trade
in Saginaw and Bay City, Mich., with
plenty of funeral work and now and
then a good wedding to brighten up
things. Last week we had real sum-
mer weather, and everybody got the
fever to plant geraniums in their beds
and cemetery lots, but at the present
writing it is quite different. Over-
coats are all the vogue, after a heavy
downpour of rain Monday night. Car-

Florists' Club Organized.
The florists of the Saginaw valley
have for a long time felt the necessity
of an organization, and it finally has
been effected more by force than for
purpose. There is a bill before the
House at Lansing, providing that every
florist using steam must employ only
licensed engineers as firemen in eight-
hour shifts. This was one reason for
organizing a society at Saginaw and Bay
City.
There are more than 100 people di-
rectly engaged in floriculture in Sagi-
naw and Bay City who will be inter-
ested in a society that will further the
love of flowers. Floriculture in all its
phases will be handled in a manner
that cannot fail to benefit all that are
interested in the trade. There will be
monthly business meetings, alternating
between Saginaw and Bay City. The
membership is growing with each meet-
ing, twenty-eight having signed the
constitution and by-laws of the Sagi-
naw-Bay City Floricultural Society. At
a meeting in Bay City the society
elected the following officers: John Ir-
vine, president, Bay City;^ Carl L.
Eoethke, vice-president, Saginaw; Al-
bert G. Boehringer, treasurer, Baj'
City; Henry W. F. Goetz, secretary,
Saginaw.
Various Notes.
Charles Frueh & Sons, of Saginaw,
are having a splendid cut of carna-
tions and roses from their new houses
and find ready sales for all.
The Wm. Eoethke Floral Co., of Sag-
inaw, is cutting choice snapdragons that
bring fancy prices.

J. B. Goetz Sons, of Saginaw, are

HARDY PERENNIALS.
The most complete collection of varieties
and the largest stock in the country. Our
Perennial plants have a national reputation. We spare no expense to have them in
the best possible shape for the planter. Such varieties as move better when pot-
grown are prepared in this shape. This does not mean little seedlings, but in the
majority of cases the plants were fleld-grown, were dug and potted during the fall
and winter months, and are just the right size to give immediate results. They are
not to be compared with so-called field clumps. Try them and be convinced. See
our current 'wholesale list lor varieties and prices.

are rare or uncommon are to be found,
and the able superintendent, Charles
Sander, one of the best gardeners in
America, and most unassuming of men,
is ever pleased to see interested visit-
ors. Azaleas are a great feature here.
The big specimen plants filling several
pits do not flower until May and June,
but many seedlings of flowering size,
some of them beautiful sorts, are to be
seen, and quantities of seedling rhodo-
dendrons and azaleas in pans or flats
just pricked out are to be seen. Olivias,
or imantophyllums, fill one house and
comprise all the Veitchian hybrids as
well as many home raised seedlings.
Nerines, or Guernsey lilies^ are also
raised from seed in quantities. Mr.
Sander states that he failed at first in
raising nerines and clivias by covering
the seeds, which would rot. Since he
left the seeds uncovered he gets a fine
germination. Amaryllises also are
raised here in quantity. Other interest-
ing plants noted were Pancratium fra-

