WHEN LACK OF LIQHT
' xt MAKES ROSES LAG
To make two hlades of grass grow where only one grew before — that
famous achievement strikes one as being highly commendable, sometimes,
but not especially difficidt. But to increase the crop of roses in the gloom
of midwinter — that is a task so big as to require a grower's best skill.
wm
I YEAR with punc-
I tilious regularity,
commencing about
January 1 and con-
tinuing until the
middje of February
or thereab outs,
trade reports from
all the important
flower sections east
of the Rockies
abound with com-
ments on the pro-
nounced dearth of
roses. One reads that wholesale florists
are driven almost to the point of desper-
ation in futile efforts to fill orders; that
each wholesaler is refusing to accept
business from retailers who had not
been discreet enough to form at least
a speaking acquaintance with his prod-
ucts before the stringency became a
reality instead of an expectancy; that
relief is weeks away.
Unavailing Begrets.
With mingled feelings of grief and
consternation, growers see the daily pro-
duction decrease to numbers most mi-
nute. They observe with dismay the
upward trend of prices, and figure the
profits that might be theirs if it had
been possible for them earlier in the
season to devise some ar-
rangement whereby they
would have been able to
regulate growth to their
own particular fancy. And
yet, why not? Affiliated
with the trade are men
of rare genius; men who
could, if they would but
concentrate their minds
upon the project, evolve a
method which would in-
crease January and Feb-
ruary production or at
least assure a satisfactory
continuity of growth. The
latter possibility would at
all events place January
and February on a par
■with other months as far
as production is con-
cerned.
The minimized produc-
tivity during the two
months in question has
been attributed to three
potential causes; namely,.,
lack of sunlight in Novem- '
ber and December, lack of
sunlight in January and

As the majority of explanations of
the various phenomena of vegetable
organisms are hypothetical and based
on the observations of the one expound-
ing, it is in part permissible for one
to advance his own particular conten-
tion concerning the matter in question.
Old Sol Is King.
On that basis the following theory
is presented, not with the idea that it
is incontrovertibly correct, but with
the sincere belief of the writer that it
is at least as plausible as any theory
on the subject at present available,
and worthy of being advanced as an
argument toward the correct solution
of the problem.
Extension of plant growth is only
possible through the influence of the
sun's rays. The fundamental element
of all the building compounds manu-
factured in the cells of the plant (car-
bohydrates) is thus created. The
leaves through their stomata appropri-
ate carbon dioxide from the air and
conduct it inward through their canals,
to cells, whose protoplasmic contents
contain chlorophyl, a substance having

the capacity, through the action of the
sun's rays upon it, to work up this
atmospheric gas. The oxygen is sepa-
rated from the carbon and a large por-
tion of it is expelled back again to
the atmosphere from which it was
taken. The carbon is retained and, ac-
cording to botanical demonstrations, is
used in building up the fibrous parts of
the plant.
The carbon and oxygen, after being
worked up by chlorophyl under the in-
fluence of the sun's rays, are joined
by hydrogen to make compounds known
as carbohydrates. These are recognized
as the most important organized com-
pounds in plant life, as they enter into
the combination of all other compounds
— albumens, starch, etc. — either direct-
ly or indirectly.
Thus the important part played by
the sun on fundamental growth is ap-
parent. Without it the world would
become a bleak and desolate waste.
When the Plants Start Growth.
To explain properly the effect of the
sun or lack of sun during the months
of November, December, January and
February, on rose production during
January and February, our theory
makes it necessary to start our obser-
vations and explanations immediately
after the carried-over rose
bushes are pruned and
started into growth in
July or August, or, in the
case of young stock, from
the time they are
benched.
However, as the effect
of the sun's rays is the
same at both ages of the
plant, we will take the
carried-over plants as our
point in the case.
After the pruning is
finished and water is ap-
plied, with judicious addi-
tions to the soil in which
the roots reside, and after
leaf growth has made its
appearance with rapid in-
crease, then the manufac-
turing of building com-
pounds, from the nutrient
food salts absorbed by the
roots from the soil and
from the nutrient food
gases absorbed from the
air by the leaves, begins
in the cells of the leaves.
Contemporary growth
utilizes part of these
compounds, and the bal-
ance of them is stored

away in cells the purpose of whose ex-
istence is to serve as repositories for
reserve material, pending the time when
the plant will have use for it.
During August, September and Octo-
ber the percentage of sunlight is high.
Day in and day out the leaf cells work
incessantly, creating compounds out of
raw material, transporting as much as
is required to points where growth is
going on and transporting the balance
to the reserve or repository cells.
Using Beserve Energy.
Then comes November, bleak, cold
November, with its shortening days,
cloudy skies and cold atmosphere. Sun-
light is decreased to a point inadequate
to meet the current requireinents of
growth, and, according to the system
under which cell extension is conducted,
the plants should pass into a semi-
comatose condition. This will happen
and should happen if the plants lacked
sufficient leaf area during August, Sep-
tember and October to permit provident
provision against such an exigency.
Plants whose growth during those
months of maximum sunlight was suffi-
cient to permit the manufacturing and
storing away of reserve building mate-
rials are now able to continue expansion
is more j)revalent than was the case in
November and December. This fact in
itself seems to sustain the theory that
growth during the first two months of
the discussed period is able to go for-
ward without perceptible retardation,
through the utilization of the building
materials manufactured and stored
away during August, September and
October, and that growth during the
last two months of the dark-weather
period is only extended in proportion
to the building materials manufactured
in the leaf cells during the hours of
sunlight occurring in these two months,
January and February.
Will Electricity Solve the Problem?
The big proposition to be solved by
the constituents of rosedom, in order
to obviate this ostensible cause of an-
nual January and February rose dearth,
is the substitution of artificial light for
solar light during the dark weather in
November and December.
Electricity would solve the problem.
But would the cost of the installation
and operation of the necessary appa-
ratus, augmented by the cost of current,
be reasonable enough to afford a small
margin of profit from the sale of in-
creased production?
Better still, could not electricity be
modes of circumvention now within his
reach. Keep all sashbars, supports and
structural work immaculately clean.
Paint them with aluminum bronze. Be-
move as much as possible of the shadow-
producing material. Try to produce as
much leaf growth as possible on your
plants during the summer and early fall.
At all times bear in mind that it is the
province of the leaves to absorb the
colored rays of the sun, and the condi-
tion of the structural work should be
such as to permit its reflecting the rays
that fall upon its surface downward
onto the leaves of the plants.
To see that all these admonitions are
heeded will result in at least a small
increase in productivity.
AMEBIOAN CABNATION SOCIETY.
The Banquet. .
The twenty-fifth anniversary meeting
of the American Carnation Society, re-
ported in full in The Review for Jan-
uary 27, closed with a banquet at the
Planters' hotel, a fine affair in which
150 guests and local florists partici-
pated. Mrs. David Scott Gfeddis dis-
tinguished herself by singing several
selections with the excellent orchestra
that furnished music through the eve-
Banquet of American Caraation Society at the Planiers' Hotel, St. Louii, January 27.
without perceptible hindrance. Chem-
ical action withdraws, as needed, the
reserve materials from the storage cells
and conveys them to the parts where
growth is going on.
When the Beserve is Exhausted.
Observation and theory, based partly
on scientific knowledge and partly on
conjecture, seem to indicate that the
supply of stored up nutrients is only
sufficient to properly mature December
growth, or, in trade parlance, Christ-
mas crops.
As soon as this growth is severed
from the plants, a recurrence of activ-
ity in cell expansion is markedly slow.
The plants seem to stand still and do
not begin to produce satisfactorily
again until around the middle of Feb-
ruary. Sunlight during the interval
generated in the power plant of every
greenhouse at a small advance over the
average cost of steam generation?
Some day some of our geniuses will get
their heads together and this dream
will be transformed into an actuality.
Fancy the sight some of our large
tose establishments would present on a
cloudy November day! Myriads of arc
lights over the roofs of the houses, ra-
diating a golden glow and imparting
energy to the plants within, causing
them to perform an honest day's toil
in payment of the heat expended on
them, and eliminating the rose growers '
bugaboo, low January and February
production!
Present Possibilities.
Until such a boon is possible it will
behoove the rosarian to utilize the
ning. The tables were handsomely dec-
orated with carnations from the exhibi-
tion hall. After cigars had been passed
President-elect J. F. Ammann. the toast-
master, praised the heads of the local
committees for the great work they ac-
complished and gave them full credit
for the success of the meeting. He
then called upon George Asmus, of Chi-
cago, chairman of the National Flower
Show committee. Mr. Asmus spoke in
glowing terms of the show to be held
in Philadelphia next month and urged
all to attend.
President Joseph Hill spoke of this
year's meeting as the best the society
has ever held and said, from the com-
ments of the other members, St. Louis
can have the meeting whenever it wants
it. \

was next called on, Mr. Vesey said it
was too early to talk of next year's
show at Indianapolis, but promised the
time of their lives to all who attend.
Wm. Nicholson, of Framingham,
Mass., was called on and gave five min-
utes of good, sound talk on this and
former exhibitions. One always can de-
pend on Mr. Nicholson to be with the
society whenever it holds its meeting.
The next speaker was Robert C. Kerr,
of Houston, Tex., vice-president of the
Society of American Florist^. Mr. Kerr
gave some good reasons why the mem-
bers should attend this year's S. A, F.
meeting at Houston. He spoke par-
ticularly of the Texas weather condi-
tions in the good old summer time and
cited the case of his friend, Philip Fo-
ley, who spent a month with him last
summer and lost no weight. "Anyone
coming to Houston next August," he
said, "will find the cooling gulf breezes
next to a summer resort and a good, big
time is assured."
Tlie Closing Day.
During the afternoon of the second
day the visitors were taken in hand by
the local committee for an automobile
trip through the city, which ended at
the Missouri Botanical Garden, where
Manager W. W. Ohlweiler supplied
guides for a tour through the garden,
which was much enjoyed by all.
The Planters' hotel was never so
crowded by "St. Louis people as on the
two days of the exhibition. The local
retailers distributed 20,000 tickets to
their customers, and, according to the
visiting florists, it was the most suc-
cessful meeting and exhibition the so-
ciety has ever held.
THE BANQUET AT OLEN COVE.
The members and friends of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society,
to the number of seventy-five, assem-
bled at the Oriental hotel, Glen Cove,
January 25, to celebrate the society's
tenth annual dinner. The tables were
decoirated with plants of Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine, Primula malacoides, free-
sias, narcissi, etc. Because of illness,
President James MacDonald was absent,
and Vice-president Joseph Adler pre-
sided. Mr. Adler made an address of
welcome to the guests and members
and asked each one to do his full share
toward disposing of the dinner. His
bidding was strictly carried out.
When the cigars were in order Mr.
\Adler introduced Charles H. Totty as
toafltmaster of the evening. Mr.
Totty 's anecdotes and verses wejre en-
joyed by everyone. The firist speaker
called on by Mr. Totty was Jame^ Cox,
supervisor of Nassau county, who ably
responded to the toast, "Our Country."

John Johnstone spoke for the Nassau
County Horticultural Society and said
that among other things which the so-
ciety was proud of was that one of its
members. John W. EVeritt, has had the
honor or being president of the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners.
The toast, "The Trade Press," was
eloquently taken care of by W. Stewart,
while J. Austin Shaw in his own
inimitable manner fairly outdid him-
self in the response he made to "The
Ladies." The seed trade was spoken
for by J. A. Deamund, George Burnett,
Wm. J. Collins and W. A. Sperling.
William Duckham responded for the
Morris County Horticultural Society,
and in the course of his remarks urged
the support of our members at the in-
ternational Flower Show, to be held in
New York. Thomas Lee spoke for the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society, and
James Duthie for the Oyster Bay Horti-
cultural Society. Other speakers were
Charles McCarthy, Frank Browne,
Lester Ortiz and John Davis. A pleas-
ant feature of the evening was the pres-
entation of a pair of gold cuflf but-
tons to Ernest Westlake, in apprecia-
tion of his efficient services as presi-
dent of the society during the last year.

DUTY OUT IN HALF, flr^^ jj
Court Acts on Importer's Appeal.
For the future, or until an act of
Congress makes a change, the duty on
tulip bulbs will be 50 cents per thour
sand. The court of last resort has so
decided.
The United States Court of Customs
Appeals has rendered its decision in the
case of the appeal of Maltus & Ware,
of New York, from a decision of the
Board of United States General Ap-
praisers upholding the assessment of the
collector of customs, who held certain
tulip bulbs to be dutiable at the rate of
$1 per thousand under the second clause
of paragraph 210 of the Tariff Act of
October 3, 1913. The importers claimed
that the sixth clause thereof, known
as the catch-all provision, providing a
duty of 50 cents per thousand, was ap-
plicable to the importation.
Text of the Decision.
In a decision handed down by Judge
Barber, the Court of Customs Appeals
states:
"The determination of the issue re-
quires not only an examination of para-
graph 210 but its predecessor, paragraph
263 of the Act of 1909, as well, and we
here insert them:
210. Orchids, palms, Azalea Indlca, and cut
flowers, preserved or fresh, 25 per centum ad
valorem; Illy of the valley pips, tulips, nar-
cissus, begonia, and gloxinia bulbs. $1 per thou-
sand; hyacinth bulbs, astllbe, dlelytra, and Illy
of the valley clumps, |2.50 per thousand; Illy
bulbs and calla bulbs or corms, $5 per thousand;
herbaceous peony. Iris Kaempferl or Germanlca,
canna, dahlia and amaryllls bulbs. $10 per thou-
sand: all other bulbs, roots, root stocks, corms,
and tubers, which are cultivated for their flowers
or foliage, 50 cents per thousand: Provided, That
all mature mother flowering bulbs Imported ex-
clusively for propagating purposes shall be ad-
mitted free of duty.
263. Orchids, palms, azaleas, and all other
decorative or greenhouse plants and cut flowers,
preserved or fresh, twenty-five per centum ad
valorem; Illy of the valley pips, tulip, narcissus,
begonia, and gloxinia bulbs, $1 per thousand;
hyacinth, astllbe. dlelytra, and lily of the valley
clumps, $2.50 per thousand; lily bulbs and calla
bulbs. $5 per thousand: peony. Iris Kaempferi
or Germanlca, canna, dahlia, and amaryllls bulbs
$10 per thousand; all other bulbs, bulbous roots
or corms which are cultivated for their flowers
or foliage, 60 cents per thousand.
"At once it appears that there are
in each of these two paragraphs six
separate clauses providing for different
rates of duty, while in the correspond-
ing clauses the rates are the same. We
are here interested mainly in a com-
parison of the second clauses respec-
tively, because, if these tulip bulbs are
not dutiable under that clause of para-
graph 210, it seems to be conceded that
the sixth clause thereof is applicable.
Grammatical Construction.
"In the earlier paragraph the second
clause provided for 'lily of the valley
pips, tulip, narcissus, begonia, and glox-
inia bulbs,' while that clause of the
paragraph now in force reads 'lily of
the valley pips, tulips, narcissus, be-
gonia, and gloxinia bulbs.' In the
earlier statute the word tulip is gram-
matically an adjective modifier of bulbs,
while in the latter paragraph the word
tulips is not grammatically an adjec-
tive modifier, but is a noun, and the im-
porter's claim here is founded wholly
upon this change in the language of the
two clauses.
"It is unnecessary to cite authorities
to the proposition that the fact that
the language of a statute is changed or-
dinarily presumes a legislative intent to
correspondingly change preexisting law,
and, further, that unless a statute is
ambiguous there is no occasion to in-
voke rules of construction. It must be
understood and applied according to
the natural import of the language em-
ployed. Accompanying this latter rule
is another well recognized that^ if con-
strued in its ordinary meaning and
grammatical construction, the applica-
tion of the statute leads to manifest
contradiction of the apparent purpose
of the enactment or to absurdity, hard-
ship, or injustice, not intended, the
cgurts will, if the same is possible, in-
terpret the language employed to avoid
these consequences. Endlich On Inter-
pretation of Statutes, section 295;
United States v. Kirby, 74 U. S. 482;
Church of Holy Trinity v. United States,
143 U. S. 457; Lau Ow Bew v. United
States, 144 U. S. 47, 59; United States
V. Eiggs, 203 U. S. 136; Reide v. United
States, 2 Ct. Oust. Appls. (T. D. 32166).
History of the Paragraph.
' ' The government here in effect urges
that although grammatically construed
the statute may warrant the importer's
contention, nevertheless, in view of the
history of the paragraph, its context
and spirit, it should not be given that
effect and suggests that the addition of
the letter 's' to the word 'tulip' in the
earlier clause was the result of a typo-
graphical error.
"It appears that when the tariff bill
was first introduced in the House the
paragraph of the act of 1913 under con-
sideration was identical with paragraph
263 of the act of 1909 except that the
letter 's' was added to tulip. Compar-
ing the paragraph as introduced with
the same as finally enacted, we find nu-
merous changes have been made there-
in; words have been stricken out, others
have been inserted or added, a proviso
attached, and with respect to the duty
rates, synonymous forms "of expression
have been employed. The only change
made in the second clause, it is true, is
the use of equivalent language for de-
claring the same rate of duty, but, in
view of the fact that the entire para-
graph was the subject of such careful
consideration and close inspection, we
cannot believe that the change from
tulip to tulips was overlooked. When
it is also considered that the paragraph,
as a part of the bill, underwent various
reprints in its legislative journey, the
conclusion seems irresistible that the
letter 's' was purposely introduced and
deliberately retained.
"Neither are we at all clear that it
can be said that the results consequent
upon enforcing this clause according to
Dinner of the Nassau County Horticultural Society, Glen Cove, L. Lt'January 23.

its grammatical construction are such
as to conflict with the spirit or context
of the paragraph, are absurd, unjust, or
presumably not intended. Under the
earlier paragraph tulip bulbs fell within
the second clause; under the latter they
are relegated to the sixth clause and pay
one-half the duty formerly assessed
thereon and one-half the duty now as-
sessed upon articles within the second
clause. Congress may well have thought
it a wise policy to change the classifi-
cation of tulip bulbs in this manner and
as to the wisdom of such policy we have
no power to inquire. The context of
the paragraph is adapted as well to the
one as to the other construction, and it
is also consistent therewith to impose
upon tulips the rate of duty that was
formerly assessed upon tulip bulbs.
Congteaa Had a Parpoae?
"The whole issue and its determina-
tion may be summed up as follows:
Congress has apparently deliberately
substituted 'tulips,' the noun, for 'tu-
lip,' the adjective, is presumed to have
intended to do so, and no sufficient legal
reason exists to justify the court in
saying such was not the intent. No
strained construction should be indulged
unless clearly necessary to accomplish
the execution of a congressional pur-
pose, and where two constructions are
equally probable that one should not
be adopted which results in the imposi-
tion of the higher tax.
"In Breck v. United States, 2 Ct.
Cust. Appeals 26 (T. D. 31576), an
analogous question was considered, cases
were examined and, quoting from End-
lich on the Interpretation of the Stat-
utes, it was said, 'It is a well settled
rule of construction that the gram-
matical sense must be adopted unless
there are within the statutes cogent rea-
sons indicating a contrary intent upon
the part of the lawmakers.*
"The judgment of the Board of
United States General Appraisers is re-
versed. ' '
Refunds Now in Order.
The effect of this decision by the
court of last resort in such cases is to
fix the duty on tulip bulbs hereafter
imported during the life of the law at
50 cents per thousand.
A large number of protests have been
filed and are pending awaiting this de-
cision and it is to be presumed the
Board of General Appraisers now will
act on these protests in the light of the
judgment of the court. This will open
the way to claims for refund in each
case in which a protest was filed before
the date of the decision, but in no other.
NO BUDS ON BOUVARDIA.
have a bed of bouvardias, from
which I had a good cut at Christmas,
but about OQe-half of the shoots are
growing up to three feet in height and
do not seem to set buds. Any informa-
tion on this would be appreciated.
A. T. F.— R. I.
It not infrequently happens that bou-
vardias are left outdoors a little too
late and that the embryo flower buds
are destroyed in the ends of the shoots.
It is not necessary for the temperature
to fall as low as the freezing point to
do this damage. Have you . practiced
reducing the number of shoots on your
plants? If not, try it another year.
Cut away all the weak shoots and you
will be surprised how small a propor-
tion of them fail to flower. C. W.
TIMING LILIES AND HYACINTHS.
What heat should we nlaintain at
night for a new crop of giganteum
lilies, after they have budded and have
been placed on the bench, to bring them
in for Easter? We have 10,000 hya-
cinths in pots. How long will it take
them to flower from the time they are
taken out of the ground, well rooted?
What heat should be maintained at
night? G. G.— S. C.
In South Carolina, Lilium giganteum
wanted for Easter should now be in a
night temperature of 60 degrees. This
heat probably will bring them about
right, although much depends on the
weather from now on. If you can see
the buds five weeks before Easter, a
night temperature of 65 to 70 degrees
will bring them on time and allow
a few days to harden them off. If you
can see the buds by March 1, 60 degrees
at night will bring them on and they
probably can be run much cooler the
last two weeks.
Hyacinths, well rooted and brought
into a night temperature of 60 degrees
the first week of February — which is
quite early enough for the first batch
— will flower in twenty-one days. As
the season advances they will take less
time and less heat. To have them for
Easter, allow them two weeks in a
coldframe. Raise the sash one foot
back and front and shade with hay to
keep the plants cool. L.

as to the wisdom of such policy wo liave
no power to inquire. The context of
the i)ara<jraph is adapted as well to tli(!
one as to the other construction, and it
is also consistent therewith to impose
u])on tulips the rat<( of duty that was
formerly assessed upon tulip bulbs.
Congress Had a Purpose?
"The whole issue and its determina-
tion may be summed up as follows:
(^onjjress has apparently deliberately
substituted 'tulips,' tlie noun, for 'tu-
liji, ' the adjective, is jjresumed to have
intended to do so, and no suflicient lejjal
reason exists to justify the court in
saying such was not the intent. No
strained construction should be indulged
unless clearly necessary to accomplish
the execution of a congressional pur-
pose, and where two constructions arc
equally probable that one should not
be adopted which results in the imposi-
tion of the higher t^ix.

analogous question was considered, cases
were examined and, quoting from End-
lich on the Interpretation of the Stat-
utes, it was said, 'It is a well settled
rule of construction that tlic i^ram-

there are within the statutes cog(Mit rea-
sons indicating a contrary intent upon
the part of the lawmaker's.'

resulting liquid clear, not adding any

My theory is that lime is a preventive
of stem-rot and kindred diseases and
that the dipping of the plants in the
lime-sulphur solution not only kills red
spider, but also the spores of any of
the fungoid diseases that the carnation
is heir too. Geo. N. Tyler.
EUONYMUS rOE CHRISTMAS.
During the Christmas holidays in this
locality, northwestern South Carolina,
the outdoor Euonymus Japonica formed
a picture not readily forgotten by those
interested in berry-bearing plants.
There were hundreds of old bushes and
hedges that were a perfect glow of
color, fairly outrivaling the holly. A
few days before Christmas a lady came
to me with an armful of the euonymus
branches and wished to know the name
of the plant. She remarked that she
had been born and reared in the south,
- but could not remember having ever
before seen anything so beautiful. She
asked me to go with her to see an old
hedge of this euonymus, growing in
front of a negro's shanty. It surely
was a beautiful sight. She asked the
old negro "mammy" how long the
bushes had been growing there. The
reply was: "Sure, Honey, dey's been
dar ebber since the days of freedom"
—referring, of course, to the Civil war.
Any florist who could put these plants
on the market, berried as they have
been in this vicinity, could sell them
faster than they could be produced, and
no salesman would be required to dis-
pose of them; they would sell them-
selves. The great curse of the euony-
mus is its liability to be infested with
scale, but, starting with clean stock,
it is not a difl&cult matter to keep this
pest under control. H. J. Corfield.
UME-SULPHUE FOE STEM-EOT.
In response to Isaac A. Passmore's
request in The Eeview of January 12
for further details on the use of lime
and sulphur for stem-rot of carnations,
I want to say that I covered everything
in my article of November 11, 1915, on
page 38, under the title of "Stem-rot
and Other Diseases." At that time I
said I had not lost one plant out of 5,000
and that none of them was diseased in
any way. At this later date I can
again say that out of the 5,000 plants
in the benches not one have I lost, nor
have any of them showed a sign of any
disease. They are all in strong growth
and have been blooming all winter,
and are full of buds and blooms now.
I am a great believer in lime in the
soil for carnations. I learned this when
William Scott was the leading pink;
Daybreak, the light pink; Lizzie Mc-
Gowan, the white; Portia, the red. The
way I discovered the use of lime was
peculiar. There is an old Indian mound
near my former place and this mound
is at least one-third oyster and clam
shells. Plants grown in the soil of this
motind made a much stronger growth
M*4ind the stems of weak-stemmed vari-
'^' eties were stiffened. I decided that it
was the lime in the soil. I limed a part
of a bench for experiment. In the
course of two or three weeks there was
such a marked improvement that the
plants limed appeared to be a different
variety. Since then I add a four-inch
potfiil of hydrated lime to a large bar-
row-load of soil, which is thoroughly
mixed. Air-slaked lime is not as bene-
ficial as -the hydrated.
When transplanting to the field in
early spring, I use hydrated lime on the
soil at the rate of about 1,500 pounds
to the acre. After the ground has been
spaded or plowed, the lime is applied
and thoroughly raked or harrowed in.
When lifting in the fall, I dip the
tops of the plants in a fungicide pre-
pared as follows: Put twenty-five
pounds of quicklime in a 50-gallon bar-
rel; add enough water to slake, and
while it is boiling add ten pounds of
flowers of sulphur. Keep this well
stirred with a shovel or paddle until
it is thoroughly slaked; then flll up the
barrel with water and stir thoroughly
again. Then let it settle and it will
form a golden-colored liquid. Use one
part of this liquid to one part of water.
For mildew on roses and all fungous
diseases, I spray the foliage and the
ground around the plants, as well as
the plants in the houses, with this so-
lution. Dipping field-grown plants in
this fungicide kills all red spider and
the spores of most of the diseases that
the carnation is heir to.
This liquid will not evaporate in the
barrel, as it forms a scum over the top.
After using the first mixture, fill the
barrel again with water and stir thor-
oughly. After it has settled, use the
CATEEPILLAES ON CINEEAEIAS.
I am sending some small gray moths
which fly around my greenhouse at
night; also, small green worms which
are found on the under side of the
leaves of my cinerarias and other
plants. Last fall these worms de-
stroyed foliage and some blooms on
chrysanthemums. The worms are ex-
tremely small at first, growing to one-
half inch in length and forming a cob-
web-like nest on the under side of the
leaves. I have tried strong nicotine,
also Slug Shot, with no apparent effect.
Can you tell me what they are and how
to get rid of them?
E. S. H.— N. T.
These moths can be caught in con-
siderable numbers if you will hang
sticky fly papers here and there in your
house. Fumigation has no effect on the
caterpillars which commonly attack
chrysanthemums, cinerarias and some
other plants. Nicotine juice sprayed
on the foliage will often kill these, but
the safest remedy is to go over the af-
fected leaves and squeeze the worms
between the finger and thumb. The
worm is probably the same one which
often attacks lettuce. Pyrethrum pow-
der mixed with flour has been found
efficacious as a remedy if dusted on the
foliage. C. W.

Allamandas.
Plants of A. Williamsi or A. Hender-
soni which have been resting for some
time should be pruned back now and
sprayed freely, but watered moderately
until they start to break, at which time
necessary top-dressing or potting can
be done. A. Hendersoni is a splendid
climber. A. Williamsi, with smaller
flowers, makes either a climber or bush
plant. For the latter purpose it is
most valuable, flowering profusely in
the hot summer months when flowering
pot plants are scarce.
Heliotropes.
Heliotropes can be propagated eas-
ily from either cuttings or seed. Ee-
Cently there has been an increased call
for standard heliotropes. These are ex-
cellent, either for pot and tub culture
or bedding out, using low. growing
plants beneath them. Seedling helio-
tropes make the best standards, pos-
sessing, as they do, more vigor than
cuttings. Keep the seedlings potted on,
selecting the most vigorous for stand-
ards. Keep them staked and run them
up without pinching until they have a
sufficient length of stem, which may be
anywhere from eighteen to thirty-six
inches long. Bub off all side shoots
as they appear and, after pinching out
the top, as the shoots break away pinch
them before they come into flower. It
takes a year or more to develop good
standards, but they can be kept for sev-
eral years and always command a good
figure.
Eambler Boses.
It is now about three months to
Easter and if the rambler roses wanted
in bloom at that time are housed now
and started fairly cool, 45 to 50 de-
grees at night, and later given 55 de-
grees at night, they will be on time.
Cut out all dead and weak wood and
bend around the strong leaves so that
they will 4)reak more evenly. Each
grower has his own favorite varieties,
but half a dozen good sorts are
Tausendschon, Hiawatha, Lady Gay,
Dorothy Perkins, Excelsa and American
Pillar. If a white is wanted, try
White Dorothy, but colored varieties
sell much better for Easter.

it at its best grow it fairly cool, about
50 degrees at night; then the pure white
racemes possess more substance. This
is a most graceful plant and one of
such easy culture that no one need be
afraid to try it. From cuttings put in
now — which root as easily as heliotropes
— strong plants in 8-inch or 9-inch pots
can be had in flower next January.
Cuttings put in as late as September
will make nice little plants in 4-inch
or 5-inch pots.
Bouvardia Humboldtii.
In order to propagate Bouvardia
Humboldtii, the popular, sweet-scented,
pure white bouvardia, prune back one
or two of the old plants which have
been resting and place them in a warm,
moist house. The plants will soon
throw out a fine crop of succulent cut-
tings. Rub these off with a heel and
insert in a warm cutting bench. They
will soon root and can be potted on in
a warm house, gradually hardened and
planted outdoors early in June. Eight
or ten weeks in a well prepared piece
of land will give you quite nice plants
the first season. While most of the
bouvardias are best if propagated from
root cuttings, B. Humboldtii is an ex-
ception.
CALIiAS NOT FLOWERING.
My callas were planted in solid beds
and were partly dried off after last
season's growth. These were started
about August 15 and have made fine,
strong, healthy growth, but do not send
up any flower stalks. The night tem-
perature is 52 degrees. Can you tell
me the cause of the trouble?
G. K.— 111.
Your plants have too much root run
and for that reason will not flower
freely early in the season, like pot-
grown ones. I do not know what you
can do to hurry along the flowering.
You will have to wait until the plants
are heavily rooted and you will prob-
ably get lots of flowers in late winter
and spring. Another year try your
callas in pots and they will start to
bloom in October and continue until
early summer. Three tubers in each 8-
inch pot will give fine results. Feed
with fine bone as a top-dressing, in addi-
tion to using liquid manure, and you
will get a wonderful crop of flowers.
C. W.
A COMBINATION WBEATH.
If men in general are known by the
company they keep, a florist is as surely
known, in many cases, by the charac-
ter and financial standing of the pa-
trons he keeps — or fails to keep.
Customers of small means may have
to be satisfied sometimes with inferior
fiowers or designs, or at least they
must accept the floral "seconds" with
as good grace as possible if they have
not enough money to purchase any-
thing better. If beggars must not be
choosers, neither must buyers be choos-
ers beyond the limits prescribed by
their pocketbooks. If they cannot af-
ford to deal with the florist who fur-
nishes first-class stock, arranged with
exquisite artistic discrimination, they
must needs go to a second-class florist
and buy second-class wares — unless, per-
chance, they find one of those resource-
ful florists who cater successfully to
"all sorts and conditions of men.'*
But wealthy people are not under the
necessity of trading with any florist
who has not established the right sort
of reputation. If they are willing and
able to pay for the best, they will go
to the florist who can supply the best.
There seems to be reason, then, for
drawing a fairly positive inference in
regard to the character of the flowers
and designs furnished by A. Kottmiller,
of New York city. The Eeview of
November 25 contained a picture of a
wreath that was made by Mr. Kott-
miller for the tomb of C. P. Morosini,
a partner of Jay Gould, and the illus-
tration on this page shows another
wreath that was prepared by Mr.
Kottmiller for one of the leading fam-
ilies of . his big and rich city. The
character of such patronage is a testi-
mony to the character of his mer-
chandise.
In the present case, however, the
wreath speaks for itself, and speaks
convincingly, as the picture is clear
enough to do a fair degree of justice
to the original. The flowers used are
orchids and valley, and they are so ar-
ranged as to form what is designated
as a "combination father and mother
wreath," ordered in memory of the
parents.

TESTING CANNAS IN TENNESSEE.
Selecting Gk>od Varieties.
We decided this season to make a
fairly complete test of cannas in our
grounds in the vicinity of Nashville,
Tenn., so that we could be sure we were
growing the best, and so that our cus-,
tomers could come to our place and
make their selections for next year's
planting. One of our neighbors, an
amateur grower, decided to make a
test also, and he grew the few commer-
cial varieties not in our fields. This
makes our test pretty complete, and as
our summer was unusually cool, with
no excess of rain, the results ought to
tally pretty closely with those obtained
in the north.
"We used ordinary garden soil, natural-
ly a heavy clay, which had been manured
pretty well in the past, but was not
"manured this season. It was conveni-
ent to use plenty of water and this was
done. My neighbor used similar soil
that had been heavily fertilized with
stable manure. His plants showed
■ rather better growth than ours, but pro-
duced no better blooms.
It is my purpose to state our results
with some of the newer and more widely
advertised varieties, whether they have
been a success or not, and then to give
our decision as to the best varieties of
each color for general use. Varieties
that have no especial merit above other
varieties of the same general color and
height will not be mentioned. Unfor-
' /tunately, neither of us was able to se-
cure either Blanche Wintzer or the three
• Dreer novelties, as we got our orders
in after these were sold out. I men-
tion this so that no one may conclude
that they have done poorly with us.
We have not seen them.
The cannas under my care were all
started in the greenhouse and were set
in the field about the middle of May.
Some were set during the first part of
May, but not many were ready at that
time. My neighbor planted only dry
roots, in the first few days of May. We
can see no diflference in results in any
way. The quantities varied from only
one of some of the 1915 novelties to
500 or 1,000 of some of the varieties we
handle in the largest quantities. But
the conditions have been exactly the
same throughout.
Desirable White Sorts.
Mont Blanc Improved grew poorly
and gave inferior blooms in the first
part of the season, but in the last three
months of the season the plants were
vigorous, growing fully four feet tall
and producing a constant show of prac-
tically white flowers in good, large
heads, held well above the foliage. This
is so much better than any of the other
whites that no other will bear compari-
son with it, except Flag of Truce.
Flag of Truce is the best in a way
that we have in our test. It is more
nearly white than the most faded Al-
sace; in fact, it is alinost equal to Mont
Blanc Improved at its best. It is
faintly dotted with pink, especially
toward the center. Of course the dots
are not seen at a distance of two or
three feet. But the color ii not the

great thing with this canna. It is one
of the most vigorous growers we have,
having thrown nineteen shoots by the
middle of September, though started as
a small 3-inch, pot plant. The plant
reached a height of six feet and has not
shown fewer than three heads of bloom
since June. The flowers are large, meas-
uring from five to five and one-half
inches in diameter without spreading
the petals, or from six to six and one-
half inches across with the petals
straightened out. The petals are fully
two and one-half inches broad. This
means a flower as large as the best King
Humbert. The foliage is green, large
and luxuriant. The spikes have all
branched into four good bloom heads,
and the heads are as large as those of
the largest red varieties.
Various Shades of Pink.
Mrs. Alfred Conard has been a mass
of the most exquisite watermelon-pink
flowers of the largest size, all summer.
The heads/ are large. The plant lacks
somewhat in vigor and so needs good
care. It has scarcely made four feet in
height. We showed a vase of the
blooms at an educational convention
recently, and the color was so unusual
that few recognized them as canna
blooms. It will not be cheap for a
while yet, as it is a somewhat shy mul-
tiplier.
Canna rosea gigantea is a counter-
part of Mrs. Alfred Gonard, as nearly
as two cannas could be counterparts, all
but color. It is a bright, handsome
carmine pink, and so different from
Mrs. Conard in color that there will
always be a difference of opinion as to
which is the more beautiful.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is a tall, strong-
growing canna, with an abundance of
green leaves and enormous heads of
large flowers, resembling rosea gigantea
in color, only a shade more nearly car-
mine. There are iiot a dozen varieties
in our test that have made more shoots
or more blooms. Where a canna five
feet or more in height is desired, it
cannot be excelled in its color.
Maid of Orleans is one of the most
beautiful cannas we have ever seen.
Even if it did not bloom, it is worth
growing for its exquisite green foliage,
the most beautiful of all canna foliage.
The flowers are of the largest, and the
color is a mottling of cream and crab-
apple-blossom pink. It grows four and
one-half feet or a little more in height.
Its only fault is that it is somewhat
shy in blooming.
Loveliness is a dwarf canna that is
only of value as a border for other can-
nas, or where it is desired to have plen-
ty of beautiful blooms with plants that
will not reach a height of over three
feet. The flowers are large, and if there
is such a thing as a ruby pink, it is seen
in this canna. It is one of the varie-
ties that never fail to be singled out
for comment. The foliage is green.
Wabash is one of the ten or twelve
cannas that can easily be called the
best. In foliage it is equal to any of
the bronzes. Its constitution is vigor-
ous and the height is just right, five
feet with us. It is a free producer of
extra large flowers, carried well above

the foliage, and the color is one of the
best carmine pinks. It has been called
,a bronze-leaved rosea gigantea, but it
is better and larger than that variety
and much more vigorous.
Pocahontas is a taller and more vigor-
ous Wabash, and better than that vari-
ety if possible. The color is not quite
identical, but one would not need both.
As soon as it is cheap enough, it will
be the best pink canna with bronze
foliage. It is one of the most rapid
multipliers we have ever seen.
Duke of York, Jennie Walls, Fahn-
line, Lorraine Improved and Minnehaha
are a real surprise to all who see them.
They are similar in appearjince, and I
doubt if the average grower needs more
than one. All are free, have large
flowers and good foliage, and are as
beautiful as the most fancy roses. All
are to be classed as exquisite peach-
pink, mottled with white or cream. They
are not so gorgeous as some of the reds
or yellows in large beds, but where real
beauty is desired they cannot be beat.
Many Slvals in Bed.
There are two new reds that are
rivals for the place of the best red
canna with green foliage; namely. Fire-
bird and Wintzer's Colossal. Each is
a wonder in its own way, but each has
serious weaknesses. The flowers are not
far from the same size, about seven to
eight inches across. Colossal has the
wider petals, but that is its one weak-
ness. The flowers are so heavy that
they do not stand out when wide open,
but hang over. Firebird has strong,
stiff petals, that stand out so that the
flowers show their full size. Were the
individual flowers to settle the matter,
it is easily the superior of the two. But
Colossal is a free bloomer, has plenty
of good foliage and appears to be a good
doer in every way. Firebird, on the
contrary, is rather shy in blooming, and
it has poor foliage and not enough of
it. It will never endure neglect. As
the matter stands, we do not consider
either to be the best red canna for the
ordinary grower. We have succeeded
in seeding Firebird this year and hope
to get something good from the seed.
Colossal has not seeded with us, and
we fear we shall not be able to get it
to do so. Firebird blooms on Colossal
plants would be about ideal. B.

THOMAS J. WOLFE.
IT has been said of Tom Wolfe that he was born in England, raised in India,
turned out to grass in Texas, dehorned at Beaumont and domesticated at
Waco. At any rate, big, broad-gauge, up-standing men as so many of those Texans
are, Wolfe is a leader among them — and one of the most likable fellows you
meet. He was born in England, September 19, 1870, but spent his boyhood in
the British East Indies. It was in 1890 that the family came to America, locat-
ing in Texas, first at Beaumont and later at Waco, where the father established
a florists' business in 1892 and the son became a builder. But the responsi-
bilities of the greenhouses fell on the son when the father died, in 1904. Incor-
porated in 1913, Wolfe now has one of the largest ranges of glass in the Lone
Star state.
see their new carnation. Miss Theo, at
home. Having grown a small batch of
this variety a year ago, I had a good
opinion of it. This was emphasized
when I saw some thousands of it at
home. The color is a pure rose pink,
without a trace of magenta. It is won-
derfully free-flowering and I did not
notice a single burst calyx. It is an
easy propagator. There is no other
carnation of this color which can at all
approach it in floriferousness. It is
not a big, fancy flower, but when one
can see as many as six open flowers on
a single plant in January it shows that
it iS' a money-maker. There is little
wonder that it has become popular in
Boston.
Seedling No. 44, shrimp pink in color,
which scored eighty-seven points at
Buffalo last year, is a splendid variety.
The color is better than that of En-
chantress. It is a double flower, but
the stout calyx holds it together finely.
A large batch of this is grown. A
seedling of medium size, similar in
color to Prosperity, is a wonderful
bloomer. Up to January 1 it had pro-
duced nine and one-half flowers per
square foot. Several other promising
seedlings were noted.
Of the standard varieties. Matchless,
White Wonder and White Perfection
are grown, but the last named will be
dropped. Beacon proves superior to
Champion as a scarlet. Fenn still holds
sway as a crimson, Benora as varie-
gated, and Alice is grown in preference
to Pink Delight.
In addition to carnations, one house
is devoted to Godfrey callas in pots,
which bloom with great freedom.
Among sweet peas Yarrawa loomed up
strongly. A large business is done in
nursery stock, evergreens being a spe-
cialty. I noticed a grand batchyof
Daphne Cfteorum, many of the pUtnts
of immense size. W, N. Craig.

TESTING CANNAS IN TENNESSEE.
Selecting Good Varieties.
We (leciiicil this i season to make a
fairly oompK-te test of cainias in our
grounds in the \ieiuity of Nasliville,
Tenn., so that we could be sure we were
growin;; the best, and so that our cus-
tomers could coine to our jilace and
make their selections for next year's
planting;. One of our neigiibors, an
amateur grower, decided to make a
test also, and he grew the few commer-
cial varieties not in our fields. This
makes our test jtretty complete, and as
our summer was unusually cool, with
no excess of rain, the results ought to
tally pretty closely with those obtained
in the north.
tVe used ordinary garden soil, natural-
ly a heavy clay, wliidi had been manured
pretty well in the jiast, but was not
nianure<l this season. It was conveni-
ent to use plenty of water and this was
done. My neighbor used similar soil
that had been heavily fertilized with
stable manure. Ilis plants showed
rather better growth than ours, liut pro-
duced no better blooms.
It is my jiurjiose to state our results
with sotiH- "i' the nejver and more widely
advertised \arietieii, whether they have
been a success or uot. and tiien to give
our decision as to the best varieties of
each color for general use. Varieties
that have no especi;il merit ali0\'e other
varieties of tlie siune general color and

is so much better than any of the other
whites that no other will bear compari-

Flag of Truce is the best in a way
that we have in our test. It is more
nearly white than the most faded Al-
sace; in fact, it is almost equal to Mont
b.lanc Improved at its best. It is
faintly dotted with pink, especially
toward the center. Of course the dots
are not seen at a distance of two or

gre;tt thing with this canna. It is one
I 'I' the most vigorous growers we have,
haxing thrown nineteen shoots by the
middle of S(>ptember, though started as
;i small .'I imdi pot idant. The plant
re;i( lied a height of six feet and has not
sliuwn lewer than three heads of bloom
since .luiie. Tire llnwers ai'e large, meas-
iiiing from fiv(^ to live and one-half
inches in diameter without sprea<iing
the jietah. (ir I'roin six to six and one-
half inches ."icro-s with the petals
sti'aiglitened out. The jietals are fully
two and one half inches broad. This
me.ans a llower as large as the best King
Humbert. The foliage is green, large
and luxuriant. The spikes have all
branched into four good bloom heads,
and the heads are as large as those of
the largest red varieties.
Various Shades of Pink.
Mrs. Alfred Conard has been a mass
of the most exquisite watermelon-pink
flowers of the largest size, all summer.
The heads are large. The plant lacks
somewhat in vigor and so needs good
care. It has scarcely made four feet in
height. We showed a vase of the
blooms at an educational convention
recently, and the color was so unusual
that few recognized them as canna
blooms. It will not be cheap for a
while yet, as it is a somewhat shy mul-
tiplier.
Canna rosea gigantoa is a counter-
part of Mrs. Alfred Conard, as nearly
as two cannas could be counterparts, all
but color. It is a bright, handsome
carmine pink, and so different from
Mrs. Conard in color that there will
always be a difference of opinion as to
which is the more beautiful.
]\Irs. Woodrow Wilson is a tall, strong-
growing canna, with an abundance of
green leaves and enormous heads of
large flowers, resembling rosea gigantea
in color, only a shade more nearly car-
mine. There are not a dozen varieties
in our test that have made more shoots
or more blooms. Where a canna five
feet or more in height is desired, it
cannot be excelled in its color.
Maiil of Orleans is one of the most
beautiful cannas we have ever seen.
I-Aon if it did not bloom, it is worth
growing for its exquisite green foliage,
the most Ijeautiful of all canna foliage.
The flowers are of the largest, and the
color is a mottling of cream and crab-
applo-blossom pink. It grow§ four and
one-half feet or a little nio!*'e in height.
Its only fault is that it is somcwiiat
shy in blooming.
Loveliness is a dwarf canna that is
only of value as a border for other can-
nas, or where it is desired to have plen-
ty of beautiful blooms with plants that
will not reach a height of over three
feet. Tiie flowers are large, and if there
is such a thing as a ruliy pink, it is seen
in this canna. It is one of the varie-
ties that never fail to be singled out
for comment. The foliage is green.
Wabash is one of the ten or twelve
cannas that <an easily be called the
best. In foliage it is equal to any of
the bronze^;, its constitution is vigor-
ous and the height is just right, five
feet with us. It is a free jiroduccr of
(^xtra large flowers, carried well above

the foliage, and the color is one of tins
best carmine pinks. It has been called
a bronze-leaved rosea gi},Mntoa, but it
is better and larger than that variety
and much more vigorous.
Pocahontas is a taller and more vigor-
ous Wabash, and better than that vari-
ety if possible. The color is not quite
identical, but one would not need both.
As soon as it is cheap enough, it will
be the best pink canna with bronze
foliage. It is one of the most rapid
multipliers wo have ever seen.
Duke of York, .Jennie AValls, Fahn-
line, Lorraine Improved and Minnehaha
are a real surprise to all who see tiiem.
They are similar in appearance, and I
doubt if the average grower needs more
than one. All are free, have large
flowers and good foliage, and are as
beautiful as the most fancy roses. All
are to be classed as exquisite peach-
pink, mottled with white or cream. They
are not so gorgeous as some of the reds
or yellows in large beds, but where real
beauty is desired they cannot be beat.
Many Rivals in Red.
There are two now reds that are
rivals for the place of the best red
canna with green foliage; namely, Fire-
bird and Wintzer's Colossal. Each is
a wonder in its own way, but each has
serious weaknesses. The flowers are not
far from the same size, about seven to
eight inches across. Colossal has the
wider petals, but that is its one weak-
ness. The flowers are so heavy that
they do not stand out when wide open,
but hang over. Firebird has strong,
stiff petals, that stand out so that the
flowers show their full size. Were the
individual flowers to settle the matter,
it is easily the superior of the two. But
Colossal is a free bloomer, has plenty
of good foliage and appears to be a good
doer in every way. Firebird, on the
contrary, is rather shy in blooming, and
it has poor foliage and not enough of
it. It will never endure neglect. As
the matter stands, we do not consider
either to be the best red canna for the
ordinary grower. We have succeeded
in seeding Firebird this year and hojip
to get something good from the seed.
Colossal has not seeded with us, and
we fear we shall not be able to get it
to do so. Firebird Idoonis on Colossal
plants would be aliout ideal. I>.

SEASONABLE NOTES.
Cattleyas.
Cattleya Trianse, the florists' cattleya
par excellence, now fills the center of
the stage and will do so for at least a
couple of months longer. A larger
number than usual of these appeared in
flower last Christmas, thanks to the
warm fall aijd open winter until that
time. This cattleya is cheap and every
florist who is able to grow orchids at
all should try a case of them. It is far
better to buy newly imported plants
rather than established ones. There is
always a probability of some fine types
appearing in an imported case, but if
the dealer sells established plants which
have bloomed, he usually reserves all
good forms and holds these at fancier
prices.
The repotting of cattleyas that are
done flowering should be pushed ahead
now. In eight or ten weeks there will
be a thousand and one jobs needing at-
tention and all possible potting should
be completed now. Secure an adequate
stock of fern flber if you have not
enough on hand. Use pots and pans
rather than baskets and be sure to
make the plants firm in the pots. This
cannot be done with the fingers alone;
the spongy and springy lumps of fiber
can only be firmed properly by using
pointed hardwood sticks to press them
into position.
Odontoglossums.
Continue to give odontoglossums all
possible sunshine. We want the foliage
to assume a deep, bronzy hue, the
stamp of good health and a guarantee
that, when summer heat arrives, plants
with such leaves will withstand the
torrid conditions vastly better than the
deep green-leaved ones which many
may now applaud and admire. Look out
for shell snails and protect the plants
with a band of cotton batting as soon as
the pests appear. If there are any snails
around they are sure to chew up any
unprotected spikes on such odontoglos-
sums as crispum, Pescatorei, Anderson-
ianum and others that are now showing
their flower spikes.
STEVIA NIPPED BY FROST?
Our stevia for this winter's flower-
ing grew strong, heavy stalks and
stems, but the flowers amounted to lit-
tle. We had a rainy fall. Would that
cause poor flowers? S. B. — N. Y.
housing? They are injured by a mere
breath of frost. If kept in a cool
house, abundantly watered and well fed
when potbound, they should have flow-
ered well, always provided they had
not received any chill before housing.
This might not show at all on the fo-
liage. C. W.
A CASE OF OAS POISONING.
I am writing to inquire the cause of
black spots oh tke leaves and stems of
rubber plants, ana am enclosing a leaf
taken from one of the affected plants.'
The plants were purchased last summer,
the wholesaler claiming that they were
superior to theeild variety. The plants
in the houses are unaffected, but I have
had three complaints from buyers, who
said that the leaves and stems turned
black and finally died.
I believe gas is used for heating in
the homes of the buyers. A leaf that
was brought to me for inspection ap-
peared as though it had been oiled. It
had a good green color, but was black
in spots. I would greatly appreciate
your assistance in ascertaining the
cause of the trouble. M. W. B. — 0.
The ficus leaf in question was quite
dry and brown when rfceived, but it
showed some darker spots that should
not have been there had the leaf been
normal at the time it was removed
from the plant. The evidence points
to a case of gas poisoning, but there is
a fallacious idea extant among some
householders that it is beneficial to^ a
rubber plant to wipe off its leaves with
an oily rag. Some even pursue this
idea to the extent of giving a dose of
the oil to the soil, with a view to ex-
pelling the worms from the soil. Any
such treatment is dangerous, but if oil
was not used on the plant then it would
seem that the trouble was caused by
gas poisoning. W. H. T.
TIME TO START CANNAS.
When should canna bulbs be planted
to have them about a foot high by Dec-
oration day? R. H. W. — Ohio.
Start your bulbs in a warm, moist
house six or eight weeks before you
want them. If you start them April 1
they will be of ample size. C. W.
A rainy fall would not be respon-
sible. Are you sure the plants were not
BubjocteJ to a light freezing before
You Know? Lefkoyen!
One of our salesmen in a seed store,
failing to understand a little German
woman's request, called me to his as-
sistance. The little lady gave him a
scornful look and turning sweetly to
me asked:
"Haf you got it in English, vot ve
calls it in Cherman, 'Lefkoyen' "?
We had. It was stocks. M, F.
What's a Universalist?
It was during the holiday rush. We
had sent out for hot chicken sand-
wiches and coffee. Just as we were
about to sit down to our belated feast,
Johnny Murphy was called out into the
store to wait on a lady. After look-
ing at everything and pricing the en-
tire stock, she decided she wouldn't
"buy today," but would wait until
tomorrow, when the fresh flowers would
be in.
We were discussing Universalists
when Johnny came back. Savagely
grabbing a sandwich and his cold cof-
fee, he asked:
"What's a Universalist?"
"Why, they are the people," he was
informed, "who don't believe in any
future punishment. They think that
we get all our hell on earth."
"Well, by George!" exclaimed John-
ny, "the fellow who invented that
religion must have been in the flower
business." M. F.
Who's Ter Beauty?
A young countryman came to town
with his best girl. Passing a flower
store, they stopped to admire the dis-
play of flowers.
' ' Say, Hennery, I just wisht I 'd some
nice roses. Them red ones look good."
"Does yer? Well, let's go in and
get some. Nothings too good fer you."
"Say, Mister, got any nice roses?"
•*Yes, Hoosier Beauty."
"What's that?"
' ' I said Hoosier (who 's yer) Beauty. * '
"Say, Mister, if it's an introduction
yer wants' it won't do no good. We're
engaged. She don't hanker for city
dudes anyhow, but since ye 're so gosh
darned inquisitive I s'pose I may as
well tell ye her name is Mandy Smith.
(Aside) Ye 're right. Mister, she's some
beaut."
"Beg pardon, sir, but I meant to
tell you that we had red roses by the
name of Hoosier Beauty."
"Well, well! I'm from Indiana my-
self, and so's Mandy. Gosh, that's a
good one! Gimme a quarter's worth."

and adjoining residence to the extent of
$2,000, which was partly covered by in-
surance.
Media, Pa. — Fire destroyed a green-
house at the George W. Bosler range on
Orange street recently, damaging spring
stock to the extent of $1,000. Miss
Phoebe Baker sustained a loss of $800
from a blaze started by an overheated
furnace, on the same day.
Dayton, O. — At the recent industrial
exposition in\the Delco building the
Miami Floral Co. and the Heiss Co.
were large exhibitors. Their adjoining
booths had a good showing of poinset-
tias, lilacs, boxwood, ferns, palms, car-
nations and roses. The tfohn Sieben-
thaler Nursery displayed a good line of
rursery stock, featuring imported mag-
nolias in full bloom.
London, England. — Announcement has
been made that the Journal of Horti-
culture has suspended publication ' ' dur-
ing the period of the war." All the
British gardening papers have been hard
hit, but the trade periodicals have got
along fairly well. The Journal of Hor-
ticulture was founded in 1848 and was
a great success until the death of the
original editors put the paper into less
virile hands.
Saginaw, Mich. — The Saginaw-Bay
City Florists' Society will meet at the
store of J. B. Goetz Sons February 7
at 7:30 p. m.
Champaign, HI. — C. F. Swayger, chief
gardener for the Hlinois Central rail-
road, is visiting in New York and New
Jersey this week.
Oarrettsville, O.— The H. J. Alford
Co., which is doing a vegetable and seed
business, will erect two greenhouses in
the spring and grow flowers for retail.
Norfolk, Va.— The Manning Floral
Co. has a now form of Centaurea Cya-
nus to which it has given the name
Norfolk Pink. The flowers are shell
pink and double, the claim being made
that after some years of work it comes
true from seed.
Fort Atkinson, Wis. — A deal recently
was consummated whereby A. L. Merri-
man disposed of his florists' business
to Herbert and Thomas Cloute, who are
now conducting the business under the
name of Cloute Bros. Herbert Cloute
was employed by Mr. Merriman for five
years and his brother, Thomas, was in
the nursery business for the last six
years. Both are young men.
THE BAUSCHEB FIBE.
The Review for January 27 contained
an account of the fire that recently vis-
ited the establishment of John Bausch-
er, Freeport, 111., on a night when the
temperature was 10 degrees below zero.
In this issue a picture is shown, repro-
duced from a photograph made next
day. The vacant space in the fore-
ground formerly was occupied by a two-
story service building that burned up
inconceivably clean. The houses ran
each way from this service building,
sixteen of them in the range. The ends
were burned off. A large part of the
loss, of course, was on frozen stock. A.
.T. Bauscher estimates the loss at $25,-
000. Repairs were begun immediately
and now are well along.

McKiNLEY day made nary ripple in the

the trade made the slightest attempt to
make business capital of the recurrence
of January 29.
The preliminary schedule has been is-
sued for the annual exhibition of the
American Sweet Pea Society, to be held
at Bar Harbor, Me., probably in July.
Anyone wishing a copy of the list should

A schedule also has been printed for the
show to be held in San Francisco in June,
copies of which may be had by addressing

If the Panama-Pacific exposition was in
any measure disappointed with the adver-

as a prize for the best new rose, Hugh
Dickson, Ltd., Belfast, Ireland, winner
of the prize, has no reason to feel other-
wise than fully compensated. Since the
first announcement of the Dickson suc-
cess, which appeared in !The Review
early in December, the winner has secured
much publicity in trade and general pii|)-
lications the world around. Announee-
ment of the name to be given the variety
by the exhibition oflScials has not yet
been made.
HONORABLE MENTION.
Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Review $2, $3, or some-
times $5, instead of the dollar bill that
insures fifty-two visits of the paper.
Among those who have this week en-
rolled themselves for more than one
year in advance are:

Carpenter, E. F., Hot Springs, Va.
Woelfle, H. C, & Co., Spring Arbor, Mich.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.
THE DUTY ON TUXJP BULBS.
The court of last resort has decided
that "tulips" as the word appears in
the Tariff Act of 1913 does not modify
the word "bulbs" in the same clause,
as would be the case if the word were
"tulip," and that the presence of the
"s" makes the rate of duty on tulip
bulbs 50 cents per thousand, not $1
per thousand as the customs officers
have ruled.
Few in the trade have seriously ques-
tioned the intent of Congress, although
many have had hope of success in the
effort to get the present decision and
will profit by their protests.
The full text of the decision legaliz-
ing the lower rate will be found on
page 16 of this issue of The Review.
N. Y. FEDERATION TO MEET.
The New York State Federation of
Horticultural Societies and Floral Clubs
will hold its annual meeting at Ithaca,
N. Y., February 9, according to an an-
nouncement by the department of flori-
culture of Cornell University. Lectures,
exhibits and practical demonstrations
of interest to florists will continue
throughout the week. Addresses on com-
mercial flower growing will be given,
including such subjects as "Water
Lilies for the Home and Market,"
"Garden Roses" and "Problems of
Advertising in the Disposal of Flowers
and Plants." Other lectures to be
given during the week by members of
the Cornell faculty include "Gardens
and Garden Planning," "The Garden
Gladiolus," "The Garden Phlox,"
"The Peony and Its Culture" and
many others of similar character.
LET'S MAKE IT TRADE CUSTOM.
Here is an extract from a letter re-
ceived from a subscriber:
For some time I have been Interested In the
Telegraph Delivery Department In The Review
and have filled a number of orders for out-of-town
florists. As a rule my bills have been settled at
once and I have been well pleased with the
transactions. But there are a few who have been
80 slow in settling that it hardly pays to bother
with them. Can you tell me what Is the trade
custom in this matter, or how long I am expected
reasonably to wait for my money? It seems to me
that prompt settlement would be an important
factor In securing good service on these orders.
The millennium will arrive with the
day that all bills are paid promptly,
but it is certain sure conditions in this
trade are not worse than in most others.
Prompt collection is a problem even
where associations have been formed
for the express purpose of guaranteeing
the payment of accounts between mem-
bers. The F. T. D., at its meeting at
Cleveland last November, considered
this subject at length and adopted a
plan which might well be made a trade
custom as relates to retail orders filled
by one florist for another. As between
members of the F. T. D. the terms are
net cash after thirty days, with a dis-
count of twenty per cent for payment
within that limit.
The Review suggests that all florists,
in billing retail telegraph orders, show
the gross price, with a second line show-
ing "twenty per cent discount if paid
before thirty days from date." If not
paid at the end of thirty days render
statement for the gross amount and
proceed promptly to its collection. If
this becomes trade custom it will work
no hardship whatever on the great ma-
jority wio always have paid promptly,
but it will compel the negligent minor-
ity to pay within thirty days if they
are to make a profit on these orders.
CAN YOU BEAT IT?
In the fiorists' business, especially
the wholesale end of it, sales are ob-
tained at so little cost that it almost
is inconceivable to those accustomed to
selling costs in other lines. As an in-
stance of what plantsmen do regularly:
Please discontinue our Id of cyclamens; The
Review has sold 10,000 plants for us and we are
cleaned out. — Greenville Floral Co., Greenville,
Mich., January 31, 1916.
These Were 3-inch plants offered at
8 cents and 4-inch plants offered at 10
cents and 12 cents each. Suppose the
average price obtained for the lot was
10 cents, the sales made the quite im-
pressive total of $1,000. But what of
the costf This was a classified ad and
The Review's records show the charges
for it were exactly $4.20. Sales aggre-
gating $1,000 at a cost of $4,201 Can
you beat it?
When you hear a man complaining of
the cost of advertising you can be pret-
ty sure he spends a good bit of money
elsewhere than in The Review.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
Chicago market conditions are, for
this season of the year, altogether
anomalous. The anticipated easing of
supply has been indefinitely postponed
by an almost continuous succession of
cloudy days. To be sure, the suppb of
seasonable stock is normal, but wit'i at
best a short supply of standard itoms,
the market is left in a far from satis-
factory condition. Some of the whole-
salers are meeting the situation by coun-
seling their customers to turn the at-
tention of their patrons from the scarce
articles by suggesting the varied uses
of the more plentiful bulbous flowers.
This has helped to a great extent to
relieve the embarrassment caused by
the scarcity of roses.
Beauties are so far off crop that they
have ceased to occupy a position of im-
portance. The situation as regards other
roses is even more strained than it was
a week ago. ^Por while short and
medium grade roses have been scarce
for several weeks, the longer grades
have been available. This week it is
difficult to secure long-stemmed roses
of good quality and the short ones con-
tinue as scarce as before.
Carnations, as a result of the warm
days last week, arrived in such quanti-
ties during the latter half of the week
as to cause something in the nature of

a slump. The quick return of cold
weather, however, quite effectually
checked this tendency, and, though
there are enough carnations now avail-
able to fill all orders, the market is
fairly stiff.
Valley is decidedly scarce. So, too,
are good Easter and calla lilies, al-
though the supply of the latter is larger
than it was a week ago. There is a
large supply of good sweet peas on the
market in spite of the fact that growers
of late have been troubled with buds
dropping. Of bulbous stock there is a
large supply and a varied assortment.
An infinite variety of tulips are offered
and Paper Whites, Romans, jonquils
and daffodils may be had in quantity.
Freesia, too, is becoming much more
plentiful, and that received is of good
quality. Violets are sufficient to meet
the demand. Pansies are not moving
as they should. As for stevia, it is
quite off the market.
Sprengeri and plumosus are well on
the short side of the market and this
causes a correspondingly large demand
for other greens.
A. L. Randall Co. Doubles Space.
The entire third floor of the Le Moyne
building has been acquired by the A. L.
Bandall Co. under a long term lease.
The deal was consummated January
29, and possession was taken at once.
Frank Johnson says this is one of the
evidences of the company's faith in the
coming year and its possibilities. The
newly acquired space is approximately
20,000 square feet. It will be devoted
almost exclusively to the manufacture
of baskets and florists' accessories.
Fleischman's New Manager.
"Surely a live town; something do-
ing every minute." The speaker was
William Graham, who recently came
from Philadelphia to take the manage-
ment of the store of the Fleischman
Floral Co., on Jackson boulevard.
"There is as much business here in
every hour as most Philadelphia stores
do all day, but do you know," contin-
ued Mr. Graham, "Chicago flower buy-
ers don't seem to be as particular as
they are in the east." Mr. Graham
comes to Chicago with a reputation for
having turned out work second to none
in the east and has been given complete
charge of the Fleischman store, which
has been without a manager since
George Wienhoeber resigned, a year
ago, to go into business for himself.
Many leaders in the trade here have
called on Mr. Graham, to bid him wel-
come to our city.
Dr. Maurice Rubel, president of the
Fleischman Floral Co. since the death
of his brother, B. F. Rubel, has gone to
Florida for a vacation.
A recent addition to the already com-
plete facilities of the Fleischman store
is a paint room for the decoration of
baskets bought in an unfinished condi-
tion, thereby securing exclusive color-
ings.
For St. Valentine's day red heart
baskets containing candy as well as
flowers will be featured.
A Chance to Win.
The handsomest prize ever offered at
a flower show in Chicago was the solid
silver punch bowl donated to the Flo-
rists' Club last fall by the Greenhouse
Manufacturers' Association. It was
not awarded and still is on hand. The
trustees of the club have decided to
raffle the trophy, chances $1 each. They
announce that the list has been started
by the following: A. Henderson, George
Asmus, H. N. Bruns, W. J. Keimel and
C. L. Washburn, twenty-five chances
each; Paul R. Klingsporn, ten chances.
Those who wish to test their luck while
helping the club will send remittance
for chances to Treasurer Klingsporn,
182 North Wabash avenue.
The club meets at the Bismarck
Thursday, February 10, when a large
attendance is expected to view the dis-

Tenner & Tonner.
It is interesting news that Miss L. A.
Tonner, for many years active in the
trade but for some time engaged in
the pecan orchard business, is coming
back into the market. In partnership
with her sister, Miss O. A. Tonner,
Room 205, one of the best in the Atlas
block, has been leased and the firm of
Tonner & Tonner will do a general cut
flower commission business and also
handle florists' supplies. They will be
ready for business in a few days.
The change will give A. T. Pyfer &
Co. the opportunity to gain needed
space, that heretofore occupied by 0. A.
Tonner.
January Weather.
General opinion would place January
as an unusually unfavorable month for
the growers, but the official records are
otherwise. The weather office reports
the mean temperature as slightly more
than 5 degrees above normal, with rain-
fall more than double the normal, but
the percentage of sun almost exactly
the average. The records show that
Chicago gets in January an average of
only forty-two per cent of the possible
hours of sunshine; this year it was
forty-one per cent.
, Various Notes.
Finding that he has not enough space
to accommodate the increasing stock of
a rapidly growing business, George M.
Weiland, of Evanston, has purchased
the nineteen acres to the north of and
adjoining the property of F. Stielow,
Niles Center, 111. He will begin work
at once on the erection of a large green-
house and will add to this as rapidly as
possible. This newly acquired space, he
says, will be devoted exclusively to the
growing of roses for the Chicago Flow-
er Growers' Association.
Thp Shawyer rose, so long the target
of adverse criticism, is not without its
stanch adherents. C. L. Washburp

yer, however, there are several things

their experience that when planted in
beds the mildew is soon outgrown. The
main thing to remember, he avers, is to
plant Shawyer in a house by itself,
where temperature and air conditions
can be regulated to suit the variety. If
grown in this way it is easy to do, and
produces as many flowers per plant as
any pink variety known. One great
advantage attaching to Shawyer is that
it throws few short stems and requires
no pinching.
John Poehlmann has so far recovered
from his illness that he was able to
leave the German hospital and return
to his home, January 30. He is grad-
ually gathering strength. But no sooner
is John Poehlmann on the road to re-
covery than August Poehlmann, secre-
tary and treasurer of the company, and
Adolph Poehlmann, its vicef^president,
are forced to their beds by an attack
of grip. As though these were not
enough, William Spandikow, foreman in
plant B, is suffering with blood poison-
ing in the right hand.
According to Emil Eeichling, superin-
tendent of the Peter Eeinberg green-
houses, an entire house of that range
will be devoted to the new rose, Champ
Weiland, next season. Mr. Eeichling is
quite enthusiastic over this new variety.
He says its color is wonderful, the thing
he has been looking for these many
years. Speaking of cuttings, Mr. Reich-
ling says he has 500,000 carnation cut-
tings in the sand. Of rose cuttings, he
has over 200,000 in the sand.
In accordance with plana reported

When speaking of charmed lives,
Oscar Wiegand, 2011 North Halsted
street, and John Schmid, 911 Montana
street, are not to be forgotten. While
gliding along a north side boulevard
one day last week in Mr. Schmid 's
automobile, they saw an undertaker's
car bearing down on them without re-
gard for consequences. Mr. Schmid
made a sharp turn, his automobile up-
set and slid some distance. With the
exception of a bruised shoulder, Mr.
Schmid is all right and but for a few
stiflf muscles, Mr. Wiegand. is as fit
as ever.
In the opinion of AUie Zech, of Zech
& Mann, one of the most pleasant and
profitable features of the St. Louis visit
was the trip through the Missouri Bo-
tanical Garden. He said it was not pos-
sible to spend nearly as much time in
the different houses as one would like.
The desert house in particular claimed
the attention of Chicago florists.
After undergoing an operation for
peritonitis last week in the north side
German hospital, Mrs. T. M. Waters is
convalescing as rapidly as could be
expected.
The duration of the present stretch
of short supply breaks all records, ac-
cording to A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C.
Amling Co., who is one of the veterans.
He says the arrival of bulbous stock
in quantity does not seem to have cur-
tailed the out-of-town demand as it
usually does.

Mrs. W. E. Horton, of Bassett &
Washburn, has the sympathy of the
trade in her sudden bereavement. Jan-
uary 29 she received a wire to the ef-
fect that her husband, who was in
Carrizozo, New Mexico, looking after
mining interests, had been stricken
with pneumonia. Before she could
make ready to go to him, she received
a second wire announcing his death.
The body was shipped to Evanston,
where the funeral was held.
Quite recovered from a serious illness
of several weeks' duration, Miss
Agatha Greeley will take up her work,
February 7, in the office of the John
Kruchten Co. It is needless to say that
John Kruchten and C. L. Sherer are re-
joicing in the prospect of her return, as,
with the duties of her department add-
ed to those of their own, they have
more than had their hands full.

THE GREATEST QUALITY WE'VE EVER SHOWN!
THE GREATEST QUANTITY WE'VE EVER NADE!
THE GREATEST VALUE WE'VE EVER GIVEN!
The tremendous growth of our basket business is due to just two things — the Quality
and the Price.
When you buy your baskets from the Neidinger Co. you can feel satisfied that you
have bought the best and paid the least.
If you have never bought any baskets from the Neidinger Co., let us convince you on
our small cut flower baskets for St. Valentine's Day.
They range in price from $1.50 per dozen to $6.00 per dozen.

The Market.
Graduations, weddings and funerals
kept the trade exceptionally busy last
week with decorations. Counter trade
also was active. The shortage of help
owing to illness has been one of the big
problems we have had to face. The
weather has been exceptionally mild
for January, and has helped stock some.
Flowers have been a little more plen-
tiful, but the consignments are not any
heavier than the trade demands. There
was a heavy demand for roses during
the week, especially in the red and pink
varieties. White and yellow have sold
well. Orchid sweet peas in pink and
white are arriving in fine condition and
they sell rapidly. Cattleyas and cypri-
pediums are fairly plentiful and sell
nicely. Gardenias are not at all plen-
tiful. Calla lilies are good but not too
plentiful, for funeral work has taken
most of them. Valley, for which there
is no special demand, is not abundant.
Yellow and white daisies sold well dur-
ing the week. Mignonette and baby
primula are good sellers. Jonquils are
plentiful and sell quickly. Paper Whites
are arriving in larger consignments and
are of good quality. Carnations are
coming in heavily, which at this time
is a boon and a blessing. Freesias and

An elaborate dinner was served at
Powers' hotel January 27 to the stock-
holders of James Vick's Sons. Prob-
ably the main object of this dinner was
to further discuss the advisability of
increasing the concern's productions
and adding to its facilities. It was
made known that contracts were far
ahead of those of any previous year.
One of the members said they have con-
tracts aggregating 1,000 pounds of phlox
seed; 1,000 pounds of mignonette seed;
1,500 pounds of candytuft seed and
3,000 pounds of aster seed. It was de-
cided to purchase an additional 100
acres of land to meet the growing de-
mand. The effect of the European war
has been tremendous in the seed busi-
ness. Mr. Vick said, "It gave us a
foothold — one that will be permanent."

Refrigerators
The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration
The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.
For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.
Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

McCray Florists
Refrigerators
The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect retrigeration
The various compartments in a McCR.AY are of different
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.
For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.
Invest in a McCR.\Y. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it move highly than its mere intrinsic dollar and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
A week of unseasonably warm weath-
er has upset predictions of a lively mid-
winter market. There is just a little
less business than a week ago, with a
great, great many more flowers in the
city, with the result of lower prices
and, what is more serious, much unsold
stock to be carried over to the next
day. This carried-over stock means
greater loss in value than the mere
lowering of prices, because when car-
ried over from day to day it depreciates
to almost nothing. Of course, the car-
ried-over stock is rarely the best stock,
but it makes quite a hole in the re-
turns, which is most unwelcome at this
season of the year. There are indica-
tions of better things next week, partly
because there will be more entertaining
and partly because the weather proph-
et's predictions of colder cannot al-
ways continue wrong.
Carnations and daffodils are the main-
stays of the market. They are good,
plentiful and cheap. The other flowers
require little special comment except
that, barring Beauties and Easter lilies,
there are more of them. Acacia pubes-
cens has made its appearance and a few
German stocks have come. The general
quality of the flowers in the market
February 1 was good.
The Club's Carnation Night.
President George Burton called to
order a remarkable meeting on the occa-
sion of the club's carnation night, Feb-
ruary 1. The size, character and enthu-
siasm of the audience was unusual. W.
F. Therkildson asked all the members
to distribute National Flower Show
window cards and use show stamps,
both of which will be sent on applica-
tion to him, at 475 North Fifth street.
William Kleinheinz said that many out-
of-town exhibits have been promised
for the show next month and asked

with information about insect pests and
other matters. He described the work

serious talk of the present. Then came

Zieger & Son.
A leader in the world of flowers, one
of those men whom we all admire and
regard with deference, signified his in-
tention of visiting the northern suburbs
of Philadelphia the other day. When
he arrived he pulled out a notebook,
carefully consulted it, and announced
that he wanted to see Zieger & Son. So
t? that spot he was straightway piloted,
ihere Mr. Zieger was found hard at
'"'ork with his assistants. His greeting
"^as characteristic of the modesty and
courtesy of the man. "I have nothing
to show you," he said, "but you are
welcome." It generally happens that
when a man has done something clever
horticulturally the fame of it takes
just long enough to be noised abroad
to make a visit too late; so it was in
this case — that wonderful, double pink
and white bouvardia that so stirred the
city was over, except for belated side
shoots. The lupines, equally famous
for their colors, had not yet arrived.
So Mr. Zieger naturally felt disappoint-
ed that his best was not forthcoming,
entirely missing the fact that he him-
self is most interesting to the visitors.
Mr. Zieger is cultivated, enthusiastic
and a thorough florist who has mastered
all branches of the profession. The son
of a florist, he has had abundant oppor-
tunity to study plants and their habits;
he knows many varieties that are little
known here, and knows how to grow
them. For example, he has Eucharis
Amazonica, the so-called Amazon lily,
which, while 'familiar in public and in
a few private collections, is rarely seen
commercially. Then there are ixias,
stocks and wallflowers, while many of
the choice kinds of more frequently
grown varieties add interest. In roses
Mr. Zieger favors Mrs. Aaron Ward,
Thora and September Morn. In bulbs
his varieties show careful selection, al-
ways with an aim for the best.
Various Notes.
Walter Davis narrowly escaped seri-
ous injury when an unskilled Ford
driver jammed him against a wall on
Ranstead street. Fortunately, a few
stitches and a headache were the most
serious after effects.
August Lutz, well known west Phila-
delphia florist, is ill at his home.
News has been received in this city
of the death last week of Carlman Rib-
sam, of Trenton, N. J., head of the
firm of C. Ribsam & Son.
William H. Ferguson, a well known
and highly respected florist of this city,
died January 28, at the age of 69. Mr.
Ferguson was head of the firm of W. H.
Ferguson & Son, doing business at
Twelfth and Spring Garden streets. The
funeral took place from his late resi-
dence, 1944 North Sixth street, Tues-
day, February 1. Interment was at
Northwood cemetery.
Samuel E. Aiken, who conducted a
retail flower store at 1722 Columbia
avenue, has failed. The liabilities are
about $4,000. It is believed an agree-
ment will be reached whereby Joseph
Josephs, whose shop is at Nineteenth
and Columbia avenue, will purchase the
good will and the fixtures for $500. Mr.
Aiken has many friends in the business
who will learn of his misfortune with
deep regret.

carnations could be had at $20 per

The Market.
Last week was phenomenal; 68 de-
grees in the shade was recorded Janu-
ary 27, but January 30, fortunately,
seasonable weather returned.
Notwithstanding McKinley day and
the dozens of graduation exercises, in
which quantities of flowers were used,
there was seemingly a great abundance
of stock, of carnations especially, and
prices were shaded considerably as the
week ended. Eoses of all kinds have
held up well, but they commenced their
usual recession at the close of last week,
as shipments are increasing rapidly.
American Beauties have been scarce and
prices high. At least, 75 cents and over
seems high to those who have to demand
$18 to $24 per dozen at retail. A few
Hadley sold at 50 cents each last week,
and several of the novelties held the
level of the month. The lower grades
of all roses were rapidly absorbed.

COLUMBUS, O.
The Market.
Trade has been unusually heavy,
with plenty of stock coming in. Fu-
neral work has been the main outlet
for the stock. Roses have been scarce,
but their quality is good. Beauties also
have been scarce, but the demand for
them has not been heavy. Carnations
increased in quantity last week and
heavy cuts now are coming in. It is
really the first time since the holidays
that there has been any surplus on the
market.
Roman hyacinths are quite plentiful
and the demand for them has been
heavy. Narcissi, both white and yel-
low, have found a good market and
quantities of them are moved. Jon-
quils have been in good demand, but
there have been few on the market so
far. Sweet peas are more plentiful and
are moving nicely. There has been a
good lot of valley and violets used in
funeral work. Potted plants are mov-
ing nicely and some extra good stock
is to be seen.
Various Notes. ^
The Livingston Seed Co. reports
heavy cuts of carnations and a large
quantity of funeral work.
Sherman Stephens & Son report the
heaviest business in funeral work in a
long time.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut-
ting heavily of carnations, but its roses
are somewhat shy at present.
The Munk Floral Co. has quite a
heavy run of sweet peas at present and
reports heavy business. J. M.

ROOTma AN ABAUOARIA TOP.
I have an Araucaria excelsa, six feet
high, which has lost its lower branches.
Could I nick this under the second tier
from the top, moss it and root it like
a rubber plant f If so, when would be
the best time to do itf P. B. — Ala.
An araucaria top may sometimes be
rooted on the plant by mossing up in
the same manner as one would do with
Fieus elastica, but the araucaria usually
takes considerably longer to root than
the ficus. The best time to do this
would be about the beginning of April.
The moss must not be allowed to dry
out during the possible three months
that may elapse before the araucaria
cutting will be rooted. W. H. T.
SNAPDRAGON AND SALPIGLOSSIS.
I should like to know the proper time
to plant seed of snapdragons and sal-
piglossis in order to have good, stocky
plants to sell May 1. F. E. S.— K. I.
Sow the snapdragon seed about the
middle of February. This will enable
you to get nice plants in 3-inch or 3%-
inch pots at the time mentioned. Sal-
piglossis sown early in March will be
sufSciently early. It will require more
heat, however, than the snapdragon.

OOCOS WEDDEIiLIANA AND FERNS.
Please give me directions on the cul-
ture of Cocos Weddelliana from seed.
Also, when should I plant spores of
dish ferns to have them in 2^ -inch pots
by Christmas, 1916 f Would the ferns
require special caret
E. H. M.— N. Y.
The approved method of starting
seeds of Cocos Weddelliana is to sow
them singly in 2-inch pots, using a light
and open soil for the purpose. Some
growers prefer pure peat for the seed
pots. The seeds should be covered with
the soil to a depth of one-half to three-
quarters of an inch, and the pots placed
in a temperature of about 70 degrees,
and kept moist. When the seedlings
have two to three leaves they should be
shaken out of the soil and potted into
2^ -inch pots, using a heavier soil for
this potting. The plants should be
kept moist at all times and given mod-
erate shade, with a night temperature
of 60 to 65 degrees.
Fern spores for next winter's crop
should be sown at once. They require
considerable care in order to produce
good results. They should be sown
thinly on the surface of the soil; then
covered with glass over the pots until
the spores have germinated. In due
season the seedlings should be trans-
planted to shallow trays and, finally,
when they are large enough to handle,
the seedlings should be potted into 2^4
or 2% -inch pots. Sometimes they are
kept indoors all the season, though some
of the larger growers place them in
shaded coldframes during the summer
and thus find space for other stock in
the greenhouses during that season.
There is much work attached to this
operation, and if one only needs a mod-
erate quantity of dish ferns it is more
convenient to buy the seedlings in the
trays and simply pot them.

WE HAVE FOR SALE
On the 8th day of February, 1916, a splendid
greenhouse with several acres of land in the
town of Lapel, Ind., eight miles west of Ander-
son, and in one of the finest farming communi-
ties in the world. Lapel is a little town of
probably 1500 people. The sale will be held on
the place on the 8th of February, and the real
estate will be sold either as a whole or in par-
cels, there being about 35 town lots in addition
to the greenhouse. The terms of the sale are
one-third cash, one-third in nine months, and
one-third in eighteen months. Mr. Barnes, who
founded this business, had worked up a magni-
ficent business, but unfortunately he died and
there is no one in his family that can take his
place. It is a splendid opening for someone
desiring to engage in the business.
For particulars address

PROVIDENCE, R. I.
The Market
A decided modification in the temper-
ature last week resulted in a noticeable
improvement in market conditions, the
supply of almost everything increasing.
Boses and carnations now are arriving
in larger quantities and better quality.
There has been a slight drop in prices,
although the scale has been well main-
tained by the unusually large quantity
of funeral work. Narcissi, daffodils
and tulips have made their appearance
in good quantities, which also eases the
market.
While Carnation day, held in memory
of President McKinley, was not gener-
ally observed in this city, there was
enough demand to cause much activity
in carnations, and before noon buyers
were scurrying to obtain their supply.
There was a stiffening of prices on car-
nations for that day.
The Annual dub Banquet.
The annual banquet of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island
was held in the clubrooms at 98 West-
minster street, January 24, with one of
the largest gatherings that have attend-
ed a similar affair in several years. The
meeting was called to order at about
8 o 'clock, following an excellent dinner,
by the retiring president, Cornelius
Hartstra. After a brief address of wel-
come President Hartstra called the new-
ly elected president, James Dillon, to
the chair, after which the other officers
were installed. They are: Vice-presi-
dent, William Steele; secretary, William
E. Chappell; treasurer, James Hockey.
All are Providence men excepting Mr.
Hockey, who comes from Pawtucket.
After the business session music and
addresses were in order. One of the
pleasing features of the evening was
the presentation to the retiring presi-
dent of a silk umbrella, as a mark of
appreciation of his work during the
year. The committee in charge of ar-
rangements consisted of Robert John-
son, Alexander Macrae and Eugene Ap-
pleton.

We are not trying to see how cheap
a hanging basket we can make —
but how gfood. Naturally there
must be some difference in prices
as between the best basket one
can make and the cheapest— but
there's a whole lot more difference
in the quality than there is in the
price. If you seek a good article,

The state florists' convention week
was a busy one for the florists here,
for visitors were invited to remain
over a day and inspect the greenhouses.
Then the nurserymen of the state were
here on the following day and many
of the florists were interested in that
meeting. Weather conditions were fa-
vorable all the week, there being no
frost at any time and but little rain.
There was one good shower, but it came
after the visitors had all gone home.
Flowers still are decidedly on the
short side, roses having largely been
cut back or else put under the drying
process to get them ready to cut back.
Carnations are producing heavily, but
not so heavily as they were six weeks
ago. The quality is uniformly good,
however. It was frequently remarked
by northern growers who were here
last week that carnations were as good
here as they could be anywhere. Only
a few years ago no one thought car-
nations could be grown here. The dis-
cussions of the week developed the fact
that some of our best varieties here are
not the best in the north, or vice versa.
The same is true of roses. I*ropaga-
tion is getting under way, but most of
the rose stock for grafting has not
been received yet. Shipments from
abroad seem to be slow in arriving this
season. Carnations are in the sand by
the thousands, however.
There has been a persistent and heavy
demand for flowers all the week, both
retail and wholesale. As a result there
have been few flowers that were not
cleaned out every day. I have never

Violets now are coming in freely; peas
are getting into the game and are of as
good quality as I have ever seen, too.
Valley is snort and there is little or
no bulbous stock of any kind, with the
exception of Paper Whites.
Outdoor stock is coming forward
faster than is desired. Snowdrops,
scillas and winter aconite are in their
glory and early daffodils are here.
Oonventlon Aftermath.
The state florists' meetings brought
out several discussions of general in-
terest. Under greenhouse construction,
Mr. Mclntyre spoke of the poor econ-
omy of building greenhouses that would
not last a lifetime. Later, when his
place was visited, all agreed that he
had one of the best constructed green-
house ranges in the south.
The question of building cement
benches was raised, the Mclntyres
recommending a bench built of a mix-
ture of cement to one-fourth of sand,
with half-inch holes every four or six
inches each way for drainage.
E. G. Hill said that his ideal of a
bench for carnations and roses, espe-
cially for roses, was a cement retain-
ing wall about two feet or more high
filled to within eight or ten inches with
cinders, then covered with tiles on
which the bedding soil was placed. He
said that the main roots of the roseq

will find their way through the tile
into the cinders and even down into
the clay below, where they will draw
elements that make for quality.
J. A. Peterson then told of a cement
bench that he uses, which is built en>
tirely of hard coal cinders and cement,
coke screenings and cement, or even
Qoft coal cinders and cement. He re-
enforces the benches with barbed wire,
makes the cement two inches thick and
uses cement pillars for support. He
says that these benches are cheaper
than cypress and last indefinitely, and
that water will drain through them as
it does through porous brick. Several
testified to having seen this demon-
strated at his place.
Mr. Mclntyre recommended hot water
for heating plants of less than 40,000
feet. For ranges between this and 100,-
000 feet, steam, he said, with gravity
returns, is better. Larger ranges than
100,000 feet should be heated with
steam,, aided by a vacuum pump.
Advertising was thoroughly discussed
at the state fiorists' meeting, it being
'generally agreed that prices should be
held low enough so that the middle
classes could afford to buy flowers. It
was agreed that newspaper advertising
is more effective when the florists co-
operate in one large ad that includes
all the individual ads.

by^ the visiting florists were some

houses of Geny Bros. This variety gives
promise of being a real winner for a
red forcing rose.
At Mclntyre Bros.' there is a white
carnation of large size and excellent
appearance, which is the most fragrant
of all carnations I have ever seen. It
is a sport. They have only four plants,
but will propagate it as fast as they
can. They had a good showing of or-
chids and peas at the old place.
Haury & Sons have much space in
their houses devoted to lettuce. They
were setting a house when I visited
the place.
At the Joy Floral Co. establishment
all remarked on the large number of
carnations and roses grown; also the
large number of cyclamen plants. The
carnations are blooming exceptionally
well for this season of the year. Harold
Joy is the rose grower at present.

The Market.
Dark, rainy weather during the last
half of last week did not help the mar-
ket and the retail business. The condi-
tion of the market the early part of the
week was greatly improved and all cut
stock was more plentiful and prices
lower. Transient downtown trade was
killed the three days of continuous
rain. In the west end the custom trade
was excellent, --Adth social work of all
kinds. The one noticeable feature of
the market is the improved supply of
carnations. These have been cleaning

up well recently, owing to the scarcity,
but now the price is lower and some
are left for the late buyers. Boses, too,
are more plentiful than any time since
the first of the year. Some excellent
stock of Killarney and Beauty now is
to be had, with Bussell, Ophelia and
Ward not in oversupply. The feature
of the market so far this season is the
way bulb stock is selling. Paper Whites,
usually a glut, clean up daily; also, Ro-
mans, lilies and valley.
Sweet peas are scarce and will con-
tinue to be, for with most of our local
growers the buds have fallen off, caused,
they say, by the damp season. Violets
are coming in nicely and will be plen-
tiful from now on, though the price is
a trifle high at present. Tulips and
jonquils are arriving daily. All greens
are to be had in any quantity at usual
prices.
Varlotis Notes.
Dr. George T. Moore, head of the
Missouri Botanical Garden, was in Bos-
ton last week, where he delivered an
illustrated lecture in Horticultural hall
on the Missouri Botanical Garden. Dr.
Moore was sorry to miss the carnation
exhibition.

the surprise. All are requested to come.
Alexander Waldbart has the sym-
pathy of the trade in the death of his

funeral took place January 29, at her
late home on Etzel avenue. Besides
her husband, she leaves four sons and
two daughters.

^ J. F. Ammann, chairman of the execu-
tive committee in charge of the recent
carnation meeting, says this committee
will hold a meeting this week to close
up the affairs of the committee and sub-
mit the final report at next week's club
meeting.
George Madsen, of Alton, 111.; M. F.
Widmer, of Highland, 111., and J. F.
Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., mem-
bers of the Florists* Club, were greatly
pleased to carry off some of the first
and second prizes at last week's carna-
tion exhibition. The Enchantress car-
nations shown by them were of high
quality; also Alice, Philadelphia and
Gloriosa, exhibited by the Ammann Co.,
were a pleasing sight. All three were
congratulated by the members after
the awards were made known.
J. J. Beneke and his friend, Hans
Wagner — not the famous Hans Wagner
of Pittsburgh — rolled in the scratch
bowling tournament January 30 as a
2-man team, and rolled into ninth place

Beneke— 173, 236, 188; Wagner— 145,

The week ending January 28 was one
of abnormal heat for January. With
maximum temperatures of 60 degrees
or over for a full week, clear skies and
an entire absence of frost, flowers came
along with a grand rush, and the great-
ly increased supplies have caused a de-
cided slump all along the line. Boses
are not in so abundant a supply as any
of the other flowers, but prices on them
have fallen sharply. Short-stemmed
stock, which made $6 January 22, made
$2 a week later. Beauties are in some-
what light supply, except short-stemmed
stock, which is not wanted. Bussell,
Killarney Queen, Ophelia, Double
White Killarney and Sunburst are sell-
ing well. Of red varieties, like
D'Arenberg, Eichmond and Hadley, the
supply is only moderate.
Carnations are in heavy supply and
prices have fallen as low as $1 per
hundred. Stock must be quite select
to bring $3, Violets are abundant.
The hot weather sent in a tremendous
crop, which was moved with difficulty.
Sweet peas now are quite a factor and
large quantities of both grandifloras

BU years' experience in the flnrist business guarantees
effiHptirv tn take rare of all orders. 20 per cent allowed
and Spencers are arriving. The
Spencers realize about double the
price of the old varieties. Mignon-
ette and snapdragon are each com-
ing in more freely. Only the pink
snapdragon sells well. Yellow mar-
guerites are arriving in larger num-
bers, but they sell out clean. Pansies
are of good quality and there is a nice
supply of the popular English prim-
roses. Calendulas are overdone. Small
batches of wallflowers, lilacs, forget-
me-nots and other flowers are seen.
Callas are overabundant and hard to
move; lilies also are lower in price.
Of Dutch bulbous flowers the supply
is much heavier, a large number of
varieties now being seen. Prices have
declined about one hundred per cent,
as compared with those of the week
previous. Paper Whites continue to
sell well. They have been a good sell-
ing article the entire season. Freesias
are druggy. Lily of the valley goes
more slowly. The warmer weather has
increased the gardenia supply, but
prices still are good. Cattleya Trianw
IS somewhat lower. Of other orchids
there is a good supply of cypripediums,
and smaller lots of Vanda cserulea,
liselia anceps and phalaenopsis.
Various Notes.
Paine Bros., of Randolph, are among
our largest and most successful bulb
specialists. Of tulips they are now
getting White Hawk, Flamingo, Cour-
onne d'Or, King of the Yellows, Gold-
flnch and La Beine. In narcissi they
have Golden Spur, Silver Spur, rugu-
losus and poeticus ornatus. They also
have freesias and callas in quantity.

House, February 9, were sold by Janu-
ary 27 and early application for the
remaining tickets is necessary to avoid
disappointment. For the club's annual
carnation night, February 15, there will
be a notable display of novelties and
standard varieties, and talks on various
phases of carnation culture by several
specialists.
Norris F. Comley, of Burlington,
grows vegetables and flowers largely in
his big range of houses. He is ship-
ping quantities of fine Spencer sweet
peas and single violets, while Pink De-
light Matchless, Beacon, White Won-
der and other carnations are doing ex-
ceptionally well.
Boston's representation at the St.
Louis carnation convention was a com-
paratively small one. It was a long
journey for the flowers, but the awards
showed that New England carnations
are hard to beat. If such growers as
A. A. Pembroke, Peter Fisher, W. E.
Nicholson, J. A. Nelson, C. B. Johnson
and others had also entered the fray,
it is probable that the winnings for the
rest of the country would have been
comparatively small.
M. B. Dallachie, of Newton Center, is
one of our most successful growers of
English primroses and he sends in a
good daily shipment of these popular
flowers.
At Galvin's Park street store some
handsome baskets of orchids recently
have attracted attention. Not only cat-
tleyas, but also phalsenopsis, cypripe-
diums, Lselia anceps, vandas and other
varieties were represented. Business
here since Christmas has been good.

Patrick Welch's shippers are send-
ing him fine lots of roses^ carnations,
orchids and other flowers and the in-
creased supplies and lower prices have
stimulated business.
Extra fine freesias are coming in
from many growers, but those from
F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, and
J. Leach & Son, of North Easton, are
exceptional in quality.
Pink Sensation carnations from 8. J.
Goddard are of splendid quality. Flow-
ers of this new variety have been real-
izing $8 per hundred, when ordinary
varieties have been making but one-
fourth this amount. Other fine varie-
ties from Mr. Goddard are Good Cheer,
Alice, Beacon, Matchless, Pink Delight,
Benora and "White Wonder.
Yellow marguerites are always well
grown and popular in the Boston mar-
ket. Fine flowers are coming in from
J. K. Chandler & Sons, of Tewksbury;
James Wheeler, of Natick, and J. W.
Simpson, Woburn, to mention only a
few specialists of this flower.
Penn now has his business concen-
trated at 124 Tremont street and is
busy. For Valentine's day he is, as
usual, planning well ahead. His sales
of violets for this occasion are always
enormous. It seems strange to pass
the old, deserted store at 43 Bromfield
street, which for so many years has
been such a hive of industry, but prog-
ress is the order of the day and Penn's
progressiveness must be served.
Charles Evans, of Watertown, now is
cutting callas heavily and he has a fine
crop of Asparagus plumosus and
Sprengeri.
The Boston Cut Flower Co. reports
a much increased call for flowers since
the decline in wholesale prices per-
mitted of more popular prices. This

It is reported that it has been decided
to liquidate the Luther Burbank Co., San
Francisco, rather than attempt to refi-
nance it.
James Vicks Sons, Eochester, is ex-
periencing a largely increased demand as
the result of the uncertainty of European
seed supplies, and at a dinner for stock-
holders January 27 it was decided to
considerably enlarge the scope of the
corporation 's operations.
News of the water damage to seed
crops in California is awaited with in-
terest. The floods generally have been
outside the big seed-growing valleys, but
there has been an excess of moisture al-
most everywhere in the southern half of
the state.
A WIRE from the Haven Seed Co.,
Santa Ana, Cal., February 1, said:
"High waters have marooned most of
Orange county for several days, but we
probably will be receiving and forward-
ing mail before this appears in print.
Flood waters have done us no damage.
The rains have put our fields in excellent
condition for our tomato seed crop."
Advices have been received by the
Office of the Foreign Trade Advisers, of
the State Department, Washington, to the
effect that permits have just been issued
by the British Foreign Office in London,
guaranteeing the unmolested shipment
from Eotterdam of 4,724 pounds of vege-
table seeds, valued at $590, from Ger-
many, consigned to Henry F. Michell Co.,
Philadelphia.
Bert E. Brotherton, formerly a part-
ner and general manager of the Penin-
sular Seed Co., of Port Huron, Mich.,
January 1 severed his connection with
that concern and will hereafter look
after the contracting, inspection, har-
vesting and preparation of crops of
peas, beans, corn, etc., for the D. Lan-
dreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa. Mr. Broth-
erton has had many years' experience
contracting for crops, principally in
Michigan, Wisconsin and adjoining
states and in the valleys of the Rocky
mountains. He will continue his resi-
dence at Port Huron, Mich.
THE TULIP DUTY DECISION.
The Court of Customs Appeals has re-
versed the Board of General Appraisers
in the test case brought by certain im-
porting interests in the effort to secure
the admission of tulip bulbs at 50 cents
per thousand duty, instead of $1 per
thousand. Most readers of this paper
are familiar with the case. The full
text of the decision cutting the rate in
half will be found on page 16 of this
issue. The decision will stand until
Congress amends the tariff law.
GOVERNMENT SEED AWARDS.
Awards have just been made by the
Agricultural Department of contracts
for seeds for the 1916-1917 congres-
sional free distribution. Forty Amer-
ican firms will supply surplus stock
and contract seeds, while two foreign
firms will furnish surplus stock, no
YOU will be satisfied with the products of

WOMAN VERSUS MYSTERY
(Continued)
No, you are all wrong if you think
wearing skirts makes business a cinch.
Oh, no, business is business on strictly
business principles, that is, if you want
to compete with the best competitors,
and they are none too good at times;
knocks and bumps all develop when you
touch the other fellow's dollar; and I
can tell a few confidential stories on the
combination of business-girl, sweetheart
and competitor in one little person. It
takes some temperament, I know it
from experience, but it's great to be
in the swim, anyway; sometimes I
think my nerve and confidence are
made of cork, they can't sink; but I
sure have had some battles.
May the Lord love the men! Most of
the live ones like women, but some of
them wouldn't trust their own mother,
but bless their good hearts, most of
them trust me as much as they do the
other Bulb Peddlers. I know this, I
can only fool them once and then be
ancient history if I fail to please; a
man is not so forgiving at times; I must
deliver the goods, if I want a good
come-back. What can I do for you,
please f

LILY BULBS
The quality of lily bulbs
differs more than the quality
of most other bulbs and as
growers' profits are regulated
so largely by that quality, it
is most necessary to get the
best there is. Now, there are
no better lily bulbs grown
than Horseshoe Brand Gi-
ganteum. They cost more
to grow than most other
brands, and they are worth
more to a grower than any
brand we know of, consider-
ing the average results. You
can rely upon this brand
more than most brands be-
cause it is more uniform year
after year. Price in some
bulbs is a very important
factor in the profit, but the
fellow who buys lily bulbs by
price, will get burnt forty-
nine times out of fifty. Prices
fluctuate in bulbs just as they
do in wheat, potatoes, or any
other commodity. Send for
prices on lily bulbs before
buying elsewhere, especially
if you want quantities.

This Time Try Sutton's Seeds
NONE ARE AS CAREFULLY TESTED
MANY a new thing that looked good in
many a catalogue has proved a failure
or an impossible freak when it came
to growing it. Back of everything you buy
of Sutton's is their known reputation for ex-
treme care in testing out everything they
put out.
You will find the catalogue tells, plainly
and frankly, exactly what each item is. No
wordy beauty flights.
It's one of the reasons why you can feel
entirely safe in ordering any of the many
new and unusual things in our catalogue
this year.
You know full well that no one tests their
productions as carefully or as constantly as
we do.
Send 85 cents for our 190-page catalogue,
which amount will be refunded on your first
order for $5.00.

BILLS PENDING.
Senator Ackerson has filed in the
New Jersey senate a bill (S. 11) to
regulate the sale of agricultural seeds
and to provide standards of purity and
germination. This is the old Iowa type
of seed bill, discarded for the label law
of more recent seed legislation. The
bill affects all classes of seeds and is
highly objectionable to the seed trade
and of little protective value to pur-
chasers of seeds.
There was a hearing before the house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures at Washington, January 20, to
consider Congressman Dillon's bill (H.
B. 150) relative to establishing stand-
ard weights of commodities, including
peas, beans, etc. Several seedsmen and
Curtis Nye Smith, attorney for the
American Seed Trade Association, were
present and presented arguments.

Special Telegram.
iLos Angeles, January 31. — Owing to
new washouts, trains are not yet run-
ning over the Union Pacific to southern
Arizona points and beyond. The Santa
Fe railroad is open to Prescott and
northern points. The delay in ship-
ments of cut flowers, plants and nurs-
ery stock is due to the crippled trans-
portation. The weather now, however,
appears to have settled, and by the
time this is in print everything prob-
ably will be normal. Those awaiting
shipments should bear with conditions
for a few days.
The Market.
Boses continue scarce, and of poor
color in most cases, but there is evi-
dence of brighter weather being on the
way, so we hope for better things
shortly. Since last writing it has
rained more or less every day — usually
more. So much rain has fallen that
even the orange growers say they have
had enough. Too much rain, it seems,
damages the skin of the ripe fruit.
A great difference is noted, at such
times as these, between the carnations
g^owD in the foothill districts and
those near the beaches or in the val-
leys. The soil in the former locations
is more or less decomposed granite,
mixed with finer silt, and here the flow-
ers are firmer in texture and last longer
thanirom the lower-lying land near the
ocean. In dry weather the difference
is not so marked, but it is quite ap-
parent that much of the shore land is
about worked out for carnation grow-
ing. Freesias are arriving in fine shape
and, as usual early in the season, sell
well. Violets are plentiful and cheap,
but the demand is good. It is strange
that, with the fine violet climate, so few
growers handle the double varieties
here. Bulbous stock is coming along
fast now, many of the later daffodils
making their appearance this week.
Last season's importations of Dutch
bulbs are not making a particularly
good showing so far; many tulips are
apparently of especially poor quality,
laly of the valley is in fair demand,
but the supply is limited.
The scarcity of plants is also being
felt now. Primula obconica, in its best
hybrid forms, is among the prettiest of-
ferings in low-priced staples. Some
nice cyclamens still are offered, as well
as a sprinkling of azaleas, mostly hold-
over stock. Lilacs are poor this year
and this is also true of most of the
imported hardy shrubs that are usually
forced at this season. The double
white form of Prunus Amygdalus is as
pretty as anything now offered. Greens
remain plentiful and of good quality.
Large Boston ferns are scarce, but there
is an abundance -of small and medium
grades. Funeral work keepfi up well.
Varions Notes.
One of the prettiest of the small-
flowered roses now becoming so popu-
lar is Baby Elegance. The fully de-
veloped flowers are like a small edition
of those of Irish Elegance, but as grown
under glass by H. W. Turner at Monte-
bello the bud is not so brightly tinted,
being a kind of buff rather than crim-
son. It is a lovely little flower, never-
theless, and so free-blooming that Mr.
Turner confesses to an inability to
raise it as fast as he wishes, though a
large block of it in one of the new
houses hardly bears this out.
Walter Armacost & Co. are reported
to have under consideration the erec-
tion of four more large greenhouses.
Mr. Armacost says he finds it impossi-
ble to keep pace with the increasing
demand, even with the present large
and modern range; hence the increase.
C. E, Morton, who left here with
Mrs. Morton recently, to drive to
Tucson, Ariz., must have had some
lively experiences in the storm. At
one spot the radiator and hood of the
car had to be wrapped in blankets
preparatory to fording a stream, and
when last heard of they were marooned
in Phoenix, waiting for the waters to
recede.
A recent shipment of flowers left the
store of S. Murata & Co. on Saturday
and, owing to washouts on the rail,
was returned by the express company
the next Tuesday afternoon. The stock
was found in excellent condition and
this speaks volumes for the careful way
in which stock is packed by this well-
known firm. Mr. Murata says that
business is about twenty-five per cent
better than at this time last year.
I noted some splendid freesias being
shipped.
W. H. Eldred, of Eldred's Flower
Shop, Pasadena, has been laid up for
a few days at his home.
The L. A, Floral Co. reports that the
firm had little trouble in shipping dur-
ing the recent disturbance of traffic.
This was owing to careful routing and
rerouting over different lines, where
necessary to reach given points. Ex-
tremely few complaints were received.
A shipment from here recently went ta
Battle Creek, Mich., and was reported
in good shape.
The landscape department of the
Germain Seed & Plant Co. has been
awarded the contract for planting the
new parkways on the West Adams
boulevard. While orders have piled up
somewhat on ornamentals and other
balled stock which it was impossible
to get out of the ground, fruit stock,
roses and plants have been kept
moving.
Tom Wright spends his time about
equally between the store, the green-
houses at Gardena and his hog ranch
at Bakersfield, and things seem to be
humming at all three places. The roses
arriving at the store are excellent now
and a fine cut is on, despite the recent
dull and rainy weather.

new quarters, on Seventh street, Janu-

Another eighteen hours* heavy rain
has occurred and is being followed at
this date, January 27, by a high wind
that cannot fail to be harmful, espe-
cially to newly planted stock. The
■water in the city streets and some
other districts is higher today than at
any time during the storm.

Many retailers complain that they can-

Freesias are in fair supply and finer

which is extremely scarce. The show-

cially Beauties. Ophelia and Bussell
are in strong demand and Prima Donna
finds much favor. There are hardly any
Cecile Brunner roses at present. Vio-
lets are coming more heavily, but really
fine stock is scarce. Cyclamen con-
tinues good and is considerably used,
both cut and in pots. . Cut primulas and
heather help out in the absence of other
stock. Gardenias are almost entirely
off crop and Easter lilies are scarce, the
demand being rather strong. Compared
with ordinary conditions, orchids are
the most plentiful in the market, in-
cluding a good many fine varieties.
Many good azaleas are coming in, but
there are few rhododendrons. Good
camellias find a ready sale. Asparagus
is scarce. Considerable acacia is used,
the blooms being forced. A novel and
attractive article is the native man-
zanita brush, which is blooming un-
usually well, the glossy red bark and
small white and pinkish bells making a
fine appearance.
Various Notes.
F. Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co.,
is bringing in good schizanthus for the
store. He is cutting many primulas
from his own plants, and his lavender
violet, Quaker Lady, is beginning to
bloom sufficiently to make a window
showing. It is a pleasing novelty, but
the cut still is rather light.
Daniel Eaymond, of the Garden City
Pottery Co., returned a few days "ago
from his trip to the eastern pottery
manufacturers, and is making his usual
rounds of the trade.
N. Peterson, of the Peninsula Nur-
sery, says he has been staying up nights
looking after the heat in his carnation
houses, but that the way carnations
sell now he considers them worth los-
ing a little sleep over. However, he is
considering putting in an oil-burning
system, as not only easier to handle but
cheaper than coal.
As a result of a meeting of the stock-
holders and directors of the Luther Bur-
bank Co., it has been decided to throw
the concern into liquidation rather than
attempt to refinance it. The local store
was closed after the holidays.
The Motroni flower store on Fillmore
street has been showing some ranun-
culus the last few days, which Mr. Mo-
troni believes are the first to appear
here this season. He had a few vases
of the pretty pink and white chrysan-
themum. Queen Florida, which were
quite an attraction.
Neal T. Childs, who last year started
a flower store in Oakland as headquar-
ters for his landscape engineering work,
has closed the store and opened an office
in San Francisco, intending to give his
entire attention to landscape and deco-
rative work.
J. A. Carbone is bringing in quite
a lot of sprays of the hybrid odonto-
plossum that scored ninety-nine points
.it the last Horticultural Society meet-
ing. He has a house of Phalesnopsis
Schilleriana about ready, and the stock
is to be used in Valentine displays.
Everybody wants to be Pete Ferrari 's
friend, for he is bringing in about the
only valley to be had in this market.
He has only a light cut, which is being
distributed as fairly as possible among
his regular trade, and has enough in
cold storage to last a month or two
longer. He is doing fairly well with his
roses, especially Ophelia, and has quite
a lot of forced tulips and hyacinths. He
reports a good market for azaleas, of
which he still has a large stock. He

The Market.
A few days of normal winter weather
were followed last week by another
spell of cold and snow. The total snow-
fall for January was about two feet,
breaking all records since 1890. During
the normal weather a strong wind came
up from the south and did some damage
to the greenhouse ranges situated in ex-
posed places. Late reports of the first
cold spell are that several ranges suf-
fered from frost in a greater or less
degree. Considering that the green-
houses here are not equipped with heat-
ing plants designed to keep up growing
temperatures against such cold winds,
it is not surprising that some damage
was done.
At the nurseries no attempt is made
to fill orders except from stock in stor-
age, and orders are piling up which will
cause a rush when the weather permits.
The seedsmen are taking advantage of
the lull in business to make changes
in their stores and put up retail packets
of seeds.
There was more than a normal quan-
tity of funeral work, and the graduat-
ing exercises at the schools resulted in
considerable business. Carnations are
coming in more plentifully — thanks to
the few bright days — and the supply
of bulbous stock has increased. Daffo-
^is, tulips, freesias, Romans and Paper
Whites, potted and cut, are seen in most

Competent landscape men again are in
strong demand for nurseries that do a
retail business.
"We sell a tremendous lot of shrubs
and perennials to florists through list-
ing them with prices in the Classified sec-
tion of The Keview." It was a promi-
nent middle-western nurseryman who
said it.
William C. Barry, perennial president
of the Western New York Horticultural
Society, was again reelected at the
meeting held at Kochester January 26
to 28. Most of the nurserymen of the
state were present, there being a fine
exhibition and a large attendance of
fruit growers.
Nurserymen, whether or not they deal
largely in pecan trees, will be interested
in Farmers' Bulletin No. 700, issued
January 18 by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. It is by C. A. Beed and
bears the title: "Pecan Culture; with
Special Eeference to Propagation nnd
Varieties. ' '
The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111.,
is organizing a department to handle re-
tail planting work in any part of the
central states in which it is not repre-
sented by florist agents or customers. The
plans were developed by J. A. Young, the
manager, while confined to the hospital
with a severely cut wrist.
DISTRIBUTION OF IMPOBTS.
Since the federal quarantine law
went into effect there have been com-
piled many interesting statistics not
previously available. For instance, the
Federal Horticultural Board, with its
records of the disposition of every case
of nursery stock imported during the
last two years, finds the following to
have been the distribution by states
of all nursery stock brought into this
country from abroad during the fiscal
years ended June 30:

ROCHELLE— See pagre 90
and 26. The attendance during the 2-
day session was fair, there being more
than sixty members from all parts of
New England present.
The meeting was opened at 1:30 p. ra.
with an address by Charles H. Greaton,
■of Providence, E. L, then president of
the association. The reports of the com-
mittees on publicity, membership, leg-
islation and on standardization in sizes
of nursery stock were all made, and
nominating and auditing committees
were appointed. Previous to the sched-
uled addresses, the convention heard
several addresses by state nursery in-
spectors.
The principal paper was read by W.
E. Campbell, of New Haven, Conn., who
spoke on "Assembling, Packing and
Shipping Systems." Harlan P. Kelsey,
of Boston, spoke on "Surplus Nursery
Stock and Its Disposal." This paper
brought forth some interesting discus-
sions. It was the general opinion of
those who spoke that nursery stock
should not be grown over and above
the general demand for any given year.
It was regarded as poor business prac-
tice to retain old stock.
The election of officers on the second
'^Hy of the annual meeting resulted as
follows: President, George C. Thurlow,
•of West Newburg, Mass.; vice-presi-
•It^nt, A. P. Home, of Manchester, N.H.;
secretary, Daniel A. Clarke, of Fiske-
}^^ille, R. I.; treasurer, V. A. Vanicek, of

MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Last week the sun was conspicuous
by its absence, and while we had a sur-
feit of rain during most of the week,
toward the end it turned colder and we
had a snow storm for variation. Stock
has been scarce and, although the mar-
ket is easing up somewhat, there is not
enough of any item, with the possible
exception of carnations and violets.
Carnations have shown a marked in-
crease in quantity, but they are seri-
ously lacking in quality. The stock is
weak and splits form a large percent-
age of the cut. Prices are not so strong
as they were, but stock is clearing up
each day and is bringing good returns.
Roses show little increase and the short-
age, especially on the cheaper grades,
still is acute. The quality shows no
deterioration and orders are turned
down daily. Violets are moving well,
although the cut has increased mate-
rially. The quality is about the same.
Sweet peas are beginning to come in
heavily and are cleaning up daily. This
seems to have little or no influence on
the violet sales, which show no falling
off.
Stevia has been in large supply and
has sold tremendously well this season.
The crop is on the wane but still cuts
a big figure in the market. Valley re-
mains scarce and is none too good. It
is cleaning up each day with no diffi-
culty, at fair prices. Orchids are in.
good demand, and since the visit of
our President and Mrs. Wilson .January
31 we expect that the call for them will
be much heavier. Mrs. Wilson carried
a huge bouquet of orchids and wore a
single bloom at her collar. This varia-
tion from the usual was not lost upon
the ladies of the community and no
social function will be complete unless
my lady has at least one orchid worn
conspicuously.
Various Notes.
A. Schiller, who recently underwent
a serious operation, is reported some-
what better and the hopes are much
brighter for his recovery, although that
will not be for some time.
Walter Holton is getting restless at
the hospital and longs to get into the
harness again. Although he is recover-
ing rapidly, the doctors will not let him
exert himself for several weeks at least,
and he probably will not be on the job
until the early part of March.
J. Karins, with Henry A. Dreer, Inc.,
Philadelphia, visited the trade here Jan-
uary 29. C. B. Knickman, with Mc-
Hutchison & Co., New York, came in
January 31 and spent the day accumu-
lating orders and chatting on current
topics. H. J. S.

PITTSBUBOH.
The Market.
Real summer weather, with a temper-
ature of 71 degrees January 30, has not
helped trade to any great extent. There
is enough stock of all kinds to meet
the demand, except roses, which are at
their worst, and it will be some time
before the local supply will be in.
Carnations are coming in fast and
prices will drop. Lilies still are short
of the demand, but tulips and Trumpet
narcissi are helping out. Violets seem
to have almost lost their place in the
stores and it has been up to the street
fakers to dispose of them, which means
poor returns for the growers. The
wholesalers are beginning to carry
stock over; for the first time this year
they have use for their refrigerators.
The retail stores nearly all report a
slight slump; even funeral work has
dropped off. Seasonable weather
would, no doubt, improve conditions
somewhat.
Various Notes.
Ernest Zieger, of Philadelphia, has
been spending a few days visiting his
brother, Herman, of Aspinwall, and,
incidentally, calling on his old friends
in the city.
Eugene Dailledouze, of New York,
stopped off long enough on his way
home from the west and south to make
a visit to Bakerstown.
The Horticultural Society of Western
Pennsylvania met January 24 in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
J. K. M. L. Farquhar gave his lantern
lecture on "The Gardens of China and
Japan" and had a splendid audience.
Quite a number of the members of the
Garden Club and the Florists' Club
were present and spent a pleasant eve-
ning.
The Florists' Club met Tuesday,
February 2, at the Fort Pitt hotel.

The Best Red
If you attended the A. C. S. Convention at St. Louis last week, you no doubt looked over
carefully the showing of the new reds (everybody is looking for a good red). Some of them
may have caught your fancy, in which case you may have bought for next year's planting. On
the other hand, each one may have lacked something and you are still undecided. In that case,
we invite you to come and look over a scarlet which we propose to disseminate in 1917.
This one lacks nothing, in the opinion of the many experts who have visited here during
this season. It has color, size, stem, constitution and freedom. As one visitor put it, "there
is no gamble in buying this one."
Let this be a standing invitation for you to come and see "Merry Christmas" growing.
We are booking orders right along now at $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. Don't
wait until all the early cuttings are sold, but "do it now."

(A Book Every Retailer Needs)
npHE original Album of Designs was published in response to many
reauests 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 Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not
practicable to show the customer the finished article as it would be when
leady for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to
sho'^ the flnl8lied \eork in beautifully printed pictures. The first
edition sold like hot cakes, and a second edition went quickly. Now a
third edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard
designs and many nevr and heretofore unpublished pieces.

New Salmon Pink Carnation
Color, light salmon pink, a little darker than Pink Delight and a more even color. Blooms are good commercial
size, three inches and over, nicely formed and haye never sbovni a bursted calyx. Stems always hold the flower
upright. The habit is a quick productive growth and as a producer it stands highest among commercial varieties.
Color does not fade. Fragrance is very noticeable. Having an excellent cerise pink and an improved yeUow to offer
in 1917, we have decided to disseminate the variety NANCY this year (1916). For a light pink that will produce
quantities of bloom and is commercially good in every respect, plant NANCY. The stock is limited and orders
will be filled in rotation as received. Price, rooted cuttings, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

INTRODUCERS
Saginaw, Michigan
WILL A RIIADEB ANSWER?
Can you tell me what is best to use
for plants that have lost their color!
This condition seems quite bad here.
Nearly all kinds of plants, shrubs and
even some trees seem to lose chloro-
phyll, or green coloring matter, to the
extent of becoming yellow and perfect-
ly white at times, causing lots of stock
to die. One man told me that accord-
ing to government analysis of the soil
it is deficient in phosphoric acid, iron
and potash. He advised giving cop-
peras to bring back color. I did this
successfully, but in some cases it seemed
to burn the edges of the leaves. I
have used quantities of sand, trying to
give perfect drainage, but even this
does not altogether relieve conditions.
Thfe trouble may be in the water, which
is artesian. It seems to have consider-
able lime and magnesia. This is a soft
limestone formation in this district. Pot

BALTIMOEE.
The Market.
The exceptionally warm weather that
prevailed last week affected the supply
of cut flowers so that by Thursday the
receipts became heavier and the prices
dropped. The street fakers were on the
streets with cut flowers of all kinds, in-
cluding sweet peas^ the first since the
mum season. Business has increased,
but not so rapidly as the supply.
Of carnations, a good percentage are
splits, but even then all the good stock
is not being moved. In roses the supply
has greatly increased, with the demand
mostly for short and medium grades.
The longer stock in many cases sold for
the price of good mediums. Daffodils
and Paper Whites are in oversupply
and hard to move even at a low price.
Valley and violets are plentiful and
move slowly. The weather also has
greatly impaired the keeping quality of
•stock, and carnations deteriorate in a
short time, even if they are freshly cut.
Tulips are coming in more heavily and
are moving well at a fair price.
Various Notes.
The E. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. has
its stock in good shape this season
and the men are working night and day
on shipping orders. Recently a carload
of dahlias containing 23,000 clumps
were shipped as one order.
liohr & Fritze are sending good Dou-
ble White Killarney roses to the S. S.
Pennock-Meehan Co. The stems run
from thirty to thirty-six inches long
and the buds are equal in size to large
Beauties.
Philip B. Welsh is sending in a fine
lot of La Reine and Yellow Prince tu-
lips, as well as a good rose-pink variety.
Halliday Bros, are showing some fine
cyclamens at their store on Charles
street, which were grown at the Monk-
ton greenhouses.
Samuel Feast & Sons had an elaborate
decoration for a large banquet held at
Hotel Eennert last week. Large num-
bers of potted lilacs, azaleas, palms,
pink roses and rubrum lilies were used.
The Hamilton Flower Shop is showing
several effective arrangements of spring
flowers in its display window. Snap-
dragons, calendulas, yellow carnations
and tulips are being used.
J. J. Perry visited Philadelphia last
week to get a line on the coming Na-
tional Flower Show, for he is a member
of the local committee which is working
up interest in this show. W. F. E.

The Market.
Trade was fair last week; stock was
unusually scarce. Carnations are in
fairly good supply, but roses are not
sufficient for half the demand for them
and the prices are out of sight. Jon-
quils are becoming more plentiful, but
the prices .still are high. Freesias, val-
ley, lilies, sweet peas, Paper Whites
and Bomans are finding a ready market.
The trade on violets has been a trifle
dull. There is a good supply of pot
plants, which meet a fair demand. The
weather has been cloudy and we have
had much rain. The city is in danger
of another flood if the rain continues.
Various Notes.
A party of eastern growers, composed
of Samuel Goddard and William Nichol-
son, of Framingham, Mass.; C. S.
Strout, of Biddeford, Me.; A. Roper, of
Tewksbury, Mass.; William E. Lenk,
of Halifax, Mass.; A. Montgomery, of
Natick, Mass., and Ernest Saunders of
Lewiston, Me., stopped off at Indian-
apolis on their way home from the Car-
nation Society convention at St. Louis,
to pay a visit to Baur & Steinkamp and
inspect the firm's carnations. These
gentlemen were well pleased with their
visit, stating that the carnations were
the finest they had seen on their trip
west. The easterners were the guests
of Baur & Steinkamp for dinner at the
Claypool hotel before their departure
for Eichmond, Ind., where they visited
the E. G. Hill establishment.
Hartje & Elder are going to add two
new houses to their plant next year.
They intend to grow carnations in the
new additions.
William Hament has acquired the in-
terest of Walter Hanson in the firm of
Hament & Hanson, and will have full
charge in the future.
H. F. Winter, of Charleston, W. Va.;
S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia; Julius
Dilloff, with Schloss Bros., New York,
■ and R. Zetlitz, of Lima, O., were visi-
tors last week.
The Indianapolis florists who attend-
ed the carnation convention at St. Louis
last week are all well pleased with their
efforts in securing the next convention
for Indianapolis. These gentlemen
were high in their praise of the St.
Louis florists for the manner in which
the show was handled and the hospital-
ity shown the visiting florists.
The A. Wiegand's Sons Co. has pur-
chased glass for two new houses, to be
built this year. H. L. W.

Japanese Anemone C. L. HUTCHINSON Single Anemone MRS. CARRIE RYERSON
In this variety we have the ideal Anemone.
The color of the petals is a pure white and the
center a bright yellow, making a beautiful con-
trast. It is a good grower, splendid dark foli-
age, and, the best of all for pot work, needs no
support.
Japanese Anemone MARIE POOLE
Very distinct and beautiful flower, which is
very large, and the color is a combination of
bronzy salmon, flushed with pink; the high
center is bright orancre yellow. One of the
oddest°and must novel flowers ever introduced.

CINOINNATI.
The Market.
The supply is again heavy and, bar-
ring extremely cold and cloudy weather,
it is sufficient for all immediate needs.
Prices have dropped somewhat from
their high plane of the last two we.eks.
Boses, while apparently sufficient for
present needs, still arejEar^jfrom plenti-
ful. The carnation cut is large and
the blooms arriving are of good quality.
There are, however, quite a few splits
in the cut. Easter lilies are plentiful
and have commenced to crowd a little.
Valley is in larger supply than it was.
Sweet peas, violets and orchids are
plentiful. The narcissus, jonquil and
daffodil cuts are equal to present needs.
Other offerings include rubrum lilies,
callas, primroses, marguerites and white
and colored freesias.

Greenhouse Heating.
SxjBSOitiBEBS 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 COAI. MABKET.
Since the last boom in the coal busi-
ness, unseasonably mild weather has
intervened, but the unfilled orders that
accumulated during the cold wave are
still almost suflScient to keep the entire
trade busy, from the mine operators to
the retailers. Besides, many users of
coal, actuated by the fear that the
miners may strike at the expiration of
their present wage contract, are buying
fuel for storage. There seem to be
good reasons for hoping that a strike
may be avoided, but many of the con-
sumers believ^ that full coal bins are
the best guarantee against future
trouble and are acting accordingly.
Thus the held-over orders, combined
with the demand for fuel for storage,
are keeping the market firm. The call
for mine-run smokeless is fairly strong
and the circular price, $1.40 at the
mines, is generally maintained.
WANTS A HiaHEB TEMPERATUEE.
My greenhouses are piped for hot
water heat. One of the houses is 25x
50; it is exposed on both sides and the
walls contain three feet of glass and
two and one-half feet of board siding;
the gables are not exposed; it has
twelve 4-inch flows and return mains,
running the length of the house. An-
other house is 17x32, running north and
south; it has five 4-inch flows and re-
turns, running around it. Another
house is 15x20, exposed on three sides;
it has eight 4-inch pipes. There is also
a lean-to, 8x25, which has three 4-inch
pipes in it. A hot water boiler is in-
stalled. Though the circulation seems
to be good, I can not keep a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees when the outside
temperatufe is 5 or 10 degrees above
zero, except with strenuous firing.
Can I install an auxiliary steam boil-
er, and thus, with the help of the hot
water boiler, raise the temperature in
the houses to 65 degrees in zero weath-
er! What is the smallest size of pipe
that I could use successfully with it.

THE HEATING PROBLEM SOLVED
JurilMI strictly icearitai ta ■celiNical ■trits, H'<
the METROPOLITM PMENTED BOILER fN wmt.
Because of their proven ecientlflcally perfect con-
•tmction. Metropolitan Patented Boilers will beat a
fflven amonnt of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.
The remarkable heatingr efficiency and quick
steamlnK qualities of these boilers are due to tbelr
large and effective heating surface.
Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit:— Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip-
ple connecUons. Large fire box. providing ample
combustion chamber, and permitting a sufficient
charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter-
vals. Deep ash pit. making the removal of ashea a
slight task. Large flues, making the boiler easy to
clean. Orates that are made for hard usage and long
service. \nd above all, they are Fnel Saving, not
Fuel Wasting.
Wq also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 60 per cent in coal.

J. T.— N. Y.
So far as we can judge from the de-
scription given, the houses have ample
radiation for 60 degrees, except, per-
haps, the lean-to. If the house 17x32
has five 4-inch pipes running around
three sides, these should be sufficient
for 65 or even 70 degrees.
From the statement that the steam
boiler must be on the greenhouse level.
It occurs to us that the heating pipes
in the hot water system may be below
the top of the boiler, and that arrange-
ment would tend to check the flow of
the water. If the boiler can not be
lowered, we would suggest installing

The Florists' Review
Febbdaby 3, 1916.
One-inch pipe may be used in the
coils for steam heating. To raise the
temperature 15 degrees above the tem-
peratures furnished by the present hot
water plant, the various houses will
require the following steam radiation:
In the house 25x50, put in one 1^-inch
overhead feed pipe and bring back
three 1-inch returns on each side wall.
In the house 17x32, add one flow and
two returns on each wall. For the
house 15x20, put in one 1 14-inch flow
and two 1-inch returns on each wall.
In the lean-to, use a 1%-inch flow on
the back wall and carry two 1-inch re-
turns around on the outer walls.
The two independent houses will re-
quire about 100 square feet of steam
radiation each. To furnish the required
steam for this radiation, a 10-horse-
power boiler will be needed, and if con-
siderably larger than this it will re-
quire less frequent attention. A hori-
zontal boiler is preferable to one with
vertical tubes when set on the surface.
Constant attention will be required if
wood is used as fuel.

DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES
There is no need of you, Mr. Florist, taking any chances if you feed the
"Magic Way."
One plant food will not do for all plants and vegetables. A strong man
can't thrive on the food that a weak man can.
Therefore, each distinct plant you are growing needs a special plant food, if
you are to obtain the most cuttings and the best quality.
Tell us what you are growing, and how much bench space you devote to

The Florists^ Review
Fbbbcabt 3, 1916.
SCRANTON, PA.
The Market.
Business last week was satisfactory
in all lines, particularly in funeral
work. Roses and carnations are scarce.
Daffodils, sweet peas, tulips and other
spring stock are plentiful. Narcissi are
in moderate supply, but there are not
enough of them to meet the demand.
Violets, orchids and lily of valley are
plentiful. Freesias were noted in the
stores last week.
Various Notes.
A. L. Besancon & Co. were rushed
last week with funeral work. Their
window display during the automobile
show consisted of an auto basket filled
with Eussell roses and white lilacs.
T. J. Nolan, of the King Construc-
tion Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y., is
around again after a six weeks' sick-
ness.
Miss Anna Griffiths, of the West Side
Floral Shop, reports a busy week in
funeral work.
Mrs. M. Muir, this city's pioneer
woman florist, says that business has
been better than ever with her this sea-
son.
John W. Beagle reports a heavy de-
mand for Boston ferns. He is cutting
some fine daffodils, tulips and lilies.
B. E. & J. T. Cokely are busy getting
out their bulk seed orders for the
wholesale trade, and florists' flower and
vegetable seeds. A card from J. T.
Cokely, who is traveling through New
York state, reports business better than
during his last trip.
January 22 the Baldwin Overland de-
livery automobile was totally destroyed
by fire. The chauffeur. Jack Bulter,
burned his hands in trying to extin-
guish the blaze. The loss was partly
covered by insurance.
The New York Floral Co. reports a
big increase in business resulting from
larger and better window displays. I
noted at the store some fine Spencer
peas, orchids and bunches of pink
oleanders, a flower rarely seen in this
city. F. J. M.
Scranton, Pa. — C. P. Becker has taken
on a side line, the products of the Bead-
ing Bone Fertilizer Co., which he plans
to sell to the trade.

The Florists^ Review
February 3, 1916.
MOTT-IiY MUSINOS.
At the George W. Haas & Son estab-
lishment, of Meadville, Pa., I was shown
a fine lemon plant in fruit, suggested as
a suitable gift. Funeral work has been
heavy of late with this concern.
Henry J. Krueger, of Meadville, re-
ports the largest amount of funeral
work for some time. I found him
packing his grip for a hunting trip. He
sajl^s the lure of the forest at times
overshadows the excitement of hunting
for eelworms, especially when a silver
or/ black fox may be part of the game
tmgged. In his absence the business
will be well taken care of by Mr. and
Mrs. Krueger, Sr.
C. K. Betts. of Meadville, is well
pleased with the first year in business
and contemplates making some changes
ere long.
Geo. A. Heelas, of Jamestown, N. Y.,
said he felt rather bad when two large
shipments of fine plants just received
by express were badly frozen. Extra
care in packing is necessary, especially
at this season of the year. He reports
an exceptionally busy time.
The Lake View Kose Gardens, of
Jamestown, it is feared, will not be
represented at the National Flower
Show by our old friend, Lawrence
Cotter, who has been on the sick list
for some time. Charles Cotter is ably
managing the big range during his
father's illness.
Dana A. Herron, Clean, N. Y., is of the
opinion that the Philadelphia show will
be a "hummer," and is watching with
jealous care some promising stock that
he proposes to take to Philadelphia to
secure at least one of the valuable
prizes offered. iJuring his absence For-
rest Herron will be in charge of the
business. He tells me there is a possi-
bility of another range of glass ere
long.
John Walker, of Youngstown, C, will
be on his usual trip to the Isle of
Pines, Cuba, by the time these notes
are in print. Ferns and bedding stock
are his specialty and the plants will be
in good shape by the time he returns.
He has some good orders for grape-
fruit and pineapples to keep him busy
for a while in Cuba.
The Gilbot Floral Co., of Akron, says
it keeps one busy looking for the buds
of promise to open during the dull days,
when business seems brisk because of
the scarcity of flowers.

EAITSAS 0IT7.
The Market
January was a banner month, accord-
ing to general reports. There was an
increase in funeral work of about fifty
per cent. Market conditions are grad-
ually becoming normal. The extreme
scarcity of stock soon will be relieved.
Bulbous stock is plentiful. There are
large quantities of jonquils, and tulips
and hyacinths are more plentiful than
they have been. Boses still are scarce,
but a larger supply is expected this
week. The prices on carnations have
dropped. Sweet peas are scarce and
violets are plentiful and in good de-
mand. Taken as a whole, the supply of
cut flowers still is short of the demand.
Various Kotee.
E. Frandsen had another freeze in
his greenhouses, the second within ten
days, in which he lost practically all
his stock.
Mr. Parker, president of the Geo. M.
Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., has pneu-
monia, and Miss Brown of the store
force, is confined to her home with the
grip. The annual meeting of the stock-
holders of this concern was held at
Pleasant Hill.
E. Odom, with W. J. Barnes, rejoices
in the arrival, January 24, of a 9-pound
baby girl.
Claude Huckleberry is again back at
the greenhouses of J. Austin.
John Jones, who was rose grower at
the greenhouses of the W. L. Rock
Flower Co., but lately with the Magic
Fertilizer Co., now is with the Cochrane
Packing Co.
T. J. Noll's cat won a first and a
second prize at a recent cat show.
Mr. Noll reports a big increase in the
supply of carnations and lilies, and
says an increase in roses is looked for
next week.
Miss (Lou Boggess was especially
busy last week with funeral work.
A. F. Barbe is growing 2,500 lily
plants for the spring trade. He is cut-
ting an excellent crop of carnations.
H. Smith, who makes a specialty of
bulbous stock, is sending in excellent
tulips and hyacinths to this market.
He is cutting high-grade Golden Spur
narcissi.
Biedermann & Son have about half
their space devoted to bedding stock,
which looks promising.
Visitors last week were James B.
Foley, of Chicago; C. H. Perkins, of
the Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark,
N. Y. W. J. B.

SQUARE DIRT BANDS.
Very soon every live florist will make
free use of square dirt bands in plant
growing. The advantages of square
bands over round pots are so evident
that none can afford to pass them by.
Better plants, less trouble, less water,
less space, more soil, are a few favor-
able points.
The next step is to get the best band.
Our BEADY-USE is the "last thing"
in square bands. It is ready for the
plant. If you have spare time for
folding, our plain bands will answer
the same purpose. Send postal for free
samples.

DIBT BAND. "The best band in
the land," is the way one enthusiast
puts it.
If you don't know the value of dirt
bands begin by putting your carnation
plants into size two or two and one-
half inch. You will forever sing praises
to the square band. They take care of
all plants just as well, and anything
that grows in a pot will grow better
in a band.

T^HIS is probably the
■■■ best time of the
year to take up the
matter of new green-
houses, as well as addi-
tions to present ranges,
and it is for this reason
we suggest that you
write us regarding
your requirements.
Remember, we are
greenhousemen as well
as manufacturers, and
operate our own foun-
dry, machine shop and
wood mill, which have
been designed, erected
and equipped for the
fabrication of green- 1
house material. ^

There Is an EASY and E3XACT way to fold
Dirt Bands.
The Directions how to do this after two years
of experiment we reduced to 87 words and re-
ceived a Copyright on the Directions In 1914.
There Is no other EASY and EXACT way to
fold them and no one can print these Directions
as we have a Copyright on tnem.
We also Copyrighted In 1914 the next and only
other two fairly exact methods.
Our Square Paper Dirt Bands are the
original of all that are on the market today.
All others being sold are Imitations of these
we BdTertlae, and some of the Imitations being
sold are made of cheap paper, costing only ahout
half as much as our heavy stock. We sell no
experiments. Ours have been tried out by long
use in the greenhouse. They will stand up in
any wet and beat as long aa wanted. Sample*

F. W. Rochelle & Sons,

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state
that I planted seedling stock plants and snap-
dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands tbat I
received from you early in January.
We took some of these out and planted them
where they are to remain about the 15tb of
February. They made GOOD GROWTH while
In the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they
had never been moved at all.
I have now about 14,000 carnation plants
started in 2-ln. bands which are making a RAPID
GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant-
ing from the sand.
I also have about 20,000 aster plants trans-
planted in 2-ln. bands which can stay there till
time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF
BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case
if I used 2-in. pots.
Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND
enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS,
and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT
OP ATTENTION that a pot plant does. In water-
ing, shifting, transplaoting, etc.
I make my bands and set them in flats, as I
make them up. each flat holding 117.
When we get crowded indoors it takes but a
short time to move the flats to a cold frame,
where we harden them off before setting them in
the fleld.
One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER
TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the
fleld from these bands and flats than he can from
pots, and after he Is through DOES NOT HAVE
THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN-
ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS.
I believe anyone using these bands ONCB
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER.
Yours truly,
H. B. Weaver.
Mr. Weaver grows carnations, mignonette,
sweet peas, asters, etc. He ordered 6,000 Dirt

(gentlemen: • • • We would say that we
used all the Paper Pots we got from you to raise
tomato plants.
Our weather is often very severe late in May,
therefore we have to keep them inside and we
were certainly very satisfied with the splendid
results obtained from the Paper Pots.
In fact, WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH
TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE CHARGED EX-
ACTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT we did other
years and yet our CUSTOMERS INSISTED ON
HAVING THOSE IN PAPER POTS.
In our hot sun they never wilted.
We reserved a few for Primulas and certainly
have some fine ones.
It was easier to keep them watered and grow-
ingduring the hot months.
Wishing you success.

Gentlemen: I used some of your Paper Pots
last spring, which were highly satisfactory.
I grew Roses, Salvias, Verbenas, Petunias and
Geraniums in the Paper Pots for retail trade.
THEY NEARLY DOUBLED MY SAI.KS.
I always had fine thrifty plants to send out and
I delivered them in the pots, which insured them
reaching my patrons in good condition.
I never had a complaint of fiowers dying or
wilting.
I buy some of my plants, which I set right in
the pots.
They are ready for delivery within a few days.
When plants are set out there Is no collecting
pots or watering to be done.
I intend to use them altogether next season.
Yours very truly,

NEWAEK, N. J.
The Market.
All stock profited by the warmer and
brighter weather of last week. Bulbous
stock is steadily increasing and the
prices are slowly decreasing. Sweet
peas are more plentiful and their qual-
ity is steadily improving. Orchids are
abundant and cheap. The prices on
other stock keep up well, though they
have dropped from the unusually high
prices of a few weeks ago. While
there is much funeral work and other
business, there is not that snap to busi-
ness that existed a few weeks ago.
Various Notes.
J. H. Harvey is slowly recovering
from his severe attack of the grip. Mrs.
Harvey has been ill of the same dis-
ease.
Charles Witheridge made good use of
the warm days last week by replacing
a number of panes of glass in his green-
houses.
George Penek reports that he has had
more funeral work this winter than dur-
ing any of the last three or four win-
ters.
Fred P. Wolfinger, who has been
away from business for several months
on account of illness, now is back at
the store again. He took a trip to the
southern states and to Bermuda as a
health restorative.
Charles Trauth, of 475 Orange street,
states that he has had an unusually
heavy demand for potted ferns this
season. R. B. M.-

"By the old method of watering, it
required a boy every day to wet these

At the end of four months, it

"There was purchased 76 feet of

BXTFFALO.
Tlie Market.
The highest point of the flower scar-
city has passed, although flowers are by
no means plentiful, with the exception
of jonquils. The supply is increasing
slowly but steadily.
Beauties are on the scarce side and
they are not of the best quality. Other
roses are not much more abundant than
two weeks ago. All kinds clear daily
at good prices. Carnations, are coming
in more heavily than for a long time
and seem to put more life in the market.
These, in all colors, sold exceptionally
well on McKinley's day. Jonquils are
becoming plentiful, but they are bring-
ing $4 per hundred.
Daffodils have made their appearance
and there is a great demand for them.
Freesias, Bomans and sweet peas are
selling nicely. The latter are rather
scarce, but increasing steadily. Violets
continue to sell well.. Paper Whites are
few, but tulips in white and yellow are
suflScient for the call. Cattleyas and
gardenias are not so plentiful as those
of two weeks previous. There is not
an oversupply of greens.
Various Notes.
David Scott, of Corfu, is cutting a
vast quantity of jonquils daily. His
sweet peas are of topnotch quality.
Euby Marks, who has been ill for the
last four weeks, has returned to work.
W. J. Peake had more than his share
of funeral work last week.
Walter Stroh and Tracy Dickinson, of
Batavia, called on the trade last week.
L, Newdorfer, of Charles Zinn & Co.,
New York, also was a business caller
last week.
Charles Hewson, on the Abbott road,
is picking high-grade orchid sweet peas.
A. E.
Grand Island, Neb.— M. Sage, for-
merly foreman of the Shenandoah
Greenhouses, of Shenandoah, la., now is
employed by Williams, the Florist, in a
similar capacity.
Morris, Dl.— The Morris Floral Co.
recently had a narrow escape from se-
vere loss by flood. Some of the sweet
peas were destroyed, but other stock
was saved, largely because of help ren-
dered by neighbors.

They are oomplet* in tlieinselvaa, for they have two layers of glass enclosing an
air space that is a better protection than mats and shutters, and does away with buying

^THE"
RISKS AND REWARDS
IN RAISING NEW ROSES
Among the chief fascinations of. hybridizing are its mysteries and uncer-
tainties. The hybridizers are ever seeking success hy seeking fuller ac-
quaintance with Dame Nature, the chief of hybridizers, but the lady shuns
familiarity. Occasionally, however, when such a free favor is least expected,
she coquettishly presents to some astonished florist a fine new rose — a sport.
tR
OSES originate in two
definite ways, either
through the reproductive
organs or by bud varia-
tion— the adventitious
bud, as the scientist puts
it. We florists speak of
bud variations as sports.
These bud sports, when
they become fixed in their
character, are really the creation of a
new rose, especially in color, and often
the growth also varies, sometimes show-
ing more vigor and greater strength
than in the parent, but often a lessened
degrefe of vitality. It is a strange per-
formance of nature, to say the least.
Climbing Sports.
Sometimes these adventitious buds
produce really remarkable scandent
growths, taking the character of a real
climber. I think it safe to state that
every variety of rose
that has had extensive
propagation has devel-
oped this trait. These
climbing growths can be
fixed, so that they retain
their newly formed
character. These climb-
ing variations refuse,
however, to bloom con-
tinuously, like their par-
ents, but give forth
their flowers annually,
with intermittent bloom
at intervals through the
growing season.
As illustrations we
have Climbing Killarney,
Kaiserin, Meteor and a
host of others which are
catalogued by the trade.
Among the last to take
on this form of sporting
is the variety Ophelia,
as reported by Chas. L.
Baum, of Knoxville.
These climbing varia-
tions are certainly of
great value in the way
of furnishing varieties
for porch, pillar and
veranda decoration and
in the way of giving
valuable varieties for
screen purposes, pillar
roses and porch adorn-
ment. I distinctly re-
member a climbing

large portion of a two-story veranda.
A Baffling Mystery.
It would seem that nature, while un-
willing to reveal her secret in this par-
ticular, evidently works along fixed
laws, for when one of these bud va-
riations- appears in one place, it comes
forth in like character in one or more
places. The variety Caroline Testout
developed this trait at Lyon, France,
and at Berkeley, Cal., some 7,000 miles
apart, at practically the same time.
Some of our superior forcing varieties,
those extensively used for flower pro-
duction, are the product of varieties
that have sent forth these adventitious
buds. For instance, Catherine Mermet
gave us Bridesmaid and The Bride, and
New Rose Mme. Marcel Delanney.
(Awarded the Odd Medal in the Bagatelle Garden Trials in Paris.)
how well and faithfully they served the
growers of roses for a quarter of a cen-
tury! Then we have the Killarney
family — White Killarney, Killarney
Brilliant, Killarney Queen, Double
White Killarney, Red Killarney; this
variety has been specially prolific in its
color variations and has proved a valu-
able asset to the rose growing frater-
nity. I mention Catherine Mermet and
Killarney as prominent in adding great
value t^o the market florist. How we
are to explain this phenomenon is past
comprehension, except that it is accord-
ing to the divine plan of the Creator.
Limits of Man's Knowledge.
Of the fact of evolution we are cer-
tain; of the workings of natural selec-
tion we have no doubt. But with re-
gard to the nature of the variations,
what causes them and when to expect
their appearance, we at this date know
practically nothing.
The writer has often
wondered whether the
orchardists and the nut
and fruit men have not
overlooked these bud
variations, to t h e i jr
great loss. If, when a
superior apple has ap-
peared, or any other
fruit differing from the
normal, it has ever been
propagated and an ef-
fort made to fix it, the
writer has never heard
of such an attempt.
On this particular
phase of our work, let
every florist keep a
keen lookout, for there
is no telling what good
fortune may come to
you. Killarney Brilliant

plants. It is established beyond ques-
tion that sex exists in the vegetable
as well as in the animal creation, and
if we would improve the rose, this is
the right line to work upon. Practical
experience is the only teacher. Scru-
tiny, observation and application are
the three forces that win. The late
Mr. Carmen, editor of the Kural New
Yorker, made this statement before the
S. A. F. years ago — that roses and all
plants have their predisposition at cer-
tain times more than others to assume
the sex relation; in other words, they
fall in love just as the members of the
animal creation do.
The Hybridizer's Methods.
The modus operandi is simple so far
as the mechanical act is concerned. The
the work of the hybridist. Let the
imagination have play; in other words,
conjure up in your mind the kinds and
qualities you wish combined in the. va-
riety you wish produced; then select
the parents carefully and await re-
sults. Time, patience — unlimited pa-
tience— is the one great requisite.
Someone has said that out of 1,500 ger-
minated rose seedlings, if you get one
that towers above existing varieties, it
is all that can be reasonably expected.
It might be that through accident, or
what is called luck, you might get the
coveted prize with a less number.
Saving and Sowing the Seed.
The care of the plants after fertili-
zation is all-important. Too free use
of water will cause the hips to rot and
E. q. HHl.
stamen, the pollen-bearing anther, must
be removed, else there is danger of
self-pollenization. The pistil, the seed-
bearing organ, is composed of the ovary
and stigma, and upon this the pollen
must be placed. This is best done by
a camel 's-hair brush. Care should be
taken to protect from insect interfer-
ence if definite results are to be had.
Spring is suggested as the most op-
portune time for the work of the
hybridist with roses. Select with care
the roses you wish for your mother
plants, and it would be well to have
these grown in pots, for convenience
and after care.
Idealism plays an important part in
damp off. Air must be allowed to cir-
culate freely among the bushes; no
coddling or impure atmosphere must
be allowed, else the work done thus
far will be lost. If, say, your fertiliza-
tion is done in April, it will take until
the end of November for the seed to
ripen. One essential matter is that
the seed must be thoroughly ripe and
hard; unripened seed will not germi-
nate. Sowing the seed as soon as gath-
ered is practiced by many, and I think
this is perhaps the wise thing to do.
Some file the seed on one side, taking
fare not to injure the germ; this facili-
tates germination. Seed may be sown
in any ordinary good loam, with drain-
age in the pots or boxes used. Great
care is needed in watering and nursing,
else the little seedlings may suffer from
damp.
We potted off in April last about
2,200 seedlings, all from carefully
thought-out crosses, and these, when
planted, occupied 500 feet of bench
room. With a few exceptions, they
flowered, and the result is quite grati-
fying, prospectively at least. The last
year's work has been more carefully
and scientifically performed — this as a
result of fifteen years' experience.
Mendel's theory has been of great as-
sistance and I would commend a care-
ful perusal of his work.
Some Famous Hybridizers.
You perhaps know that Pernet-
Ducher, of Lyon, has given us a ma-
jority of our finest and best roses; to
Mr. Pernet we are indebted for the
fine yellow coloring bred into our fa-
vorite forcing varieties, such as Sun-
burst, Mrs. Aaron Ward and others.
Antoine Eivoire is one of his varieties,
and the valuable Ophelia is a seedling
from this noted sort. The Dicksons, of
Newtownards, gave us the original
Killarney, together with other valuable
sorts. The Hugh Dickson firm, of Bel-
fast, has been awarded the $1,000 prize
by the Panama-Pacific jury. One of
the most studious of the European hy-
bridists is Samuel McGredy, of Porta-
down, Ireland. Some of his seedlings
under test at Eichmond give promise
of good things in roses in the near fu-
ture. The two Pauls, of England; the
Souperts, of Luxembourg, and Lambert,
of Germany, have made notable addi-
tions to our list of valuable roses.
Among our successful American rais-
ers of new roses may be mentioned
John Cook, of Baltimore; Walsh, of
Woods Hole, Mass.; Montgomery, of
the Waban Eose Conservatories, and
others. I shall miss my guess if we do
not produce in the near future roses
of such character as will put our Amer-
ican productions in the front rank.
The South 's Opportimity.
What we need in this country is va-
rieties of roses that will thrive and em-
bellish our gardens. The people in
Tennessee are particularly favored by
soil and climate for this particular line
of work. Let them get busy and lend
a helping hand, and see if they cannot
produce some new varieties that will
more perfectly embellish our gardens
and dooryards. They owe it to their
state and profession that they under-
take this work.
Some of the most promising introduc-
tions of late years are succeeding
finely in the southern climate. I was
particularly pleased with Mrs. Charles
Eussell and Ophelia as grown under
glass in the south; Hoosier Beauty and
Killarney are making good with most
growers who have given them a trial.
One thing must be borne in mind —
it costs time, patience and money to
produce new varieties of roses. You
cannot expect these to be forthcoming
unless you are willing to purchase of
these new varieties, thus encouraging
those who, I think, are deserving of
more hearty support than has been ac-
corded thus far.
The Demand for New Sorts.
When last at Lyon, France, I found
that the great silk manufacturers bent
Febbuaby 10, 1916.
The Florists' Review
13
every effort, skill and thought, looking
to the production of new colors, pat- ,
terns and shades in their silks. People
demand change and novelty every year
in their silks and ribbons, and the same
holds good with roses. The greater the
interest taken by you in new things,
the greater will be the money returns
to storemen and growers. Without ad-
vancement on these lines, we shall not
keep pace with other professions. Un-
less you encourage the hybridist by
purchasing his product, there will be
only a minimum of effort put forth to
give novelty and increased variety.
This to the writer seems fundamental,
if we would make good both financially
and professionally.
In conversing with one of the lead-
ing rose firms — they distribute hun-
dreds of thousands yearly — I asked:
"Why do you propagate these old and
inferior roses, like Marie Guillot,
Boupre and Coquette de Lyon, when
there are so many superior varieties in
the same line of color?" The answer
was: "The south demands them and
we have to grow them; we concede
they are inferior sorts. ' ' The trouble
is with the men who issue catalogues;
the nurserymen use the same old col-
1 ored lithographs; the catalogue men
use their old stereotyped cuts and de-
scriptive matter. This is unfair to the
amateur, who wishes the finest and
best for his garden, and is destructive
of the best interests of the hybridist,
and is certainly unbusinesslike from
every point of view.
There is opportunity in the southern
states to build up and establish great
rose growing establishments, like
tliose of the Pauls, Dicksons, Guillots
and others in Europe. The soil is suit-
able for the rose; climatic conditions
are favorable; why not embrace the
opportunity and give to the United
States some rose nurseries worthy the
name?
A NEW ROSE FROM HOLLAND.
The new seedling hybrid tea rose,
Mme. Marcel Delanney, a photograph
of which is reproduced on page 11 this
week, was originated by M. Leenders &
Co., Steil-Tegelen, Holland, and was in-
tended for dissemination in 1916. It is
described by the raisers as follows:
"A surpassingly beautiful novelty with
a peculiar color — pale pink or soft rose,
shaded with hydrangea pink; a nice,
delicately colored rose. The flowers are
large, full and fragrant, perfect in
form and borne on tall, rigid stalks.
The plant grows vigorously on short
stems and is quite floriferous. Is one of
the most distinct roses for massing, cut-
ting and forcing purposes. Was award-

PROPER LABELING OF PLANTS.
Please tell me what is considered the
IToper way to label pot plants in the
liench. I begin at the lower left-hand
I orner, placing the label in the first
J'ot. The label faces and reads to the
'ight. Is this correct? I have worked
lor several people and each has a dif-
I'erent way of labeling. H. B. B. — la.
An Arm Bouquet of that Good Old Rosct The Bride.
There are, as you state, several dif-
ferent ways of labeling plants in the
1»enches. Some growers in inserting,
'Or instance, a batch of cuttings, place
^ label where they commence. The
label faces the cuttings. Another label
is put in where the next variety starts,
and so on. Another, and, in my opin-
ion, a far better plan is to put the
first label in when one variety has
been inserted. Start all rows from
the back of the bench, so that, when
any one kind is all in, the plants will
all be behind and not in front of the
label. It is a fact that there is much
confusion on labeling, and, with differ-
ent men adopting different methods,
there is little wonder that names get
badly mixed. Whether the labels
should be written to read from the
left or the right is a matter of minor
importance to the proper placing of
the label. Personally, I prefer the left.
Opinions of others on this subject are
invited; it would be a great boon if one
system could be generally adopted.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.
Lincoln, Neb. — The property of the
Griswold Seed Co., bankrupt, valued by
appraisers at $114,000, was sold .Janu-
ary 29 by Referee Peterson for $23,900.
Frank P. Quick, of Lincoln, secured
the seed department, retail stock, fix-
tures, good will and book accounts and
the equity in the storage warehouse
for $7,500. The property involved in
this sale was appraised at $4.'5,000. The
Fifteenth street greenhouses, real and
personal property therein, and a retail
store went to Joseph K. Hiltner, of
Lincoln, for $13,500. H. A. Johns, a
Sioux City seedsman, purchased the
Normal greenhouses for $2,900.
San Francisco, CaL — Another tenta-
tive plan for the re-formation of the
financially embarrassed Luther Burbank
Co. has been proposed and submitted to
Mr. Burbank. It is that instead of
the company undertaking liquidation,
all of the business be turned over to
Mr. Burbank, whereby he would own
and control the company and its busi-
ness and take over all the unfilled or-
ders and the large quantities of seed
and nursery stock on hand. It is said,
however, that Mr. Burbank prefers to
leave the business affairs of the com-
pany to others.
Minneapolis, Minn. — The administra-
tor of the Minneapolis Floral Co., G. C.
Anderson, manager, is offering settle-
ment with creditors at 30 cents on the
dollar. The largest claim is that of
the landlord, who offers to scale it
sharply and renew the lease for a short
term in case the merchandise creditors
will accept the compromise. John
Monson, the proprietor of the business,
died some time ago. Mr. Anderson
was appointed miinager last spring. It
is stated the business was unprofitable
in 1915.

TANKAGE AS A FERTILIZER.
Would a fertilizer known as animal
tankage, containing nine per cent of
ammonia and twelve per cent of phos-
phoric acid, be good for feeding carna-
tions? If so, please state what quantity
should be used and how frequently it
can be used with safety. E. C. — Ont.
You should join the American Carna-
tion Society and get a copy of the an-
nual report, which will contain a dis-
cussion on fertilizers for carnations
which took place at the meeting in St.
Louis. It referred not only to tankage,
but also to many other fertilizers you
might want to know about.
Tankage can be used safely, in about
the same manner as sheep manure. We
prefer the latter, supplemented with
dried blood and bone meal. We have
tried both and have had the best results
from the sheep manure. We put on a
small handful to each row, halfway
.across a 5-foot bench. A safe rule to
go by, in applying fertilizers, is to
gauge it according to the amount of
sunshine. When the sunshine is abun-
dant, plant growth is rapid and the
plants take up food readily. But dur-
ing dark weather the growth is much
slower and less food is taken up in
proportion. Consequently, there is. dan-
ger of an excess of food accumulating,
if frequent applications are made.
Then, when the sun comes out and
growth is resumed, there is an excess of
available food and bad results follow.

MAY BE INJURED BY GAS.
I am sending you, under separate
cover, two of my White Perfection car-
nation plants, which are drying up
badly. I have about 5,000 of these, be-
sides 1,000 White Wonder and a few
White Enchantress, left over from old
stock of last summer, from which I am
taking cuttings. At the shed end, or
north end, of each bench I had sweet
peas. These were badly affected with
mildew before Christmas, but I finally
got rid of it. The sweet peas seemed
to improve after that, but dried up
suddenly about two weeks ago. This
was when I first noticed the trouble
with my carnations. The buds would
become about half open and then would
wither. Next I noticed that the buds
would show a little of the white petals
and the stigma would extend three-
fourths of an inch beyond the bud and
in a few days would wither. Now the
whole plant turns yellow, but does not
wither. All three varieties are going thft
same route in these three houses. About
eighty per cent of them are affected.
Those at the end of the house where
the sweet peas were are most affected
and the disease seems to diminish
toward the other end.
In my other three houses I have
Ward, Enchantress, Herald and White
Wonder. I have just started sweet
peas in these houses, but will throw
them out. None of this stock is af-
fected. Any remedy you can suggest
will be greatly appreciated. I shall
keep the plants cool, with plenty of
air. I shall syringe with water as
much as I dare, spray with nicotine
twice a week and give the ground a
coat of lime. E. E. S.— 111.
Your letter gives me the impression
that your stock is affected by gas, either
from your boilers or from gas mains,
which may be laid in the street along-
side your place. Ordinarily the gas
might not come into your houses, but
during the recent cold weather^ with
the ground frozen solidly, the gas would
seep along until it came to the open
ground inside your greenhouses and
would escape inside the houses instead
of coming up in the street. I would
not advise putting on the lime, unless
there are reasons not enumerated in
your letter. Give all the ventilation
possible and follow a moder^e course
of culture in other respects.
A. F. J. B.
you join the society and secure a copy
of the annual report, which will contain
the paper and the discussion which fol-
lowed. The address was printed in
The Review of January 27. When
propagating, select cuttings which are
free from these light spots. That is the
best remedy at hand now.
The light areas on the snapdragon
foliage are perhaps caused by a simUar
disease. Do not overwater or overfeed
them. When spring sets in, the disease
will probably disappear. A. F. J. B.
BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
Will you publish the recipe for Bor-
deaux mixture, which you frequently
recommend for use on carnations?
G. L. B.— Ky.
To make Bordeaux mixture, dissolve
one pound of sulphate of copper in
about half a gallon of warm water.
Dissolve one pound of lime in an equal
amount of cold water. When both are
dissolved, pour them into ten gallons
of water and stir thoroughly. It is
then ready to use. Spray it on with
a fine nozzle. A. F. J. B.
CARNATION YELLOWS.
Enclosed you will find some foliage

dragons. Please tell me what the dis-

SHUMAN'S WHITE ENCHANTRESS.
The illustration on this page shows a
house of White Enchantress at the Shu-
man Floral Co. establishment, near Ard-
more, Okla. The man in the picture is
William E. Roberts, Mr. Shuman's
grower, who says that he has had few
splits and that January 4 his White
Enchantress plants had averaged six
blooms each. The plants were housed
from the field July 15, 1915.
The carnation foliage submitted is af-
fected with the disease called carnation
yellows. This disease is being investi-
gated and we ought to learn a great
deal about it within the next few years.
There was an address and considerable
discussion on this subject at the St.
Louis convention of the American Car-
nation Society. I would suggest that
CARNATION PHILADELPHIA.
What is the trouble with the Phila-
delphia carnation? Is it worth plant-
ing? It bears a good flower, with a
fine color, and does not split, but I
have heard that it does not keep well.
I have a stock of good cuttings and
plants, but do not care to bother with
it if it does not keep well. At present
it is yielding well. I am having a great
deal of trouble with Dorothy Gordon,
on account of its splitting badly, and
if Philadelphia has no more faults than

it has shown so far on my place, I
greatly prefer it. A. M. C. — Ohio.
While Carnation Philadelphia Pink
has not fulfilled all the claims made for
it, it does possess some good qualities
and among them are fine color, non-
splitting, good size and stem. The most
serious objection we had against the
variety was the fact that it does not
keep well in warm weather. We knew
of this fault before we bought it and
handled our stock accordingly and with
good results. We simply kept the
blooming shoots topped away, until we
made sure it would not come into crop
until about December 1. We then let
it come in with a big crop, which was
taken off by March and it was then
thrown out to make room for young
stock. Handled in this manner, it paid
us well and gave satisfaction all
around.
There are many growers who con-
sider the variety well Worth while, es-
pecially for lihose who retail their own
stock. We do not consider it good
policy to discontinue a variety just be-
cause others are finding fault with it,
unless you are in the rooted cutting
business. All you can ask of a variety
is that it shall give you good results,
regardless of what it does for your
neighbor. We shall discontinue grow-
ing Philadelphia Pink, because Mrs.
Ward and Good Cheer are more to our
liking and the demand for the rooted
cuttings is better. A. F. J. B.
THE ROLF ZETLITZ HOUSES.
The accompanying illustrations are of
special interest in that they show two
houses of the Rolf Zetlitz range, at
Lima, O. The view in the rose house
gives a clear picture of Killarneys in
splendid shape. The other illustration
is of the carnation house, which was
planted to varieties introduced during
1914 and 1915. Mr. Zetlitz, who is re-
sponsible for the spick-and-span order
depicted in the illustrations, says he
has 15,000 carnation plants in this
house, with sweet peas on each of the
posts and occasionally in between.
THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.
A most cheering feature incident to
the preparations for the opening of the
National Flower Show at Philadelphia
March 25 is the great interest in the
undertaking shown by out-of-town flo-
rists. From the many communications
received by this office, it is quite evi-
dent that the show will attract men in
the trade from all over the country. At
the last National Flower Show, it will
l>o remembered, there was little cause
for complaint as to the out-of-town
patronage, but it looks as though the
I'hiladelphia show will eclipse all previ-
ous records as to this clement of the
attendance.
The final schedule of premiums will
ho issued soon after February 15, and
^ill be the most liberal schedule ever
published for a flower show in this
country, covering premiums amounting
to over $20,000. In the new schedule,
a large number of special prizes will
^Ppear. The committee is still solicit-
'II;,' offers of special prizes for the vari-
o'ls classes scheduled, in order to reduce
tl'o premium responsibility as much as
possible. Offers made now will be men-
tioned in the final schedule, with due
crodit to donors.
The trade exhiljition will be a most

View in the Caraation House of Rolf Zetlitz, at Lima, O.
important feature of the show and
without doubt will be the largest exhi-
bition of its kind ever staged in Amer-
ica. The big trade exhibition of the
1913 National Flower Show is already
eclipsed, the number of exhibitors and
the amount of space reserved beating
the 1913 record fully twenty-five per
cent. A list of those who have reserved
space recently was printed in The Ee-
view. Firms that have been prevented
from making reservations through lack
of space, which has been a serious ob-
stacle for many weeks, will be glad to
avail themselves of the large area of
additional space recently becoming
available for trade exhibits. This space
is at the rear of what formerly was
the stage, but is now a continuous part
of the main floor, reached by both cen-
ter and side aisles.
The retailers' section will be well
filled, as reservations already have been
made by John C. Gracey, John Kuhn,
Harry S. Betz, London Flower Shop and
Charles Grakelow.
Chairman F, Cowperthwaite, of the
committee on information, whose ad-
dress is 518 Market street, Philadelphia,
has mapped out several trips among the
florists' establishments in and around
Philadelphia for those who wish to visit
them, and his committee will be pre-
pared to lend every assistance in the
way of information which may be re-
quired.
Sectional societies desiring to have
booths will be accorded space on the bal-
cony floors. Arrangements are being
made for quarters for Miss Jarvis,
founder of Mothers' day.
The work of compiling the Official
Souvenir Program is well under way.
Chairman Therkildson, of the commit-
tee on publicity, has arranged to have
copies of the program on every dining,
buffet, club and parlor car arriving in
Philadelphia during the show.
March 28 has been decided on as the
(lay when the New York Florists' Club
with its guests will visit the show.
The club's committee is perfecting ar-
rangements for transportation and a
dinner en route. It is expected that

Election of officers.
March 8 will be spent in a tour of
inspection of greenhouses and visits to
other places of interest. All members
are cordially invited to attend the
meet;ing and also to make exhibits. All
novelties exhibited are judged accord-
ing to the national society's scale of
points, and any flower scoring eighty-
five points or more will be given a cer-
tificate of merit by the association.

THE NEW YORK SHOW.
The committee is gradually bringing
to completion the final schedule of pre-
miums to be awarded at the New York
International Flower Show April 5 to
12 and it ia expected that it will be
ready for distribution about March 1.
The committee on special premiums, F.
L. Atkins, chairman, is meeting with
considerable success in its efforts to
influence the donation of prizes and a
similar committee from the Horticul-
tural Society of New York, F, E. New-
bold, chairman, is doing like work in
its own field. The official souvenir pro-
gram, is in course of preparation.
Exhibition Manager Herrington is
making frequent trips among prospec-
tive exhibitors and his reports are quite
enthusiastic as to the support prom-
ised. It would seem that there need
be no apprehension that the show will
be anything but a huge success, much
superior to the show of last year. The
trade section,, too, promises to greatly
excel that of last year, the reservations
already made showing a considerable in-
crease in the number of exhibitors.
The committee has prepared a sticker
to be used on trade stationery and is
sending supplies of these stamps to all
who will use them.
Two of the great feature classes of
the show will be creditably filled, it is
pleasing to know. At least five entries
are promised for rose gardens and there
are to be three entries in the rock
garden class.
The work of obtaining local publicity
for the show has been placed in the
hands of the Korbel-Colwell organiza-
tion, which creditably gave the same
service last year.

TESTING CANNAS IN TENN^BSEE.
[The conclusion of an article begun in The
Review for February 3, 1916.] ,
The variety Meteor* has been a de-
cided disappointment to us. We had
never seen it till this year. We procured
it from the originator and from another
source as well, so that we could grow
a good stock of it. The cdlor is good,
but the flowers are too small for a mod-
ern canna, and with us and three of our
friends here it has not proved to be
any better a bloomer than a number of
others that have better individual flow-
ers. We consider that so far as the
south is concerned at least, this is a
much overrated canna.
Dragon, a 1915 novelty, seems to be
a marvel in growth and bloom. It has
produced twenty-eight shoots from a
single 3-inch plant, and every one has
had a 3-branched flower spike of fair-
sized, dark, ox-blood red blooms that
are the best of their color. Its only
fault is the fact that the spikes are not
held high enough above the foliage. Its
height is about five feet.
Hqnry George, with us, is almost a
duplicate of Dragon, except that it is
not so strong a grower or so rapid a
multiplier. It is only fair to say that
it was planted a month later than
Dragon and has had a poorer chance.
King Humbert needs no word further
than that it is still the best bronze-
leaved canna, though it has two rivals
that are certainly close competitors.
Wm. Saunders is perhaps as good in
every way as King Humbert and a more
constant bloomer. If planted far enough
from each other to make it impossible
to compare details closely, I doubt
whether any but the most expert grower
would be able to tell them apart.
New York has done better with us
this season than King Humbert. It
blooms freely and its flowers are fully
as large as Humbert, besides being a
more solid scarlet. The foliage is not
quite the same shade of bronze.
Pennsylvania has grown side by side
with Firebird. It has produced more
than double the number of blooms, the
individual flowers and the heads are
fully as large as those of Firebird and
the foliage is good. If we were asked
to take our choice of the two for the
everyday canna bed, we would certainly
select Pennsylvania.
Uncle Sam is another canna that has
not gained the popularity it deserves.
It cannot be beat for a large-flowered,
brilliant red, green-leaved canna, where
five feet is not too tall. The same
may be said of Indiana and Louisiana,
though both of these are orange rather
than scarlet.
There are a score of other red cannas
that have enough merit to warrant spe-
cial mention, if space would allow, but
the foregoing we have found to be the
best to date. Some may think there
are others that are better than those
mentioned and we confess that it has
been a hard question to settle just which
to leave out, but for our climate and
soil we feel that we are right.
Wanted — A First-class Yellow.
The man who desires to make a last-
ing name for himself by producing a
good canna should turn to yellows.
There is no really good yellow canna
in the sense that we mean when we
speak of a good red or even a good
pink.
Florence Vaughan can still be con-
sidered the one all-purpose yellow can-
na, though, as everyone knows, it is
not yellow but spotted, and there are
so many inferior sorts sold for it that
many never see the true variety. There
are several varieties of the same type
and color that are so similar that th^
could easily be passed off for F.
Vaughan. Elizabeth Hoss is as good
as any of these. It is slightly taller
than F. Vaughan.
Gustav Gumpper is the yellowest can-
na we have that has size, vigor, hardi-
ness and other good qualities. We place
this at the head of the list, at least of
those that are cheap enough to be uised.
Its one fault is that it is rather dwarf,
not over four and one-half feet high.
We shall grow this in quantities in the
future.
Febbuaey 10, 1916.
The Florists^ Review

Princeton, a novelty of 1915, is al-
most as good a shade of yellow as
Gumpper, and is much more vigorous
and has larger t flowers. It does not
sun-scald and it holds its flowers well
up into the light, above the foliage.
Watch this, fqr it promises to be a tpp-
notcher.
Jane Addams is as good a yellow
canna as has yet been produced. Its
price is all that will prevent its being
a leader at once. Yet it is not the
large, bright, clear yellow that is so
much desired in cannas, but as yet
never produced.
Juanita is a handsome, deep • pump-
kin yellow, the yellow that needs no
apology. The flowers are not so large
as some of the reds, but are hard to
beat. The foliage is neither green nor
bronze, but halfway between. This is
its one weakness.
Queen Helen is a good canna, perhaps
better than Florence Vaughan, but has
some of the weaknesses of its parent,
King Humbert. The flower is spotted,
but appears yellow at a little distance,
and it is a good variety, though far
from the ideal.
Richard Wallace is perhaps the best
yellow that is low in price and that mul-
tiplies rapidly. It is ideal in every
way except that it is too light in color.
It fades to almost cream. Still, at its
best it is a wonderfully good canna.
Dr. Nansen is of the same quality in
every way as R. Wallace, but is dwarf.
There is no better dwarf yellow canna.
Kate F. Deemer and Golden Gate are
much alike in color and shape, as well
as in height and freedom of bloom.
They class with the two or three best
yellow cannas that we have ever seen.
They are both light in color and fade
almost to light canary, but they bloom
so freely, and have such large heads of
perfectly shaped flowers of medium to
large size, that they will soon become
popular. Both increase rapidly, bloom
when small and keep at it every day till
frost. They are not identical, but simi-
lar, and we have not been able to de-
cide which is the better.
Some Variegated Flowers.
Sam Trelease Improved is one of
the best cannas that we have ever seen.
However, it is not yellow, but yellow
bordered with red. It is bound to be
one of the leaders soon.
Queen Charlotte, though known to
everyone, is mentioned here because it
is still the best dwarf bright red with
a good yellow border.
Allemania and Olympic are similar in
color, size and productiveness, though
Olympic is easily better than even the
improved variety of Allemania. Both
are beautiful and desirable, the best of
their color, scarlet dotted and edged
yellow, but this in most places is not a
popular color.
Greenback was produced by L. H.
Read, of Alabama. There is nothing
like it that we have ever seen. It does
not bloom, but is a decidedly strong
grower, making seven or eight feet, and
produces leaves that look for all the
world like the best leaves on a banana
tree and are as large. We measured- a
leaf last summer that had a blade thir-
ty inches broad, and over three feet
long before it began to narrow into the
petiole. For tropical eflfect there is no
plant that we have ever seen that has
so much to commend it. It is not so
tall as Canna musifolia and the leaves
Chrysantheinum Mllka, of the Early-floweriDg Type.
are green rather than bronze, but the
habit of growth is years ahead of any
other foliage canna.
Wyoming is the one good bronze-
leaved orange canna. It beats Humbert
or any of the other bronze-leaved can-
nas in everything save color. A cir-
cular bed containing 500 plants on the
grounds of one of our customers was
the most gorgeous bed of cannas that
we have ever seen. There is no canna
today that will produce more or larger
flowers or better foliage, though the
foliage has the habit of turning green
at times. Flovd Bralliar.
of the flood, said: "The high water cer-
tainly put us out of commission. Our
fires in the boiler house were ex-
tinguished by the water on the morning
of February 1, but by installing stoves
we have been able to keep the stock
from freezing. Our frame of pansies
and several hundred 2-year-old rose
bushes were inundated. The water, how-
ever, did not get to any of the stock in
the houses, and today, February 3, it is
retreating slowly. ' '
HIGH WATER AT MUBPHYSBOEO.
When the Big Muddy river of south-
ern Illinois could no longer accommo-
date the large quantity of water flow-
ing into it from its swollen tributaries,
the water rose rapidly and overflowed
its banks at Murphysboro, 111., where it
inundated the grounds of the Wisely
greenhouses, situated near that town.
The illustration herewith shows the
Wisely greenhouses during the period of
the flood. Claude Wisely, in speaking
CHRYSANTHEMUM MILKA.
Of the early flowering type of
chrysanthemums, which are now so
popular for outdoor use in the eastern
states, few are more attractive than is
Milka, the lovely snow-white flowers of
which, when grown in a natural way,
about twelve flowers to a plant, make
a plant that is the acme of artistic
grace. Outdoors Milka made a perfect
bush about two feet high, covered with

OATTLEYAS AFTER FLOWERING.
H^ long should cattleyas be rested
after flowering, and about how often
should they be watered when resting?
I have the following varieties: Trianse,
now in bloom; labiata, resting; Mossise,
Percivaliana, speciosissima and Schroe-
der89. Should they be repotted and
given new peat each year after flower-
ing? What kind of feed should be used
for cattleyas, if any? Do the leads that
have flowered this year ever flower
again, or is it only the new leads that
flower? Would it be advisable to cut
off the old leads that have lost the top
part of the leaf? I have a Vanda
CBBrulea that is starting to make a new
leaf. Will it need plenty of water from
now on? Would it be advisable to di-
vide large plants and make several
smaller plants? I have a plant of
Schroederse just showing bud. Will it
be possible to get thiS' in bloom for St.
Valentine's day? The night tempera-
ture is 70 to 72 degrees.
B. A. E.— 111.
Cattleyas after flowering like a mod-
erate rest, but the resting used to be
much overdone, with resultant injury to
the plants. Keep them drier for a
couple of months, until the new growths
are well started; then gradually water
more abundantly. Hybrid cattleyas do
far better if not rested at all, and such
species as you have need a short rest
only.' Water sufficiently so that there
is no fear of the bulbs shriveling. Pot-
ting is not always necessary each sea-
son. Occasionally it suffices to remove
some of the surface soil and add some
new compost, but if the plants are
starved or crowded, or have overhang-
ing roots, repot by all means during
the resting period. Be sure to pot cat-
tleyas firmly.
C. labiata should be repotted at once,
and Percivaliana and Trianae before the
end of March; the others named should
be potted somewhat later. Fern fiber is
the ideal compost for cattleyas; not the
sof J material, but that which is some-
what doarser and tougher, and through
which water passes freely. Keep the
plants tolerably dry after potting, until
new roots become active; then increase
the moisture at the roots.
Leads on cattleyas and Iselias which
have once flowered do not bloom again.
They must not be cut off, however, until
they show signs of decay. Some grow-
ers feed cattleyas; others do not. Per-
sonaU^i^' I have found that occasional
weak applications of cow manure dur-
ing the growing season are beneficial
to these and many other orchids, but
for cattleyas the doses must always
be weak and not of the strength
which calanthes, phaius, zygopetalums,
coelogynes, sobralias, etc., appreciate.
Cattleyas and other orchids are often
divided when they become unwieldy in
size. Moderate-sized plants in 6-inch or
7-inch pots give more blooms in propor-
tion to their size than larger specimens.
Do not try to force your Schroederse
in any such night temperature as 70 to
72 degrees, unless you want to ruin
them. They should have a temperature
of 55 to 60 degrees at night.
Vanda cserulea, if well rooted, will
need a fair supply of moisture. It likes
a light position, with full winter sun,
at the cool end of the cattleya house.
A temperature of 55 degrees at night
will suit it better than I'O degrees
higher. C. W.
HOUSE FOR MIXED ORCHIDS.
I should like to change my orchid
collection, consisting of cattleyas,
vandas, dendrobiums, odontoglossums,
Iselias, cypripediums and coelogynes,
from a house tweWe feet to the ridge
and seventeen feet wide to one twenty-
two feet to the ridge and thirty-four
feet wide; both houses are fifty feet
long. The larger house is three-quarter
span. I want to grow them with a gen-
eral collection of stove and greenhouse
plants, such as palms, ferns, anthu-
On the whole, the smaller or lower
house would be the better. Cattleyas
and Iselias would do well in the larger
house, provided they could have the
necessary air and proper light. Some
varieties, such as vandas, dendrobiums,
cypripediums, phalajnopsis, aerides, etc.,
would do well in a warm, moist house,
such as you would grow tropical foliage
plants in, except that dendrobes, when
their growths are completed, should be
moved to a cooler and drier house to
mature their pa^do-bulbs. Odonto-
glossums and coelogynes require a
fairly cool house, especially the former.
The various orchids you name cannot
all be grown successfully in one house.
You will get much better results by
keeping the different varieties in tem-
peratures as nearly suited to their con- ^
ditions as possible. C. W.
SPLIT EASTER LILIES.
Please tell me what makes Easter
lilies split. I also would like to know
why cold storage lilies have short
stems. I have never tried growing
cold storage lily bulbs until this year
and they have only made stems from
six to twelve inches long. Is the trouble
in the growing? S. M. — Kan.
Usually bulbs that are diseased
produce split flowers. The cause of
much disease is overwatering in the
early stages of growth and the start-
ing of the bulbs in too low a tempera-
ture. As a rule, lily bulbs have an
insufficient rest before being started.
Cold storage lilies never possess the
vigor of fresh bulbs. Give them a
warm and shaded location. The shade
will help to draw up the stems.

Easter Lilies.
Constant inquiries are coming in
about Easter lilies, and it is well to
rdmind readers that, while April 23 is
an unusually late date for Easter, it
is not a good policy to hold back their
plants in a cool house. L. longiflorum
giganteum, which is the Easter lily par'
excellence for pots, should have a good
heat from start to finish; otherwise
you will get a large proportion of
dwarf, stunted plants. If you can see
and count the buds on your plants
March 15, you are all right, if the
plants are then allowed 60 degrees at
night right along. If your plants show
buds earlier than this, do not run them
cooler. A far better plan is to let
them come along and hold tlxem cooler
and shaded when the first flowers have
opened. If you take lilies from a tem-
perature of 60 to 65 degrees and give
them, say, 20 degrees lower at one
swoop, do not be surprised if a large
part of the buds are destroyed. Lilies
will not stand such sudden changes.
Fuchsias.
For bedding out in shady positions
fuchsias are quite satisfactory. If you
have started up some old plants they
will soon give you a fine crop of suc-
culent cuttings, which will root easily.
If kept potted along, these will make
nice stock in 4-inch pots for May sales.
Fuchsias also make nice flowering
plants in 6-inch, 7-inch or 8-inch pots
for summer. Give them a cool, airy
and somewhat shaded house to grow
in. Of course, give them an abundant
water supply. There are some trailing
fuchsias which make grand basket and
piazza-box plants. These flower for
months if grown in a position where
they are fairly well protected from the
rays of the sun. Even if you have none
of the regular drooping fuchsias, any
of the ordinary varieties make fine

basket plants, as they have a natural
drooping tendency. Leave a hollowed
out space for water at the top of each
basket, as fuchsias are thirsty subjects
as well as active feeders.
Hydrangeas for Easter.
The new French hydrangeas are fine
for Easter, especially the pink and
white varieties. They force much more
easily than the old Otaksa. They are
somewhat more tender, however, and
if they are not treated carefully
mildew is liable to disfigure the foliage
and cripple them. Start them in a
temperature of 50 degrees. With a
late Easter, such as we shall have this
year, the plants should easily flower on
time in this temperature. Feed freely
when the flower heads show, discontinu-
ing this as the heads begin to show
color. From early started plants a
batch of cuttings should now be taken
and put in the propagating bench. Se-
lect shoots which are not flowering;
these are sometimes hard to find on
the French hydrangeas.
Miscellaneous Basket Plants.
Seeds of Maurandia Barclayana, both
the purple and white forms, should now
be sown; also seeds of Thunbergia
alata» Each of these makes an excel-
lent basket, vase or window-box plant.
(Lantanas are. not usiually grown in
baskets, but make splendid plants for
this purpose and, if only kept well fed
and watered, flower through the en-
tire summer. Linaria Cymbalaria, the
well known Kenilworth ivy, is another
valuable plant for hanging purposes, of
which a good stock should be worked
up. Glechoma variegata, the ground
ivy, can now be divided and potted.
These will grow fast in a carnation
temperature and can be propagated in
quantity before the spring sales start.
Variegated Vinca.
That indispensable basket plant,
Vinca variegata, is rarely overdone.
While some people may prefer the
green-leaved variety, the variegated
form has a large call. The larger and
stronger your plants are, the better
your customers will like them. Prob-
ably you have them standing along the
edges of the benches. They dry out
rapidly when the pots are matted with
roots; keep them well fed and watered.
A pinch of bone meal on the top of
each pot will soon be devoured by the
roots. Select some of the young shoots
starting from the base and put them
in the cutting bench. These soft cut-
tings will root easily now and, if
planted outdoors, will make nice stock
to pot up in the fall.
Double Cornflowers.
The fine cornfiowers seen in the mar-
kets at this season and earlier are pro-
duced from plants which, in many
••ases, were field-grown and lifted in
September. Others are started in flats
and potted oflP, but the finest I have
seen were from lifted plants. For a
spring crop, seeds sown now will flower
within ten weeks and continue to bloom
until hot weather. The prices are not
■'ligh when these flower, but if you have
i local call for them it would pay to
levote a portion of a bench to them.
Tf sown in rows, let the rows be twenty-
1 our inches apart, and if you want good
flowers thin them out to eight or nine
inches apart. These may look like
wide distances when the plants are

DID you ever visit Litchfield, down in Illinois? No! Then you have yet to

field and St. Louis. But perhaps you already know McPheron? He is every-
where! No gathering of florists anywhere within a night's ride but what near

how quickly the spaces will be filled.
A temperature of 48 to 50 degrees at
night suits cornflowers. The double
blue variety is the best seller.
Jerusalem Cherries.
Have you remembered to sow seeds
of Jerusalem cherries, the valuable
Christmas berried plants? If not, do so
without delay. Cuttings may also be
rooted and will give lower-headed
plants which will ripen their fruits ear-
lier, but they never make nice, bushy
plants like seedlings. Plant the seed-
lings out in May, pot them about the
last of August, when the berries are
all well set, keep them shaded and
sprayed until well established and you
will get plants which cannot fail to do
you credit.
Cinerarias.
The increasing power of the sun
makes it necessary to give cinerarias
some shade, or they will wilt badly. A
spraying on all bright days will also
help to keep the leaves fresh and
plump. Give all well rooted plants ap-
plications of liquid manure once a
week unlil the flowers start to open,
when it is best to discontinue it, as it
is liable to take some of the color away
from the flowers. A cool, airy house
is what cinerarias like; 40 to 45 de-
grees at night is better than 50 de-
grees. It would not be wise to try to
hold any of the large-flowered type for
Easter, owing to its late date, but the
stellata type, which flowers a little
later, can be held easily in a cold house.

SNAILS PERFORATE VIOLETS.
Today, when picking violets, I found
many blooms eaten or punctured with
small holes. What caused this? Those
standing upright were not so apt to be
in this condition as those near the
ground. Do you think fumigating with
tobacco papers would remedy this?
What do you think of pulverized pig
manure as a fertilizer for violets, mixed
with the soil in the fall? Would dried
blood used as a top-dressing during the
winter be desirable?
E. M. H.— N. Y.
Probably small shell snails are re-
sponsible. If you look closely and find
this to be the cause, give the soil a
dusting of fine air-slaked lime after
your flowers are picked. Let it lie for
a day and it should clear out the pests.
If they lodge in the crowns of the
plants, dust a little in those. The lime
will not harm the plants and can be
washed off clean with the hose. Fumi-
gation with tobacco papers would not
kill these or other leaf -eating pests. 1
have never tried pulverized pig manure
for violets. Perhaps some readers who
have done so can give us their opinion.
I do not think it would be equal to
either cow or sheep manure. Rotted
cow manure, if procurable, cannot be
beaten. Do not use dried blood on
violets as a top-dressing. I have seen
disastrous results on both violets and
sweet peas from its use. Sheep manure,
pulverized, scratched in, makes a good
top-dressing and probably pig manure
would be perfectly safe. Liquid cow
or sheep manure is excellent. C. W,

off the seedlings singly and discard
such as throw single flowers. These are
of little commercial value. The plants

BEGONIAS AND GLOXINIAS.
Please tell me how to grow tuberous-

seed. What length of time is required
to bring them into bloom?
H. H.— HI.
January and February are the best
months in the year for sowing begonia
and gloxinia seeds. Use pans, which
should be well drained. jLay some
moss or other coarse material over the
drainage. A compost consisting large-
ly of leaf-mold, with sand added,
makes the best medium in which to
start these seeds. Pass the soil for the
surfaces of the pans through a fine
screen; level and firm a little, then
water with a fine rose can before sow-
ing the seeds. The seeds are fine and
must be sown with great care, dis-
tributing them as evenly as possible.
Scatter a thin dusting of fine sand
over the seeds. Cover the pans with
squares of glass and cover with paper
to prevent drying out. Water care-
fully and gradually discard the glass
and paper coverings as the seedlings
appear. The seed must be sown in
a warm, close and moist house.
When large enough to handle, the
seedlings can be pricked off into flats
of light, sandy soil, and from these
they can be potted, using a little heav-
ier compost, with a little decayed ma-
nure added. Both begonias and
gloxinias will flower the same season.
The former require cooler treatment
and less shade than the latter. Each
succeeds well in a compost of fibrous
loam, leaf-mold, decayed manure and
sand, not too firmly pressed in the pots.

Officers for 1016: President, Daniel MacRorle,

ton, Tex.; secretary, John Young, 53 W. 28th
St., New York City; treasurer, W. F. Kastlng,

Texas, August 15 to 18, 1016.
Besults bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
C. L. Baum, Knoxville, Tenn., has a
climbing sport of Ophelia rose.
C. H. ToTTY jvill disseminate, in 1917,
Hugh Dickson's Irish rose that won the
thousand-dollar trpphy at the San Fran-
cisco exposition.
If the recent tour of the Presidential
party did nothing else, it boosted the sale
of orchids. The First Lady was photo-
graphed early and late, but never without
her corsage of cattleyas.
There is no lack of individuality
among florists; indeed, the florists' busi-
ness, in spite of its recent growth, still is
of such an individual character that the
conspicuous successes nearly all are built
on some one man's personal qualities.
For a red carnation, Baur & Stein-
kamp made a happy choice when they
selected Merry Christmas as the name of
their seedling to be disseminated in 1916.
Surely any variety will travel farther
with such a name than it would if chris-
tened Mrs. Mulcahey.
Whatever one does in the solitude of
his own workroom, in the presence of
others flowers should be handled at least
as carefully as we would expect one to
handle eggs. If we are seen to slam
stock around as though it had no value,
how can we expect others to think better
of it than we do?
The newspaper publicity for the Na-
tional Flower Show was begun January
30 in the Philadelphia Record, which used
a half page illustration. This was the
first big gun. Shots will be fired one by
one in each of the Philadelphia dailies
until about March 10, after which a
broadside will be let loose daily.
AGAIN, IT'S HARD TO BEAT.
The Review has remarked in the past
that in the florists' business, especially
the wholesale end of it, sales are ob-
tained at so little cost that it almost
is inconceivable to those accustomed to
selling costs in other lines. iLast week
the illustration of the point was the
experience of a plantsman cleaned out
of cyclamens, selling $1,000 worth at
an advertising cost of $4.20. This
week's illustration is an extract from
a letter from a dealer in evergreens:
We advertised three times in the Review and
one ad brought $2,900 worth of orders. It Is
the best paper 1 ever saw; we have been doing
a wonderful business and thank you for It. You
can use this If you want to. — Grant Presnell,
manager, John's Creek Evergreen Co., Cosby,
Tenn., February 2, 1916.
The results this advertiser speaks of
were obtained through the use of a
1-inch display advertisement. Again,
can you beat it?
When you hear a man complaining
of the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.
GOOD WORK AT CLEVELAND.
The florists of Cleveland long have
been known as a "live bunch," an ag-
gregation especially skilled in matters
of publicity. The flower business has
been better advertised in Cleveland the
last few years than in any other city in
the United States. And at no time
has better work been done there than
this season, when a committee from the
Florists' Club was given an appropria-
tion for the purchase of publicity. As
an example of its work, the front page
of the News the other day carried a
double column cut of two young ladies
admiring handsome bouquets. Under-
neath was this sane text:
The girls are Just crazy over the valentines
florists are preparing for Monday, February 14,
St. Valentine's day. Each of them is hoping
that she will receive one.
There is one creation composed of two hearts,
made of birchbark filled with llUes of the val-
ley, freeslas and tulips, with gold arrows tied
with pale pink ribbon.
Then, there is the heart-shaped bouquet of
sweet violets with a white lace handkerchief
to protect the hands and long loops of ribbon
to suspend it from the arm while dancing.
Long sprays may be used, instead of corsage
bouquets, to complete the effects of gowns.
The sunshine of the last few weeks has
brought out the posies rapidly, so flowers will
be reasonable in price and lovely in quality for
Valentine day.
Many florists are using the "Language of
Flowers" in selecting their flowers, so that any
sentiment desired by the purdiaser can l)e ob-
tained.
One thing the committee carefully
avoids is the destruction of news value,
as would be the case if it tried to get
the same stuff into several papers. The
editors are liberal when they know the
features are not duplicated.
THE WHITE MEDAL.
The George Robert White medal has
this year been bestowed by the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society on E. H.
Wilson, whose achievements as a plant
collector are known to everyone in the
horticultural world. The George Robert
White medal of honor was founded
by George Robert White, of Boston,
for the purpose of giving suitable
recognition to those who have accom-
plished important work in horticulture,
and the fund was vested in the Massa-
chusetts society to make the award an-
nually. While the medal is intended
principally to recognize work accom-
plished by a resident of the United
States, it may also be awarded to a
person, commercial firm or institution
of some other country, the result of
whose work in horticulture may be of
direct benefit to the interests of horti-
culture of the United States. The
medal is struck in 24-carat gold, is
two and three-fourths inches in diame-
ter, and weighs between seven and
eight ounces. The first award of the
medal was made to Prof. Sargent, di-
rector of the Arnold Arboretum, in
1911.
A RECORD.
While The Review is this season
carrying considerably more advertising
of all kinds than ever before, the in-
crease in Classified ads is particularly
striking. There are more than sixteen
full pages of these busy little liners in
this issue, all set in one kind of type
so that each advertiser gets an equal
show and all charged for at the same
rate; none run free as a bonus to those
who may thus be induced to order dis-
play space.
WHY CUT PRICES?
One of the tendencies of the trade,
the reason for which is not apparent,
is the steady reduction of prices. It
does not seem to be justified by con-
ditions.
Practically every article used in
greenhouses has advanced in price with-
in the year and this is a reason why
all florists should maintain prices, if
not advance them, while of course
striving to give the best of quality
and service.
There is no condition of oversupply
to force a fall in prices; indeed, it
looks as though the spring season will
see much the largest demand this trade
ever has enjoyed. It warrants the
maintenance of prices, if not an ad-
vance.
Probably reductions in prices at this
time find their cause in the undevel-
oped state of the selling end of the
business. Few florists are expert sales-
men; many have price as their only
selling argument; they know of no
reason why anyone should buy of them
except that the price is lower.
CHICAOO.
The Market.
Except for a little increase in the
supply of this item and a little decrease
in the other, there is little change in
Chicago market conditions from those
prevailing a week ago. To be sure,
the extreme cold of the last few days
has lessened the activity of the local
buyers, but shipping demand continues
strong. As a result of the floods in
the west and south, express companies
refused to take shipments to points be-
yond St. Louis on the Iron Mountain
railroad unless subject to delay. This
practically cut off trade in that quarter
for about three days.
There is still a small supply of Beau-
ties available, but the quality is not
up to standard. As for other roses,
the supply continues distressingly short.
Assurance, however, comes from sev-
eral large growers that with seasonable
weather, rose crops will come on rap-
idly. Long, fancy roses are selling at
much lower prices, quality considered,
than are asked for shorts.
Carnations are coming to the market
in larger numbers, but there is a differ-
ence. Of first-class stock there is none

too much. Of good stock there is a
fair supply. Of medium and splits
there is any quantity. Fully thirty
per cent of the carnations now reach-
ing the market are splits.
Bulbous stock of all kinds is plenti-
ful. Tulips, red, white, yellow and
variegated, are available in quantities.
Jonquils, too, are on the long side. Not
so, daffodils. These are still in short
supply. These items, however, have
not been moving in an altogether satis-
factory manner. They show a rather
marked tendency to drag. Paper
Whites still find a cordial reception at
the hands of the buyers. Romans are
leaning to the short side. The demand
for violets can be satisfied without diflB-
culty. Valley is again short of the
demand. Sweet peas are moving well,
but the supply is shortened as a result
of the trouble growers are having with
buds dropping. Freesia, too, clears
readily. As a consequence of the ex-
treme cold, eastern growers of cattleyas
are not shipping to the Chicago market
as heavily as they were, with the result
that cattleyas are decidedly scarce.
The shortage of Sprengeri and
plumosus continues. Other greens are
moving, but not fast enough to outrun
the supply. Many ferns require pick-
ing over and rebunching before the
buyers will accept them.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for St. Valentine's day and many
advance orders have been booked by
the wholesalers, assuring a good three
days at the end of this week.
January Business.
Now that January totals have been
figured up and consideration has been
possible, a somewhat curious state of
affairs is revealed. Some wholesalers
and growers had the best January on
record, but others are not willing to
be quoted on the subject. Scarcely
anyone handled so many flowers as in
January last year, but better prices
were received, so that in cases in which
the shrinkage in supply was not too
severe at least as good a total of sales
was obtained. The principal sufferers
from the short supply were wholesalers
who receive little stock of shipping
grade and who habitually buy on the

house had need for all it received.
The retailers nearly all report a ban-
ner business so far as volume is con-
cerned, but they, too, suffered from
the higher cost of stock, profits not in-
creasing in proportion to the increase
in sales.
Novelty Night at Club.
The Florists' Club has chosen the
Morrison hotel as permanent meeting
place, the former quarters at the
Bismarck being no longer available,
and the show of novelties will be open
there this afternoon, February 10, as
well as this evening, when the regular
club meeting will be held. The ban-
quet room on the third floor of the
Morrison is a fine place for the, show
and no doubt nearly everyone in the
trade will have a look in today or to-
night.
The Crown Prince of Crown Point.
A new 'Lord & Burnham steel frame
house 60x200 will be built at Crown
Point this summer to make space for
Alois Frey's Rainbow freesias for next
season. Twenty benches ninety-five
feet long will hold quite some freesias!
John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., sales agent for the cut blooms, and
A. Henderson, of Henderson & Co.,
selling the bulbs, were among those
who made visits to Mr. Frey last week
to look over the multicolored freesias
for which Mr. Henderson coined the
name Rainbow. They are a magnifi-
cent sight, whole benches of bright
blooms. Mr. Frey obtained the first
bulbs from a brother in Europe, but

he has spent seven years in cross fer-
tilizing and selecting the best colors,
largest flowers and strongest growers,
with the result that his greenhouses
present a sight not to be seen elsewhere
in the world.
He now has moderate quantities of
distinct, separate colors, besides many
hundreds of colors in mixture. Because
''DC cannot grow freesia bulbs com-
jnercially in a greenhouse, Mr. Frey
last September planted about 100,000
hulbs on a tract of leased land at
|j^o)itebello, Cal., where he has one of
hi'^ Crown Point men in charge.
Another fine sight at Crown Point is
l^ho Mrs. Ward carnations; one would
have to go far to find better. Nor is
^at^chless to be passed without com-
nieiit.
-Not only does Mrs. Frey supervise
'"(; housework and see that everyone
^ho comes under that hospitable roof
is well fed, but she is Mr. Frey's right-
hand man in the greenhouses.
When the Presidential party was in
town last week a fine bunch of . the
Eainbow freesias was sent to Mrs.
Wilson at the Blackstone hotel. A few
days later a letter of "warm appre-
ciation," written on White House sta-
tionery, came to the greenhouses.
Various Notes.
Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, calls
attention to the fact that the shipping
trade has again been the salvation of
the market during the zero weather.
The houses that depend on city trade
have had a decidedly quiet week. Feb-
ruary 6 is said to have seen fewer
buyers than have visited the market
any Sunday in four months.
Word was received last week that
the British authorities had granted safe
conduct for the importation of 3,000,-
000 valley pips, the property of H. N.
Bruns, now in storage at Eotterdam.
Finding his present space inadequate,
Elmer Sigwalt, of Arlington Heights,
111., a member of the Chicago Flower
Growers' Association, is planning the
erection of two additional houses to
be devoted to carnations.
So well has Carnation Alice acquitted
itself at the establishment of Wietor
Bros., in Rogers Park and at the store,
that all the cuttings are being rooted,
with the intention of planting several
times as much space with it next
season.
As an indication of what the com-
ing season has in store for the florists*
business, the John C. Moninger Co. re-
ports a list of forty-six greenhouse
contracts in its factory, all wanted for
immediate shipment. Among them is
one for Stephen Hyde, of Carthage,
Mo., for an all-steel greenhouse 84x500,

and another for Ludwig Stapp, of Kock
Island, 111., for three all-steel green-
houses, each 34x300. The Moninger
concern recently has added seven to its
force of office employees to cope with
the unusual volume of inquiries. R. E.
Kurowski was at Detroit last "v^eek.
A temporary store has been opened
by George Perdikas in the big vacant
building at the iiorthwest corner of
Wabash avenue aud Van Buren street.
John Kruchten comments interest-
ingly on split carnations. He says
that up to the last few days carnations
have not split so badly this season as
usual. Why?
Where most growers are cutting
down on Richmond, the variety has
been so profitable to Peter Reinberg
that still more space will be given it
next season. Alice will be added to
the list of carnations.
According to George Wienhoeber, St.
Valentine's is the most difficult holiday
of the year when it comes to meeting
the demand for appropriate novelties
in our line.
Notice came to E. C. Amling last
week that his new Packard twin six is
ready for delivery. He plans to drive
the Franklin till spring.
That the cold wave has been par-
ticularly costly to shippers of orchids
is the report of C. W. McKellar, who
saya valuable shipments from the east
have been frosted. He says orchids
are more susceptible to frost than are
roses or carnations, because of the
method of packing with air space in
the box.
It isn't everyone who is able to cele-
brate hig birthday in the same month
with those of Washington and Lincoln,
but H. B. Kennicott, of Kennicott Bros.
Co., can and did February 4, at which
time he arrived at the age of 30 years.
The lath house of the Poehlmann
Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111., is being
extended to the tracks of the St. Paul

tinues to grow. Young kentia palms
occupy five houses.
An optimistic tone is sounded by
the firm of Joseph Ziska & Sons, which
reports collections unusually good.
The Chicago agent for Carter's
Tested Seeds, A. L. Berry, has removed

the fact that a change of price has
been necessary on boxes, owing to in-
creased cost of production.
A range of glass 200x400 feet, being
erected by Bassett & Washburn at
Sierra Madre, Cal., is rapidly nearing
completion. A unique feature of this
range, so far as eastern and central
growers are concerned, is the fact that
above the glass is a shading of lath.
This is necessary because of the ex-
cessive heat of the sun. The place is
in charge of E. B. Washburn, who finds
working in the open so agreeable that
he is waxing heavy.
Seven of the oldest houses in the
Evanston range of George Weiland will
sing their swan song this year. They
will soon be filled with bedding plants;
then, later, they will be devoted exclu-
sively to chrysanthemum stock, and
when the mum season has passed they
"vvill be razed to make room for some-
thing new.
The new store of Henry M. Hirsch,
at 37 East Van Buren street, will be
''pened the last of this week. Although
the fixtures have not been installed,
Mr. Hirsch says he will be ready to
♦^atch his share of the St. Valentine's
'iay business.
Fourteen houses were to have been
•levoted to the new rose. Champ
Weiland, by its originators, Weiland &
Risch, of Evanston. But owing to the
heavy demand for stock plants the
number of houses they will actually
plant will be considerably less. Of
course they could retain more stock,
but John Risch says it is their desire
to make a universal distribution of the
rose rather than localize its production
by declining further orders.
A truly artistic window display for
St. Valentine's day is that of George
Wienhoeber, 41 South Wabash avenue.
In the center background is a heart of
red frieze, six feet in diameter. Sus-
pended from above are three large,
white cupids holding streamers that are
attached to the heart. A striking fea-
ture of the display is a number of
hearts on easels, each heart carrying
on its front a vase with a bouquet.
The color scheme was carried out with
various spring flowers. These novelties
were the product of the A. L. Randall
Co. factory.

The Market.
We have not had favorable growing
weather for a long time. Bulbous stock
is plentiful; tulips and Golden Spur
narcissi are of good quality and help
to offset the shortage somewhat. Daisies,
primulas, mignonette, lilac and sweet
peas are more plentiful than they have
been. Carnations are arriving in bet-
ter quantities; the last few days, how-
ever, have seen a somewhat decreased
supply. The wholesale houses survive
the trying times quite well, and a few
days of sunshine would put them in
good shape to take care of all orders.
Retailers have been fairly busy, but
decorative work has decreased. Funeral
trade, too, has fallen off.
Club Meeting.

It is the "bane of existence" for most florists
to collect promptly from their charge customers.
In most cases collections are away below nor-
mal, and, in some instances, because he fails
to know how to go about it.
This firm has had more than one million dol-

One-half of this business has been
charged on our books.
It has meant years of study for us to know
how to make this possible.

Because of the absence of President-

presided over the meeting. The mem-
bers gave a vote of thanks to President
McCallum for his efficient work during
his term of office.
A lecture on "The City Beautiful"
was given. It was the best and most
instructive lecture of its kind ever
given before the club. Lantern slides
were shown, giving comparisons of what

The demand has been unusually good
during the last two weeks. There have
been large decorations and a great many
corsage and wedding bouquet orders.
Funeral work was heavier during the
month of January than in any other
month of the season. There was no
great demand for carnations on McKin-

the florists did not advertise this day.

The Market. -
The week from February 3 to Feb-
ruary 9, inclusive, began with a dull
day and steadily improved afterwards.
Prices fell, then rose on most flowers.
The shipping demand was the strength
of the market; locally business was only
fair. Sweet peas have been coming in
freely. Some fine orchid or Spencer
varieties are offered; these choice flow-
ers in bright colors sell best. The finest
peas command $2 per hundred, or about
$1 less than the best January price.
There are few peas that bring this
price, the larger number selling at
$1.50 per hundred down to $1, 75 and
50 cents per hundred. Carnations are
in heavy supply at reasonable prices.
Daffodils are good, plentiful and cheap.
Tulips do not sell as of old. The bulk
of the stock offered is yellow and white;
when nice pink and double orange are
offered they find a market. Freesia goes
slowly at low prices. Valley is fully
equal to the demand, while gardenias
and even cattleyas are rather dull.
Easter lilies sell well, callas even bet-
ter. Fine snapdragon is excellent stock
and has been even during last week's
depression. Violets are cheap; they
seem to be neglected by many of the
best buyers. Roses have improved in
demand. The crop is fair rather than
heavy. Beauties are extremely scarce.
Carnation Night.
In addition to the exhibits enumer-
ated in last week's account of the Flo-
rists' Club's carnation meeting, held
February 1, there was a handsome vase
of Carnation Morning Glow from E.

The Midwinter Ball.
It has been apparent as the season
progresses that society is entertaining
extensively. This is a distinct contrast
to last season, when the entertainments
were few and their expenditure was
niuch curtailed. This contrast was
clearly seen in the midwinter ball that
took place in Horticultural hall on the
evening of February 4. The ball was
larger, much larger, than last year, and
the decorations were handsomer in pro-
portion. These decorations, arranged
"7 J. J. Habermehl's Sons, gave much
pleasure to those present. The colors
employed were chiefly yellow and white,
with great masses of delicate green to
set off the flowers, and innumerable elec-
tric lights to enhance the effect. The
most unusual flower that graced the
scene was Acacia pubescens, much
prized for its refined and graceful
beauty. The most striking flower was
the golden forsythia, so popular in our
spring shrubbery, boldly arranged in
large gilt baskets. Azaleas, daffodils
and tulips were freely used. The num-
ber of guests was estimated at 1,000.
For Valentines.
Through the courtesy of J. Max
Nitzschke it is possible to describe in
this column a pretty valentine specialty
at the moment it is hanging in his win-
dow at the Forrest Flower Shop. The
valentine consists of an old-fashioned,
gilt, French basket of moderate size.
From the top of the long, looplike han-
dle is suspended a tiny Cupid by a
bronze cord. On one side, also on the
handle, is a red heart pierced by an
arrow. The basket is filled with Sweet-
heart roses. Other baskets of similar
designs are filled with other flowers,
such as sweet peas. Ward roses, red
roses, daisies or forget-me-nots. It mat-
ters little so that the flowers harmonize
with the sentiment of the day. These
baskets and kindred creations are prov-
ing increasingly popular. They retail
at $1.50, $2 and $2.50 each.

WASHINGTON, D. C,
The Market.
The cold days of last week had a
tendency to curtail stock of all kinds.
There was a drop in receipts of nearly
fifty per cent on days when there was
much ice and sleet. As a result there
was a shortage of roses and carnations.
Carnations which had been down to $2
per hundred quickly doubled in value.
American Beauty roses still are scarce
and the prices remain at $7.50 to $9
per dozen. Valley is in fair supply,
with the price down to $4 per hundred
following the glut of the week previ-
ous. Orchid-flowering sweet peas are
much more plentiful and are to be
had in fine colors at $2 to $2.50. They
meet with a ready sale. Mignonette
still is in good demand at $4 to $6 per
hundred. The market during the latter
part of the week was flooded with
freesia and the price, which had been $5
per hundred, dropped to $2. Single vio-
lets still are in heavy supply. Orchids
are plentiful at $30 to $40 per hundred,
but there is a marked scarcity of gar-
denias, which remain at $3 per dozen.
There is hardly enough good snapdragon
to meet all calls.
Azaleas, white lilacs and other bloom-
ing plants helped to overcome the ill
effects produced by the shortage in the
cut flower market. The plants were
stripped of their blooms and used large-
ly in decorations. Cyclamens and be-
gonias are fine. It is possible to buy
good poinsettias, which were grown cool
and came in late. These are being used
in decorations and when placed in wall

to make arrangements for the trans-
portation of more than thirty and, al-
though a systematic canvass had not yet
been made, the probabilities are that
there will be more than 100 to go. Mr.
Lewis stated that a private train will
be run over the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road for the accommodation of the flo-
rists, their families and friends, if
enough applications can be obtained.
Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh,
Md., stated that the members of the
Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Balti-
more would join the Washingtonians
when the train reached Baltimore. An
invitation is extended to the florists of
the south to stop off in this city and
join the party.
On motion of William F. Gude, the
club placed itself on record as favoring
the inclusion of dahlias in the tests
made of flowers and plants in the gov-
ernment experiment gardens.

The Market.
Last week was unsatisfactory, the
volume of business lighter than expect-
ed, notwithstanding many banquets and
graduations. Apart from roses, there
was a decided fall in values. The lower
price for roses was caused by lack of
quality as much as by the lighter ship-
ments. The week furnished ^1 kinds of
weather, Saturday bringing rain, and
local trade with the retailers was light,
while the surplus of carnations and
bulbous stock filled the wholesalers' ice-
boxes and windows.
There are few good Beauties in the
market. Prices for the best are steady
at 60 cents and over. The lower grades
were hardly salable at the week end.
The warm spell got the blame. In other
roses the short-stemmed stock fell to as
low as $25 per thousand and a reduction
of twenty per cent was made on all the
specials and high grades, including the
novelties. Hadley, Prima Donna and
Ophelia lose none of their popularity.
The market has become surfeited
with carnations. The best of them do
not bring over $25 per thousand and
inferior stock fell at times last week to
as low as $10 per thousand. Valley is
selling from $3 per hundred for the
selected, but poor stock sells at $1 and
the street peddlers are offering it. Vio-
lets have sold at from 25 cents down,
the accumulations going to the sidewalk
merchants as low as $1 per thousand.
Longiflorums are down to $10 per
hundred for the selects. Orchids seem

We have had the "weeping" forger,
the ferger buying flowers for a dead
fellow-employee and other bogus check
operators with schemes more or less
antiquated, but it has remained for a
Columbus, O., denizen of the underworld
to devise a new method of swindling
florists — not of money, but of flowers.
This scheme was so simple and inno-
pent-like that the thief succeeded in
victimizing several Columbus florists be-
fore he was caught with the goods. The
fact that he was not after the florists'
money but the florists' flowers made it
all the easier. The man would come

H. J. SMITH, HINSDUE, UUt
ber of the Brotherhood of Eailroad
Trainmen buying flowers for the funeral
of a dead member. He would order a
$15 or $20 pillow and, as if on the spur
of the moment, he would ask for a large
bouquet of flowers to take with him to
the supposed house of death. Payment
for the entire order would be made at
the house to which the pillow was to
be delivered. The number given would
turn out to be fictitious. The thief took
the flowers with him in all cases but the
last, when he was recognized by a down-
town florist and arrested. He was fined
and sent to jail. It is not clear how
he disposed of the fiowers, but it is
clear that fiorists not only should be
wary of cashing checks without proper
identification but also be sure of new
cash-on-delivery customers.

BUFFALO.
The Market.
The supply of stock is larger than
at the last writing, but not sufficient
for present needs. The shipping busi-
ness is good. Boses are more plenti-
ful, but American Beauties at present
are somewhat scarce. Killarney, White
Killarney, Ophelia and Mock are the
most abundant. The color of Killarney
is much better now.
The supply of carnations has not in-
creased enough to make a decided dif-
ference, with the exception of red car-
nations, for which there is no demand.
Sweet peas are coming along nicely,
but the supply is not what it should
be. The majority of these are rather
short-stemmed. The orchid-flowering
variety prevails. Easter lilies, callas
and Paper Whites are scarce.
Jonquils and daffodils are the most
plentiful flowers on the market. The
Victoria jonquil is not as abundant as
Golden Spur. Daisies, both yellow and
white, freesias and myosotis are few.
Eoman hyacinths are quite plentiful.
Violets continue to sell well. Some
good singles are to be had just now.
Potted bulbous stock is becoming more
plentiful, with white and yellow tulips
in the lead. Greens are not overabun-
dant and it seems as if all the growers
are just cleaning their beds of greens.
Various Notes.
Tuesday evening, February 1, the
Buffalo Florists' Club held its annual
meeting for the nomination of its offi-
cers. The following were nominated:
President, Eobert Scott, L. H. Neubeck,
Emil Brucker; vice-president, WUliam
Grever, Mark Palmer, William Peaks;
financial secretary, Edward Stratmeyer,
Oliver Klingermeyer; treasurer, Wil-
liam Legge.
Recent visitors were William B,
Leipzig, of A. Leipzig, Inc., New York;
R. E. Blackshaw, of the A. L. Randall
Co., Chicago.
The Colonial Flower Shop is pro-
gressing successfully. There is a new
automobile for delivery purposes,
painted white with a lavender finish
that gives it a colonial effect.
Palmer's report a great business on
the dollar box which they feature Fri-
day and Saturday of each week.
L. H. Neubeck is delivering his par-
cels with a new delivery car. It is
painted a napier green. It was said
in a jesting manner, "You certainly
must be getting rich up there on the
comer." "Oh, no," was the reply,
"I am working hard for everything I
get, and anyone that wants anything
must work for it."
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Anderson are vis-
iting at Colorado Springs, Colo.
Leon Neubeck recently opened a
flower store on Connecticut street. The
trade wishes him all kinds of success.

FIRST REPORT
OF THE
National Floral Corporation
A STORY THAT WILL INTEREST EVERY RETAIL FLORIST
THE organization of the National Floral Corporation in
the early part of 1915 was received by the retail florists
with a mixture of enthusiasm, skepticism and cordiality.
It is fitting, therefore, that the National Floral Corporation,
having finished its first holiday season, should render some
report of its success or failure.
The National Floral Corporation has suffered from the fact
that there have been previous attempts to form cooperative
organizations among florists which were either weak finan-
cially, or carried on in bad faith. The National Floral Cor-
poration has been fortunate in that it immediately secured
the cooperation and assistance of such representative florists
as Blick the Florist, Norfolk, Va.; E. A. Butler & Son,
Niagara Falls, N. Y.; C. P. Mueller, Wichita, Kas.; North
Floral Co., Ft. Dodge, la.; The Flower Shop, Pittsfield, Mass.,
and others; so that its enlistment, although gradual, already
numbers more than seventy representative retail fiorists in
more than thirty States.
Among some well-known florists who have the welfare of
the trade at heart there has been a reluctance to join our
organization for fear of conflict with the Florists ' Telegraph
Delivery, which has operated so unselfishly for the benefit
of retail florists in the last few years. A reading of the
next few lines will show conclusively why this fear is un-
founded.
The National Floral Corporation in its first holiday season
has secured orders for delivery to florists from over one hun-
dred and twenty-five cities, among which are the following
places:
Petrograd, Russia; Alexandria, Egypt; Nice, France;
Madrid, Spain; Maracaibo, Venezuela; Madras, India;
Turin, Italy; Tientsin, China; Cavite, Manila, P. I.; Fort
Gibbon, Fairbanks, Ala.; Santiago, Havana, Cuba; Cris-
tobal, Canal Zone; Dawson, Cobalt, Canada; Ft. Ogle-
thorpe, Ga. ; Copperhill, Tenn. ; Grayson, Ky. ; Mindon,
Baton Rouge, La.; Ft. Bliss, El Paso, Donna, Athens, Ft.
Mcintosh, Mission, Texas; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Billings,
Mont.; San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Monte
Vista, El Toro, ^ong Beach, Cal. ; Duke, N. C; Bisbee,
Warren, Ariz.; Dodge City, Kas.; Springfield, Mo.; Para,
m.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Traer, Iowa; Rutland, Vt. ;
San Acacio, Ouray, Pueblo, Colo.; Miadison, Wis.; Key
West, Pensacola, Fla.; Columbus, N. M. ; Vancouver Bar-
racks, Wash., and Portland, Me.
Most of its orders were received from places in which there
is no representative of the F. T. D. There can be no doubt
that 95% of these orders were CREATED solely by the ad-
vertising methods of the National Floral Corporation and
that the orders delivered to its florists this season repre-
sented an actual increase in the field for retail florists during
1915.
A pleasant feature of its work during the past year has
been the enthusiastic approval from influential members of
the public who welcomed the National Florist idea and Na-
tional Florist service.
Though it cannot be said that our advertising for the past
season had the effectiveness which the experience of 1915
will enable us to put into our future advertising, yet we can
claim the remarkable record of having produced approximate-
ly as much business through our 1915 appropriation as the
total amount in fees received so far from National Florists
throughout the country,
A number of our National Florists have already received
more than enough business to pay for fees paid in, although
the contracts have been dated from October 1st, 1915, only,
and will not expire until October 1st, 1916.
The role of prophet is a dangerous one, but we venture to
predict that the coming years will show a considerable trans-
formation in the retail florists' business of America. We
do not underestimate the value of large orders and the profit
in selling American Beauties at $24 per dozen, but we pre-
dict that the substantial fortunes in retail flower selling in
America in the coming generation will be made, not on large
orders, but from the bountiful repetition of small and profita-
ble orders, a field which has been disdained rather than here-
tofore cultivated by the retail florist.
When the public learns that it can have delivered in San
Francisco, Toledo, Chicago, Denver, Jacksonville, Galveston,
Portland and New York a floral token at holiday time for
substantially a little more than a telegram, the Western
Union receipts may grow less, but the bank accounts of the
retail florists will profit in proportion.
Many of our National Florists are exceedingly enthusiastic,
not only from the cooperation they have received from us
and the advertising service which we have furnished them,
but also with the whole National Florist idea, and have
taken double pages of newspaper space in their local papers
to acquaint the public with the existence of this corporation.
Please note, only one National Florist is allowed in each
city, and National Florists have generally, in the absence
of other connections, preferred to transfer their orders to
National Florists in other cities.
It is a matter of regret that in cities of considerable im-
portance such as Trenton, N. J.; Birmingham, Ala.; Portland,
Me.; Columbia, S. C; Helena, Mont.; Savannah, Ga., and
many others, there is not a representative. If you knew
what we know of the floral trade, you would immediately
telegraph us, preferably mentioning a few references, to
serve your CITY for you as the National Florist.
The facts herein stated in regard to orders received by the
National Floral Corporation have been confirmed by the rep-
resentative of The Florists' Review.

The Market.
The cut flower market was in splendid
condition last week and the demand was
reported as being good. A few bright
days seemed to revive the transient
trade at the downtown retail stores.
Social affairs are creating considerable
work for the uptown florists. The south
end and north end florists report a good
run of funeral work, so it must be un-
derstood that business has been splen-
did.
In looking over the market daily last
week, I found the stock coming in of
good quality. Koses were not in over-
supply and they cleaned up daily at
fairly good prices. Killarneys, as usual,
were in the majority. Other varieties
might be classed as scarce at present.
Carnations are fine and the demand for
them has been quite heavy, but enough
come in so that some are left over for
afternoon calls; whites, especially, have
a large call. Violets have been in heavy
supply all the week at reduced prices
and the wholesalers are confident that
the supply will be large for St. Valen-
tine's day.
Bulbous stock again cleaned out nice-
ly. Narcissus Golden Spur is now in.
Tulips, valley, freesias, Paper Whites,
lilies and Romans are in large demand.
The few sweet peas coming in sell
quickly Fancy greens are scarce and
common ferns are up to $2.50 per thou-
sand.
Various Notes.

recent carnation meeting and exhibition
held a meeting at the W. C. Smith

All the members were present and the
affairs of the committee were closed for
a final report at this week's club meet-
ing.
Guy Eeburn and Joseph Pollworth, of
Chicago, and W. A. Manda, of South
Orange, N. J., spent last week here
calling on the trade.
W. J. Pilcher, who is growing roses
exclusively this season, says the local
retail trade has missed his Mazzura vio-
lets. The plants are out in the field
and he expects a great crop of them
in the spring. His rose grower, George
Schmidt, has been laid up with the
grip for two weeks.
The Florists' Club trustees have ar-
ranged for the club's entertainment and
dance for the members and their fami-
lies, to take place February 17 at Klee-
kamp's hall, 3119 South Grand avenue.
Everything is free.
A. Vandereem, gardener for the Sam-
uel C. Davis estate at Lilac Roost, Clay-
ton, and a member of the Florists' Club,
called to say good-bye last week. Mr.
Vandereem sails for Holland, his old
home, on a visit to his mother, but ex-
pects to be back in two months.
The officers of the Florists' Club held
their regular conference at the home
of Trustee Ohlweiler, 4116 Russell ave-
nue, February 1, and arranged for an
interesting program for this week's
meeting. After the meeting they were
entertained by the host and hostess.

meeting. A general discussion was held
on the new varieties of carnations seen
at the recent carnation exhibition.
Henry Ostertag, head of Ostertag
Bros., House of Flowers, says they have
had good business so far this year in
all lines, especially in the decorative
line.
February 2 was ground-hog day and
the sun shone brightly, so that the tra-
ditional visitor saw his shadow, which,
according to the old saying, means six
weeks more of winter weather, which is
not to the liking of the local green-
housemen.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Seeger, of the Mul-
lanphy Florists, are spending the win-
ter's end in Florida. They are expect-
ed back by the end of the month. Miss
Carlson and Julius Schaeffer are in
charge during their absence.
The visit last week of President and
Mrs. Wilson created a big demand for
flowers the few hours they spent here.
The Jefferson hotel was beautifully dec-
orated and used much choice stock.
John Nyflot, the North Florissant
avenue florist, who added considerable
glass last year, is stocked up with fine
bedding stock of all kinds. The two
big cemeteries opposite his place use
all his stock when the planting out sea-
son starts.
C. C. Sanders, head of the Sanders
Nursery Co., says his greenhouse range
in the county has produced a splendid
crop of cut stock this season in roses
and carnations. This company contem-

Count Andrew von Hoffman, manager
for George Waldbart's Grand avenue
establishment, says the many social af-
fairs of late have created a big demand
for orchid and valley corsages.
The Bourdet Floral Co. will in an-
other week or so have a big lot of
blooming bulbous plants. The men say
it will be hard to hold back lilies this
year for Easter.
J. J. Karins, representing Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, and William
P. Ward, representing the D. Hill Nur-
sery Co., Dundee, 111., were with us this
week. Both say that trade in their
lines has been exceptionally good.
The five wholesale houses have agreed
to open their establishments Sunday,
February 13, owing to St. Valentine's
day falling on Monday, February 14.
The retailers were overjoyed at the an-
nouncement. J. J. B.
PROVIDENCE.
The Market.
Unfavorable weather conditions have
caused a general shortage of good stock
and a stiffening of prices. Roses have
been especially short and high, the ap-
pearance of tulips, daffodils and freesias
being about the only saving feature.
The demand has been somewhat in-
creased by the large number of funerals
and social activities. Following a spell
of dark, gloomy weather came a few
days of warm sunshine that sent prices
down, and then came another spell of
clouds and snow that turned the tables
again.

The association is particularly anxious

The Market.
There is somewhat less congestion in
the cut flower market than a week ago.
Business is good, but the supply of
flowers outside of roses is much heav-
ier, and with milder weather and clear
skies the tendency of prices is down-
ward. Eoses are at present in an ex-
ceptionally strong position. A week
ago prices slumped badly, but a recov-
ery has taken place and as supplies
coming in are not large and the de-
mand good, they are making good
prices. Beauties are scarce and bring
almost Christmas prices. The supply
of Hadley, Eichmond and other red va-
rieties also is rather small. Ophelia,
Mock, Sunburst, Miller, Eussell and
Killarney Brilliant are all selling well.
February 5 all short-stemmed flowers
easily made $6 to $8 per hundred.
Carnations are less druggy than a
week ago and prices a trifle higher.
Matchless, Alice, Pink Delight, Benora
and Ward are a popular quintette.
Scarlets and crimsons are the hardest
colors to move. Violets are abundant
and are selling about the same as a
week ago. Bulbous stock increases in
quantity, but so far cleans up well. Ee-

dant and lower in price. There is a
large supply of mignonette, but pink
snapdragons are less abundant than a
year ago and sell well.
There is a heavy supply of sweet
peas. The old grandifloras are hard to
sell in competition with the Spencers.
Lily of the valley, yellow marguerites
and blue cornflowers all sell well.
There is an abundant supply of free-
sias, including small lots of the newer
colored hybrids.
There are few Trianse cattleyas seen,
but other orchid flowers are in good
supply. Gardenias are more abundant.
The demand for asparagus is somewhat
better.

Various Notes.
Mann Bros., of Randolph, who are
our largest bulb specialists, are now
sending in a wide variety of bulbous
flowers. These include Empress, Silver
Spur, double Von Sion, ornatus and
rugulosus narcissi; Prosperity, "White
Hawk, King of the Yellows, Thomas
Moore and La Reine tulips. They also
have large shipments of callas, free-
sias, giganteum and speciosum lilies
and snapdragons.
The Gardeners' and Florists' Club's
annual banquet at the New American
House, February 9, comes a day too
late to be reported in this issue of The
Review, but the advance sale of tickets
assures its being a pronounced success.

The presidents of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society and the whole-
sale flower markets will be among the
guests, and the floral decorations will
be as fine as ever.
Frank Edgar, of Waverley, has a
fine batch of Chautard and Radiance
hydrangeas nearly ready for the mar-
ket. He also has a large batch of
rambler roses which will soon be in
bloom. He grows giganteum lilies
largely for Easter, and finds that by
placing the bulbs a few weeks in cold
storage after being received the plants
grow faster and show a smaller per-
centage of disease. Last year he lost
less than 400 out of 9,000 bulbs.
Peirce Bros, are getting a good cut
of roses now while the supply is short.
Some of their best varieties are Prince
d'Arenberg, Crimson Queen, Ophelia,
Killarney Brilliant, Sunburst, AVard
and Mile. Cecile Brunner.
The new oflScers of the Boston Re-
tail Florists' Club are: President,
H. R. Comley; vice-president, Samuel
Wax; secretary, B. H. Green; treas-
urer, Julius H. Zinn. The club has
been in a state of suspended animation
for a long time and we hope the new
officers will regalvanize it into life.
J. H. Butterworth has a fine display
now of the beautiful Cymbidium in-
signe. He also has a fine variety of
other orchids in bloom, including cat-
tleyas, phalsenopsis, cypripediums, den-
drobiums, odontoglossums and Lselia
anceps.
The W. W. Edgar Co. has an excel-
lent lot of bulbous stock in pans now;
also genistas, French hydrangeas and
azaleas. The lilies for Easter are about
six inches in height.
H. H. Rogers, of South Sudbury, is

from William Sim, in addition to all his
violets, mignonette and pansies. They
also are handling all John McFarland'a

Penn's windows afe attractive this

orchids also are well featured. Busi-

William Spillsbury, one of our best
single violet specialists, usually has
15,000 plants. This season he has only
5,000, losing the difference during the
excessive rainfall last summer. He
grows superb flowers. Radishes occupy
his other houses, which he will soon
plant with 7,000 Comet tomatoes, now
in pots.

fine crop of ranunculi and Roman
anemones, which will be ready to cut
in a few days.

the grip.
The annual carnation night of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club will be
held February 15. There will be a
notable display of new and standard
varieties. Growers from a distance can
send novelties to Horticultural hall and
they will be well cared for. Messrs.
Peter Fisher, S. J. Goddard, M. A.
Patten, C. S. Strout, A. Eoper and other
specialists will be in attendance.
In Galvin's window displays Febru-
ary 7 I noticed some fine rhododen-
drons, acacias and camellias. Large
vases of forsythias also were effec-
tively used. Phalsenopsis Schilleriana
was in evidence.
N. A, Hudson, of Natick, is sending in
as fine quality yellow marguerites as
ever this season. D. F. Lamy handles
all his flowers.
R. P. Petersen, of Saxonville, has
pink snapdragons of exceptional qual-
ity for so early in the season.
Fred GL. Sly, of South Stoughton, is
doing well with double violets again,
and is growing snapdragons equally
well.
The Philadelphia flower show is at-
tracting increased attention here and
there will be a large attendance from
Boston there, including quite a few ex-
hibitors. W. N. C.
KNOXVILLE, TENN.
The Market.
The weather last week was fine; the
sun showed itself February 2 and shone
the remainder of the week.
The carnation crop now is at its best,
but roses are scarce and of inferior
quality. The supply of bulbous stock is
good and the quality probably was
never better. On account of the in-
ability of the eastern supply houses to
furnish pips, the last crop of cold stor-
age valley has been cut and it is hard
to tell jtist when we shall be able to
get more of it.

to Chicago, where he called on a num-

He stopped at Louisville, Ky., and be-

January mail orders, especially from
the south, make an excellent record
compared with last year.
According to the J. C.'Eobinson Seed
Co., Waterloo, Neb., nearly three-fourths
of the cucumber seed grown in the United
States now is produced in the Arkansas
valley in Colorado.
At Aurora, 111., a new concern is start-
ing in the mail order seed business under
the name Blair, Harper Seed Co. Ade-
quate quarters have been obtained and an
edition of 35,000 catalogues is going into
the mails for the first season.
The general magazines carry less seed
trade advertising this year than within the
memory of many men old in the business.
The seed trade's money now goes into
special publications, or into special gar-
den numbers of the more-or-less general
publications.
J. W. Alexander, of East Bridge-
water, Mass., who heretofore has confined
his attention to dahlias, will add seeds to
his catalogue for 1917. This is thought
to be for the purpose of affording appli-
cation for the energies of his son, J. Her-
bert Alexander.
The International Forwarding Co., Chi-
cago, has been informed by the State De-
partment, Washington, that the British
Foreign Office has granted its applica-
tion for a permit to bring from Hamburg
via Eotterdam 3,000,000 lily of the valley
pips belonging to H. N. Bruns.
Nearly a decade ago F. W. Brugger-
hof remarked that the ramifications of
the seed business had become so wide and
the sources of supply so varied that an-
other general seed shortage was extreme-
ly unlikely. Not even a war involving
most of Europe seems likely to bring
the accuracy of his observation into
question.
The spring planting number of the Il-
lustrated Sunday Magazine distributed
as a section in many of the Sunday morn-
ing papers January 30, carried an article
on sweet peas by George W. Kerr, of the
Burpee staff. Also, the House of Burpee
had the largest seed ad, a quarter page,
in the issue, and the new sweet pea. Fiery
Cross, was the subject of the cover illus-
tration. The magazine is said to have
over two million circulation and Mr.
Therkildson thinks the combination of
cover, article and ad makes the biggest

DEPENDABILITY
The greatest asset a business
can have is dependabihty. And
dependability means more than a
desire and willingness to do; it
means a strong organization of
men of ability to get there in
the face of difficulties; men who
are alert, cautious, studious and
have bulldog pertinacity. Bulbs
may be dependable as well —
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum are
dependable bulbs — you can be
sure they will give practical re-
sults— not only one year, but
every year. They are l)acked
by an organization of the depend-
able kind — very strong in every
way and with a determination
that cannot be downed. If you
are a florist and want good lily
bulbs, order Horseshoe Brand
Giganteum. They are sure to
be good. Prices upon applica-
tion.

seed house in this country.
The onion set situation remains try-
ing. Yellow and red have advanced to
$2.25 to $2.50 per bushel for immediate
delivery. Whites are almost out of the
market.
The wholesale seedsmen and growers
who cater to the canners' trade are hav-
ing a busy time at Louisville this week.
It is said to be the biggest gathering of
canners on record. There seems to be
more interest in sugar corn than in peas,
more interest in 1916 crops than in 1915.
The U. S. consul at Hamilton, Ber-
muda, who is in fairly close touch with
the trade, reports the successful trial of
onion seed supplied by an unnamed Los
Angeles concern, where heretofore Tene-
riflFe Bermuda onion seed has been used
exclusively on the island.
The British authorities have classed
heads of departments and seed experts
among "reserved occupations," exempt
from the call to arms. A deputation of
leading seedsmen made representations
to the board of trade that the mainten-
ance of the seed supply was essential to
the conservation of the food supply.
George W. Wright, president of the
Dunkirk Seed Co., of Dunkirk, N. Y., was
married January 30, his bride being Miss
Lillian Baumgartner, a school teacher of
Dunkirk. The Dunkirk Seed Co. was es-
tablished in 1860 by the late David S.
Wright, who conducted the business until
1888 and then sold it to his three sons,
George W.. David and Keuben. About
ten years ago George W. Wright pur-

Burpee -Quality Seeds Help
Solve the Market Problem
It is our pleasure to record a greatly improved market condi-
tion, and we confidently predict that 1916 will prove a most
prosperous season for the Market Grower.
Many causes contributed to the unsatisfactory vegetable
market of 1915, and it is also true that these same causes
created a most profitable market for Staples, such ets Wheat,
Corn, Oats, etc.
During 1915 we attended many meetings where market
growers gathered to formulate plans to overcome the then
prevailing unfavorable conditions. Much good resulted from
these conventions, as they have proved beyond question that
inferior produce in large quantities, dumped without thought
of quality or condition, heis done more to demoralize
the markets than any other factor.
The discussions at these meetings have brought the
invariable conclusion that Quality Produce did sell
— and sell well — at the highest price obtainable.
QueJity Produce can no more be the harvest of inferior seed
than high-bred cattle can be the product of inferior or diseeised
stock.
Burpee's Seeds are known the world over as the American
Standard of Excellence. When you buy Burpee's Seeds the ele-
ment of doubt is removed so far as is possible by human care.
A careful canvass of our Market Grower friends has brought
this answer: "Yes, we certainly grew first-class crops from
Burpee's Seeds."
TTie conclusion is inevitable: Burpee's Seeds grow Quality
Produce, and Quality Produce brought good prices. Burpee's
Seeds help solve the market problem.
Did you use Burpee's Seeds in 1915? If not, we earnestly
solicit your orders for 1916. The profit is mutual.
Burpee's Annual for 1916, our complete retail catalog of 182
pages, has already been mailed. If you have failed to receive

VICK'S ASTERS
A WORp ABOUT OUR SEED FARMS
The accompanylnflr pictures of Asters were taken on our Orchard Farm. Only a few years
ago our entire crop of Asters was grown on this farm. The demand has grown to such an ex-
tent that we shall cultivate, bext summer, 250 acres, 125 of which consists of Asters. Even
in our efforts to keep up with the demand, we are working still harder to get larger and better
varieties. During the summer and autumn months, particularly during August and September,
thousands of people visit our farms for the purpose of seeing the vast expanse of flowers, of
which we grow many other kinds besides Asters. Last year our field of Phlox Drummondii at-
tracted much attention. In fact, we grow more or less of a large number of varieties all the
way from Sweet Alyssum down the alphabetical list to Zinnias. At the time when the flowers
were at the height of bloom, about the middle of September, a careful estimate one Sunday
placed the number of visitors at more than seven thousand, and 1300 automobiles. Florists
and others are always welcome to visit our farms and to study the various varieties needed in
their trade.

VICK'S ROYAL
ASTER
A magnificent strain
of early Asters, every
color of which has been
introduced by us, the
first of which was Vick 's
Royal Purple, which for
a number of years has
been one of the best
selling colors. If sown
at the same time as
Queen of the Market,
it follows that variety
very closely. The plants
are of the Branching
type, and many florists
find that the use of
Vick's Eoyal in connec-
tion with Queen of the
Market makes a very
profitable arrangement.
We have several colors,
all of which are popular
florist's shades. They
are as follows: White,

and Eose.

The plants are like
those of the [Late

strong, with many long
branches. The flowers,
like all of the Comet
type, have petals that
are very long and nar-
row, and gracefully re-
curved, giving them a
lightness and grace that
makes them the most
artistic of all Asters.
The immense size of the
flowers — they are the

since has been sole owner.
The recently organized Idaho Seed
Growers' Association convened in annual
session at Caldwell, Idaho, January 26 to
28. Interesting papers and discussions
on seed production, grains and farming
were given by specialists in these lines.
The trade is experiencing great diffi-
culty in getting European flower seeds
and herbs. This is causing no end of
delay and inconvenience in getting out
orders, according to A. H. Smith, of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. J. C. Leon-
ard left February 4 to arrange the com-
pany's exhibit at the convention of the
National Canners' Association at Louis-
ville, Ky., February 7 to 11. S. F. Leon-
ard and others followed February 6.
CUCUMBERS IN MICHIQAN.
An inquiry relative to the acreage,
yield and total production of cucumbers
grown for pickling in Michigan haa
just been completed. This is the first
comprehensive survey of the cucumber
acreage in Michigan since the census
of 1909, when the total acreage under
cucumbers for the United States was
given at 32,310, and the acreage for the
state at 7,061. A statement in detail
follows :
Acreage in Michigan in 1915 34,260
Number of salting stations 306
Average acreage per saltlne station 112
Yield per acre in 1915, bushels 34.6
Average yield per acre during last five years 68.2
HOETICULTUBAL IMPORTS.
With the bulk of the horticultural
imports from Europe coming via Eot-
terdam this year, it is a matter of im-
portance that the service between Rot-
terdam and New York is extremely
erratic. There are long stretches be-
tween arrivals. Two steamers, the Rot-
terdam and the Noordam, arrived Janu-
ary 31 with these trade consignments,
according to the manifests filed at the
New York customhouse:
American Express Co., 3,753 bags seed; 9
cases bulbs.

TRADE CONDITIONS IN HOLLAND.
The following from a British trade
paper refers to the conditions in the
trade in Holland early in January:
"In looking backward at the end of
this, what we may justly call the ter-
rible year of 191,5, it cannot be denied
that after all bulb growers have done
much better than was at first an-
ticipated. Of course prices have been
low, and are at present considerably be-
low the cost of production, but the de-
mand and consequent trade have been
far better than last year, and in the
face of the unusual circumstances which
have cut off all cut flower trade between
the central and northern countries, bulb-
ous flowers are in much better demand

Sutton's Big Winning at San Francisco
Gold, Silver, Bronze Medals
Medal of Honor
DESPITE the admirable display of our
fellow British competitors, Sutton &
Sons was the only English concern to
receive Medals of Awards at the Panama-
Pacific Fair at San Francisco. The Medal of
Honor was awarded to us for the superior
merit of our entire display.
This of itself would have been a notable
triumph.
To add to it: Gold, Silver and Bronze
Medals is indeed a signal victory.
You will, we know, pardon this rather
pleasurable rubbing our hands in having
received such recognition from your keen
American Jury of Horticultural Experts.
Our Antirrhinums won the Gold Medal.
Of course, you will want some of them.
You will find them listed on pages 86 and 87
of our 190-page catalogue. If you haven't
one, send with your request 35 cents in
stamps, which amount will be promptly
refunded with your first order for $5.00.

"Gladiolus bulb trade has also been
rather a surprise, because last year's
trade was bad and no one expected any
improvement so long as war was raging,
but it appears that American stocks
have been cleared and consequently Hol-
land stocks have to be called out and
prices have gone up in consequence.

PHASES OF SEED CONTRACTS.
In a suit brought to recover damages
for claimed breach of a contract to
sell three cars of cotton seed, the ques-
tion was raised as to what quantity
must be regarded as having been within
the contemplation of the parties. In
other words, what exact quantity con-
stitutes a carload of seed? The Ala-

custom, but in the absence of any agree-
ment, or particular custom, it will ordi-
narily be held to mean the capacity of
a car usually utilized for transportation
of the particular kind of goods.
Another point decided in the same
case is that where a contract to sell
goods does not fix any specific time for
delivery, and the seller repudiates the
contract, the damages assessed against
him for breach of the agreement may
be computed as of the date when the
contract was broken. (Cottonseed

San Diego, Cal. — H. E. Sies has dis-
continued his business in East San ,
Diego.
Hillsboro, Ore. — Carl E. Muller, for-
merly of Portland, Ore., has started a
florists' business here.
Berkeley, Cal. — W. H. Wolters has
sold his business to his son, George W.,
and now is conducting a business under
the name of Berkeley Seed & Plant
Store.
Santa Cruz, Cal. — J. M. Fritz & Co.
expect their 1916 crop of freesia bulbs
to amount to 300,000, while the crop of
calla bulbs to be harvested this year
should total 100,000.
Oakland, Cal.— The McDonnell Floral
.Co. has prospered greatly during the
last few years. Mrs. Mary McDonnell
points out that the business has grown
from 2,000 square feet of glass to more
than 14,000 square feet. Carnations,
roses and asparagus are the principal
crops.
MR. WABD'S ACTIVITIES.
When C. W. Ward goes into a thing
he surrounds himself with capable as-
sistants and makes progress at a rate
that is astounding to those who are ac-
customed to rely more largely on their
individual efforts. Mr. Ward has been
absent from Eureka, Cal., since Septem-
ber, but, on returning, finds the devel-
opment of the business of the Cottage
Gardens Nurseries has progressed apace.
, In addition to nurseries and green-
I houses, a city retail flower store is be-
, ing established and soon the Cottage
, Gardens Nurseries of California will be
! as important a factor in the trade as
is the Cottage Gardens of Queens, L. I.
Mr. Ward considers the climate of
; Humboldt county as ideal from the
grower's point of view and the accom-
panying illustration, showing some
sweet peas at the Cottage Gardens Nurs-
eries, will bear out his contention.
These vines have grown nine feet in
the air and then have dropped a matter
of three feet, so that the growth shown
in the picture really is twelve feet or
more.
CYCLAMEN MITE.
I am sending, under separate cover,
a cyclamen which is atfected with some
sort of disease, as the leaves and flow-
ers are curled and shrunken. In shift-
ing these last August, I used soil com-
posed of two wheelbarrow loads of
sandy loam and two of leaf-mold, not
old but finely screened, with one S-inch
potful of fish meal and two 8-inch pot-
fuls of wood ashes. About three weeks
later the trouble commenced, so I
sprayed them with Black Leaf 40, and
two weeks ago I sprayed them once
more, but I do not think the spraying
has done any good. Any information
as to the cause of the trouble will be
appreciated. G. T. K. — Cal.
The plant forwarded was badly af-
fected with cyclamen mite. I do not
know of any remedy for this. Some
griowers think that dustings of tobacco
)M^^^^'>^..

dust and sprayings with nicotine have
somewhat helped their plants, but my
personal opinion is that no real rem-
edy has yet been discovered. I have
seen many fine batches ruined by this
pest and am sorry I cannot suggest
any remedy or hold out any hopes for
your plants. If they are all in as bad
a condition as the sample, you would
better throw them away; it will not
pay to carry, them along: Another sea-
son you may not have a trace of this
trouble. . . , C. W.

Although the sun shone brightly last

showing of cattleyas and valley. Fu-
neral work constitutes the bulk of the
business, but there is a good deal of
entertaining, which makes a spirited
demand for flowers of medium quality.
The shipping business still is difficult
on account of the tie-up in the rail-
roads, but it is becoming better every
day and soon will be normal.

not be seriously hindered by such a
small matter as several railroads being

was well received and he was accorded
a rising vote of thanks.
The monthly meeting of the Los
Angeles Nurserymen's Exchange was
held at the store of the Germain Seed
& Plant Co., February 2. Assessment
of nursery stock for taxation was the
principal subject of discussion. Parties
wishing to. communicate with the ex-

The partnership existing until re-
cently between L. Freeman and
C. Lewis, doing business under the firm
name of Freeman & Lewis, was dis-
solved by Mr. Lewis selling his inter-
est to Mr. Freeman, who will continue
the business. Mr. Lewis will probably
remain in the store until after Easter,
after which he is considering a trip
east. He has had a flattering otEer as
artistic director of a well known mov-
ing picture concern and is seriously
considering taking up this line of work.
Frank Lichtenberg reports numerous

Azalea mollis has proven to be a good

has been held up on account of rain,
but now it is being actively pushed.
The display of phalsenopsis at
Wright's Flower Shop last week was
magnificent. P. Schilleriana does re-
markably well with this concern, pro-
ducing immense branching panicles of
bloom that aye extremely useful for

his customers now will not take cat-

good sign.

Orleans ami after Mr. Ward's arrival
they will go on to the new i)lace
at Eureka. This concern is going
largely into the propagation and cul-
ture of rhododendrons, boxwoods, bay
trees and other stock now imported from
Belgium and Holland, the moist atmos-
phere and soil of Eureka being well
suited to this purpose. "
Mr. Davis, vegetable grower of Au-
rora, 111., was a visitor here last week
and made the rounds with Mr. Kivers,
one of our largest commission men.
O. H. Drew is on an eastern trip in
connection with the settlement of his
mother's estate.
The thermometer fell to 28 'degrees at
MonteVjello the night of January 30,
this being by far the coldest night we
have had this year. Verbenas and
heliotropes were touched a little by
frost and in the foothill towns
wigandias and musas , are disfigured
some. No damage to the citrus crop
is recorded. H. R. Richards.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
The storm at the close of January
whitened with snow all the hills around
San Francisco and Oakland, but fair
weather since has brightened the retail
trade considerably, and the approach
of Valentine 's day is bringing in many
orders for decorative work. Funeral
business continues active. Wholesale
business is greatly hampered by inter-
ruption of rail and, in some cases, wire
communication with many markets, but
there is hardly stock enough to fill all
the orders that could otherwise be han-
dled. Flowers are arriving in larger
quantities, but nearly everything still
is short of the demand and high in
price. New items last week were sev-
eral kinds of fruit blossoms, which gave
a pleasing variety in the stores, and
. some nice cinerarias.
Carnations now are in fair supply, but
with roses so scarce the price is stiffly
maintained. A few growers are get-
ting a good cut of roses; Russell is fine
and seems to be taking the lead just
now, while Sunburst and Cecile Brun-
ner are in strong demand. In fact,
there is such competition among buyers
that high prices are held for all vari-
eties, and even poor stock cleans up
quickly. Freesias are in good supply
and Chinese lilies and narcissi are some-
what easier, but still high. Enough
daffodils are in to make a fair showing,
but they still come slowly; warmer
weather is needed to bring them out
well. Offerings of forced tulips, hya-
cinths, etc., are light. There are plenty
of trashy violets, but it is hard to get
enough good stock ' to fill shipping or-
ders. A little more sunshine would
bring an abundance.
Valley is scarce as before, while
Easter lilies are more plentiful. Cut
cyclamen, primulas, heather and schi-
zanthus are considerably used. Gar-
denias continue scarce, while orchids
are almost too plentiful, only the finest
bringing satisfactory prices. Of the
oattleyas, Triana) is especially fine.
Heather plants and azaleas continue to
find a good sale and primulas are hold-
ing their own. Cyclamen and camellia
plants are less in evidence. Blooming
acacia, eucalyptus and pussy willow are
extensively used. Asparagus is scarce
and other greens, such as smilax and
cut adiantums, are in strong demand.

Varioxis Notes.
As not infrequently happens after the
first of the year, a number of changes
are taking place among the retailers,
a rather encouraging' feature being that
most of them are in the direction of ex-
pansions. The most important change
recently announced is the dissolution
of the partnership existing between F.
C. Jaeger and H. A. and .T, B. Avansino,
of the Fairmont Floral Co. The Avan-
sino brothers have retired and their in-
terest is taken over by the MacRorie-
McLaren Co. It is understood that the
premises at 141 Powell street are to be
considerably improved and additions
probably will be made to the store
force in the near future.
T. Mosco, formerly of Chicago, who
has been operating here as a street ven-
der for the last year or so, has decided
to get into the business on a more sub-
stantial basis, and has leased a small
store at 20 Geary street, near one of the
busiest Qorners in town. He is fitting
the place up in good shape and will be
ready for business before the end of the
month.
The Chic Flower Shop is ^ new estab-
lishment recently opened Opposite the
Alex Mann store on Clement avenue.
M. Poss, who was formerly associated
with Henry Maier, of the Hillsborough
Nursery Co., has taken over the H. G.
Hardy flower store at San Mateo, and
72

is fitting the store up in first-class style.
The Hardys have gonp to San Diego.
H. Plath put on a new motor truck
for The Ferneries' delivery service last
week.
Fred Johnson, who was formerly in
business with his brother at 490 Castro
street, has taken a position as second
designer at the B. M. Joseph store.
H. E. Easmussen, of the Seattle Land-
scape Engineering Co., Seattle, en route
to Florida, stopped off a few days in
San Francisco and visited some of his
friends.
Albert 0. Stein, of Sutter street, has
opened a new branch stand in the
Palace hotel. The stand is located in
a prominent position in the main lobby,
with plenty of counter space, and has
been fitted up with a handsome ease of
baskets and accessories, in addition to
a good displays of stock.
Marin county, north of the Golden
Gate, is preparing for a flower pageant
in May, and the committee in charge
has made arrangements to finance the
celebration in gooa style. In connec-
tion with the pageant, the florists, mar-
ket growers and amateurs are undertak-
ing to hold an indoor flower show at
San Rafael. A provisional committee
to look after the professional end of
the show consists of F. C. Burns, chair-
man; James Niven, Richard Lohrman,
Thomas Stentiford and Paul H. Eckel-
mann. The first meeting was held Feb-
ruary 3.
Martin Beukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer
& Co., Philadelphia, arrived in San
Francisco laat week, and has been get-
ting up at 4 a. m. to see the sun rise (f )
atd attend the flower market.
: :The hard weather of the last few
weeks has done more damage, even in
the favored bay region, than was be-
lieved at first. Many outdoor plants
that were not perfectly hardy, even in
sheltered locations, have been badly
frosted. One of the greatest items of
loss seems to have been asparagus, a
great deal of which, even under glass,
has been killed. A recent hail storm,
though it broke no glass worth men-
tioning, pelted down the violets in San
Mateo county so that the blooms, and
even the top leaves, were mashed to a
pulp, causing a short cut for a week or
80. Strong winds have blown down
many trees and found many loose panes
of glass in the greenhouses.
Charles Stappenbeck, of Polk street,
has for some time been getting in a lim-
ited quantity of fair sweet peas, grown
under glass by a grower in Alameda
county. They are a novelty here at
this season and find a ready sale.
J. A. Axell, of the E. W. McLellan
Co., reports the finest cut of roses the
company has ever had at this time
of year. Ophelia, he says, is great;
Russell is fine, and there are good Sun-
burst and baby roses. He says they
are shipping about all they can get
for the outside trade of roses, violets
and greens, especially smilaz.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Howell, of New
Monterey, have bought a lot on Light-
house avenue and are building a. flower
store.
The Cottage Gardens Nurseries, at
Eureka, have received a large shipment
of oriental shrubs and trees.

The Union Orchard & Nursery Co., of
Martinsville, Ind., has been incorporated
at $10,000 by Benjanrin F. Mason, Laura
L. Mason and Grace Mason.
' E. E. Whiting states that the Whiting
Nursery Co., Yankton, N. D., will go oiit
of the retail business, having found a
wholesale demand that is equal to its
facilities.
There is a splendid field for the nur-
sery that will specialize on supplying
shrubs and trees to florists, giving qual-
ity- steadily better than the average run.
In building a business in nursery stock,
the florist needs good stuff.
' €rEORGE W. HoLSiNGER, secretary of the
Western Association of Nurserymen, is
distributing printed copies of the pro-
ceedings of the twenty-sixth annual meet-
ing, held at Kansas City in December.
It is a closely printed volume of sixty
pages. The only thing lacking seems to
be an index and a list of the association 's
members.
NEW YORK NUBSERYMEN ELECT.
At the annual meeting of the New
York State Nurserymen's Association,
held January 27 at Kochester, N. Y.,
the following officers were elected for
the year: President, Edwin 8. Osborne,
of Rochester; vice-president. Maxwell
Sweet, of Dansville; secretary, William
L. Glenn, of Eochester; treasurer,
Horace Hooker, of Rochester. The
business transacted was not given out
for publication. Part of the discussion,
it was said, concerned the workmen 's
compensation bill.
WARRANTIES OF STOCK.
In a case recently passed upon by
the appellate division of the New York
Supreme court a buyer of nursery stock
sought to recover damages for breach
of a verbal warranty made by the sales-
man employed by the seller, concerning
certain peach trees. To defeat the claim,
the seller showed that the trees were
sold under a written contract which
contained a clause limiting his liability
in case the trees delivered proved un-
true to name and not the varieties or-
dered. The court held that it was nec-
essary for the buyer, in reply to this
defense, to show that the written order
was void and of no effect because his
signature was obtained thereto by mis-
representations of the salesman; to the
effect that the paper was a mere order
with no conditions included. The court
said:
"The buyer had the right to over-
come the effect of the written order by
showing it to have been obtained by

ered were of the varieties ordered. The
seller could avoid liability only by sat-
isfying the jury either that the sales-
man did not falsely represent the con-
tents of the written and printed order
which the buyer signed, or that the lat-
ter did, in fact, know the contents of
that order. As the seller accepted the
order and undertook to fill it, we think
that it- was bound by any representa-
tion by its agent as to the contents of
the order made to secure the buyer's

VAIilDITY OF EECEIVERSHIP.
Circumstances under which a court
will appoint a receiver for a nursery
on the verge of insolvency were con-
sidered by the Texas Court of Civil
Appeals in the recent case of the Hart-
Parr Co. versus the Alvin-Japanese
Nursery Co. (179 Southwestern Ee-
porter 697).
The Hart-Parr Co., the plaintiff,
brought suit on a debt due from the
defendant, whereupon other creditors
joined the defendant in applying for
the appointment of a receiver to take
charge of the defendant's affairs. The
application having been granted, the
plaintiff appealed, urging that it is the

a profitable basis, and that therefore
the court was not authorized to make
the appointment. Overruling this
claim, the court said:
"The pleading and proof do not sup-
port the propositions. This suit was
not filed by the corporation and the
facts show no more than that the man-
agers of the corporation, realizing that
if the creditors were to foreclose and
collect their debts by forced public sale
it would result in insolvency, frankly
told the creditors the facts as they
existed. This is not suf&cient to con-
stitute collusion for the purpose of cov-
ering up the debts of the corporation.
* ' There is an allegation in the peti-
tion that by means of a receivership
the assets of the defendant may be
conserved to the payment of all its
debts and leave something with which
the corporation could continue its busi-
ness, and that it would be a great bene-
fit for the community, where the corpo-
ration's principal place of business was
located, to have the defendant continue
its business, but these allegations were
no more than matters of inducement in
urging the appointment, and in no wise
show that the creditors were in any
way attempting to cover up anything
or to delay the collection of the debts
of others. It is true the appointment
of a receiver might result in such de-
lay, but because such might be the re-
sult would be no reason to set aside
the appointment, where the pleadings
and proof show that the parties pray-
ing for the receivership are clearly en-
titled to it.
"The court still ie in charge of the
property through the receiver, and if
at any time it shall be made to ap-
pear by motion in the trial court that
a receivership is not the best way to
administer the affairs of the corpora-
tion to the end that the best interests
of all concerned may be subserved, the
receiver, upon such showing, will be
discharged." S.

'INNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also
WINNER of the SAME MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 191(); First prize
at the Illinois State Fair, at Springfield, 111., September 22 and 23. It has never been beaten
at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 31^ inches.
Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal
in number to the Enchantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average
Carnation. It comes in full flower by the 1st of December and then continues steadily
through the balance of the season.
The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in the market. We have
grown this variety for five years, it being one of our own seedlings, and we now have
30,000 plants benched in our greenhouses at Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut
flowers and 18,000 devoted to rooted cuttings. Booted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000, We will bill 500
at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1600 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively
to rooted cuttings.

TOLEDO, O.
The Market.
With little sunshine and with a great
demand for cut flowers and funeral
work, this city finds itself in the grip
of one of the greatest flower famines
in ten years. Cut flowers of any kind
are rare these days and the retailer has
to beg each morning to receive one-half
of his usual supply.
Carnations and roses are good in
quality, but exceedingly short in quan-
tity. Jonquils and tulips have been on
the market now for about two weeks
and meet a favorable trade. Sweet
peas are too short-stemmed for excel-
lent usage, but the shortage of other
flowers makes the florist appreciate a
few hundreds when he can get them.
Narcissi, the flowers that completely
glutted the market in 1915, are welcome
this season and are selling at a good
price. In this vicinity about eight and
one-half hours of sunshine in seven
days has been recorded.
The florists are anticipating a heavy
and extraordinary rush for St. Valen-
tine's day, and preparations are being
made to handle the business efficiently.
Windows are handsomely trimmed with
Cupids and hearts, and dainty corsage
bouquets of valley, violets and roses
are being displayed. Folders and re-
minders are being mailed by progressive
florists and good results are looked for.
Various Notes.
Harry Heinl and Frank Schramm
have returned from a week's visit to
Chicago, where they inspected large
greenhouse ranges to obtain ideas for
building.
Emil Kuhnke sold his greenhouses in
East Toledo and left February 9 for
Florida. Mr. Kuhnke 's health was
somewhat impaired by long and active
service in his greenhouses, and a trip
south was recommended by his doctors.
Mr. Kuhnke intends to return to the
business in this city toward the end of
the year. | G. B. S.
Sterling, HI. — E. C. Swartley is plan-
ning to grow a considerable quantity of
outdoor stock for sale in the Chicago
market this season.
A visitor last week said, "I never saw such a crop of flowers in
my life."

The Market.
Business was fair last week. Stock
in general is more plentiful. Eoses,
however, still are scarce, but carna-
tions are becoming more plentiful.
Bulbous stock is arriving in larger
quantities and no doubt the shortage
soon will be relieved. Freesias, sweet
peas, valley and lilies are having a
good market. Orchids and violets have
been a trifle slow in sales. There is
quite a variety of pot plants available,
such as lilacs, azaleas, rhododendrons,
cyclamens, primulas, tulips, hyacinths
and jonquils. The indications point to
a big Valentine's day business, and
with a little sunny weather during the
week stock should become more plen-
tiful.
Various Notes.
Visitors last week were I. Rosnosky,
of the H. F. Michell Co., Philadelphia;
E. A. Marxson, with C. F. Meyer, New
"Vork; Joseph Riilker, of A. Rolker &
Sons, New York.
Baur & Steinkamp report a fine trade
in carnation cuttings. This firm has a
fine stock in this line on hand.
William Smith, with the A. Wie-
gand 's Sons Co., has a fine lot of young
cyclamens coming on. H. L. W.
SEDALIA, MO.
The Market.
The demand for cut flowers and pot
plants has been heavy and funeral
work has been plentiful. Roses are in
fine shape for Easter and carnations
are excellent. Spiraeas of good quality
are coming in, also jonquils and hya-
cinths. Freesias are about gone.
Spring bedding stock never looked bet-
ter and is here in abundance.
Various Notes.
Mrs. L. H. Archias and daughter,
Euth, are visiting the mother of Mrs.
Archias in Helena, Ark.
Thomas Evans, who for the last few
months has been employed by the State
Fair Floral Co., has gone to Michigan.

The Market.
Carnations are arriving in large num-
bers again, every retailer having all
he can sell, and for the first time since
the first of the year we have seen a
good lot of stock on hand at the close
of the week. "Wholesale business was
good last week; the prices were satis-
factory. Roses are on the increase, but
they still are on the short side. They
are of good quality, however. There
are violets in plenty, and peas are be-
coming more abundant. Moat of the
peas are Spencers, but we still see a
few of the old Christmas varieties. The
latter, of course, neither sell so well
nor bring so good prices as the Spencers.
There has been much funeral work dur-
ing the last week or two.
It has been either too cold or too wet
for much outdoor work, so the shrub-
bery men have had a rest. Propagat-
ing has begun in earnest, and everyone
seems to have his stock in good shape
for the Easter trade. There promises
to be a shortage of some of the best
selling flowers for Valentine's day. The
trade is making more preparation for
this day this season than ever before,
in the way of special box%9, etc., and
there will be plenty of space used in the
papers this year.
Various Notes.
The Hillcrest School Farm continues
to have promising seedling cannas in
bloom. Last week there was a yellow
that is deeper than most varieties now
in the market and almost as large as
Firebird, and a cardinal that is almost
the shade of Lobelia cardinalis.
The Joys are cutting several thou-
sand carnations every day. Their Kil-
larney Queen roses continue to attract
much attention. A large vase of these
was used to decorate one of the win-
dows last week.
Haury & Sons are cutting peas heav-
ily. They are running in a crop of let-
tuce where the mums grew, before the
space is needed for spring bedding
plants.
Mclntyre Bros, have the best peas I
have seen this year. Their roses are
somewhat off crop, excepting some ex-
cellent Ophelia and Hooaier Beauties.
Geny Bros, are having the largest cut
of California violets I have seen this
year. They are sending in some good
daffodils and their roses are especially
good. F. B.

Japanese Anemone C. L. HUTCHINSON Single Anemone MRS. CARRIE RYERSON
In this variety we have the ideal Anemone.
The color of the petals is a pure white and the
center a bright yellow, making a beautiful con-
trast. It is a good grower, splendid dark foli-
age, and. the best of all for pot work, needs no
support-
Japanese Anemone MARIE POOLE
Very distinct and beautiful flower, which is
very large, and the color is a combination of
bronzy salmon, flushed with pink: the high
center is bright orange yellow. One of the
oddest and most novel flowers ever introduced.
Good pot plant.

Creamy white; very good habit: needs no sup-

The Maxket.
The supply in the market is prac-
tically sufficient for present needs. The
demand is fair. The shipping business
is good. The rose market shows a
supply slightly larger than that of a
fortnight ago. It will be at least three
or four weeks before roses become
plentiful. American Beauties, how-
ever, are in good supply. Carnations
are plentiful. The receipts of lilies
can easily take care of all present
needs. The lilies are of excellent qual-
ity and fine valley may be had.
Enough bulbous stock is coming in to
satisfy present requirements. Violets,
orchids and sweet peas may be had in
quantities. Other offerings include
callas, marguerites and primroses.
Greens of all kinds are plentiful.
Various Notes.
C. E. Critchell has been fortunate in
getting in heavy cuts of valley, sweet
peas, violets and orchids for Valen-
tine's day.
Hardesty & Co., by means of a neat
sign, are suggesting to passersby to
send flower valentines February 14.
The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
during the last fortnight has been hav-
ing good cuts of valley and Easter
lilies. Both have found a fair market.
Among, recent visitors were Milton
Alexander, representing Lion & Co., of
New York; J. Landman, representing
the Basket Importing Co., of New
York; Warren Huckleberry, of North
Vernon, Ind.
Mrs. Augusta Hoffmeister and family
mourn the death of Mrs. Hoffmeister 's
youngest brother, which occurred Feb-
ruary 4. C. H. H.
EVANSVILLE, IND.
The Market.
The large number of weddings and
funerals last week caused a heavy de-
mand for flowers. Koses still are
scarce, but carnations are quite plenti-
ful. There is a good supply of other
cut flowers. Some fine, long-stemmed
sweet peas are on the ma^et. The
Ohio river has been at flood stage for
two months, delaying trains and mak-
ing it unsafe for shipments.
Various Notes.
Julius Niednagel & Sons have had
much funeral work and are cutting a
good batch of carnations and roses.
The Blackman Floral Co. has a large
cut of fine carnations. Business is good
and the store is making preparations
for a good Valentine trade.
Theodore Kuebler has sent out his
1916 price list of chrysanthemum cut-
tings. E. L. F.
Anderson, Ind. — Both J. S. Stuart

covered and are a,ble to be about.

^eenhoase Heating.
BOILER HAS AMPLE CAPACITY.
I have a small steam boiler, contain-
ing twenty-five 3-inch tubes, six feet
long. The shell is three feet in diam-
eter and the grate surface is two feet
ten inches by three feet four inches.
Is this boiler large enough . to heat a
greenhouse 20x75? Will you also give
instructions for the piping of the house?
I wish ,to maintain a temperature of
60 degrees in zero weather. The loca-
tion is a somewhat exposed one.
D. A. M.— Pa.
A steam boiler of the size described
would be rated at twelve horsepower
and would readily handle 800 to 900
square feet of radiation, while less than
400 square feet will be required to heat
a house 20x75 to 60 degrees. The prin-
cipal diflBculty is likely to come from
the night firing required to keep up
steam in zero weather. However, the
fact that there is reserve power in the
boiler will aid in maintaining steam.
If there is no glass in the sides of the
house, and if it is of fairly warm con-
struction and the roof glass is tight, we
would expect to keep up the tempera-
ture desired by using one 2%-inch over-
head main, carried to the farther end of
the house about three fee* below the
ridge, and eight 114-inch returns, either
in coils on the walls or partly under the
benches. The boiler should be set so
that the water level will be at least two
feet below the lowest part of the re-
turns, and three or four feet would be
better. If this can not be done, a steam
trap should be used. There should be
an automatic air vent at the lower end
of each coil. All pipes should have
a fall of about one inch to ten or fifteen
feet. The main return should be 1%-
inch, and 114-inch pipes should be used
to connect the coils with it.
INSTALLING A OENEBATOR.
In The Eeview of January 20 we
read an article entitled "Too Much
Night Firing, ' ' in which there was a
discussion of mercury generators. We
have a hot water system that will main-
tain a temperature of 55 degrees when
the outside temperature is 20 degrees
below zero, without being forced, but
the outdoor temperature here often
drops to 40 degrees below zero for a
night or two, and we find it difficult
to heat one of our greenhouses during
these cold spells. We have a Honey-
well generator, but the plumbers do not

The remarkable heatingr efficiency and qaick

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler

charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter.

Blight task. Large flues, making the boiler eaay to

We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke,

A generator maybe attached at any
point in the system, but for convenience
it is generally "cut in" on the pipe
leading to the expansion tank, if that
is connected with one of the returns
near the boiler. In that case, however,
I would put in a by-pass, so as to con-

in this by-pass, the direct connection
with the tank can be closed and the
generator will be in operation.

the generator. I would then, without
changing the expansion pipe, except to
put in a shut-oflf valve, connect the
generator with one of the returns, di-
rectly underneath the expansion tank,
and run the overflow from the genera-
tor up to the tank, connecting it at or .
near the bottom.
If a given temperature can be main-
tained with an open-tank system when
the outside temperature is 20 degrees
below zero, there should be no serious
difficulty in securing the same tempera-
ture by using a mercury generator
when it is 40 degrees below zero.
Many people have the mistaken idea
that a generator is so called because it
of ^ itself makes or generates heat, but
this is not the case. The generator
merely makes it possible to increase
the temperature of the water above the
normal boiling point and thus carry
more heat from the boiler through the
coils than would be possible with the
same size of pipe in an open-tank sys-
tem. To secure this heat, the boiler
should be as large as would be re-
quired to furnish the desired tempera-
ture with an open-tank system with
the same fuel and attention. It is pos-
sible that the boiler used by B. & C.
is too small.
A EESERVE HEATING SYSTEM.
Allow me to thank you for the an-
swer, in The Eeview of January 13,
to my inquiry with reference to ob-
taining a higher temperature in my
greenhouses. I stated that my present
piping would not maintain a tempera-
ture of more than 45 or 50 degrees in
zero weather, and that I wished to in-
crease this to 65 or 70 degrees. I also
asked ^whether one li4-inch flow and
four I-inch returns would be sufficient
for the extra radiation.
I notice that I did not fully explain
the situation. The four greenhouses,
each 23%x90, run east and west. The
first house to the south has three feet
of glass under the gutter; the balance
is solid wall. The gables, however, are
all glazed and exposed, to within three
feet of the ground. The lean-to,
eighteen feet wide, is up against a 2-
story building. The heating system
used is an open hot water system. 1
am contemplating the use of low-pres-
sure steam for the additional heating,
though I did not state so in my pre-
vious communication. The new piping
will be a separate heating system from
the water system now installed. I sim-
ply wish to install a few extra pipes
to be used in severe weather, so as to
raise the temperature from 45 or 50
degrees in zero weather to 65 or 70
degrees. E. F. G.— 111.
While one li/4-inch flow and four 1-
inch returns in the houses 23%x90
might raise the temperature from the
present point of 45 or 50 degrees to
65 or 70 degrees if the hot water plant
is crowded, we would prefer to put
in one 1%-inch flow and four li4-ineh
returns in each of the houses, except
the south house, with glass in the wall,
where we would rise five returns. In
the lean-to we would use one IVi-inch
flow and three li/4-inch or four 1-inch
returns.

The Market.
Business was reported as being some-
what slack last week. This does not
mean that business was slow, for it
averaged up well in comparison with
the corresponding week of other years.
There has not been so much decora-
tive work as usual, and because of the
high prices of cut flowers counter
trade has been less than usuaI. While
there has been much funeral work, the
E refit has been small because of the
igh prices. Bulbous stock, however,
is forcing the prices down, except in
the case of roses. Even the roses were
not so high as they were a few weeks
ago, despite the shortage last week.
Most of the growers are busy getting
their geraniums and other bedding
plants in shape for the spring sales.
Callas are coming into the market in
larger quantities and bulbous plants
are more plentiful and of better quality.
Various Notes.
Charles J. Connolly reports an un-
usually large business in funeral work.
Henry Hornecker found business good
during the latter part of January, but
there was a lull the first week of Feb-
ruary.
Ernest Radany is getting his bedding
plants in shape for the spring business.
As he is located near a cemetery, his
spring trade in bedding plants is large.
Davies & Davis, of East Orange, have
a fine lot of callas coming into crop.
The S. A. Rogers Nursery Co. reports
a good business in plants and flowers.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
Adgate & Son, of Warren, O., pre-
dict larger sales of plants during the
holidays and advance several plausible
reasons in support of their claim.
Many other retailers are of the same
opinion.
Heepe Bros., of Akron, O., ascribe the
increase in their business to mantain-
ing a bright display regardless of the
scarcity of stock. It conveys the im-
pression that the customer can always
be suited even if it is sometimes hard
to obtain the goods.
The Brown Floral Co., of Canton, O.,
finds its two stores often taxed to the
limit, keeping pace with the rapid de-
velopment of the city, so to speak.
C. Brown is nursing a heavy cold at
home and debating whether or not to
erect another greenhouse to square his
range.
Charles iLindacher, of Canton, still is
doing business at the old stand, not
having found a location offering better
facilities. He has had a good season
and anticipates a fine spring trade.
The F. Dorner & Sons Co., of La
Fayette, Ind., is well pleased with re-
turns from the recent carnation con-
vention at St. Louis. Theodore Dorner
expressed the opinion that it will be
necessary to establish two classes, ex-
hibition and commercial, in order to
give the small introducer the chance
that now is almost impossible. Look-
ing over the large area of seedlings,
one can realize the advisability of
creating such classes. A few notes of
special interest were made in passing.
Nancy, which received the award for
the best keeping variety, is a fine
grower and should be planted not less
than one foot apart each way. Rosalia
is a splendid successor to Rosette, and
those who have done well with Rosette
will do better with Rosalia. Sensation
has been somewhat of a disappoint-
ment, for which the wet fall is blamed.
It is doing well now, however. Good
Cheer is proving to be a profitable
commercial variety. Old Gold will be
sent out next year. A seedling from
Pink Delight and a dazzling scarlet are
among the bright possibilities of the
future. A seedling rose, Hoosier Beauty
X Sunburst, is promising. Ophelia is
doing finely. A house of single violets
for Valentine's day and a large stock
of thrifty geraniums were noted.
The Livingston Seed Co., of Colum-
bus, reports big business in all
branches. Manager Sperry, of the in-
secticide department, has had a bad
attack of grip, which he declares is
a germ, and is spending his few leisure
moments in locating it. W. M.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free use of dirt bands for the grow-
ing of all plants. Certainly, uo florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new EEADY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not how
cheap, but how good, is our motto.

The Florists^ Review
Fbbsuaby 10, 1916.
NEW BEDFORD, IV^SS.
The Market.
Business certainly was active last
week. A charity ball furnished an op-
portunity for the designers to show
what they could do in the way of cor-
sages, etc.
Various Notes.
Julius, of the Flower Mart, was one
of the ushers at the charity ball last
week.
W. H. Davenport reports business as
being particularly good at his new
stand.
Williams Bros, had an unusually busy
week of funeral work,
A recent visit to the S. E. Shaw
greenhouses found everything in first-
class condition,. A large house of sweet
peas was in splendid crop. A house of
carnations left nothing to be desired.
Gorgeous was particularly good, having
stems up to three and one-half feet long.
Mr. Shaw also grows, in smaller quan-
tities, pansies, calendulas, centaureas
and callas.
Post & Gray furnished a large deco-
ration for the Mt. Carmel church last
week.
I visited the greenhouses of the King-
ston Giirdens, at Kingston, Mass., last
week, where Henry J. Walsh is the
grower. Stock was in first-class condi-
tion. There was a wonderful crop of
sweet peas and violets. His carnations
also were of exceptional quality.
W. M. P.
Crookston, Minn. — "He grows every
one of his flowers in Crookston, Polk
county, Minnesota, and is doing this
city and cummunity a distinctive serv-
ive." The foregoing unsolicited words
of praise were awarded Edward Schus-
ter in a recent issue of the Daily Times.
They appeared at the end of a first-
page news article descriptive of the
Schuster greenhouses. Acquring the
property a little more than six months
ago, Mr. Schuster has transformed it
into a veritable beauty spot that has
attracted many visitors and consider-
able extra custom.

Pebruaey 10, 1916.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
The weather now is nearly ideal for
Avinter and the crops are becoming bet-
ter every day. The conditions in gen-
eral have improved to a great extent
and things are assuming a more normal
trend.
Roses are in fine shape and the sup-
ply seems just a little heavier than it
lias been. Shorter grades still are
scarce owing to the heavy demand and
the long fancy stock is cleaning up
each day. Wards, in particular, are
scarce and it is hard to distribute the
cut equally or nearly so. Carnations
are more plentiful and the stock is
showing better quality. Prices have
dropped somewhat and the downward
tendency is still with ua. There is no
surplus, however, but the shortage is
not acute by any means.
Stevia is entirely out of the market
and this helps the sale of greens to a
great extent. Valley still is quite
scarce and the probabilities are that it
will remain so for some time. The
quality, while passably good, is noth-
ing extra. Tulips, daffodils, freesias,
etc., are arriving in quantity and are
in fine shape. The market is cleaning
up every day and the prices are fair
for this year and good compared with
those of last year. Orchids are about
equal to the demand and are moving
readily. The advance orders for St.
Valentine's day are coming in and it
would seem that this year 's Valentine 's
day will more than hold its own with
that day of last year or the year pre-
vious. H. J. S.
WORCESTER, MASS.
The Market.
Retail trade has been good since the
first of the year, but stock until re-
cently has been short. Bulbous stock
has had a fine market and hyacinths
are beginning to arrive. There has
been a great demand for funeral work.
Indications point to a large Valen-
tine's business and the florists are mak-
ing ample preparations.
Various Notes.
H. F. A. Lange's Valentine windows
are a work of art and his line of nov-
elties for the day is good. Mr. Lange
has some unusually good tulips and his
stock in general is excellent.
Harry Randall is proud of his
healthy stock and expects a large
Valentine business. He featured yel-
low narcissi at a popular price last
week and disposed of many of them.
Hermann Lange has been appointed
assistant superintendent of the H. F. A.
Lange greenhouses. H. L.

Column Anchor Bases
I for our
i Reconstructed Construction
ALL COLUMNS in our
Reconstructed C o n -
struction are clamped at
the ground line to heavy
four-way braced anchor
bases, similar to the ones
used on the side posts. The
bottom of these bases is
big and broad, giving an
unusually large bearing sur-
face for the base to rest
on, and around which the
concrete can grip. The top
of the base is equipped
with a split half, which
friction-grips the column
when the four galvanized
bolts are tightened. This
clamp permits an adjust-
ment up or down of the
column, which is a valuable
feature in lining up the
rafters.
In addition to the power-
ful friction grip of the
clamp, it is equipped with
HiicKitisfs
NEW YORK OFFICE

a cold chilled pointed set
screw, which bores right
into the pipe, doubly insur-
ing it against slipping.
The rafter and post are
in one piece from the
ground line to the column
cap, where it is joined to
the balance of the rafter
extending to the ridge by a
steel splice plate. This
plate also carries the main
member of the double angle
iron truss.
The truss and rafter from
the column to the ridge are
all put together and hot-
riveted in place at the fac-
tory. This saves a lot of
work on the job and greatly
increases speed of erection.
In our next ad we will
tell you about the special
treatment of the purlins
and vent header in the Re-
constructed Construction.

There is an EAST and EXACT way to fold
Dirt Bands.
The Directions how to do this after two years
of experiment we reduced to 37 words and re-
ceived a Copyright on the Directions In 1914.
There is no other EASY and EXACT way to
fold them and no one can print these Directions
as we have a Copyright on them.
Our Square Paper Dirt Bands are the
original of all that are on the market today.
All others tmlng sold are Imitations of these
we advertise, and some of the lailtatlons being
sold are made of cheap paper, costing only about
half as much as our heavy stock. We sell no
erperlments. Ours have been tried out by long
use In the greenhouse. They will stand up In
any wet and beat as long as wanted. Samples

F. W. Rochelle & Sons,

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state
that I planted seedling stock plants and snap-
dragon cuttings In the first lot of bands that I
received from you early In January.
We took some of these out and planted them
where they are to remain about the 16th of
February. They made GOOD GROWTH while
In the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they
had never been moved at all.
I have now about 14,000 carnation plants
started In 2-in. bands which' are making a RAPID
GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant In transplant-
ing from the sand.
I also have abont 20,000 aster plants trans-
planted In 2-ln. bands which can stay there till
time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF
BEX:0M1NQ ROOT BOUND, as would be the case
If I used 2-ln. pots.
Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND
enough to Injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS,
and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT
OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water-
ing, shifting, transplanting, etc.
I make my bands and set them In flats, aa I
make them up, each flat holding 117.
When we get crowded indoors it takes but a
short time to move the flats to a cold frame,
where we harden them otT before setting them in
the field.
One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER
TIME AS MANY (twice as manv) plants in the
field from these bands and flats than he can from
pots, and after he Is through DOES NOT HAVE
THEJ BOTHER OP GATHERING UP, CLEAN-
ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OP POTS.
I believe anyone nslng these bands ONCB
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER.
Yours truly,
H. B. Wearer.
Mr. Weaver grows carnations, mignonette,
sweet peas, asters, etc. He ordered 6,000 Dirt
Bands the first year, 60,000 the second year,
70,000 last year and has just ordered 50,000 more
and a further order of 50,000.

Gentlemen: • • • We would say that we
used all the Paper Pots we got from you to raise
tomato plants.
Our weather Is often very severe late in May.
therefore we have to keep them inside and we
were certainly very satisfied with the splendid
results obtained from the Paper Pots.
In fact, WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH
TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE CHARGED EX-
ACTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT we did other
years and yet our CUSTOMERS INSISTED ON
HAVING THOSE IN PAPER POTS.
In our hot sun they never wilted.
We reserved a few for Primulas and certainly
have some fine ones.
It was easier to keep them watered and grow-
ing during the hot months.
Wishing you success.
Yours truly,
Blackadar A Co.

Gentlemen: I used some of your Paper Pots
last spring, which were highly satisfactory.
I grew Roses, Salvias, Verbenas, Petunias and
Geraniums In the Papor Pots for retail trade.
THEY NEARLY DOUBLED MY SALES.
I always bad fine thrifty plants to send out and
I delivered them In the pots, which Insured them
reaching my patrons in good condition.
I never bad a complaint of flowers dying or
wilting.
I buy some of my plants, which I set right in
the pots.
They are ready for delivery within a few days.
When plants are set out there is no collecting
pots or watering to be done.
I Intend to use them altogether next season.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. W. T. Bart>er.

BALTIMOBE.
The Market.
The weather last week varied from
summer's temperatures to winter's cold
blasts, and business was about as va-
riable as the weather. Carnations are
arriving in larger numbers and the
prices have receded, but at the end of
the week all stock had been sold. Eoses
sold at a lower figure than formerly,
but nearly everything was moved.
Violets, both single and double, could
be bought in unlimited quantities at
low prices. Daffodils are plentiful and
sell cheaply. Some of the first bicolors
were seen last week and they were all
snapped up. Owing to the cloudy
weather, peas are of rather poor qual-
ity, but plenty of them are to be had.
Bulbous stock was rather plentiful,
with the exception of tulips, and did
not move any too well. The demand
during the early part of the week was
poor, but later it picked up consider-
ably. White in all kinds of flowers was
in good demand, owing to the large
quantity of funeral work. Plant sales
are holding out well. Azaleas, primu-
las and potted bulbous stock are mov-
ing well, with a good supply on hand.
Various Notes.
James Glass is cutting fine calendu-
las. His sweet peas promise a heavy
cut of good quality and a bed of
Godfrey callas is covered with flowers.
Black Bros, had the decorations for
the Midnight Musketeers at the Lyric
February I.
At the next club meeting, February
14, William E. McKissick will talk on
"Business Good and Bad from a
Wholesale Point of View," which will
be followed by a discussion. This
meeting is nomination meeting, for the
nomination of oflicers for the year will
be made.
The National Flower Show, to be held
in Philadelphia, is the subject of much
interest to the members of the trade
and from present indications this city
will be well represented, for a large
number have already signified their in-
tention of attending the show.

WANTS DWABT ASPAEAGUS.
We have always understood that As-
paragus plumosus nanus was a dwarf
variety, growing about twelve to eight-
een inches high, but all the seed of
this variety that we have sown has
produced large plants with long run-
ners. Please inform us if there is a
dwarf variety more suitable for table
decorations. H. M. H. — Mich.
Asparagus plumosus nanus is not a
dwarf-growing variety, as the name
would indicate. It grows quite as tall
as the original, A. plumosus, the chief
distinction between the two being that
the nanus variety has flatter branches
and is more leafy or fuller than plu-
mosus. A. plumosus nanus is the best
variety in the trade for table use, and
when it is grown in a moderately light
greenhouse it is sufficiently dwarf for
all ordinary purposes. It should be
grown in 3 or 4-inch pots, but beyond
that size it needs to be cut back occa-
sionally in order to keep it within
bounds. W. H. T.
PBOPAOATINa POINSETTIAS.
When is the best time to begin propa-
gating poinsettias? Do they need much
bottom heat? Do you think a beginner
should buy rooted cuttings, and whent
How should these be handled in sum-
mer? Can the poinsettias be carried in
a chrysanthemum house through the
summer? I have only one house, but
intend to build more this year.
C. F.— Ohio.
Stock plants of poinsettias should
now be resting below a dry greenhouse
bench. Such plants can be started into
growth in a warm house from the mid-
dle of April onward. Eub off cuttings
with heels when they are three or four
inches long. Give them a good bottom
heat, protect them from the sun and
water them three or four times a week.
As you are a beginner, it would be
preferable to buy rooted cuttings in
June or July if you want small, dwarf
stock in pans. C. W.
Phoenix, Ariz. — For the purpose of
encouraging the planting and growing
of roses in the city, the president of
the Chamber of Commerce has appoint-
ed a committee to make arrangements
for an annual rose carnival. There are
several florists on the committee. Need-
less to say, the proposed festival would
result in good business for florists.
Why Duo-Glazed Sash for Hotbeds?
Because It takes most of the labor and nearly all the risk out of Hotbed and Coldframe
gardening.
With Duo-Glazod Sash— two layers of Klass with insulating air space between— no shutters
or night coverings are needed. Think of the labor saved. Being frost-proof, which
single gla/.ed sash Is not, a sudden change in temperature Isn't going to catch you unpre-
pared. Think of the savins In plants.
The cost of Duo-Glazod Sash over that of the single glazed
(about 83c on the sash and 76c for glaea), Is no more than
the cost of night coverings, without any consideration of
the labor cost of handling the covers.
Strongly built of Red Cypress, tenons creoscted before
joining. Duo-Glazed lockstrlp makes glazing easy and
quick, and prevents any possibility of slipping or
splintering.
In lots of 60 sash the <-ost of 3 ft. x G ft. size
is but $1.75 each; smaller quantities only
slightly more.
Since we also make and sell SInirle
Glass Putty Glazed Sash, our advice
Is unbiased.

TIME TO TACKLE i^
i»?? INCOME TAXES
Failure to file an income tax return on or before Wednesday, March
1, is punishable by a fine of from $20 to $1,000. All florists who had net
incomes of $3,000 or more from any source during the year 1915 must file
the return. Have you started yours f

OUR Uncle Samuel, who
""^^^ typifies the government at
^^f Washington, has noted
J I^ that the number of indi-
l -fc viduals who filed income
l\^_^^ tax returns last year was
only a little over 350,000,
while the records of the
Automobile Chamber of
Commerce show 812,000
cars sold in 1915. Official count of li-
married man has $4,000 exemption, but
he must file the return if his income
is as much as $3,000 and not so much
as $4,000.
Keep a Running Record.
When A. F. Lorist first was called
on to file an income tax return he
found it an almost hopeless task to fill
the blanks exactly, as he had no record
outside his store accounts. Next year,
however, he obtained a ;book from
his bank, distributed free as an ad, in
which he made entries as the trans-
actions occurred, so that now, blank
in hand, it is only a moment's work
to fill in the figures with accuracy.
Page 1 of the blank is a summary.
The place to begin is at the top of
page 2.
This florist is something of a literary
person. In the year he wrote several
articles for The Review, for which he
received $60; also two articles for a
gardening paper which paid him $30.
The total he enters on line 12, column
B. It would as well go on line 13, one
or the other remaining blank. His
wife spends part of each day in the
store and draws $15 per week for her
personal use. As it is charged on the
store's pay roll, it must here be en-
tered as a part of their joint income.
He doesn't allow himself any salary.
A. F. Lorist runs a retail flower
store in a city of some size and refer-
ence to his books shows its total re-
ceipts for the year to have been $18,-
657.87, for business was not quite so
good as in 1914. It goes on line 14,

$3,000; that there are seven times as

shares of "Steel common," at

action closed a few weeks be-

had it taken out in his wife's

sold at 82, doubling their
money. The net profit, $4,071

on line 16. Wife's interest on $500
she keeps in the savings bank against
a time of need was $18. On money in-
vested in bonds he received $300. His
wife received $180 interest on bonds
on which the tax was paid at the
source; so one amount goes in column
B, the other in column A.
The taxpayer receives $72 per year
as his share of the income from prop-
erty which, according to his father's
will, is not to be divided until two
nephews become 21 years of age. Of
this $72, $20 comes from a corporation
that pays an income tax, so it is en-
tered farther down, but $52 comes from
a mortgage, and is entered on line 18,
fiduciary being a general name for ex-
ecutors, trustees and the like.
Greenhouse Profits.
In years gone by A. F. Lorist has
invested part of his profits in a part-
nership wholesale growing establish-
ment on the edge of town. These
greenhouses did not pay so well in
1915 as in the past. After the active
partner had drawn a salary for his time
there was only $2,500 as profit on the
total investment. But before it was
seen which way the cat would jump
it had been decided to build another
greenhouse. It cost $2,000. So the cash
for each partner is only $250. It is
necessary, however, to schedule the en-
tire profit, "whether distributed or
not." So $1,250 goes on line 19.
Some years ago this taxpayer made
an investment in stock of a Canadian
corporation; it paid him $240 in 1914,
but in 1915 it cut its dividends in two,
80 $120 goes on line 20.
A greenhouse building firm is pay-
ing our friend a royalty for the use of
a patent he obtained in 1913, but in
1915 this did not amount to quite so
much as in 1914; $298.75 goes on line
21. On line 25 he enters $110 dividends
received on some stock in his bank,
and all his income is accounted for.
The footings are simple.
General Deductions.
At the top of page 3 he puts down
the expense of carrying on the store
during 1915, $15,025.15. This florist

discounts all his bills and for that pur-
pose sometimes borrows money of his
bank, but such interest charges go into
the expense account of the store. On
line 30 is entered $320 interest paid on
the mortgage on the store property.
The taxes were $169.75. The home
stands in the wife's name and her
taxes were $146.25. During the year
there were two losses at the store; the

being $35 more than the insurance, and
a fire started from the heating ap-
paratus in the basement, entailing a
loss estimated at $150 on wearing ap-
parel not covered by the insurance. So

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT
WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING
ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.
The trade was handicapped a bit this
year, but the business for the day
nevertheless was so good as to afford
high hopes for the future. In many of
the city news-letters in this issue of
The Review it will be found the sales
of flowers for valentine purposes not
only broke all records but were so large
as to rank the day as one of the big
special flower events of the entire year.
There are those who are so enthusias-
tic as to predict it soon will class with
Christmas in its demand for gift
flowers.
The obstacles this year were three in
number. Perhaps not all three operated
in any one place, or perhaps there were
places where everything was favorable,
but: In many markets stock has been
scarce and high, so that retailers were
deterred from buying liberally and ad-
vertising widely; in the east winter
gave a dying kick that day, many
places reporting the lowest tempera-
tures of the year; and Monday is pro-
verbially a poor day for a flower gift
holiday.
An interesting feature is that the
post-oflSce people in many cities noted
a sharp decrease in the number of val-
entines passing through the mails and
that in several instances it was ex-
plained in the daily papers as due to
the "increasing custom of sending
flowers." That's what we like to read.
NEW STORE IN THE SOUTHLAin).
Down in the Lone Star state, in the
city of Dallas, two enterprising men
pooled their experiences and interests
and launched out into the florists' craft
August 21. They are Ernest Rische,
Jr., and Charles C. ChoUar, both of
whom bring years of experience to
their venture, the Rische-Chollar Floral
Co. Mr. Rische is a young man. He
was formerly manager of the retail
store of the Texas Seed & Floral Co.,
and for the last two years has been
manager of the Lone Star Floral Co.
Mr. Chollar does not need an introduc-
tion to the Texas trade, having been
associated with some of the largest
firms in the state. During the last two
years he has been decorator for the
Brown-Dawson Co.
The accompanying illustration pic-
tures the interior of their shop, at Elm
and Stone streets, Dallas. The store
was opened August 21. In addition to
cut flowers, floral designs, plants, seeds
and bulbs, the owners retail canaries
and goldfishes.
ADVERTISING AND ITS COST.
Consider Results First.
The number of retail florists wjio
talk to the public through the news-
papers has increased rapidly in recent
years, but there still are a good many
who say, "I can't afford to advertise."
They have absolutely the wrong idea.
According to a somewhat hackneyed
phrase, advertising is not an expense,
but an investment. Some men like to
invest in oil wells, gold mines, gold
bricks or the hope of quick riches. If
they consider advertising as being in
this class, well, they are correct in
saying they can not "afford" it. But
for the man who finds an endowment
policy in a strong company a good in-
vestment, advertising is attractive.
How Much to Invest.
Advertising is of two classes: That
done with the expectation of direct re-
turns and that done for the purpose
of building a reputation. If a man ad-
vertises to make immediate sales he
can go as far as results justify, but it
may be taken as axiomatic that the
first sale never paid anybody — it is the
repeats from the new customer that
bring the real profits.
For the upbuilding of a business a
retailer may spend what he will. The
intelligence with which he spends the
money will count for more than the
amount of the expenditure.
It certainly is a capital crime to set
apart a sum for "advertising" and to
spend it without regard for results — a
man can get a reputation easily enough
by the thoughtless use of money, but
it seldom is a reputation that does a
business man any good. A florist may
have money to burn, but he will find
not many people worth while like the
smell of the smoke. Don't buy space
until you have something worth while
to put in it.
Eight Cents out of Every Dollar.
For general publicity purposes it
still is the practice to set aside a cer-
tain percentage of the gross sales and
the question frequently is asked, "How
much is a retail florist justified in put-
ting back into his business?" It all
depends. Andrew L. Demling says
Penn, in Boston, reinvests in this way
eight per cent of the annual sales and,
as Penn's sent The Review proof sheets
of the interview, it must bo correct.
How Penn Started.
It was the chance remark of an early
customer that started this Boston flo-
rist advertising, according to Mr. Dem-
ling. ' * It was a good many years ago,
and I was doing a modest business in
my first establishment over in Chap-
man place," Henry Penn is quoted in
the Cincinnati Enquirer as saying.
"One morning a well-known citizen of
Boston came into my store and said:
' ' ' Mr. Penn, what are you going to
soak me for a dozen carnations!'
"It set me thinking. That man
didn't know before he came in that my
prices and quality were right. There
were thousands of people in Boston
who didn't know it. Why? Because
I hadn't told them. Yet if they were
to become my customers — if my busi-
ness was to assume the proportions I
was determined it should — they would
have to know it.
"It was plainly my duty to tell
everybody in Boston that this 'Penn'
spelled quality, service and economy in
flower buying. How?
"There's only one medium through
which your message reaches everybody.
The newspaper. There's only one way
to make people realize what you're
telling them — to tell them constantly,
and so conspicuously they can't over-
look it.
A Quick Sales Proposition.
' ' Advertising is peculiarly essential
to the flower business," he continued.

"because prompt sales are the only
kind we can make. A house will keep,
a lot won't run away, but I don't know
of many things more unsalable than a
withered flower.
"Another thing, this business offers
unlimited possibilities for attracftive
advertising. Every season of the year
has its sentiment that only flowers can
express, and in addition to the days
and occasions that are celebrated gen-
erally in flowers, every week is full of
the more intimate anniversaries and
celebrations. Flowers are always . in
season.
The Key to Success.
"Here's the situation in a nutshell,"
Mr. Penn summed up, checking oflf his
points on his fingers. "Take a young
man of personality and good habits,
who delights in flowers and the society
of other flower lovers. See that 'he's a
young man of an original turn of mind,
a brain he's not afraid to use in con-
stant quest for new ideas.
"Give this man from $300 to $5,000,
according to his town and the volume
he's after. My original capital was
$300.
"And last, but most essential of all,
teach this young man how to keep the
newspapers working for him through
their advertising pages. Impress him
thoroughly with the necessity of keep-
ing his business constantly in people's
minds — so that the mention of buying
flowers suggests to them the mental
picture of his individual ads — so that
his firm and his ads are welded for all
time with the thought of flower buy-
ing. That man's chances in the flower
business are absolutely Al. "
the new man often works just long
enough to succeed in mislabeling a
batch of plants when I have my back
turned. The fact is that the batch of
plants is not really labeled to a wrong
name, but mislabeled, by which I mean
so that the next man does not know
to which batch of plants the label be-
longs, unless he is a real plantsman,
who can recognize a variety by the
leaves. The result is that the itinerant
florist has balled up the job and started
trouble for the foreman. So I have my
own system of labeling, to-wit: One
label at the first row of a sort, facing
the sort, and another label at the last
row of the same sort, also facing the
sort. And the man who does not fol-
low my rule is put to work where he
handles no labels at all. I maintain
that the only correct way is some way
by which mistakes cannot occur. All
other ways are not the correct way.
Of course, I realize full well that I am
a crank and a crab, but what foreman
does not find that quality more or less
a necessity? I have kept my job for
nearly twenty years at one and the
same establishment. E. I. Diculus.

LABEIJNa IN THE BENCH.
In The Eeview for February 10 C. W.
invites the opinion of others concerning
the proper labeling of plants in the
cutting bench. I believe the best way
to label batches of cuttings and plants,
especially smaller batches, is to use two
labels, one at the beginning and one
at the end of each batch. In that case,
unless a man is extremely careless, he
is not liable to get cuttings or plants
mixed. Geo. C. Schmidt.
OBOPS FOR MEMOBIAI, DAY.
In regard to the article, "Crops for
Memorial Day" on page 20 of the Flo-
rists' Review for February 10, I write
to suggest what I consider a much bet-
ter method than the one recommended
for the handling of stocks. They should
be planted January 1 to 10, according
to variety, and pinched once after
benching. Unpinched plants will give
one large spike and pinched plants will
give from five to twelve good spikes.
Pinched plants require more time than
unpinched ones. Whenever I have fol-
lowed the above rule I never failed to
have a good crop for May 30 in this
climate. Alexander Skillin.
Maine.
FAHRENHEIT AND CENTIGRADE.
In The Review of January 20, on
page 22, you speak of the bill that has
been introduced in Congress to abolish
the Fahrenheit thermometer scale and
substitute therefor the centigrade
scale. After reading the article it oc-
curred to us that an easy formula for
converting centigrade readings to
Fahrenheit would be of interest to your
readers. The formula is as follows:
Multiply any centigrade reading by
nine-fifths, then add thirty-two to the
result. As an example, take the boiling
point of water on the centigrade scale,
which is 100 degrees. In changing this
to Fahrenheit the formula works like
this: 100X9/5 = 180; 180 + 32 = 212.
Therefore the boiling point of water
in Fahrenheit is 212 degrees, which is,
of course, common knowledge. To con-
vert Fahrenheit to centigrade the for-
mula is reversed, thus: Subtract
thirty-two from the Fahrenheit read-
ing and multiply the result by five-
ninths. By this rule 212 degrees
Fahrenheit will become 100 degrees
centigrade. George W. Haas & Son.
MORE ABOUT LABEXJNG.
I have read with interest a question
in The Review where someone wants to
know what is the correct way of label-
ing plants on a bench, and I would
like to offer my opinion on this sub-
ject, because I also find that almost
every new man the boss hires, and who
is put to work under my supervision,
has a new way of labeling plants or
cuttings; also, each new way is the
only correct way. The trouble is that
FREESIAS FROM SEED?
We usually have saved and planted
our own freesia bulbs, which were long
and slim and seldom failed to bloom,
but during the last few years we had
to cut the foliage with the blooms and
thereby naturally killed the bulbs. The
only bulbs we can purchase in the mar-
ket are round and thick, of which a
good percentage never come up. Re-
cently we noticed in a catalogue that
freesias from seed will bloom the first
year. Has any reader tried this? If
so, is it practical? F. Blondeel.
THE MRS. HEAL BEGONIA.
The Review several times has spoken
of the Mrs. Heal begonia as a promis-
ing Christmas pot plant for the trade.
Probably the most successful grower in
the United States has been William
Downs, whose plants, shown at Boston,

have attracted much attention. The
following cultural notes were written
by Mr. Downs:
"This new type of red winter-flower-
ing begonia, Mrs. John Heal, really
flowers in the fall in America, and is a
valuable acquisition, provided the
plants receive careful culture. Being
semi-tuberous, the plants require to be
treated somewhat differently from both
the tuberous and fibrous-rooted sections.
They must not be dried off as the tuber-
ous, nor be kept growing like iiie fibrous,
but a sort of halfway treatment is nec-
essary. Indeed, the stems must be kept
green, and a few leaves generally re-
main fresh until we start them in the
spring. During the resting period we
keep fhem in the cool house with cycla-
mens, pelargoniums and similar plants,
and on the bench, not under it. Towards
spring we give them more heat. When
they break freely and after taking off
what cuttings we need, we repot the old
plants, shaking them out thoroughly and
using rough material for the potting
mixture. Watering is done most care-
fully at this stage, or they turn yellow
and finally rot; in fact, at all times
they must be preserved from any excess.
The cuttings root as freely as a pelar-
gonium. We grow them with Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine, using much the same
soil — rough fibrous loam, leaf-soil and
sand, with cow manure. This last mate-
rial we pick up in the pastures and
break it in lumps, and I find the plants
revel in this rough mixture. Just a
dash of Clay's fertilizer in the final
potting is good, and we use the same
with alternate waterings of liquid ma-
nure after the pots become filled with
roots. A moist atmosphere and a tem-
perature of 60 degrees at night and 10
degrees higher in the day suits them
during the season of growth. We use
for shade the stripe system, much the
same as if we had slat shades, using on
our 24-inch glass five stripes which
cover about half the surface, and I find
this system of shade js far better than
covering the whole surface for all plants
except palms and ferns. The begonias
must not be exposed to drafts, or they
will be susceptible to mildew. We use
side ventilation under the benches."
NOVELTY NiaHT IN CHICAGO.
Many Fine Exhibits.
More than 100 members and guests
of the Chicago Florists' Club graced
the occasion of its novelty night, Feb-
ruary 10, at the Morrison hotel. In

staged the noveltj' exhibits. These
made up in quality and variety any-
thing they lacked in numbers.
The exhibits, together with the com-

in the trade when, in 1906, in partnership with the originator, he disseminated

The Florists' Review
Febrdarx 17, 1916.
When business was disposed of the
club listened to most instructive and
entertaining talks by the numerous
visitors. E. G. Hill, of Eichmond, Ind.,
gave a criticism of the roses now oc-
cupying the attention of the growers.
This was followed by a few remarks
on the work of the department of flori-
culture at the University of Illinois by
H. B. Dorner. A. F. J. Baur, of Indian-
apolis, Ind., secretary of the American
Carnation Society, scored the growers
of the middle west for letting New
England send more blooms to St. Louis
than they, and carry away more prizes.
He warned those present that the
Yankees would try to repeat this next
year at Indianapolis. S. S. Skidelsky,
of Philadelphia, spoke interestingly of
the coming show in that city. Fred
Lemon, of Eichmond, Ind., when called
upon, subscribed to what had been said
by Mr. Baur. William Graham, the
new manager of the Fleischman Floral
Co., expressed his pleasure with things
as he found them in Chicago. A short
review of the progress made by the flo-
rists' trade in Chicago since his first
visit in 1893 was given by W. A.
Manda, of South Orange, N. J. C. C.
Pollworth assured the members of the

speech by him would be a greater nov-
elty than any on exhibition in the ad-

TBI-CITIES' CLUB MEETING.
The monthly meeting of the Tri-City
Florists' Club was held Thursday, Feb-
ruary 10, at the residence of William
Goos, at Bettendorf, la. This was one
of the best attended, most interesting
and enjoyable meetings ever held in
the history of the club. The main busi-
ness of the meeting was the considera-
tion of the reports from the various
committees in charge of the arrange-
ments for the forthcoming convention
and exhibition of the Illinois State Flo-
rists' Association, to be held at Turner
hall, Moline, 111., March 7 and 8.
Satisfactory progress was reported by
the committees at this meeting. John

[A synopsis of a talk by E. G. Hill, of Rich-
mond, Ind., before the Chicago Florists' Club,

The rose will always have first place
in our calling, and it is well that we, as
growers of roses, are catching on to the
fact that novelty is one of the potent
factors in roses as well as in ribbons,
silks and the trimming for the ladies'
hats. We have been supinely indifferent
to this phase of our business, but a new
era has dawned, and this means good
and not ill, for our business. Eose

growers are at work in more earnest
effort than ever to meet this new fea-
ture of our trade.
The Season's Offerings.
The Waban Eose Conservatories are
sending out two sports from Mrs. Eus-
sell, which most of you have had op-
portunity to inspect and crticise.
These two varieties, Mrs. Bayard
Thayer and Dark Pink Eussell, should
certainly commend themselves to all
who do Eussell well. The last named,
maintaining, as it does, its fine rich
color, may be a dangerous rival of its
parent. Mrs. Thayer certainly will be
in demand, and I predict a goodly num-
ber will be grown in the near future.
If a fine corsage and bowl rose is
desired I can commend Tipperary as
filling the bill. This rose is free in its
production of bloom, and is greatly
esteemed at the two retail stores I am
interested in, many preferring it to
Mrs. Aaron Ward.
Tip-Top is a charmingly colored little
gem of a rose in the way of a polyan-
tha. Nothing imaginable can be more
beautiful than the color scheme of this
little rose. A corsage bouquet made of
this little beauty captivates the most
fastidious. This variety has only one
defect — it lacks stiffness of stem, but
as all corsage roses are wired, this does
not militate against its usefulness.
A. N. Pierson is sending out Eed
Eadiance; also a deeper colored sport
from My Maryland. These should be
valuable additions for summer cut
blooms.
You all know about Champ Weiland
and you who are here can speak, for I
have not seen it.
Chas. H. Totty offers Gorgeous and
Cleveland, two of the Hugh Dickson
productions. These are being put out
with the endorsement of Mr. Totty,
which certainly is warrant for their in-
troduction.

exposition, will not be diatributed be-
fore next year. It is a rich, pure yel-
low, with extremely long petals and a
shapely bud. If it has sufficient petal-
age, it has all the earmarks of a great
rose for forcing. It certainly made a
deep impression on my mind.
The Newer Forcing Roses.
Mrs. Eussell has made good, if we
may credit all that is said about it by
the Chicago growers; in fact, growers
distant from Chicago are succeeding
admirably with it. On the other
hand, failure has attended the growing
of this rose by some up-to-date and
experienced growers, and with a goodly
number has disappointment followed
their best efforts. A recent visit south
was instructive and of great interest
as pertains to Mrs. Eussell; it was, in
the great majority of the places in the
south, doing remarkably well, and
thriving amazingly in a few places. It
occurred to your speaker that the rose
likes abundant sunshine and considera-
ble heat to do its best, but your club
members are better able to discuss this
point than myself. This rose has great
merit and is well liked by those who
appreciate a long-stemmed variety that
possesses good keeping qualities. Those
two qualities certainly give it stand-
ing with critical rose buyers.
Mme. P. Euler is finding favor with
many growers on the Pacific slope, and
under the bright sunshine and climatic
conditions of California it will make a
large place for itself. Our firm was the
first to test and try out this rose after
its introduction; 'we found a small per-
centage perfected themselves, but the
major portion were bull-headed, as the
growers use the term. If it succeeds
in the eastern part of the United States,
I shall be pleased to know it, for it is
a beautiful rose when nicely developed.
Wanted: Colored Ophelias.
Ophelia certainly deserves all the
praise bestowed upon it. A seedling of
Antoine Rivoire x Taft, having all the
good qualities of its parent, without
any of its faults, surely this rose comes
nearer being the ideal cut flower forc-
ing rose, measuring up to Killarney in
its productiveness, but without its
tendency to mildew. As one noted rose
grower puts it: "The finest and most
useful of all roses." One grower said:
"What we want is a pink, a red and a
white Ophelia; then surely the rose mil-
lennium will have come." At Rich-
mond in a cross between Ophelia and
Mrs. Shawyer we seem to have found
the good growing qualities of Ophelia
with the fine shape and coloring of
Shawyer.
Mrs. Shawyer with many is consid-
ered the finest of all pink roses and is
deservedly popular with all who love a
fine bud and a beautiful rose, but it
has a tendency to mildew without
provocation under seemingly good cul-
ture. It is a rose requiring careful
handling of the ventilators.
The Velvety Beds.
Hadley is a rose that has had exten-
sive trial and is a grand variety when
well done. It certainly is fine when
grown as it is done in its home town.
Nothing could be more desirable in a
red rose if it were productive enough;
its great fault is the unusual amount
of blind wood produced, especially in
winter. I fear this rose will not hold
place for this reason.

^^.y.'T. 7^ /U*^.Jy6yl^,
Hoosier Beauty, as grown for two
years at Richmond, has fully sustained
the claims made by the Dorners; in
fact, visitors who have noted its
behavior through the winter with us
have only words of praise for the va-
riety. We have had most gratifying
results from the 10,000 plants grown by
our firm the present season. It has its
faults, like every other variety, but its
virtues offset any tendency to weakness
of stem in the short growths. Unlike
Hadley, it does not produce any blind
wood. It is fine in color and is a won-
derful keeper and shipper. I under-
stand failure has attended the growing
of this rose on some of the large places
at Chicago, but further experience, I
think, will put the variety in the front
row of forcing reds. Too heavy feed
and too much heat are the two things
that have caused disappointment. It
is a wonderful hot weather rose.
A few more petals, and a little more
scarlet in its color scheme, would have
put Crimson Queen in the front rank
as a forcing variety.
Criticism of Brilliant.
One of the roses most criticised has
been Killarney Brilliant. This rose, for
some reason or other, did not move off
in growth the first season after dissemi-
nation. Up to December we thought
the variety totally lacking in vigor, but
after that time and up to the present
its growth and flowering qualities are
all that could be desired. Certainly its
fine color commends it to all, for it
does not have the faults of its parent
as regards color. I cheerfully com-
mend Killarney Brilliant to all who
want an improved Killarney.
Killarney Queen has had a meteoric
existence and is grown in limited quan-
tities only. Setting two or three plants
together is urged, a few claiming that
when so planted it gives a profitable
cut.
There have been other sports of Kil-
larney, viz.: Dark Red and the Double
Killarney, biit these two sorts have
been dropped almost entirely.
Double White Killarney has a place
and is considered by a great many
growers to be a decided acquisition in
a white forcing rose. It is certainly
superior in summer to the old White
Killarnej' in its keeping qualities.
Various Varieties.
There have been many entries in the
red rose class, all trying to oust Rich-
mond, but they are having a hard time
of it. Milady, as grown by a few,
would seem desirable, but it has its
faults, and with me it has not behaved
satisfactorily. W. J. Keimel and Adolph
Poehlmann seem to be able to get re-
sults. I think Mr. Keimel was unde-
cided some time ago whether or not to
go on with the variety, but this gentle-
man finally said: "I will continue to
grow it until I find a better red."
Prince E. C. d'Arenberg is unsatis-
factory in many ways; it opens wide
immediately on exposure to the heat of

a room. It is a fine, strong grower, but
the size of the bud does not measure up
with its fine foliage and heavy stem.
Jonkheer J. L. Mock is a variety
with an uncertain future. It is a most
magnificent rose in the spring when
there is sufficient sun heat to open its
buds. I thought the vase of this rose
staged at the New York show in 1914
by Eobert Simpson was the handsomest
vase of roses ever staged. As a spring
and summer rose it should find a place,
but it gives too many deformed buds
in dark weather to be profitable.
Lady Alice Stanley is a beautiful
two-toned pink rose and is esteemed by
rose fanciers. This is a high-class va-
riety and will always bring a good
price in the retail shops. It has fine
foliage and is free from any tendency
to weakness of growth. We shall grow
an increased quantity the coming sea-
son.
Lady Hillingdon has gone by the
board, so to speak; a few are still grow-
ing it, but its tendency to fly open and
its lack of petals have been the deter-
mining factors.
Francis Scott Key is liked by a few,
but I predict its speedy eclipse as a
forcing rose.
MODERN SALESMANSHIP.
The accompanying illustrations will
give an idea how florists' supplies may
be brought to the customer wheu the
customer can not come to the ware-
house. Every first-class commercial
hotel now contains one or more rooms
where a salesman who travels, with a
surprising number of trunks, can dis-
play his stock. The view shows Frank
J. Farney's display of the M. Bice Co.
made-in-America products in a leading
Detroit hostelry. Engagements are
made with every reachable retailer in
turn, engagements that may or may not
be kept, but the salesman generally can
be trusted to get him there in the end,
exemplifying the old adage that when
Mahomet can not come to the mountain,
why, the mountain can go to Mahomet.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
The American Rose Society is likely
to have an extra large display at the
National Flower Show in Philadelphia,
March 25 to April 2. The prize list is
growing. Since the publication of
forty-two special prizes we have re-
ceived prizes from the following: Mal-
colm Franklin, Philadelphia, $25; Wil-
liam L. Eock Flower Co., Kansas City,
$10; Henry Penn, Boston, $10; Mann &
Brown, Richmond, Va., $10.
George E. Campbell, Erdenheim, Pa.,
has been appointed manager of the
rose exhibits.
A list of judges, men of the first class,
has been named. Up to this writing
the following have accepted: Philip
Breitmeyer, Detroit; Frank H. Traend-
ly. New York; Wm. J. Palmer, Buffalo;
Eugene Dailledouze, Flatbush.
The rose garden, for which prizes of
$500, $400 and $300 are offered, will
make a most interesting display and
is an assured successful feature of the
exhibition.
The annual bulletin is now in press
and it copies in a great measure the
general character of the annual as is-
sued by the National Rose Society of
England. It will contain various illus-
trations and is edited by J. Horace Mc-
Farland Co., Harrisburg, Pa.
We have more paid subscriptions for
the year to date than usual.

Asters.
For an early crop to be grown under
glass or for the first outdoor crop, a
sowing of asters can be made now.
Queen of the Market is the best va-
riety to use, and white, pink and lav-
ender are the best selling colors, in
this order. Early Wonder, which
comes in a little ahead of Queen of
the Market, is a poor, though early,
sort. Asters succeed well in a cool,
airy house, under conditions similar to
those given chrysanthemums. Keep
the seedlings growing right along and
never let them get starved before plant-
ing them out, or they will be of no
account.
Moonflowers.
The latter part of February is a suit-
able time to make a sowing of Ipomoea
grandiflora alba, better known as the
moonflower. Sow the seed in flats or
pans in a warm, moist house. Pot off
the seedlings when large enough to han-
dle and give a shift before the time
for spring sales arrives. Also, give each
plant a stake to support the shoots.
There is a steady demand for this popu-
lar night-blooming climber.
Heliotropes.
The heliotrope is one of the most de-
liciously scented of all bedding plants.
It has the advantage of being a per-
sistent bloomer and is valuable in
vases, window-boxes and even in hang-
ing-baskets as well as when bedded out.
It is easily propagated and a rapid
grower and if you will put in a gener-
ous batch of cuttings now, pot off and
give a shift to 3%-inch or 4-inch pots
later, you will have splendid plants in
time for the bedding-out season. Of
course, these plants will need some
pinching to keep them bushy.
The call for standard heliotropes is
good. These are fine to use either as
pot plants in small tubs or bedded out
with lower growing plants below them.
Seedlings possess greater vigor than
cuttings and make better standards.
Their culture is simple. Rub off all side
shoots and flowers and keep the stem
well staked. A height of eighteen to
thirty inches gives nice standards, but
for large specimens to be finally placed
in tubs, and which can be kept in good
condition for a number of years if
treated carefully, the stems should be
thirty to thirty- six inches in the clear.
GladioU.
It is time to plant a large batch of
gladioli for Memorial day use. Bright-
colored varieties like the old Brench-
leyensis and Mrs. King sell particularly
well at that time, as does that com-
mon but still popular pink variety,
America. It would be well to plant
some of that inexpensive white variety,
Augusta, or any others of a salable
color. It is impossible to get more
than a fraction of the spikes just right
for Memorial day. There always is,
however, a tolerably good call for
gladioli, both before and after that^
holiday. It is often difficult at this sea-
son to secure any rotted manure to add
to the soil in the beds or benches, in
which case some fine bone and pul-
verized animal manure can be used with
advantage.

in 3 1/^ -inch or 4-inch pots for spring
sales, sow the seed now. For bedding
purposes the intermediate types are, on
the whole, preferable to the tall and
dwarf strains, pink, pure white, yellow
and red being the favorite colors. You
also can take cuttings from the green-
house stock and get almost equally good
plants at the time they are wanted,
but it is well to remember that such
plants possess much less vigor than
seedlings and will be sure to develop
more stem-rot in case we get such a
wet spell as we had last July and Au-
gust.
For a Memorial day crop the present
is a suitable time to plant out snap-
dragons. They give an enormous quan-
tity of bloom and few flowers are bet-
ter adapted for bouquet work. It is not
necessary to disbud the shoots se-
verely for a Memorial day crop, for,
as a rule, spikes of moderate size are
preferable to the larger ones. GLet your
young plants run up to flower and at
least show color before pinching back.
The plants will then branch much more
vigorously than if the pinching was
done while the shoots were soft.
Plants which have been flowering
since fall should now have a good top-
dressing of cow manure, or pulverized
sheep manure. Mix the latter with an
equal proportion of damp, screened
loam before using it. This prevents
the manure washing into ridges in the
benches, as is often the case when the
dry manure is applied alone. A night
temperature of 48 to 50 degrees should
not be exceeded for snapdragons.
BOSTON.
The Market.
Last week was not a satisfactory one
for cut flower growers. Supplies were
considerably in excess of demand, ex-
cept in the case of roses, which continue
off crop. Weather has been, on the
whole, cold and decidedly wintry in
character, with more snow than we
have previously had. Valentine's day
gave considerable of a fillip to the mar-
ket, such flowers as violets, valley,
sweet peas, cattleyas and roses being in
the strongest demand, and the outlook
is now slightly improved. Carnations
are in heavy supply and there is an
unusually large number of split flowers.
Enchantress and Beacon being specially
bad in this respect. Eoses are not in
heavy supply and there is no trouble
in cleaning all up at excellent prices.
Of Russell the supply at present is
limited. Beauties also are scarce. Kil-
larney Brilliant and Sunburst are com-
ing off color with several growers. For
the little Mile. Cecile Brunner there is
an excellent demand at $2 to $2.50 per
hundred.
Violets had a great sale for Valen-
tine's day and made as high as $1 for
fancy singles, but have now dropped
back again. Somehow violets are not
so popular as they were a few years
ago. Sweet peas are arriving in large
quantities. For the Spencer type the
demand is good. Bulbous flowers rule
lower in price, owing to the heavily
increased supply, but prices are much
better than a year ago. Calendulas
have been selling well, also yellow mar-
guerites and pink snapdragons. Of
lilies and callas the supply is in excess
of the demand. Mignonette is now of
fine quality, but moves slowly.
Forget-me-not is eagerly bought up
and English primroses and cornflowers
clean up well. Gardenias have been
scarce and still sell at $6 per dozen.
Cattleyas are in abundant supply and
sell at from $3 to $5 per dozen, accord-
ing to quality. For asparagus there
is a decidedly better market.
Club Banquet.
The annual banquet of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club at the New Amer-
ican House February 9 was a success-
ful and enjoyable one. There was an
attendance of 300, including a number
of guests. The tables were, as usual,
beautifully decorated with orchids,
roses, carnations, freesias, sweet peas
and other cut flowers and pot plants.
James Methven acted as toastmaster at
the postprandial exercises. The speak-
ers included William P. Rich, who re-
sponded for the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society; Wilfrid Wheeler, secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture,
who spoke for that body; William N.
Craig, who replied on behalf of the
National Association of Gardeners;
William C. Stickel, for the Boston
Flower Exchange, and John McFarland,
for the Boston Cooperative Flower Mar-
ket. The concluding speaker was the
new vice-president, William J. Patter-
son.
Entertainment was furnished by Miss
Barbara Mayer, contralto; Miss An-
nette Luvick, contralto; C. E. Tasker,
tenor; Gilmore Corbin, monologuist;
Raymond Pugh, pianist. Following the
3peeehmaking and entertainment, danc-
ing was enjoyed until midnight. Don-
ald J. Crighton was floor director, his
aides being J. R. Ness, J. L. Russell,
Edward Rose, Geo. W. Hamer, Luther
Webb and Robert E. Montgomery.

and nine iiew members were added to
the list. S. J. Goddard, of Framingham,
spoke on the recent St. Louis carnation
convention and of his visits to Chicago,
, Indianapolis, La Fayette and Richmond,
Ind. Charles S. Strout, of Biddeford,
Me., also gave an interesting talk on
the carnation convention and said he
believes the superior climate is the
reason for the superior blooms and
stems of carnations in the east. David
S. Ward, of Queens, N. Y., spoke in-
terestingly of the convention, with spe-
cial reference to new varieties. Wil-
liam Downs then gave a talk on carna-
tions from the private gardener's point
of view, and Peter Fisher, of Ellis,
Mass., spoke on the culture of the car-
nation, saying that he believes in early
planting. B. W. Curtis, of Cornell Uni-
versity, and John H. Stalford, of Bar
Harbor, also were speakers. The latter
spoke enthusiastically of this year's
sweet pea show, which will be held at
Bar Harbor, and for which the club
donated a $25 prize.
The exhibition was large and of high
quality. The F. Dorner & Sons Co., of
La Fayette, Ind., was awarded reports
of merit for Rosalia, Good Cheer and
Pink Sensation. This concern also
showed seedlings grown by S. J. God-
dard, who was given a report of merit
for his crimson seedling No. 16-12. C.
S. Strout staged Pocahontas, Matchless,
Champion and Beacon. Nelson Seaver,
of Dover, N. H., exhibited a good va-
riegated seedling and Peter Fisher was
awarded honorable mention for his ex-
hibit, which included new seedlings
and Alice. E. K. Farr, of Stonehani,
Mass., showed Harry Fonn and Benora.
Littlefield & Wyman, of North Abing-
ton, Mass., staged Miss Theo. The Cot-
tage Gardens Co., of Queens, N. Y.,
won a report of merit for Crystal White
and an honorable mention for Cottage
Maid. Wadsworth & Co. were given an
honorable mention for Samuel Wheeler,
a good light pink. Eclipse mignonette
was shown by the T. .1. Grey Co., of
Boston, and an entry of Superb cycla-
men, exhibited by Borowski & Son, was
awarded a cultural report of merit.
Florists' Bowling League.
Interest in the bowling league con-
test grows as the competition draws
toward a close. The present leaders
are by no means sure of their positions,

Various Notes.
William J. Marshall, of Campello, is
sending W. A. Hastings a splendid lot
of Formosa lilies; also Murillo tulips,
freesias, Von Sion narcissi and other
bulbous flowers. He has a good white,
fringed serdling carnation.
William H. Ward, of Montvale, is
strong on forget-me-not at present and
still has excellent freesias. Among car-
nations he has fine Rosette, Benora,
Pink Delight, Beacon, White Wonder
and Matchless. The last named with
him proves much less free flowering
than White Wonder.
J. Seaver, of Framingham, grows a
fine assortment of carnations, includ-
ing Pink Delight, Alice, Matchless,
Benora, Fenn, Beacon, White Wonder
and White Enchantress.
Robert Montgomery and wife, of Na-
tick, made the trip to St. Louis for
the carnation convention and thorough-
ly enjoyed it. They are planning to
spend a few days in Philadelphia dur-
ing the run of the National Flower
Show.
James Wheeler, of Natiek, has a sal-
mon sport of Pink Delight which he
considers desirable. His Pink Delight
and Matchless are unusually fine. He
is having a good call for rooted cut-
tings. Yellow marguerites here are more
largely and better grown than else-
where in this section.
E. J. Ahern, of Wellesley, the yellow
marguerite specialist, is mourning the
loss of his mother, who died last week.
Specially fine with the Budlong Rose
Co. are Milady, Stanley, Francis Scott
Key and Ophelia. A shipment of 500
of the latter in various grades Feb-
ruary 12 sold for $75. They have a
strong call for Mile. Cecile Brunner.
Wax Bros, did a heavy business for
Valentine's day, beating all previous
records. Their window arrangements
are always so attractive that they com-
pel attention. They sell many thou-
sands monthly of the pretty little Mile.
Cecile Brunner rose.
Visitors last week included Geo. E.
Baldwin, Mamaroneck, N. Y., who re-
ports his local orchid orders as the best
ever; J. S. Hay, representing H. A.
Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia; R. T. Beers,
representing A. N. Pierson, Inc., Crom-
well, Conn.; Geo. F. Struck, of Knight
& Struck Co., New York; L. J. Renter,
Westerly, R. I., and C. Young, repre-
senting C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.
The firm of Cahill & Beasley, East
Milton, has been dissolved by mutual
consent. Mr. Beasley, having bought
out his partner's interest, will operate
the business alone. Pansies will con-
tinue to be a leading specialty.
Penn's Valentine's day windows
were unusually attractive and the busi-
ness transacted in violets and other
flowers Febraary 14 was enormous, far
surpassing a,ll previous records.
Andrew Christensen will plant Car-
nation Belle Washburn next season, be-
ing favorably impressed by its appear-
ance. Ward, Pink Delight, Matchless,
Benora and Beacon are his leaders at
present.
The Sutermeister Estate, of Read-
ville, is having a heavy call for bulbs
in pans. In addition to tulips, hya-
cinths and narcissi, they sell many pans
of grape hyacinths and crocus.
The Breck Robinson Co. has pur-
chased the noted gladiolus collection
of C. H. Chamberlain, of Wellesley, and
will specialize in this flower, with Mr.
Chamberlain in charge of the depart-
ment.
February has proved its title of snow
month. The fall of snow February 12
and 13 was the deepest we have had
for several years. Fortunately, it came
without wind and, owing to the low
temperature, was light. We have not
yet heard of any injury to greenhouse
establishments, but delays in flower
shipments have been considerable.
W. N. C.
West Newbury, Mass. — Charles Morse
and Herbert Smith have formed a part-
nership and started a plant and seed
business.
Natiek, Mass. — A large number of
lights were blown in by the recent gale
at the Charles Fullick greenhouses. Re-
pairs had to be rushed to save the stock
from exposure to the weather.
Bangor, Me. — Harold L. Cushman
and Miss Mabel Worth, who for some
time have been partners in a success-
ful florists ' business here, under the
name of Cushman & Worth, recently
decided to make their partnership per-
petual and made a journey to Portland,
where they were tied in wedlock at the
Central Baptist church. The flower
store will be continued under the same
name.
Hartford, Conn. — A 20-ton brick
chimney at the range of Eugene S.
Drake was blown over during a recent
wind storm and fell on three of the
houses, shattering all the glass and
damaging the heating apparatus. Mr.
Drake had to use oil stoves and even
bonfires to keep the stock from freezing
until it could be transferred to other
houses. Tlie same storm smashed 480
feet of glass at the range of John
Coombs,
Simsbury, Conn, — One of the S. T,
Welden greenhouses a short time ago
partly collapsed under the weight of
snow.
Orono, Me. — Alex. Laurie has re-
signed his position at the head of the
division of floriculture of the Univer-
sity of Maine, having been appointed
horticulturist at the Missouri Botan-
ical Garden, St. Louis, He will assume
his new duties March 10.
Wakefield, Mass. — Edward Winkler
has decided not to disseminate his new
carnation. Morning Glow, although or-
ders thus far taken will be filled. Mr.
Winkler intends growing the variety
heavily next year, as it has been and
still is the most profitable sort for
him.
New Bedford, Mass. — William Brown,
of 191 Cedar street, recently appeared
before the city council to press his
claim for damages done to his green-
house stock by fumes and gases from
the city asphalt mixer, which is in close
proximity to his range. Mr. Brown
stated that the smoke entered his
houses through the ventilators and
ruined 5,000 geraniums and many as-
paragus plants. The council appointed
a committee to visit the greenhouses
and report at the next meeting.

OBITUARY
Charles L. Watrous.
Captain Charles L. Watrous, presi-
dent of the Watrous Nursery Co., of
Des Moines, la., died at his home in
Des Moines on the morning of February
9. He was 77 years of age and until
a short time previous to his death he
enjoyed his usual good health. Death
was caused by bronchial pneumonia,
which the deceased had contracted four
days previously.
Captain Watrous was born January
13, 1837, at Freetown, N. Y. He spent
his childhood there and later attended
the Homer Academy, at Homer, N. Y.
He took up his college course at the
University of Michigan, but at the
outbreak of the Civil war he returned
to his home and organized a company
of infantry. He saw much service
during the early stages of the war
and at the second battle of Bull Eun
he was wounded and suffered internal
injuries when a rifle ball struck and
exploded his cartridge box. He was
mustered out of service and was never
physically able to reenter the war.
At the close of the war Captain
Watrous went to Michigan and finished
a course in law. He began practice at
Winchester, Va., and in 1867 married
Miss Sophia Glover, of Homer, N. Y.
Failing health, however, due to his
wounds, compelled him to seek an out-
door life. He embarked for Iowa and
arrived at Des Moines in 1869. At Des
Moines he started the nursery business
which he headed at the time of his
death. As _ a nurseryman Captain
Watrous was' widely known. For years
he was president of the American
Pomological Society, and until a few
years ago he was one of the leaders in
the American Association of Nursery-
men. He was its president in 1886 and
1887.
Captain Watrous was a past com-
mander of the Iowa CLoyal Legion, a
member of the G. A. E., Sons and
Daughters of the Eevolution, Society
of the Colonial Wars and Mayflower
Descendants. He is survived by four
children, Mrs. James R. Angell and
Philip B. Watrous, of Chicago; Edward
L. Watrous, of El Paso, Tex.; Charles
A. Watrous, of Des Moines. The
mother died in 1914.
James M. Wickizer.
James M. Wickizer, formerly of
Plymouth, Ind., died at his home in
Hillsboro, Ore., February 2. The de-
ceased moved to Oregon in 1911 and
started a nursery and florists' business
at Hillsboro. His death followed a
stroke of heart failure January 10.
John Brown Weeks.
J. B. Weeks, a veteran grower of
Chicago, died February 9 at his home,
4041 Patterson avenue, Irving Park,
Chicago. Mr. Weeks was born July
23, 1832, in Chertsey, Surrey county,
England, and immigrated to America
when 17 years of age. He remained
in the east for several years, but in
1852 he moved to Chicago, where for
many years he was employed by
A. Williams, George Wittbold and
Edgar Sanders. A short time after the
Chicago fire, in 1871, Mr. Weeks made
his home in St. Louis, but returned to

funeral took place from his late resi-

OBPETS IN TBOUBLE.
Will Orpet, 21 years of age, son of
E. O. Orpet, of Lake Forest, 111., is in
jail during the investigation of the
death of Marion Lambert, 18 years of
age, daughter of Frank Lambert, gar-
dener on the W. J. Kuppenheimer es-
tate. Orpet, Sr., is superintendent on
the estate of C. H. McCormick and is
widely known in the gardening profes-
sion.
The Lambert girl was found dead in
a woods at Lake Forest on the morning
of February 10. The authorities claim
to have established the fact that she
died of poisoning with cyanide of potas-
sium. The relations between the girl
and young Orpet, a student at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, were such as to
turn inquiry his way. The develop-
ments in the case have been a leading
news feature in the Chicago dailies for
a week.
For twenty years E. O. Orpet was
in charge of the E. V. R. Thayer estate
at South Lancaster, Mass., where he
established so good a reputation that
when Cyrus H. McCormick was looking
for a man to develop a new estate at
Lake Forest he could find no one with
better qualifications. He made Mr.
Orpet offers which resulted in his mov-
ing west with his family July 1, 1910.
The McCormick property adjoins that
of Kuppenheimer, where Frank Lam-
bert has been employed for many years.
Bichmond, Ind. — William H. Garden-
er, formerly manager of the P. J. ding-
er greenhouses at Newcastle, now is
proprietor of the Knopf Floral Co. here,
making a specialty of carnations. In
addition to growing cut flowers for
wholesale markets, he plans to develop
a business in rooted cuttings.

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.
Many a wholesaler has noted that the
man who buys with a nod greets the col-
lector with a shake of the head.
Green dye is reported scarce. We
should worry! If it proves non est
comeatable there still will be enough to
supply our personal requirements in the
way of disfigured carnations. How
about you?
"It's in the funeral work we make our
money." How often have you heard it
said? There are a good many retailers
who, if they would list the material they
use in each design, might modify their
ideas a bit.
The annual report of the S. A. F. be-
comes more voluminous each year. The
book for 1915, being sent out this week
by Secretary Young, contains 364 pages.
It carries an immense amount of matter
for record and reference.
If your collections are not satisfactory,
question yourself about your system.
Every florist always will have a few
tough nuts to crack, no matter how care-
fully he gives credit, but in general pay-
ments now are more prompt than nornial.
It simply needs a system for the purpose
to get the money.
Conditions in the wholesale cut flower
markets the last two months have op-
erated to the special advantage of the
grower whose stock is of indifferent qual-
ity. Short roses, split carnations and
low grade powers in general have brought
prices that were, quality considered, bet-
ter than what has been obtained for the
best stock.
The S. a. F. board of directors will
hold its annual meeting at Philadelphia
during the last week in March.
Feeesia, in the days of refracta alba
one of the least considered flowers, has
come to be classed among the aristocrats,
principally used for corsage bouquets,
table work and fine baskets.
The Worcester County Horticultural
Society has issued a schedule of the
premiums for its exhibitions during 1916.
Copies may be obtained by addressing
Herbert R. Kenney, secretary. Horticul-
tural hall, Worcester, Mass.
The Philadelphia newspapers certainly
are giving the National Flower Show
publicity wholly without precedent. Other
flower shows have had good local adver-
tising, but never anything like what the
Philadelphia show is getting.

Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Review $2, $3, or some-
times $5, instead of the dollar bill that
insures fifty-two visits of the paper.

AGAIN, CAN YOU BEAT IT?
The ease with which surplus plant
stock is converted into cash is one of
the remarkable features of the business
as it stands today. Whatever may be
the case with cut flower markets, pro-
duction of plants, and particularly of
plants for growing on, has by no means
overtaken the demand. The evidence:
Please cut out the dractena ad, as I am com-
pletely sold out. The result from the ad in
ITie Review far exceeded my expectations. —
James Frost, Greenville, O., January 31, 1916.
I'lensf cliscontiinie iny nets, as I nm sold out.
Very good work by The Review, thank you. —
Peter Morgen, Huntingburg, Ind., February 2,
1916.
Any man who has anything to sell and does
not put an ad In The Review misses the best
business in the business. The little geranium ad
we put in for one issue kept us up nights send-
ing money hack after the stock was all sold. —
Harry W. Blake, Mgr. PInehurst Garden Co.,
Pleasant Hill, Mo., February 4, 1016.
When you hear a man complaining
of the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.
ADVERTISING THE GREENHOUSE.
One of the natural tendencies of the
times is for the greenhouse man who
retails to resort to the use of printers'
ink to increase his sales. The old cus-
tom of waiting for the people to come
no longer suflSces; there are too many
selling flowers. Not only is much news-
paper space now being used to call at-
tention to greenhouses, but the green-
house owner prints a catalogue that he
scatters through the town. It shows
many cuts and quotes prices. The only
trouble with such a catalogue is that it
is a bit expensive to get out a good
job, that it is more or less short-lived
and that it cannot be repeated except
at infrequent intervals.
SPRING IS NEAR.
The season of short supplies in cut
flower markets has been of unusually
great duration this year, but the sun
has become perceptibly stronger and
no further scarcity, even of roses, is to
be anticipated. Spring is near. As a
rimer, not fond of February, put it:
Thirteen more days, Iceincrusted;
Then old Winter's backbone's busted.
FLOWER SHOW I.EOTURES.
Although one frequently finds florists
in the audiences at flower show lectures,
these lectures are designed to foster
public interest in gardening; they
should not be, and usually are not, tech-
nical or commercial. That the public
is eager for gardening talks is shown
by the large audiences that nearly
always greet the lectures.
At the National Flower Show in
Philadelphia it is planned to take full
advantage of the public interest in
gardening instruction, and the follow-
ing unusually elaborate program has
been arranged:
Saturday evening, March 25, Willis N. Rudd,
of Chicago, will lecture on "Home Grounds."
Monday evening, March 27, Prof. E. A. White,
of Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., will lecture
on "What Science Has Done for Floriculture."
Tuesday evening, March 28, Robert Pyle, of
West Grove, Pa., will lecture on "Roses," illus-
trated with slides from Mr. Pyle's own photo-
graphs.
Wednesday evening, March 29, J. Horace
McFarland, president of the American Civic
Association, will lecture on "Civics for Home
and Municipality,"
Thursday evening, March 30, J. Otto Thilow,
of Philadelphia, who is chairman of the lecture
committee, will give a lecture under the auspices
of tilt' (iiirden Clubs of America, on "Flowers
From Snow to Snow."
Friday evening, March 31, Frank N. Meyer,
of the Department of Agriculture, Washington,
will lecture on "Agricultural Exploration In
China."
Saturday evening, April 1, Arthur Gowee, of
Berlin, N. Y., will lecture on "Gladioli."
The afternoon lectures, for which the dates
liave not yet been fixed, will embrace a lecture
on "Rock Gardens," by Richard Rothe; Miss
Caro Miller will give a lecture on "Philadelphia
School Gardens"; E. I. Wilde, of State College,
Pa., will lecture on "Bulbs for Summer Bloom."
There will be a lecture on "Dahlias,", lecturer
not yet announced. Max Schling, of New York,
will demonstrate the proper use of cut flowers,
their arrangement and color combination.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
There has been no radical change in
Chicago market conditions during the
last week in respect of supply. De-
mand, however, has been puzzling. To
begin with, the shipping demand for
St. Valentine's day was satisfactorily
heavy and quite continuous. Local de-
mand, on the other hand, was fairly
good up to February 13. Then it took
a slump from which it failed utterly to
recover. Some of the wholesalers at-
tribute this to the heavy snow storm
that persisted the entire day of Feb-
ruary 13 and to the fact that St. Val-
entine's day fell on Monday, a day
that has never been popular as a flower
day in Chicago. Be that as it may, the
day fell far short of the expectations
of most of the local retailers.
Although a few Beauties still reach
the market, the quality is disappointing,
and as a consequence many wholesalers
are recommending the use of Russell
in their stead. The supply of other
roses in slightly easier, but not enough

Here is a fine supply
of Fancy Carnations
BEING a wide-awake buyer, you no doubt noted that at
our growers took most of the premiums that did not
good growers "downcast" (where middle-western re-
tailers can't get at the stock), but NOTHING IN THIS
SECTION TO COMPARE WITH THE STOCK WE
HANDLE. Most buyers whose stock must make a journey
to them have found by experience it never pays to buy
poorly grown Carnations — that it pays to pay for quahty.
But Amling's prices never are higher than others ask if
they have stock of equal grade.

SO to make any marked diflference in
the market. The Valentine's day de-
mand was unusually strong for Milady,
Eichmond, Ophelia and Cecile Brunner,
but a large part of it was doomed to
disappointment. Dark weather has con-
tinued through the greater part of the
week, and this has, as a matter of
course, held back the crops.
No difficulty is experienced in dis-
posing of all fancy and good grade
carnations. The large number of splits,
however, that find no ready sale are
well calculated to give the impression
that there is a superabundance of car-
nations. The red varieties enjoyed a
particularly strong demand for the holi-
day. There is no end of bulbous stock
on the market, but it moves well con-
sidering its large volume. Tulips are
selling well, especially the pinks. Jon-
quils are clearing, and this in spite of
the fact that the heavy influx from
the south is on. Daffodils are clearing,
but not rapidly. So, too, are Paper
"Whites. Freesia is a free seller and does
not tarry long on the tables. Sweet
peas have lost none of their popularity.
Valley continues to focus attention on
itself by flirting with the extreme
short side of the market. There has
been no great effort to secure lilies, al-
though the supply is none too large.
Snapdragons, mignonette, pansies and
calendulas are moving in a satisfactory
manner. The holiday demand for vio-
lets was unusually large in some quar-
ters, but low prices prevailed. Cat-
tleyas are still scarce.
Sprengeri seems to have acquired the
short habit, but plumosus is again easy.
Greens in general are moving, but not
with any disturbing rapidity. Boxwood
is in larger supply than usual at this
date and is not selling so fast as in
former years.
Was It Lack of Advertising?
A few of the Chicago retailers had
fine business for St. Valentine's day,
but the rank and file report it by no
means up to last year. What is the
reason?
Last year, of course, February 14
was Sunday, which is a better day than
Monday for selling gift flowers. But
last year, there being plenty of low

in which this sturdy servant is satisfying the demands

Why? Why do they stick?
There must be a reason for intelligent, tight-fisted
Florists to continue to buy from the same House year
after year, even generation after generation.
Just now is an exceptionally good time to put us to
the test. Especially in Carnations and Freesia, we
can furnish stock of the most satisfying quality in
unlimited quantities.

tise as well as for the progressive ones
who bought and so well filled the space.
Recently stock has been so high the
retailers have done little advertising;
only two or three used small spaces for
St. Valentine's.
Was it for the lack of publicity that
sales fell off!
Various Notes.
The E. C. Amling Co. ke^t its store
open all day Sunday, February 13, and
the management states it was 4 p. m.
before there was a breathing spell. The
sales of violets in the four days end-
ing Sunday are said to have been
678,000. A novelty was to see acacia
from the Pacific coast on one table and
from the Atlantic coast on an adjoining
table, the latter of course flowered
under glass. Both grades are said to
have sold well for Valentine's day.
Charles Erne went to Michael Reese
hospital February 13 and was operated
on next day for rupture of long stand-
ing. He is getting along splendidly.
In the meantime Fred Klingel has two
new assistants, Frank Konczal on the
floor and Albert Hennig in the office.
Mr. Konczal has been with C. W. Mc-
Kellar.
It is announced that Peter Reinberg
will be a delegate to the Democratic
national convention at St. Louis in
June,
Word comes from Anton Then, who
recently went to Magnolia Springs,
Ala., for his health, that he has much
improved since reaching the southland.
Mr. Then is accompanied by his wife.
Health and strength have been so far
recovered bj' .John Poehlmann that he
was able to enjoy an automobile ride
in the heavy snow storm of February
13. He is now able to take short walks
in the neighborhood of his home and
hopes to be in his office in a week or
ten days. August and Adolph Poehl-
mann have recovered from their cases
of grip.
During the recent visit of J. A.
Evans, he took orders from Bassett &
Washburn for twenty-four Challenge
ventilating machines, from L. A. Bud-
long Co. for forty-eight machines, and
from George Weiland for fifteen ma-
chines, with several smaller orders. Mr.
Evans comments that it looks like a
large building season in the Chicago
market.

to pay for quality, and the other re-
tailers have given him a cordial wel-
come.
That the giganteum lily has only just
begun to be a general purpose flower
and that the next five years will see
a wonderful increase in its use is the
belief of W. G. Gaddis, of Deerfield.
Mr. Gaddis has four houses and uses
practically all his space for lilies.
Where a few years ago the effort was
to flower the lilies all for one day,
Mr. Gaddis aims to cut every day in
the year. He starts on the average
1,000 bulbs per week.
Two carloads of greenhouse building
material have been unloaded at Greggs,
111., by the .Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co.
This is th^ first step toward the con-
struction of ten new houses, each 28x
300 feet, for Bassett & Washburn.
Work will begin as soon as weather
permits. According to C. L. Washburn,
all the Beauty plants will be moved
into the new houses when they are
completed. There are now growing in
the houses at Greggs some 54,000 Beauty
plants. When the removal takes place
the number will be reduced to about
35,000. A most interesting fact was
brought out in connection with this re-
duction. O. P. Bassett was the first
man to grow American Beauties on a
large scale in the west. Since then, for
twenty-seven years, Beauties have been
growing on the benches in the Hinsdale
greenhouses. Mr. Washburn says when
they first started with this variety, 24
to 28-inch stems were considered long.
Now 60-inch stems cause no comment.
Since the advent of the newer varieties,
however, he says the demand for Beau-
ties has been slowly receding. His firm
is acknowledging this waning of its
popularity by reducing the space de-
voted to it by fully one-third.

A most interesting assortment of

the eye alone cannot detect the differ-
ence.
The Chicago market conditions are
much more interesting to Otto Frese
than law suits against the street car
company for personal injuries. His
only solace is that he can snatch a
few minutes from jury service each
day to spend at his desk.
To demonstrate that he believes in
practicing what he preaches, Allie
Zech, of Zech & Mann, has signified his
intention of attending the convention
of the Illinois State Florists' Associa-
tion at Moline.
There are few seasons at which W.
H. Amling, at Maywood, is not cutting
some crop of superlative quality. In
the autumn it is mums; now it is Purity
freesia; a little later it will be sweet
peas planted from pots to follow the
mums and only waiting for a little
sun to give a splendid pick.
True to promise, Henry M. Hirsch
opened his new store at 37 East Van
Buren street, February 12, and was
fully repaid for his diligence.
Excellent success has attended the
efforts of A. Eriksson, manager of A. H.
Schneider's greenhouses in Oak Park.
His pot plants are of quality not easy
to beat.

class of stock. The stock is slowly im-
proving and the cut is being moved
with little difficulty at fair prices.
Violets and sweet peas were in great
demand for St. Valentine's day and
brought good prices. Sweet peas were
not equal to the demand and orders
were turned down. There was a good
percentage of singles in the violet cut
and these naturally took precedence
over .the doubles. Orchids cleaned up
at high prices and short roses were
not to be had at the finish.
Valley remains scarce and the qual-
ity is poor. There is no trouble to
dispose of the entire cut, regardless of
quality, and the prices are fair. Bulb-
ous stock is plentiful and is selling
well. The shortage of roses is respon-
sible for this to some extent and, be-
sides, the quality of the stock is ex-
cellent.

PHILADELPHIA.
The lilarket.
Zero weather had a chilling effect on
St. Valentine's day business. There was
a fairly good demand, but everybody
agrees that it was not so strong as it
would have been with favorable weath-
er on Lincoln's birthday and the two
days following. While the weather was
unfavorable for production — rain, heavy
clouds, snow and extreme cold are hard-
ly just the thing — it was even more un-
favorable for shopping. It requires
genuine enthusiasm to select a suitable
floral offering for the dearest girl in the
world when you have wet, cold feet,
come a cropper or get caught in a car
tie-up; any one is deterring, all three
are disheartening. So you see that it is
not so .remarkable that Valentine 's day
did not exceed last year's in activity;
it was, in fact, a little disappointing.
Still, business has been fair for the
week ending February 16.
Eoses and valley have been quite
scarce. Daffodils and tulips have been
overplentiful. There has been a curious
color condition in the market; white
roses have been scarce and in active
demand, while white carnations have
been plentiful with many wholesalers
and extremely hard to sell. The ex-
planation given is that there are many
cases where white carnations are of no
use to the buyer who wants white roses;
so they drag badly. Sweet peas have
been in active demand; bud-dropping
has again interfered seriously with pro-
duction, owing, of course, to the unfa-
vorable weather and, perhaps, to undue
pushing. Easter lilies have declined a
little in the face of heavy receipts; on
the lower level of prices they sell
better.
There are no other special features to
the market excepting that the violet
was not the favorite of old as Cupid's
messenger. A few retailers talked vio-
lets and bought them freely at lower
prices than had been expected, but most

of them preferred red roses or sweet
peas or some novelty that spoke of indi-
viduality more strongly than our old
friend the violet. Greens are becoming
more plentiful. Heavy shipments of
southern asparagus, added to the new
growth in the local greenhouses, afford
an ample supply.
For the Honor of the City.
It is generally conceded by those who
are in a position to know that the great
National Flower Show to be held here
next month will surpass any of its kind
ever seen in this country. There is just
one possible exception that can be taken
to the truth of this statement. It lies
in the exhibits of the retail florists.
Every branch of our profession is cer-
tain of worthy representation save that
one. Yet without the earnest coopera-
tion of the retail florists the show can-
not be the success that it ought to be.
It matters little whether a retail florist
exhibits in the competitive or in the
non-competitive classes; the point is
that he should exhibit something wor-
thy of his reputation. These exhibits
of the retail florists are one of the
most attractive, if not the most attrac-
tive, of all the varied displays that
make a modern show. For the honor of
February 17, 1916.

iiished the following report of a more
than usual coal situation:
The demand for anthracite coal is
strong and full circular prices are in
effect. Steam sizes of anthracite coal
are scarce and premium prices are be-
ing paid for them. The premiums, how-
ever, at this time are not so large as
those which prevailed about ten days
to two weeks ago.
There is a serious shortage of cars,
the distribution not being over sixty
per cent, which is an unusual condition
in the anthracite field. To many mar-
kets it is practically impossible to make
deliveries, owing to embargoes placed
by the railroads. Movement of cars to
final destinations is slow, because of the
congested conditions that prevail on all
railroads. Many railroads will not per-
mit their cars to go off their own or
allied lines; in other words, will not
permit them to go to foreign roads.
Bituminous coal is strong in price
and slow in movement, the car supply
being wretched, and the same condi-
tions that exist in the anthracite field
apply. Prices are not nearly so high
as they were, but still strong.
Negotiations now are on between the
operators' and miners' representatives
relative to the situation after April 1,
for at that time the present agree-
ments with the mine workers in the
anthracite and bituminous fields expire,
and unless negotiations are brought to
a satisfactory conclusion to both par-
ties there is likely to be a suspension
of mining April 1.
Various Notes.
A small fire occurred in one of the
Market street boiler rooms at the Kob-
ert Craig Co. place on the morning of
February 14. It was zero weather and
the woodwork close to the smokestack
started the fire about 6 o'clock, when
the night firemen were being relieved
by the day firemen. Fortunately, the
blaze was extinguished and the loss
trifling.
It is with deep regret that Philadel-
phians will learn of the death of Mrs.
M. C. Dunn, wife of the well known
florist of 614 Chestnut street, whose
kindly greeting welcomed one and all.

Valentine's day a few years ago was
called "Ldttle Christmas" by the
flower growers in this section, but today
it has outgrown that name and can
take its place with the other big days
of the year. Corsage flowers of all
kinds, of course, were the leaders, in-
cluding violets, sweet peas, valley, myo-
sotis, orchids, Ward roses, etc. Plants,
such as small and medium azaleas,
primulas, pans of daffodils, hyacinths
and tulips, sold better than ever before.
Cut stock of roses, carnations, tulips,
daffodils, etc., sold well, but not with
the rush that corsages and small plants
enjoyed.
Much was due to the advertising done
by the Florists' Club. Valentine's day
differs from the other big flower days
in that the buying is done in one or two
days, and that the weather must be
favorable for the wearing of corsages.
In the face of the zero weather of the
last four days the amount of business
done was remarkable. Some store men
stocked up with a full line of plants,
giving their stores the appearance of
Easter week, and they cleaned up. A
large quantity of bulbous stock was on
the market.

"Young Gardeners and Their Opportu-

The Market.
Pittsburgh recently has had all the
different kinds of weather on the calen-
dar, but the worst was the rain all day
Saturday, February 12. Sunday morn-
ing there were six inches of snow and
next morning the temperature was 6
degrees below zero. Stock is plentiful
enough, except roses; there is not
enough sunshine to bring them along.
Bulbous stock, however, is becoming a
drug. Still, the wholesale houses are
cleaning up every day and they report
trade as good.
Various Notes.
The retail storemen certainly "did
themselves proud" for St. Valentine's
day, in the way of window decorations.
Mrs. E. A. Williams showed valentine
boxes arranged in so striking a way
that each box was a picture. They
were not cheap, but were beautiful.
The A. W, Smith Co. displayed cor-
sage bouquets in many styles, includ-
ing the miniature colonial styles of cor-
sages; also vases of orchids.
The Blind Floral Co. had valentine
boxes and small baskets, arranged in a
most attractive way.
R. J. Daschbach displayed strikingly
beautiful basket arrangements.
Kandolph & McClements have an ef-
fective way of using plant arrange-
ments, as well as cut flowers, for valen-
tines, and they certainly had a busy
time.
G. P. Weaklen & Co. find the many
styles of tumbler baskets, when prop-
erly arranged, to be greatly in demand
for St. Valentine's day, as well as heart
boxes, to carry the many ideas in cor-
sages.
Miss E. B. Maxwell's force had to
work to the limit to keep up with the
demand for love tokens.
All of these people had handsome
windows, and in each case the window

Last week saw p^lentyof '■ousiness and
during the last thiree days "-orders to be
delivered Valentine's day piled up al-
most like advance orders for Christ-
mas. There had t* een goo(i_ advertising
emphasizing the appropr -lateness of
flowers as YalentirM.es. Sur^sly everyone
should be pleased with the results.
Everything- of valxie was a»old by noon
except a few plants s, in the stores I had
the opportunity to visit, TThis is as it
should be. There is no da^y when flow-
ers and the sentiinent of " "the occasion
seem to harmonize so well a « « on the day
dedicated to lover s. But, sslas, the cut
of roses was far too small to meet the
requirements, and carnatioizns do not ap-
peal to many people as the proper
flower at this time . They visvere sold out
completely merelj^ becausae there was
little else left. Violets mdB. valley -v^ere
plentiful, and as t^heywere^ more in de-
mand than anything else tx:.hey sold out
early.
There were a fe-w daffod. _ils from out-
doors, but forced stockwaaj. in good, sup-
ply. One of tho largest growers as-
sured me that a-11 of hi ; s stock: was
forced from bulbs* of his C3wn gro"wing,
they having been lifted in '•ftime to force.
Pot plants did not sell so -tisvell as heart-
shaped boxes of c. Tit flower — s, but it was
surprising how leirge the demand for
them was.

only ordinary. Jonquils and daffodils
are plentiful and of good quality. Some
of the finest tulips and hyacinths that
ever came to the city were seen last
week. Bulbous stock of all kinds now
is plentiful, but there is a shortage in
other lines of cut flowers that is only
relieved by blooming plants. Violets,
snapdragon and Easter lilies are all in
demand and do not remain on the mar-
ket long. The market is well cleaned
up each evening.
Various Notes.
W. J. Barnes has purchased a Stude-
baker delivery car. The car was on
exhibition at the automobile show with
his name on the side. If it was viewed
by 100,000 persons, the estimated at-
tendance, it surely was a good adver-
tisement for Mr. Barnes.
Sanrael Murray had an attractive
Valentine's day window display last
week, consisting of a large red immor-
telle heart surrounded and set off by
eut flowers, plants, baskets, etc.

More Profit In Flowers
The sooner your cut flowers are marketed
the larger your profits. The display which
appeals will sell them. Every florist's experi-
ence confirms this statement.
If it were possible for you to compare the value of
a refrigerator that really preserved with one that
wasted stock and ice you would be astonished at
the difference in dollars and cents during the year.
The poor refrigerator which may have cost less at the
start would show up mighty expensive in the end.

The Market.
Another snovr storm spoiled to some
extent the anticipated strength of the
week-end market and left the whole-
salers well supplied with everything
but roses for the Valentine's day de-
mand. Many of the retailers featured
this occasion with elaborately and ap-
propriately decorated windows.
American Beauties are scarce and
high, 75 cents each being the price of
the comparatively few selects. The
best Hadley roses are held at 50 cents
each. The fancy stock of all the novel-
tiep holds firm, the low grades also be-
ing freely taken at the prevailing quota-
tions. Carnations are abundant, but
only the finest novelties sell above $25
per thousand. The general quotation on
these February 12 was $20. A few of
the new kinds sold at $3 per hundred.
Large shipments are promised for this
week.
Valley rose to $4 per hundred Feb-
ruary 12 — a temporary advance, it is
generally conceded. Longiflorum lilies
sold at 10 cents each for the selects,
the tendency of price being downward.
There was a slight advance in orchids,
and a recession is not looked for. Or-
chids have had a sad time of it for
many weeks, but "it's a long lane that
has no turning." Gardenias hold won-
derfully well and for first-class flowers
high prices prevail. Violets are disap-
pointing and are cheapened by the men
of the streets. Some of the stock is
superb, but little sold over 25 cents per
hundred. Callas are far down for the
low grades and daffodils and narcissi
have dropped to 25 cents or less per

The club decided to have the annual
banquet and T. B. De Forest was ap-
pointed chairman of the committee. The
discussion was participated in by
Messrs. O'Mara, Schenck, Scott, Bun-
yard, Esler, Guttman, Manda, Holt and
Sheridan. Oratory will be interned and
dancing provided at the banquet.
The club decided to omit the annual
outing this year.
J. H. Pepper's paper was in answer
to the query, "Has the Carnation
Beached Its Zenith?" It was followed
by a practical discussion by Messrs.
Stumpp, Esler, Irwin, Sheridan and
Guttman.
The display of carnations was ex-
tremely fine. The exhibits, with the
awards of the judges, were as follows:
Laddie, a seedling of Pink Delight, staged by
R. J. Irwin, for F. Dorner & Sons Co., La
Fayette, Ind. A pink variety of great size and
beauty, to be disseminated in 1918; 86 points.
The same firm also sent Rosalia, a bright cerise,
scoring 85 pointti; Old Gold, yellow with a tinge
of red, highly commended, and Nancy, a salmon
pink, highly commended. The flowers were in
fine condition, notwithstanding the long trip
and severe cold.
Arawana, dark crimson, by A. N. Plerson,
Inc., scored 85 points.
Alice Gluck, a salmon pink, shown by H.
Weston, scored 85 points; Mrs. J. H. Pepper,
variegated, scored 85 points.
A. N. Plerson showed Alice, receiving a vote
of thanks.
Laura Weber, from Cbas. Weber, staged by
Guttman & Raynor, received a vote of thanks.
Red Wing, from W. A. Dawson, WilUmantic,
Conn., scored 85 points.
Crystal White, from Cottage Gardens, scored
85 points; Cottage Maid scored 86 points.

nated as rose night.
Permanent Exposition Show.
The second flower show held under
the auspices of the Country Life Per-
manent Exposition at the Grand Cen-
tral Terminal, New York, February 10

much so that those in authority have
decided to have another flower show

Mrs. H. Darlington, Seven Oaks, Mamaroneek,

dener for W. E. Rels, Greenwich, Conn., first;
Thomas Ryan, superintendent for John Downey,
Portchester, N. Y., second; A. W. Golding,
superintendent for D. G. Reld, Irvington-on
Hudson, N. Y., third.
Twelve carnations — Robert Grunert, first;
A. W.. Golding, second; A. Bauer, gardener for
Henry Goldman, Deal Beach, N. J., third.
Table decoration of roses or carnations — S.
Golding, gardener for Mrs. Ridley Watts, Mor-
ristown, N. J., first; Rudolph Heidkamp, gar-
dener for Mrs. Pauline Boeliger, Rlverdale-on-
Hudson, N. Y., second: P. W. Popp. third.

Special commendations for the fol-
lowing were made:

Bieschke, Noroton, Conn.
Tulips— P. W. Popp.
Sweet peas — Robert Grunert.
Bowling.
A special bowling match was played
February 10 by John Donaldson,
A. Donaldson, Jr., and Frank Niquet
against Messrs. Scott, Miesem and
Fenrich, in which the Patchogue trio
were beaten, losing both dinner and
reputation. The club rolled its regu-

Vaxious Notes.
Tuesday, March 28, will be New York
day at the National Flower Show in
Philadelphia. President Bowe says the
American and Greek-American retail
societies will attend 400 strong. The
New York Florists' Club and other
horticultural societies near New York
will send 400 more. The entire cost of
the trip, including dinner and admis-
sion to the show, is $3.25.
Wednesday, February 16, the Horti-
cultural Society of New York held an
exhibition at the Museum of National
History.
Messrs. Goldstein and Futterman
have entered the ranks of the whole-
salers and have secured an excellent
location at 102 West Twenty-eighth
street. Goldstein & Futterman is the
name of the new company. Mr.
Goldstein was for nine years connected
with the greater New York Wholesale
Co., and has been with Guttman & Ray-
nor, Inc., one and one-half years. Mr.
Futterman has been foreman and sales-
man for Gunther Bros, for eighteen
years.
A disastrous percentage of the stock
arriving in the market February 14 was'
caught by the sudden fall to zero. The
losses through freezing were heavy and
the loss of business because of the cold
wave also cut a big hole. .
E. J. Irwin was at Cromwell, Conn.,
last week and is enthusiastic over the
new sweet pea, Pink Sensation, now
flowering at the Pierson place.
John Donaldson, John Miesem and
several others spent the week end, Feb-
ruary 12^ at C. W. Scott's place up
the Hudson.

ST. LOTTIS.
Tlie Market.
Much activity was displayed in the
wholesale district last week. Stock of
excellent quality was plentiful. The
latter part of the week saw a great
demand for violets, red roses and red
carnations. Prices on these went up.
St. Valentine's day caused this demand
and kept the leading retailers quite
busy. Violets, of course, were in great-
est demand. Carnations were excellent;
the best averaged $20 per thousand.
Bed carnations were sold at $40 per
thousand. Boses are not in oversup-
ply. The demand for fancies far ex-
ceeds the supply. Beauties are not of
extra good quality. Sweet peas have
been coming along better of late and a
nice assortment was seen last week.
The demand for bulbous stock has been
unusually large and it is cleaning up
daily. Valley, tulips, lilies. Von Sions,
callas and Paper Whites are all of extra
good quality. Common ferns are be-
coming scarce and asparagus is not
overplentiful, though there is a heavy
demand.
Olub Meeitlng.
The meeting of the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club, February 10, was interest-
ing to the fifty members present. Presi-
dent Bourdet was in the chair and all
the other officers were present. The
usual preliminaries were soon disposed
of.
A letter from John Young, secretary
of the S. A. F., was read. In it he
asked the members to make a special
effort to attend the National Flower
Show, at Philadelphia^ next month.
David Qeddis was appointed a commit-
tee of one on transportation and he
will have full charge of the trip.
Those elected to membership were
Albert Senger, Richard Jaenicke, H. W.
Enders, Carl Doerflinger, L. P. Jensen,
Fred O. Grossart and Edwin Juengel.
There was a recess of ten minutes for
a general introduction of the new mem-
bers. Five delinquent members were
dropped from the list.

trustees, reported that everything was

ing and for having been elected presi-
dent of the society. He asked the co-
operation of the members at the next
meeting of the society, at Indianapolis.
F. J. Fillmore, W. S. Wells and G.
Windier were appointed a committee
to draft resolutions on the death of
Max Pelletier.
A request was made to appoint a
committee of five to devise ways and
means of organizing a Missouri State
Florists' Association; this committee
to be announced by the chair at the
March meeting and to be allowed $50
for expenses.
At the next meeting of the club,
March 9, a miscellaneous flower show
will be held at one of the wholesale
houses.
W. W. Ohlweiler gave a lecture, with
blackboard illustrations, on "How New
Varieties of Flowers Are Created,"
which proved interesting to all.

W. A. Eowe, a member of the County
Growers' Association, informs me that
at the last meeting of the club J. E.
Pcllworth, of Chicago, lectured on
"Fertilizing." He said Mr. Pollworth
went into many details of plant grow-
ing. The subject will be taken up
again at the next meeting, March 1.
President F. W. Ude, Jr., still is in
Florida and Vice-president W. J. Ed-
wards presides over the meetings like
a veteran.
Miss Stolle, who, in behalf of Grimm
& Gorly, presented to President Wilson
a large bouquet on his recent visit here,
received a pleasing letter from Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson. Miss Stolle is
a niece of Vincent and Frank Gorly.
Mrs. Buechel, head of the Biessen
Floral Co., says they have had a heavy
run of business. Mr. Buechel has been
on the sick list for some time, but is
now fully recovered.
H. W. Enders, Charles W. Fullgraf
and L. Baumann, landscape architects,
say they have plenty of large contracts
for this spring and that an extra force
of men will be required to complete
the work in time.
The five wholesale houses disposed of
250,000 California violets for St. Valen-
tine's day.
Waldbart, Ayres, Windier, Schoenle,
Eggeling and Bergstermann were among
the Grand avenue florists who made
pretty window displays for St. Valen-
tine's day. These displays attracted
many buyers and all report a splendid
business.

damaged by recent wind storms, are
now in fairly good shape to resume
business.
The prompt opening of the club meet-
ing, at 2 o'clock, had a good effect on
the members, as a large number were
present. This seems only fair to our
suburban members, who come from a
distance and want to get home early.
A visit to the various seed houses
found all hands busy filing up seed
bins and mailing catalogues, prepara-
tory to an early spring business, which
is expected to be heavy.
The Betail Florists' Association will
hold its monthly meeting February 21,
at the Mission Inn Garden. Secretary
F. C. Weber. Jr., says some interesting
subjects will be up for discussion.
The following suburban florists were
seen in the wholesale district last week:
W. A. Kowe, Phil Goebel, John Connon,
Joseph Hauser, Charles Johann, J. F.
Ammann, George Madsen, Ed. Denker,
W. J. Edwards, W. E. Ogle, Charles
Meyer, Hugo Gross, Joseph Deutsch-
mann, W. J. Pilcher and K. A. Wolfs-
berger. J. J. B.
NORTHAMPTON, MASS.
The monthly meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club was held February 8 at
E. J. Canning's, the Prospect Heights
Nursery, Northampton. There was a
gratifying attendance and President
Butler kept things moving in good
style. By unanimous vote it was de-
cided to change the meeting night from
the second to the first Tuesday of each
month, to take effect at the March
meeting. On behalf of the members
G. H. Sinclair presented a gold stick-
pin to our worthy secretary, James
Whiting, as a slight token of apprecia-
tion of his good work in that office
during the last four years.
Instead of a paper being read and
discussed, each member brought a ques-
tion on a slip of paper. These were
shuffled and drawn, and members were
allowed five minutes to answer. Facial
expressions during the brain-racking
process were a fine study. The plan
was a great success; each member had
to be heard from and the questions
were such as to uncork much useful
information.

A Central News war special states
that the Danish government has prohib-
ited all exports of turnip, beet and similar
kinds of seed.
The Nebraska Seed Co., of Omaha,
Neb., has purchased nineteen acres of
land near Omaha, which will be used for
growing onion seed.
QiOANTEUMS from cold storage today
are worth fifty per cent more than the
prices at which the principal forcers con-
tracted for this season's supply.
A RECENT fire at the Ames Seed Co.
storehouse, near Ames, la., destroyed
seeds and other property valued at $6,000.
An insurance of $4,000 was realized on.
Among those who visited the Chicago
seed trade last week waa Fred Hunter,
of the Hunter Seed Co., San Francisco,
Cal. Mr. Hunter was on his way east.
The Lake Shore Seed Co., of Dunkirk,
N. Y., has purchased a 130-acre farm
near Dunkirk, which will be devoted to
seed raising and testing. Greenhouses
will be erected this year.
That there is an improved tone to
business at large is the opinion of A. H.
Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago,
who says his house has been unusually
busy during the last week.
Seedsmen are wondering what the
spring flowering season will bring them
from those who bought bulbs last autumn.
If the stock planted outdoors gives no
better account of itself than the forced
bulbs are doing, explanations will be dif-
fipult.
Condon Bros., of Eockford, 111., were
awarded by the State Board of Adminis-
tration, Springfield, 111., contracts for
supplying seeds to the various state in-
stitutions for this year. They secured
the awards on practically all of the com-
petitive bids.
The Farmer Seed & Nursery Co., of
Faribault, Minn., has purchased the busi-
ness of the Faribault Seed Co., of the
same city. The business will be contin-
ued under the old name as the uptown
retail store. The Faribault Seed Co.
has been in existence about twenty years.
The Farmer Seed & Nursery Co. reports
a record-breaking mail order business up
to this date; as compared with the pre-
vious season an increase of sixty per cent
is sHoVn. The item most sought for is

Rochester White
Gladiolus
The ONLY PURE WHITE of COMMERCIAL VALUE
The value of this variety is its color. The purest white ever offered.
Its general growth, vigor and erectness give it first place among the
standard varieties.
There is no question about this variety being not only the best white,
but the only white Gladiolus of commercial value today.
The facts that the petals are pure white clear into the throat, and that
the anthers and pollen are white, place it in a class superior to any
other so-called white variety. In usefulness this variety will answer
perfectly in the place of any solid white flower, and can be used for
every purpose heretofore exclusively supplied by Lilies.
The plant is strong and vigorous and grows very erect. The spikes are
well supported and large, averaging three feet in height. The green
foliage is broad and clean. Productive in both bulb and flower.
ROCHESTER WHITE has won all the premiums offered for the best
white, wherever exhibited, for the past four successive years.

seed corn, according to A. H. Luck, sec-
retary.
How much of the corn will be fit for
seed purposes T And what should one do
before the facts become known f
This is a trade of contradictions. Not
many months ago the appearances were
that (German valley would be a famine
in 1916, and Japanese lilies a surplus.
Today almost the' opposite is the case;
giganteum bulbs are scarce and valley
pips seek a market.
Eeports from California seed-growing
districts confirm the statement made in
this column while communication was cut
off by floods. There has been much rain
where seeds are grown, delaying work,
but the floods that received so much at-
tention from the newspapers were not in
the seed valleys.
Now that the important seed cata-
logues all have been distributed, it ap-
pears that few houses have made the at-
tempt to cut costs save by some reduction
in the edition made possible by dropping
dead names from mailing lists. Quite
the contrary, some of the books show
marked improvement through skillful
editing and typesetting.
Complaint is general regarding the un-
satisfactory flowering qualities of bulbs
this season. Paper Whites as well as
jonquils, daflfodDs, hyacinths and tulips
fail to flower; some come blind and some
do not develop good flowers. Now and
then a man is found who lays the trouble
to haste on the part of the producer, but
the general belief is that it is the result
of delays and heating in transit.,
The customs authorities are having con-
tinuous difficulty with the clause of the
tariff law that provides for the free ad-
mission of mother flowering bulbs im-
ported exclusively for propagating pur-
poses. Gladioli and orchids, according to
protests filed by customhouse brokers,
are largely imported under this head.
When fortified with the right evidence,
the protests are sustained.

FEEEY GETS IN BAD.
C. B, Coe and Theodore Cobb, of D.
M. Ferry & Co., were present at the
canners' convention at Louisville last
week and are believed to have had a
thoroughly enjoyable time until the
February 12 issue of the Saturday
Evening Post appeared on the news-
stands. On page 49 was a Ferry ad that
began:
STOP LIVING
OUT OB" CANS-
START A GARDEN
Which do you prefer— the fragrance of flowers,
or bottled perfume? Which do you prefer— ripe
fruits and Teg«table8, or the run of a canning
factory? In winter, home-grown fruits cannot
be available, but why unnecessarily prolong the
"season of cans"?
.^**Yxl°°? ^'""^^ y*>" tasted Peas that were
? licked the instant they were big enough to eat
oo tender to stand transportation? Do you
know that, as a rule, the very choicest varieties
of fruits and vegetables can never be tinned
or even brought to market, because they do not
possess fiber or rind or some such protection
against early wilting. Start a garden.
Whereupon the corn section of the
National Canners' Association adopted
this resolution:
Resolved, that Secretary Gorrell be requested
to notify p. M. Ferry & Co.. of Detroit, Mich.,
that in the opinion of the canners present at
this convention their advertisement which ap-
peared In the Saturday Evening Post, issue of
February 12, is extremely harmful to the best
Interests of our Industries.
Not content with that, the following
telegram was wired by the Western Can-
ners' Association through its secretary:
D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.:
I note with deep regret your advertisement
in this week's issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, and cannot help but believe you were not
cognizant of its real meaning before being pub-
lished. As It Is a gross injustice to the canning
Interests of America, I feel confident, however
to rely upon your deep sense of fairness to make
such reparations as the best interests of our
business demand.
G, W. DRAKE
Secretary Western Canners' Association.
MR. BAENAKD IN THE MOVIES.
The following letter is from John
Bodger, of Bodger & Sons, Los Angeles,

"I took Mr. Barnard out this after-
noon for a hundred-mile spin over Los

were fleeing from strikers and soldiers
over a river. Visitors took the part of
the citizens, so we joined the crowd.
Mr. Barnard couldn 't run very fast and
we were the last to cross the bridge,
and as the nurses and I pulled him off
the bridge they blew it up with powder.
He and I were carried up a little and
then, in the splash of water as the tem-
porary bridge fell, we got sprinkled
some. So we were star actors in a reel
which will be known as 'Graft,'
series No. 14, political play. If you
ever see it posted downtown, take it in
and see what kind of actors we are.
"Mr. Barnard is leaving tomorrow
morning (February 13) for his quiet
home in Santa Barbara, but we expect
to get him down here again a little
later."

OREER'S Extra Selected SWEET PEAS
We aim to confine our list of Sweet Peas to the very best varieties and only those
which can be used by florists for cutting. We have added a number of the choicest
new varieties of the Spencer type to our list this season.
Orchid -flowered or Spencer Sweet Peas
This type is distinguished from the grandiflora sorts by the .extraordinary size of
their flowers and by the standard being crinkled and wavy. They usually bear four
blossoms on a stem, and are as easy to grow as the commonest
sorts. A fair crop the past season enables us to offer them at
prices much lower than ever before.

To Book an Order
seems like play to some buyers. Do you know
my real work just begins after you have given
me your commands to fill your order, to serve
you? Do you realize ttiat right then and there
you become my Boss and 1 your servant? Have
you ever thought of it that way? Have you
ever stopped and considered the hours of hard
work and the hard earned cash, real money,
necessary to secure the right kind of bulbs to
fill your orders? No, it's not play, it's work,
real work, to give you quality and service for
your money. Yes. I have had "nightmares" and
felt like a mule the next day; that all goes in
the joys of the Business world.

sorts, single, $3.25 per 100; double, $4.00

The Market.
Valentine's day was a busy one for
the stores. Plants and cut flowers were
popular valentines, and for the cut flow-
ers appropriate boxes were much in
demand. Hyacinths, jonquils, ciner-
arias, azaleas and primroses were the
most in demand in the line of plants.
Roses are scarce, while carnations are
in good supply, the latter, however, be-
ing badly split.
Club Meeting.
The Evansville Florists' Club met
February 9 at the Karl Zeidler range
and had an enjoyable evening. N. O.
Halbrooks spoke on the carnation and
exhibited some fine long-stemmed sweet
peas. Theodore Kuebler showed a
bloom of the Dr. Enguehard mum.
After the meeting lunch was served
and then all visited the Zeidler green-
houses, which are lighted by electricity.
The next meeting will be held at the
residence of L. Fritsch, March 8. Wil-
liam Halbrooks will talk on Easter
plants of a generation ago, while the
vouneer members will talk of today.

a new deep scarlet of much promise, is
listed for 1917, while a seedling crim-
son, descended from Pocahontas for one
parent, but with a bloom far superior
to it, will be a 1918 debutante. Sensa-
tion, as seen here, is simply immense,
both in growth and bloom. A lovely
pink seedling is being carefully nur-
tured. White Wonder, Matchless and
Shasta are leaders in whites. A most
interesting experiment is being made
to determine, if possible, the reason
for the yellows, a disease prevalent
with many. Mr. Baur attributes this
disease to lack of nutrition, and has
twelve plants of Enchantress under

Easter Greeting in 7-inch azalea pots
bids fair to be a valuable asset at
Easter. Another profitable kind is the
winter-flowering buddleia. Grown to
one main shoot, the laterals of this
bloom freely after the flowering period
is over. Cuttings are taken and the
plants thrown out. Geraniums also are
a paying crop, not only as specimens,
grown in azalea pots on brackets
through the houses, together with
French hydrangeas, but also for sale
as rooted cuttings. A bed of Godfrey
callas is a paying proposition.

else than the queen of flowers, in 2-inch
pots.
The American Eose & Plant Co., of
Springfield, is unusually busy, and the
men have missed the activities of
Manager Henry Elwell, who has been
a victim of the grip.
Gustav Schneider, of Springfield, says
he docs not recall so large a demand for
funeral work as at this time. He was
doing dpuble duty, for his chauffeur
was a grip victim.
The Leedle FloralCo., of Springfield,
is growing a greater variety of roses
each year. It caters largely to re-
tailers.
Underwood Bros., of Columbus, O., say
that French ^Ibous .stock was never
more acceptable than at this season.
The heavy funeral work and the short-
age of bench flowers have made these
unusually valuable. Two carnation
growers came in during my visit and
exchanged views regarding two ship-
ments of rooted cuttings. Each had a
shipment from his grower and in both
cases a large percentage of the cuttings
were useless. While undoubtedly this
loss will be made good, it was agreed
that it does not give the small grower
a decent show and discourages his in-
vesting in new varieties the first year
of introduction.
S. F. Stephens & Son, of Columbus,
predict a shortage of geraniums be-
cause the wet fall prevented the usual
harvest of cuttings while the plants
were outside. This happened in many
localities.
George H. Mellen, of Sprin,gfield,
pointed to a batch of mail orders as a
good sign of an early spring.

BORDEAUX FOB CUCUMBEES.
Will you kindly tell us the method
to follow in spraying seedling cucum-
bers in the house with Bordeaux mix-
ture? Are the stock solutions on the
market reliable, and how should they
be diluted for use on cucumbers?
H. B.— Ohio.
The stock solutions of Bordeaux mix-
ture on the market are usually relia-
ble, but it is a comparatively simple
matter to make your own, of which you
can be absolutely sure. Dissolve six
pounds of copper sulphate, or blue vit-
riol, in five gallons of water, placing the
copper in a bag. In another vessel, a
wooden one, dissolve four pounds of
quicklime or six pounds of air-slaked
lime. Suspend the lime in a bag in five
gallons of water. Pour the lime water,
when cool, into a barrel with the cop-
per solution and stir thoroughly. Add
water to make the total mixture forty
gallons. Always stir well before using.
This is a normal mixture, but you would
be well advised to use care in spraying
cucumbers, especially when they are
small. C. W.

Hamilton, Micli.— F. Keith has

Columbus, O. — J. R. Clark is pushing
the florists' department in the Green-
Joyce department store. He has liberal
advertising backing and ran a large St.
Valentine's day ad in the local papers
and as a double-page spread in the pro-
grams of two theaters. Of course such
enterprise is resulting in a large in-
crease in the business of the depart-
ment.
Lawton, Okla. — Wallace H. Homa-
day, who started business here in 1902,
now has 5,000 square feet of glass and
two acres in outdoor crops. Mrs. Ora
G. Hornaday has had charge of the
sales since 1909, and E. G. Biggard has
been in charge of the growing since
1908. A retail catalogue recently has
been issued, thirty-two pages and cov-
ers, showing cuts and pricing nearly

Portervllle, OaL — A greenhouse 24x42
is being erected by Lucien E. Bohlick.
Bellingham^ Wasli. — B. K. Bellman,
who has grown vegetables under glass
for more than twenty-five years, intends
to take up plants and flowers for the
retail trade.
LOS ANQELES.
The Market.
Business is settling down to a
steadier pace and many social affairs
have used a good quantity 'of stock.
Funeral work is plentiful and an all-
round busy week has to be recorded.
Stock has improved wonderfully the
last few days. Boses are coming in
more freely and carnations are of better
quality. Bulbous stock is improving,
the daffodils being longer of stem and
showing better color. Freesias are ex-
cellent, Purity, as usual, taking prece-
dence over all others. There are a few
colored varieties shown, but as yet there
have not been enough of them to make
a feature. Sweet peas are again absent
from the market, apparently none of
the growers recognizing the importance
of these exquisite flowers for winter
use. Forget-me-nots and the small
boxes of waxed orange blossoms sell
freely and there are one or two other
small flowers, but the market is none
too well supplied with these little novel-
ties, as they are termed. Flowering
plants are not too plentiful, but the
demand for them is not great. Azalea
mollis is beautiful, but, being rather
fragile, does not ship well, though it is
fine for window displays and decora-
tions. Since the rain there has been a
big demand for small bedding and veg-
etable plants. Greens are not any too
plentiful, especially good Asparagus
plumosus.
Various Notes.
The Pasadena Horticultural Society
having decided to incorporate, an elec-
tion of the new board of directors was
held at the regular meeting of the so-
ciety February 4. After much indeci-
sion and argument as to the legality of
certain processes of nomination and
election, it finally was decided to retain
the old officers on the board of directors
and to elect two more, making seven in
all. G. Nelson and W. W. Felgate were
elected to fill the bill. N. Forsythe read
an able paper on chrysanthemum cul-
ture, which was listened to with great
interest, and it was quite late when
President Shields called for a motion
to adjourn.
Hal Kruckeberg is receiving congrat-
ulations on the arrival of a 10-pound
boy at his home February 2. The genial
secretary of the Los Angeles Horticul-
tural Society always carries a smile,
but the brand he now is showing is like
the California sun shining after the re-
cent rains.
F. B. Hills, of Hills' Nursery, is lift-
ing fine stock from the new nursery
grounde^ pQuth of the greenhouses, show-
ing the wonderful fertility of the foot-
hill soil whet, water is applied. Mr.
Hills speaks highly of the new Adian-
tum California, which he is growing
as plants and for cutting. A batch
of 60,000 shamrocks, grown for St. Pat-
rick's day, looks like a beautiful green
lawn under the large lath house. While
on the Irish question. I heard him sing-
ing * * Off Again, On Again, Come Again,
Finnegan." I did not ask for particu-
lars, but think he was referring to the
hirsute appendage again appearing on
his upper lip.
The California Evergreen & Cut Flow-
er Co. reports business rushing. This
concern is shipping large quantities of
Asparagus plumosus, taking about 2,500
per day from J. Dieterich, as well as
purchasing his entire output of freesias.
A striking and unique flower piece
was put up by Wolf skill* '_ & Morris
Goldenson for the opening of the pic-
ture play, "Bamona, " at Clune's Au-
ditorium, February 7. It was in the
form of a belfry containing three old
mission bells of red carnations hung
to a rod of white carnations. The sides
were of bronze galax and the base of
boxwood, the word "Bamona* appear-
ing just above the latter. The piece
stood about eight feet in height.
Albert Knopf, of the Bedondo Floral
Co., says they are delighted with the
large quantity of extra business com-
ing to the company since its removal
to Seventh street. Mr. Knopf is not
given to exaggeration or "blowing,"
and this is another proof of the trend
of business southward.
H. W. Turner is completely remodel-
ing his dwelling and making other im-
provements on the place. He reports

Howard & Smith report being consid-

rain, but Fred Howard says they are
catching up well and are looking for-
ward to a season of excellent business.
The CL. A. Floral Co. says that stock
now is arriving nicely. Carnations,
daffodils and freesias were the leaders
last week. Up to the time of writing

The Markelt.
Prices in the flower market have sel-
dom taken such a tumble as they did
last week; daffodils dropped almost
over night from $4 to $1, or even 75
cents per hundred, and several other
lines showed a sharp decline. Even
carnations, which are not yet over-
plentiful, have gone down almost thirty
per cent. The week was dark and
drizzly, but much warmer, so that,,
though roses still are scarce, the bulb-
ous stock is coming out in fine shape.
This stock is surely welcome after the-
long shortage, and it sells in large
quantities. There is some fear that
the crop, especially of daffodils, is com-
ing all at once, and that after a few
days the cut will be light. There is al-
most a glut of freesias and Paper
Whites, an abundance of Chinese lilies,,
many snowdrops and a few anemones
and ranunculus. Few tulips and hya-
cinths are being cut as yet, but much-
first-class stock is offered in pots and^
finds a ready sale. More valley is ap-
pearing and there are enough Easter
lilies to take care of funeral require-
ments, which are comparatively heavy..

Violets are much better and quite plen-
tiful. Stocks are appearing again^ but
nothing extra in quality, and some
small lots of mignonette and marigolds
are seen.
Short and poorly colored roses, which
have been cleaning up, now get little
attention, but good stock of all kinds
is much sought for, and the prices are
maintained. Baby roses are in especial-
ly strong demand. Gardenias still are
off crop. Cattleyas are in liberal sup-
ply and seem to be growing rapidly in
popularity. There is a good supply of
Phalaenopsis amabilis and Schilleriana.
The shortage of Asparagus plumosus is
turning the demand for greens in other
directions, and ferns and palms are
moving well. Acacia continues quite
popular and more fruit blossoms are
appearing. Rhododendrons still hold
back, but there are plenty of good aza-
leas, which sell well. Cinerarias and
Primula obconica are popular, and there
are a few cyclamens, but they are no
onger much of a feature.

that a hall had been secured for the
evening of March 25, and preparations
will be made for a pleasant evening for
members and their friends. A letter
was read asking the cooperation of the
society in the flower show to be held
during the Marin county floral pageant
at San Eafael, May 19 to 21, in honor
of the landing of Sir Francis Drake
on the shore of that county, and the
society voted to give its cooperation.
Prof. Stephens, of the University of
California, gave an interesting illus-
trated lecture on "Landscape Garden-
ing in California." The evening's ex-
hibits attracted considerable attention,
consisting of odontoglossums^ by J. A.

vases of heather, four sprays each, by
Frank Pelicano, 90 points.
Various Notes.
The Eichard Diener Co. is getting to
work on its new greenhouse at Kent-
field. The proposed planting has been
delayed by wet weather, but will soon
be started.
Mr. Appleby, formerlv with the
Western Orchid Co., of Alameda, and
Mr. Letts, who has been engaged in
landscape work for the Southern Pa-
cific railroad, have gone into partner-
ship and are starting a plant estab-
lishment. They have bought a tract
of land near San Leandro and are
working on a greenhouse range.
L. M. Barrett, a well-known" veteran
fern grower of Berkeley, died Janu-
ary 24.
President Daniel MacEorie, of the
S. A. F., plans to leave for the east
on organization business early in
March.
The florists of Marin county have
formed a temporary association to look
after the professional end of the flower
show, Paul Eckelmann being manager
and F. C. Burns secretary. A prize
fund of nearly $1,000 has been secured
for the show, which will be divided
into classes for professional growers,
amateurs, florists and school children.
The full schedule of prizes will be out
soon.
Among the visiting florists this week
are Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, who
made a run down the line of growers
in San Mateo county, and D. A.
Maderia, of Salinas.
E. W. McLellan, of the E. W. Mc-

Another spell of low temperatures,
snow and high winds, followed by sleet
and what is called a "silver thaw,"
encased every twig^ leaf, wire, etc.,
with a coating of ice about one and
one-half inches in diameter. For sev-
eral days traffic in the city and on the
main railroad lines was practically
put out of business. So far as heard
from, the "oldest inhabitant" has te-
called no winters that surpassed this
one in severity. The sleet stuck to the
glas^ on the greenhouses and could not
be kept off by the inside heat. Some
damage was done at several ranges.

but nothing serious has been reported.
Those who were short of fuel had to do
some sharp hustling. The greatest
damage resulted to shade trees and
shrubbery, which broke down under
the weight of the ice. A chinook, or
warm wind with rain, caused a sudden
melting of the snow and ice, which re-
sulted in flood conditions on all the
streams and sloppy, disagreeable
streets. The florists did but little busi-
ness the first week in February, and
stock accumulated at the stores and
greenhouses.
When weather conditions became
more moderate there was a rush of fu-
neral work and more than the usual
call for flowers for social events, with
plenty of stock to meet all demands.
Bulbous blooms are coming in freely
and the carnations have increased,
though their quality is not prime.
Daffodils are almost in oversupply, with
a tendency to depress prices. The first
genistas are in and tulips and Dutch
h^racinths of all shades are shown.
Some splendid cyclamens are displayed,
but they are not so popular as they
were a month ago.

supply of flowers, and little was done
except in funeral work. Now, however,
there is something doing in the flower
stores. Preparations were made for
Valentine's day, but none of the con-
cerns seemed to think it worth their
while to advertise in the local papers,
as is done in the east, a method of
securing business that should not have
to be brought to the notice of readers
in this locality.
Various No:tes.
The Orpheum Floral Co. has complete-
ly remodeled the front of its store on
Third avenue. The two entrance doors
have been removed and larger windows
installed on each side of the entrance,
making the display more attractive and
improving the appearance of the store.
The Burdett Co., for years at First
avenue and Denny Way, has discontin-
ued business. A meeting of creditors
will be held and the disposition of the
property and effects decided on.
The snowfall of last week did much
damage to local greenhouses. Green-
housemen have the habit of expecting
little snow and do not build houses with
the stability that sometimes is evident-
ly necessary. Consequently, many now
are mourning houses level with the
ground, destroyed crops and vanished
hopes. Some of them, by dint of in-
creased firing and use of shovels and
rakes, managed to keep their houses al-
most intact, , but I have heard of no
place that came off immune, except
that of a youth who is said to have in-

stalled steam pipes close to the glass

Broadway Floral Co., at Everett, ap-
pears to be the heaviest loser. Some of
the Brighton growers lost part of their
ranges, the Carl Melby place went down
entirely and Mr. Melby also lost a house
on the other side of Lake Washington.
At M. G. Buckley's, at Ballard, of
which Gustave Bjorkman is tenant, one
house 30x150 was destroyed and an ad-
joining one damaged. This winter will
long be remembered by greenhousemen,
and if anyone should express any desire
to see "the beautiful snow" there is
likely to be some beautiful language.
A meeting of the retail florists was
held last week and a unanimous de-
cision was arrived at to close all flower
stores earlier in the evening and Sun-
days. In the future the stores will

The day will come when nurserymen
will recognize that florists are one of their
best means for reaching the public.
The death of Charles L. Watrous,
president of the Watrous Nursery Co., of
Des Moines, la., which occurred Febru-
ary 9, is recorded in this week's obituary
column.
William P. Stakk, Stark City, Mo.,
has issued a nicely printed pamphlet of
eighty-eight pages and cover, entitled
"Inside Facts of Profitable Fruit Grow-
ing." There is an immense amount of
information packed into the closely
printed pages, with not a word of selling
talk nor a price from the Stark nursery.
There are few more active men in the
Chicago Association of Commerce than
B. S. Gage, of Peterson Nursery, while
W. A. Peterson is treasurer of the com-
mittee of 100 that will run the Billy Sun-
day meetings in Chicago. These, with
Mr. Peterson's real estate activities, keep
Peterson Nursery before the public with-
out being in the least intended for that
purpose.
NEW AND BABE OBNAMENTAI.S.
[A paper by J. B. Baker, of Fort Worth, Tex.,
on "New or Little-Known Ornamentals," pre-
sented at the fifteenth annual seBslon of the Texas
Nurserymen's Association.]
The demand for ornamentals is in-
creasing rapidly. Some shrubs and
evergreens seem to thrive almost
everywhere. If crape myrtles, Japan
quince, bridal wreath, althaeas, salt ce-
dars, arborvitses, magnolias and euony-
mus can be grown under almost any
condition and in any soil, it stands to
reason there must be many others that
will do as well. Fortunately, the de-
mand for a greater variety has stimu-
lated nurserymen and amateurs to ex-
tensive experiments, with the result
that dozens of shrubs, evergreens and
trees, many of them exceedingly beau-
tiful, have been found to do well in
the southwest. These, until the last
year or two, were unknown, or known
only by name. Below is a list of a few
ornamentals especially good, that are
not yet being extensively planted.
Nepal Privet
Ligustrum Nepalense, or Nepal priv-
et, is a hardy evergreen flowering
shrub. The foliage is as dark and as
rich and heavy as the English laurel,
and in early spring it is covered with
immense trusses of pure white flowers
as handsome as white lilacs. As a speci-
men broad-leaved evergreen, I know of
nothing better than the Nepal privet.
As a flowering shrub it will command
attention and admiration everywhere.
There are other splenOTl privets, such

being an everbloomer tlian any other
flhrub I have ever seen. It is a neat,
compact, rather slow-growing shrub,
does not seem particular as to soil or
location, and is covered during the
entire growing season with beautiful
pinkish-white flowers. There has not
been a day during all of last spring,
summer and up to the present time that
our plants have not been a mass of
blossoms, and I understand that when
Abelia grandiflora is treated as a pot
plant it will flower all winter. It is
not new. I knew this plant twenty-
five years ago in southern Texap, but
only during the last year or two has
it been grown in northern Texas. I
suppose that on account of its being
difficult to propagate and of slow
growth, nurserymen have not taken
hold of it. Naturally it would have to
bring a higher price than other shrubs,
but when the trade once knows its
value, there will be no trouble in get-
ting the price. v_^^
Two Qood Buddlelas.
Buddleia variabilis Veitchiana and B.
magnifica have created almost a sensa-
tion wherever grown. The old variety,
Lindleyana, has been known for many
years, but is not especially attractive,
as neither foliage nor flower is particu-
larly pretty. Lindleyana has to its
credit, however, hardiness, vigor of
growth, adaptability to almost all con-
ditions, and a free-flowering habit. The

new varieties have all these good quali-
ties and, in addition, have heavy, hand-
some foliage. During the summer and
fall they produce an abundance of
flowers in panicles four inches wide and
ten or twelve inches long. The plants
are fulj and graceful in their habit.
Not the least of their attractions is
their fascination for butterflies, the
plants sometimes being covered with
swarms of these beautiful insects of all
colors and sizes. It has appropriately
been named the Butterfly Bush. B.
Veitchiana has flowers almost white,
slightly tinted with lavender, and B.
magnifica has rich, purplish-violet
flowers. There are several other new
varieties of buddleias; they promise to
be a useful family of shrubs.
Berberis Trifollata.
Berberis trifoliata, an evergreen
shrub, is a native of southwest Texas.
The leaves are three to five-lobed, of a
dark glaucous green, with a beautiful
metallic luster. It is four to six feet
high, bushy, and as a single specimen
assumes a compact and handsome form.
Spring

ROSES
<LEEDL|^^^)
It can be planted to advantage in
masses or used as a hedge. In spring
it is covered with bright red berries.
Being a native of west Texas, it is, of
course, extremely hardy.
Salvia Greggil.
Salvia Greggii is another native
shrub of southwest Texas. This was
introduced three years ago, but we can
hardly class it as little known. It is
being planted by the thousands, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and even in
Europe, and has already become a
standard shrub. Its bright, pleasing
color, its freedom of bloom, its hardi-
ness, the ease with which it is propa-
gated and grown, make it a general
favorite wherever known.
Double-Flowering Almond.
Double-flowering almond was the fa-
vorite of our grandmothers' gardens.
It is so old that it is almost forgotten.
This almond |s becoming popular again
and many are glad to know that it is
being offered by nurserymen. The old,

made it unprofitable to handle, but now
that it is being budded on strong-grow-
ing roots, a large stock of it can be
quickly obtained.
The Ck)ld Flower.
Hypericum Moserianum, or Gold
Flower, is a low and leafy shrub with
graceful drooping branches. Flowers
of shining yellow, two inches across,
glisten in the sunlight like lustrous
golden wax, their centers plumed with
almost countless thread-like stamens.
It is unusually showy, especially in
groups, masses or borders There are
several other species of hypericum; all
that I have tried at Fort Worth are
hardy and attractive.
Others Worth WMle.
Space will not permit me to describe
at length other shrubs, but I must
briefly recommend caryopteris, the
pretty, bushy shrub that is covered
with thousands of blue flowers during
fall; the Exochorda grandiflora, with
its large clusters of snow-white flowers
early in the spring; the Genista tinc-
toria, or Scotch Broom, with its gor-
geous profusion of golden-yellow blos-
soms in the spring; the Poinciana Gil-
liesii, or Bird of Paradise, that grows
anywhere and bears such a profusion of
bloom all summer and fall; the^ im-
proved varieties of tamarix, such as
Tamarix hispida aestivalis and T. Ja-
ponica plumosa. These show nearly as
much improvement over the old salt
cedar as the new buddleias do over
Lindleyana. I feel that I must not
close this list without mentioning
Vitex Agnus-castus. This is neither
new nor little known, for at Fort
Worth it is planted more than any other
shrub, but in some cities it seems to
be entirely unknown. It is the land-
scape gardener's friend — always ready
to serve anywhere, always satisfactory
in growth, foliage and flower.

The Market.
Last week was cloudy and, conse-
quently, there was not so large a cut
of flowers for Valentine's day as many
had wished. Stock has been improv-
ing wonderfully, though, and with the
advent of sunny days there will be an
abundance of blooms. The stores had
a fine trade for Valentine's day, es-
pecially in spring fiowers. The Spencer
sweet peas were in exceptional demand.
Valley, myosotis, freesias and double
violets were good sellers. Of other
spring flowers there were calendulas,
primulas, yellow daisies, ageratums,
daffodils, buddleias, lilacs, etc.
Various Notes.
In plants H. A. Schroyer had a fine
line of tulips in pans, which were strict-
ly first-class stock.
Jacob H. Weaver & Son, of Witmer,
had some cinerarias that refiected the
work of a skillful grower.
Lancaster will have another flower
store in the near future. E. P, Antes,
Jr., will open an up-to-date shop in
the southwest angle of Penn square.
Mr. Antes has had considerable experi-
ence with B. F. Barr & Co.

THE BEST RED CARNATION
WASHBURN
QUALITY
WINS!
RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT!
WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also
WINNER of the SAME MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; First prize
at the Illinois State Fair, at Springfield, 111., September 22 and 23. It has never been beaten
at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^ inches.
Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal
in number to the Enchantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average
Carnation. It comes in full flower by the 1st of December and then continues steadily
through the balance of the season.
The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in the market. We have
grown this variety for five years, it being one of our own seedlings, and we now have
30,000 plants benched in our greenhouses at Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut
flowers and 18,000 devoted to rooted cuttings. Booted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500
at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively
to rooted cuttings.

BUFFALO.
The Market.
There is an increase in the supply of
some items, but a decrease in others.
There is little change in the market
compared with that of a week ago.
Beauties are scarce and those to be
had are not of good quality. As for
other roses, the supply is exceedingly
short, but growers assure us that with
a little fair weather there will be a
larger supply of roses. Carnations are
increasing in quantity, but most of them
are of inferior grade, either split or
with weak stems. First-class carna-
tions are none too plentiful. Bulbous
stock is becoming more abundant. Eed,
white and yellow tulips, daffodils and
jonquils are all plentiful. With a good
supply, these seem to have a tendency
to drag. Paper Whites meet with a
fair demand. Sweet peas, freesias
and hyacinths continue to sell well,
Violets, especially singles, meet with
an increasing demand. Orchids and
valley are decidedly scarce. Asparagus
Sprengeri has been on the short side
and Asparagus plumosus has been more
plentiful, but there is not enough of
«ither to supply all wants.
Various Notes.
Eecent visitors in Buffalo were A. B.
Ruppert, of Philip L. Carbone's,
Boston; W. A. Manda, of South Orange,
^ . J.
Edward Walthers, who has been on
the sick list for several weeks, has
fully recovered.
William Adams, E'mil Brucker and
Mark Palmer attended the meeting of
the New York Federation of Floral
dlubs at Cornell last week.
Mrs. Katherine A. Backer, 485 West
Utica street, died suddenly last week.
She had charge of a flower shop on
Elmwood avenue.
The Buffalo Cut Flower Co. has dis-
■continued business and the Wm. F.
Kasting Co. has bought its remaining
■stock and supplies.
Charles H. Netsch, who has a flower
store on Genesee street, will open a
wholesale house March 1. He formerly
-conducted a wholesale house at 355
EUicott street. The trade wishes him
success.
S. A. Anderson had a unique St.
Valentine's window. In the center
there was a large kewpie doll with rib-
bons reaching to different articles in
the window, among which were some
pretty valentine boxes.
The carnations in western New York
are at present not of the best quality,
being weak of stem, split and faded.
The wholesalers are getting some nice
-carnations from Boston and New York.
ANEMONE NUMS
Japanese Anemone C. L. HUTCHINSON Single Anemone MRS. CARRIE RYERSON
In this variety we have the ideal Anemone.
The color of the petals is a pure white and the
center a bright yellow, making a beautiful con-
trast. It is a good grower, splendid dark foli-
age, and, the best of all for pot work, needs no
support.
Japanese Anemone MARIE POOLE
Very distinct and beautiful flower, which is
very large, and the color is a combination of
bronzy salmon, flushed with pink; the high
center is bright oran«?e yellow. One of the
oddest and must novel flowers ever introduced.
Good pot plant.

An artistic window display for St.
Valentine's day was that of W. J.
Palmer, 304 Main street. In the central
background was a heart four feet in
diameter, with an arrow of Harrisii
lilies piercing it. In the front part of
the window were many prettily
trimmed baskets and boxes of valen-
tine flowers. A. E.

WASHINOTON, D. O.
The Market.
The St. Valentine's day business was
satisfactory. Sweetheart, Sweet Marie
and Cameo roses, sweet peas and vio-
lets were in good demand for this pur-
pose. Freesia sold better. The market
is almost bare of red flowers. Amer-
ican " Beauty roses were in heavy de-
mand, with not enough to go around;
Hadley is practically off the market
and there are but few Hoosier Beauty
and Eichmond roses to be had. Red
carnations are quite scarce and the
general run of carnations has dimin-
ished by fully fifty per cent. The
cloudy days last week caused a great
curtailment in the cut of all roses. Val-
ley is quite plentiful and is bringing
$5, with a fair demand. Southern daf-
fodils have made their appearance and
are being offered at $1 per hundred.
Easter lilies are coming in more freely.
Orchids still are plentiful, with but
little demand, except for the Valen-
tine's day tr^de, while gardenias are
hard to get.
Various Notes.
The Gude Bros. Co. had two fine
window displays last week; one in
honor of Lincoln's birthday, the other
a Valentine 's day display. The feature
of the latter was a huge heart of red
immortelles, outlined with chiffon of
matched colrir. The Lincoln window
represented a jwoodland scene decorated
with ferns and cattleyas and portraits
of Lincoln.
The fourth annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States brought a large number of visi-
tors to Washington, and among these
were many florists. Those registering
were George Burgevin, Daniel Burgevin
and Cornelius Hime, of Kingston, N. Y.;
Charles A. Keffer, of Knoxville, Tenn.;
J. Hampton Bich, of Winston Salem,
N. C. Julius Dilloff, of New York, and
E. H. Flood, of Philadelphia, called on
the trade last week.

The Market.
Boses continue scarce, but there is
an abundance of carnations, lilies and
all kinds of bulbous stock. During the
latter part of the week the windows
of all the downtown stores were trim-
med with novelties for St. Valentine's
day.
Various Notes.
Henry J. Doll, of 969 Douglas ave-
nue, is preparing to make extensive im-
provements and additions to his range.
Lawrence Hay, of East Providence, is
cutting some fine acacia, for which he
finds a ready sale.
The Lapham Floral Co. has given a
chattel mortgage of $1,800 to Matilda
P. Lapham on the contents of the green-
houses, 6 Fales street, Central Falls,
and on the store at 72 Broad street,
Pawtucket.
John Macrae has a fine bench of
acacia, from which he is cutting a good
supply.
E. L. Lemery, of Woonsocket, left
last week for a several weeks' stay at
Jacksonville, Fla. W. H. M.
NEWPOET, E. I.
A paper on "The Propagation of
Boses," by E. Kempenaar, was the
feature of the regular meeting of the
Newport Horticultural Society. A
comparison of the value of various
budding stocks used — canina, Manetti,
multiflora and rugosa — was made, and
Mr. Kempenaar showed specimens of
June and August buddings. Many
members were present and a general
discussion of the subject followed the
reading of the paper. At the next
meeting papers will be read by Wil-
liam Mackay and Arthur W. Potter, Jr.,
the former on "Grapes Under Glass"
and the latter on "Bock Gardens and
Bock Plants." A committee was ap-
pointed to secure a lecturer" for an early
date, possibly a member of the faculty
of the Bhode Island State College or
E. H. Wilson, of the Arnold Arboretum,
Jamaica Plain, Mass.
An agreement has been reached in
the controversy of Margaret J. Gibson,
wife of Thomas J. Gibson, against
Joseph Gibson and others, whereby an
early settlement can be made. On motion
one day last week in the Superior court
before Judge Barrows a decree was en-
tered by which the greenhouse prop-
erty on Malbone road is to be sold.

WILMETTE, ILL.
ST. PAUL.
The Market.
Last week was one of pleasure to the
florists, for all had the carnival spirit,
which was not dampened until the rush
for Valentine's day started. Stock of
all kinds was plentiful and there was a
large demand, perhaps the largest on
recwd, for St. Valentine 's. All flowers
sold well, violets, lilac, roses and bulb-
ous stock predominating. The quality
of stock was of the best and no trouble
was experienced in disposing of the
appropriate heart-shaped boxes and
fancy hampers that have made a suc-
cess of Valentine's day for the retail-
ers. Some exceedingly pretty creations
were to be had. As to price, they
ranged from $2 to $10 each. A notable
fact established itself, that the trade
this year purchased a better class of
stock than in former years.
Various Notes.
Holm & Olson had a pleasing window
display, valentines of all kinds being
featured. This firm had for the day a
large quantity of cattleyas and lilacs,
and no difficulty was experienced in dis-
posing of them,
William Swanson had a banner cut
of violets and he states that he could
have disposed of twice as many. He is
bringing in some exceptionally fine
stock.
H. Nielsen, of Hazel Park, is bringing
into the market as fine a lot of sweet
peas as have been seen. They surely
are well grown and Mr. Nielsen has no
trouble in finding a sale for them.
The O. R, Eckhardt Co. reports out-
of-town business as being heavy and a
large batch of good stock coming into
the market.
The St. Paul florists attended in a
body the Minnesota State Florists' As-
sociation's dance held at Minneapolis.
A special car was chartered and the
Holm & Olson carnival club was on
hand in costume, accompanied by its
fife and drum corps, which furnished
the entertainment going over.
O. J. Olson has been confined to his
home for the last few days.
George Bates, of Holm & Olson, is at
the hospital and will no doubt have to
undergo an operation before his condi-
tion can improve.
Carl Clarine, of Faribault, attended
the International Bowling Tournament
last week and incidentally called on his
friends. C. R. F.

CINOINNATI.
The Market.
Colder weather has put a slight check
upon the supply of stock and now the
receipts are not much larger than the
demand. Shipping business is good
and retail business generally is excel-
lent.
St. Valentine's day, on the whole,
proved fairly satisfactory, but at the
close of the day's business there was
a large quantity of stock, peculiarly in
demand on that day, that was left
over. The extremely cold weather prob-
ably was the reason, for the people
hesitated to buy and wear flowers when
the temperature was so low that any
kind of bloom was likely to freeze in
a few minutes. Roses, with the excep-
tion of Beauties, are still scarce, but
should be more plentiful before long.
All other seasonable stock is in good
supply. Dutch hyacinths have been
added to the list of bulbous stock.
Club Meeting.
The Cincinnati Florists' Society, at
its regular meeting, at Labold & New-
burgh's, passed a resolution instruct-
ing the secretary to advise our mayor
and the governor of the state of Ohio
that in their Mothers' day proclama-
tions they should call the attention of
the public to the propriety of using a
bright flower for mothers living and
a white flower for mothers dead, instead
of the usual white carnation. The
secretary was also instructed to ask all
florists' clubs in Ohio to take the same
action in their respective localities.
After the meeting the members sat
down to a Dutch lunch and refresh-
ments, while three dusky entertainers
provided the merriment for the evening.
Various Notes.
William H. Gardener, who recently
purchased the Knopf establishment at
Eichmond, Ind., has been sending some
excellent carnations to C. E. Critchell.
Fred Brueggemann recently went to
Newcastle to take charge of the P. J.
dinger place there, as manager. His-
friends wish him success in his new
venture.
E. G. Gillett disposed of over 20,000
single violets for St. Valentine's day,
as well as a good lot of other season-
able stock.
Ed. Buschle is recovering rapidly from
his recent operation.
Among recent visitors were A. M.
Hanson and A. M. Anderson, represent-
ing the A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago;
Geo. Hampton, representing Jos. G.
Neidinger Co., Philadelphia; A. Ringier,
representing the W. W. Barnard Co.,
Chicago; S. S. Skidelsky, Philadelphia,
and H. J. Vanderhorst, St. Marys, O.

he has secured a position.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free use of dirt bands for the grow-
ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new KEADY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not how
cheap, but how good,. is our motto.

I had a cast iron 8-section boiler before,
but was afraid it would crack to pieces.
The Kroeschell Boiler is certainly a
fuel-saver. My coal bill to heat 5000 sq.
ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less
than last winter's coal bill, when I only
had 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the
8-section cast iron boiler.
Your boiler burns any kind of fuel. I
would not have another boiler than a
Kroeschell, and will recommend when-
ever I get a chance.

Greenhouse Heating.
SuBSOBiBEBS 8X6 iiiTited 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-
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.
STEAM BOn^B— WATER HEAT.
I asked you a short time ago about
a small steam boiler which I wish to
use for heating my greenhouse, and
your reply appeared in The Review of
February 10, under the title of ' ' Boiler
Has Ample Capacity." In my inquiry
I stated that the boiler is three feet
in diameter, that it contains twenty-
five 3-inch tubes, six feet long, and
that its grate surface is two feet ten
inches by three feet four inches. I also
asked whether this boiler would be
large enough to heat a greenhouse 20x75
to 60 degrees, but I neglected to state
that I wanted to heat with hot water,
using this steam boiler. What would
its rating be, and how would you pipe
the house for hot water! Would not
the hot water system make night firing
easier and also allow the boiler to be
set higher?
The house will be built in the spring,
and I wish to use this boiler till I build
a second house, or until I build a third
house if the boiler is large enough for
two such houses. When the present
boiler will no longer suflSce, I shall pur-
chase a modern, hot water, steel boiler.
D. A. M.— Pa.
The previous reply referred to was
given with the understanding that the
steam boiler was to be used for steam
heating. As was implied, the use of
steam is not advisable in small green-
houses, owing to the frequent atten-
tion necessary. Provided its construc-
tion adapts it for use as a hot water
heater, the amount of glass surface
which can be heated with the boiler
will be about the same whether a steam
or a hot water heating system is used.
The boiler in question will probably

make, including all connections, little

radiation, thus leaving a good margin
of eflBciency in the boiler.
It is of less importance to have the
boiler several feet below the level of
the returns with hot water than with
steam. Yet, if the top of the boiler
is at least as low as the returns, there
will be less trouble about securing a
good circulation, and if it can be even

The drawing shows house No. 1 to

of which supplies six 2-inch returns.
It is stated that the present radiation
provides from 48 to 60 degrees, pre-
sumably varying with the outside tem-
perature, but the temperature desired
in the houses is not stated. As now
arranged, each of the 2-inch flow pipes

much as can be handled to advantage
by a 2-inch flow pipe. We would con-
sider the radiation about right for 50
degrees in zero weather, but would use
in the house three 2%-inch flow pipes
and eleven 2-inch returns for 50 de-
grees. If a temperature of 60 degrees
is desired, three 2i^-inch flows and fif-
teen 2-inch returns will be needed.
In house No. 2, which is a lean-to
15x50 feet, there are one 2-inch flow and
five 2-inch returns, in addition to the
main fiow and return pipes leading to
house No. 1. For this house we would
use one 2i^-inch flow and four 2-inch
returns for 50 degrees and six returns
for 60 degrees, provided the flow and
return pipes to house No. 1 are as large
as 2%-inch. We would use either one
4-inch or three 214-inch main flows and
returns for house No. 1, for 60 degrees.
The principal trouble appears to be
from attempting to carry 400 square
feet of radiation in house No. 1 with
2-inch flow pipes. This, of course,
checks the circulation of the water,
causing it to boil, and, since the ex-
pansion tank is connected with the re-
turns, it is not strange that the trou-
ble reported occurs. We would arrange
the flow pipes to run downhill and con-
nect the expansion tank with the high-
est part of the system. Then, if a tem-
perature of 50 degrees is all that is
required, we would substitute 2^ -inch
for the 2-inch flows in the large house.
If 60 degrees must be provided, we
would use the radiation suggested
above or attach a generator.
OIL FOE FUEL.
We should like to know whether it is
practical to use fuel oil in greenhouse
heating. If so, at what price would oil
be as cheap as steam coal at $6 per tont
Is there an oil burner which would be
reliable if used in a hot water boiler
manufactured by the American Radia-
tor Co., and which would not require
the services of a fireman for eight to
ten hours! Do you know of any con-
cern that manufactures a trustworthy
oil burner? C. F. B. — Wash.
While there may be some improved
form of oil burners on the market, I do
not know of any that are adapted for
use in small boilers and that do not re-
quire a regular attendant. I have no
personal knowledge of the use of fuel
oil with the boilers mentioned, but do
not see whjr the result would not be the
same as with other boilers.

Febbuabt 17, 1016.
KOCHESTEE, N. T.
The Market.
From a general standpoint business
was good last week and there was every
indication of a good St. Valentine's
day trade. More seasonable weather is
with us and there is a certain brisk-
ness to business. Cut flowers do not
appear to be more plentiful. A marked
shortage of short-grade stock is noticed,
especially in roses, which is needed for
funeral work. Consignments arrive in
good condition and the quality of stock
is satisfactory. Boses are leading, and
such varieties as Ophelia, Sunburst,
Ward, Russell, Hoosier Beauty and
Maryland sell splendidly. Double White
Killarney is good at this time. Carna-
tions are in fine condition, but not at
all overplentiful. The large White
Wonder and Pink Delight carnations
sell nicely. Violets are selling better.
Orchids and gardenias are fine and move
fairly well. Sweet peas are more plen-
tiful now and some fine orchid-flower-
ing varieties are seen. A few good
calendulas are on the market. Jonquils
and daffodils are becoming plentiful and
sell well. Paper Whites are abundant
and sell well, being used considerably
in funeral work. Yellow narcissi move
easily. Valley is good and moves well,
and calla lilies are unusually welcome.
Daisies, Romans and primulas are used
extensively in basket work. Yellow and
white tulips sell well. Green goods
have received quite a call. Potted
plants, such aa cyclamens, primulas,
bulbous stock of all kinds, azaleas and
rhododendrons, sell freely. Ferns and
palms meet with a ready sale.
Various Notes.
Salter Bros, last week had a con-
spicuous window display consisting of
a mammoth red heart surrounded by
corsage boxes of that shape. Other
store windows were prettily arranged
over Sunday for the old-fashioned
lovers' day.
The Rochester Floral Co. last week
had decorations for one of the largest
weddings of the season. The decora-
tions at the house were fine and the
bouquets were exceptional.
An unusual attraction ia promised at
the next monthly meeting of the Roch-
ester Florists' Association. Miss Amy
L. Ija Vigne, a daughter of one of our
florists and a graduate of the Emerson
College of Oratory, of Boston, Mass.,
will entertain the members and friends.
Miss Anna Cleary will give vocal selec-
tions, as well as George T. Boucher.
James Vick's Sons report business
as unusually active. Store trade is
picking up wonderfully and the mail-
order department is loaded with orders.
This concern is most optimistic over the
prospects of spring business.

The Market.
Now that the bulbous stock is coming
into the market more freely, the prices
of other flowers are dropping and most
of them have reached the average for
this time of the year. There is a slight
scarcity of roses, however, and the
price of these is high, though consid-
erably lower than a few weeks ago.
Calla lilies are more plentiful than a
month ago and bring a good price.
Easter lilies also are more abundant
and of good quality. Stocks are be-
coming more plentiful. Blooming
plants have sold well during the last
two weeks and there continues to be a
good demand for ferns. The Valentine
business was satisfactory, as a rule,
but business is a trifle quiet outside of
funeral work. There is less social work
than usual this year.
Vaxious Notes.
Jacob H. Harvey, who has been ill
with the grip for the last five or six
weeks, has gone to Atlantic City for a
couple of weeks, accompanied by Mrs.
Harvey.
Philips Bros, had a good week of
funeral work and orders for wedding
decorations. Special Valentine's day
boxes and baskets sold well.
Henry A. Strobell made a specialty
of flower valentines and reports a good
business.
George Penek had a unique F. T. D.
window display last week. In one
corner of the window, near the front,
was a small table upon which was a
telegraph key. Seated in a chair was
a doll, representing an operator. "Wires
ran from this key to a telegraph pole
about three and one-half feet high.
Several other poles carried the wires to
the opposite corner of the window,
where there was another table, tele-
graph apparatus and operator. Near
the apparatus at the front of the window
was a sign with these words: "Flow-
ers delivered anywhere in the United
States and Canada on two hours' no-
tice." E. B. M.
Hancock, Mich. — Mrs. Oscar Ongie
has sold her florists' business to the
A. M. York estate, which does a large
business in seeds, nursery stock and
cut flowers.

The Florists^ Review
FnsvABT 17, 1916.
rOET WAYIIB, IND.
The Market.
Bright weather last week brought out
quality blooms for St. Valentine's day
business in great numbers. The stock
is in better condition at this writing
than it has been since December. Car-
nations, lilies, sweet peas and all bulb-
ous stock are plentiful. Bodes are
more plentiful, but they are not in over-
supply. Sweet peas are arriving in
good order, the Spencer varieties tiHting
the lead in production and price.
Freesias are in good supply and orchids
are plentiful and bring good prices.
Gardenias and valley have a good de-
mand. The advance orders for St. Val-
entine's day were numerous and at this
writing the local florists are beginning
to feel the eflPects of systematic adver-
tising. All hands have been extremely
busy filling valentine orders, but it is
too early to determine the volume of
business done for this day. Novelties,
such as heart-shaped baskets filled with
violets, valley, pansies and spring flow-
ers, and corsages in heart-shaped boxes,
have taken the lead in the day's de-
mand, while red roses have sold in great
quantities, as well as potted plants of
spring flowers.
Violets have been extremely plentiful
and proved popular at $2 per hundred.
In spite of the colder, healthier weather
prevailing, the death list was long last
week, and funeral work was heavy.
Green goods, especially Asparagus plu-
mosus and Sprengeri, are scarce and of
high price.
Various Notes.
Walter E. Cook, representing Stumpp
& Walter Co., New York, was a busi-
ness caller last week.
The Doswell Floral Co. picked a fine
lot of single violets for the St. Valen-
tine's day trade.
F. J. Knecht & Co. are cutting some
special Hussell roses. E. F.

The Market.
Although stock has become more
plentiful, business continues good and
there is little cause for complaint. The
market is well supplied with roses, car-
nations, daffodils and tulips. Sweet
peas are scarce and orchids are in good
demand. Easter lilies and white car-
nations have sold well, owing to the
large amount of funeral work. Paper
Whites are scarce and sell quickly.
The price of daffodils and tulips has
taken a drop. Potted Von Sion daffo-
dils find a ready sale.
Various Notes.
Everything is in fine shape at the
greenhouses of Charles Bourne. He
has a fine stock of spring plants and
the Easter plants are coming along
nicely, being timed just right for
Easter.
The Baker Floral Co. has its houses
crowded with plants for Easter. The
lilies are fine and will come on prop-
erly for Easter. There are 3,000 roses
potted for the Easter trade. Carna-
tions at this place are now in full crop.
The W. E, Day Co. had an attractive
St. Valentine's day window display.
Warner Bultmann has been busy with
funeral work. He made up twenty to
twenty-five pieces in one day. All
hands are kept bnsy here. H. F. B.

Gentlemen: In reply to yonr query would atate
that I planted seedling atock planta and anap-
dragon cuttings In the first lot of banda that I
received from you early In January.
We took some of these ont and planted them
where they are to remain abont the 16th of
Febrnary. Tbey made GOOD GROWTH while
in the t>ands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they
bad never l>een moved at all.
I have now about 14,000 camatloB planta
started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID
GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in tranaplant-
ing from the aand.
_ alao have abont 20,000 aster planta trana-
planted in 2-in. banda which can stay there till
time to plant ont of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF
BECOMING ROOT BOUND, aa would be the caae
If I need 2-ln. pots.
Planta SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND
enough to inJnre them IN THE DIRT BANDS,
and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT
or ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water-
ing, shifting, transplanting, etc.
I make my bands and set them in data, as I
make them np, each flat holding 117.
When we get crowded indoors it takea bnt a
short time to move the flats to a cold frame,
where we harden them oS before aettlng them in
the field.
One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER
TIME AS MANY (twice aa many) planta in the
field from these banda and flats than he can from
pota, and after he Is through DOBS NOT HAVE
THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN-
ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS.
I l>elleve anyone using these banda ONOB
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER.
Yonra truly,

The Florists* Review
FiBROABT 17, 1916.
BALTIMORE.
The Maxket.
Business conditions last week may
be described as being unsettled but fair,
largely on account of the uncertain
weather, which had its effect on the sup-
ply of cut flowers and the demand. One
day stock may be plentiful and prices
low; the next day conditions may be
reversed. St. Valentine's day, while
creating no special demand, served to
use some extra flowers. Boses, with the
exception of red and short white for
funeral work, were sufficient for all
demands. Carnations in colors were shy,
but white was to be had in any quan-
tity. The demand for violets was not
so large as was expected and some were
left over, especially in the poorer
grades. Beauties, while in good de-
mand, could not be had at any price.
Peas sold satisfactorily, but they were
not of the best quality. Valley was
sold out completely, but other bulbous
stock, such as daffodils, tulips, etc., was
not in heavy demand. Cattleyas, gar-
denias and novelties sold well. Some
myosotis was to be had, but there was
not enough of it to supply the demand.
Forsythia and acacia have made their
appearance and sell well. Pussy willow
is in good demand. Smilax has been
rather hard to secure, but other greens
are plentiful.
Club Meeting.
The cold weather of February 14 kept
many members away from one of the
most interesting club meetings held this
season. William E. McKissick gave an
interesting talk on business from the
wholesaler's point of view, which was
well received. Mr. McKissick spoke of
the methods of doing business today as
compared with those formerly practiced.
He also spoke of cooperation of those
engaged in the trade. A number of val-
uable points were brought out that
could be used to advantage by members
of the trade.
The nomination of officers for the en-
suing year resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, James Hamilton; vice-president,
J. M. Bider, W, E. McKissick, Albert
Fiedler, Thomas Stevenson; correspond-
ing secretary, N. F. Flitton; financial
secretary, George Talbot: treasurer, F.
G. Burger; librarian, C. M. Wagner.
The essay committee announced that at
the next meeting Otto Thilow, of Phila-
delphia, would address the club.
The transportation committee in
charge of arrangements for the club's
attendance at the Philadelphia National
Flower Show reported that it was in
communication with the Washington
club relative to joining that city 's mem-
bers in the trip. The definite date for
the trip will be decided on at the next
meeting.
Various Notes.
The Seidewitz Flower Shop ihad a fine
lot of myosotis for St. Valentine's day
trade and it was easily disposed of.
Basket arrangements of plants also were
featured with good results.

CTPBESS 8H1LES BEST
If you would have the whole Greenhouse job standard— uniform throughout— you must put cypress shingles on
the boiler room. And for the barn and other buildings about the place, nothing else will do the business and con-
tinue to do it, year after year, like cypress shingles.
REMEBIBER that every endurance record in the history of shingles was made by cypress shingles.
Read from the report of the U. S. Gov't., in Bulletin No. 95. Forest Service, Department of Agriculture:
A shingle roof on a house at Greenwich, Conn., was said to have lasted 250 years; another in Brooklyn,
N. Y., was reported to have lasted 228 years, and still another at Clifton, Staten Island, was still doing
business after 200 years of continuous service. Cypress shingle roofs at New Orleans, La., that are 100
years old are no curiosity— plenty of them.
There is no discount on a Cypress shingle roof.

construction Is positively ice-clearing.
This full iron frame, curved eave
JACOBS* QRBENHOUSE was
completely erected, including venti-
lation and heating system, by our
own expert mechanics, for Mr. Chas.
Bradley at Convent, New Jersey.
This greenhouse is 25 x 85 feet, and
has a partition in the middle, mak-
ing two distinct and separate com-
partments, with separate heating
systems, so that different tempera-
tures may be maintained in both
sections.
WE KNOW WHAT TO 00 AND WHAT NOT TO DO
If you contemplate building a greenhouse
write us-we can save money for you.

SAN FBANCISCO NOTES.
[OontlDued from page 74.]
Two of the designers at the Pelicano,
Bossi & Co. store have been seriously
ill for several days, and the rest of
the force is extremely busy, for there
has been considerable funeral work in
addition to the St. Valentine business.
Charles Willis Ward, of the Cottage
Gardens Nurseries, Eureka, arrived last
week from his long trip east, accom-
panied by R. T. Brown, and spent sev-
eral days in San Francisco before pro-
ceeding to Eureka.
C. Kooyman recently got in a good-
sized shipment of imported baskets.
Taylor & Madero, operating as the
Presidio Florists at 2179 Union street,
have dissolved partnership. Mr.
Madero is continuing the business and
Qus Taylor is starting another shop on
McAllister street, near. Fillmore, in the
place occupied by Cleis & Jacobsen a
couple of years ago.
There is an unusual quantity of odd-
lot and bargain business in plants of
various kinds. Several shipments of
imported stock are being sold oflf at
places about town, one such place be-
ing at 86 Second street, where the an-
nouncement is made that a large stock
of plants just received from Holland
is on sale. The offering consists of a
large lot of rhododendrons, conifers,
boxes, etc., and a large lot of rose
plants. Several of the department
stores also are offering bargains in the
way of rooted plants, especially roses.
Federal Judge Van Fleet February 7
adjudged the Luther Burbank Co. bank-
rupt. A voluntary petition filed by the
directors gives the liabilities as $73,372,
and assets as $108,556.
The main hall of the big Civic Cen-
ter Auditorium was decorated for the
"Kiddies' Ball" by the Art Floral Co.,
of Powell street, which had a large
force working on the job all the week.
S. H. G.
Madison, S. D.— The class of agricul-
ture at the high school is being treated
to a series of talks by C. Hudspeth, of
the W. B. Renner greenhouses. Two
subjects have been disposed of by Mr.
Hudspeth, Dutch bulbs and grafting
of trees.

CINEBABIAS FBOM SEED.
I have selected a few cineraria plants
of choice colors, in 5-inch and 6-inch
pots, and should like to know whether
they will make seed and whether the
seedlings will come true to the color
of the parent plant. Is it necessary to
pollinate? Should the colors be sepa-
rated, or can all stand together on the
bench! C. B.— Ohio.
The cinerarias will make seeds in
abundance without pollination. It has
been found almost impossible to fix
the colors in cinerarias, especially in
the small-flowered stellata section. If
you want to save seed, place the plants
apart before any flowers are expanded
and place a fine piece of gauze or
cheesecloth over the plants to prevent
any pollination by insects. Even if you
do this you may expect to get a large
assortment of colors in your seedlings.

PLANNING A SMAU. BANGE.
I have six city lots, each 50x150 feet,
making the total area 150x300 feet.
The long way of the tract is east and
west. I am planning to build a small
range of greenhouses on these lots. Will
it be as well to have the houses run
east and west as north and south? The
east and west direction is more con-
venient, on account of the way the
ground and streets lie. I am just start-
ing and I wish to build the range in
two sections, so I can have the boiler
between the sections, as shown in the
enclosed diagram. You will notice that
in the diagram the six houses run east
and west. Three of them, each 100 feet
long, abut on one side of the boiler.
The other three, each seventy-five feet
long, abut on the other side of the
boiler. In other words, the range would
consist of three long houses if not cut
through crosswise by the boiler shed.

FLORISTS FIGHT i^
FUNGOUS FOES
In fighting fungi or foes in other forms, the most scientific method is
the m/)st successful. Modem floriculture is tested and applied science. Pro-
gressive florists are practical scientists and will readily appreciate the
value, the money-making power, of the facts presented in this article.
anrsKSMiniH
HE
CONTEOL of
fungous diseases
of floricult ural
plants in the green-
house may be ef-
fected in three dif-
ferent ways: First,
by preventing the
fungus from enter-
ing the plant; sec-
ond, by curing
plants already dis-
eased; third, by growing disease-resis-
tant plants, or by means of breeding
and selecting, so as to make susceptible
varieties resistant. At the present time
the first method given is generally fol-
lowed. The preventing of the fungus
from entering the plant may be accom-
plished in a number of ways.
One of the most important facts that
the florist must remember in the con-
trolling of greenhouse diseases is clean-
liness. Keep your greenhouses in per-
fect condition and you will rarely suf-
fer from serious losses.
A Sanitary Oreenliouse.
A good habit to cultivate is to pick
up all the fallen leaves and rubbish you
see in the greenhouse. It is a habit
well worth while instilling in
the minds of all employees
working about the establish-
ment. There is absolutely no
reason why a greenhouse
should not be kept as neat as
the shop. Plants, like human
beings, should be kept in a
thoroughly sanitary environ-
ment in order to thrive. You
can control, to a large extent,
black spot of roses, one of the
most common diseases in the
greenhouse, by gathering the
infected leaves on the plants
and on the benches.
Under the general head of
cleanliness be sure to include
the removal and destruction
of affected parts, such as
leaves, twigs or whole plants,
the avoidance of disease-
bearing material, as old soil,
and the prevention of wounds
by careful handling. For ex-
ample, the fungus causing
branch-rot of carnations can-
not attack sound plants, but
enters only when wounds are
present.
The selection of seeds and
cuttings is, in many cases, the
easiest and most natural
method of control. How many
florists know, when they purchase
seeds, under what cond^oQS and
in what localities the seed plants
were grown, the percentage that
will germinate, or what disease may be
carried on these seeds! No doubt a
number of serious diseases are carried
from one locality to another through
seeds and cuttings. One of the best
examples of a serious disease being dis-
seminated bv cuttings throughout the
country is the snapdragon rust, which
has now been reported from a large
number of states. It is known that
fungi are found on the seeds of sev-
eral plants, which in one case cause a
serious damping off, while later another
fungus causes a destructive wilt in the
field.
Clean Seed and Clean SoiL
Always select your seeds and cut-
tings only from the strongest and
healthiest individuals and never send
out seeds or cuttings from diseased
plants. Seed selection ip practiced to
a considerable extent in other fields,
but there is no line of disease-control
requiring more attention, at the present
time, among the florists.

ANNOUNCING A SERIES OF ARTICLES BY
€LThe Review is pleased to announce an arrangement
whereby Mr. Peltier will contribute a series of articles on
the sdentific side of plant growing. €LMr. Peltier is well
known as Associate in floricultural Pathology at the Uni-
versity of Illinois, where there is the most complete equip-
ment for the study of the problems of florists to be found
at any of the institutions of research and learning anywhere
in the United States. <IMr. Peltier's series, of which the
accompanying article is the first, will deal with plant dis-
eases and their control, with insects and insecticides, with
soils and fertilizers, and with the general subject of plant
breeding and the development of the special qualities that
give a plant commercial value. He win answer inquiries.
the seeds you obtain have been raised,
you must resort to seed disinfection.
This has been neglected almost entirely
by the florists, although it has many
promising possibilities. In seed disin-
f «-ction the seeds are subjected to a dis-
infectant long enough to kill the or-
ganism causing the disease, but not
long enough to kill the seeds. The dis-
infectants generally used are formalin
(forty per cent formaldehyde) and
corrosive sublimate.
One of the most formidable groups
of organisms, which cause considerable
loss at times in the greenhouse, is the
soil fungi. The only efficient means of
controlling these fungi is by steaming
the soil or by the use of a disinfectant.
Steaming the soil is, beyond a doubt,
the best method of killing all soil fung^.
However, few growers will resort to
steam sterilization because of the labor
and expense involved. The use of a
disinfectant like formaldehyde, while
not so efficient, is more convenient and
less expensive.
Oreenliouse Fungicides.
The application of fungicides has
probably, in the past, been the most
highly developed phase of disease-pre-
vention in plant pathology, but
under glass the use of fungi-
cides, especially those which
discolor foliage, is limited.
"With fungicides you can pre-
vent most of the common spot
diseases of floricultural plants,
as well as several of the rusts.
Among the more common
fungicides that you can use in
the greenhouse are Bordeaux
mixture, ammoniacal copper
carbonate, lime-sulphur, potas-
sium sulphide, and flowers of
sulphur.
A number of fungi are able
to live for several years in
greenhouse soil and the con-
stant use of the same house
or the same soil tends to in-
crease the disease of that crop.
As most growers change the
soil in the houses every year,
they avoid, to a large extent,
the soil fungi. However, if
you rotate your crops from
one house to another yearly or
every two years, you will
avoid having trouble from
year to year from air-borne
fungi.
Two years ago the federal
government established the
plant quarantine act, and with-
16
The Florists' Review
Febboabt 24, 1916.
in the last year a number of states have
passed quarantine laws. These acts,
while seemingly a hardship on men im-
porting and making interstate ship-
ments of floricultural plants, will pre-
vent the introduction of any new dis-
eases. Although the federal act has
been established only a short time, al-
ready the inspectors have discovered
several serious diseases, which under
this act have been kept out of the coun-
try, by means of a strict embargo on
the plants on which the disease has
been found. Thus you have been saved
the possibility of having to combat a
few added diseases which might be-
come serious.
You will find it a much more difficult
task to cure a plant already diseased
than to prevent the disease. In only a
few cases can you actually kill an or-
ganism which is already causing in-
jury. Only with mildews, as the
mildews on roses, where the fungus is
purely superficial, is the use of fungi-
cides beneficial.
Disease-Besistant Plants.
We now come to the third and prob-
ably the most important method of dis-
ease control; that is, the use of dis-
ease-resistant plants. Although the
importance of this method has been
well understood by scientists, the ap-
plication of the principle by breeders
of floricultural plants has not been
taken up to any extent.
The breeder can undertake this phase
of the work from two standpoints:
First, the breeding of disease-resistant
plants, and second, the selection of re-
sistant plants of susceptible varieties.
The principles involved are similar in
the two cases.
Before a disease-resistant race can be
bred, you must find individual plants
resistant to disease. It is a well known
fact that species in the same genus
exhibit marked differences in resistance
to disease. Select and use for breed-
ing purposes the species which appear
to be resistant, as well as any of the
wild species of floricultural plants,
which are resistant in many cases, even
though they are much inferior to the
highly developed cultivated varieties.
Cross these inferior but resistant va-
rieties with the more susceptible varie-
ties and you will develop a productive
as well as a resistant race. Even as
species in the same genus vary as re-
gards disease-resistance, so also varie-
ties and races of the same species vary.
Immunity from disease of a resistant
plant, as a rule, is not permanent. This
is especially true where the vegetative
parts are used to propagate the plant
from season to season. It is, therefore,
of importance to the breeder to carry
on his work of selection and breeding
indefinitely.
Conquest of Carnation Bust.
Among the breeders of floricultural
plants the selection of resistant indi-
viduals has been carried out to some
extent. A number of years ago a car-
nation rust spread over the whole coun-
try in a short time and caused a serious
loss. The carnation breeders, after a
time, began to discard seedlings which
were susceptible to rust and used only
the more resistant varieties for cross-
ing. As a result, we find the carna-
tion varieties offered on the market to-
day to be highly resistant to rust, and
growers now pay little attention to
this once serious disease. What is true
of carnation rust is also true of chrys-
anthemum rust. By discarding suscep-
tible varieties and crossing the more
resistant ones, the chrysanthemum rust
has practically disappeared in this
country.
There is still an unlimited amount
of work to be done in this direction

by breeders of floricultural plants.
Your carnation breeder, for example,
should produce a variety of carnations
for the south that will be resistant to
stem-rot and eelworms. At the present
time, growers in certain localities of
the south are finding it almost impossi-
ble to grow carnations, due to the rav-
ages of these two diseases. The solu-
tion of the problem of yellows, which
is general throughout the country and

year, also must be solved by the car-
nation breeder. .
Your aster specialist, in his breeding
work, should give you varieties re-
sistant to wilt, a disease which causes,
under certain conditions, a serious loss
in the field every season. So, also, your
violet specialist should develop varie-
ties resistant to root-rot, a disease
which has discouraged so many of you.
The production of varieties resistant
to these diseases should go hand in

hand with breeding for color, size of
flower, and other points.
Cause of Disease-resistance.
The question might now be rightly
asked bv my readers: "What is the
cause or disease-resistance in plants?"
Immunity may be influenced by me-
chanical means of protection, rapid
growth and the chemical make-up of
the plant. Immunity may depend on
the character of the plant, on the thick-
ness of the wax layer, cuticle, cork or
bark, or on the number, arrangement
and location on the leaf or stem of
hairs, stomates and lenticels.
For example, the wax layer, hairs.
etc., on the leaf may influence the ra-
pidity of drying after watering. We
have found in some of our work here
that the quick-drying varieties were
less susceptible to a certain disease
than the slow-drying varieties.
In the case of the carnation plant,
the breathing pores on the leaves close
quickly and tightly, thus keeping out
rust infection. It has also been found
that in some carnation varieties, even
though the fungus enters the breathing
pores, it is unable to penetrate farther.
Not only is the thickness of the
cork necessary, but the rapidity with
which cork is formed.
In some cases the plants grow so
rapidly that they outgrow the effects
of the fungus. However, in other
plants the reverse is true, in that
stunted plants may be more resistant
to disease than the more rapid-growing
plants.
Of the influence of chemical sub-
stances in plants on immunity, little is
known. It has been shown, in some
cases, that disease-resistance may be in-
fluenced by the acidity of the cell sap,
the amount of sugars present in the
plant, and the production by the plants
of toxic-like compounds.

STEBILIZATION BY DBY HEAT.
Dry Heat Cheaper Than Steam.
There have been frequent inquiries
from small growers for a more econom-
ical method of sterilizing soil than the
ordinary steam process. While the
original method of diffusing live steam
under the soil by means of perforated
pipes is an excellent thing, it is not
practical where the quantity of soil to
be sterilized is not sufficient to warrant
the investment in the necessary ap-
paratus. Inasmuch as the principle of
soil sterilization is simply to heat the
soil to a temperature that will ex-
terminate insects, fungi, spores, etc., it
is immaterial what form of heat is used.
Sterilization by dry heat has been tried
and found more adaptable to the need
of the small grower who has limited
quantities of soil to be treated. The ac-
companying illustrations and descriptive
matter on the dry heat sterilizer ap-
peared in a recent issue of the Garden-
ers' Chronicle, English.
Figures and Facts.
The perspective view shows a dry
heat sterilizer suitable for the purpose.
It is constructed of bricks and will con-
sume any kind of fuel. The floor on
which the soil is placed is between the
stove at one end and the chimney at
the other. Under the floor are four
parallel flues that radiate the necessary
heat. The length of the outflt may
vary, according to requirements, up to
fifteen feet. The width is four feet six
inches. The stove, or furnace, is two
feet six inches by three inches, and the
furnace entrance is eighteen inches
wide. The fireplace is the same width,
though it may be wider where it is in-
tended to burn refuse. The connection

between the fireplace and the flues is on
a continuous line. The middle partition
between the second and third flue comes
as far as the inner side of the fireplace,
so as to divide the current of both
smoke and heat. This current is again
divided into two more chambers or flues,
as shown in the sectional view, as it is
essential to have the floor heated evenly.
Heat Smaller; Treatmeii,t Longer.
The partitions of the flues are discon-
tinued within eighteen inches from the
aperture of the chimney, while the out-
side walls are built in a funnel shape
till they join the inside of the chimney,
the height of which rarely need exceed
four feet over the floor of the sterilizer,
unless the stove is situated between
high buildings. The outside walls are
raised the height of two bricks from the
floor to hold the soil and to facilitate
covering it during the process of ster-
ilization. Once the stove is heated thor-
oughly the temperature of the soil
reaches 130 to 140 degrees. It is left
for two or three hours, when it is turned
and left again for a similar period.
The heat is more accentuated when
the soil is in a moist condition and kept
covered with bags. The temperature to
which the soil is heated by this means
certainly is lower than when steam
sterilization is practiced, yet one must
bear in mind that the length of time the
soil is kept at such a temperature com-
pensates for this deficiency, and ex-
perience proves that the results are as
beneficial to the crops.

AT THE FOOT OF THE BOOKIES.
In the foothills of the Rocky moun-
tains in British Columbia and in the
neighboring province of Alberta are
situated the three establishments of the
largest greenhouse company in the in-
terior of British (Columbia. Recent
additions have increased the totals con-
siderably, but the latest available fig-
ures show that Frache Bros., Ltd., had,
at the time they were given, 40,000
feet of glass at Lethbridge, Alberta;
17,000 at Columbia, B. C, and 20,000
at Grand Forks, B. C.
The two accompanying illustrations
show part of the concern's greenhouses
at Grand Forks, where they have been
established since 1902. This place, in
the central part of southern British
Columbia, with the excellent shipping
facilities offered by three railroads, has
at present no limit to its market. The
climate, in addition, is of the best for
the business, which includes not only
the growing of flowers for wholesale
and retail but also the growing of vege-
tables.
About six months ago the business
was expanding so rapidly that the com-
pany offered 24,000 shares of stock at
$1, par, per share, to the florists' trade,
through the advertising columns of The
Review, in order to raise the necessary
capital to erect a large additional range
of greenhouses at Grand Forks.

COHANIZING THE PUBLIC.
George Cohan is beyond question an
expert dancer. Fame, such as it is, did
not come to him, however, through his
ability to execute difficult steps on the
stage. In fact, he remained in com-
parative obscurity until he invented
some fancy steps that were more spec-
tacular than they were difficult of
execution. The public did not know —
did not care to know — that the wily
George was putting one over. Other
dancers, far more expert than Cohan
ever has been, go through with their
turns without playing to the gallery,
get a scant round of applause from the
few appreciative ones, and beat their
retreat from the stage with good grace.
George Cohan is a better advertiser
— by instinct, maybe — than he has ever
been a dancer. "You never can tell"
is a phrase that fits his case exactly in
relation to theater-goers. He found out
— more by accident, perhaps, than fore-
sight— what the amusement-loving pub-
lic wanted in the dancing line and then
did his best to give it to them. The
rest was easy — for him. In the mean-
while other dancers really more deserv-
ing than he have gone into the discard.
No, one never can tell what will at-
tract special attention from the public.
And, be he actor or tradesman, one
simply must attract attention from the
public these days, if he is to play his
own little game with any noticeable
degree of success. Here's a case in
point; and as it has all to do with a
florist it should be of interest to
florists:
A year and a half ago, to begin at
the beginning, someone brought a pine-
apple top into the greenhouse of August
C. Begerow, Inc., of Newark, N. J., and
asked H. B. McKnight, the grower for
this concern, if he thought it would
grow. Mr. McKnight answered affirm-
atively and started to see what he could
do with it. He planted it in sand con-
taining a liberal amount of cow manure
and has kept it under favorable grow-
ing conditions ever since. By autumn
it was an exceedingly attractive plant,
with a fruit three-quarters grown. The
sequel:
This same pineapple plant was ex-
hibited at the recent flower show given
in Newark under the auspices of the
Essex County Florists' Club. It was
the cynosure of all eyes, as, in the so-
ciety columns, they say of the reigning
belle. It made a distinct hit, you
might say — a common, plebeian pine-
apple top that under ordinary circum-
stances would have helped fill the
garbage can. This pineapple attracted
as much attention, seemingly, as it
would had it been a century plant in
full bloom. Later it appeared in the
Begerow window.
It would be difficult to estimate in
inches of newspaper space just how
much the exhibit was worth in advertis-
ing to the Begerow concern. The ad-
vertising value must have been con-
siderable, however. Obviously, Beg-
erow, Inc., is not fondling any false
hopes as to the commercial possibili-
ties of discarded pineapple tops, but
every florist who reads this article
should realize that such things have
advertising possibilities, particularly as
show-window attractions.

ALBANY FLOBISTS ADVERTISE.
A post-mortem of St. Valentine's
day business brings out the interesting
fact that this year many stores resorted
to printers' ink to boost the sale of
flowers for that day, by advertising the
appropriateness of roses, violets, etc.,
as valentines. Five florists of Albany,
N. Y., believed their flowers and the
sentiment of the day harmonized so well
that they spent good money to tell the
people of it through newspapers, bill-
boards and posters. Instead of each
doing his own advertising, the five
combined their appropriations and
thereby were able to put a more con-
centrated punch into the advertising.
The five who cooperated in this pub-
licity were the Rosery Flower Shop,
William C. Gloeckner, F. A, Danker,
J. T. Travison and H. G. Eyres.
Fifty billboards in all sections of the
city were used, each four by nine feet
and bearing these words: "Let Flowers
Be Your Valentine." A large number
of posters, 4x21 inches each and featur-
ing the same slogan, were placed in the
store windows. Although only five of
the florists and a few of the growers
contributed to the advertising fund,
every florist was supplied with a poster.
After paying for the posters and the
billboards there was a surplus. This
was expended in the four daily papers.
The illustration on page 19 shows
the newspaper ad in actual size. "At
Your Service for St. Valentine's Day"
is the catch line and the names and ad-
dresses of the advertisers are displayed
in the center. While this advertisement
undoubtedly brought good returns, it
would have been more efficient if the
advertisers in their hurry had not for-
gotten what they were advertising. The
purpose of the ad was to suggest flow-
ers as valentines, yet the word flowers
does not appear in the ad, not to men-
tion something more specific, such as
roses Or violets. Five confectioners or
five stationers could have used the same
ad by simply changing the names and
addresses. That this was a profitable
advertisement, however, is the claim;
many of the readers evidently knew
the names well enough to recognize
what was being advertised.
William Gloeckner says the results of
the publicity were plainly in evidence
all day Saturday and Sunday, and Mon-
day, Valentine's day, although it was
below zero outdoors, Mr. Gloeckner says
he did a bigger business than a year
ago. Being conscientious, Mr. Gloeck-
ner adds: "You probably recognize
the slogan, or keynote, of our advertis-
ing, 'I^t Flowers Be Your Valentine.'
I got it out of The Review two weeks
ago." Mr. Gloeckner is an all-year ad-
vertiser, at present having painted bill-
boards advertising the F. T. D.
"flowergram," the National Florist
service and himself. The cost of the
Valentine's day advertising was less
than $50.
THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.
Hotel Walton has been chosen as
hotel headquarters for the National
Flower Show, to be held at Philadel-
phia, March 25 to April 2.
Several additions have been made to
the schedule in the way of special
prizes. George C. Thomas, Jr., of Chest-
nut Hill, Pa., offers a prize of $50 in
the classes for private growers for the
best collection of cut roses, comprising
the varieties Killarney or Double Pink

Maryland, Jonkheer J. L. Mock, Ophe-
lia and Mrs. Aaron Ward. He also
offers in the same section a $50 prize
for the best collection of climbing roses
in flower.
A splendid location has been decided
on for the exhibits of retailers, and J.
J. HabermehPs Sons, of Philadelphia,
have reserved 600 square feet in this
section. This reservation, with the oth-
ers previously reported, insures a good
representation of retailers. The or-
chestra is to be placed on a platform
over the aisle leading from the main
floor to the main floor extension, a po-
sition which is acoustically good and
which forms a connecting link between
the two floors.
The ladies having charge of the tea
garden at the New York show are ar-
ranging to visit the Philadelphia show
in a body, the friendly rivalry existing
between the two cities in regard to
their respective tea gardens creating
quite an interest in the entertainment
features of both shows. The Boy Scouts
of Philadelphia will of&ciate as ushers
at the show, and will place themselves
at the service of the visitors with their
usual ability.
The schedule for the show includes
an aquarium exhibit such as never be-
fore attempted. Aquatic plants will, of
course, be a feature in this section.
There are over fifty classes in this sec-
tion, and it will prove to be a unique
feature of the show. The final sche-
dule now is in the printers' hands and
will be distributed about March 1. The
trade space on the main floor now is
practically all reserved, but some ex-
cellent locations on the main floor ex-
tension, which will be a popular sec-
tion of the show, are available.

EXTEEMINATOR OF MEALY BUG.
Please inform me of the best exter-
minator for the insects enclosed. They
appear to be a kind of mealy bug and
are troubling the geraniums as well as
other plants. C. A. P. — Me.
If it is mealy bug you have, the best
remedy is a force of water from the
hose, properly directed through a spray
nozzle. The bugs can be killed by
fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas,
but this is likely to cause some damage
unless used with extreme care in a
mixed collection of plants. C. W.
THE HILL CHANGES.
In pursuance of its plans for the ex-
tension of the business of the Hill
family at Richmond, Ind., it has been
decided to separate the establishments
and July 1 Joseph H. Hill will take
over the new carnation range, the
Graves place and the Cincinnati retail
store. The rose range will retain the
name of the E. G. Hill Co. The Indi-
anapolis retail store will continue under
this direction but using the distinct
corporate title, the Hill Floral Co. A
separate corporation also may be or-
ganized to carry on the Cincinnati
store. A contract has been made with
the Lord & Burnham Co., through its
Chicago oflBce, for the addition of two
houses at the Joseph Hill place, one a
growing house 60x400, "the other a
propagating house 26x212. It will be
recalled that a few years ago the orig-

Under the new form of decentralized
organization each member of the fam-
ily and each establishment will spe-
cialize, although all will work together
in close cooperation. The E. G. Hill
Co., with E. G. Hill, Earl Mann and
Miss Sarah Hill at its head, will spe-
cialize on roses; Joseph H. Hill and his
establishment will specialize on carna-
tions, and Fred H. Lemon will continue
to center his attention on pot plants

BOSE BOOTS ABE TOO DBY.
I am sending you under separate
cover an American Beauty plant that
seems to be affected with some sort of
trouble. Can you tell me the cause of
the trouble and a remedy for it! The
plants are grown in a 150-foot house,
on raised benches. The old wood was
cut back and the young shoots are sub-
ject to this trouble. The foliage be-
comes light, then begins to droop and
finally the plants die. Some time ago
I found one affected plant in a bench
of healthy ones. Sometimes the leaves
first have a dark border, then turn
brown and fall off. The night tempera-
ture is 58 to 60 degrees.
W. K.— Mo.
From the appearance of the specimen
received, the plants were 2 years old,
which had been rested for a while by
withholding water and then started up
again. The plants made new shoots,
then turned yellow and died. This
often occurs in starting up roses. The
old soil around the roots is not thor-
oughly saturated before removing any
of the soil. The new soil takes the water
readily, but the ball of old soil around
the plants will shed the water. The
plants, receiving some nnoisture through
syringing, will make weak shoots, but
the soil around the roots is dry, which
means that no new roots are made to
support the new shoots. As a result the
foliage turns yellow and, in time, the
plants die. This is probably the cause
of the trouble in this case, as the plants
adjacent to the dead one may have
taken enough water and made good
growths at the roots. W. J. K.
OBAFTED BOSE PLANTS BEST.
I want to plant white Frau Karl
Druschki roses for summer blooming
for the wholesale market. Will own-
root or grafted plants do best!
E. C. M.— N. J.
Frau Karl Druschki and all other hy-
brid perpetual roses are much better
in your state when grafted or budded.
Such stock possesses greater vigor than
that propagated from cuttings, is far
more floriferous and, at the same time,
winters better. The usual stocks used
for working hybrid perpetual roses on
are the Manetti or seedling birch, and
these are hardier than the roses them-
selves. There is no room for doubt
that in the colder states grafted roses
are much superior to own-root stock.
If you are looking for the cheapest
TO BE FOBCED FOB EASTEB.
Where would you keep potted roses
that are to be forced for Easter f I
have some of them under a bench, but
I think they are too warm there. I
also have a coldframe full of rhododen-
drons which I want in flower for Eas-
ter. How long before Easter should
these be potted and housed?
F. G. E.— Ohio.
Roses and rhododendrons for Easter
should both be in coldframes for some
time to come, Easter being late this
year. Three to four weeks' forcing
would bring in the rhododendrons for a
late Easter, while the roses may take
six to tight week?. W. H. T.
THE BOSE ANNUAL.
The yearly volume of the American
<Bose Society, soon to make its appear-
ance, will mark a distinct departure
■ from the tjj^e of society reports as
known in this country. It has been
edited by J. Horace McFarland with
the idea of making it a volume of in-
terest rather than of record.
"Inasmuch as this annual represents
a distinct advance in the handling of
the literature of rose culture in Amer-
ica," says Editor McFarland, "it is
hoped to be the first of a series of an-
nuals which will promote American
rose growing in America at least as
efficiently as it has been done in Eng-
land for England.
"Each member of the American Rose
Society will receive a copy of the an-
nual in due course. The edition, which
is considerable in size, covers only
actual needs, and I have no doubt that
the book will be out of print within
three months. Associate members
(those not engaged commercially in
rose growing or as florists) can secure
both a year's membership, the Ameri-
can Rose Annual and admission to all
the rose shows held under the auspices
of the society, for $1.
"The articles by Dr. Van Fleet and
E. H. Wilson are of unusual value, and
it will be found, I think, that the an-
nual presents also, for the first time,
the complete story with respect to rose
insects and the lamentable lack of sci-
entific attention so far to the control of
rose diseases."

ADIANTUM FBONDS ABE BBOWN.
The fronds of our maidenhair ferns
are always brown, the year around, and
the plants have not had a healthy
growth for years. Can you tell us the
probable cause of this? We transplant
them every other year. When we do this
we remove all the soil from them and
divide them into two or three roots. We
transplant them in March or the first
part of April, using three parts sandy
soil, three parts leaf-mold, one part
peat and some oil meal. They make a
particularly poor showing the first year
after being transplanted.
P. F. C— Cal.
as overwatering during this jjeriod is
liable to cause a serious check to the
root action. W. H. T.
It is taken for granted that these
ai^iantums are grown for cutting, and
the soil is too light in character to
grow good fronds for that purpose. Be-
sides, the oil meal is a somewhat doubt-
ful fertilizer for use in such a case. If
your soil is of a sandy character, it
would be best to omit the leaf-mold,
the peat and the oil meal, and use in-
stead one part of dry cow manure to
four parts of soil, breaking up the ma-
nure by rubbirifif it through a sieve of
1-inch mesh. Also, after dividing the
ferns and replanting them, be careful
in watering until the plants get a start,
FLY AND MILDEW ON FEBNS.
Kindly let me know what is the best
way to kill white fly and mildew on
Whitmani ferns in the greenhouse. Is
it advisable to water the foliage in the
evening? K. N. — Cal.
White fly is a rather difficult propo-
sition to handle on ferns, from the fact
that this insect is able to stand just
about as much as the ferns, and some-
times more when there is much young
growth on the plants. Try spraying
them with, or dipping them in, a solu-
tion of Ivory soap, the solution to con-
sist of half an ounce of the soap to one
gallon of water. Use this treatment
Tonce a week for several weeks in suc-
cession, and always protect the plants
from the sun while they are wet with
the soap solution.
Flowers of sulphur, applied with a
bellows, is the most effective treatment
for mildew on plants in general. It is
preferable to keep the foliage dry at
night, and this is best done by water-
ing early in the day. W, 11. T.

BAI.TIMOIUE:.
The Market.
During the early half of last week
the reaction from St. Valentine 's day
was felt to a large extent; the demand
in all lines was small, but later busi-
ness picked up and by the end of the
week there was little surplus stock.
The street fakers bought much stock
Thursday and Friday for Saturday's
trade, but that day was cold with high
winds and it is doubtful if many of
them obtained even the price of their
stock. The largest surplus in any one
variety was violets, both single and
double, which were in poor demand for
store trade. Callas were slow movers,
but the Easter type sold well. White,
in both roses and carnations, were none
too plentiful, and colored varieties of
both sold well. Valley is a scarcity
even at good prices. Bulbous stock sold
well, but prices have somewhat low-
ered. Gardenias have been in good
demand. Smilax is scarce, but a good
supply of other greens sold well.
Various Notes.
Louis Strunz has been handicapped
by an attack of rheumatism, but now is
better. He is sending in some fine hya-
cinths and azaleas.
J. J. Cummings has given up his
horse-drawn vehicles and installed a
delivery truck and a light car for sales-
man's use.
The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is
handling some fine Beauties, which were
the. first to be had in weeks.
James Glass has been showing fine
azaleas. His bulbous stock and cycla-
men are of special quality.
At the next club meeting, February
28, J. Otto Thilow will be the lecturer,
and it is hoped a large audience will
be present to hear his interesting talk.
F. C. Bauer's greenhouses are in fine
shape. A large number of 3-inch roses,
of which many are Radiance, are in
good condition. Mr. Bauer is suffering
from an attack of lumbago, which seri-
ously interferes with his work.
Charles E. Meehan and Edwin J. Fan-
court, of Philadelphia, were visitors

PROVIDENCE.
The Market.
Notwithstanding the heavy fall of
snow, business opened with a good send-
off for the week by the impetus given
by St. Valentine's day. Innumerable
socials created a big demand for violets
and sweet peas. Business generally is
good, but there continues a shortage of
first-class stock. Prices are a trifle
above those usually prevailing at this
time, the large number of funerals call-
ing heavily upon the supply.
Cold and Coal.
The most serious problem that the
greenhousemen are facing at the pres-
ent time is the inflated price of soft
coal. It is many years since prices on
coal have been so high in this city,
and the dealers give no encouragement
for any reduction in price in the imme-
diate future. Most of the growers
negotiate for their winter's supply by
contract during the summer months,
and those who have not used up their
contracted supply are still receiving
their coal at the contract price. The
winter has been such a hard one on

It soon outgrew its location at Euclid and Eighteenth street, removing to 5423
Euclid avenue, in the heart of Cleveland, as it is known. Miss Westman died in
1911 and Miss Getz alone in five years has developed the business to a point where
a larger organization is necessary; so the Westman & Getz Co. has been formed,
Hester A. Getz, president and manager; H. W. Dickson, secretary and treasurer,

Various Notes.
An overheated stove in the green-

building from fire.
John J. Riley died at his home a few

rienced since going into business. He
had more than sixty funeral pieces.
Hopkins, the Florist, who recently
purchased the Regester greenhouses,
had one of his boilers give out during
the cold snap last week, causing a loss
of an entire house of lilies containing
more than 3,000 plants.
Louis J. Renter, of Westerly, was a

Dahlias.
It is too early to start dahlia tubers
with any idea of planting them out,
but there are probably some varieties
of which you would like to increase
the stock. In that case, some should
be placed in heat and cuttings taken
oflf, preferably with a heel, and inserted
in a warm propagating bench. There
are, of course, objections to the Use of
green cuttings which cannot be urged
against dry roots. Cutworms may
destroy them if they are not protected,
and they lack reproductive powers
when cut off. Still, great numbers are
raised in this way and such cuttings
will produce as fine plants and flowers
as any which can be had from the dry
tuber system.
Cannas.
It is too soon to start up the cannas
unless you want to get one or two
plants of each variety in flower before
bedding-out time. You have noted how
customers invariably select geraniums,
verbenas, petunias or heliotropes that
are in flower, in preference to larger
and more vigorous plants that are not
in bloom. Why not, therefore, flower
one or two cannas and give your patrons
an idea at least of what color they are
buying? Look over the canna roots
and cut away all moldy or decaying
portions.
Show Pelargoniums.
Give show pelargoniums a final pot-
ting now, using a mixture of fibrous
loam and cow manure, with some sharp
sand and fine bone added. Drain effi-
ciently and ram the soil firmly in the
pots. These beautiful spring-flowering
plants must have a cool house to be
grown successfully. A temperature of
45 degrees at night is ample. As they
are liable to be attacked by green
aphis, give them a nicotine spraying or
fumigation once a week. Pinching the
shoots should be discontinued after the
end of February.
Mignonette.
Mignonette will flower over a long
period if liberally treated. Plants
which have been flowering since late
fall will be benefited by a mulch of old
manure. In addition, a soaking of
liquid manure can be applied once in
ten days. Mignonette must have a cool
house, not over 45 degrees at night,
and no heating pipes should run below
the benches in which it is grown. The
soil must never even approach dryness,
or the plants will soon "peter out."
Callas.
To keep callas flowering freely, it is
necessary to give them not only an
abundant supply of water, but frequent
feeding. Liquid manure is good. The
water supply will need increasing, now
that the sun is gaining in power. Try
the plan of standing each pot in a
larger pan and pack around the sides
with fresh cow manure. You will find
in a few weeks that this manure is
simply alive with active roots. The
longer we grow it the more satisfied we
are that the Godfrey calla is the vari-
ety par excellence for florists to grow.
Its large flowers are purer white than
the old C. ^thiopica and the plants
average from 200 to 300 per cent more
flowers.
Propagating Begonias.
Leaf propagation is much the best
way to secure good plants of Lorraine
and Cincinnati begonias and there is
still time to insert a batch of leaves.
They always root much more satisfac-
torily during cold weather, when the
heating pipes and cutting benches are
steadily warm. Lift and pot all leaves
as soon as they are rooted. Do not
wait for growths to appear. They will
come in due course in the pots and
will be much stronger than where the
leaves are left in the sand until they
appear.
DISEASED FORMOSA LILIES.
Enclosed I am sending a Formosa lily
bulb. Will you please tell me what is
the trouble with itf We had this same
trouble last season. This year, out of
250 bulbs, seventy are affected in this
manner. The bulbs were planted in 6-
inch pots early in November. They
have been in a temperature of 50. to
55 degrees. We have been told the
bulbs were dug green.
H. B.— N. J.
This is a common trouble, though
more in evidence usually on giganteums
than on Formosas. It is undoubtedly
due to digging the bulbs in an imma*
ture condition and then not allowing
them a sufficient period of rest before
starting them. Too much water in the
early stages of growth is also bad and
causes many lilies to become sickly.
Until the pots are full of roots and the
top growths are well started, lilies
should be kept on the dry side.

OERANIUMS DAMPING OFF.
I have had trouble this winter in
rooting geranium cuttings. Black rot
ruins more than half of every batch.
The stock plants appear to be healthy,
making good growth. I take the cut-
tings at the second leaf joint. I use
fresh sand, with a temperature of 50
degrees, and I keep the cuttings as dry
as possible without shriveling the stems.
I would blame the stock plants, Ijut cut-
tings obtained from different sources
act the same way. I would appreciate
any suggestions. G. E. Y. — Kan.
I am afraid you are trying to root
your geraniums in too low a tempera-
ture. For top heat 50 degrees will be
all right, but the sand should be 60 to
65 degrees. If you will give the cut-
tings this additional bottom heat, using
care in watering and not shading the
cuttings, I think you will have better
success. If your sand is a little too
fine, add some finely broken coal ashes.

TIME LIMIT FOR GERANIUMS.
Kindly advise me how late cuttings
can be taken from geranium stock plants
in order to have the plants in bloom by
Memorial day. D. E. — N. Y.
You can take cuttings as late as
March 1 and have plants in 3-inch pots
in flower for Memorial day. These will,
of course, be small plants compared
with those from fall or early winter
cuttings. C. W.
ROOTING GERANIUM CUTTINGS.
I would like information on how to
root geranium cuttings. I have about
5,0(J0 plants grown in 4-inch pots and
later shifted to ground benches. They
are in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees
at night, with an increase of 10 degrees
during the day. The temperature in
my propagating house is the same. This
is heated by flue pipes. I lose from
fifty to sixty per cent of the plants
during the winter months, but have no
trouble in the early spring and fall.
C. M.— N. Y.
A propagating bench containing
clear, sharp sand, through which water
passes freely, with a steady bottom
heat of 65 to 70 degrees, and with a
top heat of 15 to 20 degrees lower, will
root geraniums well. If your sand is
fine and the water does not pass quickly
through it you can improve it by add-
ing some fine coal ashes, or charcoal
with the dusty portion screened out.
The cuttings will not need shading and
will not stand the amount of water
needed for chrysanthemum, coleus or
salvia cuttings. Allow them to dry out
well between waterings. Remove them
from the bed and pot them when the
roots are a couple of inches long. If
left in longer they are liable to develop
stem-rot when potted. I think the prob-
able causes of so many cuttings damp-
ing off are, using sand which is too
fine, overw^atering and a too high and
humid temperature. C. W.

^'WANTED: COLORED OPHELIAS."
I read with great interest the article
on "Newer Forcing Roses," that ap-
peared in The Review of February 17,
which was a synopsis of a talk by E. G.
Hill before the Chicago Florists' Club,
February 10. The paragraph headed
^ I Wanted: Colored Ophelias," was par-
ticularly interesting, and I am pleased
to 'state that we have a beautiful rose-
pink sport of that grand variety. We
have good plants of this sport and ex-
pect to exhibit blooms at the fall shows.
Fred Breitmeyer.
HOW O'CABBOLL LABELS.
There may be as many ways of label-
ing plants in a bench as there are label-
•ers in the business, but I think that the
rule we follow in labeling plants is
most proper, and I hope that others will
think it so, for I recently convinced
some one that my way absolutely was
the best — a sort of "knockout punch"
this conviction was. I believe that
labeling of plants should be in accord-
ance with reading or writing, from left
to right. When a new variety is
added, only start with the label, as in
starting a sentence. We are living on
American soil, and not in the orient,
where the florists read and write from
right to left.
William J, O 'Carroll.
MOBE ON LABELING PLANTS.
Referring to the question of the prop-
er method of labeling plants in a
bench, as stated in The Review of Feb-
ruary 10, I would like to speak a word
in favor of placing the label so that
the rows of plants will read as a col-
umn of matter in a newspaper. Place
the label in the first pot at the inside
of the bench, at the left, and label the
last pot of any one variety so that the
«nd will have the same reading as the
beginning. Then the next label and
plants until the outside of the bench is
reached, the next row being started
from the inside of the bench. If this
is done any amateur instinctively will
label correctly, for it is the way he has
been taught to read. The heading of
all reading matter is at the start and
not at the end. Do not place the row
heading at the bottom of the first col-
umn row. Frank J. McGregor,
NEW YOBK.
The Market.
Last week opened with the worst
weather of the year, the thermometer
registering 2 degrees below zero. Dur-
ing the week there was a rise of over
40 degrees, followed by another fall to
zero. Frozen flowers, lots of them,
added to the problems of the growers
and wholesalers. The usual decorative
work of the retailers goes on, with an
encouraging increase as Lent ap-
proaches.
Red roses this week will be at a pre-
mium. American Beauties continue
scarce and high, the choicest selling at
$75 per hundred. Hadley at $50 and
Hoosier Beauty at $20 have been of
much service while this scarcity of
Beauties has been so manifest. All
other roses have held their quotations
of the last few weeks remarkably well,
and the novelties are as popular as ever
this season. The market February 19
was oversupplied with carnations; the
quality of these is superb; $25 per thou-
sand was top price in quantities, but in
small lots of the specialties $3 per hun-
dred was obtainable. The lower grades
sold at $20 per thousand and under.
Violets are low, notwithstanding the
freeze and the discontinuance of the
street industry. Orchids have started
their journey upward, slowly but surely,
and while 35 cents each is the average
quotation for the select, some have
sold at 50 cents each in small quanti-
ties. The tendency of prices is to ad-
vance. Valley sold last week up to
$4 per hundred. There is a scarcity of
the best flowers. Gardenias are plenti-
ful, but prices remain as usual, the best
selling at $4 per dozen. Longiflorum
lilies continue firm at the figures of the
last month. Tulips and daffodils domi-
nate the bulbous stock market and re-
ceipts are large, especially of the for-
mer, only the best of the novelties be-
ing salable at a profit. Much of the
common stock goes into the discard.
Callas are more abundant. Southern
gladioli are arriving and sweet peas in-
crease in receipts weekly. Forsythia is
used heavily in window decorations.
Southern daffodils are looked for short-
ly and there is a fine variety of spring
flowers, including daisies, calendulas,
lilac, stocks, primulas and mignonette.
Various Notes.
New York day at the National Flower
Show, March 28, will be "some day,"
from present indications. Chairman
Miller is enthusiastic over it and accep-
tances already assure a party of more
than 500. The optimists have predicted
1,000. The special rate secured is for
transportation one way, dinner and ad-
mittance to the show.
The New York spring show, opening
April 5, will outdistance any flower
show ever held in this city. The exhi-
bition space is nearly all taken and
Secretary Young now is sending out the
schedule with its $16,000 of prizes.
At the flower exhibition last week,
given by the Horticultural Society of
New York, Arthur Herrington's illus-
trated lecture on "Irises" was warmly
commended.
Thursday of this week the Greek ball
takes place. Florists and their friends
to the number of 2,000 and over will
attend. A large representation from
the American Retail Florists' Associa-
tion will be there, as well as nearly
all the wholesalers. The decorations
are immense.
The Essex County Horticultural So-
ciety enjoyed its annual banquet at the
Auditorium, Newark, N. J., February
17. An attendance of about 100, in-
cluding fifty ladies, enjoyed the eve-
ning. The tables were beautifully dec-
orated by the members. President
Hornecker acted as toastmaster. Many
of the club's members were called upon
to do their share of entertaining. Walter
Sheridan and Charles Schenck, the New
York wholesalers, made eloquent ad-
dresses. The evening was enlivened by
professional musical and vocal artists.
After midnight the young folks enjoyed
an hour of dancing. The whole affair
was delightful and a great credit to the
young and vigorous society.
The stork visited the home of W, A.
Sperling, secretary of the Stumpp &
Walter Co., February 16, and left a
babv girl.
Charles Millang this week will open,
at 52 West Twenty-sixth street, a
branch store, to be used exclusively for
the sale of plants, bulbs, nursery stock
and other Holland importations.
Miss Jacobs assumes the position of
bookkeeper for Riedel & Meyer, Inc.,
this week.
Myer Gottlieb, of Fifty-eighth street
and Madison avenue, February 19 cele-
brated the tenth anniversary of the
establishment of his business, with a
banquet at the Alps, given to his per-
sonal friends, employees and their fam-
ilies. The affair was a delightful one
and congratulations on Mr. Gottlieb's
success were general.
Joseph E. H. Morichard, "the smiling
Frenchman," who represents the S. S.
Pennock-Meehan Co., returned last week
from a southern trip, and reports busi-
ness in splendid shape in his territory.
He says there is great enthusiasm
throughout the south over the coming
convention of the S. A. F., at Houston,
Tex.
D. Minogue, formerly with the Peter-
son Nursery, Chicago, is now foreman
of the landscape department of Wood-
row & Marketos.
Guttman & Raynor have added a de-
livery automobile to their many facili-
ties.
Nicholas Schreiner has returned to
his first love and now is on the staff
of salesmen of Riedel & Meyer, Inc.
Goldstein & Futterman have installed
a new icebox and are ready to push
for a first-class trade.
The MacNiff Horticultural Co. an-
nounces the opening of the auction sea-
son March 7 — a sure augury of an early
spring. The big store at 52 to 56 Vesey
street is nearly ready for business in all
its departments.
Bowling Scores.
The New York Bowling Club is rap-
idly approaching championship form.
During the week of the International
Flower Show several matches with the
gardeners' clubs will be held. Early
in March John Donaldson's Patchogue
club will entertain the New York club.

KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
There has beeu no noticeable change
in market conditions since last report.
A big change is expected before the end
of next week, however, as the weather
is almost of summer heat, which makes
a vast difference to the local growers.
St. Valentine's day business was satis-
factory to all. There were enough cut
flowers and plants to supply all de-
mands. Corsages were popular for that
day, so violets and orchids were in
greatest demand. Carnations have de-
clined in both price and quantity. Lil-
ies and roses are more plentiful. Vio-
lets are in full crop. In bulbous stock,
narcissi are the only flowers that have
decreased in quantity. Cut flowers, as
a whole, are plentiful and meet all de-
mands.
Various Notea
Business at Arthur Newell 's is all
that could be desired. The windows are
attractively decorated with pans and
boxes of bulbous stock, white lilacs
and azaleas. Adolph Wren, formerly
of the C. A. Dahl Co., Atlanta, Ga., is
now one of the staff at this establish-
ment. With his southern politeness
and his ability, he is taking well with
the trade.
The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. is receiving some excellent carna-
tions from the greenhouses. Mr, Park-
er reports that 4,000 to 5,000 violets
are now being cut daily. This firm will
have about 4,500 lilies for the Easter
trade.
The new Boyd place, on East Ninth
street, is a big success. They have one
house there, 35x130. At the old place
in Independence, they have over 1,000
cyclamens in 5-inch and 6-inch pots
and about 20,000 geraniums. They
have a contract with a 10-cent store
to supply spring plants. A large
amount of funeral work is done at the
new place.
Samuel Murray had an attractive
window display of chorizema.
W. J. Barnes has a fine lot of mini-
ature hyacinths in bloom.
Adolph Mphr is stocking his houses
with bedding plants. He has one house
filled with lilies and potted roses for the
Easter trade.
William Foith reports that so far
this season he has had more business
than in any previous year to this date.
Dallas, Tex. — The partnership of
Ernest Rische, Jr., and Charles C.
Chollar, known as the Rische-Chollar
Floral Co., has been dissolved, Charles
Chollar retiring from the firm.
Houston, Tex. — Sealed bids will be
received at the office of the city sec-
retary until noon, March 6, for the erec-
tion of a greenhouse for the city.
Plans, specifications and regulations
may be had upon application to Maur-
ice J. Sullivan, city architect.
Brunswick, Oa. — Whenever misfor-
tune comes to C. S. Tait he grasps it
by the forelock and disposes of it in
a cheerful manner. Under date of
February 15 Mr. Tait says: "I got a
delayed valentine last night from Jack
Frost, which bit off the buds of all my
splendid sweet peas, growing outdoors.
If it does not freeze tonight, the peas
may sprout and 'come back.' I have
a mile of them along a wire fence,
many of them six feet in height."
Birmingham, Ala. — The McVay Seed
& Floral Co., which is doing a good re-
tail flower business, found it possible
to largely increase the St. Valentine's
day sales this year. This is a flower
day that heretofore has not cut much
figure in the south, but a good window
display, with some attractive show
cards, served to largely increase the
sales this year. The flower department
now is in charge of E. Olsen, who is a
proficient window decorator. The pres-
ident of the company is R. V. Mobley;
the vice-president J. Howard Perdue;
the secretary and treasurer R. V. Har-
ris.
Jacksonville, Fla. — The women of
Jacksonville held a floral tag day Feb-
ruary 14, for the purpose of raising a
charity fund. One order of 5,000 car-
nations was given to the Tomlinson &
Key Floral Co.
Jacksonville, Fla. — The Riverside
Gardens, the new branch of the Glen
St. Mary Nurseries Co., of Glen St.
Mary, Fla., had a successful formal
opening. The gardens have become
one of the show places of Jacksonville.
This company was established in 1882
by G. L. Taber, the president and treas-
urer. H. Harold Hume is vice-presi-
dent and secretary; J. K. Bowers, su-
perintendent of Riverside Gardens; W.
B. Mathis, field foreman; John Schna-
bel, greenhouse manager.
Charlotte, N. C— The other day,
when everybody on the street was
wearing a carnation, a stranger might
have thought it was Mothers' day or
some other flower day, but it was only
the opening day of the new store of
W. W. Schlotz. at 8 North Tryon
street. Mr. Scholtz had taken pains to
inform the city of the formal opening
of his new store, by means of ads in
the papers, and, knowing the common
failing of human nature for anything
that is free, he had two free offerings
for the occasion. One was a souvenir
flower, the other was a jardiniere, con-
taining a fern, free with a purchase
of $1 or more. Mr. Scholtz 's ads were
ten inches deep and seven columns
wide, and embellished with a good il-
lustration. Who says the south is be-
hind the times?
He grows mostly for cut flowers, but
is preparing for a large bedding plant
trade this spring.
The Roberts Flower Shop reports
business better than expected, espe-
cially in plants.
Business across the state line, for
St. Valentine's day, was ten per cent
better than last year.
The Linwood Floral Co. has its green-
houses well filled with bedding stock
and funeral work was good all winter.
T. J. Noll & Co. have sold some more
pots to the city greenhouses. They re-
port business in supplies double that
of last year. W. J. B.
OMAHA, NEB.
The Market.
Business in this city and vicinity
during the last few months has been
all that could be expected. Funeral
work was exceptionally heavy. Bulb-
ous flowers are the only plentiful stock
in the market. Beauties are scarce
and the few that have been seen are
poor in quality. The Killarneys and
other varieties have been of good qual-
ity but extremely short in quantity.
An increase in the supply of roses is
looked for. Carnations are arriving in
heavy supply, but the quality is poor.
Potted stock is fine, but the demand
is not what it should be.
Various Notes.
J. F. Wilcox & Sons, of Council
Bluffs, la., see a great future for the
Mrs. Russell rose. It is their inten-
tion to drop about half their Beauties
and replace them with about 20,000
grafted Mrs. Russell plants.
Lovgren & Swedland, who a few
months ago opened a flower store at
Fortieth and Farnam streets, state
that they are well satisfied with the
location and that business has been
excellent.
George Sorensen is busy with bed-
ding stock these days. He has a rei
seedling carnation that looks good.
Miss Parker, who was seriously ill
for several months, is able to be back
at her store. Her many friends will
be glad to hear of her recovery.
Hess & Swoboda report business as
being exceptionally good. Roses are
off crop at present, but they soon will
be cutting stock. Owing to a bad start,
the carnations now are producing their
first crop. Primulas, cyclamens, lilies
and bulbous stock are exceptionally
fine. Mr. Swoboda, who, while crank-
ing his automobile, broke his arm,
now is able to use it, but not to crank
an auto on a cold morning.
Bowling Scores.
February 16 the boys from across
the "muddy brink" turned out in full
force and gave us a trimming we will
not forget for a while. It is the first
time, and we hope the last, that the
Omaha bowlers were defeated. Follow-
ing is the score of last week:

OBITUARY
Conrad Bergstermann.
Conrad Bor^stcririann, of St. liOiiis,
Mo., (lied February liO, from a siuldoii
heart stroke. He had apparently en-
joyed the best of health up to the time
of his death. Those who saw him at the
dance of the St. Louis Florists' Club,
February 18, little thought they wouhl
attend his funeral a few days later.
He was a mendior of the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club and of the Uetail Florists'
Association. ITe was born May 0, 1857,
at BorfTJoh, near Osnabruck, Gcitnany,
where he learned the florists' trade.
In 1885 he t-ame to this country and
immediately found work at his trade
in St. Louis. Fifteen years ago he or-
fianizcd the firm of Pape & Berfrster-
mann, but thriM' years later he sold his
interest and built a store and green-
house at 3117 South Grand avenue,
where he had a prosperous business
until his death.
His wife died eight months ago. Ed-
win Nibling, ISfrs. Hulda Ruff, his step-
children, and Oscar Ruff, a son-in-law,
are left to mourn his loss. The funeral
took place February 23, from his late
residence, ,'^117 South Grand avenue, to
Concordia cemetery. The members of
the Florists' Club and the Retail Flo-
rists' Association attended in a body.
There were great numbers of floral of-
ferings. J. ■'. B.

Roderick Royce, veteran nursery-
man of Shellsburg, Ta., died at liis
home February 8, after an illness of
several months' duration. Mr. Royce
was born in ^Monticello, N. Y., Febru-
ary 21, 1845. In 1867 he married Miss
Charlotte Divine, of Liberty, N. Y.
The following year the young couple
moved to Shellsburg, Ta., where Mr.
Royce started his nursery business.
Ho was first associated with J. L.
Budd, and later with Oscar Bergen.

work has been heavy, and this, with
the regular business in cut flowers, has
consunieil most of the stock. C'orsage
bouquets seem to be more in demand
this spring than cner b(>fore.
Hardy ornamentals arc selling rapid-

material report a larger number of in-
quiries, and for more important building
projects, than in any season in recent
years. One of the special features is the
large percentage of inquiries which con-
cern wide houses, from fifty to ninety
feet.
The margin of profit in retailing from
one's own greenhouse has been so good
any happy-go-lucky method of manage-
ment sufficed. But rising costs are cut-
ting down the florists' profit. It soon
will be necessary to watch the pennies if
there are to be any dollars in the busi-
ness.
The call for geraniums for growing
on is the heaviest ever known. Many
growers report the number of cuttings
obtained last autumn as much less than
usual, because of unfavorable weather
conditions. Under glass, in many oases
the stock plants have not given a good
account of themselves.
To build a really large florists' busi-
ness calls for talents rarely found in one
man, the artistic and the financial. The
best combination is a partnership in
which one man's abilities are directed
toward turning out high class stuff and
the other's are centered on seeing that
the firm takes in more than it agrees to
pay out.
THE WAS HITS OUB OOVEB.
The basis for the dye used in produc-
ing the orange cover which has become
so well known as a distinctive mark of
The Eeview is a chemical named aura-
mine. It is a coal tar product manufac-
tured exclusively in Germany. The
supply in America is exhausted. Last
week The Eeview used the last of its
supply of the orange cover and this
week appears with the nearest obtain-
able substitute. It is nowhere near so
good, though it cost considerably more
than the stock heretofore used. Next
week something entirely different will
be used; after that, no one knows what.
Papers of bright, attractive colors are
practically out of the market. There
is no chance of obtaining a fresh supply
of the orange cover until the war is
ended, or until the United States has
developed a dye industry of its own. In
the meantime, if The Eeview becomes
a vaiiegated journal, it will not be
chargfcable to the editor, but to the war
in Europe.
HONORABLE MENTION.
Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Eeview $2, $3, or some-
times $5, instead of the dollar bill that
insures fifty-two visits of the paper.
Among those who have this week en-
rolled themselves for more than one
year in advance are:
FIVE YEARS.
Thomas. J. C, Clarkdale. Ariz.
Green, C. H., Fremont, Neb.
TWO YEARS.
De Vrles, Thomas, Santa Barbara. Cal.
Hemwick, Owen A., Stamford, Conn.
Richards Bros., Toughkenamon, Pa.
I^wls, Edward, Kansas City, Mo.
Winkler, Cl.irence, Hastings, Neb.
Nlessner, H., Johnstown, Pa.
Nielsen Bros., Chicago.
The Eeview stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.
AGAIN, CAN YOU BEAT IT?
"While Eeview ads never sleep, it is
in the early months of the year that
they seem most wakeful. While re-
turns are almost uniformly good, the
results at this season often are sur-
prising; advertisers get returns so
great as to be almost unbelievable when
compared with the cost of selling mer-
chandise by other methods. The evi-
dence multiplies:
Please discontinue my ad for geraniums and
coleus, as two Insertions cleaned me out. — A. J.
Peterson, Washington, la., February 10, 1916.
Please do not run that ad again; we are sold
out and It is costing much postage to return the
orders still coming in. — J. S. Bennett, Pawpaw,
111., February 13, 1916.
The Bevlew gave good results this week. We
enclose $35.55.— F. W. Rochelle & Sons, Chester,
N. J., February 12, 1916.
Ple.ase discontinue mv ad for geranium rut-
tings and give me a chance to catch up. Your
paner is enough to swamp any man with orders.
— James Moss, JohnsvlUe, Pa., February 14,
1916.
Please cancel my ad in The Review, as it has
brought me all the orders I can handle. — W. B.
Currey, De Land, Fla.. February 7, 1916.
It is worth while noting that some
of these advertisers' offered plants,
while one offered dirt bands, but the
last one offered greens, his advertise-
ment of two lines having appeared
three times. He says he got "all the
orders I can handle" and the cost was
60 cents!
When you hear a man complaining
of the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Eeview.
ONE OF THE DANQEBS.
It s6ems quite possible that business
in this country now has become so good
that it is to the disadvantage of florists
as a class. The unprecedented export
demand, together with a shortage in
certain classes of raw materials, has
resulted in a tremendous rise in prices,
including almost every article used in
greenhouses or flower stores. Of course
general prosperity has some effect on
the demand for flowers, enabling many
to buy who can not do so during periods
of unemployment, but it is a question if
this has not now been fully offset by
the increase in the prices of the necessi-
ties of life. The difficulties of doing
business have been greatly increased by
car shortages, the impossibility of se-
curing prompt deliveries of necessary
articles, and by other factors which
make the average florist as much
trouble as he was having a year ago,
when the country as a whole was not
nearly so well employed.
CHIOAOO.
The Market.
So gradual was the change wrought
in Chicago market conditions during
the last week that it was effected with-
out shock. Whereas there has for two
months been a marked shortage in sev-
eral standard items, there is now some-
thing approaching a glut in all but a
few lines. A quite common state of
affairs has prevailed as relates to de-
mand. Shipping trade has maintained
a normal volume, while local trade has,
with the exception of a slight revival
during the week's end, been decidedly
lethargic.
The status of Beauties remains prac-
tically unchanged. There are scarcely
enough of them, of even passable grade,
to cut any figure on the market. Al-
most all other varieties of roses are
plentiful, and though prices are some-
what lowered as a result, there is no
difficulty experienced in clearing re-
ceipts. This condition has quite natu-
rally had its effect on the demand for
other kinds of stock.
Carnations of every kind are in large
supply. The red varieties, however,
seem to have the lead in demand. There
is still too large a percentage of splits
to be satisfactory. The supply of val-
ley continues short. This, of course,
is a strategy of the growers, who figure,
and rightly, that any item kept on the
short side of the market remains an ob-
ject of interest and one to be coveted.
Of Easter lilies there are more than
enough. Callas, too, are fully sufficient
to meet the demand. Cattleyas, on the
other hand, are none too plentiful. The
greater part of the last seven days vio-
lets moved in a most unsatisfactory
manner, but February 19 and 20 a sud-
den demand for them for corsage pur-
poses relieved the situation. But this
demand ceased with the opening of the
week. Sweet peas are decidedly scarce.
All week the white varieties have been
at a premium. This is undoubtedly at-
tributable to the trouble growers have
been experiencing with buds dropping.
There are not a great many daisies to
be found on the market, and as a result
they clear readily. Snapdragon, calen-
dulas and mignonette are not in large
supply. Paper Whites are clearing well,
but the supply is not large. There are
liberal quantities of Eomans, daffodils
and jonquils and they move well con-

Our Rose Crops

T WILL BE GOOD NEWS to the trade that our Rose crops again are heavy.
It is well known our supply includes all the
newest and most popular varieties grown by
men who know how — no better stock anywhere.
This week we announce a general reduction
in price, as we again are able to fill all orders. Specially
strong on Russell, Killarney Brilliant, Ward, Opheha, Kil-
larney and White Killarney.
Carnations
The quality of our Carnations is extremely good and the supply
is the largest of the season to date— we can fill all orders, but we
have no surplus, because buyers prefer our Carnations to any
others.
Lilies
Use Giganteum Lilies for
Funeral Sprays and for Wed-
ding Decorations. These are
the largest and showiest flow-
ers for the money and we offer
a large crop.
Bulb Stock
We handle more bulbous
flowers than any other whole-
sale house in this part of the
country. Tulips, Daffs, Jon-
quils. Of course the quality is
good.

sidering the number of roses and car-
nations available. ' The demand for
freesia is greater than for other bulbous
flowers. Tulips are in more than suffi-
cient supply to go around. Dutch hya-
cinths are meeting with a fair sale.
With the possible exception of Mex-
ican ivy, greens are in sufficient supply,
and are moving in a fairly satisfactory
manner. Ferns are in poor shape; the
shrinkage in picking over is heavy.
It Should Pay Big.
A. C. Spencer has conceived another
of his bright ideas. He believes large
numbers of people have stopped buying
flowers because the prices have been too
high this winter. But he is confident
they will resume buying as soon as they
find flowers again are moderate in price
and good in quality. His idea is that
the present and impending state of the
market should be advertised by strong
unsigned display ads in the daily paper,
paid for by contributions, $1 from small
retailers or growers, $5 from large ones,
so that everybody would feel like chip-
ping in. It seems like a scheme that
would bring good results for everybody.
The only trouble is to get someone to
do the work. Mr. Spencer hopes to get
the Tribune to get up such an ad and
to set its classified solicitors at the job
of submitting it to all the florists, the
space to be used to depend on the sum
of money raised. It takes about $100
per column to buy space in the Tribune.
The New Budlong Place.
As soon as frost is out of the ground,
work will be begun on the three green-
houses of the L. A. Budlong Co., on
one of its farms on the eastern edge of
the town of Niles. These houses, which
will be 600 feet long and three benches
wide, will be devoted to the growing
of roses. As yet, no one has been se-
lected to superintend the plant. In
connection with this departure on the
part of one of the largest market gar-
den concerns in the country, it is in-
teresting to note that the founder of
the company started in the general gar-
dening business in this vicinity in 1857.
As J. J. Budlong puts it, the erection
of greenhouses by the company and the
growing of cut flowers is the most nat-
RUSSELLS and ROSES
From now on, until the season is over, the House of Kennicott will
be able to furnish any quantity of the popular Russell, as well as
every other variety of Rose that the commercial "Flower- world" knows.
The Florists' Trade is divided into two classes— one, those who know
that Kennicott' s Quality Cuts are the kind to buy; the other, those
who have never tried, and don't know anything about it.
To those who know, we need say nothing. To those who are still
in the dark as to the Kennicott Kind of Flowers, let us say this:
"Just give ns a chance to make good. Now is the time."

Rose Prices in January.
Joseph Kohout, of Libertyville, says
that if growers would keep a more ex-
act record of rose cuts and cash re-
ceipts they would not lose anything by
it. His record, he says, shows much
of the talk of high prices in January
to have been without warrant. He
maintains that the quality of his crops
has not varied much frbm year to year,
the proportion of young plants being
about the same each season and the
cultural methods the same. His rec-
ords show, he says, January, 1914, to
have been the banner one. In January,
1915, he cut 5,230 more roses and re-
ceived for them $241 less. In January,
1916, he cut 17,245 more roses than in
the same month of 1914, and received

flower house in the Atlas block for sev-
eral years and Miss L. A. Tonner has
been engaged in the florists' supply busi
ness since the days of Vaughan, McKel-
lar & Winterson, with which firm she was
employed. At one time she was with
E. H. Hunt, and later it was she who
started the supply department of the
A. L. Randall Co. The bookkeeper for
the new firm will be Miss Anna Tonner,
a younger sister. The florists' business
seems to run in this family, as the
father and uncle and brother of the
ladies were all florists.
The new firm will occupy rooms 205
and 206 of the Atlas block. At the
present time the painters, decorators
and carpenters are having things much
their own way, but the house is trans-
acting business.
Various Notes.
The development of a larger business
is indicated by the incorporation of the
Johnson Basket Co., with $2,400 capital
stock. The incorporators are Charles
A. Johnson, Oscar Leistner and Theo-
dore Kirchen, all of whom are well
known in the trade in Chicago. Mr.
Johnson is a retail florist who devel-
oped baskets for his own use and found
them so salable he began .wholesaling.
Mr. Leistner is a manufacturers' sales
agent, who established a wide connec-
tion, first as sales representative of Ove
Gnatt, perpetuator of foliages. Mr.
Kirchen is Mr. Leistner *s chief assist-
ant.
It is interesting to note how now
and then an old variety comes back.
The Killarney rose was tried and prac-
tically discarded before its merit was

George Sykes, western manager for

The floods in California, according to

One of the preventives of ennui at
the Alois Frey establishment at Crown
Point is a brown moth that lays its
eggs in the snapdragons, where these
hatch and become long, slim green
worms, that wax fat on the tender
leaves. Fumigation burns the foliage
before it inconveniences moth or worms.
A sharp eye and a busy hand is all
that gives the crop a chance. Most of
the moths are killed on the south glass
in the morning.
C. A. Wooley, of the Illinois Flower
Box Co., states that orders have been
coming with a rush the last few weeks
and that he is looking forward to an
unusually busy season. The line has

Dr. J. R. Buchbinder, interested with
Sidney Buchbinder in the firm of
Buchbinder Bros., manufacturers of
florists' refrigerators, has gone to Ger-
many, accompanied by an uncle and
aunt, to take charge of a 500-bed hos-
pital for the German army. It is said
to have been the first hospital unit
to go from this country to aid the Ger-
man soldiers and therefore has been
given much newspaper publicity.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
The weather has played, as it fre-
quently does, an all important part
in the conditions surrounding the sale
and purchase of cut flowers. Balmy,
spring-like softness February 18 changed
to arctic chill February 19, with dam-
aging eflfect on Saturday's business.
Carnations suffer, the heavy receipts
being more than suflicient for the de-
mand under these adverse conditions.
The price fell a little, although the best
flowers brought list prices. There were
too many of them and the lower grades
felt the decline more. Sweet peas of
orchid type did fairly well, but the
older style of so-called winter-blooming
sweet peas were entirely out of the
running. Unless exceptionally well
grown, these ordinary sweet peas are
too small and too short-stemmed to
meet market requirements. Daffodils
have recovered somewhat with lighter
receipts; they are selling fairly well at
prices that will make the average some-
thing like $20 per thousand. Good tu-
lips are good stock, though most of the
tulips are not good just now. Paper
"Whites are in lighter supply; freesia is
fairly plentiful. Violets are doing
rather better, at prices near $5 per
thousand. Fine snapdragon is in de-
mand; it can be had in limited quan-
tity in yellow, white and several shades
of pink, one of these approaching lav-
ender. The receipts of roses, mostly
short and medium grade, are heavier.
They sell well. The fancy grades are
in demand only in moderate quantity
and only in the fancy varieties. Long-
stemmed Beauties find a limited mar-
ket. There are no mediums and only
a few good shorts. Cattleyas are rather
dull. Gardenias have been going well.
Easter lilies are more plentiful, at
prices that vary with the quality.
Callas also are more plentiful; those
that are not first-class, either as to cul-
ture or careful packing, suffer. There

are heavy receipts of southern aspara-

The National Flower Show.
A. Farenwald presided over a meet-
ing of the flower show committee held
at No. 1205 Widener building, Feb-
ruary 17. It was announced that a
prominent citizen was considering the
purchase of 5,000 tickets to be dis-
tributed among the members of the
garden clubs of the various schools.
It was decided to invite the 100 in-
mates of the Widener Memorial Home
for crippled children to be the guests
of the National Flower Show one day
during the exhibition, the florists to
provide motor transportation from the
home to the hall and wheel chairs in
the building for those who need them.
It was announced that 10,000 trade tick-
ets have been ordered. These tickets
are intended to be given away, not
sold, by the purchasers. It was an-
nounced that the Boy Scouts had been
engaged free of cost to distribute the
programs during the show. It was an-
nounced that cups have been offered
by Bailey, Banks & Biddle and by Mc-
Donald & Campbell. It was announced

will devote special supplements to the

it is open. Charles Henry Fox an-
nounced that he has secured permission
to extend four large banners across
Broad, Market and Chestnut streets,
from March 1 for one month. Charles
H. Grakelow proposed as a special fea-
ture an art gallery, to be composed of
flowers in picture frames, each florist
to be entitled to enter and care for one
exliibit in this gallery and to place his
card on the frame.
Wet or Dry?
There has been a lively struggle over
the character of the banquet to be ten-
dered to the visiting florists during the
National Flower Show. This contest
narrowed down to the single question,
"Shall we or shall we not have wine?"
To this was added the side issue of
where the banquet should be held. Those
favoring an Adam's ale banquet also
favored Horticultural hall, probably be-
cause of its association and freedom
from the suspicion of having a bar.
Those who fancy chickens, feathers
and divers other beverages were in-
clined to the Bellevue-Stratford, al-
though willing to compromise on the
Hotel Walton. The drys urged that the
profession was on parade before the
world; that the governor of the state,
the mayor of the city and other digni-
taries might be there; that their wives
and daughters and sweethearts would
be there, and that if one person in the
hundreds there assembled became, let
us say, noisy, the pleasure of the great
occasion would be marred. The wets
urged with equal earnestness that a
wineless banquet was like Hamlet with
the Noble Dane left out; that to ask
a man to be your guest at a great din-
ner and then waterlog him was a crime;
that to accept hospitality everywhere
and restrict your own hospitality was
niggardly; that the speeches would lack
fire ami the interest would lag — in
short, the affair would fail. The great
wave of prohibition that is sweeping
over the country has had its effect, and
after the Florists' Club's entertainment
committee 's meeting was over it was
announced that the drys had won by
the odd vote and that the banquet
would be held in Horticultural hall.
There is a curious little bit of his-
tory connected with this contest. When
the convention of the S. A. F. was held
here, August, 1907, the entertainment
committee decided to take the conven-

tion to Wildwood, N. J. Wildwood is
a strictly prohibition seashore resort,
where, as the wets disgustedly re-
marked, "You not only did not give
a man anything to drink, but made it
impossible for him to get anything for
himself." You see they had not been
there and knew nothing of Holly Beach.
So the wets rose in their wrath, called
another meeting, dragged to it every
man they could muster and most ille-
gally overturned the Wildwood plan
and carried the convention to Fair-
mount Park, with an alcove known to
the elect near the banquet tent. Of
course, the dry committeemen resigned
at such high-handed measures.
Various Notes.

The event of the week is the an-
nouncement by the Philadelphia Whole-
sale Florists' Exchange that William A.
Leonard, the noted rose grower of
Lansdowne, Pa., has become a partner
in the house. Their card now reads
Leonard, Duetscher & Glazer. They
announce the addition of a number of
new growers.
Vollers' House of Flowers and the
Strafford Flower Farms have entered in
the retail classes of the National Flower
Show.
Eugene Bernheimer announces that
the Florex Gardens have received an
order for 10,000 Prima Donna rose
plants. Robert Simpson, of Clifton,
N. J., and Louis J. Reuter, of Westerly,

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. announce that
the British government has lifted the
embargo on a large number of cases of
German goods ordered prior to March
1, 1915. Mr. Bayersdorfer is making
strenuous efforts to get these goods
across the sea.

which melted the snow and made walk-

Bulbous stock is arriving in increas-

reasonable. Hyacinths, especially, are
appearing in greater quantity and va-
riety. Carnations are abundant and are
normal in price. Orchids are still plen-
tiful and cheap. American Beauties
and the other leading varieties of roses
are scarce and the prices keep up well.

not all of as high grade as might be de-

of fine quality and sell at reasonable
prices. Excellent mignonette is arriv-
ing, and in greater quantity than here-
tofore this season. White lilacs have
just made their appearance, but are
not yet abundant. Daisies are arriving
in considerable quantities. There con-
tinues to be a large amount of funeral
work. St. Valentine business was fair-
ly good, as was the business in connec-
tion with Washington's birthday. There—-
was no great rush, however, on either
occasion.
Various Notes.
Henry A. Strobell had a unique win-
dew display for Washington's birthday.
Just as soon as St. Valentine's day had
passed, he filled one of his windows
with several thousand artificial cher-
ries, some in small baskets and some in
sprays or bouquets. In the midst of
these was the representation of a tree
stump, over which was draped an
American flag. Near the base of the
stump were a couple of hatchets.
Charles Trauth has been rushed with
funeral work during the last ten days.
He reports much more profit in the stock
he handles now than tliere was in the
same quantity a month ago.
S. S. Rogers, of the S. S. Rogers
Nursery Co., has hit upon a novelty
that has taken well in the short time
that he has had it on sale. It is called
a place-card basket. The baskets are
1%-inch, with a 2-inch handle, and are
partly filled with sheet moss. In the
top of eaclj basket is a little partridge
berry vine, with berries, a few fine
fern leaves and one or two fine flowers.
The J. J. Wilson Seed Co. has re-
ceived its full consignment of German
seeds. Mr. Wilson reports that the out-
look for business is good. R. B. M.

The Market.
The first part of last week resembled
somewhat the three or four days before
Christmas or Easter. With the extra
help everyone was kept busy filling or-
<lers for St. Valentine's. Stock of all
kinds was more plentiful than expected,
with the exception of two or three
items. Flowers, such as violets, sweet
peas, freesias, Eoman hyacinths and the
smaller varieties of roses, were in large
demand for corsage bouquets. All kinds
of bulbous stock and carnations sold
heavily. American Beauties continue
as scarce as the week previous, but
there is a noticeable increase in the
other varieties of roses, with Ophelia,
Killarney and Sunburst in the lead.
Good carnations are scarce and move
without any difficulty, while the infe-
rior grades are more abundant and slow
of sale. Red carnations cleared readily
for Valentine's day. Bulbous stock is
plentiful and sells rapidly considering
the volume. Jonquils and daffodils are
largely used in decorations, because
thej' give a spring-like effect. Sweet
peas are again becoming popular, which
has an effect on the violet. Neither
the doubles nor the singles are too
abundant. Valley and orchids continue
scarce, the former selling at $6 per
hundred. Easter lilies are gradually in-
creasing in supply. Snapdragons, mig-
nonette, pansies, freesias and calendulas
are moving nicely.
Potted plants, such as cyclamens,
daffodils, tulips and hyacinths, prettily
trimmed, were a feature for St. Valen-
tine's day.
Various Notes.
F. G. Nelson, Burlington, la., called
on the trade last week.
S. D. Woodruff & Sons had an ex-
hibit of seeds, bulbs and plants at the
convention of the hardware association.
W. Preisach, of Corfu, who built a
greenhouse last summer 35x200 feet, in-
tends to erect another house this sum-
mer 35x200. He reports that he is
picking his share of stock and that busi-
ness is good.

The Market.
Business for St. Valentine's was
up to its usual good standing and flow-
ers for the occasion were in fine con-
dition. Most stores used the heart-
shaped corsage box, which greatly
added to the effect. We are having a
dreary spell of weather, with snow con-
tinually falling, and some days with-
out any sun at all. Outside tempera-
tures have varied from zero to 25 de-
grees above. Nevertheless, stock has
come along in fine shape.
This week's trade has called for a
large quantity of potted plants, such
as tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, of
which there are plenty. Some fine
azaleas are on the market.' The cut
flower supply remains about as usual.
Good shipments of roses arrive each
day and are usually cleaned up. Little
is seen of short-stemmed stock, for
which there is a strong demand, for
funeral work. Eussell, Ophelia, Hoosier
Beauty, Sunburst and Ward continue to
sell well. The supply of Golden Spur
and other varieties of jonquils is fair-
ly large and they sell readily. Daffo-
dils move freely. Carnations are be-
coming more plentiful and sell quick-
ly, especially in the lighter shades.
Calla lilies sell well, but little is seen
of Easter lilies. Valley is of good
quality. Paper Whites bring the grow-
ers more returns than they have in
several years, but are getting cheaper.
Yellow and white tulips move freely.
Violets sell satisfactorily and orchids
are good and sell fairly well. Sweet
peas, which are fairly plentiful, are be-
ing used freely in corsage and basket

Supplies are becoming somewhat un-
wieldy for the demand. Weather con-
ditions have not been of the best for
flower production, but the demand has
not been robust. Of a few flowers
there is as yet no noticeable surplus,
but the majority now are somewhat too
abundant. Roses continue to hold the
best position and of these there is really
no surplus, but prices now show a sag-
ging tendency. American Beauties con-
tinue scarce and high; select flowers
make $6 to $9 per dozen. Ophelia, Sun-
burst, Eussell, Hadley and Killarney
Brilliant sell well. Ophelia continues

easily the most popular rose we have.
Sunburst will soon displace Ward en-
tirely, but it is not so good a color.
Killarney and White Killamey clean up
well. Carnations now drag considerably
and many are carried over each day.
Matchless now comes of better quality
and is popular as a white. Pink De-
light is the most prominent among flesh
pinks, but Alice has many friends and
it will be more heavily planted here
next season. It has a larger flower than
Pink Delight and is a freer bloomer.
An objection is that it loses its color
sooner than Delight. For that reason it
needs pinching a little earlier.
"Violets are low and do not sell well.
Sweet peas of good quality clean up
nicely. They are abundant. Yellow
marguerites bring fancy prices, as high
as $4 per hundred in some cases. Dutch
bulbous flowers are abundant and prices
show recessions on all the items. Mu-
rillo and La Beine are the favorite
tulips. Golden Spur and Silver Spur
are the best narcissi. As yet there is
no surplus of snapdragons. Lilies,
callas and valley are abundant. There
is a good supply of calendulas, mignon-
ette and freesias. There are plenty of
cattleyas, but gardenias continue scarce
and bring from $3 to $6 per dozen.
English primroses, wallflowers, ane-
mones, forget-me-nots, cornflowers and
leptosynes are seen among the other
flowers. Asparagus is not abundant
and sells well.

of our most successful bulb specialists,
whose flowers always gain top market
prices. He considers Murillo and La
Reine the two leading commercial tu-
lips, although he grows Couronoe; d'Or
and one or two other varieties. Golden
Spur is the best narcissus, followed by
Victoria. He had -one batch of 12,000
Golden Spurs which rooted finely and
threw up good foliage, but all the flow-
ers were dead in the bulbs. Soine Vic-
torias in the same shipment are acting
in the same way. He cannot determine
what caused ■ the trouble. It was not
heating, for that discolors the bulbs.
The shipper suggested gas as a probable
cause, but why did this not destroy the
embryo foliage as well?
At the next meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club, March 21, Wil-
lia'm H. Judd, of the Arnold Arboretum,
will read a paper on "Trees and Shrubs
for Spring Planting."
The Welch Bros. Co. reports business
as showing a vast improvement over
1915. Roses are about equal to the
demand, but there is an ample supply
of other flowers and greenery.
H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, was first
in the market with the Victoria nar-
cissus, always a favorite here. He also
has ornatus, princeps. Von Sion and
Golden Spur. Jn tulips he makes a spe-
cialty of Prosperity, in addition to La
Reine and Murillo.
At Galvin's Park street store business
has been good of late. They "are show-
ing some handsome acacias, lilacs, rho-
dodendrons and other flowering plants,
and always have a good orchid display.
In the report of the last meeting of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club I
inadvertently omitted reference to a
superb vase of Rosette, from A. A. Pem-
broke. These were from 2-year-old
plants which had not been cut back
and Mr. Pembroke said they were far
ahead of the 1-ycar-old i)lants in every
way.

next year an effort will be made to
have them ready by January 1. The

The weather last week was fine, caus-
ing increased activity in business and
also causing stock to arrive in heavy
supply. The great increase in the quan-
tity of violets resulted in a big slump
in prices; sales were reported at $2
per thousand. The most noticeable fea-
ture was the shortage of roses. A great
crop, however, is predicted should the
bright weather continue. Carnations,
on the other hand, were plentiful and
some of them were dumped for want of
demand. These are exceptionally fine
in quality. There is a big demand for
bulbous stock and few are left over
after the morning sales. Southern daf-
fodils hurt the sale of home-grown
stock. The best Spencer sweet peas
sell at a good price. There is a big de-

Various Notes.
One of the best social affairs ever
given by the Florists' Club was held
February 18, at Kleekamp's hall. The
club's trustees deserve great credit for
its success. The hall was beautifully
decorated with plants and cut flowers.
A large bouquet, made of fifty-seven
varieties of flowers, came from the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden. The young
folks came out in full force and occu-
pied the dancing floor until midnight.
About 100 couples were in attendance!
It was voted a grand success and will
surely be repeated before the close of
the dancing season.
David S. Geddis, head of the floral
department at Vandervoort 's, was on
the sick list last week, but is now
ready to arrange for a big representa-
tion at the National Flower Show at
Philadelphia, next month.
The County Growers' Association will
hold an important meeting March 1.
Acting-President Edwards and Secre-
tary Joseph Deutschmann are arrang-
ing for a large attendance. Their
slogan is "Come early and get a seat."
Andy Von Hoffman, manager of
Waldbart's Grand avenue establish-
ment, was laid up with the gout last
week. From latest reports, however, he
was back on the job, doing two men's
work.
It is reported that Henry Blixen has
severed his connection with J. F. Am-
mann & Co., of Edwardsville, 111., with

n. G. Berning handled a fine lot of
American Beauties last week. He says
roses have been scarce of late, but he
looks for a big crop from now on.
The trustees of the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club will meet this week to ar-
range for a miscellaneous flower show,
to be staged at one of the wholesale
houses March 9.
Werner Bros., of Clayton, have cut
some surprisingly fine roses, valley and
carnations. The Sunburst roses are of
oxceptionally fine quality. A big rose
crop is predicted from this place.
There will be a large party from here
at the eleventh annual convention of
the Illinois State Florists' Association,
at Moline, 111., March 7 and 8. A press-
ing invitation was extended by Secre-
tary .7. F. Ammann to all members of
the club.
John Himmer informs me that he and
his brother, Nick, have moved from
Clayton to Webster Groves, where they
have cleared a 40-acre tract, on
which they will build a house or two
this summer.
Fred Foster, who is at present on
Sixth street, reports that he will move
to new quarters on Olive street, but
the exact location is not announced.
The many railroad officials moving from
Olive street to Broadway make avail-
able twelve fine store rooms.