Mptvtion The Review when von write.
NEW ORLEANS, LA.
The Market.
There was a perceptible dullness in
the trade during April, but business im-
proved gradually and the sale of cut
flowers and plants was generally satis-
factory the latter part of the month
and early in May. In and out of town,
weddings and funerals helped to dis-
pose of the home-grown as well as the
shipped stock. Gladioli, Creole lilies,
sweet peas, mignonette, etc., are in
constant demand and supplied by the
local growers. Shasta daisies are mak-
ing their first appearance, but the out-
door roses cannot be sold over the
counter, and as a rule are fit only for
cheap work. A number of weddings are
scheduled for the next month, and sev-
eral orders have been placed. Land-
scape gardeners are busy with exten-
sion projects on the outskirts of the
city and the trade naturally benefits by
the increased activities in suburban de-
velopment.
Various Notes.
William Nelson is sending in some
fine sweet peas, Creole lilies and other
cut flowers, and his choice stock is al-
ways in demand.
Charles Eble showed his first pure
white gladioli, which were admired by
the trade »s well as the public. In ad-
dition to his PhcBnix Boebelenii, he
added Cocos plumosa for the wholesale
trade, and finds it a paying proposition.
U. J. Virgin reported satisfactory busi-
ness. He has a fine stock of Gladiolus
America and Augusta and the demand
for them is up to his expectations.
Peter Chopin's store is always up-to-
date and in consequence new custom-
ers are being added constantly.
Mrs. Carrie Rehm's place is always
a- center of attraction, owing to the
large frontage and splendidly Kept
plants in and outdoors. R. E.
Portsmouth, O. — Louise Koenig, of
1238 Second street, lost in the recent
flood her greenhouse and entire stock

CURRENT TOPlfcS
My Original Silver Pink Snapdragon
has been sold and exhibited in all of the
leading markets, but not at any recent
show. Show prizes on snapdragons have
but little value at present. There are
no rules governing the judging, and a
tail-end variety in one show can easily
be a winner in another show. This fact
has and will keep out exhibitors, as
noted in the recent shows where only
two or three entries were made. SIL-
VER PINK is not only the better of
two varieties but of all of the varieties
to date. Its beautiful color and splen-
did habit of growth stands pre-emi-
nently alone. There is no other variety
that approaches it, and now that it will
reproduce in color and habit from seed
with only a few pleasing sports, it can
be extensively grown at small cost. Wo
have customers that got as many as 900
plants from one packet of seed, which
reduces the cost to a minimum.
Many varieties • of snapdragon now
offered show side growth near the
Of course, this can be removed at the expense of a bare stem. Silver Pink
MARKETED IN FULL DRESS
Side growth gracefully tapers from one inch at the flower to three and four inches at base of stem, which adds
sufficient green for a well finished bouquet. Buy Silver Pink and have all that is good in snapdragons.
Silver Pink is now growing in a number of foreign countries, carried there by its record and influence, which
are safe, sane leaders. A good article is always imitated even to the use of its name. But the beautiful light,
silvery shade of pink alone will hold Silver Pink in position. Other pink shades will have a limited use, but, as
in the carnation, the one that pleases the public will remain. Recall the Lawson and all kindred shades of carna-
tions. They have passed and the buyer is still calling for the light, daybreak shades. The buyer, governed by
the public, rules the' situation and will ever do so. Don't spend your time and money trying to break this law.
The people buy what they want, hence the great popularity of SILVER PINK — the pioneer commercial snapdragon.

INDkANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Trade was fairly steady last week.
The weather has been unusually warm
for this time of the year; the thermom-
eters registered 90 degrees several days.
There has been some funeral work and
the general trade is much better than
heretofore. Stock is plentiful, carna-
tions being a glut on the market. Good
roses find a steady market. Beauties
are moving slowly. Sweet peas and
snapdragons are a trifle scarce. Out-
door valley has put in an appearance.
Callas and Easter lilies are plentiful.
The recent warm weather has caused
quite a stir in the bedding plant busi-
ness and, from all indications, this will
be a good year in that line.
Various Notes.
John Bertermann may be seen al-
most any of these fine days, breaking all
speed records in his new Premier auto
on East Washington street.
Mrs. Homer Wiegand, who has been
in a critical condition at the Methodist
hospital, is much improved.
' The Pahud Floral Co. suffered much
inconvenience from the loss of a box-
wood shipment, which was lost in
transit.
Pearl James, formerly with the Ber-
termann Bros. Co., and Fred Kiel, for-
merly with Alfred Brandt, have taken
positions with A. Wiegand & Sons.
Frank Farney, of the M. Eice Co.,
spent a few days with the trade here
last week.
William Langstaff, the veteran florist
at the Deaf and Dumb Institute, has
been seriously ill at his home. The
last reports, however, indicated some
improvement.
J. A. E. Haugh, of Anderson, and J.
E. Brown, of Shelbyville, were in the
city last week.
Alfred Brandt has become a chicken
fancier. He intends to raise only pedi-
greed stock.
All hands at Baur & Steinkamp's
have been busy planting carnations dur-
ing the last week. H. L. W.
Caldwell, N. J. — William Aubry is
having built a $5,000 greenhouse on his
property in west Caldwell.
Lafayette, Ind. — F. Dorner & Sons
Co., which has two ranges of houses, is
preparing to make important changes
in the older place this summer. Five
houses will come down and four new
ones, each 30x300, will go up. The
place now has two heating plants. These
will be consolidated and a new trap
system put in, the same as the one that
works so well in the newer range.

KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
Trade was fair last week, with some
increase over the preceding week. Fu-
neral work was much heavier than it
has been for some time. Decorations
for dinners, weddings, etc., also showed
an increase over last week. Stock of
nearly all kinds is plentiful. Carna-
tions are cheap, selling at $1 to $3 per
hundred. Most of the growers are
throwing some of their carnations out,
so as to make room for spring stock;
this will cause a shortage in home-
grown stock. The blooms are becom-
ing small on account of the hot
weather. Boses are bringing a good
price and some splendid stock is on
the market; the growers seem to have
a good crop on and are able to dispose
of them easily. The roses are selling
at $3 to $8 per hundred. Richmonds
are in heavy demand. Bedding stock
is moving fast and everybody is busy
with the orders in that line.
Various Notes.
W. J. Barnes was exceedingly busy
last week with funeral work and deco-
rations. He furnished one of the larg-
est decorations of the season.
Samuel Murray reports that business
is good, but nothing extraordinary. Ta-
ble decorations take the lead.
I. M. Bayersdorfer was in the city
last week, representing H. Bayersdor-
fer & Co. W. J. B.
Bhineheck, N. T. — Alvah Bishop will
operate James Coon's greenhouses next
year, growing violets.
CANNAS AND BEDDING STOCK
We have an extra fine lot of Cannas in 3-inch pots,

These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the
advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which
they will continue to do better than in pots.

The Rorists' Review
May 8. 1913.
PITTSBUEOH.
The Market.
Pittsburgh began last week with a
much needed rain, followed by cooler
weather with some frost, but the week
closed with a beautiful warm day, the
thermometers registering 80 degrees on
Saturday.
The wholesale houses were in trouble
all the week, as stock shortened up,
especially carnations, and there was
considerable difficulty in filling orders.
There was a shortage in about every-
thing except Beauties and cattleyas,
of which a big cut has been coming in.
With the crop of carnations somewhat
off, the outlook for Mothers ' day does
not seem to be particularly good.
Various Notes.
The Schenley conservatories tur-
nished the decorations for the Mayor
Magee banquet, given on Saturday,
May 3.
Samuel Cape is one of the enterpris-
ing young men in the business. Some
time ago he purchased the building on
the corner of Peun avenue and Fortieth
street, which he has put into shape for
an up-to-date flower shop. He opened
the new shop on Saturday, May 3.
A. E. McCoyd, who has been conduct-
ing a flower stand in the Fifth avenue
arcade, discontinued it May 1. The
stand has been rented, however, and
will be continued by Franks & Gal-
lagher, who are doing business under
the name of the Philadelphia Florists.
It is reported that there are some
matrimonial notices due from some of
Randolph & McClements' young ladies,
but I am not permitted to mention
names at present.
The E. C. Ludwig baseball team has
been cleaning up everything among the
amateurs. Now, if there are any flo-
rist teams anywhere in this vicinity, let
Manager De Forest Ludwig hear from
you.
Ernest Fischer, of the firm of Fischer
& Scheick, Sharon, Pa., died April 29,
after a long illness. Further particu-
lars will be found in this week 's obit-
uary column. Clarke.
Waterloo, la. — Charles Sherwood has
leased the front part of the Sinnard
Bros, building and will open a branch
store there.