The Market.
Business was unusually good last
week, and the florists are satisfied with
the results of the St. Valentine's day
business. The general opinion is that
the volume of business this year far
surpassed that of St. Valentine's day
last year. There was an ample supply
of stock to meet the demand, with the
possible exception of short-stemmed
roses, which were none too plentiful,
Violets, sweet peas and roses took the
lead for corsages. Spring flowers in all
varieties were in demand, especially
for filling heart-shaped baskets. Vio-
lets sold at $2 per hundred. Valley sold
well at $1 per dozen. Roses brought
frwn $1 to $5 per dozen. Carnations
went well at 75 cents and $1 per doz-
en. Most of the bulbous stock brought
$1 per dozen, while snapdragons re-
tailed at $1.50 per dozen. The medium-
sized plants sold well. The florists'
windows were full of suggestions for
table decorations for Valentine's day
parties.
The quality of stock at this writing
is excellent. The sunshine has helped
the roses and carnations to a marked
degree; sweet peas have become more
numerous. There are many wedding
orders booked for this week and busi-
ness continues to be brisk.

The principal difficulty California
growers will have in ])rodHcing all the
flower seeds this country needs lies in
holding assistants long enough to bring
expert labor to bear on the development
of recognized and dependable high qual-

says, "It would seem there is still great
need for our blockade to be made more

It is stated that in the vicinity of
Santa Cruz, Cal., there have been ])lant-

some half dozen growers and jobbers.

QREER'S Extra Selected SWEET PEAS
We aim to confine our list of Sweet Peas to the very best varieties and only those
which can be used by florists for cutting. We have added a number of the choicest
new varieties of the Spencer type to our list this season.
Orchid-flowered or Spencer Sweet Peas
This type is distin^ished from the grandiflora sorts by the extraordinary size of
their flowers and by the standard being crinkled and wavy. They usually bear four
blossoms on a stem, and^-reas easy to grow as the commonest
sorts. A fair crop the past season enables us to offer them at
prices- much lower than ever before.

E The most wonderful Lettuce produced in the whole world during the past one hundred years. Excels all others on
5 the market as a shipper, as a keeper, in quality, in sweetness, in flavor, in color, in profits, in reliability,
E in hardiness. Produces the best early heads, large heads, sure heads, solid heads, compact
E heads, tender heads, globular heads, firm heads, uniform heads.
LONG LOST lETTTTCE.
The Jewel Recovered.
On June 8, 1915, Mr. Carl Hoffaoker,
of Union Co., N. J., writes: "Although
weather conditions were not exactly fa-
vorable, your 'Long Lost' lettuce seed
produced moBt solid, tender, white heads,
proving it a 'Jewel recovered,' and giving
more satisfaction than any other variety
grown."
On July 10, 1915, Mr, A, E. Steffa, of
Tanui Co., Iowa, writes: "In a trial of
27 varieties of Lettuce, your 'Long Lost'
Lettuce stood at the head for solidity of
head and long-standing, also was the
most uniform,"
On Aug. .3, 1915, Ifr, John J. Siokleg,
of Monmouth Co., N. J., writes: "Your
Long Lost* Lettuce Is the best I ever
saw. Got Big Boston beat a mile. Re-
fused to take one dollar a head for it.
I grow fancy Lettuce."
On June 7, 1915, Mr. Henry Tubbs, of
New Haven Co., Conn,, writes: "Your
•Long Lost' lettuce is all O. K., and
next Spring I shall get all my seeds from
you."
On June 21, 1915, XeMTt. Oibney Bros.,
of Marion Co., Mo., write: "We set out
a fine lot of transplanted 'Long Lost'
I/ettuce plants. They grew fine and
made a fine lot of heads, very large and
creamy. We think it a fine Lettuce and
will try It again this Fall."
On June 19, 1915. Mr. Wm. B. HIU, of
Clermont Co., Ohio, writes: "I gave your
•Long Lost' Lettuce seed an outdoor test
and must say it is fine. Can't be beat.
But it has been so awfully wet here.
Finest flavored, better than I ever ate.
All who have eaten it pronounced it fine.
Will give it a better trial next year.
Will get it out earlier."
On Oct. 8, 1915, Mr, George E. Bradley,
of Aroostook Co., Maine, writes: "The
'Long Ix)8t' Lettuce seed I bought of you
last Spring has done the best I ever had
any Lettuce do, both in greenhouse and
garden."
LONG LOST LETTUCE.
The Jewel Recovered.
As a splendid shipper, "Long Lost"
Lettuce far sui-passes every other Let-
tuce, including the Big Boston.
As we started with less than an ounce
of seed, you can quickly realize the
amount of seed We have produced this
year is very limited. We therefore urge
you to send us your orders immediately
if you want to grow the "Long Lost"
Lettuce this season.
The famous Tomato grower, John Baer,
says "Long Lost" Lettuce is the very
. best Lettuce the market gardeners ever
knew. There has never been any Let-
tuce equal to it, for it Is something ex
tra good.
On June 21, 1915, Mr, I. R. Schnebly
of Grundy Co,, Iowa, writes: "llie 'Long
Lost' Lettuce seed grew fine. It is very
handsome in appearance, excellent flavor
and the most valuable variety I have
ever grown."
On June 26, 1915, Mr, Ben H. Kegly.
of Cecil Co., Md., writes: "I received
an order of 'Long Lost' Lettuce seed
from you early In the Spring and it has
proven to be the most wonderful Lettuce
I have ever grown."
On July 24, 1915, Mr. G. Ralph Laigh-
ton, of Rockingham Co., N, H,, writes:
"I take pleasure in saying that your
'Long Lost' I/Cttuce has done splendidly
with me this season. The heads were
very large, solid and crisp, and the flavor
excellent. I have another crop of 'Long
Loaf Lettuce that will be maturing soon
and have also sown seed for a late crop.
I shall continue cultivation of the 'Lone
Lost.' "
On June 7, 1915, Mr. S. W, Carman,
of Lancaster Co,, Pa,, writes: "In re-
gard to your 'Long Lost' Lettuce, there
is none better or as good. It beats anv
I ever bad in quantity and nice, tendr'r
heads. Flavor can't be beat."
On June 19, 1915, Messrs. Vogt Bros.,
of Baltimore Co., Md., wrote: "The
'Lone Lost' Lettuce is the very best
heading Lettuce we have ever raised, and
will stand the heat, as heads will burst
open before going to seed. We do not
want anything any better."
On June 15, 1915, Mr. Wm. Homer,
of Baltimore Co., Md.. writer: '-TIic
'rx)ng Lost' I>'ttuoe which I purcliase<i
from you early this Spring is all that
it is claimed by your firm. I like it so
well I purchased some more. I certainly
recommend It to market gardeners."
On June 19, 1915, Mr. Crii Gebh, of
Baltimore Co., Md., writes: "The 'Long
Lost' Lettuce turned out for me Just as
it is advertised. 1 want no bettor."
On Aug. 9, 1915, Mr, Henry Seymour,
of Vanderburg Co., Ind., writes: "I have
words of praise for your 'Long Lost' I>et-
tuoe. First, it stands drought better
than any other kind. Second, it matures
quicker and makes larger heads In loss
time than any lettuce I know of. Third,
it Is tender, crisp and of a very flue
flavor."
On June 14, 1915, Mr. John Trahandt,
Wholesale Market Gardener, of Balti-
more Co., Md., writes: "Bolgiano's
'Long Lost' Lettuce is without doubt the
best Lettuce I have ever raised."

JOHN BA£B— HIMSELF
Gives a Friendly but Earnest Notice
to His Friends and Fellow
Market Gardeners.
Baltimore Co., Md., Jan. 1, 1916.
I hereby inform my Many Friends,
the Market Gardeners, Canners, and
the Public in General, I have plaoed
my entire 1916 supply of "John
Baer" Tomato Seed, which I person-
ally grew and selected, with j. Bol-
giano & Son, of Baltimore, Md. Any
seed offered by any other source is
not my production, and I cannot feel
morally responsible for the results
it may produce.
I have given this Tomato my great-
est care and attention for many years
and take pride in seeing that my
Fellow Marset Gardeners are getting
only seed that truly represents the
result of my life work.

Dear Sirs — Last winter I sent to your
store and bought some "John Baer" To-
mato seed. On Thursday, the 17th of
June, I picked a number of fine, ripe
Tomatoes and have picked some every
day to date. I planted them in the open
field April the 21st. If we bad not bad so
much cold and cloudy weather in May I
think I could have picked by the first of
June. I planted tbem in the same field
with "Barlianas" and they are far ahead.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) PENNEL COOPER.
JOHN BAER TOMATO.
The Earliest and Best Tomato on Earth.
From Market Growers' Journal of
Louisville, Kentucky, Sept. 1, 1915.
" 'John Baer' has withstood the rigors
of this season the best of all the varie-
ties we have, which include also Bonny
Best, Earlibell and June Pink. The ex-
cessive rains of the last four weeks have
caused our entire plantation to become
afTected with the oedema. The 'John
Baer, howevtr, does not seem to suffer
rrom It, as a very much smaller propor-
tion of its foliage dies than with the
other varieties. 'John Baer' is a rery
good variety for heavy soils."— Maple-

plants I picked on an average of a half
bushel every other day, when on my other

WANT TAX ON MAIL TRADE.
A large number of petitions are being
received at Washington, by the vari-.
ous members of Congress, from indi-
viduals and associations all over the
f'ountry, urging the enactment of a law
placing a tax upon the business done
by mail ordfer houses. A number of
bills having this in view have been
introduced into the House of Kepre-
sentatives, but it is doubtful if any-
thing will be done towards such legis-
lation at this session. A tax of this
kind would only be assessed against
firms doing an interstate business. A
large number, of seedsmen, nurserymen
and florists would coine under; the law.
The proceeds from the proposed tax
measure are to be divided among the
various states in proportion to the
amount of the businessdone therein by
mail, such moneys to be applied to the
maintenance of good roads.
C. L. L.
AN INTERNATIONAL YARN.
This is the story of a perspicacious
Hollander, some hard-headed Hamburg-
ers, a canny Scot, certain gentlemen who
said they were from Missouri, and the
British Foreign Office. The general out-
line is facts, but no certificate of verity
goes with the details, some of the trim-
mings possibly being the result of repe-
tition.
To begin at the beginning, as the
story tellers say, there lives amid bright
bulb fields in Holland a busy little man
who never, misses a-^hance to turn an
honest dollar. Chance, mind you; he's
ready to take a chance. And the Euro-
pean war. affords long chances aplenty.
Last autumn, so the story goes, this
astute Hdllander slipped up taJIamburg-
anil said' he could use a few million
A-alley pips if the price were right.
Well, it was; $7 is the figure mentioned.
But the Hollander must have six
months' credit.
Now, the British government hasn't
objected to the movement of the small
quantities of pips of Danish or Dutch
origin, but it. has a strong dislike to
seeing anything German sailing the
seas. Also, a German can see as far
as anybody through the hole in a grind-
stone and the Hamburgers were wise to
the Hollander's game; moreover, they
knew what he was up against. So they
said, "We'll make it an object to you
to pay cash." Report has it the deal
was closed by the gentleman who culti-
vates the bright bulb fields laying down
$25,000 obtained from his home bank
and taking over behind the dikes the
nice little lot of five million first-class
pips.
So far, so good.
The British government has issued
permits for the unmolested movement
of German goods owned by neutrals
prior to a certain date. Our Holland
friend held one of these permits. It
said he might ship valley pips, a limited
number, 300,000 as the story goes. So
he shipped, and he shipped, and he
shipped. It is believed two millions of
the fiTe were afloat before the British
called a halt.
-And there is where the canny Scot

Sow Some Sutton's Seed Specials
You know how it is these days; your custo-
mers are alvN-ays asking for something new.
If you haven't that something new and
novel, your competitor more than .likely has. He
sells what you ought to have sold. It's an old,
old saying, as true as 'tis old, that "the mart who
looks ahead is the man who gets ahead."
One of the largest "looks ahead" right now
is our catalogue. In it you can find not simply
a few varieties, over-displayed to magnify their
importance, as in some catalogues, but a surpris-
ing quantity of strictly high-class things.
All those bronze, silver end gold medal winners,
shown at the Sjtn. Francisco Fair, are listed.
They have already advertised themselves so
broadly that you can't afford to pass them by. At
least you will want some of those glorious giant-
flowered Antirrhinums that won the gold medal.
Send ;>5c for our UK)- page catalogue. The money
will be refunded on your first order amounting to $5.00.

a wonderful tomato for garden culture.
Trade packet seed, $1.00 postpaid.
Transplanted plants, ready now, $1.00 per
doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000, pre-
paid.

comes in. He deals in valley, among
other more important things. But he
felt that this is a bad year for the
international trade in Hamburg pips
unless the shipper can show a perfectly
straight record for the British. Per-
haps it was patriotism, perhaps only
prudence, the disinclination to take the
chance that looked good to the Hol-
lander, but the Scot is said to be doing
nothing in valley this season.
Still, with full knowledge of all that
goes on among the valley dealers at
Hamburg, one scarcely could expect he
would sit still and see the Dutchman
slip his customers the pips no cautious
man would handle. Anyway, there isn 't
any evidence the Germans put the Brit-
ons wise, unless they did it through the
Scot.
Well, the Holland speculator still has
the balance of his pips and a strong sus-
picion a British agent watches his every
little movement with its meaning all its
own.
But to go back to the pips that quiet-
ly floated past the British blockade.
That's where the men from Missouri
come in!
A carload of the pips finally landed
in Chicago. The consignee wanted
those pips as badly as anyone could.
Only he didn't want them to flower bo
soon! So he turned them down. Event-
ually the broker found a grower who
was willing to save what he could out
of the lot. The shipments that went to
the Pacific coast were even harder to
handle and the erpenses were heavier.
But nobody has heard a whimper out
of the Hollander. He took a chance
and he's game.

DEPENDENT VALUES
Almost all values are de-
pendent upon the mass or-
ganization of civilized life.
The price of a diamond is
not measured by the sweat
of the miner nor the skill of
the cutter, but by the com-
munity desire for it. The
price of lilies is not regulated
by the cost of production^
but by the demand for them.
Popular demand can be cre-
ated for anything good. In
the sale of flowers it is im-
portant. Flowers are a semi-
luxury. The demand for
them is regulated by custom
or habit. Habit is a natural
or acquired disposition to act
in a certain way. The dis-
position to buy flowers is
due to a natural or culti-
vated taste for beautiful
things. Therefore to sup-
port and increase the habit of
flower-buying, you must ad-
vertise flowers, and supply
your customers with the best
there is, that they may be
pleased and buy continually.
The pure white lily is a beau-
tiful example of floral art if
properly produced. It is ap-
propriate for many occasions
and has a refinement about
it that is lacking in so many
common flowers. Lilies will
always please if they are oi
good quality. To be sure of
good lilies get Horsehoe
Brand Giganteum bulbs —
they will give you results
that will create the demand
your business requires. Send
for prices.

logue, handsomely illustrated and making its
appeal in an artistic and effectiTe manner. At
the beginnini; are several pages of Instructions
about transplanting, siiraying, etc., with formu-
las for the making of insecticides and fungicides.
Blue Hill Nurseries, South Braintree, Mass. —
"Specimen Evergreens, Trees, Shrubs, Roses,
Vines and Herbaceous Perennials," a 32-page
catalogue, in narrow, pocket form, without
Illustrations.
A. H. & N. M. Lake, Marshfleld. Wis.— "Art
in Landscape Gardening," a 16-page booklet on
the beautifying of private and public grounds.
W. W. Wilmore, Jr., Wheatridge, Colo.— Two
price lists, one of them a 16-page general cata-
logue, Illustrated, the other an 8-page wholesale
list. Though gladioli are the specialty and are
80 treated in the catalogues, there are also
ofTerings of cannaa, dahlias, phloxes, Irises and
miscellaneous perennials.
Onnn Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb. — Second annual
catalogue of seeds, vegetable plants, roses,
bulbs, flowering and foliage plants, shrubs,
poultry supplies, garden implements, etc.;
thirty-two pages, illustrated.
Peter Henderson & Co., New York. N. Y. —
"Henderson's Farmers' Manual," containing
what may safely be called a complete list of
field seeds, such as grains, forage crops, root
crops, potatoes, cotton, tobacco, etc. ; also farm
implements, fertilizers and other supplies;
forty-eight pages, illustrated. Various grass
mixtures are offered, for the lawn, the open field
and the woodland.
Bobbinlt & Atkini, Rutherford. N. J. — Another
excellent sample of catalogue making, such as
this company Is in the habit of producing; it
contains 160 pages, and the paper, typography
and illustrations are all of the best quality.
Besides a comprehensive line of hard-wooded
nursery stock, including nut-bearing trees, the
book offers lawn grass seed, perennials, decora-
tive and flowering plants, pot-grown forcing
plants, plant tubs, etc. The rose list occupies
eighteen pages.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
The Market.
Business Washington's birthday was
satisfactory. Ked flowers of all kinds
were the best sellers and red carnations
brought up to $6, the other colors going
at $4 per hundred. There was a marked
shortage of the best grades of Amer-
ican Beauty roses, but the ordinary
grades are coming in more plentifully.
The latter are bringing $6 per dozen.
Forget-me-nots were in little demand
and cattleyas sold well at $5 and $6
per dozen. Narcissi are somewhat
scarce and there are not nearly as
'many jonquils on the market as there
have been. Freesia is plentiful and
hangs fire. Large quantities of extra
fine sweet peas are coming in and these
meet with a good sale. Cornflower was
in much better demand and cleaned up
quickly. Valley met with a fair sale.
Lilies, both Easter and rubruni, are only
in light demand, the former bringing
$1.50 and the latter about $1 per dozen
in the long-stemmed grades and about
half that prire for the short stock.
Various Notes.
The Washington Chamber of Com-
merce is making extensive plans for an
active 1916. All the committees have
not yet been formed, but E. S. Schmid
has been appointed to the retail trade
committee; F. W. Bolgiano to the school
committee; William F. Gude to the
membership committee; George H.
Cooke and William H. Ernest to the
manufacturers' committee. C. L. L.

The Florists' Review

K(^ifiJl^inJ(^in.(*iH.f^%.(^iin.^^>^.f^^-i^'\^^
i Pacific Coast Department^
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
A few fine days have worked a won-
derful change in conditions. Less than
a week ago everyone was regretting
the shortage of flowers. This week the
wholesale houses are full of choice
stock of all kinds. Eoses have im-
proved greatly in quality and increased
in quantity. Violets have not had
enough hot weather to suffer, while
bulbous stock apparently is coming in
by the carload. All the little spring
flowers are arriving rapidly, and carna-
tions are again at their best. A couple
of dull days materialized in the middle
of the week, outside of which the trade
lias been remarkably good. Funeral
work keeps up well and there is a good
deal of entertaining going on, which
helps to clean up stock. The windows
of the retailers are attractive with daf-
fodils and shrub branches. Acacia
Baileyana is popular for this purpose,
as well as many of the flowering
peaches and almonds.
Various Notes.
The beautiful pink carnation, Mrs.
Welch, which I frequently noted last
season, is again in fine condition with
the growers, Elgert & Martin. The
color is of the best, and after a week in
the store or house it still remains stiff
and attractive. It is just about the
perfection of an outdoor or lath house
carnation. This firm has acquired a
lease on two acres of land in Covina.
and intends to cover at least an acre
with lath and use the rest for growing
carnations. Until now there has been
no retailer in Covina, and Elgert &
Martin intend to open along this line.
They have excellent stock, all of which
has heretofore been wholesaled in this
city.
Frank AVilhelm left February 15 for
Salt Lake City, Chicago and other
points. Mr. Wilhelm has sold most of
his stock and leased his property, and
intends to stay some time in the middle
west before returning to California.
Since going out of business here, he has
worked as foreman for H. W. Turner
at Montebello. He has made many
friends during the five years he has
resided in the Angel City.
Arthur Gleave, of Gleave's Flower
Shop, Santa Barbara, has been in the
city looking over stock. He is more than
satisfied with the business done at the
store since the opening, about Christ-
mas time.
The L. A. Floral Co. is handling the
entire cut of the pink carnation, Mrs.
"Welch, grown by Elgert & Martin, and
reports favorably on its wonderful last-
ing and shipping qualities. F. Sperry
says that since the railroads have re-
sumed operation they have had a won-
derful trade in out-of-town shipments.
G. M. Bridgeford, of Eagle Rock, is
bringing in exceptionally good forget-
me-nots.
G. W. Smith reports business good at
the store at Seventh and Figueroa
streets. The nursery end also is boom-
ing and Mr. Smith says he never knew
bulbous stock to move so well.
M. L. Germain, president of the Ger-
main Seed & Plant Co., reports an in-
crease of approximately one-third over
the business of this time last year.
This applies to all departments. In the
nursery department a brisk demand is
noted for small 2-inch stock of all
kinds.
F. McCabe, of the A. L. Randall Co.,
Chicago, called on the trade last week.
The California Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co. is handling large quantities
of daffodils, about 4,000 per day of
northern stock, as well as large quan-
tities of locally grown flowerg.
O. C. Saakes is making several im-
provements in his store and reports
business as being good.
At the Wolfskins' & Morris Golden-,
son store John Gordon, last week, had a
striking window. The center was of
violets, flanked with daffodils and the
feathery, beautiful flowers and foliage
of Acacia Baileyana.
George W^atson is shipping magnifi-
cent carnations from the new range at
Covina junction.
At the present writing nurserymen
are working double time to keep up
with orders, balling and planting, all of
which has been hindered by rain. The
present hot weather is not likely to
last, but if it does, the planting season
will be greatly curtailed. The seed
business also is brisk.

SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
Retail business is active, some of the
lea<Ung stores reporting the heaviest
Valentino's day business in their recol-
lection, while funeral and decorative
work keeps up well. Conditions could
hardly have^been more favorable for
Valentine's day. The weather since
February 12 has been Avarm and bright.
and the flood of spring bulbous stock —
daffodils, narcissi, freesias, etc. — found
an enormous demand. Of course prices
have been low and growers' profits
are small. Daffodils are peddled all
over town and there is a line of small
boys selling them to autoists all the
way from Oakland to Hayward. It
is the same with violets, which are in
full crop and fine. The cut of carna-
tions has increased greatly and prices
are easy. Roses hold up fairly well,
as only a few growers are bringing any
in, but the stock appearing is fine, and
with a strong shipping demand good
prices rule. There is a good shipping
business in violets, and a heavy demand
for asparagus, of which there is hardly
enough for local needs. Adiantum and
other greens sell well. Anemones are
in limited supply and few tulips are be-
ing cut. The tulips so far have not
been so good as those of last year, and
the trade is beginning to think the sea-
son's stock as a whole is inferior. The
hyacinths, however, are good, and a
few nice lots of iris have been sold.
The supply of valley is scant and ir-
regular. Easter lilies are improving
steadily. Gardenias are appearing again
and orchids continue plentiful, though
the Valentine's day offering cleaned up
well. Stocks, forget-me-not, mignonette,
etc., are coming in better. Fruit blos-
soms are plentiful, almond especially
making a fine appearance, and acacia
continues popular. Rhododendrons are
beginning to come forward and azaleas
still hold their place. Cinerarias make
an unusually fine showing and primulas
occupy a prominent position. The
planting season for nursery stock, long
delayed by rain, now is in full swing,
and as the time favorable for such
work will be rather -short, the stock is
being rushed out in great quantities.
The spring-like weather has brought
quite a rush in the local seed business.

Various Notes.
The San Kafael growers ami florists
are making good progress with prelim-
inary arrangements for their spring
flower show, holding frequent meetings
to transact the necessary business, and
a number of growers on that side of the
bay are already working on material
for exhibition.
According to some of the San Eafael
growers, last month's frost in that dis-
trict killed many cinerarias, pelargo-
niums and other plants.
Domoto Bros, now are bringing in
quite a lot of valley and say they will
have some to offer for a long time to
<jome.
Many of the smaller growers have
for years been in the habit of bringing
their stock for sale to Bush street or
St. Ann street, in front of some of the
•wholesale flower establishments, mak-
ing quite a crowd in that vicinity at 7
a. m. Being so long unmolested, they
began to feel that they had a vested

the growers have been holding forth in
a part of the basement of the Califor-

Joseph 's new window scheme is the
talk of the town. He has placed an
aviary in the side window, consisting
of several doves, canaries, and bril-
liantly colored birds, with oak limbs,
a floor of sand and moss, and goldfish
as accessories. It is separated from
the store and the front window by a
pretty green lattice, and the whole is

week in his new store at 20 Geary

display on a rather unpretentious scale,
and has the interior neatly fitted up in
green tones, with furnishings to match.
He reports a satisfactory start.
Schwerin^ ^08. last week brought in
the first good Pink Pearl rhododendrons
of the season. The stock looks nice
and has been well received. They also
have been bringing in forced hyacinths
and tulips.
E. James has been putting on the
market a large lot of cinerarias during
the last few weeks. Much of the stock
was exceptionally good and made a fine
showing at the stores, particularly be-
fore the spring stock came in so abun-
dantly.
The MacRorie-McLaren Co. is laying
out a large planting for the Fitzhugh
place at Woodside.
Mrs. K. E. Darbee has been shipping
many violets and says stock is quite
plentiful now, though it was hard to
get for a time. She has been trying
some shipments of pussy willow, which
has been plentiful. She finds tnat the
gardens and flower shows at the expo-
sition have brought a great deal of at-
tention to California flowers.
Miss Rothschild, of the Bellevue Flo-
rists, says business is picking up. She
believes that San Francisco needs a
larger population to support the trade
as it has been conducted for the last
few years; but from present indications
she believes the needed growth will
now come fast.
Podesta & Baldocchi are specializing
in orchids this season and have been
doing some advertising along this line.
They have maintained excellent orchid
displays, using many of the less plenti-
ful varieties as well as the ever-present
cattleyas.
Frank Pelicano now is bringing in a
nice cut of his new violet, Quaker Lady,
though he has not yet enough of them
to sell other than at retail.
Jack Olson, of the New Roserie, has
been busy this month executing many
dinner decorations, in addition to a
steady run of funeral work. He finds
the potted tulips and hyacinths ex-
tremely popular during the fortnight
or 80 that they have been in.
W. Bingham has bought out the Jor-
dan Park Flower Shop, at 323 Clement
street, which has been conducted for
some time by F. E. Stratton.
Miss Jennie Miller, formerly of Mo-

weather that prevailed all the week.
Valentine's day was observed by many
with gifts of cut flowers and potted

day. Funeral work was considerably
above normal and there was unusual
activity in decorations. Several deal-

ers, who are familiar with the wants of
customers in eastern markets, com-
plain that several of the festal days,
including Valentine's day, are poorly
observed here, in regard to flowers,
but dealers who have had many years*
experience in this market declare that
the custom of patronizing the florist
on these days is becoming more general
each year. So the situation is hopeful.
There is plenty of cut stock to fill
* all wants, perhaps excepting the roses.
Carnations are abundant and of fair,
though not prime, quality. Bulbous
stock is prime. Darwin tulips have
appeared. The prices of daffodils have
stiffened after a tendency to slump.
Fine orchids are shown, Cattleya Tri-
ansB and Lrelia Schrcederi being the
favorites. There still are offerings of
good cyclamens, begonias of the Lor-
raine type, primulas, azaleas, genistas,
cinerarias and ericas, which, with the
potted bulbous stock, make quite a
variety. The first open blooms from
outdoor laurustinus and Primula veris
have come in. Sweet peas are few and
of poor quality. The supply of home-
grown violets has increased and the
imported stock shows better quality.
Nurserymen are busy shipping orders
that accumulated during, the bad
weather.
Club Meeting.
About forty members attended the
meeting of the Portland Floral Society
held February 15. F. A. Van Kirk,
secretary of the growers' committee,
reported that copies of the letter relat-
ing to credits and authorized by the so-
ciety had been mailed to all dealers
whose addresses were available. He ex-
hibited a book in which the dealers'
names were alphabetically arranged,
with spaces for noting reports, and he
urged all the growers to report delin-
quencies in payment. This record will
be open to inspection by the growers.

The president called attention to the
need of public education as to what to
buy and what to avoid buying in bed-
ding stock, porch and lawn decorations,
ornamentals, etc., and how best to care
for them. On motion a committee of
three was authorized to prepare articles
for the spring garden sections of the
Sunday papers appearing early in
March. S. W. Walker, A. J. Clarke and
J. G. Bacher compose the committee.
F. A. Van Kirk, secretary of the
committee on exhibitions^ reported that
the spaces in the floral center planned
for the rose festival, June 7, 8 and 9,
had been oversubscribed and final con-
tracts prepared for signing. The final
arrangement and location of the dis-
plays will be governed by the commit-
tee, in order to prevent clashes in color
or any other inharmonious feature. The
entertainment program consisted of a
general discussion of insecticides, which
was opened by ,T. F. W. De .Jong and A.
H. Harrison, representing the Tobacco
Products Co., of Louisville, Ky. In
relative cost and value, fumigating
was compared with spraying, and many
good ideas were offered by the visitors
and by the members as to the best
methods to use to control certain pests.

MUNICIPAL CONTRACTS.
Because the Oklahoma statutes pro-
vide that shade trees planted in streets
of towns and cities shall be paid for
by special assessments against the abut-
ting property, the Supreme court de-
cided the other day that a nursery could
not enforce a contract made with a
town where the contract did not con-
template compliance with those stat-
utes (15.3 Pacific Reporter 628).
The nurseryman sued for $510, the
price of 3,000 locust trees planted
along the streets of the town, under a
contract whereby the town agreed to
pay that amount in this manner: "All
money collected from the property own-
ers for the trees up to July 1, 1912, at
which time there shall be a town war-
rant issued for the balance remaining
unpaid." The trial of the case resulted
in a judgment favorable to the nursery-
man, but on the town's appeal to the
Oklahoma Supreme court the judgment
was reversed, the higher court saying:

peril. Section 574, Eev. Laws 1910,
provides: 'The council may enact ordi-
nances for the purpose of planting,
maintaining and protecting shade trees
in the streets and avenues, whenever
the same is petitioned for in the man-
ner provided for in this chapter, for
petitioning for sidewalks, and for the
Eurpose of paying for the same shall
ave power to make assessments and
collect the tax in the same manner as
is provided by this chapter for assess-
ing and collecting taxes for sidewalks. '
"It thus clearly appears that the ex-
pense of planting shade trees in the
streets and avenues must be paid by
the owners of the property in the same
manner that the expenses of sidewalks
are provided for — payment by the in-
dividual owner and not by the munici-
pality.
"The petition does not aver that the
necessary petition to authorize the
council to enact ordinances for the pur-
pose was filed or that ordinances were
enaxjted under this section of the statute
for the purpose of planting the trees
in question. If the required petition
had been filed, and the necessary ordi-
nances passed, the council was without
legal authority to bind the municipality
to pay for any part of said trees, as is
provided in the contract sued upon.
The contract is void and does not im-
pose any liability on the municipality. ' '

C. L. Washburn was called up on long-
distance phone at his home in Hinsdale
and informed that a certain retailer
must have 2,000 roses at once, to be
used in funeral work to be delivered by
9 o'clock the next morning, Mr. Wash-
burn called up one of his store force,
Joseph Einwick, who rolled out of bed
and went down to the store of Bassett
& Washburn to get out the order. So
far everything was fine, but next morn-
ing when Ernest Anderson opened the
place he found that vases had been
moved and that stock was missing. He
at once got the janitor and together
they called a policeman. The three
were about to start a burglar hunt
when Joe showed up with explanations.
A new automobile will be added to
the delivery service of Joseph Ziska &

CARNATION BREEDERS
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
the thoughts of Philip Schupp, man-
ager of the J. A. Budlong wholesale
house, again turn to the quest of stone
artifacts in the forgotten corners of
Illinois and Indira.
The construction of five houses by
the Geo. Wittbold Co., at Edgebrook,
111., is well under way. Three of them
measure 10x300 feet and will take the
place of those torn down on Bucking-
ham place to make way for the first sec-
ti<m <? the apartment building to be
built there by Louis Wittbold and his
associates. The other two, 10x280 feet,
are to be used for growing cyclamen
exclusively. The work of rebuilding
thie houses facing Aldine avenue, at the
rear of the Buckingham place estab-
lishment, is being done by a crew of
men under Mike Winandy.
To diversify his manner of spend-
ing week ends, Guy W. French, of
rrench & Salm, accompanied a friend
in a Eeo car from Union Grove, Wis.,
to Morton Grove, 111., in the snow storm
of February 18. He makes a cheerful
report of their crop of Russell roses.
Thora Clemenson has been removed
from the South Shore hospital to her
home, 7801 South Shore avenue. Here
she will be under the immediate care
of her uncle. Dr. Peter Clemenson.
A satisfactory run of wedding deco-
rations and funeral work was done by
George Kaspar, 4005 West Twenty-
sixth street, last week.
Heavy funeral work last week is re-
ported by the Armitage Floral Shop,
2065 Milwaukee avenue.
Visitors.
One of last week's visitors was
James W. Davis, of Bettendorf^ la.,
and Terre Haute, Ind. Mr. Davis de-
votes his principal attention to vege-
tables, but he always has an eye on the
possibilities in cut flowers and pot
plants. While here he arranged with
the (Lord & Burnham Co. for the im-
mediate erection of two more of the
big houses, 76x600, at the Terre Haute
range, which will make five there, and
for one more house, also 76x600, at the
range at Bettendorf. At Bettendorf
the Lord & Burnham Co. will erect an-
other iron frame house 41%x300 feet,
for the Davis Floral Co., a company
separate from the other two.

'INNER of tlie Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also
WINNER of the SAME MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS. 1916; First prize
at the Illinois State Fair, at Springfield, 111., September 22 and 23. It has never been beaten
at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 31^ inches.
Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, if is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal
in number to the Enchantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average
Carnation. It comes in full flower by the 1st of December and then continues steadily
through the balance of the season.
The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in the market. We have
grown this variety for five years, it being one of our own seedlings, and we now have
30,000 plants benched in our greenhouses at Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut
flowers and 18,000 devoted to rooted cuttings. Rooted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $32.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500
at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively
to rooted cuttings.
Orders for Pacific Coast States will please be sent to our Western Branch,

USINGER'S UTTERANCES.
The Posy Shop, of Fremont, O., had
a good showing of cinerarias and prim-
ulas for St, Valentine's day.
T. J. Enright, of Fostoria, O., is de-
voting practically all his space to car-
nations.
George M. Palmer, of Findlay, O.,
has opened a retail store in the busi-
ness district. He is making a good
display of potted plants and baskets.
Mr. Swan, of the Swan Floral Co.,
of iLima, O., has been suffering from
neuritis in his right arm.
With J. C. Fletcher as guide, a trip
through the greenhouses of Rolf Zet-
litz, of Lima, was most interesting.
There are about 90,000 feet of glass,
devoted principally to roses and carna-
tions. About 15,000 carnation plants
are grown in one section. The Alice
carnation is the favorite and is con-
sidered by Mr. Fletcher to be the best
commercial variety, being light pink in
color and a prolific bloomer, with good,
healthy plants and strong stems. Of
the roses Russell is the favorite. Hoo-
sier Beauty will replace Richmond next
season.
William Gerlach, of Piqua, O., had a
good St. Valentine's day business. Per-
haps the quality of flowers and plants
had much to do with it, for there surely
was some beautiful stock on display.
L. A. Thomas, of Troy, O., has had a
good run of funeral work. The de-
mand for potted plants has been good.
George Frisch, of Dayton, O., has
been suffering from a nervous break-
down during the last six weeks. He is
slowly recovering.
The Heiss Co., of Dayton, had a hand-
some display of potted plants and nov-
elties for St. Valentine's day.
Harriet Van Meter, of Springfield,
O., displayed a choice assortment of
spring plants for Valentine's.
The junior prom at the state univer-
sity, Columbus, O., kept the Block Flo-
ral Co. busy making corsage bouquets.
Carl Block introduced the pendent bou-
quet with great success, making more
than fifty of this one kind.
The Livingston Seed Co., of Colum-
bus, had a unique window display for
Washington's birthday, featuring colo-
nial bouquets of red, white and blue.
Baby primroses, cyclamens, cinera-
rias, begonias and azaleas impress one
most favorably on a visit through the
greenhouses of W, W. Horlacher, of
Dayton. Among the novelties grown
are dwarf German lilacs, French daisies
and genistas. W, T. U.

The Market.
Trade St. Valentine's day was heavy,
according to reports. There was a
large demand • for sweet peas, violets,
valley and the smaller roses for cor-
sages, and other stock, such as roses,
carnations and spring flowers, came in
for a share of the trade. Everyone was
well satisfied with the day's business.
It is a day we can count on for good
returns. Funeral work has been large;
there seems to be no end to it.
Boses have been somewhat scarce,
especially pinks, and the demand has
been heavy. Carnations are in heavy
crop, but they are a little soft. Sweet
peas are fine and find a ready sale, espe-
cially in corsages, which have been in-
creasing rapidly. Violets are holding
their own and their quality is good.
Lilies are scarce and the demand for
them is satisfactory. Bulbous stock is
coming in heavily and finds a ready
sale.
Various Notes.
The Livingston Seed Co. has installed
a new refrigerator, which was in work-
ing order for Valentine's day. There
was a good display for the event.
Graff Bros, report trade as being good
Valentine's day and a great demand
for sweet peas.
The Munk Floral Co. made a good
display in the new windows, which add
greatly to the appearance of the store.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free use of dirt bands for the grow-
ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new READY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not how
cheap, but how good, is our motto.

The Florists' Review
Fbbruaby 24, 1916.
SCRANTON, PA.
The Maxket.
Business has been keeping up re-
markably well. Funeral work this
month is perhaps the largest in the his-
tory of the trade. Stock of all kinds is
plentiful. Sweet peas are in abundance
and are sold at 50 cents per hundred.
According to reports received from all
the florists, the St, Valentine's day
business showed a big increase over
last year's. The stores had special
window displays and February 12 the
daily papers had a page devoted to the
florists advertising flowers as valen-
tines.
Various Notes.
The New York Floral Co. is busy with
funeral work. It had an attractive
window display for St. Valentine 's day.
One of the novelties worthy of special
mention was a heart-shaped basket filled
with Francis Scott Key roses and for-
get-me-nots.
Baldwin reports business as being
good. He is featuring some fine prim-
roses, tulips and hyacinths.
T. B. McClintock is cutting sweet
peas, carnations, valley and lilies, and
reports business good. Mr. McClintock
is looking forward to a big Easter busi-
ness.
Anton Schultheis is showing fine
plants of azaleas, primulas, cyclamens,
tulips and daffodils.
A. L. Besancon & Co. have been un-
usually busy with funeral work and
decorations. They are preparing to
move to their new store in the Life
Insurance building.
G. E. Clark says that the seed busi-
ness is starting in nicely. Miss Loftus
and Miss Clifford are confined to their
homes with the grip. Miss Kennedy has
returned after a three weeks' visit to
Albany and Troy, N. Y. F. J. M.
Hagerstown, Md. — A fire of unknown
origin recently destroyed the boiler
room and damaged four greenhouses at
the range of H. A. Bester & Sons.
Batavia, HI. — Escaping gas from de-
fective mains February 16 entered the

WARNING! DON'T GET CAUGHT.
The fuel situation is such that, while
nothing may happen, the man with
greenhouse property depending on his
alertness should not permit his fuel sup-
ply to be low any longer than it takes
to get the bunkers filled. Act today.
As is well known to all florists, the
miners' contract with the coal operators
expires April 1. The negotiations look-
ing to a renewal of the contract, in
progress last week at Mobile, resulted
in a disagreement and a recess of one
week during which each side can obtain
fresh instructions from its principals.
All Fools' day possibly will not see a
cessation of mining, and then again it
may. The only wise course for a florist
is to have enough coal on the place to
last through the season.
Because many large interests are tak-
ing the course here advised for florists
and storing coal, the demand for cars
is more than the railroads can supply.
Congested traflBc conditions make the
movement slow and it is said some
mines are not getting more than forty
per cent of the cars they requisition.
These causes, make the list quotations a
mere matter of form; one seldom can
buy coal for immediate delivery at the
market price; a premium must be paid.
CAPACITY OF BOHiEE.
My greenhouse is 28x70, six feet high
to the eaves and thirteen feet to the
ridge. It has a 3-foot concrete wall
all around, with three feet of glass
above the concrete. Both ends are
exposed. The house runs east and west
and the boiler is at the southwest cor-
ner. The top of the boiler is on a
level with the return pipes. The house is
piped as follows: One 3-inch flow runs
from the boiler across the west end to
the north side of the house and then
east; this flow is supported on brackets
attached to the purlin posts, about two
feet below the glass, and has a fall of
six inches. At the east end this pipe
is connected to nine 2-inch returns,
passing under the beds. At the south
side of the house there is a 2%-inch
flow, two feet below the glass and sup-
ported on brackets in the same way as
at the north side; this flow is connected
to eight 2-inch returns.
I am using a 7-section, cast-iron Capi-
tol boiler; its grate is 18x36. There
is a 35-foot brick chimney; the flue is
twenty-four inches in diameter at tlie
base and sixteen inches at the top.

'^ Because of their proven sclentlflcally perfect con-
fltructlon, Metropolitan Patented Boilers will beat a
given amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.
The remarkable heating efficiency and quick
flteamlng qualltleB of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.
Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit: —Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip-
ple connections. Large fire box, providing ample
combustion chamber, and permitting a sufflclent
charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter-
vals. Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a
slight task. Liarge flues, making the boiler easy to
clean . Orates that are made for hard usage and long
eervlce. A.nd above all, they are Fuel Saving, not
Fuel Wasting.
We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 60 per cent in coal.

tention when the temperature is below

PIPING THBEE NEW HOUSES.
I am enclosing a rough sketch of my
proposed greenhouses, which I expect
to build this season. The range will
consist of three connected houses, each
25x120, running east and west. The
height to the gutters will be eight, feet.
House No. 1, the south house, will have
a 3-foot concrete waU at the south side,
with five feet of glass above 'the coti-
crete. In this house I shall want a
temperature of 60 degrees. In house
No. 2, the next house to the north, the
required temperature will be 55 de-
grees. House No. 3 will need a tem-
perature of 50 degrees. I shall use
a steam gravity system, with l^^-inch
returns. The outside temperature here
sometimes drops as low as 18 degrees
below zero. How many lines of 1%-
inch pipes will be required in each
house? F. R. G.— Kan.
For the south house, 25x120, with five
feet of glass in the south wall, for a
temperature of 60 degrees when it is
15 to 18 degrees below zero outside,
we would put in one 2%-inch overhead
fiow pipe and twelve 1^-inch returns.
If raised beds are used, we would place
two returns under each of the benches
and the remainder of the returns on
the walls. For house No. 2 one flow
and ten returns should be used, and in
house No. 3 we would put in one flow
and eight returns, for 50 degrees.
PIPING STEAM TO RESIDENCE.
We have one horizontal tubular
boiler, 16x66, with which we are heat-
ing our greenhouses, using steam heat.
We wish to run a line to our residence,
which is about 1,000 feet distant.
Kindly inform us whether this would
be practical. If so, what size of pipe
would be necessary for the steam line
and the return pipe? What would be
the best method of insulating the pipes?
H. H. M.— Mo.
The size of the dwelling and the
amount of radiation required to heat it
should be considered in determining
whether it can be heated to advantage
from a central plant, but we would not
recommend the use of such a system
unless the amount of radiation in the
residence is at least twice as great as
the number of feet from the boiler to
the residence, which can hardly be the
case in this instance.
In case a central heating plant is
used for the dwelling, a main about
two and one-half inches in diameter
should be used as the supply pipe, with
a 1%-inch pipe for the return. A con-
crete tunnel should be used for the flow
and return pipes. All pipes should be.
covered with asbestos pipe covering,
and care should be taken to have them
properly provided with expansion joints.

The Horists' Review
FbbbcIbt 24, 1&16.
BRAMPTON, ONT.
The Market.
The temperature went up to 55 de-
grees February 17, and dropped to 8
degrees below zero the following night,
which was about the most severe
change we have had during this re-
markably mild winter. There was a
slight break in business during the
week, which probably was due to the
shock received by everyone on learning
the intention of the government to levy
taxation on certain business profits, but
confidence in the country's resources
still seems strong and the week-end
trade was just as lively as if nothing
had happened.
St. Valentine's day brought out a
fair number of patrons, and there was
hardly suflBcient stock of any kind to
meet the demand. The violets were
simply magnificent, nothing like them
ever having been gk>wn here before. As
many as 230,000 were picked and found
a ready market. All kinds of stock are
becoming more plentiful, but the short-
age has been felt fiince Christmas,
largely owing to the unfortunate way
.in which the bulbous stock upset every-
body's calculations.
Various Notes.
Walter Thompson is glad to be back
again to care for his excellent stock
after having been laid up with influ-
enza for nearly a month. W. J. Jones
has been suffering from a severe attack
of pneumonia, from which he is slowly
recovering. W. G. P.
EUduurt, Ind. — The owners of the
West View Floral Co., N. A. Harold
and F. S. Jones, have purchased the
business of Hugh Hills, on Prairie
street. This company formerly was the
W. H. Troyer concern.

The Maxket.
Business was good last week. Prices
remain steady, though flowers are more
plentiful. Bulbous stock is about the
only thing that is cheap. Tulips are
coming in with longer stems and are
of better substance.
Various Notes.
Ernest Chamberlain reports business
as being much better at his new stand.
This week he has had sopae attractive
signs placed in the windows.
S. E. Shaw is cutting some fine sweet
peas. His carnations are in better crop
than they have been for several months.
Frank L. Gray has recovered from
his recent attack of the grip.

the Flower Mart, is the proud father

The Market.
The market is strong on carnations
and bulbous stock, while roses remain
scarce. [Lilies, valley, forget-me-nots,
snapdragons, etc., are picked up on
sight.
Various Notes.
A visit to C. Merkel & Son, of Men-
tor, found the men busy with prepara-
tions for Easter. Their rambler roses
never looked better, and with three of
their largest houses full of them they
should have enough to meet all de-
mands. They are erecting another 400-
foot Foley house to hold this stock,
which soon will have to be spaced. The
lilies, French hydrangeas, lilacs, spi-
raeas, etc., are in the best of condition.
The entertainment committee of the*
Florists' Club, which consists of Frank
J. Eitzenthaler, chairman; Walter E.
Cook and Charles J. Graham, conducted
a trip of inspection to the West Tech-
nical high school Thursday, February
24. They have issued a call for all who
wish to join the Florists' Glee Club to
meet Monday evening, February 28, at

POBTLAND NOTES.
[OoDti Ufd f om paff* 77.]
Billings, 1283 East Eighth street, col-
lapsed, and he lost nearly all of his
stock. The oval house in the Pfunder
range on East Forty-ninth street was
destroyed, and John Willius, the les-
see, met with quite a loss. August
Zitzewitz said he did not get much
sleep during the five weeks of storms.
He used all of the fuel on hand and
was saved from loss by an honest fuel
supply man, who delivered wood when
the cost of delivery came to more than
the price of the wood. George Goos
moved his dwelling stoves into his
greenhouses during the worst weather.
Various Notes.
Frank Chervenka, who left a posi-
tion with Clarke Bros., in 1914, to take
an interest in the Holden Floral Co.,
has sold his interest and returned to
the position he left. He is foreman of
the firm's range at Hillsboro.
Martin & Forbes displayed some van-
da orchids, the only specimens of that
variety seen this season. February 18
the awning on the side facing the
south was let down for the first time
in almost four months.
S. Q. Lubliner considers himself
among those specially blessed and is,
consequently, happy, for February 12
Mrs. Lubliner presented him with a fine
8-pound son. Having been born on
Lincoln's birthday, the youngster's
middle name will be Abraham.
Karl Birstel has brought in good
potted violets of the Czar variety.
A. Hanson, of Vancouver, Wash., was
a visitor last week. He reports a pros-
perous year. He has leased his range
near Orchards, Wash., to a party who
is repairing it with a view of purchas-
ing. Mr. Hanson said the ice storm
was severe and did much damage. The
casings of ice were more than two
inches in diameter on all wires and
other objects.
Niklas & Son report a good business
in potted plants February 12 and 14.
The firm had on display some excellent
cinerarias, grown at its range at East
Twenty-first and Belmont streets.
E. R. Chappell says he has had a
satisfactory business since he opened a
store in the Broadway building last
December. He is pleased with the
business that came in St. Valentine's
day.
The Tonseth Floral Co. had a supply
of potted tulips that was sold by Feb-
ruary 14.
R. C. Cook said that, in spite of his
having to retire to his basement on
some of the worst days, his business so
far amounts to more than that of the
same period last year.
Max Smith reports a good business in
bulbous stock.
John Mates was married February 9.
He left his position with the Marsh-
field Floral Co. and now is private
gardener for Philip Buehner, at Mount
Tabor. S. W. W.
Flint, Mich. — A florist's business has
been started at 1327 South Saginaw
street, by Messrs. Clason and Ellis.

Your customers buy potted plants. Often
they wither and die and you are blamed
for the failure. It's simply because plant
food is lacking. Your customers don't
want fertilizers with offensive odors. They
need Odorless Fertilo that does not mar
the frasrance of the flowers. Just the material
for Lawns, Flowers. Shrubs and Small Gardens.
You can sell several cans of Odorless VertllQ
to each customer who buys potted plants and
several bags to those with gardens. Make them
more successful and they will become flower
enthusiasts.
VBRTILrO is nature's pure plant food and com-
bines all the essential elements required by
plant life: Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid, Bone,
Phosphate of Lime and Potash. Makes the
necessary Humus for enriching the soil and is
also an excellent Insecticide.
FKRTIL.O is odorless, will not get hard and
lumpy. Put up in handy containers in 1 and 6-lb.
sizes, and in 10 and 80-lb. bags. Tbe 1-lb. pack-
age will fertilize 10 gallons of earth for potted
plants or SO so- ft. of surface. Retails for 26c.

NURSERY STOCK
^ AS ^ SIDE LINE
Many florists who take orders for outdoor planting, hut restrict them-
selves to the use of soft-wooded stock, might find it profitable to handle
also hardy shrubs and trees. Thus they could lengthen the outdoor sea-
son at both ends and pad it in the middle, meanwhile padding their
pocketbooks.
URSERY stock as a side
line — yes, but what at
first is merely a side line,
an insignificant appendage
to the business, may de-
velop until it rivals the
so-called regular line,
keeping the force of help-
ers steadily busy and mak-
ing every week of the year
yield a revenue. As to whether or not
the side line will so develop, or will
shrivel into nonexistence, that will de-
pend on — more things than this writer
will be able to mention.
Circumstances That Alter Cases.
Each reader must decide for himself,
of course, whether the suggestions here
offered can be of any use to him. The
florist himself is the best judge of his
local opportunities. Those famous little
reconstructors of destinies, the circum-
stances that alter cases, are everywhere
active — not only the external circum-
stances, but also the mental attributes
of the florist himself. Some individual
florist may have unusually little love
or taste for anything in the nature of
landscape work, and may wish to con-
centrate his energies on the affairs for
which he considers himself best fitted.
Or his environment may be such as to
make the creation of a demand for
shrubbery an exceptionally difficult, al-
most hopeless undertaking.
On the other hand, it is well known
that hosts of florists, florists of many
degrees and descriptions and in many
sorts of communities, derive a large
part of their income from the handling
of shrubs and trees. And they are not,
or need not be, in unfair competition
with the regular nurserymen. The
nurserymen generally share in the prof-
its and are glad to cooperate with the
florist-planters.
The nursery business as a side line is
especially helpful, of course, in early
spring and late fall, but it may overlap
so as to cover other parts of the year,
filling many gaps in the oft-mentioned
volume of trade. And if a florist is
thus able to retain a permanent, good-
sized staff of assistants, keeping them
busy throughout the year, he then has
a reserve force of skilled helpers for
such emergencies as the Christmas or
Memorial day rush. Then he can wel-
come and encourage such rushes, with-
out fear of being overwhelmed by
them. The holidays will no longer be
a bugaboo. In all of this he would
display good management, the kind of
management that insures success.
As Done in a Downtown Store.
Alexander McConnell, the New York
florist whose nurseries are partly shown
in the illustrations, is only one of hun-
dreds who could bear testimony to the
fact tliat a nursery department is a prof-
itable adjunct to a florist's business.
Mr. McConnell is typical of a distinct
class of florists, the high-grade down-
town retailers whose business radiates
widely into the suburbs. He takes his
orders at his fashionable Fifth avenue
store, and procures the hard-wooded
stock, or at least a part of it, from
his own nurseries near the metropolis
— the Woodside Nurseries, at New Ro-
chelle.
Catching the Public Eye.
There is no doubt that the Woodside
Nurseries, bordered by beautiful pri-
vate homes, form a good advertisement
of Mr. McConnell 's business, and it
may just as certainly be taken for
granted that Mr. McConnell gives the
nursery department all possible pub-
licity at the store, by means of the vari-
ous devices that resourceful storemen
employ. Each department in a well
organized business is an advertising
agency for all the other departments.
By handling nursery stock, Mr. Mc-
Connell is able to start the outdoor
season in the chilly, unsettled days of
earliest spring, as soon as the condi-
tion of the soil permits, and he can
prolong the season in the autumn until
.Jack Frost proceeds to lock up the
ground for the winter. And it is not
likely that there is a complete cessation
of Mr. McConnell 's nursery work in the
otherwise dull summer months, when

The Florists' Review
March 2, 1916.
many of his patrons are away for vaca-
tion, for the planted grounds need at-
tention in the summer. Moreover, the
evergreens which Mr. McConnell has
in stock can be transplanted at almost
any time, if the operation is properly
performed.
In Suburbs or Small Cities.
Florists of the class represented by
Mr. McConnell, however, are much less
conveniently located for the prosecu-
tion of outdoor planting than are those
florists whose stores are in the suburbs,
or in towns or small cities. Florists so
situated, surrounded by private homes
with grounds in various stages of adorn-
ment or disfigurement or neglect, ought
not to have great difficulty in building
up a business in the planting of hard-
wooded stock. Their field of labor,
their harvest field, is all around them.
If they can obtain contracts to beautify
one or two homes, these homes will
thenceforth be successful solicitors for
more contracts — unless there is some-
thing desperately wrong with the beau-
tifying.
Few of these florists, of course, can
have their own nurseries. In most
cases, in fact, they can get along much
better without their own nurseries,
especially at first, when their venture
as shrubbery planters is still in its
undeveloped stage. They can establish
business connections with the nearest
first-class nurseryman, so as to obtain
the stock as it is needed and at such
reasonable trade prices as the nursery-
man will gladly grant. And many of
them can have at least a small patch
of ground for the effective display of
sample shrubbery, in the planting sea-
son or all the year, in addition to such
stock as they exhibit in the store itself
or about the doorway.
Making Fall Planting Popular.
Since one of the chief purposes in
undertaking the planting of hard-
wooded stock is to lengthen the outdoor
season, the florist should do all in his
power to overcome the popular preju-
dice against fall planting. He can ex-
ert his persuasive ability in that direc-
tion without any twinges of conscience,
however sensitive his conscience may
be, for most deciduous shrubs flourish
as well when planted in the fall as
when planted in the spring. Only
shrubs that are not entirely hardy are
endangered by fall planting. By en-
lightening the public on this point, the
florist will benefit the nurseryman as
well as himself, for the nurseryman will
be decidedly thankful for an increased
proportion of fall business. However,
this idea need not be put into effect
until autumn draws near. It is spring
business that is wanted now.
As to the arrangement of the shrubs
on the grounds, there is only space
enough here to draw attention to one
or two elementary principles, which are
already well known to most florists, but
which cannot be too forcibly or fre-
quently mentioned.
Magical Power of the Planter.
Since the home grounds in towns or
suburbs are generally small, it would
be a great mistake to reduce the ap-
parent size of the grounds by planting
a shrub or a clump of shrubbery in the
middle of the space. It would be an
equally serious blunder to clutter shrubs
promiscuously all over the grounds, thus
producing an impression of crudity and
confusion. The central space should be
left open, and the shrubbery should be
placed along the boundaries, in the
corners of the grounds, and in the tri-
angular, oblong or irregular spaces
around the porch and other parts of the
residence, especially where grass would
not grow well. Here and there a shrub
or two should protrude just a little be-
yond the main body of the shrubbery,
like military sentinels — or, rather, like
"standing invitations," or advance
agents to bid visitors welcome.
Such a system of planting, if skill-
fully carried out, gives the outline of
the grounds a softened, gracefully indefi-
nite, picturesque aspect, with delusive
little openings or miniature imitations of
vistas, thus magnifying the dimensions
of the place instead of belittling them.
An ingenious, tasteful planter is a ver-
itable magician in his power of produc-
ing transformations. • . ,
A Planting Plan for Each Place.
Another important rule is to study
closely the distinctive features and
adaptabilities of each home and use a
different planting plan for each one.
Each home has, or should have, its own
separate individuality and requires sep-
arate treatment. It should be the aim
of the florist-planter to add to the home
such horticultural adornments as fit the
contour of the place an^ look like a
completion of the architect's design.
Ally marked peculiarity of the building
or its surroundings provides a first-rate
opportunity for the planter, either to
accentuate the peculiarity or to veil and
obscure it.
If, as is sometimes the case, a whole
block of residences is built after the
same pattern, looking as if chopped out
of one piece of material by a huge auto-
matic machine, then the florist may
perhaps have the difficult but worth-
while task of doing what the architect
neglected to do, giving each place a
character or individuality of its own.
At first a florist may be slow and
dubious in estimating the possibilities
of a place and laying out a planting
plan, but he will gain quickness, skill
and certainty by continuing in practice,
as a physician attains proficiency in
diagnosing his cases. As a planter
gains in experience, he acquires an in-
creased power of visioning the finished
job, seeing it in his imagination before
he begins planting. In the words of
the popular figure of speech, he "has a
photograph" of the completed job be-
fore he puts a spade in the ground.

SNAPDRAGONS FOB CUTTING.
I would like a little advice on snap-

Silver Pink a good variety? Are his
white and yellow good for that purpose t
When would you advise to sow them so
as to have them blooming in the field
as early as possible? A. L. — Mo.
The Ramsburg snapdragons men-
tioned are all good. The earlier the
seed can be sown now the better for
an early outdoor crop. C. W.

The Florists' Review
March 2, 1916.
many of his patrons are a^vay for vaca-
tion, for the planted grounds need at-
tention in the suninior. Moreover, the
evergreens \vliioh Mr. MoConnell has
in stociv can Ix' transplanted at almost
any time, if the opciation is proiierly
performed.
In Suburbs or Small Cities.
Florists of the class represented l>y
Mr. ]\IeConnell, however, are niucli less
conveniently located for the prosecn
tion of outdoor planting than are those
llorists whose stores are in the suhurhs,
or in towns or small cities. Florists so
situated, surrounded by j)ri\ ate homes
with grounds in various stages of adorn-
ment or disligui'eiiient or neglect, ought
not to have great dilliiulty in building
up a business in the i)lanting of hard-
wooded stoili. Their tield of lalxir,
their har\est lieM, is all around them,
if they can obtain contr.acts to beautify
OJie or two homes, tliese homes will
thenceforth be successful solieitors foi'
more contracts — uidess theit^ is some-
tliing desperat(dy wrong with the be;iu-
tifying.
Few of these llorists, ol' course, can
have their own nurseries. In most
cases, in fact, they can get along much
better withmit their own nuiseries,
especially at first, when tludr vi'uture
as shrubbery j)lanters is still in its
\indevelopetl stage. They can establish
business connections with the nearest
lirst-class nurs(M'vman, so as to obtain
the stO( Iv as it is needed and at such
reasonable trade prices as the nursery-
man will gladly grant. And many ol
them can liave at least a small pat(di
of grouiKl for the effectixe display of
sample shrubbery, in the planting sea
son or all the year, in ailditioii to su(di
stock ;is they exhibit in the store itself
or about the doorwjiy.
Making Fall Planting Popular.
Since one of 1ht> idiief ]iurj>oses in
undertaking tlie jilanting t>( hard
wooded sto(d\ is to lengthen the outdooi-
season, the florist should do ;ill in his
power to overcome the popular preju-
dice against fall planting. He can ex-
ert his persuasive ability in that direc-
tion without any twinges of conscience,
however sensitive his conscience may
be, for most deciduous shrubs flourish
as well when planted in the fall as
when planted in the spring. Only
shrubs that are not entirely hardy are
endangered by fall planting. By en-
lightening the public on this point, the
florist will bi'nefit the nurse'vinan as
w(dl as himself, for the nurseryman will
be decidedly thankful for an incre;ise<l
]iroportion of fall business. However,
this idea need not be ])ut into effect
until autumn draws near. It is spring
business that is wanted now.
As to the arrangement of the shrubs
on the grounds, there is only space
enough liere to draw attention to one
ov two elementary principles, whi(di are
iilready well known to most florists, Vjut
which cannot be too foreildy or fre-
i|uently mentioned.
Magical Power of the Planter.
since the honu' grounds in towns or
suburbs art! generally small, it would
be a gre.'it mistake to reduces the ap-
parent size of the grounds by planting
a shiub or a (dump of shrubbery in the
inid<lle of the space. it would be an
equ.'illy serious blunder to clutter shrubs
promiscuously all over the grounds, thus
produ(dng an impression of ci-udity and
confusion. The central space should be
left 0]>en. .•ind the shrubbery should be
placed along th(> boundaries, in the
corners of' the grounds, and in the tri-
angular, oblong or iiregul.'ir s]>aces
around the jiorch .and other ]>arts of tln^
residence, especially wh(>re grass wouhl
not grow well. Here and there a shrub
or two shouM protrude just a little be-
N'ond the main l)Ody of the shrubbery,
like military sentinels- or, lather, like
■'standing invitations," or adxance
agents to bid \ isitors welcome.
Su(h a system of jdanting, if skill
fully carried out, gives the outline of
the grounds a softened, gracefully indefi
iiite, picturesijUe aspect, with delusixc
little o])enings or miniature imitations of
vistas, thus magnifying the dimensions
of the place instead of belittling them.
An ingenious, tasteful planter is a ver-
itable magician in his power of pro<luc-
ing transfornuitions.
A Planting Plan for Each Place.
Another important rule is to study
tdosely the distinctive features and
adaptabilities of each home aud use a
different planting plan for each one.
Each home has, or should have, its own
separate individuality and re(]uires sep-
arate treatment. It sliould l)e the aim
of the florist-planter to add to the home
such horticultural adornments as fit tht;
contour of the place an(] look like a
completion of the architect's design.
Any niaiked peculiarity of the building
cu' its surroundings provides a first-rat(!
oj)portunity for the planter, either to
accentuate the peculiarity or to veil and
obscure it.
If, as is sonietinu^s the case, a wlude
ldo(dv of residences is built after the
sam(> pattern, looking as if (diopjied out
of one piece of material by a huge auto-
ni.atic matdiine, then the florist may
perhaps have the difficult but worth-
while task of doing what the architect
neglected to do, giving each place a
( haracter or individuality of its own.
At first a florist may be slow and
dubious in estimating the possibilities
of a place and laying out a planting

and ceitainty by continuing in practice,

diagnosing his cases. As a planter
^ains in experience, he acquiies an in-
creased power of \ isioning the finished

he begins [d.anting. In the worrls of

BEST MARGUERITES FOR SPRING.
Will you please let me know what is
the best single and double marguerite
to glow in pots for spring tra(ic?
II. E. Y.— III.
If you refer to the marguerite proper,
there' is no double variety unless Mrs.
Sander can be classed as such. The
flowers of this variety are single in
winter, but are largely semi-double or
double during the hot we.ather. Of
the singles the old wliite form of Chrys-
anthemum frutescens, commonly known
as the Paris daisy, is the most satisfac-
tory one to grow. The larger-flowered
ones arc less satisfactory.
Some of the annual chrysanthemums
are good. Of these IMoruing Star, single
]iriinrose; Evening Stnr, deep yellow;
album, ])ure white, and atrococcincum,
dark scarlet, are good. There arc botli
double and single forms of these.

PERENNIALS FOR CUTTING.
We want to put in from half an acre to
an acre of hardy flowering jilauts so we
can have cuts to sell in season, and we
want the kind of plants we can dig up in
case we have a call for them in the
spring or fall. Please let us know when
to sow the seed, when to put in the
field, how far apart, what kind of seed
to get and how many of each. Will
some of these bloom this year? Please
tell us in what order to plant the seeds
to get the best effect. We want to
include peonies, the yellow lily that is
in bloom at the timethe peony blooms,
irises and daisies among the others.

In the New Store of the Spokane Florist Co,, Spokane, Wash.
The following desirable hardy peren-
nials you can readily grow from seeds:
Del]ihinium hybridum iind Chinense,
many of which, if sown now, will flower
this season, imduding all of the Chi-
nense type; Achillea Ptarmica The
Pearl, of which some will come single,
but a fair ]iercentage double; Gyp-
sopliila paniculata ccunes freely from
see(l; also, buy one or two plants of
tlint splendid variety, flore pleno; Eu-
idioibia corollata. Campanula persicifo-
lia and C. Medium, or Canterbury bells;
the last nnmed is a biennial and needs
covering well in winter; foxgloves,
but do not sow these until June, when
\iiu can sow hollyhocks to get strong
plniits. The shasta daisies, or Chrys-
anthemum m.'iximum, especially King
IMward \'n, nre fine. Coreopsis grandi-
tbna is fine for cutting. Do not sow it
iiel'orc .Innc, for it is a rapid grower.
Sweet Williams, or dianthus, are fine
tor ciittiiiL'. Sow these in June. The
]iereiiiiial lujiine'^, l.iipinus poiyphyllus,
are always jiopiilar. These couje easily
from seed.
The columbines, such as Aquilegia
ihiysaiitha and mixed hybrids, now
-own indoors, will make strong j)lants
by fall, but will not bloom until next

of them as when you leave them crowd-
ed. Give supports in good season.
Mulch with old manure, straw, grass
or meadow hay when the flowering sea-
son starts. Keep the flowers picked
clean and remove all seed pods. If
aphis appears, spray at once with a nic-
otine or soapy spray. Syringing over-
head on the evenings of hot days is re-
freshing and abundant waterings,
where they can be given, are of great
value. It may not be possible to do
all these things, but they are the es-
sentials of successful open air culture
of sweet peas.
STARTINQ AN OUTDOOR CROP.
Sowing and Planting.
The best outdoor sweet peas are pro-
duced when special trenches have been
prepared for them the previous fall.
Where such work has not been done, a
special effort should be made to either
trench or spade deeply and enrich the
ground, working in plenty of well de-
cayed cow or stable manure, with some
fine bone and wood ashes added.
Now is a good time to sow sweet peas
under glass, to be planted out from
April 10 to May 1, according to lati-
tude. The sowing can be made in 3-
inch pots, allowing two seeds to a pot,
later thinning out to one, or, better
still, in flats or pans of sand, from
which the seedlings can be potted sin-
gly, kept in a greenhouse for a time and
later transferred to a coldframe,
where they can be gradually hardened.
At planting-out time allow twelve
inches between the plants. This may
seem wide apart at first, but remember
that sweet peas, if given sufficient space
for development, are bushy in habit
and will soon fill the rows with a dense
growth.
Single Stems.
For purely exhibition purposes plants
are now trained to single stems and
even side shoots removed. With all the
strength thrown into a single growth,
stems and flowers of wonderful size are
produced; they would bring fancy
prices in the markets. However, it is
doubtful if it would be a paying propo-
sition to many florists unless they had
customers willing to pay high prices
for such flowers. For supports for
growing specimen 4)looms, bamboos
often are used, with wires run length-
wise to keep them erect. For ordinary
flowers, birch, wild cherry and other
forms of brush are excellent. Where
these are unobtainable, wire netting of
a somewhat coarse mesh can be utilized.
A Selection of Varieties.
' The following is a selection of excel-
lent sweet peas of moderate price:
White, Nora Unwin or White Spencer;
orange pink, Helen Lewis; cream pink,
Mrs. Hugh Dickson or Mrs. Routzahn;
blush, Elfrida Pearson; deep pink.
Countess Spencer; scarlet, Thomas
Stevenson or Scarlet Emperor; picotee
edged, Martha Washingfton or Mrs. C.
W. Breadmore; lavender, Florence
Nightingale; mauve, Asta Ohn; blue,
Captain of the Blues. Of these the best
selling colors are deep pink, white, lav-
ender, orange, pink and scarlet, in this
order.
Where some of the newer varieties
are wanted for a trial, I would suggest
the following. These, in nearly all
cases, show an advance over the older
varieties: White, Constance Hinton;
orange scarlet. The President; deep
pink, Hercules, which is a glorified
Countess Spencer; scarlet, Fiery Cross;
salmon orange, Bobert Sydenham; self
blue, Wedgwood; rosy mauve. The
Lady Eveline; salmon rose, Edith
Taylor; clear lavender, Margaret Madi-
son.
The Essentials.
A few points to remember about
sweet pea culture outdoors are: The
ground must be well manured and the
more deeply it can be plowed or spaded
the better. In sowing seed outside, do
it as soon as possible after the frost
has left the ground and it has become
workable. Cover the seeds about two
inches and leave the tops of the rows
somewhat hollowed out. Do not fill in
about the plants as they grow, as is
often recommended, unless you want
stem-rot to clear out many of your
plants. Sow thinly, or, if the plants
come up thickly, thin out to an average
of four inches apart. This will give
you far better flowers and just as many
SWEXST PEAS DYING.
Why do some of my sweet peas
planted in a solid bench diet I limed
one bench and planted snapdragons be-
tween the rows of peas. The sweet
peas appear all right one day, but the
next day I find the tops dried and
withered. The stalks under the ground
seem hard and woody. Would dark
weather do this? R. N. P. — Mass.
Perhaps your plants stand too closely
in the rows. They ought not to be less
than four inches apart. Have you
made the common error of hilling them
up while they are youngf This is ac-
countable for many failures in sweet
pea culture. I imagine your soil is not
right for the peas. It should be deep,
well enriched with old cow manure and
possessing good drainage. Keep as
even a temperature as you can; 45 to
48 degrees at night before flowering
and 50 degrees at night after the flow-
ers open, with a rise to 58 degrees on
dark days and 65 to 70 degrees on
sunny days. C. W.
S. A. NUTT OEBANIUM.
In The Review of February 24 a sub-
scriber asks for the history of the S. A.
Nutt geranium. This variety was
originated by "Uncle John" Thorpe,
pioneer florist and first president of the
S. A. F., who died at Chicago in 1909.
S. A. Nutt was awarded a certificate
of merit by the New York Horticul-
tural Society in 1884 or 1885, and was
distributed through cataloguies as a
novelty in 1886. It was one of a group
of five, consisting of Marvel, Mary
Hill, pink; Thomas McMurray, cerise;
Golden Dawn, orange-scarlet, and S. A.
Nutt. All of these originally were
grown by Mr. Thorpe. S. A. Hill.

ber of new geraniums in 1883 or 1884.
The so-called S. A. Nutt now is badly
mixed with other varieties.

DISEASED GERANIUM FOLIAGE.
I am sending you, under separate
cover, samples of diseased geranium
leaves. They seem to be affected in
two different ways. On some plants
the edges of the leaves are affected
and on others a small spot appears on
the lower side of the leaves. We have
noticed this trouble for the last two
weeks. Will you kindly tell us what to
do? C. K.— N. Y.
NUTT GERANIUM IN MINNESOTA.
In response to the inquiry for the his-
tory of the S. A. Nutt geranium, I will
give its history in Minnesota. The first
S. A. Nutt geraniums grown in Minne-
sota were bought by me from Albert
Williams, of Sharon, Pa., in 1887. Mr.
Williams had received this variety
among a number of others from Mr.
Pick off the affected leaves. Give the
plants a spraying with Fungine at the
strength recommended on the can. Do
not syringe your plants overhead when
watering or damping down with the
hose. Keep the plants a little on the
dry side. Let them dry out tolerably
well between the waterings. A temper-
ature of not over 50 degrees at night,

dant ventilation and lots of sun are
what the plants need. Also, be careful
not to use any fresh manure when pot-
ting, as this induces a rank, soft
growth, which easily falls a prey to dis-
ease. Spread the plants out occasion-
ally and pick off the decayed or decay-
ing leaves. Persevere in this treatment,
do not throw any rubbish below your
benches and your plants should come
out all right. C. W.

Guernsey bulbs are earlier than the
Dutch bulbs. The flowers are somewhat
smaller. French bulbs are earlier than
Guernsey, but not so large. Southern-
grown bulbs I have had no experience
with. The time it will take bulbs to
show flowers depends much on when
you start them. Started early in Jan-
uary, they need double the time they
would in March. Trumpet major. Sin-
gle Von Sion, princeps and Golden Spur
require three to four weeks in a tem-
perature of 55 degrees, according to
season; La Beine tulips the same. Mu-
rillo tulips, if wanted fairly early, re-
quire nearly double the time of La
Reine. If started after March 1 they
come on much more quickly. Allow
Double Von Sion four weeks on the
average. Emperor, Sir Watkin and
poeticus ornatus should have four to
five weeks; Victoria and Barri con-
spicuus an average of flve weeks. Of
course all come in less time if the
weather is warm. C. W.

I believe that if G. K., of Dlinois,

Give the calla beds a good watering of
hot water, but see that it is not scald-

manner all winter and have had free
blooms all season. The flowers are extra
large, too. I occasionally water the

tory, but distillate is too expensive in
most cases to use for fuel.
I would advise you to let oil alone
unless you have 8,000 or 10,000 feet of
glass, and install a horizontal return-
flue high-pressure steam boiler. Fuel
oil cannot be burned successfully with
less than twenty pounds pressure. You
would be obliged to make your own
burner, as there is none on the market
that would operate with so small a
flow of oil as is needed in this case.
Fifty gallons of oil, properly handled,
will easily keep 5,000 feet of glass hot
in zero weather for twenty-four hours.

I noticed the inquiry of C. F. B. in
The Review of February 17 concerning
the use of fuel oil in greenhouse heat-
ing. As I have been burning oil for
several years, I can assist C. F. B., and
do so herewith as payment for your
kindness in answering my inquiry of
January 13:
Tou cannot bum fuel oil under a hot
water boiler unless you have a small
steam boiler, fired with wood or coal,
to carry a pressure of twenty pounds
or more. This you would connect to
the oil burner to operate it, but even
at that your fire would be much too
hot. There are some burners on the
market designed for burning distillate,
both with and without air pressure,
that are, to a certain extent, satisfac-
THE ADVEBTISEBS' DUTY.
The paper has called attention of
patrons of your advertisers to the im-
portance of mentioning The Review
when writing to, or ordering from, the
advertisers. This has often reminded
me of the duty advertisers owe the cus-
tomers. I have frequently had diffi-
culty to get prompt acknowledgment
of receipt of money and order, the ad-
vertiser sometimes holding me up in
this way until I receive my stock en-
tirely too late for my purpose. Even
after writing the second time for a
reply, the delay is continued. I have
tried the method of first writing to
find out if stock is in hand ready to
ship, but the delay is only doubled.
Advertisers also frequently allow an
old advertisement to be repeated after
being sold out of the article advertised.
This is exasperating, to say the least.
Can not something be done? Why
not margin the advertising columns
with "Advertisers will please promptly
acknowledge receipt of orders, and keep
ads up to date"?
W. Grant Kintigh,
OOINO SOME.
My Mrs. Ward carnations carry stems
nearly three feet long, but as I want
all the cuttings I can get, I leave about
eight inches on the plant when I cut.
My new stems are nearly all over three
feet long now and my flowers of En-
chantress now measure three and one-
fourth to three and one-half inches in
diameter. As my sticks are only two
feet six inches above the ground, I
sometimes wish the plants would not
grow so tall, but what do you think
of the growth? I have a space 6x20
feet planted with sweet peas and last
week I picked over 2,000 sweet peas
off them. I think this is going some.
I enjoy reading the questions in The
Review. I have Enchantress, Rose-
pink Enchantress, White Enchantress
and Enchantress Supreme, also Phila-
delphia and Matchless, all planted about
September, but have not had a split on
them. In October I planted about 100
Ward and 100 White Perfection and
half of the flowers are split. The tem-
perature runs all the way from 48 to
60 degrees, so I do not believe the
changes in temperature have anything
to do with split calyxes, but I believe
that the check in the growth of the
plants is the real cause, as the first
named varieties never were checked,
but the latter two were shipped here
and were taken up out of the field,
while the first were small plants when
planted and made their growth in the
house. I am feeding my carnations and
sweet peas quite heavily, but have not
lost any buds on the sweet peas. I
had a hard time getting them started,
however, as I lost a good many young
plants from stem-rot. Wm. H. Hertel.

FROSTS IN MIDSUMMER.
In this latitude, in the high altitudes
of Wyoming, it is impossible to plant
carnations outdoors, as we have occa-
sional frosts during June, July, Au-
gust and September. In such circum-
stances, could carnation plants be
shifted from 2-inch to 3-inch or 4-inch
pots in the early spring, instead of
planting them outdoors, or would they
thrive satisfactorily if set out in
benches out of 2-inch pots in the
spring? Our outdoor temperature in
summer seldom rises above 85 degrees
on bright days and 30 or 40 degrees at
night. A definite answer to this would
be greatly appreciated, as I intend to
build a greenhouse in the near future
and grow nothing but carnations and
pot plants. Our altitude is 6,700 feet
above sea level. L. B. W. — Wyo.
Carnations are frequently planted on
the benches from pots, and with excel-
lent results. One of the principal rea-
sons why it is not done more generally
is that the benches usually are not avail-
able early enough. If you can plant
the benches by April 1, then you can
plant from 2-inch pots, but if the
benches are not ready until May or
June, then you should shift into 4-inch
pots.
After the first season, you would
likely prefer to leave the old plants in
the benches until later in the summer
and I would suggest that you plant
the young plants in frames, where yon
can cover them with sashes in case of
frost. There they would grow until
early July, when they would be equal
to any field-grown stock in this section
and would be benched and handled in
the same way A. F. J. B.
CARNATION YELLOWS.
■ We are sending under separate cover
u carnation plant which is badly af-
fected with some disease. Our crop
looked perfectly healthy until recently,
when pale green spots appeared on the
foliage, and, as they developed, seemed
to destroy the vitality of the plants.
In some cases these spots elongate
into larger areas of infection, causing
the leaf to become hard and brittle.
The disease is developing rapidly and
threatens to destroy the entire crop.
We are satisfied that the cultural con-
ditions are correct, as we have pursued
the same methods as in past seasons.
We have sprayed the benches occa-
sionally with salt, to ward off spider.
Some of the stock we bought, and
benched it with our own, in August, but
both are similarly affected. The soil
ia a compost of pure turf and rotten
manure, heaped up the year previously.
It seems strange that the disease ap-
peared everywhere simultaneously and
not in isolated areas. Scarcely a plant
has escaped. As the crop is at the
height of florescence, we are anxious to
know whether we can successfully com-
bat the disease. Any information relat-
ing to its nature and elimination would
be greatly appreciated.

nation, instead of calling it for one of
the florists' newrich customers; but the
Chicago Florists' Club did better than
that — it expressed its approval of the
variety itself by scoring it eighty-nine
points at its novelty show, February 10,
Baur & Steinkamp, the raisers of
Merry Christmas, say: "We feel that
in this variety we have the best thing
in sight in the way of a scarlet car-
nation. It is from a long line of scar-
let seedling crosses, starting with Vic-
tory and Eobert Craig. It seems to
have all the qualities requisite to a
high-grade commercial scarlet. Visit-
ing growers at once pick it out as the
best thing on our place."
The specimen forwarded was badly
affected with carnation yellows, a dis-
ease which is being widely discussed
and investigated. Its origin is not defi-
nitely known; there is more than one
theory in regard to it and in regard to
its control. The next year should re-
veal some interesting and instructive
developments, which will be of great
value to the carnation industry. The
best treatment known at this time is
to keep it in check by selection of the
cuttings, taking cuttings only from the
plants showing the least signs of the
disease. It is also known that over-
watering in dark weather will aggra-
vate it. After a plant is once badly
affected, it is impossible to change these
spots, as they are the result of broken
down and decayed cells in the leaf.

VARIOUS BARNYARD MANURES.
What do you think of using horse
and hog manure in making liquid for
carnations? I have a tank that holds
fifty barrels of water. Would it hurt
a good, healthy bed of carnations to
water it with this mixture? Would
you advise the use of it in potting
soil? What do you think of using
chicken manure as a compost for bed-
ding stock, carnations and chrysanthe-
mums? C. H. J. — Mass.
Liquid manure made from stable
and hog manure should not harm your
carnations in the least. Use about
twice as much of the stable manure as

you would of cattle manure in making
the liquid. Of the hog manure, use
about the same quantity as you would
of sheep manure.
At the A, C. S. meeting in St. Louis,
a successful grower stated that he
used chicken manure with good results.
He sprinkled a small handful of the
material to a row, but only applied it
to every second row, to avoid serious
effects in case of burning. We have
had no personal experience with it in
growing carnations. We would not
recommend this or the hog manure for
mixing compost. Use them only as
top-dressing or for making liquid ma-
nure. A. F. J. B.

The Market.
The cut flower markets have begun
to show the signs of abundance. Every-
thing seems to promise an "elegant
sufficiency." In fact, the recession in
prices has already begun. American
Beauties have dropped in price to $50
per hundred for the selected and, of
course, all other roses follow in their
wake, excepting Hadley and Prima
Donna, of which the supply is not equal
to the demand. From now on there
will be enough of everything in roses.
Prices on short-stemmed roses fell to
$20 per thousand February 26. The de-
partment stores are beginning to sit
up and take notice, for bargain days
are on the way. Carnations at the
week 's end were down to $20 per thou-
sand for the best stock, while $1 per
hundred was the quotation for the
lower grades. A few of the carnation
novelties still bring from $2 to $3 per
hundred.
iLongiflorum lilies are again abundant
and prices are diminishing, few of the
lilies selling above $8 per hundred last
week. Valley was scarce and the best
blooms sold at $4 per hundred. Gar-
denias brought the same price per
dozen and there were too few of these
for the demand. There is no change in
the violet market, only the best singles
selling above 40 cents per hundred.
Doubles are fortunate to command 25
cents. During the warmer weather the
street merchants can easily dispose of
the surplus. Orchids are stronger and
the best blooms of the cattleyas sell
at better prices than during previous
weeks. There is a large supply of
freesias, calla lilies, daffodils and tulips,
the latter coming in a flood, as soon
will the southern flowers. Spring flow-
ers of all kinds are increasing, includ-
ing sweet peas, lilac, pansies, daisies,
stocks and wallflowers.

The Horticultural Society.
The success of the exhibitions for
January and February has influenced the
society to hold an exhibition in March,
contrary to its usual custom. This ex-
hibition will occur March 15, at the
American Museum of Natural History.
Premiums are 'offered for collections
of cut blooms of orchids, for both com-
mercial and non-commercial growers,
and also for roses and carnations for
both classes of growers. Schedules are
ready, and will be sent on application
to the secretary, George V. Nash, New
York Botanical Garden. Bronx Park.
BALTIMORE.
The Market.
There were no special features to last
week's business. Washington's birth-
day had little effect on the local trade;
no advertising was done and there was
but little extra business. The supply
is ample for all demands, except in a
few instances. The demand and prices
have been steady. Roses were in good
demand for short and medium grades;
long and specials sold at low prices, con-
sidering the quality. The violet supply
has shortened and, while the demand
is not large, there is only a small sur-
plus. In sweet peas those of good qual-
ity were none too plentiful and they
Bold well; quantities of superior stock
sold at a good price. Carnations in
light colors sold well, but reds were
draggy even at reduced prices.
Valley has been in good demand at
$5 per hundred. Freesia is moving
slowly at sacrifice prices. Daffodils sold
well but tulips moved at only fair speed.
Funeral work was the largest item and
there was little surplus at the end of
the week. The street fakers were con-
spicuous by their absence. Smilax still
is in short supply, but asparagus and
other greens are plentiful and moving
well.
Club Meeting.
The largest turnout of members of
the season greeted J. Otto Thilow at
the regular meeting of the club Feb-
ruary 28. Mr, Thilow 's address was the
best thing the essay committee has put
before the club this season, and his talk
was both interesting and instructive.
At its conclusion he was tendered the
thanks of the club. Charles Uffler spoke
on hardy plants for bedding and gave
a list of varieties that would insure a
continuous succession of bloom the en-
tire summer and fall. The question of
having a suitable emblem for the club
was brought up and adopted. It will
be ready for distribution in a short
time. The banquet committee reported
everything ready for the annual feast
of the club at the next meeting, March
13, at Hotel Rennert. Tickets are $2.50
per plate^ strictly stag. On account of
the election of ofi&cers and the banquet,
the meeting will be called at 7 p. m.
sharp.
Vaxious Notes.
February 14, one of the coldest days
of the winter, George Talbot had the
misfortune to have one of the tubes in
his boiler burst, and before the fire
could be drawn to permit a man to
enter and plug the leak the tempera-
ture in the houses dropped below the
freezing point. The stock was a total
loss. Mr. Talbot is secretary of the
local club and well known to the trade,
whose sympathy he has in his misfor-
tune.
E. A. Seidewitz was a busy man last
week as chairman of the committee in
charge of the Rotarian conclave held
in this city. He also was toastmaster
at the banquet tendered to the visiting
Rotarians by the local club.
Charles E. Smith & Co. have had at-
tractive window displays of plants,
consisting chiefly of primulas and aza-
leas.
Henry Lehr, who has been confined
to the hospital for some time, is steadily
improving and expects to be able to
go home in a short while.
Visitors last week were Robert
Shoch and I. Rosnosky, of Philadel-
phia, and Roman J. Irwin, of New York.

HYACINTH BUDS DBOPPING.
I have trouble with hyacinth buds
popping off when about one inch lon^.
I should like to know the cause of this
and shall appreciate ffny information.
W. E. T.— N. J.
You should have no trouble with
hyacinth buds "popping off," which,
I presume, may mean dropping or damp-
ing off, if the plants are properly wa-
tered. If the water is poured over the
flower spikes the probabilities are that
many buds or the whole spike may rot
off. Allow your hyacinths to make a
growth three inches long in the dark
before starting them. C. W.
CANNAS FOB MEMOBIAI. DAY.
When should canna roots be planted
in 3-inch or 4-inch pots to have good
plants for May 301 Any information
will be appreciated. S. B. — N. Y.
Cut your cannas up to strong single
eyes and start them in a temperature
of 60 degrees about March 15. Pot
them when growth starts. Use light,
rich soil. Continue to grow them in a
warm, moist house. Gradually harden
them off before the time for sales ar-
rives. You will have plants of ample
size if you start them at the time
named. C. W.
Troy, Ala. — Plans have been made by
R. B. Chapman to rebuild the Troy
Greenhouse, which recently was com-
pletely wrecked by a terrific boiler ex-
plosion.
Homeland, Ga. — Mrs. J. L. White,
who grows flowers outdoors all the year
around and ships them to the wholesale
market, expects to have 100,000 gladioli
flowering in May. Violets may be
grown outdoors successfully during the
winter months, as well as cannas, dah-
lias and roses.
Jacksonville, Fla. — Mills, the Florist,
takes the prize for originality in valen-
tine window displays. This year's win-
dow was so unusual that the daily pa-
pers gave it space. By peeping through
an opening in the window made to re-
semble the shape of a heart, the ob-
server saw a wonderful display of flower
valentines.
New Orleans, La. — The New Orleans
Horticultural Society has selected April
6 to 9 as the dates for the spring flower
show. The following constitute the
committee on arrangements: P. A.
Chopin, Henry Scheuermann, Charles
Panter, the Abele brothers, Herman
Doescher, Charles Eble, C. W. Eichling,
E. A. Farley, Henry Kraak, Claude Ory,
J. A. Newsham, F. J. Reyes, M.
Scheinuk, B. M. Wichers, Henry Mische
and A. Dammerau.
Houston, Tex. — Boyle & Pendarvis
have purchased acreage in Westmore-
land Farms for the purpose of establish-
ing greenhouses to supply their Main
street store.
Montgomery, Ala. — F. A. Morse, until
recently pot plant foreman for the Bose-
mont Gardens, has been appointed man-
ager of the greenhouses of the H. F.
Michell Co., at Andalusia, Pa.
Houston, Tex. — An address by E. C.
Kerr, vice-president of the Society of
American Florists, on "Modern Green-
house Construction in the South" was
the feature of the recent semimonthly
meeting of the Houston Florists' Club.
Mr. Kerr took up the subject in de-
tail and developed many points of in-
terest as to the manner in which a
greenhouse should be constructed in or-
der to make it most effective under the
climatic conditions prevailing in
Houston. Mr. Kerr stated that in his
opinion the retailer should not be
obliged to bother himself so much with
greenhouses and that the real solution
of the problem which Houston florists
are facing would be to invite whole-
sale growers to open establishments in
the city. Following Mr. Kerr's ad"-
dress a general discussion was indulged
in by the members. Reports were re-
ceived stating that both the fall flower
show and yard contest were financial
successes.

OBITUARY
W. Wells.
Probably no Englishman has had so
important a part in shaping the course
of floriculture in this country as has
the venerable W. Wells, whose death
February 28 is announced by cable.
Mr. Wells was the English representa-
tive of the triumvirate of chrysanthe-
mum raisers represented in this country
by Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J.,
and in Australia by T. W. Pockett,
who has raised as many good sorts as
any other man now living. The va-
rieties Mr. Totty has introduced in
America Mr. Wells has disseminated
in England. He has made two tours
among the growers in this country, es-
tablishing a wide personal acquaint-
ance, and it has been because of his
intimate knowledge of conditions here
that he has been able to send over so
many good foreign novelties and also
to take from American growers, for
distribution in England, some of the
best things now grown commercially
in the British Isles.
While Mr. Wells is best known for
his work with the chrysanthemum, he
has been scarcely less active in the
introduction of new carnations, and
many other plants have profited by
his keen vision, botanical, cultural and
financial.
Mr. Wells made his last visit to this
country in the spring of 1913. Last
autumn he suffered a serious illness,
but a surgical operation saved his life.
The end came peacefully at his home
at Merstham, Surrey, February 28. The
business will be continued by his son,
who has been the active member of
the firm for some years.
Fred W. Brnenig.
Fred W. Bruenig, of St. Louis, Mo.,
died suddenly at the Lutheran hos-
pital, in that city, Friday morning,
February 25. He was suddenly taken
m while acting as pallbearer for his
friend, Conrad Bergstermann, Febru-
ary 23. He was taken home before
the funeral services began, and from
there to the hospital, where an opera-
tion was performed Thursday for an
abscess in the stomach. He died the
following morning. His death came
like a thunderbolt from a clear sky,
to his many friends in the trade.
Mr. Bruenig was born in Halle
Braunschweig, Germany, in 1863. He
came to this country when a young
man and settled in St. Louis, finding
employment at Charles Elleard's green-
houses, in EUeardsville, where he ob-
tained his -first knowledge of the flo-
rists' business. Aftet a few years he
formed a partnership with Henry Aue,
at Gravois and Mississippi avenues.
Afterward he bought out the interest
of Mr. Aue and since then he has built
up a large retail business, with a fine
greenhouse plant at Columbia, 111.,
which supplied his store. He is sur-
vived by his wife, two daughters, Clara
and Ida, and two sons, I^ed W. and
Carl.
He was a member of the St. Louis
Florists' Club, the Retail Florists' Asso-
ciation and many fraternal orders, the
members of which attended the funeral
in a body. The funeral took place
Monday, February 28, from his late

residence, 2215 Mississippi avenue, and
thence to Concordia cemetery. The
floral tributes from the Florists' Club,
Betail Florists' Association and many
friends were numerous and magnificent.
J. J. B.
Max Rudolph.
Max Rudolph, the well known Cin-
cinnati retailer and grower, died sud-
denly of heart failure February 22, at
his home, 1633 Elkton place, Cincinnati.
He was born in Leipzig, Germany, in
1864. After learning his trade in the
country of his birth, he came to the
United States at the age of 18. In
1891 he started his retail store on
Twelfth street, Cincinnati, and in 1900
built his greenhouses at College Hill.
He was successful in his business ven-
tures, and through his thoroughness,
his pleasant and kindly manner, he
made many friends as well as patrons.
At the time of his death he was presi-
dent of the Cincinnati Florists' So-
ciety. He was a member of the
S. A. F., the Cuvier-Press Club and
the German Pioneer Society. His wife
and son, Roy, in Cincinnati, and his
mother and one sister, in Germany,
survive him. C. H. H.
MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
H. W. Rieman, of Indianapolis, illus-
trated the growth in his business by
pointing out his two delivery automo-
biles and spoke of an auto truck to
come. Prompt delivery and increasing
business area made these essential. A
fine lot of French hydrangeas for
Easter were noted; also a long line of
hanging moss-lined baskets with Boston
ferns for centers and Asparagus Spren-
geri for borders. Mr. Bieman considers
a small block of cypripediums one of
the most profitable things on the place.
Fred Heinl, of J. G. Heinl & Son,
Terre Haute, Ind., was recently injured
in an accident that occurred while he
was on a special trip to the cemetery.
Mr. Heinl and the driver of the rig
were thrown to the ground and hurt,
necessitating confinement to their
homes. "Rather irritating at this busy
time, but it might have been worse,"
commented our philosophical friend.
William H. Gardner, of Richmond,
has secured the Knopf Floral Co. range.
Mr. Gardner for several years was with
P. J. Olinger & Co., Newcastle, both
as grower and manager of the commis-
sion end. With an up-to-date range, he
enters the field under most favorable
conditions.
The Bertermann Bros. Co., of Indian-
apolis, says everyone fails to recall
when fiowers were of such value as
during the last season. John Berter-
mann, reporting from the greenhouse
range, says Old King Sol is just as
shy out there as he is in town.
The E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, has
selected from 1,500 rose seedlings, of
which Ophelia is one parent, forty to
fifty promising scions, one of which, a
seedling of Killarney x Ophelia, shines
brilliantly as a leader. Joseph Hill
speaks highly of Hoosier Beauty, which
has superseded their own Richmond.
Lady Alice Stanley is well thought of.
Killarney Brilliant has made a fine
showing. The men in the grafting
house are working overtime turning
out three crops of 75,000 each time.
E. G. Hill was busily engaged in bud-
ding a new red on Killarneys planted
in the beds. He anticipates a genuine
surprise later. The quality of the rose
stock is equaled by the carnations.
Such varieties as Sensation, Good
Cheer and Matchless are in splendid
condition. These, with several other
popular kinds, are being propagated as
fast as possible. Chrysanthemums will
be up to the usual high mark. M.

ton, Tex.; secretary, John Young, 63 W. 28th

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.
There was another advance of five
points in the price of pipe February 29.
Green flower boxes rapidly are becom-
ing unobtainable because of the scarcity
of the dye.
If you haven't arranged for a summer
supply of giganteum bulbs it will be up
to you to pay a pretty penny of premium
or go without. First hands will have
nothing more to sell until the 1916 crop
comes over from Japan.
The S. a. F. political pot began boil-
ing unusually early this year, in contrast
to some recent years when it only reached
a simmer in August. The two men whose
friends are booming them for the presi-
dency are R. C. Kerr, of Houston, and
W. W. Coles, of Kokomo.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture,
through its Office of Information, is fur-
nishing newspapers a series of timely ar-
ticles on starting the season's gardening
operations, publication of which will do
the trade no end of good. See that the
newspaper you advertise in uses the ar-
ticles; the editor will be glad to print
them if he realizes their value.
Since the parcel post was established
the Editor's desk rarely has been without
flowers, sent by readers who had some-
thing specially good to show. For a week
the desk has been adorned by a vase of
Freesia splendens, sent by R. Fischer,
San Gabriel, Cal., flowers the size of
Purity at its best, deep lavender in
color and delightfully fragrant. A few
years from now thousands will grow it.
HAIL LOSSES HEAVY.
Secretary Esler, of the Florists' Hail
Association, has forwarded the twenty-
eighth assessment notices to members
of that organization.
Since August 1, 1915, the association
has paid $31,700 for glass broken by
hail.
THANK YOU, NEIGHBOB!
There is an oversupply of hardy
plants in Great Britain, resulting in a
fall in prices that has brought about
meetings of those engaged in the busi-
ness to devise ways and means for
remedying the situation. In this con-
nection the Horticultural Advertiser
(Lowdham) suggests that America af-
fords a market that should be culti-
vated: "The trade press is available,
* * * papers, which for circulation,
printing and style are unmatched
throughout the world."
IMPOBTEBS GET PEBMITS.
The office of the foreign trade adviser
of the State Department has been in-
formed by the British embassy at Wash-
ington of the issuance by the British
Foreign Office of permits in favor of
the following firms, guaranteeing the
uninterrupted shipment from Rotterdam
of German and Austrian goods, prior
shipment of which has been delayed by
reason of the operation of the British
order prohibiting the movement of so-
called enemy goods:
The M. Rice Co., of 1220 Race street,
Philadelphia, florists' supplies to the
value of 15,191.69 marks.
L. Baumann & Co., of Chicago, arti-
ficial flowers, leaves, etc., to the value
of 16,530 marks.
H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 1129 Arch
street, Philadelphia, artificial flowers,
baskets, etc, from Germany to the
value of 57,051 marks and from Aus-
tria to the value of 4,936 kronen.
THREE FBOM THE EAST.
And All Dated the Same Day.
The ease and economy with which a
greenhouse man in the east can clear
his surplus stock through advertising
in The Review is becoming pretty well
known through the trade. As an addi-
tional evidence, here are three letters
from three different eastern states, all
dated the same day but making a unani-
mous report:
Please take out our advertisement for a weelc
or two, as we are sold out. As soon as we have
cnnght up we will tell you to put it in aeain.
Thanlcs for tlie good worlc.— T. W. Baylis &
Sons, West Grove, I*a., February 21, 191C.
Please discontinue our ad, as it has done its
work; we are practically cleaned up. — Bel Air
Greenhouses, Bel Air, Md., February 21. 1910.
You win be Interested in knowing I have sold
over .'iO.OOO Dracaena indivisa in the last six
months from my 3-line classified ad in The
Review. — William Ehmann, Corfu, N. Y., Febru-
ary 21, 1916.
TJiose who have not tried it may be
interested in knowing just how Mr.
Ehmann 's ad pulled. His offer was of
dracsenas at $2 per hundred or $15 per
thousand. He says he sold 50,000. If
they all went at the thousand rate the
orders totaled $750. A 3-line classified
ad for six months costs $7.80, or prac-
tically one per cent of Mr. Ehmann 's
sale. As has been said before, can you
beat it?
When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.
HOTELS OF PHILADELPHIA.

the National Flower Show at Philadel-
phia will travel via the Pennsylvania
railroad, leaving the Union station,
Saturday, March 25, at 3:15 p. m., ar-
riving at Philadelphia 5:50 p. m. the
following day. The fare in each di-
rection is $19.10 and the party fare for
ten or more people on one ticket is
$17.39. The Pullman fares are $3.60
for upper berth, $4.50 for lower. Per-
sons desiring to visit New York during
the show at Philadelphia can secure
one-way tickets to New York at a cost
of $21.10, with the privilege of a 10-
day stopover at Philadelphia.

son boulevard, Chicago.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
The Chicago market conditions dur-
ing the last week have been those of
a week ago, but more highly accentu-
ated. While there has been at no time
what could be termed a glut in any par-
ticular item, there has been a suffi-
ciently large supply in almost every line
to require real salesmanship to move it.
Prices continue to rule high on Beau-
ties, but there is little demand and even
less stock. It is doubtful if there are
enough first-class Beauties in the mar-
ket to fill a good-sized order. The sup-
ply of other roses is ample to meet
every possible demand. White seems
by far the most plentiful. Of the red
varieties. Milady moves with the great-
est ease. Russell, in spite of the
plethora, is giving a good account of it-
self. As a natural result of the existing
conditions, prices are somewhat easier.
The carnation situation is far from
satisfactory, as the quality, on an aver-

Short and Medium Roses
mrm
Again in Good Supply
OU can order of us all the short and medium Roses you need— after an unpre-
cedented winter shortage we can again fill all
orders at moderate prices. On fancy long Roses,
which still are in good supply, we are specially
strong on Russell, Killarney Brilliant, Ward, Ophelia, Kil-
larney and White Killarney.

Use Giganteum Lilies for Funeral Sprays and for Wedding
Decorations. These are the largest and showiest flowers for the
money and we offer a large crop.
Carnations
The quality of our Carna-
tions is extremely good and the
supply is the largest of the
season to date— we can fill all
orders.
Bulb Stock
We handle more bulbous
flowers than any other whole-
sale house in this part of the
country. Tulips, Daffs, Jon-
quils. Of course the quality is

age, falls short of standard. Many
wholesalers report receipts of carna-
tions at least fifty per cent splits. Some
report a greater, others a lesser per-
centage.,, As shipping orders can easily
take care of all the really good stock,
•it takes alertness on the part of the
city buyers and salesmanship on the
part of the wholesalers to achieve their
respective ends.
Bulbous stock is still plentiful enough,
but it is selling slowly. Southern jon-
quils are here in force, which does not
greatly improve matters. Romans are
gone. Paper Whites are rapidly reced-
ing from a position of prominence.
Cailas seem to have been touched by
some regenerating influence, for though
they have been arriving in quantity,
they are moving well and at a fair
price. Easter lilies, too, are extremely
plentiful, but there is no clamor for
them. An almost unabated supply of
violets arrives on the market, but the
demand for them has lost its zest.
Really excellent sweet peas remain de-
cidedly scarce, though stock of inferior
quality may be had with little difficulty.
Calendula is short. So, too, is snap-
dragon. The status of cattleyas re-
mains much the same. Valley is on
the seesaw of s^ipply and demand.
The situation in Mexican ivy is eas-
ier. Greens in general are in normal
supply and move as well as the rest of
the market will permit.
Chicago to Moline.
There are no indications of a large
delegation of florists from Chicago to
the meeting of the Illinois State Flo-
rists' Association at Moline next week,
but several of the wholesalers and
houses in the allied trades will send
representatives, so that a fair-sized
party will take the train selected by
the Florists' Club's committee. The
party will leave the Rock Island sta-
tion. La Salle and "Van Buren streets,
March 7, at 10 a. m., due at Moline
1:53 p. m., the opening business session
being called at 2 p. m. that day. The
one-way fare is $3.58. There are no
party or other special rates on this trip.
"No Admittance."
The sign at the door of the great
ROSES-
of the Kennicott kind, with well developed heads,
stiff stems and clean foliage, are the center of
attraction even in a market that is no longer stiff.
All Kennicott's Cuts are Quality Cuts, and worth

trated in the Le Moyne building, the,
heavier operations in the basement, the
lighter on the third floor. Here in
light, airy quarters sit forty basket
weavers, their curious equipment about
them. Beyond are a score of young
lady artists busily hand-decorating a
variety of articles. Close by are a
half dozen tinsmiths making liners for
baskets and vases. Near them are
three enclosed air-brush outfits beneath
their odd canopies, busily decorating
baskets. Oflf in the other end of the
building sit row after row of girls
making up artificial flowers, manufac-
turing wreaths, etc. The air is filled
with the hum of industry, although it
practically all is hand work. Your
guide tells you that the workers nearly
all are Europeans, trained in youth to
the tasks to which they have here
again turned their hands, for the force
has nearly all been recruited since the
war shut off imports.

to sell again for less than
other dealers had to pay— now
Randall manufacturing facili-
ties have been developed to the
point where we can plac them at
the service of wholesalers and
jobbers as well as retailers. Our
line probably includes the arti-
cle you need, but if it does not
we will make it for you. cheaper
than you can make it for your-
self and better than it can be
made by less expert workers.

Randall Service to Retail Florists

/A/ r///s sp/fCE.
Randall Service to Retailers has come to
be widely appreciated. Randall's interest
does not cease when the goods are sold to
the Florist— Randall helps the Florist sell to
the public.
One detail of Eandall service is to supply
FREE ready-to-prlnt advertisements for local
newspapers. These printing plates are of a
quality impossible to obtain outside the largest
cities, and the cost of art work and engraving is
so great no Florist could afford them on ads for
his use only.
"The ads and the picture-show slides have greatly In-
creased my business. I feel that I MUST have Kandall ser-
vice iu future," writes a retailer who used our St. Valen-
tine's helps.
Here are two NEW ads— plates now ready.
Your choice (plate ready to go on the press)
FREE with any order for Supplies amounting to
$25.1 0, or both plates Free with any order for
Supplies amounting to $40.00.
These are much reduced illustrations of the
ads we supply our customers FREE. The ads
are full 2-column newspaper size, 6*4x4J^. We
supply the plates complete, ready to go on the
press. All you have to do is to tell your news-
paper to set your ad and name in type in the
spaces left open in the plate.

buying side, the Chicago representative
makes the purchases for the three
iLamborn places at Xenia and the new
store being opened at Dayton.
J. C. Michal, of Michal Bros., 7045
Stony Island avenue, has leased the
store at 1168 East Sixty-third street
and will open a retail store there in
the near future. Mr. Michal has placed
his order for complete fixtures and a
refrigerator, of special design, with
Buchbinder Bros. His new location is
almost opposite that of J. H. McNeilly
and in the next block to the western-
most of A. F. Keenan's two stores, so
Sixty-third street soon will have four
flower stores in less than three blocks.
The express companies operating
through car service east from the Pa-
cific coast were in the market last week
with quantities of California flowers
and greens that had been frozen by a
sudden cold wave as the shipments
were crossing the western states. Not
much could be saved.
One of the Chicago visitors at the
National Flower Show will be Emil
Buettner. He has been invited to act
as one of the judges of the rose section.
It is the practice of Wietor Bros, to
try out some of the new things each
season and orders have been g^ven for
trial quantities of Nancy carnation and
Dark Pink Russell rose.
There is ever increasing evidence that
growers of American Beauties are see-
ing the handwriting on the wall. One
by one they acknowledge that they are
decreasing the space devoted to this
one-time queen of roses and confess
that its sun is not far from the setting.
A. H. Budlong, in a recent interview,
said that in his opinion the chief trou-
ble with this variety arises from the
fact that it has been relentlessly forced,
both in season and out of season. It

pristine strength and vigor if given a
sufficient rest. But there is a unanimity
of opinion to the effect that this rest
it will never receive. Just so long as
any grower gives it space he will de-
mand of it that it pay its way. After
canvassing the matter from all its dif-

Our factories are devoted to one thing only — making baskets and making them
right. All our time is taken up designing and turning out baskets that will appeal
to those who buy them, and our success is proved by the wonderful demand that
has grown for our baskets. The quality mark for baskets is the name RAEDLEIN.
Do you purchase baskets under that name? If not, you have been overlooking an
important point in giving your customers satisfaction, and now is the time to correct
that mistake and build up a business founded on QUALITY such as we are alone
able to give.

ter of T. E. Waters, of the supply de-
partment, was taken to St. Joseph's
hospital February 29 to undergo a
minor operation on her throat.
What might have been an extremely
serious accident befell M. Weiland, the
veteran florist of Evanston, while pass-
ing the Atlas block February 28. A
pane of glass, no one seems to know
how, fell from a third floor window
and struck him fairly on the head.
Fortunately, Mr. Weiland has a thick
thatch of hair and wore a heavy cap.
Still more fortunately, the flat of the
glass struck him. Had it been the
edge, the result would undoubtedly have
been fatal. As it was, though consid-
erably cut, he was able to return to
his home unassisted.
Now that the days are waxing longer,
William Kyle, of Kyle & Foerster, finds
himself strongly drawn by the call of
the open air and it is the diflScult prob-
lem of selecting a new roadster that
claims his hours of leisure.
Hanging in a conspicuous J51ace on
the wall in the office of Joseph Ziska
& Sons appears the following food for
thought: "If you want to lose a cus-
tomer and a friend, sell him goods on
credit. Then, wait six months before
you ask him for the money, and see
him get mad. Love many, trust few
and paddle your own canoe." Most of
those who read, begin the task in a
jocose humor, but a thoughtful expres-
sion steals over the features as the
reader turns away.
In reviewing the last year, M. C.
Gunterberg has but one regret, and
that is that she did not sooner move
to her present location at 158 North
Wabash avenue. The difference be-
tween the volume of business done in
the old location and that done in the
new is surprising.
After undergoing an operation on his
left ear last week, A. L. Berry, of A. L.
Berry & Co., Chicago agents for
Carter's Tested Seeds, is able to be in
his office again. J. Fisher, in charge
of the seed department, has just re-
turned from a trip through the state
and reports good spring business in
flower and grass seeds.
Funeral work has kept K. Wall, 258
North Kedzie avenue, quite busy for
the last two weeks.

Alois Frey, of Crown Point, Ind.,
was a visitor February 29, on his way
to California to inspect his colored
freesias now in bloom in the open at
Montebello, where he expects soon to
harvest a large crop of bulbs.
Two Minneapolis gentlemen, both of
the flower department of the Dayton
Co., were in the city this week looking
for new ideas in retail store equip-
ment, decoration and management.
They were M. I. Lindsay and A. L.
Saxe.
Among those who visited the Chicago
market last week was E. T. Brown, of
the Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., on
his way home from a trip to Eureka,
Cal.
Members of the Chicago trade were
visited this week by F. H. Henry, of
Henry & Lee, New York. From all
reports, Mr. Lee seems to 4)e maintain-
ing his reputation as a story-teller.
One of this week's visitors was

The Market.
The market last week was erratic.
Each day there was a scarcity of one
or more varieties of flowers, and the
growers and wholesalers found it hard
to fill all orders. American Beauty roses
are hard to obtain and are bringing
good prices. It is impossible to fill all
orders for carnations, although the price
remains stationary at $4 per hundred.
There are just about enough roses to
go around. The prices on sweet peas
remain steady at $1.50 and $2 per hun-
dred and the stock is good and selling
well. The price on cattleyas has stiff-
ened somewhat and these are now bring-
ing $5 to $6 per dozen. Lily of the
valley is poor. This is said to be on

ent the President and dignitaries of this
country and of foreign powers. The
work was done by J. H. Small & Sons
and is said to have eclipsed all previous
efforts on the part of this concern. J.
H. Small is a prominent member of this
organization and personally superin-
tended the work.
Another notable decoration was that
of George H. Cooke, president of the
Florists' Club, who is noted for his
unique designs. The affair was at Rau-
scher's, where both ballrooms were oc-
cupied. The main decoration was on a
table 18x35 feet, done entirely in spring
flowers. A large number of French
baskets were used.
William F. Gude is back of a project
which contemplates the enlargement of
the present Botanic Gardens, by taking
in the large tract of land recently ac-
quired by the government. The author-
ities have declared that the gardens are
at present cramped for room, and there
has been a movement on foot to remove
them to Rock Creek park, a consider-
able distance from the center of the
city. This has been opposed by the flo-
rists and others interested. Mr. Gude
Elans, should tliis scheme succeed, to
ave erected in the center of this new
space a fitting memorial to the late
William R. Smith. It is understood
that legislation will be offered in Con-
gress within a short time and it is
Mr. Gude's desire that florists send
letters to their representatives in Con-
gress urging the enlargement of the
gardens.
The annual meeting of the Florists'
Club will be held at 1214 F street,
northwest, March 7. The feature of
the meeting will be the annual election
of officers. At the February meeting
the following nominations were made:
President, Lloyd Jenkins; vice-presi-
dent, Adolph Gude; treasurer, William
F. Gude; secretary, Clarence L. Linz.
Nominations for the executive commit-
tee are: George Field, Adolph Gude,
George H. Cooke, Theodore Diedrich,
David Bisset and William H. Ernest.
It is expected that additional nomina-
tions may be made from the floor at the
time of the meeting.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
The market opened weakly February
24. It strengthened on the following
day and by February 26 became active
under the influence of unfavorable
weather. Extreme cold, high winds and
a limited quantity of sunshine have
had their effect on many of the crops.
There is a fair amount of business, with
only a moderate supply of flowers in
a wide range of varieties. The situa-
tion in many of these varieties is inter-
esting. Beauties are extremely scarce
and command a high price. White roses
are scarce in all the wholesale houses,
and while there has been no special
demand for them, even a moderate
order has sometimes been difficult to
execute. Generally speaking, all vari-
eties of roses are more plentiful in the
short grade than in any other, indicat-
ing that the growers are getting their
crops in before Lent. The medium
grades are more sought after by the
buyers than either the shorts or the
fancies. Carnations have fallen off in
number and hold steady in price. Sweet
peas have suffered sadly; bud dropping
is reported as a serious condition with
many clever growers. The peas that
are coming to the market are in de-
mand, Yarrawa especially so.
Violets have been active at the low
prices. Growers from the Torresdale
district are said to be nearly through
picking from their houses; they will
rely on the frames for their later flow-
ers. This condition is extraordinary
for so early in the season, and is said
to be the result of heavy winter produc-
tion. Daffodils have moved slowly at
times, then recovered rapidly; the va-
riety is greater now: Golden Spur,
Empress, Victoria, Double Von Sion and
princeps, the latter seemingly unsatis-
factory. Lilac is arriving in fine form
and sells readily. Tulips are improv-
ing; when good they meet a market.
Despite heavy shipments from the south.

Asparagus i)lunutsus is in short supply.
Dagger and fancy ferns are quite
scarce. Easter lilies continue in good
demand; callas are selling freely. Good
snapdragon, mignonette, yellow daisies
and primroses are all wanted. Sum-
ming up the market, there is good busi-
ness at prices that are only fair, but
there is not much snap in the trading.
Valley is steady, with indications of an
advance in price. Southern arbutus has
arrived.
The Bose Annual.
The American Rose Society is about
to issue its rose annual for 1916. This
attractive book is the best the society
has ever issued. It is edited and pub-
lished by J. Horace McFarland and
reflects great credit upon him and upon
the workers of the society. There are ■
a number of illustrations, two of them
in colors. The main strength of the
book lies in the complete way in which
the entire field of roses is covered.
There are articles by all types of rosa-
rians, from all sections of the country.
Every use to which the rose is adapted
is covered, by one or more of these
articles. The names of the writers,
such as Van Fleet, Hill, Pyle, Mulford,
Totty, Thomas and Pierson, are of na-
tion-wide celebrity. The book is well
calculated to increase the membership

The National Flower Show.
Charles Henry Fox announces that
the automobile pennants advertising the
National Flower Show are ready for
distribution. Mr. Fox hopes that every
florist who owns an automobile, whether
it be a delivery car or a touring car,
will ask for and use these pennants.
Please write at once to Charles Henry
Fox, 1205 Widener building, Philadel-
phia, asking for these attractive blue
and white pennants for your car or cars.
They are ready now.
Fred Cowperthwaite proposes making
the bureau of information a lively affair
indeed. Mr. Cowperthwaite 's plan is
to have a corps of well informed work-
ers on hand every day and evening
while the show is in progress, ready to
escort and enlighten all visitors who
may so desire. Any florist or gardener
who will aid in the cause by devoting
some of his time to this work is request-
ed to write to Mr, Cowperthwaite, at
1205 Widener building, and apprise him
of the fact.

four principal speakers. Alfalfa and
vetch were strongly urged, as well as
seed selection.
Paul Berkowitz returned from a good
business trip recently and, to quote one
of his friends with a vein of hnmor,
"finding the gunning good, he went
gunning some more."

The Market.
The record for the season would have
been much more satisfactory if the
growers could have shipped to this
market a month ago a part of what they
are shipping now. Except in a few
items, there now seems to be a glut of
stock. Beauties, of course, are far
from being overplentif ul ; the same is
true of valley. Orchids, too, are scarce.
Beauties at present cut no figure in the
market. Other varieties of roses are
much more abundant and are not clear-
ing as well as expected. Carnations
also • are beginning to bunch up in the
wholesale house. Of course there are
more of the red sorts than of any other
color and there is less sale for them.

A large percentage of them are split.
(Jallas and Easter lilies are none too
plentiful yet. Violets are about the
same as last reported. Sweet peas are
in great demand and there is a limited
supply of them. They are used exten-
sively in corsage bouquets.
Snapdragons, calendulas and mignon-
ette are in somewhat small supply.
Daffodils and jonquils are at present the
feature of the market and are clearing
well, considering the abundance of other
stock available. Narcissus poeticus is
plentiful. Tulips are more than ffuf-
ficient in all colors. Roman hyacinths
and freesia are poj^ular, especially the
latter, which is used considerably in
the making up of baskets and table
decorations. Myosotis also is added to
the array of spring flowers. Pussy
willows are in adequate supply. Greens
are sufficient in quantity and continue
to sell easily.

Charles Butt, manager at S. A. An-

considering the small amount of space
they use. Business at his place has
been good.
John Schweichler, of North Tona-

lilies, which will be ready for the mar-
ket about the right date.
Barney Myers, of Lancaster, N. Y.,

too, for another week would have given
us fruit trees in bloom and that would
surely have meant that there would be
no fruit this season. As it is, no harm
was done, though the ground froze an
inch deep last night. The demand for
flowers was sufficiently heavy bo that
there were not enough in the city to
go around and the northern wholesal-
ers were called upon for part of the
stock. Still, increasing quantities of
good stock are coming in. All of the
growers are endeavoring to have every-
thing at its best for the late Easter,
and of course this means that the cut
of roses is smaller at this time. Propa-
gating is going forward rapidly, and
there promise to be some pretty good
stocks of roses, carnations and chrys-
anthemums for the trade this season.
In fact, our growers are doing more
of this kind of business every year.
Dutch bulbous stock has the center
of the stage, as far as pot plants go.
The quality is nothing to brag about,
for the bulbs this year have not pro-
duced as good flowers as they should.
Still, they are selling, and it would be
hard to get along without them at this
time of year. It is pleasing to note
that more of the better varieties of
tulips are grown this spring than usual.
Various Notes.
Haury & Sons had their new store
looking even better than usual last
week. They are offering a nice line
of pot plants and bulbous stock. At
the greenhouses everyone is busy get-
ting ready for the spring trade.
The Joy Floral Co. continues to ar-
range the most attractive windows in
the business district. This week it was
a fancily decorated table, with wed-
ding decorations containing electric
light bulbs. A costumed figure, bor-
rowed from one of the department
stores, completed the picture. They
say business is increasing with the pub-
licity these windows bring.
Mr. Vantil, of Vantil-Hartman, Hol-
land, was in this city last week. He
reports that on the whole the volume
of business in bulbs is fully as good
as that of last year.
Joe Brown seems to be doing an un-
usually heavy business this spring. He
is selling quantities, of treea and
shrubs, as, well as privet for hedges,

There was an abundance of stock last
week at all the wholesale houses and
the prices are gradually declining un-
der the influence of the increasing re-
ceipts. The demand was fair, but could
not consume the daily consignments.
Trade this week should be excellent, as
society is crowding in the social events
before Lent begins. Stock classed as
fancy is of excellent quality and in
large supply. The prices are most rea-
sonable. Boses are on crop and the
supply is greater than at any time
since the first of the year. Beauty,
Hadley, Hoosier Beauty, Sunburst and
Ophelia demand the top prices. Though

jority, they get quicker action in sales
than any of the other varieties, as
there are really three grades in these.
Carnations are excellent and the de-
mand has been strong. The Enchant-
ress varieties have the call. There has
been a large demand for valley, which
was scarce all the week. Violets come
in by the thousands daily. Other sea-
sonable stock, such as daffodils, jon-
quils, tulips. Paper Whites and sweet
peas, have a good call. All greens are
selling well.
Various Notes.
The many friends of Carl W. Garrett,
formerly in charge of the rose gardens
at the Missouri Botanical Garden, will
be pleased to hear that he is now con-
nected with the St. Albans Nursery
Co., at Pacific, Mo., as secretary and
treasurer. He is a member of the St.
Louis Florists' Club.
A. J. Butterfield, of the Farmington
Greenhouses, Farmington, Mo., informs
me that they are building two green-
houses this spring. and that they have
had a busy season, which kept him from
attending some of the club meetings.

William Smith, of the W. C. Smith
Wholesale Floral Co., has bought the
Valentine ^eenhouses and ground on
Dickson street.
Hugo Gross has opened a retail store
on Pennsylvania avenue, and other
growers will soon have to follow suit if
the average prices on cut flowers in the
St. Louis wholesale market do not ad-
vance, for it is impossible to make both
ends meet with the low price of flowers
and the advanced cost of production.
Frederick Hartmann, father of GFeorge
and August Hartmann, two of Bark-
wood's growers, was buried February
20.
F. W. Ude, Jr., is expected back from

The Market.
There was an abundance of stock last
week at all the wholesale houses and
the prices are gradually declining un-
der the influence of the increasing re-
ceipts. The demand was fair, but could
not consume the daily consignments.
Trade this week should be excellent, as
society is crowding in the social events
before Lent begins. Stock classed as
fancy is of excellent quality and in
large supply. The prices are most rea-
sonable. Boses are on crop and the
supply is greater than at any time
since the first of the year. Beauty,
Hadley, Hoosier Beauty, Sunburst and
Ophelia demand the top prices. Though
the various Killarneys are in the ma-

jority, they get quicker action in sales
than any of the other varieties, as
there are really three grades in these.
Carnations are excellent and the de-
mand has been strong. The Enchant-
ress varieties have the call. There htis
been a large demand for valley, which
was scarce all the week. Violets come
in by the thousands daily. Other sea-
sonable stock, such as daffodils, jon-
quils, tuUps, Paper Whites and sweet
peas, have a good call. All greens are
selling well.

The many friends of Carl W. Garrett,
formerly in charge of the rose gardens
at the Missouri Botanical G^den, will
be pleased to hear that he is now con-
nected with the St. Albans Nursery

treasurer. He is a member of the St.

Burlington railroad ticket oflSce. The
location is a good one. Fifteen years
ago Mr. Foster opened for business in
this same store.
The St. Louis county florists who con-
sign to this market, especially the rose
growers, have had a most prosperous
season, with plenty of stock and ex-
cellent prices. We hear of several who
will build a new house or two this
summer.
The Connon Floral Co., of Webster
Groves, has recently been cutting con-
siderable fine bulbous stock, of which
a lot is used for the home trade and
the surplus is marketed by the Smith
Wholesale Floral Co.
L. P. Jensen, gardener at the
Adolphus Busch estate, reports that a
lot of landscape work awaits him at
Sunset Hill and Grandview park, on
the Gravois road, when the weather
conditions are right.
The springlike weather last week
gave a lot of extra good business to
the downtown florists. Kiessen, Grimm
& Gorly, Mullanphy, Foster and Siegel
all say that transient trade was boom-
ing all the week.
Paddy Patton, of Smith's wholesale
house, was asked recently which day
in the week he liked the best. His
answer was this: "Monday is one of
the nicest little days. I like Monday

Frank Farney, traveler for the M.
Rice Co., Philadelphia, spent a week at
the .Teflferson hotel, showing a nice lot
of samples in florists' supplies. Mr.
Farney says when you want news from
home, read The Review.
Charles Young, of C Young & Sons
Co., who selected Washington's birth-
day for his marriage to Miss Katherine
Courtney eight years ago, celebrated
the event last week at his home.
Windier 's Flowers had an attractive
Washington window. Red, white and
blue flowers and ribbons were taste-
fully arranged, with a portrait of
Washington in the center. The display
was exceedingly artistic.
The spring flower show committee
met at Bourdet's, February 24, to ar-
range for an interesting report to be
read at next week's club meeting.
The wholesale houses of Smith and
Berning handled an enormous aggre-
gate of single violets last week. Some
days as many as 150,000 were con-
signed to them by the Kirkwood
growers.
August Hummert, of the St. Louis
Seed Co., says the fine spring weather
last week gave them a few days of
rushing business in seeds and garden
tools and they are looking for this to
be their biggest year.
The meeting of the Florists' Club
and the miscellaneous flower show will

MAINE FLORISTS TO MEET.
The Maine State Florists' Society
will hold its second annual meeting at
Orono, March 8, in connection with
Farmers' Week at the University of
Maine. A short but excellent program
has been prepared and a fine display
of Maine-grown flowers and plants is
expected. The program follows:
President's address, J. H. Stalford, Bar Har-
bor.
Report of the secretary, A. Lurie, Orono.
Report of the treasurer, E. Saunders, Lewis-
ton.
"Forcing Shrubs," by A. E. Thatcher. Bar
Harbor.
"Retailing Flowers," by E. Saunders, Lewis-
ton.
BOSTON.
The Market.
The week ending February 26 was,
on the whole, unsatisfactory as regards
business. The last four days of it were
sunless, and snow or rain fell practi-
cally the whole time. This militated
against sales and, although the dark
weather restricted production, flowers
of nearly all kinds began to accumu-
late. With clearer skies this week,
conditions are a little better, but not
so good as might be wished. The sup-
ply of roses has increased and prices
are lower, except on American Beauties,
which continue scarce with little

change in prices. Eussell, Hadley and
Ophelia bring the best prices among
the hybrid teas and have cleaned up
well, but Killarney, Sunburst, Ward,
Killarney Queen and other varieties are
not cleaning up so well.
Carnations continue abundant and
are low priced. With many growers
there is an unusual proportion of burst
flowers now. Rosette, Pink Delight,
Matchless, Ward, Alice and Benora are
favorites. Violets are not selling well
and are lower in price. Sweet peas,
especially Spencers, are in good de-
mand; so are yellow marguerites and
blue cornflowers. Lilies are in larger
supply, Formosa being the best variety.
Quite a few speciosums also are seen.
Callas are more abundant and lower in
price.
Dutch bulbous flowers are in heavy
supply and harder to move. There still
is a good supply of freesias, which have
been grown cool and are of excellent
quality. Snapdragons are as yet some-
what scarce. There is a better supply
of wallflowers, calendulas, pansies and
forget-me-nots. The last-named flower
now moves slowly. Valley cleans up
fairly well. Cattleyas continue abun-
dant, with only a moderate demand.
Gardenias are more plentiful. Aspara-
gus Sprengeri is quite scarce, but of
A. plumosus there is an adequate sup-
ply.

are seen here in quantity. Standard
rambler roses are good. Pittosporum
Tobira is well liked here as an ever-
green shrub.
At Harry Quint's store business has
picked up wonderfully since flowers
dropped in price. A heavy business is
done here in flowering plants, particu-
larly bulbs in pans. This store is the
only one in Boston that has a lawn in
front, which is neatly planted with
flowers and shrubs, and the curbing is
well utilized for flowering plants,
baskets, etc.
At the busy store of Wax Bros., on
Tremont street, large bouquets of
pansies and violets are a great feature,
as are old-fashioned bouquets. Samuel
Wax says the best selling roses are
Ophelia, Russell and Hadley, while in
carnations Enchantress Supreme,
Matchless, Rosette and White En-
chantress are the leaders. Butterflies
are featured a great deal and large
numbers are sold. Mr. Wax is a great
collector of these and has a splendid
assortment of home and foreign varie-
ties.
At H. R. Comley's store, on Park
street, some flowers can always be
found that are not seen at the other
stores. I noted here strelitzias, cri-
nums, imantophyllums, dimorphothecas,
Spanish iris, colored freesias and ex-
cellent pans of Darwin tulips.
At the Zinn establishment, on Park
street, baskets of bulbous flowers with
pussy willows, polyantha roses, pans of
bulbs, cyclamens and Polypodium
Mandaianum are meeting with an ex-
ceptionally good sale.
At Galvin's new store general busi-
ness is reported good. In addition to
many funeral- orders, they have recently
had some large decorations for balls
and weddings.
The Houghton-Gorney Co., on Tre-
mont street, always keeps its windows
tastefully arranged. Here colored
freesias, cornflowers in various colors,
calendulas and orchids are well fea-
tured.
At Penn's, on Tremont street, I
found the staff busy on funeral work
February 22. For Valentine's day this
progressive firm spent over $1,000 in
advertising violets and their sales of
this flower reached no less than 300,000
blooms. It is worthy of special note
that Penn has now conducted an adver-
tising campaign for Valentine's day
for six years, offering a special heart-
shaped box with a bunch of violets for
$1.50. That this publicity has paid is
evidenced by the increase in sales each
year. The last Valentine's day was a
bad one on which to make deliveries,
for a foot of snow fell the previous
day. Sixty messenger boys were used
in addition to their delivery cars.
Surely, if other concerns would follow
up this advertising regularly, flower

BO years' experience in the flnrist business gwu^ntees
effiHency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed
sales here and elsewhere could be
greatly increased.
J, Newman & Sons, on Tremont
street, one of the old reliable firms,
have had a successful season to date.
They specialize in funeral work and
this branch in itself has shown a great
development of late.
The Boston Cut Flower Co. was busy
preparing for some interior improve-
ments when I called. One of their next
changes will be a tile floor. They re-
port a good volume of business.
The North Beverly Specialist.
A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
is one of our largest and most skillful
carnation specialists. His principal
house is 60x450 and contains 35,000
plants. As a prize-winner at national
and other shows Mr. Pembroke is well
known. It is doubtful if any finer car-
nations are to be found anywhere. All
are as nearly perfect as possible. In
white. Matchless is heavily grown. It
is slow in winter and the flowers now
are more or less colored, but it sells
well and produces heavily later in the
season. One point in its favor is its
fine keeping qualities on the plants
when open. White Wonder is found
to be a splendid winter bloomer, open-
ing up quickly and being always in
crop. Pink Delight and Alice are both
grown in quantity. The last-named
produces more flowers than any other
carnation. Pink Delight here could be
seen with stems from three to three
and one-half feet long. Lady North-
cliflfe, of a beautiful salmon-pink color,
looked fine in one bed, and more will
be planted next season.
In scarlets both Beacon and Cham-
pion now are bursting badly. The
first-named looked the better of the

two. Yellow Prince flowers with won-
derful freedom, but at this season
nearly all flowers burst. Bosette is, in
Mr. Pembroke's estimation, about the
best selling carnation. He has two
beds of 2-year-old plants which quite
discount the 1-year-old stock. Good
Cheer comes more or less off color.
Pink Sensation nets a fancy price, but
needs careful selection to get healthy
stock. Gorgeous has done well here,
but will not be grown after the present
season. Benora rules supreme as a
variegated. A sport here of a better
color than the type and double the
size, with a stout calyx, looks like a
vnnner.
In addition to carnations sweet peas
are grown; also Godfrey callas. The
last-named blooms with wonderful
freedom. No carnation specialist or
lover should fail to call at Mr. Pem-
broke's establishment when in Boston.
The way he grows carnations will be
an eye-opener to many.
Various Notes.
J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, likes
Alice carnation. Other favorites with
him are White Wonder, Beacon and
Benora. He is a great specialist in
yellow marguerites.
William Sim, of Cliftondale, has sev-
eral large houses of Spencer sweet peas,
some of which are now coming into
heavy crop. The quality of the peas

from here needs no mention, as it is
already so well known. Mignonette
from here is fine, also pansies, violets
and polyanthus. Next season carna-
tions and roses will be added to Mr.
Sim's specialties.
Thomas Eoland at his Eevere estab-
lishment is getting splendid cuts of
Ophelia, Bussell, Hadley, Ward, Kil-
larney and White Killarney roses, aver-
aging 5,000 flowers daily. His big
sweet pea house will finish cropping in
a couple of weeks. The sweet peas
will be followed with tomatoes and
later with roses.
C. B. Johnson, of Woburn, is one
carnation specialist who still grows
largely of Carnation Gloriosa and he
now has a grand lot of it. Beacon,
Matchless, Ward, Benora and Pink De-
light are all fine with him now.
James Wheeler, of Natick, hopes to
add a house 30x200, the coming season,
to be devoted to Pink Delight. He
has a fine crop of carnations and yel-
low marguerites.
While the Godfrey calla is steadily
pushing the old calla to the wall.
Lively & Bond, of Holbrook, are get-
ting quantities of grand flowers of the
old variety.
Peirce Bros., of Waltham, are cut-
ting a splendid lot of Ophelia and Kil-
larney Queen roses.
Wm. J. Marshall, of Campello, has
as handsome a lot of Formosa lilies
as I have seen this season. This lily
is decidedly better for cutting than
giganteum.
Arthur Lipman, brother to Moses
Lipman, a salesman in the Boston
Flower Exchange, has opened a flower
store at the corner of West and Wash-
ington streets.
William H. Elliott is cutting extra
fine Ophelia, Sunburst, Geo. Elger and
Irish single roses. He reports that

The seed trade should urge farmers to
test their seed corn just before planting,
as stock of fair germinating qualities in

with the appearance of spring. A failure

DREER'S Extra SoleetaJ SWEET PEAS
We aim to confine our list of Sweet Peas to the very best varieties and only those
which can be used by florists for cutting. We have added a number of the choicest
new varieties of the Spencer type to our list this season.
Orchid -flowered or Spencer Sweet Peas
This type is distinguished from the grandiflora sorts by the extraordinary size of
their flowers and by the standard being crinkled and wavy. They usually bear four
blossoms on a stem, and are as easy to grow as the commonest
sorts. A fair crop the past season enables us to offer them at
prices much lower than ever before.

at 1521 Newberry avenue, on which stands
a four-story brick building occupied by
the Illinois Seed Co. The transfer of
title will entail no immediate change in
the use of the land and, according to the
officers of the seed company, no plans for
the future, relative to a change of loca-
tion, have as yet been formulated.
According to A. H. Smith, of the Leon-
ard Seed Co., Chicago, the onion set sea-
son has opened up much earlier than us-
ual. Yellow and red varieties are bring-
ing $2 per bushel, while whites are bring-
ing from $2.75 to $3 per bushel in large
quantities. He says the orders from the
southern and central states are arriving
in a volume that is ordinarily not ex-
pected until at least thirty days later.
As a result, the office and warehouse em-
ployees of this concern have been work-
ing nights for the last two weeks.
BENNIE'S FIBE LOSS.
Although a loss of possibly as much
as $200,000 was incurred in the fire,
February 20, in the seed establishment
of William Rennie & Co., Toronto, the
concern was fully insured. The dam-
age was principally by water, the loss
on the building being estimated at only
$7,000.
The fire was in the main building of
the firm, at 130 to 136 Adelaide street,
and started at the east end of the top
floor, where the lighter and most valu-
able seeds were carried. The firm's
stock seeds were on this floor, but were
at the extreme west end and were not
damaged. The grass seeds were in the
Lombard street warehouse, separated
by- an alley, and were not damaged.
The fire department extinguished the
flames in an hour, but only by the use
of great quantities of water that
flooded all three floors and basement.
Thomas Rennie stated that the fire,
which resulted from defective electric
wiring, caught them with practically
the maximum stock for the year and
burned or wet many items that it will
be difficult to replace under the exist-
ing state of the market.

In Sutton's Seeds
Are England's
Choicest Novelties
UAD it occurred to you that this year as never
■*• ^ before, people who have seen England's lovely
old gardens are thinking of them and longing for
them as never before?
Other years the annual trip abroad has satisfied
them. This year the war keeps them here, i
It's plain to be seen, then, that the firm who has
England's choice novelties to sell, is going to scoop
in a goodly bundle of new profitable business. Busi-
ness that will give you an entering wedge with a
number of people you have found it hard to reach
before.
In Sutton's l{)0-page Garden Guide you will find
a wonderful collection of England's choicest novel-
ties.
Send ;]5c for Garden Guide. It tells you how to
duplicate our Old English Gardens. With $5.00 pur-
chase of seeds the 35c will be promptly refunded.

The Florists^ Review
March 2, 1916.
chairman of the A. S. T. A. committee
on postal laws, Congressman Tague has
introduced H. E. 11621, as follows:
A BILL
To proTlde for mailing catalogues, circulars, and
so forth, now mailable under eight ounces In
weight at the third-class rate of 1 cent for
two ounces or fraction thereof, at a pound
rate of 8 cents.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled. That on matter em-
braced in the third class, including circulars,
catalogues, pamphlets, price lists, and other
similar matter wholly in print of some form,
upon which the postage is now paid at the
rate of 1 cent for each two ounces or fractional
part thereof, fully prepaid either by postage
stamps affixed or without stamps under a permit
number, the same rate is hereby extended to
apply to the mailing of such printed matter
in bulk, to varying addresses, irrespective of
the individual weight thereof within a linait
of four pounds, without stamps affixed, at 8
cents per pound or fractional part thereof, to
be fully prepaid in similar manner as now by
law provided for the mailing of matter of the
second class; but such pound rate shall apply
only when such printed matter is ofTered in
quantities of one pound or more.
Sec. 2. That this Act shall take effect upon
its passage.
With regard to this Mr. Therkildson
writes: "This bill is identical with
the proposed bill that I submitted to
the A. S. T. A. in feonvention at San
Francisco last summer and which was
endorsed by them. It may be neces-
sary to have some amendments and ad-
justments to this, which would be for
the good of all, but the bill as a whole
will be taken care of, and I now de-
sire your cooperation both in giving
this publicity and writing to your rep-
resentatives and senators to use their
efforts to have the bill passed. It needs
immediate attention on the part of the
members of the A. S. T. A. Its pas-
sage will enable us to make good cata-
logues instead of being penalized as
under the present arrangement."
SEED TRADE IN TENNESSEE.
The seed trade at Nashville has been
good thus far this spring, although not
so good as was expected. The press
and the various farm organizations are
warning the farmers to plant less cot-
ton and to plant widely diversified
crops. The seedsmen feel that this is
bound to make increased business be-
fore the season is over.
Cow peas and soy beans are both in
heavy supply and the prices are the
lowest seen for several years. Farm-
ers are holding onto much of their stock
in hopes of an advance in price, but no
advance is in sight at present. F. B.
FBEIGHT BATE COMPI.AINT.
The Dakota Improved Seed Co., of
Mitchell, S. D., has filed a complaint
with the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion against the rates assessed by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
on the shipment of 196 bags of alfalfa
seed from Mitchell to Olivia, Ortonville
and Montevideo, Minn., of 64 cents, 52
cents and 59 cents, respectively. The
complaints hold 43 cents per Imn-
dred pounds to be the proper rate, this
sum being made up of a combination of
local rates. Refund has been asked in
the amount of the overcharge and the
commissibn is petitioned to establish
a less discriminatory rate on future
shipments. C. L. L.

ty-six orders, slept in six different beds
and Gosh Ding it, I am tired, but I
can't stop; if I do, I'll swim down.
I have asked one man twice a year
to grow 50 lily bulbs a few times a
year to get a start; he tells me each
time, he's thinking about it; he is
over 52 years old now and if he doesn 't
put a push on himself, he'll be growing
lilies for the Angels, by Heck. He
loses, not I. But if he availed himself
of my cheap but valuable advice, he
would be up to the thousand mark by
this time.
Many Florists cannot start out on a
large scale, but each must get a start
some way.
Try a case of 150 bulbs, 50 each,
Album, Auratum and Rubrum, Plant
them RIGHT NOW, in March, have
them in bloom in July and August,
when good flowers are scarce. They
are simply great for funeral work, and
the bulbs give an enormous production.
Album, beautiful white and graceful
flower.
Auratum, large white bloom, gold
banded.
Bubrum, beautiful red and white
spotted flower.
150 fine, large bulbs, $12.50 a case.

BAMBOO CANES
Tall plants ought to be staked.
Blaster Lilies especially should be
supported by a neat green bam-
boo cane. It prevents injury to
the plant and adds to the appear-
ance. A 33^-foot green bamboo
cane costs a trifle over half a
cent, and adds considerable to the
value of a plant tied with it. If
you want your plants to have a
nice appearance, use green bam-
boo canes. Immediate deliveries
at the following prices:

are always useful. Order them

The Rorists' Review
MARca 2, 1919.
Burdell Floral Co., Bowling Green, Ky.—
Wholesale list of young stock of chrysanthe-
mums, roses, verbenas, cannas, geraniums and
other plants, mostly rooted cuttings and 2%-
inch pot plants.
State Nursery Co., Helena, Mont. — A well il-
lustrated catalogue of 128 large pages, listing a
wide range of stock. The first flfty-flve pages
are devoted to two main departments of the
business, plants and nursery stock. Not only
a full line of greenhouse and hardy plants, but
also vegetable plants and garden roots, are In-
cluded. Then follows the cut flower department,
occupying four pages, and leaving a little more
than half of the book for seeds, tools and gen-
eral supplies.
R. H, Bath, Ltd., Wisbech, England— Special
trade list of chrysanthemums, carnations, roses,
dahlias, peonies, pansles, herbaceous plants,
pyrethrums, cannas, etc. ; a compact, accurate
booklet of thirty-two long, narrow pages, in
pocket form.
Willamette Dahlia & Floral Co., Portland,
Ore.— Illustrated catalogue of "True to Name"
dahlias and other stock. Dahlias, being the
company's specialty, occupy about twenty-three
of the total thirty pages, but gladioli, phloxes,
cannas, perennials and annual bedding plants
also are listed.
W. E. King:, Little Silver, N. J.— "King's
Hardy Old-fashioned Flowers," a carefully ar-
ranged, well printed and well illustrated cata-
logue of twenty-six long, narrow pages.
C. E. Vamum, Atco, N. .T. — An illustrated
catalogue of dahlias, cannas, gladioli and gera-
niums; eight pages, bound so as to be folded
in convenient shape for the pocket or pigeon-
hole.
Fraser Nursery Co., Inc., Huntsvllle, Ala. — A
16-page surplus list, "for nurserymen and deal-
ers only," offering extensive lines of nursery
stock, fruit-bearing, nut-bearing and ornamental,
including young stock for transplanting.
The Carmiohael Orchards. Sbannock, R. I.—
An illustrated 6-page folder, containing a list
of gladioli, with cultural directions.
The Imlay Co., Zanesville, O. — Thirty-third
annual catalogue of seeds, bulbs, plants and
general nursery stock; forty-eight compactly
orinted pages, illustrated.
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, 111. — Three cata-
logues, general, wholesale, and "for market
gardeners only." Kaoh book contains 112 pages,
and each gives, first, condensed alphabetical lists
of seeds, tools and general supplies, with the
prices, but with only the briefest possible de-
scriptions. Then follow the Illustrated, descrip-
tive lists, with unusually full and explicit cul-
tural directions. At the end are some tables
of weights and measures, and also a page of
tabulated matter under the head of "Useful
Information."
Burton Seed Co., Denver, Colo. — "Burton's
1916 Seed Book," offering seeds, bulbs, miscel-
laneous plants, vegetable plants and roots, small
fruits, tools, poultry supplies, etc. Enclosed Is
a "Special Quantity Price Sheet."

SEATTLE'S SNOW.
Seattle is known far and wide for
its mild climate; there may be rain at
Seattle, but not much snow. That is,
usually there is little snow. What hap-
pened there recently, therefore, was
something in the nature of a surprise.
In fact, it was without precedent.
Nothing like so heavy a fall of snow
could be recalled, even by the oldest
inhabitants.
The accompanying illustration shows
the greenhouses of Julius Jacobsen al-
most buried from view under "the
beautiful." Mr. Jacobsen carries on
his business under the name of the
Latona Floral Co. Many houses in the
locality collapsed.
But now it's spring at Seattle.
LOS ANaELES.
Tbe Market.
The great number 'of showy spring
flowers now being exhibited in the re-
tailers' windows show what a wonder-
ful variety of stock can be growii out-
doors in this climate during the first
spring days. Tulips are arriving in ex-
cellent shape, even some of the earlier
varieties showing far better stems than
usual. Besides the bulbous and hardy
herbaceous flowers, there is a great va-
riety in the peach, almond and other
shrubs and tree blossoms. Acacia
Baileyana, now getting past its best,
will be followed by A. floribunda and
various eucalypti. All these help the
retailer in making pretty displays,
though the business done in them is not
great.
Boses are greatly improved in quality
and increased in quantity, and some
really excellent Beauties now are arriv-
ing. Prima Donna and September Morn
are both fine, while Hadley, Hoosier
Beauty and the old Mme. Chatenay,
which still is grown by one concern
here, are first-class. Carnations are ex-
cellent, but the price is not as good as
it should be, especially on the splendid
greenhouse-grown stock now being sent
in. Violets are not standing the hot
weather well, losing a good deal of
their fragrance and keeping qualities.
Orchids are in fairly good demand and
some nice Cattleya Trianse are being
shipped in. Phalaenopsis is coming into
use considerably for corsages and other
bouquets. Valley seems to be about
equal to the demand, several small
growers having gone into the growing,
end of late. Their stock, with that
shipped from the north, prevents any
shortage excepting in the case of an
unusual demand. The pretty buds of
Cecile Brunner are coming in, but only
a few as yet. By the time these notes
are read, there will be a big supply.
Sweet peas come in slowly and are not
of particularly good quality. Freesiaa
are holding out well and all classes of
bulbous stock are good. The market
for greens is good and the only short-
It Snowi some Snow when It Snows at Seattle.
age appears to be in Asparagus plum-
osus. Pretty plants of Primula mala-
coides, P. Kewensis and P. obconica
hybrids add to the display.
Various Notes.
John Morley, superintendent of the
parks and exhibition grounds at San
Diego, was in town last week buying
stock for his big charge. It is said
that he is going to plant considerably
of the small baby and polyantha roses
that H. W. Turner is making a specialty
of. Mr. Morley says that business is
keeping up well in San Diego, much
better than could be expected, consider-
ing the flood damage there.
J. M. Grant, late county forester for
Orange county, has had charge of the
planting of the new polytechnic high
school grounds at Santa Ana, and has
achieved considerable success in moving
big stock. Notable in this direction is
the removal for several miles of some
large Cryptomeria elegans, of which he
has not lost two per cent. Mr. Grant
expects to return to Lost Angeles on
the termination of his contract there.
Rather an unusual order was given
to Frank 'Lichtenberg last week. It
was for a blanket of red roses, and Mr.
Lichtenberg used Francis Scott Key
roses. He reports business as record-
breaking, both in funeral work and
decorations.
F. Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
says that they are rushed with busi-

SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
San Francisco is basking in its Febru-
ary summer, and the movement of flow-
ers is heavy. Stores handling seeds,
nursery stock and plants for bedding
are doing a thriving business, rose
plants, pansies and daisies being the
most popular items. Funeral work and
decorations keep up well. For some
reason there was a stronger demand
for roses last week and with no increase
in the supply the market was closely

from some growers, but funeral work
requires all of them. The movement
of violets is heavy, both locally and for
shipment, but there is plenty of fine
stock for everybody. Sweet peas are
almost too scarce to be of commercial
importance. Forget-me-not, stocks,
marigold, etc., are improving steadily.
Phalsenopsis Schilleriana and P. ama-
bilis do well, and cattleyas are plenti-
ful, with many small ones selling at
low prices. Fruit blossoms are seen in
greater variety. Azaleas are rather
slow and plentiful, and it is perhaps
well that few rhododendrons are of-
fered. A few spiraeas are seen, but
they are rather poor as yet; also a
few small hydrangeas. Cinerarias have
sold well, and Primula obconica is popu-
lar. The demand for Boston ferns has
decreased greatly, but small ferns find
a good market, and the call for adian-
tum and asparagus is good.

Newspapers and public-spirited peo-
Ele at Sacramento are doing much to
ring flowers and ornamentals into
greater popularity. An example is the
plan to celebrate the opening of the
Yolo Causeway with a spring festival.

sible, the principal buildings of the

its monthly meeting on the evening of
March 2, and has arranged to have a
social evening, to which the members
of the society are. invited. The meet-
ing will be in Red Men's hall, which is
conveniently located, and, in view of
the enjoyable nature of previous occa-
sions, a large attendance is expected.
H. Plath, proprietor of The Ferneries,
says this year has opened even better
than last year, with an active shipping
business that is steadily growing. He
has cleaned up a large lot of hyacinths,
getting most of them in before the
prices dropped, but he says many of
the tulips are blind. He says that the
primulas this season are unusually good,
and has several houses of them coming
on, while a new shipment of German
primula seed has arrived. For Easter
specialties, Mr. Plath has a few ram-
bler roses and a large crop of Lilium
giganteum.

and this condition Is likely to continue
well into the spring season. Locally
grown A'iolets of excellent quality are
in fairly good supply. Asparagus and
smilax are scarce, with no prospect of
an ample supply for some time. Forced
daffodils are nearly all gone and the
market will have to wait until the out-
door blooms appear. All other bulbous
stock is plentiful and there is some com-
plaint that it is not selling so freely as
usual, especially the potted stock. The
quality of carnations and roses has been
improved by the recent sunshine. Land-
scape gardeners are busy with early
spring work and pruning the wreckage
produced by the ice storm. It is found
that rose bushes were not injured by
the cold and that little damage was
caused to them by breakage. The price
of glass has advanced about fifty per
cent and greenhouse repairs have in-
creased in price to the same extent.
Various Notes.
Another prospective florist arrived
February 9 in the family of A. F. La-
lane.
The Tonseth Floral Co. displayed
some splendid azaleas last week. The
stock was carried over from last year.
Gustav Teufel went to southern Cali-
fornia for the winter. His sons are
managing the greenhouses during his
absence.
H. F. Richards, whose carnation
range is located on the crest of Mount
Tabor, felt the full effect of the cold
east winds that prevailed during the
bad weather. He lost some glass, but
none of his stock was damaged. He
said he was well pleased with his ex-
perience with Herald carnations. They
held their color well and did rot split.
Woolworth's branch 5, 10 and 15-cent

The most of them are of a quality that

William Martin, of Martin & Forbes,
who has personal charge of the firm's

propagating new varieties. For two
years he has developed a sport of Gor-
geous carnation, which has a deep red
color somewhat similar to Champion. A

I am enclosing some diseased buds
from callas. What is the disease and
what is the remedy for it?
J. N.— Mo.
Your callas are badly infested with
thrips. Keep them well syringed and
fumigate them once a week. To help
to get rid of these thrips I would sug-
gest spraying thoroughly with Aphine,
at the rate of one part Aphine to
twenty-five parts water. Use a fine
spray nozzle and repeat the operation
a week later. Feed your plants well
with liquid manure; also top-dress with
fine bone once in ten days. Never al-
low the plants to become dry at the
root. Such plants are always easy
prey for insects. C. W.

read and approved. The report of the
treasurer, showing the finances of the
association to be in first-class condition,

Hardy Pentstemons I
The hardy Pentstemons of the Rocky Mountains =
constitute a most showy genus of American plants, S
nearly unknown to American gardens, but greatly 5
valued by British and Continental horticulturists. =
These plants are hardy and persistent, standing much E
neglect, yet responding in great beauty to a little care and =
attention. The flowers vary greatly in color, period of =
bloom, size and shape. S
From a large list of species we offer the following in =
the belief that all will prove thoroughly satisfactory to s
American gardeners, and be found welcome acquisitions =
to the hardy border: 5
PKIVTSTEMON PALMKRI (Palmer's PentatMnon) (illos- S
trated). A magnificent species indigenous to Vto Great Basin. —
Flowers very large, white, streaked with pink, and having the —
odor of almond blossoms. Highly recommended. —
PKNTSTKMON CYANANTHUS. Flowers brilliant blue in a =
close compact spike. Always in bloom for Decoration Day. ~
You cannot be disappointed with this lovely, easily grown ^
flower. E
PENT8TEMON EATONI (Eaton's Pantstemon). Flowers s
clear scarlet, long, slender, scarcely bilabiate. Planted with —
cyanantbus the contrast is very efifective. I S
PENTSTBMON UTAHENSI8 (ntab's Pentstemon). An ^
enlarged cyanantbus; flowers vary in shade, generally blue. —
Exceedingly hardy and very beautiful. S
PENTSTEMON PARRYI (Parry's Pentstemon). A lovely S
species, having bright pink flowers, delicate and sweet. —
PEITTSTEMON AZUREUS (variety). Flowers violet-helio- S
trope in great masses. When staked, very showy and effective. S
Any of the above, separately or in assortment, tl.50 per doz.; s;
$6.00 per 100, prepaid in the United States. Z
We gather and disseminate from the Rocky Mountains and S
Great Basin hardy perennial flowering plants, trees, shrubs. —
ferns, bulbs, cactuses and seeds. If interested in any plant from —
this region, write us. • S

LANCASTER, PA.
Thursday, February 24, a number of
members of the Beading Florists' Club
visited the Lancaster florists' estab-
lishments. In the party were Fullmer
Lauck, J. Stanley Giles, J. C. Bander,
Fred Frank, Layton Butts, Arthur
Smith, Harry Heck, Ferdinand Heck,
Lee Arnold and Paul Blackman. The
first call was on W. B. Girvin, at Leola.
In the vicinity of Lancaster H. D.
Eohrer, L. S. Landis, the Wheatland
Greenhouse & Aquarium Co., Thomas R.
Fries, B. F. Barr, Albert M. Herr, Ru-
dolph Nagel, Peter Brown and Fred
Ritchey were visited. ' It was a pleas-
ure to have the Reading Florists' Club
members with us and we trust they
will arrange another trip in the near
future.
Mrs. George G. Goldbach has sold
her greenhouses on East Orange street
to Aaron H. Wissler, of Rossmere. Mr.
Wissler has been operating the houses
for some time. The change will take
effect April 1. Mrs. Goldbach will re-
tain the downtown store, continuing
the retail end of the business.
Efforts are being made by the Iris
Club to have Maurice Fuld, of the
Knight & Struck Co., New York, give
an address on "Old-fashioned Gar-
dens."
Thomas R. Fries is cutting choice
bulbous stock. He is an authority on
ferns and his stock is in fine shape.
Walter Mott, representing Ham-
mond's Paint & Slug Shot Works,
Beacon, N. Y., called on the trade last
week.
The Rose Shop opened for business
March 1.
R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md.,
will lecture before the Lancaster County
Florists' Club March 16. He will show
fine views of the Holland bulb fields.
The ladies are invited, and every flo-
rist should make an effort to be
present. H. K. R.
Kalamazoo, Mich. — The Fisher Floral
Co. has been taken over by James and
John W, Jackson.
Moline, HI. — A suit for $20,000 has
been started by J. Staack against the
city for damages by water to his
greenhouses during the heavy rains of
1915. He also has an action pending
against the Tri-City railway for a simi-
lar amount. The drain which the city
installed near the Staack greenhouses
was not large enough to carry away
the water and the overflow went into
the greenhouses.
Our Specialty is
Grafted Roses
WE grow many other young plants for the shipping trade,
but "Grafted Roses " is the specialty. A visit to Crom-
well will prove to you that we can back up our offers
with stock that is of the highest quality. We are growing 700,000
this season, for we know that this year we will see much
replanting that was not done last year. A good part of this
quantity is already sold, and orders have been very gratifying.
If you are going to plant or replant, get in touch with us
now. Give us a chance to give you the best plants that can be
grown. Our prices are graded to suit the quantity, and the
(luality graded to be above competition. Write us now, or, better
still, come and see what we have to offer.

THE BEST RED CARNATION
RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT!
WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS. 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1910. It has never been beaten at any exhibition. The colbr is a most brilliant red. The size of the
flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We vave never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the En-
chantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than' the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the
1st of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
Booted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $32.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively to rooted cuttings.
Orders for Pacific Coast States will please be sent to our Western Branch,

THE THIRD EDITION

'T'HE original Album of Designs 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 Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not
practicable to ihow the customer the finished article as it would be when
ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to
sbow^ the flnlBlied Mrork in beautifully printed pictures. The first
edition sold like hot cakes, and a second edition went quickly. Now a
third edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard
designs and many new^ and heretofore unpublished pieces.

The Florists' Review
March 2, 1016.
FOET WAYNE, IND.
The Market.
Sunshine has increased the supply of
flowers, especially in bulbous stock.
Eoses still are insufficient to meet the
demand. Russell, Shawyer, Sunburst,
Ophelia, Killarney and Richmond pre-
dominate. White roses are hard to
obtain. Carnations are more plentiful,
a large number of buds opening under
the steady sunshine. In bulbous stock,
tulips are great favorites and move
quickly. Poeticus narcissus and jon-
quils are in good demand. JPreesias are
used extensively for corsage work,
while forget-me-nots, primroses, sweet
peas and swainsonas are used in con-
junction with the smaller varieties of
roses, such as Aaron Ward and Sweet-
hea.rt roses, for colonial bouquets,
which are popular now for weddings.
Valley was exceedingly scarce last
week, one florist being able to obtain
only a small quantity of Canadian val-
ley. Violets are plentiful and sell well.
Cattleyas are in good supply and bloom-
ing plants have been selling well since
Valentine's day, the heavy advertis-
iiig evidently being a stimulus to this
line. The growers are busy planning
and preparing for Easter, which re-
quires special forethought this year on
account of its lateness.
Various Notes.
Miss Rhoda Doswell is in St. liouis
this week in the interests of the Dos-
well Floral Co. This concern is whole-
saling some fine single violets and is
cutting a heavy line of bulbous stock,
carnations and sweet peas.
A. J. Lanternier has finished remodel-
ing his store at 1018 Calhoun street.
The store was enlarged and redecorated
and new office fixtures and tables were
installed.
Herbert Zur Muhlen, of the Auger
Flower Shop, discontinued his business
March 1 on account of his inability to
renew his lease.
The Flick Floral Co. had the decora-
tion and bouquets for a large wedding
last week. Southern smilax, roses and
spring flowers were used in great quan-
tities.
W. J. & M. S. Vesey are cutting fine
Shawyer, Ophelia and Sunburst roses,
but have not nearly enough of them
to supply the heavy demand. A large
shipment of orchid plants was received
by this firm last week.
Visitors to the trade last week were

EVANSVILLE, IND.
The Market.
With fine, springlike weather last
week, and business exceedingly good,
everybody seemed satisfied. Consider-
able funeral work was done and a
large number of spring plants were
sold, to be used for birthday occasions
or sent to the sick.
Probably the greatest opening in
which the florists here ever had a share
was the opening of the new lO-story
Citizens' National Bank building, situ-
ated at Fourth and Main streets. The
opening was held on Washington's
birthday. Thousands of people passed
through the building and up to the roof
to get their first bird's-eye view of the
city. The banking rooms were pro-
fusely decorated with pot plants and
baskets of cut flowers.
Various Notes.
Julius Niednagel & Sons enjoyed a
big week. They had large cuts of roses
a»d carnations, which were cleaned out.
- They had a big demand for cut flowers
^^and pot plants for the opening of the
''Citizens' National Bank.
^ C. L. Niednagel has been cutting a
. fine lot of Russell, Killarney and
Milady roses. He has added a small
house, to be used for propagating and
growing on small rose plants.
The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had
charge of the decorating for the open-
ing of the Citizens' National Bank and
also furnished about forty baskets of
cut flowers sent by friends of the bank.
Their cut of roses and carnations is
extra good and they find sale for all
of it.
J. C. Elspermann has been unusually
busy of late. He has had a large
amount of funeral work and is dispos-
ing of a lot of pot plants.
Karl Zeidler is having plenty to do,
with the funeral work and the spring
work together.
Royston & Fenton say that indica-
tions are for a busy spring.
The next meeting of the Florists*
Club will be held Wednesday evening,
March 8, at Louis Fritsch's residence.

: Dear Sir: We thought it might be interesting to you to receive a report of your S
Z new carnation "ALICE," as grown in this territory. "ALICE" has made a wonderful S
Z showing with us. We are growing some twenty different varieties of carnations. To S
Z date we have cut more blooms per plant from "ALICE" than from any of the other S
S varieties. The blooms come almost 100 per cent perfect. This carnation has proved S
Z all that you claimed for it. and we do not hesitate to say that we believe this variety S
S to be the very best carnation of its dolor being offered the Trade today. S
: You are to be congratulated on "ALICE." Very truly yours. S

PROVIDENCE.
The MArket.
Washington's birthday brought a
heavy demand for cut flowers and deco-
rations. Clouds prevailed during the
week and somewhat checked the sup-
ply, roses continuing to be short in this
market. Carnations are in larger sup-
ply than during previous weeks and the
receipts of bulbous stock are heavier.
Various Notes.
W. N. Craig, of Brookline, Mass.,
president of the National Association
of Gardeners, will speak at Manning
hall, Brown University, March 3, on
"Beautifying the Home Grounds."

Raphael Chambers, of Pawtucket,
has entered suit in the Superior court
against Charles iLapham, of Pawtucket,
to recover $3,500, which he alleges is
due him from Mr. Lapham as a result
of the partnership transactions between
them. According to Mr. Chambers, the
partnership was formed October 1, 1914,
and continued for about nine months,
as florists. After the dissolution an ac-
counting, it is alleged, showed that
Mr. Chambers was entitled to $3,500.
Joseph Lewis, of Tiverton, is receiv-
ing congratulations from his numerous
friends on the arrival of a son, Febru-
ary 20.

The Market.
February was a peculiar month as
far as weather was concerned. Valen-
tine's day the weather was so bad that
one could scarcely venture out. We
did not have one good Saturday during
the month, but February nevertheless
will go on record as the best February
of years.
Last week stock of all kinds was
plentiful and cleaned up nicely. Vio-
lets and bulbous stock seemed to fare
the worst in regard to prices. There
were no Beauties worth mentioning, but
all other kinds of stock did well. The
wholesale houses seem busy and clean
up fairly well each day, with little
left over for the street boys.
Various Notes.
March 6 is the date of the next club
meeting, at Fort Pitt hotel.
There is much talk about the Phila-
delphia National Flower Show. It ap-
pears as if everyone is going to see -the
"best show ever," according to the
Philadelphians.
De Forest Ludwig, who has been
seriously ill for some time, is recovering
slowly.
Miss Jane McDowell, of Steubenville,
O., is taking a much needed vacation.
Miss Agnes Wells taking charge during
her absence.
The department stores are all han-
dling arrangements of artificial flowers
and seem to be doing a nice business.
I wondtjr if the florists are not missing
an opportunity. The florist should know
how to sell them. Clarke.
Rochester, Minn. — A downtown store
has been opened by the Rochester Flo-
ral Co. The store at the former loca-
tion, which was damaged by fire, has
been discontinued.
Ottawa, Kan. — "Business during De-
cember and January was splendid, the
demand exceeding the supply, but coal
has been hard to buy," says B. Rom-
stadt, in speaking of conditions in east-
ern Kansas.
Minot, N. D. — According to George
E. Valker, of Valker's Minot Green-
houses, business in northwestern North
Dakota since January 1 has been rath-
er quiet, largely on account of the
severe snow storm and poor transpor-
tation. Mr. Valker says that during
the last seven weeks $400 worth of coal
per week has been consumed.

The Market.
Business last week was fair. The
general supply is not quite so large as
it was, but it is sufficient for present
requirements. Shipping business is
good. Boses now are arriving more
freely than for some time, including
good Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty and
Shawyer. Long-stemmed American
Beauties are exceedingly scarce, but of-
ferings in short ones are large and
good. The carnation supply is shorten-
ing somewhat. Easter lUies continue to
be plentiful. Small bulbous stock, in-
cluding tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and
jonquils, is of fair quality and sufficient
for present demands. Sweet peas have
a large sale. Violets, valley and or-
chids are plentiful. Other offerings in-
clude callas, rubrum lilies and snap-
dragon. Greens are plentiful.
Various Notes.
Theodore Cobb, of D. M. Ferry & Co.,
Detroit, Mich., entertained customers
and friends at a dinner at the Cuvier-
Press Club February 23. Mr. Cobb
gave an interesting talk on the 700-
acre trial farm of the company near
Detroit. Messrs. Charles Weber, Pyles
and A. J. Shoemaker responded to
toasts. It was decided to form a social
club for seedsmen of Cincinnati and
vicinity.
C. E. Critchell has been having a
good call for the Butterfly sweet peas
he has been receiving.
The Shoemaker Seed Co. has re-
moved to its new store at 441 Main
street. The principal business is in re-
tail seeds, nursery stock, shrubbery and
landscape work.
Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., have
been shipping excellent Ophelia, Hoosier
Beauty and Shawyer roses to L. H.
Kyrk.
The death of Max Rudolph, which
occurred February 22, is recorded in
this week's obituary column.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free' use of dirt bands for the grow-
ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new READY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not how
cheap, but how good, is our motto.

Greenhoose Heating.
SUBSCSIBEES are invited to write tho
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-
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.
COAL IN SPECIAL CARS.
Modern greenhouse establishments
are equipped with sidetracks to the coal
shed, to do away with cartage, and
many of them have elevated tracks, so
that the coal can be dumped and wilf
move into the bunkers by gravity, do-
ing away with much heavy labor. But
to work the dumping act the coal must
be loaded in a hopper-bottomed car.
And now, seeing a chance for a few
extra dollars on top of a freight rate on
smokeless to Chicago nearly double the
value of the coal at the West Virginia
mines, the railroads will make an extra
charge of 15 cents per ton in cases
where the consignee specifies the special
kind of car he wants the coal loaded
in. Of rourse, if one does not so
specify, it may come in a hopper-bot-
tomed car anyway, but the charge ap-
plies as well to the man who specifies
that hopper-bottomed cars be not used!
FLOW PIPE IS TOO SMALL.
My greenhouses are piped for hot
water heat. The main house is 17x65
and is exposed on both sides. The walls
contain two feet of glass and three feet
four inches of double board siding, with
paper lining between. The front gable
is exposed; the other gable is protected
by the boiler room and workshop. The
boiler, which is a 6-section Lord & Burn-
ham, stands three and one-half feet be-
low the floor of the workshop. A 2-
inch flow runs to the front of the green-
house. This pipe hangs about five inches
below the purlin and slopes slightly to
the front. It is connected with twelve
1^-inch return pipes, six on each side
of the house, under the benches. The
water in the l^^i-inch pipes runs back
into a 2-inch main return at the rear
of the house.
I also have a glass-covered room,
10x18, located between the greenhouse
and the barn. The pipe used in this
room is all 2-inch. I also have a lean-to
house, 10x17, which contains a 2-inch
flow and six 2-inch returns.
I find it necessary to fire the boiler

endeavoring to supply even the present
amount of radiation by means of a
2-inch main flow pipe. We would sug-
gest the sul>stitution of two 2^-inch
flow pipes for the single 2-inch' flow now
in use. Even this will not bring the
radiation up to what is needed for the
highest efficiency, but will probably
answer with careful attention to firing
in severe weather. The main returns
should be of the same size as the main
flow pipes.
The lean-to house seems to have an
ample amount of radiation and if it is
not giving good results it is evidently
due to some defect in the arrangement
of the system. To get the best results
in the covered room, 10x18, about fifty
additional feet of pipe are needed.

Mabch 2, 1916.
BOCHESTEB, N. T.
The Market.
The report of the week shows that
business was fair. . For Washington's
birthday trade there was plenty of
stock and every florist was busy for the
occasion. Toward the end of the week
business dropped oflF a little. Prices re-
main about as usual. The supply of
roses meets all demands, but, as usual,
the short-stemmed stock is not plentiful
and the demand for it is large. There
appears to be a steady call for the
better grades of roses. The red vari-
eties sold well last week. Carnations
are plentiful and range in price from $2
to $3 per hundred. There is a good
supply of callas daily, but Easter lilies
are not so far advanced. Valley is of
good quality and there is a fair demand
for it, even at the advanced price of $5
per hundred. Orchids are not over-
plentiful, but they meet the demand.
Cut bulbous stock is plentiful and used
considerably in funeral work. Tulips
in white and yellow. Paper Whites, Bo-
man hyacinths ^md single and double
daffodils sell well. Violets are good
and are disposed of fairly well. Sweet
peas are used more for corsage work
and good stock is seen in pink, white
and lavender. Lilacs move slowly. Ca-
lendulas sell fairly well, but the demand
is not large. Pussy willows sell easily
and are a great attraction. Greenery
of all kinds is scarce. Blossoming plants
sell splendidly.
Various Notes.
John Dunbar, assistant superintend-
ent of parks, was a recent visitor to
St. Thomas, Out, where he addressed
the St. Thomas Horticultural Society
on "The Influence of Public Parks on
Civic Life."
H. E. Wilson reports a good business
on Washington's birthday. Booming
plants sold nicely during the week and
there was a large quantity of funeral
work.
W. A. Elder, of the Lord & Bum-
ham Co. Rochester office, has returned
from the Boston office and will be, as
formerly, with the Rochester branch.
He is on a business trip through west-
ern New York.
The Rochester Floral Co. reports good
business during the last few weeks.
This company is advertising the dollar
box of flowers as a Saturday special.
The plan brings good results.
The Lord & Burnham Co., H. E. Bates
manager of the Rochester branch, re-
ports unusual business along all lines
during the last several months. In-
quiries for big houses greatly exceed
those of last year.
George Hampton, of the J. G. Neid-
inger Co., Philadelphia, was a recent
visitor.
George T. Boucher reports business
as being brisk. He has been busy of
late with several decorations. At the
forthcoming police ball Mr. Boucher ex-
pects to use 1,000 palms and potted
plants, and about twenty-five cases of
wild smilax. H. J. H.

The Market.
The condition of the market has
changed considerably. Cut flowers are
plentiful; in fact, the supply far ex-
ceeds the demand. Business last week
was good. Eoses are plentiful and
some varieties are being sold as low as
$4 per hundred. There was a heavy
demand for tulips and jonquils. A
glut of bulbous stock is expected this
week. Freesias are gaining in favor,
especially for use in boxes of cut flow-
ers. Sweet peas are of excellent qual-
ity, but the supply is too large for
market needs. The same may be said
of violets. Some fine double violets
were sold at an extremely low price
February 26. Carnations of every color
are in large supply. Prices on these
have declined. Although Easter lilies
are plentiful, they still bring a fair
price. Snapdragons and other miscel-
laneous stock are in heavy supply.
Paper Whites are clearing well, but the
supply is somewhat small.
Various Notes.
The W. L. Rock Flower Co. displayed
some well grown bougainvilleas last
week. Butterfly sweet peas arranged
in different styles were a feature of the
window display. This concern reports
a heavy run of funeral work.
A. F. Barbe will start the erection
of his new range of houses March 10.
He now is busy filling his old houses
with spring stock.
The Eosery is showing some espe-
cially well grown bulbous stock in pans,
of which a large quantity is being
sold.
W. J. Barnes has excellent rhododen-
drons, cinerarias and spirseas in bloom
and finds a ready sale for this kind of
stock.
Mrs. R. E. Everett, of Pawhuska,
Okla., was here last week buying sup-
plies. She reports business satisfac-
tory.
The Alpha Floral Co. last week was
busy both day and night on funeral
orders. A large order for wirework was
placed by this company with a local
wholesale house.
Biedermann & Son are busy filling
their greenhouses with spring stock.
They report business good,
T. J. Noll & Co. report stock of all
kinds plentiful. The demand for sup-
plies has increased so fast that addi-
tions to the force were necessary,
Arthur Newell reports the best week
of funeral work he has had since he
started in business.
Mr. Nugent, of the Stuppy Floral
Co., St. Joseph, Mo., was a visitor last

MOLINE, ILL.
A special meeting of the Tri-City Flo-
rists' Club was held at Turner hall,
Moline, 111., with only one member ab-
sent. The good attendance, no doubt,
was due to the near approach of the
annual meeting of the Illinois State
Florists' Association, which will be
held March 7 and 8. A. Anderson, a
recent benedict, received the hearty
congratulations of the members present.
Harry Bills, president, called the
meeting to order, and, in addition to
other business connected with the state
meeting, the entertainment committee
outlined a sight-seeing trip in automo-
biles, for those in attendance at the
annual meeting. The trip will include
points of interest in Moline, the Gov-
ernment island if permit can be ob-
tained, Davenport, Davis Garden, Bet-
tendorf and Eock Island, where lunch
will be served at Ludwig Stapp's place;
then back to Moline, including stops at
the various parks and greenhouses.
Two new members, J. W. Davis and
Frank Davis, were elected to member-
ship. The following committee was
appointed to meet visitors at the 1:50
p. m. Bock Island train: A. Anderson,
Wm. Knees, Sr., Ludwig Stapp, H.

Garland gutters that were put up unpainted 20 years ago are as good as
new today (we can prove this) and are good for 100 years more.
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago's largest growers, are using 14 miles of Gar-
land gutters and will use no other. Altogether we have hundreds of miles
of our gutters in commercial ranges all over the country and can refer you
to the owners.

NEWARK, N. J.
The Market.
Business was quiet in Newark last
week. There was considerable funeral
work, a few decorations and some ex-
tra business Washington's birthday,
but the volume was not as large as it
should have been at this time of the
year. On the other hand, business was
not dull. Bulbous stock is plentiful
and reasonable in price. Its abundance
has forced the prices of other flowers
down to some extent, though the lower
price for carnations is due to the fact
that they are now more plentiful.
Roses remain the same. Valley is of
good quality and lower in price than
it was. Orchids continue to be cheap
and tulips are quite popular. Pussy
willows are arriving in large quantities
and are used in window displays.
Various Notes.
Ladies' night was observed by the
Essex County Florists' Club at the
February meeting. There was a large
number present and everyone had a
most enjoyable time. There was an
interesting entertainment by three pro-
fessionals, followed by a social hour.
The committee in charge consisted of
Richard Youell, chairman; J. McLaugh-
lin, J. Pfeufer and G. Davies. No busi-
ness session was held.
McLaughlin & Murphy have been un-
usually busy since the first of the year,
the volume of trade exceeding that of
the corresponding period of last year.
.This firm furnished some of the deco-
rative material for the auto show.
George Muller reports business as
fair. He has had considerable funeral
work during the last few weeks.

The entertainment committee of the
Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural
Society deserves great credit for the
splendid entertainment and dance fur-
nished the society Wednesday evening,
February 16, at the Town hall, Green-
wich, Conn. A minstrel troupe of
twenty performers kept the party in
good humor for about two hours. The
members, their families, friends and a
large representation of the seed and
nursery trades filled the spacious hall.
While the floor was being cleared for
dancing a splendid buffet lunch was
served. The dances, both old and new,
kept everybody going until 1 a. m.

MUNOIE, IND.
Tlie Kiverside Floral Co. had one of
its boilers give out during the recent
cold snap, the temperature of the houses
dropping to the freezing point, but lit-
tle stock was damaged. This concern
is giving more space to bedding plants
this season, geraniums heading the list.
There is a fine lot of well done cycla-
mens and the carnations are above the
average, some fine blooms with 3-foot
stems being cut. Mr. Stakemper, the
grower, has the place in good condition
and it shows his ability as a grower of
first-class stock.
Henry Patompkie, the seedling spe-
cialist, reports a big demand for salvias,
verbenas and pansies. His stock is in
fine shape.
C. Baker, who has charge of the
Miller greenhouses, has a big demand
for the newer varieties of pelargoniums.
He has a fine lot of them in 3-inch and
4-inch pots for the store trade. The
bedding stock at the Madison street
greenhouses is in good shape.
Miss Helen Longfellow, who has been
with the Williams & Clark Floral Co.,
went to Oregon to visit her mother. It
is rumored that she is to become the
bride of a U. S. navy officer. The men
at the store report satisfactory busi-
ness. Funeral work has been heavy.
If one of our girls is missing in the
near future we shall conclude that the
young Austro-German has found his
ad for a wife in The Review success-
ful. The Review brings results!

PAPER WHITES FOB CHRISTMAS.
Will you please tell me how long the
bulbs of Paper White narcissi should
be in the ground before they are
forced? When should the bulbs be put
into the ground to be forced for
Christmas? When should they be
brought to the heat, and what tempera-
ture is required? Can the bulbs be
planted in a solid bed and the house be
kept cool and dark until heat is wanted,
or should the bulbs be put in trays?
W. H. F.— Pa.
Paper White narcissus bulbs usually
arrive about the last of August, and
the best policy is to place them in flats
at once, rather than leave them lying
around in bags or boxes. After placing
them in flats you can either stand them
on the floor of a cold, frost-proof cellar
or keep them outdoors, covering the
flats with two or three inches of sand.
The sand is preferable to coal ashes,
as its weight prevents the roots from
heaving the soil.
It is a comparatively simple matter
to flower Paper Whites for Christmas.
They may be had as early as the first
week in November. If growth is well
started, four weeks in an average night
temperature of 60 degrees will suffice
to flower them for Christmas. They re-
quire less time as the season advances.
You can, if you prefer, plant the bulbs
in solid beds. The trouble with this
method of culture is that unless you
make different plantings the bulbs will
all flower together and, as has already
been said, the shorter time the bulbs
are out of the soil the better results
they will give. C. W.
TRY BEGONIA VERNON, WHITE.
We have a fountain with a concrete
circular wall about twelve inches high.
What kind of a bedding plant having
white flowers nearly all the time can
we plant around this wall? We had
this same order last year and we used
sweet alyssum, but it did not grow
high enough. S. B. — N. Y.
Begonia Vernon, white, growing
twelve inches high, is a persistent
bloomer; so is B. gracilis, white. Vinca
rosea alba is another continuous bloom-
er. Others are white verbenas and
white petunias. C. W.

ILLINOIS FLORISTS
VISIT TRI-CITIES
I'PViiiiiiiimiiiy
L^'i
For the first time in its eleven years of active life the Illinois State
Florists' Association this week met at Moline, one of the famous Tri^Cities.^j,^
on the Mississippi. Many activities planned, including a show at Blooming- .,,>
ton and a meeting at Urhana.. ' ' !•:,. *V^',;- '
T is «loiubtful if any con-
vention of the Illinois
State Florists ' Associa-
tion was ever attended by
a more alert and enthusi-
astic body of tradesmen
than that called to order
by President Johnson at
2 p. m., March 7, in the
Turner hall at Moline, 111.
It is probable there have been larger
state gatherings, but more aggressively
progressive — never.- Both the business
session and the banquet were conducted
with a gusto that added much to the
general success of the meeting. It was
noted that a considerable part of the
attendance was from Chicago, although
a special effort is made to secure the
active participation
of florists from all
parts of the state.
As many of the
florists were late, the
session was opened in
the exhibition hall.
After the address of
welcome by Martin
R. Carlson, mayor of
Moline, I. L. Pills-
bury, vice - president
of the association, re-
plied on behalf of
the florists. This was
followed by the pres-
entation of the offi-
cers ' reports, which
are printed in this
issue of The Review.
The books of the sec-
retary and treasurer
were approved by the
auditing committee,
consisting of A. C,
Kohlbrand, I. L.
Pillsbury and John
Staack.
The suggestion
made last year that
two meetings a year
be held was again
brought up. It ap-
peared to be the pop-
ular will that a No-
vember show be held
in Bloomington and a
spring convention be
held in Urbana. The
matter was not de-
cided, however, but
referred to the execu-
tive committee for
action,

tion of the American Carnation Soci-
ety, to be held at Indianapolis next
January. Secretary Ammann, presi-
dent-elect of the American Carnation
Society, talked briefly on the work of
that society and urged the Illinois
growers to make an effort to show the
world what Illinois carnation growers
really can do when they try.
Election of Officers.
There could be no more eloquent
commentary on the work of the asso-
ciation's officers during the last year
than the action of the organization in
the matter of selecting its leaders for
the ensuing year. President, first vice-
president, secretary and treasurer were
unanimously reelected.
The committee on
the president's ad-
dress made a report
during the evening
approving the recom-
mendations contained
therein. The com-
mittee consisted of
George Asmus, C. L.
Washburn and H. B.
Dorner.
W. J. Keimel, Allie
Zech and George Ja-
cobs, constituting a
committee on the sec-
retary's report, ap-
proved of the recom-
mendations of the
secretary as to life
membership.
Unfortunately, G.
L. Peltier, of Urbana,
was unable to be
present. His report
on pathological work
was read by E. iLau-
terbach, of the De-
partment of Floricul-
ture of the Univer-
sity of Illinois. This
paper and the one
read by F. W. Mun-
cie, of Urbana, on
fertilizer work were
productive of a most
interesting discus-
sion, during which
the question of rust
on snapdragons came
in for a fair share of
attention.

Over 100 florists

down in the evening at the tables in
the large banquet hall of the Moline
Commercial Club. • After a most satis-
fying repast, the company was re-
galed with a paper on Christmas and
Easter flowering and foliage plants,
read by W. E. Tricker, of Western
Springs. The banqueters showed their
appreciation by a rising vote of thanks.
Then came a treat in the form of a
serenade by a local glee club.
Prof. Dorner's talks are always most
welcome, and his remarks on what the
Division of Floriculture is doing were
received with close attention. He
spoke briefly of the development of the
floricultural department of the uni-
versity and otHhe instructional meth-
ods. There are now twenty-three
undergraduate And twp gfaduat^ stu-
dents in his departoienl, andi'iifiven
will receive their degrees .thip year.
W. K. Palmer, a graduate^ of 1913,
is now in charge of the greenhouses and
is also doing instructional work. E.
Lauterbach is assisting G. L. Peltier in
plant pathology.
The talk by W. E. Taylor, M. D.,
o'clock and proceeded on a motor tour
of inspection through the three cities.
The Exhibits.
It was generally agreed that the flis-
play this year was fully equal to that
of former years, and though not large,
it made up in variety and excellence
whatever it lacked in size. The dis-
play of blooming plants and novelties
was particularly striking.
The judges were C. Loveridge, of
Peoria, H. E. Smith, of Danville, and
J. S. Wilson, of Des Moines, who re-
ported on the exhibits during the course
of the evening and made the following
awards:
Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, staged
an excellent exhibit of Ophelia^ Sun-
burst and Shawyer roses. A large vase
of their carnation^' Belle Washburn, oc-
cupied a prominent place in the ex-
hibit. They also sent a vase of calen-
dulas, several vases of fancy sweet peas
and a number of young grafted rose
plants and Belle Washburn cuttings in
3-inch pots.
J. Staack & Sons, Moline, showed
Frank L. Washburn.
(Treasnrer of the Illinois State FlorisU* Asaociation.)
proved to be one of the most enter-
taining features of the evening. He
declined to confine himself to the topic
assigned and indulged in highly inter-
esting bits of florist and floricultural
history. His talk throughout was in-
terspersed with wit and humor.
Before closing the evening session,

SECEETABY'S REPORT.
'^n*"- "^P"""* o' J- F- Ammann. secretary of
■•■ Minois State Florists' Association, presented
• I'o convention at Moline. March 7.]
Your secretary is pleased to report
'^ addition of eight annual members
; 'fl one life member during 1915. The
■^tter of unpaid dues is of such im-
rtance that I feel something should
done about it. Our constitution
es not provide for the suspension of
y member for nonpayment of dues,
. ^ ao I recommend any such provision.
■ iieu of it I would suggest the elimi-
lon of annual membership dues, and
^^tead amend the constitution so as
" "ave two classes of paying members
r^^ .^°"^.have, except that the mem-
tiiv -xi.'"^ ^^^^ ^® associate members

Ml",:
J. ¥. Ammana.
(Secretary Illinois State Florlsta' Association.)
the sum of $10 as dues shall be made
active life members. This would elimi-
nate the bother of collecting annual
dues. The interest from a life mem-
bership fund and the associate member-
ship dues would pay the running ex-
penses of the association. I recommend
this for your earnest consideration.
Three members preceded us into the
great beyond last year, D. U. Aug-
spurger, of Peoria; Albert C. Kott, of
Joliet, and John Zech, of Chicago. May
those bereaved by their passing find
solace in the words of our great Com-
forter.

COCHRANE 'S NEW STORE.
iThe accompanying illustration affords
a view in the newly equipped store of
J. M. Cochrane, in West Pullman, a
suburb of Chicago. Mr. Cochrane has
done a successful business in the town
for a' number of years, at first under
the name of Cochrane & McKay, but
the partnership was dissolved in 1910.
Two new greenhouses were built that
season and sales have increased stead-
ily until now two stores are operated,
one at 434 West One Hundred and
Nineteenth street, the other at 1140;)
Michigan avenue, retailing the pot
plant output of the greenhouses and
much cut stock from the Chicago mar-
ket. The new equipment complete was
installed by the store fixtures depart-
ment of the A. L. Randall Co., being
built to order.
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
;(The address of C. W. Jobnsou, president of
the Illinois State Florists' Association, at tlie
cohvontlon at Moline, March 7.]
We now are assembled for our
<?leventh annual convention and ex-
hibition. At the annual meeting held
a year ago at Urbana, 111., it was pro-
posed that we hold two meetings each
year — a fall meeting at the Illinois
State Floricultural Experimental Sta-
tion, Urbana, and the annual meeting
and exhibition in March at some other
point in the state, to be designated
«ach year. It also was decided at that
time to accept the invitation of the
Tri-City Florists' Club and meet with
them in Moline at this time. Your
executive committee held a session in
Peoria August 31, 1915, at which time
the secretary reported he was informed
by the officials in charge of the ex-
perimental station that the month of
March was the most suitslble time for
our association to meet with them, so
the fall meeting of 1915 was dropped
and the committee decided to go ahead
with this meeting, as proposed, and in-
vite the Iowa florists to meet with us.
I am sure that we all recognize the
good work that is being done at the
experimental station and the personal
interest it should have for every mem-
ber, but I do not believe that the best
interests of the association can be
served by localizing our annual meet-
ing at any one particular point. I
therefore suggest to you the careful
consideration of this matter. This is
the first time that we have met in the
far western part of the state and I
feel sure that the association will
greatly profit by it, and that every
member will be benefited beyond
measure for any sacrifice he has under-
taken to attend this meeting. It will
enable us to become .acquainted with
the florists of this part of the state,
as well as with those from our neighbor
state of Iowa.
Researcli Work.
I know that you will agree with n^e
in saying 'that a good program has
been arranged for our benefit. After
the reports of the officers of the asso-
ciation have been given, Prof. F. W.
Muncie will report on the work on
fertilizers, which has been carried out
at the experimental station, and Prof.
G. L. Peltier will report on the patho-
logical work. I doubt if many of us
fully appreciate what is being done to
solve some of the problems along these
lines. They are of great importance
and will continue to become more so
as the time goes by. Investigation
and research of this character require
time to arrive at any definite results,
such as it would be safe to advise
the average florist to follow, but I
firmly believe that the different lines
of work now being carried out by these
gentlemen are going to be of the great-
est value not only to the florists of
this state, but also to those who live
in other parts of the country. There-
fore, permit me to ask of each mem-
ber his earnest thought and considera-
tion of the reports presented by Pro-
fessors Muncie and Peltier.
Three Interesting Papers.
"Christmas and Easter Flowering
Newly Fitted Up Store of J. M. Cochran, Weak PuUmaot IlL
and Foliage Plants" is the topic of a
paper to be read by W. E. Tricker,
of Western Springs, 111., and I feel sure
it will be listened to with the greatest
of interest by everyone present. A
new era appears to have been opened
up for these plants, the demand at the
holidays for first-class stock being
greater than the supply, and I know
that Mr. Tricker will give us many
helpful pointers on the growing of
these plants.
Prof. H. B. Dorner is to speak to us
on what the division of floriculture is
doing at Urbana. Prof. Dorner in-
forms me that there; are more students
taking up the study of floriculture than
at any other time. . I have had the
privilege of having Some of these stu-
dents work with me during the sum-
mer months, and have found them to
be clean-cut, earnest young men, and
the question that presents itself to me
is: "How are these young men going
to be received by the trade after they
are through with their studies f Will
they receive salaries commensurate
with the study they have put in and
thus make their efforts worth while?"
These young men, trained to the con-
ditions of this country, surely ought to
be able to show better results than
men of more mature years who have
not had the same advantages.
A talk on "Soils" by Dr. W. E.
Taylor, of Urbana, should prove of
special interest to all growers, and I
would urge that every member enter
into the spirit of the meeting, take
part in the discussion and give us the
benefit of his experiences.
Unpaid Dues and Affiliation.
Just a few words for the good of
the association. The first matter is the
nonpayment of dues. The secretary
advises me that he is at his wit's end
to find a way to induce the members
to pay their dues -Regularly. It cer-
tainly cannot be the^annual amount of
$1 that is standing" in the way; it
seems simply to be "neglect on the part
of the members to attend to the mat-
ter on time. I aip:' not sure whether
our association is eligible to affiliate
with the Society .of American Florists
under its rule of 100 paid-up S, A. F.
members, and I Would suggest that
the secretary take the matter up with
Secretary John Young of the S. A. F.
To my mind a representative from
every state society, on the board of
directors of the natidtnal society would
be an ideal arrangement. If it can be
done, let our association be one of the
first.
As a state association I believe our
work should cover a more extended
field than the florists' clubs of the
cities, and that we should aim to get
into close relations with the commer-
cial bodies of the state. Permit me,
therefore, to suggest that a committee
be appointed to bring this about. Also
permit me to suggest that a certiflcatc
of membership be prepared, signed by
the president and secretary, and given
to each member to hang in his plao
of business. There is a growing in-
terest among improvement societies and
women's clubs throughout the state
in holding local flower shows during tho
summer months, and I believe that we,
as an association, could help in this
work by contributing a display througli
our membership and assisting in the
judging of the exhibits.

The Carnation Shortage.
The wet summer of 1915 was a bad
season for the carnation plants in the
field, and to it can be traced, to a
great extent, the reason of the short
supply of carnation blooms during the
winter, but it would seem that growers
are not watchful enough of their plants
and fail to govern themselves accord-
ing to the conditions of the weather.
The grower who brought in his carna-
tion plants early and thus saved them
from much of the wet weather, has been
well repaid by being able to supply
a good lot of flowers at a high price.
I wish that every member would feel
liimself duty-bound to give us his views
on any subject for the good of the
dissociation and our work. I wish to
thank the secretary for his work dur-
ing the last year and the local commit-
tees and members of the Tri-City Flo-
rists' Club, who have done much to
malce this convention and exhibition a
success. As a closing word of appreci-
ation to my fellow members of the
Illinois State Florists' Association, I
thank you for your confidence and pres-
ence here and trust that our associa-
tion will continue to grow in strength
<and usefulness as the years come and
go.

Four of the entire six volumes of

thirds of the cyclopedia before us, as
a convincing ocular demonstration.
Of course, mere promises from such
a source might safely be accepted as
worth their full face value — promises
from an author and publishers of so

^he making of this cyclopedia. Indeed,
irrespective of promises, the simple fact
that such an author and such publishers
have been cooperating in the task would
srenerally be regarded as an absolute
guarantee of the superiority of the
finished product. Now, however, the
product itself is here — two-thirds of it
--and it is not at all likely that the

A REMEDY FOR MEALY BUG.
My coleus are infested with mealy
bug and all efforts to get rid of the
pest seem to be futile. I have used
lemon oil, one-half pint to three quarts
of water, and fir tree oil soap, one
ounce to one gallon of water, which
was used as a dip, but neither of these
has had any effect on the bugs. Any
information on this matter will be ap-
preciated. P. C. E. — Md.
There is nothing better than a good
pressure of cold water from the hose,
directed so that it can hit the pests.
Dipping in the solutions you name may
burn the coleus foliage without harm-
ing the bug in the least. Mealy bug is
worst on old, carried-over coleus. For
that reason throw away sueh plants
once you have taken a crop of cuttings
from them. C. W.

MR. TRICKER'S
TRI-CITIES TALK
PLANTS FOE THE HOLIDAYS.
[A synopsis of a paper by William -E. Trirlser,
read before the Illinois State Florists' Associa-
tion at Mollne, 111.. March 7, 191ti]
■ The average florist takes the matter
of Christmas and Easter plants much as
a man buying a spring or fall suit. It
has come to be habit, in piost instances,
without forethought. I think the flo-
rists of this country should endeavor
to get out of the beaten track of the
usual stock used for these different oc-
casions and try to present something to
the public that is a novelty, that will
increase the plant trade in the same
way that the disseminators of new rosea
and carnations are pushing their wares
forward. I do not;3nean to disregard
the staple plants that are selling year
by year and that we hav« edjrcated the
public to call for. But perbapsit is not
the growers ' fault, as, wjth the excep-
tion of one or two retjuj florists, tbey
4re cautious about taKisg hold of a
itew litte. If something new is brought
to their notice, the predominant thought
relates to price, with the purchase of
six or a dozen plants, instead of enough
to make a large display. The result is
the new plan^ are hidden among the
general stock and unless a live sales-
man pushes them, often are left to the
tender mercies of the knock-out price
or the garbage can. I am afraid we
have not taken advantage of our best
opportunities to present to the public
other stock than the plants that grow
with the least attention.
Growers' Problems.
The pot plant business is discourag-
ing to most florists for the simple rea-
son that it costs about three times as
much to produce the same income per
square foot as it does with plants
benched for cut flower purposes. Many
growers expect all profit and no loss.
There must necessarily be waste and
cull plants, no matter how successful a
grower may be. You cannot take the
hose and water pot plants in the same
way you treat the rose bed. The guid-
ing rule with all stock to be finished
ahead of its natural time is that root
action must be vigorous before the plant
may be expected to break forth. For
instance, take azaleas. Many consign-
ments last season were not received
from abroad until December 1, but
many growers had stock for Christmas!
But what credit, what benefit, is that
to the trade f After such excessive forc-
ing the plant lasts only a few days.
The customer is dissatisfied, the re-
tailer is dissatisfied and we are not
satisfied, ourselves, that we did the
right thing. I believe that if we were
to sell only plants well finished and
hardened off, the public, instead of buy-
ing only at holiday seasons, would be
more intent on having flowering plants
at all seasons and that this would be-
come a flower-loving nation.
We are moving too fast in these
times. One instance in particular im-
presses me. When my illustrious parent
determined that I should have a sim-
ilar experience to that by which he had
gained knowledge, I entered the Veitch
establishment at Chelsea, London, Eng-
land. The man in charge instructed
me to take over certain houses. He
gave me two watering cans, a boy to
carry water, and a long-handled wooden
hammer to tap the pots to ascertain
if they were dry. Imagine my feelings
later when he insisted I tap every pot,
whether I thought it was dry or not!
I mention this to explain how thorough
the old-fashioned method was. A plant
was more carefully nourished, more
carefully handled, and I think we can

attribute the success of the foreign
firms to this painstaking care.
Tbe Leaders for Christmas.
Poinsettias, azaleas, cyclamens, lil-
iums, etc., are the Christmas plants
most fiorists Mali stock. Begonias in
recent years have not been popular.
They are bad shippers and, if they re-
ceive the slightest check or chill at any
stage, represent loss. Melior, of recent
introduction, supersedes (Lorraine and
Cincinnati. Among foliage plants,
dracnnas, crotons and pandanus in the
various forms are the staples. In speak-
ing of drac^enas everybody's thought
flies to terminalis, undoubtedly the most
popular and easiest to produce. But
Lord Wolseley, providing the weather
for ten to twenty days before Christmas
is bright, is much superior in color and
general effect. Amabilis is attractive.
There always has been a call for red-
berried stock for Christmas, and the
various types of solanum, especially
Melvinii, have filled the gap on the
cheaper-priced stock. It has been my
experience with all solanums and pep-
pers, that while the planting-out process
is cheaper, a grower is doubly repaid
by growing this stock in pots through-
out the season and plunging the pots in
the open ground over the rim. There
are few growers who can lift stock and
pot it without its suffering materially.
Skimmia Japonica has come to the front
again the last two years, being im-
ported. It seldom arrives here with the
quantity of leaves it should have as a
finished plant. Another fault is that
the berries are not bright enough to be
conspicuous with the foliage carried on
these plants. Ardisias are extensively
grown in the east and will become more
popular as growers learn the methods of
growing them.
A Good Novelty.
Among additions to the list that
would be beneficial to the trade at
Christmas is Azalea Ksempferi. This
is a scarlet Japanese variety, producing
a lustrous mass of bloom, and, to the
writer's mind, much prettier and more
effective than Mme. Petrick. Red tu-
lips in pots have not gained the popu-
larity that one would expect for Christ-
mas. I think possibly the fault lies in
the growing. Scarlet Ihic Van Thol,
if handled rightly, will finish nicely
for Christmas in pots or pans nine to
twelve inches high.
In recent years there has been a large
demand for 4-inch stock to be used in
making up baskets. These, providing
the linings are deep enough, give the
retailer excellent scope for originality
and should teach the grower that there
are large possibilities in the medium-
sized plants.
The palm section, for decorative pur-
poses, seems somewhat on the wane. I
cannot help thinking that the Boston
fern has to a large degree been respon-
sible for this change. Large specimen
plants of Asplenium Nidus-avis, Dra-
caena Massangeana and the better vari-
eties of crotons, such as Beadii, are
now used extensively for home decora-
tions.
That Variable Date.
Leaving the Christmas plants in this
unfinished condition, and before your
patience is entirely exhausted, we will
consider the more extensive variety for
Easter. The public little realizes the
trouble the grower has in producing
stock for this occasion. Easter coming
on a variable date, it seldom comes to

The Rorists' Review

please all growers. It is either too
late or too early. For instance, this
year Easter comes just at the time when
everybody is getting ready for the
spring trade. It has been a serious
proposition. It has been one continual
cramp, unless a lot of foresight has
been utilized.
For Easter, lilies have been the pre-
dominant item for years. It was first
the calla lily, but longiflorum, Harrisii,
Formosa and giganteum have complete-
ly ousted the calla. There is something
further interesting in the lUy line.
Lilium myriophyllum, introduced from
China, has proven to be an excellent
forcer and bids fair to be an acquisi-
tion for the Easter trade, especially as
it is not the dead white of other lilies.
It is white, slightly sufiFused with pink
and canary yellow at the base. It has
an odor similar to that of jasmine.
There is also Lilium Sargentiae. It is a
stronger grower than Harrisii, six to
eight feet, with from five to ten fiowers
on the stem, a greenish white color
with a shading of purple, but pure white
within the flower.
Pot Lilies Deeply.
Many florists have had their troubles
with lilies. There are few growers who
place the bulbs in the flowering pot to
allow for the extended root action of
the stem. They pot them too high in
the pot. Often the lily, forced in this
manner, does not get the nutrition
necessary and the tips of the leaves
turn brown, the flowers are of imma-
ture size and at once the verdict is that
the bulbs were diseased, which is un-
fair to the importer. The lily bulb
should be placed practically at the bot-
tom of a 5-inch or 6-inch pot, accord-
ing to the size of the bulb, and cov-
ered with only enough soil so that the
top of the bulb will be apparent. After
root action and the growth of stem has
begun, about two to three inches above
the top of the pot, the pot should then
be filled up with a good, heavy, well
mixed compost. Then you have every
particle of root action that it is possi-
ble to get, you have better plants and,
naturally, more flowers.
Hydrangeas and Bhododendions.
At this season the hydrangea is to the
fore. ^ Great work has been done in de-
veloping this plant and we have Mr.
Dupuy, of Long Island, to thank for
much of this advance. There are many
florists who do not realize the value of
the newer varieties of the French type.
It is not only possible to have them
m for early Easter, but also possible
to produce these plants for Christmas.
Lilie Mouillere is probably the best
white variety. Mme. Maurice Hamar
18 an early-flowering pink. Radiant, to
niy mind, is the best pink, but inclined
to be a poor grower if not handled in
the proper manner.
^ There has been a controversy regard-
ing hydrangeas. Many growers do not
realize that the bud has to be formed
the season before forcing, and if the
oud is not therts it is impossible to get
a flower the following season. A great
deal of this stock in recent years has
been imported, but our American grow-
ers seem able to produce a better grade
or stock, well finished and budded,
Cheaper and delivered at a better time
than the imports are. While the French
varieties are indeed an acquisition, I
^0 not want to disregard Otaksa, which
'las served us well.

Bhododendrons of various types,
mostly the Himalayan, have not been
grown much more extensively than they
are at the present time. They are not
hard to time, but they have a tendency
to drop their foliage and take so much
bench room that the grower cannot be
compensated for handling them. The
camellia, deutzia and kalmia are wan-
ing on account of the room they take
and the small return a grower receives
for the risk in producing this stock.
Soses Are Leaders.
Boses are a main feature for Easter
and, with the advance of the baby ram-
blers, it appears that the demand in-
creases materially each year. The
polyantha types can all be imported as
late as Christmas and be brought into
flower for Easter with little trouble.
The newer varieties of this type include
Mme. Jules Gouchault, Ellen Poulsen,
Erna Teschendorff and Mme. Turbat.
These have replaced Phyllis and types
that have not proven so satisfactory to
the public. In the various types of
climbers, Hiawatha and American Belle
held full sway for a season or so, but
the single-fiowered types of this class
do not give the satisfaction that the
semi-double varieties do, Tausendschon
has without a doubt been the queen of
climbing roses. It is probably the best
forcer of all climbers for early spring.
We all know that the other climbers,
such as R. excelsa, Dorothy Perkins,
etc., make excellent plants, but through
starting them up a little too quickly
and a little too hot they have made
wood instead of buds.
In speaking about azaleas I omitted
Azalea mollis, which at one time was
the leader with all growers who force
stock for Easter, but it did not retain
the favor of the public. There is a
new type of mollis, introduced, I be-
lieve, by Koster, that I think will re-
open the demand for this class, as it
includes a golden yellow and a dark
cerise that seems to be much in favor,
holding the bloom for a long period.
BougainviUeas and Andromedas.
Bougainvilleas seem to be less in de-
mand in the east than in former years.
The public there is tiring of them, but
I find through the middle west people
are beginning to call for them. Gar-
denias have been extensively grown in
some sections for Easter trade. These
require such delicate handling that
there are few who experiment in trying
them. Andromeda Japonica and A.
floribunda, to all intents and purposes
a hardy shrub, will last in bloom from
eight to twelve weeks in as perfect a
condition as when the flowers opened.
They are showy and attract a great
(leal of attention. Spiraeas have been
greatly improved by the varieties of
recent introduction. Peach Blossom,
Queen Alexandra and other tyi>es of
the Arendsi form. The trouble with
this stock is that the plants require
as much as three feet square to flnish
properly and they do not pay.
Hyacinths, tulips and other bulbs are
generally a wind-up for Easter, includ-
ing the new colored freesias, the noted
Rainbow hybrids of which have been
exploited with great success.
There are scores of other subjects.
The collection of possible plants to be
grown for Easter is so great that one
cannot in a short space enumerate them
all.

CABNATION DISEASES.
I The reiiort of George I-. I'eltior, florioiiltural
liathologist. riiiversity of Illinois Afiiicultiiral
Experiment StHtion. presented before the con-
vention of the Illinois Stiite Hurlsts' Assocln-
tlon. at Moline. March 7, lOKi.)
Branch-rot of carnations was more
serious last season than formerly. This
•condition was due, in part, to the pecu-
liar weather conditions which were
prevalent during the summer. The ex-
cessive rains produced plants that were
large, bushy and soft. As they made
such rapid growth, a large amount of
topping was necessary, which increased
the number of wounds and so increased
branch-rot. Also, the plants being
bushy prevented them from drying out
completely after the rains, aad this
factor also induced this trouble.
The fungus causing branch-rot can-
not attack a healthy plant below the
surface of the soil like stem-rot, but it
is more in the nature of a wound para-
site, attacking branches where the
flower stems and shoots have been
broken off and slowly working its way
down into the stems and finally killing
the entire plant. The fungus also is
able to get in at the nodes and kill the
young shoots even before they are vis-
ible. In bad cases of node infection
the nodes become discolored and split
and in a short time the whole branch
dies. It was observed for the first
time this season that the fungus is the
principal cause of the dying off of the
lower leaves of the plant, especially in
cases where the plants have yellows.
To Control Branch-Bot.
To control this trouble, I would make
the following recommendations:
It is better, for several reasons, to
use a medium-sized sturdy plant than
4 large, bushy one to set in the bench.
In planting do not set the plants too
close together. Overcrowding will in-
crease branch-rot considerably.
As in the case of the control of stem-
rot, keep the temperature down, espe-
cially during the first three months.
It is always better to syringe early
in the morning of a clear day, so that
the plants will dry out by evening.
In topping be careful not ta leave
stubs and broken parts on the plants,
for these are open doors for branch-rot
to enter.
In gathering flowers, experiments
have shown that carefully breaking off
the flower stems at the node is to be
preferred to cutting the stems between
the nodes. Branch-rot will enter a stub
more easily than it will at the nodes.
Of the utmost importance in the con-
trol of branch-rot, as well as other dis-
eases, is cleanliness. Adopt for your
slogan, "Keep the houses clean!"
which means under, as well as on top, of
the bench.
Carnation Yellows.
Carnation yellows appears to be in-
creasing in seriousness rapidly, and now
is to be found on all the standard vari-
eties in the market. While the cause
of this disease still remains unknown,
I would' make a few suggestions, at this
time, which, if carefully followed, will
help to eliminate this trouble from your
greenhouses.
Always bear in mind that anything
that will lower the vitality of your
plants will increase the yellows; also,
that any cheek the plants receive will,
likewise, tend to increase yellows.
Before making your cuttings select
and mark the strongest and healthiest
plants in the benches. Watch them
closely and if they develop yellows do
not take cuttings from them.
Make your cuttings from plants in
bloom in preference to stock plants.
In this connection, when you grow a

TO HKAB FROM YOU
new variety, remember the plants are
generally propagated from stock plants
and, in many cases, weak cuttings, due
to overpropagation, are used. There-
fore it is well worth your while to se-
lect the best and strongest plants of
the new varieties the first year and
watch them closely. Then make your
cuttings in the manner I have outlined
above.
Root your cuttings early in the sea-
son and do not leave them in the sand
after they have rooted. It is better to
pot up cuttings viith. the root system
fairly developed than to wait until the
cuttings have a great mass of roots.
From my observations I have found
that the later cuttings are made, the
longer they take to root; also, that the
late-rooted cuttings will be troubled
with yellows much more than the plants
rooted early in the season.
Although the more plants are shifted,
the more yellows will increase, never
let the young plants become potbound
or stunted.
Antirrhinum Sust.
Antirrhinum rust, like the carnation
rust of old, has spread over the whole
country and now is found in the east
as well as in the west. Like carnation
rust, it will run its course and the ulti
mate result will be that the antirrhinum
breeder will give us rust-resistant vari
eties, as in the case of the carnation.
However, this time has not yet arrived
and the question now before the grower
is to know how to control it at the
present time.
This rust, as well as anthracnose, an-
other disease of the sn^dragon, <ian be
prevented by applying Bordeaux mix
ture every two weeks from the seedling
stage until the spikes form, followed
by a weekly application of ammoniacal
copper carbonate during the rest of the
growing season. A weekly application
of the ammoniacal copper carbonate is
also effective. Bordeaux mixture dis-
colors the foliage, so it cannot be used
through the season.
In my former reports I recommended
the use of seeds instead of cuttings.
I have learned from experience, how-
ever, that suitable plants for commer-
cial purposes cannot be obtained from
deeds. Therefore I would modify my
recommendation to this extent. Do not
use cuttings if you must send for them.
Start your first batch from seed and
then select cuttings from the most prom-
ising plants. Bust cannot be intro-
duced in your establishment through
seed, but infected cuttings can be easily
overlooked. It has been proven rather
conclusively that the rust was spread
over this country during the last three
years on infected cuttings.
Aster Wilt and Yellows.
Last summer work was started on
aster wilt and yellows, two of the most
serious troubles of this crop. About
10,000 plants were used in the experi-
ments. Twenty-five varieties, represent-
ing all the commercial types, were
grown from seed obtained from vari-
ous states in this country and different
localities in Europe. AH the plants
used were more or less infected with
yellows, showing that the variety or
origin of the seed has no influence on
the amount of yellows. The more young
seedlings were shifted, the more loss
from wilt occurred. This was true to
some extent with yellows also. The
lowest percentage of loss occurred
where the seeds were sown directly in
the field, although the plants bloomed
later. Disinfecting the seed with mer-
curic chloride, one part to 1,000 parts
of water, for five to ten minutes, and
the use of clean seed beds, with a min-
imum of shifting, or transplanting, will
materially decrease the loss from wilt.
No recommendation can be made for
the control of yellows at this time.
Besides the studies reported on above,
which are to be considered major prob-
lems, we have under observation a
number of minor troubles, which it is
hoped will be brought to your attention
through circulars issued by the divi-
sion of floriculture, or through the trade
papers.

FEBTIIilZEBS FOR BOSES.
[The report of F. W. Muncie, of Urbana, 111.,
nil fertilizer work at the Agricultural Experi-
iiuMit Station, University of Illinois, presented
licfore the convention of the Illinois State Flo-
rists' Association nt Moline, March 7.1
I am giving as a report to the asso-
ciation this year a summary of our bul-
letin, ' ' Commercial Fertilizers for
Koses, " which now is in the hands of
our editor and soon will reach you.
The soil in the vicinity of the experi-
ment station is a brown silt loam. On
such a soil applications of phosphatic
fertilizer yield greatest increases in
crops. Nitrogenous fertilizer also is
needed, but applications of potassium
sulphate not only give no increased crop
but even decrease the yield.
The periods of heavy feeding should
be during the periods of most rapid
growth, viz., in fall and spring, when
sunshine is abundant enough not to
limit growth. Fertilization is particu-
larly needed in spring, when the 'soil
mixture is to the greatest extent de-
pleted of itSi readily available content
of plant food. While keeping this in
mind, attention should be paid to the
periods of heavier production by the
plants, when more fertilizer is needed.
Phosphate gives an increase in produc-
tion continuous throughout the year.
Specific Kinds of Fertilizer.
Acid phosphate, used in these experi-
ments, was found a satisfactory form
of phosphatic fertilizer. No compari-
son wag made, however, between it and
bone meal, basic slag, and other phos-
phate-containing fertilizing materials,
l^ried blood and ammonium sulphate
inay each be used as nitrogenous fer-
tilizers. The care necessary to prevent
"verfeeding with ammonium sulphate
IS so great, however, that its use is
'lardly to be recommended. The same
precaution is necessary, but to a some-
*^hat less degree, with sodium nitrate.
Applications of dried blood at the
late of five pounds per 100 square feet
'jf bench space are safe, if put on only
luring periods of bright sunshine and
;jt heavy production by the plants, and
'*^ not made oftener than four to six
:^eek8 apart. The amount of nitrogen
'n such an application corresponds to
ihat contained in 270 pounds of manure
■^f the average nitrogen content (fifty
per cent moisture); it is somewhat
jnore readily available than part of
iiat in good manure. These compara-
' ;ve figures give a basis for the use of
' .'I'ler material, however, and show that
j '<? need for nitrogenous fertilizer may
'^ supplied as manure, quite as well as
by the use of a commercial fertilizer.
The symptom of nitrogen starvation —
lightening of the color of the foliage —
is so evident to every rose grower that
there is no difficulty in determining
when applications of a nitrogen-con-
taining fertilizer sliould be made.
The Need of Phosphorus.
Plants do not show such marked signs
of the need for phosphorus, and experi-
ment alone can determine its need. Ap-
plications of acid phosphate up to
twenty pounds per 100 square feet of
bench space, or forty pounds per 100
cubic feet of soil, were found to giva
marked increases in production. The
quantity of phosphorus contained iv
this application is equal to that con
tained in an application of 2,800 pounds
of manure of average composition (fifti
per cent moisture) to lOQ square feei
of bench space or twice this amount
mixed with 100 cubic feet of soil. Since
manifestly it is impossible to use such
a mixture, the need for phosphate ii>
form of a commercial fertilizer is evi-
dent. Acid phosphate, the only form ot
phosphatic fertilizer used in the experi-
ment, is, as stated, satisfactory. Since
the benefit from its use is continuous
throughout the year, it should be mixed
with the soil before the benches are
filled. Top-dressings with it are not so
satisfactory, since surface root growth
is stimulated in this way, resulting in
the roots having contact with the soil
particles only in an upper layer of the
soil in the bench. There is no danger
from overfeeding with acid phosphate,
for four times the quantity here recom-
mended has been applied without in-
jury. In this respect acid phosphate
possessed an advantage over bone,
which cannot be mixed with soil or ap-
plied as top-dressings in excessive
amounts without injuring the plants.
The same is true to a greater extent
with high phosphate tankage, and blood
and bone.
Use of Tilme.
With such a need for phosphorus by
rose plants, the use of lime or lime-
stone with acid phosphate is to be dis-
couraged, since the solubility of the
phosphate would be decreased by its
use. The decrease in production from
sections in which limestone was used
in the soil mixture, compared with that
from sections receiving-no lime, is fully
proven by the data. The mixing of
lime or limestone with the soil, though
quite a common practice among grow-
ers, cannot be recommended. In case
an application of lime is needed to pre-
vent the groyrth of algse and molds on
the soil surface, finely ground limestone
applied as a top-dressing at the rate of
ten pounds per 100 square feet of bench
space and lightly cultivated into the
surface, will accomplish this without
being carried down into the soil fur-
ther than an inch below the surface,
during the year.
The benefit of fertilizing is found tc
be in number of flowers produced and
to a slight extent in the average stem
length; no measurable change in length
of petal follows fertilization with acid
phosphate.
Comparisons of Soils.
The soil used in the experiment de-
scribed in the preceding pages was of
the type known as the brown silt loam.
A description of the various soil types
of the state of Illinois, with their fer-
tility, is given in our Bulletin 123,
which should be studied by every florist
in connection with these experiments.
The significant facts of the table ow
page 196 x>f the bulletin, giving the-
fertility of the different fypes, are,
firstly, that the nitrogen content varies
from 1,440 to 8,900 pounds per acre,
six and two-thirds inches deep, and,
secondly, that practically every type
of soil has a low phosphorus content.
Peat soils alone show a low potassium
content. The need for nitrogen may
be judged from the appearance of the
plants, and the loss made good by the
addition of manure or dried blood. An
even better method is to obtain, at the
beginning of the season, a soil of higher
nitrogen content, by selection of sod
soil, heavy manuring, or turning under
of green manure. These experiments
have shown a need for the addition of
a phosphatic fertilizer and with a low
phosphorus content, a property common
to practically all Illinois soils, the rec-
ommendations are applicable to any of
these soils. Since acid phosphate pro-
duces no injury when applied in large
quantities, there is no reason to fear
making an excessive application of it.
On peat and sandy soils alone is there
danger of a lack of potassium, and con-
siderations of watering and proper soil
texture prevent the use of these soils
in the growing of roses.
Recommendations.
On the basis of these conclusions the
following recommendations are made as-
regards the growing of roses:
Keep up the nitrogen content of the
soil by turning under green or farn*
manure before use. If roses show signs
of nitrogen starvation — a lightening of
color of the foliage — make up the need
with applications of liquid manure,
mulches of manure, or top-dressings of
dried blood, the last in applications not
exceeding five pounds per 100 sqnarv;
feet of bench space and applied noH
oftener than four weeks apart. Fe«(I
only during sunshiny weather and most
generously during periods of heavy pro-
duction.
Use generous quantities of acid phos-
phate in the soil. It may be added
either at the rate of four to eight tons
per acre in the field; in a compost with
soil at the rate of forty to eighty
pounds per 100 cubic feet of soil, or
mixed with the soil at the same rate,
just previous to filling the benches.
Do not mix lime or limestone with
the soil. If needed for sweetening the
soil and preventing the growth of algse,
niake a top-dressing of finely ground
limestone at the rate of ten pounds |>er
100 square feet of bench space.

SHOW PLANS COMPUITE.
The final schedule of premiums cov-
ering the classes for competition at the
National Flower Show, Philadelphia,
March 25 to April 2, has been dis-
tributed and all contemplating making
entries are urged to place them in the
hands of the secretary at once. The
closing date for entries is March 20
and entries after that date must be
accompanied by a fee of $2 and will
only be received subject to acceptance
by the National Flower Show com-
mittee.
Practically all of the space set apart
for trade exhibits has been reserved,
excepting a few blocks on the main
floor extension, which doubtless will be
taken up within a few days.
Exhibits, or exhibition material,
should be forwarded wherever possible
by Pennsylvania railroad connection to
North Philadelphia Station, which is
two blocks from Convention hall, where
the show is to be held. Arrangements
have been made whereby all shipments
arriving at that station will be hauled
to Convention hall at the rate of 15
cents per hundred pounds and all ship-
ments arriving at other stations will
be hauled at the rate of 20 cents per
hundred pounds. Packages should be
marked ' ' Oberholtzer Transfer. ' ' Ship-
ments by Adams Express should be
marked "North Philadelphia Station,"
which is a depot of the express
company.
All arrangements for the show are
about completed, and at this date the
prospects for the success of the under-
taking are particularly bright.
The show will open at 2 p. m. March
25 and the opening ceremonies will
take place at 3 p. m.
Anyone requiring a copy of the final
schedule can obtain same on applica-
tion to the secretary at 53 West
Twenty-eighth street. New York city.
John Young, Sec'y.
AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.
The carnation exhibition at the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia,
March 25 to April 2, will be known as
the Silver Jubilee exhibition. A spe-
cial silver medal has been struck for
the occasion and will be awarded to
each winner of one or more first pre-
miums in the competitive classes. These
medals will be given in addition to the
regular cash prizes.
Another feature at this exhibition
will be the class for the largest twelve
blooms. The Kroeschell Bros, gold
medal, valued at $50, will be offered
in this class and should bring out an
extraordinary display.
The regular A. C. S. judges will offi-
ciate, except in the retailers' section,
which will be judged by W. J. Palmer,
of Buffalo; W. L. Rock, of Kansas City,
and F. C. W. Brown, of Cleveland. The
regular judges are C. W. Johnson, of
Morgan Park, 111.; William Nicholson,
of Framingham, Mass.; B. Witter-
staetter, of Cincinnati, O.; E. Daille-
douze, of Flatbush, N. Y.; E. A. Stroud,
of Strafford, Pa.; W. J. Palmer, of
Buffalo, N. Y.
All entries for the carnation exhibit
must be in the hands of the secretary
not later than March 20. A fine of $2
wiU be placed on each entry arriving
after that date. Prospective exhibitors
will confer a great favor on the cler-
ical force by sending in their entries at
the earliest possible moment. There is
much detail work in connection with
an exhibition of this size and nothing
should be left that can be done early.
All members of the A. C S. who have
paid their dues for 1916 will be entitled
to a season pass to the show. Certifi-
cates are being mailed out to those
whose dues are paid, which will be ex-
changed at the show for the passes.
Please send in your dues at once and
a certificate will be mailed to you.

I.ADIES' S. A. F.
On account of the secretary not at-
tending the National Flower Show to
be held in Philadelphia March 25 to
April 2, the president has authorized
Mrs. Albert M. Herr to receive dues,
and give receipts for the same.

AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.
All members of the American Gladi-
olus Society in good standing will be
given free season tickets to the Na-
tional Flower Show, which will be held
at Philadelphia, March 25 to April 2.
It will be necessary to have a certifi-
cate, which may be had upon applica-
tion to the undersigned at 538 Cedar

BOWLING AT WASHINGTON.
Washington florists interested in the
bowling tournament of the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association, to be held
in the national capital, are planning
to interest the florist bowlers who will
attend the big flower show in Philadel-
phia. Florists' night during the tourna-
ment is to be made a grand occasion.
William F. Qude, of Washington, is
president of the Atlantic Coast Bowling
Association. Entries in the tournament
close March 25 and florists who can par-
ticipate should get busy at once. As
the Philadelphia show closes April 2
and the tournament starts April 3,
Florists' day at the national capital
could be worked in as a side trip and
allow florists to get back to their busi-
ness in ample time to care for the
Easter rush.

UHL THE UNTJSUAL?
No, It's the Editor.
Here is a column from the Bepublican
of Greenfield, O., sent in hj the Mount
Gilead Floral Co. It occupied the
full right-hand column of the front
page and it's worth reading. Appar-
ently it is a manifestation of the edi-
tor's great good nature and the facility
with which he wields his pen, but it
might be the work of the advertising
department. Anyway, it's easy to read
and worth reading; perhaps even worth
using for advertising copy in another
country paper afar from Greenfield.
CALLA FOLIAGE SCALDED.
I am sending you some calla lily
leaves which seem to be affected, but
I cannot find the cause of the trouble.
I have not had any good flowers from
these plants, but the foliage looked all
right until about two weeks ago. These
plants became dried out at one time
and I turned the hose on them, and
since then they have looked as if
scalded. When I put the bulbs in the
bed last August I did not cover them
as I usually do. Perhaps that had
something to do with it.
E. H. M.— la.
The leaves have every appearance of
having been scalded by the sun. I
think your plants are probably stand-
ing where the sun's rays strike them
through some defective glass. A light
shade over the glass would remedy the
trouble. Give the plants an abundant
water supply, feed liberally and they
should still give you a good number of
flowers. C. W.
Huntington, Ind.— George Pastor re-
cently suffered a loss by the seepage of
illuminating gas from a main broken
by sewer diggers. He has brought suit
against the sewer digger and also
against the gas company.
Secaucus, N. J. — The will of August
Junge, of Secaucus, who retired from
the firm of Komitsch & Junge a year
ago and who died February 16, has just
been probated. After making twenty-
two bequests aggregating $32,000 he
<lirected that "all the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate I give and be-
<iueath to the imperial government of
Germany to be used for the benefit of
the wounded soldiers and the soldiers'
widows and orphans in such manner as
the imperial government of Germany
shall see fit and proper."
Johnsvllle, Pa. — Fire partly destroyed
the upper range of greenhouses of
James Moss, early in the morning of
March 4. The prompt arrival of the
fire company made it possible to save
part of the greenhouses and the service
buildings, but it was zero at the time
and nearly everything in the houses
was ruined. The loss is especially un-
fortunate from the fact. that Mr. Moss
■was behind in the shipment of many
■wholesale orders for young stock and
now will be required to refund a con-
siderable sum to those whose orders he
can not fill as expected.
MR. UHL, THE FLORIST.
Enill Ubl is an enthusiastic florist. Emll Ubl
is entliusiastic, for that matter, anywtiere and
at any time.
When be walks downtown he puts enthusiasm
into every step. When he says "good morning"
be says it enthusiastically, and the smile that
accompanies ripples his countenance as the peb-
ble dropped in the pool ripples the placid sur-
face.
When Alsace-Lorraine cradled Emll Uhl in the
late fifties she was nursing a ray of sansblne
that has lost none of Its warmth through the
processes of age.
If Emll ever bad a care, or if fate ever
double-crossed him she got none of her delight
out of the publicity that he gave to the incident.
He's one of those rare specimens that refuses to
follow your hard-luck story with one of his own.
Whenever there is a holiday on, Emll is out
with the bloom from the houses of glass. Some-
bow or other America will always associate a
flower with every gala day, religious, social or
patriotic.
Easter brings the lily in all its loveliness for
our admiration.
Memorial day, as a matter of tribute, brings
out all varieties.
Thanksgiving gives us the chrysanthemum,
big and fluCTy and in all the shades which the
specialists are able to produce.
When Christmas comes, then the poinsettia
makes its appearance, natural, artiflcial, or
both, and on all these days and others of lesser
import, Emll Uhl is on hand witt> a downtown
store that flower lovers may step in and admire
and buy for themselves or their friends.
That's a fine practice of Mr. Uhl, and* people
should encourage the enterprise. Whenever Mr.
Uhl opens up a place downtown people should
patronize, even though tliey bought but a single
bloom, or a blooming plant in pot for table
decoration.
Did yon ever take a blooming plant as a lit-
tle surprise to the queen of your household?
Well, as a surprise, it is unmatchable. Try it.
The next time yon have a chance to buy a
plant In bloom, take it home and say to friend
wife: "Saw this downtown and thought it
would look awfully pretty in the center of our
dinner table. Fix it up kind o' tasty like."
Better have a bottle of smelling salts in yonr
pocket, for she might faint. Better, also, set
the plant down before you make your little
speech, then you can have the use of both arms
to catch her as she falls.
When she recovers she will forthwith become
your press agent. She'll run all over the neigh-
borhood to tell the neighbors that you brought
home a blooming plant as a table decoration.
Of course she won't say it is the first one you
ever brought home. She'll tell It as if it was
your daily practice. Therein is the sting for the
poor woman next door, who is married to a cold-
hearted mutt that wouldn't think of a plant
for the table in a million years.
The next day when you walk downtown the
children next door will part the lace curtains
and point yon out as the man who bought a
blooming plant and took it home as % gift to
his wife.
Now don't spill the beans by telling friend
wife that the next time Mr. Uhl brings some
flowering plants downtown you'll buy one and
bring It home. Act wise when you read this
and exhibit a rank indifference. Might say
by way of comment, that you've got other use
for your money. That will sound natural to
friend wife.
But down deep In your heart make an eight
by ten resolution that the next time Emll gives
yon a chance, plunk goes two-bits or a half for
a pretty plant in bloom, and don't forget the
smelling salts.
MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
Tho Imlay Co., of Zanesville^.Q., has
remodeled its store to meet tVe re-
quirements of a combined flower and
seed business. The new plan is excel-
lent in arrangement and saving of
space. Along the entire counter and
facing the customer is an extension of
about six inches, divided into sections
and covered with what are best de-
scribed as miniature greenhouse venti-
lators. The seeds are arranged in con-
secutive order, plainly labeled with the
percentage of germination, which gives
the buyer a correct estimate of the
quantity needed. Arranged in draw-
ers and on shelves opposite, the stock
is carried in packet and package to
correspond with the seed compartments,
as far as possible. This plan does
away with bins and bags, so often seen,
and insures stock from getting mixed>
as is often the case in busy times.
Both branches of the business are stead-
ily increasing.
T. M. Fitzgerald, of Beaver, Pa., has
noted the cut of carnations from the
range built last year and is positive it
pays to keep the houses as light as
possible by cleaning and painting. A
branch store has been opened at Beaver
Falls, and as there are several promis-
ing junior Fitzgeralds, it is possible a
chain of stores may be established in
nearby towns, to be supplied, in part,
by the home range.
Thomas Bolton, of Beaver Falls, Pa.,
reports a good season. A local club
patterned after Pittsburgh is a pos-
sibility, with Mr. Bolton as its hustling
president.
J. S. Hennon & Sons, of New Castle,
Pa., owing to the heavy demand, will
be unable to make a display at the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia,
but they intend to hold a local spring
show. Funeral work keeps all hands
busy.
Butz Bros., of New Castle, Pa., were
arranging to fill an order at San An-
tonio, Tex., through the F. T. D. when
I called.
B. F. Engle, of Rochester, Pa., says
the French and Dutch bulbous stock
certainly was never more welcome than
this season. It has helped in many a
pinch.
George Huscroft, of Steubenville, O.,
is devoting all of his time to his new
store. His many friends will be sorry
to know that he suddenly has become
deaf, which afSiction, it is hoped, may
be overcome.
The Bell Floral Co., of Franklin, Pa.,
has adopted "Bells" for a trade-mark.
Valentine's day orders caused a merry
jingle.
J. A. Peterson & Sons, of Cincinnati,
are enjoying a good share of the sea-
son's prosperity. Mr. Peterson, accom-
panied by Miss Peterson, is at French
Lick Springs for a rest previous to
visiting the National Flower Show at
Philadelphia, for which Roger Peterson
says he is getting in his best licks to
produce some prize-winning stock.
In Cincinnati I met S. S. Skidelsky,
of Philadelphia, who incidentally was
booming the National Flower Show and
prophesying a positive success. We
both were reminiscent, as old travelers
from the Quaker City, and agreed with
John E. Angle, of Mansfield, O., that
at whatever angle one looks at the
business prospect, it points upward and
onward. W. M.

Cyclamens.
Young cyclamen plants are still
mostly in flats. Do not neglect them.
Keep the surface soil stirred and the
plants will grow much better than
when you allow a coat of slime or moss
to cover it. Shift into 3-inch pots be-
fore they have time to become too much
crowded in the flats. Use plenty of
leaf-mold, not too much decayed. This
should form half the potting medium.
Add a little old, dried manure and
sand and let the balance be loam, light
rather than heavy. Continue to keep
the plants in a fairly warm house; 52
to 55 degrees at night will be a good
temperature. Flowering plants which
it is intended to retard should have a
cool house, not over 45 degrees at night
and 40 degrees on cold nights. The
glass must be shaded and do not use
any more fire heat than is necessary.
Damp on floors and below the benches
freely when the heat is on, to guard
against any possibility of attacks of
thrips.
Bhododendrons.
Rhododendrons for Easter flowering
can be brought into a cool greenhouse.
They will not need much forcing if '
started now, but if left until the mid-
dle of March, they should be given a
temperature of 55 degrees at night and
be kept freely syringed until the buds
show color. Undoubtedly the finest
Easter rhododendron is Pink Pearl, and
these are all splendidly budded this
season. The price is higher than that
of the ordinary hybrids, but the flowers
and trusses are so much larger and
finer that they always readily com-
mand a higher price. White Pearl has
flowers of the same size as Pink Pearl.
It is not pure white, as its name might
signify, but delicate pink. It is a
lovely variety, but, unfortunately, it '
is a poor shipper, losing much of its
foliage en route from Europe.
Bougainvilleas.
For Easter, bougainvilleas always
meet with a tolerably good sale. Their
color cannot be classed as exactly a
pleasing one, but associated with white
or pale yellow flowering plants it shows
up well. Give the Easter bougainvil-
leas a warm house, 60 degrees at night
will do, and syringe them freely. They*
will come along fairly rapidly, but it
takes some time to get the flowers de-
veloped and, once open, they can be
easily kept in good condition a week or
two in a cool house.
Rambler Boses.
Any rambler roses not yet started
must be got under way at once. It is
an advantage to start all dormant roses
cool and gradually advance the heat.
The season is npw so advanced that
^ny unstarted plants should have 55
degrees at night from the start, or they
will probably be too late. Use care
in syringing roses that they get dry
before nightfall, and do not wet them
over at all on dull, dark days. Be
careful with the ventilation. Any cold
drafts are likely to start mildew and
once this gets a fair foothold it is
hard to stamp it out. Prevention is
always better than cure, and with no
plants is more care necessary while the
growths are young and tender than
with roses.
Spiraeas.
There still is time to start the old
Spiraea Japonica and have it in bloom
for Easter, but it must have a tem-
perature of 65 degrees at night from
the start. Such varieties as Peach
Blossom, Queen Alexandra, Gladstone
and astilboides should be started into
growth before now, for they require a
longer season to flower than the old
Japonica. All the spirseas want a
copious water supply and it is well to
remember that their foliage is tender,
and for that reason fumigate lightly
where they are, and never use the one-
time popular tobacco stems as a fumi-
gant.
Easter Ulies.
The Lenten season began Wednesday,
March 8, and your lilies should show
their buds plainly at this date in order
to have them on time, in an average
night temperature of 60 degrees. If
they seem a little late hustle them
along at once rather than adopt the-
sweating process nearer the festival.
Throw away any diseased or sickly
looking plants. They are absolutely
valueless and only occupy valuable-
space needed by the healthy stock.
Either spray or fumigate the plants
regularly to keep aphis in check.
Dutch Bulbs.
The narcissi, tulips and hyacinths-
wanted for Easter must be kept as cold
as possible for some weeks yet. All
these bulbs come along quickly in April
and from three to four weeks will be
ample time to allow for them after
housing. As Easter fomes so late, this-
stock will come much better if flowered
in coldframes and kept close to the
glass, as in the frames the plants will
be stockier and can easily be shaded to-
retard them.
Deciduous Shrubs for Forcing.
Deciduous shrubs are always popular
at Easter. They will need less forcing-
than usual this season, owing to the
late date of the holiday. Allow lilacs,,
prunus, malus, snowballs, wistarias,,
laburnums, Crataegus and deutzias an
average of not over six weeks in a
temperature of 50 degrees. The apples
and plums come more quickly than the
other varieties. All these varieties are
much improved by being grown cool.
The flowers are of better color andl
possess more substance.

MODEBN WINTBB SWEET PEAS.
fA paper by Howarrt M. Earl, read t)efore tlie
Florists' Clul) of PhiladelpliiH. .\liirc-li 7. l!)l<i. 1
To arrive at the development of the
winter-flowering sweet pea, we must go
back to the introduction of that fine
old variety, Blanche Ferry, for un-
doubtedly the American winter-flower-
ing sweet pea can be traced back to
that variety, or to the early-flowering
mutations which have since arisen from
it.
Introduction of Blanche Ferry.
The history of Blanche Ferry is ex-
ceedingly interesting and, strange to
say, the name of its originator is not
known. Over fifty years ago a quarry-
man 's wife in Jefferson county, New
York, procured some seeds from a
bright-flowered plant of that old vari-
ety— in fact, one of the original vari-
eties— Painted Lady (this variety was
introduced in 1700), and for many years
afterward she sowed and selected the
best plants from her original selection,
thus carefully and painstakingly im-
proving her stock of wliat was in later
years to be known as Blanche Ferry.
W. W. Tracy, Sr., who was then con-
nected with the firm of D. M. Ferry &.
Co., of Detroit, in passing that way
saw the plants and was immediately
impressed with their distinct character
and obtained a small stock — only, I be-
lieve, about 100 seeds. The variety
was named by the firm Blanche Ferry
and was introduced by them in 1889.
In 1895 Messrs. Ferry introduced an
earlier-flowering type of the same vari-
ety, calling it Extra Early Blanche
Ferry. In 1898 W. Atlee Burpee & Co.
introduced Earliest of All, a still earlier
type than Ferry's Extra Early Blanche
Ferry, and this variety is what is
known on the market and grown so
extensively as Christmas Pink. There
is a much earlier-flowering variety of
the same color which blooms some time
before Christmas Pink, but the growth
is smaller and it is questionable whether
under glass the flowers attain quite the
size of its rather later-blooming coun-
terpart.
Undoubtedly, all our winter-flowering
sweet peas have the Blanche Ferry
blood in them. Although the crosses
later may not have been made on that
March 9, 1U16.

variety, atill, the originals of the type
all emanated from it.
Blanche Ferry in North Africa.
The Telemly sweet pea, which origi-
nated with the Rev. Edwin Arkwright
at Telemly, Algiers, Algeria, Africa,
also sprang from Blanche Ferry. Mr.
Arkwright explains that a sport from
Blanche Ferry showed itself in his gar-
den, blooming in February, when he
promptly marked it, and the seed saved
from this plant showed flowers the fol-
lowing January. From this time on he
jjot various sports from this and also
crossed them with some of the best of
the summer-flowering sorts. He explains
that he sows all his peas about the end
of September, and while the summer-
flowering varieties do not bloom until
May, these early varieties come into
bloom in January.
As soon as Countess Spencer was in-
troduced, in 1904, Mr. Arkwright pro-
cured it and has been crossing his orig-
inal type with the new waved or Spen-
cer varieties, and I believe he has now
a number of Spencer early-flowering
varieties quite fixed to color.
Work of Engelmann and Zvolanek.
Mention should also be made of the
early-flowering type known as Engel-
mann 's. Mr. Engelmann explains that
about 1903 some plants of the regular
summer-flowering type sported with
him, producing plants of the true win-
ter-flowering habit. These he grew for
some years under glass in England,
where he is located, but, on account of
the dull weather usually experienced
there throughout the winter, he has
ceased to grow this type, as he can get
the original summer-flowering Spencers
to bloom under glass in April.
The first of Zvolanek 's varieties of
winter-flowering Spencers to be intro-
duced are, we believe, the direct re-
sults of crossing the winter-flowering
grandifloras with the sumnrer-flowering
Spencer type, but there have also been
introduced several varieties of true
Spencei; form, but winter-flowering type,
which we understand came as direct
sports from the summer-flowering vari-
eties; namely, Yarrawa, Rose Queen and
Anita Wehrman.
Experiments in Australia.
The origin of that great Australian
variety, Yarrawa, is interesting. Arthur
Yates, of Sydney, explains that for
many years the sweet pea was looked
upon as one of the most difficult plants
to grow successfully in the warmer sec-
tions of Australia. The regular sum-
mer-flowering types bloomed in the late
spring, when they were liable to be
subjected to sudden bursts of hot
weather and heavy winds, which often
shortened their flowering season to a
few weeks. Occasionally they entirely
failed to bloom. However, the intro-
duction of such varieties as Earliest of
All, Mont Blanc and later the Telemly
and newer American varieties quite
revolutionized sweet pea culture in Aus-
l^ralia, as these early varieties flowered
in the winter and early spring, giving
a supply of flowers for several months
\vhen practically no other flowers were
available.
This was a great advance and the
sweet pea in Australia soon became one
"f the most popular flowers. However,
rne quality of the winter-flowering va-
rieties was so much below the standard
^^ the modern Spencers that the Aus-
tralian growers were not satisfied and
efforts have been made with consider-
able success by a few enthusiasts to
raise by selection and cross fertilizing
a superior type of the winter-flowering
varieties of the grandiflora section.
Yarrawa and Its Descendants.
However, a decided advance was in
view, as in 1908 there appeared in the
garden of John Young, of Sydney, in a
patch of new summer-flowering Spen-
cers, one plant of true Spencer type,
but quite distinct from all others. It
was different in its vigorous habit and
upright growth, earliness and color; it
was in full bloom when the others were
only a few inches high and it had gone

to seed before the normal type had
commenced to show flower buds. The
seeds from this plant were carefully
saved and sown the following autumn,
when it came quite true to the parent
and, instead of remaining more or less
dormant all winter, as the original Spen-
cers do, it commenced to bloom in the
late autumn and continued to flower
right through the winter, going to seed
in the early spring, as Telemly and
American winter-flowering varieties do
in Sydney, the winters there being com-
paratively mild, with only light frosts.
This early Spencer is quite distinct
in habit from any of the previous early-
flowering varieties. It is an extremely
vigorous grower. With good cultiva-
tion it will, in the vicinity of Sydney,
top a 10-foot trellis, while the Telemly
and older American varieties, grown
alongside, only attain half the height.
The Australians have been working on
Yarrawa as the seed-bearing parent of
many crosses, using the best of the
summer-flowering Spencers, and I be-
lieve they have now quite a family of
Yarrawas in the best colors, but, so-
far as can be judged from reports, they
are as yet far from being properly
fixed, though doubtless in a year or
two this will be remedied, and, as I con-
sider Yarrawa the easiest doer of all
winter-flowering sweet peas, if thesfr
Australian children of Yarrawa em-
body the characteristics of the parent,,
they will be well worth having.
Difficulties in Fixing Types.
My experiences and observations
have indicated that in all lines of plant
breeding the experimenter has to admit
many times that nature's own crossing
produces a type that is far more easily
fixed than when one sets about to try to^
obtain a given color or type, and to no
other flower does this apply more than
to sweet peas.
Florists were quick to recognize the
superior qualities of the Spencer sweet
pea which Burpee first offered in Amer-
ica in 1904, under the name of Countess
Spencer, and with the distinct new
type came an earnest desire on the part
of those interested to produce, if pos-
sible, a strain of the proper growth and
flowering characteristics for forcing
under glass.
The first to endeavor to place a type
of winter-fiowering Spencer on the mar-
ket was Anton Zvolanek, of Bound
Brook, N. J., and later of Lompoc, Cal.,
but Mr. Zvolanek 's experience, judging
from trials I have made, must have
been quite similar to those which
Morse, Burpee and other growers had
when trying to fix crosses or sports of
the original or grandiflora types.
As a summer cut flower the Spencer
so quickly superseded the grandiflora
type that it was only natural for florists
to be most eager for a winter-flowering
strain producing the same beautifully
waved flowers that today appeal to all
flower lovers during practically the en-
tire twelve months of the year. To me
it seems that this extreme eagerness
was solely responsible for some selec-
tions being placed on the market in an
unfixed condition. Such a demand had
been created for the seed of the Spencer
type for forcing that many growers
were satisfied to pay. what might be
called fabulous prices for seed which
did not represent a fixed type, realiz-
ing that the high prices obtained for
the waved flowers would permit a se-
vere roguing in the bed or bench, or a
careful assorting of blooms after they
were cut.
I
Making Haste Slowly.
The field of sale for seed of forcing
sweet peas is limited, and while watch-
ing the work of George W. Kerr at
Fordhook I always had in mind the
fact that it was better to "make haste
slowly" and arrange to place on the
market only those selections which are
of a pleasing color and which came ab-
solutely true to type.
One of the strains of the modern
winter-flowering sweet pea which I
have had the pleasure of watching de-
velop represents practically six years
of hard and patient work on the part
of G. W. Kerr, and after repeated trials
we were forced to concede that it was
better and more sure to start at the
bottom and work up slowly in this way
than to attempt to fix some of the
strains offered to the trade.
As in all other lines of horticultural
work, the seedsman is forever on the

lookout for something better, and those
€rms who maintain extensive experi-
mental grounds always have a great
number of selections coming on, the
majority of which the public will never
hear of. This applies to sweet peas as
well as to other blooming plants.
To those present who are interested
in the development of the modern sweet
pea, whether for forcing or growing
outdoors, I extend an invitation to visit
the trials at Fordhook Farms during
the latter part of June next, when we
should have a fine display or all types.

I read with much interest your criti-
cism of our St. Valentine's day adver-
tisement, which was reproduced in The
Review of February 24, and I must say
that your point is well taken, but we
had the same point in mind before the
advertisement was inserted. If the ad-
vertisement appeared in the large cities
of the country, such as New "iork,
Chicago and Philadelphia, we would
need the word ' * flowers ' ' in the ad, but
in a city of 125,000, Albany, I am of
the opinion that in this case it was un-
necessary. Moreover, we could not put
the word in without spoiling the ap-
pearance of the entire ad. In this
connection I might say that there is
no other Danker, Eyres, Travison or
Rosary within fifty miles of Albany.
There is one other Gloeckner, in the
furniture business, but he is the only
one that would in any way conflict. I
am pleased that you criticised our ad
rather than praised it, because in future
advertising we can guard against any-
thing of this kind if we think it neces-
sary. William Gloeckner.
HOW HAYS GEOWS CANNAS.
Last year I purchased my cauna
bulbs divided, but this year I bought
them in clumps and intend to divide
them at the end of March or April 1.
When dividing canna clumps, if any of
the roots are turning brown on the
inside, it is a sure sign that they will
rot. It is best to have not less than
two eyes to each root, for these will
produce stronger plants. Under my top
bench I make another bench, using 4-
inch boards for the sides and ends.
I fill the bench with dry sand and set
the cannas in it. I do not water them
for several days, and if some of the
roots are too wet or damp, the sand
will dry them, thus avoiding decay.
The cannas have sufficient light under
the top bench and do not dry out as
they would if exposed to the sun's
rays. It is wonderful how rapidly they
grow in the sand, making fine stalks
and leaves, the latter frequently meas-
uring from twelve to eighteen inches
long after a few weeks' growth.
In making the canna bed I first spade
and grade the soil, building the bed
higher in the center. Then I make
holes two feet apart. I place horse
manure in the bottom of the holes,
then some soil and then the cannas.
I try to leave as much stalk above the
soil as was above the sand. A good
fertilizer is bone meal, using about two
handfuls to a plant. It will do no
harm if one-third of the soil is clay;
sometimes the soil is too rich and
makes spindly growths and inferior
blooms. The cannas in the bed should
have an abundance of water when well
started and at the time of blooming.
I have found that Uncle Sam is one
of the largest and best red-flowering
varieties. In variegated, Queen Char-
lotte cannot be excelled. The petals
are of a rich pomegranate-red, bordered
with a broad band of canary yellow.
Queen Charlotte is an exceedingly free
bloomer. C. E. Hays.
SEEDS IN FLOWER STOSES.
There are many hardware stores that
handle seeds as a side line and find
the annexation to the regular business
highly profitable. I have often won-
dered, therefore, why florists located in
country towns tnat have no regular seed
stores have not grasped this opportu-
nity of additional profits. Surely the
florist can give better and more satis-
factory service in this respect than the
hardware dealer. Next to the seeds-
man, the florist undoubtedly is the best
man for the business. The objection
-CP;
that the florist would require an extra
man is easily disposed of; if the hard-
ware 'dealer can afford an extra man
for the seed department, the florist can.
I have charge of a seed department
in a hardware store, and it is a big
paying business, too. I am a seedsman
and eight years ago I saw an opportu-
nity in the town in which I live. I
went to a "most progressive" florist
and laid my proposition before him. I
wanted to sell seeds in his store. He,
however, could not see things my way
at all. Now there are two flower stores
in town and my seed and poultry de-
partment. The "most progressive"
florist quit business long ago. I would
rather have opened my seed business in
connection with the flower store, be-
cause seeds surely go better with flow-
ers and plants than with nails and
paint. Being a seedsman, I like to see
growing things about me rather than
hardware.
Every florist doing business in a town
in which there is no regular seed store
should think this over. If there is a
hardware store in town that has a seed
department the florist need not fear
competition, for seeds in a hardware
store, without a seedsman in charge, are
no competition whatever. In one of the
finest hardware stores in Lancaster
there is a seed department, but I know
that any man or woman with some
consideration for his or her garden
would not buy seeds in that store if
there was a flower store in town with
a properly handled seed department.
There are two other hardware stores
that handle seeds, each evidently doing
enough business to make it worth while.
What couldn't a wide-awake florist do!

towns that have no stores exclusively
devoted to seeds. S. Mann.

OBITUARY
Albert Boper.
Albert Eoper was attacked in his
greenhouse at Tewksbury, Mass., March
1, and beaten to death. There were
evidences of a terrific struggle. The
identity of his assailant has not yet
been established, but the police are
holding one of Mr. Roper's sons. The
news created a great sensation in trade
circles in Massachusetts. On every
hand expressions of sympathy and deep
regret are heard at the untimely pass-
ing of one of our ablest growers and
most skillful carnation hybridists.
Mr. Roper was born in England fifty-
five years ago and came to America in
1880. He first worked for John Jones,
Madison, N. J., later going to John N.
May's, Summit, N. J. For a time he
managed a commercial plant in Albany,
N. Y. Later he went to Tewksbury,
Mass., as grower for M. A. Patten;
from there he went to Shepard Gardens,
Lowell, Mass. He started in business
at Tewksbury twenty years ago and has
always specialized in carnations.
Fair Maid and other novelties were
raised here. Alice Coombs, the winner
of quite a number of gold and silver
medals, originated here, as did Grace,
Commonwealth and other varieties not
yet in commerce, but all of merit. A
cerise-pink seedling, which was to have
been introduced next season, is a won-
der and will easily put all existing va-
rieties of that shade in the background.
Other novelties were coming along, and
the writer spent several hours with Mr.
Roper the day before his death examin-
ing and commenting on these.
The deceased was a most unassuming
man. He was ever ready to impart
information regarding his favorite
flower. He seemed to have an intuition
for desirable crosses and a surprisingly
large number of his crosses were valu-
able ones. The quality of his flowers
was well known and he always secured
a fancy price in Boston, where his
produce was sold at the Flower Ex-
change. Mr. Roper was a member of
the American Carnation Society and a
regular attendant at its conventions.
He was at the St. Louis convention and
later visited Richmond, Indianapolis,
Chicago and other carnation centers.
He was a member of the Gardeners ' and
Florists' Club of Boston, and a regular
attendant and exhibitor on carnation
nights. He leaves a widow, five sons
and a daughter. Three sons are in the
business and it is hoped they can suc-
cessfully carry on their father's estab-
lishment, on which he had labored so
hard. Funeral services were held in
Tewksbury March 5, and, at the wish
of the family, were private. There
were many beautiful floral tributes
from the wholesale flower markets. Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club, retailers and
many others, testifying the esteem in
which he was held. The bearers were
Peter Fisher, of Ellis; William Nichol-
son, W. R. Nicholson and S. J. God-
dard, of Framingham ; Lewis Smith and
Louis E. Small, of Tewksbury.

like of which we have not felt for
many a day. Genial, unassuming Al-
bert Roper, we can hardly realize that
we are not to see him again at our con-
ventions. We cannot recall a meeting
in recent years that he has not attended
and he surely will be missed. Truly,
the carnation has lost an ardent advo-
cate and the American Carnation So-
ciety a loyal member and a stanch
supporter. May his soul rest in peace.

however, that while you can have a few
flowers of P. malacoides for Christmas,
it is not possible to have presentable

Results bring advertising.
The Beview brings results.
A TEXTILE trades authority states that
the ribbon market has advanced thirty
to forty per cent from the low point of
last year.
Growers who can supply rooted cut-
tings of Pink Delight carnation should
tell the trade about it through The Re-
view; there are plenty of buyers.
American Beauty is dropping out of
the cut flower markets one by one. In
several important cities the supply of this
erstwhile leader has become so small and
irregular that prices can no longer be
regularly quoted.
Nearly everything the florist uses, ex-
cept advertising to the trade, is going
up in price. But advertising actually
grows less costly year by year because of
The Review's success in giving steadily
improved service without raising its rates.
Conditions change. In the days of not
so long ago a new carnation, or any other
novelty, frequently had its largest sale in
its introductory year. Now it is quite
the usual thing for a novelty to have its
largest sale in its second or third year.
FATHERS' DAY IN OKLAHOMA.
Fathers' day has broken out again.
This time it was in Oklahoma, and what
do you think they chose as father's
flower? The violet!
It ifl reported by Oklahoma florists
that the demand for violets on Fathers'
day much exceeded the supply, but we
never yet have seen anyone who was

HONORABLE MENTION.
Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Review $2, $3, or some-
times $5, instead of the dollar bill that
insures fifty-two visits of the paper.
Among those who have this week en-
rolled themselves for more than one
year in advance are:
three years.
Bohn, W. W., Wernersvllle, Ta.
TWO YEARS.