lilioiGe Plants for Imnieilialfi
A wonderful clock at Cur Saal, in
Interlachen, Switzerland, one of the
most famous and biggest tourist hotels
of the world. The biggest wonder of
nature the world has ever seen.
See that clock? It is made of
flowers!
It has hands and shows the time!
See that little house in the rear, also
made of flowers? There is hidden a
mechanism that strikes the quarter,
half and the hour. What do you think
this clock is made of? It is made of
plants of brilliancy — mostly of dwarf
begonias, the Vernon type, short va-
riety, pink and red. The head gar-
dener, the creator of this clock, of this
famous, world-wide known hotel at In-
terlachen, Switzerland, has been offered
a fortune by American and other mil-
lionaires of the world, to make them a
clock similar to- this, but he declined
the offers, saying that he was hired by

the hotel company for the next ten
years. I was fortunate enough, during
my visit there, to obtain from the head
gardener, the creator of this clock, a
supply of seed and stock plants of those
beautiful varieties of begonias to raise
a sufficient crop of about 50,000 young
plants in 2*4, 3 and 4-inch pots for you
to use in a similar clock, carpet bed or
other outside work. A bed of these
begonias, pink, the Erfordii, or the
bright red improved Vernon, is a joy
forever. Constant bloomers, stay al-
ways short and bushy, the hot rays of
the sun have no bad effect on them.
They can be grown in a sunny or shady
place. We can sell you large 4-inch

bronze green foliage, plant literally covered with
great clusters of shell pink bloom during its
season.

ROSE AFTER-SATISFACTION.
When you buy G. & R. roses you get along
with them the after-satisfaction — that sense' of
realizing all the success that should come from
planting quality roses, the knowing that no bet-
ter results are possible to be obtained outside
of G. & R. roses. It is the after-satisfaction
that has compelled us to plan to grow for the
coming season one million additional roses.
Think of it, the after-satlsfactlon selling five
million roses, and demanding a million increase.
In one year. "Going some,''^ you say. Yes, but
are you getting your share of this "rose after-
satisfaction" 7 If not, why not? Plant Q. & B.
quality roses. None better, none so good.

other plants now ready. Write for it today.

Greenhouse Heating.
Prices on coal contracts running
tlirough the year are being well main-
tained.
A TENDENCY is apparent this season
among the soft coal producers to curtail
production, keeping tiie coal in the
ground whenever tliey cannot get a price
that leaves a margin of profit.
SUBSCRIBEKS are invited to write tiie
Editor of this Department witli regard to
any details of greenhouse lieating tliat
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Keview to nuike a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

heat needed? We often have outside
temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees below
zero for a day or two. Our location is
west central Iowa. If my idea is not
practical, kindly suggest the cheapest
plan. E. S. F.
The temiierature desired is not stated,
but if the house is to be used for roses
or other crops which require a night
temperature of (50 degrees, a consider-
able increase will be necessary in the
radiation mentioned. Instead of run-
ning a flow and return pipe under each
of the four benches, it is suggested that
a 2-inch flow be run overhead, about
two feet below the ridge, and that at
the end of the house two IVi-inch re-
turns be run in each direction and car-
ried back to the boiler on the plates.
In addition to this, there should be two
IVi-inch returns under each of the four
benches. These should be connected
with a ]^/> inch pipe, which .should be
taken off and run in each direction
from the overhead flow, at a point over
the ends of the benches.
In case 50 degrees or a little less will
answer in the coldest weather, it can be
secured by means of eight 1^-inch re-
turns, in addition to the 2-inch over-
head flow pipe. If solid beds are used,
the returns can be on the walls, or a
part of them can be in the walks.
FROM HOT WATER TO STEAM.
W^iil you kindly let your heating c-x
l»ert pass on the following question?
My house is 34x70 and sixteen feet
high to the ridge, with two feet of
glass in the east wall and a solid con-
crete wall on the west side. The house
runs north and south. The south end
is glass; the north end abuts agaiust
my dwelling. There are six rooms in
the dwelling, all heated by a hot water
boiler situated in the basement. A
3-Jnch feed pipe, running under the
ridge, feeds nine 2-inch returns under
three center benches. One 2-inch tVcd
on the purlin posts feeds five 2-in<h
returns on the east wall; two 2-inch