The Review stops coming when the

tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.
BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.
Brooklyn, N. Y. — Bonnet & Blake ob-
tained judgment February 14 against
the firm of Dusmanes Bros., who have
been doing business -at 257 Duffield
street and 260 De Kalb avenue. The
amount of the judgment was $800. Two
(lays after this judgment was obtained,
the firm filed a petition in bankruptcy,
assets, $8; Mabilities, $1,800. The stock
in both stores was sold March 2 by the
referee.
AGAIN, CAN YOU BEAT IT? :-
■wt
The ease with which a plantsman
may dispose of surplus stock through
The Review depends not at all on the
location of the advertiser — it works as
well for the east and the west. Like
this:
East — "I'lensp cut out our camja ail; as \vc are
sold out and don't like to n-tnrii so many checks;
isn't it sad to have to part with money Just
iH'cauKo one can't fill any more orders!" — Fair-
view Greenhouses, Milton, Pa., February 27,
inic.
Central — I have sold my entire surplus of
;:• ranlunis through my ail in The Review:, your
ml columns are sure business getters. — W. T.
Johnson, Momcnce, III., February 28, 1916.
Far West — We are much pleased with the
results obtaiued from our plant advertisements
in The Review; orders have come in freely and
from a wide range of territory. — Gprmain Seed &
Plant Co., I.os Angeles, Cal., February 2'>, lOlfi.
AVhen you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
monev elsewhere than in The Review.
FORGET IT.
Florists at Shreveport, La., have sent
The Review a number of clippings from
local newspapers dealing with the sub-
ject of the use of flowers at funerals.
It appears that someone there has sug-
gested that the sending of flowers to
funerals be abandoned and that the
money be applied to some purpose close
to the interests of those starting the
"crusade." That's one way to raise
money! And of course flower lovers
and those wh«>- jpprove ' ' the graceful
custom of sending flowers" have been
writing letters to the newspapers. With
the inevitable result of prolonging the
discussion.
Every little while this opposition to
funeral flowers breaks out in some town
or other. Almost always the Agitat|o|i
is started by one who wants the money
diverted to some other use. If florists
and flower lovers rise to the defense
of the custom the result is that the
discussion becomes quite warm and is
considerably prolonged. If the florist*
and friends of flowers keep nice and
quiet the agitation promptly flatten*
out. The message flowers carry to .the-
bereaved is too eloquent for any agita-
tion against it to make any headway
unopposed. Forget it.
WHAT D'YE MEAN, EXPERT?
The federal experts are in trouble-
in Iowa. The seedsmen of the state
and the experts do not agree on the-
proper time for planting grass seeds..
This was taken from a Des Moines, la.^
newspaper:
"Plant your lawn right now." — United States.
Department of Agriculture. f
"Ilon't do anything of the kind. There's
nothing to be gained in Des Moines l)y it." —
Local seed dealers.
While neither front nor back yard shows any-
slgns of Jhawing, and there are ashes on the-
lawnmower in the cellar, along romes the I'nited
States Department of .Agriculture and says it
is time to seed a lawn.
No, it does not meau that you shovel off the-
Inwii, put in the jtrass seed and then sliover
the ice back on again. Not at all. Just put
it on the ice.
"It is too early for seed sowing iu Iowa.""
said the seedsman in the Iowa Seed Store ves-
tinlay. "For beat results I woulil not advise
sowing of grass seefl for several weeks."
At Minneapolis, Winona and Roch-
ester, Minn., the seedsmen, nurseryme»
and florists unanynously disagree with
the flower seed specialists of the govern-
ment over a bulletin urging the public
to start flowering plants at once-
"They are nearly thirty days too early
with their advice," declared T. C-
Rogers, secretary of the Minnesota Flo-
rists' Association. Perhaps the bulletin
was mailed by mistake. There is much
excitement at Washington these days.""
UNCLE SAM NOT SATISFIED.
The government is not satisfied that
the duty on tulip bulbs should be 50-
cents per thousand as ordered in the
decision of the Court of Customs Ap-
peals handed dovv-n .January 28 and pub-
lished in full in The Review for Feb-
ruary 3. The action of this court is;
final, except that sometimes when the
Treasury Department is not satisfied as^
to the correctness of a decision it sim-
ply ignores the action of the court until
other cases can be brought up and a
reversal of judgment secured. This is-
being done in the tulip case. The order
of the Treasury Department, instructing
collectors to continue assessing duty
at $1 per thousand, will be found on
page 66 of this issue.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
A few days of nipping cold weather-
had a most salutary effect on the Chi-
cago market, producing a change of
conditions quite unlike those existing a
week ago. An appreciable shortening
of supply in staple items and a regen-
eration of demand, both shipping and
local, has again caused a stiffening in
prices and a more generally satisfac-
tory state of affairs. Some of the ship-
ping demand is probably attributable
to the Mardi Gras.
Beauties alone seem to constitute an
exception to the general rule of change.
They- remain equally short in supply
and weak in demand. Other roses are
hioving well, and, regardless of variety,
are proving good property, although
prices were low last week. Russell is
the leader now.
Really first-class carnations are de-

work with the assurance we shall be able to keep
you supplied from this time on. We have all
colors in quantity, long, medium, short, and the
prices are reasonable. Use them in quantity ; they will
sell splendidly.
Easter Lilies, $8.00 to $10.00
Our Giganteum Lilies are home-grown, from the best bulbs

Emperor is the best Jonquil on the market today. We have a
large supply and offer them at prices no higher than you may be
asked for inferior varieties. Also plenty of DaflFs and Tulips.
Carnations
The quality of our Carna-
tions is extremely good and the
supply is the largest of the
season to date— we can fill all
orders.
Freesia
You will like our Freesia, es-
pecially the Rainbow Freesia,
offered in a dozen bright colors.
Try a shipment at $3.00 per
100; you'll be back for more.
The Newer Roses
You can order of us all the Roses you need — after an unprece-
dented winter shortage we can again fill all orders at moderate
prices. On fancy long Roses we are specially strong on Russell,
Killarney Brilliant, Ward, Ophelia, Killarney and White Killarney.

cidedly short of the demand. Enchant-
ress, of all the varieties, is available
in quantity. Splits still form a dis-
agreeably large proportion of the re-
ceipts. However, the wholesalers are
experiencing little difficulty in dispos-
ing of their carnations, but the buyer
must be up betimes and on the job if
he wishes to secure good stock for his
customers.
Bulbous stock is erratic in supply,
one day plentiful and the next day
short. Taking it by and large, though,
there is always enough available to sat-
isfy the demand. Paper Whites are al-
most a memory. Callas are reveling
in a season of unwonted popularity.
Easter lilies pursiiW the even tenor of
their way, undisturbed by the change
about them, and finding their place on
the unusually large number of funeral
orders. Violets are sufficiently numer-
ous to meet the demand, to say the
least; the average price last week was
the lowest of the season. The sweet
pea situation is much easier, as there
is a large supply of excellent stock on
the market. Calendula remains short.
Snapdragon is arriving in quantity and
moves readily. Cattleyas are short
enough to be much sought. Valley
growers, following their usual "safety
first" policy, have their product well
on the abort side of the market this
week.
Greens, in harmony with the general
market, are moving in a highly satis-
factory manner.
Various Notes.
The interest of C. L. Sb«rer in the

Kruchten, Jr., who will succeed him as
secretary. Mr. Sharer will hereafter be
identified with the firm of Kyle &

Now is the time to shop around. Pon't do your shopping
while the holiday rush is on.
If you have bought from us, you know. If you have not, now
is the time to try us. True, stock is a bit less plentiful,
but we are still well supplied.
A trial order now, just a small one, will put us both in the
position where we will know what to do when the holiday
rush is with us, and stock is scarce and costly, and time
is valuable.
A house that has stood for over thirty years is worth trying.

Haeger, who has been acting in the
capacity of manager, was read and ac-
cepted. Meetings will be held at regu-
lar intervals in the future, the dates
to be announced later.
The scarcity of good tulips is com-
mented on by John Michelsen, of the
:E. C. Amling Co., who says he never
has seen a year in which they were
;80 much sought at this season.
' At Park Ridge Otto Starnitchy, who
is not a large grower but a painstaking
jone, is having excellent success with
carnations this season. His White Per-
ifection are unusually good.
; The sales force of the J. A. Budlong
.nouse has been increased by the addi-
j'ion of Henry Weis, formerly with the
; 'oehlmann Bros. Co.
I While there are many local growers
•who are cutting good Russell, none has
better stock than the extra long-
stemmed flowers in Emil Buettner's
crop. Mr. Buettner has revised his
ideas about this variety.
The telephone service of the A. L.
Randall Co. has been increased to eleven
trunk lines. The switchboard has
thirty house lines. Henry Neighbour,
chief accountant, is feeling like him-
self again, after a stay in hospital for
a minor operation and a period of con-
valescence. R. G. Parker again is a
member of the sales force. Eric John-
son is back from West Baden.
A. T. Pyfer comments that few grow-
ers are having better success this year
than are Kirscht Bros,, at Morton
Grove. They specialize on carnations,
Enchantress, White Enchantress, White
Wonder and Victory.
Among those who will attend the Na-
tional Flower Show in Philadelphia

P. L. McKee, of the American Green-

valve, fitting, boiler and pipe manufac-

the entire working force of the com-
pany. The idea of the firm is to get
every member of the office and sales
force thoroughly acquainted with the
smallest detail in material, construction
and heating. Mr. McKee plans to
make these talks or lectures a part of
the weekly program, believing that a
salesman should know the why and
wherefore as well as the how much.

MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Owing to the bright, warm weather,
the supply of stock in general is in-
creasing and there is a sufficiency of
most kinds to take care of the demand,
which is not extra heavy at this time.
Boses are coming in more plentifully
and their quality is good. Eussells seem
to be the only variety that is scarce,
and the shorter stock especially is not
sufficient to -^11 all orders. Carnations
are in fine shape and are not so plenti-
ful. They realized better prices last
week than during several previous
weeks.
There is an abundance of bulbous
stock on the market, which is being
disposed of at fair prices. The warm
weather is bringing in sweet peas and
violets in large quantities, and the sur-
plus is not moving as readily as one
would like to see. The quality is fine,
but the extremely large supply is keep-
ing the price down below normal. Val-
ley still is somewhat scarce, but it is
coming in better than it has for some
time. Greens are not plentiful and the
shortage of adiantum and Sprengeri is
especially felt. The sale of pot plants
is extra good and this end of the busi-
ness is doing well.

Milwaukee last week handled one of
the biggest bazaars in the history of

job for some time to complete the work.
Milwaukee florists and those from the
surrounding towns donated liberally to
the flower booth, A mock police force
was inaugurated and brought much add-
ed revenue. William R. Schroeder, of
the Schroeder Floral Co., was made
judge and fined all those brought be-
fore him by the policewomen, for they
had girl "cops." N. Zweifel was chief
of police and saw to it that few escaped
the police dragnet. The bazaar was a
huge success and the florists played no
minor part in making it so. H. J. S.

cdmplaint. The abnormal cold of Feb-
ruary ate into the coal supply unex-
pefetedly, but the end of extremely cold
weather is in sight.
American Beauties are short in sup-
ply and few are long in quality. As
high as $75 per hundred was paid last
week for first-class flowers. Hadley is
retaining its splendid record and so are
Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty and Prima
Donna. The other novelties are holding
fairly well. Of the older varieties, the
prices for the long-stemmed are lower.
For the short-stemmed there has been
nothing offered under $2 per hundred.
Only the novelties in carnations have
sold above $2 per hundred. The best
hundred of these could be purchased at
any time for $3. Large shipments of
carnations are anticipated for the week
and present quotations are likely to be
maintained. Orchids are steady at last
week's figures, which are more satis-
factory to the growers than during Feb-
ruary. Gardenias have not been in
surplus at any time and the prices
maintain their regular winter average.
Valley has been strong, some extra
stock bringing as high as $4 per hun-
dred. Lilies must be perfect to secure
$10 per hundred. Most of the arrivals
sell from $8 down to $5. Violets have
been stronger, dependent upon quality.
Better values are likely during March
and until after Easter. The street mer-
chants easily absorb the overflow,
which has not been excessive at any
time this year.
The Spencer sweet peas are superb
and the market takes care of them
easily. Callas are lower and abundant.
Freesia, too, is unlimited, and most of
it is excellent, especially Purity. Daf-
fodils are abundant and the prices are
steady. It will be several weeks be-
fore the south begins its shipments. Of
tijlips there is no end; this week there
will be a flood of them. Only the best
are in favor. Daisies, forget-me-nots,
pansies, stocks, primula, bouvardia and
wallflowers, all these harbingers of
spring, are here.

The Market.
Market conditions last week were
like those of the week previous. There
did not seem to be any decrease in
the glut, and what was scarce before
is scarce now. Beauties were in great
demand last week and few were to be
had. There have not been enough
Beauties in the BuflFalo market during
the last two weeks to convince anyone
that there were any at all. Other roses
are in ample supply, although no one
color appears to be too plentiful. There
was no decrease in the carnation supply.
The blooms of inferior quality certainly
were overabundant.
Bulbous stock continues to move nice-
ly. Jonquils and daffodils hold their
own, although they seem to predomi-
nate in their class. Paper Whites are
on the wane, while poeticus narcissi are
becoming more of a feature. Single
white and yellow tulips continue along
the same channel. Couronne d'Or is
in great demand and selling at a good
price. Easter lilies advance one week
and recede the next, not, however, mak-
ing much difference in price. Callas
are not arriving so heavily. Some ex-
cellent peas now are finding their way
into the market and are enjoying a
great sale. Many of the inferior grades,
however, are overlooked. Cattleyas and
valley remain decidedly scarce. Mis-

After totaling up everything, Theo-

increase in business over that of the

On my visit to the South park con-

for the better. Mr. Elbert, the man-
ager, has devoted a house to exhibi-

to inform the public when certain fea-

The Market.
The pre-Lenten season has closed,
leaving the market meagerly supplied
with flowers. There has been no espe-
cial rush. A few large affairs, some
smaller ones, and the general run of
business have consumed the stock com-
ing into the city, at good prices. Lilac
and valley have been quite scarce.
Sweet peas were more plentiful, the or-
chid variety monopolizing the business
at good figures. Cattleyas are firmer; the
winter variety is nearly over and the
spring sort has gradually taken its
placie. Daffodils are passing from the
Golden Spur, or early single, sort to
Emperor, now fine, and a few Victoria,
also of high quality. Carnations have
been in short supply. Oddly enough,
the finest really command more than
the select; $4 per hundred appears to
be about the limit in price now. Corn-
flower is arriving in moderate quan-
tity; it meets a good demand. There
is no other marked feature outside of
roses, of which white are less plentiful
and more eagerly sought than pink,
commanding a better average price on
all grades. Red is scarce. Beauties
are particularly difficult to obtain.
Easter lilies and callas have been used
in large quantities. The 100 days of
the season, covering the time from
Thanksgiving to Ash Wednesday, have
been very satisfactory, considering the
terrible war conditions in Europe, with
their effect on this country. Good
judges believe that there will be an
active market for flowers during Lent
as long as the present wintry weather
prevails.

A Decoration of Today.
The flower shop of J. J. Habermehl's
Sons, in the Bellevue-Stratford, was a
brilliantly lit scene of activity. There
was that tense air of absorption that
denotes a press of work that must be
finished on time. Despite that fact,
John P. Habermehl was as quiet and
as cordial in his welcome as though
there was nothing on his mind. No,
he was not too busy; he would act as
escort himself to the ballroom upstairs.
A short trip through wide corridors,
up in the elevator, then a short walk
past private dining rooms, where snowy
cloths covered with plate and silver
and flowers were receiving final
touches, to the handsome ballroom be-
yond. Edward N. Habermehl stood in
the center, critically surveying the re-
sults of two days' hard work for him-
self and a large corps of assistants.
The effect was beautiful. Eather more
elaborate than usual at the second as-
sembly, the great closing ball of the
great social season; elaborate with a
definite purpose. The floor was in-
tended exclusively for dancing and
promenading between the dances. The
decorations were intended not only for
beautiful backgrounds but also to give
the impression of distance. That is, to
convey the idea that the handsome
palms and araucarias extended far
away, as in a tropical garden. This
was done by means of plants and vines
in the balconies so arranged as to form
a dense yet graceful stretch of green
that extended from the floor to a con-
siderable height, receding as it rose.
The flowers used were most effective.
It was not so much wliat they were as
how well they were brought out. Pink
lilies graced the columns. Pink carna-
tions, Mrs. C. W. Ward, hung from
above. Pink azaleas occupied a van-

tage point in front of the music. The
crowning feature was the fountain of
real water, with its peach blossoms
that came and went and changed in
glowing colors. A self-feeding foun-
tain that required two motors, one for
the water, the other for the lights.
Then John P. Habermehl led the
way from the ballroom to the clover
room. The way was over a rustic
bridge so cunningly contrived that an
involuntary glance over the side was
needed to make sure there was no
brook beneath. The path over the
bridge led to the garden beyond, a
dream of delight. The vine-clad arbors,

the blooming, giant azaleas, the great
bed of tulips around the fountain, the
soft grass mat walks — all were per-
fect. The paths led in and out among
beds of flowers to rustic seats half con-
cealed by foliage — "For holding
hands," Mr. Habermehl gaily remarked.
The whole formed a decoration, in
beauty, conception and execution, in
every detail, surpassing anything ever
seen in this city.
The Club's Sweet Pea Night.
A large and extremely enthusiastic
meeting of the Florists' Club was held
at Horticultural hall on the evening of
March 7. National Flower Show af-
fairs were discussed and Howard M.
Earl delivered his talk on the sweet
pea. It was sweet pea night and a
wonderful exhibition of orchid-flower-
ing varieties was staged.
The Gude Bros. Co., of Washington,
D. C, exhibited eighty-one orchid peas.
A. Harvey & Son, of Brandywine Sum-
mit, Pa.; Walter Scarlett, Yeatman &
Way, both of Kennett Square, Pa., and
others staged vases of fine peas. The
Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of Pitts-
burgh, sent Eose Antoine Kivoire and
the Gude Bros. Co. also showed Mock,
Radiance and Red Radiance.
Various Notes.
R. T. Brown, of the Cottage Gardens
Co., Queens, N. Y., did not receive a
notification that he was expected to
speak before the Philadelphia Florists'
Club, on the newer carnations, Tuesday
evening, February 1.
Walter Davis closed his wholesale
florists' store at 1713 Ranstead street
Tuesday, February 29. Mr. Davis, who
is suffering from the effects of an in-
jury to his head, received some time
ago when struck by a wildly driven
motor, is in the hospital for treatment.
While the injury did not seem serious
at the time, the pain resulting from it
has been persistently annoying.
The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is
handling the consignments and business
of Walter Davis. There are shipments
of exceptionally fine lilac and Yarrawa
sweet peas.
Fred J. Michell, Sr., accompanied by
Mrs. Michell and Miss Michell, left
March 1 for a short sojourn in Ber-
muda. This is Mr. Michell 's first real
holiday in many years of hard work.
His friends, one and all, wish him a
delightful time.
The M. Rice Co. is perfecting plans
for its 3-square move to 1220 Spring
Garden street, next summer. The com-
pany is pleased that the director of
work plans turning Spring Garden
street, from Twelfth to Broad, into a
modern boulevard.
William Swayne, of Kennett Square,
during the closing days of the season
sent some superb apple blossoms and
yellow and white snapdragons to Wil-
liam J. Baker.
Jacob Duetscher, that genial com-
moner, says that March 4 was a red-

The Market.
Trade is heavy, with funeral work
easily in the lead. Boses have been
coming in more plentifully and their
quality is good. There is a scarcity of
yellow at times, but as a rule the colors
even up about right. Beauties have
been scarce and the demand for them
has been light. Carnations are in
heavy crop and some cut prices were in
evidence last week, but most of them
have brought a fair price until this
time. Bulbous stock is abundant and
cuts a big figure on the market. It is,
however, cleaned up nicely. Sweet
peas are plentiful and there have been
cuts in prices. The quality has been
extra good. Valley has been scarce in
this market, with the demand heavy at
times. Lilies are more plentiful and
the demand is fair.
Various Notes.
Stephens & Son report business at
Greenlawn as being heavy, with a con-
tinual round of funeral work.
T. J. Ludwig has had a run on car-
nations and sweet peas to good ad-
vantage.
The Livingston Seed Co. has every-
thing in order for the spring rush,
which is not far distant. The store has

rather lightly of roses and carnations,

moving nicely.

The cold, cloudy days last week had
a marked effect on the production of
flowers, and there was a scarcity in
many lines. It was found impossible
to fill all orders for single violets and
the double violets from the north were
received in bad shape. Business is good
and the retailers are using a majority

offered. Orchids are scarce but are in
light demand. Gardenias still are in
short supply.
Last week was noted for the number
of dinners, teas, receptions and other
social events calling for flowers. Many
of these were elaborate and the florists
are well pleased with results. The
shipping orders from out-of-town points
were heavy and one concern furnished

Business is fair. The supply is large
enough for all present needs; the de-
mand is just ordinary. Shipping busi-
ness, however, is good. The receipts of
roses are suflScient for requirements and
include some fine blooms. The carna-
tion supply remains unchanged. Easter
lilies, callas and rubrums are plentiful
and of excellent quality. Sweet peas,
too, are plentiful. The bulbous offerings
include fine Dutch hyacinths, tulips,
both double and single, jonquils, daffo-
dils and freesias. Valley may be had
in large quantities and is excellent.
Among the other stock offered are or-

Business in general is unusually good,
the volume of business at times far

are a wonderful help and now are at

stores much. Stock is plentiful and of
fairly good quality, with the exception
of sweet peas. Many spring flowers
are coming in and are most in demand.
Various Notes.
E. Mulick, of the Greenville Floral
Co., Greenville, was a recent visitor,
and purchased while here material for
the erection of 100,000 square feet of
greenhouses, to be added to his range
at Greenville.
James Schols made a record-breaking
pick of violets March 3, picking 1,600
bunches, twenty-five in a bunch, for the
Shriners' ball.
Henry Smith has been on the sick
list for a week, but is at the store
again. Miss Frances Robinson, of the
Smith store force, is at her home in
Lament caring for her father, who has
been ill.
Crabb & Hunter have opened a branch
in the Pantlind hotel.
A. F. Crabb furnished twenty-five
cases of southern smilax and 1,000
pounds of pine boughs for the automo-
bile show. A. F. C.
MOONFLOWERS IN HAWAII. •
I am enclosing two seeds which I
think are seeds of the moonflower. The
vine is a rapid grower, but has no
blooms to amount to anything. I have
seen only one bloom, which was a large
white one. Please tell me the name
of this, and how to treat it so that it
will produce flowers. T. A. H. — H. T.
The seeds are those of the moon-
flower, botanically known as Ipomoea
grandiflora alba. The culture of this
plant should be comparatively easy in
so favored a latitude as you have in
the Hawaiian islands. It delights in a
rich soil and a sunny location. Given
these conditions and something suitable
to cling to, it should flower with free-
dom, opening its large white flowers in
the evenings and on dull days. C. W.
Hagerstown, Md. — Henry A. Bester
& Sons will rebuild the greenhouses
recently damaged by fire.
Wichita, Kan. — Elwood Kline has re-
turned to Wichita after an absence of
several vears. He now is employed by
W. H. Gulp & Co.

The Market.
The arrival of Lent -finds the flower
market in a good condition. There have
been poor days as well as good days of
late. We continue to have frequent
snow storms and they cripple the retail
trade more or less. Everything consid-
ered, there is little cause for grumbling.
Rosps continue to clean up nicely, with
a somewhat lower tendency in prices.
Beauties remain scarce, but they are
not missed while other varieties are
abundant. "White roses still sell poorly,
but colored hybrid teas, such as Eussell,
Hadley, Francis Scott Key, Ophelia
and Sunburst, sell well. Ward now is
coming in of much better quality and
it proves a good seller. Some nice
Maryland, Stanley, Milady and Taf t are
among the other sorts seen. Carnations
of splendid quality are abundant and
there has been little change in prices
of late. Violets are plentiful and low
in price. The present month will finish
the singles.
Snapdragons are arriving more freely.
Pink shades clean up more quickly than
whites and yellows. Of bulbous flowers
there is a heavy supply, with lower
prices, but the clean-up is satisfactory.
The finest Spencer peas of the season
now are obtainable. These bring as
high as $2 per hundred. The grandi-
floras run»as low as 35 cents to 50 cents
per hundred. Cornflowers continue
popular. Yellow marguerites are more
abundant, but they sell well. Callas
and Easter lilies remain about the same.
Good specimen lilies are coming in.
Valley sells at $2 to $4 per hundred.
Gardenias are lower in price and more

abundant. In addition to Cattleya
TriansB, C. SchroederaB now is available.
It is not a popular variety, however.
Dendrobiums, cypripediums, phalsenop-
sis and ccelogynes are other orchids of-
fered. Both Asparagus plumosus and
Sprengeri sell remarkably well, espe-
cially the last named.
In pot plants the sale of pans of
bulbous stock is heavy. More pans of
Darwin tulips than ever before are seen.
Boses, lilacs, schizanthus, acacias,
cinerarias, French hydrangeas, genistas
and various deciduous flowering shrubs
are offered. Quite a few shamrocks are
to be seen, but the sales of these have
declined, compared with those of a
few years ago.
Various Notes.
N. E. Boyle has 10,500 giganteum
lilies starting to show buds. He is cut-
ting an excellent crop of Ophelia,
White Killarney, Double White Killar-
ney, Ward, Hadley and Sunburst roses.
Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Patten, of Tewks-
bury, left February 26 for a month's
stay in Florida. Mr. Patten's health
has not been good for some time and
it is hoped the trip will materially bene-
fit him.

were unfortunate enough to have a
house of nephrolepis frozen during a
recent cold wave.
K. E. Cuniniings, of Woburn, will fin-

at the end of March. His houses of
single violets also will be exhausted at
that time. He will follow with cucum-
liers and tomatoes.

T. D. Hatfield's lecture at Horticul-
tural hall March 4, on the propagation
of plants, with practical demonstrations,
was intensely interesting, and it was
regrettable that the audience was a
small one. Not more than six florists
and gardeners were noted in the audi-
ence of 100 or thereabouts. Numerous
specimens of greenhouse plants, ever-
greens, deciduous shrubs, ferns, etc.,
propagated from cuttings, leaves,
spores, seeds, grafts, buds, roots, etc.,
were passed around for the audience to
examine, and the lecture was one of
the best delivered here of late years.

shipments of superb Francis Scott Key,
Maryland, Sunburst, a deep sport of
Sunburst, Stanley, Russell, Hadley and
Ophelia. This concern also has fine
Ward and Milady roses. Gardenias still
are good.
Thomas Capers, of Wellesley Hills,
has had his most successful season with
carnations. His leaders are Alice,
Beacon, White Wonder and Benora.
The Westboro Greenhouses, of which
Paul F. Brigham is proprietor, in addi-
tion to a fine line of carnations, have
a splendid cut of snapdragons and
Spencer peas.
The tragic death of Albert Roper
March 1, which is recorded in this
week's obituary column, has been the
chief topic of the week here. Mr.
Roper attended the Flower Exchange
the morning of the day on which he
was murdered. The deepest sympathy is
felt for the family. The output of the
greenhouses is at present being sold by
George Marshall.
John W. Foote, of Reading, is cutting
a grand crop of Pink Delight, Beacon
and White Wonder carnations.
W. T. Walke, of Salem, and Frank
Edgar, of Waverley, have been sending

The Newton Eose Conservatories are

which sell well; also good myosotis.
The Boston spring show opens March
17. While the schedule is somewhat
restricted compared with former years,
in courtesy to the Philadelphia show,
there nevertheless will be a fine exhibi-
tion. The $50 cup offered by the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club for ten cycla-
mens will attract a strong entry.
Robert Hutcheon, of Stoughton, is
sending in a fine lot of Darwin tulips
and Empress narcissi.
Richard D. Kimball, of Waban, has a
pink snapdragon, bright in color, which
is a wonderful seller. Pink snapdragons
do not bloom in winter like the white
and yellow ones. It is up to someone
to create a real winter bloomer of this
color.
At the store of Patrick Welch excel-
lent roses, valley, cattleyas, marguerites
and other flowers are coming in, and
business is said to be excellent.
The Scituate Greenhouses, Scituate,
Mass., are sending in a first-class crop
of white and yellow snapdragons.
Recent visitors included Mr. and Mrs.
C. S. Strout, of Biddeford, Me.; A. N.

The Market.
March came in like a lion and we
hope it will go out like a lamb. Last
week we had much snow and wind,
which had a bad effect on the retail
trade all over the city. In the last few
days before Lent, when society works
overtime, business should have been
;good.
The market was well supplied all the
week and prices remained up on all
extra quality stock, but the demand
was not so heavy as it should have
been. Boses were plentiful all the week,
but the quotations were unchanged and
were considered high. Killarneys are
in the majority, while the fancy sorts
in Russell, Sunburst, Ward and Ophelia
were hardly plentiful enough to go
around. Beauties, too, are not any too
plentiful. The rancy grades of En-
chantress, White Wonder, Mrs. Ward
and Beacon carnations went up to $4
per hundred as the dark weather cut
down the big supply that was expected.
Violets were in heavy supply all the
week and did not move as they should.

and low prices prevailed. Extra fancy
brought 35 cents per hundred. The mis-
cellaneous flowers, jonquils, sweet peas,
tulips, freesias, valley, Easter lilies,
daisies, snapdragons and mignonette,
had their usual good call and prices on
these remained stationary in small lots.
Southern jonquils are not taking so
well, for home-grown stock is of bet-
ter quality. In greens, plumosus,
smilax, Sprengeri and galax had the
call and the market is well supplied
with these.
Various Notes.
The W. W. Stertzing range, at 7280
Manchester avenue, was damaged to the
extent of $800 by an explosion of dyna-
mite in Maplewood last week. All the
glass wag blown out and the plants
were badly cut by falling glass. Theo-
dore Browne, another florist, at 7016
Manchester avenue, escaped with only
a few panes of broken glass and con-
sidered himself lucky, as all his neigh-
bors lost heavily. Mr. Stertzing had
no insurance to cover this kind of loss.
Edwin Niebling has been appointed
administrator of the estate of the late
Conrad Bergstermann, by Probate court.
The business has been taken over by
Oscar Euff and the name of the busi-
nesS-^wiUnot be changed. Mr. Niebling
is a stepsTm of Mr. Bergstermann, and
Mr. Ruff is his son-in-law.
The officers of the Florists' Club
held their monthly conference at Secre-
tary Beneke's home March 2 and
mapped out a lively program for this
week 's dub meeting. All the officers
were present and had a pleasant eve-
ning.
The March floral display in the big
conservatories at the Missouri Botan-
ical Garden will be composed of 2,000
plants of cinerarias. These plants have
become immensely popular with the
public. They resemble the single-flow-
ereil chrysanthemum, but surpass it in
brilliancy.
The County Growers' Association held
an interesting meeting March 1 at the
Eleven Mile House. While the attend-
ance was fairly good, the big snow
storm which started early in the day
kei>t away many of those who prom-
ised to come.
E. .). Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan ("o., and Martin Reukauf, rep-
resenting H. Bayersdorfer & (.'o., two
l)opular traveling sjilesmen of I'hila-
delphia, spent the greater part of last
week here calling on the trade.
Thomas ("arr, in spite of the big
snow storm last week, is preparing his
big ]>lant display in Union Market.
]Mr. Carr has a good trade in his cut
flower department, but plants arc his
big business.

W. J. Pilcher's big rose house in
Kirkwood is in fine shape and produc-
ing a world of excellent blooms. I
saw several thousand Russell plants
whicli soon will yield a big crop. In
another house there were fine benches
of W. R. Hearst and Mrs. W. R. Hearst.
One liouse is awaiting the arrival of
Mrs. George Shawyer roses for plant-
ing.
At the opening of the new quarters
of the Missouri Athletic Club the floral
decorations were elaborate, many plants
and floral baskets being used. The C.
Young & Sons Co. made one -of Russell
roses costing $100, which was much
admired.
Easter coming late this year, the
growers are at a loss how to hold back
their lilies. Other bulbous stock will
be nearly over by that time, espe-
cially if warm weather sets in. Vio-
lets are sure to be over by that time.
H. Lloyd, of the Shackelford Nursery
Co., says with a few warm days they
will he cutting thousands of outdoor
sjiring flowers. The snow storm will
not harm tiiem. They planted twice
as many ])lants as they had last year.
Our local nurseries, H. J. Weber &
Sons Co. and Sanders Nurseries, report
that from advance orders already
booked, they expect a tremendous
spring trade in all kinds of nursery
stock.

nick Bova at the head, will open a
flower and fruit store this week at
Seventh street, near Locust street. This
concern was formerly at Sixth and
Morgan streets. The new location is
a splendid one for a business of this
kind.
David Geddis, manager of Vander-
voort's floral department, had a force
of men at work all night March 4 and
all day March 5, decorating for the
spring opening of the big department
store. Mr. Geddis still is on the sick
list, but is improving daily.
A number of suburban florists were
seen in the wholesale district last
week mingling with the buyers. Among
those seen were Adolph Fehr, H.
Emunds, J. F. Ammann, W. J. Edwards,
Phil Goebel, Jr., P. Schneider, W. J.
Pilcher, Stephen Beer, Hugo Gross,
Chas. Meyer, S, E. Cerny, W. A. Eowe,
Joseph Hauser, John Connon, Ed. Den-
ker, F. W. Ude, Jr., Joseph Deutsch-
mann, C. Hecht and Gus Hartmann.
The first dash out of the box, a
Kirkwood correspondent stirred up a
hornet's nest in the wholesale district
when he stated that other growers soon
will follow Hugo Gross in opening a re-
tail store, if the average prices in the
local wholesale market do not advance.
Exceptions have been taken to this
statement, for not in five years have
prices on good quality stock been so
high as the prices of this season. In-

ferior stock is sold at low prices for
bargain sales. It is only natural, how-
ever, that each grower thinks his stock
the best. If the growers will grow good
quality stock they surely will receive
their share of the high prices which
have prevailed this season. If prices
Were any higher than they are the re-
tailers would suffer, and they surely
have to be taken into consideration, for
the money made by the wholesaler and
the grower comes from them.
J. J. B.
BALTIMORE.
The Market.
Business conditions last week were an
improvement over those of the week
previous. The demand was good and
steady, and, while no advance in prices
was noted, stock in general was cleaned
up closely at the close of business
Saturday. The retailers purchased the
greater part of all stock — little was
left fbr the street boys. Carnations in
white and light colors were not plen-
tiful enough for the demand. Lilies of
the Harrisii type sold well, but callas
were draggy. In roses, short and me-
diums sold early, especially such stock
as could be used in funeral pieces.
Valley has been moving well even at
a good figure, and the supply is none
too large. Bulbous stock is not moving
any too briskly. Cut hyacinths are im-
proving in quality^ and tulips are good.
Daffodils, both single and double, are
plentiful. The freesia supply is dimin-
ishing and the price is dropping.
Smilax still remains scarce, but other
greens are plentiful enough for all de-
mands.
Various Notes.
George S. Kalb, the pottery man, has
been confined to his home for nearly a
month with an attack of rheumatism.
In his absence his sons, William and
Louis, are hustling to keep the supply
up to the demand, in this, their busy
season.
T. Walter Gray is cutting a fine lot
of Golden Spur narcissi. These have
been grown rather cool and are as fine
as any coming into the local market.
E. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, has

"^^^^ ^^
Taking it by and large, the seed season
to date is good, but not so good as was
expected.
Onion is one of the articles likely any
time to be a feast or a famine. Predic-
tions are that it will be the latter next
year.
A DIVIDEND of five per cent is expected
to be ordered March 14, to creditors of
the Griswold Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb., in
bankruptcy.
The corn in country cribs has siiflfered
severely from the cold weather, its imma-
turity at harvest being more apparent to-
day than at any previous date. The farm-
ers ' awakening is apparent in the mail of
the western seed houses, which can no-
where near supply the demand.
The tenacity with which winter clings
to its position in the lap of spring makes
the mBU-order season slow or erratic. A
few mild days result in an increase in
the maU, but a return of snow and cold
promptly chedks the flow of business.
On the whole, the mail-order season still
is below normal for the date.
The William Rennie Co., Toronto, is
working night and day shifts to overcome
the delay incident to the fire of February
20, which, the company states, "caused
great loss in bulk vegetable, flower and
field root seeds, as well as filled seed
packets and cartons." The Dominion
seed commissioner, George H. Clark, is
passing on all seeds saved from the fire.
Holland bulb travelers assert that
there are more of their kind in America
today than in any previous^eason. The
explanation is that some of the travelers
are persona non grata in (Jermany or
England, where they usually spend a part
of their time, and that they have sought
the United States as the world 's onfy free
hunting ground for the commercial
marksman.
EMBARGOES AEE LIFTED.
Thinking that the following may be
of interest to your subscribers, I beg.
to advise that the writer has been en-
gaged in the effort to secure the prompt
shipment of seed supplies from the
growers, wholesalers and jobbers, to
New England points, and the lifting of
the embargo placed by the railroads on
such transportation. Some of the rail-
roads have no embargoes, but the Penn-
sylvania and the New York, New
Haven & Hartford did have such em-
bargoes. Responding to the necessities
of getting the seed supplies into the
hands of the farmers in ample time,
the Pennsylvania and the New "iork,
New Haven & Hartford have lifted
their embargoes by a special order, so

DREER'S E«fr »»«'■ SWEET PEAS
We aim to confine our list of Sweet Peas to the very best varieties and only those
which can be used by florists for cutting. We have added a number of the choicest
new^varieties of the Spencer type to our list this season.
Orchid-flowered or Spencer Sweet Peas
This type is distinguished from the grandiflora sorts by the extraordinary size of
their flowers and by the standard being crinkled and wavy. They usually bear four
blossoms on a stem, and are as easy to grow as the commonest
sorts. A fair crop the past season enables us to offer them at
prices much lower than ever before. '■*■"""''''""

that all seed supplies can now come

must be recognized that the railroads
are operating under a heavy strain, for
reasons that are well known. The will-

the seedsmen's contentions deserves

DUTY ON TXJUPS.
The Treasury Department will not
accept the decision of the Court of
Customs Appeals, as published in The
Review for February 3, making the
rate of duty on tulip bulbs 50 cents
per thousand. This is the court of
last resort in such cases, but collectors
of custom's have been instructed to
continue the assessment of duty on
tulip bulbs at the rate of $1 per thou-
sand pending the results of new cases
to be passed on by the Board of United
States General Appraisers in New
York. These instructions are contained
in a letter addressed to the collectors
of customs, reading as follows:
Treasury Department,
Washington, D. C.
I have to call your attention to the decision
of the United States Court of Customs Appeals
of January 28, 1916, T. D. 36146, In which
certain tulip bulbs, which have been assessed
with duty at the rate of fl per thousand under
the provision for "tulips" under paragraph 210
of the Tariff Act of 1813, were held by the
court to be dutiable at the rate of 50 centi
per thousand under the provision for "all other
bulbs" In the same paragraph.
The Assistant Attorney General has advised
the Department that another case Is being pre-
pared before the Board of United States Gen-
eral Appraisers in which It Is expected to Intro-
duce further testimony on the question at Issue,
Pending the judicial determination of the ques-
tion you win continue to assess duty on tulip
bulbs at the rate of $1 per thousand under
paragraph 210 of the TarlfT Act of 1013.
Respectfully,
Andrew J. Peters,
Assistant Secretary.
It will, of course, be necessary to
carry the new case to the highest court,
a ruling of the Board of. General Ap-
praisers not being enough to overthrow
the decision in question. This indi-
cates that unless some legal means is
found by which importers can compel
the Treasury Department to be guided
by the court's decision, the imports for
1917 will be assessed at the same old
rate, as another decision scarcely is to
be expected before this year 's crop will
move. 0. L. (L.

The Florists^ Review
Mabch 9, 1016.
and that never should a warranty ex-
ceed the sum paid for the seed.
As a result of action taken by the
Wisconsin Canners' Association, a spe-
cial meeting of the American Seed
Trade Association was held in the Hotel
Sherman, Chicago, March 2, for the
purpose of discii^ng seed growers'
contracts and tire nonuse of the dis-
claimer. Considering the fact that the
meeting was called practically on the
spur of the moment, it was well at-
tended and highly representative. Im-
mediately after notice of the special
meeting had been sent out, approxi-
mately 100 telegrams and letters were
received by the Chicago seed houses
from out-of-town members of the trade
who were unable to be present, vigor-
ously protesting against the danger of
leaving the disclaimer out of growers'
cpntracts. President John M. Lupton,
of Mattituck, L. I., called the meeting
to order and from 10 o'clock in the
morning until after 6 o'clock in the
evening exposition, argument and dis-
cussion followed one another in rapid
succession, the scene shifting to the
dining room at noon.
. The discussion revolved about the
acceptance, first by one seed house and
then by another, of the contract form
being circulated by members of the
Wisconsin Canners' Association for
seed peas which are to be grown for
them. This form does not contain and,
it is feared, will overthrow the well
known disclaimer of the American Seed
Trade Association. It is argued by the
supporters of the disclaimer that should
it be dropped from the contracts, the
seedsmen's only protection would be
that section of the Wisconsin law which
provides that "in all actions for dam-
age • • * if no fraud, bad faith,
or want of due care is shown on the
part of the vendor, the purchaser shall
be limited in his recovery to the
amount of the purchase price of the
seed," and this, they say, would be
leaning on a broken reed, as the ques-
tion of due care is one for a jury to
decide and, therefore, one subject to
many vicissitudes.
The sentiment of the meeting seemed
to be that the association was not in
a position to control the acts of its
members, and that it had no desire to
compel unanimity of action, but should
counsel and advise that line of con-
duct that appeared most conducive to
the welfare of its members. This sen-
timent was finally crystallized in the
following resolution:
"The seedsmen present at a conference at the
Sherman hotel, Chicago, March 2, 1910, re-
affirm and endorse the non-warranty clause
known as the Amtrican Seed Trade Association
Non-Warranty clause, and believe that all sales
or agreements of sale, wherever made, should
contain said clause.
"In those contracts of sale, or sale of seeds,
whenever, for any reason, contrary to the
recommendation of the American Seed Trade
Association, said non-warranty clause is waived,
It Is the opinion of said seedsmen that for such
waiver or non-use of said non-warranty clause,
the seller should receive an additional purchase
price for the seed by way of insurance, and
80 stated as a term of the sale or agreement
of sale, and that ttie seller should he liable,
in any event, for not more than the purchase
price of Bald leed."

BAMBOO CANES
Tall plants ought to be staked.
Easter Lilies especially should be
supported by a neat green bam-
boo cane. It prevents injury to
the plant and adds to the appear-
ance. A 33^-foot green bamboo
cane costs a trifle over half a
cent, and adds considerable to the
value of a plant tied with it. If
you want your plants to have a
nice appearance, use green bam-
boo canes. Immediate deliveries
at the following prices:

THE CATALOGUE POSTAOE BILL.
W. r. Therkildson, Philadelphia, rep-
resenting W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Phil-
adelphia; E. C. Dungan, representing
William Henry Maule, Philadelphia;
Superintendent George W. Hess, of the
United States Botanic Gardens, and
William F. Gude, national representa-
tive of the S. A. F., last week held a
conference with officials of the Post-
office Department on the proposed
postal bill, H. R. 11621, which was
printed in full in last week's issue of
The Review, whereby circulars, cata-
logues, pamphlets, price lists and other
similar printed matter, upon which pos-
tage is now paid at the rate of 1 cent
for each two ounces, may be sent in
bulk to varying addresses, irrespective
of individual weights within the limit
of four pounds, at the rate of 8 cents
per pound or fraction thereof, without
regard to zone rates. The visitors left
the' city with the belief that the postal
authorities were favorably inclined
towards the passage of a bill by Con-
gress which would make this rate pos-
sible. While in the city they called
upon several members of Congress to
urge prompt action in the matter.

THE CLOVER CROP.
The area in red clover issless today
than it has been and mucW less than
it should be, according to I the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. In the New
England states, for example, the acre-
age decreased twenty per cent in the
decade between 1899 and 1909. In
Ohio, one of the important clover states,
in 1911 it was little more than half of
what it had been in 1897. The area in
clover seed in Michigan in 1897 was
more than double the area in 1914.
During this same period the seed har-
vest in Illinois fell from 193,509 bushels
to 42,409. In short, all the figures
available from these and other states
point in one direction — to a serious de-
crease in the area devoted to red clover.
The cause of this decline in clover
growing is to be found in the increas-
ing difficulty experienced in getting a
stand and in the less satisfactory
growth of the crop when a stand is
secured.
MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.
Harry Chaapel, of Williamsport, Pa.,
finds the nursery adjunct to his seed
business decidedly profitable. Comment-
ing on the scarcity of onion seed, Mr.
Chaapel stated that experiments with
American-grown seed in Bermuda are
proving so satisfactory that California
will supersede Teneriffe, Canary isl-
ands, as a source of supply.
Beckert's Seed Store, of Allegheny,
Pa., reports a good call for seed for
early sowing. W. C. Beckert, Sr., is
recuperating in South America. Mr.
Beckert, Jr., says everything is pro-
gressing smoothly.
The I. W. Scott Co., of Pittsburgh,
predicts a top-notch business this year,
judging by the auspicious opening of
the seed season. W. M.

ADIANTUM IN CAMFOKNIA.
Kindly let me know how to treat
maidenhair ferns in the summer in or-
der to have a good cut of fronds in the
winter and good pot plants at Christ-
mas. A. F. — Cal.
In order to have adiantum fronds
for cutting next winter in California, it
is best to plant out on a bench strong
young plants from 3-inch pots during
June or July. The bench should 'con-
tain about five inches of good carna-
tion soil, and the plants should be
spaced about twelve inches apart. The
plants should be watered well after
planting, and then watered somewhat
sparingly for a time, until they get into
active growth, for too much water
early in the season may sour the soil.
Put a light shading on the glass for
the summer, but this should be off
again by the end of October. Keep a
night temperature of 60 degrees, but
ventilate both day and night as long
as the weather will permit. Similar
conditions to those noted above will
answer for the pot plants, though they
may require more watering to keep
them in good condition, and when they
are well rooted an occasional water-
ing with weak liquid manure will be
beneficial. W. H. T.
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
Although the supply of flowers has
increased at least threefold, the whole-
sale houses are cleaning up fairly well
and the retailers are making the best
of the fine supply by keeping their
stores attractive. A large proportion
of the stock now coming in is of first-
rate quality, the cool night insuring its
keeping well, and this enables the re-
tailer to buy fairly heavily, make a
good show and then use the stock in
funeral work, which has kept up re-
markably well. As it stands, the grower
is getting a fair price for his stock, and
both wholesaler and i-etailer are mak-
ing a living profit. Despite all the
substitutes for American Beauty, there
is a certain class of trade that will
have this rose and will not take any-
thing in place of it. Consequently, the
few growers who are handling it are
now reaping a reward not only in the
money obtained for the stock but also
in the name they get for supplying
whatever is needed. It has long been
said of one concern in this town that
it throws away as much stock as any
other concern sells. Whether this is
true or not, the big showing and the
assurance to customers that they can
always get what they want has been one
of the concern's greatest advertise-
VT'T^g. The much discussed Prima
W« ar* much plaated witb the
rasulta of our plant advcrtitementt

territory.
Germain Seed St Plant Co.
By M. L. Germain, Pres.
Los Angeles,
Feb. 26. 1916.
Donna rose is making good here, while
its sport, September Morn, is increasing
in popularity and will continue to as
its fine keeping quality is known.
Among the newer carnations. Gorgeous
perhaps is the most talked about just
now. From my own observations of it,
as handled by several growers, I might
say that the coloring is wonderful, re-
calling the bea|atiful old Winsor, while
it has great length of stem but lacks
stiffness in the neck. Just how much
of this is due to forcing the plants for
stock purposes I cannot say, but for
beauty it is ace-high.
Respecting other stock in this market
there is little to add to last week's
remarks. Several new daffodils have
appeared, but not in sufficient quantity
to affect the market much. Here, as
elsewhere, we are looking for a good
yellow about as big as Emperor and
as early as Golden Spur, but so far it
has not shown up. In the green mar-
ket everything seems plentiful but
plumosus, the supply of this being be-
low the demand just now.
Various Notes.
G. W. Smith reports better business
at the Seventh street store than at any
time since the opening. Mr. Smith
is putting in much time at the nursery
end and says that this also keeps him
on the jump. In the new houses at
Covina junction George Watson has
some magnificent carnations. The reds
are particularly good, as is the rose-
pink Gorgeous, of -which he is cutting
freely.
At the L. A. Floral Co. I noted quite
a number of novelties and flowers out
of the usual run, such as good irises,
callas prepared for long-distance ship-
ments, orchids and others. F. Sperry
spends considerable time on the outside
now, Paul Miller taking care of the
inside end. A splendid shipping trade
is being worked up by this house.
C. Lewis still is at his post at the
store of Freeman & Lewis, but is look-
ing forward to his trip around the
world. As a good American, his
world lies between Maine and Cali-
fornia, taking in the territory between
the Atlantic and Paciac.
O. C. Saakes is making a fine show
of bulbous stock.
At Wright's Flower Shop the forced
hyacinths and other Dutch stock in
pots, azaleas, cyclamens and primulas,
make a splendid showing even without
the magnificent rose stock, which is
well up to the Wright standard. Thomas
Wright is not held back by bad roads
from making frequent trips to the Bak-
ersfield ranch, where he grows the
"gintleman that pays the rint."
Some of the finest rose stock coming
to this market now is the long-stemmed
Prima Donna from W. Armacost & Co.
The pansy baskets made up by Man-
ager J. Gordon are particularly attrac-
tive at Wolfskins' & Morris Golden-
son's. The pretty little cradles, too,
which are sent on interesting occasions,
are quite a telling novelty.

The Market.
There is not much that is new in
the market. Cooler weather, with show-
ers, has had little effect on the offerings,
and most seasonable flowers are abun-
dant. The demand is heavy for funeral
and decorative pieces and counter
trade is brisk. The year thus far has
been distinctly better than last year,
notwithstanding the exposition of last
year. Shipping demand is strong for
roses and asparagus, both of which are
tar short of requirements, but ship-
jnents of smilax, adiantum and Mexican
JY are large, as well as those of vio-
lets. The latter, however, were poor
so long that outside buyers are not so
Keenly interested in them, though for
the last few weeks they have been fine.

The market still is flooded with daf-
fodils and jonquils, but the main crop
will be off in another week. Freesias
are less plentiful, and the early narcissi
are going off, with poeticus beginning
to show up fairly well. Eanunculus
and anemones are in fair supply and
find a good demand. Offerings of tulips
have increased greatly, and the quality
is better, though there is not much
really first-class stock. Hyacinths are
in good supply. Formosa lilies now are
plentiful, but the demand is active.

bly buttercups and poppies, but they
are rather scarce. Stocks, forget-me-
not, etc., are in better supply. Carna-
tions are cheap again, with plenty of
stock. No increase is expected in the
cut of roses for several weeks. There
are few Beauties, and everything else
is high in price, being quickly sold out.
Eussell, Ward, Shawyer and Sunburst
are probably the most popular vari-
eties at present. Orchids have been
in heav^ demand for large funeral
pieces. Fhalsenopsis is coming in fairly
well, but Cattleya Trianae is about
gone, with C. Schroederiana not yet
plentiful and C. MossisD several weeks
off. Many azaleas still are sold, rhodo-
dendrons being scarce. Camellias are
in fair supply and potted wistaria in
full bloom is an attractive novelty.
Pansies, etc., for bedding, are in strong
demand, and many pansies are used in
decorative work. Nursery stock, gla-
diolus bulbs, dahlia tubers and seeds
are moving in good shape.
Varioos Noies.
Podesta & Baldocchi have added as
a decorative feature to their store a
handsome garden table of Italian mar-
ble, with verd antique top, which makes
a handsome setting for some of their
vase and basket displays. They have
had an exceptionally large orchid busi-
ness recently, an important item being
a large pall of phalsenopsis.
A. J. Eossi, of Pelicano, Bossi & Co.,
mentions as an indication of the condi-
tion of business this winter, that they
ordered at the first of the year what
they thought was a year's supply of
galax leaves, and by the end of January
practically the whole stock had been
used.
Mr. Traversaro, an old employee of
Pelicano, Rossi & Co., is expected back
at the store in a few ^ays after spend-
ing a month in a hospital.
The Fairmont Floral Co. is making
some improvements in its window ar-
rangement. Negotiations have been
under way with a view to increasing
the store frontage, but the matter is
not yet settled.
Charles Stappenbeck, of Polk street,
is having a rush of business these days.
He says it is mostly funeral work, but
he manages to keep a store full of cus-
tomers, at that. He is making some
effective tulip and hyacinth displays
at present.
Frank Shibeley, of the Shibeley-Mann
Co., on Sutter street, near Polk street,
reports business better than last year.
He says the exposition was no help to
business in his neighborhood, and that
things have been livelier ever since it
closed.
Albert O. Stein reports the busiest
season he has ever had, especially in
table decorations, having dinner deco-
rations nearly every day. He had an
interesting job last week for the Philo-
math Club's luncheon, taking his motif
from the current fashion show. The
Palace hotel branch is making a satis-
factory business showing. Since the
first of the year Mr. Stein has had a
handsome delivery car, and now he has
bought a touring car, which he expects
to put to good use during the quiet sea-
son this summer.
F. C. Burns, of San Eafael, is busy
shipping dahlia tubers. He has a lot
of early seedling dahlias, which, with
good luck, he hopes to enter at the
flower show in May.

E. James brought in a few early ram-
bler roses last week.

The preliminary entry list, which is
practically complete, for the Marin
county flower show in May, is being

provided for, those in the professional
class including, in addition to plants and
ferns and a large number of miscella-

rose, carnation, sweet pea and gladiolus
exhibits. Only five entries are pro-

basket of cut flowers, a bridal bouquet
and a table decoration.
It is announced from Eureka that the
retail business of the Cottage Gardens
Nurseries has been purchased by Dr.
H. F. Perkins, who will continue the
store under the name of Tbe Eosary,
He has leased a new locatioh in a good
district, and will have it handsomely
fitted up for his purpose. He expects to
secure at San Francisco a full stock of
such flowers as are not produced around
Eureka, and expects to employ a com-
petent designer. Most of the green-
houses of the C street plant of the nur-
series iviU be moved to the Eden estab-
lishment, leaving the house attached to
the residence for Mr. Ward's own ex-
periments. Mr. Nyeland, superintend-
ent of the Cottage Gardens Nurseries,
is giving considerable attention to
chrysanthemums.
Joint rates on California nursery and
florists' stock to eastern destinations,
which mean a reduction of $1.25 per
hundred pounds in carloads of 20,000
pounds, were announced a few days ago
by the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and
Western Pacific railroads. The rates,
it is said, were made largely for the
benefit of growers on the line of the
Northwestern Pacific, but will benefit
growers throughout the state.
An exact duplicate of the exhibit of
100 species of conifers, planted in the
lawn before the Lumbermen's building
at the exposition, has been presented

Eberly, manager of the California Nur-
sery at Niles. The trees will be planted
in the new Lakeside park on the same
plan as at the exposition.

Various Notes.
Among the downtown florists and
their employees a great deal of interest
is taken in the hockey contests at the
ice hippodrome. One florist has a black
eye, the result of a wild drive by one
of the players.
On testing the single violets now on
the market, it was discovered that they
would cover the face of a silver dollar,
with an eighth of an inch or more to
spare on each petal.
Clarke Bros, are displaying a fine pair
of potted white magnolias in full bloom.
Gene Eobinson said he lost a few
lights of glass during the storm. He
brought in his heaviest cut of carna-
tions before the last decline in prices.
A display of several good-sized set-
pieces at the' store of Martin & Forbes
Co. elicited an inquiry as to whose
funeral they were for. "They are for
a cullud pusson, " replied Mr, Forbes.
He added that there were but few such
pieces ordered now, compared with the
demand for them a few years ago.
As a result of the action of the Port-
land Floral Society, several articles

The business of the Bloomington
Phoenix Nursery, established in 1852,
is being continued by a new corporation
formed in 1915, with W. E. Eossney presi-
dent and A. H. Eossney secretary and
treasurer. The spring catalogue consists
of thirty-two pages and cover.
In those sections of the country in
which the planting season has opened, the
accumulation of orders and the daily flow
of new business is keeping the trade on
the jump. If the experience is repeated
in the sections where the season is later,
there will be no cause for complaint this
year.
At St. Paul, Holm & Olson are build-

under on price. The printed matter of
the landscape department is of the
highest class.

HARDY
PENTSTEMONS
The Hardy Pentstemons are nearly un-
known to American growers of plants;
yet they are very desirable acquisitions
to the hardy border, both for garden deco-
ration and for cut flowers.
They are hardy and persistent and vary
greatly in color, size and shape, and pe-
riod of bloom.
It is too bad that our horticulturists
have for so long passed up this fine Amer-
ican genus of flowering plants.
We offer the following collection in the
belief that every one of Ihem will prove
successful in the average American gar-
den.
Pontstemon cyananthus (illustrated). The
sky-blue pentstenion. Flowers brilliant blue
in a close, compact spike, like a coenilean
delphinium. Always in bloom for Decoration
day. Very hardy, easily grown, and a beau-
tiful flower in the garden.
P. Palmeri (Palmer's Pentstemon). (See il-
lustration in last number of Florists' Re-
view.) Flowers largest of the genus, sweetly
perfumed, having the exquisite odor of the
almond blossom.
P. Katonl (Eaton's Pentstemon). Clear scar-
let. Makes a fine contrast when planted with
cyananthus.
P, Patryl (Parry's Pentstemon). Clear pink
flowers, delicate and sweet.
P. Utahenslfl (Utah's Pentstemon). Much
like cyanantliua, but larger in growth of
plant and flower and color varies greatly.
Extremely hardy.
P. azureua (variety). Violet-heliotrope
flowers in great masses. Fine.
Any of the above, separately or in assort-
ment, $1.60 per doz., 16.00 per 100, prepaid in
the United States.
We gather and disseminate from the
Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin
hardy perennial flowering plants, trees,
shrubs, ferns, bulbs, cactuses and seeds.

The Market.
Excellent weather conditions favored
the 'wholesale and retail markets last
week. The temperatures were moderate
and- the sunshine aided in selling as
well as in growing. Bulbous stock is
in heavy supply and the retailers are
making good use of the surplus stock
in their show windows. Carnations are
somewhat scarce and the demand is
good. Roses are more plentiful, but
are cleaned up daily. Violets are plen-
tiful, but valley is scarce and hard to
get. There is a limited demand for or-
chids. In pot plants, Murillo tulips
and. Von Sion daffodils are in best de-
mand.
Various Notes.
A visit to the P. R. Quinlan green-
houses in the Onondaga valley showed
everything in fine shape. Roses are
fine and the men are cutting some ex-
cellent blooms from them. The house
of sweet peas is a fine sight. These
are long-stemmed and have large flow-
ers. The carnations are in full crop
and Easter plants are looking well and
are timed just right for Easter.
W. E. Doyle had an attractive win-
dow for the automobile show. The
decoration consisted of a miniature
automobile made of Murillo tulips. En-
chantress carnations and single daffo-
dils. Business here has been fine.
Miles Henckle was busy with funeral
work last week. He had a large
blanket and several large floral pieces.
Chester Harris is having a good sale
of daffodils in pots, also of cut flowers.
He has a Saturday special sale on daf-
fodils each week.
Werner Bultmann reports business
good, with plenty of funeral work. Mr.
Bultmann is well pleased with the Feb-
ruary business.
Much sympathy is felt for Charles
Bourne in the loss of his mother-in-law,
who lived with him for many years.
Many floral tokens of respect were sent
by the florists and also by the Syracuse
Florists' Club. H. F. B.
Our Specialty is
Grafted Roses
rtfi-
WE grow many other young plants for the shipping trade,
but "Grafted Roses " is the specialty. A visit to Crom-
well will prove to you that we can back up our offers
with stock that is of the highest quality. We are growing 700,000
this season, for we know that this year we will see much
replanting that was not done last year. A good part of this
quantity is already sold, and orders have been very gratifying.
If you are going to plant or replant, get in touch with us
now. Give us a chance to give you the best plants that can be
grown. Our prices are graded to suit the quantity, and the
quality graded to be above competition. Write us now, or, better

The Market.
' Business aeems lojje on the increase,
^hile some of the~stocK continue^ to be
scarce. Of roses ;^here are jus^t about
«nough to go around and" the quality is
fair. Carnations are becoming more
plentiful and are improving in quality,
though there are still a good many
splits. Bulbous stock, valley and vio-
lets are sellin^well. Of these there is
an adequate supply, while lilies are still
scarce. Society night at the automo-
bile show created an extra demand for
corsage bouquets, and the cement show
last week called for a good number of
flowers, palms and ferns. Funeral work
has been unusually heavy.
Various Notes. ' '
Accompanied by Harry Clark, fore-
man of Wilcox's two huge 60-foot
houses at -Lake Manawa, and by his
assistant, Phil Foster, the writer took a
trip to see Paul Floth/s place and we
were well repaid for our trouble. He
has everything in tiptop shape. One
thing that especially impressed us was
the neatness of the place; there was
not a dead leaf or anything of the kind
to be seen anywhere. Mr. Floth be-
lieves in keeping plenty of help and
his stock certainly shows it. His lilies
for Easter are a sight worth traveling
miles to see, even if there are only
3,000 of them. About 15,000 geraniums,
ready for 4-inch pots, were especially
fine. He aims to have about 35,000
! altogether. Not an inch of available
space is wasted; it is all utilized all the
time for something. His equipment for
a start in the business twenty-five years
ago consisted of a wife and five chil-
dren and $25, but he refused to tell
us what he is worth today.
Lewis Henderson had the decorations
for the automobile and cement shows,
held here last week and the week be-
fore. He reports a heavy run on fu-
neral work and on corsages.
Charles Faulkner is cutting some ex-
tra fine valley and violets, for which
he finds a ready sale. He says the Ust
season was the most prosperous that
they have ever iBXperienced.

THE BEST RED CARNATION
RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT!
WINNER of the Silver Medal of the America^ Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; alsa of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H^at St. Louis,
1916. It h^s never been beaten at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The Size of the
flower is 3*3 inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equd,l in number to the En-
chantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in "full flower by the
1st of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
Booted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the ,^000 rfte price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively to rooted cuttings.

A POOR OEOP OF LETTUCE.
My Grand Bapids lettuce does not
grow as fast as it should and there are
patches that do not grow at all. It is
quite uneven and its color is too yellow-
ish. The lower leaves have a gjrowth
on them which looks like mold. Can
you tell me the cause and a remedy?
A. H.— 111.
The uneven growth of the plants is no
doubt due to some portions of your
soil being richer than others. Lettuce
requires a rich soil, with plenty of
stable manure well incorporated with
it. The moldiness may be due to care-
less watering and insufficient ventila-
tion. A night temperature of 46 to 50
degrees suits this lettuce. I think pov-
erty in parts of the beds is the cause
of the sickly looking plants. C. W.

Growing Plants from Seed.
Before we touch the question of seed
sowing, it is absolutely necessary to
i take into consideration how you are
' going to grow the plants; thtft is, what
means you have of caring for the young
plants, not only from the standpoint of
numbers, but also with reference to
the temperature that you can maintain.
It is useless to grow a quantity of to-
mato seedlings quite early and then
find that you cannot give them the
necessary heat and space, with the re-
sult that there is a heavy loss of money.
The seedlings want to be grown on
without a check, to give the best re-
sults. Therefore look ahead, before
you sow the sMdl
The best soil in which to grow the
seedlings is a free, loamy soil, with
. sufficient coarse sand well incorporated,

well and pan it through a '4-inch sieve.
Keep the coarse soil and place it on the
Jt)ottom of the boxes to act as drainage.
Mix about one 7-inch pot of bone meal
with each barrowful of soil.
Sowing Seed in Flats.
Use boxes about three inches deep
for the seed. Any ordinary plant flats
will do well for this purpose. On the
drainage place two inches of the fine
compost and press it until it is firm
and level, always using the soil in such
condition that it will not become plastic
or cake. r
Many seedlings are spoiled directly or
indirectly by sowing too thickly; so
have the seeds sown thinly and evenly.
This should be the aim of all growers.
To do this, take a round stick half
an inch thick and long enough to
reach the width of the box; press this
stick on the soil and you will have a
furrow half an inch deep across the
box. If you will make these furrows
half an inch apart and sow the seed,
you will get a box of seedlings in nice,
straight rows, one inch apart. Cover

and level, always using the soil in such
condition that it will not become plastic
or cake.
Many seedlings are spoiled directly or
indirectly by sowing too thickly; so
have the seeds sown thinlV and evenly.
Tliis should be the aim of all growers.
To do this, take a round stick half
an inch thick ^ and long enough to
reach the width of the box; press this
stick on the soil and you will have a
furrow half an inch deep across the
box. If you will make these furrows
half an inch apart and sow the seed,
you will get a box of seedlings in nice,
straight rows, one inch apart. Cover

with clean, fine soil and sand, half and
half, well mixed.
Press the whole firmly and then
water the seed boxes with .a water can,
using .a fine sprinkler on the can. The
object is to firm the soil around the
seeds aiul supply them with sufficient
moisture to insure germination. Cover
the boxes with glass, which should be
reversed, to get rid of the condensed
moisture. All this is a little extra
trouble, but it spells success.

The Market.. ^ •
Because of the cloudy" weather last
week, carnations, sweet peas and other
varieties of flowers did not come on as
rapidly as usual, and, consequently,
there was a slight scarcity. Roses have
been scarce atid prices have averaged
well, though they now are lower than
those of a month ago. Bulbous stock
is arriving in large quantities and is
reasonable in price. Freesias are abun-
dant and of good quality. Violets are
more plentiful than they were and
somewhat lower in price. Valley is of
good quality and the price keeps up
well. Forget-me-not and mignonette of
excellent quality now are plentiful.
Various Notes.
H. B. McKlnight, grower for August
Begerow, is going to try out several
new varieties of mums this year. H«
expects to grow Yellow Princess car-
nations, which are seldom seen in this
section of the country.
Davies & Davis are starting 20,000
mum cuttings. Their geranium cuttings
for the spring trade are coming along
nicely.
Henry Hornecker, of East Orange, re-
ports a large demand for bird bowls
for flowers. Azaleas are called for in
large numbers, he states.
Prof. Lippman, of the New Jersey
State Experimental Station, at New
Brunswick, will give a lecture at the
March meeting of the Essex County Flo-
rists' Club, at Krueger's Auditorium,
March 16. His subject will be "Fer-

Jacob H. rfarvey, who recenny went

C. E. Maillard states that during the

ST. PAUL.
The Market.
Many social functions were rushed
through before Lent and. kept the re-
tailers busy with decorations last week.
Stock of all kinds is plentiful and the
quality is of the best. Blooming plants
are coming in and sell readily. A trip
to the various greenhouses discloses a
■fine lot of plant stock. The florists
that handle a seed and sundry line are
busy. The landscape business, from all
indications, will far exceed that of
previous years.
Various Notes.
Holm & Olson have a number of
large landscape contracts under way in
Iowa and Nebraska, and as soon as the
weather permits they will work north.
H. Ejrinke & Son are sending into
the market a fine lot of Primula ob-
conica and cinerarias.
The Acorn Greenhouses are cutting
good roses. Ophelia and Bussell are
the favored varieties and will be grown
more heavily next season.
At the H. Puvogel greenhouses the
plant stock is in fine shape. A lot of
bedding stock looks fine and Mr.
Puvogel is wholesaling some of it,
which is unusual, for he generally has
only sufficient for his own needs. His
bulbous stock is in fine condition.
The West Side Floral Co. reports
business far in excess of that of last
year. The carnations are now in heavy
crop, as well as a fine lot of sweet peas
and bulbous stock.
George Bates, of Holm & Olson, is
again in the hospital, this time at St.
Paul's. He was operated on for ap-
pendicitis February 29, and his condi-
tion is favorable.
J. H. Hoffman, who for the last few
years has conducted his own store, now
is with L. L. May & Co.
The annual ball of the St. Paul Flo-
rists' Club was held at Eoyal Arcanum
hall, Tuesday evening, March 7. Miss
Florence Holm, William T. Cowperth-
waite and J. Berglund furnished mu-
sical selections during the stops in the
dancing. The committee in charge con-
sisted of N. C. Hansen, E. P. Holm, A.
Lauritsen and Carl Topel. C. E. F.

WORCESTER, MASS.
The Market.
Retail trade is good and the market
is well supplied with stock. Bulbous
stock is abundant and in good demand.
Tulips are selling rapidly this year.
One florist sold more than 10,000
flowers for the month of February, at
the price of $1 per dozen. Lilacs and
azaleas also are selling well.
Vaxious Notes.
About 250 attended the annual re-
union of the Worcester County Horti-
cultural Society, Thursday night,
March 2. The guests assembled in the
lower hall shortly kfter 6 o'clock and,
led by the officers of the society and
their wives, marched to the banquet
hall, where dinner was served. Fol-
lowing the banquet, Arthur E. Harts-
horn, president, introduced Mayor
George M. Wright, who gave a brief
address on "Preparedness" as it con-
cerns Worcester and its executives. He
extended an invitation to all guests tq
visit his farm at Charlton. The deco-
ration of the banquet table consisted
of tulips, hyacinths, narcissi and small
ferns. The assembly hall was trimmed
with palms and bay trees, by Lange,
the Florist. Dancing followed the
speeches and concluded one of the most
enjoyable evenings that the society has
had.
H. F. A. Lange 's windows are given
special attention by the trimmer. Mr.
Lange 's supply of stock is good and
much of it was disposed of in decora-
tions for several weddings and four
large banquets last month. He has re-
ceived a new line of tango bowls.
Two Worcester florists are taking a
crack at the advertising game. One of
them has a card in the street cars, a
new one every month, featuring cut
flowers. The other has a permanent
street car card. A novelty was the
short moving picture. One of the ad-
vertisers had an "animated ad" that
showed a messenger boy delivering a
box of flowers to a young lady, who
signed the book and smiled. The word-
ing was: "Smith, the florist, will de-
liver flowers in any city in the United
States or Canada on short notice.
Flowers by telegraph." H. L.
Escanaba, Mich.— The Mead Drug
Co., doing a large business here, has
established a well^equipped cut flower
department.

The Market.
Business was good last week, in spite
of the changeable weather. There was
a good demand for spring flowers and
roses for wedding and table decora-
tions. Potted plants sold well, espe-
cially cyclamens, cinerarias, primroses,
rambler roses and baby azaleas. Cut
flowers are none too plentiful and
prices in general are holding up well.
Calla lilies are showing up well on the
market and sell readily for funeral
work. Beauties are scarce. Other roses
are more plentiful than at the last writ-
ing. Shawyer, Killarney, Eichmond
and Ward are in the largest supply.
Russell and Ophelia are of good quality,
but not nearly so plentiful. Violets are
plentiful and meet with a fine demand.
Cattleyas are abundant, especially the
Trianse. Antirrhinums are increasing in
supply, but sweet peas are rather scarce.
The florists all report business for the
month of February as being exception-
ally good, considering the shortness of
the month. Funeral work was the larg-
est item. On account of the Lenten
season, the next two months are not ex-
pected to be so good, but everyone will
be busy preparing for the Easter busi-
ness.
Various Notes.
The Flick Floral Co. had a special
sale of carnations March 4. This com-
pany has received a large shipment of
fancy baskets, flower holders and vases
from New York.
A new geranium will be disseminated
by W. J. & M. S. Vesey. It is known
as Mrs. Vesey. It is of a beautiful
magenta color. A large shipment of
the young plants was sent to Houston,
Tex., last week, to be planted and de-
veloped for the convention of the So-
ciety of American Florists. This gera-
nium will be put on the market next
year.
There will be no meeting of the Indi-
ana State Florists' Association this
month, but President W. J. Vesey, Jr.,
says all the florists are making extra
efforts to have the April meeting at
Terre Haute an unusually good one.
This meeting being the last one before
Easter, Easter flowers, plants and nov-
elties will be discussed.

Greenhouse Heating.
SuBSORiBEBS 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-
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 iti adaptation.
BETTER BUY A BOILEB.
I am planning to build a greenhouse,
16x40, four feet high to the eaves and
ten feet to the ridge. Two feet of the
walls will be wood and two feet glass.
I intend to use low benches, if practic-
able. I would need one bench for car-
nations, one for geraniums and one
for miscellaneous plants. Do you think
the low benches would be satisfactory,
or would you suggest a diflferent ar-
rangement? I wish to heat the house
with hot water. Do you think I could
do this with a large water-jacket stove,
or would I have to get a small boiler?
In either case, how should I pipe the
house? C. D. J.— Tnd.
It is generally considered preferable
to use benches rather than beds for
carnations, and, for convenience in car-
ing for them, it would be well to have
the surface of the soil about two feet
from the floor.
There are several makes of small hot
water heaters, of comparatively low
cost, which will be more durable and
will give better satisfaction than a
water-jacket stove. Use for the heat-
ing system one 2%-inch overhead flow
pipe and eight 2-inch returns, placing
three returns under each of the side
benches and two under the middle
bench. Give the flow pipe a slight
fall and connect the highest point of
the system with the expansion tank.
REAREANGING THE PIPING.
I wish to increase the capacity of
my heating system. The greenhouse is
20x125, with a height of eleven feet
to the ridge and four feet to the gut-
ter. There is no glass in the sides.
The ends are protected by the office and
a shed. The north side for seventy-
five feet of its length is protected by
another house. The south side is ex-
posed. On the south posts at present
there are three flows and returns of
1%-inch pipe; at the north side there
are two flows and returns. I am plan-
ning to run one or two flows overhead

I had a cast iron 8-section boiler before,

The Kroesrhell Boiler is certainly a
fuel-saver. My coal bill to heat 5000 sq.

than last winter's coal bill, when I only
had 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the

swers for the two houses. At any rate,
it would .appear that an attempt is
being made to supply four 2-inch re-
turns, 130 feet long, with a 2-inch flow
pipe. Including the radiating surface
of the flow pipe, there will be over 400
square feet of radiation to be supplied
by a 2-inch flow, which is twice as
much as it can handle to advantage.
Even though there are four 2-inch
returns and one flow in each house, this
would not be suflBcient to maintain 45
degrees in zero weather. We suggest
the use of one 2i^-inch flow and two 2-
inch returns on each side of each
house, making four flows and eight re-
turns for the two houses. Except in
unusually severe weather, it would an-
swer if but one flow and three returns
are placed upon the posts under the
gutter to answer for the inside portion
of both houses, but for zero weather
two flows and four returns will save in
labor and fuel.

USINGEB'S UTTEBANGES.
Constien Bros., of Upper Sandusky,
O., grow some of the best cyclamens
seen in this section of the country.
Some fine orchid-flowering and double-
flowering cyclamens are grown. Some
of the best specimens have been se-
lected for seed for next year.
F. Sammet, of Upper Sandusky, has
some fine dwarf boxwood trees and
other specimens for outdoor planting.
Johnson 's Greenhouses, of Carey, O.,
have been busy with funeral work
lately. Business is much better than
it has been for some time.
Stelzig's Floral Store, of Belief on-
taine, O., is noted for fine window dis-
plays. The window for Washington's
birthday anniversary had in it a good-
sized cherry tree, with cherries, and a
figure of the truthful George in the act
of chopping down that celebrated tree.
A more modern range of glass than
that of Stuhldreher Bros., of Mansfield,
O., would be hard to find. Here are
grown over 75,000 geraniums and large
quantities of other plants for the whole-
sale trade, in addition to the cut flow-
ers grown.
The Dow Floral Co., of Mansfield,
was exceedingly busy turning out fu-
neral work.
F. E. Blake, of Marion, O., had a
fine window of azaleas.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free use of dirt bands for the g*row-
ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new READY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not how
cheap, but how good, is our motto.

KANSAS OITY.
The Market.
Market conditions last week were
stronger. Though a large quantity of
stock was received, the demand ex-
ceeded the supply. An unusual lot of
funeral work saved the market from an
oversupply. The receipts of bulbous
stock have about doubled and the roses
in all colors have increased consider-
ably. Carnations also are more plenti-
ful, but are not of such good quality;
a large proportion of them are splits.
Sweet peas and lilies are overabundant.
Various Notes.
T. J. Noll & Co. have been working
overtime all the week, getting out or-
ders. This firm has one steady con-
signment of 3,000 carnations and 1,500
roses daily, and reports that last week
not one flower was put away in the ice-
box, as all were sold as soon as they
were unpacked.
Arthur Newell had three large fu-
nerals last week, which made it neces-
sary to work late in the evenings. He
says the sale of pot plants was above
the average last week.
All the downtown florists report that
funeral work for the week was the
heaviest it ever has been at this time
of the year.
Business across the state line is satis-
factory. Funeral work was heavy. A
,good many pot plants were sent to the
hospitals last week.
Adolph Mohr has practically all of
his greenhouses now filled with bedding
plants, except one house which is de-
voted to Easter stock, and his place is
looking fine.
W. J. Barnes has practically sold out
his pot plants, except some reserved for
use on a large decoration next week.

^. Make Customers Successful lA^ith |
Your Plants i
Your customers buy potted plants. Often
they wither and die and you are blamed
for the failure. It's simply because plant
food is lacking. Your customers don't
want fertilizers with offensive odors. They
need OdorUs* Fertilo. that does not mar
the fragrance of the flowers. Just the material
for Lawns. Flowers, Shrubs and Small Gardens.
You can sell several cans of Odorless Fertllo
to each customer who buys potted plants and
several bags to those with gardens. Make them
more successful and they will become flower
enthusiasts.
FERTILO is nature's pure plant food and com-
bines air the essential elements required by
p ant life: Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid. Bone,
Phosphate of Lime and Potash. Makes the
necessary Humus for enriching the soil and is
also an excellent Insecticide.
VERTILO is odorless, will not get hard and
lumpy. Put up in bandy containers in 1 and 6-lb.
sizes, and in 10 and SO-lb. bags. The 1-lb. pack-
age will fertilize 10 gallons of earth for potted
plants or 50 sq. ft. of surface. Retails for 25c.
Full and simple directions printed on each

NASHVILLE, TENN.
The Market.
The heaviest snowfall of the winter
occurred last week, after the outdoor
flowers were coming in freely, but noth-
ing seemed to be injured. The longer
days have had their effect, and there
is an abundance of most items, though
roses still are short. The demand con-
tinues better tljan normal, almost every-
thing selling well. Pot plants are more
in evidence than they were a week ago,
but there is nothing in the way of nov-
elties to be seen. Sweet peas are ex-
ceedingly plentiful, as well as violets.
Peas continue to show the best quality I
have ever seen in this city. Cyclamens
are on the wane, more having been sold
this season , than ever before. Cin-
erarias are at their best and we have
been pleased to see so many pastel col-
ors in this flower. In the past it was
more gaudy than beautiful.
Our growers are producing their own
cyclamen seed, and I doubt if there are
finer strains in the country. If more
of our American growers produced their
own seed of the rare plants we would
see more individuality in plants. The
land is dry enough to be plowed and
those who do outdoor growing are pre-
paring the soil. All available space is
being filled with cannas and other bed-
ding plants. There are probably more
good bedding plants on hand now than
ever before at this time of year.
Various Notes.
T. H. Joy is planning to attend the
Philadelphia National Flower Show and,
after it is over, to make a short trip
to some of the larger flower centers.
The Hillcrest School Farm is planting
roses in the field this week. Several
thousand ramblers will be grown this
season.
Mclntyre Bros, received a nice lot of
ornamental evergreens last week.
Geny Bros, have their store filled
with a general line of excellent pot
plants.
Charles Tritschler, who built a place
near Sylvia park last summer, is doing
a good business. He has contracts with
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
which insure him success in his busi-
ness.
Leslie Littel, who is located just be-
hind the National cemetery, is rapidly
stocking up and will be ready for the
spring business. F. B.

^ THE UFE OF A GREENHOUSE IS 1HE GUTTER I
Garland gutters that were put up unpalnted 20 years ago are as good as =
new today (we can prove this) and mre good for 100 years more. 5
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago's largest growers, are using 14 miles of Gar- S
land gutters and will use no other. Altogether we have hundreds of miles 5
of our gutters in commercial ranges all over the country and can refer you S
to the owners. S

PROVIDENOE.
The Market.
Good business was the rule last week.
A number of small club and social
functions called for considerable stock,
while funeral work was in heavy de-
mand. The week brought more snow
than has been experienced in several
years. Everybody is now hustling for
the Easter season and the indications
are that there will be plenty of stock
from the local growers to meet all de-
mands. It is expected that prices will
rule about the same as for the last few
years — about one-third higher than
normal.
Various Notes.
F. Macrae & Sons have just added a
new Ford delivery to their garage. The
firm 's houses are looking their best.
Carnations and roses are the priocipal
crops, including Enchantress and White
Enchantress, Killarney and AVhite Kil-
larney, in each of which they furnish
superfine stock.
Samuel Kinder had unique decora-
tions last week for the birthday party
of his daughter, at his home at Bristol.
The annual meeting of the Greystone
Horticultural Society was held last
week. Officers were elected as follows:
President, Aquilla Jagger; vice-presi-
dent, Mitchell Northup; secretary,
W. Hewitt; treasurer, E. Hodgson; gen-
eral committee, J. Briggs, T, Brook,
E. Hodgson, W. Hewitt and M. Northup.
Eli King, of North Stonington, has
accepted a position with S. J. Renter
& Son, Westerly.
The Carmichael Orchards, Shannock,
are sending out their annual catalogue
of gladioli and peonies. W. H. M.
PAYING HOUSES
When planning for your new houses you no doubt wish
to erect the same so that in the course of time you have
the best returns from them. You want to consider the
durability, the convenience, the efficiency, and
last but not least, the cost of the houses. Not one of
these points is overlooked in our construction. Write for our sketches
and estimates.

CINERABIAS DYING.
Under separate cover I am sending
a specimen of our cinerarias. Will you
tell me what is the trouble with them,
and the remedy? They are gradually
wilting, one or two a day, even after
they are in bloom. As nearly as wo
can find out, there are small white
worms in the stems near the soil.
S. G. C— Wyo.
The plant was frozen stiff on arrival.
On splitting the stem, some of the small
white worms referred to could still be
noticed. These are unquestionably the
reason for the death of the plants.
Cinerarias are of easy culture and,
apart from green aphis and an occa-
sional attack of leaf miners, are pretty
free from injury by insects. The only
remedy I can suggest is sterilization of
the soil by steam, if possible, another
season. This will destroy all animal
life in the soil, as well as fungoid
germs. To destroy soil pests where
plants are growing, water with Vermine
at the rate of 300 parts water to one
part Vermine. Or bore a hole with a
pointed stick in each pot and pour a
few drops of carbon bisulphide into
each hole, immediately- covering it.
This forms a suffocating gas which
destroys insect life, but is harmless to
plants unless an excessive dose is given.
For an 8-inch pot use half a teaspoon-
ful; for 5-inch and 6-inch pots, smaller
quantities. I am afraid there is little
you can do now to help your plants, but
another season adopt preventive meas-
ures. C. W.

MAKING MONEY
WITH MIGNONETTE
The commercial spirit seldom takes such complete possession of a grower
or other business wMn as to smother all sentimental feeling with reference
to his lifework. Though love of the profits is the grower's main incentive,
his love of his flowers usually contributes to his success, as in the case of
the writer of this article.
T HAS been said, by a
man with whom I had the
privilege of becoming in-
timately acquainted, that
"flowers are the hand-
maid of refinement, good
taste and real gentility."
Certain it is that the
beauties of nature as ex-
pressed in flowers are
more appreciated as our higher and
finer instincts are developed. It is
equally true that some flowers, by
their fragrance, purity of color, or
other less clearly defined qualities,
appeal to us more strongly than do
others. For some such reason I have
always been partial to mignonette, and
as was natural, I re-
cently gave expression
to that partiality by
submitting to The Re-
view some photographs,
one of which is here
reproduced, of a strain
of mignonette we were
cutting. Then came
back the • suggestion,
from The Review, that
a description of the cul-
tural methods necessary
to produce these flowers
should accompany the
illustration when pub-
lished. Possibly I can
only repeat what has al-
ready been published on
this subject, but this ar-
ticle will at least serve
to call attention to a
flower which has a char-
acter and refinement en-
tirely its own, and which
is not often seen at its
highest stage of devel-
opment.
Sowing the Seed.
We sow our mignon-
ette seed July 15 in 2%-
inch pots, placing six to
eight seeds in a pot and
using a light, fresh soil.
The seed is firmed and
only enough soil is
added to prevent the
first waterings from ex-
posing the seed. The
pots are then placed in
an outside frame, and,
to prevent the entrance
of the common sulphur
butterfly, a covering of
the thinnest fly netting
is tacked entirely over
the frame. All watering

is done with a can and fine rose
through this netting, and we believe
that the light shade produced by the
netting is a benefit, considering that
the young plants are growing with
otherwise full exposure to sun and
air.
The Seedlings in Frames.
Over the cross-braces and lengthwise
of the frame near each edge is placed
a narrow strip of board, and during
rainy or threatening weather sashes are
put on as a protection. The sashes, be-
ing raised on all sides, allow a free cir-

culation of air over the young plants.
Mignonette produces a network of ex-
tremely fine roots around the inner cir-
cle of the pot. If, when planting into
the bench later, the ball of soil and
roots does not separate from the pot
in a clean fashion, the young plants
will have considerable of a setback.
It is important that clean pots be used
and that they be set on a good depth
of well moistened ashes or sand.
Owing to the difficulty of trans-
planting, some growers sow the seed
in the bench which is to be their per-
manent quarters. Because of the date
of sowing our seed and the fact that
the young plants, if inside, would be
subjected to the most intense heat of
the summer, we prefer,
as a rule, to follow the
method first described.
After the seedlings
are of sufficient size,
they are set over and
weeded. The only thin-
ning out we do at this
time is to reduce to five
or six of the strongest
plants any pots in which
more than that number
have started.
The last of August is
the time we bench our
mignonette, and a well
drained solid bed, in a
light, airy house, pro-
vides, in my opinion,
the ideal conditions.
I am aware that high-
class mignonette is be-
ing grown on raised
benches, with five
inches of soil, but for a
prolonged and steady cut
I prefer the solid bed.
Benching the Plants.
If it is necessary to
plant in a raised bench,
select one with a good
depth of soil and free
from excessive bottom
heat.
For soil we use a
fresh fibrous loam, to
which has been added a
fourth or fifth of well
rotted manure, the whole
being well worked over
but not broken up too
finely. The young plants
— or, rather, the clus-
ters of young plants
just as they come from
the pots — are spaced
twelve inches apart
14
The Florists' Review
March 16. 1916.
lengthwise of the bench and ten inches
crosswise. It has been, and is now, I
believe, the general custom in grow-
ing mignonette to thin out the young
plants until at a certain time but one
plant remains, and when this is of suf-
ficient size the head is pinched out,
causing it to branch. Our method is
diflPerent. The pots of seedlings will
contain anywhere from one to six
plants, depending on how the seed ger-
minated and on other causes. In plant-
ing, an average of five plants are left
in each space. Those clusters having
more than five plants are thinned out;
if there are less than five, two or more
clusters are planted together,' disturb-
ing as little as possible the ball of
soil.
Practically the only pinching done
is on an occasional plant which shows
a tendency later to shoot ahead of
the rest, or at a spot here and there
that does not appear to be thick
enough.
Watering and Feeding.
The first flowers are ready for
Thanksgiving day, and from the mid-
dle of December onward the bed is in
full bearing, producing spikes averag-
ing thirty-two inches in length.
During the first six or eight weeks
particular care is taken that the bed
is not overwatered. All watering dur-
ing this period is done with a fine
rose and only about as far from the
plant as the roots have extended. IVe-
quently, probably after every second
watering, the soil is loosened with the
hands to the depth of an inch and al-
lowed to remain so until actually in
need of another watering. After the
roots have made some headway, this
rosing is discontinued and occasional
light doses of sheep manure are given
until along in February, after which
liquid manure is used. The mignonette,
after getting well under way, has a
vigorous root action. The main tap
root goes straight down and the small
lateral roots, almost invisible, pene-
trate to all parts of the bench. It is
therefore benefited from January on
by liberal feeding and plenty of
water.
The Temperature.
The night temperature usually recom-
mended for mignonette is 45 degrees
and I have often heard it said, as an
argument in its favor, that it can
"stand" 40 degrees. This reminds me
of a phrase I heard repeated many
times in my old home, to the effect
that "there is considerable difference
between what a dog will eat and what
he will live on." (This does not mean
that we children did not get plenty to
eat.) It appears to me that when we
consider what treatment a plant will
stand, the aim should be to bring it
to the point of greatest production con-
sistent with the desired quality. We
grow our mignonette at 48 degrees, be-
cause at this temperature we get
blooms of the best quality and the
development is much more rapid than
when a temperature several degrees
lower is maintained. It is essential
that fresh air be given on all possible
occasions.
For supports we use the wire and
string method commonly in use for
carnations. When the plants get
higher, English twine is used instead
of wire for stretching lengthwise of the
bench on the inside rows. This saves
considerable breakage.
The One Destructive Pest.
The only destructive enemies that
we have to fight are the green worms
which are the larvae of the sulphur but-
terflies. If unchecked, one or two of
these worms will devour a small plant
over night. Up to the time of plant-
ing in the bench, our young plants are
protected by the covering of netting,
as mentioned. The plants from now
on must be sprayed regularly with a
solution which will kill these worms
by being consumed along with the
foliage. The different nicotine mix-
tures are of no use for this purpose.
Weak solutions of hellebore or Paris
green can be used, but there is always
the danger of burning. Arsenate of
lead is better. Though it colors the
foliage, the use of it can be discon-
tinued before the foliage appears
which will be left on the stem when
cut. For the last three years we have
used, not only on mignonette but on
other plants, a spray material put out
by the Bowkers under the trade name
of Pyrox. A few worms will hang on
until late in the fall and these must
be picked off by hand.
Disbudding must be attended to just
as with carnations. We have not de-
veloped our strain to the point where
disbudding can be dispensed with, but
later in the season, when the lateral
gTowths appear, not much of this is
necessary.
Our mignonette is put up in bunches
of one dozen to a bunch and is sold
at wholesale in the Buffalo and
Kochester markets. Some years the
local supply of various flowers is more
than a market normally requires and
this is perhaps more noticeable with
mignonette than with some other flow-
ers which have a wider range of use.
I am satisfied, however, that, one year
with another, a well grown bench of
mignonette will return us as much
money as an equally well grown bench
of any of the standard varieties of
flowers.
Growing tlie Seed.
Do we ever consider how much a
matter of faith it is when we buy our
seed, and how important it is that we
procure the bestf As a rule, the best
seed can be purchased for less money
than we would find it necessary to ex-
pend in the form of space and atten-
tion in order to produce seed of like
quality. We have made an exception,
however, of mignonette, and along in
December each year a certain number
of the finest spikes are selected and
tied to a bamboo stake. Before the
end of February this year, these seed
spikes measured forty-five inches from
the ground, with a flower development
of sixteen to eighteen inches, the lower
part going to seed.
How many years this particular
strain has been with us, I am unable
to say. Among the many pleasant
recollections of my boyhood days in
the Buffalo home, I remember that for
many years it was a regular custom
of my father and a few of his intimate
florist friends to congregate there of a
Sunday morning and make the rounds
of the greenhouses. I recall his point-
ing to a bench of mignonette and say-
ing that the seed was from John N.
May.
After the building of our Corfu
place, the same strain of mignonette
was retained and is still grown, with
no change except what may have been
caused by the effort toward improve-
ment. Whether it is any better than
in the old days I am unable to say.
Youthful recollections are not reliable,
but I like to think that pride in a
thing accomplishes something.

AT LAST, SOMETHING NEW I
There is no gainsaying the fact that
when a once rare occurrence becomes
common it loses its interest, even
though it be such a matter as swindling
retailers by means of bogus checks. The
check forgers seem to have found the
florists' business a fertile field for their
operations, for they are ever in our
midst — recently at Baltimore, then To-
ledo, Detroit, Saginaw and last week at
San Francisco. Keally, their fraudu-
lent schemes have been perpetrated so
frequently of late that a note of each
duping scarcely classes as of news in-
terest. However, relief from this dire
monotony of crookdom turned up last
week in the city of New York, where
the really clever people who live by
their wits reside. The dishonest person
in this case is a young man who, if hon-
est, would make a good salesman; prob-
ably honest sales are his vocation and
crooked sales his avocation. At any
rate, here is how the scheme is worked.
In the morning the swindler reads the
death notices in the newspapers and
marks down the addresses of houses of
death. In a short time he calls on the
bereaved, representing himself to be
the salesman of a downtown florist who
specializes in funeral work. Being a
good salesman, he sells the mourners as
many pieces as they will stand for and,
on leaving, this impostor diplomatically
requests a deposit on the order. The
bereaved, being more or less numbed
by the shock they have sustained, un-
suspectingly pay the deposit. At this
stage of the game the candidate for the
rogues' gallery makes his exit.
In due course of time the innocent
downtown florist is called to the phone
and asked why the flowers ordered in
the morning have not been delivered.
The puzzled florist, after a pause for
registering surprise, explains that he
has no salesman taking orders for him
on the outside. This is followed by
high words until the situation is made
clear; that is, the mourners have been

victimized. The cheerful point about
this crook's methods is that they are
practically harmless as far as the flo-
rists are concerned. They are decidedly
annoying, however. The florist does
not lose anything unless he is soft-
hearted enough to make up the pieces
in a hurry, deliver them and collect the
difference between their selling price
and the deposit collected by the swin-
dler.
YOUTH AND MODERNITY.
The store of Victor Young & Co.,
1239 North Clark street, Chicago, is
one of the new up-to-date flower shops
of the city. The establishment occu-
pies the ground floor and basement of
the building and use is found for every
bit of the space. In the basement is
storage for a large reserve stock and
in the rear of the store is a modern
workroom. Victor Young, the proprie-
tor, is one of Chicago's youngest flo-
rists, but it might be said that he has
spent a lifetime in the business. He is
well known and has a large clientele
among the exclusive north side social
set. All fixtures, including the re-
frigerator, were designed and built by
Buchbinder Bros. The refrigerator
can be seen in the center of the pic-
ture, at the left are the office and
cashier's desk and at the right is the
door to the workroom.
BEMB SHOW BBINaS BUSINESS.
According to the business scientists,
the character rating of any store is
determined by the average income of
its patrons. For instance, the depart-
ment stores of our large cities are di-
vided into three distinct classes — those
that cater to the "better and best,"
or wealthy, class, the popular-priced
stores and last, but not least, the cheap
stores. The word cheap in the last
case is used as a descriptive of the
stores that handle merchandise of low
quality at a low price, but, neverthe-
less, give value for the money. Fur-
ther, and as Exhibit B, these experts
advance the theory that when any
store has attained a reputation of serv-
ing a distinct class of people, it must
shape its policies, merchandising and
advertising accordingly, in order to
harmonize with the ideas, habits and
pocketbooks of its clientele. The ad-
vertising man of the high-grade store
does not feature biej bargains, quote
low prices or talk "best goods at low-
est prices." If he did he would not
be advertising to his regular patrons
but to another class of people. The
final result in this case, according to
the experts, would be a loss of busi-
ness.
From this retailers' logic it is rea-
sonably clear why it is not wisdom
for the well known florist who sells
the best class to suddenly advertise
cut-rate flowers, "Saturday flower spe-
cials at 50 cents" or other forms of
sales promotion that appertain to the
flower store of the lower class. These
rather nice rules of business building
undoubtedly were paramount in the
mind of Albert Pochelon, of the Bemb
Floral Co., Detroit, when he was look-
ing about for a feature that would
bring the right kind of buyers. Mr.
Pochelon finally decided on an orchid
show in the Bemb store. The show
was given March 1 and 2, and the
accompanying illustration affords a
view of the exhibit, of which Mr.
Pochelon speaks as follows:
In the New Store of Victor Young & Co., Chicago.
"I never was in favor of attracting
patrons to my store on the strength
of a cheap sale, such as a $1 box of
flowers or a $1.50 basket. I found
there were just as good means of at-
tracting the flower-buying public to my
store on the merits of good stock, at
good, honest prices.
"I had an idea in this regard and,
to use the expression of Herman Kno-
ble, of Cleveland, 'I nailed it' then
and there. Why not give my patrons
a good show of flowers and plants that
they did not see often? And what
could be better than orchids, both
growing and cut blooms t We made
plans for an orchid show and sent out
1,500 invitations and advertised the
show in all the papers for two days.
The results were more than good.
"Joseph Mueller, of the Julius
Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., came
along with a nice collection of orchids,
plants and cut blooms, and I had others
shipped from the Dale Estate, of
Brampton, Ont. Mr. Mueller gave talks
on orchids during the two days, March
1 and 2, and I am sure we made many
friends, aside from many orchid buyers.
On such an occasion the sales naturally
increase, for the people will see and
buy other plants and flowers in the
shop."
FISK'S NEW, OUTFIT.
The days have gone by when a florist
can maintaih'tlie pace set by his neigh-
bors unless he uses an equally modern
equipment. Note the store fronts. Are
the flower stores making a show that
will compare with the show of the dry
goods store, or even with that of the
Orchid Show in the Store of the Bemb Floral Co., Detroit.

cigar shopf In many cases the answer
must be that the florist has not yet put
in a modern front. There are, indeed,
flower stores in which the fixtures of
olden times still suffice, but not so with
those retailers who are keeping up
with the procession. A flower store
today, to have a standing comparable
to that of other merchants in the vi-
cinity, must have modern fixtures. The
accompanying illustration gives a view
of one corner of the store of C. H.
Pisk, Inc., on Ogden avenue, just off
West Madison street, in Chicago. The
Fisk store recently was completely
reoutfitted by the store fixture depart-
ment of the A. L. Bandall Co., Chi-
cago. Many retail florists nowadays
dispense with counters, but Mr. Fisk
retains one in front of the icebox, for
convenience in handling stock and in
putting it before his customers for in-
spection.
OXTTTINGS NEED FBESH SAND.
I put in a batch of 6,800 carnation
cuttings January 1 and by February 5
6,400 of these had rooted. For the next
batch the proprietor told me not to
change the sand but to draw some hot
water from the steam boiler and
water the sand thoroughly. I did so
and then put in 6,000 cuttings. Of
these I find that only about one-third
will root. I maintain that old sand is
not good for rooting carnations; I be-
lieve in renewing the sand for each
batch of cuttings. Am I correct t Do
you think the stale water from the
boiler killed the life of the sand and
caused the cuttings to rotf
H. E. E.— Mich.
In our opinion, propagating sand is
fit for only one batch of cuttings; we
would not think of using it for a second
batch. We know of growers who do
and we have tried it, but have never
seen a second batch come out with so
large a percentage of rooted cuttings
as the first. The reason for the failure
is not, as you surmise, the killing of the
life of the sand by the hot water, but
rather the reverse. You cannot take
out a batch of cuttings without losing
more or less of the roots; a few of the
roots will break off in spite of the ut-
most care. These remaining rootlets
will begin decaying soon after the sec-
ond lot of cuttings is stuck, and start
fungus. Pouring on hot water starts
this decay just a few days sooner and
aggravates the trouble.
From an economical standpoint, we
could never see anything but loss in
using propagating sand for more than
one batch of cuttings. A cubic yard
of sand, costing perhaps $3 by the time
you have it in the propagating bed, will
hold about 10,000 carnation cuttings.
One hundred cuttings of any of the
standard varieties will pay for that
load of sand. We feel safe in saying
that the loss traceable to this cause
would easily average ten per cent, so
that new sand for each batch will easily
pay for itself tenfold. Penny wise and
pound foolish, is what we call it.

and used sheep manure lightly early in
the winter. After this a mulch of cow
manure was given. B. & B. — Wis.
These light-colored growths are due
to lack of nutrition, the cause of which
would be difficult to state without
knowing more about the cultural con-
ditions under which the plants are
growing. The lack of sunshine would,
no doubt, be a contributory cause. These
old varieties have lost so much in vital-
ity that it is difficult to pull them
through a whole season without con-
tracting some such trouble. They can-
not stand the strain of the dark winter
weather. As spring approaches and
the weather conditions become more fa-
vorable to plant growth, you will see
these troubles gradually vanish. But
why worry along with these old, worn-
out varieties! There are plenty of the
newer, improved and more vigorous
varieties on the market, which will not
only give you less worry but also better
blooms. The best advice I can give you
is to stock up with up-to-date vaiieties.
Your stock of these varieties is deterio-
rating, the same as it has already done
for nearly everybody, and there is no

Following the address of Howard M.
Earl before the Florists' Club of Phil-
adelphia March 6, the following ques-
tions were asked and answered:
Q. — ^What is the best treatment of
winter-flowering Spencer sweet peas,
planted in a carnation bench, to pro-
duce seed?
A. — As sweet peas grown under glass
will not set seed until toward the end
of April, nothing would be gained by
starting the seed early in the fall.
Therefore, as there would be no advan--
take in allowing the flowers to remain
on the vines, meanwhile would advise
cutting them regularly until toward the
middle of April.
Q. — And how soon ought they to set
seedf
A. — If the plants referred to have
been flowering now for some time, they
should be given regular applications
of liquid manure and perhaps a top-
dressing of thoroughly rotted manure,
the desire being to keep them growing
strongly until the period when they
would be likely to produce the most
seed.
Q. — There are a few vines I particu-
larily want to get iJl the seed of that
is possible. How shall I insure the
maximum seed crop?
A. — As the days get longer and* the
sun, naturally, much stronger, the vines
are likely to be attacked by the green
fly, and, unless this is seen to in time,
the plants might be so tadly crippled
as to preclude any chance of seed set-
ting. It is, therefore, well to fumigate
the house at intervals of ten days or so,
as * ' prevention is better than cure. ' '

jection is made to this registration
prior to April 1, this variety will be
registered as Crystal White.
Sesoriptlon: Bloom medium sice (8 cm.).
Stamen filaments white, anthers bluish; perianth
white, blotched Tyrlan rose. It seems to be
8 compact bloom of good substance, five blooms
being open at one time. It is early to mid--
season, tall, erect and bears a large number of
blooms (21). It is a vigorous grower, well
furnished with medium broad leaves and seems
to be rather prolific. Name, Crystal White.

Patten &; Co.
The carnation establishment of M. A.
Patten & Co., of Tewksbury, Mass., is
well known in Boston and New Eng-
land. M. A. Patten, the senior mem-
ber of the firm, has for years been
noted as a skillful grower, and some
good novelties have originated here.
All the houses here are kept scrupu-
lously clean and the whole plant is a
model of its kind. Carnations continue
to be the ^eat specialty here and never
looked better than this season. In
whites, White Wonder is much pre-
ferred to Matchless, being found far
freer in winter. The planting of
Matchless has been much reduced since
a year ago. Alice does extremely well
here, as does Pink Delight, Sunbeam
fills one bench and made a favorable
showing. Pink Sensation and Good
Cheer will be tried again, after a care-
ful selection of cuttings. At present
both are flowering freely.
Beacon, which with many growers
bursts badly at this season, does splen-
didly here and few splits were to be
seen. Benora does finely. A few
plants were seen of a pure white sport.
Peerless Pink was in heavy crop and
may be grown again, but Bosette will
be dropped. Philadelphia was . doing
well. Mrs. Akehurst fades out too
much. Enchantress Supreme has proved
good and holds its color well. Some
good seedlings were noted, in addition
to the standard varieties.
One house is filled with Godfrey
callas, which bloom with great free-
dom. Plants in as small as 2^ -inch
pots have flowered. Freesias, snap-
dragons, asparagus, adiantums, Cypri-
pedium insigne, marguerites and bed-
ding plants occupy several houses.
A. Boper..
The sad tragedy which, Marcl 1,
removed one of our most enthusiastic
and skillful carnationists, as told in
the obituary column of The Review
of March 9, happened only twenty-
eight hours after I had spent several
hours with Mr. Eoper. He was full
of optimism over his favorite flower
and little did I dream of the sudden
and terrible ending of his life.
Here are to be seen about 40,000
carnations, and, with the exception of
small lots of Pink Delight and Cham-
pion— each of which, by the way, com-
pares unfavorably with Mr. Boper 's
seedlings — all are varieties raised by
our deceased friend. Alice Coombs
looms up in great shape and carries
wonderful flowers. Grace, light pink,
and Commonwealth, deep flesh, were
equally good, but a new cerise-pink
seedling, as yet only under number, is
the finest and most prolific of its color
I have ever seen. There are about
10,000 flowering plants of it here, and
their cleanliness, vigor and floriferous-
ness must be. seen to be appreciated.

LEWIS HENDEBSON.
OUT in Omaha, whenever there is a bit of work to be done they say, ' ' Leave it to
Louie;" it's slang for the eastern classic, **Let George do it." Henderson is
the tireless worker among the bunch of fine fellows in the town that has its
trade fame as lying just across the river from Council Bluffs. Ever since the
mpniory of man runneth not in the opposite direction, Henderson has been on
the job, not only ready but willing, to shoulder any little task for the general
good. It was so when the S. A. F. years ago made its first excursion west of
the Mississippi to his town, and it is so now, when the S. A. F. seems to have
acquired the trans-Mississippi habit. If they don't take the convention to Denver
next year, from Houston, Hess is likely to snatch it for Henderson, to keep him
busy in the early part of 1917. And if he does, you can bet the boys will be
well looked after.
Mr. Roper had planned to introduce
this next season, and within a few
days had booked orders for 25,000
rooted cuttings.
There are other seedlings here, in-
cluding a large batch of a pure white
in the way of Matchless, but more
prolific, and small batches of a num-
ber of promising new varieties. All
the plants here were free from bac-
teria and in splendid health.
Jolm T. Gale.
A large variety of stock is grown at
Mr. Gale's place. The carnations were
in excellent condition. The varieties
grown are Beacon, Eureka, which
looked well, Fenn, Enchantress Su-
preme, Matchless, White Wonder, Pink
Delight and Benora. Both single and
double violets are grown in quantity;
also Spencer sweet peas, giganteuip
lilies and Godfrey callas. The culture
of yellow marguerites was only re-
cently started. These are chiefly in
8-inch and 9-inch pots, standing on
solid beds, where they can root through.
These are a mass of flowers. W. N. C.

F. G.— HI.
A mixture of kerosene and white
lead makes a suitable greenhouse shad-
ing, which can be applied with a brush
or a garden pump. At this early date
a light shade only is needed, as we may
get long spells of dark weather before
spring. Ordinary whitening and kero-
sene make a useful tetaporary shade;
so does clay water. Either of these is
washed off by a heavy rain. For many
plants at this early date cheesecloth
as a temporary shade is preferable to
shade on the glass. C. W.

cigar shop? In many cases the answer
must be that tlie florist lias not yet put
in a modern front. There are, indeed,
flower stores in which the fixtures of
olden times still suflice, but not so with
those retailers who are keeping up
with the procession. A flower store
today, to have a standing comparable
to that of other merchants in tlie vi-
cinity, must have modern fixtures. The
accompanying illustration gives a view
of one corner of the store of C. H.
Fisk, Inc., on Ogden avenue, just off
West Madison street, in Chicago. The
Fisk store recently was completely
reoutfitted by the store fixture depart-
ment of the A. L. Eandall Co., Chi-
cago. Many retail florists nowadays
dispense with counters, but Mr. Fisk
retains one in front of the icebox, for
convenience in handling stock and in
putting it before his customers for in-
spection.
CUTTINGS NEED FRESH SAND.
I put in a batch of 0,800 carnation
cuttings January 1 and by February 5
6,400 of these had rooted. For the next
batch the proprietor told me not to
change the sand but to draw some hot
water from the steam boiler and
water the sand thoroughly. I did so
and then put in G,000 cuttings. Of
these I find that only about one-third
will root. I maintain that old sand is
not good for rooting carnations; I be-
lieve in renewing the sand for each
batch of cuttings. Am I correct? Do
you think the stale water from the
boiler killed tlic life of the sand and
caused the cuttings to rot?
H. E. R.— Mich.
In our opinion, propagating sand is
fit for only one batch of cuttings; we
would not think of using it for a second
batch. We know of growers who do
and we have tried it, but have never
seen a second batch come out with so
large a percentage of rooted cuttings
as the first. The reason for the failure
is not, as you surmise, the killing of the
life of the sand l)y the hot water, but
rather the reverse. You cannot take
out a batch of cuttings without losing
more or less of the roots; a few of the
roots will break off in spite of the ut-
most care. These remaining rootlets
Avill begin decaying soon after the sec-
ond lot of cuttings is stuck, and start
fungus. Pouring on hot water starts
this decay just a few days sooner and
aggravates the trouble.
From an economical standpoint, we
could never see anything but loss in
using propagating sand for more than
one batch of cuttings. A cubic yard
of sand, costing perhaps $3 by the time
you have it in the propagating bed, will
hold about 10,000 carnation cuttings.
One hundred cuttings of any of the
standard varieties will pay for that
load of sand. We feel safe in saying
that the loss traceable to this cause
would easily average ten per cent, so
that new sand for each batch will easily
pay for itself tenfold. Penny wise and
pound foolish, is what we call it.

CARNATIONS LACK NUTRITION.
We are sending you the tops of two
carnation plants which are affected
with some disease unfamiliar to us.
Will you please tell us what the trouble
is and a remedy for it? This trouble
started early in the winter and is found
mostly on Victory, but Pink Enchant-
ress also is affected badly. We used
lime when benching them last summer
and used sheep manure lightly early in
the winter. After this a mulch of cow
manure was given. B. & B. — Wis.
These light-colored growths are due
to lack of nutrition, the cause of which
would be difficult to state without
knowing more about the cultural con-
ditions under which the plants are
growing. The lack of sunshine would,
no doubt, be a contributory cause. These
old varieties have lost so much in vital-
ity that it is difficult to pull them
through a whole season without con-
tracting some such trouble. They can-
not stand the strain of the dark winter
weather. As spring approaches and
the weather conditions become more fa-
vorable to plant growth, you will see
these troubles gradually vanish. But
why worry along with these old, worn-
out varieties? There are plenty of the
newer, improved and more vigorous
varieties on the market, which will not
only give you less worry but also better
blooms. The best advice I can give you
is to stock up with up-to-date varieties.
Your stock of these varieties is deterio-
rating, the same as it has already done
for nearly everybody, and there is no
help for it. A. F. J. Baur.

MAINE FLOBISTS' SOCIETY.
" ' The Officers Elected.
Thip representative tradesmen of the
state of Maine assembled at Orono
Marcih;^for the second annual meeting
of the Maine State Florists' Society,
which was held in conjunction with
Farmers' week at the University of
Maine. In the absence of the presi-
dent, Secretary Alexander Lurie called
the meeting to order at 9 a. m. A let-
ter from the absentee was read and the
reports of the secretary and treasurer
were submitted and approved. These
proceedings were followed by the bal-
loting for officers, which resulted in the
reelection of the incumbents, with the
exception of the secretary, whose new
duties will take him out of the state.
The officers are: President, J. H. Stal-
ford, of Bar Harbor; vice-president, C.
S. Strout, of Biddeford; treasurer, E.
Saunders, of Lewiston; secretary, E. T.
MuUer, of Orono. The following con-
stitute the new executive board: J. H.
Stalford, C. S. Strout, H. L. Chadwick,
Miss M. A. Clark, F. L. Minott and
P. M. 01m.
A rising vote of thanks was tendered
Alexander Lurie for his good work to-
wards making the society a success.
The organization was started by Mr.
Lurie a year ago, and it has progressed
rapidly through his efforts and the loyal
support of the florists. Mr. Lurie has
resigned his position as instructor of
floriculture and landscape art at the
university, to take up work in connec-
tion with the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den, at St. Louis.
The Program.
After a short but excellent program
a dinner was given the society by the
home economics department of the Uni-
versity of Maine Agricultural College. '
The program follows:

The Exhibition.
During the day of the meeting and
the one following, March 8 and 9, a
good exhibition of Maine-grown flow-
ers and plants was given in one of the
horticultural laboratories of the uni-
versity. The principal exhibitors were:
F. L. Billings, of Richmond, carnations;
H. L. Chadwick, of Houlton, sweet peas,
calendulas and schizanthus; the J. W.
Minott Co., of Portland, carnations; E.
Saunders, tulips, hyacinths, narcissi,
roses and carnations; R. Barrows, of
Gorham, carnations; Mrs. M. A. Clark,
of Ellsworth, primroses, cyclamens and
begonias.
During the year the society is plan-
ning to hold meetings in various parts
of the state and offer prizes for exhib-
its at these meetings. This would cre-
ate a state-wide interest in the society
and its doings.

TOMATOES UNDER GLASS.
Tarentum, Pa. — "Four doctors have
given me up, but I think I still will be
reading The Review when springtime
comes,'' says Q. A. McWilliams, of
the McWilliams Floral Co. Mr. Mc-
Williams was troubled with carbuncles
last summer, and in trying to cure him
the doctors started blood poisoning,
which was like going from the frying
pan int(Lthe fire.
Care of the Seedlings.
In a former article, on page 88 of
The Review of March 9, I described
my method of sowing tomato seed in
rows. But some reader will say, "Why
all this trouble f Why not sow broad-
cast?" For the simple reason that
young seedlings require space, light
and air, as human beings do. Cover
around the seedlings and you get a lot
of spindle-legged plants. Deprive them
of air and they turn yellow. Give
them too much water and they rot off.
All these conditions can be avoided if
the seedlings have ample room in
which to grow. Again, many things
may occur to prevent your pricking off
the young seedlings at the proper time.
Then they will rapidly draw and
weaken and your plants will be almost
useless. Many of them will be useless
and the remainder will be so reduced
in vitality that they will require weeks
to recover.
From the sowing of the seeds on-
ward, we treat with greenhouse cul-
ture. The temperature for the seed-
lings should be 65 degrees. This will
give quick-grown but sturdy seedlings,
providing they are not neglected.
When the seedlings are in rough leaf
they should be pricked off immediately.
Procrastination is abhorred by prac-
tical and successful growers. The
right work must be done at the right
time. When the tomato seedlings are
in rough leaf, that is the time to trans-
plant them. The compost for this pur-
pose should be prepared in the fall
and placed under cover for use. It
should consist of fine, loamy soil, with
which has been incorporated a 7-inch
pot of bone meal to the barrowful of
soil. Good bone meal will contain
about forty-eight per cent phosphate
and four and one-half per cent am-
monia. The phosphate will provide bal-
anced nutriment.
Transplanting the Seedlings.
Let it be understood, then, that when
the young seedlings are in rough leaf,
they should be transplanted into flats.
The bottoms of the flats should have
holes in them for drainage. On the
bottoms of the flats place half an inch
of rough soil for extra drainage. On
this place two inches of soil in which
to plant the seedUngs. It will be an
advantage to mix a 7-inch pot of flne
bone meal with every barrowful of
soil. This slight stimulant will help
the young plants greatly. In trans-
planting, be careful not to injure the
primary root, and avoid crushing the
stem. Allow a distance of at least two
inches from plant to plant, and three
inches from row to row. Air, space and
light help to grow strong, healthy
plants.
^ When the seedlings have a nice quan-
tity of roots and three or four well
developed leaves, they should be potted
off into 3-inch pots. Use a good
fibrous soil, well chopped up, to which
should be added a 7-inch pot of bone
meal to the barrowful of soil. Always
drain the bottom of the pots well with
broken crocks. Good drainage is most
important. A wet, water-logged soil
means stunted growth and diseased
plants. Always pot tomato plants
firmly. A tight, close, porous soil is
ideal for the purpose. Firm potting
means a good supply of fibrous roots
and plenty of root hairs, which taJte
the plant food up from the soil.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
W. M. Deyoe & Co., of Oil City, Pa.,
report excellent sales of cyclamen
plants in 5-inch pans, $1 each being no
exception. "It shows how the public
appreciates our choice strain," re-
marked Manager W. Smith.
L. J. Rowe, of Titusville, Pa., had
some fine cyclamens left, but reports
the largest sales on record. A nice
lot of cinerarias are being grown for
Easter.
George W. Evenden, William J. Even-
den, Charles T. Evenden and Harry L.
Evenden, of Williamsport, Pa., have in-
corporated under the name of Even-
den Bros. Co., with a capitalization of
$50,000. Plans are under way for an
extension of the business.
C. E. Rossiter, of Sunbury, Pa., says
he cannot find a more profitable let-
tuce than Grand Rapids as a winter
crop.
Charles B. Groff, of Frederick, Md.,
has succeeded to the. business of his
brother, David, and undoubtedly will be
as successful, having a long experience
and an up-to-date place.
Henry A. Bester & Sons, of Hagers-
town, Md., quickly recovered from the
confusion caused by the recent fire and
have a well grown stock ready for
spring shipments.
Miss Mary Bester, of Hagerstown, is
much pleased with the season's busi-
ness. Her patrons have stood loyally
by her.
Byer Bros., of Chambersburg, Pa.,
have completed a fine office. They in-
tend to tear down and rebuild the old
range, which is to adjoin the new block,
making one of the most prominent re-
tail places in the Cumberland valley.
U. G. Harglerode, of Shippensburg,
Pa., says he has built up a good busi-
ness through classified ads in The Re-
view. He is somewhat puzzled as to
how to treat prepaid orders for stock
which purchasers wish sent by parcel
post, but make no provision to cover
the cost of postage. To deduct the
amounts would require considerable fig-
uring, and he believes express ship-
ments still are the most satisfactory,
looking at the proposition from every
point of view. Mr. Harglerode has
given his two sons an interest in the
business,
Dan Offerle, of Warren, Pa., reports
a busy season and looks for a double-
header from now on. As soon as the
rush is over, considerable rebuilding
will take place. w. M.

TIME FOR MUM CUTTINGS.
Will you kindly inform us through
The Eeview the best time to take cut-
tings from chrysanthemum plants that
have been kept in a cool house all
winter! L. N. B.— 0.
The best time to take cuttings from
mum plants that have been kept in a
cool house all winter is when the cut-
tings are in condition to be taken.
March and April are ideal months for
this work and plants that have been
kept in a cool house during the winter
should be producing ideal cuttings at
this time. It is an easy matter after
cuttings are rooted to pinch them back.
This will not harm the future plants if
they are not cut back too far, and is
preferable to throwing away a lot of
splendid cuttings, as the first cuttings
which plants make after a winter's rest
are, as a general rule, the strongest.
Chas. H. Totty.
BOOTING CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
What should be the temperature of
sand for rooting chrysanthemum cut-
tings! I am enclosing some of my
cuttings. C. N. — 111.
The chrysanthemum is a cold-
blooded plant and cuttings will root in
the sand without any bottom heat
whatever. It is, however, an advan-
tage to run a line of steam underneath
the sand bench if the question of time
ia important, for when a little heat is
supplied underneath, the cuttings will
root at least a week earlier. It is not,
however, a question of the sand being
kept at 75 degrees or any other spe-
cial temperature; as long as the bot-
tom of the bench is warm it will start
the root action working, but the chrys-
anthemum does not in any stage of its
life require much heat.
On looking at the cuttings of C. N.
I think that, perhaps, he had his sand
too hot, as the cuttings were dried to
powder when they reached me. I may
say, in our case, rooting as we do
hundreds of thousands of plants, we
get the best success in a north house
on which the direct sunlight does not
fall. Cuttings should be well watered
when placed in the sand and not wa-
tered again, at this season of the year,
until they are taken out.
When cuttings are rooted in an aver-
:ige greenhouse, where a mixture of
plants are grown and air is applied,
flifferent conditions will prevail. Cut-
tings will have to be sprayed and wa-
tered to keep them from wilting. If cut-
Lings are allowed to become badly
wilted two or three times the tissues
>?et hard and the cuttings will never
;iake satisfactory plants. If C. N.
'S rooting his chrysanthemums in a
iiouse with other plants, I would say
'0 him not to mind about the warmth
^\ the sand, keep the cuttings from
jilting and by no means let the sand
»e permitted to become dry. If these
I'ules are followed, there is no reason
why C. N. should not have success in
rooting his mum cuttings.
Chas. H. Totty.
MUM CUTTINGS IN AI.ABAMA.
Please give me some advice regard-
ing my chrysanthemum stock plants.
They are in a carnation house and
growing rapidly, some of the shoots
being eight inches high. The variety
is Chrysolora. When should I take
cuttings from these! Will the tops of
these shoots make good cuttings!
These plants were not lifted after flow-
ering last fall, as I had no room for
them. I left them in the bench and
now have several hundred cuttings. I
have Bonnaffon chrysanthemums in the
same bench, but they do not advance
so rapidly as the other variety. Should
the tops of these shoots be broken oflf,
so that the stocks will branch out!
Any information will be appreciated.
H. A. C— Ala.
Your chrysanthemum plants, from
the description, are just right lor tak-
ing the first batch of cuttings, with-
out delay. Take the tops and insert
in the cutting bed. Early varieties
like Chrysolora should always be propa-
gated early to have the best results.
After the tops are taken for cuttings,
the plants will not need any more cut-
ting back to make them break again.
Cuttings of all varieties that are ready
may safely be taken now. The cut-
tings will root better now than when
the weather becomes warmer. L.
TRI-CITIES.
The Market.
The Tri-City florists have certainly
had nothing of which to complain dur-
ing the last three weeks. There has
been a most satisfactory volume of
business and everyone seems to have
received his share of it. The supply of
cut flowers has been unusually short,
but where it was impossible to procure
these, it has been usually possible to
use blooming plants. The demand for
these, however, has taxed the local
growers to their limit.
Of roses. Milady and Shawyer seem
to meet with a large degree of favor,
though Richmond is a good, regular
seller. It is almost needless to mention
the Killarneys. They always prove
good property. For corsage work,
sweet peas and violets have the strong-
est call. Cattleyas, too, find their place
in this work.
The Day After.
March 8, the day following the con-
vention and banquet of the Illinois
State Florists' Association, the visiting
florists were met at the Manufacturers'
hotel, Moline, by the local florists with
enough automobiles to accommodate all.
At 10 o'clock the procession headed for
Government island and gave the visit-
ors a glimpse of its scenic beauties and
points of interest without stopping. A
run along the river on the Iowa side
soon brought the sight-seers to the
range of the Davis Floral Co., where
some of the most wonderful cucumbers
in the country are grown under glass.
Both the visiting and local florists were
much interested, in the crop and the
manner of its preparation for the mar-
ket, as this use of the greenhouse is
entirely foreign to most of them. Leav-
ing here, they were whisked down river
to the Bettendorf conservatory to see
what Mr. Pearson, the superintendent,
had accomplished in such a short time,
and also to look over the conservatory
structure, which was but recently com-
pleted by the Foley Greenhouse Mfg.
Co. Next the park conservatories were
visited and the out-of-town florists
were shown the natural landscape won-
ders of Camp McClellan, the beautiful
residence district of Davenport.
By this time it was noon, and, much
to the surprise of all, after visiting
the greenhouses of Ludwig Stapp, they
were ushered into the packing and ship-
ping room, where they found literally
piles of sandwiches of every known
variety, huge kettles of sauerkraut and
an unlimited supply of Frankfurters.
There were also liquid refreshments in
a variety to suit all tastes. The time
and the place seemed to lend them-
selves to oratory, and at the suggestion
of President Johnson, P. J. Foley, on
behalf of the state association, thanked
Mr. Stapp for his hospitality and the
Tri-City Florists' Club for its highly
successful eifforts to entertain the vis-
itors. Mr. Foley was followed in turn
by George Asmus, of Chicago, J. S.
Wilson, of Des Moines, Harry Bills, of
Davenport, J. F. Ammann, of Edwards-
ville, John Staack, of Moline, A. C.
Kohlbrand, of Chicago, and William
Goes, of Bettendorf.
The party then motored to Moline,
where, after seeing the results of Arvid
Anderson's work on the Deere estate,
it was taken to the establishment of
J. Staack & Sons. Here coflfee and
an unlimited supply of other good
things were served to the accompani-
ment of music. The ever ready auto-
mobiles then speeded the guests to
their respective hotels.
Various Notes.
Three new Moninger houses, each 34x
300 feet, will soon be added to the
range of Ludwig Stapp, Rock Island.
The material is on the ground.
A good plant business is reported
by M. A. Tierney^ proprietor of the
Bills Floral Co., Davenport. Funeral
work, also, has been heavier than usual.
According to Mrs. Forber, of Forber
& Bird, Davenport, that firm has proved
to its satisfaction that it pays to ad-
vertise. The demand for corsages, she
says, has been greater during the last
few weeks than for several months.
Joseph Tuckis, proprietor of the
Flower Shop, Rock Island, always has
an eye open. At the close of the state
convention he bought the entire supply
display of the A. L. Randall Co. As
a result, he is showing a splendid line
of novel baskets. Mr. Tuckis has only
been in the trade four months, but he
already has enough business to keep
himself and two assistants busy.
Henry Gaethje^ Rock Island, says
orders for flowering shrubs and land-
scape work are beginning to come in
already.
William Knees & Sons, Moline, are
growing a particularly excellent lot of

pot plants this year, and experience
little difficulty in disposing of them
locally.
Henry H. Hensley, Rock Island, says
cut flower trade has been active with
him. Corsages and gift boxes have
been selling well.
J. Staack & Sons, Moline, according
to John Staack, are prepared for a
big year. They expect 1916 to be a
banner year for the trade, and so far
it has made good with them.
MINNEAPOLIS.
The Ball at St. Paul.
The Minneapolis florists had a fine
time at the ball held in St. Paul. All
the world and his wife were there. Mr.
and Mrs. Will and Mr. and Mrs. Olson,
of St. Paul, were at home, extending
good wishes and greetings to all com-
ers. Mr. Holm was an able master of
ceremonies. Miss H. B. Whitted, of
Minneapolis, took eleven of her staff,
using a limousine and the new car — •
some car; it cannot be beat; a sure
proof of profits in flowers. All the boys
wore suitable coat flowers and the
ladies wore corsage bouquets of appro-
priate flowers. Everyone had a fine
time and all were pleased with the din-
ner, which was served by the St. Paul
ladies and was a proof that cookery
and flowers are dual occupations. They
saw to it that flowers were tabled with
excellent taste side by side with tasty
cookery.
Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. C. N. Ruedlinger, Mr. and Mrs. W.
D. Desmond, Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Wirth,
Mr. and Mrs. Rice, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
Will.
By the way, some of the boys were
like Oliver Twist in "Pickwick Pa-
pers," and wanted more, not because
they did not get enough, but, as one
expressed it, "I would take a chance
on banner cooking like that if I bust
for it."
Various Notes.
Weather condition^ are still severe.
The sun comes out brightly at times
and then bulbous stock insists on
blooming.
For the Baby week show O. E.
Amundson had a nice window displav
consisting of prettily arranged baskets
of flowers. A place of honor was given
to a basket of yellow crocuses.
T. S. Lynes is back again after a
severe illness. He always carries an
A 1 quality of flowers.
The A. L. Randall Co., of Chicago,
had a tasteful display of goods at the
Radisson hotel. The energetic repre-
sentatives of the firm were pushing and
getting business. If the house supports
the travelers with the same vim, great
business will be done.
''If in business you would rise, either
bust or advertise." Minneapolis flo-
rists are believers in this motto. Bulb-
ous stock is plentiful, ranging from 1%
to 3 cents for first-class stock.
The Merriam Park Nurseries have
30,000 lilies in course of preparation for
Easter. They are in good shape.
Last year several growers rather re-
duced the value of their lilies for want
of space. Crowding is not good for
them.
The Minneapolis Floral Co. has a fine
stock of young geraniums and bedding
plants.
Growers of tulips complain a great
deal of poor results. In some cases half
of the stock has come blind. Sweet
peas are now coming in freely. With
the exception of Yarrawa, the grandi-
flora types are the only ones that will
bloom with the ice on the glass and the
temperature from 10 to 35 degrees be-
low zero. Yarrawa is a magnificent
winter-flowering sweet pea. I have
seen it here in fine shape, with fiower
stems a foot long, when the outside
temperature was 35 degrees below.
Many varieties are winter budders; this
is a winter bloomer. F. E. B.
BALTIMOBE.
The Market.
The advent of Lent last week did not
affect the market to any extent. The
demand in all lines has continued steady
and the supply, while not large, is mov-
ing well. Carnations, instead of becom-
ing cheaper, have risen in price, espe-
cially the fancy, light-colored varieties.
Red and novelty colors remain the same.
Daffodils are arriving more heavily and
selling at a slightly lower price. Val-
ley is shorter in supply but sufficient
for all demands. Roses are fairly plen-
tiful and white was offered in quanti-
ties for the first time in weeks. Single
violets are moving slowly, but doubles
sell satisfactorily. Bulbous stock is be-
coming more plentiful and the prices
have receded somewhat. Smilax is
scarce and only poor, thin strings are
to be had.
Club Meeting and Banquet.
The annual election of officers for
the ensuing club year took place at
the regular meeting of the Flo-
rists' Club, held March 13, and was
followed by an elaborate banquet
at Hotel Rennert. The following
were elected to office: President,
James Hamilton; vice-president, Albert
Fiedler; corresponding secretary, N. F.
Flitton; financial secretary, George Tal-
bot; treasurer, Fred. G. Burger; libra-
rian, C. M. Wagner. The club's attend-
ance as a body at the National Flower
Show at Philadelphia was brought up
and it was decided to leave the date to
the committee in charge. This will be
arranged at an early date and members
duly notified.
The banquet was a decidedly success-
ful one, and was well attended. The
hall was nicely decorated and reflected
credit on those who donated the flowers
and on Robert W. Johnston and William
E. Seidewitz, who tastefully executed
the decoration. Robert L. Graham was
an efficient toastmaster and everything
passed smoothly. The officers made a
plea for better attendances and many
of the members spoke.
Various Notes.
E. A. Seidewitz had a most effective
decoration last week. A well-known
merchant celebrated his eightieth birth-
day anniversary at a local club, and
his country home and grounds were re^
produced on the stage of -the banquet
hall. The arrangement was admirable,
the smallest detail being carried out,
even to the extent of having a hen and
a brood of young chicks running around.
Spring flowers were used on the table
and the entire effect was striking.
Max Forthuber, of the Parkway
Flower Shop, while teaching a new man
how to handle the delivery car, saw
himself in imminent danger of a colli-
sion and pulled the emergency brake in
such haste that the gears were broken.
The damage amounted to about $50 and
a temporary loss of the use of the
machine.
Frederick C. Bauer is cutting some
of his well-grown fiadiance roses. These
have become well known in the local
trade and have been appropriately nick-
named Pink Beauties.
D. T. Connor, of Philadelphia, was a
caller this week.
Posters announcing the National
Flower Show at Philadelphia are mak-
ing their appearance on the local bill-
boards and the railroads are advertis-
ing extensively. The committee in
charge of arrangements of the local club
is pushing things along and Baltimore
is assured of a large representation at
the show.
The club has recognized Billy Sunday
officially and is making arrangements
to attend the evangelist's meetings in
a body. Robert L. Graham is taking an
active part in this affair and all mem-
bers wishing to attend would do well to
notify him of the number they wish to
bring, in order that reservations may
be made. The date will be decided
upon shortly and members notified.
W. F. E.
BXTFFALO.
The Market.
The market conditions of last week
were rather irregular, with but a slight
change from those of the week previous.
Beauties, of course, are at a premium.
Other varieties of roses, such as the
Killarneys, are now at their best both
in length and color. Carnations are
rapidly accumulating and meeting but
a small demand, the quality being poor.
Bulbous stock is not moving so well,
and there is an oversupply of it. Choice
sweet peas now are to be had. Valley
and orchids are decidedly scarce, but
mignonette, myosotis and daisies are
plentiful. Freesias, too, are sufficient
for present requirements. Violets are
about the same, the singles continuing
to be as scarce as ever. Lilacs as yet
remain scarce. Greens are plentiful
and of good quality.
Various Notes.
Recent visitors were William Dykes,
with Edward Jansen, New York; Robert
Greenlaw, of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan
Co., Philadelphia; L. B. Bryant, of
Cambridge, Mass.; August Rolker, of
New York.
A. J. Reichert had the management
of the decorations for the Orpheus ball
at the Broadway Auditorium last week.
One of the week 's visitors was A. J.
Baur, of the Baur Floral Co., Erie, Pa.
The Florists' Club's banquet, which
was held at the Hofbrau, Tuesday,
March 7, was well attended. The an-
nual election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, Emil Brucker; vice-
president, William Sievers; secretary,
William Legg; financial secretary, Mark
Palmer; treasurer, Edward Stroh. Many
application blanks were filled out for
new members. A committee of five was
appointed to hold a special meeting in
regard to the Elks' flower and fashion
show, which they all assure me will be
one grand success from start to finish.

OBITUARY
Edward O. Lovell.
Edward O. Lovell, of Grand Forka,
N. D., died March 7, at the age of 75,
death resulting from a complication of
diseases. The deceased was born in
Boston and moved to St. Paul, Minn.,
about thirty years ago. Twenty years
ago he moved with his family to Grand
Forks, where he started and built up
one of the most flourishing florists' es-
tablishments in that part of the state.
He is survived by his wife, a sister and
two sons. The business will be con-
tinued by the heirs.
Joseph H. Ounningham.
Jos. H. Cunningham, one of the larg-
est growers of primulas, pansies and
ferns in Ohio, died at his home, Dela-
ware, O., March 4, at the age of 59.
His first work as a florist was with
George W. Campbell, at Delaware, O.,
the grower of the famous Delaware
grape. After seven years of work in
that field, Mr. Cunningham started the
present establishment, in about 1885, on
a small scale and in a retail way. Grad-
ually he increased the business and en-
tered the wholesale field, which depart-
ment now is the more important. He
was especially well known for his suc-
cess in growing primulas.
Mr. Cunningham was a man of genial
personality and generous disposition,
living and believing in those principles
which now are often termed old-fash-
ioned. He was a Bepublican and served
four years as a member of the city
council. He is survived by his wife,
Emma J. Cunningham, two daughters,
Marian L. Cunningham and Mrs. Fred
Duffey, and two sons, Eugene J. Cun-
ningham and Oeorge W. Cunningham.
The business will be continued along
the same lines, under the management
of his son, George W. Cunningham.
Lyman T. Curtis.
Lyman T. Curtis, one of Michigan's
pioneer nurserymen and proprietor of
the Genesee County Nurseries, of Flint,
Mich., died March 2 at his home near
Flint, following a month's illness of a
complication of diseases. The deceased
was born at Flint, December 16, 1843,
and in 1886 started his nursery. He
first cultivated fruit trees, but later
enlarged his business to include shrubs
and plants. He is survived by his wife
and five children. Two of the sons will
continue the business.
Angust Kraeger.
August Krueger, who for thirty-six
years conducted a florists' business at
Meadville, Pa., died at his home in
Meadville on the night of February 25.
He had been in poor health for some
time, but his final serious illness cov-
ered a period of only about one week.
Mr. Krueger was born in Germany in
1841, and after serving in the Franco-
Prussian war he immigrated to Amer-
ica, Buffalo, N. Y., being his first stop.
In 1881 he purchased the greenhouses
of Herman Munz, at Meadville, Pa.,
which then, as now, were known as the
Greendale Conservatories. Mr. Krue-
ger was successful in his business and
retired some years ago, being succeeded
by his son, Henry J. Krueger. He is
survived by his wife, one daughter, his
son and two brothers and a sister in
Germany.
Jotan P. Murphy.
John P. Murphy, well-known florist
and seedsman of Iowa, died at his home
in Waterloo, March 5, after an illness
of several months' duration. Mr. Mur-
phy was born in Wisconsin in 1854. He
started a greenhouse business with his
brother-in-law, Walter S. Hall, at Osage,
la., but later he went into business for
himself at Independence. Here he was
highly successful and built up a good

business. About a year ago, on account
of his failing health, Mr. Murphy trad-
ed his business for a farm near Water-
loo, where he lived last summer. He is
survived by his wife and 5-year-old son,
John Paul.
Asa Eldridge Brown.
W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia,
with regret announce the death of their
cashier, Asa Eldridge Brown, Thursday,
March 9. Mr. Brown was bom in New
York city, September 29, 1854. In 1882
he took a position with W. Atlee Bur-
pee & Co., who were then located at 221
Church street, Philadelphia. After at-
taining practical experience in the dif-
ferent departments of the business, Mr.
Brown was made cashier and this posi-
tion he occupied up to the time of his
death.
Mr. Brown had a wide acquaintance
among the seed trade and many times
represented the firm at the annual con-
ventions of the American Seed Trade
Association. Mr. Brown leaves no
children, but a widow and a host of
friends who mourn his loss.

RESULTS.
We give them. Tou get them.
We both have them.
The ground hog proved a faithful pro-
phet this year, all right, but his time is
up. Spring is due and we want our dues.
Cypress is one of the few items enter-
ing into greenhouse construction and
maintenance which has not advanced ma-
terially in price; the rise on tank grade
air-dried cypress lumber is only about
five per cent.
We can see the reason for calling Mme.
Paul Euler rose by the easier name of
Prima Donna, or, perhaps, for rechristen-
ing for retail purposes Antoine Rivoire
as Mrs. Taft, but with Ophelia why call
it Lady Love, as is done in England?
Stock for Easter is likely to lack some-
thing of the usual variety this year. The
date of Easter coming so late, the latest
Easter between 1886 and 1943, many
plants will be past their season. Bulbous
stock already is on the wane; so are
azalesis; violets will be gone. It looks
as though the rose and carnation growers
should profit by good crops.
AccoRDiNO to (Jeorge Sykes, western
manager for Lord & JBurnham Co., one
of the chief reasons why greenhouse
building concerns have been able to hold
their prices down the way they have this
season is that the economies of standardi-
zation are just beginning to be realized.
The houses now being built are nearly all
standard, width, instead of the random
widths of other years. The result is steel
and other material was bought to cut
without waste and was worked up for
stock with economy all along the line.
OUR UNOEBINa WINTER.
The March wind blows over melting snowa.
The air Is soft In the woodland glen;
'Tl8 the time o' year when spring is here —
If It doesn't, get cold and snow again.
The song o' the bird again Is heard.
And one flits over you now and then;
You say, "Ah, soon they'll be all In tune —
If It doesn't get cold and snow again."
The March sun gleams over flooded streams.
The snow is gone from blllside and glen;
'TIs the time o' year when spring is here —
If it doesn't get cold and snow again.
— Chicago Tribune.
MOTHER AND ST. PATRICK.
Mothers' day is so new an institu-
tion that all sorts of liberties are being
taken with it. For instance, the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction in
Indiana has taken it upon himself to
change the date of Mothers' day this
year, combining its observance with
St. Patrick's day, March 17. He has
issued a long letter to the school teach-
ers of Indiana with reference to the
matter. Least objectionable is his re-
quest that a collection be taken on
that day to erect a memorial to the
pioneer mother; what the trade objects
to is the confusion created by an at-
tempt to designate as Mothers' day
any other day than the second Sunday
in May.
AGAIN, CAN YOU BEAT IT?
Week after week the evidence piles
up that there is no means by which
a florist can sell his stock at whole-
sale so quickly and at so little cost
as by advertising it in The Eeview.
Indeed, the splendid volume of adver-
tising carried proves the point without
such letters as the following:
We are Just flooded with orders, thanks to
The Review; shall have to return checks to sev-
eral whose orders cannot be filled. — Charles Tay-
nor. New Carlisle, O., March 2, 1016.
Please discontinue our ad, as we have sold out
90,000 vlncas and cannot supply any more. All
anybody needs Is the goods, the price and an
ad In The Review; business begins right away. —
I>ampert Floral Co., Xenia, 0., March 7, 1916.
Anyone who takes the trouble can
check up and find that the Lampert ad,
five lines in the Classified department,
had appeared five times when this let-
ter was written; total cost, $2,50. (The
ad appeared a sixth time in the issue
printed the day the letter was on its
way from Xenia to Chicago.) The ad
offered stock at 60 cents per hundred,
$5.50 per thousand. If all were sold
at the thousand rate the sales footed
up $495. On an advertising expendi-
ture of $2.50! Again, can you beat itt
When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.
THE OIJ^ES MARKET.
The window glass market is an un-
known quantity. Prices have ad-
vanced, but not so much as conditions
seem to indicate soon will be the case.
The end of the manufacturing season
is not far away, and there are no large
stocks of greenhouse sizes in the hands
of manufacturers; most of the stocks
are held by jobbers or material mills
that bought early and are using their
. ability to supply glass as a means of
securing contracts for other work. The
glass factories are having trouble with
labor, not only on the question of
wages but in the matter of cutting the
smal^ isizes required Ifor greenhouse
use; the men make more money cutting
larger sizes. Also potash, an essential
for glass-making, is difficult to obtain,
and many factories soon must close for
its lack. It is stated the largest manu-
facturer has instructed all branch
managers that no further sales are to
be made without reference to the head
office, indicating that if price and
specifications are not regarded with
favor the business will be declined.
THE NEW ROSE ANNUAL.
The Annual of the American Rose
Society for 1916, edited by J. Horace
McFarland and published by the Mount
Pleasant Press, made its appearance
last week and made good the advance
notices. It is quite the most attractive
book ever issued by a special flower
society or horticultural trades organiza-
tion in this country and should go far
toward the great desideratum, the in-
crease of membership, for there must
be thousands of garden lovers in this
country who will remit $1 yearly for
associate membership when it brings to
them a substantial volume of this char-
acter and contents. The book is bound
in cloth-covered boards and every page
of the 180 within those covers carries
something of interest. The editor of
The Eeview cannot remember ever to
have read one-tenth as much of any
other annual, of this or any other so-
ciety, as he has read of this volume
compiled by Mr. McFarland. It is good
all the way through. One of the best
features is that none of the articles
is long; one can get through the least
interesting of them without becoming
wearied. While the book was designed
primarily for the nonprofessional
grower, there is much in it bearing
directly on trade affairs. For instance:
The Future of the Commercial Growing of
Roses for Cut Flowers, by Wallace R. Plerson.
A Review of the Standard and Newer Varie-
ties of Roses for Forcing, by Charles H. Totty.
Commercial Rose Growing, by John Welsh
Young.
The Growing of the Best Cut Flowers, by
William F. Gude.
What the Wholesaler Looks For In the Han-
dling of Roses as Cut Flowers, by Samuel S.
Pennock.
The announcement is made that the
same capable management will issue
another and even better Rose Annual
February 15, 1917. By rosarians it
will be awaited with impatience.
OHIOAQO.
The Market,
There is nothing in the existing mar-
ket conditions to give rise to complaint.
And though the Lenten season is now
on, there has not been the appreciable
falling off in demand generally expect-
ed. This is quite probably attributed
to the preponderance of cold days over
mild.
One of the most striking features of
the market is the changed complexion
of the Beauty situation. The spring
crops are beginning to come in, with
the result that prices are more or less
uncertain, with a downward tendency
in long and medium length stock. Short-
stemmed stock is already considerably
lower,- Other roses are in slightly bet-
ter supply than they were last week,
but they are experiencing a relatively
stronger demand. Russell and Milady
seem to lead in popularity, though
Ophelia and Sunburst are meeting with
a ready sale. White roses have not
been moving as well as they should. The
heaviest call in all varieties is for the
shorter lengths.
As a result of St. Patrick's day de-
March 16, 1916.

Mention Th« R«Tt«w whm yoo wrltg.
mand, white carnations took a jump
March 10 and continued to bring high
prices during the present week. The
supply of carnations, though by no
means unusually large, is about suffi-
cient to meet the demand at the price.
It has been noted with satisfaction by
the wholesalers that the percentage of
splits now being received is compara-
tively small.
Though plentiful, violets are moving
with exasperating slowness. Jonquils
continue to clear. Tulips are in shorter
supply and are moved without difficulty.
Freesia, however,, does not move as rap-
idly as one would like. Sweet peas are
still a lead item and much excellent,
long-stemmed stock is offered. It might
sell better. Valley is again equal to
the demand. Pansies, calendulas, snap-
dragons, mignonette and daisies are
available, but there is no great clamor
for them. Easter lilies are inclining
to the short side of the market and are
clearing accordingly. Cattleyas are
equal to the daily requirements.
Of greens, adiantum and smilax are
alone on the short side. The call for
decorative stock is keeping pace with
the general demand.
Club Meeting.
The Chicago Florists' Club seldom
has had a more interesting meeting
than that of March 9, for which the
sixty or seventy members present are
indebted to H. N. Tolles, of the Shel-
don organization. Mr. Tolles talked
for more than an hour, discussing mod-
ern methods of reaching results in busi-
ness. Summing up, he said success fol-
lows in proportion as one knows him-
self, knows his business, knows human
nature and applies what one knows.
One bit of advice worth a larger
audience was that, in making an ap-
peal to vanity, the speaker or writer
should use "soft soap" sparingly,
"for," said Mr. Tolles, "almost every-
one knows soft soap is nine-tenths lye,
and lies have no place in business."
The address was so well liked that
a bid was made for a lecturer from
the Sheldon organization to give a spe-
cial course for a fee, the series being
open to club members only. Something
more may be heard of it later.
75c to $1.50
You seldom see the House of Kennicott quoting prices on any-
thing. Because few could appreciate how really low our
prices are till they see our stock.

Retailers' Company Sues Stockholders.
Acting as attorney for the Betail
Florists' Co., the cooperative buying
corporation organized within the mem-
bership of the Retail Florists' Associa-
tion, Morton H. Eddy, 109 North Dear-
born street, filed suit in the Municipal
court March 10 against eight of the
stockholders of the company, as follows:
Leonard J. Stankowlcz, 2f>28 Milwaukee avenue.
EmU JehUk, 1825 Ashland avenue.
Lawrence A. Jensen, 530^ West Chicago avenue.
Vaclav A. Kohout, 3212 West Twenty-second
street.
Karel Moravek, 3226 Ogden avenue.
Joseph Papacek, S222 Morgan street.
Joseph L. Raske, 170 West Jackson boulevard.
Willi m F. Schofleld, 734 North State street.
It is alleged in each suit that "the
defendant subscribed for two shares of
the capital stock of the plaintiff corpo-
ration prior to the issuance of its
charter on to- wit: April 6, 1915, the
par value of each share of said stock
being $50; that though often requested
to do so, said defendant has not paid for
said stock, and that there is now due
and owing on said stock subscription a
balance of $80, payments having been
made as follows, to-wit: April 1, 1915,
$10; June 8, 1915, $10; that a demand
for the same was made by mail January
31, A. D. 1916."
The summons in each case is return-
able March 30.
Various Notes.
American Beauty not only is going,
but is going fast. Following reports
from other growers who are reducing
the space given this former leader, Fe-
lix Reichling states that no new Beau-
ties will be planted at Peter Reinberg's
this season and that all the Beauty
plants more than 1 year old will be
thrown out, eighteen houses of them.
There now are twenty-six houses of
Beauties on the place, eight of them
replanted last season and to be car-
ried another year. The space in the
eighteen houses of Beauties to be
thrown out will be given to increased
plantings of Russell, White Killarney,
Maryland, Richmond and Sunburst, and
to Champ Weiland.
H. B. Kennicott, president of Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., and Miss Olive Artelle,
of San Francisco, will be quietly mar-
ried in Rock Island, 111., March 25. Mr.
and Mrs. Kennicott will make their
home in Chicago, at 3841 Grand boule-
vard.
Growers will be interested in the an-
nouncement that the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Co. has taken over the business,
stock and premises of the James H.
Rice Co., which is being liquidated. The
Pittsburgh company shortly will occupy
the Rice warehouse, which is large and
admirably located, with sidetrack fa-
cilities. A few years ago the Rice con-
cern supplied more greenhouse glass
than any other in the middle west, but
of late years, due to the efforts of A. A.
Lavaque, most of this business has gone
to the Pittsburgh people.
R. J. Parker and E. W. Siebrecht,
both former employees of the A. L. Ran-
dall Co. and widely acquainted in the
trade, have formed a partnership to act
as purchasing agents for out-of-town
buyers. Wholesalers nearly all welcome
and encourage the appointment of local
buying representatives for those at a

cases of mishap that always occur in

Charles Erne still is flat on his back
in Michael Beese hospital, a month after
his operation. His general condition is
excellent, but one of the incisions has
not healed as expected.
When one changes one's mind all
sorts of complications sometimes arise,
as, for instance, in the case of H. N.
Bruns and his British permit to import
via Rotterdam 3,000,000 Hamburg val-
ley pips. The date having become so
late, Mr. Bruns feared to ship via the
Rotterdam boats, which are without
cold storage, and ordered the pips sent
via Copenhagen, where boats with cold
storage are available. But his permit
was for Rotterdam and the British con-
sul at Copenhagen, not having been ad-
vised, would not o. k. the documents.
Result, a resort to the wireless. The
tolls at this end alone were $54 before
word was received from Washington
the London authorities were cabling
Copenhagen to let the Bruns shipment
pass.
The trade here will be interested to
know that C. Q. Anderson, who left
Morton Grove to take charge of the
Minneapolis Floral Co., recently has
joined the staff of Gullett & Sons, Lin-
coln, HI.
It is an old saying that "a prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country, ' ' but William Graham, who
since January 1 has been manager of
the Fleischman Floral Co., has been
sent for to return to his home town of
Philadelphia next week to take charge
of the decorations and floor arrange-
ments of the National Flower Show.

Talk about carrying coals to New-

ranged for space for a trades' display
of florists' supplies at the National
Flower Show at Philadelphia. R. E.

One is almost persuaded that C. L.
Washburn, of Bassett & Washburn, con-
tracted the west coast fever during his
visit to California last summer, as he is
making preparations for another trip
to Pasadena, in company with -Mrs.
Washburn, starting March 24.
Among those who plan to attend the
National Flower Show are W. J. Smyth,

seems that quite a few will go for the
closing days of the show, instead of for

Zech, of Zech & Mann, left for Toledo, 0.,

bowling tournament of the American
Bowling Congress. While there he com-
bined business with pleasure, returning
to Chicago March 13. Mrs. Zech is vis-

A fire, early March 10, destroyed a
frame barn in the rear of the home of
Michael Wiltgen, 502 Florence avenue,
Evanston. An automobile and two
horses were also destroyed. The loss
has been estimated at $5,000.
The increased salability of tulips is
commented on by A. T. Pyf er, who says
he believes the small receipts in whole-
sale houses is accounted for more be-
cause of growers' ability to sell at re-
tail than by decreased number of bulbs
successfully forced. He says he knows
several who sent much of their output
to the wholesale market last year who
are retailing nearly all of it this sea-
son, among them Pyfer & Olsem, of
Wilmette.
Out on Gunnison street Peter Pearson
has had the best winter season in his
experience and is ready for a big spring
business. He is developing two sepa-

retail and the other wholesale shipping
in seeds, plants and bulbs.
John Michelsen, of the E. C. Am-

was not what could be called brisk in
the market, the arrival of Lent was al-
most imperceptible; he says he has
ceased to regard it as a market factor.

One of the features of the evening

were pasted on singly, in a manner that

The Market.
Lent has not nearly so much effect as
the weather on the flower market. That
is the way one wholesaler put it, and
all the others said that was true. So
while the Lenten market opened a little
uncertainly, production was so much
curtailed by the severe weather that
when business came the small accumu-
lation of flowers was rapidly taken at
excellent prices. Carnations have been
particularly shy, with the added call
for Ireland's patron saint's day.
Whites have advanced in price from $1
to $2 per hundred over colored carna-
tions of the same quality. Through an
error in last week's report, it was made
to appear that fancy carnations brought
more than select, whereas it should have
read that the funny thing was they did
not, the buyers then being unwilling to
pay more than $4 per hundred for any-
thing, no matter how good. Now they
are paying from $5 to $6 for white, with
a probable intention, alas, of dyeing
them. The colored carnations remain
at $3 to $4. Sweet peas are becoming
more abundant. They have developed
a slight weakness in price, due prob-
ably to the expectation that a vast num-
ber will come in after the first warm
day. The market has been helped, or,
perhaps it would be better to say,
steadied, by lighter receipts of bulbous
flowers, induced by accurate Lenten
timing. Asparagus plumosus has become
plentiful; really fine stock is in fair de-
mand, but the odds and ends of weak
and imperfect sprays bunched together
do not go well.

Corrent Events.
The Robert Craig Co. has completed
a large real estate deal, or, it would
be more accurate to say, two transac-
tions— one a sale, the other a purchase.
The sale was of a 250-foot front on
Chestnut street, at an advantageous
price. The ground is to be used for a
high school. This means that the Rob-
ert Craig Co. has sold the remaining
half of its frontage on Chestnut street.
The purchase made by the company was
of a small piece of ground required to
square off their Market street front.
Some of the greenhouses near Chestnut
street will have to be torn down, but
most of the place will remain na it
now stands, until the company disposes
of its Market street front, extending
from Forty-ninth street to Fiftieth
street. It is probable that when the
time comes for this sale the business
will be transferred to Norwood, where
the large range of greenhouses is lo-
cated on an extensive property.
Frederick A. Steinhoff has given up
the flower store in the Snellenburg de-
partment store, at Twelfth and Girard
streets. This is bad news for the floral
world, as Mr. Steinhoff 's ability to move
large quantities of plants and flowers
has been received with much favor in
March 16, 1910.

business circles. Verona & Steinhoff
opened their flower store with great
eclat in Snellenburg's, in September,
1914. Their idea was flowers at half
price. The depressed condition of the
market during the entire season that
followed, coupled with Mr. Steinhoff 's
personal popularity, enabled them to
carry on a large business successfully.
Mr. Verona withdrew at the beginning
of the present season. The buoyant
market has been unfavorable for quan-
tity buying at low prices for many
months. To that cause is ascribed Mr.
Steinhoff 's retirement. N. Snellenburg

ment this week.

there will be corresponding shading of
values. Lent, too, is proving a greater
menace to the market than for many-
years and the retailers are complain-
ing.
American Beauties have taken quite
a tumble. March 11 40 cents each
was top figure for the best of them.
Hadley ran a tie with American
Beauty. Prima Donna, Ophelia, Kil-
larney Brilliant and Hoosier Beauty
also were in demand at good prices.
The lower grades of roses held quota-
tions the most steadily and were in
best demand. The finest carnations
did not go above 3 cents last week and
$20 per thousand was the quotation in
large quantities for any but the novel-
ties. Nothing sold under $10 per thou-
sand, however. Top for valley was $4.
The low grades are now falling into the
hands of the street merchants. There
is a tremendous supply of longiflorum
lilies and most of them are deficient in
quality. A few sold at 10 cents last
week, but most of them went at 6 cents
and under. Many orders are being
booked at 10 cents for Easter. Callas
are abundant and prices are lower
than for many weeks.
Cattleyas are holding well at the
quotations of the last few weeks.
Schr^ederse is hard to move. Gardenias
have fallen to $2 per dozen. The crop
is on. Freesia has had its day. The
supply is much smaller. The market
last week was not overburdened with
tulips, narcissi or daffodils. Sweet
peas have to be long-stemmed and per-
fect to attract buyers. Violets hold
steady at low prices, as supply and
demand seem to harmonize. There are
plenty of daisies, pansies, mignonette,
lilac and the other spring flowers and
flowering shrubs.

and the expression of various opinions
as to the best interests of the society
were features of the evening.

The Market.
Lent brought with it an extra pro-
duction of flowers and a general slump
in sales. Social events of all kinds
have been called off, at least for the
present, but the dealers expect a re-
vival of business before the close of
the month. The curtailment of the de-
mand caused prices to drop far below
normal, and sweet peas, which brought
up to $2 per hundred early last week,
quickly dropped to $5 per thousand.
They are far more plentiful and of as
fine quality as have ever been seen in
this market. American Beauty roses
are' now more plentiful and can be had
at $2 per dozen, the highest price being
$6 for extra select stock. Other good
roses run from $8 per hundred down to
whatever price the purchaser wishes to
offer, for in many instances, where
quantities are involved, no reasonable
price is refused. Carnations -are not
plentiful, but in view of the condition
of the market there are enough to go
around. Violets are practically off
crop, but their passing is not noticed
and their place is well filled by the
overaupply of sweet peas. Gardenias
are becoming more plentiful. The
orchid situation locally remains un-
changed and practically all of the stock
is coming in from more northern points.
Jonquils remain low in price, but have
been meeting with a fair sale. There
is any quantity of Easter lilies of extra
fine quality, but up to this time the
price has remained stable at $12.50 per
hundred. The market is filled with
good blooming plants.
Unless something unforeseen happens,

Club Meeting.
K. Lloyd Jenkins, of Anacostia, was
unanimously elected president of the
Florists' Club at the monthly meeting
held March 7. The other oflBcers elected
were: Vice-president, Adolph Gude;
secretary, Clarence L. Linz; treasurer,
William F. Gude. The latter two offi-
cers were reelected, as were the follow-
ing members of the executive commit-
tee: George Field, Adolph Gude,
Theodore Diedrich, George H. Cooke,
David Bisset and William H. Ernest.
The surprise of the evening was the
presentation by William F. Gude, on
behalf of the other members of the club,
of a handsome sterling silver bread tray
to the retiring president, George H.
Cooke. Mr. Cooke responded in a neat
speech.
George W. Hess also was taken un-
awares, for by a unanimous vote his
name was transferred to the list of hon-
orary members.
William F. Ekas, of Baltimore, Md.,
was present as representative of the

ingtonians when the special train to be
engaged by the latter reaches their city.
Harry B. Lewis, chairman of the
transportation committee, announced
that arrangements have been made to
leave at 9 a. m. Monday, March 27,

The fare is $3.40, one way, with 75

Lewis stated that nearly 100 will go

The Senate has passed the Johnson
bill, known as the District of Oolum-
bia "pure-advertising" measure, which
makes it unlawful for any person or

The Market.
The market has greatly improved in
regard to supply and quality of stock.
The demand fell oflE considerably last
week owing to the opening of the Len-
ten season, which always affects the
trade somewhat. Transient trade, among
the downtown florists, was fairly good.
Prices have held up remarkably well
considering the quantity of stock ar-
riving daily. Boses of extra quality
have not been overplentiful; in fact, all
grades are cleaning up well. Ophelia,
Eussell, Ward and Killarney have the
call. Few Beauties are seen. Carna-
tions have improved in demand and
prices hold up well. The Enchantress
varieties are in good demand. Good
quality Wards, too, demand stiff prices.
Sweet peas are arriving in enormous
quantities and prices have dropped con-
siderably, in order to dispose of them.
Fancy Spencers, however, demand 75
cents to $1 per hundred. Bulbous stock
is receiving its share of the demand,
especially jonquils and daffodils, tulips

letier were adopted and read. Messrs.

zation of this kind. This committee
consists of "W. S. Wells, chairman; H. C.
Irish, F. Windier, W. J. Pilcher and C.
C. Sanders.
After the meeting adjourned, Mr.

for the present, on returning from lunch
one day last week, was asked how he
felt. The answer was: "Bully; just
finished a big bowl of oxtail soup. ' '
Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros.,
says they had one of the largest funeral
orders in the history of the concern last
week. There were several large designs
costing $500. Telegraph orders are nu-
merous this month.
The Robert Thomson Co., local green-
house builders, says it has a number of
advance orders for new greenhouses and
for rebuilding old ones. The new work
consists mostly of private conservato-
ries.
Charles Steidle, of Olivette, Mo., will
build three jiew houses, 36x250, this
summer. He recently visited Chicago,
where he placed the order with the
American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.
W. A. Rowe was a visitor in Chicago
last week and returned in time to tell
us of it at the club's meeting. He con-
templates building another 300-foot
house this summer.
George Waldbart's right bower. Von
Hoffmann, looked over the wholesale
market last week with both feet on the
ground. It is seldom that the count
comes to the market and when he does
something is sure to be brewing at
Grand avenue and Olive street.
Any florist interested in a state flo-
rists' association should send his name
and address to W. S. Wells, 4158 Flad
avenue. Mr. Wells is chairman of the
committee on a state organization of
florists.
March 9, five years ago, W. C. Smith
was married to Miss Helen West, of
Edwardsville, HI. Mr. Smith celebrated
the event last week by passing out
cigars to all who remembered and he
says there were quite a few who did.
The Retail Florists' Association will
hold its monthly meeting March 20, at
the Mission Inn Garden. The annual
banquet will take place after the meet-
ing. The heads of the five wholesale
houses are invited to attend. President
Young assures us of some highly inter-
esting entertaining during the evening.
Nat Kingsley, of MuUanphy Florists,
celebrated his fourth wedding anniver-
sary March 11.
M. S. Newman, Fred C. Weber, F. H.
Weber, C. C. Sanders, 6. Waldbart and
Young, west end florists, say they have
had a busy season with society. Now
that Lent is here, work of this kind has
slackened and preparations are being
made for Easter.

The weather last week was fine and
the downtown florists experienced a
large over-the-counter trade. Cut stock
was plentiful and low prices pre-
vailed. Violets and sweet peas were
the leaders in demand. J. J. B.
BOSTON.
The Market.
We had little sunshine last week and
a low average temperature, with almost
daily snow storms. As a consequence,
flowers opened slowly and both carna-
tions and roses made better prices than
for some time. But for the arrival of
Lent and the consequent cessation of
the social activity, prices would have
advanced quite sharply. We now have
clearer skies, and, with larger offerings
of flowers, prices are once more on the
down grade. There still is only a lim-
ited supply of American Beauty roses,
but these are not missed when such
sorts as Bussell, Hadley, Francis Scott
Key and Ophelia are to be had. Rose
prices advanced sharply last week, but
are lower now, thanks to clearer skies.
Carnations are somewhat off crop with
a number of large growers. This and
the cold, sunless weather prior to March
12 caused the carnation supply to short-
en sharply, but blooms now are arriving
more freely.
Sweet peas of every imaginable qual-
ity are seen. The prices vary from 35
cents to $1.50 per hundred, although
some short-fetemmed stock has gone as
low as $1 per thousand. The Spencers
are of grand quality. Violets remain
about the same. Bulbous stock has been
cleaning up well. Antirrhinums are ar-
riving more freely; good spikes realize
$1.50 to $2 per dozen. Lilies are just

about suflScient for the demand, but
callas are in heavy supply. Yellow
marguerites are a little lower in price.
Mignonette is abundant and good in
quality. Forget-me-not is rather druggy,
but wallflowers, cornflowers and Eng-
lish primroses sell welh Small lots of
anemones, ranunculi, clivias, amaryllis
and irises are seen.
Few TriansB cattleyas are left. The
supply is now mainly C. Schroederse, but
a few Mossiae are already coming in.
Other orchids include cymbidiums, cyp-
ripediums and phaltenopsis. Shamrocks
have been in fairly good demand, but
these are less called for than a year ago.
Trade in flowering plants is now quite
good, with a wide assortment of stock
available.
Various Notes.
Kidder Bros, are bringing in some
superb Spencer sweet peas and violets.
The peas are grown cooler than with
the majority of growers and possess
great substance.
Peter Hylen, of Eandolph, says this
has been a successful season with Dutch
bulbous stock. He grows Murillo and
La Beine tulips. Golden Spur, Silver
Spur, Von Sion and Victoria narcissi
as his leaders.
Every indication points to a fine
spring show at Horticultural hall, which
opens March 17. The plant classes all
promise to be well contested. Small
exhibitions are scheduled for April 8
and 29, while the big show of the year
opens May 10 and lasts five days. About
$5,000 is offered in prizes at this show.
W. K. Southworth, formerly South-
worth & Greene, of Stoughton, has 85,-
000 Spanish iris growing in solid beds
and will soon have some ready to cut.
His other specialty is sweet peas, which
now are being cut in quantity.

At Comley's, on Park street, I noted
March 11 some fine hybrid clivias and
amaryllis, also a fine assortment of in-
teresting spring bulbous flowers, many
in small receptacles.
E. & J. Farquhar & Co. have more
orders booked for nursery stock at their
Dedham nurseries than in any previous
year. There is no immediate prospect
of early digging, with eighteen inches
of snow on the ground and zero tem-
peratures as late as March 12.
Do not forget the meeting of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club March
21. The lecture on "Trees and Shrubs
for Spring Planting" should prove
timely and interesting.
At Penn 's, last week was a busy one,
especially in funeral work. Orders for
casket covers were particularly numer-
ous. Francis Scott Key and Ophelia
roses were featured in the window dis-
plays.
If the ground hog had any friends,
he now surely has lost them all. We
had a dark day February 2, ground-hog
day; heavy snow fell that day and we
have not seen much bare ground since.
Snowfalls almost daily were a feature
last week. With the sun getting
brighter daily, we hope that the heavy
snow accumulations may soon disappear.
There will be a large representation
from Boston at the Philadelphia sho^.
A few will go for the opening, but the
majority will leave March 27 and 28

AXEBIOAV SEED TBABE A8800IATZ0N.
President, John M. Lupton, Mattltuck, L. I.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel, OleTeland, O.
Thirty-fourth annual convention, CbicaKO. June
20 to 22, 1816.
The obituary column this week carries
the announcement of the death of A. E.
Brown, who frequently has represented
W. Atlee Burpee & Co. at seed trade
meetings.
With the peak of normal seasons only
ten days away, the mail ordei' seed trade
is lagging; business is good, but not so
good as it was expected to be. The post-
ponement of spring is blamed for it and
a grand rush is looked for when the
weather warms up.
Among the seedsmen who attended the
recent Chicago disclaimer conference the
consensus of opinion was that next year
will see seed supplies considerably shorter
than this season. This is based on the
belief that increased production at home
and in neutral countries will not make
up for a further reduction in imports
from the countries tKat are at war.
H. N. Bruns, of Chicago, who recently
was given a permit by the British gov-
ernment for the importation via Eotter-
dam of some millions of G}erman valley
pips, decided not to trust the stock on a
boat without cold storage and ordered it
shipped via Copenhagen. The complica-
tions that ensued are described in the
Chicago news letter elsewhere in this
issue.
The Illinois Seed Co., Chicago, has pur-
chased from the Chicago Telephone Co.
and others 393x126 feet on the Balti-
more & Ohio tracks at Forty-first Avenue
and Fillmore street, and plans to improve
it in the near future with a large plant
for the handUng of grass seeds. It re-
cently was reported in this column that
the leased property now occupied by Mr.
Greene's concern has been sold to become
a part of a railroad terminal.
THE CATALOGUE POSTAGE BILL.
Following the visit of W. F. Ther-
kildson and E. C. Duncan, of Philadel-
phia, to members of Congress and offi-
cials of the Postoffice Department,
Senator Bankhead has introduced a
bill in the Senate identical with that
introduced in the House by Congress-
man Tague, providing for the mailing
of catalogues and other similar printed
matter, now mailable under eight
ounces in weight at the third-class rate
of 1 cent for two ounces or fraction
thereof, at a pound rate of 8 cents, the
rate on individually addressed copies
or parcels to be not less than 1 cent
each. The text of this bill was printed
in The Review of March 2, the clause
providing for the minimum payment
of 1 cent on each piece of mail matter
having been added in the Senate bill.
It is expected that this will meet any
objections that may be offered by the
postal officials on the ground that the
proposed measure would result in a
loss of revenue. • C. L. L.

VE WAR will prevent people
from going abroad this year.
As never before, they will be at their
country places, taking keen interest
in them, and spending money freely
for their pleasure.
Flowers and plants will be in
great demand — especially the new
and novel things. English novelties
are bound to be particularly popular.
Send 35 cents at once for Sutton's
catalogue and make your selections
from the choice collection of Sutton's
tested novelties. This catalogue is
so elaboi-ate and expensive to pro-
duce that you will readily appreciate
why we make a small charge of 35
cents for a copy; but this will be
promptly refunded with your first
order for $5.00 or more.

9, against William Eoss by Charles D.
Ross and Alfred S. Chescheir, remain-
ing members of the concern, in which
they ask for a judgment for $15,000
damages and for a restraining order
enjoining the defendant from using the
name "Will Ross" in connection with
the seed business and also from solicit-
ing directly or indirectly any of the
trade of the Ross Seed Co., which was
owned and enjoyed by the Ross Seed
Co. on and prior to July 19, 1915, the
date of withdrawal of the defendant
from the concern.
It is alleged in the petition that on
the date of the dissolution of the part-
nership the plaintiffs paid to the de-
fendant $35,000 in cash for his interest
in the business and for his good will,
and agreed further to assume the pay-
ment of alimony to Gertrude A. Ross,
former wife of William Ross; that in
consideration of the written contract
the defendant agreed not to use the
name of the Ross Seed Co., nor any sim-
ilar name which might reasonably be
expected to deceive or mislead the pub-
lic into the belief that the person using
such name is connected with the con-
tinuing partners doing business under
the name of the Ross Seed Co. It is
alleged that the contract has been vio-
lated on numerous occasions since it
was entered into and the money paid to
the defendant, and that unless enjoined
the defendant will work great and ir-
reparable injury to the plaintiffs, the
continuing partners in the business.

SNAPDRAGON NEWS
By using the several varieties of snapdragon which we grow, you
can do just what we have done the past year— cut blooms everjjr
day of every month. No matter what season, there will be one or
more of our several varieties in bloom. This is a remarkable record
for snapdragon, as the average variety does not flower until April.
We have had an abundance of white, yellow, garnet and pink, and
since February 15 have been cutting gorgeous spikes of our lovely,
matchless Silver Queen.
Right here we "rise to say" that for richness, for beauty, for habit
of growth, for productiveness, from cutting^s, there is no snap-
dragon on earth to match SILVER QUEEN. Our stock of it was
greatly reduced last summer by heavy rains, but we are "coming
back," and offer a limited number of rooted cuttings at $10.00
per 100— ready next month.
Seed of our regular stand-by varieties should be freely sown at
once. Price of seed of our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for
$2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Phelp's White, Yellow.
Buxton and Fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Plants of each
of these varieties, $6.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. Free directions.

The Floifets' Review
.Ma«cb 16. 1916.
tional Canners' Association adopted
this resolution:
Beflolved, that Secretary Gorrell be requested
to notify D, M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Micb.,
that In the opinion of the canners present at
this conyentlon tbelr advertisement wbicb ap-
peared in the Saturday Evening Post, issue of
February 12, 1" extremely harmful to the best
interests of our Industries.
Not content with that, the following
telegram was wired by the Western
Cianners' Association through its sec-
retary:
D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.:
I note with deep regret your advertisement In
this week's Issue of the Saturday Evening Post,
and cannot help but believe you were not cog-
nizant of its real meaning before beliig published.
As it is a gross Injustice to the canning inter-
ests of America, •! feel confident, however, to
rely upon your deep sense of fairness to make
such reparations as the best interests of our
business demand,
G. W. DRAKE,
Secretary Western Canners' Association.
This is from the reply received by
Secretary Drake:
We are grateful to yon for refusing to believe
that we would consciously do the canning indus-
try an Injustice. As a matter of fact, we do
not recall ever before having been suspected of
trying to Injure anybody, were he customer or
competitor. In the present case we confess be-
ing bewildered at the resentment our advertise-
ment cauted. We have Just reread it, and ask
that you also do so. We say: "In winter
home-grown fruits cannot be available, but Why
unuecessarily rrolong the season of cans?" We
say, too: "Do you know that, as a rule, the very
choicest varieties of fruit and vegetables can
never be tinned, or even brought to market, be-
cause they do not poesess fiber or rind or some
such protection against early wilting? Start a
garden." It did not occur to us that anybody
would take offense ^t a simple statement of
elementary fact. We do not wish to involve
you in long correspondence, but we invite you to
tell us freely wherein you consider we are at
fault. Wherein was our advertisement a "gross
mUrepresentation of facts and an injustice to
the canners' business"?
Secretary Drake replied at length,
expressing his satisfaction with the re-
sponse or D. M. Ferry & Co. to his
telegram and setting forth in detail
six exceptions on the part of the can-
ners to the advertisement in question.
Secretary Drake told D. M, Ferry &
Co. that such advertising was wrong
in spirit and that its statements be-
trayed a lack of knowledge of the
facts. He then received this further
statement from the Detroit seedsmen:
The advertisement under discussion was pub-
lished "with malice toward none." It passed the
same scrutiny to which our advertisements have
been subjected for thirty years. We were and
are astonished to find that any canner should
deny the superiority of the best home-grown
fruits and vegetables over those transported from
a distance. In tins or otherwise. However, we
believe It will be possible for us in the future
to encourage nlantlng of gardens without giving
offense to canners or anybody else. It will be
our pleasure to do so. - •
In closing the incident Secretary
Drake wrote:
Liko you, I will refrain from every possible
pretext of argument, contenting myself In the
very happy thought that you will refrain from
causing to be issued advertisements of the kind
referred to. I flatter myself. In the precon-
ceived knowledge, as evidenced in my telegram,
that you would do this very thing if properly
placed before you, and can assure you the abso-
lute confidence and respect of every canner In
the business, myself especially.

CONFIDENCE AND
GOOD JUDGMENT
pave two-thirds of the wiptTv^o success
in anything in life. I w^^wtite you a
very short story on a lesson I learned
on this important subject on one of my
many travels.
Confidence without good judgment
usually leads to failure, but the same
efforts exerted with good judgment will
bring success in time.
I strayed into a business place and,
after my usual "self -introducing"
process, the man in the case looked at
me and informed me thusly: "Well,
if youda come arou' yer about eighteen
years ago I mighta married you, but I
gotta wife now. ' ' At once I fell for
the comedy, dropped my head and arms
in the most dejected manner, looked
like the only mourner at my own fu-
neral, and groaned in sorrow. Tough
luck; I'm always missing when good
things are going easy. He did not say
for sure he would, he only "mighta,"
but I know he "mighta" not, if I
knew anything about it.
That man's confidence and conceit
combined make him think he could
own and control the world, only he
doesn't care to. That's confidence
without good judgment; such charac-
ters are always happy. Dear me, I need
a little space for a few items for sale:

FISCHER'S NEW FBEESIAS.
Before me as I write is a bunch of
about twenty gpikes, selected at ran-
dom from R. Fischer's new freesias.
The beauty of this strain, their size
and coloring, and the substance of the
petalage can hardly be conceived by
those who know only the older freesias.
It may be stated here that Mr. Fischer
and Mrs. Fischer, who is as deeply in-
terested as her husband^ have not fol-
lowed any slipshod methods in perfect-
ing their strain. Just as they did at
Great Neck, L. I., where they spent
many years perfecting Purity, they
have done with the new types. Every
year thousands of seedlings have been
thrown away and only the best se-
lected, until they have secured a fixed
type in a great variety of colors. At
the risk of being a little previous, 1
think I can safely say that at least one
variety, an immense lavender-tinted
flower, with white throat, will be of-
fered to the trade this year, while
doubtless others will follow in quick
succession.
The raiser of Purity has now a white
that grows thirty inches or more in
height, with a large, branched spike,
any or the branches of which are larg-
er than the finest Purity. The petals are
like ivory, the individual blossoms two
inches across and of the purest snow
white. Another is a clear yellow and
this is quite rare, as yet. Not that
there are not plenty of yellows in the
collection, but those that come up to
the standard of size and purity of
color set by Mr. Fischer do not ap-
pear very often. The same with the
pink. It takes a long time to raise
a stock from the first bulb of a new
seedling, but this is what has been
done at South Anita, carefully and
painstakingly for the laSt nine years.
Growers from Holland, who are well
posted with all that has been done
there, are surprised at the progress
made here and, although they have
known the small colored freesias for
years, they are convinced that there is
nothing like Fischer's varieties extant
in Europe.
LOS AKOELES.
The Market.
During the early part of the week
business took a downward turn and,
altogether, we had one of the quietest
weeks for a long time. The high tem-
perature in a measure may have been
to blame for this, but the lack of good
funeral work also was a factor. The
death of a prominent Japanese pro-
vided much work for the Japanese flo-
rists, but taken altogether the week
has been a poor one. Stock is in
excellent shape now and there is plenty
of it. Roses are not so good as they
have been. Carnations are extra good.
Violets are practically over and only
a few freesias are left. The bulbous
stock is extremely fine, several growers
having grown the newer varieties this
year in quantity. The large quantity
of stock on hand makes the retail
stores attractive. In greens, plumosi^s
is scarce and Sprengeri is coarse and
Rodolph Fischer's New Lavender Freesia» Splendens.
not attractive. There are few plants
to be had and these not of good
quality.
Various Notes.
Alois Frey, of Crown Point, Ind., is
in town, having arrived March 4. His
purpose in coming out is to look over
the freesia situation, especially his col-
ored varieties growing at Montebello.
Mr. Frey says he is a little disap-
pointed as to the length of stem devel-
oped in the open here and says it is
not nearly so good as that produced
at the home pfiice under glass.
The usfial meeting of the Pasadena
Horticultural Society was held March
3 in the Board of Trade rooms. There
was a large attendance to hear R.
Fischer lecture on the freesia, giving
his experience both as the grower of
Purity and of the new colored strain
he now is growing. Mr. Fischer's re-
marks were extremely interesting.
The Nurserymen's Exchange held a
banquet at the Hoffman cafe March 1,
with Edward Rust in the chair. Among
those present were R. Teague, of San
Dimas; L. Armstrong, of Ontario; T.
D. Robertson, of Fullerton; F. Kohl,
of the Orange County Nurseries, Ana-
heim; Anton Soethout, of Hollywood;
the brothers Jannoch, F. Warner, W.

Howard, H. E. Richards and Earl Side-
bottom, of Los Angeles. After a good
meal had been discussed the next thing
on the program was the question of
assessment of nursery stock. Mr. Side-
bottom, as secretary of the exchange,
had gone into the matter and he, as
well as Messrs. Germain and Howard,
made it clear to all present that if the
exchange had done no other good it
had at least paved the way to a much
lower assessment this year than last.
Mr. Coolidge was happy as usual in a
humorous speech bubbling over with
good stories. Several new members
joined the exchange.

reports that business is good generally
but a little quiet during the recent hot
days. The new store on Seventh street
is unusually attractive.
Many of the newer tulips, daffodils
and other bulbous stock are in bloom
at the nursery of the Germain Seed &
Plant Co. Inquiries for Easter stock
here are already numerous and it ap-
pears as though lilies, rhododendrons
and similar stock will be cleaned up
beforehand.

SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
The market is flooded with flowers,
but the quality averages fairly well,
and an unusually active demand for
this season of the year keeps the sur-
plus down. Ordinary carnations are
plentiful and cheap, the increasing sup-
ply of good bulbous stock having a
tendency to keep the price down. Really
fine carnations are always in limited
supply, however, and the light offerings
find a ready outlet at satisfactory
prices. Jonquils and daffodils continue
plentiful, but no one is anxious to see
them go, as they maintain their popu-
larity well. Poeticus narcissus is be-
coming plentiful and sells well. There
is a good supply of snowdrops, and
forget-me-nots, stocks, marigolds and
migrnonette are arriving in sufficient
quantity to supply all requirements.
No Spanish iris has put in an appear-
ance as yet, but there are many of
the native and German varieties, some
of which are good. Callas are seen
everywhere, being almost too common
to sell well, and Easter lilies also are
exceedingly plentiful. Some cornflowers
are beginning to appear, but the supply
is too limited for them to be much of
a feature. Liberal offerings of butter-
cups, poppies and several other wild
flowers find a ready market. An abun-
dance of peach blossoms finds an outlet
at fairly good prices. There still is a
good cut of freesias, and many anemo-
nes and ranunculi are being used to
advantage. A nice cut of Chrysolora
tulips is arriving from San Leandro.
There are plenty of good potted hya-
cinths, and many azaleas are in evi-
dence. More rhododendrons are com-
ing in and they are welcome, and good
potted lilacs are arriving. Rambler
roses in pots are attracting consider-
able attention. Roses, generally, are
in better supply and good stock is
readily absorbed. Cecile Brunner,
Ophelia, Russell and Sunburst are popu-
lar. An active demand is reported for
plants for bedding, nice pansies being
unusually popular. Orchids and gar-
denias are fine and move fairlv well.
Asparagus is improving, but is still
rather scarce, and other greens are in
good demand.

The monthly meeting of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society was held

favorable report and turned the funds
on hand over to the treasurer. He
announced that plans are well under
way for the entertainment and dance
to be given March 25, which promises
to be one of the most enjoyable social
functions ever attempted by the soci-
ety. Announcement was made that it
is time for the fall flower show com-
mittee to meet, and a report probably
will be forthcoming at the next regular
session. Applications for membership
were received from Frank Forrest,
Peter Filipelli, Ernest Stover and J. R.
MacDonald, all of whom are connected
with the Fairmont Floral Co., of 141
Powell street.
The evening's exhibits made a cred-
itable showing and much satisfaction
was expressed by various members
over the splendid character of the ex-
hibits so far this year and the interest
being shown in them. Three vases of
Erica persoluta rosea, by E. James,
took 90 points; a spray each of Cat-
tleya Schroederae, C. Fournieri and C.
Thomtonii, by J. A. Carbone, 95 points;
a vase of Phalsenopsis Luddemanniana,
P. amabilis, P. Stuartiana, P. Schil-
leriana and P. leucorrhoda, by the Mac-
Eorie-McLaren Co., 90 points.
The business session was followed
by a smoker, but it was not largely
attended, as it had not been previously
announced. With a little effort, how-
ever, those present succeeded in getting
around a liberal supply of ham and
sandwiches. As soon as refreshments
were opened a toast was drunk to the
members on the other side of the
Eockies. T. Taylor and D. Raymond
competed as story-tellers, and the time
passed pleasantly despite the light at-
tendance.
Various Notes.
Two Berkeley florists were victim-
ized recently by a clever bogus check
artist. The man, well dressed and with
a pleasing manner, first walked into
Walter Norton's shop, greeted Mr.
Norton familiarly, inquired how busi-
ness was, etc. Mr. Norton did not
recognize him, but thought he must
have met him before, so he carried out
his part, not wishing to betray him-
self. The man finally left an order for
an elaborate floral piece to be delivered
that day at a large funeral. He asked
to have it charged, or said he would
pay cash if Mr. Norton would cash a
check for about twice the amount of
his bill. This Mr. Norton did. When
the floral piece was delivered at the
funeral no one there had ever heard
of the man, and the check turned out
to be bogus. Soon after it was learned
that the same game had been worked
successfully on the Pacific Floral Co.
The MacRorie-McLaren Co. is bring-
ing in a nice cut of heather, much of
which has been used in decorative
work.
The cut of carnations at the Penin-
sular Nursery, San Mateo, has been
light, but an especially fine crop of
Pink Sensation and Mrs. C. W. Ward
now is coming from the range. N.
Peterson, proprietor, says he is well
cleaned up on rooted cuttings.
The Sacramento Florists' Society is
preparing to hold a fall flower show,
which will be the first event of the
kind ever held in the Capitol City.
Several florists of that vicinity are
working hard for the success of the
show, as they believe it will have far-
reaching effect in popularizing flowers.

astic supporters, °was in San Francisco
last week.
The $1,000 prize rose grown and
exhibited at the Panama-Pacific Inter-
national Exposition has been named
Lillian Moore, after the wife of Charles
C. Moore, president of the exposition.
The international jury of awards,
which had the naming of the rose,
made the announcement a few days
ago, after sending the prize check of
$1,000 to Hugh Dickson, of Belfast,
Ireland, its creator.
Terra cotta urns, vases and pots have
been added to the list of terra cotta
articles that may be shipped from
Sacramento, Cal., to Portland, Ore., for
22^ cents per hundred pounds. The
rate from San Francisco and Oakland
is 20 cents per hundred pounds.
Mr. Azzora, who has stores in Stock-
ton and Fresno, is opening a wholesale
place at 335 Twelfth street, Oakland,
in the old location formerly occupied
by the former Hogan-Kooyman Co.
The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing
in a fine cut of Ceciie Brunner roses,
getting about enough to meet the de-
mand, though they still clean up
quickly.
Frank Pelicano says that Quaker
Lady violets, a special variety which
he offered in commercial quantity for
the first time this season, took well.
They are going off crop now, after a
two months' run, having been held
back at the start by bad weather.
About forty were present at the
social given by the Ladies* Auxiliary
of the Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety on the evening of March 2, which
took the place of the regular meeting.
Various members of the Horticultural
Society participated in the festivities,
and the entertainment provided by the
committee in charge of the affair was
greatly enjoyed. S. H. G.
POBTIiAND, OBE.
The Market.
Cold rains, with occasional flurries of
snow, prevailed nearly all last week and
had a depressing effect on business.
The demand for flowers for social
events and funerals was below normal.
The cut of carnations had fallen off
until there was no oversupply to speak
of. Roses sufficient to supply local de-
mands came in, but more could have
been used to fill shipping orders. Potted
bulbous stock still is offered in consid-
erable quantity and is meeting with a
rather slow sale. Many varieties of
perennial plants are shown at the seed
stores.
Various Notes.
The Portland Floral Society will hold
its monthly meeting Tuesday evening,
March 21, in the Masonic Temple.
E. C. Cook reports that he . now is
receiving violets of the Giant variety,
from California. The season for Prin-
cess is over.
James Forbes, of Martin & Forbes,
left March 15 to attend the National
Flower Show, to be held at Philadel-
phia. He went by one of the northern
routes and will spend a day each in
several of the northwest cities. He ex-
pects to visit New York, Pittsburgh,
Eichmond, St. Louis, Denver and Salt
Lake City on his return trip.
F. McCabe, representing the A. L.
Eandall Co., of Chicago, called on Port-
land florists last week.
Clarke Bros, laat week showed their

SALE OF NUBSERIES.
The right of a buyer of a nursery
to recover damages from the seller for
misrepresenting the number of trees
growing on the premises sold is not af-
fected by the opportunity open to the
buyer at the time of the sale to verify
the seller 's statement, according to a
decision handed down by the California
Supreme court (154 Pacific Reporter
851).
The plaintiff bought from the de-
fendant two citrus nurseries near Los
Angeles, for $37,000, the contract con-
taining a clause evidencing an under-
standing that there were, in round num-
bers, 60,000 budded trees on one place
and 25,000 on the other. It was not
claimed by the plaintiflF that this state-
ment constituted a warranty, but it
was relied upon as a representation
which induced the purchase. The sum
of $34,000 had been paid on the pur-
chase price when the plaintiff discov-
ered, as he claims, that there were not
more than 65,346 trees on both tracts.
He brought suit against the seller, as-
serting that he had been damaged to
the extent of $12,000. The defendant
counterclaimed for the $3,000 still due,
denying that any actionable misrep-
resentations had been made. A trial
of the case resulted in a judgment in
the defendant's, or seller's favor, but it
was reversed on the plaintiff's appeal to
the Supreme court, which said in its
opinion :
"We think it must be held that the
trial court erred in instructing the
jury, as it did, in effect, that a party
who has relied upon a misrepresenta-
tion made by another and has suffered
injury thereby is precluded from re-
covering damages, if he had an oppor-
tunity, and did not avail himself there-
of, to test the truth of the representa-
tions by independent investigation.
"Whenever a positive representation
of fact is made, the party receiving
it is, in general, entitled to rely and
act upon it, and is not bound to verify
it by an independent investigation.
Where a representation is made of facts
which are or may be presumed to be
within the knowledge of the party mak-
ing it, the knowledge of the receiving
party concerning the real facts, which
shall prevent his relying on and being
misled by it, must be clearly and con-
clusively established by the evidence.
The mere existence of opportunities for
examination or of sources of informa-

How to checkmate the new chestnut

no small importance. From its obscure

favorite varieties, is subject to the dis-
ease, but when we come to the chest-
nuts of Japan and China we find great
resistance, amounting in some varieties
to almost practical immunity. There
now appears to be no method of con-
trolling this disease, which is caused by
a fungus whose spores are carried
about by birds and insects, creating
new infections wherever they reach the
sap wood, or inner bark, of the chest-
nut tree. There is no apparent diminu-
tion of its virulence since it came under
observation.
The most obvious means of replacing
the great losses of chestnut timber and
nuts would seem to lie in substituting
for our native forms the Asiatic species
that best resist the disease, having
evidently for ages been accustomed
to its presence, and also in breeding
the chestnut as a valuable genus of
forest trees, by hybridization and se-
lection of varieties better adapted for
our purposes.
Some chestnut breeding has already
been accomplished in various parts of
our country, and generally with good re-
sults. A promising experiment of this
character has been under the direc-
tion of the office of forest pathology of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
for several years.
Hybrids between the highly resistant
Japanese chestnut and our native chin-
quapin have been grown in consider-
able numbers, quickly forming hand-
some dwarf trees, bearing at an early
age profuse crops of nuts of excellent
quality, five or six times the size of
those of the wild chinquapin parent,
and ripening weeks before any other
chestnuts. So far these trees show a
high degree of disease-resistance. The
second generation of hybrids, grown
from self or chance-pollinated nuts,
appear to be as good as their parents,
which is an important feature when
the cost of propagation of nut trees by
' budding and grafting is considered.

Another line of breeding lies in the
intercrossing of disease-resisting Jap-
anese and Chinese varieties that are
rapidly being imported into this coun-
try by the office of foreign seed and
plant introduction, and selection of the
best resulting forms. Four generations
of crossbred Japanese chestnuts of an
early-bearing type, producing nuts
when two or three years old, have
already been g^own, and the varietal
characters appear to be well fixed.
Some of the Chinese chestnuts are said
to grow nearly 100 feet high in their
home forests, and it may be possible

hy their use to replace in some measure
our vanishing native chestnut stands,
and perhaps develop superior varieties
during the process of acclimatization.
The hybrid chinquapins and cross-
bred chestnuts referred to in this arti-
cle are not yet available for distribu-
tion to the public for testing, since they
are being held for further observations
as to their varietal characters and the
degree of disease-resistance.

The Market.
The days preceding Ash Wednesday
were busy ones socially, and conse-
quently there was an accelerated de-
mand for cut flowers that kept the
dealers on the jump. The growers re-
port that they have been cleaned up
on their crops and that the outlook
for Easter is satisfactory. Already
the dealers have been scurrying around
looking for their Easter stock, and the
indications are that prices will rule
about the same as those of last year.

auditors to have gardens around their
houses and reminded them that the
grounds would always be more inter-

The Market.
On account of the bad weather last
week, the florists' business in Newark
and vicinity was slow. One of the
hardest snow storms of the season came
the first of the week and others fol-
lowed. This prevented people getting
out to shop and curtailed sales, except-
ing those of funeral pieces. Even in
that item there was a loss. The dark,
cloudy days checked the development
of flowers, causing a slight scarcity in
many kinds and holding the prices a
little above those of a few weeks ago.
The least affected was the bulbous
stock. This has been arriving in such
large quantities that it can be pur-
chased at a decidedly reasonable price.
Orchids have taken a jump of late from
the low price at which they had been
selling earlier in the season. Fine calla
lilies are coming into the market now.
Now that (Lent has begun, the florists
do not expect much work from society
events. The average business since the
first of the year has been unusually
good, however.
Various Notes.
H. C. Strobell & Co. report business
quiet at the present time. Automobiles
and movies are said to have made con-
siderable inroads on the florists' busi-
ness here.
H. A. Strobell says business was fair
last week, but not quite up to what it
was several weeks before. There is
considerable funeral work.
Fred P. Wolfinger states that business
continues to be good with him. He has
had four blankets to make within a
few days, besides much other funeral
work.
Lyman B. Coddington, of New Provi-
dence, denies that twenty men employed
at his greenhouses have gone on strike,
though the men are not working and
state that they have struck for an in-
crease in pay. They have been receiv-
ing $1.50 per day.
J. F. Noll & Co. report that the seed
business is starting in well and that
it appears as if the coming season would
be a good one. There is some trouble
in getting shipments from Europe. Some
of the consignments have come through,
but others have been held up.
Charles Trauth states that he con-
tinues to be rushed with funeral work,
the last few months this class of work
having been far above the average.

THE BEST RED CARNATION
RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT!
WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1916; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H.. at St. Louis,
1916. It has never been beaten at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the
flower is 34 inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the En-
chantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the
1st of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
Booted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively to rooted cuttings.

USINOEB'S UTTEBANCES.
Bruce W. Walker, of Johnstown, Pa.,
for the last few weeks has had the
smile that won't come off. The reason f
A baby girl.
T. Malbranc, of Johnstown, has a
heavy cut of carnations. A beautiful
array of spring plants was on display
in the window last week.
Miss Margaret Schneider, of Johns-
town, will shortly have the store re-
decorated and will also install a new
refrigerator.
A beautiful arrangement of prim-
roses, daffodils and carnations was on
display last week at the store of Wil-
liam Schrader, of Johnstown,
Karl Kuny, of Altoona, Pa., is de-
voting most of his time to the growing
of ferns and plants for the wholesale
trade.
The greenhouses of C. W. Espy &
Son, of Brookville, Pa., now form a
modern range of 56,000 square feet of
glass. Over half of the glass is devoted
to the growing of carnations. Two
houses of roses also are grown, besides
many novelties and bedding plants.
Oscar Magnuson, of the Kane Green-
houses, Kane, Pa., will build fhis spring
a Lord & Burnham house 28x150. This
will be the beginning of a range which
will be enlarged as conditions warrant.
The St. Marys Greenhouse Co., of
St. Marys, Pa., has had a heavy run
of funeral work for the last three or
four weeks.
Joe Schloder, of St. Marys, is look-
ing after two private greenhouses, be-
sides his own house. This keeps him
rather busy, but the stock under his
care is surpassed by none.
The Crissman Greenhouse Co., of
Punxsutawney, Pa., is busy with plants
and vegetables for spring, besides hand-
ling a lot of seeds.
G. Lawrence Graham, of Bradford,
Pa., has been busy with funeral work
and potted plants. Some artistic de-
signs were in evidence, besides many
beautiful baskets.
The increase of business necessitated
rearranging the interior of the Red
Rock Rosery, of Bradford. The space
gained gives Mr. Gunton an unusual op-
portunity for the displaying of potted
plants and novelties. W. T. U.

FORT WAYNE, IND.
The Market.
Business during the first two weeks of
March has been decidedly good, not-
withstanding the wintry weather and
the beginning of the Lenten season.
Both retailers and growers report that
the arrival of Lent has not affected
business as yet. Several rays of sun-
shine have improved the quality of flow-
ers and increased the supply. There is
an excellent demand for blooming
plants, especially Dorothy Perkins and
Crimson Rambler roses and all bulbous
stock. Cut roses are in much better
supply than a week ago. Especially is
this true of Shawyer, Russell, Richmond
and Ophelia. Carnations are exceeding-
ly plentiful. There is a fine lot of Eas-
ter lilies on the market. Callas are
plentiful; so are Spencer sweet peas,
which are in big demand. Freesias are
somewhat scarce. Violets are in fair
supply. Yellow primroses are among
the novelties on the market. Pansies
and yellow daisies are in good supply.
Decorations for dances and teas
formed a large part of the business in
the last few days preceding Lent. Fu-
neral work also has been heavy, and
sales of spring flowers and potted plants
for the sick have been large.
Various Notes.
W. J. & M. S. Vesey are cutting a
fine crop of Easter lilies and report that
business is not affected by Lent.
The Doswell Floral Co. is cutting
some extra good rosea, especially Ophe-
lia. The firm's violets continue to
bloom prolifically and the Spencer sweet
pea crop is heavy.
The Flick Floral Co. has been ex-
ceedingly busy with funeral work. The
firm also furnished the decorations for
an elaborate reception and dance.
Mrs. Aaron Shive, of the Flick Floral
Co., has received word of the serious
illness of her sister. Miss Helen F. Pat-
ten, of the Patten Flower Store, Toledo,
O. Miss Patten is suffering from a
tumor and expects to submit to an oper-
ation within a few days.

U. S. Department of Agriculture, deliv-

Tbe Market.
(Lent is with us again and the cus-
tomary drop in business is the result.
The drop is not so marked, however, as
it has been in previous years. This
may be due to some extent to the large
quantity of funeral work, which has
kept the florists busy for the last few
weeks. The number of deaths has been
large and the epidemic of typhoid fever
may be responsible for this to some de-
gree. The weather has been favorable
and stock in general is in fine condi-
tion. The supply is sufficient for all
needs.
Boses are in especially fine shape and
are plentiful. There still is a. shortage
in Mrs. Chas. Eussell, especially of the
shorter graded. Ttis seems to be the
only variety that is not in large enough
supply to equal the demand. Carna-
tions are plentiful and the stock is good.
There is no surplus, as the cut is mov-
ing readily at fair prices. White seems
somewhat scarce, but St. Patrick 's day
usually develops this condition.
Sweet peas are in abundant supply,
but are moving well. Some exception-
ally fine stock is seen in the market
and is bringing good prices. Wiscon-
sin-grown violets are still holding up
and are in prime condition. They are
not bringing so good prices as they
should, owing to the quantity of stock
on the market. Bulbous stock of all
kinds is in fine condition and selling
better than usual. There has been an
extra good demand for potted plants
and these have been disposed of in large
quantities.

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 speeial
fi«ld of ita adaptation.
WILL ADD ONE HOUSE.
I now have an opportunity to buy
2-inch and 2% -inch pipe for less money
than if I wait till laten I should
like to know, therefore, how many
2%-inch flows and 2-inch returns will
be needed to heat a greenhouse 20x50.
It will run east and west and will be
connected to the south side of the pres-
ent house, which is of the same dimen-
sions. The boiler room is at the west
end; the east end will be exposed. The
south wall will consist of three feet of
tile and three feet of glass. I want
a temperature of 60 degrees in zero
weather. I should like to put the re-
turns on the side walls, connecting the
returns to manifolds, if this arrange-
ment is advisable. The boiler is an
upright tubular, with a grate thirty-
six inches in diameter. The boiler
now has one 4-inch flow and two 2-inch
flows, and the same returns. Will these
be sufficient for both houses, or would
you advise having another 4-inch flow
and 4-inch return put in the boiler?
O. B. -
To heat a house 20x50, with one ex-
posed side wall containing three feet
of glass, we would use two 2*4 -inch
flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns.
If the top of the boiler is below the
level of the returns, we would carry
one flow pipe upon each side plate;
otherwise they should be placed about
two feet below the ridge or under the
purlins. If the flow pipes are given a
slight fall, the expansion tank may be
connected with the highest part of the
system and there will be no occasion
for using air valves. The return pipes
may be placed in coils on the side
walls. Especially if the outer wall is
much exposed to cold winds, we would
place seven returns on this wall and
five on the inner wall, connecting them
by means of manifolds.
While it is not possible to judge the
capacity of a boiler accurately by
means of its grate area, we would ex-
pect to heat four houses 20x50 to 60

We fired on half draft and kept the houses steadfast 52° with ease.

Replying to your letter of the 16th, wish to state that we have
completed the installing of our Heating System, and have given same
a thorough trial and we are very well pleased with the results. Quite
a number of Florists of our city have visited our Greenhouses, and are
very much impressed with our Heating Plant.
Thanking you very much for the promptness that you have given
our order, and rest assured should we need anything in the heating line
in the future, that we certainly shall not forget "Kroeschell Bros.,"

number of returns, we would prefer to
run a 3%-inch flow pipe to each house,
but if it is not convenient to do this
it will answer if one 4-inch main flow
pipe is used to supply both houses,
and from this a 3-inch flow pipe may
be run to each house. The returns
should be of the same size as the flows.
For each of the houses about 100 linear

THE COAL MARKET.
Among recent developments in the
coal trade, the event that surpassed
all others in interest and importance
was the signing, March 9, of the new
wage contract between the operators
and miners in the bituminous districts.
The new agreement is to take effect
April 1 and continue for two years. It
will add, according to the estimates of
the operators, between 7 and 9 cents a
ton to the cost of mining the fuel. This
peace treaty at the mines was instan-
taneous in its results, causing an un-
mistakable lull in activities by stopping
a large part of the buying for storage,
a kind of precautionary buying that

Aside from the closing of the bituminous
conference, the only influential factor
in the control of the business is the con-
gestion of railroad traffic in the Atlan-

eastern market.
Of course it does not follow, because

DUBABILITT OF COIL BOILERS.
I use two boilers. When I bought
them I wanted to put in coils of 2-inch
pipe instead of the boilers, but I was
told that the pipe would burn out in
about two years if I used soft coal as
fuel, and that it was cheaper, there-
fore, in the long run, to buy boilers.
Now, if that is true, why is it econom-
ical to use water-tube boilers f I ex-
amined one of the tubes used in a
water-tube boiler and it was of steel
and not more than half as thick as a
2-inch pipe, and the fuel used was soft
coal. H. B. — Ohio.
Under proper conditions a heating
coil made from 2-inch pipe should last
much longer than two years, but a
cast-iron or a tubular steel or wrought-
iron boiler would usually last still
longer. Screw joints are used in mak-
ing coil boilers, and, unless great care
is taken, several of the threads will be
exposed at each of the joints. It is
here that the corrosion will be most
rapid. While 2-inch pipe will last
fairly well, especially if care is taken
to have all of the threads covered, L
have seen boilers made from 1-inch
pipe that had to be replaced within
two years, even when hard coal was
used. Some of the pipes were entirely
eaten through and others were but lit-
tle thicker than newspaper, where the
threads were exposed. If the fittings
are reamed out so that the threads
can be "made in," I do not see why
coil boilers will not last nearly as long
as tubular boilers.

HOLYOKE, MASS.
The monthly meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club was held March 7 at the
greenhouses of Gallivan Bros., at
Smiths Ferry. There was a good at-
tendance and in the absence of Presi-
dent Butler, Vice-president George
Strugnell occupied the chair. After
the business, session James Whiting
read the paper "Is Gardening a Pro-
fession t" sent by the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners, which met with
hearty approval. K. B. Ullman pre-
sented a paper on "Advertising,"
which provoked a lively discussion and
brought the retailers out of their shells.
Exhibits made a fine showing and,
as usual, were of high quality. Mr.
Schwartz, in charge of the Gallivan
greenhouses, arranged a bank of Mu-
rillo tulips, a mixed group of ericas,
azaleas and ferns, and also staged plants
of a crimson form of Primula obconica.
G. H. Sinclair & Son had pans of a
lavender variety of Primula vulgaris
and vases of mignonette, snapdragon,
sweet peas and White Wonder, Rosette
and Princess Dagmar carnations. F. D.
Keyes & Son showed carnations, White
Wonder, Enchantress and an unnamed
Sink variety of good form. H. E.
'owner staged a plant of Dendrobium
nobile with 150 open blooms, a speci-
men plant of Bauera rubioides, a pot
of Hyacinthus giganteus, vases of
Schizanthus Wisetonensis and Tulipf
Flamingo.
Congratulations to G. H. Sinclair
were in order, for that day he was
appointed a park commissioner of
Holyoke. H. E. D.
LINCOLN, ILL.
C. G. Anderson, recently of the Min-
neapolis Floral Co., Minneapolis, Minn.,
and formerly in charge of the plant
range of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton
Grove, 111., March 1 became foreman
for Gullett & Sons. Because Mr. An-
derson's youngest daughter is in her
third year in the Minneapolis High
School, he will not remove his family
to Lincoln until the close of the school
year in June.
Gullett & Sons are actively engaged
in the work of grafting a large stock
of rose plants at their new range on
the east side. This work is in charge
of Adolph Nielsen and excellent re-
sults are being secured. A look at
the rose houses at this large new range
shows they are in good condition. The
cut flowers are marketed partly in Chi-
cago, where consignment is made to
the A. L. Randall Co., and partly in
St. Louis, by H. G. Berning.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free use of dirt bands for the grow-
ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new READY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not bow
cheap, but how good, is our motto.

The Market.
With the opening of the Lenten sea-
son everyone looked for a decrease in
the demand for cut flowers, but it
turned out to be just the reverse. The
epidemic of scarlet fever and the grip
was the cause of an extra demand for
flowers and plants. Violets are begin-
ning to be a glut, some retailers selling
them as low as 20 cents a hundred.
Both single and double daffodils are in
unlimited supply.
Various Notes.
The proprietor of the Parker Flower
Shop, who started business a few
months ago, is enthusiastic over the
volume of business done so far and
states that prospects seem promising.
George Suris, in charge of the cut
flower department at the Burgess-Nash
store, says he is getting his share of
the trade.
George Zimmer has had an excellent
cut of carnations all winter, but he is
off crop now and, unfortunately, will be
off for Easter. The rest of his stock
is in excellent condition.
The Fernery, on South Sixteenth
street, reports business good but stock
hard to get.
A trip to the Hanscom park green-
houses Sunday afternoon proved worth
while. The bedding stock is the best in
years and much credit is due Superin-
tendent Wolff. For want of space, they
have had to throw out the carnation
stock and put in geraniums, of which
there were several thousands in 4-inch
pots. They are about the best plants
to be found here.
J. J. Hess leaves the latter part of
this month for Philadelphia, to attend
the annual meeting of the directors of
the S. A. F. lie expects to take with
him the names of a number of appli-
cants for membership. L. S. H.
Fairburg, HI.— E. N. Kring has se-
cured a patent on a dibbler that has
been in use for two years in the green-
houses of Ering Bros. It is planned
to put the device on the market.
"^illiamsport, Pa. — The firm of Even-
den Bros, was incorporated February 15
under the name of Evenden Bros Co.
The incorporators are George W. Even-
den, William J. Evenden, Charles T.

younger members of the corporation

The Florists^ Review

DETROIT.
The Market.
This market is well supplied with
good stock of every kind, Beauties per-
haps being the only exception. Boses
are in good supply and their quality
is good. Carnations never were better
than now and bulbous stock of every
kind ia of good quality. Business has
been such that the market remains well
cleaned up of good stock. There are,
of course, always some daffodils and
tulips to spare, but this is nothing unus-
ual.
Various Notes.
B. Schroeter is showing some of the
finest azaleas ever seen here, and among
the best are plants kept over from last
year.
John B. Dinser, of Highland Park, is
sending in two or three loads of bulb-
ous plants every day. His stock is in
splendid condition.
Charles H. Plumb, our other plant
specialist, has found it necessary to add
another large delivery car to his equip-
ment. H. S.
TiT.T.TS, MASS.
The new carnation Alice, sent out by
Peter Fisher last year, fills a good
deal of the bench space here. It has
made good nearly everywhere and the
demands tor cuttings are again heavy.
This is easily the freest-blooming car-
nation in cultivation, as any grower
can prove by planting it alongside
other standard sorts. Benora and
Beacon, both of which originated here,
are the favorites in their color. Match-
less, White Wonder and White En-
chantress are grown for white. At
this season White Enchantress bursts
considerably. Mr. Fisher says this can,
be remedied by growing it in solid
beds in lieu of raised benches. Match-
less blooms sparsely compared with
White Wonder.
Pink Sensation and Good Cheer are
both under trial. Mr. Fisher likes the
latter and, with careful selection of
stock, it should give a better account
of itself a year hence. Flaked Beauty
fills the greater proportion of one
bench. To anyone wanting a beautiful
flaked carnation, this variety should
appeal. For a fancy variety it blooms
with great freedom. There were
batches of fine seedlings from which
may come worthy successors to
Lawson, Enchantress, Beacon, Benora,
Alice and other Ellis creations. Gor-
geous, sent out as a strictly fancy va-
riety, will not be retained another sea-
son, as its color does not hold true.

KAirSAS CITY.
The Market.
The market was well supplied with
stock all week, and, although the de-
mand was not as heavy as that of the
week previous, everyone was well satis-
fied with the quantity of business trans-
acted. Eoaes were plentiful through-
out the week, but the quotations were
unchanged. American Beauties were
ofif crop, but some extra fine Bussell
roses were received and they practically
replaced the Beauties. Killarneys ar-
rived in large quantities. The carna-
tion supply is short and prices have
risen. This is due to an off crop with
practically every grower in this vicin-
ity.
Violets and sweet peas were in heavy
supply all week, resulting in a drop in
prices. The sweet peas were of excel-
lent quality and had long stems. Lilies
were too plentiful last week and a glut
is looked for during several weeks.
Bulbous stock is scarce, whereas last
year there easily was too much of it.
Various Notes.
W. J. Barnes had the decorations at
a large dry goods store for its Easter
opening. ' He used twenty-two dozen
palms and ferns and about twenty doz-
en blooming plants of rhododendrons,
cinerarias, lilies, deutzias, spirseas and
lilacs. Mr. Barnes has had this annual
decoration for more than sixteen years.
Arthur Newell reports that the pot
plant business has easily exceeded his
expectations and that it is hard to get
enough to fill the demand for the plants.
The W. L. Eock Flower Co. had a
unique window display of birds and
bird houses last week. The window
was a big drawing card.
William Foith was confined to the
sick room all of last week, with the
grip. Sunday he was able to take a
walk to the greenhouses.
Miss Lou E. Boggess last week had a
large batch of funeral work for Carroll-
ton.
The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. had another large run of out-of-
town funeral work, besides the city
work. Stock was rather scarce with
this concern.
Henry Kusik & Co. report that the
wire and supply department is working
overtime to fill the orders.
Samuel Murray was exceedingly busy
last week, decorations continuing to be
a heavy item. W. J. B.

OI£N OOVE, N. Y.
A severe snow storm was in progress
March 8, the meeting day of the Nas-
sau County Horticultural Society, and,
consequently, the attendance was con-
siderably smaller than usual. The
meeting was held in Pembroke hall,
Glen Cove, and was called to order
by President James MacDonald at
2 p. m. Notwithstanding the small at-
tendance, there was a good display of
flowers and plants on the exhibition
table, and all the entries were of first-
class quality. John Everitt, Ernest
Westlake and James Duthie acted as
judges and turned in the following re-
port: Six spikes of antirrhinum, Ro-
bert Jones, first; plant of cyclamen,
Robert Jones, first; special prize oflFered
by Robert Jones for twelve carnations,
.James MacDonald, first; James McCar-
thy, second. Robert Jones also ex-
hibited a bunch of violets of excep-
tional quality, for which he was award-
ed a certificate of culture. A vase of
gardenias, exhibited by Harry Jones,
was highly commended. By request,
Robert Jones gave an account of his
method of growing violets, which was
followed by an interesting discussion
on the same subject.
James HoUoway favored us with an
essay on "Outdoor Fruit." His
treatise proved to be of more than ordi-
nary interest. An animated discussion
followed, and Mr. HoUoway was ques-
tioned at considerable length with re-
gard to fruit growing. Martin Ebel,
of the National Association of Gar-
deners, sent in an admirable essay to
be read at this meeting, entitled "The
Use of Native Plants for Ornamental
Planting," by 8. P. Jensen, of Mis-
souri. The essay was instructive and
well received by those present. Arthur
Herrington paid us a visit and spoke
on the coming International Flower
Show to be held at New York. He
described some of the prospective fea-
tures and prophesied that this show
would surpass any of the previous ex-
hibitions held in New York. Begin-
ning next month, April, our meetings
will be held in the evening at 7 p. m.,
instead of in the afternoon.

Range of Greenhouses which we
built for Mr. N. Grillo. Rose
Grower, of Milldale, Conn. There is
absolutely no shade in these houses.
The Jacobs patented construction
eliminated it entirely.
ANT GROWER WHO WANTS HIS
GRKSNHOU8E BUILT at the lowest
cost, and in the shortest time, consistent
witl^ good workmanship, can get just
what he desires by employing the
Jacobs organization for the job. This
is a fact which is conceded by many
of the biggest greenhouse owners in
the country.
While wa have been at it almost half
a century, we come to you not only
with the knowledge accumulated
through all this experience, but we are
always right up with the times on what's
what, and what's new in Greenhouses.
When you think of a greenhouse, no
place in the U. S. is too far for us to
go to submit specifications and prices.

^ ^ THE UFE OF A GREENHOUSE IS THE GUTTER I
Garland gutters that were put up unpainted 20 years ago are as good as g
new today (we can prove this) and are good for 100 years more.
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago's largest growers, are using 14 miles of Gar-
land gutters and will use no other. Altogether we have hundreds of miles
of our gutters in commercial ranges all over the country and can refer you
to the owners.
LET US FIGURE WITH YOU ON YOUR NEXT HOUSE. g
We supply everything for the greenhouse and can save you money, B
as we operate our own foundry, wood mill and machine shops. S

SOBANTON, PA.
The Market.
Florists generally report good trade
in all lines during the last two or three
weeks. There have been several large
public affairs and private receptions,
which called for many corsages and
decorations. This week 's trade called
for many potted plants, such as tulips,
daffodils, hyacinths and azaleas. Daf-
fodils are in good demand. Lily of the
valley is scarce. Good Easter and
calla lilies also are scarce. Sweet peas
are abundant and the sales are good.
Carnations are scarce, on account of
the dark weather last week. Boses are
plentiful, with Russell and Ophelia
proving the best sellers. The funeral
of the late Charles Eobinson, a promi-
nent brewer, was, from the florists'
point of view, the largest held in some
time.
Various Notes.
From the reports, the show April 6
to 8 will outclass any other show in
Pennsylvania, aside from the National
Show.
Muir & Co. had the family work for
the Robinson funeral, including a blan-
ket of violets and valley and a number
of large designs.
A visit to William MacDonald, at
Moosic, Pa., found everything looking
fine for Easter. His rambler roses nev-
er looked better. The lilies, hydran-
geas, tulips, daffodils and spiraeas were
also in the best of condition.
D. W. Evans is cutting some fine
carnations and the crop is larger than
for several months.
The Fernery had an unusually at-
tractive window display of baskets of
cut flowers and potted plants last week.
S. Edelman, of the M. Rice Co., Phila-
delphia, had a large display of baskets
and florists' supplies at the Hotel
Casey.
Miss Anna Griffiths, of the West Side
Floral Co., is preparing for a large
Easter business and has laid in a large
stock of fancy baskets.
The New York Floral Co. is doing a
rushing business at the branch store at
Wilkes-Barre. F. J. M.
PAYING HOUSES
When planning for your new houses you no doubt wish
to erect the same so that in the course of time you have
the best returns from them. You want to consider the
durability, the convenience* the efficiency* and
last but not least, the cost of the houses. Not one of
these points is overlooked in our construction. Write for our sketches
and estimates.

The Market.
Trade has beeu fair for the last two
weeks. Stock is plentiful and is sell-
ing tolerably well. Roses are becom-
ing more plentiful and are bringing
medium prices. Carnations are about
equal to the demand. Bulbous stock
is plentiful, with only an average call.
Sweet peas are in good supply and are
finding a good demand. Pot plants,
such as azaleas, lilacs, rhododendrons,
cyclamens and bulbous stock, are plen-
tiful and are having a good call.

The Market.
Retail trade was not especially good
last week. Two of the largest snow
storms Worcester has had this winter
came last week and kept people in-
doors, which hurt the retail trade
greatly. Bulbous stock still is in de-
mand, also roses and sweet peas. A
few people still prefer azaleas, cycla-
mens, cinerarias and heather to the
spring plants.
Horticultural Society Show.
The Worcester County Horticultural
Society held its annual spring show
Thursday and Friday, March 9 and 10.
Although the ground was covered with
a foot of snow, the hall gave the ap-
pearance of spring.
The feature of the show this year was
an old-fashioned flower garden, occu-
pying the entire center of the hall.
The center of the garden was an oval-
shaped bed of yellow narcissi, with a
huge yellow genista in the center. On
each side were two large gardens with
many varieties of plants. H. F. A.
Lange did the center and one of the
large side gardens.. His side garden
contained azaleas, acacias, heather, cin-
erarias, chorizemas and bulbous stock.
The entire border of this garden was
of tulips. E. W. Breed had the other
large garden, which consisted of primu-
las, tulips, hyacinths, narcissi, crocuses
and boxwood trees. The other two
Asters can be successfully grown un-
der glass. Soil such as you would use
for chrysanthemums suits them. Queen
of the Market, also called Queen of the
Earlies, is the best early variety.
Comet, also, can be grown well under
glass. One good point about aster cul-
ture under glass is that they can be
brought into flower earlier than if
grown outdoors and, not being exposed
to storms such as frequently spoil
plants in the open, their quality is such
that they always command a higher
market price. ^- *"•

Lamar, Colo.— Roy White has applied
for a patent on a device similar to the
self-watering flower boxes except that
it is for use with pot plants. The reser-
voir of metal, sits at the bottom of the
pot 'cover, the pot fitting inside a rim,
with a sponge-filled tube sticking up
into the soil through the drainage hole
of the pot. Mr. White says plants used
in the store for decorative purposes
give fifty per cent better results if set
on one of these self-watering bases.

THE PSYCHOLOGY mt
Mr OF SALESMANSHIP
The growers of plants and cut flowers have reduced their art almost
to a science; they have developed their trade almost to a profession. But
what of the sales end of the business? What feature of it has been stand-
ardized? How much thought has been put upon cause and effect in mer-
chandising flowers?
mm
ITH all your good buying,
all your good system in
store work in every re-
spect, your good account-
ing* your advertising, and
your window trimming,
you must still recognize
that the whole system
rests on your salespeople.
But salesmanship ia a big
subject. Most flower store workers are
not good salespeople, because they know
little about the science of salesmanship.
It requires study to make good in sales-
manship.
In salesmanship our problem is to
get the Customer to know the facts
about our goods and to feel favorably
towards them. Our prob-
lem is to get ideas about _^^_^_
our stock into his mind and
the openings through which
the raw material passes, out
of which ideas are con-
structed, are the nerves that
pass out from the brain;
the principal ones being
nerves of sight, hear-
smell, taste and touch.
By PROF. PAUL H. NEYSTROM.
mind is not the same in all people, nor
is it the same for each person at differ-
ent times.
Hammering It Home.
The salesman must recognize that if
he is presenting ideas about his stock
faster than his customer can take care
of them, he will not be understood and
will lose interest. Nor must the sales-
man present ideas too slowly, or the
customer's mind will run away from
him and grow interested in something
else. If he shows too few flowers he
will fail to interest his customer; if
the

Appeal to Senses.
DOING THINGS WELL.
In selling flower^^^the
salesperson who under-
stands these elementary
facts attempts to give his
customer ideas not only
through the eye and ear but
also through the sense of
smell, and, if possible,
through the sense of touch.
The salesman appeals to
the eye by showing the
goods and pointing out
what he wants to be seen.
He appeals to the ear by
telling about the goods, and
he appeals to the sense of
touch by getting the flow-
ers into the hands of the
customer, as, in the case of
shoes or garments, he would
do by getting the customer
to try them on. Every
good salesman follows this principle of
using several of the customer's senses,
whether he knows it or not. Every re-
tail salesman should follow this princi-
ple, appeal to his customer's mind by
presenting ideas through as many senses
as possible.
Another fact of psychology is that
the rate at which nerve currents enter
the brain and from the brain into the
There is a switch tender who regulates the
street car traffic at one of the busy crossings in
New York who has the reputation of being the
best man in his business.
His is the humble calling of wig-wagging
with a soiled red rag on a stick, but there's
nothing that prevents him from making a real
job out of it.
"Whatever success we, any of us, achieve in
hfe is due, not to any mysterious access to favor,
but solely to the fact that our zeal for hard,
conscientious work burns with an intense, ear-
nest, steady glow.
Adapted from a lecture before the recent Mer-
chants' Short Couree Class at the University of
Kansas.
he shows too many he will bewilder
him.
When the nerve currents enter the
brain from the eye, ear or other parts
of the body they travel with a con-
siderable rate of speed, although this
speed varies greatly among individuals.
When the current comes to its appropri-
ate place in the brain, it strikes a blow
in its particular brain cell. The impres-
sion can be made deeper in either of
two ways — by putting more force in
the nerve current that causes it, or by
repetition or concentrating the mind
with aU its power on ihe one incoming
idea. One other thing is necessary and
that is plenty of pathways or connec-
tions to the mark or indentation that
represents the idea to be recaUed.
There are two more facts of psychol-
ogy that I would like to present. One
is ' that every idea that enters a cus-
tomer 's mind is accompanied by some
feeling, either good or bad, pleasant or
unpleasant, satisfactory or unsatisfac-
tory to the customer. The mind never
accepts an idea in a neutral way. It
accepts or rejects and classifies as good
or bad every impression that it re-
ceives. Every impression that your cus-
tomer receivers of you, your goods, your
store and its equipment
^__.^_ either helps or hinders you
in making sales.
••Watch Your Step."
The other fact is that
every idea that enters the
customer's mind tends to
be expressed, not only by
speech, but also such things
as brightness of the eyes,
actions of the body, smiles,
frowns, movements of the
hands and of the face and
head. It is this expression
that the salesman must
watch to learn whether he
is on the right track or not,
whether he is showing the
right kind of flowers or of-
fering the right kind of
selling arguments. One
can not seU flowers suc-
cessfully without watching
customers' expressions.
The customer gets ideas
not only about the flowers
the retailer tries to sell to
him, but also from every-
thing about the store. The
store's advertising in some
newspaper may reach the
customer before he comes
to the store, and he gets
ideas from that. They may
or wholly unconscious im-
but in so far as they reach
at all, either in definite or
be partly
pressions,
the mind
indefinite forms, there is certain to be
an effect of feeling either for, or
against, as an accompaniment of what
he saw, heard, smelled or felt.
Referring to the form of the adver-
tisement in the newspaper, it may be
of interest to note that oblongs are
generally more attractive than squares
and that ovals are better than circles.
The oblong of proportions of three in
14

width to five in length, the proportions
of the page of The Review, is always
attractive. Other forms may be made
beautiful, and often most appropriate,
but none are so generally attractive as
the oblong.
Another detail of retailing that has
its effect on the customer is the archi-
tecture of the store, particularly the
store front, its construction and its
colorings. Even the color of paint used
makes a difference that is either favor-
able or unfavorable to the kind of busi-
ness carried on. Some of the large
chain store concerns have made a
scientific study of color schemes for
store fronts.
A few years ago five-and-ten-cent
stores were painted all sorts of colors.
The owner of several of them made up
his mind that he would find out what
color was best for a five-and-ten-cent
store business. After a careful study
he concluded that red and gold was
the best. He applied these colors to
all of his stores with success. Now it
is hard to find a five-and-ten-cent store,
whether owned by a syndicate or inde-
pendent, that is not painted red and
trimmed with gold. Eed and gold is
the scientific color scheme for the five-
and-ten-cent business at the present
time.
Grocery chains are working with
orange and gold, yellow and gold and
white. Red seems to be the wrong
color for food stores. The United Cigar
Stores have settled upon red, black and
white, with gilt lettering. What is the
best color scheme for flower stores! It
is not red. Perhaps it is green and
gold. Have you ever given it a
thought?
Department stores are working
towards a more uniform system of
architecture and coloring. They are
finding that there is a harmony of
architecture of the store with the goods
to be sold which when followed helps
the store to succeed, and when not fol-
lowed hinders success.
Itlfe's Little Irritations.
Window trimming presents ideas to
customers and likewise fosters good or
bad feeling. The entrance and door-
Way produce a favorable or unfavor-
able impression upon all who enter and
go out. Uneven steps, sloping walks,
slippery places, sticking doors, squeaky
hinges, doors that slam with a bang,
doors hard to open or close, all cause
customers some irritation or bad feel-
ing, and while these are in most cases
small things, they hinder the success-
ful selling of fiowers.
The internal arrangement of the
store, the layout of the counters, refrig-
erator and cases, the location of the
stock and the ways in which the flowers
and plants are displayed are all impor-
tant factors in building a good impres-
sion in a customer's mind. If that im-
pression is not good, it will be bad.
One of the difficult matters about all
these details is that what gives good
impressions to one customer does not
necessarily appeal to another in the
same way. The best that a retailer can
do is to build and plan his store and its
displays in such a way as to appeal to
the largest possible number. It will
be impossible to suit everybody per-
fectly.
The Salesman.
Next in order among the things likely
to attract the customer's attention and
to produce ideas and consequently feel-
ings, is the salesman himself. The
way he approaches the customer, the
way he stands, walks, his looks, his
interest, the way he is dressed, his
voice, the way he speaks, his cleanli-
ness of clothes and person are highly
important factors in giving a good or
bad impression in the customer's mind.
The salesman needs to be appropri-
ately dressed for his work. Not too
flashy or richly, nor too poorly. Either
extreme will attract attention to itself
and will detract from the purpose of
the store and of the salesman to sell
goods. Jewelry and ornaments of all
kinds are likely to give trouble.
I once knew a traveling salesman
who said that his house gave him a
diamond stick pin for a Christmas pres-
ent because of his excellent work. He
said to me, "Do you know, that stick
pin lost me more sales than any other
thing I could mention? Often when
I had a customer on the point of get-
ting deeply interested in my proposi-
tion, his eye would catch that diamond
and he would look at that instead of at
me, with the result that I had to go all
over my selling talk again."
On the Telephone.
The importance of the voice of the
salesman is nowhere «o evident as in
the use of the telephone. Not one per-
son in ten knows how to use the tele-
phone properly. Nothing goes over the
wire but the sound of the voice. If the
face is wreathed with smiles, if the
eyes sparkle with pleasure, while the
voice is cold and reserved, the listener
at the other end of the line gets noth-
ing but the cold, reserved voice expres-
sion and forms his impressions of the
speaker accordingly. Many stores ap-
point as telephone clerk the one whose
voice coincides with the telephone com-
pany's oft reiterated statement that
"the voice with the smile wins."
Suppress All Odors.
Another matter of importance is the
salesman's breath. Doctors tell us that
one person out of every eight or ten
has a bad breath. I need not tell you
that this makes a difference in selling.
The unfortunate thing about it is that
the person who has a bad breath never
knows about it until told. Store man-
agers should handle cases of bad breath
in a frank manner, and every sales-
person should make sure that his or
her breath is right by getting some
frank friend to say whether the breath
is sweet or not. An odor of drink,
cloves or tobacco is almost as bad as
fetid breath, and many persons find
perfumes objectionable.
Successful retail selling rests upon
a thousand and one details all per-
formed well. Good retail salesmanship
consists in making all the conditions
right for the display of our stock under
favorable conditions, and then in show-
ing the fiowers and plants in detail, just
as the customer wants them shown.

Current Events in Advertising.
In any comjwehensive textbook on
advertising the reader will come upon
a chapter dealing with current events
as related to advertising, in which the
author explains how occurrences of
common interest to the masses may be
profitably employed by advertisers. It
is demonstrated that if an important
event of the day or week is incorpo-
rated into the start, or headline, of
the printed advertisement, the atten-
tion-winning power of that advertise-
ment is greatly enhanced.
In the late summer of 1914, a few
days before the declaration of war by
the various powers of Europe, the news-
paper, carried large, black scare heads
telling of the mobilization of troops
by the countries now at war. The peo-
ple of the United States easily con-
sumed all the news printed about the
approaching storm, talked war morning,
noon and night; in fact, everybody was
more than interested in the proceedings
on the other side of the ocean.
An Example.
At Chicago, on the day that the daily
papers told of Russia's mobilization of
troops on its frontiers, a retailer came
out with a large newspaper advertise-
ment, with this headline in heavy, black
type: "We are mobilizing "
Directly underneath this display line,
in light-faced type, the sentence read
on: "20,000 shirts for tomorrow's
sale." This is a fair example of ad-
vertising in which a subject of current
interest was utilized. There is no doubt
that the heading, "We are mobil-
izing," on that day caught the eyes
of many readers who would not have
seen the advertisement had it been
headed something like this: "Shirts
tomorrow at $1.50." The people were
looking for literature on the war, and
this advertiser, by his clever headline,
got a good many of them to read his
ad. Subsequently the same advertiser
devised other more clever headlines, all
dealing with the war, but, neverthe-
less, relevant to the text that followed.
In Window Displays.
But this adaptation of current events
to advertising is not confined to the
printed advertisement. Window dis-
plays, which are a form of advertising,
can be made to more efficiently attract
the passers-by by the same means. We
have had .war windows, showing minia-
ture aeroplanes, submarines, forts, etc.
Then there are windows for Washing-
ton's and Lincoln's birthdays. Thanks-

bathing beach windows.
This year t5:ibies' week canie into
greater pioniinence than last year.
Much publicity was given the week set
aside for babies and as tlie years go
by it is probable that this week will
bo more generally observed. The news-
papers in all parts of the country gave
columns of matter to the liealth and
care of babies, under the slogan of
"Baby's Health; Nation's Wealth.'"
To take advantage of the wave of
publicity given a subject of interest to
mothers, some of the department stores
in their display Avindows advertised
their infants' wear sections and held
special sales of wearing apparel for
"tots."
A Babies' Week Window.
In Kansas City, the Al|dia Floral
Co., at 1105 Walnut street, had a spe-
cial baby window, as shown in the ac-
companying illustration. Dolls were
used to make the Avindow typical of
Babies' week. In the center of the
window was a medical scale, on which
reclined an 8-pound boy, in imitation,
of course. Many of those interested
in this movement, particularly the
women, in passing along Walnut street,
were attracted to the window. There
they not only saw what interested
them, but also hyacinths, carnations
and roses, for sale within. In advertis-
ing parlance, the Alpha Floral Co. is
said to have "borrowed" some of the
publicity given Babies' week.
The committee in charge of the pro-
gram for Babies' week in Kansas City
thought so well of the Alpha wimlow
that a photographic record was made of
it, which is the one r(^])rodui-eil here

of having attractive window dis-
plays," says Mr. Ilottes. "He be-
lieves that money s])ent in window dis-
plays is one of the best forms of ad-
vertising. Previous to the display
shown, he has had bulb Vieds, football
games, table decorations and other fea-
tures which are new to tin- flower

MORE ON NUTT GERANIUM.
The S. A. Nutt geranium was intro-
duced by Simmons & Sons, of Geneva,
O., and was named after one of Gene-
va's best citizens by Mr. Simmons.
This concern also sent out Silver Spray,
Portia, J. J. Harrison and Daybreak
carnations. Anson Simmons still re-
sides in Geneva, O.
I am staying at Kramer, Ind., for
a few weeks, trying to 'get my health
back, and I am ' ' coming right down the
pike." Harry Balsley.
STEM-ROT ON GERANIUMS.
Can you tell us why the stem of the
enclosed geranium has been rotting
and dying away? The disease seems
to start at the roots and work up, as
you will see the top still shows signs
of life. Is there a remedy for this?
A. E. P. & 8,— HI.
This is a common trouble, not only
with geraniums but many other plants.
Among the probable causes are. leav-
ing the cuttings too long in the propa-
gating bench, too deep potting, or
burying the stem too much, and the
use of soil containing too much plant
food of a nitrogenous nature. There
is nothing you can do once the disease
has started, but be careful not to leave
the cuttings too long in the sand. It
is a common practice to do this and,
as the cuttings become leggy, to bury
a good part of the stem. Use soil con-
taining no fresh manure. A little fine
bone and old manure, well broken up,
will be found satisfactory. C. W.
GERANIUM FOLIAGE RED.
We enclose several geranium leaves
that have turned red. The stems of
the plants are taking on the same color.
They are in 3-inch pots, almost ready
to shift to 4-inch pots, and have been
doing nicely until a few weeks ago.
Possibly we have sprayed them too
heavily with Nicoticide, as we have used
this for white fly. Kindly tell us what
to do and especially how to make them
sprout out, for it now seems as if we
will have no leaves near the bottom of
the plant at all. Shall we cut off the
red leaves, or just break them, to in-
duce some growth at the bottom of the
plant? H. M.— 111.
It is barely possible that sprajring or
strong fumigation may have helped to
develop the red foliage. It is more
likely to be an excess of some fertiliz-
ing element in the potting soil; too
much bone or potash is the most prob-
able cause. Break off the leaves, but
not until they are hopelessly affected.
I would shake out the plants and re-
pot them in a compost of loam, with
some old, well decayed manure added
in the proportion of one to four; also,
a 4-inch pot of fine bone to each wheel-
barrow load of compost. Be careful
not to overwater yoXir plants at any
time and refrain from spraying them
overhead. A temperature of 48 to 50
degrees at night, plenty of sun, fresh
air and a dry atmosphere are condi-
tions geraniums like. Do not stand
your plants on a coat of coal ashes un-
less it is an extremely thin one.
C. W.
GERANIUM FOUAGE DISEASED.
I am enclosing samples of diseased
S. A. Nutt geranium leaves. The cut-
tings were made last fall, rooted in
clean, sharp, coarse sand, and have done
well until the present time. Some show
red leaves which later dry up; others
are spotted or the edges are slowly wilt-
ing. A few days ago I used for the
first time Fungine, about one-half pint
to five quarts of rain water. Is this
mixture all right or should there be
more water added? Will the plants
overcome the disease and become strong
plants for spring bedding outdoors!
How often should the spraying of
Fungine be repeated, and at what time
of the day?
I am keeping the geraniums in a
night temperature of 55 degrees. The
house is new, has plenty of air and
light. I keep the plants on the dry
side, not allowing the foliage to be-
come wet. A brother florist thought
the disease was caused by keeping the
pots on coal ashes, because the ashes
contained too much sulphur, so I re-
moved as much soil as possible and
transplanted the plants into new pots.
The soil now consists of light, old com-
post, with a little ground rock lime.
There was no manure in the compost.
A. P. W.— Wis.
You have used the Fungine much too
strong. One part of Fungine to forty
parts of water is sufficiently strong,
or half the strength you have been
using. As the plants are strong, I feel
sure they will come out all right by bed-
ding time. Spray the plants when the
foliage is perfectly dry and preferably
in the morning, when the sun is on
them. It is not wise to spray in the
evening, as the plants should be dry
over night.
The old compost is often much lack-
ing in plant food and ground rock lime
would be of no value unless your soil
was of an acid nature. If you would
shake out your plants and repot them
in a mixture of four parts of loam, one
part old cow or horse manure, well
screened, and a 4-inch pot of fine bone
to each barrow load of compost, your
plants would make better headway and
the red appearance of the leaves, a sign
of improper soil or starvation, would
disappear. While too many coal ashes be-
low geraniums may prevent the roots
coming out at the bottom, a thin coat-
ing of well screened ashes I have never
found harmful. All kinds of plants are
plunged year after year outdoors in
coal ashes and I have never seen any
harm come to such plants. Such harm
as might come to the geraniums would
be more in the fact that roots could
not ' so easily strike any loam below
them, than in probable injury from sul-
phur in the ashes themselves. C. W.

Winter-flowering Begonias.
Early propagated plants of Cincin-
nati and (Lorraine begonias should now
be well rooted in 2i«^-inch pots and
ready for a shift into 3%-inch or 4-
inch pots. Continue to use a compost
largely composed of not too much de-
cayed leaf-mold and sand, with a little
old manure added. Stand them on a
bench where they will continue to get
some bottom heat, and have a night
temperature of 60 degrees.
Pot off leaf cuttings as soon as they
are nicely rooted. Do not wait for any
growths appearing above the sand.
They will come more quickly and
vigorously in pots than in the cutting
bench. A last batch of leaves can
now be put in, but after this date we
cannot get so steady bottom heat as
during the winter, and propagation
becomes more difficult. Propagation
from shoots, however, can be success-
fully carried out until June.
Propagating AntirrMnums.
During April is a good time to take
cuttings from any specially fine snap-
dragons to be benched in August for
a fall and winter crop. Cuttings will
not produce plants of the same vigor
as seedlings, but are necessary to per-
petuate specially good forms, which can
later be grown without other varieties
near them, so that seed can be saved,
and will give plants true to type. What
is particularly needed is a good winter-
blooming pink variety, one which will
flower through the cold months as
freely as does Phelps' White. We are
much in need of such a snapdragon, as
pink is a' far more salable color than
either white or yellow.
When propagating snapdragons use
only the best cuttings. This will
greatly improve your stock. Be care-
ful not to leave them in the cutting
bench any longer than you can help
after they are rooted.
Dutch Bulbs For Easter.
As Easter comes late, it will be neces-
sary to do some retarding in the case
of Dutch bulbous stock in pans, pots or
flats for that occasion. If a good cold
pit is at disposal, the bulk of the bulbs

will come along in ample tim^ if placed
in the greenhouses a couple of weeks
before they are needed. Where bulbs
are kept outdoors they will be, in many
cases, still buried in ice and snow. This
is just as we would wish it to be, for
such stock can be kept back nicely.
Murillo tulips, Victoria and Golden
Spur narcissi are likely to be the lead-
ing bulbs in pans the coming Easter,
with a probability that many species
will have passed.
Easter Lilies.
If the lilies have buds which are
two to three inches long April 1, they
will come along all right for Easter if
given a minimum of 60 to 65 degrees
and are freely syringed. If the buds
can only be seen standing erect and
clustered thickly together, . they are
late and need all the heat you can give
them. Of course we may have a warm
April and, in such a case, three weeks
in that month may be worth as much
as the whole of March, but weather is
a most uncertain factor and it is not
wise to take too much for granted.
>-r->.Giganteums are always inclined to be
"a little too dwarf and some shade on
the glass will help to give them the
necessary length.
If the buds in Lilium candidum can
be counted April 1 they will be on
time, but remember this lily will not
tolerate hard forcing; 50 degrees at
night should not be exceeded if blooms
of good size and substance are wa^nted.
Calceolaxias.
Keep the calceolarias cool, no mat-
ter whether you are growing the
herbaceous varieties or the rugosa, with
its intermediate forms, of which
Stewarti is still the best. It is of no
use trj^ing to force calceolarias. You
will simply ruin them if you do so.
A cold, clammy-feeling house seems to
suit them to a nicety. When the pots
are well filled with roots use liquid
manure, quite weak at first, a little
stronger as the spikes develop. If the
leaves are at all pale, use a little soot
water to tone them up. Never omit
fumigation. Do it once a week in or-
der to be Oft the safe side.
Marguerites.
If you want some large, bushy mar-
guerites to flower from the first of De-
cember onward, ^take some cuttings
now. The old Paris daisy with small,
white flowers, 'or Chrysanthemum
frutescens, is far ahead of all others
as a pot plant. These cuttings will
throw flower buds all summer, but
keep them picked oflf and give the
plants the necessary pinching, plung-
ing them outdoors through t6e Sum-
mer. These plants will be large and .
bushy before fall and will flower asy
early as .December or as late as May,
according, to how much you pinch them:
The yellow marguerites and the large
white varieties, such as Queen Alex-
andra and Mrs. Sander, do not make
nice, shapely pot plants like the old
variety, nor will they bloom as early
or as freely.
Shading.
While we have spells of dark weather,
the sun is now getting quite strong and
some shade on palms, ferns and other
foliage plants is necessary. Kerosene
and white lead makes a neat and eas-
ily applied shade. It can be made thin
to apply with a force pump or can be
put on with a long-handled whitewash

\E7HEN you meet Fred Cowperthwaite at the National Flower Show you are
"T at liberty to fire at him all the questions that you have been choking up
inside you from the moment you stepped within the door of that wonderful
exhibition — that's what Cowperthwaite is there for, to fire questions at. Prob-
ably you know a lot of men who can answer questions if you give them time,
but how many do you know who can come right slap-bang back at you with the
answer, the right answer, every time! But that's Cowperthwaite. He seems to
have his great store of knowledge all card-indexed in his mind, where he can
get it out at a moment's notice. That's why they made him chairman of the
Committee on Information for America's greatest show. And it's why he is a
popular lecturer before the garden clubs around PTiiladelphia, where they have a
habit of trying to heckle the speaker. It can't be done with Cowperthwaite.

plied as yet. Some orchids, especially
such as are in fiower, will need shade,
also fiowering plants of any variety
which it is desired to retard. It is im-
portant to shade newly potted cuttings,
but this is better in the form of cheese-
cloth or something movable, rather
than a permanent roof shade.
BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.
Alvin, Tex. — Negotiations are pend-
ing by which the receivership of the
Alvin-Japanese Nursery Co., which has
been in the courts for a year and a
half, will be terminated, according to
papers filed in the Eleventh District
court in Texas. An order was issued
by the court directing the sale of the
nursery and other property of the com-
pany near Alvin within thirty days,
dating from March 13. When the re-
ceiver was appointed the assets of the
company were said to amount to $200,-
000 and the liabilities $110,000. By
good management and sales of prop-
erty at different times, all the creditors
are being satisfied. The final sale of
the property and the payment of all
debts will terminate the receivership.
The business, of course, will be con-
tinued by the purchasers.
Springfield, O. — At a recent meeting
of the Springfield Florists' Club tree
planting in the city was discussed by
the members. As a step to better the
conditions pertaining to this work and
to bring about an organized effort, a
committee consisting of George H. Mel-
len, George D. Leedle and Arthur J.
Todd was appointed to recommend to
the city that a forester be appointed.

MICHiaANDEBS MEET.
Saginaw-Bay City Society.
The annual meeting and banquet of
the Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural
Society was held March 14, at Teutonia
hall, Saginaw. From this meeting will
spring the initiative for the organiza-
tion of a state association of florists
and gardeners. The annual business
and election of officers were postponed
until the next monthly meeting of the
society, April 3. The April meeting
will be held at the Boehringer Bros,
store, Bay City, and the members will
be the guests of John Irvine. The
postponement'of the annual election was
made on account of the large number
of out-of-town attendants. The after-
noon was largely spent in getting ac-
quainted, many of the attending florists
having never met before.
The meeting was held on the second
floor of the building, and the entire
hall was handsomely decorated by Sag-
gathering was for the appointment of
a committee by the society to confer
with other local clubs or societies on
the formation of a state organization.
This committee will be selected at the
next meeting of the society.
The Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural
Society was organized in 1913 at a
meeting held in Saginaw, and has grown
rapidly in numbers and in popularity.

Tbe Banquet.
At 7 0 'clock the assemblage sat down
to the annual banquet. The decora-
tions of the tables were unique, being
made up of red, pink and white carna-
tions and roses. Each of the ladies
was presented with a corsage bouquet
of violets. After the serving, Eudolph
Boehringer, of Bay City, president of
the society, assumed the role of toast-
master, and called upon a number of
those present for toasts in "flower lan-
guage." Many things of interest to
the profession were discussed at length,
both by the members of the club and
by the guests, prominent among these
being Harry Balsley, of Detroit. Mr.
Balsley spoke primarily on the possi-
bilities of a state organization, offer-
ing as an example the accomplishment
by the Illinois State Florists' Associa-
tion of securing a plant disease college.
He also spoke of the necessity for the
florist to inventory his physical strength,
as well as his business strength, yearly.
Following this toast a vote was taken,
and the unanimous approval of the

was a close contest between the W. W.
Edgar Co. and W. C. Rust, who finally
won in that order.
T. D. Hatfield, gardener to Walter
Hunnewell, who had a splendid group
of Dendrobium nobile in numerous
forms, was awarded a first-class certifi-
cate. He also displayed large Erica
melanthera. Donald McKenzie secured
a silver medal for a plant of Odontioda
BradshawisB, and a cultural certificate
for Sophro-Cattleya Thwaitsise. Thomas
Roland had a table of beautifully flow-
ered EVica melanthera. William

erica. Donald McKenzie had a fine
display of cyclamens. Thomas T. Watt

No prizes were offered for retailers,
but quite a number made nice displays.

decorated dinner tables. H. R. Comley
and Caplan, the Florist, decorated other
tables. The Houghton-Gorney Co. had

tion for Red •Radiance and Lady Alice
Stanley roses. W. R. Nicholson and
S. J. Goddard showed a vase of
Dorner's latest seedlings. E. A. Rich-
ards showed a new deep pink seedling

The largest and most notable display
in the exhibition was that of R. & J.
Farquhar & Co., which was in the form
of a charming spring flower garden. A
fountain played in the center, around
which were beds of various spring bulb-
ous plants. Banked up along the sides
were quantities of forced shrubs and
soft-wooded plants. The laburnums,
wistaria and Azalea Ksempferi were
worthy of special note; also Lilium
myriophyllum, or regale. This fine ex-
hibit, which entailed a lot of labor, was
worthily awarded a gold medal.
There was a good attendance at the
exhibition, the halls being particularly
crowded on the closing day, Sunday,
March 19. W. N. Craig.

AMONG TEWSSBUBY QBOWEBS.
liiuiiii
Louis E. Small.
Mr. Small is probably the most suc-
cessful grower of bachelor's buttons in
New England, if not in America.
Three roomy houses are devoted to
them. The plants now average four
to four and one-half feet in height and**
give a lot of flowers, which realize as
much money as carnations. Two
houses are devoted to carnations.
Champion I have never seen better
grown than here. There are few splits.
Alice has proved to be a free bloomer.
Pink Delight has been dropped. White
Wonder proves far more floriferous
thau Matchless. A scarlet and a deep
pink seedling looked promising.
A. Streckwald.
Sweet peas are grown at Mr. Streck-
wald's place; also a considerable num-
ber of carnations. Benora, Pink De-
light and Winsor looked particularly

are J. K. Chandler & Sons. Yellow
marguerites are largely grown and are
doing well. Sweet peas were coming
along in quantity. Violets, Spanish
iris, gladioli and calendulas are all
grown well. Carnations are also
grown. The best varieties noted were
Beacon, Benora, Champion, Matchless,
White Wonder and Philadelphia.
H. S. Chandler & Sons.
Another new firm is that of H. S.
Chandler & Sons, who grow chrysanthe-
mums heavily, particularly the early
ones; these are followed by single vio-
lets and Spencer sweet peas.
There are other Tewksbury estab-
lishments, in addition to those named,
which time would not permit me to
visit on this trip. W. N. Craig.
VEGETABLES AND
POTTED PIiANTS FOE BLOOM.
Will you please give me a list of the
best plants to grow in pots to bloom in
the house from the end of June until
the end of September? I would like
to grow them from seeds or bulbs, any-
thing except hydrangeas. What could
be grown now, and what could be
crown for another yeart
J. C. S.— 111.
The following flowering plants will
bloom after the end of June: Gloxinias
and tuberous begonias, each from seeds
sown early, or from bulbs, which can
be purchased now; fuchsias, propagated
from cuttings; AUamanda Williamsi,
from cuttings; achimenes, plant corms
now; Trachelium cseruleum, from seeds
or cuttings of previous year; Cleroden-
dron fallax, from seed; zonale gerani-
ums, and abutilons, from cuttings;
browallias, seeds or cuttings; Lasiandra
macrantha; Linum trigynum, cuttings;
iuch fibrous-rooted begonias as Gloire de
Chatelaine, seeds or cuttings; Lilium
speciosum and L. auratum, potted the
previous winter. C. W.
Bochester, N. Y. — Owing to a severe
case of quinsy, it will be necessary for
Horace J. Head to undergo special
treatment at one of the city hospitals.
Mr. Head trusts that there will be no
inconvenience caused by the omission
of the weekly Rochester letter from The
Beview for a short time.

TOMATOES UNDER GLASS
Moisture and Ventilation.
In two previous articles, in the issues
of The Eeview dated March 9 and 16,
the writer offered some suggestions on
sowing tomato seed and on transplant-
ing the seedlings to flats.
While these young tomato plants are
growing, we must not forget that toma-
toes require a dry, buoyant atmosphere.
Too much moisture will cause weak
and sappy growth, a most undesirable
state of things. Great care must be
taken in watering the young plants.
Do not water them unless they want
it, and then soak them thoroughly.
Free ventilation should always be
given when possible. Always avoid a
draft, but ventilate suflBciently to
maintain a dry, buoyant atmosphere.
In extremely hot weather leave the
ventilators open all night.
Planting on Benches.
As soon as the plants in 3-inch pots
have filled the pots with roots, plant
them out in their permanent quarters.
This is an operation that should never
be delayed. If the plants remain in
the pots too long, they will become
potbound. The foliage will turn yel-
low and drop off. The plants will rap-
idly deteriorate and will not be of
much use to the grower. It is better
to plant them out a week early than
a week too late. To be in time, you
must plant in time.
To get tomatoes really early, they
should be planted on raised benches.
The bottom heat thus obtained will
accelerate the growth and make it con-
tinuous. Tomatoes like a dry, warm
atmosphere, with plenty of air. To
get them early, the temperature in the
daytime must range from 65 to 80
degrees or more, in clear weather. A
steady, regular heat is the best. A low
temperature and chill will hold back
the early crop of tomatoes for weeks,
and in many cases the chill will cause
the flowers to drop instead of setting.
Compost for the Benches.
The compost for an ordinary 6-inch
bench should consist of good fibrous
loam, to which has been added well de-
cayed stable manure in the proportion
of one to six. This will give both
chemical and physical action, invalu-
able to the plants. To this compost
I would add one-fourth pound of super-
phosphate, one-half pound of bone meal
and two ounces of potash sulphate to
every two square yards of bench, fork-
ing this in just before planting the
tomatoes. Some growers may object
to this, but experience proves that
tomatoes are heavy and balanced feed-
ers. True, they can be spoiled in the
early stage by gross feeding either
in the form of sappy manure or an
overdose of some compounded nitrog-
enous manure. This I have avoided,
and it should always be avoided. It
is an easy matter to turn a fruitijig
plant into a foliage plant, thereby hav-
ing your first fruit trusses a foot from
the soil instead of having two bunches
in that space.
The condition of the compost is an
essential point. It should be sufficiently
moist to hold together in the hand
when squeezed, and dry enough to fall
to pieces when released. A sodden
soil means a cold soil; a cold soil
means no root action; no root action
means no growth, and this spells dis-
aster.
Taking it for granted that we are
going to grow the plants on the single
stem, they should be planted eighteen
inches apart each way. Make the
ground quite firm around the plants
when planting. F. E. B.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
Last week several hundred feet of
motion pictures, a part of a weekly
news film, showed a large field of
Eastftr lilies in full bloom in Massachu-
setts. Outdoors, in March! If there
were any florists in the audience it is
safe to say that they were mildly as-
tounded at seeing Easter lilies flower-
ing in the open in Massachusetts the
second week of March. The literature
accompanying the picture said that the
lilies recently were photographed at the
R. & J. Farquhar & Co. greenhouses,
Roslindale, Mass., and, further, that
these flowers were grown in large num-
mers in anticipation of a heavy de-
mand at Easter. Notwithstanding that
Easter this year is April 23, these mo-
tion picture lilies persisted in blooming
outdoors more than a month ahead of
time! Perhaps the whole thing was a
trick of photography, intended to fool
the people but not the florists. The
truth probably is that a field of Lilium
myriophyllum was photographed some-
time last summer, and the film put on
the shelf for a year. But then, better
late than never.
FLOWER GUM.
Can you give me any information as
to a preparation of mucilage for pelar-
goniums t It is called floral cement in
England, and is dropped in the center
of the flowers from a small oil can, to
prevent the flowers from falling. Where
can it be bought t J. E. T. — Wis.
Floral gum, or cement, is used to a
large extent in England and has been
for many years, especially in the cen-
ters of pelargonium flowers, either cut
or on the plants, when they are sent
to the market. A single drop suffices
for each flower. Thin mucilage might
answer, but is not so colorless as floral
gum. I do not know of any American
concern offering this cement. Sutton
& Sons and other English houses offer
it at 1 shilling and 2 shillings per bot-
tle. It would import easily. C. W.
LILY LEAVES BROWNING.
Will you please tell us the cause of
the brown spots on the ends of the en-
closed lily leaves t You will notice
that only the tips of the leaves are af-
fected. K. & 8. C— Wis.
This may be due to disease in the
bulbs, improper temperatures or too
much water. Keep your temperature
for g^ganteums about 60 degrees at
night, water them carefully and spray
them freely, and I do not think the
trouble will spread. Such leaves often
appear when bulbs have been over-
watered in the early stages of growth
and the plants kept too cool. C. W.

MINNEAPOLIS.
Various Notes.
Northrup, King & Co. have altered
their retail department, and now cer-
tainly have one of the finest seed stores
in the country. A splendidly equipped
counter runs the entire length of the
store. It is tastefully set out, and
all kinds of garden seeds are nicely dis-
played. One great feature of this con-
cern is its sale of return collections of
boxed seeds. The cases are a decora-
tion to any store, and the seeds are reli-
able in quality and germination.
O. C. Swanson last week had a good
display of spring flowers in his store
on Nicollet avenue. Attractive baskets
are always a feature, and it is really
surprising what can be done without
repeating the decoration.
The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses
have a fine lot of stock coming on for
the Easter trade. Business has been
up to the standard this winter.
Hans Eosacker now has 60,000 square
feet of glass. He is handling a fine
cut of roses and carnations. The new
block of houses was constructed with
an eye to economy. Consider this for
a motto: "Economize and you will
rise." Where can this be more true
than in the florists' business? Be-
fore building decide what you are go-
ing to grow, and have your houses built
accordingly. This and more Mr. Ro-
sacker has done.
The Eldridge Floral Co. is making
improvements in its store and carries a
good stock of high-grade flowers.
The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses
have a fine lot of schizanthus hybrids,
mostly in 7-inch pots, for cutting. The
color is something marvelous. I count-
ed more than thirty shades of color in
a hundred plants. Some of the plants
were three feet high, and the foliage
was fine.
The Lenten season has commenced,
and the sale of cut flowers naturally
has fallen oflP. All the growers are do-
ing all they can to get their Easter
stock in fine shape. Easter is a long
way ahead, and the stock must be
handled with great care.
St. Patrick's day was boosted for
all it was worth. White carnations
were dyed green. If a beautiful car-
nation could see itself dyed, I fully be-
lieve that it would really want to die.
But then, why should the owl to the
moon complaint The dyed carnation
has its commercial value, and fills a
good purpose, so here's to the gay and
gallant Irish! May they live happily
and die of old age.
The Mazey Floral Co. had a nice dis-
play of bulbous stock and an appropri-
ate show for St. Patrick 's day.
The Lake Street Florist Shop, Mr.
Mitchell, proprietor, is certainly forg-
ing ahead. New interior decorations
and two electric signs, backed by a
nice selection of stock, have brought
good business. Mr. Mitchell says if
you want your wheelbarrow to go, push
it yourself.
H. B. Whitted's window was decked
out for St. Patrick's day. The decora-
tion consisted of a typical "Pat" with
a wheelbarrow full of "praties."
Bedad, the whiskers of him were fine.
Some said that he was from Mayo. One
man said he \^s sure from Connemara.
Another said ne was from Tipperary,
and grew his whiskers in the trenches.
Just then a newsboy said: "Gee, Jim-
my, his head's just a cocoanut! " It is
surprising how one nut will draw an-
other. This • window was the essence
of advertising. Attractive ads of at-
tractive goods attract the attention of
attentive people. The result is all-
round satisfaction; advertise to em-
phasize.
The members of the Minneapolis park
board were practically unanimous in
favoring an increase in salary to $6,000
for Superintendent Wirth, Mr. Wirth,
it is understood, has a $7,500 offer from
Boston, The board members approved
an increase of $300 for Mr. Bossen,
assistant to Mr. Wirth, making his
salary $2,700. The board engineer still
is scheduled for an increase from $2,700
to $3,000. When the committee reached
the proposed $300 increase for the head
forester it encouraged objections from
other members of the board; also on the
proposal to increase the salary of the
head gardener from $1,600 to $1,800.
The increases were not allowed.

BALTIMORE.
The Market.
About the only feature of last week 's
business was the heavy demand for
white carnations. A sermon by Billy
Sunday, on "Mothers," at which he
requested his audience to wear white
flowers, coupled with the demand for
white for coloring for St. Patrick's
day, made white carnations rather hard
to secure and many orders were neces-
sarily turned down. The Lenten season
does not seem to have much effect on
retail business. The stores are buying
as largely as usual, but there has been
a considerable decrease in funeral work.
Stock generally has increased in supply;
consequently prices have dropped some-
what, but no surplus of any size is
noted.
Boses are in good supply and moving
fairly well, but, strange to say, white
is not in the demand it was up to a
short time ago. Carnations have not
as yet caught up with the demand, al-
though dark-colored ones- are lower in
price. In bulbous stock tulips have
shortened in supply, but there are
enough of them for all demands. Daf-
fodils are plentiful, but not moving
briskly. In valley both the supply
and the demand are light. Violets
have been moving slowly and smilax
still remains scarce. Asparagus is in
good crop and selling well.
Various Notes.
Frank J. Le Clair, until recently
salesman for the Julius Roehrs Co.,
Rutherford, N. J., will engage in busi-
ness for himself and open a city office
at 409 North Howard street, about
March 25, where a full line of sample
nursery stock will be shown.
Philip B. Welsh has placed his order
for material for a pipe-frame house,
37x100, to be added to his range at
Glen Morris during the summer.
The first southern daffodils were seen
on the streets last week. They are
small and short of stem and are not
being handled by the wholesale florists'
houses, but by the street fakers, who
have an agency through which they se-
cure them from the southern growers.
The Griffith & Turner Co., in addition
to its line of seeds and implements, has
taken the agency for a well known
make of automobile tires.
A. A. Niessen, of Philadelphia, was
a caller last week.
The street merchants who have sold
flowers along Lexington street for
many years were notified March 18 that
that would be their last day. This is a
subject which has created considerable
discussion among the trade at different
times. The street venders have been
removed often, only to be back at their
old stands shortly afterwards. This,^
however, seems to be the final disposi-'^
tion of them, as the city officials have *
taken the matter up in earnest. This
will not interfere with those occupying
licensed stands on Eutaw street and
Lexington street, about twenty-five feet
east of Eutaw, but any stall or stand
outside the market limits is prohibited.
The committee in charge of arrange-
ments for the party attending the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia has
decided on going Wednesday, March 29,
on the train leaving Union station at
9 a. m. This is a through train and
makes the trip in two hours. Many
members of the local club have signi-
fied their intention of going and it is
hoped that as mapy as possible will
go on this date, so as to make the best
possible showing for the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club of Baltimore.
William F. Gude and a committee
from Washington were on a visit to
this city last week to secure entries for
the Atlantic Coast Bowling Tourna-
ment, which will be held at Washington
in April.
The next club meeting will be held «

The Olub's Monthly Trip.
Tuesday morning, March 14, at 11:30,
the Lancaster County Florists' Club
left on its monthly visiting trip, to
call on Maurice J. Brinton, at Chris-
tiana. As is well known, Mr. Brinton
is one of the foremost lily growers in
the country, having quantities of
blooms every day of the'year. He had
an immense planting of Paper Whites
this winter, and realized good prices
for them. Four large houses of carna-
tions were in fine condition. The old
variety, Victory, as grown here, leaves
nothing to be desired in color. Mr.
Brinton will erect a new greenhouse
this spring, 40x140 feet. Quality is
the keynote of the product of this es-
tablishment, and a visit to it is always,
a privilege.
A ciall was then made on J. Rutter
Hess & Son, at Gap, Pa. They grow
carnations extensively and the stock
looked well. White Enchantress does
especially well here *nd is preferred to
Matchless. They grow large quantities
of vegetable plants in the spring, which
are sold locally. The place throughout
is a model of neatness.
Paradise, Pa., was the next stop-over,
and here Ira H. Landis was called upon.
Considerable space is devoted to car-
nations. His stock is in fine order and
an examination of the plants revealed
a heavy cut during midwihter. Mr.
Landis is a firm believer in growing
the various shades of carnations, other
than white, pink and red. His beds of
Princess Dagmar, Benora and Yellow
Prince were especially fine. Mrs. Ake-
hurst has given such a good account
of itself here that the planting of it
will be largely increased next season.
Mr. Landis also grows quantities of
freesias, calendulas, lupines, Spanish

iris, gladioli, etc. Last, but not least,
the host had the visitors saihple his
home-made cherry wine and Mrs. Lan-
dis' delicious cookies, both of which
were pronounced splendid.
Charles M. Weaver of Eonks, was
the next grower called upon. His two
400-foot houses, planted to peas, were
a pleasing sight. From one of the
houses blooms have been cut since De-
cember, while from the other house the
first blooms are beipg cut. Mr. Weaver
has a number of varieties of his own
selection, which are distinct and rank
among the best in the market today.
At the Elmer J. Weaver place, also
at Bonks, the standard varieties of car-
nations are grown in quantity. A house
which produced a crop of tomatoes
earlier in the season is planted to sweet
peas, stocks and lettuce — a good com-
bination for a follow-up crop. Many
thousands of asters are on their way
and the usual large planting will be
made.
The Club Meeting.
Returning to X/ancaster, a dozen of
the florists sat down to dinner at the
Brunswick hotel with R. Vincent, Jr.,
of White Marsh, Md., who had just
arrived for the evening meeting of the
club.
At 7:30 p. m. President Harry A.
Schroyer called the meeting to order.
The following were elected members:
R. J. Antes, Frank Hauck, Paul Mur-
phy and W. M. Hawman.
The club voted $50 to the city's fund
to secure a site for the proposed
armory, which will be built by the
state and which will be an appropriate
place to hold the chrysanthemum shows
of the club in the future. The com-
mittee arranging a ladies' night for
April reported progress.
The club has ordered 100 tickets for
the National Flower Show and indica-
tions are that Lancaster county florists
will be there almost to a man. The
event of the evening was the lecture of
R. Vincent, Jr., on "The Bulb Fields of
Holland, ' ' illustrated with a large num-
ber of slides. Most of the pictures
were taken by members of Mr. Vin-
cent's party when they visited Holland
a few years ago. Most of the ladies
of the Florists' Club were present and
all voted the meeting one of the most
pleasant ever held.
Various Notes.
The [Lancaster City and County Flo-
rists' and Gardeners' Employees' Fra-
ternity is the name of a floricul-
tural organization recently formed.
The officers are: President, Louis Ben-
ner; secretary, Edward Geiter. The
fraternity has secured the Chamber of
Commerce rooms for the meetings. The
membership numbers forty. The ob-
ject of the fraternity is to assist its
members morally, financially and edu-
cationally. The next meeting will be
held March 28. Steps are being taken
to arrange a series of lectures on plant
life and propagation of plants. Al-
phonse Peters is taking an active part
in organizing the association. The
Lancaster County Florists' Club ex-
tends its best wishes to the new asso-
ciation. H. K. R.
Dallas, Tex. — March 6, was rose plant-
ing day in Dallas. The mayor in a
proclamation asked the people to beau-
tify their homes hy planting rose
bushes. Apparently the mayor is a
good business booster.
New Orleans, La. — Plans for the
spring flower show of the New Orleans
Horticultural Society have been com-
pleted. The beneficiary of the exhibi-
tion this year will be the Louisiana
Anti-Tuberculosis League, and the offi-
cers of the society, Henry Scheuer-
mann, J. Farley, C. R. Panter and John
Eblen, are working hard to break the
attendance record during the four days
of the show, April 6 to 9.
Enozville, Twin.—' ' Baum 's Home of
Flowers," the new store of Charles L.
Baum, at Market street and Clinch
avenue, had an auspicious formal open-
ing March 9 and 10. Every visitor was
presented with a flower souvenir. The
well known proprietor is assisted by his
two sons, Karl P. Baum, manager, who
recently was elected president of the
Tennessee State Florists' Association,
and Roy L. Baum, who has charge of
the growing end, at the greenhouses.
Charles Baum is a member of the board

Houston, Tex.— Louis Buchner, for-
merly grower at the Brazos Green-
houses, has gone into business for him-
self on Hutchins street.
Fort Wortli, Tex. — Another woman to
enter the business is Mrs. R. King, who
grows flowers for the retail trade and
does a little market gardening on the
side.
Louisville, Ky. — The contract for
decorating the exhibition hall of this
year's automobile show was awarded
to the E. G, Reimers & Sons Co. The
large hall, 200x300 feet, was decorated
to resemble a colonial rose garden.
The many booths were separated by
white-enameled picket fences, which
were covered with southern smilax and
pink roses. The overhead decoration
was obtained by running wires length-
wise and crosswise, and attaching to
these smilax and roses. Frosted lights
at intervals of eighteen inches .en-
hanced the effect at night. The l)al-
cony was elaborately decorated with
cedar trees and laurel. More than
6,000 paper roses, a carload of smilax
and fifty palms and ferns were used.
Mrs. Matthew Crawford.
Mrs. Ellen K. Crawford was instantly
killed on the evening of March 2, by an
interurban car in Cuyahoga Falls, O.,
where she had lived for many years. In
crossing the tracks she became confused
b|y the glare of a swiftly passing auto-
mobile and stepped back in the way of
an approaching car. She was not cut or
mangled, but the injuries were such as
to cause instant death. Mrs. Crawford
was the wife of the well known horticul-
turist, Matthew Crawford. She was born
in 1840 and they celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary December 31, 1915.
She was a prominent teacher for many
years, one -of the public schools being
named in her honor. She leaves her hus-
band, two sons and a host of friends. The
Gladiolus Society of Ohio, of which she
was a charter member, through a commit-
tee has prepared a memorial of appre-
ciation of her beautiful life.
W. A. C.
Wickllffe L. Smith.
Wickliffe L. Smith, for more than
fifty years a florist, died March 17 in
the St. Joseph's hospital, Aurora, HI.,
at the age of 64. Mr. Smith was taken
ill early in the winter and gradually
grew weaker until three weeks ago,
when he was taken to the hospital for
treatment.
The deceased moved to Aurora from
the east in 1860 and established his
business on North View street. In his
prime he was considered one of the best
florists in the middle west and was un-
usually successful in propagating plants.
In 1902 Mr. Smith retired from the
business, and from that time on worked
for various concerns in Aurora. He
was a charter member of the S. A. F.
His wife and three daughters survive
him.
Mr. Smith was well known in the
east, having worked there for several
years. At the funeral March 19 there
were many floral tributes from his
friends in the trade. The pallbearers,
all of whom are florists, were J. M.
Smely, Frank Shaffer, C. Nielsen and
Peter A. Freeman, all of Aurora; L. C.
Worth, of Mooseheart, 111., and Charles
McCauley, of Geneva, 111.
John Adam Klehm.
John Adam Klehm, of Arlington
Heights, 111., a pioneer nurseryman,
died March 16, aged 81 years. The
funeral was held March 18, at his late
residence, Rev. Charles Noack officiat-
ing. Interment in the Lutheran ceme-
tery.
John Adam Klehm was born July 14,
18a4. in l.'uedelsheim, Hessen Darm-
stadt, Germany. His father died July
5, 1840, and in June, 1851, his mother
and her two sons, John and George,
came to America. They lived in the
town of Seneca and the city of Buffalo,
N. Y., until the spring of 1855, when
they moved to Jefferson Park, 111. Two
years later, they moved to Arlington
Heights, then called Dujnton, where
John Klehm lived until his death. He
was married to Elizabeth Stitz Jan-
uary 11, 1862, in Chicago. The young
couple took up married life in Arling-
ton Heights, and were identified with

the early advancement and growth of
the village. To them were bom five
children, three of whom, George,
Charles and Henry, are living.
Klehm's Nurseries will ever stand
as a monument to the memory of the
man who gave the best years of his
life to developing it, who raised three
sons, of exemplary character, and edu-
cated them in the ways of business,
until they lifted the burden from their
father's shoulders.
Mr. Klehm suffered for a large share
of his life, but he seldom complained,
even during the last eight months of
his life, when he was unable to lie
down, but was compelled to remain in
an easy ch%ir.
There remain to cherish his memory
his wife, three sons, George and Charles,
of Arlington Heights, Henry, of Moline,
fifteen grandchildren, and a brother in
Niles Center, 111.
George L. Freeman.
George L. Freeman, of Fall Kiver,
Mass., died at his home, 469 Locust
street, March 9, after an illness of only
two days.
Quiet and unassuming in manner, it
is doubtful if there was any florist who
had a more comprehensive knowledge
of the trade in this country, or who en-
joyed a larger acquaintance. He was
known and liked as well on the Pacific
coast and in the middle west as in his
own native New England. For many
years he had done a large business in
imported orchid plants, making collect-
ing trips to Central and South Amer-
ica to obtain stock to fill orders accu-
mulated as the result of long journeys
through the United States to call on
orchid growers; he once told the writer
of this note that he had for years aver-
aged 30,000 miles of travel per year
and his stories of his varied experiences
in the business made him an always
welcome visitor wherever trade infor-
mation is in request. There was no
one who had a more exact knowledge
of commercial orchids or of the market
conditions as relates to orchid blooms.
While he specialized on orchids his
views were so broad that his knowledge
extended to all other flowers compet-
ing with orchids in the markets and in
retail stores. Mr. Freeman had booked
passage for South America, intending
to sail from New York March 15, and
the portrait herewith presented is pre-
pared from a photograph made on the
Monday before his death.
Mr. Freeman was born at Wellfleet,
Mass., where he conducted his orchid
business for some years before he re-
moved to Fall Eiver. The remains were
taken to Wellfleet for interment by
the Adams lodge of Masons. He is
survived by his widow, Catherine J.
Freeman, who, as administratrix of his
estate, will carry on the business,
Jacob H. Harvey.
Funeral services for Jacob Henry
Harvey, of 189 Broad street, Newark,
N. J., were held from his late home
Thursday evening, March 16. Mr.
Harvey died after a five weeks' illness
from the grip and pleuro-pneumonia, at
St. Michael 's hospital, March 14. Early
in the year Mr. Harvey contracted the
grip and was obliged to quit business.
A few days later Mrs. Harvey also got
the grip. She recovered in a • short
time, but Mr. Harvey had a series of
relapses. About three weeks before his
death he and Mrs. Harvey went to
George L. Freeman.
Atlantic City, in the hope that the
change would do them good. "While
there he seemed 'to be improving, but
after he returned home pleuro-pneu-
monia set in and he wds taken to the
hospital.
Mr. Harvey was born in Newark, but
was educated in a private school in
Eichmond, Va. For a while he was in
the florists' business in the south.
When he returned to Newark he started
a flower store on Broad street, opposite
the Continental hotel. Mr. Harvey was
the fourth generation of Newark florists
of that name. His great-grandfather,
Jacob J., and his grandfather, Levinas
J. Harvey, carried on a florists* busi-
ness on a tract of land on Belleville
avenue, near where the Mt. Pleasant
cemetery now is. Harvey street, which
now extends through that plot, was
named after Mr. Harvey's grandfather.
Surviving him are his wife, one
daughter, Mrs. William W. Macknaugh-
ton, and three sons, Otley C, Jacob J.
and Blakely Harvey. Mr. Harvey also
is survived by three sisters. R. B. M.
Ruth L. Plumb.
Ruth L. Plumb, wife of John C.
Plumb, landscape gardener, died at the
home of her parents, 7200 Yale avenue,
Chicago, March 20. She was in hea,
twenty-fourth year. Funeral services
were held March 22. Interment was
in Mount Hope cemetery. She is sur-
vived by her husband, both parents
and a sister.
Elizabeth Elevem.
Following an illness extending over
many months, Elizabeth Klevern, wife
of Leonard Klevern, doing business at
Chicago as the Fifty-ninth* Street Flo-
rist, died March 18 of consumption.
Mrs. Klevern was born in Holland,
February 19, 1883. Funeral services
were held in the home at 6008 Union
avenue, at 2 p. m., March 21. Inter-
ment was in Mount Hope cemetery.
She is survived by her husband and one
child, a boy of 4 years.
Charles E. Pierce.
Charles E. Pierce, of Washington,
D. C, died March 14 at one of the
local hospitals, to which he had been
taken a few hours before when stricken
with a sudden illness. He was 39 years
of age and is survived by four brothers,
James F., John H., William T. and
George E. Pierce. He was the son of
the late William P. Pierce, who, prior
to his death ten years ago, was en-
gaged for a quarter of a century in the
florists' business on Bowen road. The
deceased succeeded his father in the
business. C. L. L.

The market for geraniums appears to
be absolutely without limit. At present
it ifl the trade that is buying, but soon the
public will be calling for them and then
nothing but plants showing flower will do.
There is a decidedly active demand
for cuttings of Carnation Good Cheer,
with extremely few on the market. Those
who bought it last year are reserving
their stock for their own use next seasbn.
A NEW steel frame greenhouse less than
forty-one feet wide is an exception in the
experience of Lord & Burnham Co., ac-
cording to George Sykes, the western
manager. Standard widths run from
forty-one to eighty feet, he says.
In the flower business the arrival of
Lent scarcely was apparent this year.
In the early days of the trade, business,
except funeral work, practically ceased
on Ash Wednesday and was light until
Easter, but in these modern days flowers
are not among the things eschewed during
the forty days.

case you receive such an order, apply the

some printed so you only need fill in a
couple of blanks. Keep them on hand.

PIPE PRICES BOOSTED AOAIN.
The National Tube Co., followed by
all independent pipe concerns, March
15 announced an advance of from $2
to $6 a ton on all black pipe up toj
twelve inches in diameter and from
$2 to $10 a ton on galvanized pipe in,
the same sizes, the same to take effect
at once. A Pittsburgh trade authority
says the advance was anticipated,
owing to steadily increasing costs of
production and serious situation regard-
ing the supply of raw materials.
PRIZE ROSE IS NAMED.
Just for fear you missed this item
in the San Francisco news-letter of
The Review last week, the following
item is reprinted here:
The $1,000 prize rose grown and exhibited at
the Panauia-Paclfic International Exposition has
been named Lillian Moore, after the wife of
fTiarlps C. Moore, president of the exposition.
The International Jury of awards, which had the
namine of the rose, made the announcement a
few days ago, after sending the prize check of
$1,000 to Hugh Dickson, of Belfast, Ireland, Its
creator.
The rose is to be distributed next
year by Charles H. Totty, who is Amer-
ican agent for Dickson's novelties.
THE TELEGRAPH DELIVERY.
A meeting of the members of the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery is sched-
uled for Thursday, March 30, 2 p. m.,
at the Hotel Walton, Philadelphia.
In connection with the National
Flower Show the F. T. D. will work a
unique publicity stunt, assisted by its
members and the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. On the morning of the open-
ing of the show at Philadelphia each
member of the F. T. D. will receive a
night letter signed and sent from the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery Publicity
Booth, directing the member to send a
box of flowers to the mayor of his town.
The telegram, which will come from
Secretary Pochelon, will direct that the
card on the flowers should read:
"Greetings to your Honor from the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery Service,
Fourth National Show at Philadel-
phia."
The mayor of every town can be ex-
pected to reply and the replies will be
pinned onto a 9-foot map of the United
States which will show the towns in
which there are members. This map
will be in the F. T. D. booth during
the time of the national show.
The committee that has charge of the
publicity for the F. T. D. work at the
National Flower Show was much im-
pressed with this scheme and Secretary
Pochelon is sure the trade will get, a
lot of good from it.

CHICAGO.
The Market.
The ofiicial advent of spring, March
20, was accompanied, -at Chicago, by a
melange of rain, snow and sunshine.
The last named element played only a
subordinate part. The first two, how-
ever, had the effect of somewhat check-
ing an unusually active market for the
Lenten season. It is really remarkable
what a negligible factor in market con-
ditions Lent has thus far proved to be.
Whether it is less generally observed
than usual, or whether there are more
funerals and sickness, it is hard to de-
termine. The fact remains that wdth
the exception of one or two days when
the weather was decidedly disagree-
able, the demand has been such as to
leave little room for complaint. The
market was practically cleaned out
March 18 and 19.
The supply of spring Beauties is
slowly gathering volume and there is a
marked improvement in the quality of
those appearing on the market. Eus-
sell, however, is still quite generally be-
ing offered as a substitute for Beauties.
Eussell is in good supply and is clear-
ing, but not at an altogether satisfac-
tory price. Milady manages to remain
in the spotlight. Supply and demand
for Killarney and Killarney Brilliant
are balancing. A week ago White Kil-
larney betrayed a tendency to drag, but
by the end of the week there devel-
oped a lively demand for short stock to
be used in funeral work. Ophelia, Sun-
burst and Ward are clearing. Long

stock, however, in all varieties, is mov-
ing much more slowly than short stock.
The general demand for carnations
is much more active than it was a week
ago. If there is any variation in sup-
ply, it is toward the short side of the
market. It is gratifying to note that
the percentage of splits is growing
smaller. Quality, on the whole, il fair-
ly good. The demand for violets ex-
perienced a regenerating influence the
end of last week, which completely
cleared the market of both singles and
doubles. It is complained, however,
that doubles have been coming into the
market in such poor condition that it
is generally quite difficult to move
them.
There is practically no change in the
market conditions of miscellaneous
stock. Jonquils are not moving in a
satisfactory way and, as a result, there
are many holdovers. Tulips still ^joy
a fair degree of trade favor, the sup-
ply being small because so many have
come blind this year. Freesid, and sweet
peas are giving a good account of them-
selves. The short side of the market
still holds a strange fascination for
valley. Easter lilies, of course, are
brushing up to come into their own,
and in consequence are objects of more
than usual interest. The supply seems
to be fair and the quality good.
Calendulas, snapdragons, daisies, mig-
nonette and pansies are available and
move, though without any degree of
ostentation.
Greens have been moving well and
all kinds are in good supply with the
exception of smilax.

The Florists' Review

and a severe attack of neuralgia, Otto
Frese, of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., is
still on the job. John Enders is con-
valescing as rapidly as could be ex-
pected.
Paul Klingsporn, manager of the Chi-
cago Flower Growers' Association, is
regretting his inability to attend the
National Flower Show, which will be
held in his home town.
After a most enjoyable visit with
relatives in Bock Island, Mrs. Allie
Zech returned to Chicago March 19.
As a first step in preparedness for
Easter, (Louis W. Biermann, of Elm-
hurst, made a thorough inspection of
the plant department of tl^e Poehlmann
Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, this week.
Several nice landscaping contracts
are occupying the attention of D. D. P.
Roy these days.
The Golden Floral Co., a wholesale
establishment, was officially opened for
business March 16 at 173 North Wabash
avenue. J. M. Lamport, manager, says
the new house will specialize in out-
door-grown stock and novelties. A
remarkable feature of this concern is
the fact that all stock handled by it
is grown in California, whence ship-
ments are made twice a week.
The smiling face of Charles Erne was
seen on the market March 20 for the
first time since his sojourn in Michael
Beese hospital. It is hard to believe
that he has been ill. His general ap-
pearance would indicate a two weeks'
vacation at Palm Beach. Mr. Erne
said the long hours in a hospital ward
would have been unendurable but for
The Beview, which was sent to the
hospital regularly.
Grafted rose stock has sold better
this year than ever before in the ex-
perience of C. L. Washburn, of Bassett
& Washburn. Ground was broken
March 20 for the new greenhouses at
Greggs. According to Mr. Washburn,
this will give that firm 400,000 square
feet of glass, and he says by the end
of next year the total will be 1,000,-
000 square feet. This, he figures, will
keep a building crew on the job until
late fall and will give it work again
as soon as frost is out of the ground
next spriilig. Sunday, March 19, the
Greggs range was visited by Otto and
Walter Amling, who motored over from
Maywood.
The shipping department of J. A.
Budlong can again take a long breath.
Boswell Schupp has sent word from
Hot Springs, Ark., that he will be ba(^k
on the job by the end of the week.
Some excellent stocks are being
shipped by Charles Wiffin, of Des
Plaines, to O. A. & L. A. Tonner.
March 20, the first day of spring, J.
C. Michal opened his new store at 1168
Sixty-third street. Handsome new fix-
tures have been installed, so that the
store makes a good appearance in spite
of its old-fashioned front, which no
doubt soon will come out. There now
are four flower stores within two blocks
on that street.
Chicago is too well represented in
this week's obituary column. It re-
cords the death of the father of the
Klehm brothers and the wives of Leon-
ard EUevern and J. C. Plumb.

enough roses to meet the demand.
Beauties are scarce and command good
prices. In white and pink roses the
medium grades are more sought after
than the shorts or fancies. Carnations
are still on the increase, but it does not
seem to affect the price, as they are
bringing $3 to $5 per hundred. Sweet
peas, while long in quantity and short
as to quality, are selling well. Violets
are about the same as last reported.
Snapdragons, mignonette. Paper Whites,
valley and hyacinths are in somewhat
small supply. There are sufficient tulips
in all colors and plenty of greens of all
kinds with the exception of plumosus
sprays. Some extra fine Dutch hya-
cinths are to be seen in the market and
find ready sale.

ness on North Sixteenth street, i^ re-
modeling and redecorating both the in-
terior and front of the building and
changing the style of the show windows,
which makes quite an improvement over
the old place. The company has been
doing an excellent business in cut flow-
ers and pot plants, taking into consid-
eration the general disorder of things
while making repairs. The springlike
weather the last two weeks gave the
store several days of rushing business
in garden tools and seeds, • Mr. Stewart
anticipates that the coming year's vol-
ume of business will exceed any ever
experienced.
Bert Howse, the popular and ever
genial pot plant grower for Chas. Faulk-
ner, was married last week, his bride
being Miss Jean Stevenson. Their
many friends in the trade wish them
all the joys of wedlock.

coming summer, when Newark will be
celebrating the two hundred and fifti-

discussed. The Florists' Club will co-
operate in this matter with the lot and

consisting of Newark florists will rep-

discussed preliminary plans for another

The Market.
Beauties and sweet peas are more
plentiful. That covers the change from
last week's report. The buoyant con-
ditions that have prevailed almost
since Lent set in, continue. The supply
is daily sold at good prices — a remark-
able condition for the third week of
March, due to the severe, steady cold.
But that it is unusual is shown -by the
fact that the National Flower Show is
almost upon us, and in selecting the
time for the show market conditions
are considered; that is, probable market
conditions — the third week of Lent is
expected to be dull. Prices on Beauties
and sweet peas have declined; the for.
mer because they were abnormally high,
the latter because the large cuts of a
week ago have been doubled this week.

fere with their sale — no one seems to
want them. Single violets sell moder-
ately well; the quantity now is smaller;
some come from the houses, some from
the frames.
Carnations felt the stimulus of St.
Patrick's day, that is, so fa^ as white
is concerned, and of mortuary demands.
It hardly seemed as though there was
as much dyeing as usual. Prices on
white carnations remained at $1 to $2
per dozen higher than colored, up to the
day after the anniversary; since then
they have declined to the level of col-
ored. Daffodils and tulips have been
enjoying public favor; both are in fine
form and bring fair prices for the sea-
son. Asparagus, which dragged a week
ago, has sold better, while ferns are in
demand. All good roses have been sell-
ing briskly, with varying reports of
the strength of the support given to
the different varieties, colors and
grades. Southern daffodils have ar-
rived.

Philadelphia want to ask is: "Will it
be worth while for me to go to the
show!" I will try to answer that ques-
tion fairly, by giving a single illustra-
tion of what is being done. J. G.
Eisele, vice-president of Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., has forced 1,800 roses in
6-inch pots, which will be in bloom at
the show. These roses carry from four
to six flowers each, borne on strong
stems. They cover a wide range of
varieties, many of them novelties that
have never before been flowered in this
country. This exhibit alone will be of
a size and quality such as have never
been attempted at any show in this
country. It will give opportunity for
study and comparison of extraordinary
value. This is merely one exhibit;
there may, there undoubtedly will, be
other exhibits of the greatest value.
Each firm or individu^ exhibitor is
planning to do something a little bet-
ter than has ever been done before. I
am confident the results will justify
every florist in making a special effort
to come. The program is: General ex-
hibition opens March 25, at 2 p. m.;
cut roses staged March 27; carnations
staged March 28; sweet peas staged
March 29; banquet, retail florist's' ex-
hibits and general display- of roses,
March 30; display of carnations by
commercial growers and retail florists'
carnation exhibits, March 31. The ex-
hibition closes April 2.

season is such an important feature of
the market that it is worthy of men-
tion that the late August Gontram, of
Holmesburg, first introduced the method
hereabouts. It consists of giving the
violets in the houses a little more heat
through the winter, so that their flow-
ering season is shortened; then follow
them with a crop of sweet peas. Most
of the single violets now coming to
town are from frames.

Are You Going to the Show?
THE NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW, which is to be held in Philadelphia from March 25th
to April 2ncl, will be the largest attended Flower Show ever held in any part of the country.
Havmg in mind the past inconveniences the attending florists have had to contend with in re-
ceiving mail and answering same, also for a meeting place where their wants and messages
could be left, with proper attention given them— we have decided to arrange for all these pur-
poses RIGHT AT THE SHOW. You can leave your address at home c/o The NEI-
DINGER SERVICE BUREAU, CONVENTION HALL, PHILADELPHIA, PA.
All teleg^ariis, mail or any other business you may care to transact shall be attended to in
a prompt and satisfactory manner.
This Bureau has been established for the convenience of all attending florists, whether cus-
tomer or no customer, as our aim is to make the stay in Philadelphia of every florist as pleas-
ant as possible, and one long to be remembered as the one show where every comfort and
convenience was afforded them.
Trust you will make full use of this FREE SERVICE BUREAU while in our city and
that on your return you will always remember the courtesy and attention given you in our city.

also meet with a good s^e.
Carnations have been firmer, but are
softening in price this week. With
many growers off crop and the dark
weather, the supply has not been heavy.
Sweet peas are of fine quality. The
Spencers easily bring double the price
of the grandifloras, but some growers
claim that the latter pay much better
in midwinter, as they bloom so much
more freely. Single violets will finish
in about ten days, but the doubles will
linger until May. Their price has
varied but little of late. Good lily of
the valley is bringing excellent prices.

There were 120 present at the meet-
ing of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club March 21. The invitation by the
members of the W. W. Edgar Co., of
Waverley, that the club hold its field
day with them April 8, was accepted.
The club voted to make fifty reserva-
tions for the trip to the sweet pea show
at Bar Harbor, Me., in July, the voy-
age to be made by water.
The exhibits for the evening included
fine Streptosolen JamesOnii, by William
Thatcher, of Brookline; Celosia Golden
Spray, by James Methven, of Readville,
awarded a report of merit; Primula
malacoides rosea, by the F. H. Lemon
Co., of Eichmond, Ind.; Darwin tulips,
by Duncan Finlayson.
The report of the club's banquet
showed a good balajice on hand, which
was voted a nucleus fund for the picnic.
William H. Judd read an interesting
and exhaustive paper on "Desirable
Trees and Shrubs; Month by Month."
The committee appointed to draw up
resolutions on the death of Albert Roper
consists of Peter Fisher, William Nichol-
son and S. J. Goddard.

ing a house 25x60, for gardenias. They

spikes of Schilleriana and amabilis.

several degrees below were recorded
here March 18, and the snow at the
time of writing is deeper than at any
time during the winter.
Peirce Bros., of Waltham, who» used
to be the largest growers of lilies for
Easter in this section, are not growing
any this season. The largest part of
their range is devoted to roses and
they expect to add a house 50x300 this
season. D'Arenberg does particularly
well with them; also, Ophelia, Eallamey
Queen and Mile. Cecile Brunner.
Patrick Welch reports the cut flower
business as being good. He is getting
large shipments of roses and reports
a splendid call, especially for medium
grades. His valley is exceptionally
fine.
The T. J. Grey Co. reports mail-order
business extremely heavy. The men
have been obliged to work evenings to
keep abreast of orders. Counter trade,
owing to the severe weather, has been
lighter than usual, but is now im-
proving.
Edward Bingham, of Dedham, con-
tinues to bring in superior double and
single violets. He was successful in
capturing first prizes in each class at
the exhibition in Horticultural hall last
week.
Charles Walter, of North Stoughton,
is shipping in a splendid lot of Christ-
mas Pink sweet peas and Golden Spur
narcissi.
At Penn's some baskets of sweet
peas, with Coelogyne cristata on the
handles, were an attractive window fea-
ture. General business continues re-
markably good.
T. J. Benwell says that the A. H.
Hews Co., which he represents, has had
an unprecedentedly busy season. The
greatest trouble has been in making
deliveries, owing to the deep snow and
railroad embargoes.
EUery Briggs, of Dighton, is sending
in fine lots of winter Spencer sweet
peas; also callas and single violets.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
Lancaster, Pa., will have a special
day at the National Flower Show, for
100 members of the Lancaster County
Florists' Club, headed by President
Harry Schroyer, expect to attend in a
body,_ according to Albert M. Herr,
who is boosting the trip.
H. D, Rohrer, of Lancaster, possibly
will make an exhibit of his famous
myosotis at the National Flower Show,
also some exquisite new colors in a
trial lot of Zvolanek's sweet peas. A
fine lot of calceolarias and cinerarias
was noted.
E. P. Hostetter, of Manheim, Pa.,
will show Sweet Pea Rose Queen, a
prize-winner in this locality. He also
has a pure white selection of Primula
Forbesi, which is believed to be the
finest in commerce.
Fred Frank, of Reading, Pa., will
exhibit a batch of Primula obconica,
of his own selection, as a sample of
high cultivation. Mr, Frank says it
is the result of soil preparation.
J. L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg, Pa., will
show a group of verbenas of sixty va-
rieties. Sales of this popular bedder
were more than 250,000 plants last year,
William Ahlers, of Bloomsburg, will
exhibit Killarneys, on which he ex-
pects to secure some prizes.
E. J. Le Due, of Danville, Pa., will
have a fine display of his well grown
stock in the carnation section.
The Benjamin Dorrance Greenhouses,
of Dorranceton, Pa,, probably will be
represented at the National Flower
Show by an exhibit of roses, especially
Radiance and Hoosier Beauty, which
are giving great satisfaction. Rich-
mond has been dropped entirely. Mar-
ket returns have been gratifying dur-
ing the entire season, a strong con-
trast to that of last year, Mr. Dor-
rance is under the sunny skies in Flor-
ida. Miss Dorrance had a severe at-
tack of the grip.
John Welsh Young, of Upsal Station,
Philadelphia, invited the writer to ac-
company him to Enfield, the home of
that beautiful rose, Lady Alice Stanley.
Phil" explained that, for several rea-
sons, he used the Pennsylvania railroad
in preference to an automobile. The
attention shown him on the train
caused me to think that he is much
"*»interested in that immense corporation.
Some six years ago, in rambling
through the attractive valley, an es-
tate of sixteen acres was observed for
sale, and it struck "Phil" that, while
it meant a small mountain of respon-
sibility to assume, the site for a green-
house range was ideal. In quick order
the purchase was made. There is a
range of houses, each 35x300^ with per-
fect surroundings, and a model resi-
dence for the foreman, Clarence Upton,
who is justly proud of his charge,
"Phil" specializes in roses. My Mary-

The Market.
There was considerable activity
shown in the market last week. The
demand, though large, did not consume
the large quantity of flowers coming
in daily. Prices were lowered in order
to move the stock. Lent does not seem
to affect the florists any; in fact, sev-
eral report excellent trade in cut flow-
ers and plants. There was quite a de-
mand for light-colored stock, owing to
many large funeral orders. Sweet peas
were a glut in the market last week.
The extra fancy grade held up in price,
but the greater bulk are short-stemmed
and are sold in thousand lots as low as
15 cents per hundred. Violets, too, are
arriving in large quantities. Eoses are
coming in freely. Prices, excepting on
the extra fancy grades, have been low-
ered. The same may be said of carna-
tions. The white varieties were high
in price, while colored stock went beg-
ging. Von Sions and all varieties of
jonquils are abundant. Lilies, callas,
valley and snapdragons hold their own.
Smilax is scarce, but other greens are
plentiful.
Various Notes.
Jules Bourdet, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the spring flower
show, called a meeting of the chairmen
of the general committees March 16.
Those who responded to the call were
W. A. Kowe, finance; Adolph Jaenicke,
CUDC BROSXO.

eorted him through th© various grow-
ing establishments. He was much im-
pressed with the headway made by our
growers in handling sweet peas.
August Mirring, of East St. Louis,
111., has many fine blooming plants. He
will add about 10,000 feet of glass to
his range this summer. He reports a
splendid business this season.
Albert Senger, on Lexington avenue,
has extra fine quality blooming plants,
which will be in right for Easter sales.
He reports that this season is the best
he has had since he started business.
A. F. Longren, representing the
Burlington Willow Ware Shops, Bur-
lington, la., last week showed their line
of baskets at the Jefferson hotel.
Lechner Bros., who have offices in
the Caxton building, Third and Olive
streets, have quite a number of lily
bulbs in cold storage, which will come
in handy for late orders. This firm
has done remarkably well. Extra good
quality bulbs and right prices have
brought double business this season.
Florists in all parts of the city made
attractive window displays for St.
Patrick's day. Downtown florists re-
port a good demand for green carna-
tions. Shamrocks in pots had a better
sale this year than last.

representing Schloss Bros., New York,
were with us last week.
The "Blue Flower," published by
Penn, the Florist, of Boston, has made
a big impression on those in the local
trade who were fortunate enough to re-
ceive a copy each month.
The volume of mail orders coming in
at the various seed houses should indi-
cate an early business. The cold
weather and snow last week stopped
activity for a few days.
St. Patrick 's day could not pass with-
out Paddy Patton creating some excite-
ment in ibe wholesale district. He ap-
peared on the morning of March 17
with a green straw hat, which, by
evening, was slightly disfigured but still
in the ring.
Local nurserymen are hoping the
grouaid wi^ open up sufficiently to
allow them to dig shrubs and trees, so
as to start filling the many advance or-
ders. They say the last few snows gave
abundance of moisture for lifting.
The opening of the German-Amer-
ican Bank in its new quarters in the
Missouri Athletic Club building, March
20, created some good business for the
florists. Nearly all florists in the city
had a design or two for the opening.
Among these were Fred C. Weber, M. S.
Newman, Grimm & Gorly, Diemer
Floral Co., F. W. Bruenig, F. H. Weber,
G. Waldbart, Young's, Ayres and the
Eiessen Floral Co.
A visit to the A. S. Cerny place, at
Van Buren and Woodbine avenues, in
company with W. C. Smith, was a real
treat. Here we found everything in

first-class shape. Here we saw those
fine Ophelias, Killarneys and Russells
that the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. handles. A bench of gladioli that
will soon produce a lot of fine flowering
spikes was seen. Mr. Cerny recently
purchased several hundred additional
feet of ground, which will give him an
excellent opportunity to build one of
the largest greenhouse ranges in Kirk-
wood. A visit also was made to the
greenhouses of W. A. Bowe, who is
noted for growing fine bulbous stock,
carnations and sweet peas. At Mr.
Rowe's new place, a few blocks away,
carnations are being planted. A 300-
foot house will be built here this
summer.
The big window display of the St.
Louis Seed Co., consisting of garden
tools, seeds, goldfishes and chicks, is a
great attraction at Washington avenue

Snow storms and a temperature of 4
degrees below zero March 18 was the
weather record of last week. Notwith-
standing St. Patrick's day and its se-
ductive "emerald" carnations, sweet
peas, lilies, roses and tulips, the quan-
tity of unsold stock of every kind car-
ried over Saturday evening was far
from satisfactory to the wholesalers.
Fortunately, shipments of roses have
been light and these were really
the steadying force that held the mar-
ket and saved the situation. American
Beauties are few, but prices are low.
The best of them sold at $40 per hun-
dred and Hadley commanded the same
prices. Beauties will have to look to
their laurels in the future, or be dis-
tanced by their latest rival. Almost
every other variety of roses is lower
in price than last week. The same
conditions prevail as to carnations.
The top price for white and novelties
is $3 per hundred and so on down to
$10 per thousand for the short-stemmed
or imperfect ones. Shipments are in-
creasing. The best orchids, cattleyas,

have advanced to 40 cents. A few ex-
tras touched 50 cents " Saturday. The
inferior and smaller varieties sold as
low as 15 cents each.
Lilies are quite abundant, but there
are few of the higher grade, and $8
per hundred seems to be the top price
at present for all but the selects. Thou-
sands sold as low as $5 per hundred.
Valley, especially the short-stemmed
stock, is abundant. The price ranges
from $1 to $3 per hundred. Gardenias
are abundant and prices lower. From
$2 down to 50 cents per dozen are the
quotations. There are more tulips than
the market needs and prices are ex-
tremely low. Daffodils and narcissi are
here in large quantities, as well as
callas and daisies. Freesias are becom-
ing fewer. There are altogether too
many sweet peas, there being no sale
for most of them. The Spencers only
are worth while. There were more than
100 boxes of violets on hand Saturday
afternoon. The quality was good, but
the price was low; 25 cents per hundred
was the high mark, and the imperfect
stock sold as low as $1 a thousand. The
daily shipments of spring flowers of all
kinds, pansies, forget-me-nots, lilac, etc.,
continue.
Various Notes.

event and everything promises a bril-

Notwithstanding zero weather and
snow-covered gardens on every side of
New York, the plant auctions opened
their spring season this week with good
attendance and the prices obtained were
better than expected.
For the Randolph Film Co., of Chi-
cago, featuring Billy Burke in a mov-
ing picture play that had as its chief
feature an elaborate conservatory scene,
Woodrow & Marketos had the contract,
which included 300 large kentias in its
decoration. It is the finest setting of
its kind the movies have ever staged.
Hitchings & Co. have completed a
large house for J. B. Coombs, of Hart-
ford, who is adding to his big plant one
house yearly. The Hitchings people
had just completed a house for Albert
Roper, of Tewksbury, Mass., whose un-
timely death so lately has been re-
corded. A large range is being built
for H. P. Davidson, at Glen Cove,
where Daniel Coughlin is superintend-
ent; also three houses for J. G. Tamm,
of Astoria.
The Kervan Co. now has over 30,000
cubic feet devoted to cold storage in
its two stores.
There must have been a quarter mil-
lion shamrocks sold this month, the
Trepel stores alone distributing over
50,000. J. J. Coan used a small fancy
basket with the pots that added greatly
to their decorative value.
The Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont., is
sending daily consignments of roses and
valley to Gunther Bros. The variety
Canadian Queen is well liked here.
President Anton Schultheis, of the
Growers' Cut Flower Co., reports 4
degrees below zero at his College Point
establishment March 17, the lowest
March temperature ever known there.
Committees are meeting every Mon-
day, at the Breslin, to complete the
details for the flower show which will
open April 5. Secretary Young and
Manager Herrington are busy on it
all the time and a success even greater
than that of last year seems assured.
J. K. Allen has fully recovered from
his recent illness.
John Miesem and A. J. Guttman have
contributed many flowers to the Ger-
man bazaar at Madison Square Garden
and are in daily attendance.
The presidents' alumni of the Flo-
rists' Club will enjoy its second re-
union and banquet on the afternoon of
April 10, the date of the club's next
meeting.

ISO-horsepower boilers will be installed
and the latest improved vacuum steam
system. These are to be carnation
houses and the enterprise will involve

raided the town. Mr. Ghilds, who was
on the train from California on the
morning of the attack, described the
situation, in part, as follows: "Our
train was approaching Columbus when
we heard the firing and saw the smoke
from the burning village. The driver
brought the train to a stop and we
waited in the coaches, not knowing
what would happen and fearing the
worst. There was no gun of any kind
on the train so far as we could learn.
We had been somewhat fearful of a
raid while passing through that coun-
try and we did not know at that time
that the raid was being conducted by
Villa. After a while we saw the bandits
in full flight and when we finally pulled
into Columbus I saw at least fifty
bodies lying about."
AMHERST, MASS.
Students' Annual Trip to Boston.
Twelve of the students of floriculture
at the Massachuetts Agricultural Col-
lege, accompanied by Prof. Nehrling
and A. S. Thurston, recently made the
annual observation trip to Boston and
vicinity. Three days were spent in
visiting the various commercial ranges,
private estates, stores and markets. At
all places the party was received cour-
teously and cordially, and, consequently,
the trip could not help but be inspira-
tional as well as educational. Due to
the inconveniences caused by a heavy
fall of snow, the party was unable to
visit all the establishments they had
planned t6 visit. The following places
were visited: Waban Eose Conserva-
tories, of Natick; J. T. Butterworth, of
Framingham; S. J. Goddard, of Fram-
ingham; Faulkner Farm, W. N. Craig,
of Brookline; Weld Garden, Duncan

Fanners' Week Lectures.
The series of floricultural lectures
held at the college in conjunction with
the Farmers' week program proved to
be the most interesting ever given. The
lectures began with a talk by F. E.
Palmer, of Brookline, on "Selection
and Care of House Plants." The sub-
ject was handled in an interesting and
professional way, the information being
a result of years of experience. Follow-
ing this was a lecture by Prof. F. A.
Waugh^ of the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural CJoUege, on "Fashions in Plants,"
in which he spoke of the historical side
of gardening and the changes which
took place from time to time in the use

of garden plants. The program for the
afternoon was concluded with a talk on
"Plant Propagation," by H. E. Down-
er, of the Smith College Botanical Gar-
dens, of Northampton. The subject was
well handled by Mr. Downer in a tech-
nical way and in it was brought out
many personal experiences.
The program was continued the next
day, March 15, the opening talk being
given by Maurice Fuld, of New York,
on the subject of "Commercial Possi-
bilities of Herbaceous Perennials," in
which he spoke of the business side of
propagating and selling the stock. The
next subject was "Minor Crops of the
Florist, " by G. H. Sinclair, of Holyoke,
which proved to be exceedingly instruc-
tive. Following this hour. Dr. P. J.
Anderson gave an instructive talk on
"Diseases of Floricultural Plants." In
the afternoon Robert Pyle, of the Con-
ard & Jones Co., of West Grove, Pa.,
gave a fine lecture on "Roses at Home
and Abroad," the lecture being illus-
trated by many lantern slides. The pro-
gram was concluded by a question box,
which was conducted by Prof. Nehr-
ling. Many of the speakers remained
to assist in answering the questions.
A good attendance was recorded for
the lectures, considering the fact that
at that time the country was hit by one
of the worst snow storms of years. In
addition to the lectures, the department
had an educational exhibit in the build-
ing and a display of spring-flowering
plants in the greenhouses, both of which
attracted considerable attention. At
the request of the students, Maurice
Fuld gave a special lecture in which he
spoke of business methods and how to
interest the public. A. S. Thurston.

Blanket of Violets* Valley and Adlaotum Made by Mrs. Alma C. Lehmann, San Jose» Cal.
PAU. OF VIOLETS AND VALLEY.
In making the pall shown in the illus-
tration on this page, violets and lilies
of the valley were the flowers used, and
liberal quantities of adiantum and
smilax were included. Lily of the valley
chiffon forms the large bows, and the
streamers were tied with lavender baby
cords. The piece was made at the store
of Mrs. Alma C. Lehmann, 61 East
Santa Clara street, San Jose, Cal.
LOS ANQELBS.
The Iilarket.
The passing of a good deal of the
bulbous stock has left a sort of hiatus,
but there is ample stock to go around
in other lines. The indoor flowers are
good. Roses have not suffered from
the heat to any extent. There is a
good general demand for carnations,
and, as usual, white ones cleaned up
well for dyeing for St. Patrick's day.
While all true flower lovers must de-
plore this absurd custom, the proba-
bility is that if the green carnations
and daffodils were not worn, some other
custom equally ridiculous and of no
compensating value to the florist would
take its place, so we shall probably
have to ' ' let 'er ride. ' ' Green dye ran
out early in the day in several places.
The beautiful Delphinium Belladonna
is again making a show in the windows;
the delicate, pale blue of this fin© her-
baceous plant always makes a big bid
for popularity. Shrub branches and
fruit blossoms have been unusually fine
this year and have held out well. Be-
sides the cut branches, pretty, well flow-
ered little specimens of Bechtel's crab,
English hawthorn, Japanese quince,
double-flowered almonds and other
forced shrubs have made a tasteful dis-
play. Unfortunately, nearly if not quite
all of this class of stock will be over
long before Easter. Lilies will in some
cases also bo over, but in all prob-
ability there will be enough to go
around. Ehododendrons are appearing
already and it will need quite cool
treatment to hold the usual Easter
kinds for the date.
Various Notes.
of
Calling at the establishment
Charles Brazee, at Wilmington, I was
a little late for the hyacinths, but in
time to see a patch of many thousands
of the beautiful pinK Fabiola, which is
a great favorite of Mr. Brazee 's. The
day's cut of daffodils included about
3,000 exquisite Sir Watkin, which is
always cut here before it comes to its
full color, finishing in the water before
shipping. Emperor is another of the
popular kinds, many thousands of this
being grown. Tulips are not as exten-
sively grown here as formerly, but there
is a good showing of the Darwin types.
A splendid type of statice is grown here
in many of the most popular colors.
Notwithstanding that he is in the rush
of cutting, the whole place is in fine
condition and reflects great credit on
this well known and experienced grow-
er. Most of the immense cut here is
handled by the California Cut Flower
& Evergreen Co., of this city.
Since centralizing its efforts at the
Montebello ranch, the H. N. Gage Co.
has made gp'eat strides in the growing

The Market.
The flower market is in rather poor
shape. Since the Mardi Gras celebra-
tion social activity has subsided no-
ticeably. Funeral work is less active
and the fortnight of rather warm
weather brought out enormous quan-
tities of flowers of all seasonable vari-
eties. There was a little extra demand
for St. Patrick's day, but that failed
to cause much improvement in prices,
being limited largely to greens and
white carnations for dyeing, the dyed
stock being sold in liberal quantities.
A good deal of green-dyed poeticus
also was disposed of. Of course, sham-
rocks in small pots were strong sellers.
A large cut of maidenhair ferns was
moved and small dish ferns were popu-
lar, Boston ferns also being stimulated
a little. Asparagus is still somewhat
scarce. A notable new offering for
the week was peonies, some good ones
having appeared. There is quite an
abundance of cut lilac, as well as some
potted shrubs in bloom.
A large cut of good sweet peas is ap-
pearing, but has hard competition with
bulbous stock. Some fine anemones
and ranunculi are seen in the stores
and there is a large cut of poeticus and
the like. Freesias also are in fair sup-
ply. Emperor and Empress daffodils
are about gone, but some later varieties
are still to come, and there are more
than plenty. Darwin tulips are show-
ing up well, and are fairly popular.
Violets are keeping up, and there are
a few good lots of Marie Louise. "Wild
flowers of many kinds are a strong fea-
ture, such as poppies, buttercups, mis-
sion bells, wild iris, pansies, etc. Some
statice is appearing.
The cut of roses is increasing rapidly
and prices are easing off, ordinary stock
being slow to move. Baby roses are
about the strongest item. The supply
of Easter lilies is rather excessive,
though there has been a fair demand.
Orchids of all kinds are coming in less
freely, but more are expectfed soon, and
there are plenty of gardenias. There
is a little fine valley, which is much
sought after. Rhododendrons, rambler
roses and primulas are the principal
features in potted stock.

Co., of Reno, Nev., is spending a few
weeks visiting his old friends in San
Francisco and arranging for shipments
of stock and supplies. He has built up
a nice business at Reno and is having
a good season. He has built some green-
houses and now grows a good deal of
his own stock, having had extensive
growing experience in this vicinity.
Motrbni's flower shop, on Fillmore
street, is making a feature of wild
flowers. Mr. Motroni says business with
him has kept up well so far.
Emile Serveau, of Fillmore street,
near Sacramento, went back to work
last week after being ill for about six
weeks with the grip and rheumatism.
He savs things have slowed down quite
perceptibly during the last few days.
He says callas will not be as plentiful
as usual for Easter on account of the
January frost, but that will help other

SEATTI£, WASH.
The Market.
Business is good, with a fair demand
for all seasonable flowers. Carnations,
owing to the dull weather, are not ar-
riving in profusion and there is good
sale for those offered. Roses are by no
means plentiful. There is a short sup-
ply of daffodils and prices remain good
for them. A small quantity of local
violets is offered and these sell readily.
Hyacinths and tulips are plentiful; or-
chids and valley are sufficient to sup-
ply the demand. Pot plants now are
moving nicely and there is more variety
than has been the case in recent weeks.
The growers of lilies are beginning
to warm their houses to hasten the
tardy Easter lily buds.
The seedsmen are unusually busy for
this time of the year, and indications
point to increased business in all their
lines. There is a good demand for
nursery stock of all kinds and, although
business in the fall was above the nor-
mal, there is more being sold this spring
than for years. The rose shows held
during the last three years have in-
creased the demand for roses, especially
for the newer kinds, and to do business
nowadays one must keep the newest
varieties.

ance in the houses of Buxton & Quil-

The Market.
Favorable weather last week more
than equalized the effect of Lent on the
sale of flowers. The number of public
events was decreased, but more flowers
were worn and used in home affairs.
Several large funerals cleaned up the
surplus stock. The demand for potted
stock was normal. Outdoor daffodils
were offered in large quantities and
retailed at prices ranging from 25 cents
to 50 cents per dozen. Potted bulbous
stock still is shown and sells fairly
well. Some splendid azaleas are of-
fered.
Home-grown violets are in oversupply
and several growers let their crops go
to waste. The quality of the carnation
cut has improved and the supply is nor-
mal. The cut of Richmond and Killar-
ney roses has increased, while that of
Ophelia is below normal. St. Patrick's
day brought the usual demand for tint-
ed flowers and cleaned up everything
that could be used for that purpose.
Several stores made special displays of
these flowers and of shamrocks. As-
paragus still is decidedly scarce.

Considering the situation as regards
supply, the prices of seeds have been held

One of the difficulties the importers of

this season will be lack of transportation,
Japanese boats alone being now avail-

Anton C. Zvolanek, of Lompoc, Cal.,

The California seed growers especially,
but also those of other sections, are pretty
well booked up with all the business
they can handle for 1916, and in a gen-
eral way they have been able to name
their own contract prices.
Onion seed amounting to 39,654
pounds, valued at $40,828, was invoiced
at the American consulate at Teneriffe,
Canary Islands, for the United States
during 1915, compared with 39,490
pounds, valued at $43,293, for 1914.
J. Kaufmann, who styles himself
' * Authorized growers ' contracting
agent," has an office at 550 East Sixty-
second street, Chicago, representing
growers of onion sets in the district south
of that city, where the onion set acre-
age has increased notably of recent years.
So unfavorable has the weather been
that certain rather large seed houses are
said to be from thirty to forty per cent
behind the usual March business to date.
It means a grand rush when the ground
opens, with the probability of one of the
shortest spring seasons on record. A
short season never is a big season.
It is reported that Sutton & Sons, of
Reading, England, who have branches in
New York and San Francisco, are about
to open a large seed depot in Calcutta,
which will act as a center for the distri-
bution of seeds to every part of India.
Hitherto the greater part of the seeds
used there have been supplied by German
seedsmen.
Charles Dickinson, of the Albert
Dickinson Co., was one of the first to
lend assistance to the development of
air craft and is president of the Aero
Club of Illinois. When the United
States army was ordered into Mexico
last week Mr. Dickinson telegraphed
to Washington an offer of the free use
of the 640-acre field of the club at Chi-
cago for an aviation training camp for
military fliers.

ONIONS IN TEXAS.
The Texas onion crop of 1916 is esti-
mated to cover 10,657 acres, as com-
pared with 9,343 acres in 1915, an in-
crease of fourteen per cent. The condi-
tion of the crop March 1 is estimated
as 65.6 per cent of normal, which fore-
easts a yield of about 230 bushels per
acre, or a total production of 5,328 cars
of 460 bushels each. In 1915 the ship-
ments amounted to about 4,607 cars.
The low condition of 65.6 is account-
ed for by two freezes and the general
prevalence of the thrips, which is espe-
cially severe in the Laredo district.
It is believed, however, that the rav-
ages of this insect have been checked
by the energetic efforts of the growers
in spraying their crops.
Much California seed has been used
this year and there are those who think
it will displace the Tenerifife article.
The season is about three weeks earlier
than in 1915.

SEED GSOWINa IN ENQIJ^ND.
The seed trade in America has
formed the opinion that, if the war
continues, chief reliance ■ must here-
after be placed on England as the
source of seed supply outside the
United States. It is felt that France
and Germany will grow few seeds for
export so long as the war lasts and
that the embargo by Holland will shut
off most of the seeds from that coun-
try. Consequently, special interest at-
taches to conditions among British
seed growers, as illustrated by the fol-
lowing extract from a letter received by
a leading British seed firm from one
of its growers:
We hope to send the remainder of your seeds
on order the latter part of this week. We re-
gret the delay in forwarding, but It is due to
shortage of labor. We take the opportunity of
drawing your attention to the fact that the po-
sition we are In with regard to labor is serious.

SNAPDRAGON NEWS
By using the several varieties of snapdragon which we grow, you
can do just what we have done the past year— cut blooms every
day of every month. No matter what season, there will be one or
more of our several varieties in bloom. This is a remarkable record
for snapdragon, as the average variety does not flower until April.
We have had an abundance of white, yellow, garnet and pink, and
since February 15 have been cutting gorgeous spikes of our lovely,
matchless Silver Queen.
Right here we "rise to say" that for richness, for beauty, for habit
of growth, for productiveness, from cuttings, there is no snap-
dragon on earth to match SILVER QUEEN. Our stock of it was
greatly reduced last summer by heavy rains, but we are "coming
'fwdc»!'. aad offer a limited number of rooted cuttings at $10.00
per ^00-^ready next month.
Seed of our regular stahd-by varieties should be freely sown at
OBce. Price of seed of our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for
$2,301 7 for $6.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Phelp's White, Yellow,
Buxton and Fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Plants of each
pi tb«se varieties^ $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. Free directions.

will be almost impossible for the grow-
ers to get their stocks of annuals and
biennials planted out this season. We,
of course, realize that our first busi-
ness as a nation is to win the war, and
that in comparison with this great ob-
ject, nothing else really counts; but
at the same time we cannot forget that
the seed-growing industry is one of na-
tional -importance, and contributes di-
rectly and indirectly to a large extent
to the food supply of the country. Any
blow to this industry is an injury to our
fpod supply, and to the' agricultural in-
dustry which it is most desirable to
foster. Also, we must face the fact
that any shortage in supply of really
necessary seeds will have to be met
from abroad, which will further in-
crease the drain upon our resources and
depress our credit all over the world.
We think the case of the seed grower
is one which should have the careful
consideration • of the authorities, and
that exemption should be granted, not

IN HOLLAND BULB FIELDS.
Word comes from Dutch bulb grow-
ers to their canvassers seeking orders
here that the weather in February was
unusually mild, with the result that
the winter covering was stripped from
the fields at an unusually early date
and an early flowering season is ex-
pected, witli its possibility of early
ripening, digging, curing and shipping.
None of the bulb fields has suffered
from the floods, although a considerable
area- had been planted in one of the
polders, but being on the high level
side the damage caused by the water
is likely to be slight and of no conse-
quence for the general crop. The trade
in gladiolus bulbs has come to a stop,
but the quantities left are small, and
in many lines a shortage, with a sharp
rise in prices, is expected.
SCANDAL INSEED CORN FAMILY.
The following play on the names of
varieties of corn is by an employee of
the Western Seed & Irrigation Co., Fre-
mont, Neb.:
"When Longfellow went down the
Genesee Valley to look after the Gold
Mine, he found the Country Gentleman
out with the Angel of Midnight along
about the Peep O'Day. He notified the
King of the Earliest, also the Minnesota
King, who asked the Howling Mob to
call up the Black Mexican and say:
'Ye Smutnose, go make an investiga-
tion of all the seed corn.' He did, and
found O. S. Crosby with the Pride of
the North enjoying life at the Wiscon-
sin Carnival. They were stopping at
Henderson 's Metropolitan. O. S.
Crosby wore a little White Cap. The
Pride of the North was dressed in
King Philip Red.
"He found C. S. Crosby out in Da-
kota following a Zigzag trail trying to
locate a Silver Mine. Also found the
Golden Beauty dressed in Calico trying
to get the Australian to give up his

^'THE FINEST IN EUROPE
OR ANERICA/'says Importer
Mr. John Gerard, importer of high-
grade seeds, New Britain, Conn., in
one of his last letters to us, says :
"The seeds I received from you have
proven to be the finest strains of asters
I ever bought, either in Europe or in
America. My trade is with private
gardeners, who demand the highest
grade of seeds. I have received many
letters of praise from the estates and
gardeners."
We also have many such letters from
florists in various sections of the
United States.

WHAT DO BUYERS WANT?
In its 1916 spring catalogue the Elm
City Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn.,
has departed somewhat from the usual
style of nursery catalogues. Aside from
a few pages devoted to general instruc-
tions and special lists, the catalogue
is an out-and-out price list of popular
common names, sizes and prices, with-
out illustrations.
"This catalogue," says President
Ernest F. Coe, ' ' is intended largely for
those who know what they desire to
purchase and are seeking information
as to varieties, sizes, prices, etc., of
what we have for sale, arranged in
compact and convenient form for ref-
erence.
"The question is, do any number of
purchasers of nursery stock who place
substantial orders depend to any con-
siderable extent on elaborate catalogue
descriptions and illustrations of stand-
ard stock when placing their orders?
Are they not more generally guided by
what they have actually seen, have read
about in current magazines and books,
or is recommended by friends?"
DAMAGES FOE WEONG VARIETY.
When it appears that a nurseryman
has delivered fruit trees of a different
variety from that ordered by a cus-
tomer, and that the variance was not
discovered until after the trees were
planted and commenced to bear fruit,
the damages recoverable by the buyer
are to be measured by the difference
between the value the orchard would
have possessed had the trees been of
the variety represented and the actual
value of the orchard at the time the
variance in variety was discovered.
This rule was laid down the other
day by the appellate division of the
New York Supreme court (157 New
York Supplement 150). The buyer, a
farmer, desiring to set out young trees

fered for this purpose, on an objection
made by the nurseryman's counsel. The
rule for measuring the farmer's dam-
ages adopted by the trial court was the
difference between the value of the
trees at the commencement of the suit
and the value they would have had if
they had been Baldwin apple trees, and
the farmers gave evidence as to this
diflPerence in value. When the trial re-
sulted in a judgment in the farmer's
favor the nurseryman appealed to the
appellate division, which affirmed the
judgment, saying:
"We think the measure of the buy-
er's damages is the difference between
the value of the orchard as it was and
as it would have been had the trees
been Baldwin apple trees, and that the
buyer should have been allowed to give
the testimony offered on that theory;

rule adopted by the trial judge has led

PITTSBUBQH.
The Market.
Pittsburgh still is in the lap of prin-
ter and the ground is nicely covered
with snow. Stock of all kinds seems to
have shortened in supply and one would
scarcely know that Lent is here. Beau-
ties are coming in more plentifully and
are of much better quality than any
since Christmas. Bulbous stock last
week seemed to be finishing, and, as
a result, the wholesale men cleaned
up nicely, except on violets. The street
men are the principal outlet for violets
and it has been too cold for them to
work. The retailers all seem to be
fairly busy and have nothing unusual
to report.
Various Notes.
Tuesday, March 14, a business meet-
ing of the Horticultural Society was
held in the Annex hotel. Seasonable
flowers were shown and discussed, and
a number of new members were elected,
including T. P. Langhans and Oliver
Langhans, of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower
Co. James Stewart, foreman of the
Edgeworth estate, was made an active
member.
Harry Graves, formerly with the
Zicger Co., now is a resident of Cali-
fornia, going there to take a position
made vacant when Walter Garbert, an-
other Pittsburgh man, started in busi-
ness for himself. I understand that
they are both doing nicely.
Jack Frampton has left G. P. Weak-
len & Co. to take a position with the
Zieger Co., recently filled by Harry
Graves. Frank Smith, formerly of

ATLANTA, OA.
A severe hail storm visited Atlanta
March 7 and did great damage to glass
in all parts of the city and vicinity.
The hail was impartial and pelted every
range, whether large or small. The
small growers felt the misfortune more
severely than the large establishments,
even though they lost less glass. The
plants timed for Easter suffered prac-
tically no injury and Easter will find
everybody there with the goods, provi-
dence and hail permitting. As a cold
wave followed the storm, there was
some tall hustling done to replace the
broken glass. Prices on glass soared
immediately and the coal man came in
for his share of the fun.
All agreed that this business of being
targets for hailstones is not at all
pleasant, but everybody seemed to be
optimistic and faced the music with
good grace.
The Westview Floral Co. perhaps
suffered the most. This concern's loss
was estimated at about $1,500. Wach-
endorff Bros, lost 500 panes of glass,
and C. A. Britton is said to have lost
one-half of his glass. T. C. and J. C.
Coussey, Victor Lambert, W. A. Gres-
ham and C. A. Dahl reported consider-
able broken glass. The Alto-Vista Flo-
ral Co. had about 1,500 panes broken by
the storm. Mr. Witherspoon, who had
just finished a new house, lost one-third
of his glass.
Flowers are plentiful and business
is normal. Blooming plants sell readily
and we are expecting a big spring sea-
son. M, B. W.
J[T WE CORDIALLY INVITE ALL OUR FRIENDS who
^^ are coming to Philadelphia to the National Flower
Show, to be held March 25 to April 2, to be our visitors.
We will have an exhibit of our Craig Quality plant special-

nue, where a hearty welcome awaits you. We also hope
that you will arrange while in Philadelphia to visit our
greenhouses, at 49th and Market Streets, and our new
place, at Norwood, Delaware County, Pa. We think that
both places will well repay you for the time spent in
visiting them. Hoping to see all of our many friends in
Philadelphia during the show, and to be of service to our
visitors, we remain,

Tlie Market.
Trade is unusually heavy, with plenty
of stock in .most lines. Funeral work
has been plentiful and has been the
means of disposing of much stock.
Boses are good and are more plentiful
than for some time. Ophelia and Sun-
burst are becoming more plentiful and
are welcome, as they are always in
great demand, especially for corsages.
Eichmond, Killarney, Reid and Russell
are doing nicely. Beauties still are
scarce, with the demand on the increase.
Carnations are a trifle off crop at this
writing and on several occasions there
has been quite a scramble for them.
Bulbous stock is not so plentiful as
usual, and in most cases the receipts
are cleaned up nicely. Valley has been
scarce and the demand heavy at times.
Lilies are more plentiful and there has
been a good demand for them. Violets
and sweet peas are moving well in cor-
sages, of which there has been a great
run. Potted plants sell readily and
some good stock is to be had. Azaleas,
lilacs, primulas and cinerarias are the
offerings.
Various Notes.
The Livingston Seed Co. .reports
heavy business. This concern sold sev-
eral thousand daffodils and jonquils in
a special sale March 18.
The Munk Floral Co. is cutting some
extra fine roses, with a good sprinkling
of Sunburst.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is tak-
ing rose blooms from stock that will be
run all summer. The carnations are
off crop at present.
T. J. (Ludwig has had a lively trade
in baskets, at a special price, and re-
ports business more than good.
C. A. Roth is well pleased with the
returns at the greenhouses and says he
is ahead of the game, as he has no
high rent to pay.
S. S. Meyers, of Chicago, is moving

here. He h^ a place on East Main

[Our Specialty is
Grafted Roses
WE grow many other young plants for the shipping trade,
but "Grafted Roses " is the specialty. A visit to Crom-
well will prove to you that we can back up our offers
with stock that is of the highest quality. We are growing 700,000
this season, for we know that this year we will see much
replanting that was not done last year. A good part of this
quantity is already sold, and orders have been very gratifying.
If you are going to plant or replant, get in touch with us
now. Give us a chance to give you the best plants that can be
grown. Our prices are graded to suit the quantity, and the
quality graded to be above competition. Write us now, or, better

THE BEST RED CARNATION
RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT!
WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1916. It has never been beaten at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the
flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the En-
chantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the
1st of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
Booted cuttings now readj for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively to rooted cuttings.

TBI-CITIES.
The Market.
Last week was a good one in the
Tri-Cities. While there was a visible
increase in the quantity of blooms, they
cleaned up well at good prices. Carna-
tions, which looked as though there
would be a surplus, were disposed of
without any decided break in prices.
Bulbous stock is selling well, as are
potted plants, for which there seems
to be an ever-increasing demand. Sweet
peas are more abundant, but are mov-
ing well; so are violets. Freesias and
Paper Whites are in somewhat short
supply.
General business has been satisfac-
tory and funeral work has prevented
any surplus from accumulating, giving
a feeling of confidence.
Club Meeting.
The regular club meeting was held
at Ludwig Stapp 's place, in Rock Is-
land. The following officers were elect-
ed for the ensuing year: President,
'L. Stapp; vice-presidents, C. J. Rear-
don, H. Gaethje and Wm. Knees, Jr.;
secretary, Wm. Goos; financial secre-
tary, A. Andersen; treasurer, Wm.
Knees, Sr.; trustees, E. Patten, H. Bills
and W. C. Wilson.
The subject for discussion at the
next meeting, as announced by C. O. E.
Boehm, will be "Schizanthus Wise-
tonensis as a Commercial Plant." Mem-
bers will also be asked to give their
experience with Verbena venosa. The
meeting will be held at the residence of
William Knees, April 13.
Various Notes.
J. Staack reports that trade was un-
usually good last week.
Mrs. Forber, of Forber & .Bird, says
business has been decidedly better, with
better prices than those of a year ago.
The P. T. Walsh funeral brought so
heavy a demand for flowers of all kinds
as to tax the capacity of the Davenport
florists to the utmost. The large deal-
ers had many outside telegraph orders,
in addition to the home demand.
Miss M. A. Tiemey, of the Bills
Floral Co., disposed of 6,000 violets in
one day last week. W. G.

The Market.
The conditions of the market last
week were about the same as those of
the week previous, with one exception,
that there was more funeral work.
Stock is not too plentiful. Boses are
more plentiful and of better quality;
some exceptionally good Eussell, Bril-
liant, Ophelia and Milady roses are re-
ceived and they make quick sales. The
Killarneys are not so much in demand,
but there are none left over by eve-
ning. The carnations were short in
supply, but not so short as the week
previous. Lilies and bulbous stock of
all kinds continue to hold up the cut
flower market. There was less bulbous
stock grown this year than during any
of the last few years. Sweet peas
were not quite so plentiful as before.
Various Notes.
The W. L. Rock Flower Co. has its
greenhouses in tiptop shape. The men
are cutting daily about 4,000 carnations
and 2,000 roses, all of especially good
quality. The sweet peas are the best
they have ever cut, some having 18-
inch stems. This concern also has a fine
line of pot plants that will be ready
for the Easter trade. Mr. Rock has
gone to Philadelphia to attend the Na-
tional Flower Show.
August Luther supplied the Jones
Dry Goods Co. with 400 ferns for deco-
rations last week. He reports that fu-
neral work was exceedingly heavy last
week. His greenhouses are well filled
with spring bedding stock and bloom-
ing pot plants, all of good quality.
A. F. Barbe has started to build his
new range of houses. All will be of
the wide type and used for growing
roses. He is filling his old houses with
spring stock.
Samuel Murray h^g ijleft for Phila-
delphia. He is one of tie judges of the
National Flower Show. Mr. Murray has
a house of extra fine hydrangeas.
The trade regrets to hear of the sad
death of Mrs. Masson, the wife of
James B. Masaon.
T. J. Noll & Co. are receiving some
extraordinarily fine Eussell, Ophelia,
Milady and Brilliant roses. This con-
cern always seems to have a large sup-
ply of roses. W. J. B.

BUFFALO.
The Market.
Although the Lenten season is on,
there does not seem to be the falling
oflE in business which is generally ex-
pected. Beauties have made their ap-
pearance again in noticeable quantity,
for the first time in about four weeks.
Other roses continue about the same.
Ophelia and Sunburst seem to lead in
popularity, though Killarneys also meet
with a ready siale. White Killarney,
however, has a tendency to drag. Car-
nations are getting better in quality.
White carnations, as usual, were scarce
and sold at a good price for St.
Patrick's day. The supply of carna-
tions in general seems to be quite suf-
ficient.
Double violets are clearing daily, al-
though more have been sold in former
seasons than at present. Singles are
as scarce as ever. Jonquils and daffo-
dils are not so plentiful, but continue to
sell rapidly. Tulips also are in shorter
supply and there is no difficulty in
clearing them. There is an abundance
of freesia, but the demand is small.
Sweet peas seem to be the feature of
the market. The supply of valley and
orchids has not increased. Excellent
snapdragon is available. An accumu-
lation of Easter lilies is again experi-
enced, although many of them are
cleared at a good price for funeral
work. Miscellaneous flowers, such as
pansies, daisies, mignonette, Boman
hyacinths and calendulas, are equal to
requirements. Greens continue to hold
up along with the rest of the stock.

Sioux dty, la. — ^Fire recently de-
stroyed two sheds in the range of Will-
iam Eubank, near Biverside park. The
blaze started from hot ashes dumped
near the sheds. The fire undermined a
40-foot smokestack, causing it to fall
across a greenhouse, shattering glass
and damaging plants. The loss was
estimated at $1,200.

Greenhouse Heating.
^^^^^^^^^ ■ ly . I .. I I - .— ,., I.I, I ,^
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 Heview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, tiie best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
Held of its adaptation.
WILL NEED A TAT.T.EB CHIMNEY.
At present we are using a 17-horse-
power boiler of locomotive type to heat
a greenhouse 30x80 with hot water. On
damp days we have considerable trouble
in keeping the water hot, as the fire
does not burn well. In cold weather
there is no trouble, as the fire then
burns briskly. We believe the trouble
is due to the chimney, which is brick,
2%x3 bricks in width and about twen-
ty-five feet in height. Next summer
we expect to erect another house, 30x
130, and we believe we shall have to
use steam for heating, but it is certain
that we must have more draft in order
to make water boil in damp weather.
The chimney connection is 16-inch.
Would it be best to increase the
height of the present chimney. If so,
how much extra height will be needed?
Or would it be better to tear the old
chimney down and build a larger and
taller onet We want plenty of draft,
as we have no night fireman and we
are planning to use an automatic regu-
lator to control the steam pressure. We
have an electric alarm and attend to
the boiler when necessary. We can
find no tables containing information
on this subject and shall be glad to get
your advice. S. & S.^O.
Prom the description given we infer
that the chimney is 12x16 inches inside.
This should be ample for a 17-horse-
power boiler, carrying 2,500 square feet
of radiation, but we would prefer a
height of forty feet. This would add
sixty per cent to the draft and should
make it possible to heat both houses to
€0 degrees with hot water. We cannot
determine whether the present chimney
should be rebuilt or extended.

I wrote to you some time ago, stat-

in the main house and that the flow
was especially inadequate. Your an-
swer was exceedingly helpful, but I am
anxious to get a little more informa-
tion. As stated in my former inquiry,
I have a hot water heating system.
The main house, which is 17x65, con-
tains one 2-inch flow, connected with
twelve 1*4 -inch returns, six on each
side of the house. I also have a lean-
to house, 10x17, and a glass-covered
room, 10x18, which is located between
the greenhouse and the barn. You sug-
gested that I substitute two 2i^-inch
flows for the present single 2-inch flow.
Should the flow pipes be lower at
the front of the house than at the
rear end of the house, where the boiler
is? Can I still use the present 2-inch
flow and add a 2V^-inch or 3-inch pipe,
running it up six feet above the boiler,
connecting it to the present flow and
then running it over to the other purlin
plate? In that case, would the 2i^-inch
or 3-inch flow rob the 2-inch flowf
When I install another flow, as you
advise, what should then be the size
of the main return where it enters the
boilert When the houses are properly
piped, will my 6-section Lord & Burn-
ham boiler have sufficient capacity, or
should I procure a larger onef
T. M. H.— O.
While it makes comparatively little
difference, we prefer to give the pipes
a slight fall from the boiler, or toward
the front of the house in this case, as
at present. We would use two 2%-
inch flow pipes, as suggested, since a
2-inch flow pipe is not large enough to

supply the return pipes on one side of
the house. However, it will answer if
two of the returns on that side are
connected with a 3-inch pipe on the
other side of the house. We would
suggest the use of two 2^ -inch flows,
and the present 2-inch flow may then
be used to bring up the radiation in
the glass-covered room.
As stated previously, the main re-
turns should be of the same size, or
capacity, as the main flow pipes, and
the coils should be connected with the
boiler by means of two 2i^-inch re-
turns, or, if there is but one opening,
they should be united to a 3-inch main
return. If the boiler has a grate con-
taining approximately four square feet,
it should heat the houses easily.
SIZE OF HOUSE NOT STATED.
I am writing for some information in
regard to heating a new carnation
house with hot water. My present
carnation houses have no heating pipes
under the benches, but I can gain sev-
eral feet of space in the new house by
putting the pipes under the carnation
benches. Do carnations do as well
with bottom heat as without itt How
many 2-inch flows will be needed over-
head and how many li4-inch returns

off G. B. W.— O.
We like to have at least one-half of
the radiation under the benches in a
carnation house, but care must be taken
in watering to soak the soil sufficiently
to prevent the drying out of the bot-
toms of the beds.
There is nothing in the letter of
G. B. W. which gives any idea of the
size of the house; hence we cannot
give a definite answer to the question
regarding the number of pipes. For a
house twenty feet in width and not to
exceed 100 feet in length, 2-inch pipe
may be used for the flows, although
we would prefer to use 2i/^-inch flows
and would use 2-inch pipe for the re-
turns. In houses less than fifty feet
long, 1%-inch returns may be used.
We would not care to use 1^-inch re-
turns in houses more than fifty feet in
length, unless the systems are under
pressure. For a house 20x50, with two
feet of glass in each wall, we would
use for carnations three 2-inch flow
pipes and either seven 2-inch or nine
1%-inch returns, all of which may be
under the benches.
Just how many 2-inch pipes can be
supplied by a 3-inch main will depend
largely upon the length of the pipes.
For the best results, we would not at-

We should like to have your opinion
on the piping of a greenhouse for gen-
eral plants. We shall use hot water
heat. A rough outline of the house is
attached. Aa you see, it is 14x36
and runs east and west, with the boiler
at the northwest corner. The north
side is weather-boarded and is five feet
high. The south side contains twenty-
four inches of glass above eighteen
inches of weather boards. The east
end is weather-boarded to a height of
three feet; the balance is glass. The
west end is against the potting shed,
which contains the boiler. It is de-
sired to keep the boiler on the ground
level, and thus the opening for the re-
turn pipe would be just six inches
above the surface of the ground.

pipe two feet below the ridge to the
father end of the house and then, after
dropping down to the level of the
plates, connect the flow pipe to nine
1%-inch return pipes in two coils, by
means of two 2-inch pipes. Run these
coils to the corners of the house and
then along the side walls, or under the
side benches, to the boiler end of the
house, connecting each coil with the
boiler by means of a 2-inch pipe.
Use five return pipes in the coil on
the side where there is glass in the
wall and four returns in the other coil.
Keep the coils well up on the walls, as
this tends to improve the circulation.
If it is possible to do so, we would
recommend dropping the boiler about
eighteen inches below the level of the
ground. Give the flow pipe a slight
drop and connect the expansion tank
with the highest point in the system.

Horticiiltural Society Meeting.
V At the meeting of the Newport Horti-
cultural Society last week it was an-
nounced that the dates for the midsum-
mer flower show of the society would
be changed. The dates are to be ad-
vanced one week, to August 17, 18 and
19, so as not to conflict with the an-
nual meeting of the American Gladiolus
Society, which will be held in Boston.
Bruce Butterton read an interesting
paper on "The Boxwood and Its Ene-
mies," in which he spoke of some of
the pests that infest boxwood. A la-
dies' night is being arranged and a
committee to take charge of the affair
was appointed, consisting of William
Smith, William Mackay, Andrew
Meikle, William Gray and Bruce But-
terton. Two lectures are to be given
before the club during the next two
months. March 28 Prof. Burt L. Hart-
well, of Kingston, will speak on "How
Plants Feed. ' ' April 25, E. H. Wheeler,
of Jamaica Plain, Mass., will lecture
on "Flowers and Gardens of Japan."
James Bond exhibited a vase of
tulips, Glory of Haarlem, which was
awarded a cultural certificate by the
society.

Business was quite brisk last week.
We are still having real winter weather;
several inches of snow fell today, March

ity. There is a good supply of plants.
Everyone is anticipating a big Easter,
judging from the orders already placed
with the plant specialists.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free use of dirt bands for the grow-
ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new BEADY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not how
cheap, but how good, is our motto.

SCRANTON, PA.
Tlie BCarket.
Business decreased the first part of
the week, but all the florists were found
busy the second half. The usual Lenten
dullness is prevailing. There has been
a good demand for funeral work and
flowers for the sick. Violets are plen-
tiful and are sold at 75 cents and $1
per hundred. Carnations still are
scarce. Eoses of all varieties were
plentiful and sold at 75 cents to $4
per dozen. Bicolor Victoria narcissi,
tulips and hyacinths are seen every-
where. The supply of green carnations
for St. Patrick's day was far short of
the demand. Never in the history of
the trade was the call so large for
green carnations.
Club Meeting.
The monthly meeting of the Scranton
Florists' Club was held at the Baldwin
store, March 12. There were about
twenty in attendance. President Ray
MacDonald called the meeting to order
at 8:30. The committee on exhibits re-
ported that the following had taken
space for the show: Baldwin, Florist,
T. B. McClintock, A. Schultheis, R. Mac-
Donald, E. L. Besancon & Co., the New
York Floral Co., J. W. Beagle, G. R.
Clark, the West Side Floral Co., F. W.
Mackey, Daniel Webster, J. Wade, of
Carbondale, Pa.; B. F. Dorrance. of
Kingston, Pa.; Ira G. Marvin, Wilkes-
Barre, Pa., the M. Rice Co., of Phila-
delphia. The committee to see private
greenhouse owners reported th£.t all
are going to exhibit.
The society people of Scranton are
going to have a tea room at the show,
the proceeds to go to charity. This is
going to be a good drawing card.
The publicity committee reported that
it had made arrangements with the
daily papers to carry a full-page adver-
tisement for the three days of the show.
The price of trade tickets for the show
was fixed at 12% cents and admis-
sion tickets at 25 cents each. George
Greyhammer was admitted to member-
ship. The next meeting will be held
April 2, and it is hoped that everyone
will attend.
Various Notes.
M. L. Ruch, manager for Baldwin,
has severed his connection and accepted
a position as manager of the Susque-
hanna Floral Co., of Binghamton, N. Y.
He has the best wishes of all for suc-
cess.
A. L. Besancon & Co. report a busy
month in decorations. They had a
tasteful window display of cut flowers
and bulbous stock last week.
About thirty of the florists are plan-
ning to attend the National Flower
Show at Philadelphia.
John Rovatsos, of the New York
Floral Co., has returned from a busi-
ness trip to Philadelphia.
F. J. M.
Fulton, Mo. — J. W» Mclntire, who
has been in the greenhouse business
here since 1879, expects to tear down
his range of glass, consisting of 7,000
feet, and move it near his ice plant.
He plans to erect two houses next sum-
mer, each 30x100. February 17 was a
sort of reunion day at the Mclntire
Slace. William Kirkland, of Rapid
ity, S. D., and Fred A. Hallows, of
Bowling Green, Mo., two of Mclntire 's
former growers, made a call that day.

The Florists' Review
Mabch 23, 1916.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Business was quite satisfactory for
St. Patrick 's day. There was plenty of
stock and white carnations were in big
demand. Local business was dull, how-
ever, but shipping orders more than
made up the deficit occasioned by the
local stagnancy. The lack of business
in the city is rather unusual and is at-
tributed to a great extent to the mam-
moth bazaar held recently for the Ger-
man and Polish war sufferers. The
public purchased freely and the trade
donated liberally. People seem to be
retrenching in an effort to recuperate
from their extravagance at the bazaar.
Just now there seems to be an over-
supply of roses. The stock is being
cleaned up fairly well, but quite an im-
provement is to be desired. The qual-
ity is good and some excellent stock is
being moved at fair prices. Carnations
are in fine shape and there are more
than enough to go around. There is
but little surplus of good stock, how-
ever, which is bringing good prices.
The weaker stock is hard to move,
even at bargain prices.
"VVatertown violets remain in plenti-
ful supply and some exceptionally fine
singles are to be had at fair prices.
There is plenty of sweet peas, but,
while select stock is bringing good re-
turns, the poorer stock is not moving
as satisfactorily as it should. Valley
is steadily becoming better and the
supply is sufficient for all needs. Or-
chids are rather scarce at the present
time, but the demand is not heavy and
little difficulty is experienced in filling
orders. Smilax and greens are not
plentiful and it is hard to fill orders
satisfactorily. There is much bulbous
stock in fine shape and bringing good
prices. There is no room for complaint
this year on that score.
Various Notes,
Martin Christiansen, who formerly
was associated with Henry Koegler,
operating the East Side Floral Co., has
opened a florists' establishment at Park
street and Murray avenue. Mr. Chris-
tiansen says that business has been
good so far and that he has no com-
plaint to make. Mr. Koegler remains
at the old stand, at 468 Farwell avenue.
Harold Baumgarten, while coming
down to the store March 13 with his
mother in their machine, was arrested
for speeding and had to disgorge $26.58
in court the next morning. F. H. Hol-
ton also was stopped the same morning,
but succeeded in placating the minion
of the law and getting away with it.
Diplomacy surely pays — sometimes.

PROVIDENCE.
Tbe Market.
So far the month of March has been
the worst as to weather conditions.
The temperature has been within a
dozen degrees of zero nearly every
night. There has been an unusual short-
age of good stock and the demand has
been rather heavier than usual, owing
largely to funerals of prominent persons.
Everybody is looking for a good Easter
business and the local growers are mak-
ing big promises.
Various Notes.
John Davis, of Little Compton, was
a visitor to this city and Boston last
week.
Mrs. Elizabeth O'Connor is arrang-
ing for many changes at her range of
greenhouses.
Charles Hunt, of Burnside street, has
planned an extended automobile trip
through to Chicago, as soon as settled
weather comes.
Joseph E. Koppelman has sold the
farm section of his property at Oak-
lawn, retaining the greenhouses and sev-
eral acres of land.
J. H. Cushing, of the Quidniek
Greenhouses, Quidniek, reports a large-
ly increased business during the last
few months. He is taking on more
assistants.
Olney H. Williams and John Burke
have formed a partnership and will
conduct a wholesale business in cut
flowers, plants and supplies, on Clem-
ence street.
Charles Smith visited Boston last
week, looking for stock for Easter.
Ex-president Thomas Hope, of the
Bhode Island Horticultural Society, has
the sympathy of a large circle of
friends in the recent death of Mrs.
Hope.
The Shepard Co. had an especially
heavy run on shamrocks in miniature
Sots, at 5 and 9 cents each, St. Patrick 's
ay.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Howard Pepper, of
the Melrose Eose Gardens, are spending
several weeks in Vermont.
Miss Ellen O'Connor reported several
large funeral orders last week.
Max Villers has returned from a
pleasure trip to New York and vicinity.
Johnston Bros, have been unusually
busy with funeral orders. They are
already making heavy bookings for
Easter delivery.
F. Macrae & Sons have a fine look-
ing lot of lilies for Easter. Fewer of
these flowers are being grown here-
abouts this year than during the last
several years. W. H. M.

The Market.
Brisk business has characterized the
last week. Stock has increased, owing
to the mild weather and several days
of sunshine. Bulbous stock in great
variety is conspicuous on the market.
White roses in all lengths are plentiful.
Orchids, gardenias and sweet peas are
abundant and of excellent quality.
These are nearly all from local green-
houses, as few flowers are shipped into
this city. Violets are becoming scarce.
Lilies continue in excellent supply and
are used extensively for funeral work,
which has been heavy during the last
week. Green carnations for St.
Patrick's day sold at good prices and
in large quantities. Shamrocks also
sold well.
Many florists are holding special
sales of cut flowers and ferns during
the Lenten season, in order to stimulate
trade in the retail stores. The windows
of the flower stores present an attrac-
tive appearance, witii their combina-
tions of new spring baskets and spring
flowers, besides the great variety of
blooming plants, which are selling well.
There is a supply of fine pansy plants
on the market. Lilacs are over, but
there are many antirrhinums, English
daisies and mignonette.
Various Notes.
Herman H. Leitz, of the New Haven
Floral Co., New Haven, Ind., was a
visitor to this city last week, looking
over the stock of the largest growers.
Mr. Leitz ht^d just returned from a
week's trip * to Chicago, where he vis-
ited Poehlmann Bros. Co. and several
other large concerns. His firm is busy
planting the young rose stock in the
two new houses, 28x232. Ophelia, Kil-
lamey and Russell will be the varieties
grown this year.
Miss Margaret Vesey has just been
elected president of the Duodecimo
Club, a prominent literary club of this
city. Some fine Cattleya labiata are
being cut at the Vesey greenhouses;
also gardenias and some splendid
Shawyer roses.
Miss Marguerite Flick, of the Flick
Floral Co., went to Kendallville, Ind.,
last week with an elaborate funeral
order and decoration, which included
several large baskets of Easter lilies
and Richmond and Shawyer roses.
George Pandell, a Greek florist who
has been in business for several years
on the north side of Calhoun street, has
just been made manager of the Fort
Wayne Flower Shop, which started
business February 1. This is a cut-rate
store and sells shipped flowers exclu-
sively, advertising on a large scale in
the daily papers.

Your Ideas and Ours
No doubt your experience has been the means of giving you a few ideas
about the way in which you would like your greenhouse built, and would
like to see them worked out. Our many years' experience has taught us many
things about greenhouse construction and what not to do. We will be glad to hear
from you and about your ideas, and will do our best to incorporate those that are
practical in our plans for you. There never was a better time to build than right now.

the best returns from them. You want to consider the
durability, the convenience, the efficiency, and
last but not least, the cost of the houses. Not one of
these points is overlooked in our construction. Write for our sketches
and estimates.

The Market.
The supply of stock is hardly up to
that of the corresponding time in past
years, as far as quantity is concerned.
However, it is meeting with an active
demand that is keeping the market
pretty thoroughly cleaned up. Shipping
trade is good. With the exception of
two days last week, when openings to6k
up every available rose, the supply of
roses was equal to the demand. Carna-
tions, on the contrary, are short of
actual needs. Easter lilies are not
nearly so plentiful as they were. The
cut of callas and rubrums is sufficient
for present needs. Sweet peas are plen-
tiful and find a good market. Daffodils
and* jonquils are in good supply, but
tulips and Dutch hyacinths may be had
only in limited quantities. Lily of
the valley continues to be plentiful.
There are fair consignments of violets,
orchids and snapdragons. With the
exception of smilax, greens are plenti-
ful.
Various Notes.
Among the Cincinnatians who will
attend the National Flower Show are
C. E. Critchell, J. A. Peterson, E. Wit-
terstaetter, Henry Shepard and Richard
G. Kootz.
C. E. Critchell has been having a
good call for baskets for Easter.
The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been receiving large lots of excel-
lent valley for more than a month.

The Market.
The Lenten scare is about over and
the retailers are booking a large num-
ber of good orders for decorations for
teas, luncheons and parties, although in
society these events are known by
other names, as charity affairs, etc.
Single violets are less plentiful and
higher in price. Despite this, large
quantities are being sold on the streets
at prices with which the storekeepers
cannot compete. Lily of the valley
continues to be of poor quality, but is
bringing $5 per hundred. The demand
for American Beauty roses has been
good and the price on these now is
from $4 to $7.50 per dozen. There was
a heavy run on white carnations last
week for the green carnation business.
Various Notes.
O. A. C. Oehmler, of 1329 G street,
northwest, complained to the police last
week that his store was broken into
and his desk rifled. The thief entered
the place through the cellar and made
off with about $20.
Charles E. Pierce, of Bowen road,
passed away March 14. Further details
are given in the obituary column.
Plans are being made locally for the
observance of Mothers' day, Sunday,
May 14, following the conclusion of
Babies' week. C. L. L.

FIBEOUS-EOOTED BEGONIAS.
I would like to ask about the propa-
gation of fibrous-rooted begonias. I have
had trouble and know of others who
have had similar experiences. Most of
the cuttings run up like whips, while
some branch and make nice plants. We
have tried breaking them back, but
they do not grow at all after that. My
experience has been with the red Ver-
non. E. S.— N. y.
Most of the fibrous-rooted begonias
propagate easily. Vernon is one of the
easiest, but to secure the best type of
cuttings you should head back your
stock plants some time before you need
the cuttings. You will then get more
succulent cuttings, which will root
with ease and make better plants than
those obtained from flowering shoots.
The plants of this begonia produced
from cuttings are not so well habited
as seedlings. Since they are grown
with such ease in this way, why not try
this plan in preference to rooting cut-
tings?
Begonia incarnata should be cut back
and rested a little; then, if watered, it
will give a crop of nice, juicy cuttings.
Begonia Glory of Cincinnati and Gloire
de Lorraine come best from leaf cut-
tings, but if headed back a nice crop
of shoots will start from near the base.
The flowering wood is of no value. B.
Gloire de Chatelaine is of easy propa-
gation. B, semperflorens rubra, B. Haa-
geana, B. ScharflSana and B. nitida
will root with ease in any warm propa-
gating bench. Be sure tne sand is por-
ous, in which case a watering each
morning can be given until roots are
forming; then reduce the supply and
pot up the plants in a light compost
before the roots are too long and the
wood becomes hard. C. W.
PLANNING A GEEENHOUSE SITE.
I notice that from time to time The
Eeview is asked to criticise plans and
arrangements of greenhouses. I am
enclosing two rough sketches, one of
which is intended to give a ■ general
idea of our site and its surroundings,
while the other sketch shows the pro-
posed position of the greenhouses with
reference to the residence, barn, service
buildings, orchard and other features
of the grounds. Please note the re-
marks accompanying the sketches and
judge accordingly, for if these plans
are radically at fault I wish to correct
them before it is too late.
You will observe that we are sit-
uated on the south bank of a lake,
that we have close railroad facilities
south of our grounds, and that on the
north and west sides we are protected
by good windbreaks, composed of large
willow trees and a 12-year-old orchard.
In the sketches" the service buildings
are located with a view to the possi-
bility of running a spur track, some-
time in the future, southward along
the east side of the grounds, for the
hauling of coal, etc. I wish to ar-
range the north side of the grounds as
attractively as possible, as the front
approach to the place.
H. D. L.— Minn.
The sketches show two greenhouses,
27x100 and 28%xl00, running east and
west, with a barn across the west end
and with the workshop, potting room
and garage at the east end. In one
sketch the office is shown at the north-
east corner of the north house, while
in the other sketch the office and a
semicircular palm room are at the
middle of the north side of the north
house. As nearly as can be determined
without knowing more about the sur-
roundings, the general arrangement
suggested will be satisfactory, although
the placing of the palm room at the
middle of the north side of the north
greenhouse might complicate matters,
both in joining the houses and in con-
necting the heating ^stems.
Another way of arranging the houses
would be to run them north and south,
with the service rooms at the north end.
The barn could be detached and located
to the north and east of the houses.
The office could be at the west end of
the potting room, and when other
houses are built to the west, a semi-
circular or rectangular palm house could
be built at the north end of these
houses.

NATIONAL SHOW SETS
NEW HIGH RECORD
Philadelphia, with the fourth 8. A. F. exhibition in progress this
week, is making a new mark for national shows in America. The quality
of the stock exhibited never has been surpassed and the quantity of it is so
great as to overtax the capacity of the largesi hall in the city.
^tTtrc^rnfiME
HE great
progress in
exhibitign in
T progress in Philadelphia
this week has demon-
strated, clearly enough so
that all may see, that the
problem confronting the
S. A. F. in preparing for
the Fifth National Flower
Show is not one of ex-
hibits, of attendance or of
balancing financial accounts, but of
adequate facilities for holding such
large exhibitions as national shows in
America now have become. It may be
said, of course, that not outside the
three big eastern cities, Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, which in turn
have had the show in spring, is such an
exhibition possible, but it is the fact
that from the beginning the national
flower shows have each shown an ad-
vance from every point of view, so
that they noW quite eclipse every other
trade event in the year in which they
are held. It certainly is so in Phila-
delphia this week.
The show that opened in Philadel-
phia March 25 was the result of two
years of work on the part of a body of
men of unusual ability and filled with
the determination to spare no effort to
make a new mark in flower show an-
nals in America. They are succeeding
to such a degree that it was found
Convention hall is entirely inadequate.
Although it is the largest in Philadel-
phia, the building is filled so full that
it is safe to say the show would create
a better impression if each exhibit
could have been allowed twice as much
space. The opportunity for artistic ar-
rangement was lacking; the most per-
fect specimens of blooming plants were
of necessity packed together until their
individuality was lost, and even at that
the aisle space for the accommodation
of those who pay the admission fee is
much less than it should be.
Loss of Two Sundays.
Perhaps the exceptional sucfeess the
show is scoring is in part due to a
series of fortunate circumstances that
cannot be relied on for the future. At
any rate, everything has been in favor
of the exhibition except the city police
administration. The show was opened
on Saturday afternoon for the purpose
of including Sunday, March 26, and it
was planned to keep it open to include
Sunday, April 2, mindful of the splen-
did Sunday crowds obtained in other
cities. But these plans were made
without consultation with the authori-
ties. At the last moment the opening
of the doors on the Sabbath was for-
bidden by the police because of a city
ordinance forbidding entertainments
charging an admission fee on Sunday.
The order came so late that news of it
could not be generally disseminated.
Sunday was a rarely beautiful spring
day and in the afternoon many thou-
sands thronged to the hall, 50-cent piece
in hand, only to be turned away by
the police. Only members of the
S. A. F. were admitted. Chairman
Asmus places the loss in revenue at
$5,000 for the day. Others put it
higher.
Efficient Management.
Convention hall is nearly a half-
hour's ride by street car from the cen-
ter of the city, but any handicap there-
by imposed seems to have been fully
overcome by the splendid publicity the
show has had and is having. The ad-
vertising end was placed in the hands
of W. F. Therkildson, publicity man of
the Burpee organization, and the result
has been an exploitation the like of
which no flower show ever has known.
Hundreds of columns of text and
whole pages of pictures have appeared
in the newspapers and it is safe to say
every person in Philadelphia who can
read is aware the flower show is in
town this week. Of course the at-
tendance is large, the hall being well
filled from the moment the doors were
opened. A. Herrington, of Madison,
N. J., is superintendent, assisted by
Guy W. French and Joseph Beaver, of
Chicago. They had everything ready
at the opening hour, when addresses
were made by several prominent Phila-
delphians interested in floriculture and

Cut Roses.
The cut roses in tiiis exhibition con-
stitute the most wonderful showing
ever seen in Americii. This part of the
X.ational Flower Show is in charge of
the American Rose Society and the dis-
play is tiie largest in the annals of
that organization. There wer(> se\enty-
four (dasses for commercial growei's and
all but three (lasses tilled, the total
number of entries running to ITfi.
But this rose show is a record for
(piality as wtdl as foi- si/.e; the «»qual
of these roses never has l»eeii seen. So
magnificent is the (juality that, as one
exhibitor w.as heard to remark, one was
"mighty fortunate to gi^t second in
siudi company.'' Surely it was a sur-
prise to more than one man who, know-
ing the unusu.al merit of his own roses,
was unaware of :in (^(pial adwance on
the part of his comiK'titors and came to
the show expecting to make a killing.

Palms and Foliage Plants.
Perhaps the palms and foliage plants
suffer more than any other class of ex-
hibits from the overcrowding of the
hall; these specimens and groups need
space if their perfection is to stand
revealed. W. A. Manda is the princi-
pal exhibitor in the commercial classes,
but the Kobert Craig Co. is well repre-
sented by its crotons, drac«enas, ficus
and phoenix. Each of these exhibitors
has an excellent group.
Among the private gardeners who
brought their finest palms and foliage
plants were J. H. Dodd, E. A. Schmidt,
Wm. Bobertson, Wm. Kleinhelnz,
Thomas Long and the Bodine estate.
From the number and size of the speci-
mens it would seem that they must have
virtually emptied their conservatories
for the occasion and the plants were in
all cases perfect examples of the gar-
deners' art.

Ferns and Selaginellas.
The ferna are an especially strong
feature of the show. In the commercial
classes J. A. Peterson & Sons and W. A.
Manda show splendidly finished Cibo-
tium Schiedei, and F. R. Pierson is
well represented with nephrolepis va-
rieties. The private gardeners have
brought their best. J. T, Whittaker
and Thomas Long have wonderfully
perfect adiantums and T. W. Logan has
a cibotium that possibly is the largest
in America. Wm. Robertson has a
splendid example of the staghorn fern
and the specimen brought by J. Goodier
is scarcely less perfect.
Th awards in the fern classes were:

Bulbs in Flower.
The bulbous stock is almost entirely
by the gardeners. The notable excep-
tion is the Michell Dutch garden, which
was awarded a gold medal and a cash
prize of $150. The Robert Craig Co.
has a fine show of lilies.
But there were seventy-three classes
for bulbous stock open only to private
gardeners and nearly all filled with
from two to half a dozen entries. In
spite of the complaints that are heard
of the poor flowering quality of many
of the bulbs this season, all these ex-
hibits were fine. Nearly all classes
were for named varieties, so that the
following list of awards will show
what each gardener had for his best:

delphia. Pa., first.

Plants in Flower.
The two principal exhibitors of
blooming plants were the Robert Craig
Co., which had twenty-four entries in
the show, taking twenty-four premiums,
and Thomas Roland, whose acacias were
the marvel of the exhibition. The Craig
entries were especially meritorious in
bougainvilleas, hydrangeas and rhodo-
dendrons. Julius Roehrs Co. also had
fine rhododendrons. W. A. Manda
showed anthuriums, Azalea mollis and
a good group. Knight & Struck Co. had
a group of small hard-wooded plants
arranged for effect and Wm. Sim's
pansies had many admirers.
Among the gardeners' exhibits there
were many fine things, not the least of
which were Wm. Vert's hybrid amaryl-
lises. Wm. Klelnheinz deserves special
mention for acacias, large azaleas,
forced lilacs, rhododendrons and his
group. J. H. Dodd brought excellent
anthuriums, gardenias, lilacs, primulas
and pansies. Wm. Robertson was the
largest exhibitor in these classes and
was specially strong with his cyclamens,
hydrangeas and rhododendrons, his
Pink Pearl being exceptionally well
flowered. Other entries that are
worthy special comment are David
Archer's genistas, W. L. Ellis' primu-
las and standard heliotrope, John
Gribble's schizanthus, R. Abenerltz 's
spiraea, John Dunn's schizanthus and

Musbrooms, best plate — Mrs. Chas. Wheeler,

The Orchids.
The schedule for orchid plants was
divided into two sections, one for com-
mercial growers and one for gardeners,
but the display deserves to be treated
as a whole. Meritorious as were the
specimen plants entered in the various
classes as for the appended prize list,
the groups were the special feature.
Largest , of these was that of Louis
Burk, gardener for C. Wurst, of Olney.
This was staged in the English sty4e,
against a 10-foot rockery wall. Com-
posed chiefly of cattleyas, it was one
of the exhibits that in any previous
show would have been considered a
milestone. Squarely in front of the
main entrance a pyramidal group em-
bracing a large number of species was
staged by J. Goodier, gardener for C. G.
Roebling, Trenton, N. J.
Of the commercial men's orchid
groups that of Julius Boehrs Co.,

The Camatioiis.

charge of the carnation classes, which

flowers were given a place on the aisle
next the roses and, taken as a whole,
the display was of fine quality, al-

two vases of Carnation Belle Wash-
burn, which traveled well and stood up
several days.
John Savage, of Gwynedd, Pa.,
showed vases of a fine silver pink
snapdragon.
Henry A. Dreer, Inc., staged a table
of a new fern, described by its name,
which is Cyrtomium Eochfordianum
compactum.
F. H. Lemon & Co., Eichmond, Ind.,
staged an excellent group of Primula
malacoides rosea in several sizes, which
attracted much attention because of
its bright rose-colored flowers.
The Lectures.
The lectures in connection with the
National Flower Show are proving an
even greater success than was expect-
ed. There are two series, one for the
evenings, the other for the afternoons,
arranged by J. Otto Thilow, and the
large audiences and the close atten-
tion given the speakers indicate the
interest gardening topics hold for Phil-
adelphians.
The evening course in full is:
March 25 — "Home Grounds," Illustrated, by
W. N. Rudd, of Morgan Park, 111.
March 27 — "What Science Has Done for Flori-
culture," Illustrated, by Prof. E. A. White, of
Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.
March 28 — "Roses," Illustrated, by Robert
Pyle, of West Grove, Pa.
March 29 — "Civics for Home and Municipal-
ity," Illustrated, by J. Horace McFarland, presi-
dent of American Civic Association.
March 30 — "Flowers from Snow to Snow,"
Illustrated, by J. Otto Thilow, of Philadelphia,
under the auspices of the Garden Clubs of
America.
March 31 — "Agricultural Errploratlon in
ChlnA," Illustrated, by Frank N. Meyer, De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
April 1— "Gladioli," illustrated, by Arthur
Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y.
The afternoon series in full is:
March 27 — "Flower Arrangement and Color
Combination," by Mar Sehllng, of New York.
March 28 — "Rock Gardens," illustrated, by
Richard Rothe, of Glenside, Pa.
March 2»— "School Gardening," Illustrated, by
Miss Caro Miller, bureau of education, Phila-
delphia.
March 30— "Dahlias," illustrated, by Richard
Vincent, Jr., president of the American Dahlia
Society.
April 1 — "Bulbs for Summer Bloom," by E. I.
Wilde, State College, Pa.
Following the afternoon talks and
lectures a moving picture of the Port-
land rose carnival is given.
Of course the lectures are planned
for amateurs rather than for the trade
visitors, but a goodly representation of
the trade is noticed each time.

meeting has the largest attendance in
the history of the S. A. F., for the full
elected and appointed board as present

directors and there is a large volume
of detail to be put through before the
board can adjourn. The plans for the
thirty-second annual convention the
third week in August are being put
into shape.
STATE WORKERS GET TOGETHER.
At the call of W. N. Rudd, of Hli-
nois, a meeting was held at the Hotel
Walton, Philadelphia, Tuesday evening,
March 28, for the purpose of prelimi-
nary steps to bring the various state
floricultural experiment stations into an
organization that will tend to coordi-
nate their work. The meeting was at-
tended by representatives of the flori-
cultural experiment stations in Illinois,
New York, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and New Jersey, as well as
by a number of those in the trade
who are interested in the work being
(lone at these institutions. The plan
is to form an organization which will
assist in making the work of each in-
stitution available to all, to prevent
duplication and to develop the full pos-
sibilities that lie in such funds and
equipment as are available.
CASTLE GOULD CELOSIAS.
I want to grow some Celosia Pride
of Castle Gould and any information
in regard to growing them will be ap-
preciated. Can they be grown in
benches for cut flowers, or would you
grow them in pots? L. L. — Mo.
sown in a shallow pan about May 1,
and the seedlings are transplanted into
flats and later kept potted along, using
at all times a light but rich soil, they
will make splendid plants for flower-
ing from September until November.
They will succeed in any ordinary
greenhouse through the summer, but
as the nights become cooler give them
a minimum temperature of 55 to 58
degrees. Splendid plants may be had
in 8-inch pots. Never let the plants
become potbound before giving them
the final shift. Feed with liquid ma-
nure when they are well established in
the flowering pots. C. W.
AN OVERDOSE OF SULPHUR.
Perhaps a word of caution about the
use of sulphur on the steam pipes
might be of benefit to some of your
least experienced readers. I am quite
well convinced that one would better
go slowly with the application of sul-
phur in that way. My sweet peas were
affected with mildew and I, like an
ignoramus, gave four of the six heat-
ing pipes on each side of the house a
light painting with the stuflf, a little
more than the extent of the bed, and,
lo! I lost every blossom on the vines,
but the mildew is still "dewing"
business. F. G. — 111.
I have had no experience with
Celosia Pride of Castle Gould in
benches, but as a pot plant for late
summer or fall blooming it is excel-
lent. I have found that if seed is
You have overdone the sulphuring
business. Painting a single pipe on
each side would have proved ample.
Painting so many could not fail to ruin
the buds. If this has not killed the
mildew, spray with Fungine and care-
fully avoid drafts from the ventilators,
which are usually the cause of mildew.

I HE trade exhibits are be-
coming one of the impor-
tant features of the larger
flower shows in this country
and especially strong is the
showing made at Philadel-
phia this week. Indeed, the exhibition
is made possible only by the trade dis-
plays, the guarantors and the donors
of prizes, as the sale of much space
was an essential where so large an
expense was to be covered.
The trade's display, larger than at
either of the last three S. A. F. con-
ventions, is of mixed character, some
of the exhibitors appealing frankly to
florists and to none other, while some
seek the favor of the public. A few
play both ends against the middle by
taking orders from all comers, either
to be filled direct or through a florist.
The trade space is around the out-
side of the hall, under the balcony and
behind the stage. Many of the settings
are elaborate and the general character
of the exhibits is the best yet seen,
showing that in this respect as well
as others the trade is making progress.
In most cases quality and novelty have
been aimed at, rather than a large
showing.
The exhibitors are as follows:
Advance Co., Bichmond, Ind. — The
Advance ventilating machine and the
Advance line of greenhouse hardware,
. pipe fittings, etc., all nicely nickel-
plated for display purposes.

cipally conifers.

ishes and colors, featuring a new ma-
nila box now available in all standard

Battles' Vase Shop, Philadelphia. —
This is one of the branches of the busi-
ness of H. H. Battles, conducted as an
adjunct to his two flower stores. The
display includes some scores of vases,
no two alike in material, color, size,
shape or value; a vase to fit any flower,
place or purse.
Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. —
Because this house has made a specialty
of Japanese goods since Mr. Bayers-
dorfer's trip to Japan last summer, 600
square feet of space was taken for the
erection of a Japanese bamboo per-
gola, vine clad, in which to show bas-
kets of Japanese and American make,
vases, bird cages, wedding accessories
and other Easter and spring novelties.

ensis and a large collection of annuals
in pots, plants flowered in the green-
house for this purpose.

hibitor has a wire device for holding
panes of glass in a variety of positions

line of lawn mowers of the various

Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y. — Gladi-
olus bulbs are the one thing this ex-
hibitor deals in and the display showed
samples of the bulbs of his newest and
best varieties.
Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia. — In
addition to a large number of entries
in the competitive classes, this exhibi-
tor had a large group of Easter pot
plants in the trade's display. It was
specially strong on dracsenas, but cro-
tons, roses, ferns, lilies and hydrangeas
all were of high quality.

Edwards Folding Box Co., Philadel-

delphia market has had the enterprise
to take space to show a vase of each
of the seven varieties of tobcs that are
grown, Shawyer, Ward, Sunburst, Kil-
larney, Maryland, Ophelia and Double
White Elillarney.
Florists' Telegraph Delivery, Detroit,
Mich. — A booth for the exploitation of
the quick delivery of fresh flowers at
distant places. Albert Poehelon and
W. F. Gude in charge.
Galloway Pottery Co., Philadelphia.
— This is a display of garden furniture
and the space also includes the pot
display of the Whilldin Pottery Co.,

Whilldin began the manufacture of our
present standard pots.
F. R. Grey Co., Philadelphia. — Gar-
den furniture.

group by this exhibitor included an
extremely well grown collection of hy-

at another place was devoted exclu-
sively to Asplenium Nidus-avis.

s^ AMONG THOSE PRESENT <;^
COMPILING a list of trade visitors
at a flower show is not the easiest
of occupations. Although a register is
kept, many who are entitled to do so
fail to inscribe their names on it.
Those who are not members of any
of the trade societies, and who there-
fdre have no claim to courtesies, are
not asked to register. With so large
an attendance of the public one fails to
meet some of the florists who give the
show only a day of their time. And
this National Flower Show lasts nine
days! The attendance of trade vis-
itors is expected to be even larger
toward the close of the show than it
was at the opening. But this list of
those from outside Philadelphia whose
presence was noted during the open-
ing days will serve to show the wide
interest the trade is taking in this
show:

AMEBICAX ROSE SOCIETY.

March 27, has made such excellent
progress this year that officers were
unanimously reelected, as follows:

Philadelphia.

terly, B. I.

Standard Grades.
The spirit of the meeting came into
activity when Harry O. May presented
the report of the committee on stand-
ardizing the grading of cut roses. The
report proposed the following official
standard:
AMERICAN BEAUTIES.
Name of Grade Length Stem
Specials 36 inches and over
Fancies 30 Inches and over
Extras 24 inches and over
No. 1 18 inches and over
"O. 2 12 incbefl and over
OTHER ROSES.
Name of Grade - Length Stem
Extra specials 30 Inches and over
Specials 24 Inches and over
Extras 18 inches and over
No. 1 14 inches and over
No. 2 10 inches and under
The aim of the committee is not only
to create a uniform standard but to
enable telegraphic and mail orders to
be briefly given and intelligently filled.
The report brought out a lively dis-
cussion and an earnest protest. W. H.
Elliott said there already is a standard
in general use in Boston that differs
from the proposed standard. It is based
on the Stearns Lumber Co. scale and
anyone can have one for the asking by
addressing that company. George Bur-
ton thought that extra special Beauties
of 48-inch stem or over should be recog-
nized. W. F. Gude opposed the stand-
ard as proposed.
The matter finally was referred back
to the committee for further considera-
tion.
Routine Business.
President S. S. Pennock presented his
annual address, dealing with the work
accomplished by the society and its
possibilities for the future. Secretary
Hammond presented a report for his
office, mentioning that it ia twelve years
since the society had met in Philadel-
phia. Treasurer Harry O. May re-
ported cash receipts of $2,501.20 for the
year, with disbursements of $1,453.28
and a cash balance of $1,047.92. In the
investment account there is $3,450.
J. Horace McFarland, of Harrisburg,
was elected an honorary member and
his work in editing the Rose Annual for
the society was highly praised.
It was decided to hold a meeting June
25 to visit the rose test gardens at
Cornell University and at Syracuse,
N. Y.
The date and place for the next an-
nual meeting were left to the executive
committee.

A gold medal and letter of apprecia-
tion was voted to Henry A. Dreer, Inc.,
for its wonderful rose gardens in Con-

George C. Thomas presented an out-
line of a plan perfected by Dr. Robert
Huey and himself for uniformity in
judging outdoor roses. Points to be
given to color, fragrance, form, shape,
size, quantity of bloom, stem and last-
ing qualities. Wallace R. Pierson
thought the plan in its present form
was not feasible. It was referred back
to the committee.
SECRETARY HAMMOND'S REPORT.
[The following Is the report of Secretary
Benjamin Hammond of the American Rose So-
ciety, read at the meeting held in connection
with the National Flower Show at Philadelphia,
March 25 to April 2, 1916.]
This is the seventeenth annual meet-
ing of the American Rose Society.
Twelve years have passed since this
society held an annual meeting in
Philadelphia, and the development of
the society during those twelve years
is evidenced by the wonderful exhibi-
tion at Convention hall. Since our last
visit to this city the society has met
four times at Boston, once each at
Washington, Chicago, Buffalo and De-
troit, and three times at New York,
Our membership varies from year to
year. Last year, 1915, we had the
pleasure to receive another life mem-
ber, namely, R. Witterstaetter. The
life membership fees help us to build
our permanent fund, which now reaches
the sum of $3,200. The annual mem-
bers who have paid for the year at this
date number 179, of which forty-seven
are associate members.
The Testing Gardens.
The test rose gardens, which began
at Hartford, Conn., now consist of a
garden at Washington, D. C, one at
Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., and
one at Minneapolis, Minn. These are
watched over by special committees
appointed by the society and certainly
have awakened much interest. The
bushes to be tested are being furnished
gratis by rose growers. Two lots were
sent from Europe, one by Kallen &
Lunnemann, of Boskoop, Holland, em-
bracing 168 plants in twenty-nine va-
rieties. These were sent to the Cornell
rose garden at Ithaca. Hugh Dickson,
Ltd., of Belfast, Ireland, sent ten each
of four varieties. These are for compe-
tition in the test gardens and were di-
vided, one-half going to Hartford,
Conn., the other half to tlie Washing-
ton gardens. The details of the results
at the rose gardens is presented in the
Rose Annual, as well as the awards
made.
Municipal rose gardens are being ad-
vocated in England. A letter from
England, under date of January 23,
came to me, saying, in part: "You
are far more progressive in America
as regards municipal rose gardens than
we are over here, and I shall be grati-
fied if you will send me details of any
public rose gardens established in
America." This writer is an amateur
and holds the championship both for
exhibition rosjfes and decoratives of all
England. Our amateur societies are
Mabch 30, 1916.

looking to the American Rose Society
for information and recognition. The
affiliation membership rate was first
placed at 10 cents each, but this sum
was not sufficient and has been ad-
vanced by the executive committee to
25 cents per member.
Tlie Bose Aimual.
In supporting the society there is a
lack of assistance from the men grow-
ing roses outdoors. At every show we
hold there is more or less expense and
the support of the society has been
mainly from the cut flower producers.
The broadening of the membership
of this society involves much detail
work, but one piece of good work that
has come to pass is the printing in
first-class style of the annual report of
the work of the society, in book form,
with complimentary essays. This pub-
lication, the Rose Annual, involved a
greater expense than the revenue of
the society warranted, but J. Horace
McFarland assumed the work and risk
of cost attending the same, and for
this service we certainly are indebted
to him. The proportional sum paid for
this work by the society was $200 and
postage; beyond this, all cost has been
assumed by the publishers.
For this spring's exhibition the num-
ber and A'alue of special prizes con-
tributed by individuals have never be-
fore been equaled. All this is clear
evidence that our society is forging
ahead and that our exhibitions and
meetings help to bring beauty to the
homes of all the people.
DATES FOB STABTING BULBS.
I wish to thank C. W. for the infor-
mation received on the forcing of
bulbs, but I did not make myself quite
clear in my former inquiry. What I
want to know especially is the earliest
date at which the bulbs referred to
can be made to flower. They are to
be planted outside next fall in flats,
covered with soil, and with some marsh
hay after the first good frost. Please
state the earliest possible date at which
they can be brought in and the length
of time required to flower them. The
varieties are such tulips as Murillo and
La Eeine, and such narcissi as Trumpet
major. Double Von Sion, Single Von
Sion, princeps, Sir Watkin, Golden
Spur, Victoria, Emperor, poeticus
ornatus and Barri conspicuus.
A. E.— R. I.
Arthur Herrlogton.
(Supertntendent of the Fourth National Flower Show.)
and poeticus ornatus four weeks from
start to flowering; Victoria, Barri con-
spicuus. Emperor and Double Von Sion,
five weeks; Murillo, six weeks. A good
deal depends on the temperature. The
tulips need drawing up in a warm, dark
case, but a place below the benches
usually suffices for the narcissi. Give
the tulips 60 degrees at night and the
narcissi 5 degrees less heat. Although
you can give all the same temperature,
the narcissi will lack in quality if grown
too warm. C. W.
growth if planted out each season than
if kept in pots, but carried-over plants
kept in pots and plunged outdoors will
force earlier than those planted out.
Give them full sun, but have a hose
convenient so that they can be freely
syringed, and watered, in addition,
when necessary. C W.
The earliest practicable dates for
starting them are: La Eeine tulips,
December 1 to 15; Murillo tulips, Janu-
ary 10; Trumpet major, French, Decem-
ber 1; Guernsey, December 10; Dutch,
January 1 to 10; Double Von Sion,
January 15; Single Von Sion, January
5 to 10; princeps, January 1 to 10; Sir
Watkin, January 20; Golden Spur,
Dutch, January 5 to 10; Guernsey,
French, December 1 to 10; Victoria,
January 20 to 25; Emperor, January 15
to 20; poeticus ornatus, January 5 to
10; Barri conspicuus, January 20 to 30.
A good deal, of course, will depend
upon how early your bulbs are received
and planted. It is well to remember
that none of these bulbs started at the
earliest possible date will flower so
satisfactorily as they will a little later
in the season and I doubt if too early
forcing of any of them pays.
Allow La Eeine tulips, Trumpet
major. Single Von Sion, Golden Spur
DIBBCTIONS ON AZALEA INDICA.
Please tell me how and when to
progagate Azalea Indica. Is black
muck land that has been cultivated for
some time a good soil for azaleas, or is
leaf -mold and sand better? Should fer-
tilizer be used on azaleas, and would
it be advisable to plant young plants
out every spring and repot them in the
fall, or to carry them along in pots
and shift them whenever necessary!
Should azaleas be carried over in pots
plunged outdoors in full sun or in a
partly shaded place? H. G. — O.
SOIL ONLY NEEDS LIME.
Last September we placed a strip of
soil alongside a pavement. It is eight
feet wide, 120 feet long and three feet
deep. The soil used was black, sandy
and washed, taken from a creek bottom.
We took the soil to a depth of seven
feet. Will this be suitable for roses,
asters and other flowers this year?
E. T. S.— la.
If you give the soil a dressing of
ground or air-slaked lime and work it
in well, the soil should prove all right.
Do not use any manure with the lime,
but if the roses show signs of starva-
tion give them a top-dressing of cow
manure in summer. C. W.
Propagate from cuttings in winter,
or by grafting; the latter method is
usually adopted. Azaleas like a mixture
of peat, leaf-mold and sand, but will
grow well in loam, particularly if leaf-
mold has been added to it. They would
not do well in leaf -mold alone. Azaleas,
when the pots are well filled with roots,
are benefited by occasional weak doses
of liquid manure during the growing
season. When they are planted out
each season, they need not have any
feeding. Plants will make better
BosweU, N. M. — When asked her
"connection with the trade," Mrs.
Bernice Akin good-humoredly replied:
' ' A few days ago I hung out my shin-
gle, with this inscription on it: 'Flow-
ers and Plants for Sale.' I did not
find the business — it found me! I had
such success in growing flowers for my-
self it occurred to me that I could
grow flowers for others as well. I hope
you will consider me enough of a florist
to qualify as a subscriber to The
Eeview. ' '

Stock for Memorial Day.
There is a comparatively short period
between Easter and Memorial day this
year. As five weeks is not sufficiently
long to start plants and flower them,
it will be necessary to start them in a
moderate way early in April. Allow
Spiraea Japonica six weeks, Gladstone,
seven weeks and Peach Blossom eight
weeks, in an average night temperature
of 60 degrees. Hydrangeas and ram-
bler roses should be housed and given
a start now. They may need to remain
somewhat crtowded until Easter has
passed. Crops of feverfew, candytuft,
stocks, snapdragons, calendulas, etc., in
benches, which should all have been
benched some weeks ago, will need
careful attention from this time on.
Eun the candytuft and feverfew
warmer than the snapdragons and
stocks. If the last-named need heat,
let it be later, when the spikes are
pushing up.
Bouvaxdia Humboldtii.
If young stock of Bouvardia Hum-
boldtii is wanted, cut back one or two
old plants, place them in heat and spray
freely, but do not overwater, and they
will soon give a flne crop of nice, suc-
culent cuttings that will root easily.
If these are potted on, they will make
nice stock in 6-inch pots before fall.
Keep the old, carried-over plants rested
for some time yet, and plant them out-
doors in well enriched ground when
the weather has become warm and
settled.
Buddleia Asiatlca.
Cuttings of Buddleia Asiatica can be
put in as late as August and produce
good little flowering plants; if those of
fair size are needed, cuttings should go
in now. They root easily and should
be kept potted on and plunged outdoors
through the summer. They can be had
in good bloom as early as Christmas,
and are at their best during January
and the first half of February. They
succeed particularly well in a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees at night.
Sweet Peas Outdoors.
Winter in many sections this year
is prolonged well into the lap of spring,
and early plowing and seed sowing
seem improbable when these notes are
written. But even though certain seeds
are sown two or three weeks later one
season than another season, they in-
variably flower at about the same time
each year. It is always an advantage
to have an early season for sweet peas.
It is necessary to sow the seed as soon
as possible after the frost has left the
ground and the soil has dried sufficiently
to be workable. Cover the seeds two
to two and one-half inches deep, leav-
ing the tops of the rows somewhat
hollowed after filling in, but do not fill
in about the plants, as is often recom-
mended, while they are small; it only
breeds stem-rot.
Utilize Hotbeds.
Greenhouses become much over-
crowded in early spring and it is a
great relief to be able to use cold-
frames now for much of the hardier
stock. A foot of warm stable manure
mixed with leaves and firmly tramped
will give a nice, gentle heat in which
many plants will thrive amazingly. All
plants are near the glass. They grow
stocky and can be gradually hardened
in a way impossible in greenhouses.
Partly plunge the pots in order to give
them a little bottom heat, and the
change from the greenhouses will be
little noticed. Use mats and board
shutters on cold nights to keep the
plants comfortably warm.
Oround for Asters.
Sweet peas and asters are the two
most valuable annuals for the average
florist. The land for each, whenever
possible, should be prepared in late
fall. Where this can not be done, give
the aster ground a liberal coating of
well decayed manure and plow it as
soon as the land is workable; later,
when it has dried out well, give it a
thorough harrowing and go over it sev-
eral times more before planting time, in
order to pulverize the ground thor-
oughly. The better the land is pre-
pared, the finer your asters will be.
San Jose Scale.
Before the buds on trees and shrubs
get started, it is a good policy to spray
many varieties either with lime sulphur
or one of the soluble oils for San Jose
scale, which is a common pest. Unless
the work is to be done on a large scale,
the oil solutions, such as Scaline and
Scalecide, are to be preferred. Select
a sunny day for the work, when there
is as little wind as possible, and use
a fine misty spray nozzle that will wet
every portion of the bark. All fruit
trees, not excluding currants and goose-
berries, should be sprayed. Some
shrubs are badly attacked, including
lilacs, cydonias, cornus and all the spe-
cies of roses; also, hawthorns, cer-
cidiphyllums, willows, chestnuts and
poplars. This is but a partial list, but
it is a safe plan to spray the entire
shrubbery each year.
YIELD OF BLOOMS PER PLANT.
How many carnation blooms per plant
are considered a good cut?
M. W. H.— Mo.
Fifteen blooms per plant would be
considered a fair average for such va-
rieties as the Enchantress family. Mrs.
Ward will drop a couple of blooms be-
hind, while White Wonder will go a
few blooms ahead. A. F. J. B.
tion. This, with a little phosphate
rock, may be all they will need.
Cuttings taken from these plants will
not make first-class stock for next year.
If, however, you select cuttings from
the best plants, the stock may prove to
be better than this year's stock and
several years of selection might bring
it up to a fair state of quality. Selec-
tion is usually an effective method of
eliminating disease and it is so in this
case; until we know more about this
disease, it is about the only treatment
that can be recommended.

YELLOWS AND FEEBLE OROWTH.
Please examine the enclosed plant
and let me know what disease has af-
fected it, as I am losing the plants in
the benches slowly but surely.
J. S.— O.
The plant submitted has never made
much growth and is in anything but a
vigorous condition. It is full of the
yellows, which may be responsible for
this lack of vigor. There is little you
can do for these plants, except to fol-
low a moderate course of culture. Do
not overwater them and be careful
about the feeding. They will perhaps
need a little food later, but not as
much as plants which have made a
vigorous growth. I^et the food you do
give be phosphoric acid and potash,
rather than nitrogen, as nitrogen soft-
ens the tissue and tends to aggravate
the trouble. As spring approaches, a
mulch of long stable manure may be
beneficial, to prevent too rapid evapora-
BRANCH-ROT AND RUST.
We are enclosing sample plants which
show two kinds of infection that are
appearing on our carnation benches,
and we wish to inquire as to the cause
of the trouble and the best way of
remedying it. P. F.' C. — Mich.
The 8 pecimens submitted are af-
fected by both branch-rot and rust.
This form of rot is difficult to handle,
because it makes its attacks down in
the heart of the plant, where it is diffi-
cult to reach it with any spraying ma-
terial. Bordeaux is the most effective
remedy and I suggest that you spray
the plants thoroughly with this mate-
rial every two weeks, poking the spray
nozzle right into the center of each
plant. Bordeaux is also good for rust,
but you should have little trouble from
now on with this disease. Spraying the
young plants every three or four weeks
with this material will usually keep
them free from rust. A. F. J. B.

OBITUARY.
NUTT GERANIUM IN 1874.
In The Review £01* March 2 I read
with interest two articles relative to the
history of the S. A. Nutt geranium.
One of the first geraniums that I be-
came familiar with was the S. A. Nutt,
and that was in 1874, in the green-
houses of the late L. T. Charles, of
Hornell, N, Y. At that time S. A.
Nutt was grown throughout that part
of the country. In 1877, while at
Limestone, N. Y., I purchased this va-
riety from the Storrs & Harrison Co.,
of Painesville, O., which had S. A.
Nutt listed as one of the best colored
varieties but not as a new one. I
think you are right when you say that
the history of the S. A. Nutt geranium
is lost in the mists of antiquity.
John I. Whiting.
GERANIUM FOLIAGE TURNS RED.
I should like to know what is mak-
ing my geranium leaves turn red, as
red as an oak or maple leaf in autumn.
The plants are thoroughly watered at
all times, but the soil is never allowed
to get soggy. Young cuttings and ma-
ture plans are affected alike.
F. Q.—m.
Too much potash in the soil is the
probable cause of the foliage turning
red. An excess of bone is just as bad.
Shake the plants out and give them a
compost of two-thirds well decayed
loam and one-third old hotbed manure,
cow manure or horse manure, being
sure it is old, crumbly and well de-
cayed. Add a 4-inch pot of fine bone
to a wheelbarrow load of compost and
mix thoroughly before potting. Your
system of watering seems to be all
right. C. W.
GERANIUM LEAVES DISEASED.
Enclosed you will find a few gera-
nium leaves which were removed from
young stock in 2^-inch pots. Will you
kindly tell me what is the cause of the
spots on the leaves and what causes
the edges of the leaves to turn brown?
I am careful never to wet the leaves
during the winter months and I have
kept all affected leaves picked off, but
the trouble continues. There are about
5,000 plants on the bench and they are
all sturdy and now ready to shift.
Yet, twenty-four hours after leaves
have been picked off, many become
like those enclosed. This occurs in
patches over the whole bench.
A. E. D.— Mich.
The leaves were all dried up on re-
ceipt. Your trouble is not at all un-
common. Each year at this season we
get many similar letters. It is not
easy to tell what has been the cause
of the trouble. Geranium diseases are
yet but imperfectly understood, and it
is to be hoped that some of our state
colleges will take up the study of them.
Often the cuttiner bed is the cause of
this trouble; cuttings left in the sand
too long often develop disease. I would
suggest spraying the plants with either
Bordeaux mixture or Fungine. Apply
the latter at the strength advertised
on the cans, on a bright day, being
sure the foliage is quite dry. Give a
second application four or five days
later. If this does not stop the spread
of the disease entirely, give a third,
or, if necessary, a fourth spraying at
intervals of a week.
Keep a dry atmosphere in your house,
air freely, give the plants all possible
sunshine, and continue to pick oflf the
badly affected leaves. Let the aver-
age night temperature be 50 degrees.
When repotting, avoid the use of any
animal manure unless it is old and well
decayed. The kind that will crumble
in your hand is the best. Also add a
4-inch pot of fine bone to each bushel
of earth. Bone promotes a hard, stocky
growth, and where it is used the plants
bloom much more freely than where
cow, horse or sheep manure only is
used. C. W.
Jacob Fischer.
Jacob Fischer, one of the pioneer flo-
rists of Toledo, O., died March 21 after
an illness of four days, death being
due to pneumonia. Mr. Fischer was
born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, six-
ty-seven years ago. He came to this
country at the age of 18 and found em-
ployment in greenhouses at Toledo. In
1879 he started a greenhouse business
on Central avenue, Toledo, in which he
was actively engaged up to the time
of his death. Recently the city, in re-
turn for a boulevard right of way,
which necessitated the removal of the
old greenhouses, built for Mr. Fischer
houses valued at $12,000, a short dis-
tance from the old location. He is sur-
vived by his wife and two daughters.
George E. Tromey.
George E. Tromey, a well-known re-
tail florist of Cincinnati, O., died at his
home last week after an illness of only
a few days' duration. For a large num-
ber of years he was a member of Fred
Gear's force. Eight or nine yedrs ago
he opened hie own store and was suc-
cessful from the start. Mr. Tromey
belonged to several lodges and orders.
His wife and two children survive him.

sold his greenhouses to Thomas Evans
and retired from the business. The
new owner will continue the business

house Co.
POINTS ON PROPAGATING.
I wish to grow my own chrysanthe-
mums this year, with Mrs. Henry Robin-
son as my principal variety. Will you
kindly let me know in what size of pots
I should place the cuttings and what
kind of soil is best? How deep should
the cuttings be planted in the pots?
Would it be safe to put them all in a
coldframe and put sashes over them,
shading them until they take root and
also giving them air? When can I start
taking the cuttings? G. K. — La.
Chrysanthemum cuttings are struck or
rooted in sand, as a general rule. When
the roots are about an inch long in the
sand, they are taken up and potted in
2^-inch pots. The soil for this potting
does not contain any fertilizer of any
description; the best soil is a nice virgin
loam, where it is possible to procure it.
When the cuttings are planted, half an
inch or so of the stem should be cov-
ered, with the roots. It would be en-
tirely safe to put them in a coldframe
with sashes over them, in your vicinity.
When the plants are growing nicely
they should be given all the air pos-
sible, whenever the temperature is over
40 degrees.
You can start making cuttings as soon
as the old plants begin to throw up
stock. If planted early the stock is
liable to grow too tall, but it can be
kept tipped and allowed to come along
at the same time as the later propa-
gated batch. Chas. H. Totty.
MUMS FOR LATE OCTOBER.
Please give me the names of the best
white, yellow and pink chrysanthe-
mums that will yield perfect blooms be-
tween October 20 and 30. What is the
largest white that will flower at that
time? Is Odessa perfect by that timet
L. W. v.— S. C.
The largest and most perfect white
to come on between the dates men-
tioned would be either Mrs. J. P.
Mitchel or Antigone. Both are good
and superior to others. Mrs. Syme
comes in about the same time, but it is
little cultivated. The best yellow
would be either Marigold or A. S. Bald-
win. Odessa is a good variety, but it
hardly would be ready at the time de-
sired. Take either Lady Hopetoun or
Adele Griswold for good pink blooms.
Hopetoun still is the peer of any pink
yet introduced, providing it can be
had in good condition.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
St. Louis took National Flower Show
week to announce a big spring show for
1917. The dates selected are March 15
to 18.
The development of the rose and of the
carnation has been carried to a point
where a new variety must possess decided
merit to attract more than ordinary at-
tention on the exhibition table.
A subscriber, somewhat new in the
trade, complains that he has difficulty in
procuring stock at wholesale prices; when
he writes, some do not reply, while others
send retail lists. But he uses paper out
of a school tablet! The first thing to do,
on starting a business, is to get a printed
letterhead.
A JfEW DELIVEEY PliAN.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.
has announced that on and after April 1
it will execute commissions for its pa-
trons and will deliver flowers, candy,
books and the like in any town or city
where it has an office. There is no need
to know a florist or confectioner or
bookseller — just hand the Western
Union the price, and it will make the
purchase and deliver the goods for a
small fee. This is an extension of the
company's money transfer service.
The express companies for many
years operated a similar purchase and
delivery department, but the service
was too slow to have much effect on
the florists' business. The telegraph
company can do better. Florists in
large cities should find the telegraph
company's business highly desirable.
WHEN COST COUNTS LITTI^E.
The fear frequently is expressed that
the rapid rise in the price of green-
house materials, especially glass and
pipe', will result in checking building
operations. But why should it? If
conditions are ripe for the increase of
a grower's glass, the market price of
materials counts for little; a grower
would be unwise to build greenhouses
he didn't need, just because materials
were cheap, and he would lack in en-
terprise to postpone building, because
of high prices, if conditions otherwise
make building desirable. Given a mar-
ket that calls for increased supplies of
stock, any ordinary variation in the
investment caused by the price of glass
or pipe counts for little. Suppose a
house does cost five or even ten per
cent more this year than it did last
year; aren't general conditions in the
trade a lot better than that?
AGAIN, CAN YOU BEAT IT?
It isn't possible to give record re-
sults to every advertiser, but a sur-
prising number write of the more than
satisfactory returns they get through
The Review. Like this:
Not advertising In The Review is like stop-
ping the clock to save time. — Conrad Freund,
Cleveland, O., March 17, 1916.
Review ads are helping wonderfully. — Aeth-
borne Goldfish & Supply Co., Burlington, la.,
March 17, 1916.
I will say frankly, two short ads sold all my
geraniums and vincas, bringing me very good
results. I am perfectly satisfied with Review
ads. — Charles Taynor, New Carlisle, O., March
16, 1916.
Mr. Taynor sold out his stock at a
cost for advertising amounting to only
$5.50.
When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.
FERNS NOT SCARCE THIS SEASON.
At this time of year attention turns
to the situation as regards hardy cut
ferns and the prospect of a squeeze in
whatever interval there is between old
and new crop.
But the indications are that there
are plenty of ferns this season and that
there will be no shortage around Memo-
rial day. It is true that many ferns in
cold storage have been keeping poorly,
but the loss, while it has hit the pocket-
books of certain parties, has not been
enough to affect the general supply.
Perhaps the best evidence as to the
present situation is found in the fact
that prices all season, with business
good, have been a shade under those
of last season, with business slow. Also,
the eastern shippers usually raise their
wholesale prices each month as the sea-
son advances, but there was no in-
crease for March, some shippers even
reducing previously accepted quota-
tions.
There evidently are plenty of ferns
in the hands of the Massachusetts ship-
pers, as well as moderate quantities in
storage elsewhere.
PLANTSMEN'S TEOUBUBS.
Outside the greenhouses it is the
quite general opinion that the grower
has a snap — all he has to do is to stick
some cuttings in the sand and, in the
course of time, bank the money.
But there are plenty of indications
that, this year at least, the growers
who specialize on spring stock for the
trade are having troubles of their own.
To root geraniums appears to have
been especially difficult this season.
And vincas and other stock in special
demand at this time also have given
trouble.
Both growers and buyers have had
trouble: The growers could not fill
orders as expected and buyers were,
and are, impatient, especially if their
checks have been cashed. The insist-
ence of buyers, demanding that stock
be shipped at once or money refunded,
has resulted in the shipment of much
inferior stock, 2%-inch plants that
scarcely would have been able to get
by as rooted cuttings.
It is a season in which the man who
is prompt and careful in answering cor-
respondence and who refuses to send
out stock until it is ready is adding
greatly to his reputation.
AGAIN A RECORD.
The excuse for referring so often to
The Review is that so many people are
kind enough to take interest in the
progress their trade paper still makes
even after it has become known as one
of the remarkable class journals of
America. Not in any other trade in
this country is there a journal carry-
ing so large and comprehensive a vol-
ume of advertising as appears in The
Review. Nor is there one in which so
large a percentage of the advertising
is depended on for direct mail orders to
clear stock — stock that will be lost if
not sold at once as a result of the
advertising.
But to this week's record: It is for
volume of classified advertising. Other
issues have carried as much display, but
never before has so much classified ap-
peared in a single issue. There are al-
most twenty full pages of it this week.
It is the trade's market place.
CHICACK).
The Market.
Beginning with the combined rain
and sleet storm March 26, Chicago mar-
ket conditions performed a right-about-
face, and as a result the early part of
the week found a bountiful supply of
practically everything. March 27 and
28, while not markedly cold, were
rainy and gusty, which quite effectually
put a dam|)er on local demand. Ship-
ping business, though not as heavy, per-
haps, as one could desire, has not been
so much affected. Moreover, the
dearth of weddings during the Lenten
season is beginning to make itself felt.
In spite of this fact,, however, busi-
ness was good until the weather took
an unfavorable turn.
The supply of Beauties is regularly
increasing and there is a marked im-
provement in the quality of receipts.
The demand is primarily for short and
medium length stock. The supply of
other roses is more than equal to the
demand. Ophelia and Russell are
clearing with the least difficulty,
though Maryland is moving with a fair
degree of ease.
Last week carnations were on the
short side of the market and experi-
encing a lively demand. This week
they are in good supply and are mov-
ing slowly. The red varieties are in
greatest demand. The general com-

plaint is that Enchantress is far too
plentiful. Valley is behaving in a most
unusual way. It is actually sluggish!
Though surely in the limelight, Easter
lilies are not moving any too well.
Violets, however, are clearing. So, too,
are sweet peas. Tulips still meet with
a fair demand. The supply of south-
ern jonquils has been sufficiently great
to take the edge oflf the market, and,
as a consequence, they are not moving
as rapidly as they should. Cattleyas
are decidedly scarce, and though there
is no great demand for them all re-
ceipts clear on arrival.
Asparagus sprays for funeral work
are in more than usual demand. Ferns,
too, find a ready sale. Smilax, how-
ever, shares with cattleyas the honor
of being on the short side of the mar-
ket. Other greens are moving well
considering the condition of the mar-
ket. .

lishment was surprised at the strength
of the detaand for cuttings of Cham-
pion.
Chicago is well represented at the
National Flower Show in Philadelphia
this week. See the list of trade visi-
tors there.
A new device for calling those on
the floor who may be wanted has been
installed bj the A. L. Randall Co. It
is a series of bell alarms and is prov-
ing much more satisfactory than the
megaphone.
After spending a most enjoyable
fortnight in the far southwest,' Joseph
Ziska, Sr., and Emil Jehlik, 1825 South
Ashland avenue, returned to Chicago
March 26.
A. G. Fischer has purchased the
Clark's Flower Shop, 23 South Craw-
ford avenue, and is getting ready for
a heavy run of Easter business.
The sudden illness of his mother
called J. E. Quallich, of the A. L. Ban-
dall Co., to Cleveland March 25.
A. F. Kavina, 2205 South Fifty-sixth
avenue, was recently married to Miss
Eleanor M. Cerny, 1647 South Austin
boulevard.
Quite refreshed from his early spring
vacation in the south, Roswell Schupp
is again in charge of the shipping de-
partment of J. A. Budlong.
The wife of John Walsh, of the Chi-
cago Flower Growers' Association, was
taken suddenly ill early March 25 and
was hurried to the University hospital.
It was found she was suffering with
acute appendicitis, and the surgeons de-
cided to operate at once. The opera-
tion was successful and she is now con-
valescing.
Decorators and painters are working
overtime in the store of Otto Larson,
1604 West Sixty-third street. He re-
ports a phenomenal sale of Boston
ferns.
There is nothing like work to cure a
heavy cold, according to Otto Frese, of
the Poehlmann Bros. Co., who is quite
recovered from a recent attack of
neuralgia.
The ample space in the office of
D. D. P. Roy in the Federal Life build-
ing is being converted into a veritable
garden of flowering plants, ferns and
palms, with rustic fence and benches.
Believing the demand for good Beau-
ties never will wane, John Michelsen
says the E. C. Amling Co. is not en-
couraging any grower to cut down on
it if the grower really knows how to
handle this rose well. But there are
not many such.
The present crop of Sunburst is one
of the finest Emil Buettner has yet
cut of this rose of steadily increasing
popularity. The foliage and color both
are especially fine.
Among the spring jobs to be handled
by Richard Gloede, of Evanston, is an
8-acre park at Rogers Park and nearly
a dozen good landscape orders for pri-
vate parties along the north shore.
The increased call for perennials is
commented on at Winterson's Seed
Store, where J. P. Degnan says the
sales in this line have increased faster
than in any other.
Just to show his friends in the trade
that he has altogether recovered his
health, Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel,
was on the market March 27 in spite
of the rain and the cold.
Believing that the wholesale plant
business offers unlimited scope for his
energies, Peter Pearson is confining
himself to that line, including seeds

The Market.
Business was steady until the mid-
dle of last week; then it took a de-
cided drop, which all had anticipated,
as conditions were due to change
because of Lent. Roses and carnations
are in good supply and the quality is
good, bringing fair prices. The qual-
ity of Beauties is much better than
that of a month ago. Calendulas have
sold exceedingly well all winter and
:proved themselves money-makers for
all who grew them. Some extra fine
callas and Formosa lilies are in the
market and sell well. Shipped-in Cali-
fornia violets are fine, but there is not
much demand for them.
Various Notes.
Miss Louise Wegner, who was oper-
ated on several weeks ago, is able to
be up and around, but she is not quite
ready for work.
J. J. Hess, before going to the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia,
was a guest at a large banquet Satur-
day evening, March 25, given by the
Swiss ambassador at Washington.
Miss Gretchen Swoboda has returned
after several months' visit to Cali-
fornia, where she had a delightful time.
The Woerner Wire Works has been
exceedingly busy all winter and right
now is working day and night to fill
orders on hand.
Frank Swanson, who some time ago
leased the Arnold greenhouses on
North Eighteenth street and has his
store in South Omaha, is doing a good
business and says he could ' do more
if he had the glass.
At Council Bluffs.
Last Sunday we took a run over to
Council Bluffs to see some of our
brother florists, but, owing to the fact
that our time was limited, we did not
see all of them, much as we wished to.
Our first stop was at Herman Bros.',
where we found roses and carnations
in good shape. Oscar Herman has had

quite a lot of bad luck thi? winter.
Some time ago he had his left arm
broken and just at present is hardly
able to be about, suffering from an ail-
ment similar to rheumatism. He now
is the proud possessor of a 7-passen-
ger car, a gift from his father-in-law.
Henry Gerber, vegetable grower, is
adding three houses, each 30x120, to
be used for vegetables for the present,
but later for cut flowers.
J. F. Wilcox & Sons have had a
heavy run of business, both wholesale
and retail, at their No. 1 plant. Some
nice Ophelia, Kussell and Ward were
to be seen. Carnations also were fine.
Down at Lake Manawa, where they
have two big houses, 60x1,000, we
found everything in really better shape
than we expected, considering the fact
that three years ago this month these
houses were completely demolished by
a tornado and last summer a liail storm
broke every pane of glass in the houses.
Under the efficient management of
Foreman Harry Clark, the place has
taken on new life and some excellent
stock is the result. The houses have
been given a good coat of paint inside
and outside, which makes them look
like new.
Fred Lainson is so busy these days
he hardly knows which way to turn.
His Bassett carnations beat any red
to be seen in this market. Winsor also
is fine, while his geranium and mum
stock show excellent care. He is going
to tear down two of his small houses
and replace them with one, 97x260 feet,
to be used for cucumbers. Mr. Lain-
son is a good example of what push
and vim will do and what opportuni-
ties the florists' business affords those
in it. He has about 150,000 square feet
of glass, one of the finest homes in
Council Bluffs and two or three auto-
mobiles. And with all his wealth, he
is still one of the boys. L. S. H.

The Market.
The three weeks I did not report saw
great changes in the business here.
The first two weeks were erratic as to
weather — one day cold, the next day
warm as summer. As a result the
earlier daffodils did not produce heav-
ily. Last week was mild and brought
us plenty of rain, but also a terrible
wind. With the wind came the worst
fire the city has ever known^ sweeping
block after block and leaving thou-
sands homeless. Many of these were
good flower buyers, too. Fortunately,
none of the trade was directly affected
in any way, as there was none of them
in the fire-swept part of tne city. Tom
Joy served on the relief committee in
caring for the homeless ones, until per-
manent quarters could be secured for
them. Over 350 residences were burned.
The fire was started by a little colored
boy dropping his yarn ball into the
open grate. Hastily snatching it from
the flames, he threw it into the yard
to extinguish it. The heavy wind
rolled it under the house and in a mo-
ment the fire was beyond control. Nat-
urally, the florists are wondering just
what effect the fire will have on spring
trade.
Last week brought an abundance of
good stock of all kinds, the first real
let-up on a shortage for over six
months. Carnations and roses are plen-
tiful and of excellent quality. Peas
are as plentiful as I have ever seen
them and the quality averages the best
for forced stock. Truly, peas have im-
proved much since the new winter-flow-
ering orchid type first appeared. Out-
doors the later varieties of narcissi are
beginning to open, and they promise

a full crop of exceptional quality. The
varieties on tliis market are growing to
be legion and it takes one who is well
up on this flower to recognize half of
them.
Hyacinths in pots have at last come
into their own as regards quality. They
have been of poor quality until the last
few days, but they are selling well now.
The first spirseas of the season made
their appearance last week. They are
not nearly so popular here as they once
were. Rhododendrons are of excellent
quality this season. Evidently we have
a better grade than usual. The usual
lot of peddling wagons have not ap-
peared on the streets as yet this year,
but the influx of stock is bound to
bring them out. Fruit trees are in their
glory now, and they tell me they have
bloomed so late that we will have
peaches again this year. If so, we will
forgive the weather man for handing
us so much winter when we should have
had spring.

the season, and violets are being picked
in large quantities every day, most of
the stems being nine inches in length
and the blooms larger than ever.
We had two zero days last week, but
the ice now has begun to melt and it
looks as if spring is approaching. The
cold weather no doubt will be helpful in
retarding the growth of the Easter
lilies and the rose stock. Judging by
appearances, everything will be in good
shape by the time Easter arrives.
W. J. Jones, of the Dale Estate, is
gradually gaining strength in the sani-

Tlie Market.
Last week's cut flower market was
not satisfactory. The tendency of
price was downward. The supply of
everything is increasing and this con-
dition seems likely to continue until
Easter. American Beauties are lower
in price and abundant. The top price
March 25 was $35 per hundred, with
Hadley running neck and neck. The
arrivals of Prima Donna are lighter.
The other roses, such as Ophelia,
Hoosier Beauty, Eichmond, Killarney
Brilliant, Sunburst, Ward, Francis Scott
Key and Stanley, have their adherents
and admirers and are quickly acquired
by the bon-ton stores. Prices for the
selects of all of these are steady. Of
March 30, 1916.

the short-stemmed and lower grades,
few have fallen below $20 per thou-
sand.
The quality of the carnations arriv-
ing is perfect and prices hold remark-
ably strong. The sizes of the shipments,
however, grow larger daily and a
break this week seems inevitable. The
fancies sold at $3 per hundred; few
dropped to less than $2 except the im-
perfect stock. Sweet peas are numer-
ous and any but the best are hard to
dispose of at any price. The best of
the Spencers are greatly favored and
sell readily. The quality of these is
superb. Violets must be first-class to
yield 25 cents per hundred. Shipments
are heavy.
The street merchants were legion
March 25, and they were loaded with
trays of valley. Sweet peas and vio-
lets and even gardenias were offered
in great quantities by these merchants.
The best gardenias were selling at $1.50
per dozen, and from that figure down
to $5 per hundred. Valley holds at $1
to $3, with an occasional sale at $4,
but the supply is growing larger. Lilies
are abundant and prices steady at the
previous week's quotations. There will
be little change before Lent ends.
There was a slight advance in orchids
during the week, but it did not hold,
and Saturday saw the previous week's
figures repeated. A few of the finest
cattleyas sold at 50 cents. One concern
says it is receiving 1,000 orchids daily.
The tulip shipments again are large.
There were more than the market could
digest March 25. Prices have been well
maintained on bulbous stock, especially
on daffodils and narcissi. There are no
signs as yet of the southern invasion.
Callas are abundant, as well as pansies,
lilac, mignonette and the other season-
able spring flowers.
Various Notes.
A large number of tradesmen at-
tended the National Flower Show at
Philadelphia. F. H. Traendly left
Mdrch 25. Mr. and Mrs. P. Breitmeyer
were in the city March 24, the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Bunyard, and
on their way to the show. The whole
affair reflects credit on A. L. Miller and
his committee.

C. C. Trepel will have as novelty at-
tractions, at his store at Blooming-
dale's, a Japanese garden department,
with small native attendants, and a
Holland section, with little Dutch la-

stock and other importations. Mr.
Trepel will establish an auction depart-
ment, selling two days in the conserva-
tory on the roof and one day, each
week in the store.
Madison avenue is fast becoming the
center of the retail cut flower industry,
a dozen new stores having been opened
during the last year. From Forty-
fourth street up to Seventy-second
street nearly every block has its floral
emporium.
J. H. Small & Sons will move May 1
to their new store at Fifty-second
street and Madison avenue. The high
rentals of Fifth avenue and Broadway
are thus avoided.
The plant auctions are in full swing.
At the MacNiflf Horticultural Co. rooms
the crowds of suburbanites increase
at every sale. Two auctions here are
conducted simultaneously.
The seedsmen have had a breathing
spell during the cold weather, but now
that spring is really here they are at
it again, night and day.
The next meeting of the New York
Florists' Club will be held April 10,

Jack Trepel, buyer and manager for
Joseph Trepel, of Brooklyn, last week
celebrated his wedding anniversary.
Messrs. Elliott and son, of Boston,
were in New York early Monday morn-
ing on their way to Philadelphia and

The New York Galvin store was vis-
ited last week by Thomas Galvin, of
Boston. Mr. Galvin is greatly pleased
with the season 's record under the
care of Manager Decrie.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
There is a distinct change in condi-
tions, due chiefly to milder weather. All
flowers are more plentiful. Business,
while good for mid-Lent and the end
of March, lacks snap. Staple flowers,
such as roses, carnations and daffodils,
are in fair demand. Valley continues
quite scarce. Gardenias, stocks, forget-
me-nots and wallflowers are neglected.
Lilac has been selling well. So have
Easter lilies; they bring a better price
now than at Easter, although, of course,
a larger supply would change condi-
tions. Single violets are nearing the
end of their season. Double violets
are not in favor at present. The fea-
ture of this market is the heavy supply
of fine Spencer sweet peas. Their price
has declined, but great numbers are
used at the lower figures. "With the
Spencers in such grand form, the early-
flowering sorts have little chance.
Beauties are finding a market after
their period of scarcity. The other roses
have been accumulating a little at
times, mostly in the standard varieties.
Well grown novelties fare rather better.
Carnations are down a peg; the in-
creased receipts compel the lower rate.
Emperor daffodils are in strong demand.
Their quality is superb, their supply
limited. Cattleyas are quite plentiful
at lower prices; so are snapdragons.
The wholesale houses that enjoy an out-
of-town business are shipping a consid-
erable quantity of stock. Southern
daffodils and arbutus are both active
at list prices.
The National Flower Show.
The preliminary work of two years
is over. The Fourth National Flower
Show is in full swing at Convention
hall. Whether it is a complete or only
partial success others must decide. For
ourselves it is only necessary to say that
we have done our best. Whatever short-

comings there may be are not from want
of effort. We hope that this show
may be considered a step in advance
in horticulture in America. We now
know that we have made two blunders.
Our largest hall was not nearly large
enough and we should have known and
squarely met that Sunday closing law in
time. Up to March 26 the daily press
and the general public believed the
show would be open that day, Sunday.
This was a serious error. The way
that our out-of-town brethren of the
profession and their families have come
to our city to see the show is most grat-
ifying and we are deeply grateful to
them for their interest.
A Credit Association.
There has been a strong feeling
among the wholesale florists in this city
throughout the fall and winter in favor
of a local credit association. Recent
happenings have brought out strongly
the need of some system by which
credits may be regulated. Under pres-
ent conditions it is possible for a buyer
to run up accounts with a number of
wholesale commission houses. These ac-
counts, moderate in themselves, often
prove so heavy in the aggregate that
they prove unbearable, and a heavy,
sometimes a total, loss results. While-
these credits are carefully regulated

by an association the chanCes of loss are
greatly diminished because the fact that
a buyer cannot exceed a given credit
compels much greater care with his or
her credits and collections. The prin-
cipal bar to the formation of a credit
association is the opposition of those
who can not or will not see that it would
be to the advantage of all, by cutting
out unfair competition, for a retail flo-
rist who does not pay his bills is an
unfair competitor. He can sell regard-
less of price the stock for which he pays
nothing. It is simply a case of united
we stand, divided we fall.

American Beauty roses are to be had.
While the demand is good, the price has
dropped to $6 per dozen for the best.
Other roses are more plentiful, but the
wholesale houses are managing to clean
up daily. The top prices are $8 to $10
per hundred; some of the grades sell
only at the buyer's offer. Valley has
been draggy and the wholesalers report
it to be a losing game, even though the
price has advanced to $5 per hundred.
Since this increase went into effect the
sale has fallen off and the growers have
had to hold their stocks for several
days at a time. There are about three
times as many sweet peas on the market
as there were a month ago and the price
has dropped to the point where $1 per
hundred is high for the best. Large
quantities of these find their way to the
street fakers, as do violets, which are
arriving in large quantities. The latter
are to be had at $5 per thousand and
less. Carnations have been holding up
well and the best are bringing $4.

Various Notes.
The regular meeting of the Tlorists'
Club of Washington, D. C, is scheduled
to be held Tuesday evening, April 4,
at 1214 F street, northwest. The prin-
cipal business of the evening will be
the installation of the new president
and vice-president.
B. Lloyd Jenkins, of Anacostia, has
so far recovered from his recent illness
that he is able to attend to his business.
Charles Scarborough was in charge of
the display at the Philadelphia flower
show made by the Gude Bros. Co. Ac-
cording to the announcement of Wil-
liam F. Gude, about one-half of the
company's employees will visit the
show during the week, taking advan-
tage of the educational opportunities
offered.
Theodore Wirth, superintendent of
parks of Minneapolis, Minn., and J. J.
Hess, of Omaha, Neb., were the guests
of the Gude Bros. Co. last week. Be-
fore leaving for the Philadelphia show
they had an opportunity of visiting
many of the places of interest in and
about the city. They visited the green-
houses and expressed themselves well
pleased with all that they had seen.
Florists of Washington have been in-
vited to enter the window display con-
test to be operated under the auspices
of the Washington Chamber of Com-
merce. The contest is to run for three
days. The stores are to be divided into
five classes and to the winner in each
there is to be awarded a scholarship in
a Scranton correspondence school. Those

had. The prices remain the same as
those of the week previous. As a
whole, the market is well supplied and
prices are good.
Various Notes.
The seed houses report that the seed
business is the Hbest they have ever
had, although they have considerable
trouble in securing some kinds of seeds.
The stores handling bulbs have had a
heavy season.
Nurserymen have started to plant
out their orders for this spring and
they are busy trying to find enough
help to plant the stock. The general
report is that orders are larger and
more numerous, and that it will re-
quire extra work to get them out be-
fore hot weather comes.
The dry goods stores have had an
all-week sale of spring planting bulb-
ous stock, at low prices, which is go-
ing to affect some of the retailers in
that line.

The demand for flowers of all kinds
was good last week. Funeral work
was less in evidence, but stock general-
ly cleared well. Roses are in good sup-
ply and of fine quality. Carnations
have been in rather short supply and
as yet are none too plentiful. Tulips
are on the wane and daffodils in good
supply. Peas are plentiful and other
stock in fair supply, but in no line can
there be said to be a surplus. Potted
plants continue in good demand. A
few springlike days have brought some
inquiries for hardy plants.

Charles Vorkeller, of South Bethle-
hem, Pa., denies the rumor that he re-
cently acquired a "block of Bethlehem
steel stock, but he admits investing in
a fine touring car, an evidence of pros-
perous business.
John F. Horn & Bro., of AUentown,
Pa., note a shortage of and increas-
ing call for. white flowers, and are
growing every varjety of plant pro-
ducing that color, for their retail trade.
John Horn, commenting upon the late-
ness of the season, predicts a puzzling
time for the grower of bedding and
Easter stock. A splendid lot of
Primula -obconica grandiflora was
noted among a fine general stock.
Ernest Ashley, of AUentown, round-
ing out his fifteenth year in the busi-
ness here, notes with satisfaction the
increasing call for fine work. In a
recent competition for window dis-
plays he received first prize for artis-
tic arrangement, but says that much
of the credit is due Mrs. Ashley. A
tract of land has been acquired for
nursery purposes. Ella Knauss, his ef-
ficient bookkeeper, is shortly to be
married. She has the best wishes of
her many friends in the business.
John H. £|fls8S, of AUentown, says
the way oraets tave come in for fu-
neral work has been remarkable, using
everything in the shape of natural
flowers.
Edward Kroninger, of AUentown, is
shipping in some of the finest carna-
tions grown around here and has done
much towards boosting local trade, al-
though he grows for wholesale exclu-
sively.
Andrew Yeager, AUentown, is justly
proud of his new mansion, which is
being completed and in which he and
his industrious partner will enjoy their
leisure hours.

rose, Marechal Niel, which is grown
on the place. We both associated it
with our more romantic days.
Charles Doerrer & Son, of Westfield,
N. J., remarked, when being compli-
mented upon his attractive place, that
it was just as necessary for the florist
to have a thoroughly up-to-date store
and show house as the man in any
other line of business. The more at-
tractive the surroundings, the more se-
ductive are the flowers.
H. W. Pierce, of Kingston, Pa., ex-
pects the authorities to purchase his
estate of ninety-five acres for a park,
which will include the greenhouses, in
which case he will rebuild farther out.

HYDEANOEAS FOB EASTER.
I would like to know how far ad-
vanced my Hydrangea Otaksa should
have been March 25. We have some
hydrangeas with clusters as large as a
half-dollar and some onlv showing buds.
C. W. K.— Kan.
If your hydrangeas had heads two to
two and one-half inches across March
25, they will need an average night
temperature of 60 degrees until Easter
in order to develop them properly. Of
course, we may have a warm spell,
which would advance them more quick-
ly, but it is easy to hold them back
in a cool and airy house. C. W.
SPIBAEAS FOB EASTEB.
Some of our spiraeas are twelve to
sixteen inches tall and the pinnacles of
the buds are branched out, while others
are only showing the buds plainly. Will
these flowers be in time for Easter f
C. W.R.— Kan.
Your spiraeas should come along in
ample time for Easter. If you are
growing the old S. Japonica they may
need some retarding, but astilboides and
Gladstone need longer time to develop
them properly. Queen Alexandra,
Peach Blossom and other pink forms
will need about all the time remaining

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.
Newark, N. J. — An involuntary peti-
tion in bankruptcy has been filed
against Harry C. Strobell, trading as
H. C. Strobell & Co., at 895 Broad
street. The petition was filed by Na-
than Bilder, representing the creditors.
The case was referred to George W,
Porter, referee in bankruptcy, who
named Chester W. Fairlie receiver. The
receiver was placed under $2,900 bonds.
No order was issued by the receiver
for the continuance of the business.
Mr. Strobell filed a written consent to
be immediately adjudicated bankrupt.
It is estimated by Mr. Strobell that
his assets and liabilities are about
equal. He values the Broad street prop-
erty at $150,000. On this there is a
mortgage of $103,000. He owns a
greenhouse at 101 Elizabeth avenue,
and the flowers and plants on hand
were estimated at $2,500. The liabili-
ties are not stated, but the bankruptcy
petition states that they are much in
excess of $10,000. R. B. M.

cently purchased the stock of Hugh

coming of warmer and more springlike
weather. We still have snow in abun-
dance, but it is melting rapidly and the
time for spjing planting will soon be
here, more particularly as there is no
frost below jthe snow. Roses have taken
a decided drop all around. They still
are of grand quality, but supplies ex-
ceed the demand. American Beauties
are more plentiful and the prices have
fallen sharply. Russells sell well. They
are temporarily somewhat scarce, and
Hadley is not overabundant. Ophelia
cleans up well, as does Francis Scott
Key. The last-named variety is becom-
ing quite a favorite and is eagerly
bought. White Killarney and Killamey
Brilliant go slowly. Cecile Brunner
sells the best of the small polyanthas
and realizes double the price of the
few Elger roses.
Carnation values have dropped sharp-
ly, although many growers are much
off crop. Sweet peas are abundant and
fine. Single violets are nearly over,
but doubles will last more than a
month. They move slowly. . There is
a much heavier supply of snapdragons,
with lower prices. The warmer weather
has sent bulbous stock along with a
grand rush and prices have softened.
Some extra fine Darwin tulips are com-
ing in, of which Pride of Haarlem is
much the best. Yellow marguerites are
coming in much more freely, as well as
pansies, mignonette and cornflowers.
Callas and lilies have been rather
druggy, but good valley is in demand.

Various Notea.
The Budlong Rose Co. is receiving re-
markably fine Francis Scott Key roses,
which prove to be great sellers. Stan-
ley and their Sunburst sport also are
in great demand. Indiana now is com-
ing of good color, not unlike Stanley.
Russell and Hadley are each off crop,
but Ophelia is abundant and remains
as popular as ever. They continue to
have fine gardenias.
Henry Zumbrumen, of Auburndale, is
sending in some remarkably fine
antirrhinums.
F. W. Fletcher & Co. have flowered
a splendid lot of hybrid freesias in a
variety of colors, with flowers just as
large as those of Purity.
The warmer weather has brought a
rush of orders to the seed stores, which
now have more business than they can
properly care for. It has been a lag-
gard season and will be a strenuous
and trying one for both seedsmen and
nurserymen.

from R. P. Petersen, of Saxonville.
Snapdragons to realize $2.50 per dozen
at wholesale must be good.
The closing lecture of the season waa
g^ven at Horticultural hall March 25.
Prof. J. J. Taubenhaus should have
lectured on "Sweet Pea Diseases and
Their Control," but was unable to at-
tend. His lecture, however, will be
printed in the transactions of the
society.
The Darwin tulips which were fir«t
forced here to any extent on private
estates are now being grown commer-
cially to an increasing extent. Pride of
Haarlem remains the favorite and flow-
ers such as grown by Paine Bros., of
Randolph, are so vastly superior to the
early tulips that the latter are simply
not in the running.
J. A. Nelson, of Framingham, is get-
ting a heavy pick of his high-grade
carnations. Pink Delight, Matchless
and Benora are fine. Alice is growing
better all the time, both in stem and
color.
Henry M. Robinson & Co. report busi-
ness as being splendid. Their growers
are sending them splendid lots of cut
flowers, Sim's sweet peas, mignonette
and violets and John McFarland's val-
ley being noteworthy.
English primroses, yellow polyanthus,
pansies and violets in large bouquets
meet with heavy sales at Wax Bros.',
where business shows a decided jump
since flowers have become more reason-
able in price.
In last week 's Review the name
A. Streckwald, of Tewksbury, should
have read A. Strickwell.
Welch Bros. Co. reports business as
being good. This firm anticipates the
best Easter business* on record.
Henry Penn and A. L. Boch, of
Penn's, are visitors at the Philadelphia
show. A fine spring display of plants
has been a feature here the last few
days. Business remains brisk.
The W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley,
has a grand lot of stock coming along
for Easter, comprising lilies, azaleas,
genistas, roses, metrosideros, acacias.

The Market.
The market last week was in first-
class condition in every respect and
the retailers had little room for com-
plaint. As to supply, every flower in
season is in plenty at any of the five
wholesale cut flower markets. The re-
tailers say trade last week was only
good in spots, the bulk of the business
being funeral work. The wholesalers
say that the stock in the lighter shades
had the call all the week. Roses are ar-
riving in fine quality and the supply is
large. The prices are most reasonable
on prime stock of all varieties except
Beauties.
Carnations are too plentiful for the
demand, but all are readily sold at $3
per hundred; only the lower grades are
left over. Sweet peas are in abundance
and have been for a month. The sale
of fancy Spencers is large at $5 per
thousand. The other grades, which are
in the bulk, are not looked after much
at present. Violets are letting up some-
what and the demand is not any too
good. Bulbous stock is coming in heav-
ily and there is some extra quality
stock in tulips, jonquils, Von Sions,

Various Notes.
The annual banquet given by the
Retail Florists' Association March 20
at the Mission Inn Garden v?as one of
the most pleasant affairs ever given by
this association. The tables were nice-
ly decorated. Covers were laid for
thirty-five and thirty responded to the
call. A splendid menu had been pre-
pared, with a gay cabaret and good
music after cigars. President Charles
Young, who was selected as toastmaster,
called on several of the members, who
explained the workings and object of
this association for the benefit of the
non-members present. Each gave an
interesting talk and there were quite
a few who filed applications for mem-
bership. All present said th5y never
spent a more pleasant evening and the
result will, no doubt, prove beneficial
to the association.
Park experts met here last week for
a conference to form a national asso-
ciation. The meeting lasted three days.
Among those present were Cabot Ward,
of the New York park board; Irvin M.
Krohn, of the Cincinnati park board;
C. Lechman, Kansas City park board;
Louis Nash, park commissioner of St.
Paul, Minn.; S. Wales Dixon, of Hart-
ford, Conn.; John Noyes, of Worcester,
Mass.; Chas. I. Niedhans, of Denver,
Colo. All the attendants were enter-
tained by Park Commissioner Conliff
and enjoyed an automobile ride through
the parks.
The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold its monthly meeting
at the Eleven Mile House April 6.
President Fred W. Ude, Jr., who has
returned from his Florida trip, will
preside and no doubt will have some
interesting things to tell the members
about Florida.
The following members of the Flo-
rists' Club are in Philadelphia this
week for the National Flower Show:
Jules Bourdet, J. F. Ammann, Fred H.
Weber, Fred C. Weber, Jr., David Scott
Geddia, F. H. Meinhardt and Otto G.
Koenig. The party left Saturday,
March 25, over the Pennsylvania route.
A. M. Sanders, representing the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, called on
the trade last week. This was Mr. San-
ders' first trip to St. Louis and he was
pleased with it.

his brother, Martin J. Seeger, is acting
head of the store.
Fred Michel, expert designer at Wald-
bart's Grand avenue establishment, has
had many opportunities this season to
display his ability. Mr. Michel is one
of those good-natured, unassuming fel-
lows who make many friends.
The C. Young & Sons Co. is making
special window displays of bulbs, seeds
and garden implements. At this time
of the year these displays attract many
and an extra force will be put on this
week to handle the mail-order trade.
At Angermueller 's wholesale house it
is reported that shipping of all kinds of
supplies to the western part of Mis-
souri and to Texas has kept the force
busy.
It is a sure sign of spring when
Thomas Carr opens his big plant stands
at Union Market, and that is what hap-
pened last week. Mr. Carr says the
few warm days kept things rushing in
plants, seeds and bulbs.
Jules Bourdet, head of the Bourdet
Floral Co., says his concern will not
be caught by the lateness of Easter,
but expects to have a large assortment
of Easter plants for the local trade, as
usual.
Messrs. Bruenig, Herzog and Kruse,
three well-known south end florists, ex-
perienced a busy week in funeral work.
All plants, too, had a call.
Our landscape gardeners, who have
plenty of work ahead, are having great
difficulty in securing competent help
to carry out their plans. Common la-
bor, too, seems scarce.

end grower, has a splendid lot of fine

E. W. Guy and A. E. Halstead, of
the St. Clair Floral Co., Belleville, have
their houses in shape again after the
heavy damage by a storm in January.
Both expect a heavy demand for bed-
ding plants this season and are well
prepared.
George Schmidt, rose grower for W.
J. Pilcher, Kirkwood, says that the
men soon will be cutting an abundance
of extra quality Russell, Hearst and
Shawyer roses, while Ward, Ophelia
and Killarney will be in abundance
from now on.

ports an extra heavy sale on $1 boxes
of cut flowers from their big adver-
tisement in the daily papers for March
25.
The addition to the Washington ave-

quality and plentiful. Lilies are more
abundant than they were. Gardenias
are plentiful and bring a medium price.
The prices of orchids have an upward
trend. Valley is of good quality, abun-
dant and reasonable in price, but not
low-priced. Not so many freesias are
seen in the stores. Sweet peas of ex-
cellent quality are coming in and there
is a good demand for them at medium
prices. Last week southern arbutus
made its appearance in the market.
Some fine potted hydrangeas are now

as that of a few weeks ago. Spring
flowers, such as forget-me-nots, pansies,
etc., are coming into the market more
freely, but are not overabundant.
Various Notes.
George Penek reports that business
is keeping up well and that the total
business done since the first of the year
has been much better than that of the
corresponding months of last year.
A. Deisler & Son say business is good.
They have had much funeral work.
Charles Luthy, who added magnolia
wreaths and artificial flowers to his
regular business when the prices of cut
flowers were so high, reports doing well
in the new lines, while at the same time
the demand for cut flowers, plants, etc.,
has been good. He is building wall
eases for the protection of the
.wreaths.
Joseph D. Kroehl, Jr., states that
business began to pick up about the
middle of January and has been good
since, though Lent has brought a little
dullness.
The S. A. Rogers Nursery Co. re-
ports that there has been quite a de-
mand for novelties during the last few
weeks. Stock for Japanese gardens
sells well.
August Begerow had a splendid win-
dow decoration last week. It was right
in line with the preparedness agitation.
In the middle of the window was a
miniature warship with turrets and tin
sailors. There also was a fort, bar-
racks, tin soldiers, flags, etc.

Seed Trade News
AXEBICAM SEED TSASE ASSOCIATION.
President, Jobn M. Lupton, Mattltuck, L. I.;
Becretary-TrtaBurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland O.
Thirty-fourth annual convention, Chicago, June
20 to 22, 1916.
■'''"■' ' ' "' ' ■ -™
Visited Chicago : Marshall H. Duryea,
of the Nungesser-Dickinson Seed Co.,
New York.
California growers believe next sea-
son will develop a stronger demand for
onion seed than any heretofore met.
The seed houses at Atlantic ports are
making, combined shipments by boat to
points whence local freight service can be
had to destinaton. It is slow, but it
beats the embargo.
In choosing a location for a seed store
in a city it should be noted that the rush
of counter sales is during the luncheon
hours and again at closing time. Get into
the oflBce building district.
Winter did not come to the Holland
bulb fields until after they had been un-
covered for spring. Two feet of snow is
thought to have prevented damage from
zero weather at the end of February,
Is the seed trade's disclaimer slowly
breaking down? In spite of the best
efforts of the trade to uphold it, each
new law requiring any sort of guarantee
or statement is a step in the other direc-
tion.
The congestion on eastern railroads is
felt as far west as the Missouri river and
shipments of seeds are being refused for
the reason that eastern roads vdll not
accept them at Chicago. The embargo
is to prevent congestion at the central
terminal.
Plans are being made by the Gate
City Seed Co., of Keokuk, la., for rebuild-
ing the warehouse recently destroyed by
fire. It is said that the new building
will cost in the neighborhood of $40,000.
The loss by fire last December was esti-
mated at $26,000.
The peak of the seed season almost
always falls in the second half of March ;
usually "big Monday" with the mail-
order houses is the fourth Monday in this
month. But this year, with most seeds-
men, including all of the catalogue houses
in the north, but especially the concerns
that do considerable counter trade, March
is far behind and the last week of the
month finds seed selling only fairly
started. If April does not break records
there will be much disappointment.
Eeports coming across the water in-
dicate that Great Britain is taking steps
to prevent, next season, evasions of the
embargo placed on seeds, plants and roots
of German origin. It is well known, for
instance, that exports of valley pips
avowedly of Danish or Dutch origin have
considerably exceeded the quantities ordi-
narily produced in those countries and it
is reported that British consular agents
are preparing to inspect the 1916 crops
in those countries for the purpose of lim-
iting the exports to the stock of known
neutral origin.
J. J. BuDLONG, head of the L. A. Bud-
long Co., Chicago, made a conspicuous
success of the market garden, pickle and
onion set businesses and then turned
banker, in which calling he also is mak-
ing a success. As president of the Lake
View Trust and Savings bank the first

f MEW JEBSEY BILI. NOW LAW.
I Qoverner Fielder last week signed
the bill which, while pending in the
New Jersey legislature, aroused so
much opposition in the seed trade of
the state. The bill was amended in a
few minor details as the result of a
hearing Febriiary 8, attended by many
seedsmen, but not enough to any way
lessen the objections to it.
The law is of great importance be-
cause for the first time it includes
garden seeds within its requirements
as to purity and germination and be-
cause the bill, drafted by an official of
the national organization of seed ana-
lysts, is sure to be the model for seed
legislation in other states. The grass
seed dealers have been the object of
regulatory legislation for so many years
the sensation is not new to them, and
this New Jersey law permits them to
sell anything they please so long as
they label it for what it is, but the
garden seed man is required to do some-
thing he never before has been asked to
do and which he believes to be impos-
sible. He is required to state on the
label of eacl^ parcel of one pound or
more the true varietal name, the per-
centage of germination at a stated date
of test and the percentage of purity.
No distinction is made in the case of
those seeds that are not distinguish-
able, one from another, by their ap-
pearance.
Whether or not a seedsman can be
compelled by law to warrant that of
which he states he gives no warranty
is one of the questions the courts will
have to determine as a result of the
signing of the New Jersey bill No, 34.

Burpee -Quality Seeds Help
Solve the Market Problem
1 1 is our pleasure to record a greatly improved market condi-
tion, and we confidently predict that 1916 will prove a most
prosperous sezison for the Market Grower.
Many causes contributed to the unsatisfactory vegetable
market of 1913, and it is eJso true that these same causes
created a most profitable market for Staples, such as Wheat,
Com, Oats, etc.
During 1915 we attended many meetings where market
growers gathered to formulate plans to overcome the then
prevailing unfavorable conditions. Much good resulted from
these conventions, as they have proved beyond question that
inferior produce in large quantities, dumped without thought
of quality or condition, has done more to demoralize
the markets than any other factor.
The discussions at these meetings have brought the
invariable conclusion that QueJity Produce did sell
— and sell well — at the highest price obtainable.
Quality Produce can no more be the harvest of inferior seed
than high-bred cattle can be the product of inferior or diseeised
stock.
Burpee's Seeds are known the world over as the American
vStandard of Excellence. When you buy Burpee's Seeds the ele-
ment of doubt is removed so far as is p>ossible by human care.
A careful canvass of our Market Grower friends hsis brought
this answer: "Yes, we certainly grew first-cleiss crops from
Burpee's Seeds."
The conclusion is inevitable: Burpee's Seeds grow Quality
Produce, and QueJity Produce brought good prices. Burpee's
Seeds help solve the market problem.
Did you use Burjiee's Seeds in 1915? If not, we earnestly
solicit your orders for 1916. The profit is mutual.
Burpee's Annual for 1916, our complete retail catalog of 182
pages, has already been mailed. If you have failed to receive
it, pleetse write us at once and a duplicate copy will be for-

into a contract in New York before the
European war was declared, agreeing to
deliver at New York or Boston mer-
chandise of Belgian origin. The de-
fendants are citizens of Germany, and
when sued for breach of the contract
pleaded as a complete defense that the
performance of the contract had been
pi-evented by hostilities between their
country and Belgium, which, under the
German law, prevented the exportation
of the merchandise or dealings with
Belgian industries. But the court ap-
plied the rule that impossibility of per-
formance of a contract due to a foreign
law is no excuse for nonperformance of
an agreement made and to be per-
formed in a neutral country. The de-
cision quotes the following statement
of a federal court: "The contracting
parties are subject to the contingencies
of changes in their own law and are
liable to have the execution of their
contracts prevented thereby, but it is
on the ground of illegality, not of im-
possibility. Prevention by the law of
a foreign country is not usually deemed
an excuse, when the act which was con-
templated by the contract was valid
in view of the law of the place where
it was made and, for stronger reasons,
when it also was valid at the place of
performance." S.
LAW ON TEItEGBAM EBBOBS.
When an order for seed is sent by
telegraph and, through mistake of an
operator, is delivered as calling for a
greater quantity than was intended, the
buyer who accepts delivery of the ex-
cess has no cause of action against the
telegraph company on account of the
mistake, according to a recent decision
of the Mississippi Supreme court.
The plaintiff, or buyer, ordered seed
corn from the Shenandoah Pure Seed
Co., of Shenandoah, la., by wire, send-
ing the following telegram: "Ship us
seventy-five bushels St, Charles White,
seventy-five bushels Silver Mine, 150
bushels Banner White, 200 bushels
Monoch of Iowa." This telegram,
when delivered, read as follows: "Ship
us seventy-five barrels St. Charles
White, seventy bushels Silver Mine, 150
bushels Banner White, 200 bushels
Monoch of Iowa."
The telegram, as sent, called for 500
bushels of seed corn worth $1.10 per
bushel, making a total of $550. The
telegram, as delivered to the seed com-
pany, called for 795 bushels. The com-
pany actually shipped 788 bushels,
billed at $1.10 per bushel. The buyer
could not sell this excess as seed corn,
but did sell it as feed corn at 70 cents
per bushel, entailing a loss of 40 cents
per bushel on the excess, or a total
loss of $115.20.
A draft for the cost of the shipment,
attached to an invoice and the bill of
lading, was presented and paid before
the seed was received, and, therefore,
the buyer knew before the shipment was
accepted that it was larger than he
had ordered. He brought suit against
the telegraph company to recover the
amount of his loss, but the courts de-
nied his right to recover on the ground
that his voluntary acceptance of the
excessive quantity constituted a waiver
of his claim against the telegraph com-
pany. S.

mains last week filled the greenhouses

use stunted or hard-stemmed plants. Our several varieties are
the best that grow. Choice seed of our original Silver Pink at
$1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet,
White, Yellow, Buxton and fancy mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

TOMATOES UNDEB OIjASS.
Training the Plants.
The easiest, readiest and most profit-
able method of training tomato plants
under glass is to grow them on the
simple cordon, removing all side
growths. They are supported by grow-
ing them up strings. The string, which
should be a strong cord, is tied firmly
but loosely around the plant under the
second leaf. The end of the string is
then carried up to the roof and firmly
tied to a lateral wire. The plant will
give a twist around the string from
time to time. Twice a week will be
sufficient during the growing season.

up the strings. Place a 12-inch screw,
such as is used for cucumber vines,
twelve inches from the base of the
rafter, another halfway up and a third
at the height to which you intend the
tomatoes to grow. Tie the string
around the base of the tomato plant
under the second leaf, and then hitch
it firmly to each wire. Give the vines
a twist around the string and they will
have sufficient support for a plentiful
crop of fruit. The object aimed at is
efficiency, utility and economy.
Sdemtlfic Feeding.
The tomato will stand more feeding
than most growers realize, providing it
is done on a common-sense line. Science
is organized common sense. We want
to sell fruit; we cannot sell the foliage.
At the same time, healthy foliage is
necessary to a good crop of fruit. Let
US remember three things: First, ni-
trate promotes growth; second, phos-
phate gives fruitfulness and early ma-
turity; third, potash gives quality and
flavor.

tomato grower. In the early stages of
the plant it is best and safest to use
it in the shape of bone meal. Later,
as the plants develop, superphosphate,
in the form of rock phosphate, is best,
as its action is quicker and it is more
valuable. Most phosphates are accom-
panied with a guarantee of fourteen per
cent solubility, wHch is sufficient for
our purpose.
Nitrogen is best applied in the form
of good bone meal, for the early stages
of the growth. A good bone meal will
contain four and one-half per cent of
ammonia, which will be sufficient until
the plants are heavily fruited. If ni-
trogen is required then, in a quick-act-

best. Being organic, it gives better re-
sults than inorganic ammonia for to-
mato culture. Potash can be applied
in the form of kelp from seaweed;
wood ashes in the form of kainit,
muriate of potash or sulphate of pot-
ash. Sulphate of potash is readily ap-
plied and easily obtained. It is in the
form of a salt.
A Componnded Fertilizer.
For those who have no intimate
knowledge of raw, artificial or organic
prepared manures, it is better to use
some good compounded manure. A good
potato fertilizer will answer the pur-
pose quite well. For the general dress-
ing of the tomato soil, a compounded
manure may contain: Phosphate,
twenty-eight per cent, fourteen per cent
soluble; ammonia, six per cent; potash,
five per cent. Apply at the rate of
three ounces to the square yard of
bench, once a month.
In the open on the average tilled
ground a dressing of superphosphate
drilled into the rows where the toma-
toes are planted, at the rate of two
tons to the acre or about seven ounces
to every nine feet run of the rows, will
be sufficient. This will promote early
fruitfulness and maturity. F. E. B.

JUDaMENT
(Continued.)
Well, this good hearted, sympathetic
friend who said he "mighta married"
me eighteen years ago, would have had
a slim chance to have dragged me out
of the school room; his sympathy went
the limit of a joke with me, as he
looked upon me as a lonesome "Bulb
Peddler," traveling around because it
was possibly the only thing I could do.
Bless his good heart; this is the
kindness that is usually- wasted and is
far from sincerity.
He is the kind of man who con-
siders a woman a weakling, and in a
million years he would not give me an
order. Why! Because he has the
wrong idea of a woman in business.
After I surveyed his character I sud-
denly had to catch a train and made a
speedy "get-away."
Never would I want his order nor
from anyone else on the sympathy
platform; the foundation of the pat-
ronage is too weak to endure.
Business is the same old thing for
the woman as for the man, and every
real business man knows it. QUALITY,
PBICE and SERVICE are roadways to
success; and any wise girl knows skirts
are not a good drawing card.

Santa Barbara^ OatL — Arthuil Beverley,
of the Mission Park Nursery, is going
more into the culture of cut flowers, for
which there is a greatly increasing de-
mand. Mr. Beverley's soil is light and
well adapted to the cultivation of early
developing stock. He reports business
as above the average.
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
There was more or less slump to
business last week, but a brisk demand
for funeral work kept stock from ac-
cumulating. Staple lines are about as
last mentioned, but among the new-
comers last week were some magnificent
German irises. Early Iris Ksempferi,
too, was seen on some of the whole-
salers' tables, as well as a magnificent
lot of late tulips. In potted stock,
hyacinths are showy and good, while
rhododendrons and Easter liUes are al-
ready appearing. Pot lilacs have not
been so good as usual this year, but
they are better now than at any pre-
vious time. Greens are plentiful, the
shortage in plumosus having passed.
The common marigold and blue corn-
flower make a pretty combination in
t^e cheaper flowers. Outdoor Cecile
Brunner roses are coming in, helping to
offset the shortage in good corsage
flowers.
Various Notes.
The shortage of Asparagus plumosus
has led many growers to consider the
possibility of increasing their plant-
ings of this popular green. Harry
Bailey, of Montebello, has decided to
cover an additional acre with lath for
this purpose. The lath house will be
higher than usually built, in order to
take care of seed growing as well as
greens, if this becomes necessary.
The usual meeting of the Pasadena
Horticultural Society was held in the
board of trade rooms March 17, with a
Igood attendance. After the usual busi-
ness meeting had bee^i held, B. Mc-
Kenzie gave an interesting lecture on
ferns, bringing with him to illustrate
his remarks a number of fronds of the
finer adiantums. A. Farleyense and its
culture were gone into by Mr. McKen-
zie, his remarks showing him to be an
observant fern lover, while the fronds
were evidence of his skill as a culti-
vator. He has, of course, long been
known as a skilled orchid grower. A
rising vote of thanks was tendered him
for his able paper and an instructive
debate took place among those present.
Among the members present from Los
Angeles were J. McGilvray, Hal
Kruckeberg, H. R. Eichards, J. White-
head and J. M. Grant. An invitation
was given the Pasadena brethren to at-
tend the quarterly smoker of the Los
Angeles Horticultural Society, to be
held April 8. A few bunches of Rain-
bow freesias from Alois Frey, of Monte-
bello, were shown.
A visit to Coolidge's Rare Plant Gar-
dens, on Colorado street, Pasadena, is
always of interest and especially just
now, when a number of the rarer shrubs
are in bloom. One of the prettiest
things in bloom is the red-leaved and
red-flowered crabapple, both foliage and
flbwer being extremely attractive. The
Coolidge variety of feijoa, or pineapple
guava, is a splendid fruit, as large as a
small pear and of excellent flavor. Mr.
Coolidge says he hopes to see thousands
of acres of this planted before he dies.
More unlikely things have happened,
for the fruit is good and Mr. Coolidge
is a live one for a long span yet. He
is making quite a study of the
ceanothus, both wild varieties and gar-
den hybrids. Herbaceous plants, vines
and all classes of ornamental stock are
included. An instructive and pleasant
time is assured to all who call.
Geo. W. Smith, formerly of Howard &
Smith, has purchased five acres of fine
land close to the foothills west of
Hollywood, on the Santa Monica boule-
vard. The land is practically frostless
and at the first blush appears to be too
valuable for nursery purposes, but situ-
ated as it is on a fine boulevard much
used by automobilists, the advertising
value will be great and the land 's value
will increase rapidly. Mr. Smith pur-
poses erecting greenhouses and lath
houses there, the whole to form a feeder
for his Figueroa street store. The Wall
street place he now occupies will be
given up shortly. Mr. Smith reports
trade as excellent all along the line
and classes February of this year as the
best in the history of his business.
J. Eolleri, of the California Cut
Flower & Evergreen Co., has been in San
Francisco, San Jose and Santa Cruz
the last two weeks, looking over the
green situation and incidentally look-
ing up stock for the rapidly increasing
business. Walter Garbett is in charge
during his absence. The latter reports
trade as excellent. They have taken
practically the whole of C. Brazee's
cut of daffodils this year and are now
handling some magnificent tulips from
this noted grower.
L. Lecluse, of Hollywood, and for-
merly of Nebraska, has joined L. Trux-
ler at the University Nurseries, on
Vermont avenue, where they intend
going into the nursery and florists' busi-
ness. Although this place has gone
through some changes during the last
few years, Mr. Truxler was established
here for a long time and it has a good
local reputation. Mr. Lecluse is a hard
worker and doubtless they will succeed.
S. Murata, of Murata & Co., says his
company is going to be better prepared
to handle Easter business this year than
ever before, having made large pur-
chases of lilies and other stock for this
date. This is one of the few concerns
that report business better this year
than last. Large shipments of roses,
carnations and irises are being handled
this week.
C. Lewis is still on hand at the store
of the Freeman-Lewis Co., but intends
starting on an eastern trip shortly.
George Watson is getting large crops
of splendid carnations from the new
houses at Covina junction. He is ship-
ping large quantities of the old stand-
ard kinds as well as many of the novel-
ties, as he finds he has more than his
local trade will take care of.
Alois Frey, of Crown Point, Ind., left
March 21 for home. Mr. Frey has
again contracted with J. Dieterich for
land for growing his Rainbow freesias
next year.
H. W. Turner is growing a far greater
number of roses this year than ever
before for selling in young stock. Not
only the indoor forcing kinds, but also
the outdoor kinds are getting atten-
tion and he is making a big drive
with the polyantha and other baby
types. It is interesting in this connec-
tion to note what a number of roses

The Market.
Business in general continues rather
quiet, though last week brought several
good funeral orders and some shops had
many dinner dec6rations. Flowers con-
tinue plentiful, though there is not such
a flood of cheap stock as for some
weeks previous. Daffodils are rather
scarce and, while some late stock is
still to come, they soon will be entirely
off crop. FrMllaB also are going off,
but late narcissi hold out well. Ranun-
culi and anemones are excellent and
plentiful. Some fine ixias are appear-
ing, with a large crop in sight. Sweet
peas are a prominent feature this sea-
son, and some of the stock is fine.
Carnations are good and plentiful, and
nearly all rose growers are bringing in
a large cut, and the demand is better
than it has been. Good stock of all va-
rieties moves well. Violets are on the
wane, but they still are sufficient for
local needs. This is a big lilac season,
and the shipping demand helps to keep
up the prices. Fruit blossoms are about
gone, while many tamarack and heather
blooms are seen. Tulips are plentiful
and cheap, and only an occasional lot
shows much merit. Many cut hyacinths
are used. Few Spanish irises are seen
as yet, but other varieties show up
well. Large quantities of Easter lilies
are moved, but there are too many of
them to clean up readily. Many kinds
of wild flowers are used in considerable
quantities. Cattleyas are a trifle scarce,
but are not in great demand. There is
a large cut of phatenopsis and a fair
supply of gardenias cleans up quickly.
Valley is scarce. Peonies are fine and
bring fair prices, though the crop is
large. In potted stock there is consid-
erable variety. The larger items in-
clude rhododendrons, lilacs, rambler
roses and wistarias, as well as heather
of all sizes. Small begonias are begin-
ning to come in freely, and primulas of
various types are keeping up to the
average. Cut adiantum is in good de-
mand, while Asparagus plumosus is
coming in better. Plants for bedding
are in strong demand at retail, and
many florists are making this an im-
portant feature, handling a large va-
riety of stock.
Various Notes.
Daniel MacRorie, president of the
S. A. F., went east early in March,
and A. J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi &

the flower show at Philadelphia on be-
half of the Pacific Coast Horticultural
Society.
Stephen B. Cooper, familiarly known
as "Hiney, " who for many years has
been with Mark Ebel at Sacramento,
has decided that he prefers the bay
climate, and expects to locate in San
Francisco.
Mark Ebel, who was in town last
week, is boosting the celebration to be
held at Sacramento May 11 to 13 for
the opening of the Yolo Causeway,
which will be a big thing for the flo-
rists. Arrangements have already been
made with some of the Sacramento flo-
rists for the decoration of floats and

Frank D, Pelicano has been shipping
out a lot of dahlia tubers every day
for several weeks, and has received
some nice orders from the east, as well
as from all over the coast. He says
A most gratifying feature of the busi-
ness is the promptness with which pay-
ments have been arriving.
Pelicano, Rossi & Co. have closed a
deal for the purchase of a lot on Powell
street, near Ellis, partly occupied by
the Golden West hotel, at a reported
price of $150,000. They held the prop-
erty under a long lease, but aa the
owner desired to sell they decided to
take it over, entirely as an investment.
C. Kooyman now is taking orders for
Purity freesia bulbs, and has about a
million that he expects to dispose of
this year. The stock has been un-
<U8ually fine.
Frank G. Cuthbertson, of C. C. Morse
& Co., reports abundant evidence of the
impetus given the flower seed business
by the exposition, and with this and
the sweet pea show coming on he says
sales of Spencer sweet peas at the local
store will break all records.
Podesta & Baldocchi are working out
several improvements in the decorative
features of their store.
B. M. Joseph's establishment on
<3rant avenue a few days ago received
a rather notable order, being the first
•ever received by a Pacific coast florist
from New York by telephone. The cus-
tomer was a prominent New York
banker, who had visited the exposition
last year and had received a favorable
impression of the San Francisco trade

The Florists^ Review
March 30, 1916.
PORTLAND, ORE.
The Market.
Even for March the weather last
week was freakish and unusually dis-
agreeable. Heavy rains interfered with
outdoor work and delayed shipping
from the nurseries. The general de-
mand for flowers showed an improve-
ment over the first half of the month
and funeral work was unusually brisK.
There was hardly enough stock to meet
the calls. The first blooming hydran-
geas hav6 appeared, in white and light
pink shades.
Club Meeting,
Although the weather was stormy,
the meeting of the Portland Floral So-
ciety, held March 21, was well at-
tended. Three new members were
admitted. A request from one of Ore-
gon's congressmen asking the society
to endorse his bill for 1-cent postage on
letters for local delivery was tabled as
being of a nature outside the club's
sphere of activities.
The president reported that since the
last meeting the publicity committee
had published five articles in the spe-
cial garden sections of the Sunday
newspapers; that the papers were glad
to print such matter and that several
articles were planned to appear later,
when they will be most timely.
Manager Julius Dossche and Secre-
tary F. A. Van Kirk of the floral cen-
ter planned for the rose festival, June
6 to 9, reported that the festival gov-
ernors were depending on the center for
the chief attraction of the festival and
had appropriated nearly one-third of
the festival funds for that purpose.
All contracts for stock to fill the spaces
have been signed and special stock is
under growth for them.
The growers' committee urged all
members to furnish the committee's
secretary with the names and addresses
of their customers for entry in the
record. Cases of delinquency in pay-
ment of due accounts should be re-
ported promptly. Information as to
the standing of anyone in the record
will be given any member by Secretary
Van Kirk.
Information was sought by members
who had been aaked for advice about
subscribing to shares in Schoener's
Scientific Gardens as an investment.
The discussion brought out the fact
that no one present had knowledge of
the work at the gardens suflicient to
form an opinion, and several speakers
urged that all members visit the gar-
dens frequently during the summer and
see for themselves what is being ac-
complished.
The first entertainment feature was
a talk by H. E. Weed on the changes
in plant nomenclature, as shown in the
new volumes of Bailey's Cyclopedia of
Horticulture. Changes in spelling, pro-
nunciation, endings and even of family
names was noted. The plant euonymus
is now evonymus, as it was half a
century ago. Most of the azaleas are
now included in the rhododendron
family.
Reports by growers on the relative
costs of fir wood, coal and briquettes
showed that there was not any notice-
able difference in the expense of heat-
ing with any one of these fuels.
The question box brought the follow-
ing queries jnd replies: Does a light
frost harm young carnation plants!
Yes, according to the experiences of

several. Does Carbolineum Avenarius
used on benches preserve the woodt It
does, if applied when hot. Will the
preservative injure plants? Appar-
ently so in some cases; other cases show
no ill effects. One case was cited in
which it had stopped fungoid troubles
in a cutting bench. Is it advisable to
recommend early planting outdoors of
dry canna roots? No; many are lost
due to rotting of the eyes.

It was announced that Treasurer

Fy>rt7-flrst annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 28 to 80. lOie.
The congestion on eastern railroads is
imposing a serious hardship on nurseries
in that territory. Shipments to the west
are the only ones moving with the usual
celerity arid it even is difficult to obtain
cars as wanted.
Although the planting of big orchards
is not progressing at anything like the
pace of ten or even five years ago, never-
theless the fruit tree specialist is kept
fairly busy. The farmers are planting
more fruit every year.
The volume of orders on hand indi-
cates that the average nurseryman will do
well to get through any considerable part
of the spring work. Zero in the third
week of March at such places as New
York and Philadelphia is not encouraging
to the planter.
OAIiLS EASTERN STOCK MENACE.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, through the federal horti-
cultural board, has sent all eastern
nurserymen an urgent request not to
ship white pines, currants and goose-
berries west of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas. This action has been taken
in order to protect the white pine for-
ests of the west from the white pine
blister rust without, if possible, the
imposition of a burdensome plant quar-
antine. At a conservative estimate,
the value of the government and pri-
vate holdings in these forests is $240,-
000,000. They would be in serious dan-
ger if the white pine blister ru8t,which
^ now has gained a foothold in six east-
ern states and is suspected in the Ohio
valley, should spread to the Rocky
mountains. Gooseberries and currants
are included in the department's re-
quest because they can carry the dis-
ease as well as the white pine itself.
At the same time, the department
has issued a warning to the states with-
in the range of the western white
pines, of the danger of allowing nur-
sery stock of these three kinds, from
eastern nurseries, to enter their terri-
tory. Inspectors of all western states
have been asked to notify the federal
horticultural board of any shipments
from points east of the states named.
The reason for this action is that the
white pine blister rust, a destructive
disease to all white pines, occurs also
in a different form, as a leaf disease on
currants and gooseberries. These two
plants, therefore, may carry the dis-
ease to new regions and infect local
white pine. Like citrus canker and
chestnut blight, the white pine blister
rust was brought to this country on
imported nursery stock, before the pas-
sage of the federal Plant Quarantine
Act.
The department, in its letter to nur-
serymen, points out that if no ship-
ments of these three plants are made
from infected or suspected territory in-
to the west, further action may be un-
necessary. If, however, nurserymen
igfnore this request, it is practictdly cer-

The Market.
Stock is good and plentiful in the
market, -with the demand about the
same as a week ago. Prices have
dropped to a point where buyers al-
most dictate them. The shipping busi-
ness is holding up nicely. Boses, in-
cluding American Beauties, are in
large supply and are of good quality.
Carnations are more plentiful than they
have been for some time. Easter lilies
still are rather scarce. Many short
ones are coming in, but they are not
in the best of condition. Sweet peas
are in heavy supply, that is, so numer-
ous that it is utterly impossible to
move all of them, even at the rea-
sonable prices that prevail. Valley is
experiencing a slow market, while or-
chids do not move at all. A fair quan-
tity of small bulbous stock may be
had. Most of it is in excellent condi-
tion. Other offerings include callas,
snapdragon and mignonette. Leucothoe
is experiencing a temporary shortage.

More Profit In Flowers
The sooner your cut flowers are marketed
the larger your profits. The display which
appeals will sell them. Every florist's experi-
ence confirms this statement.
If it were possible for you to compare the value of
a refrigerator that really preserved with one that
wasted stock and ice you would be astonished at
the difference in dollars and cents during the year.
The poor refrigerator which may have cost less at the
start would show up mighty expensive in the end.

flower is 3^s inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the En-
chantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the
1st of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
Booted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is (]2.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1600 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively to rooted cuttings.

lovely foliage and such superb blooms
as are seldom or never seen under glass.
Mr. Turner reports the biggest ship-
ping season he ever had.
Business continues brisk with the
nursery department of the Germain
Seed & Plant Co. and several new land-
scape contracts have been secured.
Finely flowered plants of rhododen-
drons are now being sent in from the
nursery on the Whittier road. These
meet with a ready demand, both whole-
sale and retail. Preparation and plant-
ing of more ground is still going on.
The Los Angeles Floral Co. reports
out-of-town shipping as keeping up re-
markably well, though the city trade
has not been so good last week.
The Redondo Floral Co. obtained a
large shipment of lilacs from the
Blumve ranch last week. These were
tastefully grouped in the window of
the store on Seventh street. As a bor-
der for the display, forget-me-nots, Ce-
cile Brunner roses and white camellias
were arranged in the new hand-carved
Swiss vases. This window was greatly
admired and much commented on by
eastern visitors and Californians who
have lived in the east, as it reminded
them of their old homes where the
lilacs flourish. And, speaking of lilacs,
I have never seen them do so well in
California as this season. Possibly the
wet January kept the buds swelling and
soft, but, whatever the reason, the re-
sult is most satisfactory.

showing and says business is keeping

flhow up well at the shops and meet a
good demand. His rambler roses are
quite an attraction, though he has sent
in no large ones as yet.
The MacRorie-McLaren Co. now is
conducting the Fairmont Floral Co., of
which it recently acquired control, un-
der its own name. A number of im-
provements are being made in the store,
including the construction of a mez-
zanine floor in the rear and some at-
tractive decorative features. A formal
opening will be held April 18, "ten
years after" the big fire. It is ex-
pected that the store decorations for
this occasion will surpass anything of
the kind ever shown in San Francisco.
The display already includes many ex-
amples of the company's finest stock,
such as Pink Pearl rhododendrons and
choice selections of a cut from 14,000
Phakenopsis Schilleriana plants. F. C.
Jaeger remains as manager of the store.
Frank H. Forrest, formerly of the old
California Florist Shop, in the St.
Francis hotel, is taking charge of the
window decoration and looking after
the front of the store. Ernest Stover,
formerly with the Hannon shop, on Polk
street, is a new member of the force.
A notable social decoration recently
was executed by A. O. Stein for the
ball to celebrate the debut of Miss
Margaret Koshland, at the family home
on Washington street. All decorations
were designed to harmonize with the
setting, which was modeled after the
style of the Petit Trianon. The affair
included an early dinner to 124 guests
and a midnight supper for 144. The
general decoration consisted of garlands
ard wreaths in the French style, of
flowers in pastel shades, intertwined
with electric lights and covered with
butterflies. The tables were covered
with blue satin in three shades and
pink chiffon, delicately garlanded with
baby roses of pink and blue chiffon.
The stock used included heather, rhodo-
dendron and azalea blooms, hyacinths
and roses. Several members of Mr.
Stein's force were kept busy for sev-
eral days on the job.
M. Poss, who recently took over the
H. G. Hardy place at San Mateo, is
getting a good start, and is making
some extensive improvements to the
place, with a view to growing a good
deal of his own stock, as he under-
stands both ends of the business. He
now is setting out about an acre of
outside stock and has work well under
way on two greenhouses. S. H. Q.

EASTER PLANTS
Our stock of Easter Plants has never been so fine as this year; careful
selection and good growing have enabled us to offer to our customers the
finest stock of plants that can be seen anywhere, of good commercial sizes
and at the right prices for good stock. Don't delay ordering, as
good Easter stock will be scarce this year owing to the fact that some grow-
ers were afraid that they could not hold their stock back until the 23rd of
April, while others only planted half their usual Easter stock, so they could
grow their spring stock.

PORTLAND NOTES.
[Continued from page 98.]
Forty-ninth and Belmont streets.
C. Tonseth handles the downtown store.
The high wind accompanying the
thunder shower March 19 did some dam-
age to Sam Roake 's home at Clackamas,
but did not damage the Rahn & Herbert
greenhouses.
The issuance of a marriage license to
F. V. Sanders and Mary E. Bodman
confirmed the suspicions of the crew at
the Clarke Bros, store, that "Felty"
Sanders, one of their number, intended
to get married. "Felty" denies the
charge and says appearances are decep-
tive.
W. S. Van Doren, a florist of Post
Falls, Idaho, visited Portland last week.
He says business in his location has im-
proved since the first of the year. He
makes a specialty of roses in his green-
house range.
The funeral of Geo. W. Bates, held
March 23, was the occasion for the
most elaborate display of floral offer-
ings seen in Portland for some time.
Nearly every downtown store had or-
ders for it, but the most of the larger
Sieces were made by Clarke Bros, and
lartin & Forbes. Orchids, valley, calla
and Easter lilies, adiantum, violets and
sweet peas were used so extensively
that the market was cleared of them.
Hundreds of roses, tulips and hyacinths
also were used. A casket cover of val-
ley, orchids and violets, with adiantum
and plumosus, was one of the pieces
from Clarke Bros.
Julius Broetje brought in some
branches of Japanese cherry in bloom
last week. They were seen at Max
Smith 's store.
Some splendid cinerarias are shown.
Some of the best ones come from Wil-
liam Hoffmann.
E. R. Chappell reports business as
being good at his store in the Broad-
way building.
Niklas & Son last week displayed
some good single-bloom hydrangeas.
S. C. Shearer, of the Erie Green-
houses, says he met with no loss from
the cold weather. His range is new
and stood the weight of wind and
snow well. S. W. W.
Madison, Wis. — A Moninger house,
25x100 feet, has been completed bv
G. W. Smith, of 2023 Sherman avenue.

CLEVELAND.
The Market.
The market continues to be steady.
The demand for roses, carnations and
bulbous stock about equals the supply.
Lilies and valley, however, are short in
supply.
Vaiious Notes.
The Cleveland party to the National
Flower Show included M. A. Vinson,
Fred C. Witthuhn, Walter Witthuhn,
Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Knoble, George Bate,
Guy Bate, Herbert Bate, F. W. Ziech-
mann, John Kirchner and son, and
Frank A. Friedley. Mr. and Mrs.
Walter E. Cook, C. F. Bartels and
F. C. W. Brown left earlier in the
week, and John Merkel left March 28.
James Eadie and his son, Marshall, left
March 27.
A. B. Barber has been appointed
secretary of the Cleveland Florists'
Club, to succeed Frank A. Friedley, and
A. C. Fox, treasurer, to succeed Geo. W.
Smith. Both Mr. Friedley and Mr.
Smith resigned owing to the pressure
of business. The club has increased
from a membership of thirty-six to 160
during the last five years.
The cool weather of the last four
weeks has retarded bulbous stock to the
extent that there now is a prospect of
holding it back for Easter sales. Lilies,
rambler roses, lilacs, hydrangeas and
azaleas are in extra fine condition this
season. The outlook for a big Easter
business is good. F. A. F.
PITTSBUEGH.
The Market.
Business has decreased somewhat, but
still is good for the season. Stock of
all kinds moves nicely, excepting vio-
lets and Beauties. The high prices seem
to have weaned many from Beauties,
and now these do not seem to move
even at lower prices. Otherwise the
market clears nicely.
Various Notes.
Everybody seems to have gone to the
National Flower Show at Philadelphia.
A number of tradesmen on their way
to the Philadelphia show, via Pitts-
burgh, stopped oflf and called on the
trade. The following were among the
visitors: Charles Baum and Karl Baum,
of Knoxville, Tenn.;.John Evans, of
Richmond, Ind.; Charles Netsch, of
Buffalo, N. Y,; Julius Dilloff, of Schloss
Bros., New York; A. Lange, of Chicago.
BEGONIA Gloire de Chatelaine
We find that we have a. surplus of 50,0(X) Gloire de Chatelaine Be-
gonias, which we oflfer for the next two weeks, or until disposed of, at
a special price of $2.00 per 100 for 2-incb and $3.00 per 100 for Scinch.

Greenhouse Heating.
WATER BOILS OVEB.
Last fall I installed a hot water
boiler to heat about 800 feet of 2-inch
pipes. As the greenhouses are located
on a hill and the boiler shed is at the
foot of the hill, I had to put the ex-
pansion tank on the highest point of
the greenhouses, attached to the main
feeding pipe. Everything works satis-
factorily until the water gets quite
hot; thjen it escapes through the expan-
sion tank instead of returning to the
boiler. Could I use a closed tank in-
stead of an open one and would that
prevent the loss of water, or is there a
better way to remedy the trouble!
C, A. D.— Ohio.
Judging from the description given,
it w6uld appear that the simplest way
to correct the difficulty would be to use
a closed system, or to attach a mercury
generator to the pipe leading to the
expansion tank. However, if the size
of the boiler and the number and size
of the heating pipes are properly ad-
justed, there should be no serious
trouble from this cause. If C. A. D.
will furnish a more definite description
of the system, with the capacity, or at
least the grate area, of the boiler, and
the number, size and arrangement of
the pipes, we may be able to offer some
suggestions which will lessen the tend-
ency to "boil over."
STEAM FOB THBEE HOUSES.
Will you kindly tell me how many
feet of radiation will be needed in
three houses, each 25x84 and twelve
feet high to the ridge T The sides are
four and one-half feet high and con-
tain two feet of glass above two and
one-half feet of wooden wall. The east
ends of the houses are exposed; the
west ends are protected by a lean-to.
Will a 25-horsepower, low-pressure, re-
turn tubular steel boiler heat these
houses to a temperature of 55 degrees?
The outside temperature here seldom
drops to 10 degrees below zero. I ex-
pect to use a gravity system for the
returns. C. F. B.— Ohio.
If each of the houses has two feet
of glass in each side wall, we would use
one 2-inch overhead supply pipe, run-
ning to the farther end of the house,
and connect it by means of l^^-inch
pipes with two coils, each containing
five 1^-inch returns, on the side walls,
or a part of them might be under the

if but one wall is exposed. There will
be less than 500 square feet of radia-
tion in each house and there should be
no difficulty in maintaining the tem-
perature desired with a 25-horsepower
boiler, although if a little larger boiler
were used it would require less atten-
tion.
ABOUT MEBCUBY QENEBATOBS.
Please inform me in what way mer-
cury is used to put water under pres-
sure. Do we get more heat from the
pipes when the extra pressure is thus
applied! Will water heat more quickly
when fresh than it will after being in
the pipes for several months?
S. D.— Me.
There are now on the market several
mercury generators, or circulators. They
are connected with the pipe leading to
the expansion tank, and result in plac-
ing the water in the system under pres-
sure.
In an open hot water system, when
the expansion tank is practically at the
level of the piping, the water will be
under the ordinary atmospheric pressure
and will boil at 212 degrees, but if the
expansion tank is elevated thirty-four
feet the pressure will equal two atmos-
pheres, or thirty pounds per square
inch, and under that pressure water
will not boil until it reaches 251 de-
grees, or 39 degrees higher than in an
open tank system. Mercury is 13.6
times as heavy as water; hence, instead
of using a column of water thirty-four

feet high in order to secure an addi-
tional pressure of fifteen pounds, it
may be obtained by substituting a col-
umn of mercury thirty inches high.
This will make it possible to add 30 de-
grees to the temperature of the water
in the system, and the efficiency of the
radiating surface will be increased to
that extent.
However, this does not imply that
the efficiency of a given heating plant
will be increased to that extent by
merely placing the water under pres-
sure by means of a mercury generator,
or some similar device. The word "gen-
erator" is a misnomer, since the mer-
cury apparatus does not generate heat.
It merely makes it possible for the
water to absorb and distribute a greater
amount of heat, and before this can be
d6ne we must provide a boiler of suffi-
cient heating capacity and must fur-
nish an adequate amount of fuel from
which the heat may be generated. From
the fact that the water in a closed sys-
tem may be heated to a higher tem-
perature than in an open system, we
can, of course, get more heat from it.
This makes it possible to reduce the
amount of radiation required, as com-
pared with an open system.

"will heat more quickly when fresh
than it will after being in the pipes
for several months," from a practical
standpoint that will make little differ-
ence, since the air found in fresh water
is quickly driven out when it is heated,
after which it will heat at the same
rate as water which has been boiled for
weeks and months.

Various Notes.
Miss H. B. Whitted left March 23 for
the National Flower Show at Philadel-
phia. Monday, March 20, Mrs. Taylor,
wife of the president of the Florists'
Club and sister of Miss Whitted, had a
narrow escape from asphyxiation.
"When going into the basement of her
home she was overcome by escaping
gas fumes. Mr. Taylor found her in
extremis. She has recovered and is
none the worse for the experience.
W. F. Holmes, of iSouth Seventh
street, is doing a splendid trade. He
puts plenty of energy into the business
and deserves great success. Smartly
dressed windows are always a feature.

ity in his seed department.

A reform surely is nee de.d.
The New York Florists turned their
windows into a Dutch garden last week.
It was ablaze with hyacinths, narcissi
and tulips. The number of people who
paused to admire it was a sure proof
of its efficiency. Efficiency beats ef-
fervescence; effervescence loses essence;
essence is the pith of business*.
The local papers are having a fine
time with the enlarged advertisements
of the florists.
Max Kaiser, of the Merriam Park
Greenhouses, probably has the best
stock of Easter plants he ever had.
Max does apply the "kultur. "
[Last week hyacinths in pots were a
drag on the market. Carnations cost
from $1.50 to $4 per hundred, for good
whites. Spiraea plants are now; appear-

more or less risky as a crop, as the
public are fickle as regards them.

The Rorists' Review
Mabch 30, 1916.
BALTIMOBE.
Tlid Market.
Market conditions are good, and while
no large supply of stock is coming in all
that arrives is moved at fair prices.
There was quite a demand for white of
any kind, especially stock suitable for
funeral work. Roses are in fair supply,
with the demand taking nearly every-
thing in sight. The larger grades sold
rather under their value. White was
shy, but pink was plentiful. Carna-
tions still are insufficient to supply all
demands. In bulbous stock tulips have
shortened in supply and are not moving
any too well. Daffodils are fewer, but
their absence is not felt. The green
situation is uncertain, smilax being poor
and hard to secure, while asparagus is
of poorer quality, decreasing in quan-
tity and increasing in price.
Club Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held March 27. The attendance
left much to be desired. The main topics
were the National Flower Show and
Billy Sunday. The club decided to at-
tend the services of the evangelist in
a body and will have 300 seats reserved.
Robert L. Graham is in charge of ar-
rangements and will notify all mem-
bers of the time and the place to meet,
so that members may enter the hall in
a body. Arthur S. Richmond, Henry
Betz and W. H. Jennings were elected
to membership.
The new members' buttons were on
hand and were distributed to those
present.
Various Notes.
A large party left Baltimore March
29 to attend the National Flower Show
at Philadelphia. There also were many
who visited the show later, being able
to go with the club.
The Seidewitz Flower Shop reports
a busy week with funeral orders. Wil-
liam E. Seidewitz has started a kennel
and breeding farm for collie dogs at
Arlington. He won a number of blue
ribbons at the recent dog show.
George S. Kalb, who has been con-
fined to his home for some weeks, is
able to be around again.
Mrs. Charles H. Cook has been con-
fined to her home for three weeks with
a bad cold, which settled in her head
and affected her hearing. Under the
doctor's care she is steadily improving.
Charles F, Feast and George Morri-
son were among those selected to act as
judges at the National Flower Show.
Miss Bessie Whitehill has opened a
store on Bolton street, near North
avenue.
John Nuth motored to the Philadel-
phia show. Members of his party were
James Glass, J. J. Perry and Edward
Kress. W. F. E.

DIRT BANDS
Very soon every grower will be mak-
ing free use of dirt bands for the grow-
ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist
can afford to pass them by. They are
time and money savers, producing better
plants at less cost and with less labor.
It simply is a question of getting the
best band.
Our new EEADY-USE dirt band tells
its own story. Send a postal for free
samples and see how it does it. It comes
to you ready to set the plant in, which
means saving of very valuable time re-
quired to fold the ordinary strips of
paper commonly offered for bands.
We make plain bands, too, from high-
grade, hard finish stock. Samples will
be sent. Compare them with others and
put them to any test. It is not how
cheap, but how good, is our motto.

;/ Tlie Market.
«
* The Lenten season does not seem to
affect business to any extent, for all
.plants and cut flowers are moving brisk-
ly. A large number of funerals has
helped to make the demand for flow-
ers strong. Spring has opened with
warm days and warm rains. Trees are
leafing dSt, the grass is green and the
outdoor roses are budding. The rose
and carnation crops are good and bulb-
ous-stock will soon be gone. It will
•be hard to hold Easter stock back, with
the exception of lilies, which promise
to be about right.
Various Notes.
The next meeting of the Florists'
Club will be held April 12, at Miss
Nellie Goodge 's greenhouses.
C. L. Niednagel is cutting a large
quantity of roses of fine quality.
The Blackman Floral Co. is having
good cuts of roses and carnations. Busi-
ness is good.
Karl Zeidler has had considerable
funeral work of late. He has a large
stock of spring plants.
Austin Wallace is cutting exception-
ally fine carnations from solid beds.
The plants are in fine shape.
Royston & Fenton report a good busi-
ness in coleus. They have not had nearly
enough of Brilliancy to supply the de-
mand.
C. Morgan, of the Morgan Floral Co.,
at Henderson, was a recent visitor.

The Market.
Business has been good, considering
the weather. The first day of spring
was accompanied by a heavy fall of
snow — the heaviest of the year. Plenty
of good stock is on hand, with the
exception of Beauties and smilax.
Violets are in fine condition and plen-
tiful. Sweet peas of all grades and
varieties are shown, the best long-
stemmed Spencers finding a ready mar-
ket.
Various Notes.
The Wealthy Street Floral Co. had
a fine display of plants and spring
flowers last week.
Arthur F. Crabb has had several
large funeral orders lately.

■ " No money need be paid in advance and you need not keep the outfit if you are not perfectly satis-
fied that it is the best thing in its line. No other device mends SPLIT CARNATIONS so quickly and easily,
without injuring the flower or impairing its keeping qualities. We have hundreds of testimonials like these:

"These Clips are flne."-Crabb & Hunter Floral Co.
"A saife proposition to send on trial."— Bird Forrest.
"They are certainly fine, they work like magic."— I. Dunford.
Perhaps the best testimonial of all is the host of growers, large and small, who send us their orders re-
peatedly for Clips and say very little about it to anyone. Can't we count you among our customers?
Remember, it costs you nothing if you are not satisfied.

DAYTON, O.
The Market.
Last week was a combination of win-
ter, spring and summer. The spring
and summer trade among the florists
and landscape gardeners is going to
keep them busy, according to the pres-
ent outlook. Stock of all kinds clears
nicely; in fact, many growers find it im-
possible to fill, the demand with their
own production; consequently, sur-
rounding cities are called on to help.
Eoses are especially scarce. All bulb-
ous stock is in good demand, most of
the growers already having disposed of
their Dutch hyacinths and tulips.
As Easter arrives so late this year,
it will find few hyacinths and tulips
on the market. The same may be said
of azaleas. Easter lilies with most
of the florists are in prime condition
and should prove good money-makers.
Various Notes.
The greenhouses of W. Eitter are be-
ing torn down, to make room for resi-
dences. It is rumored that the Heiss
Co. greenhouses also will be removed,
as the ground they now occupy has be-
come of great value. The company
owns some ten acres outside the city
limits, where they intend to build an
up-to-date range of houses.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y.
The monthly meeting of the Oyster
Bay Horticultural Society was held at
Firemen's hall, March 23, President Al-
fred Walker presiding. After the min-
utes of the previous meeting were dis-
posed of, the secretary read the pro-
posed schedule for the rose show.
After some corrections the schedule
was adopted as read. J, Duckham,
Henry Gibson and William Ford acted
as judges of the exhibits and made
the following awards: Society's rib-
bon for twelve tulips, James Bell; one
potted hyacinth, J. Eobinson; four
pans of hyacinths, J. Eobinson, special
mention; vase of daffodils, Frank Kyle,
honorable mention; vase of alliums,
Frank Kyle, honorable mention; vase
of antirrhinums, Frank Kyle, special
mention; basket of string beans, Thom-
as Moore, special mention.
A lively discussion took place as to
the methods of cultivating the stock
on exhibition. It was moved and sec-
onded that the chrysanthemum show be
held November 9. The executive com-
mittee was recommended to prepare
the dahlia schedule. The exhibits for
the April meeting will consist of lilies,
hydrangeas and schizanthus, in pots.

Pulverized Sheep Manure
is the florists' standard of quality — always uniform and
always reliable. A quick acting, powerful natural
fertilizer, absolutely free from chemical treatment or
mixture. Order by name and be sure it's Wizard
Brand. Don't accept a substitute.
Remember, Wisard Brand Sheep Manure is packed in
extra quality 25-lb. and 60-lb. bags, and attractively printed
5-lb. and 10-lb. cartons for your best retail trade. There is
nothing better you can offer for lawn and garden fertilizing.
Pulverized Cattle Manure
Cool, mild and safe for bench and potting soil. Cow
manure always has had its own place in greenhouse
work and always will, no matter how many chemical
concoctions are put up to pull the grower's money
out of his pocket.
Shredded Cattle Manure
makes the best kind of a mulch. Maintains uniform
moisture and temperature in the benches. Can't be
beat for young stock — keeps it growing strongly and
vigorously. It is cai-efully selected, extra quality, pure
cow manure. Concentrated and completely sterilized
at high temperature. No mixing and no chemicals —
safe and sure — and mighty convenient to have in the
storeroom for every kind of use about the place.
Always ready — easy to handle — a time and money
saver.
Tell your supply man you want Wizard Brand,
and then see that you get it.

The Truth Shown Up About
Raw and Prepared Humus
THERE are a lot of people being stung on
humus. Being stung just because they
seem to think all humus is practically
alike. Or if there is any difference, it is only
the difference in price.
They apparently totally ignore the fact
that most humus in its unprepared state, just
as dug from its watery bed, is generally in-
juriously acid. They lose sight of the fact
that any humus that is sold from a dry sam-
ple, and delivered wet, is a mighty expensive
way to buy^water.
They seem altogether to fail to grasp the
fact that raw humus has absolutely no plant
foods added to make it a balanced fertilizer.
They ignore totally the fact that it takes
four tons of our raw humus to make one ton
of concentrated Alphano Humus, that has
first been sun-dried and then further dried by
expensive mechanical methods until 75% of
the moisture is driven out.
They forget that a humus that is sold
from a dry sample and then delivered in lumpy,
chunky, water-logged shape, contains just one-
quarter the plant foods that a dry analysis
shows.
Come to Our Exhibit
at the New York Show
and let us tell you all the facts and give you all
the figures about this important humus question.
Protect yourself against buying water at
humus prices. Or buying humus that is low
in plant foods and liable to be highly injur-
ious because of its acidity.
PRICE

natural Humus, we will sell to you for

The Market.
Although spring opened last week,
the weather did not show it. Saturday,
March 25, the market was cleaned up
in many items and stock that seemed
to be overplentiful was sold out.
Beauties have not increased in quan-
tity, but there is a change in their
quality. Mrs. Russell is improving in
color and is selling much better. A
week ago the market found itself with
an oversupply of white roses, but this
week all the white roses available were
used in funeral work. Carnations are
arriving in a much better condition.
The percentage of splits has decreased
and the quality of the blooms in gen-
eral has improved greatly. This is
partly due to the increase of sunshine.
The demand for double violets is nor-
mal and the supply does not exceed the
demand. Single violets are not so
plentiful.
Bulbous stock, such as jonquils, daffo-
dils and tulips, has shortened consider-
ably. The supply of daffodils is lim-
ited, while the demand is large. Sweet
peas and freesias are clearing daily.
Valley still clings to the short side of
the market. Orchids have not made a
decided change since last week. Easter
lilies continue to sell fairly well and
callas clear daily. Daisies, calendulas,
mignonette and pansies continue to
move, but are not cutting a large figure.
Greens of all kinds have been moving
nicely and the supply is about equal to
the demand.
Various Notes.
Edward Slattery is attending the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia.
Jerry Brookins, of Orchard Park, is
picking a nice lot of sweet peas daily,
for which he finds a ready market.
William Grever has been called to
serve on the federal jury.
Emil Brucker is on the sick list.
Large preparations are under way for
the flower and fashion show. Charles
Schoenhut, who has been appointed
chairman of the committee for the Flo-
rists' Club, reports that the florists will
make the largest display of flowers and
shrubs ever presented for public in-
spection. Many of the city's leading
mercantile houses have taken space in
the main auditorium. A. E.

MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Business last week maintained a
downward trend and slowed up to some
extent. Early March 22 Milwaukee and
vicinity were visited by the worst bliz-
zard of the year. TraflGlc was tied up
and telephone connections were sadly
impaired, and this condition naturally
put a quietus on business for a day or
two. The stock kept on coming, how-
ever, and that is partly the cause of
the abundance of stock of all descrip-
tions. Shipping business is holding up
well despite Lent, but it is quite dull
locally.
Roses still are more plentiful than
they were last week and there is a
small surplus each day. The quality of
the stock is good and real bargains are
to be had in quantity lots. Carnations
also are in abundance, but are cleaning
up better than the roses. Prices are
fairly good and this stock is moving
well.
Violets are in prime condition and
there are some exceptionally fine singles
to be had. The fancy stock is bring-
ing good prices, but those of poorer
quality are hard to move at any price.
There is a new crop of sweet peas com-
ing on and it is producing some ex-
ceedingly fancy blooms. Some have
stems from fifteen to eighteen inches
long. The crop is moving fairly well
and is not accumulating. The old crop
of short-stemmed stock is not moving
freely. Valley is about equal to the
demand. The quality is good and it is
cleaning out at good prices.
Green stock is showing no increase
in quantity and still is much short of
the demand. Bulbous stock is in good
shape and is selling well. There is a
possibility that some of this stock will
last until Easter, providing the weather
remains cold. This season has been an
exceptionally good one for this class
of stock and there is surely no com-
plaint to be heard this year.
Various Notes.
Mr. Hunkel, who broke his arm Feb-
ruary 22, had the cast removed March
25. It will be some time, however, be-
fore he can use it as well as ever.
Mrs. E. E. Miller, of the Racine
Floral Co., was in town March 25.
A. MacDonald, manager of the
Gimbel Bros, floral department, left

trip. He will take in the flower show
and will be away about a week.

Will you please quote me price on 90 feet of Garland Cast Iron Gutter with drain and drip
opening at one end? To be drilled for l(>-in. width glass on one side and 12-in. on the other. This

Very truly yours,

The quahty of our materials is in keeping with our gutters and we wish to

The Market.
Trade last week was brisk, owing to^'
the large quantity of funeral work.
Cut flowers have been plentiful, but
not in oversupply. Boses ar.e in good
supply, especially in the finer grades
of Shawyer, Eussell, Ophelia and Kil-
larney. The smaller varieties of roses
sell well for corsages, which are in
good demand.
Carnations are quite plentiful, es-
pecially in pink and red, the white
having been picked closely for St. Pat-
rick's day. Longiflorum lilies are in
fine supply and move rapidly for fu-
neral work. Valley is scarce, but the
demand is not good at present. Sweet
peas, primarily the Spencer varieties,
are abundant. Violets, especially the
singles, are plentiful. The quality of
bulbous stock is fine. Dutch hyacinths,
daffodils and single and double tulips

Various Notes.
Miss Catherine Vesey, attending col-
lege at Delaware, O., is at home for
the spring holidays.
The Flick Floral Co. had many hand-
some floral pieces for a large funeral
last week. Among IJie pieces was a
handsome casket cover composed of
longiflorum lilies and Shawyer roses.
A number of large standing wreaths
and other designs also were sent.
Through misinformation it was
stated in these columns that Miss
Helen F. Patten, of the Patten Flower
Shop, Toledo, 0., was ill and intended
to have an operation.

"AND DEPONENT SAITH
FURTHER, AS FOLLOWS:"
Out of a grreat mass of testimonials in support of the excellent character of Cypress for greenhouse con-
struction, we have singled these few for your consideration:
Arthur Cowee, Gladiolus Specialist, proprietor of "Meadowvale Farm," Berlin, N. Y., writes: "My houses
are now ten years old and I have not yet been obliged to spend one dollar in repairing any woodwork, with the
exception of some of the posts. My only regret has been that I have not used CYPRESS 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 — CyPRE:SS 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 greenhouses
built with clear CYPRESS, free of sap, 21 YEAR,S 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 bingee & Conard Co., Rose Growers, West Grove, Pa., say: "We have used CYPREiSS lumber for
greenhouse building for many years, and we find that there Is no lumber vre 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. We 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-inch stock lasted only about four years, while so
far, we have had no 'Pecky' CYPRESS 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 of lumber for the purpose." Not
bad, is it?

22, "Cypress for Silos and Tanks," and Vol. 28, "Cypress for All Trellises and Arbors." Write for what you

PEOVIDENCE.
The Market.
Business was about normal last week,
the supply and demand being well pro-
portioned. Funeral work continues
good and furnishes most of the activ-
ity. There is an air of optimism among
the growers and the dealers as to Eas-
ter business, and everybody is bending
his energies in that direction.
Various Notes.
Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Eeuter and
Oeorge L. Stillman, of Westerly, were
among the visitors to the National
Flower Show at Philadelphia.
The Westminster Greenhouses fur-
nished the table decorations for a large
banquet at Infantry hall, March 25.
About 500 carnations and 2,000 daffo-
dils were used.
E. L. Lemery, landscape gardener of
Woonsocket, has returned from Flor-
ida, where he has been for several
weeks on business.
Joseph H. Burchard, a greenhouse-
man of Woonsocket, died last week at
the age of 72. For several years pre-
vious to his last illness he was em-
ployed at the greenhouses of Drabble
Bros. He is survived by his wife and
an adopted son.
Secretary John J. Dunn, of the state
board of agriculture, is having consid-
erable trouble in securing men to fight
the brown-tail and gypsy moths.
Ed. L. Gavitt, Westerly, is booking
a large number of orders for outdoor
work.
J. K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, ad-
di^essed the Bhode Island Horticultural
Society on "Gardens of Italy," at the
March meeting. His lecture was il-
lustrated with slides showing old and
new world examples of these gardens.
Preceding the lecture, the nominating
committee submitted the names of Ed-
ward A. Burlingame and Charles W.
Byer as trustees for five and two years
respectively. They were unanimously
elected. E. K. Thomas and Thomas
Hope were appointed to make a report
at the next meeting on the literature
of gardening in the magazines, reports
of the Department of Agriculture and
the experiment station pamphlets.

tional Show Gardens, of New York,
will lecture on flowers during the show,
which will be held in the Bertseh store.
Marion, Ind. — The cyclone that
swept this section of Indiana March 21
did about all the damage it could do,
and then some. Bains, sheds and
fences were like chaflf before the wind;
three railroad coaches were blown oflf
the tracks. The A. A. Hocker green-
houses near here are said to have been
completely demolished. Neither a pane
of glass nor a sash was left. The
greenhouses will not be rebuilt. At the
time of writing no word has been re-
ceived from the Maple Heights Green-
houses, but a club house in that vi-
cinity was badly wrecked. The green-
houses in the city did not suffer se-
verely, having some protection from the
terrific wind. The Marion Floral Co.
range, on the edge of the storm, lost
considerable glass from hail.

KROESCHELL WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER
WHAT THE USERS SAY
Kirkwood, Mo., May 22, 1915.
Now tliat the firing season is over,
and after a long cold winter, the coldest
night being 6° below zero, I want to say
I am well pleased with the No. 46
WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER and the
No. 14 Hot Water Boiler. They are
doing all you claim for them and more.
THIS STEAM BOILER I THINK IS
A WONDER, a quick steamer, and Iiolds
the steam, the easiest boiler in the world
to clean and to keep clean. The double
steam trap system is working fine, keep-
ing all the steam lines well drained.
The boiler tube system Is the winner,
the rapid circulation and even temper-
ature obtained from this system is won-
derful.
We are getting the best kind of re-
sults not only from tbe heating systems
and boilers, but also from the roses.
(Signed) W. J. Filcher.
Our WATER TUBE Steam Boiler has
WATER FRONT, WATER SIDES, WATER
BACK and is provided with immense SELF
CLEANING HEATING SURFACES and cir-
culating water tubes.
The WATER TUBE PRINCIPLE is
adopted from the large water tube steam
boilers used for power work; flue surface
used in this manner is much more effective
than fire tubes.
With the water tubes the water circulates
THROUGH THE TUBES, while the OUT-
SIDE OF THE TUBES is exposed to the
heated gases.
This boiler is the fastest steamer in exist-
ence— the hottest gases impinge against the
cro:vn sheet fire surface, then follow the
downwards course along the smooth inside
surfaces, leaving the boiler at the coolest
part through the rear of ashpit base.
In this manner the fire travels along six
surfaces, transmitting the heat to the thin
water ways, at the two sides, the toi), the
front and the back of tlie boiler, also sur-
rounding the water tubes.
No other boiler can equal it for fuel
economy.
WHAT THE USERS SAY
Walton, N. Y., Jan. 10, 1916.
Your NEW No. 46 WATER TUBE
STEAM BOILER is the fisest steam
boiler we have ever flred, and have fired
eleven different makes before.
Your boiler keeps steam from 9:00
I*. M. to 0:00 A. M. without attention
in zero nights.
Before we had three boilers and could
not control temperatures as easily as we
can with yours. The water line Is
steady, and it holds its steam well. The
little time consumed in cleaning same is
wonderful, and we are very well pleased.
The other morning it went down to 4°
below zero, and I flred the No. 46
Boiler at 11:00 P. M.. had 10 lbs. of
steam on with the draft half open, the
houses all registering 48° to 02° and the
rose house C0° the next morning.