I am fully satisfied with your No. 2 Kroeschell boiler. I have had differ-
ent kinds of saddle and tubular boilers, but none of them give such satisfac-
tion as yours. I have 7000 sq. ft. of glass, and your boiler would take care of

Continuous Firing for Four Years Twenty-
four Hours a Day Fails to Burn Out
Cyclone Grates
We have installed many sets of Cyclone Grates where these figures
have held true.
Any grates that show no evidence of burning after four years' con-
tinuous firing twenty-four hours a day must have something exceptionally
worth while about them.
Cyclone Grates resist burning because the Cyclone Plan insists upon a
mixture of iron being used which years of experience and experiment
have found best suited for the purpose.
THIS GRATE WILL SAVE YOU MONEY
NOT ONLY IN FUEL, BUT IN REPAIRS

Where There Is Condensatioo
— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. CondenBation in
ateam lines is akin to matter out of place— means wasted energy.
If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform
temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per-
fectly— return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without
pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that
impulse — write now. '

pipe I already have. I intend to put
in a new boiler. How much grate sur-
face would be needed to carry the radi-
ation mentioned, besides the dwelling,
which is 26x26, with an ell 16x24? I
am located in eastern Iowa. G. H.
The letter does not state what tem-
perature is desired in the greenhouse,
nor does it give any idea of the size of
the rooms and the amount of window
area in the dwelling.
About all that can be said regarding
the amount of radiation required for
steam is that, if the present radiation is
Buj£cient with hot water, it will prob-
ably answer if about one-half of the
returns are removed. There will be no
occasion for retaining the 3-inch over-
head main; a 2-inch pipe might be sub-
stituted for it and one of the flows on
the east wall might be changed to a
return. A 2-inch pipe on each side. of
the hotbed will be suflScient for 60 de-
grees in cold weather and one pipe
would answer most of the time.
Just how much radiation will be
needed in the dwelling is not clear, but
it will probably not be more than 400
«quare feet, and this, with 600 feet in
the greenhouse and 100 feet in the hot-
bed, would mean about 1,000 square
feet of radiation to be supplied by the
boiler. With the extreme outside tem-
perature mentioned, it will be well to
provide a boiler with considerable re-
serve capacity and ten to twelve square
feet of grate surface will be desirable.

trifle more variety than at that time.
Prices are down and a large quantity of

is a general spirit of activity manifest
and everybody is busy.

MILWAUKEE.
The Market. ^ .
Weather conditions the last week
resembled those of midsummer and in
turn rushed crops along in good shape,
but all in all business was good. The
demand for red carnations the last
fortnight has been ahead of the supply.
With this warm spell folks get anxious
and the call for bedding stock, al-
though it is still a little early in this
locality to plant out soft-wooded stock,
is more of a nuisance than a benefit.
Local carnation specialists were busy
as bees rushing their stock into the
field last week. A warm rain May 5
was welcome.
Club Meeting.
The Florists' Club has not accom-
plished a great deal for some time
past and the time has come when it
can help materially in the matter of
accommodations and premium list for
the annual state fair. In the past, con-
ditions were such that the florists in
general took no interest in the fair at
all, leaving it to a few who made it
their business to be there regularly, re-
sulting in a rather one-sided affair.
With a comparatively new manage-
ment of the State Board of Agricul-
ture and the aid of F. Cranefield, of
Madison, secretary of the Wisconsin
State Horticultural Society, new life
has entered into the project. ' ' Mr.
Cranefield called recently on the club's
treasurer, James Livingstone, to help
revise the premium list on all indoor
floricultural exhibita. The revised list
was taken up at the last club meeting
and, with a few exceptions, it was ap-
proved. As the list now reads the in-
ducements for professional growers
should and undoubtedly will bring
out many good exhibits. In view of
this fact some members thought, judg-
ing by arrangements made in past
years, there would not be enough room
to display exhibits to full advantage.
Finally it was voted to send a com-
mittee of three to Madison to confer
with Mr. Cranefield and see what can
be accomplished to better conditions.
President Leidiger appointed James
Livingstone, C. C. PoUworth and H.
V. Hunkel to serve on this committee.
While little may be accomplished in
aiding this year's fair, the present in-
terest will help to further the cause
in the future.
The club voted to hold the annual
picnic this summer and the entertain-
ment committee, consisting of Walter
Halliday, Nic Zweifel and Gust Eusch,
with the latter as chairman, was di-
rected to proceed with the prelimi-
naries.

WASHINGTON.
The Market.
The supply of stock in practically
all lines has shortened up materially
since last week and this is particularly
so in roses and carnations, but there are
enough of these to meet all demands.
Spencer sweet peas have made their ap-
pearance in fair supply and are meet-
ing with a ready sale. Outdoor valley
has been quite plentiful during the
week, but has been cleaned up well.
Some good indoor peonies were to be
seen. The demand for peonies is poor,
as they interfere with the sale of
shrubbery. Bulbous stock is at an end,
although some few tulips are still to
be had. Calla lilies are still in good
supply and demand; the supply of
Baster lilies has shortened up a great
deal. Lupines still remain scarce, as
the local crop seems to have been
somewhat of a failure. The first dah-
lias of the season have made their ap-
pearance.
Various Notes.
William F. Gude has been chosen as
head of the business men's committee
of one hundred, which will seek the
$300,000 necessary for the erection of
the new Emergency hospital, and this
is to be raised in twelve days. This
committee is subdivided into groups
of ten hustlers each, with a captain at
the head of each group. Z. D. Blacki-
stone is one of the captains and other
florists are doing valiant work to bring
about the erection of the hospital.
Final arrangements have been made
for the second annual rose exhibition,
to be held May 20 and 21 in the Ma-
sonic Temple, Brookland, D. C, by the
Brookland Citizens' Association. The
judges of exhibits will be Leslie C.
Eeynolds, superintendent of the Na-
tional Botanic Gardens; Belle C.
Saunders, of the Department of Agri-
culture, and Dr. John A. Parker.
Adolphus Gude and Fred H. Kramer
will go to Germany this summer with
the Alinute Men of the United States,
who will participate in the unveiling
of a monument at Leipsic. Mr. Gude
holds the rank of captain and regi-
mental paymaster, and Mr. Kramer is
captain and regimental commissary.
Adolph Bowdler is busy receiving
the congratulations of his friends; it's
a boy and arrived last week.

The Gateway to the South.
The market underwent a sudden
change last week, being dull one dajr
and fairly good the next morning. Busi-
ness started slowly April 28. The next
day it picked up considerably and by
the middle of the week it was good.
This increased demand comes both
from local retailers and out-of-town
buyers. Carnations were principally
affected by the change. The supply has
decreased considerably, partly on ac-
count of natural changes, but probably
due also to a holding back of the stock
for Mothers' day. The prices are
again back to a high point. The rose
supply is still a trifle larger than is
necessary for requirements. This is
true even of American Beauties; now
and then some of the stock must be sac-
rificed in order to move it. The great
bulk of it, however, yields a fair re-
turn when it is in first-class condition.
The supply of callas and Easter lil-
ies continues large. The latter are sell-
ing better than a week ago. Some fine
outdoor tulips are coming in. Only a
little forced valley is being cut these
days, but the supply of outdoor valley
is large and includes some good oflEer-
ings. Sweet peas are in fairly good
supply. The good ones, particularly the
home-grown ones, find a ready call.
Snapdragons, too, sell nicely. Other
offerings include stocks, alyssum, iris,
miniature gladioli, etc. There is an
adequate supply of green goods.
Various Notes.
After C. E. Critchell returned from
Minneapolis last week he stated that
the committees there had all conven-
tion affairs so well in hand that if the
meeting were to open tomorrow they
would be ready. -fMr. Critchell 's en-
thusiasm is 80 great that he declares
the convention will be one of the best
the organization has ever had.
Joseph Goldman, of Middletown, was
a heavy buyer of choice stock last week
for use at the Sorg funeral at that
place.
George Klotter has been cutting
some fine parrot tulips.
W. Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind.,
have been sending some extraordinarily
fine Kaiserin roses to L. H. Kyrk.
E. G. Gillett says this season has
been absolutely the best he has ever
had in wirework. The demand has been
especially strong for baskets and
wreaths.
A. C. Heckman, Jr., and Alex. Osten-
darp, of the Cincinnati Cut Flower Ex-
change, are enthusiastic over the excel-
lent quality of a lot of eastern sphag-
num they received last week.
Frank Farney, representing the M.
Rice Co., and Milton Alexander, repre-
senting Lion & Co., were in the city re-