NATIONAL SHOW A
GREAT SUCCESS
The fourth National Flower Show of the Society of American Flo-
rists, held la^t week at Philadelphia, has set a new mark for trade exhibi-
tions in America. The best feature of it was that, now it is over,
everybody is satisfied with the results achieved under the handicap of an
inadequate building.
aniBssipinDiS
HEN the National Flower
Show closed its doors in
Convention hall, Philadel-
phia, on the night of April
2, it had scored the great-
est success in the history
of flower shows in Amer-
ica. Not only was it the
largest show ever held in
America, but it had been
seen by more people; not only had it
cost more money than any previous
show, but the funds necessary for a
financial success had been obtained
without recourse to the guarantors,
who therefore will share in the profits
of the show.
Of course it is too early to be able
to state with authority what the out-
come has been, but it is thought that,
even with the loss of
the first Sunday's an-
ticipated gate receipts,
the show had covered
all expenses by March
30, leaving the gate of
the last three days as
possible profit.
Ail Pleased.
But of far greater
importance than a prof-
it from the show is the
fact that everyone con-
nected with it is satis-
fied with the outcome.
PHrst of all, the Phila-
delphia public was
pleased. The show oc-
cupied a larger place
in the thoughts and
conversation of the
people of the city than
has been the case with
any previous national
show, and the comment
was unanimously fa-
vorable. The result is
that much good was
done the trade; flori-
cultural interest was
stimulated as never be-
fore. _The benefits will
fiftf askeacfiing. , =^ .
Did Big Business.
Of second impor-
tance is the fact that
Philadelphia florists
and gardeners feel
that the success
achieved compensates
them for their eflEorts,
which were by no
means slight.
And the exhibitors are pleased — they
all did business. Those who bought
trade space and sought orders nearly
all say they found the effort profitable
in spite of the high cost per foot made
necessary by the inadequacy of the
building to accommodate all comers.
In many cases it is reported that the
orders booked constitute the best record
thus far made at any trade exhibition
or convention and this report comes
from some who looked to the public for
their orders as well as from those who
sought the patronage of the trade vis-
itors. The number of trade visitors
exceeded anything heretofore known,
but the attendance of florists fell off
after New York day, instead of in-
creasing, as had been expected.
The effect of magnitude and excel-

lence in the show unquestionably grew
on one with each succeeding day and
at the close each trade visitor was ready
to subscribe to the verdict that every
shortcoming in the exhibition could be
traced to the unalterable condition of
overcrowding growing out of the deplor-
able inadequacy of the building; that,
this handicap considered, the manage-
ment had done extremely well, taking
advantage of every opportunity and sur-
mounting every obstacle in the best pos-
sible way.
The Attendance.
The crowd that filled the hall each
day until the doors closed Sunday even-
ing, April 2, continued to be a marvel
to all. That such immense numbers of
people would go to a Philadelpliia show
was almost past local
belief. So great was
the press in the build-
ing that Thursday
evening the doors were
closed for a time to
prevent overcrowding.
A device of the man-
agement to have the
show open to all on the
second Sunday, April
2, was successful. An
associate membership
badge in the S. A. F.,-
good from April 2,
1916, to April 2, 1917,
was put on sale at the
hall and at four down-
town stores until Sat-
urday night, April 1.
These badges, with two
American flags crossed
on a button with a
scarlet ribbon attached,
were sold at 25 cents
each. Nearly 5,000
were sold. Every re-
spectable looking per-
son was let in free Sun-
day, April 2. The
crowd was enormous.
Conservative judges
estimated that the re-
ceipts for the last
three days were profit
over all expenses, or,
as they tersely ex-
pressed it, were velvet.
It was gratifying.

bureau has been quite clearly demon-
strated. Great credit is due to Chair-
man Gowperthwaite and his capable
corps of assistants for the way in which
their work was done. People were
shown the exhibits they wanted to see,
introductions were given, the show
wheels were made to move smoothly.
Everything was done that could be
done for each and every one who asked.
And, of course, there were funny inci-
dents. The first man who called asked,
"How can I make a million dollars!"
To which Mr. Gowperthwaite instantly
replied, "Get a job in the mint." A
perplexed lady inquired, "Where are
my mother and sister!" "Describe
them please, madam, and one of us will
try to find them." A man telephoned
to know whether he must remove his
hat in the show, explaining that he
was bald and would take cold with his
hat off. He was told to come with his
hat on and they would be glad to see
him. So it went — a spirit of good
humor prevailed at this bureau, even
under trying conditions.
One or Two Things.
The sale of the wonderful collection
of acacias from Thomas Boland, of Na-
hant, Mass., which was made public
March 31, was a pleasant surprise, the
more so as the plants are to remain
at Philadelphia. The purchase was
made by William Kleinheinz, for Joseph
E. Widener, at a price said to be $3,000.
The greatest crowds on the closing
day were at the aquarium exhibits, espe-
cially that of Franklin Barrett, and at
the Dutch garden of the Henry F.
MicheU Go. Long lines of people moved
slowly past both exhibits.
Philadelphia florists supported the
show by paying $11,000 for 44,000 trade
tickets.
The committee on premium list has
every reason to be proud of its work.
Practically every class filled. The only
exception was in the section prepared
for the American Gladiolus Society,
which brought out not one exhibit.
Someone played a practical joke on
Mark Palmer Mills April 2, who was
"arrested" at Convention hall for vio-
lating the Sunday law. It looked pretty
serious to Mr. Mills for a moment, but
he soon found it was a joke and re-
covered his usual air of cheerfulness.
A. A. Pembroke asks that it be stated
that he was awarded the sweepstakes
silver medal in the classes for 100 car-
nations on his vase of Pink Sensation,
although the official list of awards sup-
plied to The Review and published last
week stated Mr. Pembroke to have re-
ceived the bronze medal.
C. Wurst is gardener to Louis Burk,
Olney, Pa., and John Hobson is gardener
to E. A. Schmidt, Radnor, Pa. In last
week's list of awards at the show the
names of gardener and owner were
transposed.
The exhibitors believe a free show,
like that of Sunday, is a mistake, as it
encourages the undesirable visitors.
A meeting of the National Flower
Show committee was held in the head-
quarters in the Widener building April
3. It was announced that the profit
on the show will be between $8,000 and
$10,000. The attendance of the eight
days the show was open to the public
is estimated at 150,000.
Sweet Peas.
The arrival of the sweet peas March
29 brought additional strength to the
show. They were staged in three sep-
arate positions. A central group on the
main fioor was filled by the 'exhibit of
William Sim, of Oliftondale, Mass. This
group was circular in form, composed
of some seventy-five vases, rising to
a height of five feet in the center.
There were twenty-five blooms of one
variety in each vasfe. Such sweet peas
were a revelation even to the experts.
Mr. Sim carried off a large number of
the first prizes from a strong field of
competitors. Nearby was the exhibit
of Qude Bros. Co., of Washington, D. C.,
choice blooms, beautifully arranged with
ferns. The main body of exhibitors had
their displays on the staging above, dis-
plays that were most creditable to the
American Sweet Pea Society and to
themselves.
W. Atlee Burpee & Go. had a fine
table of all their choicest varieties of
sweet peas, carefully labeled. Their
exhibit attracted much attention and

Phlladelpliians and Sunday Closing.
S. S. Skidelsky points to the follow-
ing editorial from the Public Ledger as
indicative of the attitude of the ma-
jority of Philadelphians on the matter
of closing the show on Sundays:
THE IMMORALITY OF FLOWERS.
The Flower Show must bo a wicked thing,
cf course, or the laws of Pennsylvania, stu-
pidly interpreted by local authority, would
not have closed it to the public on Sunday
afternoon — the one time when most of the
people were able to go to see it. To every
visitor, it may safely be said, this gorgeous
exhibition has been a revelation of the beau-
ty and the glory of the flower world. Yet
all day long while thousands from, far and
near pleaded at the doors for a chance to
see them these flowers wasted their loveli-
ness on the deserted Interior of the Con-
vention hall simply because a blue law, the
mortmain of the crass and narrow attitude
of bygone times, decreed that it is wrong
to go to any form of entertainment on Sun-
day for which one has to pay. The course
for the people of any community thus fet-
tered to take is to do away with a statute
that sins against the light by forbidding
flowers or music or pictures or any other
source of moral and spiritual elevation on
Sunday or any other day. It Is farclciA to
pretend that we are civilized when we sub-
mit to such a preposterous Imposition while
legislatures exist to reflect the will of the
people of today and not the decision of dark
ages of bigotry and superstition.
The Banquet.
Five hundred persons gathered in
Horticultural hall Wednesday evening,
March 29, when the Philadelphia Flo-
rists' club entertained the visitors to
the National Flower Show. About 300
of those present were visitors. The
remaining 200 were club members and
their wives or daughters. About one-
third of those present were ladies. The
banquet was held in the main hall,
where all the big shows and balls take
place. The speaker's table was placed
parallel with the stage. From it, at
right angles, ran five long tables. The
decorations were beautifully arranged
by J. J. Habermehl's Sons. The din-
ner was excellent and well served. The
menu was:
Grape Fruit
Mock Turtle Soup
Olives Celery Radishes Almonds
Baked Shad With Cucumbers
Fillet of Beef Mushroom Sauce
New Potatoes Peas
Orange Sherbet
Terrapin Dressed Snapper
Tomato Salad
Cheese and Crackers
Vanilla Ice Cream and Fresh Strawberries
Rolls Coffee Fancy Cakes
- Great Bear Spring Water
Despite the danger of being water-
logged, the wets showed a fine spirit by
coming in number. One after another
they glanced at their menu cards, only
to be confronted by "Great Bear
Water." Sherbet was a mild form of
olive branch, which was accepted, and
they added much to the pleasure of the
evening by their hearty good will.
George Burton presided. On his right
sat Mayor Thomas B. Smith, who ar-
rived punctually and made the first
speech. The mayor spoke with regret
of the necessity of closing the show
Sunday. The law was clear and there
was nothing to do but to enforce it. In
his speech ~Wm. F. Gude discussed this
portion of the mayor's address, sharply
condemning the blue laws In so far as
they affected the closing of a flower
show and urging that no sermon could
teach a better, truer, purer lesson than

bureau has been quite clearly demon-
strated. Great t-rcdit is due to Chair-
man Cowperthwaite and liis capable
corps of assistants lor the way in whiih
their work was done. People were
shown the exhibits they wanted to see,
introductions we're j^iven, the show
wheels weie made to mo\-e smoothly.
P^verytliino' was done that could be
done for each and every one who asked.
And, of couise, there \vt'ri> J'uiiiiy inci-
dents. 'J'he iirst man who called asked,
"How c'lii I make a million dollars.'""
To which Ml'. < owperthwaite instantly
replieil, '"(Jet a job in the mint.'' A
perplex(^d lady iiujuired, ••^^'here ni'e
my mother ;ind sister.''" "Describe
them ple;ise, madam, and one of us will
try to liiiil them."' A man 1(dephoneti
to know whetlier lie }iiust remove his
hat ill the sliow. exjilaining that he
was bald niui w<iidd take cold witli his
hat ofi". He \\;is told to come with his
hat on :iiid tluy would be fj^lad to see
him. So it ^\(■nt- -a sjiirit of tjood
humor jwev .ailed at this bureau, e\eii
under tryini;' conditions.
One or Two Things.
The sale of the -wonderful collection
of acacias from ^I'homas K'oland, of Na-
hant, !Mass., wlii(h was made public
March 31, was a jileasant surprise, tlie
more so as the jilaiits are to remain
at Philailelphia. The purchase was
made bv ^Villiam Ivleinheinz. for doseph
E. Widener, at a jirice said to be $3,000.
The {greatest ciowds on the closing
day were at tlie aquarium exhibits, espe-
cially that of Franklin Barrett, and at
the Dutch garden of the Henry F.
Michell Co. Long lines of people moved
slowly past both exhibits.
Philadelphia tlorists supported the
show by paying *ll.nO(i for 44,000 trade
tickets.
The committee on ])reniium list has
every reason to be juoud of its work.
Practically every class filled. The only
exception was in the section prepared
for the American Gla<liolus Society,
which brought out not one exhibit.
Someone }>layed a practical joke on
Mark I'alnier Mills April 2, who was
"arrested" at Convention hall for vio-
lating the Sunday law. It looked pretty
serious to Mr. Mills for a moment, but
he soon found it was a joke and re-
covered his usual air of cheerfulness.
A. A. Pembroke asks that it be stated
that he was awarded the sweepstakes
silver medal in the classes for 100 car-
nations on his vase of Pink Sensation,
although the olficial list of awards sup-
plied to The Review and ])ublished last
week stated ]\rr. Pembroke to have re-
ceived the bronze medal.
C. Wuist is gardener to Louis Burk,
Olney, Pa., and dohn Ilobson is gardener
to E. A. Schmidt, Radnor, Pa. In last
week's list of awards at the show the
names of gardener and owner were
transj^osed.
The exhibitois believe a free show,
like that of Sunday, is a mistake, as it
encourages tiie undesirable visitors.
A meeting of the National Flower
Show committee was held in the head-
qua iters in the Widener building April
3. It was announced that the profit
on the show will be between $8,000 and
$10,000. The attendance of the eight
davs the show was open to the public
is estimated at 150,000.
Sweet Peas.
The arrival of the sweet peas March
-9 brought additional strength to the
show. They were staged in three sep-
arate positions. A central group on the
main floor was filled by the exhibit of
William Sim, of Cliftondale, Mass. This
group was circular in form, composed
of some seventy-five vases, rising to
a height of five feet in the center.
There were twenty-five blooms of one
variety in each vase. Such sweet peas
were a revelation even to the experts.
Mr. Sim carried off a large number of
the first prizes from a strong field of
competitors. Xearby was the exhibit
of Gude Bros. Co., of 'Washington, D. C,
choice blooms, lieautifully arranged with
ferns. The main body of exhibitors had
their disj)lays on the staging above, dis-
jdavs that were most creditable to the
-Vmerican Sweet Pea Society and to
themselves.
W. Atlee Burpee & Co. had a fine
table of all their choicest varieties of
sweet peas, carefully labeled. Their
exhibit attracted much attention and

IMPRESSIONS OF A BOSTONIAN
IC
3C
AT THE NATIONAL FLOWER
SHOW.
3C
3C
3C
Overcrowding Deplorable.
The day I arrived in the Quaker City,
March 28, to see the National Flower
Show rain was falling in torrents, but
even in the downpour it was apparent
the approach to the hall was attractive-
ly planted, something impossible at
either the New York or Boston na-
tional shows. Michell 's hyacinths stood
up bravely.
First impressions of the show were
decidedly unfavorable. The terrible
overcrowding seen on every hand got
on one's nerves. Good plants there
were in abundance, but few could show
their individuality. Groups of noble
stove and greenhouse foliage plants had
quantities of low subjects, such as tu-
lips, hyacinths and even crocuses,
pushed below them, or forming decid-
edly incongruous borderings for them.
Miscellaneous groups of flowering
plants contained many beautiful plants,
but there were in some cases distressing
mixtures of hard woods, Boft woods,
annuals and bulbous subjects.. The
lack of space was responsible for much,
but not all of these incongruities, such
as did no(t> exist except in small meas-
ure at pre^^us national shows in New
York and Bdsl^
Show Grew on One.
It was impossible, owing to the
crowded conditions and narrow aisles,
to form any true conception of the
sh'ow from the floor. From a feasual
walk around, the exhibition seemed
small compared to its two predecessors,
but a view- from the orchestra stand
and balcony gave one a much better
idea of the magnitude of the show and,
in spite of the crowded condition of
everything, the longer one walked
around the show the more it grew upon
one.
It is safe to say that there was more
material shown than at either Boston
or New York and that to display it
properly a hall treble the size would
not have been too large.
Mostly Local Exhibits.
The local management cannot well
be blamed for the congested conditions.
They had no conception that there
would be such an outpouring of ex-
hibits and the problem at future na-
tional shows will be not so much to
procure sufficient exhibits as to proper-
ly stage them.
The commercial and private growers
around Philadelphia certainly did no-
bly and deserve every praise for the
great sacrifices made on behalf of the
show, especially in view of the fact
that they did not get anything like
3C
the exhibits from New York that might
have been expected, perhaps owing to
that city running what many seemed
to consider an opposition show a week
later. That New lork's show was not
popular with Philadelphians could
easily be seen.
Boland's the Best Exhibit.
Coming to the individual exhibits, a
common query propounded at such
shows is, What was the finest exhibit
there? On that point there could be
but one opinion. It was the matchless
group of acacias from Thomas Roland.
At Boston and New York Mr. Roland
had the finest groups, but at Philadel-
phia he eclipsed all former efforts. His
specimens of pubescens, heterophylla,
pulchella, cultriformis, grandis, Drum-
mondii, verticillata, Lowii, Ayerii,
armata, hispidissima and other varieties
were as nearly perfect as possible. Such
exhibits, taken a distance of 330 miles,
entail a heavy sacrifice on the exhibi-
tor's part and are worth a big retaining
fee for any show.
Dreer's Boses.
Dreer's garden of hybrid tea roses
came second in point of merit. The
flowers were of magnificent quality, spe-
cially fine being Laurent Carle, Mme.
Caroline Testout, Duchess of Welling-
ton, Lieutenant Chaure, Earl of War-
wick, Lady Mary Ward, Gustav Grun-

erwald, Pharisaer, J. J. L. Mock, Cha-
teau de CloB Vougeot, Mme. Leon Paine
and Mme. Melanie Soupert. Beautiful
as this display was, it would have been
better and more educational if the
colors had been blocked. The tendencjy^
nowadays is to have beds of one vari-
ety, not mixtures. The labels, green
with white letterings, were too sub-
dued to be read with ease. The garden,
however, was a most beautiful feature,
easily the most educational of the trade
exhibits.
The Rose Oardens.
In the competition for the best rose
garden, the Robert Craig Co. and A. N.
Pierson, Inc., made splendid exhibits.
Personally, I would have given first
place .to the Pierson exhibit, as it was
really a rose garden and a delightful
one. The ItaJianesque effect of the
Craig exhibit was altogether too heavy
for my taste, and the fountain far too
large, although the exhibit was a beau-
tiful one.
Palms and Stove Plants.
Palms and stove and greenhouse
flowering plants were well shown. The
30-foot specimen of Caryota urens and
Phoenix Canariensis from William
Kleinheinz were noteworthy. They
secured the National Association of
Gardeners' silver medal for the finest
exhibit from a member of that associa-
tion.
Specimen flowering plants were only
moderate. Ehododendrons and azaleas
were not equal to those seen at the
New York National Show three years
ago. Schizanthus, cinerarias, cycla-
mens, etc., were not equal to New York
or Boston. The cyclamens and ciner-
arias were inferior to what we have at
our regular Boston shows.
The OrcUds.
Orchids made a notable display, fully
as good as New York had three years
ago and decidedly better than Boston
had six years ago. Much the finest
group was that from J. Qoodier, gar-
dener to C. G. Eoebling. A few of
his finest plants were Dendrobium Luna,
Cypripedium Woodrow Wilson, Cat-
tleya Mossiea Beineckiana, Cypripedium
concolor, Odontoglossum Uro-Skinneri,
O. crispum, Cymbidium Sanderee, Mil-
tonia Phalsenopsis alba, Cymbidium
Gottianum and C. Paulwelsii and the
pure white Dendrobium nobile Ashwor-
thianum. Louis Burk's group was also
an imposing one. Julius Boehrs Co.
had an attractive display, the speci-
men of Sophronitis grandiflora being
finely flowered. Lager & Hurrell, W,
A. Manda and others made fine con-
tributions to this section.
Miscellaneous Plants.
Bulbous plants were well done, espe-
cially the Darwin tulips. Groups of
flowering plants contained much good
material, but were so terribly over-
crowded that they compared unfavor-
ably with those seen at New York. The
display of hardy evergreens, including
topiary yews and boxes from W. A.
Manda, Michell 's, Dreer's, Andorra Nur-
series, Thomas Meehan & Sons and
others were remarkably good. Thomas
Long's new and rare fine foliage plants
contained some gems.
Aside from Dreer's rose garden, the
Dutch garden of the H. F. Michell Co.
was the most attractive of the many
fine trade exhibits.
A good word must be said of the
aquarium display. This drew a con-

MAX SCHUNG.
THIS Viennese relates it of himself that when he came to America, in 1898,
he worked at eight jobs in the first fourteen months, but what he doesn't
tell is that in those few weeks he learned all there was to learn at those many
jobs. He was acquiring familiarity with the language and with New York ways
of selling flowers. Then, at 26, he started a retail flower business for himself.
In these sixteen years he has had just one job, that of doing today a little better
work than he and his staff did yesterday. Schling is temperamental, the artist —
you'd know that to look at his portrait. He started life as a sculptor, but took
up gardening and landscape work and as a youth laid out some of the finest
estates in Bohemia. Since Alfred M. Scheider joined him as the business man-
ager of the firm his work has made the store adjoining the Plaza hotel one of
the best known in New York.
stant crowd of visitors who seemed to
greatly admire the beautiful and fan-
tastic forms of the lion heads, tele-
scopes, Japanese goldfish, etc.
Hadley a Bevelation.
The display of cut roses was far
ahead of that seen at previous national
shows and was pronounced by many the
finest ever seen in America. It was sad
to see such magnificent flowers so hope-
lessly crowded. American Beauties
were grand, but Hadley was the fea-
ture of the show. This beautiful rose,
as shown by the Joseph Heacock Co.
and A. S. Burns, Jr., was a revelation
to many. Ophelia came next in popu-
larity. Some of the finest, on 5-foot
stems, came from J. H. Dunlop, in Can-
ada. Killarney Brilliant was much the
finest of the Killarney class. Lady
Alice Stanley, as shown by John Welsh
Young, was grand. Radiance, Russell
and Hoosier Beauty came next in favor.
Carnations and Sweet Peas.
The carnation display was fine in
quality, but less in quantity than I
had expected. The New England
growers captured the cream of the
prizes. Pink Sensation and Cottage
Maid loomed up among the large vari-
eties, while Matchless, Pink Delight,
Beacon, Gorgeous, Benora and Baur &
Steinkamp's new cerise pink seedling
were noteworthy among the others.
Sweet peas made a wonderful show-
ing March 29. The advance made in
the winter Spencers is remarkable.
William Sim captured most of the firsts
in a strong competition. The display
of these was much better than at New
York three years ago.
Two Commendable Features.
A distressing feature to many, but
one which gave peculiar pleasure to the
writer, was the absence of tobacco
smoke in and about the exhibition. An-

WORK OF THE ROSE SOCIETY.
The President's Address.
In opening the meeting of the Ameri-
can Rose Society at Philadelphia last
week, President Pennock spoke in part
as follows:
For some years the society has
worked mostly along commercial lines
and as such it has appealed to the
commercial man more than to the ama-
teur. The rose industry of this coun-
try is a large one and must not be lost
sight of and at the same time the ama-
teur is another phase that cannot be
lost sight of, as he is becoming more
and more of a factor each year. Not
only is his work a benefit and an in-
spiration to the commercial man, but
it also is popularizing the rose as
no other means can or will. The ama-
teur, I feel, is the one we must look
mostly to in increasing our member-
ship and bringfing the society to a
standard and more on a level with the
National Rose Society of England,
which has a membership of over 6,000,
and is a flourishing society. I want to
make a strong appeal for the amateur,
believing a large amateur membership
is the only way we can bring the so-
ciety to that state of efllciency which
every member, whether active or asso-
ciate, wishes it to attain.
A month ago I had a visit from Dr.
Robert Huey about this same amateur
business and, by the way. Dr. Huey
ceased being a member of this society
on account of its offering the amateur
so little, but I am glad to say he is
again with us. He brought with him
a letter from W. E. Davis^ a rose en-
thusiast of New Haven, with a strong
had in mind when writing the follow-
ing pages." Still, any member of the
trade who has neglected the subject of
outdoor rose growing, and - wants en-
lightenment on it, may find that this
little book is an excellent "first
reader." Why should not a treatise
for amateurs, written by a commercial
expert, be suitable for the commercial
beginner? In this instance the ele-
mentary facts are presented in a clear
and attractive style, a style that is ac-
ceptable to both amateur and pro-
fessional. The illustrations, both plain
and colored, are good. In all its de-
tails the little work- is so excellent a
sample of book-making that one is not
surprised to find at the end the im-

appeal for the amateur in our society,
asking that this matter be taken up
in a vigorous manner at our annu^U
meeting.
We have with us today a number of
members whom we shall be glad to
hear from later, members who are au-
thorities on roses. I think that, with
the assistance and the material we
have among our members, we can map
out a campaign that will give such
value to every member that we will
have no trouble in securing new mem-
bers. Let us hope that this time next
year we will have a membership of
more than 1,000.
Sources of New Members.
Along the lines of publicity we are
doing all the society at this time can
do financially, and I believe that we
are getting splendid results for the
money we are spending. An increased
membership and a better treasury bal-
ance will enable us to offer our mem-
bers more in the way of literature and
general rose information, giving them
such value that they will feel an in-
crease in the associate membership dues
during the next few years thoroughly
justified. Let every member, whether
active or associate, strive to help our
publicity campaign, to increase the
membership and give us a society worth
while.
I note with pleasure that we are hav-
ing more societies affiliating with us
each year. I believe it is only a mat-
ter of time when a great many of these
affiliated members will not feel satisfied
to be simply affiliated members but will
want to be something more, either as-
sociate or active members. Should not
the secretary of each affiliated society
have a voice in the Rose Society the
same as an active member f I make
this as a recommendation. These affili-
ated members will mean new friends
who will join with the old in making
this society a tower of strength, and
make it truly national in scope and
character as well as in name.
We believe our friends, the cata-
logue men, could be instrumental in
bringing in new members in large num-
bers by making mention of the Rose
Society in ' their catalogues, setting
forth its aims and purposes — points
that would appeal to the amateur.
This Year's Rose Annual
This year's Rose Annual, which has
been so ably edited by J. Horace Mc-
Farland, is not only a credit to the
society but also a treatise on roses in-
valuable to every member, whether
commercial or amateur rosarian, and
will, we are sure, make for new mem-
bers wherever it goes and add new
life to our society.
In circulating the Rose Annual, it
will only go with a membership, either
life, active, associate or affiliated. We
consider the Rose Annual too valuable
a book to be sold just as an edition,
and it should be well worth the price
of membership in the society. In the
annual each year the aim will be to
give to our members literature that
will be an inspiration and a real help
to them, articles from the pens of rec-
ognized authorities, making it a book
to be treasured and kept as a rose au-
thority.
PossibUltieB of Test Gardens.
The American Rose Society in estab-
lishing test gardens in various parts of
the United States is working out a
feature that will become a most valu-
able and far-reaching asset to rose
growing. These test gardens are now
established at Washington, at Hartford,
at Cornell University and at Minneapo-
lis.
A committee has been appointed to
look after and take charge of each
garden. The plan is to have at least
five plants of a kind in the case of
teas; two of a kind in the case of
climbers; every known variety that can
be obtained, not only from this coun-
try but also from foreign parts. Ac-
curate records are to be kept as to how
they flourish, the climatic conditions,
the amount of bloom and whatever
statistics as to temperature, soil, etc.,
may be deemed necessary by the com-
mittees in charge.
Anyone con^mplating the growing
of a certain variety, for instancCj in
the same climate as Washington, might
refer to the appropriate test garden
reports and see how that variety has
done, whether it was hardy, whether it
was able to stand the hot summer, and
so on. These records, as summarized
each year in the annual, will become
invaluable.
These teat gardens as they will be
established from time to time in the
various cities of the United States and
Canada will make one of the many in-
teresting features fostered by the Rose
Society.
Batter Jttdglni; anil Registration. '
The official scale of points for judg-
ing outdoor roses, as adopted by the
Rose Society some years ago, has been
thought by some of our rose enthusi-
asts to be insufficient and not covering
the ground completely. Dr. Huey, Jesse
A. Currey and Geo. C. Thomas, Jr.,
have had some correspondence on this
subject and have made up a scale of
points which they consider makes a
better scale to judge by.

Accurate registration of roses is an
important matter. We can go back
only a few years and find incomplete
and at times jnaccujrate records of
roses of American origfin. The Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Washington has
under way the compilation of a record
of roses of American origin and sports,
and with the registration as kept by
the American Rose Society we believe
we will have records better and more
accurate than those gotten together in
any other way. The renaming of roses,
whether of .^nerican or foreign origin,
is to my mind a pernicious habit, and
one that the American Eose Society is
not at all in accord with, believing that
it does more harm to the rose than
good. With this aim in' view the so-
ciety at one of its executive committee
meetings appointed Robert Simpson, H.
O. May and Robert Pyle to study the
matter.
For Disease Prevention.
It has occurred to a number of those
interested in roses, particularly those
interested in the society's future, that
we should have a department of plant
pathology, where information could be
gotten by the members who are trou-
bled with rose diseases of any nature
or of any character, whether the roses
be indoor or outdoor-grown, and advice
as to how to handle these diseases and
how to avoid a recurrence of them. A
great many rose lovers, particularly the
commerciaJ men, know how to cure cer-
tain diseases, but they do not always
know the fundamental principles, or
what causes these diseases; if they did
know they could probably handle them
in much better shape. How many of the
amateurs would welcome a suggestion
of how to prevent their roses from
mildewing or from suffering from dis-
eases! Tney generally know what to
do after the roses are diseased, but a
much better way would be to prevent
the disease in the first place.
What we would like to do would be
to establish a fund to taJce care of such
a department and do it on a basis so
that it would be profitable to every
rose grower in the United States and
Canada, and I feel that every rose
grower, if for nothing else, should be a
member of the Rose Society to help
a department of this nature, feeling
that he would get back in returns far
more than he ever invested.
There is not a grower in this coun-
try but who would give money, and
liberally, if he could prevent black spot,
mildew, or any of the many other dis-
eases which rose plants are subject to.
If we had this department on a solid
footing we believe it would be only a
matter of time when experiments could

be made that would eliminate most of
the diseases — possibly not eliminate
them but remedy them to a great ex-
tent. So the department, no matter
what it would cost, instead of being
an expense would be a saving to the
rose business as a whole.
This work could be taken up by any
of our agricultural state colleges or

THE KOTTMILLEB WINIX>W.
There are two general styles of win-
dow decoration, that in which atten-
tion is centered on one or two high-
class articles by having only a little
stock in the window, and that in
which the window is filled as full as
can be without crowding. The win-
dow that is full is said to have selling
qualities superior to the window that
is artistic but does not show much
stock. The way A. Kottmiller, 426

decorate his window for the metropoli-
tan crowds is shown in the accom-

EASTEB STOCK IN THE SOUTH.
When Easter comes late in the sea-
son, as it does this year, growers in
the south are up against a hard propo-
sition. From the outlook at present it
seems that all the Dutch bulbous stock
will be over, with the exception, per-
haps, of some of the double tulips.
Von Zions are in full bloom in the
frames, with no hope of lasting. Even
late varieties of narcissi, like Emperor,
etc., are showing buds above the soil
covering. These may as well be lifted
and placed in a frame in a shady place
or else artificially shaded to keep them
as cool as possible. Azaleas, which
have stood in a protected coldframe
all winter, are beginning to show color.
It will be possible to hold these if they
are not too far advanced. Those far
advanced may as well be brought in*
side to flower as soon as possible.
Spiraeas should have their flower spikes
well above the foliage now to be ready
on time. Do not neglect to keep these
plants well supplied with water. The
buds on the hydrangeas now should be
well advanced; in fact, almost showing
color. Two weeks in cool quarters will
greatly improve their finish. Lilies, at
the time of writing, March 24, should
have their buds about one inch long.
A night temperature of 65 degrees will
make them right, with plenty of time
to harden them off before required.
Any plants not so developed may be
brought in on time by giving them 70 to
75 degrees at night and 80 to 90 de-
grees during the day. In this case
keep the house moist by spraying fre-
quently. L.
OABNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.
The bright, warm, springlike weather
proclaims the time at hand to apply a
little shade to the houses. For this
purpose I have found nothing better
than a thin wash of whiting, applied
to the inside 'of the glass with a
brush. This will stay on all summer
and is easily washed ofif with the hose
when the time comes to remove it. A
good top-dressing of manure at this
time will prolong the season of bloom-
ing. Bed spider and thrips are apt to
appear in force unless measures are
taken to check them. Use the salt spray
for red spider, and one of the tobacco
sprays, at least weekly, for thrips. Pay
particular attention to the routine of
good culture, such as keeping the
houses and beds clean and free from

that the plants are kept growing
straight in their frames, etc.
In some sections of the south the
young plants are already set out in the
field, and everywhere in the south
should planting out be finished before
Easter. A good early start in this is
necessary if you would have strong
plants at housing time. Prepare the
ground thoroughly by plowing, disking
and harrowing, getting it as fine as
possible. If the ground had no cover
crop, spread a good coating of manure
before plowing. After plowing add a
top-dressing of about three tons of
ground lime per acre. Have the young
plants well soaked before planting out
and be sure to avoid deep planting. Let

merely level with the surface of the
ground. Rains are infrequent in many
sections of the south, but if you can
manage to get the planting done just
before a good rain you are over the
worst diflSculty. Sixteen inches be-
tween the rows is the usual width, with
the plants set ten inches apart in the
rows. L.

At Framingham, Iifass.
At the William R. Nicholson range,
carnations are the leading specialty, al-
though a variety of other stock is
grown. The establishment never looked
better than this season, the carnations
being specially fine. Pink Delight and
Alice are both grown as light pinks.
The plantings of Alice will be doubled
here next season. Matchless looked
uncommonly well and, while somewhat
slow in winter, is always in crop.
White Wonder also is grown in quan-
tity and is well liked. Beacon carried
an immense crop, but at present bursts
badly. Some Belle Washburn will be
tried next season. In deeper pinks,
Pink Sensation, Mrs. Ward, Good Cheer
and Peerless Pink are grown. Mrs.
Akehurst will be dropped. Benora
showed up well. Mr. Nicholson has
rooted a nice batch of a pure white
sport. Pocahontas and Fenn are grown
as crimsons, but this will be the last
season for Fenn. A seedling from
Pocahontas is quite brilliant and just
the color the market needs.
Yellow marguerites are grown in
quantity here. A pale yellow form is
being selected as being likely to take
well. Mignonette is always superb and
this year is no exception to the rule.
Snapdragons, myosotis, Rose Queen
sweet peas and Gypsophila elegans, and
such Memorial day crops as double
feverfew and candytuft, are also
ijgrown.
I have never seen the Godfrey calla
better flowered than here. It is grown
on narrow shelves along the sides of
the large carnation houses. These are
grown mostly three tubers in an 8-inch
pot and up to March 9 had averaged
more than eight flowers per pot, with
hundreds of flowers and buds in sight.
The flowers were just as large as any
of the old type and much purer in
color.
S. J. Goddard.
At S. J. Goddard 's, Pink Sensation
looked well and, for a large variety,
was blooming quite freely. Rosette ap-
peared to be Good, but will be dropped
in favor of Rosalia. Pink Delight and
Alice are both grown, but the last-
named will be dropped and Domer's
Nancy will be planted next season.
Some Gloriosa is still grown and found
to pay well. Yellow Prince was not
bursting as at some other establish-
ments. Beacon looked splendid, with
hardly any burst flowers. Good Cheer
is being carefully selected and will be
tried again. Mr. Goddard has a long
bench devoted to his own crimson seed-
lings and they are a fine lot. The best
one has been named Doris. This has
been seen under number at some of the
leading exhibitions.
Considerable general stock suitable
for retail trade is grown here. I noted
soriiti fine standard fuchsias and gera-
niums; also good batches of cyclamens,
marguerites, mi^onette, snapdragons
and English primroses.
J. T. Butterworth.
Orchids are the feature at the J. T.
Butterworth place and anyone at all
interested in these plants can spend an
hour or two profitably there, as they
are well grown and seem to thrive bet-
ter in houses not of the most modern
type. Odontoglossums were in splen-
did health. O. crispum was carrying
some grand spikes. A batch of Mil-
tonia vexillaria looked extremely
healthy. Cymbidium Sanderae, with its
beautiful erect spikes of pink flowers,
carried numerous spikes. I counted
nineteen flowers on one plant. Other
eymbidiums were carrying numerous
spikes. A fine plant of Cattleya
Thayeriana superba carried fifty flow-
ers. The cattleyas, cypripediums and
other orchids all looked remarkably
well. Dutch bulbous stock is heavily
grown here. Walter T. Ware is well
liked as a white-winged, large trumpet
variety of narcissus. Murillo and La
Reine are the favorite tulips. A dou-
ble form of Narcissus Campernellii
rugulosus was pretty and proves to be
a wonderful keeper. In the carnation
house Alice, Matchless, Beacon, Benora
and Champion are grown.
Jolm A. Nelson.
No one should visit Framingham
without calling on John A. Nelson.
He grows about 40,000 carnations and
they are in grand condition, carrying
an immense crop of flowers. Owing to
the long spell of dark, cold weather,
some varieties are bursting more than
usual, but this trouble is now passing.
It is hard to single out any special
kind for mention where everything is
so well grown, but Pink Delight, Alice,
White Enchantress, Ward, Enchant-
ress, Benora and Matchless, which are
the leaders, are all splendid. Ward is
doing specially well, and Alice is stead-
ily improving as the days lengthen. A
splendid lot of young stock was noted.
Some sweet peas and snapdragons are
practically the only other flowers
grown here. W. N. C.
Burlington, Vt.— W. E. Peters has

Strom has plans for building several
new houses.
Stoneham, Mass. — Plans are being
made by Everel K. Farr for the erec-
tion of a King house this spring, 42x142
feet. The new house will be planted
to carnations and sweet peas. Mr.
Farr's stock is marketed by the Boston
Cooperative Flower Market.
New Bedford, Mass.— At the monthly
meeting of the New Bedford Horticul-
tural Society, the executive committee
was instructed to make schedules for
the flower shows to be held this year.
There will be four shows, peony, roise,
dahlia and chrysanthemum. As a re-
sult of a campaign for new members,
thirty-seven were voted in.
Plttsfleld, Mass.— When the Flower
Shop wants an F. T. D. window it noti-
fies the telegraph company. In a short
time the telegraph salesman calls with
a load of "props" for the window, in-
cluding a telegraph outfit, desk, minia-
ture poles, wires, etc. The company
figures that any window that adver-
tises F. T. D. service advertises the
telegram.

APPiLICATION
of fungicides,
as I stated in a pre-
vious article, in The
Review of February
24, has probably
^^SIK9 been the most highly
^^^^^ ^^ developed phase of
1^^^^^^ ' ^^^^^ disease prevention
^^^^^Bb^^ , ^^B in plant pathology,
■HIHHik vHi but in the green-
house the use of
fungicides, especially those which dis-
color the foliage, is limited.
Eemember that the application of
fungicides is not a "cure-all." There-
fore, use them only when experiments
have shown that they can be applied
with beneficial results. Not long ago,
when a disease troubled your plants,
you were advised to spray with Bor-
deaux mixture or some potent fungi-
cide, but, fortunately, such advice is
now in disfavor.
Also remember that fungicides are
used as a preventive and not as a cure.
The only diseases that can be cured
are the surface mildews, where the
fungus is purely superficial. You can
keep disease from spreading if you ap-
ply fungicides at an early stage.
Among the fungicides suitable for
use in the greenhouse are the following,
with the methods of preparation:
Bordeaux Mixture.
Bordeaux mixture is the standard
fungicide for the control of certain
diseases. It was introduced into this
country from Europe in 1887 by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, but has been modified to some ex-
tent. The mixture giving the best re-
sults in the greenhouse is one made
from four pounds of copper sulphate
(blue vitriol), four pounds of quick-
lime (not air-slaked), and fifty gal-
lons of water. Where small quantities
are needed the equipment should con-
sist of a 50-gallon barrel, two tubs of
a capacity of at least tw'enty-five gal-
lons, two buckets, and a paddle for
mixing. In one tub place twenty-five
fallons of water and dissolve in it
our pounds of copper sulphate, by sus-
pending it in a coarse sack just below
the surface of the water. In the other
tub carefully slake four pounds of
quicklime, using only sufficient water to
have the lime, when thoroughly slaked,
in the form of a thick paste. When
cold, dilute to twenty-five gallons. Then
the solutions are ready to mix. After
stirring well, pour a bucket of each
simultaneously into the barrel, allow-
ing the streams to come together. Con-
tinue this process until the entire
amount is made; then stir the mix-
ture and strain into a spray-tank.
Smaller Quantities of Bordeaux.
When fifty gallons is not needed, a
smaller quantity may be conveniently
made by using stock solutions.
A stock solution of copper sulphate
is made by dissolving one pound of
copper sulphate in one gallon of water.
A stock solution of quicklime is made
by weighing out a definite quantity and
slaking it with a small quantity of
water. After the lime is thoroughly
slaked and cooled, enough -water is
added to make a solution containing
one pound of lime per gallon of water.
These solutions, if kept in covered ves-
sels to prevent evaporation, will re-
main good for a long time. In pre-
paring the Bordeaux mixture from
stock, measure out the proper quantity
of your solution of copper sulphate and
dilute it with half the quantity- of
water needed. In a similar manner
measure the lime from stock, and dilute
with the other half of the water, but
in separate vessels, and mix as put-
lined above.
Bordeaupc imixture is effective for
leaf-spots and several of the rusts on
greenhouse plants.
Ammoniacal Copper Oarbonate.
Ammoniacal copper carbonate con-
sists of a solution made by dissolving
copper carbonate in ammonia in the
lows: Potassium sulphide, three to
five ounces; water, ten gallons.
Flowers of Sulphur.
Flowers of sulphur is the best known
fungicide for the control of surface
mildews, like that of the rose. The
sulphur may be dusted over the plants,
through a cheesecloth bag or bellows,
so as to fairly cover the leaves with
the yellow powder. This method can
be used where the mildew is scattered,
but when the whole house is affected a
paste should be made of sulphur and
water and smeared on the steam pipes.
The fumes arising from the sulphur on
the pipes are effective in killing the
mildew.
Another paste, made from one-fourth
lime, three-fourths sulphur and a little
water, is just as effective and will re-
main on the pipes " longer. Sulphur
burners and vaporizers can be used
in the summer, when steam is not avail-
able. In using the sulphur burner it
must be borne in mind that the sulphur
fumes -produced by this method are of
a different nature from those pro-
duced by the steam pipe and vaporiz-
ing methods, and are more liable to in-
jure the young foliage if applied too
strong.
A new form of sulphur, known as
atomic or precipitated sulphur, has ap-
peared in the market. This sulphur,
which is in a finely divided state, mixes
well with water. A paste of any pro-
portion can be made up easily.
Lime-sulphur, a spray used of late
years as a fungicide in orchards, has
not been given a trial in the green-
house. However, it appears to have
some possibilities.

following proportions: Copper car-
bonate, six ounces; ammonia, about
three pints; water, fifty gallons. Dis-
solve the copper carbonate in the am-
monia, using no more ammonia than
is positively necessary; then add the
water. If the solution is too strong
or not properly mixed, some injury
may result, in the burning of the
tender leaves. The strong solution
made of copper carbonate and am-
monia can be kept for some time in
stoppered bottles and diluted with the
proper quantity of water as needed.
Unlike Bordeaux mixture, this fungi-
cide will not discolor the foliage and,
therefore, is preferred in some cases.
This solution is effective in the control
of the black spot of roses, other leaf-
spots, and several rusts.
Potassium sulphide is particularly
effective in the control of certain mil-
dews and rusts. Like ammoniacal cop-
per carbonate, it does not discolor the
foliage. The constituents are as fol-

various preparations can be obtained

INDIANA STOBM (PICTORIALLY).
Record was made last week of the
cyclone of March 21 that swept the
country near Marion, Ind., and of the
devastation and wreckage strewn in
its wake. The terrific force of the
wind is demonstrated by the fact that
three railroad cars in the center of the
storm were lifted off the tracks. The
A. A. Hocker greenhouses near Marion
were said to have been completely de-
molished, neither pane of glass nor sash
was left, and the Marion Floral Co.,
on the edge of the disturbance, reported
a heavy loss of glass from the hail that
followed the blast. The Maple Heights
Greenhouses, at some distance from Ma-
rion, are considered to be a total loss.
After the cyclone the houses looked as

if they had passed through deluge and
war. The accompanying illustration
gives an idea of the extent of the dam-
age. The west section of the connect-
ing houses was almost even with the
ground and the east wing was badly
twisted and wrecked. All the stock,
of course, was exposed and frozen.
David Rudicel, the proprietor of the
Maple Heights Greenhouses, is protected
to some extent by insurance.
Along in B. C. a Greek philosopher
one day pronounced the following, or
words to the same effect: "The ele-
ments are man's best friend and his
worst enemy." The sage certainly hit
the nail squarely on the head.
NEW YORK.
The Market.
A summer temperature last week
created almost a summer market. The
cut flower market did not wake up un-
til Saturday. Then came the "clean
up" and a general interest that was
encouraging, though it was at the sacri-
fice of values. The big buyers of both
New York and Brooklyn were again
much in evidence.
Shipments of roses are heavy and the
short-stemmed grades of all varieties
were disposed of as low as $10.00 per
thousand. The high-grade Beauties
and Hadley were barely steady at the
quotations given. Present top prices
are only for the selected stock.
Carnations are abundant. Most of
the arrivals are superb, but prices are
rapidly falling and few indeed sold at
or above $2 per hundred. Many thou-
sands were distributed Friday and Sat-
urday at $10 per thousand. Lilies still
are held at the low figures of the last
month and give no indication of the
speedy coming of Easter. Valley fell
from 4 cents to 2 cents, little of it go-
ing above that figure. There seems to
be a great surplus and the street mer-
chants are not slow to take advantage
of it. Sweet peas, too, are coming in a
daily flood and only the best are sal-
able in the retail stores. The medium
and lower grades sell only through the
sidewalk channels. The street men also
are depended on to relieve the conges-
tion of violets, the quality of which is
fast retrograding. The late Easter will
find few salable. Nothing but the best
selected stock touches 25 cents per
hundred. Gardenias also are in endless
supply and so become the street man's
specialty.
A few of the best cattleyas touched
50 cents April 1, but 35 cents seems
to be the generally accepted top for
the selects. In bulbous stock, tulips
still command good prices for the choice
varieties. Narcissi are abundant and
now come the southern dafi:odils, sell-
ing at $5 per hundred bunches. Not
much freesia is seen. Calla lilies are
abundant, as are daisies, . pansies,
forget-me-not, lilac, mignonette and
other seasonable flowers.
The windows of many of the whole-
salers are made interesting with flow-
ering plants for Easter.
Various Notes.
The International Flower Show is
on this week at the Grand Central
Palace and is the principal subject for
conversation in trade circles.
The next meeting of the New York
Florists' Club, April 10, will be at-
tended by many out-of-town visitors
who are here attending the flower show.
The officers extend a cordial invitation
to all florists in the city on that date
to come and enjoy a social two hours.
Among those who will lecture in the
Saturday afternoon series at Bronx
park are the following: Arthur Cowee,
April 22; Maurice Fuld, April 29;
Richard Rothe, May 6; Arthur Herring-
ton, May 13; J. Otto Thilow, June 3.
The New York visitors to the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia all
enjoyed their trip exceedingly and
many remained for the banquet and the
closing days of the great exhibition.
The plant auctions are drawing
larger audiences at every sale.
R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh,
Md., lectured April 5 before the Gar-
den Club of Short Hills, N. J.
C. Brown, Jr., son of the Belnord flo-
rist, is back from the European war.
He was in the ambulance service and
his reminiscences are most interesting.
Goldstein & Futterman seem much
encouraged with their success to date.
The Cut Flower Exchange held its
monthly meeting April 1, at the office
of W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., the secretary,
in Long Island City.
D. C. Arnold & Co. have added two
to their office force and the cut flower
factory at Hempstead is turning out
large shipments of carnations, with
Mrs. Arnold the favorite variety.
J. J. Coan says his business has been
more than satisfactory from his
opening.
Charles Millang's new plant store
at 50 West Twenty-sixth street, di-
rectly opposite his cut flower headquar-
ters, is open and stocked.
Samuel Woodrow has several large
landscape contracts for this spring.
The retail store at 37 West Twenty-
eighth street is stocked for Easter and
the force of salesmen increased.
Guttman & Raynor have added a new
auto to their facilities in good time
for the Easter trade.
The florists' chauffeurs' ball April 1,
at Bryant hall, was largely attended
and a great success.

FUNGUS ON SPBENGESI.
We have had considerable trouble
from a fungus-like web that attacks
our Sprengeri sprays every time we
have a good crop. It usually starts in
several places and spreads rapidly. We
try as much as possible to avoid wet-
ting the sprays. Any suggestion will
be appreciated. G. F. 0. — Tenn.
If this is a fungoid affection, give the
plants a spraying with Fungine, an ex-
cellent remedy for all fungoid trouble.
Use at the rate of a quart of Fungine
to ten gallons of water. 1 would apply
this as soon as any of the fungus is
seen. C. W.

Houston, Tex. — Valued at $1,800, but
not for sale at any price, a pure white
cattleya with a yellow center recently
was displayed in the Boyle & Pendarvis
store. Mr. Boyle is said to have dis-
covered this variety at an altitude of
7,000 feet, in South America. It is to
be known as Cattleya Boyleana.
Shreveport, La. — At a recent meeting
of the Rotary Club, A. J. Manheim, of
the Manheim Floral Co., gave a lengthy
talk on the florists' business, varieties
of bulbous stock, lilies, roses, etc. The
newspapers printed a large part of the
speech the next day.

OBITUARY
Mrs. Bertha Biessen Buechel.
Mrs. Bertha R. Buechel, wife of
Edward Buechel, of the Kiessen Floral
Co., St. Louis, Mo., died March 30, at
the Lutheran hospital, St. Louis, where
she had beem confined for the last three
weeks. Her death was a shock to many
of the local trade, as it was not gen-
erally known that she was sick.
Mrs. Buechel was born forty-six years
ago in St. Louis. For twenty-five years
she was in the employ of the Michel
Plant & Bulb Co. and learned the busi-
ness under the tutorship of John
Davidson, who now is with Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., Riverton, N. J. A few
years later she took a position with the
Elleard Floral Co., on Broadway, which
now is the location of the Riessen
Floral Co., as head of the design depart-
ment. Some years later she opened her
own place a few doors away from the
Elleard Floral Co., where she met and
married Edward Buechel. She subse-
quently bought out the Elleard Floral
Co. and continued the business with her
husband.
Mrs. Buechel was known to all in the
St. Louis trade as a woman who knew
how to manage a florists' business and
her work was always of the highest
order. She is survived by her husband,
her mother and two brothers. The fu-
neral took place April 2 from her late
residence, 3434 South Jefferson avenue,
to the St. Marcus cemetery. A wealth of
floral emblems filled the home. Mem-

Mr. Sheap was widely known among
the seed trade, as for many years he
had charge of the wholesale growing
end of the Isbell business and was
brought into personal contact with the
buyers for nearly every prominent house
in the county. He had a thorough
knowledge of the business, liorn of
many years of study of its prol)lonis.
His was a quiet, kindly nature that
won warm friends and the announce-

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
The indications are there will be none
too many vincas this spring. The demand
has increased amazingly the last couple
■of years.
Now is the time to arrange for the
Easter annex, or the downtown store that
is to make it possible to double your
flales April 21 and 22.
Among newer American roses, Hadley,
Hoosier Beauty, Mrs. Russell, Ophelia
and Radiance all are winning their way
in England, where they are succeeding
■under glass as well as in the open ground.
The Rotterdam, the biggest boat run-
ning between Rotterdam and New York,
has been laid up. If the reduction of
shipping space keeps on it will be diflS-
■cult to move bulb and plant imports this
-season.
The American Dahlia Society has is-
•sued No. 2 of its series of bulletins, a
pamphlet of eight pages edited by Secre-
tary Dick. The society 's classification of
•dahlias and a list of the society's mem-
bers are included.
C. W. Johnson, Morgan Park, 111., sec-
retary of the American Chrysanthiemum
Society, last week issued that organiza-
tion's annual volume, containing the pro-
■ceedings of the fourteenth' annual meet-
ing at Cleveland last autumn, list of va-
rieties disseminated in 1915, tabulated

judges last season, which were published
in The Review at the time; list of mem-
bers and much other information of spe-
cial interest to chrysanthemum growers.

The Review stops coming when the

WATCH US GROW.
The Classified ad section of The Re-
view makes a new record again this
week. With twenty and one-half pages
of the "Little Wonder Workers," as
one subscriber called them, the depart-
ment rtiis week is nearly two-thirds of
a page ahead of last week and a page
and one-half ahead of last spring's best
record.'
The department grows because the
ads pay the advertisers big returns.
"WHO STIIiL WANT PLANTS."
Here's how seasonable stock moves
when it is advertised in The Review:
The small ad in The Review made my rose
plants disappear faster than the fresh baked po-
toto pancakes did when put on the lunch counter
in a Milwaukee saloon, and they certainly went
fast enough! Kindly discontinue my ad or I
will be broke paying all the postage returning
checks to tbe florists who still want plants. —
W. H. Amllng, Maywood, 111., April 3, 1916.
When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.
FLOWERS ARE SMILES.
Smile a little, smile a little, as you pass along,
.Not alone ^^hen life is pleasant, but wlieu things
go wrong.
Do not make the way seem liarUer by a sullen
face;
Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the
place.
It is on the card of the Boston busi-
ness man •^ho wrote to Penn the Flo-
rist the letter from which the following
is taken:
Flowers have always seemed to me to be
smiles in colors, and tlie following incident
seems to support my belief:
I always wear a buttonhole from choice, and
use a certain elevated station from necessity.
Tbe elderly, sad-faced ticket chopper must have
noticed me, for on a recent stormy morning
when my coat was btittoned closely around my
throat, he abruptly blurted out, "1 see you ain't
got it today!"
As 1 turned back, I knew at once what he bad
missed. Then I unbuttoned my overcoat and
showed him tbe flowers smiling up at him, and
Remarked, "I got you that time." The smile
that spread over his face amply repaid for the
brief delay.
The girl at the ticket window told me later
that it was the first time she had ever seen the
old man smile. Best of all, he keeps it up, for
every time I pass the ticket chopper, he smiles—
not at me, but at the flower^
Here's an Inexpensive way to promote smiles
in a world that takes Itself much too seriously.
Sincerely,
Harry F. Merrltt.
TO TRACE DELINQUENTS.
A bill that, if enacted into law, would
be of great aid to merchants in locating
delinquent debtors who leave for parts
unknown without advising their cred-
itors of prospective destinations, has
just been introduced into the House of
Representatives by Congressman George
R. Smith, of Minneapolis. This bill (H.
R. 10399) provides "That postmasters
and others in the postal service shall not
give to unauthorized persons informa-
tion concerning mail matter, provided,
that this shall not prohibit postmasters
from giving information as to the ad-
dresses of patrons of their of&ces to
such persons as are known to desire the
information for lawful and proper pur-
poses." The bill has been referred to
the House Committee on Post OflSces
and Post Roads. C. L. L,
NEW YORE'S SPRING SHOW.
The spring show of the New York
Florists' Club and the Horticultural
Society of New York opened at the
Grand Central Palace during the a;fter-
noon of April 5 for a week 's run. While
in an incomplete state at the time of
this writing, it is apparent that the
show will be jan excellent one and a
large attendance of the public is antici-
pated, as the press work has been the
best thus far obtained for a show in
New York city. The trade visitors will
be entertained by the Florists' Club at
its annual dinner, with which will be
combined a dance, Saturday evening,
April 8, at Hotel Biltmore.
The New York exhibition opened
promptly on time and is the grandest
show ever staged in America. The
weather is perfect and there were a •
thousand waiting at the doors for the
opening hour. Every foot of space is
occupied. The show includes phenom-
enal pot grown stock, jr fine display by
the park department, four grand rose
gardens, three rock gardens, five gar-
deners' groups of 300 square feet each,
five great orchid banks, one bulb garden
occupying 500 square feet, beautiful
exhibits by leading retail florists, nu-
merous trade exhibits and many special
features. It is estimated the attendance
will be 150,000. C. H. Totty.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
Chicago market conditions, while far
from satisfactory, are much better than
they were a week ago. To say that
demand is sluggish would be to convey
an erroneous impression. To say that
demand is in abeyance would more
nearly express the true, state of affairs. »
For while both conditions may bear
the same appearance, there is an im-
palpable something about the latter
that makes itself felt. This something
is abroad in the market now. The
shipping business, however, pursues the
even tenor of its way, undisturbed by
froward local winds.
Really good Beauties are arriving on
the market in such nunjbers that no ^
difiiculty is experienced in filling the
largest orders. This has quite natu-
rally had a tendency jto lower prices.
Other roses are in good supply and
they are not clearing, at satisfactory
prices. Moreover, it cannot be said that
this or that variety leads in demand,
for it is necessary to push all varieties
alike most assiduously. Prices average
the lowest of the year to date.
Carnations are in only fair supply,
but it is gratifying to note the small
proportion of splits. Small as the re-

ceipts are, though, the demand is
scarcely strong enough to handle them.
The white and red varieties receive the
most frequent call. Enchantress still
hangs. Calendula, snapdragon and
mignonette are moving indifferently
well. A few gladioli have made their
appearance. Valley is again clearing.
There is a large supply of Easter lilies,
and though there has been as yet no
heavy demand for them, they are giv-
ing a reasonably good account of them-
selves. Of callas there is a large num-
ber and they are moving nicely. Single
violets are clearing, but doubles are
moved with difficulty if at all. Sweet
peas still enjoy a fair degree of favor.
Daisies, on the other hand, are not clear-
ing as they should. Jonquils, too,
though in. good supply, are inclined to
be slow. There are few good daffodils
to be found on the market, but of soft,
inferior stock there is more than
enough. Freesias are about done for.
Tulips, too, are nearly at an end. The
scarcity of cattleyas continues, and
though the demand is not great it
cannot be satisfied with the available
supply.
With the exception of smilax, the sup-
ply of greens is sufficient to meet the
demand, which, regulating itself by the
general market, is more satisfactory
than it was a week ago.
The Weather in March.
March was not a bad month for the
growers. Although there were alternate
warm and cold spells, the average tem-
perature for the month was nearly
normal. Also, the precipitation was
about as usual. The snowfall was five
and one-half inches. Sunshine was four
per cent less than normal, being only
forty-nine per cent of the possible. It
was windy, even for March, the total
movement being 11,396 miles, which, of
course, increased the drain on the coal
bins.

The Alpha Floral Co. surrendered its
charter at Springfield April 3 and was
dissolved, the business of the company
having been sold to Johnson & Chronis
following the death of George Econ-
omopolos. Julius Schnapp is in charge
of the store.
Felix Reichling, who handles the or-
ders at Peter Reinberg's, comments on
the strength and widespread character
of the demand for Beauty bench plants.
He says orders have come from seed
stores and flower stores all over the
country, whence the stock is passed on
to the public for garden planting.
N. J. Wietor points with pride to
Carnation Rosette and says that, judg-
ing it by its performance for Wietor
Bros., one scarcely could ask for any-
thing better in its color. The plants,
he adds, are green to the ground and
give every indication of going right
along as long as they are asked to do so.
Word comes from C. L. Washburn,
who is in Pasadena, that 0. P. Bassett
is as spry as ever, in spite of his ad-
vanced years (he was 81 March 31),
and that E. B. Washburn has his hands
full with the palm department. Mr.
Washburn expects to return to Chicago
the end of this week.

perennial grower at Western Springs,

ping business?
Let us explain — it is not that we will have insufficient stock to take care
of the big Easter rush nor that we believe in sitting still and waiting for busi-
ness to be brought to us, but we do believe, if necessary, in accepting fewer
additional orders and taking care of those we do accept in the right way.
That is, in the way which will mean a satisfied customer, and a friend, who
will be coming back for more stock.
We are not spending our good money on this ad in an endeavor to secure
all the orders that will be placed this Easter, but to let you know that we
are going to be in position to ta^e care of more business than ever before. Of
course, we want to take on new accounts, but we want a« chance to satisfy
them, so that we can make a friend, as well as customer. Therefore, we do
not think we are asking too much when we request you to get that Easter
order in early, and let us show you just what KENNICOTT SERVICE plus
KENNICOTT QUALITY CUTS really means. Then you'll know the
reason why our business has been making such a consistent growth month
by month, year by year.
You ought to know by this time, from past experience, that talk is cheap
— we do not believe in making a big noise and then falling down. What we
want is repeat orders. We are telling you facts, we will try our best to help
you out in a pinch ; but the orders booked ahead naturally must be taken
care of first.
Please do not misunderstand these statements, for we do not want you
to think that we have not the source of supply that a large house must have
to take care of one of these big rushes, but past experience has proven to us
that an order given to us a little ahead of time is more apt to give us a new,
regular account than one sent in the last minute.
Send that order in as soon as possible and we will show you what
KENNICOTT SERVICE and KENNICOTT QUALITY CUTS are. We
have the stock ; in fact, will have much greater supply than ever before, as
we now have many big ranges of glass backing us that we did not have last
Easter and our business at that time was the largest we ever handled for a
like period.

showed a highly gratifying increase
over March of last year. It was their
first chance to compare records.
While attending the National Flower
Show last week, Ed Enders, veteran of
the C. A. Samuelson staff, took a look
at the leading stores in Philadelphia
and New York, obtaining several ideas
that shortly will be worked out in the
Michigan avenue window.
The spring season calls for an annex
to Winterson's Seed Store and this
year a vacant double store was found
at 55 and 57 East Lake street, where
import stock is being unpacked. Mr.
Degnan is specially pleased with the
qu^ity of the boxwoods.
An attack of neuralgia has been tak-
ing the joy out of life for C. W. Mc-
Kellar. It has been a week of pain.
After a successful trip in the west,
A. F. Longren, of the Poehlmann Bros.
Co., arrived in the city March 31. He
left April 4 for the east.
The Florists' Club will hold its
monthly meeting tonight, April 6, at the
Morrison hotel. The silver punch bowl
will go to the lucky member this night.
A belief is entertained by Allie
Zech, of Zech & Mann, that there will
be a scarcity of carnations for the
Easter and Mothers' day trade. His

belief is founded on the fact that
whereas there is usually a glut of car-
nations at this season of the year, they
are now on the short side of the market.
The board of directors of the Chicago
Flower Growers* Association will hold
its monthly meeting April 11 at 3 p. m.,
182 North Wabash avenue.
Fred Wittbold and his family were
driven from their home by fire early in
the morning of April 3, but the fire
was confined to the synagogue next
door.
A large increase in the volume of
business has forded the Johnson Basket
Co. to seek larger quarters. A fine
location has been found at 323 and 325
West Bandolph street, where business
will be transacted from this time on.
As though stepping on a rusty nail
were not enough, Otto Goerisch, of the
A. L. Bandall Co., is now suffering with
a boil on the back of his neck. But
even this combination is not strong
enough to keep him from work.
A conference of women farmers, flo-
rists and gardeners will be held at the
Art Institute April 12 to 14, under the

this week by George F. Crabb, of the
Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., Grand
Rapids, Mich.
Eoger Peterson, of J. A. Peterson &

of showing his plants in a sample room
at the Palmer House as heretofore, he
has them on display at the store of

The Market.
Business remains good, with a fine
stock of flowers on hand. This market
is well supplied with roses of every de-
scription. Shawyer, Hoosier Beauty,
Ward, Ophelia and White Killarney
roses are of exceptionally fine quality.
Carnations are in good supply and of
good quality. Some of the finest sweet
peas ever seen here now are available
at the commission houses. Valley, for-
get-me-nots, daisies and snapdragons
are in good supply. Tulips and narcis-
si, in fact, all bulbous flowers, are quite
plentiful, possibly excepting hyacinths.
Various Notes.
The Flower Growers' Corporation has
opened a more spacious store at 35 John
E. street. The salesroom now is on the
ground floor. This concern is the head-
quarters in Detroit for Shawyer roses
and cattleyas.
Charles Plumb has a fine stock of
plants for Easter, particularly roses and
spiraeas, and his lilies are in fine shape.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Plumb have been
in the east for two weeks.
Robert Jean is driving about in a
handsome automobile, a recent acquisi-
tion.
Strange occurrences never cease in
this city. B. Schroeter nearly collapsed
last week when, after giving a woman
some information regarding the care of
plants, he was asked what his charge
for the information was. H. S.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
"I can buy" has replaced "We are
getting," by which it may be under-
stood that the buyers are doing the talk-
ing now. Of course, the buyers gener-
ally do the talking, that is their right,
only they are exercising it more freely
as the quantity of flowers increases.
The sellers do not talk much now; they
just hustle to market their stock as
fast as it comes into bloom. Their abil-
ity to do this depends first on them-
selves and second on the stock. Eeally
choice carnations have held up rather
well. Sweet peas have not; neither
have roses. The quantity of these two
kinds of flowers, particularly the peas,
has increased. A. great many are mar-
keted at excellent prices, but a good
many more realize little. There some-
times are flowers that reach the market
in poor condition; sometimes they come
at a poor time. In either case, they
disappoint grower and wholesaler. Of
the other flowers it may be said that the
heavy supply of sweet peas and, to a
lesser extent, of roses, has aflfected their
price. There are, of course, exceptions.
Valley is quite scarce. Easter and calla
lilies command fair support. Cattleyas
are to a certain extent in a class by
themselves, but the general run of other
flowers is rather depressed. Opinions
differ as to the why and wherefore.
Some say that the National Flower
Show has a bad effect on business for
the moment, but that it will stimulate
the demand later. Others assert that
business is suffering a temporary lull
before the pre-Easter revival, which is
sure to come. The demand for Aspara-
gus plumosus is excellent.
The National Flower Show.
The local press to a great extent
voices public sentiment; it is warm in
its praise of the National Flower Show.
It has touched the hearts of the people

as nothing of the kind has ever done
before, and deservedly so. Censure in
no mild form is meted out to the man-
agement for admitting people to the
show free on Sunday, April 2, after sell-
ing a large number of half-price tickets
for that of the closing day. This cer-
tainly was an error. Sunday should
have been a half -priced or a free day,
but not both at the same time. In the
great English shows there are certain
hours when a high price, say 10 shill-
ings, is charged and obtained. There
are certain other hours during the same
day when a low price, say 2 shillings,
is charged and obtained. These hours
are clearly advertised beforehand. The
former are favored by the aristocracy;
the latter by the democracy. They do
not conflict. It is unfortunate that in
our great show just closed, the greatest
in the history of this country, an error
of this kind should have been made. It
lays us open to the charge of trickery,
which would be unjust, but we cannot
say that it is unfounded.

FLORISTS' REVIEW
When Writing Advertisers
No. 4708
|E HAVE been building florists' refrigerators for
15 years, and it has been our aim to build
only the best in every way. Within that time
our business has grown rapidly, until today,
what was at the start a very small shop is
a large and completely equipped and perfectly
organized factory. Our success in the making and mar-
keting of Florists' Special Refrigerators has been very
tmtif ying, and we attribute this success to a thorough and
practical understanding of the requirements of florists, as
well as to a ti.Ked determination to excel in this particular
line of manufacturing.
We e.x:ercise the greatest care in the selection of all
materials entering into our goods, and each and every part
is thoroughly Inspected by our experts. In this way we
are able to make refrigerators which not only appeal to
the eye for their beauty of design and linish, but which
excel in every other way.
To establish the reputation we enjoy has required care-
ful study of the florists' special needs and constant guard-
ing against imperfect workmanship and the use of inferior
materials; to maintain this reputation shall ever be our
constant aim, and we promise to all the utmost satisfaction.

week was good, despite Lent. There
were a number of large decorations
and funeral work has been heavy. Boses,
carnations and daflfodils have been in
igood demand. Valley continues poor
and the sale is draggy at $5 per hun-
dred. Lilacs have been selling well.
Gardenias are more plentiful than they
have been, but continue to bring $3 per
dozen. All of the orchids still are from
the north and are not so plentiful as
formerly. Easter lilies continue to
bring $10 and $12 per hundred. There
is enough locally grown stock to supply
the demand. Southern jonquils are
flooding the market. These are of fine
quality, but there are too many to
find a ready sale. Sweet peas of fine
quality have been coming in by the
wagon-load. The price has declined, but
the growers are moving large quanti-
ties. The street men are purchasing
Spencer peas by the thousands, offering
them in competition with the store-
keepers at almost unbelievable prices.
There has been a bad break in the
carnation quotations. A few specials
bring $4 per hundred, but aside from
these the prices scale down to what the
buyer chooses to offer. The quality is
good. There continues to be a shortage
of Beauties and they are holding up in
price, with the demand good. Snap-
dragon is extra fine and is selling read-
ily at $6 to $10 per hundred.
Various Notes.
Postmaster William F. Kasting, of
Buffalo, N. Y., spent several days in
Washington last week, coming here at
the conclusion of the Philadelphia
flower show. Although here on official
business of the Post Office Department,
Mr. Kasting had time to visit a num-
ber of the stores and make the rounds
of the greenhouses.
John McCabe, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Michael J. McCabe, of Good Hope road,
Anacostia, D. C, has been exonerated
from blame for the death of Mrs. Mar-
garet Everly, whom he ran down while
driving an automobile delivery wagon.
The accident occurred on Pennsylvania
avenue, near Seventh street, southeast,
as young McCabe was driving his par-
ents home from their stand in the mar-
ket. He was driving well within the

By placing an ordinary shallow cake pan in bottom of bas-
ket, after mossing, and covering same with wire screen,
with moss or piece of cheesecloth over screen (to prevent
soil from dropping into pan) you have a self-watering bas-
ket. Try this.

More than a score of visitors called
at the store of the Gude Bros. Co. last
week. They came from all sections of
the country. Included among them
were E. W. Ehmann, of Oroville, Cal.;
Elizabeth Hayden, Kansas City, Mo.;

display window of the Gude Bros. Co.
is attracting considerable attention.
The display marks the holding here of
the annual bowling tournament of the
Atlantic Coast Bowling Association, of
which William F. Gude is president.
The whole is surrounded by Rambler
roses and other flowers.
The window display contest to be held
here under the auspices of the Wash-

town, it has more than fifty florists,
which is due chiefly to its proximity to
New York. Recently a number of the

organized the Florists' and Gardeners'

Tlie Market.
Business is in a healthy condition,
though it is somewhat quiet just now,
due to Lent and the stormy weather.
Within the last ten days large num-
bers of potted rose bushes in full bloom
have appeared in the market and have
proved quite popular. Cut roses were
more plentiful, American Beauties be-
ing abundant. Ophelia, Ward, Sun-
burst and other popular varieties, some
of which have been scarce of late, now
are arriving in quantities sufficient for
requirements. The prices consequently
are somewhat lower, although they
keep up fairly well. Carnations are
plentiful and fine quality flowers are
selling at reasonable prices'. Sweet
peas are abundant and cheap. The
quality is all that can be desired. The
Spencers seem to be the most- popular,
few of the older varieties coming into
the market. The supply of valley is
increasing and the price is receding
slightly. There is a flood of bulbous
stock, but the quality is fine. Mar-
guerites are good and play a part in
the window displays. Easter lilies are
fine and more plentiful /than they have
been. Pansies and other spring flowers,
as well as pussy willows, are seen
in the flower shops in much larger
quantities.
Various Notes.
Charles E. Maillard reports no heavy
demand for seeds and plants for spring

Philips Bros, report that business is
quieter than it has been, though fair
considering that it is Lent. They enjoy
a lively sale of potted plants.
M. Gahr reports that business thus
far this year has been far greater in
volume than that of the first three
months of last year, which augurs well
for good business during the rest of
the year.
Henry A. Strobell reports that busi-

The J. J. Wilson Seed Co. reports a

The Market.
Fair business was reported for last
week, funeral work keeping things mov-
ing at a brisk rate. The supply of stock
is short and prices are above the
normal. Retailers and growers are par-
ticularly interested in the rapidly ap-
proaching Easter. Although the day is
somewhat later than usual, the season
is about four weeks behind. Violets
will be especially shy; lilies will be
plentiful and of good quality and roses
and carnations will be in good supply.
Bulbous stock will be plenteous and
moderately priced.
Various Notes.

home last week with an attack of the

The Market.
The cut flower situation was satisfac-
tory to the retailers last week, but not
so to the wholesalers or growers. Stock
was plentiful. The great abundance of
all grades of stock arriving daily forced
prices down in order that the stock
could be disposed of. The low prices
applied only to thousand lots. Business
last week was not brisk for the retailer
on account of the rainy, cold and damp
weather.

SpecialUe in the caj?efnl filling
of Telee^raph Orders
In looking over the various markets
daily, I found excellent roses in all va-
rieties at all times. Killarney, as usual,
was the bulk of the supply. Not many
good Beauties are seen of late, and
fancy Russells and Hadleys seem to
have taken their place. Carnations are
fine, but the supply far exceeds the de-
mand. In these, Enchantress has the
call. Sweet peas are magnificent, but
the big supply of these has forced the
price too low for the quality of the
stock. Other stock, such as tulips,
lilacs, snapdragons, valley, lilies, Dutch
hyacinths and orchids, holds its own in
price. All greens sell well, owing to
the shortage of smilax.
Various Notes.
All florists belonging to the union
met March 30, at the public library.
The bosses of the various retail estab-
lishments were invited to attend. A
heated discussion took place regarding
the number of working hours and extra
pay for overtime. Nine working hours
per day and extra pay for overtime for
all members of the union was decided
on. The meeting was well attended and
all were pleased with the outcome.
The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold
its regular meeting April 13. This
meeting will be -especially interesting,
for those who attended the National
Flower Show in Philadelphia will tell
of their trip. All chairmen of commit-
tees for our spring flower show will be
on hand to hear about the recent great
show.
April 12 Mrs. J. J. Beneke will en-
tertain the Lady Florists' Home Circle
at her home, 3648 Humphrey street.
At the wholesale establishment of
H. G. Berning, Otto Bruenig is superin-
tending the making of florists' wooden
easels, for which this concern finds a
good local and shipping demand. The
cut flower department was loaded to
the top all the week.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Florists' Club to devise
plans to organize a state florists' asso-
ciation, met March 31 at the home of
W. S. Wells, who is chairman, to pre-

pare a report. It was decided to send
Mr. Wells to Kansas City to lay the
matter before the club there.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber, St., will
leave this week for a ten days' stay
at French Lick Springs, ' where Mr.
Weber will take a much needed rest
before the Easter rush begins.
The monthly conference of the offi-
cers of the Florists' Club will be held
at the home of W. A. Eowe, of Kirk-
wood, April 6.
Among those of the local florists who
attended the Philadelphia National
Flower Show and have returned home
are Jules Bourdet, president of the Flo-
rists' Club, and F. C. Weber, Jr., secre-
tary of the Retail Florists' Association.
They report a great show, having
learned of and seen many new things.
Oscar Buff, head of the C. Bergster-
mann floral establishment, on ^outh
Grand avenue, says trade has been quite
good for Lent. Blooming plants meet
with a good demand daily.
The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. received large consignments of fine
quality stock last week. All seasonable
stock arrived in large quantities. Fancy
Darwin tulips had a big demand.
The Kalisch Bros. Floral Co., at
Delmar and Taylor avenues, and John
Boerm, near neighbors, report that busi-
ness in cut flowers and decorations has
fallen off since Lent began^ but that
blooming plants are selling well,
Paddy Patton is batting 300 in the
comedy league. He always has some-
thing new to spring on the unsuspect-
ing customer, who always enjoys the
pranks played by Paddy.
The greenhouse range of Werner
Bros., Clayton, Mo., is producing some
extra fancy cut stock. The rose crop
is large and fine. The carnations, tulips
and valley are among the best. A
house of lilies is in splendid time for

Easter. Thomas Peterson and Paul
Roper keep this place in fine shape.
The Shackelford Nursery Co. will be
in fine shape for Easter. Horace 'Lloyd,
head of this company, says that there
will be a large quantity of cut outdoor
bulbous stock from now until after
Easter.
Mrs. Diemer, head of the Diemer
Floral Co., on South Broadway, says
she has had an extraordinarily good
business in large funeral designs.
Grimm & Gorly featured dollar boxes
of cut flowers, some boxes containing
twenty-five roses. Advertisements in
the daily papers brought considerable
business for them, Marion Uhlschmidt,
manager of the east side store, is buy-
ing quite heavily in this market and
says that plenty of good stock on hand
makes business better.
The John Steidle greenhouses, at
Olivette, Mo., are producing a fancy cut
of roses and carnations, which are con-
signed to H. G. Berning.
Mrs. Bertha Buechel, wife of Edward
Buechel, of the Riessen Floral Co., died
last week. A full report is given in
this week's obituary column.

BOSTON.
The Market.
Owing to the warmer weather with
which we have been favored, flowers
have come along with a grand rush and
prices, as a result, have broken badly
nearly all along the line. The spring-
like weather has given opportunities
which have been lacking for a long
time for the handling of cut flowers
along the streets and temporary stores
have sprung up in many places. This
all helps to relieve the congestion, and
if street fakers were only allowed to
ply their vocation there would not be
much of a surplus. American Beauties
have taken a decided drop. Few buyers
are now willing to pay over $25 per hun-
dred for long-stemmed stock. Hybrid
teas of all kinds are in oversupply.
Prices, however, have not changed much
from a week ago. Ophelia, Killarney
Brilliant, Hadley, Stanley, Russell and
Sunburst are leaders. Carnations are
druggy and prices are low. The quality
is the best of the year.
Sweet peaa are arriving in tremen-
dous numbers and prices have taken a
considerable tumble. The winter
Spencers are now of superb quality.

There still are some single violets, but
they are nearly over. Prices on these
are about the same. Bulbous stock is
in heavy supply. Some Spanish iris,
anemones and ranunculi are now in-
cluded. Low prices have been the rule
for both lilies and callas, as low as $4
being accepted. Except for pink flowers,
the demand for snapdragons is not at all
good. For lily of the valley prices hold
up well. Yellow marguerites have taken
a big drop. Formet-me-not is hard to
sell; so are calendulas and mignonette.
Gardenias are now quite abundant. Of
Cattleya Schroederse there is an ample
supply, but there are fewer other orchids
now coming in. Asparagus still sells well.
Various Notes.
The attendance at the Philadelphia
show from here was large, equaling
that at New York in 1913, All were
well pleased with the show and enjoyed
the trip immensely, A large proportion
of the cut flower prizes came this way,
particularly in the sweet pea and car-
nation classes.
Alfred N. Eaton, of South Sudbury,
has a grand lot of carnations this sea-
son. Especially fine are White Wonder,
Matchless, Pink Delight and Mrs. Ward.
William Hannan & Son, of Dorchester,
are the largest local growers of Easter
lilies. This season they have nearly
50,000 plants and about all will hit it
right for Easter.

John McFarland has nearly 10,000
lilies in prime shape for Easter. All
are giganteums. He will force spirseas,
stocks and other Memorial day flowers,
later following with chrysanthemums.
Robert T. McGorum, of Natick, has
a fine lot of snapdragons and yellow
marguerites, in addition to roses, in
which he specializes. Of these Ophelia,
Hadley, Killarney and White Killarney
are now the leading producers.
W. S. Phelps, of liCxington, is cutting
a fine crop of the beautiful Delphinium
Belladonna. Delphinium Chinensis he
will be able to cut during the present
week. He cut his first Spanish iris
some days ago. Of these he has 20,000
planted in solid beds. Of the earliest
batches grown in flats not over flfty
per cent of the bulbs will flower, but
every bulb will flower when planted in
solid beds. -
Heavy cuts of lilies are coming in
from the Mishawum Flower Co., of
Woburn; E. D. Kaulbach & Son, of
Maiden, and R. P. Peterson, of Saxon-
ville.
In one of Penn's windows April 1 a
large group of Lilium myriophyllum
made a beautiful show. Rambler roses
in variety and baskets of roses filled
another window.
. N. F. Comley, of Lexington, states
that single violets with him will last
until the middle of April. He has three
large houses of sweet peas coming along
for Memorial day. Of carnations he
has a heavy cut. Quite a number of
his houses are devoted to lettuce and
cucumbers.
Neil S. Boyle, of Maiden, had numer-
ous visitors at his greenhouses April 2
to inspect his giganteum lilies. Of these
he has 10,500 in prime condition for

tively light. The Philadelphia show
gave local men about all the spring ex-
hibition they need and the passing of
the snow brings a tremendous accumula-
tion of spring work.
March, 1916, set several records. One
was in the snowfall, which amounted
in the aggregate to thirty-three inches
in fourteen days. A year ago the same
month was absolutely dry, not a trace
of snow or rain falling. Total precipi-
tation was 3.21 inches. The mean tem-
perature was 31 degrees, or 4 degrees be-
low the normal. So far we have had
seventy-six inches of snow this winter,
but in western Massachusetts, in the
Berkshire hills, as much as 134 inches
has fallen. Spring planting and digging
of nursery stock will start in earnest
this week.
From the Montgomery Co., Hadley,
Mass., the Boston Eose Co. is receiving
large shipments of Hadley, Ophelia,
Bussell and Sunburst roses of grand
quality. Hadley was the star among
the roses at the late Philadelphia show.
The Montgomery Co. will build a rose
house 40x500 feet this season.
At the next meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, April 18, F. A.
Smith, principal of the Essex Agricul-
tural School, Danvers, Mass., will lec-
ture on "Orcharding."

Seed Trade News
AMEBICAN SEED TRADE A8B00IATI0H.
President, John M. Lupton, Mattituck, L. I.;
Secretary-Trtasurer. C. E. Kendel, Cleyeland, O.
Thirty-fourth annual convention, Chicago. June
20 to 22, 1916.
The death of E. J. Sheap, of S. M.
Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich., is recorded
in the obituary column this week.
Ip the outdoor tulips bloom in only the
same percentage the forced stock has, a
lot of seedsmen and florists will find
themselves in an embarrassing position.
The Holland growers have not done
•well with spiraea in either of the last
two years. Exporters have had poor
trade, have paid. low prices and quan-
tities of stock remain unsold.
The withdrawal of the Eotterdam, the
largest boat plying between a neutral
European country and New York, is re-
ported on another page of this issue. It
has been carrying great quantities of
plants and seeds.
Wholesale seedsmen in Australia re-
port an unusual demand for seeds for ex-
port, but are unable, to accept any large
percentage of the business because of
crop failures. Also, shipping space is
almost unobtainable.
The prospect of obtaining German
seeds this season becomes steadily poorer.
In addition to what Britain does to stop
the traffic, the Gterman government has
prohibited the exportation of about every-
thing affecting the food supply of the
German people.
The mail-order seed houses have about
given up hope of a r^cpi;d season. March
in some instances has turned out twenty
to thirty per cent behind last year and the
volume of orders receded slightly in the
last ten days of the month, with contin-
ued recession as is usual in April, rather
than the recovery that was hoped for.
The Western Canners' Association, at
its recent meeting at Chicago, took action
to establish a publicity bureau in charge
of Secretary George W. Drake to coun-
teract what the canners consider highly
undesirable publicity. It will be recalled
that it was Secretary Drake who tele-
graphed D. M. Ferry & Co., protesting at
its recent advertising reflecting on canned
vegetables.
An indication of how the country feels
on the subject of preparedness is seen in
the reply of an Ohio farmer to a com-
munication from his representative in
Congress, asking whether he wanted any
of the government's free vegetable and
flower seeds. The farmer sent a postal
card on which was written in large, bold
letters: "Cut out this graft; we want
battleships, not seeds."
Waldo Eohnert, the Gilroy seed
grower, was a visitill' in San Francisco
last week. Mr. Eohnert reports condi-
tions good as to the seed crops around
Gilroy and says the growers all report
a fine contract business, as the whole
world seems to be looking to California
for seeds this year. Inquiries are coming
from localities that have never purchased
much from California before. The heavy
rains, be says, did some damage in low
places, but there is still time to resow
some of these spots.

fertilizing materials, also agricultural
implements destined to local points in
New England, and not for export, shall

All existing embargoes are modified to
this extent.
OBJECTIONABLE SEED LAWS.
New seed laws have been passed in
Kentucky and New Jersey within the
last few days.
The New Jersey seed law is quite un-
satisfactory to the seed trade. It re-
quires labeling agricultural seeds, mix-
tures of such seeds, and vegetable seeds.
The label on the first two classes of
seeds mentioned, briefly stated, calls for
the name of the seed and, if a special
variety or strain of such seed is used,
it must be the true name; percentage
by weight of purity or freedom of such
seeds from foreign matter, or from
other seeds distinguishable by their ap-
pearance; percentage of germination;
the number per pound of the seeds of
noxious weeds, if present, in excess of
one seed in each five grams of the ag-
ricultural seed; the name of the seller.
The vegetable seeds must have a
label stating the name thereof and the
percentage of inert matter if in excess
of five per cent of the total weight of
such seeds, and the name of the seller.
The administration of this law is
turned over to the board of managers
of the New Jersey Agricultural Experi-
ment Station and its appointee, the seed
analyst, who are not public^fficials and
are not responsible to state control.
The seedsmeYi have felt aggrieved,
also, by the unhappy methods of the
proponents of the bill in driving it
through the New Jersey legislature.
The Kentucky bill is rather a close
copy of the views of the Association of
Official Seed Analysts in respect to uni-
form state seed bills. The bill affects
agricultural seeds and requires a label
stating the name of the seeds, name
and address of the seller, the approxi-
mate percentage by weight of purity,
meaning freedom from foreign matter
or from other seeds; the approximate
percentage by weight of the different
species of foreign seeds when sold as
mixtures and so labeled. The bill af-
fects agricultural seeds requiring a
statement of the approximate percent-
age of germination as shown by labora-
tory tests. No agricultural seeds con-
taining more than one of the certain
named noxious weed seeds to 2,000 agri-
cultural seeds shall be sold.
Garden and flower seeds in sealed
packets must be labeled with the ap-
proximate percentage of germination
and with the year in which the packet
was filled. Curtis Nye Smith.
SEED CORN TESTS.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
is issuing repeated warnings to farm-
ers to test all seed corn. It is declared
that the seed corn situation is prob-
ably more serious now than it has been
for years. On account of the late, cold
season and the heavy frosts in the early
part of last October little corn, espe-
cially in the northern half of the corn
belt, ripened naturally and at the time
of the first hard frosts much of it still
contained a large amount of moisture.
' ' Testing seed corn is always a wise
precaution," said Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture Vrooman, "but this year

Plants will now grow more rapidly, keep ahead of disease and
soon make choice stock for benching or bedding. It doesn't pay to
use stunted or hard-stemmed plants. Our several varieties are
the best that grow. Choice seed of our original Silver Pink at
$1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet,
White, Yellow, Buxton and fancy mixed, 35c per pkt.; :\ for $1.00.

it is a necessary one. A number of
seedsmen who have well constructed
seed houses report that they find the
early picked seed tests satisfactory, but
the seed picked later, even if properly
dried, is unsatisfactory. One test in
northeastern Nebraska showed ninety
per cent of the early field-picked seed to
be good, while only sixty-eight per cent
of the crib-selected seed germinated.
In many sections of northern Iowa and
Illinois the percentage of good seed is
much lower, even when the seed was
picked before frost and properly dried,
while seed picked from the wagon at
husking time, or from the crib, is prac-
tically worthless as seed. One reason
for this is that many farmers in this
section are raising corn of a large va-
riety which requires a full growing
season, and this corn did not ripen be-
fore the early frosts.

The Market.
The supply of all kinds of seasonable
stock is large and is easily able to take
care of all present demands. Roses of
all kinds, including American Beauties,
are plentiful and generally are of a
high quality. Carnations, too, are more
than abundant and of good quality. The
cut of Easter lilies is heavier than it
was. These meet with a good demand.
Sweet peas are in heavy supply; that
is, larger than for actual needs. Lily
of the valley, orchids and violets have
a poor market. Some fine jonquils,
daffodils and tulips may be had. Other
offerings include callas, snapdragons,
mignonette and Dutch hyacinths. Greens,
with the exception of smilax, are plen-
tiful.

Pacific Coast Department
San Luis Obispo, Oal. — William
. Zoeker has started a florists ' business
here and is busily stocking up his
place.
Berkeley, Cal.— W. H. Wolters, of
the Ashby Nursery, who has grown a
general line of nursery stock, plans to
erect a greenhouse this summer and
grow pot plants, especially ferns and
cyclamens.
Qlendale, Cal. — Miss Margaret Ellen
Boal has about 7,500 plants of Ulrich
Brunner roses and plans to specialize
in this one variety as an outdoor rose
for cut flowers. It is her ambition to
have her place known as the Million
Rose Farm.
PocateUo, Idaho— W. A. Staley, for
many years a member of the S. A. F.
and in business here during the last
seven years, died February 27, at the
age of 53. He was born in Pennsyl-
vania and conducted a business at
Meadville, Pa., before moving to Po-
cateUo, where he established the Poca-
teUo Floral Conservatory. Mrs. Staley,
who survives him, has sold the business
to J. E. Tarr, who will continue it un-
der the same name, with C. Wester-
gaard as manager.
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
A scarcity of outdoor flowers, espe-
cially carnations, developed in the lat-
ter part of last week, owing to the ef-
fect of a hailstorm. Hail is not com-
mon here and the size of the hailstones
was above anything seen in southern
California for a great many years.
Early in the present week an unusual
amount of funeral work, developed, ow-
ing to the death of several prominent
citizens. Taken altogether, the week
must be classed as good, though not
much above the average for this time
of year.
Roses are still coming Hn nice shape
in all the hybrid tea varieties. Beau-
ties are not quite as good as they were.
Spanish irises and fine tulips are among
the best new offerings in the bulbous
line, while a number of Easter lilies
are in. Much of the Easter stock will
be over this year before the day ar-
rives, especially if the weather should
turn hot, as it is liable to do at any
time. Orchids are somewhat on the
scarce side; so are valley and other
flowers suitable for corsage bouquets.
Sweet peas are beginning to come in
more plentifully. \Crood plants are
scarce, though some early spiraeas are
helping out a little.
Various Notes.
•A visit to the establishment of H.
W, Turner showed everything in the
best possible shape and stock plentiful,
though selling as fast as produced. The
newer types of baby roses are espe-
cially interesting, as almost every day
brings out some new phase of their
beauty. Replanting has begun earlier
than usual this season, in order to get
some of the newer kinds well established
early in the season. Mr. Turner has
practically rebuilt his dwelling house;
the improvements include new hardwood
floors, a new bathroom with all modern
electrical fittings, an electric cooking
stove and all new decoration^ through-
out.
At the store of the L. A. Floral Co.
business is reported brisk. Fred Sperry
has been a little under the weather
with stomach trouble, but is around
again and has started on a circular trip
to Pomona, Redlands, San Bernardino
and other points. As seen on the map
this does not look like much of a circle,
not even two-thirds of a circle, but Mr.
Sperry did not say when or by what
means he would return to the Angel
City.
The California .Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co. is evidently out for business.
Not only has this firm secured the out-
put of some of the largest growers of
cut flowers in this section, but it has
gone largely into the supply end of the
business. A look through the recently
arrived shipments from Europe and the
east reveals a wealth of novelties in
baskets and other supplies seldom seen
in this vicinity. Spirited buying and
an unequaled facility for handling large
stocks have had the effect of locating
under one roof practically everything
that a retail florist needs.
Passing the Bradbury home at
Duarte the other day, I looked in at
this fine place, which is now in charge
of John Robertson, recently nursery
foreman for the Germain Seed & Plant
Co. Much of the planting is of a semi-
natural style and some excellent ef-
fects have been obtained by blending
wild and cultivated shrubs. There are
a number of choice foliage plants in
the greenhouses, including rare forms
of marantas, philodendrons, anthuriunis,"
dracaenas and others. In other houses
melons, tomatoes and other crops are
grown in the European style. Lilacs
are in fine shape on the grounds; so,
also, are many conifers.
The Armstrong Nurseries, at Ontario,
are always interesting and Mr. Arm-
strong reports an excellent year's busi-
ness. There is a choice collection of
conifers, while all classes of young
stock for lining out are in good shape.
The Germain Seed & Plant Co. has
the contract for planting the home
grounds of Miss Kathryn Williams,
the noted moving picture actress.
Wright's Flower Shop is showing an
unusually fine lot of stock, including
many of the newer roses. A splendid
showing is also made with the white
forms of moth orchids, or phalsenopsis,
which are becoming more and more
popular as corsage flowers.
W. Armacost & Co., of Sawtelle, are
going to double their stock of orchids
this year. H. R. Richards.
SAN FRANCISCO.

The flower market still is glutted
with most kinds of stock, the demand
being comparatively light. Counter

and funeral work is the only depart-
ment that holds its own. Some of the
growers report more business from the
smaller shops in residential districts
than from'those downtown. Wild flow-
ers are a prominent feature, brodiaeas
being added to the list last week. For-
get-me-not does well, and stocks, mari-
golds, etc., are becoming more plentiful.
Some poeticus and a few freesias and
daffodils are offered and there is a
heavy cut of ixias, anemones and ra-
nunculi, which have been fairly well
received. Carnations are good and
bring fair prices for the season, and
sweet peas are doing a little better.
Violets are rapidly going off crop, but
are not missed. Hyacinths are going
out, while tulips are in great supply,
with really fine stock the exception.
Spanish iris is coming in better and will
soon be plentiful. The market is over-
loaded with lilac, though it is rather
popular. Peonies are magnificent and
with abundant offerings are largely
crowding orchids out as a display fea-
ture. There are enough cattleyas to
meet current demands and phalsenopsis
is almost too plentiful. The cut of gar-
denias is good and does not move as
fast as it did. Easter lilies are a little
scarce at the moment and a few callas
are moving. There are many lilies
ready to bloom. Valley continues scarce,
but the little appearing is good. The
market is fairly flooded with cheap
roses and the average stock is so good
that really fine lots move slowly. Baby
roses are now in ample supply. Pot
stock wins considerable attention.
Rambler roses are fine and fairly plenti-
ful. Wistaria is about at its best and
there are many fine rhododendrons.
Many good spiraeas have appeared and
more of them are expected soon.

Horticultural Society Dance.
The dance given by the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society March 25 was
the most interesting event in which the
society has participated since the last
S. A. F. convention, and H. Plath and
his able assistants of the dance com-
mittee are to be congratulated on the
success of their efforts to give the mem-
bers and their guests a good time. The
assembly hall of the Red Men's build-
ing was secured for the occasion, and
the dancers, numbering about 200, were
just comfortably accommodated. There
was a large showing of the members
of the society, especially of the young-
er members, many of whom are seldom
seen at the meetings. Most of the older
folk brought their families and the
Ladies' Auxiliary was well represented.
A few of those who are usually prom-
inent in the work of the society were
conspicuous by their absence, notable
among them being Daniel MacRorie and
A. J. Eossi, who had gone east for the
flower show. But the "dancing set,"
including many guests, were out in
force, and all had a most enjoyable
time. J. A. Axell presided over the
punch bowl, the ingredients of which
were compounded according to a secret
recipe confided to him by Mark Ebel.
The bowl was the center of attraction
for a small but select crowd of male
"wallflowers," who made up for their
lack of dancing ability — or agility? —
by their fluency at swapping yarns or
talking shop. The younger dancing
crowd, and some of the older ones as
well, kept the orchestra going until
well after midnight and enjoyed every
minute of the time.
In view of the success of the dance,
it is expected that increasing interest
will be taken in the picnic. D. Ray-
mond, who is looking after this matter,
has arranged for the picnic ground at
Pinehurst, across the hills from Oak-
land on the Oakland and Antioch line,
and it is expected that July 30 will be
the date tliosen.
Various Notes.
G. Podesta, a grower located on San
Bruno road, recently suffered the loss
of two houses of asparagus through a
peculiar accident. A gas main in the
street sprang a bad leak and the gas
found its way to a gopher hole, through
which it gained access to the houses,
and the plants were killed before it
was detected. The gas company has
offered to compromise, and two grow-
ers were selected to appraise the loss.
While the matter at last account was
not entirely settled, it is expected that
he will be paid about $500 for the loss.
C. Kooyman is again getting a nice
cut of long American Beauties, which
Bell well in spite of the general glut
in the rose market.
Mr. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, la.,
and Mr. Miller, of Farmington, Utah,
who has been spending several months
in southern California, made a visit to
San Francisco last week and spent some
time at the E. W. McLellan Co. nursery.
The E. W. McLellan Co. now is get-
ting a heavy crop of ixias and ra-
nunculi and most of it is exceptionally
flne, long stock.
Pelicano, Eossi & Co. had a striking
window decoration last week, which
they styled "Tulip Time in Holland."
The window, carpeted with moss, was
profusely decorated with tulips of many

Oakland's newest flower shop was
opened about a week ago by W. I.

of Seulberger 's, and has had long ex-

located at 1731 Broadway, opposite the
post office, and is considered by many
who have visited it to be the finest
shop in Oakland.

Unless all signs fail, the opening of

Various Notes.
John Willius, lessee of the Pfunder
Greenhouses on East Forty-Ninth
street, suffered considerable loss of
stock from freezing during the severe
weather. One house filled with aspara-
gus green collapsed and glass was brok-
en and blown out in many places all
over the range. Stock which was not
killed was stunted so that it will not
be productive this season. The build-
ings are so decayed that permanent re-
pairs are not practicable.
August ^itzewitz has found sale for
all the obconica primroses he grew. His
heating plant is not sufficient for serv-
ice during weather like that of last,
winter, but he has managed to come
through with some first-class stock.
A. Byron, of Oregon City, and Joseph
Bitz, of Jennings Lodge, share honors
in growing most of the sweet peas
now seen at the fiower stores.
Thomas Ellingham is having a good
cut of carnations and asparagus green,
with which his entire range is now
filled. He can take care of the place

preferably by the Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. C, and car-
ried on in a businesslike manner. This
would be much the better plan to pur-
sue, as it would then be national in its
scope and not confined to any one
state.
The Secretary's Gtood Work.
At the annual meeting last year a
committee was appointed to look into
the grading of roses, and the naming
of those grades. Its findings, I trust,
will be adopted by the society.
In conclusion I want to add a word
of praise for our secretary, who'*has
labored all these years unselfishly and
untiringly with the thought always of
what was best for the society. He has
spent time and money for the society
wherever and whenever needed, and has
been one of its mainstays, taking hold
of the secretaryship when no one want-
ed the job and when the society was
almost down and out. To him we owe,
I believe, more than to any other one
person, the bringing of the society to
where it is today. 'Let us hope that
our society can be put on a financial
basis that will allow us to pay our sec-
retary a salary in the future and that
every member will work for a larger
and better society. This is the wish of
your president.

The nurseryman who has idle moments
now never will be busy.
J. G. Harrison & Sons, nurserymen of
Berlin, Md., have opened a display and
Bales room at 931 Chestnut street, Phila-
delphia, with F. A. C. Vosters in charge.
The office of the landscape department
of the P. J. Berckmans Co., which is not
at the nursery, but downtown, in the
Chronicle building, was burned out dur-
ing the recent big fire there, most of the
records as well as the equipment being
lost. The fire did not, however, in any
way affect the company 's nursery busi-
ness.
The Federal Horticultural Board, in
connection with the notice published in
this department of The Review for March
30, is asking the trade in the east to
sign the following pledge: Receipt is
acknowledged of your circular letter of
March 22, 1916. In consideration of
similar agreements by other eastern nur-
serymen and your witl^holding for the
present the establishment of a domestic
quarantine on account of the white pine
blister rust, I hereby promise and agree
not to ship or cause to be shipped any
white pines, currants or gooseberries
west of the line indicated therein.
BIGGEST BOAT WITHDRAWN
The Holland-America Line has laid
up the Rotterdam, the largest boat
plying between Rotterdam and New
York.
The announcement is of more than
passing interest to the trade because
nearly all the imports of plants and
seeds now come via Holland and the
withdrawal of the largest carrier will
still further cripple a service that has

drawing the big ship, while not an-
nounced in this country, is thought to
be the rising danger of loss at sea be-
cause of the operations of submarines.

The counsel of the Seed and Nursery
Trade Association April 3 had a con-
ference with the railroad officials of
the New York Central and New Haven
railroads and also with the Eastern
Freight Accumulation Conference con-
cerning the lifting bf embargoes on
seeds and nursery stock.
As readers of The Review were here-
tofore advised, the New Haven em-
bargo on seeds was lifted March 1 and
March 28 a permanent order against
embargo on seeds was made. On the
same road, March .'{1, the embargo on
nursery stock was lifted.
The New York Central lines and Bos-
ton & Albany have lifted embargoes
on seeds and nursery stock.
The Boston & Maine also has no em-
bargo on seeds or nursery stock. The
Pennsylvania has cooperated in the lift-
ing of embargoes.
It is of the greatest importance that
seeds and nursery stocks shall go for-
ward promptly, as the planting season
is at hand. The railroad officials havo
shown an earnest desire to assist in this
movement. If any seedsman or nursery-
man finds any delay in shipments, tele-
graph his complaint at once to the vice-
president in charge of traffic of the

NURSERYMEN'S ASSOC?IATI0N.
The Reconstruction Plan.
With the advent of spring there
comes a reminder to nurserymen every-
where that the forty-first annual con-
vention of the American Association of
Nurserymen will be held at Milwaukee,
Wis., June 28 to 30.
Unusual interest attaches to this an-
nouncement. At the Detroit meeting
last year a new constitution was adopt-
ed, the object sought being to en-
hance the value of the organization to
members. Article 2 of the new con-
stitution states that the object of the
association shall be to promote the
general interests of its members: First,
by relaxation from business; second,
the cultivation of personal acquaint-
ance with others engaged in the trade;
third, the exhibition of fruits, flowers,
plants and manufactured articles used
in the business; fourth, the exchange
and sale of stock; fifth, to promote, by
all means in its power, increased knowl-
edge and use of nursery products among
the people. The association as it ex-
ists today under the reconstruction plan
occupies a unique position before the
trade and it is evident that the men
whom the association expects to retain
or to secure as new members will think
niore of their membership because of
the action referred to.

bers a folder telling of the arrange-

sociation of Nurserymen," in which
Mr. Mayhew tells of the larger scope
given the association 's activities and
the increased benefits to members.
The association embraces two classes
of members, viz.: Active, or voting
members, who are actively engaged in
the nursery business; associate, or non-
voting members, embracing horticul-
tural implement makers, dealers in sup-
plies and those in allied trades. The
fee for active members is $5 plus a
sum determined by the size of the
active member's business, and for as-
sociate members $10. This includes two
lines for name and address in the
Badge Book, the oflS^cial roster of the
association membership. Members are
privileged to advertise in the Badge
Book; the cost of doing so is trivial.
Convention Facts.
As usual, the program for the con-
vention will appear in the Badge Book,
which will be mailed about the first
week of June. The make-up of the
program was placed in the hands of
Lloyd C. Stark, whose experience fur-
nishes a guarantee of a program of
quality. T. J. Ferguson has charge of
all arrangements and what of enter-
tainment there will be. The space as-
signed for exhibits at the convention is
more than ample. Intending exhibitors,
including nurserymen, lithographers,
manufacturers of tools, implements or
anything else used by the trade, should
communicate with A. F. Meehan,
Dresher, Pa., chairman of the exhibit
committee. A charge of 5 cents per
square foot of exhibition space will be
made, with a minimum of 50 cents for

ORCHARDISTS GET TOGETHER.
With the government at its back, an
organization which already embraces
ninety per cent of the growers and
shippers of apples in the northwest has
been formed for the purpose of mar-
keting boxed apples and some other
fruit this season on a cooperative basis.
The organization, it js said, wiir insure
a fair margin of profit to its members
through better marketing information
and facilities.
This announcement wns made by
C. E. Bassett, Clarence W. Mooman and
W. H. Kerr, government market ex-
perts of the Department of Agriculture,
who are in Portland, Ore., after sev-
eral months of organization work in
the northwest. The organization will
market in an orderlv manner ninety
per cent of the $200,000,000 crop grown
on the 530,000 acres in apples in the
four northwestern states of Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and Washington.
USINGER'S UTTERANCES.
Raymond S. Rainbow, of Fair Oaks,
T*a., recently installed a new icebox. A
good showing of spring flowers was
noted. Several pieces of design work
were being made for out-of-town de-
livery.
A striking window of yellow attract-
ed one's attention to the beautiful dis-
play of spring flowers in the new store
of G. Wessenaur, of Sewickley, Pa. The
walls are almost entirely of glass, ad-
joining a greenhouse used for show pur-
poses, and naturally the i)lace is noticed
for a considerable distance. Yellow tu-
lips and daffodils, roses and genistas
were displayed, besides many fine speci-
mens of azaleas, hydrangeas; primroses,
lilies and some rare ferns and foliage
plants. A new White truck was added
to the delivery equipment last week.
Mrs. W. H. Rosenbauer, of Sewickley,
Pa., has been confined to the sick-room
for several months Although she is
convalescent, it will be several weeks
before she will be able to be about.
The breaking up of winter, with a
few springlike days last week, caused
a rush for seeds at .1. W. Glenn's, of
Kittanning, Pa.
George Bros. & Vo. have opened a
store opposite the Pennsylvania depot
in New Kensington, Pa.
The continued demand for funeral
work has delayed J. Weimer & Sons, of
A'erona, Pa., in their out<loor work.
Several handsome designs were noted,
especially a star and crescent design in
white and pink. W. T. U.
London, England. — It was but a
short time ago that the trade learned
with regret of the disappearance of
one great Chelsea nursery, that of
James Veitch & Sons, and now we
have news of the passage of another
landmark of horticulture by the clos-
ing of the neighboring nursery and
seed business of W. Bull & Sons. It is
announced that Edward Bull, the sur-
viving partner in the firm, retired
from the nursery business March 31

The Market.
Business was exceedingly good last
week on account of the "Dress Up"
movement, which was widely adver-
tised in this city, not only by the de-
partment stores but also by many of
the retail florists. Corsages were a
specialty and popular-priced cut flowers
and blooming plants were heavily ad-
vertised. The results were satisfying.
The majority of the flower shops bad
attractive window decorations for the
occasion.
The sunshine last week brought quan-
tities of flowers of good quality. Roses
are more abundant than they have been
for months. This is especially true of
Shawyer, Russell, Killarney, Rhea
Rheid, Ophelia and Sunburst. Killar-
ney are in splendid color at present.
Carnations are quite abundant and of
excellent quality. Some handsome snap-
dragons are being shown on the mar-
ket. Violets are becoming scarce.
Spring flowers are plentiful and meet
with a brisk demand. Poeticus nar-
cissi, yellow, red and white tulips,
Dutch hyacinths, jonquils and freesias
are the best on the market at present.
Many spring openings last week called
for elaborate decorations. Aside from
this demand, there was a liberal quan-
tity of funeral work. During the
month of March business was excep-
tionally good, notwithstanding the ad-
vent of the Lenten season, and it com-
pares favorably with the preceding
months of the year, and far surpasses
the volume of business for March, 1915.
The growers are busy bringing their
blooming plants into the greenhouses
from the coldframes and preparing for
the Easter trade.
Various Notes.
F. J. Knecht & Co. are shipping a
large cut of Shawyer and Russell roses,
as well as supplying the local market.
A. J. Lantemier & Co. had a fine

thoroughfare their store attracted con-
siderable attention.

INDIANA FLORISTS TO MEET.
That big spring meeting of the State
Florists' Association of Indiana has
been announced for Tuesdaj', April 11,
at Terre Haute. So make due note of
the day and arrange to go. The Terre
Haute Florists' Club is preparing for
you and, since this is the first meeting
ever held in Terre Haute, a record at-
tendance is anticipated.
There is not enough room here to
speak of the merits of the new t)avi8
Gardens at Terre Haute, but I must say
that the members would have diflSculty
in finding a more up-to-date range. The
following is the program of the day:
The members will assemble at the
Davis Gardens by boarding a South
Seventh street autobus at the J. G.
Heinl store, or at Seventh street and
Wabash avenue, when arriving at Terre
Haute.
Lunch will be served promptly at 12
noon at the Davis Gardens, which will
be followed by the business session.
A tour of the various establishments
by auto has been arranged for the
afternoon, commencing at the Davis
Gardens.
The Indianapolis florists will leave
their city 7:15 a. ni., via the Big Four.
Don 't forget to bring those novelties
you have been nursing, as well as the
well grown standard sorts. If unable to
attend yourself, ship the exhibit to the
Davis Gardens, Terre Haute, Ind., and
it will be taken care of and properly
staged.
The officers and members of the Terre
Haute Florists' Club desire to make this
the banner meeting of the year, so
don't disappoint them. Also remember
that we want a total enrollment of 200
members by January 1, 1917. Please
do your part.

THE BEST RED CARNATION
RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT!
WINNER of the Silvrer Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo. 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1916. It has never been beaten at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the
flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers
grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the En-
chantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the
1st of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
Booted cuttings now ready for delivery.
Price of the rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate price.
Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.
We have 1600 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively to rooted cuttings.
Orders for Pacific Coast States will please be sent to our Western Branch,

LANCASTEE EMPLOYEES MEET.
The monthly meeting of the Lan-
caster County Florists' and Gardeners'
Employees' Fraternity was held March
30, at its headquarters in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms, 19 East Orange
street, with President Louis Benner in
the chair. Although the weather was
most miserable, there were thirty mem-
bers present. After the report of the
previous meeting, by Secretary Geiter,
nine members were admitted and five
applications were read.
Alphonse Peters was elected to repre-
sent the fraternity at the National
Flower Show at Philadelphia. E. V.
Hardy, a flower pot manufacturer of
this city, was made an honorary mem-
ber. In a few words of thanks he in-
vited the members to visit his plant,
where a hearty welcome would await
them. The invitation was accepted and
turned over to the visiting committee
for further action. Mr. Stirk, grower
and manager for the Misses Buchler,
gave the boys an interesting talk on
greenhouse economy.
A smile about the size of a first-class
William Turner chrysanthemum rested
on the face of every member when the
secretary read the report of the in-
crease in the coffers of the treasurer
during the last three months. This was
brought to a climax when Treasurer J.
Clerico announced that the Fulton Na-
tional Bank was a caretaker of the
bulk. A committee of five was ap-
pointed to arrange a festival for the
end of May, to fortify the death bene-
fit fund of the fraternity. A visiting
trip to the La Parks greenhouses at
Paradise was arranged for April 9.
The next meeting will be held April
10, at 7:30 p. m., when a report of the
National Flower Show will be read by
A. Peters.

Fine Easter Plants
Our stock of Easter Plants has never been so fine as this year; careful
selection and good growing have enabled us to offer to our customers the
finest stock of plants that can be seen anywhere, of good commercial sizes
and at the right prices for good stock. Don't delay ordering, as
good Easter stock will be scarce this year owing to the fact that some grow-
ers were afraid that they could not hold their stock back until the 23rd of
April, while others only planted half their usual Easter stock, so they could
grow their spring stock
AZAIjEAS. We have our usual large
stock of this popular plant in large and
small sizes and in the best popular
varieties: Mme. Vander Cruyssen, we
are exceptionally strong in this popu-
lar variety, in 6 and 7-in, pots, 75c,

PITTSBURGH.
The Market.
Trade conditions are decidedly of the
Lenten sort. Prices have fallen on
most kinds of stock, especially on Beau-
ties, lilies and sweet peas. There has
been nothing of importance to create a
special demand and the weather has not
been pleasant enough for wearing flow-
ers outdoors; so the demand has
slumped all around.
Various Notes.
The Pittsburgh Florists' Club, at its
meeting April 4, had an exhibition of
Easter plants and heard from the mem-
bers who had been at Philadelphia.
Among those who stopped off here on
their way home from Philadelphia were
Robert C. I^err, of Houston, Tex., and
Mrs. N. Kiger, of Marietta, O.
Almost everyone has been at the
Philadelphia show and all seem to have
been pleased with it. Clarke.

The Council Bluffs bowlers took re-
venge on the Omaha home guard
March 29 for the defeat they suffered
three weeks ago, and gave our trades-
men a drubbing that will not soon be
forgotten. We would like to see the
Omaha boys display a little more inter-
est in the contests and report earlier,
as some who live far out prefer to use
the street cars rather than the taxis.

BUFFALO.
The Market.
There is an abundant supply of all
kinds of stock, with the exception of
one or two items. Beauty conditions
continue about the same, there being
only a small increase in the supply.
Other varieties of roses are more plenti-
ful and clear daily, but some of the
extra long-stemmed stock is inclined to
drag. Short stock is cleaned up daily.
Maryland roses are again in great de-
mand and Bussells are improving
rapidly. Carnations did not experience
any noticeable change last week. The
quality is good, with a small percentage
of splits. Whites clear easily, as many
are used in funeral pieces, which at
present are keeping the retailers rather
busy.
Easter lilies are about equal to the
demand. Valley is none too abundant,
but it has a tendency to drag, neverthe-
less. Sweet peas, however, are playing
an important part in the market. Bulb-
ous stock of all kinds has decreased in
supply, although it meets with a fair
demand. Violets are not moving so
well as before the large crop of peas
came on. Peas, naturally, are more
used for corsages. Orchids are as scarce
as ever. Gardenias have increased much
in quantity and their quality is good.
Greens of all kinds are in great de-
mand for funeral work and decorations.
Various Notes.
Among the many florists who attend-
ed the National Flower Show were S. A.
Anderson, David Scott and William
Ehmann. Joseph Streit, formerly of
Buffalo, stopped off at Buffalo for sev-
eral hours to greet his old friends.
Wendelin Preisach, of Corfu, is pick-
ing some fine peas.
The Ever-Ready Flower Pot Cover Co.
reports a great demand in pot covers
for the Easter business.
Recent visitors were Charles Falken-
heim, of the Basket Novelty Co., New
York; E. Neiman, of the Park Floral
Co., Denver, Col. A. E.
Oreensburg, Ind. — Ira Clark has start-
ed a downtown stand, of which Miss
Nell Clark is manager. Mr. Clark will
devote his time to the South Broadway

ICDTNEAPOLIS.
Various Notes.
Will Desmond, manager of the floral
department of the L. S. Donaldson Co.,
has returned from the National Flower
Show at Philadelphia. He is quick to
pick up anything worth emulating. ^ At
the Donaldson greenhouses there is a
fine stock of Easter goods. The show-
ing for Easter at the Nicollet avenue
store is always a great feature, and it
will be better than ever this season.
The Donaldsons certainly do back up
their managers in every way possible.
Miss H. B. Whitted is at Atlantic
City for a well earned vacation.
The Hiawatha Gardens Co. has a fine
lot of Easter lilies in view for the
Easter trade.
We are having fine, bright days, with
frost at night. This is making all the
florists anxious about Easter stock.
Easter is so late that, unless handled
with skill and forethought, stock will
be in a poor condition. Shading the
greenhouses has already been resorted
to in some cases. Azaleas are in short
supply. In some instances they are
soft and not too well budded.
Wessling's Greenhouses are filled
with stock in anticipation of a heavy
trade, which, up to the present time, has
been good. Eetailers and florists are
already placing their orders for Easter
stock. The growers are asking 10 to
12 cents per bud for lilies of good
quality. Good azaleas are worth $1.50
to $2.00 each. Boston ferns, 5-inch
pots, are 30 cents, and 6-inch pots 50
cents. At these prices there is a scar-
city of good ferns. There is an ap-
preciable quantity of young plants for
Memorial day, however.
The Minneapolis Floral Co. has been
unusually busy. March 29 this con-
cern had sixty corsages to make up for
the graduates of the agricultural col-
lege. Mrs. Ward roses and white sweet
peas were used.
Minneapolis is well supplied with
good seed houses, offering first-class
stock and first-class service. They pay
heavy taxes and this is how they are
handicapped. Mr. Smith will give away
vegetable and flower seeds at a smoker.
Mr. Smith obtained them from the gov-
ernment, and has $100 worth of them.
W. Crum, previously with the L. 8.
Donaldson Co. as designer, has left
that company and assumed the man-
agement of the floral department of the
E. M. Chapman Co., at Tenth street and
Nicollet avenue. P. E. B,

Creenhoase 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 Beview 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 ipeeial
field of its adaptation.
WILL INSTALL A GENEBATOB.
Enclosed you will find a sketch of
my range of four greenhouses, which
run east and west. Please let me know
how to pipe houses No. 3 and 4, on the
north side of the range. Houses No. 1
and 2 are already piped. We heat with
hot water and I wish to use 2-inch pipe
for the returns. House No. 3 will be
used for roses, No. 4 for sweet peas
and violets. The houses adjoin, but
have a partition between them. The
north wall of house No. 4 contains four
feet of glass. The gable ends are ex-
posed. The boiler is in a pit nine feet
deep. I intend to install a generator;
what size will be needed! The houses
are six and one-half feet high to the
gutters and twelve feet high to the
ridge. E. J. C— O.
For house No. 3, which, as shown by
the sketch, is 22%xl50, we would use
three 2%-inch flow pipes, placing one
on each plate and the other three feet
below the ridge. To maintain a tem-
perature of 65 degrees, we would pro-
vide three coils, each containing three
2-inch return pipes. One of these
should be on each wall, or under the
side benches, and the other coil should
be under the middle benches. In house
No. 4 we would also put in three flow
pipes, but, although the house is one
foot wider than house No. 3 and has
four feet of glass in the outside wall,
it will be possible to maintain a tem-
perature of 55 degrees by using eight
2-inch returns.
These houses will contain about 2,-
400 square feet of radiation, and, if the
other houses have about the same
amount, the generator should be able
to handle a system with approximately
5,000 square feet of radiation.

The Kroeschell
la making the most
wonderful greenhouse
heating record in the
world. Florists who
have used other makes
are constantly giving
the Kroeschell the
highest praise.
10.788,000 BQ. ft.
of glass was equipped
with the Kroeschell
Boiler during the past
five years.
The Kroeschell
has replaced hun-
dred s of cast iron boil-
ers. In every case
higher temperatures
are secured with the
Kroeschell with the
same piping and with
less fuel.
The Kroeschell is
sold direct from fac-
tory to users. This
eliminates the unnec-
essary middleman's
profit.
nnndreds of FloriBta' Review n-aders are using the Kroeschell
Boiler and mighty is their pitoise. The year of 1915 brought an
enormous nnmber of new customers who saw our boiler in opera-
tion at other places. We attribute the large sales of this season to
the good work the Kroeschell Boiler Is doing everywhere.
With bur policy— "the customers' Interest first" — perfection of construction —
factory to user prir«s — honest and "true blue" boiler ratings — ^you simply cannot
lose.

The required size and height of a
chimney depend to some extent on the
character of the surroundings, since in
a location where the wind is broken by
trees, buildings or hills, a higher chim-
ney will be required than where there
are no obstructions. Boilers with long
return flues also require higher chim-
neys than where they are fairly direct.
Under average conditions, we would sug-
gest the use of a 12-inch chimney, thir-
ty-five feet high. With a slightly
larger chimney the height could be les-
sened, in an open country. The size of
grate mentioned seems unduly large and
the smoke flue rather small for a heat-
er with the rating given.
If the returns are three feet above
the top of the boiler, a 2-inch flow pipe
will supply 200 square feet of radiation,

1^-inch, 2.7 pounds; 154-111611, 2.25
pounds; l-inch, 1.7 pounds.
To maintain a temperature of 50 de-
grees in zero weather, we generally
reckon , that twenty-five feet of hot
water radiation will be required for each
100 feet of glass. This is for the water
at 150 to 160 degrees. If the water
can be maintained at an average of
180 degrees, which we do not advise,
twenty-one feet of pipe will heat 100
square feet of glass.
POSITION OF FLOW PIPES.
In The Eeview of March 23, page 91,
in your reply to 6. B. W. — 0., giving
directions for the piping of a green-
house 20x50, you say: "We would use
for carnations three 2-inch flow pipes
and either seven 2-inch or nine 1%-
inch returns, all of which may be under
the benches." Do you mean that all
of the returns may be under the benches,
or all of the piping, both returns and
flow pipes!
We are planning a house 18x50, five
feet high at the sides and eleven feet
high to the ridge. The south wall will
contain two and one-half feet of glass,
on hinges. The north wall will have
no glass, as it will be close to another
building. There will be glass in the
east end from the height of the eaves
upward. We shall heat with hot wa-
ter. Would it be satisfactory to use
about the same piping as is recom-
mended in the paragraph from which
I quoted, and should the fiow pipes
be, preferably, above or below t The
house will be used mainly for growing
carnations, with some mixed stock, and
for propagating. C. B. P. — 111.
The use of overhead fiow pipes im-
proves the circulation in a hot water
system, but when the returns are two
or three feet above the top of the boiler
it is possible to place the flows as
well as the returns under the benches,
and thus secure the benefit of the bot-
tom heat.
For a house 18x50, with two and one-
half feet of glass in the south wall, to
be used for carnations, we would use
three 2-inch flow pipes and either sev-
en 2-inch or nine 1^-inch returns, as
suggested for G. B. W. Another method
of piping would be to use two 2%-inch
flows and either eight 2-inch or ten 1^^-
inch returns. If the flows are overhead,
there is seldom any trouble in securing
a good circulation.

The Market.
The market is in a much healthier
condition than for some weeks. A few
dull days last week made things look
bad, but the market changed tor the
better and stock is now cleaning up
well. The prospects are bright for a
big Easter business. The stock for
cutting looks fine and, with ordinarily
good weather, there will be a big crop.
On account of the recent cold weather,
bulbous stock may hold out and be in
good condition for Easter. A good many
orders are being accepted on this class
of stock for Easter shipment. It is a
question whether or not violets will be
in the market. They are still in fine
condition and if the weather is not too
warm they may be salable at Easter.
Just now there is a glut of double vio-
lets and the prices are down. Some
extra fine singles are to be had and are
cleaning up at good prices. There seems
to be enough valley to go around and
the prices are quite satisfactory. The
new crop of sweet peas is not heavy,
but is fancy stock and is selling easily.
The old crop is inferior and is hard to
move.
Carnations are cleaning up better
than they have been and there is no
surplus. The prices are medium and
the stock is of fair quality, although
the percentage of splits is large. Roses
are still abundant, although they are
moving better than for the last few
weeks. The cheaper grades of stock
are cleaning up daily, but the fancier
grades are not selling so rapidly.
Greens are somewhat more plentiful
than they have been, but smilax re-
mains scarce. Some extra fine snap-
dragon is arriving and is selling at 75
cents to $1.50 per bunch.
There seems to be a fine grade of
blooming plants on the market this
year. The retail stores are featuring
this class of stock in the windows and
are moving it readily. Indications
point to an exceptionally large sale of
plants for Easter, and judging by the
looks of the stock at present there
will be little poor stock on the market.
Various Notes.
Milwaukee florists have had an ad-
dition to their ranks in Michael Henry
Moore, who opened a store April 1 at
522 Grand avenue. His new shop is
excellently arranged and creates a
pleasing impression. Mr. Moore is not
new in the florists' business, having
been associated with the Wisconsin
Floral Co. for some time.
Those who attended the Philadelphia
show from Milwaukee were: A. Mac-
Donald, manager of Gimbel's flower
department; Miss Rose Simler, of the
Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., and Miss Ida
Baumgarten.
Among the visitors in Milwaukee last
week were: Miss Meyer, with the
Rentschler Floral Co., Madison, Wis.;
Mrs. H. A. Levenhagen, Manitowoc,
Wis.; O. Sylvester, Oconomowoc, Wis.,
and W. Desmond, with the L. S. Don-
aldson Co., Minneapolis, Minn.

THBIPS ON CABNATIONS.
Ed. American Florist:
Please advise how to remedy the trouble affecting Carnation buds mailed
under separate cover. Kansas. F. W. P.
The Carnation buds are badly infested with Thrips. Upon opening up two
or three of the buds we found them alive with these pests. Thrips are one of the
worst enemies that Carnation growers have to deal with, and the only way to
fight them successfully is to get after them by spraying the plants regularly
with the Nicotine preparations as soon as they are planted into the houses from
the field and keep at it continually until weather conditions will allow for fumi-
gation. For stubborn cases we spray with HAMMOND'S THRIP JUICE No. 2,
applied as per directions on the cans. This is an oily substance and will cause
the foliage of the plants to look a lighter green, but we have never found it to
harm the foliage at all. C. W. JOHNSON.
THBIP JUICE NO. 2 ON ROSES.

Hammond 's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y.
Dear Sirs: I have used your THRIP JUICE No. 2 on outdoor Roses, also
Roses indoors, as well as Bay Trees and other hard-wooded stock, and can say it
is a most efficient remedy for Scale, Mealy Bug and Thrips. Very truly yours,
(Signed) CHAS. HARMAN, Supt.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 7, 1914,
CoL Wm. Sharp, for more than twenty-five years grower for Samuel Murray,
says: "I have found THRIP JUICE No. 2 very effective for White Scale on
Cattleyas and variegated Pineapples, Brown Scale on Ficus and Palms.
While several applications may be necessary, it is cheaper in the end than
Nicotine and far more effective.
Our farmer finds it a cure for the Curculio on Plums. Send along five gal-
lons as before." W. M.
Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 17, 1915.
Schmidt & Botley Co. endorse THRIP JUICE No. 2 for killing the White Fly.
They believe in prevention, and took steps at once to destroy it.
Oustav Schneider says he uses THRIP JUICE No. 2 regularly, more as a
preventive, and never had a finer lot of Chrysanthemums than last season. At one
time the plants were affected with rust, but one or two sprayings brought them
around.
Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 14, 1914.
Robert Lockerbie, many years with the Robt. Craig Co., and now grower for
the Charlotte Cut Flower Co., says he has used all makes of Insecticides and is
now usin^ THRIP JUICE No. 2 for Thrips on Chrysanthemums and Carnations.
The dilution of one to forty is proper. Sprayed on cloudy days, every week or ten
days, left on foliage for 48 hours, it never falls to kill the insect and the slight
discoloration on foliage is offset by its usefulness. W. M,

The Florists' Review
Apbil 6, 1916.
KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
Business was steady all week and an
improvement over that of the week
previous. Stock of all kinds is plenti-
ful, but there is no glut as yet in the
market, although it has been expected.
The supply of roses is increasing and
there is a marked improvement in the
quality. The demand is mostly for
medium length stock and short stock is
well cleaned up. There is not a strong
demand for the fancy grades.
Carnations have been plentiful and
at present are the finest this market
has seen this season, as regards size,
length of stem and color. Good sweet
peas were short on several occasions
last week. These this spring are the
best that the growers have ever pro-
duced. Easter lilies are plentiful, in
fact, almost too plentiful, as some of
them are being wasted, and more are
expected this week. Violets are about
gone and few were received last week.
Bulbous stock is not any too plentiful.
Jonquils and daffodils were the scarcest
last week.
Various Notes.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Elberfield were at
the National Flower Show.
Henry Kusik & Co. have been exceed-
ingly busy all winter in the wire de-
partment. They are working overtime
nearly every day. They now are re-
ceiving a nice lot of roses daily from
Council Bluffs, la.
Jacob Hepting is sending in some
extra fine Enchantress carnations. He
has had a good crop of these all winter.
The Rosery is displaying a fine line
of bulbous stock, both in pots and cut,
and good stock is expected for Easter
sales.
A. F. Barbe is cutting large quanti-
ties of carnations, lilies and miscel-
laneous stock. He has the framework
of his new rose house completed.
Costello Moore had a big run on fu-
neral work last week.
Biedermann & Son had another busy
week of decorations, which is unusual
during the Lenten season.
Hayes Bicker, head grower for the
Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co.,
was in the city last week and he re-
ported that all the Kellogg houses are
in fine shape. This company is con-
templating the erection of more houses
this year.
C. F. Beinhart is sending in a special
lot of Butterfly sweet peas. He is going
to build another house this summer.
Arthur Newell says he believes Easter
has already hit him, as he is disposing
of a large quantity of pot plants, as
well as Tausendschon roses in pots.
Visitors last week were Morris L#e
Vine, of Lion & Co., New York; B. G.
Vickery, of Horton, Kan. W. J. B.

The Florists' Review
APRIL 6, 1916.
BALTIMORE.
The Market.
Business during the first half of the
week was rather poor, but during the
latter half a heavy demand for stock
for funeral work created some activity
in the wholesale market and prevented
a surplus of stock. The warm, clear
weather of the last few days has opened
stock hurriedly and the supply, in gen-
eral, has increased. The crop of carna-
tions has improved wonderfully and
they have been plentiful for the first
time this season, but at the close of
business on Saturday the wholesale
stores had little of anything left for
sale. Roses also are coming in more
heavily, but, though pink and some
other colors have been plentiful enough,
more white could have been sold.
Lilies were in good supply and sold
well. There was an extra demand for
cattleyas and valley and both were
hard to get. Sweet peas are arriving
in unlimited quantities and the prices
have fallen; many were sold to the
street fakers. Daffodils are shy and
meet with a good demand. Greens are
becoming scarcer and the prices are
all out of proportion to either quality
or quantity,
Lexington Market was fairly abloom
on Saturday, April 1, as the warm,
springlike weather brought in many
'growers who do not attend during the
winter. Business was good and a fine
collection of pot plants was to be
found. This open flower market is a
feature of the city and no city of like
size has anything like it. On Easter
Saturday it is a Mecca for all who live
here, not only those who wish to buy
but many thousands who are merely
sight-seers.
Various Notes.
John Cook was exceptionally busy
with funeral orders for a prominent so-
ciety lady who died last week. Many
handsome designs were sent out and it
was necessary to work both night and
day to get the work out on time.
John P. Wilheim had an extraordi-
narily large lot of bulbous stock this
season, all of which he handled to good
advantage.
Jos. S. Merritt and Miss Helen V.
Lynch were married at Colgate, Md.,
March 29. Mr. Merritt is one of the
rising young florists of this section and
is well known as a carnation grower.
After the ceremony the couple motored
over to Philadelphia and spent a few
days at the show; then they left for a
stay at Atlantic City. On their return
they will reside at Colgate.
Visitors this week: Daniel Weber,
of Oakland, Md.; George Hermann, of
New York.
Baltimore was well represented at
the Philadelphia show. Over fifty visi-
tors from this city attended. The ma-
jority have returned and all speak
highly of the show and of those who
promoted it. W. F. E.
Adviktisino in The Review certainly
pays. — Louis Kleitz, Jr., Evansville, Ind.

CYOU WILL FIND many Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today —
houses that were built years ago still producing the best the market affords
and still producing profits for the men who own them. You will also find many
Dietsch houses among the newest. Those old houses that stand as sturdy as the day
they were new show the wisdom of Dietsch construction, and to a prospective builder
no further proof is necessary. Our construction stands for perfection in every detail,
and nothing that has not demonstrated its practicabiHty is found in a Dietsch house.
Taking into consideration our years of experience, our care for detail and the top-
notch quality of materials used, a builder is assured perfect satisfaction.

Horticultural Society Meeting.
Prof. Burt L. Hartwell, of the state
experimental station at Kingston, was
the speaker at the public meeting of
the Newport Horticultural Society,
March 28, his subject being "How
Plants Feed." There was an exhibit of
Formosa lilies by President Urquhart,
who is gardener for Governor Beeck-
man. The spikes were eight feet in
height, with twenty-three to twenty-five
buds and blooms to a stem, grown from
bulbs furnished by the Stumpp &
Walter Co., New York. He was
awarded the society silver medal.
At the next meeting, April 11, V. A.
"Vanicek, of the Rhode Island Nursery,
will read a paper on the propagation of
shrubs.
Various Notes.
Greenhouses are to be erected on the
grounds recently acquired by J. J. Van
Allen on Ochre Point avenue.
Henry J. Hass, who for several years
has been in the florists' business, will
devote his time to vegetables in the
future.
Newport was represented at the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia last
week by Oscar Schultz, William Gray
and Patrick F. Eeynolds.
Samuel Smith, Jr., who is in the flo-
rists* business with his father, at James-
town, has been appointed postmaster of
that town.
The flower store conducted by Henry

It is some distance from Des Plaines, Illinois, where our factory is located, but still the
celebrated Garland Cast Iron Gutter has had a friend there for over 14 years, as you

Gentlemen:—
Will you please quote me price on 90 feet of Garland Cast Iron Gutter with drain and drip
opening at one end? To be drilled for 16-in. width glass on one side and 12-in. on the other. This
is to replace a wood gutter.
I am pleased to say that the 750 feet of Garland Gutter used by my father in the erection of a
range of glass in 1902 is apparently in as good condition as the day it was put up.
Very truly yours,
DAVID J. SCOTT.
The quahty of our materials is in keeping with our gutters and we wish to
again call your attention to the fact that we make the greenhouse complete, either
steel or wood, and will greatly appreciate it if you will let us figure on your next
house or houses. Estimates and plans cheerfully submitted.

TEI-OITIES.
The Iilarket.
Market conditions last week were
about normal, with no particular rush
except when funeral work created a
special demand. A good supply of stock
is to be had. Roses are abundant, as
are carnations and all bulbous stock.
Violets are not so good, owing to the
warm weather. Sweet peas are plenti-
ful, but, as a rule, are rather short-
stemmed. Easter lilies are plentiful
and of good quality. Some calls are
coming in for pansies and other hardy
plants, and the next week will show a
good demand for this line of stock,
if weather conditions remain favorable.
Various Notes.
An eflfort is being made to have the
florists close on Sundays and make no
deliveries. The movement meets with
much favorable comment, but whether
it will work out or not remains to be
seen. The question will probably be
brought up before the Tri-City Florists '
Club at its next meeting.
Ludwig Stapp is making a business
trip to Chicago, to be gone for a few
days.
William Knees, of Moline, has his
outdoor sweet peas planted. He reports
trade conditions good, with considerable
funeral work and stock cleaning up
well.
Henry Gaethje, of Rock Island, has a
fine lot of antirrhinums in crop, but
the demand is not up to what the qual-
ity of the blooms would warrant.
Otherwise trade is good.
Miss Rose Waltman, of Davenport,
finds trade rather spasmodic. Some
days she is rushed with funeral work;
at other times business is somewhat
slow, but it averages well.
Mr. Forber, of Forber & Bird, Daven-
port, says trade is fair, with no particu-
lar rush in any line. W, G.
Midland, Mich.— "When the people of
Midland want to boost their town, they
provide the newspapers with a supple-
mentary sheet featuring the principal

Apbil 6, 1016.
OOIiUMBUS, O.
The Market.
Business keeps up well and there is
a good supply of stock coming in. Boses
are more plentiful and some extra fine
stock is to be seen, especially of Sun-
burst, Ophelia and Richmond, which are
showing up well and give indications
for good crops from now until after
Easter. Beauties are scarce and the
demand for them is not extra heavy.
It seems that there is a falling off in
both the supply and demand for Beau-
ties, and it begins to look as if some
other variety will have to replace them
in a short time. Carnations are fine,
but the quantity is a trifle small and
they are cleared nicely as a rule.
Lilies are more plentiful and many
are disposed of in funeral work, which
continues heavy. Bulbous stock is not
80 plentiful and it looks as if there will
be a shortage later on. Sweet peas hold
their own both in quantity received and
sold, and as a rule they are about
equal to the demand. The quality is
good. Valley is scarce, with the de-
mand varying at times. Sometimes it
is hard to get enough to fill orders.
Potted plants have been moving nicely
and many of them have been disposed
of. Azaleas, lilacs, hyacinths, tulips,
spiraeas, rhododendrons, primulas, etc.,
come in for their share of the business.
■Greens are exceedingly scarce and th^re
will be no surplus for some time 'to
come. There will have to be an increase
in plantings* of greens to meet the de-
mand, which is considerably heavier.
Various Notes.
Messrs. Livingston and Brownwell, of
the Livingston Seed Co., attended the
show at Philadelphia, but at the present
writing they have made no report of
their trip.
Samuel Graff is going to move from
his present location about June 1 to the
opposite side of the street, a little to
the east.
Underwood Bros, report business as
being good, e8j>ecially in funeral work,
of which they have had their share.
E. Metzmaier reports heavy business
in funeral work and says he has had
no surplus bulbous stock this season.
The Wilson Seed Co. is busy in all
lines and looks for a good spring
business.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is
hustling to have things in shape for the
spring rush and reports a better supply
of geraniums than ever before, with
other stock looking well.
The Stephens & Son auto delivery is
busy with city orders, and the store
force has everything in readiness for
the spring rush. J. M.

Please give me brief directions for
the culture of Cheiranthus Cheiri, or
wallflower, in the greenhouse.
M. B.— N. T.
The wall flower, or Cheiranthus
Cheiri, is one of the many spring-flow-
ering border plants that may be han-
dled profitably in the greenhouse. The
double forms are best for greenhouse
culture. Although a perennial, it is
best treated as a biennial. For winter-
flowering, deeds should be sown in July

Half Iron Frame Talk No. 3
Cement
^UR last talk, you
^^ remember, was about
board sides. Now for a
chat about cement ones.
Of course, we both ad-
mit that in the end, ce-
ment sides will cost you
a good bit less than wooden
ones. Once up, they are
up to stay and you can I
forget about them for the I
rest of your life.
From the illustration,
you see how the wrought
1^ iron post is thoroughly
embedded in the concrete.
The sill can be of wood or
cast iron; but it does not
seem quite the thing to
build a wall that will last
for a lifetime and then
put a wood sill ori top of
it, that sooner or later is
bound to rot out.
However, that's up to
you— we will gladly sell
you either.
Now let your eye slide
up to that eave plate.
Notice the rugged strength
of that fitting (one on
! jl each side of the post) that
i| secures the eave plate to
j the post.
Notice the drip gutter
and the pipe that leads
off all the condensation,
and spills it on the wall
H where it will do no harm.
But before you entirely
make up your mind to
have one of our Half Iron
Frame houses, let us take
a careful look at our Full
Iron Frame. It's shown
in our Supply Book. Send
for it.

in shallow pans or boxes filled with
clean, sandy garden soil, free from ma-
nure. As soon as the seeds have ger-
minated, which will be in a few days,
the seedlings should be given an airy
position. If they are in the green-
house, keep a somewhat moist atmos-
phere. As soon as the plants are large
enough to handle, pot into 2-inch or
2%-inch pots and keep potting until
6-inch or 7-inch pots are required, never
allowing the plants to become pot-
bound. The soil should be a rich, heavy
loam. Wallflowers, like stocks, should
be potted quite firmly.
When the pots are fairly well filled
with roots, which should be along in
September, they may be given, for a
few weeks only, a weekly application
of diluted liquid manure. When the
cool weather comes, they should be
placed in a temperature of 40 to 45 de-
grees until about six or eight weeks
before the required flowering period.
The plants, even when not growing
vigorously, should never be allowed to
become dry, or they will lose their
leaves. To bring the plants into flower,
place them in a temperature of 50 to 55
degrees. Syringe every bright day to
keep the foliage in a healthy condition.
Fumigating once in three weeks will
keep the plants free from aphis.

"SPEAK AND QUIT."
The customer who uses the free-of-
charge store telephone usually takes
all the time he or she wants. A re-
tailer, who tired of the advantages
taken of his willingness to let anyone
use his telephone, attached a card to
the transmitter, on which was printed
the following suggestion: "Brevity is
the soul of wit. Speak and quit. Nufl
sed." F. E. B.
Filled with v^nthusiasm as the result of an unexpectedly good
season, the Trade is making preparations for a record Easter
EVER in the history of the
flower business has there
been a fairer prospect for
the Easter trade. Taking
the country by and large,
prosperity never was
greater; there is no un-
employment; the people
have plenty of money and
the high degree of activ-
ity in practically all lines of business
shows, that the money is being spent
freely. Also, in spite of the fact that
this is an exceptionally late Easter,
weather conditions are such that peo-
ple are awaiting the arrival of spring
with keenest anticipation.
Spring Thoughts of Flowers.
Easter, coming so late, almost surely
will bring bright, warm spring weather
and the press of
purchasers April
22 promises to
break all records
in this trade.
Christmas was
excellent with
nearly all florists
who retail, busi-
ness up to Ash
Wednesday was
rather better than
in any recent
year, and during
Lent demand for
flowers has been
ahead of ordinary
records. The re-
sult has been that
the trade has un-
dertaken Easter
preparations with
an unusual degree
of enthusiasm.
Easter for many
years was the big
day in the florists '
business; recently
it has been
equaled, if not
eclipsed, by
Christmas sales,
but the energy
that is being put
into preparations
for next week 's
selling promises
this year to put
Easter back at the head of the proces-
sion of special flower days.
Plans for Three Busy Days.
As the flower business has broad-
ened, florists who retail have given in-
creased attention to the advance
preparations for special days. It has
come to be recognized that the sales
for such a day as Easter, once limited
by the supply of stock, of recent years
have been limited principally by one's
ability to wait on trade. In spite of
the best efforts of the retailers, the
public persists in putting off purchas-
ing until the last moment. One retail
florist, in studying his sales records,
finds that he does rather less than the
normal business for the first three days
of the week preceding Easter; that by
Wednesday the buyers are nibbling.
The Fashion Nowadays is to Put in Everything Within Reach.
but that the Easter sales virtually all
are made in the last three days. His
record shows that he does more busi-
ness on the Saturday preceding Easter
than in all the rest of the week, while
Friday easily doubles Thursday's sales.
Notations in his memorandum book, a
volume every florist should own and
use, indicate that almost always a
pleasant Easter Saturday sees many
customers turned away because of the
inability to wait on them promptly.
Extra Help and Space.
The problem, then, is to devise the
means of waiting on an increased num-
ber of customers during the short
hours of the Easter rush. To a certain
extent the pressure is relieved by hav-
ing all stock marked in plain figures
and enjploying a number of extra sales-
persons. The
prices of all cut
flowers are plainly
written on a large
blackboard in the
workroom, while
a wood label car-
rying the price
mark is in every
plant. Extra help
capable of taking
orders when mer-
chandise is thus
plainly priced usu-
ally can be had
and solves one
part of the prob-
lem. The question
then is to obtain
sufficient selling
space. If this is
unobtainable, it
imposes a limit on
what the florist
can do in a day.
Often, however, a
neighboring store
is vacant and can
be used for plant
sales. With such
an annex a florist
is in position to
double his day '»
business by adver-
tising. And
everybody recog-
nizes that now
there is so much

Taasendicbon, or Thousand Beauties.
stock in the markets, advertising is one
of the big facts of business that can-
not be overlooked.
Big Stock Being Bought.
Perhaps the plainest evidence of the
preparations being made for this
year's Easter business lies in the or-
ders now being shipped in hot haste
by dealers in florists' supplies. It is
the unanimous report of these enter-
prising people that the Easter business
IS breaking all records. Particularly
is this true with regard to the basket
sales. The increase in the use of
baskets for the embellishment of
plants is one of the remarkable fea-
tures in the recent trend of the trade.
Whereas, last year there was a short-
age of supplies even though business
then was not so good as now, this year
there is plenty of merchandise; home
manufacture has become the rule and
the supply houses are working their
factories long hours turning out the
goods the trade demands.
It is said by the supply dealers that
the average florist is ordsiong more
than double the stock he bought last
Easter. Except for a few special
Easter novelties no risk is involved,
because anything unsold at Easter will
be useful in the weeks that will follow.
Baskets and Bibbons Everywhere.
Next to baskets, ribbons are in de-
mand. Perhaps one of the reasons why
low-priced baskets are selling so well
this season is because crepe paper pot
covers, especially in green, are scarce
and higher in price. At any rate, a
greater proportion than ever before of
the Easter pots will be decked out with
basket and ribbon.
BCaiiy Plants and Fine Ones.
The cold spring has been unexpect-
edly favorable for the growers of
Easter plants and the stock not only
is the largest ever provided but the
quality is unusually flne. Of course
the lily is the leader, as it probably al-
ways will be at Easter, but the supply
of rose plants has been greatly in-
creased. Tausendschon is the favorite
variety and when well done is unex-
celled as an Easter pot plant. There
also has been a marked increase in the
quantity of hydrangeas grown this
Easter, the result of increased apprecia-
tion of the merits of the new French
varieties. Azaleas are rather less abun-
dant than last year, as is bulbous stock,
two weeks difference in date and an
appreciable difference in the all-sea-
son's demand having operated to re-
duce the supply in this line.
Cut Flowers in I«arge Supply.
There are obvious reasons why
many florists prefer to push plants at
each holiday, but at the same time it
Rhododendrons Are Ascendant*
is far easier to handle cut flowers —
and far easier to obtain a supply at the
last minute. The principal markets
throughout the country this season
show a reinarkable degree of uniform-
ity with regard to the prospect for
Easter stock. The rose will get an
unusual part of the holiday business.
There are good crops of roses almost
everywhere; large in quantity, good in
quality. Carnation crops are rather
lighter than normal at this season.
Bulbous stock, too, is in somewhat less
supply than usual. Because of the late
date, violets are not as safe as usual
and the bulk of the demand for cor-
sage flowers will be turned to sweet
peas. Of these the supply is larger
and finer than ever before. Of Easter
lilies, cut, the supply is increasing so
steadily that prices, even in this year
of unusual demand, are scarcely so
good as in other years.
All the conditions are right for a
record run of sales next week.
prietor of H. C. Strobell & Co., of 895
Broad street, has filed schedules which
give his liabilities as $127,638.29, which
includes three mortgages covering the
property where the store was located,
aggregating $109,000. According to the
schedules, the assets are $157,476.27, in-
cluding a valuation of $150,000 on the
property on Broad street. The personal
property consists of five greenhouses at
101 Elizabeth avenue, valued at $1,500;
the contents of the greenhouses, valued
at $2,500, and outstanding accounts
amounting to $895, most of which are
owing from patrons. Mrs. Gaven Spence
holds the first mortgage on the Broad
street property, the mortgage being for
$80,000. H. i). McCormack, of Kenvil,
formerly of Newark, holds the second
mortgage of $20,000. Taxes amounting
to $4,317 are due the city, as well, as
assessments amounting to several hun-
dred dollars. Mr. Strobell states that he
borrowed $4,000 from his wife and bor-
rowed the loan value of his insurance to
pay off the outstanding obligations on
his realty holdings. A meeting of the
creditors of the concern has been
called for April 19, when claims will be
filed and a trustee- elected. B. B. M.
Philadelphia, Pa. — A meeting of the
creditors of Ludwig P. Vollers was held
April 7. Mr. Vollers, who conducted his
business under the name of Vollers'
House of Flowers, at 1725 Chestnut
street, places his assets at $5,000 and his
liabilities at $12,000. S. S. Pennock was
chosen to carry on the business in the
interests of the creditors at present.

Indiana held its monthly meeting at
Terre Haute, April 11, and had the ban-
ner meeting of the year. The day was
an ideal one and members came from
all directions. At no meeting in years
was every section of the state so well
represented. The visitors were met at
the station by several of the Terre
Haute florists in their motor cars and
driven to the Deming hotel, where the
crowd congregated. From thence we
made the rounds of the retail stores, be-
ginning with the Reiss store. This is
one of the newer stores and everything
looks spick-and-span and thoroughly
up-to-date. From there we went to N.
B. & C. E. Stover's store. Mr. Stover's
Grand Rapids friends will be pleased to
know that he is doing a fine business
and is in splendid health. Then we went
to the J. Heinl & Son establishment. This
is perhaps the oldest retail establish-
ment in the city and ranks among the
oldest and best in the state. Everything
is thoroughly modern and shows that
the junior Heinl is capable of carrying
forward successfully the business so well
established 'by his father. Of course Mr.
Heinl, Sr., was on hand to bid the
visitors welcome in his own genial way.
Perhaps the strongest magnet in draw-
ing the members to Terre Haute was the
new Davis greenhouses. For about a
year we have had the wonders of this
place preached to us, so that everyone
was anxious to get a glimpse of the big-
gest houses in Indiana. Well, to use the
expression of some of the members,
"they are some houses." Two of them
are completed and in operation, cucum-
bers being grown exclusively, the Davis
strain. The enormous dimensions of
these houses were almost beyond com-
prehension by many and the perfect
construction was a delight to all. Mr.
Davis is extremely modest about the
whole thing and seems to think it noth-
ing unusual. Perhaps it isn't, for a
Davis.
The Business Session.
We had lunch and the business ses-
sion in the great service building, where
they are packing some hundreds of
dozens of cucumbers each day. After
the usual formalities of welcome and
a nice talk by the president of the local
Chamber of Commerce, President Vesey
proceeded to the routine business. Per-
haps the most gratifying part of this
meeting was the addition of seventeen
new members. They were: J. Cowan,
Ed. Cowan, Thos. Stevenson, N. B.
Stover, Edgar Weber and Wm. Dinkel,
of Terre Haute; Geo. Blackman, Evans-
ville; C. B. Sayre, La Fayette; A. L.
Dunkel, Brazil; H. Richmond, Sullivan
C. Hack and Wm, Smith, Indianapolis;
Wm. Barnaby, Columbus; R. Newcomb
and F. McCabe, Chicago, the latter
• two being elected to associate member-
ship.
President "Vesey announced the fol-
lowing committees to arrange for the
A. C. S. convention in Indianapolis next
January :
Entertainment — O. E. Steinkamp. I. Berter-
mann, Jos. H. Hill, Geo. B. Wiegand.
Reception — J. Bertermann, H. Junge, H. Rie-
man, O. R. Oause, J. Hartje.
Decoratlqn— H. L. Wiegand, H. Pabnd, 0.
Schwomeyer, A. P. Reynolds.
Membership — W. W. Coles, F. Heinl. F. Dorner,
W. J. Vesey, J. A. E5. Haugb, E. G. Hill.
Table displays — F. H. Lemon, C. C. Thomas,
Chas. Pahud, C. H. Bookedis, John Rieman.
It was decided to have the competi-
tion for the carnation trophy at the
A. C. S. exhibition instead of at the
annual meeting of the state association.
President Vesey also announced the
Winona outing committee. They are
J. D. Connor, Jr., Wm. Terrell and Fred
King.
After ad.iournment we made the
rounds of the greenhouses — first to
those of the Terre Haute Rose & Car-
nation Co., then to Cowan Bros., then
to F. Wunker & Sons, and finally to
Heinl & Weber. At each place a gen-
eral line of stock is grown for the
stores and each showed some excellent
Easter material.
Those present were:

gand, J. Hartje, J. Grande, A. Kempe, Karl

The Local Club.
I must not fail to mention the Terre
Haute Florists' Club. Here is a city
of some 75,000 inhabitants which has
a florists' club that would be a credit'
to a city of three times its size. It was
largely due to its activities that this
meeting was so successful. That this club
stands well in the community, too, was
shown by the fine writeups that ap-
peared in the local newspapers the same
afternoon.
We were pleased to again meet our
old friend, Henry Graham, who has re-
turned from the coast, to again take
charge of the business after the death
of his son, who had bought' it from
him. A. F. J. Baur.
THE EASTEB AITNEX.
The easiest way to increase the East-
er sales is to rent for a week some
vacant store, the nearer one's regular
stand the better. Any store will do,
even if it contains fixtures used for
some other line of business. There is
record of a Chicago retailer who last
Easter used a store that contained a
full equipment of jeweler's showcases

I would have given the land a lib-
eral dressing of ground lime in the
fall and harrowed it in. If this was not
done, I would advise using a good po-
tato fertilizer. This need not contain
any potash. You can buy 'Some wood
ashes to supply that. Apply the fer-
tilizer at the rate of 600 pounds per
acre, and 300 to 400 pounds of wood

to determine, but the best plan is to
broadcast and harrow it in and not ap-
ply a small amount to each plant.

Suitable plants would be Vinca rosea

other of these may suit you. I am pre-

TIMELY TALKS ^
ON TRADE TOPICS
HOW FLOBISTS ADVEBTISE.
Improvement is Apparent.
Ask any thoughtful man, not a florist,
what to him has been the principal
manifestation of progress in the flo-
rists' trade the last few years and he
will tell you that it has been in flo-
rists' use of printers' ink. While
there has been consistent improvement
in the varieties grown, in the quality
of stock produced and in the methods
of marketing plants and cut flowers,
still the improvement has been so
gradual that it has es-
caped the attention of
most of those outside the
business, but the man in
the street can see the im-
provement in florists' ad-
vertising.
More and Better.
The advertising of flow-
ers has improved in two
particulars: First of all,
there is more of it than
there used to be, and it is
a truism that "any ad-
vertising is better than
no advertising." In the
second place, there has
been marked improve-
ment in the character of
copy used.
The day may not have
passed, but it is passing,
when a florist will feel
that he has advertised
merely because he gave a
solicitor an order for
space. It gradually is
coming to be understood
that a page of one publi-
cation may be like a page
of another, so far as di-
mensions are concerned,
but that there is a vast
difference when it comes
to circulation and a still
greater difference in the
matter of influence with
and upon the readers.
Florists are buying
space more intelligently
every year, with less re-
gard for the fact that
the publisher may need
the business and more re-
gard for the pulling pow-
ers of the publication it-
self. And, having bought
space in a live publica-
tion, they are filling it
with better copy.
Cooperation.
One of the popular and
profitable methods of
flower advertising is the
cooperative plan that has
been employed so exten-
sively since The Review
suggested it as a means
of boosting Mothers' day. Reproduced
on this page is an advertisement that
occupied six full columns of a Detroit
newspaper last Easter. It is typical of
this class of advertisements — a striking
cut, a little general talk that must
necessarily be vague and lack in selling
power because of the many intereste
represented, and the names of the sub-
scribing florists. In spite of the limi-
tations imposed by this method of ad-
vertising, it has been found generally
successful and satisfactory. It will be
used in many cities for Easter, for
Mothers' day and for Memorial day.

A Co-operative Easter Ad Employed by Fourteen Detroit^rs.
Copy CaJls for Study.
The average florist, just beginning to
advertise, is not a proficient copy
writer. The tendency is to fill the
space with too much picture, too much
talk, too little description and too few
prices. Where space is cheap the florist
frequently does as did the Kansan
whose advertisement is reproduced with
this article: He bought a full page be-
cause it did not represent a 'large ex-
penditure of money and then he adver-
tised Easter instead of the flowers he
had for sale! It's a common mistake.
By way of contrast,
note the advertisement of
Penn, the Bostonian,
whose advertisement
faces that of the Kansan
on the two following
pages of this issue. Each
advertisement is repro-
d u c e d photographically,
much reduced in size.
The Boston advertise-
ment, in the original, was
only half the size of the
Kansan 's, but it will not
take great analytical pow-
ers to detect the superior-
ity in the matter of sell-
ing quality.
"WIU It SeU?"
It never should be for-
gotten that the reason
for advertising is to sell
the florists' merchandise.
To inspire a desire for the
things we have for sale
we would better restrict
the space given to pic-
tures of the Ascension and
Br'er Rabbit and thereby
gain opportunity to pic-
ture our plant's, to de-
scribe them attractively
but accurately, and to
state the prices.
The preparation of
copy is one of the most
important details of ad-
vertising. It should be
thought out with care, if
the maximum result is to
be obtained. First of all,
the lay-out or display
should be such as to catch
the eyes of the greatest
possible number of read-
ers. Second, the opening
sentences at the top of
the ad should be such as
to inspire a desire for the
things advertised. Third,
and perhaps most impor-
tant of all, the plants and
cut flowers offered should
be described in terms that
will be intelligible to the
public. Where immedi-
ate, direct sales are aimed
at, prices should be
quoted. You will know

this to be the case if you stop to con-
sider the number of customers who ask
the price before buying the article you
show them and compare their number
with the number of those who buy
without asking the price.
Apply iHiis Test.
When you have finished your ad, read
it over and ask yourself the question,
"Will it sell?" If the answer is
"No," don't print it; write another.
Many people think that plants and
cut flowers are like Topsy, who "just
growed," but in the trade we know
thgit success in growing is in propor-
tion to the mental and physical effort
put into the work. It is so in adver-
tising. There are many ways of reach-
ing the buyers and the results are in
proportion to the intelligent effort put
into the appeal.
BUFF^UijO'S QBEATEST SHOW.
Elks and Florists Cooperate.
The combination of women's and
men's fashions and all that goes with
them could not outshine the magnitude
of the exhibits made by the florists at
the flower and fashion show given by
the Buffalo B. P. O. E. and the Buffalo
Florists' Club at the Broadway Audi-
torium, Buffalo, April 6 to 12. Charles
Schoenhut was chairman of the com-
mittee appointed by the Florists' Club
to arrange the scheme of decorations
and exhibits, and the success of the
show in a large measure is credited to
the efforts of Mr. Schoenhut.
The carnations, roses, snapdragons,
sweet peas, lilies, tulips, daffodils, nar-
cissi, azaleas, rhododendrons, pansies,
spiraeas and hydrangeas exhibited by
the florists were the finest specimens
ever beheld in Buffalo. The judges were
Henry F. Elbers, of the South park con-
servatory, George Kayser, of the Dela-
ware park conservatory, and Charles
Keitsch, of Humboldt park, all of Buf-
falo.
The Awards.
The awards were:
One hundred pink sweet peas — David Scott, of
Corfu, N. Y., first; C. F. Guenther, of Ham-
burg, N. Y., second; David Scott, third.
One hundred ■white sweet peas — W. Prelsach,
of Corfu, N. Y., first.
Lilies — L. H. Neubeck, of Buffalo, first; W. J.
Palmer & Son, of Buffalo, second; Charles Sandl-
ford, of Buffalo, third.
Tulips — Charles Sandlford, first.
Daffodils — Charles Sandlford, first.
Narcissi — Charles Sandlford, first.
Azaleas — W. J. Palmer & Son, first; Charles
Schoenhut, of Buffalo, second.
Azaleas, specimen — W. J. Palmer & Son, first.

SHORTAGE OF PABIS OKBEN.
With the prices of all raw materials
soaring, manufacturers of Paris green
have cut down their production consid-
erably, and, with the season of strong
demand only a few weeks away, ex-
press doubt that they will have a suf-
ficient stock on hand to fill normal re-
quirements. The price of Paris green,
which stood at 12 cents a pound a year
ago, has advanced to 32 cents, and if
the expected shortage develops will
probably go higher, but manufacturers
do not believe that this will affect the
demand to any great extent, as the
product is a necessity. They point out
that the price has not risen in propor-
tion to the increased costs of manufac-
ture, and say that every effort will be
made to prevent inflation of the market
through speculation or otherwise.
The four main raw materials re-
quired in the manufacture of Paris
green are sulphate of copper, or blue
vitriol, arsenic; soda ash and acetic
acid. All are scarce at the present
time and held more dearly than dur-
ing other years. The following table
shows the price per pound of these ma-
terials before the war, a year ago and
now:
July 25,

Arsenic 3 3 3^
Bine vitriol... 4^A@ 4%
Soda ash, 100
lbs 75 @87% 72 @80 3.50®.. .
The chief uses of Paris green are as
an insecticide in connection with the
potato, tobacco and cotton crops, with
the consumption by potato growers rep-
resenting more than two-thirds of the
total.
POINTEBS ON DAHLIAS.
[Following are extracts from a lecture on dah-
lias by Richard Vincent, Jr., president of the
American Dahlia Society, delivered at the Fourth
National Flower Show, Philadelphia, March 30,
1!)16.]
The most suitable soil for growing
dahlias is a sandy loam. Heavy soils
may be lightened by the use of coal
ashes, sand or anything that will help
to make the soil porous. Whenever
possible, the land for dahlias should be
plowed or spaded up the previous fall.
The action of freezing helps to make
the soil more pliable.
At White Marsh, Md., we use little
manure, preferring bone meal, with a
small addition of potash, to manure.
If the ground is spaded in the fall or
early winter the bone could well be
mixed with the soil at that time. In

The Easter Flower Song
FLOWERS, from creation's earliest dawn, have ever voiced their silent
messages of good cheer to man. But, with the breaking of the first
Easter morning, there was given a new symbolism and the Spring Song of the Flowers became
a pean of hope to millions of the human race. Today, this universal giving of flowers at
Eastertide is a beautiful custom which breathes joy alike on both giver and recipient.

using manure we would rather use it
as a mulch, put on any time after the
plants or roots are set. Any kind of
material used for mulch around the
plants will retain moisture and save
watering, and if watered will keep the
soil from baking. By using bone we
obtain a more stocky growth and more
flowers; at least such is our experience.
June Planting Best.
We find that the dahlias planted in
June invariably give us the finest, or
exhibition, blooms. The early plant-
ings have the extremely hot weather to
contend with, often causing an indiffer-
ent growth; the stalks becoming hard
and the plant forms a mass of small,
weak limbs, with poor flowers, if any,
and they are more subject to disease
and insect pests.
This condition can only be remedied
by a vigorous use of the knife, cutting
back hard so as to cause the plant to
make a new and strong growth. These
troubles are often ours, but there are
some years in which there are excep-
tions. You now may ask, why do we
have these troubles! My advice is, do
as I say, not as I do, as it generally
takes us six weeks to plant our own
crop, even by using machinery to plant.
To Fight the Insects.
The dahlia is not exempt from in-
flect pests, any more than other flowers,
and the growers will find that a few
sprayings, especially during a drought,
are an advantage. A tobacco solution,
soap, almost any insecticide will do,
except for the black aster bug, which
feeds on the flowers alone. If the
bugs are not . too numerous, hand-pick-
ing is the best remedy. The bugs can
easily be seen, as they seldom touch
the dark-colored flowers, but always
the white or the pink.
To have the dahlias show to the best
advantage, they should be tied to a
strong stake. To obtain large flowers,
thin them out when too many limbs
start out from the stool, Or main stalk;
also disbud them.
Mr. Vincent's Selection.
We consider the following the best
varieties in the six classes given: Six
best peony-flowered dahlias — Bertha
von Suttner, Geisha, Germania, Glory

The Florists^ Review
Aran. 13, 1910.
NEW YORK FLOWER SHOW
GREAT SUCCESS
|N beauty, attendance, qual-
ity of exhibits and financial
success the New York exhi-
bition of 1916, which opened
April 5 and closed April 12,
surpassed all its predeces-
sors and, if the consensus of opinion
can be expressed in a sentence, the edu-
cational results of this magnificent
show will redound to the honor and
development of floriculture for many
a year to come. For the results achieved
too much praise scarcely can be given
Chairman F. R. Pierson, Secretary John
Young, Manager Arthur Herrington and
the energetic committee, while the pub-
licity work of Messrs. Colwell and Kor-
bel was unusually successful. No flower
show in New York ever was advertised
so widely, and the recognition and il-
lustrations in the large city dailies, with
their complete daily records, kept the
public continuously interested to the
close. The rain and snow of April 8
and 9 did not seem to lessen the en-
thusiasm or attendance, although the
perfect spring weather of the first half
of the present week unquestionably was
much in favor of the show.
The Metropolitan Method.
The New York management has
profited by the lessons of other years
and the show of 1916 was planned along
somewhat different lines than those
prior to 1915. In the first place, the
Horticultural Society of New York,
with its membership of millionaires,
was kept in the foreground and little
publicly was said about the participa-
tion of the Florists' Club. In arrang-
ing the premium list numbers of unin-
teresting classes were eliminated and
extra money placed on certain classes
of more spectacular character, such as
rose gardens, rock gardens, orchid
groups and groups of flowering plants
arranged for effect. The result was to
reduce the crowding, to improve the ar-
rangement and the general effect, while
adding to the social atmosphere, for
the exhibits came largely from the es-
tates, many of the classes being open to
private growers only. In giving out
awards to the daily papers the names
of the estate owners were used, instead
of the names of the gardeners.
The Tea Garden.
Of great assistance in attracting the
social set was the Eed Cross tea garden,
which was a drawing card last year as
well. The interest taken by the so-
ciety ladies and the attendance of
notables representative of the various
countries, in behalf of which the ladies
worked so successfully, combined to
make this a principal factor in attract-
ing the desired element. The orchestra
of ladies also was a continuous inspira-
tion.
The Principal Features.
The principal features of the show
were the rose gardens, the rock gardens,
the wonderful banks of orchids, the
gardeners' groups of flowering plants,
the artistic displays of the retail flo-
rists, and the elaborate display of the
city park department.
Brooklyn day added heavily to the
attendance and did credit to the City
of Churches and to A. L. Miller, to
G. E. M. Stumpp's Triple Trade's Exhibit at the New York Show.
whose efficient management the success
of the demonstration may be attributed.
The Rose Gardens.
The rose gardens, four of them, each
covering 500 square feet of space, were
perhaps the most admired exhibits in
the show. The view of these from the
balconies was entrancing. F. R. Pier-
son Co., Tarrytown, secured first place
with an arrangement similar to its dis-
play in 1915. The color scheme was
largely pink and the roses \ised were
Dorothy Perkins, Crimson Rambler,
Tauseridschon, Excelsa, Jessie, Orleans
and Baby Dorothy. A. N. Pierson, Inc.,
Cromwell, Conn., won second honors.
One feature of this garden was a sum-
mer house covered with Hiawatha roses.
Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J.,
won third prize and Julius Roehrs Co.,
of Rutherford, was fourth, but each
exhibit was wonderfully beautiful and
distinctive and all deserved the general
praise and appreciation they received.
Bock and Bulb Gardens.
There were three rock gardens, more
elaborate than any heretofore staged
in this country. The winners were: A.
N. Pierson, Inc., first; Bobbink & At-
kins, second; Julius Roehrs Co., third.
These displays were next in general
popularity to the rose gardens and all
of them elaborate and distinctive. Care-
fully arranged paths, fountains and
waterfalls added to their beauty. Each
garden covered 300 square feet and
numberless plants, ferns and evergreens
were used in their construction.
There was only one Dutch bulb gar-
den and the $250 prize was awarded the
John Scheepers Co. The arrangement
was rectangfular, with a five-pointed
star center, of daffodils, hyacinths, nar-
cissi and Darwin tulips, with edgings of
dwarf boxwood. A glimpse of the gar-
den is seen in the illustration from a
gallery view.
The Betall Displays.
The exhibits by the retailers, who it
should Tie noted were asked to buy trade
space for their displays, were below ex-
pectation in numbers, but beyond criti-
cism as to artistic arrangement and
beauty. The enterprising exhibitors
richly deserve the praise they received.
The exhibit of G. E. M. Stumpp oc-
cupied half of the entire left side of
the retail section and was in three
adjoining booths featuring landscape
work, novelties and floral arrangements
in great variety. It was a most elabo-
rate and enterprising venture. Oppo-
site Mr. Stumpp 's display was Alfred
Kottmiller's booth, artisticjJly deco-
rated and in charge of competent assist-
ants, with Mr. Kottmiller himself fre-
quently presiding. At the left of the
entrance Max Schling had a large space,
roped off on each side, the platform
covered with illustrations of his skill
in Easter basket arrangement, bou-
quets, etc. The prominent space of this

exhibit made it of special value as to
publicity.
The Orchid Groups.
The orchid display was the largest
and finest ever seen at an exhibition in
America. It was givea a section of the
hall apart from other exhibits and was
one of the notable features of the show.
There was only one exhibitor for the
group covering 200 square feet, but the
award of first prize to Julius Roehrs
Co., Eutherford, was well deserved. In
the class for commercial groups cover-
ing fifty feet Lager & Hurrell, Summit,
N. J., were first. In the private gar-
deners' groups Arthur Cooley, J. R.
Mossman and S. G. Milosy were well
represented. The awards on orchids
were:

Canning, gardener for Adolph Lewisohn,
of Ardsley, N. Y. Second prize fell to
J. W. Smith, gardener to F. E. Lewis,

and E. Fardel, gardener to Mrs. Booth,

ful displays. All were artistic and orig-
inal groupings and the many private

The Banquet.
The grand ball room, of the Hotel
Biltmore was chosen by the committee
as the scene of the annual banquet of
the New York Florists' Club April 8,
and, as the illustration on this page in-
dicates, no mistake was made by Chair-
man De Forest and his eflScient lieu-
tenants. Notwithstanding the rain and
snow of the day and evening, over 200
of the club 's memberB, ladies and guests
attended. By many it was conceded
that this season's celebration excelled
any of its predecessors in beauty, en-
thusiasm and novelty. The event was
called a din-dan. Dancing was enjoyed
by the diners for an hour before the
feast began and between the courses
and afterwards, some remaining until 4
a. m.,Tt\is said. An excellent orchestra
and soloists added greatly to the enjoy-
ment of the evening.
There was an almost total elimination
of oratory. Robert Craig, of Phila-
delphia, made an address, end Patrick
O'Mara for the members presented a
gold watch to the retiring president, H.
A. Bunyard.
The Trade Exhibits.
Because of the excellent results ob-
tained last year, a large number of con-
cerns bought space for trade displays.
The retailers, because of the artistic
character of their exhibits, were given
some of the most conspicuous space on
the main floor, and some of the plants-
men also had fine locations, but most
of the trade space was on the second
floor. A few exhibitors sought to reach
florists, but the majority of the displays
were planned for the single purpose of
attracting the public. So well did the
order-taking progress that probably the
day is not far distant when three floors
will be none too small for the proper
staging of the New York flower show.
The trade exhibitors were:

rANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS.
Will you kindly give me information
as to the propagation and culture of
fancy-leaved caladiums? I mean the
production of bulbs. How are the named
varieties grown? Could you advise me
Start the tubers in a mixture of
chopped sphagnum moss and sharp
sand, in flats, placing the flats where
there is a good bottom heat and an
overhead temperature not less than 60
degrees at night. Cover the tubers en-
tirely, as the roots start from the tops.
Put them in small pots when the growth
of roots and leaves has started. Use a
compost of sandy leaf-mold. At later
shifts use a heavier compost, consisting
of two-thirds fibrous loam, one-sixth
leaf-mold and one-sixth old cow manure
well dried; also a dash of coarse sand.
Grow them in a warm house. Gradually
withhold water in the fall as the leaves
start to decay and lay the pots in a
warm, dry location, in a temperature
not below 60 degrees at night, during
the winter.
These caladiums will bed out well
with you and can be set out dormant,
if required, in soil that is light, rich
and well pulverized. Do not plant them
out until the weather is warm and set-
tled, as fancy-leaved caladiums are deli-
cate. C. W.

TOMATOES UNBEB GLASS.
Artificial Pollination.
Under glass, where tomatoes are
forced extra early, it is often difficult
to get the flowers to set well. It is
then advisable and often necessary to
adopt artificial methods of fertilization.
The simplest and most efficient method
is the following: Procure a rabbit's
tail and tie it to the end of a bamboo
sufficiently long to reach all the rows.
At noon, when the sun is at its height,
go over all the rows, and on all the
plants lightly brush every truss with
the rabbit's tail. This method will
transfer the pollen from one flower to
another, and it is the exception to the
rule for a flower to fail to set. The
plants are not injured and the process
is a quick one. It should be followed
up each day as the flowers develop. I
have never known it to fail and I
have handled tomatoes under glass- by
tiie acre.
Moderate Defoliation.
There has always been a considerable
amount ef discussion on this question.
Some believe in no defoliation, while
others advocate a severe pruning of
the leaves. Basing my opinion on my
own practical experience, I favor a
modified pruning of the foliage, ac-
cording to the stage of the plants'
growth.
Suppose for a moment we examine
a tpmato leaf. On the under side of
the leaf the glass will show us a num-
ber of small holes or stomata. These
are the lungs of the plant and are ab-
solutely necessary to its well-being. The
leaves draw up the sap and maintain
the life and vigor. I would never
prune a leaf until the fruit is well de-
veloped, and then I would remove a
third of the leaf, never pruning a leaf
beyond an undeveloped bunch of fruit.
Such a pruning will allow more light
and air to reach the fruit and it will
naturally ripen much earlier. By cut-
ting the leaves above an unmatured
bunch of fruit you check its de-
velopment.
If you severely prune the leaves when
the fruit is in a young state, it will be
soft and will not develop with solid
flesh, owing to lack of support. On
the other hand, suppose a plant is
loaded with fruit which only wants
the coloring. In such a case I have
seen growers cut away all the foliage
and then water the plants. With noth-
ing else to take the supply of moisture,
it goes to the fruit, which immediately
cracks, and the result is a large quan-
tity of worthless fruit.
The happy medium is best with the
tomato. Therefore, never prune above
an undeveloped bunch of fruit. Only
cut away a third of the leaf. You will
then accelerate the ripening without in
any way deteriorating the fruit, and
this should always be the object of the
grower, F. E. B,
BUBN OB BOT OF LETTUOE.
"We are sending by parcel post a box
of greenhouse leaf lettuce, which, as
you will see, has rot about the heart
and j-oots. Some of the benches are af-
fected, while others are all right. We
put in new soil in our benches last year
and have only UBed half-rotted or com-
pletely rotted horse manure as a fer-
tilizer. We are at present cutting our
fourth crop of lettuce. What do you
think is the trouble! All the benches
are receiving the same quantity of ma-
nure and the same kind of soil, yet
some are affected as above stated. We
shall appreciate it if you can explain
the cause and a remedy for the trouble.
S. B.— HI.
The burn or rot is common on lettuce
in winter. It is not due to improper
soil, but to temperature changes. It
usually is worst if bright, sunny days
follow a number of dark ones, and in
order to avoid rot or burning it is neces-
sary to pay close attention to ventila-
tion. A case in point came to my notice
only a few days ago. We had a spell
of dark weather, with the greenhouse
roofs more or less covered with snow;.
This was followed by a bright day and
the lettuce in this particular house was
badly scorched. The only way to avoid
the rot or burn is to ventilate the
houses freely and to keep the tempera-
ture down. Successful lettuce growers
are constantly running to the ventila-
tors, taking off or putting on air, and
the closest attention to this is neces-
sary to avoid your trouble. Keep your
night temperature at 48 to 50 degrees
and keep it down to 56 degrees on dark
days, with a rise to 65 degrees if the
day is bright. This applies, of course,
to winter lettuce. There is more harm
in getting temperatures above than be-
low these figures.
Do not wait until your house gets
hot and then rush on a lot of air, and
do not remove it in like manner. Give
and remove ventilation gradually and
you will be little troubled with burn
or rot. C. W.
SCBANTON'S FLOWEE SHOW. !
The Scrauton Exhibitors.
The third annual flower show of the
Scranton Florists' Club was held April
6 to 8, in the Town hall. The commit-
tees in charge were: Ways and means,
Wm. MacDonald, C, W. Baldwin, T. B.
McClintock and Anton Sehultheis; dec-
orating, A. L. Besancon, L. E. McClin-
tock, W. R. MacDonald, Francis Moran
and G. E, Clark; report to trade papers,
Francis Moran; publicity, C. W. Bald-
win and T. B. McClintock; floor man-
ager, B. E. Cokely.
In the center of the hall was a mound
of crimson ramblers in full bloom.
These were grown by Wm. MacDonald,
of Moosic, Pa. At the entrance, T. B.
McClintock had an attractive display
of Cineraria stellata and Boston ferns,
A display in the southwest corner of
the hall was one of the most notable,
being made up of Azalea mollis, spruce
trees, arbor-vitae, retino^poras, box-
woods and cinerarias.
The New York Floral Co. filled its
space almost entirely with cut flowers.
There were baskets of lupines, Amer-
ican Beauties, Russell and Hadley roses,
snapdragons, yellow irises, and anem-
ones. This concern was the only one
to exhibit a bride 's bouquet, which was
made of white roses and valley.
Sehultheis, the Florist, had the largest
exhibit in the hall. A charming din-
ner table decoration was made of Ward
roses, orchids, azaleas and rhododen-
drons. Japanese gardens, baskets of
Hadley roses and other basket arrange-
ments were part of the display. Spe-
cial mention must be made of a hand-
painted basket containing yellow hya-
cinths and primroses and a basket of
Scotch heather, tied with plaid ribbon.
Anton Schulthei« had on exhibition
some of the finest rhododendrons seen
here for some time. The blossoms were
of rare size and beauty.

SPOBTS OF BENOBA.
Please let me know what is the par-
entage of Carnation Benora, I have
had three sports from Benora this sea-
son. The first one was bright red, with
a white center; it is a perfect bloom,
measuring three and one-half inches
across. The second sport was a pure
red, of about the same shade as Herald,
but the bloom is of the same form as
Benora, good and full, and I think the
stem is better. The third sport is not
far enough open to show whether it
will be all red or not. We have propa-
gated the first two, and if the third
pleases us we shall also propagate it.
Would you advise taking up these
sports and potting them?
M. C. F. H.— Mich,
The parentage of Carnation Benora
is unknown, according to the registra-
tion made by the raiser. If .those sports
of yours appear to be of value, I would
suggest that you propagate them and,
at the first opportunity, show blooms at
a meeting of the American Carnation
Society, so as to compare them with
existing varieties. Benora has sported
with many growers. Red sports of it
are quite common and it has also
sported j)ure white on at least three
places. A. F. J. B.
PETEB FISHEB BEPUES.
In a British trade paper, M. C. All-
wood, a carnation grower who spent
some years in America before starting
in the business in England, recently
berated recent American introductions
and sought to show that they are not
so good as earlier varieties. He paid
special respects to two of Peter Fisher 's
recent introductions and drew the fol-
lowing reply from that usually taci-
turn gentleman:
"Of my two last introductions,
Gorgeous and Alice, he writes of the
former as 'the greatest of all recent
American fallacies.' Let him call it a
failure if he wishes, but not a ' fallacy. '
It was not offered to the trade as a
commercial variety, as that term is im-
plied, but as one of strictly high grade,
either where an extra price could be ob-
tained at retail, or as an exhibition
«ort. Small growers who asked my
opinion of it were repeatedly advised
. not to invest in it, unless they could
obtaiin an extra price. Its 'failure'
was caused by '-flaking off' to a lighter
shade of pink in midwinter, something
beyond one's control in a cerise va-
riety at times. Alice was not sent out
as the equivalent of Enchantress in all
respects, as Mr. AUwood's comparison
would seem to imply, or in other words,
as an exhibition sort (although it has
■been awarded premiums over Enchant-
ress during the present season), but
ras 'a commercial acquisition' of supe-
rior color and far more productive.
As to being 'inferior to May Day in
every single respect,' the reverse is
true over here, for many of our best
growers who discarded May Day after
a single trial, are largely increasing
their plantings of Alice for next sea-
son. The color of May Day is ex-
quisite, but the smooth-edged petal,
showing a tendency to incurve, could
not be tolerated by the American buy-
ers, and let me here state this has been
the cause of failure with several Brit-
ish raised varieties when tested over
here. The American grower is not
prejudiced against British raised varie-
ties, but the fact remains that so far
we have failed to find them of commer-
cial value to us."

Precautions and Sales Factors.
It is not safe to assume that, because
Easter comes at almost the latest pos-
sible date this year, we are sure to have
warm and settled weather then, and
that Easter plants will need little wrap-
ping and can be exposed almost with
impunity. The probabilities are that, as
we have already had so much winter,
we can reasonably look for mild, spring-
like weather this season, but it will be
well to provide an abundance of wrap-
ping material in case it is needed. Wrap-
ping is going to cost a great deal more
this year, owing to the heavy advance
in the price of paper. Do not, however,
stint on necessary covering on the false
grounds of economy.
It is to be assumed that all salable
plants will have their pots washed in
advance. It is poor policy to leave this
important , work until the plants are
actually needed. Have not only the
sides and rims but also the bottoms of
the pots and pans well washed. A plant
of only fair quality in a soiled pot will
be hard to sell, but such a plant in a
clean receptacle will be found quite
salable. Be tare to stake plants need-
ing it before sending them out. Use
green stakes and green raffia; the lat-
ter costs more than ordinary raffia, but
is so inconspicuous that it should be
more used. In sending out gardenias,
orchids or any other choice plants with
flowers rather easily damaged, use cot-
ton wool to protect each flower prop^
erly.
The Easter Lilies.
While white-flowering plants are not
as popular for Easter as some years
ago, the Easter lily remains the plant
that meets with much the largest sale
and it probably will remain so. With
so late an Easter there should be little
excuse for plants not flowering on time.
It is the best plan to allow the plants
to open their blooms a little before
Easter. It is easy holding such plants
back in a cool greenhouse, pit or cellar.
Laggards should be placed at once in
a hot, moist house, freely syringed,
given all possible sun and, if the ven-
tilators can be closed about 2:30 each
afternoon and the house saturated with
moisture, it is surprising how fast the
buds will develop. Prices on lilies are
low after Easter, hence it pays to get
every possible plant in for April 23.
For cutting, the Formosa lily, with its
long stems, is far superior to L. longi-
florum giganteum, and is of particular
value in the chancels of churches, for
which the giganteums are too dwarf.
Such candidum lilies as appear are in
a cut state, but it is well to state that
for church decorations L. candidum,
with its immaculate purity, is far su-
perior to all other lilies, not when
grown in small pots, one bulb to a pot,
but by using five to seven bulbs in 8-
inch to 10-inch pots.
In making up large pots or pans of
Easter lilies, the work is best done just
before the flowers are open. Do not
pick all stalks of a uniform height, or
the plants will present a decidedly flat
and a too crowded appearance. Shake
the soil well away when making up
these plants, but keep the roots intact.
When they are made up be sure that

water in abundance is fncrnished and
all the buds will open juat as well as
though the plants had net been sub-
jected to any disturbance.
The Boses. -
Next to lilies, roses now are the most
popular of Easter plants. Those of a
pink color sell best. It is not many-
years since the old Crimson Bambler
had this field almost to itself. For quite
a period of years since its introduction,
some twenty-one years ago, it h«d a
tremendous sale, but, while many still
are sold, they do not move as they did
over a decade ago. Hiawatha as a
scarlet, Lady Gay, Tausendschon, Dor-
othy Perkins and other pinks; White
Dorothy and Mrs. M, H. Walsh, pure
whites, are a few that are popular.
Then the polyantha roses, more often
called baby ramblers, although they do
not ramble at all, such as Baby Tau-
sendschon, Erna Teschendorff, Phyllis,
Orleans, Catherine Zeimet, Clothilde Sou-
pert and Mile. Cecile Brunner, now meet
with an immense sale, and with this
type it is safe to tell customers that
they should plant them out in the flower
garden when the flowers have faded,
as they all make good garden plants.
At one time the hybrid perpetuals
were more popular than they are today.
They still are grown in considerable num-
bers, and if they can be offered with one
or two flowers just showing color they
will be in the best stage. Frau Karl
Druschki, the incomparable white; the
old Magna Charta, Baroness Eothschild,
Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Prince Camille de
Rohan, the old General Jacqueminot,
John Hopper and Ulrich Brunner are
specially good for Easter. It is good
to note that hybrid teas are beginning
to be appreciated as pot plants. All
who saw Dreer's wonderful garden at
Philadelphia must have appreciated
their value as pot plants. Their im-
mense flowers, which last well even
when fully expanded, many delightful
colors and delicate odors should soon
place them in the front ranks of Easter
plants. Their price comes a little higher
than that of the hybrid perpetuals, but
customers will surely be willing to pay
the little extra price demanded. The
yellow, copper and orange shades, which
are almost entirely lacking in the other
types of roses, are here abundantly rep-
resented and they are popular.
Genistas.
Genistas are easily grown Easter
plants and make an effective show in
the store, provided they receive an
ample water supply. Once let that be
neglected and the plants become un-
salable. While the closely cropped and
topiary-like genistas have the leading
call, plants more naturally grown are
far more beautiful, and I am surprised
so few growers can be made to realize
that many customers prefer this latter
type of plant to the closely sheared-in
brand. It is well to state that genistas
are beautiful while in full bloom, but
that they are poor house plants. Even
at this season their beauty is all gone
in four or five days, no matter how
carefully they are tended. Do not tell
purchasers that they will flower for
weeks in a warm room if well watered.
A single week is their absolute limit.
Azaleas.
Even for a late Easter it is an easy
matter to have plenty of azaleas. Van-
der Cruyssen, bright rose, has a greater
sale than any other variety. Others in
favor are Empress of India, double
white and salmon; Vervseneana alba
and Niobe, white, and the little Charles
Encke, pink and white. The many beau-
tiful varieties of Azalea mollis are pre-
ferred by many to the more common
A. Indica in spring. These come in
golden yellow, orange and other attrac-
tive colors not to be found in the Indica
section, and their single flowers are pre-
ferred by critical customers to the
double flowers carried by most of the
commercial Indian azaleas. Why do not
the Belgian growers send us more
single-flowered azaleas? They are vastly
more beautiful and keep just as well
as the doubles. Is it because our grow-
ers here demand the doubles?
Astilbes, or Spirseas.
Astilbes still are commonly called
spiraeas. The white varieties meet with
a fair sale, but since the advent of the
many beautiful pink varieties, such as
Queen Alexandra, rubra. Peach Blossom,
Ceres, etc., these latter have enjoyed
the greater popularity. They require a
longer season to come into flower and
must be sold at a little higher price,
but they are well worth the difference.
They hold their flowers in good condi-
tion longer than the old Japonica and
Gladstone. Keep these pink varieties,
when the flowers start to open, in a
house where they can be broken from
the direct sun; some shade is needed
to keep the lovely pink flowers ^rom
fading. Astilbes need much water, not
once, but twice a day, and keep a
saucer below them. Never mind if there
is some water in the saucer; it will not
cause any loss of foliage on astilbes, as
it would on almost any other plants.
Hydrangeas.
Hydrangeas were never popular
Easter plants until the advent of the
French type, which can be bloomed well
even for an early Easter. More of the
French varieties will be offered this
Easter than in any previous year, and
they will prove much better sellers than
the good old Otaksa, which comes into
Two fo the Seedsmen's Trade's Exhibits at the New York Show.

its own later in the season. Avalanche,
Mme. Mouillere, La Lorraine, Radiant,
General de Vibraye and Mme. Chautard
are a splendid commercial half-dozen.
Remember that the flowers of the
French type are more susceptible to in-
jury from sun and moisture than those
of Otaksa, and they are not, for that
reason, to be recommended for outdoor
uses. For pot culture they are the
finest introductions of late years. Thoy
bloom with wonderful freedom and
make a rapid growth, and no florist who
grows or sells pot plants can afford to
be without them.
Hard-Wooded Plants.
The season is a little late for many
hard-wooded plants, but Erica Caffra
densa, an easy doer, is available; so
are some melantheras carried along in
cold houses. Acacias are fewer than
usual; even A. paradoxa has been hard
to keep back. Once the little flowers
on this variety turn brown, the plants
become unsalable. Faded flowers can-
not be shaken off, and it is a task
to pick them off a number of well
bloomed plants. Keep all the hard-
wooded plants as cool as you can with-
out exposing them to actual frost. Re-
member that their pots are crowded
with fine, hair-like roots, and that one
good drj'ing out will cripple and may
even kill them. Therefore water them
carefully and tell all purchasers to do
likewise.
Bulbous Plants.
As Easter is late, there is a smaller
variety of Dutch bulbous stock in pans
available than usual. Few of the single
early tulips are in good condition except
Pink Beauty. Others become too leggy.
Murillo is the popular tulip. Some
White Hurillo and Brimstone Beauty
also are available, but Murillo is the
tulip par excellence for pans. It is a
sturdy grower and never needs any
supports. The same holds good for Vic-
toria, which is easily the best narcissus
for Easter. It is late for 'Golden Spur,
which has become too much drawn,
even when retarded as much as pos-
sible. Hyacinths kept quite cold are
all right and will open sufficiently in a
cold greenhouse or even in a coldframe.
These also are better if not too fully
flowered. Where hyacinths are in full
bloom it is sometimes necessary to stake
the spikes to prevent them from break-
ing. Use light and inconspicuous stakes
where this has to be done.
Rhododendrons and Kalmias.
Fink Pearl is the rhododendron par
excellence for Easter trade. White
Pearl is good, but often arrives with
poor foliage. The flowers of these two
varieties are so much larger than those
of the ordinary hybrids that the latter
are hard to sell in competition with
them. Kalmia latif olia is another ever-
green flowering shrub that is seen more
than usual this season. It is a hardy
shrub and can be planted out after
blooming, but do not tell any customers
that Pink Pearl or White Pearl can be
planted and left outdoors, as both are
quite tender.

STEM-ROT ON GERANIUMS.
We are -sending you by parcel post
two geranium plants that have become
affected with some trouble. These
plants were* from cuttings that were
bought sometime in January. They were
fine plants, well rooted, and have been
doing nicely until recently, when this
trouble started. You will note the
plants have a good, firm root growth,
but that at the end of the stem, where
the roots start to grow out, a sort of
rot has started. This rot spreads until
the entire plant is destroyed. It is
going through our ^ntire geranium
stock. These plants *Tire grown in a
temperature of about 56 degrees, and
we doubt if they have been watered
too much, as we have really kept them
a little on the dry side. We have given
them plenty of space. The loam used
is a light, black soil, with little, or
perhaps no, clay, but it contains a small
quantity of rotted cow manure. We
tried to avoid getting the cow manure
in, but a little is sure to slip through
the screen. We can see no reason for
this condition of the plants, as they
ha^ been fine stock until now.
We are of the opinion that it is our
water supply. We use water from our
city water plant, which is pumped from
. n*^ •<-.>%:«,■
Lake Michigan and then put through. a
filtering plant to purify it. Our city
chemist here has pronounced the water
to be perfectly pure, but the condition
of the water is such that we can hardly
drink it, for the taste and the odor are
bad. When we boil the water there is
an odor somewhat similar to that of
creosote. We understand that a con-
siderable amount of alum is used to
filter the water. What do you think?
Could this be the cause of the trouble?
C. P. & S.— Mich.
It is barely possible that the water
may have something to do with your
trouble; still, if you have gro^n gera-
niums during previous years and they
have been healthy, that can hardly be
the cause. At -the state experimental
station they may be able to give you
some useful information on this point.
You are keeping your plants quite warm;
56 degrees is a high temperature for
growing stock. It would be much bet-
ter for them if the temperature was 8
degrees lower at night. I think it prob-
able that your geranium cuttings, while
they may have looked well and carried
plenty of roots, perhaps were too long
a period in the cutting bench and be-
came somewhat drawn. If at potting
time you buried the stems somewhat to
improve their appearance, you would do
the best thing to start stem-rot. If your
black soil had some sharp sand added
to it, a little fine bone and one-fourth
as much spent hotbed manure finely
screened, it should prove ideal for gera-
niums. Can you not grow your own
cuttings another year and thus prevent
any danger of infection from bought in
stock? C. W.
GREEN WORMS ON GERANIUMS.
On my geraniums there are little
green worms, which eat the under side
of the leaves, but do not eat entirely
through them. I have used nicotine
without success. Can you advise me
what to use? S. R. F.— Neb.
It will be necessary to use a poison
spray of some kind on your geraniums
if the pests are too numerous to be
killed by hand. Arsenate of lead whit-
ens the foliage and makes the plants
more or less unsalable. Therefore, it
is better to give them a weak dose of
Paris green, one ounce to eighteen gal-
lons of water. Also add a little lime
to the water, to prevent any burning
of the foliage, although it is not likely
that the strength advised will burn any
foliage. Spray on a cloudy day or on
the evening of a clear day, being sure
to direct the liquid below the leaves.
Give the plants a good spraying of
clear water early the following morn-
ing. Repeat the spraying if more
worms appear. C. W.
BONE FLOUR FOR GERANIUMS.
Some time ago you advised feeding
geraniums bone flour. Will you please
advise how much to give plants in 3-
inch, 4-inch and 5-inch pots? I used a
3%-gallon pail to measure the soil,
using four pails of field soil and one
of rotted cow manure. The plants do
not make any growth. They bud and
bloom all right, but have a pale yel-
lowish green color instead of a dark
green. B. P. M. — Kan.
On a 5-inch pot use a teaspoonful of
fine bone. On 3-inch and ' 4-inch pots
use half this amount. Apply it once in
two weeks. In addition, if your plants
are well rooted and lack color, give a
watering with soot water or weak ni-
trate of soda water. One pound of
nitrate of soda will suffice for fifteen
gallons of water. It is a strong fer-
tilizer and do not give the plants more
than one application. C. W.
GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL DAT.
Will you please advise me as to the
latest date at which geraniums may be
cut back to have blooming plants at
Memorial day? Also, how far apart
should geraniums be planted in the bed
for stock, planting out of 2-inch pots?
M. G. F. C— O.
No topping or heading back should
have been done after March 1. Set the
plants twelve to fifteen inches apart
each way. C. W.
Danbury, Oonn. — While working with
a circular saw recently, Theodore H.

THE NEWER BOSES.
[A raper by Stephen Mortennen, of Southamp-
ton, Pa., entitled "A Symposium on the Newer
Roses," read before the rose meeting of the
Florists' Club of Philadelphia, April 4, 1916.]
A small grower like myself cannot
afford to waste much valuable space
for testing novelties, because that is
really what it amounts to. I notice,
however, you say a symposium on the
"newer roses;" that is, those that
have been tested during the last few
seasons. This, I presume, will include
Sunburst, Brilliant, Ophelia and Had-
ley. These four varieties I grow in
quantities of from 2,500 to 6,000 plants
each, and I am pleased to give you
my experiences with them.
Sunburst and Ophelia.
From the viewpoint of dollars and
cents, which is the point a commercial
grower must always consider first, Sun-
burst is considerably ahead of the sev-
eral other varieties I grow. It has
been so for the last three seasons and
it is so again this season, although I
increased my plantings to over 5,000
plants. Some of the knowing ones told
me I would make a mistake in planting
so many yellows; that the new rose
Ophelia, in a measure, would take the
place of Sunburst. I have not found
it so. Sunburst, as stated before, still
is in the lead. It has, like all roses, .
its faults, the worst being its weak
stem, especially during the cloudy
days of November and December, and
the tendency of the heavy canes to
come almost white. Its good qualities,
however, far overbalance its faults. It
is an all-year rose, a free bloomer and
does not need to be pinched to produce
flowers with stems of a salable length.
You all know the good qualities of
Ophelia. You saw it in all its glory
at the National Flower Show. It
stands second on the list with me.
I believe this rose will be planted in
much larger quantities by many grow-
ers next season, and there is a possibil-
ity that there will be an oversupply
of it next winter. It has one fault, its
peculiar tendency to throw crooked
necks.
Hadley and Brilliant.
In Hadley we have what I consider
the finest rose in cultivation today.
When I say this I am not alluding to
my own flowers; on the contrary, I *m
thinking of those wonderful blooms pro-
duced by Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote;
A. S. Burns, of Spring Valley, N. J.,
and Edward Towill, of Koslyn, Pa.
These blooms we all admired at the
show. While I can not grow such
wonderful blooms as those referred to,
Hadley is doing well with me and I have
confidence in its future and .shall con-
tinue to grow it. It is to date the
lowest on my list in what it returns me
in dollars and cents, but I am certain
when the season is over it will not be
the lowest. Its fault, with most grow-
ers, I think is its tendency to send up
blind wood, but this can be overcome
by proper handling, partially at least.
Brilliant last season was a disap-
pointment to me. It did not return as
much per plant as White and Double
Killarney although as a novelty it
ought to have brought more. This year,
however, it is quite satisfactory and it
will be retained another year at least.
Other Boses of Merit.
Old Gold is a beautiful semi-double
rose, with long, pointed buds. The
color is reddish orange, with coppery
shadings. It is a fine rose when grown
cold — a good winter rose.
Lady Alice Stanley is a good all-
year rose. I discarded this rose be-
cause of its weak neck. This' can be
overcome, I understand, by a cooler
treatment than what I gave it. John
Welsh Young is growing this variety
to perfection and you should ask either
him or C. Upton how it is done.
Mme. E. Herriot is the sensational
Daily Mail rose of England, grown by
Pernet-Ducher, a fine rose with a most
unique color, hard to describe. With
me it had rather a weak stem, but tou
possibly can be overcome by proper
treatment.
Mme. Edmond Bostand is a fine rose
when at its best. It is a fine grower,
with large, heavy foliage. It has two
faults: First, its color, a beautiful
reddish yellow in the bud state, but
fading to salmon as it expands; second,
it is not always constant, varying a
little according to weather conditions.
September Mom and ClanwlUiam.
In September Mom we have a rose
with a most pleasing shade of shell
pink; an all-year rose I would call it,
for it seems to open fairly well during
the winter months. I have not given
this rose a fair test as yet, but as it
is a sport of Paul Euler, which is being
redisseminated by the Florex Gardens,
of North Wales, Pa., I should not hesi-
tate to recommend it.
During the season of 1914-15 I im-
ported from England some twenty-five
varieties of new roses. While some of
these may do as garden roses, on the
whole, I must say they were disappoint-
ing to me. I will not tire you by going
over this list. I will only mention one,
Countess Clanwilliam. It has at least
some of the earmarks of a commercial
variety. The color is peach pink,
striped or edged with cherry red. The
buds are long and pointed, but not
double. The petals, however, are of
good substance. It is a free bloomer,
with long, stiff stems.
MEXICAN TUBEBOSES.
I have received some bulbs of the
Mexican everblooming tuberose and
shall appreciate it if you will give me
some information concerning their
proper culture, time to rest, etc. I
have planted some in four inches of
soil in flats, using two parts rather
heavy clay soil, one part sharp sand
and one part well rotted cow manure.
We have frosts here rather late in May,

so I presume I cannot put any outside
for some time, but I think they should
not be left out of the ground long. I
have only one house and grow mixed
stock, mostly carnations.
H. C. 0.— Cal.
You can start the tuberoses in 4-inch
pots of sandy loam, or they can be stood
on moss placed in the bottoms of flats.
They must be damped sparingly until
the roots start, then a little more freely.
As you have late frosts, it would not be
safe to plant the tuberoses out before
the first week in June. You will find
that they succeed better in light rather
than heavy soil. If your soil is natur-
ally heavy, add plenty of sand to make
it more porous. Planted out in June,
about all your tuberoses should bloom
before frost. If any do not open, dig
them up carefully, pot them and place
them in your greenhouse.
To carry the bulbs over winter, dig
them up, pack them in flats of moder-
ately dry, sandy soil and store them in
a temperature of 48 to 50 degrees. Do
not wet the soil at the resting period,
or you will lose many of them by rot.

OBITUARY.
E. Seece.
E. Eeece, one of the senior members
of McKay, Eeece & Co., seedsmen of
Nashville, Tenn., died unexpectedly on
the morning of April 1 while taking a
bath. There is little doubt that Mr.
Reece 's death was hastened by the re-
cent fire in East Nashville, in which his
home, at 622 Russell street, was burned.
While he was in failing health during
the last few months, he was actively
engaged in matters of the seed business.
It is believed that worry over the fire,
not over his own in particular, but over
the whole disaster, affected his nervous
system and probably resulted iu heart
failure while taking a cold shower
bath.
Mr. Reece was 72 years of age and
was born at Alexandria, Tenn. At the
age of 16 he enlisted in the Confederate
army, in a company formed by his
father at Nashville. He served through-
out the war, and for a time was courier
for General J. Wheeler. When Lee sur-
rendered Mr. Reece was one of those
who helped to place in safety the gold
and silver of the Confederacy. At the
close of the war he returned to Nash-
ville, where he entered the employ of
tobacconists. Later he organized the
Enterprise Soap Works, the controlling
interest in which he disposed of on his
return to Alexandria. He was about 40
years of age at that time and was presi-
dent of banks at Alexandria and Smith-
ville. After some years Mr. Reece de-
cided again to make his home in Nash-
ville, and formed a partnership under
the name of McKay, Reece & Co., deal-
ers in field seed and grain. The partner-
ship covered a period of twenty years.
The firm was a member of the American
Seed Trade Association.
In 1870 Mr. Reece married Miss
Laura Driver, of Nashville, who sur-
vives him, as do two married daughters.
TBI-CITIES.
The Market.
Business last week was only fairly
active; there was no particular rush in
any line, and prices were about the
same as those of the week previous.
Roses are in good supply and of ex-
cellent quality, as well as carnations.
Funeral work, however, has used the
stock and left no surplus. Tulips are
scarce, and daffodils are of excellent
quality, but not too plentiful. Antir-
rhinums of fine quality are coming in
and find a ready market. A shortage of
potted plants was the one feature of the
week. With the exception of Easter
lilies and Dutch hyacinths, plants were
scarce.
Various Notes.
Julius Staack, of J. Staack & Sons,
Moline, has made a settlement with the
city of Moline for $6,000. This disposes
of the damage suit which he instituted
against the city for damages caused by
floods last year. Mr. Staack reports
business good and funeral orders numer-
ous. He has a fine stock of Easter
lilies that will come just right, accord-
ing to appearances.
H. H. Hensley, of Rock Island, is busy
building a greenhouse 20x100 feet on
his four acres at Center station.
Joseph Tuckis, of Rock Island, re-
ports business good and a heavy run of

The Market.
Buffalo market conditions are sat-
isfactory, although they could be bet-
ter. Business has not the vim to it
that it usually has. Beauties are be-
coming good again and it does one good
to see them once more. The prices on
Beauties are satisfactory. Russell and
Ophelia are in good demand, the quality
being good in both varieties. Carna-
tions are in fair supply and there is no
difficulty in disposing of them. Prices
are holding up well. The Ward carna-
tions seem to be the most popular and
they certainly are the best selling car-
nations that cannot be used in funeral
work. Of course, growers are not apt
to find it that way, because they do not
seem to produce as freely of Ward as
other varieties, such as Philadelphia
and Enchantress Supreme. White Won-
der and White Perfection are grown
considerably for white, while Beacon
manages to hold its own among the red.
At present there is a plethora of
Easter lilies and there is no immediate
relief in sight. Callas continue along
the same lines and sell fairly well.
Sweet peas manage to retain their pop-
ularity. Couronne d'Or tulips are in
heavy demand. Daffodils and jonquils
are mostly of an inferior quality and
good ones are rather scarce. The sup-
ply of valley is slowly increasing and
the orchid situation remains unchanged.
Miscellaneous stock, such as calendu-
las, Roman hyacinths, freesias, daisies,
myosotis and mignonette, sells rather
spasmodically, clearing one day and
dragging the next. Some extra fine
snapdragon may be had and greens of
all kinds are sufficient for demands.
Various Notes.
Recent visitors were P. M. Phillips,
of S. A. Weller, Boston; T. Doyle and
H. S. Baker of Warsaw, N. Y.
The montnly meeting of the Buffalo
Florists' Club was held on Tuesday,
April 4.
Now that Easter is not far off, all
kinds of plants may be had again.
Spiraeas, which have long been looked
forward to, have again appeared in the
market.
The branch store of W. J. Palmer &
Son had a large table decoration at the
Hotel Lenox last week, which was car-
ried out in pink and yellow, with pussy
willows.
Fred W. Wise has good reason to
be" proud of his carnations. His En-
chantress carnations are particularly
fine and a good crop of them is due for
Easter. He says that business has been
more than good.
Theodore Franli has purchased a new
motor truck to aid him in his deliveries.
At S. A. Anderson's store last week
there was a fine display of seasonable
blooming plants.
William Ehmann, of Corfu, reports
that his carnations will be at their best
for the Easter business. His sweet peas
are fair, but not as good as those of
previous years. He is making up for
this with other stock, such as callas,
with which he always has success. He
thinks the Victory carnation much su-
perior to Beacon, as it is not so apt
to split.

FOUB OENEBATIONS OF FLORISTS.
It is not every boy who can boast the
backing of three living generations of
forefathers, but 5-year-old Lawrence
Story Washburn is an exception. In the
accompanying illustration he is seen,
not with the shades of his ancestors, but
with their corporeal selves. From left
to right they are: E. B. Washburn,
father; O. P. Bassett, great-grandfather;
C. L. Washburn, grandfather.
The picture was taken in Griffith
park, Los Angeles, Cal., where the fam-
ily was celebrating the eighty-first
birthday of O. P. Bassett, March 31.
Mr. Bassett, who was the founder of
the wholesale florists' establishment of
Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, is as hale
and hearty as ever and enjoys life to
the utmost.
ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
The wholesale cut flower market did
not improve any over that of the pre-
vious week. Quite a brisk business was
done during the first part of the week,
but there was a notable falling off in
trade Friday and Saturday. The abun-
dance of stock coming in daily is of
prime quality. Prices have been low in
all but the fancy grades, which seem
to hold up well in spite of the big glut
that prevailed all week. Easter lilies
have been somewhat scarce. In fact,
the supply of all bulbous stock has de-
creased considerably of late. Roses
were plentiful all week and good stock
could be had at $10 per thousand. Car-
nations, too, were sold at a low price.
Sweet peas were plentiful and extra
fancy sorts brought 50 cents per hun-
dred, while in other grades 25 cents per
hundred was asked. Violets are becom-
ing scarce. Tulips, Dutch hyacinths
and fancy snapdragons sell well.
Greens, excepting good long smilax, are
plentiful.
Various Notes.
Benjamin U. Dugger, who has charge
of the graduate laboratory at the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, is an authority
on plant diseases. Diseased plants sent
to him will be given prompt attention.
Jules Bourdet, F, H. Weber and
David Geddis stopped off at Pittsburgh
on their way home from Philadelphia.
They were taken in hand by the florists
for an auto trip. Hitting the high
spots was much enjoyed by them.
All of the local nurserymen have
started digging trees and shrubs. The
recent rains helped a great deal to take
the frost out of the ground. Advance
orders will keep them busy until late
in spring.
The fine pink snapdragons noted in
the local market came from John
Steidle, of Olivette, Mo. His rose and
carnation cuts also are noted for their
fine qualily.
A. H. Burkemper, representative of
Four Generattoos of the Bassett- Washburn Family of Florists.
the Grasselli Chemical Co., Cleveland,
O., with offices at 112 Ferry street, has
returned from a southern trip, which
he says was a highly successful one.
George Waldbart takes his daily
automobile trips to his country place in
Clayton. He takes great pleasure in
looking over his big field of spring
stock and fancy chickens.
Local florists were well pleased with
the election of W. A. Rowe to the of-
fice of alderman of Kirkwood. Mr.
Rowe was installed in office April 6.
He is a 2-year-term' trustee of the
Florists' Club.
The mayor's Arbor day committee
celebrated Arbor day, April 7, in con-
junction with the North St. Louis Busi-
ness Men's Association. They planted
a number of trees at Chain of Rocks
park under the guidance of Phil Giebel,
the keeper of the park.
At Windier 's Wholesale Flower Mar-
ket large consignments of extra quality
carnations, sweet peas, roses and
orchids were noted. Frank Windier
says trade has been good the last few
weeks, but not large enough to consume
the daily consignments.
It is a pleasure to visit the estab-
lishment of Charles Beyer, to talk over
old times with Carl and Robert and
look over the well kept place. The big
show house on Grand ,avenue is at-
tractively filled with all seasonable
blooming plants.
Frank J. Fillmore will have a fine lot
of Easter lilies as usual this year. He
does not grow as many as some of the
large growers, but his stock will be fine
and just right for the late Easter. He
reports an excellent trade.
William Ossiek, of the W. C. Smith
Wholesale Floral Co., says the big glut
of stock was handled well and was
cleaned up in good shape, having sold
a big lot of carnations and sweet peas
at fairly good prices in thousand lots.
J. J. Windier and W. C. Smith took
in the big dog show at the Armory hall
last week. Mr. Smith did not enter his
English bulldog "Billy," but from
what he saw he remarked that he
wished he had.
The monthly conference of the of-
ficers of the Florists' Club was held at
the offices of the W. C. Windier Whole-
sale. Floral Co., 1310 Pine street, April
6. A program of interesting talks for
this week's club meeting was made.
There were quite a number of subur-
ban visitors to the wholesale market
last week. Among them I noticed W.
J. Pilcher, W. A. Rowe, Hugo Werner,
•Tohn Connon, Chas. Meyer, Edwin
Denker, Gus. Vennemann, H. Gross,
George Hartmann, Albert and Arnold
Scheidegger, A. S. Cerny, Joseph '

Philip J. Goebel, Jr.
The County Growers ' Association held
its regular monthly meeting April 5, at
the Eleven Mile House. President Fred
W. Ude, Jr., who has been wintering in
Florida, reached here in time to preside
over the meeting. The nomination of
officers took place and the following
were the nominees: W. J. Edwards and
Chas. Meyer, for president; Wm. Win-
ter and Rudolph Gross, for vice-presi-
dent; Joseph Deutschmann, secretary;
Hugo Gross, treasurer. The election of
officers will take place at the May
meeting. J. J. B.

EESULTS.
We give them. Yon get them.
We both have them.
Why cut prices t Everything the trade
uses in the production of plants and cut
flowers has advanced in price. Why not
at least maintain our former standard
of prices to the public?
Nominally the price of glass has held
steady for several vreeks, but jobbers'
quotations on greenhouse sizes are in all
cases dependent on the ability to get the
goods, which is not easy, since factories
are reluctant to cut small sizes.
The average man goes in for quan-
tity production and depends on price to
J sell the stock. It leaves a splendid oppor-
tunity for the grower who keeps it con-
stantly in mind that quality is remem-
bered long after the price is forgotten.
The war has hit the trade in another
spot, the crepe paper supply. Not only
has the price of every kind of paper ad-
vanced sharply in the last three months,
but green dye is unobtainable. Green
crepe paper is unobtainable in quantity
at any price and many houses that had
booked numerous orders for Easter have
been unable to make delivery.
This is another record issue of The
Review. It is a record for volume of
classified advertising, for it contains
twenty-one pages of the "Little Won-
der Ads, " as a user calls them, a greater
number than ever before have been
printed in one issue. The issue also is
a record for the consumption of paper —
the' edition weighs 13,080 pounds, or
nearly seven tons, and readers know what
has happened to the price of paper in the
last few months.
AGAIN, CAN YOU BEAT IT?
West of ttfe great river the florists'
trade is growing faster than in any
other section of the United States;
florists located there sell surpluses
quickly when they advertise them in
The Review, and eastern growers find
the trade traffic flows westward, ever
westward — that's where to look for
mail orders:
Our ad in The Review has sold all the cuttings
of Carnation Nebraska we shall have to offer this
season. — C. H. Frey Co., Lincoln, Neb., April 8,
1916.
No use to continue the ad; we were all sold out
on one insertion. — Casa de Flores Gree'nhouses,
Corpus Christi, Tex., March 21, 1916.
Kindly discontinue our classified ad of gladiolus
bulbs; we are swamped with orders. — G. D.
Black, Independence, la., April 6, 1916.
When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.
HONORABLE MENTION.
Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Review $2, $3, or some-
times $5, instead of the dollar bill that
insures fifty-two visits of the paper.

rolled themselves for more than one

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells th6 story;

IT'S ALL A BOOST.
The Review has received a number
of inquiries from subscribers asking for
an opinion regarding the effects on this
trade of the new purchase-and-delivery
plan of the Western Union Telegraph
Co.
Employing its nation-wide organiza-
tion, the 'Vyestern Union has been able
within a few days to let a large num-
ber of newspaper readers know that it
will execute orders for the purchase
and delivery of merchandise at any
point where the company operates its
money transfer system. Any proposi-
tion looking to the increased use of
flowers is' to the advantage of the
trade. Although the Western Union's
plan contemplates the purchase and de-
livery of many other things besides
flowers, it certainly will increase the
use of the merchandise supplied by our
trade. It will do this in two ways:
First of all, the advertising the com-
pany is doing is of much wider scope
than anything that has been possible
for florists; it is giving the suggestion
to many people florists never have been
able to reach. " Also, the Western Union
is making it easy for people to order
flowers; every blue-and- white sign car-
rying the telegraph company's well
known trade-mark now is the sign of a
flower shop. And telegraph offices are
much more numerous than flower stores
in the United States.
When a telegraph office gets an order
for flowers, some florist gets an order,
the same order, right soon.
Only in a limited sense can the tele-
graph company's operations be consid-
ered as competing with any of the es-
tablished methods of delivering flowers
at a distance. It is true that Johnnie
Jones, who has removed to New York,
may go to the telegraph company to
order the Easter lily delivered next
Saturday to his mother back home in
Keokuk, instead of giving the order
to Blossom & Co., the society florists,
for delivery through trade channels.
Blossom & Co., therefore, will lose their
twenty per cent commission on the or-
der, but the florist in Keokuk, if he is
wise, will charge the telegraph com-
pany the full retail price and he will
get an order worth more to him than
it would be if it came from a florist.
The chances are the publicity work of
the telegraph company, while it will
bring it business to turn over to florists,
also will have the effect of increasing
the telegraph delivery business between
florists through the established trade
channels. This is a department of the
florists' business in which competition
surely will prove to be the life of trade.
Florists should encourage the tele-
graph companies to advertise the send-
ing of flowers as gifts.
NATIONAL SHOW AT CLEVELAND?
Cleveland wants the fifth National
Flower Show and purposes to hold it in
the spring of 1918.
The following letter has been given
to the National Flower Show commit-
tee. April 25 the voters of Cleveland
will pass on a bond issue for $2,500,000
for a Municipal auditorium and exposi-
tion building. This will give Cleveland
plenty 'of room to handle the show in
a big way. The invitation reads:
National Flower Show Committee.
Gentlemen: Cleveland desires the honor of hav-
ing the next and fifth National Flower Show in
the spring of 1918.
The central location of our city, making it of
easy access to the east, west, north and south,
does not have to be argued. This also means a
minimum of express and freight rates for the
exhibitors.
We have an organization that is capable of
handling the undertaking and making good. For
reference: Cleveland flower show, 1916.
Whatever financial backing is necessary will be
forthcoming from our interested organisations In
Cleveland.
We ask for a favorable decision during the
present week if possible.
Thanking you for considering the matter at
your earliest convenience, I remain.
Yours truly,
H. P. KNOBLE. Chairman.
Committee of Invitation Cleveland Florists'
Club. Ohio Horticultural Society. Garden Club of
Cleveland.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
So far as local trade is concerned,
there is no appreciable change in Chi-
cago market conditions. But lucky, in-
deed, is he who has worked assiduously
to build up a substantial list of out-of-
town patrons, for now the volume of
shipping orders is rapidly increasing, as
well as the size of the individual order.
If it were not for the activity of the
shipping trade there would be a glut
in even the short items on the market.
The supply of Beauties continues to
increase, whDe the demand is for only
first-class stock. Any grade falling
below excellent is moved with difficulty.
Other roses, without regard to variety,
are moving slowly, and if it were not
for the shipping trade they would not
move at all.
» Carnations are in light supply, but
are sufficient to meet all present de-
mands,. The Enchantress family still
drags. Another week, however, should
change the carnation situation for the
April 13, 1916.

Order Plenty
for Easter
ON'T be afraid to take hold strong for Easter— it
will be the biggest business the Florists' Trade ever
has seen. Order enough and order of us— do it
today — and then push the selling; we do the rest.
EASTER LILIES
Our Lilies average two and three blooms per stem, just
the kind you want, packed at the greenhouses, 100 in each wood
box, so they will reach you without rehandling.

The Russells we offer you are the finest in America. They took 1st at
the National Flower Show, Philadelphia, and at the International at New
York. We offer extra special Russells at $4.00 per dozen, an excellent value.
But we also have shorter grades— a big cut of the medium and short stock
you can sell in quantity.
CORSAGE FLOWERS
Believing it unsafe to push Violets for so late an Easter, we recommend
that you use Spencer Sweet Peas, Valley and short Roses in your corsage
work. You can give these flowers your strongest endorsement, especially
our Peas and Valley.
FANCY CARNATIONS
The largest supply of fancy carnations in this market.
BULB STOCK
We are the largest handlers of Jonquils in the west, and we have the
only supply of Darwin Tulips in several colors; you surely will want these
regularly, once you try them.
FANCY FERNS
We pride ourselves on the quality of our hardy cut ferns,
supply is not entirely satisfactory, try ours.

better. Growers have again maneuvered
valley onto the short side of the market.
Potted Easter lilies have enjoyed a
splendid sale, but cut stock has not yet
become active. There is every indica-
tion of a large supply of lilies for
Easter, but they will probably average
shorter stems than they have in several
years, for practically all of them will
be giganteums, as Formosas are about
done for. Callas are moving fairly well,
considering the large supply. Cattleyas
continue scarce. A few warm days
would clear the market of violets, but
as it is they are hanging on, though
they have ceased to be a feature of the
market.
Sweet peas still are in fair supply and
continue to experience a good demand.
Calendula, snapdragon and mignonette
are available in quantity. Daffodils are
not moving so well as they should. The
popular taste seems to be for jonquils
and these are moving nicely. Large
quantities of outdoor southern jonquils
are arriving, some too poor to sell.
Freesia is scarcely to be considered, it
is so nearly done for, A large propor-
tion of the tulips received seem to be
spotted and this does much to retard
their sale. The receipts of gladiodi are
rapidly increasing. A welcome harbinger
of spring, Spanish iris, has made its ap-
pearance.
The supply of smilax continues short.
Other greens move, but not huriiedly.
Club Meeting.
The meeting of the Florists' Club
April 6, at the Morrison hotel, will
long be remembered by those present.
It was remarkable for the smallest at-
tendance of any meeting in more than
a year, but twenty-five being present,
and for the fact that of all the club's
officers, only the president and vice-
president were present.

ident Henderson requested James Mor-

During the evening the following
were elected to club membership: Peter
Kohl, of Morton Grove, 111., and Ed-

In spite of the paucity of members
and the lack of formal entertainment,
those present felt well repaid for the

are being asked to contribute, which,
according to C. A. Samuelson, is rub-
bing it in, as the affair will cut a big
hole in the sales of leading retailers.
William Wienhoeber is, in the trade,
the most recent purchaser of a Moline-
Knight.car. He has ordered a 4-pa8-
senger roadster. The Moline-Knight i»
extremely popular among florists, per-
haps in part because Charles Hartwig,

a Moline salesman. Joseph Foerster,
John Michelsen, Ernst Amling, Paul
Weiss, Hector E. Elliott and Frank
Schramm are a few of those in the
trade who drive Moline-Knights.
There will be no shortage of valley
for a time at least, as H. N. Bruns
recently received three carloads of pips
from Hamburg.
A number of florists and their fami-
lies were to be seen in the large audi-
ence at the laying of the corner-stone
of the new Trinity Evangelical Luther-
an church in Oak Park April 9. Among
them were H. N. Bruns, E. C. Amling,
G. Swenson, Alex. Henderson, Paul
Weiss and John Michelsen. The pastor
of the church, Rev. J. M. Bailey, is
Mr. Amling 's son-in-law.
The basket -weaving force of the A. L.
Randall Co., so F. M. Johnson says, now
numbers sixty men and is being en-
larged as fast as trained workers can
be found. Two carloads of willow
were received this week.
Now that the frost is out of. the
ground, work is being rushed on George
C. Weiland's new range of Foley rose
houses at Niles Center.
That section of the Democracy in
which Carter Harrison and Peter Rein-
berg are leaders had a great success at
the election April 11. Mr. Reinberg was
elected delegate to the national con-
vention by a vote of 5,816 to 5,443 for
the redoubtable Mr. Weber.
W. J. Keimel and Guy French re-
turned April 10 from thn Philadelphia
and New York shows. August Poehl-
mann also attended both shows, but
returned a day or two earlier.
Last season's success with Darwin
tulips has more than been repeated by
Sam Pearce, who is closing one of the
best bulb years in his experience.
The sympathy of the trade goes to
J. Mergen, whose only remaining son,
Ernest, a young man of 22 years, died
April 6, of tuberculosis, at the Naper-
ville sanatorium. The funeral was held
from the home, 2025 West Twelfth
street. Interment was in Oakridge
cemetery.
W. E. Tricker, of Arlington, N. J.,
will do a large job of landscape work
on the grounds of the Peabody man-
sion at Hinsdale this summer and is
expected here this week or next to
start the work.
Chicago looks so good to John W.
Mclntyre, formerly in business for him-
self in Philadelphia, that he is thinking
seriously of locating here.
Eric Johnson, of the A. L. Randall
Co., has the sympathy of his many
friends in the trade in the loss of his
sister, Evelyn Johnson, April 4. Four
weeks ago Miss Johnson, who was 24
years of age, was taken to the West
Suburban hospital to undergo an opera-
tion for a growth in her throat. The
operation appeared to be successful in
every respect, and she was convalescing
so rapidly that for three days preced-
ing her death she was able to walk
about in her room. But April 4 she suf-
fered a sudden relapse, which 8i)eedily
terminated in death. Funeral services
were held in Eric Johnson's home, 1439
Thome avenue, April 9. Interment was
in Mount Olive cemetery. Frank Mc-
Cabe, of the A. L. Randall Co., was one
of the pallbearers.
There is no longer any doubt that
the trade can boast a star bowler of
the first magnitude. Last week Fred

Matchless and Alice are two carna-

preparations are being made for bench-

While Emil Reichling, greenhouse

week boosted business in Cicero, ac-
cording to a report from J. J. Kolar &
Son, 5136 West Twenty-fifth street, who
have been enjoying an increased vol-
ume of trade. But then, it may not
be the weather, but the service.
At Winterson's Seed Store comment
is made on the retail sale for "Wash-*
ington brand" cherry trees. Well-
known standard varieties are offered
under this name, well-grown, Indiana
trees, with good roots, and they are
said to sell steadily at $1, $2 and $3
each in competition with 35-cent trees
advertised by department stores. It is
a daily occurrence to see a lady taking-
her cherry tree away in an electric
automobile.
The truth of the old adage, "Where
there 's a will there 'b a way, ' ' has been
proved recently by O. A. & L. A. Ton-
;jier, who have already worked up a
Jigood business in their new quarters.

Visitors.
The Morton Grove greenhouses of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. were visited April
9 by a select party of out-of-town flo-
rists under the able guidance of- Arnold
.Rlngier, Bobert Newcomb aiid Thomas
McAlister. The visitors were: Daniel
MacRorie and Angelo J. Bossi, both of
San Francisco; James Forbes, Portland,
■ Ore., and Samuel Murray, Kansas Oity.
i/The visitors were well entertained and
'-greatly enjoyed the trip.
• Xavier Wojtkiewicz, of Niles Center,
Mich., was a visitor on the Chicago
market last week,
i [ H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, Wil-
'mette and Chicago, is again in town.
Mr. Philpott spends so much of his time
traveling that it is not an easy matter
to keep track of his movements.
W. Li. Bock and wife were in town
April 10 on their way home to Kansas
City after attending the Philadelphia
and New York shows.
A. C. Zvolanek, sweet pea specialist

diolus specialist, was a recent visitor.

The Market.
Business continues to hold up well
and there is a good supply of stock
coming in. Boses are more plentiful
and some extra fine stock can easily be
had, especially of the newer varieties,
which are showing up well and give in-
dications of a bumper crop at Easter.
Bed roses continue to have their call
and it is surprising how they are cleared
during the Lenten season, when it is
usually difficult to dispose of them. Car-
nations are plentiful, but they are de-
creasing in size somewhat. Lilies are
m^Ore plentiful and many are used in
fttnerad work, which continues heavy.
Bulbous stock is abundant and the out-
look is good for Easter along this line,
as everyone seems to have much of this
stock left. Sweet peas hold their own
both in quality and quantity, and all
that come into the market are quickly
sold. Snapdragon was in abundant sup-
pi v last week. Pot plants for Easter
will not be so plentiful as usual, but
^there nevertheless will be a largfe num-

Our Record
|E HAVE been building florists' refrigerators for
15 years, and it has been our aim to build
only the best in every way. Within that time
our business has grown rapidly, until today,
what was at the start a very small shop is
a large and completely equipped and perfectly
organized factory. Our success in the making and mar-
keting Qsf Florists' Special Refrigerators has been very
gratifying, and we attribute this success to a thorough and
practical understanding of the requirements of florists, as
well as to a flxed determination to excel in this particular
line of manufacturing.
We exercise the greatest care in the selection of all
materials entering into our goods, and each and every part
is thoroughly inspected by our experts. In this way we
are able to make refrigerators which not only appeal to
the eye for their beauty of design and finish, but which
excel in every other way.
To establish the reputation we enjoy has required care-
ful study of the florists' special needs and constant guard-
ing against imperfect workmanship and the use of inferior
materials; to maintain this reputation shall ever be our
constant aim, and we promise to all the utmost satisfaction.

The Market.
The impression prevails that the
height of the sweet pea crop has passed
for the time. If that impression is cor-
rect, sweet peas will be in a good but
not overabundant supply for Easter.
The market for the last week has
been dull, with promise of better things
shown in an occasional spurt of busi-
ness. Prices have declined in face of
heavy receipts and the bad snow storm
of Saturday and Sunday. History has
repeated itself, bringing a painful re-
minder of the snow storm of last year
on the day before Easter. Luckily, this
storm, though worse than the last, only
spoiled a Saturday's business, leaving
hope that it will not recur April 22.
There are no special features to the
market besides those already given. The

indications for Easter are for a good
supply of all flowers, with slightly
higher prices on Beauties, orchids, car-
nations, sweet peas and violets. This
forecast is based on the hope of fair,
cool weather. Storms or extreme heat
will upset it. Violets, both single and
double, may still be a factor at Easter,
late as it is, provided hot weather is
deferred. Just now violets, stocks, dai-

greenhouses of Aschmann Bros. The
display of Easter plants is unusually
fine. Their place is in excellent condi-
tion, both on the benches and under-
foiot, where cleanliness and cement
walks abound, if one may use that ex-
pression. The hydrangeas, with leaves
down to the pot, are well covered with
flowers that need no rushing to bring
them to perfection in time. The stock
is evenly divided between three of the
French varieties on the one hand, and
good old Otaksa on the other. The lilies,
all giganteum, are heavily flowered;
they range in height through three
sizes, each carefully graded in houses
by themselves.
The carried-over azaleas are particu-
larly well budded; many of the plants
will, when they come into bloom, be a
compact mass of flowers. While fine,
the importation of last fall is more ir-
regular in shape. This style of azalea
has its admirers, but is hardly as satis-
fying to the skillful grower. Some of
the spiraeas are extremely heavy, well
filled with large spikes that will soon be
in bloom; others are lighter, both in
foliage and in flower. There are fine
roses and dracsenas and ferns and quan-
tities of bulbs in pots, with a vast ar-
ray of spring plants to follow on, which
indicates a good harvest in May, to fol-
low the harvest at Easter.

suffer such serious losses through the
failures of their customers is a condi-
tion that cannot be tolerated. Every
conscientious retailer should do all in
his power to further the interest of such
an association, both for his own good
and for the general welfare — for his
own good because short-time credits will
discourage unfair competition; for the
general welfare because these bad fail-

Godfrey Aschmann's Place.
The greenhouses at 1012 Ontario
street are ready for Easter business.
There is an immense stock that fills
every bench of the entire place. Thpre
are lilies, clean and healthy, with buds
of good length; spirseas in great num-
bers, nicely flowered; azaleas in even
greater numbers, and hydrangeas. These
form the leading varieties of blooming
plants. One of the novelties is the
genista, that I do not recall having seen
here in past seasons. The cinerarias are
covered with large heads of well colored
flowers that command attention the
moment the house is entered. The ap-
pearance of the houses indicates that
the demand has kept pace wit^i the sup-
ply, carrying off those varieties of
plants, particularly in the larger sizes,
that are considered midwinter special-
ties.
Various Notes.
"First on George Henry!" That was
the substance of the wire that Emil F,
Lieker sent over from New York to his
friend, George Aeugle, in this city,
April 7. It meant that Mr. Lieker 's
famous carnation sport from Benora
had been successful at the great New
York flower show.
Alfred M. Campbell, Mrs. Campbell
and Edward A. Stroud visited the New
York flower show April 9, They spent
five hours there, thoroughly enjoying
every moment of their stay.
William J. Baker is handling some
good snapdragon.
The monthly meeting of the German-
town Horticultural Society was held
April 10. William G. Rice, of the En-
gineers' Club of Philadelphia, talked

Stuart H. Miller is receiving Lady
Hillingdon roses, not often seen now,

tions. Shipments of the latter are grow-

said there will be immense receipts for
Easter. The best of the novelties in
large lots sold as low as $20 per thou-
sand April 8.
The best Beauties sold at 40 cents
last week. The flower show has em-
phasized their popularity. Good figures
for the selects will prevail until after
Easter. Beauties and Hadleys are still
running an even race for public favor.
Brunners are here and as popular as
ever. All the newer roses are in good
demand, especially Ophelia, Hoosier
Beauty, Double White Killarney, Kil-
larney Brilliant, Sunburst and Prima
Donna.
Orchids are in great variety and
plentiful. Prices for the selects are
steady. There will be some splendid
Mossise and gigas for Easter, also
phalsenopsis and dendrobiums. There
has been no advance in the values of
gardenias. The best retail stores con-
sider $2 per dozen the present extreme
in price and from that on down to less
than $5 per hundred is reflected in the
offerings of the street merchants. Val-
ley is abundant and prices are reasona-
ble; in fact, most of the select stock
last week sold as low as $2 per hun-
dred. Lilies have also retrograded, the
shorts down to 3 cents and the top
grade to 6 cents each. The tendency is
upward, however, as Easter approaches.

By placing an ordinary shallow cake pan in bottom of bas-

with moss or piece of cheesecloth over screen (to prevent
soil from dropping into pan) you have a self-watering bas-
ket. Try this.

The Summer Flower Show.
A meeting of officials and others in-
terested in the show to be held at Pel-
ham Bay, June 1 to 4, met April 7, there
being about sixty present. Short
speeches were made in favor of the pro-
posed show by Richard Vincent, Jr.,
president of the American Dahlia So-
ciety; Wm. Carter, secretary of the
Bernardsville Horticultural and Agricul-
tural Society; John Featherstone, presi-
dent Tarrytown Horticultural Society;
David Mcintosh, secretary Tuxedo Hor-
ticultural Society; T. A. Havemeyer and
B. Hammond Tracy, representing the
American Gladiolus Society; P. W. Popp,
corresponding secretary of the West-
chester and Fairfield Horticultural So-
ciety; Anton Bauer, of the Deal Horti-
cultural Society; Bertrand Farr, presi-
dent of the American Peony Society,
and W. A. Manda.
It was agreed that a charge of $5
should be made for admission on the
first day, $1 the second day, 50 cents the
third day, with one free day. This mat-
ter, however, together with the appoint-
ment of the various committees, was
left in the hands of the executive com-
mittee of the International Garden Club.
Arthur Herrington was appointed sec-
retary-manager. It is hoped that the
revised preliminary schedule will be
published within the next few days, but
other cups, donations or prizes from so-
cieties or individuals are expected, and
may be added to the final schedule.

The FIcdsts' Review
Apbil 13, 1916.
NASHVILLE, TENN.
The Market.
Last week saw another change in the
market situation here. Stock is none
too plentiful, the cloudy weather having
held it back somewhat, and the recent
freezes undoubtedly have cut off some
of the outdoor stock. Lilacs were well
advanced and the earliest varieties in
the most protected places were even
showing bloom, but now it is feared
that both these and the peonies were
seriously injured. The expected activity
in the seed trade has been put off again.
All agree that business is far below
normal this spring. . The first pot hy-
drangeas made Jheir appearance during
the last few days. They are of excellent
quality and are moving well. Other pot
plants. are scarce, excepting hyacinths.
Roses and carnations are less plentiful
than they were ten days ago, but sweet
peas continu«t as abundant as ever.
Cannas and other bulbs are selling
unusually well, considering the weather,
and the demand ior bedding plants was
ope3aing up when tfie frost arrived. The
calls for dahlias seem to be more numer-
ous this spring than usual.
Various Notes.
The Joy Floral Co. is offering attrac-
tive made-up boxes of hydrangeas at
present. We do not remember having
seen this plant used in this way before.
Oscar Geny is away for a few days at
Redboiling Springs for his health.
The trade here has been interested in
the reports of the high-quality Hadley,
roses at the recent shows, as this rose
has proved a failure here.
The Mt. Olivet Greenhouses are offer-
ing some of the best pot plants that I
have seen this season.
It is reported that Floyd Bralliar is
to sever his connection with the HUl-
crest School Farm, June 1. F. B.
Oklahoma City, Okla. — A baker's
dozen of Beauties were delivered to the
mayor March 26, accompanied by a
card on which was inscribed the follow-
ing: "Greetings to your honor, from
the F. T. D., Fourth National Flower
Show, Philadelphia." Less than an
hour after the message was sent at
Philadelphia, the Furrow Floral Co.
presented the gift to the mayor. Two
hundred mayors were similarly honored.

The Florists^ Review

Apbil 13, 1916.
BALTIMORE.
The Market.
The annual spring glut held off much
longer th9.n usual, but it has arrived at
last. March 7 a snow storm arrived and
crippled Saturday's business; otherwise,
the street fakers would have used the
surplus stock that accumulated during
the week. Boses are plentiful and even
the best grades are selling at low prices.
Carnations are overplentiful and prices
have receded considerably. Southern
daffodils are arriving heavily and the
many Emperors interfere with the sale
of greenhouse stock, especially when
they can be had as low as 15 cents per
twenty-five. Asparagus is out of sight,
both in price and supply. Smilax re-
mains scarce.
Club Meeting.
At the regular club meeting, held April
10, Thomas Stevenson gave an interest-
ing talk on roses, and if the vases of
Killarney Brilliant and "White Killarney
shown by Mr. Stevenson were an ex-
ample of his production he is well quali-
fied to speak on the subject. They surely
were prize-winning stock.
George Morrison was appointed chair-
man of a committee to make arrange-
ments for the fall show to be held in
connection with the Maryland week ex-
hibition in the Fifth Regiment Armory.
Louis P. Eyer was appointed by the
president as club florist for the ensuing
year. Thomas R. Ross, of Sudbrook
Park, was proposed for membership.
Various Notes.
Henry Lehr, who has been ill during
the best part of the winter, is gradually
improving, though he still is in the hos-
pital.
Harrison's Nurseries, of Berlin, Md.,
made free distribution at their branch
store at 507 North Howard street of
15,000 fruit trees to the school children
of the city Arbor day.
Henry Seidlich, of Catonsville, has
purchased a delivery truck, and B. Stoll,
of Brooklyn, has a new pleasure car.
James Hamilton will hold his annual
display of Easter plants to the public
April 16.
Erdman & Ulrich have a fine lot of
Easter stock that will come on in good
time.
Samuel Feast & Sons have a batch of
good rambler roses in pots for Easter
sales. ^W. F. E.
Gloucester, Va. — Clay Drewry, of
Baise Farm, has returned to his first
love, the greenhouse business.
Alton, m. — O. A. Anderson has ac-
cepted a position with the Alton Floral
Co. and will have charge of the 'work
at North Alton.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.
The Market.
Outdoor stock received a considerable
setback last week when the city was
visited by a bad snow storm for this
time of the year. It was a flareback of
winter that caused prices of greenhouse
flowers to stiffen slightly. Gardenias,
which up to this time have been scarce,
rushed into bloom last week to the end
that they were offered by venders on
the streets at 10 cents each. Sweet
peas have been so plentiful that they
are almost without price and at times
have been refused by the street men,
who want something more of a novelty.
Valley is quite scarce and is not in the
best of shape when it arrives from dis-
tant points. It is holding up to $5 per
hundred, but is not purchased by the
retailers when there is the opportunity
to substitute something else. Easter
lilies are quite plentiful apd have been
selling well at from $10 to $12 per hun-
dred. Snapdragon is in fair demand
for table decorations at this time and
white and yellow daisies are popular,
bringing from 50 cents to $1 per hun-
dred. Some excellent purple, double
cornflowers appeared during the week.
There is the usual offering of stocks,
mignonette, pansies and other season-
able flowers.
The price on staple flowers, since the
coming of warmer weather, has fallen
considerably. Carnations are sold at
what the buyer wishes to offer. A

a few choice flowers bring that amount.
American Beauty roses have increased
in quantity and the top price i^^ow $6,
as against $7..50 to $9 last month, and
good stock can be had for considerably
less than that figure. White roses have
been selling well and these cleaned up
daily, bringing from $4 to $8 per hun-

own stock. At the same time protest
was 'made against the requirements of
customers that the florists advertise in
all sorts of mediums from which the re-
turns, if any, do not warrant the ex-
pense involved.
During the consideration of these
matters, it was suggested that the fol-
lowing rules, now observed by other
organizations of Washington, be
adopted:
No member of the Florists' Club of Washing-
ton, D. C, shall advertise In or on anything ex-
cept newspapers, street cars, billboards, theater
programs, city and telephone directories and
publications now enjoying second-class mail rates,
unlessMhe medium has the approval of the ad-
vertising committee.
No member of the Florists' Club of Washing-
ton, D. C, shall purchase any tickets for any ex-
cursion, benefit, fair or similar entertainment
sent in by mail, or otherwise unsolicited, unless
the same has the approval of the advertising
committee.
No member of the Florists' Club of Washing-
ton, D. C., shall donate flowers or other merchan-
dise, or consider any donation or subscription
scheme of any kind, or for any purpose, unless
the same has the approval of the advertising com-
mittee.
Action on the above was deferred
until the May meeting of the club, in
order that all interested may have an
opportunity of becoming familiar with
the proposed rules.
Harry .B. Lewis, chairman of the
committee on transportation for the
Philadelphia flower show, rendered an
interesting report on the trip. The

party from this city was one of the
largest that visited Philadelphia from
a distant city. He and other speakers
were loud in their praise of the excel-
lence of the show.
Mr. Lewis also spoke of his observa-
tions in and around Washington dur-
ing the spring clean-up period. He
called the attention of the members to
the growing activities of would-be gar-
deners, who, lacking a proper knowledge
of gardening, are laying waste many
private estates and lawns. He cited
several instances in which cutting back
had ruined rambler rose bushes and
f orsythia just about to come into bloom.
Comment was made on the practice
of builders who, after erecting resi-
dences at a cost of thousands of dol-
lars, fail to give proper attention to
the grounds surrounding them, content-
ing themselves with filling in with com-
mon clay and trusting to chance that
the grass will come up.
Various Notes.
All attention seems to have been cen-
tered on the bowling tournament now
in progress here. William F. Gude, who
is president of the Atlantic Coast Bowl-
ing Association, sent the first ball down
the alley and, continuing for a single
string, came out top man of the set,
but Mr, Gude absolutely refuses to al-
low the score to be made public. He
sent more balls off the alley than he
knocked down pins, it is rumored.
George C. Shaffer, Edward Niedomanski
and Bobert McLennan have been making
fair scores in the single and double

events with the big pins. They have
good chances of bringing home a few
prizes. -The big noise, as far as the
florists are concerned, took place March
6, when "Shaffer's Flowers" met the
Gude Bros Co. and a number of other
teams in a battle royal. The line-up of
the Shaffer team was Dunn, G. C. Shaf-
fer, A. Shaffer, Supper and Gouldman,
while those bowling for the honor of
the Gude Bros. Co. were Hohman,
Keefer, Palmer, Hawley and Cook. The
score as between these two teams was
1,334 to 1,230. G. C. Shaffer and Keefer
were the top men on their respective
teams, each bowling a total of 282.
Among the week's visitors were Mr.
and Mrs. H. Bayersdorfer, of Philadel-
phia; H. E. Barrows, of Brookline,
Mass.; F. F. Covey, of Fredericksburg,
Va.; Ernest F. Hoehl, representing S.
S. Skidelsky & Co., Philadelphia; M. A.
Vinson, of Cleveland, O.
William F. Gude was installed last
week as exalted ruler of Washington
Lodge No. 15, B. P. O. E., opening the
Elks' new year with elaborate festiv-
ities.
Adolph Gude has returned from New
York, where he visited the flower show,
Mr. Gude is well pleased with his trip
and says that the show was a fine one.

We have had occasional good days,
but, on the whole, business is far from
animated. It is just as good, however,
as anyone could expect a fortnight be-
fore Easter, and everyone is optimistic,
anticipating record business at the great
annual floral festival. Roses are doing
somewhat better than a week ago. They
are in good supply, but the demand has
been good. Special Beauties are scarce,
but the call for them is light. The finest
flowers make $30 per hondred with dif-
ficulty. Medium grades are selling well.
Hybrid teas are now of top-notch qual-
ity. Specially fine are Hadley, Ea-

Eussell, Ophelia and Stanley. The one-
time favorite, Bich~mond, is now rele-
gated to the rear. Short-stemmed stock
is making better prices than last week,
but there is little change in medium and
select grades. Carnations are still some-
what druggy, with prices varying from
$1.50 to $3 per hundred, a few selling
as low as $1. Thanks to continued cool
weather, the quality is superb.
The single violet season dies hard.
Some growers even think they will have
flowers until Easter. Of doubles the sup-
ply is adequate. Pansies of selected,
colors, with good stems, make as much'
as $2 per hundred. Other grades go as
low as 50 cents. Dutch bulbous flowers
are in heavy supply, but the clean-up
is not at all bad. Spanish iris is now
abundant. There are also anemones,
ixias and ranunculi, all of which sell
well. Sweet peas are abundant and of
superb quality. They are among the
most popular flowers at present. Prices
run as high as $1.50 to $2 per hundred
for select long-stemmed Spencers. Cal-
las are heavily overstocked; so are
lilies, both longiflorum giganteum and
speciosum. Forget-me-not sells slowly,
but English primroses and yellow poly-
anthus are in demand. Prices ^re easier
on white and yellow marguerites and
bachelor's buttons. Snapdragons, out-
side of good pinks, are not selling at
all well. Gardenias are in good supply,
with a tolerably good demand. Cattleya
Schroederse is the only orchid now pro-
curable in quantity. Pot plant trade
shows signs of increased activity. The
large specialists all report heavy sales,
some being already practically sold out.

SSOO SOUTH GRAND AVXNUS
Florists' Club at the W. W. Edgar Co.
establishment, Waverley, to inspect the
show of Easter plants. The visitors in-
cluded many ladies and all were well
repaid for their visit, the various houses
being filled to overflowing with high-
grade stock, which eclipsed in quality
anything previously turned out at this
noted plant factory.
The 15,000 lilies, mostly giganteums,
were just in the right condition and a
cleaner and more even lot it would have
been hard to find. Tausendschon and
other rambler roses in large numbers,
polyanthas and hybrid perpetuals were
all fine. The hybrid perpetuals, carry-
ing an average of half a dozen strong
buds each, were especially good. The
carried-over azaleas were splendid; far
ahead of the fall imported ones. French
hydrangeas in the leading varieties
were grandly flowered. These make
much nicer Easter plants than the old
Otaksa. Lilacs, rhododendrons, genistas,
Dutch bulbous plants, etc., were all in
first-class shape. A beautiful specimen,
heavily flowered, of Acacia pubescens
excited admiration. This grand speci-
men was sold, to go to California.
Great quantities of bedding plants,
winter-flowering begonias, cyclamens,
etc., were coming along and all will be
glad to receive some more space as the
Easter stock passes. Under the benches
were quantities of Lilium speciosum for
summer flowering, rambler roses for a
June crop, hydrangeas, etc. No space
here is allowed to go to waste. The
flrm is planning to erect, before another
season, one or two modern houses and
also a new office, show room, etc.
When the large company had gath-
ered in the big packing room and a
generous collation had been disposed of,
speech-making held sway for some time.
James Methven, the club president, in-
troduced the speakers, who were James
Wheeler, Kobert Cameron, who com-
mented on the Philadelphia and New
York shows; Kenneth Finlayson, Peter
Fisher, A. K. Bogers, George F. Stew-
art, W. J. Kennedy, T. H. Westwood
and H. H. Bartsch. President Methven,
amid cheers, presented to Mrs. W. W.
Edgar a fine mahogany English tea
wagon, cake stand and some other use-
ful accessories, on behalf of many
friends. Mrs. Edgar feelingly replied
and expressed her thanks. Little Miss
Edgar furnished a recitation entitled
"Her Sister's Beau." Everyone had
a delightful afternoon and did not mind
the snow which started to fall, heavily

Various Notes.
Local nurserymen are busy digging
trees and shrubs and have more orders
on hand than for some years.
As if we had not yet had sufficient
snow, we got further heavy falls April
8 and 9, driven by a northeast gale.
This storm brought up memories of the
Easter one in 1915.
At A. M. Davenport's, Watertown,
there is a grand stock of Easter flower-
ing plants. Particularly fine are ram-
bler and polyantha roses, deciduous
shrubs, azaleas, genistas and spiraeas.
Everything points to a grand exhibi-
tion in Boston May 10 to 14. Kock
gardens, roses, azaleas, rhododendrons,
pelargoniums, calceolarias, orchids, wis-
tarias and late tulips are only a few of
the many attractive features scheduled.
Interest in the outing being planned
for July by the Gardeners ' and Florists '
Club, to Bar Harbor, Me., on the oc-
casion of the exhibition of the Amer-
ican Sweet Pea Society, is steadily
growing. It will be an all-water trip,
using the five steamers of the Eastern
Steamship Corporation, and already ap-
plications for reservations have come
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Ehode Island, in addition to many lo-
cally.
Charles Evans, of Watertown, has an
excellent lot of Dorothy Perkins, Tau-
sendschon and Crimson Rambler roses
for Easter, in addition to a big lot of
well bloomed Hydrangea Ota^sa, in
which Mr. Evans specializes.
Mrs. Albert W. Roper, and Mark, sec-
ond son of the late Albert Roper, will

tablishment. At present the new cerise

arrived a full day too late, in common
with flowers from S. J. Goddard and
others.
Thomas Roland never had heavier ad-
vance Easter orders and already prac-
tically all his stock is ordered. He has
a grand lot of rambler roses, bougain-
villeas, hydrangeas, marguerites, ge-

William Sim's pick of Spencer sweet
peas now averages 25,000 daily, and I
doubt if any finer flowers are to be
found in America. He also has a big

The present week will finish his single
violets.
Herman Waldecker, of Braintree, is
cutting a fine lot of Spanish iris. White
is the predominant color.
F. W. Fletcher & Co., of Auburndale,
are making a great hit with perennial
larkspurs, which they are now cutting
in quantity. Their yellow marguerites
are good.
H. R. Comley, of Park street, is show-
ing, among other flowers, ixias, tri-
tonias, ranunculi. Iris histrioides and
Iris Hispanica.
A. H. Knight, of Shrewsbury, is mak-

and Nelrose chrysanthemums to W. H.

will be reports on the Philadelphia and
New York shows from some of the visit-
ors from here.
Gypsophila elegans is being grown
here more each year for spring flower-
ing under glass. R. F. Peterson, of
Saxonville, is sending in nice shipments
of it; so, also, is W. R. Nicholson, of
Framingham.
W. A. Riggs is suffering from -an
acute attack of rheumatism. His Easter
plants look uncommonly well. These in-
clude Tausendschon roses, spiraeas, ge-
nistas, lilies and Dutch bulbous plants.
Local visitors to the New York show
were not numerous, but all spoke highly
of the exhibition. Had the two big
shows been separated a little more, the
attendance at the second one would
have been heavier from here.
A. F. Coolidge, of Cambridge, is send-

Seed Trade News
AXESICAN SEED TKAOE ASSOCIATION.
President, John M. Lupton. Mattltuck, L. I.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. K. Eendel, CleTelana, O.
Thirty-fourth annual convention, Chicago, June
20 to 22, 1916.
The death of E. Reece, senior member
of McKay, Reece & Co., Nashville, Tenn.,
is recorded in the obituary column this
week.
The affairs of the bankrupt Johnson
Seed Co., Philadelphia, will be closed up
at a meeting April 17, at the oflSce of the
referee.
March weather in April is prolonging
the season to some extent, but most of the
mail-order seed houses have given up hope
that April 's increase will make up for the
» shrinkage in last month's sales.
The cool weather has proved a boon
to the seedsmen handling onion sets, as
it is making the shipping of them much
less wasteful than it otherwise would be.
The market is well cleaned up.
The heaviest fall of snow of the year
in western Pennsylvania, with a blanket
of white over the entire Atlantic coast
from Washington to Portland, April 8
put a damper on mail orders and counter
trade in that part of the country where
seed stores are most numerous.
After operating successfully in the
onion set territory south of Chicago for
five years, as growers' contracting agent
on a commission basis, J. Kaufman has
decided to engage in the business on his
own account and has leased a warehouse
of about half an acre in area at Thorn-
ton Junction, South Holland, 111., where
he has sidetrack connection with two rail-
roads. His recent operations have ap-
proximated 100,000 bushels per year.
IMPORTS OF BXTLBS.
The following are the official records
of the imports of bulbs and bulbous
roots or corms imported during the last
three years for which statistics are
available:
Year ending June 30 Quantity Value
1913 288,046,000 |1,82.S,307

CABBOT SEED WANTED.
More than 8,000 pounds of carrot
seed are needed to plant a crop suf-
ficient for the requirements of the Brit-
ish government contract for 600,000,000
cans of beef stew for the army, ac-
cording to a statement from Philadel-
phia. The $91,000,000 order for this
special army ration is being handled
by the Imperial Canners, Ltd., a Cana-
dian concern formed especially for that
purpose a month ago by Philadelphians
interested in the Colonial Packing Co.
Referring to the negotiations now un-
der way for the required supplies of
carrot seed, the Ledger says:
"A local seed house expects to land
the contract for about 6,000 pounds of
carrot seed this week. This concern
bid on 4,500 pounds of seed two weeks
ago for the J. T. Polk Co., an Indian-
apolis cannery, which is allied with the
Colonial Packing Co., in the Imperial
Canners, Ltd. The name of the seed
house is withheld for the present, but
an official of the concern said yesterday
that the Indianapolis firm is seeking to
place contracts for at least 8,000 pounds
of seed, or nearly double the quantity
originally figured on.

The Florists' Review
Apbil 13, 1016.
"The local seed firm yesterday noti-
fied the Polk Co. of its ability to fur-
nish between 5,500 and 6,000 pounds
of the carrot seed required and the con-
tract for this quantity may be closed
before the end of the week. Carrot
seed is hard to obtain in large quanti-
ties at this season, as northern needs
have been supplied and surplus stocks
of the seed are all that are available."
BBXTNS GETS VAIJ.EY THBOnQH.
What is thought to have been a
record in several respects was made by
an importation of valley pips by H. N.
Bruns, of Chicago.
It will be recalled that it was re-
ported in this column that a permit had
been issued by the British government
authorizing the uninterrupted move-
ment of about three million pips owned
by Mr. Bruns. The permit read "via
Botterdam, ' ' in accordance with the ap-
plication, but action had been delayed
to the point where Mr. Bruns regarded
it as unwise to ship in the Dutch boats,
which are without refrigeration facili-
ties. He therefore made application by
cable for permission to ship via Copen-
hagen, whence refrigeration is availa-
ble.
The shipment left Hamburg March 6
and the steamer sailed as soon as the
pips were loaded, the first carload
reaching cold storage at Chicago March
30, which is record time. And at that
the steamer was taken into Kirkwall
by a British warship for the examina-
tion of shipping papers.
■ The Bruns shipment required three
refrigerator cars from New York, and
duty and freight advanced were over
$7,000. The pips arrived in excellent
shape, having been under refrigeration
continuously except for the brief time
required for reloading from car to boat
and from boat to car, the car in each
case being at the vessel's side.
TO EXPEDITE IMPOSTS.
Action by the Merchants' Associa-
tion of New York probably will put an
end to the delays in securing imported
stock held by the customhouses pend-
ing the arrival of shipping papers, a
new course of procedure having been
devised.
All American importers have been
experiencing great diflBculty in obtain-
li^ their shipments from customhouse
ofdcials promptly because of their in-
ability to produce the necessary papers,
which often fail to arrive in the
United States until long after the ar-
rival of the goods. Bills of lading and
consular invoices coming through the
general mail have reached this country
anywhere from two or three days to
two weeks or more after the arrival
of the consignments to which they
refer, a delay which is chiefly due to
the censorship which all mail from the
leading European countries now under-
goes.
The effect of this delay, which is
vexatious in connection with any class
of goods, becomes extremely serious
when the goods imported are perishable
and likely to suffer from exposure or
failure to be unpacked promptly, as in
the case of plants, bulbs, etc.
Some time ago the Merchants' Asso-
ciation took up this matter with Col-
lector Malone, at New York, who ex-
pressed his desire to cooperate in bring-
ing relief to importers. He stated that j
Place your order for
COLD STORAGE LILIES
now and have them delivered to you at any time during the year to

and no mistake.
You will likewise find it to your interest to place your orders now
for Cyclamen, Seedlings and Plants; Begonias, Cincinnati
and Lorraine, etc., for next season's delivery. And how about your
Carnation Cuttings? For a list of varieties and prices, as well

New Early-flowering er
Giant Pansies
-bloeming
An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The
main advantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto
existing Pansies is the extreme earliness of flowering
and their unusual hardiness. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin
flowering the early part of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground,
many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when all other
Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well formed and
fragrant. Seed ready July 1.

THE BEST LILY
for the florist to grow for
commercial purposes, and es-
pecially for Easter trade, is
the Lilium Giganteum. And
as there is considerable dif-
ference even in Giganteum,
it is better to get Horseshoe
Brand bulbs, because they
are standard in value and
will net more blooms per
thousand bulbs than any
other brand known. If you
are interested in good lily
bulbs, send us your name^
and address, so you may get
a pricelist occasionally, and
we may become acquainted.
Don't write us for Cold Stor-
age bulbs, for we are sold
out for this year — but in the
fall we will have some nice
bulbs at reasonable prices.
Order them now, there is
nothing to be gained by
waiting and something may
possibly be lost. Write us.

The Florists* Review
April 13, 1916.
consignments of imported goods might
pass through the customhouse even in
cases in which the papers were lack-
ing, provided the third copy of the
consular invoice, which the consul for-
wards direct to the collector of cus-
toms at the port of entry, is at hand
and the importer is willing to file a
bond for the later production of the
missing papers.
In this procedure the information
contained in the' ship 's manifest, which
is filed at the customhouse, is used in
lieu of the data in the delayed, bill of
lading.
The opportunity to take advantage of
this method of procedure depends upon
the prompt receipt of the triplicate
copy of the consular invoice, which is
sent by the consul to the collector of
customs. It has been the practice of
the consuls to forward these papers at
convenience and often with consider-
able delay, because under normal condi-
tions promptitude is not important.
In order to overcome this diflS^culty
the director of the consular service has
instructed American consuls "to forward
in the ofiicial mail the triplicate copy
of every consular invoice to the collec-
tor of customs at the American port
of entry immediately upon its issuance.
The above instructions were sent to
the consuls by cable March 23. As
soon as sufficient time has elapsed for
this procedure to have become opera-
tive, it is expected that the delays
which have recently been experienced
will be overcome.

Pacific Coast Department
Venice, CaL — The florists ' business is
carried on in connection with almost
every other occupation known to man-
kind, so it is perhaps no surprise to
learn that Amet, the Venice florist, is
editor of a newspaper, the Blazed Trail,
organ of the Modern Woodmen.
LOS ANOELES.
The Market.
Abundance of funeral work was the
experience of the retailers last week
and stock cleared nicely. There is
every prospect that good plants will be
scarce for Easter. Good rhododendrons
and azaleas are in the market, but they
will, in many cases, be over before the
holiday. Spiraeas will be about right
and there undoubtedly will be plenty
of Easter lilies. A great many of these
will be over, but there was a large stock
potted this season, and probably our
northern growers will be in as usual
with a number.
Cut flowers are more plentiful, both
from under glass and outdoors. The
roses from under glass are fairly good,
Bussell, American Beauty, Shawj'er,
Prima Donna and Mrs. F. F. Thompson
being among the best. Outdoor Kaiser-
ins now are splendid, large and of purer
white than usual. The rust disease, so
prevalent in carnations last season, is
again showing badly with some of the
growers and this is a matter that will
have to be taken up seriously, or great
damage will occur.
Tulips stUl are good, the better class
of Darwins especially. Callas and
Easter lilies are plentiful and there are
more baby roses and orchids for cor-
sages. Retailers are getting anxious
over Easter stock and are looking up
the powers. The greens situation is
clearing a little, more plumosus being
seen. Pot ferns are plentiful; also
forced lilacs and peaches, which make
a pretty display.
Various Notes.
O. E. Burns, of the "Venice Flower
Shop, on Third street, is sending out an
attractive folder calling attention to
his business.
George Eischen, for many years con-
nected with the J. W. Welters store,
recently bought the Ocean Park store
of W. Armacost & Co. and opened there
on his own account. Mr. Eischen is an
able florist, well known in the business,
and should do well in his new venture.
He certainly wUl carry with him the
best wishes of a host of friends. Miss
Patterson, formerly with Armacost &
Co., goes to Darling's Flower Shop.
A rather bold piece of shoplifting
took place at the Bedondo Floral Co.
store on Seventh street last week. A
well dressed man made a purchase of
$5.50, paying cash. Returning an hour
later, he directed the attention of one
of the clerks another way and got busy
among some Swiss carved vases, pocket-
ing a number of them. He was de-
tected, however, and followed down the
street by A. F. Borden, who allowed
him to go after recovering the vases.
George W. Smith is making big prep-
arations to move to his new nurserv
and has plans for a large lath house of
original design. He purpose^ building
a dwelling there.
The monthly meeting of the Los An-
geles County Horticultural Society was
held April 8, at Kruckeberg's hall. Pres-
ident W. W. Felgate was in the chair
and there was a fair attendance to hear
Mrs. Dean, of Moneta, speak on the
iris. The speaker showed herself to be
familiar with this class of plants and
read an interesting paper descriptive of
the various species and varieties of the
genus. A rising vote of thanks was
given at the end of the paper. Mrs.
Belle Miller repeated her invitation to
visit La Crescenta canons for wild flow-
ers and it was decided to accept her
invitation. The committee on the
smoker reported and the smoker will
be held, as already reported.
Charles Shaw, well known in the
trade here, is leaving for his place at
Acton, where he has taken a reserva-
tion of 120 acres, on which he has built
a house.
Louis Truxler and Louis Lecluse
express themselves well satisfied with
the business done so far at the Uni-
versity Nursery Floral Co. stand on
Vermont avenue. Mr. Lecluse has re-
moved some of the greenhouses from
Hollywood and is reerecting them here.
The new plantings at Exposition park
are beginning to show up well, and
although the grounds were flat and un-
interesting looking at the start, they
now are greatly improved. In the State
Exposition building. Secretary Frank B.
Davison has an interesting show, while
the lawns and herbaceous beds are at-
tractive.
At the Los Angeles Floral Co. store
business continues ^risk. Among the
shipping orders for long distance last
week was one for 5,000 carnations.
H. B. Eichards.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Iilarket.
Business shows no improvement and
flowers are so plentiful that prices in
nearly all lines are unsatisfactory. The
continued warm weather is bringing in
much stock that the growers would like
to hold back for Easter, and in some
quarters anxiety is expressed that the
Easter supply may be curtailed. This
does not appear likely, however, as the
quantity of stock in preparation is
exceptionally large. If some flowers run
a little short it will mean better prices
for others. Offerings of carnations were
comparatively light last week and the
prices were about normal. There is a
large cut of roses, most of them of fair
quality. Ophelia, Killarney and Mary-
land are especially good; baby roses
and sprays of climbers are plentiful and
even fine long Beauties clean up slowly.
Easter lilies are pouring in, but growers
expect to have plenty of them left for
Easter. Herbaceous peonies are com-
ing in, but the supply is decreasing.
A fine crop of Cattleya MossisB is
fairly started and several odd varieties
are appearing, but phalsenopsis is of-
fered less freely. Lilacs, including some
fine varieties, are plentiful. Late tulips
are in heavy supply and show up well
as to quality. Some large lots of Span-
ish irises are seen, but the quality is
nothing extra. Anemones, ranunculi
and ixias still are prominent, while
f reesias are scarce and daffodils are
gone. A few violets are still seen and

TTie Florists* Review
April 13, 1916.
there are too many short, trashy sweet
peas. Pink snapdragon is beginning to
appear and cleans up well, but other
colors are neglected. Stocks, forget-
me-nots, marigolds, marguerites, etc.,
are offered freely but find limited de-
mand. Pansy plants in bloom hold up
well. There is enough asparagus for
present needs. Rambler roses are im-
proving and wistaria still is good. Mord
azaleas and some fine rhododendrons
are offered, as well as a few first-class
French hydrangeas. Heather and spi-
raeas are plentiful and move slowly,
while gloxinias are fairly well received.
Horticultural Society Meeting.
The monthly meeting of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society, April 1,
showed some reaction from the recent
social activities, the attendance being
rather light, and the absentees included
some of the officers and other leading
spirits, as well as those who were at
the flower show.
Several interesting matters came up,
however, principal among them being
the reports of the committees. D. Eay-
mond, for the picnic committee, an-
nounced plans for an outing at Pine-
hurst, July 30, with a charge of 75
cents per person from San Francisco or
Oakland; that the grounds were 35 min-
utes' ride from Oakland and that there
was no bar within a mile of the place.
His report was approved and it was de-
cided to dispense with games on the
occasion, but to have music for dancing.
The exhibition committee reported
that a meeting had been held the week
previous, at which it was decided to
have a show this fall, and further plans
and a schedule of prizes will be taken
up at the next meeting. H. D. Eng-
land, of Burlingame, applied for admis-
sion to the society, and under suspen-
sion of rules was admitted at that meet-
ing, along with Frank Forrest, P. Flip-
pelli, Ernest Stover and J. R. Macdon-
ald, who had been proposed at the pre-
vious meeting.
The proposed amendments to the by-
laws came up for second reading and
there was considerable discussion pro
and con. In the absence of the chief
proponents of some of the propositions,
the talk was largely. con. It was voted
to give a $25 cup for the Marin county
flower show in May and the committee
consisting of Messrs. Pelicano, Bagge
and Axel, which was appointed to de-
termine what the prize should be for,
decided on the best group of flowering
plants arranged for effect, not over 100
square feet. This has since been added
to the published premium list as a spe-
cial prize. In regard to a field day, the
suggestion that the society attend the
Marin show in a body met with gen-
eral approval. It was suggested that
members should take an interest in the
coming sweet pea show. As no lecture
had been provided, the meeting closed
with a general discussion of several
questions as to horticultural methods
brought up by various members. The
evening's exhibits were as follows: Two
vases of ranunculi, by Frank Pelicano,
70 points; ten vases of lilacs, including
some fine double varieties, by J. Gill,
75 points; plant of Dendrobium thyrsi-
florum, by J. A. Carbone, 98 points.
Various Notes.
There has been considerable com-
plaint among local growers about rot-
ting of the later importations of ranun-
culus bulbs.