Irondequoit Growers Came
to Build
L & B Iron Frame Houses
AN INTERESTING BIT OF
DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
THE other day several of our
salesmen were lunching to-
gether with the Sales Manager.
I came in late, but just in time to
catch some most interesting facts
about how the leading growers in
Irondequoit jumped from our Pipe
Frame to the 40-foot Iron Frame
construction.
It seems that Del Titus first
started buying our Pipe Frame
houses a good many years ago.
J. H. West & Sons, who had five
of the same construction, started
the Iron Frame ball rolling when
they jumped from Pipe Frame
houses 28 feet wide to a 72-foot
Iron Framer 125 feet long, divided
into three compartments.
Fred Metcalfe and P. B. Pengally
were the first to build the 40-foot
Iron Framers.
The interesting thing about Mr.
Pengally's order was that he bad
already signed up for a Pipe Frame
house, but on visiting, with Mr.
Metcalfe, the Burt Olney Canning
Co.'s range at Albion, N. Y., he
promptly changed his mind in favor
of the Iron Frame.
A similar case was C. H. Metcalfe
and his brother Fred. C. H. had or-
dered a Pipe Frame house, but when
the materials for his brother's Iron
Frame began to arrive he was so
thoroughly convinced of its superi-
ority that he promptly canceled the
Pipe Frame order and contracted
for an Iron Framer 40 x 133 feet.
And then there is Anderson &
Merrill. They were entirely satis-
fled with their L & B Pipe Frame
house and bad made up their minds
to order a dup]^ate ; but, after see-
ing J. H. West & Sons' and several
others, they flopped over to the Iron
Frame construction.
The same day that Anderson &
Merrill changed their minds, our
friend C. W. Cole also "saw the
great light " and signed up for one
40x141 feet.
After the lunch was over and we
were walking back to the office, our
Boston man said he felt confident
that " in five years' time the market
growers wouldn't think of building
anything but the best Iron Frame
construction money could buy. The
ice in the Eastern section," he said,
" was broken when Alexander Por-
ter put up his big Iron Framer,
50 X 450 feet, for growing tomatoes."
We have just issued a supplement
to our Iron Frame Catalogue, show-
ing half a dozen or more splendid,
big double -page illustrations of
some of these houses.
Send for it. Get posted on what
your brother grower is doing.

The FV^rists' Review
113
The Disastrous Storms and Cyclones of this Spring,
which caused such heavy damage to the trade in almost all parts of the country, should no doubt
teach greenhouse builders some lessons. While seemingly nothing can resist a cyclone when it strikes
with full force, some styles of construction stood the heavy storms while others under the same con-
ditions have collapsed. We recommend in our construction to use purlin posts set solid in concrete
to withstand the pressure, and the purlins safely tied down to prevent the suction of the storm — and
no loss has been reported to us on any of these houses with exception of one case where the storm
picked up part of a shed from a distance and threw it on the houses, demolishing that part which was
struck. '
We further recommend the Dietsch short-roof construction, which has no purlin poets, but the
corrugated-like surface which these houses present to the storm seems to offset the force of pressure
and suction and no loss has been reported to us whatever.
At the same time please note that our construction, which has stood the test so well, is inex-
pensive.