The Market.
The volume of business handled last
week was fully up to the normsd for
the first week of April. Counter trade
was helped by favorable weather and
a fair quantity of orders for funerals
came in. From all records available,
March business was better than that of
March of last year. A little bedding
stock was sold, but this branch of the
trade was not pushed by the dealers.
Perennials and ornamentals moved
briskly. Concerns doing a catalogue
business report that districts east of
the Cascade range have responded bet-
ter than those west of the range. De-
pression in the lumber business is cited
as the chief cause for the difference.
Growers of bedding stock have prepared
for a heavy call, as all the outdoor
stock, except the hardiest sorts, was
killed during the winter. Many varie-
ties of fruit trees and all the early
shrubbery have come into bloom. The
warm days have helped the growers of

LOOMIS. CAU
Easter lilies and most of the stock will
be brought in on time.
The carnation blooms are first-class,
but the stems of many varieties are
brittle, causing losses in handling. But
few varieties of blooming pot plants
are shown, and ferns are none too
plentiful.
Various Notes.
The Portland Floral Society will hold
its monthly meeting Tuesday, April 18,
at 8 p. m.
Otto Lemke is cutting some excellent
Alice carnations. Niklas & Son say
this variety is a better keeper than
Enchantress.
Max Smith filled some good-sized
orders for funeral work last week.
Martin & Forbes exhibited some
blooms of the new rose. Gorgeous.
A. F. Lalane has a flower stand in
the Market building, across the side-
walk from some of the public market
booths. He says he keeps prices up
within reason, bu-t that on the street
plants and flower -a are constantly sold
at prices far belo~w the cost of produc-
tion. He cites as examples daffodils
at 5c per dozen ; geraniums, 2^: or
3-inch, at 5c eacta, often including the
pots. He predict::8 that ruinous prices
will eventually demoralize trade on the
street and affect the concerns having
an established bu-siness.
Eahn & Herbert are cutting some
fine Cecile Brunner roses and pink
snapdragons.
Oregon grape has been used exten-
sively in landsca3)ing the public parks.
It is now in fuLl bloom and makes a
fine showing.
H. Diersch has built a small green-
house at 325 Trrenton street and will
grow stock to r«Btail among his neigh-
bors.

The Market.
There is a good demand for all kinds
of flowers and, while the supply is none
too heavy in any line, there is no short-
age of seasonable flowers. Carnations
are in good demand and the prices are
firm. The bright weather improves the
quality of the flowers. Boses are fairly
plentiful now and all kinds are meeting
a brisk sale. Bulbous stock from un-
der glass is almost over, but good out-
door narcissi are coming in and selling
at good prices. Forget-me-nots, mig-
nonette and snapdragons are arriving
in moderate quantities and a few out-
door violets are quickly disposed of.
Azaleas are scarce and bring good
prices. Genistas and hydrangeas are
here and selling well. Valley is fairly
plentiful and there are many cut lilies
and callas. The sale for early bedding
stock is good. There is an unusual de-
mand for pansies.
National Dahlia Society.
The National Dahlia Society of Amer-
ica has elected the following officers:
President, Eichard M. Buttle, of Seattle;
vice-presidents, A. W. Witherspoon, of
Spokane, and Olaf J. Wingren, of La
Conner, Wash; corresponding secretary,
E. W. Gill, of Portland, Ore.; treasurer,
J, R. Thompson, of Tacoma, Wash.;
chairman exhibition committee for 1916,
Leslie E. Doolittle, of Pacific Grove,
Cal.
The president appointed the follow-
ing officers: Assistant secretary for
Great Britain and foreign countries,
James B. Eiding; assistant secretary
of the New England states, George L.
Stillman, of Westerly, R. I.; assistant
secretary for the interior, W. W. Wil-
more, of Denver, Col.; assistant secre-
tary for New Jersey, Mrs. H. M, Stout,
of Short Hills, N. J. ; assistant secretary
for Puget Sound,. Herbert Dutton, of
Seattle.
It was decided that the 1916 exhibi-
tion of the society be held in San Fran-
cisco. The president and the corres-
ponding secretary hold office for three
years; the others are elected annually.
Various Notes.
A distressing accident involving the
death of the 10-year-old son of Andrew
Matthiesen, of the Matthiesen Green-
houses, occurred March 4. The boy had
attempted to ride on one of the dump
cars engaged in grading operations on
Raimer avenue. In doing so he slipped
and the following car passed over his
body and he died a few minutes later.
At Hollywood Farm, Victor Ander-
son has completed the erection of a new
house, 39x225 feet, of semi-iron con-
struction, and a lean-to, 12x75. The
larger house makes a considerable ad-
dition to the extensive plant, but it is
required to supply the constantly in-
creasing demand at the Hollywood Gar-
dens store. T. W.

The reluctance of spring is giving the
nursery trade a chance to reap the benefits
of a prolonged season.
Labor shortage and freight embargoes
are a handicap, but orders are going out
rapidly, with the prospect that the sea-
son's shipments will total up to any rec-
ord the nursery trade ever has made.

Nursery Business Improvliig.
"The consensus of opinion from all
sections of the country," said Lloyd C.
Stark, of Louisiana, Mo., "is that the
war has adversely affected the nursery
business in about the same ratio as
general business throughout the coun-
try. In the east, also west of the Bock-
ies, the fruit tree business has been
hurt worse than the ornamental trade.
This is true particularly of the east.
In fact, the ornamental business, every-
thing considered, has been unusually
active; the great danger that now con-
fronts nurserymen is that this increased
demand for ornamental stock will, in
another year or two, encourage excess-
ive propagation that will glut the
market with ornamentals and yfe will
have the pleasure of seeing ourselves
handling ornamentals at less than cost
of production, just as we have wit-
nessed in the last few years an over-
production of apple trees.

mal. The statements I have just made,
of course, apply to the entire period
since the beginning of the war.
"In the last few months conditions
have taken a radical change for the
better, and now almost every business
in every section is already radiating,
or about ready to radiate, with opti-
mism. The press of the United States a
few months ago was predicting pros-
perity; now we hear, see and feel that
prosperity has arrived. Times are bet-
ter; there is no one who will attempt
to gainsay that fact. The nursery busi-
ness has greatly improved and the out-
look for spring is much brighter.
Agricultural Prosperity.
"This return of prosperity, some
nurserymen will tell you, is due to the
war — munition orders, war prices for
grain crops, the big increase in our
trade balance with Europe, the big in-
crease in our gold reserve. Those who
assign these reasons only, fail to reach
the basic causes, which, my investiga-
tion shows, are — and this applies par-
ticularly to the nursery business — the
enormous crops and the exceptionally
high prices prevailing for the season
just closed. The nursery business is
largely dependent on the purchasing
power of the farmer. When he is in a
buying mood nursery stock moves;
when he is feeling pessimistic our sales
drop. In 1913 and 1914 the farmer
passed through two withering droughts;
the south suffered severe losses in cot-
ton and the nurserymen felt the re-
sults. So did the large orchard com-
panies, many of which ceased to exist
and others of which have had hard
sledding. The big commercial plant-
ings dropped off rapidly. Last year we
had good crops and the country banks
are full of money. Farmers feel pros-
perous and in the last few weeks have
begun to buy trees somewhat in the
old-time manner. If nothing unfore-
seen shall occur we may expect a much
better spring than last.

a fair price. Hill Boxwoods and Bay Trees are the business building kind. You will
not be disappointed. They are the cream of especially selected stocks, grown for

The Florists' Review
ApniL 13, 1»16.
Overproduction a Menace.
"But now to get right down to brass
tacks. One other reason, the chief rea-
son for the depression in the nursery
business, is this same threadbare old
friend, overproduction. The big com-
mercial plantings prior to 1910 and
1911 made too many nurserymen plunge
into deep water. As a body, we
nurserymen have trusted too much to
blind providence and depended too lit-
tle on our cool, deliberate judgment.
Too many nurserymen are born opti-
mists. It seems that we will not permit
ourselves to look back over the past;
we try to forget the big bonfires and
remember only the palmy days.
"My recent somewhat extensive cor-
respondence on this subject bears out
this fact. Of the nurserymen to whom
I wrote, especially those who were un-
able to give the matter much of their
valuable time, seventy-five per cent re-
plied that they did not know just why,
but they somehow felt that after the
close of the war we shall experience
a great wave of prosperity in the nurs-
ery business.
"I think the most dangerous thing
that confronts the nursery fraternity is
undue optimism. What we need right
now is conservative propagation,
coupled with up-to-date methods of
doing business, undaunted determina-
tion to succeed and a strong, healthy,
conservative confidence in the future
of our country and the nursery pro-
fession.
Safety First; Also Second.
"If we will hold our plantings with-
in reasonable bounds and realize that
boom plantings are of the past, pos-
sibly never to return, I believe we shall
all do a profitable business. I think
we should be ready at least for a tem-
porary slump following the close of the
war. After that slump I think the na-
tion will soon recover, but all the pros-
perity in the world is not going to off-
set blind, unwise, top-heavy propagation
of trees in either the fruit or orna-
mental line. The man with blind be-
lief in prosperity to come, who plunges
into the propagation of more stock
than his selling machinery warrants, is
the man who is going to make hard
times for the nursery fraternity. He
is a greater enemy to himself and more
of a menace to his profession than are
all the wars and all the destruction in
Europe.
"If we grow for a normal demand,
husband our resources, be ready for the
rainy days, are conservative in our
propagation, progressive in our sales
methods, the demand for nursery stock
during and after the war will hold no
unusual dangers for the nurserymen."

THE
PANAMA CANNA
Antoine Wintzer's Most Distinctive Creation
A NTOINE WINTZER has probably
-^~^ done more than any other man in
America to make the Canna a thing of
wondrous beauty. For nineteen years he
has hybridized and ' experimented to
improve the type, with a genius and
patience almost beyond understanding.
In the Panama, the Canna Wizard has
produced a type that marks an epoch in
his years of painstaking endeavor. He
counts it among the most worthy of his
"Canna children."
The Panamais uniquely different from
other Cannas. It is more strikingly
beautiful, more thoroughly charming in
its gorgeous colorings. The Panama is
of a decidedly distinct and individual
type— a type that is destined to be pop-
ular with Canna lovers. The coloring
of this handsome Canna is truly unus-
ual, being an attractive rich orange red,
with a well defined edge of bright gol-
den yellow. The flowers are very large,
with petals that are almost round and
as broad as they are long and with an
immense spread of individual blooms.
No one who has seen this splendid
Canna in bloom is inclined to wonder
at the sweeping recognition it has re-
ceived at the leading Horticultural
i>rize- winning events.

eral city offices, which will be moved

Nine Cent" Moore, has opened a flower
shop there, getting most of his stock
from Los Angeles.
E. Johansen, who supervised part of
the gardening of the San Diego Expo-,
sition, has established a nursery on Sec-
ond avenue, San Mateo. He formerly

at Oroville, Cal.
The Lincoln Floral Co., recently es-
tablished at 327 Devisadero street, is
preparing to move into larger quarters.
Owing to the construction of a build-
ing at their old location, the Misses
Hannon have occupied temporary quart-
ers at 368 Sutter street.
The Richard Diener Co., at Kentfield,
has comj)leted its greenhouse and soon
will be ready to begin outdoor planting.

geles.
E. James, of Oakland, is sending in
good rambler roses and has a lot of
fine stock in the houses to be ready for
Easter. He has a few of the large ones,
which made a hit last year, and says
he could have sold many more. He will
have a fine lot of bougainvilleas in
pots, for which a good demand is anti-
cipated. S. H. G.

How Much are Dead
Flowers Worth?
There is no market for them except the
garbage can. And that means not only loss of
sales and profits, but it represents money out,
because you must pay for your stock whether
you sell it or throw it away.
If you could realize on all the blossoms that now
wither in stock and are discarded, think how much
your profits would increase by stopping this loss. And
at no additional overhead or expense.
You can do it with a
McCray Florists
Refrigerator
The McCray patented system of refrigeration pro-
vides for a cool, even temperature and keeps your
flowers fresh and salable, preventing loss from with-
ered stock.
The McCray Florist Refrigerators come with plate
glass doors and sides which show the flowers attrac-
tively. The different compartments vary in size to
accommodate the various lengths of stems.
The woodwork of the McCray may be had in any
finish to match your store's interior decoration. The
linings may be had in either bevel plate mirror or
white enamel, are handsome and easy to clean.

THE BEST RED CARNATION
RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT!
'INNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo. 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long,
strong and stiff. - We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant
bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family.
Price of 2-inch plants is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.
We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate price.

The Market.
There has not been much change in
market conditions since the last report.
There is evidence of the approach of
Easter in the arrangement of plants in
the retail stores. New baskets of plants,
with ribbons, and pots of made-up
plants are attracting some attention.
The various designs of bird baths, but-
terflies and artificial pond lilies are be-
coming popular.
The wholesale houses are clearing on
everything except lilies and violets.
Stock of all kinds is coming in freely.
There are splendid sweet peas, snap-
dragons, yellow and white daisies,
lupines and mignonettes. Indications
are that there will be no advance in
prices for Easter, except on carnations.
Club Meeting.
The Florists' Club met April 4 in the
Fort Pitt hotel. Reports from those
who had attended the FhUadelphia
show were received. All pronounced
the show splendid and spoke of the
good treatment and a worth-while time
generally. - , ,., , ^
M. Curran exhibited splendid plants
of schizanthus and a specimen of
Clarkia elegans five feet high. He was
awarded a first-class certificate.
James Murphy was given a certificate
of merit for his exhibit of calceolarias
and a first-class certificate for a new
pink seedling snapdragon.
Carl Beckerer showed purple gloxin-
ias and was awarded a cultural certifi-
cate. N. F. Forsyth had a Formosa lily
seven feet in height, for which he was
given a cultural certificate.
There was a move on the part of some
of the members to make arrangements
for a banquet, but this was postponed
until the next meeting. Clarke.

/^AN you imagine anything
more beautiful than *the
above cut? Do you know of
any plant in bloom that will
take the eye of your customer
quicker than an "Easter Greet-
ing"?
To say that "Easter Greet-
ing" and its Sports are "Won-
ders" is putting it mildly;
their equal has never been
originated. In order to get
these beautiful plants estab-
lished everywhere, we are going
to make a special offer, for a
limited time: For all cash
orders of 100 or more "Easter
Greeting" at $8.00 per 100, we
shall add 10 "Wurtemburgia. "
These plants are all from
2 >^ -inch pots and are A-1
stock in bud and bloom, and
will make fine plants for
Memorial Day.

NEWARK, N. J.
Tbe Market.
Cut flowers of most kinds are abundant
and cheap at the present time. All kinds
of bulbous stock are plentiful and the
flowers are generally of good quality.
Carnations are coming into the market
in large quantities and are low-priced.
The long-stemmed varieties of roses are
more abundant than two or three weeks
ago and the price is proportionately
lower. Spiraea has made its appearance
and is of high-grade quality. Sweet peas
continue to be popular. During the last
ten days the stock of hardy rose bushes
and other plants for spring planting has
been greatly increased.
Business continues to be good, though
not so brisk as it was. There still is
considerable funeral work and much hos-
pital trade.
Various Notes.
McLaughlin & Murphy report that
business during January, February and
March was far better than that of the
corresponding months of last year. April
started out slowly, but it is thought the
dullness is only temporary.
J. W. Blakely, of Elizabeth, says that
the winter and early spring trade has
been unusually good. There have been
large quantities of funeral work and
many hospital orders.
The S. A. Rogers Nursery Co. featured
window boxes in its window display last
week, a large window box filled with
blooming plants being the center of the
display.
A new flower shop has been started
at Bloomfield and Mt. Pleasant avenues
by W. R. James. The new shop is on a
good corner and is large, light and at-
tractive.
The stock and furnishings of the store
of the late Jacob B. Harvey were sold
at auction last Monday. Mrs. Harvey
is visiting friends in the south.
Details of the H. C. Strobell bank-
ruptcy are given under Business Embar-
rassments.
J. Rose states that business is a lit-
tle quiet just now, but indications are
that it will be good at Easter.

The Market.
Taking into consideration the Lenten
season, the florists could not hope for
better business. The bright days of the
last few weeks have had their effect on
greenhouse stock, and the results are
that the market is overstocked. The
supply of carnations and Easter lilies
is especially heavy, while the supply of
other stock is greater than usual. It
is a hard matter to dispose of this sur-
plus at any price, as the market seems
to be in the same condition throughout
the country.
Various Notes.
The monthly meeting of the Knox-
ville Florists' Society was held April
10 at the Baum store. The meetings of
late have been largely attended and
unusually enthusiastic, probably on ac-
count of the refreshments served at
every meeting. At each meeting a com-
mittee is appointed to purchase refresh-
ments for the next meeting. So far this
has proven to be the best method of
getting a large attendance.
Since purchasing the store and green-
houses of the C. W. Crouch Co., A. J.
McNutt has made many improvements.
The interior of the store is being com-
pletely overhauled and when finished
will have a distinctive appearance. Mr.
McNutt has replaced the "Little
Henry" delivery car with an Overland
truck, and has made a number of
changes and improvements at the green-
houses.
Will Eyno has been ill for some time,
but is reported to be improving.
A. H. Dailey is beginning to receive
orders for bedding plants. He has about
the finest lot of plants ever seen in this
vicinity and no doubt will do a. great
business, as the demand for this line
of stock is heavy in Knoxville and
vicinity. ^- E. M.
Charlotte, Mich. — W. E. Garman, of
the Ferndale Greenhouses, is growing
125,000 plants of Atropa Belladonna
for a local physician. The price of
the drug taken from these plants has
advanced more than 100 per cent since
the European war started.

The Rorists' Review
125
Our stock of Easter Plants has never been so fine as this year; careful
selection and good growing have enabled us to offer to our customers the
finest stock of plants that can be seen anywhere, of good commercial sizes
and at the right prices for good stock. Don't delay ordering* as
good Easter stock will be scarce this year owing to the fact that some grow-
ers were afraid that they could not hold their stock back until the 23rd of
April, while others only planted half their usual Easter stock, so they could
grow their spring stock.
AZALEAS. We have our usual large
stock of this popular plant in large and
small sizes and in the best popular

MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Last week saw the market plentifully
supplied with first-class stock of all
kinds. The cool weather is responsible
for the fine condition of the stock, and
if such conditions continue, the pros-
pects are bright for some extra fine
stock for Easter, in goodly quantity.
Carnations are none too plentiful, but
the stock is fine for this time of year.
While no orders are being turned down,
the limited supply keeps prices good.
Roses are fine and there are lots of
them. They are selling well and, of
course, the shorter grades are in extra
demand.
Bulbous stock continues good, and
present conditions indicate that there
will be plenty of it in the market at
Easter. Violets are holding up excep-
tionally well for this time of the year.
There is plenty of this stock to supply
the demand, and singles are having the
preference. Sweet peas are not quite
so plentiful as they have been. The old
crop seems to be going oflF, which can
be seen by the short-stemmed stock now
in the market. Growers of this stock
report, however, that they will have a
new crop for Easter, which will be in
fine shape if weather conditions remain
favorable. There seems to be just about
enough valley to go around. Some ex-
ceptionally good stock is to be had and
some is of rather poor quality. Prices
are good and the stock is cleaning up
daily. Orchids are scarce. There are
few in the market at this time.
Plants are exceedingly fine thi.s year
and are in large supply for the Easter
trade. The bulk of the Easter lily crop
will be just about right for that oc-
casion, but as Easter is exceptionally
Jate this year some of them will be in
a little early. All plants are selling
well and many advance orders have
been booked for Easter delivery.
Various Notes.
N. Zweifel, who sold his greenhouse
establishment almost a year ago and
retired from the business, has not lost
his keen interest in the doings of the
trade. He has completed a visiting
tour of the diflFerent establishments in
this vicinity. He is much sought after
in judging exhibits, and is an active
member or the Florists' Club.

Greenhouse Heating.
^^^^ ^ ■■— - ■ I »
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 COAL MABKET.
The coal market is dull, unquestion-
ably dull, principally for the reason
that the majority of retailers and many
consumers purchased heavily during
the period of uncertainty preceding the
new agreement between the operators
and miners in the bituminous districts,
and therefore are now well supplied
with fuel. The general resolution seems
to be to reduce the stocks on hand be-
fore beginning to worry about a future
scarcity. One cause of uneasiness is
the likelihood of a shortage of labor at
the mines when business- again becomes
active, but this is too vague a forebod-
ing to cast much of a gloom over the
situation. In the smokeless market, it
is said, "there is every evidence of a
congestion of unsold coal. Thus the
market technically is soft, but prices
are firm." Contracting on the new
basis is active and seems to indicate,
in Chicago at least, an acceptance of
the new circular, which quotes mine-
run at $1.35 f. 0. b. the mines and $3.40
f. 0. b. Chicago.
WHICH IS THE CHEAPER FUEL?
I have two greenhouses. One of them
is 18x45, with no glass in the side walls.
The other is 29x76, with two feet of
glass in the sides. They are to be
heated with hot water. Which would
be the cheaper fuel for these houses,
gas at 25 cents per thousand or slack
coal at $1.25 per ton? If I install a
large boiler, will it be necessary to fire
more than once during the night in
cold weather? How would I then keep
the house cool when the sun comes out
early and there is still a fire in the
boiler? S. L. W.— 0.
The first cost of natural gas will be
more than that of slack coal at the
prices mentioned, but if allowance is
made for the labor of firing, handling
ashes, etc., the gas will be less expen-
sive than the coal.

We have assisted many- growers In the development of successful heating systems
and our engineering department offers a service, and the benefit of a knowledge and
experience of incalculable value, to those who contemplate the erection of heating
plants, no matter how small or how large, hot water or steam.
KROESCHELL CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM-
Installed for John G. Frisz, Vincennes, Indiana.
This plant at present covers over two and one -half acres of ground- space
and was formerly heated by a large number of boilers located in different parts
throughout the plant.
Two years ago Mr. Prisz contemplated an addition of a new block of houses,
and as the heating systems in use were not successful, Mr. Frisz called on us
for advice.
We suggested a central heating system and recommended that all boilers
be torn out and disposed of, and in place of same advised that the new power
plant be located at the extreme north-east corner of the plant alongside of the
railroad tracks.
The new equipment consists of two No. 18 Kroeschell hot water boilers
(central station type), one 60 H. P. steam boiler, two 8-inch circulating steam
boilers, and steam condenser. Only one of the hot water boilers was required
to heat the entire plant, although the temperature had reached 20° below zero,
the coldest winter in this section for many years.
In planning this heating system the equipment installed allows for a great
increase in glass.
With our system there is no expense on the operation of the circulating
pumps, as the exhaust steam from same is utilized to reheat the water coming
from the greenhouses. With this system there is absolutely no waste.
The same season the new heating system was installed 20,000 sq. ft. of glass
was added to the plant, and in spite of this the new system made a saving of
over 12 carloads of coal over the amount of fuel consumed the season before;
and remember, the new plant heated 20,000 additional glass besides.

but it appears to be about twenty-five

feet. All of these houses are six feet
to the plates.
One of the outer houses has two
feet of glass in the outside wall and
is to be heated to 55 degrees when the
outside temperature is 10 degrees be-
low zero. For this house we would use
one 2-inch overhead flow pipe and six
1^-inch or eight 1-ineh returns. For
the other 18-foot bouse, which has three
feet of glass, a temperature of 60 to
65 degrees is desired. One 2-inch flow
pipe and nine 1%-inch or twelve 1-inch
returns should be used. To give 55
degrees in the middle one of the three
houses, supposing it is twenty-fiA'e feet
wide, we would use one flow and eight
1%-inch or ten 1-inch returns.
In the new section, which is on the
opposite side of, and twenty-five feet
away from, the boiler house, there are
three houses, each 25x100, with the
plates seven feet from the ground, and
the outside walls have four feet of ex-
posed glass.
One of the outside houses is to be
heated to 50 degrees when 10 degrees
below zero. For this we would use
one 2-inch overhead flow and eight V/i-
inch or ten 1-inch pipes. In the mid-
dle house, for which the same tempera-
ture is desired, but which has no ex-
posed walls on the sides, use one flow
and six or seven 1%-inch returns or
nine 1-inch returns. In the other house,
which iias one wall exposed, and for
which the temperature should be 60 to
65 degrees, use two flows, one upon
each plate, and either eleven lJ4-inch
or fourteen 1-inch returns.
Where there is but one flow pipe in
a house, it should be carried to the
farther end of the house and, at the
ends of the benches, should branch
each way and drop down a 1^-inch
pipe where needed to supply the coils,
which should be under the benches ex-
cept in the houses with exposed walls,
which should have two or three returns
on these walls. In the house with two
flows, all of the returns may be on the
walls, or all but three returns on the
outer wall may be under the benches.
With a little care in firing, it should
be possible to heat all of the houses in
both ranges with a SS-horsepower
boiler, and a SO-horsepower boiler
would furnish a wide margin. For the
main flow to each of the ranges a
4-inch pipe will answer.
POSITION or ORATE BARS.
In a horizontal tubular boiler, 6x18
feet in size, what should be the distance
from the grate bars to the shell of the
boiler, in order to obtain the best re-
sults in firing? We have been told
that thirty inches is about right, while
others advocate forty inches.
G. V. B. & B.— Mich.
For a boiler of the size mentioned,
the distance between the grate bars
and the shell of the boiler may vary
from thirty-two to thirty-six inches.
We would use the greater distance
where the grate bars are sftiort and the
grate area consequently is small, but
we would allow less space where the
grate bars afford a large grate area.
On the whole, we prefer the latter ar-
rangement, as this is adapted to a
'thin fire.

The Florists' Review
Apsil 13, 1916.
FORT WAYNE, IND.
The Market.
Delightful spring weather prevailed
last week until Thursday, when cold,
wintry weather set in, accompanied by
a heavy snow storm. The effect of this
cold spell is beginning to be noticed in
the supply of cut flowers in the market,
particularly roses, although carnations
and spring flowers are equal to the de-
mand. No harm was done to the out-
door shrubs. The best varieties of roses
in the market now are Ophelia, Kil-
larney. White Killarney, Shawyer, Rus-
sell and Sunburst. Red roses are scarce
and white are none too plentiful. Carna-
tions are of good quality. Sweet peas
are meeting with a fine sale, but the
supply is large and prices are moderate.
Violets are scarce. The demand for val-
ley and orchids is weak. Easter lilies
are exceedingly plentiful, and callas are
easilv obtainable. Snapdragons are of
excellent quality and are eagerly
bought. They bring good prices.
Funeral work has been plentiful and
there has been a good demand for flow-
ers for table decorations. There are
some handsome rhododendrons in the
market. Azaleas are of splendid qual-
ity, and spiraeas, white lilac and hydran-
geas make a good showing together with
the tulips and Dutch hyacinths, which
are of fine proportions.
The outlook for the Easter business
is exceedingly good. Considerable ad-
vertising is being done by the local flo-
rists in the form of booklets and fold-
ers. It will be late for any large variety
of bulbous stock, but there will be some
fine azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs, cycla-
men and spiraea plants. The Easter lily
plants are far superior this year to
what they have ever been before.
Various Notes.
Judge W. J. Vesey and Miss Vesey
left April 8 for an extended trip to
New York city and other eastern points.
"W. J. & M. S. Vesey are advertising
their landscape department, with a fine
variety of shrubs and experienced land-
scape artists to do the work. This con-
cern had a special sale on cineraria
plants at 35 cents each last week.
Markey Bros., of Harrison street, are
showing a fine line of blooming plants
and are holding some splendid specimens
at their greenhouses for the Easter
• trade. Their azaleas are specially fine.
The Flick Floral Co. was busy with
funeral work last week.

THBIPS ON CARNATIONS.
Ed. American IHorist:
Please advise how to remedy the trouble affecting Carnation buds mailed
under separate cover. Kansas. F. W. F.
The Carnation buds are badly infested with Thrips. Upon opening up two
or three of the buds we found them alive with these pests. Thrips are one of the
worst' enemies that Carnation growers have to ^eal with, and the only way to
fight them successfully is to get after them by spraying the plants regularly
with the Nicotine preparations as soon as they are planted into the houses from
the field and keep at it continually until weather conditions will allow for fumi-
gation. For stubborn cases we spray with HAMMOND'S THRIP JUICE No. 2,
applied as per directions on the cans. This is an oily substance and will cause
the foliage of the plants to look a lighter green, but we have never found it to
harm the foliage at all. C. W. JOHNSON.
THRIP JUICE NO. 2 ON ROSES.
Hopeland Estate, Staatsburg, N. Y., Dec. 20, 1913.
Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y.
Dear Sirs: I have used your THRIP JX7I0E No. 2 on outdoor Roses, also
Roses indoors, as well as Bay Trees and other hard-wooded stock, and can say it
is a most efficient remedy for Scale, Mealy Bug and Thrips. Very truly yours,
(Signed) CHAS. HAEMAN, Supt.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 7, 1914.
Col. Wm. Sharp, for more than twenty-five years grower for Samuel Murray,
says: "I have found THRIP JUICE No. 2 very effective for White Scale on
Cattleyas and variegated Pineapples, Brown Scale on Ficus and Palms.
While several applications may be necessary, it is cheaper in the end than
Nicotine and far more effective.
Our farmer finds it a cure for the Curculio on Plums. Send along five gal-
lons as before." W. M.
Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 17, 1915.
Schmidt & Botley Co. endorse THRIP JUICE No. 2 for killing the White Fly.
They believe in prevention, and took steps at once to destroy it.
Onstav Schneider says he uses THRIP JUICE No. 2 regularly, more as a
preventive, and never had a finer lot of Chrysanthemums than last season. At one
time the plants were affected with rust, but one or two sprayings brought them
around. *
Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 14, 1914.
Robert Lockerbie, many years with the Robt. Craig Co., and now grower for
the Charlotte Cut Flower Co., says he has used all makes of Insecticides and is
now using THRIP JUICE No. 2 for Thrips on Chrysanthemums and Carnations.
The dilution of one to forty is proper. Sprayed on cloudy days, every week or ten
days, left on foliage for 48 hours, it never fails to kill the insect and the slight
discoloration on foliage is offset by its usefulness. -^ W, M.

TOLEDO.
The Market.
Cut flowers are profuse. Easter flow-
ers of all kinds can be had, but pros-
pects for the Easter season are good.
Eoses of all kinds are plentiful and of
good quality. Carnations are long-
stemmed and the flowers hold up well.
There are some choice sweet peas avail-
able at this time and the demand for
them is equal to the cut. Of bulbous
stock, lilies, daffodils and tulips are
good, having long stems and good
flowers. Lily plants will bloom nicely
for Easter and the various bulbous
plants also will be timed properly.
Rhododendrons and azaleas are good
this year. The buds are well formed
and blooms perfect. The usual demand
for funeral pieces is taking care of the
abundant supply of cut flowers.
Various Notes.
Among the many flower stores that
had their inception during the last
month I mention the Helmer Flower
Shop, in the heart of the business dis-
trict. It was established by Jack Hel-
mer, formerly of the Patten Flower
Store, and Miss Josephine Helmer, who
formerly was forelady of the Breit-
meyer store at Detroit.
.Joseph Gardner, for many years fore-
man at the greenhouses of Harry Heinl,
has opened a first-claas flower shop at
the corner of "Walnut and Bancroft
streets.
The Scottwood Greenhouses have
some choice rhododendrons and hydran-
geas for Easter. Mr. Magee, the man-
ager, is much pleased with his Easter
stock and predicts a good season.
Harry Heinl, of West Toledo, is cut-
ting some choice roses, among the bet-
ter grades being Ophelia, Richmond and
Killarney.
Miss Helen Patten was extraordi-
narily busy last week with orders for
funeral pieceq. She predicts a good
Easter season and feels confident that
business this year will almost triple
that of last year.
Schramm Bros, have added to their
delivery service a Studebaker car. The
increased business and the desire to
give the best service possible were the
motives for this recent acquisition,
their second delivery automobile.

Plant Bands
Square plant bands will soon be a
requirement where good plants are
wanted. Economy of space, time and
water are additional reasons for their
coming into favor. We offer an im-
provement in s^mare bands that saves
much time required to fold the ordi-
nary strips of paper heretofore offered.
Send for our free samples.
A little later we will offer a still
greater improvement in square folding

sent to all addresses that we now
have.

The Market.
From present indications there is go-
ing to be an abundance of stock for
Easter, and, judging from advance or-
ders, all dealers predict the heaviest
run of business they ever have had for
that date. While some think that the
Lenten season trade was a little off,
the majority are inclined to the belief
that it will surpass any previous one.
During the latter part of last week
everyone was rushed to the limit with
funeral work, which served to clean up
the glut on the market. Eoses move
well at $2 to $12 per hundred for the
general line. Ophelia and Bussell sell
at $5 to $16 per hundred. Carnations
are holding at about $3 per hundred.
Sweet peas are arriving in large quan-
tities and prices are dropping, 75 cents
per hundred being received for the
finest flowers, but many are sold as low
as 35 cents. Lilies are arriving in large
quantities, with a fair supply of short-
stemmed stock. The fancy kinds are
selling at $15 per hundred, while the
shorts go at much lower figures. Snap-
dragons, calendulas and tulips are
plentiful and bring good prices.
Various Notes.

The increasing popularity
of the Clay Hanging Basket,
and its especial fitness for use
on stone and brick porches,
has created a demand for one
made from clay which will
harmonize with this material, and at the same time be roomy and deep enough
to insure thrifty plant growth.
This basket is entirely new in
design, the light red terra cotta
blending with any porch color

if your Carnations are splitting to beat the band. Every flower counts, to
be sure, in these days of scarcity, but you have a simple and easy remedy if
you use the BAUR CARNATION CUP. If you are not using this clever device
Send for a Trial Outfit Today

No money need be paid in advance and you need not keep the outfit if you are not perfectly satis-
fied that it is the best thing in its line. No other device mends SPLIT CARNATIONS so quickly and easily,
without injuring the flower or impairing its keeping qualities. We have hundreds of testimonials like these:
"They are the best on the market. We have used them for five years."— Maumee
Greenhouse Co.
"These Clips are flne."-Crabb & Hunter Floral Co.
"A safe proposition to send on trial."— Bird Forrest.
"They are certainly fine, they work like magic."— I. Dunford.
Perhaps the best testimonial of all is the host of growers, large and small, who send us their orders re-
peatedly for C^ips and say very little about it to anyone. Can't we count you among our customers?
Remember, it costs you nothing if you are not satisfied.

MINNEAPOLIS.
Various Notes.
Theodore Wirth speaks in the highest
terms of the Philadelphia show. He
made special note of the hybrid per-
petual and hybrid tea roses and in-
tends to give a nuttiber of them trials
in the rose garden and in the various
parks in Minneapolis. This will add
another feature to our great parks.
Mr. Hayden, of the Florist SJiop,
says that trade is good, in spasms. He
is stocking some nice lines for the
Easter trade.
Thomas Lynes has been busy with
funeral work.
Sunday, April 2, was a real com-
mencement day for the seedsmen and
florists. The Minneapolis Journal pub-
lished four pages of horticultural mat-
ter of interest to all amateur gardeners.
Seedsmen, growers and florists had
large display advertisements. The motto
is: "If you are wise, you'll advertise,
to keep before the public's eyes."
Mr. Cargill is cutting some nice car-
nations. I hear he is going to reorgan-
ize his staff. The range is a good one
and capable of turning out quantities
of high-grade stock. ,
The growers all report good sales of
Easter stock. Azaleas are in great de-
mand, and the supply is short.
The Sunshine Florists have had
fine displays in their window. Mr.
A'^illas believes in doing all he can to,
attract attention to his stock.
Northrup, King & Co. are about to
commence on a $500,000 plant for their
seed business. The buildings will be
most modern and equipped with all the
best improvements. Trade in all de-
partments is on the increase and with
the development of a vast territory
Northr<ip, King & Co. are sure to have
a large share of the business for their
stock.
The Mazey Floral Co. is making good
displays of spring stock.
C. N. Euedlinger is busy -with land-
scape contracts and garden work.
H. F. Baker, of the Lake Harriet
Nurseries, reports heavy business in
the landscape department. The oflSce
staff has been enlarged and a heavy
season is in view.
The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses
have a fine stock of bedding plants.
Max Kaiser has the finest stock of
rambler and other roses for Easter in
the Twin Cities. F. E. B.

An Open
Letter
Believing we can render material assistance in our instructive campaign
in the upbuilding and maintaining of soil fertility, our company is; giv-
ing time and money to further the interests of the grower under glass.
With that in view, we have employed practical
greenhousemen in our research department, in
our laboratory department, and in the handling of
our correspondence pertaining to questions arising
on soil requirements and plant foods.
In this work we request the trade to take sufficient
interest to co-operate with us, and to coiTespond
with us on matters pertaining to their growing
products.
Our main object is to demonstrate the practicabil-
ity of making up soil fertility during the growing
season through the addition of fertilizers, or com-
mercial manures, as the season progresses, and
thereby increase the number of flowering crops as
well as the quality of the flowers.
In connection with this work, we are taking into consideration the uses of stable
manures and legumes, supplemented by commercial manures that carry nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, and the scientific use of a pure carbonate of lime to
meet the particular needs of greenhouse soils.
Last but not least, this company is supported by men who have had wide ex-
perience in your problems. They are at your service. Command them.

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Trade has been good during the last
two weeks. Stock is becoming more
plentiful and the market is holding up
well. The weather has been unseasona-
bly cold and we have had only two or
three spring days so far this spring.
However, this cold weather has made it
easy to manage the Easter plants. All
sorts of roses, including American
Beauties, are plentiful, and some first-
class stock is available. The market is
well supplied with carnations. Easter
lilies and callas are more than enough
for demands. Sweet peas are plentiful
and are finding a good market. Valley,
violets and orchids are not in demand.
Bulbous stock, such as tulips, jonquils
and hyacinths, is more than enough to
go around. There is an unlimited sup-
ply of blooming plants, such as azaleas,
rhododendrons, lilacs, rose bushes,
spiraeas, genistas and bulbous stock.
Various Notes.
John Eisner is busy on his farm in
the southeastern part of the city. He
has a gasoline-driven plow which he
says will do the work of three teams.
He expects to supply the town this
year with asters, gladioli, dahlias and
other outdoor stock.
The Pahud Floral Co. has a new
Stiidebaker delivery truck.
Peter • Weiland, of Newcastle, has
been sending in some fine sweet peas.
George Wiegand has moved to his
new residence on North Illinois street.
The A. Wiegand 's Sons Co. has its
usual fine line of blooming stock for the
Easter trade. This concern has pur-
chased about eight acres of ground near
Riverside park. This they expect to
use for outdoor stock. H. L. W.
St. Paul, Minn.— O. J. Olson, of Holm
& Olson, who underwent a serious op-
eration at St. Luke's hospital in this
city March 29, is getting along nicely
and hopes to be out early next week.
Beading, Pa. — A dozen members of
the Reading Florists' Association re-
cently went on another visiting trip.
This time their destination was Allen-
town, where they called on E. N. Kron-
inger, Ernest Ashley and J. F. Horn

You have an idea that "any old time" is good enough to build
and so put the matter off until some other day when you
think you'll have a better opportunity.
Now that way of doing things is a mistake, Mr. Greenhouseman.

HOLYOKE, MASS.
The monthly meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club was held April 4 at the F. D.
Keyes & Son establishment, Northamp-
ton. In spite of the disagreeable
weather, a large number of members
turned out. The topic of the evening
was Easter plants, which was handled
by Harold Keyes in a comprehensive
manner. A good discussion ensued.
Messrs. Thurston and Sinclair enter-
tained the members with descriptions
of the National Flower Show. Exhibits
were made by Keyes & Son of extra
good callas, a pink sport of Carnation
Enchantress and Primula obconica gi-
gantea. Butler & UUman showed Hy-
drangea Radiant and Sweet Pea Yar-
rawa. G. H. Sinclair showed Buxton's
Silver Pink snapdragon in splendid
form. Good plants of Nemesia strumosa
Suttoni were shown by H. E. Downer.
This is a charming annual which flow-
ers in a few weeks from the date of
sowing and should prove a useful pot
plant for the florist. H. E. D.
Meadvllle, Pa. — C. E. Betts has moved

Coetir d' Alene, Idaho. — The Donart

to the extent of $2,000, the blaze start-
ing in the boiler house of its heating
plant during the recent cold snap. Two
greenhouses were badly damaged, but
the company's business suffered little
interruption. The damage was repaired
at once.

PROVIDENCE, E. I.
The Market.
A few -warm days last week sent
prices down like an avalanche, potted
plants and cut flowers coming into the
market in great quantities. This was
especially true in the case of bulbous
stock, sweet peas and violets.
Various Notes.
A systematic plan for the beautifica-
tion of Providence and vicinity has
been inaugurated by the Providence
Chamber of Commerce, which has made
arrangements to furnish at cost plants
of Dorothy Perkins roses and 'Van
Houttei spiraeas. Orders for nearly 50,-
000 of these have been received.
At the annual installation of officers
of the Providence Elks, Theodore R.
Peterson, of the Hogg Greenhouses, was
inducted as trustee for two years.
James Hcking, treasurer of the
Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode
Island, is recovering from his recent
severe attack of the grip.
E. D. Tucker is preparing to remodel
his houses and erect one or more new
ones at his range at Saylesville.
Joseph Koppelman & Co. are remov-
ing their Asparagus plumosus plants
from their houses at Oaklawn to the
new houses off Pawtucket avenue, East
Providence. W. H. M.
Bugby, N. D.— According to N. P.
iLindberg, of the Rugby Greenhouses,
business in northern North Dakota has
been exceptionally good during the
winter, despite the several snow block-
ades on all forms of transportation.

SELF-LOCKING
|HE ADVANCE Ventilating Apparatus with
a worm and gear will securely hold your sash in
any position. No danger of sash falling and
breaking glass. No danger when operating the
machine. This machine will meet any require-
ments you may have, and the operation will be easy. All
up-to-date florists consider the ADVANCE a standard,
due to the far-advanced ideas and designs. It is no use to
try to find a machine that is better or equal to this, for no
concern has, as yet, been able to market one.
If you are needing a sash-operator at the present time, or
will need one a little later, you will find it to your interest
to let us figure with you. You know what proper ventila-
tion means in your houses, and the only machine that in-
sures that is the ADVANCE. We do not have a single
customer that is not satisfied, and we have customers every-
where, too. Just ask anyone using our material how
he likes it. Our customers are our largest and best
advertisements, and we see no reason why you should not
get in touch with us and do away with one of your worst
troubles— ventilation.
Also, we would like for you to see our line of GREEN-
HOUSE FITTINGS, such as Split Gutter Brackets,
Column Brackets (set-screw type). Split Tees and
many other useful fittings you need from time to time. All fittings are very easily
erected and are so designed that they will stay where you want them and last forever.
We are certain that you will readily be convinced of the many superior merits of our
material if you once place an order with us.
We give all inquiries special, prompt attention and will be glad to take up any proposi-
tion you may have. Being able to ship orders the'^same day they are received is only
another one of the many advantages you get when deahng with us.
Just drop us a card and ask for one of our Catalogues U.
It will be sent free. Don't wait— DO IT NOW.

The Market.
Business in the market is fair, but
the supply of stock continues large and
buyers practically dictate prices; that
is, within reasonable limits. Boses are
in heavy supply, which includes all the
seasonable varieties and American
Beauties. Carnations, too, are plentiful.
The supply of Easter lilies is again
fully sufficient for present needs. Bulb-
ous stock is offered in limited quantities.
Sweet peas are in heavy supply and it
is impossible to clean up all of them.
Valley and orchids have a rather slow
market. Other offerings include callas,
lilac, snapdragon, mignonette, violets,
marguerites and forget-me-nots. Greens
are plentiful.
Club Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Cincin-
nati Florists' Society was held April
10 at Hotel Gibson. R. Witterstaetter
acted as chairman. Mr. "Witterstaetter
gave an interesting talk on the Phila-
delphia show, his talk including every
phase of the show, for which he had
nothing but praise.
Various Notes.
C. E. Critchell has been having some
fine, well-grown potted roses from J. A.
Peterson & Sons.
The H. Weber & Sons Co., of Oakland,
Md., have been shipping some excellent
Formosa lilies to E. G. Gillett.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
"This is truly a season of perplexi-
ties," remarked J. D. Eisele, vice-
president of Henry A. Dreer, Inc.,
Philadelphia, in speaking of the
vagaries of the weather. ' ' Here is a
carload of palms, for instance, await-
ing shipment to a distant point, and
outdoors we see perennials bursting
into bloom, induced by a few days of
sunshine. Our fear now is that it will
require heroic measures to meet the
situation, and, with the problem of
short help, the wisdom of a Solomon
will hardly pull us through. It is al-
most impossible to secure outside help.
The wages of our steady employees
have been increased to meet the ad-
vanced cost of living and all are work-
ing like beavers.
"Easter looms ahead, with business
more than sufficient to atone for the
setback during the month of March,"
continued Mr. Eisele, "and there ia
an abundance of stock equal to the
heaviest demands. All that is needed
is a steady, gradual opening, when all
will be well.
"The direct returns from the Na-
tional Flower Show are "satisfactory
and our efforts put forth in connection
therewith were well repaid. The en-
thusiasm of the admiring crowd was
manned only by two incidents: One,,
when a zealous amateur stooped too low
to inspect the aquatics and plunged
headlong into the tank. On being res-
cued by an attendant, he exclaimed
he 'had fallen among the lilies fair.'
Another time was when two ladies were
pushed into the water by the crowd
that thronged the garden. They were
highly indignant when rescued. ' '
Apropos of water lilies, I learn that
the secret has been discovered how to
keep the blooms open night and day.
This information will be given the pub-
lic in due season.
Eoses being foremost in the mind's
eye just*n,ow, it was interesting to see
the large number hdd in reserve in the
Dreer houses, and so staged that the
individual beauty could be more easily-
observed. There are many that stand
out preeminent, among them a glorious
yellow, by name Duchess of Wellington.
Many advances have been made since
my last visit to the Dreer establish-
ment. A storage building, already
found to be too small for the purpose*
intended, has been constructed. Half
a million gladiolus bulbs are among
the items stored. A new method of
propagating the large quantity of
dahlias is by potting the cuttings direct
from the tuber, instead of via the sand
route, as formerly. The percentage of
loss is almost nothing, and within a
couple of weeks fine, thrifty plants are
made; at least, this is the case as seen
here. Every facility is given to aid the
progress of the business. W. M.
Newport, K. I. — The preliminary
schedules for the midsummer exhibi-
tion of the Newport Garden Club and
Newport Horticultural Society, to be
held August 10 to 12, have been is-
sued and entries in the classes for
plants, fruits, roses and other cut flow-
ers will be received until noon, August
7, by Secretary Fred. P. Weber, of
Melville, R. I. As usual, there is a
wide range of prizes.

SYSTEM IN THE
i^ CEMETERY WORK
Experience teaches that to him who waits all things come in a rush,
especially the cemetery and lawti work of the vernal season. In this ar-
ticle a man who knows tells how to get the orders early, how to fill them
handily, and how to get other orders at other seasons.
:^m.
VERYTHING today tends
toward specialization and
it i» the specialist -who
does things expertly well.
A specialist simply is a
man who has worked
along a certain line until
he has mastered every
phase of it. The spe-
cialist is the efl&cient man
and in the last analysis the one who
works with the least friction. The
routine he follows and the directions
he gives produce system among men.
System becomes helpful public service,
which is the spirit of modern business.
When properly applied and carefully
guided it becomes routine and is far
easier to follow than the
haphazard and slipshod way
of doing the daily work.
In the following para-
graphs I will endeavor to
tell how system can be
applied to cemetery work
and other gardening opera-
tions, whether one fills
vases in Portland, Me., or
Portland, Ore. For our
company it has developed
our sales and relieved us
of considerable of the hard
toil this particular part of
the business inevitably en-
tails.
Two Systems.
It is essential that sys-
tem be created for two
ends of the business: Sys-
tem for getting the work
and system for handling
the work after one gets it;
system in one is just as es-
sential as system in the
other. True, you may feel
that you always get all the
cemetery work you can
handle and you may not be
interested in a system for
obtaining additional orders
until you first have created
a system for filling them.
We experienced the same
situation until we applied
the system we now use.
In the city of Buflfalo
there are about fifteen fio-
rists who do cemetery work
at the principal cemetery
of which I speak. Mistakes
and confusion crept in and
complaints naturally came
to the superintendent. As
the famous Elbert Hubbard
once said, "When things
By ROBERT A. SCOTT.
get too bad they correct themselves,"
and sure enough that was the way it
worked out in this case. The cemetery
association adopted a rule that no
part of a vase or any other article
could be removed from the grounds
without the signed order of the person
desiring the change. So the florists
all had blanks printed to comply with
the rule.
System Leads to Growth.
Herein developed a part of our sys-
tem. We conceived the idea of a
postal-card which would be signed and
It's Time to Plan Cenietery and Lawn Vaie Work.
by means of which we could at the
same time solicit the business at a
small expense. This was the begin-
ning of what I have termed system
in cemetery work. This, remember,
was actually forced on us, but, as we
saw the light, conditions developed so
that we were able to grasp them and
adapt them so that we began to look
for mistakes in order to bring the work
as near perfection as possible.
I know that a vast number of flo-
rists Will say: "That may be all right
for his business, but for the orders I
have and the time I get, we could not
afford to do it." However few you
have, it applies. I know that, because
ours has grown from a few to a great
many. To give you some
basis for my assertions, I
will tell you that we use
20,000 geraniums and 4,000
vincas, along with hundreds
of other plants, to com-
plete our work for Me-
morial day."
Now Is the Time.
In a foregoing statement
I said I would apply the
system to the creation of
sales as well as the execu-
tion of work. For the sake
of clearness I will link the
two as I go along. Me-
morial day being the larg-
est business day, I will
start there. In our particu-
lar section, our vases are
placed for May 30, but I
assume that in some parts
of the country the vases are
placed considerably earlier,
which, of course, would
change the mailing date of
advertising matter for the
spring business. The fol-
lowing is our system:
In the first place, we
keep an accurate list of all
cemetery customers, with
name, address, location of
lot at cemetery and work
done in previous seasons.
As I proceed you will see
the advantage of this
method.
About May 1, we mail a
return postal to all cus-
tomers notifying them of
the approaching season, also
asking them for their
valued order. The at-
tached return card is con-
venient for them to sign

Early Orders.
We get over sixty per cent of the
orders in ten days and our advance
work can be done immediaiely. By
advance work I mean the painting and
getting the tops of the vases into our
greenhouses.
By May 18, we have received eighty
per cent of the orders, which is a big
advantage. Weather permitting, we
start taking the filled vases to the
lawn about May 22. The wagon or ma-

To Sell Cut Flowers.
For Memorial day there should be
large sales of cemetery bouquets. Not
content with what came to us, we
mailed cards to our cemetery list. We
told in a few words that we would be
equipped with a large assortment of
flowers suitable for cemetery use. With
your cemetery list, this is not a hard
thing to do and it is inexpensive, be-
cause every name on the list is a live
prospect. In our case the response was
time. It may seem to you that we
overdo the cards when I say that again
we mail reply postals asking for orders
for boxwood wreaths. The cards are
mailed about December 15 and Ij^st
season was the largest we ever had.
Cards followed some who had traveled
south and I have in mind one man
who wrote from Pinehurst, N. C, and
ordered $27 worth of work on the
strength of one postal reminder. We
adopted boxwood wreaths because wjth
them the work can be done at the least
expense and with the largest returns

pots and brings in any others in that
particular section which are to be
filled. Thus we go on until the last one
is done. We have a number of vases
of a character that makes it impossi-
ble that they be moved, so a wagon
and men have to complete this work at
the cemetery. We find this method
much more expensive than taking the
top of the vase to the potting shed.
In my estimation, the greatest advan-
tage of the postal-card system is that
the orders are received early and thus
enable one to work to advantage in
certain sections of the lawn. It is far
cheaper to collect ten vases from one
even better than we had e3Cj)ected..

boxwood wreaths.

Last, but not least, we have pansy
time. Owing to the uncertainty of the
pansy season, we hold the pansy cards
until we can get the plants. We found
that other people are just like we are.

soon as it is ordered — it must be done

if sent at the right time the response
is immediate and people expect the
vases filled as promptly. Pansies, in
our section, usually last until June 10.
We are always pleased to get the pansy
order; first, for the order itself, and,
second, it is one less vase to fill in
the rush just before Memorial day.
This completes our year's work. You
can imagine that at the end of the
year those on our list are mighty well
iiware of the name of the florist who
can do cemetery work. This is where
the publicity part comes in — keeping
your name before your customers. It
is mighty good advertising, the best
you can get.
Records Essential.
In conclusion, I want to impress on
you the importance of proper records,
i consider it so important that I want
to tell you in detail: First, get a jour-
nal that is indexed; then, as you re-
ceive orders, enter the name, address,
section, lot number, the filling to be
done, and the amount of the sale. This
should be done without exception. In
this way, your records are all intact.
The old system of having loose sheets
is apt to cause mistakes. The clean-
cut way of the journal enables you to
respond in more ways than one.
In closing, dear reader, I want to
say that you should not infer that we
consider this spring business one sweet
dream. We feel about it somewhat
as Sherman did about war, but ceme-
tery work does not cause us the worry
it did at one time. We have mastered
the situation to a large extent and
knowing one's condition enables us to
accomplish what we once thought was
impossible. Kobert A. Scott.
A CONTROVERSY ON CUT PRICES.
The following conversation took
place between a retailer who. wanted
to buy stock for a special sale and a
grower who wanted to sell his stock,
but not at a price that would permit
exploiting the flowers at prices det-
rimental to the business:
Retailer — ' ' I will give you 75 cents
per hundred." -
Grower — ' ' Nothing doing! ' '
Retailer — "I want to hold a special
sale, but if I give you 25 cents per
bunch and sell at 35 cents there will
not be much profit for me."
Grower — "Well, stick another nickel
OIL"
Betailer— " Can 't do it— I want to
advertise them at a cut-rate price."
Grower — "Well, pay for your own
advertising then. Don't ask me to."
Retailer — ' ' Sure, but I want to make
something out of it and have a ban-
ner sale as well."
Grower — ' ' If I let you have the stock
at 75 cents instead of $1 every buyer
in the city would know of it, and I
would be compelled to sell at 75 cents
"ght along, and the price would not
recover. "
Retailer— " Nix, it's only for this
sale."
Grower — ' ' Say, listen, have you ever
thought of this? I sell you at a cut
price. In your sale you cut your com-
petitor's price. He then cuts your
price. But the public do not buy any
more flowers! We lose! It depreciates
■values, lowers the tone of the business
and does no good at all. It is a case
of diamond cut diamond. To cut your
price you cut your profits, and your

NEW ORLEANS SPRING SHOW.
The Best Ever Held.
The annual charity show of the New
Orleans Horticultural Society, given
this year in the Athenaeum, New Or-
leans, April 6 to 9, easily surpassed any
of its predecessors. The attendance
was larger, the proceeds greater and
the exhibits more numerous and of
greater Variety than those of any other
show given in the winter capital of
the southland. This year the Louisiana
Anti-Tuberculosis League was the bene-
ficiary. . Henry Scheuermann, president
of the society; C. B. Panter, secretary,
and P. A. Chopin, chairman of the
general committee in charge of the
show, expressed themselves as being
more than satisfied with the successful
consummation of the exhibition.
The Prize-Winners.
The judges appointed to pass on the
exhibits were Richard Eichling, E.
Valdejo and George Thomas. Of
thirty-four exhibits, a large American
flag formed by flowering and foliage
plants, by Henry Kraak, of New Or-
leans, was considered the best design
in the hall, and this exhibitor was
awarded the cup donated hy H. A.
Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia. The
Gentilly Nursery Co. won the second
plant prize, a vase given by H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co., of Philadelphia. The
third award, the prize of the A. L.
Randall Co., Chicago, went to P. A.
Chopin. Charles Eble, of New Orleans,
was a large exhibitor of plants and
captured a prize donated by the Sefton
Mfg. Co., of Chicago. Abele Bros., of
New Orleans, had a good display of
flowering and foliage plants, as shown
in the accompanying illustration, for
which they were awarded the Shaw
Fern Co. prize. A. Verlinde &
M. Vander Eecken exhibited ficus and
araucaria and were given the prize of
Zech & Mann, of Chicago. Claude Ory,
H. Doescher and Max Scheinuk also
were prize-winners. A. Dameran,
H. Mische and the Metairie Ridge
Nursery Co. had plant exhibits.
C. W. Eichling, of the Avenue Floral
Co., was the principal exhibitor in the
cut flower classes. He had a large
bride's party exhibit and won a cup
donated by J. A. Budlong, of Chicago.
Henry Scheuermann captured the
M, Rice Co. prize and the Steckler Seed
Co. was given the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co. prize for a comprehensive
display of seeds, garden furniture and
implements. P. A. Chopin, Charles
Eble and F. J. Reyes & Co. also were
winners in the cut flower section.
A number of the newer carnations
were exhibited by the J. D. Thompson
Carnation Co., of Joliet, 111., and J. A.
Budlong, of Chicago, sent American
Beautv and Russell roses.
HELIOTROPES NOT FLOWERING.
I have some heliotrope plants that
seem to be in good health but give no
sign of bloom. They are growing in a
house in a temperature of 60 degrees at
night and SO degrees during the day.
The house is kept moist, as lilies are
being grown in it. Last year the plants
acted in the same way, being healthy
and carrying three or four shoots and
good foliage, but no blooms. Aftet
they were planted in the field tbey were
a mass of bloom all summer. These
plants bloomed without any trouble in
the place where they originally came
from. I have tried having them pot-
bound, giving them more room and run-
ning some in a house with geraniums,
but without success. The soil is from
a bench in which mums were grown,
with bone meal added. Geraniums do
well in it. E. L. J. — Mass.
Perhaps you are running your plants
too shaded. Give them full sun and
a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees at
night, an abundant water supply, a good
soil and some liquid manure when well
potbound, and they should flower freely.
Of course, you must discontinue pinch-
ing a few weeks before you want them
in flower. C. W.

DAHLIAS IN TUB SFBINaTIME.
Diyidlng the Clumps.
For years I have devoted my whole
time and energies to growing and im-
proving dahlias. Twenty-one years
ago I commenced growing them as an
amateur, beginning with sixty varie-
ties. Two years later I took up the
dahlia business as a professional. Last
spring I planted over 4,000,000 dahlia
plants, nearly thirty-five acres. Dahlias
are my hobby and my business com-
bined.
To succeed with dahlias it is essen-
tial to have good roots to plant; there-
fore the separating of the clumps in
the spring is an important matter,
upon which future success depends. If
the clumps ai;e improperly separated,
leaving the tubers without a crown
from which to sprout, they will not
grow.
Separate the clump, using a sharp
knife and cutting each root separately,
first dividing the clump in halves, then
cutting to one root or tuber. In di-
viding, great care should be taken to
leave a portion of the crown or orig-
inal stalk on each root; it is on this
crown that the sprout starts, and if
the root has no crown, it is worthless.
During the months of March and April
the clumps send forth sprouts, gener-
ally one for each root on the clump.
These aid in dividing properly.
Wben and Where to Plant.
The time of planting dahlias varies
according to the locality, depending on
whether the ground is sheltered or
open; also on the earliness or lateness
of the season, and on the time when
the general crop of flowers is desired.
Dahlias can be planted any time after
danger of frost is over, and under or-
dinary conditions will bloom in from
six to eight weeks after they have been
planted. It is always best to wait un-
til the ground becomes thoroughly
warmed.
The dahlia is not as particular as
most of our flowers, and will succeed
under a great many adverse conditions.
There are, however, certain locations
where dahlias seem to outdo them-
selves. An open, sunny location seems
to favor them at all times. They do
well on high or low land, on hillsides
or perfectly level land, giving good re-
sults in each location.
I find dahlias are particularly
adapted for seashore use, where they
are favorably affected by the moisture,
and especially by the heavy dews which
collect during the nights. I also find
that many varieties do well under par-
tial shade, producing fully as good
flowers as they do in the hot sun, es-
pecially for exhibition purposes.
Dahlias will grow equally well in-
any kind of soil. The principal re-
quirement is cultivation. I have sand,
gravel, heavy and light loam, low land
and hills, and I find little difference
as far as the number of flowers is
concerned. The only difference is that
in sand and gravel they form short,
sturdy, compact plants, while in heavy
loam and low Iftnd they grow tall and
rank, blooming about a week later
than those planted at the same time
in a sandy soil.
Culture and Feeding.
The soil should be thoroughly culti-
vated. It should be plowed or spaded
eight to ten inches deep, well pulver-
ized and thoroughly worked over, thus
affording an opportunity for rapid ex-
pansion, and making an easy path for
the tiny rootlets.
The fertilization of the soil is im-
portant. You can use horse, cow,
sheep or hen manure, or chemicals.
You can use any commercial fertilizer
rich in nitrogen, potash, ammonia and
phosphoric acid. Fish and potash,
acid phosphate in the form of bone
flour, or sulphate of potash, are also
effective.
Every other fall I give my land a
top-dressing of stable manure, plowing
it under, and alternate with lime, us-
ing this as a top-dressing. The manure
restores the necessary properties and
makes the soil light and mellow, while
lime has the same tendency and also
keeps the soil sweet. When planting
in the spring I use commercial fertil-
izers exclusively, using a complete po-
tato fertilizer and ground bone meal,
in equal proportions. Every fourth or
fifth year I make a fall planting of
winter rye; I turn this under in the
spring, planting the bulbs with com-
mercial fertilizers.
An application of manure, either in
liquid or ordinary form, several times
throughout the growing season proves
beneficial, furnishing new material for
the growing plants and insuring the
best results.
PolAts About Planting.
Plant the roots in hills or drills, lay-
ing them flat, six inches deep. Do not
stand the tuber on end. If you stand
the tuber on end, having the sprout
near the top of the ground, all the new
tubers which form will grow near the
top of the ground. Consequently,
when you have a dry spell the plants
will become stunted; whereas, if the
tubers are planted flat and six inches
deep, the roots receive sufficient mois-
ture to keep them growing even in the
driest season. In planting with manure,
cover the manure an inch or so be-
fore planting the roots. The fertil-
izer should be thoroughly worked into
the soil. Either fertilizer or manure
will burn the sprout, if not covered
with soil.
By planting the root first, then cov-
ering it to the depth of an inch or
so with soil, and lastly applying the
fertilizer or manure, the plant receives
the entire benefit of the dressing. The
dressing is above the tuber and every
rain carries the food down to the roots;
whereas, if the dressing is below the
tuber, each rain takes the dressing
farther away from the plant.
Remember, then, to plant the tuber
six inches deep, laying it flat, with the
sprout or eye facing upward; cover
with an inch or so of soil, apply the
dressing, and cover in level.
Cultivation is the principal require-
ment of the dahlia. Keep the soil well
cultivated and free from weeds; never
allow the soil to crust. Cultivate deep-
ly at first, and continue once a week
until the plants commence to flower.
After they commence to bloom, do not
cultivate, as then ^s the time the new
roots are forming and you are liable
to cut off the new tubers, weakening
the growth of the plant. Do not fail
to stir the soil after every rain, keep-
ing the soil from forming a crust on
the surface and conserving the mois-
ture in the soil, thus avoiding the ne-
cessity of watering.

Bedding Oeraniums.
This is the latest period for potting
bedding geraniums in 4-inch pots. Use
a fairly stiff loam, to which add a lit-
tle old manure and fine bone. Do not
use any sand or leaf-mold, and be sure
to pot the plants firmly. Lioosely pot-
ted stock in light soil will soon show
a sickly, starved appearance. You can
help the starved plants by feeding
them with weak liquid manure, or giv-
ing each pot a sprinkling of fine bone
or Clay's fertilizer. Are your plants
getting crowded in the benches! If
so, you can easily relieve them by us-
ing coldframes. Place a little warm
horse manure in the frames and partly
plunge the pots. They will grow bet-
ter and stockier there than in the
greenhouses; so will ageratums, fuchsias
and many other bedding plants. For
coleus, alternantheras, achyranthes,
etc., a stronger hotbed is the ideal place
and growth is much faster there than
in a greenhouse. It is possible to damp
down the plants and bottle a brisk heat
each afternoon, which cannot well be
done in greenhouses where a variety
of stock is grown.
Poinsettias.
It is time to overhaul, pot or box the
old poinsettia stools. Prune the plants
back a little and start them in a warm,
moist house. Water them lightly, but

spray freely until they start to grow.
Move them to cooler quarters as they
start to grow, in order to get nice,
stocky cuttinc^. These early cuttings
will be ideal for bench culture or grow-
ing along in 6-inch or 7-inch pots if
you want some big bracts, but if you
only want short stock in pans for
Christmas you need not start the poin-
settias for a month or six weeks yet.
Primulas.
Primula obconica and P. Sinensis are,
or should be, in flats of soil now, and
ready, or nearly so, for 2%-inch pots.
Use a soil for the first potting contain-
ing one-half leaf-mold, a little old ma-
nure and sand and the remainder loam,
and do not pot too firmly. The
plants will do well in coldframes in
the summer. For some time yet, how-
every shoot has to be tied up to its full
length to prevent breakage.
Caladlum Esculentmn.
Caladium esculentum is a rapid
grower and for that reason should not
be started early. Place the plants in
flats or on a warm bench where there
is some bottom heat, in a light, sandy
soil. Pot them as soon as growth
starts, which will be within a com-
paratively few days. It is a mistake
to start these caladiums, or elephant's
ears, as they are commonly called, ear-
lier than this date, as they make too
much growth and starve in the pots.
Bambler Hoses for 1917.
The best ramblers for early forcing
are those grown in pots through the
summer. Now is the time to try some
good field plants. Pot them firmly, cut
raised back and front about one foot,
to permit plenty of ventilation, and
should have a coat of whitewash or
thin paint. Lath shades laid on the
sashes or a cotton awning will keep the
frames considerably cooled. These
should be removed at sundown, to give
the cuttings the benefit of the night
dews. The cuttings will require a good
watering when first inserted, and there-
after should be kept rather on the moist
side. All the necessary watering should
be done after the shade has been re-
moved at sundown. L.
OTASSA FOB EASTEB.
The French hydrangeas have come to
the front as Easter plants in the last
few years, but that the old, favorite
variety, Otaksa, still is in the running
Hydrangea Otaksa as Grown for Easter at the EstabHsbment of J. \7. Dudley & Sons, Parkersburg, W. Va.
ever, they need a bench in an ordinary
greenhouse, and see that they are shad-
ed from the direct rays of the sun. It
is much too early to sow P. malacoides.
July 1 is a suitable time to start this
beautiful primula, as it is a rapid
grower.
Coleus and Altemantheras.
If you do not carry over any stock
plants of coleus and altemantheras,
now is the time to buy rooted cuttings
from some reputable concern. They
are inexpensive and it is better for the
average small country florist to buy
them now than try to carry over a lot
of stock in an ordinary greenhouse. If
you have not a warm house for them,
prepare a good hotbed and plunge the
pots. They will grow in a way that
will surprise you. On cold nights they
need a mat or board shutter protection.
Canterbury Bells.
The early batch of Canterbury bells
now is in bloom. What noble pot
plants they are! Even finer plants will
be at their best a month from now.
Growers of these plants will find it
necessary to stake each shoot sepa-
rately in order to prevent breakages
and get really shapely plants. Grow
them in a cool, airy greenhouse. They
do not like forcing. If you can get a
batch in for Memorial day, the cut flow-
ers will prove splendid for bunching.
Now is the proper time to sow seed in
order to have really strong plants to
pot next fall. The single varieties in
pink, white, mauve and dark blue make
the best pot plants. The calycanthema,
or hose in hose type, is pretty, but
them down nearly to the tops of the
pots, place them in a cool house and
in two or three weeks many eyes will
start, more than you will need. Re-
duce these to from four to six to a
plant. Give them more heat as growth
advances, in a bright, sunny house free
of drafts. Drafts will cause mildew.
Keep the shoots securely tied up and
hold the plants indoors for a couple
of months, then plunge outdoors and
tie the shoots securely to stakes or a
temporary fence, in order to give them
full sun. These canes will ripen much
earlier than those on stock planted out-
doors.
If you do not want ramblers for early
forcing, this is the time to buy what
stock you need. Cut thfem down close
to the ground when planted, and in
other respects treat them the same as
suggested for pot-grown plants. This
stock can be dug up and potted in the
fall and will make good stock for next
Easter flowering.
MUMS IN THE SOUTH.
The month of April is a good time
in the south to start propagating the
young chrysanthemum plants. The cut-
tings are best rooted in frames. The
frames should be rather deep, in order
to protect the cuttings as much as pos-
sible from drafts. For propagating
material there is nothing better than
charcoal dust, although a mixture of
half sand and half charcoal dust also
is good. To get the best results there
are two points to be carefully observed,
the shading and the watering of the
cuttings.
The sashes on the frames should be
is shown by the accompanying illus-
tration. It shows one of three houses
of this plant flowered this Easter at
the establishment of J. W. Dudley &
Sons, Parkersburg, W. Va.
BUOHTEO LILY BUDS.
Can you tell me what is the trouble
with my giganteum lilies? They are
like the one enclosed. I have used to-
bacco for fumigating and have sprayed
with nicotine extract, at the rate of
about one teaspoonful to three gallons
of water. Did I use it too strong?
This is the first time I have had trouble
with giganteums and I should like to
know the cause. V. H. T. — Ky.
The tobacco fumigation and spraying
at the strength named should not be in
any way responsible for the buds of
your lilies blighting in this way. Have
you been planning to hold these plants
for Easter and, seeing that they were
somewhat too early, have you dropped
the temperature sharply to retard the
plants? If, for instance, your plants
have been growing in a temperature of
65 degrees at night and you moved
them to a house 20 degrees colder, the
probabilities are that many buds will
never open at all. It is quite safe to
take plants with two or three open
flowers and move them to even a cool
cellar, but it would not do to place
plants with buds one-half or one-fourth
developed in so cool a storehouse. If
these were cold storage bulbs, it is pos-
sible that they were frozen too much
while in cold storage. This would not
destroy the actual growths, but nearly
all flowers would come blasted.

AFFEABS TO BE YELLOWS.
Can you tell ua what is the trouble
with the enclosed carnation leaves? As
you can see, they are yellow and
streaked. Just a few plants in each
bench show the disease, in various de-
grees. Some of the plants look as
healthy as ever. A few of the young
plants are becoming affected in the
same way. These are in 2%-inch pots
and are well rooted, but not potbound.
The soil on the benches contains a fair
proportion of barnyard manure and
ground bone, well mixed before we put
the soil in the houses. Since then we
have put on small quantities of cattle
manure, a light application of lime and
two small applications of wood ashes.
Last week we gave an application of
soot from the boiler flues and the
plants seemed to assume a greener color
after that. About March 1 we used a
commercial fertilizer, containing bone,
blood and potash, at the rate of a 2-inch
potful to a row across a 4%-foot bench.
Was that too heavy a dosef Would a
spraying with Bordeaux mixture be of
any benefit? S. B.— N. Y.
The specimens submitted failed to
disclose anything besides a case of yel-
lows. I could perhaps be more positive
if I had a whole plant for inspection.
Your treatment of the blooming stock
does not seem wrong. It is too late, of
course, to suggest selecting the cut-
tings, as the propagating season is near
its close, but I would suggest that you
separate the young plants, selecting
those which are absolutely clean, and
grow them along for future propagat-
ing. Those which are slightly affected
will probably give you fair returns next
season, but it would be unwise to
propagate from them. Spraying with
Bordeaux will, of course, do no harm
and it might be beneficial, if there is
anv fungous disease on them.

THE USE OF SHEEF MAliUBE.
Will you be so kind as to let me
know which is the better way to use
pulverized sheep manure — dry or in
water? If in water, how much per bar-
rel? If dry, what quantity for a speci-
fied bench space? I should like to use
it both for carnations and for pot
plants. My carnations are strong and
healthy and are producing good, big
flowers. Is it advisable to use the
manure every month at this time of the
year, to keep the plants strong and the
flowers large? I formerly used cow
manure, as I had a good supply of it,
but I am not familiar with the use of
sheep manure. L. V. — Kan.
Sheep manure can be used in either
liquid or dry form. We prefer to use
it in the dry state, as it is then more
easily applied and, as far as we have
been' able to observe, is just as effec-
tive, though perhaps not quite so quick
in action. We sprinkle a small hand-
ful, about a 2V^-inch potful, between
the rows of plants, halfway across a
5-foot bench. Put it on when the soil
is tolerably moist and let it lie a day
before watering again. By that time
it will have absorbed enough moisture
to prevent it from washing away. You
can apply it once each month or six
weeks from this time on, but watch
your blooms, so they will not become
soft. At the first sign of softness, stop
the use of the sheep manure.
To use it in liquid form, tie about
a peck of the manure in a burlap bag
and hang it in a 50-gallon barrel of
water. After the liquid has stood a
couple of days, you can use it. The
liquid can be applied once each week
or ten days, according to the weather
and the condition of the plants.

amination will reveal which is the
cause. There are some spots w^hich
have every appearance of the common
leaf -spot, while there are large blotches
which appear to be due to scald, such
as is produced by arsenic. If it is
leaf-spot, your remedy will be Bor-
deaux mixture, applied once each week
until planting-out time. Plants that
are as badly affected as those sent in,
however, are not fit for anything,

MOBE ON BESTING CATTLEYAS.
In The Review of February 10, on
page 18, E. A. E., of Illinois, inquired
how long cattleyas should be rested
after flowering, and C. W. replied that
they should be rested for a couple of
months, or, to be more exact, two
months. As an old collector of orchids
and the finder of C. Trianae Schroederee,
perhaps I may be allowed to ' ' butt in. ' '
C. Trianse flowers at the beginning of
the dry season and, consequently, needs
a long rest afterwards. C. Mossiae, how-
ever, flowers during the first rains and
starts to grow immediately. It conse-
quently takes its rest before flowering.
C. gigas and C. aurea flower during the
middle of the wet season and do not
begin their rest until six weeks or two
months later. Dowiana grows where the
rainfall is indeterminate and, therefore,
needs no rest at all, or only a partial
one. You will be surprised to hear that
I found my first Schroedera' out on
Christmas day. In its habitat its season
of flowering is .January and February,
and the rains begin about the latter
part of March. As far as my observa-
tions go, all cattleyas make their
sheaths during the season of heaviest
rainfall, and the cup formed by the ex-
panding leaf is always full of water.
If, therefore, your growths damp off
when there is water in them, it follows
that your conditions are wrong. Nature
makes no mistakes; we are apt to do s».

weather, the days are lengthening
rapidly and on clear days the sun's
ray-s are strong. It is not a good policy
to shade any more than is absolutely
necessary on such tough-leaved subjects
as cattleyas and Iselias. In fact, where
these are being grown in an old house
with heavy wooden rafters, they need
only light shading even in summer,
provided they have plenty of ventila-
tion, a thing absolutely necessary on
all possible occasions for the successful
cultivation of cattleyas. Let the shad-
ing be light as yet. Kerosene and
white lead, if made quite thin, can be
spread on the roof with a force pump,
or, where the houses are small and a
neater appearance is wanted, a white-
wash brush on a long handle may be
used. Practically all orchids will be
benefited by a light shade from early
April on. During dark weather this is
a disadvantage, but wooden roller
shades are too expensive for the aver-
age commercial grower.
Cattleya Triause.
Most of the plants of Cattleya
Trianse have now finished blooming,
and necessary repotting or basketing
should be done as soon as possible.
Large plants which hang over the sides
of their receptacles will be better if
carefully divided. Medium to small
plants are, on the whole, preferable to
large specimens. Always drain effi-
ciently and pot firmly, using fern fiber
of a somewhat coarser texture than
that used for such orchids as odonto-
glossums, nliltonias and oncidiums.
Cattleya Schroederse.
Cattleya Schroederse follows C.
Trianae and has been or is at its best.
Its pale color does not seem to be
liked so well in the markets as C.
labiata, Trianee or Mossise, but no other
variety of any size can be flowered at
this' season, unless it be one of certain
hybrids, which are far beyond the limit
of the average purse. "While some C.
Schroederse have sepals and petals
netrif pure wMte, an^ while a percent-
age of perfectly white flovirers will
appear in newly imported stock there
are quite a few with a good deal of
color in them, so much so that they are
sometimes mistaken for C. Trianse. C.
Schroederae succeeds well at the warm
end of the cattleya house.
Cattleya Moasiae.
A few Cattleya Mossite, the late
spring or early summer cattleya, have
bloomed and some good specimens
recently were seen at the Philadel-
piiia and New York shows. It is an
inexpensive orchid, quijte fioriferous,
and the large, attractive flowers sell
well in the markets. Some forms are
so large that they are fully equal to
the best C. gigas, besides possessing
more substance and having greatet
keeping qualities than that variety.
Florists who have space for a few cat-
tleyas should try a few newly imported
C. Mossiae, which may be expected to
arrive in May, unless the war calls for
vessels now engaged in the South
American trade.
Csrmbidiums.
All the cymbidiums carry attractive
flowers. The best known are C. iLowia-
num and C. eburneum, the hybrids be-
tween these two species, C. Traceya-
num, C. insigne, or Sanderi, C. Qottia-
num and others, all well worth growing.
The flowers of this genus have wonder-
ful lasting properties. I have kept
C. Lowianum for four months and some
other species are almost as durable.
Cymbidiums are terrestrial orchids and
must never be allowed to become dry
at the root. Being vigorous in habit,
they require tolerably large pots and
succeed better in a compost of fern
fiber alone. C. Lowianum does well
in loam alone, with some lumpy char-
coal and a few bits of dried cow ma-
nure added. AH members of the family
require a liberal water supply through
the growing season, and liquid manure
D. nobile is easily propagated here and,
if we stop importing it, it will be pos-
sible to develop an ample stock of
young plants from old pseudo-bulbs
cut into short lengths and laid on
sphagnum moss in a warm, moist house.
GOOD EASTEB STOCK.
There never is any trouble selling
good stock; such difficulty as is en-
countered comes in selling poor stuflf —
and in making it stay sold. Alfred M.
Barton, of Weston, Ont., who does
wholesale as well as retail business, ap-
preciates this fact and he strives for
Easter Lilies at A. M. Barton's, Weston, Ontario.
win benefit well rooted plants, provided
it is given in moderately weak doses.
Odontoglossums.
Many of the odontoglossums have
bloomed or now are in bloom. Be
sure to protect th^ flowers from the
attacks of stt^U snails as sodn as they
are visible, using a piece of cotton-wool
wrapped below the spike. Plants which
have been wintering in a sunny house
should now have, if possible, a house
with a northern exposure; a lean-to
somewhat sunken and facing due north
is an ideal location for most of the
members of this genus in the hot
months. O. crispum is far the best
species. This is the most popular or-
chid in Europe, far exceeding the cat-
tleya in that respect. There are a few
odontoglossums, including grande, cit-
rosmum, Uro-Skinneri, Bossii majus,
pulchellum and Edwardi, which suc-
ceed well at the cool end of the cattleya
house if given a little more summer
shade than the cattleyas.
Deudrobiums.
When Dendrobium nobile, D. War-
dianum and the many hybrids with
nobile blood in them have finished flow-
ering, they should be repotted where
necessary. In many cases a top-dress-
ing of fern fiber and sphagnum moss
will suffice; then place the pots in a
warm, moist house for the summer.
Owing to the European war, we are
unlikely to receive any dendrobiums
this year. All come from the East
Indies, and, unless a few should come
via San Francisco, we are unlikely to
get any new stock until the war is over.

SHAKESPEABE TERCENTENARY.
C. C. Case, of the Dial-Garden Green-
house, I*rairie du Chien, Wis., is a stu-
dent of Shakespeare, the three-hun-
dredth anniversary of whose death falls
on the same date as Easter, April 23.
The following shows how Mr. Case
links the two in his advertising:
DEAD 300 YEARS— STILL LIVES.
There is something suggestive In the coinci-
dence that the three-hundredth anniversary of the
death of Shakespeare comes at Easter this year.
His genius is a continual resurrection. Upon
the garden dial was inscribed what we consider
the most inspired trinity of suggestive and beau-
tiful phrases ever penned in any language ezcCDt
Holy Scripture:
"Man must endure his going hence, even
as his coming hither — Ripeness Is all."
The rock of the dial structure won't last long.
But as long as language lasts these particular
phrases will live as the most exquisite verbal
expression of profound speculative philosophy and
the only actual conclusion reached in all the ages.
All gardens tell the same story in their own lan-
guage. Ever so many of the many flowers which
Shakespeare weaves, by mention, into the gar-
lands of his verse, grow, in season, about this
dial inscription of his composition. And we
have many of them in bloom now in the green-
house near at hand. You will want some of them
now and at Blaster, for many reasons, perhaps
partly in remembrance of the immortal "Bard of
Avon."

BEPAIB OF LEASED BTTTLDINGS.
Florists who occupy leased store
rooms will be interested in a late de-
cision of the Oklahoma Supreme court
bearing on the landlord's duty to make
repairs (Moore versus Enterprise Seed
Co., 151 Pacific Eeporter 867).
The plaintiff rented to the seed com-
pany for a period of five years the first
floor and basement of an Oklahoma
City building. After occupying the
premises for about three years the seed
company quit, and afterwards suit was
brought by the landlord to recover rent
for the unexpired portion of the lease
term. This suit was defended on the
ground that the premises were rendered
unfit for occupancy, and that the com-
pany was constructively evicted because
of the defective construction of a wall
of the building and certain deficiencies
in plumbing, permitting sewer water
and gas to* seep into the basement.
The lease contract contained no pro-
vision on the part of the landlord to
keep the premises in repair. In decid-
ing the case against the seed company
the court said: "If the premises were
to be used as a residence, or if there
was an implied warranty of the fit-
ness of the premises for the purposes
for which they were leased, or if there
was any duty on the part of- the land-
lord to make repairs, the contention of
the defendant would be tenable; but
these are no longer open questions in
this jurisdiction. It is a well recog-
nized principle of law that, in the
absence of a statute or agreement, there
is no implied warranty that the leased
premises are suitable for the purposes
for which they are leased, or that the
landlord will keep the property in re-
pair.

The Market.
The market last week was somewhat
slow, which usually is the case preced-
ing the Easter rush, but orders already
were being placed, and at that time
the outlook for Easter was good.
There appeared to be, according to
some of the large growers, plenty of
stock for the holiday, but not much
in the way of bulbous stock, owing
to the lateness of the season. How-
ever, azaleas, spirseas, ramblers and
other potted plants are numerous.
Easter lilies are plentiful and are
in the pink of condition. The cut
flower market has been well stocked,
but there has been no particular glut.
Boses have been more than abundant
and prices reasonable; they are ex-
pected to take on Easter prices. Rus-
sell, Milady, Ophelia and Sunburst
roses have sold well, their quality be-
ing good. Carnations were plentiful
last week, but were being held back
some for the holiday. Sweet peas have
been numerous and have been selling
at low figures. Violets were fairly
good and the holiday trade probably
will about finish them. Valley is abun-
dant and sells well, and the demand
for it this week for wedding work will
be heavy. Pussy willows sell nicely
and are used extensively for basket
work. Daffodils and jonquils continue
to move easily and the stock is clear-
ing fast. Tulips are slowing up. The
supply of green goods approximately
meets all the requirements.
Various Notes.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Armbrust
have returned to the city. Mr. Arm-
brust now is in the employ of H. E.
Wilson, 88 East Main street.
Harry Merritt was cutting a large
quantity of carnations and said they
would be in fine condition for Easter.
His White Wonder is doing exception-
ally well and is unusually large.
Miss H. B. ElUs, who has been sick
for about a month, has returned to
work feeling much better.
The Kaelber Flower Store, recently
opened on South Clinton street, is do-
ing a fair business and the trade seems
to be steady. The furnishings of the
store are up-to-date and the lighting
arrangement is unique. Miss Lillian
Wheeler is in charge.
The monthly meeting of the Rochester
Florists' Association was held April
10, at the Musicians' Headquarters.
The attendance was fair. John Dunbar,
assistant superintendent of parks, gave
a brief outline of his visit to the Na-
tional Flower Show, at Philadelphia.
The flower show committee was not
able to report anything definite on this
year 's show. The principal naddress of
the evening was given by Will H.
Dildine, of James Vick's Sons, on "The
European Seed Market." He said that
because of the uncertainty of the fu-
ture all plans go wrong. Whatever the
American seedsman may do, he is lit-
erally gambling, as the uncertainty of
conditions gives him practically noth-
ing on which he may build his plans.
The New York Out Flower Co. has
opened a store at 76 East Main street,
where it is showing a fine assortment
of plants. Business was said to be
good and a big Easter trade was an-
ticipated.
The [Ladies' Auxiliary held its
monthly meeting at the home of Mrs.
H. P. Neun, South avenue, April 12.
The usual business was transacted,
after which the members were enter-
tained and served refreshments.
H. E. Wilson has added to his de-
livery service a fine new car, which
should be of good use this week.
The Lord & Burnham Co. reports
good business. Materials for Hugo
Teute's iron-frame house, 40x250 feet,
now is at his place awaiting good
weather for erection. Frank Lavigne
has received material for his curved-
truss show house, which will be erected
early in July. Reports from the local
office of this company are to the effect
that those who can swing a new house
this season should get busy and send
their orders in. Prices on glass, iron,
etc., in fact, all building materials, as
well as labor, still are on the increase
and lower prices are nowhere in sight.

THE OLADIOLUS SITUATION.
I find that orders are coming in so
rapidly that it looks as if gladiolus
bulbs were going to be scarce before
the selling season is over. First size
bulbs of leading varieties, such as
America, Mrs. King, Independence, Au-
gusta, Baron Hulot, etc., seem to be
pretty much all sold. There is also a
hurry-up call for good mixtures and
planting stock. The bull) trade has not
been in so healthy a condition for some
time. This is due partly to the in-
creased number of florists who are mak-
ing use of the gladiolus in a commer-
cial way and partly to the increased
number of amateurs who are planting
it for pleasure. As the French say,
the gladiolus has "arrived" and we,
who have been sweating at the state
and other fairs, take considerable of
the credit to ourselves.

I want to try some gladiolus bulbs

It is perfectly feasible to start your
gladioli in pots for as early a batch as
possible outdoors. Place the bulbs
singly in 3%-inch or 4-inch pots about
the end of February and stand the pots
in a cold greenhouse. They can be
moved into a frame by April 1. In
order not to subject them to too severe
a check, it is a good idea to stand them
over a few inches of warm manure, on
which a thin coating of coal ashes can

MOTT-LY MUSINaS.
E. J. Byam, of Kome, N. Y., is giving
the Homans a big floral treat this
Easter in the new show house, 32x150
feet, and the salesroom, 26x36 feet.
The latter has a stucco facade, with
inside furnishings, including an open
fireplace. It is unique and has the
most improved system of lighting and
heating. The refrigerator is built into
the wf5l, has a heavy plate glass front
and has a capacity of one ton of ice.
The Humphrey Floral Co., of Eome,
has touched up the salesroom in keep-
ing with the season and is showing
some well grown stock. Eebuilding
will follow the spring business.
F. A. Taylor, of Canastota, N. Y.,
has been successful in growing some
acacias from seed brought direct from
Joppa by a local Knight Templar, and
believes that this is the first time on
record such a feat has been accom-
plished.
Frank Baker, of Utica, N. Y., is tak-
ing advantage of his fine place to give
the Uticans a national show on a re-
duced scale. New York gave him some
points. He mentioned that a represen-
tative of a Philadelphia house, who
had seen both exhibitions, agreed that
Father Knickerbocker had put one over
on William Penn.
William Mathews, of Utica, says he-
derives much pleasure from, reading the
reports. While not quite so spry as in
former years, he is always to be found
among his pet orchids, and reluctantly
hands over the activities of the busi-
ness to his son Harry.
W. P. Pfeifer, of Utica, in addition
to having a splendid crop of carna-
tions, has one of the finest stocks of
lilies and spiraeas in that locality for
Easter.
W. A. Rowlands, of Utica, catching
a glimpse of Old King Sol, remarked
that a banner crop of carnations for
Easter was in sight and all sold ahead.
Not content with the dual business now
engaged in. Dr. Rowlands expects, to
receive the appointment of state box-
ing inspector and predicts that the
manly art may take the place of bowl-
ing, which is now less popular than
formerly. In fancy we see him acting
as referee at Houston.
Brant Bros., of Utica, in comment-
ing on the big Lord & Burnham Co.
house in course of construction, pointed
to the fine stock of roses in an adjoin-
ing structure and expressed entire sat-
isfaction regarding the future in both
supply and demand.
Peter Crowe, of Utica, is expected to
add to his houses to accommodate addi-
tional stock of the popular Adiantum
Croweanum.
S. Whitton & Sons, of Utica, report
large sales for Easter and an abun-
dance of stock.
Williams £ Wieder, of Utica, deny
the report that they intend selling out
at this time, when business shows up
so well.
W. D. Snell, of Herkimer, N. Y., says
that the branch at Ilion is proving
niore than he can conveniently handle
and that he will sell it to some hustling
purchaser. The Remington Arms Co.
lias made large additions to its plant
and benefited the trade.
E. A. Baker, of Ilion, reports a con-
siderable increase in business.
J. O. Graham, of Little Falls, N. Y.,
found excellent conditions on his return
from the east. There were large fu-
neral orders and the receipt for the
purchase of the greenhouse property
recently acqmred by him.
Joseph Traudt, of Canajoharie, N. Y.,
has made considerable improvements of
late and has his usual high-grade stock
for Easter. The Beechnut people call
for high-class work.
A. J. Hilton, of Amsterdam, N. Y.,
commented that even the garage had
been utilized to care for Easter stock,
which was never better and all sold.
J. G. Hatcher, of Amsterdam and
Schenectady, gaVe a private show at
the Hoffman range Palm Sunday. The
splendid assortment and high-grade
stock were greatly admired. It was
predicted that Easter business would
beat all previous records.
W. D. Stewart, of Oswego, N. Y., re-
marked it was not so much the quan-
tity of glass as what was under it
that counted. He has the finost sweet
peas thereabout and is successful in the
culture of the orange and lemon.
C. Beckstedt, of Oswego, expects to
do a little building after the spring
rush. Easter stock and orders are sat-
isfactory.
W. H. Workman, of Oswego, will
possibly be in the market for an addi-
tional auto delivery car, if business
conditions continue. Easter and spring
planting sales, together with stock, are
in a most healthy shape. W. M.

Ohent, Belgium. — On top of the many
troubles of the last twenty-one months,
the flooding of the country north and
west of this point has added one more
disaster to those brought upon the
growers here. Many nurseries are un-
der water; the floods have come within
nine miles of Ghent.
London, England. — The Kewites in
America will be interested to know that
in the heavy storm of March 28, among
other damage at Kew, the last of the
ancient elms, known as the Seven Sis-
ters, was uprooted by the wind. Dur-
ing the year 1915, 4,300,330 persons
visited Kew gardens.
London, England. — There has been
much opposition as the result of action
by the Dutch Bulb Exporters' Associa-
tion decreeing that in 1916 and subse-
quent seasons its members shall charge
extra for cases and packing. An ef-
fort now is being made to get British
importers of Dutch bulbs to sign an
agreement to place no orders until quo-
tations are made on the old terms of
free package and delivery to a Dutch
port. A meeting to create public senti-
ment was held April 18, during the daf-
fodil show.
London, England. — The spring exhi-
bition of the Perpetual Flowering Car-
nation Society, held March 29, failed
of its usual success. A record blizzard
kept away many exhibitors and many
visitors. American carnations were
slightly less numerous and British va-
rieties slightly more numerous than in
recent years. W. Wells & Co. won the
cup offered by the American Carnation
Society for American raised novelties,
showing Good Cheer, Aviator and Pink
Sensation, the latter being much the
finest Variety in the show.
Aalsmeer, Holland. — When the Ger-
man government recently prohibited
the importation of luxuries, including
cut flowers, it dealt a severe blow to
a number of growers here. With Medi-
terranean flowers cut off, large consign-
ments have gone into Germany from
this place this season and prices have
been the best realized in many years.
The market now has been cut off and
there are fears that no other outlet can
be found.
London, England. — During the Chel-
sea show a trade conference will be
held to devise ways and means of im-
proving the situation regarding glass-
house operation in England. It is the
general opinion that concerted action
must be taken to keep the trade alive,
as recent prices have been unprofitable.
It is said that most of those growing,
stock under glass have lost money,
while growers of outdoor stock and
dealers in seeds have had fairly gooi'
business.
Rotterdam, Holland. — The Holland-
America line dispatched no boat be-
tween March 23 and April 15, whan the
Ryndam sailed, the delay being due
to the dangers of navigating the North
sea, because of which the Rotterdam,
the largest steamer of the Holland-
America's fleet, recently was withdrawn
from service. The Ryndam carried sev-
eral hundred cases of nursery stock but
was not able to take all the consign-
ments offered. The interruption of the
Rotterdam-New York service will add
greatly to the troubles of American
importers. The situation is one in
which it is impossible to obtain infor-
mation regarding the probable facilities
for 'moving fall shipments of Holland
bulbs and Belgian azaleas.

BEPAIB OF LEASED BXTIIJ)INaS.
Florists who occupy leased store
rooms will be interested in a late de-
cision of the Oklahoma Supreme court
bearing on the landlord's duty to make
repairs (Moore versus Enterprise Seed
Co., 151 Pacific Eeporter 867).
The plaintiff rented to the seed com-
pany for a period of five years the first
floor and basement of an Oklahoma
City building. After occupying the
premises for about three years the seed
company quit, and afterwards suit was
brought by the landlord to recover rent
for the unexpired portion of the lease
term. This suit was defended on the
ground that the premises were rendered
unfit for occupancy, and that the com-
pany was constructively evicted because
of the defective construction of a wall
of the building and certain deficiencies
in plumbing, permitting sewer water
and gas to* seep into the basement.
The lease contract contained no pro-
vision on the part of the landlord to
keep the premises in repair. In decid-
ing the case against the seed company
the court said: "If the premises were
to be used as a residence, or if there
was an implied warranty of the fit-
ness of the premises for the purposes
for which they were leased, or if there
was any duty on the part of- the land-
lord to make repairs, the contention of
the defendant would be tenable; but
these are no longer open questions in
this jurisdiction. It is a well recog-
nized principle of law that, in the
absence of a statute or agreement, there
is no implied warranty that the leased
premises are suitable for the purposes
for which they are leased, or that the
landlord will keep the property in re-
pair.

BOCHESTEB, N. Y.
The Iilarket.
The market last week was somewhat
slow, which usually is the case preced-
ing the Easter rush, but orders already
were being placed, and at that time
the outlook for Easter was good.
There appeared to be, according to
some of the large growers, plenty of
stock for the holiday, but not much
in the way of bulbous stock, owing
to the lateness of the season. How-
ever, azaleas, spiraeas, ramblers and
other potted plants are numerous.
Easter lilies are plentiful and are
in the pink of condition. The cut
flower market has been well stocked,
but there has been no particular glut.
Boses have been more than abundant
and prices reasonable; they are ex-
pected to take on Easter prices. Rus-
sell, Milady, Ophelia and Sunburst
roses have sold well, their quality be-
ing good. Carnations were plentiful
last week, but were being held back
some for the holiday. Sweet peas have
been numerous and have been selling
at low figures. Violets were fairly
good and the holiday trade probably
will about finish them. Valley is abun-
dant and sells well, and the demand
for it this week for wedding work will
be heavy. Pussy willows sell nicely
and are used extensively for basket
work. Daffodils and jonquils continue
to move easily and the stock is clear-
ing fast. Tulips are slowing up. The
supply of green goods approximately
meets all the requirements.
Various Notes.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Armbrust
have returned to the city. Mr. Arm-
brust now is in the employ of H. E.
Wilson, 88 East Main street.
Harry Merritt was cutting a large
quantity of carnations and said they
would be in fine condition for Easter.
His White Wonder is doing exception-
ally well and is unusually large.
Miss H. B. Ellis, who has been sick
for about a month, has returned to
work feeling much better.
The Kaelber Flower Store, recently
opened on South Clinton street, is do-
ing a fair business and the trade seems
to be steady. The furnishings of the
store are up-to-date and the lighting
arrangement is unique. Miss Lillian
Wheeler is in charge.
The monthly meeting of the Rochester
Florists' Association was held April
10, at the Musicians' Headquarters.
The attendance was fair. John Dunbar,
assistant superintendent of parks, gave
a brief outline of his visit to the Na-
tional Flower Show, at Philadelphia.
The flower show committee was not
able to report anything definite on this
year 's show. The principal "address of
the evening was given by Will H.
Dildine, of James Vick's Sons, on "The
European Seed Market." He said that
because of the uncertainty of the fu-
ture all plans go wrong. Whatever the
American seedsman may do, he is lit-
erally gambling, as the uncertainty of
conditions gives him practically noth-
ing on which he may build his plans.
The New York Cut Flower Co. has
opened a store at 76 East Main street,
where it is showing a fine assortment
of plants. Business was said to be
good and a big Easter trade was an-
ticipated.
The (Ladies' Auxiliary held its
monthly meeting at the home of Mrs.
H. P. Neun, South avenue, April 12.
The usual business was transacted,
after which the members were enter-
tained and served refreshments.
H. E. Wilson has added to his de-
livery service a fine new car, which
should be of good use this week.
The Lord & Burnham Co. reports
good business. Materials for Hugo
Teute 's iron-frame house, 40x250 feet,
now is at his place awaiting good
weather for erection. Frank Lavigne
has received material for his curved-
truss show house, which will be erected
early in July. Reports from the local
office of this company are to the effect
that those who can swing a new house
this season should get busy and send
their orders in. Prices on glass, iron,
etc., in fact, all building materials, as
well as labor, still are on the increase
and lower prices are nowhere in sight.

THE GLADIOLUS SITUATION.
I find that orders are coming in so
rapidly that it looks as if gladiolus
bulbs were going to be scarce before
the selling season is over. First size
bulbs of leading varieties, such as
America, Mrs. King, Independence, Au-
gusta, Baron Hulot, etc., seem to be
pretty much all sold. There is also a
hurry-up call for good mixtures and
planting stock. The bull) trade has not
been in so healthy a condition for some
time. This is due partly to the in-
creased number of fiorists who are mak-
ing use of the gladiolus in a commer-
cial way and partly to the increased
number of amateurs who are planting
it for pleasure. As the French say,
the gladiolus has "arrived" and we,
who have been sweating at the state
and other fairs, take considerable of
the credit to ourselves.

Is it too late to plant gladioli out-
doors? Please name the best varieties

doors in your latitude. From April 10
to June 10 they may be planted. Cover
them six inches deep. A few good com-
mercial varieties are: America, pink;

Hulot, blue; Klondyke, yellow; Pan-
ama, pink; Brenchleyensis, scarlet.

GLADIOLUS BULBS IN POTS.
I want to try some gladiolus bulbs
in pots, to be moved to the open ground
as soon as the weather will permit, for
early fiowers. When is the proper time
to pot the bulbs to have them in con-
dition for planting out next April!
0. P.— Ohio.
It is perfectly feasible to start your
gladioli in pots for as early a batch as
possible outdoors. Place the bulbs
singly in 3% -inch or 4-inch pots about
the end of February and stand the pots
in a cold greenhouse. They can be
moved into a frame by April 1. In
order not to subject them to too severe
a check, it is a good idea to stand them
over a few inches of warm manure, on
which a thin coating of coal ashes can

be spread. Gradually harden the plants,
and in your latitude it should be safe
to plant them outdoors about April 25.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
E. J. Byam, of Eome, N. Y., is giving
the Bomans a big floral treat this
Easter in the new show house, 32x150
feet, and the salesroom, 26x36 feet.
The latter has a stucco facade, with
inside furnishings, including an open
fireplace. It is unique and has the
most improved system of lighting and
heating. The refrigerator is built into
the wail, has a heavy plate glass front
and has a capacity of one ton of ice.
The Humphrey Floral Co., of Eome,
has touched up the salesroom in keep-
ing with the season and is showing
some well grown stock. Bebuilding
will follow the spring business.
F. A. Taylor, of Canastota, N. Y.,
has been successful in growing some
acacias from seed brought direct from
.loppa by a local Knight Templar, and
believes that this is the first time on
record Quch a feat has been accom-
plished.
Frank Baker, of Utica, N. Y., is tak-
ing advantage of his fine place to give
the Uticans a national show on a re-
duced scale. New York gave him some
points. He mentioned that a represen-
tative of a Philadelphia house, who
had seen both exhibitions, agreed that
Father Knickerbocker had put one over
on William Penn.
William Mathews, of Utica, says he-
derives much pleasure from reading the
reports. While not quite so spry as in
former years, he is always to be found
among his pet orchids, and reluctantly
hands over the activities of the busi-
ness to his son Harry.
W. P. Pfeifer, of Utica, in addition
to having a splendid crop of carna-
tions, has one of the finest stocks of
lilies and spiraeas in that locality for
Easter.
W. A. Bowlands, of Utica, catching
a glimpse of Old King Sol, remarked
that a banner crop of carnations for
Easter was in sight and all sold ahead.
Not content with the dual business now
engaged in. Dr. Bowlands expects, to
receive the appointment of state box-
ing inspector and predicts that the
manly art may take the place of bowl-
ing, which is now less popular than
formerly. In fancy we see him acting
as referee at Houston.
Brant Bros., of Utica, in comment-
ing on the big Lord & Burnham Co.
house in course of construction, pointed
to the fine stock of roses in an adjoin-
ing structure and expressed entire sat-
isfaction regarding the future in both
supply and demand.
Peter Crowe, of Utica, is expected to
add to his houses to accommodate addi-
tional stock of the popular Adiantum
Croweanum.
S. Whitton & Sons, of Utica, report
large sales for Easter and an abun-
dance of stock.
Williams So Wieder, of Utica, deny
the report that they intend selling out
at this time, when business shows up
so well.
W. D. Snell, of Herkimer, N. Y., says
that the branch at Ilion is proving
more than he can conveniently handle
and that he will sell it to some hustling
purchaser. The Eemington Arms Co.
has made large additions to its plant
and benefited the trade.
E. A. Baker, of Ilion, reports a con-
siderable increase in business.
J. O. Graham, of Little Falls, N. Y.,
found excellent conditions on his return
from the east. There were large fu-
neral orders and the receipt for the
purchase of the greenhouse property
recently acquired by him.
Joseph Traudt, of Canajoharie, N. Y.,
has made considerable impi'ovements of
late and has his usual high-grade stock
for Easter. The Beechnut people call
for high-class work.
A. J. Hilton, of Amsterdam, N. Y.,
commented that even the garage had
been utilized to care for Easter stock,
which was never better and all sold.
J. G. Hatcher, of Amsterdam and
Schenectady, gave a private show at
the Hoffman range Palm Sunday. The
splendid assortment and high-grade
stock were greatly admired. It was
predicted that Easter business would
beat all previous records.
W. D. Stewart, of Oswego, N. Y., re-
marked it was not so much the quan-
tity of glass as what was under it
that counted. He has the finest sweet
peas thereabout and is successful in the
culture of the orange and lemon.
C. Beckstedt, of Oswego, expects to
do a little building after the spring
rush. Easter stock and orders are sat-
isfactory.
W. H. Workman, of Oswego, will
possibly be in the market for an addi-
tional auto delivery car, if business
conditions continue. Easter and spring
planting sales, together with stock, are
in a most healthy shape. W. M.
LANCASTER, PA.
The monthly meeting of the Lan-
caster County Florists' and Gardeners'
Employees' Fraternity was held April
17 at the Chamber of Commerce build-
ing. Fourteen new members were ad-
mitted. The chocolate Easter rabbit
was raffled for the benefit of the treas-
vi'Y and brought a net profit of $2,345.
A festival to swell the- death benefit
fund was arranged, to be held the latter
part of May. The committee of five
has full power to act as it sees fit.
Louis Benner, Alphonse Peters, Harry
Benner, John Weise and Edward Geiter
are the big five on whom the fraternity
relies to make the festival a success.
Next meeting will be held the first
Monday in May, at the headquarters.
Albert M. Herr honored the fraternity
with a visit at the April meeting.

Ghent, Belgium. — On top of the many
troubles of the last twenty-one months,
the flooding of the country north and
west of this point has added one more
disaster to those brought upon the
growers here. Many nurseries are un-
der water; the floods have come within
nine miles of Ghent.
London, England. — The Kewites in
America will be interested to know that
in the heavy storm of March 28, among
other damage at Kew, the last of the
ancient elms, known as the Seven Sis-
ters, was uprooted by the wind. Dur-
ing the year 1915, 4,300,330 persons
visited Kew gardens.
London, England. — There has been
much opposition as the result of action
by the Dutch Bulb Exporters' Associa-
tion decreeing that in 1916 and subse-
quent seasons its members shall charge
extra for cases and packing. An ef-
fort now is being made to get British
importers of Dutch bulbs to sign an
agreement to place no orders until quo-
tations are made on the old terms of
free package and delivery to a Dutch
port. A meeting to create public senti-
ment was held April 18, during the daf-
fodil show.
London, England. — The spring exhi-
bition of the Perpetual Flowering Car-
nation Society, held March 29, failed
of its usual success. A record blizzard
kept away many exhibitors and many
visitors. American carnations were
slightly less numerous and British va-
rieties slightly more numerous than in
recent years. W. Wells & Co. won the
cup offered by the American Carnation
Society for American raised novelties,
showing Good Cheer, Aviator and Pink
Sensation, the latter being much the
finest Variety in the show.
Aalsmeer, Holland. — When the Ger-
man government recently prohibited
the importation of luxuries, including
cut flowers, it dealt a severe blow to
a number of growers here. With Medi-
terranean flowers cut off, large consign-
ments have gone into Germany from
this place this season and prices have
been the best realized in many years.
The market now has been cut off and
there are fears that no other outlet can
be found.
London, England. — During the Chel-
sea show a trade conference will be
held to devise ways and means of im-
proving the situation regarding glass-
house operation in England. It is the
general opinion that concerted action
must be taken to keep the trade alive,
as recent prices have been unprofitable.
It is said that most of those growing,
stock under glass have lost money,
while growers of outdoor stock and
dealers in seeds have had fairly goo»'
business.
Rotterdam, Holland.— The Holland-
America line dispatched no boat be-
tween March 23 and April 15, when the
Byndam sailed, the delay being due
to the dangers of navigating the North
sea, because of which the Botterdam^
the largest steamer of the Holland-
America's fleet, recently was withdrawn
from service. The Byndam carried sev-
eral hundred cases of nursery stock but
was not able to take all the consign-
ments offered. The interruption of the
Botterdam-New York service will add
greatly to the troubles of American
importers. The situation is one in
which it is impossible to obtain infor-
mation regarding the probable facilities
for 'moving fall shipments of Holland
bulbs and Belgian azaleas.

ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
Last week the wholesale cut flower
market was glutted with all kinds of
*5ut flowers and the demand was light.
The calls for stock each morning did
uot make any impression on the large
consignments that came in daily. These
conditions, of course, forced the prices
down to the lowest of the season. The
stock coming in was of the highest
quality, especially of roses, and as the
demand for these was light many went
to waste. Onljjr the choicest stock
brought anything like a price, while
the lower grades went for a song. Many
short Beauties are being shipped in,
but the market condition leaves many
unsold. The same is true of carnations;
$7.50 per thousand was considered a
good price Saturday, April 15. The
outlook is for a big crop of roses and
carnations for Easter, as well as of
other flowers, such as jonquils, daffo-
dils, snapdragons, tulips, Dutch hya-
cinths and lilies. Sweet peas will be
in overabundance. Extra good valley
is somewhat scarce. The wholesalers
eay that prices will be lower than for
any previous Easter.
Florists' Club Meeting.
The meeting of the Florists' Club,
held April 13 in the Odd Fellows' hall,
was fairly well attended, thirty-five
members being present. The proceed-
ings were interesting from beginning
to end. President Bourdet was in the
chair and all the officers were present.
All the committees made reports, that
of the spring flower show being espe-
cially interesting to the members, as
all have united in making the coming
show the best and largest the club ever
held. The committee on the application
of J. H. Heitman reported favorably
and his election followed. The follow;
ing made application for membership:
Oscar Ruff, a retailer; Alex Lorie, of
the Missouri Botanical Garden; Chas.
E. Mandeville, .pot manufacturer;
George Schmidt, a Kirkwood grower;
Martin Lechner, bulb dealer. Several
communications were filed for future
reference. David Geddis was called
upon for a report on the National
Flower Show held recently at Phila-
delphia, and gave an interesting ac-
count of what he saw. President Bour-
det also told the members the fine
points about the show and spoke of all
the side trips on the way home. A.
Vandereen, who had just returned from
a visit to Holland, was called upon
and gave the members a short talk on
Holland and some facts from the war
zone. A vote of thanks was extended
to the speakers.
On motion it was decided to appoint
a committee of three to ascertain the
Amount of glass in St. Louis and vicinity.
Tie committee consists of F. Windier,
W, C. Smith and W. J. Pilcher. The
report is to be ready by next meeting.
The question box brought out some
good discussions, especially on Easter
lilies. This being of great importance
at that time, the retailers, growers and
wholesalers all took part. The next
meeting of the club will take place
May 11.
Various Notes.
"W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, has
started cutting on that big crop of
Russell roses. This cut is about the
finest in quality ever seen of this A^a-
riety in this market. At the W. C.
Smith Wholesale Floral Co., where this
cut is handled, they say it brings top
prices.
Prof. Whitten, of the State Univer-
sity, at Columbia, in a report says that
the recent light frosts did not hurt
the fruit aiiy, particularly in the
southern part of the state.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber, Sr.,
returned home much refreshed April
15 from a 10-day stay at French Lick
Springs, Ind., and Mr. Weber is ready
for a big Easter rush.
Ostertag Bros, are the local repre-
sentatives of the Ideal vacuum flower
box, manufactured by the Ideal Light-
ing Co., Davenport, la. Mr. Ostertag
had these boxes displayed at the house-
hold show in the Coliseum last week
and took many orders.
William Smith and E. A. Kelly tobk
a day off* April 9 for a fishing trip on
the east side and came back with a
great string of fine fish. Mr. Smith
says the strange part of it was that
on the way home nobody stopped them
and asked where they had caught them.
There will be a spring flower show
at Columbia, Mo., May 5, and Presi-
dent Bourdet, of the Florists' Club,
says he has been asked to induce the
local florists to make exhibits. He
lined up quite a few at last week 's club
meeting.
The Koenig Floral Co. made an at-
tractive display at the household show
at the Coliseum last week, showing
badly kept yards on one side and yards
as they should be kept on the other.
Ostertag Bros, had a display of rustic
work and plants for front and back
yards.
J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, was
over last week and said that business
kept him from the National Flower
Show. Mr. Ammann reports that this
is his twenty-fifth year consigning his
output to the wholesale market of C. A.
Kuehn.
Edward Sedivec has taken a partner.
The style of the firm will be Sedivec
& Ochs. Mr. Ochs is a graduate of the
Missouri Botanical Garden, having com-
pleted a 4-year course. The firm will
do a general florist and landscape busi-
ness at 2714 Cherokee street.
Grimm & Gorly had an attractive
opening of their enlarged store last
week. Flowers were given away to all
visitors and great crowds were in this
way attracted all day.
Hugo Werner, of Werner Bros., says
while most of the growers could not
keep back their lily crop and have been
cutting heavily, all their plants will
not be ready, as expected, for Easter,
to their great disappointment.
Great preparations are being made
by the leading west end florists for
Easter. Their show houses are filled
with everything in season in blooming
plants, lilies, of course, being the lead-
ing plant. J. J. B.

THE OOLIJiaE FLOBISTS.
As reported in The Review for March
30, a meeting of college and experi-
ment station florists and those inter-
ested in their work was held at Phila-
delphia March 28. As a result, the
directors of the S. A. F. March 29
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved: That the members of the S. A. P.
Interested In the line of florlcultural education
and research be recognized as a section of the
S. A. F. under the title of the College Florists'
Section of the S. A. F.
Those present at the college men's
meeting were H. B. Dorner, of Illinois;
E. A. White and A. C. Beal, of New
York; B. W. Anspon, of Maryland;
E. I. Wilde, of Pennsylvania; A. H.
Nehrling and A. S. Thurston, of Massa-
chusetts, together with W. N. Eudd
and Richard Vincent, Jr. At the meet-
ing various problems connected with
teaching and experimental work were
discussed. Among some of the things
which were talked over were how to
establish a closer relationship of the
commercial men with the colleges, how
the colleges might cooperate with the
commercial men, the best methods to
use to give students a practical train-
ing in floriculture, the education of the
public to a greater appreciation of
flowers, and the placing of students
during vacations in order that they
"}iglit get actual experience along prac-
tical lines.
As a result of this informal meeting
it was felt that there was need of an
organization which not only would be
of mutual benefit to its members, but
could cooperate with the S. A. F.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.
Newark, N. J. — By order of the
United States District court, the con-
tents of the Broad street store of H. C.
Strobell & Co., bankrupts, as well as
the contents of the greenhouses on
Elizabeth avenue, and an automobile,
were sold at public auction April 11.
There was a fine line of ferns and deco-
rative plants at the greenhouses. The
sale brought $1,114. Later in the week
the sale was confirmed by Referee
Porter. R. B. M.
Wimam E. Doyle.
William E. Doyle, one of Boston's
pioneer florists, died at his home, 15
Kilsyth Road, Brookline, Mass., April
16, after a brief illness, hemorrhage
being the immediate cause of death.
The deceased was born at Roxbury,
Mass., May 22, 1844. He was educated
in the Roxbury public schools and
moved while still a boy to Syracuse,
N. Y., where his father, himself a skill-
ful horticulturist, taught him the grow-
ing and care of plants and flowers. Re-
turning to Boston, Mr. Doyle in 1867
opened a flower store at 43 Tremont
street. For one year he was in partner-
ship with Thomas W. Dee, under the
firm name of Dee & Doyle. Later the
business was conducted in his own
name and he soon gained a wide repu-
tation.
About twenty-six years ago he opened
a store at 306 Boylston street and later
a branch store at 6 Beacon street. Re-
moving his home to Cambridge, he took
over the once famous Hovey estate,
then in a much neglected condition.
Here he had some 35,000 feet of glass
and grew all kinds of flowers, also
making a specialty of large-sized palms
and other decorative plants. As a dec-
orator Mr. Doyle had a wide reputa-
tion and on numerous occasions at-
tested his skill. Decorations that he
liked to speak of were those on the
occasion of the visit of President Cleve-
land and his bride to the Hotel Ven-
dome and the decoration of the Boston
theater for the visit of the late King
Edward VII, at that time Prince of
Wales, and for over twenty years the
class day decorations at Harvard. He
also on a number of occasions furnished
and superintended decorations at the
Madison Square Garden, New YorK.
Mr. Doyle retired from business two
or three years ago and had since inter-
ested himself chiefly in real estate in
his home city. He was a Democrat in
politics, serving in the Cambridge coun-
cil as councilman and alderman, and on
the school committee. In 1884 and 1885
he was a member of the state legisla-
ture and was a mayoralty candidate in
1898. He was a delegate to the na-
tional convention which nominated the
Palmer-Buckner ticket. He was a per-
sonal friend and admirer of Ex-presi-
dent Roosevelt.
For some years he was actively iden-
tified with the Gardeners' and Florists'"
Club of Boston, serving on the execu-
tive committee in 1887 and as vice-
president in 1890, the year the S. A. F.
convention met in Boston. At one time
he was actively interested in the S. A.
F. and the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society. The Killarney rose was intro-
duced and popularized in Boston by Mr.
Doyle, as were many other flowers of
note.
The deceased is survived by three
children, Alice W. Doyle, of Brookline;
Geo. B. Doyle, of Brookline; W. E.
Doyle, of London, England. At the
funeral services at St. Aldan 'a church,
Brookline, April 20, there was a large
attendance, including many of his old-
time friends and confreres. The floral,
tributes were numerous.

Louis Coleman, for manj* years a re-
tailer at North Adams and' Westficld,
Mass., died at his home in Westfield
April 6, after a long illness. He was
born about sixty-three years ago in
Vermont and lived in Pittsfield for sev-
eral years before moving to North
Adams, where he established a large re-
tail trade. Besides his wife, Mr. Cole-
man leaves a daughter, brother and
three sisters.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
The price of paint continues to ad-
vance steadily.
Easter this year seems decidedly to
mark the advent of summer rather than
of spring.
Each letter The Review receives from
Canada, and nearly every one contains
$2 for a year's subscription, now bears
the sticker that shows it to have been
opened and resealed by the censor.
The spring shows and the Easter dis-
plays in the flower stores all indicate that
Pink Pearl is the best forcing rhododen-
dron. The fall in price which has ac-
companied the working up of large stocks
of this variety has served to greatly in-
crease the popularity of the rhododendron
as a pot plant for Easter.
Early this week the Western Union
distributed many thousands of large dis-
play cards advertising its new purchase
and delivery service as applied to Easter
flowers. It could not do otherwise than
largely increase the number of deliveries
to be made at distant places and every-
thing that means more sales of flowers is
a boost for each of us.
SoifE day everyone will know Narcissus
King Alfred. The trumpet and perianth
are all of one shade, a splendid golden
yellow. At the present time the variety
is higher in price than any other in the
list and in some of the recent Dutch cata-
logues a pen has been used to advance
the quotation to $35 per hundred bulbs.
The trade cannot use a variety at that
price, but when the price comes down
within reach everyone will grow it.
DATES OF EASTES.
The latest Easter in this century oc-
curs in 1943, when the date is April
25; otherwise the Easter of 1916 is the
latest with which any florist now living
will have to contend, unless he was in
the business in 1886, when Easter fell
on the same date it will in 1943. The
dates of Easter for the next dozen
years are:

EASTINa WINS SUIT.
In a decision handed down by Judge
Whittelsey at Erie, Pa., April 14, Mabel
A. Baur was ordered to pay William F.
Kasting for the reconveyance of prop-
erty in West Twenty-sixth street and
the final account of the auditor in the
case was ordered to be filed within
twenty days. The decision brought to
an end a dispute over the title of the
property formerly held by the Nie-
meyer estate.
The case was first brought up in
court in May, 1913. Mr. Kasting and
Mabel Baur, with her husband, S. Al-
fred Baur, formed a partnership for the
conduct of a greenhouse. Later, Mr.
Kasting bought out the Baurs' interest
and conducted the business himself,
but owing to a failure to convey the
property to him, action was started in
court, which now has resulted in his
victory.
Mr. . Kasting is head of the W. F.
Kasting Co., Buffalo, and is postmaster
at Buffalo; also he is treasurer of the
Society of American Florists. He is
said to have felt keenly as an injustice
the characteristic legal allegations made
at the time the Baurs started the case
now decided in his favor and therefore
to take special pleasure in the result.
EASTER Pl^ANTS CLEAN UP WEIiL.
With unimportant exceptions the
growers of Easter pot plants have had
their record season. Appreciating the
generally prosperous condition of the
business, nearly all of them set out
early in the season to prepare the
largest stock ever offered for the spring
flower festival. A late Easter made it
easily possible to have everything
ready; the only difficulty was to hold
back some of the early blooming stock.
But nowadays every important plant
forcing establishment has its storage
houses, where the unwelcome sun can
be kept from stock that seems likely to
be ready too soon. The Easter plants
seldom have been of better quality,
nor has the variety ever been greater.
A good many of the lilies were short
in stem, but since the basket arrange-
ments became popular shortness in the
stem of the lily is not the important
factor that it was when lilies were sold
cut, or only one plant to the pot; nowa-
days the retail stores need short lilies
and are looking for them instead of de-
clining to buy them.
The four days beginning with Palm
Sunday are the busiest in the plants-
men's year. Then they sell and deliver
their spring crop. Most of them have
cleaned out as completely as ever will
be possible. There has been a marked
increase in the popularity of the roses,
in which Crimson Rambler has not
shared. The varieties most wanted have
been Tausendschon, Dorothy Perkins,
Hiawa'tha and Erna Teschendorff. Other
subjects have sold about as usual, ex-
cept that spiraea appears to be losing its
popularity; a number of growers report
that while everything else had been
ordered up by Palm Sunday, they still
had quantities of good spiraea that were
slow sale at low prices.
WHAT MAKES IdEBIT?
The value of the advertising space
in a periodical depends first of all upon
the way that periodical is regarded by
those for whom it is published. Any-
body who has the price can print a
paper — it is not so easy to get it read.
That is why letters like these have a
value:
I could not begin to tell you how much I enjoy
every issue of The Review, but I read every
number from cover to cover. Your report of the
National Flo'ner Show at Philadelphia certainly
was complete and I was able to enjoy the show
almost as much as if I had been there. As for
the illustrations, well, they were fine! — Robert
W. Yeo, Ncwth Bergen, N. J., April 12, 1916.
We have the pleasure to inform you that we
always are interested by The Review, as in it
we are able to see communications regarding
the horticulture of the world. Indeed, The
Review I4 the very best Journal in this line. —
Saitama E:ngel & Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, March
29, 1916.
Sending out free copies to those who
don't care enough about a paper to pay
for it does not bring letters like the
above. Nor does a free circulation
produce results for advertisers like the
following:
You receive so many compliments from adver-
tisers In The Review, about good results ob-
tained, that we are afraid you will not care very
much for our mite of acknowledgment. But
to state facts: We owe The Review the estab-
lishment of our business. The kind Information
you have j;lven us at times has helped us along
wonderfully and last year, when the time came
to offer our stock for the first time, we con-
cluded to advertise in The Review only. The
expenses for that year's ads were $8.40, and this
year $7.20. As for the results: Last year we
sold over 6000 bulbs; this year so far, over
12,000, and the few we have left will surely go
with another two insertions of a classified ad. —
Gerbing Floral Garden Co., Femandlna, Fla.,
April 12, 1916.
The Gerbing Garden specializes in
fancy-leaved caladiums, offering them
at $8, $10 and $12 per hundred. Sup-
posing that all were sold at the aver-
age price, it would mean that the first
season's expenditure of $8.40 brought
returns of $600 and that this season's
expenditure of $7.20 brought returns
of $1,200.
When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be pret-
ty sure he spends a good bit of money
elsewhere than in The Review.
OHICAOO.
The Market.
At last the regenerating effect of
Easter is abroad in the Chicago market,
and the local trade is vying with ship-
ping business in activity. The local
demand, however, did not come to life
until April 15. Then it began to make
itself felt, and each day since it has
been increasingly strong. According
to many of the larger wholesalers, there
is every prospect of a better Easter
business than the trade has ever en-
joyed. To be sure, the cool weather
has had much to do with this, for with-
out it the growers would not have been
able to hold back the blooming plants
that are now coming in just right.
Good Beauties are again inclined to

be scarce. Those of medium length are
scarcer than those with long stems.
Prices are accordingly stiffer, and stock
clears rapidly. There is a good supply
of other roses, with the newer varieties
enjoying the preference. Russell is in
heavy demand as a substitute for me-
dium length Beauties. Quality is, gen-
erally speaking, most excellent.
Carnations are far short of the de-
mand, and there is every indication that
they will be remarkably scarce for
Easter. This fact, together with the
departure of bulbous stock, will go a
long way to boost Easter lilies and
roses, which are in abundant supply.
Jonquils, with the exception of some in-
ferior outdoor stock, are about done
for. DaflFodils may be counted out.
And tulips are practically off the mar-
ket. There is a large supply of Easter
lilies and they are moving rapidly. Of
short Easter lilies there is no end.
Prices are even more variable than the
quality of the lilies. Valley, while
hot decidedly short, is far from ex-
ceeding the demand, which is quite
active. Callas are plentiful and enjoy
a steady sale. Sweet peas, too, are
moving well, as the Easter crop is not
so large as was expected. Narcissus
poeticus is in fair supply, but does not
meet with much demand. Violets are
almost a thing of the past. Snap-
dragon of excellent quality is available
in quantity and sells readily. Freesias
are not in sufficient supply to cut much
of a figure in the market. Mignonette
and calendulas may be had if desired.
Spanish iris clears soon after reaching
the" market. Gladioli, too, are quite
salable. A few bunches of single white
lilac and double purple lilac have
found their way to the market. The
trade has not as yet had time to make
their acquaintance. Cattleyas are even
scarcer than they were and prices have
taken a jump.

Oechslin's Best Season.
Palm Sunday found Frank Oechslin's
establishment as busy as it is possible
to be; practically every blooming plant
on the place had been sold and was de-
livered within the succeeding three
days. On the whole the stock was a
bit better than it ever has been before,
although many of the lilies were short
in stem. The bulbous stock was good,
being held in nice shape in the cold
cellar. Azaleas, not so numerous as in
some years, were heavily flowered,
Mme Vander Cruyssen being the prin-
cipal variety.

The roses were the leader, a larger
number and better quality than ever
l»efore. A special feature was made
of plants trained to umbrella shape and
they were fine, the varieties being
Tausendschon and Dorothy Perkins.
Tausendschon is easily the best variety
on the list, partly on the score of
beauty, partly because of its amenabil-
ity to the grower's desires and partly
because it is so tenacious of its petals.
This late Easter Dorothy Perkins is
perfect, but it comes so slowly that it
was not forced last Easter, nor will it
be in 1917, when Easter is fifteen days
earlier than this year. Crimson Ram-
bler has been dropped; its sport, Erna
Teschendorflf, is used instead. Two va-
rieties grown in quantity this year for
the first time are Yvonne Rabier and
Mme. Jules Gouchault. Rabier pro-
duces pure white, large double flowers
in great profusion; its one fault seems
to be that, like other white polyanthas,
it drops its petals quickly. Mr.
Oechslin's batch of it was a few days
earlier than he intended. Gouchault is
a splendid variety for basket work;
dwarf, bushy, with excellent foliage.
It produces large, stiff stems, carrying
erect panicles of numerous two-toned
flowers, darker on the outside of the
petals than within, vermilion red ma-
turing to bright rose. The retailers
took to this like a duck to a pond.
Village Elections.
In the village elections in Cook

At Niles Center C. Blameuser was

At Arlington Heights George Klehm

"If your friends tell you that you
look 'so sweet among the flowers,'
don't imagine that you can, therefore,
make a financial success of flower
growing. No, indeed. To be success-
ful you must have capital, at least
$5,000 the first year, together with an
infinite capacity for painstaking
labor." This is according to Airs.

Various Notes.
There will be the usual sales of lilies
in the department stores the three days
preceding Easter and it will keep the
market from being glutted with short
«tock. It has been found the cheaper
class of department stores can and will
take and sell all the pot lilies of fair
quality offered at 16 cents to 18 cents
and it affords the growers an outlet
independent of the wholesale cut flower
market. The department store buyers
do not seem to mind if the plants were
grown in benches and were potted while
in flower, the day before delivery.
After being associated with A. C.
Spencer for some time, Ed Hauswirth
is making a start in business for him-
self at Fort Wayne, Ind. The refrigera-
tor department of the A. L. Bandall
Co. is building a handsome box for the
new store.
Joseph Kohout has assumed the man-
agement of the Meredith Flower &
Vegetable Co., Liberty ville. III,, in ad-
dition to the responsibilities of his own
establishment. The two places are
about two miles apart, on the same
car line.
The Mrs. Russell plants at Union
Grove promise a splendid cut in May
and look so well in general that they
will be kept going without rest so long
as they can be kept in their present
condition, says Richard Salm.
The steady and almost rapid growth
of the telegraph delivery phase of the
business is commented on by W. J.
Smyth, who says he has found it worth
while to give such orders special atten-
tion as a means for keeping them com-
ing. He says the man who lets such an
order fall down for any reason is block-
ing the wheels of progress.

ter than the average success. He had
5,000 pots, using bulbs from Barnard
and Henderson, and nearly all made
stems above eighteen inches. Felix
Reichling says the cut of carnations
the first half of April was one-third less
than last year and the cut of roses one-
fourth heavier.
The Easter flower show at Garfield
park opened Palm Sunday and over
5,000 people passed the counter in the
first eight hours. It was a good show
and people who saw it told their
friends. All the other parks also have
special Easter displays, free to the
public and at least as accessible as the
Coliseum.
The strength of the demand for cut-
tings of Carnation White Perfection is
noted by Wietor Bros., who say that
with many growers it is increasing in
popularity, while with them they rate
it below both Matchless and White
Enchantress and will drop it after this
season.
Whether it was good luck or keen
business foresight makes no difference,
the fact remains that Joseph Ziska &
Sons have been enjoying the benefits
of a stock of crepe paper bought be-
fore the advance in price took place
and held until values had not only
nearly doubled but green had become
practically unobtainable at any price.

Anton Then's pot plants for Easter
and say he was cleaned out of every-
thing but lilies and spiraeas as early
as April 14.
The last ten days have been most
inauspicious for visitors to the estab-
lishment of the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
at Morton Grove. Everywhere scenes
of activity greeted the eye. And on
every bench in the plant department
were stuck among the several ranks of
pots the sign "Sold." In the Easter
lily houses, electric lights were strung
about overhead — mute evidence of
night work. August Poehlmann says
there has been practically a clean-up,
and the supply was unusually large.
Joseph Foerster is much relieved at
the complete recovery of his little
daughter, who has been ill with scarlet
fever.
At Wdnterson 's Seed Store night
work was supplemented by a 14-hour
shift on Palm Sunday in the effort to
fatch up with orders.
A 7-passenger touring car has been
added to the automobile fleet of Simp-
son's Flower Shop, 3656 Ogden avenue,
according to C. B. Le Mer.
Forty carloads, 12,500 bags, of Wiz-
ard manures are being used by one
Chicago park system this season, ac-
cording to the Pulverized Manure Co.
A recent trip made by Sidney Buch-
binder resulted in two nice orders for
Buchbinder Bros. A special 15-foot re-
frigerator is being built for the Eld-
ridge Floral Co., of Minneapolis, and
another of smaller size for the Winona

Orders for nursery stock are un-
usually heavy, according to D. D. P.
Roy, who is working on several nice
landscaping contracts.
Late April 15, two small bootblacks
stopped to admire the flowers in front
of the Chicago Floral House, 41 West
Bandolph street. They appealed to the
boys and one of them snatched a large
bouquet and away they went. A po-
liceman caught one of them — the one
without the flowers. He was turned
over to his parents.

The Market.
The week ending April 19 has been
rather uneven, with a stronger tone as
Easter approaches. Roses have been
plentiful, selling cheaply at times. Car-
nations, on the other hand, have shown
a tendency that might almost be called
scarcity, although perhaps that is rather
a strong term under the circumstances.
Good, bright-colored carnations have
brought excellent prices; faded or
poorly grown stock has sold cheaply.
Sweet peas, though in good supply,
have sold quite well. Advance orders
for Easter indicate that the buyers
fear a scarcity of peas and seek to
cover. The really scarce flower on the
list is the orchid. Cattleya Mossiffi is
depended on for Easter. To make way
for it, the less desirable Cattleya
Schroederae was pushed off a fortnight
ago on a rather reluctant market. Un-
fortunately, the Mossla? depended on
for this Easter came from a different
section thflu usual. The result is that
they positively refuse to bloom before
May, the further result being that the
price is advancing to towering heights,
an unfortunate condition.
Easter lilies are plentiful, with indi-
cations of a heavy demand that will
only balk at the shorts. It is more
than likely that double violets will
hold out; the singles are pretty well
over. Southern daffodils continue an

quite freely, a novelty for Easier.
The Bermuda Lily.
It was announced in this column
some weeks ago that Pred J. Michell,
Sr., was going, on his first real holiday,
to Bermuda. While on a pleasure holi-
day in the island of flowers, so active
a man as Mr. Michell would not allow
the opportunity to pass without adding
to his store of knowledge on matters
horticultural. The farmers in Bermuda
are nearly all Portuguese. They speak
English imperfectly and are not well
organized to carry on their business
profltably. Those who grow lilies often
receive so little for the bulbs that it
discourages them. They know nothing
of packing and do not get their product
to our market in fit condition unless an
outsider steps in, attends to the grad-
ing and packing and, generally, takes
the profit. Under these conditions it
is not surprising that the lily disease
remains a serious menace. Add to this
trouble the high price of labor, often
inefiScient, and it will be readily under-
stood why lily growing in Bermuda
makes little headway. There are some
fields of lilies in splendid condition,

but even these cannot compete in price
with the Japanese lilies.
Potato growing is increasing. Three
crops are harvested in one year and
they are fine. Onions are grown in
moderate numbers. There are great
fields of parsley and lettuce grown for
the New York market. The British
government has established an agricul-
tural station for the purpose of help-
ing the farmers by testing their seeds
and giving them cultural aid.
Various Notes.
E. E. Martin purchased the retail
business, lease, good will and fixtures at
1725 Chestnut street April 17, from
the creditors of Ludwig P. VoUers. Mr.
Martin assumed control April 18, but
it will take a few days more to obtain
the court's legal assent.
Bertrand H. Farr, of Wyomissing,
Pa., spoke on irises before the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society April 18.
The society's spring show was omitted
in deference to the N. F. S.
Kodman M. Fisenhart, of Torresdale,
Pa., was a successful sweet pea exhib-
itor at the New York show.
Milton H. Bickley issued invitations
for Palm Sunday to his greenhouses at
Palmer's Corner, Chester, Pa. A large
crowd visited the place during the day,
enjoying the fine azaleas, spiraeas, hya-
cinths, carnations, etc. Mr. Bickley
was assisted throughout the day by
William J. Muth, which perhaps ac-
counts for the rumor that three stun-
ning King houses will be added to the
plant ere long.
H. Bayersdorfer paid his fifth visit
to the British legation in Washington
April 13. Mr. Bayersdorfer is fighting
hard to recover a permit for his Ger-
man goods to come here. It was is-
sued some time ago. No one seems to
know just where this permit may be.
Its recovery entails a lot of hard work.
Walter Davis has been assisting E. R.
Martin in his new store this week. Mr.
Martin will continue his downtown
store, on Passayunk avenue.
The M. Rice Co. has followed a rec-
ord-breaking Easter season with an
early start for Memorial day. Two

The Market.
The market closed on Saturday, April
15, with a bountiful supply of stock,
particularly roses and lilies. Beauties
of late have been dragging, though the
quality is fine. The Killarney s, espe-
cially White Killarney, have been ac-
cumulating. Other roses continue to
sell. Of course, all roses below excel-
lent are hanging just at present. Car-
nations have shown no appreciable

change. The quality is good, with a
small percentage of splits. Easter lilies
are plentiful. Callas, too, are sufficient
for all requirenients. Cattleyas and
valley are none too plentiful. Violets
are selling fairly well. Sweet peas are
good and greatly exceed the violets in
quantity.
Some excellent snapdragon is to be
had, but the sales are rather slow. Daf-
fodils and jonquils are improving in
quality and are considered good for
this time of the season. Freesias and
Boman hyacinths are hardly to be con-
sidered, because they are nearly done
for. The single white tulips are not sell-
ing so well as they might, but the double
ones sell readily. Smilax and boxwood
continue short, particularly the latter.
Asparagus is abundant.
Various Notes.
"Walter Stroh, of Batavia, was in
town last week.
A display of seasonable decorative
plants was to be seen at Felton's
Flower Shop last week.
A huge assortment of seasonable
plants, including some extra fine speci-
mens, was on display at S. A. Ander-
son's annual Palm Sunday flower show.
This is always largely attended and al-
ways creates much comnlent. A. E.
NEW YORK.
Tlie Market.
It was hardly a good Saturday last
week, following six dull days during
which stock accumulated. There was
a surplus to dispose of and prices were
considerably shaded before the iceboxes
were cleared. Prices naturally will
harden during the present week. I
suppose it will be a plant Easter, as
usual, for every plant of all the grow-
ers in this section had been sold and
delivery made by April 19.
In the cut flower market American
Beauties now are abundant and prices
have fallen. Good stock last week sold
as low as $10 per hundred. In small
quantities the selects touched $25. The
experts declared there would be no
great advance in anything for Easter.
The rose market, however, is not over-
stocked. Hadley still is a great fa-
vorite and its best blooms sell at $30;
so do the best C. Brunner roses. Euler,
Kussell and Ophelia are favorites and
the public is fortunate in having so
many splendid varieties to choose from.
Carnations are stronger, some choice
arrivals even touching $4 per hundred
April 15. Many, however, sold at $3
per hundred, and anything not up to
the standard fell to $2 and under. Good
prices were expected for Easter. Or-
chids have advanced and promise ex-
cellent values, some of the best cat-
tleyas selling at 50 cents. There are,
however, many inferior blooms, on
which it is hard to realize over 15 or
20 cents each. Mossise leads the list.
There Eave been low figures on the
longiflorum, 3 and 4 cents each for the
short-stemmed and not more than 8
cents for the best of them. It was
thought the top for Easter would be
$10 per hundred.
Valley is not so plentiful and prices
have been up to 4 cents. Of gardenias
there is no end and the prices remain
down, only the selected bringing $2
per dozen. Bulbous stock is abundant
and good prices have been maintained.
The tulips are selling well and are of

fine quality. There are large quanti-

ments continue, but are lacking in qual-

and an overwhelming supply of sweet

MAMAEONECK, N. Y.
A good percentage of the member-
ship of the Westchester and Fairfield
Horticultural Society was present at
the monthly meeting held in the soci-
ety's rooms in Hubbard hall, Green-
wich, Conn., April 14. President Seeley
presided. Two new members were
elected and several proposals were re-
ceived and filed. Harry Turner, of the
Morris Nursery Co., addressed the
members briefly. A number of letters
were read from friends in the trade and
others, offering prizes for the summer
and fall exhibitions. The summer show
will be held at Mamaroneck, in June,
the exact date to be announced later.
The fall show will be held at Green-
wich, Conn., October 31 and November
1. A splendid schedule is in prepara-
tion that will give every grower a
chance, whether large or small. An
attractive list of prizes will be offered,

made: Honorable mention to R. Grun-
nert for Carnation Matchless; Carna-
tion Alma Ward, by J. Linane, honor-
able mention; Ophelia roses, by James
Stuart, cultural certificate; American

The Market.
Trade showed considerably more life
last week, although there was nothing
in the w*y of big events and Palm
Sunday 'ddes not figure more than a
good "Saturday. The indications now
are for a big cut of Easter flowers,
whi(j'li • will -keep prices down on every-
thing. Roses will be plentiful, but
there Will not be any great quantity
of balbous stock. The^-e will be enough
valley to supply all needs, besides quan-
tities of sweet peas, Cattleyas may
be short of the demand, as they are
largely taking the place of violets, but
there will be enough flowers of some
sort to take care of all orders.
One of the peculiar circumstances is
the almost complete dropping of the
use of violets and many are asking how
they may be brought back into their
own. Probably the only way it can be
done will be to stop growing them
entirely for a couple of years and then
bring them back as a novelty, for or-
chids and sweet peas have put them
out of business.
The use of artificial flowers for deco-
rative purposes has certainly made a
wonderful advance this year, as not
only the department stores but aU who
decorate windows seem to find use for a
basket or vase of some kind of artificial
material.
Various Notes.
The public conservatories, both at
Schenley park and the North Side park,
have made great efforts to hold their
bulbous flowers for their Easter dis-
plays, which are looked forward to an-
nually as a great treat and are visited
by thousands every day. On Sunday it
is no unusual occurrence to see a line
of people almost a quarter of a mile
long waiting to pass through the houses.
Superintendent George Burke and his
able assistants, John Jones and James
Moore, surely deserve great credit
for the artistic arrangement of their
displays. At many other places the
men in charge may grow as good stock
and have as beautiful flowers, but in
few other places will they empty five

The Market.
Prospects for a fine Easter business
are excellent. The middle west has had
a good share of the prosperity that has
invaded the country, the kind of inva-
sion we all want. All lines of manu-
facture are busy. Traveling salesmen
report good orders in the various horti-
cultural lines and, moreover, that col-
lections are good. Minneapolis grow-
ers D%ve fine stocks and have booked
orders well in advance. Easter stock is
nearly all sold". The weather is change-
able from bright, hot spells to snow
flurries. All florists hope for fine weath-
er at Easter. If we have it, we shall
have a banner business.
Various Notes.
The Hiawatha Gardens Co. had sold
all its lily stock by April 10. This com-
pany has a fine lot of roses, both in
pots and for cutting.
The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses re-
port a good, steady trade, with funeral
work above the average for the season.
The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses
have disposed of all the lilies and prim-
roses. The association has a fine lot of
La Reine, Murillo and other tulips for
the Easter cut.
The Sunshine Florists last week had
a good decoration, consisting of fancy
roses and other flowers,^ with a unique
arrangement of dolls and ribbons. They
have a new delivery car, specially con-
structed for delivering plants.
Thomas H. Hall has a fine lot of
Easter lilies ranging from eight to four-
teen buds to the pot. He has timed
the roses splendidly and will have an
excellent cut of first-class stock.

much of this is due to the keen rivalry
between the Minneapolis florists in
window decorations. All windows aro
smart at all times.
Thomas Lynes has purchased a house
and two vacant lots. He intends to
utilize the lots for cut annuals. This,
he says, will keep the lots clean, the
juveniles busy and pay for the lots.
Mr. Lynes is one of the old-timers and
always takes a great interest in the flo-
rists' business here.
O. H. Carlson's Hoosier Beauty roses
are well worth seeing, as they are of
fine color and have good, long stems.
The last two years have demonstrated
that the Minnesota climate is suitable
for roses, especially around Minneap-
olis. American Beauty is not all that
could be desired, but any of the other
standard varieties can be found in fine
shape as regards color, foliage and stem.

The Market.
Business last week-.,was unusually
brisk and the customary lull preceding
Easter was not experienced. The gen-
eral condition indicated a heavy Easter
business. Growers of Easter stock had
their plants in excellent condition, and
unless a warm spell occurs the holiday
will be supplied with the finest or pot
plants. Some of the growers had dis-
posed of practically their entire stocks.

The quality of cut flowers coming into
this market is fine and a market is
readily found for the stock. The
florists handling seeds and sundries are
in the busiest period of the season, and
this, combined with Easter, should
make business unusually heavy.
Various Notes.
The St. Paul Florists' Club held its
regular meeting at O. R. Eckhardt's
place, April 11. A nice lot of plant
stocK was on exhibition and the at-
tendance was representative.
O. J. Olson, of Holm & Olson, is
(greatly improved in health since his
last operation, but still is confined at
bi. Luke's hospital.
L. L. May is reported as greatly im-
proved since his arrival in the south.
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. C. Ruff, of Bald
Eagle, have returned from a winter's
stay in Florida.
The Ramsey Cpunty Men's Garden
Club held a rousing meeting at the
Auditorium April 14. The attendance
was estimated at 10,000. Holm & Olson
supplied 20,000 packets of seed, which
were distributed free of charge. Every-
one was presented with a garden
trowel, with the compliments of this
firm.
Out-of-town business with the O. R.
Eckhardt Co. is heavy and a good
grade of stock is being purchased.
Visitors last week were C. Schaeffer,
of the La Crosse Floral Co., La Crosse,
Wis., and A. Miller, of Chicago.

The Market.
A pleasing and decided improvement
has taken place in business since last
week's report vpas Ihailed. The de-
mand has been good and there has been
no particular surplus 'of anything. A
feeling of optimism is abroad on every
hand; everyone is confident that the
total of Easter business will break all
records. Judging by the heavy ad-
vance orders placed, both plants and
cut flowers are largely sold in advance.
The weather has been cool for the sea-
son, with a driving snow storm as late
as April 14, and, barring some such
calamitous condition as we suffered on
the eve of the great holiday a year
ago, business seems bound to exceed
all records.
Roses are not in heavy supply and
are cleaning up well. At Easter prices
advance but little. Hadley is bringing
excellent prices; so are Francis Scott
Key and Ophelia. In other varieties
there is no great change in prices.
Some fine Russell, Miller, Stanley and
Killarney Queen are coming in. Car-
nations are stiffening and good flowers
are likely to bring $5 and $6 and, in
special cases, $8 before the end .of the
week. Sweet peas will be in abundant
crop and are likely to meet with a big
sale. They are of superb quality. A
few single violets may hold out until
the end of the week if we have cool
weather, and there will be a good crop
of doubles. Prices should vary from
$1 to $1.50 per hundred.
Pansies are abundant and all sepa-
rate shades of color sell well. English
primroses put up in bunches of twenty-
five, fifty and 100 are in demand. Yel-
low polyanthus sell nicely. Snap-
dragons are less abundant than a year
ago; pink continues to sell much the
best. Narcissi and tulips are in heavy
supply, but they clean up finely. This
has been a satisfactory bulb season
with all the growers. There are plenty
of Spanish irises and small lots of
Gladiolus Peach Blossom. Sparaxis,

anemones, ranunculi, ixias and tritonias
are seen. Yellow marguerites are in
heavy supply and a fair quantity of
the white Mrs. Sander is coming in.
Of lily of the valley the supply has
increased. Gallas are moving rather
better. Cut Lilium longiflorum brings
$8 to $10 per hundred, according to
quality, with L. candidum at $5 and
$6. There are plenty of calendulas and
smaller lots of iLeptosyne maritima,
coreopsis, hunnemannia and schizan-
thus.
Gardenias are in heavy supply, but
cattleyas are not abundant and prices
on C. MossisB have advanced sharply.
For both Asparagus plumosus and
Sprengeri there is an excellent demand.
The trade in pot plants appears to be
the greatest ever, with lilies, roses,
azaleas, bulbous flowers, hydrangeas,
genistas and pink spiraeas the Isest
sellers.
Club Meeting.
There were 100 in attendance at the
meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club April 12. F, A. Smith, principal
of the Essex Agricultural School, Dan-
vers, gave a splendid practical lecture
on "Orcharding." Eeports on the In-
ternational and National Flower Shows
were made and Peter Fisher presented
resolutions on the death of Albert
Roper, who was murdered on the night
of March 1. It was decided to have
ladies' nights at the June and Septem-
ber meetings and the annual picnic of
the club was set for July 25. An invi-
tation was received that the club hold
a field day May 15 to inspect the rock
gardens on the S. M. Weld estate, at
Dedham,
.Tames Wheeler, of Natick, was given
a report of merit for his exhibit of
grand yellow marguerites. A report of
merit also was given to F. W. Fletcher,

Various Notes.
William E. Doyle, one of Boston's
oldest and best known florists, died last
week at his home at Brookline, in his
seventy-second year. A short biography
is given in the obituary column of this
issue.
F. J. Dolansky, of Lynn, has a heavy
crop of gardenias for Easter. He is
selling quantities of nice, bushy, well-
flowered plants. Of cattleyas his
Schroederae now is running out, but he
has a flne lot of Mossise. He has a
splendid showing of young stock of
French hydrangeas carrying single
heads, which are in demand.
William H. Elliott is especially strong
at present on Hadley, Miller and
Ophelia roses. From his Brighton es-
tablishment, where George C. Harbison
is manager, excellent Beauties and
Millers are coming in. The demand for
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, of
which he is a large grower, is strong.
H. M. Robinson & Co. report Easter
advance orders heavy and the men are
rushed to keep abretist of business.
They are having heavy calls for Sim's
sweet peas, mignonette and polyanthus.
Kamayana & Serada, of North. Cam-
bridge, have fine stock of specimen
Tausendschon and other roses, and
hydrangeas for Easter.
Mann Bros, are the largest local
growers of Lilium candidum, which
proves popular at this season. They
have good stock of sparaxis and dark
red snapdragons.
H. J. Borowski & Sons, Roslindale,
have an exceedingly good showing of
rambler and polyantha roses, including
fine standards. Bougainvilleas, lilies,
azaleas and other Easter plants have
done well. The additions completed to
their greenhouses are proving of great
value.
LeptosyTie maritima is a pretty pale
yellow annual coming in from several
growers now, including Wm. Capstick,
of Auburndale, and C. B. Luard, of
WoUaston. It would sell much better
but for its bad habit of coming with
twisted stems.
Edward Bingham, of Dedham, has a
fine crop of some 40,000 Campbell vio-
lets for Easter. His English primroses
are remarkably fine and meet with a
quick sale.
Seed stores now are rushed' to the

60 years' experience in the florist business gaarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed
limit and night and day work is neces-
sary to keep up with orders. Business
at counters started late and, therefore,
is all the more strenuous.
John W. Foote, of Reading, has a
good crop of Pink Delight, White Won-
der and Beacon for the holidays. He
is marketing a fine lot of well-flowered
geraniums.
The Sutermeister estate, of Eead-
ville, never had so many orders for
bulbous pans before. The leaders are
Murillo tulips and. Victoria and Double
Von Sion narcissi, with smaller lots of
other sorts.
Adolph E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, is
sending in the best Mrs. Sander mar-
guerites of the season, in addition to
yellow marguerites, pink snapdragons
and carnatiDns.
Paul F. Brigham, of Westboro, has
an excellent Easter crop of Spencer
sweet peas in all the leading colors.
His carnations look fine, especially
Matchless, Pink Delight, Ward and
Benora. He has a large crop of pink
and white snapdragons.
April 17 crocuses, chionodoxas,
scillas, winter aconites, helleborus,
Primula Veitchii and denticulata,
Draba Aizoon, Narcissus cyclamineus
and minimus. Tulip Kaufmanniana,
Erica carnea, Arabis alpina, hepaticas
and leucojums were flowering outdoors.
From this time on additional varieties
will open rapidly.
The Budlong Rose Co. has no trouble
in selling its large rose shipments early
each day, the quality being so fine.
Hadley, Russell, Ophelia and Francis
Scott Key are the leading quartette at
present.
Carnation Alice now is doing splen-
didly vrith Thomas Capers and is well
liked. Benora and Pink Delight are

fine. -He has a nicj lot of large-sized,
well flowered zonale geraniums.
Peter Ball, of Wakefield, who spe-
cializes in Asparagus Sprengeri and
plumosus, which are handled by
Herbert T. Capers, says he never had
a better demand for cut sprays than
now. Everything is snapped up as soon
as offered.
Patrick Welch is delighted with the
outcome of the Philadelphia National
Flower Show, He spent twelve strenu-
ous days there. It is certainly a great
deal to ask of a busy man to absent
himself from business for so long a
period, but Mr. Welch and some others
do it cheerfully for the good of the
cause. W. N. C.

Tbe Market.
Those who delayed making their pur-
chases until late in the week probably
were able to buy flowers at prices be-
low normal for this season of the year,
but, on the other hand, they perhaps
found themselves unable to procure or-
chids and valley. Good valley is bring-
ing $6 per hundred at this writing.
The retailers were urged to place or-
ders for Easter deliveries, as it was said
that the price might go to $7 and $8
per hundred. Cattleyas went to $9 and
$10 per dozen last week; the Easter
quotations are $12 to $15, with probably
not enough to go around.
Boses will be plentiful at $30 per
thousand and up. American Beauty
roses are plentiful and, while they
brought $4 and $5 per dozen last week,
the end of the present week probably
will flnd them moving at $7.50 and bet-
ter. Carnations were exceptionally

plentiful last week and this will have
a deterrent effect on the Easter supply.
There will be just about enough to go
around.
At present the market is flooded with
Narcissus poeticus, N. Barrii and N.
Mrs. Langtry, coming in from Virginian
points. They move only at low prices
and whatever the buyer chooses to
offer is usually accepted. These, how-
ever, are about at an end. Daffodils,
Emperor and Empress, are plentiful and
sell at 50 cents per hundred and less.
Some exceptionally fine pansies, the
quality being as good as has ever been
seen in this market, were offered at $5
per hundred bunches, the bunches con-
taining from six to ten flowers, ac-
cording to the size of the pansies.
Stocks are good and should bring from
$2.50 to $4 per hundred.
Among the new arrivals are gladioli,
which for the first of the season are
good and bring $6 and $8 per hun-
dred. Cowslips, or English primroses,
as a novelty, are moving fairly well.

Varlous Notes. • ^
F. L. Mulford, of the bureau of
plant industry, Department of Agricul-
ture, has returned from Norfolk, Va.,
where he spent a week studying the
production of chrysanthemums and
ornamental plants.
The Leo Niessen Co. is offering some
exceptionally fine cornflowers from the
north. Cori^owers have attained con-
siderable popularity this season and are
selling well.
William R. Grey, of Oakton, Va.,
brought 80,000 valley to the market
for the Easter business. This is a
record output for him. The quality of
the stock was good.
Considerable damage was done by the
heavy wind and rain storm which vis-
ited the city last week. All of the
houses in and around Washington lost
more or less glass. The Dunbar Floral
Co., at Alexandria, Va., will have to
replace a number of panes; George
Field had some little damage to his
orchid houses, while Fred H. Kramer
had the large plate glass window at
the side of his store on F street blown
in by the gale. The wind attained a
velocity of fifty miles an hour and de-
stroyed a large quantity of outdoor
stock, the rain beating the stock into
the ground.
William F. Gude spent several days,
in Philadelphia last week on matters
pertaining to the flower show.

Commenting on the condition of the
retail seed business in Georgia this
spring, E. C. Everett, of the Everett
Seed Co., Atlanta, Ga., said: "It looks
as if everybody is going to make a gar-
den this year. We have never had a
busier season."
April business is holding up rather bet-
ter than it usually does, doubtless because
of the backward season and the post-
ponement of much buying due in March.
The trade is fearful of the sudden arrival
of summer. Continued cool weather will
do much to retrieve the losses of March.
The annual fight over free seeds be-
gan in Congress last week. Each year the
opposition grows a little stronger, but it
is scarcely to be hoped that the appropri-
ation will be omitted from the conference
report this year, whatever happens dur-
.ing the earlier stages of the bill's pass-
The Holland- America line is having
difficulty maintaining its service between
Rotterdam and New York, no boat having
sailed from March 23 to April 15, with
no announcement of the probable date of
the next sailing. Spring shipments are
about all across, but the facilities for
moving the autumn bulb shipments are in
doubt. ' ,1^.
The deci^n of the Dutch Bulb Grow-
ers' Association this season to add cost
of cases and packing to the invoice price
of bulbs is creating a great deal of dis-
cussion in England, where it is consid-
ered that all bulb merchants should com-
bine to resist the imposition of extra
charges, and to firmly refuse to buy
Dutch bulbs unless they are quoted pack-
ing free and delivered for a certain sum
agreed on.
SEED IMPORTS INCREASING.
Excluding castor beans, flaxseed,
grass, clover and sugar beet seeds, the
following is the official record of "all
other" seed imports for the last three
years for which figures are available:
1815 j{ 3.657,084
BAD SWEET CLOVER SEED.
In order to determine to what extent
the seeds of the three species of sweet
clover are confused in the seed trade,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture caused to be sent to seeds-
men requests for samples and prices of
white sweet clover seed.
In response to these inquiries 172
mail samples were received, of which
147 were labeled, or described in the
letters accompanying them, by one of
the following names: White sweet
clover, white flowering sweet clover, or
Bokhara clover, all of which are fre-
quently applied to Melilotus alba. Of
these 147 samples only ninety-one were
white sweet clover seed, the remaining
fifty-six being either a mixture of white
sweet clover and biennial yellow sweet
clover seed, or all biennial yellow sweet
clover seed, or one or both of these
adulterated witli alfalfa seed.

The Florists^ Review apeil 20. mc.
"yellow sweet clover," seven were
seed of biennial yellow sweet clover and
eleven were seed of annual yellow sweet
clover.
On the basis of mail samples found
to be incorrectly labeled seventy-five
lots were purchased. Of these pur-
chased lots forty-four were labeled to
designate white sweet clover seed and
only five were found to be true to
name; of nine designated as sweet
clover, one was seed of white sweet
clover; among twenty-two unlabeled
lots ordered on the basis of mail sam-
ples described as white sweet clover,
only three lots were true to name, while
none of the five lots based on mail sam-
ples, not specifically desigfnated, was
white sweet clover.
Of eleven lots purchased, on the basis
of letters quoting white sweet clover,
only three were true to name, while
seven lots purchased on quotations
without designation as to kind were
all white sweet clover.
Of twenty-two purchased lots, which
should presumably have beeft biennial
yellow sweet clover, four were true to
name, and eighteen were seed of an-
nual yellow sweet clover.
It was found that when requests for
mail samples of white sweet clover
seed were "aent to the seed trade fifty-
seven per cent of the samples received
were true to name; that when purchases
were made on quotation without mail
samples fifty-five per cent of the pur-
chased lots were true to name, and
that when purchases were made on the
basis of mail samples not true to name
only twelve per cent of the purchased
lots were true to name.
Of 172 trade samples twenty-three
were found IJo be adulterated with al-
falfa, and of ninety-three purchased
lots twenty-seven were adulterated with
alfalfa. Several years ago, when the
price of sweet clover seed was much
lower than that of alfalfa, mixtures
of the two were sold as alfalfa seed.
Since the prices of the two have been
reversed alfalfa seed has appeared as
an adulterant of sweet clover seed.
This inquiry into the quality of com-
mercial sweet clover seed shows prac-
tically the same condition to exist which
was found in the case of Kentucky
bluegrass, orchard grass, redtop and
hairy vetch, when they were investi-
gated for the first time.
A statement of the facts is now
being distributed to the press for the
purpose of acquainting the public with
the facts. Edgar Brown,
Botanist in Charge, Seed (Laboratory,
Bureau of Plant Industry.
BEWARE TUSNIP BAPE SEED.
The U. 8. Department of Agriculture
has sent out a warning against turnip
rape seed, stating that 200,000- pounds
of the seed, or enough to sow approxi-
mately 50,000 acres, have been imported
from Argentina and Japan and are be-
ing sold as winter rape, although it is
not suitable for the forage purposes for
which winter rape is grown.
The seeds of turnip rape are smaller
and have a more deeply pitted surface
than those of winter rape. The young
plants are easily distinguished by the
difference in habit of growth and the
character and color of the leaves. Win-
ter rape produces a definite stem, with
the leaves occurring along it at inter-
vals. Turnip rape does not produce a
definite stem, the leaves all growing in
an apparent whorl at the surface of the
ttmmitm^

ground. The leaves tf winter raipft* are
thick and succulent, free from hairs,
and covered with a grayish bloom. The
leaves of turnip rape are thin, hairy
and bright green like those of the
garden turnip.
Persons purchasing rape seed may
submit samples to the Seed Laboratory,
TJ. S. Department of Agriculture, Wash-
ington, D. C, for determination as to
whether the seed is that of the turnip
rape or winter rape. Samples of both
turnip rape and winter rape seed, for
comparison, will be sent on application

THE TEXAS ONION CROP.
The Texas onion crop of 1916 is esti-
mated to cover 10,057 acres, as com-
pared with 8,943 acres in 1915, an in-
crease of about twelve per cent. The
condition of the crop April 1 is esti-
mated as fifty-five per cent of normal,
which forecasts a yield of about 192.5
bushels per acre, or a total production
of 1,935,972 bushels, the equivalent of
4,200 cars of 4«0 bushels each. In 1915
the shipments amounted to about 4,607
cars.
Laredo, in Webb county, has about
42.8 per cent of the total acreage,
which, other things being equal, would
give 1,799 cars. The percentage of con-
flition for the county is slightly higher
than that for the state, however, and
it is probable that at this time the
prospect in Webb county is for not less
than 1,900 cars.

EASTER WEEK
During Easter week florists
can get an idea of what the
flower business would be at all
times if it were properly ad-
vertised. People buy more flow-
ers at this particular time simply
because Easter has been adver-
tised in connection with flowers
for so many years. But there
is no good reason why they would
not buy as heavily other times
if they were properly solicited
by advertisements. Out of 10,000
florists in the United States and
Canada not more than 1000 ad-
vertise at all, and out of the
1000 not over 200 know how to
do it right. The reason why we
are interested is because the
larger and more profitable the
florist business is, the larger and
more profitable our business is
bound to be. Progressive florists
must consume large quantities of
lily bulbs to meet the popular
demand, and they will need
Horseshoe Brand bulbs because
they yield more profit than any
other brand sold. Think it over
—advertise your business; and
when you want good lily bulbs
get Horseshoe Brand Giganteum.
Let us put your name on our
mailing list. Write us now.

TOMATOES IN TEUOK GARDENS.
Orowlng the Seedlings in Frames.
A cheap and quick method of grow-
ing tomato plants by the hundreds of
thousands for home use and to ship out
is to use the hotbed. In the first place
we have to consider the hotbed, and the
method of handling after they leave
the hotbed. The horticultural industry
as a whole is inundated by writings
.from armchair gardeners, who have
never learned the business but are al-
ways ready to give profuse advice to
practical men.
The making of the hotbed is worth
full attention. It is the foundation of
future success. Choose a sunny and, if
possible, a sheltered position for the
site of the hotbed. Then procure suf-
ficient fresh straw stable manure to
make a bed eighteen inches wider all
around than the frame and at least two
feet deep when well tramped. Copious
supplies 'Df water must be given, to
generate the heat in the manure. It
is always necessary that you have it
packed so firmly that you can stand
on it without leaving footprints. Mois-
ture and solidity of the compost are
vital to the generation of heat and its
retention afterward.
^he Frame
liead;^
for th»'S««d.
Having made up the bed, \re must
then place *the frame and sashes on it.
This will help to develop the heat.
Keep the sashes closed for two days,
and then give a little ventilation for
two days more, to free the gases which
would otherwise be destructive to plant
life. Then place a layer of fresh, light,
porous soil inside the frame, to a depth
of two inches when pressed solid. For
the next two days leave a slight ven-
tilation on. The soil will warm up and
the gases will be eliminated.
It will then be quite safe to sow the
seed. 'The simplest and best way will
be to sow it thinly in drills, making
the drills two inches apart. By sow-
ing thinly, the light and air will be
allowed to get to the seedlings, and
strong young plants will be the result.
Slight ventilation should be given in
the daytime, to keep the atmosphere
sweet. Watering with a fine sprayer
on the can should be done when neces-
sary, and then early in the day.

The Market.
Again funeral work has been the
chief outlet for stock, which has been
arriving in fairly large quantities.
Tulips are practically over and are be-
ing followed by German irises, omitho-
gsJums, Spanish irises and others.
Easter lilies. that were too early for the
big day were being cut and sent in,
and there also were a number of plants
being offered. Spirseas are on sale and
will be up to the time, but rhododen-
drons should be over in most cases and
azaleas short, There are few bulbous
plants in pota and it looks as though
the principal ttade will be in cut flow-
ers. Outdoor roses are extremely plen-
tiful and good, while the indoor stock
is keeping up well for this season of
the year.
Various Notes.
The quarterly smoker of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society
was held- at the Hoffman cafe, April 8.
The attendance was not quite so large
as usual, but all sat down to an excel-
lent meal, followed by speeches and
story-telling. President Telgate was
in the chair.
George W. Smith has purchased a
new 2-ton truck for use in his nursery
business. He purposes to move most
of the stock from the nursery at
Twelfth and Wall streets to the new
nursery near Beverly Hills.
One of the largest landscape develop-
ment projects taken in hand here for a
long time is that of the Palos Verdes
Syndicate, consisting of a number of
wealthy men from the east. They have
about 17,000 acres on the Palos Verdes
hills near San Pedro, and this is to be
subdivided into choice building sites.
A great deal of nursery stock will be
needed and much of this is being grown
on the place. L. F. Homer, well known
in this section as a landscape gardener
and formerly secretary of the Los An-
geles County Horticultural Society, is
in charge of the work.
The Pasadena Horticultural Society's
annual spring show opened April 13, in
a tent in Central park. At the time
of writing the judges have not com-
pleted their duties, and. it was quite
apparent that they had work cut out
for them to select the winners from
the long list of competitors in some of
the classes. The vegetable classes are
always strong at Pasadena and here it
was evident that W. W. Felgate and J.
Anderson were worthily upholding their
end. In the trade groups the usual ex-
hibitors were to the front. Campbell's
Seed Store had a pretty exhibit and its
pansies certainly were fine. A. Simpson
could not bring the fine places he has,
but he did the next best thing and
showed the pictures. In the Germain
Seed & Plant Co. gn^oup a new idea waa
worked out. Not a single flowering
plant was used, the color being obtained
entirely from foliage plants. At the
back of the group a good but rather
funereal effect was obtained by weeping
willows and an urn-shaped granite vase,
this sloping away to a well arranged

vista of Japanese maples, Nandina
domestica, golden privets, honeysuckles
and other foliage plants. Among the
latter were some dwarf plants of Pitto-
sporum Tobira variegatum, Lady Pol-
lock geraniums and iresines, while in
the larger stock were fine Aucuba Jap-
onica. Biota aurea nana and EHionymus
Due d'Anjou. Paul Howard had for
his exhibit what was supposed to rep-
resent a small lot, closely planted. Some
pretty stock of baby rambler roses and
green euonymus were used to line out
the beds. The Clemence Nurseries as
usual had a pretty display of flowering
plants, well arranged and comprising
most of the popular kinds now in
bloom, the group being helped by the
addition of a number of fine standard
or tree roses. Coolidge 's Fernery & Rare
Plant Gardens showed several new
fruits and a fine collection of roses.
Morris & Snow showed bulbous and
other stock in bloom; also many of
their specialties in seeds. The Patten
Seed Co. had a prettily arranged stand
of seeds and flowering plants. Robt.
Pegg, of the Mentor Nursery, had a
finely arranged group in which every
plant was correctly labeled. The pri-
vate gardeners all showed up well and
taken on the whole I have never seen
the tent so bright and full of color.
The one thing lacking was the fine tu-
lips usually shown^ these being nearly
over everywhere.
A recent call at the City Nurseries,
of Bedlands, showed" everything in fine
shape and Manager W. C. CoUett re-
ports business as far ahead of that of
last year. \ H. R. Richards..
SAN FBANCISCO.
The Market.
The glut of stock that prevailed for;
two or three weeks was interrupted last
week by a cool north wind and now
nearly everything cleans up well, espe-
cially as much stock is being held back
for Easter. Everything is in fine shape
at present and the growers are hoping
that the hot weather will hold off for
another week. From all indications,
the Easter displays will be the best
ever shown here. Some of the shops
are iindergoing a thorough renovation
for the occasion and the dealers are
looking forward to excellent business.
Potted stock, while not excessive, is
sufficient for all needs, there being
more primulas, many rambler roses of
good quality and plenty of spireeas,
hydrangeas, rhododendrons, azaleas, etc.
Lilacs are about gone and tulips are
about off crop. Spanish iris is coming
better and there still is a liberal offer-
ing of good ranunculi.
Carnations continue a little scarce,
but no real shortage is felt. Sweet
peas are beginning to arrive in fair
quantities and the good stock is being
well received. Snowball is to be seen
everywhere and- its quality is rather or-
dinary; it does not clear readily. Snap-
dragons are in splendid demand, espe-

cially the Silver Pink, which every-
body seems to want. Peonies are
scarcer after the abundant offerings
that have been featured. There still
are more roses than needed, but the
quality is better and the demand is
larger. The cut of Easter lilies was not
BO plentiful last week, as the best
plants were being held in reserve. Some
yellow callas are appearing and a lib-
eral offering is in sight for this week.
There is much bedding stock and the
demand is larger than the normal.
Pansy plants in bloom are popular f or
basket work. Some wild lupines are
offered and sell fairly well. There is
plenty of asparagus and adiantum.
Various Notes.
The local trade is much gratified over
the arrest and conviction of Arthur
\Vright, who during the last few weeks

The Market.
Business last week was brisk in all
lines. No special events are reported,
but there was a steady run, which in-
dicated improved ftonditions. Carna-
tions were somewhat scarce, as some
of the largest growers are having only
a light cut. Heavy cuts of roses are
coming from severaJ ranges and are all
disposed of at good prices. Ophelia,
Mrs. Aaron Ward, Mrs. Chas. Bussell,
Eichmond, Killarney, Chatenay, Cecile
Brunner and Hoosier Beauty are the
leading varieties. Some splendid sweet
peas are being cut and their quality
is such as to sell them readily. Forced
gladioli have made their appearance.
Outdoor daffodils are still offered.
Asparagus is more plentiful, but
there is not a full supply. The cut
of orchids has diminished and the flow-
ers are not so good as they were a few
weeks ago. Cattleya labiata is the
producing variety. Silver Pink and
Nelrose snapdragons of good quality
are seen. Home-grown violets are of-
fered, but their quality shows that the
season is about over. Gladstone
spiraeas, potted Piaster lilies and potted
roses are appearing as Easter stock.
Potted rhododendrons and azaleas in
full bloom are seen in some of the
window displays.

The market.
There was fully the usual business
prior to Easter during the week of
April 10 and there was not too much
stock of any of the cut flowers. Roses
were fairly plentiful, of good quality
and selling well. Carnations were of
better quality, there being fewer splits,
and the demand for them was good.
There was a fair quantity of valley and
it was moving well. Outside daffodils
sold cheaply, but the better varieties
commanded fair prices. Spireeas sold
as faat as they arrived. Azaleas were
almost all gone. The sale of gerani-
ums and other bedders has begun, as
usual, prematurely, but some people are
impatient to have their flower lots filled
as early as possible. There are more
of the polyantha roses in the market
than usual and small plants are selling
well, some of the newer varieties being
especially good sellers.
Various Notes.
H. M. Lindley, f(^rmerly of Los
Angeles, has bought out the stock of
the Seattle Nursery & Landscape Co.
and will move it to new premises at
5517 Fifth avenue, northwest, where
the< soil is better adapted to growing
nursery stock.
A visit to the range of the Thomas
Floral Co. is well T\fprth while. There
has been an addition of glass and now
it is one of the most up-to-date places
in this neighterhood. As usual during
the pre-Easte" period, lilies' were of
considerable importance and the stock
at the Thomas place certainly appeared
to be excellent and on time for the
Easter business. There was a large
number of rambler and other roses in
pots, but they did not appear to have
been so well timed. There were fine
plants of Easter Greeting pelargoniums,
which added variety to the display
at the store. The benched roses were
looking fine; especially noteworthy
were the Hadleys and Ophelias. Geo.
Elger is grown in considerable quantity
for cutting, but it does not appear to
be so free as Cecile Brunner. There
are slathers of bedding plants, gera-
niums and calceolarias. Almost every-
thing in the way of commercial plants
and flowers is handled wholesale at this
place, and if variety is the spice of life
this surely is a spicy spot.
Mrs. L. W. McCoy's greenhouses at
South Park contain the usual stock of
plants. Especially notable were the
fine hydrangeas. Some of the French
varieties are grown.
The Seattle Floral Co. had appar-
ently the largest supply of lilies in the
district. George Antenen was confi-
dent of having them all in time, but it
looked as if he, with many others of his
craft, had been saving coal in antici-
pation of plenty sunshine before Easter.
Somehow this has been lacking^' and
there will be lilies in the benchea after
Easter. The other stock at this estab-
lishment was in its usual thriving con-
dition and preparations were being made
for a large bedding plant sale.
The Queen City Floral Co. has a fine
showing of bulbous stock, particularly
hyacinths, of which finer specimens
could not be had. There were lilies
here, and lots of them, and there will

The difficulty which has attended the
importation of European nursery stock
promises to be greater than ever next
season. How long will it be before the
trade in America cat^'f^et along without
heavy imports each season f
The nursery trade is working under
high pressure, to get as much work done
as possible before the arrival of summer.
The trade is apprehensive; work started
later than usual in most sections and a
few warm days will bring the season to
a sudden close.
Placer ground rich enough in gold to
cause a stampede in any man's country
was taken from the foundation for a
warehouse for the State Nursery Co., at
Helena, Mont. Unfortunately, the build-
ers wh6 contracted for the excavation
reap the profits., ,
That a wide campaign of publicity,
and education for better gardens be un-
dertaken by nurserymen through their
associations is the suggestion of Mrs. H.
G. Mitchell, of the Mitchell Nursery Co.,
Tacoma, Wash. Mrs. Mitchell hopes to
have the matter taken up at a nursery-
men's meeting to be held in Medford,
Ore., in June. John Watson, of Newark,
N. J., is the author of an article treat-
ing the matter from the standpoint of
how to increase the demand for nursery
stock. Mrs. Mitchell would use Mr. Wat-
son's article as a foundation for the ad-
vertising campaign.

carnations. These have increased
slightly in price, but the prices of
other stock in general were low. The
light demand for roses, with an in-
creased supply, caused the price to drop
to a low figure and Beauties were hard
to move at any price. Sweet peas are
fairly plentiful and good stock is mov-
ing tolerably well, but shorts are cheap.
Violets are deteriorating in quality,
and. in price as well, while viJley is
moving rather slowly. Southern daffo-
dils are about over, but Narcissus
poeticus and short trumpet jonquils
will soon be seen. The green situation
remains about the same; both smilax
and plumosus are hard to secure.

damage to local florists, though the
wind at times reached a speed of fifty
miles per hour. A large plate glass

no one was injured. The glass was
valued at $200. R. Vincent, Jr., &

all artistically arranged. A large num-

primroses, begonias and miscellaneous

A number of florists have carried on
an extensive advertising campaign for
Easter. The effect, of this cannot be
told at present, bot its outcome is be-
ing awaited with great interest.
James Hamilton opened his green-
houses to the publiqj, April 16, to show
his varied line of Easter stock. The
day was bright and the houses were
viewed by thousands. Hydrangeas,
rhododendrons, azaleas and lilies
formed the bulk of the stock and all
were in good shape. W. F. E.

Business last week was only fair.
The supply of stock was large, but the
sales could not take care of all the
receipts. Shipping business, particu-
larly in supplies and greens, was good.
The early part of this week indications
were that we would have a good and
large su^jBy of stock for Easter.
Roses are plentifuLand generally are
of good quality. Carnation receipts,
too, are heavy. The ^Japter lily supply
is large and should ^e sufficient to take

While business continued good last
week, it was a lit^ quiet. Flowers
were plentiful, genjerally pf good qual-
ity and moderate ia price. Carnations
and sweet peas also were abundant and
cheap. Boses, especially ^ the long-
stemmed varieties, are coming in more
freely and are more reasonablein price
than for several weeks. Valley is of
good quality, fairly abundant and has
recovered from the slump in price that
existed , the previous two weeks; the
price now is about normal for this time
of the year. There was a large influx
of pansy plants in liaskets last week,
about 'the -fiist ^Jt^t have beea seen in
quantily for outsifie plantiiig. . Vio-
lets are plentiful, but nofi 'as a rule oi-
good quwity, being soft and not keep-
ing long. Spring flowers of all kinds
last week were arriving in large quan-
tities. Spiraea is more abundant and
of flrst-class grade.
Various Notes.
Charles Witheridge reports that with
the springlike weather has come a big
demand for flower and vegetable seeds.
Peter Penek sti3.tes tjiat, while busi-
ness fell off somewhat during the last
two or thr^e weeks, .trade is fair for
this time of the year.
Henry A. Strobell last week said he
expected a good Easter trade.
Fred P. Wolfinger has had such a
lively trade that he can hardly believe
it is Lent. He thinks Newark's anni-
versary celebration, which will begin
within a few weeks, will help business.
He is on the main street where the
crowds will gather.
Henry LetUiy, of Elizabeth, had a
unique half-page newspaper advertise-
ment last week. In large letters at
the top of the advertisement were these
words : '"' * We are mobilizing for a
Grand Effater Flower Sale. ' ' On the ex-
treme left and the extreme right were
pictures of pots of Easter lilies. In
the center was a photograph of the
store window, in front of which was a
long sign: *'Leahv, Telegraph Florist
of Elizabeth, N. X" To i;he right of
this were cut 'flewer suggestions and to
the left plant suggestions. The whole
made a neat and unusually drawing ad-
vertisement.
The April meeting of the Essex
County Florists' Chib will be held this
week. Plans for the next flower show
will be discussed. B. B. M.

MILWAU1CEE.
The lAarket.
business was exceptionalljT good for
the week ending with Palm Sunday.
The weather was fine and the stock
wfts in excellent shape. Eosea were
plentiful and this kept prices below
normal. Carnations, however, were not
ini sufficient quantity to meet the de-
mand and pricesfj^owed. a niM increase
over those of the week previous. This'
stock is in fine shape, but few growers
are on crop and the supply will be lim-
ited for Easter. Prices probably will
hold firm at $5, and from the orders
booked it can be seen that the late
orders are going to run short. There
is a fine rose stock on the market, but
carnations seem to have the preference
and the roses are not moving as well
as they should. The large quantity
makes it a buyers' market and, with
the exception of fancy stock, good bar-
gains are easily obtainable.
Violets and sweet peas will be in
good shape for Easter. The stock seem*
plentiful enough to supply the demand,
which is large, considering the late-
ness of the occasion. Single violets
are out of the market and all orders
for them are filled with good double
stock. Violet prices are not so good,
but sweet peas are holding up well.
Bulbous stock will be obtainable for
the Easter trade and it still is in fairly
good condition. It will not last much
after Easter, but the supply is really
remarkable, considering the lateness of
the season.
Plant sales are enormous. The stock
is extra fine this year and almost all
of it sells itself when it is personally
inspected. If reports are authentic,
this is going to be an Easter business
that will set a new standard for the
tiHde and make them go some next
year to keep up to it.
r Various Notes.
The Milwaukee Florists' Club at a
recent meeting appointed a committee
to take up the matter of united adver-
tising. The committee is going into
the matter thoroughly and has high
hopes of bringing its work to a suc-
cessful conclusion in the near future.

The Florists^ Review
April 20, 1916.
EVANSVILLE, IND. '"* '*''
The Market.
Flowers are plentiful and business is
good, although there are more than
enough flowers to go around. The out-
look for Easter is excellent. There will
be plenty of cut flowers and, perhaps,
plants. Easter lilies and bulbous stock
will be short; some have been able to
hold back the bulbous flowers. Every-
body is looking for a big business.
Various Notes.
Karl Zeidler has a splendid stock of
plants for Easter sales. He is finish-
ing the erection of three new houses,
each 25x100 feet, to be used for roses
and carnations.
Julius Niednagel & Sons are doing a
good business and their roses and car-
nations are producing heavily. The
bulbous stock is about gone. Easter
Greetings are 'fine, as well as a lot of
schizanthus in large pots.
The Blackman Floral Co. will have
a 4arge stock of plants for Easter. The
lilies here are grand and there are
many of them. Held-back bulbous
stock will be in good time for Easter.
George Blackman was a visitor at the
State Florists' Association's monthly
meeting at Terre Haute last week.
Miss Lulu Nexal, of the store force, is
back at work after an illness of more
than three months.
Boyston & Fenton have a good batch
of Easter Greetings for the retail trade.
They are preparing for a big sale of
coleus cuttings after Easter.
Theodore Kuebler reports a heavy de-
mand for chrysanthemum cuttings. He
was a visitor to Terre Haute last wet^
to attend the florists' meeting. The
EvansvUle Florists' Club meeting was
held April 12, at Miss Nellie Goodge's
greenhouses, where all present enjoyed
themselves immensely. The lunch served
was the best ever. There was a gen-
eral discussion on bedding plants. The
next meeting will be at Theodore Kueb-
ler *b Santa Rosa fruit farm, June 7.
No meeting will be held in May, as all
will be. too busy to attend. £. 1/. F.
Mempbls, Tenn. — ^The Johnson Green-
houses have been incorporated at $10,-
000 by O. C. Johnson, W. C. Johnson,
F. B. Johnson, H. M. Barfield and T.
Hardaway.
Stuttgart, Ark. — ^Frequently items ap-
pear in The Beview showing the
florists' business to be rim in combina-
tion with many other lines of trade, but
probably the only man who runs a
greenhouse in connection with a factory
for axe handles is H. E. Bhodes, who
now is proprietor of the National
Handle Co., established in 1888.

PLANT TUBS
EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR
laVERYBODY Agrees that Plant Tubs made of
la everlastins Viri>inia- White Cedar will
best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brand
of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele-
brated wood, and these goods are painted inside
and out with best oil paints, a rich green.
They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large

^reenhoase 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 Beview 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 ■peeial
field of itf adaptation.
IS OEEENHOUSE A FACTORY?
Our greenhouses are situated in one
of the largest gas fields in the country.

consumers ' rate for the natur^ gas con-
sumed in oij> ftreMhqu8e8.vtlie monthly

is a manufacturers' ra'
. ._ There
that would
cost us one-fifth of this amount, but
the gas company and its attorneys con-
tend that a. greenhouse range does not
come under the head of manufacturing
plants and that therefore we are not
entitled to the manufacturers' rate.
What we are driving at is this: Can
not you or one of your readers refer
us to a decision of a state or supreme
court in which a greenhouse was held
to be a manufacturing plant f With
such a weapon we may be able to bring
the gas company to terms.
M. F. C— La.
It seems to The Keview the way to
get action is for you to inform the gas
company that unless you get the rate
you want you will heat with some other
fuel. If there is a profit to the gas
company in the rate you demand, you
will get it; otherwise the company will
continue to refuse, and you cannot ex-
pect it to sell at a loss to you just be-
cause it may do so in some other case.
In this case, of course, a court decision
in which a greenhouse was found to be
a manufactory would be an excellent
argument for you. Any information
from readers in this regard would be
appreciated.
FAVORS OIL AS FUEL.
In The Review for March 2 there
appeared a letter by William Hosteller
concerning the use of fuel oil in green-
house heating, in which Mr. Mosteller
advised the inquirer as follows:
"You cannot burn fuel oil under a
not water boiler unless you have a
small steam boiler, fired with wood or
coal, to carry a pressure of twenty
pounds or more. This you would con-
nect to the oil burner to operate it.

but even at that your fire would be
much too hot. There are some burners
on the market designed for burning
distillate, both with and without air
pressure, that are, to a certain extent,
satisfactory, but distillate is too ex-
pensive in most cases to use for fuel.
"I would advise you to let oil alone
unless you have 8,000 or 10,000 feet of
glass, and install a horizontal return-
flue high-pressure steam boiler. Fuel
oil cannot be burned successfully with
less than twenty pounds pressure. You
would be obliged to make your own
burner, as there is none on the market
that would operate with so small a
flow of oil as is needed in this case.
Fifty gallons of oil, properly handled,
will easily keep 5,000 feet of glass hot
in zero weather for twenty-four
hours. ' '
Now, I would like to give the cir-
cumstances under which we success-

fully and economically use crude oil
as fuel. We burn the oil under a No.
646 Lord & Burnham hot water boiler,
and it certainly works perfectly. We
use an electric motor in connection with
a positive pressure blower and oil
pump, maintaining a pressure of
about thirty-two pounds on the air
blower. We "find that one barrel of
oil will heat 6,000 square feet of glass
during zero weather for fifty hours.
The boilers are for hot water heating
and we experience no difficulty in main-
taining a steady temperature at all
times. The burner will burn until it
is shut down, and we can regulate the
fire and, therefore, the temperature at
will. We think, therefore, that Mr.
Mosteller is wrong in some of his state-
ments.
During the winter of 1914-1915 we
used coal and coke as fuel, but last

The Market.
Business during Lent this year far
exceeded that of any previous (Lenten
season. A part of the increase is due
to funeral work and hospital trade.
The market is well supplied with cut
stock, with the exception of carnations,
which fell oflF considerably in quantity.
This may have been due to the fact
that growers were holding back the
cut for Easter. Roses in aU colors are
plentiful. Beauties are more plentiful
now than at any time since the first of

that kept practically every retailer in
the city busy. There were a number
of extra large floral baskets ordered.
Beauties were used to a great extent.
The Peterson Floral Co. had the deco-
ration of the city hall for the inaugura-
tion of the mayor. Palms, ferns and
smilax were used.

USINQEB'S UTTEBANOES.
The Fleming Greenhouses, of Fair-
mont, W. Va., report business as in-
creasing. A house of fine carnations
was noticed.
It is rumored that W. B. Barton and
William Steele, of Uniontown, Pa., will
again join hands in an up-to-date flower
store.
Hagan Bros., of Uniontown, had to
replace all steam pipes laid under-
ground, as the pipes were quickly let-
ting. This handicapped outdoor work«
as all hands were needed to lay the
pipes.
Stenson & McGrail, of Uniontown,
ha^ a nice display of spring plants.
Some fine specimen tulips, hyacinths
and other blooming plants were attrac-
tively staged.
Joseph Haube, of Charleroi, Pa., still
wears the smile that won't come off.
He finds this one of his greatest assets
in business. The seed business is rap-
idly growing and funeral work has
everybody on the jump.
John Paul, of Cumberland, Md., had
a store display of hydrangeas, tulips,
azaleas and numerous other Easter
plants.
B. C. Paupe, of Cumbeiiand, had a
good' showing of spiraeas, hydrangeas
and other seasonable stock.
John Dieckmann, of Elm Grove, W.
Ya., has his usual fine line of Easter
stock coming along in good shape. Sev-
eral benches of hydrangeas and rose
plants will be in good shape for Easter,
Besides some white lilac. A house of
giganteum lilies was noted.
The Virginia Flower Shop, of Wheel-
ing, W. Va., is the center of a seed
rush. Clever advertising has created a
demand for the stock.
Albert Kehrer & Sons, of Martins
Ferry, O., has a fine lot of hyacinths
and tulips that look well for the Easter
trade.
Charles O'Beirne, of Martins Ferry,
is rapidly developing a high-class
florists* trade. Nothing but the best is
bandied either in plants or cut flowers.
Business has been good all the season
and a big trade is looked for at Easter.
Albert Lash, of Wheeling, will open
a store Easter week near the Audi-
torium market. His greenhouses are in
excellent condition and some fine plants
were noted.
Some excellent stock was seen on
a visit to the greenhouses of Frank
Seibert, of Wheeling. The hydrangeas
and cinerarias were particularly fine.
Arthur Langhans, of Wheeling, had a
good showing of novelties. One window
was devoted to garden accessories,
hand-painted fiower pots, bird houses
and other novelties. The other window
was given to plants and cut flowers.
The H. Weber & Sons Co. store at

GLEN COVE, N. Y.
The regular meeting of the Nassau
County Horticutural Society was held
in Pembroke hall, April 12, at 7 o 'clock.
The summer and autumn monthly
meetings will be held at this hour, in-
stead of in the afternoon, as has been
the custom during the winter months.
In the absence of President MacDon-
ald, Vice-president Joseph Adler pre-
sided. A letter was received from
Harry Jones, who has been secretary of
the society for the last year and a half,
stating that, as he had moved to a
point some distance from Glen Cove, he
felt it advisable to resign his office.
Mr. Jones has been a hard worker and
efficient official, and it was with sincere
regret that his resignation was ac*
cepted. Henry Gibson, of Roslyh
Heights, was elected secretary for the
remainder of the year.
A letter was received from the In-
ternational Garden Club, requesting the
cooperation of the society in the open-
air flower show to be given by the
Garden Club in June. Offers of two
prizes were received for our coming
rose show, one for twelve peonies and
the other for vegetables. An essay on
"Estate Management and College Edu-
cation," by M. Smith, of New York,
was received from the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners. It was well re-
ceived and a lively discussion followed.
Samuel Trepass read a most interesting
paper on "Peaches Under Glass." He
went into his subject in a thorough
manner and gave much practical infor-
matim. At the conclusion of the es-
say/Vr. Trepass answered a namber of
questions pertaining to fruit growing.
He exhibited a specimen of a grafted
peach tree and some samples of fruit-
ing and non-fruiting wood of the peach.
Schedules for the tulip show and the
rose show, which had been drawn by
the executive committee, were read and
adopted. It was decided to hold the
tulip show during the week of May 14,
the exact date to be announced later,
and to hold the rose show June 14.
Henry Gaut, G«orge Gilder and Thomas
Twigg were appointed judges of the
evening's exhibits and made the fol-
lowing awards: Lettuce, Harry Good-
band, first; twelve roses, John Everitt,
first; twelve sweet peas, James McCar-
thy, first; Spencer sweet peas, exhibited
by Peter McLeod, certificate of cul-
ture; violets, exhibited by William
Noonan, honorable mention.

The Florists' Review
Apbil 20, 1916.
FOET WAYNE, IND.
The Market.
Weather conditions last week were
exceedingly erratic, a mixture of sum-
mer and winter. The cool weather,
however, was ideal for holding back
bulbous stock. The warm days brought
the early shrubs into bloom. Forsythia
and the magnolia shrubs have been
blooming for several days.
Business was good last week. The
demand varied. Funeral work has been
plentiful and decorations numerous de-
spite the LfCnten season. Stock, on the
whole, was quite plentiful. Roses are
in better supply and lilies are arriving
in large quantities. Pansies are on the
market in large numbers and Spanish
irises are a welcome addition to the
present variety of cut flowers and sell
well for corsages and table decorations.
Sweet peas are plentiful, but home-
grown single violets are scarce.
Handsome specimens of azaleas, rho-
dodendrons, lilacs, crimson ramblers
and Easter lilies and a variety of bulb-
ous stock of splendid quality are in
hand for Easter sales. The retailer is
busy decorating his window in Easter
attire and daily newspaper advertising
is helping the good work along. Greens
are in good condition, with the excep-
tion of Sprengeri, which is of poor
quality.
Various Notes.
The A. J. Lanternier & Sons Calhoun
street store is making a fine showing
of Easter plants. The newly decorated
interior affords a splendid background
for the magnificent blooms.
W. J. & M. S. Vesey are sending
good cattleyas to the local retail mar-
ket, as well as shipping them in large
numbers. Will J. Vesey has returned

tended the State Florists' Association

The Florists' Review
Afbil 20. 1916.
DETROIT.
The Market.
Everyone last week looked forward
to a tremendous Easter trade. The
market is well supplied with bulbous
stock, especially tulips and hyacinths,
daffodils not being so plentiful and
many of them far advanced. There is,
however, a decided shortage in me-
dium and low-priced azaleas. Eoses
and spiraeas are about equal to the de-
mand. Rhododendrons are scarce.
Various Notes.
Beard Bros, put into commission this
week a large auto truck. The body,
which is of ample proportions, was
specially built. This firm has made a
practice for several years of inviting
the public to visit its large green-
house establishment on Palm Sunday,
and this year more than 2,000 people
took advantage of the invitation.
Many Easter orders were booked, but
Mr. Beard's main idea is just to show
the public the heavy work connected
with growing flowers and plants.
Charles H. Plumb was completely sold
out Monday, April 17.
Herman Pautke, for a number of
years foreman at J. Breitmeyer's Sons'
Mack avenue range, opened a retail
store at 1227 Kerchavel avenue last
week.
The electric battery of J. B. IHnser's
delivery car became exhausted last
Saturday, compelling his son to make
his way through Highland Park with-
out lights. When our lights are turned

The writer has been criticised by the
local tradesmen for the lack of Detroit
.news in The Keview. I have pleaded
guilty and repented, and in order that
I may do better I trust every member
of the trade in Detroit will make it his
business to keep me better posted on
any of his contemplated moves, or
events of general interest. H. S.
Chilton, Wis. — After having spent
fifteen years on .the road, calling on the
florists' trade, W. G. Schmidt settled
here and has established a nice busi-
ness. In addition to cut flowers and
plants he makes a side line of ice cream
m season and many who come for one
buy both.

^U YOU WILL FIND many Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today—
^•^ houses that were built years ago still producing the best the market affords
and still producing profits for the men who own them. You will also find many
Dietsch houses among the newest. Those old houses that stand as sturdy as the day
they were new show the wisdom of Dietsch construction, and to a prospective builder
no further proof is necessary. Our construction stands for perfection in every detail,
and nothing that has not demonstrated its practicability is found in a Dietsch house.
Taking into consideration our years of experience, our care for detail and the top-
notch quahty of materials used, a builder is assured perfect satisfaction.
H We are waiting to hear from you.

The Market.
The week ushered in by Palm Sun-
day found all the florists prepared for
a record Easter trade. AH that re-
mained necessary was favorable
weather conditions, as the reports from
all sides indicated a plentiful supply
of practically everything, with a corre-
spondingly good demand. Nearly all of
the retailers reported unusually early
bookings and the growers were pre-
pared to fill orders at notice. Several
concerns had extra stands downtown.
The local market, from all appear-
ances at this writing, will be short on
violets, which should be largely re-
placed by arbutus, sweet peas and
pansies, while gardenias and orchids
should furnish the exclusive class.
Roses and lilies should be at a premium
and carnations fair to good. There
should be loads of bulbous stock, how-
ever, in pots, pans and cut blooms, to
fill all shortages that occur. Prices all
along the line rule about fifty per cent
above normal.

GREENHOUSES
Have a special type of construction, which permits of
great strength without the need of heavy, shadow-
casting supports. This gives the plants all the sun-
light all day long. Note the amount of light and
shadow in the upper picture. In addition to its great
strength, the King type of construction lends itself to
the graceful, sweeping lines which harmonize with any
style of architecture. That is why a practical, produc-
tive King house is in itself a thing of beauty.
H We can build you any kind of a greenhouse you desire.
When you send for Bulletin No. 47 why not describe that house
you have always wanted— that ideal greenhouse of your dreams?
Our experts will gladly and without any obligation work your
ideas into a practical sketch. Since the days of fairy tales a
King has been able to make dreams come true.

The Market.
Koses are in heavy supply and suf-
ficient to meet all demands. Carna-
tions are rather on the short side and
the daily cut is easily disposed of.
Tulips and daffodils are in fair supply,
but moving slowly. Sweet peas are
plentiful and selling well. Violets are
out of the market. Easter lilies last
week were in good demand and the in-
dications were for a large supply at
Easter. Pansies and hardy plants are
selling more freely.
Olub Meeting.
The Tri-City Florists' Club met at
the residence of William Knees,
Moline, April 13, the meeting being
called to order by Harry Bills. Emil
Jiranz, of Muscatine, was elected to
membership and the officers elected at
the previous meeting were duly in-
stalled. The incoming president, Lud-
wig Stapp, then took the chair.
The report of the committee of the
recent Illinois state florists' meeting
showed a good balance for the club,
after all bills had been paid. C. O. E.
Boehm started the discussion of the
evening by recommending Schizanthus
Wisetonensis as a good plant, both for
cut flowers and potted stock. The
auditing committee reviewed the booKs
and reported them correct, with a hand-
some balance in the treasury.
It was decided to hold no meeting
during the month of May, as there
usually is a light attendance and every-
body is busy with bedding plants.
After extending a vote of thanks to
Mr. and Mrs. Knees the meeting ad-
journed. W. G.

WHEN TO START CINERARIAS.
When should cineraria seed be sown
in order to have phants in bloom at
Christmas and Easter?
H. A. M.— Minn.
For Christmas-flowering cinerarias
sow the seed about the end of June.
For Easter-blooming, mid-August is
sufficiently early. For a late Easter,
such as we have this year, it is hard to
keep back the large-flowered section,
but if you grow a batch of C stellata
or the variety Reading Star, both of
which carry small flowers but are
decorative, you can have cinerarias as
late as the middle of May, providing,
of course, that you give them a really
cool and well ventilated house.
CUTWORMS ON PLUMOSUS.
I have a fine lot of Asparagus
plumosus, but cutworms seem to be
eating at. I have tried moistened bran
and Paris green, with indifferent re-
sults. I have sprayed the beds under
and above the foliage with a solution
of Paris green, but it does not check
the cutworms at all. They have been
hand-picked at night, but still they
come fast and thick. The first night
we picked about 300 in an hour. They
can be seen plainly eating growing eyes
on the stalks of which the tops have
been cut. Some of the worms even
climb to the tops of the big sprays.
They are gray in color, with dark, al-
most black, streaks crosswise on the
back. If these are not cutworms, what
are they, and how can they be killed?
F. C— Pa.
Cutworms are as hard to fight under
glass as outdoors. Even hydrocyanic
acid gas se^ms to have little effect on
them. Poisoned bait, if persisted in,
will gradually clear them out. Give
them some poisoned lettuce or cabbage
leaves, as well as the mash. Have you
tried carbon bisulphide in the soil?
This destroys the destructive larvae of
the June bug or May beetle, and there
is no reason why it should not prove
equally effective against cutworms.
This carbon in small lots costs about 25
cents per pound can, but is less expen-
sive in larger quantities. Bore holes in
the soil twelve to fifteen inches apart
each way with a pointed stick; then
pour half a teaspoonful of catbon into
each hole and immediately cover it to
keep in the gaseous fumes. Cover all
your bed in this way, doing the work in
the daytime while the pests are lurking
in the soil, and few should escape. The

Column Fittings
You have heard about a lot of the
growers who have had to wire
their columns to the purlins, be-
cause when a hard wind blows, the fit-
ting slips. Sometimes they have even
been lifted right oflf the column.
Tou never heard of a thing like that
happening with a Hitchings house, be-
cause in all our bouses the column
fitting is bolted ttarouKb-and-
ttarou eh the column. It can't slip off.
The only way the roof can budge an
inch, is by lifting up the concrete,
ground and all, in which the columns
are bedded. For over thirty years we
have been bolting our column fittings
through - and - through.

that they make more than a mere dif-

SHALL MOTHERS' ^
i^ DAY ENDURE?
Mothers* day is unlike Easter. Memorial day or Christmas — it is not
founded on a popular observance of long standing. Discontinue the Mothers'
day publicity and the special demand for flowers will disappear fully as
quickly as it was created. To keep it going the trade must keep .on adver-
tising— must!
The
OW that Mothers' day has
become one of the red
letter days on the trade
calendar, a lot of people
are busy claiming credit
^ for it, but let there be no
misapprehension; the idea
of Mothers' day was con-
ceived outside the trade,
it was first exploited by
Review, but it would have
amounted to nothing if it had not been
for the retail florists. The trade made
Mothers' day — made it by advertis-
ing it.
Must Keep It Up.
While the trade quite well under-
stands that the enormous sale of flow-
ers at Mothers' day has been the direct
result of publicity— first in The Review
and then in daily papers — there are
many who have not thought of their
own duty in the matter. They have
not yet realized that they owe it to
themselves to put their shoulders to the
wheel along with the shoulders of those
who have thus far done the work.
And today there is danger that the
trade may not realize the result of re-
laxed effort. It was advertising, noth-
ing but advertising, that made Moth-
ers ' day. Nothing
but advertising will
keep it going.
Of course Mothers'
day has back of it
an appeal to senti-
ment that is suffici-
ently strong to make
the date, the second
Sunday in May, cling
in the minds of a
portion of the peo-
ple, else the day
never would have
come to the front in
the way it has, but
the day is not based
on such centuries-old
customs as are asso-
ciated with the ob-
servance of Christ-
mas and Easter.
Even Memorial day,
a comparatively new
flower day, has back
of it a far longer
popular observance.
Mothers' day dates
back only to 1908. In
that year it broke
out sporadically at
widely scattered

points in the United States as the re-
sult of a letter written to a newspaper
by Miss Jarvis, the lady to whom we
A Co-operative Advertisement Published by the Florists of Detroit
are indebted for the idea. But it was
not until 1909 that any considerable
number, either of the trade or public,
heard of Mothers' day. In April of
that year The Review told the trade
that here was a chance to make another
special flower day — a day coming just
when needed, between Easter and
Memorial day, when flowers are plen-
tiful and cheap, when the trade is most
in need of support. In that article all
florists were urged to advertise Moth-
ers' day, to give the day a boost in
every possible way.
It Paid to Push.
While Mothers' day obtained a good
start in 1909, as the result of hundreds
of florists acting on the suggestions
made by The Review, it was not until
1910 that real action was obtained. In
that year thousands of florists pushed
Mothers' day where only hundreds had
done so the year before — the success
that had attended 'the initial effort bore
fruit. From that timdftn Mothers' day
has grown like the proverbial green bay
tree, until it now is one of the big days
for the trade. It has grown almost
without other assistance than the ad-
vertising done by retail florists.
This much must be remembered, how-
ever: A whole year
elapses from one
Mothers' day to an-
other. People forget.
Everybody knows of
the cumulative effect
of advertising. The
more Mothers' day is
advertised the wider
the observance be-
comes; the greater
the effect each year.
But once let the ad-
vertising cease and
Mothers' day quickly
will be forgotten. It
is not yet sufficiently
well established so
that the trade can
afford to let the pub-
lic go unreminded.
If we want Moth-
ers' day to endure it
must be advertised
these many years. It
must be brought to
the attention of the
people each year.
There are innumer-
able ways of adver-
tising Mothers' day.
The easiest way is to

own duty in the matter. They have
not yet realized that they owe it to
themselves to put their shoulders to the
wheel along with the shoulders of those
who have thus far done the work.
And today there is danger that the
trade may not realize the result of re-
laxed effort. It was advertising, noth-
ing but advertising, that made Moth-
ers ' day. Nothing
but advertising will
keep it going.
Of course Mothers'
day has back of it
an appeal to senti-
ment that is sufici-
ently strong to make
the date, the second
Sunday in May, cling
in the minds of a
portion of the peo-
ple, else the day
never would have
come to the front in
the way it has, but
the day is not based
on such centuries-old
customs as are asso-
ciated with the ob-
servance of Christ-
mas and Easter.
Even Memorial day,
a comparatively new
flower day, has back
of it a far longer
popular observance.
Mothers' day dates
back only to 1908. In
that year it broke

are indebted for the idea. But it was
not until 1909 that any consideratle
number, either of the trade or public,
heard of Mothers' day. In April of
that year The Review told the trade
that here was a chance to make another
special flower day — a day coming just
when needed, between Easter and
Memorial day, when flowers are plen-
tiful and cheap, when the trade is most
in need of support. In that article all
florists were urged to advertise Moth-
ers' day, to give the day a boost in
every possible way.
It Paid to Push.
"While Mothers' ^ay obtained a good
start in 1909, as the result of hundreds
of florists acting on the suggestions
made by The Review, it was not until
1910 that real action was obtained. In
that year thousands of florists pushed
Mothers' day where only hundreds had
done so the year before — the success
that had attended 'the initial effort bore
fruit. From that timdiln Mothers' day
has grown like the proverbial green bay
tree, until it now is one of the big days
for the trade. It has grown almost
without other assistance than the ad-
vertising done by retail florists.
This much must be remembered, how-
ever: A whole year
elapses from one
Mothers' day to an-
other. People forget.
Everybody knows of
the cumulative effect
of advertising. The
more Mothers' day is
advertised the wider
the observance be-
comes; the greater
the effect each year.
But once let the ad-
vertising cease and
Mothers' day quickly
will be forgotten. It
is not yet sufficiently
well established so
that the trade can
afford to let the pub-
lic go unreminded.
If we want Moth-
ers* day to endure it
must be advertised
these many years. It
must be brought to
the attention of the
people each year.
There are innumer-
able ways of adver-
tising Mothers' day.

put a sign in the window. Anybody
can do that much. Since windows must
be decorated, almost anyone can adver-
tise Mothers' day by means of the
show-window display — it need call for
no greater effort than is necessary to
procure, in a near-by art store, a print
of Whistler's well known painting of
his mother, which can be put among
the flowers, where it will carry the
idea.
But the best way is to advertise
Mothers' day in the newspapers.
" Bright Flowers."
The advantage of Mothers' day lies
in the fact that all flowers and plants
are salable. In the beginning the es-
timable lady who suggested the idea
designated the white carnation as the
official flower of Mothers' day. But it
did not take long to show the impos-
sibility of having a special flower for
the day. Even now, when everything
is appropriate and salable, the demand
for white carnations sends the price far
above the prices of other flowers.
Early realizing this condition, The Ke-
view suggested a couplet to change the
direction of the demand:
For Mothers at home, flowers bright,
In Mother's memory; flowers white.
How generally the day has been ex-
ploited along the lines suggested by
The Review is well shown by the
almost universal use of these two lines.
You will find them, or some variant of
them, in almost every piece of Moth-
ers' day printing everywhere in Amer-
ica.
The Co-operative Plan.
Of course the self-reliant man wants
to do his own Mothers' day advertising
independently of everyone else, but
there are circumstances in which it
does not seem possible for each flower
store to do individual advertising on a
scale large enough to create public sen-
timent. Appreciating this point. The
Review suggested that florists combine
to advertise Mothers' day on a co-
operative basis. The plan was given
its first thorough trial at Colujnbus, O.,
and the success achieved was so great
that it since has been done hundreds of
times in other places.
Reproduced in this issue of The Re-
view are a number of the Mothers' day
advertisements published in daily
newspapers last year. Then the date
was May 9. This year it- is May 14.
It always is the second Sunday in May.
The individual advertisements will
be of leas interest than those showing
cooperative effort. The individual
plans his Mothers' day advertisement
along the same lines as his regular ad-
vertising. If it is his custom, he
quotes prices, an excellent method. But
the cooperative advertising is planned
to meet the views of the majority
rather than of an individual.
Let the Newspaper Help.
Usually the Mothers' day cooperative
advertising is worked up by the news-
paper in which it is to appear. Occa-
sionally it is done by a committee of a
florists' club, but most frequently it is
the result of a florist telephoning to
the advertising manager of his favorite
daily, just as you might do now. With
the backing of one or two florists, the
newspaper usuklly is able to work up
the business without much effort.
Almost always the beginning is
made by taking a page or part of a
page and dividing it into smaller
spaces, which then are sold, one by one
as florists can be found to go in on the
scheme. This results in more or less
of a hodgepodge, with a tendency to-
ward price cutting and the attempt to
outdo the rest of those represented.
The Better Flan.
The second attempt usually is along
different lines. Nearly the entire ad-
vertisement is devoted to the exploita-
tion of Mothers' day and the use of
flowers as most fittingly expressing the
sentiment of the day. A small part of
the space at the bottom of the adver-
tisement is reserved for the names of
those who contributed to the fund.
This method does not contemplate the
quoting of prices or the making of any
definite offer, but for the cooperative
exploitation of a special flower day, be
it Mothers' day or any other, it has
been found most generally satisfactory.
In a few instances it has been found
possible to raise funds for a Mothers'
day advertisement that did not con-
tain the names of any florists. Two
such advertisements are reproduced
with this article. The one on the first
page was printed last year in Detroit
newspapers. It probably explains the
Mothers' day idea in pictures more
thoroughly than it ever has been done
elsewhere, but the text might be im-
proved. The telegraph delivery fea-
ture of the business is not yet well
enough understood by the public so
that the reference to it in this adver-
tisement would be generally compre-
hended.
Telegraph D^very.
Much better in this respect is the in*
dividual advertisement of Penn, print-
ed on the same page. This was only
one of a series of Mothers* day adver-
tisements the Boston retailer used last
year, • but it states the telegraph deliv-
ery proposition so plainly that any
reader can comprehend just how Penn
delivers flowers at a distance. This is
a feature of the Mothers' day business
that is capable of wonderful develop-
ment. It is worth advertising strongly,
but the text must be plain.
Now that Easter is over, no time
should be lost in making plans for

Two Methods of Co-opefatlve Advertising, One Which Merely Groups Separate Ads, the Other Giving Better Display.
Mothers' day and plans for publicity,
broadly speaking, are even more im-
portant than plans for supplying the
demand the publicity has created and
will maintain. Publicity pays the indi-
vidual, but it also is an insurance for
the whole trade.
What are you going to do about itt
BIBDS IK WINDOW DISPLAYS.
Appropriate and Effective.
This is the season when the mana-
gers of florists' establishments are de-
voting a g^at deal of thought to win-
dow displays. The window display
constitutes the best possible local ad-
vertising medium. The sales that re-
Thc Joys of Life Include Flowers.
suit from window displays cannot be
estimated. The results, like those of
many other forms of feature advertis-
ing, are not always clearly traceable to
their source.
Flower stores throughout the coun-
try win soon begin the display of liv-
ing objects in their windows — not only
flowers, but little chickens, rabbits,
ducklings and so forth. Such window
displays, although somewhat time-worn,
still draw a large amount of attention.
Much of this attention, however, is of
no value to the florist, for the average
person does not easily transfer his
thoughts from the chickens and rabbits
to the flowers and plants that should
form the background of such displays.
While these window displays do not
prove a disadvantage to the florist — on
the contrary, they do produce a small
portion of business — they usually lack
the feature which is most essential.
How Birds Snggest Flowers.
One window arrangement which will
bring large and direct results is the
display of domesticated song birds. The
window can be screened in and an as-
sortment of bird houses, bird baths and
bird feeding bowls may form the fea-
ture of the interior. This window dis-
play most certainly will be productive
of a large incresiie in business, for the
manufacturer of flower boxes and bas-
kets is now engaged in the business of
manufacturing bird houses and so
forth, and the bird propaganda that
is now being carried on is creating a
large amount of interest in beautifying
the home and garden in this manner.
Also, almost every flower establishment
offers for sale bird seed, which can iJso
be given prominence in such a display.
The display of bird life in the win-
dows will draw as much attention at
this time of the year as will the dis-
play of other animal life, for it is as
suggestive and indicative of spring as
are chickens and rabbits.
New Sources of Bevenne.
Another advantage of this display is
the fact that quantities of bird seed
can be shown without harm to the birds
or added expense to the store, for birds,
unlike chickens and ducklings, will not
gorge themselves with the food.
Such a window will open new sources
of revenue to the flower business that

have long been overlooked, and yet the
average person will not allow his at-
tention to center entirely on the birds,
but will also take note of the flowers
and plants that should form: the back-
ground of such a display. Although
the articles offered for sale are intended
for use by the robins, swallows, wrens
and other wild birds, the display of the
domesticated song birds in the window
will prove an advantage. A florist could
ask for no better feature in such a dis-
play than a pair of nesting canaries or
finches and at this season of the year
it can be had, almost for the asking.

PLEASE DON'T.
Sweet peas were scarce at Easter. A
retailer who paid $1.50 per hundred,
when he found himself running short
raised his price to $1.50 per bunch. Of
course it was for the purpose of turn-
ing the demand to other flowers, but it
happened that a good many people
bought the peas in spite of the price.
Now they tell yoii that florists are rob-
bers.
A retailer filled his window with fine
azaleas. There was a sign that read:
"Fine azaleas $1.50 each." The
would-be purchaser found the plants at
$1.50 to be two or three poor specimens
in the back of the store; those in the
window could be had at $2.50 to $4
each. Some people bought the better
plants, but many went out without buy-
ing anything — and to hear them tell it,
florists are snides.

WAB AND THE PAPER MARKET.
Wliere It Hits the Florist.
Florists in all parts of the country
are beginning to feel the effects of the
European war through an inability to
get the various kinds of special paper
used in their establishments. Wax
paper is the most difficult to secure.
The trouble, according ,.to a. paper
dealer, is that wax paper is of such
light weight that the returns are not
large enough to tempt the manufactur-
ers away from other grades. The pro-
duction of wax paper requires the same
degree of mechanical and human energy
and the same length of time as the
heavier grades, such as machine-finished
book paper. The wax paper will aver-
age about twelve pounds per ream; the
book paper will reach sixty pounds or
more per ream. It is impossible to
secure prices on wax paper. It has
advanced fifty per cent and more. The
wholesalers will not quote prices except
from day to day, as their costs are
based on prices prevailing on the day
of .shipment from the mills. They will
not give positive promises as to de-
liveries, nor make any contracts before
consulting the mills.
U. S. Short on Dyes and Chemicals.
This same condition is equally ap-
plicable to tissue paper, which comes
in a size 24x36 inches and averages
about fourteen pounds to the ream.
This can be produced more easily than
wax paper, but because of the dye
shortage and for other reasons there are
some colors in tissues which are not ob-
tainable at all. For instance, there is
the grass bleach tissue. The price some
weeks ago was $1.25; today the price
is $1.75, but there is considerable diffi-
culty in getting it at that price. The
reason for this is that the paper makers
cannot get the bleaching compounds
from Europe; America does not produce
heavily of dyes, bleaches, etc.
There has been an enormous increase
in the cost of letter paper, and when
one goes to the printer he quickly
learns of the high price and the short-
age of inks used in printing. Inks for
the office have jumped to 85 cents per
quart for black, and the price demand-
ed for a quart of red ink is $3. Even
at that price one is lucky to get a quart
of it. In each case the advance has
been thirty-three per cent.
Wrapping Paper and Twine High.
Wrapping paper prices also have
soared, and the ordinary manila for
which we formerly paid 4*^ cents per
pound now costs us 6 cents. If
we ask for craft paper we may be un-
able to get our order filled. A large
wholesale paper house waited one month
to get action on an order for craft
paper. One carload was delivered and
this was quickly' snapped up by pend-
ing orders. The price, formerly 5 cents
per pound, now is 9 cents.
The shipping department also is hit
by the high cost of twine. The colored
cords, known as Sea Island twine, for-
merly 38 cents per pound, now are 50
cents per pound and some of the colors
are missing. American hemp, known
as No. 36, formerly 14 cents a pound,
is hard to get at 22 cents a pound, but
the greatest difficulty at present is with
respect to jute twine. Practically all
of the jute used in this country comes
from Italy, Germany and Austria. It
has long been under embargo against
exportation and, while the price is
quoted at 18 cents a pound, one is lucky
sometimes to get it at any price. It
is for this same reason that boxes have
advanced in price, as jute plays an im-
portant part in the manufacture of
pasteboard, it being used as a filler.
Crepe paper, largely used for pot cov-
ers, has become scarce along with the
rest, some colors being unobtainable at
any price and the general advance be-
ing from one-third to one-half on last
autumn's prices. C. L. L.

Here's a New Idea, a Stole Supplied by a Canadian Florist, to be Worn With a Traveling Costutne.
HEBE'S A NEW ONE.
Here is a sure enough novelty that
every florist will hope to see become a
fad. The idea is that of Hall & Kob-
insoB, ef Montreal, who supply the
photographs used in the accompanying
illustration. The arrangement is called
the bride's stole, and Hall & Eobinson
say it is intended to be worn by the
bride who is attired in a traveling suit
at the time of the ceremony. The stole
illustrated was made of ccelogynes and
lily of the valley on a white satin base.
PAPER BOXES GOINa UP.
• A visible increase in the selling price
of paper boxes may result from a con-
ference of some 150 members of the
Western Paper Box Manufacturers' As-
sociation and their allied interests in
Chicago last week. A resolution was
adopted calling upon the members to
' * buy raw materials conservatively and
in quantities only that are for immedi-
ate demand and use."
KEW GABDENEBS MEET.
The first annual meeting of the Asso-
ciation of Kew Gardeners in America
was held at Shanley's, 117 West Forty-
second street, New York, April 5, in
the form of a retinion and battquet.
There was a large attendance of Kew
men, their wives and friends from many
states in the Union and old friends had
an opportunity to meet again.
It was decided to hold the next an-
nual banquet and reunion during the
week of next year 's spring show in New
York. The officers elected for the en-
suing year were: President, William
Free, of Brooklyn ; vice-president, James
MacPherson, of Trenton, N. J.; secre-
tary, S. R. Candler, of Southampton,

PENTSTEMONS DAMPING OFF.
I have a fine crop of seedling pentste-
mons which I have had difficulty in
transplanting. They have from four to
six leaves. When transplanted, tkey
seem to damp off at once. Can you sug-
gest a remedy! I should also like to
have some cultural notes on these
plants. Do they require pinching, as
snapdragons do? H. M. — La.
Pentstemons need a cool house. Per-
haps you are growing them too warm.
I have never had any trouble with them
(lamping off. You will find a eoldf rame
to be a much better place to grow them
in than a greenhouse. Use a light, but
moderately rich soil. They do not. re-
quire any pinching. They can be
planted out at any time when danger
of frost has passed. They succeed well
in a bed by themselves, or can be
planted in clumps in a mixed border
of annuals and perennials. They are
at their best in cool weather and I am
afraid your summers will prove pretty
hot for them. Keep them moist at the
root, for good results.

'FLO WEB BASBELS.'
How They Are Made at Evansville.
Although at first sight "flower bar-
rels" seem to be rather complicated af-
fairs/ they really are easy to make
when one works by formula. All that
is needed is a barrel, an auger, some
good soil and about 100 flowering plants
in 2-inch or 3-inch pots. The plants
are set in holes bored in the sides of
the barrel, as well as on top, and in
due course of time the whole thing
appears to be a great bush, remarkable
for the fact that it seems to bear sev-
eral kinds of flowers.
It is to C. E. Gysemans, head gar-
dener of the parks of Evansville, Ind.,
that we are indebted for the following
directions on "flower barrels." The
accompanying illustration shows ^o
of the thirteen * ' flower barrels ' ' Jk^-
Gysemans made last summer for TOfe"
parks of Evansville, and also serves
to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Gysemans
to the trade. Here is the way Mr.
Gysemans makes his "flower barrels":
"I take a common 50-gallon whiskey
or oil barrel and remove the top. I
then bore forty-four holes in the sides
of the barrel, each two inches in diam-
eter and six inches apart each way.
The lowest row of holes iS six inches
above the bottom of the barrel and the
top row six inches below the top of
the barrel.
The A B C of It.
"After providing for good drainage
I proceed to set the plants and fill in
the soil until the barrel is filled up to
the lower part of the openings of the
top row of holes. The soil I use is one
part well rotted manure, one part leaf-
mold and one part of rich garden soil.
"After firming down the first soil I
introduce my plants, from 2-inch and
3-inch pots, placing .them in the holes
from the outside. If plants from 3-
inch pots are to be inserted I remove
some of the soil in order to get them
through. When the lowest row of plants
is set all around the barrel I fill in soil
up to the next row of holes, six inches
higher, and then repeat until the top
row is reached.
"On the tops of the barrels I made
last summer I planted the umbrella
plant, Cyperus alternifolius, in the cen-
ter and around it placed petunias,
torenias, zinnias^ coleus, geraniums,
Drummondii phloxes and lobelias. In
the holes on the sides of the barrel I
planted the same varieties, two plants
of different varieties in each hole. I
placed the jplants with the longest stems
deeper in the barrel, in order to have
room to place the second plant in the
same hole. In the lower row of holes,
in addition to the two plants, I planted
a vine of thunbergia and maurandia,
alternately.
' ' The barrel was placed on the trunk
of a tre6 three feet high, about which
the vines of the lower holes droop."

VAOATIONINO IN CUBA.
The accompanying illustration shows
three well known florists near the win-
ter home of Adam Graham, of Cleve-
land, at Santa Fe, Isle of Pines, Cuba.
Adam Graham is the man in the cen-
ter, with Pred Burki, president of the
Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., at the left
aiid John Walker, of Youngstown, O.,
at-.tha right. The look of satisfaction
on'the face of each is easily explained,
for they are each holding a cigar taken
from a box which Mr. Graham had just
received from Philip J. Foley, of Chi-
cago. Oddly enough, the three met ac-
cidentally in Santa Fe, none of them
knowing that the others were in that
vicinity.
Isle of Pines seems to be a favorite
winter resort for florists. Robert Craig
and John Westcott, of Philadelphia, and
Julius Boehrs, of Rutherford, N. J., as
well as many others, find time to visit
Cuba during the winter. Charles Simms,
of Philadelphia, spent some weeks there
this winter. AH were delighted with
the climate and water, and consider the
island one of the most delightful places
in which to spend part of the winter.
John Walker, who has just returned
after a six weeks' visit, thinks Cuba
one of the most attractive places one
can visit. Fred Burki also speaks high-
ly of the climate and recommends it to
anyone who wants to spend a pleasant
vacation in winter, but he says if you
want to make money confine your ener-
gies Ut your own home towfl^ as you
cannot make any money in that coun-
try. Clarke.

given a contract for the erection of a

TOMATOES IN TBUCE OASDENS.
The First Transplanting.
When the plants are in rough leaf
they should be transplanted. It will
then be necessary to determine how
many plants will be placed in boxes
for special use; then the remainder can
be planted out in garden frames. Three
inches of fresh soil, with two ounces
of bone meal to the square, well worked
into it, will give a splendid foundation
for the plants to establish their roots
in. Make the soil firm. Plant the
seedlings three inches apart each way.
Always be careful not to injure the
primary root, and also do not crush tbe
stem of the seedling. A mischance
either way will invariably cripple the
plants. After planting carefully, water
in the plants, and if necessary shade
them.
If a sufficient number of glass hotbed
sashes are available, so much the bet-
ter. If not, other means will be re-
quired to give protection to the plants.
I have used many things, from trans-
parent waterproof paper, which goes
out in the first storm, to light canvas
on rollers. The canvas I have found
to be the best material. Fixed on roll-
ers to the higher side of the frames,
it can be pulled down and up again
at will. These canvas covers are easy
to manage; they are also cheap and
durable and give full protection from
storm and frost. At the end of the
season they can be removed and can be
stored for another season.
Planting in tbe Field.
When the plants are five or six inches
high, they should be planted out in per-
manent quarters. In doing this, it is
as well to adhere to the following rules
if possible: Always soak the plants
well the day before you lift them from
the hotbeds. Loft them in cakes of
four, with sufficient soil on the roots
to prevent the plants having too severe
a check. Pack the plants in shallow
flats and place them on a flat cart,
with an awning to shade them from
the wind. If possible, choose a show-
ery or cloudy day to do the planting.
Planting by hand is the best in most
cases. When the land is in a fine state
of cultivation, the quickest method will
be to make a frame with strong wooden
pegs in it, three feet apart. Work
this from end to end of the field, as
you would a harrow. This yrHl give
you straight lines the required distance
apart. A man with a hand-planter on
the style of the post-planting tool will
make the holes as fast aS two men can
plant the tomatoes. This method allows
the use of stronger plants than can be
used in a mechanical planter. The
plants get away more quickly and a
week at the start is worth more than
a month at the finish. F. E. B.
TOMATOES UNDER OI.ASS.
Will you please give me some infor-
mation on tomato culture f When
should the seeds be sown to have the
fruit about October t What tempera-
ture is required for them, and how far
apart should they be planted! Would
they do well in a rich soil in which
sweet peas have been grown t Can you
give me information as to trimming,
tying and poUenizing and name the best
varieties for greenhouse culture? Would
tomatoes do well coming into crop in
October? F. C. J.— Dl.
Tomatoes under glass need a mini-
mum temperature of 60 degrees. They
require a dry atmosphere, just the op-
posite of that for cucumbers. They are
best grown to single stems, which
should have all side shoots or laterals
removed. The top should also be
pinched out when the plants have
thrown five or six bunches of fruit
each. Good greenhouse varieties are
Comet, Lister's Prolific, Carter's Sun-
rise and Stirling Castle. All these are

FLOWER BARRELS.'
How They Are Made at Evaiisville.
Although at lir.st siylit " llower bar-
rels" seem to be rather coniplicated af-
fairs, tliey really are easy to make
when one works by formula. All that
is needed is a barrel, an auj>er, some
good soil and about 100 llowering plants
in 2-inc-li or 3-incli j)ots. The plants
are set in holes bored in the sides oi'
the barrel, as well as on to2>, and in
duo course of time the wliole thing
ap])ears to be a great busli, remarkable
for the fact that it seems to bear sev-
eral kinds of flowers.
It is to V. E. tiysemans, liead gar-
dener of the j)arks of Evansville, ind.,
that we are indebted for the following
directions on "flower barrels." Th(!
accompanying illustration sliows two
of the thirteen "flower barrels" Mr.
Gysemans made last summer for the
parks of Kvans\ille, and also serves
to introduce J\]r. and Mrs. Gvsemans
to the trade. Here is the way Mr.
Ciysemans makes his "flower bj},rrels":
"1 take a common 50-gallon whiskey
or oil barrel and remove the top. I
then bore forty-four holes in the sides
of the barrel, each two inches in diam-
eter an<l six inches apart each way.
The lowest row of holes is six inches
above the bottom of the barrel and the
top row six inches below the top of
the barrid.
The A B C of It.
' ' After providing for good drainage
1 proceed to set the plants and fill in
the soil until the barrel is filled up to
the low^er i)art of the openings of the
top row of holes. The soil I use is one
]iart well rotted manure, one part leaf-
mold and one part of rich garden soil.
"After firming down the first soil 1
introduce my ])lants, from 2-inch and
.'5-inch pots, placing them in the holes
from the outside. If plants from 3-
inch pots aic to be inserted I remove
some of the soil in order to get them
through. When the lowest row of plants
is set all around the barrel I fill in soil
up to the next row of holes, six inches
higher, and then repeat until the top
row is reached.
"On the tops of the barrels I made
last summer I planted the umbrella
jdant, Cyperus alternifolius, in the cen-
ter and around it placed petunias,
torenias, zinnias, coleus, geraniums,
Drummondii phloxes and lobelias. In
the holes on the sides of the barrel I
planted the same varieties, two plants
of different varieties in each hole. I
placed the plants with the longest stems
deejier in the barrel, in order to have
room to place the second plant in the
same hole. In the lower row of holes,
in addition to the two plants, I planted
a vine of thunbergia and maurandia,
alternately.
' ' The barrel was placed on the trunk
of a tree three feet high, about which
the vines of the lower holes droop."

VACATIONING IN CUBA.
The accompanying illustration shows
three well known florists near the win-
ter home of Adam Graham, of Cleve-
land, at Santa Fe, Isle of Pines, Cuba.
Adam Graham is the man in the cen-
ter, with Fred Burki, president of the
Pittsburgh Cut ^^ower Co., at the left
and John Walker, of Youngstown, O.,
at the right. The look of satisfaction
on the face of each is easily explained,
for they are each holding a cigar taken
from a box which Mr. Graham had just
received from Philip ,T. Foley, of Chi-
cago. Oddly enough, the three met ac-
cidentally in Santa Fe, none of them
knowing that the others were in that
vicinity.
Isle of Pines seems to be a favorite
winter resort for florists. Koliert Craig
and John Westcott, of Philadelphia, and
Julius Roehrs, of Kutherford, N. J., as
well as many others, find time to visit
Cuba during the winter. Charles Simms,
of I'hiladelphia, spent some weeks there
this winter. All were delighted with
the climate and water, and consider the
island one of tlic most delightful ]>laces
in which to spend part of the winter.
John Walker, who has just returned
after a six weeks' visit, thinks Cuba
one of the most attractive places one
can visit. I"Ved Burki also speaks high-
ly of the climate and recommends it to
anyone who wants to spend a pleasant
v.acation in winter, but he says if you
want to make money confine your ener-
gies to your own home town, as you
cannot make any money in that coun-
try. Clarke.
Chester, Pa. — Milton IT. Bickley has
given a contract for the erection of a
greenhouse 28x306 feet to the King
Construction Co., of North Tonawanda,
N. Y. The house will be planted to

TOMATOES IN TRUCK GARDENS.
The First Transplanting.
When the plants are in rough leaf
they should be transplanted. It will
then be necessary to determine how
many plants will be placed in boxes
for special use; then the remainder can
be planted out in garden frames. Three
inches of fresh soil, with two ounces
of bone meal to the square, well worked
into it, will give a splendid foundation
for the plants to establish their roots
in. Make the soil firm. I'lant the
seedlings three inches .apart each Avay.
Always be careful not to injure the
primary root, and also do not crush the
stem of the seedling. A niist-hancc
either way will invariably cripj)le the
plants. After jilanting carefully, water
in the plants, and if necessary sliadc
them.
If a sufficient iniinber of glass hotbed
sashes .are available, so nuich the bet-
ter. If not, other means will be re-
(juired to give protection to the plants.
I have used many things, from trans-
])arent w.aterproof paper, which goes
out in the first storm, to light canvas
on rollers. The caii%:is I have found
to be the best m;iteri;il. Fixed on roll-
ers to the higher side (d" the frames,
it can be pulled down and up again
at will. These canvas covers are easy
to manage; they are also (dieap and
durable and give full protection from
storm antl frost. At the end of the
season tliey can be removed and can be
stor«'d for another season.
Planting in the Field.
When the plants are fi\e or six inches
high, they should be planted out in per-
manent qujirters. In doing this, it is
as well to adhere to the following rules
ii possible: Always soak the plants
well the day before you lift them from
the hotbeds. Lift them in cakes of
four, with sufficient soil on the roots
to prevent the plants having too severe
a check. I'ack the plants in shallow
flats and ])lace them on a flat cart,
with an awning to shade them from
the wind. ]f possible, choose a show-
ery or cloudy day to do the planting.
Planting by hand is the best in most
cases. When the land is in a fine state
of cultivation, the quickest method will
be to make a frame with strong wooden
pegs in it, three feet apart. Work
this from enol to end of the field, as
you would a harrow. This will give
you straight lines the required distance
apart. A man with a hand-planter on
the style of the post-planting tool will
make the holes as fast as two men can
plant the tomatoes. This method allows
the use of stronger plants than can be
used in a mechanical planter. The
plants get away more f|uickly and a
week at the start is worth more than
a mouth at the finish. F. E. B.
TOMATOES UNDER GLASS.
Will you pltvise give me some infor-
mation on tomato culture? When
should the seeds be sown to have the
fruit about October? What tempera-
ture is required for them, and how far
afiart should they be planted f Would
they do well in a rich soil in which
sweet peas have been grown? Can you
give me information as to trimming,
tying and pollenizing and name the best
varieties for greenhouse culture? Would
tomatoes do well coming into crop in
October? F. C J.— 111.
Tomatoes und(>r gl;iss need a. mini-
mum temperature of (io degrees. They
require a dry atmosphere, just the op-
posite of that for cucumbers. They are
best grown to single stems, which
should have all side shoots or laterals
removed. The toj) should also be
pinched out when the plants have
tluown five or six buiiciies of fruit
each. (lood greenliouse \arieties aro

medium-sized sorts and specially
adapted for indoor culture. For suc-
cessful winter culture it is better to
i-estrict the root run somewhat^, as the
plants then make less robust growth
and set their fruits more freely. From
November until March it is a good plan
to pollenize the flowers. This can be
done by tapping the plants about the
middle of the day when it is clear and
sunny, or during dark spells a fine
brush, rabbit's tail or bunch of cotton-
wool tied on the end of a stick can
be used to go over the flowers.
For fruiting in early October, the
iseed should be sown about June 15.
Set the plants eighteen inches apart in
the rows. Tomatoes during October,
November, December and January do
not bring as good prices as in Febru-
ary, March and April, when the de-
mand is better. Grown as a spring or
early summer crop, to follow violets,
winter lettuce or winter sweet peas,
they are a more certain crop and pay
much better than as a winter proposi-
tion.
The Eeview recently has published a
series of brief articles on the culture
of tomatoes under glass. The first of
these articles appeared in the issue for
March 9, page 88. 0. W.

Dwyer mentio'ned that he had the pleas-
ure of escorting two classy of univer-
sity students, fifty in each, boys and
girls, through the range, although it
happened at a busy season. The girls
were especially enthusiastic and tested
Mr. Dwyer 's knowledge rather severely.
The Baker Floral Co. reported that
the vast quantity of stock grown, in-
cluding nearly 1,000 lilies, which, by
the way, were as fine as one could wish
this season, was disposed of locally.
This also included a crop of 8,000 En-
chantress, at 6 cents. "It is our most
profitable carnation," said Manager
Harold Brown, who called attention to
the large size, solidity and perfect color
of the blooms. "We shall try some of
the newer kinds, but we are not going
to discard the old favorite when it be-
haves so well."
Charles F. Saul and F. H. Ebeling
were rushed with seed orders. They
do not handle plants. Manager Day,
of Ebeling 's, said business night and
day was rushed. Sales are transacted
in five languages, according to a sig^i
posted in the store, which is going some.
George B. Hart; of Eochester, re-
ported a phenomenal sale of plants dur-
ing the early part of the week. The
latter part was given over to the hand-
ling of cut flowers, which were abun-
dant, especially lilies, and of excellent
quality.
Easter business in Buffalo, N. Y., un-
doubtedly was found equal, if not su-
perior, to all previous records. W. J.
Palmer expressed this opinion and
added: "People haVe lots of money to
spend and are buying freely." The
stores offered extra special attractions.
Palmer's uptown store showed an im-
mense cross in the central window. One
day it was filled with Azalea Ver-
vseneana and on Good Friday with
Spiraea Japonica.
S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, had a win-
dow of combination baskets. Outside
stood a splendid specimen of a lavender
rhododendron, dressed with ribbons of
the same color.
Barney Myers, of Buffalo, was called
on to deliver his best from the Palmer
Greenhouses, at Lancaster, and re-
sponded as he has done for many Easters.
Will Palmer had given me the last
word in a hurried talk and, with steam
up, I was heading for the station when
I suddenly was seized in the vise-like
grip of Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroe-
schell boiler fame, who, on my stating I
was bound for Canada, charged me with
Easter business in Syracuse, N. Y.,
fully w^arranted the thorough prepara-
tions made by the trade to handle it.
W. E. Day moved enough plants to
keep two stores busy day and night,
in addition to a tremendous run on cut
flowers. Basket co.nceits, in which
heather largely figured, were a leading
feature.
The Bard Floral Co. rented a large
family residence adjoining its store and
struck a happy idea in arranging each
room with one kind of plants. There
was a rhododendron room, a rose room,
etc., which pleased the patrons. ' ' My
first experience of an Easter at retail
was all right," commented Robert
Bard.
Bellamy Bros, relied on their own
supply and did well. Good geraniums
were shorn of their blooms to give the
Easter stock the preference. There
were exceptionally good prospects for
later business.
Gust^ Bartholme reports his usual
s^jiwCMibry run at this season. Lilies
wew^Bne and a batch of Narcissus
Emperor and Empress were considered
the finest in Syracuse.
Peter Kay, being located close to the
principal cemeteries and favored with
good weather, disposed of nearly all his
seasonable stock, retaining only a good
batch for later business.
The P. R. Quinlan estate disposed of
an immense quantity of stock at its
two stores and the big range of glass,
supervised by Edward Dwyer, who may
well be proud of the finest lot of pot-
grown roses ever produced. There were
about 1,000 plants, chiefly Magna
Charta and Oakmont, the latter being
found preferable in all respects to
Ulrich Brunner, in addition to a host
of ramblers of many varieties. Jessie
is considered the best of the baby
ramblers; it is a gem. Roses for cut-
ting were in fine shape. There was a
house of Kaiserin in first crop; plants
10 years old in full vigor, with perfect
foliage and uniformity of stems and
buds. Mrs. Shawyer is a most profit-
able winter and summer variety. Mr.
Dwyer said, however, with emphasis:
' * Mrs. Russell is queen of them all, but
cast your eyes over that bed of Lady
Hillingdon; can you beat themf"
These were grown at the cooler end of
the house, at a temperature not higher
than 56 degrees. Killarney, at the up-
per end of the house, was in equally
fine shape. Milady was being dried off
for summer forcing; also Hadley. Mr.
being a spy. I felt like exploding, but
Fred, who is an expert in the boiler busi-
ness, declared the water gauge registered
safe; so, under a full head of steam, we
parted, he for Chicago and I for Canada.
"Another record-breaking Easter busi-
ness," commented Manager George
Geraghty of Dunlop 's Flower Store, To-
ronto. "We certainly feel encouraged
in our new home, and although removed
from the principal avenue of traffic, the
results brought by our increased facili-
ties to show the goods and by judicious
advertising certainly are beyond our
most sanguine expectations." The
building acquired last fall is complete
in every detail, for handling both a
wholesale and retail business. The store
is handsome and arranged to give the
decorator full scope. ■ Frank Dunlop
drew my attention to some perfectly
flowered French hydrangeas, azaleas,
rhododendrons and lilacs as samples, at
prices that place Toronto in the front
rank as a flower city.
H. Dillemuth and Charles Tidy, of
Toronto, had similar experiences of big
business, while Frank Duffert and
Thomas Manton reported conditions in
the flower market the best on record.
It is seldom that one sees orchids on
sale in a market booth, but Mr. Manton
had them and found them profitable.
A severe hail storm hit Jamestown, N.
Y., on the evening of April 20. It was
reported that the Lake View Rose
Gardens were heavy losers. W. M.
CINCINNATI.
The Market.
The Easter business was good. The
supply was unusually large. The heavy
demand arrived at the last minute and
April 22 saw the buyers for the retail
stores hustling to get stock together for
the late rush at their stores.
American Beauties were in good sup-
ply and sufficient for all demands. Other
roses cleared well. Carnations were
short of actual needs, although the cut
was extremely large. Easter lilies were
in such a large supply that they failed
to clean up entirely. The blooms gen-
erally were of high quality. Bulbous
stock sold well. Sweet peas, too, cleared
nicely. Valley and orchids were limited
in supply and sold well. Other good
offerings included callas, snapdragons
and violets. The blooming plant busi-
ness was large, while decorative plants
had a fair sale.
Various Notes.
J. A. Peterson & Sons had a fine lot
of hydrangeas for Easter.
L. H. Kyrk reports the best Easter
business he ever had. Among other
items, he disposed of 25,000 poeticus
narcissi from George Klotter.
The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
reported its Easter business as exceed-
ing that of any other Easter.
E. A. Forter has set May 1 as the
date of the formal opening of his new
store at 128 West Fourth street.
M. Anderson and George Frisch, Jr.,
of Dayton, O., were in this city re-
cently.
C. E. Critchell featured splendid
American Beauties and Easter lilies for
his holiday business. C. H. H.
Mankato, Kan. — The business of A. J.
Kramer has been growing so splendidly
that more room and greater facilities
are necessary. Two houses, each 20x
100, and a 2-story office building, 22x40»
will be erected this spring.

NEW YORK.
The Market.
No other Easter in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant has equaled that of
1916 in volume or profit. This may be
safely said of every department of the
business. The ribbon houses had their
banner season; the supply houses had
nothing seasonable remaining; the plant
growers sold every worthy blooming
plant in their greenhouses; the whole-
salers were practically sold out when
the sun rose Easter morning and at
noon every retail store in the city was
well cleaned up on both cut flowers and
plants. No better weather could be de-
sired.
The night of April 22 was a historic
one in the wholesale cut flower section
of the trade. It was quiet and reposeful
up to nearly midnight, when the in-
vasion began. When peace was pro-
claimed, hardly a vestige remained of
the big supply of the late afternoon.
Prices were reasonable; not much above
the figures of a good Saturday, except
for the flowers on which there was a
shortage, such as orchids and valley.
These broke their records for the year,
some valley touching $8 per hundred
and select cattleyas selling at $2 each.
Roses of all kinds were in great de-
mand, but prices remained reasonable at
all times, although there was no surplus.
American Beauties did not go above 50
cents each at any hour, and 35 to 40
cents for the best was the evening quo-
tation. A few Hadley sold at 60 cents
each, the record for the day. Ophelia,
Hoosier Beauty, Killarney Brilliant,
Double White Killarney, Eadiance, Mrs.
Ward, Mock and Russell sold at 10 to 12
cents each for select stock. Brunners
were excellent but too few for the de-
mand. Prima Donna sold out quickly.
Sunburst was a general, favorite. In
fact, there are no roses coming to this
market that did not find a ready sale.
Before the bulk of the shipments ar-
rived th^ best white carnations brought
6 cents each; some say they received
even more. But the demand lessened
and 5 cents and 4 cents each was the
general price as the night wore on. A
good many sold after midnight at 3
cents, but there was no surplus. Most
of the carnations were splendid stock.
The naturallp^ increased demand for
Easter lilies 4id not seem to influence
the price and there was always enough.
The prophecy of 10-cent top was ful-
filled and they had to be especially good
to command that figure; 8 cents was
the recognized top for the cut lilies,
and many sold at 6 cents and under.
Valley was one of the surprises, as
much as 8 cents being paid for it. But
of all the Easter flowers orchids at-
tracted the most attention, because of
the shortage; there were none obtain-
able after noon on Saturday. The gar-
denia supply was large and prices for
the best advanced only slightly. This
week the street merchants have them
again.
The violet season ended with Easter.
None sold under 50 cents per hundred.
It was a good ending to a bad season.
A wonderful display of tulips was seen
and prices did not advance. A few
southern gladioli came in, with a small
supply of excellent Spanish iris and
plenty of daffodils and callas. There
were pansies and daisies innumerable;
also calendulas, mignonette, stocks and
snapdragon, the latter especially worthy.
Added to all these was the sweet pea
supply, the short-stemmed ones in little
favor; the Spencers of rare size and
beauty.
Many of the wholesalers also handled
blooming plants on commission and dis-
posed of everything they had to offer.
Various Notes.
Now, with renewed enthusiasm, prep-
arations have begun for the proper cele-
bration of Mothers' day and Memorial
day.
Much sympathy is felt for C. F.
Bertanzell, of Roslyn, Jj. I., in the sud-
den death of Mrs. Bertanzell, April i7.
The Easter flower display at the Pros-
pect park greenhouses, Brooklyn, drew
many thousands.
The department stores did an enor-
mous business in their flower sections
for Easter. C. C. Trepel, in New York,
and Joseph Trepel, in Brooklyn, were
certainly the Billy Sundays of floricul-
ture in the scope of their missionary
work.
F. A. Bolze, of Pleasantville, N. Y.,
died April 19, at the age of 72 years.
He was one of the old-time florists, of
excellent reputation and widely re-
spected. His specialty for many years
had been the growing of smilax, which
was handled by Badgley & Bishop. Mr.
Badgley attended the interment.
George McGarrett, for twenty-five
years salesman and bookkeeper for
Alex. McConnell, died at his home in
the Adirondacks April 3. He leaves a
widow and daughter. Burial was in
Woodlawn and many floral tributes
were sent by his employer and friends
in the trade.

annual meeting of the Cut Flower Ex-
change will be held.
Siebrecht Bros, have removed to 605

Traendly & Schenck say the Easter
business was ahead of any in their long
experience and so say all the pioneers,
J. K. All«n. Walter Sheridan, P. J.
Smith, Gunther Bros, and all the rest
of them.
Guttman & Raynor had two winners
last week in good supplies of Prima
Donna and Brunner roses.
Big crowds continue at the plant auc-
tions on Vesey street. MacNiff's im-
portations are continuously arriving. In
the three stores over fifty employees
are engaged.
More than forty society weddings are
scheduled for the present week. The
trade has a wonderful May ahead.
Easter in Brooklyn was a success.
The wholesale florists found ready sale
for everything. Prices were satisfac-
tory. All the retailers are well satis-
fied.
J. V. Phillips and Mrs. Phillips will

The steamer from Bermuda that ar-
rived April 20 brought 590 boxes of

signed to florists but nearly all to an
express company or a customhouse bro-
ker for forwarding inland.
In May, 1915, McHutchison & Co.
purchased the building at 95 Chambers
street, running through to 77 Reade
street, a full block long. The building
consists of five floors, basement and sub-
basement. The firm will occupy the full
first floor May 1, 27x150 feet, which
will give them room to grow. Since
they commenced business fifteen years
ago, they have moved four times, and
each time they have doubled the occu-
pied space.
NOTES FROM FOREIGN iSAiNDS
London, Ungland. — A number of ship-
ments of Japanese lily bulbs from cold
storage recently have gone to America
to relieve the shortage there. Because
continental markets are closed and the
British market dull there is a surplus of
bulbs in storage here this season.
Yokohama, Japan. — The success which
attended the forcing of Formosa lilies
in America last season, when they were
more floriferous and longer stemmed
than any others, has resulted in a de-
mand that will clear every bulb of the
1916 crop in Formosa. The proportion
of large-sized bulbs is expected to be
rather less than usual this season and a
little more than the usual premium is
being asked.
Aalsmeer, Holland. — The prices of
Dutch flowers have decreased since Ger-
many prohibited their importation, but
not to the degree expected. , An impor-
tant trade is developing with Austrian
cities, Austria having placed no restric-
tions on imports. The German decree
applies to all live plants and parts of
plants for decorative purposes as well
as to cut flowers. An exception is made
of bulbs and tubers, so that the usual
trade in tulip, Hyacinth and narcissus
bulbs is expected this autumn.
IfOndon, England. — The absence of
travelers for Holland bulb houses is a
matter for comment in the trade. While
no announcement has been made, it
seems plain that many men who regu-
larly visit England each spring have
been refused permission to make their
customary rounds this season.
St Peterport, Guernsey. — Growers on
the island, both of vegetables and flow-
ers, have had a disastrous season, more
because of the uncertainty of transpor-
tation than because of low markets.
There have been days when no sailing
occurred, instead of the several sailings
incident to a normal season. Many of
the regular boa^s have been sunk by
German submarines. Frequently carters
have waited with their loads on the open
quay for eighteen hours in rain or snow
and many times shipments have been
not worth loading when the opportunity
arrived. Early in March a mass meet-
ing of some 300 growers was held in
New Market hall and a conference with
the authorities somewhat improved con-
ditions.

-JIht Florists^ Review
,Al>BiI. 27. 1916.
WASHINGTON, D. 0.
The Market
It is generally conceded that the
Easter business was as good as any in
the history of the trade. Everything
sold well and good prices prevailed.
The main story is on orchids, for
many of the florists were caught. The
warning had gone forth that, there
would be a shortage of these, but a ma-
jority of the retailers paid no heed
and continued taking orders, which they
later found they were unable to fill. It
was practically impossible to pick up
a single orchid in the city. Orders had
been taken early in the week for Eas-
ter delivery at $9 and $10 per dozen;
Saturday and Sunday they were worth
any price that might be asked for them.
Gardenias sold readily at $3 per
dozen. Sweet peas were in heavy de-
mand and the prices ranged from $1.50
to $3. These prices held up during
the early part of the present Week.
White and yellow daisies were in sdine
demand at $1.50 per hundred, and nas-
turtiums at 15 cents a bunch sold well
for use in corsage bouquets. The de-
mand for valley from out-of-town points
caused a jump in the price from $6
to $8 per hundred and late in the week
it was hard to get at that figure.
American Beauty roses at $9 and $10
per dozen moved rapidly and there was
a shortage during the closing hours of
the week. The price has since receded
to $6 per dozen. All roses moved well.
The sale this year was far better than
usual. As a rule, the retailers do not
do much with roses during the Easter
season.
Those who failed to place their or-
ders for carnations early in the week
faced a shortage and many orders were
turned down. The ruling price was $5
and $6 per hundred and there is little
likelihood of much of a reduction, as
the growers are apparently holding off
in anticipation of Mothers' day. May
14. 4) number of growers also are off
cVop, so that there will be no over-
supply.
Gladioli, while good, are not in de-
mand. Mignonette is fine, but is mov-
ing slowly. Snapdragon is popular and,
in fact, is much more in demand than a
year a^o. Pink sold out completely.
The season for daffodils is about over
and tulips also are on the wane.
The sale of potted plants of all kinds
was exceptionally good. The weather
was such as to make deliveries easy
and the business moved along smoothly.
Various Notes.
The window exhibition at the store
of George H. Shaffer created much com-
ment last week and incidentally won
first prize in the contest operated
by the International Correspondence
School and the Washington Chamber of
Commerce. The work of getting the
window ready for the contest was done
by Mr. Supper. The color scheme was
in yellow and pink. Tausendschon
roses, violets and yellow lupines were
used in profusion, while as a center-
piece Easter lilies rested upon gold
velour. The first prize consists of a
full correspondence course in the school,
while to the decorator goes a specially
designed medal. Z. D. Blackistone was
the florist member of the committee of
judges. A handsome window at the
store of Gude Bros. Co. received honor-
able mention.
A bill has been introduced into the
Senate (S. 5677) "for the proper ob-
servance of Sunday as a day of rest
in the District of Columbia," which,

The Market.
The Easter business was quite a con-
trast to that of last year. While it
was cool for this late in the season,
the weather was clear and agreeable.
Business as a whole was good and stock
was plentiful, with some few exceptions
in the cut flower market. Boses were
plentiful and, while they all moved, the
prices on the longer grades were hsirdly
consistent with the quality. Callas
were in small demand and few were
moved, even at low prices. Cut Easter
lilies sold well, but as pot plants they
sold at extremely low prices. Sweet
peas were in heavy supply, yet far from
sufficient for the demand.
Good orchid peas brought good prices,
but the short sold at lower prices. Dou-
ble violets sold well, but the stock was
not of exceptional quality. Singles were
poor and did not sell well at any price;
a quantity of these had been kept too
long a time and fell to pieces. Carna-
tions early in the week were poor, but
later the quality improved and the de-
mand was good. Valley was scarce and
sold at high prices, and cattleyas were
out of the market. Gardenias sold well
at fair prices. There was a large lot
of Asparagus plumosus thrown on the
market last week and it sold com-
pletely.
Pot plants and made-up baskets and
boxes sold nicely. Azaleas, hydrangeas,
rhododendrons and spiraeas moved well.
Some few rambler roses were seen, but
not a large quantity of them. Potted
lilies did not sell so well as expected.
Bulbous stock was plentiful and every-
thing in sight cleared nicely.
Club Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club was held
April 24, President Hamilton presiding.
The attendance was small on account
of the rush attending Easter. The
schedule for the Maryland Week show,
to be held in November, 1916, was dis-
tributed to those present and will be
mailed to absent members.
Mr. Colyn, a salesman for Holland
bulbs, spoke on the diflSculties encoun-
tered by the exporters of his country in
getting goods to this country, particu-
larly nursery stock.
Various Notes.
P. C. Erdman had a stall at the north-
west corner of Eutaw and Lexington
streets and displayed a good line of gar-
den roses in pots and a number of high-
grade rhododendrons.
James Glass specialized in hydran-
geas, spirseas and heather for Easter.
His Pink Pearl rhododendrons were ex-
ceptionally fine and sold well.
L. H. A. Klein featured a number of
potted hyacinths and tulips, of which
he disposed completely.
Stevenson Bros, had a heavy cut of
Killarney and Killamey Brilliant roses
of exceptionally good quality.
Edward Kress showed a fine lot of
pot roses in flower and azaleas and
lilacs, which moved quickly.
The Leo Niessen Co. handled some
fine orchid-flowering sweet peas and
good valley. A heavy crop of plumosus
was unloaded by this company.
C. Fred Pauth, of WoOdlawn, and
the Baltimore Cut Flower Co. installed
delivery trucks last week. F. C. Bauer
has purchased a new touring car and
Charles F. Feast is riding around in a
new Overland. Herbert Wagner also
has a smart touring car.
Samuel Feast & Sons last week sold
an exceptionally fine lot of potted
plants, principally ramblers and lilies.
They had a heavy cut of peas and snai>-
dragons. W. F. E.

The Market.
Easter business was excellent. A gen-
eral increase in trade was reported by
everybody and all seemed well satisfied
with the number of orders received.
Ideal weather prevailed and helped to
clean up all stock. Pot plants sold
well. Lilies and hydrangeas were the
leaders and there was an excellent lot
of them on the market. Baskets
filled with plants and cut flowers sold
fast and at somewhat higher price*.
The cut flower trade was good. There
was plenty of stock to be had and
everything was cleaned up before noon
April 22. Sweet peas were leaders for
corsage bouquets. Boses, carnations and
other cut stock sold evenly. Prices
were slightly advanced. Beauties and
Bussells were the leaders in roses. Out-
door stock had little effect on the cut
flower market. Fruit trees, some of the
shrubs and bulbous stock are in full
bloom.
Variou8 Notes.
Arthur Newell reports the largest
trade he has ever had, particularly in
pot plants, of which he sold more than
he had expected.
Miss J. E. Murray had a splendid
Easter trade. She was sold out (com-
pletely and had no trouble ii^ ^jiyer-
ing orders.
The Peterson Floral Co. had a good
Easter display in its large window, but
by noon on Easter the display was en-
tirely gone.
The Alpha Floral Co. sold out com-
Sletely. Beauties and Bussells in bas-
ets were snapped up quickly.
A. F. Barbe says he did the largest
Easter business in years. His ceme-
tery trade was beyond his expectations.
He sold a large quantity of pot plants
as well as cut flowers.
The Rosery made a specialty of rus-
tic baskets filled with bulbous stock
and all of them sold well.
T. J. Noll & Co, report their Easter
business double that of last year. They
cleared entirely of plants and cut
flowers. The large quantities of roses,
lilies and sweet peas were sold before
noon on Easter.
Henry Kusik & Co. sold 125,000 cut
ferns last week and the sale of other
lines was in proportion. An immense
quantity of potted lilies was sold.
W. J. Barnes had a busy Easter. All
the palms and ferns were sent out for
decorations for churches and weddings.
His Easter business increased consider-
ably over that of last year.
The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. cleaned up on everything. A large
quantity of out-of-town funeral work
came in during the Easter rush and kept
all hustling to get orders out on time.
The W. L. Rock Flower Co. sold more

than 900 baskets and novelties, most of
-which were filled with plants. This
concern sold everything on hand.
Samuel Murray reports a larger Eas-
ter trade than in any previous year. The
hydrangeas grown at his greenhouses
were extra fine and well colored. Novel-
ties and baskets were in heavy de-
mand.
Ed. Humfeld is well satisfied with
the way business came in. He sold a
larger quantity of lilies than at any
other Easter, and says he thinks the
business as a whole exceeded that of
last year. W. J. B.

Various Notes.
Lfast week the business district was a
large flower show. It did not matter
which way one turned, the eyes were
sure to catch a large display. A large
proportion of the retail business in this
city is in the hands of the Greek florists,
carried on for the most part in the de-
partment and candy stores occupying the
best corners. There were lilies, roses,
tulips, ferns and primroses. A fine show
they made; nowhere could one find bet-
ter stock. It was clean, well grown and
in good shape. The retailers left noth-
ing to chance, and decorated the plants
with the best and latest in ribbons and
pot covers.
Will Desmond, manager for L. S.
Donaldson's flower department, outdid
himself this year. Although always in
the lead with a huge show of Easter
stock, this season he added a wonderful
lot of novelties picked up at the Na-
tional Flower Show.
Mrs. A. Swanson's store was gay
with all kinds of Easter stock. There
were handsomely displayed potted lilies,
azaleas, roses, tulips, orchids, rhododen-
drons and hydrangeas. In baskets and
boxes crotons, lilies, Boston ferns, hy-
drangeas and azaleas were worked with
good effect.
"'Miiife H. B. Whitted had a temporary
branch store near the Tenth street and
Nicollet avenue store. A fine lot of nov-
elties in vases, mats, baskets and jar-
dinieres was on show. Rambler roses,
baby ramblers, French hydrangeas, lilies,
azaleas and rhododendrons were in fine
shape. Miss Wihitted said business was
first-rate.
The Lakewood Cemetery Association
sold all its Easter stock and some cus-
tomers had to go short. Lilies were a
feature and second to none in the city.
A batch of 10,000 tulips that had been in
the ground outdoors all winter, in spite
of 35 degrees below zero, were of the
finest qu^ity.
Max Kaiser was delivering stock as
fast as his staff could pack it. He ex-
pected to sell everything.
Wessling's Greenhouses had disposed
of all lilies and other Easter stock at top
prices.
The Minneapolis Floral Co. had hard
work shipping Easter stock. All azaleas,
rhododendrons and the bulk of the city
stocks were sold. The management re-
ported better prices than last year.
The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses had
a quick sale of all stock.
The Hiawatha Gardens Co. reported
all Easter stock sold.
Hans Eosacker had a fine cut of roses
and carnations, with many advance
orders booked.
Nearly every florist in Minneapolis
had display advertisements in the local
papers. Each one tried to beat his com-
petitor, both in style of the ads an:d in
the quality and quantity of stock dis-
plajred at his store. It was roughly
estimated that the florists placed on sale
for Easter 250,000 lilies.
William F. Holmes had an attractive
store for Easter week. His good taste
was apparent everywhere.
H. F. Baker, of Lake Harriet, was
busy with a full line of Easter stock. He
reported good trade in all branches.
With many advance orders, Eice Bros,
had a busy time, both in cut flowers and
sundries. Everyone was working hard
and overtime.
Amundson, the Florist, had a fine ar-
rangement of baskets of plants and cut
flowers.
The New York Florists were crowded
from top to bottom with potted stock.
They specialized in individual plants in
preference to made-up stock and had a
large sale.
The Sunshine Florist had a handsome
display of Easter goods, both in the
store and windows. F. E. B.
BUFFALO.
Tbe Market.
Business was extraordinarily good
this Easter. The majority of retailers
had a complete clean-out and in some
instances there was difficulty in filling
orders for the lack of stock. Beauties
were far from sufficient in quantity,
though of good quality. Other varie-
ties of roses were limited in supply. On
Saturday, March 23, at 5 p. m,, there
was not a rose to be had. White ones
were cleared along with the others.
Eussell and Ophelia were in great de-
mand. Carnations also were scarce. It
is not often that all the Enchantress
carnations sell with no difficulty, unless
they are used for funeral work. They
were in much heavier demand than
usual, because of the small supply of
bulbous stock. There are a few daffo-
dils still to be had, but of an inferior
grade. Jonquils are about done for.
Easter lilies, which a week previously
were a drug on the market, at Easter
were held at a premium. Short or long,
they all sold rapidly. Prices were some-
what higher than usual. Callas were
sufficient for the demand and sold
quickly. Sweet peas were the feature
of the market and there were some ele-
gant ones. Many growers say that
sweet peas are better this year than
they have been in several years. Some
excellent snapdragons were available.
As yet the supply of lilacs has made no
impression on the market. The demand
for violets went beyond all expecta-
tions and there was an unusual call for
singles. Mignonette was sufficient for
all needs. Orchids were scarcer than
ever before. Gardenias were substi-
tuted for them in many instances. The
gardenias were of good quality and
plentiful. Greens, too, were abundant,
but at the end of the busy day there
was little left.
Blooming plants, such as hydrangeas,
azaleas, tulips, rambler roses and rho-
dodendrons, met with an almost unpar-
alleled sale. From the appearance of
some of the retail stores on Sunday, it
was evident that they had an entire
clean-out. There was a large demand
for hydrangeas trimmed up m baskets.
The rainy weather on Easter Sunday
kept a good many people at home,
greatly decreasing the call for corsages.
Many inquiries are coming in for box-
wood bushes and bay trees for the com-
ing season.
Various Notes.
An interi^sting feature in W. J. Pal-
mer & Son's branch store window was
a huge cross filled with azalea and
spiraea plants. They had a force work-
ing day and night for the entire week.
The delivery problem does not seem
to be solved yet. Considerable diffi-
culty is experienced in getting orders
delivered on time in such a rush. On
Easter morning many retailers had to
call on other delivery concerns in order
to get their parcels out on time.

PBOVIDENCE.
The Market.
A thick mist and drizzling rain made
Easter Sunday a day of general disap-
pointment, so far as the weather was
concerned. It began to threaten Fri-
day^ and Saturday was cloudy, with
mists and showers. Fortunately, tha
majority of orders had been placed
earlier in the y^eek, but. belated pur-
chases and telepbone ord^Qrs combined
to give the dealers one of the most
complete clean-ups ever experienced,
notwithstanding the unusual abundance
of plants and blooms. Several florists
conducted branch stores, while all the
department stores and many drug and
grocery stores and other places had
large stocks, mostly of potted plants.
There was a good supply of lUies and
bulbous stock, with rose bushes, spirsBas
and azaleas in great quantities. In cut
flowers, violets showed a shortage, but
the gap was filled by the fine supply of
sweet peas. For the best stock the
prices ruled about double the normal
figures and even the poorest offerings
were eagerly sought at some advance
over regular prices.
Various Notes.
Johnston Bros, had a branch store at
220 Westminster street and Were kept
on the jump. ; '^
T. O 'Connor reports one of the busiest
Easters in his long experience, and that
is going some.
F. Macrae & Sons had nearly 20,000
fine lily plants and could have sold
twice that number.
John Macrae did a big retail business
at a downtown stand where he has been
for several years.
Charles Hunt was unable to fill all
his orders on potted stock.
Macnair's two stores were crowded
and, notwithstanding nearly a dozen
extra clerks, he was short-handed.
Ed. Brooke had several men on duty
all night Friday, preparing retail orders
for shipment.
Smith, the Florist, had half a dozen
autos from Friday noon until late Sun-
day making deliveries.
Miss Nellie O'Connor stopped taking
orders early Friday, after which she
would make no promise for delivery.
Koppelman & Co. had one of the big-
gest runs on everything in the cut
flower line since opening their present
store. They cleaned out practically
everything in both ranges of houses,
at Oaklawn and Riverside. W. H. M.
Waxahachle, Tex. — Bird Forrest lost
at least half of his glass in the hail

the panes, stock was badly cut up.

Results bring advertising.
The Eeview brings resulte.
Eastee developed nothing in the line
of rambler roses to contest the leadership
of Tausendschon. It is the best pot plant
I of the generation.
Many carnation growers now are busy
planting young stock in the field, the
first time within memory that this task
has been begun the week after Easter.
There never was a year in which the
departure of the Easter plants was more
wdcome. To finish a crop of bedding
plants in less than a month from the
Easter stock requires genius of a high
order.
The retailer wants lilies with two or
three blooms per stalk — the customer who
orders a dozen lilies does not want them
on two stems but on four or five. The
grower meets this condition by using
small bulbs and planting out in benches,
or two bulbs to the pot.
As an Easter remembrance from Sec-
retary A. F. J. Baur, members of the
American Carnation Society received the
annual volume, this time containing the
proceedings of the twenty-fifth conven-
tion, list of members and several illus-
trations. The frontispiece is a portrait
of President Joseph H. Hill.
Retail florists have been slow to take
hold of boxwood plants this season, per-
haps because many found them slow sale
last spring and perhaps only waiting, as
usual, for the passing of Easter. The
boxwood is one of the safest buys a re-
tail florist can. Make; if he does not sell
the plants he can cut them up and make
wreaths for Memorial Day.
Fob pot plant purposes Crimson Ram-
bler is down and out; its sport, Ema
Teschendorff, has taken its place.
Yvonne Easier, while one of the finest
of polyantha roses, is not acceptable to
the retail trade; it drops its petals too
quickly to be satisfactory either to the
retailer or his customers.
One of the best azaJeas noted this
Easter was Daybreak, a variety found in
few of the catalogues, but one of ex-
ceptional merit for late work; the retail
stores that had it found it sold at sight.
The variety is what the French describe
as tardif, so that the great size of the
semi-double flowers and the even color of
le point du jour do not count in its favor
except where time is no object.

A SPLENDID EASTEB.
One who reads the city news-letters
in this issue of The Review will come
to the conclusion that probably this has
been the most generally satisfactory
Easter in the history of the flower busi-
ness. Weather conditions, while not
ideal, were much better than a year
ago, contributing not only to the vol-
ume of business but to the facility with
which it was handled.
It is human nature for the man who
did a record business to make a noise
about it, and for the fellow whose sales
showed a falling off to keep quiet, but
there can be no doubt that last week
the trade as a whole sold more plants
and cut flowers than at any previous
Easter.
Plants have come to occupy first
place in the Easter consideration. Of
course there are exceptions, but in a
general way the plant grower^ had their
banner season, being prepared with
larger stocks than ever before and sell-
ing out almost to the last plant. Hav-
ing bought heavily, naturally the re-
tailers pushed plant sales. Nearly all
of them cleaned up in a fairly satisfac-
tory manner. Where so large a stock is
laid in, it is too much to hope that
every plant will be sold, so that little
is heard of the moderate numbers of
plants left on hand. In general the
plants left were azaleas and hydrangeas
in the larger and more expensive sizes;
the small plants cleaned up completely.
There seems to have been an abun-
dance of lilies almost everywhere, with
the result that wholesale prices, both
for pot plants and cut flowers, did not
run quite so high as in earlier seasons.
While the lily is still the big seller, the
better class of stores used more rose
plants than ever before. Bulbous stock-
was less plentiful than at earlier East-
ers.
The strength of the Easter demand is
best shown by the quantities of cut
flowers sold. In most cases retailers put
off ordering cut stock until they had
made sure of the disposal of their pot
plants. That such great quantities of
stock should be sold under these condi
tions speaks eloquently for the total
volume of business done. In a general
way cut flowers were everywhere in
good supply. Lilies were abundant,
rose crops were large and of fine qual-
ity and carnations were better than
usual at the end of April because of the
cool spring. The lateness of Easter re-
sulted in violets taking a much less con-
spicuous part than usual, the demand
being turned to sweet peas, which every-
where sold better than ever before for
Easter corsage use. In many cases it is
reported that sweet peas were much
more satisfactory than violets ever have
been and it is predicted next year's
earlier Easter will see less call for
violets and more call for sweet peas
than has been the case in other years.
Orchids were unaccountably scarce in
all the principal markets.
It is the general report the trade was
late in starting and that the immense
volume of business was done in a tre-
mendous rush at the last moment. The
problem confronting the trade, for fu-
ture holidays, is to get the buyers
started earlier. How can it be done?
CHICAGO.
Tbe Market.
Throughout the Chicago market there
is but one verdict on the question of
Eastern business, and that is that it
was the best in the history of the
trade.
There were several causes contribut-
ing to the big business. One of them
was the lateness of Easter this year,
which enabled every grower to bring
his crop in at the right time. Of
course, this would not have been possi-
ble if the weather had been warm,
but it was not. Nor is the great im-
provement in general business condi-
tions to be ignored as an element in
the holiday's success. The buying pub-
lic had more money to spend for flow-
ers. Yet, with all this, prices were no
higher than in former years; in fact,
they were a little lower. There was
at no time a slump, but everything
cleared with the exception of short
lilies and a few white flowers.
The early part of last week opened
with a heavy supply of stock and little
evidence of a correspondingly heavy
demand. As a result, wholesalers were
beginniifg to feel apprehensive. But
Thursday, April 20, shipping orders
from distant points began to arrive.
By April 21 shipping orders without
end were pouring into the market from
every point of the compass. The day
following, true to nature, the local
trade's scramble for stock began. And,
as usual, a large proportion of the city
buyers found the market absolutely
cleared of several important it6ms of
Easter stock.
Beauties were extremely scarce and
the quality of most of the small supply
was distinctly inferior, but in spite of
this, all stock, if even passable, sold
at good prices. The rose and carnation
situation of a year ago was practically

duplicated. Everyone anticipated there
would be more than enough roses to
meet the demand and a corresponding
shortage of carnations. Not so, how-
ever. Boses, though in abundant sup-
JI7, cleared in almost every instance,
i^ard, Ophelia and Richmond were far
liort of the demand. When the sup-
ply of sweet peas for corsages proved
unequal to tlie emergency, everyone
seemed to want Mrs. Aaron Ward
roses. Under this heavy demand, the
supply of Wards was soon exhausted.
Ophelia was next brought into requisi-
tion, then Sunburst. Milady, Hoosier
Beauty and Killarney Brilliant enjoyed
a heavy run. Killarney and White
Killarney were in larger supply than
other varieties, but experienced the
least demand. Russell was abundant,
but cleared everywhere, as it was gen-
erally substituted for medium length
Beauties, of which there were but a
few.
Fearing a great shortage in the sup-
ply of carnations, wholesalers had been
advising the use of other stock. As a
result, carnations, though only in mod-
erate supply, were plentiful enough to
fill orders. Splits again were strongly
in evidence, fully twenty per ' cent of
the receipts falling in that class. With
reference to the trend of the demand,
the red varieties exhibited the greatest
activity.
It is quite probable that sweet peas
enjoyed the heaviest demand of any
one item in the market. This is partly
attributable to the rapidly growing cus-
tom of wearing corsages in the Easter
parades and partly to the fact that
violets were in such poor condition that
most wholesalers suggested the use of
sweet peas in their stead. So great
was the demand that long before the

local trade was satisfied, there was not
a pea to be found on the market.
The supply of valley was exhausted
quite early in the rush, and as for
cattleyas, they were not to be had at
any price.
Of Easter lilies, the supply was tre-
mendous, especially of cheap and short-
stemmed stock. But they moved in no
uncertain manner. Every retailer
bought a large number of plants, while
department and even grocery stores
took a hand in the general distribution.
So successful were their combined ef-
forts that almost every window in the
better districts of the city was re-
splendent with plants Easter morning.
In spite of this, however, Easter lilies
did not quite clear. Callas experienced

Holy Thursday, but with its passing
they receded into the background.
Of miscellaneous stock there was
enough to meet all demands, and the
several items moved in a manner that
left little room for complaint. Bulbous
stock cut little figure this year.
In green goods, the only shortage
seemed to be in smilax.
The present week opened with excel-
lent business, but stock, as a natural
consequence of better weather and the
cessation of the heavy demand, is much
more plentiful. Most of the retailers
have a few leftover plants to work off,
and everyone is beginning to get ready
for Mothers' day.

C. W. McKellar notes an increased

year wmb so strong it produced the only

Felix Eeichling says the records show

largest Easter total in the history of
the Peter Reinberg establishment.
One Rudolph Cohn has been arrested
for paying a bill at Charles T. Neig-
lick's with a bad check, pocketing cash
change. The complaint was signed by
Robert D. Vardaman.
Early in the morning of April 21 the
office of the Geo. Wittbold Co., on
Buckingham place, was the scene of
another attempted robbery. Two watch-
men, on duty at the rear, noticed that
the light in the office had been turned
out and one of them went to investi-
gate. He encountered two masked men,
who demanded information as to where
the money was kept. The watchman
refused to answer and was dragged
into the new Wittbold apartment build-
ing and severely beaten. The robbers
escaped. The other watchman called
Louis Wittbold, who had the injured
man taken to the hospital.
N. J. Wietor took time during the
Easter rush to contract for a few train
loads of West Virginia smokeless coal
for next season's supply. He expects
to see a Mothers' day demand almost
equal to that for Easter.

the area covered included Morgan Park,

The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.,
which recently absorbed the James H.
Bice Co., is making a number of alter-
ations in the Bice building, which it
will occupy sometime during May.
A. F. Poehlmann and wife celebrated
their twenty-first wedding anniversary
April 18.
The first word heralding the near ap-
proach of the peony season comes from
H. B. Kenuicott, of Kennicott Bros.
Co. He says there is every indication
of a peony crop of most excellent qual-
ity on the Kennicott farms. Incident-
ally, the firm's Easter business this
year exceeded that of last year by
thirty-five per cent.
Among those whose work attracted
special attention at the annual flower
sale for the benefit of the Memorial
hospital for crippled children, held last
week in the Congress hotel, was B. J.
Sampson, formerly with H. "W. Buck-
bee, Bockford, 111., now gardener for
Edward F. Swift. He staged a table
of blooming plants which were ticketed
"Extra well grown." The sale was a
large one, but most of the stock was
supplied by retailers at prices slightly
above -cost.
Fred Lautenschlager returned home
for Easter, after having made an east-
ern trip that included exhibits at the
Philadelphia and New York shows for
Kroeschell Bros. Co.
Beport comes from the Armitage
Floral Shop, 2065 Milwaukee avenue,
that the volume of this, its first, Eas-
ter's trade far exceeded the hopes of
its proprietors.
According to M. Pekarek, of the Cali-
fornia Floral Co., 3402 West Twenty-
sixth street, he enjoyed such a lively
Easter demand that his stock was com-
pletelj cleared out April 22.
' ICnch of the success of the Easter
business must, in the opinion of FVank
Johnson, of the A. L. Eandall Co., ^be
attributed to general business condi-
tions, which, he says, are the best in
years. To his way of thinking, there
is no excuse for ' an able-bodied man 's
being out of work in the United States.
As they are through grafting rose
stock, Weiland & Bisch are cutting
some splendid Champ Weiland, which
they are sending to the downtown sales-
room for display purposes. The firm
enjoyed the best Easter trade in its
history.
Word comes from AUie Zech, of Zech
& Mann, that they cleared everything
daily from April 20 on, except Easter
lilies. He says orders for Mothers' day
already are coming in.
"From a trade standpoint," says
C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, "this was the greatest Easter on
record." He says the Chicago market
supplied flowers for the whole country,
as there were any number of large
shipments to New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Denver, Winnipeg, Can., and
Dallas, Tex. This, he thinks, surely
establishes Chicago as the nation's
greatest flower market.
By way of celebrating their first
Easter in their present quarters, O. A.
& L. A. Tonner worked late every night
last week.
Members of the trade will be pleased
to learn that Miss Agatha Greeley has
resumed her place with the John
Eruchten Co. Miss Zandra Anderson
is now quite recovered and at her desk.

loaded down with cut stock as this
year, and the quality was excellent.
Large consignments came in daily last
week and an extra large supply arrived
April 21 and 22. Roses wei-e abundant;
only the fancy grades brought a good
price. Among these were |lussells,
Ophelias, Wards and Hoosier beauties.
Carnations, too, were abundant and the
prices on these dropped to $3 and $4
per hundred. Although the demand for
them was large, it did not consume the
supply. Sweet peas glutted the mar-
ket. Orchids were scarce and the de-
mand for them was large. There was
a large cut of lilies and these were sold
at $12.50 per hundred. Snapdragons
did not sell so well. Bulbous stock was
at its height. The demand for tulips,
daffodils, valley and Dutch hyacinths
was large. There also was a good sup-
ply of mignonette, daisies, stocks and
forget-me-nots. Greens were plentiful.
On the whole, the demand the first part
of the week was somewhat slow, but by
Friday shipping orders were numerous.
A large local demand cleaned the mar-
ket Saturday. Lilies, the main Easter
flowers, were overplentiful, both in cut
stock and pot plants.

The Eeview's advertisers are again
thankful for the many telegraph orders
received for Easter. F. H. Weber says
his advertisement paid him especially
well.
George Waldbart's Easter business
was large. He was completely sold out
of blooming plants early Sunday morn-
ing. Extra fine rhododendrons, azaleas
and Tausendschon roses were seen here.
Fred C. Weber did a hustling Easter
business and disposed of a tremendous
amount of stock. His specimen rambler
roses, lilies, rhododendrons, azaleas and
other plants were equal to the best seen
anywhere.
Miss M. S. Newman and the Ayres
Floral Co. had a splendid trade. Bulb-
ous stock in pans, hydrangeas, lilies
and azaleas had a great sale at these
places. The pot plant business greatly
exceeded that in cut flowers.
The Kelley Floral Co. and Ostertag
Bros, used vacant stores as annexes for
the large plant trade, which was the
best in years.
A big Easter rush, the biggest in
their experience, was reported by
Grimm & Gorly. Their enlarged store
looked like a flower show.
David Geddis, manager of Vander-
voort's flower department, showed some
of the finest blooming plants in gay
Easter dress. .He reports a good sale
of lily plants at 50 cents each.
E. W. Guy, the St. Clair Floral Co.,
Gust Grossart and' Henry Emunds, all
leading Belleville florists, say Easter
trade was as good as any in the past.
Blooming plants, as usual, had the call.
C. Young & Sons Co., at Fourteenth
and Olive streets, attracted the atten-
tion of the Easter plant buyers with a
magnificent plant display.
Fred H. Weber's show house was
ablaze with a handsome plant display,
which brought him good returns in
Easter orders.
Sanders, Young Bros., J. W. Boerm,
Kalisch Bros. Floral Co. and H. Young
& Son report a large business in all
lines.
In the south end, Windier, Schoenle,
Eggeling, Beyer and Bergstennann re-
port a great sale of plants. Lilies, as
usual, had the call. Attractive window
displays were seen at these stores.
Kruse, Bruenig and Meyer had excel-
lent displays in their show houses and
all did a rushing business last week.
The north end florists, the Bentzen
Floral Co., Brix, Mullanphy, Koenig
Floral Co. and Meinhardt, had the usual
heavy Easter business. Cut flowers and
plants sold well.
The Schackelford Nursery Co. sup-
plied the west end florists with a large
quantity of excellent outdoor bulbous
stock. The daffodils and Darwin tulips
were of extra fine quality.
The Retail Florists' Association held
its monthly meeting April 17, at the
Mission Inn Garden. Owing to the
Easter preparations, the attendance was
small. No business of importance was
transacted, but all matters were laid
aside for the next meeting. May 15.
George Angermueller 's Easter ship-
ping orders in supplies were larger than
ever. He says the southwestern florists
are largely calling on this market for
supplies and cut flowers.

ceived a large shipment of florists' sup-
plies last week, in good time for Eas-

PFTT.ADELPHIA.
The Easter Market.
Easter brought the greatest demand
for plants and flowers that Philadelphia
has ever experienced. The general
prosperity of the country, the splendid
condition of the stock and the ex-
tremely favorable weather combined to
bring the most satisfactory results.
Considerably over one-half of the
value of greenhouse products this Eas-
ter was in plants. Every variety of
plants that was well grown and success-
fully timed sold well, at prices rather
better than those of last season. Lilies
were in heavy supply. Most of them
were giganteum; the rest were mnlti-
flonim and Formosa; the latter were
grown for cutting. The average price
on lilies was $10 to $12 per hundred;
short-stemmed and poor stock sold at
$6 to $8 per hundred. The large num-
ber of these short or poor lilies was a
drawback to the general satisfaction.
There were more spirseas than had been
anticipated. Prices ranged from 35
cents to $1 each. Some sparsely flow-
ered spiraeas were left over and some
were late. Most of the spiraeas were
Gladstone. There was a larger number
of the pink Queen Alexandra (than
usual, which, when well done, was pop-
ular. Azaleas were fine, the carried-
over plants particularly so. Practically
everything in the shape of a respect-
ably flowered azalea, of whatever color
it might be, was sold.
Roses showed a larger percentage of
late plants than any other kind of
blooming stock forced. The large,
strongly growing varieties led; Tau-
sendschon was first; Hiawatha, Dorothy
Perkins, Lady Gay and Excelsa fol-
lowed. The trained plants were rare.

Most of them were just grown into per-
fect specimens of the bush rose. T£e
baby type showed improvement. Baby
Rambler has been discarded by the
wide-awakes. Its place is taken by
Orleans, Phyllis, Erna Teschendorff and
Ellen Poulsen. Quite a lot of Magna
Charta and some of the better hybrids
also were offered.
The hydrangeas, through alum or iron
filings or something, seemed to show a
decided predilection for Alice blue,
which color seemed popular. Another
point of interest in the hydrangeas is
the gradual advance of some of the
finer French varieties in popularity;
fhes^ are more refined in appearance than
Otaksa. Owing to their different na-
tures, each of these varieties requires
skill in timing to flower them all at
once. Rhododendrons were good and
a. little more plentiful than in previous
seasons. Genistas are retrograding.
While beautiful with their lovely yel-
low flowers and delicate green foliage,
they are fearfully perishable, even un-
der favorable conditions. Lilac, valley
in pots and pans, daisies, cinerarias and
deutzias were all grown in moderate
numbers. The bulbous flowers had a
great following; they were not equal to
•tihe demand. Hyacinths led at ad-
vanced prices; daffodils and tulips also
were largely used.

In the foliage plants, great numbers
were sold; palms, largely in decorative

sufficient to consume much that re-
mained. Prices were excellent.
The sweet pea undoubtedly was the
leading Easter flower. The supply of
peas was nowhere equal to the demand.
This is due partly to the fact that it
is well-nigh impossible to produce
enough sweet peas for a late Easter,
when violets are out of the running,
and partly to the fact that the growers
of these dainty flowers had not made
the most of their opportunity. The
timing was bad. The height of the
sweet pea crop passed with many grow-
ers three weeks ago. This means that
they not only did not have so many
flowers as they could have had, but
also that these flowers graded lower.
In other words, they were less valu-
able. Considering these conditions,
sweet peas brought high prices, rang-
ing from 65 cents all the way up to
$2 per hundred. A few brought more.
The lower grades of peas were flowers
that nobody but the street men would
look at the week before.
The other corsage flowers shared to a
lesser extent the popularity of the
sweet pea. Orchids were so extremely
scarce that they shot up from 75 cents
on advance orders to $1 each on all or-
ders received after the middle of the
week. Even at this record price there
were not enough of them. Valley
brought $4, $5 and $6 per hundred. The
first price was on poor stock; the sec-
ond on advance orders; the last on late
orders and especially fine spikes. While
the supply of valley was larger than ex-
pected, it was at times insufficient.
Violets were only satisfactory where
special arrangements were made for
rushing them through from Ehinebeck,
P, D, Q. Otherwise the New York
doubles were unsatisfactory. Local vio-
lets were rather well over. All this
helped the sweet peas. The price on
violets was from $10 per thousand down.
Gardenias were plentiful, good and pop-
ular. The prices on them ranged from
$1.25 to $3 per dozen.
Carnations were in fair supply and in
toll-loll demand. That means that there
was no special life in it. Eeally good
Mrs. C. W. Ward and whites brought
from $4 to $5 per hundred, and extra
special selects $6. But there were lots
and lots of carnations sold at from $2
to $3 and it took selling to sell them.
Hoses were, in point of value, the
most important cut flowers at Easter.
Particularly fine Hadley and Mrs.
Charles Kussell brought from $25 to $30
per hundred, but I have some doubt
whether this phraseology be not mis-
leading, for it was not easy to find
many Mrs. Charles Russell or Hadley
roses worth that much. Still, a few
brought it, but few compared with the
thousands and thousands of Killarney
roses, their sisters, their cousins and
their aunts, which brought from $3 to
$8 per hundred. A few hundreds of
this family brought $10, $12 and, it is
said, even $15. Ophelia and Sunburst
were popular at from $12 down, mostly
down, while dear little Mrs. Aaron
Ward soared as high as $10, thanks to
her swell cori^ge company. There
were white roses left over and some
others, but, considering the number,
not so many. The weak points in the
cut flower market were Easter lilies at
from $8 to $10; callas at from $2 per
dozen and down, down, down — nobody
ever saw so many callas; yellow daisies,
white daisies, mignonette and, most
surprising of all, snapdragons ware

flower market report without mention-
ing Beauties. The best brought $6 per
dozen; a few went higher; the shorts
$3 to $4 per hundred, and they were
short indeed. In fact, it may truly be
said that Beauties were in rather short
supply. There T|?ere few mediums. The
last of the lilac was in for Easter. It
was hardly up to the mark, but welcome
at $1 per bunch. The first peonies,
pink and white, and gladioli, in three
colors, have followed the~ southern daf-
fodils from the south.
Easter in the Retail Stores.
The aim of every retailer at Easter
is to clean out, or, to describe it more
accurately, to buy all the stock he
dare and sell it. To this laudable end
every nerve is strained. A trip around
the retail stores shows that this ambi-
tion was more nearly attained this Eas-
ter than usual. It was a pleasure to
see the eagerness with which empty
spaces that had been piled high with
bloomers were pointed out by the smil-
ing chiefs. Plants sold well, but they
did not do this unaided. Lovely bas-
kets, soft ribbon, bewitching combina-
tions and energetic salesmen helped
materially. In some cases the doors
were closed perforce, to check the on-
rush of customers, flower hungry, the
proprietors said. In other cases hurry-
up calls for vans of plants and boxes of
cut flowers made it possible to keep
the doors open, I was told, with no less
pride. In every case everybody d^d his
best and everybody reaped a harvest.
Whether it was an erica in its blue
basket, with ribbon of Alice blue, or
the big combination pan with its swell
azalea center, mattered little in the
general result. Each found a friend.

J. D. Eisele states that the conges-

as many more could have been disposed

The consensus of opinion is that the
Easter trade this year was enormous.
That it has set a record is fully ap-
parent, even at this early writing. The
lateness of Easter this year and the
unfavorable weather preceding the holi-
day did not have the slightest deprecia-
tory effect in this vicinity.
The public ordered flowers late this
year. The bulk of the business was
transacted April 22, and this feature
made the holiday difficult for the florist
who did not have a large sales and de-
livery force. The most noticeable fea-
ture of the Easter business was the se-
lect class of trade. High-grade flowers,
especially in the cut flowers, were
heaviest in demand, although all grades
were eagerly bought. The report every-
where IS that the supply, although
great, was wholly unequal to the de-
mand. This was more noticeable in cut
flowers than in plants, although the ma-
jority of florists were entirely sold out
of potted bulbous stock and could have
sold many more plants had they been
available.
There was a fine supply of roses,
Shawyer, Killarney and Eussell pre-
dominating in the pink varieties; Rich-
Artificial
Cyoas Leaves and Wreaths, Wheat Sheaves,
Baskets, Artificial and Wax Wreaths, Metal
w^>m Wreaths, Crosses, eto. Colored Teasels, red,

mond and Rhea Beid in the red, al-
though these were far less plentiful
than the pink; Sunburst, Ophelia and
Ward in the yellow; Kaiserin and White
Killarney in the white varieties. The
carnation crop from the local growers
was quite large. Easter lilies were suffi-
cient, and they were the only flowers of
which this could be said. Snapdragons
were cut in great numbers and were of
excellent quality, with stems thirty-six
to forty inches in length. The supply
of cut bulbous stock was large, espe-
cially of tulips, jonquils, daffodils and
narcissi; the demand was especially
good.
Orchids were short of the demand.
The supply of cattleyas from local
growers was good and the quality ex-
cellent. Valley was poor and hard to
obtain. Violets were not to be had
within reasonable distance. Aaron
Ward roses, forget-me-nots and swain-
sonas were used to a great extent for
corsages. Sweet peas were plentiful

poeticus narcissi were entirely sold out.
Martha Washington geraniums, pelar-
goniums, valley and begonias formed a
good variety and sold well. Easter lily
plants were of superb quality and the
supply was more than equal to the de-
mand. Many of the florists' forces
worked practically all night Saturday,
filling cut flower orders and making
corsages for Easter delivery, and many
stores did not close their doors until
5 o'clock Easter Sunday afternoon.
Various Notes.
The new flower store that went into
business last week is owned by Ed
Hauswirth, formerly with the Bradley
Flower Shop, of this city, and for the
last three years in the Chicago market.
Mr. Hauswirth was located temporarily,
during the Easter business, at 210 West
Berry street, but has secured a three
years' lease of the store at 220 West
Berry street, where he will be located
after May 1. He had a fine line of
Easter flowers and plants and had an
encouraging Easter business.
Edgar Wenninghoflf, the Calhoun
street florist, rented another store room
at the corner of Calhoun and Washing-
ton streets, where he had a handsome
display of plants and cut flowers. His
Easter business was large. The de-
mand for cut flowers was equal to, if
not greater than, that for plants.
Markey Bros, had lilies and a wide
variety of potted plants. Here, too, the
plant trade was large, and the cut
flowers ran a close second.

good azaleas, ericas and rhododendrons,
besides a large variety of bulbous stock.
They were entirely sold out of plants
and the demand for cut flowers was
better than ever before.
The Doswell Floral Co. had especially
heavy corsage work and a large sale
of out flowers. The sweet pea crop was
large and the cuts of roses and carna-
tions heavy. The better grades of flow-
ers were noticeably in greater demand
than ever. The plants were practically
sold out.
W. J. & M. S. Vesey, wholesalers,
report that the Easter business was
the best ever. The Easter cut of roses
was la^ge, particularly of Shawyer.
The carnation crop was heavy. The
supply of cut flowers was not nearly
equal to the demand. In plants every-
thing was sold out and the bulbous
stock, especially hyacinths, was short.
F. J. Knecht & Co. had a big crop of
roses for the Easter trade, principally
of Russell and shawyer They were en-
tirely sold out.
The Flick Floral Co. had a big sale
of plants, not only in the small and
medium sizes, but also in the large va-
rieties of Bhododendron Pink Pearl,
azaleas, lilacs, Crimson Ramblers, deut-
zias, spiraeas and Easter lilies. The cut
flower trade was larger than ever be-
fore. R. F.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS BUT ONCE.
26 acres rich, black, level soil, located

suited for truck gardening and greenhouse
business; also for anyone interested in
going into the greenhouse business on a large

account of its proximity to Chicago as a mar-

Illinois coal fields are also near making the
freight rate on same low; the E. J. & E. tracks
bound this tract on the south, the Michigan
Central on the north and the I. C. station at

is their suburban terminal to Chicago). As an

BOSTON.
The Market
It cannot truthfully be called the best
Easter Boston ever has had, but it un-
doubtedly would have beaten all pre-
vious records had weather conditions
been better, April 3 last year we had the
worst snow storm of the winter, start-
ing about noon. April 22 this year, at
almost the same hour, a cold, pitiless
northeast rain mixed with sleet, the
heaviest storm in many weeks, set in
and seriously hurt retail trade and the
wholesale flower markets. As Good
Friday had been dark and threatening,
the weather waa decidedly discouraging
for Easter trade.
It was more than ever a plant Eas-
ter. All the big growers sold out clean
at good prices and plants were pushed
ahead of cut flowers at all the stores.
Lilies were, as usual, the greatest sell-
ers. These were to be seen on every
hand, including large quantities at dry
goods and 5 and 10-cent stores. Rose
plants came next in favor and met with
a big sale. Tausendschon was easily
the leader; sales of this variety must
have almost equaled that of all other
ramblers combined. Dorothy Perkins,
Hiawatha, Excelsa, Wedding Bells and
American Pillar came next in favor.
There was a big sale of polyantha types,
also hybrid perpetuals. Azaleas met
with a large sale, but there was some
surplus. I^ench hydrangeas sold much
better than the old Otaksas, but were
not particularly popular. There was a
big sale of Ihitch bulbs in pans, also
of primroses, polyanthus and myosotis.
Hard-wooded plants, such as ericas,
boronias, acacias and camellias, were
less conspicuous than usual, owing to

Other plants, including Rhododendron

herbaceous calceolarias, spirseas, mag-
nolias, malus, marguerites and bougain-

the Dutch bulbs, Darwin tulips appeared
in quantity and sold well. Pots of
valley were popular.
Coming to cut flowers, the market
was good April 18, 19 and 20. It weak-
ened somewhat on Good Friday and
took a decided slump April 22. Grow-
ers followed the familiar practice of
hoarding stock until the last day. It
was disastrous, as usual. Boses sold
well until April 22, when they weak-
ened. American Beauties of the best
grades sold well at $25 to $30 per hun-

dred. Few were willing to pay higher
prices. Hadley made up to $25 per hun-
dred. Hoosier Beauty, Russell and
Ophelia sold from $4 to $20 per hun-
dred, a small number higher. White
roses, as usual, went poorly, and yel-
lows only moderately well. The various
pink Killarneys were in good demand,
as were Shawyer, Miller, D'Arenberg,
Key, Taft and Maryland. Carnations
made $6 as a maximum price, but broke
badly April 22. The popular varieties
were Pink Delight, Alice, Ward, Match-
less, Benora and Rosette.
Violets sold at $12 to $15 per thou-
sand. A few singles appeared, but these
were small. Doubles were of good qual-
ity. Sweet peas were abundant and in
tremendous demand at $1 to $2 per hun-
dred. Peas seemed to be the most popu-
lar flower on the market, Pansies,
primroses and polyanthus all sold well.
Snapdragons of grand quality appeared
in unwieldy quantities and many were
unsold. Yellow marguerites made $1
to $3 per hundred, according to quality.
There was an abundance of these,
also a good number of whites. Lil-
ium candidum was popular at $6 per
hundred buds. Cut longiflorums sold
only moderately well. Mignonette was
much overstocked. Valley was scarce
at $4 to $5 per hundred. Tulips, daffo-
dils and hyacinths sold well until the
general slump came. Some ixias, spar-
axis. Peach Blossom gladioli, ranunculi,
anemones, pink larkspurs, hardy del-
phiniums and tritonias were noted. Ca-
lendulas were druggy. Cornflowers sold

fairly well, pink being preferred to
blue.
Gardenias of the best grades made $3
to $4 per dozen, but short-stemmed
stock sold much lower. Of cattleyas
there was almost a famine. C. Schroe-
derse made $6 to $7 per dozen and C.
Mossise made as much as $9 to $12, in
some cases even more. Asparagus sold
remarkably well.
Business April 24 was adversely af-
fected by the surplus carried over and
prices showed a general decline. The
continued cold "weather prevents an ex-
cessive output and quality remains
good.
Easter with the Betailers.
At Carbone's the volume of business
exceeded that of all previous years. A
large assortment of choice stock is car-
ried here. Among other varieties of
plants noted here were Jackmani and
Miss Bateman clematis, magnolias, her-
baceous calceolarias, Lilium candidum,
crinums and boronias. Tausendschon
was far the best selling rose. Among
cut flowers Ixia viridiflora, Narcissus
albicans, ranunculi and anemones
proved popular among the smaller va-
rieties.
Harry Quint, at 520 Boylston street,
has an unequaled location for making
an open-air, garden-like display and
took full advantage of it. He had a
grand display of flowering plants and
did a splendid business. He pointed out
Pelargonium Easter Greeting as a de-
sirable novelty for Easter.

noted some nice chorizemas, strelitzias,
boronias, hybrid delphiniums and cri-
nums. Easter trade was ahead of 1915.
At Zinn's Tausendschon roses, lilies,
azaleas and French hydrangeas proved
heavy sellers. Business here was satis-
factory.
At Galvin's, on Park street, were es-
pecially fine specimem bougainvilleas,
marguerites, Tausendschon roses, aza-
leas and ericas. A large volume of busi-
ness was done.
The Houghton-Gorney Co. always has
tasteful window arrangments, the flow-
ers being less crowded than in many
other stores. A splendid Easter trade
was done. Among other good things in
the way of flowering plants were hy-
brid lilacs, malus, magnolias. Spiraea
Peach Blossom and bougainvilleas. The
favorite rose was Tausendschon.
Wax Bros., on Tremont street, are
always hustling and I found them
rushed with business. One window of
Easter lilies and yellow marguerites and
another of roses and azaleas were finely
arrayed. A beautiful casket cover of
Easter lilies and valley was furnished
for the Talbot funeral April 22.
At Penn's emporium, 124 Tremont
street, everyone was on the jump and it
had been a case of night and day work
for several days to keep abreast of or-
ders. Heavy advertising in the leading
Boston dailies brought a flood of orders.
The windows and store were most taste-
fully arranged and plants were charm-
ingly decorated, which enhanced their
value. Lilies, Tausendschon roses and
azaleas sold best among plants. April
22 a force of eighteen autos and forty-
nine messenger boys was used in mak-
ing deliveries of the heaviest Easter
business the firm has had.
At J. Newman & Sons', Tremont
street, lilies had much the heaviest sale.
Other favorites were roses, bougain-
villeas, spiraeas, azaleas and bulbs in
pans.
The Boston Cut Flower Co. passed its
1915 volume of business. Specially good
sellers were lilies, Tausendschon roses,
azaleas and French hydrangeas.

Various Notes.
Noteworthy among the many fine
roses seen in Boston for Easter were
the magnificent Hadley, Russell, Thayer,
Storey and Killarney Queen roses from
the "Waban Kose Conservatories. These
were in a class by themselves.
The Sutermeister Estate, of Readville,
sold thousands of pans of bulbs for Eatr-
ter, selling out clean. Couronne d'Or,
Eose Luisante and Murillo tulips, Vic-
toria and Golden Spur narcissi, Ger-
trude, Grand Maitre and L 'Innocence
hyacinths were the leaders.
Welch Bros. Co. reports a fine volume
of business. Boses and sweet peas sold
particularly well. Valley was in short
supply; carnations, snapdragons and
bulb stock in excess of the demand.
Large sales of lilies in pots, shipped
direct from the growers, were made.
At the next meeting of the Garden-
ers' aiid Florists' Club, May 16, Thomas
Coles, head gardener to General S. M.
Weld, will read a paper on rock gar-
dening. The club's field day on or
about May 15, according to the season,
at General Weld's, is sure to prove a
popular one. An immense assortment of
rock plants is to be found here, all
most tastefully planted.
William H. Ward, of Montvale, had a
fine Easter crop of callas, sweet peas,
carnations and forget-me-nots. He will
start cutting Gladiolus The Bride this
week.
The Halifax Garden Co. is getting
fine cuts of Taft, Ophelia Sunburst and
Killarney roses. Beacon, Benora, Ward,
Pink Delight and Matchless carnations,
also snapdragons, ixias and sparaxis.
H. M. Robinson & Co. report Easter
sales as ahead of previous years, all
departments showing an increase.
James Wheeler, of Natick, had the
heaviest shipments of yellow margue-
rites of any local growers and their

quality was such that they sold quick-
ly. Mr. Wheeler's carnations were, also
in good crop.
The W. W. Edgar Co. reports sales as
far ahead of all previous years. They
were practically cleaned out.
James Philbrick and W. E. Turner,
of Woburn, and C. T. Beasley, of East
Milton, were heavy shippers of high-
grade pansies for the Easter trade.
Pansies in large bunches proved popular.
The Boston Eose Co. handled a lot
of American Beauties of fine quality
for Easter. THey also had superb Had*
ley, Russell, Ophelia and Killarney
Queen from the Montgomery Co.
W. C. Stickel, of Lexington, was one
of the earliest shippers of Gladiolus
Peach Blossom. His Pink Delight,
Matchless and Benora carnations also
were good.
The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co.,
Faneuil Hall Square, did a fine business
in Easter plants. It has been a rush in
the seed department of late.
For the big exhibition in Horticul-
tural hall, May 10 to 14, visitors will
be relieved to find that the terrible red
brick walls have been painted a light
color.
W. S. Phelps, of Lexington, is cut-
ting a fine lot of hardy delphiniums,
anemones, ranunculi and Spanish iris.
John McFarland, of North Easton,
did a fine Easter trade. All his lilies
sold, Galvin 's taking a lar^e proportion
of them. W. N. C.

50 years' experience in the florist business guarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed
would provide an area of 20,000 square
feet for display space, which he thought
would be ample. The hall was located
three blocks from Eice's hotel, which
would be headquarters, and five blocks
from the convention garden. Work on
tbe convention garden, he said, was in
active progress, and its success was
practically assured. Some action had
been taken, he said, in regard to get-
ting low railroad rates to Houston, and
it seemed quite probable that a one
and one-third rate would be secured
over all railroads in the United States.
The committee on convention garden
was appropriated a sum not to exceed
$500 for purposes of the garden.
Adjournment was then taken until 10
a. m. Wednesday.
The first business at Wednesday
morning's session was the reading of
the report of the auditing committee,
which found the reports of the secretary
and treasurer to be correct, and compli-
mented these officers upon the efficient
work shown in the reports.
The matter of arrangements for tht
trade exhibits at Houston was again
discussed, and it was decided to make
the rate for exhibition space 40 cents
per square foot.
A Publicity Campaign.
The publicity committee, through its
chairman, Irwin Bertermann, reported
progress. The committee had not had a
full meeting. Consequently, a report
could not be presented at this time.
Mr. Bertermann, however, made a short
address, in which he embodied his per-
sonal ideas. It was evident that the
prevailing idea as to a publicity cam-
paign was that its cost was not within
the reach of the society. He was of
the opinion that a small beginning

might be made through the employment
of a capable man, well versed in mat-
ters pertaining to the business^ with
compensation of $500 to $1,000 per year
for his services, and he made this rec-
ommendation. A lengthy discussion of
this proposition ensued. Finally, on
motion, it was decided that a publicity
man be engaged to operate under the
direction of the secretary, at a salary
of $15 per week, with the approval of
the publicity committee, any legitimate
expenses to be vouched for by the chair-
man of the committee; and, further,
that if the committee should see fit to
send out an appeal for funds to carry
the campaign further, it is authorized
to do so.
Mothers' Day.
A communication from the Mothers'
Day International Association, Inc., was
read, asking the society to cooperate
with the association in giving publicity
to the proper day for the celebration of
Mothers' day, the second Sunday in
May, and the fact that the emblem of
the association is the white carnation.
On motion of Mr. Kasting, the board
unanimously acceded to the request, and
a copy of the resolution was immedi-
ately given out to representatives of
the daily press and Associated Press.
The following appropriations were
made:

by the association headed by Miss Anna
Jarvis was discussed at length and, on
motion, the secretary was instructed to
send an appeal to all the members of
the society for a subscription toward
the Mothers' day fund.
The secretary was directed to invite
the presentation of two essays at the
Houston convention.
Adjournment was then taken until
after luncheon.
At the final session many matters
tending to make the work of the society
of greater service to its members were
considered, among them the compilation
of a trade directory which should be
reliable and strictly up-to-date. Some
earnest discussion upon the subject en-
sued, resulting in the carriage of a mo-
tion that a committee of three be ap-
pointed to look into the advisability of
the issuance of a trade directory by the
society, or any other publication, the
committee to report at the Houston con-
vention.
The secretary was instructed to pre-
pare an order of business for the con-
vention, and another one for thef meet-
ings of the executive board, anything
not covered to be proceeded with under
Roberts' Eules of Order.

The professor explained that he ap-
peared before the board as the repre-
sentative of members of the society
connected with the faculties of differ-
ent universities and colleges who de-
sired, in the interests of the society, to
organize a section to be composed of all
members interested in educational and
research work pertaining to the profes-
sion. The group was strongly inter-
ested along certain lines, the work be-
ing sufficiently important to warrant
the support of the society to the extent
of making it a section and furnishing
accommodations in the way of quar-
ters for its members at the society's
different exhibitions, where contact
could be had with florists and others
having problems which merited the act-
ive interest of such a section. Such a
section, he suggested, should be known
as the ' * College Florists ' Section, ' ' The
proposition proving favorable to the
board, the section as stated was on mo-
tion authorized.
Other matters were considered in-
formally, taking up the time of the
board until adjournment. At the close
of the meeting Mr. Welch pointed out
that his membership on the board was
practically then expiring, and in a
graceful speech he expressed the pleas-
ure he had experienced in meeting at
different times with his brother mem-
bers and his regret at not being able
officially to continue with them, but he
was satisfied that the affairs of the so-
ciety were in good hands and the or-
ganization would be kept moving along
progressive lines.
After a motion directing the secre-
tary to transmit a letter of thanks to
the local organization for courtesies
shown to the board, adjournment was
taken to Monday, August 14, at Hous-
ton. John Young, Sec'y.

T. Sakata, of Sakata Nurserieq, Kana-
gawa, Japan, is in the United States to
see who wants lily bulbs.
L. L. May, of St. Paul, who is in the
south for his health, is reported as
greatly benefited by the change.
The canners say the 1916 acreage of
peas will be reduced materially and one
hears of several packers offering seed
peas.
Geowees are not finding it at all easy
to get the bean acreage they need this
year. The 1916 crop will almost cer-
tainly be short.
Charles N. Page, who has wintered in
southern California, is planning to at-
tend the Chicago convention of the Amer-
ican Seed Trade Association.
In spite of the general shortage of
seeds, so much talk^ about during the
winter, customers are not turned away
from any ^eed store without something
to plant.
The British trade press is felicitating
the country over the fact that the author-
ities are drawing tighter the embargo
against Gterman seeds exported through
neutral ports.
Labor shortage steadily becomes a
more important factor with the European
growers of seeds, bulbs and nursery stock,
affecting those in Holland and Denmark
as well as in the countries that are at
war.
The Bloomfield Nursery & Seed Co., of
which H. B. Engleman is president, is a
new concern at Monticello, Fla. A spe-
cialty is made of watermelon seed, some
500 acres being grown under contract for
seed only, no melons being shipped.
The Western Seedsmen's Association
held its annual meeting April 22, at
the Eome hotel, Omaha, Neb. After the
meeting the members sat down to a
five-course banquet and later enjoyed
an automobile ride through the city.
The Dutch bulb salesmen are start-
ing for home. Some of them are taking
the usual route through England, but a
majority are awaiting the sailing of a
Dutch steamer. They all say they have
had an excellent season in the United
States in spite of some difficulties result-
ing from 1915 crop bulbs failing to
flower as expected.
There is fair prospect that the June
convention of the American Seed Trade
Association will break all records for at-
tendance. While there are no vital ques-
tions before the trade this season, save
the one of keeping the business going on
a profitable basis, Chicago is so centrally
located that nearly everybody will come
to swap experiences and pick up infor-
mation.
SEED EXPORTS INCREASE.
Exports of vegetable seeds and of
certain flower seeds from the United
States are on the increase, according to
official figures. Excluding cotton seed,
flaxseed, grass and clover seeds, the fol-
lowing are the exports of "all other"

doing all the pioneer work on the win-

apparently we are much mistaken, as
according to the articles recently ap-

as if the Australians were even going
ahead of us in this work.

are UBing Yarrawa almost exclusively
as the seed-bearing parent in their
crosses. This is just duplicating what
Mr. Kerr has been doing from the time
he first flowered Yarrawa at Burpee's
Fordhook Farms some four seasons ago.
He is looking forward with interest to
second generation crosses from Yarrawa
which will flower this season.
aOVEBNMENT SEED TESTINQ.
Its Effect on the Seed Trade.
"Twenty-six states have passed laws
regulating the sale of seeds," writes
E. Brown, botanist in charge of the
government seed laboratory at Wash-
ington, "and in most of them certain
labels indicating quality are demanded,
but the information thus conveyed is
meager at best, and is required only
when sales are made within the state.
In only one state has there been an
attempt to apply the provisions of the
law to keeping out of its boundaries
seeds which would not be permitted
sale within them. No statement of
quality is required with the large pro-
portion of agricultural seeds sold from
one state into another.
"Seed testing gives the seedsman ac-
curate information about the seeds he
is selling and makes it possible for him
to conduct his business with that intel-
ligent interest which has too often been
lacking, but which is rapidly becoming
necessary to the successful seed mer-
chant. Through the increased attention
that is given to the importance of good
seed the general quality of commercial
seed has greatly improved, the demand
for high-grade seeds is increasing, and
more of the refuse which was formerly
sold as seed is now cleaned out and
destroyed; but there is still much to be
desired.
The Seed Importation Act.
"Through the enforcement of the
seed importation act, the quality of the
seeds brought into the United States
has greatly improved. This act pro-
hibits the importation of the seeds speci-
fied only when they are adulterated or
unfit for seeding purposes as defined
in the act, but it does not prohibit the
importation of seed that is dead or
that contains large quantities of chaff
and dirt. Before this act became a law
it was not uncommon for red and alsike
clover and alfalfa seed which was'
worthless for seeding purposes to be im-
ported.
"The United States had become a
favorite market for European seed
screenings. Conditions are now chang-
ing, and seedsmen are commonly making
their foreign purchases on the basis of
the seed importation act, so that few
lots of low-grade seed unfit for entry
under that act are being offered for im-
port. When an occasional lot of such
seed is now brought to the United States
it is either returned to the country
of origin or cleaned in bond under cus-
toms supervision and the cleanings ex-
ported or denatured.
"Tests of samples of foreign seed
received through the customs service
show that between July 1, 1914, and
October 1, 1915, over 300,000 pounds of
lightweight orcnard grass seed were im-
ported which contained an average of
only twenty-eight per cent of seed, the
remainder being chaff and dirt. Nearly
2,500,000 pounds of the crimson clover
seed imported during the six months
following April 1, 1915, contained an

average of only fifty-four per cent of
live seed, and of this the germination
of 500,000 pounds averaged but thirty-
eight per cent. In other words, enough
orchard grass seed was imported to sow
20,000 acres and enough crimson clover
seed to sow 120,000 acres, none of which
could be expected to produce a stand
in the field when used at a normal rate
of seeding.
"Dead crimson clover seed can not
be effectively separated from live seed,
and both the crimson clover and or-
chard grass seed were imported at such
prices that the good seed in these ship-
ments cost more than the best grade of
seed on the market at the time. All of
this crimson clover seed of low vitality
and chaffy orchard grass seed is sold
to the farmer without recleaning. While
the individual farmer can protect him-
self from the use of such worthless seed
by having each lot tested before he
sows it, such seed should not be allowed
to come into the country. Its importa-
tion can result only in profit to the
dealer selling it and the loss of th©
crop to the farmer who sows it.
Result of One Embargo.
"The United States annually imports
from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 pounds of
winter rape seed, most of it coming from
the Netherlands. Owing to an embargo
placed on the exportation of rape seed
by the Netherlands in the spring of
1915, seed was imported as rape from
88.

having 3io thickened root. This plant
has thin, hairy leavfes, fiirniahifig little
forage compared with winter rape. To
point out to the farmer and to seeds-
men the identity of the seeds of such
substitutes is one of the important ap-
plications of seed testing.
Seed Adulteration.
"It has been an all too common
practice for seedsmen, either knowingly
or unknowingly, to sell seed of a
cheaper kind for that of a higher price
when they are similar in appearance.
"Bed clover seed has been adulter-
ated with millet and yellow trefoil,
Kentucky bluegrass with Canada blue-
grass, orchard grass with meadow
fescue and rye grass, hairy vetch with
spring vetch, and redtop with timothy.
Alfalfa has been adulterated with yel-
low trefoil or sweet clover, and now
that the relative prices are reversed
sweet clover seed is being adulterated
with alfalfa seed. During the spring
of 1915 there was a profit of $75 to
$100 a carload on each one per cent
of timothy sold as redtop. Over 100
lots of adulterated redtop examined
contained an average of twelve per
cent of timothy seed.
Publication Works Cure. -
"After the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture collected each
kind of seed and published for the first
time the analyses of those lots found
to be adulterated, with the names of
the seedsmen who sold them, a marked
decrease in the adulteration of that
particular seed followed the next sea-
son. In the case of the different kinds
of seeds investigated, however, the
seed trade has not changed its prac-
tice until after such publication has
been made.
"While all crop failures due to the
use of poor seeds may be avoided by
having seeds tested before sowing,
such tests should be made in the most
practical and economical way. Seed
should be tested, as far as possible, in
large lots in the hands of the whole-
sale dealer, a copy of the analysis ac-
companying each sale as a guaranty of
quality, instead of repeatedly testing
seed from the same bulk for individual
buyers. ' '

The Market.
The week preceding Easter was bright
and warm, bringing a wealth of blooms
to the growers. The sweet pea and car-
nation growers, with only a few excep-
tions, were astonished at the quantities
of blooms that opened under the favor-
able weather conditions. The stores in
general had a most successful Easter;
never before were such quantities of
flowers sold in Lancaster. Azaleas, lilies
and all kinds of bulbous stock met with
a good demand, but it was interesting
to note the alacrity with which well
grown calceolarias, cinerarias, margue-
rites, pans of sweet-scented dwarf
stocks and baskets of pansies were
snapped up by the plant buyers, show-
ing the wonderful opportunity to the
young men in the business for further
development along these lines.

The Market.
"Writing on the eve of Easter, it is
not possible to give any exact data as
to the Easter business. Early in the
week everybody looked blue. There
were no orders coming in and lilies by
the thousand were stocking up, too
early, of course, to be of any good use.
Hardly any other plants were in the
market, a i'ew roses and some excellent
spirfcas and hydrangeas alone filling the
bill. The last day or two orders have
come in more lively and prospects look
a little better. Out-of-town shipping
business has been fine, but Easter came
too late this year for it to be heavy.
Spanish irises are in and sell well, and
these, with a few late tulips and trito-
nias, constitute what is left of the
Dutch bulbous stock. Cut lilies are
plentiful and good. There is an abun-
dance of all kinds of greens.
Various Notes.
One of the finest pieces of work re-
cently carried out here was a casket
cover by C. Lewis, of the Freeman-
Lewis Co. It consisted of lily of the
valley, white roses and orchids. A new
delivery car has been put on by this
firm. Mr. Lewis intends to take a trip
east as soon as he severs his connec-
tion with the firm, probably around
May 1.
Tom Wright, of Wright's Flower
Shop, said he never had his lilies so
well timed for Easter as this year, and
they surely were an extremely fine lot
o*" plants. The cut flower stock, too,
Wds in excellent order.
Walter Garbett, of the California Cut
Flower & Evergreen Co., left April 13
for a business trip that will embrace
the north, rtiiddle west and east. He
intended to visit the principal cities en
route and expected to be gone two
nths.
'"^"^harles J. Muller has purchased the
Eoserie from E. Woelfel. By this deal
Mr. Muller returns to his old business
and no doubt will meet many of his
old customers. His brother, who was
formerly associated with him on South
Broadwav, will be with him in the new
location ' at 328 West Twenty-third
street.
The L. A. Floral Co. reports the ship-
ping, business to out-of-town points bet-
ter than the city trade. The reason
for this probably is that many growers
of local repute try to time their stock
for Easter and peddle it locally rather
than ship to wholesalers. The out-of-
town customer evidently prefers to deal
where he can be assured of service.
C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery,
has had rather a serious relapse and
has been more or less confined in his
business operations. He evidently has
not lost hope, as he has purchased a
new Overland car with which to cover
the territory.
Tassano Bros, are handling the sur-
plus stock grown in the greenhouses at
Gardena, which are owned by Thomas
Wright.
A free flower show was held in Glen-
dale April 20, 21 and 22, with a fine at-
tendance every day. A number of
We are much pleased with the

women interested themselves in the
show and are to be congratulated on
the results of their efforts. Roses were
shown in large quantities; also many
of the better known annuals and peren-
nials. The Germain Seed & Plant Co.,
of Los Angeles, had the center of the
tent and staged an attractive group of
foliage plants and a few pot roses. The
wild flower exhibits from the school
children were fine. Theodore Payne
and H. E. Eichards were judges.
Darling's Flower Shop has opened a
store in the Hayward hotel building.
Mr. Darling has surely turned on the
white lights and has carried out several
original ideas there which can hardly
fail to bring success.
"Easter plants from Sawtelle to Ar-
macost & Co.," was the legend on a
large uncovered truck used to deliver
this well known concern 's stock, the let-
ters being about two feet high.
H. W. Turner had a splendid rose cut
for Easter, Mrs. Geo. Shawyer and
Prima Donna being especially good.
Among the newer roses, Dora is mag-
nificent and looks as if it might be a
good outdoor rose.
J. McLellan, of San Francisco, was a
visitor last week.
At the Nurserymen's Exchange meet-
ing, held in the store of the Germain
Seed & Plant Co., the question of quar-
antine and other inspection matters
were taken up, with a view to taking
some definite action in the nature of a
test case to resolve the constitutional-
ity of some of the laws' on the subject.
Mrs. B. P. Garrett, of Eagle Eock, is
sending in excellent Spanish irises,
some of the deeper blue types being es-
pecially good.
R. Fisher, of Santa Ana, has decided
to offer his beautiful new lavender f ree-
sia to the trade this summer, and it
will be noted that only one kind will
be offered. Mr. Fisher is determined to
keep up his policy of thoroughly prov-
ing up his novelties before sending
them out, and not to send out anything
in mixture. H. E. Eichards.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
Much energy was put into the prepa-
rations for Easter, and at this date, two
days before the holiday, there is every
indication that the week's business will
be a record-breaker for the local trade.
Conditions are all that can be desired.
There is an abundance of stock of prime
quality, but no overproduction. The
warm weather early in the month
brought out many flowers that otherwise
would have been on the market for
Easter and, with the last two weeks of
cool weather holding back other stock,
some seasonables are a little scarce.
Flowering plants are a bigger feature
than ever in the holiday offerings. Roses
form such an important part of the
downtown displays that they almost
eclipse the lilies.
The supply of lilies is not so great as
it would have been two weeks earlier,

but no real shortage is anticipated, espe-
cially in view of the enormous supply
of rose plants. Callas are particularly
fine, the yellow variety being more in
evidence than ever before. In rambler
roses the pink varieties hold supremacy,
although the crimson and pure white
varieties are much in evidence. Dorothy
Perkins appears in wonderful crosses,
arches, baskets and other forms, well
done. Tausendschon also makes a fine
showing. The rose market generally is
in good condition. Some extra fine stock
can be had. The Easter cut of American
Beauties is about the best ever, there
being many perfect flowers with 10-foot
stems. Frau Karl Druschki made its ap-
pearance. Cecile Brunner roses are plenti-
ful but continue to experience a good de-
mand. Ophelia, Klllarney and Sunburst
show up well.
There is some exceptionally fine Span-
ish iris right for Easter. More French
hydrangeas are offered this year than
formerly and they are popular. Some
rhododendrons appear, but most of them
bloomed too early. The supply of
spiraeas is rather limited and azaleas
are scarce. Many herbaceous peonies
still are to be had and much hawthorn
is being used. Miscellaneous stock, such
as daisies, mignonette, snapdragons,
pansies, forget-me-nots, etc., is sufficient
for demands. Many wild flowers, prin-
cipally poppies, are used, and snowballs
are plentiful. Sweet peas are available
in quantity, but the quality does not
average well, really good stock being
scarce.
Some nice valley appears, but the sup-
ply is rather limited. Orchids are in
great variety and plentiful. There is a

Various Notes.
Last week the writer had the pleasure
of visiting the greenhouses of E. James,
on the Foothill boulevard, in Oakland,
and found the houses in excellent condi-
tion. One house, devoted to Dorothy
Perkins plants, was a wonderful sight,
with crosses, arches and baskets, all inst
right. The house of Tausendschon was
equally fine, the plants appearing in
many shapes, including fans and umbrel-
las. This year Mr. James has quite a
number of Hiawatha ramblers. He had
not grown this variety for several years,
but he says there seems to be a re-
newed demand for it. A nice lot of
bougainvilleas were heavily flowered
and all that could be desired. Mr. James
practically supplies the San Francisco
market with rambler roses, and he ad-
mitted that it would be a big job to ship
the entire output in four days.
Upon his return from his eastern trip
A. J. Kossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., said
at no place that he visited did he see as
fine stock for Easter as here.
G. Poulos brought in a nice lot of
callas from his place at Colma, where he

the south and east. He says everywhere
he visited he found much interest being
shown in the coming convention at
Houston, Tex.
The E. W. McLellan Co. brought in a
fine cut of American Beauty roses for
Easter, a large percentage being the
finest specimens ever offered. Manager
Axell says they had many with stems
ten feet long. They had a nice cut of
Frau Karl Druschki roses. The company
had about 10,000 Lilium giganteum, and
found no difficulty in disposing of them.
They also brought in a big cut of
Spanish irises.
Joe Proietti is bringing in a nice lot
of hawthorn, both white and red, and
some large irises.
Domoto Bros, had a large cut of lilies
for Easter and a nice lot of spiraeas,
which they say sell better this year than'
they have for several seasons. They had
good rhododendrons, but these had
mostly bloomed before Easter.
A few days before Easter the shop of
Podesta & Baldocchi, on Grant avenue,
looked like a bower of roses. A series
of arches extended across the store, the
rear being filled with a large windmill
and the sides banked with smaller plants.
With the roses as a background, the
lilies and other plants showed to excel-
lent advantage.
The rambler rose was the predominat-
ing feature of the display at Joseph's,
but the effect was entirely different,
owing t6 the size and shape of the store.
The central feature was one of the large

SEATTLE.
The Market.
There has been a lively demand for
all kinds of flowers, cut and in pots.
Indications last week pointed to no
overproduction in any line, so that the
stores in all probability cleared on al-
most all their stock. As usual, lilies
are everywhere and the street venders
have more displayed this year than
ever before. There are none too many
and growers are entirely cleared of
plants in bloom. Spiraeas were not much
in demand and azaleas were quite
scarce.
Various Notes.

The Market.
The Easter rush, as this is being writ-
ten, obscures all other features of the
market, and everyone is so busy that
information is hard to obtain. Cut stock
is scarce and there seems to be no sur-
plus of potted plants. One or two large
bunches of lilies are behind time and
there is a scramble to get late supplies
of them. Funeral work and the de-
mands for flowers not prompted by Eas-
ter had taken a normal quantity of
stock.

Niklas and R. W. Gill constitute the
committee.
James Forbes gave an interesting ac-
count of his trip to the flower shows at
Philadelphia and New York, Several
short papers and brief discussions were
heard on timely topics.
H. E. Weed reported that P. W. Power,
of the Orenco Nursery Co., had severely
injured his hand while splitting kindling
at his home.
W. H. Dunham said that the March
rains had delayed preparing the ground
for the gardens conducted by the chil-
dren of the city schools, but that he
now was getting the gardens in shape
rapidly. Thirty-seven schools have com-
munity gardens and about 6,000 children
have individual plats that they are cul-
tivating at their homes.
Otto Griessel, of the Mountain View
Floral Co., said full crews were at work
in the nursery and at landscape work.
Practically all the stock prepared for
this season has been sold.
The son of John F. Carroll, honorary
member of the Floral Society, was buried

NURSERYMEN WAKING UP.
Under the new constitution the use-
fulness of the American Association of
Nurserymen is to be greatly enhanced
and the outlook for greater future suc-
cess is promising. Notwithstanding
that the new schedule of terms for
membership requires some to pay larger
fees than hitherto, the registration for
1916 at this writing equals that of last
year, with more than double the reve-
nue. A few pessimists predicted fail-
ure, being unable to grasp the vision of
the future possibilities in the line of
achievement, but there is encouragement
in the tone of the correspondence ac-
companving remittances of membership
fees. One writes: "Have not done $10,-
000 of business the past year; I did
before the war and expect to do again;
but I see no reason why an active mem-
ber doing a business of less than that
amount should get off with a smaller

year produced 14.5 per cent of the total
crop. Baldwin ranked second, with 10.9
per cent, and Winesap third, with 7.3
pe- t?ent of the total crop. Of the total
crop produced, about sixty-five per cent
was sold, varying by varieties from 77.7
per cent of the crop of Tompkins King
to 42.7 per cent of Limbertwig sold by

Many pedestrians on Powell street
halted to gaze into the window of the
Art Floral Co, The attraction was a
brood of little white chicks scratching
in the soft green moss or huddled up to
the tiny electric lights. In another sec-
tion of the window were several rab-
bits.
The Easter display at the MacEorie-
McLaren Co. store, on Powell street,
had double significance, as it formally
marked this company's advent into the
retail business and signalized the ap-
proach of the spring holiday. Tuesday
was the formal opening, and on that oc-
casion many friends and patrons of the
firm called to extend their best wishes
and congratulate the firm upon its
beautiful store. Since taking over the
store formerly conducted by the Fair-
mont Floral Co. the place has been thor-
oughly renovated, modern lighting de-
vices installed and much new equipment
added. On the mezzanine floor offices
have been installed for the wholesale
department. The front section is given
over to a commodious drafting room,
which is separated from the private
offices at the rear by the cashier's office.
This entire section is finished in white
and gold and beautifully furnished
throughout to harmonize with the rest
of the store. On opening day as a spe-
cial feature phalaenopsis corsages were
presented to all women visitors, and a
special display of orchids was made in
the window. This was replaced later in
the week by an Easter display, in which
lilies formed the principal feature. The
potted plants were banked in the back of
the window in tiers and in front was a
huge basket of Cattleya Mossise.

THE BEST RED CARNATION
Plants in 8^ -inch pots, ready for bench or field
WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^2 inches. Stems 24 to o6 inches long,
strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant
bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family.
Trice of 2i-inch plants is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate

The Market.
Business last week was only moder-
ately active until Saturday morning;
then it came with a sudden rush. The
consensus of opinion is that the total
of Easter sales this year is far in ex-
cess of that of any previous Easter.
With the possible exception of carna-
tions, there was an abundance of all
kinds of stock. Lilies never were bet-
ter or more plentiful, and they brought
good prices. ,The department stores
cut the prices down to 9 and 10 cents
each, but this did no harm to retailers,
who cleaned up well at 20 and 25 cents
per bloom. There was a large supply
of roses and all the blooms sold well.
While not in oversupply, there were
some nice, long Beauties that found
ready sales. Sweet peas were rather
scarce and poor in quality. Bulbous
stock, both cut and in p»ans, was fine
and brought good prices. Hydrangeas,
genistas, rhododendrons and well filled
fancy baskets found a good sale.
Various Notes.
Since remodeling and redecorating,
the Stewart Seed Store has a smart
appearance. A rushing business was
done last week in garden tools and
seeds.
John H. Bath sold out completely and
was compelled to turn some customers
away.
Peterson Bros, had a good Easter
business, but they think it will fall
short of that of last jear.
With three stores and about twent}--
five extra salespeople, Lewis Henderson
was a busy man. He says it was by far
the best Easter he has had.
The Parker Flower Shop was rushed
with work, and at the conclusion every-
body admitted he was glad that Easter
came only once a year.
No customers were disappointed at
the store of Hess & Swoboda, as they
had a supply of stock that was hard to
equal anywhere. As to variety, they
had everything that could be wished
for. Beauties, Kussells, Richmonds and
Killarneys were in good supply here,
and brought good prices. The lilies and

April 27, 1916.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Taken as a whole, Easter was satis-
factory to the trade. Business was
good, despite adverse weather condi-
tions. While the clean-up was not so
complete as we have seen it, the volume
of sales was extremely large. Saturday
and Sunday were cold and rainy and
dampened the ardor of the flower-buy-
ing public to some extent.
Sweet peas and violets were in great
demand and hard to obtain. Single
violets were out of the market entirely
and the double stock was not plentiful
and of only medium quality. This stock
cleaned up early at good prices. Sweet
peas were scarce; in fact, toward the
end they were not obtainable at any
price. The scarceness of sweet peas,
of course, was due to the cold, cloudy
weather, and this same condition was
responsible for the large supply of bulb-
ous stock in the market. Owing to the
lateness of the season, it was only to
be expected that this stock would be
out of the market. It cut a big figure
in the sales, however, and wound up
its season in a final burst of sales that
easily made this the best season for
bulbous stock we have seen for a long
time.
Carnations were in sufficient supply
to go around and the quality was good.
Of course, the trade tried to buy as
much of this stock as possible, and but
for the extremely large supply an acute
shortage would have been felt. Koses
were plentiful, but they cleaned up
well, despite the big supply. They were
in fine shape and, while prices were only
medium, the volume of business was
satisfactory. Short stock M-as in the
greatest demand, but the long, fancy
stock moved well at fair prices.
Plant sales wore enormous. The clean-
up would possibly liave been more com-
plete had the holiday been earlier, as
some stock came in too early to bring
what it should have. A few kinds were
sold out early and late orders had to
be turned down or something else sub-
stituted. There were a few plants on
the wholesale market Easter morning,
but tlie quality was negligible.
Various Notes.
April 19, three days before Easter,
Milwaukee was visited by a hail storm
that left a path of broken glass and
much damage in its wake. The damage
to greenhouse property was confined to
the west side of the city, and the
Schroeder Floral Co., Twenty-fourth
and Pease streets, was the heaviest
loser, as far as could be learned. This
company lost al)out 4,000 panes of glass
and some slight damage was done to
the stock. It was a blessing tliat the
storm was not followed by freezing
weather, as there was glass broken in
nearly every establisliment in the west
section of town. Some of the hail-
stones measured nearly two inches in
diameter. A local newspaper photo-
graphed one of the hailstones together
with a duck egg, and the egg had noth-
ing on the stone in size. H. J. S.

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Indianapolis enjoyed one of the best
Easters ever. Probably more flowers
were sold than ever before. Flowers
were plentiful and the market was so
well cleaned up that there was no stock
available on Easter morning. American
Beauties were not sufficient for the de-
mand, but the stock obtainable was of
good quality. Roses had a good call,
retailing at from $1.50 to $5 per dozen.
The market was well supplied with car-
nations, for which the prevailing price
was $1 per dozen, though some of the
stores got $1.25 and $1.50 for the bet-
ter grades. Orchids had a good call,
but the supply was limited. Of sweet
peas there were not enough to go
around. Violets were of poor quality,
with a fair demand. Valley, lilies,
pansies, forget-me-nots and snapdragons
found a good market. First-class bulb-
ous stock was not overplentiful and
was cleaned up. The market was well
supplied with Easter lilies, which found
a ready market.
Pot plants were sold by the thousands
and the market was well supplied with
a great variety. Easter lilies probably
had the best call. Azaleas, lilacs, rho-
dodendrons, genistas, pansies, ramblers
and bulbous pot plants were in great
demand. Plants bringing from $1 to $3
were the ready sellers; the higher-
priced arrangements were not sold in
quantities.
The city market was loaded down
with flowe'rs and reports a satisfactory
trade. A number of the retailers opened
branch stores for Easter, meeting with
fair success.
Various Notes.
A. Wiegand's Sons Co. had a satis-
factory Easter trade, cleaning up its
large supply of blooming plants, with
the exception of a few large rhododen-
drons.
Clarence Thomas, with the Hill Floral
Co., reports a fine trade, well above ex-
pectations.
The Pahud Floral Co. reports an ex-
cellent Easter trade. This firm opened
a branch store, which showed good re-
sults.
The Bertermann Bros. Co. also had a
satisfactory trade. The unusually fine
line of blooming plants sold readily.
John A. Rieman had a fine trade, be-
ing sold out early in the forenoon.
The Claypool Hotel Florist reports
business far ahead of last year.
The Smith & Young Co. handled an
immense lot of stock through its whole-
sale house, being unable to fill all the
orders. H- I^- W.

THE COAL MARKET.
The week 's rej)orts from the coal trade
may be summarized by the paradoxical
statement that the market is both weak
and strong; it is weak in spot business,
but strong in the closing of contracts.
On the whole, the situation is considered
encouraging to the coal dealers, for the
reason that the dullness in spot trade at
this season is an annual condition au-l
is decidedly temporary, being usually
limited to about six weeks, while the
prices si>ecified in the contracts are in
Tnost instances appreciably higher than
they were a year ago. Of course the
.cost of operating the mines has been in-
ci eased by the concessions to the miners
in the new wage agreement, but this
extra cost seems to be amply provided
for — and "then some" — in fixing tlie
prices of fuel. It is stated, also, that
present contract prices are the lowest
that are likely to be known this year;
Die entire current of events, we are told,
has a tendency to force prices upward.
As to the florists' favorite fuel, smoke-
less coal, the situation is descrilied as
"somewhat mixed." While the new cir-
cular price of mine-run. .tl..'?") f. o. b. the
mines and $M.40 f. o. b. Chicago, is gen-
erally maintained, a surplus of lump coal
has had the efTect in some cases of de-
pressing the price of mine-run. Perhaps
these circumstances provide a fleeting
opportunity for florists.
The discouraging status of the anthra-

successful. It had been hinted that
stock would be scarce, but there was
enough for all and the quality was ex-
tremely good. A large business was
done in corsages, and sweet peas, vio-

these. A mammoth business was done
in plants of all descriptions, and the
baskets this year were artistic and at-

a mass of color.
The weather during the latter part
of the week was not bright and Satur-

In cut flowers daily shipments were

Roses were fine and sold well, especially

The Florists' Review
Apbil 27, 1916.
lilacs. Ducks and chickens added to
the effect.
John Dunbar, assistant superintend-
ent of parks, completed his twenty-fifth
year of service with the Rochester
parks Saturday, April 22, and was the
recipient of many messages of congratu-
lation. Mr. Dunbar has done much to
beautify the city parks and has seen
almost the whole development of the
city park system. He is a proficient
botanist as well as expert grower of
plants and flowers. He is the official
botanist of the Society of American
Horists and often is a speaker at horti-
cultural meetings in this country and
Canada.
Extensive advertising by the individ-
ual florists of the city was done dur-
ing the week and good results were ob-
tained thereby.
George T. Boucher reports an excel-
lent Easter trade. His stock cleared
nicely. His windows were a big attrac-
tion and brought good results.
E. F. McLuis, the "Unique Florist,"
did remarkably well at the store. His
stock was good and he appears to be
quite well pleased with business. He
did a good business at his stand on
Clinton street.
Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit,
N. Y., did well this Easter. His large
quantity of potted plants was about
cleaned up. His Easter Greeting pelar-
goniums sold well and were in great de-
mand.
Now that Easter is over, spring clean-
ing commences — quite necessary in the
florists' business after such a rush.
H. J. H.
BRAMPTON, ONT.
The Market.
Although a large percentage of the
lily bulbs had to be thrown out early
in the season, the bulk of the remain-
ing stock produced superlatively fine
blooms, which found a ready Easter
market at $10 and $12 per hundred.
More lilies were sold this year than at
any previous holiday. Flowers of all
descriptions were relatively scarce last
week, but a fine crop of antirrhinums
came to the rescue, and a heavy cut of
the cheaper grades of roses helped to
fill orders.
Orchids were ordered in large quanti-
ties, but not ten per cent of the stock
was available. Violets also had to be
taken off the list, as two or three warm
days put them entirely out of business.
Various Notes.
The Darwin tulips brought in for
Easter were the finest ever grown at
the Dale Estate; most of the stems
measured about thirty inches in length
and met with a great sale at. $4 per
hundred. Repeat orders came in con-
tinually and the heavy staff in the pack-
ing room, including soldiers on furlough,
were going at it steadily until late Sat-
urday night. W. G. P.

NEWABK, K. J.
The Mftiket.
The day preceding h^Ntor 8tarte«1
with a heavy shower that developetl
into a thunder Btorm, but the rain
ceased before noon and did not keep
people indoors. Easter business was
satisfactory. Owing to the lateness of
the season there was an unusual va-
riety of flowers, and they were abun-
dant. Orchids, which were low-price*!
during the winter and early spring, bold
at high prices again. There was a fair
quantity of violets offered at a medium
price. Spiraea was of excellent quality;
pink was one of the novelties. Another
popular item was the pyramid azalea.
Some thought there would be a short-
age of Easter lilies, but these were suffi-
cient for the demand. Prices were about
normal. Valley was of good quality and
brought a good price. Potted rambler
roses were sold in large quantities.
Callas were fine and were in consider-
able demand; the yellow were sought
after by some. Hyacinths^ tulips, daffo-
•dils and sweet peas sold m large quan-
tities. Hampers and fancy baskets filled
■with flowers or planis proved popular
and brought good prices. There were
;good potted hydrangeas of both the
white and colored varieties. Many of
the retailers had branch stores in or-
der to handle the business.
Various Notes.
Philips Bros, report that their Eas-
ter trade was an unusually good one.
In addition to the Easter orders, they
had much funeral work last week, sell-
ing some exceptionally large pieces.
August Begerow had an attractive
window last week, representing an out-
door scene. The floor of the window
was covered to represent a lawn. At
various places about the ' ' lawn ' ' were
potted hydrangeas, ramblers and other
blooming plants. Suspended from the
ceiling, in such a, way as to appear to
be flying through the air, were artificial
birds. There were bird houses on posts,
with the birds apparently at home.
The S. A. Eogers Nursery Co. dis-
played an unusually fine stock of hy-
drangeas in pots, in addition to pink
spiraeas and other Easter specialties.
John W. Blakeley, of Elizabeth, had
a good Easter trade. To handle the
business he rented an annex at 86 Broad
street.
The H. & H. Florists have started
a flower store at 25 Union avenue, Cran-
ford, N: J.
E. P. Wolfinger had a fine window
display last week, made up almost en-
tirely of filled hampers and fancy bas-
kets. His Easter business was more
than good. R. B. M.

April 27, 1916.
DETROIT.
Easter trade exceeded all expectations
and, had the weather been more favor-
able, business would have been still bet-
ter. The weather was mild, but there
were light showers nearly every day
and almost a steady rain on Saturday.
Sunday was dreary and damp, with
clouds threatening rain all day.
The stock of cut flowers was well
equal to the demand, except valley and
good sweet peas. Sunday morning found
some of the retailers offering retail
prices for valley, in order to fill all
orders, while sweet peas also were at a
premium. The market was well sup-
plied with tulips, but daffodils were
scarce. Carnations were in good sup-
ply and every one was sold. The quality
was fine.
In the line of plants there was a
scarcity of small and medium-sized
azaleas; large ones were plentiful.
Choice hydrangeas and spiraeas also
were scarce. Plenty of good lilies were
to be had, although the sale was heavy.
Rose plants were not any too plentiful
during the week at the greenhouses,
although some of the stores had an
oversupply. Bulb pans were in big
demand; every available plant, some
of them not very choice, was bought
by Friday, and evidently all were
cleaned up at the retailers' places.
H. S.
TTBLBANA, ILL.
Nearly 4,000 people attended the
fourth annual exhibition of floral ar-
rangements staged in the Floricultural
building at the University of Illinois,
April 16. There were on exhibition
many types of corsage bouquets made
of various flowers. Wedding bouquets
also were in evidence, including every-
thing from the bride's bouquet to the
flower girl's basket. The table decora-
tions illustrated the use of different
types of flowers. Besides this, there
were numerous baskets, funeral designs
and sprays, box and vase arrangements,
and feature bouquets.
This show is the work of students in
Horticulture 32, a course in floral dec-
oration required of all floricultural stu-
dents. It is merely to give them an
idea of what work would be in a flo-
rist's establishment during a rush sea-
son. The students were assisted by
Miss Emily Dorner, of La Fayette, Ind.

PITTSBUKGH, PA.
The Market.
The Easter business, if not the best,
was as good as the best. Stock of all
kinds, excepting carnations, sold at
regular prices. There was enough to
satisfy all demands and the wholesalers
were cleaned up Saturday night. The
retailers did an excellent business. It,
rained from Friday to Monday, but this
did not seem to interfere with business.
There was a good demand for plants
during the first part of the week and
little attention was given to cut flowers
until Friday. There certainly never
were so many plants sold as this year;
anything with blooms sold at a fair
price.
Various Notes.
Mrs. E. A. "Williams had a fine collec-
tion of made-up baskets of blooming
plants in her store, and they sold as
quickly as she could get them in.
Eandolph & McClements had their
store and the conservatories adjoin-
ing filled with- pretty plant arrange-
ments. One of the representatives of a
western house remarked that they could
never sell half of the stock on hand,
but Easter Sunday saw them cleaned
out of everything fit to sell.
G. P. Weaklen & Co. were well
stocked, but sold everything.
The A. W. Smith Co. had an extra
force of salespeople to take care of the
increased trade, but Saturday there
seemed to be a riot in the store and one
could scarcely get near the counter. This
concern reports the largest Easter trade
it ever had, in both plants and cut
flowers.
Miss E. B. Maxwell reports a clean-
up of stock and that the volume of
business done was only limited by the
facilities for taking care of it.
The Blind Floral Co. made a specialty
of plants and expressed astonishment
at the number of them sold.
Wm. Turner knows, without waiting
for his bookkeeper's report, that busi-
ness this Easter exceeded that of any
previous Easter.
The W. & W. Flower Store, of Wash-
ington, Pa., reports cut flowers to have
come into their own again. "The big-
gest Easter business ever by fifty per
cent, ' ' was the report.
J. M. Johnston, of McKeesport, says:
"Believe me, it was some Easter. I
have four stores and each of them sold
everything in sight and needed more."
The express companies were handi-
capped with too much business and
florists had to suffer with other people.
Most of the stock arrived twelve hours
late, especially stock from the Hud-
son. Violets, which were a glut, seemed
to drop out of sight. Few came in for
Easter and, as a result, orders taken
were never filled. Some of the orders
delivered came back marked no good.
The market stands certainly had a
harvest. Prices were right and they
did a big business.
The frequent rains this spring have
kept growers from getting their fields
plowed for the carnation cuttings. The
result will be late planting and a big
rush to get stock out.
Many out-of-town people were disap-
pointed when the express companies
refused to accept cut flower shipments
after 3 o 'clock, April 22. Clarke.
Des Flalnes, m. — The partnership of
Norby & Hoefle has been dissolved,
C. P. Norby being successor to the firm.

The Easter Business.
The Easter business this year was bet-
ter than that of last year, and if we had
not had two days of unfavorable weath-
er it would have surpassed all previous
records. It was difficult to obtain vio-
lets, which, as usual, were in great de-
mand for corsages. Valley and prim-
roses served as substitutes. Potted lilies
were plentiful and sold well, as did
azaleas, genistas, rambler roses, hydran-
geas and bulbous stock. There were not
80 many temporary retailers of flowers
this year, but several grocers sold lilies
at a price one-half of that asked by the
florists. The public apparently pre-
ferrsd to pay the difference, as the cut
prices did not seem to affect the sales of
those in the trade. The weather was
warm and deliveries easy.
Various Notes.
H. F. A. Lange did a fine business,
selling most of his large supply. His
150,000 square feet of glass were work-
ing day and night in preparation for
the holiday, and his stock was excellent,
A batch of pelargoniums pleased so
many that by Saturday noon the sup-
ply was exhausted. Mr. Lange had
many varieties and anyone wishing a
novelty had no difficulty in finding it at
his store. His windows were good and
attracted many customers.
Harry I. Randall, proprietor of the
Bandall Flower Shop, reported his Eas-
ter business better than ever. His sup-
ply of stock was large and his cus-
tomers were not disappointed.
Fred Madaus did a good business and
his satisfaction was recorded by a broad
grin. He had a large number of small
plants and they sold well.

TOO LONG IN SAND?
I am sending you a sample of dis-
eased acalyphas. I bought 2,000 of the
original stock of plants a year ago.
They were not in a good growing con-
dition and the foliage was a whitish
color, looking as though arsenate of
lead had been used on them. I had the
plants potted and put in a temperature
of 75 degrees, but they would not grow,
except that they formed that little
round growth which you will see on the
sample. When a leaf does come, it
hardens. I bought them for an amuse-
ment park where I use 3.5,000 plants
every year, and I spoiled two long beds
with these plants last summer. Late
in the fall they grew a little. I saved
some stock and propagated about 3,000,
but now they are almost all like the
one enclosed. I have had stock of my
own for fifteen years and there is no
trace of this trouble on it. I bought
the stock for $18 a thousand and I
have never seen it offered at any other
place for less than $30, but as the firm
is one of the largest in the trade I
thought it was all right. Kindly tell
me what the trouble is and if anything
can be done to remedy it.
E. A. H.— Mo.
The plants arrived much shriveled,
but, so far as could be seen, they were
hard, stunted cuttings which had prob-
ably been in your cutting bench too
long. Cuttings of almost any kind,
which have remained in the sand a
long time after they are rooted and
have become hardened, rarely amount
to anything. A great part of the dis-
ease in geraniums and other bedding
The Wise Course
When contemplating the build-
ing of a greenhouse, the wise
course is to avoid extravagance
and delay by hiring an organi-
zation which features economy
and speed.
Our past is an open book, so
is our present, and we invite
you to investigate both.

BRINGING BACK BIRDS
BRINGS BUSINESS
The popular propaganda for tlie preservation of birds is producing
a demand for a class of merchandise that is peculiarly suitable as a side
line for florists. Aviaries are being featured by aggressive florists, who
have been quick to cash in on a movement that bids fair to become national
in scope.
T MAY be said that the
good people of this coun-
try are highly susceptible
to fads, whether the fads
or popular hobbies be of
the indoors or outdoors,
whether sensible or non-
sensical. John Smith and
Henry Jones, for instance,
their wives, daughters and
sons, for reasons sufficient to them-
selves, but also to have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that they are in the
running socially and not occupying back
seats, are liable to surrender to any
worth-while fad that happens along, the
only essential being that the fad ar-
rive at a psychological moment and that
the Smiths' and the Joneses' pocket-
books be sufficiently lined.
Fortunately, most fads and hobbies
live and die in the districts in which
they originate and never become na-
tional in scope; but sometimes a capital
idea starts rolling and does not stop un-
til it has the entire
country in its clutch,
and then continues in
vogue and is followed
with more or less ex-
aggerated zeal until it
has lost its novelty.

Fads Sell.
Now, while fads
may provide interest-
ing subjects for soci-
ologists, they are of
greater importance to
business men. The
commercial aspect is
that a widespread pro-
paganda of any sort
creates a large demand
for the clasp of mer-
chandise required in
its fulfillment. It has
been said, by those
qualified to speak, that
a fad of national pro-
portions, as a selling
factor for the given
merchandise, is greater
than any other form of
sales promotion, save
advertising. Further,
it is intimated that the
commercial effects of
such a fad are on a
par with those engendered by a nation-
ally conducted advertising campaign,
the only difference being that the for-
mer is free of charge.
Two Well Known Fads.
That a popular movement of any kind
has a latent selling power is demon-
strated by an incident some years ago,
when certain manufacturers of a nov-
elty tried to devise a fad that would
produce a quick distribution for their
goods. Their idea, however, was not
novel enough to catch the fancy of the
fickle public and, therefore, failed. The
comic statuette commonly known as
"Billikin" is said to have found a
quick sale, because it became a fad
through efforts on the part of the mak-
ers.
From the business axioms established
in this direction it would be reasonable
to assume that the tango surely accel-
erated the sale of dancing pumps,
gowns, floor wax, graphophones, etc.
'Bring Back the Birds" Window of Holm & OIsoo, St. Paul.
The sum total of business created by
that fad, if it could be computed in
dollars and cents, certainly would be
astonishing.
Heretofore there does not seem to
have been any fad or country -wide hob-
by that directly benefited florists com-
mercially, not considering in this con-
nection the customary heavy spring
buying on the part of the people, Moth-
ers' and Memorial day business and
other plant or cut flower holidays. Now,
however, there is under way a propa-
ganda that florists, by means of a side
line, can cash in on. During the late
winter there has been and at present
is in operation a so-called "Bring Back
the Birds" movement. Each spring
there has been an alarming decrease in
the number of birds, a condition that
of late has been the subject of frequent
editorials in the public press. As a re-
sult, many people have affiliated them-
selves with societies for the protection
and care of birds. Of course, there al-
ways have been Audu-
bon clubs and ornitho-
logical societies, but
this year the efforts of
the bird lovers are tak-
ing the form and force
of a propaganda, and
it is likely that next
year and the year after
the thing will become
wider in scope.
Bird Homes.
The argument of the
bird lovers is that the
birds must be provided
with specially made
houses for nesting pur-
poses, that they must
be fed and shielded
from all agencies of
destruction. This nat-
urally creates a de-
mand for bird houses,
bird baths and bird
foods and, as these are
more or less associated
with gardens and flow-
ers, it is fitting that
florists should reap the
profits from their sale.
Here is a side line for
florists that a fad or
propaganda will help
to sell.

BRINGING BACK BIRDS
BRINGS BUSINESS "®^
The 2)opi(l(ir propofjanda for the preservation of hirds is prodnciiifi
a demand for a class of merchandise that is pcculiarhj suitable as a sidf
line for florists. Aviaries are being featured by agrprssivc florists, who
have been quick to cash in on a movement that bids fair to become national
in scope.
T MAY be said that the
Soocl people of this coun-
try are hijjhly susceptible
to fads, whether the fads
or popular hobbies be of
the indoors or outdoors,
%Yhether sensible or non-
sensical. John Smith and
Henry Jones, for instance,
their wives, daughters and
sons, for reasons sufficient to thoni-
selvos, but also to have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that they are in the
running socially and not occupying back
seats, are liable to surrender to any
worth-while fad tliat hai)pcns along, tlie
only essential being that the fad ar-
rive at a psychological moment and that
the Smiths' and the Joneses' pocket-
books be sufficiently lined.
Fortunately, most fads and hol)bies
live and die in the districts in which
they originate and never become na-
tional in scope; but sometimes a capital
idea starts rolling and docs not stop un-
til it has the entire
couutrj' in its clutcli,
and then continues in
vogue and is followed
with more or less ex-
aggerated zeal until it
has lost its novelty.

the bird propaganda, now are making
houses for birds in many novel designs
and shapes. An idea of the variety may
be had from the illustration on page
18, which is a reproduction of a re-
cent bird window in the store of Holm
& Olson, of St. Paul. Other florists and
retailers have been quick to take ad-
vantage of the movement and are do-
^^g B. good business in the side line.
Following is a letter by Hermann
Lange, of Worcester, Mass.,, who speaks
enthusiastically of the new source of
profits:
Blrdology.
"With the campaign for feeding the
birds of Worcester and vicinity during
the period that the ground was covered
with snow, has come a moire general in-
terest in the care of birds and conserva-
tion of bird life. 'Bring Back the
Birds i^-is a slogan that may well be
adopted by every community where the
birds have been driven away or killed
through various agencies. But in or-
der to bring back the birds their faith
and friendship must first be gained, and
they must be shown tha:t, while for-
merly they fvere abused and driven
away, they now will be protected and
cared for.
* * With the advent of spring, bird lov-
ers are turning their thoughts and at-
tention to making and placing bird
houses in their gardens. Within a few
weeks the birds will begin to nest, and
if they find houses for their special use
they are sure to return in full force to
the places from which they have been
absent so long.
A Style for Each Kind.
"Recently I had a display of happy
bird houses, little bird boxes made from
hollowed logs, covered and combined
with birch and cedar bark. These houses
are made in several styles to conform
with the nesting peculiarities of the
birds for which they are intended.
"The birds that need boxes for their
nests are the bluebird, the house wren,
chickadee, tree swallow, purple martin
and flicker. The houses are easily
cleaned and some of the larger ones,
when placed on the tops of long poles,
are pretty ornaments for any" garden.
When they are inhabited they make an
interesting and educational feature.
"One of the bird houses is designed
for the wren family and is made from
a hollowed cedar post, with a slanting
top and a perch bracket in front of the
entrance. Another wren house is made
of slabs of wood, covered with a combi-
nation of cedar and birch bark. An-
other house may be opened and closed,
thus making it easy to clean at the end
of the season. .|iThe martin houses are
designed for several families and range
from a plain 4-family house to an elab-
orate apartment house for fourteen fam-
ilies.
Propaganda Likely to Grow.
"The public in general are enthusi-
asticover the idea and have already in-
stalled the little houses. I have re-
ceived many orders, and, no doubt, the
birds of Worcester will have beautiful
made-to-order homes this summer."
It is evident that Opportunity, ac-
companied by Additional Profits, is rap-
ping loudly on the doors of those who
retail, and the men who conduct their
stores with their headfj as well as with
their hands at least will give heed. In-
asmuch as the bird propaganda is like-
ly to grow each year, there is not much
danger of overstocking or having un-
salable ^oods on hand. What won't
move this year may be featured next
year.
ANOTHER DE LUXE STOBE.
As self-laudation nowadays is in
vogue even among the elite and those
heretofore occupying pedestals, the fio-
rists of the country may as well have
a try at a few self-made encomiums. But
for what can the trade clap itself on
the back and say: "We did it; they
are ours"! To be' sure, nothing more
or less than the de luxe flower stores
of the country! What other trade or
line of business can boast of prettier,
more artistic stores? French mirrors,
handsome tile floors, classic stone
seats, rich draperies, delightful foun-
tains, costly woodwork — all the mate-
rials that help to make ideal set-
tings for flowers have been utilized.
A New York millionaire was so
fascinated by the interior of a San
Francisco flower store while on a visit
there last summer that at New Year's,
in New York, when ordering a batch
of floral greetings to be presented to .
his San IVancisco friends, he specified
the store that had pleased hiin as the
one that should execute the orders.
But the San Francisco store does not
stand alone — there are replicas of it
everywhere.
The accompanying illustration shows
one of the de luxe stores on a smaller
scale. Look at it closely and note the
artistic get-up. Surely every man or
woman that enters will be glad that he
or she did so. And this business of
pleasing the aesthetic senses of the peo-
ple is not extravagance; there is a com-
mercial equivalent that makes for big-
ger and better business.
The illustration is of the new store
of the MacRorie-McLaren Co., on
Powell street, San Francisco. On the
day of the opening, April 18, every
woman visitor was presented with a
phaleenopsis corsage. Incidentally that
day marked the company's advent into
the retail end of the business.

MAEIINO OASBIEBS LIABLE.
It will be good news to those of the
trade who have suffered through delays
on the part of the express companies
that the courts are beginning to afford
prompt redress.
A Municipal court decision at New
York April 27 held that the Erie rail-
road was liable for loss sustained by
delay in delivering perishable products.
William R. Mankoff & Co. purchased
four carloads of onions at Pine Hill
and Florida, N. Y., valued" at approxi-
mately $1,800. They accepted the goods
on arrival, but alleged that when an
attempt was made to dispose of the
onions it was found one-half of them
had been frozen and damaged, causing
a loss of $811.16, for which they
brought suit and obtained judgment.
The defense took a stay for an appeal.
It was charged by the plaintiffs that
the shipment should have been carried
to its destination within twenty-four -
to seventy-two hours, whereas seven
days elapsed from the time of shipment
to delivery, and this delay was respon-
sible for the damage to the product.
Allen S. Hubbard of counsel for the
railway company contended the prod-
uct was in bad condition when received
by the railroad. Justice Jacob Marks
said:
"I find for the plaintiffs on the
ground that it is the duty of the rail-
road company to notify the owners
where there is congestion at the time
of shipment, and where unreasonable
delay results in delivery of perishable
goods. ' '
BADOLEY TO THE DEFENSE!
The Sunday Call, of Newark, N. J.,
for April 30 gave another illustration
of the truth of the old saying that "a
little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
by printing the following editorial:
Tremendous sales of Easter flowers, which now
inclade every variety, were recorded a week ago.
One splendid American Beauty, bought on Satur-
day night of a Newark florist, was still in perfect
bloom on Wednesday. An observant grower said:
"Well, that flower wasn't pickled." It seems
that is the trade name for flowers that are put
on ice or in cold storage. The grower delivers
these to the New York middleman about tbre«
weeks before the busy season and he "pickles"
them until the big demand comes and hign prices
prevail. Then the flowers are taken from cold

storage and sent to the retailer, "iced up," and
be keeps them in much the same condition until
sold. A couple of hours in a warm room destroys
their loveliness, where a fresh. flower would have
lasted days, with ordinary care. The fault is
mainly with the New York middleman, and thou-
sands of customers are being lost to florists by
the practice. Those retailers who buy directly
from the grower and avoid the New York dealers
five tlieir customers what they should have, a
resh-cut flower, but the trade Is monopolized
to a dangerous extent by the metropolitan com-
mission houses. As an instance of the difference
in the prices of flowers, a month before Easter
orchids could be had for $10 a hundred at Lake-
wood, and the day before Easter they were selling
for $2 apiece.
Whereupon William G. Badgley, grow-
er, commission man and publicist, took
his pen in hand and indited the follow-
ing epistle to the editor of the Call:
In reply to the above editorial, entitled "Tre-
mendous Sale of Easter Flowers," I advise you
that there is not a wholesale commission florist
1b New York city who "pickles" American
Beauty roses or any other cut flowers for three
weeks, and none, to my knowledge, for even one
day, unless the demand for them on the day
they come in is not great enough to cause them
to clean up.
If there Is any "pickling" done, It Is absolutely
done by the grower, and such "pickling" on their
part has been vigorously condemned by the whole-
saler for the past twenty-one years to my
knowledge.
The particular case that you have come In con-
tact with no doubt was a retailer who had pur-
chased "pickled" goods at a low price and en-
deavored to sell them at the true value of fresh
goods, and, having been caught in the act, has
undertaken to shift the responsibility to others,
as I do not know one retailer in Newark who
could be fooled Into buying "pickled" flowers if
he did not want them.
The wholesale florists of New York are not a
monopoly to any dangerous extent; in fact, they
are not a monopoly at all. There Is as much
competition in our trade as there is in any busi-
ness that ever existed, aside from the fact that
the goods we handle are so perishable that they
cannot be held for flxed prices.
I do not see, either, how our business could be
monopolired, unless a few growers could control
the glass market, which I consider quite remote,
for should it come to a point where a few did
get control and fix prices that would make their
dealings profitable, there would be nothing to
prevent anybody from building greenhouses and
participating in those profits.
The prices we obtained for orchids and lily
of the valley for Easter were not made possible
by any flxed agreement by anybody, but were
caused by the long established principle of supply
and demand, and cannot be traced to any other
source.
Your editorial is absolutely contrary to tme
conditions that exist in our business, and abso-
lutely unjustified, and I further advise you that
if all lines of industry were conducted on a
principle as fair as ours, and by men as high In
principle as those engaged in our business, there
would not be much cause for complaint from the
buying public. Wm. G. Badgley.

father was a minister, but the son became a gardener. He built the first green-
house in that part of the state. In 1894 he removed to Galesburg to get a larger
field. Growing a general stock for retail trade, he used tiny rubber bands to mend
carnation calyxes when they split. Feeling the need of something better, he
invented the first wire staple used for the purpose, which he had so perfected by
1908 that he patented it and introduced it to the trade. Today it is known the
country over. Mr. Pillsbury is a member of the S. A. F., the F. T. D., the Carna-

FABFUGIUMS FOR POTTING.
Will you please tell me how to care
for farfugiums during the summer so
they will make large clumps for sepa-
rating? When should they be separated
and what care should be given so as
to have nice plants in 4-inch pots for
early spring trade! What kind of soil
is best suited to them. A. B. C— O.
Plant the farfugiums out in any good
garden soil now. They will make good-
sized clumps, which can be lifted and
separated before potting, about the end
of September. Use a good fibrous loam,
with some sand and a little leaf-mold
added, when potting these divisions and
keep them in a close frame until estab-
lished. C. W.

The Florists' Review
May 4, 1916.
the bird piopagauda, now are making
houses for birds in many novel designs
and shapes. An idea of the variety may
Ih' had from the illustration on ])af.'i'
1:;, wliit'li is a rt'|)roduction of a re-
cent bird window in the store of Holm
& Olson, of St. Paul. Other florists and
retailers have been quick to take ad-
vantage of the movement and are do-
ing a good business in the side line.
Following is a letter by Hermann
Lange, of Worcester. Mass., who speaks
enthusiastic-lily of the new source of
profits:
Birdology.
"With tlie campaign for feeding the
liirds of Worcester and vicinity during
the jieriod tliat the ground was covered
with snow, has come a more general in-
terest in the care of birds and conserva
tiou of l)ird life. 'Briug Back the
Birds' is a slogan that may well be
adopted by every community where the
birds have been driven away or killed
through various agencies. But in or-
der to bring back the birds their faith
and friendship must first be gained, and
they must be shown that, while for-
merly they were abused and driven
away, they now will be protected and
cared for.
"With the advent of spring, bird lov-
ers are turning their thoughts and at-
tention to making and placing bird
houses in their gardens. Within a few
weeks the birds will begin to nest, ami
if they find houses for their special use
they are sure to return in full force to
the places from Avhich they have been
alisent so long.
A Style for Each Kind.
••Recently I had a display of happy
bird houses, little bird boxes made from
liollnwed logs, covered and combined
witJ! birch and cedar bark. These houses
are made in several styles to conform
with the nesting peculiarities of the
birds for which they are intended.
"The birds that need boxes for their
nests are the bluebird, the house wren,
chickadee, tree swallow, purple martin
and fliclcer. The houses are easily
cleaned and some of the larger ones,
\vhen jdaced on the tops of long poles,
are |)retty ornaments for any garden.
When they are inhabited they make an
interesting and educational feature.
' ' One of the bird houses is designed
for the wren family and is made from
a hollowed cedar post, with a slanting
top and a perch bracket in front of the
entrance. Another wren house is made
of slabs of wood, covered with a combi-
nation of cedar and birch bark. An-
other house may be opened and closed,
thus making it easy to clean at the end
of the season. The martin houses are
designed for several families and range
from a plain 4-family house to an elab-
orate apartment house for fourteen fam
ilies.
Propaganda Likely to Grow.
"The public in general are enthusi
astic over the idea and have already in-
stalled the little houses. I have re-
ceived many orders, and, no doubt, the
birds of Worcester will have beautiful
made-to-order homes this summer.''
It is evident that Opportunity, ac-
companied by Additional J'rofits, is rap-
ping loudly on the doors of those Avho
retail, and the men who conduct their
stores Avith their heads as well as with
their hands at least will give heed. In-
asmuch as the bird propaganda is like-
ly to grow each year, there is not much
daii.uer of overstocking or ha\ing un-
salable goods on hand. What won't
move this year may be feature<l next
\(';ir.
ANOTHER DE LUXE STORE.
As self-laudation nowadays is in
\'ogue even among the elite and those
heretofore occupying pedestals, the flo-
rists of the country may as well ha\<'
a try at a few self-made encomiums. But
tor what can the trade clap itself on
the l)ack and say: "We did it; they
:ne ours"? To he sure, nothing more
oi- less than the de luxe flower stores
of the country I What other trade or
line of business can boast of prettier,
more artistic stores? French mirrors,
iiandsome tile floors, classic stone
M'.'its, rich draperies, delightful foun-
Inins, costly woodwork — all the mate-
rials that help to make ideal set-
tiiii's for flowers hM\e licen utilized.
A New York millionaire was so
fascinated by the interior of a San
Francisco flower store while on a visit
there last summer that at New Year's,
in New York, when ordering a batch
of floral greetings to be presented to
his San Francisco friends, he specified
the store that had pleased him as the
one that should execute the orders.
Rut the San Francisco store does not
stand alone — there are replicas of it
everywhere.
The accompanying illustration shows
one of the de luxe stores on a smaller
scale. Look at it closely and note the
urtistic get-up. Surely every man or
woman that enters will be glad that he
or she did so. And this business of
pleasing the aesthetic senses oi' tlie peo-
ple is not extravagance; theie is a com-
mercial equivalent that makes for big-
ger and better business.
The illustration is of the now store
of the MacRorie-McLaren Co., on
Powell street, San Francisco. On the
day of the opening, April 18, every
woman visitor was presented with a
lihalaenopsis corsage. Incidentally that
day marked the company's advent into
the letail end of the husines-.
New Retail Store of the MacRorie-McLaren Co., San Francisco.
MAKING CARRIERS LIABLE.
It will be good news to those of the
trade who have suffered through delays
on the part of the express companies
that the courts are beginning: to afford
]>rompt redress.
A Municipal court decision at New
York April 27 held that the Erie rail-
road was liable for loss sustained by
delay in delivering perishable products.
William E. Mankoff & Co. ])urchased
four carloads of onions at Pine Hill
and Florida, N. Y., valued at approxi-
mately $1,800. They accepted the goods
on arrival, but alleged that when an
attempt was made to dispose of the
onions it was found one-half of them
had been frozen and damage<l, causing
a loss of .$811.1G, for which they
brought suit and obtaine.i judgment.
The defense took a stay for an appeal.
It was charged by the plaintiffs that
the shipment should have been carried
to its destination within twenty-four
to seventy-two hours, whiMoas seven
days elapsed from the time of shipment
to delivery, and this delay was respon-
sible for the damage to the product.
Allen S. Hubbard of counsel for the
railway company contended the prod-
uct was in bad condition when received
by the railroad, .lustice .Tacoh Marks
said :
"I find for the pluintifts on the
ground that it is the duty of the rail-
ro;id company to notif\ the owners
where there is congestion at the time
of shipment, and where unreasonable
delay results in delivery of perishable
goods. "
BADGLEY TO THE DEFENSE!
The Sunday Call, of Newark. N. J.,
for April .'!0 gave another illustration
of the truth of the old saying that "a
little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
by j)rinting the following editorial:
Trf'iiioiKkHis sales of Kiistor f1i>wi>rs, which now
inclinli' every variety, were lecor-led n week apo.
One splendid .Anierjtan Tieniity. lioii;iht on Satur-
day iii^lit of a Newark llorlst, was still in perfect

that is the trade name for (lone:s that are put
on Ire or in cold storage. The cr'uver delivem

stornso and sent to the retailer, "iced up," and
he keeps thein in uiucli the same condition until
sold. A couple of hours in a wiirni room destroys
theii' loveliness, where a fresh llower would have
lasted days, with ordinary care. The fault is
mainly with the New York niiddlemiin, and thou-
sands of customers are heiu); lost to florists by
the iiractice. Those retailers who buy directly
from llie grower and avoid the New York dealers
pive their customers what they should have, a
fresh-cut flower, but the tiiide is nionoi)ollzed
to a dangerous extent by tlu- metropolitan com-
mission houses. As an instance of the difference
in the prices of flowers, a month before Kaster
orchids could be liad for $10 a hundred at Lake-
wcxid. and the day before Kaster they were selllnj;
for $2 apiece.
"Whereupon William G. Badgley, grow-
er, coniniisKiou man and publifist, took
his pen in hand and indited the follow-
ing epistle to the editor of the Call:
In reply to the above editorial, entitled '"Ire-
inendous Sale of Easter Flowers," I advise von
that there is not a wholesale commission floiist
in New York city who "pickles" American
Beauty roses or any other cut flowers for three
weeks, and none, to my knowledge, for even one
day, unless the demand for tliem on tlii' dnv
they come in is not great enough to cause them
to clean up.
If there is any "pickling" done. It is absolutely
done by the grower, and such "pickling" on their
part has been vigorously condemned by the whole
salcr for the past twenty-one years to mv
knowledge.
The particular case that you have come in con-
tH't with no doubt was a retailer who liad pur-
chased "pickled" goods at a low price and eu
deavored to sell them at the true value of fresh
goods, and, having been caught in the act, has
undertaken to shift the responsibility to others,
as I do not know one retailer in Newark who
lould 1)0 fooled into buying "pickled" flowers if
he did not want them.
Tlie wholesale florists of New York are not a
monopfdy to any dangerous extent; in fact, thev
are not a monopoly at all. There is as mucii
competition In our trade as there is in any busi-
ness that ever existed, aside from the fact that
the goo<is we handle are so perishable that thev
cannot be held for fixed prices.
I do not see, either, how our l)usiness could be
monopolized, tmless a few growers could control
the glass market, which I consider quite remote,
for should it come to n point where a few did
get control and fix prices that would make their
dealings profitable, there would be nothing to
lirevent anybody from building greenhouses anil
[■articipating in those profits.
The prices we obtained for orchids and lllv
of the valley for Kaster were not made possible
by any fixed agreement by anybody, hut were
caused by the long established principle of sui)plv
and demand, and cannot l)e traced to any other
source.
Y'our editorial is absolutely contrary to true
conditions that exist In our business, and abso-
lutely unjustified, and I further advise you that
if all lines of industry were conducted on a
principle as fair as ours, and by men as high in
principle as those engaged in our business, there
would not he much cause for complaint from the
buying public. Wm. G. Padglev.

F. T. D. WAVES ON EASTER.
Never in the history of the business
was there so much use of the Florists'
Telegraph Delivery and out-of-town
service as during Easter week of this
year. It is plain that the retailer is
waking up to the fact that if he does
a little advertising he will get results.
I believe that the orders sent out of
Detroit during Easter week amounted
to several thousand dollars. The busi-
ness kept the F. T. D. girl busy all the
week giving addresses to florists here.
Of course many retailers will make
a fuss about small orders for only $1 or
$2 each, and I will admit that I have
had some of these myself, which re-
quired some of my money in order to
make delivery, but the larger orders
make up for these and, considering the
advertising these small orders have
given us, we ought to be good-natured
and not kick. When one looks at it
from another standpoint all arguments
have no foundation and are even un-
businesslike. It is ridiculous for any
one to tell a customer who wants to
spend $1.50 or $2.00 that we do not de-
liver such small orders.
It is not at all businesslike to side-
step the F. T. D. service; it has come to
stay and its foundation is strong, as it
means money in every member's
pocket. The time is here when every
member is waking up to the fact that
more members in more cities will help
to increase the efficiency of F. T. D.
Really, why so many retailers cannot
see the advantages of the Florists ' Tele-
graph Delivery is beyond my under-
standing. Albert Pochelon.
FLORISTS POOR BOOKKEEPERS?
There is nothing more provoking than
the results of a lack of ordinary book-
keeping and billing systems on the
part of some of the rather substantial
florists. From recent experiences it
seems necessary to request your paper
to open its columns to a narration of
the miserable experiences arising out
of poorly kept records of telegraph or-
ders or orders placed by correspond-
ence between two florists. In order
that the subject may be opened, we
will relate recent incidents and show
the necessity for some consideration
of the subject.
Last December we placed an order
by wire with an Illinois florist, to de-
liver a corsage of violets and pink roses
to a person attending a seminary in
the suburb of the town in which the
Illinois florist had his establishment.
In the usual way we specified "Card"
and "C. P.," giving the name of our
customer, who desired his card in the
box of flowers. In due course of time,
among other mail, there came a letter
addressed to the individual who had
placed the order with us, in care of
us, instead of being addressed to us.
Our office records did not show anyone
of that name employed by us, and, in
the routine handling of several hundred
pieces of* mail daily, the letter went
through the usual course of being re-
turned to the writer.
April 22 the same customer placed a
similar order and we endeavored to
give this order to the same florist, who
bears a rating of from $10,000 to $12,-
000, and has a first-grade -credit. We
were much chagrined to receive a reply
from the florist stating that, unless we
paid last December's bill, the order
could not be accepted. No invoice had
ever been rendered us. No communi-
cation of any kind had been received
from the florist mentioned, but we now
received from him an invoice addressed
to our customer, care of us, showing
that, without authority, he had entered-
a charge against our customer instead
of against us.
We had a similar case of this kind
in February, in dealing with a Massa-
chusetts florist. In that instance the
communication reached our customer,
who had paid his bill to us when plac-
ing the order, with the result that he
was furious.
We are placing these instances be-
fore you in the hope that some discus-
sion may be started on proper methods
of booking and billing orders between
florists. We shall be pleased to see
your columns carry the opinions of oth-
ers in this regard.

BOSTON SHOW PLANS.
The present year appears to be one
of more than usual interest in horticul-
tural exhibitions. The success of the
recent flower shows at Philadelphia and
New York indicates this emphatieally.
The next important horticultural event
will be the Grand May flower show of
the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, which is to be held in Horticul-
tural hall, Boston, May 10 to 14.
The management of the society is
making preparations for this event and
no effort is being spared to make the
exhibition a notable success in every
way. In addition to the liberal appro-
priation for premiums made by the so-
ciety, many special prizes are offered
by a number of prominent and influen-
tial members, which will make this show
the most brilliant and most comprehen-
sive of recent years.
The best products of many of the
noted private collections in the vicinity
of Boston will be offered to public
view, as well as the specialties of the
most famous growers of plants and
flowers in this and other states. Not-
able features wUl be the collections of
orchids, rhododendrons, roses and artis-
tic displays of flowering and foliage
plants. A class for miniature Japa-
nese gardens will be one of the novel-
ties of this exhibition.
The show will open Wednesday, May
10, at noon, continuing through Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday, from 10
a. m. to 10 p. m., and Sunday from 1 to
10 p. m. The Bostonia Orchestra will
furnish music every afternoon and eve-
ning from 3 to 5 and from 7:30 to 9:30
0 'clock.
Commercial growers, especially, will
flnd this exhibition an unusual opportu-
nity to call public attention to the prod-
ucts of their greenhouses and nurseries.
The premium list, which aggregates
about $5,000, may be had on applica-
tion to the secretary at Horticultural
hall, Boston, and special trade tickets
will be sold in lots of twenty-five or
more at half the regular admission
price. W. P. Bich, Sec'y.
Haarlem, Holland. — A list of the
members of the Dutch Bulb Exporters'
Association contains 130 names, all of
whom have agreed " subject to
penalty, to invoice in future for whole-
sale trade, all charges for cases and
packing at cost price."
HiUegom, Holland. — With a surplus
last season, E. Van der Schoot & Son
donated to the British Bed Cross over
340,000 bulbs for planting about the
military hospitals in France and Eng-
land. The showing of bloom has occa-
sioned comment that has indicated that
the surplus was not misused.
Paris, France. — Bosarians the world
over will learn with regret of the death
of Jules Gravereaux. In his rosary at
L'Hay he created, not merely a collec-
tion of roses unique in the whole world,
but also instituted and prosecuted most
important scientific work. His inesti-
mable services were justly rewarded by
the ribbon of the order Commander du
M6rite Agricole and the badge of Of-
ficier de la L6gion d'Honneur.
Boskoop, Holland. — All through the
district it is said quantities of last
year's crop of spiraea are still on hand,
unsalable at any price. Iris also have
been hard to move. This year many
growers are growing vegetables instead
of plants.
London, England. — In the glass
houses operated for the metropolitan
market from fifty to seventy-five per
cent of the employees have joined the
colors, with the result that, quite ap-
propriately, the nurseries are being
largely operated by women.
Copenhagen, Denmark. — In order to
positively identify their Danish stock
Hjalmar Hartmann & Co. have adopted
a trade-mark, the use of which is hoped

SPBINQ BEBDiNa.
Sales of bedding geraniums will start
soon, if they have not yet commenced,
and it behooves us to get the plants in
as good condition as possible for our
customers. Of course you must have
noticed that the average purchasers of
gerai^iums or, for that matter, any other
bedding plants, invariably prefer such
as have a truss of flowers open, and
that they will select small plants with
a flower open rather than much stronger
ones not in bloom. It is necessary,
therefore, to cater to this taste and
have as many plants carrying flowers
as possible. Do not force the plants
with liquid manure. That will only
cause soft, flowerless wood to be pro-
duced. If they look a little starved,
give them a little -Bon Arbor, or even
nitrate of soda in the water to tone
them up.
Keep the plants spaced apart from
time to time. If greenhouse bench
space is limited, you can always use
coldframes, especially if a little warm
manure is well firmed before the plants
go in. Plants not yet showing flowers
should have a light, sunny bench, with
plenty of fresh air. If they have been
grown crowded together some distance
from the light and are drawn, they will
need all the remaining weeks between
now and selling time to get into pre-
sentable shape.
How about your own stock for an-
other year? The too common practice
is to sell all the best plants and plant
out any culls and left-overs in the field
for stock. Those who persist in this
will soon find disease attacking their
plants, and wiU find themselves under
the necessity of buying stock from a
distance to replace that which is run
out by their own folly. Keep back
enough healthy plants for your own use.
Never mind if they are small and only
in 2-inch or 2% -inch pots. These, if
given a shift, will make excellent plants
to set out in June. If you have good
cuttings still on your stock plants, put
these singly in 2-inch pots of sandy
loam on a warm, sunny bench. Pot
firmly and nearly all will root and make
nice plants in the field before fall. A
single pinch will suflSce for them.
DIS£AS£D GEBANIUM FOUAaE.
Will you kindly give me some infor-
mation as to the cause of the disease
on the enclosed geranium leaff
W. E.— Ind.
The leaf forwarded was much de-
cayed when received. It had evidently
been attacked by some fungoid disease.
The cause of this is hard to determine.
It may originate in the cutting bench
by propagating from unhealthy plants,
or may be due to improper cultural
conditidns. Pick off oadly affected
leaves and destroy any hopeless look-
ing plants. Give a spraying of Fun|[ine
or Bordeaux mixture when the foliage
is dry. Eepeat the dose a week later.
Ventilate freely; keep the temperature
down to 50 degrees at night. Keep a
dry atmosphere and avoid syringing the
plants. Keep them well spaced and a
little on the dry side at the root. Fol-
low out these rules and you should be
able to rid yourself of this trouble.

FOOB GBOWTH OF GERANIUMS.
I am sending you some geraniums and
should like to know what is wrong with
thepi. The buds on the S. A. Nutt are
small, and when they open they have
a withered look. The pink ones have a
good bud, but do not make a nice bloom.
I used a black loam, with some old hot-
bed manure. The plants were touched
with frost about two months ago, when
the fire went out one cold night. They
were in a temperature of about 42
to 50 degrees all winter. They have
been in 4-inch pots since the last of
January. Can you suggest a remedy
or tell me the cause of this trouble f
G. H. P.— Pa.
The plants appear to Have good roots,
but the growth is puny and they have
a starved appearance. If the plants
have been in 4-inch pots since the end
of January, they have pretty well ex-
hausted the soil they are in and I would
give the surface soil a scratch over
and give them a sprinkling of fine bone.
I would also give them a watering with
nitrate of soda at the rate of a pound
to twelve gallons of water, but do not
continue watering with this, as it is a
powerful stimulant. Give the plants a
light, sunny, airy house, kept at 50 to
52 degrees at night. You should notice
a marked improvement in them before
Memorial day. C. W.
GEBANIUMS FOB STOCK.
I wish to grow a few thousand gera-
niums next year, but I have no stock
plants. If I buy rooted cuttings, pot
them in 2^-inch pots and set them
outside when the weather is warmer,
will they make many cuttings by fall,
or would they make more if I set them
out in a bench in the greenhouse?
About how many cuttings would I get
from 1,000 plants? G. S.— N. J.
If you can spare a bench in one of
your houses, I would prefer to plant
there rather than outdoors. Cuttings
made under glass are firmer and less
liable to damp off than outdoor-grown
stock. If you had stock in 4-inch pots
to plant out now, you would get dou-
ble or treble the number of cuttings
you can get from rooted cuttings pur-
chased now. The last named should
average you ten or twelve cuttings each
by fall and they will break away and
yield a good many more between that
time and spring. Do not make the soil
in the bench too rich for your gera-
niums. Us* some well-rotted manure
and add some fine bone to it. Use the
latter as a top-dressing from time to
time, as the plants need a stimulant.

FOB CUT FLOWEBS.
If you have not planted any gladioli
outdoors yet, do so now. Cover the
bulbs to a depth of five or six inches;
then they will not be likely to blow
over in wet or windy weather, as shal-
low planted ones will do. Of course all
the gladioli should not be put out now;
make successional plantings until the
middle or end of June, to have flowers
over a long season. The varieties to be
grown will depend on local conditions.
America still is the most popular vari-
ety, while Mrs. Francis King comes
second in favor. Other good commercial
sorts are Halley, Brenchleyensis, Baron

GLADIOLI FOB EABLY WINTEB.
We have a house containing solid

latter part of August. We should like
to know whether it would be practicable
to carry gladiolus bulbs through the
summer d^ and plant them down the
side of the sweet pea rows, so as to have
Gladiolus corms can be carried over
dry in a cool cellar and planted as sug-
gested. Of course you will not get
spikes of the same quality as from
earlier plantings. Gladiolus corms are
increased in three ways: First, by
natural division or increase of corms;
second, by seed, which can be sown in
beds or nursery rows and will flower
the second and third years, and third,
from cormlets, which appear in large
numbers on the corms of some varieties.
These cormlets, or bulblets, should be
carefully collected and stored in paper
bags, or, better still, packed in sand
over winter and then sown in drills
like peas outdoors. I find that the
cormlets keep plumper if packed in
sand than when stored away in bags.
By saving cormlets it is possible to
increase particular varieties in quan-
tity. From seed a large proportion
would not come true. C. W.

BOSES FOB THE BEOINNEB.
We have three beds, two of which are
solid and one raised. The solid beds
are each 4x60 feet and the raised bed
is 3x60 feet. The three beds we intend
to plant to roses for the retail trade.
We want easy doers for a start, as this
is our first attempt at growing roses.
We are thinking of planting one solid
bed to Double White ELillarnejr' the
other solid bed to Killarney Brilliant;
tli§ raised bed, which has a bead room
6f three feet, to Hadley and Ophelia.
Are these varieties as good as others in
the same colors f How many plants
would it take to plant the three beds,
and how warm should they be grown at
nightf Any information would be ap-
preciated. H. W. 8.— Md.
In the solid beds both Double White
Killarney and Killarney Brilliant will
do well, but to a beginner I would rec-
ommend the old Killarney instead of
Killarney Brilliant, for it is an easier
grower and will stand more abuse. For
the raised bed I would suggest Mrs.
Aaron Ward instead of either Hadley
or Ophelia, for it requires less head
room than either of the others. Three
feet is not enough head room for Had-
fey or Ophelia. As there is only room
^or 144 plants on the raised bed, I
would not plant more than one variety,
because even under the most favorable
conditions you would not avera|^e more
than 300 blooms per month during the
winter.
Setting the plants fifteen inches apart
in the rows, four rows to the solid beds
and three rows to the raised bed, you
will need 192 plants of Killarney; 192
of Double White Killarney; 144 of Mrs.
Aaron Ward. The night temperature
should be 60 to 62 degrees. W. J. K.
BOSE PBOPAGATION IK HAWAH.
Can you tell me how to propagate rose
cuttings successfully in this climate f
The temperature at night is from 65 to
75 degrees and in the daytime from 85
to 95 degrees. Bose cuttings placed in
sand in a shady place made a profuse
growth of leaves for about three weeks
and then suddenly died without having
formed any callus or roots. I got only
two or three plants from 1,000 cuttings.
I cotdd try layering, of course, but that
is a great deal of work.
H. J. — Hawaii.
I think propagation by means of cut-
tings would be difficult in your warm
climate. Layering, while slower, would
be safe. Have you tried budding or
grafting? The latter method should
prove safe, provided you can secure
suitable stock on which to bud. Per-
haps some Be view readers who have
tried rose propagation in a warm cli-
mate will give their experience. C. W.
MILDEW ON BAMBLEB BOSES.
Please tell me what is wrong with
my Baby Eambler roses, of which I am
sending a specimen. I got them last
year and had them in 5-inch pots, mov-
ing them to a bed in August. The soil
contained some loam and sand. I got
the soil from a wood where the leaves
had rotted. I feed the plants with
liquid cow manure about every two
weeks. Would keeping them too wet
be the cause of the trouble f I am not
watering tkem now and will let them
dry out thoroughly. The temperature
is 50 to 55 degrees at night. I have
cleaned out my greenhouse and raked
all the soil under the benches. Should
I burn sulpt^urt The plants are still'
growing and are coming into bud.
M. 0. P.— Ind.
The foliage forwarded was simply
covered with mildew. If your plants
as a whole are affected in this way, I
am afraid it is a pretty hopeless propo-
sition to try to clean them. You will;
simply ruin your plants altogether if
you burn sulphur in the house. If you
have steam pipes, paint a little on oneF
of the pipes. If hot water is used,
paint some on the flow pipe. You can
also help the plants in some measure
by spraying with Pungine, Sulphocide
or some other reliable proprietary
fungoid remedy, applying it as directed
on the cans. Mildew is usually caused
by cold drafts. Ventilation must be
carefully given. The trouble is encour-
aged, also, by improper atmospherio
conditions and wide fluctuations in tem-
perature.
Your soil was not just suitable for
roses. In potting again, use good de-
cayed pasture sod with some rotted
eow manure added. Do not use any
leaf -mold or sand. Feeding with liquid
cow manure when the pots are weU
filled with active roots is beneficial..
This can be applied once a week.

Peonies.
The season is a somewhat backward
one, but we have had abundant rains;
in fact, it is many years since we have
had so moist an April, with the land so
moist at planting time. The moisture
suits hardy herbaceous perennials to a
nicety and none appreciate it more than
the peonies. They are much benefited
by feeding when the growths are a foot
or so in height. Use some quick-act-
ing food, such as liquid eow or sheep
manure or nitrate of soda. It is better
if applied when the ground is moist.
Dried blood, thinly scattered among the
plants and hoed in, also has proved
to be a good fertilizer.
Asters.
The earliest batch of asters should
now go outdoors. Never mind if they
get a little frost; it will not harm
them and they are better outdoors than
becoming rootbound in pots or flats.
The aster land should be well prepared,
preferably in the fall, but if that was
not done, as early in the spring as
possible. Manure well with cow or well
rotted barnyard manure. Harrow the
land thoroughly. Where -stable manure
is scarce, commercial fertilizer can be
substituted, and I have found a good
potato fertilizer to answer well. To
make up for the practical absence of
potash in these fertilizers, use some
wood ashes, which you yourself may
have saved or which you can procure
locally. Have you remembered to make
successional sowings of asters f If not,
get in a good batch of American or
vick's Branching, and one of the Os-
trich Plume section, such as Crego. The
seeds will do just as well now if sown in
the. open air.
Winter-Flowering Begonias.
Plants of the winter-blooming bego-
nias^ like Cincinnati, Gloire de Lorraine,
Melior, Mrs. J. A. Peterson and others,
are now making much better growth
and will need attention before they
become potbound. Use a light compost,
containing a good deal of flaky leaf •
mold, in addition to some old, well
screened cow manure and sand. If one-
half the total compost is leaf -mold, only
partlv decayed, the plants will enjoy it
all the better. Place the plants in a
warm house, kept at 60 to 62 degrees

at night. As to those who grow only a
small number of these winter-flowering
begonias, I would advise them to pur-
chase plants now from some specialist
rather than do their own propagating.
Hardy Climbers In Pots.
Every country iSorist will have more
or less call for climbers at this season,
and for many weeks yet. I have al-
ways thought it a good plan to pot up
a number of these, so that they can be
planted at any time through the sum-
mer or fall. Any unsold plants can be
plunged outdoors and, if not sold now,
may sell in the fall. Pot plants are
more likely to give customers good re-
sults than those from the open ground,
and it is a branch of the business which
should be much extended.
All the rambler type of roses, clem-
atis, Ampelopsis Yeitchii and A. Engel-
manni, honeysuckles, Euonymus radicans,
wistarias, vitis, Hydrangea petiolaris,
aristolochias, etc., can be successfully
handled in pots, while the polyantha,
hybrid tea and hybrid perpetual roses
and hardy perennials, of course, are
much more salable late in .the season
if carried in pots. To compensate for
the extra expense entailed in potting
and caring for these, customers are usu-
ally willing to pay fifty per cent more
for them in the case of climbers and
twenty-five per cent more for roses and
perennials.
Evergreens in Tubs.
'^»i
Such evergreens as bay trees, boxes,
Irish yews, aucubas, bay laurels, hollies,
Araucaria imbricata, etc., which have
been wintered in a cold greenhouse or
'pit, should all be outdoors now. Some
may be much cramped and starved and
may need retubbing, but all that the
majority will need will be a removal
orf some of the surface soil and a top-
dressing of loam and sheep manure or
bone. Bleep these evergreens well wa-
tered and sprayed when they go out-
doors, especially if they have been
stored in a dark pit or cellar. The
foliage is liable 1^ scald sometimes, if a
hot day follows their removal from a
cool cellar.
PLANTS X7NDEB MAGNaLIA.
What are the best ferns or other
plants to use for a bed under a mag-

little more from a residence and about
fifteen feet from a row of shade trees
that border the street. All the trees
are on the north side of the street. The
space around the tree has been spaded
up and enriched. Is there a vine that
grows under and climbs up the magnolia
in Florida? If so, what is the name
of it and would it grow here, in north-
ern Tennessee t M. E. H. — Tenn.
Where the magnolia is trimmed up so
that there is a free circulation of air
under it, and the soil is limed each sea-
son to keep it sweet, we have succeeded
in growing a good sod of Bermuda grass
under it. Where we have added bone
meal to the lime, we have had some
degtee of success with a mixture of
bluegrass and white Dutch clover, where
the lowest limbs are at least four feet
from the ground and the trees do not
stand closer than twenty or thirty feet.
We have succeeded with English Ivy
under magnolia trees under similar con-
ditions, and Vinca minor grows well
under them. Where the limbs are al-

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.
Cleveland, O. — The James Eadie Co.
filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy
May 1 in the United States District
court, scheduling liabilities of $6,249.27
and assets of $3,857.21. The claims are
pretty well scattered among local and
eastern houses supplying the trade. The
James Eadie business is one of the
oldest in Cleveland. James Eadie, his
daughter, Jane, and his son, James,
conducted the greenhouses and store
with success for nearly fortv years.
The corporate title was used after 1908
and after Miss Jane Eadie died, in
1913, the business passed to Frank A.
Friedley and Frank Schoen, long em-
ployees of the competing J. M. Qasser
Co. In November, 1915, Messrs. Fried-
ley and Schoen separated, the former
taking over and continuing the green-
houses under the title of the Fnedley
Co., Mr. Schoen retaining the retail
store, one of the best in the downtown
shopping section. Later the store was
removed to a room occupied jointly
with a candy concern. Mr. Schoen has
associated with him, as secretary and
treasurer, Mark A. Copeland, a local
attorney.
BUST ON THE QUEEN CACTUS?

ment can you suggest! Sometimes the
leaves become skeletonized from these
rusty patches, but the blooming quali-
ties of the plants are not noticeably af-
fected. It makes them unsightly, how-
ever. L. 8.— Ky.

about ttree feet high. They wilt over
night and there is a ring of a yellowish
color around the plants at the ground.

disease looks much like the stem-rot on
carnations. There are from six to fifteen
spikes to the plant. What can be donef
H. L. U.— Kan.
Your plants undoubtedly have stem-
rot. The cause of this is hard to de-
termine, but it is probably due to the
cuttings having been left crowded to-
gether too long in the cutting bench.
There is little you can do to check this
trouble, but I would suggest that you
give the bench a top-dressing of lime
and soot and rub some of this in about
the stems of the plants. This may as-
sist in some measure. Too deep planting
sometimes aggravates this trouble.

MILWAXTEEE.
The Market.
The market held up exceptionally well
last week. The supply of stock was not
large enough to create a surplus and
carnations were sufficiently scarce to
keep the price between $4 and $5 per
hundred for good stock. Boses were
plentiful and in fine shape. Sales were
brisk and the cut moved readily.
Bulbous stock still is with us, although
it is deteriorating rapidly. The move-
ment of this class of stock still cuts
quite a figure in the market. Violets
are gone, but there is a good supply of
sweet peas, which are in fine condition
and selling well.
Valley is not plentiful, but the cut is
large enough to supply the demand.
Greens are moving exceedingly well and
some difficulty is experienced in taking
care of all orders in this line.
The outlook for Mothers' day is
bright, despite the shortage of carna-
tions that is already felt. It is hard
to understand ,iust why people want
nothing but carnations, because other
stock of the right color is just as appro-
priate. The trade will have to use
other stock in many cases, but should
try to educate the public to the fact
that it is not the kind of flower but the
color of the flower that makes- the gift
appropriate.
Some inquiries have been received
for plants for that occasion, and this
shows a healthy trend in sales, almost
insuring a perpetually increasing de-
mand for stock for this day.
Various Notes.
The Bacine Floral Co. inaugurated a
novel display in its window recently.
A live model showing fancy gowns and
parasols, with bouquets and corsages to
match, was the center of attraction and
created much favorable comment. This
concern reports that it had a fine Easter
business and that there has been little
falling off in trade since then.
The Flower Shop is putting in a new
basement at the store at 611 Main
street, Bacine, Wis. This will greatly
add to the facilities for handling the
business and will be invaluable at holi-
day times, when large plant orders have
to be handled quickly. Business has
been exceptionally good and the pro-
prietor is well satisfied with the sea-
son so far. H. J. S.

The Market,
Business in Newark and vicinity
slackened somewhat last week, but that
was to be expected after the big holi-
day business. There was no slump,
however, and business is on a good
foundation.
Memorial day is the next big event.
This does not help the florists in the
center of the city as much as those
near the cemeteries, where many have
contracts for keeping graves decorated
throughout the season. They now are
doing the first work of the season along
that line, thousands of pansies already
having been planted. There has been
a growing demand during the last few
weeks for hardy rose bushes, potted
hydrangeas, rhododendrons, azaleas,
spiraeas, marguerites, etc. There has
been a flood of pansy plants coming
into the market and they have met au
actiye demand.
The demand for seeds has increased
greatly during the last two weeks, and
with the coming of more settled
weather there will be a still greater
demand.
Various Notes. .
H. A. Strobell is selling many win-
dow boxes at the present time. The
demand is caused by the celebration of

Ernest Badany reports his Easter
trade was better than expected. Ceme-
tery work now is in full swing.
There was a unique display in the
window of George Penek's flower store
last week. It was a potted red ram-
bler rose trained into the shape of a
ship by' means of small bamboo rods.
The hull was made of green crepe
paper, which hid the lower part of the

drangeas easily took the lead in flow-
ering plants. Baskets of plants rang-
ing from $5 to $10 each in price sold
quickly. The cut flower business, as a
whole, was better than the plant trade,
and by noon April 23 practically every-
thing was sold. Special boxes of cut
flowers at $3.50 to $10 were a great
success and corsages were more popular
than ever.
Shreveport, La. — B. L. Stringfellow
is interested in large market gardens
near Crichton and Mooringsport, La.
Alvin, Tex. — The prospect is for the
largest and finest crop of cape jasmine
buds ever shipped for Memorial day.
Atlanta, Ga. — J. P. Matthiessen, at
one time connected with the Atlanta
Commission Florists Co. and the Ponce
de Leon Floral Co., has retired from
the business.
Houston, Tex. — An impatient land-
lord recently filed a suit for $950
against the Forestdale Flower Shop
and has asked the court to appoint a
receiver for the business. An injunc-
tion also was asked restraining the re-
moval of fixtures and other assets upon
which the plaintiff claims a landlord's
lien.
Portsmouth, Va. — The authorities re-
cently had a spasm of blue law en-
forcement and the W. P. Cotton Floral
Co. was brought into court charged
with the violation of the Sunday labor
laws; that is, keeping open Sundays.
The judge decided that flowers do not
come under the head of necessities and,
for that reason, the sale of flowers on
Sundays should be prohibited. Cigars,
soda water and drugs, however, may be
sold on the Sabbath, but not candy or
magazines. Ice cream can only be sold
when it is a portion of a drink served
at the fountain. Portsmouth's Sunday
laws are a liberal education.

THE ABNOLD ESTABLISHMENT.
The accompanying illustration shows
the wholesale cut flower store of D. C.
Arnold & Co., Inc., at 112 West Twenty-
eight street. New York, as well as Man-
ager William O 'Sullivan and others of
the force of salesmen. D. C. Arnold is
president of the concern and Henry
Thomas secretary and treasurer. The
company has conducted a wholesale
business in New York for four years.
At Babylon, Long Island, it has a
range that will total 130,000 square
feet of glass when the two new houses
are completed.
Carnations are the specialty of this
house, which has introduced the popular
variety, Mrs. Arnold, and shortly will
offer a new red seedling of merit, still
unnamed. Henry Thomas, the secre-
tary, who is spending some weeks at
Saranac Lake, is rapidly recovering his
health and shortly will return to the
city and his duties in the wholesale
department. J. Austin Shaw.
NEW YOBK
The Market.
Recessions in cut flower prices were
inevitable April 29, for,, notwithstanding
those seven inches of snow at Boston
and vicinity, New York reveled in a
summer temperature. The week follow-
ing Easter was as dull as usual, and
prices slowly sagged until its close.
With a continuance of the warmth and
sunshine, the present week will see a
flood of roses and carnations. Prices
now average about one-half of the
Easter quotations; in fact, they are so
reasonable that they appeal to the
heavy purchasers for the chain and de-
partment stores, and through these out-
lets the clean-up April 29 was gener-
ally satisfactory.
Some stock sold far below its true
value. The southern lilac is here, of
excellent quality. American Beauties
are abundant. The best brought only
$25 per hundred April 29 and, in quan-
tities, as low as $15 was quoted. The
best Hadley roses have receded in price
to $35 per hundred and Prima Donna,
Ophelia and the other specialties have
acted in like manner. Cecile Brunner
is not overabundant and maintains its
popularity. Mock at its best makes a
splendid center for florists' windows.
The short-stemmed roses of almost all
kinds sold as low as $10 per thousand.
Even lower prices are expected before
the week is over.
There is a large supply of carnations.
Prices have been maintained wonder-
fully, a tribute to the ability of the
carnation growers in this section. The
best of the novelties, a few, sold at $4
per hundred April 29, but $3 was the
average top price for these, and $2
was the bottom for the day. Undoubt-
edly there will be many for sale Satur-
day at $10 per thousand.
Longiflorum lilies are more than abun-
dant and only the long-stemmed selects
sell for 8 cents; 3 to 5 cents would be a
fair average. Since Easter many lilies
have been used in wedding decorations.
Gardenias are on the street again, a sea-
son 's shameful ending for this beautiful
and once favorite flower. One could
obtain any number of them at $5 per
hundred. Valley certainly won the
crown for advance at Easter. The price
jumped to $8 and $10 per hundred, and
some say even higher. At any rate, it
was the Bethlehem Steel of the Easter
Store of D. C. Araoid & G>., New York, and Part of tlie Staff.
market. Now the quotation is $4 to $5
and by Saturday the best probably will
be selling at $3 to $4.
Cattleyas still are independent. Qood
gigas brought 75 cents to $1. The
flower shows are given as the cause of
the orchid shortage and high prices.
It is said $2 will be the high-water
mark for many a year to come. Violets
are arriving in limited quantities. This
week will probably end them for th«
season. Tulips are numerous and up to
the high grade of the year. Daffodils,
southern gladioli and lilacs are abun-
dant. The market carries a great vari-
ety of spring flowers, such as pansies,
daisies, sweet peas, Spanish iris, mignon-
ette, callas, calendulas and forget-me-
nots. There are a few f reesias and flow-
ering plants — the aftermath of Easter.
Mothers' day should, if properly ad-
vertised, bring a big day to New York,
as it will to the smaller towns and
cities.
Various Notes.
May 9 is the date of the next meeting
of the New York Florists' Club. The
essay committee's chairman promises a
lecture, and there will be exhibits, re-
freshments and interesting details of
the New York flower show.
The great business men's parade May
13 will have representatives from every
trade in line. And it is said there will
be a good squad representing all depart-
ments of the florists' business.
Lilac has been arriving from the
south for a week at the headquarters
of the Kervan Co., the New York Flo-
rists' Supply Co. and N. Lecakes. The
quality of the stock is excellent and
the shipments are rapidly absorbed.
L. B. Coddington, of Murray Hill, has
been suffering for some weeks from an
attack of the measles and H. E. Fro-
ment, who handles the output from Mr.
Coddington 's houses, has had a siege of
the grip.-
W. M. Bishop, of Badgley & Bishop,
Inc., received a call from the stork
April 27, when a fine young wholesale
florist was left at his door.
The Brooklyn Wholesale Market, Jo-
seph Levy, proprietor, has given up its
branch and has concentrated at the old
stand at Fulton street and Red Hook
lane.
Phillips' new store at 352 Flatbush
avenue, Brooklyn, is a beauty. William
Phillips says the new icebox installed
cost them more than $800. The entire
store is handsomely decorated. J. V.
Phillips; the veteran, is in charge.
"The best Easter business in thirty
years," was his verdict, and the ver-
dict of most of the prominent Brooklyn
florists.
The Loretz Flower Shop, at the cor-
ner of Flatbush avenue and DeaA street,
Brooklyn, where Mrs. Loretz is in
charge, reports a splendid Easter, far
ahead of expectations. Everything was
sold and George Scott, of Flatbush, was
called on for an extra load of plants
late Easter evening.
The MacNiff plant auctions draw
large numbers of buyers. The weather
has been ideal for planting; nurserymen
have been especially, fortunate. The
delay of spring has been worth a great
deal to the nursery business here and
everywhere in the east.
Charles Millang's branch store did a
remarkable Easter business. Now bed-
ding plants have the call. Mr. Millang
says he will keep his branch open until
the good old summer time arrives.
S. Woodrow was busy all of last week
in Jersey, completing a landscape con-
tract. He has many jobs booked for
the season.
Goldstein & Futterman were greatly
pleased with their Easter business.
M. A. Bowe's new store is elegantly
fitted up, the mirror effect being espe-
cially attractive. The location, 332
Fifth avenue, close to Thirty-third
street, is excellent.
William Kessler reports the best East-
er since he began business.
A. M. Henshaw opened his new store
at 127 West Twenty-eighth street May
1. One can hardly recognize the old
store, which formerly was occupied by
Cotsonas & Co.
Joseph Fenrich and family are al-
ready at their country home near As-
bury Park, N. J., for the summer. Mr.
Fenrith will continue business at the
old stand, 51 West Twenty-eighth street.
His store will be refitted and redeco-
rated. J. Austin Shaw.
The Horticultural Society of New
York will hold its annual spring exhibi-
tion May 13 and 14, at the Museum
building in the New York Botanical
Garden, Bronx Park. Prizes are offered

The Market.
The cold, rainy weather prevailing
last week put rather a crimp in the
flower business in these parts, but no
one complained, as the Easter trade
more than offset any slump coming on
now. Many of the retailers claim that
their sales were double those of last
year.
Various Notes.
Charles Ederer sold out clean at
Easter and only regrets that he did not
lay in a larger supply of stock. His
bedding plants are in fine shape and
selling faster than during any previous
season.
A. Donaghue is cutting extra fine Eus-
sell roses and sweet peas. He has sev-
eral thousand tulips planted in his lawn
— everybody knows he is a florist.
Oscar Herman is passing around the
cigars again. The stork left another
girl at his house last week, which makes
the fourth. He says the boys ought
to set up the cigars to him. Why,
Oscar f
The Fernery had an excellent trade
at Easter and reports that the business
doubled that of last year.
Considering that it was their first
Easter in business, the proprietors of
the Flower Shop say they are more than
satisfied with the volume of business
done.
Fred Berlinghof, who was stricken
with pneumonia last week, is reported
to be somewhat better.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
' The Market. «
With a quieter week we have had
time to look over the Easter business.
The local trade was good. Most of the
florists report business better than ever.
Azaleas and lilies as usual were the
favorites. Both were plentiful and of
good quality. Many of the markets
handled lilies and they sold as low as
121^ cents at retail. The better ones
brought up to 20 cents. Bulbous stock
of all kinds was plentiful and cheap.
Various Notes.
W. H. Davenport had a big Easter
trade, but nevertheless had many lilies
left on hand.
Ernest Chamberlain reports the best
season he has ever experienced. He
disposed of a tremendous stock of
plants. His cut flower trade also was
good.
Julius, the Florist, had some attract-
ive baskets which he found no trouble
in disposing of. Samuel Rusitzsky has
left the employ of Julius.
William P. Pierce cleaned up well.
A breakdown of his delivery car made
it dif&cult to deliver orders, but he
managed to get everything out on time.
A recent fire destroyed the office,
boiler room and part of one greenhouse
at the establishment formerly owned by
William E. Mosher.
E. M. Pierce reports a successful
Easter. He had a splendid stock of
bulbous plants, which he disposed of
at both wholesale and retail.
S. E. Shaw has a large house of
stocks that will be in fine condition at
Memorial day. His carnations are do-
ing well.
Fred Reynolds is devoting his entire
time to his store in the Olympia build-
ing, his other store and greenhouse on
Court street having been sold.
H. V. Sowle did his usual big Easter
business. ' W. M. P.
CINCINNATI.
The Market. ' •
Since Easter, business has been fair.
The supply has been good and sufficient
to take care of an active demand. The
shipping business is good.
Roses, including American Beauties,
are in satisfactory supply. During
April carnations were not any too
plentiful, but this week they are com-
ing into our market in large quantities.
Easter lilies are plentiful. The same is
true of sweet peas. Some excellent
snapdragons may be had. Valley and
orchids are rather scarce and in brisk
demand. A limited supply of outdoor
bulbous stock is available. Lilac has
been meeting with a strong call from
out-of-town buyers. New southern ferns
now are in the market.
Vdtious Notes.
E. G. Gillett's hanging baskets have
been having an excellent sale this
spring.
E. A. Forter had an auspicious formal
opening of his new store May 1. The
opening was largely attended.
C. E. Critchell has been having an
unusually heavy call for green sheet
moss and hanging baskets.
The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
received its first southern ferns of the
season last week.
Recent visitors were H. J. Vander
Horst, of St. Marys, 0., and Joseph
Hill, of Richmond, Ind. C. H. H.
Maiden, Mass. — More than 40,000
plants of Easter lilies were well timed
by Kaulback & Son for Easter.
Weymouth, Mass. — The florists' busi-
ness formerly conducted by Beechey
Bros, has been purchased by W. W.
Gordon, of Concord, N. H.
Providence, R. I. — B. Hammond
Tracy, of Wenham, Mass., lectured
at the April meeting of the Rhode
Island Horticultural Society on the
culture of gladioli, April 19.
Nahant, Mass. — The annual spring
flower show at the greenhouses of
Thomas Roland was unusually success-
ful this year, a large number of people
availing themselves of the opportunity
to inspect Mr. Roland's high-grade
stock.
Lawrence, Mass. — As usual, A. H.
Wagland had a splendid showing of
Easter flowering plants at his large
conservatory on Broadway. Mr. Wag-
land holds a free flower show every
year a week before Easter. It helps
business greatly.
Pittsfield, Mass.— The Rosery, the
flower store in the Waite building, has
been closed. The store was one of the
most attractive in the city, but it had
not been on a paying basis for some
time.
Bridgeport, Conn. — So large was the
pre-Easter rush at the Main street store
of James Horan & Son that it was
found necessary to open another store
on Fairfield avenue, between Broad and
Harrison streets.
Bridgeport, Conn. — The establishment
of G. F. Herthal recently came in for
lengthy comment in the town's press.
It was pleasing for Mr. Herthal to note
that the article called his numerous
flowering plants * ' most satisfactory
Easter gifts."
WiUixnantic, Conn.— William A. Daw-
son was the principal speaker at the
April meeting of the New London Hor-
ticultural Society. He spoke on the
history and development of the carna-
jtion and advocated anore up-to-date
cultural methods on the part of whole-
sale growers.

OBITUARY
Ira O. Marvin.
Ira G. Marvin, aged 52, for many
.years the leading florist at Wilkes-
Barre, Pa., died at his home, 359 Wyo-
ming avenue, in the adjacent town of
Kingston, at 11:20 p. m., April 30. Not
liaving been in good health since the hol-
idays, Mr. Marvin had been unable to
leave his bed for nine weeks. The cause
'Of death was heart trouble.
Since beginning the florists' and
nursery business for himself in Wilkes-
Barre in 1886, Mr. Marvin had taken a
prominent place in the business repre-
sentation of the city. Besides his re-
tail stores he was an extensive grower,
having first a range of greenhouses on
South Main and South Franklin streets,
and then extensive greenhouses at Fir-
wood, from which place he was driven
by a succession of flood losses, and his
present houses on Pringle street, Kings-
ton.
For many years Mr. Marvin had
branch stores in the neighboring towns,
and the trade he built up through years
of ~catering to the flower lovers of the'
region became second to none in this
part of the state. In the spring of 1915 ■
his affairs became involved and he filed
a petition in bankruptcy, although his
assets much exceeded his liabilities. The
estate still is in the hands of the court.
Ira 6. Marvin was the ninth gen-
eration in the line of descendants in
this country of Beinold Marvin, who
settled in Connecticut in 1636. He was
born February 11, 1864, at Stroudsburg,
the son of Henry H. Marvin and Sar^
A. Miller. His father and mother both
dying when he was quite young, he
spent his early childhood with his
grandfather, Eev. George Miller, who
was one of the pioneer pastors of Mon-
roe county. He was a student at Fair-
view Acadamy, Brodheadsville. He lo-
cated at Wilkes-Barre when a young
man, following from the first the
florists' and nursery interests and be-
ginning business for himself in 1886.
Mr. Marvin was married November
12, 1891, to Sophie L. Ahlborn, daugh-
ter of Frederick Ahlborn, and is. sur-
vived by his wife and the following
children: Gertrude, George Guthrie and
Ira Huston, and one brother. Steward
Marvin, of Stroudsburg.
Frederick A. Bolze.
Frederick Bolze, who died recently
at his home in Pleasantville, N. Y., at
the age of 70, had the distinction of
being one of the florists of New York
city before the days of the Civil war,
in 1859, to be precise. Mr. Bolze was
born in Hanover, and was educated at
the Boyal College of King George of
Hanover, receiving a special degree of
merit, and soon after came to this coun-
try. He first started a florists' busi-
ness on Fifth avenue, near Forty-sec-
ond street. New York, but later moved
to Lexington avenue and Fifty-fourth
street. In 1896 Mr. Bolze disposed of
his New York possessions and moved
to Pleasantville, N. Y., where he es-
tablished the greenhouse and nursery
business in which he was actively en-
gaged up to the time of his death. He
was a member of the Knights of
Pythias. He leaves four daughters and
one son. New York florists attending

John B. Savageau.
John B. Savageau, better known as
John B. Sargent to the gardeners of
Massachusetts, died of blood poisoning
April 24 in the Leominster hospital,
Leominster, Mass., at the age of 43.
The deceased accidentally scratched one
of his fingers a few days previous to
his death and, thinking it not serious,
did not give it proper care. Blood
poisoning developed quickly and he was
taken to the hospital for treatment,
which was unsuccessful from the start.
Mr. Savageau was born in Mason-
ville, R. I. When 14 years of age he
moved to Leominster with his parents.
He found employment there under Jo-
seph Fuller and learned the business at
the Fuller greenhouses. Later he went
to South Lancaster, where for several
years he worked for E. O. Orpet, now
of Lake Forest, lU. Three years ago
Mr. Savageau returned to Leominster
and established the florists' and green-
house business in which he was en-
gaged up to a few days before his
death. He is survived by three chil-
dren, five brothers and two sisters.
Mrs. Mary J. Stevens.
Mrs. Mary J. Stevens, proprietor of
the Stevens Floral Co., of Port Huron,
Mich., passed away April 25 following
a lingering illness. Mrs. Stevens was
the widow of the late D. E. Stevens,
whose death occurred about four years
ago. Since that time Mrs. Stevens had
ably managed the business left to her
care. She was born in Toronto, April
23, 1849. A daughter and son survive
her.

One of the principal features of the
Easter business noted by Manager
George Geraghty, of Dunlop's Flowor
Shop, Toronto, Ont., was the increase
in orders by wire. More than 160 tele-
graph orders were received during the
week preceding Easter, from all parts
of the vast country between Nova Sco-
tia and Vancouver. Another half-dozen
were handed in April 24, including one
from San Antonio, Tex., and some from
Winnipeg, Man., for delivery the fol-
lowing week. An excellent plan is that
with every express shipment a prepaid
acknowledgment card is enclosed, so
that the consignee may advise the con-
signor in what condition the shipment
arrived. Should any complaint be re-
ceived the order is duplicated. "We
believe it a good policy, although some-
times we may get stung," said Mr.
Geraghty. Of special note was a spray
made with Marguerite Mrs. Sander;
both the single and double blooms were
exceptionally fine. I understand this
is one of the most profitable things
grown in bush form, for design work.
The new store is 31x95 feet, handsomely
equipped, and has a regular force of
five women and six men to handle the
retail end.
J. Gammage & Sons, of London, Ont.,
report an excellent season. William
Gammage, Sr,, is busy in the land-
scape department on some planting con-
tracts for the Grand Trunk, railway,
which is beautifying its principal sta-
tions along the line. It is hoped to
apply the idea throughout the entire
system. Mr. Gammage, Jr., was a high-
ly interested visitor at the National
Flower Show and was favorably im-
pressed with what he saw on this, I
understand, his first of&cial trip.
Colin Ogston, superintendent of the
Kimball Greenhouses, Rochester, N. Y.,
is proud of a fine specimen plant of
Dendrobium chrysotoxum, in a 5-inch
basket, carrying nine perfect spikes of
exquisite color.
John F. Malone, the new commissioner
of Buffalo parks, is mapping out a
project for making the Buffalo parks
and gardens more attractive to the pub-
lic, who showed their appreciation in
connection with the recent plant decora-
tion at the Elks ' festival. W. M.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
The F. T. D. orders for Mothers' day
probably will be heavier than they were
for Easter.
The rising cost of wire will preclude
the low prices that sometimes are made
to keep the wire-workers busy during
smnmer.
There is a steady increase in the em-
ployment of women in large greenhouse
establishments, where the routine tasks
are well performed by them.
Although cow manure is unobtainable
in most places, horse manure still is to be
had in considerable quantity. As a spring
mulch for carnations it is excellent and
can be used without fear.
Slowly this trade is approaching the
point, long since reached in most other
lines, where regular settlement dates are
insisted on. The slow pay buyer steadily
finds himself at greater disadvantage.
If importers in this trade may be said
to have had troubles of their own in the
last few months, it seems that their dif-
ficulties will be multiplied as time goes
on. Some of the largest importing houses
are said to be considering discontinuing
business until conditions become more
nearly normal.
Never a day passes but some Chicago
florist calls The Review on the tele-
phone to obtain an address to which an
order can be sent in a town not on the
Telegraph Delivery lists. If your town,
Mr. Reader, is not represented in the
Telegraph Delivery Departni^nt you can
get all the orders for your section by
putting in a card.
MORE COMMEBCIAUZATION.
Talking about * ' commercializing ' '
Mothers' day, the florists are hot the
only ones who seek to make a littlo
something out of it. For instance, each
Western Union message now contains a
slip that reads:
Sunday, May 14, Is Mothers* day, the day set
apart in honor of the mothers of the land; the
day on which everyone who is distant from his
mother will delight in sending her a message of
affectionate greeting. Mothers' day messages
sent by Western Union will be delivered on special
blanks appropriate to the occasion.
There isn't a word about sending
flowers, but there is a cut of carnations
that would better have been left off.
F. T. D. ORDERS BY HUNDRED.
In the Mott-ly Musings in this issue
of The Review, George M. Geraghty,
manager of the Dunlop retail store in
Toronto, is quoted as stating they re-
ceived, during the week preceding Eas-
ter, 160 orders from other florists for
delivery in Toronto and vicinity — 160
orders of the kind the trade has come
to know as F. T. D. orders. It would
be a quite respectable week's business
for many a store, and all from out of
town.
The F. T. D. business has grown to
such a volume that it is surprising that
there is any city of 25,000 or more not
represented in The Review's telegraph
delivery department. A card there (a
half inch) can be carried for as little
as 35 cents per week on yearly order —
and it brings the orders. If your city
is not in the list, there's a golden op-
portunity for you.
PUT IT JUST SO.
The man who advertises white car-
nations, or carnations of any color, as
the emblematic flower of Mothers' day
only lays up trouble for himself, and
for all of us. Of course, the estimable
lady to whom we are indebted for the
idea asserts as loudly as lies within
her power that the official flower is the
white carnation and none other; but
she is the same one who once told the
editor of The Review that if the flo-
rists did not cease commercializing the
day she would change its emblem to a
button or a ribbon — so we have each
to go our own way.
When Mothers' day was only a year
or two old The Review appreciated
that the occasion had annual possibili-
ties far beyond the limits of the sup-
ply of white carnations; that the ex-
ploitation of the white carnation would
be positively harmful to the trade and
that the value, of the day lay only in
the general use of all kinds of flowers.
To meet the situation a phrase was
coined that since has come into general
use:
For Mothers at home, flowers bright,
In Mother's memory, flowers white.
While nearly every reference to
flowers for Mothers' day now contains
this thought, and it has resulted in a
truly wonderful benefit to the whole
trade, a great many fail to use the
couplet in exactly the words here given.
Some fail to use the rhyming form,
though it is the rhyme that clings in
the memory; some retain the rhyme but
destroy the meter, thereby giving of-
fense to those who like verse to scan;
some almost lose the thought in the
looseness of their language and only a
few watch the capitalization and the
position of the apostrophe. In last
week's issu^ of The Review eight of
last year's Mothers' day ads were re-
produced as examples of what to do or
not to do. All of them showed the in-
fluence of the "bright" flower idea,
but not one followed the quotation ex-
actly; yet none of the variations was
so good as the original. This year put
it just so:
For Mothers at home, flowers bright.
In Mother's memory, flowers white.
HARDY CUT FERNS.
This is a trade in which the unex-
pected usually happens, and the indica-
tions are that this is the case with
hardy cut ferns. During the late winter
there was an evident general desire on
the part of practically all who deal in
ferns to push along the sales and clean
up the stock in storage. One of the
regular monthly advances in prices even
was omitted. The result appears to be
that, instead of a surplus, there now is
less than the usual quantity on hand
and May 1 brought a general advance
in prices. In addition to the New Eng-
land and Michigan ferns in storage, a
few of the spring pick technically
known as snow birds have appeared on
the market. There also are small quan-
tities of southern ferns ready for im-
mediate use, but the holders of good
ferns in storage do not fear the compe-
tition of spring stock before the middle
of June. They are looking for some-
thing of a squeeze around Memorial day.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
This year, unlike last year, the Chi-
cago market experienced no such after-
Easter reaction as to cause a reversal
of conditions. Instead of the inertia
that usually follows the holiday rush
there has been at least a normal de-
mand. Small, to be sure, in comparisdn
with the inflated demand of the week
preceding, but still much larger than the
trade, judging by experience, had ex-
pected. Prices on some items of stock
dropped as a matter of course, but on
the whoje there was much less decline
than is usual during a post-holiday
week.
.Perhaps Beauties experienced a
greater change of condition than any
other item on the market. Whereas they
were extremely scarce and barely pas-
sable stock was selling at good prices
during Easter week, the market last
week was decidedly slack, prices were
softening, and the supply, particularly
of long-stemmed stock, was much more
liberal. Demand, however, needed much
coaxing. The supply of other roses
continues large. Demand, too, is large
enough to leave no grounds for com-
plaint. Russell, without an effort, still
leads the list. Ophelia may be given
second place with little danger of con-
test. Ward, Sunburst and Milady, when
well grown, sell themselves. Richmond
and the Killarneys may always be de-
pended upon to hold their own, though
quite a few Killarneys were a little off
color last week. Hoosier Beauty, though
still somewhat of a stranger, is rapidly
vnnning friends.
Carnations are holding up remarkably
well, not only in the matter of supply,
but in that of price and demand. Qual-
ity on the whole is good, though some
Enchantress and Victory are a trifle oflf.
The supply of Spanish iris is shdrt
enough to clear readily. Sweet peas
seem to have gained the favor of the

flower buying public. Everyone wants
iBweet peas and so, though the supply is
large, more could be used. So great has
been the clamor for valley, and so short
the supply, that growers have been put
to it to satisfy the demand. The result
is, there is enough valley to go around,
but much of it is far too green. The
number of Easter lilies is almost un-
limited and a buyer, providing he yill
undertake to purchase a quantity, can
name his own price. And even this ex-
treme measure does not serve to clear
them. Good daisies move well, but there
is little chance for any other kind.
Snapdragons of first quality are prov-
ing unusually good property. Pansies
and calendulas, too, move in a satis-
factory manner. Bulbous stock is tot-
tering on the brink, and both in quality
and demand ceases to be a feature.
Cattleyas still are almost unobtainable
and prices range accordingly high.
May 1 was ushered in with rain and
cold. Usually at this time of the year
there is an abundance of outdoor stock
on the market. This year, owing to the
continued cold weather, the season is
at least three weeks behind. The re-
ceipts of white lilac are erratic in the
extreme, and purple is far from plenti-
ful. The supply of gladioli, too, is
sporadic.
While all green goods are moving
well, adiantum leads the list with an
unusually heavy demand.
April Weather.
When the trade compares the April
record with that of last year there is
another important difference besides the
difference in the date of Easter. Last
year the mean temperature for April
was 56 degrees, while this year it was
only 48 degrees. This will account in

great measure for many of the differ-
ences in market conditions. This year,
in addition to a much lower tempera-
ture, April gave us only five-sixths as
much sunshine as we had in April last
year. This year we had only fifty per
cent of the possible. Growers, anxious
to get stock into the field, will note
that the rainfall was only 1.6 inches,
which is more than last year, but 1.28
less than the normal.
Various Notes.
A wholesaler was incredulous when
the assertion was made, by a Review
representative, that last year Mothers'
day business was almost two-thirds as
heavy as that of Easter, long famous
as the trade's big day of the year. But
when he consulted his sales record he
found this general estimate held good
in at least that one case. How about
others? Has the importance of Moth-
ers' day been only half appreciated.
A consultation of physicians held last
week resulted in C. W. McKellar going
to Hot Springs, Ark., May 2, accom-
panied by Mrs. McKellar. Mr. McKel-
lar has had a serious time for several
weeks with pains in his head that were
thought to be neuralgia, but the physi-
cians have now determined that they re-
sulted from -abnormal blood pressure
and have prescribed a Hot Springs
treatment.

Th
ost Satisfactory Rose
for Spring and Summer
THE purpose of this advertisement is to attract the attention of
Retail Florists who have not yet tried our Mrs. Russell Roses—
we want them to know that here is a Rose that is giving greater
satisfaction than any other Rose on the market today. On the
score of:
SIZE — It is the largest Rose on the market; much larger
than the best Killarney; ^Lmost as large as Beauty.
COLOR — Russell is a pink Rose, but as we grow it, so
dark many people call it red; does not fade -in summer
like other pink roses.
FRAGRANCE — The fragrance is strong as well as
sweet; let your customer smell Mrs. Russell Rose and
you have made a sale.
SU3STANCE— The Russell Rose is full of petals;
big, hard flowers that wither in time, but the petals
never fall.
f
STEM — We are cutting Russells with stems up to
four feet; strong, thick stems that hold the flower
upright.
FOLIAGE—The foliage on Mrs. Russell is heavy,
thick, dark green and plenty of it.
KEEPING QUALITY — Fine as the flower is, in size, color, fragrance, stem and foliage, the keeping and
shipping quality is what makes it of special value to Retail Florists. As an evidence of the keeping quality*
let us state that we shipped flowers from Union Grove, Wis., to the National Flower Show at Philadelphia and
took first prize over locally grown Russells. We repeated the performance at the International Show in New
York the next week. As we also took first prize at the Chicago Show, we can claim not only the finest Russells
in America, but we can assert with confidence they will reach any Retail Florist anywhere in this country in
first-class condition. In the homes of your customers, Russell will keep longer than any other rose and give
greater satisfaction. ' f
/
We Have 36,000 Russell Plants on Our Benches
These are plants now starting their second season — big, strong, bushy plants that are just in
condition to give a splendid steady crop for Mothers' day, for Memorial day, for June weddings
and right along through the summer. We shall cut in quantity every day for months.
Retailers who have tried this rose are using it regularly, but we shall not be content until the
whole trade knows its excellence.

Caution
It is not hard to arouse enthusiasm, as is seen
from the way inquiries have already been pouring
in, but it is hard to supply the demand that has
ill-advisedly been developed fqr carnations.
Let us combine in an effort to change the custom
— push the "Mother's favorite flower" idea strong.
Judging from the requests we have already re-
ceived for Carnations, they will be even shorter
than last year. We will not accept any orders
calling for White Carnations alone.

The Peony--
Flower of National Popularity
Do you want to cash in on the ever-growing popularity of the Peony?
Then come right to headquarters.
The House of Kennicott was the first in the business to appreciate the true
commercial value of the Peony. Since that time, when as pioneers they
had to stand the scoffing of the many who did not think Peonies were
worth wasting good soil on, till now, when everyone clamors for them,
Kennicott Bros. Company have been acknowledged Peony headquarters.
The House of Kennicott not only leads in quantity, but stands supreme in
the field for quality as well.
The enormous demand for Peonies makes it a question of importance to
you as to whether you wiU be well supplied or not. Let us know what
your requirements will be and we will protect you at a moderate price.
Now is the time for the man who believes in preparedness to place his
Peony orders.
Not next week— NOW.

hurst.
Peter Eeinberg's carnation plants all
went into the field before the end of
April. He is thought to be the leader
of the large growers in finishing this
big spring task. Most of the other
growers are prosecuting the work with
all speed now that May has arrived.
The first of the southern Illinois
peonies are expected this week by Erne
& Klingel, who say their growers ad-
vise the crop for this year will be large
and fine.
One day last week John Michelsen, of
the E. C. Amling Co., was the guest of
French & Salm, at Union Grove, Wis.,
where there are 36,000 plants of Mrs.
Bussell in three big Lord & Bumham
steel frame houses. The firm started in
business March 1, 1915, and its progress
has been watched with much interest by
the trade, especially for the fact that
they had the temerity to plant the en-
tire establishment to one new, com-
paratively untried rose. After fourteen
months on the benches, the plants are
in much better shape than at any time
before, big, bushy plants that g^ve no
indication of needing a rest. Mr. Mich-
elsen says that the way the bottom
growths are shooting up would |five de-
light to any gp-ower. Mr. Michelsen
went to Bichmond May 3 to have a
look at the carnations in the Hill estab-
lishment.
The discussion of prices seldom gets
anyone anywhere, but N. J. Wietor says
he is decidedly opposed to boosting
prices at Mothers' day or Memorial
day; he adds, however, that if the
wholesaler does not charge what the traf-
fic will bear, the retailer does so just
the same and pockets that much addi-
tional profit. So there you are. Mr.
Wietor believes the low prices of other
stock soon will extinguish the iipecial
Mothers' day demand for carnations, so
that all flowers will sell on an even
footing.

If you want an interesting disserta-
tion on credits get O. W. Frese, of
Poehlmann Bros. Co., to talk on the sub-
ject, for it is the one to which he has
devoted the most study in recent ye&rs.
Mr. Frese believes that the trend of
the times will soon make it necessary
for all florists to give closer attention
to the details of the business office. He
thinks the decline of certain once ap-
parently prosperous retail and general
florists can be traced directly to a neg-
lect of the financial end.
The Easter demand was a fairly good
test of the esteem in which the duler-
ent varieties of roses are held. Ward,

Bichmond and Ophelia have made good
in every particular in the greenhouses
of Hoerber Bros., at Des Plaines, and
now they are satisfied beyond a perad-
venture that Hoosier Beauty ranks with
the best as a profitable rose to grow.
Though not as prolific as Killarney, it
has fine color when well done and with
them it has proved a most excellent
shipper.
In preparation for the June wedding
season, George Wienhoeber is running an
attractive card in the street cars that
pass his door. It shows a bride with a
large bouquet that cost "$8 and up."
Mr. Wienhoeber is a skillful publicity
man and on the card the name is printed
in a special color that makes it stand
out and cling in the memory.
A transfer of that part of the Witt-
bold greenhouse property which fronts
on Buckingham place, 125 feet east of
Halsted street, was made a matter of
record last week. It is preliminary to
the construction by Louis and Fred
Wittbold of the Buckingham Court
apartments on 125x225 feet of frontage.
The tract was first conveyed by the
WittboldS to the Chicago Title &
Trust Co., and then the trust company
conveyed to the Buckingham Court
Apartments. ' It is understood the build-
ing, which will be of high grade char-
acter, will contain thirty-eight apart-
ments and one store and will cost in
excess of $100,000. The George Witt-
bold Co. will occupy the store for re-
tail purposes.
A man who is believed, from papers
in his pockets, to have been Andrew
Matson, a florist of 1749 North Western
avenue, killed himself April 30 in a
restaurant in Milwaukee. The man or-
dered and ate a large steak and was un-
able to pay for it. When the waiter
insisted on the money the man swal-
lowed poison and died in a few min-
utes.
Invitations have been issued by the
officers for the meeting of the Florists'
Club at the Hotel Morrison, Thursday
evening, May 4.
Speaking of substitutes for white
carnations for Mothers' day, H. B.
Kennicott, of the Kennicott Bros. Co.,
says he has received word from his
growers that he may expect white
peonies in time for the Mothers' day

The demand for adiantum last week
was, according to Eric Johnson, of the
A. L. Bandall Co., almost unprecedented.
During one day, he says, that house
alone sold 22,000 adiantum. Nor was
Mexican ivy slow, as 15,000 were sold
the same day.

Another man has been added to the
force of the J. A. Budlong wholesale
-establishment. April 30, Roswell Schupp,
aon of Manager Philipp Schupp, was a
boy, but May 1 he became 21 years of
age. He celebrated the occasion by
taking a position higher up in the busi-
ness. His old place as shipping clerk
is now held by Henry Zwettler, former-
ly with the Great Northern Express Co.

and Peter Olsem. The contest took
place in Bensinger's West Randolph
street alleys at 7:30 p. m., May 3.
Gardenias, according to John Kruch-
ten, are moving wonderfully well. The
greatest difficulty, he says, in the hand-
ling of this flower is to get the growers
to pack them properly for shipping.
Another victim of the epidemic of
severe colds is Charles MacCauley, of
the Biverbank Greenhouses, Geneva, 111.
Though not seriously ill, Mr. MacCauley
was sufficiently incapacitated to forego
his weekly visit to the offices of the
Chicago Flower Growel"s' Association.
Of course every seedsman sends out
calendars and catalogues, but D. D. P.
Boy entertains the idea that a catalogue
or an ordinary calendar will, in the
course of events, be misplaced or de-
stroyed, so, starting out with May, he
is mailing a monthly art calendar to his
customers.

science had been exhausted. Miss Thora
Clemensen, 14-year-old daughter of C.

funeral services were held May 2. In-

A charter has been issued by the

East Monroe street, to deal in seeds,
bulbs, plants and flowers. The capital
stock of the new corporation is $5,000.
The first peonies of the season were
received by Kyle & Foerster April 27.
Since then they have been receiving
small but regular shipments.
From their first season with it, Wend-
land & Eeimel have pinned their faith
on Milady. The present condition of
their stock seems to justify them in it.
Also, they assert that its salability at
the present moment refutes the old say-
ing about the departure of the demand
for red roses with the arrival of warm
spring days.
Peter Keinberg represents the trade
and the county on the committee of
prominent men which seeks to present
a fund to the Alexian Brothers hospital
upon the occasion this month of the
fiftieth anniversary of the advent of
the order in Chicago.
A few days ago H. M. Berner, of
the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., took
a little run to the southland. He was

greenhouse range with W. C. Alexander,

Mr. Alexander was formerly of Charles-

however, expecting a heavy shipment

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
The nine week days since Easter may
be best described by dividing them into
two unequal parts, the first comprising
the six days of April, the second the
three days of May. The first, or April
part, was most satisfactory, barring
Thursday. The second, or May part,
was unsatisfactory. The cool weather,
the April weddings — there still is a lin-
gering preference for weddings in April,
rather than risking the poet's dire fore-
bodings regarding May marriages — and
the regular week-end demand account
for the favorable first part. The hot
weather accounts for the unfavorable
second part. Prices have receded since
Easter, as they naturally would, save in
cattleyas and in valley. Cattleyas have
held their extraordinary altitude with
remarkable persistency. Valley remains
unchanged, with predictions of an ad-
vance. These predictions are based on
the scarcity of pips and the fact that
no valley grower is likely to risk much
of his precious stock in May.
All the other flowers have fallen in
price to a degree that makes them
attractive to the quantity buyers. The
special feature of the market is the fine
quality of the northern-grown, outdoor
daffodils, in several varieties. Unlike
most Easters, the market is not over-
loaded with Easter lilies. While there
is no special demand for them, there is
no excessive supply. Asparagus plumo-
sus and ferns are selling a little better
than flowers. Both the supply and the
demand for gardenias are declining.

The front portion of the floor above
is divided between the accounting, or
financial, department, in charge of Her-
bert G. TuU, and the vegetable seed
and advertising departments, in charge
of Charles H. McKubbin. There is one
room, the choicest of all, into which
even such great chiefs of the House of
Dreer as Mr. TuU and Mr. McKubbin
go not unbidden. This room, looking
out on busy Chestnut street, is shut in
from the rest of the floor by a parti-
tion, with translucent but not trans-
parent glass. Here, in the quiet seclu-
sion of his private oflSce, sat the head
of the House of Dreer.
William F. Dreer is a man of dignified
appearance, which is in quiet harmony
with his courteous manners. While Mr,
Dreer has been through the hurly-burly
of active business through the earlier
days of his house's struggle to reach
its present height, he now is seldom
seen by those to whom the name of
Dreer is a household word. His chiefs
know him and respect him highly. To
their loyalty is due in no small degree
the success that has so steadily con-
tinued. Mr, Dreer believes this loyalty
essential in any enterprise, large or
small.

Order now — today, not tomorrow — your Metal Wreaths for May 30. They are beautiful
wreaths that look as though you had just made them up with fresh flowers. They are
scarce wreaths. So we urge you not to wait until next day. It is more pleasant to fill
orders than to make excuses.

Q The opportunity of making it a red-letter day is in your
hands, and it is up to you to make it a paying one.

These baskets are of appropriate desiam, with a carnation, bym-
bolic of Mothers' Day, in hand-painted relief on the side.

< BALTIMQILE.
Tbe Market.
Business conditions are suflEering a
relapse. An increased supply of stock
is coming in and, as the demand is light,
prices have fallen off considerably. The
street boys bought up large quantities
of roses April 29 and, as the weather
was good, they moved the best part of
them. Carnations have not suffered so
much as some other stock as regards
price. Peas, owing to the wanner
weather, are rather short in stem. Some
few lUacs are coming in and they will
be in full crop next week.
The advent of warm weather has
started the bedding plant season and,
following on the heels of a late Easter,
many growers are unprepared. As the
majority sold all blooming plants at
Easter, the quantity of available stock
is none too large.
Various Notes.
Visitors last week included J. J.
Goudy, of Dreer's; Cha«. E. Meehan,

Bayersdorfer, all of Philadelphia; Geo.

The Market.
The warmer weather has increased
the production of stock of all kinds,
but sales continue good and fair prices
prevail. There is a glut of Easter lilies
and these are being sold at the buyer's
own price. This also applies to calla
lilies.
Orders from northern points are aid-
ing in the movement of lilac, which is
coming in profusion. There also is a
good sale for apple, flowering almond,
cherry and peach blossoms, which are
being used in decorations. Their sale
this year is larger than usual and as a
result the greenhouse products are suf-
fering to a marked extent. Yellow and
white marguerites are plentiful and are
in good demand.
The local market is relieved of the
supply of daffodils, jonquils and tulips
and violets also are off the market.
Sweet peas are fine and sell well, hold-
ing their price of $2 per hundred.
Orchids are scarce and although the
price of 60 cents each is quoted, there
were a number of instances last week
where as high as $1.25 each was ob-
tained and the retailer was glad to get
them at that price. Gardenias are mov-
ing in quantities at from $2 to $3 per
dozen.
American Beauty roses are overplen-
tiful and the price has fallen to $2 and
$4 per dozen. Carnations are plentiful

GABDEKEBS' ESSAY CONTEST.
The essay contest of the National
Association of Gardeners for ex-Presi-
dent Everitt's gold prizes recently was
decided as follows, by Judges Edwin
Jenkins, Arthur Smith, William Downs,
William J. Stewart and J. Harrison
Dick:
Class 1.— "Horticulture as a Profesalon from
the Standpoint of a Gardener," awarded to "Sper«»
Mellora," or John Johnson, of Southampton, N. Y.
Class 3. — "Preparation of Ground for, and
General Treatment of Hardy Herbaceous Peren-
nials," awarded to "FiUus Terrae," or H. B.
Domer, of Northampton, Mass.
Class 4. — "A Year's Vegetable Supply,"
awarded to "Ian," or John S. Doig, of South-
borough, Mass.
In Class 2, "The Proper Grouping
and Culture of Trees, Shrubs, Perennials
and Annual Bedding Plants in the
Ornamentation of Private Grounds,"
no award was made by the judges, as
the papers submitted were not of suf-
ficient merit to warrant an award.
The essay contest for President
Craig's prizes of $25, $15 and $10, for
the best three papers on any horticul-
tural subject submitted by assistant
gardeners, now is under way. The con-
test will close November 1, and the
judges' decision will be rendered at the
next convention of the association,
which will be held in December. The
papers are limited to 2,500 words. They
must be signed with a nom de plume

J.W.LEWIS, 5649 Willow St, SEAHLE, WASH.
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS BUT ONCE.
26 acres rich, black, level soil, located
25 miles south of Chicago, especially
suited for truck gardening and greenhouse
business; also for anyone interested in
going into the greenhouse business on a large
scale this is an excellent opportunity, on
account of its proximity to Chicago as a mar-
ket, as well as place to obtain fertilizer, and
Illinois coal fields are also near making the
freight rate on same low; the E. J. & *;• tracKs
bound this tract on the south, the Michigan
Central on the north and the I. C. station at
Matteson is within sight of the land (Matteson
is their suburban terminal to Chicago). As an
individual I am in position to offer this at an
exceptional bargain, in fact less than the price
of ordinary farm land through this section.

MINNEAFOLIS.
The Market.
The Eaater trade broke all records.
"Sold out!" was the cry everywhere.
It would not be well to print what the
florists thought of the weather. It
rained and froze, and we had sleet ga-
lore, but people nevertheless insisted on
having their Easter flowers and plants.
Where "all the stock came from and
where it went surprised all. Deliveries
were hard to make because of the in-
clement weather. But, after all, it was
a banner Easter.
Various Notes.
After using two large delivery cars
all day April 22, William Desmond, of
Donaldson's, had to press into service
every oar available for Sunday morn-
ing deliveries. It was the best Easter
ever experienced.
The Minneapolis Floral Co. sold ev-
erything it had in bloom. Prices were
.good and local deliveries were not ex-
pensive. Many orders were delivered
without wrapping, which is always an
expensive item.
Mr. Carlson had a fine sale of potted
and cut stock. His roses were extra
fine.
The Nicollet avenue store of Miss
H. B. Whitted looked as if it had been
bombarded Sunday morning. Broken
flower pots, wrapping paper and a few
lengths of ribbon were the residue of a
$10,000 sale. Miss Whitted reports the
best Easter trade in years. More than
1,000 corsage bouquets were sold.
Thos. Lynes had a fine time. Sun-
day morning found him frantically call-
ing up one grower after another in an
attempt to buy lilies, but he could not
get all he wanted. He had several
church decorations and a large number
of orders for corsage bouquets.
Mr. Mitchell, proprietor of the Lake
Street Florist Shop, sold everything.
He says it was the best Easter ever.
The Lakewood Cemetery Association
had some of the finest lilies in the city.

About 10,000 sweet peas were cut.
These were of the Christmas Pink type
and have been flowering since Novem-
ber.
The New York Florists had a fine dis-
play of lilies and roses. AU stock was
sold. A great improvement in the Eas-
ter trade was reported.
Mr. Pangolas, of the Minneapolis
Fruit Store, cleaned out all the stock
he had. He reports quite a trade in
corsage bouquets of sweet peas.
The Sunshine Florists had an excel-
lent sale of all items. They featured
baskets with individual plants.
Oscar E. Amundson, as usual, had a
good display of azaleas and other

The staff was as busy as bees packing
and shipping stock. At times it seemed
almost more than they could handle.
Careful shipping and packing is of
vital importance to the retail buyer,
and it is one of the largest assets for
a grower. "Careful packing and no
kicks," is the motto.
Four new delivery cars were placed
on the road for Easter by local florists.
R. Latham, of Tenth street, south,
had a fine display of lilies, azaleas,
ferns, hydrangeas and rhododendrons,
which had a quick sale.
William F. Holmes had a most suc-
cessful Easter trade. His store was
filled with blooming plants, cut flowers
and Easter novelties. Mr. Holmes'
store always has splendid window dis-
plays and it is here that the newest of
novelties and latest creations are seen.
The New York Florists shared in the
praise of the Minneapolis people for
the magnificent displays and artistic-
ally arranged stores. F. E. B.
BOCHESTES, N. Y.

Business averaged good last week and
most of the stores were busy. A num-
ber of weddings, receptions and funer-
als called for a large quantity of flow-
ers and plants, and store work on the
whole was heavy. The returns for
Easter show that business was well up
to its standard and some of the down-
town stores did a record business. It

seema that there is plenty of money
about, and that the conditions are
not 80 bad as sometimes stated. The
stores are well supplied with potted
plants, including a large number of
rambler roses, rhododendrons, azaleas
and hydrangeas. There has been more
than the usual display of marguerites in
crocks of all sizes, which have moved
well. They were used extensively for
basket work and were most effective.
The cut flower market was well sup-
plied with all kinds of stock last week.
Boses are abundant and have moved
freely. They are resuming their usual
prices. Carnations are plentiful and of
good quality. They promise to be quite
plentiful for Mothers' day. Violets are
about over. Sweet peas are quite nu-
merous and receive a large sale. Or-
chids sell fairly well. Gardenias move
nicely. Valley is in good condition and
sells well. Daffodils and jonquils are
still holding up and are good sellers.
Calendulas, myosotis, yellow and white
daisies and cut hyacinths are used ex-
tensively for basket work. The supply
of greens meets all demands. Bedding
stock is ready and is moving, but
somewhat slowly.
Various Notes.
Clarke Vick recently made a trip to
Cleveland and brought back a new
truck by road. The return trip was en-
joyable and quite uneventful. The truck
was purchased by George B. Hart^

seat 100 were placed in the shape of
the letter U, with a raised staging at
the top of the letter. The stage was
tastefully decorated with a fountain,
ferns and greenery. The tables were
decorated with roses and jonquils. Large
rhododendrons were grouped around the
large hall.
The Kaelber Flower Store had a
pretty window decoration last week,
consisting of a large bank of pink rho-
dodendrons and marguerites. Pretty
French flower bowls enhanced the dis-

well.
Jacob Thomann & Sons report an
exceedingly large business at Easter.
They were busy last week and are re-
ceiving many orders for outdoor plants,
of which they have a large stock.
H. B. Stringer, of G. B. Hart's, was
home last week suffering with a bad
cold that he contracted during the
Easter rush.
The wiadow display of the Rochester
Floral Co. April 28 and 29 was of
purple and yellow flowers. Mats of
the same color completed the color
scheme. Cut glass vases filled with
jonquils were shown in the front.
C. J. Ford, of A. Herrmann, New
York, was in town last week showing
an extensive line of novelties.
H. E. Wilson is showing a new line
of jardinieres and vases in art ware
and also a pretty collection of fancy cut
glass vases and baskets. Mr. Wilson
did a record Easter business and car-
ried a fine collection of plants.
E. E. Fiy is doing a good business at
both of his stores. His Easter trade
was extremely heavy. H. J. H.
ST. Loxns.
The Market.
Business at the wholesale markets
last week was light. On account of the
Sunday closing, the demand for stock
increased Saturday. Retailers report
trade slow since Easter. The large
supply of stock coming in daily is only
half consumed. Low prices prevailed
all week. Spanish irises, greenhouse-
growTi gladioli, valley and orchids had
a good demand and therefore were not
in oversupply. All varieties of roses
are in oversupply, especially pink and
white. Tlie same may be said of car-

nations. These were offered at $4 per
thousand April 28, and at that hardly
moved. Sweet peas are plentiful, too
much so. Fine double lilac is selling
well. Daffodils are plentiful and vio-
lets are over for this season. Lilies and
callas have crowded the wholesalers'
tables all week. Fancy ferns sell at $3
per thousand. Asparagus is in good de-
mand, as well as smilax.
Various Notes.
Eeports regarding Easter business
still are coming to hand and they are
such that I repeat that St. Louis florists
experienced one of the best Easter
trades this year.
The executive committee of the spring
flower show met April 24 at the office
of the Bourdet Floral Co. The work
of the various committees for this show
was commended.
Miss J. Mottell, head of. the office
force of the Nicotine Mfg. Co., 117
North Main street, reports a number of
large shipping orders last week. One
came from New Zealand, on which was
marked: "Saw your advertisement in
The Review." J. S. Carter, head of
the company, was a visitor in Chicago
recently.
The leading retailers in the west end
report a number of decorations booked
for "weddings and social functions to
take place this month.
Oscar Kuehn, of the W. C. Smith
Wholesale Floral Co., spent Easter at
the Missouri Botanical Garden and took
several fine photographs of the Shake-
spearean garden, which was opened to
the public April 23.
Charles and Henry Meyer, of Webster
Groves, had a grand cut of sweet peas
that were classed with the fancies for
the Easter trade. They will have a
large cut for Memorial day.
Planting-out time is at hand. Wm.
Schray & Sons, Charles Beyer, F. Fill-
more, J. M. Walther and John Held
are waiting for the warm weather so
that they may start working on the
many orders booked.
Our local rose growers, Messrs. Pil-
cher, Werner, Cerny and Steidle, had a
good cut of extra fine quality Russell,
iphelia'and Killarney roses for Easter.
The local trade consumed the greater
part of this cut.
A visit to the office and storerooms
of Lechner Bros., in the Caxton build-
ing, was interesting. I found them busy
getting out large orders of bulbs for
the local and outside florists. Martin

Lechner says they are much pleased
with this season's business.
The H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co.
consigned extra fancy double white and
purple lilacs and Spanish irises to the
W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., which
were readily disposed of to the local
trade at good prices.
Cut liHes were in heavy supply at the
store of H. G. Berning last week. Boses
and carnations, too, were in abundance,
but the demand since Easter had been
light in all kinds of cut flowers.
The retailers have taken up Mothers'
day with more enthusiasm this year and
all have display cards in the show
windows. They look forward to a big
business May 14.
Dr. George T. Moore, director of the
Missouri Botanical Garden, who served
on the board of jurors at the National
Flower Show and at the New York
spring show, returned recently, and re-
ports that both shows were wonderful.
Paddy Patton, who has been under
the doctor's care, was asked why he
was skipping around so lively. He said
the doctor told him to take three hours'
running exercise and then skip an hour.
At the time he was skipping.
Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo.,
visited Davenport, la., recently to con-
sult a specialist there in regard to his
spinal trouble, which was resulting in
the loss of the use of his left arm. He
visited the wholesale market April 28
and reported much improvement in his
arm.
George H. Pring, orchid specialist at
the Missouri Botanical Garden, deliv-
ered an address on "The Mimicry of
Orchids" before the Mothers* Circle at
the Clifton Heights school April 15.
W. C. Smith, who bought the old
Valentine place of six acres at Kirk-
wood, Mo., some time ago, will start a
force of men planting out fruit trees
this week.
J. J. Beneke left April 30 for a few
days' visit to Chicago.
Robert Newcomb, of Chicago, called
on the county growers last week.
Charles Young, president of the Re-
tail Florists' Association, says the as-
sociation will hold an important meet-
ing May 15, at the Mission Inn Garden.
The great importance of this meeting
should bring out a good attendance.

The Market.
For several days after Easter the cut
flower business was extremely dull, but
beginning April 28 an improvement
was noted. We have had an abnormal
number of dark, sunless and rainy or
snowy days right through the month.
May opens under more pleasant auspices
and we now hope to get some settled
spring weather. Boses, with clearer
skies, are coming in more freely and
prices have softened somewhat, and
there is more trouble in making clear-
ances. Eed varieties, like Hadley,
Francis Scott Key and Hoosier Beauty,
still are leaders in favor. Ophelia, Bus-
sell and yellows come next in popular-
ity, with the several Killarneys bring-
ing up the rear. American Beauties are
in good supply and move well.
Carnations are making good prices,
$1.50 to $4 being the prevailing figures,
with Pink Sensation somewhat higher.
There are small numbers of double vio-
lets, but the season for them is prac-
tically over. Sweet peas are in good
demand and are the most popular flow-
ers on the market. Easter lilies and
callas are hard to sell. Some growers
failed to flower some of their lilies for
Easter and these now flood the market.
Pansies, primroses and marguerites are
all abundant. Yellow marguerites are
plentiful and lower priced.
Mignonette is druggy; so are snap-
dragons. Spanish iris is good and the
best colors sell satisfactorily. Gladioli

as yet are not abundant and bring an
average of $8 per hundred. Peach Blos-
som and Blushing Bride are the two
leading varieties. Of narcissi and tulips
the supply still is an ample one. Cat-
tleya Mossise now is coming in more
freely. Prices as high as $15 to $18 per
dozen, at wholesale, were recorded for
Easter. Gardenias are abundant and
cheaper, but lily of the valley remains
in short supply. Asparagus, both
Sprengeri and plumosus, has continued
to sell well.
Various Notes.
Those who were unable to visit the
Philadelphia and New York shows
should, if possible, come and see the
May show in Horticultural hall, Boston,
May 10 to 14. There are nearly $5,000
in premiums offered and ' the manage-
ment fears that it will be difficult to
find accommodation for all the exhibits
promised. The time selected for the
show is a busy one for gardeners and
florists, but I hope a large number will
find time to visit the exhibition.
John T. Gale, of Tewksbury, has fin-
ished picking violets, but his yellow
marguerites are in heavy crop. These
flowers are grown most successfully by
Mr. Gale.
The cerise pink seedling carnation,
No. 360, grown by the late Albert
Boper, has attained great popularity in
the local market here and sells on sight.
It is the best seedling of this color yet
introduced. Alice Coombs, Grace and
Commonwealth are all arriving in fine
shape.
Boston and vicinity were treated to
one more snow storm April 28. The lo-
cal weather bureau gave the fall as
seven and two-fifths inches, but in the
suburbs it was much heavier and ever-

Bros, at the Boston Flower Exchange,
has been quite ill with tonsillitis. In
his absence E. Allan Peirce officiated as
salesman, a somewhat new calling for
him and one which he found difficult for
a few days. Peirce Bros, are strong
now on Ophelia and d'Arenberg roses.
They also have a nice cut of Hadley,
Killarney, White Killarney and Sun-
burst.
H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is cutting
a fine lot of Blushing Bride and Peach
Blossom gladioli. He still has a good
cut of tulips and narcissi, of which he
grows heavily.
George W. Foster, of Wamesit, is
shipping in a superior grade of Spencer
peas to George Marshall. His carna-
tions are doing remarkably well, espe-
cially Eosette, Pink Delight, White
Wonder and Champion.
There is a wonderful increase in rock
gardening in this section at present.
The old idea that such gardens were
impracticable here has been well ex-
ploded. Interesting plants now are
flowering in the rockeries, and all who

There is no finer and more popular
pink snapdragon seen in our markets
now than Paul E. Eichwagen's Virginia.
The color seems to be just what the pub-
lic wants.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hutcheon, of
Stoughton, visited the recent shows in
Philadelphia and New York as well as
Washington and Baltimore. Mr. Hutch-
eon is shipping in fine Blushing Bride
gladioli and Spencer sweet peas.
The Boston Bose Co. had on exhibi-
tion April 29, a bunch of a new hybrid
tea seedling rose from the Montgomery
Co. The outer petals were light, the
inner ones deep pink. The color is quite
distinct. In substance of flowers and
foliage this novelty is all that could be
desired.
The labor problem in and around Bos-
ton is acute this season. Both commer-
cial and private establishments are find-
ing great trouble in securing men,
owing to more attraction of pay offered
by the railroads, munition factories,
etc:, and increased pay has been found
necessary to secure even ordinary la-
borers.
Mothers' day seems likely to be more
pushed here than ever this year and
growers of carnations are anticipating
record sales of white varieties. ' If more
of the retailers Would only give promi-
nence to the occasion in their stores, by
letters or through advertising in the
daily press, sales could be greatly in-
creased. It would pay wholesalers, re-
tailers and growers to combine and do
some cooperative advertising for this
day. W. N. C.

SO to ^, 1916.
There are rumors that the government
will discontinue its experiments in bulb
growing at Bellingham, Wash.
The Hoxsie Nurseries, Hoxsie, E. I.,
are making a success of narcissus bulbs
for the trade, specializing on Emperor and
Golden Spur. The work has been going
on for four years, following ten years*
experience in Virginia. TuBps also are
being grown in increasing quantity. The
Rhode Island Golden Spurs, it is claimed,
will force three weeks earlier than im-
ported stock.
It usually is considered that the mail-
order seed season closes with April, but
the first week in May finds quite a little
still doing this year. The U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture says the season
is ten days late on the average this year
and planting operations correspondingly
behind. It appears that the mail-order
seed business in AprU compares more fa-
vorably with last year than was the case
with March, but that April has not done
much to make good the deficit of the first
part of the season. Counter trade still
is active, rather ahead of the average first
week in May.
AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.
A mere statement in a letter that
the writer holds certain goods at a
certain price must be interpreted as
an invitation to negotiate with him on
that basis, and not as an offer to sell,
which may be turned into a binding
contract by the person to whom the
letter is written by signifying his will-
ingness to buy at that price. So holds
the Supreme court of Nebraska in the
case of the Nebraska Seed Co. versus
Harsh (152 Northwestern Reporter
310).
The company received a letter from
the defendant stating that he had about
1,800 bushels of millet seed, of which
he was mailing a sample. After stat-
ing that the seed was grown on sod,
had been recleaned and was good seed,
the letter closes: "I want $2.25 per
hundredweight for this seed, f. o. b.
Lowell." The company immediately
wired and wrote that the "offer" was
accepted. When the defendant refused
to make delivery, the company sued
him for breach of contract and won a
judgment, but, on the defendant's ap-
peal to the Supreme court, the judg-
ment was reversed, the higher court de-
claring:
"In our opinion the letter of the de-
fendant cannot be fairly construed as
an offer to sell the seed. After describ-
ing the seed, the writer says, 'I want
$2.25 per hundredweight for this seed,
f. o. b. (Liowell.* He does not say, *I
offer to sell to you.* The language is
general, and such as may be used in an
advertisement, or in a circular ad-
dressed to those engaged in the seed
business, and is not an offer by which
he may be bound, if accepted, by any
or all of the persons addressed. The
letter, as a whole, shows that it was
not intended as a final proposition, but
as a request for bids. It did not fix a
time for delivery, and this seems to
have been regarded as one of the es-

sentials by the company, for in its tele-
gram it requests the defendant to 'wire
how soon can load.' The letter of ac-
ceptance was not in the terms of the
offer. The defendant stated that he
had 1,800 bushels or thereabouts. He
did not fix a definite and certain quan-
tity. It might be 1,800 bushels; it
might be more; it might be less; but
the company undertook to make the
acceptance for 1,800 bushels — no more,
no less. The defendant might not have
this quantity, and therefore be unable
to deliver; he might have a greater
quantity, and after filling the order
have a quantity of seed on hand for
which he might not find a market. We
may assume that when he wrote the
letter he did not contemplate the sale
of more seed than he had, and that he
fixed the price on the whole lot whether
it was more or less than 1,800 bushels.
We do not think the correspondence
made a complete contract. To so hold
where a party sends out letters to a
number of dealers would subject him
to suit by each one receiving a letter,
or invitation to bid, even though his
supply of seed were exhausted."
No proof seems to have been made in
this case whether the defendant wrote
similar letters to other seedsmen. It
would seem that, if he did not, the
circumstance might have been fairly
considered on the question whether he
actually intended to offer the seed for
sale or to merely invite an offer from
the company, except for the fact that,
because he did not offer a definite quan-
tity, there was no basis for a mutual
understanding as to the quantity to be
delivered — an essential feature of every
contract to sell goods. S.

The Rorists' Review
Mat 4. 1916.
FIELD TO BXniiD HOME.
The following appeared April 26 in a
Des Moines paper under a Shenandoah
date line:
The old site of the old Mormon village of
Mantl, gone back to the virginal woods it was
before the coming of the Mormons, has been pur-
chased by Henry Field, president of the Henry
Field Seed House, who wilt build a summer home
there. Mr. Field paid $150 an acre for the five-
acre tract of wooded land. It will become known
now as Hickory bill.
Only a graveyard and one old bouse mark the
spot of the one-time Mormon village. Manti was
settled about 1847 and flourished for several years,
A po8tofl3ce \Vas established there and many
stage coaches visited the town.
The coming of the railroad killed the town.
The price of land about Mantl, then $10 an acre,
caused settlers to buy the lowland grounds where
Shenandoah now stands for $5 an acre. The
stores and other buildings at Manti were re-
moved bodily to Shenandoah and the old Mormon
village ceased to exist.
Many of the once well known figures of the
Mormon -church in Iowa are buried at Mantl. One
of these is Alpheus Cutler, a leader in the church,
who predicted that the streets of the town would
run blood to the depth of a horse's bridle. The
prediction seemed in a fair way to be verified
Just before the start of the Civil war and during
that conflict, as Manti was often visited by bush-
whacking bands.
Mr. Field plans to leave the rare beaoity of the
spot untouched save for the erection of his sum-
mer home. He is wealthy and a lover of outdoor
Ufe.
MOTT-LY OLEANINCa.
"The seedsmen of Canada are pass-
ing through the most strenuous period
of their history," said Manager An-
nandale, of the Steele-Briggs Seed Co.,
of Toronto, Ont. "Then add to this
the freight embargo and demands from
our branches at Hamilton and Winni-
peg; in fact, we do not know where
we shall eventually land, but we are
doing our best to make the best of the
situation. Fortunately, we have the
sympathy of our patrons."
The J. A. Simmers Seed Co., Toronto,
has several employees at the front,
headed by J. A. Simmers, Jr. The over-
seas contingents are placing a heavy
burden on those at home, who are do-
ing nobly and praying for an early
peace. Herman Simmers commented
pleasantly on the way the concern had
been helped with stock by some Amer-
ican houses.
Now that the "William Rennie Co. is
in its new store, nearly all the seeds-
men are located in the same block,
which makes it more convenient for
the customer and centralizes the busi-
ness.
J. A. Bruce & Co., of Hamilton,
Ont., recalled the story of their illus-
trious namesake, who was inspired by
watching the repeated efforts of a spi-
der to spin its web. Success comes to
those who similarly persevere.
Eobert Thistle, of Stratford, Ont.,
has a large order for seed potatoes,
which will be filled as soon as the
weather permits. Carloads that should
have been distributed are held up for
various reasons.
James Hunter of the Darch & Hun-
ter Seed Co., London, Ont., believes
this year will see a complete revolu-
tion in many ways and means. The
inventive genius will be more in evi-
dence and the labor problem solved in
a great degree. Different methods in
the uses and kinds of insecticides will
be adopted with benefit to all.
The A. J. Morgan Seed Store, of
London, failed to understand why we
should be so unkind as to advance the
price of sulphur, among other items.
He always was given to understand
that was on the free list. W. M.

LILY BULBS
THAT ARE GOOD
Lily bulbs are not good
things to experiment with.
You cannot tell by looking at
the bulbs whether they are the
kind you can depend upon, or
whether they were dug from
a diseased field. We know,
however, just where our bulbs
come from, and who grew them,
and you may depend upon the
bulbs you buy from us as
being the best the price will
buy. We sell all varieties, but
for general use we recommend
our Giganteum, selling as fol-
lows:
Size 6x8 inch $4.00 per 100;
$14.00 per case of 400; or
35.00 per 1000.
Size 7x9 inch $6.00 per 100;
$15.00 per case of 300; or
50.00 per 1000.
Size 9 X 10 inch $10.00 per 100;
$19.00 per case of 200; or
95.00 per 1000.
The above are for fall de-
hvery, sound arrival guaran-
teed. And we deliver from fif-
teen different cities at the
same price.

TOMATOES IN TRUCK GARDENS.
Preparing the Field for Planting.
In the preparation of the soil the
best results can be obtained if the
grower will have the soil analyzed. It
will pay to have both a chemical and
mechanical analysis. This will not only
determine the amount of plant food
contained in the soil, but also, what is
more essential from the grower's point
of view, the amount of plant food avail-
able for the crop. When this has been
determined, the grower knows what
will be required to carry the crop
through.
The analysis may show that he has
a soil with an excess of humus. He
will then naturally use a base manure
that contains a heavy percentage of
phosphate and wiU eliminate the am-
monia from it, thus neutralizing the
tendency to rank and excessive growth
in the early stages of the plant. The
phosphate will produce hard, short,
pointed plants. Well decayed stable
manure or cow manure is the best to
work into the soil, using the stable
manure where the soil is heavy, to open
and lighten it, and the cow manure
where the soil is light, to give it weight
and to supply moisture. It is impossi-
ble to dictate to the grower and say
his land requires ten, twenty or forty
tons of manure to the acre. That de-
pends on the tilth and fertility of the
soil, and always remember that we are
growing fruiting plants and not foliage
plants.
Soil Cultivation.
Bemember that the soil is a living
organism, and that it should be treated
in such a manner that air, light and
water will have free access to it. The
finer the tilth of the soil, the better it
can be cultivated. Deep cultivation, to
break up the subsoil, providing you do
not bring too much of the subsoil to
the surface at once, is a fine thing for
the soil. It breaks up capillary attrac-
tion and makes the soil drier and
warmer in the spring, and also makes
it more retentive of moisture in the
summer.
After discovering the composition of
the soil, whether it is heavy, light, dry
or wet, whether it is subject to subirri-
gation, etc., you can start to manure
it in a practical manner. In the first
Slace, the soil may be short of lime.
Tow, lime is the basis of all fertility.
It enables the plant to get the full bene-
fit of the food contained in the soil.
It is a first-class servant, but a bad
master. Never on any account over-
lime your soil and kill its fertility.
The Use of Lime.
Lime is absolutely necessary to the
good cultivation of the soil. To test
the soil for lime, place a small sample
of soil, made up from a mixture of
about twenty samples taken from va-
rious parts of the land, in a pint glass
and then pour on to it a 3-ounce glass
of muriatic acid. If this effervesces
and bubbles freely, the soil, as a rule,
contains sufficient lime. If, on the
other hand, it hardly bubbles at all,
lime is necessary. Apply a dressing of

Giant Pansies
An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The
main advantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto
existing Pansies is the extreme earliness of flowering
and their unusual hardiness. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin
flowering the early part of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground,
many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when all other
Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well formed and
fragrant. Seed ready July 1 .

Training the Plants.
In the truck garden Idie training of
the plants is ^a problem, 'bf cents and
dollars, and We want the dollars. Ear-
liness is a great point in marketing
and in obtaining good prices; so we
must see whether there is some method
by which we can bring a good propor-
tion of our crop of fruit in early. From
a large, practical experience in several
elimates, I am convinced there is such
a method.
Estimate how many tomatoes you
can dispose of at top prices. Get the
best early variety that is suitable to
your district and soil. Plant them out
two feet apart, row to row, and one
foot apart in the row. Stake the plants
with strong bamboo canes, or use a top
and bottom wire fixed on strong stakes,
training them up strings fastened to
the wires. Stop the tomatoes above
the third bunch of bloom, leaving one
leaf above the bloom to draw up the
fruit. Allow no side shoots to grow;
then all the energy of the plants will
go into the development of these three
bunches of fruit, and give you an extra
early, paying crop of tomatoes. A sim-
ple matter of addition will convince
the grower that, with reasonable care,
he will come out ahead of the game.

SANTA BABBABA, OAL.
The market.
Easter trade was good here, and a
run of funeral work just afterward
made a satisfactory clean-up of what
stock remained. Lilies were plentiful,
but the demand was good and cleaned
them up well. As the season advances,
the northern roses are better than those
shipped in from southern points; con-
sequently, much of the business is go-
ing that way. Spanish irises and sweet
peas have been particularly good.
Various Notes.
Gleave's Flower Shop reports a fine
clean-up for Easter. At the time of my
call, a few days after Easter, all were
busy with good funeral work. Some
grand Ophelia and Hadley roses were
shown.
A. Beverley, of Mission Nursery, re-
ports the best season's business he has
ever had. He has been cutting mag-
nificent sweet peas.
The new plantings at the Cowles es-
tate are coming out excellently and
the condition of this beautiful place is
improving steadily. William Donald,
the clever landscape gardener here, has
a fine cottage close to the home nursery,
where he and his niece, Miss Burdette,
dispense hospitality in a manner most
satisfactory to visitors.
Stock is in excellent condition at the
city nurseries.
Fine Easter lilies were grown at the
greenhouses in connection with Mrs.
Whipple 's store and these were sold out
clean. H. R. Richards.
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
"A disappointing Easter," was the
general verdict of the retailers, though
there were some exceptions. The quan-
tity of pot lilies on the market was so
far in excess of the demand that every-
one was tired of seeing them around,
and at least one of our oriental friends
hit upon the happy idea of giving away
a cut lily stem with every pot sold —
a novel way of reducing stock. As a
matter of fact, there was never a better
illustration of the well known saying
that "a late Easter is a poor one."
Spirseas sold out well, the general idea
being that they looked a little different
from Easter lilies and were therefore
favorites. Roses in pots met with a
poor sale and cut roses were not of first-
rate quality, or worth the money asked.
There were practically no azaleas. Rho-
dodendrons were also about over. A
few cyclamens sold and also a few —
extremely few — pots of valley. Carna-
tions were, possibly, in better demand
than any other flowers. Ferns sold well
and a few early dahlias were soon
snapped up. Funeral work helped out
in the few days following Easter, but,
taken as a whole, the week was far
from good.
Various Notes.
Wolfskins' & Morris Goldenson

made a fair clean-up.

Early in the week mail and telegraph
orders were heavy at the new store of
the Redondo Floral Co., on West Sev-
enth street. Notwithstanding the large
stock on hand, there was little left.
Professors Borden and Knopf were both
on the job, and dispensing the genial
smiles for which both are famous.
Large pans of lilies and good cut stock
met with the best demand.
C. E. Morton and Mrs. Morton have
returned from Arizona.
A call on George Eischen, at his new
store at Ocean Park, showed everything
in excellent shape and he is well
pleased with business generally and for
Easter. Mr. Eischen was one of the
judges at the Santa Monica show, W.
W. Felgate and J. McGilvray being the
others. A highly successful show was
reported.
At Sierra Madre the spring flower
show opened April 27, with fine dis-
plays and a fair attendance. The prin-
cipal trade groups were from the Ward
nursery, at Sierra Madre, from Ed.
Rust, of Pasadena, and from the Ger-
main Seed & Plant Co., of Los Angeles.
H. W. Turner, H. R. Richards, J. Mc-
Gilvray and Jacob Dieterich were ap-
pointed judges, but, as Mr. Dieterich
was detained on other business, W. W.
Felgate officiated in his place.
The sweet peas grown for seed by the
Germain Seed & Plant Co., at the Whit-
tier road, are a magnificent sight just
now, about twenty acres being planted
with the finest Spencers and other
kinds. The clear-cut blocks of color
look fine from the road and attract a
great deal of attention from passing
autoists.

SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
Judging from reports, Easter business
caused no disappointments in the local
trade. There was an abundance of
stock of good quality, weather condi-
tions were favorable and stocks cleaned
up closely all around at normal prices.
Things seemed a little slow last week,
but the after-holiday condition was not
so pronounced as on former occasions.
The warm days have brought in a flood
of stock, which has been rather hard
to make use of. The market is well
supplied with late Easter lilies and good
stock is selling at low prices. Many
potted rambler roses have been brought
in since Easter, as well as a lot of fine
French hydrangeas and spiraeas. Car-
nations are plentiful and cheap; the
same is true of sweet peas, it being
difficult even to move all of the firs^
class stock. There is an oversupply of
roses, the cut of baby roses being par-
ticularly heavy. The latter are popular,
but the quantities coming in exceed the
demand. The crop of Spanish irises is
at its height and sells well. A few
tulips still are appearing and there is
a good supply of peonies. Some cut
pansies are offered and the supply is

Various Notes.
C. Kooyman has issued a new bulb
catalogue and is taking many orders.
Mrs. R. E. Darbee, the Hyde street
florist, reports a splendid Easter busi-
ness, the demand for plants having been
particularly good. She says the ship-
ping business is holding up well since
the holiday. She is sending out many
Easter lilies, irises and Cecile Brunner
roses. A feature of her shipping busi-
ness is the opening of a large number
of new accounts during the last three
or four weeks with florists in Idaho,
Montana and Nevada, who, heretofore,
evidently have been depending upon
other markets for their supplies.
At his place in San Jose, Charles
Navlet, who operates the plant and seed
stand in the Emporium department

in cans that will be in bloom for Deco-

pots, it will not be necessary for pur-
chasers to disturb the roots when set-
ting them out in cemeteries or gardens,
as the cans will soon rot in the ground.

Last week they had a special display

Besides largely supplying the trade

H. Plath says he never before sold
80 many primulas as he did this Easter,
and then he could not fill all his orders.
He also disposed of many rambler roses,
spiraeas, lilies and other seasonable

of baskets of potted primulas, azaleas
and small ferns, which proved popular
with the downtown shops.

The Market.
Good weather, with money a little
easier, combined to make Easter this
year a record-breaker for the Portland
florists.' There was not enough stock
to meet the demand. Potted lilies and
carnations were sold out early and then
all sorts of potted plants — ^hydrangeas,
rhododendrons, azaleas, spiraeas, forget-
me-nots, pelargoniums and even gera-
niums, with potted roses and decorated
baskets — were cleaned up. One or two
lots of lilies did not come in on time,
but most of the growers brought their
! stocks into excellent condition. Carna-

tions brought 75 cents to $1 per dozen;
lilies 25 cents per bud, with most of
the small buds counted. Boses and
other cut stock brought better prices
than they did a year ago. The general
result is encouraging, as it is an indi-
cation that financial conditions have im-
proved. Several stores opened branches
to facilitate deliveries and many report
that the rush was handled with less
trouble than usual.
Seedsmen who handle plants made a
clean-up and are greatly pleased with
their success. Shippers were obliged to
refuse entirely or only partially fill many
orders from outside points.
Considerable activity in social circles
continued throughout all of last week
and, with a fair demand for funeral
work, the stocks of cut flowers were
well cleaned up every day.
Dealers in hardy perennials report
that their sales so far this season have
broken all records. Warmer weather,
indicating that the season for frosts is
over, has started a brisk movement in
bedding stock and some of the florists
are delivering filled window boxes and
porch decorations.
Various Notes.
Oscar Johnson, who has a range of
glass at Beaverton, has opened a flower
store at 768 Gleason street, a location
previously occupied by Hoffman Bros.
He combines landscaping with his
florists' business.
E. L. Shelton has taken a position as
foreman of the greenhouse range at
Twenty.third and Gleason streets, oper-
ated by the Swiss Floral Co.
C. C. Ruenitz closed his store at noon
Easter Sunday, as he had nothing left
to sell.
\J. Nyberg, an onion grower of Tuali-
in, said that his land had beel flooded
twice this winter. The last time was in
March and the soil is not as yet in a
suitable condition for planting. He
stated that several growers in his dis-
trict will not try to grow onions this
year, as the result will depend on mid-
summer weather, which is decidedly un-
certain, and the demand from California.
Martin & Forbes have leased space
for a new store in the Morgan building,
across the street and a few doors west
of their present location. Entrances and
show windows are being provided by
the owners on Washington and Park
streets, which will permit an elaborate
display of flowers. The company will
fit up the interior and plans to make
it up-to-date in every respect. The
store will be opened June 1.
Max Smith last week displayed some
forced salpiglossis. The stems were long
and the blooms attractive.
Gustave J. Burkhardt expects a brisk

The Magnificent Lavender Freesia
^E only commercial colored Freesia in the world. A truly wonderful
novelty that took many years to produce. The above cut will give
some idea of its beauty. It represents a bunch of only twelve sprays
photographed side by side with my new GIANT WHITE. One glance will
satisfy anyone of its wonderful commercial merit, and no words are necessary
to describe it except to say that the bunches figured measure nearly three feet
tall, not including the vase. It is much larger and stronger in every way than

Mr. Weddle, of the Portland Rose

The Tonseth Floral Co. has found a

SEATTLE,
The Market,
The later reports on Easter indicate
a satisfactory trade. Of course, some
stores did not do all the business they
expected and some had an oversupply of
flowers, which remained unsold, but the
general verdict is that, compared with
recent years, the sales were more nu-
merous and the prices better. Lilies,
as usual, were the predominent feature
and the price of 25 cents per bloom pre-
vailed in most of the stores, though
some tried to catch a little extra trade
by advertising them at 50 cents a pot,
for inferior stock, carrying three flow-
ers. The retail florists have to compete
at these times with outsiders who jump
into the business, and whose methods
are generally detrimental to the good
name of any florist. Of these there
were the usual number and they all
seemed to be doing a lively business.
There was the usual supply of other
potted plants, except roses, which ap-
peared to be scarcer than in recent
years. The sale for those offered was
good, however, and hardly any were
left over. There was little bulbous
stock and few azaleas. Cut flowers
moved well and have continued to do
so since Easter. The supply in most
cases is about equal to the demand.
Various Notes.
The staff of the Hollywood Gardens
were taxed to the utmost to look after
the large crowds patronizing their store.
They had their usual large supply of
flowers. Baskets filled with various
plants were among their best sellers.
Rosaia Bros, had one of the finest dis-
plays ever seen in Seattle and cleaned
up the greater part of their stock at
good prices. Notable among their plants
were some specimen Easter Greeting
pelargoniums, which retailed at $2.50
and $3. The larger part of their stock
was grown at Thomas and reflected
great credit on the growers.
Mrs. L. W. McCoy, at her new loca-
tion on Second avenue, had a large in-
crease of business compared with re-
cent Easters, showing the wisdom of
having acquired a more prominent sit-
uation for her store.
The Burns Floral Co. reports a prac-
tical clean-up of all Easter stock.
The Orpheum Floral Co. had a taste-
fully arranged display in the windows
and did a lively business. Cinerarias
of the stellata varieties were among the
notable showings.
The Harrington Co. had, as usual, a
high-class, selected stock and has no
complaints to make on the amount of
business done.
The Woodlawn Flower Store, in its
restricted space, did a large amount of
business and had to get in additional
supplies, though starting with what
was considered a sufficient stock for all
requirements.
Most of the carnation growers have
their stock all planted out and the re-
cent showery weather will prove bene-
ficial to the young plants. The bedding
season is in full blast and growers and
retailers are extremely busy. T. W.

W. E. Campbell, secretary of the Elm

fered a painful accident recently when
he stepped from a street car platform
into an unguarded telephone manhole.
His wrists were sprained and several rib*
were damaged.

will not increase the demand for trees
for orchard planting. When the Depart-
ment of Agriculture reported that, April

being forty-four per cent greater than on
the same date a year ago, it precipitated a
rush to unload that has materially affected
values and season 's profits.

in the Federal court at Louisville, Ky.,

Nursery Co., seeking to have a receiver
appointed to manage and to control the
affairs of the company and to rehire
Boone Gardiner to convey to the company
two tracts of land alleged to have been
transferred to him by M. L. Gardiner and
B. L. Cullen, without the knowledge or
consent of the stockholders. The court is
asked to require the foregoing to de-
liver all the records of the company to the
receiver and to make an accounting of all

THE BEST RED CARNATION
Plants in 8^-inch pots, ready for bench or field
WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long,
strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant
bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family.
Price of Ziinch plints is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We wfll bill 500 at the 1000 rate

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
April 22 issued Farmers' Bulletin No.
351, a pamphlet of ninety-six pages, that
will be of interest to nurserymen in the
east who specialize on peach. The title
of the bulletin is "The Terrapin Scale,
an Important Insect Enemy of Peach
Orchards." This pest is a serious one in
peach growing districts of Pennsylvania
and Maryland, but has not obtained much
of a foothold in other sections. The
purpose of the bulletin is to assist in
limiting its spread.

The Market.
The writer has been so rushed with
business the last two or three weeks
that he has found it impossible to make
the weekly reports. Trade conditions
have been good all of that time, and
the demand for cut flowers has kept
up remarkably well for the season.
Easter brought the best business it has
ever given the city, as far as actual
dollars' worth of business was con-
cerned. There was a large supply of
everything in readiness for the day,
but I seldom have seen so complete a
clean-up of stock. The demand was
insistent early and late, and when
one thing was sold out something else
took its place. Naturally the trade is
interested to know what sold best and
whether there was any turning from the
old favorites to new favorites. This
would be hard to say from the experi-
ence here, for everything went in its
torn. [Lilies were the favorites, of
course, and many desired nothing else,
but there was not the usual feeling
that lilies are the only appropriate flow-
ers. Hydrangeas and tulips were even
used for church decorations.
Spiraea was conspicuous by its absence.
Its day seems to be over in this city.
The trade do not take to it, apparently
for the reason that it will not last in
the homes of the buyers. Bamblar
roses in pots were in good demand and
were all sold at good prices. There was
a better assortment of varieties this
year than usual. Tausendschon seemed
to be the favorite.
Now that Easter is over, bedding
plants are going out with a rush. Last

week the weather was cool; in fact, it
was close to the freezing mark every
night, so that this week promises to be
even better than last week for the sale
of bedding plants. The quality of the
geraniums and the salvias is the best
I have ever seen, and the prices higher
than usual. In recent years the bulk of
the salvias sold at 50 cents per dozen
and the geraniums at $1. This season
75 cents would be rather below the
average for salvias and $1.50 for gera-
niums is about as low as they go. The
quality is better; the profits are larger;
the customer is more pleased.
Various Notes.
Geny Bros, are planning to do con-
siderable rebuilding at their old place
this summer. Oscar Geny, who has
been under the care of a physician for
some time, is Improving, but still is un-
able to attend to his regular duties.
Floyd Bralliac ^^ planting over an
acre of cannas this season. He is mak-
ing a full test of the new varieties of-
fered this year, in comparison with a
number of his own seedlings.
The Hillcrest School Farm has a re-
markable showing of irises at present,
embracing about 150 varieties. The
demand for irises certainly is on the
increase in this city.
The Joy Floral Co. had its carna-
tions in the field before the Easter
rush. I have never seen their green-
houses so completely empty as they
were the day after Easter. They re-
port the heaviest business they have
ever done at this season.
Haury & Sons have their wagons on
the street with pot plants of all kinds.
Mclntyre Bros, are oflfering their new
geranium, a sport of Tom Thumb, this
spring. This geranium has been be-
fore the public two years and has
proven a real winner for this locality.
Leslie Littel has nearly an acre in
bulbs of various kinds this spring. The
bulbs have made a wonderfully good
showing.
Charles Tritschler, who erected a
range of houses last summer and went
into the plant business, has the repu-
tation of having the best line of bed-
ding plants ever offered in the city.

Max 4, 1916.
OBAND BAPIDS, MIOH.
The Market.
Easter business was exceptionally
good this year. The weather was cold
and rainy and kept most of the trade
waiting, so that the greater part of the
business was done on the last day, but
everybody was ready for the rush.
Plants of all kinds were in excellent
condition. Azaleas were scarce and
nearly everybody was out of lilies by
night. Bulbous stock was good and
plentiful. Some fine hydrangeas and
rose bushes were on hand. Cut flowers
held out fairly well excepting sweet
peas. These were in heavy supply at
the start, but the demand was enor-
mous and they were soon gone. Violets
were in demand, but as they were not
in the market, roses and peas took their
place.
Various Notes.
Henry Smith had his usual large trade
and rented an extra store for display
and sales.
Eli Cross rented an extra store for
plant sales and reports a fine Easter
trade.
Arthur Crabb cleaned up on every-
thing and was well satisfied with the
result.
Lewis Kunst reports the sale of 4,000
geraniums at Easter, as well as a good
sale of fine Easter plants.
The Alfred Hannah Floral Co. had
cleaned up on all lilies by 6 p. m.
April 22, and there had been an extra
large stock. A. F. C.
Princeton, HL — After spending the
winter at New Orleans and other south-
ern points, W. E. Trimble contracted
typhoid fever while stopping at Hot
Springs on his way home.
Moline, HI. — The suit of Julius
Staack against the city for damage to
his greenhouses by water has been set-
tled. The city agrees to pay Mr.
Staack $6,000. The suit against the
street car company is pending.

The Florists' Review

PITTSBUEGH.
The Market.
Business was good all last week.
There were plenty of flowers and the
demand was active, winding up witk
a splendid Saturday, which cleaned up
everything in sight. In fact, April
proved to be a highly satisfactory
month, both to the plantsmen and the
cut flower growers. The conditions for
this week do not look so favorable, as
not a trolley car in the city is moving
and there are no signs of a settlement
of the strike of the street car em-
ployees. This strike, with that of thou-
sands of molders and mechanics, is
causing an extremely unsettled feeling.
The effect is felt today and will un-
doubtedly become worse the longer the
traction cars are tied up.
Various Notes.
Mrs. E. A. Williams had a full store
one day last week, when she was visited
by the kindergarten children from one
of the schools. There were about fifty
kiddies, all about 5 years old. After
they had seen the flowers and plants
and each one had received a bunch of
flowers, they sang flower songs and
songs of spring, and all concerned
thought it a happy event.
The Florists' Club met May 2. Many
of the members brought outdoor or
seasonable flowers and the audience was
entertained with lantern slides showing
the flora of Washington state.

■^m
rpHAT ontdoor-grown car-
nation plants have under
favorable conditions a su-
perior vigor, even the house
growing advocates promptly
acknowledge.
The decrease in outdoor
grown baa been largely due
to the inability to control
watering conditions. To de-
pend on Heaven's bounty is
entirely too uncertain.
The Skinner overhead irri-
gation solves all ttiat.
It turns an uncertnintr
Into a certainty.
At planting time and lift-
ing time alone, it is worth
Its cost.
In the last year we have
perfected new noszles for
both inside and outside use.
They throw a t>etter stream,
and throw it faitber. They
come pretty near to being
a complete solution to all
"nozzle plugging" or stop-

chine is another of our im-
provements. Also an auto-

After two or three hard freezings, they are lifted, potted and plunged in cold frames for the winter. They make good
root action all winter and are ready to do business in the spring. They should be shipped in pots. They should now carry
safely by freight. We bring in quite a lot for Decoration Day.

Creenhouse 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 trad« to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
WOULD BOILER BE SUITABLE?
Kindly let us know whether a second-
hand marine fire-box boiler would be a
good boiler for greenhouse heating.
Would it be more economical in con-
sumption of coal than a bricked-in
tubular boiler? W. B.— Ont.
A marine boiler would give good re-
sults for greenhouse heating and would
be quite economical of fuel. Whether
it would excel a tubular boiler in this
respect would depend upon the rela-
tion between the grate and fire surface
in each. Thus, if either boiler has
a large grate and a comparatively small
fire surface, while it would be econom-
ical so far as the labor of firing is
concerned, it would be likely to use a
good deal of coal. On the other hand,
a small grate and large fire surface
might be economical m fuel consump-
tion but require frequent attention.
ABOUT PIPING UNDER BENCHES.
I intend to build an additional house,
16x70, which will be protected on the
west side by another house. The other
house has pipes running under the
benches. In the new house I wish to
use beds with concrete walls twenty-
four inches high. In these beds I would
place, first, twelve inches of cinders.
Above the cinders I would put twelve
inches of soil. I would distribute the
return pipes along the bench walls, in
sufficient number to give plenty of heat.
Can ferns and geraniums be grown suc-
cessfullv without any bottom heatf
W. G. H.— Pa.
While there will be no difficulty in
growing ferns and geraniums on solid
beds, as described in the inquiry, a
more rapid development can be ob-
tained, especially with geraniums, if
a part of the pipes are under the beds.

purchasing fuel for immediate deliv-
ery or signing contracts with reliable
dealers. As stated a week ago, the
contract transactions predominate, but
there is also a good proportion of spot
business.
Fortunately for the florists, the trade
in smokeless coal is, apparently, the
weakest spot in the market and a little
difficulty IS experienced in maintaining
the present circular prices on mine-run,
$1.35 f. 0. b. the mines and $3.40 f. o. b.
Chicago. ' ' The smokeless situation, ' '
says the Black Diamond, "has im-
proved a little within the last week,
not because the demand is better, but
because the operators have kept unsold
coal oflf the market. Major producers
are holding to circular on mine-run, but
occasionally make concessions of 10 or
15 cents in order to move accumulated
lump and egg."

The Florists' Review
May 4. 1916.
BUFFALO.
The Market.
With the sunshine roses have become
abundant again, with the exception of
Beauties, which, while they may be had,
are of inferior grade. Ophelia and Bus-
sell roses continue to clear daily, but
White Killarney and Killarney are drag-
ging. The supply of carnations is nor-
mal again, although at the first of the
week they were scarce, because of the
Easter clean-up. They are of good
quality and the percentage of splits is
small. "^
Sweet peas clear rapidly one day;
the next day the sale is druggy. The
weather, of course, rules the sweet pea
situation, as the majority of the peas
are used in corsages, that is, outdoors.
Sweet peas are being used in the place
of roses and violets for that purpose.
Valley has not recovered from the tre-
mendous Easter demands, and as for
cattleyas, there are none to be had at
any price. Gardenias are sufficient, of
good quality and move at a reasonable
price. Of Easter lilies there is a lim-
ited supply. Callas did not experience
a large demand and are more plentiful.
Of miscellaneous stock there are
some items that are quite plentiful, such
as yellow and white dai£^e3, pansies,
calendulas and mignonette. Bulbous
stock is not abundant and is of rather
.poor grade. The supply of greens is
sufficient for all needs at present.
Various Notes.
Although the supply was heavier this
year than ever and the stock good, W.
J. Palmer & Son had to stop selling
flowers of all kinds at 7 o'clock April
22. There was such a tremendous de-
mand that it easily exceeded the supply.
Plants also sold out; by closing time
there was not a presentable plant left.
Saturday, April 29, Miss J. Schultz,
of Tonawanda, N. Y., was married to
Mr. Ard, of Buffalo. The ceremony was
performed at Lancaster, N. Y. The trade
wishes the couple happiness and success.
Galley Bros, had a splendid Easter
and had no difficulty whatever in de-
livering orders.
S. A. Anderson reports 4Q»e of ihe
busiest Easters of many years. There
is not a florist £a the dty whose Easter
business was not just as good as in pre-
vious years and it is saftf to say that it
was better with many of them.
Every florist now is looking forward
to Mothers' day. The market promises
to be good at that time, especially in
sweet peas, carnations and roses. There
also will be good seasonable plants
available. A. E.

The Florists' Review
Mat 4, 1918.
LANCASTER, PA.
Thursday evening, April 27, the Lan-
caster County Florists' Club held its
annual ladies' night in the Brenneman
hall. There were upwards of fifty in
attendance. The whole affair was of the
nature of a jubilee after the strenuous
Easter season. The committee in charge
consisted of A. M. Herr, L. Landis, E.
J. Weaver, Frank L. Kohr and Eudolph
Nagel, to whom the members are in-
debted for the successful arrangements
of the evening.
The retail stores furnished the decora-
tions, which were quite elaborate. Beau-
tiful corsages of orchid peas were pre-
sented to the ladies.
After the dinner bowling teams were
organized, and progressive "500" was
indulged in. Others enjoyed billiards
and still others just sat around and
chatted with friends.
In bowling the high score prize for
ladies was awarded to Mrs. Ella Leh-
man. Our genial friend, Dennis Con-
nor, carried off the honors in the men's
class. Other prizes in bowling were
awarded to Charles H. Tucker and Mrs.
"B. F. Barr. The prize-winners in * * 500 ' '
were Mr. and Mrs. Willis B. Girvin,
David Eose and Mrs. Albert M. Hen*.
H. K. R.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y.
The monthly meeting of the Oyster
Bay Horticultural Society was held in
Firemen's hall, April 26, at 7:30 p. m.
President Walker occupied the chair.
The secretary read a number of letters
from various ladies and gentlemen of-
fering prizes for the spring, summer
and chrysanthemum shows.
The president appointed as judges
Messrs. David HothersoU, Wilson and
Humphreys, and their decisions were as
follows: Best pot schizanthus, Joseph
Bobipson, society's prize; vase of stocks,
Joseph Bobinson, cultural certificate;
antirrhinums, Frank Kyle, cultural cer-
tificate; carnations, C. Milburn, honor-
able mention; three heads of cauli-
flower, C. Milburn, honorable mention;
basket of spinach, C. Milburn, honor-
able mention.
A prize of $5 was offered by an
anonymous donor for twenty-five carna-
tions at the May meeting.
Joseph Robinson gave an interesting
talk on growing stocks in 4-inch pots.
James Duthie read an essay on "The
Uses of Native Shrubs for Native Plant-
ing," written by L. P. Jensen. It was
greatly enjoyed by all present.
The exhibits for May will be one vase
of flowering shrubs, twelve tulips and'
two heads of cauliflower. J, T. I.

OHATTANOOaA, TENN.
The Maxket.
The weather has been good during
the last two weeks and business has
been satisfactory. The demand has been
far ahead of the supply. Easter was
the largest Chattanooga ever had.
Florists had all they could do and sold
out clean on lilies and pot plants, which
were in good supply.
Various Notes.
The Forest Hills Cemetery company
is moving the houses purchased from
the Chattanooga Floral Co. last fall to
its range at the cemetery. Business is
reported to be satisfactory.
W. F. Haeger is planting two houses
to Bussell roses. The work is nearly
completed.
Mrs. J. W. Crouch has a fine supply
of bedding stock that is moving rapidly.
The funeral of John A. Patton last
week saw the largest floral display ever
turned out in this city. The business
was well divided among the retailers.
G. A. K.
MOLINE, R. ISLAND, DAVENPORT.
The Market.
Business last week was a little slow,
but Easter had used up some of the
available supply of cut flowers. There
was no overabundance of cut flowers,
except possibly roses, which were in
heavy supply and lower in price. Car-
nations barely filled the demand. Daf-
fodils are near their end and tulips are
about out of the market. Sweet peas
are plentiful but selling well at a mod-
erate price. Lilies also are plentiful and
their prices are lower. Potted plants
continue in good demand and sell
readily.
Various Notes.
Ludwig Stapp, of Bock Island, will
finish glazing his three new houses in
a few days and expects to plant to roses
immediately.
Henrv Gaethje, of Eock Island, has
a splendid -Magnolia Soulangeana at the
entrance to his greenhouses. It stands
about fifteen feet higb and has several
thousand blossoms. Mr. Gaethje reports
that his Easter business was a record-
breaker, having sold out of cut fiowers
completely and most of the potted
plants.
Forber & Bird, of Davenport, had the
misfortune of badly smashing their de-
livery car last week. The machine
skidded into a curb, breaking both front
wheels, the windshield and lights. The
driver was unhurt. W. G.

FORT WAYNE, IND.
The Market.
Trade during the week following
Easter was brisk. Corsages were in
heavy demand and weddings called for
many decorations and bouquets. There
was the usual funeral work and a good
counter trade.
Cut flowers were in exceptionally
good supply, considering the great de-
mand of the holiday. Boses are plenti-
ful in both long-stemmed and medium
lengths. The shorter stems are in heavy
demand for corsage work. Shawyer,
Bussell, Eichmond, Killarney, Sunburst
and Ophelia are the leading varieties in
both quality and quantity. Carnations
are quite plentiful now, although Easter
Sunday it seemed as if they would not
be plentiful for many weeks, so com-
plete was the clean-up. The demand is
not so active as for roses. Snapdragon
is in good supply at present and sells
extremely well, Spanish irises are in
good demand. Cattleyas are scarce —
almost unobtainable, owing to the un-
usually large demand at Easter. Gar-
denias are plentiful. Some fine valley
is being shipped in from the western
market at 60 cents per dozen wholesale.
The supply is limited. There are no
western violets at this late date and
the eastern violets shipped in are in
poor condition.
The bulbous stock — daffodils, jonquils,
freesias, poeticus narcissi and tulips-
is in moderate supply. Hyacinths are
over for the season. Yellow and white
daisies, marguerites, forget-me-nots,
lilacs, sweet peas, pansies, primulas and
mignonette are in lively demand for cor-
sages. Sweet peas are plentiful in the
Spencer varieties. Greens are abundant.
Various Notes.
Charles G. Sauers, a landscape artist
from La Fayette, Ind., has been engaged
to lay out the grounds surrounding the
new school just north of the city.
Table decorations for the Bound Table
banquet last week were executed by the
riick Floral Co.
Edgar Wenninghoff was taken ill the
Friday before Easter with a sudden at-
tack of appendicitis and was rushed to
the St. Joseph hospital. He now is
well on the road to recovery. Some fine
calceolaria plants are being shown in
the Wenninghoff Flower Shop. B. F.

KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
Since Easter this market has been
short of stock, and the shortage is ex-
pected to continue until summer, unless
a sudden drop in business occurs. Fu-
neral work was the chief item of trade
last week. Everybody now is prepar-
ing for a big trade for Mothers' day.
The bedding season is expected to start
this week. Bulbous stock is practically
off the market; only a few blooms
strayed, in last week. Carnations are
of good quality and the demand for
them exceeds the supply. Roses are
plentiful and help to fill the vacant
spots left by other flowers. Extra fine
American Beauties are scarce, which is
the only shortage in the roses. Sweet
peas are not plentiful. Greenhouse-
grown gladioli have made their appear-
ance. There was a large lot of As-
paragus plumosus placed on the market
last week, but it now is all sold.
Various Notes.
Nelson Jarrett has his greenhouses
well filled with bedding stock of all
kinds. He has built an addition, 20x50
feet, which is well filled with stock.
After the spring rush he intends to
extend the length of his house to 116
feet.
Adolph Mohr has his place ready for
the spring business. He has some nice
Lorraine and Cincinnati begonias in
2% -inch pots.
A. F. Barbe will have his large house
ready next week. He intends planting
it to roses exclusively.
R. 8. Brown & Son report that ship-
ping business to southern points is
heavy this season. They still are busy
shipping stock throughout this section.
The St. Mary's Greenhouse has been
busy filling porch boxes. Bedding stock
here is good.
The Rosery reports that funeral work
April 28 was extremely heavy. Mrs.
Ellsworth has been confined to her room
with tonsillitis, but is expected to be
around again in a few days.
W. J. Barnes received a ♦large ship-
ment of boxwood trees of' all shapes.
He is cutting some fine carnations for
this time of the year.
John Stevens has finished planting
out 65,000 carnation plants in the field.
He now is cutting gladioli from his
benches. He has 10,000 bulbs planted
and is well satisfied with the percentage
of blooms.
Henry Kusik & Co. say if it isn't
wire designs it is something else in wire
work that keeps them busy. They now
are rushed with orders for hanging
baskets. There was a shortage of cut
flowers at this place and they sometimes
found it hard to fill orders. Relief from
this situation is expected soon.
Mrs. E. F. Biel, of Beloit, Kan., was
a visitor here last week.
T. J. Noll & Co. report business keep-
ing up well. The iceboxes are cleared
of all cut stock every evening.

Half Iron Frame Talk No. 5
Roof Bracings
"you have seen plenty of
Pipe Frame and Half Iron
Frame houses put up within
the last two or three years,
that, even in fairly good
widths, have only a pipe cross
tie between the columns.
You and I
know such a tie
can be of very
little use, es-
pecially <hen it
sags by t|s own
weight, as you
and I have so
frequently seen it
do.
When the wind
blows against
the roof, instead
of its making the
frame solid as a
rock, that pipe
tie often gives, loosening up
the glass.
Now look at the cross tie
in the cut and see the way we
braced it to the column and
tied it to the ridge.
This is our latest method of
framing our Half
Iron Frame house.
It is the same, in
fact, that we have
used in our Full
Iron Frame.
Of course, our
Half Iron Frame
is the next best
house to our Full
Iron Frame.
But why build
the next best ?
Why not have

Have you a Dietsch Greenhouse? If not, you ought to have, and it is not
too late to order your first one now. If you have, your next one will
probably be a Dietsch.
It is never too late to make a change for the better, and a better green-
house than we build has never been built and never will be. Dietsch
houses represent the best — absolutely tried and true from start to
finish and at a fair price, too.

The Market.
After a good clean-up at Easter, the
growers and retailers now are putting
forth their energies for a big business
at Memorial day. It is expected, how-
ever, that stock of all kinds will be
high and scarce. The florists are mak-
ing preparations to meet an expected
demand for white flowers on Mothers'
day, May 14. Last week prices dropped
to normal, except on violets, valley and
choice roses, which are still slightly stiff
in price.
Various Notes.
Peter S. Byrnes, of Wickford, had
the decorations for a large wedding at
Kingston last week.
John T. Burke, of Burke & Burns,
has the sympathy of the trade in the
death of his father, Thomas Burke, 75
years of age, which occurred April 27
as the result of being struck by an elec-
tric car near his home.
William E. Chappell has recovered
from the injuries received last autumn
by a fall down a flight of stairs.
Eugene McCarron, of Hope street, is
contemplating several large improve-
ments at his greenhouses this spring.
Frederick Deitz was a business vis-
itor to New York last week.
Johnston Bros, have several large dec-
orative orders for social functions dur-

Appleton & Co. have nearly a score

bining business with ]tleasure during

Wenlamin Chas»' Co.. Perrv Village. N. H.
Chisholm, Minn. — Although only a
village, the park and boulevard sys-
tem of Chisholm ranks higher than that
of many a large city, considering in
the contrast the size of the city and
then applying the ratio. J. L. Phillips
is the man who is putting Chisholm on
the map in this respect. There is a
municipal conservatory 30x100 feet
that supplies the plants, shrubs and
trees for the park on Longear lake, and
shortly there will be thirty-five miles
of boulevards. Chisholm was completely
demolished by fire in 1910, but today
it is a garden village, thanks to Mr.
Phillips, park superintendent.
Detroit, Mich. — John Breitmeyer 's
Sons were given a splendid write-up in
the Detroit Saturday Night of March
25. Two full pages were given to an
exhaustive article on the foundation,
growth, success and policies of the com-
pany. There were twelve illustrations,
giving views of the main store, known
as the House of Flowers, on Broadway,
the three branch stores and portraits of
John Breitmeyer, the founder, Philip
Breitmeyer, the son, Harry Breitmeyer,
the grandson, Albert L. Winckler and
Frank Danzcr, managers. The late
Elbert Hubbard came in contact
with the pew Breitmeyer store when he
was in Detroit for a lecture engage-
ment sonie time ago. Writing of his
experience afterward, Mr. Hubbard
called the store the "House of Flow-
ers" and spoke highly of the wonder-
ful interior. Philip Breitmeyer sub-
sequently adopted "House of Flowers"
as the name of his Broadway store.

New Malleable Fittings
FOR PIPE FRAME HOUSES
drawn
I HE advantage of mal-
leable iron fittings
over cast-iron ones,
is that they can be
up as tight as you
please without danger of break-
ing.
They can be made half the
weight of cast-iron fittings,
and still actually have more
strength.
We have made these new
fittings of ours with what we
call a pinch-draw grip.
You will see from the illus-
tration that the faces of the
Spilt Cross Vo. 1497 for ridge
column and cross ties. It
has that same pinch-draw
Krlp as No. 1470.
o^i^
'i'liis shows how No. 1497 is
used.
shoulders that carry the bolts
are tapered. When the bolts
are drawn up, the faces come
more evenly together and at
the same time cause the edges
of the fitting to dig into the
pipe, giving a biting hold, as
well as a squeezing one.
They are furnished with spe-
cial sherardized bolts.
We make them in all the
customary sizes of pipes used
in standard pipe frame houses.

WHAT HAVE YOU TO OFFER?
CYou receive so many compliments from advertisers in
The Review, about good results obtained, that we
are afraid you will not care very much for our mite of
acknowledgment. But to state facts: We owe The
Review the establishment of our business. The kind
information you have given us at times has helped us
along wonderfully, and last year, when the time came
to offer our stock for the first time, we concluded to
advertise in The Review only. The expenses for that
year's ads were $8.40, and this year $7.20. As for the
results: Last year we sold over 6000 bulbs; this
year, so far, over 12,000, and the few we have left
will surely go with another two insertions of a Classi-
fied ad. (April 12. 1916)

"AND DEPONENT SAITH
FURTHER, AS FOLLOWS:"
Out of a great mass of testimonials In support of the excellent character of Cypress for greenhouse con-
struction, 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 woodwork, with the
exception of some of the posts. My only regret has been that I have not used CYPRESS 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 greenhouses
built with clear CYPRESS, free of sap, 21 YEARS AGO, are being used today by their ownera, 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 DInaee & Conard Co., Rose Growers, West Grove, Pa., say: "We have used CYPREJSS 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 GREIBNHOUSE
CONSTRUCTION. We 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-inch stock lasted only about four years, while bo
far, we have had no 'Pecky' CYPRESS 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 of lumber for the purpose." Not
bad is it? ^

What you want for late stock is the "best"
not the "cheapest." My stock is strong and
clean, the large, thrifty cuttings that will catch
up with or surpass much earlier potted stock.
Get samples and see for yourself.
ALICE.
Don't overlook Alice. It is an easy, quick
grower, both in field and bench, and will produce
a great abundance of blooms early, when blooms
mean money. Most of the big growers are greatly
Increasing their stock for next winter. I grew
500 for a party last summer and this is what he
writes:
Lakewood, N. J., Apr. 10, 1910. Dear Sir:
"About 'Alice,' we would advise planting a good
lot of It. It is a fine color, a gooti keeper, and
a fine ylelder. It will keep twice as long as any
Enchantress type of carnation.' — A. S. MacBean.

clump of them. Center of leaves bright yellow,
bordered with olive green, with deeply serrated
edges intermingling with yellow. Has all the
good qualities of TRAILING QUEEN, differing

mate. This is a very attractive novelty. Order

Listen: — Gus Obermeyer, Parkersburg, W. Vs.,
April 24, 1016, in ordering 100, says: "The 50
Easter Greeting I got of you last fall were cer-
tainly fine for Easter and I sold all and could have
sold many more at 75c each in 5-in. pot. Wilt
want more later on for stock. The only trouble
I find with them, THEY BLOOM TOO MUCH.
The only way I could get plants of any size
was to keep buds pinched off until near selling
time." Gus Is originator of that gold medal
canna, "WEST VIRGINIA." Don't you think
he knows a good thing? And don't you think
the above is a good adv. for Easter Greeting?
It's the same old story, and easy for you to
prove. 2V4-in. B. G. and Lucie Becker. 8c: 3-ln..

The A. F. Amline plant, Maywood, 111., in process of construction. This ranue of fflass. 400x650, is the largest single
range ever contracted for at one time. Why did they choose the AGEMCO? Read the Fable.
The Fable of the House Builder
'"■ Once upon a time there was a man who did wish to build for himself a house.
He made known his desires about the town. Straightway all of the builders of
the country did gather themselves together in front of his home and each did
pester him to have them do the work on the new house.
Frenzied by the turmoil of the many clamoring builders the man did say unto
them: "Speak you one at a time, and in turn. I will give all an audience."
The first of the builders to speak did clamor of the fact that he had builded
houses in the same way for over forty years.
"I'll have none of you," said the man with disgust, to the first builder, "you
do boast of being behind the times."
The second did prate of his equipment, of how sharp his tools were, and that
they were of the most recent design. "Surely," said he, "with such tools I can
do the best of building."
But the man told him to go, saying: "I am not making purchase of tools. It
is a house that I wish."
Then came a third man; said he: "No man on earth can build a house in
less time, nor using less material or for less money, than I."
He, too, was sent about his business by the man, who said: "Such a house
would be worse than no house at all; be gone."
Still a fourth builder did come; with him he did have plans. He did tell the
man what he would do, and just how and why he did do so.
The man was pleased and did rejoice. "At last." cried he, "here is a man
of brains. He does know how. why and vvherefoi'e to build. This man shall
build my house."

The Conservatory as an Advertiser
BUILT FOR ST. ADELBERT'S CEMETERY AT NILES. ILL.
AGAIN we waut to point out the logic of having a green-
house in connection with your flower store.
Annually you spend hundreds, perhaps thousands of
dollars for advertising your flowers and you are very care-
ful to see to it that you spend your money to good advan-
tage.
Now stop and consider a conservatory in connection
with your store. Anyone who sees your' place even at a
distance immediately knows it is a floral establishment.
Advertising signs could not tell the fact so well. Custo-
mers like to step into a conservatory, it's pleasant; they
like to see the growing plants.
Another good point is that you can take your plants
frou; the salesroom occasionally and place them in the
conservatory to revive and freshen them up a bit.
But the best part is that while your plants are grow-
ing they are also acting as advertisers.
We have built many conservatories in connection
with stores and we are very anxious to co-operate with
you. Our estimates and sketches are furnished free of
cost or obligation to buy. Write us about your needs, we
can help you.
